Chapter 43 I didn't say it was over, so you have no say

Pei Jian's face instantly turned cold as he took Gu Ci's words for granted.

He never shared a bowl of food with Nianxi, let alone ate her leftovers.

How can this be possible, young men?

As for Nian Xi, she would find various excuses to feed him many of the snacks that she liked but was afraid would make her fat.

Pei Jian didn’t like sweets, and didn’t understand romance, “If you can’t finish it, just put it down.”

Nian Xi argued, "But I like sweets. If you have eaten it, then it should be considered as if I have eaten it."

Pei Jian didn't understand, "How can this be the same?"

Nianxi stood in front of the window in a plain dress with wide sleeves, her figure was graceful and her eyes were clear. She looked at him, smiled, and said softly, "You and I are of the same mind. I am happier when you eat than when I eat alone."

Even though Pei Jian had no idea about love and interest, he could not help but be moved by Nian Xi's thoughts.

No wonder her father-in-law and mother-in-law favor her. She is so lovable and lovely that no one can be cruel to her.

Pei Jian obediently ate the food she fed him.

At that time, he never thought that even if he ate from the same bowl of rice with her, he would become out of reach.

Taking a deep breath, he tried his best to suppress his anxiety.

Pei Jian's expression changed secretly, but no one at the table noticed except Qin Lang.

Needless to say, his whole heart was on Nianxi. Wen Qingheng was as slow as a fool. Qin Lang sighed and filled Pei Jian's glass with wine.

Pei Jian stared at the wine glass in front of him and was about to say that he didn't want to drink, but Gu Ci, who was sitting opposite him, spoke first, "I won't drink today."

Qin Lang said quickly, "Why? Today is a festive day, so it's okay to have a few drinks, right?"

Gu Ci smiled and glanced at Nian Xi, then continued to shake his head, "Let's drink some other day."

Nianxi didn't like the taste of wine. He didn't know it for the first time. He drank a few glasses at a dinner party hosted by his colleagues. After the party, he went to look for her, and she seemed to reject him.

From then on, Gu Ci Jufan refused to drink whenever he was with Nian Xi.

Qin Lang: ...

Very good, he shouldn't have said that. Although I don't know why Gu Ci doesn't drink, it is probably related to his sister.

Since Gu Ci doesn't want to drink, then Pei Jian should also... not be able to drink, right?

Qin Lang turned his head and saw Pei Jian drinking the wine in the glass without saying a word.

The whole table was like a depressed place, the atmosphere was so low that even Qin Lang himself didn't dare to enjoy himself.

However, we can't blame Pei Jian entirely.

This person Gu Ci is really an eyesore.

He was busy serving soup and picking up dishes all the time. If his sister hadn't stopped him, he would have picked out the bones from the fish and peeled the shells from the shrimps... Judging from his experience, he must have done this a lot!

Normally, Gu Ci is not a good-tempered person, but why is he so obedient when he is in front of his sister?

After all, it’s still my sister’s ability!

Wen Qingheng used to play the role of Xi Nian Xi in the Imperial College, but he thought it was exaggerated. Thinking about it now, he felt that it was a bit conservative.

Just looking at Gu Ci's dog-like appearance, and Pei Jian, who couldn't even be a dog, drinking one glass after another in discomfort, the more he thought about it, the funnier it became, and he gradually lost his concentration.

Nian Xi enjoyed Gu Ci's care, with a smile on her face, as if she didn't care about anything around her.

Wen Qingheng was probably the only person at the table, and he had nothing on his mind. Seeing Pei Jian not picking up his chopsticks, he asked concernedly, "Shi Zhang, why are you just drinking? It's easy to get drunk without eating."

This attracted everyone at the table to look at Pei Jian. Pei Jian put down his wine glass, looked at Nian Xi who happened to look up, and said calmly, "It's okay."

The meal was finished without incident, and the sky gradually darkened. The lights came on, and the whole West Market became more and more lively and noisy.

Several people walked towards the street with lanterns.

There was a constant flow of people, and Gu Ci was always protecting Nian Xi from being bumped into, holding the beauty against his chest in a protective posture.

If Nian Xi saw something interesting, she would tilt her head back, while Gu Ci would naturally lean over and listen attentively. Both of them had smiles on their lips, and they were very close to each other in the noisy and bustling atmosphere.

The sea of ​​lights is dazzling, a magnificent scene on earth.

It's really lively.

On both sides of the road, there were people playing lantern riddles, selling jugglers, and selling all kinds of snacks and amusements, which were dazzling to the eyes.

Gu Ci accompanied Nian Xi to play the game of hooping. There were many porcelain bottles and jars, rouge and powder on the ground in the street stalls. As long as the bamboo hoops caught them, they could be taken away.

Gu Ci was very agile and this was just a trifle to him, but he always hit the target with the bamboo ring, and Nian Xi stood by and applauded.

Her face was flushed with excitement, her eyes were clear and charming, and she seemed to be glowing as she stood in the crowd.

She is so dazzling.

Many people in this area were secretly looking at her.

But it was all in vain, because Gu Ci stood firmly beside her, blocking all ill intentions, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her with the attitude of a winner.

Pei Jian has now also become a coveteran.

How ridiculous, she is obviously his wife, his Nianxi.

He could only watch from afar, and it was even difficult for him to see her.

Looking at the smile on Nianxi's face, Pei Jian felt confused for a moment, because he had to admit that Gu Ci did a much better job than him.

At least in this life, Nian Xi will no longer be sad and cry on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

In the bustling and bustling streets, he felt desolate and lonely. The cigarette in his hand was so heavy that he could hardly hold it.

Nianxi and Gu Ci guessed the most difficult lantern riddle and won a flower lantern. Gu Ci went inside to choose, while Nianxi waited for him outside.

The next moment, she was pulled forward by a great force.

Before she even had time to scream, Nian Xi had already recognized who was pulling her.

He followed them all night.

Nian Xi remained silent all the way, not wanting to attract the attention of people around her.

Pei Jian pulled the man to a secluded alley and secret passage before stopping.

Nian Xi took two steps back and distanced herself from him, "What are you doing?"

Suppressing her frustration, she said coldly, "I've made it clear enough. I thought you understood that we have no relationship anymore."

Pei Jian waited all night.

Every moment of such a situation was torture for him. With every passing moment, his rationality would be lost. He was filled with anger and said bitterly:

"Nian Xi..."

Pei Jian's voice was harsh. He finally found a chance to be alone with her, but he didn't know where to start.

He said he regretted it and she was still his wife.

He said that Gu Ci and her would not last long, and that only he could give Nian Xi the best life.

But deep down in his heart, Pei Jian knew that Nian Xi understood everything.

She just chose another life, a life without him.

In the past, she always gave in to him and put him first in everything. Today, seeing her getting along with others, snuggling up to other men with a smile on her face, he felt suffocated.

He couldn't bear it.

Especially after seeing their intimacy with his own eyes, his irritability and anxiety tortured him repeatedly, and he was almost out of control.

"Nianxi, we..."

Nian Xi became completely impatient, "If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. Gu Ci is waiting for you."

It would have been fine if she didn't mention it. Pei Jian still had a bit of rationality. When she mentioned it, their intimacy kept flooding into his mind... His breathing became heavy. He took two steps forward, ignoring the alcohol on his body, and took Nianxi's hand, saying in a deep voice:

"Leave him alone."

The alley was dim and only the light from the colorful building in front illuminated the area, making the shadows vague.

The senses are amplified in darkness.

Nianxi could clearly hear his panting, "You know I won't."

"Whether he's there or not, you won't be the same person. Don't show up in situations like this in the future, or you'll make everyone unhappy."

Her voice was soft and her tone gentle, but her words were cold and cruel.

Pei Jian was repeatedly irritated.

He held up his remaining self-esteem, handed over the Mohelo doll he had been holding, and said softly, "I bought the Mohelo doll you wanted."

In fact, he was still late and waited in line for a long time, but the ending was the same as in his previous life. He was unwilling to accept this, as he had bought this pair from someone else at a high price.

He wanted compensation.

Nian Xi also held a pair in her hand, with words engraved by Gu Ci himself on them. She didn't even glance at them, but raised the one in her hand, "Don't you really understand? I don't need it anymore."

Pei Jian was completely enraged.

He restrained his unaccustomed attitude of flattery, pretended to be gentle, stared at her with his dark eyes, and turned back into the cold and arrogant Prime Minister of the past.

"I didn't say it was over, so it's none of your business."

After saying that, he took another step forward and trapped her in his arms. The two of them were so close that he could smell the faint fragrance on her body.

Pei Jian stretched out his hands to hold her waist. Her slender figure that could not be grasped brought back all the beautiful memories. The desire to destroy and possess her erupted in that instant. He hugged her tightly regardless of everything, lowered his head, and kissed her.

The Mohele in Nianxi's hand fell during the struggle——
