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

This week, several surrounding cities and even Country R sent people to search, and gradually found traces of Pei Zhuo.

But only in Wucheng, Pei Zhuo didn't even touch a hair.

Huang Liu was surprised: "Boss Pei, are you saying that Pei Zhuo hid his wife in Wucheng?"

Pei Jingmo had a little blue stubble on his beautifully-lined chin, and his aura was cold and sharp.

"He's playing tricks on me." A thin, cold smile appeared on Pei Jingmo's lips.

Huang Liu nodded. "Okay! I'll gather my forces and conduct a blanket search of Wucheng."

Their boss is really smart. Whatever he says is what it is. Huang Liu absolutely believes in his judgment.

"Boss Pei, there's one more thing. The old house has set up a mourning hall for the second master. Boss Pei asked me to ask if you plan to go. After all, there are so many guests outside watching..."

Pei Jingmo narrowed his eyes slightly, his slightly tired face covered in a layer of ice. "What am I going to do? Lift the coffin and scatter his ashes in front of everyone?"

Just thinking about it made Huang Liu feel that the scene was too beautiful to look at, so he trembled and said goodbye.

***

Pei Zhuo has not appeared in the days since Nanyang's death. Except for Wang Qian occasionally coming over to make trouble, everything is relatively calm.

During her nap, Xu Nanyin woke up in a daze when she heard a sound.

After getting up, she found that everything around her was quiet. Was she dreaming?

She was about to go back to sleep when she heard a slight sound coming from the wardrobe in the corner.

Her heart was beating fast. Xu Nanyin stood up and walked carefully to the closet. She took a deep breath and opened the closet...

In an instant, she screamed in fright!

In the closet, a man in black overalls and a black hat was huddled up, his thick stubble visible beneath the brim...

Xu Nanyin was about to rush to the door to call for help when she heard the man's deep voice: "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, it's me."

Pei Zhuo took off his hat and slowly tore off the fake beard around his lips, revealing a fair and gentle face, but with a hint of... fragility that he almost never showed.

Yes, it is fragile.

Xu Nanyin sensitively caught that emotion.

"What are you...doing here?" she asked coldly.

Pei Zhuo stared at the white chrysanthemum in his hand and said, "I'm going back to the old house today to attend my grandfather's funeral."

After being stunned for several seconds, Xu Nanyin realized that the black work clothes he was wearing were printed with the words "Crescent Flower Art".

She remembered that "Yueya Flower Art" was a studio specializing in delivering flowers to old houses.

There must be a lot of flowers at the second uncle's funeral. Did Pei Zhuo sneak in disguised as a flower carrier?

This is so risky!

Although she suspected that Pei Jingmo would not show up at her second uncle's funeral because of her kidnapping, with so many people in the old house, it would be extremely difficult to sneak in and escape unscathed...

Pei Zhuo actually made a special trip just to pay his respects to his second uncle?

This was just like the fact that he was willing to take the risk of sending Nanya to the hospital a few days ago, which shocked and confused her.

"Why do you want to go?" Xu Nanyin asked.

"Grandpa died because of me, so I should go." Pei Zhuo answered simply.

...It's really strange to hear these words coming from a man who used his entire family to any means necessary and insidiously caused a car accident to kill his father.

Xu Nanyin frowned and said sarcastically, "Stop pretending."

"Not pretending."

Pei Zhuo took out his tablet and opened the Nezha cartoon again, and asked her, "Will you watch it with me?"

Xu Nanyin: "I'm almost 30, not three years old."

"Come with me and I'll tell you a secret," Pei Zhuo said.

secret?

Xu Nanyin suddenly became curious, sat on the ground with her legs crossed, and watched with him.

I watched a cartoon when I was a child. I don’t remember the plot, but the little Nezha wearing the Hun Tian Ling and riding on the Wind Fire Wheels looked quite fresh.

After watching two episodes, Pei Zhuo suddenly put away his tablet and said, "I'm sleepy. I need to take a nap. Sister-in-law, please close the door for me."

"?" He meant to sleep in this tiny closet?

Xu Nanyin looked at him as if he were a lunatic.

Pei Zhuo simply pulled the wardrobe door and tried to close it himself.

"What do you mean? It's not enough to place bodyguards all around, you also have to come and monitor me personally?" Xu Nanyin was annoyed.

"I sleep soundly here."

Pei Zhuo directly pulled the wardrobe door shut.

Xu Nanyin sat back on the bed and stared at the closet vigilantly, completely unable to understand what he was up to.

He had only slept for more than an hour. Pei Zhuo came out of the closet, the fragile emotion disappeared, and he walked out.

"Wait! You said you wanted to tell me a secret!"

"I did say that." Pei Zhuo turned his head to look at her, his bright and clear face speaking in denial: "But I didn't say it. When did I tell you?"

Got cheated.

Xu Nanyin gritted her teeth in anger and said, "You can go now."

After taking a look at her angry face, Pei Zhuo raised his long arm and stretched it over her head, as if he wanted to rub her head.

Xu Nanyin was about to avoid him with a cold face, but he withdrew his hand.

"I'll tell you when I want to, Xu Nanyin."

……

In the next few days, Pei Zhuo would come to the closet in her room every afternoon as if he was punching in for work.

Looking at his tall body curled up in the narrow space, holding a small tablet, and asking her to watch cartoons with him with relish, Xu Nanyin was not only puzzled but also speechless.

However, thinking of the "secret", she still endured it.

That day, she watched two episodes of cartoons with Pei Zhuo. As usual, Pei Zhuo closed the wardrobe door and slept inside.

Xu Nanyin sat on the edge of the bed, thinking, he had been sleeping for quite a while, and now was the time when he was sleeping the deepest.

Or... a sneak attack?

She walked forward cautiously, holding her breath and silently opening the wardrobe door. Her two hands gently grasped the cold white neck, preparing to pinch it...

Pei Zhuo opened his eyes.

Those eyes were dark and deep, staring at her without any emotion: "Sister-in-law, am I waking up at the wrong time?"

Xu Nanyin didn't know where she got the courage from, she exerted force with both hands, trying to strangle him unconscious as quickly as possible!

However, almost at the same time she exerted force, Pei Zhuo pressed her shoulders, pushed her out of the closet, and threw her to the ground!

Pei Zhuo pulled her hand away, his face hovering above her, looking at her deeply.

Xu Nanyin pressed her arms tightly against his chest, her porcelain-white face flushed red from the force, her red lips slightly parted, and her long, shiny black hair spread out beneath her body like a black silk ribbon.

Like a thorny red rose, beautiful, delicate and gorgeous.

Pei Zhuo's expression seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly lowering his body to her lips...

"If you dare to touch me! I will bang my head against the wall and die. I mean what I say!" Tears welled up in Xu Nanyin's eyes and she shouted loudly in panic.

In an instant, Pei Zhuo seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly sat up straight.

Looking at her lying on the ground with red eyes and tears on her face, he frowned, took out a gray handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, saying gently: "Sorry, I crossed the line."

Xu Nanyin didn't reach out to take it. She quickly wiped the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, got up from the ground, shrank into a corner and stood against the wall, staring at him warily.

Pei Zhuo glanced at her pitiful face, tears still streaming from her eyes. He grabbed the tablet from the closet and handed it to her: "Do you want to play?"

……nerve.

Xu Nanyin glared at him with a cold face, wiping her tears.

Pei Zhuo rubbed his forehead and suddenly sat back in the closet, curling up his long legs. He patted the ground beside him with one hand, motioning her to sit over there.

"Don't cry, I'll tell you the secret, a secret I've never told anyone."
