Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 371 The Once Home
Xia Ling stood in front of the porch, her heart fluttering.

When was the last time you stood here?That year, she heard that he was engaged to Wang Jingwan, and she quarreled with him to no avail, so she packed her luggage and planned to leave in frustration.When she was going out, she was bumped into by him, and he knocked her to the ground with a slap.

Right there.

Xia Ling looked at the teak floor she had carefully selected. It had beautiful and delicate textures, but it was very hard. The fall hurt her very much, and what hurt even more was the slap he slapped on her face, burning with despair.

Today, that sense of hopelessness has returned.

It was even worse than that time, she had gone through so many hardships to finally obtain her own happiness, and the tenderness and sweetness with Li Lei hadn't lasted for a few days, so short, it was easily broken by a sudden disaster up.It turned out that she really had a lot of fate, and she was punished for being alone and widowed.

She thought of her brother's prophecy, and her heart was pierced like a knife.

Pei Ziheng led her into the house, took off his coat, and handed it to the maid.The maid was very old, her hair was already gray, and she had a kind and peaceful expression in the corners of her eyes and brows. She was not as trembling and submissive to Pei Ziheng as the people outside.She took the coat from Pei Ziheng, and said familiarly and naturally: "Sir, welcome home, the tea is ready, do you want me to bring it for you?"

Pei Ziheng nodded slightly, and said, "Prepare a glass of lemonade with honey for Xiao Ling."

He always remembered what flavor she liked to drink.

It was the old maid, who looked up at her after hearing the words, with a little surprise in her eyes.

Xia Ling showed a smile: "I'm Ye Xingling." She recognized this maid, Mother Zhou, who was said to be Pei Ziheng's nanny when he was a child, who had served him for most of his life, properly and considerately.When Xia Ling lived here before, she liked her very much, she was like a kind and tolerant mother, kind and peaceful.

Mother Zhou put away her surprise when she heard her say this, and smiled: "Miss Ye, please wait a moment, I'll prepare it right away." Seeing Pei Ziheng bring someone back, she had brewed two cups The tea is all Biluochun, which Pei Ziheng is used to drinking.Unexpectedly, Pei Ziheng would ask her to switch to honey lemonade.She still remembered that many years ago, when Miss Xia Ling was still alive, this kind of water was her favorite drink. Later, when Miss Xia Ling passed away, the husband was very sad and ordered honey and lemon to be kept at home, but he never took it out to soak it once. water to drink.

Now, the girl brought back by Mr. has the word "环" in her name, and she still drinks Miss Xia Ling's favorite drink before she was alive. What's going on?

Zhou's mother was full of doubts, but she still made the water carefully and served it together with Pei Ziheng's tea.

Pei Ziheng first handed the honey lemonade to Xia Ling: "Try it, how about it?"

Xia Ling also lowered her head and took a sip. It was the taste she was used to in her previous life, but now, it seemed to be slightly bitter.It's also honey lemon tea, Zhou Ma's brewing is completely different from Li Lei's, she always thinks that the tea made by Li Lei will be sweeter, the lemons are cut into small crescent-shaped pieces, just looking at it is refreshing.

The look of memory in her eyes made Pei Ziheng think that she remembered the past in her previous life.

He ordered Zhou Ma to step back, and said to Xia Ling in a warm voice: "The layout of this room, from furniture, lighting to small decorations, I have not touched everything, it is the way you like it before. If you want to buy more What, what to change, you can decide for yourself.”

She shook her head, how could she be in the mood to do this now?

Pei Ziheng took her to the bedroom on the second floor, opened the door, there was a densely woven fur carpet and a big soft bed.On the low cabinet next to the bed, there are cufflinks and tie clips that he wears every day.

Obviously, he usually sleeps here.

"You rest first," he said to Xia Ling, "I have a meeting with New York tonight. The toiletries and bathrobes are in the old place. If you want something for supper, you can tell Zhou Mama directly."

"I'll just sleep in the guest room." Xia Ling said quickly.

Pei Ziheng's eyes deepened slightly.

Xia Ling's heart tightened: "I'm used to sleeping alone now."

Didn't she sleep with Li Lei?Hearing what she said, his face looked a little better, and then he said without doubt: "Then you must get used to sleeping with two as soon as possible."

Xia Ling suddenly looked up at him.

what does he mean?Did you show up on the first day back home?Although she knew she couldn't avoid it, she didn't expect the danger to come so quickly. "My body is not fully recovered," she forced herself to calm down, "I also sleep lightly and wake up easily, Pei Ziheng, let me go to the guest room to sleep, I need to rest."

He looked down at her with unfathomable eyes.

After a while, he said, "Xia Ling, you should sleep here. If you are honest, I will stay in the study tonight. If you insist on contradicting me, believe it or not, I will kill you tonight?"

She trembled and stopped talking.

The man in front of him gave her a deep look, turned around, and strode out of the bedroom.

She stood where she was, and waited for him to walk away before recovering. Her heart was beating violently, and she rushed to the bedroom door and closed it tightly, locking it tightly.Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

One night, he didn't dare to sleep, and sat withered until dawn.

Around seven or eight o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door outside: "Miss Ye?"

Xia Ling recognized that it was Mama Zhou's voice.

She opened the door, and she saw Mother Zhou standing in front of the door, asking her with a kind smile: "Good morning, Miss Ye, breakfast is ready, you can wash up and go downstairs to eat."

"Where's Pei Ziheng?" she asked.His voice was a little hoarse due to not sleeping all night.

"Mr. went out before dawn. The company is busy recently, so he leaves early and returns late." Mama Zhou said, "Before I left, I specifically asked me not to disturb you and let you sleep for a while." Mama Zhou said, Taking a look at Xia Ling's complexion, the girl in front of her looked haggard. Does she look like she has rested?

She was a little worried: "Did you suffer from insomnia last night? If you are not used to it, just tell me. If the husband comes back and sees you like this, why don't you feel so distressed?"

How could he be distressed?
Xia Ling thought to herself mockingly, what he did to her was much crueler than this, and he didn't necessarily feel sorry for her. It was just a little insomnia. Even if he knew, he would probably only be angry at her for defying him. Will, instead of worrying about her body, right?
Looking at her expression, Zhou's mother guessed that she didn't take it seriously, and said quickly, "Mr. never takes anyone home. You must be able to live in him. He must have attached great importance to it. Ms. Ye, don't belittle yourself, Mr. cares about you very much, really."

Xia Ling was startled, "He...hasn't he raised many people?"

In the past two years, he has collected an unknown number of women. Just the ones she has heard of and met, the five fingers can't count.
