The woman’s bright red nails gently touched the side-profile of the man on the phone screen .

A familiar expression surfaced in her dark eyes .
“Ziming… I’m back… I’m finally back…” she mumbled . A sweet voice came from her red lips .
“You must be very happy…”
The woman’s lips upturned, her expression one of happiness .
However, her sweet smile quickly became twisted with jealousy .
The woman’s gaze coldly shifted to another woman’s face on the screen .
“Pei Ge…” Her red lips opened slightly . The words she spouted were cold and far from how happy she sounded earlier .
“Hello, I’ve heard a lot about you . ”
Looking at the intertwined palms of the couple on the screen, the woman bit her lower lip in anger .
“He’s mine! Now that I’m back, you can leave…” she said coldly, her gaze fixed on Pei Ge’s face .
After taking one last look at the couple in the photo, the woman hurled her phone to the floor .
Pak!
In an instant, the sleek and expensive phone broke into pieces, damaged beyond repair .

She lifted a cocktail off the table and downed it in one go .
“I, Qiao Jingyun, am back! This time, I’ll take back everything that belongs to me!”
“This one, this one, and this one . Wrap them up for me . ”
Pei Ge watched her boyfriend enter a shop selling designer clothes and choose several outfits for her without batting an eyelid .
“Okay, sir . ”
Seeing how generous Ji Ziming was, the salesclerk readily took the outfits from him .
Pei Ge came to her senses when she saw the salesclerk leave to get outfits in her size .
“You’re really fast at picking outfits; I haven’t even looked yet . ”
By right, should she not be the one shopping and picking out clothes? Why did he steal her job?
“You look good in anything . ” He told her softly when he saw that she was pouting .
“Tsk! I should still be the one doing the picking . I did attend a fashion class once, so I have the right taste in clothes, too . ” She rolled her eyes at him .
But her mutters quickly became shock .

When the salesclerk came back with the clothes the man had carefully selected for her, for some reason, she had the urge to laugh .
She turned to look at the man standing next to her and was unable to hold in her laughter further upon seeing how calm and confident he appeared .
“Pfft!”
The man’s earlobes gradually turned a light shade of pink upon hearing her laugh .
“Don’t laugh . ”
“No, I really feel like laughing . ”
She said between laughter .
This was because…
The clothes he had chosen for her had collars that went all the way up to her neck .
Although it was the middle of winter, for people like him who had access to heaters and heated amenities, thick clothes were just unnecessary .
For people in their social circle, they usually just added coats over their outfits .
Plus, that was for when they were outdoors .
If they were indoors, then the outer layer would not be worn .

Therefore, their clothes were usually rather fashionable spring or summer outfits .
As such, when she saw the closed-neck clothes he had picked out for her, his motivation in his choice became apparent to her .
In the end, looking at the man’s not-so-calm face, she did not continue teasing him and just went along with his choices obediently .
Once they were done shopping for her clothes, the man brought her to a few other shops .
After buying everything she might need, he led her to buy stuff for their parents as well .
As a result, under the jealous gazes of countless pedestrians, the two, who had come to the shopping mall practically empty-handed, left it with their hands full .
Putting everything into the car boot, the man sat in the driver’s seat and helped her buckle up .
“What do you wanna eat for dinner?” he asked .
In truth, he wanted to bring her to the garden villa they shared and spend the beginning of the year with just the two of them .
However, before he could vocalize his thoughts, she unknowingly turned him down .
“Ziming, you know that there’s only my mom at home . I should go back for dinner,” she answered, smiling at him .
“En,”he agreed, only remembering then that her family only had two members .
“You shouldn’t run around, either . Uncle and auntie are surely waiting for you home . Okay, send me back now! Tomorrow, we can eat together . ”
She smilingly put her palm over his and clenched it gently .
“Sure . ”
When he heard her words, he did not say anything more and just stepped on the gas to bring her home .
His car soon arrived at the bottom of her block .
After bringing the bags of things up to her home, he chatted with the mother-daughter pair a bit before he left their neighborhood in his car .
Without her presence in the car, he felt a little hollow inside .
In that moment, his phone rang .
He glanced at the caller ID on the screen coldly and frowned . In the end, he turned on his Bluetooth earphone and accepted the call .
“Hello . ”
“Ziming, I haven’t eaten yet . I’m really hungry; why aren’t you here yet?”
He pursed his lips when he heard the sweet voice coming from his earphone . “Jingyun, stop fooling around . ”
“I’m not fooling around . Ziming, don’t you like me anymore? Have you come to dislike me…”
