Chapter 93 Daughter's Secret
The water was clear. Wen Ci shyly covered her chest with her hands. She was too embarrassed to look Xie Peizhou in the eye. Her eyelashes fluttered violently. "Can you please go out first? I need to take a shower..."
"Aci, isn't it too late to be shy now?"
Xie Peizhou half-knelt beside the bathtub, his voice low and magnetic with a smile, and Wen Cihong's red little face that was about to bleed automatically appeared in his mind.
Between his lips and teeth, trembling slightly.
Sensitive and reserved.
The man's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't help but think of five years ago. He really didn't know how much courage she mustered and how much she loved him that she dared to enter his bedroom alone late at night, given her reserved and shy personality.
Before he could feel happy, the next second, Xie Peizhou thought of his cold attitude towards her afterwards. His heart suddenly tightened, and he felt infinite guilt and regret.
Guilty black eyes looked at her flushed cheeks. Xie Peizhou was reluctant to tease her anymore. He touched her head and said softly, "Okay, then you take a shower first. We'll talk after you're done."
Wen Ci watched him turn and leave, and the latter considerately closed the bathroom door.
The image of Xie Peizhou kneeling between her legs appeared in her mind uncontrollably. Her face suddenly became warmer. She closed her eyes, held her breath and sank into the warm water.
Later I realized what Xie Peizhou had just done in this bathtub.
In the water, her breathing became rapid and disordered, her eyes suddenly opened, and she choked to the surface.
A worried man's voice came from the door immediately, "Aci, are you okay?"
Wen Ci closed her eyes in shame and anger, "...It's okay!"
…
Half an hour later, Wen Ci came out wrapped in the same hotel bathrobe as Xie Peizhou.
Xie Peizhou handed her a glass of warm water and said, "It's late. Are you staying here tonight?"
Wen Ci drank half a glass of water, moistened her throat, and shook her head to refuse. "No, I promised my daughter that I would go home tonight. If she wakes up in the middle of the night and doesn't see me, she will cry."
Xie Peizhou saw the determination in her eyes and understood the position of his daughter in her heart. He smiled bitterly in his heart and said softly, "Okay, I'll take you home."
Wen Ci said "hmm" and did not refuse.
Late at night, the Maybach was driving freely in the lane.
Wen Ci sat in the passenger seat, ostensibly looking at the gray street scene rapidly receding outside the window, but in fact, her mind was still replaying the scene of Xie Peizhou using his mouth and hands to "help her" over and over again.
“Zizi—”
The phone on the center console vibrates.
Xie Peizhou was driving intently. He saw her ears getting redder and redder through the rearview mirror. He raised his lips and asked, "Aci?"
Wen Ci's back stiffened slightly, not daring to look at him. She responded in a normal tone, "Hmm?"
Xie Peizhou suppressed his laughter and said, "Please help me check the message on my phone. It's inconvenient for me to drive."
Wen Ci then slowly turned around and picked up Xie Peizhou's phone. A WeChat message was displayed on the lock screen, and a password was required to view the specific content.
Before Wen Ci could speak, Xie Peizhou said, "The password is your birthday."
The man stared intently ahead, the light and shadow of the rapidly passing street lamps illuminating his flickering profile. He had deep brow bones, a straight nose, and a cold, noble, and steady aura.
Wen Ci didn't dare to think too much and asked softly, "Is it uppercase or lowercase?"
Xie Peizhou raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "What's the big and small case? My password is your birthday, 000101."
Wen Ci tightened her grip on the phone, entered the number, and the phone unlocked instantly.
She had never touched Xie Peizhou's phone in private, and his desktop wallpaper was actually a photo of herself, and it was a photo of her sleeping face.
Her face flushed at first, then she frowned. "What an ugly photo... Why did you use my ugly photo as your desktop wallpaper? I don't remember having such a big white shirt."
Xie Peizhou was stunned for a moment. He had forgotten that the desktop wallpaper was a photo of Wen Ci.
Someone coughed awkwardly, "Because this is my clothes."
Wen Ci was stunned, "When did I wear your clothes?!"
"It's my first day back home." Xie Peizhou's Adam's apple rolled, and he met her gaze through the rearview mirror. "Have you forgotten that when I opened the door that day, you threw yourself into my arms, hugged me, kissed me, and nibbled me..."
Wen Ci suddenly came to her senses and realized that she had been drugged by Chen Sheng.
Wen Ci still doesn't know what happened after she fainted in Xie Peizhou's arms.
I woke up the next day without feeling any discomfort.
Did he really find her a very thin man?
Wen Ci opened her mouth but couldn't ask.
"Zizi" The phone vibrated again.
Wen Ci lowered her eyes and looked at it. "It was a message from Zhou She. It contained a video of tonight's celebration banquet hall, as well as information about the waiter who delivered the wine at the end. The waiter's name is Li Hai, he's 21 years old, a junior at the Beijing Fashion Art Institute. He's here tonight for a part-time job. He said he knew nothing and denied that he had drugged the wine."
Wen Ci enlarged Li Hai's photo and confirmed that she had met the boy in the photo for the first time tonight and they had no grudges against each other.
Obviously, he was instructed by someone.
Fashion Art Major?
Wen Ci clicked on the video and carefully observed Li Hai's movements that night. She found that about fifteen minutes before he gave her the wine, Li Hai nodded to "someone he knew" in the distance.
Unfortunately, the other person was standing in the blind spot of the surveillance camera, and only a glimpse of the white dress skirt and half of the tassel earring was captured.
Wen Ci seemed to have seen this earring before.
She took out her mobile phone and searched for "Song Wanqing" on Douyin. The first result was a video of her Light new product launch. In the video, she was wearing a white fishtail gauze dress and a pair of butterfly tassel earrings on her earlobes.
The Maybach slowly stopped at the entrance of the community.
Xie Peizhou parked the car and turned to look at her, his dark eyes cold. "Obviously, someone instructed Li Hai to give you the drug. If I hadn't rushed over, you would have drunk that glass of wine. I still remember when I picked up the wine, he gave me a panicked look and said, "This glass of wine is yours."
"Within three days, I will uncover the real culprit behind this and eliminate any future trouble."
Wen Ci returned the phone to him, a hint of temptation flashed across her cold eyes, "If the real murderer is related to Song Wanqing, will you let her go like last time?"
Wen Ci felt uneasy.
Between her and Song Wanqing, who does Xie Peizhou prefer?
During his hospitalization, Xie Peizhou swore to "cut off his offspring" and said that he had never had any relationship with Song Wanqing.
Wen Ci believed that he was not lying.
But it is generally acknowledged that he and Song Wanqing have a close relationship.
The two were college classmates. Song Wanqing was the only woman he had ever brought back to Yu Shui Bay. She was the girlfriend he personally admitted to when they held hands. She was also the "fiancée" he personally brought to Grandpa Xie before he passed away.
Wen Ci had suspected more than once that when Xie Peizhou accused her of not being able to distinguish between family affection and love, now, could Xie Peizhou also not be able to tell who he liked, her or Song Wanqing, with whom he had been entangled for many years?
Last time, Xie Peizhou helped Song Weiran, who plagiarized her script, escape three years in prison for Song Wanqing.
She has no position to care.
If he protected Song Wanqing again this time, she would be completely heartbroken.
