Chapter 1006 - Can… I trust you?
“Ji Ziming, I’ve told you before that I don’t need your apology.”
In that split second, the sweet atmosphere between the two turned bad.
“…What do you want me to do, then?”
The man stared unblinkingly at Pei Ge after he was pushed away by her.
“Hoo!” She expended a heavy breath when she saw his unflinching gaze on her. “I don’t know.”
That was right. She did not know. She did not know what to do with him and what she should do with their relationship.
Her mind was in a jumbled mess right now.
“Is there a difference between me being angry or not? The key is what you’ve done, isn’t it?”

He dipped his head and lightly planted a kiss on her forehead.
“You’re my wife; of course, you can choose to believe in me…”
This statement made her gain some confidence. Her withered heart seemed to have been resuscitated, and in that moment, she was filled with courage.
The courage to clarify everything.
