532: Is the two of us cohabiting that big of an issue?

Is the two of us cohabiting that big of an issue?

"Seriously, this annoying fellow. Why is he calling me this early?" She picked up the call after mumbling this.2

"Hello, Ziming. What are you calling me for this early in the morning?" she asked right away.

She herself did not notice how natural she sounded when she called his name. In fact, there was even a hint of intimacy when she called him, as if they were a real couple.

"… Must I call you for a reason?" The man's low voice came through the receiver.

Pei Ge could not help nudging her lips at that.

"Yes, yes, yes. As the big boss, you, of course, can call me anytime," she muttered.

"Pei Ge, are you forgetting what day today is?" he asked all of a sudden.

"Hmm? What day?" She blinked, confused.

Is today an important day?

"Pei Ge, don't tell me you don't remember that today is Monday!" He was instantly irked when he heard her voice filled with confusion.

Can this dumb woman even remember anything?!

"Ah, Monday. Of course, I know. Isn't it just moving house? What's so special about that?" she mumbled, cradling her phone.

It's just moving house. What's so exceptional about that?

"…" The man's breath hitched at her relaxed attitude, feeling extremely stifled inside.

"Is that unimportant to you?!" He could not help voicing out his true thoughts.

"Huh? I don't think it's really important…" She mumbled this amid his frustration.

"…" The man felt as if he could choke from anger at her response.

This dumb woman! Is it such a casual thing for her to cohabit with me? Doesn't she have any other reaction?

She's actually this calm!

Is it really as this dumb woman has said? Does she really not treat me as a man?!

"Ziming?" His silence and ragged breathing made her feel perplexed.

Is this annoying fellow okay?

He tried to control his emotion at her concerned tone.

Calm down! When this dumb woman starts living with me, she'll have all the time to know whether I'm a man or not!

"Pack up and come down."

Once he said that, he hung up the phone coolly.

She blinked at her phone, clueless on what had just transpired.

"This annoying fellow isn't making any sense at all…"

Placing her phone at the side, she started arranging her things into her luggage.

Although she had already packed her stuff into her luggage last night, there were still some things she had not put into it for she needed them in the morning.

When she was done packing all her stuff, she dragged her big luggage out of her room and into the living room.

"Ge Ge, have you packed all your clothes and daily necessities?" her mother asked with a smile.

She nodded and smiled as well. "Yes, I've packed everything."

"Quickly have breakfast, then! You won't be able to eat mom's cooking after you move to your company's dormitory." Zhang Manhua smiled at her daughter. Her unwillingness to part with her daughter was evident on her face.

"I understand!" Seeing the longing in her mother's eyes, she softly reassured, "Mom, don't be too worried; I'll come back to visit you whenever I have free time!"

"Mhm…" Zhang Manhua's eyes gathered moist, yet she still put on a smile while gently reminding, "Always take note of your actions and words when you live with your colleagues. Be more considerate of others and don't quarrel with them. Sometimes, it's better to lose a little."

"I got it, Mom. Don't worry."

After a breakfast filled with warmth and longing, she left home under her mother's reluctant gaze.

Bang!

Having rejected her mother's offer to accompany her downstairs, she was currently dragging her luggage while complaining about the lack of elevator in this apartment building.

"Sigh… Why did I rent such a place without an elevator back then?" She was depressed as she dragged her heavy luggage.

Bang! Bang! Bang… Her luggage repeatedly thumping against the staircase made her feel frustrated.

She was even thinking of how she could move this heavy luggage up four levels when she returned home.

"This is killing me…" Parking the luggage on the stairs, she moved to use her other hand to half-lift and half-drag it down the stairs.

Just as she resumed walking, her phone rang.

At the incessant ringing, she put down her luggage and fished out her phone from her handbag to answer the call.

"Hello…"

Before she could say anything, a man's low voice sounded clearly through the line.

"Why aren't you down here yet?"

The person calling was, of course, the great CEO Ji.

As she was already feeling frustrated with her heavy luggage, she could not help throwing a fit at the hint of impatience in his voice.

"What are you hurrying me for?! I'm already out of my house and on my way down!" Amid her panting, she grumbled indignantly, "If you can still breezily walk down four flights of stairs while carrying a luggage a few kilograms heavy, I'll take your surname!"

She was probably made muddle-headed by her frustration, his impatient voice, her bad… or a hodge-podge of everything, so she thoughtlessly blurted out such a thing.

"…" The great CEO, who seemed to have been rendered in shock, fell silent as a corollary of her declaration.

After a while, he spoke again. "Pei Ge, you'd better remember your words."

Huh? Remember what?
