Chapter 1614: In his heart, she is a matchless treasure.
“What are you laughing at?”
Pei Ge looked at the man quizzically with bright eyes.
“I’m laughing at the one behind all those things. There’s an explanation for everything, and I’ll soon be able to retrieve the net I cast.”
Ji Ziming confidently looked at the woman in bed as his clear yet charismatic voice rang. “Will you believe me if I say that I’ve known that person’s intention right from the start?”
“I will.”
She nodded as she believed in his every word. More than that, she trusted that he would accompany her for all her life.
“Oh? So you believe in me now?”
He laughed, his cold lips upturning. Right now, the man appeared very calm, unlike how he was this morning. Since when did she unravel the puzzle? It seemed that this woman had improved quite a bit after being with him.
“Of course.”
She chuckled. How could she not believe him? They had been through so much while staying at each other’s side. There was never a time when she left him or backed down.
“Don’t you want to know who’s the one messing with your company?”
He reached out and pinched her chin, making the woman blush. She was akin to a rare item which was more precious than any treasure he had ever seen.
Nothing could be compared to her, and in his eyes, she was the world’s best.
She was a matchless treasure in his heart.
“Have you found out who it was? Then, tell me quickly.”
She did not move, let him continue pinching her chin. Even her cheek became bulged from his pinching. She had put on quite some weight after staying in the Ji family after some time—even her figure was getting fuller and rounder.
“If you serve me to my satisfaction, I’ll tell you.”
His eyes shimmered like the moon hanging in the night sky as he looked straight into the depths of her eyes. In that place, there laid the person whom he cared the most and the person he did not wish to hurt the most.
“Stop it.”
Upon hearing his words, she slapped his hand away as her eyes darted about. As he stood in front of her like a tall and mighty mountain, she said calmly, “I know that you’ll tell me about it eventually, so I don’t have to be anxious.”
After saying that, she got up to get a shawl from the cabinet. He gave her a light-gray Gucci shawl last month, and it was of high quality judging from the fabric.
Furthermore, the shawl had her name on it. Its renowned maker stitched her English, Chinese name, and her Pinyin name using the su, shu and hang
embroidery.However, before she could reach the cabinet, she was hefted up by the man without warning.
“Where are you going?”
His sweet yet enchanting voice sounded exceptionally mesmerizing in her ears, and even her skin and bones felt a tantalizing sensation. She could not bear to leave his embrace, and regardless of the time that passed, she would always remember it.
“Where do you think I’m going?”
He laughed, his eyes glued on her. The overwhelming look of love tore down his cold expression as a smile appeared on his face.
“Put me down first.”
Leaning on him, she was in an awkward position and could only chide him sweetly with her arms around his neck. “Let me down quickly. It isn’t nice if the kids catch us like this.”
“What are you afraid of? I instructed the kids not to look for you in your room this morning.”
Very pleased with himself, his smile widened.
“You...”
He had apparently calculated everything, and she was merely an ignorant chess piece. Standing on the same spot, his mischievous eyes remained on her this whole while.
“Let me down now. Can’t we just talk if there’s something?”
She was close to the point of kneeling and begging him because she clearly saw the passion in his eyes. If she could not find an excuse to escape from this place, she would probably be unable to leave the house in one piece for the next three days.
“No.”
He rejected her request and stared deeply at the woman in his arms. The smile on his face was sufficient to scare away all the intentions she had in her mind.
“You’re my woman, so how could you find another man behind my back?”
“I did that to find out about my company’s—”
Before she could finish speaking, her supple lips were occupied by his thin lips. She felt her center of gravity shifted, and the next thing she knew, they were both on the bed and she was lying on his chest.
“Wu!”
Her nose bridge hurt from knocking into his chest, eliciting a whimper from her.
“What’s wrong?”
He hurriedly looked up and saw her reddened nose before saying softly, “Let me see.”
“Tell me what you know first; if not, I won’t let you take advantage of me.”
Pei Ge pinched her nose as it really hurt. In fact, she saw stars when her nose was hit, yet she managed to suppress her tears from falling.
Seeing his look of hesitation, she raised her voice. “It’s because of you this time, and if you’re unable to satisfy me, then you...”
She was hinting at something. He pinned down as his brows became chilly.
“What now? Does it mean that I can’t satisfy you if I don’t tell you now?”
His words seemed to be referring to something as well, but they were different from what she meant.
“Hmph. You’re just unwilling to tell me.”
Her eyes were watery. It turned out that she could not fight back after being pinned down by him.
“Don’t you want to listen? I’ll tell you.”
He suddenly sat up and looked at the sofa beside the coffee table. There was an insurmountable force in his voice which pulled her thoughts to somewhere far. Everything was connected—her company facing a crisis and her being in an accident in front of the aquarium.
He spoke for a long time as she listened beside him quietly.
