Pei Sui was stunned by his hug, and turned his head to look at her, with a hint of smile in his deep and cold eyes.
It is like beams of golden light emerging from the clouds after the rain, bright and shining, warm and making people feel very comfortable.
His calm tone was also lifted by the soft clouds, "You walk without making any sound?"
Meng Sheng blinked, but didn't loosen his grip around his waist. He could only jokingly say, "Scared you? Tsk, it seems even the famous Lawyer Pei can't help being scared."
Seeing that she was in good condition, Pei Sui felt a little relieved and replied, "Lawyer Pei is also a human being. It's normal to be scared by your girlfriend."
Meng Sheng's back stiffened.
Um?
For some reason, her heart always beat fast when he said something casually.
Is this normal?
Such jokes would happen from time to time. Meng Sheng felt a little uncomfortable at first, and there was still an inexplicable sense of distance between them.
But Pei Sui always managed to tenaciously break down the walls she had built, walk up to her, hug her, kiss her, and comfort her.
The two of them ate breakfast face to face. After they put away their dishes, Pei Sui asked her, "When are we going to the hospital?"
Meng Sheng replied, "Around four or five in the afternoon, I'll go have dinner with my dad."
Pei Sui took out a set of Mercedes-Benz car keys from his pocket and said, "I have something to do this afternoon, so I probably can't take you there. This car was given to me by He Xian, and I don't drive it very often.
You can just drive for now, otherwise it will be too troublesome to take a taxi, and it’s far from Deqing Affiliated Hospital anyway.”
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment and took the car keys.
She sold all the cars that she got from her divorce with Shang Boyu as second-hand goods, and only kept the car she bought before the marriage.
She laughed and joked, "What kind of game is this? Didn't He Xian cry with you?"
Pei Sui raised his eyebrows. "He'll be back from abroad in a couple of days and wants you to have dinner with him. You can ask him then."
"Is that even a question?" Meng Sheng twirled the car keys in his hand. "Master He is so wealthy, why would he care so much about a mere Mercedes? Hey, does he know about...us?"
"Yeah." Pei Sui nodded and said lightly, "That's what I said."
Although he is not the kind of person who is high-profile, he will post on WeChat Moments to show off his relationship.
But the last time He Xian called him to consult him about a legal issue, after he answered it, He Xian asked him if he was busy recently. He said that he would be returning to China in two days and they could get together.
He suddenly said, "I have a girlfriend."
He Xian on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then asked hesitantly, "Although I'm surprised that you have a girlfriend. But... are you showing off to me now?"
"No, tell me the truth." Pei Sui's tone was still calm.
He Xian sneered, "Oh, do you think I believe you? Are you the kind of person who would share your private affairs with others? You're just showing off and boasting!
Damn it, Pei Sui, I finally see you clearly. You are actually such a person! "
He only began to question after he finished his rant, "Tell me, who is it? Do I know you? Have I seen you before? Who can pull you down from the altar? You're amazing! You can save your single life! Which fairy is it?"
It can’t be Gu Ci again, right?
He heard that Gu Ci had returned even when he was abroad.
But he was too embarrassed to ask this question, for fear of hurting the self-esteem of this beautiful woman.
Pei Sui turned a deaf ear to his ghostly howling and merely raised an eyebrow before uttering a name without warmth, "Meng Sheng."
There was silence on the other end of the phone again.
This time the silence lasted longer.
It was probably more than ten seconds before an angry curse erupted from the microphone, "You are such a scoundrel! Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows.
You have ulterior motives, a beast in human form, evil intentions, ulterior motives, cunning and treacherous, with a sinister heart, a big-tailed wolf..."
Pei Sui felt that he had said all the idioms he would use in his life.
He interrupted him calmly, "Don't use idioms if you don't know how to use them. It's embarrassing!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The memory lingered in his mind, and Pei Sui didn't say anything more. After she packed up her things, they went out together.
Meng Sheng visited the Artists Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in the morning, and met with the director of another art museum in the afternoon. The director discussed with her the publication of a collection of papers from an art forum jointly organized with the Tokyo Moriran Art Museum in July.
There will be another academic conference at the end of this month, also in Tokyo.
This conference and collection of essays is a multi-element collision of Asian contemporary art, filling research gaps, challenging Western-centric narrative culture through international publishing channels, and promoting cross-cultural coordination.
For Yisheng Art Museum, this is a way to enhance its international voice.
Opportunities can only be encountered by chance.
There was no need for any hesitation, Meng Sheng agreed immediately.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, she drove to Deqing Affiliated Hospital and bought some fruits and snacks that Meng Chengli could eat on the way.
When they arrived at the 17th floor of the inpatient department, a paper airplane flew straight towards them from a distance. The pointed end of the airplane hit Meng Sheng's shoe and fell straight in front of her feet.
She was stunned for a moment, and just as she raised her eyes, she saw a small figure rushing towards her like a cannonball.
She excitedly called out, "Aunt Meng!"
After running a few steps, Miaomiao probably remembered her father's previous teachings, and hurriedly braked, slowed down and walked in front of her.
A smile appeared on that fair and cute little face, and she said in a baby voice, "Aunt Meng, you're finally here. I missed you so much. I missed you when I was eating, sleeping, doing puzzles, and even when I was playing with Barbie dolls."
