Chapter 50

"Hubby——" Li Yuan, wearing heels at least ten centimeters high, ran over, almost falling in her attempt to show deep affection. She struggled to crawl over to the balding man, but due to the distance and the balding man’s deliberate low voice, she didn’t hear what he said to the man with the slicked-back hair. So she subconsciously assumed the balding man was trying to stop them and was pushed down.

"Hubby, are you hurt? They were too much!" Li Yuan showed great concern for the balding man, but her tactics were not well-suited to the current situation. She was not part of the upper echelons and didn’t understand many things, so she indignantly said, "Hubby, let’s call the police! Don’t you know Chief Xing?"

The balding man was sitting on the ground, not because he couldn’t get up, but because the immense pressure made his hands and legs weak, and a chill ran down his spine.

That Mr. Zhao represented an extremely terrifying existence. The balding man had a few tens of millions in assets, but his status didn’t give him the right to speak with Mr. Zhao. He had only seen Mr. Zhao once, from a distance, like a fan watching an idol.

Mr. Zhao didn’t even know who he was; he didn’t even have the right to approach within ten meters. That time, he had etched Mr. Zhao and everyone around him into his memory, not just because they could influence his life at any moment, but because he could use this as a topic to boast about in his social circle.

Being able to accurately describe the appearance of those around Mr. Zhao was a matter of great pride.

Just now, when the man with the slicked-back hair took off his sunglasses, he recognized him immediately. This man with the slicked-back hair was the one who had stood behind Mr. Zhao, and if he was right, he was Mr. Zhao’s personal bodyguard.

The young couple he had insulted and defamed had been called young master and young miss by Mr. Zhao’s personal bodyguard, which was self-evident.

Especially when the man with the slicked-back hair took off his sunglasses and gave him a cold stare, even though he didn’t say or do anything, it was more terrifying than if he had.

The balding man felt a dark cloud hanging over his future. He didn’t need Mr. Zhao to act; a word from the bodyguard would be enough to crush him.

He slumped on the ground, his mind filled with regret and thoughts of how to make amends. At this moment, Li Yuan, who didn’t know any better, came over and shouted about calling the police!

Call the police?

The balding man was defeated by Li Yuan’s naivety. I know Chief Xing? Ha!

Even the president of the federation doesn’t dare speak loudly in front of Mr. Zhao, do you know that?

How did I end up with such a curse? The balding man was filled with regret and frustration, and he vented it all on Li Yuan. He pounced on her, his round body pinning her down, a position they often took, but with the roles reversed.

"Call the police! I’ll make you call!" The balding man, riding on Li Yuan, swung his arms and slapped her hard on both sides of her face. "Call! Call! Call! I’ll make you call! You’ve ruined me, do you know that? You still want to call the police?"

Realizing the kind of powerful figure he had offended, the balding man was on the verge of a mental breakdown. The facade of a respectable person was finally torn away...

"Turns out she’s the daughter of that person, no wonder..." The gray-eyed saleswoman, secretly sighed, looking at the balding man’s mad appearance.

As a hybrid of Tianhui and Yanhuang bloodlines and the manager of a Fairy Light Brain store, she knew far more than the average person.

"But that young master is..." The gray-eyed saleswoman frowned for a while but finally shook her head and gave up.

Wang Ge was led by Xiao Ru to the floating dock of the Huan Yu Electronics City, where the man with the slicked-back hair and the bald man had temporarily parked their business-class flying car.

The high-end and luxurious floating dock was something Wang Ge had never seen before. Countless flying cars with trailing flames parked or flew out, creating a beautiful and spectacular scene in the sky. But Wang Ge, standing there for the first time, had no interest in admiring it.

Originally, he thought Xiao Ru was a temporary worker at Shangpin Magic Points and wanted to be friends with her because he felt they were of the same kind.

But when he learned that Xiao Ru was actually a young lady from a prominent family, he lost interest in being friends with her.

It wasn’t because of inferiority, but because they were from different worlds.

Xiao Ru was probably just experiencing life at Shangpin Magic Points. After she left, she would return to her own world.

If nothing unexpected happened, she and Wang Ge would have no further interaction.

Perhaps in the future, Wang Ge would see Xiao Ru in the news or somewhere else.

But what would be the point?

Without realizing it, Wang Ge had already pulled his hand away from Xiao Ru’s small, soft, and warm hand.

There was no need to be sentimental; he just felt that there was no possibility, not even as friends. If Xiao Ru’s identity hadn’t been revealed, they might have been able to be friends for a while. But since it was revealed... Wang Ge was very self-aware.

Xiao Ru had long anticipated that one day it would end like this, but she hadn’t treated Wang Ge as anything special, so she didn’t take it to heart.

Anyway, when the time came, she would quietly leave, as if she had never existed. If she happened to run into Wang Ge, she would smile and explain her background, then say goodbye, possibly never to see him again.

But she never expected that Wang Ge would learn her true identity under such circumstances, which made her feel as if she had deceived him.

Her moon-like eyes showed guilt and regret. She didn’t know how to explain to Wang Ge, as any explanation seemed inappropriate.

The two walked silently to the business-class flying car floating on the dock. The man with the slicked-back hair and the bald man didn’t say anything, even when they drove the car back to a small alley near Shangpin Magic Points.

The bald man actually wanted to say something, but the man with the slicked-back hair stopped him with a sharp look.

The car stopped, and Wang Ge stood up, lightly touching the Starlight Light Brain in his pocket. The cold metal made him feel calm.

"Thank you for today," Wang Ge smiled at Xiao Ru, patted the light brain through his pocket, and walked out of the X-shaped door.

Xiao Ru opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but finally just said, "You’re welcome."

Wang Ge stood outside, smiling and waving to Xiao Ru, "Goodbye."

"…Goodbye." Xiao Ru waved back, but her usually warm smile seemed a bit… stiff.

The man with the slicked-back hair opened the car window, his sharp eyes hidden behind sunglasses staring at Wang Ge, "Those two will get what they deserve."

He wasn’t an ordinary person and could not only feel the killing intent from Wang Ge but also analyze its cause.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn’t want someone like Wang Ge to have any connection with the young lady, despite his previous good impression of Wang Ge.

His words were double-edged; he believed Wang Ge could understand, and he believed Wang Ge was a person who knew when to advance and retreat.

Wang Ge nodded. He no longer had the heart to seek revenge on those two, but he imagined their fate would be terrible.

Wang Ge left, and from his back, there was no sign of anything unusual, even though his heart felt like a heavy stone was pressing on it.

It wasn’t sadness or sorrow, just a sense of heaviness and stuffiness.

They were indeed from different worlds, and perhaps saying goodbye and never seeing each other again was the best outcome.

What’s wrong with the young lady? The man with the slicked-back hair, surprised, looked back at Zhao Jingru after closing the window. Given the kindness of Zhao Jingru, the young lady of the Zhao family, he would usually be stopped or at least given some advice not to be too harsh.

But today, Zhao Jingru said nothing, which was unscientific!

The man with the slicked-back hair saw that Zhao Jingru’s head was leaning against the window, her curved smile gone, and her gaze fixed on Wang Ge’s back, as if she was seeing him off, lost in thought, or… disappointed.

Having dedicated their lives to the profession of bodyguards, which precludes love, the man with the slicked-back hair and the bald man couldn’t understand what Zhao Jingru was thinking, so they chose to say nothing and took her home. The young lady had already taken the day off, so they let her rest at home.

When Wang Ge walked out of the alley, his face had already returned to its usual expressionless state.

His heart, which had been disturbed by a pebble, had now calmed down, and the surface of the lake showed no trace of the ripples.

But the pebble was deeply hidden at the bottom of the lake.

Though others couldn’t see it, it was real.

His friendship with Zhao Jingru, or the friendship of most people in this world, was like this: they said goodbye at a street corner or an alley, and that was the end.

Perhaps years later, in a similar situation or in a diary, they might recall the memory, smile, or shake their heads. Once they left that situation or turned the page of the diary, they would forget again, and it might be many years before they remembered, or they might never remember again.

When Wang Ge returned home, his mood was filled with joy again. He touched the light brain, which had become warm from his touch.

When his sister sees this light brain, she will be very happy!

Being able to see my sister’s beautiful smile is the happiest thing for me as her brother.

You are happy.

So I am happy.

[Believe me, they will meet again.]
