“What’s the problem?” Gong Jue raised his eyebrows.
“What if… What if someone recognizes you…” Gu Qiqi pursed her lips.
She didn’t want to be surrounded.
Gong Jue snorted coldly. “Do you think that everyone has a chance to know who I am?”
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
Alright, that made sense.
Ordinary people only knew that the abstract Gong clan corporation—the leader of Gong Sheng—was the high-tech guardian of the people.
Who would have the ability to link him to this man in front of her who exuded a domineering aura despite wearing a white shirt?
“Brother-in-law, my older sister likes to eat plum powder and mangoes…”
Xiaobei didn’t miss the opportunity to remind Gong Jue.
Gong Jue stopped in his tracks and curved his lips. “Indeed, you have strong tastes.”
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
What was this? All girls loved to eat this, okay? She now believed that this stupid man had probably never come into contact with a girl in his life.
“Wait for me.” Although Gong Jue said that he despised it, he had already strode towards the stall selling mangoes across the alley.
Gu Qiqi looked at the man’s sturdy and powerful back.
An indescribable sense of security arose spontaneously.
“Brother-in-law is so good…” Xiao Bei sighed.
“This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen Master Jue eat spicy food. This is the first time that I’ve seen Master Jue buy snacks from the streets for girls.” Special Assistant Lu sighed with emotion without missing the opportunity.
Young Lady Qiqi had snatched away two of Master Jue’s firsts again.
Gu Qiqi’s small face heated up.
She spoke like a wicked thief who specialized in stealing Gong Jue’s first times.
“Did he have something urgent to handle in the morning that made him late?” Gu Qiqi blushed and changed the topic.
“Master Jue…” Special Assistant Lu deliberated over his words.
He wondered if Young Lady Qiqi would be unhappy if he told her that Gong Jue was testing the medicine at Bai Mori’s place.
Before Special Assistant Lu could explain…
Huge changes happened!
A truck rushed into the narrow alley.
Ignoring the stall owners and pedestrians who were shopping on both sides of the alley, it rushed in at high speed.
The truck was nearly as wide and narrow as the alley.
It almost crushed everything in sight!
Screams could be heard continuously.
Some stall owners had already been run over by the wheels along with the sweet potato alms bowl cakes that were sold in their baskets! There were also pedestrians who were thrown onto the wall by the wheels until they were beyond recognition…
The truck seemed to have gone crazy and didn’t notice it as it continued to speed forward.
The next stall was the stall that Gong Jue was buying for Gu Qiqi!
Gu Qiqi’s heart rose to her throat.
But all of this happened too quickly. No one had the time to react at all.
She could only pull Xiao bei tightly behind her to protect him. She and Special Assistant Lu couldn’t rush over and push Gong Jue away at all.
The truck bumped straight into the stall.
“Boom!”
That stall owner’s tricycle was crushed by the truck.
The big and fresh green-skinned mango was knocked to the ground.
A few of them were pressed into a ball of pulp, leaving only a thin layer of green skin. It was a shocking sight.
Gong Jue’s figure disappeared under the wheels with the stall owner within a second.
“Master Jue!”
“Brother-in-law!”
“Stupid man!”
The three of them spoke in unison.
Gu Qiqi’s heart shattered.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.
A second ago, the man’s broad and doting back was still in front of her.
In this second, he was actually squashed under the wheels of the truck.
She had never felt so regretful in her life. She really shouldn’t have let Gong Jue come to such an alley.
If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to let her have a bite of spicy skewers, Gong Jue wouldn’t have encountered such a terrifying car accident.
With trembling hands, she couldn’t wait to choke that crazy truck driver to death with her own hands.
Her footsteps uncontrollably ran towards the truck!
