Chapter 16 The one-year period of digging into the roots
"I want to hear the truth, don't make me say it a second time!" Pei Hengzhou warned sharply.
Zhao Xianda was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again, "Everything I said is the truth, on the day I was discharged from the hospital, a strange man called me and said that he could help me avenge me, I hesitated at that time, but he arranged for my wife and daughter to go abroad, so that you could not threaten me with them by your people, and gave me such an idea, I did this bastard thing today!" β
Pei Hengzhou frowned slightly, and looked at Zhao Xianda suspiciously.
"Pei Shao, what I said is true! I was really just in touch with that person on the phone! Zhao Xianda explained again.
Pei Hengzhou's thin lips pursed slightly, and he snorted, "I believe you for the time being, if you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences." β
After the words fell, he patted the non-existent dust on his body and looked sideways at Nan Ci, reached out to hold her hand, and chuckled, "Let's go!" β
"What about my daughterβ" Zhao Xianda asked eagerly.
Pei Hengzhou didn't look back, and said leisurely, "I can pay you back in the company, and I will also let someone send you back to your wife, as for your daughter, don't worry, she will have a better place to go than you!" β
Zhao Xianda was stunned for a moment, rushed up to Pei Hengzhou's departing back, and cried, "Pei Hengzhou, your words don't count!" You said you would let my daughter go, Pei Hengzhou! β
He seemed to have completely lost his mind and called Pei Hengzhou's name.
But Pei Hengzhou didn't hear it, and pulled Nanci to leave the "big win gate" quickly, Zhao Xianda wanted to chase it out again, but was stopped by Lin Jiang.
In the distance, only the heart-rending wail of a father could be heard.
The sound shattered Nanci's eardrums.
In the silent carriage, Nan Ci's ears kept echoing Pei Hengzhou's words.
She asked him if he really lost, would he really let her go with Zhao Xianda.
He said so indifferently and resolutely - willing to gamble and lose!
He also said to Zhao Xianda - this woman will always get tired of being played with one day.
Thinking of this, Nanci couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
She looked sideways at Pei Hengzhou's silent and handsome face, and asked coldly, "Teenage girl, can you do it too, Pei Shao?" β
Pei Hengzhou turned his head sideways to look at her, and suddenly smiled, "It's too small, so naturally you can't do it, why don't you keep it at home for a few years?" β
Nan Ci suddenly felt that this man was shameless and shameless.
She bit her red lip, "You really don't plan to let Mr. Zhao's daughter go back?" β
Pei Hengzhou's eyes nodded seriously, "Yes, I'll send her abroad first, and I'll talk about the rest in a few years." β
Nan Ci had mixed feelings in his heart, and the corners of his lips hooked up a lonely smile, "When did you get tired of playing with me and kicked me well, or you have long been tired of playing, and you want to take this opportunity to lose me as a bargaining chip to other men, but unfortunately, it failed as you wished!" β
Pei Hengzhou's eyebrows twisted first, and then he turned his head away, but he inexplicably raised a gentle smile.
This woman is angry with him for his actions and words!
In silence with each other, Lin Ting and Lin Jiang returned to the car one after another, and both reported that the matter had been completed, Pei Hengzhou nodded and ordered Lin Jiang to drive back to the villa.
Nothing to say along the way.
When he arrived at the villa, Pei Hengzhou took the lead in getting out of the car, stretched out his long arm to pick her up horizontally when Nanci pushed the car door, and instructed Lin Ting behind him with his head sideways, "Prepare two boiled eggs and send them to the room!" β
Nanci struggled twice, and after no result, she had to glare at Pei Hengzhou angrily, "You let me down." β
Pei Hengzhou walked quickly to the room and said in a dumb voice, "I'll naturally let you go when I get there." β
But until he returned to the room, Pei Hengzhou still didn't let go of Nanci.
He sat on the couch and let Nam Porcelain sit on his lap, and he tightly restrained her waist so that she could not move at all.
Nan Ci was a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Pei Hengzhou, let go of me quickly!" β
Pei Hengzhou sighed lightly, his eyes fell on Nan Ci's slap-slapped face, he raised his hand, and his cold fingertips touched the fingerprints on her face, "Does it hurt?" β
The moment the fingertips touched her skin, perhaps because of the pain, or because the temperature difference between the two was too great, Nan Ci reflexively avoided her face.
When she saw Pei Hengzhou's distressed eyes, she was stunned for a moment.
He never seemed to look at himself with such gentle eyes, and Nan Ci had a momentary obsession.
But she was rational after all, and she was afraid that she would fall into his gaze, so she turned her head away without a trace, but snorted coldly in her mouth, "Don't be coy!" β
Pei Hengzhou was not angry, his arms tightened, and his hot and beating chest pressed against her thin back.
He squinted his eyes slightly, a little indulged in her fragrant hair, he kissed her ear beads, and said with a smile for no reason, "I haven't gotten tired of playing with you, the reason why I promised Zhao Xianda to bet with him is because I know that I won't lose, you are mine, you can only be me alone, he doesn't have the ability to win me, let alone the ability to take you away from me!" β
Nan Ci stared at him, and it took a long time to realize that he was answering the last sentence she had just said in the car.
Listening to him say this, remembering the gamble he narrowly won just now, Nanci was still a little uneasy.
But Nanci smiled, "One point of the district narrowly wins, what if you really lose?" β
Pei Hengzhou calmly carried a bit of a scoundrel, "My official seal has been handed over, Pei's is no longer my territory, if he wants to, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the master, and he will have to work hard himself, as for you-"
While speaking, there was a knock at the door, it was Lin Ting.
Nan Ci was about to stand up from Pei Hengzhou, but Pei Hengzhou hugged him tighter, and with his "enter", Lin Ting pushed the door in.
What I saw was the embarrassment of Nanci who couldn't break free in Pei Hengzhou's arms, and his face was red and red.
Lin Ting glanced at Nanci with an extremely unfriendly gaze, and then handed the boiled egg in his hand to Pei Hengzhou, "Pei Shao, you want the boiled egg." β
Pei Hengzhou took it, "Let's go to the study with Lin Jiang and wait for me first." β
Lin Ting was stunned for a moment, nodded, and turned around and went out with some reluctance.
Pei Hengzhou wrapped his hands around Nan Porcelain's waist to peel eggs.
"Pei Shao is hungry, let go of me, and then eat." Nanci twisted his eyebrows and didn't like the current mode of getting along.
"Who said I was going to eat?"
Nam Por was puzzled and stared at him, only to find that he had used an egg to erase the fingerprints on her face after being slapped.
"Whew-"
Nanci exclaimed in pain.
Pei Hengzhou's eyes were so gentle that he could wring out the water, and gently blew on her face, "You bear with it, the eggs will be much better if they roll for a while." β
He is so gentle, he is so unreal, so that Nanci's heart is also unreal.
She looked at Pei Hengzhou fixedly, and sighed, "There are no outsiders at home, why do you want to act like this?" β
Pei Hengzhou frowned, and punitively increased the force in his hand, which made Nanci complain for a while.
"If you talk nonsense again, I don't mind punishing you in another way!" His wicked smile enlarged before her eyes, and a warm and bewitching breath spread through her neck, and in an instant, her body collapsed like a puddle of water in his arms.
Nan Ci bit his lip, was silent for a moment, and raised his head from his arms, his autumn-like eyes staring at Pei Hengzhou.
"I didn't talk nonsense, Pei Hengzhou, do you know what I talked to Zhao Xianda about two hours before you arrived at the "Big Win Gate"? She asked.
Pei Hengzhou's eyes sank, but his smile did not decrease, "What did you talk about?" β
"He told me that my surname is Wen, my name is Wen Nan Porcelain, and my family's Wen Group was comparable to today's Pei family three years ago."
"You believe it?"
"Believe, why not?"
"If you believe it, what else do you want to know from me?"
"What really happened three years ago? Why did you marry me? Why did the Wen family say that it was gone? What about my parents? Why did you lie to me for three whole years? Nanci asked several questions in a row, but his gaze never left Pei Hengzhou's eyes.
She desperately wanted to know everything from beginning to end, but Pei Hengzhou always pursed her lips, looking calm, and even the calm in her deep eyes never changed for a moment.
Nan Ci stubbornly said, "Aren't you going to tell me the truth?" β
Pei Hengzhou lowered his eyes, rubbed his rough fingers on her little hand, and said in a deep voice, "There are some things I can't tell you now, and I can't explain them to you, Nan Ci, when the time comes, I will tell you everything." β
Nanci was puzzled, but he couldn't see a trace of emotion in Pei Hengzhou's eyes.
"The time, when is the time?"
"Soon!"
"Are you making me wait so indefinitely? One month, two months, three years and five years, there must be a deadline, right? β
Pei Hengzhou twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "One year at most!" β
He stretched out his hand and stroked her cheek, "I can only tell you now, what Zhao Xianda told you is true, other things, when everything settles, I will confess to you, Nan Cera, promise me, don't think about anything within a year, don't think about divorce, don't think about things before amnesia, just stay by my side obediently, okay?" β
Pei Hengzhou's tone was pious, and he couldn't hear a trace of falsehood and perfunctory.
Nanci hesitated in his heart, should he believe him?
Her original surname was Wen, she was the eldest lady of the Wen family, and he could hide this most basic identity and surname from her, so what about other things?
Wen's downfall, her forgotten parents, and her miscarriage child with broken memories, and perhaps many things she didn't know, how much did he hide from her?
Trust him! She told herself.
Regardless of whether what he said at the moment is true or false, Nanci is willing to believe him once, and the final result is to get all the truth, whether he is deceived again, it is only this time.
The smile on the corner of her lips was like a bright velvet flower, "Okay, then a year, I believe you this time." β
When the words fell, Pei Hengzhou smiled with relief, he let go of Nan Ci, pinched her shoulders and let her sit beside him, and his smiling gaze instantly became serious.
His deep gaze fell on Nan Ci's face and said, "These things aside, next, you must remember every word I say." β
Seeing his serious appearance, Nan Ci subconsciously sat up straight, and his eyes became surprised and curious.
"From now on, stay away from the eldest brother, including Qin Yashi, don't believe what they say or do, if you ask to meet, you must get my consent." His tone was more cautious than ever.
