Daughter-in-law, Son, have you two cohabited?

The air stilled after Ji Ziming spoke.

Noting the man's icy look, her mind cleared up instantly.

I am just his fake girlfriend and shield! I totally don't have the rights to meet his parents at his house!

I'm thinking too highly of myself again!

"That's right, auntie. I have something on tomorrow, so I won't be able to visit your house. I'm really sorry about that." She smiled apologetically at her. The happiness in her eyes dimmed quite a bit with this statement, however.

Wake up a little, Pei Ge.

She numbly reminded herself inwardly, her expression dulling.

Despite having face blindness—rather, it was because of that condition that Mother Ji was more perceptive of the changes in a person's expression.

Hence, she easily picked up on Pei Ge's mood plummeting a little because of what her son had said.

"You brat, what did you just say?" Mother Ji glared hatefully at him.
