Ye Shengge had rushed to the bathroom to look in the mirror after waking up. It was an indescribable feeling.
She had fantasized countless times about how great it would be if the birthmark disappeared one day, but she hadn’t expected it to come true!
Besides, it had been hours since the birthmark disappeared, and she hadn’t felt any changes. She had been mentally prepared, but… the door to her memories was still closed.
She felt both disappointed and relieved.
Ji Shiting looked at her smooth face and his eyes dimmed.
“Yes,” he said hoarsely. “You look better.”
Ye Shengge asked, “Are you… not the least bit tempted?”
The man curled his lips and stroked her face. “I would die if my heart doesn’t move.” (the literal translation of tempted is heart move)
Ye Shengge was livid at such an answer, but she couldn’t say anything.
She mumbled, “You might ignore me today, but I’ll make sure you can’t reach me tomorrow.”
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow and said, “What are you mumbling about?”
“Nothing.” She blushed. “I’m hungry.”
Ye Shengge was looking for a topic at the dining table.
Ji Shiting smiled back, even though he only replied with one or two words each time.
After dinner, Ji Shiting looked at her and said, “I’ll go to the study to handle some work. Rest early, okay?”
“Okay.” Ye Shengge smiled at him. “Go ahead. I still want dessert.”
The woman’s bright smile softened Ji Shiting’s heart. He pinched her face and nodded.
However, he didn’t notice that the woman’s smile disappeared the moment he turned around.
Ye Shengge looked at the food in her bowl and lost her appetite.
The man’s attitude didn’t seem to have changed, but he was so distracted when he was talking to her. Women in love were very sensitive. She knew very well that he was thinking about something else at that time, even though he seemed very focused.
If he wasn’t even interested in talking to her, it meant that… he wasn’t interested in her anymore.
Ye Shengge didn’t want her imagination to run wild, but she had just confessed to him, and he hadn’t given her any response. Forget it. She hadn’t been looking forward to it anyway.
However, he wouldn’t immediately lose interest in her after she confessed to him, would he?
It wasn’t impossible. After all, hadn’t he already already caught his prey, hadn’t he? And this prey had foolishly said she wanted him to fall in love with her… Did he find her ridiculous?
Ye Shengge clenched her chopsticks, feeling suffocated.
Sister Xiu served the desserts and smiled, “Young Madam, the dessert chef made your favorite tiramisu today.”
Ye Shengge forced a smile and said, “Eat it, Sister Xiu. I don’t have any appetite.”
She then put down her chopsticks and returned to her room.
…
Ji Shiting immediately called Gu Yimo after returning to the study.
“Ye Wenhua said she’s changed a lot.” Ji Shiting put one hand on the desk and said. “What happened?”
“What he means is that sister-in-law has been a bit moody ever since,” Gu Yimo explained. “For example, sometimes she gets very bad-tempered, which made Ye Haocheng and his wife very upset.”
It seemed that the change in Shengge’s personality was the cause of Ye Haocheng and his wife’s determination to make her lose her memory. That matched what Jun Hua had said.
