Helpless

  Xu Xuan felt a bit dazed, but still started the car, slowly pressing down on the accelerator, turning the steering wheel to the left after moving forward slightly, and drove out of the parking lot onto the asphalt road in the villa.

  Late spring and early summer, the temperature is just right, especially in a place like Pei's residence where birds sing and flowers bloom. The car window was naturally not closed, except for the sound of birds chirping, it was the constant "screeching" sound of the wheels rubbing against the road surface.

  "Jin Rui, what's wrong?" Although the atmosphere was strange and oppressive, Shen Xuan still managed to ask.

  Pei Jinrui didn't fasten his seatbelt, staring straight ahead. He didn't need to turn around; just by listening to the woman's voice, he knew how calm her gaze was and how tranquil her expression was.

  For more than three years, she has given people the greatest impression of calmness and serenity.

  It's as if nothing in this world has anything to do with her, except for her brother's body, her brother's company, and obeying the elders at home; she doesn't care about almost anything else.

  "Big brother woke up." He wanted to say a lot of things, but in the end only said these five words with a hint of implication.

  "Right. " Shen Xuan let out a breath, as if she had spat out all the bad air in her stomach. She slightly curled up the corners of her mouth, and a pair of bright eyes sparkled with light, like the clear water in the moat of the Pei residence that was reflecting the sunlight and rippling with waves.

  Upon hearing the voice filled with a hint of joy, Pei Jinrui couldn't help but lean forward to take a look at what was going on and see what kind of expression the woman had when she said those two words.

  Seeing a faint arc of light on the woman's lips, his heart tightened slightly.

  The hand that originally wanted to pull up the seatbelt was stiff there, and the hand holding the buckle was tight with a hint of whiteness.

  "A Xuan, you've been married into the Pei family for three years now."

  Xuān's car drove very slowly, looking at the familiar road surface, feeling the scenery that had flashed by in reverse, and responding faintly with a soft "Mm."

  Pei Jinrui calmly fastened his seatbelt; "You married Big Brother, also out of helplessness."

  The woman fell silent for a moment; "Uh-huh."

  "You don't have any feelings for each other, and I'm guessing you didn't even exchange more than ten words before getting married?" Pei Jinrui's tone was light, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

  It seems like I'm really calculating whether or not I've said ten sentences before. After thinking for a while, I nodded again, "Uh-huh."

  "My grandfather originally wanted you to marry him just to punish you, wanting to use the way of letting you take care of a vegetable person to punish you."

  Xuan blinked, forcing herself to straighten her back, using the strongest cells in her body to manufacture the breath she needed at this moment to suppress the emotions that were about to surge up inside her.

  After a while, she finally won, and then said lightly, "I knew."

  Although Pei Jinrui was used to Shen Xuan's cold personality and temperament, like a block of ice, but after seeing her and his older brother's intimacy today, he couldn't hold back the flames that were burning in his heart.

  This morning was eerily tense, he deeply felt the danger and oppression, but whenever he saw Shen Xuan, he couldn't muster up his temper, and his voice could only be gentle; "Now big brother is no longer a vegetable, he's awake... The doctor also said that as long as he exercises well, in less than a month, he can walk out of Wutongyuan again to take a stroll..."

  Xu Xuan's car was originally slow, and at this time, it only lightly tapped the brakes, and the car stopped steadily by the side of the Hu Zhai River. He turned his head over, with a serious gaze, asking, "So?"
