“I don’t think it’s very nice of you to lay a hand on her because me; don’t you think so, too?” Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes at the lady coldly . “If you think that my family is too small for you and your petty tricks, you can always leave . ”
With tears in her eyes, Qu Jingwan’s gaze on Pei Ge turned vicious . “If I said that I didn’t do it, then I truly didn’t do it . ”
“Haven’t you done enough?” asked the man .
“I said—”
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Ji entered the living room . “What are you guys doing? Pei Ge only got discharged today . Son, what’re you arguing with Jingwan over?” The older woman frowned when she noticed the strange atmosphere between the three .
“We were just talking about what Miss Qu had done . ” The man’s gaze turned sharp as he looked at the lady in question . He wondered what secrets she was hiding .
“Auntie, Pei Ge fell . I was helping her, but Ziming thought that I pushed her,” timidly explained Qu Jingwan with a pale face .
“Say, son; Jingwan kindly welcomed you all . How heartless are you to treat her like this?” asked his mother . “Even if you don’t understand her, I do . Let go of this on my account no matter whose fault it was . ” She defended the lady as the two walked past them .
“Miss Qu, sorry; I made Ziming misunderstand you,” said Pei Ge softly as the man remained silent .
“It’s fine . ” The other shook her head . “As long as you’re fine . ”
“En . ” She nodded as she tugged at the man’s shirt . “You’re really mistaken; I truly fell down on my own . See; there’s water here . ”
She pointed to the water stains on the floor which were responsible for her fall .
“Really?” He frowned .
“Really . It’s really not her fault . You’re mistaken about her . ”
“Did she really act out of kindness?” She watched the lady help the man’s mother to the living room couch .
“No, that’s just a misconception; don’t be deceived by her . ” Ji Ziming reminded her as he carried the boxes and helped her walk in .
In the living room, the three children played with building blocks . Having not seen Ji Chi for over three months, Ran Ran passed him blocks to build a castle . It was as if she were his princess, and he were her lackey .
“This one should go on top,” instructed the girl .
“That’s not right; this one should be yellow . Only the witch’s castle is black, and she’s evil . ” She continued as she removed the black roof and pointed to the yellow one .
“Aiya! Big brother, that one’s wrong, too!” She pointed to the knight that An An had just attached to the castle .
“I think our daughter is just like you,” commented Ji Ziming .
“Really?” Pei Ge found it hard to believe . The girl had always been more outgoing than she was .
“Don’t you think so?” The man watched her gaze tenderly at their daughter .
“If you say so; let’s go in . ”
“En . ” He nodded .
Happiness rose in the woman’s heart as she entered the room and saw that all were still the same as they were before . The man crept to her and hugged her from behind when he saw that she was spacing out in her room . “What’s wrong?”
The woman was shocked by his sudden hug . “Nothing; I was just looking around . ”
“So serious?”
“En . I was checking if the room is any different from when I left . ”
“And your conclusion?”
“Nothing’s different . ”
“So why are you still looking at it?” He pressed his face onto hers . The cool sensation made the woman feel that everything was surreal .
“What about Qu Jingwan?”
“Don’t worry about it . I’ll deal with her . ”
“You’re definitely mistaken about her today . ”
“I know; don’t worry . You’re my woman, so no one can bully you, not her or even my mother,” he said as he walked before her .
The man’s eyes were cold, but the sincerity in them moved her . Everything he had said made waves in her heart .
“I know . ” She leaned on him, and his scent put her at ease .
“Then, let’s go down once we’re done cleaning up . After all, I still have something to say . ”
“What?” she asked, frowning .
“You’ll know once we go down . ” He looked at her tenderly .
When the man made his announcement, she was putting food into Ji Chi’s bowl . Having not seen him for so many days, she felt that he was not as wary of her as he was before .
“Pei Ge will be traveling under the identity of the CEO’s wife, so I’ll be bringing her to the company to familiarize herself with how things are run fast . ”
“What? You’re letting her go to the company as your wife?” His mother put her chopsticks down . It was one thing to let this woman go to the company; it was another thing to let her go there as the CEO’s wife .
“Mom, you’ve seen how well she’s been running her company all these years . If we bring her to our company, what’s wrong with that? Besides, she’s the mother of my children . ”
The man tried to convince his mother .
“No! If you let her go to the company, what about Jingwan? She’s the publicly acknowledged daughter-in-law of our family . What position are you putting me and her in?” The older woman got increasingly agitated as she spoke; her cheeks even flushed . It had been a while since she lost her temper .
“Miss Qu, we shall settle our issues in private . I’m merely nominating Pei Ge today for the company’s sake . I hope that you don’t think too much of this . If you’re truly my family’s chosen daughter-in-law, then you should be more concerned about the company’s future, shouldn’t you?”
