Chapter 149 Chase her well once
Wen Ci frowned and shook off Xie Peizhou's hand, "Why don't you refute it?"
Xie Peizhou: "..."
Half an hour later, Wen Ci awkwardly hung up the video call with Xie Yiyi.
From the oral accounts of Xie Yiyi and Lu Bingchen, it was indeed she who took the initiative to seduce Xie Peizhou, and Xie Peizhou rejected her many times. He even cruelly drove her abroad in order to "correct" her mistakes.
But what neither of them expected was that she became pregnant at once, and gave birth to a daughter alone without Xie Peizhou's knowledge. She was also worried that Xie Peizhou would find out, so she refused to return to China for five years.
Later, she returned to China and kept her daughter's identity a secret until Xie Peizhou's birthday a few days ago, when she let down her guard and prepared to tell Xie Peizhou the truth.
However, she had a car accident on her birthday and forgot everything.
I also forgot the entanglement of nearly five or six years.
"Is this the reason why you've been avoiding me since you woke up, and even refused to look me in the eye?"
Wen Ci touched her nose guiltily and nodded slowly.
Xie Peizhou felt as if his heart was tugged at by something. Before being discharged from the hospital, Wen Ci was consulted by many experts. Considering that she had suffered head injuries in two car accidents and her hippocampus was damaged, the possibility of recovering all her memories was very slim.
No one understood the torment and pain he had been going through in the past few days. The person he loved deeply suddenly lost all memories of their love, and looked at him every day with confused and wary eyes, looking at strangers.
All the love goes unrequited.
It was as if all the previous love was just a beautiful dream he had.
Xie Peizhou felt as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in his throat.
"I'm sorry, Xie Peizhou..."
Wen Ci noticed the man's sadness and there was a deep sense of apology in his eyes.
"Aci, it's not your fault."
"It's better to forget. You have endured too much pain and hurt in those past memories." Xie Peizhou thought with a smile. In those previous memories, there was much more pain than happiness.
Wen Ci has been pursuing her for so many years, and now it is his turn to pursue her properly.
"Aci, let's start over."
"Hmm?" Wen Ci looked at him confusedly, not sure where to start his "restart".
Xie Peizhou extended his hand towards her. "Hello, my name is Xie Peizhou. I'm 34 years old, 187cm tall, and weigh 70kg. I like running, fitness exercises, and calligraphy. I can cook Western food, and my steak and pasta are both delicious..."
It really is starting over again.
Wen Ci picked out a point from his self-introduction, "Can you cook?"
According to her observations over the past three days, Xie Peizhou, as the president of the Xie Group, is so busy with his work, how could he still have time to cook for himself?
Xie Peizhou smiled thinly and said, "Yes, I can. The day after tomorrow, the weekend, I'll cook for you to try. How about it?"
Wen Ci swallowed awkwardly, "Actually, I'm a little hungry now."
In the early morning, the entire Yu Shui Bay was quiet.
Wen Niannian had already fallen asleep.
Aunt Zhou slept on the first floor and was a light sleeper. She vaguely heard a "sizzling" sound and was worried that a thief might have broken in to steal things, so she picked up the broom by the bedroom wall and carefully pushed open the door.
The light was on in the half-open kitchen.
The aroma of steak fried in butter wafted into my nose.
Aunt Zhou walked forward holding the broom, thinking, someone cooking in the kitchen in the middle of the night can't be a thief, right?
Taking two more steps forward, she saw Xie Peizhou wearing black pajamas and a pink apron, standing in front of the stove and flipping steak with tongs.
Wen Ci sat at the bar nearby, looking at him with her chin propped up.
The two chatted casually.
Aunt Zhou put down the broom, covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Without making any sound to disturb the two of them, she turned around and went back to her bedroom and closed the door.
"alright."
Not long after, Xie Peizhou put the steak on a plate and placed it on the dining table.
Wen Ci held the knife and fork, unsure how to use them.
Seeing this, Xie Peizhou took off his apron, walked around her and reached out. His big, bony hands grasped Wen Ci's hands, which were holding the knife and fork. He arched his back slightly, and placed his thin lips next to her ear, "I'll teach you."
Two folded hands holding a knife and fork, cutting the fragrant and juicy steak on the white plate.
Soon, the steak was cut into pieces of easy-to-eat size.
Wen Ci ate a piece with a fork, her eyes sparkling with delight. "It's really delicious!"
Xie Peizhou smiled, walked away from her, walked around to the opposite side of the table, and sat down face to face with her. "Aci, I'm not only good at making fried steak, I actually have many other advantages. Do you want to get to know me more deeply and comprehensively?"
Wen Ci looked into his tender black eyes. Maybe it was because the steak was so delicious or for some other reason, but this time she didn't avoid him but nodded.
Tomorrow is Friday, and Xie Peizhou still has to go to work.
After having supper, the two went back to the bedroom.
Wen Ci washed up again, felt full, and fell asleep in bed after a while.
In a daze, she felt someone holding her waist and then being pulled into a warm embrace.
Wen Ci was still conscious and could feel that it was Xie Peizhou who was holding her.
But her limbs seemed to be filled with water, soft and weak like seaweed, and she was too lazy to push him away.
Before she completely lost consciousness, Wen Ci felt as if Xie Peizhou had kissed her on the lips.
So sleepy...
Forget it, just kiss her, it’s not like you’re losing any more meat.
The next morning, Wen Ci slept until she woke up naturally.
He just sat up by supporting himself on the bed and subconsciously touched his lips.
"Aci, good morning."
The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Xie Peizhou came out after washing up in a white shirt. Seeing Wen Ci's fingertips on her lips, her dark eyes flashed with guilt, "Did I wake you up?"
Wen Ci looked at his good figure outlined by his suit and shirt, and was stunned. Then she shook her head, not sure for a moment whether she was dreaming or Xie Peizhou really kissed her.
A few minutes later, the two came out of the bedroom together.
Before Wen Niannian got up, Wen Ci went upstairs to call her daughter.
The three of them sat at the dining table and had breakfast in a harmonious atmosphere.
Then, Xie Peizhou and Wen Niannian went out together, those who should go to school went to school, and those who should go to work went to work.
Wen Ci watched the two men leave at the villa door.
In the car, Wen Niannian looked through the rearview mirror at her father who was concentrating on driving in front of her, "Dad, I feel like your relationship with Mommy seems to have improved today."
Xie Peizhou curled his lips, "Is there?"
The old saying is true: if you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach.
-
Time goes by day by day.
Wen Ci has been suffering from amnesia for two months. Xie Peizhou has spent a lot of money to invite many experts in related fields to treat Wen Ci, but unfortunately the results have been minimal.
Until now, none of my memories before amnesia have been recovered.
Although his memory has not improved, Wen Ci has a strong ability to re-acquire knowledge and skills. In two months, with the help of the crew, he gradually became competent for the work of director again.
In life, I gradually became familiar with the people around me and re-established relationships.
Especially Xie Peizhou, who slept in the same bed with her every night.
When she just woke up from her amnesia, Wen Ci thought that Xie Peizhou was an old man who was "an old cow eating young grass" and took advantage of her youth and ignorance to coax her into giving birth to a daughter; later she gradually discovered that this "old man" was very gentle, very gentlemanly, and very good at taking care of her.
And he showed extreme favoritism and indulgence to her.
No matter what she wanted to do, Xie Peizhou would say, "Okay." "Okay." "I support you."
A highly educated, wealthy and emotionally stable "daddy-like boyfriend".
Wen Ci got along well with him, except that every night, Xie Peizhou would secretly kiss her while she was "asleep".
Several times, while kissing each other, they would lift the quilt, get out of bed and go to the bathroom to take a shower.
The shower head was making a crackling sound and it would last for more than half an hour once it was turned on.
-
In the past two months, the financial daily reports have almost always been about the Lu Group's continued poor operating conditions and its impending bankruptcy.
Lu Zhizhang has become much thinner and more decadent. He is in his thirties but has white hair, which makes many people in the circle sigh.
But it's just a sigh.
Xie Peizhou is a man of his word. As long as Wen Ci is not doing well, he will never let up on suppressing the Lu family. Who would be willing to step forward and get involved?
In a certain apartment, at dinner time, the crying sound of a woman being beaten and scolded was heard again from upstairs.
The residents downstairs frowned and had no idea what to do. They reported the situation to the property management several times, but the man upstairs still abused his wife on time.
Su Yuan was pushed to the ground, and a pot of boiling corn and pork ribs soup spilled all over her calves, which were burned red and covered with blisters.
"Bitch, you still have the nerve to cry!"
Lu Zhizhang kicked her burn wound in disgust. "If you hadn't hit Wen Ci, would Xie Peizhou have targeted the Lu family like this? Now, let alone redeeming the old house, if we can't find a way to raise funds to run the project, the Lu family will go bankrupt!"
"It's all your fault, bitch. You still want to escape? I'm going to break your legs today!"
Lu Zhizhang kicked Su Yuan several times in anger.
The love we once had has become worthless in the face of the cruel and naked economic reality.
Or perhaps it could be said that the person Lu Zhizhang loves most is just himself.
Su Yuan's scalp tingled with pain. She curled up, hugging her emaciated body and crying. From a perspective that Lu Zhizhang and the Lu family's parents couldn't see, her tears flashed with a hint of deadly hatred...
It's two o'clock in the morning and everything is quiet.
The only sound in the apartment was the Lu family's snoring.
Su Yuan went barefoot and silently locked all the doors and windows and turned on the gas in the kitchen.
Die, then go to hell!
At three o'clock in the morning, a fire broke out in a high-end residential area. Firefighters rushed to the scene, but because it was a mid- to high-rise building, it took nearly an hour and a half to put out the fire.
The video of the raging fire instantly became a hot topic.
Since it was Saturday, it was already noon when Lu Bingchen and Xie Yiyi saw the news, and the popularity of the news had dropped a lot.
According to the police's final report, "A fire broke out late at night in the XX residential complex, and Ms. Su Yuan fell to her death that night. The investigation revealed that Su Yuan deliberately started the fire, locking the doors and windows and turning on the gas, intending to burn her husband and his family of three, before committing suicide by jumping from the building."
Although the fire was serious, when it first broke out, Lu's mother happened to wake up and go to the bathroom. When she noticed something was wrong, she immediately called her husband and son. The three of them fled the apartment in an emergency and were not seriously injured.
Lu Bingchen and Xie Yiyi were both shocked when they saw the news.
Xie Yiyi looked at Lu Bingchen, "Are you okay?"
Lu Bingchen exited Weibo, smiled and pinched her cheek, "I have no relationship with the Lu family for a long time, it's just a little unexpected."
Xie Yiyi also pinched his face and could feel that Lu Bingchen was a little depressed.
She didn't say anything, hugged him, got up to wash up, and left Lu Bingchen some private space.
Although she doesn't like Su Yuan and hates the Lu family.
But from a human perspective, it is also a living life.
When Xie Yiyi came out of the bathroom after washing up, Lu Bingchen's mood had recovered.
He hugged Xie Yiyi's slender waist from behind and kissed her fair butterfly bone, "Wife, it's been a long time since we got the marriage certificate. When are we going to have the wedding?"
Xie Yiyi didn't even think about it, "Didn't we agree on this before? After Xiaoci and my uncle get married, we'll do it together."
Lu Bingchen uttered an "Ah" and sighed, "Wen Ci has completely lost her memory now, and Pei Zhou has even postponed his proposal. How long do we have to wait for them?"
"I don't think it will take long! Look, it's only been two months. Although Xiaoci's memory hasn't recovered, she's already been able to do her previous job again. Her relationship with her uncle is also slowly blossoming. I believe Xiaoci will fall in love with her uncle again soon!"
Xie Yiyi said firmly, "Xiaoci and I have agreed that from school uniforms to wedding dresses, we must hold the wedding together."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
-
A film crew deep in the Changbai Mountains.
"Director Wen, are you okay?"
Assistant Xiao Liu brought her a bottle of water. Looking at Wen Ci's gradually pale lips, concern flashed in his eyes, "How about we go to the town and find a clinic?"
Wen Ci unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water. It was very cold.
She screwed the bottle cap back on and set it aside, frowning as she watched the footage on the monitor. Unsatisfied, she said, "Go get the second female lead. This part isn't working. We need to reshoot it."
"Director Wen, but you look so pale."
Xiao Liu repeated worriedly.
Wen Ci took a deep breath and insisted, "It's okay, let's finish the filming and leave here as soon as possible."
A week ago, a new script started filming, this time it was a martial arts comedy.
Part of the filming was done in the deep mountains and forests of Changbai Mountain, where the infrastructure was very poor, transportation was inconvenient, and supplies were scarce.
Their filming location was more than four hours' drive from the nearest small town.
Everyone wanted to finish filming and leave as quickly as possible.
To make matters worse, Wen Ci got her period, and she was not used to the local climate and had rare menstrual pain.
Xiao Liu was filled with admiration when he saw Wen Ci, who had pale lips but could still talk to the second female lead in a logical and logical manner. Director Wen was really tenacious.
After finishing the story, Wen Ci took the intercom and said, "All departments, get ready for the reshoot. Three, two, one, get ready to start."
We filmed for more than two hours.
It's lunchtime.
Wen Ci had a stomachache and had no appetite for lunch, so she closed her eyes and rested on a camp chair in the small room of the monitoring room.
She was dazed and felt someone appear beside her, and a warm big hand pressed against her forehead which was covered with cold sweat.
Wen Ci's eyelashes moved, thinking it was the assistant Xiao Liu. She opened her eyes and saw a cold and familiar handsome face in the hazy view.
"Xie Peizhou?"
Wen Ci was weak and thought she was dreaming.
Xie Peizhou hummed, his voice gentle, "Did I wake you up?"
Wen Ci finally sat up, realizing it wasn't a dream. "Didn't you say you were on a business trip? Why are you here on set?!"
Xie Peizhou didn't answer her. Instead, he took out a box of ibuprofen from his bag, pinched out a pill and fed it to her lips. With his other hand, he unscrewed a thermos and put the steaming bottle into her palm. "I heard from Xiao Liu that you didn't even eat because of your period pain. Take the medicine first."
Wen Ci held the pill in her mouth and blew away the hot air from the thermos. The scent of ginger, jujube and brown sugar water entered her nostrils, which smelled very pleasant.
The hot water went in and I breathed in, and my lower abdomen didn’t seem to hurt as much.
Wen Ci tilted her head back, took a sip, and swallowed the ibuprofen.
A stream of brown sugar water with ginger and jujube flowed from her mouth all the way to her lower abdomen, and Wen Ci felt warm all over.
My heart feels like it is being wrapped in a pair of warm hands, so warm.
After drinking half a cup of brown sugar water, Wen Ci regained some strength and expressed her gratitude and welcome for his visit. "You didn't tell me just now, but didn't you say you were going on a business trip in the WeChat message yesterday? Why are you here on the set today?"
Seeing that she was no longer so listless, Xie Peizhou's worry gradually dissipated from his dark eyes. He smiled thinly, "I sent you a message this morning but you didn't reply. Xiao Liu said you had period pain. I knew you didn't bring any medicine, so I came over to give you some since I was passing by on a business trip."
Wen Ci's heart beat wildly.
It’s a three or four hour bumpy drive from here to the nearby towns.
Is he passing by on a business trip?
Are you going to discuss the project with Zhang Qiling?
