On the other end of the phone, it was quiet again, and no sound could be heard.
Jiang Chuning didn't hang up the phone, he was so stubborn and wanted to wait for something.
After a long time, a busy signal came.
She threw her phone away and fell straight on the bed.
In fact, everything in her life has gone smoothly except that she cannot leave Jiangzhou. No matter what she wants, her father will satisfy her.
So what Sister Shanshan said that day made sense. She seemed to be unusually paranoid about the things she didn't get.
But, Jiang Shanghan's toys and clothes were different from those she had when she was a child.
The more she wants, the less she gets.
…
Ottawa.
While Daniel was applying medicine, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
He subconsciously wanted to cover the wound with clothes, but Pei Shanshan had already walked over and took the cotton swab in his hand: "It's not like I haven't seen it before. There's nothing to block it."
Daniel raised the corners of his lips: "I'm afraid you will be worried when you see it."
Pei Shanshan made a sound, but her eyes couldn't help but fall on his wound.
This time was different from the previous injuries in the hospital. There were more bloody stab wounds, and there were bullet marks on the shoulder.
Pei Shanshan couldn't help but frown. She knew that Daniel had gone out early and returned late these days, and he was investigating Amanda, so there must be some danger, but she didn't expect... that it would be so dangerous.
Pei Shanshan leaned over and used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean his wound without saying a word.
Although she didn't say anything, Daniel could feel her nervousness and worry.
He said easily: "It's nothing really. I just accidentally broke a piece of glass. It will be fine in two or three days."
Pei Shanshan murmured in a low voice: "It's still two or three days away. See for yourself, the scars from your previous injuries are still there."
Daniel saw this and held her wrist: "Are you not angry anymore?"
Pei Shanshan hummed, threw away the cotton swab, and went to get the gauze: "Why should I be angry? I am happy every day."
Ottawa is not a big city, and Daniel was away these days, so the driver took her around almost the entire city.
Daniel said: "I've finished my work here, and I have two days left to play with you."
"I've already been to fun places. If I have nothing to do, I'll go back..."
"Didn't I tell you before that I will teach you how to skate?"
Daniel continued, "Besides this, there is another very important thing."
Pei Shanshan asked: "What?"
"You'll know tomorrow."
Pei Shanshan wasn't very interested in the situation he was selling. After treating his wounds, and just about to leave, Daniel said: "You're not angry anymore, why don't you sleep downstairs tonight?"
"I……"
Daniel knew what she was minding, so he said: "I swear, this bed... has never been slept on by anyone except me."
Pei Shanshan said: "She even got the key to your house and came in openly. How do you know she didn't lie on your bed by herself?"
Daniel said: "I found out about the key. The maid comes here to clean every once in a while. She picked a time to come over when they were cleaning, and then secretly took the key away.
As for the bed, I really can’t guarantee whether she has slept on it herself.”
As he said that, he picked up the phone and said, "I asked them to send a new bed over."
Pei Shanshan pulls him: "It's so late, why bother?"
Pei Shanshan grew up in an ordinary family, and she couldn't bear to see their kind of capitalism boss people around anytime and anywhere.
Daniel raised his head and smiled a little: "Then can you sleep here tonight?"
Pei Shanshan looked at Daniel, then at the bed, and finally made a decision.
She took out all the quilts in the closet, placed them on the mattress, and changed all the sheets and quilt covers before lying down peacefully.
The entire bed was piled up almost fifty centimeters high on the original foundation.
Daniel's brows twitched inadvertently: "Isn't it uncomfortable to fall asleep like this?"
Pei Shanshan said: "It's not uncomfortable, it's soft and warm."
After a pause, she added: "If you feel uncomfortable sleeping, I'd better go down and sleep."
Just as she was about to stand up, Daniel held her back: "No, that's it."
Daniel turned off the light, lay next to her, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry about what happened before, I promise it won't happen next time."
In the darkness, Pei Shanshan opened her eyes: "Is there anything to be sorry for? Haven't you also met Li Ang and Zhong Wenbo?"
Although she and Zhong Wenbo had no relationship, they had tried to get in touch with each other for a while, and they were considered boyfriend and girlfriend.
In this way, she still didn't suffer. Daniel had met two of her exes, and she had only met one now.
Daniel said: "That's right, after all, you have already discussed marriage with them."
Pei Shanshan was annoyed and poked him with her arm, and Daniel immediately snorted.
Pei Shanshan was startled and turned around quickly: "Did I touch your wound? I didn't mean it. Is it bleeding? Let me see..."
Daniel directly pulled her into his arms, put his hands around her waist, and said miserably: "It's okay, I'm used to the pain, just bite the bullet and it'll be over."
Pei Shanshan pushed him gently: "Are you lying to me or does it really hurt?"
Daniel said: "Anyway, it won't hurt if I hold you."
Pei Shanshan: "..."
Daniel whispered: "Go to sleep, I will take you skating tomorrow morning."
"Whoever skates has to go in the morning, why not in the afternoon?"
"I have other arrangements for the afternoon."
Pei Shanshan curled her lips, but didn't say anything, and slowly closed her eyes.
Early the next morning, while Pei Shanshan was still sleeping, Daniel pulled her up.
Pei Shanshan looked at the time vaguely and said: "You didn't get up earlier than any other chicken."
Daniel: "..."
He said: "I asked the driver about your skating skills. It will take more time to learn."
Pei Shanshan was speechless and kicked him. She thought Daniel took her to go skating just for fun, to fall in love and get tired of it.
Who knew that he, the King of the Sea, could be such a straight man?
Pei Shanshan covered her head with a quilt: "I don't want to go so early. It's not even bright yet. If you want to go, you can go by yourself."
Daniel was silent and lay down next to her again: "Then wait until you wake up."
Because of his interruption, Pei Shanshan woke up not long after sleeping. When she opened her eyes, it was just getting light outside.
Pei Shanshan yawned and went downstairs after washing, only to see a row of skating equipment placed beside the fireplace.
She said while drinking water: "Why did you buy this? Can't the venue be rented directly?"
Daniel adjusted the tightness of the skates: "You have to have your own. You can use it anytime you come here."
