Chapter 677
Watching the passing scenery outside the car window, the itch in her heart calmed down .

She turned her head to look at the man driving the car .
Even now, she still found all these hard to believe .
“Cough, cough, cough!”
She coughed lightly and looked at him with a smile in her eyes .
At this, Ji Ziming, whose eyes were fixed straight ahead, glanced at her briefly .
“May I ask our CEO Ji what nature of our relationship is now?”
She tried to hide her smile as she blinked at him with a serious look .
There was a saying that went: ‘Whoever falls in love first loses first . ’
She believed that this logic applied to confessions as well .
‘Whoever confesses first loses first . ’
She felt like a farmer who had successfully seized her landlord’s title . Ji Ziming had always ordered her around and treated her coldly in the past .
Now, how could this ‘farmer’ who had overthrown her landlord not be a little smug?
Ji Ziming gave her another helpless look and softly sighed . Slowly, he asked back, “What relationship do you think we have now?”
“I want to hear you say it aloud: who am I to you now?” She beamed at him, seemingly not planning to let the matter rest as long as she did not get an answer from him .

His inability to deal with her now frustrated him a little; at the same time, he was very happy with the way she ‘showed no respect for someone above her station . ’
He felt as if she were acting cutesy toward him, which was extremely adorable .
Mhm . You can say that ‘it takes two to tango’ .
“You are now my girlfriend . ”
With a light smile on his lips, he softly said that .
“Who do ‘my’ and ‘you’ refer?”
Perhaps due to too much stimulation today, she revealed a far more childish side of her .
“You, Pei Ge, are my, Ji Ziming’s, girlfriend . ”
He gave her a helpless look filled with gentleness and doting .
“Pfft!”
His words made her smile wider .
“So, is our contract now void?”
“No, that contract isn’t void . ” His eyebrows twitched slightly, yet his lips still held a light smile .
“Ah? Not void?”

This pricked her .
“I’m already your girlfriend, so why hasn’t it become void?! When will it ever be annulled?!”
Her agitated reaction made him burst out laughing .
He had truly not expected that, after confessing to this stupid woman beside him, she would become dumber and… cuter .
“Stupid woman, our contract has just started . ”
The traffic light turned red, and the car stopped .
He turned to look into her eyes with deep affection .
“I think that, from here on, we should amend that contract . ”
Pound, pound!
Her eyes widened at him . Clearly, this man’s charms were bewitching her at every moment .
“From here on, you can only belong to me, stupid woman . ”
With that, he leaned to her and, as if facing an immeasurable and priceless treasure, planted a soft kiss on her forehead .
The moist and cold touch on her forehead did not help her recover; rather, it made her dazedness even worse .
Her dazed and silly look only made the smile in his eyes grow gentler .

A minute or two passed, and the traffic light turned green, so he resumed driving . Only then did she return to herself . Suddenly, her phone started ringing .
With a slight flush, she fished it out from her bag .
“Hello . ”
As this was a foreign number, she politely answered the call .
Who knew that she would be totally stunned when she heard the person’s words?
“Hello, are you the family of our patient, Zhang Manhua?”
Patient? Zhang Manhua?
“I-I am! She’s my mother . Did something happen to her?” she frantically asked .
She had just talked to her mother on the phone the other day; why did she suddenly become a hospital patient today?
“Oh, this miss, please relax . Your mother isn’t seriously ill . She just caught a fever…”
Although the nurse calling explained in detail that her mother was not gravely ill, she still felt immensely worried .
“What’s wrong?”
He noticed that her worried look and asked her concernedly .
“My mom got a fever and is now in the hospital . ” She pursed her lips with a panicky look .
“Don’t worry; we’ll reach the capital in half an hour . ”
As he said that, the car’s speedometer shot upward .
To begin with, they were already on their way to the capital, so they were truly not far from their destination .
“Mhm . ” She nodded but still felt worried .
“Other than a fever, is auntie okay?” he pressed on concernedly, flooring the accelerator .
“That nurse said that my mom only has a fever and no other illness . Luckily, before she fainted, she managed to call for an ambulance, or else I really don’t know…”
Her hands balled up into tight fists .
Noting the self-deprecating look on her face, he lifted his right hand away from the steering wheel and gently held hers .
“This is just an accident . It’s not your fault . ”
“Mhm…” she softly hummed in reply .
“How about this: after the New Year, don’t go back to Tianjin and just accompany me and auntie in the capital?” he suggested, still holding her hand .
“No, I haven’t—”
She moved to reject his suggestion, but before she could do so, he interrupted her .
“There’s nothing that can’t be done . I’ll inform my dad on my end . ”
The hand that held hers tightened as he looked at her resolutely .
“I know all about the changes you’ve made at Jiaheng . You’ve already done well, so regarding my father’s task, you’ve long passed it . Don’t think too much about this now . ”
