Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire Chapter 841 - Friend, she is the woman in my heart.

“I’m getting engaged next week with Pei Ge.”

His words stunned the other people in the room.

For a moment, except for the music playing in the background and the sound of their breathing, silence reigned in this s.p.a.cious room.

The three men looked as if they had chanced upon a ghost. Seeing their stunned expression, Ji Ziming unhappily raised a brow before repeating his earlier words.

“My engagement party with her is set on Sunday of next week. Keep that date free to attend it.”

This statement jolted the three men out of their shock.

“What?! You’re getting engaged next week?! No way! Isn’t it too fast?”

Of the four of them, Liao Gaofei was the most hot-headed. Therefore, he could not stop himself from exclaiming.

“If I recall correctly, the date mentioned by auntie for your engagement isn’t next week.”

Mu Heng eyed the man suspiciously. Although he prided himself for being the person who understood him best, he was unsure of what was going on in his mind at the moment.

“That’s right. What’s with the rush? Did something happen?” Fu Mingxuan, who had kept his silence, finally spoke.

Raising a brow at the three’s dumbstruck expressions, he coldly replied, “What’s wrong? Why can’t I get engaged to her?”

“We obviously don’t mean it that way. What we mean is that this is too sudden.” Seeing his friend’s lips curl up into a smile that was not quite a smile, Mu Heng recognized it as a signal for his best friend’s unhappiness.

Therefore, he quickly explained it to him. If not, this best friend of his might descend his fury onto them! That would be deadly!

“That’s right! It does feel sudden! Are you perhaps rus.h.i.+ng the engagement because your girlfriend is pregnant with your child?” posited Liao Gaofei.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Just as he said that, Fu Mingxuan started coughing.

“Are you alright?”

Turning his head over, his eyes widened at his friend who was having a coughing fit.

“Look at how old you already are! How could you choke from drinking? Could it be that my words were too shocking?”

The other two men’s gazes s.h.i.+fted on to Fu Mingxuan upon hearing Liao Gaofei’s unintentional words.

Indeed, his words had a huge impact on the man.

“There’s no reason. I just want to marry her earlier, so that I can declare that she’s mine and mine alone.”

Ji Ziming retracted his gaze and said this with emotion, his dark eyes filling with determination.

Once more, this declaration left the trio in the room stunned.

However, this time, he did not look at them and just poured wine in his gla.s.s to drink.

The three men only regained their senses after some time.

Clap, clap, clap!

Mu Heng clapped his hands with much force.

“Not bad! I never thought that you could show such determination for a woman!”

He lamented inwardly, It’s true that everything has a conqueror!

This man hailed as the coldest and toughest ‘old flower’ in the capital was actually plucked by an unknown, average woman easily.

Furthermore, this ‘old flower’ of theirs got plucked willingly. It seemed that, after their wedding, he would be quite uxorious.

“That’s right! A dispa.s.sionate monk like you is actually uptight about a woman!” teased Liao Gaofei cheerfully.

Unlike these two men’s cheerful behavior, Fu Mingxuan’s att.i.tude was quite intriguing.

“An engagement is not a child’s play. Is this engagement given proper preparations with you rus.h.i.+ng it? Are you intending to give her a perfunctory engagement?”

He asked Ji Ziming solemnly.

His words caused the merry atmosphere to dissipate.

“Our friend isn’t that kind of arbitrary person. Since he said that it will happen next week, the engagement must’ve already been organized.” Mu Heng’s brows twitched as concern flashed in his eyes when he told Fu Mingxuan this.

Even Liao Gaofei, the most naïve among them, sensed the tension between his two friends.

“That’s right, Mingxuan. Who is our friend? He is a well-known CEO in the capital! How can his engagement be perfunctory?!”

The two tried their best to distract the other two with their antics and banter.

Alas, the tension persisted between both.

“Mingxuan, don’t you think that you’re meddling too much on our personal business?”

Ji Ziming was uncertain of his friend liking his woman, but now, he was sure that this guy had feelings for Pei Ge.

He felt somewhat stifled to arrive at such a conclusion.

“She’s a junior I’ve known for a long time. She’s someone whom I want to protect, so I don’t wish to see her at the receiving end of any grievance.”

Fu Mingxuan’s eyes were fixated on the other’s eyes as he tried to suppress some sort of emotion.

“Don’t forget that she’s my girlfriend.” Ji Ziming closed his eyes, his face full of fatigue.

“I know that… she’s your girlfriend.” The other was feeling slightly indignant.

“You may be my best friend, but she’s the woman in my heart…”

He did not finish his words.

Similarly, Fu Mingxuan was not stupid and could tell what his friend was conveying. He did not wish for their friends.h.i.+p to be ruined because of Pei Ge.

Still, he would not let him harbor any feelings for his woman.
