I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 221

“Cruel?”

Pei Jingxiu regarded Ning Xi with incredulity, as if she had said something absurd. He raised his brow and feigned a smile with barely veiled coldness in his eyes. He pulled the car to a stop and shifted his body to face Ning Xi.

He lifted Ning Xi’s chin and stared straight at her with his deep, alluring eyes.

Ning Xi almost lost herself in Pei Jingxiu’s captivating eyes. Pei Jingxiu reached his hand towards her, and his tapered finger brushed her chin softly, as if he were caressing on a precious gem. But Ning Xi knew that Pei Jingxiu had uncloaked his devilish nature. Ning Xi was trembling in fear, and she wished to break free from his grasp.

She heard his voice, “Nine, do you still remember our first encounter?”

Ning Xi’s body was shaking uncontrollably and her face was gloomy. She pursed her lips and avoided his gaze. “I don’t remember.”

“How could you forget those memories? When you lose your dignity, that’s when you would realize what you truly want. Just like you would do anything to survive and achieve your goals when I first met you. Nothing is impossible.”

“But it’s a sin that led to our encounter. That’s my punishment,” Ning Xi blurted out, “If I had a choice, I would rather we never met each other.”

Pei Jingxiu curled his lips, “I don’t believe in fate.” He caressed her jawline and tilted her head, “People are often willing to make sacrifices in order to get what they want. There’s nothing wrong with it.”

“Nine, you can devote yourself to benevolence once you get what you want. God will forgive your sins.” He let out a chuckle, “Are you scared?”

Ning Xi remained silent and Pei Jingxiu raised his brow, “You won’t be afraid if you think about your desires. Keep your eye on the prize – let your ambitions drive you forward. By the way, since we’re in Jiang City, don’t you want to meet those good friends of yours? Or maybe we can revisit the place where we first met?”

Ning Xin pursed her lips and glowered at him, “There is no need. I’m tired and I need some rest!”

Pei Jingxiu curled his lips, “Fine!”

Ning Xi closed her eyes, but her past still haunted her no matter how hard she tried to forget it.

Pei Jingxiu was right; she refused to relive what she had gone through in the past. It was her fate to meet Pei Jingxiu, then she would accept it regardless of the outcome.

Ning Xin turned her back on Pei Jingxiu to shield herself from his ruthlessness and aloofness.
