Xu Nian slept in the car for a few hours, and when she woke up, she was already at the beach.
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw the rising sun on the horizon.
"Pei Zhuo, the sun has risen." Xu Nian excitedly woke up Pei Zhuo, who was sleeping next to her.
Forgive her for being at a loss for words; the beauty of this moment is truly indescribable.
She just thought it was so beautiful.
Like a shy maiden, the rising sun slowly unfolds its myriad rays of light as time goes by, illuminating the entire earth.
Pei Zhuo and Xu Nian enjoyed the sunrise together; she was looking at the scenery, and he was looking at her.
After watching the sunrise, Pei Zhuo, thinking about registering his marriage with Xu Nian today, finally stopped causing trouble and drove home directly.
As soon as the two returned to the residential area, they saw Zhou Lingjing waiting there with a dark expression at the entrance of the building.
Zhou Lingjing first looked Xu Nian over. Seeing that she was alright and her clothes were intact, his expression softened and he asked, "Niannian, do you have any plans for today?"
"Zhou Lingjing, you go back first, I'll contact you later," Xu Nian said apologetically.
"Niannian." Zhou Lingjing was very dissatisfied with Xu Nian's way of addressing him. He still preferred her to call him A-Jing. Calling him by his full name felt too distant.
What happened? Did Pei Zhuo change her mind after just one night?
Zhou Lingjing took a few steps forward, wanting to say something to Xu Nian, but his gaze froze. He stared at the hint of rose red peeking out from the neckline of her clothes, and a surge of intense jealousy began to rise within him.
They have already...
He was so foolish to believe her when she said she hadn't accepted Pei Zhuo's marriage proposal.
Now that she has someone else's mark on her body, how can she let Pei Zhuo touch her?
Has she forgotten what he said?
Does this mean she's chosen Pei Zhuo and completely abandoned him?
Pei Zhuo saw that Zhou Lingjing's face was very ugly, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Nian, as if he was about to breathe fire with anger.
He couldn't help but turn to look at Xu Nian. His gaze froze, and a look of regret flashed across his face. He hadn't been able to control himself and had left a mark.
"Pei Zhuo, you are shameless." Zhou Lingjing directed all his anger at Pei Zhuo.
Xu Nian's face showed no joy at being in love; it must be because Pei Zhuo shamelessly seduced her.
How could he dare to do that to someone he cherished so much?
"Zhou Lingjing, what are you doing?" Pei Zhuo hurriedly turned her head to dodge Zhou Lingjing's fist, a hint of anger flashing across her gentle face.
You shouldn't hit someone in the face, but this person specifically targeted his face, clearly out of jealousy and a desire to disfigure him.
He's going to register his marriage with Niannian today, so he can't afford to have his face disfigured.
Pei Zhuo dodged Zhou Lingjing's punches, taking several steps back to distance himself from Xu Nian's position in the battlefield.
"What are you doing? Do I need a reason to beat up a hypocrite like you?" Zhou Lingjing sneered repeatedly, his fists swinging more and more fiercely.
"Enough, Zhou Lingjing, don't think I'm afraid of you." Pei Zhuo caught the fist that was attacking him, his face showing impatience.
"Since that's the case, don't hide. I've been wanting to get back at you for a long time. Let's go to the boxing gym and have a match. A man who doesn't dare to go isn't a real man," Zhou Lingjing sneered at Pei Zhuo.
"Not today, but I'm available anytime after today." Pei Zhuo was wary of Zhou Lingjing, especially wary that he might suddenly slap him in the face.
"Not today?" Zhou Lingjing looked at Pei Zhuo suspiciously, wondering what his reason was.
He has always been protecting his face from the beginning. When did Pei Zhu become so vain?
Just as Zhou Lingjing was pondering, Xu Nian came over and stopped him, saying, "You two stop fooling around. I'm very tired. I'm going back first."
"Niannian." Zhou Lingjing and Pei Zhuo, who had been locked in a stalemate, quickly separated and turned their gazes to Xu Nian.
All that remained for them was the woman's beautiful back view.
She entered the elevator, didn't even glance at the two of them, and immediately closed the elevator doors.
It was as if their fight had nothing to do with her.
Zhou Lingjing pondered for a moment, his eyes turning ashen as he stared at Pei Zhuo and said, "No matter what you want to do! With me here, I will never let you succeed."
Pei Zhuo scoffed and retorted, "Zhou Lingjing, who do you think you are? You can't stop me, and you won't win Nian Nian's affection."
"Pei Zhuo, who do you think you are? How can you be so sure that Nian Nian will like you?" Zhou Lingjing's face was throbbing with anger, and his fists began to crack again.
“Zhou Lingjing, I’m warning you, if you lay a hand on me again I’ll call the police.” Pei Zhuo took a few steps back to create distance between them.
"Pei Zhuo, why did you show up? And why do you have to compete with me for Niannian?" Zhou Lingjing loathed Pei Zhuo; the loathing and rejection was like an instinct for him. He disliked him very much.
Pei Zhuo's style of doing things is so similar to his, it's practically a carbon copy.
If the two people didn't look different, he would have suspected that this person was his deceased father's illegitimate son.
"If I had to say, perhaps this is fate!" Pei Zhu stared at Zhou Lingjing strangely.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Lingjing noticed the strange look in Pei Zhuo's eyes and felt an inexplicable urge to know something.
“Zhou Lingjing, do you ever feel like you’re different from others? Are you really yourself?” Pei Zhuo asked meaningfully.
“Pei Zhuo, just say what you want to say. Stop playing games with me. If I’m not me, then who am I?” Zhou Lingjing demanded with a dark face.
"You should ask yourself who you are, Zhou Lingjing. Think carefully about every choice you've made since you were a child. Is it really what you wanted? Do you really like Nian Nian now, or are you just following your instincts?" Pei Zhuo's gentle words were like an abyss, leading Zhou Lingjing's heart to plummet.
"Pei Zhuo, what nonsense are you spouting?" Zhou Lingjing appeared calm on the surface, but for some reason, he began to panic and even started to think about the content of Pei Zhuo's words.
Is he really him? If he isn't him, then who is he?
Zhou Lingjing suddenly recalled scenes from his childhood. He clearly didn't like doing business, so why did he gradually rise to his current position?
There were so many things to do and so many people to meet that he was a little overwhelmed.
"Zhou Lingjing, that's all I have to say. Go back and think it over carefully." Pei Zhu walked past Zhou Lingjing and entered the elevator.
Looking at the person standing frozen in place, he smiled with satisfaction.
Nobody likes having a copy of themselves in this world, especially when that copy is competing with you for the most important person.
Pei Zhuo knew perfectly well how Zhou Lingjing came to be; he was someone Pei Zhuo had personally created based on himself.
The more satisfied I was with this work before, the more I hate it now.
Pei Zhuo hopes that Zhou Lingjing can wake up and realize the problem.
...
"Host, are you sure you want to submit your answer now?" Yuanbao hoped Xu Nian would reconsider.
It's only been a few days in the small world, isn't it too early to submit an answer now?
Xu Nian smiled gently. Now that she knew who it was, there was no need to think about it anymore. "Yuanbao, I've confirmed it."
