Because of the birthmark on her face, Ye Shengge had been a loner since she was young, and she had never been liked or admired by the opposite s.e.x. Mu Yanhuai was one of them, but she later realized that the man had never liked her.

It was difficult for her to be liked.

Therefore, even if Ji s.h.i.+ting treated her very well, she rarely thought of that possibility. Perhaps he wanted her to fall in love with him because he had fallen for her first?

Every now and then, she would throw that thought out of her mind.

However, the gentleness in the man's voice had bewitched her, so she blurted out these words.

She asked this vaguely, but she believed Ji s.h.i.+ting understood what she meant. After she said that, the man's smile disappeared and his pupils contracted.

Ye Shengge's heart was beating fast, and she was nervous.

She regretted it the moment she asked that question, but she couldn't help feeling hopeful. She held her breath and waited for his answer.

The only response she got was the man's deep breathing. He pursed his lips and stared at her with his dark eyes. It was as if he had lost all his emotions.

He was still holding her chin with his right hand, and he exerted a bit of strength with his rough fingers. It hurt a bit, but Ye Shengge didn't dare breathe loudly.

The man frowned and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't. It was as if the question was difficult for him.

The long silence brought about an indescribable awkwardness. Ye Shengge blinked, and her heart sank.

Although she wasn't surprised at all, she still felt a little bitter.

“I…” She forced a smile and pretended that nothing had happened. “I think I'm rather likeable, don't you think so? I'm very popular, and everyone in the cast likes me. Heh heh, heh…”

Ji s.h.i.+ting swallowed hard and frowned.

He took a deep breath, lifted her chin and kissed her.

Ye Shengge was actually a bit resistant, but she was never Ji s.h.i.+ting's match. When the man kissed her, her body was lifted up and pressed against the bookcase behind her. She gasped, and the man's tongue entered her mouth.

His kiss had always been deep and heavy, as if he wanted to tear her apart and devour her. However, it was different today. This kiss seemed to be urgent and irritated, as if he was trying to convey something with this kiss. He took her breath away and sucked her soft lips again and again, as if he wanted her lips to melt into his mouth.

Ye Shengge's body went limp from his kiss, and then, the man squeezed between her legs and pressed himself against her.

“Ahhh…” Ye Shengge couldn't breathe, and she hit his shoulder.

Ji s.h.i.+ting finally let go of her lips amidst ragged breathing.

Ye Shengge took a deep breath, but before she could catch her breath, Ji s.h.i.+ting bit her lips again. At the same time, she felt the man's desire against her.
