Chapter 1091: Not Allowed to Go Out

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He was shocked and took a while to react to what she said.

It seemed the incident really made her very afraid. He said to her warmly, “It won’t hurt so much in the future. You’ll like it very much, I promise.”

She blushed red again. How could she like this kind of thing?

However, she glanced carefully at his expression and tactfully decided to stop saying no.

She would just decide on the way and avoid him carefully next time. He had said that as long as she was obedient, he wouldn’t bully her. Moreover... unexpectedly, she remembered the glamorous woman she saw at the door of the presidential suite that day as well as what happened in Blue Dream Club as relayed by Xia Yu. He did not lack women around him and might not want her for certain.

At this thought, her heart was filled with a hint of sourness.

Pei Ziheng saw her uncertain expression and asked, “Why, don’t you believe me?”

She shook her head in a panic and did not dare continue discussing this topic. She went back to rest with a red face.

Pei Ziheng stared at her retreating back, his eyes unconsciously filled with a soft smile. The biggest gain of this trip to Paris was not the big single project, but that he possessed her—he possessed her completely. He let her rest. He had been busy these days and, although the project had reached the end stage, it was still complicated. Due to her accident, the progress had been delayed a little. He had to quickly deal with it.

Xia Ling was bored in her room for several days. She felt too embarrassed to see anyone and stayed at home.

Occasionally, when she called room service, she would feel guilty and shameful because she thought that the waiter was looking at her strangely. Even though she knew it was an illusion, she couldn’t restrain her thoughts.

The injury on her body was getting better.

She called Xia Yu and wanted her to accompany her, but the call didn’t get through.

She took the courage to step out of the suite and walked down the corridor to knock on Xia Yu’s door. She knocked for a long time but the door still didn’t open.

Instead, the other door next to it opened. It was Chu Chen. “Xiao Ling? Are you looking for Xiao Yu?”

She turned to look at the well-groomed man in a suit. She unconsciously speculated that he knew much of what had happened between her and Pei Ziheng. She was uneasy at this thought and desperately wanted to run away.

Obviously, Chu Chen knew much more than she imagined.

He deliberately turned a blind eye to the girl’s shyness and said in a warm voice, “Boss has already sent Xiao Yu out of Paris and back to the hospital. Why are you looking for her?”

“Why is she going back to the hospital so suddenly?” Xia Ling asked. “Is she feeling unwell?”

“No,” Chu Chen said. “Boss was very angry on the day you met with an accident in the taxi. He found out it was Xiao Yu who instigated you to return to China and even got the car for you, so he had her locked up. You won’t be able to see her in the next six months, and won’t be able to contact her either. But don’t worry, she’s alright, healthy, and is being cared for.”

Xia Ling understood what was going on.

“It’s all my fault,” she looked at Chu Chen and said in a hurry. “I was the one who wanted to go back to China, it doesn’t have anything to do with Xiao Yu. Don’t lock her up, okay?”

Chu Chen revealed a sympathetic smile. “You know, this is not something I can decide.”

Xia Ling was silent. She had been confused for a moment after hearing about Xia Yu. But actually, she also understood that only Pei Ziheng was able to make the decision and nobody would be able to shake it. “How could Brother Pei do this,” she whispered and felt wronged again. “He’s bullying her and being too unreasonable.”

Chu Chen dared not share his opinion on this matter. He said in gentle appeasement, “Boss is doing it for you.”

“He’s not doing it for me.” She retorted stubbornly, her mood low.

Chu Chen knew that she was throwing a child’s tantrum and smiled slightly. He did not put it to heart. “The weather is good today, do you want to go out and walk? But don’t walk too far, Boss has imposed martial law on the whole hotel. You won’t be able to go out.”

“He locked me up too?”

“Boss is doing this for your safety.”

“Humph.” Xia Ling was even more upset and turned around in frustration.

Chu Chen watched indifferently as she left before heading to the hotel’s conference room. Pei Ziheng and several of his subordinates just ended their meeting, and the group of people was packing up and preparing to leave. Under the thick and wide glass window, the man’s tall figure was like a calm mountain, majestic and cold, making people feel awe.

The conference room was silent, and all the subordinates did not dare chat or laugh in front of him. They retired in silence in an orderly manner. Seeing Chu Chen come in, Pei Ziheng handed him a report. “You’ve come at the right time. Fax this to Secretary Zhou and let her handle it quickly.”

Chu Chen said calmly, “Yes.”

After seeing the last subordinate exit the conference room from the corner of his eye, he said to Pei Ziheng, “Xiao Ling finally went out of her room today. She went to find Xia Yu, and I told her that Xia Yu has been confined.”

Pei Ziheng walked out and asked Chu Chen, “How’s her mood?”

Chu Chen followed him out and helped him press the elevator button. “It doesn’t seem too good. But she didn’t have any excessive reaction, she just looked very wronged.”

With a “ding”, the two entered the elevator.

“First floor. Wronged?”

Chu Chen helped him pressed the first-floor button. The elevator decorated with luxurious mirrors went down smoothly and quickly. “She looked about to cry. Boss, do you want to pacify her?”

“She’s full of shortcomings from my indulgence.” He paused and said, “Didn’t I ask you to ask Jason where the best tailor shop in Paris is? You even took her size and photos, are the clothes done?”

“It’s already done, but the tailors are not willing to deliver it. They said they didn’t have such an established standard in their store. How could they deliver it directly without letting the person try it? If the clothes don’t fit well, it’ll harm their reputation.” This small tailor shop on the streets of Paris was not very famous but had a long history and made clothes for genuinely selective and tasteful people. To make a set of clothes, the person would have to try it on at least three times, but Xia Ling had not even tried it on once.

Pei Ziheng snorted. “Try it on? Then what kind of surprise would it be.”

The elevator arrived on the first floor and the door opened. Pei Ziheng strode out with big strides and instructed Chu Chen. “Tell them to quit being so pesky. I want to see the clothes tomorrow morning. Also, set up a meeting with Wilson. Tell him it’s been brought forward and I want him to prepare the things properly. I’ll go there tomorrow.”

At the entrance of the lobby on the first floor, two doormen in bow ties bowed slightly and opened the door for him.

A black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of them. The driver got out of the car and opened the door. Pei Ziheng bent down and got into the car, which quickly started and drove away.

Chu Chen stood by the door and watched him leave. He followed his instructions and called Wilson.

Xia Ling strolled aimlessly in the hotel’s garden. When she wanted to go out, she was stopped by a guard at the door. The guard was polite but said to her with a strong tone, “Beautiful lady, your guardian has told me that you are not allowed to go outside. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Xia Ling was given the cold shoulder and went back to her room unhappily. She was even angrier now.
