“Okay . ” Pei Ge nodded as she glanced at the man seated on the couch .
Ji Ziming’s features were illuminated by the store lights .
“How’s this one?” He pointed to a white dress next to her . It was adorned with strings of pearls at the waist and had flower embroidery at the hemline—a fusion of eastern and western design .
“It’s not bad; it just seems…”
“Seems what?”
“I think it’s a little long . ”
“It’s not . ”
The person in charge brought an assistant in uniform over . “Sir, ma’am, I’m stylist Xiao Mei; I’ll be helping madam with her shopping today . ”
The man narrowed his eyes as he looked at this stylist . For some reason, she looked familiar .
“Okay . You can pick clothes for her . ”
“Okay . ” The woman nodded and bowed . She then looked plainly at Pei Ge .
Ji Ziming’s eyes hardened as he looked at this stylist . Did he make a mistake?
“Ma’am has a good eye . This dress is a masterpiece of Ada from Chanel group . It’s called ‘The Magnificent Bride’ . I think it’ll fit you well . Would you like to try it?
Pei Ge frowned . Was it the stylist’s job to butter up to customers?
“If madam doesn’t like it, I’ll bring you to try others . ”
“I’ll try it . ” She took the dress from Xiao Mei . Just as she was about to walk into the changing room, a laugh came from the door .
“I have my eye on that dress . ” Qu Jingwan looked at her from the door, unaware of the man seated nearby .
“Miss, th-this dress…” The stylist stammered as she looked at the three people . She was afraid of offending any of them .
“I said I have my eye on it . ” She only saw the man, who was seated on the couch with a cold expression, when she went over in her stilettos . “Z-Ziming, yo-you’re here . ”
Madam Ji told her that Pei Ge would be shopping today, but the former did not mention that the man would accompany her .
“What a coincidence, Miss Qu!
“Are you here to shop, too?” Pei Ge asked this lady, who had lost her arrogance from a moment ago .
“Yes, what a coincidence,” said the latter while wearing an insincere smile . She wanted to put down Pei Ge today for yesterday’s embarrassment, but unexpectedly, the man was with her . With the two shopping together, she appeared to be the third party in their relationship!
The man got up off the couch . “Let’s go . ”
“Where to?” Pei Ge asked with a blank expression, looking at his arm around her waist .
“Somewhere else!”
“Oh, okay . ” She nodded obediently as she leaned into his embrace . From the corner of her eye, she saw Qu Jingwan glaring at her .
“Thank you for coming, sir, ma’am!” The staff bid the pair goodbye with a bow .
Qu Jingwan only returned to her senses once the couple was gone, and she stormed off the boutique in anger .
“Manager, which one of those two women is the CEO’s wife?” asked Xiao Mei after the trio left .
“How would I know? I only know that Miss Qu isn’t to be trifled with . That lady has her work cut out for her . ”
“That’s the young lady of the Qu family?”
“Yes . How many other Qu families are out there?”
“I thought she’s…”
“She’s what?”
“Nothing . Manager I’m going to work now . ”
“Go ahead . ”
Looking at her odd actions, the store manager felt that this employee had an inside story, but that had nothing to do with her now . The more she knew, the tougher her life would be, after all .
“I don’t want to shop anymore . You can just buy whatever you think suits me . ” Pei Ge told Ji Ziming this when they arrived at the second boutique .
“Are you tired?” The man’s eyes turned warm again, and his arm around the woman loosened .
“A little . I don’t wanna fight with Qu Jingwan, but she seems bent on picking a fight with me . ”
“Then, just bring out your feisty persona . ”
“That’s not a good idea . ”
“It’s fine as long as I think it’s a good idea . ”
“Then, can the great CEO pick out a few pieces of clothes for me? I’ll tell you my sizes—” She made this request to the man as she sat on a nearby couch .
“I know them . ” The man did not let her finish speaking .
“Okay, then . Go ahead; I’ll take a break . ”
“Mhm . ”
Ji Ziming walked over a clothes rack and picked out some clothes . “These two . ” He walked over to another rack . “These three . ” He then glanced around the boutique and continued . “Except for these few, I’ll take everything else . ”
“What?” The woman sat up straight and gawked at him .
“What’s wrong?” He smiled .
“So many?”
“Yeah . ”
“I won’t be able to finish wearing them even if I wear one a day . ”
“Then, just wear two a day . ” He smiled as he eyed the blushing woman on the couch . “You don’t like this? We can always go to another boutique . ”
“No need; no need . ” Pei Ge immediately stood up . The staff was already removing the clothes from the racks and putting them into several boxes . She teased, “Sir is definitely rich and generous . ”
“I’m always willing to spend money on you,” retorted the man, raising a brow at her . His face was gentle .
“I’m tired; let’s go home . The kids don’t know that I left . ”
“What’re you afraid of? Mom’s at home, as well as those caretakers and drivers . ”
“It’s not the same . ”
“Hmph!”
He finally managed to get this woman out alone, but her thoughts were still elsewhere .
“Let’s go back . ”
The man walked toward the door as the staff sent them off .
“Are you… jealous?” asked the woman tentatively .
His face froze before he scoffed . “How could that be?”
How was that possible? If that got out, he would lose his reputation!
“Oh, that’s good . ”
“Let’s go,” said Pei Ge when the man refused to admit it .
As he watched the woman next to him beam in excitement at the thought of returning home to their kids, his eyes hardened and he pressed his index finger on her lips .
“What is it?” asked the woman, feeling the warmth of his fingers on her lips, as she looked him in the eyes .
His expression turned colder . He grabbed the back of her head and pressed his lips on hers . The taste of her nearly crumbled his rationality .
He only let go of her after a while .
“You’re mine!”
Pei Ge was stunned . The man was really jealous—jealous of their kids .
The man ignored her after that . With pursed lips, he started the car .
