After Forced Marriage [Female A Male O] (ChatGPT translation)

Chapter 24 Igniting Flames 04 5.13

Pei Hengzhi's lips were scorching hot, and Fu Dongni thought about the smoke smell all over his body, raising his hand to push him away.

But he held her even tighter.

She realized that his body was stiff to an excessive degree.

"Fu Yi, don't move, let me hold you for a while..."

Pei Hengzhi greedily breathed in her scent, the strong tobacco smell, the slight dampness, and the clean and transparent smell of seawater. He could only fill the jealousy and fear brought on by Bai Yan's appearance in this way.

Fu Dongni keenly sensed that something was wrong with him and thought for a moment before asking softly, "Did you see something?"

Pei Hengzhi didn't say anything and buried his head even deeper.

Fu Dongni's face darkened, and with a strong force, she pried him open, hooking her index finger under his chin and forcing him to look directly at her. "Pei Hengzhi, I'm asking you a question."

A drop of cold rain suddenly fell from the treetops and quickly disappeared into Pei Hengzhi's collar. He shivered unconsciously. The hem of his white uniform was stained with the wet dust of the bench, and he looked like he had been bullied.

"I saw," he seemed to struggle with his words, "you met with Bai Yan."A flash of panic passed through her pupils, fleeting emotions that Fu Dongni couldn't even catch.

"But it's okay," Pei Hengzhi held her hand back, looking at her with gentle eyes, "I don't mind."

As he spoke, his voice was calm and even, as usual, but his fingertips were icy cold despite the summer season.

Fu Dongni's probing gaze wandered back and forth on his face, as if verifying the credibility of his words.

She wasn't sure if Pei Hengzhi had seen her loss of composure.

But to say that she was indifferent and had no ripples in her heart upon seeing Bai Yan again would be a lie.

Just the anger and disappointment that had arisen towards Bai Yan a moment ago was almost beyond her control.

She knew that over the years, everyone would change to some extent, and she had changed too, but Bai Yan had not only changed, the previous Bai Yan who was unyielding, firm, proud, and full of faith seemed to have died, and the person sitting in front of her today was almost a stranger.

Fu Dongni became even more restless and agitated.

She had no intention of hiding anything from Pei Hengzhi."Regardless of whether you mind or not, I think we need to have a good talk." Fu Dongni withdrew her hand, absentmindedly tucking away the strands of hair on his forehead and smoothing out the worry lines between his eyebrows. "But before that, you need to come home with me. You got caught in the rain and need to change out of your wet clothes as soon as possible."

"Mm." Pei Hengzhi obediently accepted her arrangement, standing up and tightly holding her hand again.

Fu Dongni's heart immediately softened.

This person had come to the Star City Club in his work uniform, clearly having encountered some trouble. She roughly guessed the reason and felt guilty for causing trouble for the research institute and him.

But she didn't say anything, instead rubbing his cold fingers to warm them up and leading him towards the aircraft parking area where Yang Xingwu was waiting.

During the time Pei Hengzhi went to find Fu Dongni, the entire weapons group research and development department was shocked by the news of the man in a suit taking him away.
