The next second, Liu Ping felt dizzy and her body fell into the arms she had longed for for many years.
"Xiao Ping, don't marry someone else. I've always had you in my heart. Can we pick up the promise we made more than ten years ago?"
Although he is already in his forties, he speaks like a young boy, passionately and sincerely.
Liu Ping was locked in his arms, at a loss. Was her long-cherished wish to be with him again fulfilled like this?
Pei Qingshan, you have come to this day.
Liu Ping expressionlessly pushed the man who was holding her away, her red lips slightly parted, and spit out harsh and sarcastic words, "Hey, Captain Pei, you said you would marry someone else, so you married someone else, you said you would pick her up, so you picked her up, what do you think of me, Liu Ping?"
She still loves him and has not changed her mind over the years, but what she hopes is that he can face her feelings directly without dodging or avoiding them, rather than approaching her directly out of guilt or impulse in the hope of renewing their relationship.
This is not what she wants.
Perhaps she felt a little humbled because she had not been able to get the love she wanted for so many years, so she asked Ruan Niannian to help her convey that message.
What she hoped was that Pei Qingshan would face up to his feelings, and that the two of them could regain the way they were before, instead of getting married and living a trivial life out of guilt.
Liu Ping has lived alone in this house for more than ten years. The longer she lives there, the clearer she becomes. She has love, hate and resentment in her heart. How could she possibly go and be a nanny for a whole family in such an extremely complicated state of mind?
"Go back. If you still have the same attitude as today, there is nothing we can talk about."
Liu Ping turned around and went back, closed the door and fastened the bolt.
Then she leaned against the door, her lips pale and gasping violently, like a fish out of water.
She reached out her hand to hold her pounding heart, squeezing it hard, feeling the pain of the squeezing before she caught her breath.
Oh! She did it.
Pei Qingshan walked back home in a daze, continued to clean up the dishes, and went back to the room and lay down without saying a word.
"Brother, what happened to Dad? He looks like he has lost his soul." Pei Nannan asked Pei Jinhui worriedly.
Pei Jinhui drove her back to her room. "Who knows? Maybe Aunt Liu Ping doesn't want him anymore. How pitiful! Tsk!"
…
On the other side, Pei Yuanzheng went back to hand in the task.
"How is it? What's Brother Qingshan's reaction?" Ruan Niannian was helping to wash the dishes and asked when she saw him come back.
Pei Yuanzheng picked up Ruan Niannian from behind and moved her aside, then took over the dishwashing job with skillful movements. "Wife, next time you can do these jobs when I come back. My hands are already so rough, don't make yours rough too."
"Oh, I know." Ruan Niannian blushed. She was obviously used to him being nice to her. "Tell me, what was Brother Qingshan's reaction?"
The enthusiasm of the spectators never decreases.
Pei Yuanzheng chuckled and repeated his words that were meant to provoke Pei Qingshan, and then went on to describe Pei Qingshan's disoriented look after hearing them.
"What happened next? Didn't you just look at him for a second?" Ruan Niannian was a little anxious. What kind of person is this? How could he only read half of the gossip? He didn't even finish what he was saying at once, which made her anxious.
Pei Yuanzheng still followed her. Not only did he follow her, but he also saw the scene where Liu Ping rejected Pei Qingshan. He didn't have any idea about their relationship, but his wife wanted to know.
Seeing her anxious look, Pei Yuanzheng stopped teasing her and told her directly, "Under my wife's advice, they didn't succeed."
"Oh, I knew it. Men won't want to cherish something if it's too easy to get it!" Ruan Niannian clapped her hands and put her hands on her hips, with a smug expression.
When Liu Ping asked her to convey a message, she could already hear the resentment in Liu Ping's voice. Even if they still had feelings for each other and stayed together, the trivialities of life would only wear away the little bit of affection they had left, and they would eventually become a pair of resentful lovers.
Old lovers like them who have had misunderstandings and separations should first cleanse their hearts, then regain the feeling of being in love before, and face the future life hand in hand purely.
It's not like two people have knots in their hearts and are together in such an unclean way.
That would do no one any good.
Ruan Niannian told Pei Yuanzheng about her idea, and Pei Yuanzheng agreed with it. However, she had never said before that she would not cherish a man if he was too easy to get.
He listened to her silently, washed all the dishes and put them away, then turned around and looked at Ruan Niannian.
"Wife, you just said that men won't cherish if they get something too easily? Huh?"
He stretched out his arms and wrapped them around Ruan Niannian's slender waist, with a hint of threat in his voice at the end.
Ruan Niannian's heart immediately became alarmed. If she couldn't say something that would satisfy this man, she would not be able to escape that night.
She quickly stood on tiptoe and hugged Pei Yuanzheng's neck. "Of course my husband is different. He is the best soldier trained by the best troops. He is loyal to his country and his lover. You are my most solid support. I believe you will always treat me well and cherish our relationship."
"Well, my wife is very conscious, so I'll give her a reward."
Pei Yuanzheng, who had no idea that he was being CPU (an internet term meaning brainwashed, no explanation given below), was very satisfied with Ruan Niannian's answer. He lowered his head and kissed her pink lips.
After they stayed together for a while, they took turns washing up and going back to their rooms.
Lying on the bed, Ruan Niannian discussed the progress of building the house with Pei Yuanzheng.
"When I went there this morning, it looked from a distance like it was already more than half up. It's going really fast!" Ruan Niannian exclaimed.
Pei Yuanzheng said, "It has been completed this afternoon, except for the roof. It will probably be finished in two or three days. Gangzi has almost negotiated with the Free Market, so I trust him to do the job. I have to go find Gouzi tomorrow and get in touch with him."
"Well, go ahead and talk to him nicely. Don't always think that you treated him like a kid who didn't know anything when you took him out to play. I think people like dogs are quite loyal."
Ruan Nian Nian muttered to herself, wondering if Pei Yuanzheng was still like in his previous life and didn't get along well with Gou Zi in the early stages, should she poach him?
You know, she has seen the dog's abilities decades later. If she can get such a big help, she won't have to worry too much about management.
"Wife, wife, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it. I can't even hear you when I talk to you."
"Ah?" Ruan Niannian came back to her senses and said quickly, "No, nothing. I just thought that once your market is settled, I can start preparing to show my skills and work hard to live a better life!"
Ruan Niannian's positive attitude made Pei Yuanzheng's heart warm again. He completely ignored her guilty look just now and couldn't help but pester her again...
