Chapter 370 Why Compensate?

Days like this are like imprisonment.

Xia Ling often has nightmares, dreaming about the last period of her previous life, where she was locked up in a scary and dark place, locked with golden shackles on a big bed covered with cold silk satin. The room at that time was so quiet and empty that after she woke up from her dream, she could never tell where she was.

On this day, once again, she woke up in a cold sweat from a nightmare.

Standing next to the bed was a tall, handsome man who looked like a god and demon, looking down at her with his head slightly lowered.

"Don't..." Instinctively, she curled back and muttered these two words.

Pei Ziheng was startled, and the hand he stretched out to her stopped in mid-air.

She looked at the steaming wet towel in his hand, saw the basin with the ward number printed on it not far away, and suddenly realized where she was and what night it was.

But those two words have already been spoken, and it is difficult to take them back.

The look in Pei Ziheng's eyes was dim and unreadable: "Are you awake? You have a slight fever and are sweating. Let me wipe it for you." He said, leaning down again and gently wiping her forehead with the towel.

Xia Ling instinctively turned her head away as if she was electrocuted.

Pei Ziheng paused again, slowly retracted his hand, and threw the towel aside. "Don't be afraid of me," he whispered, "I won't hurt you like I did before."

So he also knew it was hurt?

Xia Ling found it ironic: "What kind of harm? Lock me up? Whip me and let the dogs chase me? Or mute me and abandon me when I fall into the water?" One after another, one after another. , counting down, there are so many.

Pei Ziheng said: "I'm sorry." He was not good at words, not to mention those atrocities that left her physically and mentally damaged, and she couldn't defend herself. The only thing he was lucky about now was that she was still alive and well after suffering so much. Otherwise, he would have spent the rest of his life in pain and regret.

"I don't want to hear you say sorry anymore." Her voice was very soft.

"How can I make it up to you?" he asked.

"Ha, compensation?" She finally couldn't help it and sneered, "Pei Ziheng, what do you think can be compensated for?! You almost destroyed me in your last life, and you just let me die in this life! If you don't say anything else, just say I fell into the water a while ago, and if Li Lei hadn't risked his life to save me, I would probably have given birth to my third child by now!"

"I didn't know it was you." He knelt down beside her bed and reached out to hold her cold hand. "Xiao Ling, forgive me, I didn't know. If I knew, even if I risked my life, I would definitely take it. You rescue me."

"So, what is it that you love?" Xia Ling still sneered, "Without that layer of skin of 'Xia Ling', I am just a humble ant in your eyes? If you want to be cruel, be dumb, if you want to give up, then Abandon?! Pei Ziheng, I was really blind to fall in love with you!"

His hand held her tightly, but it was shaking.

Each word she spoke was like a sharp thorn, piercing his heart bloody. He hated himself, why didn't he recognize her? I should have thought of it a long time ago. She is so similar to her previous life, the way she smiles, talks, and gets angry...

If he could, he wished he could go back in time and go back to the day she fell into the water. If he had chosen her between that watch and her that day, would everything have been different?

"That's the watch you gave me." He explained in a hoarse voice.

Xia Ling was startled before she realized that he was talking about the thing he abandoned her to pursue when she fell into the water. He couldn't help but shake his head: "Pei Ziheng, you don't love me, or in other words, you no longer love me as 'Ye Xingling'. What you love is just memories. Let me leave here, okay? Now I... too I don’t love you anymore.”

That last sentence gave her a lot of courage.

She was already prepared for his rage, her back tensed, and she looked at him nervously. But no matter what, she had to tell him about it because she wanted to leave and go back to Li Lei.

Pei Ziheng held her hand unconsciously, making her wrist feel like it was about to be broken. She turned pale in pain and groaned, and then he suddenly realized and let go of her hand.

"You love me." He raised his head, leaving no room for doubt.

Xia Ling shook her head, "It's too late, Pei Ziheng, our love... has been exhausted long ago."

"You love me!" He raised his voice, leaned closer to her, supported her side with one hand, and clamped her chin with the other hand, "Xiao Ling, you are just obsessed with it for a moment, and you will remember it soon. Who do you really love?" He lowered his head and kissed her, biting her hard.

She resisted fiercely, but her body was covered with a cast and she couldn't move.

She bit him and glared at him angrily, but Pei Ziheng didn't care at all and suppressed her crazily. The long and aggressive kiss lasted for so long that Xia Ling almost suffocated.

Finally, he let her go, but his eyes were still staring at her like a ferocious beast.

Xia Ling didn't care about all this, and instinctively raised her good hand to wipe her lips vigorously. The moment his kiss fell, she was more sure of one thing than ever before - she really didn't love him anymore. A woman's body is the most honest. Now, she could no longer accept his kiss. Every cell in her body was screaming to resist.

She looked sad but wiped her lips firmly.

There was a storm gathering in Pei Ziheng's eyes, and the stormy kiss fell again. This time, it was more ruthless than last time, without any pity, biting her lips and tongue, forcing tears to leak from the corners of her eyes.

When separated.

She gasped, her body trembling slightly with humiliation and anger. Without thinking, she raised her hand to wipe her lips again. Pei Ziheng grabbed her hand with great force. This time, even if she groaned in pain, she did not relax at all. "Don't force me to kill you now." His voice was hoarse, but full of threats.

Xia Ling's heart trembled as she realized what he was saying, "You...animal!"

"Be it an animal or a beast," his voice was as gloomy as the abyss, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

She didn't dare move.

She knew better than anyone else that the man in front of her was a devil and could do anything. She closed her eyes and stopped looking at him, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

Pei Ziheng twisted the towel again and wiped her tears bit by bit.

Silence returned to the room.

Pei Ziheng looked at her pale face with her eyes closed tightly and her body trembling slightly, and a sharp pain flashed through his heart. He didn't want to hurt her, but for some reason, he always made her sad and scared.

His hands touched her face little by little.

Her body trembled again and she bit her lip tightly.

Pei Ziheng wanted to tell her not to be afraid. He wanted to tell her, can we start over? But this sentence seemed to weigh more than a thousand dollars, and he couldn't say it no matter what, because he knew her answer, and she would definitely... refuse.

knocking.

Pei Ziheng withdrew the hand that touched her cheek, and the sadness in his expression disappeared, returning to his usual calm and calm look: "Come in."

The door opened, and the person who came in was Chu Chen, holding a document in his hand.
