Thus, Li Lei smiled happily.
After he smiled, he audaciously asked her, “Have you moved all of your things over? Once you do, sell your house and don’t ever go back. Our family of three and Xiao Rui won’t be able to stay in such a small villa anyway.”
Suddenly, Xia Ling realized his true intentions. “Are you… jealous?” From her angle, through the bright glass window, a corner of Pei Ziheng’s villa could be seen.
Li Lei honestly admitted it. “I don’t like you living so close to him. I’ve already locked Su Tang in the hospital, so you should stay as far away from Pei Ziheng as possible, ok?”
Thinking about it, Xia Ling felt that he made sense.
They were already married. There was no need to let her beloved man feel uncomfortable over such minor issues. Besides, she was pregnant now and, considering the experience she had with Shaohui’s birth, she was also really worried that Pei Ziheng would do something again.
As such, the next day, the two of them packed up and moved out.
There were not many things that needed to be moved. The important things were her clothes, Shaohui’s toys, and Hairball the cat. They finished packing up very quickly, and just as they were about to move, Xia Ling found something in the cupboard. It was a beautifully carved box. When she opened it, she realized that it was filled with various bracelets, necklaces, earrings, hair accessories, dresses, handbags, scarves, and bank cards.
They were all items that Pei Ziheng gave her.
A very long time ago, she sealed all the items that man gave her. The value of these things was enough for a few rich families to live comfortably. She gently stroked the valuable items with her long and white fingers. Unknowingly, she sighed emotionally. In a flash, so many turbulent times had passed…
Behind her, there were footsteps. “Xiao Ling?”
Xia Ling turned around and saw Li Lei. She continued to stand beside the box without moving. Narrowing her eyes, she sighed. “These things are not suited to be moved to our new house.”
Li Lei walked over and looked at them.
He easily understood their origin.
“Return them to him?” He gritted his teeth and suggested.
However, Xia Ling shook her head. She did not want to see that man ever again. She touched the items again and finally made a decision. “Bury them in the backyard.” Let their history be buried with them in the dirt and remain forever uncovered.
Li Lei nodded. This was already a compromise.
He helped her move the items downstairs, dug a hole in the middle of the rose bushes in the backyard, and placed the box inside.
It was covered with layers of soil.
Her face was stained with mud. After she placed the last layer of soil on the box, there was a slight sorrow in her eyes. In the bottom of her heart, something was empty. She said to herself silently, “Goodbye, Pei Ziheng.”
A gust of wind blew.
The rose petals were scattered.
Behind a courtyard wall, a man was watching them from his study window on the second floor. He wore a finely crafted gray plaid shirt with a vest of the safe color. His tall figure resembled a god’s and his cold facial features were like a knife in the dim light.
He looked at the couple in the rose bushes and grabbed the window frame unknowingly.
Xiao Ling…
Are you going to move? To be with him? Are you going to move somewhere I can never see you again?
His heart shattered. Pei Ziheng only felt his heart throbbing and he almost could not bear it. His face turned pale and even his breathing stagnated. His eyes gradually became gloomy.
“Mister…” At the door, Nanny Zhou called him worriedly.
She already heard from the servant next door that Miss Ling would be moving out today and she was already pregnant. Very soon, her second child with Mr. Li would be born. Nanny Zhou looked at Mister with a distressed look. He really should not be wasting time on that woman!
As if he did not notice that Nanny Zhou was there, Pei Ziheng continued to look at them in silence.
He saw how that man gently put her hair behind her ear when the wind messed it up. She smiled, said something, and placed her hand gently on his lower abdomen.
Thus, that man also smiled and gently held her.
“She’s pregnant,” Pei Ziheng said with certainty.
Nanny Zhou’s heart skipped a beat. Who was the one with the sharp tongue? Mister must feel awful after hearing this news. She could not help but ask him, “Who told you that? It’s not…”
However, Pei Ziheng said, “I know.”
His voice was very dark but his tone was firm. He was familiar with her appearance and expression. He knew how happy she looked when she was pregnant—that look was irreplaceable.
She buried all of the things he gave her and was pregnant with another man’s child.
Pei Ziheng’s heart hurt even more and he slightly bent down.
Nanny Zhou said, “Mister, don’t look at them anymore. You have not hung up the overseas phone call yet and there are some people waiting for you to return to the conference call.” He was in a meeting when he heard the sound of a vehicle in the neighboring villa and immediately ditched the important directors to look silently at the scene.
Pei Ziheng lowered his voice. “Help me end the call.”
After that, there was a gust of wind. He looked as if he could not even withstand the small breeze. He suddenly held the wall and coughed. After coughing for a long time, he looked very out of breath. Nanny Zhou quickly rushed over to pat his back. He only slowly recovered after some time.
“Mister, how about you visit the hospital?” Nanny Zhou was heartbroken. “Recently, you’ve been coughing a lot and you look worn out. You can’t go on like this…”
However, he ignored Nanny Zhou and walked down the stairs step by step.
“Mister! Mister, where are you going?!” Nanny Zhou anxiously called and quickly chased after him.
In front of the villa.
Xia Ling was in Li Lei’s arms as she watched the chauffeur and servants move the boxes away. She was happy and lazy. However, inadvertently, she noticed a man walking out from his villa next door. He was wearing a gray plaid shirt that she gave him a long time ago. It was already very old and there were unwashable stains in the corners. However, he still cherished it and ironed it properly.
He walked towards them step by step.
Unknowingly, she escaped Li Lei’s arms and stood up straight.
Li Lei frowned but did not stop her. He only looked at Pei Ziheng with hostility. “What are you doing?”
Pei Ziheng ignored him and focused his gaze on Xia Ling. Sure enough, she looked like she was going to be a mother. There was a beautiful tranquility in her eyes. She was so beautiful. She lifted her head in the sunlight to look at him like the way she did when they first met many years ago. It was distant but moving.
He heart violently hurt again.
