Ji Shiting listened quietly and the scenes she described seemed to have surfaced in his mind.
He then recalled the day she gave birth three years ago.
When he went to the hospital to see her, the two kids were already born. The woman was lying on the bed, and her face was weak and pale. However, her eyes glistened the moment she saw him.
How had he felt then?
He felt immense heartache and self-reproach, as well as the joy and relief of the successful birth of his children.
However, it was difficult to arouse his emotions now. Even if he remembered how he had felt at that time, it was difficult to replicate it. Only that slight pain made him feel that perhaps he wasnât hopeless.
He closed his eyes and kissed Ye Shenggeâs forehead. She talked for a long time before she finally fell asleep.
Ji Shiting took a deep breath and hugged her tighter.
After the car arrived at Qianfan Villa, he got out with Ye Shengge in his arms. However, the woman in his arms suddenly woke up just as he walked to the living room.
She blinked, looked up at him in confusion and said coldly, âPut me down.â
Ji Shitingâs heart sank. âWhat happened?â
âIâm going to walk around the garden,â she said as she puffed her cheeks. Although she was still drunk, her words were clear.
Ji Shiting breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost thought she had decided to leave.
âYou wonât be able to stand straight if youâre drunk,â the man said. âIâll carry you.â
âNo, noâ¦â She shook her head. âYou wonât be able to see anything thenâ¦â
Ji Shiting said, âIâll carry you.â
Ye Shengge was stunned for a while but she then nodded.
Ji Shiting put her on the ground, and the man squatted down in front of her after she regained her stability.
Ye Shengge lay on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. The man picked her up and carried her to the garden.
Without needing any instructions, Sister Xiu turned on all the lights in the garden, so the garden was as bright as day.
It was the start of spring, and the cherry blossoms were blooming beautifully. It looked like a fairyland.
Ye Shengge rested her chin on his shoulder and asked, âShiting, do you remember the last time you carried me?â
She recalled that when she had just gotten pregnant, she had asked that man to piggyback her at the resort. At that time, he had always said he felt burdened by her, but in reality, he was gentle and considerate.
Ji Shiting was silent for a bit before saying, âYes, I remember.â
âYou loved me a lot back then,â Ye Shengge mumbled.
Ji Shiting swallowed hard, not knowing how to respond.
âYouâve given me a lotâ¦â She looked at the cherry blossoms not far away. âNot just love, but confidence and courage⦠Youâve changed me completely.â
Ji Shiting took a deep breath but didnât respond.
âYouâve never given up on me.â She sniffed and continued. âEven when I almost killed you, you never wavered for even a second.â
Ji Shiting stopped in his tracks.
He had a guess, but he couldnât believe it. His heart couldnât help beating faster.
âShenggeâ¦â
âPerhaps I still have some strength,â Ye Shengge said softly as she interrupted him..
