She couldnât help panting after the kiss. Ji Shiting took a deep breath to calm himself down, then he smiled and hugged her tighter.
Ye Shengge was almost completely lying on him, and she couldnât help licking her lips.
âYou want it?â He chuckled.
Ye Shengge shook her head. It wasnât the right time tonight. There might be surveillance cameras here, and she didnât want anyone to see them getting it on.
Ji Shiting cupped her face in his hands and pressed his fingers against her lips. His dark eyes were gentle, as if he had countless things to say, but he couldnât say anything.
Ye Shengge blinked and suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes.
âItâs been three yearsââ¬Â¦â She choked. âI broke up with you at this time three years ago.â
On the day she gave birth to Jinchen and Jinqing, Ji Shiting had come to see him. That was the last time they had met, until they met in Summer City a week ago.
It was the kidsâ birthday after midnight.
It was like a cycle. It would be best if their lives could return to normal tomorrow.
But would it be that simple?
Ye Shengge suddenly started to suspect something.
She also recalled how Ji Shiting had knocked her out in the lounge. What had he talked to Professor Xu about that he didnât want her to know?
âWhat are you thinking about?â He smiled and stroked her face.
âNothing.â She blinked. âShiting, I want to be with you no matter what.â
Ji Shiting paused for a bit and said, âOf course.â
She tugged at his collar and said, âPromise?â
The man thought for a bit and put the cufflinks on his right wrist into her palm. âThatâs my guarantee.â
âAhââ¬Â¦ You want to patronize me with just a small thing?â Ye Shengge pretended to be upset.
âYou should happily accept my gift, even if itâs just a piece of paper.â He raised an eyebrow and said domineeringly.
Ye Shengge couldnât help humphing. She was still upset but she put the cufflinks on her body carefully.
The clock was about to strike midnight, and their eyes met.
âHappy birthday, Jinchen and Jinqing.â
Ye Shengge believed that Ji Shiting was doing the same thing as her.
He then whispered into her ear, âThank you, Shengge.â
Ye Shengge understood that he was trying to say how hard it had been for her to give birth to the kids and raise them.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she smiled.
Ji Shiting smirked and said, âSleep.â
â¦
After midnight, Jing Tong finally arrived at the airport in Beijing.
She was dazed for a moment when she arrived in the place she hadnât been in for three years. However, she knew that it wasnât the time to be emotional. She hailed a taxi and told him the address of the Jiang familyâs manor.
She couldnât help laughing at herself for still remembering that manâs address after such a long time.
There was no traffic at this time, so she arrived at her destination in less than half an hour. Jing Tong got out of the car and rushed to the door.
Most of the servants of the Jiang family knew her, and they were shocked to see her at the door.
Jing Tong didnât care what she was thinking. She asked, âIs Jiang Yu here?â
âYes,â the servant answered and walked to the manor to inform Jiang Yu of her arrival.
