Chapter 628: Pick up at the airport
Chapter 628 Pick-up at the airport
In the night wind, her figure looked so thin, yet firm.
Pei Ziheng knew he couldn't persuade her, so he said, "I'll take you there." He asked the driver to drive a Rolls-Royce and personally escorted her to S City Airport.
It was very quiet in the carriage.
She was curled up in the back seat like a wounded animal.
Pei Ziheng said very gently: "Get some sleep. I'll call you when I get there."
She shook her head, unable to fall asleep. She had a pair of foggy eyes open, and her mind was in a mess. She seemed to be thinking about many things, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing.
The car drove smoothly for more than five hours and arrived at a gas station. Pei Ziheng got out of the car, bought her a steaming lunch box, and said, "Eat something hot, the journey is still long."
She raised her head, without picking up the lunch box, and asked Pei Ziheng: "How far is it?"
"It depends on the situation, there are still five or six hours." Pei Ziheng said, "You eat first, and then sleep for a while. The driver cannot support such a long journey by himself, so I will drive in the cab and let you sleep in the back seat. ”
She nodded, still curled up in a daze.
Seeing her like this, Pei Ziheng found a blanket and put it on her body, unpacked the lunch box himself, picked up the meat slices and broccoli with a disposable spoon, and brought it to her mouth: "Open your mouth."
She turned her head sideways: "I don't want to eat."
Pei Ziheng did not give up: "You haven't eaten for a long time. If you continue like this, I won't be able to bear it. If you see Li Lei at the airport, do you want him to see you looking so haggard?" He didn't want to mention that man. Name, but if it weren't for this, she wouldn't eat obediently at all.
He was worried about her body, she was so thin, and what if she fell ill.
Hearing what he said, Xia Ling obediently ate the food that was brought to her mouth. The lunch boxes at the gas station were terrible to eat. Even though Pei Ziheng paid extra for them to buy the cleanest and freshest ones, they were still far behind the food Li Lei had made. She chewed the food somewhat mechanically, thinking about the beautiful days with that man, and felt that the food she swallowed was so bitter.
Pei Ziheng saw that she was willing to eat and said gently: "This is so good."
Put the second spoonful to her mouth.
Xia Ling asked him: "When will we continue on the road?" The car had been parked at the gas station for more than ten minutes. She was eager to return home and could not wait to show up at the airport and meet Li Lei in the next second.
Pei Ziheng said: "After I finish feeding you, I will go and drive."
Xia Ling took the lunch box from his hand and said, "I'll eat it myself. You go and drive."
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her, paused for a few seconds, and then said: "Okay." At this moment, he didn't want to start a dispute with her. Li Lei would be out of the game soon anyway, so why not be more generous and let her be more grateful? , much dependence.
He covered her with the blanket more carefully, got out of the back seat, and entered the cab.
Try the car for a test drive.
The driver said respectfully: "Boss, this car is big, please pay attention to the rearview mirror." He knew very well that his boss hadn't driven a car in person for many years, and now he made an exception for Miss Ye. He really admired it. Miss Ye.
Pei Ziheng started the car and got on the road smoothly.
Xia Ling looked at him focusing on driving, and suddenly realized that this man's care for her was obligatory, no matter whether he wanted to pursue her again or no matter what. It was she who was troubling others, asking them to take her to the airport all the way across two cities.
“Pei Ziheng,” she said, “thank you.”
In the cab, his hand holding the steering wheel did not even change his posture, but a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Why do we need to be so polite between us? Xiao Ling, I just want you to be happy."
Xia Ling lowered her eyes, are you happy? How out of reach. The journey was long and boring, but she still couldn't sleep. She curled up in the back seat and stared at the screen of her mobile phone, expecting when it would ring and send out Li Lei's news.
However, no.
The phone actually rang, and it was Sister Maina asking where she was.
She told Sister Maina: "I'm fine, sister Maina, don't worry. I will come back to Tianyi to find you after I finish handling the matter here. I'm sorry about the concert, I messed up, you and the company Let’s discuss how to remedy it, and I will fully cooperate.”
Sister Maina was very irritable: "Who is worried about the concert?! I just want you to be okay!"
Xia Ling felt warm in her heart. "I'm fine, really," she said, "I can see Li Lei soon, and he will explain everything to me... By the way, Sister Maina, please don't call during this time, I want to keep The signal is clear, maybe Li Lei will call me."
Sister Maina was quiet for a moment and then said: "Xiao Ling, no matter what happens, I will always be on your side. Remember, there is no obstacle that you cannot overcome. If you have any difficulties, remember to come to me!" After Xia Ling received a call from Mr. Li, she looked strange and fainted suddenly at the concert. Sister Mai Na went to investigate the matter. Tan Ying told her that the boss was already with Su Tang and that Su Tang was pregnant with the boss. children.
Sister Maina knew what kind of blow this would be to Xia Ling.
She also guessed that there was a misunderstanding. With the boss's character, how could he have a child with Su Tang quietly? Now, since Xiao Ling said that she wants to meet with the boss to make it clear, then that's fine.
But for some reason, Sister Maina always felt uneasy in her heart.
She did not dare to convey this uneasy premonition to Xia Ling, so she could only tell Xia Ling to come to her if she encounters difficulties.
Xia Ling agreed and hung up the phone.
The phone’s ringtone never rang again.
There is no phone call from Li Lei, not one.
She comforted herself that her brother had said that the signal in Africa was not good and only landlines could connect. Since Li Lei had already rushed to China, maybe he couldn't find a suitable landline to call her.
Anyway, we’ll see you soon.
Agitated, the Rolls-Royce arrived at the airport.
There are people coming and going at the airport, and there are people picking up people everywhere.
Pei Ziheng booked a tea room not far from the airport pick-up point and took Xia Ling inside to sit and wait. She was a star, and if she didn't find a secluded place, she would soon be watched and cause a riot.
Xia Ling didn’t know about Li Lei’s flight, so she waited for a long time.
Pei Ziheng said: "He just said he was going back to China last night. Even if he puts down the phone and rushes, he won't be able to come that fast. Xiao Ling, don't be anxious."
But how could she not be anxious?
Her eyes were fixed on the airport pick-up port without blinking. One group of people passed by, two groups of people passed by, and many groups of people passed by... But Li Lei never appeared, never.
A whole day, from early morning to night.
The last flight left and the pick-up hall became deserted.
She looked pale. She had not slept all day and night, and was so anxious and disappointed that she could hardly stand still.
Pei Ziheng comforted him with gentle words: "Go back."
