Chapter 771 - Compared to my benefactor, Pei Ge is of course more important.

The phone rang continuously.

Pei Ge could not ignore it even if she tried.

“Mm!” She pushed Ji Ziming to the side. “You’d better take that call from your sister, or else I’m afraid that she’ll keep calling through the night.”

The man, who got pushed away, frowned deeply and then glanced coldly at the phone.

It was as if he were eyeing his nemesis.

“She probably doesn’t have anything important.”

He was starting to feel disgruntled about Qiao Jingyun inside.

He finally got the chance to be lovey-dovey with this stupid woman, but someone just had to get in the way. How could he possibly be in a good mood?

“Really? Then, why is she calling continuously?” she asked askance. “Is there an unspeakable secret between you two, and that’s why you don’t dare to answer the call now?”

“…” The man’s mouth twitched a little when he heard her accusation, and in that moment, he did not know what to say to her.

He understood now how willful a woman could be.

To take the call or not – both were mistakes at this point.

“Okay, I’ll take it.”

“On speaker,” she said, raising her chin.

She would love to see what important matters this Qiao Jingyun had with her boyfriend to call him continuously.

He nodded and turned on the speaker.

After the call connected, a sweet, gentle voice was quickly heard.

“Hello, Ziming. What were you doing that it took you so long to pick up my call?”

The woman on the other end grumbled at him with a sweet voice.

Because the voice was especially sweet, her complaints sounded as if she were being coy.

Therefore, Pei Ge got annoyed again and glared at him.

“He he he! That’s your so-called sister?” she mouthed.

The man’s lips twitched slightly as he looked at her before speaking on the phone. “I’m with my girlfriend right now. Is anything the matter?”

His words were especially cold and sounded as if he were not talking to his sister or benefactor.

She was happy with the way he acted.

Although she was grateful to that woman for saving him, that was a separate matter altogether.

That woman was clearly interested in her boyfriend and was out to steal him from her.

“Ziming, what’s wrong? Why are you speaking to me like this?” Qiao Jingyun asked in disbelief. She was rather confused by his cold attitude.

“If there’s nothing, I’ll hang up now.”

The man did not bother explaining himself to her.

While the woman was his benefactor, when it came down to who was more important to him, it would of course be his future wife!

“No, don’t hang up yet! I’m calling because I have a favor to ask of you.” She rushed to say that once she heard that he would hang up.

“En, speak,” he replied evenly.

He knew that the woman liked him, and while it did not bother him in the past, now that he had someone he liked, he decided not to give her hope.

He could not let this stupid woman with him get the wrong idea.

Thus, he decided to draw a proper line between him and his benefactor. It was better for them both this way.

“I… started a business in the fashion industry, and its officially launching is a few days from now. I’d like to invite you as my guest of honor for its opening. Will you be free then?”

“I won’t.”

He rejected her without hesitation.

“Come on; I heard that you’re on vacation—”

“I am on vacation. With my girlfriend.”

The other end went silent after he said that.

He was about to hang up the call when the woman on the other end spoke again.

“You can bring your girlfriend with you. Haven’t I told you that I want to meet this girlfriend of yours before? I want to see what kind of person she is to be able to take you down.”

This gleeful voice came through the phone.

Listening to the teasing voice, Pei Ge could not help but marvel inside, That woman’s EQ is really quite high! Look at how good she is with her words!

Suddenly, she became interested in that woman.

The man was about to reject Qiao Jingyun, but his girlfriend tiptoed next to him and whispered, “Agree to it.”

Agree to it?

A hint of confusion flashed across his face. Had his stupid girlfriend not wanted him to be mixing with Qiao Jingyun earlier, had she?

Why was she asking him to agree to it now?

Still, despite his confusion, as an obedient boyfriend, he followed his girlfriend’s wishes.

“I understand. We’ll be there then.”

After he said that, he hung up, not caring if the woman had anything else to say.

“What are you up to?” He asked his girlfriend the minute he hung up the call.

She smilingly wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on his body.

“You’re so great. I love you so much!”

The man’s earlobes turned red when he heard her say that.

“Cough,” he coughed lightly. Putting his palm on her back, he asked, “Speak. Did you ask me to agree to this because you have something in mind?”

“What can I have in mind? I just want to meet that benefactor of yours. I’m thinking that, no matter what, she’s still the person who saved your life; I should at least thank her in person as your girlfriend.” She grinned at him.

Hmph, hmph, hmph! Of course, she was also going there to declare war!

She refused to believe that that woman was unaware of her existence!

Anyway, she was going to show her how in love she and Ji Ziming were and how that Yunyun… had no chance at all!
