185 She Likes Pei Zhi

On Sunday evening, Qian Yue and Pei Yilan rushed to Ming Xin Mansion with beer and skewers to help Lin Jiao solve her problems.

“Jiaojiao.” Pei Yilan opened the beer and sat cross-legged on the carpet. “Let me tell you something that only you don’t know.”

“What?”

“Uncle has liked you for many years.”

Lin Jiao’s eyes widened. “Many years?” She looked up in disbelief, her voice trembling. “Are you lying to me?”

“No.” Her expression was especially serious. “Chu Yuzhou told me himself, but I’m not sure how many years.”

Qian Yue put on disposable gloves and looked at Lin Jiao, who was clearly stunned. “Is it possible that it was love at first sight?”

“That’s unlikely.” Pei Yilan recalled. “Jiaojiao was only eighteen years old when she met him.”

When she was 18 years old, Pei Zhi was already 24.

“I was not eighteen yet.” Lin Jiao corrected her. “The day after you brought me to meet him was New Year’s Eve.”

“Underage? That’s indeed unlikely.”

“I think he fell in love with you when you were in university. Ask him when the time comes.”

“It’s rare to see someone so devoted.” Qian Yue fed her a piece of roasted potato. “Cherish it.”

Lin Jiao’s heart skipped a beat.

She chewed on the potato, her mind filled with thoughts of the past, but she could not find any evidence that he was in love with her.

Before she could go deeper into her memory, she was interrupted by Pei Yilan. “Did you do it with him?”

“No!”

“I don’t believe you.” Qian Yue pinched the tip of her red ear and deliberately teased, “Don’t be shy in front of us.”

Lin Jiao chewed on the duck palm. “During the period of time I lost my memory, he had always respected me.”

“That means all your previous plans failed.”

“Yes.” Her voice was as soft as a mosquito. If not for the fact that they were indoors, they would not have heard her clearly. “Let’s not talk about this.”

Seeing that she was embarrassed, Pei Yilan and Qian Yue looked at each other and tacitly stopped talking about this.

Gradually, half of the skewers and beer on the table were gone, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol

The cold wind hidden in the night slapped against the window.

“Jiaojiao.” Pei Yilan’s face was red from drinking, but she was still rational. “Do you like him?”

Did she like him?

Lin Jiao thought of the time when she was picked up by Pei Zhi every day. She was used to his tenderness, enjoyed his consideration, and allowed him to be intimate with her.

If it wasn’t a sign of love, what was it?

She let out a long breath. “I like him.” After thinking about it carefully, her answer was solemn. “I liked him before the accident happened.”

“It’s just as I thought.” Qian Yue did not look surprised. “Without having feelings for him as a premise, even if you lost your memory, you wouldn’t fall in love with him that quickly.”

“So what are your plans next?” Pei Yilan pinched her delicate cheek twice, bringing Lin Jiao back to her senses.

“I haven’t thought about it.”

“Do you have any concerns?”

“Not really.” Lin Jiao pursed her lips. “I just recovered yesterday and haven’t gotten used to it yet.”

Qian Yue understood how she felt.

She took two sips of beer. “Let him chase you for a while. You can consider it after you get used to it.”

“How long is a while?”

“It depends on you. Two or three days, maybe? You’ve slept together anyway.”

She was too direct.

Lin Jiao held back her embarrassment and listened to her suggestion.

In order to be prepared to go to the ‘battlefield’ tomorrow, Lin Jiao went to bed before midnight and fell asleep.

On the other side, one of the houses in Red Maple Forest was much quieter.

Without the woman in his arms, Pei Zhi could not sleep.

He leaned against the bed and looked at the chat history with Lin Jiao. He looked at it a few times, wanting to ease his longing, but he fell deeper and deeper into the memory.

The time spent with her here was too beautiful. It was so beautiful that it felt unreal.

While smoke lingered in the bedroom.

The ashtray on the table was filled with lit cigarettes. It was not until dawn that they were extinguished by a glass of water.

“Boss, did you not sleep last night?” Qu Shao realized that his eyes were dark .

“The blood clot is gone.”

“What blood… She’s back to normal?!”

“SHe recovered on Saturday.” Pei Zhi rubbed his eyebrows and was exhausted. “Buy me breakfast.”

“No wonder she’s not here,” Qu Shao muttered.

He stopped in front of the bakery and got into the car with a plastic bag in less than two minutes. “Boss, do you want to go over and pick her up?”

“She didn’t answer me.”

“She won’t see you?”

Pei Zhi’s lungs were in pain.

“She said she needs time to think about it.” He opened the bag of bread and took two bites expressionlessly.

“Do you think she can think it through?”

“Why not?”

Qu Shao pursed his lips and did not ask further.

He drove to Sheng Heng. When they arrived at the CEO’s office on the top floor, he asked with concern, “Why don’t you sleep first?”

Pei Zhi took off his coat. “No need.”

He sat by the sofa and finished an hour and a half of the video conference. He drowsily flipped through the documents.

The densely packed words formed several black circles in front of him, urging him to sleep.

He flipped to the fifth page and his eyelids started to droop. No matter how hard he tried to keep it open, he could not resist the surging sleepiness.

“Boss…” Qu Shao realized that he had fallen asleep and let out a long sigh.

He took out a blanket from the lounge and was about to cover him with it when something flashed across his mind that made him stop in his tracks.

Wild Cricket: “Miss Lin, do you have time to come up? The boss didn’t sleep all night yesterday and seems to have fainted.”

Five minutes passed, but the other party still did not reply.

Just as he was about to give up, he heard footsteps approaching.

Lin Jiao pushed open the door. “How is he?” Her breathing was ragged, and there was still panic in her eyes. She clearly cared about him.

“I was mistaken.” Qu Shao frowned in frustration. Afraid of disturbing Pei Zhi’s sleep, he lowered his voice. “Boss is just asleep.”
