Chapter 841: Chapter 027: I’m Not Such a beast
Don’t. Don’t What?
Ling Jing moved closer. Su Peizhen was in a daze due to her illness. Her voice was also very soft. It was hard to hear clearly.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at her face. He moved closer to her lips.
Because of her fever, her breath was hot. He was waiting for her to speak, but he didn’t see her.
When he got up and wanted to leave, Su Peizhen started to talk in her sleep again.
“No –”
“Dad. No –”
“Mom.”
“Why? Why?”
..
The last few sentences were finally heard more clearly, but Ling Jing was stunned. He stared at Su Peizhen’s face, thinking about the information he had found.
“Mom, why?”
He stood up straight and stared at Su Peizhen’s face.
Su Peizhen had been in prison for a period of time, and almost every night, she would dream about the past.
When she was still the eldest daughter of the Su family, she was still Li Qianxue’s daughter. She still remembered how she was held in Li Qianxue’s arms and listened to her fairy tales.
She also remembered how she was carefully nurtured by Li Qianxue, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, to the business economy.
She also remembered how Li Qianxue had considered for her, and had arranged a marriage like Chou Yanbo for her. She felt that it was the best marriage.
She also remembered how Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui had stayed close to her bed when she was sick, afraid that she would feel a little uncomfortable.
Those memories were too deep, so deep that unless Su Peizhen lost her memory, she would never be able to throw away the first twenty years of her life.
But later, she was in prison, serving her sentence day after day. Day after day of waiting, except for Xiang caiping, when Li Qianxue did not come, she understood.
What could not be returned could never be returned.
She could never get back what she had lost.
Everything she had, in the end, became someone else’s. It had nothing to do with her anymore.
..
She still remembered her first birthday in prison. Other than Xiang caiping who came to see her in the morning, there was no one else who wished her well.
Her first birthday had always been the grandest and grandest event in Lin City.
She would receive countless expensive gifts and countless people who wanted to build a relationship with the Su and Li families would come to congratulate her.
Most importantly, her parents, grandfather, and her younger brother, Su Yuxin, would be present on her birthday.
Those were the family members that she treasured the most.
However, when it was her birthday again, those people did not appear again.
She had been waiting and waiting. When it was 12 o’clock at night, the flame was extinguished. She finally understood that she could not go back. She could not go back to the past.
After that day, she never dreamed about her past.
But today, she did not know what happened. She fell into that nightmare again.
She dreamed that Li Qianxue had broken up with Su Chenghui and that Li Qianxue looked at her. With tears in her eyes, she seemed very helpless. “You’re not my daughter. It’s wrong, everything is wrong.”
In the dream, Su Chenghui smiled bitterly at her. “I’m sorry, Peizhen. I’m the one who harmed you.”
“Peizhen, forgive me.”
“Peizhen, I’m the one who let you down.”
Su Chenghui’s voice was like a curse to Su Peizhen. The replay was just a reminder that she was not Li Qianxue’s child.
So what if she was not a child of the Li Family?
Could it be that a relationship of more than twenty years could be said to be gone just like that?
She really did not understand. In the end, she did not want to understand either.
But perhaps she was sick, or perhaps those were her deepest desires. Su Peizhen lay there weakly. The softest and most secretive part of her body was now exposed in front of everyone.
She thought no one would know, but she didn’t know that Ling Jing, who was beside her, had been standing by the bed, staring at Su Peizhen’s face.
He watched her sleep, watched her talk in her sleep, and watched her cry in her sleep.
Ling Jing subconsciously reached out his hand. Just as he was about to touch su Peizhen’s cheek, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
He took a step back and stared at Su Peizhen’s face with an unfathomable expression.
..
Su Peizhen had slept for a long time. When she opened her eyes, it was dark outside.
She had a terrible headache and blinked her eyes. For a moment, she could not tell where she was.
The lights in the room lit up. The sudden light made her squint her eyes.
Her body was helped up by someone, and there was a warm touch on her lips. The warm water entered her throat, and she instinctively swallowed.
It was also at this time that she saw clearly who the person in front of her was.
Ling Jing was holding a cup and carefully feeding her water. His eyes and brows were gentle. In this instant, the EVILDOER’s face actually looked a little gentle.
She was stunned for a moment, and didn’t have any further reaction.
“You’re awake. Then take the medicine,”Ling Jing said. He put the cup in his hand on the bedside table at the side, poured out the medicine, and put it into Su Peizhen’s mouth.
Bitter. The pill was very bitter. Su Peizhen frowned. Ling Jing fed her water again.
She was sick and took the medicine again, so her mouth became more bitter. Her eyebrows were so twisted that a mosquito could be squashed to death.
“What’s Wrong?”Ling Jing looked at her with concern. Su Peizhen looked at the gentleness in his eyes, and for some reason, she blurted out the word bitter.
“Bitter?”Ling Jing looked at her and then at the medicine at the side. Suddenly, he leaned over and kissed her lips.
She was still sick. She didn’t have any strength in her body, and her mouth was extremely bitter. But the man didn’t mind at all. He directly gave her a deep kiss.
She couldn’t react at all. Her fever delayed her rationality compared to usual. All her body could feel was the scent of a man, the scent of a man.
She leaned weakly into his embrace, allowing him to kiss her as he pleased. Until he finally let go of her.
He gently caressed her lips, his gaze as gentle as water.
“This way, it won’t be bitter, right?”
As he spoke, he took a pillow from the side and placed it behind her.
“I asked Xiao Zhao to cook some porridge. You’re sick, so you can only eat something light.”
Su Peizhen didn’t say anything. She watched Ling Jing stand up and bring her some porridge. Before she could reach out to take it, the person had already started feeding her.
It could be seen that Ling Jing had no experience in doing this. His actions were very clumsy.
The spoon was not put into her mouth, but by her lips. The slightly hot temperature made her avoid it. “Hot.”
“Hot?”Ling Jing glanced at the Spoon, blew on it, and handed the spoon to her again.
This time, it was not hot anymore. Su Peizhen opened her mouth. The porridge was very light. There was no taste in her mouth now, so what she ate was actually the same.
But looking at Ling Jing, she suddenly had a strange feeling.
His relationship with her was based on money. It was normal for Ling Jing to please her, but he didn’t need to do this.
The porridge entered her stomach bit by bit. Su Peizhen had been looking at Ling Jing. He was also looking at her. His eyes and eyebrows were focused, which actually made his usual devilish appearance much gentler.
At this moment, Su Peizhen’s usually calm heart had a subtle fluctuation.
After finishing the porridge, Ling Jing put the bowl to the side.
“How do you feel? Do you still want to sleep?”
Su Peizhen shook her head. “Give me my phone.”
Phone? Ling Jing thought of the ringtone he heard just now. He wanted to answer Su Peizhen’s call. But he didn’t answer.
If he couldn’t bear it, he would mess up the big plan. He had patience, but he could also bear it.
Holding her phone, Su Peizhen looked at Ling Jing with a probing look in her eyes.
There were a total of ten missed calls on her phone, including Xiang caiping, Su Chenghui, and Lin Feixing.
After eating the porridge, she felt much better, so she called Xiang caiping first.
“Peizhen, Feixing said he couldn’t find you, so he came to the house. Where are you?”
“Mom, I’m fine. It’s just that I turned on the mute and didn’t receive any calls.”
“Why is your voice so hoarse?”
“I’m fine. I just have a little cold.”
“You’re sick?”Xiang caiping suddenly became nervous. “Where are you? Are You in Rongyuan? I’m coming over to see you now.”
“Mom, there’s no need. I’ve taken the medicine and it’s almost done. I’ll be fine after a nap.”
“Are you really fine?”
“I’m really fine. Mom, don’t worry. It’s just a little cold. I’ll be fine after a nap.”
How would su peizhen dare to let Xiang caiping come over? If she really came, how would she explain when she met Ling Jing?
“Then you have a good rest. Oh right, call Feixing later. He’s very worried about you.”
“I know, I will.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Peizhen called Su Chenghui again. He was in Lin City. Lin feixing called Su Peizhen but she didn’t pick up, so he tried to contact Su Chenghui.
Su Chenghui heard Su Peizhen’s voice and knew that she had a cold. He told her to rest well.
“I’ll come to see you in two days.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Peizhen had a headache, but she did remember that she had promised to go on a business trip with Lin feixing today.
“Sorry.”Once the call was connected, Su Peizhen apologized first, “I have a cold. I’m not feeling well. I slept until now, but I didn’t go to the airport.”
“You’re sick?”Lin feixing’s tone suddenly changed. “Where Are You? I came to see you. I went to your house to look for you, but your mother said you weren’t at home.”
“I’m at my apartment near my company. You Don’t have to come. I’ll be fine after a nap. I’m really sorry that I missed my appointment today. I’ll have to trouble you to explain later.”
“It’s okay. You’re sick, so rest well. I’ll go by myself this time. Take care of yourself.”
“Okay.”Su Peizhen was indeed sorry. “Sorry to trouble you. I’m really sorry this time.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were sick.”
After hanging up the phone, Ling Jing happened to come in from outside. He had gone out when she called Xiang caiping previously.
Such a considerate action made Su Peizhen look at him in a different light.
This man was really pestering people when he was pestering them, but sometimes he made people feel that he was very gentlemanly.
He was clearly a small hooligan, but he still had the temperament of a gentleman? It was also magical.
Ling Jing came in and saw Su Peizhen looking at him with a cell phone in her hand. He took a few steps forward, took out the cell phone in her palm, and put it aside.
“You haven’t recovered yet. Rest more.”
When he spoke, he put her hand in his palm and held it tightly.
“You can’t finish business. If your body collapses, there will be nothing left.”
Su Peizhen was silent. It was a subtle feeling for someone like Ling Jing to say such words.
“Do you want to sleep a little longer?”
“No.”Su Peizhen shook her head. “This body is very uncomfortable. I want to take a shower.”
“I’ll help you take a bath.”
Ling Jing volunteered, but Su Peizhen instinctively refused. “No.”
If it weren’t for him yesterday, she wouldn’t have gotten sick or caught a cold.
Ling Jing circled her body that was about to get up and stared at her face. “Don’t worry. I’m not so bad that I have to bully a patient.”
Su Peizhen didn’t believe him, but Ling Jing had already gotten up and headed to the bathroom.
After putting in the hot water for Su Peizhen, when he came out, he saw that Su Peizhen was about to get out of bed. He quickly went up and picked her up.
“Ling Jing, put me down.”
“I said, I’ll help you.”
Ling Jing’s eyes were gentle as he looked at Su Peizhen. Su Peizhen couldn’t say anything else after she rejected him.
After her clothes were taken off, Su Peizhen actually felt shy for the first time when she saw Ling Jing’s actions.
Soon, her body was put into the bathtub. The water temperature was very suitable, and her body was surrounded by water.
If Ling Jing had not messed around with her in the bathtub yesterday, she would not have caught a cold. At first, she looked at Ling Jing somewhat defensively.
Later, she found out that when he said he was helping her take a bath, he was really helping her take a bath.
The strong palm gently touched her. She watched Ling Jing wash her body. At that moment, she suddenly returned to her childhood.
There were servants at home, but Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui really doted on her.
During this kind of parent-child time, there were many times when they would rather come by themselves.
Li Qianxue bathed her, and su chenghui gently dried her hair.
His palm touched the extremely hidden place, and Su Peizhen suddenly felt her face burn badly.
For Ling Jing, this bath was also extremely difficult.
With the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, the beauty in the bathtub lost her usual fierce aura because she was sick. Instead, she became more delicate.
That different appearance brought a brand new excitement.
He wished he could just do this damn woman right here.
He suppressed the impulse in his heart and suppressed the excitement in his lower half of his body that he almost couldn’t control.
He calmly bathed her, then carried her up and wiped her.
From the beginning to the end, his movements were extremely gentle. Su Peizhen was held in his arms and returned to the room.
He carefully dried the water for her and put her on the bed.
“Rest well.”
Su Peizhen was still sick and her body was weak. She closed her eyes and let herself fall asleep.
It was just that she slept too much during the day. Although she was sleepy, she couldn’t fall asleep so quickly.
Ling Jing followed her to the bed and lay down beside her. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.
“Sleep.”
She raised her head to look at him. He smiled at her and leaned over to give her a kiss on the lips.
“I’ll sleep with you. You’ll be fine after a sleep.”
Ridiculous. “...”she had never heard that sleeping could cure her illness. Su Peizhen really wanted to retort, but after her body was pulled into his arms, she really relaxed.
Closing her eyes and feeling Ling Jing’s hot chest, she finally let herself go and fell into a deep sleep.
Her body subconsciously leaned in Ling Jing’s direction, pressing tightly against his chest.
That gesture, which was equivalent to attachment, made the corners of Ling Jing’s lips curl up. There was a flash of pride in his eyes.
