His deep eyes stared at Xia Ling with a serious expression.
Xia Ling did not expect that Ji Yi was talking about trust when she thought he would protect Wen Shanshan.
Xia Ling lowered her eyes in the face of Ji Yi’s gaze.
“I’m sorry, I don’t trust you. However, Wen Shanshan does like you. Because of you, she set me up with Gu Xu and wanted us to get a divorce. Ji Yi, do you swear that you don’t like her at all?”
Facing Xia Ling’s questioning, Ji Yi remained calm.
“Shanshan and I grew up together. To me, she’s like a younger sister. When I say I like her, it’s only because I like my younger sister. Only you, my wife, are the ones I like. To me, you’re different from other women.”
Xia Ling: “Really?”
“I never lie.” Ji Yi’s expression was calm.
Seeing him like this, Xia Ling finally smiled.
“Ji Yi, you just said that you like me.”
Ji Yi: “…”
He thought for a moment before coming back to his senses. His deep eyes stared at Xia Ling with a meaningful look.
Xia Ling raised her eyebrows at him, not at all afraid.
After Ji Yi finished eating, Xia Ling went to pay the bill.
Ji Yi was busy the whole afternoon. Xia Ling chatted and laughed with him and also did some serious work.
There was homework assigned by the department, so she finished it.
She followed Ji Yi back to the villa.
Ji Yi was very busy during the day. He did everything during work hours and came back at night with her.

The next day, when Xia Ling woke up, Ji Yi had already gone to work.
At eleven o’clock, she had breakfast.
She felt as if she had forgotten something, but her heart felt empty. Could it be that when she woke up, Ji Yi was not by her side?

Xia Ling slowly ate her nutritious breakfast.
On the other side, Ji Yi called her as soon as she finished eating.
“You’re awake?” On the other side of the phone, his smiling voice was still gentle.
When she woke up and did not see him, her empty and angry mood seemed to have been calmed by his gentleness.
Xia Ling also knew that this was just her small temper. He was the president, and he could not ask for leave just like the others.
