  “Pei Ge, in my eyes, no one can compare to you.”


  Ji Ziming turned to regard her seriously.

  “In my eyes, Qiao Jingyun can’t compare to you. You are much more outstanding than her.”


  His solemn expression made her heart quiver. She got that, at this moment, he was speaking the truth.

  He truly felt that she was more outstanding than that woman.

  “So, don’t think nonsense. You are the best to me, and no one has the right to doubt you.”


  He reached out and gently rubbed her head, his voice filled with extreme tenderness.

  He could tell that this stupid woman wanted to hide away due to her uncertainty.

  “There’ll be a gathering many in the upper-class will be attending. Attend it with me.”


  He looked at her solemnly.

  When that time came, he would announce that she was his fiancée.

  Otherwise, what would he do if this stupid woman was fooled by others?

  “Gathering?” She blinked in confusion. “I thought you hate going to such events?”


  The few times he had gone in the past with her seemed to be because they were related to work.

  This time, though, he did not specify that it was for business.

  It seemed more for strengthening connections than for entertainment.

  “Yes, but from here on, we’ll likely attend more often.” He gently patted her head again.

  He was originally intending not to go, but upon hearing her words, he decided to bring out this future wife of his for a few rounds to show others.

  He must let others know that she was his.

  Any unperceptive person would have to think twice before seeking trouble or eyeing his woman.

  “Oh……” Although she still did not get it, she did not delve deeper into it.

  The car quickly got onto the road and traveled toward her house.

  As his car drove off, the window of another car, which had been parked near the office building for some time, slowly rolled down.

  “Pei Ge, someone like you, what right do you have to be with my man? How are you a good match for him? Hur……”
……

  “Ah, right! I almost forgot to ask; why was your Yunyun looking for you?”


  Sitting in the passenger seat, Pei Ge suddenly recalled this and turned to address him.

  “Nothing important. She just wants me to be her plus one at a gathering.”


  He indifferently gave a reply.

  “Oh……” She narrowed her eyes and felt even surer that that woman was after her man!

  “Did you agree?”


  “Why would I?” he asked in return, his brow raised.

  Her lips curled up at his reply. With her eyes turning in their sockets, she slyly asked, “Then…… is she still attending?”


  “Yes.” The man nodded. As Qiao Jingyun’s company had just opened its doors, she naturally needed to increase her network and resources; hence, during this period, it was a guarantee that she would attend such social gatherings.

  “He he! Let’s attend it, too, then! I’ll be your plus one!”


  She grinned at him.

  “Okay. The one she plans to attend is the gathering I’ve just told you about.” He nodded in agreement.

  She burst out laughing when she heard that.

  “Ha ha! Ziming, you are too heartless!”


  “Huh? What do you I’m heartless?” He raised a brow, looking quizzically at her.

  “Ha ha! Nothing, nothing. Just concentrate on driving!”


  She was laughing so hard her body curled. Inside, she thought,

  Just like this, she laughed the whole way to her apartment building.

  Her laughter only stopped after they alighted from the car.

  “I think mom is done cooking! Let’s hurry up, so we can start eating!”


  She happily held his hand and walked up the stairs.

  Although he was pleased to see her happy, he still wished that they were in their shared house, instead.

  That way, the two of them could have a candlelight dinner.

  “Mom, we’re here!”


  Knowing nothing of her boyfriend’s thoughts, she happily took out her keys to open the door.

  Soon, her mother’s voice traveled from the kitchen.

  “Ge Ge, Xiao Ji, welcome home! Sit in the dining area; dinner will be ready soon.”


  Hearing this, she changed into her indoor slippers and dragged the man to the kitchen.

  The moment they entered the kitchen, the smell of delicious food wafted into their nostrils.

  She grinned upon seeing her mother busying herself in the kitchen. “Mom, it’s fine. Stop working and let Ziming do the rest!”


  “That won’t do! Xiao Ji is our guest!” Zhang Manhua turned around just in time to see her daughter pull the young man into the kitchen.

  “Also, he’s a busy man; how can he do this menial thing?”


  “Ha ha! Mom, let me tell you; Ziming’s cooking is so good both of us can’t compare to him!”


  After praising her boyfriend, Pei Ge pulled her mother out of the kitchen.

  “For today, let him show off his cooking skills to us!”


  She winked at the man thereafter. “Right, Ziming?”


  “Yes, auntie. Let me do it.”


  Zhang Manhua was stunned to see her boyfriend put on an apron and begin cutting vegetables skillfully.

  She recalled this young man having cooked for her daughter before, but…… she truly did not expect him to be so proficient in the kitchen!
