Chapter 1226 - Not bad. You are pretty fast!

The crowd exchanged glances, not knowing what to say upon hearing his announcement.

However, these people were here for Ji Ziming, so if he said that the game was over, then there was no reason for them to say no.

“Huh? What are you saying?”

Mu Heng was different from this bunch, though!

He was hosting this event! Moreover, he had organized it to help his childhood friend and Pei Ge reconcile.

The two had not even met each other yet, so how could he let this event end just like that?!

“It can’t end!”

He resolutely voiced his objection.

The man slowly turned to look at him.

“What did you say?”

His voice was laced with threat.

He was not cowed by it, though, and merely drew to the man’s side.

“I said that it can’t end! Regina isn’t done playing it yet, so how can you end it here?”

He pursed his lips and grinned at his childhood friend, trying to break the dangerous atmosphere.

“She flew all the way here from New York, and the least we can do is properly entertain her, right?”

He continued speaking even when the man remained silent.

“Plus, your fiancée and girlfriend aren’t back yet. It appears that they’re still waging a fierce battle. We should wait for them to conclude it, shouldn’t we?”

Mu Heng felt his heart ease and started finding excuses when he saw that Qu Jingwan and the fake Pei Ge were both not in the resting lounge.

“...I’ll have someone inform them to leave.”

The other merely raised an eyebrow.

It was as though the two ladies mentioned were unrelated to him at all.

A lightbulb popped in his head upon seeing his childhood friend’s attitude. He narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up the man.

Only then did he notice that the man’s lips had a tell-tale sign of redness.

This color... would usually not appear on a man’s lips, especially if he was Ji Ziming!

The only instance that this would happen was...

His childhood friend snuck in a kiss with Pei Ge?!

“Regina is with you!” he blurted out.

“...”

The other remained silent at this.

His reaction made him burst into uncontrollable peals of laughter.

“Pfft! Not bad! You’re pretty swift!” he whispered, giving his friend a sly smile.

“Alright. Don’t meddle in our affairs anymore.” Ji Ziming gave him a side-eye.

With a shrug, he continued to grin. “Tsk! I don’t wanna meddle in your affairs as well, but what else can I do? If I don’t, who knows how long you two—”

The man’s sharp glare shut him up.

“Fine, fine, fine. I won’t interfere in your affairs anymore. You two can settle it yourselves! I’ll go have some fun elsewhere!”

With that, he pivoted and made his way to the door with a relaxed gait.

“Let’s go, guys! Let’s go. There’s nothing left for us to do here! Time to find a beauty to play with!”

The rest also followed him out.

The moment Mu Heng stepped out of the resting lounge and disappeared from the other man’s view, his relaxed and carefree posture was replaced by desolation.

Pei Ge, Ziming, I wish you two can get back together soon and lead a happy life...
