The car traveled in the darkness .
No music or sound, save for the two people’s breathing, could be heard inside the car .
The heavy atmosphere in the car made Pei Ge a little nervous to speak .
Ji Ziming quietly drove the car after the car accident; eventually, Pei Ge calmed down .
She really wanted to ask him something but did not dare to speak up after catching sight of his cold look .
After driving for a while, the car lurched into a stop at a rather remote place .
Ee! The car suddenly screeching into a halt shocked her .
She gulped her saliva in trepidation when the car stopped .
“Were you that upset?” Ji Ziming, who had not spoken since getting into the car, suddenly asked this .
His voice was not as cold as she had expected it to be, yet his question was something that had made her confused .
“Ah? Upset?” She looked at him stupidly .
In the dim light, his hazy face looked bewitching .
At the very least, she was once more enchanted by his beauty .
Looking at her confused look, he frowned and asked angrily, “You really like him that much?”
Once he asked that question, she figured out what he meant .
“You – You thought I was going to commit suicide?” She stared at him with shock .
“Were you not?” He coldly snorted . The thought of the earlier situation filled him with anger again .
She was so ruthless and domineering at the dessert shop, yet who knew that this damn woman was just pretending?
“Oh, please! Why would I think of committing suicide when I don’t even like Chen Zhengchu? Why would I die after breaking up with someone I don’t love? Hmph! Impossible!” she exclaimed resentfully .
Who was Chen Zhengchu for her, Pei Ge, to commit suicide for? It was really not her style to do something that would upset her mother .
“My mind was wandering at that time; I was trying to see the name of the branded shop in the distance when that drunk driver came out of nowhere and drove his car over!” she lamented . Today was really her unlucky day!
“That’s it?” He gave her an awkward look as his anger simmered down .
“Of course! Why would I lie to you?!” She stared hard at him and replied sternly, “How can I die when I still have so many dreams to fulfill?”
“Oh . ” His sulking face finally looked better .
She blinked her eyes, looked at him curiously, and saw that his expression was not as scary as before .
“CEO Ji, why were you there? You even managed to timely rescue me,” she expressed her puzzlement, unconvinced that everything was purely coincidental .
He turned his head over and coldly replied, “Happened to pass by . ”
“Oh, really? How did you know that I broke up with Dr . Chen, then?” She blinked confusedly .
She had just ended things with Chen Zhengchu, and even her mother did not know about it, so how come Ji Ziming knew of it?
“… I was at the dessert shop earlier . ” He was silent for a while and, eventually, with much difficulty, spoke about being at the shop .
His answer only made her more doubtful .
“Yi! CEO Ji, I thought you hate desserts the most? How come you were at the dessert shop?” That kind of girlish dessert shop, too .
With this thought in mind, she began to see the man in a new light .
That dessert shop was truly not his style .
What a terrifying thought! One is such a princess-like place, and another… is a domineering CEO! Just thinking of this combination gives me the heebie-jeebies!
“… . . Shut up! Why are you asking so much?!” He coldly narrowed his eyes at her .
Seeing his fierce look, she snorted and said inside, Why do I feel that this annoying person is concealing his bashfulness with anger?
The car that started to move again was filled with silence .
She leaned her head on the window and looked outside out of boredom . When the night scenery grew more and more familiar, she knew that she was not far from home .
The bright lights reminded her of that time she had teased Ji Ziming in the dark and she unknowingly snorted with laughter .
“What are you laughing at?” He glanced at her with a touch of warmth .
“Oh, I was just thinking of who was kind enough to change all the streetlights on this road . The bright lights really make one feel happy . ” She beamed as the row of bright lights outside the car window made her feel comfortable .
He coughed softly and did not say anything in response .
She turned to look at his awkward face again and smilingly said, “I haven’t thanked you yet . ”
“Hmm?” he questioningly hummed without much concern .
“Of course, it’s for changing the sensor lights in our building! My mom was really happy and has been singing your praises for so long!” she replied with a grin .
“Oh . ” He nodded faintly, seemingly not caring about it .
Her mouth twitched at his uncaring reaction, and although she had already anticipated such a response, she was still slightly disappointed .
She no longer bothered to chat with him after his indifferent reaction .
The car quietly entered Pei Ge’s residential area .
The car stopped right under her building block .
“Thank you for saving me today and for sending me home,” she sincerely expressed her gratitude at him as she unfastened her seat belt .
Whatever the case might be, she ought to admit that if it were not for his timely rescue, she would certainly be in a car accident .
It was Ji Ziming who had selflessly saved her life .
