Ji Shitingâs face sank upon hearing that voice, and he immediately looked away.
Ye Shengge was dazed. That voice sounded strange.
She looked toward the door, but Ji Shiting stopped her, and she could only see the corner of his shirt.
âGive me a few minutes,â Ji Shiting said calmly. He let go of the woman in his arms, put her on the bed and covered her with the blanket.
Ye Shengge couldnât see anything anymore, but she felt anxious.
Who was it? Why did she call that man by his name? It meant that he had a special relationship with that woman.
But wasnât he very cold to women? She had never seen him talk to another woman before.
Oh right, he had a fiancée before, but she left him. Was that fiancée back?
Given her own relationship with Ji Shiting, Ye Shengge wouldnât have a right to mind if Ji Shiting did indeed have another woman.
However, if she didnât mind⦠she felt a chest tightening.
Ye Shengge was in a dilemma. She turned around and tried to see what was happening at the door, but Ji Shiting had already walked out of the room and was about to close it.
âMom, why are you here?â The manâs deep voice came through, and the door closed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Um⦠Ye Shengge was embarrassed. She had clearly let her imagination run wild.
â¦
Outside, Xu Shaoqing, who hadnât seen him for a long time, couldnât help choking up.
Xie Siqi who was holding on to her arm smiled. âWe met Sister Xiu downstairs, and we found out that you were here with her. Therefore, we checked for the ward number. Mom really misses you.â
Ji Shiting totally ignored her. Instead, his gaze was focused on the woman in front of him and he asked calmly, âWhere do you feel unwell?â
Xie Siqi bit her lips.
Xu Shaoqing was too excited to see her son, so she didnât notice her stepdaughterâs expression. She smiled and said, âItâs just a minor issue. Siqi wants me to have a doctor take a look. Donât worry.â
Although Xu Shaoqing was almost fifty years old, she was still very beautiful, probably due to the fact she had taken great care of herself and lived a comfortable life for many years.
âMm,â Ji Shiting answered coldly. To him, the small talk was over.
Xu Shaoqing was used to his detached personality, so he didnât mind it at all. She sized him up carefully and realized something was wrong.
Ji Shitingâs shirt was slightly open, and he had lipstick and eyelashes on his collar. There were still traces of a woman nibbling on the corner of his lips, which made him look beyond seductive. Coupled with his lazy look, it was obvious what had just happened.
Xu Shaoqing was used to seeing how aloof Ji Shiting was. Thus, at this moment, she really didnât know what to say.
However, this scene was so glaring to Xie Siqi.
âHave you forgotten, mom? Shitingâs married.â She smiled. âDonât you want to meet her?â
âThatâs right!â Xu Shaoqing came to his senses. âIs that Ms. Ye inside? Can I meet her?â
âThere will be no need. Itâs not convenient for her right now.â Ji Shiting refused without any hesitation. âPlease go back and rest early.â
âI just want to see what kind of girl my son likes. Canât I?â Xu Shaoqingâs eyes had now reddened. âMarriage is such a big deal. I donât blame you for not discussing the matter of your marriage with me, but I can at least meet her, right?â
