Pei Ge began to interrogate her fiancé the minute they got home.
Both their mothers tactfully left the couple alone to deal with their issues.
The instant Ji Ziming closed the door and she set her bag down, she began grilling him for an explanation.
“Now, speak; what is all this about? Weren’t we only gone for a week? Why is there so much bad stuff about us online? I don’t think I’ve done anything to warrant that.”
The man curled his lips hopelessly when she looked at him squarely and came close to her.
“You’ve done nothing wrong. It’s me who failed to deal with this matter properly.”
She was even more confused when she heard him say that.
“You’ve been saying since earlier that this matter was caused by you? What did you do exactly? Haven’t you been with me? What does this have to do with you?”
He gently took her hands and replied, “It’s definitely caused by me sine I didn’t deal with things properly. If I didn’t make that call, things…” He explained everything to her calmly.
Listening to the words being uttered by him in a cold voice, she finally understood what he meant.
She also finally understood what was up with those people.
“You’re not really to blame for this, though; those people said too much online.”
She pursed her lips and looked at him tenderly.
“You don’t blame me?” asked the man lightly.
She blinked and then pouted, saying cheekily, “I don’t blame you, but!”
“En?” He prompted with a frown.
“There’s no next time! The next time we encounter something like this, you can’t keep it from me. We can solve it together; I don’t want to be hiding behind you all the time!”
She looked him squarely in the eye. Her fair, round face had a serious expression.
It was clear how serious she was about this.
Ji Ziming kept quiet for a moment. Eventually, he gave in under her piercing stare and nodded reluctantly. “Fine. I’ll try.”
“What do you mean you’ll try?!” She pouted unhappily and glared at him when she heard his reply.
“It means that I’ll try my best. Sometimes, I may be unable to control myself.”
He looked at her helplessly, noting that he was unlike himself when it came to this woman’s matters.
Sometimes, he could not even calm down if it something had to do with her.
The last time, for example, was a wrong move.
Thus, on top of those posts about her not decreasing, they even proliferated and created the opposite effect.
“Fine. You try!”
Even though she was not very satisfied with the man’s answer, she understood where he was coming from. After all, like the man, she would lose her cool when it came to matters involving him.
From a different viewpoint, was that not an illustration of his feelings for her?
At this thought, she became happy again.
“Okay, okay! Let’s hurry up! Our moms are waiting for us to eat together!”
“En, wasn’t I just answering your questions?”
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s all on me. Let’s go!”
“Okay.”
“Wait! Before we leave, should I wear a pair of sunglasses to cover my face?”
“No need; let’s go like this. I’ve got you covered.”
“Hmph! Here you go again; we just talked about it, and you’re ignoring me again.”
While the two got ready to leave for lunch, Qiao Jingyun arrived at her home.
However, unlike the couple, her apartment was empty, and there was no one for her to eat lunch with.
She put down her bags and changed into comfy slippers before heading to the bedroom.
After all, she did travel rather far and spent a long time on the plane, so she was a little tired.
As she headed to her room, she took out her phone.
This was her extremely private phone. All the contacts on it were rather shady.
Thus, she did not bring it with her to Greece and left it turned off at home.
When she turned on her phone, she was surprised to find several missed calls.
She sat down on her big, wooden bed with eyes full of confusion.
“Pei Shishi?”
The person who had called her was none other than that woman.
Other than that woman, no one else called her.
Just as she was feeling confused, she saw a text from her and decided to return the call before going to bed.
Since the message said to call her as soon as she saw it, Qiao Jingyun dialed that woman’s number.
After a few rings, the phone was quickly picked up by Pei Shishi.
“You finally called me back. I thought something happened to you.”
The moment the call went through, she heard the woman’s mocking voice.
“Heh! You called me so many times; don’t tell me it’s only for mocking me.” She sneered derisively, unbothered by the other’s words.
“Of course not. I have some matters to discuss with you. Let’s meet and talk.”
“Meet and talk? What can’t you say over the phone?”
She replied plainly as she frowned. After a long-distance flight, she did not want to go out.
“Of course, it’s something important.” The woman on the other end laughed, her tone rather pompous.
“I’m sorry; I don’t want to talk about anything right now. Let me fix my jet lag first before—”
Pei Shishi cut her off before she could finish her speaking. “Bai Yang forest.”
