She awkwardly and courteously replied,””Thank you for your compliment, Irene. However, isn’t it a little late now? should we go in first? Don’t worry, we’ve brought the masks. You can put them on once you enter. ”
In order not to waste her time on this little girl’s flustered behavior, she could only change the subject and show her the mask she was holding.
Aileen heard this and looked as if she suddenly understood.
Retracting his envious gaze from her makeup and gown, he lightly patted his head and said,””Oh, that’s right. It’s all miss Pei PEI’s fault for dressing up so beautifully today. And with all due respect, you’re even prettier than miss si linna and sister INA. Even I’m drooling over you, and all my attention has been attracted to you!”
Then, she sneaked a glance at Cheng Ningyuan and continued,””Alright, this handsome and suave young man. Let’s hurry in. If we’re any later, I’m afraid I’ll really be fired by CEO Ji!”
!!With that, she gestured for the two to follow her.
PEI GE glanced at Cheng Ningyuan, and the latter understood her meaning. He elegantly and gentlemanly extended his left arm to form a circle for her to put her slender hand in. The two then walked into the hotel lobby with light steps.
The venue of the party was a sunken Hall, brightly lit, and soft piano music silently filled everyone’s ears from the dazzling ceiling, making them feel as if they were swimming in the elegant music Festival of Vienna.
The refreshing fragrance of lilies and white roses lingered around her. The exquisite arrangement of cold desserts and the occasional crisp wine glass made her very intoxicated.
Aileen led the two to the small bar where Ji Ziming was. As everyone was wearing a mask when they entered the bar, the two did not see who the man was talking to with his head lowered.
It was only when she brought PEI GE and Cheng ning far away that he hurriedly turned to look at them.
Who knew that this glance would cause his originally calm eyes to flash with joy? he raised the glass in his hand and gave the person he was conversing with a standard, commercial smile. “I’m sorry, I have a VIP here. Let’s talk later!”
The two naturally understood social etiquette. When they saw Ji Ziming eagerly walking over to Cheng Ningyuan and PEI GE, they immediately nodded and clinked their glasses with Ji Ziming before taking a sip of wine and leaving.
Aileen, of course, knew the type of mask Ji Ziming was wearing, which was why she brought PEI GE and Cheng Ningyuan to him. Relieved, she said,””CEO Ji, I’ve already brought miss Pei Pei and her male companion to see you as per your instructions!”
Ji Ziming slowly put down the glass of champagne he had just clinked with someone else and stared unblinkingly at the masked woman. Clearly, he was deeply attracted by her fairy-like outfit tonight.
It was only when she coughed lightly to remind him that he quickly retracted his passionate gaze and feigned calmness.””Alright, then there’s nothing else for you to do. You can go and do your things first.”
Aileen was already famished. Seeing so many delicious dishes, she immediately cheered,””Alright, President Ji!” He left quietly.
Only then did Ji Ziming notice Cheng Ningyuan, who was standing beside PEI GE. The happiness in his eyes disappeared as he feigned a cold tone and asked,””Pei Pei, this …” Ji Ziming carefully sized up Cheng Ningyuan again, but because he was wearing a mask, he could only ask,””Is this your male companion?”
PEI GE’s heart had not wavered since she entered. It seemed that Ji Ziming’s teasing in the morning had worked, so she coldly replied,””CEO Ji, our company’s freshmen welcoming party is really original. Not only did it almost make me lose my male partner, but it also has to be a mask party. Is it because jewelry design companies are all about innovation and extraordinary?”
Ji Ziming could tell that she was mocking his company’s Gala. Even though he felt uncomfortable hearing it, he held it in and pretended that nothing had happened. He lowered his head and thought about how he should explain it to her.
Thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was understandable to use this method to get closer to her.
Cheng Ningyuan, who was calmer, nudged her lightly with his elbow, telling her not to agitate the man too much.
A moment later, he raised his head and said,””Pei Pei, I know you don’t like these kinds of events, but you’ll be the chief designer in the future. It’s inevitable that you’ll attend these kinds of parties and activities often, so I’m letting you get used to it in advance. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can try to overcome it yourself. You still have to participate appropriately.”
PEI GE knew that Cheng Ningyuan was trying to calm her down, so her tone softened when she heard Ji Ziming’s words.”I really don’t like it, but like you said, I’ll try my best to adapt to my work and social life in the future!” After that, she uncomfortably picked up the champagne on the small bar and took a sip.
As she was wearing a mask, the man could not sense her uneasiness and slight surprise. Seeing her drink the glass of wine he had just put down, a smile appeared on his lips. It was only because she could not see his expression that he tried to ask,””Pei Pei, since you’re here, let go. Can I have a dance with you?”
As he spoke, he bent one hand behind his back and extended the other to her.
Of course, Cheng Ningyuan was a little displeased, but under his mask, he could only watch everything quietly. He knew that even if he did not like the two dancing, he could not stop them from doing so.
If not for the mask, the two men would have been able to see the blush on her face.
For some reason, at this moment, she was actually enjoying the dance party with a mask on because it seemed to be easier to disguise herself.
Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, Cheng Ningyuan, who was standing beside her, noticed Ji Ziming’s strange behavior and asked,””Pei Pei, are you willing to have the first dance with him?”
Ji Ziming’s hand froze in mid-air. He was not Shen Feng, so why did he call her ‘Pei Pei’ so affectionately?
She hesitated for a moment.””I …”
