The scoundrel expression on Ling Jingâs face made Su Peizhen frown. She tried, but she didnât push him away. She looked at him coldly, and her tone didnât change at all.
âDoes it have anything to do with me? Did I ask you to pick me up? And if you donât bring me, Will I appear there?â
âWoman.âLing Jing was so angry that he lowered his head and bit her neck. âLet me tell you, you have to pay it back today, or else ââ
He hugged Su Peizhen and turned around. His tone was full of threats. âI donât mind making it so that you canât get out of bed.â
Crazy.
Su Peizhen pushed him, but how could a manâs strength be comparable to hers?
He restrained her limbs and didnât let her escape. He looked down at her face with a slight smile.
âHow is it? Do you admit defeat?â
âAre you going to let me go?â
âArenât you going to pay me back?â
..
Su Peizhen took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She stared at Ling Jingâs long and narrow eyes with hidden anger in her voice.
âWhat do you want?â
âYou owe me twice and stay with me for two days. Itâs not too much, right?â
âI said, I have to go to work.â
âDonât worry. If you donât work for one day, you will close down. You Donât have to open this company anymore.â
Su Peizhen narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the scoundrel on Ling Jingâs face. âWho told you that I run a company?â
Her bright eyes were full of sharpness. Even though she was suppressed by him, her aura didnât decrease.
âYou still need someone to tell me that.âLing Jing leaned over and kissed her face. His expression was as light as usual. âYou took two million packs of me for half a year. Donât tell me that youâre just an ordinary white-collar worker.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This reasoning was also reasonable. Su Peizhen glanced at him. âCan you let me go first?â
âNo.âLing Jing was very shameless. âYou pay the debt first.â
If it was before yesterday, Su Peizhen would have kicked this man to the point where he couldnât take care of himself.
Thinking of being pulled by this crazy man to crash a car and almost having a car accident yesterday, although her voice was still very cold, she didnât struggle anymore.
âHow do you want to pay it back? Letâs make it clear first, Iâm not going out.âIt was too cold outside. Even though she was used to the temperature in Rongcheng, she still didnât like the dry feeling of the wind on her face.
âIf youâre not going out, then Iâm not going out. How about you stay at home with me for a day?â
Childish. Su Peizhen resisted the urge to beat the man up. âIf I donât have sex, Iâm still very uncomfortable.â
Her legs were soft, and her waist was sore. She really didnât want to come again.
âOkay, as long as you accompany me for one day.âLing Jing seemed to be very happy that he had achieved his goal.
He smiled with a faint smile on his face. When he smiled, his eyes were very bright. They were obviously Red Phoenix eyes, but there was no femininity in them. It only made people feel that this personâs smile was very â
She thought of the next word to describe a manâs smile. Su.
Ling Jingâs smile made people feel that he was indeed quite su. She tapped on his chest, indicating for him to let go of her.
Knowing that she would not run away today, Ling Jing got up and turned around to hug her waist. âWe agreed that you would accompany me all day today.â
âYou are very annoying.â
âIf you scold me again, I will force you to do it again. No, one more day.â
Su Peizhen didnât intend to continue going crazy with him. She got up to tidy herself up. She was too lazy to cook, so she called Xiao Zhao to send breakfast over.
She didnât really like to eat takeout. Although she could accept lowering some of the requirements in life. But she still persisted.
Xiao Zhao came very quickly and brought Chinese breakfast from a five-star hotel.
Su Peizhen and Ling Jing sat together to eat breakfast. The manâs gaze was fixed on her. Even though she tried her best to ignore it, she still felt as if there was a knife at her back.
âWhat are you looking at?â
âIâm Looking at you.âLing Jing stopped eating. âIâm looking at you because youâre beautiful.â
Crazy. Su Peizhen lowered her head and ignored this guy. Ling Jing was very interested. âSay, youâre so beautiful. Why Donât you go find a boyfriend?â
Could it be that he was still thinking about that Huo Guy? Tsk. What kind of judgment was that.
Su Peizhen took his words as a hint. She raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly. âThe agreement between US doesnât seem to include the right for you to interfere in my affairs?â
âHow is this interfering? Iâm just curious. I want to ask. is that not okay?â
Su Peizhen put down the milk in her hand and leaned back slightly. âWhat About You? Youâre so young. You Donât have a good job, but you have to be someoneâs Gigolo?â
â...âLing Jing was speechless. She was the one who suggested it, okay?
He didnât say anything, and Su Peizhen got some peace and quiet.
After dinner, she wanted to go to the study room, but Ling Jing pulled her to sit on the sofa in the living room.
âDidnât you say youâll accompany me? Then youâre not allowed to deal with business, any business at all.â
Su Peizhen glanced at him. âWhat do you want?â
âI want you to accompany me.â
âWhen you say you want to accompany me, are you just going to sit like this?â
âThen watch TV.âLing Jing turned on the TV as he spoke. âI originally wanted you to accompany me to watch a movie outside, but you said you wouldnât go out.â
The Li family Villa had a screening room. When they wanted to watch something, they could watch it directly at home.
In such a small apartment, only the TV could watch it. Ling Jing held her in one hand and the remote control in the other. He randomly changed a few channels. They were all melodramatic romantic dramas or Qing palace dramas.
Not to mention Ling Jing, Su Peizhen herself was the first one not to watch them.
âWatch this.âLing Jing stopped the remote control in his hand. Su Peizhen glanced at the screen. It was actually showing âCherry Ball.â.
She glanced at Ling Jing with a look of unspeakable disdain.
âWhat kind of Look is that? Donât look down on cartoons. I should look at Cherry Ball since youâre half dead.â
Crazy. Su Peizhen wanted to get up from his arms.
âYou can look if you want to, but I wonât.â
âDonât be like this. Havenât you heard? As long as youâre alive, youâll definitely encounter good things. Donât you think itâs very inspiring and chicken soup?â
In fact, Ling Jing had never seen Cherry Ball before, but the author of this manga seemed to have passed away some time ago. There were reports on the news, so he casually took a few glances.
He didnât read the main contents of his life and past seriously, but he remembered this sentence.
Su Peizhen finally had some expression on her face. She turned her face to look at Ling Jing with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
âThe so-called chicken soup is for those who are not strong-willed. A truly strong person doesnât need chicken soup at all.â
âThat makes sense.âLing Jing nodded and placed the remote control in Su Peizhenâs hand. âThen you choose. What do you want to see?â
Su Peizhen glanced at him. After thinking for a moment, she took the remote control.
Ling Jing didnât expect that Su Peizhen was actually watching âShawshankâs redemptionâ. He couldnât help but glance at her, but Su Peizhen didnât look at him. She just fixed her eyes on the scene.
It was a very heavy movie. There was almost no fun to be had.
From the beginning, it was a heavy color, a gray prison, and a gray sky. But there seemed to be something else in that gray.
Su Peizhen listened to the original sound. The main character in it, Andy Dufresne, looked at his old Buddy Rhett, who had been with him for decades. He said, âI hope itâs a good thing.â
Ling Jing looked at Su Peizhenâs lips moving. He pulled her waist into his arms. âDidnât you say that strong people donât need chicken soup?â
Su Peizhen was silent. At this moment, Ling Jing gently bit her earlobe. âSo, you admit that you need chicken soup?â
So you admit that her will is not firm?
Su Peizhen ignored him. She indeed did not need chicken soup. But before this, she had been competing with herself.
But after last night, Su Peizhen suddenly reconciled with her.
Whether it was a tragedy in life, a comedy, sadness, or sadness. Even if the heart was empty, no matter what, it was good to be alive.
Almost every one of the women sister Shi mentioned had their own past that they had no choice about.
The Tragedy of life was sometimes hard to explain in a word. It was better to face what had happened and what was in the past than to avoid it.
Rather than struggling, it was better to let it go.
The phone rang. Su Peizhen frowned slightly and pushed Ling Jing away. She got up and went to get the phone.
Looking at the number on it, she was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a few seconds, she picked it up.
She didnât speak, but Su Chenghui wasnât angry at all.
âPeizhen, you finally picked up my call. I called you on New Yearâs Day, why didnât you pick up?â
âOutside.âPreviously, she had brought Xiang caiping abroad. At first, she had forgotten to bring her cell phone. Later, when she saw it, she didnât know if she should call back.
âI called you on the Lantern Festival, but you didnât pick up.âSu Chenghuiâs voice was a little worried. âPeizhen, are you still blaming Dad?â
Blaming?
Su Peizhen didnât know what to say. Xiang caiping liked to say that too. Did Su Chenghui like to say that too?
âNo.â
She didnât blame anyone.
âThen, dad is in Rongcheng now. I want to see you and have a meal together. Is that okay?â
Su Peizhen didnât agree immediately. Her lips formed a straight line. After thinking for a while, she said, âDoes she know?â
Without a title, Su Peizhen believed that Su Chenghui knew what she meant.
âQianxue knows. Donât think too much. Your... your aunt isnât that kind of person.â
Su Chenghui wanted to say your mother, but this title was no longer appropriate.
Su Peizhen remained silent. She wanted to see Su Chenghui. After all, he was her father, and he loved her so much. But â
âJust the two of us?â
âYes. Just the two of us. Do you want to come?â
Su Peizhen tightened her grip on her phone, but she began to walk into the room. âWhere is the address?â
âIâm not familiar with Rongcheng. Why Donât you tell me the place?âSu Chenghui had actually been to Rongcheng many times, but he respected his daughterâs opinion more.
âOkay. Then letâs go to the Plum Garden.âSu Peizhen went into the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and started to pick out clothes. âIâll send you the address later.â
After hanging up the phone, Su Peizhen changed her clothes, picked up her bag, and put her phone on. When she was about to go out, she saw Ling Jing blocking the door of the room with a dissatisfied look on his face. âYouâre going out?â
âYes.â
âYou said you wouldnât go out.â
Su Peizhen looked at her like she was looking at a fool. âI have something to do. Move aside.â
âI want to go too.âLing Jing was being a scoundrel today. This damnable woman, she said she wanted to return him, but she ran away again?
It really made him want to teach her a hard lesson.
Su Peizhen took a step back and looked at him coldly. âAre you going to let her go?â
âNo.âLing Jing was tall and stood in front of the door, not giving Su Peizhen any chance to go out.
âLing Jing.âSu Peizhenâs face darkened. âDonât forget your identity. What right do you have to stop me?â
It was fine if she didnât mention her identity, but once she mentioned her identity, Ling Jing immediately exploded.
He took two steps forward and pressed Su Peizhen against the wall. âWhat identity do I have? HMM? Tell me.â
âIâm just a gigolo.âSu Peizhen didnât mind how hurtful these words were. But it was the truth. âLing Jing, if you still want to continue, get out of my way.â
âWoman.âLing Jing was so angry that he lowered his head and was about to bite her lips. How could Su Peizhen let him have his way? She tilted her head and pushed him.
âLing Jing, donât forget that I can break off this relationship at any time.â
âWoman, donât forget that you still owe me twice.â
What do you mean âoweâ? Didnât he say it himself? Su Peizhen didnât want to waste time with him. Seeing that he was about to get closer, she raised her foot and kicked at his lower body.
Ling Jing didnât expect that this damn woman would still dare to make a move at this time?
Su Peizhen didnât give him a chance to react. She wasnât a person who had the patience to come and play such an âUnimportantârole like Ling Jing.
âLing Jing, Iâll say it one more time. Stop messing around.â
That word âmessing aroundâmade Ling Jing stop what he was doing. What did it mean?
What did she do to him? Did she think he was a woman? Crying and making a scene?
In her dreams. He was a man.
Damn woman, just you wait. Do you think I canât do anything to You? Iâm waiting for the day you come to beg me.
..
What Ling Jing thought was not within Su Peizhenâs consideration. She got into the car. When she drove out of the underground parking lot, she glanced at the Cadillac parked at the side.
Her tone just now was not very good, but she really did not like Ling Jingâs increasingly shameless attitude.
If a pet that she raised could not have some self-awareness, then she would change people. After all, she didnât care about men.
But when the car stopped at the plum garden, Su Peizhen had already completely calmed down. Although it was indeed Ling Jing who asked her to accompany him today, she had promised him.
Since she had promised someone else, she naturally had to do it. She had broken her promise. No Wonder Ling Jing was angry.
He could probably understand Ling Jingâs mentality. After all, she was his financier. It seemed normal for him to want her to accompany him.
Forget it. Iâll accompany him tomorrow.
When Su Peizhen entered the room, Su Chenghui happened to be here. When he saw her, he smiled. He walked up and sized her up.
âDad.â
âPeizhen.âSu Chenghui retracted his gaze and looked at Su Peizhenâs face. He noticed that she looked pretty good. âYouâre here. Have you been waiting for a long time?â
âNo, I just arrived too.â
When Su Peizhen arrived, she had already made a reservation. It was not easy to make a reservation here. Fortunately, it was not the weekend, so there were not many people.
She booked a small private room and brought Su Chenghui in to sit down.
After the daily greetings, the two of them entered a state of silence. The waiter brought in some tea and poured it for them. He took out a tablet and let them order.
Su Chenghui took the tablet from the waiter and looked at the pictures on it. Then, he looked up at Su Peizhen.
âBeijing-style lobster, braised abalone, soft-fried fresh shellfish, amber peach kernel, clear soup, swallow vegetable, osmanthus and sugar lotus root. How does Peizhen feel about the flying dragon soup?â
Su Peizhen didnât say anything. These dishes were her favorite in the past. She nodded and said, âItâs okay.â
âThen thatâs it.âSu Chenghui returned the tablet to the waiter.
Only the father and daughter were left in the private room. For a moment, there was silence. After the room quieted down, Su Chenghui spoke first.
âHow have you been recently?â
âIâm fine.â
She looked pretty good. Su Chenghui knew that this daughter of his had always been proud, but he was afraid that she wouldnât be used to it.
He was even more afraid that after experiencing the ups and downs of life, there would be times when she wouldnât be used to it.
âPeizhen, I actually came here a few days ago. I went to see Qingsang. Are you angry?â
âNo.âWhat was there to be angry about? She was already angry. Yesterday, she almost lost her life because of this.
Su Peizhen did not want to continue this topic. These so-called debts and guilt were worthless to her after the incident. She picked up the teapot and poured su Chenghui a cup of tea. âThis Junshan silver needle is not bad.â
Su Chenghui could clearly see that she had not let go of her escape. Although her daughterâs personality was not like that in the past, who knew if it would change after so many things?
âPeizhen, have you ever thought of returning to Forest City?â
âReturn to Forest City?âSu Peizhenâs hand that was holding the teacup paused. âWhy return to Forest City?â
âLook, youâre in Rongcheng, so far away from Lin City. If anything happens, I canât take care of you. If you were in Lin City, dad would be able to take care of you.â
âNo need.âSu Peizhen lowered her head and didnât look at him. âIâm not a child anymore. I donât need someone to take care of me.â
This was a bit like saying angry words. âPeizhen ââ
âDad, stop talking. I Wonât go back to Forest City. Besides, if I go back, what will happen to my mother?â
Xiang caiping had nothing now and was the only one left.
With Xiang Caipingâs personality, how could she be willing to go back to Forest City?
Su Chenghui didnât speak. There was a chance to make up for some guilt. However, there was a bit of guilt that he couldnât make up for in this lifetime.
What he owed Xiang caiping could never be made up for.
âIt doesnât matter if you donât come back. If you have something to say, just tell me.âSu Chenghui was afraid that she would mind, so he added, âIn Dadâs heart, you will always be my daughter. This will never change.â
âOkay.âSu Peizhen lowered her head, and her eyes were a little sour. She suppressed that emotion.
The waiter began to serve the dishes. Su Chenghui knew that Su Peizhen would not go back with him, so he talked about other things.
âPreviously, I invested in some projects in Rongcheng. Although I didnât have the largest share and investment, it was still a lot. I donât often have time to stay here. Peizhen, I believe in your ability. If you are willing, dad wants to hand some of these things over to you. How about it?â
âNo need.âSu Peizhen shook her head. âMy mother has two department stores under her name. I am currently managing them. I have something to do.â
âI know, but such a small company is a little too big for you. I am very clear about your ability. I was serious when I said those words. Peizhen, I really hope that you can come and help me?â
It was to help, but also to give her more opportunities to display her strengths. Su Peizhen understood. She lowered her head and remained silent.
