Within the sunlit garden restaurant, a melodious music played. However, silence reigned in the banquet hall that was supposed to be buzzing with people exchanging information.

All the people present were not enjoying the melodious music but were, instead, listening intently to the conversation going on in a certain area of the banquet hall.

The entire crowd was stunned into silence by Ji Zimings admittance that the woman beside him was his girlfriend.

Although some of them were guessing that his female companion was someone special to him, that was merely their speculation and they were actually uncertain of the connection of this woman, who had popped out of nowhere, to him.

Thus, they were all struck silly by his announcement.

They had never expected him to openly and clearly say the womans connection to him!

Furthermore They had just heard that this woman called Pei Ge was a social climber and a gold digger.

Young Master Jis eyesight could not that bad, right?

This is impossible impossible Pei Shishi was unable to accept that Ji Ziming would like Pei Ge.

She, who was so outstanding, had used all sorts of methods to woo this high and mighty man back then, yet he had never once reciprocated her feelings.

Why? He actually easily fell in love with her cousin and even personally acknowledged her identity

No, no! I cant take this lying down; I really cant! I am clearly superior to Pei Ge in every way. I am clearly the princess in everyones eyes

Pei Ge definitely doesnt like you! This heartless woman only likes your money and your family background! It is impossible for her to like you! Zhou Zhuoyang failed to notice his fiances unusual behavior as his eyes, which were filled with jealousy he himself did not notice, were on Ji Ziming.

Hearing his unfiltered words, the crowd silently agreed.

This kind of woman is totally incompatible with Ji Ziming!

Pei Ge regained her senses at Zhou Zhuoyangs insulting words. She stared at the man whom she used to love so much and coldness gripped her heart.

She suddenly realized why they had reached this point; Zhou Zhuoyang had never given her the trust she deserved.

It turned out that she was this kind of despicable person to him.

Although she no longer had feelings for him, she inexplicably had the strong urge to cry.

Seemingly sensing her emotion, Ji Ziming exerted more force to pull her into his strong and wide chest.

The mans hand was clearly so cold that it even made her skin shiver underneath the flimsy chiffon shawl, yet it inexplicably made her feel extremely warm and safe.

This Mr. Zhou? Ji Ziming peered at the man with his obsidian black eyes that were devoid of warmth.

I am clearer than you are on the type of woman Pei Ge is, and she is definitely not what you speak of. To me, she is much kinder, more forthright, and sincerer than any other woman, Ji Ziming slowly iterated, his low and clear voice making Pei Ge feel comforted.

Seeing the man slightly freeze, Ji Ziming laughed coldly. Lets forget that I, Ji Ziming, dont need to rely on my family background to get a woman.

His words caused all those in the banquet hall to nod in agreement. Even if he did not have his identity as a rich familys young master, he was capable of capturing the hearts of many women with his looks and imposing presence alone.

So what if Pei Ge wants me for my money and family background? It doesnt matter what kind of person she is. As long as I, Ji Ziming, like her and she likes it, I will satisfy all her desires. Ji Ziming glanced at Zhou Zhuoyang sharply when he domineeringly declared this.

Once these domineering words were spoken, every person in the banquet hall froze up.

None of them expected for the ever aloof and taciturn man to be capable of speaking such words, especially for a woman.

His declaration made the hearts of all the women around pound rapidly, and they stared lovingly and fondly in his direction.

They felt extremely envious of Pei Ge for catching this very special man.

How could such an amazing man be wasted on her kind?

Pei Ge, who was currently being seen as a thorn by all the surrounding women, was gawking at Ji Ziming as though lightning had struck her.

If she was still hesitating on whether he liked her or not moments ago, she was now completely certain that he did not like her at all!

His words are just too fake!

This is not the annoying fellow that I know, and it is totally unlike him!

What is exactly wrong with this annoying fellow? Hes been acting weird the whole day

Concluding that he did not like her at all, Pei Ges mind cleared up and she no longer felt dizzy over his words.

While her heart still crazily pounded from his declaration, her mind was at least as clear as the sky now.

She carefully looked at the man and saw that his gaze was on the pair opposite them.

Shifting her gaze on to Pei Shishi, she saw her jealous and incredulous expression. Pei Ge instantly felt that she figured out the truth!

Ji Ziming must be using me as a shield! This is not about him liking me but him wanting to shake off Pei Shishi, his admirer, instead!

Hmph! I already know that its impossible for this annoying fellow to like me. It turns out he has another motive, huh!

Pei Ge totally calmed down at this thought. Watching the engaged couple opposite them, her eyes spun for a moment and then her lips formed a smirk.

To totally rid herself of a jerk like Zhou Zhuoyang and to prevent this kind of stifling things from happening again, she decided to go with the flow!

Zhou Zhuoyang, did you hear that?! Ziming is my boyfriend, so what face do you have to continue claiming that I am still longing for you? Look at yourself; on which aspect can you match up to our Ziming? Hmph! Next time, dont ever claim that I am still hung up on you! That is just too laughable!
