  “Ziming, you’re finally here!”


  When Mu Heng saw his childhood friend walk in, he excitedly put down his wine glass.

  Sitting with him were Liao Gaofei and Fu Mingxuan.

  The moment the man arrived, Liao Gaofei started teasing him.

  Meanwhile, Fu Mingxuan only looked at the man with a contemplative look as he downed his hard liquor.

  “Ziming, I must say; you’ve been spending all your time with Little Chili that you don’t even care about your brothers’ life and death anymore!”


  Mu Heng leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs, peering at his friend with a dandy look.

  “That’s right! I only realize now how disloyal you are, throwing your friends away in the face of love!” Liao Gaofei quipped in.

  Under their teasing, Ji Ziming sauntered in and unhurriedly sat down in the empty space on the sofa.

  “Sigh! Ziming, are you and Little Chili so smitten with each other that you guys can’t even separate for a bit?”


  His playboy friend quickly sat beside him and cheekily elbowed him.

  “That’s right. I heard…… that both your parents had met and that you two lovebirds are getting engaged.”


  Liao Gaofei keenly joined in on the questioning.

  One must know that in their circle, the man was known as a lone flower on the peak of a perilous mountain!

  Prim and proper, he was aloof toward anything, yet this lone flower atop a mountain was conquered by a simple woman.

  Moreover, it happened this fast!

  How could this not make his good friends feel curious?

  “Mhm.” He hummed in assent and cocked a brow at their anticipative gazes.

  “My gosh. You’re amazing! This speed! It’s really too fast!”


  His immediate acknowledgment shocked the two nosy men, and both started sighing in exasperation.

  “Are you and Ge Ge really getting engaged?” Fu Mingxuan, who was silently sipping his liquor all this while, suddenly put down his glass.

  For some reason, the air in the room turned still the moment he spoke.

  “Mhm.” Ji Ziming frowned a little, not liking the way his friend addressed his girlfriend.

  That was because…… it sounded too intimate.

  “Hur……” The other man let out a sarcastic snort. “Don’t you think that you’re being unfair to her?”


  “What?” His frown deepened at this inexplicable question.

  “Mingxuan, what’s wrong with you?” Even the usually insensitive Liao Gaofei could not help but feel that something was amiss with this.

  “Mingxuan!” With a vexed look, Mu Heng moved to stop him, but he was too late.

  “Ziming, hasn’t Qiao Jingyun returned?” Perhaps due to him drinking too much, the man carelessly loosened his tie and leaned back lazily on the sofa.

  “So what if she’s back?” Ji Ziming looked at him in confusion, not getting his point.

  “Hur!” He tugged his lips into a sarcastic smile and then continued evenly. “‘So what if she’s back’? Don’t forget; that woman’s relationship with you isn’t simple at all.”


  “Mingxuan, stop it!” Seeing that the man was about to beat himself up, Mu Heng tugged his arm with a conflicted look.

  If there was someone who understood Fu Mingxuan best in this room, this person would definitely be him!

  That was because…… he knew that the goddess in the man’s heart for over a decade…… was Pei Ge!

  It was so ridiculous no one in this world would expect such a coincidence to exist!

  His two friends actually fell in love with the same woman!

  Moreover, their feelings were equally deep and serious.

  “Mingxuan, are you drunk?” Liao Gaofei looked at his best friend in surprise. He felt that the man was not himself today.

  “All of you shut up! Let me finish my piece!” He coldly glared at the two before directing his gaze on to Ji Ziming.

  The man had also noticed his abnormality by now.

  “What do you want to say?” he asked coldly.

  “What I want to say?” Fu Mingxuan smirked, staring at him hard as he demanded, “Don’t you think you’re treating Ge Ge unfairly?!”


  “Treating her unfairly?” He frowned slightly. “Why do you say that?”


  “Your relationship with Qiao Jingyun is so ambiguous, but you’re now getting engaged with Ge Ge. Does she know about that?! You’re being too unfair to her.” Fu Mingxuan narrowed his eyes with displeasure.

  “Mingxuan, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’ve never been in an ambiguous relationship with Jingyun. Also, it has nothing to do with her whoever I get engaged.” The man tranquilly regarded him. “I’ve also never done anything unjust to Pei Ge.”


  “Oh, will you please stop lying? I don’t believe that you are clueless about Qiao Jingyun liking you! I also don’t believe that you don’t hold her dear in your heart! After all, you cared so much for her back then, right?”


  As he said this, his lips curled into another mocking smile. “You keep saying that you have no relationship with that woman, yet the way you call her sounds so intimate.

  “Why don’t I hear you calling Pei Ge ‘Ge Ge’?”


  His endless mockery would cause even the most gentle-tempered person to flare up, not to mention a person like Ji Ziming.

  “Fu Mingxuan, I don’t need you to care about my matters!” With a chilly look in his eyes, Ji Ziming coldly snorted. “Also, Pei Ge is my girlfriend. Your concern for her is a little too excessive!”


  “Your girlfriend? Your girlfriend so you have the right—”


  He slammed his glass on the tabletop, resulting in a loud crashing sound.

  However, before he could finish his sharp words, Mu Heng cut in.

  “Ziming, Ziming. Mingxuan is drunk; he’s drunk……”
