After Hu Shi finished his cigarette, he asked his agent to open the window of the private room.
"She doesn't like the smell of smoke, so she needs to air it out."
After Brother Wang did as he was told, "You seem to be pretty obsequious to her too, huh?"
Brother Wang thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "You wouldn't also...?"
Brother Wang saw that Hu Shi was so attentive to Pei Zhi and took such good care of her.
If Hu Shih also has feelings for Pei Zhi, that would be troublesome.
"Don't worry, when I was young and naive, my heart did flutter. After all, few men can resist her face."
No matter how you look at it, Pei Zhi is a terrible person.
But Pei Zhi's face is truly flawless.
Even after ten years, her face showed no signs of aging; it was so exquisite. Heaven truly favors beauties.
"But I'm someone who values my life."
Brother Wang didn't understand the meaning of Hu Shi's words: "Huh?"
“If she hadn’t been broke, she definitely wouldn’t have come to me this time.”
"I don't know how many years it will be before I see her again. I'd rather kill myself than like someone as ruthless and free-spirited as her."
The three men Hu Shi knew all changed drastically because of Pei Zhi.
How could Hu Shi be so foolish as to still have feelings for Pei Zhi?
Although the agent didn't quite understand, he knew that Hu Shi didn't like Pei Zhi, so he was relieved.
Pei Zhi, wearing a mask, climbed onto the railing to watch the fish.
The restaurant keeps many large red carp, and free fish food is provided for guests to feed them.
A cold voice rang out: "If you feed them any more, they'll choke to death."
Pei Zhi looked up and saw the person who had come in. "Why are you back again?"
Xie Cinian took off his suit jacket and sat down next to Pei Zhi.
"I'm afraid my eyes are playing tricks on me, so I'll put on my glasses in the car and take a closer look when I get back."
When Pei Zhi saw that Xie Cinian was indeed wearing glasses, she was not flustered. She even took the initiative to move closer to Xie Cinian.
"Do you see it clearly now?"
Pei Zhi remained as bold as ever.
Xie Cinian didn't back away, but carefully examined Pei Zhi's features.
It was still the same face, eyes, nose, eyebrows, lips, and hair—not a single detail had changed.
That's...absurd.
How can a person's face remain unchanged after ten years?
His facial skin remained unchanged, his eyes were as clear as before, and even his hair was as thick as before.
Xie Cinian took off his glasses and sighed.
"Why aren't you watching anymore?"
Xie Cinian put away his glasses and held them in his hand. "If I keep looking at them, I'll start to feel inferior."
Pei Zhi asked in confusion, "You? Insecure? Do you want to compete with me in beauty?"
Xie Cinian did not answer Pei Zhi's question, but instead asked, "Why did you suddenly come back?"
Pei Zhi threw all the fish food in her hand into the tank. "I ran out of money, so I came back."
Xie Cinian hesitated for a moment, "I remember you donated almost all your assets a few years ago, how come you're only now out of money?"
Pei Zhi said pitifully, "Yes, she pretended to be rich before, donated all her money, and then found a man to support her."
“I ate his food and drank his drinks, but a while ago, he thought I was old and unattractive and kicked me to the curb. I couldn’t even afford to eat, so I came back.”
"Don't joke around." Xie Cinian sneered, "Is there any man in this world who would kick you?"
Xie Cinian didn't believe a single word Pei Zhi said.
Xie Ci Nian was very angry for a while after divorcing Pei Zhi.
Xie Ci Nian believes that he has been outstanding since childhood, and he cannot accept that Pei Zhi insists on divorcing him.
Xie Cinian felt that Pei Zhi disliked him.
After the divorce, Xie Ci Nian focused all his energy on his career.
Until Xie Ci dreamed of Pei Zhi every night.
Xie Cinian missed Pei Zhi so much that he had someone investigate her.
Xie Cinian believed that with his connections, investigating someone would be a piece of cake.
To investigate someone, you naturally have to check their bank statements first.
As long as a person is alive, they have to spend money.
Once he finds out where Pei Zhi spent her money, he can find her.
Only after checking Pei Zhi's bank statements did they discover that Pei Zhi had donated all her assets.
Apart from that, no other accounts of Pei Zhi could be found.
No records of Pei Zhi's finances, photos, or fingerprints could be found, and no trace of Pei Zhi could be found.
It was like seeing a ghost; Pei Zhi simply vanished into thin air.
As time went on, Xie Cinian felt that Pei Zhi's appearance was like a dream.
Xie Ci Nian was unable to discuss Pei Zhi's matter with Lu Ming Xu and Chi Xiu Wen.
Xie Ci Nian could only chat with Hu Shi occasionally, and it was from Hu Shi that he confirmed that Pei Zhi really existed.
After all these years, Xie Ci Nian had given up hope, but Pei Zhi suddenly came back.
It's still the same as before, without any change.
Pei Zhi teased, "Thank you for acknowledging my charm."
A gust of wind suddenly blew through the open courtyard; Pei Zhi had just taken off her coat inside the private room.
Seeing this, Xie Cinian draped his coat over Pei Zhi's shoulders.
What are your plans after you come back?
"I'm currently working as Hu Shih's assistant. It includes room and board and I get paid 100,000 a month. I'll just stay here for a while and see what happens."
Pei Zhi felt that life was pretty good like this.
Xie Cinian nodded. "It's chilly outside, let's go back first."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi was about to take off her coat.
"Keep your coat, I'm not cold."
Since Xie Cinian had already offered so much, Pei Zhi didn't intend to refuse him.
