There was a hint of coolness and dampness in the March wind, and Meng Sheng couldn't help but shivered quietly.
Pei Sui noticed this detail and saw that she was wearing a short grey down jacket. He asked, "Are you cold?"
He has a coat in his car.
Meng Sheng smiled and shook his head after hearing this. "It's okay. I just came out of a warm house and I'm a little uncomfortable."
Then he asked, "Did you drive here?"
Pei Sui answered irrelevantly, "What about you?"
"I walked here."
Pei Sui met her eyes and said calmly, "Well, let's go. It's not far and it can help you digest your food."
“…”
He didn't drive?
As soon as this doubt arose in my mind, Pei Sui had already taken the first step.
She opened her mouth, but said nothing.
Just when she was passing the parking lot near the intersection, about ten meters away, she seemed to see the outline of a familiar black Bentley.
Yeah, it looks familiar.
It seemed to be the one Pei Sui was driving.
but……
Pei Sui is now open and honest, which makes her unsure.
Not sure, then wait and see.
Pei Sui noticed her gaze and followed her gaze. After only two seconds, he calmly and composedly withdrew his gaze.
He replied indifferently, "The cherry blossoms outside the Left Bank Courtyard Street are nice."
Meng Sheng turned cold, looked back at him, and slowly curved his lips, "Yeah. The cherry blossoms in this season...are all very good."
After saying that, she walked up to him and walked side by side down the cherry blossom street.
The night cherry blossoms cast a thin pink halo under the street lights, and tiny flower shadows floated on the road, as if a bottle of rouge-colored sake had been spilled.
A breeze blew gently, bringing with it the coolness of early spring.
It also rolled up the cherry blossom petals on the ground and branches, and made them spin and dance in the street lights and in the air.
In an instant, it turned into pink and white waves, surging and flowing in the wind.
Pei Sui looked at the beauty beside him, her porcelain-white face flickering under the cherry blossoms.
Her eyelashes blinked gently, and her calm almond-shaped eyes seemed to be filled with the entire spring.
Extremely smart and bright.
At this moment, it seemed as if he had forcibly pressed the mute button around him, leaving only the "boom boom boom" sound of his own heartbeat.
A pair of deep and indifferent phoenix eyes are filled with the person who is watching the scenery in front of him.
This is also his spring.
Meng Sheng did not notice Pei Sui's abnormality. She was completely attracted by the scene of the dancing cherry blossoms in front of her.
The body and mind, which have been tense for a long time, seem to be well relieved and relaxed at this moment.
The road was not long, and after a few minutes, we arrived at the gate of the Left Bank courtyard.
The two walked into the elevator.
After arriving on the tenth floor, Pei Sui still said something about the case, "The court will issue a mediation document in the next two days. I will contact you when the time comes."
This document needs to be signed by the plaintiff, and then copied and stamped by the lawyer and resubmitted.
It’s probably because of the process of the last divorce.
Meng Sheng was quite familiar with it, so he didn't ask any further questions and just nodded in agreement.
Pei Sui had nothing else to say. His eyes fell on her face and he whispered, "Go to bed early. Good night."
Meng Sheng was stunned, and before he could come to his senses, the elevator door had already closed.
The same "good night" had not yet been uttered from my lips.

The next day was still a sunny day with clear blue skies.
After the joint exhibition ended, the work at the museum was still not very leisurely. The only one who could relax was her, the director.
In addition to the big task of dismantling the exhibition, the paintings sold during the exhibition need to be sorted out, timely communication with buyers is required, and preparations for the exhibition with Lvy need to be started.
In short, Joanna and Minister Zhou are busy like spinning tops every day.
I can't stop at all.
Meng Sheng is naturally not the kind of person who would take a break and be lazy. The reason why he didn't come to the art museum yesterday was mainly due to the aftereffects of a hangover.
That day, Meng Sheng worked overtime until after eight o'clock, and then he received a call from Pei Sui.
Ask her if she has returned.
Meng Sheng replied, "Still in the art museum, what's wrong?"
Pei Sui said, "The documents from the court arrived this afternoon, requiring them to be delivered by 9 a.m. tomorrow. I have to go to the women's prison tomorrow morning, so I will leave very early.
My dinner is over, when will you go back?"
The women's prison is on the east side of the city, still nearly two hours' drive from the south.
He really wasn't in a hurry.
He could only ask her to sign the document tonight, and it would be convenient for him to submit it at the court tomorrow.
From what Meng Sheng heard from his words, he seemed to be socializing.
She looked at the things on her hands and estimated that she would have to work for another hour or two, and it would not be convenient to take them back to deal with them.
These days, all departments of the art museum are working overtime.
Ninety or ten is the norm.
She thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. How about...when you pass by the art museum, stop near the parking lot and I'll wait for you there."
Pei Sui agreed, "Okay, I'll be there in about half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Sheng looked at the time and continued to work on the task at hand.
When it was almost time for the appointment with Pei Sui, she went down seven or eight minutes early.
It's exactly five minutes' walk to the curb of the parking lot entrance.
No more, no less.
She lowered her head to look at her phone and told Pei Sui her location on WeChat.
As soon as it was sent, a text message popped up on the phone.
In this quiet street, the "ding" sound is particularly harsh.
[Danger! Shang Boyu paid a gangster 80,000 yuan to hurt you, trying to make you change your mind by pretending to be a hero saving a beautiful woman.]
Meng Sheng was startled and his breathing stagnated.
80,000?
Little gangster?
A hero saves the beauty?
When these three key words were combined together, she almost didn't recognize that they were Chinese characters.
absurd!
How ridiculous!
Shang Boyu is becoming more and more capable now.
How could he resort to such a sinister trick?
He really is unscrupulous!
That's true. After all, he can even do such dirty things as drugging.
She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes looking down, although the text message did not mention the specific time.
But based on past rules, it is most likely ongoing.
This means that it could be now.
The parking lot entrance is not safe.
Just as he was thinking this, Meng Sheng heard rustling footsteps coming from behind, and his heart suddenly tightened.
This is……
Coming?
Her breathing quickened for a moment, but was still very light, for fear of alerting the enemy.
She calmed down and thought.
Since Shang Boyu wanted to win back his heart by acting as a hero saving a beautiful woman, it meant that the gangster was just pretending to hurt him.
Or maybe he would put on a show to scare him, and then Shang Boyu would wait for an opportunity to make a move, and he would get slightly injured to make himself look miserable.
Well, isn't that how things turned out?
Oh, at this moment, she didn’t know how to comment on this matter.
Disgusting is really disgusting.
But swords have no eyes. She could guess this kind of thing, but she couldn't predict what would happen.
It's really not worth sacrificing yourself for nothing.
Even shedding a drop of blood for Shang Boyu is not worth it.
The art museum is behind us, so we definitely can't go back. Instead, there is an empty small square with a building in front of us, which can be seen clearly.
Now all I can do is move forward and avoid it.
After thinking it over, she took a deep breath, put away her phone and started walking.
Her steps were neither fast nor hurried, and she was thinking in her mind what to do after discussing Boyu coming out.
But just after she walked two meters, a dark shadow appeared behind her, forcibly pulling her slightly scattered and tense thoughts back.
The street lights were dim, but I could clearly see a dark shadow on the ground holding something like a knife in his hand.
Even though she knew that this was an "actor" hired by Shang Boyu, her heart was still gripped a little.
"Shengsheng! Be careful!"
When the knife from behind swung down, Meng Sheng heard a familiar yet disgusting voice.
It was Shang Bo Yu.
But as soon as the voice fell, she fell into a warm embrace, and the familiar scent of cedar lingered in her nose.
She looked stunned and relaxed, and soon a faint smell of blood filled the air, followed by the sound of the person holding a knife behind her being kicked out.
