taste peaches

Chapter 40
Xuan Zhi stopped drinking the medicine, and for a moment didn't know how to react, but just stared at Chen Jingpei in a daze.

Seeing her silent, Chen Jingpei thought she was too bitter to speak from the medicine juice, so he lifted the sealing cover of a can of preserved peach meat, smashed two small pieces for her to put in her mouth, and said seriously : "There is something I want to make clear to you."

"What's the matter?" Xuan Zhi's eyebrows drooped slightly, she pursed her red lips, and lightly touched the preserved peach meat he personally fed with her tongue between her teeth, but the roots of her ears quietly turned hot and red.

Chen Jingpei stared at her for a moment, afraid of missing every little expression on her face, "I want to tell you clearly about Wen Xixi and I."

No matter how many times Xuan Zhi heard the word Wen Xixi, Xuan Zhi still cared about it.

But at this moment, she tried to persuade herself to calm down and listen to his explanation carefully.

Otherwise, she might be haunted by this knot for the rest of her life.

"Oh." Xuan Zhi's tone was indifferent, and he picked up the medicine bowl again, sucking one mouthful at a time.

"Actually," Chen Jingpei said with a heavy heart, "Wen Xixi died when she was two or three years old."

"Eh?" Xuan Zhi's heart shook violently, "Dead? Then five years ago..."

"The one you mentioned should be her stepsister, Wen Shanni." Chen Jingpei slowly explained to her: "Wen Shanni has always wanted to take Wen Xixi's place, and she often fantasizes that her name is Wen Xixi."

"But I've clearly seen her school card, and the name is Wen Xixi."

Xuan Zhi remembered very clearly that the day Wen Xixi came to her door, she was wearing the school uniform of Feicheng Noble Academy, with a school badge pinned to her chest, with the words "Wen Xixi" written brightly on it.

"She is delusional." Chen Jingpei said coldly, "She thought that as long as she changed her name to Wen Xixi, I would marry her."

"Then your parents have chosen for you a baby kiss, is it Wen Xixi or Wen Shanni?"

"It was Wen Xixi from the beginning to the end." Chen Jingpei replied firmly, "It's just that later, the Wen family didn't know what kind of moral soup they poured into my dad, but they persuaded my dad to transfer the marriage token originally given to Wen Xixi to Wen Shanni."

Xuan Zhi's heart sank, "But this, doesn't it count?"

Both Wen Xixi and Wen Shanni are engaged to him.

"It doesn't count." Chen Jingpei was slightly annoyed, "I never recognized this marriage."

"Then do you recognize Wen Xixi? If she hadn't died young, would you have married her?" For some reason, Xuan Zhi suddenly wanted to quarrel with him.

"No." Sensing that she was jealous, Chen Jingpei said affectionately, "I only like you, and I only want to marry you."

"My father told my mother the same way." A tear flashed across Xuan Zhi's eyes, wrapped in a cold smile, "But later, he still abandoned my mother."

"Your father is your father, and I am me. I can't be like your father."

Chen Jingpei's heart gradually became angry, maybe it was because of allergies on his body, or he saw that Xuan Zhi was holding back tears, which made him start to be impetuous, and at the same time, he was so distressed that he panicked.

After all, this seems to be the first time Xuan Zhi mentioned her parents seriously.

"Trust me, okay?" Chen Jingpei leaned closer to her, and reiterated again, "Besides, I have officially retired from the Wen family, and I will not have anything to do with the Wen family. I will marry innocently." You, I will never let you be wronged again."

As he said, he tried to kiss her soft red lips, "Let's get back together, shall we?"

His breath was so close at hand, Xuan Zhi's heart was in a mess, and he didn't know how to respond.

Suddenly, his thin lips suddenly lowered by two points, but he grasped the just right measure, and just brushed the corner of her mouth as if nothing, itching...
