Pei Ge’s massage was quite enjoyable for Ji Ziming, but the person who enjoyed it the most was herself.

  “Ziming, do you think this massage should be done here or here?”


  “Ziming, are you asleep?”


  “Ziming, Ziming……”
……

  She stopped what she was doing and watched him fall into a deep sleep with no expression on his face.

  “He fell asleep so quickly. I was thinking……”


  Pei Ge released her hand and before she could finish speaking, Ji Ziming suddenly got up and carried her to the seat beside him. His voice was seductive as he said, “How can I sleep if you don’t sleep with me?”


  The room was filled with a beautiful scene.

  Old master Qu’s birthday banquet was held together with Qu Group’s emergency.

  Pei Ge was teaching the three children in the Ji family’s villa when Auntie Zhang brought Zhang Manhua and Butler Charlie in. The huge living room was suddenly filled with three people. Ran Ran sensed it immediately and quickly looked up at Butler Charlie, who was standing at the door.

  Her face lit up. “Uncle Charlie, you’re here.”


  “Ran Ran.”


  A look of joy appeared in Butler Charlie’s eyes. Recently, he had been so bored in the house that he had learned a few good magic tricks and even learned a dessert from his hometown. He quickly pestered Zhang Manhua to come to the Ji family’s villa and show it to Ran Ran immediately.

  “Uncle Charlie, are you performing magic for me again?”


  Ran Ran seemed to have seen her savior as she hurriedly put down the book in her hands and ran to Butler Charlie. She jumped up excitedly. “Uncle Charlie, I still want to listen to your story. Did that walnut princess return to her country last time? Are her parents worried sick?”


  Butler Charlie squatted down and carried Ran Ran. “If you want to hear a story, I’ll tell it to you later, alright?”


  “Sure, sure.”


  Ran Ran nodded excitedly but did not dare to look at Pei Ge. In her eyes, Pei Ge was no different from a long-haired witch with red eyes.

  Pei Ge spent the past few days at home focusing on her three children’s studies.

  An An and little Ji Chi were smart and could understand the meaning behind Pei Ge’s words. Only Ran Ran was not.

  No matter how Pei Ge explained or taught her, in Ran Ran’s mind, adding and subtracting were adding and subtracting. How could they be calculated together? If they were to calculate together, who would set these rules?

  Ran Ran could not understand the question that seemed simple to An An and Ji Chi.

  “Ran Ran, come over here first. If you calculate the answer to this question, I’ll agree to let you go out with Uncle Charlie. If you don’t solve this question, you must stay at home and do your homework properly. How about it?”


  Sitting on the sofa, Pei Ge straightened her back and looked at Ran Ran, who was already in Charlie’s embrace. Her voice was authoritative and her eyes were unwilling to back down.

  “Mommy……”


  Knowing that she had no way out, she could only act sweet and coquettish. She could only pretend to blink her watery eyes pitifully and say sweetly, “Mommy, it’s rare for Uncle Charlie to come, so I’ll go out with him to play, okay? I promise you that I’ll study well after I’m done playing. I’ll agree to anything you ask me to do.”


  “No, I don’t agree.”


  Pei Ge did not take a step back as she stood up and walked toward Charlie. “Come down.”


  “Mommy……”


  Ran Ran was unwilling to get down, nor was she willing to leave Butler Charlie’s embrace. She hugged his neck tightly and said weakly, “Mommy, I’ll listen to you. Just let me take a break.”


  “If I give you a break, who will give me a break?”


  Pei Ge’s eyes widened. Zhang Manhua, who was standing beside Butler Charlie, could not stand it anymore and pulled Pei Ge to the side. “Ran Ran hasn’t seen Charlie in a long time, so just let them play. Also, Ran Ran is so smart. As long as she wants to learn, there’s nothing she can’t learn. If she doesn’t want to learn, it’s useless no matter how you force her.”


  “Mom, you don’t know how naughty this little lass is. When I’m not home these few days, she……”


  “No matter how naughty she is, she’s still your daughter. What can you do?”


  Zhang Manhua smiled helplessly and turned to look at Ran Ran. Her eyes were filled with love. Pei Ge had spent a lot of effort since this cute little girl was born to make her become this playful and cute.

  She was clearly the youngest among the three and was also the one who Pei Ge cared for the most.

  That was because she was the only girl.

  “That’s right. No matter how stupid I am, you’re the one who gave birth to me. Just promise me that you’ll let Uncle Charlie and me play. It’s not easy for Uncle Charlie to come.”


  Ran Ran leaned on Charlie’s shoulder, her eyes full of anticipation.

  Pei Ge’s heart wavered as she looked at these two pure eyes. She also wanted her to be happy.

  However, because of her childhood, she did not get many opportunities to study. That was why she looked forward to her children growing up and not walking down the same path as her.

  As long as it was what they wanted, she would give them everything they wanted.

  “Alright then. You have to promise me that you’ll do your homework for me when you’re done playing with Uncle Charlie. If the three of you make the next teacher so angry that she leaves, I won’t agree to it again.”


  “Mommy, it’s clearly that teacher who doesn’t know how to teach us.”


  Ran Ran pouted. Although she was unhappy, she still wanted to know how much her acting cutesy meant to Pei Ge.

  “You dare say it again?!”


  Pei Ge looked at Ran Ran with her beautiful eyes. Ran Ran was so frightened that she did not speak anymore and merely pursed her lips and turned her head wisely.

  When the three children and Butler Charlie went to play in the room, the three women in the living room then sat on the sofa to discuss the preparations for Old master Qu’s birthday banquet.

  “Ge Ge, how do you think we should prepare Old master Qu’s birthday banquet?”


  Mother Ji held a cup of exquisite coffee in one hand as she sat on the sofa and looked at Pei Ge. “This is not a normal family. If it were a normal company’s patriarch, it would be fine, but it has to be the Qu family.”


  Pei Ge knew that Mother Ji was in a difficult position and that her family background had nothing to do with the Qu family. It was just that she did not think of herself as part of the Qu family that quickly. In her heart, the Qu family was the Qu family and she, Pei Ge, was Pei Ge.
