Chapter 586: You are forbidden from talking to any unknown men!

“Mr. Ji, please mind your steps!”

Lily watched them get into a car and drove off. With slyness in his eyes, he reentered his fashion salon.

He he! After today’s banquet ends, my ‘small’ fashion salon will likely be the capital’s hottest topic for some time!

He hummed a tune under his breath in exuberance, but what he did not expect was that, after this night, it was not just his fashion salon that was going to be a hot topic. There was also…

“Lily, Miss Pei’s overall appearance today was done so beautifully! I almost couldn’t recognize her!”

“That’s right! Sister Lily, I think we’ve surpassed ourselves on this task this time!”

“I totally didn’t expect that Miss Pei could achieve that level of beauty! I’ve never seen any customer like Miss Pei. She totally transformed into a beauty… She’s so beautiful that it’s unbelievable!”

“He he! Of course, this isn’t just owing to our efforts. More than our effort, it’s…” the stylist, whose gaze had suddenly dimmed, said with a smile, “Ge Ge’s personal charm.”

What a good stylist needs the most is in fact a good model!

Pei Ge is probably the best model every stylist wants but can’t get their hands on! Luckily, it’s me that had the privilege of meeting her.

…

Naturally, Pei Ge was clueless on what was transpiring in the fashion salon. Currently, she was seated with Ji Ziming in the car heading to the banquet venue.

When the car stopped at the entrance to a grand, towering hotel’s lobby, two bellboys in uniforms quickly ran over.

“A good evening to you, Honorable Mistress.”

One of the bellboys in uniforms gave her an on-point smile and bent down. With one hand placed on the car’s trunk, he proffered his hand wearing a white glove in front of her.

She blinked at this. Truly, she wanted to ignore the hand and get off the car herself, but when she moved her feet, she realized that her gown today was not ideal for that type of action!

“Ugh…” She tried to shift her feet but came to accept that it would be hard for her to get off the car without help.

Hence, she smiled at the refined-looking bellboy, and just as she moved to place her hand in his, she noticed the light blush on his cheeks.

Hm? Why is this bellboy blushing? she mumbled inwardly. Before she had an answer to her question, the bellboy in front of the door suddenly vanished.

Following which, a pair of shiny, black leather shoes appeared in place.

“You can come down now.”

She raised her head in surprise upon hearing the low and cold voice and spotted the man standing at the bellboy’s place moments ago.

In fact, he was even doing the same thing as the bellboy.

With a hand placed against the car door’s top frame, the other well-defined hand lay open with its palm up in front of her. It looked very safe and secure to her.

Although his actions were a mirror of the bellboy’s, the feeling he gave off was totally different.

While the bellboy’s kind actions were unlike a polite and professional service staff, he only gave off the feeling that he was doing his job.

However, when the same actions were performed by Ji Ziming, he gave off an inexplicable noble and gentlemanly aura.

The way he invited her to alight from the car with his waist slightly bent made him seem like a prince from a fairy tale. One could not help but be moved by him.

At least, the man before her eyes was as thus. Different from her reaction to the bellboy, she did not have a second’s hesitation when she placed her hand in his well-defined one on reflex.

The man secured her small and warm hand the moment it touched his icy-cold palm.

“Let’s go.” He issued that statement in a seemingly satisfied tone, his lips curling up and his gaze turning gentle.

“Mhm.” Perhaps affected by his mood, she nodded smilingly at him.

With her hand tightly held in his, she felt her heart turn soft and warm.

This annoying fellow is exceptionally charming today…

Her lips curled up as she made this remark inwardly, feeling sweetness creep into her heart.

“You might meet my friends later. Don’t feel nervous and just leave everything to me.” His told this to the little woman walking abreast him with their hands clasped.

“Ah? Your friends?” She paused a little at this.

Ji Ziming’s friends?

Other than Mu Heng, I… don’t think I’ve seen any of them.

For some reason, she felt a little nervous.

That Casanova doesn’t seem to hate me. Then, will his other friends like me… Will they…

As she cared too much about the man beside her, she started worrying over everything.

Noticing her eyeballs frantically turning in their sockets, the man shook his head amusedly. He then raised his hand to give her head a light knock.

“Stop thinking about all this nonsense. I don’t have many friends, so nothing untoward will happen,” he calmly stated.

His statement was emotionless and curt, yet it was still effective in easing her anxiety.

“Mhm. I was overthinking things just then.” She herself found it to be laughable as well. What am I doing? I’m not his real girlfriend per se.

Why am I worrying about stuff only his real girlfriend should worry about? I’m really… flattering myself.

Still, to be honest, after everything that has happened today, I really think that this annoying fellow, in fact, has feelings for me…

If not… After tonight’s banquet is over, should I ask my relationship adviser, Tang Xiaoyu, for ways to test this annoying fellow?

To see if he really likes me…

Suddenly, she, whose mind was embroiled in all sorts of nonsensical thoughts, felt the man tug her out of the elevator by the hand.

Ding!

The parting of the elevator doors jolted her back to reality.

Stepping out of it, she was surprised by the lavish furnishings of the hall again.

Although she had been to a few events with him, she would still feel a little surprised every time she saw such high-class venues the rich gathered.

It was not that she was ignorant; rather, she was just a commoner.

The man lowered his head and spotted her silly look. Gazing at her outfit again, alarm bells rang in his head.

This woman is so stupid; I must guard her carefully later. If an unperceptive person…

Thinking up to this, the furrow between his brows deepened.

“Don’t run anywhere later! You’re also forbidden from talking to any unknown men!”

She was only made more suspicious by his orders. Does this prideful guy truly like me? Why did he say those ambiguous words?

“Understood!” A radiant smile blossomed on her face as she gave this reply to him, seemingly in a good mood.

“… Mhm.” With his breath hitching at her smile, he tightened his hand around hers.

This d*mn, stupid woman. Why did she dress up so beautifully for no reason?! Indeed, I must guard her properly later!
