Finally, when the three children were done and had their dinner, Ji Ziming opened the door to Pei Ge’s room with his pajamas.
Pei Ge was lying on the bed in a pink spaghetti strap pajamas with a book in her hand. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she did not even lift her eyelids as she asked softly, “You’re here?”
She knew that he would not let her off easily no matter what.
Indeed, within five minutes of her shower, Ji Ziming rushed over with his pajamas.
“You know I’m coming?”
Ji Ziming’s voice was low as he threw the pajamas in his hands onto the bed, right at Pei Ge’s heart.
“You… Mmm…”
Pei Ge raised her head to look at Ji Ziming, but before she could finish speaking, Ji Ziming quickly covered her lips with his.
Her lips were ‘invaded’ by someone and even her pink spaghetti strap pajamas were ripped off by Ji Ziming.
“I hugged them today. Did you have a good laugh?”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled into an evil smile that made Pei Ge’s heart turn cold.
“I’m not. I’m not. I just look like you’re having a hard time.”
She quickly explained. Although the truth was as he said, it did not mean that she had to accept it.
“Oh? You think I had a hard time?”
Ji Ziming narrowed his deep eyes at Pei Ge with a dangerous glint in them. However, Pei Ge, who was pinned under him, did not have the ability to retaliate. Under his two arms, she was completely exposed to him.
“No, it wasn’t hard on you at all. They’re too heavy, right, they’re just too heavy.”
Pei Ge looked at Ji Ziming, not knowing how to find a reason to deal with him.
From the looks of it, no matter how many excuses she came up with, they could not extinguish the anger in his heart.
“Oh? So you don’t think I had a hard time?”
His voice was low and seductive.
“No, no.”
She suddenly realized that she had fallen into Ji Ziming’s trap. No matter what she said, it was wrong.
After thinking calmly for a while, she said, “You’re not tired. You’re the most powerful man in the world.”
By the time she finished speaking, Ji Ziming was already beaming.
Suddenly, Ji Ziming switched on all the lights in the room. The room became even hotter in the evening, as though it was daytime. Even the people in the room were panting heavily.
“Then I’ll let you experience the most powerful man in the world.”
His lips curled up. No matter what she said, he would not let her off tonight.
By the time they were done, it was already two o’clock in the night. Pei Ge lay weakly on Ji Ziming’s chest. Hearing his heartbeat, Hao Ran realized that everything was so real, so real that she almost forgot the news that Tang Xiaoyu had yet to find.
“Ziming, let me ask you something.”
She closed her eyes and asked.
“Okay, ask away.”
Ji Ziming placed one hand behind his head and the other on Pei Ge’s shoulder. His skin was smooth.
“Is there still no news of Xiaoyu?”
“No.”
Ji Ziming replied calmly, but his hand on Pei Ge’s pink arm paused.
“Why haven’t we found him yet? Could it be that your subordinates didn’t put in the effort?”
She looked up at him.
Ji Ziming’s subordinates were all elites among elites, so how could they not have found Tang Xiaoyu? If it was not because his subordinates were incompetent, then it was because Ji Ziming did not take this matter seriously, but Pei Ge would rather believe the former.
“I won’t. I know what to do with my subordinates. Don’t worry. If there’s any news, I’ll tell you immediately. Don’t you want to believe me too?”
Ji Ziming’s sharp words made Pei Ge lower her head and stop talking.
After waiting for quite a while, he did not hear her speak. Instead, he heard her snoring lightly.
Ji Ziming turned off the light and helped Pei Ge pull the blanket up. He was calculating how many times Pei Ge had come to ask him about Tang Xiaoyu.
The next day, Ji Ziming and Pei Ge were woken up by the emergency ringtone. The person who called was the captain of the bodyguards who was protecting Qu Xiujie in the hospital. As this matter was urgent, they had to inform Ji Ziming immediately.
“CEO, Mr. Qu was attacked last night.”
The bodyguard’s voice was calm. If Qu Xiujie was not sitting on the bed and playing games, he would have been worried that his job would not be safe.
“And now?”
Hearing that it was about Qu Xiujie, Ji Ziming regained his senses.
“Tell me clearly, how is he now?”
Because of his actions, Pei Ge woke up as well. She looked at Ji Ziming’s expression sleepily and her voice became lazy. However, when she heard his serious tone, she immediately understood everything.
“CEO, don’t worry. It’s a good thing that we were here last night. Mr. Qu is fine and not injured.”
The bodyguard chief wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He did not have many chances to interact with Ji Ziming directly, but every time they did, he would break out in cold sweat and feel as though he was about to lose a wisp of his soul.
Qu Xiujie picked up the newspaper on the bedside table and read it out loud.
“So, he’s fine now?”
Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes and placed his arm on Pei Ge’s shoulder, his actions elegant and charming.
“Yes, CEO.”
The bodyguard chief nodded solemnly, afraid that Ji Ziming would not understand his words.
“Got it. Anything else?”
Ji Ziming heaved a sigh of relief. If anything were to happen to Qu Xiujie, it would not be a simple matter. It was not that he had not experienced Old lady Qu’s methods before, but compared to Ji Ziming, it was nothing.
“No, CEO.”
The leader of the bodyguards heard Qu Xiujie’s loud news report.
“Yeah.”
Ji Ziming hung up the phone and his voice became gentler. Rubbing the beauty in his arms, he became excited.
“What’s wrong? Will something happen to Mr. Qu?”
Pei Ge laid on Ji Ziming’s chest with a lazy gaze.
