Chapter 1781: It is Not Nice but Very Nice
Ji Ziming placed the cup of tea in front of Pei Ge and said in a gentle and doting voice, “Ge Ge, I was wrong. Can you drink this tea first? This tea is good for your health. I specially made it for you this morning. Do you want to try it?”
“You cooked it?”
Pei Ge blinked her eyes suspiciously and asked, “Why am I so unwilling to believe it? Are the things you made drinkable?”
“Are you discriminating against my cooking?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened and his gaze on Pei Ge became even calmer.
“I don’t dare to. It’s just that I can’t believe that CEO Ji would personally brew tea for me and treat my body well.”
Pei Ge raised her eyebrows slightly as she looked at Ji Ziming but did not dare to voice her disbelief.
“Try it. If you take a sip and think it’s okay, then continue drinking. If not, then spit it out.”
It was rare for Ji Ziming to explain to Pei Ge in a good mood. The tea in his hand was still steaming.
In fact, this was the fourth cup of tea that Ji Ziming had made. He, who had never been to the kitchen before, was thinking of having a cup of his tea when Pei Ge woke up. He thought that if he could let Pei Ge taste his cooking after a night of fatigue, it would be something that every lover would wish to do.
“Okay, then I’ll drink a little.”
She nodded and took the cup from him.
The light yellow porcelain was carved with exquisite patterns, and the tulip’s l.u.s.ter was exactly the same as the teapot.
She took a small sip. The taste was not bad, the fragrance was strong, and the texture was on the same level. The only flaw was that it was slightly sweeter.
“How is it?”
Ji Ziming was looking forward to it. If he could not even get a pa.s.s on the fragrant tea that he had been making, it would be too disappointing.
Pei Ge placed her cup on the table and looked at the focus in Ji Ziming’s eyes. She actually felt that she should try to figure him out.
“I don’t think it’s okay…”
Pei Ge smacked her lips. She looked like a warm bear wrapped in a blanket.
“Does it taste bad?”
Ji Ziming asked with concern, but when he saw Pei Ge’s expression, he immediately suspected that she was lying.
“It’s not nice.”
She laughed when she saw the disappointment on his face. “It’s not nice, but very nice.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened and his gaze became sharper. Pei Ge, who was wrapped in the blanket, felt that it was really winter. It was hard to imagine whether she was facing a person or a huge air-conditioner that was constantly cooling her down.
“What’s wrong? Have you learned to lie to me now?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened and there was a little comfort in them.
“I didn’t. I learned it from you.”
The two quarreled on the bed for a long time before Pei Ge reluctantly changed her clothes and washed up. Although her body was still sore, it was much better than when she had just woken up.
Pei Ge had just reached the first floor when she heard Ran Ran’s voice coming from the first floor’s washroom.
“Big brother, what you did is wrong. You should take off your clothes first.”
Ran Ran’s voice was like a mature adult as she methodically guided An An and little Ji Chi to bathe the bear.
The brown teddy bear wore a pair of red suspenders and the other whit bunny wore a pink dress which was in Ping An’s hands.
“Ran Ran, this rabbit’s clothes are spoiled.”
An An turned around on purpose. As he had taken off the clothes too forcefully for the rabbit, just a few seconds ago, when Ran Ran was speaking, the clothes were torn.
“In what way?”
Ran Ran widened her eyes in shock. What exactly was wrong? This little bunny was specially given to her by Qu Xiujie in R City, so how could it be broken after taking a shower?
“Here.”
An An specially pointed out the part where the little rabbit’s clothes were ruined for Ran Ran to see. The three children’s hands were filled with foam, and Ran Ran’s heart ached as tears of grievance filled her eyes. “But I saw that it was fine just now, how could it be broken?”
Seeing Ran Ran’s tears, An An could not help but panic. “Sister, if this breaks, I’ll compensate you with another one, alright?”
Ji Chi washed his hands, dried his hands, and took the white rabbit from Ran Ran. His eyes were clear and sincere. “You can buy another one of these clothes, or you can get grandma to sew it again. It’s fine, sister. Don’t worry.”
“Really?”
Ran Ran raised her head and looked at little Ji Chi with eyes full of hope. She asked again, “Can you really do it? Second brother, don’t lie to me.”
“It’s fine. Look at this dress; it can still be mended, but the quality of this dress is too poor.”
Ji Chi said thoughtfully as he looked into Ran Ran’s eyes and nodded seriously. “Don’t worry, little sister. This can really be done. If you don’t believe me, go ask grandma if she has any ideas.”
“Okay. Let’s go ask grandma after we’re done showering.”
Ran Ran could finally relax. She hummed a tune as she sat on the chair and continued was.h.i.+ng the teddy bears. They were originally clean dolls and were not dirty, but the three children still washed them seriously.
Although Pei Ge could not say how serious they were, she was still very touched. These three children did not make her worry at all when she was busy. They were all unafraid when they were together.
It seemed that without Ji Ziming and Pei Ge by their side, the three children would be able to live well. However, they were, after all, children. The hard part of Pei Ge’s heart was already filled up by these three lively and cute little faces. If not for Ji Ziming’s intentional ‘torture’, she would not just be standing at the door and looking at the three children in the bathroom.
“Mommy, why are you here?”
An An’s sharp eyes spotted Pei Ge standing at the door and he laughed. “Mommy, have you eaten?”
“Mommy… hasn’t eaten yet.”
After was.h.i.+ng up, Pei Ge went downstairs to prepare a simple bowl of noodles in the kitchen. It was only because she was attracted by the three children that she walked over.
“Mommy, when grandma left, she told us that she left you some food in the kitchen to wait for you to eat.”
An An stood up and his hands were covered in fine foam. It was obvious that there was too much detergent in the basin.
