Chapter 283 - 114 The person in the dream is far from enough_2
Ji Yunya always seemed to appear and disappear unpredictably, and upon seeing that ridiculously beautiful face, she guessed whether Ji Yunya was kept by someone.
"You still have a way to go before you reach home, do you want me to give you a ride?"
Seeing that radiant smile on Ji Yunya’s face, Kang Jinxian felt a bubble of irritation welling up within her.
"No need, I want to take a walk."
"Then I’ll head back first, but it’s quite unsafe out here at night, especially with snakes often appearing in the grass. Aunt Ah Xian, you’d better be careful. If anything happens to you, Grandma will be worried, especially Dad. He adores you so much; I can’t imagine how anxious he would be."
Those pitch-black eyes shone in the night, causing Kang Jinxian to avert her gaze hurriedly, in an attempt to hide the abnormal heartbeat she had experienced for a moment.
Yun Ya slightly curled his lips, and the car sped away in a trail of dust.
Thinking about what Ji Yunya had said, Kang Jinxian couldn’t help but feel as if snakes were slithering out of the grass at the roadside at any moment, spurring her to quicken her pace as though something was chasing her.
Tonight Yun Shen hadn’t returned, leaving Kang Jinxian feeling somewhat despondent. Was he avoiding her?
Recalling the madness of the previous night, she still felt as if it had all been a dream.
She wouldn’t regret it, only felt that the night had passed too quickly...
People are always like that, forever wanting more, never satisfied...
If one day, she became the brightest and most dazzling star, surely, he would see her in his eyes.
Clutching onto that hope, she drifted into a sweet sleep.

"Sister Ah Ling, my injury has mostly healed, it’s a bit stuffy in the room. Could you help me take a walk outside?"
Ah Ling smiled and said, "Of course."
Bai Xiangxiang lifted the blanket and got out of bed, and Ah Ling came over to support her.
The villa was vast and luxurious, much better than her family’s home, complete with a meticulously maintained garden brimming with blooming flowers in dazzling colors, utterly beautiful.
Bai Xiangxiang casually picked a white peony and put it to her nose, inhaling deeply, "It smells so good."
Ah Ling subtly furrowed her brows.
Clipping the flower to the side of her ear, Bai Xiangxiang turned her head and smiled, "Sister Ah Ling, does it look good?"
With the pure elegance of the white peony, a girlish face was set off with added grace, and a pair of clear, large eyes blinked cutely, absolutely adorable.
Ah Ling smiled, "It looks good."
Bai Xiangxiang swayed her head playfully, her attention drawn to a young man in white clothes stepping briskly through the main gate outside; with a stature of about one meter eighty, his gentle smiling eyes made him seem very approachable.
The man glanced over here, then his gaze shifted to the white peony at the girl’s ear, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
The man gave her a slight nod.
Bai Xiangxiang was somewhat flattered by the attention and only after the man had walked away did she ask, "Sister Ah Ling, who is he?"
Ah Ling spoke rather indifferently, "He’s Mr. Fu, Master Pei’s assistant."
Bai Xiangxiang pouted; so, he was just an assistant.
Having stayed here for five days, she hadn’t seen Master Pei even once and was starting to feel discouraged. Besides, that woman always kept a close watch, and she didn’t dare to wander around freely. Seeing that her injury was almost fully healed and fearing she would be sent back home soon, she realized she might lose her chance.
If Mr. Fu’s assistant was present, then Pei Qinghan must also be around.
Her eyes rolled around as she hatched a plan.
After sitting in the garden for a while, Bai Xiangxiang claimed she was tired, and Ah Ling supported her back to her room.
Before entering the room, Bai Xiangxiang took a careful look at the layout of the villa, fixing her attention on one room in particular.
"Sister Ah Ling, I’m a bit thirsty, could you get me a cup of water?"
Ah Ling said nothing and turned to leave.
Ah Ling had previously instructed Bai Xiangxiang not to wander around, and thinking the girl had taken those words to heart, she did not reiterate the warning.
As soon as Ah Ling left, a hint of triumph appeared in Bai Xiangxiang’s eyes. Facing the mirror, she tidied her hair and pulled out some makeup from her bag, poised to apply it to her face, but thinking better of it, she put it back.
Right now, she was a patient, and the more pitiable she appeared, the more she could garner his sympathy—she was his lifesaver, after all.
Stepping out of her room hesitantly, she made her way to a closed door across the hall.
Just as she was about to knock, she heard intermittent voices from inside. Halting her knock, Bai Xiangxiang pressed her ear against the door.
"Alright, leave Ning Zihuan to me. That bastard doesn’t know what’s good for him until he sees the coffin. He seriously needs to be taught a lesson."
As something came to mind, Fu Bai glanced up at the figure standing by the window, his tall, lean body exuding elegance.
"Boss, how are you planning to deal with that girl? If you ask me, even though she’s not much to look at, the key point is she’s young, and she’s your lifesaver. As the saying goes, one should repay a kindness profusely; for saving a life, why not simply commit yourself to her?" His tone was mostly joking.
