Chapter 177 Pei Ziheng’s Invitation

Li Lei suddenly didn't know what he was doing back here.

He lit a cigarette, and the rising smoke confused his handsome face. After sitting in the car for a long time, he made a call: "Hey, Su Tang, are you asleep? I want to talk to you about something." The scene in the elevator gave him an unprecedented sense of crisis, and he was always sure of himself I am no longer confident in coaxing girls. How can a girl like Xiaoling impress her? How can I make her give up? Maybe ask Su Tang, who is also a woman, and you will find the answer.

He loves Xiaoling and wants to monopolize everything about her, body and mind.

When Xia Ling returned to the apartment, she didn't sleep well that night, and when she woke up the next day, her head was still throbbing with pain. She walked into the bathroom and saw herself haggard in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, with a pale face and a wrinkled coat. Then I remembered that when I fell asleep last night, I didn't take off my clothes at all, and started to take off one by one. When I took off my shirt, I found something missing from my wrist.

What is missing is the sponsorship of a luxury brand, and the gold-encrusted mother-of-pearl women's watch is expensive.

After the concert was over, she wanted to return it to the sponsor, and if it was lost, she would have to pay for it. Xia Ling couldn't help rubbing her forehead, rummaged through the pile of clothes for a while, but couldn't find it, then went back to the bedroom, searched the bed, the carpet, the cabinet...everywhere she could think of, but still nothing.

This is trouble.

She couldn't afford to pay for that women's watch at all. A young star like her, even if she made good money, had more places to spend her money. Every month's salary was squandered by her as soon as she got it, and there was no balance at all. . What should I do, borrow from Li Lei? Even though they had just quarreled, Xia Ling knew that without a doubt, he would give her a huge sum of money without hesitation, and there was no need to pay it back. But if that's the case...what's the difference between being taken care of by him?

Once upon a time, she was squandering Pei Ziheng's property so unscrupulously.

In her previous life, although Xia Ling had a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, she had never used even a penny of it. All her expenses went through Pei Ziheng's personal account. He had given her a black gold supplementary card, and even when buying gifts for him, she would swipe that supplementary card. At that time, she didn't think there was anything wrong. They didn't distinguish each other, right?

But later I realized that I was wrong.

In his eyes, she will always be his subordinate.

Now, after reviving her life, Xia Ling never wants to live like that again. She is who she is and does not depend on anyone. Therefore, no matter what, she would not ask Li Lei for money, but how to solve the current problem? While I was thinking about it, my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

Xia Ling pressed the answer button.

On the other end of the phone, a familiar voice came, low and magnetic: "Is that Ye Xingling?"

That is……

Pei Ziheng's voice.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Xia Ling felt that the hand holding the phone was trembling slightly. Pei Ziheng, how did he know her phone number? What's the point of calling her at this time?

"Ye Xingling." On the other end of the phone, he slowly read her name again.

She took a deep breath: "What...do you want?"

"Aren't you going to ask me who I am?" His voice was unhurried, without any of the madness and irritableness of last night. "It seems that you have recognized me. Should I say that you are sensitive to voices, or... We are destined ?”

His last half-sentence made her almost throw her phone away.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Her tone was unstable, "Pei Ziheng, I don't have time to chat with you. If nothing happens, I will hang up!"

He smiled softly, and in his laughter, there seemed to be a little bit of bitterness, helplessness, and untraceable nostalgia: "How long has it been... No one dares to speak to me in this tone. Ye Xingling, You’re the second one.”

Xia Ling fell silent.

He knew who the first one was, and she knew it too.

"Ye Xingling," he spoke again, "you left a women's watch with me."

It was only then that Xia Ling suddenly realized why the watch had disappeared—probably because it was accidentally lost while pulling with him in the elevator last night, and it happened to be picked up by him. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was great to know its whereabouts. After she got it back, she no longer had to worry about the high compensation.

However, as soon as he changed his mind, he found a problem - the thing was in Pei Ziheng's hands, how should he take it?

"Pei Ziheng," she said while hesitating, "could you return it to me, please?"

I was apprehensive, afraid that he would refuse.

His voice was still deep: "Yes." After a slight pause, he added, "Let's make an appointment, Ye Xingling. I hope I can return it to you in person."

Only then did she realize his purpose.

Pei Ziheng, he wanted to see her, and that watch was just a hunter's bait.

Xia Ling instinctively refused: "No, I..."

He interrupted her: "if you don't come to pick it up, forget it."

She knew that he had always been a man of one word, and now that he had said this, there was no room for change. But how dare she go to see him? Since his rebirth, he tried to capture her several times and suffered so much, how could she put herself in danger again?

But that watch...

She didn't know what to do.

Pei Ziheng's voice sounded at the right time: "I just want to chat with you, no malicious intentions, you decide the time and place."

"No malice?" The past events flashed through her mind, and Xia Ling frowned, anger rising in her heart, "You did so many cruel things to me in the past, how can you say you didn't have any malice?!" In the past life, in this life, he They all hurt her deeply.

"I won't do it if I say no. I, Pei Ziheng, have never broken my promise."

"You never broke your promise? You..." She almost sneered, remembering how he vowed to her that he would treat her well all his life, but in the end he tortured her so cruelly that she was worse than dead...

However, thinking of her current identity, she swallowed back the question she was about to blurt out.

"If you don't know where to make an appointment, just make an appointment at Hengyun Business Center. There is a good coffee shop on the third floor, an open lobby, and a lot of people coming and going. You don't have to be afraid of what I will do to you. Two afternoons Click, I'll wait for you." His voice was low and gentle, just like many years ago, whenever she was in doubt, he would always make a decision thoughtfully.

Xia Ling said nothing and hung up the phone silently.

All morning, she hesitated whether to go. Seeing that the appointed time was getting closer and closer, she finally said to herself, go ahead. Since she couldn't afford to lose the watch, she had no choice but to get it back. She went to get her things back, not to see him. It was just this time, and it wouldn't happen next time.

She got up, found a set of clothes that fit her best, put them on, and walked out of the room.
