“But I’m really afraid. What if that person really did what she did to my dad back then, to my mom? I didn’t know it in the past and couldn’t avoid it, but now that I have the ability, I can’t let anything happen to my mom. No matter who it is, no matter what happens, I definitely won’t let it happen under my nose.”
“Ge Ge, believe me. Nothing will happen to mom because she is blessed. No one will do anything to her. Plus, Uncle is with mom.”
Ji Ziming held Pei Ge’s hand tightly. His eyes were deep and affectionate, but they only became gentler when he looked at her.
“Really?”
Pei Ge seemed to have been persuaded by Ji Ziming and wanted to give up on this. However, before she could nod her head, she heard the sound of glasses shattering from the second floor.
The four of them quickly ran to the room where the accident happened. Ran Ran blinked her big eyes at the four adults standing at the door and asked in surprise, “Daddy, mommy, grandma, granduncle, what are you guys doing?”
“Ran Ran, why did you break your cup?”
Pei Ge looked at Ran Ran and her nervousness had already reached its peak.
“Mommy, I’m sorry. I broke the glass…”
Ran Ran stood beside the cup, her bare feet making Pei Ge very worried.
“Pei Ge, it’s my fault. I’ll take care of it now. We’re playing a game, so Ran Ran accidentally dropped her cup. Don’t worry; we’re fine here.”
Butler Charlie carried Ran Ran to the sofa and even helped her put on her slippers.
“Charlie, it’s you guys playing games…”
Zhang Manhua laughed as she watched the people in the room nervously look at the four people in shock.
“Okay, okay. Charlie is enough in the room. Let’s go downstairs.”
“Okay. Let’s go downstairs. Nothing will happen here.”
Ji Ziming held Pei Ge’s hand gently and meticulously as he looked into her eyes. He knew that Pei Ge’s heart was filled with unwillingness to part with the three children. It was precisely because of this that Ji Ziming would sometimes be jealous of them.
Come to think of it, it was truly too incomprehensible.
“Ran Ran, you guys have to be careful when playing with Uncle Charlie, okay?”
She was still a little worried. How could a child like her play in a room like this?
“You guys can leave first. I’ll leave once I’m done here.”
She was still a little worried and was about to enter the room when he pulled her into his embrace.
“Don’t go in. Don’t you see that Uncle Charlie is already cleaning up?”
Ji Ziming did not want Pei Ge to go in and did not want her to get hurt because of these accidents.
“I…”
“Pei Ge, I’m sorry. I didn’t take good care of Ran Ran. Don’t worry; I won’t play such dangerous games in my room.”
Butler Charlie’s voice was low. Although he could not hear the guilt in it, he had already apologized to Ran Ran many times in his heart.
“It’s fine, Uncle Charlie. It’s not your fault. I know that my children are naughty and mischievous. If you treat them so gently, I’m afraid they’ll be even more naughty.”
“You’re exaggerating.”
“I didn’t. It’s really fine. Thank you.”
“Okay, then. Let’s not talk about this anymore. You guys can leave. I’ll clean up this room. Don’t worry.”
“Okay.”
Seeing that the butler really did not want her to enter, Pei Ge did not insist.
The four of them returned downstairs. Pei Ge was still frightened by the sound of the cup shattering and was still thinking of what to do if Ran Ran met with another accident.
In this tense moment, everything seemed to have gathered together.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
He had already seen through all the anxiety in Pei Ge’s heart. As long as something happened to the person beside this woman, Pei Ge would be very nervous. However, the more this happened, the more Ji Ziming wanted to take good care of this woman.
He cared about what she cared about.
“Ziming, I know. I’m probably too nervous right now.”
Pei Ge nodded. Realizing that her nervousness had made the people around her nervous, she sincerely apologized, “I’ll be more careful.”
“It’s fine. You still have me. Being nervous only means that you care about them, so you don’t have to worry. I’m here.”
“I understand.”
Pei Ge nodded and looked at Zhang Manhua and Qu Xiujie beside her. “Mom, Uncle, I’m not —”
“I know. You need to rest early tonight, okay?”
Zhang Manhua tugged at her daughter’s hand.
“Mom, I’m fine.”
Pei Ge shook her head. Before she could remind Zhang Manhua of anything else, she was dragged into the room to rest.
“Listen to me. Rest well tonight and don’t worry about anything else. I’ll take care of the family matters. You still have Ziming to take care of the company matters. What are you worried about? The three children, your Uncle Charlie, and your Uncle. You don’t have to worry about anything. You just have to adjust yourself to your best condition.”
Zhang Manhua consoled her daughter. She knew that her words were useless given her daughter’s temper,
“I understand, Mom.”
Seeing her mother’s determination, Pei Ge could only give up on arguing with her.
“Hurry and go, Ziming. Quickly bring Ge Ge back to her room to rest. No matter what happens, it’s not a big deal. Besides, the sky won’t fall.”
Zhang Manhua patted him on the shoulder with a heavy voice.
“I understand, mom. I’ll bring Ge Ge back to her room to rest. You should rest early, too. After all, it’s getting late.”
Ji Ziming took Pei Ge’s hand from Zhang Manhua’s. It was just like back then when he took Pei Ge’s life from Zhang Manhua in a treasured and steady manner.
In this life, she could only be his woman. He had seen all her good and bad.
Other than him, no one else had the right to protect her peace for life.
“I understand. Your Uncle and I will clean up the kitchen. You guys should go upstairs and rest.”
Zhang Manhua then pulled Ji Ziming to whisper a few words into his ear. Ji Ziming, who was usually cold, became gentler with these few words and even smiled.
