Chapter 495
Pei Ge whiled away the rest of the afternoon lazily lying on that soft grass patch .

She watched the sky outside the window slowly turned dark as the sun set in the west . This was when she sat up and picked up the book beside her .
“Huuu!” Stretching lazily, she observed the small stream flow gently . Her mood improved considerably at the sight .
“Time to head home . ” She giggled to herself as she made her way to the living room .
Packing her things, she did not call her chauffeur or the man and just decided to leave the villa by herself .
Once she was done locking the main door to villa, she leisurely strolled out of the place while admiring the lush greenery along the way .
Although she had to walk quite a distance from the villa to the main gate on foot, she did not feel that it was tiring at all . This was because she had literally done nothing the whole day .
However, when she arrived at the taxi stand, she did not find any passing cabs .
Even worse was that no public bus available at this time of the day .
Her mouth could not stop twitching at this .
How unlucky was she not to be able to catch a transport out of such an accessible place?
She was about to call for a cab when a black Maybach parked itself before her .

Sans the need to look inside, she was sure that the driver was the annoying fellow .
“Get in . ” The dark-tinted window was wounded down, and the man’s flawless face indeed greeted her eyes .
“Oh . ” She pursed her lips and quickly sat in the passenger’s seat .
The moment she got into the car, she felt the oppressive atmosphere inside .
She shifted uncomfortably as she put on her seatbelt .
“Why didn’t you wait for me?” The man’s low and grave voice suddenly cut through the silence in the car .
“Ah?” His question caught her off guard . “You didn’t say you’re coming . ”
“…” The man did not expect her reply and, for a moment, stayed silent .
When the man did not speak, she lightly coughed and mumbled, “The transportation here is also quite convenient, so I thought of going home on my own . ”
Who knew that he would not even bother with her explanation, though?
“What do you want to eat tonight?” he asked, instead .

“…” Her mouth twitched at his abrupt change of topic . “I want to go home and eat my mom’s homecooked food . ”
“Oh . ” He merely nodded at that and then wordlessly stepped on the gas to reach her home fast .
Seeing the familiar view outside, she finally relaxed .
This annoying person is really strange today . Usually, he won’t let me off this easily when I mention about wanting to go home and eat . Why didn’t he disagree today?
It feels that his purpose here is to bring me home .
The car soon rolled into her block’s carpark .
“Thank you, Ziming . I’ll be going now . Drive slowly on your…” she trailed off . Her hand, which was releasing the seatbelt, stopped mid-action .
She blinkingly watched the man release his seatbelt as well and then asked, “What are you doing?”
“Getting down . ” He shrugged his shoulders .
“Why are you getting down?” Your house is not here .
“To have dinner,” he replied succinctly . He made it sound as if he was about to have dinner at a hotel and not at her house .

Her brain froze at that .
E-Eat dinner?! Did he mean that he’s coming to my house for dinner?!
“Why aren’t you not getting out?” he asked coldly . Done unbuckling his seatbelt, he reached for the door when he saw her still sitting there without moving .
His question brought her back to reality .
“Ziming, do you mean that you’re coming to my house to have dinner?” She widened her eyes in shock at him .
“What else if not that?” he countered .
“…” Her mouth twitched at his nonchalance . Oh, please . This is my house we are talking about! Don’t just go around inviting yourself to have dinner at my place, all right?! How thick-skinned can you get?!
“Get down . ” He seemed oblivious to the incredulity written on her face as he hopped out of the car .
Seeing him alight, she could only follow suit .
Peng! She closed the car door and then walked to his side .
“Why do you want to have dinner at my place?” This annoying person has so many places to have dinner; why does he have to do so at my place?
Plus, there are rumors of this great CEO being a picky eater . Why would he choose now not to be picky and come to my small apartment to have dinner?
He’s not running a fever, is he?
“I’m hungry,” he replied plainly . This answer reeked of falsehood .
“…” She rolled her eyes . Hungry, my foot! You are a big CEO; how can you starve to death?
This answer is clearly an excuse! Hmph!
Although it was with reluctance, she eventually still brought him home .
Pak!
“Mom, I’m back . ”
The moment she opened the door, the heady aroma of sweet potato porridge wafted into her nostrils .
She instantly guessed that her mother did not cook any fresh dishes today . Instead, the latter just boiled sweet potato porridge and heated some leftovers for dinner .
Hei hei! Let’s see if this ‘hungry’ man still wants to eat! Hmph, hmph, hmph!
