Chapter 403 - That annoying fellow… has a girlfriend?
“Mhm, I’ll hang up now.”
Ji Ziming rubbed his temple as he spoke to the person over the line.
Although his voice did not have that hint of lethargy, one could see that he was tired from the way he scrunched up his forehead.
Once he hung up, the corridor returned to its quietude, as if no one were there at all.
Tak, tak, tak! Soft footsteps could be heard.
It quickly stopped again, however.
“What are you doing here?” He stopped walking and narrowed his dark eyes at Pei Ge, who was standing at the bend.
She listlessly leaned against the elevator wall.
“Sigh…” she sighed lightly, feeling her head pound because of the man.
“I knew it’s a bad idea to get entangled with that annoying fellow…” Just look at how bad you feel now from the anxiety of losing something.
She was totally unlike her past self.
Her heart was in a mess as she cupped her face in her hands in frustration.
Don’t think about it, Pei Ge. It’s impossible between you and him. Have you not known this long ago? Since that’s the case, why are you thinking so much and adding to your frustrations?
It’s got nothing to do with you if he likes someone else or has a girlfriend. You’re just a fake wife he employed. You’re merely a shield – a façade. That is all.
You shouldn’t think too highly of yourself and wish that the farce would become reality. That’s just too ridiculous and absurd.
Sigh… You should focus on taking good care of your mother and on doing a proper job of earning money. Be yourself; nothing else is more important…
Ding! The elevator doors parted open again. This time, her face no longer had a trace of depression, nor was there any frustration or sadness in her eyes.
Instead, hope filled her eyes and a light smile was on her lips.
Pei Ge, you can do it! Everything will get better. Your mom, and even you, will get better. Everything in life will get better.
