Chapter 1515: You are my woman, so of course.
“I don’t understand what difference it will make even if people find out that we used to be classmates. In addition, I am now his superior, so it should be a case of betrayal by a subordinate.” Ji Ziming could see the desolation in her eyes.
“Even if there is no difference, it will still be taken as something else by those who have a motive.”
“You mean to say that there is no other alternative?”
“How could that be? You are my woman. I will see who dares to lay their hands on you.”
“What if I am not treated as your wife?”
He looked up at her with his deep and dark eyes. “What do you mean by that?”
Pei Ge shook her head. The butterfly brooch on her collar shook slightly because of her movements, making it seem as if an actual butterfly was resting on her fair collar.
“I don’t mean anything. Ziming, thank you. Thank you for always being by my side.”
“You are my woman. I will get unhappy if you say something like this again in the future.” The man’s eyes shone with love as he regarded her.
“Alright.” She stuck out her tongue. Turning to look at Ji Chi in the ward, she continued a little sorrowfully. “Let’s go to Red Star now.”
“Aren’t you going to stay here and accompany our son?” Based on his understanding of her, she should be unwilling to leave the child alone in the hospital.
“He’s fine now. With his grandmother, auntie, and his siblings accompanying him, it is best if I don’t appear before him now. I’m scared of him not accepting me.”
“Why can’t he accept you? You are his mommy, and I am his daddy. How can he not accept this? Even if he can’t now, I don’t believe that he can’t in the future. If he can’t, I will make him accept it.”
“What do you intend to do?” She was a little worried as tears moistened her eyes.
With heartache in his eyes, he softened his tone. “I won’t do anything, so don’t worry.”
“Then, you must promise me not to chase Qu Jingwan away for now.”
“I promise.” His handsome features were filled with fatherly warmth. She momentarily forgot her issue with their son when she saw this.
“Let’s go to Red Star and see how Huang Zhian is being dealt with.”
“Okay. No matter what happens to him, as the acquirer of Red Star, I must make an appearance. Our previous appearance there was too sudden, so I wasn’t prepared.”
“You are the leader, so why should you need to prepare? It’s him who wasn’t well-prepared.” Ji Ziming stood up and put his hand in front of the woman, giving her a warm smile. “Ge Ge, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Pei Ge nodded. The sight of the tall man standing in front of her in his black suit reminded her of the first time they met.
His sharp and straight eyebrows furrowed together slightly as his dark and sharp eyes landed on the woman sitting on the sofa. He bent down and helped her up by lifting her from the waist. “No matter what happens, you must believe that I will be by your side.”
The low and magnetic voice from above woke her up from her reminiscing. “I know. I know that you will always be by my side—”
The man interrupted her before she could finish speaking as he exerted some strength in his arms and looked at her with his deep eyes. “Remember that you are my woman, and that’s enough.”
“Okay, okay. Let’s go to the company.” She met his eyes with her beautiful and moist ones. “The people at the company will start panicking if we don’t leave now.”
“Then, just let them wait. No one will dare say anything even if we don’t go, anyway.” The man’s lips curled up in glee when she leaned against his broad chest. “You are my woman, so of course.”
She pulled him toward the hospital’s parking lot. Ji Ziming chose a streamlined black Rolls-Royce and drove it out. Stopping the car beside her, he pushed the door open and called in his low and clear voice, “Get in.”
Once she was in the car, he started telling her how he had found more evidence against Huang Zhian and the choice to call the police to bring him to the station for questioning.
As it turned out, the guy was not a first timer. He arrived at Red Star half a year ago under the poaching of one of the board members. He was hardworking and serious at work, earning him the praise of the top management. However, it did not last long. The first time their company’s secrets were leaked, although he was not the one in charge, his direct superior was.
His direct superior kept claiming that he was framed, but he did not have evidence. After he was fired from Red Star, Huang Zhian was chosen to take over his position, and from there, he became the company’s exceptional employee, who was the first to come but last to leave.
He was in charge of the villa construction project in collaboration with the Qu family when the mass resignation of Red Star’s board of directors occurred. In the end, because of this incident, the cash flow issues cropped up and the collaboration was naturally halted.
It was his first time collaborating with another company independently, yet it ended in a failure.
As he recounted this point, her sight blurred. She recalled when she and Huang Zhian were still classmates.
The guy’s seat was behind her. Back in middle school, she was slightly plump. As she was a committee member in her class, she would unintentionally offend people, yet the guy would always help her clean up the mess.
She still remembered that there was once a boy who did not do his homework. That boy’s homework was the only one left uncollected and he requested her to hide the fact from the teacher. She refused and insisted even when he tried to bribe her with snacks.
In the end, the two of them started getting physical. She did not back down despite being a girl, and in the end, when she was in pain from the boy pulling her hair, Huang Zhian rushed over and saved her from the boy’s grasp. The tables were overturned and the boy was thrashed badly by him. The former kept wailing about bringing his parents to school the next day to seek trouble with the latter.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Ziming looked at her with his deep eyes swirling with indiscernible emotions.
“Nothing. Just recalled some past events.” Pei Ge rubbed her temples lightly as she answered him with her eyes closed.
“Recalling Huang Zhian?”
