Perhaps he was afraid that she would be angry, but the man sounded anxious.
Both of them were stunned.
Ji Shiting suddenly realized that these words were not that difficult to say.
Ye Shengge blinked and turned around to hug him. She rubbed her face against his chest as if she was trying to absorb some kind of energy from him.
Ji Shiting could not help but hug her tightly and repeated, “I love you.”
Every word was clear.
These words were more like an oath than a confession.
Ye Shengge suddenly smiled through her tears. “Okay.”
The day this man had just returned, she had asked him this question before. How did he answer her back then?
Of course he loved her, because she was his wife.
Compared to back then, he had improved.
Ye Shengge tried to find joy in her misery, but she still buried her face deeply into his chest. At this moment, she would rather believe that this man had said those words from the bottom of his heart, so she didn’t even want to look up at his expression. She was afraid that her dream would soon shatter again.
Ji Shiting lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.
When he came out of the shower, he only casually put on a bathrobe. The woman had not been in his embrace for long before she opened his collar. Thus, her breathing and the soft touch of her cheek were exceptionally clear and imprinted on his chest. It was as if his chest was on fire, causing his breathing to gradually become chaotic.
He finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and pulled her face out of his embrace.
He stared at her deeply. “Shouldn’t you give me a response?”
Ye Shengge had been rubbing herself against him for a while now, and it made her feel more relaxed. She looked up at him, the corners of her eyes slightly moist.
“What kind of response?” Her tone was lazy, too.
Ji Shiting hooked her chin and kissed her red lips for a while before letting go. “Like this.”
“Oh, you want a reward…” She suddenly smiled and placed her soft hand on his chest, slowly moving down. “Shouldn’t you be telling me these three words? Are you just trying to coax me?”
Ji Shiting took her hand and took a deep breath. “Of course not. I meant what I said.”
With that, he looked at her intently.
How does it feel to love someone?
He used to know. He remembered how this woman had once given him heart palpitations and how she had brought him joy and anger.
It was just that it was very difficult for him to feel that kind of throbbing now.
Even so, he was certain of one thing: he wanted her to be happy.
It was a pity that he had lost the ability to make her happy. That was why he always failed to do it well and disappointed her time and time again.
However, he was still figuring it out. Love was also an ability. Since it was an ability, it could be obtained through learning.
Ji Shiting firmly believed that.
Ye Shengge and him looked at each other in a daze.
After a while, she finally smiled.
“If you want a reward, that’s not enough.” She thought for a while and suddenly said in a sweet voice, “Read me a few poems.”
The woman’s soft voice made him even more agitated.
Ji Shiting felt that he had made a huge mistake. Since he was destined not to be able to do anything tonight, he should not have hugged her like this. However, he could not bear to let go of her. He could only drink poison to quench his thirst and press his hot body against hers..
