“No.” Ji Shiting sounded more forceful. “I told you, it’s not convenient for her.”
Xu Shaoqing moved his lips a bit and smiled bitterly, “Okay, Bring her to Xie’s house for dinner some day if possible.”
Ji Shiting curled his lips and didn’t even bother to answer.
Xu Shaoqing’s heart sank. Ever since she married into Xie’s family, she had invited Ji Shiting to visit Xie’s house countless times, but he had never agreed to it.
“Then I’ll be leaving first. Say hi to your wife on my behalf.” Xu Shaoqing sighed, looked at Ji Shiting and left.
Xie Siqi wanted to say something, but seeing how dejected Xu Shaoqing was, she had to suppress her urge.
…
Ji Shiting watched them walk to the elevator before pushing open the door and entering the ward.
However, she saw the silhouette of Ye Shengge jumping onto the bed. She took a deep breath probably from the pain due to moving too quickly, and her exerting too much force on her hurt ankle.
Ji Shiting looked solemn. “Why are you running around?”
“I didn’t…” Ye Shengge pulled the blanket over herself and smiled sheepishly.
The man walked over and lifted the blanket and looked towards her slightly flushed ankle.
Ye Shengge even moved it slightly and said, “It doesn’t hurt. I’m fine.”
“You don’t have to join the cast for filming. Just stay at home for three days,” he said coldly.
“Ah? I’m the lead actress. Progress would be affected if I don’t show up!” Ye Shengge was anxious.
Ji Shiting sneered, “You also know you’re the lead actress.”
“But…”
“If you say anything more, I’ll stop the entire crew for three days,” the man said. He then picked her up and said, “Weren’t you very capable when you fell?”
Ye Shengge found herself speechless.
…
On the way back, Ye Shengge kept glancing at the man beside her.
She could feel that he was in low spirits ever since the encounter with his birth mother.
“What do you want to ask?” Ji Shiting looked at her.
“Um… I don’t have anything to ask.” Ye Shengge thought for a bit and grabbed his shirt. “Don’t be sad.”
“Which one of your eyes saw me being sad?” The man sneered. “Listen, she might contact you, ignore her.”
“But she’s your mother after all…” Ye Shengge said carefully. “Besides, she’s only remarried. It’s not a heinous crime, is it?”
“Just remember what I said,” he interrupted. “Don’t try to be too clever..”
“Okay.” Ye Shengge nodded, but her curiosity had heightened.
Ye Shengge started making wild guesses. It seemed that it wasn’t just the issue of Xu Shaoqing abandoning him and remarrying.
Ji Shiting called someone important when he arrived at Qianfan Villa, so he didn’t get out of the car immediately. Instead, he kept the phone on.
Ye Shengge got out of the car quietly, and Ji Shiting didn’t stop her, seeing that she was fine.
After returning to the villa, Ye Shengge immediately rushed to her room, removed her makeup, took a shower, and changed into her pajamas. She was exhausted after all but the question was… should she sleep in the second bedroom or in the master bedroom?
If she went to the master bedroom, Ji Shiting wouldn’t think she was trying to seduce him, would he?
However, staying in the second bedroom was a slap in the face. When she was in the hospital, she had vowed to be his wife. How could a normal couple sleep in separate rooms?
