Chapter 195 - The Toad Who Wants to Eat Swan Meat
After chatting with Zhang Manhua, Pei Ge showered and retired to her bed in a relaxed mood.
The bedroom was bathed in darkness once she had switched off the light.
She did not close her eyes yet and, instead, stared absentmindedly at the ceiling.
Her mind was filled with Ji Ziming’s figure.
That moment he suddenly appeared and saved her in such a domineering manner without a regard for his safety….
Thinking about it made her heart beat quicker.
Her cheeks blushed pink and her eyes brightened slightly.
Pei Ge was, of course, unaware that a sister in the office had returned to the straight and narrow from the ‘wayward’ road.
After a whole day of hard work, with Ji Ziming not showing up, she began to worry again for some inexplicable reason.
Thinking of that accident yesterday, she was not at ease.
After work, she took her bag. She thought of calling Qin Qitong to ask about Ji Ziming’s condition, but she realized that doing so would seem invasive, especially since she had no relationship with him.
Pei Ge contemplated about it all the way until she exited the office building.
“Pei Ge!”
Suddenly, a familiar voice pulled her out of her thoughts.
Lifting her head, she saw the tired figure of Chen Zhengchu. His expression did not look too good.
She wordlessly looked at the man and moved to walk past him.
“Pei Ge, give me a chance to explain.” Chen Zhengchu pulled on her wrist; his voice was hurried when he spoke.
“Let go,” she coldly said.
“Most of what Xia Lan told you is false! Yes, I dated her before and she was my first girlfriend, but we did not break up over a misunderstanding; it was a clean break up! I don’t love her anymore!” He tightly gripped her wrist and hurriedly said this.
Seeing the looks on them, her forehead creased and she coldly said, “Let go of me. If you want to talk, let’s go somewhere private.”
Although there was not much to hear, being entangled like this at the company entrance still looked scandalous.
“Fine! Fine!” He immediately released her wrist upon hearing her words, as though he were afraid of her regretting it.
