“You’d better be careful . That woman is not ordinary . ”

Ji Lelin looked at her with her clear, sincere eyes .
No matter how unwilling she was, she must admit that this woman before her did not look like the scheming kind .
Perhaps because she was attached and was about to get married, she thought that this woman was rather simple-minded .
Thus, she changed her mind about leaving immediately after warning her .
“Even though I don’t know what she has in mind, it probably has something to do with that Zhou Zhuoyang . You shouldn’t go near that guy, okay?”
Pei Ge halted her thoughts about her cousin and Qiao Jingyun and raised her eyes at the woman standing opposite her .
Seeing her high-and-mighty manner, she suddenly felt that this woman was not as bad as she made her out to be .
Even though she still had an arrogant face, she could detect kindness in her voice .
Pfft! This Miss Ji isn’t as bad as I thought . Maybe, she’s just a little awkward and arrogant .
“Okay . Thank you . I’ll watch out . ”
Her lips formed a bright smile as she thanked the other sincerely .

“Hmph! You don’t have to thank me; I’m doing this for myself . ”
When she saw this woman regard her sincerely, Ji Lelin awkwardly averted her gaze .
“You just have to stay with your man and leave my Qimo alone; that’s all . I’m out!”
After she said that, regardless of the woman’s reaction, she half ran away in her stilettos .
Pei Ge shook her head wordlessly as she watched the girl leave .
She wanted to tell her stories about Wen Qimo as thanks .
Oh, well! Next time, then .
She gently shook her head and headed back to where the group had been standing earlier .
However, probably because she had taken too long talking to that lass, only Ji Ziming was left by the time she got back .
“Eh? Where’s Qitong and the rest?” she asked, looking at the man confusedly .
“They went back already,” replied the man nonchalantly as he set his glass down upon seeing her return .

Hmph! Today was his engagement day; why would he need those unimportant people around for?
“Oh . ”
She nodded and smiled at the man standing under the light .
Actually, she had spaced out a little when she saw the man in a suit and tie sip wine expressionlessly .
His face was flawless and his eyes were cold; he even gave of an unapproachable aura, but when he set his cold eyes on her, they became warm and tender, and his features softened .
In that instant, it reminded her of a phrase .
When one looked back, only that person remained there .
“What’s wrong?” asked the man, his lips arching as he saw her gaze at him .
“N-Nothing . ” She smiled at him, hugging his arm and resting her head on it . “I was just thinking that my fiancé is too good-looking! Even I was stunned!”
Hearing her straightforward words, his earlobes turned a light pink color .
“… You’re really pretty, too . ”

After a moment’s silence, he dotingly told her that .
The two did not return to the banquet but went to the tranquil, man-made lake, instead .
Since it was nighttime, and the lake was surrounded by greenery, there was no one there .
Under the inky-blue night sky with stars and moon, everything looked beautiful .
The moon shone on the lake, creating a smattering of silver light on its surface .
The light made some parts of the lake glow, adding a romantic vibe to the scene .
Because it was early spring, besides the gentle breeze and the couple’s hushed conversation, the place was virtually quiet .
This quietness made one feel relaxed .
The two sat down on the soft grass in their suit and gown .
They cuddled before the lake while holding each other’s hands .
“Ziming, aren’t you curious what Ms . Ji told me in private?” asked the woman to the man while tilting her head .
“… What did she say?” he asked plainly . Still, it was clear from his tone and expression that he was unconcerned about it .
“Pfft! Do you even like me at all? Why do I feel that you don’t care about my matters?”
She laughed aloud and gently twisted his arm as she grumbled .
“I like you, but I don’t want to control everything you do . ”
The way he stared at her quietly made it seem as if he were regarding at a piece of treasure .
Looking at his focused gaze on her, she felt her heart skip a beat .
The man reached out and gently tucked some stray hair behind her ear .
He actually really cared about her matters be it big or small .
However, Mu Heng once told him that a couple should put a little distance between them, or else trouble would happen .
He could be nice to her and spoil her, but he could not interfere too much in her matters .
Thus, he was trying to give her breathing space .
