“Really!” Ye Shengge added, as if she didn't want him to believe her. “I know I'm being disrespectful by doing this. Please forgive me.”

She blinked her eyes innocently as he said that.

Ji s.h.i.+ting pursed his lips and moved her hands away, saying, “Do you think that's the reason I'm mad?”

Ye Shengge was dazed. “What else could it be?”

The man stared at her face, and after a while, he sneered.

Ye Shengge's heart trembled when she heard it.

She grabbed his s.h.i.+rt and said, “What do I have to do to appease you? I… It doesn't matter if you don't touch me anymore, but don't be like this…”

“What do you want?” Ji s.h.i.+ting held her hands.

“Don't ignore me,” she said, observing his expression. “Okay?”

Ji s.h.i.+ting saw how cautious she looked. His Adam's apple moved, and his eyes turned dark.

“What if I don't touch you again?” He stroked her cheek and copied the shape of the rose. “What about your birthmark?”

Ye Shengge coughed and said, “If you need me, I…”

Her cheeks were burning, and under the man's contemptuous and understanding gaze, she lowered her head.

“It doesn't mean I don't need you,” Ji s.h.i.+ting said coldly. “Don't worry.”

Which meant he would still sleep with her when he wanted to.

Ye Shengge was dazed. Her lips trembled and she lowered her head after a while.

It sounded like she could still get what she wanted, but this wasn't what she wanted.

“Why? Are you still not satisfied?” Ji s.h.i.+ting curled his lips and said sarcastically.

“We're already married.” She sounded aggrieved. “What's the point of getting married if you don't talk to me?”

“Oh, so you want a divorce?” The man said coldly.

“No, no!” Ye Shengge shook her head. She wet her lips and thought about what to say. “I know you didn't want to marry me, s.h.i.+ting, but we're already married. Besides, you asked me to stay with you. How can you ignore me? Even if I did something wrong, you should give me a chance to change.”

She still hugged his arm tightly as she spoke.

Ji s.h.i.+ting looked down at her, his dark eyes unreadable.

“I know that I didn't do well a couple of days ago,” Ye Shengge said. “I'll do my best to be an adornment from now on.”

“For show?” Ji s.h.i.+ting sneered. “You're not qualified yet.”

Ye Shengge was rendered speechless again. Just as she was feeling upset, Ji s.h.i.+ting suddenly sat down beside her and pulled her into his embrace. He put his chin on her forehead and pinched her waist with his hand.

The man's embrace was broad and warm. Ye Shengge was dazed, but her heart pounded faster.

Did that mean he had forgiven her?

“If you don't want me to be an adornment, then let me be your wife…” She immediately said coquettishly, “Hubby.”

She couldn't help blus.h.i.+ng when she herself heard it.

She seemed to be getting even more shameless by the day.
