Chapter 62 Cousin Xu's Obsession

When Pei Jian woke up, he saw a blurry figure of a woman in front of the tent.

She was wearing a red dress, with her hair in the bun that Nianxi was used to, and had a slim figure. At this moment, she was facing away from him, whispering something to the servants.

His heart was pounding, and he thought he was dreaming. He pulled aside the curtain and called out, "Nianxi!"

The woman was startled, and immediately turned around, her eyebrows knitted, her heart turning, her eyes slightly thoughtful, she gently opened her red lips and whispered softly, "Cousin, are you awake?"

It was Xu Wanxin.

Pei Jian's mood plummeted, and he suddenly closed the curtain. The big movement caused him to feel dizzy. He paused for a moment, then raised his voice to call Manager Li, "How can you let others enter the men's dormitory casually?"

Li Weng glanced at Xu Wanxin, who had already blushed and quickly retreated to the hall. He then bowed his head and apologized, "My dear, please don't blame me. It was my negligence."

Pei Jian's figure was hidden behind the tent. After a while, he said, "It's time to change clothes."

After he was dressed appropriately for meeting the guests, he walked out of the inner room.

Xu Wanxin was sitting in an armchair crying silently. When she heard the voice, she lowered her head and wiped her tears. Then she turned around and called softly, "Cousin..."

"Don't be angry with me." There were traces of tears in her big eyes, and her voice was cautious, and she looked pitiful.

When she looked up, she was gentle and well-behaved, full of intimacy and worry, "Mr. Qin said that my cousin was sick, and I was so worried that I took the initiative."

"Cousin," she stretched out her hand, as if wanting to touch the wound on Pei Jian's face, but Pei Jian frowned and avoided her. Xu Wanxin's eyes were filled with tears again, "Your face... who on earth dared to hurt you like this?"

Compared to what Qin Lang saw the day before, the wound on Pei Jian's face had healed a lot. After all, he was young, and he applied medicine yesterday. This morning, the redness and swelling had subsided, but the purple and broken skin marks were hard to disappear.

"No problem."

Xu Wanxin had always been timid and cowardly. Pei Jian looked at her different makeup and said slowly, "Qin Lang is too nosy. I'm already well, so you can go back. You came here alone, and it won't be good if it gets out."

Having said that, he turned around and walked out.

Xu Wanxin stared at his back, and when he was about to step out of the door, she chased after him and asked in a hoarse voice:

"I used to refuse marriage on the pretext of loving you, but you never paid any attention to me. Now you are worried about being suspected of being in a melon field or a plum field. I would like to ask you, who did you think I was when you woke up just now?"

"Are you worried about me or yourself?"

Pei Jian paused for a moment.

"Now that you have heard it, you will know that I have someone in my heart, and I don't want her to misunderstand me."

He turned his head slowly.

"Since you asked me today, I might as well explain it a little more. I admire her deeply and deeply, and I will never marry anyone else in this life."

His two deep eyes fell straight on Xu Wanxin's face which was gradually turning pale and stayed there for a moment.

Thinking of his late mother, he finally said:

"You are not young anymore, so it is the right thing for you to find a husband early. If you don't want to be controlled by your family, I had many classmates when I was studying at the Imperial College. They were all of excellent character and appearance, and I can say that I know them all."

"That's all I have to say. I have something else to do. Please leave now."

After saying this, he walked out without even looking at her.

Mr. Li called from the courtyard, "My dear, the medicine is ready. Please drink it before you go out, my dear..."

I didn't hear Pei Yan's voice again, so I thought he had gone out.

…

Xu Wanxin froze in place.

Her whole body felt like it was immersed in ice water. A subtle chill penetrated her skin and went deep into her bones. If she hadn't clenched her teeth and kept her mouth tightly shut, she would have been shivering and shaking all over.

At the same time, her heart was also filled with cold panic.

A kind of panic and helplessness that was completely beyond her expectations.

She thought that Pei Jian's feelings for Wen Nianxi were just a momentary impulse.

She thought that she had been too gentle and reserved in recent years, causing Pei Jian to misunderstand her feelings and regard her infatuation as a pretext to deceive his family.

She thought that she was always the most special one to Pei Jian. As long as she showed a hint of love, Pei Jian would go in the direction she wanted.

But he never expected that Pei Jian would say that he would not marry anyone but Wen Nianxi.

Deep love?

Xu Wanxin couldn't help but sneer.

Most men in the world are lustful.

Wen Nianxi is indeed outstanding in appearance, but cousin, he shouldn't be such a superficial person.

Xu Wanxin couldn't accept it, she simply couldn't accept it, that the boy whom she had loved since childhood was so cruel to her.

Maybe he was just temporarily confused?

Pei Jian mourned his parents so much, but she was the daughter-in-law personally chosen by his late mother!

They had played together since childhood, Pei Jian must still have feelings for her! Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those things to her, and he wouldn't have chosen a husband for her!

Perhaps it was just that his father's act of breaking off the engagement had hurt the young man so deeply that the knot in his heart was hard to untie, which made it difficult for him to change and refused to focus on himself.

He fell from being a proud son of heaven, without the protection of his parents, the support of his family, and even his marriage was cancelled due to humiliation. How could Pei Jian, who was so proud and self-respecting, endure this?

She saw with her own eyes the bright and clear eyes of that young man turn into fierce and strong, watched him gradually regain his self-esteem and prove himself bit by bit, as if she had experienced it herself.

How could such a Pei Jian be so devoted to Wen Nianxi, a girl with nothing but beauty?

She doesn't believe it.

I don't believe it at all.

Her girlish feelings, youthful dreams, and hopes in life were all placed on Pei Jian.

Xu Wanxin couldn't accept the fact that her cousin didn't love her and didn't want her.

Warm thoughts.

Xu Wanxin closed her eyes and chewed the name carefully. How could she be so worthy as to be entangled with Gu Ci and yet make her cousin fall in love with her?

In this world, how could someone get something that others desire so easily?

Based on what?

She needs to think about it and replan.

Surely, we will find a way to resolve it.
