Chapter 474 I Seem to Have Slept for a Very Long Time...

"What did Xiao Ruilang tell you?" Ji Shiting held her and suddenly asked in a low voice.

Ye Shengge closed her eyes and felt weak all over, but when she heard the man's question, she still cheered up and answered: "He said he had seen me before... and said he wanted to thank me."

Ji Shiting's eyes were terribly dark.

Xiao Ruilang's perverse temperament could not have any intersection with the innocent and simple Ye Shengge, let alone be grateful to her.

Unless... it was really like Gu Yimo guessed.

Did Xiao Ruilang also guess something, so he looked for an opportunity to drug her?

"Yeah." After a while, he used his hand to brush her sweaty long hair, and his voice was hoarse, "I know, go to sleep."

Ye Shengge blinked, and the bitterness in her heart became stronger.

It's really different. If it was before, he would definitely overbearingly order her not to care about Xiao Ruilang again.

She would rather he was still the same as before, even if his overbearing and unreasonableness made her suffer a lot, but at least... it would give her the illusion that she was very important to him.

Ye Shengge suddenly felt unprecedentedly tired. She closed her eyes and stopped talking. She looked like she was asleep.

Ji Shiting looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and complex and indistinguishable thoughts passed through his dark eyes.

Since she didn't remember everything that happened before she was nine years old, then... I hope she is lucky enough and never remembers it.

...

In the middle of the night, Ji Shiting suddenly woke up.

His alertness has always been very high. Even in his sleep, as long as there is a little noise outside, he will wake up immediately. But today, his awakening seemed to be unreasonable.

The room was silent, and the only thing wrong was...

His arms were empty, his hand stretched to the side, and the bed beside him was empty.

Ji Shiting's heart sank hard, he turned over and sat up, and turned on the light with a snap.

The woman stood in front of the window with her back to him, wearing a nightgown, and the whole person looked unusually slender and thin.

Ji Shiting suddenly had a strange premonition.

He got out of bed, picked up his nightgown and put it on, then spoke softly: "Shengge."

The voice was also extremely soft.

After a long while, the woman finally turned around, and the expression on her face seemed unusually strange.

"Who are you?" Her tone was soft and innocent, like a little girl who didn't know the world, but the pair of eyes that were always clear and bright had a bit of unspeakable evil.

The premonition came true, and Ji Shiting calmed down instead.

"I'm her husband." Ji Shiting said, staring into her eyes.

"She." The woman chewed on the word, "You are very smart, you know that I am different from her."

As she said, she licked her lips and showed a confused smile, "I seem to...slept for a long, long time."

"Yes." Ji Shiting walked slowly towards her, "So, you can continue to sleep."

"But she needs me." Her voice was very soft, but her tone was full of matter-of-factness.

"No, she has me now." Ji Shiting said, "She doesn't need you anymore."

"If she doesn't need me, I won't come out." The woman said, "Every time she is afraid, guilty, or sad, I will come out."

Fear, guilt, and sadness.

Ji Shiting thought of the paleness and resistance on the woman's face before going to bed, and suddenly clenched his fists.

What did he overlook?

"It's not that she needs you, but that you are using her." Ji Shiting said in a deep voice, "You will scare her."
