“Oh, no, it’s bad, CEO Ji! That jerk, Chen Zhengchu, has proposed to Miss Pei Ge!”
Ji Ziming, who was driving, stepped on the brakes the moment he heard this from his bluetooth headset.
Screech! His sudden braking caused the car behind him to press on the emergency brake.
Luckily, there was a speed limit on this road, and only two or three cars were behind him, so his traffic violation did not cause any accident.
“What did you say?!” His usual cold and composed look was replaced with a dark and stormy expression. His eyes glinted dangerously and his voice was filled with a terrifying rage.
Even through the hand phone, the assistant, who was in charge of monitoring Pei Ge and Chen Zhengchu, still got frightened by Ji Ziming’s words that his teeth chattered.
“The – The doctor is currently prop – proposing to Miss Pei Ge. Miss Pei Ge seems to be very moved....”
“Damn it!” Ji Ziming’s knuckles turned white from grasping the steering wheel too tightly and his eyes turned pitch-black.
That dumb woman! Weren’t she suspecting that jerk just yesterday?! She really is a dumb woman!
“Knock, knock, knock!” Someone knocked on his car window just when he was burning with rage.
“You *******! Do you know how to drive?! Suddenly braking like that—” Before the man outside the window could finish his words and see Ji Ziming in the driver’s seat, the car abruptly took a sharp turn on the road and sped up as fast as the wind.
“F*ck! A Maybach is really something else! Tsk! And here I thought I could make a quick buck! Ptooey! How unlucky....”
The usual Ji Ziming would surely throw a check at the man, but he was currently too flustered, so how would he even think of doing that?
“Make that woman text Pei Ge right now to tell her the truth.” Ji Ziming floored the accelerator and ordered hastily.
“Yes, yes! I will call the doctor’s girlfriend right away, CEO Ji.”
After hanging up the phone, Ji Ziming sped toward the dessert house Pei Ge and Chen Zhengchu were in.
He had totally forgotten his previous words about not caring one bit for Pei Ge. He sped above the speed limit and overtook one car after another.
After his car passed yet another traffic light, his hand phone rang.
Thinking that it was his assistant calling, he hurriedly asked for an update the moment he picked up the call. “What’s the situation now? Did Pei Ge agree to that man?”
“Yo, Ziming. What are you talking about? What did Pei Ge agree on? He he! Is someone currently proposing to Little Chili?” Mu Heng’s quirky voice came through the phone.
Once he heard his best friend’s voice, Ji Ziming frowned tightly. He was about to hang up when his best friend continued speaking, “Ziming, didn’t you say before that you don’t care about Little Chili? Why did you have someone follow her, then? In the end—”
Before he could finish his words, Ji Ziming coldly hung up on him.
Mu Heng tugged at his lips when he heard the busy tone and depressingly muttered, “He is already this old, yet he is still as awkward as ever. Continue acting. Let’s see who regrets it in the future!”
“Mu Heng, what are you doing?”
Hearing the sweet and seductive voice, Mu Heng discarded thoughts about his awkward and drab best friend. Instead, with a grin, he replied to the pure-looking female idol he had just gotten to know, “I’m coming; I’m coming!”
...
“Pei Ge, I promise to always treat you well, never to turn left when you say turn right, to take good care of you, and to make you happy every day.” Chen Zhengchu smiled lightly, his face filled with seriousness as he made this vow to her.
She paused for a long while and seriously regarded Chen Zhengchu, her heart wavering.
Seeing her hesitate, he continued rather forlornly, “I don’t care if you don’t like me. Feelings can be nurtured. I believe that you will fall in love with me someday.”
Pei Ge’s eyes opened wide in shock and she looked at him with disbelief upon hearing this.
He actually knows of my real feelings, yet he still wants to marry me....
“Why me? With your background, it should be easy for you to find someone better and who likes you.” She was slightly dazed. She did not believe that the man loved her as they had only known each other for less than a month.
“It’s because I like you. You are also a good woman, so I don’t want to miss out on you.” He reached out and gently held her hand.
She licked her lips and retracted her hand from his.
He felt a little desolate inside when she did that.
“I... think that marriage is a serious matter, and it is not good to make a spur-of-the-moment decision regarding it.” She looked at him and said this gravely, “We should spend a little more time together before deciding on this.”
She then gently placed the shining diamond ring on his palm.
He felt the cold touch of the ring in his hand. Although he was already expecting this answer from her, he still felt slightly disappointed.
“Okay.” He smiled at her and then said firmly, “I’ll wait for you.”
At this moment, Pei Ge’s hand phone rang.
She returned to her senses and retrieved the hand phone from the handbag, only to realize that the message she had received was from a foreign number.
Opening the message, she subsequently froze.
[Hello, I am Chen Zhengchu’s girlfriend. I know that you two are on a blind date. I hope that you will not pester him again. We have been together since high school. He is my first love, and I am his, too.]
“What’s wrong?” he asked perplexedly when he saw her stare fixedly at her hand phone.
With a stiff smile, she lightly shook her head. “Nothing.”
“Quickly finish your dessert, then.” He gave her a smile. He, whose mind was currently preoccupied, did not notice the odd look on her face.
“Mhm.” She put down her hand phone and looked at the gentle-looking man opposite her through hazy eyes. Her heart was cold.
Men... lie... Are they all so good at lying?
The sweet dessert in her mouth taste bitter all of a sudden.
She was originally touched by his proposal, yet, right now, she only felt that the man opposite her was scary.
Did he guess that I would not easily agree to his proposal, so he used such a method to get rid of my suspicion? He clearly has someone he likes, so why... does he still waste his time on me? Could that text message be false?
