Chapter 373 Responsible for the future
Meng Ling's expression seemed a little conflicted, and her eyes were wandering.
Pei Yanqing noticed the change in Meng Ling's expression. His expression gradually softened and his eyes were full of patience.
"Mengling, I know this is a big decision for you. I will not force you to respond. I have told my parents that only when you are completely ready and agree to our relationship, we will got engaged."
Mengling's expression gradually became serious, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
There was a hint of reproach in her voice: "Yan Qing, why don't you discuss such an important matter with me first? You make your own decisions, which makes me feel very passive."
Pei Yanqing was speechless for a moment. He obviously did not expect Meng Ling to have such a reaction.
In an instant, Pei Yanqing's expression turned serious, and there was a hint of weight in his tone, "Mengling, I know I may be a little eager for success, but I have really considered our future seriously. Of course, you can disagree at all."
Mengling stood there, with an aggrieved expression on her face.
She looked at Pei Yanqing, her eyes full of mixed emotions, but she didn't speak and just stood quietly.
At this moment, the vehicle driven by Assistant Qin arrived at their location.
Pei Yanqing said softly: "Let's go back."
Mengling nodded, and the two walked to the vehicle together.
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat silent, but Pei Yanqing would occasionally try to lighten the atmosphere by chatting casually.
Although Meng Ling remained silent, she occasionally responded with a smile.
When the car stopped at the door of the Pei family's old house, Mengling said softly to Pei Yanqing: "Yanqing, can you take me home? I want to be alone for a while."
Pei Yanqing looked at Meng Ling with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"Mengling, it's not a good idea to go back directly now. Grandma will definitely be worried, and dinner is almost ready. Let's talk about it after dinner here. I don't want grandma to worry too much."
Mengling shook her head, her voice calm.
"Yan Qing, no need, I'll walk back by myself."
Pei Yanqing looked at Meng Ling with helplessness in her eyes.
He knew that any forceful persuasion at this moment might be counterproductive, so he said softly.
"Okay, Mengling, I'll take you back."
Pei Yanqing walked to the door of the old house and explained to Mrs. Pei.
"Grandma, there are some urgent matters at my school that need to be dealt with. I have to leave first."
Although Mrs. Pei was a little surprised, she still nodded to express her understanding: "Okay, Yan Qing, be careful on the road."
Pei Yanqing led Mengling out of the old house, and they got into the car together.
The car slowly drove out of the old house and drove towards Meng Ling's residence.
Throughout the journey, the atmosphere in the car seemed a bit heavy.
Mengling looked out the window quietly, immersed in her own thoughts, while Pei Yanqing was driving intently, occasionally glancing at Mengling secretly, her eyes full of concern.
When she arrived at the door of Mengling's house, Mengling opened the car door and got out of the car alone and walked to the door.
Pei Yanqing also followed closely.
Mengling turned to Pei Yanqing and said in a low voice, "Yanqing, please go first. I need some time to be quiet."
Pei Yanqing stood at the door of Meng Ling's house, looking at her back, and a determination not to leave emerged in his heart.
He remembered the pain of the last breakup and didn't want to let misunderstandings and silence hurt their relationship again.
Pei Yanqing took a deep breath and walked directly into Meng Ling's home.
His voice was sincere: "Mengling, I know you may need personal space now, but I don't want our problems to be unresolved anymore. I will sleep on the sofa, and we can talk if you want."
Mengling stood in the living room and looked at Pei Yanqing, with complex emotions welling up in her heart.
A flash of surprise flashed across her face, then softened.
Mengling has lacked the warmth of her family since she was a child, which makes her always conflicted and confused when facing deep emotions.
Pei Yanqing's persistence and sincerity moved Meng Ling's heart.
She approached Pei Yanqing, her eyes revealing a new determination.
Although Meng Ling's movements were a little hesitant, they were full of sincere feelings.
She gently, almost hesitantly, raised her head, and then kissed Pei Yanqing slowly.
This move was not only a response to Pei Yanqing's firm attitude, but also a confirmation of her feelings.
At that moment, all the confusion and contradictions seemed to be answered.
Pei Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were filled with love.
This sudden kiss broke all his defenses and made him deeply feel Meng Ling's feelings for him.
Pei Yanqing gently hugged Meng Ling and responded to her kiss. The air between them was filled with sparks of ambiguity and emotion.
Pei Yanqing suddenly stopped in this emotional and ambiguous atmosphere, and there was a hesitation in his eyes.
Meng Ling felt this change, and her eyes were full of doubts and confusion.
"Yanqing, what's wrong?" Meng Ling's voice was soft, and her hand gently touched Pei Yanqing's cheek, trying to find the answer.
"Mengling, we are not married yet, I am responsible for you and our future." Pei Yanqing's voice was low.
His eyes were full of affection and hope for the future.
Mengling's eyes flashed with complex emotions, including a hint of surprise and deep emotion.
Pei Yanqing's words filled her heart with warmth, and she became even more convinced that Pei Yanqing was a partner she could rely on.
Meng Ling's heart was filled with peace of mind.
She knew that by Pei Yanqing's side, she would get love and respect, and her past uneasiness and confusion were healed by Pei Yanqing.
Meng Ling deeply felt that Pei Yanqing was not only her lover, but also her most solid support.
At this time, Jiang Yuzhu and Pei Jingchuan had dinner together at the Pei family's old house, and the atmosphere was warm.
Mrs. Pei's concern made the dinner time full of family warmth.
After the meal, Jiang Yuzhu said softly to Mrs. Pei: "Grandma, my feet are much better. Jingchuan and I are ready to go home."
Pei Jingchuan also added: "Grandma, I will take good care of Yu Zhu, please don't worry."
Mrs. Pei's eyes showed deep affection, and she said softly: "Good child, be careful on the road. If you need anything, please tell me at any time."
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Pei, Pei Jingchuan carefully supported Jiang Yuzhu, and the two returned to their home together.
On the way, Pei Jingchuan gently asked Jiang Yuzhu how he felt about his foot injury. His concern made Jiang Yuzhu feel very warm.
After arriving home, Pei Jingchuan carefully helped Jiang Yuzhu sit down, and then prepared a comfortable cushion for her to ensure that her ankles could get proper rest.
His every move reveals meticulousness and care.
In this peaceful night, Pei Jingchuan's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the tranquility.
He picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was Gu Qiyang.
Pei Jingchuan said calmly: "Yuzhu, let me answer the phone." He walked aside and answered the phone.
"Qi Yang, what's wrong so late?" Pei Jingchuan's voice was calm.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Qiyang's voice seemed a little heavy.
"Jingchuan, it's about Qing Ning. She has breast cancer and has had surgery, but she has been hiding it from us."
