On the way home, the man did not ask about Tang Xiaoyu .
He did not even speak much .
The still and silent atmosphere in the dark car made Pei Ge slightly awkward .
For some reason, she just wanted to say something .
“Ziming, how are the kids at home? Are they already asleep?”
Her light cough broke the silence .
“Mhm . They’re already asleep,” he replied succinctly .
She was slightly taken aback by his response because she understood how difficult it was to coax those two to bed .
Bedtime stories must be read to them before they would sleep .
“You read bedtime stories to them?”
She looked at him in surprise . With the man’s handsome yet cold face, she did not think him capable of coaxing children to bed and even telling them bedtime stories .
“I did . ” The man nodded at her in response .
“What story did you read to them?” The woman was suddenly curious because the storybook she left on An An and Ran Ran’s bed featured several fairy tales for children .
“…Cinderella,” softly replied the man after a prolonged silence .
Even if he was expressionless, she could clearly sense the struggle in his eyes when he mentioned the story’s title .
“Pfft!”
She let out a laugh and grinned as she observed the man’s side profile .
Seeing that aloof yet perfect face, all the gloominess in her heart disappeared without a trace .
All the negative emotions that she had for her best friend were gone because of the man .
“Cinderella… Sometimes, I feel that I’m just like that fairytale character . ”
She raised her head slightly as she leaned back on her seat and looked at the night scenery with a complicated gaze .
She was surrounded by numerous people who were helping her find happiness .
Pei Ge did not expect this light sigh of hers to invoke Ji Ziming’s reactions .
“You’re not Cinderella . ”
Red light . The car stopped .
His words were like a basin of cold water splashing at the woman and waking her up .
“Huh?”
Baffled, she looked at him and asked, “Why?”
“Because I’m not a prince . ”
A brilliant smile appeared on her face at the simple reply .
“Ha ha ha!”
She laughed for a long while before stopping .
She then focused an intense gaze on the man .
“Ziming, do you think I’m really dumb?”
The corners of her lips curled into a helpless smile . “I treat Xiaoyu and Zhengrong with double standards, and though I clearly know that my best friend… might be lying to me, I…”
She did not continue speaking and merely smiled helplessly .
“No, you aren’t dumb but just too kindhearted . ” The man stopped the car by the roadside and turned to look at her . “But Pei Ge, sometimes, I hope that you’ll be nastier . Like this, you won’t be at a disadvantage and won’t be hurt . ”
