Chapter 1620: You have me and that is enough.
Ji Ziming looked at the woman as his charismatic voice rang out. “Don’t worry about it. The people in the company aren’t having free meals. Since I’m not around, this is the right time to test their adaptability.”
“Why do you still want to test them when you’re so good already?”
Pei Ge rolled her eyes at him, and upon seeing his dark eyes, she slowly drowned in him. Just one look, and she knew that he had predicted it long ago.
Even when she went to look for that person yesterday, the man was already there, waiting for her.
“Do you think that Qu Jingwan should leave our family?”
She inquired softly, unsure if he would agree to it right away, but when she saw that he looked into her eyes suddenly, she finally knew what a hated person that lady was to this man.
“You’ve finally thought of chasing her away; I’ve wanted to do that long ago. You’re my woman, so why should you tolerate her? Plus, I’ve never thought of marrying her, and even if she’s my fiancée in name, she is not someone who can be my fiancée.”
His promise etched itself in the deepest part of her heart.
“I know. I’ll settle it as it goes. I promise to settle her quickly and send her back to her family.”
Pei Ge lowered her head. All of a sudden, she thought of something and lifted her blushing cheeks. Her blinking lashes were a butterfly’s fluttering wings.
“Who do you think Mr. Qu is? I sensed that he was looking at me in a weird but familiar way, though I couldn’t explain it.”
“Familiar?”
Ji Ziming’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she...
“That person is Qu Jingwan’s paternal uncle.”
He drawled in his deep voice for her to understand the relationship between those two people.
“If he’s different from the other members of that family, why is he staying there still?”
Pei Ge could not understand it. If Qu Xiujie really hated his parents that much, why must they stay together? Also, judging from how he dressed today, he had the means to stay on his own, so why should he stay with people whom he hated to the core?
“You don’t understand. Their family is much more complicated, and Old Lady Qu was a mistress promoted to a wife. Only their family members know of the complicated relationships.”
Ji Ziming was keeping a lookout.
Qu Xiujie said that Pei Ge resembled someone, but he had been with Pei Ge for so long; other than her mother, he did not find her similar to anyone else. If there was something going on between that guy and Zhang Manhua, it seemed that it was already too late.
When they were in America, he heard about Zhang Manhua’s relationship, and as her future son-in-law, he was fully supportive of her choice.
Everyone had the right to a new life, and life was not a short few decades, neither was love a promise never to get married again. When they met their true love, they would cherish it, put secularity aside, and distance themselves from the noise in their minds.
That love would be pure and beautiful.
Zhang Manhua could do it, but Ji Ziming could not do it.
After meeting Pei Ge in his life, he could no longer accept any other woman.
To him, she was the best and most precious person.
“I’ve heard of this before, but I didn’t expect Qu Jingwan’s mother not to be Old Master Qu’s biological daughter. I often heard of that family’s dirty linen but chose not to speak about it.”
He lowered his head and gently planted a kiss on her forehead. His voice was low and charismatic. “What does that matter? You have me and that’s enough.”
“No, not enough.”
She playfully laughed at his words.
“Hm?”
He raised his brows and looked at her with doubt and love in his eyes.
“I still have my children.”
When he heard her say that, his lips curled up.
“I know; you still have us.”
He reached out and pinched her face. “Then, am I ranked first?”
He was actually being jealous, but he seemed more good-looking like this.
“Do you want to be the first?”
Pei Ge did not wish to please him on purpose.
“Hmph? Could it be that I’m not?”
“Then, are you?”
Their exchange confounded him, but he quickly got over it. The blanket was lifted, and she was quickly pinned down by him; even the air in her mouth was swallowed by him.
“Ziming, wu—”
Her lips were sealed by his.
They shared a passionate moment thereafter. He only let her go after he had had enough.
Meanwhile, Old Lady Qu, who was in the Qu Group, was throwing a fit in the office. She looked ferocious—nothing like her usual gentle and caring self. If Old Master Qu were to see this sight, he would suspect if he had been blind.
“Good-for-nothing! Bunch of good-for-nothings! Why do I need you guys?!”
She swept all the porcelain ware on the table as her assistant stood at the side with her head dipped. She had seen the elderly woman throw a fit, but this was on a whole new level.
That was because she was short of one step to success.
Not only did she expose herself, she even lost 10 million yuan.
Anybody would be unable to take it, let alone her.
“Madam, calm your anger in case you hurt yourself. Let me pour you some tea.”
Seeing her panting in the chair, the assistant hurriedly walked to the pantry table and poured the elderly woman a cup of her favorite Biluochun tea.
Before the assistant could approach her, Old Lady Qu snatched the porcelain cup and hurled on the white wall not far away. The green tea leaves and mild green cup appeared fresh and beautiful against the white wall.
All of a sudden, everything was reduced to nothing.
“What, do you think that I’m old and can’t order you guys anymore?”
Rage surged through her voice; she had never expected that she would be easily trapped by a gangster. All her intelligence and rationality became nothing.
