Perhaps neither of them knew what would happen if they revealed the truth, so neither of them did.
One pretends not to love, the other pretends not to know.
Xu Jiayue couldn't quite explain her feelings for Pei Yang anymore. Before, she genuinely saw him as a brother she could play around with.
But later, she guessed that Pei Yang liked her, and something felt off; she couldn't look at him with the same eyes as before. However, as for romantic feelings, she felt there probably weren't any; she certainly wouldn't violate any morals for him.
Her lukewarm relationship with Han Shizhao, though they had met only a handful of times, had lasted for a year and a half. She should have married him long ago; she had already wronged him once, and she wouldn't do it again.
If she ran away from her wedding because of Pei Yang, what about Han Shizhao? He didn't do anything wrong and shouldn't be betrayed. Otherwise, what kind of person would she be?
Xu Jiayue held her phone and, seeing that Pei Yang wasn't speaking, said softly, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I need to go to sleep early so I can be a beautiful bride tomorrow."
When Pei Yang heard Jia Yue say that, he understood what she meant. In the end, he just tugged at the corner of his lips and said, "You will definitely be the most beautiful bride. Go to sleep early. Good night."
Xu Jiayue didn't want to give him too much hope, so she immediately hung up the phone.
Pei Yang lowered his hand, let out a long breath, sat up, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it too quickly, choking violently.
His phone suddenly rang again. Without even looking at it, he assumed it was Xu Jiayue calling back and immediately picked it up.
When he heard it was a man's voice, he leaned back on the sofa and casually responded.
"Mr. Pei, should we continue following Han Shizhao?" This man was hired by Pei Yang and had been keeping an eye on Han Shizhao for almost a year, but he felt no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.
Han Shizhao rarely goes on leave from the military. Even when he does, he mostly hangs out with other men. He has no bad habits and hasn't been caught cheating. If you say he has strong counter-surveillance skills, he was initially just pretending, but you can't keep up the act for a year. In all this time, apart from his official girlfriend, he hasn't even gotten close to a single young woman. You could say that his level of self-discipline is probably comparable only to that of a monk.
"Forget it." Pei Yang tilted his head back, pressed his temples. He had followed them for so long without anything unusual happening. They were getting married tomorrow, so there was no point in continuing.
"Okay, that's it for us." The private investigator said, then hung up the phone.
Just as he hung up the phone and was about to start his car and leave the apartment building, he saw a very surprising scene. He thought he was seeing things and quickly patted his colleague next to him.
My colleague had already taken out a camera and was filming, constantly swearing under his breath. He was probably too shocked to express his astonishment in this way.
After finishing a bottle of tequila, Pei Yang felt a burning sensation in his stomach and started to feel dizzy. He grabbed his clothes, got up, and left.
After paying the bill and leaving the bar, the driver immediately came over to help him.
Pei Yang returned home, didn't even take a shower, went straight to bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Inside the bar's private room, his phone, which he had left behind, kept ringing loudly.
He kept calling until his phone ran out of battery and shut down, but the person on the other end didn't wait for him to answer the phone, so they simply sent him a text message with the edited photos.
Pei Yang didn't wake up until after 10 a.m. the next morning. He had a splitting headache and got up to take a shower.
Today is Xu Jiayue's wedding.
