C51 He Felt That He Was Just a Scum of a Man
Under the weak moonlight, he saw Ning Xia's small hands wrapped in gauze, and his heart slightly tightened.
Why was she so weak?
He had only pushed her, how could she be injured like this?
His movements became exceptionally gentle. Layer after layer, he undid the bandages on her body and started bandaging her body again.
When he saw his hand swollen and red, and that the wound was turning out, his gaze suddenly tightened and his heart unconsciously throbbed with pain.
The sight of this wound was shocking.
His movements became especially gentle. He carefully applied medicine on her and then changed into new gauze. He seemed to be afraid of hurting her, but also afraid of waking her up and letting her see his emotions.
Seeing her small face wrinkling in her sleep, Pei Yichen reached out his hand to smooth her brow. However, when he was about to reach out and touch Ning Xia's head, he suddenly sighed and silently withdrew his hand.
Pei Yichen felt that he was a scum. He obviously couldn't let go of summer in his heart. Even if she told him that she was already married, after so many years, all he wanted was summer.
He had thought that he would treasure summer for the rest of his life, but at this moment, he suddenly hesitated.
It was as if he was using Ning Xia as a substitute for the summer.
Her liveliness and naivety, the way she worked so hard to live, were increasingly similar to the summer that he remembered.
However, he had the photos of the summer, so he clearly knew that they were not the same person.
He could not bear to have two similar women on his feet.
Pei Yichen felt that it was time for him to wake up. If he continued to indulge himself like this, he would only harm himself and others.
He sighed and turned to leave.
No matter how good his sleep quality was with Ning Xia, he didn't want to get close to her anymore.
"Don't go …"
She whispered as she turned to leave, but her big hand was grabbed by Ning Xia's small hand.
Pei Yichen stopped in his tracks. His body made the choice before he did.
She wanted him to stay?
"Mom …" Don't go... Don't leave me alone... "Don't go …"
In her dream, she seemed to have experienced many bad things. Her body was trembling slightly, and her face was filled with tears.
Pei Yichen's heart instantly softened. He turned around and gently wiped her tears, "Alright, I'm not leaving."
He took off his shoes and held her in his arms, gently patting her back as if he was coaxing a baby.
With the warmth around her, Ning Xia seemed to have found someone to lean on in her dreams. Her small body leaned into his embrace and found a comfortable position. She didn't want to leave ever again.
She shook her head helplessly, she really didn't know what Pei Yichen was feeling weird about. On the one hand, she wanted to sleep in her room, but on the other hand, she had to wait until she slept before coming over and leaving before she got up. What did she think she was?
After doing a set of simple morning exercises for yoga, Ning Xia went to wash up. Since there were no guests at home today, she became a lot more carefree.
Ning Xia went to the living room to eat breakfast, and she coincidentally bumped into Pei Yichen after she came out.
Their eyes met, and Ning Xia revealed a smile with her doggy legs, "President Pei, good morning!"
Pei Yichen's face darkened. He turned his head away unnaturally and said, "Mhm." "I'm going back to my study. Don't look for me if you have nothing to do."
Seeing his awkward appearance, Ning Xia speechlessly curled her lips. "What's wrong? Everything's the same every day?"
However, she was fine today. She was planning on enjoying a good weekend. It would be better if he didn't come out and give her face!
However, he would sit in a wheelchair all day, eating and not exercising. Didn't he have a swimming circle?
"Erm, President Pei, don't you stay still. If not, you will get fatter and have a small belly after a long time."
Ning Xia couldn't hold it in any longer, reminding him with good intentions from his back.
The corner of Pei Yichen's mouth slightly raised. Was he concerned about her?
Ning Xia saw that Pei Yichen directly left without paying attention to her and didn't care about her at all. She had long gotten used to his cold attitude, so she just let him be.
After Ning Xia finished her breakfast, she helped Uncle Wu carry the dishes to the kitchen. She wanted to help wash the dishes, but Uncle Wu didn't allow it at all. Coupled with the injuries on her hand, he chased her out of the kitchen.
Ning Xia then walked outside, minding her own business.
Although it was a hot summer day, the garden was extremely extravagant as it had its own veranda. In a pavilion, the fragrance of flowers and plants accompanied by a light breeze wafted into the air. It was very comfortable.
Ning Xia couldn't help but sigh. Who said that money couldn't buy happiness? The happiness of rich people was simply unimaginable. Just this manor in Pei Family was like a palace.
Of course, the palace's specifications were a bit small, but that was also because there weren't any harem beauties in the kingdom. It was enough to take her as one.
The more she thought about it, the more pleased she became with herself, as if she had really become the owner of this manor.
"Ning Xia."
As Ning Xia was walking, she suddenly saw Pei Shijie, who was standing not far from her.
Seeing that Ning Xia had already seen him, he smiled and waved at her.
"Manager President Pei, why are you here? "That Yichen is in the study, are you looking for him?"
Ning Xia was somewhat surprised. She didn't expect to meet Pei Shijie here.
"I came specifically to find you." Pei Shijie smiled gently, just like a warm man.
Ning Xia blinked her eyes. Suddenly, she remembered what Pei Yichen said yesterday. She was somewhat vigilant, but her expression was still as ignorant as before.
"Looking for me?"
Pei Shijie nodded with a smile. Then, he held Ning Xia's hand and walked to a remote place.
Ning Xia wanted to take back her hand, but the other person was too strong and she couldn't struggle. Seeing that he was walking further and further away, she became a little anxious, "Manager President Pei, you, where are you bringing me to?"
Pei Shijie pulled her to a corner and made sure that there was no one around before he heaved a sigh of relief and gave the bag in his hand to Ning Xia.
With an expectant expression, he waited for Ning Xia to open it. "Let's see if you like it or not."
Ning Xia frowned, "Manager President Pei, why are you acting so mysterious? What is this?"
Although Ning Xia asked this question, she had a faint premonition in her heart.
Pei Shijie reached out his hand to help her tidy up the hair at her forehead. He was so shocked that Ning Xia immediately took a few steps back, "You …"
"Ning Xia, don't be afraid. Actually, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, but I didn't expect that you would become Pei Yichen's assistant. He has a bad temper, and you've suffered a lot, haven't you?"
Hearing Pei Shijie's affectionate words, Ning Xia's face was full of awkwardness.
But in Pei Shijie's eyes, her awkwardness was so shocked that he couldn't speak because of his confession. He knew that no woman could resist his expression, "I never thought that you would be forced to become Pei Yichen's woman …"
