Li Xiwu looked up at him and asked tentatively, “Although you didn’t say anything and silently arranged everything for me, 1 never asked you how you felt. Are you… still angry?”
Pei Jingzhou laughed. “l didn’t show my face and didn’t ask. Does that mean
I’m angry in your eyes?”
Li Xiwu nodded. “Mm.”
“Then it seems that I should personally bring you to see Jiang Ce and not leave out all the content of your conversation. Does that mean that I’m not angry anymore?” he asked her with a hint of amusement in his tone.
Li Xiwu bit her lower lip and remained silent.
Pei Jingzhou pulled her into his arms. “I’m not angry.”
Li Xiwu was stunned. “Huh?”
Pei Jingzhou said gently, “Jiang Ce is a psychiatrist. It’s very good to talk to you. If I’m by your side, it will affect you, so I didn’t show my face. I didn’t ask you because I wanted to hear you talk about it. I was very happy to see the changes after your conversation with Jiang Ce.”
Li Xiwu felt a lump in her throat. She raised her hand and knocked Pei
Jingzhou’s arm. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Pei Jingzhou lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “Go. I’ll pick you up when it’s over.’
Li Xiwu looked up. “Then I’ll go in first?”
“Mm.” Pei Jingzhou looked at her.
Just as Li Xiwu was about to retreat from his arms, she realized that she could not move. Pei Jingzhou’s arm did not let go. She suddenly smiled brightly and raised her head to kiss Pei Jingzhou’s lips.
Only then was Pei Jingzhou satisfied. He let go of her slightly and Li Xiwu left his arms. She turned around and got out of the car. Chen Xin had already gotten out of the car and was waiting outside. Seeing Li Xiwu get out of the car, he watched her enter the restaurant before closing the car door and getting in.
After getting into the driver’s seat, Chen Xin asked, “Mr. Pei, where to next?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “Wait opposite.”
Chen Xin was stunned. “Wait… Opposite?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “There are many restaurants nearby. Pick a place to eat.”
Chen Xin wanted to persuade Mr. Pei to go eat with him, but he swallowed his words and drove to the opposite side of the road to park.
Li Xiwu had just entered the restaurant when she saw Jiang Ce waiting for her. This restaurant was very close to the cafe just now. They were all back-to-back with the central business district, and the dining environment was very quiet.
Seeing that Li Xiwu was the only one coming in, Jiang Ce stood up and pulled out a seat for her. After Li Xiwu sat down, he asked, “Is Mr. Pei not here?”
Li Xiwu said, “No, he has something else.”
Jiang Ce nodded, then handed the order to Li Xiwu. “l ordered three dishes. Mrs. Pei, you can order the rest.”
Li Xiwu didn’t stand on ceremony. She took the order and flipped through it seriously.
Realizing that there were three prawn noodles in this cafeteria, Li Xiwu ordered one. The attendant was about to write it down when Li Xiwu stood up and pulled the attendant to the side. She whispered a few words before borrowing the paper in the attendant’s hand to write down the license plate number.
Then, she took out three pieces of cash from her bag and handed them to the attendant. “Thank you for your hard work.”
The attendant took the cash and quickly shook his head. “No, no. I’ll deliver the Three Shrimp Noodles according to your arrangements.”
Li Xiwu smiled faintly, then turned around and sat down. Jiang Ce did not know what Li Xiwu had just talked to the attendant about. He only asked, “Mrs. Pei, have you ordered?”
Li Xiwu nodded. “Yes, I’ve ordered.’
Ten minutes later, outside the Bentley on the other side of the road, a person dressed as a restaurant attendant was walking around ‘sneakily’. Pei Jingzhou looked up but did not lower the window.
Until the man plucked up the courage to knock on the window.
The car window slowly rolled down. Pei Jingzhou looked at the ‘sneaky’ person outside the car. “What’s the matter?”
The man asked, “Are you the car owner of Jingzhou?” Perhaps because Pei Jingzhou’s aura was too cold, that person did not dare to look straight at him. When he asked this, his voice was very soft, like a mosquito.
Pei Jingzhou did not answer. He was about to roll up the window.
The person outside the car mustered his courage. “A lady named Miss Li asked me to come over…”
Before he could finish, the car window rolled down again. Pei Jingzhou looked up at that person. “Miss Li?”
“Yes, yes.” Seeing that the words Miss Li were useful, the person hurriedly picked up the cardboard box in his hand. “Miss Li asked me to send this bowl of Three Shrimp Noodles to the owner of the car with the license plate number Jing.oooo. She said that this car is parked diagonally opposite the restaurant.”
Pei Jingzhou: ‘
The man was all ready to hand it in through the car window. At this moment, the car door opened and Pei Jingzhou reached out his hand. “Give it to me.”
The person quickly handed the Three Shrimp Noodles wrapped in a paper box to Pei Jingzhou. “Miss Li has already paid. Take your time.”
With that, he slipped away.
Pei Jingzhou closed the car door and looked at the Three Shrimp Noodles in his hand. The outer packaging of the restaurant was very exquisite. The box containing the noodles was made of antibacterial and heat-resistant materials. The chopsticks and soup spoon were also standard in the restaurant.
His lips curved unconsciously as he remembered that she was the one who had ordered the Three Shrimp Noodles the previous time.
In the restaurant, as Li Xiwu ate, she thought that Pei Jingzhou should be eating too, right? This man was always like this. She had just been careful and secretly observed. Pei Jingzhou’s car did not drive away. It was only parked
opposite. He really thought that she could not see it.
She stood for a while longer, wanting to see if Pei Jingzhou would get out of the car. In the end, she only saw Chen Xin get out of the car and leave, She knew Pei Jingzhou very well. She knew that he wouldn’t order takeout himself, and it was impossible for him to get Chen Xin to bring him food. There were restaurants nearby. If he wanted to eat, he could just go to one.
The only explanation was that Pei Jingzhou had no intention of eating lunch.
How worrisome.
Seeing that Li Xiwu was distracted, Jiang Ce did not disturb her until she came back to her senses and took the initiative to ask, “Doctor Jiang, am I going to your clinic in the afternoon?”
Jiang Ce put down his cutlery and picked up the warm water beside him to take a sip. He said seriously, “If Mrs. Pei has such plans today.”
Li Xiwu was almost done eating when she put down her cutlery. “I’ve already thought about it. Today.”
Jiang Ce nodded. “Okay, I’ll take you to the clinic later.”
Later on, Li Xiwu realized that Jiang Ce l s psychologic clinic was not far away. It seemed to be a triangle around the cafe and restaurant. Perhaps because of this location, there was no hustle and bustle in the city center here.
After arriving at Jiang Ce’s psychological clinic, Li Xiwu got out of the car and followed Jiang Ce in. She walked slowly and looked back. She did not see Pei Jingzhou’s car. She knew that he would come. Perhaps he was in a hidden corner outside. He was always like this, silently guarding behind her no matter what.
Jiang Ce led her into a well-lit room. There were no electronic devices, only a recliner and a table with unlit incense.
Jiang Ce gestured to her. “Mrs. Pei, just lie down. Don’t be nervous.”
How could she not be nervous? Not only was she nervous, but she was also apprehensive. She lay down on the recliner as Jiang Ce had instructed.
Jiang Ce turned around and stood in front of the table, fiddling with the incense. “There’s no need for a treatment for hypnotic memories. You’ll slowly fall asleep next. I’ll wake up all your memories during this period. When you wake up, you’ll need a long time to accept these memories. Are you ready?”
“I’m ready.” Li Xiwu thought that she was alone now. She did not know that in just two days, Pei Jingzhou had made a lot of preparations for her without her knowing anything.
At this moment, there was a wall between them. Pei Jingzhou was outside. Other than him, there were also her children, her grandmother, and her aunt, as well as Qiao Qiao, who had rushed back from Xingzhou..
