245 CEO Ji... is in a relationship? (1/2)

Bathed in the sun's warm glow at that moment, Pei Ge looked as if she were a light-emitting body. Everyone's gazes could not help but be drawn on her.

Pei Ge's stunning features and seductive figure were accentuated by her evening gown and caused everyone in the banquet hall to be awed.

”How stunning!”

”Beautiful!”

”Who is that lady? Why is she with CEO Ji?”

”I don't know. She looks new.”

”She looks pretty and stylish. Maybe she's the young mistress of an affluent family that recently returned from overseas?”

”That's possible!”

”Still, I'm more curious of her relationship with Young Master Ji.”

…

Hearing the crowd's mutterings, Pei Ge lowered her head in distress and looked at the evening gown she was wearing.

Only when she saw that the black gown was twinkling like the stars did she realize that small crystals were sewn to it.

Seeing that the whole gown was liberally decorated with these crystals, she was left speechless.

The hell?! No wonder Lily got mad when I criticized this gown! Apparently, it's worth a bomb!

They actually made a mere gown this extravagant. They are crystals to boot! I am actually wearing crystals in this banquet! The most important thing here, though, is that I don't want to stand out right now!

As the surrounding people continued to talk about her, she really felt like crying. She just wanted to enter the venue in a low-key manner so that she could hide in a corner and secretly pig out on food.

However… With such an attention-grabbing gown, everyone will surely notice me wherever I go in this room as long as there is sunlight.

Ji Ziming noticed the forlorn look of the woman holding on to his arm, and although he did not know why she was feeling depressed, his lips still curled up at the corner to indicate his good mood.

”What's with the long face?”

”It's all the fault of this gown! How am I supposed to secretly pig out on food in a corner now?” Pei Ge, who was deep in her thoughts, reflexively answered his question truthfully.

”Heh!” Her answer amused him to no end, causing his eyes to crinkle at the corner.

Pei Ge belatedly realized that she had spoken her thoughts out, but when she spotted his amused smile, she pouted indignantly.

”What are you smiling at? I am really very hungry right now, you know?!” She had never been this famish before. In fact, she was so hungry she was certain she could finish a whole table of food by herself.

”Let's go in and I'll bring you to get some food.” He consoled the aggrieved Pei Ge with this as he looked at her dotingly.

”That's the least you can do…” She immediately perked up upon knowing that she could eat so soon.

While the pair was in high spirits, all the other guests, male or female, were currently dumbstruck.
