Ye Shengge then hung up the phone, stopping Mu Yanhuai from yelling.
She suddenly felt relieved, as if a huge weight had been lifted. However, she couldnât help feeling disappointed.
Her efforts in the past three years were all in vain.
She tried to suppress her complex emotions and raise her spirits.
âIâve broken off the engagement.â Ye Shengge looked imploringly at the man opposite her. âIâll have nothing to do with him from now on... Iâll take away all of Star Brillianceâs artists and connections and heâll be the only one left alone...â
âOkay,â Ji Shiting answered.
She didnât know whether it was Ye Shenggeâs imagination, but she could hear the gentleness in his voice.
âYouâre such a nice guy, Mr. Ji.â Ye Shengge looked at him in a daze.
Ji Shiting stared at the womanâs blushing face and felt his breathing tighten.
âDo you only have this much alcohol tolerance?â
âWho said that? I have a very high tolerance,â Ye Shengge said. She filled her glass with red wine and gulped it down.
She wasnât satisfied yet, so she drank more than half of the wine.
âGood wine!â She slapped the desk and stood up, but the alcohol hit her, and everything before her eyes started to sway.
Ji Shiting had a solemn expression. He walked to her side, picked up the woman and put her on his lap.
âWhy, do you still feel a little reluctant?â He breathed into her ears.
How dare she be sad about that man?
âNo, itâs not that.â Ye Shengge said. âItâs just... heâs been let of too easily... Without me, Star Brilliance wouldnât exist.â
âMhm,â Ji Shiting said. âHeâll pay.â
âYes.â Ye Shengge nodded. âI was so silly before.â
âYouâre silly.â Ji Shiting curled his lips and lifted her chin. âWhat bad taste you had.â
âBut... but Mu Yanhuai used to dislike me,â she said, sounding aggrieved.
Ji Shiting recalled what he had heard outside the room, and his face sank.
Had she been despised all these years?
It must have been hard to endure it all this time.
Feeling sorry for her, he lifted her chin and said, âThey donât have the right to judge you.â
âUm... If only I could get rid of the birthmark.â Ye Shengge suddenly smiled. âIâve found a way.â
âReally?â Ji Shiting remained calm. âWhat way?â
âNo... I canât say it.â She stuck her tongue out. âI canât tell Ji Shiting... But I reckon he mustâve figured it out... That man is so hard to read...ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hard to read.
Ji Shiting watched her alcohol tainted lips.
He couldnât help himself from swallowing.
Ye Shengge blinked, not realizing what had happened.
She didnât stop struggling until the man stuck his tongue in.
âNo, no...â She pushed him away in gasps.
Ji Shiting snorted. âWhy?â
âBecause...â She shook her head, looking more focused now. âAm... am I dreaming?â
âYes, itâs just a dream.â The man chuckled and kissed her again.
