Chapter 1224 - Do not ever dream of leaving my side again.

“You don’t need to explain anything to me. It’s already too late; I am already married with children.”

“...”

Ji Ziming’s face instantly whitened.

After a very long period of silence, his lips curled up slightly under her gaze.

“It’s fine; I don’t mind.”

“But I mind!”

Pei Ge pursed her lips tightly together as she regarded him with a cold gaze.

“Time can’t be rewound. What has passed has passed! It’s too late for anything! No matter how much you want to correct your mistakes, it is useless. After all, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.”

She steeled her heart this time. Even though this man still had a place in her heart, when she thought of her lost son and her other children in New York, she decisively killed off the remaining soft spot inside her for him. She only wanted to cut off all ties with this man before her as fast as possible.

“After leaving you five years ago, I went to New York. There, I met my current husband. He is my elementary school friend and he treats me very well, so I married him. Now, I have a blissful life with him and our two children.”

Her words caused him to be stunned.

Although he had heard her mention her family overseas several times, when he saw her speaking about it with such a happy face and a gentle voice, he still... felt very awful inside.

“No matter what happened in the past, forget me; I am truly living in happiness now.”

She smiled at him with sincerity.

However, the man, who had been very gentle since a while ago, suddenly behaved the opposite.

“Don’t even think about it! I definitely won’t let you leave my side again!”

With that, he released his grip on her and stood up.

“...Ji Ziming?”

“Pei Ge, you should rest here properly in the next few days. I will come back to visit you.”

“What do you mean by that?!”

What he had just said caused her to be flustered.

“...I need some time to calm down.”

With that, he took strides toward the door with his long legs.

“JI ZIMING!”

Having not expected him to do this, her eyes widened in shock and she quickly jumped out of the bed to chase after him barefoot.

However, no matter how fast she ran, the man still exited the room and locked the door before she could catch up.

Bang, bang, bang!

She smashed her fists against the door.

“You *ssh*l*, open the door!”

“I will be back soon.”

However, he merely gave her that answer.

“HEY! Open the door! I have important things to do! YOU JERK, OPEN THE DOOR!”

Seeing that she was unable to open the door, she smashed her fists even harder against it.

“I know what you want to do. Rest assured; I’ll help you settle the Pei Family Real Estate.”

His voice from the other side of the door instantly enraged her.

“Open the door now! It is my business who I want to deal with! I don’t need your help! Open the door right this instant!”

“...Pei Ge, I will come over tonight.”

“You are not allowed to touch uncle’s company! That is my matter! You are not allowed to interfere!”

Why would she return here if not for wanting to exact revenge with her hands?

After all, Egger’s influence was far-reaching.

However, no reply came from outside the door.

It was clear that the man had left...

“Ji Ziming... you jerk... *ssh*l*!”
