Ye Shenggeâs eyelashes fluttered. After a while, she nodded and said, âYouâve just been discharged. Go back and rest early.â
âAre you chasing me away again?â The man put a hand in her hair and stood up. âYou want to run after flirting?â
âIâm not...â
âYou rushed to me dressed like this,â the man said as he pinched her body. âIt looks like youâre seducing me.â
Ye Shengge blushed and grabbed his hand. âWho asked you to come? I was too surprised, so I was impulsive. I thought...â
âWhy?â Ji Shitingâs eyes dimmed. âDid you think I was with another woman?â
Her lips moved, but she didnât say anything.
âThatâs why you forgot what you said once you got excited,â the man said slowly. âI thought you were really generous, but it turns out you still care.â
Ye Shengge felt suffocated.
âYouâre mistaken,â she said. âIâm just worried if something happened to you...â
The man grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his dark eyes.
âThe woman you met in the evening was the matchmaking partner grandpa arranged for me.â His voice was cold. âWeâre both compatible, and her personality... seems pretty good. She even lent you an umbrella.â
Ye Shenggeâs eyelashes fluttered. She didnât dare tell the man that she had thrown away the umbrella when she got home.
âSheâs the most suitable person for the women Iâve dated,â said the man. He suddenly smiled and said, âSheâll wait for me in the hotel as soon as I call her.â
Ye Shengge shivered and begged, âJi Shiting, you donât have to tell me...â
âReally?â His tone was cold. âI thought you would be happy for me after hearing all this.â
âYes.â She blinked her dry eyes. âI... will indeed give you my blessings.â
Ji Shiting stared at her for a while and smiled, âAre you going to chase me away if I say Iâll sleep with another woman as soon as I leave?â
Ye Shenggeâs face paled. Her lips moved, but she couldnât say anything.
Ji Shiting wasnât in a hurry. He waited for her reply, but he had already grabbed his phone.
Ye Shenggeâs face turned pale.
[Sheâll wait for me at the hotel as soon as I call her.]
The manâs words lingered in her mind, making her lose all her strength, but... she couldnât ask him to stay, let alone spend the night with him.
â...I should go back,â she said. She stared at her toes and didnât dare look at him. âYou...â
Ji Shiting hadnât expected her to be so determined. His pupils contracted, and for a moment, he wanted to strangle that woman.
He sneered, retracted his hand and made way. âPlease help yourself.â
Ye Shengge walked toward the stairs, still feeling the manâs burning gaze on her back.
