Another half an hour passed, and the car stopped in front of a small courtyard facing the lake.

Qiao Xihe looked through the glass and couldn't help but let out an amazing sigh.

In the courtyard with white walls and gray tiles, a delicate Chinese-style antique three-story small building is also a white wall, a gray single-eaves roof, and a large bamboo is planted on the side of the building, and the plant buildings reflect each other, making this quiet small courtyard simple and elegant.

"Let's go, Mrs. Pei. After she looked at it, Pei Tingyuan opened the door of the passenger seat.

Qiao Xihe got out of the car, dodged Pei Tingyuan's hand, and looked at the small courtyard, at this time he really hated why he didn't grow four pairs of eyes, and he could see this wonderful "paradise" at a glance.

"Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei," a young woman in a gray-blue cheongsam walked over with a standard smile, thoughtful but not too warm to make people uncomfortable and bored, "this way, please." ”

Qiao Xihe followed the gravel path, followed the young woman, and walked into the small building.

The small building is very quiet, if you don't know what is inside, you will definitely think that it is a wealthy nobleman who built a village here, and you will not think that this will be a restaurant.

Qiao Xihe walked into the door, and was faced with a lotus pond made of stone, in which lotus flowers and green leaves were swaying, small red koi fish were swimming around, and a layer of light smoke was wafting from the pool.

She followed the young woman across the small stone bridge over the lotus pond, feeling as if she was in a fairyland, looking around with a little excitement in reserve.

"Do you like it here?" Pei Tingyuan leaned over slightly and asked softly.

Qiao Xihe nodded, the classical Chinese layout here, every place reveals the owner's intentions, even if there are differences in everyone's preferences and aesthetics, but they still can't help but have a good impression of this place.

Pei Tingyuan said: "The dishes for a while will make you like them more." ”

Qiao Xihe glanced at the waiter in front of him, lowered his voice and asked, "You are so confident, are you sure I will like it?"

Pei Tingyuan smiled and said nothing.

Passing through the lotus pond, there are several private rooms, the doors are closed, and you can't see inside. The waiter gestured again and invited them upstairs.

Upstairs, there is a long corridor, and there are private rooms on both sides, and all the doors are closed, and the small wooden signs on the doors are all poetic and elegant names.

Soon, the waiter finally stopped at the door of a private room called "Chengyan" and pushed open the wooden door with a diamond-shaped lattice, "Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei, please." ”

Qiao Xihe was a little impatient, and as the door opened, he looked inside.

The private room is not large, facing the floor window, there is a wooden round table in the center, on which is a set of white porcelain tea sets, next to the wall are several antique furniture cabinets and a Bogu shelf, on which are placed all kinds of porcelain, and there are two rattan rocking chairs near the window, which looks very comfortable.

Pei Tingyuan pushed open the floor window, and what came into his eyes was the scenery of the backyard and the lake next to him.

Green trees, flowers and plants, and blue lakes make people feel relaxed and happy when they look at them.

Qiao Xihe walked over and took a deep breath, even his breath was fresh with the aroma of grass.

The waiter didn't know when, so she quietly took the door and left, leaving only Qiao Xihe and Pei Tingyuan in the private room.

Pei Tingyuan said lightly: "Do you want to drink tea?" The dish will be served in a while. ”

"No, no thirst. Qiao Xihe shook his head, and then continued to look out the window, the breeze blew on his cheeks, it was very comfortable, and even the summer heat dissipated.

Pei Tingyuan was quietly accompanying him.

It didn't take long for the knock on the door to sound, Pei Tingyuan answered, "Come in", the door was pushed open again, and several waiters came in with lacquer plates, putting exquisite dishes on the table.

After putting it away, the leading waiter's eyes turned around Pei Tingyuan's face, silently sighed in his heart about this man's handsomeness, and said sweetly: "Please use it slowly." After saying that, he took the others out with a little regret.

The door was just about to close, when a man passed by and glanced inside.

"Xihe?" the man shouted.

Qiao Xihe followed the prestige, and a hint of surprise flashed on his face, "Senior Gu?"

When Pei Tingyuan heard this, he narrowed his eyes, and the subtle changes on Qiao Xihe's face did not escape his eyes. He got up with Qiao Xihe, stopped her shoulder very familiarly, and silently announced his sovereignty to everyone present.

Gu Yanhang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This is President Pei of the P.L Group, right? ”

As he spoke, he held out a hand.

Pei Tingyuan looked at him indifferently and didn't shake hands with him.

Qiao Xihe felt a little embarrassed, and stabbed him twice with his elbow, "Hurry up......"

Pei Tingyuan shook hands with Gu Yanhang at this time, "Hello." ”

Hands clasped together, but in two seconds, Pei Tingyuan quickly let go, and grabbed Qiao Xihe's shoulders again, "My wife and I are going to eat, Mr. Gu should also be busy, right?"

Gu Yanhang's gaze wandered around Pei Tingyuan's hand on Qiao Xihe's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you." After speaking, he winked at Qiao Xihe.

Qiao Xihe understood what it meant, and nodded slightly.

Gu Yanhang left.

After the waiter goes out, close the door. The room was quiet again.

Pei Tingyuan pressed Qiao Xihe's shoulder, let her sit on the chair at the table, and sat down beside her, "In the future, I will have less contact with this person surnamed Gu." ”

"......" Qiao Xihe looked puzzled, what kind of neuropathy did this man have again, "Senior Gu is my college classmate, we have participated in many club activities together, we have known each other for several years, and we have always been very good classmates and friends. ”

She deliberately accentuated the words "classmates and friends", in order to make Pei Tingyuan not think nonsense.

"We only got in touch a few days ago...... she paused, and simply said: "That day, Miss Lu went to the hospital, and you asked me to rush over, I couldn't get a car, and I met a bad guy, and it was Senior Gu who happened to pass by who saved me." ”

"Coincidentally?"

“…… Pei Tingyuan, can you not be so suspicious?" Qiao Xihe was a little angry, "It's the twenty-first century now, you don't have the right to restrict me from interacting with anyone!

Pei Tingyuan looked at her meaningfully and said, "I only refer to Gu Yanhang. ”

"......" Qiao Xihe pondered speechlessly, and found a question - could it be that Pei Tingyuan is ...... Jealous?
