Chapter 1733: Trust and Belief
She did not know how many things this man had done. Only she did not know, and only she could not think of them. However, the things she could not think of were far more than this.
“Don’t you need to hold a press conference to clarify this matter?”
Pei Ge probed. What kind of man was the man in front of her? His EQ and IQ were unique. No one could go against his plans, and no one could lie to him. It was precisely because of this that she knew that there was a very, very young boy in Ji Ziming’s heart.
His heart might ache for her, he might dote on her, or protect her, but Pei Ge hoped that she could always be by Ji Ziming’s side. No matter what happened in the future, no matter what the fight with Old lady Qu would be like, she still hoped that she would be the one accompanying him.
Not anyone else.
“No need. Now is the time for the Qu family to feel troubled. The time is not ripe yet. I’ll come out to clarify when the pressure from the public is greater.”
Ji Ziming’s voice reached Pei Ge’s ears clearly. All his plans were already in place in his heart. Only then could he know his place in Pei Ge’s heart.
However, it seemed that there was no need to know anymore.
This was because Ji Ziming firmly believed that there was no one more important than him in Pei Ge’s heart.
“You already have plans, right?”
Pei Ge asked as her fingers curled slightly. She was still worried, yet the person sitting beside her had already made up his mind and she did not need to worry.
“Yes, so don’t worry. Ge Ge, I want to eat braised fish.”
Ji Ziming raised his head and realized that Pei Ge was unhappy. He turned around and gave her a light peck on her pink lips. His deep eyes met her beautiful eyes as he pursed his lips and said in a low and enchanting voice, “I want to eat you more.”
“You… you… go do your work. I’ll make you braised fish.”
Pei Ge looked at Ji Ziming and the dazed look in his eyes made her scalp tingle. Her body had not fully recovered and she could not let this person invade her again.
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming was very satisfied with Pei Ge’s attitude. He only watched as she stood up. The beige dress perfectly accentuated her perfect legs, fair skin and voluptuous figure. She looked just like the first time he saw her.
“Okay, then continue with your work. I’ll go to the kitchen.”
Pei Ge looked at the clock on the wall. There were still two hours before lunchtime. Zhang Manhua, Qu Xiujie and the three children were still out for a walk.
“Mhm.”
Ji Ziming let out a muffled groan and lowered his head to continue dealing with the things in his hands. As long as it was something Pei Ge wanted to do, he had never objected to it. Although he knew that he had to endure a month of pain, the feeling of not being able to appreciate such a perfect woman made him wish he were dead.
He could only divert his attention by dealing with the company’s matters. Recently, the company was not peaceful and Old lady Qu was too cunning. Having been by Old master Qu’s side for so many years, she already had grown her own wings. As long as she was in trouble, these people would appear.
Ji Ziming did not care where these people came from. He only cared that in this smokeless war, he could get more benefits for Pei Ge. As long as he got the final sacred fruit, no one would care about the process.
Ji Ziming held the tablet and scrolled back to the news detailing Qu Jingwan creating a ruckus in the Ji Group. The photo was secretly taken from an excellent position and the position where Manager Wang stood was suitable.
If one did not look closely, it would be hard to tell that this news was actually about Manager Wang holding Qu Jingwan’s hand. However, because the location of the photo was different, the average person would look in the opposite direction and assume that Qu Jingwan was reaching out to hit Manager Wang.
It was likely that Qu Group was already swamped with work.
While Old lady Qu was busy dealing with Qu Xiujie who came to the Ji family to reunite with Pei Ge, Ji Ziming was secretly gathering years of information about Old lady Qu. However, the truth that he found out made Ji Ziming bold. This old woman actually had a heart that was colder than his.
How hard must one’s heart be to face all this pain and darkness so calmly?
The more Ji Ziming looked at the information about Old lady Qu that He Yun had gathered for her, the more his heart trembled. He thought that he had been cold and aloof for so many years and was indifferent to human lives but he did not expect that there was someone more cold-blooded and cruel than him in this world.
For the sake of her motive, she did not hesitate to hire someone to kill and even exterminate the descendants of that person. However, when Ji Ziming looked carefully, he realized that in Old lady Qu’s world, she did not harbor a deep hatred for these people but they were merely obstacles stopping her from advancing.
Ji Ziming did not know how long this hatred lasted.
He only knew that he would slowly find out. Perhaps, in the end, he would be forced to be brazen. This woman’s world was actually this cruel.
Ji Ziming also started to sympathize with Qu Xiujie. In such a cold family, living was indeed worse than death. There was finally a new explanation for Zhang Manhua’s cries at the dinner table last night.
Whether it was good or bad, there would always be a rule.
Ji Ziming’s rule was that no one was allowed to bully his woman. If anyone dared to lay their hands on Pei Ge, he would capture that person no matter what because that person was his woman’s enemy.
In this world, there were thousands of enemies and another one would not be too many.
At this moment, Qu Jingwan, who was in Qu family’s house, did not dare to leave her room. Even the breakfast that the housekeeper had brought over in the morning was smashed to smithereens in the corridor outside her room.
“Miss, you can’t not eat. You haven’t eaten in a long time. If you don’t eat now, your body will break down.”
The nanny’s heart ached for Qu Jingwan. Although she was a spoiled young lady, compared to Old lady Qu in this house, Qu Jingwan was still very gentle and could speak to servants like them.
“I’m not eating! I’m not eating!”
Qu Jingwan shouted at the top of her lungs through the door. It was slammed shut earlier and precisely because of this that the housekeeper knocked all the plates on the floor.
