Chapter 72
Almost three months had passed since she sent her parents away. During this time, Chen Feng had been unexpectedly quiet, much to Pei Yin's surprise.
The office was silent. The information was like a thorn in her heart, making her feel uneasy. After much deliberation, she decided to call Chen Feng. Although she didn't want to face this person in the slightest, she had to resolve the matter and didn't want to put it off any longer...
The phone rang for a long time, and the other end did not answer. Just when Pei Yin was about to hang up, Chen Feng's voice came, and she subconsciously frowned.
"Pei Yin, you finally contacted me?" Chen Feng's tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard.
"Do you have time?" Pei Yin asked
There was silence on the other end for a moment...
"I'm on a business trip and have a meeting."
"You called me, have you figured it out?" Chen Feng continued.
"I have drafted a divorce agreement, and I have already..."
"Xiao Peiyin," Chen Feng interrupted.
"Do you still want a divorce?"
Pei Yin raised his hand to support his forehead, his brows furrowed.
"I've made it very clear that this marriage must be divorced. I'm not asking for your consent anymore."
"Heh...you've become more capable," Chen Feng sneered.
"What if I don't sign? Are you going to sue me?"
Pei Yin paused as he clenched the information in his hand.
"In addition to the divorce agreement, there is another document"
"After reading it, I think you will sign it"
There was another silence... Through the phone, Pei Yin could clearly hear the other party holding his breath and sighing softly, as if he was trying to calm down.
"What do you mean, what document?" Chen Feng's tone was obviously much more urgent than before.
"Chen Feng, you know exactly what you did. Do you want me to tell you?"
"Since you are on a business trip, I will leave these two documents at your home. Call me when you have signed them."
"Or I can send it to your unit!"
"Xiao Peiyin! Are you threatening me?"
Hang up the phone
She didn't want to respond to any word from Chen Feng
…
On the other side, Chen Feng, who was hung up on, was so angry that he threw his phone aside.
He originally planned to give Pei Yin some time and not push her too hard, but he didn't expect...
I don't know what the document she was talking about is... Could it be...
He had been very careful and cautious in his actions over the years, so it shouldn't be easy for him to find out. With Xiao Peiyin's connections in Jianghuai City, there shouldn't be anyone who could find out for her...
Could it be Gu Cunxi... Chen Feng thought
Chen Feng's heart surged with anger at the thought of her, unable to suppress it. Ever since Gu Cunxi appeared, Pei Yin seemed to have completely changed. Everything was becoming increasingly out of control...
To Chen Feng, Xiao Peiyin was a very good wife. No one else could do better than her. She was gentle, generous, and easy to control. This was exactly what he needed. Moreover, he had already been divorced once, which had already affected his career. If he divorced again...
It’s all because of this woman Gu Cunxi!
Chen Feng picked up the phone that was thrown aside and made a call...
"Dongdongdong~"
There was a knock at the office door. Pei Yin looked over and saw Cunxi standing at the door. A smile immediately crept up the corner of her mouth, forming a beautiful arc.
"Boss Gu, are you done?"
"Well, I just finished a meeting and wanted to come see you." Gu Cunxi said as he walked to Pei Yin's side and sat on the armrest of the chair.
"Mr. Gu insisted on sitting on my armrest instead of the two chairs opposite. Wouldn't that be uncomfortable?" Pei Yin put his arm around her waist and asked lovingly.
"I want to be closer to you"
"I've been busy with meetings these days and rarely have time to spend with you at noon."
"All matters concerning the event have been finalized in today's meeting. I'll leave the stage construction to Duan Rui."
After saying that, Gu Cunxi took Pei Yin's left hand and looked at it.
“???”
"Cunxi? What are you doing?" Pei Yin asked doubtfully
"Pei Pei, our hands are about the same size."
“…”
Gu Cunxi put his five fingers together and compared them with Pei Yin's hand.
“The thickness is about the same…”
The rings on the middle and ring fingers seemed to be about the same size, the same as his own. Gu Cunxi thought secretly
Pei Yin sat aside and let Gu Cunxi repeatedly fiddle with his left hand, his smile growing
After a while, she seemed to have had enough fun, let go of Pei Yin's hand, and smiled.
"I'm going to go to the event site later. I'll be back to pick you up at 5 o'clock."
After that, Gu Cunxi kissed Pei Yin's forehead, stood up and walked out.
A preliminary stage frame has been built in the corridor on the first floor of Lifeng. Duan Rui is on the scene and communicates with the construction workers from time to time.
"Well done," Gu Cunxi said standing aside.
Duan Rui was busy looking at the blueprints and didn't notice when Gu Cunxi came to his side. He turned around suddenly because of the sudden voice.
"Mr. Gu..."
"Am I that scary?" Gu Cunxi asked with a smile
"No..." Duan Rui waved his hand quickly
On the way back, Gu Cunxi bought some coffee and gave it to Duan Rui.
"Pick what you want to drink. There's coffee, juice, and the rest will be shared with the construction workers."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Duan Rui took the bag and was a little flattered.
"How many days will it take to be completed?" Gu Cunxi asked as he looked around.
"The preliminary construction has been completed. It will be finished in three days at most." Duan Rui took a sip of the coffee in his hand.
"Well... there's plenty of time."
"Do you know what the most basic thing about stage setting is?"
When Gu Cunxi suddenly asked this question, Duan Rui was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: Is it safe?
"Um…"
"It's safety. Before the event starts, I allow you to make mistakes when setting up the stage."
"???" Duan Rui was a little confused
"I know... you've never done anything like this. Although the blueprints are well planned, problems are bound to arise during the process. You can try and make mistakes. If the colors aren't right, you can change them. If the lighting isn't good enough, you can fix it. Even if the stage isn't built beautifully, you can still make up for it."
"But... safety must be guaranteed!"
Perhaps it is because once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of the rope for ten years. After more than a year, when facing such an event scene and stage setting again, Gu Cunxi still feels scared.
"I will ensure safety, Mr. Gu"
"Okay, if you need anything, feel free to call me."
After saying that, Gu Cunxi walked towards the first floor of the mall. As soon as he approached, he was greeted by the mixed fragrance of various cosmetics.
The first floor of the women's building is all about cosmetics and jewelry
She came to the jewelry counter, and because of the light, the jewelry looked sparkling.
"Hello, I... want to pick out a women's ring"
The shopping guide came around from the other side of the counter with a smile and asked: Do you have any requirements for the material?
Diamond Ring
The shopping guide was slightly startled and then calmed down: The diamond rings are all over here.
The glass display case was gleaming with diamonds, making her dizzy. In the center was a heart-shaped diamond ring, with small diamonds set beside it and a heart-shaped cut diamond on top.
"This one" Gu Cunxi pointed
"You have a good eye. This ring is from the new Love Language series launched this season." The salesperson took the ring out of the box wearing black silk gloves.
"If you are choosing a wedding ring, I highly recommend this one."
Gu Cunxi put the ring on the middle finger of her left hand. Although there were many small diamonds on the diamond setting, they were not complicated or fancy. Based on her understanding of Pei Yin, she must not like overly complicated styles. This one was just right. It was the one she fell in love with at first sight.
"What's the clarity level?" Gu Cunxi asked
"VVS1"
"What's the price?"
“The price of this one is 75800”
"That's it! Wrap it up!"
“!!”
As soon as the words fell, the shopping guide was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect that this order could be so easy.
"Okay, you... please wait a moment."
I waited for almost an hour to get the invoice, payment, packaging, and fill in the after-sales information.
It was almost five o'clock when we walked out of the mall
"Oops...it took too long."
…
Pei Yin still hadn't waited for Gu Cunxi to come back when it was time to get off work. The sky gradually darkened and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain.
"Sister Pei Yin~"
"Are you waiting for Sister Cunxi?" Cheng Sheng came from behind and said with a smile.
"Hmm~"
"Sister Cunxi is really something. She's either in meetings or out on the field lately. It's been a while since you two had lunch together." Cheng Sheng pouted angrily.
"Well~ She's been busy with a lot of things lately, and she's very tired too." Pei Yin smiled
Cheng Sheng stood aside and chuckled: Sister Pei Yin is feeling distressed?
"Huh?"
"They say a woman in love is made of water. I think Sister Pei Yin is almost like that now."
“…”
"Cheng Sheng!"
Pei Yin felt a little embarrassed because of Cheng Sheng's words and turned his head to look away.
Cheng Sheng watched from the side and smiled secretly in his heart
After a moment of silence, she paused and said seriously
"Sister Pei Yin...are you planning on getting a divorce?"
Surprised at the distance between the two topics, Pei Yin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cheng Sheng and nodded.
I wanted to say something, but Cheng Sheng opened his mouth and stopped talking.
"Well... I wish Sister Pei Yin all the best. I hope you can live the life you truly want."
"Yes!" Pei Yin smiled.
It started to rain heavily. The two stood at the door of the company for a long time. Seeing that Cheng Sheng had no intention of leaving, Pei Yin asked: Why don’t you go home?
"You're standing here alone, and it's raining. Sister Cunxi would be heartbroken if she saw you."
"I don't want to see Sister Cunxi feel distressed," Cheng Sheng said playfully.
Pei Yin smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, he saw a dark green Mercedes-Benz slowly stop by the road.
Because of the rain, the traffic was more congested than usual. Gu Cunxi was anxious along the way, but she didn't dare to drive too fast. Finally, she passed several red lights and congested roads, and saw the person she missed at the door of the company.
After steadying the car, she walked down. Because there was no rain in the forecast today, neither of them took an umbrella when they went out in the morning. Seeing Pei Yin standing at the door with his arms folded and his clothes thin, she frowned slightly and walked over.
"Sister Cunxi...you are late. Sister Peiyin has been waiting for you for a long time," Cheng Sheng said with a smile.
"How long is that..." Pei Yin said hurriedly
"Okay, I'll be leaving first, Sister Cunxi, you guys should go back soon."
After saying that, Cheng Sheng turned around and left.
"Cheng Sheng, I'll take you there."
“I don’t want to be a light bulb”
"Cheng Sheng..."
Without waiting for the two to respond, Cheng Sheng turned around and left with his umbrella, leaving behind a back figure. He raised his hand and waved after a few steps.
"This child..."
"Let's go, Pei Pei, it's warm in the car."
After that, she took off her coat and put it on Pei Yin.
"Cunxi...I'm not cold"
"You said you weren't cold... Just now in the car, I saw you hugging your arms and rubbing them repeatedly from a distance." Gu Cunxi curled his lips, with a hint of blame in his tone.
"You know it's cold outside, why don't you wait for me in the company lobby instead of standing outside in the cold wind?"
Pei Yin wrapped his coat around him, turned around and smiled.
"My phone is running out of battery, I'm afraid you can't find me."
"ah…"
"Gu Cunxi...what are you doing?" Pei Yin rubbed the cheek that was pinched.
"I won't be able to find you!"
"Next time don't stand outside like an idiot"
After the two got in the car, Gu Cunxi turned up the air conditioner, took Pei Yin's hand, and blew on it.
“My hands are frozen…”
"Didn't you warm it up?" Pei Yin said with a smile
“…”
Although it was only a few steps away, the rain was so heavy that both of them had their hair wet when they got in the car. Although it was a bit embarrassing, Pei Yin looked sexy with wet hair.
“Pei Pei…”
"Hmm?" Pei Yin wiped his wet hair and turned his head to the side.
It was time to get off work, and the building was crowded with people coming and going. Gu Cunxi suppressed the impulse in his heart.
Let's go home first...
