Chapter 89 Uncle, I have another secret...
"Thank you for your help."
Xie Peizhou nodded coldly at the nurse and stepped into the ward.
Wen Ci leaned against the bed, her cold little face showing a sickly paleness, with circles of white bandages tied around her forehead, looking thin and frail.
Xie Peizhou's eyes were filled with deep guilt and pity once again.
He walked to the bedside, bent down and sat down, and heard Wen Ci's somewhat soft voice: "Xie Peizhou, let's try again."
Xie Peizhou's movements froze, and when his brain realized what she meant, it was like a tiny electric current spreading through his body.
His black eyes sparkled brightly, and he excitedly held Wen Ci's small hand. The usually calm and composed man became incoherent, "Aci, okay...Aci, thank you for giving me another chance, I will definitely cherish it."
Wen Ci's hand was held very tightly by him, and she could feel the hot sweat on his palm and the trembling of her little hand.
Looking at his cold and deep eyes, they were full of joy and excitement, but also contained a deep sense of indebtedness and cherishment.
Wen Ci pursed her lips and suppressed the strong warning in her heart: "Xie Peizhou will never like you. He is owed and making up for it. Do you want to repeat the same mistakes and get hurt all over?" She took a breath and tried to smile on her pale face.
Be brave again, for yourself and for your daughter.
…
The cold moonlight poured into the ward.
Xie Peizhou held Wen Ci in his arms carefully and as if she were a treasure.
Wen Ci pressed against his heart-beating chest, and her breath was filled with the cool fragrance of cedar.
Once, she just wanted to get a little closer, but would be rejected thousands of miles away. Now, she is embraced in the arms of truth.
Wen Ci felt it was unreal, like a dream.
When she woke up from the dream, Xie Peizhou would push her away with a cold look, his eyes filled with disgust, "Wen Ci, stay away from my life, how could I fall in love with you and be with you?"
"What's wrong?"
Xie Peizhou felt the person in his arms tremble slightly, and observed her with care and anxiety, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Is your head hurting again? I'll go call a doctor for you!"
Wen Ci's face turned pale. She gently tugged at his sleeve and shook her head, "It's okay."
Xie Peizhou was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low, serious voice, "Aci, I did something wrong back then. I forced you to go abroad, not because I really disliked you or hated you, but because I was afraid you would regret it in the future. In fact, from the first time I saw you, I liked you very much. I thought you were cute and beautiful."
Wen Ci was stunned for a moment and felt surprised.
"Shouldn't the first time you met me be on that rainy night at the resort?"
That night, she was drenched by the heavy rain, covered in mud and water, and crying almost to the point of collapse. How could Xie Peizhou think she was cute and beautiful?
Xie Peizhou curved his thin lips and said softly, "That wasn't the first time I saw you."
He looked into her clear and puzzled eyes, and the scene of seeing Wen Ci for the first time seemed to reappear in front of him.
"That year, you were about the same age as Nian Nian. You were wearing a pretty little dress and playing with a kite in the Wen family's back garden. The kite string broke, and the kite got stuck on a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard. You jumped and jumped with all your might, your pigtails bouncing with you, but your short little hands couldn't reach the kite on the branch."
"Then you put your hands on your hips in anger, turned around, your fair face flushed red with anger, your eyes widened, and you shouted, 'Daddy'... I was standing behind you at the time and reached out to help you take down the kite."
Xie Peizhou couldn't help but smile, "You even winked at me shyly at that time, saying thank you brother and praising me for being so pretty."
There was confusion in Wen Ci's eyes.
She has no memory of this incident.
Did she meet Xie Peizhou when she was four or five years old?
She always thought that she first met Xie Peizhou when she was 10 years old. Xie Yiyi was caught by the teacher for copying her English homework and lied and refused to admit it, which made the teacher so angry that he called his parents.
Then during lunch break, Xie Peizhou came.
She has never liked taking naps since she was a child. When others were sleeping, she would stare out the window in a daze.
That day, she saw Xie Peizhou passing by the window outside the classroom. He was wearing a white shirt. Bright sunlight shone from his side, reflecting the lush green magnolia tree outside the classroom. At that moment, Xie Peizhou looked like a god in her eyes.
For the first time, she felt her heart beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest and pounce on him. It was also the first time she was amazed by a man. She didn't know that boys could be so handsome.
Later, her relationship with Xie Yiyi became better and better, which was actually due to him.
But she never had the chance to meet him.
Until that horrific rainy night, on the winding road of the holiday villa, she saw nothing but darkness before her eyes, and could not see her hand in front of her face. She felt that she was going to die and leave this world with her parents.
Suddenly a beam of light illuminated her eyes.
She saw the face that amazed her again.
He held her in his arms and pulled her back from the abyss of death, becoming the only salvation from her youthful nightmare.
During the five years she stayed at Xie's house, Xie Peizhou had always been very kind and caring towards her.
Until that rainy night five years ago, she was provoked to madness by Song Wanqing. She deliberately took advantage of Xie Peizhou's drinking to enter his bedroom and spent the night in absurdity.
Then, everything changed.
Xie Peizhou hated her so much that he didn't even want to look at her again. He used all means to force her to go abroad and stay away from his life.
After going abroad, she began the most independent, sad and painful five years of her life.
Fortunately, her daughter and Xie Yiyi were by her side.
Wen Ci was picky and talked a lot with Xie Peizhou, receiving countless guilty apologies from Xie Peizhou.
After this conversation, the relationship between the two became much closer.
During the days that Wen Ci was hospitalized, Xie Peizhou stayed in the ward almost every step of the way and did everything himself.
The nurse in charge of Wen Ci's daily care was envious. While Xie Peizhou was out buying dinner, she chatted with Wen Ci and said, "Miss Wen, your boyfriend is so nice to you. How long have you been together?"
At the door, Xie Peizhou was about to push the door open with his packed dinner in his hand. When he heard the nurse's words, he couldn't help but curl up his thin lips.
Before he pushed the door open, Wen Ci's calm voice rang out, "You misunderstood, he is not my boyfriend."
In an instant, Xie Peizhou's heart seemed to be tugged at.
The nurse was surprised. "Mr. Xie takes care of you every step of the way and treats you so well, but he's not your boyfriend?"
Wen Ci smiled: "She is the uncle of my best friend. When I was a child, my family had an accident and I lived in my best friend's house."
"So it turns out that love extends to everyone in the house. Mr. Xie must also treat you as his own niece. He's such a kind person."
The wound on her forehead was bandaged again. Wen Ci smiled gratefully and looked through the nurse's white eyes to see Xie Peizhou standing at the door.
The two looked at each other, and suddenly the atmosphere seemed to freeze, and no one spoke.
When the nurse put away the medical equipment and was about to leave, she saw Xie Peizhou standing at the door. Her eyes lit up, "Mr. Xie is back. Miss Wen is recovering well."
Xie Peizhou pursed his lips slightly, and walked in with the food in hand. "Okay, thank you for your help."
The nurse smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is what we should do. You really take care of the younger generation in every detail. It's great to have an uncle like you."
Xie Peizhou looked at Wen Ci with his deep black eyes, and curled his thin lips as much as possible in response.
Until the nurse left, he closed the door considerately.
"Uncle."
Wen Ci looked at him and spoke first, "Can we keep our relationship private and not tell anyone?"
Xie Peizhou felt a suffocating feeling in his heart instantly.
He looked at the caution and retreat in Wen Ci's eyes, and felt a dense gnawing feeling of guilt in his chest.
He understood that he had hurt her too deeply in the past, and she no longer felt safe with him, so she was ready to regret and leave at any time.
Xie Peizhou smiled gently, walked to the bedside, and set up a small table for her as usual, placing her favorite food in front of her. His dark eyes were gentle, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Whenever you want to make it public, we'll do that."
"Aci, don't feel guilty or sorry for me. I'm already very satisfied that you're willing to give me another chance."
Wen Ci looked at the tenderness and doting in Xie Peizhou's eyes. She was indeed prepared to escape at any time, just as Xie Peizhou had guessed.
I thought he would be angry and think that I was being spoiled and playing with his feelings.
But he accepted it so gently, gave her the initiative, and said he would do whatever she wanted.
Wen Ci suddenly felt a sense of security in her heart. She pursed her lips, glanced at the documents pressed on the bedside table, turned her head and looked at Xie Peizhou again, as if she had made up her mind.
"Uncle, I have a secret."
