143 She Wanted to Touch His Abdomen

“Uncle, how long before you arrive?” Lin Jiao, who was rushing to the hospital, looked at the time.

Pei Zhi turned on the turn signal. “Right away.”

He drove along the not-so-wide street to Tongji Hospital and stopped under the inpatient department.

The hospital was wrapped in darkness, giving off a sense of desolation.

In the empty corridor, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed.

“Yilan.” Lin Jiao glanced at the bed and asked in a low voice, “How is he?”

“He had just done the gastric lavage.”

“Is it serious?”

“Nothing serious at the moment.”

Pei Yilan wrapped the blanket around her tighter.

She looked at Jiang Ye, who was in a deep sleep, and the scene that happened in the hotel appeared before her eyes again.

“Jiaojiao.” She held the paper cup with both hands. “You have no idea how disgusting that woman is!”

“She forcefully did it with Jiang Ye?”

“She almost made it.”

Hearing her describe the situation of Jiang Ye being stripped of his pants, a trace of disgust flashed across Lin Jiao’s eyes.

She held Pei Yilan’s hand and stroked the scratches. “How did you get these?”

“She scratched me.”

“Did you fight with her?”

“To be precise, I hit her.” Pei Yilan raised her head slightly and drank half a glass of water. “Her face is swollen from being slapped by me.”

Lin Jiao could imagine how angry Pei Yilan was at that time.

She turned to look at Pei Zhi. “Uncle, ask the nurse for a bottle of disinfectant.”

“Alright.” Pei Zhi stood up and walked out.

When he returned with the disinfectant, he bumped into Qu Shao, who had just finished a call. “Have you found out?”

“Of course.” He was always professional when it came to tracking people down.

Qu Shao walked up to them and explained the relationship between Jiang Yingnuo and Jiang Ye.

At the mention of the contract, Pei Yilan clenched her fists again. “This is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person!”

Lin Jiao was also very angry. “She ruined someone’s future because of her own selfish desires. How can she say that she likes him?”

“She’s only fit to be a tramp in bed…”

Pei Yilan received Pei Zhi’s warning gaze and did not dare to say another cursing word.

She changed the topic. “How many people has she done that to?”

“Seven or eight.”

“Those people didn’t expose her?”

“It’s all voluntary exchange.” Qu Shao said, “Jiang Yingna will provide the resources, and they will sleep with her in exchange.”

“How old is she?”

“I didn’t ask that.” He paused for a moment. “It looks like he’s about the same as you.”

Lin Jiao did not expect her to be so young.

She did not ask further and was more concerned about Pei Yilan’s thoughts. “What do you plan to do?”

“Let’s talk about it when he wakes up.” Pei Yilan sighed. “With our current relationship, I can’t make a decision for him yet.”

“Then what about your injuries?”

“I’ll just take it that I was unlucky.” After giving Lin Jiao a look, she pretended to be pitiful. “Anyway, no one will stand up for me.”

Lin Jiao instantly understood what she was up to.

She lowered her head and rubbed the edge of the paper cup. “If it were me, no one would stand up for me either.”

“What about your boyfriend?”

“He doesn’t even care about his niece. Why would he care about me?”

Pei Zhi chuckled helplessly.

He held Lin Jiao’s waist tightly and raised her chin slightly.

“Who says I don’t care?” He kissed her lips as if there was no one around. “You two can do whatever you want.”

“You said it.”

“Of course.”

Lin Jiao pushed his shoulder away.

She discussed with Pei Yilan for a long time about the plan of retaliation before leaving.

“Uncle.” When she got home, she leaned against Pei Zhi on the sofa. “You have to be more careful when you eat with others in the future.”

Pei Zhi knew what she was worried about.

“Jiaojiao.” He stroked her long hair. “I won’t let that happen.”

“What if?”

“Qu Shao will be by my side at every social gathering. Once there is something fishy going on, I can leave at any time.”

Therefore, there was no ‘what if’.

He would not allow what if to happen either.

Lin Jiao looked up. “Anyway, you have to promise not to drink anyone’s wine, smoke anyone’s cigarettes, or meet anyone alone.”

“I promise.”

Pei Zhi agreed seriously.

Just as he was about to change the topic, he heard her voice again. “But if you’re forced to do that kind of thing, I won’t blame you.”

For a moment, Pei Zhi really felt that she liked and cared about him.

He moved his palm up inch by inch and held the back of her head through her soft hair. “There are no ifs. I only belong to you.”

Burning breath spread out over Lin Jiao’s face, and her lips were sealed by him.

She caressed the skin on his neck and placed her fingertips on his chest to listen to his heartbeat.

When the vibe was just right, she suddenly thought of something and lowered her eyes.

“I want—”

Pei Zhi was alarmed. “You don’t want to?” He stood up to leave while his rationality was still in control.

“I’m not done yet.”

“Then continue.”

Lin Jiao leaned close to his handsome face like a seductive nymph. “I want to touch your abs. Can I?”

“Why did you suddenly bring this up?”

“I heard from others that abs are very nice to touch.”

Pei Zhi guessed from whom she heard that.

“I’ll let you touch it another day.” He pulled the blanket over his abs.

“Which day?”

“On the day I think is right.”

“Give you another chance to reorganize your answer.” Lin Jiao looked like she would not stop until she got an exact time.

Pei Zhi knew that he could not get away without giving her the answer she wanted.

“After your next checkup.” He pushed aside the hair on the back of her head to look at the wound. “Okay?”

“Then you have to let me touch you a few more times.”

“How many times exactly?”

“Ten times.” Lin Jiao hugged his neck, thinking that he would like this kind of interaction. “If you think ten times is not enough, I can add a few more.”

“It’s enough.” Pei Zhi did not want to play with fire.

In order to prevent her from coming up with new tricks to torture him, he raised his chin at the pile of birthday gifts and asked her to open them.

Lin Jiao opened the box of Baccarat first.

She took out the pair of crystal glasses from the box and looked at them through the light. She did not forget to ask him, “Guess who sent these?”

“Qu Shao,” Pei Zhi said with a glance.

Lin Jiao carefully placed the cup on the coffee table and opened the second Burberry box.

Two scarves came into view. Just by looking at the style, she knew that they were from Qian Yue. “Uncle, do you have the same scarf?”

“No.”

“Then we’ll wear it when it turns cold.”

Pei Zhi smiled. “I’ll listen to you.” After replying to Qu Shao’s WeChat message, he continued to watch her unwrap the gifts.

After matching the gifts with people, Lin Jiao walked to a sealed cardboard box.

She used a pair of scissors to cut open the tape and looked at the small boxes inside. She raised an eyebrow and said, “Chu Yuzhou gives the most gifts.”
