The man knocked on her door with all his might. This house belonged to her, so even if she left, she would not be in so much pain. He was already determined to break in.
“What are you doing here?”
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him. She did not expect him to look for her. After all, his attitude yesterday made it easy for people to think that it was over for them.
“Where have you been?”
Worry and fear turned into anger in an instant. He really did not know if he was still in her heart.
“PEI GE, what am I to you?”
He could not get through to her phone, did not have the key to her room, and did not know where she often went. Now, he was even doubting his relationship with her. In any case, they had never officially said that they were together.
“Why are you shouting at me?”
She felt wronged. She was just unhappy, so why was she being yelled at? did she do something wrong? She felt even more aggrieved at the thought of how gentle PEI GE had been to others.
Her tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace. She was heartbroken and felt that she was the only one left in this world.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was just worried about you. ”
The man panicked the moment he saw her tears. Only then did he realize how rude his tone was and hurriedly apologized to her.
As if she did not hear him, she stood on the spot and silently cried.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong. I won’t do it again, okay?”
He pulled her into his arms. No matter what happened before, he was in the wrong this time. He should not have yelled at her.
It was only when he got close to her that he caught a whiff of alcohol on her. He found it hard to believe.
She continued crying until she fell asleep in his arms. He looked at her helplessly, thinking that she was really like a child.
“AI.”
Sighing softly, he resigned himself to his fate and rummaged through her bag for the keys. He carried her with one hand and opened the door with the other, sweating from the anxiety.
He placed her on her bed and found a towel to help her wipe her face. Her eyes were already red and slightly swollen.
His hand gently caressed her face. Her brows were still furrowed, and he did not know what unhappy things she was having in her dream. He wanted to caress her brows, but it only made her sleep more unstable.
“No, Auntie. I really like her.”
Soon, she shook her head in pain and mumbled something. The man could only hear it when he got close to her. It turned out that he still had a place in her heart, and his lips could not help but curve up.
Ji Ziming looked around the kitchen and, seeing that there were no ingredients, he covered her with a blanket and left with his keys.
Ji Ziming did not go far. There was a 24-hour convenience store nearby, so he bought some toiletries and some hangover soup for her.
She was still sound asleep when he returned to her house. He slowly fed her the soup before entering the bathroom.
Due to the alcohol, she was sleeping soundly. After washing up, the man lay down beside her and hugged her.
When she felt his warmth, she also snuggled into his embrace, and the two fell asleep in each other’s arms.
The next morning …
“Ah …”
PEI GE screamed as she felt a warm chest. She had no recollection of what had happened yesterday and thought that she had been drunk.
“PEI GE, it’s me.”
He lazily said as he pulled her into his arms again. That night, he also slept very soundly.
“What are you doing here?”
She only calmed down when she heard his voice. Luckily, it was not anyone else.
The corners of his lips curled up. His mood brightened when he saw her reaction.
Under his insistence, she still sent her to her office.
PEI GE scanned her surroundings before alighting from the car, afraid that her colleagues would see her. PEI GE’s car was too eye-catching, and she did not know what would happen. She only wanted to work properly and did not want to cause any trouble.
“What? are we having an affair?”
Ji Ziming found her behavior to be extremely funny. Everyone else was eager to establish a relationship with him, but she was the only one who kept hiding it.
“I’m leaving. ”
She ignored his words and opened the car door. Having an affair was just too unpleasant to hear.
“Shouldn’t you give me a kiss?”
The man pulled her back the moment she opened the car door. He knew that if he did not stop her, she would run away like a rabbit again.
“Mm …”
She patted his chest. The car door was already open, so she did not expect him to make such an animal.
Ji Ziming did not care who saw her. To be more precise, it was better if they saw her because this way, they would not have to spy on her.
“Alright, I’m leaving.”
She got out of the car shyly, and the man could not take his eyes off her. He only started the car and drove off after she disappeared from his sight.
PEI GE ran into the company with a flushed face. Her colleagues could not help but tease her when they saw her, and her heart was filled with happiness.
Ji Ziming’s mood was even better. The entire company No longer had to worry about him. He knew that she cared about him, so he could overcome any difficulties that came his way.
Ji Ziming began to think of ways to persuade his mother. He thought of many ways, but he retorted for himself. His mother was not someone who was easy to negotiate with, or else she would not have gone through so much trouble.
At night …
Ji Ziming took two sips of wine when he reached home and spilled some on his body before he staggered into the house.
“Mom, mom …”
Ji Ziming pretended to be drunk and shouted twice before falling on the sofa. His suit was crumpled, making him look even more serious.
“What’s wrong?”
Gu Sheng walked down the stairs unhurriedly. She did not expect to see such a scene and hurriedly helped Ji Ziming up.
“What the hell are you doing?”
Gu Sheng said a little angrily. No matter what happened, he should not torture his body.
“Mom, I really like her.”
He said painfully, two teardrops still at the corner of his eyes. He was not lying. His heart ached so much that he was about to suffocate at the thought of her leaving him because of the pressure.
“How can you be so useless?”
