After the kiss ended, Tang Ning suddenly opened her eyes, and the dazzling lights fell in fragments on her dark pupils.
Looking into those eyes, Pei Yuan's mind went completely blank for a moment.
The commotion and cheers from the surrounding crowd continued, but Tang Ning, who was standing in front of him with a dreamy smile in her eyes, suddenly frowned slightly, then raised her hand to cover Pei Yuan's ears and moved closer.
"It's so noisy here, let's not stay here, okay?"
Without even waiting for Pei Yuan's reply, she smiled, took his hand, and led him out of the bar.
There were so many people in the bar that, worried that she might get separated from the person next to her, Tang Ning quickly slipped her hand between his fingers, forming a handshake, as if holding hands like this would prevent them from getting separated.
After their fingers intertwined, she glanced back at Pei Yuan with a slightly smug look.
Perhaps due to being drunk, Tang Ning's steps were very unsteady, and wherever she went, she was met with teasing glances.
However, Pei Yuan was no longer aware of the teasing and ambiguous gazes around him. He was staring blankly at his hands, which were tightly clasped together with Tang Ning's, his eyes lowered. For a moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
As the two walked further and further away, the group of people in the bar who had been egging them on started chattering amongst themselves.
"I have to say, from behind, this blind man and the rich woman actually look quite well-matched."
"Hey, I was just thinking the same thing, but I didn't expect you to agree with me. The two of them standing together just have this inexplicable chemistry, they're such a perfect match, like they were meant to be together..."
"Look at how far-fetched you're making it sound! If these two don't get married and have kids, and have a house full of descendants, it would be a shame if you didn't do justice to your speculations, hahaha!"
"Alright, alright, what's the point of talking about this? The rich woman is gone, but her money is still here. Let's all drink until we drop tonight, until we drop!"
...
The group of people got lively again.
Afterwards, the romantic love story between a blind man and a wealthy woman was a topic of much discussion in the Houhai bars, which contributed to the bars' growing popularity. Of course, that's another story.
At this moment, Tang Ning and Pei Yuan were almost out of the bar. Drunk people don't have good eyesight. Sure enough, even though the glass door of the bar was tightly closed not far ahead, Tang Ning seemed not to see anything and was about to crash straight into it.
Sensing something was amiss, Pei Yuan instinctively pulled Tang Ning into his arms with the hand he was holding, causing her nose to slam heavily against his hard chest.
The pain and soreness brought tears to Tang Ning's eyes, and she looked at Pei Yuan accusingly.
Noticing her gaze, Pei Yuan deliberately forced himself not to look down, his eyes still unfocused on a point in mid-air. He explained earnestly, "We're almost at the door, right? When I came in just now, I noticed there's a door here. Be careful not to bump into it..."
Hearing him say that, Tang Ning deliberately turned around to take a closer look, then turned back to Pei Yuan in surprise, "It really works... If you hadn't reminded me, I might have bumped into it just now, you're so kind..."
As she spoke, she suddenly frowned again, looking distressed. "You're beautiful and kind, unlike me, who only has money and nothing else..."
Before Pei Yuan could even offer a word of comfort, she immediately perked up, "But don't worry, I'll treat you really, really well. I'll give you all my money, and if I'm broke, I'll steal electric bikes to support you!"
Tang Ning spoke with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this assumption, Pei Yuan couldn't help but smirk, "But I am blind."
"No way? You're blind?"
Tang Ning said in disbelief, and before Pei Yuan's upturned lips had completely faded, she looked up at him with a smile, "What a pity! You wouldn't be able to see how good-looking you really are, and you might be easily fooled?"
"But it's alright, I have eyes, I can see, I can tell you, your eyes look somewhat like peach blossom eyes, but the color of your pupils is different from most people, it's a beautiful purplish-gray, your nose..."
As she described him, Tang Ning pushed open the glass door of the bar, took Pei Yuan's hand, and slowly walked out. Her eyes never left Pei Yuan's face, and she described every detail of his face to him.
Seeing Tang Ning like this made Pei Yuan, who always had a gentle smile on his lips, feel as if, in this vast world, his eyes could only hold her.
The whole world was dark and gloomy, except for Tang Ning, who was talking incessantly in front of him, radiating a soft and warm light, just like... just like their childhood.
Thinking of this, Pei Yuan's long, thick black eyelashes drooped slightly.
fraud.
He had already learned his lesson; not a single word she uttered was true.
A hint of mockery flashed across Pei Yuan's eyes.
"Ah, my car is there, I see it..."
Just then, Tang Ning suddenly pointed excitedly at the white Lamborghini parked not far away. Before she could pull Pei Yuan over, she suddenly stopped.
"No, I'm drunk, and you can't see me. It's too dangerous for the two of us to drive. I have to obey the law, so let's just take a taxi. Taking a taxi is better and safer."
Even when she was drunk, she still thought about obeying the law.
So, she pulled Pei Yuan directly to the side of the road, and after waving her hand for who knows how long, she finally managed to flag down a taxi.
Seeing this, Tang Ning quickly pulled Pei Yuan upstairs and told the driver to go to Yujingxuan.
"Let me tell you, my house is huge, with lots and lots of rooms, upstairs and downstairs. If you like, you can stay in whichever room you want..."
As they were talking, Pei Yuan noticed that the woman who had been gesturing as she spoke had suddenly fallen silent and was now tilting her head, staring intently at his face.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Pei Yuan, who continued to pretend not to see, slightly tilted his ear and asked subconsciously.
"I don't want to talk anymore. Just looking at you makes me feel so good, so happy..."
Tang Ning smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuan's hand, which was resting to his side, clenched instantly.
When Tang Ning was drunk, her mouth was so sweet it was as if it had been coated with the sweetest honey in the world, and she showered people with flattering words without restraint.
But the more she acted this way, the more easily Pei Yuan was reminded of her childhood.
Back then, wasn't it precisely through these sweet and energetic words that she successfully pried open the closed door to his heart, and then...
Then discard him.
I never expected that even after growing up, they would still use the same tricks.
Does she use this trick on every man? If he remembers correctly, she should have a boyfriend named Han Jun, whom she's been dating for ten years and is about to marry, right?
So what were her intentions when she proposed to keep him as a sugar daddy?
Was it out of retaliation, or because he was drunk?
Pei Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
Tang Ning noticed this slight change in the man and mentally raised an eyebrow.
Yes, she did it on purpose, deliberately acting exactly like the original owner when she was a child in front of Pei Yuan. Some scars, if not forcefully reopened, will remain a knot for life. Moreover, she didn't think the original owner had done anything to wrong Pei Yuan.
Her only mistake was that she had poor eyesight; the people she helped one after another turned around and bit her.
Pei Yuan was like this, and so was Han Jun.
Even junior employees who were kept on out of momentary pity were included.
That's really something, unlucky to an extreme.
However, Pei Yuan is somewhat different from the other two, which can be seen from his extremely high favorability rating. He clearly both loves and hates the original owner who was the only one who gave him warmth. The reason why the original owner is presented with a choice in the plot is probably because even he himself does not know what he really wants.
Nothing seems right.
As the original owner went astray step by step, he also became increasingly extreme, trapping himself in despair until they were both destroyed.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning suddenly called out to the little system in her mind.
"54088, can I find out Pei Yuan's ending?"
Unlike the obvious happy endings of Han Jun, Xia Yang, and Su Mo, Pei Yuan's ending is rather vaguely explained in the plot.
"able."
54088, who had been lounging around doing nothing, hurriedly replied as soon as he heard that he had something to do.
After a brief silence, a painting quickly unfolded before Tang Ning—
In the quiet, dimly lit castle, Pei Yuan lay back in a rocking chair, watching the setting sun sway gently as it gradually descended before him. A newspaper from China floated lightly from his hand.
Behind him were all the news and various photos of the original owner during his ten years in prison.
The original owner in the photo had a lifeless look in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul and was left with only a shell.
It was at this moment that the observant Tang Ning suddenly realized that during the ten years she was imprisoned, despite all the messy things happening around her, she seemed to have never been affected at all. Even the big boss in the prison didn't seem to dare to mess with her.
It could be said that she spent a relatively comfortable ten years in prison.
But when a person's heart dies, it's truly dead.
For her, it probably didn't matter where she was; she had no interest in paying attention to what was happening around her.
If Tang Ning wasn't mistaken, Pei Yuan was most likely protecting her during her ten years in prison.
First, send her to jail, then send people inside to protect her and find out what she does every day. What kind of crazy thing is this?
It's really...
Then she saw Pei Yuan lying in the rocking chair, and as the sun completely set, he suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a cell phone from his pants pocket and started making calls non-stop.
The man's voice was low and slightly hoarse, but every word he spoke was tinged with violence and bloodshed.
He said that money was not a problem, but he wanted to watch Han Jun, Su Mo, and Xia Yang, who had climbed so high, fall heavily from their heights, be driven to despair, suffer unbearable pain, and live a life worse than death.
Just three months later, Tang Ning saw that Pei Yuan had received news of Su Mo's suicide, Han Jun's bankruptcy, and Xia Yang's disfigurement.
He didn't even spare the employee who spread rumors online, became best friends with Xia Yang, and rose to a high position.
Upon receiving the message, he revealed a childlike, innocent yet cruel smile.
That night, the castle caught fire.
Pei Yuan remained seated in his rocking chair until he was completely engulfed by the flames...
Seeing this, Tang Ning suddenly came back to her senses, and when she looked at the person next to her again, a hint of complicated emotions flashed across her eyes.
The moment Pei Yuan looked over, she quickly turned her head and looked out the car window.
"We're here! This is my house!"
Tang Ning pointed to the villa area not far away with delight and said with a smile.
After saying that, as soon as the taxi came to a stop, she dropped off the money and pulled Pei Yuan out of the car, heading excitedly in that direction.
"This is it."
Tang Ning unlocked the door with her fingerprint. As the door opened, the smiling woman looked up and met Han Jun's gaze. Han Jun was standing in a brightly lit room, seemingly having returned home sometime during a sudden transformation.
Upon seeing that face, Tang Ning froze on the spot.
Almost simultaneously, Han Jun, who had been smiling as he thought Tang Ning had returned, also looked at Tang Ning holding another man's hand in disbelief, his smile freezing on his face.
Pei Yuan, who also saw Han Jun's astonished expression, suddenly had a hint of amusement in his eyes.
But he still pretended not to know anything, and in the silence, he asked innocently, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly not talking?"
Hearing his words, Tang Ning snapped out of her daze. Her gaze remained fixed on Han Jun's face as she smiled, "It's nothing. I just saw some unclean things at home, nothing serious..."
As she spoke, completely unafraid of Han Jun's murderous gaze, she intertwined her fingers with Pei Yuan's again and pulled him toward the stairwell on one side.
She didn't care; she was drunk anyway, so she could do whatever she wanted!
If you want to cheat on someone, then go ahead and do it. Besides, they've already broken up, so it doesn't really count as cheating anymore, right?
She was cheated on from head to toe the day before yesterday, but she said nothing and still lived on strongly.
With that thought, Tang Ning became even less concerned. Holding Pei Yuan's hand, she walked past Han Jun, who still seemed to be in a daze, without glancing at him.
Just as they were passing each other, Han Jun grabbed her wrist with such force that he almost broke Tang Ning's wrist.
"Tang Ning..."
Do you know what you're doing?
He suppressed his grief and indignation and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Heh." Hearing his words, Tang Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing. "No, who am I to you now? What I do is none of your business."
Even if it's okay, I can't... let you ruin yourself like this.
Before Han Jun could finish speaking, Pei Yuan's voice rang in Tang Ning's ears again, "Whose voice is that? Is there anyone else in your family?"
Upon hearing his words, Tang Ning hurriedly explained, "No, no, don't misunderstand, he's just an insignificant ex-boyfriend..."
How did he get a key to your house?
Pei Yuan's ability to grasp the key points is excellent.
"It's all my fault for forgetting to change the locks. Will you mind?"
Tang Ning's expression grew even more anxious. "Don't worry, I promise I won't have anything to do with him anymore. The person I want to be with now is you, only you. He's not as good-looking as you at all, really, I swear to you..."
As she spoke, Tang Ning suddenly frowned. "Forget it, let's not stay here. The smell of this person is everywhere, it's really disgusting. Actually, I have many other houses, all of them are big and beautiful. How about I take you to another place? What kind of decor do you like? Just tell me, and I'll do it..."
"Enough!"
Before Tang Ning could finish expressing her heartfelt feelings, Han Jun couldn't listen anymore.
He could tell that Tang Ning was drunk. It had always been like this; when she was drunk, she would do all sorts of bizarre things, and this one would probably be no exception.
Even though he knew it in his heart, Han Jun still found it very hard to accept. The frustration and discomfort in his heart made him start to speak recklessly.
"You don't need to leave. Look at the two of you, I'm the one who should be leaving!"
Han Jun took two steps back, clenched his fist, and turned to leave.
"Wait, wait a minute..."
He had only taken two steps when Tang Ning's voice rang out behind him again.
Upon hearing the voice, Han Jun immediately stopped in his tracks, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.
Pei Yuan, who was holding hands with Tang Ning, suddenly had a deep look in his eyes.
He knew this would be the outcome. He had seen with his own eyes how good Tang Ning was to Han Jun, practically wanting to lay her heart out in front of him. So what if she was drunk?
How could she possibly drive away the man she had loved for so many years for his sake?
Pei Yuan scoffed inwardly.
Then the two heard Tang Ning say in an incredibly gentle tone, "It's windy outside, please close the door behind you when you go out, thank you."
She added a thank you.
Han Jun suddenly turned around and glanced at Tang Ning, who was smiling, before running away without looking back.
Pei Yuan, who was left standing there, stiffly allowed Tang Ning to pull him to sit down on the sofa. For a while, he was still a little dazed.
Then, she couldn't help but chuckle softly to herself, and even the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Han Jun regretted it as soon as he ran out of the villa. How could he leave the drunk Tang Ning and a strange man in the villa like that? He simply couldn't believe what would happen between Tang Ning and that blind man later.
He wanted to turn back, but Tang Ning had already said those things, and Han Jun didn't have the nerve to back down. Besides, he was afraid that if he went back, Tang Ning would make him angry again.
After a wave of frustration and confusion, Han Jun kicked the camphor tree by the door. He didn't know how much time had passed before he got into his car, stepped on the gas, and sped off.
Halfway there, Xia Yang called, but Han Jun, already annoyed, didn't answer. He casually tossed the phone away, and as the car sped past, the phone, after only two rings, was crushed to pieces by the tires...
Inside the villa, Pei Yuan was smiling when Tang Ning suddenly reached out and touched the corner of his mouth. The soft, warm touch made Pei Yuan tremble involuntarily, completely unprepared.
"I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, like I've met you somewhere before?"
Tang Ning said this with a slightly bewildered look in her eyes.
Before Pei Yuan could reply, she lowered her hand. "Whether I've met you before or not, everything I said before was true. Come with me, and I'll treat you very, very well. I have lots and lots of money, and you can spend it however you want. I definitely won't have any objections!"
Faced with such beauty, Tang Ning was incredibly generous.
"You're drunk..."
Pei Yuan answered her with a smile.
"No, I'm not drunk. I'm not drunk at all. I'm very sober, extremely sober. I know what I'm doing..."
With her cheeks flushed, Tang Ning said this in a serious tone. Seeing that Pei Yuan showed no sign of backing down, she suddenly slumped down. "Or is it that you don't like me either? Am I really like what Dai Min said, completely lacking in charm and femininity, so you dislike me too..."
No, you're fine.
Upon hearing Tang Ning's words, Pei Yuan immediately confirmed them without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ning, who had been sitting in front of him looking dejected and about to go to the corner to grow mushrooms, immediately raised her head, her eyes lighting up, "Really?"
Seeing that the drunk Tang Ning was so easy to coax, Pei Yuan smiled again and nodded, "Really."
"I……"
Seeing him smile, Tang Ning suddenly stammered out a sentence.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing his question, Tang Ning suddenly leaned closer and said frankly and directly, "I kind of want to kiss you..."
Caught off guard, Pei Yuan's pupils dilated instantly upon hearing these words.
But then he saw Tang Ning humming and asking if it was okay, if it was okay, and she got closer and closer. He could smell the faint smell of alcohol on her. Even though he hadn't been drinking, Pei Yuan suddenly felt a kind of drunken illusion, and his heart started pounding violently.
He silently watched as Tang Ning's pink lips drew closer and closer to him under the light, so close that he could even feel her warm breath.
It's very close...
Just as their lips were about to touch, Tang Ning shook her head twice, then slammed it onto his shoulder with a thud, and fell into a deep sleep.
Pei Yuan, whose kiss had failed, was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he felt Tang Ning in his arms adjust her position on her own and continue to sleep sweetly.
Seeing this, Pei Yuan finally couldn't help but chuckle softly, the sound of his laughter even causing his chest to vibrate.
That's really true...
As always, it will be tormenting.
The next day, the moment the warm morning sunlight shone on the bed, Tang Ning's eyelashes trembled slightly, then trembled again.
After finally opening her eyes, Tang Ning, still half asleep, saw Pei Yuan's face right in front of her.
In a short while, all her sleepiness vanished.
Tang Ning sat up abruptly in bed, looking at the man lying next to her in disbelief.
This can't be real!
She seemed to be drunk last night, and then... and then...
Author's Note: Tang Ning: Hmm, I've decided, I'm not going to take responsibility.
Pei Yuan: Dream on!
Han Jun: I should be under the car, not inside it!
Hahaha~~~
The original storylines never ended well either! A yandere, obsessive maniac—if Tang Ning dies, it's no wonder he won't let Han Jun and the others go; he won't even spare himself!
