257 Who is this annoying fellows girlfriend?! (1/2)

”Mhm.” Ji Ziming no longer continued feigning ignorance and, with a light smile on his lips, put her down.

Relief coursed through her body the moment her feet touched the ground, and she ignored the bit of desolation she felt inside her at this.

Once she steadied her footing, she immediately put distance between her and Ji Ziming in the cramped elevator.

He is releasing plenty of pheromones! I should stay far away from him, or I'll be dead meat if I fall for him!

Displeasure flashed through the man's eyes at her act of moving away from him.

”Why? Am I some type of bacteria?” He coldly harrumphed, his upturned lips curling downward.

Seeing the man getting angry, she muttered inside, He is indeed more temperamental than a woman!

”No, no. Of course, not, CEO Ji. I just thought that leaning against the wall is more secure. After all, my heels are too tall!” she explained with a grin.

He merely snorted at her explanation.

He then wordlessly took a few steps in her direction.

Her eyes helplessly widened when the man moved closer to her. Inside, she muttered, What is this annoying fellow up to again? He can't possibly be intending to hit me, right?

Unexpectedly, when he reached her side, he promptly held her hand and pulled her into his embrace.

”You will feel more secure like this.”

His clear and low voice drifted into her ears from above.

Her heart once more pounded erratically at this.

He – He – He is definitely making a pass at me!

She lifted her head to look at the man with wide eyes, unable to fathom his reason for saying such words.

By right, since there were only the two of them in the elevator, he should not need to continue with the farce.

The elevator reached the first floor while Pei Ge's mind was running wild.

Ding! When the elevator doors parted open, they saw the service staff standing outside with their outer coats in hand.

The pair quickly put on their outer coats and departed from the lobby of the building, which she still did not know the name of.

When Du Wen saw the pair exit the place, he quickly got off the car that was parked by the entrance and opened the door for them.

She recalled that the banquet was still in full swing when she got into the car.

”That… CEO Ji, it seems that the banquet hasn't ended yet?” she asked while blinking her eyes.

”It's fine. My business in this place has been settled,” he replied indifferently.

”Oh…” She nodded her head and then asked, ”Are we heading to Lily's salon now?”

”Why?” He turned to regard her with his deep-set eyes.

”Oh. It's just that my clothes and handbag are still at his place,” she answered.

”Hmm. Let's drop by there, then.” He eyed her clothes. Although the chest area was covered by a shawl, he still found the evening gown rather distasteful.

She should indeed change into another outfit.
