“Ziming, are you serious about only buying such a small walkie-talkie?”
The moment Mu Heng saw that his childhood friend had only bought one toy from the store, he mocked the latter for good.
This did not work on the man, however.
As for him, he was only teasing the man to release some of his despondency.
“Aye! I’m really unlucky today. I’ve finally met my soulmate, but I don’t even know her name…”
Walking abreast of the man, he grumbled glumly.
He appeared so down that one would want to comfort him.
Unfortunately, his company right now was no normal person.
“…”
The man merely remained silent as he held the well-packed toy and headed to the underground car park.
“I say, do you have any sympathy at all? I’m feeling so sad here!”
Noting the bitter expression on the man’s face, Mu Heng pursed his lips in exasperation.
Even though he knew that the other was not listening, he still decided to annoy him to no end by chattering nonstop.
However, the sight of something made him pause suddenly.
“Wait a sec… That packaging looks awfully familiar…”
The bag his childhood friend was holding in his right hand caused him to feel stunned.
It looked familiar!
“Ziming, is this the toy store’s bag?” He gulped and stared straight at the man.
From the way he asked this question, it was as though the matter was of national importance.
“Mhm.”
The other lightly nodded his head and hummed in reply.
He was elated to receive a positive reply from him.
“Ha ha! That’s terrific! I’m such a genius!”
He jumped wildly, his eyes practically glowing. It was obvious that he was very excited.
“You head back first. There’s something that I wanna do!”
Without waiting for his reaction, he dashed in the direction of the elevator.
His actions were so different from how he usually acted.
Right now, he seemed like a young boy experiencing love for the first time. The way he was acting had a touch of immaturity.
“…” Finding his friend jumping up and down, the corners of Ji Ziming’s lips twitched and he left with a cold face.
…
“Did a drop-dead gorgeous female customer buy toys here earlier…”
The moment he entered the toy store, Mu Heng walked up to the payment counter and began asking the cashiers a question.
Gazing at this dashing man, who started grilling them with questions the moment he set foot into their store, the two cashiers felt only confusion.
“Er… This sir here, several good-looking customers visited our store today.”
The two cashiers looked at him confusedly.
“The prettiest one, then!”
He quickly described Pei Ge’s attire.
The two immediately got who he was talking about upon hearing his description of the woman.
“Ah! I know who it is! It’s the ‘Queen’, and she’s indeed very beautiful!”
Hearing that, the man was stunned first before excitement flashed past his eyes.
“‘Queen’?”
“That’s right! That lady’s name is Regina, so she’s of course a ‘queen’!” The cashiers smiled at him.
“So she’s called Regina…” His mood improved upon knowing the woman’s name.
“Then, do you know her home address?”
He excitedly probed further.
“That…”
The two cashiers looked as if they were in a difficult spot now.
“Rest assured that I’m not a bad guy; I’m best friends with Ji Ziming who always comes here to buy toys!”
Seeing the cashiers’ hesitance, he patted his chest and assured the two of his identity.
“This sir here, it’s not that we don’t wish to tell you the lady’s address, but we don’t know it either. The lady indeed bought toys here, but the shipping address she gave us is in New York…”
Unexpectedly, instead of his mood dampening, his eyes brightened further when he heard that.
Regina… New York…
A light flashed in his head.
That location and that name…
No wonder he found the name familiar.
If he guessed correctly, she must be the queen hired by Minghao Group!
“He he! I’m such a genius!”
Having connected the dots, he broke into a silly smile.
Seeing him acting like this, both cashiers thought that the man in front of them perhaps… had a loose screw in the head, and it was at a serious level!
Of course, Pei Ge had no idea that Mu Heng had fallen for her at first sight.
She rode Wu Wei’s car back to the high-class apartment arranged for her by the company. When she was back, she turned on her laptop and began analyzing the company’s financial data for all these years.
She focused on her work all the way until ten in the evening. She stretched her back and took a break from the demanding work thereafter.
“Haaaa!”
She moved to pour herself a cup of coffee to clear her mind and work for another hour, but as she was walking past the living room, that green walkie-talkie caught her eye.
For some reason, she walked toward it.
She then turned it on.
She only intended to fiddle with it, but in the middle of her tinkering, the walkie-talkie’s red light flashed and turned green. Following immediately was a child’s voice being transmitted from it.
“Mommy, I really miss you…”
