Chapter 522: Pei Ge, I can give you time.Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ji Ziming, you can’t be too unreasonable! I said I don’t want to cohabit with you! I don’t want to live with you! Do you not hear me?!”

Pei Ge’s face turned white from anger as she glared hatefully at the man.

She, who was already muddle-headed from her anger, forgot that they were in public right now.

As it was also the weekend, more people were on the street than usual.

In fact, most of the pedestrians were female who had flocked over because of the man’s good looks.

Hence, her angry bellow had the effect of stabbing a beehive!

“My gosh! Did I hear it wrongly?! What did that woman say?!”

“Something must be wrong with my ears! That ugly woman said that that uber-handsome guy wants to cohabit with her, and she actually dared to reject him!”

“She must be crazy! That guy is so handsome; how can he possibly want to cohabit with her?!”

“Hur hur. That may not be entirely impossible. Maybe, he has a different standard of beauty from us!”

“If I were that woman, I’d definitely go along with that man…”

“She really doesn’t know how to appreciate her luck…”

“What can you expect from a pretentious type…”

Her face turned ugly when she heard the crowd’s ridiculing of her.

That’s right. Who am I? What right or status do I have to say these things to Ji Ziming…

How laughable I am…

Just as these women are saying, I am merely a toad, and how can a toad crave for swan meat?

I am really overrating myself…

As she was bitterly thinking of this, she felt a strong arm encircle her.

Following this, sounds of exclamations rang about.

“Ahh!”

“Gosh!”

“How suave!”

She dazedly raised her head as the females around her swooned and belatedly realized that he was embracing her.

She stared at his beautifully carved strong jaw, feeling the broadness of his chest and smelling his body’s pleasant scent.

Involuntarily, tears brimmed in her eyes.

This man… Did he hug me because he’s trying to protect me?

Can I… think of it like that?

“Let’s go. This is no place to talk,” he said gently.

“Mhm…” She nodded obediently. She did not struggle when he held her hand this time. Instead, she leaned into his embrace like an obedient child and followed him away from this location.

Along the way, she received countless envious looks.

Bang!

She finally recovered her senses from the unexpected warmth and gentleness she had received from the man when they got into his car.

“Just now—” Thank you. Before she could thank him, the man interrupted her.

“Pack up tomorrow and move out on Monday.” He gave her this order while he was holding the steering wheel.

She froze at his words.

Whatever grateful feelings she had for him flew out the window in that instant.

His cold order was absolute, giving her no say in the issue. It woke her up as effectively as a knock on her head.

“Ji Ziming, I really can’t stay with you. You know that I live with my mom; I can’t possibly explain to her why I’m moving out.”

She sucked in a deep breath, trying to make her voice seem stable and not reveal any emotion.

“Is that so.” He merely peered at her, seemingly not caring about her explanation. “It’s very easy to come up with a lie, right?”

She pursed her lips tightly at that.

“I don’t want to lie to my mom.”

“You already lied before.” He merely peered at her again. His patience had reached its limit at her constant rejections.

He, Ji Ziming, never had much patience for anyone else to begin with.

He only gave absolute orders, yet because of her, he had to give in many times. It was so many times that… he seemed to have turned into someone who had an unlimited amount of patience only for her.

“Ji Ziming, don’t go overboard!” She was instantly enraged by his unreasonable words.

“I am not the least bit overboard. Pei Ge, don’t forget that you signed that contract of your free will. No one forced you into doing it,” he coldly said.

This d*mn, stupid woman! Is it that hard to agree to living with me?!

She is this unwilling?! Good! I’ll insist on making her stay with me, then! That way, she can see my every day!

“…” She balled up her palms into fists. She herself did not know why she was quarreling with this man over this stuff.

She also did not realize… that she was secretly happy at the idea of living together with the annoying fellow…

“Huuu…” She expelled a long breath and lowered her head.

Actually… there’s no reason for me to fight him in this, is there?

I am his girlfriend now, anyway… anyway… I am already his wife…

In any case… I have already done all that should and shouldn’t be done. Now, we are merely cohabiting, so why refuse it so adamantly?

Isn’t it better to live life a little more blur and less serious sometimes?

After all… When it’s time for us to part in the future, I will likely have no chance of seeing him again.

Since I can live with him without anything happening between us, why not let myself have a few good memories of him?

He watched her lower her head silently in seeming aggravation, and his attitude toward her involuntarily softened.

Suddenly, he felt that he had been a little too forceful with her.

He stared at her nape for a long time and finally opened his mouth to speak.

“Pei Ge, I… can give you time.”

He could give her time, but he would not let them live apart anymore.

This was Ji Ziming’s bottom line.
