Chapter 379 Beautiful Doll
In order to control her social circle, Pei Ziheng did not give her a mobile phone. She could only use her home landline phone to communicate with the outside world. She rushed back to the bedroom and dialed Pei Ziheng's number: "Pei Ziheng! Where did you hide my ring pendant?!"
On the other end of the phone, Pei Ziheng's gloomy voice said: "I said, that's not something you should have. I've given it to Chu Chen and sent Chu Chen to melt it. If you dare to bring anything home, just give it a try , Xia Ling, don’t know that the sky is high and the earth is high.”
She didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, so she hung up the phone immediately, hurriedly searched her address book, and called Chu Chen: "Chu Chen! Did Pei Ziheng give you a platinum ring pendant?!"
Chuchen's voice was very respectful: "Yes."
“Give it back to me!”
"The boss asked me to melt it." Unfortunately, although his voice was respectful, his words did not waver at all. "I am dealing with this matter now. If you want to see it turn into a puddle of water with your own eyes, you can turn on the video. communication."
“Don’t melt it!” Xia Ling was frightened and turned on the video communication. Sure enough, Chu Chen was standing in front of a machine, watching the operator throw the platinum ring in and melt it into a puddle of liquid.
Her heart sank.
Chu Chen looked at her and smiled in a friendly manner: "Miss Ye, if you don't get rid of the old and get the new, isn't it just a few grams of platinum? What do you want when you follow the boss? Why do you care so much?"
She was sad and angry, her chest heaved, and she wanted to tear Chu Chen's hypocritical face apart.
But she knew she couldn't do it, so she could only turn off the video communication and smash the phone on the ground to vent her anger.
…The ring is gone.
Her body slid down the wall, sat on the ground, and buried her head in her knees.
Just like this, I don't know how long it took.
"Miss Ye, why are you squatting here? The ground is cold, this..." It was Zhou's mother's voice, advising her with worry and concern, "Get up quickly, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you. What's your picture now?" Looks like this, if Mr. sees it, will he be heartbroken?"
Zhou's mother tried to persuade her for a long time, but Xia Ling remained motionless.
Zhou’s mother sighed helplessly and walked away.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of footsteps came again. Someone blocked the light, causing her body to be shrouded in a huge shadow. "Xiao Ling," it was Pei Ziheng. It was as if the quarrel on the phone had never happened. His voice sounded low and gentle, "Stop losing your temper and go have something to eat with me. You have been so quiet lately." Thin."
She said nothing and did not look at him.
Pei Ziheng knelt down and took her into his arms.
She struggled a bit as if she was electrocuted, but did not break away. She couldn't help but raise her head and said hoarsely: "Let me go."
Pei Ziheng didn't let go. He looked at her face and frowned. He finally understood why Zhou's mother was so worried and told him to come back soon. It had only been a few hours since he went out in the morning, and she was already so haggard that she couldn't tell what was wrong, but she looked so... Like a withered rose, it has lost all vitality and seems to turn into ashes at the slightest touch.
He felt very distressed and held her more carefully.
“Eat something,” he said softly, “I made an appointment with two jewelers to come over tomorrow and bring the new season’s emerald agate jewelry, as well as your favorite diamonds. Buy whatever you want.”
Seeing that she still didn't speak, Pei Ziheng simply picked her up and put her back on the bed.
The bed has been tidied by Zhou's mother and replaced with a clean and soft duvet. It is neat and comfortable. Pei Ziheng went to wring out a hot towel to wipe her face, and then found a plain silk satin dress and placed it in front of her: "This dress is newly bought. I remember you like this material and color. But not You can try it if you know if it fits. After you change it, go downstairs and I’ll wait for you to eat downstairs.”
He paused, seeing that she was indifferent, and then said, "Shall I change it for you?"
She trembled, then looked up at him, and said in a harsh voice, "I'll change it myself." Pei Ziheng was satisfied and went downstairs to wait for her.
When Xia Ling waited for him to walk out, the first thing she did was to get out of bed and lock the door. In fact, since he broke in last night, she knew that the door lock was useless to him, but she still locked the door to gain more or less peace of mind.
Unfolding the plain silk satin long skirt, it was beautiful, and it was indeed her favorite style.
Having been together for more than ten years, Pei Ziheng always knew what she wanted and would handle everything properly before she asked. She guessed that he must have bought more than one dress like this. When she was looking for platinum rings in the morning, she broke into a walk-in closet. She looked at it in a hurry at the time, but now that she thought about it, there were piles of new and unopened styles in it. Clothes, shoes and hats are probably all prepared for her.
In her previous life, she was extremely grateful for his thoughtfulness.
But now, I just feel terrible.
This place is like a cage, and she is the puppet in the cage. No matter how beautiful or expensive she is, it is useless because she cannot resist the will of her master. She can only like what he likes and appreciate what he appreciates. If he doesn't allow her to keep something, then she must give it up.
Put on that long skirt.
Looking in the mirror, she felt like she was a beautiful doll.
Now she can only be a doll.
Going downstairs and entering the restaurant, she found that the restaurant was already filled with a table full of dishes, all of which were her favorites. Pei Ziheng had already sat down opposite her and was chatting with someone on the phone about business matters. When he saw her come in, he chatted for a few more words before closing the call.
Xia Ling guessed that he came back specially for her.
Pei Ziheng is a person who plans things very well. Even though he is always busy, everything is always in order and he will never deal with official duties during meals. This was inconsistent with his upbringing.
So, there is only one explanation. Her behavior this morning disrupted his schedule.
But, so what?
Xia Ling was indifferent. It was his sudden appearance that disrupted her entire life.
There are so many delicacies, but it’s hard for the wrong person to eat them. Xia Ling ate a few chopsticks, then she couldn't eat anymore and put down the bowl without interest.
Pei Ziheng asked in a warm voice: "Are you full?"
She didn't speak.
“How can you eat so little?” He motioned to Zhou’s mother to serve her a bowl of soup, “Drink some more soup.”
She didn't have the energy to argue with him, so she obediently picked up the spoon and drank the soup. The old hen stewed with cordyceps soup cooked by Zhou's mother was always delicious, but now she felt uncomfortable after just one sip. Her mouth was bitter and she finally swallowed it, but she couldn't take a second sip.
Pei Ziheng kept looking at her carefully, "Doesn't it taste good?"
She shook her head, feeling sick to her stomach, and pushed away the dishes.
Pei Ziheng saw that she was really uncomfortable, so he stopped forcing himself.
