“Are you fine?” A fragrant smell came from his breath. As they were too close, Pei Ge’s face was dyed red instantly, and her voice was tinged with embarrassment.

  “I’m fine. Your hand?”


  “It’s good as long as you’re fine.” He looked down at her with his ink-black eyes and raised an eyebrow. “You’re still afraid of me even now?”


  “I’m not. It’s only because you startled me by coming close so suddenly.” She turned her head away, refusing to admit her guilt. In truth, even if she did not look at him, his air and fragrance would still rush toward her as though they had eyes of their own. It was the fragrance of his cologne and pheromones.

  The blend of the two was actually this incredible. She did not feel it in the past, but now that they were in such an intimate position, she had already forgotten what it was that made her afraid to return to the Ji family’s villa earlier.

  “Why do you not dare to look at me?” Ji Ziming lowered his body further. The woman in his eyes was so shy that she did not even have the courage to bicker with him.

  “Your face is too big. I don’t feel like looking at it.”


  She randomly spouted a reason. She did not want him to get closer but also did not want him to get up. Just as the two were reaching a standstill, the man pinched the woman’s chin with his large hand and turned her head toward him. A sparkle was ignited the moment their eyes met.

  “Then, I will let you properly take a look now. Coincidentally, you can assess with your eyes whether my face is like a wash basin or a teacup set.” A smile crept into his lips, as though satisfied with her gaze.

  “Let go of me. Your face is so big; I don’t want to look at it.”


  Let whoever else wants to see it. She closed her eyes, not meeting his eyes.

  “Open your eyes. Is my face so big that you don’t have enough eyes to look at it?” His voice was laced with laughter. The sight of the woman closing her eyes and allowing him to do as he pleased made his mood soar and suddenly want to tease her.

  “I won’t open them. I already said that your face is too big, yet you’re still forcing me to look at it.”


  Even with her eyes closed, her abilities to reason did not falter and became sharper, instead.

  “Is that so? Then, I want to see if you truly can’t see the end of it.” He lowered his body further, and the two made close contact. Their lips pressed against each other, and following his movements, Pei Ge was forced to open her eyes, only to find that he also had his eyes open and was looking at her.

  She flailed her limbs but was stuck under the man and could not even turn over. Hence, she gave up struggling and closed her eyes, allowing him, with his exceptional kissing skills, to ravage her mouth.

  Ji Ziming did not get angry when the little woman beneath him closed her eyes. Instead, he enjoyed the kiss more as his white, large hands roamed from her waist to her chest.

  This caused the woman to push his hands away with force before turning away from him to catch her breath. “Hurry and get up. You’re so heavy.”


  “Heavy?” He frowned slightly as his clear gaze became slightly lost. “Then, why didn’t you say that I was heavy when I was consoling you?”


  Her face turned a few shades redder. It was clearly him who had forced himself on her, yet now he was making it her fault.

  “You are heavy. Hurry and get up, or I’ll run out of air.”


  “Run out of air?” He lightly harrumphed. “Are you a balloon? You will run out of air?”


  “You…… You clearly know what I’m talking about. You’re doing this on purpose.” Feeling indignant, she tried desperately to push him off, but it was futile.

  “What do you mean? I don’t understand.” He smiled at how hardworking the woman in his arms was. It was funny and gold. His heart was filled with her, so how could he bear to hurt her even a little? As for the fake pregnancy this time, he already had a foolproof plan.

  “You meanie!” Seeing that she could not push him off, she could only resist him using words.

  “Alright. Then, I’ll show you an even naughtier side of me. Do you want to see it?” As he said that, he tugged his tie and moved to unbutton his shirt.

  “I don’t wanna. Hurry and stop. We are in the company—the office—right now.” She quickly pressed his hands down, suspecting that the man would truly start an office romance here with her.

  “Why? Are you unwilling?” His smile deepened. He was the most infatuated with her when she was like this.

  “This is an offense to public decency.” She rolled her eyes at him. Her hands were on his chest, and she could feel the steady throbbing of his heart underneath.

  “That is not how you use ‘offense to public decency.’” He pinched her cheeks and easily swatted the two hands preventing him from lowering his body. His soft tongue gently swam around in her mouth, making Pei Ge slowly lose all her resistance as she closed her eyes and sank into it.

  After a short while, he finally released her lips. He set his tie straight and said in a low and magnetic voice, “Ge Ge, don’t be afraid; I’ve already settled everything for you.”


  “Everything?” She sat up and leaned back against the chair. “Does it include the issue of my fake pregnancy?”


  “Your pregnancy was an issue I caused, so it’s not something difficult for me to settle. Just treat it as my payment for earlier.”


  “Payment. What payment? You’re clearly the one acting like a hooligan and taking advantage of me earlier. I kept telling you that I’m not pregnant, but you continued making an overstatement by insisting that I am. Tell me: Wasn’t that what happened?”


  She looked at the man and did not leave him any face as she berated him. She preferred being of some use to him rather than having him clean up after her.

  “Yes, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have ignored your words, so are you going to give me any punishment now?” Ji Ziming squinted at her with his deep, dark eyes, sizing her up and down.

  “What else do you want to do?” She quickly clutched her collar and hugged her chest. The wariness in her eyes made the man not know whether to laugh or cry.

  “If I truly want to do something to you, I will do so without talking.”


  “Then, what do you want to do now?”


  “Of course, it’s to discuss Huang Zhian’s matter.” He got up and flipped open the file the woman had casually placed on the sofa previously. He opened the file to the second page and placed it before her. “You should properly read the record he wrote down himself. Do you find something different?”


  His thought process jumped too fast that Pei Ge could not keep up for a moment. She read the written statement in front of her with bewilderment. There was something different, but she did not realize it.
