The two kids had woken up at some point and were standing at the bathroom door, looking at them curiously.
At this moment, the manâs hand was under her skirt.
Ye Shengge was scared out of her wits. She pushed the man in front of her with all her might and said reluctantly, âJinchen, Jinqing⦠you⦠youâre awake.â
Hearing her words, Ji Shiting froze. His Adamâs apple bobbed a few times before he turned to look at the two children.
âDad, Mom, what are you doing?â Jinchen asked innocently.
Jinqing was still rubbing her eyes. It seemed that she wasnât fully awake yet.
âMom and Dad are busy. Jinchen, take your sister outside first, okay?â Ji Shiting tried to suppress the desire in his voice and said as calmly as possible.
Ye Shengge glared at him but did not dare to move.
Fortunately, the little fellow didnât suspect anything. He nodded and held Jinqingâs hand. âJinqing, letâs go find Aunt Xiu.â
The two of them turned around and left.
Ye Shengge blushed and glared at the man in front of her. âI have nothing to do with you! Let go of me!â
âThen promise me youâll keep your distance from other men.â His dark eyes contained a hint of suppressed discontent. âDonât say another word about having an affair or anything like that. This kind of joke isnât funny.â
âI wonât promise you anything.â Ye Shenggeâs lips curled up. âIf Iâm unhappy, I can do anything.â
If saying that would make him care more about her, Ye Shengge did not mind adding to his burden.
Ji Shiting frowned and said powerlessly, âMust you agitate me like this?â
âWill my actions agitate you?â Ye Shengge suddenly smiled. âDonât worry, I wonât divorce you. No matter what, Iâm your good wife.â
Ji Shiting pursed his lips and looked at her deeply for a long time.
Ye Shengge looked at him calmly.
For a moment, she wished she could see some pain in his eyes. Or he could tell her that his heart would ache at the thought of her with another man.
But there wasnât. The manâs dark eyes were filled with helplessness mixed with anger.
Ye Shengge laughed self-deprecatingly and said hoarsely, âLet go of me.â
Ji Shiting seemed to let out a long breath. He closed his eyes and pressed his thin lips on her forehead.
The suffocating feeling in his heart attacked him again, making him abnormally anxious. The man instinctively felt that he shouldnât let this matter go so easily, but he didnât know what to say to satisfy her.
Ye Shenggeâs hand was still on his chest.
She could feel the manâs impatience. He might never understand why she insisted on having a fight with him, even though everything seemed fine to them now.
âNever mind. Iâm not going to throw a tantrum with you.â She smiled, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek. âJust put me down,â she whispered.
Startled, Ji Shiting opened his eyes and looked at her.
The woman smiled and the sadness and self-mockery in her eyes finally disappeared.
He heaved a sigh of relief and said in a hoarse voice, âDo you still want to threaten me with cheating?â
âItâs not a threat. Iâm just stating a fact.â Ye Shengge shook her head. âHowever, if that day really comes, it means that Iâve decided to separate from you.â
This answer made the manâs eyes even colder.
âYou wonât get the chance,â he said with a straight face.
Ye Shengge did not say anything but suddenly smiled.
He seemed to have said this more than once..
