Chapter 173 Thank You Still
Ning Zhi followed them downstairs. She originally wanted to leave alone, but Pei Han asked her to follow them.
"I'm driving here. I'll take you back by the way. It's not convenient to take a taxi here."
Pei Han took the initiative to invite him. He had already gone to the parking lot to drive, and Ning Zhi didn't even have the chance to refuse.
Xiaobao took Ning Zhi's hand and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Lu Ning, my mother's driving skills are very good, she will be fine."
"That's not what I meant, it's just..." Ning Zhi didn't know what to say. Maybe something like this happened and she wanted to be alone.
Soon Pei Han drove over. Ning Zhi sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. Xiaobao sat obediently in the child seat in the back seat.
"I'm fine, dad, let's drive!"
Xiaobao shouted enthusiastically, and the car started at this time.
When their car left the hospital, Ji Hanguang's car was actually right behind it. He happened to pass by it as they were leaving, and he saw the scene inside the car.
Ji Hanguang looked at them, they really looked like a family, and suddenly felt very ironic, he actually thought that Lu Ning was Ning Zhi, they were two completely unrelated people.
Thinking of what happened just now, Ning Zhi naturally wanted to thank Pei Han.
"Thank you Pei Han. If you and Xiaobao hadn't suddenly appeared, I might have been exposed today."
Ning Zhi didn't know what to say other than these. After all, she had nothing to give them.
Pei Han shook his head and kept looking forward, "Actually, you don't need to thank me. These are all things I am willing to do. I will do anything for you."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the car seemed to be different. Ning Zhi always felt strange and immediately looked out the window.
She opened a small gap, and the cold wind quickly blew in, and she felt quite awake in an instant.
Ning Zhi closed the window, then looked at Pei Han, "No matter what, I still want to thank you, or I'll treat you to dinner with Xiaobao. You can choose any restaurant."
She didn't like that Pei Han was so polite. Once such an important thing was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous. She could do this for her, and she really felt bad about it.
"Ning Zhi, there is no need for this between us. I treated you this way before, and I treat you the same way now."
Pei Han answered very seriously. He turned his head and glanced, "I very much hope that there will be no changes between now and before. You are still you, and I am still the same person as before, okay?"
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned his head away. After all, he was driving now, which was very dangerous.
When Ning Zhi heard this, she was naturally very moved, "But it's not the same person now. So many things have happened, and I'm not the same person I was before."
"No, you are still the same person as before!"
Pei Han was very determined. He parked the car in a safe lane aside, then looked at her seriously and said solemnly:
"For the past three years, I have been hoping that you would be alive and appear in front of me again. God is really kind to me, and I met you again."
"Ning Zhi, Ji Hanguang is no longer worthy of your nostalgia. Can you please stop rejecting me this time?"
Pei Han said this last sentence very humbly. He had been waiting for Ning Zhi, and his heart had never changed.
He hoped to get a response from Ning Zhi and looked at her seriously.
Ning Zhi felt his hot gaze. At this moment, she didn't know what to do or what to say in response.
Of course she knows that Pei Han likes her, but can she accept this love now?
She felt really unworthy.
Ning Zhi originally wanted to refuse, but Xiaobao suddenly said: "Auntie, just promise my dad. He really likes you. Sometimes he often calls your name in his dreams at night."
"Do you think it's not good to have me as a dragster? You really don't have to worry. After all, you know that I am very smart. In the future, if you stay together well, I can support myself and I will never be a drag on you."
Xiaobao patted his chest and assured that although he had always felt that Aunt Lu Ning and Uncle Ji were very suitable, he also knew in his heart that his father liked her.
If Aunt Lu Ning could be his mother, I would be very happy, so that I could be with her every day.
He kept talking, hoping that Lu Ning would agree, but seeing her hesitate, he felt a little more worried.
Xiaobao looked at his father helplessly, and patted his shoulder with the other hand, "Dad, please say a few words."
"Ah, yes, Xiaobao is right. This child is very smart and will definitely be very obedient. Don't worry."
Pei Han also promised her, "From now on, you will be number one here and Xiaobao will be number two!"
The Xiaobao who heard this sentence was really Shuan Q, but because he was pursuing love, he was too lazy to argue with him.
Ning Zhi listened to what they said. She didn't know how to say her rejection. It was as if there were two villains fighting in her heart. They tried to persuade her to agree, but also told her not to disturb others.
Pei Han is really nice, but I have delayed him for so long, and now I really don't want to delay him anymore.
"I need to think about it again." Ning Zhi said and unbuckled her seat belt, but Pei Han grabbed her hand.
"Where are you going?"
Pei Han looked at her doubtfully, but actually there was a bit of sadness on his face. Her words were equivalent to rejection. Even after three years, her heart was still not with her.
"I'll go back by myself. You can take Xiaobao back with you." Ning Zhi insisted on leaving, and Pei Han reluctantly let go of her hand.
"Dad, if you don't hurry up and chase her, what will happen if Aunt Lu Ning is really gone?"
Xiaobao looked very anxious from behind and urged him quickly.
Pei Han saw Ning Zhi walking in the opposite direction through the rearview mirror, and shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, wait until she thinks it over. Asking her the answer in such a hurry now will definitely make her unhappy."
"The world of adults is so complicated." Xiaobao was helpless. Maybe he was too young to understand.
Ning Zhi was walking alone on the street. She was about to take a taxi back. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. When she lowered her head, she saw a familiar name.
"Mr. Huo..."
She answered the phone, and Huo Yuntian's voice came from the other end, "There has been no movement for so long. Are you angry just because I punished you?"
Huo Yuntian's voice was a little more probing, trying to hear the emotion in her tone.
Ning Zhi shook her head, thinking to herself, "How could it be? What Mr. Huo taught you was that Lu Ning was willing to be punished."
She said these words through gritted teeth. Of course she was not convinced by those beatings and she would pay them back to Ning Yan sooner or later.
"Well, I know you are a sensible person. Now come to the Huo family."
