At close to midnight, Ji Shiting finished his work and returned back to the master bedroom.
The first thing she saw was the woman sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. She was holding something in her arms, and her head was lowered. He didnât know what she was doing.
Ji Shiting lips curled upward.
At least she wasnât dumb enough to return to her own room.
He walked over and lifted her chin, but then, he felt a weight on his arm. She had now leaned her head against his arm. Seems like she was asleep. At that moment, the photo frame she was holding fell onto her legs, and Ji Shiting noticed it.
The manâs pupils contracted as he looked at the photo frame.
Sister Xiu had probably gotten it from his grandpa. He hadnât never noticed it before, and that woman had found it.
His Adamâs apple bobbed up. He was caught off guard by the sudden tenderness.
Ji Shiting couldnât help groan and poked her face.
Ye Shengge was startled awake.
âAh...â She rubbed her eyes and said in a dry, raspy voice, âHave you finished your work?â
âMm.â Ji Shiting showed her the photo frame. âWhere did you find it?â
Ye Shengge looked at the photo frame and said, âIâm just curious about the duobaoge.â
âCurious about?â he asked indifferently.
Ye Shengge didnât know whether it was her imagination, but she could hear gentleness in his cold voice.
âCurious about you...â Her eyes glinted. âI want to know you a little more.â
Ji Shitingâs dark eyes seemed to burn as he stared at her face.
She had already removed her makeup, and her face looked like a lotus on still water. She looked shy, which made her birthmark seem even more seductive.
The manâs breathing got heavier. He held her face and kissed her.
Ye Shengge shivered, but she didnât dodge. She wrapped her arms around his neck and let him do whatever he wanted.
What surprised her was that the kiss wasnât intense at all. He moved slowly and meticulously, making it difficult for Ye Shengge to resist him. Before long, her face turned red, and her eyes turned misty.
Ji Shiting took a deep breath and let her go. His deep breathing showed his desire.
Ye Shengge was looking forward to it, but also nervous.
Want to... do it?
âYou want it?â The man seemed to read her mind, and his deep voice contained a hint of mocking.
âNo, I didnât.â She denied it subconsciously. Then, she summoned her courage and said, âIâm not seducing you.â
âReally? Then why are you sitting here waiting for me and not returning to your room?â He raised his eyebrows.
âI wasnât waiting for you.â Ye Shengge puffed her cheeks and said. âIâll return back now.â
âWhat do you mean?â Ji Shiting sneered and scooped her up. âMove your stuff here tomorrow.â
Ye Shengge was stunned. And then, she was put on the bed.
âAre you serious? Iâll move my stuff here tomorrow then.â She couldnât believe it and asked again.
Ji Shiting pinched her cheek. âI donât want to repeat myself.â
âOkay.â She smiled.
Ji Shiting gazed at her smiling face and gulped again.
He didnât have the intention of touching her but when facing this woman, he always seemed to have the urge to do so.
