That day, Ye Shengge received a call from Ji Shiting.
âRight, this man promised to call me every day.â
Ye Shengge was curious about how he would coax her.
Hence, she answered the call and stopped talking after saying hello.
Ji Shiting paused for a second and smiled. âWhy arenât you talking?â
âTm waiting for you to speak,â Ye Shengge said slowly as she stood up and walked towards the dressing room.
âHave you finished filming today?â
âTm done. Are you off work?â
âYes. Iâm on my way back.â The man smiled. âI should be able to make it in time for dinner with the two children.â
âRemember to tell them bedtime stories,â Ye Shengge emphasized.
The man seemed to sigh, but he still agreed. âOkay. Iâve already found a kindergarten for them. Iâll send them over next week.â
âBut you still have to tell the bedtime story tonight.â Ye Shengge snorted. âThe main point isnât the story. The main point is that you and I have someone to accompany them.â
âBut I want to be with you more.â The man seemed to laugh. âDid you miss me?â
Ye Shengge blinked. âNo.â
âI donât believe you.â His tone darkened. âTâll give you another chance.â
âNo means no.â
âBut I miss you.â The man seemed to sigh. âI hate being alone.â
Ye Shenggeâs lips curled up involuntarily.
Ye Shengge felt that she was really useless. Her heartstrings were always easily tugged by him. She thought that perhaps he still loved him, but this relationship was not as strong as before. Or perhaps, he just did not know how to express it.
This guess made her feel much better.
âIâve been alone for three years. Youâve only been here for a few days.â Ye Shenggeâs tone became light. âYouâll get used to it.â
âNo, I can never get used to it, and I donât want to get used to it,â the man said in a low voice.
The smile in Ye Shenggeâs eyes deepened. At this moment, a tall and thin figure walked over.
âSister Shengge, who are you talking to?â Su Yao suddenly appeared in front of her and even stuck his head in front of her.
Ye Shengge was shocked. She quickly covered her chest with her phone and glared at him. âWhat are you doing?â
âSister Shengge, I havenât had the chance to talk to you for the entire day.â He smiled. âDid you see the Weibo post I posted yesterday? Everyone said that we look like a couple!â
âWhat couple? Thatâs just a publicity stunt. You believe it?â Ye Shengge blinked. âHurry up and remove your makeup. Donât get in my way.â
âSister Shengge, can I go to your room tonight? I have a few scenes that Iâm not sure about. I want to rehearse with you first.â Su Yao was persistent.
âNo.â Ye Shengge rejected without hesitation. âBased on your experience, Iâm afraid thereâs no drama that can stump you.â
She told Ji Shiting that she liked young boys like Su Yao very much. She just wanted to provoke him and make him jealous, but that did not mean that she was really interested in Su Yao.
Hence, she had to reject such an ambiguous request without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Su Yao missed the main point. His eyes lit up. âSo Sister Shengge, you think so highly of me?â
Ye Shengge was furious.
At this moment, there seemed to be some rustling sounds coming from the phone. Ye Shengge suddenly realized that the call had not ended.
She quickly put the phone to her ear and coughed lightly. âWellâ¦â
âThe man laughed meaningfully. âThis is the young boy you were talking about? Are you sure you like talking to him?â
Ye Shengge felt her ears heating up.
Oh no, he was exposed!
