"Nope . Pei Ge is really nice; it's me who prefers it like this . "
Listening to his reply, Qiao Jingyun's hands balled up into tight fists .
Pei Ge!
She suppressed her fury as she smiled at him .
"I realized that I'm very envious of your girlfriend! I never imagined that you'd act like this when in a relationship!"
"Act like what?" Her words piqued the man's curiosity .
"Wuuu!" She kept her silence for a moment and smiled . "Just like what are written in those novels, you're a loyal dog or a crazy wife protector!"
Ji Ziming was taken aback by those descriptions she had just mentioned .
Loyal dog? Crazy wife protector? What in the world are those? he muttered to himself . However, he did not feel repulsed by those descriptions .
"That's why I'm truly envious of your girlfriend, so I'm gonna find myself a boyfriend who treats his girlfriend well, too!"
She remarked enviously without any hint of jealousy . It was as though she did not fancy him and merely treated him as her best friend and older brother .
When he saw her action, he started wondering if she was no longer interested in him .

Am I being too cautious?
Come to think of it; she's been in New York all these years . Surely, she encountered many types of people . She probably no longer…
When she saw that the man had grown pensive, her lips could not help but curl up slightly, and victory flashed past her eyes .
Indeed, he had been fooled by her pretense .
He he! She was not stupid . She did that to give him the impression that she was no longer into him . Only by doing so would she be able to stay by his side safely .
This was because she knew that he might be cold to people, but as long as he fell for someone, he would love that woman with his everything .
From then on, he would never look at any other women . Only the woman whom he loved would be on his mind .
He could even have no regard for others for fear that the woman in his heart would misunderstand .
In the past, she thought that she was destined to be that woman as long as she stayed by his side and kept a close watch on him . Sooner or later, this man would become hers .
Unexpectedly, in the process of doing so, she was overseas by his father . She left his side and went to the opposite end of the globe… This created a chance for Pei Ge to disrupt her plans .
This is really… too d*mn much!
Still, it's not too late . As long as that woman doesn't officially enter the Ji family, I still have a chance .
"Ahhh! I wanna be in a relationship all of a sudden . I want one that is just like yours and Pei Ge's!"

With a longing expression, she mumbled that enviously as she leaned against the seat .
The man's brows moved slightly when he saw from the rearview mirror that she sincerely held a yearning expression .
While they were in the car heading to his family's villa, Pei Ge was also in a car heading to a five-star hotel in Tianjin .
The woman leaned on the window and stared out at the luminous nightscape . At the moment, she was feeling ill at ease .
The meeting tonight was a very important one .
It could even be said that this meeting would determine whether she could leave Jiaheng smoothly or not .
With that being said, she still had some confidence in Jiaheng . In fact, given the real estate company's capabilities, they could have initially clinched this project .
However…
The other party's attitude changed drastically after Zhou Real Estate came into the picture .
Comparing Jiaheng and Zhou, there was indeed some difference .
The latter was one of the top real-estate companies in the capital, whereas the former had a long way to go before reaching the top .
"Boss, we are here . "

The chauffeur's words jolted her out of her reverie .
Looking at the majestic building outside the window, she took a deep, calming breath as she gathered her wits .
"Mhm . "
The battle begins now!
She opened the door and alighted from the car .
Before reaching the hotel, Li Xueman, a capable beauty from her company's public relations department, smilingly met her .
"Boss, I feel that you might need to drink some alcohol today!"
The lady cheerfully and affectionately hooked her arm through hers .
As the decision-maker of the company, more or less, Pei Ge was expected to attend some meetings .
In the past, she always had this capable employee, with her high alcohol tolerance, drink on her behalf . Today, however, she understood that she must drink .
"Come on, boss . Let's have some hangover pills first so we won't get drunk easily later . "
Her subordinate smiled and handed her some pills .
Nodding her head, she accepted the pills . She was about to swallow them without water when her subordinate timely gave her a bottle of mineral water from the bag .
"Boss, later on, you shouldn't drink alcohol . When others are not looking, you can pretend to be wiping your mouth and then spit the alcohol into the tissue…"
Her subordinate confided, wrapping her hand around hers .
It was obvious that this subordinate was worried about her .
She broke into a smile as she listened attentively to Li Xueman's advice .
They two then entered the five-star hotel; inside, a waiter guided them to a luxurious private room .
When the door to the private room was opened, she easily spotted Zhou Zhuoyang among the others .
"Yo, CFO Pei is here!"
"CFO Pei you're late! You should drink one cup as punishment!"
Her appearance brought a commotion in the private room .
"Pei Ge?!"
Right at this moment, the man spotted her, too . He stared at her in utter disbelief as though he had come across a ghost .
His gaze was mixed with a little surprise .
