Chapter 157 Breakup Dinner

As soon as the words came out, the air froze slightly and the living room was silent.

Pei Yanchuan's Adam's apple rolled, but he couldn't utter a word.

He had a premonition after seeing the puzzle.

Is it Pei Yushan? But that shouldn't be the case. That person probably doesn't have time to deal with this matter recently.

Pei Yanchuan's eyes trembled slightly, and he hugged the person in his arms tightly. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Does it have to be tomorrow?"

Yang Cici rested her forehead on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

She did not answer the question, but said softly: "Pei Yanchuan, let's have dinner together tomorrow night."

Pei Yanchuan was stunned at first, and felt a soreness in his throat.

"Okay... where should we go eat?"

Yang Cici opened her eyes, looked up at him, and slowly uttered three words.

"Linghe Tower."

—

In order to reassure the attacker, after breaking up with Pei Yanchuan, Yang Cici also sent a message to Li Xuanmeng, saying that she planned to break up with Pei Yanchuan tomorrow.

As a result, the next day, Li Xuanmeng invited her to a cafe.

In order to prevent Pei Yanchuan from finding out, she even made a special appointment to meet at the coffee shop near her former company.

Yang Cici lowered her eyes and looked at the successful deduction in her hand. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then a girl's voice came from in front of her.

"Have you decided to break up today?"

She turned off the screen and put down her phone, picked up the sundae in front of her, and nodded slowly, "It's decided. It doesn't matter if we break up sooner or later."

Li Xuanmeng took a sip of coffee, his eyes fell on the girl in front of him, and he said thoughtfully: "Where are you going after breaking up?"

Yang Cici blinked, thought for a while, and then shook her head.

"I don't know. Let's split it up first."

Li Xuanmeng was silent for a while, then suddenly picked up the bag beside her, took out a check and placed it in front of her.

"Here's one million. It's the compensation Pei Si gave me. They probably can't come up with the money now, so I'll advance it for you. I've booked a flight for you tonight to the Maldives. It's a great place for traveling. Take the money and the ticket, and leave tonight."

Yang Cici lowered her eyes and looked at the check on the table. She didn't agree quickly, but suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid? You are also on Pei Yushan's side. Aren't you afraid that Pei Yanchuan will retaliate against you?"

Speaking of this, Li Xuanmeng paused.

She took a sip of coffee uncomfortably: "...I'm fine."

"Why?"

“…”

Looking at the girl's puzzled eyes, Li Xuanmeng was speechless for a moment.

But remembering that they were about to break up, she sighed and said, "Because I have always been helping Pei Yanchuan, I wanted you to break up with Pei Yanchuan because I planned to tell Pei Yanchuan your identity."

Hearing this, the girl opposite blinked, looking a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Is that so? It turns out that Li Xuanmeng is still a two-faced person."

Li Xuanmeng: “…” Is this really a good word?

"So Pei Yanchuan knew my identity a long time ago." Yang Cici turned the ring on her hand and spoke slowly, "Then why didn't he take the initiative to break up?"

Why else? Because he's just a love-brained person.

Li Xuanmeng paused: "Because Pei Yanchuan didn't trust me before."

Yang Cici laughed twice: "It seems that my seduction was quite successful."

Li Xuanmeng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just as she was thinking, the girl in front of her suddenly looked at her with her chin in her hand and said with a smile: "So you have gained Pei Yanchuan's trust through me now, right? What did you say to him? Since we are breaking up anyway, I want to know too."

Li Xuanmeng froze while drinking coffee.

How can I explain this? What happened that day was very violent and bloody.

Moreover, every word she said challenged Pei Yanchuan's bottom line, and was completely jumping on the edge of death.

Thinking of Yang Cici's uncle that day, Li Xuanmeng's face stiffened slightly, and she raised her eyes to remind the girl in front of her.

"I didn't say anything to him. I just told him that you would break up with him sooner or later. You also know that Pei Yanchuan's personality is not as gentle as he seems on the surface. You should leave as soon as possible."

Yang Cici nodded thoughtfully and in agreement, then leaned back and looked at her.

Li Xuanmeng thought the girl would say something, but she just raised her hand and took the invoice.

"Well, it seems you're right."

Yang Cici curiously looked at the invoice and asked, "What time did you book your flight?"

Li Xuanmeng hadn't reacted yet, and subconsciously said: "Ten o'clock in the evening."

"Does Sister Yu Si know?"

"I haven't told her yet."

"Okay, then don't tell her yet."

Yang Cici put the invoice into her bag, then stood up and smiled, "Thank you, Li Xuanmeng."

Li Xuanmeng didn't understand why, but she still subconsciously replied: "...You're welcome."

Watching the girl leave, she asked the system: [What did she thank me for just now?]

The system hesitated and said, "Maybe...thank you for giving her one million?"

As the sky darkened, street lights began to light up.

Yang Cici stood at the door of the hotel, playing games with her head down.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, she raised her head and was surprised to meet a pair of quiet eyes.

The man stood not far away, his dark grey suit neatly ironed and his shoulders sharp. The evening breeze blew across his cuffs, revealing an exquisite and expensive watch on his wrist. A beautiful silver couple ring adorned his bony fingers.

His jaw was taut, his thin lips were pressed into a cold, hard arc, and he exuded a cold aura that made people afraid to approach him.

If you don’t know, you might think they are here to get a divorce.

Yang Cici was stimulated by her own train of thought and put away her phone.

"Come on, let's go in."

The man followed her without saying a word.

The waiter at the door greeted us warmly, "Hello, do you two have a reservation?"

Yang Cici didn't say anything.

Sure enough, the man behind him suddenly spoke:

"I've booked a private room."

She turned her head and took a look, then met Pei Yanchuan's eyes.

After they reported their names, the waiter led the way, and Yang Cici and Pei Yanchuan walked side by side.

She looked around and said, "You told me once before that you wanted to come here for dinner, but it seems like we never came. I didn't expect it to be delayed until now."

Pei Yanchuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

The two walked into the elevator together. The elevator door reflected their appearances, and their eyes met silently in the air.

The man was the first to look away, his eyelids lowered.

Yang Cici glanced at him and spoke slowly:

"Pei Yanchuan, do you remember? Last time we broke up, you asked me to come here, saying it would be our last breakup dinner."

In an instant, Pei Yanchuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and the blood in his body flowed backwards. His face was pale, his heart almost stopped beating at that moment, and his fingertips trembled.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

——Ci Ci finally discovered it.
