The holiday quickly slipped by .

As they did not have many relatives, Pei Ge’s family was not very busy during the holiday .

They merely spent a few days at home .

She planned to bring her mother on a trip since it was the holidays, but seeing the many people traveling during this period, she decided to visit a few neighboring cities with her mother .

“Ge Ge, are you still going to work outside the capital after this holiday?”

On the fourth day of this year, with only a few days left of the holiday, Zhang Manhua asked her daughter this .

“Yes, I should be . ”

She gave an uncertain reply . She wanted to keep working at the branch company in Tianjin and finished what she started, but just because she wanted it did not mean that she could .

“Oh . ” Her mother nodded, continuing to ask . “Did Xiao Ji tell you when both sides of the family will have a meal together?”

She shrugged amusedly and then innocently said, “I don’t know about this . Ziming has been busy these past few days, so I haven’t asked him about it . ”

“He should be a little busy since it’s the holiday . ” Her mother nodded a little disappointedly upon seeing that she did not know it, too, and did not ask further .

Ever since that time their relatives came and said those words, she had this anger in her heart .

Now, she only wanted her daughter to get engaged with her boyfriend fast to shut that Liu Yan’s mouth!

“Aiya! Mom, don’t think too much about this . Ziming said that he had already informed his family about it, so the meeting should happen in a few days . ”

Although she did not know what was up with her mother, she could still feel that the latter needed reassurance upon noting her anxious look .

“Alright, mom . If you are worried about me and Ziming, I will call him now to set a time, so you won’t continue overthinking this . ”

As she said that, she took out her phone and called the man under her mother’s expectant gaze .

The phone only rang for a few seconds, and a certain CEO on the other end already picked up .

“Hello, Pei Ge . ”

“Hey, Ziming . I have something to ask you . ”

She did not drag it out but went straight to the point .

“Hm? What’s the matter?” he calmly asked .

“That is…” She peered at her mother . When she saw the latter looking at her expectantly, she amusedly replied, “Which day are we meeting your parents for a meal?”

This question made the man’s mood brighten, and he softly replied . “Tomorrow, then . Are you and auntie free tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?” She glanced at her mother . Amid her mother’s furious nodding, she smiled and answered, “We’re free, of course . ”

“Okay, then . We’ll set it as tomorrow . ”

“Mhm!”

After asking this, she bid him goodbye and was about to hang up when she heard him ask, “Pei Ge, are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together . ”

“Dinner?” She blinked at his question, but before she could reply, her mother spoke first while smiling .

“Yes, yes, yes! Ge Ge, go have dinner with Xiao Ji tonight . I’m meeting someone, so don’t come bother me . ”

She shook her head wryly at this and then pouted on the phone . “Ziming, you heard it . I am free tonight . ”

“Good, then . I’ll fetch you from home tonight . ” There was a smile in his voice as he happily told her this .

Hanging up, she noted her mother’s teasing look .

“Mom, what’s with that look?” She pouted helplessly at her mother .

“He he! You’re even shy . ” Zhang Manhua chuckled, teasing her some more . “Remember to wear prettier clothes on your date with Xiao Ji tonight . ”

“Aiya, I know . ”

She chatted awhile with her mother and played with her cat a bit before going to her room . She then switched on her laptop and continued studying the lecture materials Professor William had handed out .

Although it was the holiday, she did not stop her daily lesson online .

This was because she understood that knowledge equated to power . Her success at Jiaheng last time was largely due to that professor’s help .

She did not want to keep relying on others and wanted to use her power to become a woman worthy of Ji Ziming .

She did not want to hear gossip about her relying on the man when she went around with him as a couple in the future .

Hence, she could not give up Jiaheng . In fact, she intended to finish this beautifully!

Amid her study, time quickly passed by unknowingly . The day had also turned into night .

She only emerged from her study at the ringing of her phone .

“Ah!” She widened her eyes in shock upon seeing the time displayed on her phone .

“It’s already so late . ”

She muttered in surprise when she saw that it was already past 5 PM .

“Hello! Ziming, are you here?”

She got up from her chair while answering the call and then dashed out of her room .

However, when she exited her room, she realized that her mother did not seem to be home .

“Mhm, I’m here . I’m outside your house door . ” The man’s low and clear voice traveled into her ears .

She was shocked at this .

Her mother was truly not at home!

She rushed to the door and opened it .

The moment she opened, she spotted the man in a grey windbreaker . He was standing outside her door with his back straight and his hands filled with items .

“When did you reach my place? Also, why did you bring so many things?”
