Although he already had a clear understanding, he still wanted to know if the position that Mao Nana occupied was the most important in Qu Xiujie’s heart. It was a little suspicious and incomprehensible.

  “Ge Ge, do you also want to reason with uncle? Is uncle such a person in your eyes?”


  Qu Xiujie sounded aggrieved and wanted to tell Pei Ge what he was thinking but when he saw Ji Ziming’s cold gaze, he did not say anything.

  “What’s wrong, uncle? I was just saying it casually. If you don’t want to say it, I won’t ask.”


  Pei Ge frowned at the gentleness in Qu Xiujie’s voice. “Uncle, you……”


  “I just think that she’s a good girl. If she gets together with an old man like me, it’s a little too……”


  Qu Xiujie said what he minded the most but to Pei Ge, she did not care about anything as long as they were truly in love. That was enough. As for what would happen in the future, that was all in the future.

  “Ge Ge, do you also think that it’s not good for uncle to do this?”


  Qu Xiujie looked up as though he had forgotten that Pei Ge called them down for dinner.

  “I know you’re protecting her, but this protection may not be what she needs. You should give her more than that.”


  Pei Ge pulled Ji Ziming up and said to Qu Xiujie who was sitting on the sofa, “Uncle, let’s go down and eat. Mom made a lot of delicious food today and Nana specially made it for you.”


  “You mentioned her again. What else did you say she was doing?”


  Qu Xiujie understood what Pei Ge meant but just smiled and said it.

  “Okay, I won’t bring it up. Uncle, you should hurry down to eat, too. We’ll go down first.”


  With that, Pei Ge held Ji Ziming’s hand and walked out of the room. When they were outside, Ji Ziming asked, “That Mao Nana is so young and beautiful. She must be very capable to have taken a liking to uncle.”


  “In love, what is there to look down on? It’s just that when two people are together and feel that it’s right, it’s naturally right. The so-called compatibility between families is just for outsiders to hear.”


  Pei Ge slowly descended the stairs. The sound of her high heels, coupled with her words, made her look even more adorable.

  “So, you think that we’re not compatible?”


  Ji Ziming suddenly pulled Pei Ge and skipped two steps to reach her. His eyes were deep as he looked at her with twinkling eyes. “Ge Ge, is that what you think?”


  “No, I’m thinking that even if we’re not compatible with what others think of us, I still hope that we can be together forever and that we’re already together, right?”


  Pei Ge pursed her pink lips. Seeing how much the person before her cared for her, she felt warm inside. In her heart, caring was never judged by others. As long as she felt that it was good, it was good.

  “You’re indeed my woman. Your words are so charming. I realize that I’m liking you more and more.”


  Ji Ziming’s eyes were deep and his voice was low and attractive. His eyes were filled with love as he looked at Pei Ge. His facial features were even more handsome and suave. No matter how much time passed, Pei Ge would always remember the first time she met Ji Ziming, that absurd night of 500 yuan.

  It was precisely because of this that the two of them had such an affinity. Perhaps, they already had the best love from the beginning.

  “Don’t give me that. I’m not someone who can be easily fooled by you. Also, you should treat me less well in front of Mao Nana. I’m afraid that she’ll be unhappy.”


  Pei Ge raised her brows as she looked at him.

  “Why should I look at other women when I dote on my woman?”


  Ji Ziming lightly harrumphed as his eyes turned cold. The cold aura he exuded made Pei Ge feel angry and amused.

  “That’s not what I meant. Didn’t you see Uncle’s attitude towards Mao Nana? If you continue to provoke her like this, I’m afraid that she won’t be able to stay in the house peacefully.”


  Pei Ge blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Ji Ziming. Her pink lips curled up slightly as she tugged on his sleeve and said hurriedly, “Ziming, will you listen to me this once?”


  “Okay, I’ll listen to you. If I listen to my wife, I can have a rich life and enjoy the best life. Tell me; if I listen to you, what benefits will I get? Shouldn’t you give me some rewards?”


  “What reward do you want?”


  Pei Ge looked up at Ji Ziming. Her voice was laced with gentleness and the light in her eyes was extremely bright.

  “Do you want me to wash the dishes for you tonight, or do you want to sleep with uncle in the house tonight?”


  Pei Ge’s lips curled up as she watched Ji Ziming’s eyes turn from gentle to cold, but she did not stop.

  “Oh? So you want me to stay with uncle tonight?”


  Ji Ziming’s cold eyes met Pei Ge’s beautiful ones and his voice was cold.

  “I didn’t say that. I’m just telling you that you still have the cheek to ask me for a reward for doing this.”


  Pei Ge was about to negotiate with Ji Ziming when he pulled her into his embrace. Standing on the stairs, she almost lost her footing and missed her footing.

  “Ahhh……”


  Pei Ge was shocked by his sudden action and was about to stand firm when Ji Ziming hugged her. Before she could say anything, she was hugged tightly by a certain someone.

  “What’s wrong? Do you want to run out of my embrace?”


  Ji Ziming smiled as he looked at the person in his arms. His eyes were filled with gentleness, like the gentle sunlight in spring, which slowly flowed through every corner of Pei Ge’s heart.

  Although his gaze was slow, it did not affect the tiny worms that were crawling in Pei Ge’s heart and biting her heart bit by bit. His figure, along with the noon sun, seeped into every corner of her heart.

  Her eyes, her body, and even her thoughts were filled with him.

  “Quickly let go of me, I —”


  Before Pei Ge could finish speaking, she saw Qu Xiujie opening the door of the room and walking out from behind. Before he could speak, he frowned and looked at the two of them. His voice was clear yet mocking. “You two are an old married couple and you still dare to do this?”
