Chapter 332: We should talk about that CEO Ji of yours.

After Tang Xiaoyu placed everything back to their original place, she climbed back into the bed and lay next to Pei Ge.

Pak!

Pei Ge switched off the light once she settled comfortably in the bed.

In the dark room, the two did not close their eyes to sleep but faced each other to chat softly, instead.

“Ge Ge, tell me about your CEO Ji,” Tang Xiaoyu softly requested with a grin.

“Tell me about your boyfriend, then. I still don’t know how he looks like, what his name is, or even his nationality,” she countered.

She had shared everything with her best friend, but the latter, in contrast, would not even tell her the name of the person she liked.

When the other merely remained silent, she whispered her guess, “You haven’t told me even now; could it be that... the person you like is a woman?”

“... Pfft! What kind of stupid thinking is that?! I’m straight! Besides, if I like women, do you think you will be safe till now?” she happily countered.

Pei Ge laughed at her questions. “Yes, yes, yes. You don’t like women, and I’m stupid.”

Tang Xiaoyu looked at her unclear face and turned to lie on her back to gaze up unseeingly at the dark ceiling.

“Gu Zhengrong.”

“Is that your boyfriend’s name?” She was taken aback when her best friend finally relented and revealed her boyfriend’s name.

“Mhm-mhm. His name is Gu Zhengrong. He is three years my senior and is an American of Chinese descent,” she affirmed.

However, for some reason, Pei Ge felt that there was something amiss.

“Then... How did you two meet?” she asked in a whisper.

“We? We met because of a letter,” she replied curtly.

“A letter?” She was extremely curious by now.

“Yes, a letter. It’s a letter that was mailed wrongly...” she trailed off, sounding distant and foreign to Pei Ge’s ears.

“Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore. He is very boring; he has no interests or hobbies, dislikes speaking, and is always occupied with work,” she said dismissively and fussily.

She smiled at her complaining voice.

How was this foreign? This was clearly the Tang Xiaoyu she knew!

“Now to reciprocate; let’s talk about your CEO Ji.” Tang Xiaoyu turned and grinned teasingly at her.

“He and I—” She moved to say that they had no relation but was interrupted.

“You’re forbidden from saying that you two have no relation! You already had your one-night stand with him and currently work at his company. You always see each other, so how can there be no relation?”

“There really is no relation; I’m not lying to you. Besides, do you honestly believe that the two of us have a possibility?” her mouth twitched as she seriously asked this.

“... Then, do you like him?” Tang Xiaoyu was silent for a while before asking softly. This time, her voice did not have a trace of teasing.

“Like?” She was momentarily stunned and then smiled faintly. “This has got nothing to do with that. What does it matter whether I like him or not? Besides, we are like parallel lines, coinciding with each other but never once meeting.”

Whether I like him or not, it does not matter.

One must have self-awareness, right?

“Actually, he likes you right? Otherwise, he would not drive over to fetch you and would not... make you his secretary,” Tang Xiaoyu said softly.

“Hey, Xiaoyu! You can only say that because you have only seen him a few times.” She shot the blurry face of Tang Xiaoyu an indignant look and then laughingly said, “How can he like me? He already said it himself that he doesn’t like me and even asked me not to think too highly of myself.”

Hearing her words, Tang Xiaoyu was relieved for a moment. This was actually for the best.

In her eyes, her best friend was the absolute best, and no one was really worthy to have her, yet... that man’s identity and background were not quite fit with her best friend’s.

If the two really had any encounter or got into a relationship, she would always worry over her best friend getting hurt.

That was something she was unwilling to see the most, so...

It was best if Pei Ge and that man did not like each other.

If the relationship was purely that of a superior and a subordinate, then that would be ideal.

Boss and secretary; this was the perfect relationship for the two.

“He he! I think he is not worthy of our Ge Ge. Wait for me; I’ll make sure to find you some decent and handsome guys!” she whispered between giggles.

“No, no, no. I’m already *** with my blind dates, and I don’t want to have another of yours,” she rejected firmly, feeling scared.

“Pfft! Don’t tell me you don’t want to go on blind dates anymore now that you have a gay shield?” she teased.

“Mhm, a little. I just feel that it’s fine like this.” Pei Ge smiled at the thought of Wen Qimo.

“Don’t turn the performance into a reality.” She laughed when she saw her smile.

“How is that possible? How can we fall in love with different gender preferences?” she asked cheekily.

“Ha ha ha! ‘Different gender preferences’! That’s so hilarious!” She laughed aloud despite not knowing what had tickled her funny bones.

Pei Ge saw her laughing happily and hurriedly shushed her, “Shhh! Not so loud; my mom is sleeping.”

“Oh!” She immediately quieted down.

After a while, she slowly spoke, “Ge Ge, if your house’s soundproofing is so bad, why don’t you consider moving elsewhere?”

“I have considered doing so, but we just don’t have enough money on hand, and there hasn’t been any suitable house listing,” she answered gloomily.

“In fact, I’d like to buy a house, but properties in Beijing are too expensive, so I think that will remain as just my wistful thinking.”

“Don’t say that; your salary is rather high now, and Chenguang Real Estate is progressing well. I think if you continue working hard, your future is bound to be bright. Buying a house is definitely not just a dream for you,” she encouraged.

Her heart warmed at her words and she nodded. “Mhm! I’ll continue to work hard and buy a house eventually!”

The sky was darkening further, and the sounds outside the window were slowly fading. Soon, the noise produced by their laughter and chattering ebbed as well.

Pei Ge and Tang Xiaoyu, thus, entered dreamland with smiles on their lips.
