Pei Sui took her hand and lowered his dark and deep eyes to look at her. His thin lips also formed a subtle arc.
The voice was as clear and calm as always, "Yes, it really is."
Meng Sheng frowned, "Why didn't I hear you say that before?"
"I've been busy with other cases, and I just sorted out some information about your father yesterday."
Meng Sheng heard this and no longer had any doubts. "Are you planning to drive there tomorrow, or take a plane?"
Pei Sui led her all the way to the underground parking lot. "It takes six hours to drive from Beijing to Linhai. It's not cost-effective. I'll book the flight and hotel when we get back."
"Okay." Meng Sheng nodded, then remembered to ask, "What about Sisi? We'll be away for so many days, should Sisi be sent to a pet store for care?"
"No need. I've already told Nie Han to come home after get off work every day to change Sisi's food and water, and to water your azaleas."
He had arranged everything so well that Meng Sheng had nothing to worry about.
The next morning, the two had breakfast and drove to the airport.
At half past eleven, the plane landed at Linhai Airport.
Pei Sui booked a five-star hotel with two suites facing each other, fully equipped with necessary facilities.
Meng Sheng rested in the room for about ten minutes when the doorbell rang.
It was the hotel staff who came to deliver lunch. While they were setting the table, Pei Sui had already opened the door of the room opposite. With a stride of his long legs, he reached her room in just three or two steps.
While they were having dinner, they had already arranged their itinerary for the next few days.
Although there is no urgency, everything requires patience.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Meng Sheng followed Pei Sui to the Human Resources Department of Linhai Dadi. He submitted some basic information first and negotiated for about an hour before coming out of the Human Resources Department office.
After walking a few meters, I met an old man in his fifties.
The old man stopped immediately when he saw Meng Sheng and asked suspiciously, "Are you... the daughter of the old Meng family?"
Meng Sheng was also stunned for a moment. After recognizing this person, he smiled and greeted him, "Uncle Zhang, it's you. Long time no see. How have you been in recent years?"
"Okay, okay, where's your dad? How's his health? I'm busy at school, and I can't spare the time to go to Jing City to visit him."
After a brief exchange of greetings, the energetic old man noticed the handsome man next to her, "Who is this?"
Meng Sheng followed his gaze and glanced at Pei Sui, then smiled and said, "The attorney responsible for my father's early retirement."
Upon hearing this, Pei Sui's deep eyes fell directly on her profile.
But she only paused for three or four seconds before adding, "He's also my boyfriend."
The old man was a little surprised.
However, the news of Meng Sheng and Shang Boyu's divorce was making a lot of noise on the Internet, so he naturally knew about it. He didn't ask any questions, let alone say anything.
He just smiled and nodded, and said to Pei Sui, "He looks like a good young man, and Shengsheng is a good girl. You have to cherish her."
Pei Sui couldn't quite explain how he felt at the moment.
Especially when I heard the word "boyfriend" from her mouth, the tip of the iceberg in my heart melted in an instant.
Although he looked as indifferent and cold as ever, with no expression of emotion, the depth and darkness in his eyes had become noticeably clearer now.
He nodded respectfully to the old man and said, "Yes. Don't worry, I will."
After the old scholar left with his hands behind his back, Pei Sui turned his gaze back to Meng Sheng.
Perhaps his gaze was too scorching, burning Meng Sheng's cheeks. She pursed her lips and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"Boyfriend?" Pei Sui raised his eyebrows, a hint of teasing in his eyes, and asked calmly, "When did you become his regular boyfriend? How come I, the person involved, don't know about it?"
When Meng Sheng heard this, a hint of intelligence flashed across his calm eyes.
"Converted to a regular employee? When did you start the internship period?"
"Oh, is it official upon joining?" Pei Sui glanced at her, "In a situation like this, the company will usually issue a written notice to the other party before it becomes official."
Meng Sheng said with a smile, "Then wait for a while. I will give you a written notice when I return to Beijing."
"No, I can do it now."
Pei Sui suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and clasped her slender waist with his other hand.
His action came so suddenly that Meng Sheng was startled. She looked up blankly and looked into those eyes that were as deep as the vast night.
"Can you what?"
“This notice can be given in another way.”
"What method?"
Pei Sui stared at her eyes quietly, then his gaze moved slightly downward to her beautiful lips covered with velvet lipstick.
The dumb voice said, "The way of stamping."
stamp?
Meng Sheng was slightly stunned, but just by looking at his eyes, he knew what he meant.
Her breathing unconsciously became much lighter, and the two pairs of eyes looking at each other seemed to have drawn an invisible line in the middle, causing the air around them to stop flowing.
Just when she was about to take the initiative to kiss him, she heard several voices not far away.
Her back stiffened for a moment, and she immediately stepped out of his arms, holding his hand and walking forward, "Lawyer Pei, this is at school, there are surveillance cameras, and there are teachers and students passing by, please be careful of the impact."
The main thing is that it would be embarrassing if someone saw it.
They will come to school these days.
Pei Sui held her hand and asked, "When will the repair be done?"
Meng Sheng felt deflated. She turned her head to look at the man who still had a cool and calm look, and found it unbelievable.
How did he manage to ask such a question seriously?
"night."
Pei Sui curled his lips slightly. After getting the answer he wanted, he changed the subject, "I see you know a teacher in this school. Did you come here often before?"
Meng Sheng nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. My mom used to bring me to the school to see my dad. Later, when I was older, I would come over to play and sit in on my dad's and other teachers' classes."
"I don't have anything else to do today, do you want to go shopping?"
"OK."
Meng Sheng was familiar with this school. She took Pei Sui for a stroll around the History Department and the Foreign Languages Department.
The two departments are close to each other, and there are lush and dense camphor trees planted on both sides of the campus road in the middle. The sunlight filters through the gaps between the leaves, leaving countless swaying spots on the road bricks.
The laughter and joyful voices of the students around were carried by the wind, floating in this youthful and majestic atmosphere.
It actually made Meng Sheng feel like he was back in his student days.
"What are you thinking about?"
Pei Sui noticed that her thoughts seemed to be gradually dispersing, and realizing something, he gently squeezed her palm.
Meng Sheng monopolized his thoughts and smiled, "I was thinking about the good times in my student days."
Pei Sui's originally cold expression slightly changed, and his steps also stopped, "Everything is beautiful?"
"No, except Shang Boyu."
Meng Sheng's eyes were gentle, yet firm and frank.
She would not deliberately avoid talking about it to Shang Boyu, because the wound that had once festered no longer hurt, and the scar remained there just to remind herself.
It was so painful at that time.
