Chu Xia opened and closed her eyes again, but didn't answer.
Pei Chi waited for a full five minutes. Seeing that Chu Xia had no intention of speaking, he said in a deep voice: "You deserve to starve to death. I will collect your body then!"
After he finished speaking, he walked away, closed and locked the iron door.
When Chu Xia heard the sound, she opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the iron gate.
She touched her hungry belly again and hummed a tune. Unless she had to, she didn't want to use this stupidest method, but to deal with a pervert like Pei Chi, she had to use perverted methods.
It is the last resort when there is no other choice.
That night, she was so hungry that she could hardly fall asleep. She tossed and turned, until early in the morning, when she fell asleep in a tired state.
She didn't sleep well. In fact, Pei Chi didn't sleep much either. Whenever she closed her eyes, Chu Xia's face was shaking in front of her. She finally took a nap, but it was the scene of Chu Xia's tragic death due to being too hungry.
When it finally dawned, he got up early in the morning and asked the servants to make more delicious breakfasts, all of which were favorite foods in early summer, including Dongpo pork, fatty chicken legs, and some spicy side dishes.
As soon as seven o'clock arrived, he ordered Butler Luo to bring a sumptuous breakfast to the bedroom and opened the iron door.
Chu Xia closed her eyes tightly and almost jumped up when she smelled the aroma of vegetables. In the end, she held back, as a small impatience would ruin her big plans. The top priority was to get out of this cell, not to provide for her own food and clothing.
"People are like iron rice or steel, young lady, you'd better eat some, don't make it difficult for your body." Butler Luo said solemnly.
Chu Xia made no move, so he tried to persuade her for a few more minutes. Seeing that Chu Xia showed no signs of moving her chopsticks, she only left the bedroom.
Pei Chi had been waiting impatiently. When he saw Butler Luo coming back, he hurried forward to greet him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Butler Luo shook his head: "The young lady is probably suffering from depression and is very sick. She said she has no appetite. I think so. Anyone who is locked up like this will suffer from problems."
He thought that this was probably what Chu Xia meant. He might as well say it on behalf of Chu Xia and see how Pei Chi responded.
"If she is obedient, should I lock her up like this?" Pei Chi raised his eyebrows and paced back and forth in the room. He felt very panicked just thinking about an unhungry woman who had not eaten for three meals.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally went to the bedroom, carried Chu Xia, who was lying on the bed, out of the living room, and said softly: "If you eat well and be obedient from now on, and don't go against me, I won't lock you up anymore."
He knew that this was Chu Xia's trick. Although it was clumsy, he just accepted it. This woman was probably sure that he was no match for her, right?
Chu Xia, who was sleeping, was surprised and happy. She opened her eyes and met Pei Chi's gentle eyes.
"I will be very good. If you tell me to go east, I will not go west again." Chu Xia whispered back.
Pei Chi's expression softened, and he pressed a kiss on Chu Xia's forehead: "This is a good boy, let's eat."
Chu Xia was already very hungry. Seeing that she had achieved her goal, she stopped pretending. After all, with Pei Chi's behavior, he could see her tricks, right?
She grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth, nodding while eating: "It's delicious."
"Knowing that you are not hungry, you still torture yourself in this way. You deserve it." Although he was so harsh, Pei Chi's eyes when he looked at Chu Xia were so soft that he could shed tears.
Pei Ze and Pei Qin stood not far away and saw clearly. The two brothers and sisters each sighed, feeling the same emotion in their hearts.
Pei Chi probably can't escape Chu Xia's clutches in this life, right? He obviously wanted to abuse Chu Xia, but in the end he only abused himself.
It's just that it's impossible for the eldest son of the Pei family and Chu Xia to get together smoothly like this, right?
On this day, in order to take care of Chu Xia, Pei Chi did not go to work.
Whatever Chu Xia wanted, Pei Chi gave it to him with both hands. At first glance, outsiders felt that Chu Xia and Pei Chi had returned to their original sweet time.
Only Chu Xia herself knew that at a certain moment when she didn't expect it, Pei Chi would look at her with extremely strange and indifferent eyes. At that time, Pei Chi must have been thinking of his deceased mother.
There is an invisible gap between her and this man, and there is an invisible bomb that may explode one day, blowing her and Pei Chi to pieces.
The next day, Chu Xia regained her energy and asked to go to work with Pei Chi.
Upon seeing this, Pei Chi praised Chu Xia lavishly, and even took her to buy a set of designer clothes and handbags, as well as a valuable necklace, saying it was a reward for her obedience.
That night, she came out of the bathroom and saw Pei Chi sitting on the sofa, standing with her back facing him. Looking at his back, she could see the indifference of being thousands of miles away.
She was stunned for a while, then managed to pull herself together, squeezed in beside him and sat down, bumped Pei Chi's shoulder lightly and asked, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Pei Chi said nothing, just looked at the documents in his hand.
Seeing this, Chu Xia picked it up curiously. When she saw the five characters "divorce agreement", her heart stung slightly.
She knew that this day would eventually come, but when it did come, she felt at a loss as to what to do.
Originally, she and he had a contractual marriage. Except for her and the Pei family, no one even knew that she and Pei Chi were husband and wife. Even if they are really divorced now, no one knows that she was once Pei Chi's wife, right?
She took the divorce agreement and pursed her lips with a smile: "So this thing looks like this. I originally thought that if I had the opportunity, I would show it off to the world, especially some of the Pei family's despised people, so that they would know that I am the president's wife.
, at least scare them. But it’s also good, if we really want them to know that I resigned not long after I became the CEO’s wife, why don’t they take the opportunity to laugh at me?”
Pei Chi remained silent. It was very interesting to hear Chu Xia talk and even hear her talk about imaginary things.
"Sign it, and the boss and I will no longer be bound by marriage. From now on, it will no longer matter if a man marries a woman, right?!" Chu Xia kept mumbling for a while, then looked at Pei Chi and asked.
Pei Chi nodded: "Sign."
Chu Xia smiled and took the pen, "Can I not sign it? At least I have a false name, which makes me feel superior to others. Didn't you say that if I want the position of the CEO's wife, keep it for me?"
.”
Pei Chi looked at Chu Xia absentmindedly, as if there was something like this in his memory.
Seeing Pei Chi's embarrassed look, Chu Xia couldn't help but deepen her smile: "I'm joking, don't be scared." She quickly signed her name, seriously and attentively.
When the marriage agreement was signed, Pei Chi was not around. She only regarded the marriage as a tool to make money. At that moment, she never thought about taking it seriously.
Now that the marriage is about to end, it is the time when she is most serious. This result is somewhat ridiculous.
