Chương 1003: At the Same Place with Its Usual Appearance but with Changed People

"Ziming—" Who's that woman who spoke?

She was cut off mid-speech by him.

"Pei Ge, I'll hang up first. I'll be back soon."

With that, he moved to hang up the call.

However, before he could, she shouted, "JI ZIMING!"

She was filled with fury, and because of that, her voice shook when she spoke.

"Pei Ge…" mumbled the man, perhaps frightened by her shout.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Her voice shook from the intense emotions she was keeping in check and spoke her question without a pause.

Right now, her heart was sizzling in pain.

"…"

The person on the other end fell silent, and a long time passed before the man spoke again. "…No."

He seemed to have used all his energy to force this word out of his mouth.

Even after hanging up the call, he was unable to recover from the deep-seated guilt and resentment he felt.

"Alright. I understand."
