âItâs just that I canât reject the blind dates that grandpa has arranged for me,â he said, stroking her face. âDo you have anything to tell me?â
Ye Shengge shook her head and said, âNo... Theyâre not as good-looking as me.â
The man chuckled and said, âNot bad. Your confidence deserves praise.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIsnât that so?â Ye Shengge glared at him. âAm I not the most beautiful woman in the world in your eyes?â
The man lifted her chin and scrutinized her for a while. Finally, he smiled and nodded, âThatâs right. Youâre the most beautiful woman in the world.â
Ye Shengge blushed and buried her face in his neck again.
âJi Shiting,â she said.
The man hugged her tighter and nodded.
âAre you really not afraid?â She said, âBesides... you promised to start a new life on your own that day.â
She could feel that he had made up his mind.
âSong Ruyu told me that Iâll affect your emotions greatly.â The man grabbed her hand and put it on his chest. âPerhaps Iâll make you better, or perhaps Iâll make you worseâif I stay by your side.â
Ye Shengge was dazed. She couldnât help looking into his eyes, waiting for him to continue.
âYouâre so determined. I wanted to part ways for a while and see how your treatment works.â Ji Shiting stared at her eyes and said, âBut I realized that your life isnât much better without me.â
âWho said that... I...â
âYou work all day long and sleep mechanically. This kind of life isnât good at all,â said the man. âIf it werenât for me, you wouldâve been fine. But it turns out you canât leave me at all.â
Ye Shengge bit her lips. She wasnât convinced, but she couldnât argue back.
Thatâs right. She had forced herself to work when she was separated from that man, but she wasnât happy at all. It was as if a part of her life had been taken away, and her soul was no longer complete.
She couldnât lie to herself anymore, but this wasnât an excuse for her to keep that man by her side. He felt sorry for her, so he was willing to take the risk, but similarly... she loved him, so how could she bear to let him take the risk?
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she was about to go crazy.
If only he had really lost his memory... She thought again. That way, she wouldnât struggle and be so selfish as to indulge in the gentleness he gave her.
Ji Shiting looked at her trembling eyelashes and guessed what she was thinking.
His Adamâs apple moved, and he kissed the corner of her lips. âYe Shengge, are you really going to abandon me?â
She paled and stared at him, as if she hadnât expected the man to use the word âabandonâ.
âI... No...â
âHeartless woman.â He sneered. âIs it because your birthmark is gone, so Iâm useless to you? I just woke up, yet you dared to give me the divorce agreement... I really wanted to break your legs!â
Ye Shenggeâs eyes turned red. He even remembered his birthmark... Indeed, he hadnât lost his memory at all.
âJi Shiting, you know thatâs not the case...â
