Chapter 564: He is different
Chapter 564 He is different
Xia Ling was finally amused by him and said softly: "Okay."
Wang Tao drove her home in a Bugatti Veyron.
The red walls of the villa area spread all the way, the street lamps glowed warmly, and the surroundings were quiet. The car stopped in front of her house, and Wang Tao whistled: "It's nice here. Is Pei Ziheng's residence next door?"
When he first drove in, he saw the word "PEI" written on the adjacent house plate.
Xia Ling didn’t respond and limped out of the car.
Wang Tao quickly got out of the car and helped her open the door.
She opened the door and looked at him in the courtyard covered with ivy and tuberose: "Thank you for sending me home. I won't invite you to come in and sit." The crescent moon was like a hook, the stars were all over the sky, and it was almost midnight. It's twelve o'clock. Who knows what will happen to a man and a woman alone? It's better not to give any charming hints.
Wang Tao supported the courtyard wall with one hand and smiled: "I am not a tiger and I don't eat people." "
She smiled without any intention of letting go.
He shrugged in frustration, "Well, good night, my little beauty." He took a few steps outside, opened the door of the Bugatti Veyron's cab, and turned around before getting in the car, "You are the one I'm having at the dinner party today. The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
Xia Ling's smile deepened, knowing that he was deliberately making her happy. However, after hearing such words, the original sadness and depression seemed to fade a bit.
“I will give you VIP tickets for the concert.” she said.
“Thanks in advance.”
"Why aren't you leaving?" She saw his slender figure leaning against the car door, showing no intention of moving.
“I’ll wait until you enter the house before I leave. Don’t you know this is a gentleman’s etiquette?” The smile on Wang Tao’s face was a bit ruthless and charming. His family did not allow him to get involved in the business. All he could do every day was fight **** and dogs and play with flowers. He was very familiar with this trick of chasing girls.
Xia Ling really likes this person. It's not a love between men and women, but she feels that being with him is very relaxing and there are no heavy things.
She waved to him, said to be more careful on the way back, and turned to go into the house.
Wang Tao was still leaning against the car door until he saw the lights in her villa come on before driving away.
Xia Ling's ankle was severely swollen. Although Wang Tao had straightened the bones at the dinner party just now, the injury did not recover so quickly. The skin on his arms was also scratched, blood seeped out, and it was mottled and messy.
She sat on the sofa and checked her injuries. She had just moved here a few days ago, and there was no medical kit at all. She couldn't find any way to deal with it for a while. Borrow medicine from your next-door neighbor? Stop joking and don't look at who lives next door to her.
She silently cursed Mr. Li for eating instant noodles without seasoning packets. What kind of brain circuit allowed her to live next door to Pei Ziheng? Sighing, she took off a pair of exquisite and gorgeous high heels, and hopped precariously on the cold floor with her bare feet. She went to the sink to get a towel and was about to treat her wounds.
The doorbell rings.
Her hand twisting the towel paused, and a flash of joy flashed in her heart. It's so late, is Li Lei here? He said he would take her home, but he accidentally broke the promise. Was he here to apologize to her?
She threw down the towel and quickly jumped on one foot. She almost fell another corner in her haste. Finally, she reached the door. On the porch, she looked at the fence outside the yard, and it turned out to be Pei Ziheng.
He stood under a clump of ivy, with a dim light beside the red wall.
his expression looked half-conscious, unable to distinguish between joy and anger, and his figure was still tall and like a god.
“Why are you here?” She just asked without walking over.
"I remember Li Lei didn't own a Bugatti Veyron," Pei Ziheng said, "You were sent back by another man. I came over to check on you, in case something happened." The two families lived too close, and he had already ordered the security guard. Always pay attention to the movements on her side. He knew about it just after she was sent back by the car.
Xia Ling said, "It's nothing." She was still bare of her white, slender feet, using only one of them to stand on the cold floor tiles. Because it was too cold, her toes were slightly curled. She rested one hand on the carved pillar in the corridor, and the summer night wind blew her thin evening dress, making her shiver.
Pei Ziheng's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Cold?"
She said: "Well. I'm going to go into the house."
His eyes fell on her feet: "Are you injured?"
"...Hmm." There was no point in hiding this man. He would only make judgments based on his own subjective judgment. Since she had already been determined to be injured, it was useless for her to say anything.
He said: "You can't do this, show me."
Hand on the low red brick wall with one hand, he jumped over.
“You…!” She glared at him unhappily, “This is my home!”
"You're injured." He just said patiently, "It's very windy here. Go inside and I'll help you treat your wound before leaving." Mr. Li arranged for her to live here just so that he could get to the water first. . I heard that my grandson was arranged to go on a blind date today. If he can't even grasp this convenience, then don't chase her.
Xia Ling looked at him suspiciously.
Is he really that kind-hearted that he just takes care of her injuries and leaves?
“I take care of my own injuries.”
"You know how?" Pei Ziheng stopped her with just two words, and then said, "I do it for your own good. Are you going to open the door yourself and let me in, or should I barge in?"
Xia Ling knew that whatever she said would be in vain.
She opened the door with abandonment and said in a cold voice, "Pei Ziheng, do you think if you do this, I will be grateful to you and return to your arms?"
“You have to try it before you know.” He said calmly, looking down at her arms and ankles, he called Zhou’s mother and asked her to bring the bruise medicine that was always available at home.
Ma Zhou quickly brought the medicine.
Pei Ziheng helped her sit on the sofa, lowered his head, and carefully applied medicine to her.
Both of them were silent.
"He's already gone on a blind date, and you still have illusions about him?" Suddenly, she heard Pei Ziheng ask.
“He has his own reasons.” Xia Ling whispered. She guessed that there must be some reason why he held a blind date party and broke his promise not to send her home. Otherwise, she really didn't believe that a person who could pray for her safety by letting go of half of his body's blood would change his mind so easily.
Pei Ziheng's voice was a little low: "I didn't marry you back then because I had my own reasons."
She raised her eyes and looked at him.
Under the soft light of the living room, there was a hint of sadness in his expression.
Xia Ling used his sleeve and gently took away the hand he had bandaged for her: "That's different." What's the difference? She couldn't explain clearly. Suddenly, she felt so empty that she felt bottomless.
Pei Ziheng said: "It's nothing different. You know it very well in your heart. There's no need to be harsh."
