Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Pei Ge exited the alley and returned to the restaurant, she was surprised to find her and Wen Qimo’s table vacant.
“Yi, where did everyone go?” She was full of questions as she approached the table, which still had a few leftover dishes.
She lifted her head and looked at where Tang Xiaoyu was sitting.
She was stunned.
Her best friend’s seat was empty, too.
“What’s going on? Where did they disappear to?” she mumbled as she took out her phone. She was just about to call her friend to inquire about this when Tang Xiaoyu and Wen Qimo walked over together.
“Xiaoyu, what’s going on? Why are you two together?” Seeing her best friend and fake boyfriend appear at the sa ti, she could not help but wonder.
How could these two, who were strangers to each other, be together? Did sothing happen?
“Oh, I went to find this rascal here to discuss so matters,” her best friend explained with a grin as she walked to her side.
“Oh, I see.” She gave her a skeptical look. What could her best friend possibly talk with Wen Qimo?
“What about you? What private matter did CEO Ji talk to you about?” Tang Xiaoyu curiously asked.
“Nothing much.” Pei Ge pursed her lips as a ntal image of the furious Ji Ziming appeared before her eyes.
Pu dong, pu dong! Her heart beat quickly.
For so reason, she still found that annoying person’s furious expression rather cute.
“Ge Ge, so many things happened earlier; you must not have eaten your fill. Let’s continue eating; I’ve really troubled you a lot today,” Wen Qimo gently said.
At his invitation, she looked over to the alley she had just dashed out of and declined with a shake of her head, “No need; since your parents are gone, my mission here is also done. We’ll take our leave now.”
“What’s the rush? The food here is quite delicious. Let’s sit down and eat sothing first before leaving,” Tang Xiaoyu lightly urged as she pulled her toward the table still quite full of dishes.
She was so focused on watching the drama that she had not eaten anything yet.
“Xiaoyu, let’s go eat soplace else. I’m craving for so desserts,” she seriously told her with a hint of urgency.
While she found that annoying person rather cute, she was still a little afraid of him. If he returned and saw her still daring to eat together with Wen Qimo, she was bound to have so unlucky encounters with him.
Hearing the urgency in her voice, Tang Xiaoyu could only nod. “Alright, let’s go to a nice dessert shop.”
As such, the two bid Wen Qimo goodbye and left the hotel.
Just as they left, Ji Ziming and Ji Lelin returned to the restaurant.
The mont he walked in, his gaze swept over to where Pei Ge was sitting before.
When he saw that only Wen Qimo remained at the table, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
That foolish woman still has so sense.
His eyes narrowed as he approached Wen Qimo.
“Stay away from Pei Ge,” he said the mont he reached his side and then walked off without waiting for the other’s reply.
“He he...” Wen Qimo’s mouth twitched as he watched him walk away.
“Ze, how arrogant.” That is not the proper way to woo a woman.
He eyed his departing back and snorted before digging into his food again.
Ji Lelin, who had accompanied Ji Ziming over, clasped her hands tightly together, and shot Wen Qimo an angry look when he did not even cast her a glance. She then turned and left with Ji Ziming.
Hearing the receding sound of the high heels, Wen Qimo broke into a smile.
Finally, this ti, he managed to deceive Ji Lelin.
...
“Ge Ge, tell honestly; what exactly happened between you and your boss?” Tang Xiaoyu concernedly asked Pei Ge, who was drinking tea after eating desserts, opposite her.
“Nothing really happened.” Pei Ge licked her lips and gave this reply.
“Alright, don’t lie to now. You, a foodie, wouldn’t insist on leaving that restaurant without eating anything first if nothing happened. You seem to be fleeing back then.” She dismissed her lie with an eye roll.
Pei Ge saw how adamant her best friend was about getting an answer as the latter regarded her with an I-know-you-are-lying-so-tell--the-truth look, so she had no choice but to spill the beans.
“Alright, sothing did happen.”
“Hurry, hurry,” Tang Xiaoyu impatiently urged. Her heart was currently filled with the desire to gossip.
Having witnessed all that drama back at the restaurant, she was now a hundred-percent sure that Ji Ziming liked her best friend!
“Actually... He’s just unreasonably angry with . He was clearly also there on a date, yet he was still so critical about mine, as if it’s a cri for to go on a date,” she complained with a pout.
Pak! An excited Tang Xiaoyu slapped the table forcefully.
This sudden action caused Pei Ge to jump in surprise.
“Ge Ge, your appeal hasn’t diminished after all these years! I’m telling you; your boss definitely likes you!” she exclaid excitedly.
“...” She was first silent at her words before replying, “Forget it; let’s not talk about this.”
It did not matter whether he liked her or not; the difference between their families was just too huge.
“You’re afraid, aren’t you?” she asked knowingly when she saw her retreating behavior.
She understood her best friend very well. She was feisty on the outside, but she was actually very sensitive on the inside.
Due to Uncle Pei’s sudden passing, Pei Ge’s personality had changed. The carefree girl, who was like a ball of sunshine, beca a timid and self-depreciating person after a series of hardships.
Moreover, with Zhou Zhuoyang’s betrayal, she was even more sensitive now.
She could tell that her best friend was in love with the man, except that she was afraid to admit it.
After all, Ji Ziming was a very outstanding man.
Most won would be unable to resist him!
“What am I afraid of?” Pei Ge pouted with a careless shrug, as if she were not bothered at all.
“Qie! Don’t I know you? You are actually—” Before she could finish her words, Pei Ge interrupted her.
“Alright, alright, you are right. Why don’t you tell why you were together with Qimo?” she blinked, her eyes pleading.
She was really tired. Too many things had happened today, and she was too tired to talk about Ji Ziming.
What did it matter whether he had feelings for her or not?
All these were too distant to her. She rely wanted to have an average boyfriend, have an average relationship, and marry that said person.
Ji Ziming would never be an average man.
