âTell me. Iâm listening.âWhen Ling Jing spoke, he kissed her neck again. Su Peizhen pushed him away firmly once again and sat up.
âWhat are you doing?âWhen the two of them took a shower together, he wanted to do it once, but she refused, saying that it was too tiring to do it in the bathroom.
Now that he had changed the venue, she wouldnât let him.
Ling Jing was a little dissatisfied. He turned his head and wanted to continue. Su Peizhen held his face in her hands and forced him to look at her.
âWoman, what are you doing?â
âLing Jing, stop fooling around. Iâm talking about serious matters.â
âEn. Go ahead. Iâm listening.â
âBe Serious.âSu Peizhenâs attitude made Ling Jing sit up straight as she waved his hands away.
âLing Jing, I agreed to be with you because I have feelings for you. I want to give you a chance, and I also want to give myself a chance.â
She had never loved anyone other than her family, whether it was Chou Yanbo, who was once engaged, or Huo Yifan.
Half of her heart was empty. And she wanted to try the feeling of not being so empty.
âLing Jing, I hope you can respect me.â
âHow am I Not Respecting You?âLing Jing felt wronged. He raised his eyebrows, unable to hide the aggrieved look on his face.
âThis.âSu Peizhen finally applied a thick foundation on her neck today, only then did she let herself walk out. âI remember I told you not to leave marks on me, especially such obvious places.â
She was wearing a shirt today. Her collar was high, but Lin feixing still saw it.
She even had reason to suspect that Ling Jing did it on purpose.
Ling Jing looked at the mark. There was no guilt on his face as Su Peizhen thought. He even smiled proudly.
âEh? I just realized. TSK, so beautiful.â
â...âshe couldnât communicate with him anymore. Su Peizhen looked at him. âLing Jing, Iâm serious.â
âIâm serious too.âLing Jing pointed at her scar. âI think itâs like a rose, as beautiful as you. How Beautiful.â
Su Peizhen rubbed the space between her eyebrows. âI want to go to work, and I want to appear in front of others. I donât want others to give me such an impression. Itâs not appropriate. âEspecially if the client or collaborator sees it, they will have a very strong impression.â
âLing Jing, if you really like me as you say, I hope you will respect me.â
After a moment of silence, the smile on Ling Jingâs face disappeared. âAre you angry?â
Why did this person always miss the main point?
Su Peizhen sighed. Forget it. She treated Ling Jing as a child. A young boy who was younger than her and psychologically immature.
âIâm not angry. I just want to tell you that the relationship between a man and a woman should be based on equality and mutual respect. This logic is like, I respect you, and I will accommodate everything about you according to my greatest tolerance. âI also hope that you respect me, respect my bottom line and perseverance. âAnd also respect my life circle, which may not be quite the same as yours. âDo you understand?â
Su Peizhen said it very seriously.
She was a noble girl who was taught by Li Qianxue. There were some things that she had her bottom line and perseverance.
It was okay to joke in private, it was okay to be together, and it was okay to fall in love. Even if Ling Jing was really unwilling and didnât want to work for the rest of his life, she could understand. Even though she didnât agree with that.
This society was very diverse. She had experienced the ups and downs of life. She could withstand different things and different people in this world.
Since she had chosen Ling Jing, who had moved her heart, she didnât want to break up easily. She had also considered the possibility of the two of them ending up together.
However, whether the two of them could make it to the end did not depend on her choice and perseverance alone. It also depended on the other party. She did not have too many requirements for Ling Jing.
However, the most basic requirement was to treat her lover with respect and equality. If she could not do this, she did not mind letting Ling Jing out right now.
Her eyes revealed her attitude. Ling Jing suddenly stopped talking.
His lips were pursed into a line, and his expression seemed to be unhappy. He didnât speak, and Su Peizhen didnât speak either.
She had her bottom line and perseverance. In some aspects, she definitely wouldnât give in.
The air was frozen. Ling Jing looked at her for a long time before suddenly reaching out to hug her.
âI did it on purpose.â
Rubbing his face against hers, Ling Jing raised his head to look at her. His pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with resentment.
âYou are so beautiful and so capable. I think there are many men who are pursuing you. The last one was your pursuer. Wasnât it? I did this to let them know that you are mine now. Mine.â
Su Peizhen looked at him and suddenly thought of Su Yuxin.
Seriously speaking, although Su Yuxin was seven or eight years younger than her, she wasnât as childish as Ling Jing.
On the contrary, Su Yuxin knew what she wanted from a very young age. For example, he once had the opportunity to skip a grade, but he didnât want it. He said that he preferred to enjoy life.
Another example was that Su Yuxin had the opportunity to go abroad, but he felt that he should first go to university in China. He wanted to experience the atmosphere of a university in China. He could go abroad and study abroad whenever he wanted. He was currently preparing to enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Su Chenghui had mentioned this to her before.
Ling Jing was the complete opposite of Su Yuxin. In fact, Ling Jing was older than Su Yuxin, but in some aspects, he was really childish.
Thinking about it, it was actually good. The adult world was full of twists and turns. It was actually very rare to find someone as simple and direct as Ling Jing.
What in this world was more precious than a pure and innocent heart?
âLing Jing, letting others know is not a way to prove it. In fact, in my heart, I have already chosen you. This is the biggest affirmation. We donât need other peopleâs acknowledgment. You also donât need other peopleâs acknowledgment.â
She thought about it and raised her hand to caress his cheek. Her forehead pressed against his, as if she was taking care of a little brother.
âAfter all, people live in this world. Thereâs no need for everyone to admit it. Thereâs also no need for everyone to admit it.â
âThen why are you still talking about me?â
Since she didnât care about other peopleâs opinions, why should she care about a hickey that was exposed on her neck?
âThis is a matter of image.âSu Peizhen didnât think that the two were comparable. âItâs always harder for a woman to survive in this world than it is for a man. âYou asked me to bring such a Hickey out to talk about work with others. Havenât you ever thought about what others think of me? âYes. âIndeed, I donât care about what others think. âBut this is the most basic respect for people, the most basic courtesy when talking about business with others. âThe meaning is different. âCan you understand?â
Her rare patience. She had even forgotten when she last talked to others so patiently.
She had a bright and beautiful appearance, and she gave off a charming and arrogant feeling. At this moment, she was holding Ling Jingâs chin with both hands and looking at him fixedly.
Her brows and eyes were gentle, and her facial features were gentle. For a moment, Ling Jing actually felt maternal instinct in Su Peizhen. His heart beat faster by two beats. For a moment, he actually didnât dare to look Su Peizhen in the eye.
He shook his head and pulled her hand down.
âOkay. I understand. I Wonât do this next time, okay? Donât be angry.â
âIâm not angry.âSu Peizhen looked at his tone, which was exactly the same as a childâs, and still felt a little helpless.
âLing Jing, itâs a very good thing for a person to live in this world and not care about othersâopinions and act rashly. âBut occasionally, we still need to take into account the opinions of others. Itâs not to curry favor, but to make our lives more smooth.â
âI donât know what your family was like when you were young. But I think there are some things you should learn to understand and accept. That way, you can become more and more mature.â
â...âLing Jing was only silent at this moment, pulling her hand and drawing circles.
âMaturity doesnât mean that we blindly follow the laws of this world. It also means that we have learned to live as happily and comfortably as possible under the existence of these laws.â
Ling Jing looked at Su Peizhen. He had taken off her clothes just now. Now he was lecturing him with nothing.
But he seemed to see a pair of wings behind her, the wings of an angel.
This kind of beauty that mixed the contradictions made his eyes darken.
He suddenly turned over and pressed Su Peizhen under him. His eyes gradually reddened, which explained his current mood.
His hands became a little anxious.
âLing Jing?â
âOkay, Iâll listen to you.â
Ling Jing lowered his head to kiss her, and his voice disappeared in her lips.
âIâll definitely do my best to make myself comfortable, so ââ
There was no need to say the rest of the words. Su Peizhen understood. She felt a little helpless, but she didnât stop him.
She found that she was quite patient with Ling Jing. There were some things that he could slowly change.
..
Xiang caiping looked at Su Peizhen, and her slightly furrowed brows expressed his current mood. The expression of wanting to say something but stopping had been hanging on for a long time. In the end, it was Su Peizhen who took the initiative to speak.
âMom, if you have something to say, just say it. Weâre mother and daughter. You Donât have to feel awkward in front of me.â
âI just want to ask, Whatâs wrong with Feixing? You ââ
When she went out to buy groceries with Xiao Ye yesterday, she met Lin Feixing. She asked Lin Feixing to come over to the house, but she didnât expect Lin Feixing to say that he and Su Peizhen were not together now.
âDidnât you promise me to give him a chance before?â
After all, he was a man with such good conditions, and he didnât care about Su Peizhenâs past. It was really hard to find him.
âMom, I gave him a chance.â
Su Peizhen really gave him a chance. But she didnât have any feelings for Lin feixing.
Some people appeared not early or late, but because it happened to be that person, who just happened to appear at this time.
âBut, you, you didnât get along well for a few days. You ââ
âMom, feelings donât depend on the length of time, but on the momentary feeling of being moved.â
Saying this in front of Xiang caiping felt a little strange. Su Peizhen felt a little uncomfortable. She cleared her throat.
âMom, in short, I know what to do. Donât worry.âIt was impossible for her and Lin Feixing. In fact, even without Ling Jing, she wouldnât feel moved by Lin Feixing.
âPeizhen.âHow could she not be worried? Xiang caiping really thought Lin Feixing was a good person. âDo you know Feixing is really a good person? He ââ
âMom, I said it. I know he is good, but no matter how good he is, he is not what I like.â
Xiang caiping did not speak. Her expression was conflicted again. Su Peizhen held her forehead and started to feel a headache again.
âMom, itâs true. Look, Iâm already so old. Donât treat me like a child.â
She tried her best to soften her tone. Su Peizhen was actually a little helpless towards Xiang caiping in some aspects.
âMom, believe me. I really know what Iâm doing.â
Xiang caiping nodded. What else could she do if she didnât believe?
Su Peizhen had made her own choice anyway.
..
When Su Peizhen returned to Rong Yuan, she had just parked her car when she bumped into Ling Jing who had just returned. Ling Jing got out of the Cadillac. He had a cold face and seemed to be unhappy.
He was wearing a custom-made suit. With his model figure, he gave people a very different feeling when he wore a suit.
Su Peizhen was not in a hurry to get out of the car. She looked at Ling Jing and suddenly had a feeling. Ling Jingâs appearance seemed to be his original appearance.
On the other side, Ling Jing, who was about to enter the elevator, found Su Peizhenâs car. He smiled and came in this direction.
âYouâre back?â
The smile on his face was too su. It was as if she was hallucinating when she saw Ling Jingâs cold face.
âWhatâs Wrong?âLing Jing met her gaze and glanced at himself. âDo you think Iâm very handsome today?â
Su Peizhen didnât answer his question. She looked at Ling Jing, who was wearing a formal suit and looked extremely formal, like a prince who had walked out of a castle. She frowned slightly. âWhat are you doing?â
âNothing.âLing Jingâs expression changed slightly, but only for a moment.
âI have an interview today.âLing Jing curled his lips and pulled Su Peizhen into his arms. âSo, what do you think of this outfit? Isnât it very handsome?â
âInterview?â
âYes?âLing Jing nodded. âI have an interview this afternoon, so Iâm wearing this.â
Su Peizhen didnât say anything. Ling Jing had worn a suit before, but when he wore it, he also unbuttoned his shirt and rolled up his sleeves, looking casual.
It was completely different from the imposing manner when he got off the car just now. That kind of imposing manner felt familiar to her, as if she had seen it on someone before.
âWhatâs Wrong?â
Ling Jing had a very important meeting today, and he had to attend it himself. But he didnât expect that after talking to those old foxes for a long time, it wouldnât end.
What was even more ridiculous was that his good brothers, one, two, three, four, were all rushing to make things difficult for him.
Looking at Su Peizhen now, he naturally thought of his gloomy mood when he got out of the car just now.
âYou ââ
Another car drove into the parking lot. Su Peizhen had no intention of standing here and arguing with Ling Jing. She glanced at him, indicating for him to go upstairs first.
Ling Jing followed behind her, and the two of them entered the elevator together.
There was a camera in the elevator. Ling Jing wanted to come over and hold Su Peizhenâs waist, but she gently removed his hand.
âWhatâs Wrong?â
Ling Jing turned his face to look at her, and Su Peizhen glanced at him. When he showed such a childish expression, he was completely different from before. The space between her brows furrowed slightly.
