Chapter 1799: Empress, the Empress of an Emperor
He Yun drove his car and complained for a while before picking up Qin Qitong. Indeed, she was as beautiful and elegant as her name suggested. He Yun did not expect the knowledgeable and humorous woman before him to be Bi Zheng’s wife, who was playing with his design in the room.
In the Ji family mansion, Ji Ziming and Pei Ge woke up because of He Yun’s call. The two hugged each other and opened their eyes slightly. “Ziming, did He Yun just say that Qitong is back today?”
“Mhm.”
Ji Ziming closed his eyes and tightly hugged the child in his arms. As long as she was by his side, it did not matter who came back. Even if Father Ji came back, so what?
“Then, she should go look for Bi Zheng as soon as she gets off the plane. I need to get up now. I’ll go check on her in the hotel later.”
“What are you going to see? It’s a small separation that makes the heart grow fonder. If you go, you’ll only be a third wheel. Just stay here. Let’s go visit them in the afternoon and welcome them at night.”
Ji Ziming closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Pei Ge’s slender waist. The way they hugged was exceptionally sweet.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Pei Ge’s lips curled into a smile as she opened her eyes to look at the person beside her. They had slept through the night in each other’s arms, yet they were sleeping so peacefully.
The two of them slept in the room for a while more. Ji Ziming looked at the time and realized that it was already noon. The fishing net was already slowly retracting, and with Bi Zheng’s five hours, it was still early.
“Ge Ge, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
Ji Ziming opened his bright eyes and looked behind Pei Ge. The floor-to-ceiling curtains seemed to be unable to cover the sunlight outside. In such bright and beautiful weather, what he needed to do was to make all the haze disappear.
“No.”
She shook her head and clung onto his arm.
“Okay, then sleep a little longer.”
Ji Ziming hugged Pei Ge tightly and they slept until the afternoon.
In just one night, she managed to make up for all the sleepless nights.
Pei Ge did not expect herself to be able to sleep so well. After sleeping for a night and half a day, when she woke up, Mother Ji had already brought the three children back to the house. The few elders who were of the same age were actually so friendly with each other.
By the time Ji Ziming and Pei Ge arrived at the hotel, it was already 3 PM. Ji Ziming had changed his car. Although the yellow Lamborghini was eye-catching on the road, no one came to ask who it was. When they saw the license plate of the Lamborghini, they obediently followed behind without any joy.
When the two arrived at the hotel, Qin Qitong and Bi Zheng were sitting on the sofa and playing with the items in their hands.
The dark blue ball was only the size of a palm, yet it emitted a strange glow. It was connected to a large box and looked like it was charging, while Qin Qitong fiddled with it curiously.
“What is this? It looks fun.”
Pei Ge walked forward and when she saw that her best friend was finally by her side and thought of how they were about to get married, she felt as though her heart was melting.
“This one is called Empress.”
Bi Zheng raised his head. Wearing a white shirt, he stood in front of the box as though he had no strength to truss a chicken. The ball that was referred to as the empress was quietly lying in Qin Qitong’s palm.
“Empress?”
Pei Ge repeated and looked at Qin Qitong curiously. Seeing the smile on her best friend’s face, Pei Ge felt sweet inside.
“Yes, is it nice? I named it.”
Qin Qitong seemed to be asking for credit as she patted the seat beside her and signaled for Pei Ge to sit down.
Pei Ge walked over and received the ball from Qin Qitong. She asked curiously, “This ball is really special, but it’s called Empress. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“Actually, when Bi Zheng asked me for its name, I just casually called it ‘Empress’, and he really called the thing ‘Empress’. What else can I say? Since I’ve already called it that, I’ll just call it that. Also, this little thing is indeed worthy of this name. Empress, Empress, the Empress of an Emperor.”
When Qin Qitong said this, she looked at Bi Zheng with a blush on her face.
Pei Ge noticed that even though the room was still clean and tidy, it was unable to salvage the bedsheets that had just been lifted.
Although it was still as clean as before, she still knew.
Did the two of them share these technological achievements or did they do something that only the two of them knew about?
“Ge Ge, what do you think this ball will do?”
Qin Qitong did not notice that Pei Ge was looking at Ji Ziming who was standing beside Bi Zheng.
“Ge Ge, what’s wrong? Aren’t you happy that I’m back?”
Qin Qitong waved her hand in front of Pei Ge. She had returned so quickly, but she realized that her best friend, who was sitting beside her, had a lost look in her eyes.
“Why would I be unhappy? I can’t wait to be happy. I’m thinking about what that big box is for.”
Pei Ge quickly found a reason for herself. She did not want to be teased by Qin Qitong.
“That?”
Qin Qitong did not notice the obvious change in Pei Ge’s eyes. She only followed the direction of Pei Ge’s finger and looked at the box that was charging Empress.
“I actually don’t know what that box is for. It belongs to Bi Zheng and is a special treasure. He even exaggerated that it’s his life. If this box is lost, he won’t dare to come back to see Ji Ziming. Don’t you think it’s funny?”
Qin Qitong did not want to believe the two boxes’ capabilities or the benefits they would bring to Ji Ziming and Pei Ge. She only knew that since it was something Bi Zheng cared about, there was no possibility of her hating it.
As long as the person she loved liked it, why would she dislike it? As the saying goes, ‘love the house and its crow’.
“Ge Ge, do you want to take a look?”
Qin Qitong generously invited her. She herself had yet to see the true colors of the luggage, but it seemed to be more important than she had imagined.
