"I didn't leave you behind. I just went to work. ”

He took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.

"Don't make any more trouble, Xiaoru. ”

"Ah——!!h

Ji Xiaoru suddenly covered her ears and screamed.

Pei Yuansheng closed his eyes, and the painful look on his face intensified.

But Ji Xiaoru was completely immersed in her own pain.

She couldn't understand why he couldn't meet her even such a small request.

She couldn't accept it, why did he treat her so cruelly?

What did she do wrong, make him hate her so much?

She's done everything she can to please him!

She didn't want to see a psychiatrist at all, but he said she needed it, and she obediently went every day.

When he worked in the study at night, she had been waiting for him alone in the bedroom for a long time!

Why, now he wants her to wait?

Why??

Does he hate her that much?

Or has her presence made him unbearable?

Pei Yuansheng stood there forbearingly, his face pale and painful, motionless, waiting for her sharp and terrifying screams to stop without saying a word.

After Ji Xiaoru finished venting, she suddenly felt scared when she met the other party's calm and waveless eyes.

Why didn't he scold her, why didn't he get angry?

Has he reached the point where he is too lazy to react to her?

Ji Xiaoru was desperate.

She didn't know what she had to do to get his attention back.

Want to apologize?

Will he forgive himself if he apologizes?

She stretched out her withered hands and tried to grab his, but he dodged them sideways.

"Go to sleep. ”

He walked towards the study.

His move to avoid her made her heartbroken.

He hated her so much and avoided her like a femme fatale.

It wasn't like this before!

Obviously, he was so good to her before, and he couldn't wait to be with her every minute.

Why do men say they have changed?

She doesn't understand it, and she doesn't want to accept it!

"I was wrong, Lu Zi, I shouldn't have lost my temper just now, don't be angry...... Will you forgive me?"

She stood there and begged helplessly.

He didn't stop walking, as if he hadn't heard at all.

She slowly crouched down and covered her face with her hands.

Guilt, self-blame, resentment...... One after another, came to her mind.

But soon, she heard the "click" of the door shut.

When I looked up, I saw that the door of the study was closed, and there was no more of his voice in front of me.

She wondered blankly, what the hell was going on?

Why did he have no pity for her now?

Obviously, he cared about her very, very much before.

Even if she frowned, he would be nervous.

Not to mention the tears she shed.

He had never been willing to upset her.

Now he can turn a blind eye to her pain.

She couldn't accept such a change and was very confused.

However, not only was he unwilling to give her an answer, but he also disdained to pay attention to her.

This realization made her like a trapped beast, struggling to herself, tossing herself to the point of bleeding, but useless.

Pei Yuansheng sat alone in the study, with nothing to do, just to take a breath.

As long as Ji Xiaoru was there, he felt suffocated and tormented.

This feeling is growing day by day.

He knew that he couldn't blame Ji Xiaoru, so he just accepted his fate and endured it silently.

He leaned back in the recliner, first closed his eyes and cleared his mind, and after a moment, picked up his phone.

Since leaving Huaguo, he has rarely used this mobile phone to contact anyone.

As the CEO of Pei's Group, it is impossible for him to be without social contacts, but for the time being, all those are handled by the secretary, including the mobile phone used for communication.

And the contact information of this mobile phone is only known to a few of the closest relatives and friends.

Including the WeChat in the mobile phone, all the contacts add up to no more than ten people.

He usually doesn't use WeChat, and of course, no one will send him a message.

At this time, I was bored and stretched out my hand to open the circle of friends one by one to take a look, and I also felt bored.

Finally, his finger fell on Tang Xiao's avatar, paused, and clicked away.

She has rarely posted on Moments recently, but when she flips forward, she can see a few photos with her friends and one or two selfies.

Pei Yuansheng has seen these photos many times.

But every time I look at it again, I still can't help but raise the corners of my mouth.

At all times, she was able to calm him down.

After looking at her photos for a while, he suddenly felt a strong urge to talk to her.

It's a little late, looking for her now, will it disturb her rest?

Pei Yuansheng thought about it, and still sent her a photo of the scenery of the Eagle Country taken two days ago.

I thought I wouldn't receive any response, but who knows, the phone immediately rang with a message prompt tone.

Pei Yuansheng felt a feeling of his heart beating faster for a while.

"It's so beautiful, it looks like you're having a lot of fun in Eagle Country. ”

Tang Xiao replied.

Pei Yuansheng pursed his lips and typed with a smile: "It's okay." What about you, how are you doing?"

"It's old, it's calm. When are you and Xiaoru coming back?"

Pei Yuansheng's fingers paused, not knowing how to explain the current situation to Tang Xiao.

Everything didn't go as smoothly as expected.

However, he did not want to worry her.

He'd rather take all the pressure on his own.

"It's coming. ”

"Really?"

Tang Xiao was obviously excited: "How is Xiaoru now?

"Not yet, but don't worry. ”

Pei Yuansheng thought about it for a while, and then said, "I will definitely let the doctor cure her." ”

"Pei Zi, thank you for your hard work. ”

Tang Xiao made an expression of a small person holding a flower.

Pei Yuansheng smiled when he saw it.

"It's not hard, it should be. How have you been with Reiko lately. ”

"It's good, I don't have any other wishes, I just hope that he can stay at home and accompany me more, and don't get too busy with tasks. ”

Tang Xiao typed very fast, and chatting with Tang Xiao, Pei Yuansheng had the illusion that the other party was sitting in front of him.

"Then you talk to Liezi and let him retire early. ”

"Haha, at his age, I will raise him after retirement?"

"Why, you don't want to?"

Pei Yuansheng laughed unconsciously while typing.

He could imagine Tang Xiao's pouting after seeing this.

Sure enough, Don smiled back at the expression of a kitten holding his chest.

"Who's to say I don't want to?"

Pei Yuansheng looked at the kitten and felt that it was very similar to Tang Xiao.

"Tease you. ”

Pei Yuansheng thought for a while and said, "Wait until I go back and go to eat with you." ”

"Okay, whatever you want to eat, I'll invite you. ”

"Full Han Banquet?"

"Okay, I please. ”

"Is Dr. Tang so generous? ”

"It's rare to invite you once, it doesn't matter how much it is. Besides, if my salary is not enough, I can ask you, and I can just swipe my card. ”

Tang Xiao made a cute cat expression with a wink again.

Pei Yuansheng smiled again: "This cat is really like you." ”

"yes!" Cheng Lie said the same. ”

"Haha, it's not early, go to sleep. ”

"Okay, good night. ”

Pei Yuansheng put down his mobile phone, closed his eyes and leaned on the recliner, feeling a rare relaxation.

Just then, he heard a slight noise outside the door.

Pei Yuansheng walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Ji Xiaoru standing at the door timidly.

"What's wrong?"

He asked.

"Lu Zi, don't be angry with me, okay?"

She resigned, "I know it's all my fault, don't be angry, okay? I won't lose my temper anymore......"

"I'm not angry. ”

Pei Yuansheng was a little helpless.

"That'...... Would you like to kiss me?"

Ji Xiaoru rubbed her fingers, her eyes full of longing.

Pei Yuansheng looked down at her.

Frankly, he doesn't love her and has no desire to kiss her.

What's more, she has been getting more and more hysterical lately, and he has nothing left but a sense of responsibility for her.

"Xiaoru, go to sleep. ”

He touched her cheek.

She took his hand at once, clenching it tightly.

Her palms were clammy and sweaty, and her fingers were thin and hard.

He didn't break free, but there was a boredom in his heart.

"Kiss me. ”

She said stubbornly.

Pei Yuansheng shook his head: "Xiaoru, don't force me to do things I don't want to do, okay?"

Tears glistened in her large, blank eyes.

"Why? You weren't like that before...... Why don't you even kiss me now?"

“……”

Pei Yuansheng was speechless.

Because I'm not him.

Because I don't love you.

Because you didn't cherish that person when they loved you deeply.

Some things happen in a causal cycle.

But the answer is hard to say.

He wouldn't say, and she stubbornly waited for an answer.

But most of the time in life, people can't wait for someone to answer them.

If you can't find the answer, you'll never have one.

"Is it because I've been ugly lately?"

She touched her face and looked a little flustered: "I...... I've been too thin lately, and my face is too bad, right?"

"It's not. ”

He shook his head and said, "Xiaoru, you are beautiful, you have always been beautiful. ”

"Why don't you want to kiss me?"

She was very uncomfortable.

She thought that he must have become ugly and disgusting, which is why he would not touch her.

She hated herself so much, and couldn't stop thinking, how on earth could I get him to like me like him as much as he used to?

She didn't know.

It seems that in the past, she didn't deliberately do anything to please him, she was just herself, and the way he looked at her was always full of love.

He would always kiss her, no matter what she was doing.

Even when two people sneak out on dates, he often turns his head to look at her, looks at her, and kisses her desperately.

At the time, she even occasionally got bored with him, joking that he was a walking teddy.

He always laughed it off, and no matter what she said about him, he was good-natured.

At that time, he had never had the slightest impatience with her.

But now.

He looked at her like a piece of wood with a cold heart.

She didn't know what the hell was wrong with him.

She looked at his familiar face, desperate to return to the intimacy she had with him.

"Lu Chenxi, if you don't want to kiss me, will I kiss you......? Really love you. ”

She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

He was stunned and said, "Xiaoru, don't ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, she had already pounced, put her arms around his neck, and gagged his lips.
