Pei Ge put down her bowl and chopsticks once she finished her food, only to belatedly realize that Mu Heng and Ji Ziming had long put down theirs.
“Er…” She awkwardly looked at the two and reached for a napkin to wipe her mouth.
“CEO Ji, I will be off first, then.”
“Mhm. All the ingredients in the kitchen have been moved downstairs.” He nodded his head and said coldly.
For some reason, her mind drifted off a little when she heard that.
A high and mighty CEO talking about the food ingredients being moved… somehow sounded really weird.
“Oh, alright. Thank you.” She blinked and expressed her gratitude with a slight smile. This annoying fellow does touching things sometimes and irritating things at other times.
Seeing her move to leave, he hurriedly shouted, “Wait!”
She turned to look at him with confused eyes. “Mhm? Is there still something else, CEO Ji?”
“That book.” He walked toward the coffee table that the two of them had been sitting and picked up the book titled ‘Pounding Heart’.
She blinked in surprise and muttered inside, Don’t tell me he wants to give that book to me?
He sauntered over while intently looking at her.
She could smell the man’s light mint scent with how near he was at her.
“You can take this back home to read.” He offered the book, which had accompanied the two of them this afternoon, to her.
In a trance, she reached for it….
When she reached out to receive the book, her hand incidentally grazed his cold fingers.
Unsure if it was her imagination, she felt a bolt of electric current from that graze.
She raised her head to gaze at him with wide eyes and found that his face was also swirling with unidentified emotions.
“What are you two doing?” Mu Heng asked with a smile as he looked at the seemingly slightly disoriented pair.
Little Chili is really interesting. She actually manages to elicit many different emotions from Ziming.
Pei Ge and Ji Ziming regained their senses when they heard his question.
“That… CEO Ji, I will take the book, then. Goodbye.” She quickly received the book from him and hastily left the ward, as if she were fleeing.
Ji Ziming watched the woman disappear in the distance and then turned to study his fingers.
“Hey, Ziming, you can return to your senses now!” Mu Heng hopped to Ji Ziming’s side with a cheeky look. Observing the man absentmindedly stare at his fingers, he asked amusedly, “What are you in a daze for? This is unlike the usual you.”
With a peer at his best friend, Ji Ziming calmly put down his hand and returned to his usual cold self.
“He he! Looks like only Little Chili can make you have a different expression. This is really interesting…” Mu Heng laughed when his best friend pointedly ignored him.
“Shut up.” Ji Ziming cut him a cold gaze and said, “Leave if you have nothing to do here.”
“Don’t be like that! I specially came to see you. Don’t throw your friends away in the face of love!” Mu Heng would really seem heartbroken if it were not for the smile on his handsome face.
“I can also read a book to you!” he cheekily boasted.
“Scram.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I can’t be bothered with you too if you can’t be bothered with me! Hmph, hmph, hmph!” He tugged at his lips and mumbled, “My darling is still waiting for me.”
“…” Ji Ziming was made speechless by his despicable-looking best friend. How did I get stuck with him?
“Hey, Ziming, I’ll really be off now!” Mu Heng blinked and informed him.
“Mhm.” he uncaringly hummed his assent.
“Alright. Although you are such an immoral person who only cares about your lover and not about your friends, I will still visit you tomorrow.” Hmph, hmph, hmph! I will also disrupt your date with Little Chili tomorrow! Hmph, hmph, hmph!
“…” Ji Ziming could obviously guess what his good friend was up to with one glance.
After wordlessly sending off Mu Heng, Ji Ziming sat in the chair by floor-to-ceiling window. Once more, he raised his hand to stare at his fingers absentmindedly.
Just then… He felt the paralyzing sensation of electric current coursing through when Pei Ge’s fingers came into contact with his.
The electric feeling flowed from his fingertips straight into his heart.
It was clearly just the accidental touching of our fingertips….
“Pei Ge…” he mumbled softly and then directed his gaze to the chair beside him.
His cold and apathetic eyes slowly turned gentle.
He seemed to hear the woman’s gentle yet emotional voice beside his ears again. Hearing her speak those loving words from the novel and hearing her question him with an aggrieved and crying voice why Bruce would hurt Julie….
Ji Ziming’s face turned gentler and his smile grew wider.
…
“Assistant Du, thank you so much for today!” She hopped off the car and said this gratefully after Du Wen had people unload the ingredients in the boot.
“It’s nothing much. Which floor is your apartment on? I will have them move the ingredients up there.” He smiled kindly at her.
In response, she quickly waved her hands and said, “You don’t need to do that, really. A few people will come down later to collect these ingredients themselves.”
“Hm? A few people will come down to collect them?” He looked at her with confusion and muttered inside, Is Miss Pei Ge not planning to consume these ingredients and is, instead, looking to sell them?
“Yes. My family can’t finish these many ingredients alone, so I had my mom inform our neighbors about getting their share of them,” she explained with a smile, adding, “Since these ingredients will be thrown away at the hospital, it is better to give them away than let them go to waste.”
Du Wen was momentarily transfixed by her explanation before replying in exasperation, “Miss Pei is really considerate.”
There are few kind and simple women like her in society these days. It is no wonder our big boss treats Miss Pei Ge differently.
Ugh! I used to think that our big boss has poor taste in women, as he doesn’t even put those topnotch beauties in his eyes, yet he is so hung up over the average-looking Miss Pei Ge.
It turns out our big boss’s standard is actually higher. He doesn’t look at a woman’s outer beauty but prioritizes her inner beauty, instead! He prioritizes a woman’s beauty within!
