Seeing si linna sitting by the bed with a hurt expression, he continued,””I just sweated a lot. I want to take a shower and rest. It’s really not convenient for me to entertain you. Please go back.” Ji Ziming was already standing at the door, looking like he was chasing away a guest.
Si linna no longer had an excuse to stay, so she could only force a smile and reluctantly stand up from the bed to walk toward him.
When she walked to his side, she still didn’t forget to say,””Actually, I just wanted to see you. I haven’t been to the company for so many days and I really can’t hold back my longing for you. I’m actually relieved to see that you’re fine. Remember to rest well and don’t go out in the wind again. Then …”
After si linna finished speaking, she turned her pretty face to the left and right, but it was full of disappointment and unwillingness. Then, she raised her thumb and pointed in the direction of the door, and the corner of her mouth curled up. “I’ll go back first then. Have a good rest. I’ll see you at the company.”
The man merely looked at her with his cold eyes and, with his pale face, silently nodded to send her off.
Si linna gently closed the door and took a deep breath. A thin layer of mist had already appeared in her beautiful eyes, and there seemed to be traces of tears at the corners of her eyes. However, she adjusted her breathing and sniffed as if to comfort herself, forcibly holding back the tears that were about to burst out.
Just as they were about to reach the first floor, they saw Auntie Zhang conversing with PEI GE in the living room.
“He actually came over?” Si linna muttered hesitantly as she looked in the direction of PEI GE and Auntie Zhang.
It turned out that after sending the two off, she had to deal with some matters that Ji Ziming had instructed her to.
As she was alone in the office and thinking about how Ji Ziming was still lying at home, she could not focus on work. She was planning to visit Ji Ziming after work, but she received si linna’s call at four in the afternoon.
Si linna had initially called Ji Ziming’s phone, but no one picked up, so she called the office to ask about Cheng Qian’s interview. She did not expect that PEI GE would be the one to answer the call.
The moment si linna heard that Ji Ziming was sick, she rushed over to the Ji family’s house, which resulted in the scene of her being rejected.
After a while, si linna looked at the tightly shut door behind her. Her bright eyes suddenly darted around, and with a snort, she took the last few steps down the staircase, swaying her slender waist in a flirtatious manner, and walked toward PEI GE and Auntie Zhang in the living room like the mistress of the house.
At this moment, Auntie Zhang was still earnestly saying to her,””Ah, the young master must have had a heart attack because he didn’t rest well last night. I wanted to wake him up at noon today, but he fainted as soon as I opened the door. Fortunately, I found out early. The family doctor said that if I had been any later, he might have been muddled from the fever!”
“It’s that serious?” Filled with guilt, she replied,””It’s my fault. When I received CEO Ji’s call this morning, I should’ve insisted on calling a doctor to check on him. It’s my fault.”
With that, she lowered her head with red eyes and a look of self-blame.
Madam Zhang’s heart ached as she looked at the woman who resembled the young Madam. Although her heart had trembled when she had opened the door for her, she was shocked that she looked so similar to the Ji family’s young mistress.
However, as PEI GE insisted on her stand and explained to Auntie Zhang, the latter was finally willing to believe that this woman, who looked exactly like her, was not the Ji family’s young Madam.
Just as Auntie Zhang was frowning and about to say something to comfort the heartbroken and self-blaming PEI GE, si linna walked up to them, and the three of them looked at each other.
“Miss Pei Pei, you’re here too? Are you here to see Ziming?” Si linna asked in a coquettish voice. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed past her bright eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
Hearing si linna’s question, PEI GE immediately kept her emotions in check and lifted her eyes, which were still red from earlier.””Miss si linna, you …”
PEI GE knew that si linna had come to visit Ji Ziming after her phone call, but she did not expect her to still be here when the sky had already turned dark. If she had known earlier, she would have loitered outside a little longer just now. That way, she wouldn’t have to meet si linna here awkwardly.
“Oh, I called the company because I couldn’t get through to Ziming’s phone this afternoon! So, Ziming was resting because he was sick. When he woke up, he immediately called me back. “On the phone, he told me that he wanted me to come over. I was on vacation and was about to go to the beach with my friends. However, we’re all colleagues, after all, and I do have some business to talk to him about. By the way, I’m sure you’ve heard about the spokesperson?” Si linna said with exultation, her words full of pride.
Auntie Zhang and PEI GE frowned at this, but when si linna asked her a question, PEI GE nodded.””Yes, I know. I’ve seen Cheng Qian’s information in the morning. You were the one who introduced him.”
Si linna grinned.”That’s right. I thought I’d just come to see him and ask about the interview.” Who knew that perhaps it’s because a sick person would be especially fragile? when he saw me, he actually held my hand and didn’t want me to leave. ”
After saying this, si linna covered her mouth and chuckled. She looked as if Ji Ziming would not be able to live without her.
She did not know how to reply. The tears that had just receded in her eyes suddenly filled up again as she bit her cherry-red lips lightly.
Only Madam Zhang, who was more experienced, seemed to be able to tell at a glance. This fashionable lady, si linna, had been showing off in front of PEI GE.
Hence, she took the initiative to speak up. For some reason, she felt that even if PEI GE said that she was not the Ji family’s former young Madam, the familiarity she felt at first sight made her feel that she should stand by her side and protect her.
