Chapter 58 Stop Bullying Guci
The lights were dim, and Pei Jian was in the semi-darkness, making it difficult to see his expression.
Nianxi suddenly smiled softly, as if a breeze passed through people's hearts, "Why?"
Since her rebirth, she has rarely been so kind to herself.
Pei Jian was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I'm crazy."
Nian Xi couldn't help laughing and laughed even more happily, "But I don't need it."
Pei Jian's expression suddenly changed, "Is resignation so good?"
Nian Xi listened to his sour words, put away her smile, and said seriously, "Better than you."
"How can he compare with me?"
Pei Jian was furious. They had been together for thirteen years, and Gu Ci had only known her for a few days. They had also had a time when they were passionate. At the beginning of their relationship, they had made vows to each other and were inseparable.
"That's not fair to me."
Nian Xi asked back, "So what do you mean by secret lover? Is that fair to me?"
She saw through him.
It seems that he is willing to compromise and not care about anything, but he has already calculated everything. Feelings are not a transaction, how could someone as sensitive as Gu Ci not notice it?
As long as she nods today, she and Gu Ci will definitely be separated by barriers and misunderstandings.
As expected of him.
But she is no longer the self-pitying Wen Nianxi who constantly consumed herself and lived in pain because of a man's indifference.
Love is her nourishment.
But it doesn't have to be Pei Jian, it can come from anyone.
Including herself.
Rebirth is the most wonderful thing for her. Having escaped from the bad mood in the past, she now lives her life seriously every day, feeling fulfilled and happy.
"There are many other young men in the capital. Even if I want to marry Pipa, it won't be you."
Nian Xi looked him straight in the eye and said calmly, "Especially now that you are entangled and resentful, it makes me feel how sad the lonely Nian Xi in the past was, who kept getting close to you but was disappointed."
"In fact, you can also lose control, disregard your dignity, spend all your efforts, and offer your self-esteem and patience for someone. But you have never done that for Nianxi, who has been waiting for you in the inner house."
"You don't know how pitiful she was when she was so vulnerable."
Nian Xi admitted that after she got out of the emotional circle, she looked back and realized how disgusting she was as a resentful woman in a distant past.
She kept doubting herself, and in the end she didn't even want to go out to socialize, didn't want to see anyone, couldn't sleep all night, and was facing emotional breakdown at any time. She didn't dare tell her parents for fear that they would worry about her. Her only support was her husband.
But Pei Jian ignored everything.
Nian Xi lowered her eyelashes and forced back the tears.
The past and the present overlap, and she can still feel the pain and helplessness she felt at that time.
"Your obsession now makes my past self look even more ridiculous."
"Stop bullying me, I'm not happy."
Nian Xi paused and smiled with relief, "You will still be a powerful and respected prime minister. In this life, you will have a broader world. We have no chance."
Pei Jian remained silent.
There was a huge emptiness in his heart, as if even the pain had left him.
The whole person is awake and numb.
He stood there stiffly. Without giving him a chance to react, Nian Xi had already raised her voice to call Yingguo out and left with her maid.
Mrs. Wang looked at Pei Jian's expression and felt that he was terribly gloomy. His originally affectionate peach blossom eyes were now dark, like an ancient beast ready to burst out of the deep pool at any time, which was chilling. She glanced at the young lady who had already walked away, swallowed her saliva, and said carefully, "Mr. Pei, it's time for you to go..."
Pei Jian took a deep breath. The diamond in his arms that he had originally intended to give to Nian Xi seemed to be on fire, burning his internal organs. He took out the box and raised it, ready to throw it down, but at the last moment, it stopped in mid-air.
This is a gift for Nianxi, and he can't bear to throw it away.
I couldn't help but laugh at myself. People say that orchids are born with the fruit of the orchid, but it turns out that this is how helpless it feels.
Wang Pozi followed Pei Jian and discovered that Pei was wearing light-colored clothes and a pendant around his waist, which showed that he had dressed up carefully. However, he had fought with Gu Langjun, so his clothes were stained with dirt and blood on the hem, and he didn't look elegant at all.
…
Nianxi's mood was also affected, and she dreamed about her past life all night.
The next morning, I was too lazy to do my makeup.
"Didn't Miss and Mr. Gu make an appointment to go to the South City Football Field to play football today?" Lanzhi said with a smile, "If I don't dress up now, I'll be anxious when Mr. Gu comes."
Lanzhi was talking about the last time Gu Ci came to give her lychees.
Nian Xi was suffering from the bitter summer and the scorching sun was raging. She was annoyed by the fact that she had to wear too formal clothes even when she was in her own yard. But one day, Gu Ci suddenly came to her house at noon and brought her two baskets of fresh lychees and other fruits.
"My second sister just sent me some lychees. Nian'er has always loved eating these seasonal fruits."
Gu Ci said to Li, "She has been suffering from a bitter summer and can't eat anything. I wanted to send it here as soon as possible to change her taste. But I disturbed your aunt's quiet afternoon."
Gu Ci's second sister married into the Yingchuan Chen family, a prominent southern family, and would send seasonal fruits from the south every year.
Someone was always thinking about her daughter, and as a mother, Li was only happy, and she kept calling people to ask Nianxi to come.
At that time, Nian Xi was lazing around in the house with her hair loose and wearing cool clothes. When she heard the call, she hurriedly looked for clothes and tied her hair into a bun.
But she loved beauty and refused to do things half-heartedly. She wanted to get the right kind of dress and hairstyle. After a busy schedule, by the time she arrived at the banquet hall, it was time to leave, so she went back to the government office.
Li pointed at the round fresh lychees on the plate and tapped Nianxi's forehead. "This thing is not easy to get. He must have given you all the family's share. But you, on the other hand, still couldn't come no matter how much we urged him. He left without waiting."
Nianxi has always been a child in front of Li. She didn't mind the hot weather and went over to squeeze in with Li. "This is his way of showing filial piety to you. What does it have to do with me?"
"I said this without feeling guilty."
Li laughed and scolded, then continued, "Gu Ci is a good-tempered child, but you are not allowed to take advantage of him all the time. A relationship between two people can only last long if there is give and take."
Nian Xi smiled and said, "Who said I treated him badly? Look, mother, I put on makeup specially for him."
Li looked at her daughter's fair face, with a healthy and pleasing pink tint on her cheeks. She couldn't help but feel happy and said proudly, "Whoever marries my daughter will be truly blessed."
…
Nian Xi was caught in the wind at the corner gate last night, and when she woke up in the morning, she felt a little dizzy.
At this time, he said to Lanzhi, "Just tie your hair into a bun. I'm sorry, I won't come today."
Lan Zhi was surprised, "Mr. Gu didn't send anyone to say he wouldn't come. Could it be that Miss has some magical powers?"
Pei Jian was beaten so badly last night, I guess Gu Ci wouldn't be much better off.
Based on his experience last time, he probably won’t show up in the next few days.
Who knew that Gu Ci came as usual.
Lanzhi smiled and said, "It seems that the young lady's divination is not accurate."
