When they wake up, it is already daytime. Although Pehry always engages in social activities at night,
he wakes up regularly. When he opens his eyes, the little girl beside him is still asleep.
She's quiet while sleeping and nestles in his embrace. Her big clear eyes are closed, and the quilt
slides down, revealing her fair shoulders.
From her neck to her shoulders, there are all green and red marks that he left last night. He feels an
impulse even when he is just looking at her.
Pehry gently closes his eyes, stopping the desire that has arisen again. He pulls the quilt up for her,
covering the ambiguous marks.
Perhaps she is woken up by his action. The girl's long eyelashes slightly tremble. The next second, she
opens her eyes. When she sees him, she is obviously a little sleepy, looking extremely lovely.
"You're awake?" Pehry raises his eyebrows and looks at her with his arms props up.
Jasmine looks around. When she sees the messy clothes on the sofa, the scene what happened last
night flashes across her mind....
She immediately blushes and hides herself under the blanket, "Yes, yes...."
Pehry knows that she is shy. Although he has seen countless women, it is the first time for him to see
such a shy expression. He smiles and strives her forehead. "Are you tired?"
Are you tired?
If he asked in normal times, Jasmine probably wouldn't feel it strange, but at this moment, his words
seem meaningful....
"I'm not tired." With that, she is about to move a little further away from him. But before she exerts any
strength, she feels her waist so hurt that as if someone has slapped her fiercely.
She couldn't help but groans.
"What's the matter?" He immediately looks at her with concern.
Jasmine glares at him in embarrassment, "You know it!"
Pehry, who was always smart, suddenly loses his wits. Seeing her angry but shy, he is completely
nervous, "What's wrong?"
Jasmine is tongue-tied with her face red. For a moment, she doesn't know if he is pretending to be
innocent.
Forget it, she has to get up.
Jasmine is broken in body but firm in mind. With the supports of her arms, she sits up. She has never
found it so difficult to get up.
Last night ... was it that serious?
As she thinks, she goes more embarrassed. She reaches her feet for the slippers not far away, but his
hands suddenly pick them up and help her put them on.
Pehry stands up and props his arms on both sides of her. He asks with a serious expression, "I'm
asking you. Why didn't you say something?"
Only when Jasmine meets his gaze does she realize that he is really worried about her.
After stuttering for a long time, she finally says in a low voice, "I, I have a backache, and my legs hurt
too. Perhaps I am tired...."
Jasmine quickly lowers her head as soon as she finishes it. She feels that her face is so hot that she
can fry an egg on it.
Pehry is stunned before he realizes why she behaves like this. Then, he couldn't help but laugh.
His deep voice sounds like the bell of the temple, resounding in the early morning. He has rarely been
so happy. Jasmine feels so embarrassed that she is about to raise her head to ask him what is funny.
However, when she sees his white teeth and crescent-shaped eyes, she couldn't say anything.
How could there be a man who smiles so handsomely?
Seeing her blank, Pehry gently pinches her chin, "What are you thinking? Since you feel bad, don't go
to the hospital today, OK?"
Jasmine comes back to her senses, "No, my father needs care."
Dating is just dating. She can't ignore other things because she is in love. "I've already asked for leave
from school. Where shall I go if I don't go to the hospital?"
It will make her feel guilty.
Seeing her stubborn, Pehry helplessly sighs, "You can take a rest. I'll have the hospital send two of the
best nurses over...."
"No!" Jasmine suddenly rejected, "Absolutely not!"
Pehry is startled and narrows his eyes, "Why are you so excited?"
"I, I'm not excited...." Thinking of the conversation between Bridget and her at the station, she has to
hold out on Pehry while coming up with a proper way to refuse. She feels upset.
Pehry quickly sees through her ideas. Seeing she is on her dilemma, he roughly gets the reason.
"Did your family say something to you?"
Jasmine's heart skips a beat. But she forces herself to be calm. "How could that be? No ... I have to go
wash up. You should move aside."
Seeing that she is evading the subject, Pehry doesn't move aside. Instead, he gets closer to her,
"Jasmine, you lie to me?"
Nervous, she stammers, "No, no. Why are you so tough? What can they say? They are grateful to
you...."
"They're grateful to me but reject my kindness?" Pehry sneers coldly, "It’s easy to see you through. Are
you sure you're not going to tell me?"
He seems to insist on getting to the bottom of the matter. Jasmine has no confidence while facing him.
And now, as he becomes tough, she has no choice but to show her cards.
She picks up some pleasing words of what Bridget had said that day and ignores the ironic words.
They have just started dating, and she doesn't want Pehry to know that her family don't like him.
However, Pehry can feel how dissatisfied Bridget is. Otherwise, Jasmine would not be so hesitant in
speech. It must not be pleasant to hear.
"Auntie is against our being together, right?" He doesn't even say "dating". He knows that Jasmine
definitely doesn't dare to tell it to her family.
Jasmine doesn't know how to respond, and she felt a little upset, "I...."
"I have expected it." Compared to her hesitation, Pehry is much more straightforward. It isn't that he
doesn't care. Instead, it is that he has just expected it. "You are so young. Not only your family will be
discontent, someone else will make the idle talk."
No matter how young he looks, he is not young indeed. The older generation is conservative, and
Jasmine's family is not greedy, so they don't care his wealth at all.
Jasmine purses her lips and gazes at him quietly.
Pehry finally let go of her, "You don't have to hide it from me. I can bear it. It's just that I have to behave
better in front of your parents."
