Seeing the smile in the woman’s eyes, Ji Ziming’s heart beat quicker .
He suddenly felt that the woman before him was more beautiful than anyone, and no one was comparable to her .
When the man did not say anything, she moistened her lips and lightly bid him farewell before opening the car door and alighting from it .
Pak! The shutting of the door brought him out of his daze .
He looked at her stiff back that did not turn around even once, and his heart squeezed from an unexplainable sorrow .
He watched the sensor lights glow with the woman’s every step on her way home, and he only drove away when all the lights turned off .
Hiding behind the curtain and watching the man drove off was Pei Ge, and she kept her eyes on the road for a long time .
“Ge Ge, what are you looking at? Is it Dr . Chen?” Zhang Manhua found it hilarious that her daughter had rushed to the window and secretly peered outside the moment she reached home .
She turned her head over to answer her mother’s question . “Mom, it’s not Dr . Chen . ”
“He he, you lass! Who else can it be if it is not Dr . Chen, your boyfriend?” Zhang Manhua thought that her daughter was just being shy, so she continued to tease her .

What she had not expected was for her daughter to look serious as she sat down next to her and say, “Mom, I broke up with Dr . Chen and will no longer be seeing him in the future . ”
Zhang Manhua was shocked when she heard this .
“What?! Broke up?!” she cried in disbelief . Everything was still going smoothly between her daughter and that lad, Chen Zhengchu, this morning, so why did they suddenly break up when night arrived?
“He – He dumped you?” She felt discomfort in her chest . She really thought that her daughter could match successfully with that doctor, but who knew… .
“No, it is I, your daughter, who dumped him . ” Pei Ge grinned .
“This… What exactly happened?” She could still not make sense of things . “You two were still fine this morning, so why did you break it off tonight? Didn’t you say that Dr . Chen is a good person?”
Hearing her mother’s questions, Pei Ge recounted everything that had happened today .
After Zhang Manhua heard about the ins and outs of the situation, she became angry .
“I thought that Dr . Chen is good, yet he is actually such a person! He did not cut off his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, yet he still continued to date you and even proposed to you! That guy is too much! It is a good thing that you are emotionally stable and dumped him immediately! Otherwise, it would be frustrating!” Zhang Manhua exclaimed, feeling downright indignant about the injustice that her daughter had suffered .
Pei Ge giggled at her mother’s reaction . “Mom, don’t be angry; I’m not even angry . Besides, I did not eat any losses . Break up then break up . ”

“You heartless lass!” The sight of her daughter giggling with mirth made her feel wry .
While the mother and daughter were chatting away happily, a certain CEO was feeling extremely frustrated .
After driving Pei Ge home, Ji Ziming did not return to his home and, instead, called Mu Heng out for a drink .
The black- and gold-themed VIP private room was luxurious and gave off the sense of stability and vitality . Even with the touch of gold, there was not a hint of tackiness in the room .
Two men with outstanding disposition sat on a real black leather sofa . One man leisurely smoked a cigarette, his whole being exuding a stylish vibe, while another man indifferently yet elegantly drank beer from a cup in his hand .
Although he did not possess an air of gracefulness, his noble stature was already eye-catching and shocking to those around him .
In fact, his flawlessly handsome face was enough to command everyone’s attention to him .
“Give me a cigarette . ” Ji Ziming put down the cup in his hand and coldly asked Mu Heng for a stick .
“Hei… Today is truly miraculous . I normally have to find you, yet you actually came looking for me yourself today . ” Mu Heng removed the cigarette roll in his mouth and turned to regard his best friend with curiosity .
“Plus, I know that you don’t smoke, so why are you suddenly asking me for a stick?” He peered at Ji Ziming with humor in his eyes and asked this in a teasing tone .

“Shut up . ” Ji Ziming shot his best friend a cold look .
“Alright, alright . Take it as me being scared by you . ” Mu Heng shrug and removed a snowy white slender cigarette from an exquisite wooden box .
“Here . ” Mu Heng passed the stick to Ji Ziming and, like a lackey, even lit it for him .
Pak! Blue flame burned on the end of the cigarette .
Slender fingers elegantly held the butt of the lit cigarette roll . He took a drag on it and then expelled the smoke after .
This was supposed to be his first time smoking, yet he did not exhibit any clumsiness in his action . Instead, he only looked more dashing and anyone around could not resist staring at him .
The smoke lingered in the air . The man expressed a slight surprise, but his eyes remained somber .
“Hey, Ziming, what’s up with you today? This is not like you . ” Mu Heng saw the quiet and desolate appearance of his best friend and, with a serious face, concernedly asked this .
He glanced briefly at Mu Heng and merely inhaled smoke .
His mind was filled with Pei Ge’s not-so-pretty and not-so-special face .
Today, when the woman almost got hit by a car, he finally understood the she was not just anyone to him… .
He was very concerned about her – very, very concerned .
He was so concerned that he would do crazy things for her .
“Mu Heng, you are right; I care for her very much . ” Ji Ziming put out the cigarette on a crystal ashtray, lightly laughed, and then spoke with an indifferent voice . He seemed to have finally accepted the truth of something as his look of desolation and frustration vanished .
“Huh?” Before Mu Heng could react properly, he saw Ji Ziming, who was sitting stiffly on the sofa, suddenly close his eyes and pass out .
“Hey, Ziming! What’s wrong?! What’s wrong, Ziming?!”
At the very last moment before he passed out, Ji Ziming’s mind was only filled with one thought… .
He cared for that woman… cared for Pei Ge .
