Pei Yang never imagined that he, who had previously refused to marry, would be so happy about getting married soon.
Could it be that she was nervous before the wedding, which is why she couldn't wait to come over while he was at work?
Pei Yang smiled and strode out of the office building. When he saw Xu Jiayue sitting in the restaurant across the street, he quickened his pace.
"I've already contacted the Italian side, and the wedding dress should arrive by tomorrow night at the latest, so don't worry," Pei Yang said to Xu Jiayue with a smile as he sat down.
Xu Jiayue's face was expressionless, her gaze fixed on Pei Yang.
"What's wrong?" Pei Yang reached out and took her hand from the table, his smile fading as he frowned with concern. "Why are your hands so cold?"
Xu Jiayue withdrew her hand and said calmly, "Pei Yang, do you remember how those gloves disappeared?"
Pei Yang was good at understanding people's hearts. He could tell that Xu Jiayue seemed unusual today. It wasn't as simple as her arguing about the gloves. More than a month had passed since then, and she had forgiven him. It wouldn't be that she was bringing up the past to interrogate him.
She stared at him like that, so he had no choice but to repeat himself: "I was having dinner with my friends that day and I accidentally left it at the restaurant."
"Friends?" Xu Jiayue's lips twitched. "Ex-lovers, right? You were having so much fun chatting with your ex that you forgot to take off your gloves."
Pei Yang frowned. "Did someone say something to you?"
"If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it in the first place." Xu Jiayue took out the gloves and threw them in front of him, saying, "An hour ago, a lady surnamed Qin called my cell phone. She asked me to pass these on to you. Don't tell me you don't know her."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yang explained, "I admit that I know her, and we dated for a while seven years ago, but we broke up quickly."
At that time, Xu Jiayue was heartbroken because of Gu Chen's matter and went abroad to study. That's when he met Qin Yun. It was a relatively serious relationship for him, but the ending was not very happy.
"I didn't lie to you about the gloves. I was indeed having dinner with some friends, and I just happened to run into her that day." Pei Yang explained earnestly to Xu Jiayue, and fearing that she might misunderstand, he added, "I really didn't see her again after that. As for why she's only now saying she wants to return the gloves, I really don't know."
“Is that so?” Xu Jiayue looked at him, a slight mocking smile playing on her lips. “Is that all you have to say?”
Pei Yang sensed something was off. If it was just because he met his ex-girlfriend, Xu Jiayue wouldn't be so angry; it seemed like there was something more to her words.
"What did she say to you?" He frowned.
"She didn't say anything, she just wished us a happy marriage." Xu Jiayue said coldly, "But I think she wasted her breath saying that."
"What do you mean?" Pei Yang stared intently at Xu Jiayue's face.
“Pei Yang, I have no intention of becoming a stepmother.” Xu Jiayue took off the engagement ring.
"What do you mean by stepmother? Explain yourself clearly." Pei Yang didn't understand her meaning at all.
“That Miss Qin has a son, about six years old this year, who looks just like you. You haven’t even met him yet?” Xu Jiayue curled her lips in a mocking smile, threw the ring into the water glass, watched it slowly sink to the bottom, and then looked up and said, “I should congratulate you on becoming a father.”
Pei Yang was stunned. How could this be? Qin Yun hadn't mentioned anything when they met again that day.
