As Pei Ge busied herself with the project, the day of her wedding with Ji Ziming drew ever closer.
Even though she did not spend much effort on her wedding with him, both their mothers spent a third of their days on it.
Therefore, despite less than a month of preparation, both were able to make the wedding a grand affair.
Of course, her fiancé played a part in the grandness of this affair.
Even though he did not spend all his time on the wedding preparation like their mothers, he paid more attention to it than anyone else.
A lot of times, the lavish decorations of the wedding came from him.
As the bride of the wedding, she was the most ‘unconcerned person’ of all. She was just a small manager and not the company president, but she was busier than anyone else.
“Look at our Ge Ge. Those who don’t know will surely assume that she’s the company’s big boss from how busy she is that she doesn’t even have time for her wedding.”
Zhang Manhua began grumbling to her in-law at dinnertime one day.
The Ji couple was unbothered by her complaints.
Especially Mister Ji, not only was he not unhappy, he even approved of it.
“It’s fine. Pretty good.”
He set his teacup down and then looked at Pei Ge with a tender smile.
“I heard that you’re recently busy with the Fu’s joint project.”
“Yes.”
She nodded astutely when the man asked about it, acting like a student being questioned by her teacher.
“How’s that project coming along? From what I gathered, it’s a suburban resort project, so there’s bound to be huge profits from it.” The man nodded approvingly.
“The project’s coming along fine with the active participation of the people on CEO Fu’s end. If things continue like this, the company will be making large profits from this project by the end of the year…”
His satisfaction grew at her clear analysis.
The expression on his face became increasingly radiant.
Looking at his beloved woman and father getting along, Ji Ziming felt happy as well.
However, he was a little unhappy, too.
That was because this stupid woman was neglecting him for work!
“Okay, okay. We’re eating now. Can’t you all talk about work at the dinner table? Eat!”
Madam Ji could not stand it any longer and put her hands down on the table to cut off the two people’s conversation.
Under her orders, the two ate obediently without talking about work.
“Ge Ge, have more of this; mom knows that you like this.”
“Manhua, let’s have more of this papaya brewed with hasma; it’s good for your skin. Ming Ming, don’t just get more food for your fiancée; Manhua and I are still sitting here.”
A heartwarming lunch passed in a harmonious and happy note.
The two families chatted at the pavilion in the garden as they bathed in the sun after lunch.
“Ge Ge, are you still busy with work these days?” Madam Ji asked after she took a sip of her rose tea.
“I’m not busy. I’m done with the bulk of it.” She smiled at the middle-aged woman.
“Sigh! Lass, were you working nonstop on that project to get it done before the wedding?”
Madam Ji smilingly shook her head upon seeing the relaxed expression on her face.
“Yes, mom. I feel more secure if all the work is done.”
Of course, most importantly, she felt a little more confident to marry him this way.
At this thought, she sneaked a peek at the man playing chess with his father under the tree.
Her expression turned tender when she looked at the man bathed in sunlight under the tree.
This man whom countless people fantasized about was hers.
“Lass, what more secure? Why would you have no sense of security marrying into our Ji family?” The man’s mother grabbed her palms and started chiding her gently. “By marrying into my family, mom here can guarantee you a comfortable life. We definitely won’t let anyone bully you.”
The mother-daughter pair was touched by her words.
In truth, the two had trepidations regarding both families’ different social status. If they got together, there might be quite a number of problems.
They really did not expect Pei Ge’s soon-to-be mother-in-law to be this understanding.
The Jis might be an elite family that most people could not match, but having spent time with them, the mother-daughter pair realized that things were not as they had imagined.
“Mom, thank you,” muttered Pei Ge with a smile.
“Okay. You don’t have to be so formal with me. Since you’re not busy anymore, let’s talk about your wedding with my son next week.”
“Yeah. We didn’t dare to impose on you given how busy you were these last few days. Now that you’re not busy, listen to how your wedding will be held.”
As such, both mothers began to brief her about next week’s wedding.
She spaced out a little as she listened to their explanation.
She kept thinking that it had not been too long since her engagement party with the man was held, and now that their wedding was approaching, it made her feel as if she were living in a dream.
It’s too fast… she muttered to herself subconsciously.
“It’s not fast at all. I even think that it’s a little slow.”
Her mumbling was overheard by the man, and he whispered his thoughts in his cold voice to her ear.
“If possible, I’d like to marry you today.”
Lifting her head, she saw the man staring at her with a heated gaze.
