It was because she thought about the consequences that she felt she shouldn't be so selfish. If the truth really came to light and the police found out, he would be able to get out of it cleanly. She just didn't want to implicate him.
Including that night when Ning Weiwei brought those two chemicals to the art museum and wanted to die with her, the first thing she thought of was the word safety.
If anything had gone wrong that night, she would have lost her life, and there was no reason to let Pei Sui die for her. Besides... even if there was an emergency, she just wanted him to live well.
Pei Sui looked at her beautiful face, his deep eyes filled with complex emotions. "I'm a lawyer, your attorney, and also your boyfriend. We're not just "lovers" as you casually call us. I believe that no matter what it is, as long as it concerns you, I should have the right to know. I won't interfere with your choice, but at least I should be involved in every path and every choice you make in the future.
I don't blame you for sending Ning Weiwei to a mental hospital, and I understand how you feel. So I hope I can help you and share your burden as much as possible. I don't want to put so much pressure on you, but you kicked me out when it all started. After all, I'm also an uncertain factor in your heart. Meng Sheng, you're too defensive, wary of everyone and don't trust me.
He didn't want Meng Sheng to be blinded by hatred and eventually lose himself completely.
I guess this is not what her mother wants to see.
Unfortunately, Meng Sheng is now jumping back and forth between the most rational and the most crazy. She is walking in a long and dark alley. If he doesn't pull her back in time, she is afraid that she will not be able to turn back in the future.
Meng Sheng was slightly stunned.
She subconsciously opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Is she too defensive?
Did she not trust him?
No, that's not the case.
She just didn't want to implicate him, so why did it seem like she was selfish and didn't have him in her heart at all when she was with him?
But for a moment she really didn't know how to respond to him.
Pei Sui looked at her slightly pale face and turned away coldly, "You should get some rest early."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.
Meng Sheng's vision was a little blurry, and his eyes reflecting his back were covered with a layer of watery light.
She licked her dry lips and finally uttered a word from her throat, "Pei Sui, I don't distrust you. I have always trusted you since we met. It's just that Ning Weiwei's case is different. It concerns my mother..."
"Why?" Pei Sui paused and looked back at her. "It takes a lot of courage to trust a stranger you just met. Do you really trust me?"
Meng Sheng was speechless. Looking into his deep eyes, she felt as if her soul was being sucked in.
She took a small step back in panic and stopped.
"What do you want to test?" She suppressed the trembling in her throat, took a few steps forward, stared at him and asked.
"Honesty and communication are the two most important things in any relationship, but there's a lack of honesty between us. Do you really trust me?"
Meng Sheng certainly knows how important honesty and trust are between couples and lovers.
Naturally, he trusted Pei Sui.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have given her heart away so quickly.
God knows how difficult it is for her to fall in love with and trust someone again after she had experienced such a scarred marriage with Shang Boyu.
No matter how close the relationship is, there will always be secrets that you don’t want the other person to know.
Perhaps Pei Sui was right. Because she had been deceived and hurt by Yu Qionghua, Shang Boyu, and Ning Weiwei in various ways, she had to build a high wall in her heart.
But she didn't agree with what Pei Sui said about the uncertainty. To be honest, he was more like her stability factor.
It is precisely because he already has a place in her heart that she would exclude him when she thinks there is danger.
"I understand what you're saying, but she's my mother, and there are risks involved. I just don't think you need to get involved in this."
Pei Sui frowned even deeper, and the anger in his heart rose again at her awkward words.
What do you mean that's her mother?
What do you mean there is no need to wade into muddy waters?
I managed to calm down by suppressing my anger and unhappiness over and over again.
At this moment, Bo Liang's lips were pressed into a sharp straight line.
After a few seconds, he couldn't help but ask back, his voice unconsciously chilling several degrees, but he also tried his best to restrain himself, "Then under what circumstances do you think it's necessary for me to wade into this muddy water? Meng Sheng, you have to be so clear with me on this? Why do you have to make things so unmanageable?"
Meng Sheng was much more sensitive than ever at this moment. Noticing this subtle change, her heart suddenly clenched tightly. She tried to explain, "This isn't a question of whether I can tell the difference or not. What I said is all true. What I said was wrong? I don't distrust you. If you still feel uncomfortable, I can apologize for my concealment and lies."
Pei Sui and Meng Sheng are both rational and calm people.
But their rationality is different. Meng Sheng is too emotionally bounded and too calm, as if she is trapped by a set of rules and regulations. She always proceeds step by step and will not cross the line.
To put it bluntly, she is used to relying on herself, taking responsibility for everything, and solving problems on her own. She will not bother anyone, including her boyfriend who has a close relationship with her.
Just like Ning Weiwei's incident, she felt that it was her own private matter and did not want to implicate Pei Sui, and she also wanted to leave a way out for Pei Sui.
But she didn't ask Pei Sui whether he wanted to take this path.
Pei Sui's rationality and calmness mean that he doesn't like to say anything against his will or that may hurt others when he is emotional, as this will only intensify the conflict.
It will also make things go from simple to extremely complicated.
Furthermore, he felt that Meng Sheng's mood was not suitable to continue discussing this topic.
There is no benefit in arguing in the end.
He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed his brow, his voice still as cold and calm as usual, "You are not wrong, no need to apologize, let's all calm down first, you should get some rest."
After saying that, he raised his legs and walked out the door again.
Meng Sheng didn't call him this time. He just looked at the door closing in a daze. His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and two bean-sized tears rolled down his cheeks.
This was the first time they had quarreled since they met and had been together, and the first time they parted on bad terms.
