Ye Shengge walked over and said, âDonât blame Shiting. Itâs all my fault. He just feels sorry for me!â
Ji Shiting shot Ye Shengge a glance, signaling her to stop talking. He then looked at his grandpa and said, âGrandpa, Shenggeâs career is still in its infancy. Itâs unfair to her to have a child so early. What do you take her for? A birth tool?â
The manâs voice was calm but sharp.
Grandpa Ji nearly choked from anger.
Although he did think that the main purpose of getting married was to have kids, he couldnât say that out loud.
âWhat do you think, Shengge?â Grandpa Ji was smart. He immediately targeted Ye Shengge. âAre you having second thoughts about having a child for the sake of your career? I donât have many years left.â
Ye Shenggeâs heart sank when she heard what Grandpa Ji said.
âNo, grandpa. Iâm willing to have a child!â She couldnât help blurting out. âIf I canât get pregnant in half a year, Iâll give up the position of Mrs. Ji!â
âShengge?â
âGreat! I knew you were a good kid!â
Ji Shiting and Grandpa Ji both blurted out at the same time.
The manâs unfathomable gaze seemed to burn a hole in her body.
Ye Shengge hugged his arm and gave him a helpless and pitiful look.
âDid you hear that? Even Shengge is more sensible than you!â Grandpa Ji glared at Ji Shiting.
âSince youâre satisfied, Iâll take her away.â Ji Shiting said coldly as he pulled Ye Shengge away.
âShiting?â Xu Shaoqing couldnât stand his indifference. âAre you going to pretend you didnât see me?â
âI told you not to interfere with my business anymore.â Ji Shiting shot her a glance. âYou didnât care about me back then, and you donât have the right to do so now.â
Xu Shaoqingâs face paled.
The man then turned around and left. Grandpa Ji watched and didnât dare stop him.
âShaoqing, that kidâs like that now. Donât take it to heart,â Grandpa Ji comforted.
Xu Shaoqing was still heartbroken, and he was on the verge of collapsing. Xie Siqi grabbed him.
Compared to Xu Shaoqingâs sadness, Xie Siqi was filled with hatred and jealousy.
Ji Shiting was only cold to Xu Shaoqing, but he didnât even look at her.
...
On the way back, Ji Shiting drove while Ye Shengge sat in the front passenger seat.
The manâs expression was cold, and he didnât say a word. He also drove very fast.
Ye Shengge knew that she had angered him, so she didnât dare say anything.
After returning to Qianfan Villa, Sister Xiu greeted her as if she wanted to explain something, but Ji Shiting walked past her and went upstairs.
Ye Shengge was about to comfort Sister Xiu when she heard the man say, âCome here.â
She gave Sister Xiu an apologetic look and followed Ji Shiting.
After returning to the room, the man took off his jacket and turned to look at her.
âSorry, Shiting.â Ye Shengge bit her lips. âI shouldnât have said that. I didnât have a choice back then... But what should I do now? If I donât get pregnant in half a year, will grandpa really force you to divorce me?â
She then looked at him pitifully.
The man stared at her for a while and curled his lips.
