Chapter 918 - You are my woman; I will stand in front of you.
“Ge Ge, why haven’t you gotten tanner or become skinnier from this trip?!”
“…”
Pei Ge’s sentimentality turned into speechlessness when she heard her mother’s words.
“Mom, you’re too much! I applied sunblock every day; of course, I wouldn’t get a tan! You want my skin to become tan?”
It hasn’t been easy applying sunblock before going out every day, okay?!
As for why she did not become skinnier…
She glanced at Ji Ziming. Isn’t it all because of this guy?! If he hadn’t cook that well, I wouldn’t have eaten that much during the trip!
It was futile to try and reason with those rioters, who had likely been blinded by their jealousy under the guise of justice.
“Mom, don’t worry; you guys leave first,” the man said calmly. Thereafter, he turned to look at the group.
“Since you’re not leaving, I’m staying, too!”
Pei Ge stopped in her steps when she saw that he did not plan to leave. She had been hesitant to leave all this while; now, since her man was not leaving, she wanted to stay with him.
Unfortunately, this time around, not only did Qiao Jingyun refuse to let her go, the man did not let her stay as well.
“Pei Ge, you leave with Jingyun and our moms; I’ll take things from here.”
“Why must I leave? You’re not leaving!”
She looked at him confusedly, not understanding why she must leave while he would stay when the mob was here for the both of them.
“… Because I’ll be worried about you.”
The man vocalized his feelings after hesitating for a bit when he saw her refusing to leave.
The moment he gave this reply, not only her, even Qiao Jingyun paused.
“This thing began because of me. You’re my woman. No matter what, I must resolve this myself.”
