Dating After Divorce - Chapter 118
The words just now were just nonsense made up by Pei Yi in a hurry.
At this time, when Zhou Ruguang said to call Xu Xian to come over, a layer of wet sweat appeared on her palms unconsciously.
“Dad, I just finished arguing with her, and I don’t want to see her yet.”
Zhou Ruguang stretched out his hand and lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose up, his face a bit colder.
“I didn’t call her here so you could see her, but I had something to tell her.”
It seems that he is determined to prevent the two from breaking up.
Pei Yi pursed her lips tightly, shook her head, and there was some pleading in her tone, as if embarrassed.
“Dad, this is about me and her.”
“That’s good. I’ll call her to come over. Whether I want to break up or not, I’ll have a good discussion with her.”
Zhou Ruguang was quite satisfied with this answer.
“Since you have feelings, don’t say the word breakup at will.”
“Although Xu Xian’s background is not as good as yours, her future will definitely not be bad. I agree with your mother when you are with her.”
“You’ve always been very reasonable, don’t let us down in this matter.”
It’s still the same rhetoric I’ve heard countless times since I was a kid.
Pei Yi lowered her head and tightened her five fingers to tighten the chain in her palm.
“I know what to do, Dad.”
“I’ll call her here.”
Zhou Ruguang heard the sound, nodded, and immediately walked to the sofa and sat down. It seemed that he did not intend to leave.
Pei Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and call Xu Xian.
“Are you home yet? If you don’t go back, come to my house. I have something to tell you.”
Xu Xian didn’t go out for a day and stayed in the apartment all the time.
Suddenly receiving such an inexplicable phone call, it was Pei Yi who called. For a while, she thought that the other party regarded her as someone else.
“Miss San, I’m Xu Xian, did you make a mistake?”
Zhou Ruguang just sat on the sofa and watched, Pei Yi didn’t even dare to breathe.
“If you don’t want to break up, come over now. If you don’t come, we won’t be in touch again in the future.”
This sentence pretty much explains the situation.
Xu Xian quickly reacted and finally gave a positive reply.
“I know.”
“I’ll go right now.”
They are fake couples themselves, and they don’t mind playing another quarrel and breakup scene in front of Zhou Ruguang.
The three receivers, along with the silver bracelet, were unknowingly stuffed into Xu Xian’s hands by Pei Yi.
“I’ll give you the bracelet. It’s too tiring to be with you! Even if you don’t understand romance, you won’t say nice things. You know I’m angry, so you don’t come to coax me.”
“If you don’t plan to get rid of this problem, I don’t see the need for us to meet.”
Pei Yi’s acting skills are really good.
An unwarranted, false quarrel only between couples, when it came out of her mouth, it was the same as the real thing.
Zhou Ruguang was deceived, and Xu Xian also took it seriously.
She saw the corners of Pei Yi’s eyes that were slightly flushed because of anger, and the expression of grievance, sadness, and anger and disappointment echoed in her ears when Pei Yi spoke.
This made her unable to distinguish whether everything in front of her was real or acting.
In short, those words she had never heard, never thought about, and never said, just said it.
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, not next time.”
“No matter what holiday in the future, whether it’s a month, two months, or three months together… I’ll write it down.”
“I don’t want to break up, can I put this bracelet on for you again?”
Xu Xian’s tone was so serious that even Pei Yi praised her acting skills for improving a lot.
Knowing that Zhou Ruguang wanted to see him and Xu Xian reconciled, Pei Yi pretended to hesitate, and nodded lightly after a few minutes.
“Alright then, forget it this time.”
After speaking, she stretched out her right hand and brought her wrist to Xu Xian.
“Help me put it on.”
Xu Xian’s lips curved slightly, her eyebrows lowered, and she took out the bracelet.
“Okay.”
The action of wearing the bracelet is smooth and flowing, and it is full of care and treasure.
Zhou Ruguang watched this scene while sitting on the sofa, and for no reason remembered the scene when he gave Ning Chun the necklace, and he was a little lost for a moment.
There is no possibility of life again.
But at this moment, he couldn’t help but start to imagine whether Ning Chun would still love him now if he wasn’t so stubborn in wanting to be successful in his career.
Pei Yi took Xu Xian’s hand and walked towards the sofa.
It was not until a shadow fell in front of him that Zhou Ruguang regained his senses.
“Dad, what’s wrong with you?”
Pei Yi sat down next to Zhou Ruguang and deliberately exposed the silver bracelet on his wrist.
The light shines, and the silver chain emits a faint white light, which looks very valuable.
Zhou Ruguang looked up at Xu Xian, and then turned to Pei Yi.
“Xiao Xu wants to support her family, don’t always let her give you things.”
“There is a newly opened jewelry store at the entrance of Chengxi Street. You can bring Xiaoxu there to see if she likes anything and how much she spent, and then it will be counted on Dad’s account.”
Xu Xian frowned upon hearing this.
She was about to refuse when she saw Pei Yi nodded and accepted the kindness with a smile.
“Thank you dad.”
After coming out of Pei’s house, it was already dark.
Can’t tolerate Xu Xian’s refusal, Pei Yi has already driven the car to the door of the jewelry store.
“It’s fortunate that I reacted quickly, otherwise Dad would definitely find something wrong. However, your acting skills are also good, and you have improved a lot from the beginning.”
Pei Yi turned her head and smiled at the girl beside her.
“This bracelet was bought from abroad by a trustee last time, but I didn’t like it very much, so I just put it in the cabinet, and it finally has some effect today.”
“We’re at the store, let’s go.”
Pei Yi unfastened her seat belt as she spoke.
Xu Xian sat in the co-pilot and didn’t move, her expression seemed a little serious.
“No need, Miss San.”
“I want to go back to the apartment.”
go back?
Pei Yi’s hands stopped, and her upper body moved closer to Xu Xian.
“What’s the matter? You don’t seem very happy.”
Xu Xian shook her head and finally spoke her heart out.
“I’m not upset.”
“I just don’t want to take his stuff.”
Pei Yi knew exactly what Zhou Ruguang was doing behind his back.
Only then did she understand why Xu Xian showed such a helpless, embarrassed, and somewhat angry expression.
After all, Xu Xian was just a hapless person who was accidentally involved in this matter. After Zhou Ruguang was arrested, he was likely to be involved and investigated by the police.
Pei Yi suppressed the indebtedness in her heart, stretched out her hand to hold Xu Xian’s hand, then curved her lips and explained softly.
“Who said it was his?”
“I want to send you.”

Days passed, and in a blink of an eye, three days passed.
Ning Chun still didn’t wake up.
Ning Ruan and Ning Baobao stayed in front of the hospital bed, one big and one small looking at the woman on the hospital bed, frowning tightly.
“Mom, when will grandma wake up?”
Ning Rou sighed and reached out to touch her daughter’s little head.
“We come to accompany grandma every day, and grandma will wake up.”
Ning Baobao heard this sentence, turned around and lay on the bed again, and whispered to the unconscious Ning Chun.
“Grandma, I am the baby.”
“Mum and I miss you very much.”
“Will you wake up soon?”
Ning Rou was relieved and sad to hear it, she walked to the window and stood alone.
At nine o’clock at night, it was dark outside.
In a big city full of feasting and feasting, no matter how late it is, there are always people coming and going on the streets.
Recalling the peaceful life in Yuanxiang, Ning Rou has a trace of worry about the unknown future.
Luo Zhen pushed open the door with the soup pot, and the two people in the room suddenly turned around together.
“Mommy.”
Ning Baobao was the first to react and immediately greeted him.
Ning Rou also turned around at this time.
“Actually, Aunt Mei doesn’t have to cook soup every night, it’s too hard.”
Luo Zhen put down the soup pot and smiled lightly.
“She is also worried about you and wants you to make up for your health.”
The two haven’t told Ning Baobao about the pregnancy.
Luo Zhen’s words were vague at this moment, but Ning Rou understood it right away.
“It’s too much trouble, Aunt Mei.”
Luo Zhen opened the soup bowl, first filled a bowl for Ning Rou, and then took a piece of corn with a fork and sent it to Ning Baobao.
It was not until both mother and daughter began to enjoy the food that she sat down contentedly.
“It’s all a family, don’t be so polite.”
“If you don’t drink, Aunt Mei will be unhappy.”
***
After Ning Chun left, Zhou Ruguang opened the study at home, and the monitors on the corridor and windows were also removed one after another.
It seems that he is ready to return to the family.
Pei Yi also inquired about Zhou Ruhong and found that Zhou Ruguang hadn’t contacted Zhou Ruhong once these days, she just felt incredible.
That night, there were only her and Zhou Ruguang at home, and somehow the topic came to Pei Xuan.
“It’s been more than half a month since your mother went to your elder brother’s place. Have you asked her when she plans to come back?”
Pei Yi’s hand trembled, almost not holding the chopsticks.
“Mom said that I don’t want to come back for the time being, and the eldest brother’s vacation is not over yet. I think that when the eldest brother is finished, my mother will go home.”
This statement is reasonable.
Zhou Ruguang had no doubts.
“Your eldest brother hasn’t returned to China for a few years. Let him come back with your mother then.”
The father and daughter were having a meal while chatting about family affairs, and the atmosphere was inexplicably warm.
However, in Pei Yi’s view, this harmonious atmosphere is really weird.
After seeing Zhou Ruguang’s true face, she could no longer bear this hypocritical family affection.
“Dad, I’m full, I’ll go back to my room first.”
After hurriedly eating the rice in the bowl, Pei Yi put down his chopsticks.
Zhou Ruguang nodded, seeing that she was about to leave, and asked another question.
“How is your illness?”
Pei Yi stopped for a few seconds before answering.
“much better.”
“You are also twenty-five this year, and you are going to treat your illness. Don’t forget your career. Since Xu Xian is not going to go abroad, I think, when your hand recovers, you can stay in the country to develop. “
One second, he was still talking to his daughter warmly, and the next second, he sacrificed his daughter’s career and tied his target to the team.
Pei Yi felt a chill in her heart, but her face still looked normal.
She is still the excellent daughter who is sensible and obedient in Zhou Ruguang’s eyes.
“Got it, Dad.”
As soon as Pei Yi left, the surroundings became quiet again.
This family, I don’t know why, is getting more and more impersonal.
Since Ning Chun left, Zhou Ruguang’s frequency of going to the study has been greatly reduced.
After eating, he also went into the bedroom.
The empty room was cold everywhere, and the big bed that should have been soft and warm was also cold and hard.
At this moment, Zhou Ruguang actually missed the days when Pei Xuan was by his side.
However, this unexpected feeling of longing had just appeared, and it was immediately suppressed by him.
Unable to accept the fact that he missed Pei Xuan, he walked to the safe in the corner and took out the agreement that symbolized humiliation.
With just one glance, his resentment towards the Pei family surfaced from the bottom of his heart.
An hour later, the protocol was put back into the locker.
When the cabinet door is closed, a small number ‘6’ appears on the blank screen above the fingerprint lock.
Zhou Ruguang glanced out of the corner of his eyes, and his face changed dramatically—
Someone secretly opened the safe without telling him.
