Chapter 95 - 95 Enjoy the Alone Time With Her
95 Enjoy the Alone Time With Her
“Yeah.” Lin Jiao picked up the spoon and scooped the soup, savoring the fragrance of the chicken.
She praised, “The soup is good.”
Qu Shao was still in a daze.
He placed his hands on the railing at the end of the bed and asked with uncertainty, “Can I change the way I address you?”
“How do you want to address me?”
“Lady Boss?”
“Isn’t this how you always address me?” The more Lin Jiao looked at him, the more confused she was.
Qu Shao was dumbfounded.
After Pei Zhi finished washing up, he quickly pulled him to the balcony. “Boss, there’s something wrong with Miss Lin’s head!”
“Her memory is just all jumbled up.”
“How did it happen?”
“Ask Shen Yi.” Pei Zhi did not have time to explain.
Before turning around, he reminded, “Be careful with what you say and do in front of her. She is unstable.”
“Alright.” Qu Shao nodded.
Not long after he found Shen Yi, Pei Yilan and Chu Yuzhou came over with the same confusion.
After they heard the whole story, they fell into a deep and long silence. No one knew what to say.
“Uncle, come out for a moment.” When Pei Yilan pushed open the door, her eyes were still red.
“What happened?”
“You know Jiaojiao’s condition, right?”
“Yeah.” Pei Zhi leaned against the wall and waited for his niece to continue.
“Can you please help her?”
“How do you want me to help?”
As soon as Pei Yilan looked into her eyes, she became timid, but for Lin Jiao, she still mustered up her courage to face him head on.
She said seriously, “You are very important to Jiaojiao now. If you don’t pretend to be her boyfriend, she’ll definitely break down.”
“And then?”
“I know you don’t like her, and it’s not fair to you, but she…”
“Who said I don’t like her?”
Pei Zhi smiled mischeveously.
He flicked her forehead twice, his tone filled with warning. “I will pretend you didn’t introduce a boyfriend to Jiaojiao, but if you do that again, don’t blame me for being rude.”
At this moment, Pei Yilan felt like she had been struck by lightning.
She was stunned for a moment before muttering, “Uncle likes Jiaojiao?”
Chu Yuzhou nodded. “Brother Pei liked her before she got together with Gu Quan.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?!” If she knew, she would have set them up long ago instead of letting that bastard Gu Quan break Lin Jiao’s heart.
“He hid it too well.” Chu Yuzhou played with the lighter and yawned. “I only found out two years ago.”
“Sigh.” Pei Yilan felt sorry for Pei Zhi when she thought of how he had been having a crush on Lin Jiao for so many years.
“Why are you sighing?”
“I’m just touched.” She said seriously, “Our Pei family is really too affectionate.”
“Are you affectionate?”
“Not only am I affectionate, but also my affection lasts the longest.”
“Oh.” Chu Yuzhou replied curtly.
He put the lighter back in his pocket and held her arm to pull her up from the chair. “Go in and see your aunt.”
Pei Yilan liked this idea.
“Auntie.” As soon as she entered, she pounced on the bed and hugged Lin Jiao. “I want a Chanel. Can I?”
“Which one?”
“The black tote bag.”
Pei Yilan opened the official website for her to see.
Just as Lin Jiao was about to place the order, Pei Zhi took her phone and punched in his credit card.
After paying, he returned it to her and said lovingly, “Use this card when you buy things in the future.”
“Okay.” Lin Jiao smiled faintly.
She returned to the official website and bought two scarves for Pei Yilan.
“This is especially suitable for you.” Pei Yilan pointed at a choker decorated with diamonds.
“It’s too shiny.”
“You can match it with a dress.” She showed the photo to Pei Zhi. “Uncle, what do you think?”
“Not bad.”
As soon as he said that it was not bad, Lin Jiao stopped hesitating.
She placed the order and began chit-chatting with Pei Yilan.
At this moment, Zhou Yanshen rushed to the hospital with a dark expression and called them to the balcony.
He said coldly, “The person who sent Lin Jiao to the hospital went abroad. So far, we only found out that his employer is called He Qi.”
“He Qi?” Chu Yuzhou paused in the middle of lighting a cigarette. “That name rings a bell.”
“Song Zhen’s friend.”
“The one who was beaten up in Bo Yu Club?”
“Yes.” Shen Yi frowned at Pei Zhi. “Do you think this has anything to do with Gu Quan?”
“I’m not sure.” Pei Zhi pondered for a moment. “But I don’t think it’s likely.”
“Then we’ll investigate He Qi.”
“And the surveillance cameras near Ming Xin Mansion.”
After hearing this conversation, Qu Shao went to investigate without needing Pei Zhi to remind him.
After he left, Zhou Yanshen finally figured out the relationship between that group of people. “If Gu Quan was really the one who did it, I’ll definitely kill him!”
To begin with, Gu Quan was a scumbag, and now he even resorted to violence.
Did he really think Lin Jiao was alone and easy to bully?
“Count me in.” Chu Yuzhou became especially excited when he heard about seeking justice for Lin Jiao.
He stepped on the cigarette butt under his foot. “They really don’t know what’s good for them. How long has it been since the last beating? They are itching for some punches again.”
“Calm down.” Shen Yi stopped him from brandishing his fists. “We’ll discuss it when Qu Shao finds out.”
“How long will it take him to find out?”
“Two days at most.” Pei Zhi was very confident in Qu Shao’s ability. Otherwise, he would not have kept him around.
He thought of the scene he saw in Bo Yu Club last time and a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes. “Don’t worry, the person who injured Jiaojiao will not escape unscathed.”
Zhou Yanshen gradually calmed down.
He stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers and looked back. “Is her wound inflamed?”
“No.”
“How long before she can remove the stitches?”
“In five days.” After telling him about her condition, Shen Yi was called away by a nurse.
He was busy seeing the patients, and the other three had their own things to do. In just a moment, the ward was deserted.
Pei Zhi was left alone to accompany Lin Jiao.
He was lying on the bed watching a drama with Lin Jiao in his arms. Just as he saw the male and female leads kissing, she turned to look at him.
He reminded her, “There are surveillance cameras.”
Lin Jiao pulled the blanket over their heads.
“They can’t see us now.” She pressed her lips against his chin in the dim light to find the spot where his lips were.
The moment their lips touched, Pei Zhi’s body tensed, followed by an indescribable numbness.
Even if it was just a light kiss, it still caused his desire to grow crazily.
Hearing his rapid breathing, Lin Jiao thought that he was stifled and quickly lifted the blanket to bring in some air.
She looked up. “Are you alright?”
“I guess so.”
Pei Zhi let out a long breath.
He pressed the play button on the iPad. Just as he thought that there would be no intimate scene, the male and female leads fell onto the sofa again.
Without waiting for her to speak first this time, he said, “Jiaojiao, I want to…”
“You want too?” Lin Jiao grabbed his collar.
She looked at the buttons. “But you’re not wearing a tie. I have nothing to pull.”
