Chapter 12
The rays of the summer sun were extremely bright, already piercing to the eye even though it was not yet noon.
Hugging a box filled with her office items, Pei Ge felt loss as she exited the company where she had worked for four whole years.
When she looked down at her packed items, she suddenly found the whole situation funny.
Despite being at Pei Family Real Estate for four years, the number of items in her box was meager, almost as though she had never belonged there.
Pei Ge, you poor thing… Pei Ge said to herself.
When she left, no one came up to bid her goodbye. It was as though she was merely an interloper in the company.
Pursing her lips, she lifted her head, straightened her back, and walked away.
A little girl wearing a pink princess dress had suddenly run to the middle of the road!
“Look out!” Pei Ge cried out. She threw the box in her hands to the ground and dashed toward the little girl when she saw the fast-approaching car.
This sudden occurrence caught the attention of the people around.
“Oh, my god! So dangerous!”
“What the?! Rolls-Royce!”
Only when Pei Ge heard the discursive whispers around her did she dare open her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, she shuddered at the realization that she was only ten centimeters away from the lorry.
“Waaaa!” The little girl in her arms started crying.
Without caring that she almost died just then, she started consoling the crying child in her arms.
“Heyun, what’s going on outside?” Ji Ziming asked with a frown as he sat in the car.
“Apologies, CEO Ji. A child ran out all of a sudden,” the driver said, his eyes still filled with shock. Had the woman not rushed out in time, he would have collided with the child that was currently squatting on the ground.
“The child is fine, I hope.” Ji Ziming’s frown deepened at Heyun’s words.
“Yes. Thankfully, a woman rushed out in time.”
Ji Ziming winded down the window and heard the voice of a woman consoling a child outside. Strangely, he found the sight of the woman’s fleshy back familiar.
