Chapter 1189: She is my future wife—your sister-in-law.
“She... isn’t a woman you can like.”
Ji Ziming finally spoke after he coldly swept his gaze over Mu Heng, who had rambled off for some time.
The latter was incensed upon hearing that.
“On whose authority?! Why? Why can’t I like her?! Don’t go overboard! I’ve finally met someone who can make my heart beat fast after so many years; do you think it’s easy for me?”
“Makes your heart beat...”
The displeasure in the man’s heart got stronger at this.
That woman was clearly his wife, yet after leaving his side, her life seemed to have become even more brilliant and meaningful. Moreover... she had attracted quite a number of men.
“That’s right! I’m telling you: I like Regina! Whether you agree or not, I still like her! From today onward, I’ll officially start courting her! I—”
He heartlessly cut off his friend with his icy gaze.
“Court her?”
“Yes! I’ll court her! Why? Even though she is married and already has two children, I still like her and want to pursue her!”
The man felt even more irritated when his friend insisted on this resolutely.
“Is that so. Then, what if I tell you that she’s Pei Ge?”
“Even if she’s Pei Ge, I’ll still court her—”
Mu Heng’s eyes widened infinitely at that, breaking from his speech midway.
“What?! A-Are you saying that s-she is Pei Ge?!”
He could not believe his ears and revealed a look of utter shock.
In contrast, the man was much calmer.
“Mhm.”
He gulped but still had a look of disbelief.
“Regina is Pei Ge?”
“Mhm,” reaffirmed the man expressionlessly.
Upon seeing how calm and composed his friend was, as though what he had said was a natural thing, he instantly exploded.
“You must be kidding me! How could Regina be Pei Ge?! That’s impossible! Don’t tell me that it’s because you like her that you are using this excuse to me?!”
“She’s indeed her.”
No matter how agitated he was, the man remained calm as ever as he... stated that matter-of-factly.
Mu Heng felt himself breaking down upon his repeated confirmation. While speaking, his arms kept flailing.
“No! That’s definitely impossible! S-She—how could she be that woman?! Pei Ge looks so plain, while Regina is so beautiful! She...”
Ji Ziming cocked an eyebrow at him, coldly pointing out, “Do you mean to say that Pei Ge isn’t beautiful? Are you looking down on her?”
“No, no, no. Of course not. I just mean that the two have very different looks and aura!”
Those two should be different people! Regina is beautiful, capable, elegant, and authoritative.
As for Pei Ge, she has average looks, poise, and aura!
One is a female warrior, whereas the other is a goddess! How could they be the same person?!
Definitely impossible!
I must be dreaming... must be dreaming...
However, his dream was soon crushed mercilessly by Ji Ziming.
“She is indeed her, though. Regina is Pei Ge.”
“...No. You’re mistaken. I still don’t get how those two became one person! Also, w-why can’t I court her?!”
He still could not comprehend the fact that those two were one and the same as he frowned glumly at his friend.
“Because she’s my future wife—your sister-in-law.”
The man did not care much about it, though. Seeing that Mu Heng refused to accept his mistake, his gaze became more frigid and sharper. His voice also got laced with ice of harsh winter, seemingly capable of freezing someone over.
“...”
The latter could only shiver in fear upon hearing that.
His jumbled thoughts were shaken because of this.
“You said yourself that you found her familiar when you first met her; actually, back then, you should’ve already noticed something.”
The man lightly tapped his fingers against the table as he looked at him calmly.
Actually, quite a few clues could be found if one thought about everything carefully.
An example was the fact that she was Pei Ge.
“S-Still, even if that is so, you can’t be sure that Regina is Pei Ge! You said that both are the same person, but do you have evidence?”
Mu Heng was still reluctant to admit this truth. While he believed his friend to some extent, he did not want to accept it.
“I don’t have evidence, but I know that she’s her. That’s because I am her husband and she is my wife.”
The man stopped everything he was doing to look up at him coldly. His voice was filled with undeniable certainty.
He had never seen this cold and serious expression on his face. Slightly stunned, he continued, “...My brain is a little messy at the moment, so I will go home for now.”
“Mhm.”
The man’s dark and cold eyes were tinged with helplessness as he watched him leave.
Although he did not have evidence that both women were one person, the moment he met her, his icy heart had already recognized her.
Thus, he treated her so specially, though he was still deceived by her outward appearance.
Looks could be deceiving and he was deceived, but... in the end, he still managed to recognize her.
That body was so familiar. That was his woman...
What he did not expect was that, after so many years, she would actually change and become... this attractive.
In the past, she had a special kind of appeal. Now, that appeal had become more apparent!
“She really is... to attract so many men...”
Ji Ziming tightened his grip on his fountain pen and raised an eyebrow.
“It’s time for my wife to return...”
However, surprisingly, when he went to look for her the next day, he was informed that she was no longer around.
