Ever since Xu Nian asked Pei Zhuo to read to her that day, he seems to have unlocked some strange attribute, bringing several books for Xu Nian to choose from every day.
Xu Nian flipped through the contents of each book, her face flushed red, and she threw the books back.
Where did this guy find so many adult books and he's going to read them to her? What's he trying to do?
"Pei Zhuo, I'm injured." Xu Nian gritted her teeth, her eyes so fierce they seemed to want to poke several holes in Pei Zhuo.
"Wife, I know you're injured. The doctor said that increasing blood flow helps the wound heal," Pei Zhuo said gently, without changing his expression.
"Which doctor said that? Call him over here, I want to ask him right now." Xu Nian suppressed her anger and sneered at Pei Zhuo.
“Our family’s private doctor, Dr. Sha. Dr. Sha’s wife is about to give birth, so he took a month of paternity leave from me, and we can’t get him to come over right now.” Pei Zhuo’s words made Xu Nian roll her eyes at him several times.
Keep making things up, let's see how far you can go.
Just as Xu Nian was thinking this, Pei Zhuo calmly showed her the search results.
Oh! She really misunderstood him?
No, there are so many ways, why did he have to choose to read erotic novels to her?
Faced with Xu Nian's suspicious gaze, Pei Zhuo knew he was about to run out of steam.
He leaned close to her ear and chuckled, "Honey, don't you think there's a lot of knowledge in there that we can learn from?"
"Pei Zhuo, can't you think of something else?" Xu Nian grabbed a pillow and slapped it across his face, feeling both angry and embarrassed.
"Wife, don't move around. The doctor said you need to rest for a month to fully recover." Pei Zhuo nervously stopped Xu Nian from hitting him.
"I've been lying down for half a month already, why are you still lying down?" Xu Nian felt that Pei Zhuo was being overly anxious.
She can walk around and live a normal life without any problems, but he insists on making her lie down.
If she hadn't seen him so nervous and scared that he was about to cry, she would have gone out for a walk a long time ago.
"Rest in there for a few more days, and I'll let you go out in a few days," Pei Zhuo said worriedly.
He would never forget the way she collapsed in front of him.
He never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness and despair again.
Fortunately, death did not take her away from him, but returned her to him.
"Niannian, next time you encounter danger, you must protect yourself first, okay?" Pei Zhuo rested his head on Xu Nian's shoulder, tears instantly soaking her clothes.
"I know, I reacted in a moment of panic that day." Looking back now, even Xu Nian herself is surprised.
It turns out that her feelings for him were so profound that, in the face of life and death, she subconsciously chose to let him live.
"Niannian, I'm so happy, so happy that you love me so much. But I'm also so sad that you didn't put yourself first." Pei Zhuo would rather Xu Nian be a little selfish and take care of herself than anything else.
Xu Nian touched Pei Zhuo's head and said with a wistful tone, "Pei Zhuo, if it were you, would you choose to save yourself or save me?"
There's no need to ask this question; Xu Nian already knows the answer.
If someone's memory is erased, yet they still subconsciously fall in love with someone else, then that person must have something lovable about them.
Xu Nian has never been a selfless person, nor is she a person obsessed with love.
He must have gone to great lengths to win her heart.
"I can die to save Niannian, but Niannian cannot." When Pei Zhuo said this, a bitter pain welled up in his heart, as if he had lost her many times before.
Having received the answer she expected, Xu Nian's bright eyes revealed an expression of "I knew it."
After confessing their feelings to each other, the two became more comfortable with each other.
Xu Nian also found herself increasingly relying on Pei Zhuo.
However, this feeling of dependence is quite nice; he is needed by her, and he needs her too.
A few days later, Pei Zhuo finally took Xu Nian's hand and went out.
The roses outside the manor castle are still in full bloom, and their fragrance is carried on the wind.
Xu Nian leaned against Pei Zhuo, facing the wind, admiring the sea of roses covering the mountains and fields.
“Pei Zhuo, this scene looks a bit like something out of a fairy tale.” Xu Nian blinked, and the more she looked at it, the more it seemed like a fairy tale.
"Of course, because this is a fairy tale I created for you." Pei Zhuo hoped that Xu Nian could live a happy and joyful life, just like in a fairy tale.
Touched again, Xu Nian smiled slightly. If this continued, she would be infected by the other person and become love-struck.
Xu Nian changed the subject, nudging the person next to her and saying, "Pei Zhuo, aren't you going to let those doctors and nurses in the castle leave?"
“I’ll let them go once you’re fully recovered. Besides, I paid them. They only have to take care of you, a patient. They’re free and rich, isn’t that great?” As soon as Pei Zhuo finished speaking, Xu Nian pinched his waist hard.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Maybe there are other patients waiting for them to save their lives! I just need to rest and recover, there's no need to keep them here any longer." Since Xu Nian had said that, Pei Zhuo had no choice but to let the doctors and nurses leave.
With fewer people around, the island instantly became much quieter.
As the days went by, Xu Nian realized that maintaining the survival of all the roses on the island was a huge expense.
Every day, more than a dozen florists go out early and return late to take care of these roses.
Watering and fertilizing the roses requires helicopter airlifts, and there are various other minor expenses.
The sea of roses she saw was built with money.
Pei Zhuo really went to great lengths to make her happy.
"Pei Zhuo, tell me honestly, how much money do you actually have?" Xu Nian wasn't after Pei Zhuo's money; she was worried that if he continued to squander it like this, the two of them would be eating dirt when they got old.
Pei Zhuo stroked his chin, somewhat uncertainly saying, "There should still be around 10 billion. When we return to Longcheng, I'll take stock of my personal assets and then transfer them all to you, my wife."
"There's still so much left, so let's spend it however we want!" Xu Nian isn't stupid. Why not enjoy life when you can? There's a limit to being compassionate.
"Pei Zhuo, you don't need to give me your money. I don't want to manage things." Xu Nian waved her hand. She didn't want to manage the finances, and she didn't want to give Pei Zhuo pocket money every month.
As for the reason, it's obviously because I'm afraid of trouble!
Sometimes being too rich can be a problem!
She's like a salted fish, the kind that even if someone helps her turn over, she can't. Why stand when you can lie down?
Instead of wasting time, you should read more books and enrich your inner world.
"Niannian, you don't even want my dowry. Are you starting to change your mind?" Pei Zhuo looked over with a pitiful expression. Xu Nian was glad that she hadn't drunk tea at the moment, otherwise she would have definitely sprayed it all over his face.
“Pei Zhuo, let’s sort this out! What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine. Tell me, what is truly yours?” Xu Nian raised an eyebrow, leaving Pei Zhuo speechless.
This issue of "you" and "me" could easily turn into a debate between the two of them.
Pei Zhuo understood Xu Nian's meaning and could only smile helplessly.
If your wife doesn't like receiving money directly, then he should spend more money to please her.
