Chapter 2005: Ziming, Let’s Go
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“If you continue kneeling down, I won’t give you any red packets during the new year.”
Ji Ziming’s voice was cold yet warm.
The intern, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head and looked into Ji Ziming’s deep eyes. The thumping of her heart reached her ears. She seemed to have seen the pink cherry blossom petals beside Ji Ziming fall with a white mist. Ji Ziming stood in the white mist and looked at her quietly with a smile.
“Ziming, let’s go then.”
All her beautiful dreams were shattered by Pei Ge’s sudden voice.
Pei Ge, who had just entered the store, only said this when she realized that the intern kneeling on the ground was trembling as though he had been frightened for a long time.
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming looked at the intern who was still kneeling on the ground and did not say anything else. He only held Pei Ge’s hand and left the store with the blue folder, leaving the intern kneeling on the ground. His eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
“If you kneel down again, the CEO will not like you.”
Xu Huihui stood up to get a folder for Ji Ziming and watched him leave the store. Standing beside the intern, she said, “If you don’t get up now, the CEO won’t even look back at you.”
“I know.”
The intern got up from the floor and looked at Ji Ziming’s back. “Manager, I know. I just want to see if the CEO will…”
“No matter what you’re thinking, I’ll tell you that it’s impossible. The CEO has a wife. The CEO and his wife are the best stories in the industry. Husband and wife love each other. You really don’t have a chance. If you have a chance, I’m afraid all the little sisters in our shop will have a chance. After all, they’ve been in contact with the CEO more than you have. Why do you have to do this?”
Xu Huihui looked at the intern with a hint of pity. The relationship hidden in the corners of her lips was almost undetectable.
Ji Ziming and Pei Ge walked out of the shopping mall and sat in the black Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance. Only then did Pei Ge say in a light voice, “That intern looked at you weirdly just now.”
Pei Ge laughed out loud and saw that Ji Ziming did not mind her words at all.
“Why? Is Madam jealous?”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled up as he started the car and drove into the Ji Group’s parking lot in a suave manner. Before he could stop, Pei Ge’s phone rang.
It was close to noon, yet Zhang Manhua’s phone kept ringing.
“Mom, why did you call?”
Pei Ge curled her fingers and a hint of nervousness flowed around her.
“Ge Ge, didn’t you say that you’ve reunited with uncle? I’m going to pack my things in the next two days and I’ll be returning home.”
“You want to come back?”
Pei Ge was a little surprised. Her face was filled with anticipation.
“That’s right. I’ll settle everything here in the next two days and then return.”
Zhang Manhua’s voice was filled with undisguised joy as she thought about visiting Qu Xiujie when she returned to the country. This Qu family did not think that the two of them had such a relationship when they met before but now that they knew the truth, their thoughts had changed.
“Okay, Mom. I’ll let Uncle know when I get back. Don’t worry. When you’re back, I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up.”
Her voice was filled with joy and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears of excitement. She had waited for this moment for too long.
“Ge Ge, wait for me to go back and bring your uncle along. I want to take a good look at him.”
Zhang Manhua’s voice was filled with agitation and she wished she could return to Pei Ge’s side to take a closer look at Qu Xiujie.
“Okay, Mom. I’ll wait for you at home. You have to be careful. Don’t be too anxious. It’s okay.”
Pei Ge’s voice was gentle as she carefully reminded Zhang Manhua to be careful when she returned. However, she did not expect that Zhang Manhua did not care about this and only wanted to come back to see her blood-related relative.
The mother-daughter pair ended the call not long after. Ji Ziming, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, clearly heard that his mother-in-law wanted him to return.
“When will Mom be back?”
“Soon. Within the next two days.”
Pei Ge kept her phone and looked at Ji Ziming before continuing, “Ziming, how long will it take for uncle and mom to return from their trip?”
Pei Ge could not wait to see what would happen when Qu Xiujie reunited with her mother, Zhang Manhua. Just like that, she was already looking forward to it.
“Mom and the rest didn’t say when they would be back, but if you say that Mom has returned to the country, I think they will definitely come back. Also, Uncle will rush back immediately, don’t worry.”
Ji Ziming comforted her as he looked at her lovingly.
“Okay, I’m not worried. As long as uncle comes back.”
Pei Ge nodded. It was enough to know that Qu Xiujie was as eager as her.
“Okay, let’s go back to the office first.”
With that, he opened the car door and walked to her side. Opening the door, he continued, “Let’s go back to the office first.”
When Pei Ge and Ji Ziming returned to the Ji family’s villa from the company, they saw Mother Ji’s favorite car in the courtyard. Such an eye-catching orange car stopped in the middle of the villa and looked like a speck of yellow amidst the greenery.
“Looks like Mom and Uncle are back.”
Ji Ziming parked his car in the Ji family’s parking lot, specifically for the Rolls Royce.
“That way, I won’t have to call Uncle to come back.”
Pei Ge’s lips curled into a smile. Her face was filled with joy at her mother’s return.
The two of them walked into the villa but before they stepped into the house, they heard Qu Xiujie’s ingratiating voice. “Madam, is this temperature okay?”
“How’s this color?”
“Do you want the one on the left or the one on the right?”
…
Pei Ge could not believe it. Was this still her uncle, the Qu Xiujie who fought with Mother Ji for the mask? Was this still the Qu Xiujie who was always arrogant in the capital? Or the Qu Xiujie who wanted to take Pei Ge away just because of a disagreement with Ji Ziming?
“Looks like Uncle has really thought things through.”
There was a hint of silence in his voice, as though he was watching a good show.
“You think so too?”
She looked up and met his dark eyes.. Warmth flowed in her heart.
