CEO's Substitute Bride

Ning Xia thought of her child and was about to get up to rest when the doorbell suddenly rang. Ning Xia and Leaves looked at each other. They didn't know who would come to the party like this.    

    

Leaves tiptoed over to the peephole and took a look. She turned her head to look at Ning Xia with some surprise and mouthed the two words, "President Pei".    

    

Ning Xia frowned. She didn't know why, but she really didn't want to meet Pei Yichen right now.    

    

He didn't know how to face him, how to start talking about the baby.    

    

"I'm not here."    

    

Ning Xia made a gesture with her mouth, then she took light steps and walked into the room. She was very tired and wanted to sleep. She didn't want to think about it anymore.    

    

But the doorbell kept ringing, one after the other, which made them a little irritable.    

    

Ning Xia, who had just reached the bedroom door, clenched her teeth. In fact, she would have to face it sooner or later!    

    

Ning Xia turned around and walked to the door with her hand on the doorknob. The scene of Pei Yichen holding Lin Qingfeng's hand was still lingering in her mind. She told herself not to think about it, but she couldn't stop herself.    

    

Ning Xia took a deep breath and opened the door. At first glance, she saw Pei Yichen, who was standing tall and straight at the door.    

    

His face was dark to the extreme, and there were traces of anger in his eyes.    

    

"Why aren't you answering the phone?"    

    

This was the first sentence Pei Yichen said to Ning Xia after he hadn't seen her for more than a month.    

    

Ning Xia's nose was a little sour, but she pressed her palm firmly against it to prevent herself from shedding tears.    

    

She carefully savored this sentence as a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face.    

    

Pei Yichen frowned. He didn't know why Ning Xia had such an expression on her face. He had been waiting in the shop until midnight, but Ning Xia still hadn't come. He also didn't know how to call her.    

    

"Pei Yichen, what identity do you have to interrogate me now? Who gave you the right to question me like that! "    

    

All the previous calmness in Ning Xia had been shattered. She loudly shouted as she looked at the man in front of her who caused her so much pain.    

    

Pei Yichen obviously didn't expect that Ning Xia would yell at him like that. He frowned and his voice became gentler, "Xia, what happened?"    

    

"Don't call me Xia, I feel disgusted!"    

    

Ning Xia sniffed with her nose. What was she doing being so gentle to him now? Was she going to continue being a fool?    

    

"Pei Yichen, I was wrong about you. You're just a trash, I don't want to see you again!"    

    

As she spoke, Ning Xia was about to close the door. Right now, she only wanted to get away from this guy.    

    

Pei Yichen's hand reached in without any hesitation and was caught in the middle by Ning Xia.    

    

"Ning Xia, I'm sorry. My attitude just now wasn't good, but I've been waiting for you for a whole day and I haven't seen anyone. I'm a bit worried."    

    

Pei Yichen's voice returned to its former gentleness towards her. He thought that there must be a reason why Ning Xia suddenly acted like this.    

    

When Ning Xia saw that the back of his hand was already swollen and red, she subconsciously reached for the door handle. In that instant, she admitted that she had softened her heart.    

    

"Ning Xia, can we go home?"    

    

He really missed her these days.    

    

Ning Xia sighed, "I want to stay here for the night. If you have anything to say, say it tomorrow. Give me some time."    

    

She needed time. She needed to think about how she should continue to talk to him.    

    

What to say about the past, what to say about the present.    

    

Pei Yichen frowned. He wanted to forcefully bring Ning Xia away. No matter what happened, they should deal with it face to face, not with the way things were now.    

    

Moreover, he really couldn't understand why Ning Xia would suddenly turn out like this. A few hours ago, they were still happily on the phone.    

    

"What happened?"    

    

When Ning Xia heard his tone, she got angry. 'What happened? Don't you have any points in your heart?'    

    

"Pei Yichen, let me tell you seriously, I need some things to deal with my emotions before I can properly talk about this with you. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the company to find you. Now, please leave."    

    

Ning Xia stubbornly raised her head, trying to prevent herself from thinking about those random things.    

    

Pei Yichen frowned. Ning Xia was currently unstable. He knew that it was useless to say anything more. He might as well let her calm down first before talking about other things.    

    

"Alright, I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you at the office tomorrow morning."    

    

After Pei Yichen left, Ning Xia finally felt that her breathing became smoother. Facing Pei Yichen, she always felt that she didn't even have the courage to question him anymore.    

    

She didn't even realize it herself. She felt the fear in her heart and was afraid that Pei Yichen would say something bad that she didn't want to hear.    

    

Seeing the weird atmosphere between the two of them, Leaves couldn't help but say, "Ning Xia, I don't know what happened to make you guys so sad, but can you use your brain a little. Pei Yichen was so nice to you before, was it all an act?"    

    

"That's because before this, Lin Qingfeng hasn't appeared. Now, Lin Qingfeng …"    

    

As the words reached the tip of her tongue, Ning Xia was unable to say anything. When she heard Ye Wen's words, her jaw dropped. She even began to imagine some scenes.    

    

"Lie down. Are you sure? This sort of thing isn't something that can be casually said. "    

    

She knew Lin Qingfeng wasn't a good person, but she didn't think that she could stretch her hand so long and reach President Pei!    

    

"I saw it with my own eyes."    

    

She rubbed her forehead in annoyance. She also wanted to convince herself, but she had seen Pei Yichen's actions with her own eyes. How could she make herself believe Pei Yichen?    

    

Leaves was shocked, but she also quickly thought about the cause and effect, "Summer, sometimes, what the eyes see may not be the truth. We have to look carefully."    

    

Ning Xia was a little stunned as she looked at Leaves. The two of them had known each other for many years, but Leaves rarely called her Xia. She said that this was her painful memory, and that she didn't want to call her by her name because she had no one to rely on in the orphanage.    

    

For the past few years, she had been calling out to Ning Xia, occasionally calling out to Xia in a bored manner.    

    

Now that he had suddenly called her that, Ning Xia had no choice but to take her words seriously.    

    

Do you want to see it?    

    

Thinking of the little by little things that happened between her and Pei Yichen, Ning Xia helplessly closed her eyes. There were crystal clear tears that rolled down from the corners of her eyes.    

    

"I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep first."    

    

When Ning Xia returned to her room, she curled up in bed. She suddenly felt that this world was very scary, and the people around her were also very scary.    

    

Leaves sighed helplessly. It seemed that things were not as simple as she had imagined. What could she do for Ning Xia …
