She wiped away her tears hard, thinking that she still couldnât control herself, or that she couldnât control herself when facing him.
âNo need. Iâll leave now,â Jing Tong said coldly. âIâve tried my best. Itâs up to you whether I help you or not.â
Jiang Yu frowned as he watched her leave. He walked up and grabbed her wrist, âWhere are you going at such a late hour?â
Jing Tong pushed him away and said, âWhat does it have to do with you?â
âDonât be stubborn, Jing Tong!â He frowned as if she was an insensible child.
âIâm not being stubborn, but youâre being ridiculous.â She suddenly laughed. âWhatâs our relationship? With what status am I going to stay at your house?â
âWeâve known each other for almost twenty years. Isnât that enough?â
âI havenât forgotten who sent my father to prison.â Her eyes turned red. âJiang Yu, Iâve cut ties with you at that time. Our relationship is at most slightly better than that of strangers. Itâs my fault. I shouldnât have come to you today.â
She then strode away and disappeared into the night.
Jiang Yu didnât stop her this time, but he clenched his fist, feeling irritated.
He forced himself to suppress his irritation and worries, turned around, and then headed upstairs to the study.
However, just as he reached the second floor, the servantâs voice sounded behind him, âSir, Ms. Jing was hit by a car when she rushed out. She canât get up now!â
Jiang Yuâs expression changed, and he turned around and ran out.

The next day, Ye Shengge woke up very early in the morning. After opening her eyes, she realized that Ji Shiting was also awake. He stroked her back slowly and pondered silently with a deep gaze in his eyes, as if he wasnât feeling anything.
Ye Shengge blinked and asked softly, âShiting?â
âYouâre awake?â The man smiled, held her face up and kissed her. âYouâre up. Remember to listen to my instructions later, okay?â
Ye Shengge bit her lips and nodded.
After washing up, they left the room. After walking through the long hallway, they came to the circular living room they had entered yesterday.
Hua Cheng was drinking coffee. She smiled and said, âProfessor Xu is getting prepared in the operating theater. Have breakfast first.â
âGetting prepared in the operating theater?â Ye Shengge looked at her in surprise, and then at Ji Shiting.
However, Ji Shiting looked calm. He obviously knew what was going on.
She pursed her lips without probing further, and asked for an answer with her gaze.
âI wonât hurt you, Shengge.â The man grabbed her shoulders and said seriously. âTrust me.â
Ye Shengge opened her mouth, and a thought flashed across her mind at the speed of lightning.
She knew what Ji Shiting and Professor Xu had talked about. That was the only way they would allow her to leave.
âNo, noâ¦â She shook her head. âI wonât leave you here alone. I donât want to lose my memoriesâ¦â
âAre you more willing to be a puppet?â Hua Cheng suddenly said. âYou might not even have a chance to be a puppet. You might die.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Shengge ignored her and hugged Ji Shiting tightly. âTheyâre going to operate on you⦠No, I told you, I wonât allow it! Iâd rather die!â
