Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ji Ziming intended to bring his girlfriend home to stay with him today.
Alas, some plans were just meant to fall through.
The moment he brought it up, Pei Ge’s mother rejected his idea.
“Xiao Ji, auntie isn’t being conservative, but you both are neither engaged nor married, so this isn’t very good. How about I let my daughter move in to your place after you two get engaged next week?”
He could only dejectedly go home by himself.
“Understood,” he replied, his voice full of disappointment.
Zhang Manhua shook her head in amusement at his disappointed look and blinked at her daughter. “Go see your boyfriend off.”
“Mhm.”
Pei Ge nodded and followed the man down.
As both reached the staircase landing, the man, who seemed to be upset, suddenly spoke. “I really wish that our engagement party is today.”
If that were the case, I would be able to bring you back home.
Although the man did not explain himself, after receiving her mother’s advice, she easily figured out what he meant.
“Why are you so anxious?”
She beamed at him with happiness.
Look at how much he loves me!
“What do you think?”
Seeing the happiness evident on her face, he cocked his brow and asked.
“I really think that you’re very anxious. If not, why would you suddenly want us to get engaged next week?”
She grinned and pulled a cheeky face.
Upon seeing her brimming with joy, his upset mood dissipated.
” Gasp! Tell me the truth; did you decide to rush our engagement because you got jealous of senior?”
Unable to keep the matters in her heart, she recounted what her mother had told her earlier.
He was taken aback by her question.
Noting his stunned expression, she knew at once that her mother was right.
“Ah! It’s true, after all!”
She pouted in indignation.
It appeared that she was upset with him for rushing their engagement because of someone else.
“No.”
All of a sudden, he broke his silence.
“It’s not because I’m jealous.”
She was confused when he said that.
“Ah? It’s not? If it’s not because of that, then why?”
She blinked, feeling perplexed.
“I just… want you to be rightfully mine earlier, so that I can lay my mark on you.”
He fervently stared at her with his dark eyes.
“Mingxuan has a part in making me rush our engagement, but he isn’t the entire cause of it.”
He gently wrapped his hands around hers.
“Your place in my heart is way more important than you think.”
These words sent an electric current surging straight to her heart.
This man was as cold as an iceberg.
Nevertheless, when he was speaking words of love, he was so passionate that it could melt one’s heart.
At least, her heart was almost melted by his words.
“Ziming…”
She gently rested her head on his shoulder in bliss.
“Same here. You are way more important to me than you think.”
The man kissed her red lips the moment she finished speaking.
Their love deepened as their lips interlocked with each other.
In the dark and cramped landing stood two lovers passionately kissing with interlocked hands. There was nothing that could interrupt them.
Only when he saw that the woman in his embrace was close to suffocating did he release her.
“I promise to give you the most splendid engagement party and enviable wedding.”
Although he sounded cold, the love in his voice was indisputable.
“I don’t need a splendid engagement party nor an enviable wedding; as long as you are the groom, I’ll be very grateful and happy.”
She hugged him tightly as bliss lit her face and eyes.
“Stupid woman, only I can marry you; your groom is destined to be me alone.”
He lightly rapped her head and chuckled.
“If you’re afraid that I will run away, then marry me quickly. Once I’m in your grip, I will be unable to leave you.”
Listening to him say that, her face was filled with satisfaction.
“Yes! You’ll be tightly in my grip, and I’ll tie you by my side, such that you can only have me in this lifetime!” She hugged him more tightly.
The lovey-dovey couple’s show of affection was shielded from view when they left the staircase landing.
“Alright. Quickly go home! It’s getting late.”
“Okay. Head back up!”
After sending him off, she returned home.
The man, for his part, did not go to his apartment and drove toward his parents’ residence.
