“CEO Ji, what’s the point of forcing me like this? I don’t remember anything that happened between us. In my eyes, you’re just a stranger. Even if there’s any relationship between us, it’s just a superior and subordinate relationship. At most, it’s a relationship of grudges! “Besides, I don’t have long to live. You …” She was speaking with conviction.
“MHM, MHM …” PEI GE was truly flustered this time. The thought of the sky already turning dark and of them being the only two people in this huge villa made her heart feel as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
PEI GE had nowhere else to run. When she reached the edge of the pool, she staggered and, in an instant, water splashed everywhere as the two fell into the pool.
“Ah … Help … Help, I can’t swim!” She cried out involuntarily as she slapped the surface of the water with both hands.
“Pei Pei!” The moment he fell into the water, all the cells in his body were awoken by the bone-chilling cold of the pool. He flopped a few times, steadied his feet, and immediately looked around for PEI GE’s figure.
His heart broke when he saw her struggling in the cold water. The anger he felt earlier dissipated as he quickly swam toward her.
Fortunately, they did not fall too far and the water was not deep, so she was quickly pulled ashore.
However, perhaps because the weather was too cold and the water was too icy, she began to lose consciousness. Her body trembled like a sieve, and her voice began to tremble.”Cold … I … Feel so cold!” After she finished speaking, she clenched her small hands into fists and slowly curled up.
Ji Ziming’s body was also drenched, and his wet hair was swaying freely on his handsome face. Under his sharp brows, his good-looking eyes were fixed on the frozen beauty in his arms.
“Pei Pei! Pei Pei, how are you?” His heart was about to break when he heard her mumble ‘cold’. He suddenly regretted his impulsive kiss earlier.
Not only did he cause her to fall into the cold swimming pool, but it also seemed that the exquisitely made diamond necklace would be hard to find in the pool.
It was an early winter night, and a gust of cold wind blew across his face.
He lowered his head and narrowed his eyes helplessly. His large hands were clenched into fists in frustration as he repeatedly shrugged the petite shoulders of the woman in his arms.”Pei Pei, wake up! It’s my fault, my bad! Hang in there, I’ll bring you into the house to keep you warm!”
His voice was a little hoarse, worried that her already thin body would catch a cold. At this moment, he leaned to the side and carried her to the room on the second floor. Turning on the heater, he filled the room with hot water and carefully placed her in the bathtub.
After a long while, he pursed his lips and felt at ease when he saw her eyelashes fluttering in the bathtub filled with hot water. He then held her hand and fell into deep thought.
“Pei Pei, what can I do to get you back? You don’t even know the meaning behind that necklace, so how can you deny my feelings for you and my past?” He looked at the woman in the bathtub with dim eyes, knowing that he did not have an answer to this question.
He felt that he was a little ridiculous, so he gently moved his good-looking thin lips and reached out to touch her forehead and hands. After making sure that her body temperature was warm, he got up and carried her from the bathtub to the big bed in the room. He took off her wet clothes and wrapped her in a sleeping robe.
She was like a sleeping baby the entire time. After checking her temperature and confirming that she did not have a fever, he carefully covered her with the blanket and continued to walk to the pool with a dead heart. Under the moonlight and the cold wind, the surface of the pool had returned to its usual calm state. He resolutely jumped in and began searching around the pool.
In the cold night wind, Shen Feng was also standing by the window in the old villa. The dim yellow street lamp outside scattered some light on his handsome face, making him look a little blurred.
“Big brother, sister-in-law’s phone has been turned off. Cheng Ningyuan and I can’t pinpoint her exact location for now. Should I go to the villas under his name and do a carpet search? “If there’s a need, I’ll immediately …” Huang tie knocked on the door and entered. It was already 10 pm, but there was still no news of PEI GE. He could tell that Shen Feng’s expression was not good, so he did not know if he should continue.
Shen Feng squinted his bloodshot eyes and looked at the cold and lonely street lamp outside the window,”No need. Just let Cheng Ningyuan continue to locate it.”
“Big brother, aren’t you worried that sister-in-law will be …” When he said this, he suspiciously glanced at Shen Feng, who was standing upright by the window, and suddenly paused.”Were you tricked by Ji Ziming?”
Shen Feng pretended to be calm and said,”Pei Pei told me before that I should trust her when it comes to entering the Ji group and getting close to Ji Ziming. I naturally shouldn’t let my thoughts run wild here. She must have her own plans.” Don’t worry, just let her do these things. If we still can’t locate him by tomorrow, we’ll search again. It’s getting late, so you should rest early after you’re done. ”
A trace of shock flashed across Huang tie’s eyes. He felt that the trust between Shen Feng and PEI GE had already reached such a level, which was really admirable.
The shock in his eyes was quickly replaced by a trace of joy and gratitude. He turned around and walked to Cheng Ningyuan’s room to relay the things Shen Feng had told him in full detail,””Hey, kid, big brother said that if we can’t locate it today, then forget it. We’ll continue tomorrow. If you don’t have anything else to do, you should go and rest. ”
