Chapter 869 - Thankful to you for appearing in his life.
“He he. Ge Ge, ignore him. This awkward old man just wants you to call him dad! Let’s ignore him!”
Hearing that, her eyes widened in disbelief.
“D-Dad?!” she said instinctively.
Of course, she was not referring to him; it was just her mumbling to herself out loud, but she did not expect someone to be mistaken.
Immediately after she said that, she saw a certain ‘dad’ open his mouth to speak.
“En. You’re the Ji family’s daughter-in-law from here on, so you must take care of your image when you’re outside.”
“…” Pei Ge: I wasn’t really addressing him earlier…
She disregarded their cold treatment and enthusiastically kept chatting with them.
Both paused when they heard her words.
The woman did not expect that she would have a strong mentally to say something like that.
The man, meanwhile, thought that she could not be righter!
“Right, Ziming, when are you two getting married? I’ve got to prepare a nice gift for you two!”
Qiao Jingyun smiled at him, her tone sounding sincere.
“The exact date hasn’t been set yet, but it should be quite soon.”
Perhaps because of her earlier words, he replied to her question rather warmly.
“Ah! I gotta hurry up in preparing my gift for you two, then!” she said with urgency.
Pei Ge felt a little uneasy as this woman stood next to her fiancé with a seemingly unpretentious behavior.
She was a little confused on what was going on in this woman’s mind.
She clearly liked him, too, but why was she pretending that their relationship was merely platonic, acting like a kind-hearted, younger sister?
This is a little frightening!
