Chapter 409: anniversary
Chapter 409 Memorial Day
"That's right." Girl B at the front desk nodded and agreed, "It's a pity."
"What a pity," Girl C said, "Ye Xingling is not worthy of our male idol Pei." Although Pei Ziheng is aloof and unsmiling, and has always been known as an iron-blooded man in the business world, for these little girls at the grassroots level, , they were not exposed to his strong and brutal side, but were obsessed with his abilities, status, and demeanor, and regarded him as one of the three male gods in the BOSS world.
“Sigh, I don’t know which girl will be lucky enough to marry such a rich, handsome and considerate husband.” Girl A at the front desk sighed.
“It can’t be Ye Xingling anyway,” said girl C at the front desk. “If I want to marry someone, I want to marry Shuyuan from a well-known family. She’s a lady. That’s what makes her a good match. Do you understand? Who is she?”
They spoke at a somewhat loud volume. Xia Ling had always had excellent hearing, so she heard them accidentally. Her steps paused slightly, and an unknown anger arose in her heart. It wasn't like she had to stay by Pei Ziheng's side. It was clearly Pei Ziheng who refused to let her go. Why should she be ridiculed and treated like this?
She was not a good-tempered person to begin with, but now that she was pregnant with a child, her temper was even more volatile. She wanted to get angry at the little girls at the front desk, but she thought about it again, but restrained herself.
The doctor said to stay in a good mood...
She took a deep breath, then another deep breath, and swallowed it.
Pei Ziheng on the side also stopped, glanced at her first, and then glanced in the direction of the stage. His expression was so cold that the little girls at the front desk were so frightened that they suddenly stopped talking, as if they had been caught doing something wrong, and they looked at them timidly and at a loss.
Pei Ziheng waited for them all to silence before continuing to walk forward with Xia Ling.
“Do they usually say that about you?” After getting in the car, Pei Ziheng was still unhappy.
Xia Ling said calmly: "No way, who dares to do it in front of me. As for whether it is like this behind your back, I can't control it so much." She had long known that they were saying unpleasant things behind their backs, but she could not stop the crowd. mouth, not to mention that her thoughts were not on this during this period, and the top priority was to take good care of the baby.
Pei Ziheng said nothing more.
Xia Ling gets tired easily recently. Although the Rolls-Royce drives very smoothly, she still feels sleepy after sitting for a long time. She closed her eyes unconsciously, and in a daze, she felt a warmth on her body, and a small wool blanket was put on her. Someone pulled her into his arms, and her head was resting on something, which was very comfortable.
"Go to sleep," Pei Ziheng's voice came from above his head, "I'll call you when you get home."
When he got home, he didn't wake her up. Instead, he carried her sleeping body into the bedroom and put her on the soft and luxurious bed. She woke up as soon as her body made contact with the duvet.
“Pei Ziheng?” she called vaguely.
"I'm here." He sat down beside her bed. "Did I wake you up?"
She rubbed her eyes and shook her head, "I'm hungry." Pregnant women are the most troublesome, and they get hungry without any warning. Fortunately, it was almost dinner time, and the servants at home had already prepared meals.
Pei Ziheng rang the bell and ordered Zhou Ma to come in with dinner.
A very sumptuous dinner was set up on a small table beside her bed. Fresh juice, foie gras, caviar, scallops and abalone fins were all spread out on the table.
With his help, Xia Ling sat up from the bed.
She was lucky today and didn't suffer from nausea or morning sickness. She took a knife and fork and ate, but Pei Ziheng didn't eat. He only patiently put tender foie gras and thinly sliced vegetables onto her plate. She had eaten and drank enough, and felt sleepy again.
Pei Ziheng asked her warmly: "Xiao Ling, do you still remember what day it is today?"
She was very confused. What day was it? He said honestly: "I don't know."
His eyes dimmed: "Today is your birthday, and it is also the eighteenth anniversary of our meeting." In the past, she always looked forward to this day with her fingers crossed, and pestered him to spend it with her. Now, When the time comes, does she not remember it at all?
Xia Ling then remembered: "June 3rd?"
He nodded.
She had long forgotten. Since my rebirth, I still remember this day last year. I was hiding alone and feeling sad. This year I have been living in embarrassment and chaos. How can I have the spirit to feel this?
She thought back to eighteen years ago.
Pei Ziheng took her home from the orphanage. The next year, she pestered him to celebrate the anniversary and decided on her own initiative to make that day her birthday. The sun was so bright at that time, and the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating. She stood in the midst of blooming irises and hooked up with him, and they would spend every year together from now on.
He kissed her forehead tenderly and lovingly and said, "Okay."
Later, he really kept his promise and held a small banquet every year and prepared gifts. No matter how busy he was, he would still find time to spend this birthday and anniversary with her. It’s no wonder that tonight’s dinner is so sumptuous. The carefully prepared dishes are served on plates that are as beautiful as works of art. They are spread out. Even on the small and cramped bedside table, there is an unmistakable atmosphere. of grandeur.
However, things have changed, and Xia Ling is no longer as joyful as she was when celebrating the anniversary.
Pei Ziheng didn't look very happy either, "Sorry, it's too simple, no wonder you can't remember it." He attributed her forgetfulness to his own lack of preparation. In fact, both of them knew very well that it was not the case at all. If a woman changes her heart, she will be more cruel than a man. What birthdays and anniversaries? Long forgotten.
Seeing his sad expression made her feel bad.
It's really strange. He obviously forced her to stay with him, and she was the one who suffered so much. Why did she feel guilty when she saw Pei Ziheng sad? She recalled the day the paraglider crashed, when he sent a helicopter to rescue her, when he was hospitalized, he pushed her for a walk every day, and when he heard that she had a child, he took good care of her...
Suddenly, I felt that I owed him a lot.
“My birthday is not today,” she told him out of nowhere. “I have found my long-lost family. My brother told me that I was born in the winter moon.”
In the winter months? Brother?
Pei Ziheng was quiet for a moment and then said: "Is he really your brother? Who is he and what evidence is there? Xiao Ling, don't trust people outside. There are many liars."
"I know he is my biological brother." Xia Ling smiled, "He is an expert in metaphysics. He recognized me by my name in my previous life at a glance. He said that because of some unavoidable reasons, the family allowed me to wander. Outside, he also told me what my real birth date is."
“Who is he?” Pei Ziheng was still worried, a master of metaphysics? Can you recognize your biological sister in this lifetime? He once guessed what kind of family Xiao Ling was abandoned by, but he never imagined that the truth would be so unscientific. He had to check that person out.
