Chapter 974: I will never let go of your hand for life.

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“He he! Xiao Ji, I heard from Ge Ge that you’ve been on business trips recently.”

After her daughter brought the man back home, Zhang Manhua’s interrogation kicked off.

After all, Ji Ziming upped and left just when his wedding was near. How could she not mind it?

She was slightly displeased with him because of this as well.

“...”

Before the man could have a good chat with his fiancée, he was met with such a treatment the moment he entered her home. In that moment, he felt that many things had changed after his disappearance of a few days.

It seemed that his would-be mother-in-law held him in disdain now!

“Yes? Where did you go for your business trips?”

Seeing that he kept his silence, his fiancée’s mother repeated herself while beaming.

Nonetheless, this smile appeared slightly threatening.

“...”

Seeing her skin-deep smile, he suddenly did not know what to say.

He came here so hurriedly, with his entire mind around meeting Pei Ge, that he did not even think about how he would explain his disappearance.

“Mom, there’s a big project in New York, so I left hastily.” He could only put a bold face as he told this lie through his teeth.

His explanation made Zhang Manhua snort, her skin-deep smile vanishing.

“That project must be very big for you to leave without saying anything. It’s truly hasty.”

She began lecturing him on her daughter’s behalf. Although in the past, she treated him like her son, when it concerned her daughter’s happiness, her attitude could be different!

“Don’t you know how worried my daughter was for you these past few days?! She couldn’t eat and sleep well. How could you do such an irresponsible thing?”

“Mom, I’m sorry. This incident was my mistake.”

At her censure, he pursed his lips in absolute shame and apologized sincerely.

“Don’t! Don’t apologize to me; the person you should be apologizing to is my precious daughter!”

Pei Ge, who had been sitting at the side quietly, finally broke her silence when she saw her mother make things difficult for the man.

“Alright, mom. He already apologized to me on the phone earlier. Also, when we’re downstairs, he explained everything to me. Something truly cropped up at the office this time. He promised not to let this happen again.”

She held her mother’s hand as she spoke for the man while smiling.

“Promised? Are men’s promises useful? Since it happened for the first time, it would happen for a second time.”

Zhang Manhua shot the man a glance.

She actually did not wish to be so harsh on him, but Pei Ge was her daughter, after all, whereas Ji Ziming was just the man her daughter would marry. She wished for her daughter to be blissful; as such, she was trying to teach the man a lesson.

“Mom, there definitely won’t be a second time.”

The man lifted his head and looked at his fiancée’s mother with sincere determination in his eyes.

Looking at this pair of eyes, the older woman chose to believe in him.

She used to be very pleased with him.

If not for this man going overboard by disappearing for too long, she would have never said such harsh words to him.

“Alright, I’ll believe you this one time.”

She nodded in acknowledgement before grabbing her daughter’s hand and placed it into his.

“Xiao Ji, mom only has this daughter of mine. I’ve doted on her since she was a baby, so don’t blame mom for treating you like this today.”

He shook his head slightly as his hand automatically closed on Pei Ge’s tightly, not giving her any chance to escape.

“Mom, I don’t blame you.”

She smiled and nodded before letting go of her daughter’s hand.

“Right now, I’m handing her to you; I hope that you’ll love, care for, and respect her. Don’t hide anything from her...”

Having heard the middle-aged woman mention not keeping secrets, his lips pursed into a straight line as his brows furrowed.

Perhaps, he could not fulfill this request...

The couple, who had just reunited, finally retreated into Pei Ge’s room after chatting with her mother in the living room.

The moment the woman entered the room and closed the door, her smile vanished.

It was replaced by a questioning look.

“Tell me honestly: Where have you been recently? Why did you leave all too suddenly and why was your phone turned off?!” She shot him a barrage of questions.

The corners of his lips curled into a bitter smile.

“Pei Ge, I won’t disappear again without a reason.”

He originally thought of many answers, but they all became a single promise in the end.

“...”

Listening to his words, grievance flashed in Pei Ge’s eyes. All of a sudden, those clear eyes of hers were clouded.

“Alright. it’s my fault this time. With my life, I promise to you that...”

Her hands quickly covered his mouth before he could finish.

“Don’t spout nonsense!”

She glared daggers at the man.

Looking at this pair of fair, delicate hands on his lips, Ji Ziming smiled and grabbed them.

Without saying anything, he kissed them. His eyes were full of tenderness.

“Alright. I won’t spout nonsense.”

That voice was so gentle and doting that it could drown anyone.

“...Let go!”

Her heart skipped a bit upon seeing him act shameless.

In order to prove that she was angry, she pretended that she disliked it and brushed away his hand.

However, her wish was never going to come true.

That was because... his hand held onto hers tightly.

“Not letting go. I will never let go of your hands for life. I will never let go for life.”
