Chapter 3069: Avoiding acknowledgment
Translator: 549690339
“Ziming, what are you saying?” She could not bear to listen to this any longer and called out to stop him.””Ling Feng has good intentions from the start, but you’re always ridiculing him, whether it’s intentional or not. What would people think of us?”
After saying that, she also stuck her head out and said to Ling Feng,””Lingfeng, Ziming didn’t do it on purpose. He just wanted to joke with you and praise your house for being beautiful. Please don’t take it to heart.”
“Aoho, I’m not that petty. I know that Mr. Ji is envious of me. Well, it’s getting late. I wanted to invite you in for some tea, but you must be tired after a long day, right? You’d better return to the inn early. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll prepare well and invite you over again. Then ... I’ll go in first. ” Ling Feng pointed at his own door and laughed heartily, easily blending Ji Ziming’s sarcasm with PEI GE’s apologetic look.
Perhaps he was disappointed that she had distanced herself from him in the car earlier, but he did not show much enthusiasm toward her. This was something the man did not expect. In fact, she had been at a disadvantage since the start, making her feel that she was a petty man who cared about every little thing.
After bidding Goodnight to Ling Feng and watching him enter the house, she turned to look at him with eyes so cold that they could kill.
Just as he was about to ask her what she was going to explain, she helplessly retracted her gaze.””Let’s drive back to the inn. I’m tired. ” After he finished speaking, he leaned back on the pillow and closed his eyes.
His slightly opened lips were swallowed back before he could say anything.
Ji Ziming was actually very depressed. He had already reached his limit when she showed concern for a stranger like Ling Feng, and the jealousy in his heart had also reached its limit. However, with Ling Feng’s provocation and PEI GE’s reproach, he could not vent the anger in his chest. He felt that he would suffocate to death if he stayed in this small town for another day.
On the way back to the inn, he thought to himself, once I find Cheng Ningyuan, I must quickly settle the matter of him and his mother. Otherwise, I and PEI GE will not be able to leave this small town in peace and will have no way to get rid of that annoying Ling Feng.
However, when they returned to the inn, they didn’t find Cheng Ningyuan. The front desk staff told Wen Xin, who had come to ask about it, that two hours ago, Cheng Ningyuan had come to look for them. Because they had been waiting for a long time, he had not seen them return, so he had taken his luggage and checked out of the room, saying that he was going back.
“What? Did the waiter really say that?” In the room, PEI GE had just sat down to take a sip of water when she heard Wen Xin’s words. Her eyes widened, and she shot up from her seat before weakly sitting back down.
Ji Ziming, who was inside the washroom, also came out and asked,””Has Cheng Ningyuan really gone back?”
Wen Xin nodded at him with a long face.
“This kid, why is it that he usually looks so sleazy, but he’s so timid about reuniting with his mother? They didn’t even see him with their own eyes, and they’ve already escaped in such a hurry. ” Ji Ziming said unhappily as he walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water.
“No! I’m going to call him immediately and tell him that we’ve found his mother. He just doesn’t have the confidence to find another person. If he knows that we’ve found his mother, he’ll be very happy. Maybe he’ll come back tomorrow to meet his mother. ” As if she had suddenly thought of something, she hurriedly took out her phone from her bag.
“Sister Pei Pei, are you sure it’ll work? Cheng Ningyuan told me before that it wasn’t that he didn’t have the confidence to find Auntie, but that he didn’t want to look anymore. Didn’t you guys hear about this before? The Auntie had no intention of acknowledging Cheng Ningyuan. Today, we all saw it with our own eyes. She was obviously avoiding it. Are you sure we can make Cheng Ningyuan change his mind?” Wen Xin’s watery eyes had already begun to ripple, and her tone was full of hesitance.
“Let’s fight, we’ll have to face it sooner or later. If we don’t tell him, he might blame us when he finds out in the future. ” Ji Ziming replied firmly after hearing her words.
She did not have time to think and quickly dialed the number.
The phone rang for a long time before Cheng Ningyuan picked it up. The voice on the other end was still lazy and weak. “I’m already in A city. Pei Pei, I’ll have to trouble you to drive Wenxin home tomorrow.”
“Ning Yuan, why are you like this?” PEI GE did not expect Cheng ning to still be concerned about Wen Xin and not mention her purpose for coming here.
“I know what you want to say, and thank you for running hundreds of kilometers to find me. However, I don’t want to say anything more about this matter. I’ve already made my decision. You’d better come back tomorrow. There are still many things to deal with in the company. If you’re all away for three to five days, I’m afraid it’ll be a mess. ” Cheng Ningyuan was unusually calm, speaking as if none of this had happened.
“Cheng Ningyuan, listen to me. We’ve already found Auntie. She’s at ...” Wen Xin, who was standing at the side, could no longer hold it in and excitedly told Cheng Ningyuan this.
But before she could finish, Cheng Ningyuan interrupted her,””You don’t have to say anymore, I know. Besides, I’ve already decided to let this matter go. You can return to city A with Pei Pei and CEO Ji tomorrow. I still have some things to deal with. Pei Pei, I’ll hang up first. ”
“Wait!” Since PEI GE had put the phone on speaker, Ji Ziming could clearly hear the man’s words. Just as the man was about to hang up, he shouted,””Then can you tell me why? Do you know how much effort Pei Pei and I put in to find your mother? Why are you and your mother both resisting the acknowledgment of each other? What is it that you can’t get over that makes you run away from the precious kinship?”
“Is she ... Also trying to avoid acknowledging me?” Cheng Ningyuan did not directly answer his question. After a few seconds of silence, he sneered,””CEO Ji, is what you said true?”
The two looked at each other hesitantly, seemingly understanding something.
