Ye Ningwan did not move.
Until she felt a dampness in the nape of her neck.
Pei Fengzhi's slightly sticky, smoky voice reached her ears, its husky tone carrying a hint of something Ye Ningwan couldn't quite decipher.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you were going through the hardest time."
Ye Ningwan felt as if her body was paralyzed, but her heart was pounding wildly, the rate of her heartbeat increasing rapidly, almost as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
Pei Fengzhi, he... he was actually crying...
Why is that?
Ye Ningwan was momentarily stunned, but then, as if she had been burned, she pushed Pei Fengzhi away forcefully.
Pei Fengzhi was caught off guard and was forcefully pushed away by Ye Ningwan.
His eyes still bore traces of redness, and his phoenix eyes held a hint of grievance, as if he were accusing Ye Ningwan of suddenly pushing him away at this moment.
Pei Fengzhi's long hair was loose, and her pale face was wet with tears. She looked like she had been abused, and her heart was beating faster than before. Ye Ningwan couldn't tell whether she was moved by Pei Fengzhi's words or by his face.
She subconsciously turned her face away and complained helplessly to Pei Fengzhi in a hoarse voice.
"Don't hug me and cry. You've dirtied my clothes, and my neck is all wet. It feels a bit disgusting."
Although Ye Ningwan said this, there was not a trace of disdain in her tone.
Looking at her haughty demeanor, Pei Fengzhi couldn't help but soften his expression.
He said in a low voice.
"I'll compensate you with one."
Ye Ningwan rolled her eyes at Pei Fengzhi. Did she really need one more piece of clothing from him?
That's hilarious!
Pei Fengzhi immediately understood Ye Ningwan's look and spoke to her very proactively.
"One piece isn't enough, ten pieces, a hundred pieces are all fine. I'll have someone from the store send over the latest seasonal styles in a bit, you can take your time choosing."
Ye Ningwan rolled her eyes at Pei Fengzhi, gave a low snort, and ignored him. However, a thin layer of red appeared behind her ears, burning as if they were about to catch fire.
Pei Fengzhi stared at Ye Ningwan's ears for a long time, a faint smile curving his lips.
He reached out and pinched Ye Ningwan's burning earlobe, whispering.
"It's so hot."
Ye Ningwan turned her head to glare at him, covered her ears, and yelled at him angrily.
"Don't touch it!"
Pei Fengzhi chuckled softly, rubbing his still-warm fingers together, and said with a hint of regret.
"Okay, I won't touch it."
Ye Ningwan gave a low hum, feeling that Pei Fengzhi's gaze was like a soft, sweet milk candy; although it tasted sweet at first, it felt somewhat uncomfortable and astringent when it clung to her entire body...
Ye Ningwan coughed loudly, turned her face away, and asked Pei Fengzhi.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Pei Fengzhi finally spoke seriously.
"How did you leave Jiangcheng back then? You returned from Country A six months ago. Given your circumstances at the time, you shouldn't have been able to leave the country on your own. Who helped you?"
Ye Ningwan pouted and asked.
"You sound like a jealous man who wants to dig up all my past relationships and then kill all those men."
"Just thinking about it is terrifying."
Pei Fengzhi was helpless against Ye Ningwan's keen insight. He did have that intention, but that was all he could think about. After all, Ye Ningwan had helped him, and he didn't have the magnanimity to not tolerate someone like that.
He pressed down on Ye Ningwan's hand, which was slapping at him, and his much larger hand enveloped hers, just enough to cover it.
"I just want to thank him. Thanks to him for taking such good care of you, otherwise I might not have met you at all six months ago."
Ye Ningwan reluctantly began to believe Pei Fengzhi's explanation.
“At that time, I had a professor with whom I had a very good relationship. I had been working as an assistant in her lab since my freshman year. At that time, my relationship with the Ye family was extremely bad, but out of pride, I was unwilling to ask Pei Minghan. The professor always let me live in the lab, and would take me home during holidays so that I could spend the holidays with him.”
"The professor is such a good person."
“At that time, the professor had a spot for studying abroad, and he gave it to me because it was a full scholarship, which is why I was able to go abroad. Through the professor’s introduction, I met a medical professor in country A, who was also one of my teachers. In addition to doing experiments every day, he also helped me introduce many patients. After that, my reputation grew louder and louder, and it even reached back to China.”
Pei Fengzhi listened to the whole story and narrowed his phoenix eyes dangerously.
"This professor is really good to you."
Ye Ningwan pinched Pei Fengzhi's face hard and tugged it, saying in an annoyed tone.
"You just said you weren't jealous, but look at you now. If word got out that Ninth Master Pei is like this, people would laugh themselves to death!"
Pei Fengzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing. He leaned close to Ye Ningwan's lips and bit her hard.
"Is there something wrong? You'll only start to worry when I stop being jealous, won't you?"
This person just likes to argue illogically.
When Ye Ningwan got angry, she lost her mind. She leaned over and bit Pei Fengzhi's thin lips hard, looking down at him triumphantly.
"My professors are all very independent single women. They have dedicated their medical careers to medical research and are constantly striving for the progress of humanity. Are you jealous of that? You jealous king of East Asia, Ninth Master Pei, hmm?"
Pei Fengzhi was taken aback, then raised his hands and said helplessly.
"I am guilty, I shouldn't have done it."
Ye Ningwan couldn't help but laugh. As a reward, she leaned back to Pei Fengzhi's lips, gently biting his lips, and then licked the teeth mark she had left on them.
"I'll forgive you since you admitted your mistake well."
Just then, the car stopped in front of the hospital building.
Ye Ningwan quickly dodged Pei Fengzhi's hand that was around her waist, opened the car door, jumped out, and ran away.
Pei Fengzhi, who had been pushed back into the seat by Ye Ningwan, turned his head and smiled as he watched Ye Ningwan run into the hospital building. He pressed his slender fingers to his lips, gently stroking his lips with teeth marks, and his smile became more meaningful.
He seemed lost in thought, remaining seated without moving. The grizzly bear in the driver's seat turned around, hesitated for a long time, and then finally barked.
"Ninth Master, are you planning to wait here for Madam to return, or shall we go back directly?"
Pei Fengzhi finally came to his senses, and the smile on his face vanished completely. At this moment, he reverted to the cold and ruthless Pei Fengzhi he once was.
"Go to the inpatient department."
Grizzly breathed a sigh of relief and restarted the car.
