Chapter 1798: Ge Ge, Wake Up
Speaking of the funny things that happened between Ji Ziming and Pei Ge, it was as if they were not their daughter-in-law or son-in-law, but two unrelated people.
Or more accurately, they were someone else’s daughter and son-in-law.
Ji Ziming walked into the room. Pei Ge, who was lying on the bed, was in a deep sleep. Ji Ziming was careful and made very soft noises. Auntie Zhang had run back to the room in advance and pulled all the curtains, including the floor-to-ceiling window. As long as he could give Pei Ge a good rest, Ji Ziming had already done everything that could be done. As long as he could let her have a good sleep, Ji Ziming did not even have time to change into his pajamas.
She missed him dearly after not seeing him for a night.
Pei Ge did not remember how long she slept. In her dream, she seemed to be able to see Ji Ziming running in the fog, but she could not see him turning around to see her. She could still see Tang Xiaoyu, but she could not see her, too.
She wanted to scream, but she could not make any sound.
Ji Ziming, who was sitting beside Pei Ge, was writing a few notes for the new day. His heart ached when he saw Pei Ge sweating profusely from her nightmare.
He lightly patted her arm. “Ge Ge, what’s wrong? Quickly wake up; I’m here.”
Ji Ziming leaned forward and could still hear Pei Ge calling out to him. Her voice was weak and it was as though she was in a dream.
“Ge Ge, wake up.”
He quickly patted her again.
It was already nighttime and Ji Ziming stayed in the room to accompany Pei Ge. Even when Auntie Zhang came over to ask if they wanted to have dinner together, he rejected her.
“Ge Ge, wake up quickly. What’s wrong?”
Ji Ziming looked at Pei Ge, who was beside him, who was sweating profusely. Her eyes were still moist and her arms were cold. He was shocked as he had never seen her like this before.
Even when she was having a nightmare, she would still wake up.
“Ge Ge, you…”
Ji Ziming was about to call the family doctor when Pei Ge woke up.
“Ziming…”
Her voice was weak and her face was pale. Even her eyes had a faint glow.
“Ziming, I had a nightmare.”
Pei Ge opened her eyes and looked at Ji Ziming, who was wearing a white shirt, sitting beside her. His Adam’s apple bobbed nervously and his face showed concern.
“I know. It’s good that you’re awake now. You didn’t wake up no matter how I called you just now. You scared me to death.”
Ji Ziming hugged Pei Ge and rested his chin on her soft hair as he said with heartache.
“Why can’t I wake up? Ain’t I fine?”
Pei Ge’s lips curled up into a smile. Feeling the warmth of Ji Ziming’s embrace, she stopped thinking about how to escape from that dream.
“It’s a nightmare, but dreams in reality are all the opposite. Don’t worry; it’s already in the past. Something good will happen.”
“I got it.”
Pei Ge nodded and obediently lay on Ji Ziming’s chest. Smelling the cologne of the person beside her, Pei Ge’s heart slowly settled and she relaxed.
She woke up because, in her dream, she saw Ji Ziming covered in blood and was frightened awake by the enlarged photo. It was too scary and worried her.
As long as the people around her were fine, everything was fine.
“Ziming, quickly find the person who called you. I’ll be worried the whole day if you don’t find him.”
Her voice was weak, and it made his heart ache even more.
“Okay, I’ll find him. Don’t worry, it won’t be long before that person’s true colors are revealed.”
Ji Ziming’s reply was very deep. It would not be long before he found the person who caused his woman to not be able to sleep well. If this continued, Pei Ge might not be able to hold on anymore. Let alone dealing with Old lady Qu, even this mysterious person over the phone could overturn all the plans he, Ji Ziming, had meticulously planned.
“Okay.”
She nodded and lay in his embrace for a while before falling asleep on her pillow.
The two were simply sleeping in the same clothes. Ji Ziming was also wearing a shirt and pants and did not even have time to change into simple pajamas.
“Ge Ge, you sleep first. I’ll go take a shower.”
Ji Ziming caressed Pei Ge’s hair and said dotingly, his eyes full of love.
“No need. Let’s shower together.”
Pei Ge blushed. This was the first time she had invited Ji Ziming to shower with her. In the past, she could only reject such a thing, but today, she could not reject it.
“Okay.”
He hesitated for a moment before nodding and carrying her into the bathroom.
After a good night’s sleep, the two of them hugged each other.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly but there was no light in the room. The two slept for a long time and only woke up when He Yun called.
“CEO, that Miss Qin Qitong has already returned to the country. I’ll go fetch her now. Also, some of Mr. Bi Zheng’s plans are in progress. He said that we’ll see the results in five hours.”
Ji Ziming closed his eyes as his thoughts raced. When he parted ways with Bi Zheng last night, he only thought that Bi Zheng was very capable and skillful, but he did not know that Qin Qitong would miss him so much. One had just returned to the country, while the other had gone back right after. As for the result that could be seen in five hours, it was progressing swiftly as part of Ji Ziming’s plan.
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming’s voice sounded authoritative as usual.
“Okay, CEO. Don’t tell me that you’re not up yet?”
He Yun was driving to the airport when he heard Ji Ziming’s short reply. He could not help but feel confused. It was almost noon and he slept peacefully.
Du, du, du…
The call was hung up. Ji Ziming, who realized that He Yun had nicked it, frowned and hung up.
“Sigh… CEO Ji, this is too much. I was right and you just hang up on me like this? Don’t I want my face? You only know how to be as gentle as jade with the Madam and don’t know the heartache of insignificant workers like us.”
