Chapter 1477: The Man with Two Faces
“You’re even scarier than a monster!” Pei Ge stuck out her tongue at him, her red and moist lips endearing the man .
“Say that again!” Ji Ziming pinched her chin, suddenly noticing that it was slimmer and sharper than usual . He thought, She’s so skinny and small, how will she provide enough nutrition for the baby?
“Are you crazy?” She swatted his large hand away, unable to guess what he was thinking .
“You’re not allowed to go to the company . Stay at home and properly wait for your pregnancy to stabilize . Also, what’s the deal with your injuries?” His gaze turned grim as he squinted at her . “I’ll treat you like that again if you don’t explain today’s event to me clearly . ”
“You…”
Does this man have two faces? The one who dotes on me and the one who tortures me are him .
“I fell down the stairs . ”
“What?!”
His eyes widened in shock as he emitted an air so cold that one would not dare to be near him . Pei Ge continued looking at him, not daring to say anything else . That was because the words she had spoken just then already had the effect of punching a hole in the man’s heart .
“How did you fall down the stairs?” He looked up, eyeing the staircase which had tens of steps, and walked over .
Conflicted, the woman did not know if she should tell him that it was because Qu Jingwan had rubbed a thin layer of oil on the stairs . Auntie Zhang had already wiped the whole staircase clean again, and she could even see her reflection in it now from how pristine it was .
“I was just careless . You don’t need to check it further . ” While the man was preoccupied with studying the staircase, she picked up the iodophor from the tabletop and gently rubbed it on herself . The minty sting made her suck in her breath a few times, yet she did not dare to make another sound, afraid that the man would run over and torture her again with it .
“Does it hurt?” With his long legs, the man only needed a few steps to return to her side . Seeing the large area of injury on her arm, it was no wonder that she was wearing long sleeves at home .
“It doesn’t hurt anymore . ”
He grabbed her hand, which was holding the cotton bud, and lowered his head to kiss it . “Ge Ge, I caused you hurt . ”
Pei Ge was stunned as she watched him sit before her and take the cotton from her to continue disinfecting her wound . “Don’t let it touch water . I’ll bathe you later and have the housekeepers to layer the entire staircase, including the areas which have smooth flooring, with a carpet later . I saw your indoor slippers moments ago . Did you change to another pair? Their soles are still quite slippery . I’ll ask the Gucci manager to make a pair for you…”
She silently listened to all his arrangements . If all these were real, then she must be the world’s most blessed woman .
After dinner, the man personally washed a basket of assorted fruits in the kitchen and delivered them to her room . Seeing the three cute children sprawled out on the carpet, he frowned unhappily . “Why are you guys still not resting in your room? Don’t you know that your mommy is pregnant?”
“Daddy, I wanna sleep with mommy tonight . ” Ran Ran pouted, her large and beautiful eyes blinking as she acted cutesy .
“No, you can’t . ” His gaze turned cold, scaring his daughter so much that she pressed her lips tightly and did not dare to speak further .
“Little sister, let’s go . Mommy really needs our daddy’s care right now . We’ll only bother her by staying here . ” An An consoled his sibling upon seeing that her eyes had turned red .
“But I wanna sleep with mommy . ” The girl refused to move . She had not slept in the same bed as her mother for a long time .
“Ziming, it’s fine to let Ran Ran sleep with me . ” Seeing how stubborn her daughter was being and how unwilling she was to give in, Pei Ge could not bear it . She was not even pregnant, and this man was making such a big fuss over nothing .

“No . What if she kicks your stomach while asleep?”
“That won’t happen . ”
“Even so, no . ” The man insisted on this point as he placed the basket on the side table . He turned to the children and said, “Hurry up and go back to your room . Daddy will sleep with mommy tonight . Once she gives birth to your sibling, you guys can sleep with her again, okay?”
His tone softened .
“Hng! Bad daddy!” spat her daughter before angrily running out of the room .
“Ji Chi, aren’t you leaving?” The man coldly eyed his son, who was still standing by the bedside .
“I…” This side-eye made the boy’s hands, which were behind his back, tremble slightly . Mustering up his courage, he placed them in front of himself and said, “This is the castle I made in the afternoon . For you . ” With that, he fled from the room in a fluster .
Pei Ge felt her heart become warm at the sight of this small castle on her bed . “He must be about to remember me . ”
“He will slowly remember you . Don’t think about it anymore; come have some fruit, instead . ” The man picked up the basket and walked over to her . The cozy feeling he gave made her feel very touched . “Have some cherries . They’re good for your skin and the baby . ”
When he finally reached her, she took a deep breath . “Ziming, I have something to say to you . ”
“Say it after you finish eating these . ”

“No, I want to say it now . ”
“If it’s about you returning to the company for work, then forget it . I won’t agree to it . As my woman, you don’t have to rush around everywhere and work so hard . Just stay at home; I can still afford to support you . ”
“Can you listen to me first?” She tugged at his silk pajamas—the color and design of which was something she had chosen for him .
“Okay . Say it, then . ” He placed the basket on the tabletop and looked into her eyes, which were slightly moist .
“I’m truly not pregnant . If you don’t believe it, we can go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow . ”
“Didn’t you have morning sickness? It was so serious, so how could you not be pregnant?”
“I didn’t have morning sickness . My stomach happened to be upset that day . ”
“I don’t believe it . ” He shook his head as tenderness crept up his eyes . His large hand gently caressed her smooth and straight black hair . “Sleep first . We can discuss everything tomorrow, okay? I know that you’ve suffered today and are already feeling tired . ”
“I’m not kidding . I’m serious about it . I can show you the pregnancy test kit . It’s already ready . A single red line means that I’m not pregnant and double red lines mean that I am . ”
He remained silent as he looked at her with an unreadable gaze .
“Are you telling the truth?”

“Yes . I’m really not pregnant . ”
“Then, why did the doctor not say anything when he came this afternoon?”
“I told him not to say it . I was afraid that auntie would get a shock . It’s my fault . If you still don’t believe me, let’s go to the hospital for a body checkup . ”
“You’re truly not pregnant?”
“I’m truly not . I’m telling you now because I don’t wanna lie to you, and I don’t wanna lie about this . I know that you’re very disappointed . You’re probably desperately hoping that I’m pregnant, but I…” Her words pricked the man’s heart .
