“I’m not fooling around . Ji Ziming, do you not like anymore, do you dislike me already…”

The woman’s sad and indignant voice could be heard from the phone .
“Have you fallen in love with another woman in the years that I was gone?”
In that moment, he did not know what to say in response to her question .
This woman had saved his life . She was once a bright light in his darkest and most helpless moment by rescuing him from it .
Thus, she was special to him .
“Ziming, shouldn’t I have left? Don’t you like me anymore? Have you come to dislike me? Do you, just like the others, think that I left because I gave in to your father’s condition?”
Qiao Jingyun’s voice choked when he did not reply, her voice full of sadness and indignance .
Right now, she seemed to be filled with sadness, and one could feel her emotions from her voice .
“Speak . Do you… really dislike me now?”
He sighed hopelessly when he heard her sobbing on the other end .
“No, Jingyun, don’t overthink things . ”

“You’re asking me not to overthink, but you refuse to meet me when I make dinner plans with you now that I’m back . How can I not overthink? Must I wait until you’re no longer picking up my calls before I think about it?” Noting the hesitation and helplessness in his voice, she continued acting willful .
“… I understand . Let’s talk . ”
When he perceived how agitated she was, his brows furrowed a little, but he decided to meet her, anyway .
“Okay! Hurry up! I’ve been waiting for you for so long; I’m really hungry . ”
“En…”
After agreeing, he hung up his phone . He looked up at Pei Ge’s apartment, which was still lit, and frowned .
Dim lights and elegant music – these two created a good ambiance .
In the day, this was a cafe, but at night, it was a bar .
It was nighttime .
Because it was the start of the year, the usually packed cafe bar was empty for once .

The rows of unique coffee tables were rather vacant .
Only one table had people in this bar-cafe .
However, from these two women’s talk, they did not seem to be regular customers .
“Yunyun, as your sister-in-law, I’m telling you that you must be careful of that woman called Pei Ge . Don’t belittle your enemy . You have no idea how high-profile she was acting awhile back .
“Ji Ziming would bring her along to whatever business parties he attended, and he publicly recognized her as his girlfriend . ”
A thirty-something woman in a red sweater, with not very delicate features but fashionable getup, said, “Did you know? Ji Ziming has never visited our shop again since you left . ”
She was none other than Qiao Jingyun’s sister-in-law, the manager of The Cloud coffee bar .
“Sister-in-law, can you stop talking? My head’s in a mess right now . ”
Qiao Jingyun’s slender fingers stirred the coffee before her with a silver teaspoon . Frustration was evident in her eyes .
She was actually quite pretty . She had round, doe-like eyes that were expressive . She had an exquisite face and fair skin; her features were highly sought-after right now .
This was especially because she not only looked good but also gave off a radiant aura .

Sitting next to someone like Xu Li only further juxtaposed how outstanding she was .
Seeing that her sister-in-law was getting impatient, she smiled awkwardly . “I’m just concerned for you…”
In theory, as her sister-in-law, Xu Li was an elder . Furthermore, she was much older than the former, so she needed not be so careful around this junior .
Unfortunately for her, Qiao Jingyun was no ordinary sister-in-law . Her standing in the Qiao family was not one to be ignored .
It could be said that the entire family dared not to raise their voices at her .
“He! You can’t even handle your matters, and you’re trying to help me?” She laughed coldly, her voice full of sarcasm . She was wholly unappreciative of the other’s efforts .
Looking at the mockery on her face, Xu Li thought of the women her husband kept outside, and her face turned pale .
At this time, she really hoped that her high and mighty sister-in-law would be outshone by a Cinderella from who knew where and had a taste of hurt and despair .
“Okay . Quickly leave . Ziming will be here shortly . Don’t intrude on us here . ”
The other waved her away, much like how one would shoo flies away .
Qiao Jingyun scoffed when she saw her sister-in-law leave . She smiled at the latter’s attempt to please her .
Such a woman said that she was going to help her come up with ideas; what a joke .
What kind of woman was she to need help from such a person? What a joke!
She looked at her already cold coffee and put down her teaspoon and eyed her pink nails .
“Pei Ge, right…” Her lips curled a little and a cold glint flashed across her eyes .
That woman was just an unpresentable toad which took the chance while she was overseas and not by the man’s side .
Now that I, the real girlfriend, am back, that woman should disappear .
“He he!”
She laughed when she thought of this .
Ji Ziming happened to enter the bar-café at this point and see her bright smile .
Looking at her bright and arrogant smile, he walked toward her seat .
“Ziming!”
She spotted the love of her life the instant he walked in .
Hurriedly standing up from her seat, she elegantly made her way to him with a sweet smile on her face .
