Jiang Li stared at him with red eyes, unwilling to admit defeat.
When Pei Zhi saw the little girl's appearance, he knew that he was impatient and tried to calm down his emotions.
After running like this just now, Jiang Li struggled fiercely, and Pei Zhi's dark robe was stained with blood. Only then did he notice the little girl's hand.
The little girl usually loves beauty and takes care of her delicate hands. At this time, big beads of blood appeared.
Pei Zhi held her hand in his palm with some distress, and said in a cold tone: "How is your hand?"
Jiang Li took out her hand and said angrily: "I don't need you to worry about it."
Jiang Li pursed her lips tightly, unwilling to cry again.
The third brother is really moody. I thought he had changed before, but I didn't expect that he hadn't at all.
Pei Zhi's anger, which he wanted to suppress, came out again when he saw Jiang Li's appearance.
There seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes: "Jiang Li, if you go out with him, you will have to bear the consequences."
Jiang Li only felt that these words were inexplicable, and she did not have the ability to predict the future. How could she know that she would encounter such a thing when she went out with her cousin!
She said firmly: "Then third brother, you can leave me alone."
After Pei Zhi heard this, his other hand firmly fixed Jiang Li's wrist.
Gritting his teeth: "You said you don't want me to worry about you?"
For that man, he actually said such words to himself!
Jiang Li turned her head away, unwilling to admit defeat at all: "Yes, I don't need you to worry about it."
On weekdays, it would be fine if it was really my fault, but today I clearly didn't do anything. It was my third brother who was confused about me.
Jiang Li just couldn't bear it anymore.
Pei Zhi laughed angrily and taunted with the corner of his lips: "For him, you don't even let me control you."
The little girl he raised by his side had only met the man a few times, and she was already at this point?
Pei Zhi felt like he was about to vomit out a mouthful of blood.
The injury on his shoulder seemed to have re-opened due to the bump just now.
When Jiang Li heard Pei Zhi's words, she originally wanted to explain what the matter between her and him had to do with her cousin. It was obviously her third brother who got angry at her for no reason.
At the moment, he said a little unscrupulously: "Yes, I just care about my cousin. My cousin is much better than you."
Pei Zhi's whole body exudes coercion, and his tone is sinister: "Jiang Li, say it again if you have the ability."
Jiang Li felt the anger coming from the person surrounding her, and felt a little scared in her heart, but she refused to give up and said: "Again, my cousin is better than you."
She just felt that Pei Zhi would lose his temper and throw her down at any time. Inexplicably, I felt a little guilty, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that I had done nothing wrong at all, and my spine became straight again.
Pei Zhi's voice came from above: "Jiang Li, this is what you said."
Jiang Li stubbornly turned her head and refused to look at him.
Pei Zhi really wanted to throw the person off the horse, but looking at the little girl with red and swollen eyes in his arms, he couldn't bear to do it after all.
The two looked at each other, and in the end, Pei Zhi was defeated.
Neither of them spoke. After a long silence, the cold wind carried Pei Zhi's voice: "Do you like him?"
Jiang Li felt even more confused after hearing this. The reason why she agreed to go out with her cousin this time was to make this aspect clear.
She believed that she had never done anything outrageous, and she had always kept an appropriate distance from her cousin. She didn't know why her third brother had such a misunderstanding.
But Jiang Li was very angry at the moment and didn't want to explain this aspect at all.
Jiang Li didn't say anything, and Pei Zhi took her as his acquiescence.
A pair of eyes looked forward, and his voice was cold and could not be refuted: "He is not worthy of you."
Jiang Li subconsciously retorted: "Third brother has never been in contact with him, how do I know whether he is worthy of me?"
After Pei Zhi heard this, he felt that a string in his heart suddenly broke.
It was just hard to stabilize, and now I finally couldn't bear it any longer.
Jiang Li's words seemed like she had identified that person, but he was just a weak scholar. When he came out and encountered such a thing, he had to hold the little girl back. How could the little girl fall in love with such a person!
How can he be so virtuous and capable in Huating Ye?
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Li spoke again: "Besides, didn't Third Brother just say that he doesn't care about me, so why should he interfere in this choice?"
These words were like a knife piercing Pei Zhi's heart.
Pei Zhi smiled angrily, with a gloomy expression: "What if I have to intervene?"
Jiang Li was already nestled in his arms. When he said this, he took her into his arms with force.
Jiang Li's forehead hit the strong muscles of the person in front of her. She looked up and saw that Pei Zhi's eyes were rarely red, and the red moles at the corners of his eyes were eye-catching. It seemed like someone had bullied him at this moment.
She realized that the third brother was slightly abnormal at this time.
Pei Zhi grabbed her chin: "Jiang Li, I don't allow it."
The little girl he worked so hard to raise should be his——
Jiang Li took a breath and realized that the distance between the two people was too close, "Third brother, calm down first."
"I can't calm down."
Pei Zhi lifted her chin with one hand and took a careful bite. Jiang Li felt a shock all over her body.
There was something in my heart that suddenly collapsed.
She tried hard to push Pei Zhi away, but she couldn't resist at all despite her strength.
Pei Zhi is too strong.
Jiang Li originally felt aggrieved. Now that Pei Zhi acted like this, she felt even more aggrieved. She choked up and said, "Third brother, don't do this. I'm afraid..."
She couldn't figure out why the third brother would do this to her.
Pei Zhi suddenly paused. Feeling the fear of the little girl in his arms, he tried his best to restrain himself and gently bit down and let go.
He grabbed the little girl's shoulders, as if to bury her in his arms.
He could feel the stiffness of holding the little girl in his arms.
He spoke forcefully again, but with a bit of pleading: "Jiang Li, I don't allow you to like him."
For more than ten years, he has always been calm and restrained when it comes to relationships, but in front of Jiang Li, these things will only collapse in an instant.
He couldn't calm down, and he didn't want to calm down.
Pei Zhi knew that he had fallen into Jiang Li's hands.
Jiang Li was stunned and forgot to struggle: "Third brother..."
Pei Zhi looked at her with dark eyes: "Jiang Li, I am better than him."
Jiang Li was still making excuses for Pei Zhi in her heart, but now such straightforward words made her unable to avoid it.
She subconsciously looked at the person in front of her and said angrily: "We are brother and sister."
Pei Zhi clicked his tongue disdainfully: "There is no blood relationship between us."
Yuan Jing is right. They are not even remotely related by blood, so they are just siblings.
Jiang Li paused and said, "Third brother, I just made a joke just to make you angry..."
Pei Zhi chuckled: "But I'm not joking."
"Third brother, don't do this, I'm afraid."
Jiang Li didn't know why things developed in this direction. She had regarded Pei Zhi as her brother from the beginning and had never had any other thoughts.
Pei Zhi was very normal to her, and she didn't notice anything was wrong at all.
Pei Zhi originally wanted to escape in his heart, but he couldn't figure out for a moment how he could fall in love with Jiang Li. He had always regarded her as his sister.
But seeing Jiang Li care so much about that person and what he said to him, Pei Zhi couldn't control his behavior at all.
Now that Pei Zhi knows what he is thinking, he has no intention of sitting still and waiting for death.
Whatever you want, like power and status, you must get it no matter what means you use.
The person he likes can only belong to him.
Jiang Li wants to be with Hua Tingye for the next life.
No, it will never be possible in the next life——
He knew that Jiang Li couldn't accept this at all for a while.
However, he said these words today just to tell Jiang Li what he meant to her.
The two stayed together for a while. Pei Zhi saw the wound on her hand and rode back.
If there were any scars left, the little girl loves beauty and would probably die of discomfort.
After Jiang Li returned to her yard, the doctor came over to bandage her. She was still shocked by what had just happened.
Now it was a bumpy road again, and I fell asleep when I came back.
Pei Zhi waved to the people beside him, and the servants quickly left.
After a while, Jing'antang received news from Pei Zhi and found out that Hua Tingye had taken Jiang Li out and met Xiong Xiazi. Everyone was very worried.
The old lady looked at the dumbfounded Jiang Li and felt very distressed.
"Pei Zhi, how is Li Yatou now?"
Pei Zhi said, "Old madam, luckily I got there in time and didn't cause any big impact. I was just scared."
The old lady couldn't help but complain in her heart. Brother Hua was really good at taking people out for snow hunting and encountered such a thing.
Mrs. Jiang felt very distressed for her daughter who was lying on the bed.
"Thanks to you this time."
Pei Zhi said: "I don't dare to take credit, but it's just that it's better not to let her go out recently."
Everyone expressed their condolences again. The old lady stayed with him for a while and brought many medicinal materials.
——
After they all left, Pei Zhi sat by the bed and looked at Jiang Li who was sleeping carefully.
The little girl was very restless in her dream. He patted her gently, and Jiang Li slowly relaxed and breathed evenly.
After a while, he got up and returned to his yard.
