“Of course it’s true. I, Ji Ziming, am never one to lie. If Old master Qu doesn’t want to believe me, then I have no other way to convince you.”
Ji Ziming shrugged. He did not know how much Old master Qu thought of this sentence.
“I believe you. Of course, I believe you. Mr Ji, thank you for telling me all these. Thank you. Thank you so much.”
Old master Qu nodded repeatedly as though he had forgotten that he was still a patient.
The three men stayed in the operating room for quite a while. When Old master Qu finally understood the importance of Ji Ziming personally coming to tell him this news, he understood how scary the woman beside him was. It was so scary that he thought that he was about to enter the underworld.
Just as Ji Ziming and Qu Xiujie were about to leave the operating room, the doctor, who was waiting outside, walked out in an orderly manner. “CEO, take care.”
“Oh, right. We have to make it look like Old master Qu is really undergoing emergency surgery. We can’t make any mistakes. Otherwise, you guys can forget about staying in this hospital.”
“Understood, CEO. Don’t worry!”
The doctors and nurses nodded. Since it was a task assigned by Ji Ziming, how could it be impossible?
“Alright, treat Old master Qu well. There’s no need to send me off. I’ll leave myself.”
Ji Ziming raised his brows and looked at Old master Qu who was lying on the bed again with a look of comfort.
“Mr Ji, you…”
Qu Xiujie, who was standing at the side, could not understand what was the meaning of this conversation in Ji Ziming’s heart. Were Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua the most meaningful people in Ji Ziming’s heart? Could it be that Ji Ziming was using the meaning of these two women to make a bet with Old master Qu?
“You’ll see soon enough, Uncle.”
Ji Ziming did not say anything else and just walked out of the emergency room’s secret door.
“Okay, I won’t ask you again. I trust you.”
Qu Xiujie shook his head and looked into Ji Ziming’s eyes without saying anything.
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming walked in front and said ‘okay’ before walking toward the car. Now, he really wanted to see Pei Ge, the face he had been missing, and the three adorable children.
Perhaps, a person’s life was so short that it made Ji Ziming want to grow old quickly and leave this mall as soon as possible. As long as he followed Pei Ge, he could bring these three adorable children out of this world of mutual deception and find a place where no one could disturb them.
Perhaps everything was not more comfortable than it was here, but at least it was comfortable.
Ji Ziming brought Qu Xiujie back to the Ji family’s villa and Pei Ge got off the car with the Ji family’s chauffeur.
“Ge Ge, come here.”
Ji Ziming alighted from the car and saw Pei Ge alighting from it. Standing behind her, Ji Ziming’s lips curled up and a few rays of sunlight shone in his cold eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
She walked up to him and asked in surprise, “You guys are done?”
“Of course. Don’t you know how capable I am? Even if you don’t know how capable I am, you should know how powerful your husband, Mr Ji, is. He made it so that the old man doesn’t dare to raise any questions.”
Qu Xiujie was very proud. This time, he finally proved to this old man that he was not useless.
“Alright, Uncle is the best.”
Pei Ge pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Qu Xiujie without saying anything and only looked at Ji Ziming. Her bright eyes met with Ji Ziming’s deep ones and the two of them just looked at each other quietly. They did not say anything else or talk about the Qu family.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. It was as if everything around them was moving very slowly.
However, it was as if they had not seen each other for a long time. The way they smiled was exactly the same.
“Ge Ge, let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
She nodded obediently and allowed him to hold her hand as they walked into the villa.
“Hey, you guys are home. What should I do? I will drive your car back to the house.”
Standing beside the black Rolls-Royce, Qu Xiujie could not help but feel his heart itch when he saw the two of them being lovey-dovey. The lady he loved was still waiting for him at home. He did not feel that it was a pity as he was already missing the taste of love before he even left home.
“Okay, you can drive.”
Ji Ziming nodded without looking back, but his eyes were still on Pei Ge.
“Seriously, you’ve forgotten about your uncle now that you have a wife. I’d better ask your chauffeur to send me back.”
Once Qu Xiujie said that, he sat in the car that was originally carrying Pei Ge and patted the driver’s seat. “Send me back to the house.”
“Alright, Mr. Qu.”
The Ji family’s chauffeur was very sensible. Although Ji Ziming did not agree, he knew that he could not afford to offend this man, so he obediently sent him back to the house.
After dinner, Ji Ziming sat on the sofa in his silver-grey silk pajamas as he read a financial magazine. He wore gold-framed glasses and had two buttons on his chest. His chest muscles were already showing.
The moment Pei Ge walked out of the bathroom, Ji Ziming raised his head to look in her direction. The pink bathrobe was hanging loosely on Pei Ge’s shoulders, and the belt around her waist was in a mess. With just a little bit of force, it would fall off.
“Ge Ge, what present did you prepare for Old master Qu?”
Ji Ziming leaned on the sofa and tried his best to control his panic.
“Why are you concerned about this too?”
Pei Ge was in the process of skincare when she turned to look at Ji Ziming. The bathrobe on her shoulders fell to her elbows. With a small movement, Pei Ge quickly rearranged her clothes and turned around. With her back facing Ji Ziming, she continued, “It’s just some normal gifts. Nothing special or expensive.”
She heaved a sigh of relief inside as long as he did not pay too much attention to her.
“Then what did you buy?”
Ji Ziming seemed unwilling to give up without getting an answer as he insisted on knowing what Pei Ge had bought.
“Why? Are you unwilling to tell me?”
Ji Ziming put down the financial magazine in his hand and looked at Pei Ge, who happened to be looking at him in the mirror she bought last year.
