Pei Ziheng's tone was gentle but firm. "It's human nature to rest when sick. It's not a privilege."
Xia Ling glared at him. "I'm going to class!" She did not know why she was being so stubborn. It was probably because he had been bad to her yesterday, so she didn't want to obey him today. Her cheeks were flushed red due to her emotions and sickness, making her look beautiful under the rays of morning light.
Pei Ziheng felt something in his heart stir slightly.
But he still did not give in. "Today Driver Li is on holiday."
Xia Ling was angry. "If you don't let him send me, then I'll go myself!" She didn't know where her sudden strength came from, but she put slammed her fork heavily and rushed out of the house.
"Miss!" Nanny Zhou yelled behind her in worry, chasing her a few steps before looking back at Pei Ziheng. "Sir!"
Pei Ziheng sat in the same place and didn't move. "Let her go."
