PFC Chapter 272 Contract Puppy
Chapter 272 Contract Puppy
Pei Jin's body stiffened, and he turned his head frame by frame, his eyes slowly falling on Bai Yuan.
The boy's face darkened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, and his voice was a little stiff and unnatural:
"Agreement...marriage?"
Bai Yuan smiled and nodded:
"I think you did a good job in driving away the people who were trying to please me. It has given me a lot of peace and quiet recently."
She said leisurely:
"You should also know that I really need such a shield around me. I think your identity as Master Pei is very suitable."
Jiang Ling’s proposal last time did give Bai Yuan a lot of inspiration.
Although she had just arrived in Haiqi, it was the time for her to integrate into the circle and build her own network.
But for her, Haiqi’s social atmosphere of having a small gathering every five days and a big gathering every ten days is more than enough.
Apart from this, daily life in school can only be regarded as building closer relationships and maintaining friendships and connections on this basis.
In comparison, those poorly acted, deliberate and frequent advances, and meaningless pick-ups seem a bit redundant.
The former is effective social interaction, while the latter is ineffective social interaction.
Over time, it took up a large part of her private time and space, which naturally caused her some trouble.
Therefore, when Jiang Ling offered to act as a shield and help her dissuade the annoying approaching men.
Not only did Bai Yuan not refuse, but he also seriously considered the feasibility of this matter.
At that time, she needed some time to investigate the Jiang family and weigh the pros and cons, so she did not reply to him immediately.
Later, because I encountered kidnappers at the school gate a few days ago, my focus was on dealing with this matter, so no decision has been made until now.
Now, Pei Jin's various behaviors made Bai Yuan think about this matter again, and then think about the feasibility of this matter.
Pei Jin happened to see Jiang Ling chatting with Bai Yuan before.
Not only did he block him and threaten him to stay away from Bai Yuan, but before leaving he also robbed Jiang Ling of his idea of chasing people, making Jiang Ling the first victim.
Therefore, Pei Jin naturally knew that Bai Yuan was thinking of finding someone to act as a shield in order to prevent other people from frequently approaching him and showing goodwill.
His deep blue eyes stared at Bai Yuan, as if he wanted to read her thoughts, and asked:
"Aren't you discussing this with the guy from the Jiang family last time?"
Pei Jin curled his lips and said unhappily, "Someone is rushing to help you with your plans, do I really need to take over your place?"
"Since we are choosing a shield, we must choose someone who is effective and has a wider impact."
Bai Yuan looked back into Pei Jin's eyes, met his gaze, and explained frankly:
"In comparison, although the Jiang family is good, it is still slightly inferior to the Pei family."
It can be seen from Pei Jin's extremely high-profile and arrogant style of doing things that anyone who has anything to do with the word "Pei", no matter who they are, must give way to him.
This all-round, no-dead-angle coverage strike area is in line with Bai Yuan's expectations for this matter.
Besides, the Pei family was originally on her list of candidates for marriage.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, choosing Pei Jin as the shield is undoubtedly the best of both worlds for Bai Yuan.
Hearing Bai Yuan's compliments, Pei Jin felt a little less resentful.
Also, because he held a higher position in her heart than Jiang Ling, he felt somewhat proud of himself for being superior to Jiang Ling.
Pei Jin couldn't help but smile, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly:
"You have a good vision."
Seeing his eccentric appearance, Bai Yuan also curved her eyebrows in a good mood and continued:
"Moreover, I also need Pei's resources and support in Haiqi. Only marriage is the most solid and reliable way. Similarly, I also know how much control your aunt has over you——"
A deep understanding flashed across Bai Yuan's beautiful eyes, and he said in a gentle and persuasive way:
"Don't you want to get rid of this predicament, get out of her control, hold the right to speak in your own hands, and have a life that belongs completely to you?"
Hearing this, Pei Jin's eyes were startled for a moment, and then became deep.
He certainly knew how strong his mother's control over him was, which caused him trouble and torture, and even made him feel suffocated at times.
Although Pei Jin had been resisting, he was always defeated because he did not have enough ability, and finally he had no choice but to compromise.
And now...
Bai Yuan took in Pei Jin's correct attitude and his gradually serious look.
Then he said:
"You will be my shield, helping me to fend off those people who keep hitting on me and showing me affection, and I will help you get rid of your aunt's control over you.
After I have successfully inherited the Bai family with the help of Pei family's resources, I will fully support you in controlling Pei family.
In this way, both of us can get what we want and achieve a win-win situation..."
She smiled and said, "That's what the deal is about, what do you think?"
Pei Jin did not answer immediately, but listened quietly to Bai Yuan's words and looked at her silently.
Bai Yuan said again:
"Don't you want to not marry me? Without your aunt's control and coercion, you can naturally cancel the engagement with me if you want.
If you are worried that Pei's stock price will be affected, we can also do it like other people who are getting married, live our own lives in private and not disturb each other. Or..."
At this point, Bai Yuan paused for a moment, and then said slowly in an intriguing tone:
"By then, if you still like me and want to continue the relationship with me—" Bai Yuan looked at him with bright eyes and calmly, "I may consider giving it a try with you, how about it?"
After saying this, Bai Yuan did not rush Pei Jin, but gave him enough time to think and decide. His eyes fell on Pei Jin, and he waited quietly and patiently for his answer.
Pei Jin's brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed an extremely complicated emotion.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, Pei Jin pursed his lips, and when he spoke again, his voice became a little hoarse and low, and he asked in a low voice: "Why... did you help me?"
Pei Jin knew that his mother had always wanted to marry into the Bai family and establish a closer relationship, and she would do anything to achieve this goal.
Even if Bai Yuan didn't make a deal with herself, as long as she wanted, she could get Pei's support from her mother.
In the final analysis, there was no need for her to help herself, but she...
He looked at Bai Yuan, waiting to hear her answer, which he was not even sure if it was the answer he wanted.
"Why?"
Thinking about how Pei's mother treated Pei Jin as a carefully wrapped gift, and when she said "this is for you", her tone was free of burden, relaxed, natural and matter-of-fact.
Bai Yuan kept repeating this question in his mind.
Although Pei's mother wanted to give Pei Jin to her as a gift from Pei's family.
But at that time, Bai Yuan did not accept this precious "gift".
there are many reasons.
There are too many uncertainties.
Not sure whether to marry into the Pei family.
Not sure about Pei's mother's credibility.
uncertain……
Bai Yuan looked at the faint flash of hope in Pei Jin's deep blue eyes.
Like a bright and precious sapphire, it faintly sparkles with the light of hope.
It shines like a star, with an inexplicable attraction that makes it impossible to look away.
It could also be...
She suddenly found that she could not recognize and accept this utilitarian and overly cold-hearted behavior of treating people as trading objects for profit.
This kind of behavior of trampling on and exploiting the dignity of others not only touches her moral bottom line, but also runs counter to her values.
Just as she also wanted to see the brokenness and despair in Pei Jin's eyes, which she had always loved, when he found out that he was given away as a gift.
But he would not really tear this matter apart nakedly and bloodily, and display it cruelly and coldly before his eyes.
As a human being, you must always have a bottom line in life.
Bai Yuan thought about it for a while and replied:
"It's my reward for saving me that day."
Pei Jin knew she was talking about the kidnappers that day.
At that time, he was in the car watching Bai Yuan leaving school, and naturally he noticed the unusual taxi.
As soon as he realized something was wrong, he quickly opened the door and rushed out, pulling Bai Yuan behind him, blocking her in front of her, and facing the driver, who later became the kidnapper.
But before he could knock the opponent to the ground.
Bai Yuan had already used an electric shock self-defense device to deal with the kidnapper.
After hearing this, Pei Jin recalled the scenes during the crisis, his eyes moved slightly, and he continued to ask:
"But I didn't help you at the time. You solved the problem yourself, and you already said 'thank you' to me at the time."
"It's just a verbal thank you, it doesn't count."
When Bai Yuan spoke, there was a hint of gentleness between his brows and a faint smile.
"You wanted to help me and took action, that's enough."
She said seriously, word by word:
"You helped me, and I will help you."
Bai Yuan's words stirred up a huge ripple in Pei Jin's heart.
He suddenly felt a little short of breathing and didn't know how to describe the feeling.
His heart ached, and the pain was like the thread woven by words, slowly wrapping around his heart and tightening inch by inch.
After the pain, a heat current surged in the marks left by the torture. This heat seemed to burn his blood, making his body and heart hot.
"Do you really think I can..." Pei Jin choked up and asked with difficulty, "Can...can..."
"Escape from her control? Take control of Pei's family? Cancel the marriage contract? Or... let me give it a try with you?"
Bai Yuan smiled and said, "Why not? Where do you think you are lacking?"
She combed them one by one and said:
"Aunt is also a human being, and everyone has weaknesses. No one is indestructible. The difference in power between you now is just the difference in personal ability and the right to speak and control over the Pei family.
Abilities can be improved, power can be plundered, and with my help, you can naturally snatch Pei from her and take back your own life.
Although it cannot be realized immediately, I can guarantee that during the time you work with me, you will be under my protection and will not have to worry about your aunt forcing you to do anything, and you will have relative freedom.
To be honest, in my opinion, marriage is just a part of the goal, not an indispensable thing.
When this is over, you and I will both get everything we wanted from each other, and I have helped you so much. With this great favor, even without the constraints of marriage, I believe we will be indestructible allies and each other's strongest backing.
As for whether I can give it a try with you..."
Bai Yuan lowered her eyes and looked at Pei Jin who was sitting on the chair. Seeing his moved expression and his gaze fixed on her, she raised her hand and reached out to his cheek, caressing his slightly flushed face.
I placed my palms on his face, feeling the heat coming from beneath my hands.
Her thumb traced the corners of his eyes, pressed and rubbed gently on his blood-red teardrop mole, and examined his eyes that were so blue that they seemed to glow by themselves.
Bai Yuan said softly with an obvious smile in his eyes, "That depends on how you perform during this period of cooperation."
After saying this, Bai Yuan withdrew the hand that was stroking Pei Jin's face without waiting for Pei Jin to answer.
But it was only lifted up a little, and not yet completely pulled back.
A hot, bony, powerful hand, a size larger than hers, pressed on the back of her hand.
Press down hard, as if to melt into the flesh and bones.
No one had ever spoken to him in such a way, words that touched his heart and bones, knocking on his heart and striking his soul.
Pei Jin pressed Bai Yuan's hand tightly against his face, feeling the cold temperature from her palm, which was completely different from his own, as if to use it to restrain the overwhelming and madly surging heat wave in his heart.
An unknown feeling that he had never experienced before and for the first time in his life hit him with a "whoosh" and pierced his heart accurately.
The neatly folded piece of paper that he had kept in his pocket was constantly transmitting warmth.
It was as if it could burn a deep mark on his body through the layers of clothes.
Pei Jin now felt that the arrow shot by the stick figure on the paper turned around and flew straight back towards him, piercing his heart and piercing through it.
I remembered what Bai Yuan said at that time...
A word comes true...
A word comes true...
A word comes true...
Pei Jin held Bai Yuan's hand tightly, not giving her any chance to pull it away.
He rubbed the side of his cheek against the palm of her hand like a puppy, and rubbed the tip of his nose against the inside of her wrist, sniffing hard for the faint, crisp scent of pine on her hand.
"I……"
As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Pei Jin's voice sounded very low and hoarse, as if it had been dried by the scorching heat in his body.
He cleared his throat and felt a little better. Although he was still mute, he could speak normally.
"I promise you, I agree."
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a weight on his head. A hand was placed on his head, running through his hair, and rubbing his head gently and in a praising manner.
The corners of Bai Yuan's mouth slowly rose, outlining a faint smile.
"My birthday party is in a few days, will you come?"
As she spoke, she took her hand off Pei Jin's head.
The strength and weight on my head disappeared, and recently I have been feeling inexplicably lost.
But the next second, the hand appeared in Pei Jin's sight.
She held out her hand to him, palm open and facing upward.
Pei Jin stared at the hand that Bai Yuan stretched out in front of him, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He raised his hand and placed it on it, squeezing it hard.
He said with an unprecedented firmness:
"Come!"
