Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237: You Even Know How to Sweet-Talk Now
Ziyi was both heartbroken and aggrieved, tears fell one by one, and finally she stopped struggling futilely.
As he felt her soften, his kisses became gentle.
He carefully traced the shape of her lips, drawing in her breath deeply, until she completely collapsed into his arms.
Ziyi couldn’t stop sobbing, "Uncle Xiaobao, I hate you... no, I despise you!"
Pei Yuanchen chuckled hoarsely, leaned his forehead against hers, and whispered, "But I like you... no, I love you."
Ziyi trembled slightly, crying even harder.
"He Ziyi, listen to me." He gently caressed her chin, "Just remember, Pei Yuanchen always belongs to you alone, to you, I’m only Uncle Xiaobao."
Ziyi clutched his collar, still sobbing uncontrollably.
What he said practically admitted that Ludwig was also him.
The person she met during the day was him.
The woman on his arm was indeed his wife, Ludwig’s wife.
But how can one person have two identities?
Because he has two identities, can he rightfully have two women?
"But you live with another woman, that’s you." Ziyi felt a pang of discomfort as she spoke, and her tears fell even harder, "I don’t want you anymore."
Pei Yuanchen exhaled slowly.
"I am not living with another woman." He explained hoarsely, "You know how hard it was for me to come out, just to see you."
Ziyi sniffled and looked up at him, "Really? Did you not do anything with another woman?"
"Of course not." He raised his hand to wipe away her tears, feeling both heartache and guilt, "I only like you, how could I be with another woman."
Ziyi hesitated for a moment, finally unwillingly said, "But you let her hold your arm, and you were so close... you pretended not to know me."
"Because Ludwig doesn’t know you, so I have to not know you." He sighed softly, "But in my heart, I wish I could kiss you a thousand, ten thousand times."
Ziyi’s cheeks flushed slightly.
After a long time, she buried her face in his chest again, "Uncle Xiaobao, you’ve become bad. You even know how to sweet talk..."
He would never say such things to her before.
"Because that’s how I truly feel." He chuckled lowly, pinching her ear, "He Ziyi, I think about you all the time."
Especially when he is Ludwig, the selfishness and hypocrisy make him feel nauseous, yet he has to keep up the pretenses, and he misses her bright smile so much.
Ziyi’s face was swollen from crying, with tears still in the corners of her eyes.
She barely stopped sobbing and said quietly, "Then... when will you stop being Ludwig, I’ve been waiting for you for so long."
Pei Yuanchen paused before saying, "Soon."
"Hmph..." Ziyi poked his chest with some dissatisfaction, "How soon is soon? If I can’t wait anymore, I won’t want you!"
"He Ziyi, you can’t not want me." He grabbed her restless hand, his breathing a bit erratic, "You’ve already proposed to me, how can you go back on your word?"
Ziyi puffed her cheeks, "But you also promised not to get close to another woman."
Pei Yuanchen chuckled helplessly.
