As the night wore on, the black Maserati slowed down.

"Just stop here......"

Ye Qingjing asked the driver to park the car outside Pei's house, and quietly walked in from the gate with his mother's relics in his hand.

At this time, there were only a few dim lights left in Pei's house.

"Ah, ma'am, what's wrong with your face......"

Ye Qingjing walked through the entrance and actually met the maid in the house.

"Ma'am, I'll get you an ice pack to reduce your swelling."

"No need, I'll take care of it myself, you go to sleep."

She didn't want to be noticed about the redness on her face, so she just shook her head and let the maid go away.

Seeing this, the maid could only bow her head and slowly leave.

"Squeak—"

The study at the end of the corridor opened, and it was Pei Hongji's figure.

The soft light flowed from Pei Hongji's feet to Ye Qingjing's end.

"You...... You haven't slept yet."

Ye Qingjing covered his face with his hands and wanted to turn away.

"Wait! Jing'er, what's wrong with your face" Pei Hongji quickly caught up with Ye Qingjing, and his warm hands stroked her face.

Obviously, there was a palm print on the right side of Ye Qingjing's white porcelain-like face, which was red and swollen.

"I'll go get the ice pack, you sit down!"

Pei Hongji's voice was cold and hard, Ye Qingjing lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the anger in his eyes, but just responded obediently: "Okay."

Pei Hongji looked at Ye Qingjing's current appearance, a pity swirled in his heart, he sighed slightly, and then hurriedly walked to the kitchen.

And Ye Qingjing took advantage of the moonlight outside the windowsill to open the box containing his mother's relics. With her slender fingers, she wiped the dust off the old things one by one, put her mother's favorite silver jewelry on her chest and whispered, "Mother, do you say he is sincere to me......"

The moonlight is like water, and no one responds to the girl's doubts.

But Pei Hongji's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Ye Qingjing hurriedly returned to his original state and waited quietly for him in the living room.

"It may be a little stinging, Jing'er, you bear with it......"

Pei Hongji lifted a few strands of hair next to Ye Qingjing's cheeks and gently pressed the ice pack close to her face.

"Thank you......"

Ye Qingjing took the ice pack from Pei Hongji's hand, but when her fingers touched, her white jade-like ears were immediately stained red.

There are more intimate contacts than this, why are you still shy! Ye Qingjing secretly scolded himself in his heart, and turned his head slightly to hide his shyness.

Seeing this, Pei Hongji asked, "What happened when you went to Ye Mansion tonight?" Who slapped you? ”

"Yes...... It was my father and we had an argument......"

Ye Qingjing's eyes were tangled, in fact, she didn't want Pei Hongji to participate in her family affairs, she still knew too little about Pei Hongji. But with Pei Hongji's methods, even if he doesn't say it, he will find out, so it's better to sell himself and try his best to gain his trust during this time when he needs help.

Pei Hongji immediately hugged Ye Qingjing tightly, his baby was actually slapped, even if it was Ye Qingjing's biological father, he would never forgive!

Ye Qingjing leaned on Pei Hongji's arms, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and his originally fluctuating mood gradually stabilized.

After a long time, Pei Hongji rubbed Ye Qingjing's cheeks lightly with his fingertips, and found that Ye Qingjing had fallen asleep in his arms unconsciously. The redness and swelling on her face had mostly disappeared, and she was now sleeping comfortably.

"Jing'er ......"

Pei Hongji picked up Princess Ye Qingjing and walked to the bedroom, he was affectionately attached to Ye Qingjing's forehead, his steps were firm, like a knight guarding the princess.

"Well...... It hurts ......."

Pei Hongji quietly touched the swelling ointment on Ye Qingjing's face, while Ye Qingjing on the bed whispered uncomfortably.

There is no way, the ice pack can only alleviate the swelling and pain on the surface, and if you don't apply swelling ointment tonight, Ye Qingjing's cheeks will definitely have bruises tomorrow. Pei Hongji had no choice but to gently pat Ye Qingjing's back to soothe her emotions.

When Pei Hongji left the room, he didn't forget to kiss her lightly on the corner of her mouth, and called Ye Qingjing's name dotingly: "Jing'er......"

It's just that Pei Hongji didn't know that as soon as the door of the room was closed, the person on the bed, Ye Qingjing, opened her eyes, and her hands were tangled together.

This man, his gentleness, only penetrated into Ye Qingjing's heart bit by bit. She didn't know whether he was true or pretending, she couldn't figure out Pei Hongji, and she didn't know how to respond to Pei Hongji, afraid of being deceived and even more afraid of being let down.

Infinite troubles grew in her head, and she thought about it over and over again.

In the end, when the sky turned white, Ye Qingjing fell asleep in a daze.
