Chapter 228: New beginning
Chapter 228 A new beginning
The shoulders were slightly heavy. The weight was obviously negligible, but it made Pei Ziheng's whole body tense.
This girl...is really similar to Xiao Ling. When she is tired, she likes to lean on his shoulder. She looks defenseless when she closes her eyes. The feather-light touch on his shoulder seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds. Pei Ziheng did not dare to move for fear of waking her up. Beside him, the girl was sleeping peacefully. She didn't know what she was dreaming about, and her frown gradually relaxed.
Snowflakes were flying outside the car window, and the night scene flew by.
“Boss, we’re here.” It was the driver’s voice, and the car stopped in front of a villa.
This is one of Pei Ziheng's properties. The garden is planted with cedars and ivy, and it is lush and green even in this season. The housekeepers and servants in the villa were already lined up in front of the door, ready to welcome their master back.
Pei Ziheng made a silent gesture.
On my shoulder, the pretty girl was still sleeping. Maybe it was the comfortable temperature in the car, or maybe she had dreamed of something beautiful, but her originally pale face gradually turned red. She still had his scarf wrapped around her neck, with her face half buried in it, breathing slowly like a little bear in winter.
He couldn't help but smile and stretched out his hand to straighten the scarf.
“Bring a blanket.” He whispered to the driver.
The driver quickly brought a blanket.
Pei Ziheng covered Xia Ling and skillfully pressed the corners of the blanket to prevent air from getting in.
Instruct the driver to close the door.
He didn't dare to get out of the car, for fear that she would wake up if he moved. If she woke up, she wouldn't be willing to continue resting on his shoulder, right? Then his little memory and remembrance of Xiao Ling, and his extravagant hope of pretending that Xiao Ling is still alive, will be shattered.
He would rather just let her lean on him forever, regardless of the pain in his shoulders.
Seeing that he was not coming out, the driver respectfully and carefully closed the door and whispered a few words to the housekeeper. The housekeeper in decent clothes looked in the direction of the car, waved the servants who were waiting in line to disperse, and returned to the villa.
Only a Rolls-Royce covered with snowflakes was left, parked alone in the silent New Year's Eve.
Xia Ling slept deeply. When she woke up, a sliver of blue-gray sunlight appeared on the horizon.
She rubbed her eyes hazily and found that she was in a familiar car. The interior decoration of this Rolls-Royce was customized by her herself. The leather armchairs with the bow-tie rabbit pattern were probably the most famous in the world. unique.
She was not very awake. In a trance, she seemed to have gone back to the past, and said inarticulately: "Good morning, son..."
Suddenly, she stopped.
Turning her head, she saw that the tall man in her memory was looking at her with dark eyes. It was not the familiar doting look, but... it was sad and happy, sad, nostalgic, but complicated and unpredictable. The alarm bells in Xia Ling's heart rang loudly, and she swallowed back the sound of "Zi Heng". She remembered what time it was now, and what her identity was now. It was so dangerous, and she almost betrayed the gang.
Xia Ling gave a stiff smile and said, "Good morning, Mr. Pei."
She quickly distanced herself from Pei Ziheng and retreated to a place close to the car door on the other side.
Pei Ziheng looked at her guarded look with a complicated expression, and reached out to rub his shoulder - where she had used it as a pillow all night, the blood flow was not smooth, and half of his body was numb from the drag. However, as soon as his hand touched his shoulder, he paused, put it down and spread it out to see... saliva on one hand.
Even her tendency to drool while sleeping is exactly the same as his Xiao Ling's.
Xia Ling looked at the pool of saliva and felt embarrassed, "I, I didn't mean it...really..."
She was afraid that Pei Ziheng would settle a score with her. This man was very particular. He didn't like her drooling all over him in the past. He would wipe her with a tissue with an unhappy look every time, which was heartbreaking. But this time, Pei Ziheng was not unhappy.
He just retracted his hand as if nothing had happened and asked Xia Ling, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Um? When he mentioned it, Xia Ling noticed that she slept on someone's shoulder last night, and she actually slept all night long. She cursed in her heart why she didn't know how to be alert. Is Pei Ziheng's shoulder so easy to sleep on? On the one hand, she also made a frightened look in front of him: "I'm sorry, I've been too tired these two days, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Her polite words made him frown.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Xia Ling became even more uneasy: "Well, how about I leave first? Look, it's already dawn."
Pei Ziheng frowned even more: "You are not allowed to leave."
"ah?"
Pei Ziheng stretched out his hand and wiped her wet saliva with the long scarf around her neck - he couldn't stand the stupid look on his face anymore, "I promised to treat your injury, and you haven't eaten anything all night. ”
She then remembered what she had come to do yesterday.
Subconsciously, he reached out and touched the wound on his neck. There was still some swelling there. Li Feng's hand was so strong that her throat was still a little uncomfortable. She wondered if she had injured her trachea. There was a burning tingling sensation when she breathed.
About the unpleasant things on the Li family island, the thoughts suddenly came to mind again.
Her expression darkened.
“It’s a new year.” Suddenly, I heard Pei Ziheng say.
Xia Ling looked up at him.
"A new beginning." He looked at the swollen scar on her neck with a slight pity in his eyes, "Ye Xingling, do you want to come to Emperor? No matter how bad our Emperor Entertainment is, we will never bully people like this. "
Won’t you bully people like this?
Xia Ling was startled and suddenly felt ridiculed. Wasn't she bullied enough in her previous life? That was a nightmare countless times more terrifying and despairing than the one encountered in the Li family. So much so that it is like a scar imprinted on my heart.
"Thank you for your kindness, Boss Pei." Xia Ling said politely but unfamiliarly, "But, I'm sorry, I refuse." She will never return to the emperor, even if she wanders around the world homeless, she will never Will go back to the deepest nightmare.
An expected rejection.
However, Pei Ziheng's eyes still dimmed. How many times? I don't know how many times she has rejected his invitation. Pei Ziheng was in a very irritable mood, and for a brief moment, he had the idea of kidnapping her again, just like the time he poisoned her - to force her to his side and do whatever it took to make her his.
Just like he did to many girls who looked like Xia Ling.
They may not all be willing to be his bed partners.
However, as long as he is willing, he will use various means to make them surrender.
However, looking at the cautious and guarded look of the girl in front of him, he couldn't make a move. Ever since she sang the song "Butterfly in the Cage", there seemed to be something different. She looked too much like Xiao Ling...more than anything he had ever encountered before. Everyone was like, like, he couldn't bear to torture and destroy her anymore, he just wanted to compensate her for all the things he wanted to do for Xiao Ling but was too late to do.
He suppressed the irritability in his heart.
"At least, leave Tianyi," he looked at her gently and said patiently, "a new year, a new beginning."
