Chapter 916: I absolutely love… these dishes you made.

“Then, I’ll reluctantly be a good husband and a father!”
“Pfft!”
Pei Ge almost spat out the water in her mouth when she heard him joke.
However, when her gaze shifted onto Ji Ziming’s perfect face, she realized that he was not joking at all.
What he said might sound like a joke, but he was serious about it.
“My darling good husband and father, can you give me a chance to be a good wife and a mother?”
She smiled at him, her eyes gentle and tender.
“Of course, you can.”
With eyes full of affection, he smiled in return as well.
Just like this, the two sitting under the canopy looked at each other endearingly. A breeze blew slowly at the canopy, bringing with it the smell of the sea.
From afar, one could tell that the two within the thin veil were very much in love with each other.
Alas, an unperceptive person was bound to interrupt this romantic moment.
“Ziming, Miss Pei, are you guys having lunch?”
Just as the two were enjoying each other’s company, an unwanted guest spoke and interrupted the romance in the air.
Pei Ge snapped back to her senses and looked at the origin of the voice. She was not in the least bit surprised to see Qiao Jingyun appear before them in a deep V-shaped, white floral beach dress.
“What a coincidence; is Miss Qiao having a walk after lunch?”
Her lips curled into a grin.
She had started disliking this woman ever since learning that she had feelings for her fiancé.
After all, although she was generous, it only extended to those not eyeing her man!
“He he! Look at what Miss Pei is saying; it’s still early, so I of course haven’t had my lunch yet.”
Qiao Jingyun grinned at her openly.
“I’m very famished right now. I see that you both can’t finish these many dishes; why not—” Let me help you with some?!
Unexpectedly, the man cut her off midway.
“Jingyun, I only prepared food for two, and my fiancée’s appetite has always been big.”
He astutely rejected what she wanted to suggest, yet this fiancée of his found his reason for doing so to be hilarious.
She was quite happy that he rejected the woman without hesitation, but the reason he gave left her speechless as it tarnished her image by a bit.
Qiao Jingyun, for her part, was stunned by his rejection.
Still, she was much better than Pei Ge as she quickly regained her senses.
“Ah, if that’s the case, I really haven’t eaten, and it seems that I can only settle it myself!”
She smiled at him and did not pursue the topic.
“I’ll leave you two alone now; enjoy your meal, guys!”
She quickly left the canopy and confidently strode away.
Pei Ge nudged her lips and became downcast as she watched the woman leave elegantly.
She was obviously the winner in this, but… the woman’s reaction made it seem as if it were the opposite.
“Alright. Stop looking and eat.”
Ji Ziming saw her dazedly looking at the woman getting further away and lightly knocked on the table to get her attention.
She looked at her darling boyfriend.
“Why won’t you let me look at her?”
“…”
For a moment, the man scooping soup for her did not know what to say to his fiancée who was obviously venting her frustration on him.
“Don’t think about all this nonsense. Come have some soup.”
Seeing his gentle and loving look, all the anger and frustration in her vanished at once.
Forget it; anyway, Ziming doesn’t like that Qiao woman and merely treats her as his benefactor. The one whom he loves is me. Plus, not only am I his girlfriend and fiancée, I am also his future wife, so I really have nothing to worry about.
“Is it good?”
“Yes! Really tasty! I really love you to death!”
Using binoculars to spy on the couple that was on good terms just like before, Qiao Jingyun narrowed her eyes and pouted unhappily.
It was no wonder people said that those deeply in love could not be separated.
It was even more so for a man who was in love for the first time; no matter how proud and aloof he was, he would always put his mighty self away in front of the woman he loved.
At this thought, she felt heartache.
“Ji Ziming… you will definitely be mine.” As if a mantra, she kept repeating these words.
She did her best to calm her emotions, and not before long, her confident look reappeared.
Pei Ge, be happy while you still can because you don’t have much time left to be happy…
…
After having a sumptuous and romantic lunch, the couple strolled on the beach hand in hand.
Pei Ge kept rubbing her tummy while leaning her head on his shoulder.
“Ziming, when are we returning home? After today, tomorrow will be exactly one week since our departure.”
“Are you that anxious to return home?”
Ji Ziming arched a brow as a depressed look crept across his face.
Although a workaholic as well, he had this strong urge to leave everything behind and live the rest of his life here with her.
“It’s not that I’m anxious to return, but we really have work to do. You can’t just let your father do all the work for you.” She looked earnestly at him.
“Alright. I’m scared of you. Let’s return tomorrow.”
Once she received his affirmative answer, a bright smile appeared on her face.
“Mhm.”
We’re finally heading home tomorrow…
Although she could not bear to leave this place, she felt way happier going back home.
Mom, wait for me; I’m coming home!
