Pei Ge hurried to her bed and quickly picked up the hand phone.
“It couldn’t really be Dr. Chen, right?” She anxiously unlocked her hand phone and quickly opened the ssage inbox.
A foreign number appeared at the top of the screen.
Pei Ge was about to open the text ssage when the hand phone vibrated again. This new text ssage pushed down the other one that she was about to open.
“Uh...” She blinked her eyes as she wonderingly watched another text ssage from a foreign number co in.
She quickly tapped on the topmost text ssage.
[Miss Pei, are you resting already?]
Seeing this way of addressing her, Pei Ge quickly identified the sender of the ssage and hurriedly replied.
[Is this Dr. Chen? I haven’t rested yet.]
The other party promptly replied once she sent this ssage out.
[It’s great that I am not disturbing Miss Pei.]
The content of this ssage made her think that the man truly had good manners, causing her impression of him to go up by a notch.
[You don’t have to be so polite, Dr. Chen.]
[He he. May I ask if Miss Pei is free tomorrow?]
Pei Ge’s eyes widened at this text ssage.
Does Dr. Chen feel satisfied with ?!
She was stunned by this thought as she truly did not expect for the blind date this ti to work out.
Just as Pei Ge was in a daze, Chen Zhengchu sent over another ssage.
[I am really sorry about what happened tonight. I made you join on a blind date, but I actually left halfway.]
[It’s fine; it’s fine! I am quite free tomorrow. Dr. Chen, you can check your schedule for tomorrow, and we can et according to your availability.]
She replied to Chen Zhengchu with a smile on her face.
Honestly speaking, although she had participated in so many blind dates, she had only ever t them once and never progressed further thereafter.
If she had to speak frankly, this would be the first man to ask her out on a date in years.
When she thought up to this, she could feel herself getting giddy from excitent.
[Alright. Let’s et tomorrow night, then. You can decide on the venue.]
Seeing this, Pei Ge imdiately struggled internally.
Where should they et?
She was actually a hobody, so choosing a venue was a tall task for her.
[Er... Dr. Chen. I don’t really go out a lot. I think it’s better if you decide.]
Thinking for a bit, she ultimately decided that one would make fewer mistakes if one did fewer things. Thus, she decided to pass the responsibility of choosing a venue to Chen Zhengchu.
[Alright. Does Miss Pei like Japanese food?]
[I like anything as long as it is palatable.]
[He he! Alright, then. Let’s et at Nadaman Japanese Restaurant tomorrow night.]
[Sure! See you then.]
After she bid Chen Zhengchu good night, she excitedly lay in her bed.
“Dr. Chen seems like a really good person.” She buried her head within her blanket and mumbled.
She was long past the stage of getting married for love, especially after her experience with that jerk, Zhou Zhuoyang. Now, she no longer harbored any fantasies regarding love.
She was almost 27 years old. Hence, her only criteria for a husband were that he could live with her harmoniously and would not mistreat her and her mother.
It did not matter if there was no love between them, as she no longer put stock in sothing as unreliable as love.
Bzz bzz bzz! Her hand phone suddenly started vibrating again.
Pei Ge thought that Chen Zhengchu had sent her another ssage to tell her about sothing he had forgotten to say monts ago, yet it was unexpectedly not a text ssage but was instead a phone call this ti.
It was even from a foreign number.
Baffled, she tapped to answer the call.
“Hello.”
“Why did you not reply to my text?” A cold and low voice imdiately ca through the phone. Although the voice was srizing, it had a palpable pressurizing feeling.
Pei Ge was stunned for a mont when she heard the voice.
“Speak.” The man’s voice turned colder when she remained silent.
“Huh? C – CEO Ji? What text?” Pei Ge regained her senses and asked this in a silly manner, not understanding his question.
Why is this annoying fellow calling ? Also, what did he an by that?!
“... Stop playing the fool,” the man coldly replied. It was only a simple phone call, yet she seed to feel his cold aura.
“CEO Ji, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Did you send a text ssage to—” Before she could say the word ‘’, she recalled the text ssage that that was pushed down by Chen Zhengchu’s.
“Ah!” She exclaid as she widened her eyes in shock.
That ssage from a foreign number was sent by this annoying fellow, huh? That’s not right; why would he send a ssage for no good reason?
“You finally rembered it?” He coldly harrumphed.
“Er, I’m really sorry about that, CEO Ji. I was busy monts ago and did not notice the text ssage.” Pei Ge knew how temperantal and egotistical the man was, and since she wanted to have a peaceful rest tonight for her work tomorrow, she decided to treat the annoying fellow politely to resolve the matter quickly.
“With what?”
Even through the phone, she could imagine the man’s dark face from his voice alone.
“It’s sothing personal. CEO Ji, it is after working hours right now.” She recalled his attitude toward her blind date today and subconsciously hid the fact that she was conversing with Chen Zhengchu monts ago.
She initially thought that the man would not easily let her off the hook and would continue to pursue the matter, so she was already thinking of ways to answer his questions, yet he unexpectedly did not utter another word and just directly hung up on her like the proud and cold person he was.
“F*ck!” she inadvertently swore upon hearing the busy tone on the phone.
This is indeed that annoying fellow’s style!
I really don’t get why that annoying fellow would call . Did he purposely call to piss off?
Pei Ge was now really curious about Ji Ziming’s text ssage.
Opening her inbox, she lightly tapped on the unread ssage.
However, upon seeing the few words within, the corners of her mouth twitched.
[... Co to work on ti tomorrow. Don’t be late.]
“...” She was really speechless. What was this text even supposed to an?
“Lunatic,” she scolded him under her breathe and placed the hand phone to the side.
She felt stifled every ti she thought of how she would see this annoying fellow all day long starting tomorrow.
Forget it, Pei Ge! Stop thinking about it! Do it for the high salary! Fight on!
