“Does that mean you need someone who looks better than Jiang Yu?” Ji Shiting concluded.
“Of course, otherwise I’ll lose face!” Jing Tong said. “At least he’ll know that I can do without him!”
“But he knows my relationship with Shengge. If you marry me, he’ll only think you’re pitiful.” Ji Shiting smiled. “Do you really need his sympathy?”
Jing Tong was dazed for a bit, then he smiled bitterly and said, “You’re overestimating him. Why would that man be sympathetic?”
“So you don’t really want to marry me,” Ji Shiting said. “You don’t mind my relationship with Shengge at all.”
“I don’t mind. Of course I don’t mind.” She immediately waved her hands. “I don’t want to destroy you guys, but I don’t have a better candidate. I’m too familiar with the second-generation heirs in the capital. I don’t want to be familiar with them. Most importantly, marrying them will cause endless trouble. But you’re different. You have Ye Shengge, and you definitely won’t be willing to tie me up for too long. So, as long as those people don’t dare laugh at me in a year or so, we’ll get a divorce!”
Ji Shiting thought for a bit and smiled, “It looks like you want to marry me to save your face.”
Jing Tong scratched his head and said, “Something like that.”
She had pursued Jiang Yu for many years, but she hadn’t made any progress. Not only did Jiang Yu not like her, but he also hated her.
She was disappointed, but she also knew that if she gave up, she would become a laughing stock in the industry, so she could only choose another marriage partner who wasn’t worse than Jiang Yu to save her face.
“If that’s the case, perhaps we can cooperate.” Ji Shiting put his right hand on his knees. “However, there’s a better way to achieve your goal.”
Jing Tong’s eyes widened.
…
Jiang Yu had been staying in a hotel ever since he arrived in Yang City.
He had just returned from the scene and was about to return to the hotel to take a shower, but he saw a figure at the door that he couldn’t avoid.
The girl squatted at the door, looking bored.
He frowned and said, “Why are you here?”
She sounded impatient.
Jing Tong looked up and saw the man’s cold face. She smiled and said, “Jiang Yu, you’re finally back. I’m here for you!”
“Are you done?” Jiang Yu looked more upset.
He rarely said anything bad, let alone to the opposite sex. However, the woman in front of him had challenged his bottom line many times, and he couldn’t take it anymore.
Jing Tong’s smile widened upon seeing how patient the man was.
She felt that she was probably sick. At first, she would always be hurt by his appearance, but as time passed, she would feel sick.
I just like how you have to put up with me even though you’re sick of me.
She stood up slowly and moved aside. “Open the door. It’s getting late, and I’m sleepy.”
Which meant she was staying with him tonight.
Jiang Yu tightened his grip on the room card and looked at the woman’s face. “Are you sick, Jingtong?”
“I’m afraid to sleep alone,” Jing Tong said matter-of-factly. “Don’t worry. I won’t take advantage of you.”
