Ji Ziming lifted his head, looked at Pei Ge, and asked, "Aren't you worried?"
"What am I worried about? If you're unable to change in such a short time, it's normal because you still haven't fully grasped the change in relationship yet. I don't get why he's now suddenly my uncle. I'm thinking that, perhaps, my mother doesn't even know we have this relative."
Tears of either agitation or regret welled up in her beautiful eyes.
"Let's go upstairs to meet Mr. Qu. Hmm… We need to change the way we address him slowly."
He shrugged as helplessness filled his eyes and his lips trembled slightly.
"Mhm-kay. Let's go, then."
Pei Ge stood up. There was a smile in her eyes as her mood felt great from this sudden news.
Just as they arrived at Qu Xiujie's door, the man's phone rang. It was a special line from home, and seeing that it might be an urgent call, he picked it up.
"Hello, Ziming? Where are you and Pei Ge?"
