Why Did My Ex-Wife’S Aunt Treat Me Like That? Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Then allow me to be by your side.

Yuan Yi didn’t know what this invitation meant. She had a strong feeling that she had to stay with Peng Cheng tonight.

Otherwise she would miss out on a lot of things.

This strong consciousness reached its peak when she saw Peng Cheng open the door without warning – Yuan Yi felt that this was a habit after finding Peng Cheng late at night on Jiuhua Mountain.

Just like she always wants to do something to vent after having dreams related to Peng Cheng, Peng Cheng will automatically flash back to Jiuhua Mountain when he reaches this point.

She can’t be allowed to go again, Yuan Yi just thinks so.

Following Peng Cheng’s gaze, she entered the ward again and consciously lay down on the large sofa undressed.

The heating inside is sufficient, so you don’t have to worry about catching a cold if you sleep here.

She looked at Peng Cheng who had followed her in front of her: “Why don’t you go to bed?”

There were still no lights on in the ward, but Yuanyi was already used to the darkness, so she could see.

Peng Cheng didn’t move and asked her: “Do you just want to sleep here?”

“I’m here to watch you sleep.” Yuan Yi tried his best to sound calm in order to cover up his restless heart, “No one will disturb you now, go to sleep.”

Yuan Yi could feel Peng Cheng watching for a while and then walked away.Not long after, a thin and soft blanket covered her body.

“Don’t catch a cold.” Peng Cheng said this.

In the dark, the role of hearing is amplified.Yuanyi heard the slight sound of the hospital bed, and Peng Cheng lay down.

She also closed her eyes and tightened the edges of the blanket, feeling the discomfort caused by her eyes being too dry for the first time in a long time.

I had been looking at the computer screen for too long just now, and now that I had closed my eyes, the information was still dangling before my eyes.

The Peng family has a great business. Ever since Peng Fei got married, the issue of heir has been on the agenda early.Yuan Yi knew that Peng Cheng had a sister, and it was this information that made people focus on digging.

She and He Xun had been together for so long, she had never heard Peng Cheng’s sister mentioned in sleep, nor had she seen her during family activities.

From the gossipy news, we can only see that the Peng family only made Peng Cheng public when she was sixteen years old. After that, she was groomed as an heir. She started to take care of the family affairs until she was eighteen years old. At the age of twenty-three, she officially entered the group, step by step.

This is also easy to understand. Many families are like this. They will only make it official after confirming the character and ability of the heir. This is also for the safety of the children.

What if we pull the timeline forward to before Peng Cheng’s identity was revealed when he was sixteen years old?

No photos of Peng Cheng as a child have leaked out, and confidentiality is tight.After patiently searching, I saw several silhouettes of Peng Fei taking his daughter to participate in sports events. They were blurry photos that were selected and published in a private school’s school magazine.

According to the report in the school magazine, Mrs. Peng is very doting and caring towards her only daughter. No matter how busy she is, she will personally accompany her during parent-child activities.

This is completely different from the way Peng Fei treats Peng Cheng now.In the USB flash drive, there is a restored photo. The girl in the photo looks like fifteen or sixteen years old.

Not Peng Cheng.

The appearance is roughly 40-50% similar, at least the profile is very similar.

Yuan Yi was so impressed by Peng Cheng’s face that even if a twin who looked exactly like Peng Cheng appeared in front of him, Yuan Yi would be able to recognize it.

So that girl is not Peng Cheng, Yuan Yi is very clear.

“Are you asleep?”

Peng Cheng’s quiet question came from the darkness, interrupting Yuan Yi’s thoughts, but Yuan Yi did not answer immediately.

Peng Cheng is like a child, she thought: A child who cannot sleep will repeatedly check whether the person accompanying him is asleep or has left.In fact, she was already very sleepy. As long as she didn’t answer her, she would fall asleep soon.

As expected, Peng Cheng didn’t ask again.

Yuan Yi turned over deliberately and used actions to tell Peng Cheng that she was not asleep. If she wanted to say something, he would listen carefully.

She knew that it was difficult for Peng Cheng to open up and express his true feelings, and she needed an opportunity to pretend to be asleep.In this way, if Peng Cheng felt regretful that he shouldn’t have said those fragile inner thoughts the next day, Yuan Yi could still save face by saying that he was actually asleep and didn’t hear anything.

She knew how to take care of awkward children.

Unexpectedly, Peng Cheng got out of bed again. Yuan Yi could hear all Peng Cheng’s movements. When she heard Peng Cheng stop beside her bed again, her breathing stopped for a moment.

Peng Cheng just bent down and put the blanket back on her body that had slipped halfway because she turned over.

Yuan Yi felt his heart beating loudly, and was even afraid that Peng Cheng would hear it.

Peng Cheng just covered her with the quilt and lay back down again, but her action made Yuan Yi suddenly feel at a loss, and what he was thinking in his head was interrupted.

After a while, Yuan Yi yawned silently. She didn’t expect that she was really sleepy after being covered with a quilt by Peng Cheng. When she was in her room, she still couldn’t sleep, and her eyes were as wide as copper bells.

After a while, Yuanyi felt that the room was really quiet. Now it was her turn to call someone: “Director Cheng.”

What a coincidence.This time no one answered her.

Yuan Yi added: “…Peng Cheng?”

“Well, I didn’t fall asleep.”

Yuan Yi said apologetically: “I thought you were asleep.” She moved a little and had to hold on to the edge of the blanket to prevent it from falling again.

Peng Cheng said: “I thought you were asleep too.”

“…” Yuan Yi was silent. She had the illusion that Peng Cheng was joking with her. She hesitated for a while and asked, “Do you want to say something to me?”

Peng Cheng: “I thought you wanted to say something to me.”

Hey, what are you doing? This is going around and around again, and Yuan Yi knows that he can’t defeat Peng Cheng.

“I want to know why you are in the cemetery during this time. And… your mother, Mrs. Peng, the way she punished you was too cruel. She made you kneel in the ancestral hall in the middle of the night. You are already an adult, how could you do this.” Yuan Yi still said it.

After a moment of silence, Peng Cheng’s voice rang out: “There used to be a custom in Jiuhua Mountain that lit lanterns for the deceased people every year to worship the moon, so that they would no longer suffer.”

Yuan Yi muttered: “What kind of dregs are left behind? Only you rich people believe in this…”

“I am burning a lamp for my sister.” However, there are some additional conditions on Peng Cheng.

Yuan Yi’s expression froze in the darkness. She reacted instantly and said immediately: “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry. She has been dead for many years, but for some reasons, the outside world doesn’t know about it.” Peng Cheng paused, “Is there anything else you want to ask?”

Yuan Yi digested the information and said, “Is your leg caused by the death of your sister?”

Peng Cheng answered quickly: “No.”

Yuan Yi couldn’t bear to ask this again, always feeling like he was digging into Peng Cheng’s sadness again and again.

“When the lanterns are lit, the lanterns are lit. Do you have to kneel down? I have only seen these in TV dramas, and they only appear in some torturous plots.”

Peng Cheng’s voice was slightly hoarse: “My mother believes that sincerity leads to spiritual success.”

Therefore, Peng Cheng had to purchase the items himself, carry them on his back, step up the stairs step by step, and then kneel in the ancestral hall.

When she was younger, she still had to take one step at a time on the last forty-nine steps.

No matter how proud you are, your temperament has been worn away, and in the end you are left with nothing but indifference, letting your body complete its movements mechanically.

“Then do you believe it?”

Peng Cheng did not answer this question, but to Yuan Yi, Peng Cheng’s lack of answer was the answer.

She decided to respect all of Peng Cheng’s choices, including the ones she thought were bad.But if Peng Cheng can obey Peng Fei’s words and go up the mountain to pray, Yuan Yi can go up the mountain again and carry Peng Cheng down the mountain.

They all talk about their own affairs and it doesn’t matter.

Neither of them spoke, and it was quiet for a while. Peng Cheng asked, “It’s my turn to ask.”

Yuan Yi pricked up his ears.

“I want to know the real reason why you were with Xiaoxun at that time?”

“Money.” Yuan Yi had no intention of hiding it from Peng Cheng, and with Peng Cheng’s methods, by the time she could ask this question, she might have already investigated all her details.

“Aren’t you sincere?”

“Yes, if you think feeling grateful when receiving charity can be regarded as love, then it must be more than a little bit. She was not like this to me when I first got together with He Xun. She also weaved many beautiful dreams for me. I felt very happy at that time.”

“At that time, I also felt that I really hoped that she could love me. Well… maybe not really. I really hope that everyone can love me. I still gave my sincerity in the early stage.”

This sentence was false, but she couldn’t tell Peng Cheng the truth. It was when He Xun saved her in the snowy field that she truly showed her sincerity.

Peng Cheng knew that no one could see him in the darkness, but he still frowned.The purpose of her question was not to hear Yuan Yi describe it in detail.

“Why are you approaching me again?”

“Repay the favor.”

“Just repaying a favor?”

Yuan Yi felt that the room was a little hot for no reason. She stretched out her arms and pressed them on the blanket, wringing her fingers and humming, “Yes.”

“Okay, then I will accept your three hundred thousand, and your repayment is over now.” Peng Cheng’s voice was calm, like an eternal glacier, “Will you show up again in the future?”

Yuan Yi: “…Yes.”

“Reason.”

“You have to charge interest for three hundred thousand, and I will decide the interest. If I say the favor is not repaid, it is not repaid.” Yuan Yi finished all this in one breath, and later realized that his voice was a little impatient.

She was afraid that if Peng Cheng really asked her to leave, then she would have to put in a lot of effort and she might not be able to have this kind of heart-to-heart talk with Peng Cheng.

After a while, I heard Peng Cheng laugh quietly.The laughter was clear and short, but this was the first time in these ridiculous two days that Yuan Yi felt relieved from Peng Cheng’s voice, as if some burden had been let go.

Peng Cheng: “Actually, you don’t owe me anything.”

“Who said that? I still owe you a photo.” Yuan Yi retorted, “I just saw that reply letter some time ago, and it was collected by Ms. Sun when I was in high school. Peng Cheng, I want to give you the blessing of everything going well again, and you will do the same.”

Peng Cheng smiled again, his voice seemed helpless: “That’s a blessing for you, you can’t give it to me again, I don’t want it.”

She thought about the arguments between Yao Runzhi and Yuan Yi at night. It seemed that her brief words had no effect. How could she take away this meager blessing again.

Yuan Yi also curved his lips to outline a silent smile: “Then allow me to be by your side, and I will wrap you with all my blessings.”

She still meant what she said in her letter back then, but Yuan Yi was a little embarrassed to say it now, after all, her words when she was young were too average.

Peng Cheng must make a journey of thousands of miles.

She can’t have her legs broken under the wheel. She will go far and fly high.

I didn’t hear Peng Cheng’s answer for a long time.

But Yuanyi understood her and knew that Peng Cheng was tacitly agreeing. It seemed that Peng Cheng was really willing to trust her.

Yuan Yi had received a lot of precious news today. She yawned quietly and whispered: “Good night Peng Cheng.”

“Good night Yuanyi.” Peng Cheng replied.

This is a ward, but there is an air that makes Yuanyi feel at ease. As long as she is around Peng Cheng, even the smell of disinfectant will do, and she will fall asleep really quickly.

It’s a pity that God didn’t give her a good night’s sleep, so Yuanyi fell into a dream again.

It was even worse than when she saw Peng Cheng walking alone in the snow before.

Peng Cheng.

What are you doing down here?

You should leave——

She was not from a third perspective, but felt the burning and coldness straight up.

A rescue rope had been tied to her body, and Yuan Yi felt that her body was hard, as if she had been frozen, and as if she had been dead for a long time.

Without vision, Yuanyi only heard the familiar voice: “I will take you out.”

It’s Peng Cheng.

Little by little, his body slowed down in the warm embrace, but Yuan Yi felt so desperate.

When Peng Cheng came down to rescue himself, it was snowing outside, and the footprints were soon covered, as pure as if no one had been there.

She couldn’t remember how she went back at all, but she was sure at this moment that everything in her dream had really happened until now.

Peng Cheng’s arms were so hot.

A person who is so cold turns out to be so hot in his arms.Yuan Yi knew that Peng Cheng was in poor health and it was freezing cold. How long had she been looking for her before she found him?

She was also tied tightly to Peng Cheng. She didn’t know whether Peng Cheng was encouraging her or telling her to listen. He kept saying in her ear: “I will take you out.”

I believe you.Yuan Yi said in her heart that she couldn’t speak, as if something had sealed her dry throat.

Yuan Yi still couldn’t see, and she couldn’t open her eyes even with great effort, but she knew that Peng Cheng was pulling the two of them up the snow cave.

The progress is very slow, it is very cold here, and Peng Cheng will be in danger if he wears it out any longer. How can her legs bear it?

Suddenly, Yuan Yi felt something startling flash through his mind, but before he could think further, the feeling of weightlessness from falling suddenly hit him.

She had no time to make a sound, let alone catch the people around her, when Yuanyi woke up.

A head of sweat.

Before she even had time to wipe her own sweat, she looked at the man standing on the balcony with wide eyes.

The curtains had been opened halfway, and the city light filtered in from the outside, stretching the shadow behind Peng Cheng very long.

now.

Yuan Yi’s dazed consciousness could only see Peng Cheng’s fingertips that were white from clinging to the railing, and his body that seemed ready to cross.

“No!” Yuan Yi squawked like a duck and rushed toward the balcony in a panic.
