Ji Shiting shot her a glance and said, âWhy would I listen to Grandpa?â
âYouâre taking off your clothes!â
âOf course I have to take off my clothes to sleep.â The man raised his eyebrows. âI didnât sleep last night. I didnât expect you to still be so energetic.â
â...â Ye Shengge said seriously. âRight, of course you have to remove your clothes before sleeping. Actually, Iâve been sleepy for a long time, but grandpa fainted just now, so I had to force myself to stay awake.â
âOh.â He shot her a glance.
âIâll sleep now,â Ye Shengge said as she took off her jacket and climbed under the covers.
She pretended not to hear him.
Soon, she felt the man lie down and hold her. She was a bit nervous, but she didnât know whether she was looking forward to it or afraid. However, he didnât move further. He just hugged her and buried his face in her shoulders, breathing slowly and calmly.
It seemed that he really only wanted to sleep.
Ye Shengge hesitated for a bit, turned around and faced him.
The man opened his eyes and said, âWhat, do you want it?â
âShiting....â She hesitated for a bit and asked,â Did you... think of your father...â
She could feel that the manâs emotions were a bit off after returning to the manor, but he didnât reveal anything in front of his grandpa.
Ye Shengge couldnât help asking.
Ji Shiting clenched his fist and smiled, âYouâre very sharp today.â
In the past, the way this woman didnât use her brains could be rather infuriating.
However, she was unbelievably sharp today.
âUm... Because I care about you...â She smiled.
Ji Shiting looked at her and said, âHis death was an accident. Iâve always felt that something was wrong and I suspect...â
âYou suspect your mother?â Ye Shengge couldnât help asking. âIs that why youâve been so cold to her all these years?â
âDonât interrupt.â He frowned.
Ye Shengge immediately covered her mouth and looked at him.
âLike you said, Iâve always suspected it was her.â Ji Shitingâs voice was hoarse. âBecause she had an affair with the Xie family before my father died.â
Ye Shengge blinked, indicating that she was listening.
âBut I didnât expect my biological father to have cheated as well. I donât know who did it first,â the man said self-deprecatingly.
It was still unknown whether Ji Ziliang had been killed by Xiao Cheng or not, but Xiao Ruilang was probably telling the truth about Ji Ziliang and Xiao Ruilangâs birth mother. No man would want to frame their mother unless it was the truth.
Ye Shengge felt sad seeing his cold face.
âShiting, no matter what the truth is, youâre innocent,â Ye Shengge said solemnly.
The man pinched her face.
âAnd...â She thought for a bit and added,â I wonât betray you. â
She suddenly understood why that man was so possessive and controlling. He had seen his mother cheat on him when he was young, and even his fatherâs death was caused by his mother, so he didnât trust the opposite sex. That was why he had such a big reaction when he saw her and Qin Youhui filming a sex scene.
However, Ji Shiting scoffed, âAs if you will dare!â
