Pei Hao shifted his gaze back and chuckled, “What are you imagining? I think she resembles a sister I knew. Besides that, it feels like I’ve seen her somewhere.”

“Seeing her before is useless. She already has a boyfriend. He is pretty good too, and it would be hard for you to compete. Let’s not talk about it anymore, let’s go, let’s play some basketball!” His friend hooked an arm around his neck, and they started to walk off.

After a few steps, Pei Hao couldn’t help but look back.

Then suddenly, he had a eureka moment!

He finally knew why she looked familiar.

She looked very much like the girl tied up with a bomb in the bank robbery incident.

He was one of the hostages, and he had helped untie her ropes.

But Hai Xiaotang was blindfolded and her mouth covered; he hadn’t seen her face clearly, and due to the urgency of the situation afterwards, he didn’t notice her.

Pei Hao couldn’t help laughing; the world was really small, he didn’t expect they would turn out to be classmates.

At the same time, he was more determined to get to know her!

Once they were in the car, Hai Xiaotang buckled her seat belt and asked Tao Yi, “Brother Tao, where do you want to go to buy presents?”

As Tao Yi looked into her clear eyes and her innocent smile that seemed oblivious to worldly matters, his gaze turned a bit gloomy.

He couldn’t imagine that Hai Xiaotang had been married, and even divorced.

Her former husband was Dongfang Yu.

Tao Yi couldn’t fathom what she had gone through that led her to choose divorce after just a year of marriage…

And he also felt regret and heartache.

If only he had met her earlier…

“Brother Tao?” Hai Xiaotang called him when he didn’t respond.

Coming back to his senses, Tao Yi smiled and said, “Let’s go and eat first, then we can shop for a gift.”

Hai Xiaotang laughed, “If we eat first, the mall will be closed by the time we finish. Let’s go shopping first, it’s too early for dinner.”

“Alright then.” Tao Yi started the car and took her to the busiest commercial area.

Hai Xiaotang had originally planned to help pick out a gift.

But Tao Yi ended up choosing a pair of begonia flower earrings with white jade petals and a yellow gem center!

He seemed to fall in love with it at first sight, and without checking the price, he asked the saleswoman to wrap it up.

Hai Xiaotang didn’t think too much and smiled, “Nice gift, the girl who receives this will surely love it.”

Seeing her smile, Tao Yi was pleased and said, “I guess she would love it too. Okay, let’s go and eat.”

He planned to give her the gift during dinner.

The restaurant was located elsewhere, so they had to drive there.

Upon leaving the jewelry store, Tao Yi opened the car door for Hai Xiaotang and waited until she got in before he made his way to the driver’s seat.

However, neither of them noticed a black Maybach parked not far from them.

Inside the car was Dongfang Yu and Ji Chuan who should have been on a business trip!

Dongfang Yu was looking at Hai Xiaotang and Tao Yi getting into the car; his expression darkened making his air feel cold.

Ji Chuan shivered again.

Summer was far from over, but he had felt cold the whole day.

Ever since they left the Hai Family’s residence in the noon, the chilly aura around them never dissipated.

He had a strong hunch that if this continues, something bad will happen…

“Follow them!” Dongfang Yu suddenly commanded.

Ji Chuan quickly regained his senses and started the car to tail them.

Unaware they were being followed, Tao Yi and Hai Xiaotang were enjoying each other’s company, conversing and laughing.

Strangely, they didn’t meet often, but each time they could always connect on conversation.
