257 Don't Worry, I'm Here

"I…" Ye Shengge wanted to explain, but on second thought, there was nothing to explain. She really didn't care about him enough.

Perhaps it was because in her heart, Ji Shiting had always been strong and invincible, so she had never expected that man to feel lonely or hurt.

"Sorry." She grabbed his sleeve and apologized. "It seemed like your chat with auntie in the afternoon went fine, so I assumed it wasn't anything serious and didn't ask about it."

Ji Shiting stared at her for a few seconds before pulling her into his embrace.

"Mm." He took another puff and blew smoke at the lake before saying, "It's not a big deal indeed."

Ye Shengge was relieved. "Then… Why are you in such low spirits?"

"Who says I'm not in a good mood?" The man retorted. He tapped the cigarette ash, but his lips curled upwards with slight mockery.

Ye Shengge sighed.
