“I just saw a belle run out from this room . Ze, ze, ze, you really don’t know how to appreciate a beauty . ”

The person who had entered without permission was none other than his childhood friend, Mu Heng .
Ji Ziming cocked a brow slightly at his positively beaming friend, who had just unhurriedly taken a seat opposite his .
“Why are you here?” he asked coldly .
“I am, of course, here for dinner! FYI, this place doesn’t just serve our CEO Ji; others can dine in here, too . ” Mu Heng chuckled as he helped himself to a cup of tea from the pot on the table .
“Really?” He eyed his Casanova friend but did not bother pursuing the matter .
His friend did not even enjoy dining in here . Coincidence? No way!
“Alright . I was actually here to watch the drama unfold between you and Little Chili . ” Mu Heng grinningly admitted his true intention .
He shot him a cold look but did not speak .
“Tsk . Too bad . It seems that… Little Chili stood you up . ” Mu Heng was able to guess this easily just from his gloomy look .

Listening to his best friend’s merciless words, his cold stare intensified .
“Alright, Ziming, don’t be angry . ” Mu Heng chuckled and moved to sit next to him .
“Since Little Chili isn’t around, it’s just the right time for us, brothers, to catch up . ”
“Hmph!” he lightly harrumphed . Although he did not say anything, the look on his face was enough to express what was on his mind . His look seemed to say, ‘We have nothing to catch up, and I am not in the mood to talk!’
Choosing to ignore his deterrent look, Mu Heng grinningly said, “News of you and Little Chili has spread in our circle . There are even rumors saying you have finally met your true love! Plus, Uncle and Auntie seem to have stopped arranging blind dates for you . ”
The smile on Mu Heng’s face grew wider once he saw his friend’s grim look fading a little .
“Still, I think Little Chili doesn’t care much for you . Otherwise, she wouldn’t let you sit here all by your lonesome self . ”
Ji Ziming’s face fell again at his words .
That dumb woman really did not seem to care for him . If she did, why would she hang up on him over a dish of sweet and sour pork tenderloin?!

A particularly respectable CEO, whose call had been dropped by Pei Ge, felt really defeated by that dish today .
“Ziming, tell me; why is it that, despite your exceptional features, you are still unsuccessful with Little Chili?” He chortled as his childhood friend’s face become gloomier by the second .
Ze, ze, ze, that Little Chili is indeed my best friend’s kryptonite!
Just look at him; since when did someone affect his mood to such a degree?
“Shut up . ” Ji Ziming’s forehead folded tightly at his teasing look .
Mu Heng sniggered when he perceived his friend’s increasing ire .
“But since you haven’t wooed a girl before, it’s normal for you to be inexperienced . ”
“…” All this particular CEO, who had not wooed a girl before, could think of was how to shut his best friend’s mouth .
“Actually, it’s a piece of cake, even for someone like you, to woo a girl . ”

Really?
He might have a poker face, but Ji Ziming was actually all ears to his friend .
How could it possibly be easy for him to woo a girl?
That dumb woman did not seem to like him after all this time!
“You are handsome, wealthy, capable, and, most of all, a responsible boss of a company at your age . With such top-notch qualities, you are just like the lead male in a novel – the prince in a fairy tale! Many women are bound to feel very impressed with you and even give you a whopping 9 or even a perfect 10 in the hot-o-meter!” Mu Heng blabbered on .
If not for his voice, he would definitely be mistaken for a matchmaker who was trying to sell his service!
“…” Really? Ji Ziming was unconvinced .
That woman had been unimpressed with him since the day they met .
Even when she knew that he was a company CEO, she completely avoided him as if she were afraid of having any involvement with him .
Even now, she was still behaving like that .
“Ke, ke, ke!” Mu Heng choked on the dubious look on his face . “Little Chili is certainly an oddball! Still, it’s precisely because she’s different that she caught your attention, right? Simply put, Ziming, you are actually a masochist!”
Otherwise, why would you fall for that Little Chili who is not the least bit sweet at all?
“…” Ke, ke . A certain big boss sneered in his heart as he gave his playboy friend a stern look .
“Okay, okay . I take back my words . ” Mu Heng shuddered at his icy glare .
“Actually, you like Little Chili because of her one-of-kind charisma . In fact, if I didn’t know that you are into Little Chili, I would take action long ago . I’m still quite taken…” He trailed off when he felt his friend’s murderous eyes on him and swallowed back his words .
Aiya! My tongue slipped! How could I say such stuff before this possessive and petty friend of mine? I’m truly courting death for daring to say that!
“Go straight to the point . ” Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes threateningly at him as he thought to himself, This childhood friend of mine appears to have a lot of free time in his hands…
Chills ran down Mu Heng’s spine; he suddenly had a bad feeling . This guy is the type to bear grudges . Is he thinking of retaliating against me?
Just as fear overwhelmed him, his friend reiterated in a cold voice, “Go straight to the point . ”
“O-oh, oh, yes!” Mu Heng pulled himself together under his tyrannical gaze and blurted out, “The way to a woman’s heart is through her stomach . ”
