The man had slender fingers and moved calmly. Even such an unsightly chore seemed pleasing to the eyes when performed by him.
Ye Shengge smiled while gazing at him, feeling satisfied.
She hadn’t expected that Ji Shiting would do such a thing for her one day. She still remembered feeling surprised and flattered when he had merely scooped her a bowl of soup previously.
Now… Ye Shengge wouldn’t feel burdened even if he fed her personally, let alone peeling prawns.
However, Ji Shiting wasn’t skilled at peeling the prawns, which showed that he rarely peeled prawns. Ye Shengge couldn’t help but look up and meet his eyes.
“Eat it.” Ji Shiting looked at her threateningly.
She stuck out her tongue and put the peeled prawn into her mouth.
Ji Shiting smiled and asked, “Is it good?”
She nodded, her cheeks still puffed.
Grandpa Ji couldn’t help but be amused by their interaction. ‘This kid really dotes on his wife.’
Grandpa Ji couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional as he thought about his late wife and son. However, he pulled himself together when he thought about his great-grandchild who would be born in the near future.
Ji Shiting had almost finished peeling the entire plate of prawns.
Ye Shengge didn’t dare let him down. She ate it all without feeling queasy at all.
Ji Shiting was very satisfied.
After dinner, Grandpa Ji and Ji Shiting returned to the study room. Ye Shengge stayed in the living room to let her food digest while she chatted with Sister Xiu and the others.
“Young Madam, I’m so happy!” Sister Xiu handed her a cup of fruit tea. “You don’t even know what Young Master’s life was like without you.”
Ye Shengge took the tea and was stunned to hear her words.
“Although Young Master didn’t like to talk much in the past, he was still popular. Of course, Young Master was the most humane when you were around, so after you left, sigh…” Sister Xiu said sadly. “He’s been on business trips most of the time. It’s rare for him to stay in Yang City, and he doesn’t like to come hoe. He either sleeps in the hotel or in the office. I know that he doesn’t want to be reminded of the unhappy events.”
Ye Shengge bit her lips, feeling suffocated.
Ji Shiting had said that he needed her more than she needed him, and she had only realized it now.
“But Young Madam, Young Master has been coming home more often since you returned to Yang City, and he doesn’t seem as cold as before,” Sister Xiu said. “I was confused at first, but now… It looks like Young Master knew you were probably pregnant.”
Ye Shengge blushed after hearing that.
She was chatting happily with Sister Xiu when an unexpected guest arrived at the villa.
Xu Shaoqing.
Ye Shengge met her eyes when the servant brought her in. She saw hatred in Xu Shaoqing’s eyes.
It seemed that Xu Shaoqing was certain that she had killed Xie Siqi.
Ye Shengge sighed. It seemed that her relationship with her mother-in-law was doomed. Fortunately, Ji Shiting was definitely on her side.
Sister Xiu could tell that Xu Shaoqing was upset, so she stood in front of Ye Shengge.
“Where’s Shiting?” Xu Shaoqing lifted her chin coldly.
“He’s in the study upstairs with Grandpa.” Ye Shengge raised an eyebrow. “What’s the matter?”
“I’ve underestimated you.” Xu Shaoqing glanced at her belly. “What tricks did you resort to to get pregnant with Shiting’s child?”
