Chapter 1094: Chapter 1094: Don’t Force Yourself to Please Men
"Will I be happy too?" Ziyi asked curiously.
Pei Yuanchen paused before saying, "Not necessarily, but if you truly like this man, you will be happy."
"But I like you!" Ziyi got anxious. "So, I will be happy. Let’s try again!"
Pei Yuanchen looked into her eyes.
After a long time, he spoke hoarsely, "Did you forget what I just said? Don’t force yourself to please a man."
"I’m not forcing myself..." Ziyi tried to explain.
Pei Yuanchen tapped her on the forehead.
Ziyi let out a little grunt, somewhat dissatisfied and a little regretful.
She shouldn’t have cried just now... thinking about it now, it really wasn’t that scary.
She just felt a bit unaccustomed for a moment.
If she tried again, she certainly wouldn’t be like she was just now.
Ziyi thought defiantly.
Pei Yuanchen couldn’t help but rub her cheek.
"Just remember what I said." Pei Yuanchen spoke, his voice even more hoarse, "Your father is right, there are many men willing to marry you."
She could choose a partner much better than him in every way.
Before Ziyi could speak, Pei Yuanchen suddenly picked her up and placed her on the ground.
He took her hand, "Isn’t Ayuan still waiting downstairs? Let me take you down. You should go home... oh, right."
Pei Yuanchen remembered something and lifted her face to take a careful look.
The swelling had indeed gone down.
Relieved, he also frowned and tapped her forehead again, "You mustn’t eat seafood again next time."
Ziyi covered her forehead, staring at him blankly.
Though Uncle Xiaobao was still being as fierce as ever, this time she didn’t feel sad or upset.
Because she could feel that Uncle Xiaobao genuinely cared about her.
Her heart warmed, and she hugged his arm with a grin, "Uncle Xiaobao, I’ve already asked Ayuan to go home. Let me stay here for the night."
Pei Yuanchen gave a light snort, unfazed.
He picked her up and walked straight out.
Seeing his firm determination not to let her stay, Ziyi felt a little disheartened.
After a while, she wrapped her arms around his neck and softly spoke, "Then... will you come with me to school tomorrow?"
"No." Pei Yuanchen refused without hesitation.
"What about the day after tomorrow?" Ziyi asked persistently.
"Still no." Pei Yuanchen pressed her head to his chest, "I’m no longer your bodyguard."
Upon hearing this, Ziyi didn’t make a fuss.
"It’s okay, I don’t want you to be my bodyguard. I want you to be my boyfriend. I can still see you, right?"
As they spoke, they walked out of the hotel.
Fall had already set in, and the wind was a bit strong.
The woman’s soft voice quickly disappeared in the wind, so when it reached Pei Yuanchen’s ears mixed with the wind, he felt a bit dazed.
At this moment, he suddenly understood that at least right now, this woman was sincere.
She really liked him and wanted to be with him.
Pei Yuanchen’s throat suddenly tightened.
That faint, creeping ache returned.
Originally, he thought his intentions were firm, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but waver a little.
"Yeah." He heard his own slightly hoarse voice, "I will stay in Yanzhou City for a while."
"Only for a while?" Her voice betrayed a little disappointment that she couldn’t hide.
