Chapter 102: Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth
Late at night, a taxi stopped downstairs of Mind Harbor Clinic. Wen Ci opened the door and hurriedly got out with her daughter.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I heard Xie Yiyi's urgent voice, "Uncle, what are you doing? Stop hitting me. What's wrong with Lu Bingchen and I being together? We're not married, and we're both willing. Why can't we go on a date together?!"
"Shut up!"
Xie Peizhou scolded coldly, "Xie Yiyi, he is my brother, nearly ten years older than you... And you, Lu Bingchen, I regard you as my best brother, and you attacked my own niece, do you even regard me as a brother?!"
"Uncle!"
Xie Yiyi's voice became more and more urgent.
Wen Ci felt unwell, so she grabbed her daughter's hand and ran quickly towards the clinic.
When he opened the door, the first thing that came into view was Xie Peizhou's cold back. Xie Yiyi was standing in front of him, and behind him, Lu Bingchen, who had always been gentle and clean, now had a bruised face and was even bleeding from his nose.
Xie Yiyi's eyes were red and she said aggrievedly, "What are you doing? I've already told you that we're in a relationship that was consensual. Why did you get angry and hit him? I'm your niece and he's your friend, so what? We're not related by blood... Besides, don't you like Xiaoci too? Xiaoci is my best friend. You're being unreasonable and wanton! "
"Thank you Yiyi!"
Xie Peizhou became increasingly cold.
Wen Ci's breathing tightened, and she felt something was wrong. She immediately let go of her daughter and stepped forward to grab Xie Peizhou's arm, which was about to be raised, and held it tightly. "Xie Peizhou, calm down first. If you have something to say, tell me slowly!"
"Wen Ci?"
Xie Peizhou's body didn't stiffen, he turned his head and saw Wen Ci's nervous little face.
He frowned, and the coldness around him warmed up a little. He turned his head and glared at Xie Yiyi coldly.
You can tell what's going on at a glance.
Wen Ci soothed him, "It's already happened. Fighting and arguing won't solve the problem. It's better to calm down and think of a solution."
When Xie Yiyi saw Xie Peizhou fall silent after Wen Ci's few words, his heart, which had been hanging in his throat, slowly fell back into his stomach. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Ci arrived in time.
"Xie Yiyi, follow me!"
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Xie Peizhou's cold voice reached her ears again.
Her back tingled.
Although Xie Peizhou has always doted on her, he never shows mercy when educating her seriously.
Xie Yiyi glanced at Wen Ci with a look of help, looked at Xie Peizhou's cold back as he walked towards another clinic, and followed him silently.
"Uncle Lu, are you okay?"
After Xie Peizhou took Xie Yiyi to the next clinic for a private chat, only Wen Ci and her daughter and the embarrassed Lu Bingchen were left in the office.
Wen Ci looked at his bruised face and said kindly, "How about I help you treat the wound first?"
Lu Bingchen raised his head, crumpled up a piece of tissue and stuffed it into his bleeding nostril, then smiled at Wen Ci and her daughter with a casual and good attitude, "It's okay, it's not a problem."
"Niannian, Grandpa Lu has White Rabbit milk candy."
Lu Bingchen could even take out a few White Rabbit milk candies from his office drawer to amuse Wen Niannian.
It was the first time Wen Niannian had seen such a scene. She grabbed her mother's hand, hid behind her and shook her head, "Thank you, but I brushed my teeth."
"Well, you can't eat candy after brushing your teeth, or you'll get cavities."
Lu Bingchen laughed, looked at Wen Niannian with praise, and then put the candy back into the drawer.
More than ten minutes later, Xie Yiyi walked out of the clinic next door and looked at Lu Bingchen, "It's your turn."
Lu Bingchen nodded, stepped aside from her, walked into the clinic, and closed the door behind him.
Since it is a psychological clinic, the sound insulation of each room is very good. After closing the door, you can hardly hear any movement.
Wen Ci worriedly held Xie Yiyi's hand, "Are you okay? Did your uncle criticize you? What did he say to you?"
Xie Yiyi sighed, "Well, who knew he would come to the clinic so late, and just happened to see Lu Bingchen and I in the office..."
Considering that there were minors present, Xie Yiyi replaced some of the content with silence.
"He asked me when I started getting together with Lu Bingchen, and I could only tell him the truth. Lu Bingchen was drugged before, and I happened to see him, and then we got together."
"He also asked me if I liked Lu Bingchen."
Wen Ci blinked and glanced at the closed door. "So what did you answer?"
Xie Yiyi sighed, "How else can I answer? Of course I say I like you. If I say I don't like you, won't my uncle kill Lu Bingchen? Even if I say I don't like you, he won't believe it now."
Wen Ci asked curiously, "So, deep down, how do you feel about Uncle Lu?"
Xie Yiyi met Wen Ci's curious gaze, his eyes flickering. He let go of Wen Ci's hand and leaned slightly to the side. "Haven't you asked this question before?"
Wen Ci turned her body and looked into her eyes, "Last time was last time, now is now, how do you feel about Lu Bingchen now?"
Xie Yiyi's heart started beating wildly for no reason.
After being silent for nearly half a minute, Xie Yiyi opened his mouth and was about to speak.
The door of the next-door clinic was pushed open. The two looked in the direction of the sound. Lu Bingchen still walked out with a bruised face. His dark eyes looked straight at Xie Yiyi calmly and said, "Xie Yiyi, will you marry me?"
The moment the words fell, the three women present widened their eyes.
marry?
Is Lu Bingchen proposing to Xie Yiyi? !
Xie Yiyi's body stiffened, his mouth open in shock, his heartbeat erratic. He opened his mouth and looked at Lu Bingchen in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Lu Bingchen walked over, his dark eyes helpless, and repeated, "Xie Yiyi, if you are willing, I will marry you."
Xie Yiyi's lips trembled slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes, "What do you mean if I agree, you will marry me?"
"If you don't want to, then break up with him completely. Your father has arranged a marriage for you. It's with the second son of the Cartier brand you worked with while working in Norway. Your parents are very happy with him. Try to get along with him and see how he does."
Xie Yiyi frowned and looked at Xie Peizhou who was standing behind Lu Bingchen. "Uncle, didn't you say that you wouldn't allow me to have an arranged marriage? You said it's up to me whether I get married or not?"
Xie Peizhou's dark eyes darkened, "Just because I let you do what you want, you act recklessly!"
"I'll give you three days to think about it. If you don't want to marry Lu Bingchen, then you can date the person I arranged for you to marry. Otherwise, I will tell your parents everything."
"Uncle!"
Xie Yiyi was dissatisfied.
But at this moment, Xie Peizhou ignored her emotions completely. He walked to Wen Ci, bent down and held his daughter in his arms, frowning slightly, "You come out wearing so little, aren't you afraid of catching a cold or getting sick?"
"Let's go."
Xie Peizhou gently gestured for Wen Ci to leave.
Wen Ci glanced at Xie Yiyi, who was pouting and angry, and didn't dare to speak at this moment. She walked forward silently.
Xie Peizhou walked behind with his daughter in his arms. When they reached the door, the man stopped and said in a deep voice, "Xie Yiyi, why don't you come over here?"
Xie Yiyi in the office snorted, but followed obediently.
Her pink Maserati was parked on the side of the road, but when she met Xie Peizhou's cold gaze, Xie Yiyi didn't dare to touch her car at all. She obediently opened the other door of the Maybach and sat next to Nian Nian.
She also looked at Wen Niannian, as if to say, your father is a real murderer!
It was crowded with three people sitting in the back seat. Xie Peizhou opened the passenger door and used his long arms to block the eaves of the car, signaling her to get in quickly as it was cold outside.
Wen Ci looked at him, bent down and got into the passenger seat.
The atmosphere in the car was weird and no one spoke.
Xie Peizhou didn't turn on the navigation, and Wen Ci gradually realized that the route didn't seem to be back to the apartment, but back to Yu Shui Bay.
But at this moment, she didn't dare to say it.
More than half an hour later, the Maybach drove smoothly into the yard of the Yu Shuiwan Villa.
Xie Peizhou turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt, and said, "Get out of the car."
Wen Ci looked at Xie Yiyi through the rearview mirror. They were silent for a moment, then lowered their heads to unbuckle their seat belts and got out of the car.
Wen Niannian was here for the first time and was very curious, "Mommy, where is this place?"
Xie Peizhou was worried about his daughter being cold, so he wrapped her tightly in his windbreaker and answered before Wen Ci could. "This is your home too. Your mom used to live here. This house is very big. If it snows heavily in a few days, we can build many snowmen in the yard. Nian Nian, do you want to live here?"
Wen Niannian's eyes lit up. She really wanted to build a beautiful snowman.
It snowed some time ago, but the downstairs in the community is a shared place for all residents. When she woke up, the snowman on the grass had almost been played with by other children. In the end, she and Wen Ci only made a mini snowman the size of a fist, which disappeared after a while.
"Okay, okay, Mommy, shall we move in here?"
The cold wind made Wen Ci's cheeks slightly red. Meeting her daughter's excited and expectant gaze, she pursed her cold lips and nodded softly.
Aunt Zhou arranges for the cleaning staff to clean the room in Yu Shui Wan once a week.
You can move in at any time.
Worried that her daughter would catch a cold, Wen Ci gave her a hot bath, then wrapped her in the pajamas she wore when studying in the closet, carried her to the soft bed, and told her a story to put her to sleep.
"Sleep, sleep, Snow White fell into a wonderful dream..."
The daughter's breathing gradually became steady, and Wen Ci's hands patting her chest became lighter and lighter, with smaller and smaller amplitudes.
Wen Ci got out of bed carefully, put on her slippers and went to Xie Yiyi's bedroom next door.
As soon as she entered, Xie Yiyi, with a worried look on her face, hugged her and said, "Xiao Ci, you have to help me. I don't want to marry Lu Bingchen, nor do I want to marry that second young master of the jewelry industry. My uncle is so cruel. Right now, you are the only one who can help me..."
Half an hour later, Wen Ci went downstairs under Xie Yiyi's pleading gaze and walked to the door of Xie Peizhou's bedroom.
She looked at the closed door, her heart beating wildly, and raised her arm to knock on the door.
Xie Peizhou's low voice came from inside the door, "Come in, it's not locked."
Wen Ci was stunned. Why did she have the illusion that Xie Peizhou was waiting for her to fall into the tiger's mouth?
Although she was nervous, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in for the sake of thanking Yiyi.
