Assistant Mo stayed in London for three days and methodically replaced all of Jiang Ruoli's lost documents and belongings. He even had a bunch of new products of the season delivered to the apartment.

Even Xu Mengan's share was arranged.

For three whole days, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea, every meal was carefully prepared and served by a dedicated person.

It's a bit too appropriate.

So when Assistant Mo was about to leave, Xu Mengan and Jiang Ruoli were in tears and reluctant to let him go.

Not only that, the day after Assistant Mo left, the police station received news that the biker gang had been caught! When they were caught, Jiang Ruoli's brand-name bags and clothes were spread out on the ground as clearance sales.

Coming out of the police station again, Jiang Ruoli put his arm around Xu Mengan's shoulder, looking refreshed.

"Let's go! I'll treat you to dinner, let's go to the restaurant we didn't meet last time!"

Xu Mengan looked at Jiang Ruoli, wanting to say something but stopping himself. After thinking for a while, he finally said "OK".

In fact, before Assistant Mo left that day, she received a phone call.

"Miss Xu, Lili has been spoiled since she was a child, so it's inevitable that she sometimes has a temper like a young lady. Please bear with me."

Xu Mengan didn't think Jiang Ruoli was overbearing. On the contrary, she was very easy to get along with and didn't care about many things.

"Lili has a good personality, I like her very much."

"indeed so."

A steady male voice came from the other end: "Also, I have an unwelcome request. During your study abroad, I hope you can take good care of Lili. If anything happens to her, please inform me immediately."

"Of course, as a thank you gift, Pei's will cover all your expenses for studying in London."

Although Xu Mengan was not short of money, she was born in an ordinary middle class and naturally could not compare with the financial resources of the Jiang and Pei families. Although the food and clothing expenses of studying abroad would not make the family poor, they were also a part that could not be ignored.

Pei Zigui's words were undoubtedly a huge temptation to her.

Xu Mengan pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and agreed to Pei Zigui's conditions.

At least, all he wanted was to protect Jiang Ruoli.

"Then how can I contact you?"

Pei Zigui: "Just contact this number."

"it is good."

Several years passed in a flash. During this period, Xu Mengan never mentioned this matter to Jiang Ruoli, but she silently reported Jiang Ruoli's recent situation regularly.

This is also why she was able to notify Pei Zigui immediately the night Jiang Ruoli entered the police station.

Jiang Ruoli had a charming face, so there was no shortage of people showing interest in him at school. But before Xu Mengan could make a move, the eldest lady had already ruthlessly rejected him without even giving him a glance.

Of course, Jiang Ruoli didn’t know any of this.

*

The street scene outside the car window was receding, and Jiang Ruoli's thoughts were pulled away from the memories of the past. Thinking of the words he said to Pei Zigui over the phone that year, after so many years, he still felt a little embarrassed.

At that time, he only thought that only Pei Zigui could help him, and he was embarrassed, so he said this without thinking. Unexpectedly, Pei Zigui not only did not forget a spoiled joke, but also brought up the past.

"Why aren't you talking? Have you forgotten?"

In the dim light, Pei Zigui gently pinched the woman's fair skin and snow-white cheeks with his bony index and middle finger joints. His deep voice was mixed with a hint of joking, and he didn't sound like someone who had just been in a fight at all.

Jiang Ruoli angrily slapped his hand away, her watery eyes turned back from the window, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

"your hands……"

Probably because he had exerted so much strength just now, the man's joints were now red and had a few broken spots. His hands, which were perfect enough to be used as models, had a bit of imperfect beauty.

Pei Zigui didn't seem to feel any pain at all. He held the restless Jiang Ruoli on his lap. He could smell that she was still a little drunk.

"No pain."

Jiang Ruoli's eyes were fixed on the pair of modeling hands, and his mouth was pouting so much that a bottle of oil could be hung on it.

She rolled her eyes at Pei Zigui.

"When you asked someone to bring the ointment just now, why didn't you ask them to bring some disinfectant as well?"

Pei Zigui nodded thoughtfully, "It does need to be disinfected. That dirty thing has touched you."

"Driver, stop the car."

A woman's angry voice came from the back seat, and the driver stepped on the brakes unexpectedly, "Madam, what's wrong?"

"Go! Down! Disinfect!" Jiang Ruoli opened the car door and closed it in the blink of an eye like an elusive butterfly.

There happened to be a 24-hour automatic pharmacy on the side of the road, which was filled with common medicines.

Jiang Ruoli walked in with her left foot deep and her right foot shallow without even looking at the ground, and almost tripped over the stairs. Fortunately, Pei Zigui rushed out and helped her up.

Seeing Jiang Ruoli ordering several disinfectant wipes and iodine swabs from the vending machine, but not taking the next step, Pei Zigui stood by with his arms folded, not saying a word, his eyes full of smiles.

Jiang Ruoli said in a muffled voice, "Why are you standing there? Go pay! I don't have my phone with me..."

"Yes, little princess." Pei Zigui paid the money quickly and neatly. The medicine fell into the dispenser and he bent down to take it.

"Thank you, Mrs. Pei."

This pharmacy was equipped with several small tables and chairs, and the two sat down. Pei Zigui looked at Jiang Ruoli unpacking the outer packaging, and then wiped and disinfected his wound gently.

Pei Zigui hissed, his fingers trembling slightly.

Jiang Ruoli blew a few breaths subconsciously, "Does it hurt?"

She had drunk some wine and her head was still a little dizzy, so she might have been too harsh on him.

"How about you do it yourself?"

There was a rare hint of lack of confidence in the little fox's eyes.

Pei Zigui, who wanted to play pitiful to gain sympathy, couldn't bear to see her expression. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he said softly, "It doesn't hurt, you continue."

After a lot of trouble, the disinfection was finally completed. Jiang Ruoli threw the used cotton swab into the trash can and opened a few disinfectant wipes to wipe his wrists.

Pei Zigui frowned and snatched the wet wipe: "What's wrong? I just applied the medicine and it hasn't been absorbed yet. Don't wipe it off yet."

Jiang Ruoli pouted at him, inexplicably aggrieved: "Didn't you say that I had to be disinfected after being touched by that garbage?"

It was just a joke, but she took it seriously.

He is really drunk.

If it was Jiang Ruoli in normal days, he would definitely throw the disinfectant wipes in his face and yell, "I'm not dirty, you're the dirtiest!"

Pei Zigui put away the disinfectant wipes with a smile, and with a smile on his face, he glanced at the surveillance camera above his head and whispered in Jiang Ruoli's ear:

"I'll disinfect you myself when we get home tonight."

By then, the ointment on her wrist should have been absorbed.

Jiang Ruoli's mind hadn't figured it out yet, so he nodded blankly, "Okay."

Pei Zigui couldn't help but lower his head and kissed the woman's smooth forehead, saying in a doting tone: "Baby, why are you so well behaved?"

But when he left the pharmacy, Pei Zigui realized that he had said this too early.
