âIâm busy,â Ji Shiting said. âIs there anything else? If not, Iâll excuse myself.â
âThereâs something I need to do.â The woman smiled. âSorry, can you ask the girl beside you to look up and let me take a look? Itâs rare for you to come here, Young Master Huo. Iâm worried that theyâll arrange for someone who doesnât look good to you.â
âIâm pretty satisfied with that.â He sounded even more impatient as he walked out with Ye Shengge in his arms.
âStop!â The womanâs voice became stern.
Although Ji Shiting stopped walking, his face turned sullen. He looked at the woman in front of them and said, âWhat do you mean? Are you looking down on me?â
The woman stared at Ye Shengge. Even if Ye Shengge kept looking down, she couldnât help being seen clearly.
âYoung Master Huo, that woman canât go with you. To apologize, you can pick any other girl you want.â She suddenly smiled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat if I want her?â
âThen I can only offend you,â the woman said firmly. âThe person youâre holding is an important guest of mine. The leader made a mistake and arranged for her to come out, so I canât let her go with you.â
Ye Shengge knew that he had confirmed her identity, so she looked up and smiled, âI wanted to leave with Young Master Huo voluntarily.â
âDid you hear that? She came to beg me.â Ji Shiting sounded tough. âThis is between me and her. Donât bother.â
âAll the girls at our banquet are under the same management. How can I not care?â
âYou just said sheâs your guest.â Ji Shiting sneered.
âI have to stay behind no matter what!â The womanâs face sank. She waved her hand and asked her subordinates to surround him. âSorry, Young Master Huo.â
âLetâs see who dares!â Ji Shiting sneered.
Ye Shengge was burning with anxiety.
There was no way she could leave now, but Ji Shiting was âYoung Master Huoâ and he had a chance to get away. She was afraid that the man wouldnât let go. If he was too stubborn, the other party would suspect his identity, and both of them wouldnât be able to leave.
Ye Shengge said, âThank you for your kindness, Young Master Huo. I thought you could save me, but it looks like⦠I donât want to implicate you. Leave.â
Ji Shitingâs pupils constricted as he looked at her expressionlessly.
Ye Shengge pushed his arm and said, âYoung Master Huo, I lied to you just now. Sorry. Iâll thank you when I have the chance in the future.â
She stared at him.
She believed that Ji Shiting could understand her hint. He had left her here to seduce him, so she wouldnât be in danger as long as he didnât show up. He could find another chance to save her after leaving.
However, if he insisted, it would arouse their suspicions, and they wouldnât be able to leave.
Ji Shiting suddenly looked at the woman opposite him and said, âHow did she offend you? Did she owe you money? Iâll pay it for her no matter what.â
âHeh heh, donât tell me you really like her, Young Master Huo? However, I donât have any feud with her, so I donât need you to pay me back. I just need her to stay here,â the woman said. âYoung Master Huo, Iâll count to three. If you donât let her go, I wonât be polite anymore.â
