When she lay limp and sweaty in his arms, not wanting to move at all, she lowered her eyes and said guiltily, "I'm sorry …"

Han Jing shushed his and closed his eyes tiredly, "Don't say anything. Let's sleep with his tonight. "

For the first time, she felt safe. Like a boat that had been tormented by the storm for a long time, she was finally able to safely sail into the calm and tranquil harbor. This time, she could finally rest in peace.

If this was the past, she would not have dared to imagine such treatment.

He really had changed a lot.

Gently, he would give in.

Was he really in love with her this time?

However, how long would it take for her, who had experienced such a terrible situation, to get out of that haze?

She didn't know.

Thinking back to all that they had experienced, Xia Zhi's eyes quietly became moist, and when she tried to wipe her tears away, he saw that he had suddenly opened her eyes, startled. She anxiously tried to close her eyes to pretend to be asleep, but it was already too late.

He grabbed her hand and said gently, "From now on, I'll wipe your tears until one day you stop crying because I'm sad."

He lowered his head and bit by bit swallowed her tears.

The tears were bitter and salty, and so was his heart.

Looking at his eyebrows that were knit even more tightly and the pain in his eyes, Xia Zhi's heart ached. He extended his hands and hugged his neck, and said softly: "Yao Chen, I'm sorry."

"No. Don't say you're sorry. I'm the one who said I'm sorry. I was so selfish and greedy that I just wanted to fall in love with you as soon as possible, completely ignoring your feelings. Xia Zhi, it's my fault. I gave you so much pain. Don't worry, I won't force you. I will let time prove that I have the power to soothe your pain. I just need you to give me a chance. Xia Zhi, tell me, do I still have a chance? " Pei Yaochen said in a gentle and low voice, and when he finished, his voice was choked with sobs.

Xia Zhi's heart raced a thousand times, she hugged him even more tightly, and said in a low voice: "Of course. You know I love you. Pei Yaochen, I love you. There is no doubt about this. I just need a little time. "

"Yes." We'll work hard together! " Pei Yaochen nodded strongly.

Xia Zhi replied lightly, and did not speak further, but tightly embraced him.

It wasn't until the butler knocked on his door that Xia Zhi finally pushed him gently, "Shall we get up?"

"Alright." Pei Yaochen gave her a light kiss on the face before letting her go. He stood up and said gently, "I'll go and help you bathe with water. If you soak in it properly, you'll feel a lot better. "

He turned and walked back to the bathroom.

Xia Zhi was a little panicked and wanted to refuse, but she felt that if she refused, she might harm him. She didn't say anything in the end and only watched him walk into the bathroom with a little uneasiness in her heart.

Pei Yaochen helped Xia Zhi store the water well, and sprinkled a few lavender essential oil on top of the water. After testing the temperature of the water, he felt that everything was just right, and then turned and walked out.

The moment he left, he saw Xia Zhi scratching her hair with a frown with a troubled look on her face. He could not help but let out a soft sigh and walked forward to her, saying gently, "Don't be afraid, I won't stay here. I'll go downstairs and wait for you. Also, the clothes are in the closet. Before you come back, ask the butler to order them according to your size. Pick out the ones you like. I'm leaving. "

Without waiting for Xia Zhi to speak, he turned and quickly walked out the door.

Xia Zhi stared blankly, she was not used to it at all. Ever since she had met him, he had always been an arrogant and tyrannical person. It was the first time she was being so gentle and restrained.

However, this was exactly what she wanted the most. She really didn't want to have anything bad to do with him anymore.

He hoped that she would take the opportunity of his retreat to step out of the shadows of the past.

Xia Zhi sighed, got off the bed and walked into the bathroom. Looking at the steaming hot water and smelling the fragrance floating in the air, she felt much better.

He was so good to her.

Xia Zhi had been soaking in the water for almost an hour, soaking in the water until her entire body felt comfortable. Finally, he walked out of the bathtub with a refreshed expression and changed her clothes.

When he went downstairs, he saw Pei Yaochen saying something to the butler.

The steward frowned and looked depressed.

When Xia Zhi walked behind them, she heard that Pei Yaochen had used an unquestionable tone and said, "This matter is decided. There was no need to discuss it further. Just do as I tell you. "

"All right. Sir. I'll do it. " The butler nodded helplessly to Xia Zhi and turned to leave.

Pei Yaochen turned around and took her hand, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry yet." Xia Zhi shook his head and asked suspiciously, "Did something happen?"

"I'm fine. It's just a family matter. You don't have to worry about it. Breakfast is ready, let's eat first. " Pei Yaochen did not want to talk much.

Although Xia Zhi was worried, she tactfully did not ask further.

She knew that he had always been a very assertive and competent person.

After the two of them finished their meal, Pei Yaochen asked gently: "The weather today is not bad, do you want to take a walk in the garden with me?"

Xia Zhi shook his head, "You don't need to accompany me all day. You should go to work. I also want to return to my rented room for a few days. "

Pei Yaochen frowned, and slowly nodded. You can go back and stay for a while. "

Xia Zhi carefully glanced at him, "Don't be angry. I just don't think we've reached that stage yet. You know, we weren't really in love yet! Although you may think I'm troublesome, but as a girl, actually want to enjoy the love life. Otherwise, when I get old, I will feel some regret. I may be a bit of a pain in the ass, but I'm telling you the truth and you mustn't get angry. "

"No. I won't be angry. I am too selfish and greedy. I can't wait to lock you in my sight from now on and completely ignore your feelings. Let's go. I'll send you back now, then go to work, and let you have enough personal space and time. Pei Yaochen asked gently.

Xia Zhi did not expect him to be so considerate, she was overjoyed, and nodded her head, "Then let's go. Your company just took over and it's been almost a month since you left. You're too incompetent. "

Pei Yaochen tapped her head lightly, "You sure know how to supervise people. "To tell you the truth, if you'd let me, I'd have liked to stay by your side every day."

Xia Zhi giggled: "That won't do. I don't want to be a disgrace to the world. Don't forget, your grandfather doesn't like you to be so engrossed. If you continue like this, he should come all the way here to interfere with us. I'm afraid that the gains will be more than the losses. "

Pei Yaochen coldly snorted, "He is currently very weak, and is unable to come personally. Even if he did come, do you think I would give him the chance to interfere? Once upon a time, we were nothing, and he couldn't stop me from helping you. Now, you are the woman that I, Pei Yaochen, love, let alone think of interfering with us! Otherwise, the only one who would regret it would be him! "

Hearing him defend himself like that, Xia Zhi could not help but be happy, his eyes turned around as he suddenly grabbed's arm, and laughed: "Pei Yaochen, speak honestly, from the first time you saw me, you were already interested in me? It's just that you're too proud to admit it. "Isn't it?"

Pei Yaochen slightly narrowed his eyes, and smiled with extreme gentleness. Now that I think about it, it really does seem like what you said. Xia Zhi, I might fall in love with you at first sight. "

Xia Zhi was so happy that her mouth could not even close, "Haha! I was right! Pei Yaochen, you are so shameless! "

Pei Yaochen raised his eyebrows, "Are you for show then?"

"Hee hee." Me too. We are a match made in heaven! " Xia Zhi's eyes were as bright as stars, causing Pei Yaochen's heart to tremble. She carried her by the waist and walked to the side of the carriage, "Then let's go to the car and do some dirty work!"

Xia Zhi was shocked, and anxiously struggled, "Don't. Pei Yaochen, why did you think that way with just a few words? "

Pei Yaochen gently placed her in the car and gently patted her panicking face, "Don't be afraid, I'm just teasing you! Rest assured, from now on, without your permission, I will definitely not strip you of your clothes. I promise! "

At the end, he even solemnly raised three of his fingers and swore to the heavens.

Xia Zhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and stared at him: "I believe you!"

Pei Yaochen smiled and turned to get on the carriage. Seeing that she had not tied up her seat belt yet, he bent over to help her fasten her seat belt again. He gave her a heavy pinch on his face, then proudly waved his hand, "Let's go!"

Looking at his spirited appearance, Xia Zhi's heart skipped a beat. She thought he was really pretty, so she could really see that she wanted to sit beside him and watch him for the rest of her life …

At this moment, Han Jing was already sitting in his office. He quickly flipped through the medical records for the surgical patients, stood up, and walked out.

When he was about to reach the operation room, he felt a strong force coming from behind him. He staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, his hands were on the wall in time to support him. He frowned and turned around.
