1450 Madam Ji came to visit Pei Ge. (1/2)
”Ziming, Ziming.” Pei Ge repeatedly shook the man, but he did not respond. She, thus, picked up the phone on the counter.
”Hello?”
”Sir, I just finished checking his daughter's hospital records. She just completed a heart bypass surgery last month, and the cost of the surgery was 4 million yuan. The nursing fees, plus other miscellaneous fees, following the surgery all add up to a large amount, and she is still in a critical condition. All the amount exceeds 7 million yuan. Should I continue investigating and tell you his daughter's ward number?”
”What are you investigating?” She was at a complete loss on what the person on the other end meant.
”Madam?”
The person was clearly taken aback, not having expected someone else to answer the call.
”Yes. What are you investigating?” She frowned. What was his man investigating behind her back? Why were there mentions of a 'daughter,''surgery,' and 'seven million yuan'?
”Madam, I think it's better for you to talk to the boss. Is it convenient for me to ask where he is?”
”Your boss is sleeping right beside me. He's probably too tired, so he didn't wake up when I tried rousing him from sleep.” She lowered her head to look at the man. Her eyes were full of heartache under the moonlight.
”Madam, I still have something on, so I'll hang up first.”
Du… The disconnected tone rang softly. Pei Ge locked the phone, her doubts still not clarified. She really wanted to ask Ji Ziming what he was having investigated. She noticed earlier that this number was not saved in the phonebook and the caller ID was from an unknown person. It was obvious that this was the person in charge of investigating a matter for the man.
She quietly gazed at the sleeping man by her side. His beautiful features looked even more surreal under the moonlight. Her beautiful eyes were covered by a layer of mist. The man happened to wake up then, and he looked at her with sleepy eyes.
”How long have I been sleeping?” The man sounded slightly hoarse.
”Not very long; sleep some more.” She cleared the doubt in her mind as her heart ached to see him sleeping here for her sake.
”I'm not sleeping anymore. Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water.”
He got up, but because he did it too suddenly, he had a dizzy spell. He could not stand up properly and fell onto her bed.
”Are you okay?! I'll call the doctor now to look at you.”
Pei Ge was petrified, and she stared at him wide-eyed.
The man was not flustered by this. He wrapped his arms around her neck and gently planted a kiss on her lips. ”I'm lacking in sugar, so I'm stealing some from you.”
He got back on his feet after kissing her and looked down at her. ”I'm okay; did I give you a scare?”
”Ge Ge, don't make me so worried in future.” Ji Ziming suddenly gripped her hands; they appeared small and delicate in his.
”I won't.” She looked up at him and, seeing the man fondly gazing at her, began to calm down.
Pei Ge shifted to one side and patted the space next to hers, saying, ”Sleep here and don't come down. It's cold at night.”
”I can turn on the aircon.”
”Get up. Isn't it good to be in the blankets?”
She raised a brow. ”Great CEO, are you sure you don't want to sleep here?”
The man's deep-set eyes darkened as he answered in a hushed voice, ”Little kitten, you've actually learned to be naughty.” A bright glint flashed past his eyes, but she failed to see it. ”You can't learn to be naughty. You can only listen to me.”
”You're pressing down on my hair.”
”Your hair is mine, too.”
”You're so domineering!”
”I'm not me if I'm not domineering.”
