“Really? Did nothing happen?” Lu Man scarcely remembered what happened to her in the car with him, but she had no memory whatsoever of what happened to her before she fainted, but it was certain that she was drugged.
That gave her a chill in the bone. She did not want to think about what had happened.
“Yes.”
“Good… Good…” She mumbled, as if she was persuading herself. Her body was slightly shaking out of fear.
Pei Xiuyuan hugged her tightly. “Really. Nothing happened. I found you before they could even do anything.”
Lu Man did not say anything. She stayed quietly in his arms for a while until she had fully calmed down.
“Who did it? Why did they knock me out with drugs?”
Pei Xiuyuan paused for a few seconds. Then he said, “It was Yunxi.”
“It really was her!” Lu Man had guessed it was her. The only person she had ever offended was Wang Yunxi and only she dared to do such a thing!
Pei Xiuyuan sighed silently, this time the two of them would never reconcile and live peacefully together.
“I will send those people to jail. They will stay there for the rest of their lives.” Not to mention Lu Man’s fear, Pei Xiuyuan was scared too. He could not imagine what would have happened if he was late by one second!
He just did not show his fear to make things worse.
“Including Wang Yunxi?” Lu Man looked up at him.
Pei Xiuyuan was silent for a while. “No.”
Lu Man smirked out of disappointment. She lowered her head and said no more.
Pei Xiuyuan knew she was angry. He knew that it was unfair to her, but Yunxi was his sister. “I will punish her severely!” He promised.
Although he would not send Yunxi to jail, he would not let go of her easily this time. He would punish her for her wrongdoing. She was indeed lawless this time!
“How? Detention? Freezing her credit cards?” Lu Man asked sarcastically. These would probably be his punishment to her.
“I will cane her under the family rules. Then I will send her to the village to reflect on her mistakes. I will freeze her cards as well.” Lu Man’s guesses were right.
She laughed scornfully. Being a lady in a rich family was advantageous. No matter how severe her mistakes were, the punishments imposed on her would not be heavy.
“Manman, how would you have wanted it? You can do anything you want as long as you don’t send her to the police.” He knew it was unfair to her. So he would fulfill her wish if possible.
“I want her to be treated like how I was treated!” He told her that they did not have time to do anything to her. But she knew perfectly well what they were planning to do to her when Wang Yunxi had asked them to knock her out with drugs!
She was this evil but her punishment was just to reflect on her mistakes!
It was barely acceptable not to send her to the police.
But could he let her do as she wanted?
Lu Man knew he would not allow that, but she still said it out loud.
“Manman, I know you are saying this out of grudge.” She did not really mean it.
“I am not! I am serious!” Lu Man was not just saying it. She wanted it for real!
Kind people were very easily bullied by others nowadays. She was not the forgiving Monk Tang1. She would not be kind to anyone wanting to kill her.
“Manman, you know that it is impossible.”
“Then don’t make such a promise!”
“Manman…” Pei Xiuyuan felt helpless.
“I am tired. I want to sleep.” She lay down and stopped talking to him.
Pei Xiuyuan lay down next to her and held her in his arms. She did not want to allow it so she struggled. But it was of no use, so she just let him be.
“I am sorry.” Pei Xiuyuan knew that she was wronged and that it was unfair to her to do so. He would send any other person to death without hesitation. However, this very person was his sister.
He had promised his sister to love and care for her forever, how could he do that to her now?
The helplessness and regret in his voice made Lu Man think that she had gone overboard.
“You do not have to apologize. It was not your fault. I know that what I have said made things hard for you.” Wang Yunxi was his sister. In a reversed role, if her sister had done something wrong, she would not have allowed other people to harm her sister as well.
“It was my fault.” He had never thought that his sister could do such a thing, so he did not manage to protect her well.
In Pei Xiuyuan’s knowledge, Wang Yunxi was just a wilful child but she was not bad. He had never thought that she would do such a terrible thing.
“Never mind. By the way, I need to thank you. Thank you for saving me.” He could not fulfill her wish but she did not want to make him feel bad about it. It was he who had saved her anyway.
When she said such understanding words, Pei Xiuyuan was not happy at all.
It was because she was keeping the distance between them when she said those words. She was still seeing him as an outsider.
‘Thank you. Do you need to thank your husband when he saves you?’
“Manman…”
“I am tired,” she said and closed her eyes.
Pei Xiuyuan knew she was trying to avoid the topic, but she really was tired. So he stopped talking.
Her attitude made him realize that their relationship that he had worked hard on for over a month was back to ground zero. But he was not in a hurry as they had a lifetime to build it.
So many things happened today. Lu Man was exhausted, but she could not sleep.
She was angry every time she thought of Wang Yunxi.
Thinking that they would meet frequently in the future, she felt even worse.
She just wanted to be happy. But now she had to face the person who had harmed her and on top of that, she had to pretend to be happy when she was not happy at all!
Why did God play such a prank, making Pei Xiuyuan her brother?
As she was thinking, her body gradually relaxed. She was really very tired that she had fallen asleep after thinking about everything that had happened.
When her breathing slowed to a constant, Pei Xiuyuan opened his eyes.
“I am sorry, my wife. I’ve made you feel wronged, and this will never happen again in the future.” He printed a promise kiss on her forehead.
On the next day, Wang Yunxi and Mu Yunhai woke up and got ready to go for their honeymoon. But when they opened the door, PA Wang was already standing at the door, waiting.
“Miss, President Pei wants to see you now.”
“What for?” What was the matter that her brother would ask his personal assistant to invite her?
“You will know once you get there.”
“I do not have time. He knows that we are going on our honeymoon!” Wang Yunxi knew it was probably about what happened yesterday. He must be wanting to give her a lesson. It would definitely be bad so she better get away with it now!
“President Pei has already canceled your honeymoon trip. Please come with me now, Miss.” PA Wang spoke very politely, but his tone did not allow her any room to refuse.
Sure enough, like master like man.
“He has canceled our honeymoon trip? Why?” Wang Yunxi was upset. How could her brother cancel the trip without telling her?
“As for the reason, you can ask him yourself.”
Seeing how persistent he was, Wang Yunxi had a bad feeling. She did not want to meet her brother at all.
