"Watch out!" someone behind her shouted. Then, a strong force pushed Ling Yiran aside and she fell to the floor. At the same time, she felt a pair of hands protecting her.
Then, she heard hurried footsteps. Her bodyguards and driver shouted, "Young Madam, Young Madam!"
Ling Yiran came back to her senses and painfully got up with the help of her bodyguards. "I'm fine," she said and looked back at the man who was standing up. He was dusting himself with his head down.
This man had just saved her.
"Are you okay, sir? Thank you so much..."
However, she froze when he looked up halfway through her sentence.
It was... Xiao Ziqi!
He was Shen City's socialite, her ex-boyfriend, and the fiancé of the Hao family's second heiress, Hao Yimeng!
However, Xiao Ziqi was a far cry from the person he was back then.
He was wearing old gray clothes and a pair of dirty sneakers. His handsome face looked old now. There was even a hint of gray hair near his temples.
She remembered Xiao Ziqi being 35 or 36 years old, but he now looked like a man in his 40s.
He was no longer the dapper and stunning heir of the Xiao family. He now seemed like an underclass burdened by life.
When Xiao Ziqi realized that the person in front of him was Ling Yiran, a look of surprise came over his face. He smiled wryly. "It's you. I learned from the news that you've returned to Shen City, but I didn't expect to see you under such circumstances."
"Yes," replied the bodyguard.
Just then, several security guards in the building also heard the noise and ran over. When they saw Xiao Ziqi, they spoke in disgust, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you we already have a designated courier? Stop coming here to attract business! Get out!"
One of the guards tried to rudely drag Xiao Ziqi away from the building’s entrance.
Xiao Ziqi suddenly seemed to be in pain when the guard was tugging on him and he covered his right wrist with his other hand.
"Go on. Go on pretending!" The security guard thought Xiao Ziqi was putting on a show.
Ling Yiran said to the security guard, "Let him go! A flower pot just fell from your building and this gentleman saved me! You shouldn’t be shouting at him right now!"
