Ji Shiting grabbed and held Ye Shengge in his embrace when she ran into him.
âYouâre back, honey.â Ye Shengge buried her head in his chest, her voice intimate and soft.
She hadnât expected that she would say âhubbyâ so easily the moment she hugged him. Perhaps, she had become more dependent on that man than she had imagined.
The womanâs soft body made Ji Shiting breathe heavily.
However, his eyes dimmed the next second.
âLet me go,â he said calmly without any emotions.
Ye Shengge couldnât help wanting to let him go, but then she changed her mind and hugged him tighter. âNo.â
She didnât know where she got the courage from.
âStop it.â Ji Shiting sounded sarcastic. âThe powder on your face is now on my shirt.â
Ye Shenggeâs face heated up, and she finally let him go.
âAre you hungry?â She didnât give up and smiled at him. âIâm having dinner. Do you want to join me?â
Ji Shiting looked at her exquisite face with makeup and that big silly smile.
âNo.â He still wasnât moved. He took off his suit jacket and walked upstairs.
Ye Shengge puffed her cheeks and rushed to him, blocking his way.
âJi Shiting!â She couldnât help raising her voice.
The man stopped walking and looked at her. âIs there something else?â
âYou...â Ye Shengge bit her lips. âSister Xiu said you asked someone to give me this dress. Do you think it looks nice?â
Ji Shiting gaze went from her to the gown and he groaned, âMm.â
Ye Shengge was hit by his attitude and felt sour again.
âAre you still mad at me?â She sounded aggrieved. âYouâve asked someone to give me my gown...â
âYouâre my wife after all. I have the duty to protect you,â the man said coldly. âBut thatâs all.â
âArenât we supposed to be more passionate as husband and wife?â Ye Shengge said.
Ji Shiting finally looked more solemn.
He sneered and said, âWhat kind of passion do you want?â
Ye Shengge didnât know what to say.
âNot that kind of passion.â She bit her lips. âAt least... you can have dinner with me.â
Ji Shiting looked at her with a questioning look.
After a while, he looked away and said, âIâve already eaten. Go ahead.â
He walked around her and headed upstairs.
Ye Shengge blinked again and again to suppress the tears in her eyes.
She looked at the manâs distant and aloof back, gritted her teeth and pounced on him.
Ye Shengge fell to the ground, gasping in pain.
âOuch!â She was sprawled on the ground, watching Ji Shitingâs back view miserably.
Ji Shiting turned around instinctively.
The manâs pupils contracted when he saw her on the ground.
