From-DIDIDA Novels
Looking at the light-green walkie-talkie in his hand, for some reason, Ji Ziming wanted to give it his all.
Hence, he walked to the payment counter with the toy in hand.
“Sir, are you not buying anything else?”
When he walked to the payment counter with just that one walkie-talkie, the store assistant was perplexed.
The man, whose mind was filled with thoughts of Pei Ge, did not bother himself with the salesclerk and just proceeded to the payment counter.
“That lady earlier, did she pay by card or cash?” His eyes were on the two cashiers as he asked this in a chilly voice.
Hearing his question, the two cashiers looked stunned for a moment before stuttering, “B-by card.”
His eyes immediately lit up at that.
“Give me the receipt that she signed on.”
“H-Huh? Y-Yes, sir!”
The man’s eyes were too chilly that the two dared not reject his request; hence, they swiftly gave him the receipt the female customer earlier had signed on.
The moment he got the receipt, the flame of excitement in his heart was extinguished.
That was because the receipt only had the name Regina on it.
“Regina…”
It turned out that he had really just been imagining it and the woman earlier was not Pei Ge…
With disappointment, he paid for the walkie-talkie and left the store.
Five years…
It had exactly been five years…
He had looked for her for exactly five years.
However, not once did he receive any information about her; it was as though she had vanished into thin air…
Everyone advised him to give up, but he really did not want to do so…
Pei Ge… do you really not want to see me again?
“Achoo!”
The woman in question sneezed just as she walked out of the department store.
This sneeze came so suddenly that she subconsciously closed her eyes, resulting in her colliding with someone who was not looking while he walked.
“Ah!”
Unprepared and in her high heels, she lost her balance and fell backward.
Thankfully, the man who had knocked into her reacted quickly.
The moment he regained his footing, he reached out swiftly and held her hand.
As he used his strength, she was stopped from falling.
“This lady here, are you…”The man trailed off.
His eyes were fixated on her without blinking, and he held her hand tightly as he stood there quietly.
She frowned as her hand was held tightly by the man.
“Let…”
She trailed off as well, feeling equally shocked at the sight of him.
“…” Mu Heng?!
Only god knew how surprised she was to meet this man here.
While trying her best to calm down, she forcefully shook his hand away.
She was exceptionally nervous right now, for fear that this guy would recognize her.
Hence, the moment she shook off his hand, she moved to leave.
Alas, the man, who had recovered from his daze, quickly stopped her from doing so.
“Wait! This lady here, you look familiar. Have we met before?”
Her heart was immediately in her mouth at that.
The capital was so big; why did she run into this rascal of all people?!
“He he! This sir here, don’t you think your tactic is slightly too old-fashioned?” mocked Pei Ge as she curled her lips into a cold smile.
Although she was feeling nervous at having met an old friend, with him even saying such a thing, she was after all a ‘queen’ who had experienced many ups and downs in life, so she got her emotions under control very quickly.
What she did not expect, though, was that the guy was much more… shameless than imagined.
“He he! You actually saw through it.”
Mu Heng rubbed his nose sheepishly as he looked at her.
“…”
Excuse me? What is this man saying?
“To be honest, this tactic of mine is very trendy usually, but I don’t know why I don’t know any tactic when it comes to you. I just want to express my feelings to you truthfully.”
The further he spoke, the more he realized what he was saying sounded wrong.
“Ah—wrong! I said it wrongly! Actually, I’m a very pure person who has never dated before.”
“…”
Seeing him anxiously shaking his hands and explaining himself fervently to her, the corners of Pei Ge’s lips twitched in exasperation.
This man was indeed an unreliable playboy as ever.
He even set his eyes on her now!
It turned out that he did not find her familiar earlier but only wanted to chase her. She really had nothing to say about it!
“He he! I’m so sorry, but I’m not interested in you.”
She shoved him away and continued heading outside.
Looking at her distancing back, the man could not be bothered with anything else and followed her.
He only had one thing in mind at this moment, and that was… to chase after the woman whom he had fallen in love with at first sight!
His heart had never beat this fast before.
Furthermore, the moment he held her hand, he felt an electrifying feeling from her to his hand, and it made his heart skip a beat.
This was the first time he had felt a numbing and electrifying feeling come from a woman.
This was also the first time he had fallen in love with a woman at first sight.
“Wait! Hey—wait a minute!”
A pity that no matter how fast he chased, he could not catch up to the woman, who was evading him intentionally.
Seeing people come and go, as well as failing to find the beauty in a gorgeous dress, he eventually returned to the mall.
“Aye! D*mn it; I didn’t catch up to her…” he cursed, feeling depressed.
His mood only improved when he encountered Ji Ziming shortly after.
