“That man is so good-looking!”
“Yeah, yeah! So good looking! He’s the most good-looking man I’ve seen!”
“This hot guy looks quite familiar, though!”
“En. I think so, too.”
“Ah! I remember! Isn’t he that...”
“Super-rich bachelor, the great CEO Ji!”
“Right, right! It seems to be him!”
“Isn’t that the super lucky Cinderella sitting next to him?”
Just as Pei Ge and Ji Ziming found a table in the store and sat down, they heard the chattering of the other patrons.
Hearing all that, an ominous feeling rose in her heart.
“What’s wrong?” gently asked the man when he saw her frowning.
“I think... we’re really famous now...” replied his fiancée after blinking her eyes.
He raised an eyebrow at this, calmly stating next, “So what of it?”
“... That’s true.”
His reaction made her see things from a different perspective.
They were not celebrities; although they were now famous, it did not really matter.
Just as she thought like that, reality slapped her on the face fast.
“Er... Are you CEO Ji and Miss Pei?”
While the couple waited to be served food in their seats, a girl wearing black-rimmed glasses walked to them with a notebook and pen in hand.
Eyeing the stranger, she did not want to entertain her but smiled and replied anyway. “No.”
The girl was clearly prepared, though, as she readily took out her phone thereafter.
“How can that be?!” As she spoke, she handed the phone to her. “You may be a little different from the photo, but your man looks exactly the same as in the photo!”
The girl’s words made Pei Ge’s mouth twitch a little.
“I don’t have any ill-will. I just really like you two! I think you two are a match! Reading the stories about you two online made me believe in love again!”
Seeing the excitement on the girl’s face, she felt pressured. “I’m sorry, but you really have the wrong person.”
“How can that be?! You’re clearly the Cinderella that all the other girls are jealous of!”
She took a deep breath upon seeing how insistent the girl was being.
Honestly, she really disliked that nickname the netizens gave her.
“You really have the wrong person.” She took a deep breath and denied yet again.
Her words were no longer useful to her excited ‘fan’, however.
Moreover, this scene attracted the other patrons’ attention.
“Eh? That girl is asking for an autograph! Is there a celebrity in this store?”
“It looks like it! The man looks quite familiar, anyhow.”
...
Feeling the increasing number of gazes, Pei Ge felt that things were... heading in a not-so-pleasant direction!
“You have the wrong person.”
She did not know what to do about the girl who insisted on identifying her and getting an autograph.
In the middle of arguing with the girl, Ji Ziming suddenly grabbed her arm.
“Let’s go.”
The man glanced coldly at the girl harassing her before pulling her toward the exit.
“Ah? Why are we leaving? Our food hasn’t been served yet!”
Confused by his actions, she only expressed her desire to stay for the food.
In the end, as she was unable to free herself from his grasp, she could only follow him out of the famous eatery.
Just as the two left the eatery, a commotion broke out among the patrons.
“Ah! That man was Ji Group’s CEO, right?”
“Yup! That look from him was so cool!”
“Ah! Let’s see if we can catch up to them!”
“Mhm, mhm, mhm!”
“Oh, right. I took photos earlier! I’ll post them on my Weibo later!”
“Ah! I haven’t taken any! Quickly post! Awesome!”
“I haven’t as well. I wasn’t really expecting to run into the legendary loyal, wife-doting, and generous CEO Ji here! This is certainly the best day ever!”
Unfortunately for them, they did not see any signs of the couple when they ran after them.
“Ji Ziming, what are you doing? Our food hasn’t been served yet!”
Pei Ge kept grumbling at the man after he dragged her into the car.
“If we waited for our food, we’d probably be surrounded by people like the last time at the airport.”
Ji Ziming felt exasperated with how the woman he loved kept grumbling.
“What? Get surrounded? But... we’re not celebrities.”
His words reminded her of how she was forced to flee from the airport with the man the other day.
At this thought, her frustration was halved.
Nonetheless, she remained grumpy because she did not get to eat the food she wanted.
“The most common trait of Chinese people is...” His lips upturned a little before he trailed off mysteriously.
“What is it? What trait?” She blinked, feeling curious.
“They like to spectate.”
She quickly got what he meant.
“...” Her lips twitched silently at that. She must admit that he had a point.
“Fine. It’d likely turn out exactly as what you said,” muttered Pei Ge gloomily before lowering her head.
As a geek and a foodie, what she was most looking forward to when traveling was not the scenery but the food.
Right now...
“I’ll make it for you when we get back.”
