Chapter 769: Speak! Who is this Yunyun? Hmph!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The market was a place with a high volume of human traffic.
It was the most crowded in the morning and in the evening when people knocked off from work.
The two walked into the crowded market as they usually did.
By now, Ji Ziming had been to the market at least eight times. He could, therefore, weave in and out of it with ease even when it was crowded like this.
In fact, he was now the most popular person in this marketplace.
See? The moment he stepped into the market holding her hand, the uncles and aunts who owned stalls were all saying hi to him.
“Xiao Ji, are you here to buy goods with your girlfriend again?”
“My veggies are really fresh. I’ve just harvested them from home. Why don’t you get a few?”
“You should have some fish soup today. Didn’t you say that your girlfriend’s been a little irritable recently? Have some fish soup to ease that!”
“Xiao Ji, I’ve especially reserved a piece of beef for you; it’s really tender!”
...
Pei Ge, whose hand the man was holding, did not know what to say when she saw all this.
The well-known elite businessman from the capital, this great CEO, had blended well into this small market’s commoners. Everyone knew him and would say hi to him.
“Great, Ziming; I didn’t expect you to be more popular than my down-to-earth self,” she smilingly said to him. “Fess up! Did you come here behind my back? How do they know that I’ve been feeling irritable lately?”
As she spoke, she pinched his arm, as though intending to pinch him to death if he did not tell her the truth.
“Just once.” The man looked at her with exasperation.
“Next time, you’re not allowed to come here alone. There’re a few girls who like you here; you should keep yourself safe.” She told him this after she looked around and saw that some in the crowd were making conversation with him under the guise of selling goods.
It must be said that, not only was he good at business, his face was capable of great things, too.
He had not really been to the marketplace that many times, but he had already managed to increase the revenue here by at least 50 percent.
A while back, a few aunties even tried introducing their daughters to him despite knowing that he was in a relationship!
“What keep myself safe, stupid woman?”
As he spoke, he dipped his head and planted a kiss on her forehead in public.
“...” When she felt the cool sensation on her forehead, she smiled a little and was no longer as uncomfortable and shy about it as she was before.
As for the reason, it was simple; this man did it at least once a day in public.
Sometimes she wondered if the reason this annoying fellow did it was to mark his territory.
” Sigh ... You, can we be a little low-profile next time? Don’t you see that the other girls are looking at me as if they wanna eat me alive?”
She pretended to complain to him when she saw the jealousy in the eyes of those around them.
Cough, cough, cough! It could be said that she was just pretending to complain because...
She really liked how possessive he was!
That way, everyone would know that the man standing next to her was hers!
“No.” He kissed her forehead again, acting petulant like a child.
“Okay, okay. I really don’t know what to do with you...”
...
After their high-profile public display of affection, the pair returned to their home with their hands full of goods.
Back at home, the man put on the apron and began preparing dinner.
As for the woman, she assisted him from the side.
The two wearing matching aprons looked like a newly wedded couple that was so much into each other.
“He he! Ziming, I know that you love me the most. Are we making spicy prawns today?”
She smiled brightly when she saw some prawns being put in a dishpan to be washed.
Alas, the reply she got from him dashed her expectation.
“No, it’s capsicum and yam prawns today.” He gave this calm answer as he prepared the prawns.
“Huh! It’s not spicy prawns?”
She looked at him with disappointment, yet she was not unhappy with the reply.
“Fried prawns taste good, too! I’ll help you peel them.”
She proceeded to assist him in high spirits.
The pair busied themselves in the kitchen.
Although the kitchen was rather cramped when both were inside, that made the ambiance more romantic and warmer.
This was also why he was willing to let her assist him in the kitchen... It felt really nice.
“Ziming, this and this.
“I’m done washing! You can cook them now!”
The two were almost done with food preparation when the man’s phone rang.
“Your phone is ringing. I’ll go get it for you.”
After she saw him nod, she left the kitchen and went into the living room.
However, once she lifted the phone, the displayed caller ID made her pause.
“Yunyun?” She read the name.
The smile on her face lessened at that, and for some reason, she began to feel jealous of this nickname.
Who is this Yunyun?
Why does Ji Ziming’s caller ID for this woman this intimate?
Even my caller ID isn’t set like this!
She grumbled to herself as she went back to the kitchen.
“Here! A phone call from your Yunyun!”
She scoffed at the man.
The man, who was stir-frying the prawns, looked at her in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m mad!” She displayed the spoiled behavior the man had inculcated in her.
I shall see how this annoying fellow saved my name on his phone later!
