Chapter 88 The Reason for Meeting Nianxi

Xu Wanxin was wearing a red silk skirt with water sleeves and a thin gauze shirt, which wrapped around her graceful figure.

On autumn nights, people feel cold just by looking at it.

Pei Jian stood at a distance.

"cousin!"

She looked up and saw him, and cried out in surprise.

Pei Jian responded and said calmly, "Why are you here?"

Xu Wanxin had her makeup done neatly and was dressed exquisitely, but there was a hint of sadness between her brows. Her gorgeous makeup looked a little sad under the light.

She said in a plaintive voice, "Cousin, can I come in and talk?"

A girl who keeps a low profile will be sympathized by any man. Moreover, the autumn wind blows at this time, lifting her thin shirt, making her look even more delicate and beautiful.

Pei Jian, however, was as hard-hearted as a rock, not seeing her helplessness at all. "It's not very convenient."

Xu Wanxin was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and smiled slightly, and when she raised her head again, two lines of tears flowed down her fair cheeks, "My cousin has such a cruel heart. Are all you men so heartless? Don't you have any compassion or love for women?"

She spoke in a sad tone, but to Pei Jian it sounded a little strange.

He had heard a little about Xu Wanxin's affairs, but he didn't take it seriously. He only heard that Mr. Xing was a playboy and had a group of female confidants.

He has been busy with the affairs of the Gu family these days, and Nian Xi has been haunting him every day. If he hadn't seen her today, he would have hardly remembered Xu Wanxin.

But from what she said, it seemed that she was also bringing herself into the group of "heartless and unfeeling" people.

If it were the past when Nian Xi loved him, Pei Jian would not be so sensitive, but now he and Nian Xi are showing signs of easing up. If the slightest rumor reaches Nian Xi's ears, with her stubborn and proud personality, she will definitely never pay any attention to him again.

Therefore, in response to the tearful complaint of the beauty, Pei Jian's first thought was to clarify, "Be careful with your words. I have nothing to do with you, so how can I be so heartless?"

His words were extremely cold and ruthless.

Xu Wanxin dug her nails into her palms to force herself to endure it. She had done so much and didn't even care about her reputation. She didn't come here to listen to him say such hurtful words.

"Wan'er is sad and confused."

Pei Jian refused to come over, so she walked over.

Xu Wanxin walked up to Pei Jian and raised her head slightly. Under her thin shirt, she revealed a bit of her soft and fragrant face. "Cousin, please don't be angry with Wan'er. I really can't do anything. Cousin, please help me."

Pei Jian's eyes fell on the girl's charming face and stayed there for a moment. Finally, he took into account the little beauty of their youth and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Xu Wanxin's heart moved, and she changed her tone even more tactfully, "Cousin, have you heard about what happened between me and Mr. Xing?"

Pei Jian nodded.

"At that time, my cousin asked me to find a good husband as soon as possible. I listened to my cousin and met Xing Yuan by chance. At first, he took good care of me and put me first in everything. But gradually, he changed. He became extremely busy and I was often not seen. I sent people to pass on the message, but they were always perfunctory. Today, I heard from my second brother that he fought with someone for the most beautiful woman in the city and caused a commotion..."

Xu Wanxin's eyes were filled with despair and helplessness. "Cousin, I was so sincere to him, but he looked down on me. I only hated my fate, but I still couldn't let him go. I was tormented by him." It was really hard to relieve the worries in my heart. Thinking of the carefree time with my cousin when I was young, I felt sad, and that's why I wandered here...

Xu Wanxin had calculated Pei Jian's feelings towards Wen Nianxi, so she put herself in the same humble position. She didn't believe that he would not feel anything.

The alley was silent for a moment, with only a solitary moon hanging high in the sky.

Pei Jian was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Xing Yuan is not a good match for you."

"Really?"

Xu Wanxin shook her head gently, tears welling up in her eyelashes, and she looked heartbroken. "Others have advised me to let it go, but I just can't let it go. He was so good to me before, how could he change? Cousin, I wait for news from him every day, but I am disappointed day by day. My heart is so sad."

The more she spoke, the closer she got, as if she was about to break apart and could barely hold on. She moved closer to Pei Yan's chest, "Cousin, now you're the only one I can rely on..."

Just when she was about to get close, Pei Jian suddenly turned around, almost causing her to fall to the ground.

Pei Jian was just listening to Xu Wanxin's words at first, but gradually he began to relate to her. Especially when Xu Wanxin cried about waiting day after day but getting no news from that person, he felt like he was struck by lightning and could not move at all.

But at the same time, I felt as if I had suddenly been enlightened, and thought of all the things that I had never cared about before.

It was a fact that he always ignored Nianxi at that time and kept asking her to wait. He was well aware of the mistakes he had made.

But those rumors that he had never cared about, the groundless rumors about him and Xu Wanxin since they were young, would they make Nianxi suffer the same pain as Xu Wanxin was suffering now?

He has no feelings for Xu Wanxin at all, and both he and Xu Wanxin know this very well, but does Nianxi know it?

Pei Jian's heart suddenly started pounding.

He couldn't wait even a moment longer; he couldn't let Nian Xi misunderstand him.

He must go to Nianxi immediately and tell her that he has never forgotten the sweet words they said on the couch.

From the beginning to the end, there was only one her in his heart!

Pei Jian was delighted that he had found another reason to see her.

It was not until he heard a faint voice of "cousin" that he remembered Xu Wanxin who was standing beside him.

He was rarely in a friendly mood, nodded to Xu Wanxin and said, "Xing Yuan is not a good match, you need to turn back from your mistakes."

"I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."

After saying this, he disappeared into the night without looking back.

Xu Wanxin was left alone, crying and laughing, with a distorted face.
