Chapter 378: He does not want to see sorrow on her face.

Pei Ge gently pursed her lips at Ji Ziming’s order. She felt downtrodden as well as surprised. Did he look for her deliberately?

When she hid behind the bus shelter advertising billboard, she really did not expect for him to stop beside the bus stop and get off his car.

Of course, what she least expected was for him to actually see her hide behind the billboard and demand for her to come out.

Seeing her taking a long time, his eyes sharpened with coldness.

“Pei Ge, come out,” he repeated coldly. One could hear the suppressed anger in his voice.

Did this dumb woman really thought that he did not see her hide behind the advertisement billboard?

She actually dared to hide from him!

When he called her name, she pursed her lips again helplessly. She was about to come out from her hiding place, but the impatient man beat her to it. Walking to the back of the bus stop, he then stretched his hand out and held her palm.

“Er…?” She was dumbfounded at the sight of him leaning in and stretching his hand out to hold hers.

Just as she was looking at him in a daze, he pulled her out calmly.

“Get in.” He held her hand and ushered her into the car.

Only after hearing his deep, cold voice did she pull herself together.

“No.” She looked at the shining black car, took a step back, and shook her head in refusal. “I can take the public bus.”

She did not know why, but she felt scared to get in his car now.

“Get in, Pei Ge. Don’t make me repeat myself a third time,” he said with a cold look.

He discovered that he always had to repeat himself every time he talked to her. This dumb woman was seriously testing his patience all the time.

The other people at the bus stop were now looking at the two; some even took their phone to discreetly shoot pictures of them.

Though reluctant, she eventually got into the car under his frosty gaze.

Once she settled in the passenger seat and put on her seatbelt, he stepped on the accelerator.

The car had been cruising for a while, yet the man still did not speak, as if she were not there.

Seeing him ignored her and merely focus on driving, her mouth twitched depressingly.

Upset, she muttered to herself, This annoying fellow, who forced me into his car but is ignoring me now, is clearly crazy!

His look of cold detachment provoked her anger. Since he did not want to talk, then neither would she. Thinking of this, she resolutely averted her gaze from him and transferred it to the scenery outside the window.

Therefore, besides the sound of their breathing, the car was filled with absolute silence.

“… Why did you not tell me?” His icy cold tone abruptly broke the silence as he stopped the car by the roadside.

His question startled her, and she blurted out, “Tell you what?”

She was confused by his question.

“The money that you need for your mother’s gastric cancer treatment.” He turned to direct his admonishing face at her.

“Why should I tell you? We have no relation.” She lifted her chin slightly and looked at him.

What was their relationship for her to talk of such things to this man?

“…” Her words caused him to tighten his grip on the steering wheel; his eyes seemed to bore more deeply into hers.

“If you just want to talk about such things to me—” She looked at his gloomy face and, for some reason, felt a pang of guilt.

She was obviously in need of money, but she was too prideful to admit it. She only wanted to get off his car now.

She was interrupted by him from completing her words.

“Do you need 200,000 yuan now?” He regarded her with much frostiness.

He was furious right now.

This woman would rather borrow from Qin Qitong than mention it to him.

She was clearly in need of money…

Was he not even an acquaintance to her?

“…” She pursed her lips in silence at his question.

He could see stubbornness in her eyes and, without hearing her reply, knew there and then that she had never thought of asking for his help.

He gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white – so white it looked wan.

In that moment, his heart sank weakly.

“I’ll give you the 200,000 yuan.” The stubborn look on her face told him everything he needed to know – his plan did not work.

Now, all he wanted was for the sadness on her face to disappear.

However, to his surprise, she rejected his offer without even considering it.

“No need, CEO Ji,” she gently rejected as she lifted her face to look at him.

A hint of hesitation was evident in her eyes, but it soon disappeared completely.

“… Pei Ge!” He fumed even more at her rejection.

He was already lowering himself before her, but this woman was unappreciative and simply rejected him.

Was he a flood or a beast? Why was this woman avoiding him?!

Seeing the fury in his eyes, she averted her gaze and did not look at him anymore.

She… would rather owe a lot of people than this man whom she hated and loved.

“CEO Ji, if you are done with what you want to say, then I’ll get off the car now.” She released her seatbelt, opened the door, and alighted from the car calmly.

He, who was angry beyond words, coldly watched her get off the car.

“CEO Ji, no matter what, I still want to thank you.”

Once she was out of the car, she bowed to him and then left in big strides. The man, who had been left behind by himself, could only watch her leave in frustration.

Good! Very good! Pei Ge, you are really good!

His palm balled into a tight fist and hit the steering wheel furiously. It was rare for him to do such a good deed, yet he was unexpectedly rejected by that dumb woman.

He, who was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent, heard his phone ring.

“Boss, I found out a very serious matter from the hospital. Actually…”
