âYouâ¦â Ye Shengge glared at him, but she didnât have the strength to argue with him anymore.
âMy time tonight is all yours, okay?â He chuckled.
âShould I thank you for your charity?â Ye Shengge smiled bitterly.
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow.
âThen let me rephrase.â He stared at her. âStay tonight, okay? I miss you.â
Ye Shengge sniffled and put her head on the manâs shoulder. It was a familiar embrace and scent, and he was trying to comfort her, but she still felt sad.
Ji Shitingâs heart ached seeing how she was still sobbing.
The elevator stopped.
He carried her out of the elevator and found the room. He swiped his card and entered. Seeing that the woman in his arms still looked dazed and weak, he swallowed hard and sat down on the sofa.
âIâll ask them to deliver another meal.â He pinched her chin with his long fingers, making her look up at him. âDo you want it?â
Ye Shengge nodded and put her head on his shoulder.
Ji Shiting was dazed. He hugged her tighter and said, âIf the cooperation fails, it means that York is too petty. This kind of partner isnât worth keeping around.â
Ye Shengge bit her lips and said, âBut the next partner might not be as good as him. Are you going to destroy it too? Iâve only interacted with CEOs and high-ranking executives of big corporations, and most of them are men. Some of them want to marry me because of the shares I have in T.S. Corporation. Some think Iâm a pushover, so they take advantage of me verbally. There are also some who think Iâm lonely and want to have a one-night stand with meâ¦â
Ji Shiting got angrier. âTheyâre courting death! Do you remember who they are?â
He had heard Qiao Yanze mention that she was very popular, but he hadnât expected that most of the men who were interested in her had bullied and humiliated her.
âIt doesnât matter who they are. Most of the time, itâs just a tactic. They think they can destroy my psychological defense by humiliating me, so they can have the upper hand in the negotiation.â Ye Shengge sniffed. âOf course, I wonât sit still and let them have their way.â
Ji Shiting was still furious. He grabbed her hand and said, âSorry.â
She shouldnât have endured all this, because it wasnât her fault.
âSo you should know that itâs rare to have a partner like York. At least he didnât disrespect me.â Ye Shengge bit her lips. âBut you said I was trying to ingratiate myself to him.â
Ji Shiting was stunned, but he couldnât deny it.
He had indeed said that in a fit of anger.
âI didnât mean what I said.â He kissed her eyes. âI apologize, okay?â
âNot only that, but sometimes, Iâll even leave him hanging and make him think he can get me. That way, heâll give in to some minor details,â Ye Shengge said as she stared at him. âActually, I planned to do the same for York. At least Iâll have some leeway and wonât reject him completely.â
Ji Shitingâs eyes widened, his eyes as dark as an endless abyss.
