Chapter 1016: Silver Bracelet

Pei Ziheng frowned slightly. “How many times do you want me to say it? I won’t abandon you.”

She lowered her head slightly and felt that she shouldn’t be like this. Why was she always questioning his sincerity? But happiness had come too suddenly and she was still thinking that it was all a big gorgeous dream.

Was she worthy of all these?

How could she not suffer from any losses?

Her thoughts were complex as she held his hand and got into the car. She heard him instruct the driver in a warm voice. “Notify Secretary Li to postpone this afternoon’s meeting. Go to the old silver workshop first.”

The old silver workshop was the best silver shop in S City.

They got off the car and entered. Pei Ziheng picked out a very minimalist silver bracelet and put it on her to test it out. He said to the clerk, “Engrave the initials of our family name on the inside as well as the four words ‘Never Leave Each Other’.”

It was done on the spot.

He put it on her again and told her, “When you’re afraid that I’ll abandon you again, just look at this bracelet. Remember what I said. I’ll never ever abandon you.”

At that moment, the silver bracelet on her wrist seemed to glow slightly, reflecting the man’s solemn expression.

Xia Ling looked at the bracelet and then at him again. She nodded solemnly.

The small bracelet seemed to fill an empty void in her heart. At night, Pei Ziheng worked overnight in the company and Xia Ling tossed and turned in her bed, playing with the silver bracelet on her wrist, unable to fall asleep. She could not suppress the joy in her heart, and she called Xia Yu. “Hey, Xiao Yu, do you know what happened? Today, Brother Pei gave me a silver bracelet.”

Her voice carried her smile.

At the other end of the phone, Xia Yu was jealous, yet she still said softly, “Silver bracelet? Sister, I heard that silverwares are very cheap and that rich people don’t wear it often. Their favorite are diamonds, platinum and the like. Why would Brother Pei give you silver?”

Xia Ling did not register the maliciousness in her words. She said with a smile, “When I was having dinner, Nanny Zhou told me that silver is good. It can judge whether your body is healthy according to its color. He said that Brother Pei treats me very well and is even willing to pay attention to these tiny details. Also, I’m just a child, and it’ll break my luck easily if I wear expensive accessories.”

Xia Yu’s heart felt sour. “Nanny Zhou is his servant, obviously she would speak for him.”

Xia Ling turned over comfortably on her soft bed and did not think too much about her words. “I think Nanny Zhou was right. Besides, I like silver. I like whatever Brother Pei gives me.” She held her wrist high in the air and stared at the resplendent ray of light. She felt like the happiest person in the world.

Xia Yu could not speak above her. She felt as though a thorn had stabbed itself into her heart, and it made her so miserable she could not fall asleep.

On the second day of breakfast, Pei Ziheng told Xia Ling, “You don’t have to go to etiquette class anymore.”

Xia Ling was shocked. “Why?”

Pei Ziheng said, “I have hired a private teacher for you. Ms. Sofia has previously taught several princesses from the small Eastern European countries and she has her own original views on etiquette.”

Xia Ling was a little uneasy. She put down her fork and looked at him. “Brother Pei, do you think I’m not qualified to go to class with Jingyu and the rest?”

Pei Ziheng said gently, “Silly, they’re not worthy of you.” He would not let his beloved girl suffer even a little bit of grievance. Since she was unable to get along with the group of arrogant girls, then she would simply not. The new teacher he found for her was more knowledgeable and remarkable than Teacher Gao. Everything he gave her was the best.

The matter was settled like this. Xia Ling was to have her own etiquette teacher.

Ms. Sofia was indeed different from Teacher Gao. On the first day of class, she looked very appreciatively at Xia Ling and smiled. “Miss, you have a very unique beauty that is unforgettable. We learn etiquette not to constrain this beauty, but to make it bloom to its fullest extent.”

She did expect Xia Ling to use those rigid uses and regulations. Instead, she combined the unique characteristics of Xia Ling and taught according to her aptitude. This made the etiquette class become extremely interesting and effective.

If it was said that the various virtuous ladies taught by Teacher Gao were all stereotypical and repetitive, like a soulless puppet who only knew how to conform to the rules of etiquette, then Xia Ling, who was polished by Ms. Sofia, was a brilliant, unique diamond with many intricacies and tiny fine ridges. Each ridge became her own special charm.

“Miss has become more beautiful.” Nanny Zhou smiled.

As a servant, she did not know much about the noble etiquette. She only knew that Xia Ling’s body radiated a little bit of radiance. From a slovenly dressed and mannered brat, she had turned into a rose that had thorns. She was beautiful and elegant, yet possessed a sort of enchanting mysteriousness. Her beauty carried wind and rain. It was bright and dangerous.

It was so so unique that it was unforgettable.

Xia Ling heard Nanny Zhou’s praise and smiled happily. Girls all loved hearing that they were beautiful, and she was no exception. In her spare time, she would walk along the flowery path along the villa area and pick a large number of wildflowers. Pei Ziheng and Ms. Sofia did not stop her hobby. In this aspect, the two adults’ opinions were surprisingly consistent—everything she liked, let her do it. It was better to let this girl follow her natural instincts.

On this day, she picked wildflowers and hummed a song, preparing to take it back to decorate the luxurious villa.

Pei Ziheng’s villa was mainly black and white and grey, which made it look gloomy and solemn. She had been shocked by this noble style when she’d first came in, but after living for a long time, she felt depressed and monotonous. Hence, she often took the flowers and went back to decorate his house. She even ordered beautiful porcelain and vases from a shopping booklet to decorate his house a little.

She thought, Brother Pei is so good to me, I should do something for him too.

During summer, a wide variety of wildflowers bloomed brilliantly. She picked a bunch of sunflowers and mimosa and was about to go back when she turned around and saw a girl—

Enemies were indeed bound to meet on a narrow road.

A few steps away, Pei Jingyu was wearing a light pearl white silk dress and was about to head out while accompanied by two servants carrying an umbrella. This area was the villa area of the Pei family. Xia Ling had unwittingly came to the door of Pei Jingyu while picking wildflowers on the way.

Pei Jingyu saw her and a sinister look flashed across her face.

Not long ago, Pei Jingyu had been poured hot tea on by Xia Ling and had almost had her face ruined. She had to stay in the hospital for a long time to heal and now that she was meeting her at this moment, how could she possibly look kindly at her.

“Get lost, good dogs don’t block the way!” She screamed arrogantly at Xia Ling.

Xia Ling’s arms were holding onto the large bunches of sunflowers, and her soft little floral dress was stained with dirt and looked dirty. She stood on the side of the road and did not move. Instead, she retorted. “You’re in such a rush to reincarnate?”

“You!” Pei Jingyu was furious. How could this wild brat have such a vicious mouth!
