âIâll see it another time.â Xie Siqi said after taking a deep breath to calm herself down.
âAlright then.â Ye Shengge added. âShiting and I love taking walks in the garden. There was once when he almost... Ahh, letâs not talk about it anymore. We should head back!â
Ye Shengge stopped when she saw Xie Siqiâs stiff and pale face. She smiled and held Xie Siqiâs arm, âSister, I might be rambling a little too much. I hope you donât mind.â
âOf course not.â Xie Siqi said.
Ye Shengge felt l that Xie Siqi might strangle her at any moment.
Xu Shaoqing and Ji Shiting had finished their chat in the living room.
âThank you so much, Shiting.â Xu Shaoqing smiled. âI couldnât help you much, yet I still have to trouble you.â
âItâs nothing.â Ji Shiting still sounded calm. âI have something to attend to, so I canât ask you two to stay.â
Xu Shaoqing appeared disappointed. She gazed at the flow and smiled sadly. âOf course. Iâll head back with Siqi now.â
Xie Siqi grabbed Ye Shenggeâs arm and said, âMom, Shiting... agreed?â
âMm.â Xu Shaoqing smiled and nodded.
Xie Siqi immediately looked towards Ji Shiting and said, âThank you so much, Shiting.â
Ji Shiting nodded and grabbed Ye Shenggeâs hand.
âWhy didnât you put on more clothes when you were out?â He frowned. âItâs only been a few minutes, yet your hands are already so cold.â
Ye Shengge smiled, put her hands under his clothes and hugged him. âThen you should warm me up.â
She blinked several times at Xie Siqi as she said that.
Xie Siqiâs face was ashen, and her teeth were nearly chattering.
Ye Shengge didnât seem to notice her anger. She smiled at her and said goodbye to Xu Shaoqing, âBye, auntie.â
âGoodbye.â Xu Shaoqing watched them leaning against each other and felt relieved yet conflicted.
Xie Siqi turned her gaze away and tried to look elegant again.
âLetâs go, mom.â She forced a weak smile.
Ye Shengge heaved a sigh of relief after they left.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Shiting curled his lips and pinched her chin. âWhat did you guys talk about?â
He imagined that Xie Siqi would say some unnecessary stuff to Ye Shengge and he was prepared to comfort her after they left.
He never expected this woman to have such a smug expression.
Ye Shenggeâs eyes even seemed to be glowing.
She had used all her acting abilities on, and hence had been able to toy with her ease. However, she couldnât help blushing as she recalled what she had said.
âNothing much. Just some casual girl talk.â She smiled and pulled her hands away.
Ji Shiting grabbed her hands and smiled, âXie Siqi has never lost her composure in front of anyone. What did you say to her?â
Ye Shengge stole a glance at him and said, âI think sheâs very interested in the position of Mrs. Ji.â
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow. âSo?â
âIt looks like you know how she feels about you.â Ye Shengge blinked. âSheâs beautiful, comes from a good family, and likes you. She should be the perfect wife for you. Why didnât you consider her before?â
