Su Peizhen thought that Ling Jing wanted to bring her to his room, but it wasnât the case
The hotel they were staying in now had a very large courtyard at the back.
The courtyard was well decorated. When they went down to the first floor, a staff on duty came over to ask if they needed help. After Ling Jing refused, he brought Su Peizhen directly to the back door of the hotel.
Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Su Peizhen didnât know what Ling Jing wanted to do. But no matter what he wanted to do, she refused to go out.
She tightened her coat. It was very cold here at night. But she was not cold very soon. Ling Jing hugged her.
He was originally very tall. She was in his arms and tightly encircled. She couldnât break free and could only let him hug her.
The cold air from the cold wind outside was blocked by him. However, Su Peizhen did not appreciate his kindness.
There was a rattan chair beside the courtyard where guests could rest. Before SU Peizhen could struggle, Ling Jing had already brought Su Peizhen to sit on the rattan chair.
Su Peizhen almost remembered the moment she touched the chair, but she was pressed down by Ling Jing.
âStay with me for twenty minutes. Just twenty minutes will do.â
/
âI refuse.â
âYou can choose to sit here voluntarily, or you can choose me to force you to sit here.âLing Jing held her waist and acted shamelessly. âBut the results are all the same.â
âLing Jing, I really didnât know that you could still be so Shameless.â
âI will take this as a compliment.âNo matter what she said, Ling Jing wouldnât let go.
Su Peizhen glanced at him and took a deep breath. âOkay. I Wonât leave. Twenty minutes, right? Iâll wait.â
Ling Jingâs hand was still on her waist. She almost could not hold back the expression on her face. âLing Jing, Iâve already promised you not to leave. What else do you want?â
âI know.âAs Ling Jing spoke, he took the opportunity to hug her, pressing his chin against her neck.
âBut I havenât hugged you for a long time.â
Su Peizhenâs body was stiff and unmoved. âLing Jing, let go.â
âJust hug for a while. Itâll be fine in a while.âLing Jing wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly. âItâs so cold. Donât you think itâs warmer when two people hug each other?â
âItâs also very warm when I sleep in the hotel room.â
âBut I think your body is warmer.â
Su Peizhen resisted the urge to burst out. Just as she was about to push Ling Jing away, he suddenly said in her ear.
âThere are five minutes left.â
âWhat?â
âNew Year.âLing Jing stepped back and pulled her into his arms. âThere are five minutes left until the New Year.â
â...âSu Peizhen was stunned. She didnât expect Ling Jing to find her for this purpose.
However, âSo? You Didnât let me sleep because the new year was coming?â
âYes.âLing Jing nodded. âLast year, you abandoned me and ran away. This year, Iâll make up for it.â
Su Peizhen didnât say anything. Last year, the New Year. At that time, she had just brought him back to Rong Garden. She thought he was a small hooligan, so she naturally didnât pay much attention to him.
If she had known, she wouldnât have brought him back in the first place.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Ling Jing pressed his chin against the top of her hair and gently stroked it.
âSu Peizhen, Iâm very happy. At this time last year, you were the one who picked me up.â
âIs that so? But I regret that I didnât let you die by yourself in that Alley.â
She said it quite bluntly, and Ling Jing wasnât angry.
âI heard that kissing during the new year, two people can be together for a lifetime.â
Ling Jingâs words made Su Peizhen widen her eyes. It was too late for her to escape. Someone was counting down in the distance.
When the last zero was counted down, Ling Jing kissed her lips.
At the same time, countless fireworks bloomed in the sky.
Su Peizhen was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Ling Jing deepened the kiss.
It was extremely gentle and also extremely lingering. He never let Su Peizhen leave his embrace, nor did he ever let go.
In the midst of the fireworks, Ling Jing ended the kiss. He raised his head to look at the sky and then at Su Peizhen.
âHappy New Year.â
Su Peizhen did not reply to him. She looked at the gorgeous sky and could not tell what she felt in her heart.
She did not speak, and Ling Jing did not speak either. He just hugged her and admired her quietly.
âMaybe itâs a little cliché. But, itâs the New Year, and I didnât think of anything better. Maybe you can tell me what you like, and Iâll prepare it.â
Su Peizhen didnât say anything. How would she know what she liked?
She was already in a state where she didnât want anything. She didnât care about anything, and she didnât care about anything.
In fact, she had discovered a long time ago that she could no longer find her former passion and return to the time when she was ambitious.
âPeizhen?â
Su Peizhen didnât look at him. She watched as another firework exploded in the air, bringing with it a brilliant scene. Her voice was very cold.
âAnyway, what I like wonât be like you.â
There was a flash of sadness in Ling Jingâs eyes. Su Peizhen naturally didnât see it. But she could feel the low pressure coming from her side.
âTwenty minutes are up. Iâm going back.â
Her wrist tightened, and her footsteps stopped there. Ling Jing pulled her body and looked at her with a somewhat eager gaze.
âIs your heart so hard?â
The light of the fireworks shone on her body, casting a long shadow in front of her.
Su Peizhen did not turn her head. She pulled her hand out bit by bit, her voice extremely cold.
âYes. My heart is so hard. Whatever you do is useless, and you donât have to do anything else. Ling Jing. Iâll say it again. No matter what you do, no matter what you do, I wonât forgive you. I just wonât. I Wonât be with you, I just wonât. âDonât do all this useless work.â
Tightening her coat, Su Peizhen left without looking back.
The fireworks were still going on, but Ling Jing was no longer in the mood to appreciate them. He slumped down on the rattan chair, looking very dejected.
..
After New Yearâs Day, Ling Jing didnât appear again. Su Peizhen thought her words were effective.
Facing Xiang Caipingâs inquiry, she only said that Ling Jing had something urgent to deal with back home and left first. Xiang caiping was disappointed for a long time.
She looked at Su Peizhen from time to time. In fact, her thoughts were too shallow and it was obvious.
During this period of time, Ling Jing was too attentive. How could xiang caiping not see it? Knowing that he was interested in his daughter, she wanted to get to know him more and observe him. Maybe they could become a beautiful couple.
Even though she knew that Su Peizhen didnât really care about her, she thought that it was always good to have another chance.
Now, seeing her daughterâs cold attitude. And Ling Jing had left again. Those words were hard to say, so she could only swallow them back down.
But in the following journey, she looked at Su Peizhen several times, wanting to say something but stopping. Su Peizhen completely pretended not to see it.
Until the two of them returned to Rongcheng. After they came back, because it was almost new yearâs. Xiang caiping was busy with something again and had to prepare new yearâs goods.
After a while, she finally stopped mentioning Ling Jing.
She would occasionally sigh with the nanny at home. The two of them were not fated.
Su Peizhen occasionally listened and pretended not to hear. This yearâs new year was earlier than previous years.
The spring festival was at the end of January. Su Peizhen was very busy at the end of the year. She was busy last year, but this year, because she had taken over Su Chenghuiâs company, she was even busier.
Not to mention that previously, Tang Mohan had said that there was a project in Australia that they could work on together. She was extremely busy.
Xiang caiping said that she had lost weight, but she didnât feel it.
They met Lin feixing a few times, and the two of them discussed some business matters, but they didnât go any further.
Occasionally, her car broke down. After going to Tang Mohanâs company to discuss a business deal, he casually asked her a question. Then, out of courtesy, he sent her home.
This send-off caused many misunderstandings between Xiang caiping. Huo Jinyaoâs childhood friend was naturally not that bad.
Tang Mohan looked like a successful person at a glance. He asked Xiang caiping once, and when he heard that it was just a business relationship, the happiness on his face decreased again.
But then he started to mention Ling Jing again. He said that he had promised to go back to Rong City to look for her, but he had never come.
Su Peizhen pretended not to hear it. But she didnât know what to think in her heart. She rejected Ling Jing and didnât let him appear again, but he didnât appear again as expected.
So, his persistence was only so-so.
After thinking it through, there was nothing to care about.
Life was like this. She should have seen through it long ago. It was true that the one who was missing would not be able to live?
Su Peizhen told herself to put this matter aside and not take it to heart. Whatever Ling Jing did in the future was none of her business.
After the annual meeting, it was time for the New Year. This year, she still had to spend the new year with Xiang caiping. However, the day before New Yearâs Eve, she went to see Su Chenghui.
Because Su Qingsang and Su Peizhen were both here, Su Chenghui set up a business here.
Su Yuxin was also on winter vacation, and Old Master Li was also here. Su Chenghui knew that Su Peizhen was going to accompany Xiang caiping on New Yearâs Eve, so he had a reunion dinner one day in advance.
In addition to old master Li, Li Qianxue, Su Chenghui, Su Yuxin, and Su Qingsangâs family of four.
The two children were two years old. It was the time for them to be cute, and they looked very cute.
Su Peizhen had already prepared a big red packet for each of the two children. She didnât care about the money, it was just a thought.
In the end, old master Li and Li Qianxue gave her a red packet instead.
âTheyâre not married, theyâre still children,âLi Qianxue said.
Looking at the red packets in her hands, Su Peizhenâs eyes were a little hot. Actually, this was very good.
She had two sides of her family and two sides of her care and love. She had family, career, and love. It was really not important.
..
New Yearâs Eve.
This was a day for family reunion. But for Ling Jing, it didnât matter whether it was a reunion or not.
Every New Yearâs Eve was the same. Every year, it was those people and those things. The messy things were tossed and turned repeatedly. He wanted nothing more than to toss and turn from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
He sat in the luxuriously decorated living room of the Ling family. He felt disgusted when he saw the eldest, second, third, and fourth all around the old man, trying their best to flatter him.
It wasnât just that he felt disgusted. He also felt bored. It was the same show every year. He was tired of it.
âLing Jing?âLiu Xiyun was the one who noticed that something was wrong with her son. Her son had been acting very strange recently.
