Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 1767

Chapter 1767: Uncle, Put Me Down

Mao Nana, who wanted to explain that she was fine, frowned in pain. Her delicate brows were filled with a thick layer of pain.

Qu Xiujie stood there in a daze for a few seconds and quickly walked forward. He took the apron from the table and covered Mao Nana’s legs. Charlie, who rushed over after hearing the commotion, only saw the apron wrapped around Mao Nana being hugged by Qu Xiujie. Although the woman’s shy expression made one’s eyes light up, the intense nervousness in Qu Xiujie’s eyes confused Charlie.

Butler Charlie only entered the kitchen twice today. The first time was when he saw Mao Nana and Qu Xiujie quarreling with each other while washing the dishes. This time, he saw Mao Nana falling on the floor but was held in Qu Xiujie’s arms like a treasure.

Perhaps what Mao Nana cared about had already been answered at this moment.

“Uncle, put me down. I can walk by myself…”

Mao Nana blushed. The moment she fell, she knew that there was an unbreakable connection between her and Qu Xiujie.

As she loved wearing short skirts, she had never thought that she would fall in the kitchen one day and be seen by the person she loved the most. She also did not expect that she, who was about to leave after making a cake for Qu Xiujie a few seconds ago, would be hugged by Qu Xiujie in the next second and rushed to the hospital.

Qu Xiujie hugged Mao Nana and did not say anything but the nervous expression on his face betrayed his thoughts.

“Uncle…”

Mao Nana’s soft and cute voice sounded a little weak but Qu Xiujie growled, “Stop talking! I’ll bring you to the hospital.”

When Qu Xiujie carried Mao Nana and said a few words to Butler Charlie, they got into the car parked at the entrance. It had not been more than ten minutes since Mao Nana fell and Qu Xiujie brought her to the hospital.

Pei Ge, who was standing on the second floor, opened the door. When she heard Charlie telling her a simple story, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Hence, the answers she wanted to know were meaningless.

As long as the two of them were together, as long as they were not afraid of age or even the mockery of others, what did it matter if they tried to be together?

Pei Ge walked into the room and was about to sit down when she heard Zhang Manhua and Ji Ziming’s voices. “What happened?”

“It’s nothing. Nana fell and Uncle took her to the hospital nearby.”

“Nana fell down?”

Zhang Manhua was so nervous that she frowned. Just as she was about to head downstairs, she was stopped by Pei Ge. “Mom, have you forgotten about your daughter?”

Only then did Zhang Manhua stop in her tracks and return to the sofa. She smiled apologetically. “How can that be? You are my daughter. Besides, Nana is a guest who is staying here temporarily. If anything happens to her, how am I going to explain it to her?”

“I think you don’t want your daughter anymore.”

Pei Ge pursed her lips and sat beside Ji Ziming. The reports and documents on the table were lying on the floor, but the data written on them could easily cause people to be lost.

“What you’re saying is that if I don’t want you anymore, who else will want you? If you’re talking about Ziming, if you didn’t —”

“Mom, don’t say anymore. I know I was wrong. If you really like that Nana, quickly let her and uncle have a happy ending. It’s not good to drag this on. After all, she’s still a big girl. If this continues, I’m afraid…”

Pei Ge was deep in thought. If Mao Nana lost her patience because of her uncle, the person who would be sad in the end would really be sad.

“You have a point. I understand. I’ll talk to your uncle about it. Alright, tell me about the information you’ve gathered now. I want to see if it’s the last thing your father said.”

Zhang Manhua’s voice was cold and her gaze on Pei Ge became kind.

“Mom, didn’t you say that Dad wanted to tell you something when he came back? Do you know what he wanted to tell you?”

Pei Ge frowned and looked at the document on the table. It clearly listed what Old lady Qu did when Pei Ge’s father was in trouble. Ji Ziming and Qu Xiujie had discussed it and Qu Xiujie was sure that it was Old lady Qu’s doing.

Although there was no evidence yet, Pei Ge was willing to believe that in this world, other than Old lady Qu, there was no one else who would purposely go against them or even harm them.

“Mom, no matter what dad told you when he came back, I won’t let the culprit get away scot-free. No one knows what she did now, but it doesn’t mean that no one will ever find out. Whatever that she took away, I’ll make her return everything.”

Pei Ge’s voice was filled with ruthlessness as she gritted her teeth. Ji Ziming, who was sitting beside her, looked at her lovingly and reached out to cover the back of her hand. “Ge Ge, you still have me.”

Pei Ge turned around and met Ji Ziming’s deep and affectionate eyes. His handsome features were filled with love and trust. The warm touch on the back of his hand made her feel slightly comforted.

As long as this person was by her side, no matter what kind of hardships she was going through, she would become braver with him by her side. It was also because of his existence that Pei Ge believed that there was someone else in this world who was willing to share your pain and happiness.

“Ziming, I know that you’re willing to help me all the time, but I want to do it myself this time. I want to find out who the last person is and remove her hypocritical mask layer by layer. I want to ask her what she wants, why she wants to destroy someone’s family in such a cruel and bloody way, and why she’s unwilling to stop after getting everything she wants.”

Pei Ge’s voice was filled with anger. She could not understand and could not explain that there was a fire brewing in her chest that seemed to be burning.

However, she could not extinguish the fire bit by bit.

Perhaps, the culprit would appear in front of her and tell her why.
