CEO's Substitute Bride

For a moment, Ning Xia's brain was a vast expanse of whiteness. She couldn't say anything.    

He didn't know what to say either.    

The air suddenly became quiet. They could hear each other's breathing.    

Ning Xia's vision became blurry. That was her stain, a memory she didn't want to touch for the rest of her life.    

"Pei Yichen, if I told you that I was wronged, would you believe me?"    

The little kitten, who had always been jumping, now no longer showed its fangs and brandishing its claws. It no longer looked soft and cute. All that was left was its weak cry and resistance, but was powerlessly overwhelmed by reality.    

Pei Yichen suddenly regretted mentioning the memories that she didn't want to touch. Looking at how she bit her lower lip and tried so hard not to cry, Pei Yichen's heart couldn't help but throb.    

"I believe you."    

These simple words made Ning Xia burst into tears.    

This man who didn't know what had happened was the first to believe in himself.    

He didn't know anything, yet he said the words "I believe you" to himself. If there had been someone who could have said these words to him back then, how great it would have been.    

She had tried to fight back before, but all she had received was only scorn as she mercilessly passed down sentence after sentence.    

The old classmates, the hardworking gardeners, had ruined her beautiful future.    

"Xia, tell me what happened that day. I'll help you investigate the truth and return your innocence."    

Pei Yichen frowned. Things have already been going on for so long, according to Ning Xia's personality, she should have stopped caring about it. However, with Ning Xia's reaction, it could only mean that what happened back then was not as simple as they thought.    

As she cried, Ning Xia couldn't help but grin.    

She shook her head. She was already satisfied with Pei Yichen's trust. As for the rest, she didn't need to think about it anymore.    

It had been so long since all the evidence and details had been erased that it was even harder to find the truth than to ascend to heaven.    

If only he knew Pei Yichen earlier …    

Pei Yichen walked to her side and carried the weeping girl in his arms. In the future, he would protect her well.    

Ning Xia's emotions came and went as quickly as they came. She didn't want to be entangled with matters of the past anymore. At least for now, wasn't she living a good life?    

"Alright, let's eat. After dinner, let's go for a walk."    

Ning Xia's nose was a little stuffy. After crying, her eyes turned red like a rabbit's. This time, Pei Yichen was like an obedient child, drinking all the vegetable soup.    

"Didn't you say it was dark food?"    

"You made it, I'll drink it even if it's poison."    

Pei Yichen rubbed her head and took the initiative to wash the dishes. In such a simple day, as long as he was with Ning Xia, no matter how plain it was, it would always become very interesting.    

It was indeed easy to be satisfied with living in a room with two people eating three meals at all seasons.    

She suspected that in her previous life, she was a nun who had burned incense and worshipped buddhas for a lifetime. That was why she met such a handsome, golden-haired man who was even willing to do housework.    

It seemed like the male god in her dreams of marrying thousands of young girls...    

Ning Xia looked like she had picked up a big bargain, which made Pei Yichen a little uncomfortable. "Idiot, let's go for a walk."    

Pei Yichen was speechless and forced her head out. He had been stared at by Ning Xia for a long time and always felt like he was a bowl of food. At any moment, Ning Xia would pounce on him like a hungry wolf.    

Ever since the last incident, the Pei Family Villa had increased the security and patrolling outside. Inside the villa, the lights were even brighter, causing Ning Xia to sigh with emotion from time to time. She felt somewhat at ease, this really wasn't something that could be done with money …    

Three days later, Yin Qingfeng looked at the note in her pocket and sighed. She really didn't want to do this kind of errand for others.    

However, thinking that Ning Xia's husband could still help her, she had no choice but to protect this "best friend" of hers.    

She got up and prepared to go to the department store to get the silver bracelet. She really didn't understand, such an ordinary bracelet was worth sending to Ning Xia to clean up.    

Yin Qingfeng stood in front of the mirror and revealed a smile. She didn't have Ning Xia's exquisite features, but she also had a delicate face that was approachable. She clearly knew that with her looks, it was the easiest for men to protect her.    

No matter when or where, she would dress herself up beautifully so that she would be in her best condition when she met her prince charming.    

"Boss, I'm here to get the bracelet that I cleaned a few days ago."    

Yin Qingfeng's smile always made it easy for people to let down their guard.    

The cleaner took a look at the stub book she handed over and immediately went to get the bracelet. "Take a look, it's the same as the new one!"    

Yin Qingfeng was not interested in this bracelet, so she smiled and left.    

The teacher looked at Yin Qingfeng's back and suddenly smacked his forehead. It seemed that when this bracelet was delivered to them, it was delivered to them by another young lady. Later on, the teacher had called her, a friend, to fill in the information.    

The master looked at the stub in his hand, then silently put it away. He didn't want to trouble the other little girl if she couldn't find it.    

Yin Qingfeng held this pair of bracelets in her hands. On this small bracelet, there was an intricately carved lotus flower. It looked very ancient, but all of a sudden, she felt that it was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.    

Yin Qingfeng frowned as she stared at it closely. Suddenly, an image appeared in her mind —    

In the orphanage, little Ning Xia sat on the swing, holding the bracelet to the sun, as if she could see the flowers.    

"Why do you keep looking at this bracelet in the summer?"    

Little Qingfeng stood at her side, feeling a bit curious. It seemed that ever since she came, this girl had always been quietly sitting at the side, quietly looking at that bracelet and never playing with them.    

"Mother dean said that she left this place to me. Perhaps in the future, I will rely on this bracelet to find mother."    

That was the first time she met Ning Xia. Later on, she found out that the reason why she was called summer was because the lotus grew up during the summer. She had always been waiting for her mother to reunite with her.    

However, Ning Xia suffered from a serious illness and had completely forgotten about the bracelet after she woke up. She had become more cheerful …
