He waited for her to ask him if what Yan Yu said was true, but she didn't say anything and went straight upstairs.
Although he didn't know exactly what Yan Yu had said to her, given Yan Yu's personality, she must have exaggerated the severity of yesterday's events. The fact that she didn't even ask a single question meant she completely believed what Yan Yu said.
Pei Yang's expression darkened slightly. He got up and went upstairs to the bedroom. He heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom and knew she was taking a shower. He sat on the edge of the bed, tapping the blanket lightly with his index finger, patiently waiting for her to come out.
Ten minutes later, the sound of water finally stopped.
The bathroom door opened, and Xu Jiayue came out wearing pajamas.
Pei Yang narrowed her eyes slightly. She always liked to wear nightgowns, but this time she wore a three-quarter sleeve nightgown and trousers.
Although the room has air conditioning and the silk fabric is quite cool, is it necessary to wear autumn pajamas?
This was sending him a signal that she was refusing any intimacy with him tonight.
His heart felt as if it were being pricked by needles. When she approached, he couldn't help but get up and embrace her.
Xu Jiayue stiffened slightly, broke free from his embrace, and whispered, "I'm tired."
Pei Yang didn't let her go; he hugged her again and lowered his head to kiss her.
Xu Jiayue struggled, but thinking of the bed photos Yan Yu had mentioned, she didn't want him to touch her.
During their struggle, she was pushed to the foot of the bed, and he immediately pressed himself on top of her.
Xu Jiayue's softness was seized, and she pushed him forcefully, using all her martial arts skills.
Pei Yang finally managed to subdue her, and looking at her slightly out of breath, his voice a little hoarse: "After seeing Yan Yu, don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Xu Jiayue was startled and stared at him with wide eyes: "You were following me?"
"If I said no, would you believe me?" Pei Yang looked down at her. No matter what others did, they couldn't hurt him in the slightest. Only her, even such a doubtful look, felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart.
Xu Jiayue didn't answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Yan Yu said you almost killed her for the photos. Is that true?"
"If I said it was a way to threaten her, would you believe me?" Pei Yang stared into her eyes.
"So, she does have photos of you and those women?" Xu Jiayue was actually hoping he would deny it. She had accepted his past, but she couldn't accept that he had taken those kinds of photos with those women.
"Yes." After Pei Yang finished speaking, a look of disgust and rejection flashed in his eyes as he looked at her.
"Get off me!" Xu Jiayue suddenly sprang up and shoved him.
Pei Yang didn't expect her to react so strongly, and he was accidentally pushed off the bed, his back hitting the chair with a thud.
Xu Jiayue sat on the bed, panting as she looked at him. Her complexion gradually worsened, and her eyes began to redden.
Pei Yang got up from the floor and sat back on the edge of the bed. He wanted to reach out and hug her, but she slapped his hand away.
He slowly lowered his hand, and his eyes gradually drooped as well.
For several minutes, there was no sound in the room except for breathing.
"Jiayue." Pei Yang called her name in a low, hoarse voice, then remained silent for a moment before asking in a deep, husky voice, "Do you hate me?"
His voice carried a sense of loneliness, and Xu Jiayue's heart trembled slightly.
"Are you afraid of me, disgusted by me, and want to leave me?" Pei Yang was initially worried about breaking the ice. He was afraid she would answer yes, then pack her bags and disappear completely from his world, taking away his only light and warmth.
But he couldn't help asking in the end.
