After recovering her strength, Ye Shengge took a shower and changed her clothes. Sister Xiu had returned from Ming Building with her luggage.
âYoung Madam, let me help you put it on,â Sister Xiu said with a smile.
âNo need. Iâll do it myself later. You donât know my habit of placing things.â Ye Shengge smiled. âThank you.â
âYouâre being too polite, Young Madam. This is what I should do.â Sister Xiu handed the key back to her.
Ye Shengge took it and felt the coldness of the key.
âLetâs go down. Shiting should be back soon.â
...
As night fell, the lights in the villa lit up.
Ye Shengge stood at the door to welcome him.
Ji Shiting got out of the car and walked to her. He grabbed her hand and said, âWhy are you standing here?â
âI want to see you as soon as possible.â The woman smiled, and her eyes were filled with longing.
Ji Shiting couldnât be upset anymore. He softened his eyes and grabbed her waist. âCome have dinner.â
At the dining table, Ye Shengge acted like a considerate wife. She smiled gently and scooped soup and food for him, not even bothering to eat.
Ji Shiting found it amusing, but his heart softened.
âWhatâs wrong, huh?â He chuckled. âAre you that happy?â
âIâm still your wife. Of course Iâm happy.â Ye Shengge looked at him and curled her lips. âIf you dare to date another woman again, Iâll break your legs.â
Ji Shiting smiled and said, âYe Shengge, youâre getting bolder.â
âThatâs because you spoiled me.â Ye Shengge snorted. âBesides, havenât you been threatening to break my legs every day?â
The manâs heart pounded seeing how delicate she was.
âMm, thatâs right. Itâs all my fault.â His voice was hoarse. âDonât bother about me. Eat more yourself.â
The two of them had often eaten together before, but they had never been so intimate and harmonious like today. Perhaps it was because they were telepathically connected, but Ji Shiting no longer suspected that she was being gentle to please him. Ye Shengge also didnât need to worry about making him unhappy with what she said, so they didnât need to hide or pretend anymore.
That was probably how real couples were. They had been married for so long, but this was the first time they were getting along like ordinary couples.
Ye Shengge felt sore seeing the gentleness in the manâs eyes.
Ji Shiting wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, âArenât you curious about what grandpa and I talked about?â
Ye Shengge clenched her chopsticks and smiled, âAt least grandpa didnât faint from anger. Thatâs the best outcome for me.â
Ji Shiting looked at her and smiled, âGrandpa is indeed very angry, but heâs experienced all kinds of things, so he wonât faint from anger.â
âGrandpa definitely wonât allow me to move back.â Ye Shengge smiled self-deprecatingly.
âThereâs nothing he can do if he doesnât agree,â Ji Shiting said calmly, but his tone was firm. âIâm his only grandson. He has no choice.â
Ye Shenggeâs breathing stagnated for a moment, but then, she smiled.
âIâm full.â She looked at the man opposite her and bit her lips. âShiting, you donât have any work tonight, do you? Can you accompany me?â
