“Hah! Why is it a different man again? We should really let Wen Qimo see your true colors!”

Pei Ge heard a familiar voice before she could even see the person standing outside the lift .
Only when the doors fully opened and the person walked into the lift did she identify who it was .
“Hmph! Promiscuous!”
The lady, who had stepped into the lift haughtily, wore a pair of red heels .
Pei Ge scoffed at the spiteful look on the woman’s face .
What was with this lady?
“Ge Ge, do you know her?” Fu Mingxuan asked, sensing the tension in the air . He took a glance at the lady; she seemed to be addressing Pei Ge earlier .
Pei Ge shook her head, saying, ” I don’t know her . ”
She really did not know this lady . Even though she had seen her before, and certain things had happened between them, she honestly did not know her .
Little did anyone expect that her reply would frustrate the lady .

“How dare you say that you don’t know me?! You’re really great at pretending, huh! I didn’t expect that, despite your mediocre looks, you’d have some tricks up your sleeve . The men around you keep changing!”
Pei Ge was at a loss for words when she heard this pretty lady’s vicious accusations .
She did not expect her to be so mistaken about her . Nonetheless, she did not recall doing anything to hurt her .
“Excuse me, miss . I really don’t know you . How can I claim to be acquainted with you if I don’t even know your name?” She smiled at her politely .
Her courteous behavior only highlighted the other’s unreasonableness .
“You!” She was so aggravated by her goody-two-shoes look she did not know what to say .
“Miss, please mind your attitude . ” Sizing up the lady, who seemed well off despite her lack of manners, the smile on Fu Mingxuan’s face deepened .
“Pei Ge, you’re good . Since you claim not knowing me, let’s get to know each other!” The lady collected herself and showed a wan smile as she reached out a hand to her .
“Hello . I’m Ji Lelin, and I loathe you . ”
Of course, it was the Ji family’s youngest daughter who liked Wen Qimo but went on a blind date with Ji Ziming .

Hearing the lady’s heartfelt introduction, Pei Ge took on a similar attitude .
The only difference between them was that she did not proffer her hand .
“Hello, Ji Lelin . Since you dislike me, I won’t shake your hands, lest I give you a chance to clean your hand with tissue, which you will throw away while looking disgusted . ”
The lady’s face blanched, for she really did intend to do just that . She was planning to mock her via that act, but she did not expect the latter to see through her .
As for Pei Ge, she maintained her smile, as if not noticing her expression .
Ding!
The doors parted open again . This time, it was not because someone was going to enter but because the elevator had arrived on the floor the pair had selected earlier .
“Miss Ji, we’ll get off first . ” She smiled at the lady, whose face did not look good, and bid her goodbye .
“Hmph!” Ji Lelin scoffed . “Hey, poser, you’d better be careful! That woman isn’t just any woman . She’s really good at hooking guys like you . Do you know Ji Ziming, the CEO of Ji Group? She—” She said this with disdain as she kept her eyes on him who was trailing after Pei Ge .
Before she could finish speaking, she was cut off by him, who had been silent for the most part .

“You don’t have to worry about me . I love her regardless of the kind of woman she is,” he said softly and sincerely, giving the woman the side-eye .
With his words drowning out hers, Ji Lelin’s expression turned ghastly .
It was obvious that he had antagonized her .
In truth, not just her, even Pei Ge was shocked by his words .
“Senior, yo-you…” She looked at him with hesitation .
Could she not be overthinking things before, and he truly liked her?
That was not right, though . Had he not said before that the person he liked was not her?
Just as his words were making her confused, she heard him laugh aloud .
“Pfft! Ge Ge, you didn’t take that seriously, did you?” he asked, gazing at her amusedly .
“Huh?” She blinked, full of confusion .
“Ha ha! Did you really take that seriously? I was lying to that lady to get back at her for you!” He noted the confusion on her face .
She sighed in relief when she heard his explanation .
Hu! So senior’s lying to that woman . That’s great!
“Hu! Senior, you scared me . ” She shook her head and smiled wryly . Not just that lady, even she got tricked by him earlier .
“Is the idea of me liking you that scary?” His eyes dimmed a little when he saw her looking relieved, but he kept a smile on his face .
“Of course, you’re Ziming’s close friend!” she replied without thinking, nodding her head strongly .
“Heh! It’s because of Ziming, huh…”
If… there’s no Ji Ziming between us, does it mean…
