Chapter 1144 New Year’s Eve, a World of Two

Friendship is a very delicate thing. The two girls had a meal together, complained about Pei Zhenyuan and Pei Ziheng, and had tea instead of wine, and they actually felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

Pei Jingyu held her chin up and looked at Xia Ling and smiled: "I have always hated you. I think you are from a humble background. Why should you be the eldest daughter of my Pei family? But you actually saved me this time. If the person standing by the water If it were Jingshan and the others, they might not be willing to risk their lives. I was wrong, you are really...noble."

Xia Ling raised her head arrogantly, "Of course! I've always been the best!"

Pei Jingyu rarely refuted, but just looked at her: "You were still pregnant, didn't you think that if you were dragged into the water by me, the child would not be safe?"

Xia Ling's expression darkened: "Didn't Pei Zhenyuan tell you that I once asked him for help and wanted to have an abortion. It was not me who was looking forward to the birth of this child, but Pei Ziheng. I don't want him to become an illegitimate child."

Pei Jingyu didn't expect her to think like this. After a long while, she sighed: "It's such an injustice. If I had known today, why did I do it in the first place?" In fact, waiting for the child to be born would be more troublesome. Car accidents, poisoning, diseases...anything can be done. To the child's life, people hard to guard against. Pei Zhenyuan will not let this child go.

She felt pity for the girl in front of her and stayed with her for a long time.

Both Pei Ziheng and Pei Ziheng refused to return to their clan to celebrate the New Year. Pei Jingyu was afraid of going back alone and getting scolded by her grandfather, so she stayed here and refused to leave. She got along well with Xia Ling these days, so Pei Ziheng just let her go.

New Year's Eve.

A staff member came to report: "Miss Pei, Miss Xia, Mr. Pei has ordered someone to set up a dinner in the banquet hall, and we are waiting for the two of you to come and dine."

Pei Jingyu stood up and helped Xia Ling: "Slow down, be careful of the baby in your stomach."

Xia Ling followed her slowly to the banquet hall and said, "Why are you so concerned about my baby? If it is aborted, shouldn't your Pei family be very happy?"

Pei Jingyu glanced at her sideways: "You saved my life, of course I will give you back my life and help you protect the baby. We, rich ladies, are destined to marry someone with a foreign surname in the future. How can we care about our natal family?" There are so many things? Grandpa can fight with the big brother as he likes, and I must pay back the grace of saving my life."

Xia Ling was silent. When she was about to reach the door of the restaurant, she suddenly whispered with some self-deprecation: "I used to be too stupid, naive and wishful thinking. He never thought about treating me as his wife. If the child can be aborted, leave him. By my side, maybe everyone will be happier."

Pei Jingyu glanced at her in surprise: "I wish you had understood this truth two years earlier." Now, it's too late to say anything, everyone is trapped in the situation and cannot extricate themselves.

The door to the banquet hall is in sight.

From a distance, you can see a tall figure sitting inside, wearing a finely sewn haute couture suit, with a majestic and majestic face that has always been cold and unsmiling. The banquet hall is very spacious, but because of his presence, it is full of oppression, making people feel uncomfortable even to breathe.

Pei Jingyu helped Xia Ling stop at the door and said, "My cousin can't get anything he wants. Just accept your fate. At least he will pamper you."

Xia Ling could only smile bitterly.

Walking to the mahogany dining table covered with clean white napkins, the waiter pulled away the cushioned chair on Pei Ziheng's right for Xia Ling, and waited for her to take a seat. Pei Ziheng gave her the dish with his own hands, and said in a gentle voice, "See if this piece of roasted venison tastes good. I specially invited a famous chef. This is his specialty."

Xia Ling hated him in her heart and didn't want to eat it at first, but due to the presence of Pei Jingyu, the New Year's Eve didn't want to make too much trouble, so she reluctantly took a bite. The venison melts in the mouth, soft and tender like a cloud in the sky, with a sweet aftertaste, worthy of the craftsmanship of a famous chef. Before I knew it, I ate a piece.

Pei Ziheng looked at her tenderly: "Do you want more?"

Pei Jingyu was jealous when she saw them showing affection, and said coquettishly, "Brother Hall, I want it too."

Pei Ziheng said to the waiter beside him, "Cut the venison for Miss Pei."

Pei Jing said: "..." Well, I have known for a long time that since she adopted Xia Ling more than ten years ago, her cousin has been extremely partial to Xia Ling, and her cousin has long been unworthy of mention. dust. Only now did Pei Jingyu have the consciousness of being a light bulb, so she buried her head in her meal.

The New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, everyone was full, and the atmosphere was rare and harmonious.

After the meal, Pei Jingyu looked at the lobby brother's eyes, didn't continue to stay to make light bulbs, and left with an excuse. Pei Ziheng said to Xia Ling: "I'll take you to watch the fireworks."

Xia Ling said, "I'm a little sleepy."

Pei Ziheng nodded: "Then I'll help you take a bath and then go to sleep."

Xia Ling: "...let's watch the fireworks."

Pei Ziheng smiled, took her hand, and walked out along the long corridor. Outside the corridor is the boundless Xicui Lake. The night is beautiful, with little stars shining on the blue lake. In the slightly cold wind, there is the faint sound of waves lapping the shore. Xia Ling's delicate jade-like hand curled up docilely in his big hand, which for a moment gave him the illusion that he had gone back to the past, before any harm had happened.

The two walked side by side, so close that their breathing could be heard.

Xia Ling was also in a daze. How many years had they not spent New Year's Eve together like this?

Too long...

So long ago that she can't even remember.

She said: "Pei Ziheng."

Pei Ziheng stopped and lowered his head to look at her tenderly: "Huh?" As soon as he finished speaking, the first cluster of fireworks suddenly bloomed in the distant night sky behind him, colorful and brilliant, reflecting his handsomeness. His profile looks like a god descending to earth, dreamlike and unreal.

She just looked at him blankly, forgetting what she was going to say.

Pei Ziheng turned his head to watch the fireworks, then turned back to her and smiled apologetically, "It shouldn't have been set off at this time." According to the original itinerary, after they arrived at the waterside pavilion by the lake and sat down, the staff should have given them warm tea and snacks. I asked him for permission before setting off the fireworks, but I don’t know what went wrong.

Xia Ling finally came back to her senses and shook her head: "It doesn't matter."

She was shocked to realize that she had stared at him for a long time, and then hurriedly lowered her head.

Pei Ziheng took off his suit jacket and put it on a wooden bench sheltered from the wind in the corridor, and said to her: "Come and sit here and watch it." It was still a long way to reach the water pavilion, and he was afraid it would be too late.

Xia Ling looked at the coat and then at him wearing only a shirt and vest: "You will catch a cold."

He lowered his head and kissed her: "I'll ask someone to get the clothes." He held her hand and made her sit down.
