Under Pei Jinting's pressure, Gu Qingyuan refused to tell her how to be a bodyguard.
She still remembered that day at the Duke's Mansion, when he climbed over the wall and entered her curtain. He was also afraid of being discovered, so he became her bodyguard.
In the first half of the night, he was extra serious, abiding by his duty as a guard, hugging her, and asking her her priorities from time to time.
The more she thought about it, the redder Gu Qingyuan's cheeks became. That time, until the second half of the process, she couldn't stand it anymore and cried and was relieved of her duties as a bodyguard.
Today, this man talked about pretending to be a guard again. Gu Qingyuan found it difficult to say it and her back was sweating.
Pei Jinting was sitting at the table with a smile on his face, his brows widened. Gu Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked away, unable to bear to look any further.
"Don't act recklessly. There are servants of the Qin family outside now. What will they say when they see you leaving my house?"
"There is also my grandmother. She already knows about my divorce."
"Oh?" Pei Jinting raised his eyes slightly, put his chin back, crossed his arms and looked at her,
"What you mean now is that we are not husband and wife, we can only have an affair..."
He smiled slightly and said calmly, "Then I will reluctantly be your lover."
Gu Qingyuan was angry, "Why are you stealing... your lover?"
As if she had heard some harsh words, she just jumped up and sat down on the chair next to her angrily.
Fortunately, from the day she arrived at the Qin family, she said she didn't like having too many people around her, so she kept all the maids from the Qin family in Baosha in front.
A maid from the Gu family was left alone.
At this moment, she went to deliver a letter to Li Yi, but she still hasn't come back.
Even though no one else heard these embarrassing words, Gu Qingyuan still felt blushing.
"Why not? A man and a woman can't be together in an upright manner, so why not steal?" Pei Jinting's eyes were calm and innocent.
Contains a thin smile.
"Or is it that Yuanyuan has another man, so she doesn't want a lover?"
The more she spoke, the more outrageous she became. Gu Qingyuan said bitterly, "Where is the other man?"
"That couldn't be better." Pei Jinting took advantage of the situation and shook her hand, with a somewhat pitiful meaning, "Yuanyuan. Since you left, no one helped to treat the wound. The injury has not fully healed yet...
"
"If you don't believe it, just touch it and take a look..."
He led Gu Qingyuan's hand towards her back.
Gu Qingyuan looked at her speechlessly.
She finally understood that no matter what he said, this person always got people in one way or another.
The scars under her hands were a little uneven, and she trembled when her fingertips touched her skin.
During the struggle, the words rushed out of his mouth, "Pei Jingheng, don't do anything wrong, we...we don't want to be lovers, family members, brothers and sisters..."
She just wanted to use ethics to restrain Pei Jinting.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jinting grabbed her thin wrist and rubbed her skin for a moment. He looked down from her neck to the mountains and lower abdomen. The words he spoke made people wonder whether they had been thought through.
"Yes. We are brother and sister. When we go out, we have to rely on each other even more. My sister..."
The ends of his eyes were flushed, and his arms were wrapped around Gu Qingyuan's waist like conscious vines.
"How about helping Brother Wei take a look at the injury? It's best to try to soothe Brother Wei's hurt heart."
He reached out and pulled the tie on her skirt.
"You're crazy." Gu Qingyuan didn't expect to say that they were going to be brother and sister, which irritated Pei Jinting even more.
What she said was half true and half false, but she knew it was true.
The Qin family was just her last struggle.
If she really can't hide it from Pei Jinting in the future, she also wants to slowly infiltrate this matter to him.
Wait until one day he can accept this fact.
Now, when she said this, it seemed as if she had immersed Pei Jinting in such a taboo drama.
She couldn't think of anything else, she was covering her clothes in panic with one hand, and pushing away the troublemaker in front of her with the other hand.
"It's daytime, this is the Qin family... Pei Jinting, there are outsiders outside."
She almost fainted.
He gritted his teeth and stared, "That's enough for you. If you keep doing this, I'll call someone to show you how the dignified third son of the Pei family steals love and wealth without caring about human ethics."
It is obviously autumn, the weather has become cooler, and the wind outside the window is blowing, sometimes with a chill.
But Gu Qingyuan's body was covered with sweat, and she felt so hot that she could hardly breathe.
She bit her lip tightly without making a sound.
Pei Jinting's hand caressing her thin back also stopped.
He was just a little frustrated. He thought that Gu Qingyuan would be happy when she saw him.
He was greeted only with rejection.
Even though she is in his arms, she still seems to be thousands of miles away from him.
Didn't she know how his heart ached?
The two faced each other in silence for a long time, and Pei Jinting asked abruptly, "Do you know it hurts?"
Gu Qingyuan was gritting her teeth and trying not to make a sound.
Suddenly I heard his question and thought, how could she not know the pain?
From the day she left Kyoto, she often couldn't sleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would think of his sad look when he let go of his hand in front of the Ritan Temple.
There is also his lonely and upright figure as the carriage goes further and further away.
Tears that had not fallen for a long time fell from the corners of her eyes.
Pei Jinting looked at her and smiled.
With tears in her eyes, she vaguely saw some malice in his shining eyes.
Gu Qingyuan's hunch was correct.
Pei Jinting changed his previous attitude of being lazy and carefree, and became especially... bad.
Gu Qingyuan pushed him away and stood up. Pei Jinting grabbed her wrist from behind, and sparks filled their eyes as they looked at each other.
Her eyes were so red that she would burst into tears if she said another word, so she said briefly and softly, "Let me go."
Her wrist was painfully squeezed, but this pain could not be compared to what she felt in her heart.
Pei Jinting's dark eyes stared deeply at Gu Qingyuan, who was frowning and looking painful.
He was a little confused. He was obviously the one who was abandoned, and he was the one who suffered.
How painful and terrifying is the abandonment of the initiator.
He held her thin wrist and looked down at Gu Qingyuan who was held tightly by him.
"Gu Yuanyuan. Remember, I will only say this once."
"You are the only one in my life. If you want to play, I will play with you. But it is absolutely impossible for me to let you go."
Gu Qingyuan's eyebrows were trembling. At that moment, she felt that the bones in her wrist were about to be crushed.
She was in pain but didn't say a word.
Her temperament is that she is the cruelest to herself and the most unwilling to admit defeat. Even if she hurts the enemy a thousand times and damages herself eight hundred times, and the pain is so painful that she bleeds, she still feels that she is right.
In the middle of the night, she went back and forth in her dreams. She also wanted to tell Pei Jinting everything. She also wanted to say something loud and clear, so what if the world laughs at her? So what if the world doesn't accept it? What does it have to do with her.
She opened her mouth and was about to blurt out the words when there was a knock on the door from outside. It was the maid who went to find Li Yi.
"Girl, Brother Li said that he has found the old nanny who used to wait on my wife."
