His voice was filled with doubt. He had investigated the Qu family’s matters, but the main target of investigation was Old Lady Qu. Instead, he had totally forgotten about the young master, Qu Xiujie, who only messed around outside and found trouble for his father.
“I’m certain. I can see that his eyes are clear and pure. Believe in me; he definitely doesn’t feel anything for me. You are probably the only person who thinks that way.”
She chuckled. Although she was restricted by how possessive he was and could not get close to most men around her, she liked him this way. It was precisely because he acted this way that she felt safe and proud of being the woman beside this all-powerful man.
In the end, a woman could only feel the sincere emotion which was lacking in life when she had a man.
“What? Aren’t you happy that I’m treating you like this?”
With a light smile, he covered her entire head with the blanket and soon burrowed into the blanket himself.
It was yet again another night of pleasure. He had totally broken his highest record for his nightlife. Dawn had broken by the time he let her fall into dreamland.
Her dream was beautiful. With the man by her side in this relationship, it was as though she was wrapped in his love, covered in honey and bliss.
When the sun was up the next day, the family had their breakfast, then Ji Ziming drove Pei Ge to work. They had just stepped into the company when the leader of the bodyguards called.
“Sir, Mr. Qu still hasn’t woken up.”
The leader was very worried that Qu Xiujie had become comatose from that accident.
“What did the doctor say?”
Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes. If that guy did not wake up, Old Lady Qu would have reason to cause trouble with him. He originally wanted to protect Qu Xiujie but did not expect to get into trouble because of him, instead.
“Sir, the doctor said that he will wake up. All his vital signs are normal. I asked the doctor again just moments ago and was told that, with his condition, if he does not wake up soon, he might end up not waking up at all, becoming a vegetative person.”
The leader of the bodyguards sweat cold buckets as he spoke, afraid that Ji Ziming would flare up at him and fire him from the Ji Group for failing to protect Qu Xiujie well.
However, what he did not expect was that the man would chuckle on the phone. “It’s fine. Just listen to the doctor. If he wakes up, go to the hillside mansion. If he doesn’t, then continue watching over him in the hospital. There are all sorts of people in the hospital, so you guys need to be more vigilant and watchful.”
“Yes, sir.”
The leader let out a breath of relief. Luckily, the man did not get to the bottom of the matter.
“Give me a call if he wakes up.”
Ji Ziming hung up after saying this, then held hands with Pei Ge as they walked into the elevator. The couple entered the elevator under the eyes and sighs of wonder of the employees on the first floor.
“Gosh... Did you see that? The CEO was holding hands with the madam.”
“I saw it; I saw it. Did you notice? The CEO was smiling. It’s so rare to see him smiling. I’m willing to live a few more years because of that!”
“Shouldn’t you be saying that you are willing to die early, instead?”
The first employee gave the second employee a look of disdain. The mockery in her tone was even more obvious.
“If the CEO is willing to look at me, I will be fine with dying early.”
“Then, you should just live a few more years. From what I see, even if you live tens more years, the CEO is likely not to see you at all.”
“You are so annoying. If I have madam’s outstanding looks and figure, I’m sure that the boss will definitely see me.”
“What a pity. You don’t have her outstanding brain.”
The first employee mocked the second employee again. The two women stood at the entrance, their skirts billowing in the gentle breeze. They were also a rare sight among the numerous beautiful employees here.
The couple took the elevator directly up to the CEO’s office on the top floor. Ji Ziming was supposed to have a meeting with the Chu Group’s founder about an acquisition, but the other party had requested to meet Pei Ge, instead.
“What do you think of acquiring YR Company?” asked the man upon entering the office. He was thinking that the founder Chu Jie wanted to meet his woman because of her reputation overseas having spread in the Chinese circle. In fact, there were already many large companies that requested Pei Ge to lead the acquisition.
“YR has stable financial input. Moreover, it has excellent R&D capability. I think we will have to expend some effort to acquire it, so I don’t recommend it. In addition, YR is a corporation, so I feel that...”
“What if the acquisition price is adequate?”
He sat down on the sofa and smiled, giving her a look of praise.
“Do you mean to spend as much money as required?”
Although she did see potential in the company, she was not very agreeable on the Ji Group’s acquisition plan.
“As long as the price is right, I don’t think they will refuse it.”
He spoke of it lightly, then suddenly recalled that when she was overseas in the past, her company was almost acquired by another.
“I don’t think so. A corporation like theirs has its rules. Since they worked so hard to build it and get it back on track, I don’t think they will be willing to give it up.”
Pei Ge did not agree and even objected to his view.
“Then, how about we try?”
He revealed a sly and evil smile.
“Fine.”
Of course, she did not believe it. She had been in this industry for many years, so how could she let an opportunity like this slip by?
“The bet is one night.”
He chuckled, his gaze turning even more seductive.
“What?”
The woman doubted her ears. Her pretty face was filled with questions as she directed a quizzical look at the man, wanting to get a clue from his face, but she did not see anything in it. The couple only ended up staring at each other until a secretary knocked at the door from outside.
“Come in.”
The man’s smile instantly vanished, replaced by aloofness.
“Sir, YR’s CEO is asking when you are available for the meeting. I had him return at 3 PM, according to your schedule in our company’s meeting room. Is this acceptable?”
“Yes.”
He nodded, shifting his gaze from the secretary to Pei Ge. The smile in his eyes made goosebumps run down the latter’s body.
