The fragrance of lilies filled the car. Pei Jin had been holding a laptop on his knees since he got in the car, with earphones in his ears, as if he was listening to a conference call.

At this moment, he tilted his head and looked over, and saw Shen Yinong pursing her lips and typing quickly with her fingers.

he mused.

She grew up into a graceful and youthful young lady, still with the familiar feeling in his memory, her eyes were still watery and clear, but she would no longer follow him and call him brother, and her eyes no longer looked at him with joy and admiration.

The little girl who had endless things to say and endless questions to ask him when she saw him when they were little now felt strange and wary of him.

He even refused to say another word.

Seeing beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, Pei Jin said, "Acheng, turn down the air conditioner temperature."

Acheng looked at his eldest master in the rearview mirror.

The look in his eyes when he looked at the girl next to him was softer than the clouds in the sky.

Strange.

Acheng did as he was told, and the car soon became cooler.

Pei Jin took a box of pure milk, opened it and handed it to her, "It's not that soon, drink some milk first."

Shen Yinong wanted to drink a little, but she felt that she was not familiar with him, so she refused directly, "I'm not thirsty."

The man paused visibly, "Has your taste changed?"

She wasn't annoyed. He took the milk in his hand and rubbed it with his fingertips. He then took out an avocado puff and handed it to her, "Have some dessert."

He remembered that this was her favorite food when she was a child.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yinong turned off the screen of her phone and looked at him, "Mr. Pei."

When Pei Jin heard this address, his heart sank. He was tall to begin with, and the air seemed crowded when he sat in the back seat.

When he heard the distant voice of Mr. Pei at this moment, his forehead jumped.

"Nong Nong doesn't have to be so distant. You can call me Pei Jin."

Shen Yinong had no time to care, so she asked him, "Is it the 21st century now?"

"Ah."

"Now is the age of freedom, we shouldn't be feudal and superstitious, right?"

In his impression, girls have always been quirky and their words are often unconventional. He didn't quite understand what she wanted to say, but he was just very patient and said "hmm".

"I heard that the two families had already made an engagement before we were born?"

Pei Jin's eyes rarely showed a hint of tenderness, and he hummed.

"But nowadays we advocate freedom of love and marriage. We don't understand this, and we will definitely not be happy if we get married. Can you tell my grandfather to cancel this engagement?"

She wants to break off the engagement.

The slight smile in Pei Jin's eyes was slowly suppressed as he looked at the expectant eyes of the girl in front of him.

Sorry.

Strong.

I don't want to let go yet.

I want to marry you.

Been waiting for you to grow up.

Shen Yinong looked at the cold man beside him without avoiding his gaze.

There was a bright sunset in the sky, shining through the window. The car was driving steadily on the road. The light of the sunset shone through the window onto Pei Jin's face, making his eyes dark and blocking out the light.

"How about this, Nong Nong go talk to Grandpa and your eldest brother yourself. If they agree, I will agree too."

Pei Jin spoke gently, reached out and pressed the window button, lowering half of the window.

The hot and stuffy air outside rushed in, but his heart felt completely cold.

He was not being frank in what he said, because he knew that no matter how much Shen Yinong begged Old Man Shen and Shen Jueyan, they would not agree to Shen Yinong breaking off the engagement.

The medicine injected into Nong Nong's body has not been fully studied yet. The Shen family has been looking for experts, and he has a top medical team that specializes in this research.

The Shen family's EK Group has been investing heavily in drug research and development in recent years, and a big reason for this is because of the unknown potion in Shen Yinong's body.

But Shen Yinong didn't know.

Not knowing that she was kidnapped and nearly killed when she was seven years old, or that those people were so cruel that they deliberately used her for experiments, she was injected with a dose of medicine.

At that time, that group of people came from various countries. They were international mercenaries. There were even members of terrorist organizations and the living dead. The forces behind them were extremely complicated.

When she was found by Pei Jin and the Shen family, she was a little mentally ill, her face was covered with tears, her body and face were dirty, and her originally straight black hair was now as messy as a bird's nest.

There was no visible part of his body. When he saw people, he hid in the corner, hugged himself with his hands, and shouted "Don't come over."

Pei Jin rushed over, and the first time he saw her, the boy, who was only sixteen years old at the time, immediately had bloodshot eyes. He saw that the little girl, who was originally as delicate as a porcelain doll, was now huddled in a dirty corner in a mess. The wooden house was very smelly, and her watery and once lively eyes had become dull and lifeless.

The princess dress was torn by tree branches and whips. It was originally pure and flawless white, but now it was stained with blood and black.

He hugged her tightly, patted her back and told her not to be afraid, "Brother Jin is here to save you."

When she saw Pei Jin, she thought she was seeing things. She held his face and looked at it for a long time before she burst into tears. She hugged his neck tightly and hung on him like a koala. "They, they beat me and didn't give me food. They stuffed a cloth in my mouth to stop me from shouting. It hurts so much. Nongnong hurts all over."

Pei Jin's tears dripped into her messy hair at that time, "Brother Jin will protect you from now on, they won't dare to do that again, Brother Jin will avenge you."

Those people kidnapped her and demanded 100 billion yuan, otherwise they would kill her.

The Shen family quickly raised money and warned them not to violate or hurt her, but those people were all fugitives, so how could they really obey them? Except that they didn't violate her, she suffered many injuries from being beaten.

No one knew what kind of abuse she had suffered during the days she was kidnapped, but the shocking injuries all over her body reminded her of the cruelty she had experienced. The desperadoes had to hide from the police and often went deep into the mountains and forests. She was always dragged by them to run, and her face and body were covered with scratches from tree branches.

After being rescued, she never smiled or spoke again, and she also received psychological treatment.

In order to make her forget that painful memory.

The Shen family asked an expert to hypnotize her.

Over the years, the whole family has indulged her and spoiled her, and no one dares to mention what happened that year.

Pei Jin has also been constantly looking for experts to study the potion in her body.

Pei Jin was not favored in the Pei family before, because his father was forced to marry his mother. His father didn't like his mother and also hated him. He even said that Pei Jin should not even think about the Pei family group, and he would not give him anything.

But Pei Jin had someone he wanted to protect. At that time, he realized that if he was not strong enough, he could not even protect himself, let alone Shen Yinong. He wanted to find out who was behind her kidnapping. After accompanying Shen Yinong in treatment for a year, he went abroad to Southeast Asia.

Go to Southeast Asia where arms and bullets are flying everywhere.
