Chapter 48: Do You Still Love Him?

He didn’t understand the situation, but he questioned her like that, and he treated her like that. She was also emotional. She glanced at his phone screen, then looked straight at him. “Yes, I posted it.”

She raised an eyebrow. “So what? Mr. Pei controls the heavens and the earth, and now he controls other people’s Moments?”

“Mr. Pei, what’s the meaning of your questioning? Even if I still have feelings for my ex-boyfriend, and I want to wait for him to change his mind, what does it have to do with Mr. Pei?”

Jian Jinci’s lips curled into a cold smile. She looked straight at him, her eyes not dodging or evading.

Seeing his tense jawline, he was suppressing his emotions. She laughed. “Want to hit me? Mr. Pei, hitting women is not a sign of a good man.”

Seeing Pei Yanzhou lost in thought, she pushed him hard, escaping his confinement, and strode away. She didn’t want to talk to a man who wasn’t calm.

She had only taken a few steps when a wave of dizziness hit her. She gasped and was carried horizontally by Pei Yanzhou. She reflexively grabbed the clothes on his chest.

She struggled, kicking her legs wildly, and cursed, “Pei Yanzhou, are you crazy! Let me go.”

His eyes were gloomy, his face devoid of any warmth, his gaze sharp. He carried her towards the car, opened the back door, and put her in. He also got in, closed the door.

In the small, dim space, there were only the two of them. Jian Jinci’s hands were sweating nervously. Pei Yanzhou leaned over and pressed her against the corner. His gloomy eyes stared intently at her.

After a few seconds, Jian Jinci couldn’t stand his sharp gaze, as if he was going to strip her layer by layer. She turned her head. “That…”

“The Moments wasn’t… I posted it, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

“I don’t have feelings for my ex-boyfriend, and I’m not waiting for him to change his mind.”

She poked Pei Yanzhou’s chest with a finger, stammering. “That… can you stay away from me?”

She had been very tough just now, but now she was instantly intimidated by Pei Yanzhou. She didn’t dare to care about how he treated her just now. In this small space, she was at a disadvantage, so she had to soften her attitude.

Pei Yanzhou: “Really not?”

“I swear.” Jian Jinci raised three fingers. “If I, Jian Jinci, posted it, then let me be hit by a car when I go out, choke on water when I drink, eat…”

“Mmm…” Pei Yanzhou’s cool lips pressed against hers, enveloping them, gently rolling on her lips.

A tingling sensation sent a current straight to her heart. Her hand on her side unconsciously clenched, and she reached out to push him away, but her hand unconsciously fell.

His lips moved to the corner of her lips, lightly kissing them, like he was calming her down, or apologizing for his previous actions.

Jian Jinci’s eyelashes fluttered, her whole body tingling, her ears turning red. Pei Yanzhou held her hand in his palm, his fingertips gently rubbing her back. He didn’t go any further, leaving her lips, and said hoarsely, “Why are you acting like a three-year-old when you’re angry?”

“You’re a hooligan!” Jian Jinci mumbled. “Who told you to do that to me?”

“I’m sorry…” Pei Yanzhou’s expression softened a lot, not as gloomy as before, his face also softened a bit.

He gently pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder. His warm breath sprayed on the skin of her neck, hot, itchy, and tingling.

She called him softly, “Pei Yanzhou.”

“Do you still love him?”

Do you still love Song Xuchen?

Faced with this question, Jian Jinci paused, then slowly said, “The moment he cheated, I stopped loving him. I won’t waste my time dwelling on love.”

“I have more important things to do. I need to make money, make money to support Axiu.”

After being cheated on, she was very sad, but she, Jian Jinci, was abandoned by her own father, so it was normal for her to be abandoned by anyone. Thinking about it this way, being cheated on wasn’t that hard to accept.

Pei Yanzhou didn’t let go of her. Jian Jinci reached out and poked his arm. “Mr. Pei… men and women should not be intimate.”

The small space was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and an unknown feeling was slowly fermenting in her heart.

Pei Yanzhou’s voice was low. “Call me by my name.”

Jian Jinci: “…”

She called, “Pei Yanzhou, men and women should not be intimate.”

He put his hand on her neck, tightly holding her in his arms, and said, “You provoked me first.”

“You have to take responsibility for me.”

Jian Jinci stammered, “You… you kissed back today…”

“And kissed twice…”

“So we’re even, I won’t hold that against you…”
