Chapter 1869: Truly Unscrupulous

Recalling Pei Ge’s expression in his dream, Gu Zhengrong suddenly felt his heart ache. Looking out of the window at the scorching sun, he lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed to wash up when he suddenly saw the state of his body.

A strange feeling lingered in her mind.

Tang Xiaoyu’s torn clothes and messy room last night.

All the details were thrown in. He seemed to have done something unforgivable to her.

“Tang Xiaoyu, are you there?”

Gu Zhengrong suddenly lost his confidence and called Tang Xiaoyu in a gentler voice.

There was no response in the empty room except for his own voice.

He hastily wrapped herself in a thin blanket and walked barefooted into the living room, but his gaze stopped on the cup of coffee he had drunk.

After drinking this cup of coffee last night, all his memories of last night seemed to have become even more blurry. He could not recall everything that happened last night, but everything in the room clearly showed what he did last night.

What was going on? Was it because of this cup of coffee?

The effect of this cup of coffee was surprisingly strong. Tang Xiaoyu was the one who brought the coffee over, but she was not in the room. In the morning when Tang Xiaoyu was not around, she actually felt exceptionally quiet. However, this silence made Gu Zhengrong feel a tinge of fear.

It was as if he was walking in the middle of the night and did not know what was following behind him. When he was not paying attention, something terrifying might jump out and stand in front of him. All the fear overwhelmed him at this moment.

Tang Xiaoyu gave him too much shock and impatience.

In the morning when she suddenly disappeared, he actually felt a little relieved.

However, a few minutes later, Gu Zhengrong finally connected everything that happened last night. What he did, what Tang Xiaoyu did, and what both of them did.

“Tang Xiaoyu, you’re really unscrupulous to get me.”

Gu Zhengrong pieced together all the small details and thought about how he might have to be responsible for Tang Xiaoyu in the future. He thought about how there was no longer any possibility between him and Pei Ge, and the look in Pei Ge’s eyes in his dream.

His heart could not stop aching. The book in his hand was still emitting an ancient smell. Such an old history book did not create a long love story for him and Pei Ge.

He, Gu Zhengrong, would get what Ji Ziming got sooner or later. All Tang Xiaoyu did was to get Gu Zhengrong. Women were really scheming.

What he did not know was that not long after Tang Xiaoyu left, he began to miss the days when she was by his side. Every time he returned home after working overtime, Gu Zhengrong felt that this house was like a cement cage.

When Tang Xiaoyu was around, she would prepare delicious dishes for him. They were all his favorite dishes and the dishes were different every day. When Tang Xiaoyu was around, he would have a thin blanket when he was cold and the temperature of the air-conditioner would be just right.

It was only when Tang Xiaoyu was not around that he noticed these.

Unbeknown to him, Gu Zhengrong thought that he was deeply in love with Pei Ge and did not have a trace of Tang Xiaoyu in his heart.

However, Gu Zhengrong did not know that he had missed not only Tang Xiaoyu, but also a woman who was willing to treat him well as usual.

It was only after he lost her that he realized how important it was for him to cherish her. It was only after she left that he realized what she meant to him. It was always before he could understand it that the cold reality had arrived before him.

But life never had the slightest intention of starting over again.

When he met Tang Xiaoyu again, he had already accepted the fact that he would never meet her again.

After returning from the Qu family’s mansion, Pei Ge stayed in Ran Ran’s room for a while before returning to her own room.

Ji Ziming had already lit up Pei Ge’s favorite incense. Pei Ge stood at the door and breathed in the familiar fragrance. Her entire body seemed to relax as she looked at Ji Ziming, who was sitting on the sofa in his silver-grey clothes after showering and was handling company business with his laptop.

“Go take a shower. I’ll give you a massage tonight. You must be tired after so many days.”

Ji Ziming looked at the laptop in front of him but did not turn around to look at Pei Ge who was standing at the door. His voice was gentle and the cold aura around him was no longer there. It only gave Pei Ge a sense of security.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.”

Pei Ge walked into the room and closed the door behind her.

The water in the bathroom flowed as Ji Ziming sat on the sofa and turned to look at Pei Ge, who was standing in the middle of the hot water.

The woman he had always wanted to protect at this moment and in the future would always be by his side. That was enough.

The glass mirror reflected Pei Ge’s graceful figure. Ji Ziming only had to look at her blurry figure to see the beads of water slowly rolling down her smooth skin.

The incense in the room made people feel at ease. It did not make people think of too many sad stories.

“Ziming, help me pass me that bottle of body lotion.”

Pei Ge stood in front of Ji Ziming in her light pink pajamas. Her hair was still messy and her body was covered in white mist, giving the room an even better smell.

“Okay.”

Ji Ziming reached out, picked up the bottle of body cream from her dressing table and handed it to her.

“Sit here, I’ll let you use it.”

Ji Ziming shifted his seat and signalled for Pei Ge to sit beside him.

Pei Ge gladly sat down and stretched out her long legs to rest on Ji Ziming’s legs. She leaned against the sofa cushion and closed her eyes, exuding a lazy aura.

Ji Ziming squeezed out some white lotion and applied it on his palm before gently rubbing it on Pei Ge’s fair and smooth legs. Bit by bit, the massage position was just right.

“Ziming, I want to visit Old lady Qu at the police station tomorrow. I have something to ask her.”

She closed her eyes and said softly.

“Are you going tomorrow? Rest well at home for a few days. There will be a lot of news reports these few days. If you go and look for her now, I’m afraid that...”
