Chapter 126

: A Dead End

Qianfan Villa.

All the servants in the villa were shocked when Ji Shiting came back. After all, Ji Shiting had never been back so early before.

“Young Master!”

“I’ll leave immediately. There’s no need for lunch,” Ji Shiting said. “Is Young Madam still sleeping?”

“Yes. I just went in to check. Young Madam was sleeping soundly,” said Sister Xiu.

Ji Shiting curled his lips. It would be a miracle for her to even wake up before dinner after being tortured by him till five in the morning.

He didn’t even take off his jacket. He walked to the second floor, opened the door of the master bedroom and strode in.

The woman was still sleeping, but she wasn’t sleeping well.

Ji Shiting stroked her face and looked at her pale face and long eyelashes.

He pursed his lips and lifted the blanket. He saw the bruises as well as the swollen bit on her body and felt pained and guilty.

She could handle it, and even if it hurt, she would only cry and beg for mercy. However, the more she tried to suppress it, the angrier he got, and eventually, he lost control.

The most annoying thing was that the dumb woman couldn’t figure out why he was angry.

Ji Shiting gritted his teeth, took out the ointment he had prepared and applied it on the swollen area before covering her with the blanket.

Perhaps due to the soothing ointment, her frown relaxed.

Ji Shiting smiled mockingly and bit her earlobe. He felt better after hearing the woman moan.

…

Ye Shengge woke up because of the hunger. She opened her eyes and saw the light filtered through the curtain. It was probably in the afternoon.

Her body was still weak, but it wasn’t sore anymore. There was still a coolness on a certain part of her body… Had Sister Xiu applied medicine on her?

Ye Shengge couldn’t have been more embarrassed as she imagined that scene. Just then, the door was pushed open.

“You’re awake, Young Madam.” Sister Xiu saw the person on the bed flip and she smiled. “Do you want to eat something?”

Ye Shengge was too hungry, so she mumbled, “Okay.”

Fortunately, Sister Xiu didn’t tease her. She just smiled and helped serve her. After Ye Shengge finished eating, Sister Xiu put away the tray and desk before walking out, closing the door behind her.

Ye Shengge finally regained some strength after eating.

She dragged her sore body out of bed, took a shower, put on her clothes and stood in front of the mirror.

The mirror reflected her pale face and the facial birthmark. As she had expected, it hadn’t changed at all.

What should he do now? Ji Shiting was so proud that he wouldn’t be seduced by her again. Even if he couldn’t control himself, he still had a way to stop her from getting what she wanted. It was just the reenactment of last night.

This was a dead end.

Actually, she could understand Ji Shiting’s anger. He knew what she was trying to do, and it made him feel like he was being used. If it were her in that position, she would also be pissed.

However, she didn’t expect him to be so angry. Even if she had ulterior motives, she had never forced him to do it. At least they were both willing to do it.

Ye Shengge sighed, feeling confused.

She couldn’t figure it out, so she went back to her room and read the script. When darkness fell, she felt hungry and so she walked out of the room.

She walked down the stairs and at that moment, she saw Ji Shiting walking in.

Their eyes met.
