Chapter 1209: You must cherish her properly this time.
“There are also important figures from other companies who will be joining. Apparently, the gamble this time is big.”
Pei Ge could not help but roll her eyes inwardly as she heard him go on and on.
She truly did not know why this man was forcing her to participate in such a ret*rd*d event.
Even if the attendees were people like Ji Ziming, whom others flocked, the fact that the game was ret*rd*d could not be denied!
“Not going. Mr. Mu, I’m very busy and don’t have time for such a game that bored young masters like you play.”
Seeing that he was about to continue rambling, she wordlessly pursed her lips and patted the table.
Pak! With this sound, he finally stopped talking.
“Regina, let’s go. I promise that you’ll definitely gain something out of it.”
After a short silent, his languidness was replaced by seriousness.
She was not swayed by it, though, and still resolutely rejected him.
“I’ve never relied on others to get ahead. I can achieve what I want with my hands.”
“It is different this time.”
His gaze was still fixed on her while he felt bitter inside.
This time, he wanted to help her and his childhood friend get together.
He had helped them get together in the past, too. Now, he still... wanted these two people, who were in love with each other, to patch up and get back together, despite her being the woman he liked.
“There’s nothing different about it. If you have nothing else, you can leave now. I still have work to do.”
With a frigid expression, she coldly ordered him to leave again.
Seeing that she remained adamant about not going, he pressed his lips together. In the end, he had to resort to threatening her.
“I know that you’re behind the Pei Family Real Estate’s chaos.”
This statement made her face turn icy as she tilted her head to look at him.
“If you don’t want your plan to be spoiled by me, attend that event with me as my partner this weekend.”
He coughed lightly, feeling awkward when he noticed the coldness in her eyes.
Since when had he threatened a woman to be his partner?
If this were to be leaked out, what face would he have left, and how would he continue flirting with girls?!
“...”
Pei Ge narrowed her eyes as she sized up the man threatening her. After a long silence, she spoke coldly.
“How do you know that?”
“Cough! Don’t look down on me. No matter what, I am still the Mu family’s second young master.”
Although he was a person who had no significant contribution to society, his identity was still there.
Moreover, without him delving deeply into this, provided that he knew Regina was Pei Ge, it would be very clear that she was behind the Pei family’s present situation.
He did not even need to expend any resources to find out about this.
“How is it? Will you agree to being my partner now?”
“...” She sucked in a deep breath and swept him a cold and sharp gaze. Finally, she answered through gritted teeth, “Fine; I’ll go!”
“He he! Should’ve said so long ago! You just had to force me to do this.”
He immediately sighed in relief before whistling.
“I’ll come pick you up at your house when the time comes!”
“...”
The man’s bright smile hurt her eyes, giving her the urge to stomp on his face.
“Alright. I’ll take my leave now! Continue with your work! Bye!”
With that, he happily left.
Her emotions could not calm down as she watched him leave.
Pak!
She smacked the desk hard with her palms.
“D*mn it!”
She was actually threatened by that playboy, and she had even given in!
After taking a few deep breaths, she finally expelled the suffocating feeling inside her.
However, while she had calmed down on her end, Ji Ziming was being made to feel suffocated by a certain fellow.
“Are you really not going?”
The man, who kept approving the documents with his head lowered, gave a casual reply to his friend about attending that lame event.
“Not going.”
His nonchalance made Mu Heng smile wider as he put out a bait.
“Don’t regret it later, then, especially since Regina will be attending it, too!”
Indeed, the moment he said this, the man, who had been indifferent just then, looked up at once.
“What did you say?”
He narrowed his eyes with a solemn look.
“I said that Regina will also attend this time’s hunting game!”
Seeing that his best friend had finally raised his head to look at him, he repeated his words smugly.
“Impossible.” Why would she attend that kind of event?
The two had similar reactions when they heard that the other was attending such an event.
“It’s true. She’ll indeed join this time. How is it? Are you coming?” asked the other unhurriedly.
His unhurried manner made it clear that he was certain his friend would take the bait.
“...When is it?”
Although he had already expected Ji Ziming to attend the event, he still felt a little indisposed when he truly agreed.
“This weekend, but remember to bring your girlfriend along as I partner with Regina.”
With that, he immediately moved to leave the man’s office.
Although he had done this in hopes of the two patching things up, he still felt a little uncomfortable inside.
That was because... one of them was the woman he liked.
Just as he reached the door and was about to step out, he spoke again. “I hope that you’ll cherish her properly this time.”
Otherwise, all that I am doing now will become a joke.
