Chapter 1841 - People Would Die from being Charmed to Death

The two of them looked at each other. Pei Ge lowered her head guiltily and pretended to be fiddling with the skincare products in her hands. She took down the entire box of lipstick sets one by one and carefully placed them into the small boxes according to the pattern of odd and even numbers.

“How long are you going to sit there for?”

Ji Ziming, who was sitting on the sofa, could not help but asked her impatiently.

“Ah? I...”

Pei Ge did not know what to say, so she pretended that she did not hear anything and continued to lower her head and fiddled with the lipstick in her hand. Unfortunately, there were too many lipsticks. There were a total of 64 of them, and each lipstick was a limited edition, yet she only liked one of them.

“What’s wrong? Are you still unwilling to come over?”

Ji Ziming stood up and saw that Pei Ge, who was sitting by the dressing table, did not move. He then walked over, carried her and threw her onto the bed. The big bed was very soft and Pei Ge rolled on it when she landed.

Pei Ge was about to sit up straight when Ji Ziming pinned her down on the bed. His voice was especially seductive. “Why? Why are you so scared tonight?”

“I’m not afraid. I’m just tidying up.”

She acted cutesy. If she admitted that she was afraid, she did not know how Ji Ziming would torture her tonight.

“So you were counting lipstick?”

Ji Ziming turned to look at the dressing table. There were dozens of lipstick neatly arranged in three rows.

“You think there’s not enough lipstick? How about I buy you two more boxes tomorrow?”

Ji Ziming lowered his head, revealing his well-defined abs. This man always used his pride to seduce Pei Ge. Did he not know that this would kill him?

She would be charmed to death.

“No need, no need. One box is enough. I don’t want it anymore.”

Pei Ge waved her hands. If there were two more boxes, how long would she have to count?

However, Pei Ge missed out on one point. Whatever Ji Ziming said, he would definitely do it. The next day, two boxes of lipstick of different colors and varieties were neatly arranged on her dressing table.

Pei Ge tidied up for a while before placing all the lipstick neatly into a storage box.

There were too many of them. Pei Ge did not want to count anymore. Previously, she had used a box, but now, she used a luggage.

Ji Ziming lay on top of Pei Ge and watched as she tried to hide but could not.

It was destined to be a night full of activities.

Pei Ge should have known that resistance was useless to Ji Ziming. She might as well face it at the end.

However, it was already too late.

Old master Qu’s birthday banquet was soon prepared and the venue was set to be in the Qu family’s villa. It would start in the evening.

Before the birthday banquet started, Old lady Qu stood in the room nervously looking at the door as she made a call. “Didn’t I tell you not to call me?”

“The person you’re looking for isn’t with me at all. Also, even if he is, I won’t tell you where he is.”

“I’ve been paying for this for years. Is this how you treat your clients?”

“I can’t even see his shadow now. Where can I find him for you?”

...

The more she spoke, the angrier she got. How would she know where her confidant went? She had not seen him for many days and could not even get through to him on the phone, let alone find him.

Old lady Qu hung up the phone in exasperation. Old master Qu opened the door and walked in at this moment. He looked at Old lady Qu and asked, “You’ve been in the room for so long. What are you doing?”

“What can I do? Master, I’m here to pour you a cup of tea. Don’t you like new tea? I got someone to send it over yesterday. It’s new tea that is just plucked. Master, don’t you want to try it?”

Old lady Qu’s eyes were gentle and her purple gown made her look alluring.

This was the first time Old master Qu felt that this woman was overly charming. Just looking at her made him feel uncomfortable. Looking at the cup of green tea in Old lady Qu’s hand, Ji Ziming and Qu Xiujie’s voices rang in Old master Qu’s ears. Suspicion flashed across his eyes as he said in a steady voice, “This new tea is really good. I need to have a taste of it. Oh right, I asked you to find a script for me. Did you help me look for it?”

Old master Qu took the new cup of tea from Old lady Qu’s hands. It was still emitting steam as he blew on it in an attempt to cool it down.

“I remember the script now. How is this my place? Isn’t this your study?”

Old lady Qu clapped her hands and said regretfully, “You even asked me to modify it for you.”

“Then hurry and look for it. I’m still anxious to get it tonight.”

Old master Qu blew a few times and was about to drink when Qu Jingwan walked in. “Grandpa, Grandma, it’s starting outside. We’re just waiting for the two of you.”

Qu Jingwan’s eyes darkened when she saw the new cup of tea in Old master Qu’s hand, but Old lady Qu did not notice.

“Alright, I’ll find your grandfather his script right away. People tend to forget things when they’re old. What should I do if I forget everything one day? I’m an old woman.”

Old lady Qu was all smiles and did not look like someone who was going to tamper with the new tea.

“Jingwan, take good care of your grandpa when you come in. He’s not fully recovered yet.”

Old lady Qu looked at Qu Jingwan and continued, “Why are you running around instead of accompanying your grandpa?”

“Grandma, I’m not running around. I’m here to look for you.”

Qu Jingwan explained with a smile as she looked at Old master Qu. “Grandma, quickly find a script for grandpa. The birthday banquet is about to start and we’re waiting for grandpa.”

Old lady Qu nodded. Seeing that Old master Qu was only blowing at the teacup in his hand and did not take a sip, she asked, “Old master, why aren’t you drinking? This new tea won’t taste good once it’s cold.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m not in a hurry. I’m just thinking about where I left my speech. Go to the study room and take a look. If it’s not in my drawer, it’s on the desk beside me.”

“I understand. Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Old lady Qu walked to Qu Jingwan and looked at her meaningfully. “Take good care of old master. If he wants to drink another cup, it’s in the kettle on the table.”

Qu Jingwan understood Old lady Qu’s gaze and nodded. “I understand. Grandma, don’t worry about grandpa.”
