When they met again, the boss' eyes turned red, kissed her and said sweet words to her

In the dim light, Xu Nanyin slowly sat up.

After listening carefully, I could hear a sound at the door, like... someone was unlocking and prying the door open.

In an instant, she pulled the quilt tightly, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze.

Pei Zhuo.

She must be his again. He was unwilling to accept that she didn't drown and would not let her go.

After a moment of panic, Xu Nanyin turned on the light, and the bedroom was brightly lit. She endured the sudden glare of the light and quickly picked up her phone to call the security room.

She was clearly making quite a bit of noise, but the sound of unlocking didn't stop!

So I quickly got out of bed, pulled out a folding knife from my bag, and clutched it tightly, preparing for the worst, my heart pounding wildly...

There were faint sounds of footsteps at the door!

Then something seemed to hit the wall. Xu Nanyin took a deep breath, walked quickly to the door, and looked outside through the peephole.

In the dim corridor, two figures were fighting each other.

After the two men wrestled in a stalemate for a while, a figure suddenly fled.

Xu Nanyin was feeling bewildered when she saw the remaining man standing in front of the door. He said respectfully, "Madam, the young master sent me to protect your safety. You can sleep peacefully. I will be here to guard you. You will not be in any danger."

Is he really someone sent by Pei Jingmo?

She couldn't believe it for a moment, fearing it was a series of traps.

Until seven or eight security guards from the security room rushed to the corridor and talked with the man for a while.

From beginning to end, Xu Nanyin did not open the door, but just observed their movements through the peephole.

Finally, she felt relieved. She could still trust the people in the security room. After all, Pei Muchuan was still the head of the Pei family, and Pei Jingmo was the crown prince in name only. This old house was not Pei Zhuo's world.

She returned to bed, her hands still shaking unconsciously, trying to calm her panicked heartbeat.

Fortunately, on the first day she arrived at the old house, Pei Jingmo had someone reinstall the door and the combination lock for her. Otherwise, that person might have opened her door without anyone noticing, and the consequences would be disastrous...

Pei Jingmo sent someone to guard her door in the middle of the night. He must have noticed something.

But he didn't have the energy to think about it anymore. Xu Nanyin lay back in bed. Thinking that his people were guarding the door, his heart settled down and he finally fell asleep peacefully.

It was a deep and long sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, the face that caught my eye was the one I had been thinking about day and night for the past few days.

Pei Jingmo didn't know how long he had been sitting by the bed. His fair and clear face showed no emotion. His faint eyes cast a shadow over her: "Are you awake?"

Rubbing her eyes in disbelief, Xu Nanyin suddenly sat up, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly with her arms.

"You're back... Aren't you going to be back in two days?"

Pei Jingmo didn't answer her, but let her hug him for a while. He rubbed her head with his big hand, pushed her away, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with the wound on your neck?"

"allergy……"

"Xu Nanyin, will bruises like this occur from allergies? This is an external injury."

Pei Jingmo reached out and gently covered her neck. Long bruises appeared on her originally fair and tender skin, which were obviously marks from being strangled.

His expression was uncontrollably gloomy. "Yinyin, what happened?"

Xu Nanyin lowered her head, remaining silent for a moment. She was considering whether or not to tell him the whole story. What if he lost control and took revenge on Pei Zhuo? Pei Zhuo wasn't as easy to deal with as Pei Han...

She was afraid that he would act impulsively and be caught by a sinister man like Pei Zhuo.

However, without her saying anything, Pei Jingmo made a very accurate judgment: "It's because you discovered Wang Qian's existence that Pei Zhuo sent people to deal with you."

"So, what happened to you last night?"

Pei Jingmo lifted the quilt, gently held her feet, and placed them on his legs.

He pointed at her heel, and Xu Nanyin looked in the direction she was going, only then did she discover that her heel was actually covered with small scars...

These were probably the wounds caused by her heels scraping against the ground when she kicked off her high heels while being dragged last night.

"Yinyin, if you don't tell me, then I can only ask Pei Zhuo myself."

Pei Jingmo's eyes fell directly on the dense scars on her heels, and he was shrouded in the gloomy and murderous aura before a storm...
