Chapter 625 - The Struggle of a Butterfly



Chapter 625: The Struggle of a Butterfly

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Her body was so light that it was almost weightless like feathers.

Layers of gauze covered her body. Her delicate hair spread out, and her beaded jewelry fell to the ground. Her eyes were tightly shut, causing a faint shadow to brush her eyelids.

As he was very close, he could smell the floral fragrance on her body.

The lights on the stage were glaring.

There was pandemonium below the stage.

However, he felt that this moment was beautiful like many years ago when his butterfly quietly rested in the palm of his hand. A world that only belonged to both of them.

A few staff rushed up and wanted to take her from him.

However, Pei Ziheng evaded them and personally carried her backstage.

When he reached backstage, Sister Mai Na also ran over anxiously. “How’s Xiao Ling?”

Without answering, he strode forward.

Sister Mai Na pulled him. “Pei Ziheng! Where are you taking Xiao Ling?!”

Finally, he paused in his footsteps and coldly looked at Sister Mai Na, “Is this how you take care of her? Is she physically exhausted or malnourished? How could she faint on stage like that! Move aside, I’m going to send her to the hospital.”

“We will send her to the hospital! We don’t need to trouble you.” Sister Mai Na said.

Pei Ziheng looked slightly impatient. “I don’t trust you.” After that, he pushed Sister Mai Na’s hand aside and strode forward.

Sister Mai Na was stunned by his imposing manner and only reacted after a few seconds. In what way was this man qualified to say that he could not trust them?! What relationship did he think he had with Xiao Ling?!

She was so angry that she stamped her foot. As she looked at Pei Ziheng’s figure slowly disappear, she pulled her assistant. “Chase him!”

On the other hand, Pei Ziheng carried Xia Ling to the parking lot and got on his own Rolls Royce.

“Where to, Boss?” The chauffeur asked.

“Cloud Springs Mountain Manor.” Pei Ziheng said. That was one of his holiday villas in the city. It was near the river, and he had exclusive private chefs and servants there. The environment was many times better than the hotel she lived in.

“Do we need to go to the hospital?” Looking at the girl who had fainted in his arms, the chauffeur daringly asked.

Pei Ziheng lowered his head and gently looked at Xia Ling’s pale face. Her eyes were tearful and her makeup was a little smudged, but she had a fragile sort of beauty. “Look for a doctor for a proper check-up.” He said. He was very clear that she was neither physically exhausted nor malnourished. She was only over-stimulated after knowing that Li Lei was with someone else.

She would be fine after resting for a few days.

The chauffeur acknowledged him and focused on driving.

After a while, he suddenly said, “Boss, there are people following behind us.”

Pei Ziheng glanced at the rearview mirror.

A BMW and was following them very closely. However, due to machine performance, it could not overtake his Rolls Royce.

“Lose it.” He said concisely.

After receiving the order, the chauffeur made a few turns in the city and spent a lot of effort getting rid of the BMW.

Soon, Pei Ziheng’s phone rang. It was a foreign number.

He answered it. Sure enough, he heard Sister Mai Na’s exasperated voice. “Pei Ziheng! Where are you taking Xiao Ling? You’re crazy!”

“She’s very safe.” He was not triggered. In fact, he patiently fixed the hair of the girl in his arms. “I will take care of her well. Ask Li Lei’s bodyguards to stay further away and not give her problems.”

“You—” Sister Mai Na still wanted to say something.

Pei Ziheng directly ended the call.

Soon, they reached Cloud Springs Mountain Manor and he placed Xia Ling in the master bedroom.

It was quiet outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Inside, a Persian cat was lying on the soft carpet.

The doctor he had called arrived and, after he examined Xia Ling carefully, he said, “Xia Ling does not have any big problems and only fainted due to physical exhaustion and overstimulation. After more rest, nutrition and consolation, she will get better.” After that, he gave some advice regarding the food she should eat.

The doctor was sent away.

He sat on the bed next to her and looked at her asleep form for the entire night.

Xia Ling only felt that she had a long and chaotic dream. In the dream, there were many fragmented scenes. There was Li Lei, Su Tang, Old Master Li, Gu Lin, and other unrelated people... They mocked her, taunted her, and said that she was not a good woman because she could not give birth to any children. They said that she was not worthy of being with Li Lei...

She dreamed that she was holding on to Li Lei’s hand and pleading him not to go.

However, in the dream, Li Lei pushed her away and coldly said, “I already have Su Tang now. And I will have a son with her.” Holding the pregnant Su Tang’s hand, they gradually disappeared into the distance...

She cried and woke up.

The first thing she saw was a cold face which looked like a god’s.

She looked at him for a long time before realizing who he was. “Pei Ziheng, give me the phone.” She said.

“You just woke up and are very weak.” Pei Ziheng gently said, “Lie down for a while more. I asked the servants to make fruit puree and porridge. You should eat a little first.”

She said again, “Give me the phone!”

He glanced at her and handed her the phone.

Shaking, she dialed Li Lei’s number. The line was busy as previous times and she could not get through. She became anxious and called Tan Ying. “Tan Ying! Where is your boss now?! Why isn’t he answering the phone?!”

Since Li Lei returned back to the headquarters, Tan Ying became his general manager in China and kept in touch with the headquarters frequently. Although it was in the middle of the night, he was still very awake when he answered Xia Ling’s call. “Miss Ye, I’ve said that boss is settling business and it’s very normal that he can’t contact you in the short term.”

“You’re lying!” Her tone changed slightly. “I heard that Su Tang is pregnant. Is this true?!”

A few days ago, Tan Ying received this news and was very calm at that time. “Yes, boss and Su Tang went to settle business together. Su Tang saved his life. In the wilderness, it is normal for this to happen when a man and a woman are alone. It’s best if you accept this fact.”

Her heart sank. Accept this fact? How could she do that?!

“Since news about them can be spread...” She forced herself to remain calm as she questioned him. “This proves that I can contact him, Tan Ying! Tell me how I can contact him!”

Tan Ying frowned. “Miss Ye, I can’t do that. Old Master ordered me to not let you disturb boss and Su Tang’s family.” He deliberately used the word “family” so that she would give up hope.

However, she persevered. “Tell me!”

Tan Ying hung up the phone.

“Give it up.” It was Pei Ziheng’s calm voice. “Li Lei used to be a flirt in the past. Before he met you, he had countless female partners. It’s a miracle that he’s able to be with you for such a long time. Do you think he will stay virtuous when you’re not by his side?”

Xia Ling spun around and glared at him coldly. “He won’t betray me!”
