“He’s fine, he’s fine.”
Ji Ziming’s voice deepened as he thought of Qu Xiujie, who was lying on a sick bed now. Perhaps, his men had begun serving him like a group of nannies. The doctors might even be unable to get close to that fella, so what more of those attackers?
“That’s good. I just had a dream that Old lady Qu came to the hospital.”
Ji Ziming was shocked to hear Pei Ge say that.
“Since he’s awake, let’s get up. We’ll go to the hospital to visit Qu Xiujie today. If there’s nothing serious, I’ll get someone to bring him to the villa on the mountain. Staying in the hospital is not a solution either.”
Ji Ziming pinched Pei Ge’s cheeks. Her skin was soft and smooth. It was a rare sight in the morning.
“Okay.”
Pei Ge nodded and was about to lift the blanket when Ji Ziming pressed her down on the bed.
She widened her eyes at him. “What are you doing?”
“Since you’re awake, feed me first. I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
The hardest part was pressed against the softest part, and the morning sun was shining brightly.
By the time Ji Ziming and Pei Ge arrived at the hospital, Qu Xiujie was sitting on the bed and reading a fashion magazine with his glasses on. His curvy figure was very attractive on the front page of the magazine.
“Mr. Qu, how’s your recovery?”
The two bodyguards brought over two sofas and Ji Ziming and Pei Ge sat on them. Ji Ziming’s eyes were slightly closed as he looked at Qu Xiujie with a hint of danger. His voice was low. “Are you planning to stay in the hospital for a few more days?”
“Mr Ji and madam are here. Aiyo, my small ward is really graced with your presence.”
Qu Xiujie looked at Ji Ziming in shock and flipped the most revealing page of the magazine as though he was declaring war.
“This ward is mine.”
Ji Ziming’s voice was low and threatening.
The sharp glint in his eyes made Qu Xiujie’s lips twitch.
“Fine, fine. If it’s yours, it’s yours. Your family is big and powerful, what’s wrong with taking in a lonely old man like me?”
Qu Xiujie did not argue with Ji Ziming and started pouring water on him.
“Hmph.”
Ji Ziming harrumphed and was about to speak when he was stopped by Pei Ge. “Mr. Qu, let the bodyguards escort you back to the mountain villa today. I’m afraid you can’t stay in this hospital anymore.”
“Why? Why can’t I stay any longer?”
Qu Xiujie’s lips curled up as he looked at Pei Ge’s eyes that were similar to his and his voice became gentle.
“Didn’t you realize that Old lady Qu has already laid her hands on you? Even if Ziming’s bodyguards are protecting you, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t send someone to hide among the doctors, nurses, or even the cleaning lady.”
Pei Ge was telling the truth. In the morning, there was a cleaning lady who insisted on coming in to clean, but she was stopped by the bodyguards outside, so nothing happened.
“You’re right. Should I go to the villa on the mountain now?”
The corners of Qu Xiujie’s lips curled up as a hidden emotion surrounded him and Pei Ge.
“Right. Better right away.”
She was certain.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, Ge Ge.”
Qu Xiujie’s eyes were filled with amusement. He could already see Ji Ziming’s dark expression sitting beside Pei Ge. Although it was teasing, Qu Xiujie still liked seeing Ji Ziming like this.
Because of a woman, because of a woman who resembled him.
“You can’t call her that.”
Indeed, when Ji Ziming was unhappy, as long as Qu Xiujie knew that he was wrong, he could consider whether he should continue protecting him.
However, before Ji Ziming could consider, Old lady Qu came to visit.
“CEO, Old lady Qu is standing at the door and wants to see Mr. Qu.”
The bodyguard chief walked nervously to Ji Ziming’s side and bent down to whisper into his ear.
When Ji Ziming passed it to Qu Xiujie, he reminded him repeatedly not to let Qu Xiujie meet Old lady Qu.
And now, Old lady Qu was really here.
When Ji Ziming heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Qu Xiujie who was laughing happily on the bed. He said jokingly, “Mr. Qu, your family is here. Do you want to meet them?”
“Family? That old woman?”
Qu Xiujie was shocked. This proved that all his efforts were in vain. Those people whom he bribed in the past had also turned to Old lady Qu. The current situation was clear. Other than Ji Ziming, he had nothing else.
“No!”
Qu Xiujie’s voice was heavy and the magazine in his hand seemed to have lost its life. He crawled into bed and covered his chin with the blanket, looking like a terminally ill patient.
“Oh? How can you not meet her? She is your family.”
Ji Ziming was prepared to watch a good show and ordered the bodyguards to let him bring Old lady Qu in.
Just as Qu Xiujie was about to retort, he heard the door of the ward being opened. He cursed Ji Ziming softly, “Ji Ziming, you are too ruthless.”
The smile on Ji Ziming’s lips contrasted with the dark smile on his face. Even Qu Xiujie, who was dozens of years older than Ji Ziming, could not take advantage of Pei Ge’s name in front of him.
Pei Ge could only be his and no one could snatch her away.
“Mr Ji, Madam Ji, both of you are here?”
Old lady Qu walked in with her secretary. Her standard smile was obvious when she saw Qu Xiujie lying on the bed.
“Yes, what a coincidence. Old lady Qu is here too.”
Ji Ziming’s lips were cold and his cold aura made Old lady Qu’s heart skip a beat.
Indeed, one should not underestimate Ji Ziming or Pei Ge, who was standing beside him.
Now that she took a closer look, Pei Ge really resembled that woman. Her eyes resembled Qu Xiujie’s even more. Even Old lady Qu had to admit that Pei Ge really looked like that woman that when she entered, it was as though she saw that woman for a moment.
As Old lady Qu was from the Qu family, Pei Ge did not wish to interact with her. She stood beside Ji Ziming throughout the entire visit and did not say a word. She was as cold as a fairy on a mountain peak.
However, such a fairy became Old lady Qu’s thorn.
“Alright. Since Xiujie still needs to stay in the hospital for a while longer, I won’t disturb him anymore. I’ve really troubled Ji Ziming and Madam.”
Old lady Qu’s polite smile made Ji Ziming feel nauseous. If not for the fact that she was the Qu family’s old lady, he would have chased her out by now.
