“Okay, I’ll look for her with you, but where should we start?”
The man frowned slightly. He did not know when it was that Pei Ge had obtained information about Tang Xiaoyu, or perhaps her best friend’s supposed disappearance was a mere ploy to bring this woman here.
“To my best friend’s house first. I have her house keys. My mom said that she suddenly lost contact with her. I am thinking that she has her reasons for leaving. Although we are unable to reach her, I have a feeling that she’s left something in her house.”
She pulled the thin blanket over to cover herself, thinking deeply about the links before and after her best friend’s disappearance.
“Okay, I’ll accompany you there.”
Hearing his low and clear voice which was filled with magnetism, she could not help but hug the man tighter. Her cheeks were slightly red. “Ziming, thank you, for always staying by my side.”
“Why are you saying this kind of thing again? Didn’t I tell you before...”
The man narrowed his deep-set eyes at the little woman in his arms, feeling slightly unhappy. It felt as if she were pushing him away whenever she said such stuff—as though they were not husband and wife but mere acquaintances who had met each other along their respective journeys to her.
“I know, but I just want to express my gratitude. I probably saved Earth in my past life.”
“Do you think you are Ultraman?” He chuckled, narrowing his dark eyes as he spoke in a sly tone. “There are many ways to express gratitude, for example, marrying me.”
“You’re so annoying. Stop being frivolous. What exact do you wa—”
“I want you.”
He suddenly pulled the thin blanket over and wrapped them in it. The dark surroundings and each other’s breath were instantly enlarged and made all too obvious in this silence.
Pei Ge’s cheeks burned as her chest undulated like waves. Ji Ziming looked at the woman lying beneath him with eyes seemingly on fire.
The room was again engulfed in a passionate activity.
When the two finally reappeared from their room, it was already close to evening. The three children and Zhang Manhua were sitting on the carpet in the living room, playing with building blocks. It was the present the older woman had given Ji Chi before, but because of various reasons, the child had not received it.
“Mom, Ziming and I will make a trip down to Xiaoyu’s house. You guys don’t have to wait for us to have dinner.”
Pei Ge stood by the door and watched her kids for some time. She felt that Ji Chi and her daughter were closer as the former would not reveal any signs of rejection no matter what the latter said, be it good or bad.
“Okay, go ahead. I am around to look after the kids. Let me know if you find any clues in her house so that I will feel more at ease.”
Zhang Manhua nodded as she watched how the young man gently held her daughter. She could not help but smile, thinking that her daughter had not chosen the wrong man.
“Okay, I will. We might be back later today. If we come back too late, you can just bring the kids to bed. They can’t sleep late.”
Her daughter was still worried and reminded her again.
“I know. Don’t you worry. Hurry up and go.”
How could she not know how to take care of children? She doted on these kids so much and was much more patient to them compared to her when she was young.
“Then, we’ll be off.”
Ji Ziming picked up his woman’s red LV handbag. It was this year’s latest spring collection which he had specially bought for her as a White Day present.
“Okay, go now and be careful on your way there.”
Zhang Manhua advised. Following it was the closing of the door. The couple looked at each other while they walked. There was no need for words between them.
“It’s better if I drive to Xiaoyu’s house; I know the road.”
“I’ll drive. I’m worried about you driving, so just give me directions.”
“I’ll do it.”
“No, me.”
...
The man was unable to win against the woman and could only pass the keys to the black Rolls-Royce to her as he carefully reminded, “I’ll take over if you feel uncomfortable while driving.”
“I know.”
She lowered her head and sat in the car. This was her first time driving such a luxurious car. If she bumped it into something outside, the maintenance cost, repair fees, everything added up, would be...
Just as she was thinking of such nonsense, Ji Ziming, who had also gotten in the car, said, “The car does not matter; I only need you to be safe.”
He had reason to be worried about her driving skills. Ever since Pei Ge returned and got with him, she had rarely driven a car. Every time the two of them went out, it was either him or He Yun driving.
As expected, her estimation of the cost for this car’s repair was not as convincing as the reality before her eyes.
A man and woman alighted from a white BMW and looked at it then at the Rolls-Royce which had hit their vehicle and quickly swallowed their curses. They frowned, wondering what the owner of the Rolls-Royce would do.
Pei Ge rested her chin on the steering wheel as she looked at the scene outside. She turned her head away, not daring to look at the man beside her. She had insisted on driving before they left, and now, they got into this trouble because of her. Her cheeks blushed a deep shade of red just like ripe cherries.
“Are you hurt?”
Ji Ziming was not concerned about the car. The moment she braked without warning, he intuitively used his arms to protect her head; hence, she did not suffer any injury when her head bumped against the steering wheel. In truth, it was the man who felt his arm turning numb from the pain at that moment.
“I’m fine.”
She shook her head. The impact was so big, yet she did not feel any pain on her body.
“It’s fine that you’re not in pain.”
His voice was warm and rich. The strength he had used just then to protect her gave her courage to look up at the BMW in front. With a surprise look, she actually found the man and woman to be extremely familiar.
The two were not anyone else. They were Qin Qitong and Bi Zheng!
“Qitong, why is it you guys?”
She was originally following behind Ji Ziming and admitting her wrong for not noticing the car coming up beside her when she turned the corner. However, after she recognized the people opposite them, she quickly jumped out from behind the man and walked over to Qin Qitong, saying excitedly, “It’s really you guys! This is so coincidental!”
Upon recognizing them too, the lady pulled on Pei Ge’s hands and said, “Why are you guys here?”
“I am here to look for Xiaoyu! I didn’t expect to bump into you guys like this.”
Pei Ge looked awkward as she regarded the lass before her with a happy yet apologetic look.
