"He he! My soon-to-be husband is so cute!"
With that, she wound her hand around him and then tiptoed to plant a kiss on his cheek.
"My dearest 'husband', even if I'm not afraid next time, I will still pretend to be!" She blinked her doe eyes, which were filled with jest, at him.
"… Stupid woman." Ji Ziming raised his hand and, as though in revenge, rubbed her head with force, messing up her smooth and tame hair.
"My hair is getting messy! Stop it!"
Just as the two were fooling around, her phone suddenly rang.
"Ziming, my phone is ringing. Let me answer it."
Picking up her phone, her eyes immediately lit up upon seeing the displayed caller ID.
"Xiaoyu is calling me! I'll go chat with her for a bit!"
She promptly abandoned a certain CEO.
Seeing that she had unhesitatingly abandoned him for her best friend, the man instantly felt jealous.
He had not even officially met the woman, but he was already having a bad impression of her.
"Hello, Xiaoyu! Can make it for my wedding?"
She quickly arrived at the balcony. The sunlight made her body feel warm as bliss filled her.
pαndα-noνɐ1,сoМ "Yes, I can. Zhengrong and I have already taken time off here in New York for your wedding!" Tang Xiaoyu's excited voice came through the phone.
"Really?! That's great, then! When will you guys take a flight here? I'll have Ziming arrange your accommodations, or you can come stay with me!" she excitedly suggested.
"Pfft! Ha ha! Stay with you? Forget it. I'm afraid that your man will murder me." Her best friend burst out laughing and rejected the idea.
"Tsk! He won't dare!" she confidently declared, her lips curling up thereafter.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Not bad, Ge Ge. I truly didn't judge you wrongly. You didn't abandon your sister for your man! Not bad, not bad!"
"Of course. You should consider how deep our relationship is. We met in kindergarten and are bosom sisters!" She sat in the cradle chair with a light smile. "I still remember us saying when we were young that if one of us gets married and the other hasn't, then the latter must be the bridesmaid."
"I remember it, too. This time, this big beauty will come over to be your bridesmaid, but I'm worried that this young lady's stunning look will take the attention away from the bride!"
"Pfft!" She almost choked on her saliva at her best friend's self-praise. Rolling her eyes, her lips uncontrollably curled up.
"You should relax. When the time comes, I'll have the stylist make you look like Ruhua to accentuate my beauty more!"
"Aiya! You've become naughty!"
"Hng, hng!"
"It doesn't matter, anyway! Ha ha! What can be done when you're this beautiful lady's best friend? For your sake, not to mention a face like Ruhua's, I'm even willing to adopt Sister Feng's!"
The two chatted amid laughter for some time before Tang Xiaoyu recalled something.
"Oh, right, Ge Ge; do you still remember what I told you about last time?"
"Huh? What is it?"
"It's that matter about someone looking for you!"
"Huh? That? Didn't you tell me that it's a case of mistaken identity?" She paused to think for a while and then recalled what her best friend was talking about. "It's been so long; why did you bring it up again?"
"I happened to see that man in a black suit again the other day, and he's following a very handsome man."
"Huh, really? What of it, though?"
"The important thing is that the handsome man looks a little familiar."
Pei Ge was not interested in this, though.
Not one to put much emphasis on looks and a very handsome man within her grasp, toward a supposedly extremely good-looking man, she was not the least bit interested.
"I think that the 'Miss Pei' that man in black mentioned back then is you. Plus, he said that his boss's surname is Shen…" Tang Xiaoyu paused at this point.
"Mhm? What of his surname being Shen?"
"Do you still remember Shen Rui?"
"Ah, Little Fatty? Of course, I do!" She happily nodded and smiled when she heard Shen Rui's name and spoke his nickname.
"I was thinking: Could that boss with the surname Shen be him?"
"Pfft! How is that possible! Little Fatty neither has money nor brains, so how can he be a boss?"
She instantly rejected her best friend's idea.
It was not that she looked down on the guy.
It was just that that guy had zero sense of presence.
If not for her standing up for him and causing that accident, not many people would know that he existed in the whole class, not to mention the whole school.
"That's not exactly wrong, but I still feel that—" Tang Xiaoyu was cut off before she could finish her words.
"Ha ha! Alright. You said you saw an extremely handsome man. How could he be Little Fatty, then? You should stop thinking about this nonsense now."
Pei Ge smilingly reprimanded her best friend.
"You should now be thinking of coming to be my bridesmaid on my wedding day. When that time comes, I'll definitely ask Ziming to give you a huge red packet!"
"No problem, my bride!"
"Good girl!"
"Anyway, Ge Ge, will you invite our classmates from middle school on your wedding?"
She paused at her friend's question.
"Middle school classmates?"
"Yes. Actually, when you suddenly disappeared back then, a lot of our classmates came over to ask me about your condition, but with your family's circumstances… I refrained from telling them anything…"
Tang Xiaoyu lightly sighed. Having been in New York at that time, she of course was ignorant at first about the stuff that had happened to her friend's family.
It was only when their middle-school classmates were unable to find her friend and came looking for her instead that she found out about it.
"A few days ago, I bumped into our class president back then, and she asked me about you. She said that all our classmates miss you; do you think…"
