âThen what do you want to Do?â
Afraid that Ling Jing would think too much, she added, âI donât have to urge you to work, but as long as you are alive, you have to have something to do. After all, idling around all day is not a long-term solution.â
She didnât care if her man had a job or how much money he earned. But if Ling Jing didnât even have a formal job, Xiang caiping would be worried.
Xiang caiping had worked hard for half her life. Although it was impossible for her to really interfere with her choice. But she had to at least let Xiang caiping feel that the man she chose was reliable, right?
If Xiang caiping knew that she had found a man who was a loafer, Xiang caiping might have high blood pressure and heart disease.
Ling Jing wrapped his arms around her waist and seemed to be thinking seriously. Su Peizhen didnât rush him. After all, it was not a matter of a day or two for her to accept the change in her identity.
Holding her waist in his arms, Ling Jingâs hand caressed her waist very casually.
âHow about I become a pastry chef?â
âPastry chef?âSu Peizhen had never thought of that. âWhy would you want to do this?â
âWhen I went to the restaurant last time, I saw that you seemed to like the cake in that restaurant. If I learn how to make pastry, I can make it for you personally next time.â
Su Peizhen was stunned. The cake from that restaurant last time was indeed good, and the taste was really good.
She didnât expect that Ling Jing would take it to heart after she tasted a few more mouthfuls.
She pursed her lips and suddenly smiled. âGood. Itâs pretty good. Itâs a pretty good job.â
âThen itâs decided.âLing Jing Winked at her. âIâll find a cake shop to learn baking and western pastries.â
Seeing that Su Peizhen was silent, he held her hand. âWhat do you think? Is it really good? If you donât think itâs good, why donât you tell me what you want me to do? But I donât want to be an artist.â
Su Peizhen looked at the flattery in his eyes and shook her head. âNo, I think itâs good. Letâs do this.â
âWonât you dislike it?â
âOf course not.â
There was no nobility or inferiority in a profession. Moreover, she didnât lack money. It was good that Ling Jing had something to do, but she could afford to support him if he had nothing to do.
Most importantly, it would be good if he could find something he liked to do.
âYou go and learn. After you finish learning, Iâll invest in opening a pastry shop for me. At that time, you can be the boss yourself.â
âOkay.âLing Jing grabbed her hand and kissed her fingertips. âThen itâs settled.â
..
When Su Peizhen came out of the company, it was not yet time to get off work.
She left early today to pick up Ling Jing and pick up a gift for him.
Ling Jing came back yesterday and said that he found a dessert shop and started work today. To celebrate his first day at work, Su Peizhen wanted to give him a gift.
Thinking of Ling Jing acting as a clown just to celebrate April Foolâs Day, Su Peizhen wanted to laugh.
In fact, she didnât feel surprised. On the contrary, she felt scared. But for a man to have such intentions, she was indeed very touched in her heart.
Thinking of Ling Jingâs childish appearance, she was really a little conflicted. What should I give her.
She was lost in her thoughts, and unknowingly, she went downstairs. When she got out of the elevator, she planned to look in the direction of the boutique department. However, she heard someone call her name.
âPeizhen?â
The voice was familiar to Su Peizhen. She turned around and saw Su Qingsang behind her.
â...â
âPeizhen.âSu Qingsang was holding the hand of a little girl who looked more than one year old. The little girl was pretty and cute.
Su Peizhen was stunned for a moment. She didnât expect Su Qingsang to call her.
âOkay.âShe stood there without taking a step forward or leaving. She didnât even call Su Qingsang sister.
Compared to her coldness, Su Qingsangâs attitude was much more amiable. She picked up the pink baby in her hand and made her look at Su Peizhen.
âCome. Niannian, call me Auntie.â
Su Peizhen was stunned by this sentence. The little girl didnât seem to have seen her. She was very curious. She blinked her big eyes and looked at her.
âCall me Aunty. Nian Nian.â
âAunty.âNian Nian was more than a year old. She could say some simple words and also a few simple words.
Su Peizhen suddenly did not know how to react because of the other party calling her aunty.
She stared blankly at the little girl in front of her. The little girl was very beautiful and had perfectly inherited all the advantages of her parents. She was very cute when she called out to others in her baby voice.
She was soft and cute, making people want to hold her in their arms and love her.
âDo you want to hold her?âShe stared straight at Nian Nianâs eyes, which made Su Qingsang smile at her. She took a step forward with Nian Nian in her arms.
âNian Nian, do you want me to hold her?â
Nian Nianâs little face scrunched up. She looked at Su Peizhen, then at Su Qingsang. In the end, she nodded and reached out her hand to Su Peizhen.
âAuntie, carry me.â
Su Peizhen stood still. She was stunned, but when Nian Nian reached out her hand, she pulled her into her arms.
It was very soft. It was a small pink ball, and it smelled like milk.
She swallowed. She was not sure if she could hold it firmly. She felt anxious.
âYou have to do this. Put this hand here and this hand here.â
Su Peizhen held the child with a subtle expression. Within less than a minute, she returned niannian to Su Qingsang.
âActually, it doesnât matter. The child isnât that delicate.â
Su Qingsang took her daughter back. Su Peizhen did not reply. She rubbed her nose and looked at niannian with uncertainty.
âArenât there two?â
She heard that Su Qingsang had twins. Where was the other one?
âItâs quite noisy when you think about it. Heâs so naughty even at such a young age. His father is holding him in the childrenâs section over there. I was just holding Nian Nianâs diaper, so Iâm going to look for them now.â
âThen, you go ahead.â
Su Peizhen did not think that she had anything to say to Su Qingsang, but Su Qingsang was in high spirits.
âPeizhen.â
âYes?â
âItâs not very convenient for me to carry the child today. If you donât mind, why donât we find a coffee shop and have a chat?âSu Peizhen was afraid that Su Peizhen would overthink things, su qingsang added, âWhat I mean is that there are some things that you should know.â
She knew that Su Peizhen seemed to already have a boyfriend. However, grandfather Huo finally relented and begged Huo Jinyao to let Huo Yifan come out earlier.
After Huo Yifan came out, he was afraid that he would come looking for Su Peizhen. She knew that Su Peizhen had a boyfriend, but she had no doubt that Huo Yifan would come looking for Su Peizhen when he came out.
âTalk?âSu Peizhen frowned. âI donât think thereâs anything to talk about with you.â
As she spoke, she noticed that the little pink ball in Su Qingsangâs arms was staring at her, and her tone softened a little.
âSome things are in the past, and I wonât think about it anymore. âSome things are done, and I wonât regret it. âIf you want to hear my confession, then thereâs no need. âIâve already paid the price. âIf you think you pity me, then thereâs no need. âI donât remember when you were an illegitimate daughter. Did I ever pity you?â
âPeizhen.âSu Qingsang was not angry at her words. She hugged Nian Nian tightly in her arms. âWhat are you thinking about? Iâm your sister. Canât we sit down and chat? I also want to ask you, how is Auntie recently?â
She had always felt guilty towards Xiang caiping. But now, in order not to make Li Qianxue sad, and in order not to make Su Peizhen think too much, it was really inconvenient for her to look at caiping.
âSheâs pretty good. Sheâs in good health and in good spirits. Recently, she seems to be addicted to watching a court drama. Sheâs pretty good.â
âThatâs good.âSu Qingsang looked at Nian Nian in her arms and listened to her mumbling, knowing that she was going to look for her brother, she said, âSince you donât have time, letâs do it another time. Iâll take her to look for her brother first.â
Su Peizhen nodded her head lightly as a response and watched Su Qingsang leave in front of her. She stood there in a daze.
She couldnât describe what she felt. It wasnât jealousy or sadness, but confusion and confusion.
In the end, she still couldnât ignore it. In the end, she would still have some dark thoughts, thinking that she had stolen everything from her.
She clenched her fists tightly and drove these paranoid and dark thoughts out of her mind. She knew that she couldnât let herself go on like this.
Youâve already paid the price once, you canât do it again.
Su Peizhen told herself to turn around and continue heading to the boutique department. However, Su Qingsangâs daughterâs pinkish face suddenly flashed through her mind.
She had to admit that her genes were really powerful. That pinkish ball was indeed soft and cute.
She wondered what that child would look like if she had a child in the future. would it look like her or..
Su Peizhen, who realized what she was thinking, quickly shook off this thought.
She was really crazy. Ling Jing was now a child himself. How could she dare to believe that he could bear the responsibility of being a father?
But there was a voice in her heart telling her that sometimes, one should not judge a book by its cover.
Thinking of Ling Jingâs act of playing the clown to please her, Su Peizhen suddenly felt that if Ling Jing really became a father, perhaps he would be a good father.
But it was really too early to think about this now.
..
Su Peizhen sat in the car and waited for Ling Jing to come out of the bakery across the street.
It was the end of spring, and Rongcheng was still slightly cold. She had asked Ling Jing before, and Ling Jing said that he worked in this bakery.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, she still didnât see Ling Jing come out.
She had sent a message to Ling Jing half an hour ago. She was afraid that he was working, so she especially asked if he had time. At that time, Ling Jing said that he had time.
Su Peizhen looked at the time again, but Ling Jing hadnât come out yet.
This bakery was very close to Rongyuan. She looked at the time, and another fifteen minutes had passed. It had been almost an hour since she called Ling Jing to see her.
She thought for a moment and opened the car door. Just as she was about to get out of the car, she saw Ling Jing running all the way here.
He ran extremely fast, and his open black casual jacket flew to both sides because of his movements. When he saw her, he seemed to have a bright smile on his face, but he was running very fast.
âWait for a long time?âHe panted as he got into Su Peizhenâs car.
Su Peizhen looked at him and frowned slightly. She took out a bottle of water from the side and handed it to him.
âWhy are you running like this? People who donât know would think that you went to participate in the 100-meter race.â
Wasnât That So? He was originally in the company dealing with business. Who knew that Su Peizhen would call to pick him up from work.
His company was about an hourâs drive away from Rongyuan. He hurried and did not encounter any traffic jam.
âNo, itâs just a little hot to stay in the kitchen.âHe pretended to slap his face. Su Peizhen looked at him and felt a little distressed and helpless.
She directly took a tissue to wipe the sweat on his face.
âIf you are not free, I can wait for a while. You can tell me.â
Her action was rare gentleness. In her heart, because Ling Jing was younger than her, she would always be more tolerant of him.
Besides being moved, there was also tolerance. And because of her experience, she wouldnât care about these small things. She really didnât care.
âI, Iâm not afraid that you will wait for me for too long?âLing Jing held her hand and used a tissue to wipe her sweat. Finally, he held her hand. âIf I let you wait for too long, My Heart Will Ache.â
Su Peizhen glanced at him. After wiping his sweat dry, she handed him a box.
âThis is a gift for you.â
âSo Good?âLing Jing looked at the box. âWhy is there a gift? What Day is it?â
âTo celebrate your first day at work.â
Ling Jing held the box and looked at Su Peizhen, who had a gentle expression. He suddenly leaned over and kissed her lips.
After all, it was just by the roadside. Su Peizhen pushed his body.
After he kissed her enough, he let go of her and pressed his forehead against hers. âI prefer to celebrate in another way.â
This guy was really..
Su Peizhen didnât want to talk anymore.
âCome on, letâs Go Eat. How about I treat you to Japanese food? I know a restaurant that serves good eel rice.â
âOkay.âLing Jing watched her start the car. He sat back in his seat, pinched the box in his hand, and took out his phone.
âWhat are you doing?â
âTaking pictures.âLing Jing smiled at her. âTo celebrate the first gift you gave me.â
Su Peizhen couldnât help but smile. In fact, Ling Jing was really good. He was happy, and unhappy was unhappy.
His emotions were very obvious, like a child.
The moment she smiled, Ling Jing looked at her side profile, which was focused on driving. He took a picture of her and the box.
However, he didnât send it to his moments. Instead, he sent a message to Gu Xiu the moment he put down his phone.
His car was parked at the back door of the bakery. He asked Gu Xiu to drive his car back to Rong Garden.
This wasnât a long-term plan. He thought of a way to make Su Peizhen not come to look for him next time.
He suddenly turned around to look at Su Peizhen. In fact, she had already taken the bait. He had achieved his goal and could leave now.
However â
He didnât know why, but there was a hint of hesitation in his heart.
He told himself that it was because Su Peizhen hadnât fallen in love with him yet. She hadnât completely, completely fallen in love with him.
He wanted to wait until she had completely fallen in love with him before he removed that layer of paper. At that time, it would be his complete victory.
At that time, what would her reaction be?
Ling Jing propped up his chin with one hand and looked at the side of Su Peizhenâs face that was driving seriously. For some reason, he suddenly didnât dare to think further.
