Chapter 2865  : Admitting defeat

“If you move again, I’m not sure what else I’ll do to you! I’ve already kissed you, so I don’t mind having you again!” He continued to feel his way up the stairs as he said this to the woman who was wriggling in his arms.

“Ji Ziming, you dare!” Her heart trembled at this, but she pretended to probe him. If the man really went crazy, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. Unfortunately, she had already spilled the pepper spray in her bag, sprained her ankle, and the entire building was out of power. She could not even see her fingers in front of her. It was even more difficult for her to fight him now.

“You can try. Let’s see if I, Ji Ziming, dare to do it!” He said this in a teasing tone, and this time, she was truly frightened. Like a docile kitten, she lay quietly in his arms without moving.

Seeing that she had finally quieted down, the man was secretly happy. A devilish smile appeared on his lips, but in the dark, she could not feel his teasing at all.

“This little girl is really amenable to force but not to persuasion. She can’t stand being scared!” He thought to himself as he finally found the entrance to the staircase.

“What’s wrong? You’re admitting defeat so quickly?” To ease the tense atmosphere, he carried her down the stairs.

“A wise man knows when to retreat. My leg is injured, and the whole building is dark. I can’t beat you. Whatever you say!” She rubbed her injured ankle and pouted.

“Ha, this really makes me see you in a new light. Pei Pei, you also have times when you’re instantly scared?” The man teased.

PEI GE did not say anything more, and the corridor returned to silence. Only the sound of Ji Ziming’s breathing could be heard.

As the man had been carrying her horizontally, he finally felt tired after walking a few floors.

She was indeed angry at the start and even lowered her body on purpose so that she could place more of her weight on the man. Now that she realized that the man was seriously carrying her and only wanted to take her to the doctor, she could not help but feel sympathetic.

“Ji Ziming, if you’re tired, let’s take a rest first.” “What floor?” she suddenly asked.

“Do you feel bad for me? Pei Pei. ” His tone was still frivolous, but his breathing was actually heavier.

“Don’t give me that. I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to take it and will throw me to the ground again. You’ll take advantage of me!” PEI GE replied unhappily.

“I’m physically weak? Ha, that’s funny. I’m weak because you’re too heavy. Pei Pei, I really couldn’t tell that you didn’t lose any weight after leaving me. You’re still so heavy!” Even though he was really tired, he could not help but tease her.

“Ji Ziming, you’re too much! I’m not as heavy as you say. ” No matter how much suffering she had gone through, she was still like all women in this world who hated it when others called her fat.

“Then tell me, how many pounds are you now?” The man asked.

“I …”

Just as she was about to blurt it out, she suddenly realized that something was amiss and quickly asked,””That’s not right, Ji Ziming. What does my weight have to do with you? I’m not your ex-girlfriend, so why are you comparing her weight to mine? even if she’s fat, it’s none of my business. I don’t think I’m fat now!” She finally knew how to retaliate.

“Alright, alright, alright. You’re not fat. It’s because I’m running out of stamina!” With a bitter smile, he continued to carry the heavy weight.

“Alright, Ji Ziming. I know how much I weigh, and you’re not superhuman. Quickly put me down. I’ll be able to walk down by myself after a short rest!” She tried to persuade him again.

“Your ankle is twisted so badly that it hurts even when you move it. If you don’t quickly apply a hot compress or send it to the hospital for medicine, it will get worse very soon. I’m fine, I really can. I still have more than enough strength to carry you downstairs. As long as you don’t move around and don’t add any external force to my troubles, it’ll be fine!” He was very sincere.

PEI GE’s heart warmed at his words, and she felt a tingling sensation in her nose. She gently wrapped her arms around his swan-like neck, thinking of secretly helping him reduce his weight.

The moment she wrapped her slender arms around his neck, he could not help but smile. The corners of his mouth curved into a crescent moon that reached the corners of his eyes. However, in the dark corridor, she could not see anything.

He thought that she could not see the warm smile on his lips and the blush on her neck.

With that, she lay in his arms with a reddened face and did not move or say anything else. It was as if silence was better than words.

She didn’t know how many steps she had gone down, but all of a sudden, the lights in the corridor lit up.

The two looked up at the ceiling in shock, their eyes filled with excitement.

“The call finally came!” She exclaimed.

Ji Ziming also stopped in his tracks. Carefully putting down the woman in his arms, he helped her up the stairs.””Come, let me see how swollen your foot is.”

She released her arms from his neck and shifted her gaze to her ankle.

Good Lord, this kick was really not light. That fair and tender ankle had already swelled to the size of a steamed bun. The man’s deep eyes darkened as his heart ached for her.

“It’s alright, it’s not very serious. I’ll be fine after I go back and apply a hot compress. I don’t need to go to the hospital. “Now that there’s a call, why don’t we go to the security Department to get the security guards to help us take our things? I’ll be going back earlier. Tomorrow, I still have to …” She was just about to say that she would go back to rest early as she still had to work overtime.

Ji Ziming interrupted her with a deep voice,’no! I’ll send you to the hospital to get an X-ray now. If it’s an industrial injury, you’ll still blame me in the end! I’ll get the security to get it, and I’ll call Aileen to send it over. Don’t worry!”

“Eh, Ji Ziming, why are you being possessed by the overbearing CEO again? there’s a call already, and …” She frowned and looked around at the sign.”And look, we’re already on the fourth floor. I just need to hold on a little longer and I can get a taxi home!”

Her insistence caused his face to darken further.””Do you want me to kiss you again in the brightly-lit corridor?”
