Chapter 555 A War with No Retreat
Across a fence, she stopped and did not open the door for him.
At dusk, there is a faint fragrance of flowers in the air. Pei Ziheng lowered his head and looked at the petite girl inside the door, his tone was always gentle: "Won't you invite me in to sit down?"
Xia Ling said: "He will be unhappy."
The shadow of the setting sun obscured the expression on Pei Ziheng's face.
The two stood quietly for a while, then Xia Ling sneezed.
Pei Ziheng asked: "Do you have a cold?"
Xia Ling rubbed her nose and said, "It's not very serious." In fact, her current condition was worse than that in the morning, but in the morning she could act like a spoiled child in Li Lei's arms, but at this moment, there was no one suitable for acting like a spoiled child. She had to be careful to keep a distance from Pei Ziheng, for fear that Li Lei would be heartbroken and that she would not be able to spend the past three years in peace.
The tip of Pei Ziheng's nose turned red when he looked at her, and her eyes were watery, which made people feel distressed. She was like a sickly little beast hiding behind the fence, lying softly and looking at people with some caution, but very cute.
He said, "I asked Mama Zhou to stew rock sugar and snow pear soup for you." Early this morning, Mr. Li sent someone to tell him that Xiao Ling would move here, but he did not say that she had a cold. Pei Ziheng was originally very satisfied with Mr. Li's knowledge, but now he was a little sulky because they didn't take good care of her.
Xia Ling was feeling groggy due to illness. Thinking of the delicious taste of rock sugar snow pear, she almost nodded in agreement. Fortunately, her rationality caught her at the last moment, and she shook her head with difficulty, "I won't eat."
"You used to like food."
"Don't eat."
She actually wanted to cry. There was nothing in the villa, she couldn't cook, and she was too sick to go out and buy things. What should she do? Just as he was thinking about whether to call his assistant, a man walked over from the other end of the path outside the fence. His figure was no less perfect than Pei Ziheng's, and his light-colored sportswear vaguely outlined his strong chest muscles. It's Li Lei.
He was originally handling matters at Tianyi, but when he received Xia Ling's message, he didn't even return to the apartment, so he went directly to the villa according to the address. He found out that this place was next door to Pei Ziheng, and Li Lei was also feeling bad. What was Grandpa's plan? He also knew it well. From a distance, I saw Pei Ziheng standing at his sister's door, talking peacefully across a fence.
Li Lei's heart rang with alarm bells, and he quickly stepped forward to stand in front of the two of them.
"Li Lei." Looking at him, Xia Ling's eyes lit up. He looked even more handsome under the setting sun, with his deep facial features coated with a layer of mysterious dark gold, as if he had returned from a distant horizon.
He looked very energetic, which was strange. They both had colds in the morning, so how come in the evening, she looked so serious, but he seemed fine?
"Have you recovered from your cold?" she asked.
"This little illness is nothing to worry about." Li Lei said. He had always had a good physical condition and could easily handle it. He said to Xia Ling, "Let me in and I'll make you dinner."
He knew Xiao Ling too well and knew that she must not have eaten at this time.
Classmate Xia Xiaoling was beaming. She was just thinking about what to make for dinner when the boss automatically brought it to her door. "I want to eat pear stewed with rock sugar." She said sweetly, opening the door to let the boss in.
Li Lei passed by Pei Ziheng.
Pei Ziheng's expression was gloomy, and he clenched his fist secretly with one hand.
Li Lei was satisfied and very proud. He walked into the yard, turned around and closed the fence door. He did not forget to say to Pei Ziheng: "I advise you to give up this idea."
Pei Ziheng pursed his lips coldly. He is not a person who is good at verbal disputes, but he will use actions to show who is the final winner. Seeing Li Lei gently hugging her into the foyer, Pei Ziheng also turned around and returned to his villa. It doesn't matter, there's a long way to go.
Li Lei was in a good mood because Xiao Ling let him in but not Pei Ziheng.
He gently helped her sit down on the sofa, found a blanket from the suitcase and covered her with it, then twisted a hot towel and put it on her forehead, then got up and went to the kitchen to stew rock sugar pear. The stew was ready in a short while, and I supported her body and fed her to eat in small bites.
She felt sleepy, pulling him around as if sleeping, drooling in a daze.
Li Lei wiped her with a tissue and asked softly: "Why did you move here?"
"It's all your grandpa's fault," she felt aggrieved, "he doesn't like me." As she said this, she wanted to cry. This time she really wanted to cry. Why was it so difficult to be with him? There were one level after another, When is the end? She sniffed and told her about her three-year appointment with the old man.
Li Lei heard that his grandfather was treacherous, but he didn't tell him. He would find a way to solve it, and he didn't want Xiao Ling to worry about it. "Take good care of yourself." He kissed her forehead and held her in his arms more carefully.
Xia Ling curled up in the arms of her sweetheart, feeling warm and secure. After a while, she fell asleep hazily.
Li Lei fell into a trance while looking at her sleeping face. He called in a low voice and asked a few subordinates to clean up the villa for her. They cleaned the inside and outside, replaced new curtains, and put down soft and comfortable down quilts.
He carried her to the bed, and the two of them slept in the same clothes, making do with each other all night.
The next day, Li Lei was woken up by a phone call.
The bell rang for a long time. Xia Ling in her arms frowned tightly and slept uneasily with her eyes closed. Li Lei glanced at the caller ID and saw it was the old man calling. He quickly got up and went to the terrace outside the bedroom before answering the phone: "Hello, Grandpa?"
"Now that your wings are hardened, you know you won't have to sleep at night." Mr. Li said in a bad tone.
Li Lei knew that he was here to investigate.
"Grandpa, why did you come back to China?" Li Lei decided to change the subject.
Unfortunately, the effect was not great. Mr. Li said coldly: "Li Lei, I have warned you a long time ago that you are not allowed to be with any female star. She is a widower and a widower! This is how she killed herself. My biological son, my ex-husband is still a widow, with no wife or children, and I am completely alone! Come back to me, otherwise, don’t think that I really dare not touch that female star!"
The old man has been involved in both black and white for decades. When he is angry, his voice is solemn and inviolable.
Even Li Lei was a little frightened by his last sentence. Anyway, it was time to go back and talk to the old man about Xiao Ling.
Li Lei took up the thread, turned around, and found that Xia Ling had gotten up at some point, wearing a white velvet pajamas, with a plain white and slender hand like a magnolia flower waiting to bloom in the morning light, holding the door frame, looking quietly he.
"Are you leaving?" Her voice sounded a little disappointed.
Li Lei stepped forward and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead: "I'm going to see grandpa and tell him that you are a very good woman and that we will be together."
This was a war with no retreat and he had to win.
