No wonder Ling Yutong had told her this story. She was implying that Ye Shengge, the ‘male lead’s wife’ was a substitute and it would be best for her to leave so that she could have her ‘true love’ with the male lead.
Besides, Ye Shengge was somewhat similar to Ling Yutong, so Ling Yutong believed that Ji Shiting still loved her.
However, Ye Shengge was slow to react and didn’t understand what she was implying. Thus, Ling Yutong sent her photos of her engagement with Ji Shiting, hoping that she would be tactful.
However, Ye Shengge still didn’t react, so Ling Yutong had asked Yu Shuhang to ensure that Ji Shiting attended the welcome party so that he could tell him everything.
And there was Little Zheng too.
Ye Shengge swallowed hard, and her mind went blank at this thought.
…
There were already big shots at the entrance who greeted him with smiles and shook hands with Mr. Jun. There were also women who welcomed Mr. Jun’s wife and daughter.
Ling Yutong ‘s roamed as she talked with the others.
Ji Shiting looked away and glared at Yu Shuhang. “I’ll settle this with you over a long time.”
Yu Shuhang smiled bitterly and didn’t argue further.
Ji Shiting eyed Ye Shengge.
She was lost in thought.
Ji Shiting frowned, walked to a quiet corner and pinched her face. “Look at me.”
Ye Shengge looked up.
“You should know that I was engaged to Ling Yutong before.” Ji Shiting looked solemn.
Ye Shengge nodded.
“But we broke up a long time ago.” The man continued.
Ye Shengge nodded.
“I didn’t know she was back and in this state. However, I won’t be in contact with her anymore.” He frowned. “I never expected that she would look for you. Don’t believe anything she says.”
Ye Shengge blinked.
“Have you remembered all I’ve said?” The man’s eyes dimmed.
Ye Shengge nodded.
His expression softened a bit, and he hugged her. “Be good. Don’t overthink. Ask me if you have any questions.”
Ye Shengge wrapped her arms around his waist, still looking dazed.
The man was explaining to her.
Moreover, she trusted him.
Even with Long Yutong’s explanation, she was certain that there was nothing going on between them.
But what about Little Zheng? That child might be his son. Ji Shiting didn’t know it was his child yet.
“Shiting…” She decided to speak up.
The man gazed at her.
“Little Zheng… He’s Ling Yutong’s son.” Ye Shengge wetted her lips. “He…”
Ji Shiting immediately realized what she was suspecting.
His face sank, and he flicked her forehead. “I don’t care where that child came from, but it definitely has nothing to do with me.”
“Are you sure?” Ye Shengge’s eyes widened.
“I’m certain.” The man’s face was ashen. He flicked her forehead again. “I’ll break your legs if you dare question me again!”
Ye Shengge breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his waist. “That’s good, that’s good. I wouldn’t know what to do otherwise…”
An ex-girlfriend wasn’t scary, but an ex-girlfriend with his baby would certainly be much more troublesome.
Ji Shiting lips twitched as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, he said, “Believe me.”
Ye Shengge nodded.
…
On the other end, Ling Yutong finally caught sight of Ji Shiting.
However, he… was holding on to that woman.
