Chapter 178 - Say it aloud if you like it!
Pei Ge passed the day in a muddle-headed state. Even after she got off work, she still could not wrap her head around everything she had recalled earlier.
She was in a daze the whole day and really could not fathom why her cousin would plot against her like that.
She had never offended her. Furthermore, after her father died, she did not have anything on her that would entice others to scheme against her.
She was such a simple person, so why did Pei Shishi—
The ringing sound of her hand phone interrupted her train of thoughts.
Whipping out her hand phone, the sight of the caller ID reminded Pei Ge of her date tonight.
“Hello, Dr. Chen,” she quickly answered the call.
“Really?!” Her eyes shone brighter. Swallowing her saliva, she asked meekly, “Then… Shall we have dinner here?”
“Why? Are you unwilling to eat here? If you dislike it, we can find another place to have dinner.” At that, Chen Zhengchu pretended to want to leave.
This act of his totally tricked the startled her, who quickly pulled on his arm and said, “No, don’t go! I am pretty willing to have dinner here.”
Only after saying this did she realize that his gaze was on her hands, which were pulling on his arm.
As though she had touched something hot, she promptly released his arm.
Abashed, she glanced up at the man and whispered, “I was too anxious just now….”
He probably did not like people touching him, so he had such a big reaction.
“It is fine.” He smiled warmly and gently at her and softly said, “Pei Ge, say it aloud if you like it.”
“Er…” She looked at him with confusion. Did he say that because of my action just now?
“Dr. Chen, I was only…” Just as she was trying to explain herself, his next words once more gave her a shock.
“Pei Ge, I like you and think that you are a good woman. Let’s… try dating with marriage in mind.”
