Ye Ji came out after changing. The clothes fit him perfectly.
He stood up straight. The sleeves were folded back slightly, revealing his fair wrists.
He smiled slightly. His gaze was intense and deep.
If he was given a stage, he could start a concert immediately.
He combed his hair and posed at Ming Shu.
âDarling, what do you think? Am I handsome?â
âUgly.â
âYou have a unique taste.â
Ming Shu thought about it for a moment. âI must be blind.â
â...â
Ye Ji walked toward Ming Shu. He had a white card in his hand. âDarling, I will pass this to you. Please keep it properly.â
Ming Shu looked at him.
Even couples would not pass this card to each other.
He was giving it to her?
Ye Ji smiled. âThis is my life.â
Ming Shu looked at the card. His finger blocked his surname so she could only see the word âJi.â
The remaining lifespanâ1 year 17 days.
Ming Shuâs heart jumped.
Why was there so little time left?
âYou...â
Ye Ji spoke before Ming Shu could finish her sentence. âI donât have much time left. Can you treat me better? Why donât we kiss first?â
Ming Shu: â...â Let me slap you!
Ming Shu took the card and confirmed that she saw the correct time.
The little demon gave this to her so easily... was he trying to make her pity him?
Based on what he did... it was possible.
She couldnât afford to provoke him.
âDidnât you snatch someoneâs lifespan yesterday?â
âYes. Darling, I didnât snatch his life. He owed me. Iâm just taking whatâs mine.â Ye Ji blinked. He said in a casual tone, âHowever, it doesnât affect me much. Maybe itâs because Iâm a special person. If not, I would not have met my darling.â
Ming Shu: â...â Did the little demon unlock a honeyed words ability?
âWhy is it of no use?â
âI donât know.â Ye Ji pretended to clutch his chest. âDarling, are you really not going to kiss me? I only have a little over one year left. My heart hurts...â
Ming Shu frowned. âCome to Du Ji with me.â
Ming Shu changed her shoe. Ye Ji didnât move.
âDarling, I will leave after you kiss me.â
Ming Shu: â...â
Hitting him is a good idea!
Ming Shu crooked her finger at him. Ye Ji came over obediently.
Ming Shu pressed his head. âIf you dare to take advantage of me again, Iâll hit you.â
Ye Ji shook his head. He looked hurt. âYou are so heartless.â
Ming Shu: â...â
Ming Shu moved her hand and hooked it around his neck. She leaned over and kissed him.
Ye Ji immediately smiled brightly. âDarling...â
âShut up and move.â
âYes, darling.â
...
Assistant He was waiting downstairs. When he saw Ming Shu coming down with an unfamiliar man, he knew that his guess was correct. There was something happening.
But...
This man is a little too handsome.
Why is he calling Young Miss darling?
âYoung Miss, this is...â How should I address him?â
âIgnore him.â Ming Shu entered the car.
âOh...â
Assistant He glanced at Ye Ji. Ye Ji followed Ming Shu into the car. He ignored Assistant He.
Assistant He: â...â
It took about ten minutes to go from Ming Shuâs house to Du Ji. Along the journey, Assistant He heard Ye Ji calling Ming Shu âdarlingâ more than ten times.
Assistant He looked at the floor.
Scary.
Where did Young Miss get this pretty boy from?
The workers were all curious when they saw Ming Shu bringing an extremely handsome man to work. They started gossiping.
âAssistant He, who is the person who came with Young Miss?â
âYoung Miss has a boyfriend?â
âHeâs so handsome. Whatâs his name?â
Assistant He didnât know anything. Young Miss didnât tell him anything about the man at all.
âJust focus on your work and stop gossiping.â Assistant He kept a stern countenance. âIâll tell you all if I get any news.â
The workers give Assistant He a thumbs up.
As expected of their Assistant He.
âAssistant He, are you trying to become a womanâs friend?â
Ming Shuâs voice came from the office.
Assistant He coughed and walked into the office.
Ye Ji sat at Ming Shuâs seat and swung around as he scanned the room.
This person...
Was not polite at all!
Ming Shu stood in front of the office table and searched through the documents.
âYoung Miss...â
Ming Shu asked Assistant He to take Du Jiâs lifespan storage card over. Assistant He was puzzled, but Ming Shu didnât plan to explain herself.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Du Jiâs lifespan storage card was slightly different from a normal lifespan card. There was no name or highest age on it. It only showed the remaining lifespan.
The Host didnât know where this card came from. Ever since she could remember, this card was at Du Ji.
It was said that the other organizations had such cards too, but Du Ji had more of them.
These cards could only be used to store lifespan. They were like... banks.
Ming Shu asked Assistant He to leave.
She took the two cards and placed them in front of Ye Ji.
âDarling?â
âThere are 200 years of lifespan left in this card. Try it.â
Ye Ji smiled. âDarling cares for me. Let me kiss you to express my gratitude...â
Ming Shu looked at him silently.
âFine, Iâll take it.â Ye Ji sighed helplessly. âHowever, this is useless to me. Itâll be a waste if you give it to me. I canât let you waste your resources on me.â
âWhy is it useless?â
âErm...â Ye Ji looked at the cards on the table. He turned and looked at Ming Shu. âThis lifespan will not increase.â
âWhy?â
Ye Ji shrugged. âI canât remember.â
There was only one reason if his lifespan couldnât increaseâhe tried to snatch a lifespan that was longer than his highest age so his current age got halved and he would never be able to take other peopleâs lifespan again.
Ming Shu took over Ye Jiâs lifespan card and examined it carefully. No... this was not right. If that were the case, the card would change to beige color.
However, this card didnât.
Later, Ming Shu realized that Ye Ji couldnât remember his name, either. He only knew he was called Ye Ji because he saw his lifespan card.
He had forgotten where he came from and what he wanted to do.
âDarling, I didnât expect you to care so much about me. I have nothing to repay you. I can only repay you withmy body.â
Ye Ji suddenly hugged Ming Shuâs waist. He looked up at Ming Shu. âDarling, kiss.â
Ming Shu wanted to slap his head.
Kiss your head!
âYoung Miss, the West District...â Assistant He noticed that the office door was not closed so he came in directly. He encountered this scene.
He turned around quickly. âYoung Miss, I didnât see anything. Please continue.â
Assistant He walked out hastily. He closed the door along the way.
The Venetian blinds might have been pulled down by the cleaner. At that moment, the room became a safe place.
