Chapter 689: Enemies meet on a narrow road
Chapter 689 Enemies meet on a narrow road
In a daze, she had the illusion that she was back in her previous life, when she had all the privileges around him. She closed her eyes slightly, suppressing the dizzy feeling, and then stretched out her hand to open the door.
Pei Ziheng is inside.
Wearing a pair of rimless glasses, he is reading an official document.
It was the first time she saw him wearing glasses. His tall figure in a suit was sitting on a dark black leather boss's chair. There was an invisible sense of oppression in his gentle and elegant manner. Because of his presence, the office of Nuo University seemed to be... Even the air was a bit chilly. A king's magnanimity, not angry but self-confident.
She did not walk over immediately, but stood a few steps away and looked at him blankly.
Pei Ziheng noticed someone coming in. He raised his head and saw that it was her. He took off his eyes, put down the documents, and said very gently: "Xiao Ling, you are here. Sit down." He pointed to the couch next to the window, not the solid wood office. Across the table is a chair for reporting work to subordinates.
Xia Ling still stood there and looked at him.
He smiled gently: "Why, there are flowers on my face?"
“When did you start wearing glasses?” she asked abruptly.
He was startled, and then said lightly: "It's just a slight visual fatigue. The doctor advised me to take good care of myself. You know, they are always nervous." In fact, things are not as simple as he said. He has always been physically fit. He is very good, but he has become a little short-sighted in recent years. The root cause of his illness was when Li Lei and Xia Moyan suppressed him and something happened to the emperor. He has always been very strong, and if he hadn't reached the point where he had to wear glasses, he wouldn't have worn them.
Xia Ling also knew him well and knew that the reasons he said were all nonsense, so she lowered her eyes slightly.
However, so what if it’s just nonsense? She was no longer his, some caring words could only be stopped in moderation and boundaries drawn. How she wished that he could have someone beside him who knew both the cold and the heat, who would take care of his three meals a day and provide him with extra clothes when the weather was cold, so that he would not end up alone in his long life.
However, she knew he didn't like to hear these words.
This man is too headstrong and will not listen to anyone's advice when it comes to making up his mind.
She collected herself and asked, "Why did you come to me?"
Pei Ziheng said: "I read today's news. The separation between Li Lei and Su Tang is very detrimental to you. Reporters should be looking for you all over the world now. Come on, I will take you home."
At any rate, they live close to each other, so they are on their way.
Xia Ling stood up obediently, followed him out, and asked, "Are you okay tonight?" In her impression, he was always busy, holding various meetings and working overtime at the company.
“Nothing to do tonight,” he said. He didn't tell her that he deliberately set aside time to wait for her.
As early as the afternoon, Chu Chen came to tell him that Xiao Ling went to Feng Kun's place to record songs. Pei Ziheng knew that she didn't like to be disturbed when she was recording songs, so he canceled all his schedules and waited for her to finish in the chairman's office. In this life, she is the first and only person who can make him change his working hours to match hers.
Xia Ling knows nothing about this.
Hearing that he was fine, she thought it would be a good idea to take him for a ride. Anyway, she had many things on her mind today and was a little confused, so she was not in the mood to drive by herself.
Follow him into the Rolls-Royce and return to the villa.
He walked her to the door of his house. When she opened the door, he suddenly called her: "Xiao Ling."
She turned around and felt a warmth on her body. Then she realized that it was him who bent down and gave her a deep hug. A polite, gentlemanly but powerful hug.
She was a little confused after being hugged by him, and noticed that the driver beside her took a camera to take pictures.
“What is this for?” she asked. "A polite farewell hug." He said calmly, "Aren't those members of the public attacking you with hugs? Where did a third party come from to release this photo to prove that Li Lei is not the only one hugging you in front of your door? ”
She blinked and then understood his intention, which was to clear her name.
“Thank you,” she said. She didn't mind the hug, since she was single now... What, you mean Li Lei? Li Lei is still in the stage of renewed pursuit and has failed the test.
What’s more, in the entertainment industry, such hugs are quite common.
In the villa, a child ran out of the villa, opened his hands and shouted to Xia Ling: "Sister, sister, you are back."
Xia Ling lowered her head and saw little Shao Hui, so she smiled and gave him a hug: "Yes, sister is back. Did you have a good meal today?"
"Yes, I've eaten a lot, including pine nuts, sea bass, spinach..." He counted them with his fingers. Suddenly, he saw the tall man at the door. He was quiet for a moment, and then said hello sweetly, "Uncle Pei."
Pei Ziheng looked at this child, it was really strange. He was obviously a child who had only been at Xiao Ling's house for a few days, but it always made him feel familiar. He calmly said to Shao Hui, "Uncle is going back now. Take good care of your sister. Next time, uncle will bring you something fun."
“Okay.” Shao Hui said with a sweet voice.
Pei Ziheng smiled, thought for a moment, bent down, and gave the child a hug.
Xia Ling looked on with a smile, and the driver also took photos of the scene.
With this set of photos and Li Lei's promise that he would deal with the scandal well, Xia Ling didn't worry too much, thinking that things would pass calmly.
In fact, that was true for the first two days.
Li Lei issued a statement saying that he and she were not in a relationship yet. Su Tang also came forward to clarify, saying that the separation between the two had nothing to do with Xia Ling, and asked everyone not to hurt an innocent artist.
Originally, things were about to calm down gradually.
On this day, Xia Ling took Shao Hui shopping again. This time, taking into account the public opinion, she did not choose to close the store to avoid being full of words and unable to explain clearly. Instead, she chose a high-end luxury children's clothing store with few customers to meet with Shao Hui. Hui and the two brought bodyguards and walked around quietly.
This time she doesn't plan to buy clothes for anyone, only children's clothes for Shao Hui, which is very worry-free.
Xiao Shaohui was young but had a good eye. He picked out two shirts and T-shirts that fit perfectly, and then held her hand to customize parent-child clothes with her. The two happily took measurements and made requests in the store.
Suddenly, a woman walked in with a little boy.
"Waiter," the woman's voice was elegant, with a touch of reserve, "please measure the size of my child. He needs to order two sets of autumn clothes."
Xia Ling looked up and unexpectedly saw Su Tang and her son Li Rui.
It's true that there are enemies on the same road.
Xia Ling frowned slightly and urged the clerk: "Please hurry up, I'm in a hurry." She didn't want to get bored with people she didn't like here.
