Chapter 786: Chapter 786 I Really Like You
So, when she saw him frowning in pain, He Ziyi couldn’t help but bring over some anti-swelling ointment.
It was both an apology and a desire to get closer to him…
But he seemed to really resist her presence.
So Ziyi felt somewhat sad.
Pei Yuanchen saw her distressed and dispirited look, his throat tightening, and he found himself at a loss for words.
“All right, give me the ointment, I’ll apply it myself,” he finally conceded after a while, “Miss He, you should know that men and women are different, you shouldn’t just barge into a strange man’s room in the future.”
“You’re not a stranger though, you’re Xiaobao’s uncle,” He Ziyi said with a smile, “And I really like you, I think you’re so interesting.”
Pei Yuanchen’s heart thumped in alarm at her blatant confession!
Before he could figure out how to respond, he saw He Ziyi suddenly reach out and once again lift his blanket!
Pei Yuanchen was genuinely scared of her by now, scrambling to one side and covering his private parts: “Miss He, please, I beg you, just leave!”
“Do… do you hate me?” He Ziyi bit her lip, “I’m sorry.”
Pei Yuanchen turned around and saw her face about to burst into tears, his heartbeat skipping a beat.
…This woman was truly a menace.
“I don’t hate you,” Pei Yuanchen took a deep breath, “But… I’m allergic to ointment, so I can’t use it. Thank you for your kindness.”
“Is that so…” He Ziyi pondered. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel⁂fire.net
“Yes, that’s how it is,” Pei Yuanchen nodded, trying to smile, “You should go rest, the spot you bumped doesn’t need attention, it will definitely be better by tomorrow.”
Pei Yuanchen felt like he was coaxing a little girl of just a few years old.
“Then alright,” He Ziyi nodded, “You go to sleep then, I’ll be leaving.”
“Mhm,” Pei Yuanchen continued to smile, “Good night.”
He Ziyi was very happy and sweetly tilted her head to smile: “Good night.”
Having said that, she finally turned and left.
Pei Yuanchen let out a long breath, lying back on the bed, the image of He Ziyi’s dazzling final smile still in his mind.
…It was truly bizarre!
The next day, Zhixi woke to find Pei Yuanchen had left early in the morning, which greatly frustrated her.
“Why was he in such a hurry?” Zhixi couldn’t help but ask Mr. Li.
“Mr. Pei didn’t say anything. He just urged you to take good care of yourself,” Mr. Li smiled.
Zhixi nodded and then saw Ziyi coming over from the next room, her face seemingly shadowed with melancholy.
“Ziyi?” Zhixi called out to her.
“Sister-in-law?” Ziyi’s face broke into a smile as she lifted her head, the earlier gloom instantly vanishing.
…Perhaps she was mistaken; she almost thought Pei Yuanchen had rushed off in such a hurry without saying goodbye because he had taken advantage of Ziyi.
“It’s nothing; you get some rest first. I’m going to wake up your brother,” Zhixi said with a smile, turning to go back to her room.
In fact, He Jingyao had intended to get up much earlier, but considering his fever from the day before, Zhixi insisted he rest a bit longer.
Now as she returned to the room, she found that he hadn’t just obediently rested as she asked, but was on the phone instead.
His voice was low and even, betraying neither joy nor anger, but Zhixi inexplicably felt a certain pressure.
“He Yizheng? Are you sure it’s him?” The man’s inquiry was calm and detached.
Zhixi paused upon hearing the name as well.
She knew He Yizheng had returned to the country in the past few years, quietly acting as the right-hand man to He Yirong.
Could it be that he had become restless again?
