Ye Shengge bit her lower lip and smiled bitterly. “No matter what, you just can’t bear to let Tang Ranran go. You know that I’ll be happy if you fire her, but you’re still unwilling to do so.”
Ji Shiting took a deep breath. He stared at her for a long time before saying tersely, “If it is a reasonable request, I will try my best to satisfy you.”
“So, it’s unreasonable for me to ask you to fire a potential third wheel.” Ye Shengge laughed self-mockingly. “I understand. Let go of me.”
Ji Shiting looked at her sad and self-deprecating eyes. The suffocating feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger, making him feel overwhelmed.
He did not want to see such an expression on her face.
Hence, not only did he not let go of her, he even tightened his grip. “If firing her can solve the problem between us, I will definitely not hesitate. Shengge, you know that you are only venting your anger on me.”
Ye Shengge bit her lip.
Yes, their problems had nothing to do with Tang Ranran or anyone else.
However, this did not mean that he had any reason to keep an evil woman by his side. Ultimately, he still did not believe her. He felt that she was being unreasonable.
pAn,D a-n0ve1,c-o-m Ye Shengge suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said hoarsely, “I miss Jinchen and Jinqing. I’m going to fetch them home.”
“Grandpa called just now. He has already taken the two kids back,” Ji Shiting said in a low voice. “But Grandpa will send them to Qianfan Villa. You will see them when you get home. Don’t worry.”
“Then I’ll go home.”
“You’ve got a couple of e-mails to take care of. Give me half an hour and we’ll go back together,” the man said with no room for argument. He set her down on the couch. “You can sit here and eat something, huh?”
Ye Shengge’s gaze landed on the empty coffee table and she said in a disdainful tone, “You don’t have anything for me to eat here.”
The man laughed at her tone. He stood. “We’ll have it soon.”
Ji Shiting walked to the office desk and gave an internal call. Soon, Tang Ranran entered with a tray in her hands.
She walked straight to the sofa and placed the tray of desserts and black tea on the coffee table. She said softly, “Madam, this is the tiramisu and black tea that the CEO instructed me to buy. It’s your favorite combination.”
She lowered her eyes and spoke humbly without any provocation or disdain.
Ye Shengge sneered in her heart. This woman really knew how to act. When Ji Shiting was present, she was a responsible and good assistant.
She looked up at the desk. Ji Shiting was so engrossed in his work that he did not notice her.
Hence, she smiled and bent down to pick up the cup of black tea.
Great. It was hot.
Tang Ranran was still in a half-kneeling position, probably waiting for her response, so Ye Shengge poured all the black tea in her hands onto her.
Tang Ranran probably did not expect her sudden attack. She cried out in shock and took a step back, but she accidentally fell to the ground. Her hair and body were dripping with water, making her look extremely disheveled. The back of her hand was already turning red.
Ji Shiting looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing this, he frowned.
“What is it?”
As he spoke, he stood up and strode over to Ye Shengge, grabbing her wrist that was still holding the cup.
