“Brother and I will take good care of grandma; you and daddy can head out in peace.”
Just as what An An always said, men were meant to protect women, regardless of their age or closeness to them. The boy’s heroic spirits were in full display right now.
“Sure. Then, your daddy and I will leave now. Behave and obey your grandma, alright?”
Pei Ge was not worried, but if Ran Ran were here today, she would be.
“Mhm. Mommy and daddy should leave quickly so that you can return home early. We’ll be waiting for you here.”
The boy’s intelligent eyes were on his parents. “Daddy, please take good care of my mommy.”
Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes at his eldest son, whose facial features were like his, and smiled. “I got it. Take good care of your grandma, too, alright?”
“Mhm.”
The lad nodded obediently as he headed to his room and brought the gifts he had specially selected for his grandmother in the gift shop earlier. He presented them to Zhang Manhua excitedly. “Grandma, look at the gifts second brother and I got for you. Little sister’s gift is on the table over there; let’s go and have a look.”
The boy’s eyes darted around. His parents were no longer worried with them looking after the older woman.
“Ge Ge, you guys should leave quickly.”
The older woman addressed the two standing at the entrance with satisfaction and joy in her eyes.
Whenever they came back, the house would be lively. She also no longer felt listless and was, in fact, reinvigorated. After all, it was lonely to be by herself. Whenever she felt that aw, one would think that it was a norm and forgot about her earlier self.
Seeing how the three generations were mixing harmoniously, Pei Ge turned to look at Ji Ziming. “Let’s go.”
“Mhm.”
The man nodded and followed her after replacing his footwear.
The black Rolls Royce was like an attractive black horse galloping on the road, unfettered, whereas the ones riding it were currently in a state of anxiety.
“Let’s go straight to the hospital to find a doctor for Ping An and inquire about his condition.”
Addressing the man driving the car, her eyes became transfixed on his side profile which looked especially good under the sun’s glow.
“Okay. A few more turns and we’ll be there.”
His Adam’s apple bobbed with his speech, his voice seemingly coming from his lips instead of his larynx. When the man turned to look at her, the woman’s smitten eyes were discovered by him.
The corner of the man’s lips curled, indicating his good mood. “Have you seen enough?”
“Ah... What?”
Pei Ge quickly retracted her gaze. Right now, she was like a young girl who was afraid of her feelings being discovered by her crush. She sat ramrod straight and looked at the cars ahead and the people on the sidewalks as she asked while feigning nonchalance, “What are you talking about?”
“If you haven’t seen enough, I’ll let you have a good look tonight. How about that?”
The car’s interior was suddenly filled with a heady atmosphere as she was at a loss on how to respond. She could only pretend to be a corpse in the seat while staring straight ahead.
“Why are you avoiding my gaze? Are they better-looking than I am?”
She was unwilling to care about the man as much as she was embarrassed of him finding out that she had nearly drooled over his beauty.
“Woman, why aren’t you talking anymore?”
She finally realized that, when Ji Ziming was feeling pleased, he liked to address her as ‘woman’. When he was gentle, he would address her as ‘Ge Ge’, and when he was infuriated, he would call her by her full name as he felt the urge to swallow her.
“Nothing. I’m just thinking of what to say when we find a doctor for Ping An later.”
She found herself an excuse but realized that it was so bad.
“This time around, I have a doctor in mind.”
The man’s voice came to her, clear, in the passenger seat. This made her unable to resist the temptation as she recalled that scene earlier when his Adam’s apple moved. Her cheeks immediately flushed red. “Why? Is the doctor you mentioned before not good?”
“Something happened to that one, so he’s confined at a hospital right now. How could he attend to our son?”
Alright. She was probably overanalyzing things.
“Then, how’s this one?”
Since he was not Ji Ziming’s first choice, he must have certain shortcomings compared to the other. She was afraid that because of this shortcoming, Ji Chi’s health would be at risk of worsening under that doctor.
As a mother, she wanted to give her child the best.
“Don’t worry; his skills aren’t half bad. He is my friend and, learning of my arrival to the US yesterday, is rushing back from England just to look at our child. He’s done loads of research in child psychology, so don’t worry.”
The man assured her of the doctor’s ability, but she was still worried.
For her son’s sake, she was even willing to accept and endure anything. Of course, for someone to gain this man’s acknowledgement, he was probably not simple.
The black Rolls Royce arrived at the hospital entrance in a blur. Pei Ge seemed to have spotted a familiar car in this sea of expensive vehicles, but since it was quite far, she could not be so sure. Still, with it being parked there showed that the owner was either rich or did not have a simple background. She began to doubt her eyes upon this recollection.
She had lived in this city for quite some time yet had not known about this prestigious hospital’s existence in all that time.
“Let’s head in.”
Ji Ziming removed the car keys from the ignition, and when he turned, spotted the woman staring blankly at the cars outside. “What’s wrong? Which car do you fancy? I’ll buy you one.”
“No. I seem to have spotted a familiar figure of someone.”
Pei Ge turned to explain.
“Familiar?”
He narrowed his eyes and frowned. “You saw someone familiar?”
“No. I just feel that that person’s figure is familiar,” explained the woman helplessly. She had known long ago that her man could not stand others catching her attention, so she slightly regretted telling him about this.
He held the back of her head and kissed her passionately on the lips.
After a long time, the man finally let go of her lips.
