“Ziming, you’re back! My mom called me earlier . She said that we made it to the news again, but it’s not positive this time…”
Pei Ge pouted with a glum look .
“Say; we’re not celebrities, but why does everyone keep coming at us?”
She was especially glum . Those posts and articles about her before were positive .
Even though she thought that it was a little strange, she did not have any negative feelings about the comments .
Right now…
She did a quick search online after her phone conversation with her mom and saw a lot of negative comments about her .
The comments made her feel terrible .
The man perceived what she was feeling from her tone of voice and walked over to her side to put a comforting hand on her shoulder .
“Don’t worry . Soon, this matter won’t bother you further . ”
His deep voice, which was pleasing to the ears, resonated inside her and eased her frustration .
“It’s fine . I can just not read the comments online,” she muttered softly . Raising her head, she looked at the man standing by her side .
“I was just grumbling a little to you . It’s nothing serious, really . ” She began to comfort him, instead .
The man patted her shoulder confidently still and said plainly while smiling, “Trust me . ”
His words made her feel safe . Instinctively, she nodded .
Ji Ziming patted her head with a smile and then sat opposite her at the table again .
“Does my cooking taste good?”
Pei Ge nodded seriously at the man’s question, tossing her worries from earlier aside .
“En, en, en! It’s amazing! Even though I’ve never tried that eatery’s dish, I think that your version of it is the best!”
“Have more of it if it’s tasty . ”
As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and refilled up her empty bowl with food .
“Ah! I can’t eat anymore! I’ve eaten a lot already! It’s harder to digest food if I eat this much for dinner . They’ll all turn into fats and I’ll get fat!” said Pei Ge while shaking her head .
“Haven’t I told you that I like you slightly chubby? You don’t need to lose weight . ” He had a serious expression as he pushed the food toward the woman .
“No . I hafta lose some weight even if you like me slightly chubby . Lily and Xiaoyu have already said that I must maintain a fit body as your wife . ”
She did not want her life with him to be all about wearing makeup and getting a makeover, especially after the unpleasant comments about her on the net .
They made her want to lose more weight and become skinnier .
If she were skinny right now, those netizens would not say that she was not good enough for him .
They would not say that he was blind, too .
Compared to getting criticized herself, she was more afraid of him getting criticized because of her .
“Pei Ge, I’ve said it before; you don’t have to bother yourself with the opinions of others . Just focus on me . ”
He knitted his brows when he noted how adamant she was .
The woman pursed her lips firmly together when she saw the man frown .
“Okay, I get it . I won’t go on a diet anymore,” she said, seemingly complying to his will . Her expression was a little helpless .
“Mhm . ” He nodded and finally relaxed his frown .
What he did not know was that the woman agreed to it on the surface only . Behind his back…
“Lily, help, help! Ziming won’t let me go on a diet; how do I go about doing it?”
After dinner, Pei Ge hid herself into the spacious bathroom of the presidential suite .
“Ah? Mr . Ji won’t let you go on a diet? That’s tough . The usual, healthy, and efficient ways to lose weight often depend on healthy, nutritional meals, and exercise . If your fiancé won’t let you lose weight… it’s quite tough for you to do it . ”
She felt troubled when she heard the stylist’s words .
“Then, what do I do? I really want to lose twenty pounds before the wedding . ”
“Er… There’s really nothing I can do to help you . If you can’t lose weight or go on a diet, then there’s nothing I can do,” replied the stylist, his voice filled with helplessness .
“Are there any diet pills that can let me lose weight secretly?”
Just as she was all out of ideas, and she was feeling desperate, a thought suddenly came to her .
“Lass, even though highly potent slimming pills exist, they carry side effects . ”
“Did you see what the netizens were saying about me and Ziming earlier?” she asked after she took in a deep breath .
“…” The stylist, who was trying to dissuade her, fell silent .
“Lily, I’m begging you . ”
“Fine, fine . I can’t stand you! I get it; I’ll get you the most potent diet pills that many ladies in the circle have been taking recently . ”
“I knew you’d have a way! I love you so much!”
“… I can’t stand you . ”
As Pei Ge chatted happily with Lily on the phone, unbeknown to her, her phone line was being tapped .
“Miss Qiao, do you think I’m worth the price now?”
Under the yellow light, a man in casual back clothes stared greedily at the woman sitting behind the work desk .
The study looked rather exquisite with all the white lilies decorating it, and the work desk, which was big enough to double as a bed, made a striking contrast to this with its dark color .
Qiao Jingyun removed the earphone from her ear, her eyes icy cold . She raised her brow and sneered .
“Worth it . Too worth it . Not only are you worth the price, I’m giving you a bonus . You did well this time . ”
