The moment they entered the main hall, they saw Madam Ji waiting for them in one of the lounge chairs .
“Manhua, Ge Ge, you’re here . ”
The woman stood up once she saw them and approached .
“Ohhh! My soon-to-be daughter-in-law looks especially pretty today!”
She grasped a pair of hands with a smile, praising the owner of those hands sincerely .
“Er…”
Pei Ge blinked at the smiling woman and touched her nose . “Er… Auntie, you’ve got the wrong person…”
As she watched the woman grab her mother’s hands, she did not know whether to laugh or cry…
Okay, fine . The image was really funny .
Zhang Manhua stared confusedly at the other woman and started coughing lightly in exasperation .
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Thereafter, she casually retrieved her hands from the other woman’s grasp .

Before she could remove them completely, the other grabbed them tightly again and then reached out for Pei Ge’s hand .
“Ha ha! Of course, I know that you’re Manhua . I was just kidding with you two . Got shocked by this, huh?”
Madam Ji stared at this mother-daughter pair happily . A smug was smile on her face once she got away with her prank .
Zhang Manhua: My in-law is quite the joker!
Pei Ge: Er… Auntie, I don’t feel like laughing anymore after your explanation .
As the three chatted, Lily appeared in the lobby after he learned of their arrival .
“Ge Ge, don’t stand and chat in the lobby anymore . Hurry and follow me! Today is one of the most important days in your life . Our time is tight!”
He hurriedly pulled her into the makeup room the moment he arrived .
What she saw first were the three dresses that she had worn when taking the engagement photos .
“My dear lady, stop looking around . We’re running tight on time . Your engagement party begins at ten this morning . You should be at the venue by eleven . It’s almost eight, so that only leaves us with barely enough time . ”
He turned her head back when he saw her turning to look at the dresses .
“Do we really need much time for makeup?” The usual styling sessions did not take that long .

She looked confusedly at him .
“Come on; today is your engagement party! This is different from the usual events . Of course, I gotta spend more time . Okay . From now on, you close your eyes and take orders from me . ”
After he was done speaking, he directed his assistants around and got busy .
From the couch, both mothers watched the stylist get her ready with a smile .
The two looked really cozy as they chatted about the engagement party .
” Sigh … That silly boy of mine probably didn’t sleep well last night . ”
“Really? That silly girl of mine slept especially well last night . ”
“That silly son of mine probably isn’t even in the mood for work . ”
“He he! My silly daughter is really nervous about it, too . ”
At this time, the other person in question, Ji Ziming was, as his mother predicted, not in the mood to work .
If the negotiations were not crucial to the company, and both the dates and person in charge could not be changed, he would already be beside his woman .
He was already with her in mind, of course .

Pak!
The slamming of a folder on the table of the conference room silenced the people debating about the ongoing negotiation .
Several people in the room, dressed in business suits, looked at the man at the center seat .
Under their burning gazes, he coldly stared back at everyone in the room .
“The final proposal is as you see . If you’re not okay with it, then there’s no need to waste one another’s time . ”
He then raised his hand and looked at the limited-edition Patek Phillipe watch on his wrist .
“My time is really precious . ” Especially today .
The atmosphere in the conference room took a turn for the worse in that instant .
Everyone was stunned by his behavior .
Those who had prepared themselves for a long negotiation and debate felt unsure of how they should react to his direct behavior .
For the first time since the meeting began, there was complete silence in the room .
When he saw that no one was speaking, he raised his hand and loosened his tie .
His dark eyes once more swept across everyone in the room coldly before he stood up from his seat .
“I’ll be taking my leave first . ”
He stared coldly at these Caucasians and said in his frosty voice .
Everyone was shocked by the way he decisively upped and left the conference room .
They did not expect the CEO of this company to behave in an outlandish manner at such an important conference .
The people that he was originally negotiating with thought that the famous CEO was playing tricks with them, but…
“Mr . Smith, I’m so sorry . Our boss is getting engaged today . My sincere apologies . ”
