Chapter 248: You seem to still be going on blind dates recently?

Pei Shishi could not believe her eyes. She totally did not expect that the woman who was making her burn with jealousy was actually her cousin, Pei Ge!

She gawked at the woman who looked over her shoulder and at her while standing beside Ji Ziming.

She really did not expect that the woman whom everyone claimed as Ji Ziming’s girlfriend and whom he so lovingly took care of was the Pei Ge that she had always been looking down on!

Despite the Pei Ge standing before her being worlds apart from the usual one, as a person whom she knew for over a decade, Pei Shishi easily recognized her.

That was because… Pei Ge’s current appearance was very similar to her looks in middle school.

Back then, her cousin was famous for being a beautiful and upbeat goddess. She was even elected as the school flower in several different middle schools.

Right now, wearing such an extravagant evening gown, exquisite makeup, and carefully selected body accessories, she greatly resembled the past Pei Ge whom everyone loved…

Standing beside the high and mighty Ji Ziming whom Pei Shishi could never get hold of, Pei Ge was not the least bit overshadowed. Instead, she looked beyond others’ reach as well and even seemed like a real princess.

It reminded her of a past she wanted to forget – those times that she was still a nobody. Back then, no one called Pei Shishi by her name and would, instead, say…

‘You are Pei Ge’s cousin? Why are you so different from her?!’

‘How can Pei Ge have such a stupid and ugly cousin?!’

‘She is Ge Ge’s cousin. How come the pretty Ge Ge always places first in the exams, but the ugly cousin is always at the bottom of her class?’

‘How did Pei Ge end up with a sister like you?’

Damn it! Damn it! Didn’t Pei Ge already become fat and stupid like a pig?! Even if she’s clever, she still only took up a technical degree!

She clearly can’t compare to me in every aspect! Family background, looks, education, career… She is clearly inferior to me in all aspects! Why, then?! Why did Ji Ziming get together with her?!

“Pei Ge!” Pei Shishi, who had temporarily lost her rationality, shrieked, interrupting the romantic atmosphere the pair had going and attracting the attention of those around them.

How can it be Pei Ge?! This is impossible! Ji Ziming’s girlfriend definitely cannot be her!

This voice? Pei Ge was slightly startled by the voice. Shifting her gaze in the direction of the shout, she quickly spotted Pei Shishi, whose expression was a far cry from her usually gentle and elegant one, staring straight at her.

“Cousin?!” she exclaimed at the sight of Pei Shishi.

At Pei Ge’s shocked exclamation, Ji Ziming turned to look in the same direction and also quickly spotted Pei Shishi’s jealous-filled and crazed gaze.

Noticing the man’s gaze on her, Pei Shishi immediately schooled her jealous and contorted expression into her usually gentle one. Nonetheless, despite her best effort, her gentle expression still seemed stiff and unnatural.

“Ge Ge, what are you doing here?” Pei Shishi had a light smile on her face as she approached the pair.

It was as though she were not the person who had angrily shouted Pei Ge’s name moments ago.

While she still treated Pei Shishi as a relative, she was not an idiot and naturally noticed the latter’s hate-filled expression just then.

She was now very certain that her cousin had purposely harmed her before because of Ji Ziming.

“Look at you attracting a peach blossom!” For some reason, she felt a little aggrieved. She, thus, vented her anger on the man by softly muttering this.

In response, the man coldly harrumphed and then said, “I only met her a few times.”

Pei Shishi fortunately did not hear the pair’s conversation, or she would definitely go bonkers at it.

After all, the pair’s conversation was like that of an intimate couple’s. The two did not realize this fact, of course.

Pei Ge watched her cousin get closer to them, and, before she could formulate a reply to the latter’s prior question, Pei Shishi smilingly asked another, “Considering that you are Ziming’s secretary, you must be here for work?” She actually wanted to find out Pei Ge’s actual relationship with Ji Ziming.

However, she did not have the guts to ask a question regarding that, as she felt that doing so would make it come true.

“I—” She was about to confirm Pei Shishi’s conjecture when Ji Ziming suddenly pulled her into his embrace, startling her into swallowing her words.

“Miss Pei, I told you before that we are not that close. Please conduct yourself with dignity.” The man narrowed his cold eyes warningly at Pei Shishi.

Pei Shishi instinctively took a step backward at his threatening glance. However, at the sight of him intimately embracing her cousin, she lost her level-headedness to jealousy and totally forgot about how fearsome the man could be.

“Ge Ge, I heard from Big Auntie that you are still going on blind dates. How are they? Have you met anyone good recently?” Pei Shishi was smiling in a way that seemed to suggest that she truly cared for her.

Pei Ge was slightly stunned by her question and could not fathom why her cousin would bring it up right now.

Shaking her head, she looked at her cousin with confusion.

What’s wrong with my cousin? Why did she bring up my blind dates? I really don’t understand her intention. Hm? Weird. Why do I suddenly feel a little cold?

She rubbed her arms. Glancing up at Ji Ziming who was standing beside her, she saw that he had a frosty expression on his face and was glaring at her.

This damn woman actually went on blind dates behind my back! How dare she do that!

Pei Shishi clenched her fists tightly upon seeing Ji Ziming’s expression. Although she was still smiling on the outside, her heart was actually boiling on the inside.

I love Ji Ziming with my all, yet this man, whom I begged for but was still unable to obtain, actually fell in love with Pei Ge!

He actually really fell in love with her, who doesn’t have an ounce of talent and is as stupid as a pig!

How can Pei Ge match up to him?! I definitely won’t allow it to happen!
