Chapter 237 - Can You Wait?
Song Yan came to her senses and looked at Uncle Pei and me.
We are all very sensitive people, so she quickly noticed that there was a difference between Uncle Pei and me.
This made her eyes dim uncontrollably.
I couldn't help but feel jealous. She didn't understand, she didn't understand how God could be so partial. She had gone through so much hardship but couldn't get even a bit of true love. But I...
Don't do anything.
Just before, Shen Yanci turned white overnight for me and risked his life for me, and now Pei Shen, the most outstanding person in the top circle, is bowing to me.
On what basis? On what basis?
She couldn't figure it out, and the more she couldn't figure it out, the more she couldn't control the excitement in her heart.
She knew it was wrong.
She shouldn't be like this.
However, jealousy is the emotion that people cannot control, and it is also the emotion that is most likely to lead people astray.
Even though I know that this kind of jealousy is bad and useless, I still can't help but feel jealous.
This made her look at Pei Shen, "Mr. Pei, what are you and Miss Qiao doing?"
Pei Shen smiled wickedly and hugged me tighter. "My fiancée, to whom I just proposed, will be getting engaged at the end of the month. If Mr. Li and Mrs. Li have time, you can come over for a drink at the wedding."
His words startled Shen Yanci and Song Yan at the same time, and then their expressions became indescribable.
Especially Shen Yanci's expression.
After knowing each other for so many years, I have never seen him like this... like this, I don’t know how to describe it.
So I just stopped looking at him.
No matter how beautiful the past was, it has passed and we should look forward.
Song Yan couldn't believe her ears. Who in the circle didn't know that Pei Shen was a non-marriageist?
His attitude of not getting married or having children made everyone believe that Pei Ye was the heir of the Pei family.
Now, what did he say?
That he just proposed to Qiao Yi successfully?
And... and... wasn't Qiao Yi the person his nephew Pei Ye liked? How come he suddenly fell in love with her and even proposed to her successfully?
It wasn't just Song Yan who couldn't believe her ears.
Others at the party couldn't believe what they heard.
Because, just as Song Yan said, everyone knows that Pei Shen is a non-marriageist.
Once upon a time, the president's daughter liked him and wanted to marry him, but he refused. Now... now, he is getting married, and he took the initiative to propose!
This... this...
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes turned to me!
Even though I've seen the world, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I was suddenly surrounded by so many people.
Sensing my discomfort, Uncle Pei smiled and looked at everyone, "Don't look at my fiancée like that, she'll be shy."
Pei Shen has always been a playboy in public. In the early years, although he had many scandals, he did date many women. But no matter whether they were rich girls, movie queens, or congressman's daughters, it was the women who clung to Pei Shen.
No one has ever seen Pei Shen protecting any woman.
Now, no one said anything. They were just instinctively curious about the woman who made him propose to her, so he protected her like this.
This makes everyone feel that this is true love!
Absolutely true love!
Otherwise, you can't let a heartless king in the gaming world take the initiative to propose to her and protect her like this!
For a moment, all the young ladies at the banquet couldn't help but envy and hate the woman who was protected in Pei Shen's arms.
Because of my famous scientific research achievements, and the big incident between Song Yan and I, I am also a celebrity, so people recognized me quickly.
Then, pretty soon everyone knew that I had been married for four years.
It's a second marriage!
Although it is already a new era, people are always more tolerant of men than women. When a man gets divorced and then remarries or finds another woman, especially a man of status, no one will think that he is getting married for the second time or anything like that.
I also think that this is as it should be and that he is very capable.
But a woman, no matter how outstanding she is, will be labeled as a second-marriage or a slut once she has been married.
I can't help but feel that a woman who is remarried is not worthy of a good man or a good life.
Just like most of the people present, they all felt that with Pei Shen's conditions, he could not find a divorced woman no matter what.
Feeling the change in the gazes of the people around him, Pei Shen's eyes suddenly darkened.
He has always been very nice to me and thinks I am good in every way.
In the following banquets and social events, he treated me even better and let everyone know how much he valued me, how much he liked me, and how much he thought I was the best in the world.
Whoever looks down on me looks down on him.
If they offend him, they can still live, but if they offend me, he will make them live a life worse than death!
The importance he attached to me made people at the scene no longer dare to look at me in that way.
After all, Pei Shen is a big shot in the top circle, and even the powerful people may not dare to confront him head-on, let alone them.
Feeling the change in people's attitudes, Pei Shen's cold and violent temper subsided and he returned to his usual laziness.
Shen Yanci looked at Pei Shen hugging me and protecting me like that.
My heart is in suffocating pain.
He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that at this stage, Pei Shen was stronger than him, and he seemed to really like me and was really good to me.
Shen Yanci knew that in Pei Shen's position, he no longer needed to sacrifice his marriage for any reason. If he wanted to get married and be nice to a woman, it must be because he purely liked her and wanted to get married.
Although, he was just as puzzled as Song Yan. They were puzzled. Pei Shen was clearly pursuing me for his nephew, so how did he end up being with me?
But, as a man, he could see that Pei Shen really liked me and wanted to marry me.
This caused him great pain.
When he was at his worst and most incompetent, he met such a powerful enemy like Pei Shen.
Pei Ye and I are together. Although he is jealous and sour, he is not afraid because he knows that I only have a sister-brother relationship with Pei Ye and there is no way I can like Pei Ye as a younger brother.
But he was afraid to be with Pei Shen.
Afraid that I would really fall in love with Pei Shen.
Shen Yanci, who has always been confident and arrogant and thinks he is the strongest in the world, admires for the first time in his life the person he feels he is not as good as is Pei Shen.
Especially in a situation like this.
This made him really scared, very scared.
I was so scared that he couldn't help but come to me when I was alone.
"Yi Yi, can you wait?"
I was a little confused by his sudden and senseless words. I looked confused and had no idea what he meant.
Shen Yanci looked at me, and I remembered that in the past, I didn't need him to say anything. I knew what he wanted to do with just one look from him. My heart ached so much that I couldn't bear it. Unconsciously, we had already gone so far apart.
We are already strangers and there is no tacit understanding anymore.
He felt so bad, really bad.
