Chapter 1873: Only I Can Stand Beside You
Pei Ge paused for a while as she listened to Ji Ziming’s clear heartbeat. Every beat and every strike made her heart calm down even more. Everything in the world became more transparent and unimportant at this moment.
“Ziming, if I didn’t know you, what would I be doing now?”
“Of course, you’re waiting for me to come find you. Don’t tell me you want to leave with someone else? How can I, Ji Ziming’s woman, casually leave with someone else? In this world, only I can stand by your side.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes were firm and his cold aura suddenly appeared.
Pei Ge, who was lying on top of Ji Ziming, curled her lips. “Ziming, do you know what’s different between you and others? It’s not because you’re the CEO of the Ji Group, it’s not because you’re outstanding, nor is it because you’re better than others.”
“Then, why? Because I’m Ji Ziming?”
Ji Ziming smiled and lowered his head to look at the docile Pei Ge as gentleness flashed across his eyes.
“Ge Ge, if I’m not Ji Ziming, would you still be willing to be with me?”
She suddenly sat up and pursed her lips at the man sitting in front of her. “If you’re not Ji Ziming and I’m not Pei Ge, we still have to be together.”
“Why do you say that?”
Ji Ziming looked at Pei Ge as his eyes turned red.
“Because I love you.”
The word ‘love’ was still too heavy. To Ji Ziming, this word was enough to make up for all the things he wanted to know. Because of this word, his eyes shone even brighter when he looked at Pei Ge. The woman before him was none other than his Pei Ge, his only woman.
“Yes, you’re right.”
The cool night breeze gently blew at the curtains on the balcony. The crisp sound mixed with the soft whispers of the two people in the room. The night was so quiet, and the person beside them respectively was so adorable.
“Ge Ge, rest early. We’re going to see that person tomorrow.”
Ji Ziming’s voice was gentle as he adjusted the blanket beside him so that Pei Ge could lie down safely.
“Alright. Goodnight, Ziming.”
Pei Ge nodded and looked at the spot beside Ji Ziming. This was the place where she had slept for a long time. It was enough for her to be by his side all this while.
As for meeting Old lady Qu the next day, it was a matter of the next day. That night was destined to be a sleepless night.
All the heartache had disappeared at this moment. All that was left was the sweet dream of Pei Ge searching for her father.
“Daddy, where are you?”
The dreamscape was in full bloom and butterflies fluttered in the air. Everything was so beautiful. Pei Ge seemed to have returned to her childhood. She could not see her father anywhere.
“Daddy, are you here? Daddy, are you still here?”
Pei Ge shouted anxiously. In her dream, she could clearly feel her father beside her. In this fairytale-like world, there was only her and that patch of flowers and grass.
“Daddy, are you there? If you are, can you reply me? Daddy, where are you?”
Pei Ge’s voice sounded choked. She could not find her father and could only see the butterflies surrounding her.
“Ge Ge, daddy is right behind you.”
The voice came from behind her and the mist behind her slowly dissipated. Her father’s distinct silhouette finally appeared before her eyes. Pei Ge watched as her father’s appearance became clearer and clearer. His benevolent lips finally matched that of her memories.
“Daddy, you’re really here.”
Pei Ge ran over excitedly with a bright smile on her face. She was overjoyed to see her father. “I knew you would be here. I knew you would be by my side.”
“Silly child, of course I have to be by your side. You’re Daddy’s daughter. Where will Daddy be without you?”
Her father’s benevolent smile appeared in her line of sight. At this moment, she hoped that time would stop forever.
There was clearly a feeling that the two of them had been separated for a long time, but the moment she ran toward her father, she actually felt that she had never been separated from him. Perhaps, it was just an illusion of a dream, or perhaps, her longing had led her to find her father.
“Silly daughter, don’t worry, I will always be good. Don’t be afraid. Daddy will always be by your side. No matter where you go, who you meet, or what you do in the future, daddy will always support you. I will always be by your side.”
Her father touched her head, his voice coming from far away. She felt the warmth dissipate around her. She could almost feel her father moving away from her.
“Ge Ge, you have to remember that you have to have principles. There are things that you shouldn’t do, but for the things that you have to do, you have to do it quickly. You have to believe in yourself. You can do it better than anything else. That is because you are my most precious daughter, you are my greatest pride.”
Her father’s voice calmed down and his embrace became warm again.
“Daddy, where are you going?”
Pei Ge raised her head and looked into her father’s eyes. When their eyes met, the longing in their eyes became more obvious.
Maybe the longing was too heavy, maybe the two of them had been apart for a long time, maybe they had never forgotten each other.
“Daddy, can you not leave? Can you stay with me forever?”
Pei Ge’s voice was choked and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. The warm and fragrant air was like a water bag filled with water. It seemed that if she squeezed hard, the water would flow out.
It seemed that if she continued crying, her father would really leave her and never return.
“Ge Ge, you have to believe in yourself, you’ll do better than others. However, I still have my reasons for leaving. You have to believe that I want to be by your side forever, but we’re only separated for a short period of time now. When you wake up, you’ll know that someone will love you in my place.”
Her father loosened his grip on her, but she tightly held him in her arms and refused to let go.
