Chapter 28 Her Secret is Discovered

It was not until Nianxi was almost out of breath from the passionate kiss that Gu Ci ended reluctantly.

Her whole body was hot and she was gasping for breath to calm herself down.

Gu Ci stepped back slightly, separating the two of them. He deliberately bent his waist, afraid that Nian Xi would notice his change.

However, the whole space was filled with a unique smell, with the sweetness of grapes, which made him unable to calm down no matter what.

All the blood in Gu Ci's body was rushing to one place. He was afraid of being embarrassed if he stayed here any longer, so he didn't dare to look at Nian Xi. He looked around and said, "Is the dragon boat race going to start soon? I'll go down first."

Nian Xi's lips and cheeks were rosy. She pretended not to notice Gu Ci's embarrassment and nodded in agreement.

When they reached the door, she suddenly called him again, "Put on your outer clothes before going."

Gu Ci was puzzled, "All helmsmen dress like this."

When the competition really starts, he will even take off his current outer robe.

Nianxi knew that he did all this for his own happiness. But Gu Ci's background and upbringing did not allow him to expose himself in front of others.

He is noble and proud.

Nian Xi was unwilling to refuse such sacrifice for her, even though he was willing to do it.

"The paint on the back is a little smudged."

The kiss just now was not one or several kisses, but a continuous wave. When she wanted to move away a little to catch her breath, he would hold her waist and press her tightly against his hard chest. When she leaned back a little, he tightened his grip an inch.

It was a different kind of invasion from the past, gentle yet fierce, and I savored it over and over again.

Her hands were shaking so much that they scratched and rubbed his back, blurring the tiger's limbs.

Gu Ci saw Nianxi's raised hand, with colorful traces of paint on the fingertips. For a moment, he couldn't control the surging desire, and he didn't even have time to talk to Nianxi, and he opened the door and walked out as if escaping.

Not long after, the door was pushed open again. Nian Xi didn't turn around, but asked with a soft smile, "Did you forget something again?"

For a long while, there was no sound behind me.

Nian Xi turned her head and saw Pei Jian standing there in black clothes. He was like an ancient beast in a cold pond, cold and gloomy, staring at her with great anger.

The two looked at each other, and she understood at a glance.

Her secret was discovered.

…

Pei Jian didn't know how he had managed to survive the past few days.

He wanted to see her, and there were some things he needed to ask her in person.

But he couldn't find any reason to meet.

It turns out that it is so difficult to see her.

In the past, he had never been upset about these trivial matters. Even when they first met, Nianxi had always found excuses to look for him. There were even several times when he had left her behind because of something urgent, just like today's dragon boat race.

Later, their relationship became clear. My mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, was a very open-minded person. She was happy to see them interacting with each other and believed that this would be better for their relationship after marriage.

In his previous life, he had never encountered a situation where he wanted to see her but was unable to do so.

Pei Jian thought about going directly to the house, even if he had to avoid the presence of his father-in-law and Wen Qingheng. At most, it would be Li who would entertain him, and he might not even be able to see his mother-in-law, let alone Nian Xi, who was waiting to be married.

Having been pampered for too long, this preference has become a habit.

He remembered that Gu Ci had said that he had booked a private room in Qingshui Pavilion on the Dragon Boat Festival. After he asked which room number it was, he spent a lot of money to book a room next to Nianxi's from someone else.

He just wanted to prove something.

But what did he see?

Lanzhi and Xingyue were sent downstairs, and they went to the next room naked, where they were alone with Nianxi for a long time...

When he came out again, Gu Ci leaned against the wall at the door, breathing heavily and calming himself down.

As they are all men, of course he understands what is going on.

But no matter how clear you think, it's not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.

Even though Nian Xi had her back to him, one could tell that she was in a good mood. She exuded a sweet aura, and her tone was cheerful, intimate and familiar.

Turning her head, her cheeks and lips were an alluring rouge color.

A strong emotion was stirring in his heart, and he had to grit his teeth to control himself. He never thought that one day, another man would leave a mark on her.

This scene hurt him deeply.

"What's the matter?" Nian Xi asked first. She didn't want to be seen together.

Pei Jian looked at her solemnly, and walked towards her with suppressed anger. Nian Xi frowned and instinctively stepped back. Pei Jian passed by her and closed the window facing the lake.

Nian Xi became increasingly unhappy. "I'm going to see Gu Ci for a boat race later. What do you want?"

Pei Jian didn't want to hear this name again. Turning around, he stared at Nian Xi with his deep eyes and said in a deep voice, "I came here just to prove one thing."

Nian Xi had already guessed what he would ask, but she still felt impatient, "Prove what?"

"How do you know Princess Wenshu will drown?"

When Pei Jian saw Princess Wenshu giving her a gift at the gate of Wen Mansion that day, Nianxi knew that with Pei Jian's intelligence, he would figure out the connection sooner or later. Later, when Wang Po came to look for her and said that "Mr. Pei came again" that night, Nianxi was mentally prepared.

She lost all expression, sat down again, slowly poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Didn't I say that? It's nonsense."

Pei Jian also calmed down and sat down at the table. Looking at her red lips moistened by the tea, he said in an ambiguous tone, "Then calculate the fate between us."

Nian Xi raised her head and said in a cold and hard tone, "There is no marriage."

Pei Jian laughed lightly, his dark pupils full of emotion. He asked, "You're back too."

The tone is extremely firm.

There is nothing to hide.

If she had not died that day, she would have divorced him.

Nian Xi's eyes were clear and she said calmly, "I didn't know that Gu Ci and you were good friends before."

She wanted to find a man to comfort her soul, but she wasn't crazy enough to find someone close to Pei Jian. In fact, she didn't want to have anything to do with the man in front of her anymore.

Pei Jian said: "Now that you know, it's not too late."

Nian Xi thought it was funny.

Is there enough time for what? Leave and resign?

This man is really arrogant. How can he have the nerve to ask for it? Will she give up her job for him?

Stop kidding.

"I think my answer is obvious. Now I am happy every day."

She chose to resign at the beginning.

Pei Jian's chest heaved, all his emotions accumulated in his chest. He couldn't tell whether it was anger or something else, and a dull pain came from his heart.

After being married for ten years, she knew how to make him uncomfortable.

"That day at the corner gate, you knew I was back, right?"

Nian Xi did not comment.

Pei Jian asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Nian Xi sneered, "Why should I tell you? Pei Yan, I don't know you. We have no relationship."

Pei Jian's breath was choked.

"I never agreed to divorce you."

Did he not agree to divorce her? But he continued to love another woman for decades, took the newly widowed woman back home to settle her down, allowed rumors to spread, ignored them, and sent the son of his beloved woman to her as his legitimate son.

Then what is she?

Is it a reflection of their deep love that breaks through worldly ethics?

Nian Xi couldn't control the bitterness in her heart.

Since her rebirth, she has lived happily every day and rarely thinks about the past. She doesn't want to be trapped by her depressed and lonely self anymore.

She also didn't want to think about the stupid things she had done for Pei Jian over the years, as that would only make her look stupid.

"Have you forgotten what I told you? I don't love you and I want to leave you."
