Chapter 515 - You are that woman who saved Madams Love!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Where have I seen this man before?

Pei Ge was regarding the young man with perplexity when she felt a cold hand grab hers tightly.

She lowered her head and identified the one holding her hand to be the annoying fellow.

Raising her head to him, she caught sight of his expression.

“What’s wrong?” She took advantage of Mother Ji being on the phone to dip her head questioningly at him.

Ji Ziming lightly peered at the man beside his mother and then turned to look at the woman beside him.

“Is he really good-looking?”

A nameless emotion swirled in the depths of his eyes, which Pei Ge failed to pick up on.

“Huh?” She shot him a quizzical look.

“Why are you asking me that?” The moment this question left her mouth, her brain caught on to what he was talking about.

“Oh! Are you referring to him?” Her eyes widened.

He merely peered at her wordlessly.

The unhappiness written all over his face was pretty much an admission to that.

“Pfft! He’s pretty good-looking—” She uncontrollably burst into laughter at his grim look.

The man shot her a glare in the middle of her speech.

“—But not as good-looking as you are.” She finished with a wide grin, seemingly unfazed by his cutting gaze.

Once she finished speaking, not only the man, even she herself was stunned.

Aiyo! The hell?! What’s gotten into you?! You actually dared to say such a thing to this annoying fellow! I think you’ve gone crazy!

She, who was breaking down inside, carefully and guiltily lifted her gaze on to him.

What she saw in his face was not anger, though. In fact, his expression was less somber than before.

Also...

She blinked in slight puzzlement at the man’s flawless profile.

I seem to detect happiness in his eyes...

I must be seeing wrongly!

Of course, the nearly suffocating her never suspected that what the man sitting beside her was feeling right now was... exuberance!

Meanwhile, all a certain great CEO could think of at the moment was: This dumb woman just praised me and said that I am better-looking than that chap! Hmph! At least, her eyesight hasn’t gone bad!

Although a certain boorish CEO’s heart was currently jumping with joy, he did not show any of it on his face.

Other than the merriment in his eyes and his slightly upturned lips, no other tell-tale signs could be seen on his face at all.

“Ge Ge, what did you just say to Ziming? Why does he look so happy?”

Of course, as one of a certain great CEO’s parents, Mother Ji could obviously see through her son.

Pei Ge was confounded by question of Mother Ji, whose phone conversation had just ended.

This annoying fellow is happy?

She turned to look at the man questioningly.

I don’t think so! He still has a cold expression. How is this the face of a happy person...

She turned away from Ji Ziming, not knowing that the moment her eyes turned away from him, Ji Ziming immediately shot his mother a look filled with complaints. This gaze only lasted a split second, though.

The middle-aged madam could not help but be amused by her son’s action.

My son did inherit his father’s awkward and proud personality. Indeed, awkwardness is in the Ji family’s blood!

“He he! Ge Ge, is the food I ordered to your liking?” She grinningly placed her sights on to her. Although she could not see her features clearly, it did not stop her from growing fonder of her. The voice of her son’s girlfriend alone gave her a pleasant feeling.

“Mhm! I like it a lot. Many of the dishes are my favorites!” As she gave the man’s mother a nod, she eyed the food on the table with exasperation. No wonder auntie didn’t ask me for input about the lunch menu. Qitong actually told her of the types of food I like to eat!

“Really? Ge Ge, don’t be polite with me.” Mother Ji beamed at her again.

“Auntie, Sister Pei Ge is telling the truth. Most of the dishes that you ordered are her favorites! She really likes savory food. Actually, her taste is just like yours!” Qin Qitong covered her mouth and giggled.

The two other women were taken aback by her words.

“Aiya! Ge Ge’s taste is just like mine!” Mother Ji’s eyes twinkled as she turned to look at Pei Ge. Her fondness for her grew again.

Pei Ge also had a look of surprise on her face, totally not expecting for the man’s mother to order the dishes she liked by herself. She is indeed... very honest!

“He he. Auntie, I think this proves a phrase.” The girl suddenly laughed teasingly.

“What phrase?” She looked at her curiously.

“That is... The people who don’t belong together don’t get to live together! Ha ha!” She blinked her eyes at the two women.

Unexpectedly, Mother Ji nodded at that. “Mhm. It really is true!”

“...” Pei Ge’s mouth quivered as she observed their gleeful chatter.

As for the man, his lips curled up slightly. He seemed to be in an awfully good mood.

The sumptuous lunch was, thus, concluded in a happy note. By the end of it, she gained a good understanding of Mother Ji’s similar taste to hers.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Madam, Master is calling again...”

The four were about to move into the living room when the young man from before rushed in again with a phone in hand.

This time, though, he was holding a pink handbag.

Noting the man and the pink handbag, Pei Ge’s eyes instantly widened.

Is-Isn’t that...

“Love?!” she exclaimed.

Everyone’s eyes swiftly turned into her direction.

The man, who had just entered the room, eyed her curiously, but the moment he did so, his face showed shock.

“Y-You’re that woman who saved Madam’s Love!”
