“This is too much. We’ve traveled so far, only to have your superior walk out on us.”

Smith, who was the partner company’s representative, went Sparta when the man walked out determinedly.

“Apologies, sir. Our boss is getting engaged today and definitely did not mean you any disrespect.”

Ji Ziming’s right-hand man, Du Wen, politely stood up and began explaining his boss’s action to this potential business partner when he saw how upset this person was.

“Our boss just cares a lot about his fiancée. She’s been waiting for him all morning.”

Okay, fine. Even though the man did indeed leave because of Pei Ge, at the end of the day, this was something their boss was capable of doing.

After all, he was that willful.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Okay, their boss was usually quite the responsible CEO.

Thus, as their boss’ fiancée, it could be said that she was just too formidable. She was an existence more formidable than their boss!

“En? Did you just say that your CEO is getting engaged today?”

When the man heard his explanation, the anger on the former’s face dissipated at once, only to be replaced by surprise.

“Yes, our boss’s engagement party is today. There’s news about it in various media outlets. Sir, you’ll see it if you go online.”

He nodded with a smile before taking the liberties to open a site with this news on his laptop.

“See; it’s this afternoon.”

Smith and his team were stunned by the news.

“Oh, man! Why didn’t you all tell me in advance that our CEO is getting engaged today?” asked Smith. Although the man could not read Chinese, he grasped the situation after his interpreter translated everything for him.

“He he! Sir, our boss really values this project as well. That’s why he didn’t cancel this meeting.”

It seemed that he had succeeded in appeasing this business partner. Du Wen smiled.

“In that case, let’s postpone this for a day. Today is his engagement, after all.”

The man looked at him with his light-blue eyes twinkling.

“I wonder if I can attend your boss’s engagement party this afternoon?”

He paused briefly when he heard this man’s request but maintained a straight face.

“Sure. I believe that our CEO will welcome you at his engagement party.”

…

While Ji Ziming’s assistant was having a ‘friendly’ conversation with the group of investors in the conference room, the man, who had left the Ji Group building, was seated in his car, driving toward Lily’s salon.

Fortunately for him, he only encountered a few red lights, so he arrived at the stylist’s salon in the shortest amount of time.

After he entered the lobby, he made a beeline for the makeup studio where his girlfriend by himself.

Arriving at tightly shut wooden door, the man suddenly had trepidation.

From here on, the woman inside would no longer be his girlfriend. She was now his fiancée.

Hence, he was nervous.

Thump, thump!

His heart beat rapidly, and he hesitated in placing his palm on the door.

Only when he heard noises from the other door did muster up the courage to knock.

Knock, knock, knock!

“Come in.”

When he heard this voice from inside, he took a deep breath and turned the doorknob. The tightly shut door was then opened.

As if in slow motion, the man saw the door open bit by bit.

He slowly took in the view inside the room as he pushed open the door.

“Ming Ming, why are you here so soon?”

Both parties’ mothers widened their eyes when they spotted him at the doorway from the lounge chairs they were seated.

“Yes, didn’t you say that there’s an important business meeting at your company today? How come you’re here already?”

“…” The man standing at the door did not say anything. Instead, he just frowned.

Not here.

There was no sign of his woman anywhere.

“Where’s Pei Ge?” he asked with a frown.

The two mothers burst out laughing when they saw how focused he was on looking for his woman the moment he stepped into the room minus a care for anybody else.

“You see; doesn’t this silly boy of mine look like his wife has just gotten stolen from him?”

His mother teased him, clearly in a good mood.

His woman’s mother enthusiastically responded when the other said that. “Our Xiao Ji really cares for that silly girl of mine.”

Seeing that both mothers were ignoring his question, the man’s frown deepened. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a click .

Click!

He quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the changing room in a corner was being opened from the inside.

As the door was opened, the man held his breath.

When the door was fully opened, he froze position, as if he were under a spell. He was like a mannequin, frozen and unmoving.

He only got back from his dream-like state when a melodious voice called his name.

“Ziming?”

Seeing the woman dressed in white look at him in surprise, his body reacted before he could think.

Before anyone could utter any word, he reached her side and pulled her into his arms.

“I do…”
