1437 A Family Trip (1/2)
”Does where we go have anything to do with you?” she snapped back.
”Of course, it does. Don't forget; I am Ji Ziming's fiancée.”
”So what?” She smirked. ”Good flowers need beauties as companions, or else they may end up like these petals on the floor—unsightly and defeated.”
”You!” The other gritted her teeth, wanting to tear her apart just like what she had done to this rose in hand.
”A warning here: If you let me find out that you haven't been treating my son well, your ending will be like that rose.” Pei Ge shot the other a sharp and cold gaze. I'll find out what game this missy is playing one of these days.
”Is that so? You can't stand it already?” Qu Jingwan threw aside what were the pathetic remains of the rose in her hand and walked to her side. Her lips were a bright-red hue, making her look like a bloodthirsty pixie.
”Do you know that I will be coming with you guys today?”
As expected, Pei Ge's expression made her smile deepen.
”So?”
She did not expect to receive this reply from this woman after waiting for so long. So? So I am showing off to you!
”No one is stopping you. You can go wherever you want. It has nothing to do with me.” The latter knew what the former was planning, so she refused to show her unhappiness outwardly.
”You!” Qu Jingwan seethed in anger as she watched the woman leave while her children's hands.
When the couple were discussing going on a trip, she happened to be standing outside Pei Ge's door. She could not help getting anxious when she heard that the two would be spending time alone. Hence, she told Madam Ji about it, and the latter insisted on her joining them as she took care of her grandson or her. The older woman told her to focus on staying by her son's side.
”Pei Ge, I'll make you disappear in this house fast.”
Thus, when the man drove the Maserati out, she quickly got in it. ”Ziming, auntie told us to go out on a trip to build our relationship.”
He coldly peered at her, his whole person exuding a frigid aura. ”Get off!”
”Listen to me: I am your fiancée.”
”Don't make me repeat myself!”
His eyes narrowed at the woman, whom he had not spoken much to ever since she started living in his house.
She tried bringing up his mother but was frightened by his frigid gaze. Just as she unwillingly opened the door to get out, she was stopped by the man's mother, who was standing right outside it.
”Son, Jingwan is your fiancée; what's wrong with you bringing her out on a trip? If you don't bring her with you, then you'll be defying me. My back hasn't even recovered yet; are you trying to anger me to death now?”
”It's fine if she wants to come along. It's livelier with more people around.” Pei Ge stood beside the car with her bag in hand, smirking coldly. ”Miss Qu, have you brought everything you needed?”
”Yes, I brought everything.” A light shone in the missy's eyes as she gave the other a look of disdain.
”Then, it's fine. Ziming, can we go now?”
”Mhm.” The man nodded, coldly eyeing the other. ”Miss Qu, during the road trip, do mind your safety.”
”I will.” She silently chuckled, feeling smug inside, and did not notice the emphasis he placed on the word 'safety' at all.
After Pei Ge got in the car and his mother left, the man stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the Ji family's estate.
Along the way, only the happy chatter of the two children in the backseat could be heard. The three adults were silent.
