Knock, knock, knock!

A series of knocks on the door interrupted Pei Ge and Lily’s conversation.

“Who is it?” The stylist muttered this unhappily as he stood up from the chair.

However, the moment he opened the door, his displeased look instantly disappeared.

“M-Mr. Ji? Why are you here so early?” He gulped when he saw the chiseled man standing outside the door.

Ji Ziming merely signaled the stylist to move over with his sweeping glance.

The stylist subconsciously took a step back when he met his piercing gaze.

The man strode into the room, but when his eyes landed on the woman, he stopped in his tracks.

He took in her otherworldly features and his heart’s pounding accelerated.

Pound, pound! The pounding of his heart grew harder. In his eyes were naked awe.

He then recalled the conversation of the people in the corridor moments ago.

The woman in front of him looked ethereal.

“CEO Ji?” she called out softly, feeling confused when he suddenly stood stock-still.

Since Lily was present in the room, she was still slightly shy to call him intimately.

He finally spoke.

“… Ziming.”

She rolled her eyes internally at him.

Jeez! Does he have to be anal about it?

“Ziming.” She could only obediently call him in this endearing way under Lily’s shocked look.

Retracting all the emotions he had just displayed, he calmly stopped in front of her and lowered his head.

When his sight landed on the twin peaks, his ears reddened and his forehead scrunched up instantly.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, perplexed. She lifted her head to meet his eyes.

When her clear eyes met his, he felt as if his heart would jump out of his chest.

Thump, thump! All his eyes could register was her supple, pink lips.

When he saw the way her lips opened and closed, he suddenly had this strong urge.

He had this urge to… kiss this woman’s lips to punish her for wearing something like this…

“Er?” His stare made her feel self-conscious.

After a pregnant pause, he, who had only regained control of his emotions, felt a surge of unexplainable rage when she averted her eyes from him.

Who is this d*mn, stupid woman trying to seduce by wearing something so revealing?!

She, who was afraid of meeting his eyes, perceived his displeasure despite not looking at him directly.

Noticing his silence, she surreptitiously gulped and then raised her head to look at him.

“What’s wrong?” She could not understand the cause of his anger.

“…” His eyes narrowed into slits at her.

This d*mn woman actually dares to ask me what the wrong is?!

She was just thinking that the man would not answer him when she heard him speak.

“Who are you trying to seduce by wearing so little?” He pinched her chin.

The coldness of his fingertips could not compare to that of his voice.

The stirring inside her heart immediately subsided at the fierceness in his voice.

“What did you just say?!” she angrily retorted. She shook her chin out of his grasp.

The man was unwilling to let her go just like that, however, and once again seized her chin between his fingers, even using greater force this time.

“Are you feeling guilty?” He gave her a cold look. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable frustration when he saw her ethereal beauty in this dress.

“Ji Ziming, have you gone crazy?!” She did not bother shaking off his hand this time and even raised her head slightly to give him a fierce look.

“Aren’t all evening gowns like this?! You lunatic! Lily, come and talk some sense into this—”

Halfway through her rant, she turned to look for Lily, only to realize that the stylist had unknowingly slipped out of the studio and even… politely closed the door for them.

The hell?! This d*mn Lily actually disappeared at such a critical time!

She scolded a certain someone for ditching her at the most important time.

Once she was done grumbling about the stylist inside, she realized that a certain CEO’s gaze was turning colder by the second.

“Cough!” she coughed lightly and complained unhappily, “Anyway, how dare you say that about me when I’m wearing these clothes because of you?! Do you think I’m willing to wear this revealing dress?”

He was stunned for a second when he heard this, and the force he used on his fingers became smaller as a corollary.

For some reason, when he heard her say that she had worn the outfit for his sake, his mood considerably improved, and the anger inside him was instantly extinguished.

While he was still in a daze, Pei Ge became more fluent and agitated in her speech.

“If not for you, would I wear this kind of dress, this kind of shoes, and even this hard-to-remove makeup?! Do you know how long it takes me to remove my makeup every time?!”

When she thought of how long it would take her to remove this makeup, she felt even more depressed and helpless.

“Ah, right! There is even a wig today!” She noticed the hair on her shoulders and continued again.

“Do you know how heavy this wig is?! I’ve only been wearing it for this short period of time, but my neck is already sore!” she said angrily.

This wig was indeed very beautiful, but its weight was not something a normal person could bear for long!

She was still complaining when the ache in her neck worsened, making her feel more aggrieved.

“I’m already like this, yet you’re still saying that about me. Who did I even mess with—” The rest of her words were lost when the man’s cold lips seized hers.
