Chapter 49
Ping An almost panicked and shook off the hand that was blocking her shoulder. She was so flustered that the spicy chicken fillet in her hand fell to the ground and splashed heavily on the legs of the two people.
Ping An didn't care about all these and ran towards home without looking back, as if there was a ghost chasing him!
After returning home, Ping An quickly locked the door. Her body was stiff and shaking uncontrollably, and her hands and feet gradually began to feel numb.
There were medicines on the shoe cabinet at the door. Ping'an tried hard to control his hands to take the medicines. He swallowed a handful without even looking at them. Then he knelt on the ground as if exhausted, and fell into a daze.
What's going on?
How could Cheng Xiangheng suddenly appear in front of her?
Ping An bit his fingers neurotically, and didn't care even if they bled.
Hadn't they parted ways back then? Why did she come back? She felt that her life was good now and she didn't need anyone to bother her anymore.
Did Cheng Xiangheng feel that he had suffered too much in the past, so he wanted to come back for revenge?
Ping'an was frightened by the thought of Cheng Xiangheng standing in front of her, and the oppressive feeling brought by the height and size difference made her feel scared.
Ping An took out his phone and opened WeChat, wanting to seek help, but he didn't know who to talk to.
Big tears fell from his eyes. Ping An hated his own cowardice and was so anxious that he wanted to find a corner to hide in and never come out!
Just at this moment, a phone call came in.
Ping An's cell phone is always on silent mode, but this phone is old and broken, and occasionally it will inexplicably become non-silent.
He frantically glanced at who was calling, and when he saw the word "Wen Zhi", he picked up the phone tremblingly.
"My little girlfriend, why are you answering the phone now? I want to ask you out later, okay?"
Wen Zhi's voice was so gentle that Ping An felt comforted even though he knew nothing.
She nodded, then shook her head: "No...no!"
As if he heard the sobs in Ping An's voice, Wen Zhi's tone became serious: "Ping An, what's wrong with you?"
Ping'an sobbed for a while, and when she calmed down a little, she realized that she had been on the phone with Wen Zhi for more than ten minutes. She had been crying the whole time, and Wen Zhi didn't show any impatience. Instead, he comforted her softly.
"Ping An, no matter what happens, I will help you solve it. We can face it together, okay?"
Ping'an's tears flowed again, but she quickly cheered up: "Okay, let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow."
Wen Zhi will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow afternoon.
Wen Zhi comforted her for a while before she lay down on the bed safely.
It was not a restful night. Ping An had nightmares all night long. When he woke up the next morning, as expected, he went to work with dark circles under his eyes.
It rained heavily today and it was wet and hot outside.
After Ping An arrived at the company, Xiao Qiu immediately approached him mysteriously: "Ping An, our company has been acquired, and the leadership is going to be replaced!"
Ping An really didn't have the energy to listen to gossip, but since her future was at stake, she asked, "Will there be layoffs?"
"Of course not! I heard the new boss has a strong background. If we work under a leader like that, we might even get a raise!"
That's great. Ping An is now supporting a college student with a big appetite. If her salary can be increased, she can have an easier time.
He cheered up and started working. He finished his work in the evening. Just as Ping An was stretching, he suddenly heard the girl at the front desk walk in with a huge bouquet of gardenias: "Sister Ping An, someone sent you flowers!"
Ping'an turned around subconsciously and was surrounded by the fragrance of flowers.
Subconsciously hugging the heavy flowers, Ping An raised his head with difficulty: "What's going on?"
Everyone in the office hadn't left yet. When they saw Ping An holding such a large bouquet of juicy gardenias, they couldn't help but make a fuss and asked who sent it. Was it Wen Zhi?
Wen Zhi did not hide his special feelings for Ping An, so many people knew what he was thinking.
Ping An was not used to the feeling of being stared at by everyone, and she stepped back a little embarrassedly.
Xiao Qiu had already picked up the card and read aloud, "Beautiful Miss Ping'an, I haven't seen you for many years. I miss you very much. I hope you can meet me tonight."
Upon hearing this, everyone exploded: "Quick, quick, quick! Who signed it?"
Xiao Qiu covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, then stuffed the card into Ping An's pocket: "He must be a handsome man!"
Ping An put the flowers on the ground and was about to pick up the card when he saw the screen of his mobile phone light up.
Ping An gave everyone an apologetic smile, picked up his phone and walked outside: "Hello?"
"Ping'an, it's hard to park in front of the company. I'll have someone pick you up and wait for you at the side door. Come over after work. I'll prepare some hand-made lemon tea with ice cubes in the restaurant."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Wen Zhi whispered, "You're so positive. Have you sensed that I'm thinking of you?"
Ping An thought that Wen Zhi was a very considerate lover. His interruption cheered her up a little: "I miss the lemon tea you made."
"Oh, what a pity! My girlfriend doesn't miss me. She only misses the lemon tea I made." Wen Zhi must have someone beside him, as his voice became even lower. "Then I will make it for you every day and try to please you every day. I just beg my girlfriend to think of me. That way, I will wake up laughing in my dreams at night."
Perhaps because Wen Zhi was so considerate, Ping An rarely escaped his negative emotions and started joking with him: "Wow, you're really good at making girls happy. Have you dated many girlfriends before?"
Wen Zhi didn't deny it. He just smiled and said, "But I only love you now."
Ping'an's face suddenly turned red. She knew that Wen Zhi had several girlfriends before, and many girls in the company were showing their affection to him in some way.
But Ping An was not jealous at all. Instead, he felt that Wen Zhi was really worth it. He was really a very good person: "Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone safely, I felt warm in my heart. The sense of crisis brought about by yesterday's encounter with Cheng Xiangheng was all wrapped up neatly by Wen Zhi and melted away bit by bit.
Maybe it's not wrong for her to start a new relationship. Wen Zhi may be able to pull her out of the abyss.
I took the canvas bag and went downstairs, walking towards the side door of the building safely. After a while, I saw a black car.
Ping An didn't recognize the brand of the car, but he thought it looked like it must be worth a lot of money.
After getting in the car, Ping An lowered his head to fasten his seat belt: "Please drive slower, I feel carsick——"
The moment he raised his head, Ping An was so frightened that he lost his voice.
Cheng Xiangheng was sitting in the driver's seat. He was wearing a pair of black headphones, which made his skin look even paler. He looked like a vampire walking alone in the dark night, with an icy and unpredictable expression.
Ping An wanted to get out of the car immediately, but the door was locked.
"I'm sorry, I got on the wrong bus. Excuse me, please let me get off."
Ping'an reached out to unlock the door, but Cheng Xiangheng had no intention of letting him go. He looked at Ping'an's anxious appearance calmly through the rearview mirror, and slowly curled his lips.
"Sister, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. Do you really have to pretend that you don't know me?"
