âBesides what?â
âYou wouldâve slept with others long ago if you had the chance.â Ye Shengge looked up at him.
Ji Shiting paused for a bit and smiled, âYe Shengge, actually, you were subconsciously certain that I would wait for you, which is why you rejected me so readily. In that case, waiting for you would be my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you. You donât have to bear the moral shackles anymore, do you?â
âIâm not...â She retorted.
Ji Shiting said, âYou always say you donât want to hurt me or drag me down, but have you ever thought about what I really need?â
Ye Shenggeâs face paled.
âAre you doing this for me or for yourself?â Ji Shiting chuckled as he recalled what she had said that night when she was drunk. âPerhaps my paranoia has put too much pressure on you, making you want to run away.â
âNo... No!â Ye Shengge was dazed as if she had been punched.
âIâm trying to adjust.â He stared at her with his dark eyes. âThatâs why I restrained myself from seeing you, and even blocked all your traces, but itâs too difficult for me. I can only endure it for so long. I want to know how to give you up. Since this is your wish, perhaps you have a way, huh?â
Ye Shengge bit her lips.
â...I donât have a choice. If I had a choice, I wouldâve used it on myself.â She smiled. âJi Shiting, youâre also very bad, you know... Because you made me unable to love anyone else.â
The man breathed heavily.
He took another step forward, and they were almost hugging each other.
âThatâs fair, isnât it? I wonât be free, and you can forget about having it easy.â His voice was hoarse. âYou know Iâve always been overbearing, so before you fell in love with me, I didnât even want you to know how important you are to me. Itâs the same now. Even if we canât be together, donât even think about letting me go.â
Ye Shengge hadnât expected him to say that, and her heart ached.
âThatâs why Iâll still show up in front of you from time to time, making you realize how great a loss it is to leave me, making you realize that you wonât be able to find a better man than me.â There was a hint of malice in his voice. âI donât want you to suffer because of me, but if you really get over it one day, Iâll be furious.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Shengge suddenly felt a strange warmth in her heart. She felt that she had probably gone crazy. She could actually feel the warmth from the manâs words.
âSo you provoked a bunch of women because you wanted me to suffer?â Ye Shengge couldnât help asking. âLike Cheng Xinyue.â
âThen, will you be jealous?â He raised an eyebrow.
âI know you have nothing to do with them.â
âTsk... It looks like I need to find a woman who can make you feel threatened.â He pondered.
Ye Shengge didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
âJi Shiting, is this really fun?â
âYes.â The man curled his lips, but his dark eyes were terrifying. âI can accept any form of interaction as long as itâs with you, even if itâs torture.â
