Chapter 1917 - When Do You Want To Get Married?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Why later? Isn’t it better now?”

Ji Ziming did not understand why Pei Ge was still unwilling to marry him. The two of them had already walked through so many difficult or blissful paths ever since they met again. Why did one marriage make her so afraid?

“Ziming, I just don’t want to get married yet. Just because I don’t want to now doesn’t mean I won’t be willing in the future.”

She sounded aggrieved as she fastened her pajamas and sat on the other side of the bed.

“Okay, then I’ll take it that you’re willing. When do you want to get married?”

Ji Ziming’s good temper was completely consumed by Pei Ge’s unreasonable rejection of marriage.

“Ziming, can’t we talk about this later?”

Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at his face. The unwillingness in her heart grew.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright, we’ll talk about it in the future. You have to tell me when to do it. If you tell me clearly, I’ll naturally be prepared. But now, you...”

Ji Ziming could not continue and stopped when he saw Pei Ge’s aggrieved look.

“Ge Ge, don’t cry. I won’t chase after you to get married. We’ll get married whenever you want, okay?”

Ji Ziming’s eyes were gentle, so how could he bear to leave Pei Ge alone? Every tear from her could cause waves in his heart and every action could magnify his heart.

“Ziming, I’m sorry...”

Pei Ge leaned her head on Ji Ziming’s shoulder. This broad shoulder had endured too much of her courage and strength in the past. It was still the same now and could still carry her happiness and future.

“It was my fault earlier. I shouldn’t have urged you to get married. Now that you’ve dragged Old lady Qu down, I shouldn’t be so anxious.”

Warmth flashed across Ji Ziming’s cold eyes as he looked at her with even more regret.

“Ge Ge, I won’t force you anymore, okay? I’ll listen to whatever you say next time.”

Pei Ge did not say anything. The warmth and touched feeling Ji Ziming gave her was not something that could be described in this moment.

“Ziming, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have...”

Pei Ge apologized. How could the person she loved bear to see him get hurt for her? More importantly, she was the one who hurt him.

“Silly girl, I’m yours. Isn’t it up to you to decide what you want?”

Ji Ziming’s gentle eyes stared at Pei Ge. His handsome features slowly moved closer as he gently sucked away the tears on her cheeks.

“Ziming, I...”

Her voice was gentle as her eyes met his.

“I know. I won’t force you anymore. As long as we’re together, no matter what you want to do, I won’t say no.”

Ji Ziming’s fair hand reached into Pei Ge’s genuine leather pajamas. Her smooth skin and warm body made him go crazy.

“Mmm...”

Pei Ge moaned and her actions turned gentle.

It was a beautiful night.

Meanwhile, Old master Qu, who was sitting at home, had an earth-shattering change in his heart when he saw his subordinates gathering all the information about Old lady Qu.

“Do all of you know about this? Am I the last to know?”

Old master Qu’s eyes were terrifyingly cold. When he saw the Qu family standing in front of him, his voice became stern.

“Master... we... we didn’t even know what Old lady Qu did outside. How can you blame us?”

The butler lowered his head and his eyes were gentle. He had seen Old lady Qu with a young man in the greenhouse before but it did not mean that Old lady Qu must have had an affair with this man.

If they did not have any evidence, they would face a huge disaster if they were to say it in the Qu family. They might even lose their lives.

“Did you really not see Madam with another man? Or did you see, but Madam didn’t allow you to say it? Did she cut off your tongues?”

Old master Qu’s eyes darkened as all of Old lady Qu’s masks were slowly unveiled by Pei Ge.

In just a few days after Old lady Qu was captured, Pei Ge uprooted all the big and small things that she had done.

Those dark schemes that she had participated in, those that she was involved in, and those companies that were involved in money laundering actually did so many wrong things without Old master Qu knowing. More importantly, all the Qu family members were kept in the dark.

“Master, do you want to visit the old lady in prison? I heard that she hasn’t been visited in a long time.”

The butler boldly said that Old lady Qu did not have anyone visiting her in the hospital but when he saw Old master Qu’s cold expression, he did not dare to say another word.

“This woman made me a cuckold. Now that she’s in jail, do I still have to watch over her? Don’t you know this woman? Her eyes have a power that other women don’t have. Isn’t this a lesson she deserves?”

Old master Qu’s voice shook and the servants below did not know what to do.

“Master, you can’t be like this. Madam has lived with you for so many years. No matter how bad she is, she can still be praised. After all, she is sincere to you.”

The nanny’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Old master Qu. However, she could not say anything else to defend Old lady Qu.

“For my own good? Lili, have you forgotten what she wanted to do to me during my birthday banquet?”

Old master Qu harrumphed coldly as he looked at the nanny, Li Li, who was standing not far away from him. His eyes flashed with mockery.

“Old master, could it be that Old Madam still...”

Li Li did not dare to continue thinking about it. She had always thought that Old lady Qu was a good woman and that there were many things worth learning from her. Only now did she realize that it was all a smokescreen.

The Old lady Qu that she knew was merely an illusion created by the public.

“Li Li, you haven’t been here for long. There are many things in this house that you don’t know.”

The butler tugged at Li Li’s hand. Thinking that this woman was still very innocent, he did not spread the Qu family’s matter.

“Butler, I... have said so many wrong words that even Master is unhappy.”
