Chapter 196 - CEO Ji is hospitalized!
Pei Ge and Chen Zhengchu sat in a corner of an elegant coffee shop.
After ordering two cups of hot beverages, Pei Ge added cubes of sugar into her milk.
Seeing how quiet she was, he feared that there was no going back with her.
“Pei Ge, I know that you blame me.” He took a sip of his sugar-free coffee and tasted the bitterness of it.
