Chapter 67
In the western restaurant, the sound of beautiful piano music filled the ears. The two sat in the corner by the window, facing each other in silence, but their eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of thoughts.
The waiters on the side brought out exquisite dishes of various sizes and left silently.
Gu Cunxi looked at the person sitting in front of him and couldn't help wanting to go forward and hold her in his arms to ease his longing...
"Have you negotiated the venue?" Pei Yin asked with a smile on his face.
"Well, we've come to an agreement. The person in charge is very difficult to deal with." Gu Cunxi nodded.
"It was so difficult, but you still managed to get it, Mr. Gu," Pei Yin said with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"Huh?" Gu Cunxi raised his eyebrows
In the past, whenever Pei Yin called her President Gu, Gu Cunxi would think she was angry with her. However, recently, this person has been calling her that in a joking tone from time to time, which made her a little confused.
"Pei Pei... why do you always call me Mr. Gu?" Gu Cunxi couldn't help but ask
Pei Yin did not intend to tell Cunxi the reason. Ever since they got together, whenever she called her General Manager Gu in the company, she always felt a secret intimacy in her heart, which made her blush and her heart beat fast. This so-called office romance
"Well, maybe you're used to it in the company... Don't you like me calling you that?" Pei Yin asked with a smile.
It seems that I don’t dislike it... Cunxi thought to himself
"Pei Pei..."
"Hmm?" Xiao Peiyin raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Gu Cunxi with gentle eyes.
"I'll take you somewhere after dinner," Gu Cunxi said with a smile
"Where"
"Well, you'll know when you get there."
Pei Yin nodded and smiled. Although she was a little curious, she was willing to go anywhere as long as the person next to her was Gu Cunxi.
"Pei Pei, eat more. I feel bad for you because you've lost weight." Gu Cunxi smiled and raised his head, his eyes full of pity.
After that, she reached out and moved the plate in front of her to Pei Yin.
"Cunxi, you will feed me like a pig if you do this." Pei Yin smiled gently.
"I like you to eat more!"
"Even if you're a piglet, you're the cutest one."
“Ding ding~”
The phone beside me rang. It was a message from Cheng Sheng.
[Sister Cunxi, I checked, it starts at 9 o'clock]
I'm sure!
Have fun!
Since the last time she talked to Cheng Sheng, things between them had gradually returned to normal. Cheng Sheng would even tease her from time to time, and occasionally come over to ask if things were going well between her and Pei Yin.
From Cheng Sheng's eyes, one can see her relief and sincerity. Gu Cunxi knows that she is sincerely blessing herself. Such Cheng Sheng gradually makes her feel relieved, but there is still a trace of regret deep in her heart.
Because he didn't know much about Jianghuai City and there were no familiar people around, Gu Cunxi asked Cheng Sheng
"Opening hours of Jianghuai City's most famous musical fountain"
As soon as Cheng Sheng heard that she was going with Pei Yin, he acted as if he would leave it to her.
"Cunxi?"
"Um?"
"What are you thinking about? You're so absent-minded, is it about the company?" Pei Yin asked after taking a sip of juice.
“No, it’s Cheng Sheng.”
"I... didn't understand something, so I asked her about it," Gu Cunxi added.
When Pei Yin mentioned Cheng Sheng, she thought of the conversation she had at lunch, and a blush crept up her cheeks.
"Ahem... I had lunch with Cheng Sheng at noon."
Gu Cunxi was puzzled by her hesitant look. He raised his eyebrows and asked: So...what did you talk about?
"Yeah... we talked." Pei Yin nodded with a smile.
Gu Cunxi thought carefully about the conversation he had with Cheng Sheng that day.
“!!”
Cheng Sheng has always been straightforward, so he probably told Pei Yin everything he said...
Seeing Gu Cunxi's somewhat nervous look, Pei Yin smiled even more.
"What...what did you talk about?"
"Is there something you don't want me to know? Why are you so nervous?" Pei Yin said with a smile, a hint of teasing on his face.
“…”
"Nothing...it's just..." Pei Yin paused.
"What is it?" Gu Cunxi's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells.
"It's just... I heard someone say I'm her only choice!"
After saying that, Pei Yin shook the knife and fork in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked like he couldn't help laughing.
“…”
Cheng Sheng is such a straight shooter...
Pei Yin looked at Gu Cunxi's awkwardness with gentle eyes. She drank the juice in front of her mouthful after mouthful and couldn't help wanting to laugh.
"Did I say that? I don't remember." Gu Cunxi didn't want to admit it in front of Pei Yin. It was embarrassing.
"I just need to remember it~"
“…”
The largest music fountain square in Jianghuai City is the architectural landmark here. There are endless tourists coming here every year. There is still half an hour before the music fountain starts.
Pei Yin walked beside Gu Cunxi, holding hands tightly, looking at her sideways, with gentle eyes.
“Cunxi…is this where you want to bring me?”
"Well, let me show you the fountain." Gu Cunxi smiled.
"Has anyone brought you here?" Gu Cunxi asked again
"No…"
Pei Yin's eyes darkened and she pursed her lips.
"Chen Feng... doesn't he have any?"
This was the first time Gu Cunxi mentioned Chen Feng since the last incident. Pei Yin was stunned and the strength in his hands tightened unconsciously.
"No…"
"After the blind date...we got married soon," Pei Yin said calmly.
"After we got married, he asked me to quit my job and focus on my family."
"I promised..."
"Later, his desire to control me started to show. He would check my phone and the content of my chats... He would set the time I could go home and didn't want me to have any contact with outsiders. As a result, I didn't have many friends over the years."
Pei Yin's eyes gradually darkened, and his eyes were deep, as if he was recalling the past.
"Pei Pei..." Gu Cunxi squeezed her hand tightly, wanting to say something, but couldn't speak.
"I've filed for divorce countless times over the years. It's like a nightmare I can't wake up from."
"But every time, he would bring up my parents. You know, they need money, they need Chen Feng's money."
"Because he's a public servant, divorce would have an impact on his career, so... he needs me to play the role of his perfect wife in front of his friends and colleagues."
"From the perspective of outsiders, my marriage is very happy. My husband is powerful and considerate."
"Chen Feng acted very well...and I'm not bad either"
"but…"
"But what?" Gu Cunxi frowned slightly and looked at her and asked
"But you saw through it right away, didn't you?"
"I..." She paused and didn't answer. Thinking of the uneasiness in Pei Yin's eyes when she first met Chen Feng, her heart sank.
"Gu Cunxi, thank you!"
Pei Yin stopped and turned to face her, with a frank smile in his eyes.
"If it weren't for you... maybe I would have been acting forever"
"But you showed up, you keenly noticed my embarrassment and disguise, you exposed me."
"You gave me the courage to escape this vicious circle at all costs."
"You gave me love, and made me want to risk everything for love at the age of 32."
"So...Gu Cunxi, thank you for coming to me!"
"Thank you... for being willing to love me!"
The bells in the square rang, and the fountain in the center played music and the water rushed out. Suddenly the lights came on and the surroundings became colorful. They stood face to face, with only each other in their eyes.
Pei Yin looked at the person in front of her with gentle eyes. She felt an itch in her heart, like she was addicted to smoking. She raised her head slightly and moved closer. The tip of her nose brushed against Gu Cunxi's cheek, which was as soft as cotton.
"Pei Pei..."
Gu Cunxi tilted his head to meet her, and the two of them were so close that his warm breath sprinkled on his cheek, becoming sticky and hot. The air became thinner and thinner.
"Pei Pei... there are a lot of people here, don't you mind?"
Gu Cunxi put her hands around Pei Yin's waist, and when her lips were close to the corner of Pei Yin's mouth, she stopped.
Pei Yin did not answer, but told her with his actions
She raised her head, leaned forward, and accurately pressed her lips on the lips that made her heart itch. She gently rolled them around and then gently penetrated them.
They didn't notice that the people around them were looking at them in surprise. Some people chuckled and admired them, thinking they were beautiful, while others turned their heads away in panic, not daring to look directly at them.
They kissed passionately in this huge square accompanied by the splashing water of the fountain. She couldn't see anyone else except Gu Cunxi!
