He went to take a shower, only to find her awake.

Ji Ziming! She saw that he was half-naked and only had a towel wrapped around his waist, so she bit out his name in embarra.s.sment and anger.

Pei Pei! Youre awake! Ji Ziming threw away the towel he was using to dry his hair and rushed over.

She was so frightened that she retreated from her seat and looked at him with her large eyes in fear. Still, she raised her chin and, as if she could not lose, asked,Ji Ziming, who asked you to change my clothes? Youre taking advantage of me! I I can Sue you for s.e.xual hara.s.sment! If Shen Feng comes back from abroad and finds out that youve treated me like this, he will definitely not let you off easily!

With that, she pinched the blanket over her chest with one hand and pointed at his head with the other.

The man was overjoyed to see that she was able to scold others with vigor and did not care about how she scolded him.

Pei Pei, let me see if your fever has subsided. Worried that the medicine had not taken effect yet, he reached out to touch her forehead.

None of your business! She took another step back, and this time, she was already at the head of the bed.

Still, she put up a strong resistance and looked at him with a pair of watery eyes filled with disgust.

Ji Ziming could not care less as he wrapped one hand around her waist and used the other to quickly touch her forehead.

Panicking, she used her small hands to support herself on the mans muscular chest as she wriggled and struggled.Aiya, let me go! I dont need you to care, dont touch me!

Dont move, or I dont know if I wont be able to control myself and do something out of line to you! The mans deep and hoa.r.s.e voice rang in her sensitive ears.

She admired herself for being able to a.n.a.lyze the pros and cons so rationally in a state of fever and confusion. She swallowed her saliva and stopped struggling in her arms. She whispered,Ji Ziming, I Im fine now. Its already very late, so let me go back. Theyll be worried about me.

He ignored her and, instead, rubbed his forehead against hers to feel her body temperature. After a while, he slowly said,Yes, the fever seems to have subsided. No wonder you already have the strength to argue with me. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?

He gently let go of her and looked into her watery eyes with his dark eyes.

No, I really didn t! Please let me go back. She did not dare to move and only shook her head.

Shen Fengs men were already here earlier. You dont have to go home tonight He explained in a gentle voice when he saw that she was determined to leave.

However, before he could finish his words, she interrupted him with a cry of surprise.What? Who was here? How could you promise me that you dont need to go back? Youre lying to me again, arent you?

Pei Pei, dont be so agitated. Your fever has just gone down, so dont be so anxious. I really dont know which one I should answer first. The gentleness on his face gradually faded as he helplessly replied.

If I didnt ask you, would you have told me? Ji Ziming, either you tell me properly, or Ill definitely go back tonight! As she spoke, she lifted the blanket to get off the bed.

He immediately stopped her.Its Cheng Ningyuan. He said that Shen Feng has already returned to A city. He knows that youre with me, so he didnt let him bring you back. Pei Pei, Shen Feng doesnt even care about you, hes just using you. Tell me properly, did you come back to the country to get close to Ji group and me just to fulfill your dream and do what you like to do? He pressed her again when he saw her lost expression.

She pursed her lips and did not answer his question directly. Instead, with twinkling eyes, she said,If you were upright, you wouldnt be afraid of us approaching you and investigating you. Ive said it before, we have nothing to do with each other now. You cant interfere in my business.

Okay, its fine if you dont want to tell me. Ill just tell you that youre my Special a.s.sistant now. I called you over today and made you have a fever. As for Shen Feng, Cheng Ningyuan will be able to handle it. Even if you dont trust me, you should at least trust Cheng Ningyuan, right? Speechless, he let go of her and spread out his hands.

Hesitating for a moment, she timidly looked into his eyes and felt that he was not lying.Of course I trust Cheng Ningyuan. Im just afraid that you Youll treat me like you did before

Heh, Pei Pei, dont worry. Just now at the pool, I was just angry that you refused to accept the necklace I gave you and kept bragging about how well Shen Feng treated you. Now that the necklace is gone, I have nothing more to say. You also have a high fever because of me, so were even. I wont force you to accept the necklace anymore. You can rest here tonight and wait for the fever to subside. Ji Ziming said in a deep voice, his eyes full of hurt.

The necklace is gone, but you cant blame me for that! She rolled her eyes at him and muttered.

You The man raised an eyebrow at this and leaned his body toward her. His eyes seemed to be ablaze with anger.

This posture made her, who had just straightened her back, take a big step back in fear. She curled up under the blanket, revealing only her small head and a pair of wide, watery eyes.

His heart ached when he saw her acting like a frightened deer.Forget it, forget it. Since you dont remember anything, I wont argue with you. Alright, I still have things to do. You should rest first. Dont worry, Ill lock the door from the inside. You can go and check it carefully after I leave so that you can sleep in peace.

With that, he pinched the blanket for her and walked toward the door.

Only when she saw the man close the door behind her did she carefully reveal her upper body from under the blanket and slowly put it down.
