Chapter 1191: Chapter 1191
"I’m just not afraid." She said defiantly.
Pei Yuanchen kissed her cheek, his voice carrying a bit of a husky laugh: "I’ll try to live a little longer, to be with you a little longer."
He Ziyi’s eyes grew hot, and her nose followed suit, tingling.
But she tried to restrain her tears and nodded vigorously: "Okay, you promised me."
"Mm." He curled his lips, "Hurry and brush your teeth."
Only then did Ziyi put the toothbrush head into her mouth.
Pei Yuanchen smiled, let go of her, leaned against the wall, observing her with focused eyes.
Ziyi brushed her teeth, then washed her face. She shook off the water droplets from her hands and made a funny face at him in the mirror, "Uncle Xiaobao, do I look good?"
Pei Yuanchen looked at her seriously, then tugged his mouth indifferently: "It’s alright."
Ziyi was very dissatisfied, turned around, and hugged his arm: "I’m obviously very good-looking! You’re not being honest!"
After the woman washed her face, her cheeks were even more transparent white.
His eyes gradually deepened, and he couldn’t help but cup her face with both hands.
Actually, even at this moment, he couldn’t quite believe that this woman was already his.
Everything that happened a few hours ago, he still vaguely thought it was just a dream.
Yet it was so real, so real that whenever he thought about it, he couldn’t help but feel his whole body heat up.
His fingers slid down from her cheek.
Ziyi suddenly blushed and said in a small voice: "Uncle Xiaobao, your eyes have turned blue again..."
She knew what that meant, but the soreness in her body made her involuntarily shrink back.
"Scared?" he said hoarsely.
She nodded forcefully, pitifully asking: "Can we not do it again in the future..."
"You tricked me into bed, and now that you’ve got what you wanted, you want to kick me away? Dream on." Pei Yuanchen squinted his eyes, his voice husky, "I told you a long time ago, if we were together, I’d treat you like that every day."
Ziyi shrank her neck, looking somewhat terrified.
Seeing this, Pei Yuanchen was both amused and angry.
He pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Who were those people who kidnapped you last night, really?"
Ziyi widened her eyes: "I don’t know..."
Pei Yuanchen could tell what was going on the moment he saw her like this.
He was extremely angry, gripping her chin: "He Ziyi, was this your idea?"
She quickly shook her head hard: "No, definitely not!"
"Tell me the truth." He tightened her wrist behind her back, his expression unusually dark, "Why did those people specifically target you?"
Ziyi’s eyes wandered everywhere, refusing to meet his.
"He Ziyi, if you don’t talk, we’ll go back to the room and continue until you tell the truth!" he threatened coldly.
Ziyi immediately surrendered, saying pitifully: "It was... it was me who hinted and incited them..."
Pei Yuanchen gripped her wrist tightly; he knew it wasn’t such a coincidence.
"Did you never think, what if I hadn’t discovered it in time? What if I lost track of them?" Pei Yuanchen gritted his teeth, "He Ziyi, you’re literally courting death!"
Thinking back to the anger and fear of that moment, his anger surged again.
"Well... even if you hadn’t come to save me, Ayuan would have..." Ziyi confessed truthfully, seeing how upset he looked.
"So, being thrown out with nothing was fake too?" His tone was somewhat cold.
