Before the journalists realized what had happened, they were all picked up and thrown out of the room, followed by yelling noises.
âThese people are disgusting. Lucky that we came in time.â
âThose people... I bet they arenât even real journalists.â
Ye Shengge heard two men talking. Before she looked up, she saw a slender hand reaching toward her.
That hand had distinct joints and it looked exquisite.
âGet up.â The man with the hand said. His deep voice sounded familiar and melodious.
Ye Shengge suddenly wanted to cry. She sniffed, looked up at the manâs sophisticated face, and she couldnât help but feel wronged.
Sheâd never expected anyone to come save her, no matter what kind of trouble she was in. She knew that there would never be a man like that.
However, this was the first time she had realized how wonderful it felt for someone to come to save her out of nowhere.
Ji Shiting frowned upon seeing her about to cry.
He pouted a bit, picked her from the ground, and in the next second, she wrapped her arms around his neck and teared up.
Ji Shiting wanted to push her away, but hearing her whimpering sound, he didnât have the strength to do it at all.
He knew that the woman was probably trying to cling to him.
âStop crying.â He stroked her long hair, trying to comfort her with his firm voice. âThe security in the hotel did a bad job. Iâll file a complaint immediately.â
Qiao Yanze twitched his lips, but he couldnât argue back.
He had asked the security guards to let the journalists in because he wanted to see the woman himself, but heâd never expected them to be so despicable.
However, it was worth it seeing Ji Shiting console a woman like this, even if he might have retaliated.
Yu Shuhang had been looking at Ye Shengge, then he poked Qiao Yanze and said, âDonât you think?â
âWhat?â said Qiao Yanze.
Yu Shuhang frowned and said, âDonât bother.â
Qiao Yanze didnât think about Yu Shuhangâs reaction. Ye Shengge finally stopped crying, looked up and asked the man in front of her, âWhy did you come back? Itâs not me clinging on to you this time.â
Ji Shiting pinched her chin and sneered, âI only came back to pick up some stuff. I just ran into it.â
Ye Shengge didnât believe a word he said, but she didnât argue back, only nodded and pretended to agree.
The man retracted his hand, looked at Qiao Yanze and Yu Shuhang. âHas it been settled?â
âIâve asked the security guards to take away their electronic devices and send them to the police station. They wonât let them out until theyâve been taught a lesson,â Qiao Yanze said and looked at Ye Shengge. âCan you introduce her now?â
âNot necessary.â
âJi Shiting, youâre not human!â
âI mean, thereâs no reason to introduce her,â said Ji Shiting apathetically. He grabbed her wrist. âFollow me.â
Ye Shengge looked around and followed him. Actually, she had recognized Qiao Yanze before. He was the fourth child from Fengqiao Corporation. With his solid family and handsome face, he was as popular as many A-list celebrities. There was gossip in the media about him from time to time. The other dashing man might also be Ji Shitingâs friend, a rich boy in Yang City.
But since Ji Shiting had decided to escort her away, she wouldnât bother confirming his identity and didnât even look at those two people.
She needed to seize this chance as that man finally showed some kindness.
...
Qiao Yanze and Yu Shuhang followed, both looking weird.
âCanât believe Ji Shiting would pick a girl over his friends,â Qiao Yanze exclaimed.
Yu Shuhang thought a bit and said candidly, âYouâve overestimated us. I donât recall him valuing us much before.â
â...â Qiao Yanze said with a straight face, âOkay. Stop talking.â
