Chapter 1090: Why Are You Crying Again

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pei Ziheng got up and left.

Xia Ling wrapped herself in her blanket and clutched the horns tightly. She didn’t know how long she cried for before falling asleep drowsily. Her dream was chaotic, but she couldn’t remember anything when she woke up. She could only see the large wet patch of her tears on the pillow.

She was barely able to support her body as she got up and found she wasn’t wearing anything. The rug that had been beside her was removed by someone. She lowered her head and was still shocked by the bruises on her white skin. Some had left behind scars while some were still bleeding. Her white body was now scattered with red and green marks, like dazzling paint spreading across a canvas.

She looked at the bite mark left behind by him on her soft tender arm and was completely helpless.

Pei Ziheng pushed the door open, carrying a tray in his hands. “It’s time to eat. You haven’t eaten in a few days already, so I told the kitchen to make you some bird’s nest porridge. It’s very nutritious.”

His gaze deepened as it fell on the bite mark on her arm.

She was shocked. Remembering how she was not yet dressed, she quickly retracted back into her blanket, showing only half of her head. She stared at him with some vigilance. The depth of his gaze faded and he looked amused. “What are you looking at, could I eat you?” He put the tray at the side of the bed, turned back to retrieve a shirt from the closet and threw it to her.

“You, you turn around,” she grabbed the shirt and whispered.

He really turned around and stopped looking at her.

She found it unbelievable. When did he become so obedient to her? It was like the gentle and totally submissive Brother Pei had returned to her and wasn’t the demon from that day.

She stared at his back for a long time and did not move.

“Are you done?” Pei Ziheng asked.

“No, no yet,” she was shocked and quickly replied while stuttering. She grabbed the shirt in a hurry and put it on messily. His shirt was very wide on her body. The minimalist style and the button being buttoned until the top should have helped suppress desire, but it appeared to be very enticing instead.

He turned around and frowned upon looking at her, before throwing a thin blanket to her. “Put it on.”

She did not dare ask and put it on obediently.

It wasn’t that he was good to her, but Chu Chen had told him that he had to take it slow when chasing girls. If he wanted to make her hell-bent on him, he shouldn’t suppress her with his high-pressure power but should make her realize how good and caring he was. Only that way would she become more reliant on him and thus inseparable. Yes, he wanted to chase her and be together with her.

That day when he went to Blue Dream Club, he had slept with a girl who was similar in shape to her. She was even younger, only fifteen. Forget about it being immoral, the world was like this, where the strong preyed on the weak and became King. The girl was also very happy and was even grateful. At this age, she had no choice but to come out and entertain guests, but to her, being able to fall into the hands of such a wealthy and handsome man like him on her first night was a lucky gift.

But he was not happy.

That night made him certain that he wasn’t a pedophile, nor did he like the slim body that didn’t have much meat in the appropriate places. He only liked one person, and that person was Xia Ling.

So when he learned that she was in danger, he had been furious.

Her body and soul belonged to him, and she was never to escape.

Pei Ziheng took the spoon and fed her porridge bit by bit. She was probably very hungry and quickly drank all the porridge. He wiped her mouth with a paper towel and looked at the mottled tears on her small face. Frowning slightly, he said, “I’ll help you fill the bathtub.”

She shuddered and said, “I, I’ll do it myself.”

Since he had violated her that day, she hadn’t taken a proper shower yet, so there were still traces of him on her body. Now that she remembered this, her face turned red.

Pei Ziheng was unhappy. But when he saw her fearful look, he slowly suppressed the unnamed fire in his heart.

He said, “How are you going to get off the bed like this? I’ll go fill the tub.”

After he said that, he carried her into the bathroom. She seemed to be even lighter than she had been a few days ago, like a fragile bird trembling slightly with thin bones gathered in his embrace. His heart ached as he put her into the bathtub and kissed her forehead. “I told you before that you don’t have to be afraid. As long as you listen to me, I won’t hurt you.”

She did not dare to speak and watched nervously as he left and locked the door.

She slowly washed her body, her fingers touching the traces of shame left on her lower body. Her face burned red like fire and the bits and pieces of memories in the car came to her like waves, causing her pain and... rejoice.

Yes, rejoice.

There was a tiny voice in her heart saying, Xiao Ling, you should be rejoicing. Fortunately, the person who took you in the end was him, not that dirty driver. He... Brother Pei, is different from everyone else.

Even if he was bad to her, he was still different.

She couldn’t pinpoint where exactly he was different, but he just was.

After the shower, she put on a soft white coral fleece bathrobe. She wrapped herself up tightly in it like a little bear cup and staggered out.

Pei Ziheng was tearing open a pack of medicine on the side of the coffee table and there was a cup of warm water that had just been poured beside it.

He saw her walk out and handed her a white pill and the warm water. “Eat it.”

“What is this?” She asked.

“Morning-after pill,” he said.

“What?” She didn’t understand, or more likely, she didn’t know what a morning-after pill was.

Pei Ziheng smiled. “You won’t get pregnant after you eat it.”

She understood this sentence and in an instant, her face was as red as a drop of blood.

Pregnancy? These two days had been so chaotic and confusing that she’d not thought of this problem. But he had actually thought of everything and had even prepared a morning-after pill for her. The calm mood that she had just regained forcefully became chaotic again and she heard herself ask, “You, you don’t want children?”

He glanced at her questioningly. “You want to give birth to my babies?”

She wanted to bite off her own tongue. How could she have asked such a shameless question?!

“I, I...” She wanted to say she wouldn’t want to give birth to his baby, but the words got stuck in her throat as she looked at his profound expression. She turned her head and didn’t dare to look at him.

Pei Ziheng smiled again and helped her comb her hair. “You’re still a child yourself.”

Her nose was a little sour and she whispered, “You’re bullying me.”

He said, “Be good, take the medicine and I’ll take you to a good place in a few days.” After a pause, he said, “We will have children, but not now.”

She was shocked and stared at him with wide eyes. He said that they would have children?! Did that mean that he simply did not intend to let her go and would bully her like in the car again?

Her eyes were suddenly red.

Pei Ziheng frowned slightly. “Why are you crying again?”

“I...” Her voice was very low and she was afraid of angering him. “I don’t want to do that, it... it hurts.” It not only hurt, but there was a kind of disgrace and embarrassment from being treated as an object that satisfied lust. But she was too young and could not distinguish much of her feelings. She only knew that it was unbearably painful.
