“No, if I put it down, my brothers will take it from me.”
Ran Ran refused to let go. In her small arm, the plate was like a huge rock tittering on the edge of a cliff. With one accidental movement, the whole plate of tea-flavored eggs could drop onto the floor.
“Then, can you give it to daddy?”
Ji Ziming walked up to his daughter and placed his suit jacket onto the sofa. He then tugged at his tie to take a breather. Seeing the girl’s serious expression, he could not help but laugh. “Will you give it to me if I want to eat it?”
“I…”
The girl hesitated. She had originally wanted to save it for her father when he came in, but he was not acting as she thought.
“I won’t give it to you. You are a big baddie.”
She hugged the plate and refused to let go, then continued speaking while looking at her father. “Although we have divorced, you’d better not think of cheating me. I’ve known about your secret for a long time.”
Her proud look which resembled a little princess tickled the three adults’ hearts.
“Oh? You even know my secret. Tell me what it is, then.”
The man did not expect that, other than wanting to divorce him, his daughter even started finding out about his secret. Who knew what the girl would find out in the future?
“Hmph! You purposely forced me to divorce you so that you could be with mommy and marry her! Isn’t it like that? That’s your secret, right?”
The girl’s prideful and serious look made him laugh even more boisterously.
“You even know that? Looks like you have seen through me. What should I do now? I can’t marry you because I want to marry your mommy.”
He eyed Pei Ge, who was standing beside him, not minding Zhang Manhua’s presence. He then looked again at his daughter, who was still holding the plate, with warm eyes. “Then, other than this secret, do you know anything else?”
“Of course, I know others, too! Your handphone’s password is mommy’s birthday. Many of your things have my mommy’s birthday. You must’ve thought of chasing her for a long time ago, but you don’t dare to say it. Now, you must be happy that we have gotten divorced. You are a free man and can freely chase after my mommy.”
Her serious look made the three adults hide their laughter. Where did this little lass learn these things?
“Can mommy ask who taught you these things?” Pei Ge rubbed her daughter’s ear while stifling her laughter.
“I saw it on the show granny’s watching TV. No men are good.”
The little girl answered honestly. Her pink lips even spoke the last word confidently.
Ji Ziming sat opposite her without the slightest look of discomfort. He looked at his little daughter with deep eyes, then eyed his two sons, who were peeling the eggs themselves in the kitchen, and could not help but ask, “So do you think your two brothers are not good people, too?”
“I already said that no men are good. They will become men in the future, so they aren’t good, too.”
Pei Ge looked at her daughter. It seemed that the latter was too into her act.
The whole family finished their lunch with much laughter and joy, yet when the woman returned to her room to rest, she could not sleep no matter what.
“Are you alright?”
The man walked out of the shower room with a towel wrapped around his waist and spotted her tossing and turning in bed. He immediately knew that she could not take her siesta.
“I am thinking about Xiaoyu. Where do you think she went?”
“What has it to do with you where she went? You only need to know that she is safe and fine right now. No one is holding her against her will, nor is she being tortured.”
He rubbed his hair dry with a towel. The small droplets landed on Pei Ge’s slender and white calves. The sexy sight immediately attracted his attention, and he lay his palm on it before slowly sliding it upward. The woman, whose eyes had started to close, was startled awake by his action.
“What are you doing?”
She sat up, looking at him cautiously with her beautiful, moist eyes.
“Water droplets from my hair landed on your leg.”
He looked at her, lying through his teeth. Although he was looking at her, his hand did not stop its movement up her leg. Even their positions were much closer than before.
“Don’t come so close to me.”
She reached out to push him away, but her hand was caught by the man, who placed it on his chest. His strong heartbeat could be felt on her fingertips, making her blush.
“Hurry and let go of me. It’s still daytime.”
The more she resisted him, the harder he held her hand.
“I won’t let you go. You will leave if I let you go. Then, where will I have to go find you?”
His lips curled up. He was very satisfied with her shyness as this meant that he was more attractive than any other man to her, and she could only be his woman.
“Hurry and let go. It will be bad if my mom or the children come in and see us like this.”
Pei Ge’s concern was always the people outside.
“It’s fine. I’ve already locked the door. Just say that I am showering.”
He exerted strength and pushed her down. The fragrance between the two surrounded them both, as though there were a little pixie that had not been seen in a long time. In this moment, she actually found it very peaceful.
“Ge Ge, I…”
Feeling the change in her, the man quickly pulled the blankets over and wrapped the two of them with it.
“What? Quickly get up. Aren’t you feeling hot?”
She resisted, but her small strength was no match for his. She was speaking the truth when she said that it was hot. Even though this room’s aircon was in full blast, the man’s damp body still gave her some pressure.
The man, who was atop her, lowered himself and removed the blanket, which eventually fell onto the floor. He gave her a deep kiss, and the two became more passionate.
It was only when the woman was unable to resist anymore that Ji Ziming let go of her. He lay down beside her, a satisfied smile on his face as he took in her damp fringe.
“You said that you want to go look for Tang Xiaoyu.”
His low and magnetizing voice sounded. The woman in his arms, who had just recovered her breathing, nodded.
