Chapter 2001 - I’m Not A Lazy Pig
Pei Ge nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you and leave it to you to make the arrangements. I believe in He Yun’s ability.”
Pei Ge had long believed in He Yun, who was by Ji Ziming’s side. From the moment she met Ji Ziming until now, He Yun had always been loyal to Ji Ziming. Although he had made mistakes at times, he was still serious and meticulous in his work.
“Good. I’ll make the arrangements, and I’ll let you do your pick when the time comes. It’s time for a bath, woman.”
Ji Ziming lay on Pei Ge’s neck. Her body was no longer under his control.
“I’ll wash it myself.”
Pei Ge was about to stand up when she realized that the pair of hands on her stomach had already restrained her from moving.
“Let go of me.”
The smile in Pei Ge’s eyes disappeared and was replaced by anger.
What she did not know, though, was that to Ji Ziming right now, she was extremely scary.
“No, I’ll bathe you, okay?”
His voice was gentle and coquettish.
“No, I don’t want you to help me.”
Although she knew that her wound could not be touched by water, compared to touching Ji Ziming, she still preferred to take a shower by herself. Even without Ji Ziming doing anything, she could quickly wash herself.
“What if I want to bathe you?”
Ji Ziming moved away from her neck and looked up at her with a smile. “Ge Ge, let me bathe you. I promise not to touch you unnecessarily.”
Pei Ge would rather believe her own scars than believe his words at this point.
“No, if you don’t let go, I’ll...”
Pei Ge rolled her eyes and pouted. She did not think about what she should do if she did not agree to Ji Ziming. Her usual threats were no longer effective.
“What will you do? Not let me get on the bed?”
Ji Ziming’s voice carried a hint of a smile, as though he already knew what Pei Ge was going to do to him next. However, how could he not understand what his woman wanted to do?
“One of them. Let me tell you, hurry up and let go. Otherwise, you...”
“I will die an ugly death. Then let me die an ugly death.”
Ji Ziming looked like he had nothing to lose. It was not easy to gain her trust.
“You can try.”
She had only said that casually when she was carried by him in a princess-like manner. The slippers on her feet fell onto the carpet and made a dull sound. Due to the sudden movement, she tightly hugged the collar of his pajamas.
There were no marks on the gray silk pajamas, but Pei Ge’s fair arms were hanging around Ji Ziming’s neck. She sounded even more nervous. “Ziming, you can’t bathe me. My wound hasn’t healed yet.”
“But I want to.”
Ji Ziming finally relaxed a little and then answered with his inner thoughts.
“I know. Just wait, wait until I feel better.”
Pei Ge took a step back as well. Seeing the hurt look in Ji Ziming’s eyes, she knew that he had been holding back for her. However, she could not fulfill his dream before her wound recovered.
Actually, Pei Ge knew that even if she wanted to, Ji Ziming would not really touch her. This was because he was so quiet and gentle when he bathed her. This made Pei Ge a little unwilling to believe that this man was the ‘beast’ who could torture her in bed until midnight.
The two of them drifted off to sleep amidst the sound of their breathing. Pei Ge, who was nestled in Ji Ziming’s warm embrace, felt very safe and her sleep quality improved.
The morning sun shone through the window and the two of them just woke up on the bed.
Pei Ge’s phone rang. Ji Ziming used his long arms to pick up the phone. His eyes lit up when he saw it was Mother Ji’s call.
“Mom, why are you calling so early?”
Ji Ziming did not understand that Mother Ji had already woken up with the three children at such an early time.
“It’s not me. It’s Ge Ge’s uncle. We’re in R City now. Didn’t he save the damsel in distress yesterday? The beauty he saved won the modeling competition in R City today and announced that old thing in the final round. Great, we’re almost becoming celebrities in R City now.”
It was clearly something to be happy about, but Ji Ziming could hear a hint of complaint and melancholy in Mother Ji’s voice.
“It’s okay, Mom. Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.”
Ji Ziming understood the meaning behind Mother Ji’s words and could only sigh at how this Qu Xiujie was indeed still young. Even a random model that he saved could become the champion of R City’s models. This was the start of a rich and beautiful lady taking a liking to him. He was afraid that Qu Xiujie still did not understand everything.
Thinking of what Qu Xiujie had done in the past, Ji Ziming really suspected that Qu Xiujie was not that person.
After Mother Ji hung up, Ji Ziming picked up his phone and called He Yun.
“He Yun, go and find out the identity of the champion of the modeling competition in R City and make her learn to shut up.”
Ji Ziming’s voice was cold and carried with it the chill of the morning. He looked like a messenger that had just crawled out of hell.
“Okay, CEO, I understand.”
He Yun understood the meaning behind Ji Ziming’s words. Even though she had just spent a cold night on the table, she still wanted to complete the task Ji Ziming had assigned her.
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming harrumphed and hung up the call. Pei Ge, who was in his arms, also showed signs of waking up.
“So early?”
She rubbed her eyes, her face still slightly red. She had slept very well that night.
“Well, yeah. Only a lazy little pig like you will wake up so late.”
Ji Ziming rubbed Pei Ge’s hair. Pei Ge, who had rested her head on his arm the whole night, quickly turned her head away. Before she fell asleep, she was hugged by Ji Ziming. When she woke up, she was still in his embrace, but the direction had changed.
“I’m not a lazy pig.”
Pei Ge mumbled as she buried herself in the blanket. Ji Ziming’s lips curled up as he watched the little woman escape like an ostrich. He pulled the blanket away and planted a kiss on her forehead before continuing, “You are a lazy pig, but I really like it. You can only be my lazy pig. Do you know that, my little woman?”
