Chapter 898: You do not want to be with me that much?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
By the time Ji Ziming saw his fiancée, she was already looking as listless as a frostbitten tomato.
With a frown, he quickly made his way over.
“What’s wrong?” softly asked the man while gently holding her hands.
“Ziming, what should we do? Our mothers are making us go to five different places for our wedding photoshoot.”
She looked at him helplessly. Being an absolute homebody, she truly did not like traveling to faraway places!
This was especially since those places were truly far away. Moreover, they were five of them! Just thinking about was causing her to have a meltdown!
More importantly, she had an important project to settle!
The man raised an eyebrow at this. “Why? You don’t want to take wedding photos with me?”
“Aiya, it’s not about wanting it or not wanting it. The point here is—”
Before she could finish speaking, both their mothers appeared in the living room with wide smiles.
“Son, I’ve discussed it with Manhua. When you and Ge Ge take your wedding photos, make a trip to these places…”
She listed off those few places she had discussed with Pei Ge’s mother. His mother also did not forget to mention the concepts they wanted them to incorporate in their wedding photos.
After hearing the details, Ji Ziming understood at once the reason for his fiancée’s listlessness.
Of course, it was because it was too troublesome!
It truly was extremely troublesome!
Not only must they go to five different places, they were even obliged to incorporate those concepts in their wedding photos; flying in the sky or diving deep into the ocean were even included in those!
Still…
As a corollary, amid Pei Ge’s expectant gaze, he replied, “Okay. I understand.”
Still, he liked it!
The man slightly nodded and quickly assented to the wills of their mothers without a second of hesitation.
“…”
The woman beside the man eyed him as though he were possessed, totally not expect him to agree to it!
He acquiesced readily to boot!
Both mothers nodded in satisfaction at his reply.
After a short while, the couple left the Ji family’s villa.
They came as a group of three, but when they left, only the couple got in the car, whereas Zhang Manhua was dragged to go shopping by Madam Ji.
Hence, the moment they got in the car, Pei Ge immediately launched revolt.
“Ji Ziming, how could you just agree to them?! We only have a week of break!”
She glared at him in dissatisfaction. It was not that she did not want to have a longer vacation with him.
It was just that she truly wanted to achieve something worthy and gain a firm foothold in the Ji Group before they got married.
She did not want others to say that she climbed up the ranks by riding on her fiancé’s coattails.
Hence, she wanted to return to the company and wrap up that project with Fu Mingxuan.
“Then, let’s take a one-month leave.”
With a calm expression, the man casually made this decision.
“…” Speechless, she was at a loss on what to say.
In the end, she slightly snorted and then resolutely faced the window. She was evidently sulking.
The man’s lips curled up in amusement when he saw her angry appearance.
“Are you angry?”
His soft question did not earn him a reply.
“Fine. We’ll just have a week’s break.”
He could only helplessly accede when she truly seemed to be angry.
The latter immediately turned to look at him.
“What about the wedding photoshoot?”
“We won’t take that many sets, alright?”
His eyes were filled with tenderness and amusement.
“That’s more like it!”
The woman’s eyes curved into two crescent moons when she received this reply.
“Hey! Are you this much unwilling to spend time with me?”
Seeing her expression turn from gloomy to sunny, he instantly felt a little grumpy and glared at her petulantly.
“Ziming, it’s not that; I just have an unfinished project at hand, and it’s at the most critical stage right now. I can’t just go off like that.” She sighed helplessly.
She actually wanted to spend some time alone with him, but the project she had at hand…
“You could just pass it to someone else.”
He raised an eyebrow at her. He was already feeling displeased about that project she had with Fu Mingxuan; now, his dislike for that project increased further. If not for the person in charge of the project being her, he would probably already stop it from progressing.
Cough, cough, cough! Still, of course, if not for her, he would also not hate that clearly profitable project.
…
Ji family’s villa.
After the young couple’s departure, the three adults departed as well.
Mister Ji went to play chess with his friends, whereas Madam Ji and Zhang Manhua went out shopping as they continued their discussion of the couple’s wedding.
Before long, only the servants were left in the house.
“Actually, I still don’t get why our handsome young master likes that kind of woman so much.”
“Indeed, Miss Pei’s looks can’t even compare to mine!”
“Tsk! Even if she can’t compare to you, she will still become our Ji family’s young madam.”
While these few female servants were having an animated discussion, Sister Yun left the inside of the villa for a secluded corner of the courtyard.
Scouring her surroundings and making sure that no one was around, she quietly took out her phone and made a call.
“Hello, is this Miss Qiao?” She softly spoke on the phone when the call connected. “Our young master is preparing to bring that woman overseas for their wedding photoshoot… Yes, they’ll apparently visit a few places for that… I overheard them mentioning Provence, Maldives, Greece, Guilin, and Yunnan… Okay, I got it. I’ll call you again if there’s more…
“By the way, that woman and her mother are truly good at sucking up to our young master’s family. Apparently, she got into a car accident that time when young master was kidnapped…”
