Chapter 754: Being Treated Differently

“That’s right. I really can’t bear to, but… I think the baby is more important. What do you think?” She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Ji Shiting looked down and stared at her nonchalant face.

If he hadn’t seen the disappointment on her face when he first came in, he might’ve believed her.

“As long as you’re happy.” He smiled.

“That’s great.” The woman seemed relieved. “I’ll have to trouble Producer Chu and Director Wang… There are a few newcomers in the studio who match the style. We can let them try.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Ji Shiting stroked her face and kissed her lips.

…

Late at night.

The woman had fallen asleep in his arms, breathing smoothly and evenly. She put her right hand on his chest.

Ji Shiting grabbed her hand and kissed it. A few seconds later, he put her hand aside and walked out of the bedroom.

The man called Chu Dongyang and asked what was going on.

Chu Dongyang could tell that something was wrong with Ji Shiting’s tone. He wanted to pretend not to know, but he couldn’t help stuttering when he lied to Ji Shiting.

He had to tell her the truth.

Ji Shiting said coldly, “What if I give more money? I can double or triple the budget as long as you can give them an irresistible salary.”

Chu Dongyang didn’t say anything for a long time. He was indeed a big shot.

“Mr. Ji…” Chu Dongyang coughed.” I believe most of the staff will choose to stay because of the money, but they’ll definitely be cautious and reject Ms. Ye… I reckon Ms. Ye might not want to be treated this way. ”

Ji Shiting pursed his lips.

It wasn’t that he didn’t understand, but he still couldn’t help feeling angry.

“I’ll think of a way, but don’t agree if she calls you and quit,” Ji Shiting said coldly.

“I understand.”

Ji Shiting held his phone after hanging up the phone.

He wanted Ye Shengge to quit work and stay at home to nurse her pregnancy, but… he didn’t want that to be the reason.

She had been ostracized because of the birthmark on her face since she was young and she would get frowned upon. Now that she had finally gotten over it, she was more and more confident. Perhaps she was no longer afraid of the outside world, but Ji Shiting couldn’t stand seeing her being treated like this.

After a few seconds of silence, Ji Shiting turned around and returned to the bedroom. He didn’t turn on the lights, so the room was dark.

Before she reached the bed, the man noticed something.

He frowned and turned on the bedside lamp.

Sure enough, the woman was already awake. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, and one of the straps of her nightdress slid down, revealing her smooth and fair shoulders. The moment the lights were on, she closed her eyes, opened them again, and smiled at him.

“I remember this place,” she said. “I hurt you here last time.”

“It’s you.” Ji Shiting was a bit surprised. “Long time no see.”

“I remember I was locked up. They were bad. I told them I didn’t do it, but they didn’t believe me and kept questioning me.” The woman stared at him. “Did you avenge me? Or rather, avenge her?”
