Chapter 1455: Beginning of Investigation
“I know . How could I not know? You would even abandon your mother for her . ”
“Mom, that’s quite harsh . ”
“‘Quite harsh’? Isn’t that how you’re treating Jingwan? You let her go home herself . You refused to say anything initially, but I forced it out of her . She had your best interest at heart . How could you do that to her?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes turned dark as he became more determined . “That’s the daughter-in-law you have in mind and not in mine . ”
“I’m done talking with you; you’ll be the death of me . ”
Madam Ji waved to her grandson . “Come on . Go home with grandma . ”
Ji Chi ran over and looked at his father before hiding behind his grandmother .
“Don’t be afraid . Granny’s bringing you home . If you want to see your mommy, I’ll bring you over tomorrow, alright?”
“En . ” The boy nodded and he looked at his mother, who was also looking at him .
“Son, mom won’t argue with you anymore . I’m bringing the boy home . Pei Ge’s a patient; take good care of her . ” The older woman did not want to argue with her son further . She knew how stubborn he was . There was no changing his mind once he set onto something .
“Okay . Be careful on your way back . ”
“I know . Baby, say goodbye to your daddy . ”
The lad looked up at his father . He moved his mouth but did not say anything .
“I don’t know what’s up with Baby . Since Jingwan returned, she hasn’t had time for him . She leaves early in the morning and returns late at night, and I have no idea who she’s hanging out with . ”
His mother’s passing remark made waves in Ji Ziming’s heart .
His woman said that Qu Jingwan was among those who would benefit if something untoward happened to her .
Doubt flashed across his eyes, which went unnoticed to his mother . As she brought the boy past his side, the man grabbed hold of him . “Ji Chi, are you coming tomorrow?”
The lad halted in his step before he nodded .
Pei Ge, who was now seated on the bed, had no idea what the others were talking because of this ward’s soundproofing . As she watched the grandmother-grandchild pair leave, her heart felt empty, and the disappointment in her eyes did not go unnoticed to the man .
Ji Ziming opened the door, walked inside, and said in his masculine voice, “Your son will be coming tomorrow; don’t think about this anymore . ”
“Really?” Her eyes lit up .
“Don’t you want me here?” He pinched his woman’s chin . “Do you know who I am?”
The latter slapped his hand away and rubbed her chin, feigning unhappiness . “You’re already a dad, yet you’re still fighting for favor with Ping An?”

“That’s ’cause his mother is too biased . ” He sat next to her and untied the bandage on her leg gently . “Are you mad that we had to put up this pretense?”
“I’m not . I know that you have my best interest at heart . How could I get mad?” Pei Ge looked at the man intently, but there was no emotion to be found on his face . He appeared to be a different man from the one who had gotten jealous of his son earlier .
“You really think so?”
“Not only do I think so, I even know what your next step’s gonna be . ”
Ji Ziming frowned as he looked at her .
“Oh, do tell me about it . ”
“You’re planning to ask me what I intend to do with the person who turned himself in . ”
He paused as he looked at the woman seriously, and in doing so, the coldness in his eyes seemed to intensify . “So what’s your intent?”
“I wanna meet him . He’s a father and a husband . I can tell that he really cares about his family . ”
“You wanna go to the police station?”
“En . ” Pei Ge nodded . “Let’s go . ”

“I’m not going . ” He disagreed with her while he continued his actions .
“Why not?” She could not fathom this . He even agreed with letting her waive off the medical fees of that person’s sick daughter . Why was he disagreeing with her now?
“One, though he’s not the one who ran you over, he’s still related to the person who did . Two, it’s a matter of principle . ” The man used a slight force to press on her wound as he continued to unwrap the bandage on her leg .
“Ahh!” she cried in pain .
“Does it hurt?” The man relented a bit, but his voice was still cold and authoritative .
She kept quiet, not understanding him .
“That’s right . Your wound hurts, but it hurts more here—even more than your wound . ” He looked up at her and put his hand on his chest . “Do you know? My world went dark when you got hit by that car . Thankfully, you’re still healthy and by my side . ”
“Ziming…” She was touched by his words, never expecting him to be so affected by her getting run over .
Pei Ge smiled and hugged the man tightly as she leaned against him . “Believe me; I’ll never leave your side again . Never . ” Tears streamed down her eyes .
“Just stay by my side, and I will protect you . ”
As the two embraced, the woman planted hope on the man . The latter suddenly imagined the former smiling at him amid the flowers . It was a beautiful scene that he could not remove from his mind .

“Hey, let me do this . When I’m done with it, I’ll listen to whatever you say in the future, alright?” pleaded Pei Ge . Even though she knew that he was strongly against it, she still attempted to persuade him .
“You still want to go?” The man’s eyes turned cold as his aura got colder .
The woman knew that there was no turning back and that she had no other choice . “Yes, just let me do this, or else I’ll never let it go . ”
Ji Ziming released the woman from his embrace and took in her determined expression . He knew what she was like—that she would work consistently toward achieving her goal .
“Fine, but I’m coming with you,” he said after a long pause .
“Mwah!” She kissed him on the cheek . The joy could not be hidden from her eyes as they turned into crescents .
As he saw the happiness on her face, Ji Ziming felt joy blossom from his chest . He was happy as long as she was .
