She was lying there, cold and still, and if it weren't for the slight rise and fall in her chest, he would almost have thought her life had slipped out of her completely.
"I'm sorry..." He muttered softly and his emotions were indescribably complicated. It was for her and also for Mo Yanqiu.
She still had that heroic and delicate facial features, and her brows were still entwined with a little melancholy that she could not fathom. With a single glance, she saw that there was no difference from the past.
By getting out of the hospital and getting into a taxi, it meant she was free, and a new run was about to begin.
The only difference was that she had always been busy avoiding Pei Junshan before, but this time, she had avoided him, who she had so desperately wanted to get close to.
Fate was truly unexpected.
She sorrowfully realized that from the very first moment she met Pei Yaochen, her life seemed to have been controlled by a giant hand and led into an increasingly terrifying abyss.
However, she wasn't willing to admit defeat. She definitely wouldn't give up until the very last moment!
Who made her, Xia Zhi's, life a tragedy?
Thinking of this, Xia Zhi clenched her teeth tightly into a fist.
— — Ding dong.
The elevator door slowly opened, and Xia Zhi walked out. But before she even had the chance to run, she was grabbed by a hand that reached out from the side.
She was shocked and when she turned around to look, her face changed drastically.
Pei Yaochen!
He was actually here?!
Apparently, he had been awake since the moment she got out of bed.
He had been trying his best not to alarm her, all in order to show her how stupid she was in front of him!
Xia Zhi was both embarrassed and annoyed, as she said softly: "Pei Yaochen! You'd better let me go! Otherwise, I'll go to the police station and sue you! "
Pei Yaochen raised his eyebrows, "You're accusing me of rape? Or are you being charged with burglary? "
Xia Zhi's face swelled red, "I sued you for rape, but I had proof! I believe that the clothes I wear will leave you bodily fluids! And how I was sent to the hospital, with a lot of doctors and nurses to testify to. You won't be able to fight for it. But, you said that I committed a robbery, who can testify? Pei Yaochen, if you want to command someone, you need to bring out the truth! "
Pei Yaochen sneered, "Xia Zhi, don't forget, you're the one who signed my cheque, and that's not a small amount. And the girl was the best witness when you did it. Don't think she'll help you just because you helped her. Let me tell you Xia Zhi, family can be ignored in front of money, not to mention that you and her have only met by chance! "
Xia Zhi spat at him, "Do you think everyone is like you?!"
Pei Yaochen raised his eyebrows, took out his phone and placed it in front of her, then said indifferently: "Open your eyes wide and look carefully!"
Xia Zhi looked over, only to see a girl appearing on the cell phone screen. She looked flustered and panicked as she said, "Xia Zhi, I'm really grateful that you went to the Pei household and went to borrow money from Mr. Pei as a servant. I appreciate your kindness. But you shouldn't have hurt him to help me and signed the check on your own, you know? This is a crime! Too terrifying. I can't accept this cheque, I have already returned it to Mr. Pei. Hurry up and apologize to him as well. Mr. Pei is a good person, as long as your attitude is sincere, he will definitely forgive you! "
Seeing that, Pei Yaochen kept his phone, and laughed: "How is it?"
Xia Zhi was extremely furious, "Pei Yaochen, what did you do to her? Did you not only have to return the money, but also use extreme means to make things difficult for her? Are you an animal? Do you know that she was waiting for the money to save her mother? "
Pei Yaochen sneered, "She betrayed you, but you were still worried about her. Xia Zhi, I really wonder how your brain is assembled!"
he said, jabbing her on the forehead.
"Even if she sold me out, it was for you to force her with money! She has no choice! " Xia Zhi angrily slapped his hand away. Unexpectedly, she had lost her mind, and her vision turned black as her body went limp.
"You idiot!" Pei Yaochen carried her into the elevator, flustered and exasperated.
"You are not allowed to touch me! I find you dirty! Pei Yaochen! Did you hear that? I find you dirty! You make me sick! " Xia Zhi closed his eyes and endured the waves of dizziness as he struggled to get rid of him.
Pei Yaochen shouted coldly: "Don't move! If you move again, I'll kiss you! Furthermore, I can do anything that is more outrageous! "
Hearing that, Xia Zhi suddenly opened her eyes, stared at him fiercely, grinded her teeth, and spoke word by word: "You are a beast!"
"It doesn't matter if I make you listen to me as an animal! Just treat me like an animal! The most important thing was that animals did what they wanted, which was much more satisfying than being heroes. I'm telling you, I feel just right now. "So, don't provoke me, animals can do anything!" Pei Yaochen threatened coldly.
"Shameless!" Xia Zhi reprimanded, then lowered her head and fiercely bit on Yun Che's shoulder, using more strength.
Pei Yaochen's face twitched from the pain, but he did not stop her and only calmly carried her out of the elevator and back to the ward.
She didn't let go, and he held her all the time, feeling soft even though he could clearly feel the blood draining away.
As long as she was alive, and had the same fighting spirit as before, so what if he paid the price with a little blood?
God knows how frightened he had been when she lay dying in his arms.
At that time, he really wanted to stab himself with a knife!
And now, all her reactions proved that she was still alive. Even though her body was weak, she was still struggling with all her might. She was the Xiao Qiang that he was most familiar with, the most warm one …
Xia Zhi bit down until her mouth was filled with thick blood, until his gums started to ache, then she finally let go of her bite. She glared at with hatred and anger, gritting her teeth: "Pei Yaochen! I really hate you. Not because you were cruel to me, but because you forced a poor innocent girl to that state! You made her live her whole life under the guilt of sin! You easily destroyed a man's life with money! "
"Is that so? But she didn't necessarily think so. And I bet she was lucky. Because not only did I not get her to pay me back, but I also gave her a fortune that I would never be able to make in my life. As expected, she had taken her mother away for a vacation. Wasn't such an extremely luxurious life even more wonderful than the one in which she had to die for everything? " Pei Yaochen calmly placed her on the bed and then slowly covered her with a blanket.
She sneered. "Yes! You're amazing. You are a merciful and great God! If you want people to go to heaven, then go to heaven! If you want people to go to hell, then go to hell! You're amazing! It's amazing to have money! "
Pei Yaochen waved his hand, "I don't want to argue with you about these topic that will never come to a conclusion. Just lie down and rest. Rest well, only then have the strength to continue questioning me refute me to fight me. "I won't reject your provocation. You know, arguing with someone with your intelligence makes me feel very accomplished!"
Xia Zhi was even angrier, she simply pulled up her blanket and wrapped herself tightly from head to toe, and truly closed her eyes to rest.
There was no point in arguing with him again. The next thing to do was to calm down and think about how to leave his side.
Pei Yaochen frowned, and pulled at a corner of the blanket, "Don't cover it so tightly, be careful of the lack of oxygen, the more you don't have enough intelligence!"
Xia Zhi did not say a word.
Pei Yaochen weakly sighed, and sat down beside her. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten anything throughout the entire day, so he hurriedly stood up and went to bring over the Bloody Swallow Porridge and appetizers the butler sent over. He said: "Sit up, drink some porridge, then have a good rest."
"Don't bother me!" Xia Zhi growled in annoyance.
Pei Yaochen threatened, "I'll count to three. If you don't get up and obediently eat after these three times, someone will be in trouble. You know, I always mean what I say. "
Suddenly, Xia Zhi flipped open the blanket and sat up, she clenched her fists and bellowed, "Pei Yaochen, other than this technique, do you have another?"
Pei Yaochen laughed, "One move is enough, why do you need to think of a new move? "I'm not like someone who has nothing to do with everything."
Xia Zhi bit her lips, snatched the bowl from his hands and finished it in a few gulps, then threw the bowl back to him and coldly asked: "Are you satisfied now?"
"Not bad. Next time. " Pei Yaochen laughed in satisfaction, sat down on one side of the bowl, and began to slowly eat.
Xia Zhi looked at him and thought about the things that had happened in the past few days. She felt so stifled that she had to panic, she took a deep breath and said against her will, "Pei Yaochen, I thought about it carefully. I shouldn't have knocked you out on the spur of the moment, knowing you were a good person, and given your money to the girl. I believe that if I tell you the truth about the girl, you will help her as freely as you helped me. I was too impulsive, and that was why you, who were already delirious at the time, attacked me so roughly, and I deserved it. I think we've all been taught a lesson, and we should be even. "
Pei Yaochen smiled lightly, "Mn. That sounds like human speech. "
Seeing that the smile on his face was growing bigger, it was obvious that he was in a good mood, so Xia Zhi took the chance and said: "Looks like you agree with me. Now that we've come to an agreement, we don't have to tangle with each other anymore. I think I'm in good health, so I don't have to go to the hospital to waste your money, and you don't have to keep me here to avoid making a fuss and making you angry. Why don't we say our goodbyes here? "
"There is one thing you are right about. We don't have to worry about our relationship anymore. Because I already have a new definition, that is from now on, you want to be my, Pei Yaochen's, woman. " Pei Yaochen charmingly reached out his hand to pinch her chin.
