The night was quiet and the temperature outside was just right .
A full moon hung brightly in this indigo sky sprinkled with stars .
The bright and beautiful moonbeams shone on a pair standing in an open clearing .
“Ziming, don’t mind my mom’s words . ”
Pei Ge looked up at the man’s flawless features, which were clearly illuminated by the silver moon .
Under the moonlight, the man seemed more noble and otherworldly . He had a mighty aura that rejected just anyone from coming near .
This outstanding man is mine . He… belongs to me…
As this thought crossed her mind, her lips turned up into a happy smile .
“Don’t mind it?”
The man raised an eyebrow at this . “Don’t you want to marry me earlier?”
“Ugh…” She blinked at this and peeked at him, mumbling, “Haven’t I married you long ago? We even got our marriage certificates…”
Her voice was too soft this time, though . Coincidentally, there were a few passersby talking loudly .
Hence, he did not catch her words .
“What did you say?”
He frowned in confusion and looked at her .
“Nothing, nothing . I was just saying that I indeed wanna marry you earlier . ” She grinned and hooked her arms through him, feeling the sweetness from her heart while saying this .
Her sweet smile made him involuntarily smile, too .
“Mhm . ”
He hummed in satisfaction and thought that he might as well change the engagement directly to marriage .
After sending her boyfriend off, she returned home .
The moment she stepped into the house, she was dragged into the living room by her mother .
“Daughter, tell mom honestly; how far have you progressed with Xiao Ji?”
For an instant, she did not get what her mother meant, but noting how the latter resembled someone interrogating a criminal, she cluelessly and confusedly asked, “Mom, what are you saying? What do you mean by that?”
“You child, what else can progress between a man and a woman?”
Her mother lightly patted her arm and rolled her eyes at her .
“Huh? We’ve progressed to the point of getting married . ”
She blinked at her mother, still not getting what the latter was referring .
Seeing that her daughter was still lost, Zhang Manhua decided to just say it upfront . “I am asking if you guys slept together to do acts result in a life when you guys lived together . ”
“…” Pei Ge’s cheeks immediately burned just as her mother finished speaking .
Only then did she get what her mother was asking about .
“N-No! Aish, mom! What are you saying?” She pouted, feeling very shy . What about resulting in a life!
When did mom even learn these trendy terms? This is so scary!
“You didn’t, huh…” Zhang Manhua sighed in relief . Still, inwardly, she felt a little disappointed .
“Of course, we didn’t . Weren’t you the one who told me to love myself more? Of course, I’ll properly follow your order!” Pei Ge boasted shamelessly .
“Alright, alright! Mom, you should go to sleep . I’m a little sleepy as well, so I’ll go wash up and sleep first!”
With this, she yawningly made her way to the washroom .
Once she was done washing up, she bid her mother good night and went to her room .
In her room, she opened the drawer with lock .
Click!
From between a book’s pages in the drawer, she fished out a red booklet .
This red booklet was none other than her and Ji Ziming’s marriage certificate .
She flipped open this marriage certificate and a smile appeared on her lips .
“Seriously… Aren’t we already married? Is there any sense in asking me if I wanna marry you earlier?”
She lightly caressed their marriage photo; the smile on her face seemed to have been dipped in honey .
Thinking about it now, we truly are a quarrelsome couple .
Who would’ve thought that we would get married before we even dated?
“Pfft!” She broke into a laugh before muttering, “Doesn’t this mean that we are fated?”
On this end, she was holding a marriage certificate with a silly smile .
On another end, a woman was looking gloomy and fierce .
That was because she had just learned from Sister Yun that the man had told his mother to skip the engagement and directly marry him with Pei Ge .
“Miss Qiao, I don’t know what poison that vixen fed young master, but he actually wants to marry her fast!”
Her expression turned uglier upon hearing this .
While she had expected the two to love each other deeply, she had not expected them to progress this fast!
No way! I can’t let that happen! I must quicken the pace of my plans!
“Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao? Are you still listening?”
“Yes, I’m listening . Thank you, Sister Yun, but… if Ziming truly likes Miss Pei that much, I can only give up . After all, I only hope for him to be happy . ”
She chuckled helplessly on the phone .
“That can’t do! That woman won’t be able to bring young master happiness! Miss Qiao, you shouldn’t give up . If not, our young master will truly end up in that woman’s hands!”
“What else can I do… he likes her to the point that he wants to marry her already . I… No matter how much I like him, it is useless…”
Although her tone sounded gloomy and lost like a child, her eyes actually shone darkly and viciously .
Pei Ge, I won’t let you marry Ji Ziming just like that! Only I, Qiao Jingyun, am fit to be beside him and to be the Ji family’s mistress!
“Miss Qiao, don’t worry . You still have me…”
