â...Iâm not as weak as you think.â
The womanâs voice was as soft as ever, but it sounded stubborn and determined.
Ji Shiting was silent for a bit, then he grabbed her wrist and said, âLet go first.â
Ye Shengge put her arms down.
Ji Shiting turned around and saw her stepping on the ground. He frowned and carried her back to the bed.
âItâs good that youâre so sharp in other things,â he said.
âThat means youâve found something.â She wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him. âShiting, I want to know.â
The man put a hand in her hair and clenched his jaw.
âYes, I did find out something,â he admitted in the end. However, he added, âBut I wonât tell you.â
The anticipation in Ye Shenggeâs eyes disappeared. She puffed her cheeks and said, âSince itâs about me, I have the right to know.â
âMm.â The man shot her a glance. âWhat can you do to me if I donât say it?â
Ye Shengge was lost for words.
Sure, youâre amazing. Youâre amazing.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Shiting pinched her face and said, âYou just need to know that removing this birthmark wonât do you any good. Your parents are trying to make you forget everything. You should trust them.â
Ye Shengge refused to give up. âDo you think I canât handle it, or do you think... those things will affect our marriage?â
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow and said, âWill you stop if itâs the latter?â
âWill I hurt you?â She was very stubborn.
Ji Shiting wanted to tell her to give up, but he shook his head and said, âNo, donât worry.â
Ye Shengge breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his waist. âItâs alright as long as it doesnât hurt you.â
âYou still donât want to give up, huh?â The manâs eyes dimmed as he pinched her chin. âDonât look for trouble, Ye Shengge.â
âI donât want to cause trouble,â she said. âBut I can only get pregnant if I get rid of the birthmark. If I canât get pregnant, grandpa will definitely have something against me. When that time comes... grandpa might even ask you to divorce and marry someone else.â
Perhaps it was because the Ji family didnât have many children, and his son had died young, but Grandpa Ji was very insistent on having a great-grandson.
Thus, Ye Shengge knew that she had to have a child with Ji Shiting if her marriage with him continued.
Ji Shiting saw the worry in her eyes and his heart softened.
âYouâre right. Grandpa Ji would do such a thing.â Ji Shiting nodded and curled his lips. âBut I wonât listen to him. Donât worry, my wife can only be you.â
Ye Shengge bit her lips and said, âWhat if you lose interest in me?â
The man snorted and said, âI finally made you devoted to me. Do you really think Iâll let you go?â
âBut a child...â
âThereâs always a way,â Ji Shiting interrupted her. âI donât mind whether you adopt or find a surrogate. Itâll save you the pain of being pregnant. Or we might as well not have a child.â
