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

Even if you don’t love me and don’t want to be with me anymore, I will still never let go of you.

I will tightly lock you by my side so that you will be unable to take half a step away.

At the way he was staring at her and was tightly grasping her hands, as if afraid that she would leave him, Pei Ge could not help but find this situation amusing.

“Hey, you *sshole! Who is trying to leave whom, huh?” She pursed her lips after muttering this in a tone filled grievance.

“I won’t ever do it again.”

He lightly tugged her hand, pulling her into his embrace and planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

“You *sshole. You don’t understand that in the period that you weren’t here, I-I—”

Her words were cut off mid-speech by the ringing of his phone.

She blinked at this disturbance and turned her gaze on him.

“Who’s calling you?”

What bad timing! Doesn’t that person know that we’re together?

“Ignore it.”

The man ignored the ringing and did not even check who the caller was before he hung up.

Alas, the caller was relentless and quickly redialed his phone.

He moved to hang up and to switch off his phone but was stopped by her

“It should be an urgent matter since this person is calling you relentlessly,” she said softly.

“Nothing is as important as you.” He smiled and said this lovingly.

She must admit that what he had just said delighted her. Despite both her eyes and lips curving upward, she resisted showing any of her glee.

“Stop being so glib-tongued and quickly answer the call.”

She pushed him a little and urged, “It’ll be bad if it is an important matter.”

At her urging, he finally took out his phone.

However, when he saw the caller ID, his smile turned cold at once.

“What’s wrong?”

The swift shift in his expression did not go by her unnoticed, and she blinked her eyes in confusion at him.

“Who’s calling? Why do you look like that?”

“...Nothing. I’ll take this call outside.”

His eyebrows moved as he evenly said this after a brief pause.

“Okay, go ahead.”

Although she readily gave him her permission, she was still filled with perplexity and suspicion.

She did not get why he could not answer the call in her room but had to go outside.

She was clearly already his fiancée and would be soon his wife; what need did he have to avoid her?

The man was unable to read her mind, though.

A little after he exited her room, Zhang Manhua came in.

“I saw Xiao Ji going out with his phone; does he need to answer a call?” She asked this to her daughter, who was sitting in a chair, seemingly in deep thought.

“Yes. He went out to take a call,” she mumbled unwillingly.

“Why does he have to answer the call outside?”

Her mother had the same question that she did.

“Who knows?”

She pursed her lips disgruntledly. She found that her luck had been down recently.

“Alright. Don’t overthink this. Maybe he has some classified and confidential work and can’t let anyone hear it,” her mother consoled her, noting her disappointment and depression.

“What classified and confidential work. We are from the same company and I am even going to be his wife pretty soon.”

The more she spoke, the angrier she got. The past her would not have been this sensitive.

However, after his sudden disappearance, the sense of security she felt about him had plummeted.

In the past, she had unwavering trust in him, but after this incident, she felt that she might lose him at any moment.

“Ge Ge, you shouldn’t be like this. Even married couples need to give each other some space, or else things will turn sour.”

“Mhm, mhm, mhm.”

Having not slept for the whole night and having just experienced an emotional rollercoaster after seeing Ji Ziming, she suddenly felt very tired and was suddenly overcome with sleepiness.

“Haaaa!”

She gave a huge yawn and squinted her half-closed eyes. “Mom, I’m a little sleepy, so I’ll sleep first. When he comes back after the phone call, just tell him that I won’t be going back the next two days. I’ll go back with him after our wedding...”

As she spoke, she sleepily stumbled back to her bed and dropped into it, falling into dreamland seconds later.

Zhang Manhua really did not know whether to laugh or cry at her precious daughter who slept whenever she said she wanted.

“This lass... seriously...”

Seeing how sweetly and deeply asleep her daughter was, she shook her head in amusement and covered her properly with the blanket.

Just as she lightly stepped out of her room and softly closed the door behind her, she spotted Ji Ziming returning from outside.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” asked the man softly, feeling confused at the sight of her tiptoeing out of his fiancée’s room.

“Nothing. Just that Ge Ge is already asleep inside and I didn’t wanna wake her up.”

She waved her hand with a smile.

“She’s asleep already?”

He raised an eyebrow at this. Why is she asleep already? She looked spirited just moments ago.

“Yes, the lass is asleep now. Before she slept, she told me that to tell you that she won’t be going back with you the next two days. She’ll wait until after the wedding ceremony.”

“Not going back with me?”

The furrow between his brows deepened at this.

“Yes, she did say that.”
