    Chapter 96

    After a few days of peaceful life, Xu Zhiyi almost forgot about the incident Xu Yunyun mentioned.

    Get up early and work hard at work until the afternoon. In the evening, I go to Pei’s Building to work overtime with my lover, and then go home together holding hands.

    Being busy is fulfilling.

    If it hadn’t been for a sudden phone call, she might have forgotten everything related to the Xu family as if she had amnesia.

    “Teacher Xu, the doorman has a package with your name and phone number on it.”

    A colleague kindly reminded me, “It looks quite big and heavy. It’s best to find someone to help you move it.”

    “Package? I didn’t buy anything.”

    Xu Zhiyi was a little puzzled, but still thanked the other party and planned to take it away when he got off work.

    Just in case, she checked her phone and couldn’t find any messages from the courier.

    Could it be that Pei Qingyan had prepared a surprise for her?

    After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only possibility.She suppressed the upturned corners of her lips and tried to immerse herself in the project plan.

    “Mr. Pei, the eternal roses you requested have been delivered. Here are the samples.”

    Assistant Wang held up the beautifully wrapped gift box, and then stepped aside knowingly to watch the boss slowly untie the ribbon.

    The rabbit made of white roses lies quietly in the box, and the sweet floral fragrance fills the air. Every detail is perfect.

    “Very good.” Pei Qingyan’s eyes showed Xu Zhiyi’s joy when he opened the box. His heart felt slightly warm, and his expression softened unconsciously.

    “You did a good job. Go to the finance department to settle the overtime pay.”

    She did not forget to praise her assistant.

    Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her running to the finance office quickly. She took out her mobile phone and was thinking about how to give it to her wife when Xu Zhiyi sent a message first:

    “Ayan, can you… come back early today?”

    She didn’t think much and replied “ok”.

    ——Did my wife predict in advance that she had prepared a gift?

    Sure enough, there is a tacit understanding.

    At around seven o’clock, Pei Qingyan opened the door excitedly, expecting to see Xu Zhiyi busy in the kitchen.However, except for the lights being on, everything was very different from usual.

    “Wife?”

    She walked quickly to the bedroom with the door closed.When I reached the door, I unconsciously stepped lightly.

    Xu Zhiyi might have fallen asleep waiting for her.The previous few times, she had stared at her wife’s sleeping face, secretly blaming herself.Normally, if nothing happens, she will rush back as soon as possible.

    After all, there is always someone waiting for her at home.

    “Squeak.”

    Under the dim light, the person she misses huddled in the corner, her beautiful little face covered with tears, as if she had just cried.

    In an instant, anger rushed to the top of his head, and Pei Qingyan could hardly control his emotions.

    “Honey, who bullied you?”

    Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Zhiyi blinked his eyes and managed to see his partner clearly through the tears.Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she threw herself into the woman’s arms, her eyes uncontrollably sore.

    She didn’t know how long she had been shaking, but the woman kept caressing her back, whispering in her ear to comfort her, “It’s okay.” She was so gentle that she forgot her sadness, and her violent mood gradually calmed down.

    His breath was filled with the other person’s breath. Xu Zhiyi opened his mouth and struggled to squeeze out a few words, “Ayan, I -”

    The photo held between her fingertips slipped weakly and was caught firmly by the woman, “Is this when my wife was a child?”

    The doll-like little girl smiled innocently at the camera, flanked by a couple with slightly similar eyebrows.

    “Well, I received a package today, which contains the relics of my biological parents.”

    After speaking dryly, Xu Zhiyi turned his head, instinctively unwilling to look at the photo, and murmured in a low voice, “They abandoned me.”

    The tip of her nose was sore, and so were her eyes. She obviously couldn’t cry anymore, but the loss in her heart was like a huge wave, almost swallowing her up.

    “Back then, in order to gain an advantage in the family struggle, they did not hesitate to send me to a competitor to relieve their boredom, just because the other party complimented me as ‘cute’ several times.”

    And this competitor will be her future adoptive parents.

    What was written in the diary was so clear that she couldn’t even explain it.And this absurd “surrender” drama easily determined her fate for the next ten years.

    “They didn’t fight in the end, and unfortunately they lost. They hid abroad incognito and left me in that cannibal home. But everyone in the Xu family knew where I came from – a punching bag with the name of the second lady, a pet, and for so many years, no one was willing to tell me the truth.”

    None.

    They all had the mentality of watching the fun and laughing, watching her being abused over and over again, and even making up for it.

    “I didn’t understand why my adoptive parents hated me so much before, but now I finally know why they insist on beating and scolding me.”

    Even the blood flowing inside her body could be a cause of hatred.

    And this was the only “value” for her to stay in that home.Otherwise, she might have a more terrifying nightmare.

    His smile turned bitter, his voice was tinged with tears, and a feeling of despair filled his heart.She could no longer speak, and her weak body could not help but tremble as she leaned in the woman’s arms.

    His mind was filled with drowsiness, and the hideous and terrifying faces of his adoptive parents flashed through his mind one after another.Similar scenes often appeared in my childhood dreams at midnight.

    When she grew up, she deliberately kept herself from recalling that experience.Cutting off ties with the Xu family is also a clean break with the past.

    But she never expected that her biological parents were the masterminds who pushed her into the abyss.

    If given a choice, she would rather not know all this.It’s better to be in the dark than to be heartbroken.

    “It’s because they don’t deserve to be parents.” Pei Qingyan wiped her tears distressedly. When his fingertips touched the red and swollen corners of his wife’s eyes, his heart felt as if a knife had been cut through him, “It’s not your fault.”

    “But for so many years, they have never come to see me once. Instead, they adopted a child to enjoy the happiness of a family…”

    After giving birth to her, she was treated like a tool and ignored.

    Xu Zhiyi could not continue talking. The huge loss made her nearly aphasic, like a lifeless puppet.

    “Honey, actually I got you a gift today.”

    In order to change the subject, the woman conjured a beautiful gift box into her hand, clumsily pleasing her.

    Not wanting to spoil the other party’s interest, she took out the rose-scented rabbit ornament and placed it in front of her eyes for a closer look.

    “Thank you, Ayan.”

    She gently put the ornaments back and restored the box to its original appearance.

    “I told you that you don’t need to thank me.”

    The woman held her hand, and a steady stream of warmth came from her fingertips, trying to dispel the heavy coldness in her body.

    “Well, have you ever thought…I don’t deserve you to be so nice to me.”

    Xu Zhiyi suddenly felt like her throat was filled with lead, and it was extremely heavy, but she still had to say some words, “Obviously even the people closest to her…”

    Everyone she met in the past had abandoned her.

    “Nonsense.”

    The woman kissed her lips domineeringly, covering her lips with her teeth as usual, and vaguely declared her sovereignty, “The person closest to you is me.”
