Chapter 208: Let’s end it
Xie Zhaoyuan got up from the bed, walked around the crib and went to Pei Lingxuan.
"Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought it through." Pei Lingxuan looked at her, her eyes calm and unmoved. "I've been acting with him for several months, and I'm sick of him. Now that he's got me, I should get out of here in time and kick him away."
"Yes." Xie Zhaoyuan nodded, "Xiaoxuan, you have worked hard during this period. After tonight, you can be completely free."
"Huh..." Pei Lingxuan let out a deep breath. Thinking of her forbearance during this period, she couldn't help but clench her fist and sneer.
"I have already written my resignation letter. Once I am done with the job, I will submit it and then go home and sleep soundly for three days and three nights!"
"Humph," Xie Zhaoyuan smiled slightly, "Don't you have to submit your resignation application one month after it's been submitted? If you submit it tonight and go on strike tomorrow, aren't you afraid that the company will deduct your salary?"
"Tsk," Pei Lingxuan rolled her eyes, her face full of disdain, "Just deduct it if you want. The money Zhou Limin has spent on me during this period is enough to cover my salary for half a year. I won't lose anything anyway."
Xie Zhaoyuan smiled and blinked: "Well, as long as there is no loss."
Pei Lingxuan reached out and picked up the bag beside her, and finally teased the kid in the crib.
"Goodbye, sister-in-law."
After saying this, she turned and left.
"Xiaoxuan!" Xie Zhaoyuan suddenly called her.
She looked back blankly: "What's wrong?"
Xie Zhaoyuan walked forward slowly, opened his arms and gently embraced her: "Xiaoxuan, thank you."
"...Thank me for what?" Pei Lingxuan didn't know where this "thank you" came from, but she subconsciously raised her hands and hugged Xie Zhaoyuan.
Xie Zhaoyuan patted her shoulder and said softly, "Thank you for helping me take care of Xiang Xiang, thank you for believing in me, and thank you for making such a sacrifice for your brother."
"It's my duty." Pei Lingxuan smiled. "You are all my family. It's my duty to make some sacrifices for my family. Just like you, my brother, and our mother, you have made many sacrifices for me."
"Yeah." Xie Zhaoyuan let go of her and tidied up her messy hair. "Go, Xiaoxuan, put an end to him once and for all."
Pei Lingxuan: "Okay."
Zhou Liming's car was already waiting at the entrance of the villa. As soon as Pei Lingxuan came out of the villa, Zhou Liming's assistant got out of the car immediately and respectfully opened the back door for her.
"Thank you." She smiled at her assistant and leaned over to get into the car.
“Bang!”
The car door closed, and the Maybach quickly left the Xie family and drove towards the center of Yuncheng.
The restaurant Zhou Limin booked was in the most prosperous commercial center of Yuncheng. When Pei Lingxuan arrived, Zhou Limin had already ordered the dishes.
"Xiaoxuan." As soon as Pei Lingxuan entered the restaurant, Zhou Liming couldn't wait to get up from his chair and walked to the door to greet her.
"Mr. Zhou." She greeted him politely yet distantly.
Zhou Limin naturally held her hand and said in a somewhat reproachful tone, "You still call me Mr. Zhou?"
Pei Lingxuan smiled perfunctorily and said nothing.
Zhou Limin brought her to the dining table, pulled out a chair for her like a gentleman, and said softly, "Xiaoxuan, sit down."
Pei Lingxuan put her bag on the table and sat down obediently.
Zhou Liming touched her head lovingly, then walked over and sat down opposite her.
It is already winter in Yuncheng. Although it has not snowed yet, the air is really freezing. In order to keep warm, Pei Lingxuan wore a thick beige coat, and a snowy white wool turtleneck sweater inside the coat.
She has very fair skin, and this outfit makes her skin look even whiter than snow. Her seaweed-like long hair was casually spread out. After sitting down, she subconsciously tidied her hair, revealing the sapphire necklace on her neck.
Zhou Limin sat upright on the chair, looking at her with a dazed look. After a moment, he said ambiguously, "Xiaoxuan, you look really good today."
"Humph," Pei Lingxuan laughed with an ambiguous tone, "Do I only look good today?"
"Of course not!" Zhou Limin stared at her face, his eyes showing no affection at all, "Xiaoxuan is always beautiful. But for me, the most beautiful one is today, and..."
"Anything else?" Pei Lingxuan raised her eyebrows, a little curious.
Zhou Liming curled the corners of his lips, his eyes were vague, as if he was recalling something.
Pei Lingxuan did not urge him. She just sat there quietly, waiting for him to slowly recall the past.
"...and the day I first saw you." After a long while, he spoke slowly.
Pei Lingxuan frowned slightly: "The day you first saw me? I have forgotten what I looked like that day."
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Limin shrugged, "I just remember it."
"..." Pei Lingxuan pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly and did not respond to Zhou Liming's words.
Zhou Limin was planning to confess his feelings to her, so every word he said was highly suggestive. She hated such insinuations, and after acting with him for a while she didn't want to continue.
But he hadn't noticed that Pei Lingxuan was in a bad mood tonight, and there was still a confident and complacent smile on her face.
"I simply ordered a few dishes. See if there is anything you want to add." He handed the menu to Pei Lingxuan and said in an excited tone.
Pei Lingxuan took the menu, flipped through a few pages, and then directly ordered two of the most expensive signature dishes.
Zhou Limin took a look at the dishes she ordered and said in surprise, "These two dishes are both sweet and sour. Don't you dislike sour food?"
Pei Lingxuan raised her chin proudly: "I have to give it a try. What if I like it after trying it?"
"...That's right." Zhou Limin nodded and handed the menu to the waiter. "That's all."
"Okay." The waiter walked away with the menu, and after a while, the first dish came up.
Pei Lingxuan hadn't eaten lunch, and her stomach was already growling with hunger. As soon as the food came, she picked up the bowl and started eating, completely ignoring Zhou Liming's hesitation to speak.
Zhou Liming seemed to have something to say, but because Pei Lingxuan was too focused on eating, he didn't find the opportunity to speak several times.
"Xiaoxuan, are you hungry?" He picked up a piece of fish for Pei Lingxuan and asked jokingly.
Pei Lingxuan was eating with her bowl in hand. Upon hearing this, she said quickly, "I'm hungry. I haven't had lunch yet."
"Ah..." Zhou Limin's concern faded a little, and he simply gave up the idea of speaking, "You haven't eaten for so long, you must be starving."
"Yeah." Pei Lingxuan responded to him casually.
He smiled helplessly and had to eat quietly.
After Pei Lingxuan had eaten her fill, he finally found the opportunity to speak.
"Xiaoxuan." He took out a black jewelry box from his coat and placed it in front of Pei Lingxuan.
"Can we both consider changing our relationship?"
