Chapter 2855 : Go to the company together.
“Pei Pei, do you really hate me that much?” His brows knitted into a deep frown. After letting out a deep sigh, he leaned back on the bed and stared blankly at the dark ceiling with his cold and deep eyes.
The bright moonlight outside the window seemed to be watching the story of the human world, confiding in the breeze and white clouds.
The next day, when the alarm clock rang, it was already eight in the morning.
“Dong Dong Dong!” Outside the door, Wen Xin’s urgent knocking could be heard,””Sister Pei Pei, aren’t you going to get up? Don’t you start work at nineo’ clock? If there’s a traffic jam, we won’t be able to make it!”
She did not expect to be so dazed that she did not hear the alarm despite it ringing so many times. Wen Xin’s voice was like the school bell in the past, which made her heart jump.
She jerked up, yanked the blanket off her, and sat up on the bed. As she frantically tried to turn off the alarm on her phone, she searched for her slippers under the bed and shouted at Wen Xin, who was standing outside the door,””Oh, alright, I know! I’ll get up and wash up immediately!”
It was already half-past eight when he walked out of the door.
Like a nagging mother, Wen Xin packed breakfast for PEI GE and mumbled,””Sister Pei Pei, you’re really too much. You specifically picked the day when Cheng Ningyuan went out to buy things in the morning to wake up late. Otherwise, he could have driven you, but now you can only take a taxi by yourself. If it wasn’t for the fact that I didn’t want to see Liu Lina reveal my identity so soon, I would have been your driver!”
Just as PEI GE was about to leave the house after carrying her backpack, she turned around with a spring-like smile and pinched Wen Xin’s toot cheeks.””Aiya, Wenxin, aren’t you tired? you’re so long-winded that you sound like a monk chanting Scriptures. Don’t worry, even if Cheng Ningyuan was home this morning, I don’t need him to send me!”
After saying that, she bent down to pick up her shoes from the cabinet, not forgetting to say,””Think about it. I’ve always kept a low profile. If my colleagues and Ji Ziming see that I have a chauffeur to pick me up when I’m out, won’t I attract too much attention? I’ll take a taxi there myself. That’s even better! Do you understand?”
She patted Wen Xin’s head lightly and walked out of the door.
The worried voice behind her rang out once more as she covered her mouth with both hands and shouted,””Alright then, sister Pei Pei. You have to be careful in the Ji group! If anyone dares to bully you, remember to call us at once. We promise to be there in ten minutes!”
PEI GE did not turn around but merely smiled and waved her right hand with her back facing Wen Xingao. It was hard to tell whether she was saying that she understood or that it did not matter.
“Sigh, I don’t know how big sister Pei PEI’s heart is. Every day, she has to brace herself to cater to the person she hates so much and even caused her own child’s death. How strong must her heart be to do this? “I hope she gets what she wants soon. It’s so heartbreaking to look at her …” Wenxin sighed and walked into the house.
“CEO … CEO Ji …”
As she was in a hurry, she jogged out of the villa’s entrance. However, she had only taken a few steps when she caught sight of the man leaning against the side door of a black land Rover.
Her footsteps involuntarily slowed as she followed his gaze. Ji Ziming had one hand on his belt, his handsome face, long legs, and a pair of slightly squinted eyes under his thick eyelashes. Under the morning sun, his eyes seemed to shine like stars, making it hard for people to look away.
The man did not answer her question. Instead, his thin lips curled up into the perfect curve, looking indolent and charming.
PEI GE released her right hand, which had just been raised to respond to Wen Xin’s question, and with a face full of confusion, she adjusted her shoulder bag’s strap and then asked with widened eyes,””CEO Ji, why are you … Here so early in the morning?”
With that, she pointed at the man, but when she realized that something was amiss, she shifted her finger toward the black land Rover.
“Why did you leave without a word last night? I tried to call you after that, but your phone couldn’t get through. ” He coldly questioned her with a frown when she walked to his side. He naturally crossed his arms over his chest as if he was really angry.
Embarrassment surfaced on her face as she forced a smile.””Oh, CEO Ji, I saw some of my colleagues leave last night. They’ve had some drinks and danced, so I don’t think they have anything else to do. It just so happened that I was a little tired from dancing, and my head was a little painful, so I came back first. ”
“What? Headache? Does it still hurt?” The man’s brows furrowed even more when he heard that. He quickly put down his crossed arms and reached for her forehead with one hand. His eyes, which were originally filled with anger, were now filled with pity.
She blushed and instinctively took two steps back.””CEO-CEO Ji, I’m fine.”
Subconsciously, she uncomfortably flicked the hair on her forehead and did not dare to look at him.
He seemed to have sensed something and could only lower his hand, which was still in the air.
She hesitated for a moment before continuing,””Oh, CEO Ji, I really didn’t mean to leave early last night. I wanted to look for you and tell you personally, but I couldn’t find you anywhere. In the end, I couldn’t hold on any longer … So I had to …”
“I know. I don’t blame you. Let’s go to the company together!”
This tone was simply acting like a domineering President. It was not a discussion, nor an invitation, but a polite notice.
Taken for granted, she frowned and blurted out,””Ah?”
Perhaps having already guessed her reaction, he did not give her a serious explanation. Instead, he walked to the front passenger seat and opened the door for her.
“Ah what? I just wanted to see what happened to you last night. Is there a problem with showing concern for a colleague? Besides, aren’t you in a hurry to go to work? You’ll definitely be late for a taxi if you’re delayed by me. ” He turned to the front passenger seat and shook his head slightly.
She pursed her lips in an ‘O’ shape, looking embarrassed.
When she looked up and saw that Ji Ziming was still waiting for her to get into the car, she finally bit her lip and said,””CEO Ji, this isn’t very good. I’ve just started working, and if I take your car to the office, it’ll definitely cause a dispute if other colleagues see it!”
