He saw the determination on the woman’s face and the vulnerability in her eyes, and he suddenly recalled what Song Ruxu had said to him.
“You’ll affect her emotions greatly, so you can make her better or worse.”
At least Song Ruxu was right about one thing. He would greatly affect her emotions, and he could see her pain, sadness, and conflict clearly.
“When she sees you, she’ll remember that she hurt you before. The pain and self-reproach might deepen her illness, but at the same time, you’re also the source of her courage and motivation. On one hand, it’s because she can’t bear to part with you, and on the other, it’s because she’s afraid of hurting you again. Mr. Ji, which emotion do you think is better for her?”
It seemed that she was more afraid of hurting him.
Ji Shiting swallowed hard and said, “I’ve been reading up on T.S. Corporation’s businesses these days. I found out that T.S. Corporation owns half of your studio’s shares.”
Ye Shengge didn’t understand why he suddenly brought it up, but she nodded and said, “That’s right. T.S. Corporation paid for the studio’s startup.”
“Were we married then?” he asked.
Ye Shengge nodded and said, “The studio… is equivalent to a gift from you.”
“But the studio isn’t profitable yet,” the man said.
Ye Shengge explained, “The studio hasn’t been established for long, and it’s still in the early stages of investment. I reckon it won’t be profitable until two years later.”
In fact, in just two months, T.S. Corporation had spent most of its initial funding. There were too many ways to spend money to start a business. Fortunately, she and Shang Tianyi had been in this industry for a long time, so they were experienced. Although they had used up all their money, they hadn’t wasted it.
She and Shang Tianyi both had high hopes for the studio, but they needed time no matter how promising it was.
Thus, she couldn’t help feeling guilty upon hearing Ji Shiting mention it.
“Mm.” Ji Shiting nodded. “Have you been busy with the studio lately?”
Ye Shengge nodded and said, “I haven’t been filming lately, and I don’t have any other jobs.”
Ji Shiting looked at her for a while.
For that woman, feelings had never been as important as work and career. Perhaps she still felt guilty and blamed herself for the pain she was in now. If it was just the matter of separating from him, she might not be able to recover.
He had once hated how calm and reserved she was, but now, he felt that having a job to distract her wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
The man’s passionate gaze made Ye Shengge uneasy.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“I think you’re right,” Ji Shiting said. “We all need to start a new life.”
Ye Shengge shivered and couldn’t say anything. She nodded.
“So, are you going to date another man?” The man smiled. “To start your new life?”
“No…” Ye Shengge answered subconsciously. She then looked down and said,” I’m very busy with work. I’m afraid I don’t have time. ”
“I didn’t expect my ex-wife to be a workaholic,” he said sarcastically.
“If…” Ye Shengge suppressed her bitterness.” If you want to start dating, don’t… don’t worry about me. ”
Ji Shiting curled his lips and said, “Oh, but I can’t find someone worse than you?”
