Ji Shitingâs pupils contracted as he said, âAre you saying youâre Summer Wood?â
âYes...â Ye Shengge shrunk her neck. âThe Summer Wood you like. I... I didnât mean to hide it from you. I just found it difficult to tell you. â
Ji Shiting took a puff on his cigarette, with a solemn look on his face.
Ye Shengge was a bit uncertain. She had finally told him the truth, but it had happened under such circumstances.
His reaction wasnât what she had expected.
âVery well. Turns out that my wife is Summer Wood.â He took a deep breath and sounded disappointed. âYou hid such an important thing from me. Iâm kept in the dark, yet even an outsider knows about it?â
The disappointment in the manâs voice was like a knife that stabbed into her heart, making it clench tight.
âI... I really didnât do it on purpose...â She stammered.
âIf you had told me this earlier, none of this wouldâve happened.â Ji Shitingâs voice was hoarse. âWhat else are you hiding from me?â
âThatâs all!â Ye Shengge recalled. âShang Tianyi and Mu Yanhuai know that Iâm Summer Wood. I asked to borrow Xiao Qiu to expose Mu Xiaoya today. I got the video evidence and was about to post it online, but Xiao Ruilang took the hard drive.â
She told him everything that had happened recently, âIâm sorry. There are many things I didnât tell you. Itâs not that I donât trust you, but I just donât want to owe you anything.â
Ji Shiting put out the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray. He then grabbed her chin and said, âYou shouldnât have come here if you really knew what was going on. You owe me a lot.â
âUm, itâs different,â she explained. âAlthough I got close to you to get rid of my birthmark, you didnât suffer any loss... After that, Iâll be the lead actress and open a studio. Iâm confident that I can repay you greatly, so...â
âThatâs why you donât owe me anything for all of these.â Ji Shiting sneered. âYou know this very well. At the end of the day, you just donât want to be my wife.â
Ye Shengge couldnât argue back. She lowered her head and said, âShiting, Iâm sorry. Please donât be mad.â
She had to admit that Ji Shiting was right. She could say all kinds of sweet nothings to appease him, but she didnât do that at all.
She didnât want to trouble him, which made things more complicated. In the end, he had to help deal with all her trouble.
Ji Shiting saw the regret on her face and smiled.
However, his expression was still cold.
He hugged her tightly and said, âI wonât be angry as long as you know your mistake.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Shengge couldnât help heaving a sigh of relief.
âWhat about Xiao Ruilang?â She asked. âThe Xiao family is very powerful, isnât it? Will he be a threat to you?â
The man said calmly, âItâs indeed a bit tricky. Weâll deal with whatever comes our way when the time comes.â
âSorry...â Ye Shengge was filled with regret.â Iâll tell you if anything happens in the future. â
Ji Shiting stroked her hair, curled his lips and nodded.
