The woman in his arms was shaking badly. She was panting, and her eyes were filled with tears. Her lips were swollen, and blood was seeping out.
Ji Shitingâs eyes dimmed. He bent down and sucked the blood clean.
âJi...â Ye Shengge choked and said.â Shiting, donât be like this...ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat?â He said hoarsely and pinched her chin. âAre you going to tell me that I shouldnât treat my ex-wife like this?â
Ye Shengge lowered her head and didnât say anything.
âYe Shengge.â The man called her name. âDid you blacklist my number?â
The woman shivered but didnât deny it.
âAs expected.â Ji Shiting smiled. âI didnât believe it at first, and I called you almost every day. I thought youâd turn off your phone, and I thought you would. I didnât expect you to block my number. I didnât expect you to have the guts.â
Ye Shengge shivered, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back.
Ever since she left, she hadnât dared to think about what that man would do. She was afraid that she would waver, so she tried to cut off all contact with that man.
âSorry,â she said hoarsely. âThereâs nothing I can do. Thatâs all I can do...â
If she wavered even a bit, everything would return to square one because she knew she wasnât a match for that man. His strength and gentleness would tempt her to become weak and dependent, so she could only force herself to be heartless.
âI donât want to hear your apology.â Ji Shiting held her face and forced her to look him in the eyes. âWho was the one who cried and told me that she couldnât leave me? I thought you would cry all day, but I didnât expect you to be doing well. I was overthinking.â
âIâm not...â
âFrom the looks of it, you made the right choice.â The man suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly. âBeing forced to stay by my side will only torture you. How great is it now? You have a career, friends, and many outstanding suitors.â
Ye Shengge was upset, and she couldnât help being dazed when she heard the last sentence. âWhat suitors?â
Ji Shiting stared at her beautiful face and felt his heart burn.
That woman might still love him, but she didnât need him anymore. He was just a dispensable existence in her life, so she was still living well alone. She could digest all the pain and reluctance.
Ji Shiting couldnât have regretted it more when he recalled how she had greeted Ling Yutong in the dining room.
She then recalled what Song Ruyu had said about how his influence on her was diminishing, and the frustration and powerlessness in her heart intensified.
âDo you remember what I said before?â The man pinched her waist, and his Adamâs apple bobbed. âI told you, if you dare run, Iâll break your legs.â
Ye Shengge shivered and stared at him.
Ji Shiting sneered.
He grabbed her waist and lifted her up, using his knees to open her legs so that she could feel her presence.
âBreaking your legs is letting you off too easily.â The man saw the fear in her eyes and curled his lips. âIâd rather f*ck you until you cry.â
