If Tang Xiaoyu called her and she did not pick up because her phone was on silent mode, she would feel guilty.
“Madam, please call Miss Qin Qitong back quickly, but she doesn’t seem to be in a hurry.”
Auntie Zhang smiled at Pei Ge as she walked to the end of the corridor to make a call. She then returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
“What did Qin Qitong say?”
Ji Ziming stood in the living room with his arms crossed as he watched Auntie Zhang run back from Pei Ge’s side. His voice was cold, as though he wanted to put all his coldness here today.
“Miss… Miss Qin Qitong said… said that she’s coming back for the wedding.”
Auntie Zhang regained her stammer. Looking at Ji Ziming’s face, she still did not know how to face Mr Ji whom she had taken care of for so many years but was still as cold as an ice mountain. Only when Mr Ji faced his wife would he reveal all of his warmth.
“Hello, Qitong. You called me this afternoon. I’m really sorry, I was in a company meeting and didn’t receive your call.”
The moment the call connected, Pei Ge apologized and looked at her reflection on the golden tiles.
The Gucci business suit was like a top-notch white-collar company, but it also revealed a hint of charisma. It was because of this charisma that Ji Ziming’s eyes followed her closely.
“I called you a few times, but you didn’t pick up. You’re so busy.”
On the other side of the phone, Qin Qitong was sitting on the bed as she watched Bi Zheng try on the groom’s gown she had bought for him one by one. However, for some reason, she just could not find a suitable size for him. She either found it too big or too small. Either she could not bring out Bi Zheng’s good figure, or she could only reveal his long legs.
In short, Qin Qitong had Bi Zheng change a few sets but none of them were suitable.
“Alright, alright. Something happened to my company over the past two days, so I’m a little busy. What about you? Auntie Zhang said that you’ll be back in a few days? Are you going to start your career so soon?”
She hid a smile in her eyes as she looked at herself in the golden tile. She seemed to have lost some weight due to the company’s recent incident. No wonder he always made her eat more at the dining table.
Little did she know that the meat she ate would be doubled in size.
“Something happened to your company? How is it now? Quickly tell me if CEO Ji helped you settle it.”
Qin Qitong was originally a little frustrated that Bi Zheng could not find a suitable groom’s gown, but when she heard Pei Ge say that something had happened to her company recently, she instantly thought of Ji Ziming, who was by Pei Ge’s side. As long as Ji Ziming was willing, no, as long as Pei Ge was willing, no matter what happened to her company, it could quickly resolve all her difficulties.
“He did give me a few suggestions.”
Pei Ge could not ignore the fact that Ji Ziming had a huge role to play in the leak of the company’s confidential data, but overall, she was the one who handled it.
Her best friend naturally had a lot to say when they chatted. Pei Ge quickly told her everything that had happened in the company and Ji Miao’s suicide.
What she did not know was that Ji Ziming was behind her, leaning against the stone pillar with his arms crossed. The smile in his eyes was glued to Pei Ge. As long as she was willing, she would be able to see his back when she turned around.
When Pei Ge was done with her story, Qin Qitong finally realized that what Pei Ge was talking about was actually such a huge matter. It was even possible that she would not be able to see this kind and cute best friend and mother who had taught her son well.
“Why didn’t you tell me? If you told me, I might have gotten Bi Zheng’s help.”
Bi Zheng was wearing a striped suit as he stood in front of Qin Qitong’s bed. The worry on his face was something Qin Qitong could not ignore. Hearing Qin Qitong mention his name, his eyes lit up.
Right now, he would rather go to the company to face those lengthy formulas than stay here and try on clothes that were not suitable for him.
“There’s no need for that. I’ve already settled most of it. Besides, isn’t Ji Ziming still around? He helped me a lot.”
Pei Ge rejected Qin Qitong’s suggestion. Qin Qitong had already said that she and Bi Zheng were going to get married, so how could she let Bi Zheng, the groom-to-be, help her investigate the case?
Thankfully, the company’s crisis was resolved this time, so Pei Ge could regain her mood to be Qin Qitong’s bridesmaid.
“If you have anything to tell me in the future, you should be able to use Bi Zheng and me with Ji Ziming by your side. Anyway, you must remember not to use us sparingly when you need us.”
Qin Qitong waved her hand and looked at Bi Zheng, whose heart was filled with grievances. After taking off his suit jacket, Bi Zheng, who was about to take off his pants, saw Qin Qitong cover the phone’s receiver and said softly, “Don’t wear them anymore. These clothes don’t suit you.”
Hearing this, Bi Zheng’s lips curled into a smile, and his eyes shone brightly.
“Ge Ge, I’m going back in a week. Send someone to pick me up at the airport.”
Seeing Bi Zheng smile, Qin Qitong’s bad mood from not finding suitable clothes swept away. She patted the seat beside her and signaled for him to sit down.
Bi Zheng happily sat down and quickly removed his pants. He hid under the covers and waited for Qin Qitong to hang up.
“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely send someone to pick you up. If I don’t, you’ll scold me to death. With your bad temper, I think Bi Zheng can handle you.”
Pei Ge smiled. Thinking about how Qin Qitong was in a whirlpool of happiness about to get married, she felt happy as well. As long as the person she loved could live happily, she would also feel happy.
“Bi Zheng can’t stand me? I can’t stand him.”
Qin Qitong swatted away the hand that was trying to touch her body, but unexpectedly, one hand went down and the other hand came up again. This repeated over and over again, and soon, Qin Qitong could not take it anymore.
“You’re spouting nonsense. I think Bi Zheng is pretty good. Don’t bully him or it’ll be time for you to cry. Listen to me and treat him well. Don’t bully him all the time. You’re about to get married. You can’t be willful.”
Pei Ge softly reminded him. She was afraid that Bi Zheng would not be able to stand Qin Qitong’s temper, but the outcome was beyond her expectations.
