Chapter 11: The Engagement (4)
Peng Zhan didn't understand what she meant for a while, listening to her words, it seemed to be serious, pondering her tone, and it seemed that she was playing with herself.
He swallowed and couldn't help asking, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Really, what did I lie to you. Tao Qirui smiled, she made up her mind that he wouldn't do anything to herself, she made this move unexpectedly to attack him unprepared, and then play a good trick on him, maybe he would give up gnawing on his hard bone.
"Okay. Peng Zhan quickly saw through her little trick, he got up and sat down next to Tao Qirui, stuck to her, stretched out a hand to hold her face, and was about to lean in and kiss her.
"Oops, hey!" Tao Qirui was in a hurry, she hurriedly pushed him away, and said angrily,
"What are you doing!"
"Do what couples should do. Peng Yan looked at her innocently and bent his eyes mischievously.
"I'm kidding, you go away. Tao Qirui pushed him resistantly, frowned and said.
"That's not good, the words have been spoken, how can there be any reason to take it back. Peng was a villain and quickly kissed her on the cheek.
Tao Qirui's face flushed, she looked more and more annoyed, and raised her hand to pinch Peng Yan's arm hard.
Peng Jian screamed, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the cafΓ©. He covered his arm in pain and cried out with a bitter face, "Why are you pinching people?"
"Go back. Tao Qirui raised her chin at him towards the seat opposite. Peng Yan reluctantly stood up and obediently sat back in his place.
"You're a thick-skinned person. Tao Qirui said,
"You said you used this little bit of your skills in business, how happy your father must be. Peng Zhan looked at her unhappily,
"What do you mean by that, even if I don't use this skill in business, I will run my company well. Hey, I said, you always mention my dad, you don't have any thoughts about my dad, the diamond king, right?" he clapped his hands vigorously as he spoke, and suddenly said,
"No wonder you don't promise me, you want to be my stepmother's rhythm!"
"Shut up, you!" Tao Qirui was so angry that she almost spilled the drink in front of her in his face, she didn't want to talk to him anymore, and got up to leave.
Peng Jian hurriedly grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Just kidding, why are you angry." β
"Are you kidding like that?" Tao Qirui looked at him angrily,
"How can you say that about your father? Is it easy for your father to raise you with all your hard work? If you say this about your father now, you will regret dying when your father is gone. β
"Got it, got it. Peng Yan pulled her back to her seat, obviously not listening to her. In fact, he didn't understand this truth, when his mother died that year, he also cried to death.
It's just that he is a cynical person by nature, and the words that come out of his mouth are never serious, but in filial piety, he is blameless to others.
Tao Qirui reluctantly sat down and looked out the window angrily.
"Don't be angry, you know I'm a person, I just love to play tricks. Peng Bing smiled and pushed the cake in front of him closer to Tao Qirui.
Tao Qirui snorted and said, "I'm going back, I still have something to do tomorrow." β
"What are you busy with tomorrow?" asked Peng Zhan,
"I asked your colleague, didn't you take two days off, why are you going tomorrow?"
"Which colleague said that?" Tao Qirui raised her ass and sat down again.
"Not really. Peng Jian hurriedly smiled,
"It's just that he said it so casually, and I listened so casually. Tao Qirui stood up again and turned to leave.
"What are you going to do tomorrow?" Peng Zhan hurriedly followed her footsteps,
"I'll be with you. β
"It has nothing to do with you, you are idle when you go. β
"It's okay, just stay with you. Tao Qirui turned her head to look at him, with a hesitant expression on her face.
She thought about it for a while, the last time she was in front of Lin Yansheng, she said that Peng Zhan was her boyfriend, and this was to give herself a faΓ§ade in front of Lin Yansheng.
If she took Peng Jian to their engagement banquet this time, she might be able to show off in front of Lin Yansheng and those high school classmates.
Thinking of this, Tao Qirui suddenly smiled, that smile was sarcastic, and bitter, in Mu Yi's heart, he might be like a talking robot, maybe he wouldn't take it to heart at all, what's the use of her thinking so much?
Tao Qirui bit her lip and said, "Okay." β
"Then tell me, what are you going to do tomorrow?" asked Peng Zhan.
"Attend a classmate's engagement party. Tao Qirui exhaled,
"Over there in District XX. β
"It's so close to my house. Peng Peng touched his chin and said with a smile,
"What time are you going to leave tomorrow? I'll pick you up early." Tao Qirui said a time, and the two agreed.
Peng Peng sent her downstairs, and saw her go upstairs before he turned around and left. Tao Qirui stood in the corridor, looking at his figure through the glass, thinking how good it would be if his performance was sincere to him.
But this thought was immediately impacted by the thought of seeing Mu Yi the next day, and her mood became chaotic and nervous again, and she hardly slept all night.
Early the next morning, she got up and made up in front of the mirror, and she was not satisfied with any of the things she did. Before the clothes were changed, Peng Zhan's phone call came in, and Tao Qirui suddenly felt that the whole world was noisy, and her heart became more and more chaotic.
"Hey, you wait for me, I'll change my clothes right away!" she picked up the phone and said quickly, took off her pajamas, changed into the skirt that Lin Yansheng gave her, picked up a coat from the hanger and put it on, and staggered downstairs.
"You won't just get up now, will you?" Peng Peng looked at her curiously, seeing that she was dressed in a mess, he himself was clean and bright, his hair was carefully combed, and he looked very energetic.
"I've been up for a long time. Tao Qirui buttoned her coat and said a little embarrassed.
"Messy hair. Peng Peng raised his hand to help her fix her hair, and when he reached out to take her hand, he was dodged by Tao Qirui.
She looked at him and warned, "Today is just for you to pretend to be my boyfriend." β
"Pretend to be a little more real, you don't let me hold hands, how can you pretend?" said Peng Zhan's hand again.
"You think I'm stupid? I haven't arrived yet, what are you pretending to be now?" Tao Qirui dodged his hand and walked forward first.
Peng Jian hurriedly followed her footsteps and said, "You really don't let me take advantage of it at all." β
"Do you have to take advantage of that?" Tao Qirui was only wearing a thin pair of tights, and the cold wind blew, and she shivered.
Peng Peng pulled the car door and let her sit in, the car door was separated from the cold wind, and she felt a little warmer.
Peng Zhan's driving skills are the same as his life, rushing left and right, without any rules. Only where there is a camera does he converge a little.
After taking the car he drove, Tao Qirui only felt that she had lost ten years of life, and she only experienced the feeling of fright in the whole process.
Finally reaching her destination, she jumped out of the car as if liberated, and took a deep breath of fresh air outside.
"It's okay, it's okay, nothing happened. She patted her chest and turned to walk in the direction of the elevator.
"What are you talking about, my driving skills are very good, fast and strong!" Peng Peng chased after him and took her hand naturally.
This time, Tao Qirui didn't break free, maybe her mind was all about to meet Mu Yi, and she didn't have the energy to deal with Peng Zhan.
"Your classmate is a big sum, so you can hold an engagement banquet and choose such a high-end place. After getting out of the elevator, Peng Jian looked at the hall and couldn't help but sigh.
"Aren't you too? Tao Qirui said absent-mindedly.
"You yourself said that I am the second generation of nouveau riche, where have I seen this battle. Peng Yan said half-mockingly, he took Tao Qirui's hand and walked inside, he didn't know a few people here, just followed Tao Qirui's footsteps.
Suddenly, she stopped, and the hand in his palm suddenly became stiff. Peng Zhan felt puzzled, and followed her gaze to look forward, and he was suddenly stunned at this look.
I saw that not far from them, there was a pair of talented and beautiful women, the man was tall and handsome, and the woman was gentle and beautiful, which was the girl he saw that day.
"She's not that, Lin Yansheng?" Peng Peng pointed at Lin Yansheng and turned around and asked. Tao Qirui didn't answer, just stared at Mu Yi blankly.
I haven't seen him for so long, he has changed, and he no longer has the childishness of his classmates between his eyebrows, but has matured a lot.
I saw him holding Lin Yansheng's hand tightly, no matter where he went, his eyes were fixed on her, and his eyes were full of pampering and happiness.
Tao Qirui had thought that maybe after so many years, their relationship would become weaker, but at this time, it seemed that Mu Yi's enthusiasm was the same as when they were not together, and he still loved Lin Yansheng so much and cared about her.
Before Tao Qirui could react, Lin Yansheng had already seen them with sharp eyes. She hurriedly walked towards them and smiled at Tao Qirui, "Are you here?" Tao Qirui came back to her senses, she quickly glanced at Mu Yi, and saw that the latter smiled at her slightly, those eyes were as bright as stars, which made her heart move fiercely.
"Hmm. She nodded, and couldn't help but clench Peng Zhan's hand. Peng Jian naturally felt it, he looked down at Tao Qirui, then at Mu Yi, and smiled understandingly.
"This is Qirui's boyfriend. Lin Yansheng pointed at Peng Zhan and said,
"Your name?"
"Peng Zhan. Peng Jian hurriedly smiled, if it weren't for Mu Yi's presence, his gaze would have been more unscrupulous.
Seeing Lin Yansheng this time, he felt that she looked much better than last time, maybe it was the reason for that dress, but no matter what, the kind of temperament she exuded was something he had never seen in others, and under her comparison, everyone around her was overshadowed and turned into green leaves that set off her.
Mu Yi smiled when he heard the name, he shook hands with Peng Zhan and said, "The name has a personality." β
"My dad got up and said that I could live a life like a war, and I could live a better life. Peng Jian smiled, and quickly glanced at Lin Yansheng again,
"I didn't expect you to get engaged today, and I knew I had prepared a little bit of a gift. β
"Huh?" Mu Yi looked at him suspiciously,
"Do you know me?"
"Nope. Peng Jian smiled elegantly,
"But I had a relationship with Miss Lin. He showed his housekeeping skills again, and it was the best way to use this trick to exude his charm.
Mu Yi's eyes dimmed, and he looked at Lin Yansheng with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. Lin Yansheng didn't notice it, she smiled: "The last time I had dinner with Qirui, when he came to pick up Qirui, I met it once. She smiled at Tao Qirui, but Tao Qirui kept hanging her head and couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Mu Yi suddenly, he pointed to the table next to him and said with a smile: "You guys sit down first, and eat something casually." After speaking, he took Lin Yansheng's hand and walked to the other side.
Peng Zhan looked at their figures and couldn't help laughing: "Your classmate's fiancΓ© is quite jealous." He looked down at Tao Qirui, and saw that the latter's face was red and white, his eyes were glued to Mu Yi, and he was reluctant to leave.
"So you like him. Peng sat down, took a sip of orange juice, and said with a smile. Tao Qirui also sat down, she exhaled, and seemed to return to the time when she was shy in high school.
She didn't care about Peng Peng's words, and she didn't answer. Peng Zhanzheng was bored and wanted to tease Tao Qirui, a figure flashed beside Leng Buding, and a boy sat down next to him.
He glanced at the man in surprise and felt strange, only to see that the man exuded an aura of being unapproachable, his face was cold, and the gaze that looked at him was very compelling.
"Are you?" Peng Zhan was very unhappy with this gaze, feeling as if he had been violated. The man approached him, lowered his voice and said, "I advise you to take care of your eyes and not to wander around my sister all the time." Peng Zhan suddenly realized that this was Lin Yansheng's younger brother, no wonder he felt that the two of them looked a little alike.
He didn't mind laughing and said, "Your sister is so good-looking, wouldn't it be a waste not to let people look at it?" Lin Yanhuan sneered, leaned back in the chair, looked at him with interest, and said, "Okay, look." Peng Zhan suddenly paused, Lin Yanhuan's gaze pierced him, and he turned his head to Tao Qirui and said, "Let's change the table." Tao Qirui finally heard him speak, she turned her head to look at him suspiciously, and asked, "Why?"
"There was a turtle sitting next to me, and I had no appetite. As he spoke, Peng Jian glanced at Lin Yanhuan quickly.
Tao Qirui crossed his shoulder, and when she saw Lin Yanhuan, who was looking at them coldly, she also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Her careful thoughts, thinking that she hid it well, were actually seen by others, especially Lin Yanhuan.
When they were talking, he had been watching coldly, and Lin Yanhuan had a faint idea of the relationship between them.
It's nothing more than love and can't show that he is doing well, I don't know where to drag a yellow-haired boy, and this kid is very rude, those eyes turned on Lin Yansheng more than a dozen times, and the more Lin Yanhuan looked at him, the more annoyed he felt.
"Okay. Tao Qirui said that she was going to stand up, Peng Zhan hurriedly moved with her, Leng Buding's arm was dragged, he turned around in surprise, and saw that Lin Yanhuan was still sitting upright, squinting at him, and said loudly: "Sit down." β
"You let go of me!" Peng Wei was really a little angry at this time, he frowned and scolded.
"What, you're still causing trouble at my sister's engagement party?"
"Who is causing trouble?" Peng Yan struggled hard, but how could he have Lin Yanhuan's strength,
"You let go of me, you turtle!"
"You look like this, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and hidden troubles, who knows if you will cause trouble later. Lin Yanhuan's hand tightened, and Peng Jian, who was pinching, almost screamed out in pain.
"You're going too far!" Peng Zhan turned his head to Tao Qirui and shouted,
"Qirui, come here, I'm going to be pinched to death. β
"Lin Yanhuan. Tao Qirui said in a low voice, and the compelling momentum on Lin Yanhuan's body also made her dare not look at him head-on.
"He's my boyfriend, he's coming to the wedding banquet with me, let him go. Lin Yanhuan let go and smiled, but there was no warmth in that smile.
"Okay. As soon as he let go, Peng jumped next to Tao Qirui. Tao Qirui glanced at him quickly and turned to leave.
Lin Yanhuan snorted coldly, turned his gaze back to Peng Zhan, and said, "If you really want to have a relationship with him, I advise you to be cautious." β
"It's none of your business. Peng said, glaring at him fiercely. Lin Yanhuan looked him up and down again, but this time he didn't speak, smiled, and got up to leave.
Peng Bing looked at his back in wonder, turned his head and said to Tao Qirui: "What kind of classmate are you, it's messy, like a nervous disorder." Tao Qirui didn't belong to her thoughts, and said sullenly: "Their family is like this." β
"So, do you like that Mu Yi?" Peng Zhan's interest came up again, he looked at Tao Qirui, sat down with a smile, and looked at Mu Yi who was talking to someone in the distance,
"He's good-looking, he looks like a good man, but compared to meβ" He straightened his bow tie and said proudly,
"It's not even close. Tao Qirui glanced at him, sat down next to him, and said, "He's so much better than you that I don't know where." Peng Yan looked at her unhappily and said, "No matter how good it is, it's someone else's man now." Tao Qirui gave him a look, and Peng Jian immediately closed his mouth in amusement.
She said, "Be honest with me, or I'll go back right away." β
"It's all here, can I still listen to you and leave right away?" Peng Zhan said exaggeratedly, pointing to Lin Yansheng in the distance, and said,
"But your classmate is quite good, and it fits my aesthetics. Tao Qirui pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.
"It's a pity that we're engaged, but that's okay. Peng Zhan smiled, smug, his index finger kept tapping on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
