Chapter 235: valentine's night
Chapter 235 Valentine’s Day Night
Pei Ziheng hugged Xia Ling and got into his Rolls-Royce.
“Go to the hospital.” He told the driver in a deep voice.
Xia Ling was gasping for breath in pain in his arms, her left hand covering her lower abdomen with a look of pain on her face.
Pei Ziheng looked at her appearance and urged the driver: "Drive faster." He lowered his head and covered her cold, slender hand with his warm and generous palm, covering her lower abdomen, "It'll be okay."
His voice seemed to have a strange soothing power.
Xia Ling said softly "Hmm" and gradually became quiet.
Pei Ziheng said: "How stupid."
“Huh?” She was puzzled.
"You clearly can't beat the opponent, why do you want to provoke him?" Pei Ziheng said, "You are no better than before. You don't have Li Lei to support you. Why don't you know how to stay away from those wealthy dudes?"
Every word he said made sense, and Xia Ling felt that she was extremely stupid.
“I didn’t think much about it at the time,” she said gloomily, “I won’t do it again in the future.”
Maybe she was too well protected in the past, and she didn't know what would happen if a woman with no power and no background got into trouble with a wealthy dandy. Those dandy, like Pei Ziheng and Li Lei, who hold real power at the helm of a wealthy family, still have such consequences. The difference is that Pei Ziheng and the others cherish their status, can weigh the pros and cons, and will not make ugly troubles over childish things in public.
But people like Gu Xiao are different.
They are rich and willful, and no matter how messy the situation gets, they will have family members to deal with the mess.
They don’t care.
Just like in her previous life, relying on Pei Ziheng's support, she had done all kinds of coquettish and domineering things. People's habits are sometimes difficult to change, so when Gu Xiao provoked her just now, she didn't think too much about it. In her previous life, it was easy for her to kick Gu Xiao's life, but she forgot that if she had a backer in her previous life, how could she and Gu Xiao get into such a quarrel?
Those people were just bullying her into having no one behind her.
“Is it difficult to rely on yourself in this world?” she asked softly.
Pei Ziheng's hand holding her tightened slightly. "Men should rely on themselves. Women are born to find a man to rely on." His voice was very gentle. He caressed the top of her hair with one hand and suggested again, "Come to the emperor?"
Xia Ling laughed unconsciously: "How many times has it been? Boss Pei, haven't you heard enough rejections?"
Hearing her smile, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "One day you will be willing." I still remember the first few times I met her, her wary, fearful and hostile eyes, which made the scene the most intense. At that time, she kicked and cursed him, but now, she could sleep in his arms obediently, letting his palms cover her soft belly, and laugh without any defense.
One day, he will get what he wants.
He adjusted to a more comfortable position and held her more steadily.
Xia Ling seemed to remember something and asked him, "Why did you show up at the Wisteria Hotel?"
Pei Ziheng said: "Go find you."
"Go to me?" Xia Ling was stunned and raised her head to look at him.
Under the hazy light inside the car, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows looked so handsome, but also unpredictable. He remained silent and did not answer her questions. Today was Valentine's Day, and since Xia Ling's death more than a year ago, he didn't know how to spend it. Close your eyes, your mind is full of her image, asking for gifts willfully, holding his hand and wandering in the sea of roses...
The pain in my breathing is filled with memories. He really couldn't bear the terrible loneliness, and regret was biting his heart like a poisonous insect all the time. In this torturous day, he suddenly wanted to see the girl in front of him. Her every smile and every smile was just like in his memory. That person…
The sound and appearance are lingering.
He looked through her and looked far away, and his voice was hoarse and low: "I have prepared a program for you, a French candlelight dinner and a violin band, as well as a room full of roses and a sea of chocolate. You will be delighted."
His words made her stunned.
Just now at the Wisteria Hotel, when she was in the most danger, he descended from the sky and rescued her. She was grateful to him, as if the sense of security she had felt many years ago had returned. As long as he was there, he could block everything in the outside world. Ups and downs.
But, roses and chocolate?
How long has she been dead before he invites another woman on Valentine’s Day?
Even if this "other woman" is her own reincarnation, in the eyes of others, they are still two people.
She could understand that he was only in his thirties, he held a lot of power and was very young. He was in a man's golden years. It was impossible for him to keep his integrity because of her death. However, understanding is understanding, but she will still be emotionally sad... Even if it is unreasonable, even if it is an extravagant hope, she hopes that the person she loves only sees her.
But Pei Ziheng is not.
Their fate has long since come to an end.
Only then did she realize how inappropriate it was for her to be held by him. A moment of weakness should not turn into ambiguity. She broke away from Pei Ziheng's arms, and the movement involved the injured area, making her gasp in pain.
Pei Ziheng frowned and wanted to hug her again, but she refused.
"Thank you, Mr. Pei," her eyes regained clarity, "I can sit still on my own."
That thorny and guarded look came back again, making Pei Ziheng's eyes darken slightly. However, he was a man who had his heart in mind, so he didn't say anything and only kept a distance from her in silence that she thought was safe.
He has enough patience.
At the hospital, the driver was busy going in and out to go through the formalities. Pei Ziheng accompanied Xia Ling to take X-rays and do examinations.
The results of the examination showed that there was nothing serious, except that there was a large bruise on the lower abdomen where the kick occurred, and it would probably take several days for the bruise to heal. Pei Ziheng had someone go through the hospitalization procedures for her: "Stay in the hospital for observation for a few days, and then go out after she is completely recovered."
Xia Ling was speechless. How could a minor injury be like this?
However, when she met the look in Boss Pei's eyes, she thought, forget it, she was too lazy to argue with him. She was going back to the Wisteria Hotel after being discharged from the hospital. She had just made such a big fuss in the hotel, and she didn't want to go back and be looked at like a monkey.
Xia Ling settled down in the advanced special care ward.
The ward is a single room with well-made solid wood floors and comfortable beds, which is not much worse than a suite in a hotel. She was lying on the bed, and Pei Ziheng sat by the bed and peeled an apple for her. His fingers were slender and he was skilled in knife skills. The thin apple skin hung continuously from his fingers, and the rustling sound was very pleasant.
Watching him peel an apple is like watching an art performance.
Xia Ling was in a daze, remembering the time when she had just been adopted by him.
At that time, he was pampered and clumsy. Let alone peeling apples, he didn't know how to tuck the corners of the quilt even if he covered her with a quilt. How did it become like this? It seems that after they have been together for a long time, he has started to do many things by himself, taking care of her and raising her...Except for that unbearable love, and except for the wolf-hearted sister Xia Yu, he is her only relative in the world.
Xia Ling felt a tightness in her chest as she thought about this.
The apple was cut in half by Pei Ziheng. Suddenly, the phone rang.
He glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, Xia Yu.
