Chapter 1774: Even Worse than a Male Chauvinist

Pei Ge turned around and looked at her with even more sincerity. “I actually don’t know anything, nor do I know how much she has kept in her heart. I’ve been busy with my own matters ever since I returned to the country. I almost forgot that there’s a girl waiting patiently for my reply overseas.”

Pei Ge looked pained as she thought of Tang Xiaoyu and Gu Zhengrong. However, after they returned to the country, Gu Zhengrong seemed to have disappeared as well. No one knew what happened between Tang Xiaoyu and Gu Zhengrong and no one knew what she was thinking.

“Ge Ge, don’t worry. I think that in Tang Xiaoyu’s heart, the more important someone is, the less she will tell them how she truly feels. Just like how you comforted me just now, in your uncle’s heart, I may be the most important person, so I now understand one thing. Some things really can’t be seen from the surface. The more intimate a person is, the more they can’t say it.”

“You’re right. After all, Tang Xiaoyu is no longer a child. After all, I know that we all have our own lives.”

Pei Ge nodded her head and looked at her with even more admiration. “Nana, I realized that you’re really quick-witted. I just told you this, yet you’re already using it to comfort me.”

“Of course. You also praised me for my eloquence back then.”

Mao Nana looked proud as she glanced at the door. The crystal lights at the door were lit up, but her sharp eyes spotted a figure on the golden tiles at the door. The moment the lights were turned on, that figure quickly left her door.

So you’ve been here all along. It’s just another way.

“Ge Ge, your uncle was at the door earlier.”

Mao Nana looked at the door and waited for the person to disappear before she spoke to Pei Ge.

“How did you know?”

Pei Ge knew this all along but was afraid that she would feel pressured and did not say it out loud.

Although the door was closed very loudly when Qu Xiujie left, the lock was locked from the inside and all the doors would not be closed. Furthermore, the house had the best soundproofing. If the door was closed, Qu Xiujie would not be able to hear the two women’s conversation.

“Because I just saw him.”

Mao Nana was surprised and her voice was filled with joy. “Ge Ge, that’s why I said that your uncle really didn’t intend for me to leave the house.”

It was as if she had guessed what was on his mind. It was also as if she knew that she would never leave this house. Right now, no matter what she did or did, she was full of confidence.

“This…”

Pei Ge clearly remembered that she seemed to have said that to comfort Mao Nana, but seeing how the latter was feeling satisfied inside, she did not say anything else. As long as it was something she liked, so what if she said more?

“Ge Ge, I just think that your uncle isn’t as bad as the outside world makes him out to be. I think that he’s just pretending to be bad for others to see.”

“You already know my uncle so well; are you sure?”

Pei Ge nodded and her heart was filled with joy when she saw Mao Nana’s confidence.

“I’m sure and certain.”

Mao Nana’s voice was crisp and clear. No matter how long had pa.s.sed, she would never forget how she was humiliated by Qu Xiujie just now.

“Alright, then I wish you both a blissful marriage and a happy child.”

Pei Ge blinked her eyes teasingly. Seeing her bright eyes, her heart brightened.

Her best friend would eventually become a family with her.

“Ge Ge, please pa.s.s the books on the coffee table to me. I’m too bored sitting on the bed.”

Mao Nana pointed at the basic finance magazine on the coffee table. Pei Ge just casually picked it up and saw that Bi Zheng’s name on the magazine’s cover was written in Li style calligraphy. Chinese people who could be on par with foreign magazines were never simple.

Just as Pei Ge was feeling agitated over Bi Zheng’s name, Mao Nana poured a bucket of water over her heart.

“Ge Ge, is this man your ex-boyfriend?”

What ex-boyfriend? What is an ex-boyfriend? Is it edible?

“I say, Nana, how did you know that this is my ex-boyfriend? Why didn’t you say that this is Ji Ziming?”

Pei Ge blushed with shame. She really could not fathom the ident.i.ty of her ex-boyfriend and husband.

“No, Ji Ziming is better looking than this ex-boyfriend. He has charisma and money.”

Mao Nana’s sudden act of being a little woman and her mischievous and cute look made one feel happy, but Pei Ge, who was standing opposite her, did not feel happy at all.

“Ge Ge, I’m telling you. You must hold on to a good man like Ji Ziming. If I s.n.a.t.c.h him away, you’ll cry.”

Mao Nana laughed out loud after saying that, not caring that the wound on her leg was still hurting.

“…”

Pei Ge was at a loss for words. She took out the magazine with Bi Zheng’s introduction and wanted to hold it in front of Ji Ziming, but Mao Nana s.n.a.t.c.hed it away in the next second.

“What are you looking at, ex-boyfriend? I’ll help you look after him. You just need to remember that you have Ji Ziming now. Ji Ziming is better looking than this, more handsome than this. Really, trust my judgment.”

Mao Nana nodded and pretended to have a unique taste as she continued explaining, “Ge Ge, to be honest, this ex-boyfriend looks pretty good.”

“Nana, that’s not my ex-boyfriend. He’s my friend’s boyfriend.”

Pei Ge wanted to cry but had no tears. Why did she only realize now that Mao Nana only had one scripture in her head and it was straight?

Even worse than a male chauvinist.

“He isn’t?”

Mao Nana felt that her reason was a little far-fetched. Was it true or not? Why did she remember that Pei Ge’s ex-boyfriend had the same face as the man in the magazine? Could it be that she was face-blind? However, she, who had always been in the modeling world, could not be face-blind. Otherwise, how could she differentiate between those young models and those old models?

“Yes, Nana, you’re really mistaken. Give me the magazine. I want to see what my friend says in it.”
