She turned on the tap and washed her face with cold water. Su Peizhen couldnât even care about the makeup that would stain her face.
She needed to think of a way to drive Ling Jing away from her sight.
Su Peizhen hadnât thought of a way yet. When she returned to the Peace Room, she realized that Ling Jing had said something to Xiang caiping. Xiang caiping was laughing her head off.
She had known Xiang caiping for a few years, and it had been almost two years since she had been released from prison. It was the first time she had seen Xiang caiping smile so happily.
âAh Jing, about this matter, Iâll go and take a look next time when I return to Rong City.â
âOkay.âLing Jing smiled brightly, but from the corner of his eyes, he looked at Su Peizhen who had just come in.
Su Peizhen gritted her teeth, inexplicably feeling some pain in her gums.
âPeizhen, youâre back? Come here.â
Su Peizhen walked to the table and sat down. This shop was in the traditional Japanese style. The center of the Tatami was sunken. There was a table in the middle.
She had just sat down when she heard Xiang caipingâs very happy voice.
âI just realized that our house and Ling Jingâs house are only separated by a road.â
âReally?âIt was not like Su Peizhen had never been to Ling Jingâs villa. His house was two directions away from their previous villa.
âYes. Donât you think itâs a coincidence?â
âIndeed.âSu Peizhen was expressionless, but the way she looked at Ling Jing was somewhat ambiguous. âItâs really a coincidence.â
âThatâs what I said too.â
Xiang caipingâs face was full of the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land. She looked at Su Peizhen as if she really wanted her approval.
âAuntie, why donât we meet again when we go back?â
â...âSu Peizhen looked at Ling Jing coldly. She was still calling her big sister just now. Why did she call her Auntie Now?
She didnât know how Ling Jing had tricked Xiang caiping, but Xiang caiping didnât feel anything wrong at all.
âGood. Ah Jing, youâre really good. Few young people are so patient these days.â
âNo, isnât that what I should do?â
What should I do? Su Peizhen sat there and looked at the two of them talking happily. Her face became gloomier and gloomier.
If Ling Jing really thought she would compromise because of this, it could only mean that he didnât know himself very well.
She would not compromise. Ling Jing could forget about getting what he wanted.
..
In the following time, Ling Jing was very solicitous. And his solicitude was just right.
It would not make Xiang caiping think that he was overly flattering, and it would not make Xiang caiping think that he didnât understand etiquette.
He would go to the scenic spots in the afternoon. Ling Jing walked directly to Xiang caipingâs side.
âAuntie, are you thirsty? Have a drink. This drink is not sweet. Itâs very delicious.â
âAuntie, the scenery here is not bad. Let me take a photo for you.â
âAuntie, Look, you can go with your daughter.â
Even if Su Peizhen was unwilling, under Xiang caipingâs gaze, she could only stand with her and take photos with her.
She didnât smile much, but it didnât affect Ling Jingâs performance.
In the evening, the three of them naturally ate together again. Without waiting for Su Peizhen to go and get the money, Ling Jing had already gone to pay the bill.
âHow can I do this?â
âItâs okay, Aunty. I originally wanted to eat alone. Now that you guys are here, I can eat better. I should thank you guys.â
âIâm really sorry. When we return to Rong City, Iâll treat you to a meal.â
Xiang caipingâs words made Ling Jingâs eyes light up. âReally? Then I wonât stand on ceremony. How about I treat you here, Aunty? You can treat me when we get home.â
âThatâs fine.âXiang caiping thought for a moment and said enthusiastically, âMy cooking skills are average, but I can cook some snacks. When we get back to Rongcheng, you can come to Auntyâs house for a meal.â
âOkay. Thank you, Auntie. Youâre So Nice. I believe that Auntie is humble. Your culinary skills must be very good.âLing Jing started to flatter her without hesitation. âI can tell from looking at Auntie that youâre someone who knows how to live.â
âYou really know how to talk.â
Sure enough, Xiang caiping was delighted by Ling Jingâs coaxing.
When Su Peizhen and Ling Jing were about to return to the hotel, Xiang caiping was âSurprisedâto find that Ling Jing was in the same hotel as them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAH. This is really fate.âShe turned to look at Su Peizhen, not realizing that this coincidence was not fate at all, but man-made.
âPeizhen, look, Ah Jing is actually in the same hotel as us.â
âHa. Yes, what a coincidence.âSu Peizhenâs two words, âwhat a coincidenceâ, seemed to come out from between her teeth.
âYes, what a coincidence.âLing Jing said calmly, âI read that this hotel is not bad. I didnât expect it. It is really not bad.â
âIt is not bad. The environment here is still very good, and it is very clean. The traffic is also convenient, and it is close to where we are going.â
Xiang caiping had been listening to Japanese for the past few days and was dizzy. She did not understand a word. She was overjoyed to meet someone who could speak Chinese.
Su Peizhen stood by the wall of the elevator and didnât intend to say anything.
Anyway, when she returned to her room, she planned to book a plane ticket back to the country tomorrow morning. Or she could go somewhere else.
Just as she had this thought, Ling Jing looked at Xiang caiping and said, âAuntie, did you go to Qingshui Temple Yesterday? Did you go to Tianlong Temple?â
âWe all went? I canât remember the names. Peizhen took me there.â
âThen, Auntie, where are you going tomorrow?â
âTomorrow? I donât know.âXiang caiping turned to look at Su Peizhen. âPeizhen, where are we going tomorrow?â
Weâre going back to China tomorrow.
She met Xiang caipingâs shining eyes, but she couldnât say those four words. She pursed her lips. âWeâll talk about tomorrow.â
âDidnât you say that weâre going tomorrow ââ
âNara.âSu Peizhen pursed her lips into a straight line. âI said that weâll go to Nara to soak in the hot spring tomorrow.â
âYes, weâll go to Nara to soak in the hot spring tomorrow.â
Xiang caiping repeated it, and Ling Jingâs eyes were filled with joy. âNara? Nara is good. I read the guide before and said that the scenery there is also very good. I donât have a fixed destination, so why donât We Go Together?â
âOkay.âXiang caiping didnât object at all. âThatâs great. Tomorrow, we will arrive at the agreed time. Letâs go together.â
âSince thatâs the case, then I wonât stand on ceremony and become your partner.â
As Ling Jing spoke, he glanced at Su Peizhen. She stood there expressionlessly, as if she didnât see his gaze.
When they returned to the room, Ling Jingâs room was right across from theirs. Xiang caiping once again said that this was fate. Su Peizhen opened the door and signaled for caiping to go in first.
âMom, you go in and rest first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Ling.â
Facing Xiang caipingâs confused gaze, she tugged the corners of her mouth and forced a smile. âArenât we going to play together tomorrow? Of course we have to discuss the route. Donât you think so?â
âYes, we need to discuss it. Then you go ahead. Iâll take a shower first.â
âOkay.â
Su Peizhen watched Xiang caiping enter the room. She then turned to look at Ling Jing. He was also looking at her.
He directly opened the room door and took a step back, gesturing for her to come in.
Su Peizhen looked at him coldly and closed her eyes. She didnât want to cause a ruckus in the corridor, so she chose to enter Ling Jingâs room.
As soon as she entered, Ling Jing closed the door. Her body was pressed against the door by him.
She didnât move. His gaze was fervent. He stared at her for a long time before lowering his head to kiss her.
Su Peizhen didnât even struggle. She just stared at him. Ling Jingâs lips stopped less than a centimeter away from Su Peizhenâs lips.
His breath was hot as he stared at her face.
He didnât say anything, and neither did Su Peizhen. Their eyes met, but the air was still.
Ling Jing was unwilling to let go. He wanted to let go, but he couldnât. Su Peizhenâs attitude was obviously impervious.
He steeled his heart, tilted his head, and kissed her lips.
He was almost biting, hard, brutal, rude, and impatient.
Su Peizhenâs lips hurt, but she didnât even move. She just looked at him fixedly.
Ling Jing became more and more unwilling. He just bit her lips gently and didnât let go.
The four lips were locked together. Su Peizhen couldnât even push him away. He was angry and used more strength.
Just a kiss wasnât enough for him. He raised his hand and put it on her waist. It was very cold in the capital. She was wearing a thick woolen coat.
Ling Jingâs hand reached into the coat and moved up the hem of her clothes.
At this moment, Su Peizhen put her hand back and grabbed his hand.
His movement stopped. His forehead was still against hers. He looked at her steadily.
Su Peizhen allowed his breath to brush over her face. Her eyes and brows did not move. âIs it interesting?â
Ling Jingâs hands started to exert force. This woman, he really wanted to rub him into her body. At least this way, they could be together forever.
âIs it interesting? Ling Jing?â
âYes.âLing Jingâs evil nature came. He raised his eyebrows and caressed her cheek with one hand. âItâs very interesting. How can it not be interesting?â
âIâm going out to play with the woman I like and my future mother-in-law. It makes me happy just thinking about it.â
âWho are you calling mother-in-law?â
âWhat do you think?âLing Jing caressed her face. Her skin was so good that he had the urge to bite it.
âLing jing, thereâs no meaning in what youâre doing.â
âThereâs no meaning. Canât you just make it meaningful?â
âImpossible.âSu Peizhen was expressionless. âLing Jing, itâs impossible for me to be with you.â
âWhy is it impossible?âLing Jing was very unconvinced. âDidnât you say it? Did you forgive me?â
âI forgive you, but that doesnât mean I want to be with you.âSu Peizhen waved his hand away. âThese are two different things.â
âBut in my opinion, these are two different things.â
âLing Jing, thereâs no point in you messing around with these things. I said I wonât be with you, so I wonât be with you. Even if you try to curry favor with my mother, itâs useless.â
Ling Jing tilted his head and looked at Su Peizhen. âWhy do you have to use the word âcurry favorâ? In my opinion, itâs not curry favor, but I think your mother is a good person.â
Since they didnât get along, Su Peizhen didnât plan to continue the conversation with Ling Jing.
