Chapter 111 You Never Have to Thank Me

Pei Jian had some superficial injuries, but they were not serious.

After leaving the clinic, Father Wen strongly invited Pei Jian to visit his home, "I am so grateful to you today, otherwise I would have suffered. It is the winter solstice, come and have fun with me."

Pei Jian was very sensible now, and was even more afraid of losing the goodwill he had worked so hard to build up, so he kept refusing:

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle. But today is winter, and I, an outsider, cannot come to your house. As for that scoundrel, please rest assured, uncle, I have the law to punish him and will never allow him to do evil again."

Upon hearing this, Nian Xi couldn't help but look at him.

The two looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

In his previous life, it was because Wen's father fell down by himself, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhang Hongzhe was in a mess, that the matter was finally left unresolved.

The Wen family suffered a loss, and Wen's father suffered a great injustice.

That's why Nianxi hired a rogue.

Her method was simple and crude, just to vent her anger, but she also did not consider the consequences.

But Pei Jian set up a trap with himself——

This time the stick is really aimed at Pei Jian, beating the imperial officials. With his ability, he will definitely not let the evildoers have an easy time.

This was the first time the two of them worked together to solve a problem after their rebirth. Their methods were different, but they helped Father Wen avoid disaster, so the result was not too bad.

Father Wen wanted to persuade him again, but Nian Xi said softly, "Why not wait until this matter is resolved, and then Father can invite Pei Langjun another day. It's getting late, so you should go home early."

Father Wen had no choice but to give up.

After everyone got on the bus, Nian Xi whispered to Pei Jian, "Thank you."

Pei Jian said nothing, but just lowered his eyes and looked at her.

Dark light surges in the bottom of my eyes, deep and hot. There is no need to say anything else, it represents everything:

You never have to thank me.

Nian Xi did not respond.

Her eyes were as calm as always.

The carriage rumbled past and didn't disappear around the corner until Pei Jian lowered his head and smiled somewhat regretfully.

He couldn't help but raise his arms and smell the smell on his body.

He had been standing close to her just now, and he could smell a familiar faint fragrance from her. Even though she was far away now, the scent still lingered around him, making him feel a little tipsy.

Pei Jian stood on the winter street corner with a refreshed spirit, and even the cool air he breathed had a cold and sweet taste.

He walked back, thinking about what to do next to maximize the value of his rogue status and please Nianxi.

Suddenly I heard the word "cousin".

Pei Jian turned around and saw the curtain of the carriage was half-closed. Soon, a delicate and frail woman stepped out of the carriage.

Her face was pale and her lips were light-colored, making her look like a sick beauty.

She is a woman who makes people feel pity when they see her.

It just so happened that Pei Jian had just met Nian Xi, and his mind was full of her rosy smile. He found his cousin Xu, who was so plain and gentle, even more difficult to accept.

But he was in a good mood today, and asked gently, "Why are you here?"

Xu Wanxin smiled softly, without mentioning that she had seen Pei Jian in front of the teahouse just now. She followed them all the way to the clinic and did not appear until Wen Nianxi and her group were far away.

She lowered her head and coughed twice, then said weakly, "I'm not feeling well."

Xu Wanxin had always been delicate and often suffered from illnesses. Pei Jian did not ask any more questions and nodded, "It's getting late, go back quickly."

Xu Wanxin paused, then asked with concern:

"Why is my cousin here? Is he sick?"

Pei Jian was really happy, with a smile on his face, and his usually cold face showed a little more warmth. He was patient for once, "I'm fine."

But Pei Jian's patience with Cousin Xu was limited after all, and he was about to leave after saying this.

Xu Wanxin dug her nails into her palms, took a deep breath, and then asked, "I just saw my cousin talking to Miss Wen..."

Hearing Nianxi's name, Pei Jian slowed down his steps again.

Xu Wanxin raised her gentle face slightly, revealing an understanding smile, and said, "Does cousin like Miss Wen?"

There is nothing to hide.

Although Pei Jian doesn't like others prying into his private affairs, love is like boiling water. It will boil and bubble on its own and it is difficult to hide. Even the hair has its own will and is vying to be acknowledged.

When talking about Nianxi, Pei Jian's cold eyebrows softened a little, and he hummed, "I like her."

"very nice."

Xu Wanxin seemed very happy. Under the gloomy sky, she looked like a sister who was truly happy for her brother. She clasped her hands together, full of expectation, "Ms. Wen must like my cousin very much, right?"

The joyous mood subsided a little, and Pei Jian did not respond.

Even though he wanted to deceive himself by saying that she liked him, the fact was that Nian Xi at most didn't dislike him now.

Pei Jian frowned slightly, and his voice became a little colder, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm happy for my cousin."

Xu Wanxin's voice was filled with laughter, but when Pei Jian couldn't see her, her eyes were filled with cold sarcasm. "I was thinking that the girl my cousin likes must be very good. I should get closer to Miss Wen."

Nianxi is indeed a very likable girl. She is passionate, interesting, considerate, and strong. Compared with the weak and sentimental cousin Xu, she has a lot more vivid beauty.

So he nodded and said, "She is indeed very nice. It will be beneficial for you to spend more time with her."

Then, Pei Jian quickly thought of the past life when Nianxi and cousin Xu were not very close. Xu Wanxin came home a few times, but Nianxi was always indifferent to her.

For this reason, Xu Wanxin once mentioned it to him unintentionally, "Does my cousin's wife dislike me?

Pei Jian had long forgotten how he responded to her, but the friendship between girls probably depends on fate.

Thinking of this, Pei Jian said, "There is no need to do it on purpose."

"……good."
