When Ye Shengge walked out of the bedroom, she saw Ji Shiting standing in the hallway with his phone in his hand.
He looked at her with a deep and mysterious gaze.
Ye Shenggeâs heart sank. She walked closer to him and asked, âWhere are the two kids?â
âIâve sent them to kindergarten. Go pick them up tonight, okay?â The man pushed a strand of hair behind her head.
His burning fingers made Ye Shenggeâs heart skip a beat.
âUm, did you see the scandal online?â she mumbled.
âOh, are you saying my wife was slandered, and two unrelated men showed up to memorize her character while I wasnât allowed to speak?â He raised an eyebrow and said calmly.
Ye Shengge felt guilty.
She grabbed his waist and said, âActually, I donât have to hide it, but itâs not the right timeâ¦â
âThen why did you hide it in the first place?â The man asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBecauseâ¦â Ye Shengge bit her lips. âIâm in this industry, and I have to pay the price for being criticized, but I donât want others to criticize youâ¦â
Ji Shiting stroked her hair and smiled, âCan I take it that youâre trying to protect me?â
Ye Shengge nodded profusely.
The man said, âIn that case, you should understand that I canât stand others criticizing you.â
Ye Shengge was dazed. âI thought you didnât read the entertainment newsâ¦â
âHow could I not know about you?â His voice became hoarse. âI also hope you can do what you like without being affected by these rumors.â
âI donât care at all.â Ye Shengge smiled. âReally, they canât affect me. Besides, the public opinion has turned to me, so you donât have to worry.â
âShould I thank Xiao Ruilang?â His eyes dimmed.
âNo need. Itâs my fault for being heartless. âSearch our n?wno?el.?rgâI kicked him away after using him and didnât even say thank you,â Ye Shengge said solemnly.
The man finally smiled and hugged her tightly. âIâll get rid of the culprit first.â
...
Two days later.
It was almost evening, and the staff in the office building walked out one after another. They either went home after work or went to the building opposite for dinner.
Jing Tong was wondering whether she should eat rice or KFC when she heard a seductive female voice, âTong Tong!â
Jing Tong was shocked. She turned around and said, âTang Ranran? Why are you here?â
She had known Tang Ranran for many years, but they werenât on good terms. After Jing Zhiyuanâs accident, she had distanced herself from all her friends, including Tang Ranran.
âI missed you, so I came to see you.â Tang Ranran smiled and walked to her. âLetâs go. Iâve reserved a seat at Lin Yeâs house. You havenât had it in a long time, have you?â
Jing Tong knew that it was useless for Tang Ranran to reject her, so she could only agree.
Ten minutes later, they sat down in a quiet room. Tang Ranran looked at her and smiled. âYou finally look like a woman. I almost didnât recognize you just now.â
Jing Tong said coldly, âWhatâs the matter?â
âAre you still in contact with Jiang Yu?â Tang Ranran asked with a smile.
