Where have I seen this man before?
Pei Ge was regarding the young man with perplexity when she felt a cold hand grab hers tightly .
She lowered her head and identified the one holding her hand to be the annoying fellow .
Raising her head to him, she caught sight of his expression .
“What’s wrong?” She took advantage of Mother Ji being on the phone to dip her head questioningly at him .
Ji Ziming lightly peered at the man beside his mother and then turned to look at the woman beside him .
“Is he really good-looking?”
A nameless emotion swirled in the depths of his eyes, which Pei Ge failed to pick up on .
“Huh?” She shot him a quizzical look .
“Why are you asking me that?” The moment this question left her mouth, her brain caught on to what he was talking about .
“Oh! Are you referring to him?” Her eyes widened .
He merely peered at her wordlessly .

The unhappiness written all over his face was pretty much an admission to that .
“Pfft! He’s pretty good-looking—” She uncontrollably burst into laughter at his grim look .
The man shot her a glare in the middle of her speech .
“—But not as good-looking as you are . ” She finished with a wide grin, seemingly unfazed by his cutting gaze .
Once she finished speaking, not only the man, even she herself was stunned .
Aiyo! The hell?! What’s gotten into you?! You actually dared to say such a thing to this annoying fellow! I think you’ve gone crazy!
She, who was breaking down inside, carefully and guiltily lifted her gaze on to him .
What she saw in his face was not anger, though . In fact, his expression was less somber than before .
Also…
She blinked in slight puzzlement at the man’s flawless profile .
I seem to detect happiness in his eyes…
I must be seeing wrongly!

Of course, the nearly suffocating her never suspected that what the man sitting beside her was feeling right now was… exuberance!
Meanwhile, all a certain great CEO could think of at the moment was: This dumb woman just praised me and said that I am better-looking than that chap! Hmph! At least, her eyesight hasn’t gone bad!
Although a certain boorish CEO’s heart was currently jumping with joy, he did not show any of it on his face .
Other than the merriment in his eyes and his slightly upturned lips, no other tell-tale signs could be seen on his face at all .
“Ge Ge, what did you just say to Ziming? Why does he look so happy?”
Of course, as one of a certain great CEO’s parents, Mother Ji could obviously see through her son .
Pei Ge was confounded by question of Mother Ji, whose phone conversation had just ended .
This annoying fellow is happy?
She turned to look at the man questioningly .
I don’t think so! He still has a cold expression . How is this the face of a happy person…
She turned away from Ji Ziming, not knowing that the moment her eyes turned away from him, Ji Ziming immediately shot his mother a look filled with complaints . This gaze only lasted a split second, though .
The middle-aged madam could not help but be amused by her son’s action .

My son did inherit his father’s awkward and proud personality . Indeed, awkwardness is in the Ji family’s blood!
“He he! Ge Ge, is the food I ordered to your liking?” She grinningly placed her sights on to her . Although she could not see her features clearly, it did not stop her from growing fonder of her . The voice of her son’s girlfriend alone gave her a pleasant feeling .
“Mhm! I like it a lot . Many of the dishes are my favorites!” As she gave the man’s mother a nod, she eyed the food on the table with exasperation . No wonder auntie didn’t ask me for input about the lunch menu . Qitong actually told her of the types of food I like to eat!
“Really? Ge Ge, don’t be polite with me . ” Mother Ji beamed at her again .
“Auntie, Sister Pei Ge is telling the truth . Most of the dishes that you ordered are her favorites! She really likes savory food . Actually, her taste is just like yours!” Qin Qitong covered her mouth and giggled .
The two other women were taken aback by her words .
“Aiya! Ge Ge’s taste is just like mine!” Mother Ji’s eyes twinkled as she turned to look at Pei Ge . Her fondness for her grew again .
Pei Ge also had a look of surprise on her face, totally not expecting for the man’s mother to order the dishes she liked by herself . She is indeed… very honest!
“He he . Auntie, I think this proves a phrase . ” The girl suddenly laughed teasingly .
“What phrase?” She looked at her curiously .
“That is… The people who don’t belong together don’t get to live together! Ha ha!” She blinked her eyes at the two women .
Unexpectedly, Mother Ji nodded at that . “Mhm . It really is true!”
“…” Pei Ge’s mouth quivered as she observed their gleeful chatter .
As for the man, his lips curled up slightly . He seemed to be in an awfully good mood .
The sumptuous lunch was, thus, concluded in a happy note . By the end of it, she gained a good understanding of Mother Ji’s similar taste to hers .
“Madam, Master is calling again…”
The four were about to move into the living room when the young man from before rushed in again with a phone in hand .
This time, though, he was holding a pink handbag .
Noting the man and the pink handbag, Pei Ge’s eyes instantly widened .
Is-Isn’t that…
“Love?!” she exclaimed .
Everyone’s eyes swiftly turned into her direction .
The man, who had just entered the room, eyed her curiously, but the moment he did so, his face showed shock .
“Y-You’re that woman who saved Madam’s Love!”
