However, Ji Shiting was way calmer than Yu Shuhang.

“You trust her character,” the man said. “But you’re questioning my character.”

Yu Shuhang was rendered speechless.

“I have my reasons for saying that Little Zheng isn’t my child,” Ji Shiting said. “Since she doesn’t want me to have another paternity test with that child, then she shouldn’t blame me. I’ll try my best to make up for what I owed her, but that’s two different things.”

Yu Shuhang rubbed his face and smiled, “Sometimes, I really hate how calm you are.”

“Why are you so eager to speak up for her?” Ji Shiting suddenly stared at him, his gaze sharp.

“I… ” Yu Shuhang paused for a bit and said.” I’m not speaking up for her. I just feel sorry for her. I’ve always thought that you still had her in your heart, and because you married sister-in-law. I also thought…”

Ji Shiting suddenly smiled and said, “Really? Do you think I won’t dare do anything because I still have her in my heart?”

Yu Shuhang stood up and said, “Ji Shiting!”

She sounded embarrassed.

“I have nothing to do with her anymore,” Ji Shiting said coldly. “You don’t have to be so cautious.”

“But she was your woman after all, and you loved her.” Yu Shuhang’s voice suddenly became hoarse. “I won’t….”

Ji Shiting frowned and was about to say something when Sister Xiu said, “Why aren’t you going in, Young Madam?”

…

Ye Shengge had caught sight of Yu Shuhang heading upstairs.

She knew that Yu Shuhang was here to talk to Ji Shiting about Ling Yutong and Little Zheng, so she couldn’t help eavesdropping.

She was squatting at the door, and her ears were pressed against the door frame. She was probably too focused on listening, so she didn’t notice Sister Xiu behind her.

However, She was shocked when she heard Sister Xiu’s voice!

“Shh!” Ye Shengge turned around and shushed her.

“Why don’t you send the tea and snacks in?” Sister Xiu lowered her voice and raised the tray in her hand.

Ye Shengge was hesitating, but the voice in the study had disappeared, replaced by footsteps.

Damn it, Ji Shiting must have known that she was eavesdropping.

“No, you should go in.” Ye Shengge turned around and ran into the room.

“Stop right there.”

Ye Shengge had to stop when she heard the man’s deep voice.

She turned around and looked at the two people walking out of the study. “Ah, Shuhang is here? Heh heh, Sister Xiu has brought you some snacks. Continue chatting…”

Yu Shuhang’s lips twitched. “You’re being too polite, sister-in-law. I’ve finished talking to Shiting. I’ll leave now. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

He then looked at Ji Shiting, who nodded.

“I’ll send you out, Young Master Yu,” said Sister Xiu.

“Thank you.” Yu Shuhang nodded and followed Sister Xiu downstairs.

Ye Shengge watched them leave, wishing she could leave with them.

She suddenly heard a scoff, and her face heated up. She had to look at Ji Shiting.

The man curled his lips and said, “Didn’t you say you weren’t interested at all?”
