The two kids had woken up at some point and were standing at the bathroom door, looking at them curiously.
At this moment, the man’s hand was under her skirt.
Ye Shengge was scared out of her wits. She pushed the man in front of her with all her might and said reluctantly, “Jinchen, Jinqing… you… you’re awake.”
Hearing her words, Ji Shiting froze. His Adam’s apple bobbed a few times before he turned to look at the two children.
“Dad, Mom, what are you doing?” Jinchen asked innocently.
Jinqing was still rubbing her eyes. It seemed that she wasn’t fully awake yet.
“Mom and Dad are busy. Jinchen, take your sister outside first, okay?” Ji Shiting tried to suppress the desire in his voice and said as calmly as possible.
Ye Shengge glared at him but did not dare to move.
Fortunately, the little fellow didn’t suspect anything. He nodded and held Jinqing’s hand. “Jinqing, let’s go find Aunt Xiu.”
The two of them turned around and left.
Ye Shengge blushed and glared at the man in front of her. “I have nothing to do with you! Let go of me!”
p AndD nOve1.cO,m “Then promise me you’ll keep your distance from other men.” His dark eyes contained a hint of suppressed discontent. “Don’t say another word about having an affair or anything like that. This kind of joke isn’t funny.”
“I won’t promise you anything.” Ye Shengge’s lips curled up. “If I’m unhappy, I can do anything.”
If saying that would make him care more about her, Ye Shengge did not mind adding to his burden.
Ji Shiting frowned and said powerlessly, “Must you agitate me like this?”
“Will my actions agitate you?” Ye Shengge suddenly smiled. “Don’t worry, I won’t divorce you. No matter what, I’m your good wife.”
Ji Shiting pursed his lips and looked at her deeply for a long time.
Ye Shengge looked at him calmly.
For a moment, she wished she could see some pain in his eyes. Or he could tell her that his heart would ache at the thought of her with another man.
But there wasn’t. The man’s dark eyes were filled with helplessness mixed with anger.
Ye Shengge laughed self-deprecatingly and said hoarsely, “Let go of me.”
Ji Shiting seemed to let out a long breath. He closed his eyes and pressed his thin lips on her forehead.
The suffocating feeling in his heart attacked him again, making him abnormally anxious. The man instinctively felt that he shouldn’t let this matter go so easily, but he didn’t know what to say to satisfy her.
Ye Shengge’s hand was still on his chest.
She could feel the man’s impatience. He might never understand why she insisted on having a fight with him, even though everything seemed fine to them now.
“Never mind. I’m not going to throw a tantrum with you.” She smiled, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek. “Just put me down,” she whispered.
Startled, Ji Shiting opened his eyes and looked at her.
The woman smiled and the sadness and self-mockery in her eyes finally disappeared.
He heaved a sigh of relief and said in a hoarse voice, “Do you still want to threaten me with cheating?”
“It’s not a threat. I’m just stating a fact.” Ye Shengge shook her head. “However, if that day really comes, it means that I’ve decided to separate from you.”
This answer made the man’s eyes even colder.
“You won’t get the chance,” he said with a straight face.
Ye Shengge did not say anything but suddenly smiled.
He seemed to have said this more than once.
