Chapter 1488: Getting seduced—who’s the one getting jealous?!

“Then, I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else. I’ll bring her to the hospital for a checkup now.” His cold eyes darkened as he held the hand of the woman beside him. He softly told her, “Don’t worry; I’m here.”

Pei Ge became misty-eyed. Through her slightly moist eyes, she gazed at the man standing right beside her, holding up an umbrella for her. No matter how precarious her road was in the future, she would have the courage to continue treading down it.

“You don’t need to do that. Just come back tonight, and I’ll bring her tomorrow myself. I already made an appointment with Dr. Zhao, so don’t worry about it. I’ll be with her.”

“If you have nothing else to say, I’ll end the call. I’ll bring her to the hospital myself now.”

He did not give his mother another chance to speak before hanging up. Tightening his grip on the woman’s slender hand, he softly reassured, “Don’t worry; I’ll find the right time to explain this to my mom. Don’t think about it now; I’ll have someone get a report from a hospital for you later.”

“We’ll be continuing this lie with your mom if we do it like this.” Pei Ge revealed a look of conflict. She did not want to disappoint the older woman, but she also could not find a way to make her happy.

“Aren’t we working hard now?”

“I don’t want to. I don’t want to think about these now.” She turned around, looking away from him. In a voice full of sorrow, she said, “Ping An’s condition isn’t stable yet, so I don’t want to consider these things now.”

“Okay, then, let’s not. Shall we focus on our visit to Red Star this afternoon in the meantime?” He hugged her from the back lovingly.

“Mhm, okay. I’ll prepare my stuff first, then we can head out.”

“Okay. I’ll ask the driver to bring the car over.”

“Then, I’ll go look at those documents again, and while I’m at it, I’ll bring the contract along.”

“Are you that confident of succeeding today?”

“Yes, because I have you.”

She turned to look at him with her round eyes. “Isn’t that right? Unless you don’t agree with me.”

“Yes, so I should praise you.”

He bent down and gently planted a kiss on her lips. It was different from the passionate kiss from before—this was a kiss brimming with tenderness and love.

After he released her, she walked to the desk and organized Red Star’s information, feeling slightly more anticipative of the upcoming meeting with that company’s leader.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, the man made a call to He Yun. “Drive my car over from the garage.”

“Boss, are you going somewhere this afternoon?”

“To Red Star.”

“Yes, boss. I’ll drive over now.” After hanging up the call, He Yun’s surprised expression also stunned the secretary sitting beside him.

Shortly after driving the car to the company, Ji Ziming came down with Pei Ge in tow.

Dressed in a khaki, knee-length skirt, white coat, and black, knitted shirt, she looked every part an elite businesswoman. Meanwhile, standing beside her, the man wore a black suit which emphasized his towering height. His cold features and her sweetly smiling face made the driver feel as though his eyes had been nourished.

The man opened the backseat door and blocked the top of the car to prevent her from bumping on it. “Be careful.” After saying this in a low yet clear voice, he waited for her to enter the car and be seated first before getting in it, too.

He Yun only started the car after he had closed the door. The Maserati was very stable, and without feeling any bumps on the road, they soon reached Red Star’s headquarters.

As the representative of the real-estate company, Cheng Liqing’s expectant gaze was very focused on Ji Ziming’s Maserati that he seemed able to burn a hole through it. In fact, without waiting for it to stop fully, he had already bounded for its door. “Master Ji, welcome!”

After parking the car, He Yun quickly opened the door on his boss’s side. The latter, whose eyes had darkened, seemed to have noticed the representative’s ambitious nature and coldly said, “I brought my wife along. Any detailed problems regarding the contract will have to be discussed with her.”

“So madam is here, too. Our small company is honored by your presence.”

Cheng Liqing was first-rate at sucking up to people. Within this company, only he could rise up the ranks easily because not only was he good at brownnosing, he even served his bosses to the point of dependency.

The man reached an arm inside the car and helped his woman emerge from it.

“Good day, Manager Cheng.”

Pei Ge’s lips curled up. Her exquisite features made the person’s eyes light up in awe. The admiring look in his eyes made the man feel repulsed. He did not like anyone touching a strand of hair of his woman.

“Good day, ma’am. You look young.” Cheng Liqing quickly reached out a hand. His gaze shifted from Ji Ziming to pin on her. In his eyes, her every action and smile was entrancing.

She moved to shake the guy’s hand but was stopped by Ji Ziming grabbing her hand, instead. The man was emitting cold air at full blast. “Manager Cheng, I don’t think it’s good for your company’s reputation to discuss work with us here at the entrance.”

“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. I’ve been negligent. Sir, ma’am, this way please.”

The guy broke out in a cold sweat. The first time he had met this man was at a banquet attended by many business elites and higher-ups. Back then, he was a mere waiter. Even if that was his first time seeing the man, he could already tell that he was powerful. Wherever he stood, even old men who loved to order people around did not dare to speak.

How did I forget that this woman is this man’s?

The moment he thought of this, he immediately retracted his gaze and became even more respectful.

Once this group stepped into the company’s lobby, they attracted the attention of everyone there. Be it the employees or the customers, they were all attracted by the sight of these few people’s eye-catching arrival, especially the couple.

“Who is that woman? Why does she look so familiar?”

“Is that man Young Master Ji, the famed CEO of the Ji Group?”

“You’re right! They’re well-matched. No wonder everyone says that he has a good eye for people. Look; even the man walking beside him like a bodyguard is handsome.”

“Are you smitten again?”

“Who is smitten? I already have two kids, with the older one being in middle school.”

“That isn’t for sure. Some men have preference for older women like you.”

“Who are you calling old?”

“I didn’t say you are old.”

“You called me old. How am I old? You’re the old one! Your whole family is old!”

The ruckus in the lobby could be heard even by Ji Ziming, who was standing in front of the elevator, and his cold eyes darkened by a few notches.
