“Young Master Ji, I heard that you are recently...”

Once the episode with Pei Shishi and Zhou Zhuoyang was concluded, the banquet resumed its usual hubbub.

The banquet also regained its original purpose upon the two’s departure and in the absence of gossip. The people present conversed while they elegantly drank wine, as though nothing out of the ordinary had just happened.

This was when Pei Ge finally realized that this was a business gathering and not a casual party.

After all, shortly after the couple’s departure, a few men in elegant business suits, with wine glass in their hands, quickly approached Ji Ziming to chat with him.

She was not the least bit interested in their conversation, so after sneaking a glance at Ji Ziming, who was coldly interacting with the men, she moved to another corner with her plate in hand.

Ji Ziming’s eyebrows twitched slightly when he noticed that the little woman had left his side. However, his lips curled up when he saw her simply move to another location to continue pigging out.

That dumb woman is really treating this place as a restaurant. Later, I’ll teach her of what it means to be my plus one.

“Sigh!” Pei Ge, who started pigging out in a secluded corner, lowered her head to look at her tummy and sighed.

This damn corset is preventing me from enjoying my food! she complained internally. While she appeared to have eaten a lot, the food she had been able to consume was actually not that much.

She took small bites of all the food, and a few more if she liked it, but that was it.

Her appetite was still as big as before, but the corset was preventing her fromeating much.

Feeling the corset constricting her stomach rather uncomfortably, she regretfully placed her utensils down.

She could not eat anymore. If she did, she would vomit or the corset would rip apart.

Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly drifted far away from Ji Ziming.

She looked in his direction and saw that he was still engaged in a conversation with others. Nudging her lips, she muttered inwardly, This is so boring. He probably doesn’t need to bring a female companion in this type of gathering.

“Hey, how did you meet Ji Ziming?” As she was chastising the man inwardly, an unfriendly female voice sounded in her ears.

Raising her head, two women wearing flamboyant evening gowns greeted her sight. She did not know when the two approached her.

One woman had pretty makeup and was clad in a bright-red evening gown that made her look stunningly sexy.

The other woman was clad in a simple yet elegant-looking, light pink evening gown. It was refreshing to the eyes and made her clear face look more exquisite. The overall feeling she gave off was one of comfort and ease.

“I’m talking to you. Are you mute?” The woman in a red gown sneered disdainfully when she did not reply.

“Excuse me; why should I answer you? Do I know you?” She rolled her eyes at the woman and replied with an attitude.

She was someone who was not cowed by force but would easily give in when faced with reason and emotion. Thus, with the woman’s bad attitude, she did not feel like explaining her relationship with that annoying fellow to her at all.

“You!” The woman’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets from anger. She looked as if she wanted to tear her apart.

“Stop calling me ‘you’ or ‘me’. We are not that close.” Pei Ge coldly harrumphed and then bluntly said.

“Do you know who I am?” The woman raised her chin and looked at her with ill-disguised disdain.

“I don’t care who you are.” Pei Ge rolled her eyes in exasperation as she complained inside, It’s that annoying fellow’s fault for attracting so many peach blossoms.

The woman moved to speak again at Pei Ge’s arrogant attitude but was stopped by her companion.

“Miss Pei, Leyu did not have ill intentions toward you. She is just a little hot-tempered. I hope you won’t mind.”

“Ruolan, why are you apologizing to her? Hmph! None of those with the surname ‘Pei’ is good, especially since she is the sister of that b*tch, Pei Shishi!” Jiang Leyu snorted, glaring at Pei Ge with disdain.

“Leyu, don’t say that.” Tao Ruolan regarded Jiang Leyu with resignation. She then turned to look at Pei Ge apologetically. “Miss Pei, I hope you are not offended by her—”

“‘She did not do it on purpose’, right?” Pei Ge coldly interrupted Tao Ruolan. “I’m very curious; is she underage, or does she have mental disability? I am neither her father nor her mother. I am certainly not her sister as well. I have no relationship whatsoever with her, so why should I give her face?”

“You with the ‘Pei’ surname, what do you mean by that?!” Jiang Leyu demanded. If not for Tao Ruolan holding her back, she would already rush up to give Pei Ge a huge slap across the face.

“It means that ‘I can’t be bothered with you two’.” With that, she sauntered away from the two in her ten-centimeter tall stilettos.

“Ruolan! Why did you pull me back?! That woman is too much!”

“Leyu, don’t be rash. She is Ji Ziming’s girlfriend. You just saw how much he cares about her. If you touch her, you won’t get away with it easily.”

Pei Ge heard the two ladies’ conversation and blinked her eyes in amusement, Is that annoying fellow that scary? Is he so frightening that the mere mention of him is enough to stop that woman from doing anything?

She was having these nonsensical thoughts when she spotted Pei Shishi’s figure.

Cousin?

When her cousin walked out from a set of gigantic doors, she unhesitatingly followed her.

Leaving the banquet hall filled with melodious music and floral fragrance, she strolled along a quiet corridor.

The signboard along the walls clued her in that this was the walkway to the washroom.

She quickened her steps when the figure ahead disappeared into a corner.

Tac, tac, tac! The red carpet ended at the corner, causing her every step with her heels to reverberate in the area.

Pei Ge eventually reached the front of a pristine white door. Once she confirmed that it was the washroom, she pushed the door open and entered.

It was time for her to have a good conversation with her cousin.
