The next second, the door behind her opened.

Ye Shengge was caught off guard and fell backward. Her eyes widened in fear.

However, the expected fall didn’t happen. She fell into a familiar embrace.

The man grabbed her waist and said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s me.”

The man then picked her up.

Ye Shengge burst into tears. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest, as if the embrace was her entire world.

Xiao Ruilang looked at Ye Shengge, who was in the man’s arms.

…Finding her so soon made it much less entertaining.

He then glanced at Ji Shiting.

Coincidentally, Ji Shiting was also staring at him with a cold and murderous gaze.

Xiao Ruilang suddenly smiled and said, “Don’t misunderstand, Brother Shiting. I was just joking with sister-in-law.”

Ji Shiting curled his lips and said nothing more. He turned to the bodyguard beside him and said, “Feng Jing.”

“I understand,” Feng Jing answered and blocked Xiao Ruilang.

Xiao Ruilang smiled again and looked at the two of them. “Sister-in-law, you should thank me, shouldn’t you… Urgh!”

Before he could finish, he was punched in the chin.

Xiao Ruilang staggered. He looked at Feng Jing, who was tall and burly, and thought that his bodyguard had probably been dealt with by Ji Shiting’s subordinates. He looked at him and said, “Don’t slap my face, brother.”

Feng Jing then punched his face again.

…

Ji Shiting carried the woman out of the hotel.

It was snowing heavily in Yang City, and snowflakes that looked like goose feathers fluttered everywhere. All he could see was whiteness. The bodyguards beside him immediately held up an umbrella for him.

Ji Shiting looked cold, but his eyes were especially dark. The woman in his arms groaned and hugged him with her thin arms. She shivered, but it wasn’t because of the cold, but because of the drugs in her body.

The man swallowed hard and carried her to the car.

Ye Shengge lay in his embrace, her face burning as she rubbed against his chest.

Ji Shiting’s breathing was irregular. He held her face and wiped away the sweat on her forehead. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“Shiting, help me…” Ye Shengge tried to open her eyes and look at the man’s handsome face.” I don’t want this birthmark…”

“You still don’t want to give up.” The man stared at her, his eyes dark. “That’s why you fell into Xiao Ruilang’s trap, isn’t it?”

“…Yes,” she said. “If you don’t help me, I’ll fall into this trap for the second and third time. I can’t ignore it as long as someone tells me he knows the secret of the birthmark.”

“What are you trying to do, Ye Shengge?” The man was furious. “You still don’t trust me, do you?”

“I just want to be with you.” She suddenly choked, and all the words buried in her heart were finally revealed. “Perhaps you really don’t care, but I don’t want you to have any regrets because of me. I want to have a child with you, so that grandpa won’t have an excuse to separate us, and I won’t let you have an excuse to abandon me… It’s not because I don’t trust you, but because… I can’t leave you anymore…”
