Qiao Jingyun was unaware of Xu Li and the waiters’ thoughts.
She was sitting obediently in Ji Ziming’s car with a wide smile on her face.
“Ziming, your car is still as minimal as ever; your car still lacks any décor.”
Looking at the car’s clean interior that did not even have the smell of air freshener, her mood improved.
This is great! There’s no trace of that woman in his car!
“En,” he mumbled absentmindedly, his eyes on the road.
It was exactly because of this that she had an opportunity to execute her plan.
Seeing that his focus was not on her, she smiled slyly.
She reached into her bag and furtively took out a few feminine items and placed them in an inconspicuous position in the passenger seat.
After she succeeded in placing the objects in his car, her smile widened as her mood improved significantly.
“Ziming, when will you be free? Let’s go out for a meal again. You didn’t eat with me today. No matter what, you must make it up to me at least once, okay?”
She looked at him with a playful smile.
“We’ll see about this.”
He neither agreed nor refused her request.
“Tsk! You really are busy, huh.”
Hearing his reply, she did not pressure him into agreeing to her request. She merely pouted and gently scoffed to illustrate her discontent.
However, her coquettish expression froze a little when she heard his following words.
“Right, last time in New York, I sent a message using your phone. Did the message get sent properly?”
Red light. The car stopped.
He turned to look at her.
Although it had been a while since the incident, he was still a little confused.
When he sent that message to Pei Ge, he did press send, but why did she not receive it?
Qiao Jingyun’s smile froze a little at the man’s inquiry.
How? Why would he ask her this? She did it rather discreetly. There was no way that he would know…
Panic flashed across her eyes.
Alas, it fleeted too fast for the man to catch.
“Yes. I was even curious about the person you sent that message.” She nodded and went along with the topic rather naturally, looking at him confusedly.
“Anyway, why are you asking about this suddenly?”
He frowned a little when he saw the confusion on her face. “It’s nothing.”
Could it be that the message was not sent due to poor reception?
“How could it be nothing?” Just as he wanted to change the topic, she decided to dwell on it.
“Since you’re asking, there must be something.”
Her dark eyes were full of confusion.
“The message was apparently not sent out.” He gave this explanation when she pressed him for an answer.
“Huh? Really? I was saying… You clearly sent the message, but there was no message in the sent folder. I thought you deleted it after sending the message, but I guess you did not…” she explained seriously, nodding as if she had made sense of things.
Looking at her seemingly genuine expression, the last shred of doubt in his mind disappeared.
The traffic light turned green at this point.
He stepped on the gas and focused on driving again, choosing not to discuss the matter with her.
As for the woman seated in the passenger seat, she heaved a sigh of relief surreptitiously.
It seemed that she had successfully covered her tracks…
Tsk. Learning some acting skills overseas had advantages, it seemed!
See? She managed to fool him flawlessly this time.
She smiled, in a good mood again.
However, this time, her smile contained a little arrogance.
The car quickly arrived at the door of her house.
“Ziming, I’ll say good night first!”
She waved at him with a smile after she got out of the car.
“En.” He nodded at her. He then stepped on the accelerator and left without hesitation.
There was no sign of the gentleness and patience he had shown Pei Ge.
Looking at the fast receding car, her bright smile instantly disappeared.
“Pei Ge, let’s see if you, the vixen, are better than me! Hmph!”
She turned and entered her family’s house after she sneered.
…
The first dinner of the year was destined to be an interesting one.
Ushering into a new year meant ushering into a new beginning.
The reunion of many families made this dinner seem harmonious.
However, the new year’s dinner at Pei Ge’s home was destined not to be peaceful.
Once she got home, she helped her mother prepare a sumptuous dinner in the kitchen.
However, before they could start eating, a group of uninvited guests arrived at their doorsteps.
“Ge Ge, happy new year!”
When she opened the door, she did not expect that her relatives would be there.
“Second uncle, second auntie, cousin, why are you all here?”
She frowned a little and looked at this family of three in confusion.
This family had never set foot in her house before. Why would they choose to do so on such an important day instead of staying at home?
That was a little too weird, right?
“Ge Ge, look at what you’re saying? We decided to spend the new year with you guys. Since there are just you two, we fear that you might get lonely.”
When she heard this, alarm bells went off inside her head.
No! They must be plotting something!
For some reason, only one thought came to her mind—
These people are up to no good!
