    “Have you really fallen in love with Ziming?”


    This question was akin to a hard punch straight to her heart. In fact, it was such a strong punch that it made her feel faint.


    “W-Who fell in love with that annoying fellow?!” She subconsciously rebutted him. She did not notice the weird way Mu Heng worded that question.


    She even forgot that she was supposed to be in a rtionship with the man in question.


    This Casanova’s usual mboyant disposition was reced by a seriousness demeanor.


    In fact, his bedroom eyes, which always seemed to be out to seduce people, were currently filled with seriousness.


    Such a Mu Heng, especially since he had just asked her that, inexplicably made her heart... shake in fear.


    For some reason, at this moment, she felt that such a sharp and serious side of this Casanova was actually this man’s real self.


    As she eyed the man warily, thetter’s expression changed abuptly again.


    “Aiya! Little Chili, so you actually like giving your lover a pet name!” With that, the man was back to his usual, dandy self.


    “Plus, you actually called our great CEO Ji ‘annoying fellow’! Tsk, tsk, tsk! I realize that I’m liking you more and more, Little Chili!” He gave her ackadaisical smile. This made her doubt whether she had truly seen the man be serious for once or she was seeing things moments ago.


    She was truly made dumbfounded by the man’s 180 shift in attitude.


    “Little Chili, have you been mesmerized by this young master’s charm?” He looked at the dazed woman opposite him and suddenly found her to be extremely adorable!


    <i>It’s no wonder my best friend likes such a in-looking woman!</i>


    “Pui! You pervert, stay away from me!” She regained her senses, just in time to see the man’s long fingers reach out for her. Seeing that he was intending to caress her cheeks, she rolled her eyes at him exasperatedly.


    When she avoided his touch, he revealed a look of disappointment and regret. “Little Chili, I’m afraid I can’t grant your wish; I’m your annoying fellow’s best friend, after all!”


    “Mr. Mu, your best friend is not home right now, and he’s likely not to return tonight, so can you please leave quickly? I’m going to rest for the night!” Driven to exasperation by his mboyance, she did not hide her intention for him to leave.


    He originally nned to tease her some more, but upon hearing her words, a look of confusion shed past his face.


    While he could not say that he had got his best friend all figured out, he still understood him at least 70 to 80 percent!


    It was impossible for his boorish childhood friend not to return home on the first day of them living together.


    “Mr. Mu, if you want to space out, can you please do it outside? I am going back to sleep.” Her face turned darker when she noticed him frown while spacing out.


    <i>Pak! </i>The man suddenly pped his hands, and the frown on his forehead loosened.


    The loud p scared her for a moment.


    “Little Chili, I know where your annoying fellow is now; do you want to know?” He gave her a secretive look.


    <i>Where Ji Ziming is now?</i>


    She... was really curious!


    Unbeknown to her, when he posed that question, her eyes shone so brightly they seemed like a gxy in their beauty.


    Even he, who had been wandering in flower groves for a long time, could not help but be mesmerized by her look.


    He finally understood why his childhood friend fell in love with such a woman, who, at first nce, did not seem to have any redeeming qualities.


    It had to be said that his childhood friend really had an eye for exceptional beauty despite not being in a rtionship much and barely even interacting with women!


    Although the woman before him, whom he called Little Chili, did not seem to be exceptional in any way, she was actually much more exceptional than many others in every way.


    Even he nearly made the mistake of being too superficial in regarding her.


    He himself did not know why he said the following words. “If you want to know, give me a kiss and I will tell you!”


    “...” Her lips twitched at this.


    Indeed, what I felt just know was wrong!


    <i>What about the sharp and serious man before me being his true self?! It’s all an illusion!</i>


    <i>This d*rned guy is a Casanova for sure!</i>


    <i>He’s even the type that doesn’t have any morals!</i>


    <i>People say that one shouldn’t make advances to their friend’s wife. Although my rtionship with Ji Ziming is fake, this Casanova doesn’t know it. Now, he’s actually saying this kind of thing to me. He’s totally impudent and despicable! Totally shameless!</i>


    “Just kissing me here is enough!” He gave the peeved her a wink as he pointed to his cheek while acting shy.


    “Get! Out! Now!” She reached out her hands to his chest and pushed him roughly away.


    From the strength she used, it was clear that she was not joking at all!


    Her push caused the slightly frail man to retreat step by step.


    “Aye, aye, aye! Little Chili, wait! Wait! I was just joking around with you! Don’t get so agitated!” He was pushed by her so relentlessly he could not even speak out his suffering.


    He initially gave her the nickname ‘little chili’ because of her personality, but he never actually expected her to be this strong!


    Moreover, unlike his boorish friend who regrly went to the gym, he did not possess a strength... that could beat this woman’s!


    Unfortunately for him, she did not bother listening to his exnation and only continued to push him out of the door.


    When she merely ignored his words, he finally realized that she was truly mad at him this time.


    “Elder Sister, Elder Sister! Big Mistress Pei, I was in the wrong! I admit my fault! I was kidding with you!” He raised his hands in surrender.


    Noting his surrender, she coldly harrumphed, “Hmph! Who is your elder sister?! You are clearly older than me!”


    “Yes, yes, yes. Younger Sis! Younger Sis Pei Ge!” He showed her a million-watt smile when she stopped pushing him.


    “Scram. Who is your younger sis? Stop talking trash to me and quickly leave. My ce here doesn’t wee you.” She coldly snorted with not a bit of politeness left in her.


    “Are you... really not curious about where Ji Ziming is right now, as well as who he is with?” He taunted her.


    “... Not curious!” She red at him resolutely.


    “Eh? Aren’t you his girlfriend? It doesn’t make sense that you’re not curious.” A bright light shed in his eyes as he pointed out with a grin.


    “This is me trusting our Ziming! yboys like you who treat love as just a game will never understand!”


    “Then, what if I say... that Ji Ziming not returning tonight is because of a woman?”
