âI donât care.â Ye Shengge snorted. She retracted her hand and popped a candy into her mouth.
Ji Shiting looked at her and was rendered speechless.
Ye Shengge greeted Grandpa Ji with a candy in her mouth.
Grandpa Ji shook his head and said, âCome in.â
Dinner was lively.
After dinner, Ji Shiting brought the two kids to wash their hands.
Ji Shiting looked at Ye Shengge, nodded and left the dining room with the two kids.
Ye Shengge realized that Grandpa Ji might have something to say to her.
âGrandpa?â She asked.
âActually, itâs nothing. I just wanted to ask if youâve been well lately.â Grandpa Jiâs tone was gentle, but his eyes were filled with nervousness. âHow are you getting along with Shiting?â
Ye Shengge was dazed.
She suddenly realized that she wasnât the only one hurt by Ji Shitingâs situation now.
The two kids hadnât interacted much with Ji Shiting before, so they probably didnât think anything bad about their father. At most, they felt that their father was strict and not easy to get close to.
However, it was impossible for Grandpa Ji not to feel anything. After all, Grandpa Ji was Ji Shitingâs only family member. He had played too many roles in Ji Shitingâs growth, and the two of them had always had a good relationship. However, Ji Shiting only had respect for Grandpa Ji now.
Grandpa Ji asked her how she was getting along with Shiting, probably because he wanted to know Shitingâs current situation because he was the one who understood his change the most.
âHeâs trying to make me happy.â Ye Shengge pursed her lips. âBut I can feel the difference.â
Grandpa Ji sighed and said, âItâs been hard on you.â
âPerhaps⦠itâs difficult for him.â Ye Shengge smiled bitterly.
She had pissed him off when she closed his laptop in the car, but he didnât show it. If she kept messing with him like this, he might not be able to take it anymore.
âShengge, youâ¦â Grandpa Ji was a bit worried. âDonât tell meâ¦â
âGrandpa, I know what youâre worried about. Donât worry. I wonât think about getting a divorce.â Ye Shengge forced a smile.
âThatâs goodâ¦â Grandpa Ji suddenly felt guilty. He looked at her and said, âBut donât force yourself if youâre really unhappy. Even if you break up with Shiting one day, nothing else will change. Youâll be the only mother of the two kids. Youâll have a part of the company, and Iâll always be your grandpa.â
Ye Shengge was dazed, then she nodded and said, âIâll remember.â
â¦
It was getting late, so the two kids said goodbye to Grandpa Ji and left the manor with their parents.
Ji Shiting was in charge of driving, and Ye Shengge was in the front passenger seat. The two kids were sitting in the back seat, murmuring to each other.
Ye Shengge couldnât help being distracted as she thought about what Grandpa Ji had said.
Ji Shiting suddenly said, âWhat did Grandpa say to you tonight?â
Ye Shengge was dazed. She turned around and looked at him. âGrandpa said not to force myself if Iâm unhappy.â
Ji Shiting was rendered speechless.
Just as Ye Shengge thought he wouldnât respond, he suddenly said, âI wonât give you that chance..â
