Chapter 1439: Disturbance at the Banquet Hall
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qu Jingwan got off the elevator . When she passed by a certain room, the manager by her side spoke . “This is the CEO’s presidential suite, and opposite of it is the young master and young missus’ room . ”
“Where is Pei Ge’s room?”
“That… We didn’t receive any orders from the CEO . ”
“So that means she’s staying with him in the same room?”
“That seems to be the case . ”
“Okay . Where is my room?”
“Just right in front . ” Xu Weitian pointed at the room ahead .
This was a spacious, European-style room . The few devil’s ivy plants on the balcony were lively and delightful to behold . The beige curtains were patterned with clouds and sunflowers . She recognized the oil painting hanging above the bed . This 20-million-yuan worth painting was won by Ji Ziming in an auction in France . Since this painting was hanging here, it meant that not anyone, even if they were rich, could stay in this room .
“Ma’am, I’ve already brought you to your room, so I’ll take my leave now . ” The manager did not enter the room .
“Alright . You may leave . ” She took a seat on the bed, bouncing a little as she did . The softness level of it was to her liking .
Suddenly, she recalled her cousin’s words .
‘Where are you at? You are at Ji Ziming’s house, the richest man in the capital!’
Yes, I may be in the Ji family’s house, but the man who can shake the capital with just a stomp of his foot doesn’t even deign to give me a friendly look .
She lay down in bed, suddenly feeling very fatigued . When was the cousin she had long been pining for ever going to think for her sake?
Ding-dong! The sound of the doorbell jolted her out of her thoughts .
“Manager Xu, do you still have…” She was about to reprimand the guy after she opened the door but realized that the person outside the door was a different person . It was a server dressed in a white shirt with a matching black vest .
“Ma’am, this is the item Old Qu wanted us to pass to you . Please receive it . ” The server’s head remained lowered while speaking in a mild tone .
“Oh, okay . Thank you . ” She paused for a moment before taking the item from the server . Following which, the latter turned around and disappeared into the elevator .
This was a box covered in black mesh . This palm-sized item appeared very mysterious .
“What is this?” She unpacked the box from the black mesh . What greeted her sight was a purple cloth with floral design . It looked exquisite but foreign to her .
Inside the pink indentation of the box lay two small, glass bottles .
Her phone, which was left on the bed, suddenly rang . It was her maternal grandmother .
“Have you received it?” The old lady’s low and stern voice came through the phone .
“Yes, I did, but I still don’t know what this is for . ”
“One is a cream and the other is liquid . ”
“Mhm, yes . What is this?”
“You don’t need to know what it is . You just need to know how to use it . ”
After settling her kids, Pei Ge returned to Ji Ziming’s room to take a shower . Wearing a white robe, her wavy hair reached her waist and her bare face was simply stunning .
She rubbed her thin waist . She had been so busy with Ji Chi recently that she had not had the time to take a proper nap . Luckily, the man was not in the room, so she could take her due sleep .

Alas, ten minutes into her sleep, she was awoken from her slumber by the man’s knocking at the door .
“What is it?” she asked unhappily . Nothing was more important than her sleep .
“I came to get something . ”
“Why would your item be with me?”
There were two single rooms in the presidential suite . The rooms had different styles: European and Mediterranean . She was staying in the latter .
Her drowsy look and her body’s smell made the man’s Adam’s apple move as his gaze lingered on her slightly exposed cleavage .
“Then, come in to get it yourself . ” She opened the door for the man and climbed back in her bed .
The bed was very soft and comfortable . If not for him, she would already be soundly asleep to wake up later, well-rested and spirited .
She was so drowsy that she did not even notice that Ji Ziming had quietly stopped in front of her . The latter was resting his head against her bedside and was silently watching her go to sleep . Her eyelashes fluttered about just like butterfly wings and her pinkish cheeks accentuated her exquisite features .
The woman did not respond this time as she had already fallen into dreamland, all the way until evening .
The evening sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was a rare sight . Pei Ge walked out without wearing her indoor slippers and leaned against the railings to admire at the scenery . All her worries had disappeared as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the sweetness of the evening breeze .
The door was pushed open . This was the female manager, Zhao Lei .
“Ma’am, this is the evening gown the CEO has chosen for you . ” The female manager stood at the door respectfully .
“Alright . Leave it on the table . Where is he?”
“He’s waiting for you at the banquet hall on the seventh floor . ”

“You’re welcome, ma’am; I’ll take my leave now . ”
She turned around to look at the black, high-waist, maxi dress . She felt that she had seen the dress somewhere before . It looked just like the one worn by a female model on the cover of Chanel’s fashion magazine last week .
The woman remembered the man asking her if this dress was nice . She casually answered ‘yes’ then . He had unexpectedly remembered her innocuous comment and prepared it for her .
Honey filled her heart as she changed into the gown and boarded the elevator to the seventh floor .
At the banquet hall on the seventh floor, the lights were glamorous . People attending the gathering were either rich or famous . High-ranking female officials and figures excitedly clamored to get a peek of Ji Ziming’s handsome visage in real life .
When the waiter brought champagne over, she gracefully accepted it and started looking for the man’s shadow in the crowd .
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind her .
She turned around and spotted the man wearing Giorgio Armani’s pure, handmade suit . Her handsome features seemed to be carved by the gods themselves as his dark and deep eyes met hers . “Beautiful . ”
She smiled . “Are you praising this gown or are you complimenting me?”
“You know it yourself . ” His lips curled up and he hooked out his right elbow, signaling her to put her arm through it .
“Okay . ” She hooked her arm through his with practiced ease and joined the crowd .
Qu Jingwan, in a sexy, low-cut, and backless dress, made her way to the man . She attracted the many gazes of the opposite sex along the way . Her smile was one that people could not overlook, too .
“Ziming, shouldn’t you be escorting me in?” She put up a smile that did not reach her eyes . Her voice was not too loud but was enough for those nearby to hear it .
“Who is this? Isn’t this the Qu family’s eldest daughter? Young Master Ji’s fiancée of the legends . ”
“Why have I never heard of it? If Miss Qu is his fiancée, then who is the woman beside him?”

“She looks quite familiar . ”
The voices of the crowd around them were at the right volume where Ji Ziming and Pei Ge could hear .
“I think it’s better for you to enter with Miss Qu for everyone’s sake . ”:

“Pei Ge, I don’t think it’s right for you to do this . ”
Qu Jingwan smiled at her . Under the crystal lights in the hall, the sights of the guests gathered on the trio talking .
Pei Ge was the first to release his hand and pushed him forward slightly and right in front of the other . Seeing this, Qu Jingwan quickly grabbed hold of the man’s hand and gave her a fake, cordial smile .
After entering the banquet hall, the sight of the delicacies on the tables made Pei Ge’s mouth water .
“Miss Qu, what the hell do you want to do?” The man was seething in anger .
“What other motive will I have? You’ve been neglecting me for so long . Don’t you know how much my heart hurts? This place hurts so much . ” She raised his hand and placed it on her chest, looking oh-so-pitiful as she continued speaking . “How much more inferior am I to Pei Ge? I have everything she has . Do you want me to give you a child, too?”
At this point, the man suddenly caught a whiff of something strange from the lady’s body . The fragrance entered his nostrils and started wreaking havoc in his chest .
