I stared at the man in the car, one hand casually on the steering wheel, as if he didn't need to wait for me to answer, he was ready to step on the gas pedal and leave.

I let go of my lower lip, which was bitten by my own nervousness, and changed it to a relaxed and happy expression: "Mr. Chang, men are too smart and not cute." ”

"I think it's more important to hate men. Chang Yulin spoke naturally and fluently, without embarrassment at all.

"Goodbye!" I couldn't bargain for money, so I could only retreat quickly to retain my strength.

After a leisurely weekend, without Ms. Ouyang's phone call, without Pei Yanyan's instructions, or even without high-level invitations, I slept dimly every day. This is because I have been too tired recently, and the second is because in the dead of night, Chang Yulin's phrase "empathy and love" always echoes in my ears, which seriously affects my sleep quality.

Ten years of crush can't be easily extinguished, and even though I have a deep desire to be freed from my crush, years of emotional habits and the expectation of a millionth possibility always pull me back like a claw from the quagmire. It's also important to note that I don't have any "empathy" partners at all. Even if I get rid of my emotional dependence on Guo Nuo, there is still a hole in my heart that no one fills.

Pei Yanyan is probably a Virgo, and the messages she sends are always concise and to the point, which is very inconsistent with her gentle and lovely temperament, and even has the taste of a strong woman. She sent me a message asking me to meet this afternoon, at the pet cat café that Ms. Ouyang had taken me to.

I know that if it goes well, I won't need to wade into this muddy water in W State after meeting Pei Yanyan today. And if I'm lucky, Ms. Ouyang will also settle the balance for me in the near future.

"You're ten minutes late. Pei Yanyan glanced at his watch, and then looked at me almost coldly.

I didn't speak, but I couldn't help complaining in my heart, her father, her fiancé, and even Chang Yulin These men definitely couldn't imagine how Pei Yanyan, a pure beauty, was a queen in private.

"Did you bring what I wanted?" Pei Yanyan asked me unceremoniously what to drink, she likes to go straight to the point, from the first contact.

I waved to the waiter, and after ordering myself a cup of coffee, I slowly replied, "Brought it, but I'm not sure if I want to give it to you." ”

"What? you want to blackmail me?" Pei Yanyan was very nervous today, I knew that this was probably due to the fact that her repertoire was about to enter the climax, so she was afraid that something would go wrong.

"No, I just want you to know that I'm not just helping you for the money. ”

Pei Yanyan didn't show disdain when she heard this, nor did she ask me what I was helping her for, she just turned her head to look out the window, and spoke after a while: "I know." ”

"Can you let me know what you're going to do?" I was about to leave, but I still cared about the "old comrades" who remained in the arena and the opponents she had to deal with.

Pei Yanyan lowered his head and stirred the yogurt in front of him, there were a lot of kiwi slices in it: "If you have a cat, and you know very well that the cat's habit is that as long as you leave the house, it will not come back, what will you do?"

I didn't need to think to answer her, "I don't know how to have a cat because cats make me insecure." But if one day I raise it and she wants to leave, I may let her go. ”

Pei Yanyan smiled: "It seems that you really haven't had a cat, if you do, you will know that you will never let it go, so you can protect it." ”

When Pei Yanyan said this, his voice had already begun to be hoarse, as if it was swollen. I suddenly understood why she was "poisoned dumb by Lisa".

After Pei Yanyan left, I was drinking coffee slowly in the café alone, and it was very physically exhausting to come into contact with a person who was too scheming, so I should really charge Pei Yanyan some more.

Just as I was watching the two cats in the café bullying each other and looking distracted, the phone rang.

"Hey?" I looked at the two cats, and I didn't even look at the caller ID.

"May, it's me. "Yes...... Guo Nuo.

I tried to keep my emotions under control, and my tone was as relaxed and cheerful as possible, as if nothing had ever happened on the rooftop of Marriott: "What's wrong?

"Yes, there's something I want to tell you. Guo Nuo's voice is always so gentle and gentle, that people feel as if they are being watched by him.

"When?" I really couldn't guess what Guo Nuo was going to say to me, but as long as I could meet him, I felt that God had a reason to let me live in this world.

"I'll go to your house to look for you. ”

"Good!" I replied almost without thinking, but I didn't react until I hung up. In the evening, my family hopes that Guo Nuo is not here to watch the game this time, of course, I don't want anything.

In the evening, after cleaning up the house twice and applying light makeup, I noticed a problem: the most beautiful dress I had in this temporary shelter was the royal blue dress that Chang Yulin bought for me, to wear it or not? In the end, I still compromised with the "evil forces", but the side effect of this dress in addition to beauty is that as long as I wear it, I can always think of Chang Yulin's playful eyes.

"May", Guo Nuo appeared, at 9:30 p.m., the most embarrassing day for girls. As a light mature woman, I naturally don't have to block the door like an ignorant and reserved student girl and say, "It's too late, it's inconvenient." "Although, in my heart, I think it's a little too late.

"Orange juice or soda?" I said, opening the fridge.

"Soda. It turns out that Guo Nuo also likes to drink soda.

I sat across from Guo Nuo, and he looked at me and my skirt, and his eyes were complex and simple, which can basically be summed up as "knowingly asking".

The silence in the room was a little unsettling, Guo Nuo, who withdrew his gaze, picked up the soda and took a sip, he seemed to have a momentary hesitation, but finally he still said: "May, do you have a voice recorder here?"

I was stunned, and it took me a while to come to my senses: "Yes, if you're talking about the one Lisa's best friend sold me." ”

Guo Nuo didn't hesitate this time: "I hope you can give it to me." ”

I smiled a little coldly: "Why?"

"Because it's important to me. Guo Nuo's voice was still good, but at this time there was a lack of warmth.

I leaned my back on the sofa: "I remember that Lisa's lover is Pei Tianming, is it still ...... you?"

Guo Nuo probably didn't expect me to be so damaged, his eyes jumped: "No, of course not." ”

"Oh", I didn't move, intending to hear what Guo Nuo would tell me.

"In fact, the friend I see most often in W these days is Pei Tianming. ”

Rao was mentally prepared, and when I heard Guo Nuo say this, I immediately frowned and became angry.

Noticing the change in my mood, Guo Nuo immediately explained, "We are not real friends, just potential business partners. ”

I didn't speak, Guo Nuo looked at me and showed a trademark smile, I fell into the emotional black hole of ten years because I accidentally caught a glimpse of such a smile on the basketball court.

"Pei's enterprises have not made much achievements in the old industry in recent years, but they have some unexpected gains in other fields. One is the commercial land that was once hoarded in order to open a store, and the other is a group of salespeople who can go deep into towns and villages. But the two assets have long been spun off from the group by Mr. Pei, with commercial land being housed in a mobile subsidiary and the salaries of marketing staff being paid by another trading company. ”

"Now the de facto controller of these two subsidiaries is Lisa's distant Cayman Islands SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle). I answered.

I know what Guo Nuo said, because the people Pei Yanyan paid for were professional enough to pass on all the news to us before running away.

Guo Nuo looked at me, as if he didn't expect that I already had this information: "Yes, and Guo is very interested in these two assets. ”
