Chapter 230: Of Course I Like What You Gave Me
Ji Shiting walked to her side.
Ye Shengge stole a glance at him, remembering the words ‘shut up’.
“How is it?” he asked the doctor.
The older female doctor adjusted her glasses and said, “It’s alright. It’s not too serious. I’ll prescribe some medicine for Ms. Ye and it will subside after a while.”
Ye Shengge couldn’t help stealing glances at Ji Shiting.
Ji Shiting noticed what she was trying to say through her widened eyes: Is it serious?
He sneered, “There’s no need to prescribe her any medicine. Just let her bear the pain and learn her lesson.”
The doctor nodded and said, “Okay, Mr. Ji.”
Ye Shengge glared at him, and the man shot her a sarcastic glance.
She lowered her head.
…
The way back was filled with silence.
Ji Shiting probably didn’t want to talk, while Ye Shengge didn’t dare speak.
She pondered for something, opened her palm, picking up the blue diamond and wiping it clean. It was indeed a diamond after all and was just as flawless after the dirt was wiped away.
Ye Shengge breathed a sigh of relief. She would be able to find a new chain when she got back.
Ji Shiting’s heart skipped a beat seeing the way she was holding the diamond.
His expression softened a bit, and he pulled her into his embrace, asking, “Do you really like it that much?”
Ye Shengge eyed him carefully.
Ji Shiting frowned and said, “You can speak now.”
She immediately smiled and said, “I do. I absolutely like it because it was a gift from you. That was why I tried so hard to get it back.”
The man’s heart sank when he heard this and his pupils contracted.
He then sneered, “Don’t think I’ll let you off just because you said this.”
She had risked her life because diamonds were too expensive.
How stupid.
What she said merely sounded nice.
Ye Shengge pouted, but she was confused.
Truth be told, she didn’t even know why she had rushed to find the diamond like a madwoman.
That’s right. She did feel sorry for the value of it but Ji Shiting would have plenty of ways to get the diamond back given the power he wielded. Why had her brain seem to have ceased working at that time?
Was it really because Ji Shiting had given it to her? Was that man already so important to him?
She was terrified by that thought.
“I…” She wanted to say something nice to appease him, but she realized that she might be telling the truth.
“Don’t be mad, Shiting. I know I was in the wrong.” She tugged at his sleeve and begged.
The man looked at her coldly and said nothing.
Ye Shengge felt guilty. She thought for a bit and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t let those two hurt me again. Today was really an accident.”
“Oh, do you have the capability to do so?” Ji Shiting’s voice was laced with sarcasm.
“Of course I do.” Ye Shengge wasn’t convinced. “I know them, and I know their weaknesses. I didn’t want to waste my time on them before, but since they won’t let me go, I shall not show any mercy.”
Ji Shiting’s expression turned grave. “You can even handle one-sided public opinion? Aren’t you afraid of being attacked by the fans again?”
