She blurted it out involuntarily.

However, it pleased Ji Shiting greatly. He chuckled and his chest trembled.

Ye Shengge finally realized what she had just said. She was embarrassed and wanted to make amends, but she couldn’t say anything.

Ji Shiting grabbed her hand and pinched it. “Does it hurt?”

“Of course.” She glared at him.

“That means you’re not dreaming.” The man pinched her chin and looked at her. “Don’t doubt yourself. This is the result of your efforts.”

Ye Shengge immediately understood and asked, “Is it because I’m living well?”

“There’s still room for improvement.” His voice became hoarse as he kissed her earlobe.

Ye Shengge shivered and put her hands on his hard chest. She couldn’t help asking, “Then… compared to Ling Yutong?”

Ji Shiting paused and let go of her ear.

Ye Shengge’s heart pounded, and she couldn’t help looking forward to his answer. She looked up at him, but her eyes met Ji Shiting’s.

His gaze was deep, but there was a hint of a smile.

Ye Shengge lowered her head guiltily.

“Seems like you do mind my past with her, huh?” He stroked her cheek with his fingers.

Ye Shengge puffed her cheeks. She knew that that man would react the same way if she asked any questions related to Ling Yutong.

The man saw her hesitation and smiled.

Ye Shengge suddenly felt deflated. Ji Shiting had already determined that she minded it, so it was meaningless for her to continue.

Besides, she really did mind.

She then said, “Yes. After all, you’ve known each other for so many years. What if you suddenly think it through and get back together with her?”

The man lifted her face with one hand and stared at her for a while. After a while, he smiled and said, “What will you do if that day comes?”

Ye Shengge blinked and said, “What else can I do besides leave? Um… But on the bright side, my birthmark should’ve been removed by then. It shouldn’t be difficult to find a husband then…”

“Shut up!” Ji Shiting interrupted her angrily. “Are you planning for your next move already? You fickle woman!”

Ye Shengge glared at him. That man was so unreasonable. He was the one making assumptions first, yet he still had the cheek to accuse her of being a loose woman.

As long as he didn’t get back together with Ling Yutong, she wouldn’t be able to find the next person.

Ji Shiting couldn’t help gritting his teeth seeing how indignant she was.

He had thought that the woman would be sad and dejected for a while, but she was very rational. For most of the time, rationality could overcome feelings, which was why he was so happy in the tearoom today.

Ji Shiting took a deep breath and said, “I won’t get back together with her.”

Ye Shengge followed him and said, “I won’t find my next husband either.”

Ji Shiting snorted and hugged her tighter. He then said, “She used to be the only guy beside me.”
