“Enough, enough.”
Ran Ran retracted her head and glanced at little Ji Chi. “Second brother, you brought this carrot over.”
“Mhm.”
Ji Chi’s expression did not change as he looked at Ran Ran and said clearly, “It’s fine if you have enough. If it’s not enough, I’ll go get more.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened. The carrot slices that he had painstakingly cut were actually taken away by this little thing for the little rabbit to eat.
The pitiful little rabbit widened her eyes at Ji Ziming, who was standing opposite her. Her adorable pout rendered him speechless.
The moment Ran Ran lowered her head and acted cute, Ji Ziming’s heart softened.
“Forget it. Have fun by yourselves.”
With that, Ji Ziming turned to leave but was stopped by An An, who was standing at the door. “Daddy, there’s still half a carrot here.”
“…”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened as he looked at An An in front of him. He could not explain himself and could only squat down to look at him. “Daddy doesn’t need it anymore. You guys can play by yourselves. Daddy will go cut some for mommy.”
“But daddy, this is all the carrots in the fridge. If not, second brother wouldn’t have taken so many carrots from you.”
An An tilted his head and his eyes shone with intelligence. He blinked his large eyes at Ji Ziming and continued, “Daddy, promise me, okay? Don’t blame second brother.”
“Okay, I won’t blame him. How can I blame him? I don’t want the carrots anymore. I’ll go cook for your mommy now. The three of you can go play together.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes were gentle as he stood up and placed the carrot back into An An’s hands.
Pei Ge, who was sitting in the dining room, was watching everything unfold with her chin in her hand. There was only Pei Ge, Ji Ziming and the three children in the house. No matter what they said in the washroom, Pei Ge, who was sitting in the dining room, could hear it clearly.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have carrots. I don’t really eat them.”
Pei Ge’s beautiful eyes shone with gentleness and her dark pupils were exquisite.
“That’s all we can do now. If you really want to eat, there’s really nothing left.”
Ji Ziming opened the fridge and saw that there was everything but carrots in it. His handsome features revealed a hint of disappointment.
“It’s fine. I don’t mind anything.”
She saw through his expression. Having been together for so long, she knew what he was thinking. He wanted to prepare a good lunch for her and wanted her to eat well, so he had such high hopes for her. However, when the hope was high, the disappointment was gone.
“I can eat anything. You don’t have to worry so much.”
She stared coldly at the ingredients in the fridge, as though she could finish them in a few minutes.
“That’s different. You’re my woman, so you need the best of everything, including the meal I made for you.”
Ji Ziming was very certain. He turned to look at Pei Ge, who was sitting opposite him, and suddenly asked, “So, do you want to give it a try?”
She frowned, feeling a little worried.
“When your lunch is ready, I’ll give it a try. Definitely just a try.”
She rolled her eyes but could not bear to break his fantasy.
However, when Ji Ziming brought a bowl of seafood noodles over, all of Pei Ge’s appetite was whetted. The smoothness of the noodles and the freshness and plumpness of the prawn meat did not come from someone who had just entered the kitchen.
“Did you really make this?”
She could not believe it. Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of her, the pain in her body seemed to have disappeared.
“Why? You don’t believe me?”
Ji Ziming removed his apron and sat beside Pei Ge. His eyes were deep and affectionate as he looked at Pei Ge with even more gentleness. “How is it?”
“Not bad. It’s beyond my imagination. I thought it would be delicious, but it looks like it’s really, really delicious.”
Pei Ge smiled. The fragrance of the bowl of noodles had already soothed all the uneasiness and sorrow in her heart. All the stress and fear she had felt during this period of time had been captured by the bowl of noodles.
“Then eat more. If it’s not enough, I’ll give you more.”
“Okay.”
As she slurped the noodles, she quickly scooped a mouthful of soup into her mouth. Be it her taste buds or her vision, she was satisfied.
“Ziming, I really didn’t expect you to be so capable. I really underestimated you in the past.”
“There are many things you don’t know. Do you still want to see them?”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled up and his eyes were cold yet affectionate.
“Sounds good.”
Pei Ge laughed out loud, saying that she wanted to see it, but her mouth was full of noodles.
It was as if she had returned to the past. It was like when he first met her. No matter what happened, Pei Ge was always able to shoulder all the pressure by herself. Only Ji Ziming knew that there was a little woman in Pei Ge’s heart.
A woman who needed his love forever.
After Pei Ge cleaned the bowl of noodles, Ji Ziming took out a piece of tissue and gently wiped her pink lips. “You little gluttonous cat, if you want to eat it next time, just tell me. I’ll make it for you again.”
“It’s really delicious this time. I’m very satisfied.”
“Are you still angry with me?”
“How would I dare? You’re CEO Ji. If I get angry at you, my life will be over.”
She blinked at him, her mischievous look making him very happy.
“Okay. Are you feeling better now?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes were gentle and his aura was like a warm spring breeze that surrounded Pei Ge.
“Much better.”
Perhaps it was the power of the food or her body’s resistance, but she seemed to feel better.
It did not hurt so much and she did not hate him as much.
In this layer of mist, Pei Ge could actually see herself in Ji Ziming’s eyes. Her small figure was very important and was right in the middle.
“That’s good.”
Ji Ziming reached out and was about to hold Pei Ge’s hand when the three children stood at the door.
They shouted in unison, “Daddy, we’re hungry too.”
Ran Ran pursed her lips and stood at the door as if she had not woken up.
