Chapter 1657: My bodyguards grew up eating carrots.

No matter how much regret Xu Yansong had, he was unable to tell it to Sire Nine—the man who had made him feel fear from the first look. The latter’s bloodthirsty aura made him want to resist, but he could not. In fact, he did not have the courage to leave the place.

“Fine, then. We won’t terminate your contract. Tell me first: Why are you here looking for me?”

Sire Nine went straight to the point, not intending to continue wasting time with Xu Yansong. The sharp glint in his eyes did not escape the latter’s gaze.

“Yes, I am here to ask for something.”

Xu Yansong looked up. The light in his eyes was not diminished by the old man’s menacing aura.

“What is it?”

A look of surprise flashed across Sire Nine’s eyes. There were few people who would dare come to ask him something this openly. In fact, no one could even barge into his house. Of course, he did tacitly have his guards not stop this chap.

After a discussion, Ji Ziming remained silent, while Qu Xiujie and Pei Ge became more comfortable to each other as they spoke. The man sat before the two and watched them, finding their voices so similar.

“Hey, what do you think?”

The woman looked at him. Her eyes shone with confusion as she tugged at his sleeve, pulling him back from his reverie.

“About what?”

Calmness flashed across his eyes.

“About the plan mentioned just then.”

Pei Ge felt a bit exasperated. She did not know what he was hiding, but she felt that the sight was rather familiar.

“It’s good. I trust you guys’ decision. Since the plan has been confirmed, let’s go back home now. The three children are still waiting for us.”

He had just stood up when he spotted the suspicion on the woman’s face.

“Why? Don’t want to go home? Don’t tell me that you want to continue discussing the plan with this old thing here?”

He was clearly displeased. The coolness in his eyes made Qu Xiujie feel surprised inside. The latter clearly did not know that this man’s jealousy knew no bounds for he could even get jealous of an old thing like him.

“What are you saying? Our plan is to stay in the hospital tonight to see if Old Lady Qu will send someone over to make a move on Mr. Qu. You clearly didn’t hear anything earlier and still refused to admit it.”

Pei Ge tugged at his sleeve, telling him to sit down and not to embarrass himself in front of the other man.

“Oh? I see.”

His voice was low and deep as his gaze turned from a displeased look to an apologetic one.

“Otherwise, what did you think it was?”

She turned her head to look at him, rolling her eyes while considering if she should ignore the man for the rest of the day since he did not get what she meant.

“Do you think Old Lady Qu is someone to be trifled with? This old thing has been living in the Qu family for so many years yet he’s still not a worthy opponent of that woman. In the end, he had to seek my protection, so you should trust me, too. Of course, I can find out all the deeds of that old woman. Most likely, I will even send her a large gift.”

Ji Ziming’s sharp and ruthless eyes, which were profound, shifted onto Qu Xiujie on the bed.

The old thing was clearly taking advantage of the time he was spacing out to get chummy with his wife and even requested her to accompany him in the hospital right under his nose.

How could he hold himself back? As a man, he could not accept having an old thing, who was older, less imposing, and poorer than he was, snatch away his woman, let alone the fact that he was Ji Ziming.

“Do you mean that if Old Lady Qu sends someone over tonight…”

Pei Ge continued asking, still feeling worried.

“Did you think that my bodyguards grew up eating carrots?”

He felt exasperated. Did this woman still refuse to trust his abilities?

“It’s fine if this old thing does not know my capabilities, but don’t you?”

The other meaning of his words made Pei Ge’s lost expression turn into a shy blush. Meanwhile, sitting on the bed, as a man himself, Qu Xiujie knew what the chap meant, too.

He lightly sighed inside, This rascal is still treating me as his rival in love, and one he doesn’t care two hoots about to boot.

“Let’s go home. The children are still waiting for us at home.”

Ji Ziming hugged her by the shoulders. His gaze on her was endearing.

“Okay.”

Pei Ge nodded, thinking that she had to go home, anyway. Since this man already had his plan, how could she not trust him?

After bidding Qu Xiujie goodbye, the man headed back to his family’s villa with his woman. The moment she stepped into the house, Auntie Zhang rushed to her. “Madam, Miss Qin Qitong called. I answered it for you because you weren’t home.”

“Get straight to the point.”

The man cocked an eyebrow as a storm brewed in his eyes.

Startled by his expression, Auntie Zhang stuttered even more.

“M-Madam… Miss Q-Qin Qitong s-said…”

“Auntie Zhang, don’t be nervous. Come let’s continue elsewhere. You have to tell me everything Qitong said.”

Pei Ge glanced at the man and, indeed, saw that his expression was not any better than when they were in Qu Xiujie’s ward. With that, she pulled the auntie to a corner of the living room.

“Earlier, your friend couldn’t get through to you, so she called the house. She said that she’s preparing to come home for her wedding in a few days’ time.”

Auntie Zhang smiled as she spoke about Qin Qitong’s wedding. If not for her master’s glare just then, she would immediately tell this to her madam.

“She called me?”

Pei Ge revealed a look of disbelief. She quickly opened her handbag and spotted six missed calls when she found her phone. They were all from Qin Qitong.

“Aiya, I must’ve put it in silent mode because of the company meeting. It’s my fault for being so careless that I forgot to undo this. Thank you, Auntie Zhang. I’ll call her back now.”

She lightly patted her head, thinking of how she had forgotten about such an important thing like her phone. She was not afraid of missing Qin Qitong’s call. She was more worried about Tang Xiaoyu.
