Chapter 1797: What a Fool
Ji Ziming turned to look at Pei Ge, who was sleeping, and his eyes shone brightly. This little woman was still so brave. If anything happened to the people around her, she would rush out to protect them.
Although she was pet.i.te, she seemed to have endless magical powers. No matter how much time pa.s.sed, Ji Ziming would always remember a woman like her who had the most admirable ability.
Back then, she had already grown into a powerful mother and wife.
“What a fool.”
Ji Ziming chuckled but sped up his return to Ji family’s villa. The moment the car drove in, Auntie Zhang ran out and said that Zhang Manhua had brought Qu Xiujie to Ji family’s villa as a guest and was waiting for Pei Ge to settle some matters.
“Shh, Ge Ge is asleep.”
Ji Ziming placed his finger between his lips and signaled Auntie Zhang to speak softly.
Auntie Zhang quickly shut her mouth and looked into Ji Ziming’s eyes. “CEO, Madam Zhang is in our house. I don’t know what to tell you.”
“I’ll come down later. I’ll send Pei Ge upstairs to rest. She hasn’t had a good rest in a long time.”
Ji Ziming carried Pei Ge and walked in from the first floor. Auntie Zhang, who was beside him, mimicked his actions and signaled for Mother Ji and Zhang Manhua to keep quiet in the living room.
The people in the living room nodded, and Zhang Manhua’s heart ached even more as she looked at Pei Ge, who was in Ji Ziming’s embrace. Pei Ge, who was lying in Ji Ziming’s embrace, looked very lovable when she slept quietly.
Her daughter had put in so much effort for this family, yet she was unable to resolve the root of the problem at home. She even felt that she might not be able to solve the simplest problem.
“In-law, why did you ask Ge Ge to go back to the house? Did something happen in the house? Or did something happen to Mao Nana? If anything happens, you can tell me.”
“Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that I miss An An and Ping An. These three kids have been with me for a while, so I really miss them.”
Zhang Manhua said with a smile. Actually, it was only because Charlie’s butler had entrusted them with this task. They were unable to contact Pei Ge this morning and could only leave the patient at home to recuperate before coming to the Ji family’s villa. It was for no other reason than to get closer to the three children.
Butler Charlie still missed children. At home, he could always sit on the sofa in a daze or practice his new magic. When he saw the three children again, he would make sure that he performed to their heart’s content.
“Is that so? Isn’t it simple? With just a call from you, I can bring the three children to the house to look for you. There’s no need for you guys to come over personally.”
Mother Ji did not mind it at all. It had been a long time since their family was on friendly terms. Father Ji even rushed to the company to see if he could get any suggestions or help from his old friend.
Mother Ji was bored at home, so she could only bring the three children to play in the backyard. As long as it was games that the children would play, Mother Ji could understand the games too.
“How can we do that? If we miss the three children, we’ll naturally come over. We don’t need you guys to go over. Besides, we’re all family, so there’s no need to be so clear about it. In-law, don’t you think so?”
Zhang Manhua smiled brightly at Mother Ji.
Perhaps because they were all women, they were able to hide some of the things that they had yet to say. It was also because of this that they cherished it more.
“Yes, you’re right. I have to listen to you.”
Mother Ji looked at Zhang Manhua with gentle eyes.
After Ji Ziming sent Pei Ge back to her room and covered her with a blanket, he went downstairs to the living room on the first floor.
Seeing that the two mothers were still chatting and laughing, the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious. He did not know that the two mothers could already get along so well.
“Mom, why are you looking for Pei Ge? She hasn’t had a good rest in the past two days, so I let her rest. If you need anything, come find me.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened as he exuded a cold aura. He was totally different from the Ji Ziming who was driving earlier.
“What’s the matter? Your in-law misses your three children, so she brought the two adults who miss the children over to play. You haven’t had a good rest in a long time, so go upstairs and rest. It’s already so late today.”
There was a hint of heartache in Mother Ji’s eyes as she looked at Ji Ziming.
“I’m fine; it’s mainly Ge Ge. She’s been worrying too much these few days.”
Ji Ziming nodded and sat on the sofa, some distance away from Mother Ji and Zhang Manhua.
“That’s right, Ge Ge. I’m indeed worried about you. How is it now?”
Zhang Manhua asked with concern. She was well aware of her son-in-law’s capabilities and knew that he would not be easily defeated by an ‘elevator’ incident. However, she also knew of his relations.h.i.+p with Pei Ge and that they would not be separated no matter what.
“It’s already settled. We’re just waiting for the fish to take the bait. Mom, don’t worry. Trust me.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened further. After a short exchange in the living room, Zhang Manhua felt that she had not misjudged him. The more she thought that her woman had good taste, the more she felt that these two could hold up the entire capital.
That was because he was Ji Ziming and could do anything. There was nothing in the capital that could hide from him.
“Alright, mom. You guys chat in the living room. I’ll go up to see Pei Ge. She had been too tired.”
Ji Ziming also felt heartache for Pei Ge. The more Zhang Manhua looked at her, the more she felt that her woman had met a man who loved her so much.
“Okay, hurry up and go. Our moms have secrets that we want to tell you, so you’re a hindrance here. Hurry up and go up.”
Mother Ji nodded in agreement as she watched Qu Xiujie stand up. Under the reflection of the chandelier, the shadow at the foot of his tall body could not be seen as though he was born for this world.
Ji Ziming went upstairs and the two mothers on the first floor started discussing.
