Chapter 54
After Jiang Rao finished discussing the case and returned home, he changed into a professional suit. Thinking of Gu Cunxi whom he met in the parking lot, he fell into deep thought. The ringing of his cell phone broke Jiang Rao's thoughts.
"Sister, are you home?" Jiang Shu asked
"Well, I just got home. What's up?"
"Did you save the phone number?" Jiang Shu said in a light and playful tone.
Jiang Rao knew that the phone number his sister was talking about was Gu Cunxi. He frowned slightly, feeling a little guilty. After a moment of silence, he continued: "I deleted it..."
"Ah? Why did you delete it? Please, sister, I finally helped you get it, you are too ungrateful." Jiang Shu said helplessly, his tone full of blame.
"Didn't I tell you that I'm not interested? Take care of yourself and stop doing these boring things."
Jiang Rao hung up the phone after saying that. Looking at the number he had saved in his address book, he felt a little emotional. This woman, whom he had only met twice, was indeed attractive to him... Was it her appearance? Or was it her cool and aloof temperament?
The next morning, Pei Yin got up very early and prepared breakfast for Cunxi. In the past few years, she would prepare breakfast every morning for An An and Chen Feng. The repetitive things that happened day after day were as bland as boiled water. But today, his mood was completely different because the person next to him was Gu Cunxi. Doing things for love always makes people feel happy and tireless.
In the bedroom beside her, Cunxi rolled lazily on the bed. When she reached out, she found that Pei Yin was no longer beside her. She lost her sleepiness immediately. When she got up, she found Pei Yin standing at the door, smiling at her. The warm sunlight shone on her body, shining with golden light.
"The loving breakfast is ready, get up quickly, Cunxi," Pei Yin said lovingly.
"Well, I need a kiss to wake up." Cunxi's tone was gentle and coquettish.
Pei Yin leaned against the door and looked at Cunxi like a child. It was as if there was a flame burning in his heart. He felt very warm and his smile became more and more intense. After a long time, he stood up and walked towards the bed. He stood aside and leaned over to give Cunxi a kiss on the corner of his lips.
Feeling Pei Yin's kiss, Cunxi finally gave up, with a satisfied smile on his lips, his mouth wide open, his eyes curved into crescent shapes and he chuckled softly.
She raised her hand to check the time and found that it was past nine o'clock. She slept particularly deeply this time because Pei Yin was by her side. The recent period was the most restful nights Gu Cunxi had had in recent years!
The two hurriedly finished their breakfast and set off to the notary office. City Z was particularly congested in the morning. Although it was a little worse than City B, the journey of just a few kilometers took nearly an hour.
"Pei Pei, do you have your ID card with you?" Cunxi asked gently.
"Huh? My ID card has always been in my backpack. What do you need it for?" Pei Yin looked at Gu Cunxi with confusion in his eyes.
“I’ll need it later.”
Cunxi didn't say much and just pulled Pei Yin to the notary office. Seeing that the owner's daughter was already waiting at the door, Cunxi quickened his pace and walked over.
The three of them spent the whole morning at the notary office waiting to handle the transfer procedures. When confirming the ownership of the house, Cunxi took Pei Yin's ID card and handed it to the notary office staff.
"Cunxi...no," Pei Yin said quickly.
Before Pei Yin could finish, Cun Xi interrupted her refusal and said firmly: "No problem! This is my promise. I hope you won't reject me, Pei Pei..."
The young lady who was the owner of the house looked at the two people in front of her blankly. For a moment, her eyes were a little complicated, and she secretly speculated about the relationship between the two.
After completing all the transfer formalities, Cunxi remitted the remaining balance to the other party's bank account in one lump sum. Pei Yin, who was standing by, kept her head down and remained silent. She frowned slightly as she looked at the red book in Cunxi's hand. She had to admit that she was very excited at the moment because this would be her and Cunxi's future home, a small harbor belonging to the two of them. But at the same time, Pei Yin's heart was also very heavy.
Thinking about how much Cunxi gave for her, Pei Yin felt heavier and more guilty. That feeling of powerlessness and inferiority came over her frequently, each time eroding her heart and making her more and more uneasy. It was hard to explain that feeling of powerlessness, just like the feeling when Cunxi gave her clothes. Gifts that were beyond her ability to pay would make her feel uneasy. Although Chen Feng gave her a lot of money during these years when she was unemployed, the money always stayed there. Apart from the family, she did not have too much expenses. Although she really wanted to buy something for Cunxi, she could never use Chen Feng's money!
"Pei Pei, let's go take a look at our new home." Cunxi took Pei Yin's hand and said as he walked briskly.
Cunxi's words interrupted Pei Yin's thoughts. He turned around and saw Cunxi smiling. Suddenly, Pei Yin's heart lightened up.
It was already afternoon when the two drove to Mingjiang Garden. Gu Cunxi held Pei Yin's hand and walked towards the door, his heart full of anticipation.
"Pei Pei, let's eat out tonight and celebrate together. There are still many things to buy in the new house. The decision is up to you. We will decorate it according to the style you like, okay?" Cunxi said gently
"We can go to IKEA and buy everything you like."
Cunxi was talking to herself on the side, and Pei Yin just walked quietly beside her, nodding and smiling softly. She didn't want Cunxi to discover her inner entanglement and helplessness. Pei Yin thought to herself that she was willing to give everything for Gu Cunxi. Although she didn't have much now, as long as Cunxi wanted, she was willing to give her!
On the other side, Jiang Rao had an appointment with a client to discuss a case in the afternoon, which was a divorce case. She looked at her watch, changed her clothes, and hurried out with the documents. Looking at the documents in her hand, Jiang Rao thought of Gu Cunxi, who she met in the parking lot yesterday... They obviously had no intersection, but this person had frequently appeared in her mind since yesterday. The beautiful appearance... the cold temperament... all attracted her... Jiang Rao quickly shook her head and sighed slightly, trying to clear her mind. Could it be that she had been single for too long?
"We won't see each other again anyway, so let's not think about it..." Jiang Rao thought secretly in his heart, and walked out of the elevator. The sunlight outside was a little dazzling. Jiang Rao took out sunglasses from his bag and covered her beautiful eyebrows and eyes. He walked out. She was tall and straight, wearing a professional suit. The white shirt was shining white under the sunlight. The dark sunglasses revealed a hint of seriousness and coldness.
Jiang Rao walked while admiring the scenery in Mingjiang Garden. The greening here is very beautiful. Looking around, there is green everywhere. There is a large pond and bamboo forest next to it. In the summer, it would be very pleasant to sit by the bamboo forest, look at the pond, and blow the breeze.
Just as Jiang Rao was thinking, she looked up and spotted Gu Cunxi walking towards her from a distance. She felt a mixture of surprise and nervousness, a hint of joy hidden behind her sunglasses. Jiang Rao glanced to the side and frowned slightly. She realized that the person walking beside Cunxi was... the gentle woman she had met in her sister's shop that day... This woman couldn't be called beautiful, but she exuded a strong feminine charm, possessing an intellectual beauty that was both elegant and gentle...
Jiang Shu said that Gu Cunxi and he were the same kind of people. If he understood correctly, then Gu Cunxi should like women just like him...
"I wonder what the relationship is between the woman next to me and Gu Cunxi, they seem very close..." Jiang Rao thought secretly in his heart. Seeing Gu Cunxi getting closer and closer to him, he suddenly had the urge to step forward and say hello. Jiang Rao deliberately slowed down his pace, and the pair of eyes hidden under the sunglasses looked straight at the person walking towards him, hoping that the person could also look at him.
Gu Cunxi did not recognize Jiang Rao, to be more precise, she did not even look at him. From beginning to end, her eyes stayed on Pei Yin beside her, never leaving her. The two of them talked and laughed, and just like that, they passed by Jiang Rao without a trace and walked away.
The moment he passed by Gu Cunxi, Jiang Rao clearly heard Cunxi calling the woman beside him in a gentle and doting tone, "Pei Pei..."
Jiang Rao stopped and looked back, with a hint of loss between his eyebrows. Seeing Gu Cunxi's figure disappear from his sight, Jiang Rao shook his head, feeling that he had really lost his mind. He chuckled to himself, calmed down, and turned to walk towards the door. His expression returned to its previous seriousness and calmness.
