Chapter 2922: A call from Luo Yi
Translator: 549690339
“You have a call! You’d better answer the phone first. ” Tears welled up in her eyes when she saw the caller’s name. She then turned to pass the phone to him.
“Who is it?” He looked at her suspiciously and noticed that her face was a little pale. Her tone of voice was not like before, and it sounded a little sour.
He took the phone and saw that it was a call from Luo Yi, so he quickly picked it up.
“Hello, Luo Yi!” As he had not heard from Luo Yi and ye Changqing that they were in Florence for a long time, Ji Ziming was clearly excited and his tone was filled with joy.
PEI GE realized that the person on the other end of the line was a girl, and when she heard the tone of the man’s voice, she was even more certain of it, so she tactfully got up and left.
!!Ji Ziming was stunned to see her walk away in a lonely manner, but since he was on the phone with Luo Yi and she was only walking toward the beach, he did not pay much attention to her.
“Luo Yi, I haven’t contacted you in a long time, how have you been?” The man asked in a concerned tone, as if he were an old friend.
“I’m back, Ziming.” On the other end of the phone, Luo Yi’s expectations were low, and she seemed to have a lot on her mind.
“Ah? Luo Yi, you’re back already?” Ji Ziming exclaimed, his eyes widening even more.
Not far away, PEI GE’s ears were filled with the sound of the man talking on the phone. Feeling the two chatting happily, her heart was filled with mixed feelings as she kicked the fine sand on the beach from time to time.
The name was clearly a girl, and he even exclaimed from time to time,’you’ve touched on something, right?’ Why can’t I find anything related to the name “Luo Yi” in my mind? did I know her before?
She kept pacing back and forth, kicking the sand harder as she became more and more agitated.
Ten minutes later, he finally ended the call and strode toward her.
“Finished your call?” She did not know why, but when she saw him walking over, she suddenly asked this question.
The moment she asked, her face turned red. Not daring to look him in the eye, she could only awkwardly brush her hair.
“Why did you come here?” The man did not notice anything amiss and continued,””Here, I’ve given you a phone. Are you going to call Shen Feng?”
Actually, she only wanted to give Cheng Ningyuan a call to let him know that she was safe while Shen Feng was in Thailand.
However, when she saw the gentleness and joy in Ji Ziming’s voice when he answered Luo Yi’s call, she somehow steeled her heart and lied.””Yes, I’ve been out with you for so long this morning, and my phone has run out of battery. If he can’t find me, he’ll be very worried!”
She deliberately emphasized the last few words, as if she were trying to anger him.
Sure enough, he fell for it. His brows furrowed and his eyes seemed to be filled with tears as he stared at her.”Then hurry up and call him, in case your Shen Feng is too worried about you and goes to the police. At that time, his identity will be exposed, and it will be very dangerous for the few of you who have returned to leave the country. ”
He was not joking, and she knew that he was not being unreasonable, so she quickly dialed Cheng Ningyuan’s number.
His heart ached as he watched her walk toward the beach with her back toward him. The person he loved the most was clearly right beside him, yet the person she was thinking of was another man. To her, he was insignificant.
Ji Ziming’s sharp brows furrowed slightly as he stared blankly at the distant sea with his hands in his pockets.
“No wonder I located your phone at the beach and it didn’t move for such a long time. It turns out that your car broke down. Wait for me there, I’ll drive over to pick you up. However, it was already afternoon. It would probably be dark by the time they got there. You guys just have to wait for me patiently. ” Cheng Ningyuan helplessly told her not to worry over the phone.
“Okay, thank you, Ning Yuan.” She thanked Cheng Ningyuan and hung up.
Returning the phone to him, she continued,””Shen Feng has already sent someone from the city. Thank you.”
“I was the one who caused you to be trapped here, so there’s no need to thank me.” The man’s brows were still furrowed, and his expression did not change. He was only angry at himself for not being the first person she thought of when she needed help.
Perhaps, in her opinion, if he could send someone to pick her up, he would not be someone she could rely on. With this thought in mind, he dejectedly took the phone.
“You … Do you want to go back to the city with us later?” She raised an eyebrow at his slightly disappointed look.
“No need, I’ll contact the company’s driver myself.” Ji Ziming only remembered that he had been busy answering Luo Yi’s call and thinking about PEI GE’s thoughts, so he had not contacted anyone yet.
“Hurry up and contact them. I can see that your phone is out of battery.” She suggested. He unlocked his phone and raised an eyebrow at her.
She quickly avoided his gaze and, after some thought, added,””Why don’t you save some electricity and go back with our car? This way, Cheng Ningyuan will be able to contact us later and find our exact location. ”
The man remained silent and continued to look at her embarrassed face.
Her eyes finally met his when she saw his expression. She asked tentatively,””You … What do you think? Or do you insist on contacting someone yourself?”
Frowning, he shifted his gaze from her to the beach.””That’s fine. I’ll follow your car. Anyway, it’ll be the same time if I contact them now. Besides, I have an urgent matter to attend to in the city. I’ll just send them a message and ask them to contact me tomorrow to pull the car over.”
Urgent matter? PEI GE’s heart stirred when she heard this. Could it be related to that Luo Yi?
She wanted to probe further, but after a pause, she felt that this had nothing to do with her. She had just said that she wanted to keep a distance, so it was better not to ask again.
Therefore, he smiled and nodded,””Okay, let’s wait then. Cheng Ningyuan should be here in two or three hours.”
Ji Ziming did not say anything more and merely sighed as he stared at the sea in a daze.
