“No matter what the reason is, I think you should stop. It’s impossible between us.” She asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Ji Ziming felt his chest churn and his deep eyes seemed to be ablaze with flames.
“CEO Ji, it’s the weekend. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first. You should leave as well.” She did not want to waste any more time with him when she saw him staring at her without saying a word.
The moment she turned around, the man’s large and powerful hand grabbed her arm from behind. She did not turn around, but her brows furrowed even more as she closed her red lips and eyes in resignation.
“Let’s go somewhere!” Ji Ziming said in a deep voice.”Come with me!”!!
She quickly turned around and was about to reject him when he cut her off.””You’re working overtime!”
PEI GE seemed to be unable to retort as her face turned red from anger. She did not know how to refuse. After all, if this was business, the CEO was the one who personally came to her house to make her work overtime.
“CEO Ji, this is a last-minute overtime. You have to triple my work, right? Otherwise, I don’t want to go!” In the end, she could only think of getting him to spend more money to compensate her.
Seeing her compromise, the man’s lips curled up. The mist and hostility in his eyes disappeared and were replaced with joy.”Alright, since you’re my Special Assistant, I can pay you six times the amount!”
“No need. According to the labor law, three times is enough. Get in the car. We need to hurry!” With that, she walked toward the front passenger seat in a Huff.
“Pei Pei, I’ll let you know later that it’s worth it to receive this triple salary!” The love in his eyes intensified, and he drove faster and more steadily.
After driving for some time, PEI GE saw that the car was slowly leaving the city and was surrounded by trees. She started to worry.
Not knowing what he was up to this time, she softly asked,””CEO Ji, can you tell me where we’re going?”
“Not yet. I’ll tell you when I get there.” He did not look at her after he said that and pretended to be serious.
Seeing that she was still in a daze and did not speak, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye and saw her solemn expression.””Don’t worry, I won’t sell you. I can’t bear to. ”
PEI GE’s petite face turned red in an instant. Tilting her head, she sternly said,””CEO Ji, you should focus on driving. This isn’t the city, and you’re driving so fast. Although the road is empty, I don’t want to report another work injury if something happens …”
Ji Ziming had always been confident in his driving skills, and they would soon reach the beach after passing through this forest.
Thus, he paid no attention to her words and only focused on her rambling. Who knew that, in the few seconds that he was lost in thought, a pile of falling rocks would appear on the empty road.
“Squeak”
“Be careful! “There’s a stone pile up ahead …” She had been looking straight ahead the entire time and saw the pile of falling rocks before him. Seeing that he was still looking at her with no intention of braking, she suddenly reacted and pointed at the stone pile with wide eyes.
He frantically turned the steering wheel to the other side, but it was too late. With a screeching sound of the car braking, he subconsciously used one hand to block her forehead.
“Are you alright?” The car’s hood was already smoking. He panted heavily as he looked out of the windshield and then quickly turned to ask her this.
She did not say a word but was still in a daze from the shock. Ji Ziming saw her trembling hands and cherry-like lips tremble slightly.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and carried her out from the other side of the car.
Ji Ziming looked at the woman in his arms with an anxious expression. He cupped PEI GE’s small face with his large hands and, when he saw a big tree by the road, immediately placed her against it.
“Pei Pei, don’t scare me! Why don’t you say something?” As he called out to her, he took out his phone from his pocket to call for help, but there was no signal here.
She took a moment to calm herself down and, looking at the flustered man, finally said,””Why would there be a stone puppet on such a fine road?”
The man’s furrowed brows finally relaxed at her question, and tears of joy welled up in his eyes.””Pei Pei, I’m sorry. I was careless. Fortunately, I didn’t hurt you!”
“Ji Ziming, why did you bring me to this lousy place? Look, the car’s smoking. How are we going to go back?” The half-dead look on PEI GE’s face was long gone.
Seeing that she had regained her vigor, he took a deep breath and relaxed.
He also changed his posture and leaned against the big tree root. He looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said,”I don’t know how to go back. Even our cell phone signal has disappeared. I guess God wants us to stay here alone for the rest of our lives. ”
She did not want to argue with him like this, so she frowned and glared at him.””You’re still in the mood to joke at a time like this? who wants to spend the rest of their lives alone with you?”
With that, she pouted and returned to the car.
Not knowing what she was up to, he quickly followed her with a frown.
“Pei Pei, don’t be anxious. I’ll think of a way. There’s no signal on my phone, right … I’ll …” As he spoke, he watched her angrily circle the car. When her eyes finally landed on the engine cover and the puddle of transmission oil on the ground, he frowned as if he was possessed.
“Pei Pei, there’s an oil leak. The car definitely can’t start. Even if it can start, there might be a problem with the brakes. For safety reasons, we can only check if there are any hotels nearby. When there’s a signal, we can contact a tow truck and go back.” Ji Ziming said in a low voice when he saw her remaining silent.
“Ji Ziming, why is it that nothing good ever happens when I’m with you?” PEI GE looked at the car with eyes full of grievance.
“Pei Pei, I didn’t want to do this either. I just wanted to bring you to a place we’ve been to out of good will. I thought that you’d remember something there, and then we could …” His voice wilted as he spoke, and his eyes dimmed.
