Pei Ge’s voice was dispirited as she coughed lightly and continued, “Ziming, do you know how overboard uncle and Nana are now? They are showing off their love in front of me and chased me away. How infuriating!”
Her pink lips curled up slightly and the annoyance in her eyes made Ji Ziming laugh softly. “You’re already the mother of the three children. Are you still jealous of them? Do you need me to show up? I can help you get back all your grievances and let you show off your affection in front of uncle and Mao Nana.”
Ji Ziming stood up and his slender figure appeared in Pei Ge’s sight. No matter how far this man went or how far he stood from her, she could feel the aura he exuded. It was the charisma of a king that she could not resist or resist.
“Sure. Come on, let’s go downstairs. I want to show my uncle and Nana how I’m showing them affection.”
Her voice was filled with joy, but inside, she was scolding herself for being a fool.
It was not easy for Qu Xiujie to find his love and he wanted to go on a holiday with Mao Nana. They had not progressed further and if she were to disturb his mood, she was afraid…
“Let’s go then. I’ll bring you to see what Uncle and the rest are doing.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes flashed as he pulled Pei Ge out. However, when they reached the door, Pei Ge grabbed his arm. “Ziming, are you really going to look for uncle? If you really go, I’m afraid uncle will…”
“What are you guys talking about? I’m just here to see these three children. Ge Ge, I want to talk about you. You’ve been up here for so long, yet you haven’t gone down to look for me and Nana.”
Qu Xiujie blinked and looked away from Ji Ziming at Pei Ge as he mouthed, “Na Na.”
Pei Ge suddenly understood and turned to look at Ji Ziming. “Ziming, I’ll go down to look for Nana. You guys can talk. Uncle wants to see the three children, so let him. I’ll go down first.”
“Don’t. If you go down, what will happen to my three children?”
Ji Ziming held Pei Ge’s hand tightly and looked into her eyes as he continued, “It’s best for our family to be together. If you go downstairs, what will uncle and I talk about?”
“Why do you guys need a woman like me here when you guys are together? If anything really happens, I’ll be downstairs. Nana and I will be downstairs. If anything happens, can’t you come and find us?”
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming paused for a moment before nodding gently at her.
Pei Ge turned around and walked down the stairs. Mao Nana sat on the sofa and looked at Pei Ge’s gentle eyes. “Ge Ge, come sit here. I have something to tell you.”
“What’s wrong? I saw that uncle specially went upstairs to look for Ziming, so I guessed that you had something to talk to me about. How is it? What do you want to talk to me about?”
Pei Ge touched her skirt and sat beside Mao Nana, looking at her with a gentle gaze.
“Ge Ge, I want to ask you, what will you think if I separate with your uncle?”
“Why will both of you separate?”
Pei Ge was shocked as she looked at Mao Nana suspiciously. “Why do you say that? What happened between you and uncle? Nana, tell me clearly what happened between the two of you.”
“Your uncle and I want to travel separately.”
“Ge Ge, I just found out that your uncle was with another woman before he met me…” Mao Nana said softly, looking at Pei Ge with sadness in her eyes.
“Nana, don’t think like that. This happened before Uncle met you. As a woman, I can’t say anything. But Nana, if you really mind, then follow your heart. No one can make a decision for you.”
Pei Ge’s palms were slightly sweaty as she looked at Mao Nana’s hurt eyes. Her heart was also filled with pain.
“Alright, Ge Ge. I think I’ll think about it carefully, but I want to put aside my plans to travel with uncle for the time being because I didn’t think about myself properly after coming to the capital. I’ve always been obedient when I accompanied your family to Old master Qu’s birthday banquet, but Ge Ge, I want to go out on my own this time, alright?”
Mao Nana’s voice was gentle as she looked at Pei Ge with tears in her eyes. However, she did not expect Qu Xiujie to be standing on the stairs not far away from them and looking at them with hurt eyes.
“Uncle…”
Shocked, Mao Nana hurriedly stood up, scared and nervous.
“Nana, I’ve explained it to you. It all happened when I didn’t know you. Why can’t you believe me once? It’s been so long, and I haven’t told you anything else, but this is the only thing I didn’t choose to hide from you. Do you really not understand my feelings?”
Qu Xiujie walked closer to Mao Nana and saw that her eyes were filled with sorrow and pain. He could not wait to dig out his heart for her to see but if that was the case, why did he have to be so conflicted?
“Uncle, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but I…”
Mao Nana’s voice became softer and she did not dare to look into Qu Xiujie’s eyes. However, the fear in her heart still lingered.
“Uncle, don’t be like this. Don’t force Nana. This is something that no woman can accept so easily. Uncle, why don’t you explain it to Nana? Actually, what Nana said isn’t without reason. Maybe letting her go out for a walk is a good idea.”
Pei Ge stood up and looked at Qu Xiujie.
“You’re leaving? Where are you going? Nana, didn’t you go through so much to find me? Don’t you want to be with me wholeheartedly? But now that we’re going to be together, why did you give up? Just because of those women? Don’t you want to believe my sincerity towards you? Nana, can you not leave? Just stay by my side and let me accompany you forever. I’ll be your support, your big tree, do whatever you want to do, go anywhere you want to go, I’m willing to accompany you, okay?”
