He saw the determination on the womanâs face and the vulnerability in her eyes, and he suddenly recalled what Song Ruxu had said to him.
âYouâll affect her emotions greatly, so you can make her better or worse.â
At least Song Ruxu was right about one thing. He would greatly affect her emotions, and he could see her pain, sadness, and conflict clearly.
âWhen she sees you, sheâll remember that she hurt you before. The pain and self-reproach might deepen her illness, but at the same time, youâre also the source of her courage and motivation. On one hand, itâs because she canât bear to part with you, and on the other, itâs because sheâs afraid of hurting you again. Mr. Ji, which emotion do you think is better for her?â
It seemed that she was more afraid of hurting him.
Ji Shiting swallowed hard and said, âIâve been reading up on T.S. Corporationâs businesses these days. I found out that T.S. Corporation owns half of your studioâs shares.â
Ye Shengge didnât understand why he suddenly brought it up, but she nodded and said, âThatâs right. T.S. Corporation paid for the studioâs startup.â
âWere we married then?â he asked.
Ye Shengge nodded and said, âThe studio... is equivalent to a gift from you.â
âBut the studio isnât profitable yet,â the man said.
Ye Shengge explained, âThe studio hasnât been established for long, and itâs still in the early stages of investment. I reckon it wonât be profitable until two years later.â
In fact, in just two months, T.S. Corporation had spent most of its initial funding. There were too many ways to spend money to start a business. Fortunately, she and Shang Tianyi had been in this industry for a long time, so they were experienced. Although they had used up all their money, they hadnât wasted it.
She and Shang Tianyi both had high hopes for the studio, but they needed time no matter how promising it was.
Thus, she couldnât help feeling guilty upon hearing Ji Shiting mention it.
âMm.â Ji Shiting nodded. âHave you been busy with the studio lately?â
Ye Shengge nodded and said, âI havenât been filming lately, and I donât have any other jobs.â
Ji Shiting looked at her for a while.
For that woman, feelings had never been as important as work and career. Perhaps she still felt guilty and blamed herself for the pain she was in now. If it was just the matter of separating from him, she might not be able to recover.
He had once hated how calm and reserved she was, but now, he felt that having a job to distract her wasnât necessarily a bad thing.
The manâs passionate gaze made Ye Shengge uneasy.
âWhatâs wrong?â she asked.
âI think youâre right,â Ji Shiting said. âWe all need to start a new life.â
Ye Shengge shivered and couldnât say anything. She nodded.
âSo, are you going to date another man?â The man smiled. âTo start your new life?â
âNo...â Ye Shengge answered subconsciously. She then looked down and said,â Iâm very busy with work. Iâm afraid I donât have time. â
âI didnât expect my ex-wife to be a workaholic,â he said sarcastically.
âIf...â Ye Shengge suppressed her bitterness.â If you want to start dating, donât... donât worry about me. â
Ji Shiting curled his lips and said, âOh, but I canât find someone worse than you?â
