Chapter 1085: Dating Back in the Country
Xia Ling was bored in her room and her heart was in a mess.
The scene in the bathroom that night, as well as the scene of Pei Ziheng and the woman in the morning, lingered in front of her as if her eyes had been cursed and she had no choice but to face it.
What happened to her?
She remembered the woman’s charming eyes and her fingers that were painted red as she smiled and said to her, “A good girl shouldn’t ask.” But she didn’t want to be a good girl, she only wanted…
What did she want? She didn’t know either.
Feeling even more confused, she fell asleep in the luxurious bed of the presidential suite and dreamed. In her dream, she became the woman, wearing a silky nightdress that revealed her curves. With him, they…
She screamed and woke up. She was scared by herself and looked up at the mirror with a flustered face.
She didn’t dare sleep anymore. How could she have such a shameless dream? Over the years, Brother Pei had been the one who raised them and cured her Sister’s illness. He was their benefactor, the person she was most grateful to and respected most. She shouldn’t use such a dirty mind to yearn for him, she couldn’t even think of it.
She slapped her face fiercely as if pushing out all the thoughts she shouldn’t have.
She took out the scores from the Training Camp and forced herself to concentrate on practicing the songs. But the songs about love made her feel like there were ants in her pants. She was capricious and halfway through her practicing, she threw away the score.
There was a knock on the door.
She held her breath at once and her heart thumped uncontrollably. Who would be here? Could it be him? After all these days of chaos, was he finally willing to find her and pacify her? She opened her mouth with difficulty and heard her own dry voice asking, “Who is it?”
A soft female voice came from outside. “It’s me, Sister.”
Her heartbeat returned to normal but felt empty. She then walked over to open the door absent-mindedly.
Outside the entrance, Xia Yu looked at her in shock. “What happened, Sister? Why’s your expression so bad?”
She didn’t have the strength to explain and just said, “Is there something, Xiao Yu?”
Xia Yu shook the takeaway in her hand and smiled at her intimately. “I sneaked out today and bought you delicious food. Sister, you must keep it a secret for me and don’t tell others,” she said and quietly squeezed in through the door. She closed it and opened the takeaway in the small meeting area inside the suite.
Xia Ling walked over and sat down too. She was still very happy to have someone to talk to and distract her. “Why did you suddenly think of sneaking out?” She helped Xia Yu open the takeaway and the aroma of the dessert wafted out.
“I…” Xia Yu hesitated before saying, “Sister, don’t be angry.”
“Why would I be angry?”
“I, I went to follow Brother Ziheng,” Xia Yu said and looked at her apprehensively. “I saw that you were so upset this morning and went to find Brother Ziheng to ask him to pacify you. But he said he didn’t have time and also wouldn’t be coming back tonight. I heard him say to Chu Chen that he’s going to some Blue Dream Club tonight. I was curious about what kind of place it was and sneaked out.”
Xia Ling widened her eyes. “You sneaked out alone? It’s dangerous outside!”
“Sister, I’m so big already, it’s okay,” Xia Yu said. “I was just angry. What else is more important than you? He obviously knew that you were upset, but he still left you alone in the hotel!”
“There are so many things that are more important than me.” Xia Ling smiled a little bleakly and her butterfly-like eyelashes drooped down. “He’s very busy at work and doesn’t have time to take care of me. I… I don’t want to cause trouble for him. Xiao Yu, don’t run around in the future anymore. I only have you, what would I do if something happens to you?”
“I’m really fine. I heard Paris is very safe, really.” Xia Yu held her hand in reassurance and was a little indignant. “Tsk, Sister, Brother Ziheng isn’t even busy with work. I saw it with my own eyes, Brother Ziheng embraced a very beautiful girl and entered. He even kissed her!”
Xia Ling’s heart jumped wildly and uncontrollably, the blood draining from her face. “Really?”
“It’s true!” Xia Yu looked at her seriously. “But, Sister, you mustn’t tell anyone what I told you. Whether it’s to Brother Ziheng or to anyone else, you mustn’t say even a single word! If Brother Ziheng finds out I followed him, I’ll definitely die very badly!”
“Okay, I definitely won’t say it.”
“You swear?”
“I swear, how could I harm you?” Xia Ling said, her expression still bad. “So, he clearly knew that I was very sad, but would rather go embrace another girl than to come back and pacify me?”
Xia Yu gently held her shoulder and said quietly, “After all, you’re only his sister. He still has his own life. After he marries a wife, he would probably forget all about you. Sister, you shouldn’t rely so much on him like when you were young. Don’t think of letting him pacify you over everything, you must learn to be independent, understand?”
Xia Ling was very upset. A long time passed before she nodded.
Xia Yu’s face showed a smile of satisfaction. “Go back to China.”
“What?”
“I said, go back to China.” Xia Yu looked at her seriously. “I’m very happy you came to Paris to accompany me, but I’m also very upset to see you in this state. Sister, I know you don’t have the mood to play now, and you’ll only be more and more unhappy the longer you stay here. Why don’t you go back to China and leave Brother Ziheng for a while? You can calm down and think about how to get along with him in the future. Perhaps…”
Suddenly showing a playful smile, she continued, “Now that it’s summer vacation, you may even find a good relationship when you’re back in China. There are so many boys chasing you in the Training Camp, it’ll be good to date someone of the same age.”
“I don’t want to date,” Xia Ling said.
Xia Yu said, “You’re so beautiful and you’re already sixteen. Isn’t it normal to fall in love? And how could it be easy to debut? Just give it a try, I heard that love can make people forget a lot of troubles.”
Xia Ling was moved by her words. She could forget her troubles?
Could she forget him…
Unexpectedly, his God-like, handsome face appeared in her mind.
Her heart began to hurt again, and she forced herself not to think about it. She said to her sister, “Okay, I’ll go back to China.”
Xia Yu said, “That’s right. I’ll help you plan it well. You’ll go back secretly.”
“Secretly?” Xia Ling said. “Why? I could just tell Brother Pei directly that I want to go back to China and get him to send me back.”
“Are you sure he’ll agree to it?” Xia Yu said quietly. “The last time you wanted to change rooms with me, he still forced you to live next to him. If you tell him, you might not be able to get away. You might even be punished by him, Sister. Are you willing to do that?”
