Chapter 28 The CEO's Secret Lover 27
As the sun sets, the sky is dyed red by the sunset glow, and the orange-red sunset spreads all over the room.

The doctors walked out of the ward and shook their heads gloomyly at the family members waiting outside the ward.

Pei Jing in the ward held Xia Ling's hand and put it to his lips. He looked at the pale Xia Ling with red eyes. His heart was cut like a knife and he was full of reluctance. He cried and begged Xia Ling, "Please." Don't go, please don't go, please..."

Xia Ling, who was lying on the hospital bed, listened to the people outside the ward crying and banging on the door, her heart beating more and more slowly, and tears ran across her temples from the corners of her eyes and finally melted into her hair.

She pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty, not wanting to cry too ugly, and raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears that were streaming down Pei Jing's face.

Xia Ling closed her eyes slowly, and began to struggle to speak, "I have been dreaming about this day since I was a child. Wearing a wedding dress to be your bride, in the name of your wife, standing in front of people with your arm. I I thought everything would be done step by step and would come true sooner or later. It wasn’t until I saw Ruan Ning beside you that I finally realized that you don’t have me in your heart, and fantasies are fantasies after all. So I hate, I hate that you give me the illusion that you don’t love me, hate Someone took you from me."

"I started... walking with Rong Ting on purpose, wanting you to be jealous. I started to use bitter tricks to make you feel guilty and make you feel bad. I also deliberately dragged you to school, wanting you to relive your memories. I thought I would have a good time , but when you hugged me and apologized over and over again, I began to regret it." She couldn't stop crying, she gently stroked Pei Jing's face with her fingers, and looked at Pei Jing's tearful eyes full of reluctance, "You are my People who have loved since childhood, why should I torture you like this? It’s fine if you don’t love me, as long as you are happy, isn’t it fine?”

She opened her mouth, with blood gushing from her throat, and took a hard breath, the countdown ticking in her ear became faster and faster, "Thank you, for helping me fulfill my dream. Thank you, too, for letting me Every moment of my youth is full of unforgettable beauty. Everyone has a different mission in the world, and I think my mission is to love you once."

After the words fell, Xia Ling didn't speak again.

Pei Jing hugged Xia Ling's gradually cooling body, crying like a beast that had been pierced by thousands of arrows and fell helplessly in the deep forest fog.

There is no more Xia Ling in this world.

There will never be a girl who will love him with her life.

There is no chance to make up for the mistakes he made and the regrets he missed.

Fifteen years later, Ruan Ning was released from prison after serving his sentence, but was kidnapped on his way home and was eventually killed.

Pei Jing, the president of the Pei Group, avenged his wife, and the intentional homicide case caused a sensation throughout the country. After surrendering himself, he was sentenced to ten years in prison.

The endless blue sea.

Wearing a gray jacket, Pei Jing with gray hair bowed his waist, holding a white box in both hands, standing on the beach and looking into the distance.

Without the vigor of his youth, only the vicissitudes left to him by the years are left.

Two students in school uniforms walked by.

With his hands in his pockets, the boy with a handsome face walked in front with his back straight. From time to time, he looked back at the girl behind her who was carrying a beach toy bucket with bare feet, and urged impatiently: "Can you hurry up? Trick me out What are you going to do? After running so far, you won’t be able to attend class in the afternoon.”

The girl ran up to the boy with the shovel in her hand, as if showing off her baby, and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Look! This is the little crab I just dug up! Let's make soup with a crab today." !"

The boy glanced at it, his eyes were full of disdain, "If you want to eat crabs, just ask people to buy them. Is this something worth being so happy about?"

"If only I could live in this house. I can see the sea when I open the window. I'm happy just thinking about it. If anyone buys this house for me in the future, I will marry him!" The girl's eyes were shining, He glanced at the boy expectantly, then turned his head to look longingly at the repainted white apartment building 500 meters away.

The boy snorted and smiled, "With your current state, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get into college. It will be difficult to find a job to support yourself in the future, and you still want to buy a house here? You don't know how expensive the house here is, and you only dream about it every day." ,unrealistic."

Seeing the boy who was mocking her walking away, the girl pouted in frustration, squatted on the ground and started playing with the crabs in the shovel, muttering in a low voice: "You don't understand anything, and you don't even remember my birthday."

Leaning on crutches, Pei Jing walked towards the girl step by step, holding the box in one hand, and patted the girl's head with the other, with a smile on his wrinkled face, he said softly: "I don't remember your birthday?" Don't like boys. Find another one and don't let yourself get hurt again."

The girl raised her head, stared at the old man in front of her with big eyes, and subconsciously took two steps back, with a vigilant expression on her face, and raised her voice: "Who are you?"

Pei Jing looked at the girl's face, tears slowly rising from his eyes.

This girl looks very much like Xia Ling.

Once upon a time, they also came to this beach, and it was also on Xia Ling's birthday.

He walked in front, and she kicked the water behind her, kicking the water all over her body, making him scold her extremely irritatedly.

Seeing her crying, he even scolded her several times.

"Don't cry, uncle." Seeing Pei Jing crying, the girl hastily took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Pei Jing.

Pei Jing took the tissue, wiped his tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are very similar to your dead wife. She was also very cute and persistent. She liked me for many years, but I never thought about looking back. That's it. Chased me until I was dead, and when I turned back, she was gone."

The girl also felt lost when she heard this. She grabbed the crab on the shovel, took Pei Jing's rough and wrinkled hand, put the crab in his palm, and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, this crab is for you. She It would also be very touching to know that you think of her that way."

"Thank you." Pei Jing looked at the crab struggling in his hand, put the crab on the beach where it should have been, watched it flee quickly, then reached into his pocket, found a key, and handed it to The girl said, "Take this as my birthday present to you."

The girl stared blankly at the key in her hand, "What is this?"

Pei Jing raised his finger and pointed to the apartment not far away, "The house there. The second building, seven floors, seventy-five, it's yours."

"What are you doing! Come here quickly!" The boy in the distance shouted in the direction of the girl.

"Oh, here it comes!" The girl looked at the key in her hand in a panic, and shook her head at Pei Jing, "I can't have it, it's too inappropriate."

"Go find him." Pei Jing raised his hand and touched the girl's head. "He is not the only person in the world who deserves it. Find someone who treats you well. This time, don't be persistent, don't get hurt, and live a good life for yourself. go down."

After he finished speaking, he walked away slowly holding the white box.

Pei Jing walked all the way along the beach, from dusk to late at night, opened the line of the restricted area, and still walked forward without stopping.

Along the way, his mind was full of Xia Ling and his past, and he didn't even notice the huge waves that hit him after the high tide.

Huge waves rolled and swallowed his thin body, he closed his eyes tightly, and the salty sea water poured into his nose and mouth.

He still hugged the white box in his arms tightly, letting his body sink and his consciousness gradually blurring.

I wish this was a dream, if we were still young when we woke up.

I will watch from afar and silently guard behind you.

Even if you stay beside others and smile like a flower, even if you and others have both children.

As long as you're still alive and well, it doesn't matter.

The sun rises in the east, and the golden morning light shines on the calm sea, as if everything here is as usual and nothing has happened.

It's just that in this world, without "Xia Ling", there will be no more Pei Jing.
