Ji Shitingâs eyes dimmed as he watched the woman leave. He walked to the head of the bed, took out a cigarette box and lighter, and lit up a cigarette.
Amidst the smoke, the manâs handsome face looked gloomy. After a while, he suddenly thought of something and smiled.
He put out his cigarette, left the room and went downstairs.
...
Sister Xiu had been feeling uneasy ever since Ji Shiting returned. She immediately went up to him and said, âYoung Master, I...â
âYou donât have to explain.â Ji Shiting looked at her. âBut there wonât be a next time.â
Sister Xiu couldnât help heaving a sigh of relief. She knew that no matter how many reasons she had, she had still revealed Young Masterâs private affairs. Even if the person she had reported to was the Old Master it was still a huge taboo for any servant.
Fortunately, the Young Master still trusted her and knew that she was just being concerned. Otherwise, she wouldâve left immediately.
âThen... Iâll serve you dinner now?â Sister Xiu asked carefully.
Ji Shiting nodded.
After dinner, the man returned to the study.
After finishing some work, he leaned back against his seat and his jaw clenched.
He picked up his phone and made a call.
After a while, the call connected.
âWhy are you looking for me?â Gu Yimo said. âI didnât reveal anything!â
âDonât worry. Itâs a good thing.â Ji Shiting smiled. âStop all your work and continue investigating what I told you last time.â
âIsnât there a result already?â Gu Yimo was upset.
âI need to know the reason.â The man lowered his eyes. âShengge has an uncle called Ye Wenhua. Try to get close to him and gain some information from him. My subordinates tried looking for him but failed. Also, report everything you can about Ye Haocheng and his wife in Yang City to me.â
â...Iâm a scientist, not a private detective!â Gu Yimo was furious.
âI think you are more suited to be a private investigator.â Ji Shiting curled his lips. âOnce this is done, you donât have to worry about your research funding anymore.â
âDamn it!â Gu Yimo gritted her teeth. âFine, Iâll do it!â
...
In the second bedroom facing the garden.
After night fell, the lights in the garden gradually lit up. There was a thin layer of mist, making it look dreamy.
Ye Shengge stood by the window in a daze after showering.
She had run away after throwing a tantrum, so Ji Shiting shouldnât have ignored her no matter what.
Ye Shengge was very nervous, and as time passed, her anxiety intensified.
It wasnât early anymore, and Ji Shiting should be asleep soon. She walked out, went to the master bedroom and twisted the doorknob.
However, it didnât open!
Ye Shengge immediately knocked on the door.
âJi Shiting!â
This man still had the cheek to say that this was her room, yet he locked her outside after a fight?
She was still feeling aggrieved when she heard a deep voice.
âWhatâs wrong?â
