Still, even though it was over, the afternoon banquet had just begun . Previously, the guests only had light snacks to keep them sated .
With the ceremony over, the main course was served .
Because the engagement party was held in an open area, just like in other parties, the banquet was buffet-style .
Even though it was a buffet, the dishes were anything but ordinary .
“Mm! Delicious!”
Pei Ge said aloud after she took a bite of the steak the man had cut for her .
God knew how much energy an engagement party took!
She had breakfast before eight o’clock in the morning . By now, the food had been long digested by her system!
“Eat more if you like it . ”
As he spoke, Ji Ziming put another piece of steak on her plate .
“I do like it, but I have to walk around just to eat . ” She stared at all the delicious food with pursed lips .
“When we get married, we won’t have this kind of buffet,” said the man after hearing her words .
“Mhm-kay!”
She nodded with a smile .
Both sides’ parents felt the corners of their lips twitch as they watched the two interact .

Looking at the way they interacted, they could predict who was the decision-maker in the house!
They were just engaged and not married yet, but his slave-to-his-wife tendencies were already showing!
The parents of both parties exchanged glances and smiled .
They were clearly quite amused by his tendencies!
“Oh, right . Manhua, why didn’t our Ge Ge have her second uncle give her away earlier?”
Madam Ji suddenly posed the question that she had had since earlier .
Everything was arranged beforehand, so when she saw Pei Ge walk down the aisle alone, she got a scare . She thought that something had gone wrong, but she found out that it was because of her .
” Sigh …” Since they were going to be in-law soon, Zhang Manhua did not keep them in the dark . She briefly summarized the relationship dynamic between their family and Pei Zhenghui’s family .
Madam Ji’s eyes widened after she heard her explanation . She then looked at her future daughter-in-law guiltily .
“Ge Ge, I’m to be blamed for this; I didn’t understand things clearly before I…”
Pei Ge, who was happily eating away, hurriedly swallowed her food and shook her head after she heard her apology .
“Auntie, how can you be blamed for it? I was afraid that you’d be mad at me . ” She looked at her with a smile . “It’s fine as long as you’re not upset with me . ”
Looking at her shy behavior, Madam Ji burst out laughing .
“Oh! Even though I won’t get mad at you for this, I’m gonna get mad at you for something else . ”
When she heard that, Pei Ge’s eyes widened in shock .

“D-Did I anger you in any other way?” she asked softly, looking at her in confusion .
“Yes . ” The older woman pulled a straight face and looked at her with feigned anger .
Looking at how she had retracted her smile, Pei Ge got increasingly nervous .
She tried figuring out what she had done to anger his mom .
“This lass, you’re already engaged with my son, but you’re still calling me auntie . ”
When she saw that she was still nervous, Madam Ji shook her head and held her hand .
“Huh?”
The latter stared at her in shock .
“Why are you still calling me auntie? From now on, you should call me mom . ”
After she spoke, not just her, even Zhang Manhua began laughing out loud .
“Ha ha! Like this, Xiao Ji has to call me mom, too . ”
Pei Ge finally understood what was going on when she saw both mothers laughing heartily .
The corners of her lips upturned a little and she looked at the man silently .
She wanted to see what kind of reaction the annoying fellow would have .
Who knew that this usually cold man with a seemingly low-EQ would—

“Mom,” said the man to Zhang Manhua without hesitation .
His reaction made both mothers that were laughing moments ago pause .
Aye? Aye? Huh?! Aye, aye, aye?!
The pair of mother and daughter’s eyes widened, glued to the man .
He called her mom so easily… That was a little too fast! She was not mentally prepared yet!
Looking at his woman’s dazed look, his lips upturned a little . He raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead .
“It’s your turn . ”
The intimacy of his tone and action made even his mother jealous .
Pei Ge covered her head dazedly and nodded . “Oh . ”
She then diverted her gaze from him to his mother .
In that moment, she was not as calm as he was . Her face was bright red like an apple .
“M-Mom…”
Her voice was akin to the buzzing of a mosquito .
Nonetheless, even though she spoke rather softly, Madam Ji did not make things difficult for her and acknowledged her call with a face full of smiles .
“Yes, my good daughter-in-law!”
When she heard that, a bright smile blossomed on Pei Ge’s face .
In an instant, the atmosphere between the two families became even more harmonious .
It was as if they had become one big family because of the two’s address of the mothers .
“Cough!”
Suddenly, Mister Ji, who had been silent this whole time, coughed heavily .
This was when she realized that he was staring at her .
Immediately, she became a little nervous .
She was still a little afraid of his dad!
The man’s mom dispelled this nervousness in an instant, though .
“He he . Ge Ge, ignore him . This awkward old man just wants you to call him dad! Let’s ignore him!”
