Chapter 402: 402
Lin Jiayi was a very decisive person who tended to act right after making up her mind . Right after she said those words, she grabbed her bag and rose to her feet . She tossed the words "Take care of Yaoyao well" over to Lin Jiage before leaving swiftly .

As Lin Jiayi had some alcohol at the birthday banquet, she didn't drive to her office . Instead, she called her family's driver over to the entrance of Beijing World Hotel .
It was already nine at night at the moment, but in this busy metropolitan city, the streets were still a little jammed .
In order to pass her time, Lin Jiayi sat on the back seat and fiddled with her phone .
Some time later, her phone suddenly popped out a notification indicating that her battery was running low . So, she passed her phone over to the driver to have it charged .
Left with nothing to do, she lowered her car window .

There were many pedestrians along the streets . Lovers were huddled together, strolling down the streets . While passing through an overhead bridge, she saw a few peddlers selling phone stickers and all sorts of accessories . There were also some roadside stores selling barbecued meat…
Taking in such a sight through the car window, she realized that it had been a long time since she had been to a night market .
The traffic condition finally alleviated a little, and the car began to move steadily ahead . Nevertheless, its speed was still rather slow .
As the scenery outside retreated endlessly from her, Lin Jiayi suddenly caught sight of a man dressed in a white shirt . He was riding on a bike as he crossed the street . The night wind was a little strong, and it tugged on his white shirt persistently .
Lin Jiayi stared at the man for a long time, and the more she looked at him, the more familiar she felt he was . So, she shouted out in agitation, "Stop the car!"
The driver immediately stepped on the break .
"Miss Lin…"

But before the driver could ask what was going on, Lin Jiayi had already gotten off the car, sprinting right toward the man riding on his bike .
She was wearing high heels, so it wasn't convenient for her to run around . The road was also a little uneven, and in a moment of inattention, she sprained her ankle .
It wasn't a serious sprain, but it still hurt a little . She quickly took off her high heels, and holding her elegant dress up, she continued chasing after the silhouette with her bare feet .
But no matter how fast Lin Jiayi was, she couldn't have caught up with a bicycle .
Fortunately, there was an intersection ahead, and the lights happened to turn red . The bicycle stopped at the traffic light .
While gasping for air, Lin Jiayi ran over to the bicycle, and without even resting for a moment, she reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the white-shirt man riding on the bicycle and called out, "Qin Ting…"

The white-shirt man turned his head around in astonishment .
He met eyes with Lin Jiayi, and some time later, he finally asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Jiayi didn't say a word . She simply stared at the man in a daze .
The lights in front turned green . The man was in a rush to leave the area, so he glanced at the hand Lin Jiayi had on his shoulder and asked once more, "Miss, may I know if there's anything…"
This time, before he could finish his words, Lin Jiayi had already snapped out of it . She hurriedly released the man's clothes and said, "I'm sorry, I got the wrong person . "
"It's alright…" the man replied politely before cycling away .
Soon, his silhouette disappeared amidst the huge crowds of the city .
But Lin Jiayi remained rooted to the spot .
Cars passed by her, and there were all sorts of bustle around her, but Lin Jiayi wasn't moving at all .
Of course she had gotten the wrong person… How could it possibly be him…
That person from earlier on only had that bit of resemblance to the person she remembered in her memories…
He was the greatest swindler in the world . He promised to spend his life with her, but he ended up leaving her in this world…
No matter how beautiful the future he had promised her was, in the end… it was just Zhou Zhuang dreaming of a butterfly .
