“What does this house’s restoration got to do with Ji Ziming?!”
She widened her eyes at him in shock.
Isn’t the restoration this into how my family’s house look Auntie Ji’s doing?
What has that got to do with that annoying fellow?
What… in the world is this Casanova talking about?
“Aye?” He grew curious when he saw the confusion on her face. “How has this house got nothing to do with Ziming? Didn’t he buy this house and then renovated it?”
“Of course not!” she refuted sans a second’s hesitation. “Auntie Ji bought this house, and she’s also the one who renovated it! It’s got nothing to do with Ji Ziming.”
“… Ah?” He was stunned when he heard this. “This house was bought, as well as renovated, by Auntie Ji?”
What has this house got to do with Ziming’s mother? Didn’t he buy this house a long time ago?
“Mhm!” She nodded confidently and continued to speak seriously. “That’s right. You must’ve gotten it wrong! How was it possible for Ji Ziming to do all that himself?”
If Ji Ziming really did all that, I wouldn’t even feel conflicted over his feelings for me!
“Er…” Her look of conviction almost had him convinced.
However, the moment he saw a fat cat run down the staircase, he burst into laughter.
“Pfft! Ha ha ha!”
Er… Why is this Casanova suddenly laughing? What is he laughing at?
She gave him a look of perplexity and asked with a frown, “What are you laughing at?”
“No-Nothing!” He took a gander at the fat cat winding between her legs and laughed aloud again.
“…” She really did not know what was wrong with this man. Her frown only deepened when he did not stop laughing even after a long time.
What is this crazy person laughing about?
Ha ha ha ha!
I really pity my best friend! He’s such a pitiful person!
“Ge Ge, I must say that you are truly the most miraculous woman I’ve ever met!” He praised her between his laughter.
“Hah?” She totally did not get this man’s words.
“Ha ha! Really, I haven’t met a woman as miraculous as you are!”
Ha ha ha! For a moment there, I almost believed that this garden house was arranged by Ziming’s mother instead of him.
Now, he finally understood everything. All this was truly his best friend’s doing for this woman!
That was because… his best friend’s mother feared cats!
She was scratched by a cat when she was still young; hence, from then on, she had always been a little too wary of cats! No matter how obedient or adorable a cat was, she would certainly not dare to touch it!
She would not even dare to look at cats!
As such, how could she, who feared cats, even bring over such type of animal for Pei Ge?
That was totally impossible!
It seemed that this silly woman had misconstrued something!
“Crazy! What are you laughing at? Do you believe that I’ll throw you out if you continue laughing?!” His continued laughter frustrated her to no end.
Noting that he had peeved her, he quickly repressed his laughter as he asked, “Who told you that it’s Auntie Ji who had bought and renovated this place?”
“Of course, your best friend did!” she replied matter-of-factly.
“Pfft!” His already stifled laughter bubbled up once more upon hearing that!
However, when he noticed her glaring daggers at him, he promptly retracted his smile again.
“Cough, cough, cough!” He, who had already gone beyond the limits of stifling his laughter before, coughed lightly a few times to repress his laughter anew.
“So.” She cocked a brow with narrowed eyes at him before she scoffed. “What in the world are you laughing at? Is there something this funny?”
His laughter seemed to remind her of something, and it made her feel very concerned.
He was once more amused when he noted her serious look.
“I? I was just laughing at the two very stupid people I know.” His lips curled up and his eyes turned into crescents, giving him a gleeful look.
These two’s ancestors… would really kill people with their relationship progress!
Everyone else shows their hearts to each other when in a relationship, yet these two… They clearly care so much for each other, but…
He transferred his long and tender-looking eyes on her. This woman, who had a round and open face, with a matching pair of clear eyes, seemed not to be contaminated by anything dirty in this world.
Suddenly, he figured why this woman had not realized his best friend’s feelings for her after all this time.
From his many years of experience womanizing, this one before him was a dunce.
Still, thinking about it differently, women like her were the most loyal and devoted once they fell in love.
As such, this type of innocent, loyal, and devoted woman was what he was most fearful of touching or getting involved with.
Thinking of his best friend next, he felt an unidentifiable feeling inside.
“Hey, why are you zoning out?!” She nudged her lips exasperatedly at the man when she saw him stare at her oddly.
Is this man okay in the head? What did he mean by that? He even started staring eerily at me after saying all that stuff.
“You…” He regained his senses in that instant. The nonchalance on his face disappeared, and a solemn look descended on it, instead.
She could not help but feel stunned by his suddenly somber look.
“Mhm?”
He stared fixedly at her and asked in a low voice, “Have you really fallen in love with Ziming?”
