Chapter 1870 - That Depends On Where It Is

Ji Ziming continued with his actions and Pei Ge’s calves were slowly absorbing the lotion. Her skin became even fairer.

Ji Ziming paused for a moment before continuing, “I’m afraid that the Qu family won’t be able to stay in this capital anymore. You have to remember that Old lady Qu was exposed by the media this time. What she did will be reported tomorrow morning.”

“Did you leak that information like those media outlets?”

Pei Ge still had her eyes closed as she placed her hand on the top of her head. Her voice was weak as she said, “I know that the Qu family’s status in the capital will definitely be worse than before. I’m afraid the Qu Group is doomed this time.”

“If you want to save the Qu Corporation, I can revive it.”

Ji Ziming looked up at Pei Ge, who had her eyes closed, and spoke gently.

“If you really want Old master Qu’s life’s work to not be ruined in Old lady Qu’s hands, I can really help you get it back. Moreover, you are already a director of the Qu Group.”

Pei Ge slowly opened her eyes. The huge chandelier above her was the French royal family’s gift to Ji Ziming. She still remembered that she had not thought of marrying Ji Ziming and become the CEO’s wife.

“This light is so bright.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ji Ziming, who was massaging Pei Ge, did not understand what she meant and looked up at the huge chandelier above them.

The room was lit up like the sun lit up the sky.

“No matter how bright the lamp is, if it is put in the wrong place, it will be a useless lamp.”

Ji Ziming’s words seemed to have another meaning as he resumed his actions, allowing the fragrance of the body lotion to mix with the fragrance of Pei Ge’s body. His bright eyes flashed with this moment of gentleness.

“But if this lamp wasn’t so bright elsewhere, would it still be a useless lamp?”

Pei Ge sat up and looked at Ji Ziming happily.

“That depends on where it is.”

Ji Ziming’s palm slowly moved upward, but Pei Ge did not move. Just as he was about to reach the peak, she gently held his hand. “Ziming, I’m a little tired today. I want to rest well.”

“Okay, I know. I’ll carry you to bed and rest.”

Ji Ziming retracted his hand and carried Pei Ge back to the bed. Seeing the hurt in her eyes, Ji Ziming could not wait for Old lady Qu to be tortured. As long as she was still alive, he would not allow her to die early.

“I’ll accompany you to find Old lady Qu tomorrow.”

Ji Ziming’s voice was gentle as he looked at Pei Ge with even gentler eyes.

“Ziming, do you think it’s wrong of me to do this? Old lady Qu caused my father’s family to be destroyed and Ji Miao to commit suicide in prison. She killed so many people. Is it really wrong for me to do this?”

Pei Ge’s voice was filled with sadness as she did not know if what she did at Old master Qu’s birthday party was a mistake.

“You did nothing wrong. I support you. You have to know that if I were you, I would do it even more ruthlessly and make Old lady Qu’s life worse than death. You’re just doing it from the legal point of view so you didn’t do anything wrong. Instead, she was the one who is always in the wrong.”

He gently placed her on the bed and lifted the blanket. The two of them lay together in their pajamas.

“Ziming, I’m so scared. I feel that if I do this, in the future, I won’t forgive another person no matter what that person did to me.”

She moved closer to him and hugged him tightly. It was as if this was the only way to reduce the fear in her heart and convince herself that she was doing the right thing.

“Ge Ge, you have to believe that what you did was the most gentle way. There’s really nothing wrong with it. Old lady Qu was the one in the wrong first, so you did nothing wrong.”

Ji Ziming understood the fear in Pei Ge’s heart. In this smokeless war, too many people around Pei Ge had died for her. This was something she was unwilling to accept, yet she had to accept it.

“Ziming, so you’ve always trusted me, right?”

She raised her head and met his eyes.

“Yes, I, Ji Ziming, will always be by your side.”

The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled up and his eyes were filled with certainty.

“Will you lie to me?”

She continued asking.

“No, I won’t lie to you.”

Ji Ziming smiled. “Why would I lie to you?”

“Then, how did you know that Tang Xiaoyu was in the capital tonight? How did you know that she was the one I was chasing after? That coat was given to me by a waiter after I chased after her. You knew about it all along, right? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Pei Ge recalled the Tang Xiaoyu she saw today. When Ji Ziming arrived later, he did not seem surprised at all, as though he had already expected Tang Xiaoyu to appear here.

“Is that the reason?”

Ji Ziming pursed his lips and enunciated word by word, “Because it was not suitable for you to see her at that time.”

“What do you mean not suitable?”

She frowned at him, not understanding what he meant by “unsuitable”. What things in this world were suitable or unsuitable?

“Gu Zhengrong doesn’t know that she’s carrying his child. More importantly, other than herself, no one else knows that she’s pregnant. My subordinates saw her doing a checkup at the hospital when she went to the hospital. At that time, she hid it from everyone, including her doctor-in-charge.”

Ji Ziming was not surprised when the bodyguard told him that Tang Xiaoyu was in the capital.

In such a big world, the only thing that Ji Ziming could not find was probably what he was unwilling to find.

“That’s why you knew from the start. You knew that she was in the capital, in my city, breathing the air of the same city as me, but you didn’t tell me. You made me sad and worried about her safety.”

Pei Ge did not understand what Ji Ziming was worried about. In her impression, Ji Ziming had indeed never hidden anything from her. This time, it was because of Tang Xiaoyu and she only found out about it when she last saw her.
