Ye Shengge was dazed. She didnât speak until the man pulled her into his embrace and she smelled the familiar cold air, âYou... Youâre awake?â
Ji Shiting was already dressed. He looked at her lazily.
âYes. I didnât expect you to be up earlier than me.â He stroked her chin with his left hand and said, âSeems like I didnât work hard enough last night.â
Ye Shenggeâs face blushed, and she stared at him with her eyes wide open.
Ji Shiting pinched her cheeks again and stroked the birthmark. âItâs gotten smaller indeed. Are you happy?â
âI... am...â Ye Shengge stammered.
This was because... Ji Shiting was too gentle. She had been with that man for some time, and she could read his emotions better and better, but she had never felt so gentle, relaxed, and satisfied before.
Her heart was beating fast, and she had a bad feeling.
Ji Shitingâs eyes narrowed upon seeing how shocked she was.
He had indeed adjusted the way he treated her, but her reaction was too big, which made him unhappy but also satisfied.
He smiled again, lifted her chin and said, âWhat happened?â
The manâs raspy and slightly happy voice seemed like it contained some magic, which made Ye Shengge blush.
She looked away and laughed dryly, âI... I have filming in the afternoon...â
âCanceled it.â Ji Shiting wasnât mad at all. Instead, he pinched her burning ears and smiled. âWe have a whole day to spend together.â
âBut...â Ye Shengge took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. âIâm the lead actress. If I take a day off, the progress of the crew will be slowed...â
âOh, you donât want to be alone with me?â The man said.
âNo!â
âThen why are you so tense?â He lowered his voice and licked her red earlobe. âItâs rare for me to rest today. Donât you want to spend more time with me?â
Ye Shengge shivered.
That man was just so weird! Why had he turned into a gentle prince all of a sudden? Where had that aloof and arrogant Ji Shiting gone to?
âSay something.â He sounded upset.
However, Ye Shengge couldnât help heaving a sigh of relief. This was the Ji Shiting she was familiar with. It seemed that his soul hadnât been possessed...
âI... I still have work to do,â Ye Shengge said calmly. âIâll return to Qianfan Villa when itâs my rest time.â
Ji Shitingâs eyes dimmed. He was still stroking her chin, but he had stopped smiling.
Ye Shengge licked her lips nervously, prepared for him to be furious or leave, but three seconds later, the coldness in the manâs eyes dissipated.
He curled his lips and said, âOkay, Iâll wait for you.â
He then kissed her lips.
Halfway through the kiss, there was a scream in the living room, followed by hurried footsteps.
