Everyone sat down for a dinner in a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.

Alice and Zhang Pei sat next to each other, facing her, Zhang Pei was a little uncomfortable at first, but after chatting a few words, she found that Alice was a reasonable and understanding woman, she knew that Zhang Pei was in Moscow, before coming, she and her current husband chose a meeting gift, it was a brooch, not too expensive, but this heart was very valuable. The two also deliberately learned a few common Chinese words.

For example, when Zhang Pei helped her hand her a napkin, she blurted out the Chinese "thank you". All of a sudden, they narrowed the distance between each other.

Two women of the same age, originally separated by the north and south of the world, with very different nationalities, cultural environments, and different statuses, can sit together, talk and smile, and their life circumstances are not amazing.

Alice talked a lot about her and Peter's story with Pei, "I knew Peter when I was fifteen years old, and to be honest, on the day we got married, when I was standing in the church with him and facing the priest, I thought to myself, I would choose to marry this kind of person!"

Hearing her words, everyone at the table laughed, and even the only outsider, Shen Mozhen, couldn't help laughing.

"What kind of person is Dad?" asked Lina, curious.

"Old-fashioned, boring, unsentimental. ”

Zhang Pei put these three words on Peter in his heart, but he didn't feel like Peter.

When he first met, he was indeed a little old-fashioned and serious, but then he became familiar with it, Peter was very talkative, Zhang Pei still remembered that in the days when they visited the capital together, Peter had been taking the initiative to find topics to chat with her, so as not to let the atmosphere be cold.

At that time, her English was not good enough, Peter slowed down every sentence he said, accommodating her, taking care of her everywhere, and even when Liu Chengyu appeared, he was firmly on her side.

As for the mood......

Zhang Pei was a little distracted, Peter was so busy in the United States, he insisted on calling her at 6 o'clock in the morning every day, and he was about to leave at 7 o'clock one hour before work. It happened to be 8 o'clock in the evening on Zhang Pei's side, and the work was almost over, so the two chatted for a while. When Jiang Chengfeng and Li Xiaoru, Yu Zhan and Liu Yan were separating China and the United States, neither young man could do Peter's degree. For modern young people, it is too difficult to insist on getting up at 6 o'clock every day.

But Peter just had the perseverance to persevere, and not only that, he had a long-term cooperation with a flower shop in the capital, and during his absence from China, the flower shop would send a bouquet of roses to Zhang Pei's house every four days.

Zhang Peibo's large flat-floor apartment property is very good, when she is busy and not at home, the property helps her collect flowers, put them in the mailroom downstairs, when other owners come in and out, you can often see a large bouquet of bright roses, each time the color is different.

The curious owner asked the property which house was the flower, and who gave it to them? Everyone thought that eighty percent was the daughter of the boudoir, and it must be very beautiful.

As a result, the property said that the flowers were given to Ms. Zhang, the owner of the top floor of Building X.

All the owners were surprised, Zhang Pei was busy with work, leaving early and returning late every day, but the residents here knew her, and her daughter was the famous Liu Yan!

For example, they can boast outside that we live in a community with Liu Yan's mother.

The owner asked the security guard in surprise, "Isn't she single?"

"Yes, only single people have suitors, after getting married, which husband can be so diligent in sending flowers to his wife?"

Everyone is more curious, "Who is her suitor?"

"I don't know. ”

Look at these roses with different patterns, they are not cheap, and the other party must also be a person with status.

"I remember if Zhang Pei's husband was sentenced to prison?"

"It seems that I have a mental problem and I am in a mental hospital. ”

"Why are you mentioning him, Zhang Pei and that man have already divorced. ”

"That's why Zhang Pei has the ability, divorced, so old, and such a romantic suitor. ”

There are many divorced/widowed rich women in the community, some of whom are not as old as Zhang Pei, but they can't meet good men.

Once Zhang Pei came home and met a rich woman of the same age, the other party asked her a few words of gossip about her boyfriend, she smiled, only said that the other party was not Chinese and did not mind her previous marriage history.

Peter bought Lina a new mobile phone as a gift in the United States, and actually brought a gift to Zhang Pei, a bracelet that he saw in the window of an antique store in Los Angeles, and he was attracted at first sight.

Because it has a kind of oriental beauty, the chain body of cloisonné, with a white pearl in the middle, is not big, but very round. Reminds Peter of the precious artifacts he saw in the Forbidden City.

The owner of the antique shop offered $5,000, still a fixed price, insisting that it was an old object from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in China.

Peter was noncommittal about this kind of deception, and bought it without dragging his feet, not because he believed that it was an antique, but because he felt that this bracelet was very flattering to Zhang Pei's temperament.

Now Zhang Pei is wearing this bracelet on his left wrist.

Alice also noticed the necklace, she was close to Peter's taste, and she loved it too.

"This bracelet was given to you by Peter," she said in an affirmative tone, her voice low and not wanting to be heard by anyone else.

Zhang Pei nodded, "He bought it when he was on a business trip to the United States." ”

Alice smiled and took a sip of the wine in her glass, "He never gave me anything, not even a bag of local food, when he was on a business trip. ”

Zhang Pei was stunned for a moment.

"If I asked, he would say, 'Oh, you've been to that place too, you know there's nothing to do there, the food tastes average, you can buy anything you want, you can buy it online, I'll pay for it, even if you don't, next time you go by yourself, just buy it'." ”

Alice spread her hands, "You see, he always makes me speechless like this, so I always think that he is an extremely boring man, he has no other fun except work, and he doesn't understand romance, even if there is no love between us, but there can always be a little joy in life." Now I understand that he is not dull, he just hasn't met the person he loves, he doesn't want to worry about how to please me when he faces me, and when he faces you, he can rack his brains and change tricks to make you happy. That's the difference, if I hadn't known you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known he still had such a tender side. ”

Zhang Pei listened to Alice's story, and then looked at Peter, who was chatting with Luke, she never realized how deep Peter's feelings were for her, she thought it was a trivial matter, but the people around her were telling her that Peter loved her very much.

Otherwise, people are in it, and they don't know anything.

Alice raised her glass, "Let's have a toast, I hope you and Peter are happy, and I hope that one day, I can attend your wedding." ”
