Xu Yansong had a million apologies in his heart, but he could not tell Sire Nine in time. This was the man who made him fearful at first glance. Sire Nine’s bloody aura made him want to resist but he could not. He did not even have the courage to leave.
“Fine, then. We won’t terminate your contract. Tell me first: Why are you here looking for me?”
Sire Nine cut to the chase and did not intend to continue nagging with Xu Yansong. The sharpness in his eyes could not escape Xu Yansong’s gaze.
“Alright, I’m here because I want something.”
Xu Yansong raised his head. The light in his eyes did not dissipate because of Ninth Master’s evil aura.
“Somethings? What thing?”
Sire Nine was pleasantly surprised. There were very few people who would come to him openly to get things. In fact, no one would be able to barge into his mansion. Of course, he had tacitly allowed the guards at the entrance to not stop him.
Qu Xiujie and Ji Ziming and Pei Ge discussed for a while but Ji Ziming remained silent. On the other hand, Qu Xiujie and Pei Ge felt more and more familiar with each other due to their relationship. Ji Ziming sat in front of them and looked at the person in front of him. The imprints in his ears were actually so similar.
“Ziming, what do you think?”
Pei Ge looked at Ji Ziming, who was staring at her, with confusion in her eyes. She tugged at his sleeve and pulled him back from his daze.
“Say what?”
His eyes flashed with indifference.
“The plan that we talked about earlier.”
She felt a little helpless. She did not know what was hidden in his eyes but she felt as though she had seen it somewhere before.
“Okay, you’ve already discussed it. Of course, I believe you. Since the plan has been confirmed, let’s go home. The three babies are still waiting at home.”
Ji Ziming was about to stand up when he saw the suspicion in her eyes.
“Why? Don’t you want to go home? Are you going to continue discussing the plan with this old thing?”
Ji Ziming sounded unhappy and the indifference in his eyes shocked Qu Xiujie. He did not know that Ji Ziming could be jealous of him.
“Ziming, what are you talking about? The plan we talked about earlier was to stay in the hospital tonight and see if Old lady Qu would send someone over to deal with Mr. Qu. You clearly didn’t listen to anything and still refused to admit it.”
Pei Ge tugged Ji Ziming’s sleeve and signaled him to sit down so that he would not show any embarrassment in front of Qu Xiujie.
“Oh? I see.”
Ji Ziming’s voice was low and his gaze on Pei Ge turned from displeasure to apology.
“What else did you think it was?”
She glanced at him and rolled her eyes. If he still did not understand what she meant, she would ignore him for the rest of the day.
“Do you think Old lady Qu is a pushover? That old thing has been in the Qu family for so many years and is still not Old lady Qu’s match. She still came to look for me for protection, so you should believe me. Of course, I, Ji Ziming, can dig out all the bad things Old lady Qu has done and even give her a big gift.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes were deep. He turned his sharp and ruthless eyes on Qu Xiujie, who was sitting on the bed.
While he was in a daze, his buddy had taken the opportunity to get closer to Pei Ge and even asked his wife to stay over with him.
How could he tolerate this? As a normal man, he could not tolerate an old man who was older, less charismatic, and poorer than him stealing his woman, let alone him, Ji Ziming.
“You mean that if Old lady Qu sends someone over tonight, wouldn’t it be…”
Still worried, Pei Ge continued asking.
“Do you think my bodyguards grew up eating carrots?”
Ji Ziming said unhappily. Could it be that this woman still did not trust his ability?
“Qu Xiujie might not know of my abilities, but you don’t know as well?”
Ji Ziming’s words had a double meaning, causing Pei Ge’s face to turn red from confusion. As for Qu Xiujie, who was sitting on the bed and rolling around in the snow, he knew what Ji Ziming meant.
He sighed in his heart. In the end, this young man still treated him as a love rival, and a love rival that no one cared about.
“Let’s go home. The babies are still waiting for us at home.”
Ji Ziming hugged Pei Ge’s shoulders and asked softly as he looked at her lovingly.
“Okay.”
Pei Ge nodded, thinking that she had to go home anyway. Since Ji Ziming already had his own plans, how could she not trust him?
After bidding farewell to Qu Xiujie, Ji Ziming drove Pei Ge back to the Ji family’s villa. The moment Pei Ge entered the house, Auntie Zhang rushed over. “Madam, Miss Qin Qitong called you just now. Since you’re not home, I’ll pick it up for you.”
“Cut to the chase.”
Ji Ziming raised his brows slightly as anger appeared on his face.
Madam Zhang was frightened by his expression and started stammering.
“Ma… Madam, Miss Qitong… Miss said…”
“Auntie Zhang, don’t be nervous. Let’s go to the other side. Tell me everything Qitong told you.”
Pei Ge looked at Ji Ziming and indeed, his expression was not much better than when he was looking at Qu Xiujie in the ward. After saying that, she pulled Auntie Zhang to the living room’s corridor.
“Madam, Miss Qin Qitong said that she couldn’t get through to you, so she called home and said that she’ll be back in a few days for the wedding.”
Auntie Zhang’s face brimmed with a smile when she heard that Qin Qitong was preparing to get married. If not for Ji Ziming’s shout, she would have already told Pei Ge what Qin Qitong wanted to say.
“Call me?”
She opened her handbag in disbelief and found six missed calls from Qin Qitong.
“Aiya, I must have switched my phone to silent mode because of the company’s meeting. It’s my fault for being careless, I forgot to switch it back. Thank you, Auntie Zhang. I’ll call Qitong right away.”
She patted her head lightly, thinking that she had forgotten something as important as her phone. She was not afraid of missing Qin Qitong’s call. She was only worried about Tang Xiaoyu.
