Qin Bai raised his wine glass: "Sister Wanyin, now it's just us left, don't you have anything to say?"
"What...what should I say?"
The usually composed and calm CEO Pei has now become a stammering, timid woman.
She took a sip of red wine, trying to calm her anxiety.
But things didn't go as planned.
My heart was beating faster.
Qin Bai stood up and sat down next to her.
"Remember our promise? It's a pity that some people don't seem to believe me at all."
Now that there are no outsiders around, how could Qin Bai, who was stood up, possibly let it go?
Pei Wanyin lowered her eyes and murmured, "I had no choice at the time."
"This is not a reason for you not to wait for me."
"So, what do you want to do?"
Her soft voice, tinged with a hint of coquetry, exploded in Qin Bai's ears like a devil's whisper.
Bewitching all beings.
Qin Bai stared blankly at her blushing profile.
The stark contrast made it hard to tell for a moment whether this was still the gentle Pei Wanyin.
So even mature women can modify data?
This is really unbearable.
Pei Wanyin waited for a while but didn't hear Qin Bai's voice. When she looked up, his burning gaze fell on her face.
A sense of accomplishment immediately filled her heart.
Yo yo yo.
Even a novice can't do it.
It was just a simple act of being cute, how did it cause the computer to crash?
I thought that after practicing the confrontation lane with his girlfriends for so long, he should have achieved some results.
Now it seems...
It's not that impressive.
Pei Wanyin thought to herself with a touch of smugness.
However, she didn't press her advantage. Having navigated the treacherous waters of the business world for years, she knew it was inappropriate to provoke a novice at this point, otherwise...
You'll most likely be the one who suffers.
"Xiaobai, when are you planning to go back?"
"Huh?" Qin Bai snapped back to reality instantly: "There's no rush. We need to finish discussing some details with Fei Yangyang first."
After successfully changing the subject, Pei Wanyin gradually calmed down.
She laughed and said, "You have the nerve to say that? He's a guest, after all. It's not good to make him drink so much."
"Sister Wanyin, this has nothing to do with me, he asked for it himself."
"Forget it, I taught you that trick of persuading people to drink. You were obviously doing it on purpose."
Qin Bai suddenly put down his wine glass and reached out to pinch Pei Wanyin's chin.
The two were very close, and the forced eye contact made her heart, which had just calmed down, start racing again.
"Yes, Sister Wanyin is right. I did it on purpose. Otherwise, how could we be alone together?"
Seeing his slightly mischievous smile, Pei Wanyin almost lost her composure.
"Xiao Bai, you..."
Don't you want to be alone with me?
Pei Wanyin tilted her head slightly, avoiding his intense gaze.
She was afraid that if they continued to gaze at each other, she would become lost in the moment.
She couldn't understand Qin Bai's feelings. Many things have two sides before they are clearly explained.
Good or bad.
If it's the latter, she's afraid she won't be able to handle the outcome.
"Xiaobai, you're drunk."
Qin Bai said with a smile, "You should know my alcohol tolerance; you're just afraid to face some things."
"What is there that I'm afraid to face?"
"Alright then, let me ask you, do you like me?"
Qin Bai stopped smiling and stared at him seriously.
Pei Wanyin suddenly looked up; she never expected Xiaobai to ask such a direct question.
Although she has never been in a relationship, these things should take time to develop.
Asking such a question leaves you wondering how to answer it.
Qin Bai didn't give her much time to think.
"When we first met, it was also when I had lost the will to live."
"It's no exaggeration to say that if you hadn't given me that money, my mother would have been kicked out of the hospital."
"The consequences are predictable; she and I should have already begun our reincarnation by now."
"Later, you took me to many places and taught me many things."
"It made me realize that the world is not all darkness, and there are many beautiful things worth striving for."
"Just like that small town where we lived for so long, many things in it haven't changed, just like my heart longing for you."
"You haven't contacted me for the past few years, I thought you had long forgotten me."
"I've been disappointed, and I've also come to terms with it, but I can't forget our promise."
"Until you appeared in that auditorium and saved our lives again."
"At that time, I was certain that my feelings for you were no longer so simple."
"This gives me a reason to work hard and narrow the gap between us."
"Until today."
“Pei Wanyin, it was your gentleness that pulled me out of that bottomless abyss.”
"So, what reason do I have not to go...?"
Do I like you?
Pei Wanyin listened attentively to his story, her gaze unwavering this time, fixed on Qin Bai's eyes.
She was afraid.
I'm afraid all of this is just Qin Bai joking.
I'm afraid that everything is just my imagination.
She squeezed her arm hard.
The pain at this moment actually made Pei Wanyin feel much more at ease.
Thankfully, everything is real.
Especially when Qin Bai called him by his name directly, a strange joy filled his heart.
