The manâs tone was low and slightly hoarse. He looked serious but was actually teasing her.
Ye Shenggeâs eyes flashed. She did not take the glass of water but shook her wrist at him. âLook, this is the watch you gave me a few days ago.â
Ye Shengge did not have the habit of wearing a watch, but the design of this wristwatch was simple and elegant. It suited her taste very well. She was originally lamenting that this manâs taste seemed to be getting better, but now.
She suppressed the self-mockery in her heart, but the smile on her face was even sweeter.
Ji Shiting grabbed her wrist and rubbed it gently. His eyes became fiery.
âIt suits you.â
He placed the cup on the table and brought her into his arms to hold her waist. He cupped her face with one hand and pressed his lips against hers.
But Ye Shengge turned her face to the side, causing his kiss to miss.
Ji Shiting held her chin and was a little displeased. âWhat now?â
Ye Shengge bit her lip and suddenly found it funny.
She raised her right hand, allowing the watch to take over his line of sight. Then, she smiled and said, âShiting, Iâm very curious. Youâre so busy every day. Where did you find the time to pick a gift for me?â
The manâs brow twitched, but he didnât answer for a moment.
âSince you donât dare to say it, you obviously know that I wonât like this answer.â Ye Shengge smiled. âI originally thought that at least you were the one who picked the gift for me. After all, Sun Ye has limited taste in this area⦠So itâs all thanks to you, this new female assistant. I was wondering why alln/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
the clothes and accessories youâve given me recently donât suit me.â
Ji Shiting pinched her waist and said in a low voice with a hint of coaxing, âIâm worried that you wont like the gift I picked. Tang Ranran is a woman too. I think she knows your preferences better than meâ¦â
Ye Shengge bit her lower lip hard and felt that she was extremely ridiculous.
She thought that this man was slowly getting better. He cared more and more about her and was more considerate towards her. However, reality proved that alll of this was just her illusion.
âJi Shiting, since when did I not like the gifts you gave me?â Ye Shenggeâs face turned red. Her left hand trembled as she took off her watch and patted his chest. âDo you think thatâs what I lack? If these things are not given out of sincerity, I would rather you not give them to me!â
âWhat she wanted was a heart that was always on her mind, not the gift itself.
For example, when he saw a flower on the way home from work, he felt that she would definitely like it, so he wanted to buy it for her.
Or perhaps, when he chanced upon a pair of earrings that he thought that she would look good wearing while he was on a business trip, he thought that she would look good wearing them, so he bought them for her.
Ifhe didnât have that intention, what was the point of him giving her more gifts? She didnât lack money or a stylist team. If he had given this task to Sun Ye, it would have been fine, but he couldnât do so because of Tang Ranran, that female assistant with an ulterior motive. The gifts that this woman had
chosen were to Ye Shenggeâs liking, which meant that she had already secretly researched her preferences. She clearly⦠came prepared!
The more Ye Shengge thought about it, the angrier she got. In her anger, the sadness in her heart surged up uncontrollably, making her blush even more.
Ji Shitingâs face turned sullen as well. He grabbed her wrist tightly as if he was trying to suppress his anger. âShengge, I just want you to be happy.â
