Chapter 628: Reminiscing about the past
Pei Tingyuan continued: "Mrs. Lambert is very satisfied with Qiaoqiao's idea. ”
Lu Xiwen tried to keep a smile on her face, but the slightly twitching corners of her mouth betrayed her heart.
"That's ...... That's great. She chuckled softly.
"yes. Pei Tingyuan smiled.
Lu Xiwen took a sip of red wine, alcohol played a very role in her body, she regained her spirits, looked at the floor-to-ceiling window not far away, standing in front of the window, she could clearly see the scenery outside.
On the rolling mountains, bright yellow and pale green blend together, like a splendid oil painting.
On the grass outside, the waiter is putting the finishing touches on the arrangement, wooden tables and chairs, clean white tablecloths, delicate and elegant European tableware, and clusters of flowers, making this autumn bright and vivid.
"You see, there's a cliff. She pointed to a place with a railing and said, "Standing on the edge of a cliff, you can see the river below." But...... I didn't dare go. ”
She was pleased to see that Pei Tingyuan's face changed slightly, and she tidied up her skirt.
The dress was somewhat similar to the one she had been wearing, and although her previous attempts had failed, she would not give up.
She asked Pei Tingyuan to think about their deepest bond.
She wanted Pei Tingyuan to know that he was still alive now, and it was all up to her.
Pei Tingyuan drank red wine, did not answer, glanced over the cliff, and did not look again.
Lu Xiwen is not discouraged, judging from the current situation, she has hope.
Soon, when it was time for lunch, the guests came to the grass one after another and took their seats according to the name plates.
Lu Xiwen had asked for it in advance, so she and Pei Tingyuan were at the same table and sat opposite each other.
She smiled at Pei Tingyuan and asked a woman beside him, "I'm sorry, I have a cliff phobia, can I switch places with you?"
The woman glanced at the tall and handsome Pei Tingyuan beside her, pursed her lips, and said, "Cliff phobia? ”
Lu Xiwen smiled embarrassedly, "Because something happened when I was a child, I feel a deep fear of the cliff, if I get too close and the time passes, I will be nervous, sweaty, and dizzy." ”
The woman was surprised and said, "Oh my God, that sounds terrible." ”
Lu Xiwen glanced at Pei Tingyuan quickly, his face was very flat, and he was slowly arranging the napkin in his hand.
She said: "Yes, yes, I specially asked the person who arranged the seat before, but I didn't expect that although it was a little far away, I still felt uncomfortable...... If you change to another table and sit down, it's all people you don't know......"
The woman looked at the man next to her again, remembering the scandal between these two people some time ago.
In public, two people are still so unsuspicious and want to sit together?
She suddenly had a bit of a desire to read gossip.
Lu Xiwen glanced at the railing next to her, folded her hands, and made a pleading gesture, "Please." ”
The woman smiled and nodded, "Then let's change." ”
Lu Xiwen glanced at Gu Yanxiang, who was watching the show with disdain, and sat beside Pei Tingyuan like a victorious general.
Pei Tingyuan didn't move, nor did he speak.
Lu Xiwen did not act rashly, and An An ate separately.
Today's birthday party was carefully arranged by Mr. Lambert for his wife, and the guests invited were all good friends in China, a total of thirty or thirty people, but the atmosphere was lively, joyful and warm.
When it came to blowing out the candles and cutting the cake, the guests on the left and right gathered around Mrs. Lambert and sang happy birthday songs in unison.
Lu Xiwen stood beside Pei Tingyuan, smiling and singing the birthday song, and when Mrs. Lambert blew out the candles in the song, and there was warm applause around her, she said to Pei Tingyuan: "I remember the first time we celebrated our birthday together when I was a child, and it was also such a scene, everyone sang happy birthday songs around us, and the atmosphere was very happy like this, but it's a pity that ......"
Halfway through her words, she didn't continue.
Because after that birthday party, she and Pei Tingyuan were kidnapped, and then those things happened.
Pei Tingyuan said: "Mrs. Lambert's birthday banquet, such a happy occasion, there are some things that don't need to be mentioned. ”
"I just sighed. Lu Xiwen said, feeling a little dry pain in her heart.
When it was time to cut the cake, Mrs. Lambert called, "Xihe, will you come and cut the cake with me?"
"Okay!" Lu Xiwen immediately replied with a smile, walked over, and stood with Mrs. Lambert.
Someone joked, "You should find another handsome gentleman to cut the cake with Mrs. Lambert." ”
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the echo of many people.
Among the young men present, the only ones who are handsome are Pei Tingyuan and Zhao Chuan.
But Zhao Chuan's girlfriend is also present today, and she is also the current person in charge of the Gu family, so ...... Everyone's eyes fell on Pei Tingyuan's body.
Lu Xiwen pursed her mouth, her cheeks were slightly hot, and her heart was full of anticipation.
Mr. Lambert waved his hand to Pei Tingyuan, "Come on, Mr. Pei." ”
Since it was Lambert who opened his mouth, Pei Tingyuan was embarrassed to refuse, and walked slowly to Mrs. Lambert's side.
"Come on, let's cut the cake together. Mrs. Lambert said with a smile.
Lu Xiwen shouted sweetly: "Brother Tingyuan." ”
Pei Tingyuan didn't respond, but looked at the dinner knife.
If they want to cut the cake together, it means that the hands of the three of them will be held together, and Lu Xiwen's hand has already covered the back of Mrs. Lambert's hand, and now there is only one waiting for him.
Pei Tingyuan smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.
Lu Xiwen felt her heart beat like a drum, nervously looking forward to their hands being held together.
"Brother Tingyuan......" she couldn't help but exclaim again.
Seeing that Pei Tingyuan's palm was about to be attached to the back of her hand, Lu Xiwen even held her breath nervously.
Just when she thought she was going to fit together, Pei Tingyuan suddenly stopped moving.
There was still a slight gap between the two hands, but Pei Tingyuan didn't move anymore.
"Brother Tingyuan?" Lu Xiwen shouted again.
Pei Tingyuan didn't look at her from afar.
Mrs. Lambert thought that Pei Tingyuan had already held it, so she took Lu Xiwen to cut the cake together, and Pei Tingyuan followed them, maintaining a formulaic smile on his face, not letting people notice the problem in his hand at all.
Lu Xiwen felt that her mentality had collapsed.
After a few symbolic cuts of the cake, the waiter cut the cake and distributed it to the guests.
Lu Xiwen did not return to her seat, but walked to the edge of the cliff step by step, looking at the mountains in the distance with her eyes.
