By the time dinner ended, Pei Ge only had one thought left, and that was: This is definitely the fullest meal I’ve ever had!

“Burp!” She involuntarily let out a belch the moment she put down her chopsticks.

Even though her burp was not loud, the two men on either side of her still heard it.

“Pwah!” Wen Qimo burst into laughter when he heard her belch.

She blushed from utter embarrassment at his laughter and directed a grudge-filled gaze on to each man beside her.

Who is actually to blame here for my burping?! It’s of course these two men who kept supplying me food nonstop!

Ji Ziming was a little stunned at her soft burp, but upon receiving her grudge-filled gaze, his lips quivered up.

This was his first time hearing someone burp.

Noting her pink cheeks, he unexpectedly did not find her actions as uncouth and found it rather cute, instead.

If Mu Heng were present at this time, he would surely use the saying, ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ to describe the great CEO Ji!

Just think of it; this man was very strict on social etiquette, especially on table manners, yet not only was he unappalled by her burping at the dining table, he even found her really cute!

This was something totally inconceivable and unheard of! If it were another person that had burped, Ji Ziming would certainly shoot daggers at them and then blacklist them forever!

“You’re not allowed to laugh!” She glared fiercely at Wen Qimo out of embarrassment.

The man just laughed harder at her anger, though.

“How dare you still laugh?! If it weren’t for you two piling my bowl with food nonstop, I wouldn’t be this full right now!” She eyed him hatefully. Perhaps, because she had drunk some beer, she was currently more casual with her speech.

“Yes, yes, yes. Our fault; our fault.” Wen Qimo had a bright smile on his face as he looked at her. His expression, which was doting, seemed to say, ‘What am I gonna with you?’

This scene stung Ji Ziming’s eyes.

“Why are you still laughing?!” she exclaimed angrily. She was about to launch into a tirade when something warm touched the back of her head.

She subconsciously looked backward, only to be met with Ji Ziming’s rage-filled face.

Feeling the chilly aura, she blinked in confusion.

What’s making this annoying fellow angry again?! Clearly, no one is provoking him!

“What’s wrong?” she asked, baffled.

“Hmph!” He merely snorted.

She could not help but be amused by his response.

Why do I feel that, ever since meeting Wen Qimo, this annoying fellow’s emotions have become like a little kid’s?

She blinked and decided not to look at him anymore. Of course, she also did not bother looking at Wen Qimo, who could not stop laughing at the moment.

Instead, she directed her gaze on to her mother.

Once Zhang Manhua finished her cup of tea, she smiled and told the three of them, “Alright. Since we are all done with our dinner, I should bring Ge Ge home to rest now. You two should return home early, too.”

With that, she got up from her seat.

“Alright, Auntie. Let me send you and Ge Ge home.” Wen Qimo also got up and smiled warmly at Zhang Manhua.

Zhang Manhua did not reject his offer. After all, to her, she was her future son-in-law, so it was only natural for him to send his mother-in-law and girlfriend home!

“Okay, but you drank some beer. Are you sure you are okay to drive?” she asked, uncertain. She only remembered then that the man had had a few cups of beer.

“I’m good. I only drank a few cups; it’s not a lot.” He waved it off.

However, the moment he finished speaking, the previously quiet great CEO Ji butt in and took a stab at him.

“You still drank even if it’s only a few cups; that is still considered as drunk driving.”

Wen Qimo’s eyes turned into slits from smiling as he directed his gaze on to Ji Ziming.

“That’s right, Mom. We should just hail a cab to go home. There seems to be some heavy checking on drunk driving recently.” Pei Ge could not wait to get away from the two men, so she quickly suggested this to her mother.

Under the two’s combined persuasion, her mother easily relented with a nod at her. “You have a point. Let’s just take a taxi back.”

This was when Ji Ziming spoke once more.

“Auntie, I’ll send you guys back,” he offered.

“Huh?” Zhang Manhua was a little stunned by his offer.

At this, he explained, “I didn’t drink.”

That was right; the very picky Ji Ziming was able to tolerate food he disliked and despised in this special circumstance, but he was totally unable to tolerate drinking beer, which he considered as a low-quality alcohol!

As such, he did not even touch a drop of beer during the meal. Even though the two females on the table each drank a little, he still did not touch the beer.

“O-Oh, oh! That’s right. Xiao Ji, you didn’t drink at all.” Zhang Manhua eyed the man dubiously once she realized this fact.

Why do I feel that Xiao Ji has some ulterior motive toward my daughter?

“No need, CEO Ji. Your house is in the opposite direction of ours; we don’t want you to make an effort. We’ll just go home by ourselves!” Pei Ge was quick to reject his offer.

Ji Ziming pressed his lips together in displeasure at her quick refusal.

“It’s not much trouble. Auntie, let’s go,” he coldly urged while peering at her.

Zhang Manhua glanced at her daughter and then at the man. Hesitating a bit, she eventually still nodded in acquiescence as it was goodwill on the man’s part.

“Alright, Ge Ge. Let’s take Xiao Ji’s car.”

Pei Ge could only obediently follow behind the man at her mother’s order.

I really don’t know what this annoying fellow is thinking...
