“I’ll see it another time.” Xie Siqi said after taking a deep breath to calm herself down.
“Alright then.” Ye Shengge added. “Shiting and I love taking walks in the garden. There was once when he almost… Ahh, let’s not talk about it anymore. We should head back!”
Ye Shengge stopped when she saw Xie Siqi’s stiff and pale face. She smiled and held Xie Siqi’s arm, “Sister, I might be rambling a little too much. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Of course not.” Xie Siqi said.
Ye Shengge felt l that Xie Siqi might strangle her at any moment.
Xu Shaoqing and Ji Shiting had finished their chat in the living room.
“Thank you so much, Shiting.” Xu Shaoqing smiled. “I couldn’t help you much, yet I still have to trouble you.”
“It’s nothing.” Ji Shiting still sounded calm. “I have something to attend to, so I can’t ask you two to stay.”
Xu Shaoqing appeared disappointed. She gazed at the flow and smiled sadly. “Of course. I’ll head back with Siqi now.”
Xie Siqi grabbed Ye Shengge’s arm and said, “Mom, Shiting… agreed?”
“Mm.” Xu Shaoqing smiled and nodded.
Xie Siqi immediately looked towards Ji Shiting and said, “Thank you so much, Shiting.”
Ji Shiting nodded and grabbed Ye Shengge’s hand.
“Why didn’t you put on more clothes when you were out?” He frowned. “It’s only been a few minutes, yet your hands are already so cold.”
Ye Shengge smiled, put her hands under his clothes and hugged him. “Then you should warm me up.”
She blinked several times at Xie Siqi as she said that.
Xie Siqi’s face was ashen, and her teeth were nearly chattering.
Ye Shengge didn’t seem to notice her anger. She smiled at her and said goodbye to Xu Shaoqing, “Bye, auntie.”
“Goodbye.” Xu Shaoqing watched them leaning against each other and felt relieved yet conflicted.
Xie Siqi turned her gaze away and tried to look elegant again.
“Let’s go, mom.” She forced a weak smile.
Ye Shengge heaved a sigh of relief after they left.
Ji Shiting curled his lips and pinched her chin. “What did you guys talk about?”
He imagined that Xie Siqi would say some unnecessary stuff to Ye Shengge and he was prepared to comfort her after they left.
He never expected this woman to have such a smug expression.
Ye Shengge’s eyes even seemed to be glowing.
She had used all her acting abilities on, and hence had been able to toy with her ease. However, she couldn’t help blushing as she recalled what she had said.
“Nothing much. Just some casual girl talk.” She smiled and pulled her hands away.
Ji Shiting grabbed her hands and smiled, “Xie Siqi has never lost her composure in front of anyone. What did you say to her?”
Ye Shengge stole a glance at him and said, “I think she’s very interested in the position of Mrs. Ji.”
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow. “So?”
“It looks like you know how she feels about you.” Ye Shengge blinked. “She’s beautiful, comes from a good family, and likes you. She should be the perfect wife for you. Why didn’t you consider her before?”
