“Ge Ge, when did your relationship with Xiao Ji make the headlines?”

Pei Ge and Ji Ziming initially did not pay attention to the posts on the internet, thinking that those would soon disappear from the most-searched topics.

What they did not expect was that, not only did it not go away, it instead became more widespread.

When she heard her mother speak of it, she was really surprised.

“Mom, how do you know about it?”

She frowned while looking at her mother. As far as she knew, her mother only went online to watch dramas and not to gossip.

Besides, the only computer in the house was in her room; how would her mother know about it?

“Ah, so you knew?” Her mother’s mouth opened in shock.

“I saw it on TV earlier. I thought at first that I was seeing things, but when Xiao Ji’s name was mentioned by the host, I knew that I didn’t see wrongly,” her mother explained, her eyes shining brightly.

Hearing that, her brows knitted tightly together.

She did not expect that the post about her and Ji Ziming would make to the news. That was a little too much.

“Ge Ge, why did your relationship with Xiao Ji make the news?” Zhang Manhua reiterated, looking baffled. Her daughter was not a celebrity and that man was not a well-known big shot, so how did their relationship become a highly publicized affair?

Earlier, quite a number of friends called to ask if her daughter was really dating the Ji Group’s prince!

“I don’t know, either.” Pei Ge shook her head. She was a little uncomfortable with how things panned out.

Although she did want others to know that the man was her boyfriend, she did not wish for it to be spread like this.

“Still, the photos of you two look quite nice. My daughter is so pretty!”

Her mother smiled at her with a face full of pride.

“On the internet, other than the few jealous people, the rest are complimenting your good looks! The male host was praising you nonstop, too!”

Seeing the proud look on her mother’s face, she shook her head wryly.

“Mom, people are praising the pictures of me with makeup on. If without it, who would praise me?”

She pouted a little.

To be honest, she looked like a different person from the one with makeup on.

Sometimes, if one could apply makeup well, it was akin to them having plastic surgery!

En. Lily was really skilled in the art of ‘plastic surgery’!

“What’s wrong with that? Others don’t even look as good as you with makeup!”

Her mother told her, still looking rather happy. “Actually, it’s good that your relationship with Xiao Ji is now public. That way, other women can’t go after him.”

“Mhm.” She nodded with a smile.

“Right, when do you start working at Xiao Ji’s company?”

Zhang Manhua asked as she realized that her daughter had been staying at home for a couple of days already.

“I’m starting work tomorrow morning.”

“Tomorrow morning?” She nodded. “Have you prepared your office attire for tomorrow, then?”

“Yes, I’ve prepared it already. I’m wearing the suit Xiaoyu gifted me a while back.”

Her daughter had an expectant smile.

She got curious at the mention of her daughter’s best friend.

“Speaking of her, I seem to recall that girl having a boyfriend, too. Is that right?”

“That’s right. She does have a boyfriend,” her daughter affirmed.

“What’s her boyfriend’s name? They seem to have been going out for a while now. When do they intend to get married?” she asked. Since she viewed her daughter’s best friend as half a daughter, she was also concerned about her marriage.

“Her boyfriend is called Gu Zhengrong, I think?”

Pei Ge mentioned the name with a touch of uncertainty. She had never really liked the guy, so she had never really taken note of his name.

“Gu Zhengrong?”

Zhang Manhua’s eyebrows moved a little, and a pensive look flashed across her face.

“The name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere…”

She definitely sounded familiar… but as it was probably in the past, the memory eluded her…

” Sigh! It’s probably sounds the same as the name of someone you know.” Clearly, her daughter was not taking her words to heart.

“Okay, mom! Enough of that guy! He might not end up with our Xiaoyu.”

“Why?”

She stopped thinking of that person’s name and instead paid attention to that bit of gossip.

“I don’t think their love is equal! Xiaoyu really likes him, but I can’t feel that he likes her. He’s quite cold when he’s with my best friend… For some reason, I keep getting this feeling that he has ulterior motives.”

Pei Ge shared her thoughts to her mother. Ever since her best friend told her about that guy, she had been feeling that something was off.

She would sometimes get this feeling that that man was bound to hurt her friend deeply someday.

Still, whenever she hinted this to her best friend, the latter would get a little mad at her.

She had, thus, stopped bringing it up to her best friend.

” Sigh! Ge Ge, don’t overthink the matters of the heart. Xiaoyu’s in the honeymoon phase right now; don’t tell her about all your conjecture,” her mother advised with slightly furrowed brows.

“I know,” she agreed, gently nodding.

As they talked about Tang Xiaoyu, Pei Ge’s phone rang.

The person calling was none other than—
