The pain wasn’t unfamiliar, but it still hurt him.
Ji Shiting stared at her pale face, which was stained with tears that were flowing freely. Her Adam’s apple bobbed too.
‘Why has she become like this? Why did I make her become like this?’
He suddenly understood why she had insisted on firing Tang Ranran.
“I asked her to leave,” the man said hoarsely. “You won’t see her in the office anymore starting tomorrow.”
Ye Shengge was stunned. She hadn’t expected him to give in.
“You… burp!”
She started to choke, probably because she was crying and yelling at him. Her pale face turned red because of that, making her look comical and pitiful.
Ji Shiting’s heart ached even more. He hugged her and stroked her back. “Are you still crying?”
Ye Shengge could hear the sarcasm in his voice, but she couldn’t say anything. She punched his shoulder, but she couldn’t control her biological instincts. She still choked for a while before calming down.
“Are… Are you serious?” She sniffed, and her voice was hoarse but calm.
“I’ll get her to leave immediately.” Ji Shiting hugged her tighter. “Don’t be mad, okay?”
Ye Shengge bit her lips, but she wasn’t happy or touched.
“You don’t have to force yourself since her job is so important.” She rubbed the remaining tears on his shirt. “I know you don’t have any other intentions for her.”
That man didn’t treat her that well, let alone other women. Perhaps she couldn’t trust his loyalty, but she still trusted his rationality. He definitely wanted to remain status quo.
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow and said, “Then why did you insist that I fire her?”
Ye Shengge said expressionlessly, “There’s no reason. I just don’t like her.”
Tang Ranran obviously had other intentions, but he didn’t believe her judgment and insisted that she was being unreasonable.
He would only give in after she made a scene. Ye Shengge felt more bitter at that thought.
“That’s enough reason,” the man agreed. “Since you hate her, it means she’s no longer suitable to be my assistant.”
Ye Shengge hugged him tighter, but she still didn’t take his words to heart.
Ji Shiting relaxed a bit because of her action.
“Sorry,” he said hoarsely. “I’ll agree to whatever request you make in the future.”
Ye Shengge looked up and said, “Will you agree to divorce and let me have custody of the two kids?”
“No.” The man frowned. “Anything except that!”

Ji Shiting pursed his lips. He knew that he had disappointed her.
He didn’t want to make any meaningless promises unless he proved it with his actions.
“I’ll get you a glass of water.” The man patted her back, turned around, walked to the water dispenser, poured her a glass of hot water, and handed it to her.
Ye Shengge looked at him. She didn’t know whether it was her imagination, but she seemed to see some gentleness in his eyes.
No, that was her imagination.
Ye Shengge accepted his kindness but she looked down and avoided eye contact with him.
