I Want A Lifetime With You

Pei Jingxiu?

Ning Xi’s eyes softened for a moment, and she immediately backed away once Pei Jingxiu let go of her. “Sir!” she called out as the two calmly stared at each other.

Pei Jingxiu nodded. “Now that your identity’s been confirmed, you can just call me Mr. Pei.”

Ning Xi couldn’t help but still her body for a moment, as though a thought had suddenly crossed her mind. Then, she nodded. “When will I be discharged?”

Pei Jingxiu raised an eyebrow but eventually let out a smirk. “What’s wrong? You can’t wait to return to the Ning family?”

Ning Xi pursed her lips, looking rather sullen. “You know I’ve never wanted to go back to them.” It didn’t matter if she was part of the Ning family; she was never brought up there, so they were nothing but strangers to her. She felt the same about Pei Jingxiu as well. It just so happened that Pei Jingxiu had helped her out of that abyss back then – she had nowhere else to go but to follow him.

Pei Jingxiu cast Ning Xi a glance. Sensing a murderous intent in her eyes, he immediately grabbed her by the hand. “You’re no match for me. You know that.”

Ning Xi pursed her lips. “Why did it have to be me?”

The woman wearing a pair of hospital sandals gazed up at him. She wasn’t exactly short, but Pei Jingxiu still gave off an intimidating vibe, considering he was 187cm tall.

Her eyes were filled with reluctance.

Pei Jingxiu’s lips curled slightly as he gazed back at her, seemingly different from his usual cold self. “There are many things in this world that can’t be explained. If you insist on an answer, you shouldn’t have bumped into me back then. Maybe that way, your fate could’ve turned out different… But that doesn’t necessarily mean you’d be doing better than you are now, right?”

Pei Jingxiu lifted Ning Xi’s chin. “Do you want to see those friends of yours from before?” Ning Xi’s face paled at the sight of the man’s devious smirk. “No. I’m not close to them.”

With that, Pei Jingxiu let go of her chin before grabbing a tissue to wipe the sweat on her forehead. “Now that you’ve recovered, you should head back to Sheen City. That’s where your home is, after all.”

At this moment, the door was pushed open to reveal Li Heng and Pei Huan standing at the entrance.

Pei Huan rushed in when she saw Ning Xi standing on the ground with a pair of sandals on. “Why aren’t you in bed, Ning Xi? You have just undergone surgery! Your body must be having a hard time right now.”

Pei Huan had gone through the same surgery three years ago, so she knew how toilsome it was. Yet, Ning Xi didn’t give her any response. “Ning Xi?”

Ning Xi steeled her gaze and smiled at Pei Huan calmly. “I’m fine now,” she said before turning to Pei Jingxiu. “I just told Mr. Pei that I can be discharged.”
