“Oh, yeah. Mingxuan, how does your goddess compare to Pei Ge? Is she as pretty as her?”
Curious, Liao Gaofei asked the man that rather straightforwardly.
Of the four, he was the closest to this man, so he knew just how much he was pining for his goddess.
While their other two friends might know that Fu Mingxuan had someone in his heart, as all the girls he had dated through the years carried the woman’s shadow, only Liao Gaofei knew that the man had a wish, and that was to marry his dream girl no matter what the odds were if he ever saw her again.
This decision was made a few years ago after the man had thought things through.
He still remembered the moment his close friend told him, with a face of defeat, that he could not forget her.
“What do I do? I realized that I couldn’t forget her. No matter how much those women resemble her, they’re not her…
“Gaofei, I think that she’s the only one for me…
“I decided to give myself five years. If, in these five years, I don’t see her again, I’ll give up on her, but if I do, then… no matter what, I’m gonna marry her.”
How did I react back then?
Holding the crystal glass, he took a sip of whiskey and amusedly shook his head.
At that time, he thought that his close friend had gone crazy.
He was only a teenager when he met and became infatuated with that girl.
Furthermore, the two only spent minimal time together before she disappeared for over a decade without a word.
However, it was this woman, who did not even count as a first love, that had left his close friend pining for all these years.
He even decided to marry her against all odds…
It was… really crazy.
“Is your goddess prettier than Pei Ge?” He lowered his head and chuckled.
What he did not know was that, the moment he lowered his head, a complex and grim look fleeted across Fu Mingxuan’s face.
Who is prettier between the two?
Heh…
What to do when they are the same person…
“Of course, the woman in my heart is the prettiest. All the women in the world can’t compare to half of her…”
“Pfft! Ha ha! Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder!” Liao Gaofei chortled.
Hearing his laughter, Mu Heng turned to smile at Fu Mingxuan. “Tsk, tsk. If she’s even prettier than Little Chili, I really can’t wait to see your goddess.”
“Yeah! You haven’t told us your goddess’ name yet?” Liao Gaofei smacked him head and turned to him urgently.
Fu Mingxuan moved his gaze away from the woman and glanced at his friend calmly. Under the gazes of his two friends, his lips turned upward into a calm smile.
“You’ll find out when she becomes my wife.”
“…”
“…”
The two froze when they heard his reply. They then exchanged glances and guffawed.
They had never this man, who was the most gentle and reliable out of them four, would say something so aggressive, and it was about a woman, too!
“We never knew that you’ve got all the makings of a domineering CEO!” Liao Gaofei laughed, patting his shoulder.
“Fine! We won’t help you look for her. You can keep the joy of the hunt to yourself.” Mu Heng also patted him while laughing.
He raised his brow a little and probed. “En, what’s up with Ziming? Why did he suddenly get a girlfriend? Plus, his girlfriend, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t from our circle.”
“Eh? How did you know that she’s not from our circle? Did you hear the gossip as well?” Liao Gaofei looked at him curiously; even he was unsure of their aloof friend’s relationship.
Thus, how did this guy, whose focus was fully on the company and never on gossip, know about it?
“Of course not.” He smiled as his gaze fixed on her, saying softly, “It’s because I know her.”
“Eh?! You know her?” the two men with him exclaimed in unison.
“Yes. I saw her before; I never thought she’d become Ziming’s girlfriend,” he calmly affirmed with a smile on his lips.
Seeing his calm and open look, as if he were not emotionally invested in the woman, not only Liao Gaofei, even the sensitive Mu Heng failed to pick up that his relationship with Pei Ge was not simple.
This playboy took his words for it, thinking that the two were mere acquaintances.
“Ha ha! I didn’t expect our circle to be so small!” Liao Gaofei muttered, amused.
“Yeah. It’s pretty small. D’you all know who Pei Ge’s cousin is?” The Casanova suddenly brought up.
“Who is it?” the other man asked, instantly hooked.
Fu Mingxuan’s attention was attracted to this topic as well.
Pei Ge’s cousin?
His brows furrowed a little.
“It’s an ‘old friend’ of ours…” Mu Heng smirked at his doofus friend and then at the serious intellectual. Leaving the two hanging for a bit, he then revealed the answer before the pair could react.
“It’s that Pei Shishi! Guess you two didn’t expect that!”
The two paused when they heard him.
“Oh, d*mn! It’s Pei Shishi? You serious about this?”
