Chapter 121
The four of them were silent at the dinner table. Xiao Peiyin lowered her head, trying hard to hold back her tears. She didn't dare look up at Xiao Ping, fearing that tears would burst out. Fang Lan remained silent from beginning to end, neither opposing nor supporting Xiao Ping's words. Xiao Ping poured the last glass of wine and clinked glasses with Gu Cunxi. After drinking it in silence, he left the table with his hands behind his back and walked towards the bedroom. He felt a mixture of emotions, but more of a sense of relief that everything had settled.
"Pei Yin, go see your dad! I have something to say to Miss Gu!" Fang Lan suddenly spoke in a calm tone.
Xiao Peiyin looked at her mother, then turned to look at Gu Cunxi, a hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes. Gu Cunxi smiled back, signaling her to listen to Fang Lan.
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Yin nodded and stood up to leave.
Following the sound of a door closing, the living room fell into a brief silence. Fang Lan hesitated to speak for a long time before she said, "I don't know what charm you have that can make my daughter so devoted to you and make everyone around me speak for you!!"
Gu Cunxi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I don't think Uncle and Aunt Wang are speaking for me. They just want Pei Yin to be happy! I know you feel the same way!"
"Are all leaders of large corporations good at saying these nice things?" Fang Lan asked back unhappily.
"As a leader, being able to speak beautifully is indeed one of the essential professional skills!" Gu Cunxi nodded and said, "But that's just work. I won't use those high-sounding words on you!"
"I know you can't agree with me now! But thank you anyway! You are willing to let me have this meal today!" Gu Cunxi picked up the teapot beside him and poured a cup of tea for Fang Lan while speaking.
"Whether I agree with you or not has no impact on the relationship between you and Pei Yin. Anyway, no matter how much I oppose it, you two will not break up. What else can I say as your mother?" Fang Lan sighed helplessly, took a sip of tea and said, "I will not support what you two are doing!"
"I won't object anymore! I can't control my daughter, let alone you, Miss Gu!"
Gu Cunxi's eyes flashed with joy and surprise: "You mean..." She had never expected to get Fang Lan's support, but she would no longer object, which was beyond Gu Cunxi's expectations...
Fang Lan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Go ahead!"
"I can't influence anyone, and I don't want to get involved..."
Gu Cunxi was stunned for a long time, unable to recover for a long time. It took her a while to realize that this was Fang Lan's indirect consent! She was so excited that she didn't know what to say. She took the wine glass, toasted Fang Lan, drank it all in one gulp, lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you for your willingness to give in!"
"Alright! Go back after you finish eating. I won't let you stay overnight at my house!" Fang Lan waved her hand impatiently, but her eyes softened a lot.
“…”
"Then... I'll say a few words to Pei Yin and then leave! I won't disturb you and your uncle's rest!" Gu Cunxi stood up, bowed to Fang Lan, and nodded slightly.
"Take her away!" Fang Lan didn't even look at Gu Cunxi, and stood up and walked towards the living room.
“!!”
"Do you agree that I can take her away?" Gu Cunxi asked in surprise.
"If I don't agree, she won't go with you?" Fang Lan asked back, pausing before adding, "In the past few days at home, her heart has already followed you. What's the point of me keeping her around?"
…
In the bedroom, Pei Yin half-knelt in front of Xiao Ping's knees, lowering her head and saying nothing. Xiao Ping looked at his daughter leaning against him, and thought of Pei Yin's childhood. He raised his hand and stroked his daughter's shoulder, sighing, "Have you ever blamed us in these years?"
"I think you must have blamed me and your mother in your heart, right?"
Pei Yin shook her head with tears in her eyes, unable to speak.
"We made you marry someone you didn't want to marry and made you suffer all these years. It's our fault!" Xiao Ping covered his face with tears, his voice hoarse and trembling, his tone full of guilt.
"Dad! I... don't blame you! What happened in the past... is all in the past. I'm very happy now!!"
Hearing his daughter say that she was happy, Xiao Ping nodded heavily, wiped his eyes, smiled with relief and said, "As long as you are happy, that's enough. Go! Live for yourself! Follow Gu Cunxi... and live the life you really want!"
Xiao Ping helped his daughter to stand up, looked at Pei Yin with a fatherly loving gaze, and pulled her out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Gu Cunxi and Fang Lan were sitting together. Seeing Pei Yin coming out, she quickly stood up and walked over to him: "Uncle!"
"Yes!" Xiao Ping patted Gu Cunxi's shoulder, handed his daughter's hand over, and then took Gu Cunxi's wrist, folded them together and said, "Let Pei Yin drive tonight! I won't keep you here!"
"!" Gu Cunxi shook Pei Yin's hand and was stunned for a moment.
"It's getting late, you guys should go!"
"!" Gu Cunxi's eyes lit up with joy. After a burst of excitement, he turned to Pei Yin and whispered, "Wait for me in the car first!"
Pei Yin didn't know what Gu Cunxi wanted to do to get rid of him. He looked at his parents but couldn't ask. He could only nod, picked up the car keys and left the house.
There was a click of the door lock closing. Gu Cunxi was silent for a moment in the living room. He took out a bank card from his handbag and placed it on the coffee table.
"???" Fang Lan looked at the bank card with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"
"There's a total of one million in this card, and I've written the password on the back! It's a little gift from me! If Pei Yin returns to Jiang Huai with me, and she's not with you for a long time, this money will at least be enough for an emergency!"
Fang Lan was stunned. She had never owned a million dollars in her life! Even Chen Feng had never given them that much. The bank card on the coffee table was so light, but it was worth everything she had in her life...
"Cunxi! These...are too many! We..." Xiao Ping was the first to come back to his senses. After calming down his surprise, he wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Gu Cunxi: "Uncle! This is not money! It's a token of my love!!"
"I hope you and Auntie won't treat me as an outsider. If you accept me, I can be your second daughter!!"
Xiao Ping looked embarrassed. He picked up the bank card on the coffee table and tried to give it back to Gu Cunxi, but was dodged. Gu Cunxi waved his hand, stepped back and said, "If you think this money is too much, then you might as well think of it as me buying Pei Yin's peace of mind!"
"I think she must be most worried about you. If she can't be with you all the time, then this money can at least help you and Auntie solve most of the problems in life! Isn't it?"
Xiao Ping did not deny that money could indeed solve a lot of problems...but they had already made a mistake four years ago. Because they kept taking money from Chen Feng, their daughter had to live a life of humiliation. They should not repeat the same mistake here!
Gu Cunxi saw the tangled, complex emotions of guilt in Xiao Ping's eyes. She guessed that Xiao Ping was hesitant because of the past. She was silent for a while, then slowly opened her mouth and said, "You don't have to worry! In my heart, money can't measure everything. Pei Yin is always above that!"
"Chen Feng is not me, and I will never be Chen Feng!!"
"!" Xiao Ping was surprised that Gu Cunxi saw through his inner worries and concerns. He didn't know what to say for a moment and stood there at a loss.
The bank card held in the air trembled slightly in Xiao Ping's hand. He was silent for a moment and said, "We appreciate your kindness, but we can't take this money. It's too much. We have never earned this much money in our lives. I feel uneasy holding it in my hands!"
"Uncle!" Gu Cunxi reached out and pushed back Xiao Ping's raised hand, saying softly, "This money is what I want to give to you and my aunt as a guarantee! You can also say that I'm giving it on behalf of Pei Yin! Please accept it with peace of mind. It is the common wish of Pei Yin and me to make your lives better!"
…
Downstairs, Xiao Peiyin sat in the car and waited for a long time but Gu Cunxi didn't come down. She was a little worried. Just when she was about to call her, she saw a beautiful figure appear at the door.
Even the darkness could not hide her brilliance! Pei Yin watched her walk towards him through the car window, with joy and stars in her eyes.
The passenger door opened, and Gu Cunxi got in. Before she could say anything, her lips were suddenly sealed by a soft, dense kiss. She couldn't help but whimper, reaching out to hug the woman in front of her, turning her body sideways and leaning against the car window, looking up to meet him...
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, the moment Pei Yin kissed her, she felt a little tipsy, making her mind wander and gradually become confused.
Pei Yin was not as gentle as before, and the kiss was full of plundering breath. She leaned over and pressed Gu Cunxi tighter, and the hand on her waist gradually explored, moved up, and brushed against her hot heart. The palm of her hand could even feel the violent beating of her left heart.
"Pei Pei..." Gu Cunxi closed his eyes and called her, his drunken eyes blurry, "Let's go home!"
"Okay!" Xiao Peiyin's eyes were gentle, as if filled with clear spring water. He looked at the blushing person in front of him, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the lips. He stepped back, curled the corners of his lips and muttered to himself, "Let's go home together!"
Pei Yin drove the car very steadily along the way, fearing that a little bump would make Gu Cunxi uncomfortable. The music in the car was soothing and quiet. Xiao Pei Yin looked at the night view of the South Bank outside the window, and then looked at the person who was slightly drunk and sleeping beside him. He felt that his life became complete at this moment.
This heart that has been damaged and broken in the past four years is gradually healing!
When they returned to the coffee shop, the night was getting darker. Gu Cunxi was sleeping quietly beside them. Pei Yin parked the car, looked at her sideways, and laughed unconsciously. She always looked as well-behaved as a child when she was asleep... Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Xiao Peiyin unbuckled the seat belt lightly, slowly moved over, and stopped at the corner of her lips close to her cheek. With the light from the street lamp outside, he carefully looked at Gu Cunxi's beautiful and delicate features.
She stretched out her hand and brushed across Gu Cunxi's lips. Gu Cunxi felt a little itchy, frowned, pouted, hummed and tilted her head a little. Pei Yin looked at her cute drunken appearance and felt itchy in her heart, like a cigarette addiction. She subconsciously licked her lips and kissed him.
"Hmm..."
In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, Gu Cunxi was kissed until she was gradually breathless. She opened her eyes slightly, looked at the beautiful eyebrows and eyes that were magnified in front of her, and silently indulged him and raised her lips to meet his kiss.
Xiao Peiyin put one hand around her waist and the other hand on the seat, lightly pressing the seat belt button.
Snap
The restraint in front of him disappeared, and Gu Cunxi's body softened. He leaned in Xiao Peiyin's arms, and his long hands hooked up and rubbed her neck gently.
The two of them didn't notice how long the kiss lasted. They just felt their bodies getting hotter and their breathing became faster. The oxygen in the car gradually became thinner as they lingered.
"Go indoors!" Pei Yin stepped back, kissed Gu Cunxi's neck, and said softly
"Okay!" Gu Cunxi nodded. She wanted to get out of the car by herself, but the drowsiness from the drunkenness and the limp body after the kiss made her even weaker.
The car door was opened, and a pair of strong hands passed through Gu Cunxi's waist and neck, carrying the scorching heat of Xiao Peiyin's body, and she was picked up!
"!!" Gu Cunxi reflexively put his arms around Xiao Peiyin's neck and said with a blushing face: "I... can do it myself..."
"You look dizzy and I can't bear to let you go in by yourself!" Xiao Peiyin chuckled and tightened her arms. She has been exercising regularly for the past four years, so it was not difficult for her to hold Gu Cunxi's thin body.
Open the door, turn on the light, go upstairs, all in one go
"Take a shower!" Gu Cunxi closed his eyes and murmured dazedly.
"Will you take a shower tomorrow? You'll feel even more dizzy if you're drunk!" Xiao Peiyin lowered her voice, as gentle as if comforting a child.
Gu Cunxi shook his head, rubbed Pei Yin's shoulder lightly, pursed his lips and said, "I want to wash!!"
"..." Xiao Peiyin held her at the door of the room and hesitated for a moment, then walked to the bathroom, let Gu Cunxi sit next to the sink, turned around to put hot water for her, and reached out to test the water temperature.
After the hot water was ready, Xiao Peiyin walked over, leaned over and kissed Gu Cunxi's ear, then cupped her cheeks with both hands and whispered, "I've prepared the water for you. Can you do it yourself? Do you want... me to help you?"
"Yes!" Gu Cunxi nodded without hesitation, smiled and said, "I want you to accompany me!"
“!”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Peiyin's cheeks flushed, her eyebrows drooped and she pursed her lips. Gu Cunxi, dizzy, closed his eyes and pulled at the buttons in front of him. He undid them for a long time and unbuttoned two of them. He frowned as he unbuttoned them, looking like an impatient child.
Pei Yin looked at her with a soft smile, and reached out to untie the remaining few buttons for her. The clothes slipped from her shoulders, revealing the black ribbon pressing against her collarbone, which was extremely sexy. Xiao Pei Yin couldn't help but swallow, but seeing Gu Cunxi's drowsy appearance, she temporarily suppressed her desire, carried her down from the sink, took off her clothes, and helped Gu Cunxi lie down in the bathtub...
The hot air in the bathroom rushed towards her, bringing with it a fresh fragrance and a body that was barely visible beneath the foam. This made Xiao Peiyin feel even more uncomfortable, and her throat was dry! She gasped, turned away her eyes, put the shower gel and towel beside the bathtub, and was about to turn around and go out for a breath of fresh air when her wrist was tightly grabbed.
Gu Cunxi closed his eyes, rubbed his fingertips on the back of her hand and said softly, "Why don't you ask me?"
"?" Xiao Peiyin was stunned for a moment, then took Gu Cunxi's hand, squatted down, and asked gently, "What do you want me to ask you?"
"I'm waiting for you...waiting for you to ask me in person! I...will answer you!" Gu Cunxi said with a red face and a hoarse voice.
“!!”
Thinking of the call a few days ago... Xiao Peiyin finally realized what Gu Cunxi asked her to ask her...
His face suddenly turned even redder...
She originally wanted to ask... but seeing Gu Cunxi looking dizzy from drinking, she gave up the idea. But now that she brought it up, she couldn't hold it in any longer!
Xiao Peiyin was silent for a while, then lowered her head and kissed the back of Gu Cunxi's hand before she slowly spoke, her voice hoarse and gentle, "Are you...willing?"
The moment she heard this question, Gu Cunxi curled the corners of her lips and smirked as if she had succeeded. Her hazy eyes slowly opened. She supported herself on the edge of the bathtub with one hand and moved her body. She leaned forward and whispered in Xiao Peiyin's ear, "Of course I do! I will always belong to you!"
