Chapter 1184 - He should not have realized that she is Pei Ge.
It was a dark night.
The moon was round and bright.
After staying in the study for a while as he went through some documents, Ji Ziming recalled that his son had been wailing earlier.
A moment of consideration, and he decided to take a gander if his son had stopped crying.
On his way there, he did not hear the sound of wailing at all.
He heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that his mother had finally succeeded in pacifying his troublesome son.
In front of the little fella’s room, he paused for a moment before deciding to look inside.
Hence, he pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom.
“…My apologies, but I don’t even know when I got a Chinese name like that.” She coldly snorted and struggled with greater strength.
Her struggling was for naught, though.
“Please wake up! I’m called Regina—not Pei Ge!”
Seeing that she could not struggle out of his embrace, she did not bother making pointless effort and just calmly spoke.
“…Regina?”
He paused when he heard this.
“Yes.” She spoke calmly and composedly.
It was as though she were truly not her.
“…”
After a brief silence, he took a deep breath and finally let go of her.
He raised his head to look at her face, which was tinged with redness against her snowy-white skin.
He narrowed his eyes when he spotted how calm her expression was.
“I’d like to ask for you to leave for a moment as I still need to put on my clothes.”
She lowered her head a little, feeling slightly awkward when his gaze, which seemed to be capable of seeing through everything, remained fixed on her.
“…Mhm.”
After a long time, he finally retracted his gaze and turned around with a light hum.
She was speechless when he merely turned around to have his back facing her.
“Er, that… Can you leave? My pajamas are in bed.”
One she succeeded in chasing him out, she let out a relieved sigh.
As she put on her clothes, she pondered on if he had recognized her.
Why… am I having this nagging feeling?
Clearly, he shouldn’t have recognized me for Pei Ge…
