Pei Ge had just picked up the phone when she heard Wen Qimo’s clear and gentle voice .
However, his words caused her mouth to twitch .
What ridiculous thing is ‘my respectable dear girlfriend’?!
“… This weekend?” She frowned .
“Yes, yes, this weekend . ”
“I can’t; I’ve already made plans,” she rejected him firmly .
You’ve got to be kidding me . My best friend is here in the country, so why would I waste my precious time with her on a ‘date’ with you?
“Ge Ge, I beg of you . Tomorrow’s date is very important to me . Didn’t you say that you will be my girlfriend? One must never make empty promises . ”
She was helpless at his words . “I’m really not free . My best friend specially came to the country from abroad to visit me, so I have to accompany her this weekend . ”
For a long time, she received no response from him, and just as she was thinking that he had thrown away his phone in a fit of anger, his voice came through the line again .
“How about you bring your best friend along? Our date won’t take up too much time . Just help me this one time; this is really important to me,” he pleaded softly .

She pondered on it seriously and eventually nodded in acquiescence . “Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow, then . ”
“Really? Great! Ge Ge, thank you so much! I’ll text you the address; remember to wear something nice . ”
“I know; alright, I’ll hang up now . ”
After bidding him goodbye, she hung up the phone .
However, the moment she hung up the phone, she found that Qin Qitong and Pan Xinlei were staring intently at her .
“What’s wrong? Why are you guys staring at me?” She blinked and eyed the two curiously .
“Were you just on the phone with your boyfriend?” Pan Xinlei asked tentatively .
Qin Qitong, who knew that she had a boyfriend, was even more certain .
“Ha ha! It must be her boyfriend!”
Under their intense gazes, she could only nod helplessly . “Yes . ”
“Hmph! Sister Pei Ge only has eyes for her boyfriend and not her friends! You said you’re not free this weekend when Sister Xinlei and I asked you out, yet you have the time when it’s your boyfriend doing the asking; how bias!” She pouted unhappily .

Pei Ge’s forehead creased at her lamentation .
I really don’t wish to go!
Chatting for a while longer in the sun, she eventually returned to the office .
Once she stepped into the office, she was surprised to find the CEO’s office’s door to be open .
She frowned and looked at the wooden door .
Is that annoying person still in the office?
With this question in mind, her eyes could not resist shifting toward his office .
Just as she was determining if he was still inside, she heard his voice come from the room .
“Mom, I’m at work right now; let’s talk after . ”
Pei Ge was slightly stunned by his words, and she recalled Qin Qitong’s news about him going on a possible blind date this weekend .
Could it be that he did not want to go on the blind date, so he sounded a little frustrated while on the phone?

Just as she was pondering on all this, he walked out of the door to the CEO’s office with a sullen face .
She jumped in surprise at his sudden appearance and hastily retracted her gaze by lowering her head and fixing her eyes on the files before her .
How could he not notice her hasty actions? He glanced at her with slight displeasure as his footsteps faltered a little before continuing on his way .
She lifted her head once she had judged that he was quite a distant away and saw that the office was now empty except for her, and, for some reason, her heart felt empty, too .
“What?! You are bringing me to go on a date with your gay boyfriend?!”
When Pei Ge reached home after work, she quickly informed Tang Xiaoyu of her date with Wen Qimo . However, her reaction was unexpectedly huge .
“Shhh! Can you keep it down? Don’t let my mom hear you . ” She shot her a look and said this in a hushed voice .
Her best friend’s hands flew to her mouth to cover it as she nodded .
“The date won’t take too long . Why don’t you wait at a nearby café and have a cup of tea?” she suggested .
“Ha ha, no need; I’ll just go with you . ” She let out a laugh but quickly stifled it with her hands .
“… We can’t share a table with you . I have to put on a show for this date; you’d better not blindly follow me and make a scene,” she warned upon catching the glimmer of light in her eyes .
“Relax, I won’t do anything . I will sit far away . ” She smiled in assurance outwardly, yet she was excitedly exclaiming inwardly .
How can I skip this exciting date?!
As her best friend, how could she not see through her intentions? She shook her head helplessly .
“Alright, it’s up to you . ”
For some reason, she felt that tomorrow’s event would bring about an inauspicious feeling .
“Ge Ge, where are we going for tomorrow’s date?
“Ge Ge, if you are going on a date tomorrow, you have to wear something nice . Come; let’s choose your battle clothes tonight!”
While she was being pestered by an excited childhood friend on her side, a certain, respectable CEO was not doing any better on his side .
“Ha ha ha! I really didn’t expect for the formidable CEO Ji to have a day when he will be forced to go on a blind date by his family! This really made my day!”
Artificial lights shone gently on the room as Mu Heng laughed aloud by his best friend’s side .
With a sullen face, Ji Ziming tasted the red wine in his glass; his surrounding grew stormier as he emitted a murderous aura .
