Chapter 1140: Fall into the water
Chapter 1140 Falling into the water
There is an independent small restaurant on the VIP floor, which only entertains patients and family members on this floor.
Pei Ziheng cleared the place, and only the two of them were left in the elegant space. They ordered their meals and ate slowly. What he ordered for Xia Ling was a bowl of fragrant white porridge, a few plates of nutritious side dishes, a glass of milk, a few slices of bread with jam, and fruit. Xia Ling had no appetite and ate very little. Pei Ziheng persuaded her gently: "For the sake of the baby in your belly, you should try to eat as much as possible."
Xia Ling was silent for a moment and picked up the spoon she had put down.
Since you have decided to give birth to this child, you should not treat it harshly. What should you do if it is born unhealthy? She ate the food seriously one bite at a time, as if she wanted to make up for the nutrients she had deprived of some time ago.
Seeing that she was obedient today, Pei Ziheng repeated the old conversation: "I told you that I would take you out to play. You should take good care of yourself during this period. We will go to Xicui Lake for the Spring Festival." Yesterday, he was already angry. Chu Chen was asked to cancel his trip to Xicui Lake, but something big happened at night and everything took a turn for the worse.
Since Xiao Ling has figured it out, of course she must be rewarded well.
Besides, the old man Pei Zhenyuan has too much control. Do you really think he can be flattened and rounded by others?
Xia Ling looked at him with some surprise, her beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog: "Spring Festival? Aren't you going back to the Pei family for the Spring Festival?" There is an unwritten rule in the Pei family, and every Spring Festival the whole family must celebrate together. In the past, Xia Ling, as the "eldest lady", had attended with Pei Ziheng several times. Later, because she and the orthodox Pei family members who regarded themselves as noble did not like each other, they lost their temper.
However, although she doesn't have to go, Pei Ziheng, as the clan leader, must be there every year.
So for many years afterwards, the two of them spent the Spring Festival separately. He went back to his family to celebrate the 30th New Year and the first day of the Lunar New Year. He did not come back until the second day of the Lunar New Year to spend another time with her.
Thinking of this, Xia Ling felt a little desolate. It turned out that her weight in his heart was never comparable to that of the Pei family. It was a pity that she was blinded by love back then and was so considerate of him. It was only now that the earth was shattering that she discovered the cruel truth. She lowered her eyes slightly, covering up the sadness in her eyes.
Pei Ziheng said: "I will spend this year with you."
He didn’t explain the reason, and Xia Ling stopped asking. She thought maybe it was because of the child.
She stayed in the hospital for some more time, and soon the Spring Festival came. As expected, Pei Ziheng took her and a large medical team to Xicui Lake and booked the entire lake and surrounding resort areas.
Xicui Lake has beautiful scenery, tranquility and tranquility.
Pei Ziheng gave red envelopes to every staff member and told them to take good care of Xia Ling. The people who received the red envelopes all smiled brightly and were very attentive to the two of them, and Xia Ling's mood gradually improved a lot with the smile on her face.
The water of Xicui Lake is of ever-changing emerald color. The entire lake surface is like a jade mirror in a fairyland, reflecting thousands of lights and shadows. After the snow falls, you can see that half of the lake is covered with a thin layer of ice, which is crystal clear under the sun and full of colorful fish, while the other half of the lake is sparkling and shimmering with bits of gold, which is extremely beautiful.
Xia Ling likes to walk along the lake, especially when Pei Ziheng is called by an impromptu phone call to handle matters, she would walk slowly alone in the clear winter sunshine.
That day, I walked to the small pavilion by the lake. I felt a little tired, so I sat down to rest. Looking at the beautiful lake, her thoughts gradually drifted away, and she had an illusion that the years were peaceful.
Unfortunately, this illusion was shattered soon after.
“Xia Ling.” Someone called her arrogantly.
She frowned, who dared to talk to her in such an unclean tone? Looking back, it turned out to be Pei Jingyu, the daughter of the Pei family. The Pei Jingyu in front of her was wearing a pure white down jacket, with long curly hair dyed purple, and her beautiful face made people unable to take their eyes away. Although Xia Ling herself was a rare beauty, when she saw Pei Jingyu in front of her, I have to admire it for being so noble and moving. Of course, she would only admire it in her heart.
On the surface, she looked at Pei Jingyu coldly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Pei Jingyu looked at her arrogantly: "You care how I got here? Tell me, is my cousin here?"
It turned out that I was looking for Pei Ziheng. Xia Ling was too lazy to care about their family's affairs. She lowered her eyes and fiddled with a small fruit on the stone table, "Why are you asking your eldest cousin to ask me? Why don't you call him and ask him yourself."
Pei Jingyu became angry and couldn't help but cursed: "Fox!"
Xia Ling was also angry: "Watch your wording, Miss Pei!"
Pei Jingyu looked at her and sneered: "What are you if you're not a vixen? What despicable means did you use to lure my eldest cousin to stay here? I wonder if it will be New Year's Eve soon? The whole clan is waiting for him. Lead everyone to worship the ancestors! Do you know how angry my uncle is for not calling him back?"
Xia Ling thought, it would be better if she could shout at Pei Ziheng.
How could he agree to Pei Jingyu when it was already beyond his power? Instead, she mentioned that old guy Pei Zhenyuan? —Hmph, I’m so angry that I want her to be infertile forever!
She also smiled arrogantly at Pei Jingyu: "Look at how you look now, how are you different from the gangsters on the roadside? Anyway, you have never regarded me as a family member, and now you come to rely on me when something goes wrong at home? Ha, really funny."
Pei Jingyu was furious: "Xia Ling, don't be ignorant of good and evil! Do you know what the eldest cousin will face for indulging your willfulness? Several elders have said that if he doesn't go back, he is not worthy of being the patriarch of the Pei family! Since If you keep saying you love him, don’t hold him back.”
Xia Ling was a little stunned. She didn't expect that spending the Spring Festival with her at Xicui Lake would put him under so much pressure.
But, so what? Even if I spend a hundred Spring Festivals with her, I can't make up for the damage caused by an engagement. Xia Ling came to her senses in just a moment and stood up: "I don't have time to waste my time with you here. Look at what you are like now. You are really embarrassing to your family! Why don't you get out of here?"
As he spoke, he rubbed Pei Jingyu's shoulder and walked outside the waterside pavilion.
Pei Jingyu was furious and reached out to pull her: "Don't go, you vixen!"
Xia Ling deftly shifted her body and dodged to the side. The white marble ground of the water pavilion was covered with ice and very slippery. However, she relied on her excellent sense of balance to twist and spin in mid-air, like a light water bird skimming the ice. , standing firm like a dance. On the other hand, Pei Jingyu was not so lucky. She failed to recover and fell into the cold lake.
Xia Ling was startled. Looking at Pei Jingyu who was floating and struggling in the lake, her expression changed and she instinctively shouted around: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly! Someone has fallen into the water!"
Are you surprised to be updated at 12 o'clock? I've been working hard to save the manuscript recently, so I'm going to be willful and change the update time to 12 noon, 20 o'clock and 22 o'clock in the evening. It's so retro and nostalgic. It was just like this when it was put on the shelves. ’sum
