As she said that, Ye Shengge surveyed Ji Shiting’s face.
He appeared calm, and only his dark eyes were unfathomable.
For a moment, Ye Shengge thought he might want to strangle her.
However, she had to reject him even if he was angry. She couldn’t be so intimate with him anymore, at least till she calmed herself down. Every second with him was too dangerous.
She had been used to being alone since she was young, and her parents had passed away early, so she had never loved anyone, even family or friends. It was because love meant weakness, and she didn’t allow herself to be weak, let alone be dependent on someone.
Even if it was Ji Shiting.
She clenched her fists and said, “Sorry.”
The room suddenly felt cold, and even Lin Qi couldn’t help rubbing her arms.
After some time, Ji Shiting smiled.
“Mm.” He wiped his lips with a tissue. “Forget about it then.”
Ye Shengge couldn’t help feeling relieved. She smiled and said, “Are you going back now?”
Ji Shiting curled his lips, walked to her side and put his right hand into her hair.
“You asked me to trust you.” His voice was emotionless. “What about you? Do you trust me enough?”
Ye Shengge was rendered speechless.
Ji Shiting smiled sardonically, turned around and walked past Lin Qi.
Lin Qi didn’t even dare to take a deep breath. When the man walked to the door, she stuck her head out and saw that there were a few bodyguards outside. The man left with his bodyguards around him.
She took a deep breath and ran to Ye Shengge, screaming, “Sister Shengge, your sugar daddy is so handsome! And he’s obviously rich and powerful, even more so than Young Master Xiao! Sigh, it’s a pity he has a family… If only he wasn’t married…”
She talked for a long time before she realized that Ye Shengge was in a daze.
“Sister Shengge?” She raised her voice.
“Ah.” Ye Shengge stood up abruptly. “Let’s go. Let’s go to the set.”
…
It was two in the afternoon, and Ye Shengge had already put on her makeup and changed into her costume, but she didn’t have much energy today. Perhaps it was because she had been tortured last night or because of what Ji Shiting had said before he left.
She had always reckoned that she trusted him. But why didn’t she dare to fall in love with him if she trusted him enough? She had been trying to avoid that from the start.
However, her efforts didn’t seem to have any effect. She refused him even at the risk of angering Ji Shiting because… she had basically lost all resistance to him. Perhaps she was just struggling.
Ye Shengge couldn’t help staring at herself in the mirror.
Xu Xiangjie walked in.
“I thought you wouldn’t be able to act this afternoon.” He chuckled. “Was last night… alright?”
Ye Shengge couldn’t help pointing her middle finger at Xu Xiangjie.
It was no wonder he had asked the crew out for dinner last night. It had all been done to give Ji Shiting a chance.
Damn it!
