Chapter 1706: You can only be my lazy pig
Pei Ge nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll listen to you. I’ll let you handle this; I believe in He Yun’s capabilities, too.”
She trusted that subordinate of Ji Ziming. Since she first met him, that guy had always been loyal to his boss. Although he committed mistakes from time to time, he was still serious in completing his tasks.
“Alright, I’ll arrange it, and when the time comes, you can choose anew. Woman, it’s time for your shower.”
He leaned on her neck, and her body could not stand his control anymore.
“I’ll go take a shower on my own.”
She wanted to stand up. Only then did she realize that her waist was tightly wrapped by a pair of arms, for she could not free herself from it.
“Let go.”
She softly chided. The smile in her eyes disappeared and was replaced by annoyance.
Unbeknown to her, she had terrified him this time.
“Don’t want; I’ll help you shower, alright?”
His voice was gentle as he acted petty.
“Not great; I don’t want you to help me at all.”
Although she knew that her injury should not come into contact with water, she would rather shower by herself, without his help, as that would let her get it done fast.
“What to do if I insist on helping you shower?”
When the man left her neck, he lifted his head and looked at her. “Ge Ge, just let me do it; I promise not to touch you inappropriately.”
She did not trust his words and would rather believe that her injury was untreatable than believe his words.
“Don’t want; if you’re not going to let me go, I’m going to...”
Her eyes darted about as she pouted. She had never imagined what she would do if she did not agree to letting Ji Ziming help her shower. Her usual threat no longer worked their magic on him.
“What will you do? Not let me get on the bed?”
He chuckled as though he knew what Pei Ge was preparing to do to him next. She was his woman, so he would definitely know what she wanted to do.
“That’s one. So hurry up and let me go. If not, you—”
“I’ll die a very terrible death. Sure, let me die a terrible death.”
He decided to go all out. Gaining her trust was really not easy.
“Then, you can give it a try.”
The woman made this casual remark but was carried by him. Even her slippers fell onto the carpet with a soft plop. She grabbed his pajamas’ lapel tightly as she was suddenly lifted in the air.
The gray silk pajamas had no crease. Her arms clung onto his neck as she said nervously, “Ziming, can you not help me shower? My injuries haven’t recovered.”
“But I want to.”
He finally spoke his mind.
“I know but wait a while more when I get better.”
Pei Ge relented eventually. Seeing the look of hurt on his face, she knew that this man was doing his best to hold back for her. Still, she could not fulfill his wishes before her injury recovered.
She later knew that even if she was willing, he would not really touch her, for he really only wanted to help her shower. At first, she could not believe that this man was the ‘beast’ who had tortured her in bed until the wee hours of the morning before.
Afterward, the two fell into deep sleep amid their steady breathing. Pei Ge slept especially well that night while lying in his arms.
The morning sun shone through the windows and cast its rays on bed. Gradually, the couple woke up from their restful slumber.
Her phone rang, and Ji Ziming took it with his long arm. His eyes opened fully when he saw that the caller was Madam Ji.
“Mom, why are you calling so early?”
He did not understand why his mother would be up so early in the morning.
“It’s not me but Ge Ge’s uncle. We’re currently in R City. Wasn’t he a knight in shiny armor last night? The beautiful lady whom he saved last night won this city’s major modeling competition and talked about that old bloke yesterday. Now, we’ve become instant celebrities over here.”
It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but he could sense that his mother was grumbling in worry, instead.
“Never mind, mom. Don’t worry about it; I’ll settle it.”
He understood what his mother meant. He could only sigh that Qu Xiujie was indeed a treasure knife that did not age. Even the model whom he rescued emerged to become R City’s fashion contest winner. This was clearly the typical story of a man getting rich after a rich beauty fell in love with him, but Qu Xiujie probably had no idea what this meant for him.
Thinking of everything that guy had done in the past, he began to suspect if the old fella was still the same individual.
After hanging up the call with his mother, he picked up his phone and called He Yun.
“He Yun, go and check the background of R City’s fashion competition winner. Also, teach her how to keep her mouth shut.”
His voice was as frosty as the chilly morning breeze, making him seem like the grim reaper.
“Understood, sir.”
The subordinate knew very well what his boss meant. Even if he were to spend the freezing night on the table, which he had just done, he must complete the task assigned to him.
“Mhm.”
Ji Ziming acknowledged his acquiescence and hung up just as Pei Ge, who was in his arms, woke up, too.
“So early?”
She rubbed her eyes, her face blushing. It was a good night’s sleep for her.
“Mhm, yes. Only a lazy pig like you wakes up late.”
He caressed her hair, and she dodged it at once. He was hugging her before she fell asleep, and when she woke up, she was still in his arms, albeit in a different direction.
“I’m not a lazy pig.”
She pouted, then completely covered herself with the blanket. Ji Ziming’s lips curled as he looked at this woman who was escaping reality like an ostrich. He flipped open the blanket and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead before saying, “You’re a lazy pig, but I like you still. In any case, you can only be my lazy pig. My little woman, do you get it?”
