His gentle voice jolted her out of her stupor.
For some reason, Ji Ziming’s flawless face surfaced in her mind.
She quickly took a few steps away from Fu Mingxuan’s gentle touch.
He pursed his lips slightly when the warmth beneath his fingertips disappeared. Disappointment flashed past his eyes.
Still, he kept his expression gentle.
“Did you come with your boyfriend today?” He casually withdrew his hand, hiding his awkwardness, and smiled at her.
His question made her pause a little before she nodded.
“Yes. I came with my boyfriend.”
“Oh!” He nodded in acknowledgment, his eyes glinting with a cold light.
“What’s his name, then? Let me see if I know him.”
He grinned at her.
“His name is—”
She was just about to say the man’s name when that familiar-sounding voice reached their ears.
“Mingxuan! Mingxuan! Where are you? Quickly come near if you hear me! I have something urgent to say!”
She frowned.
Fu Mingxuan, who was waiting to hear her boyfriend’s name, frowned the moment he heard this call for him.
“Ge Ge, I have something on; I’ll be leaving for a bit. Stay here and don’t leave.” Not being the type to leave his brothers alone when he had a lover, he did not ignore Liao Gaofei’s desperate call for him.
She nodded with a smile at him. “Mhm-kay. Quickly go to your friend. He seems to need you for something.”
“Yeah.” He gave her one last long look before he walked to the courtyard.
Watching the man’s hasty departure, she could not help but mutter inside,
As she was feeling pleasant, a gentle yet familiar female voice sounded from beside her. This caused her good mood to plummet.
The viciousness she perceived in the voice made her narrow her eyes at the speaker.
Indeed, she saw a person she had not seen in a long time: her cousin, Pei Shishi.
Noting her white gown, Pei Ge raised a brow and said pointedly, “What a coincidence.”
“Truly, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here of all places.” Her cousin wore a jealous look.
Indeed, it was jealousy.
Ever since her useless cousin had appeared in this place, Pei Shishi had been full of jealousy of her.
She was jealous because Ji Ziming treated her cousin differently, jealous because her cousin could stand beside him looking beautiful, and jealous that her cousin was trampling on her again like before!
She was…… indignant!
Pei Ge felt uncomfortable under her fiery gaze, which seemed capable of engulfing her.
“Cousin, if you have nothing else to say, I’ll take my leave now. Ziming…… is still waiting for me.” Seeing the wickedness in her gaze, she calmly turned to leave.
Her way of addressing the man made Pei Shishi’s mind clear up instantly.
“You call him ‘Ziming’?”
She smirked at her mockingly.
“That’s right. He’s my boyfriend. What should I call him if not that?” Pei Ge shrugged offhandedly, looking blissful.
Pei Shishi only felt her blissful look painful to her eyes.
“Hur hur.” Suddenly smirking at her cousin, she mockingly said, “Pei Ge, do you think that he truly likes you?”
“Oh, if my boyfriend doesn’t like me, then why is he dating me?” She smiled at her freely, seemingly unaffected by her words.
That calmness did not extend inwardly, however.
“Hur hur! What a joke, Pei Ge. What part of you do you think can make him like you?” Haughtily raising her chin, the other slowly strode toward her with a disdainful look.
Even though her heart was wavering, Pei Ge still raised her chin defiantly to face her cousin’s overbearing attitude.
“Is that so? Still, Ziming is now my boyfriend. Isn’t that what I’m good at?” She smiled very sweetly at her, not backing down.
Pei Shishi clenched her fists tightly and swore inside. The smile on her face just grew wider and gentler, though.
“Don’t you find it strange? Why did he make you act as his girlfriend to hide from me then? You should know that he is never the type to need a woman’s help to dodge another woman……”
