Chapter 373 Discharge
No matter how hard I try, nothing will come of it.
Sister Maina guessed that she had something to hide, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, and I will help you find a solution! Whether it is calling the police, exposing it to the media, or waiting for the boss to come back and use the power of the Li family, we I will definitely help you solve your problem! Don’t keep it in your heart, do you really want to stay by Pei Ziheng’s side forever?!”
She didn't want to, but so what if she didn't want to?
"Thank you for coming to see me." Xia Ling turned her head and gave Sister Mai Na a reluctant smile, "There is no coercion, I am voluntary. If Li Lei returns to China one day, don't let him come to see me."
"How could he not come to you?"
"Tell him that I'm no longer in love." Xia Ling took off the amulet around her neck and handed it to Sister Mai Na, "This is what he gave me. Please help me return it to him. If he doesn't want it, Let him return it to the master who made the amulet." Her cold fingertips touched Sister Mai Na's hand, and she squeezed it quietly in her palm.
Sister Maina was secretly shocked, but on the surface, she put away the amulet with a sad look.
"Xiao Ling, you are so cruel," Sister Maina said, "I will help you return the things to the boss."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left the ward.
Xia Ling looked at her back and took a deep breath.
These days, she has been thinking about how to break the poisonous oath. After much thought, perhaps, she can only turn to her brother, the National Preceptor Xia Moyan for help. She won't give up until she finds Xia Moyan.
She asked Sister Maina to hand over the amulet in the hope that Li Lei would understand what she meant and go find Xia Moyan. There was a bug installed by Pei Ziheng in this ward, and every conversation between her and Sister Maina was monitored. She could only convey the message in such a subtle way.
hope everything is fine.
In the evening, Pei Ziheng came to visit her.
I brought her a gift. Inside the beautiful packaging box was a lavender pearl necklace. The full and round natural pearls were full of sparkle and were worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Put it on and see if you like it." He said.
"Why did you suddenly give me this?" Xia Ling did not pick it up.
Pei Ziheng took the necklace out of the box, carefully unscrewed the buckle, and put it on her fair and graceful neck. "It looks much better than the amulet." He looked at it and said.
Only then did Xia Ling realize that it seemed that the conversation with Sister Maina in the afternoon had indeed been monitored. She returned the amulet to Li Lei, so he gave her a necklace to wear. What is this? Commendation?
Xia Ling felt uncomfortable for a while and reached out to pick off the necklace.
"Don't like it?" He held her hand.
Only sarcasm comes out of your mouth.
However, seeing his faint frown, she held back. Forget it, it's better not to anger him. With great difficulty, she got in touch with Sister Maina and conveyed the message she wanted to convey. Maybe in the near future, Li Lei will be able to find her brother, and will his brother be able to break that poisonous oath? What she has to do now is to wait quietly without causing any complications.
So, she said calmly: "I'm just not used to wearing such expensive jewelry."
His eyebrows relaxed and he said, "In the past two years, you have suffered outside. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will buy you whatever you like. I still have a lot of your old jewelry at home, from bracelets to earrings. "
In her previous life, she had piles of jewelry that could open a museum. They were so luxurious and luxurious that any piece she took out would be worthless. But in this life, she has lost interest in these trinkets filled with money. When Pei Ziheng counted the treasures, she just said "hmm" in a depressed tone.
But Pei Ziheng seemed to have finally found a way to please her: "There are also clothes, shoes and hats, all the high-end dresses, daily dresses, high heels, sunglasses, handbags... Every season, there are people who specialize in maintenance, and they are with you every time. Exactly the same. However, you are now thinner and not as tall than before, and the size of your clothes no longer fits. You need to ask a tailor to change them. If you like new ones, we will buy new ones."
Xia Ling listened quietly, wanting to tell him that there was no need to buy or change anything. Now she was just a puppet in his hands. No matter how beautiful she was, what was the use?
He talked for a while, but when he saw that she was not enthusiastic, he stopped talking.
Nowadays, she is much more difficult to raise than before. In the past, no matter what little thing he did, she admired and relied on him so much, but now? Even if you pile up gold and silver in front of her, you can't get a sincere smile back. Pei Ziheng knew that he had brought this on himself, and he could only spend his whole life making up for the mistakes he made.
Fortunately, they still have a long enough time.
He had dinner with her, peeled fruit for her, stayed with her until late, and put her to bed.
The main light in the ward went out, leaving only dim light. Pei Ziheng leaned over to cover her with a soft quilt and kissed her lips. It has been like this every night these days. Maybe he can indulge her in many things, but this will never include her rejecting his kiss. It’s like a ceremony announcing ownership.
Whenever this happens, Xia Ling will feel scared and her body will tremble slightly.
Because she could sense the deep desire in his eyes, the devouring heat that seemed to burn everything to death. She knew very well that Pei Ziheng wanted her and wanted to get everything from her - her heart and her body like he did in his previous life. She guessed that if it weren't for the fact that she was still injured, perhaps Pei Ziheng would no longer be patient.
This realization made her panic.
Now that she was Li Lei, she could no longer accept another man, not even Pei Ziheng. However, how long can she remain innocent in the face of Pei Ziheng's strong will?
If he wanted to, she wouldn't have any way to protect herself.
Not at all.
Sleepless nights.
The injury healed very slowly, but Xia Ling was very happy. At least when she was in poor health, he would not do anything excessive. She wished she could stay in the hospital ward forever.
However, his health gradually improved, and the day of discharge from the hospital came.
Pei Ziheng personally came to pick her up from the hospital and extended his hand to her in front of all the doctors, nurses and entourage. Just like he did in the orphanage many years ago, he said: "Xiao Ling, come, come home with me."
Sitting in his Rolls-Royce, they returned to their former home.
Not the miserable place where she was imprisoned in the last year of her previous life, but the real home where they lived together when their love was strong. Every plant, every tree, every piece of furniture, every decoration here was carefully selected by Xia Ling. In the past, she spent countless efforts to decorate this home, but now she is standing here, living in a world away from home.
Like a big dream.
