It was obvious that he did not believe her at all, but now that she had insisted that she did not trust her, she really did not know how to explain herself. He just kept reminding himself that he could not let her leave him behind and follow this dangerous man.

“Did you hear that? we’ve already explained it so clearly, but you still don’t believe us?” She could only ask again when he remained silent for a long time.

Just as he was about to turn around and explain, she lowered her head, closed her eyes, and softly said,””Ziming, if you really don’t believe me, I won’t force you. I’ll go back to the inn and change my clothes. I’m going to find Ning Yuan.” You’d better not follow me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself and have a big fight with you like last night. ”

With that, she threw the towel in her hand to her arm and walked past him toward the inn.

“Pei Pei!” Frowning, he shouted in the direction she had left. Just as she took a step forward, she shouted back without turning her head,””Don’t follow me! I don’t want to talk to you!”

He could only stop in his tracks when he heard her words.

“See? I say, Mr. Ji, you’re too narrow-minded. No wonder your wife is so angry.” Ling Feng walked up from the back with his arms crossed, as if he was watching a show and didn’t care if it was a big deal.

“Since when are you in a position to meddle in our Affairs? Mr. Ling, could it be that other than the simple folk customs here, there’s also a custom of being a busybody?” Ji Ziming rolled his eyes at Ling Feng and turned to look at him in annoyance.

“Hey, Mr. Ling, please don’t say that!” Ling Feng’s eyes immediately widened as he explained,””You should know that I, Ling Feng, have never been a nosy person. It’s just that I feel that I have an affinity with … With your wife. I thought that since we’ve known each other before, we’re all friends. That’s why I spoke a little more. But don’t worry, I really don’t have any improper thoughts. As for you, Mr. Ji, please don’t keep harping on me and even have a direct conflict with your wife. If you want a harmonious couple and family, you should listen to her voice more. ”

With that, Ling Feng gave Ji Ziming a meaningful Pat on the shoulder and turned to leave.

However, when he saw Ling Feng’s hands on his shoulders, he instantly felt disgusted and quickly smacked them away.

“Hey, hehe.” Ling Feng’s hand was forcefully thrown into the air, and he laughed awkwardly. After his hand stopped in mid-air for a while, he finally put it down slowly and shook his head with a smile,””It seems that Mr. Ji is serious. Alright then, I, Ling Feng, will not disturb you any further. Please do as you please!”

After he finished speaking, he slowly shook his head and left the lake.

Thinking that Ling Feng might pester her to catch up to the inn again and wanting to know his background, Ji Ziming shuddered and quickly followed him, disappearing into the lakeside path.

“Hey, Ning Yuan, are you still in bed? I’ve asked the inn’s staff. You came back at around 11 O’ clock last night. I couldn’t get through to you on the phone, so I left you a message. Remember to look for me when you wake up. I’ll wait for you in the room. We’ll figure out a way to deal with your birth mother together. ” Back at the inn, PEI GE knocked on Cheng Ningyuan’s door, but no one answered. Thus, she discussed with Wen Xin, who had just woken up, to call and leave a message for him.

“Sister Pei Pei, do you think he’ll agree to continue looking for Auntie today? When I saw him yesterday, he seemed to be determined. ” Wen Xin said with her Panda-like eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night.

“Don’t worry, we’ll work together to convince him. It’ll definitely work. ” PEI GE could only pretend to be at ease to comfort Wen Xin, even though she was actually not very confident.

Sure enough, when it was almost Teno’ clock, Cheng Ningyuan was still asleep. The two went to knock on the door again.

Still, there was no answer. Just as the two of them were about to go downstairs to get a waiter’s spare key to open the door and force their way in, a waiter came over with cleaning tools and asked with concern,””Hello, are you looking for the boy who lives in this room?”

A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes as she nodded repeatedly.”Right! May I ask if you saw him just now?”

“Oh, two young ladies, it’s like this. I was on the morning shift today, and at around Sixo’ clock, I saw him leaving with his things. If no one answers when you knock on the door, it means that he has not returned yet. If you need to open the door, you can bring a valid ID to prove your relationship with him and go to the front desk downstairs to ask for assistance. ” The waitress said in a gentle voice. Seeing the two’s worried faces, she smiled and nodded before leaving.

Wen Xin quickly thanked her and then grabbed her sleeve.””Sister Pei Pei, you went out early in the morning with something. Do you think Cheng Ningyuan has gone back?”

Not knowing what to do, she paused for a moment before calming herself down and calling the man for help.

On the other end of the line, Ji Ziming had followed Ling Feng to the town’s market. Perhaps tired from walking, Ling Feng ordered some pastries and tea from an old teahouse and began to enjoy them.

In order to echo her, he could only order the exact same dish and watch quietly from a corner. She originally thought that Ling Feng would not notice her, but when the man was on the other end of the line, he held a plate of tea and pastries in his hands and sat down across the table with a look of anticipation.

“Hello, Pei Pei.” Ji Ziming spoke to PEI GE in a gentle voice as he glared at Ling Feng and gritted his teeth.

Once she told him about her meeting with Cheng Ningyuan in the morning, Ji Ziming immediately lost the mood to argue with Ling Feng and, with a frown, asked,””What? He’s not at the inn anymore? I talked to him for a long time last night, but he didn’t say he was going back immediately. ”

“What do we do now? Ziming. ” Her tone was filled with helplessness as she temporarily put aside the argument she had with him.””I’m really worried that he’ll just leave like that. If he just lets it go like that, he might not have the chance to find his mother in the future. ”

“Pei Pei, don’t worry. Ask Wenxin if Cheng Ningyuan has told her about his mother’s approximate location. If he really did go back, we’ll help him find his mother while she’s still here. ” He calmly consoled her.
