The man looked gentler when he smiled, so did his dark eyes. Although his smile was a bit helpless, it was realer than ever.
Ye Shengge looked at him for a while and nodded smilingly. âOkay.â
Perhaps, that was enough. As long as she didnât keep thinking about how he had treated her in the past, it wasnât impossible for them to continue being together.
In a sense, Ji Shiting was treating her better now.
Most importantly, she couldnât bear to part with him. Even if she wavered, she couldnât leave him alone, even if he didnât need her.
Besides, if they really divorced, even if Ji Shiting didnât want to remarry, she wouldnât be able to stop other women from falling in love with him. That was something she couldnât tolerate.
Even if he didnât love her, he could only belong to her.
If she couldnât get his heart, she could at least have his body.
Ye Shengge suddenly smiled, though it was unclear if it was self-deprecating.
Ji Shiting couldnât help heaving a sigh of relief seeing her smile. He stroked her hair and said, âDo you want to play the swing? Letâs go back to our room if you donât.â
âPlay with me,â she said slightly coquettishly.
âI canât.â He glanced at the empty seat beside her.
Ji Shiting was glad that the swing was made for the two kids, so it was narrow and could only accommodate one person.
Ye Shengge pursed her lips in displeasure.
âIâll ask them to make a bigger one tomorrow and play with you,â the man promised. âOkay?â
Ye Shengge nodded and said, âOkay then.â
Ji Shiting breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Shengge reached out to him and said, âI want to take a showerâ¦â
The strong smell of alcohol made her uncomfortable.
Ji Shiting curled his lips and carried her back to the bedroom.
He put the woman on the bed and went to the bathroom to fill the bathtub with water. After doing so, he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
He then started to undress her.
He tried not to look at her body, but he still couldnât control himself when his fingertips touched her.
Ye Shengge was very obedient the entire time. She had been following him, and now, her eyes widened. She suddenly leaned over and kissed his cheek.
Ji Shiting froze and stared at her with an intrusive gaze.
âWhat do you mean?â
Ye Shengge didnât say anything and merely smiled at him.
While breathing irregularly, Ji Shiting took off her bra, grabbed her waist and sent her into the bathtub.
Her skin was soaked in hot water, and she couldnât help sighing. She then saw the man standing by the bathtub and unbuttoning his shirt.
His eyes were dark and solemn, as if the endless night was hidden in them.
Ye Shengge couldnât help licking her lips.
Ji Shiting swallowed hard. He was certain that the woman was seducing him, so she really wouldnât leave.
That was what she meant when she said she had figured it out.
Ji Shiting couldnât describe how he felt. That strange emotion made him stop breathing and stop what he was doing.
That woman might love him more than he thought.
âShould I thank my past self? She had chosen to stay because I didnât give up on her in the past..â
