The holiday quickly slipped by.

As they did not have many relatives, Pei Ge’s family was not very busy during the holiday.

They merely spent a few days at home.

She planned to bring her mother on a trip since it was the holidays, but seeing the many people traveling during this period, she decided to visit a few neighboring cities with her mother.

“Ge Ge, are you still going to work outside the capital after this holiday?”

On the fourth day of this year, with only a few days left of the holiday, Zhang Manhua asked her daughter this.

“Yes, I should be.”

She gave an uncertain reply. She wanted to keep working at the branch company in Tianjin and finished what she started, but just because she wanted it did not mean that she could.

“Oh.” Her mother nodded, continuing to ask. “Did Xiao Ji tell you when both sides of the family will have a meal together?”

She shrugged amusedly and then innocently said, “I don’t know about this. Ziming has been busy these past few days, so I haven’t asked him about it.”

“He should be a little busy since it’s the holiday.” Her mother nodded a little disappointedly upon seeing that she did not know it, too, and did not ask further.

Ever since that time their relatives came and said those words, she had this anger in her heart.

Now, she only wanted her daughter to get engaged with her boyfriend fast to shut that Liu Yan’s mouth!

“Aiya! Mom, don’t think too much about this. Ziming said that he had already informed his family about it, so the meeting should happen in a few days.”

Although she did not know what was up with her mother, she could still feel that the latter needed reassurance upon noting her anxious look.

“Alright, mom. If you are worried about me and Ziming, I will call him now to set a time, so you won’t continue overthinking this.”

As she said that, she took out her phone and called the man under her mother’s expectant gaze.

The phone only rang for a few seconds, and a certain CEO on the other end already picked up.

“Hello, Pei Ge.”

“Hey, Ziming. I have something to ask you.”

She did not drag it out but went straight to the point.

“Hm? What’s the matter?” he calmly asked.

“That is...” She peered at her mother. When she saw the latter looking at her expectantly, she amusedly replied, “Which day are we meeting your parents for a meal?”

This question made the man’s mood brighten, and he softly replied. “Tomorrow, then. Are you and auntie free tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?” She glanced at her mother. Amid her mother’s furious nodding, she smiled and answered, “We’re free, of course.”

“Okay, then. We’ll set it as tomorrow.”

“Mhm!”

After asking this, she bid him goodbye and was about to hang up when she heard him ask, “Pei Ge, are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”

“Dinner?” She blinked at his question, but before she could reply, her mother spoke first while smiling.

“Yes, yes, yes! Ge Ge, go have dinner with Xiao Ji tonight. I’m meeting someone, so don’t come bother me.”

She shook her head wryly at this and then pouted on the phone. “Ziming, you heard it. I am free tonight.”

“Good, then. I’ll fetch you from home tonight.” There was a smile in his voice as he happily told her this.

Hanging up, she noted her mother’s teasing look.

“Mom, what’s with that look?” She pouted helplessly at her mother.

“He he! You’re even shy.” Zhang Manhua chuckled, teasing her some more. “Remember to wear prettier clothes on your date with Xiao Ji tonight.”

“Aiya, I know.”

She chatted awhile with her mother and played with her cat a bit before going to her room. She then switched on her laptop and continued studying the lecture materials Professor William had handed out.

Although it was the holiday, she did not stop her daily lesson online.

This was because she understood that knowledge equated to power. Her success at Jiaheng last time was largely due to that professor’s help.

She did not want to keep relying on others and wanted to use her power to become a woman worthy of Ji Ziming.

She did not want to hear gossip about her relying on the man when she went around with him as a couple in the future.

Hence, she could not give up Jiaheng. In fact, she intended to finish this beautifully!

Amid her study, time quickly passed by unknowingly. The day had also turned into night.

She only emerged from her study at the ringing of her phone.

“Ah!” She widened her eyes in shock upon seeing the time displayed on her phone.

“It’s already so late.”

She muttered in surprise when she saw that it was already past 5 PM.

“Hello! Ziming, are you here?”

She got up from her chair while answering the call and then dashed out of her room.

However, when she exited her room, she realized that her mother did not seem to be home.

“Mhm, I’m here. I’m outside your house door.” The man’s low and clear voice traveled into her ears.

She was shocked at this.

Her mother was truly not at home!

She rushed to the door and opened it.

The moment she opened, she spotted the man in a grey windbreaker. He was standing outside her door with his back straight and his hands filled with items.

“When did you reach my place? Also, why did you bring so many things?”
