Wei Yu agreed in a choked voice. âOkay.â He stopped crying. But his black eyelashes seemed to have been wet by the rain, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Pei Jiao looked at Wei Yu and an indescribable feeling rose in her heart. She hesitated and asked him, âHow many times have you cried recently?â
Wei Yu pursed his lips and remained silent, as if it was difficult for him to speak. Pei Jiao knew him well. Seeing his expression, she understood. âIt seems that youâve been crying a lot recently.â
If he hadnât been so miserable, she would have put her hands on her hips and laughed at him.
Although she held back her laughter, she could not help but mock, âYouâre Dr. Wei who returned from overseas. Youâre the high and mighty young master of the Wei family. Youâre indeed quite spineless to play with yourself for someone youâve only known for more than a month.â
After saying that, Pei Jiao realized that her words were too sarcastic.
She cleared her throat and added, âWhat I mean is that no matter what, you shouldnât risk your life. After a beating tonight, you wonât recover for ten days to half a month.â
Wei Yuâs eyes flickered. âAre you⦠worried about me?â
Pei Jiao subconsciously replied, âNo, Iâm mainly afraid that youâll die in Tan
Hua Manor. Itâs more troublesome for my brother to deal with it.â
â¦You heartless woman!â Wei Yuâs throat felt a little better and he immediately choked on Pei Jiaoâs words.
Pei Jiao smiled. âWhat a heartless woman. Youâre right! Itâs not the first time youâve known me. Iâve always been so heartless.â
âIf you were really heartless, you wouldnât be here now.â Wei Yu knew her well.
Pei Jiao asked, âThen Iâll leave?â
âNo!â Wei Yu panicked and grabbed Pei Jiaoâs shirt like a child. âYou canât leave.â
Pei Jiao raised her hand to look at her watch and realized that she was not wearing it when she went out. She had no choice but to take out her phone and check the time. Then, she handed the phone screen to Wei Yu and pointed at the time. âTen-thirty. Itâs already very late. I still have to get engaged tomorrow. Itâs enough that I can send you to the hospital so late and waste so much time with you.â
Wei Yuâs tone was cold. âDo you have to get engaged to that Qin guy tomorrow?â
Pei Jiao pried open his fingers one by one. âOf course. The invitation was sent out three days ago and published in the newspapers. Didnât your Wei family also receive the invitation? How can it be fake?â
With that, she pried Wei Yuâs fingers away and took a few steps back. Wei Yu stared at her without blinking. âYou donât love him. Why are you engaged to him?â
Pei Jiao looked indifferent. âSo what if I donât love him? Iâm old enough to get married. There are no restrictions on me.â
âWhat about me?â Wei Yu asked her urgently for an answer. âDidnât you like me at all? Even a little?â
Pei Jiao said, âNo.â
The word was short and decisive. It showed how eager she was to draw the line between them. Wei Yu felt as if his heart was riddled with holes. It hurt.
âPei Jiao, you made me like you first. Now that I like you, you abandoned meâ¦â
Pei Jiao frowned and pretended to be indifferent. âHow much cultivation do I have? Itâs all because youâre not clear-minded enough to resist temptation.â
Wei Yu choked on a laugh. âNot everyone can treat me like this. Iâve always remembered that incident when I was young. From the beginning, when you were close to me, 1 didnât resist because I subconsciously accepted you.â
Pei Jiao was at a loss. âWhat is it?â
Wei Yu enunciated each word clearly. âAbout you kissing me.â
Pei Jiao:
Wei Yuâs ears quickly turned red. He turned his face away and said in a strange tone, âWhen I was young, my health was not good. Everyone gave in to me and followed my wishes. No one had ever forced my will. That was the first time! The first time someone forced a kiss on me without my consent and even pressed me to the ground. My first kiss was taken away by you then, andâ¦
The accusation was blunt and aggrieved. Pei Jiao couldnât stand it anymore and stopped him with a flushed face. âEnough, enough. Stop talking. Iâve already forgotten about this. Donât mention it again.â
Although it was what she had done when she was young, Pei Jiao never wanted to admit that she had bullied Wei Yu so bravely when she was young. After that, she even complained that Wei Yu would not let her kiss him.
Everyone was laughing. Only Wei Yuâs eyes were red with grievance, pitiful and helpless.
Seeing that Pei Jiao did not want to admit it and even wanted to quickly clear her name, Wei Yu gritted his teeth in anger. âl indulged you in getting close to me from the beginning, but I never understood why you were the only one different. Only when I knew that you were Pei Jiao did I understand the reason. You used force on me when I was young, coaxed and lied to me when I grew up.. If I donât fall for you, who will?!â
