  Being subjected to his intense gaze, she meekly followed him out of the company.

  Once they were out of the building, she heaved a sigh of relief.

  “Hoo……” She exhaled deeply.

  The expressionless man raised a brow when she did this, especially when she appeared to have been relieved of a heavy burden.

  “Why the long face?”


  His question made Pei Ge roll her eyes in exasperation. “You can try it yourself next time when you become the common enemy of a company’s female population. Haven’t you seen how those female workers here look at me?”


  For the rest of this afternoon, she really felt that she could not go anywhere at all! One would never know; she might be taught a lesson by the man’s admirers if she so much as made a trip into the washroom!

  Luckily, the CEO Secretariat was on the top floor. If not, she really did not know how many people would come to harass her.

  “Hm? How were they looking at you?” His interest was piqued by her huffy look.

  “It’s as if they wanted to eat me alive with their eyes!” She nudged her lips in irritation. “I say; why were you born with such an eye-catching face for nothing……”


  In the process, she forgot their actual relationship as she complained to the man next to her like his real girlfriend.

  There was an unexplainable intimacy in her tone.

  The man was apparently made amused by her speech as his stiff lips curled into a smile that turned his gaze hazy while he regarded her.

  “What’re you laughing at?! D’you know how horrible you are?! You didn’t even give me a heads up that you’re planning to expose our relationship!” Noticing his smile, she started grumbling at him at once.

  “Also, this afternoon, why did you chase Sister Xinlei and Qitong away?! Seriously! You even claimed that they had left on their accord and weren’t chased away by you! Next time, you’re forbidden from doing that……”


  She became more outspoken with him as she forgot her actual role in his life.

  The smile in his eyes deepened while he watched her grumble about him.

  Suddenly, he realized that this little woman’s attitude toward him had changed for the better once their relationship was exposed to everyone this afternoon.

  At least, she was no longer shying away from him.

  “Okay, I won’t do that next time.”


  Without a warning, he uttered these sweet words.

  These sweet nothings, which seemed as if they would never come out of this man’s mouth, instantly spooked her.

  Her feet stalled instantly.

  “What’s wrong?” When she suddenly stopped moving, he frowned at her inquisitively.

  She merely stared dazedly at him, though, her deep, black eyes filled with suspicion.

  “Ji Ziming, did you take the wrong medicine today? Why are you so unlike yourself?!”


  “.……” Faced with her expression that seemed to say, ‘You must’ve taken the wrong medicine today. Otherwise, why would you behave so abnormally?’ the smile on his face froze as the corner of his lips twitched.

  “You’ve been acting really strange today! Are you sure you are all right?” His silence made her blink curiously.

  The man helplessly raised his well-defined palm and poked her forehead with a finger.

  “I really don’t know what is inside your head sometimes.”


  “Aiyo!” Unable to evade in time, she felt his cold touch on her forehead and caused her to stare at him with her mouth agape.

  “Why did you poke my head?!”


  “Because you’re stupid.” With that, he poked her forehead again.

  “Don’t poke me again!” She huffily shielded her forehead with her palms.

  At this point, the two had wholly forgotten that they were at the company building’s entrance still.

  Hence, unbeknown to them, their interaction was witnessed fully by the employees of this company.

  Everyone was shocked to no end upon seeing their cold and aloof CEO performing these actions, which were sufficient to torture single dogs to death.

  The women, in particular, were not just shocked but also envious and angered at this scene!

  Fervently wishing to be the ones being poked intimately on the forehead by the man, they all gnashed their teeth at Pei Ge.

  “This is torture! Torture, I say! I’m still single!”


  “If I had known that CEO Ji has such low standards, I would’ve gone after him!”


  “This Pei Ge must have something others don’t!”


  “Wu wu wu! That little b*tch stole my husband! She’s so hateful!”


  “Wait for it! They’ll break up one day!”
……

  Of course, Pei Ge did not hear what these people were saying at all.

  In fact, this couple was ignorant to the intense stares on them of the crowd at the company entrance.

  On their way to the parking lot, they bantered, as if they were an actual pair of smitten lovers.

  Once they were inside the car, the two finally stopped their childish bantering.

  “Where are we going?”


  In a good mood, she smilingly asked the man this after she had buckled up her seat belt.

  “To Lily’s first.” He also buckled up his seat belt before he gave this reply.

  “Oh!”

  The car drove off with the couple in the car only occasionally chatting.

  Despite this, the atmosphere remained harmonious.

  The two seemed to be in a great mood today.

  In this fashion, they reached Lily’s salon.

  Alighting from the car, she made her way into the salon as she had done so many times before.

  “Ge Ge, you’re finally here! I heard that you’re coming over, so I’ve been waiting for your arrival!” Lily grabbed her hands the moment she walked inside.

  “Come, come, come! I prepared a beautiful evening gown for you today! This one looks heavenly and alluring! You’ll definitely stun everyone at the banquet and be the focus today with it!”


  She had an ominous feeling the moment she heard the stylist’s description of the gown.

  This was especially the case when he mentioned the term ‘alluring’.
