Chapter 1648: Your eyes can only hold me.
It seemed that his opponent was speedier than he thought. He had expected that they would appear at the hillside mansion to kidnap his person. They were surprisingly this daring—willful, even.
Anyone who dared to do anything right before his eyes usually never ended well.
Ji Ziming lay down on the sofa in his gray, casual silk pajamas. His voice was cold as he exuded a kingly aura. "Have you considered what would happen if my private doctor got bribed by them?"
"This…"
The leader was plunged into confusion. He had indeed not considered this possibility. If the private doctor was indeed bribed, what awaited Qu Xiujie could only be death.
"Bring him to the hospital. I don't believe that they will dare to touch him in the hospital."
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom The leader of the bodyguards immediately nodded in agreement. As long as their boss gave orders and his assurance, he would not be afraid of being unable to protect their charge properly.
"Turn back. To the hospital."
Right after the leader gave these orders, the driver quickly turned the car around and headed to the hospital. The darkness of the surroundings and the bit of moonlight shone into the car and on Qu Xiujie's ghastly face. There was still a bit of blood oozing from his forehead.
The car accident just then had given him a strong blow, causing him to fall toward the floor without any preparation. The car trunk was even hit violently, sending a strong impact into the car.
…
On another side, Pei Ge had coincidentally walked out of the bathroom dressed in a pink bathrobe at this moment. There were still droplets of water dripping down the neck. Her sexy look made Ji Ziming's lower half tighten as he stared straight at her, his lips unknowingly curling upward.
"You're out so fast?"
His voice was enchanting as his Adam's apple slowly bobbed.
"Mhm. Who were you on the phone with moments ago?"
She walked toward him. Her stride was graceful as her face was slightly flushed from the shower. She looked like a little fairy who had appeared from the heavens, bringing with her insurmountable beauty and enticement.
His Adam's apple moved again as he placed his handphone on the table beside him. He then reached out his hands and placed them on her frail shoulders, saying in a low voice, "You're so beautiful."
He lifted her chin with his index finger and asked in a seductive voice, "Do you want to let me taste it?"
"Tell me who you were on the phone with first."
Pei Ge gently placed her hands on his chest. Her face reddened slightly as her gaze on him turned hazy. However, all these were just a façade.
"Will I get some reward if I tell you?"
A wry smile appeared on his lips as his gaze turned even hazier. His hands uncontrollably slid down her shoulders toward the south of her waist. He gently squeezed it, causing Pei Ge to shriek in surprise. "Ah!"
"What's wrong? Where is the present I said I wanted?"
"What present do you want?"
She tried to pry his fingers away but realized that she could not. Her bit of strength was not even worth mentioning in his eyes. The more force she used, the harder he held on. She could only give up eventually.
"Don't you know what present I want?"
His gaze turned cold and amorous.
"I don't know, so let me go. If you don't, my waist will break under your grip."
She had a shy look as she avoided meeting his eyes.
"Oh? Your waist will break?"
He goaded. He was certain that she would be unable to escape from his clutches tonight, with the door, which was closed, never leaving his sight.
The reality was that, before Pei Ge could find out who had called her man, she had already been carried to bed and had no more energy to discuss the issue with him.
When everything ended, Ji Ziming gently covered her body with a thin blanket and sat up with a hand propping his head and the other holding hers. "Qu Xiujie was hurt."
"What? What happened to him?" Pei Ge was stunned, then continued. "Then how is he now?"
"Since I am here, it means that he is fine."
His lips curled into a smile as he looked at the woman sleeping beside him. His voice was gentle and tender, devoid of its usual coldness. He continued speaking in an extremely gentle tone. "Worried about him?"
"What are you thinking? Of course, I am worried about you. I am just worried that it will affect our plans if anything untoward happens to him."
She answered honestly. Other than this man, their three children, and her closest relatives, there was no one else who could give her the feeling of home.
"Great, then. You are my woman. Be it now or in the future, your eyes can only hold me."
"How domineering."
She stuck out her tongue but felt very blessed inside. The person she cared about the most was right in front of her eyes, so how could she possibly be thinking about others?
Moreover, how could one even compare Qu Xiujie to him?
"Ge Ge, let me ask you something. Did your mom ever mention who else is part of your family?"
He cut straight to topic and asked the thing that he had been most curious about.
Qu Xiujie kept saying that his woman resembled someone. However, in his eyes, even though his woman resembled Zhang Manhua, they did not exactly look alike. If one did not take a closer look, it would be hard to even see the resemblance.
"Why are you asking this?"
Pei Ge was perplexed as she looked at the man, who still had lust written all over his face. The two could be said to be 'baring themselves to each other' but were actually now discussing such a solemn topic. Even for the man, who could persevere for five hours while changing to different positions, this change was a bit too abrupt.
"I actually suspect whether he is interested in you or treating you as the woman from his memories."
"He is definitely not interested in me. I can see that it should be the person from his memories. Still, I think that the person in his memories should be someone very close to him. If it's a lover, then, at least, there'll be hints about it."
She denied resolutely. She had not seen any endearing look in that middle-aged man's eyes. Instead, what she saw was a pure kind of longing. It felt more like familial love, which caused her to remember the look in her mother's eyes, too. However, in Qu Xiujie's eyes, she saw another feeling which resembled guilt when he looked at her.
"Are you sure? I did neglect that guy from the Qu family."
