Tang smiled "ah" and looked at Pei Yuansheng: "...... How do you know?"

"Of course I do. Pei Yuansheng blinked: "I forgot again? I understand women." ”

Tang Xiao had nothing to say.

Pei Yuansheng stretched out his fingers as long as jade, and nodded the tip of Tang Xiao's nose opposite very lightly and quickly: "Take advantage of your happiness and don't be snatched away by others." You know what?"

Tang Xiao said thoughtfully: "If you can snatch it away casually, then it can't be regarded as my happiness, right?"

Pei Yuansheng shook his head and said noncommittally: "Happiness is like a handful of sand, it can easily slip away." ”

Tang smiled and said, "You seem to be even more pessimistic than me." ”

Pei Yuansheng lowered his eyes and chuckled: "No, I'm just worried about you." ”

"Pei Yuansheng, thank you. ”

"Didn't you say thank you to me?"

"Hmm...... That, when I just didn't say anything. Tang Xiao looked at Pei Yuansheng: "It's good if you're a woman." ”

Pei Yuansheng laughed and said: "Fortunately, I'm not a woman." ”

"You know what I'm thinking again?"

Pei Yuansheng stretched out his hand and poked Tang Xiao's forehead: "You have this bit of intelligence, I don't know what you think? ”

"Okay then......" Tang Xiao said helplessly, "Then I'll go find someone else." ”

"Looking for whom?"

"Find it and talk about it. ”

“……”

"Pei Yuansheng, why do you sing that song?" Tang Xiao suddenly remembered and asked.

"Isn't it normal for a flirtatious girl like me to sing a few English songs?" Pei Yuansheng said, "If you like, I can also sing French songs and German songs to you while playing the piano." ”

"Poof......" Tang smiled and said, "You are quite accurate in your positioning." ”

"Of course. ”

"But you're pretty good. Tang Xiao sighed.

"It's nothing great, everyone grew up like this. Pei Yuansheng seemed to think of something interesting, and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you that your family Chenglie can also play the flute, oh, probably also saxophone." ”

Tang Xiao was stunned: "...... Wouldn't it?"

She couldn't imagine the way a man played the flute or played the saxophone.

It's so weird......

It's as bizarre as letting her imagine Pei Yuansheng wearing a white vest to move bricks.

"You can try to tell him that you think the man who plays the flute is handsome and stylish, and that guy will definitely show his hand in front of you. Pei Yuansheng helped her come up with ideas.

Tang smiled and said silently, "Okay...... I'll try it when I get a chance. ”

"Come on," Pei Yuansheng then added: "Remember to take photos and share, speaking of which, the last time I saw Liezi playing the flute, it was ten years ago." ”

Tang Xiao said speechlessly: "Actually, the person who wants to see him embarrassed is you......"

Pei Yuansheng said seriously: "Xiaoxiao, what you said is not right, then how can you want to see him embarrassed? Obviously I want your husband to show his talent in front of you and show his personal charm." ”

Tang Xiao was speechless.

was interrupted by Pei Yuansheng like this, Tang Xiao forgot what he originally wanted to say.

On the dance floor, men in suits and leather shoes danced with graceful women. In the dim light, the melody played by the band easily brought people into their own thoughts.

"Miss Tang, is my performance dissatisfying to you?" a slightly strange voice sounded in his ears.

Tang smiled for a moment, and said apologetically: "Mr. Owen, I'm sorry, I was distracted." ”

Thinking that this was the third time he had stepped on the other party's foot, Tang Xiao was embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter, it's a lady's prerogative to make mistakes. Mr. Owen blinked his gray-blue eyes and said, "And forgiveness is a gentleman's duty." ”

Tang smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

"No, no thanks. Mr. Owen chuckled, "It's an honor to dance with such a beautiful lady as Miss Tang." ”

Mr. Owen is an expatriate of Chinese descent who is about a quarter of Chinese ancestry, with black hair, attractive gray-blue eyes, and features as handsome as Greek statues.

However, Tang Xiaoping thinks that Mr. Owen, like his friend Pei Yuansheng, is a flirtatious girl.

I'm afraid that ordinary women can't resist a gentlemanly and handsome foreign man like Mr. Owen, right? Fortunately, Tang Xiao has obtained immunity to this kind of man from Pei Yuansheng.

Quietly looking for Pei Yuansheng on the dance floor, I saw that he was dancing with Miss Zhu Weiying not far away. In the soothing music, the figures of the two swayed gently with the dance steps, and Zhu Weiying put his arm around his shoulders and leaned into his ear, not knowing what he was saying.

Mr. Owen noticed Tang Xiao's gaze and said clearly: "Miss Tang, don't worry, Yuansheng will not be tempted by that Miss Zhu." After speaking, he blinked slightly, as if comforting Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao understood that he was misunderstood by Mr. Owen, thinking that he was eating Pei Yuansheng's vinegar, and quickly explained: "Mr. Owen, I'm just ......"

"Shhh......," said Mr. Owen slyly, "needless to explain, this is also a lady's prerogative." ”

Tang smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Owen, things are really not what you imagined, me and-"

Mr. Owen kindly interrupted her again: "I'm sorry, Miss Tang, I shouldn't be speculating, but I assure you that Yuansheng only invited that Miss Zhu to dance just to save face for today's host, the Zhu family." ”

As Pei's classmate when he was studying abroad for an MBA and now a business partner, Owen thinks it is necessary for him to help the other party stabilize the woman he loves.

Tang Xiao almost wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't know how to explain his relationship with Pei Yuansheng to this empathetic foreign friend.

Seeing that Tang Xiao stopped talking, Mr. Owen thought that he had successfully helped the two of them clear up the misunderstanding, and showed a pleasant smile: "Miss Tang, I assure you that my friend Yuansheng is a very good man, in the words of your Chinese, he is very reliable. It's true. ”

Tang Xiao regretted a little why he agreed to Owen's kind invitation just now, rather than being misunderstood, it would be better to sit and drink alone?

After a few dances, Tang Xiao and Mr. Owen quit the dance floor, and were looking for a chance to explain to Mr. Owen again, when they saw that everyone on the dance floor retreated unanimously, leaving only Pei Yuansheng and Zhu Weiying.

Tang Xiao doesn't feel good, what's the situation?

Being able to get a response from so many people can't be a temporary situation, it seems that this scene on the dance floor has been arranged for a long time.

So, is it Pei Yuansheng, or Zhu Weiying, or is it the rest of the Zhu family?

But in any case, at this moment, Zhu Weiying on the dance floor is happy, she has a pink face with spring, and the little bird is half-nestled on Pei Yuansheng, swinging her waist.

Pei Yuansheng's face was hidden in the dim light, making it difficult to see the expression, but the corners of his mouth always seemed to have a shallow curvature.

What the hell was he thinking?

Could it be that he really has an interest in this Miss Zhu family?

Tang Xiao fell into deep thought, and then realized that this was not a problem that he should consider.

As a friend, she should be happy for Pei Yuansheng. Miss Zhu Weiying has a prominent background and a gentle personality, if the Zhu family and the Pei family marry, it will be a strong combination of politics and business, which will benefit both families.

Whether it is Zhu Weiying or Pei Yuansheng, they have reached the age when they should get married and have children. The combination of these two people, I'm afraid that no one can find fault with it.

Tang Xiao took a sip of the red wine on the side, thinking to himself, when Pei Yuansheng came over later, I had to ask him what he meant, if he really planned to marry Zhu Weiying, then he should congratulate him in advance.

Although Pei Yuansheng was a little perfunctory to Zhu Weiying before, with his character, even if he chose marriage for the benefit of the family, it would not be an exaggeration, right? Tang Xiao didn't know why he thought so, he just felt that Pei Yuansheng knew anyone, but no one could understand him.

At this moment, as the focus of the audience, Pei Yuansheng and Zhu Weiying in the center of the dance floor naturally accepted the baptism of all kinds of eyes, as well as whispers from time to time.

However, unexpectedly, when this dance song was about to end, Zhu Weiying suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Pei Yuansheng on the lips.

Tang Xiao froze for an instant, and at this time, he saw Pei Yuansheng seem to have inadvertently gently turned his face to the side and looked towards the crowd next to the dance floor.

So, Zhu Weiying's kiss with courage fell on Pei Yuansheng's cheeks, which were as white as jade.

After everyone reacted, they applauded.

The voices of several women next to him came to Tang Xiao's ears.

"Wow, Wei Ying really can't be seen, this kind of thing can be done......"

"You say, does she really have the confidence to marry Pei Gongzi? If Pei Gongzi doesn't want her, this kind of thing will spread in the future, which person with a head and face will dare to marry her, but there are many elders here today, so many people are watching...... Tut. ”

"Maybe that's why she did this, right? Maybe she wants to use this to put pressure on Pei Gongzi. ”

"I don't think our Pei Dashao is like an overly sympathetic person......"

"What if Pei Gongzi, who has not touched a leaf in the midst of thousands of flowers, likes women to take the initiative? Then Zhu Weiying has made a lot of money this time......

"After all, Zhu Weiying is bolder than us, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hook up with Pei Gongzi. Seriously, if I can do it with Pei Gongzi once-"

"Hey, be quiet, don't be ashamed......"

There was a burst of laughter, and the women lowered their voices. It's just that from time to time, snickering chirps into Tang Xiao's ears.

She was a little uneasy, was the atmosphere in Chengbei so open? These upper-class women could openly discuss these issues.

Since she could hear it, Mr. Owen next to her must have heard it clearly.

However, as a foreigner, Mr. Owen should appreciate Zhu Weiying's behavior, right?

In fact, contrary to what Tang Xiao thought, Owen who was sitting next to him was quite embarrassed and incomprehensible at the moment, he didn't understand why Pei Yuansheng was unexplained and got involved with Zhu Weiying again.

He recently learned a new word that Chinese people like to use, called "slapping the face", and he was not able to grasp the essence of this word well, but now, he has made up a sentence in his heart without a teacher.

"This behavior of the two of them slapped me in the face hard. Mr. Owen said to himself silently, and then hatefully tore off the "reliable" label attached to Pei Yuansheng in his heart.

Pei Yuansheng and Zhu Weiying left the dance floor, exchanged a few words with the two elders of the Zhu family who were waiting on the dance floor, and then walked towards Tang Xiao and Owen.

"I'm sorry, I've been waiting. Pei Yuansheng said.

Tang Xiao shook his head and looked at Pei Yuansheng with complicated eyes: "...... you and Miss Zhu?"

Pei Yuansheng took a sip of a glass of red wine, raised the corners of his pale lips, and asked as if nothing had happened, "What's wrong?"

"What's the matter?" Mr. Owen on the side said angrily, "Yuansheng, I'm so disappointed in you tonight. How can you do that?"

"What's wrong with me?" Pei Yuansheng asked.

"You...... You have betrayed your lover!" said Mr. Owen with righteous indignation.

Tang Xiao: "......"

Pei Yuansheng glanced at Tang Xiao, stretched out a finger to his lips: "Shh, whisper Owen, I wonder if you have any misunderstanding......

"Misunderstanding?" Owen said angrily: "Everyone is watching, you and that Miss Zhu danced alone, and she kissed you, how could this be a misunderstanding?"

looked at Owen's appearance, as if he was the one who was angry because of Pei Yuansheng and Zhu Weiying, but Tang Xiao knew that this lovely foreign man was fighting for her. Unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to explain her identity to Mr. Owen.

"Owen, I hope you understand, I didn't do anything to be sorry for Miss Tang," Pei Yuansheng said unhurriedly: "Your urgency has not changed at all, don't talk yet, listen to me explain Owen, she is not my lover, she is my brother's woman." ”

Hearing this, Mr. Owen widened his already large gray-blue eyes.

"So you ...... Not a couple?" he looked left and right at Tang Xiao and Pei Yuansheng, struggling to digest this unbelievable fact.

The reason why he was particularly unacceptable to this matter was because his eyes, his feelings, clearly told him that his friend Pei Yuansheng loved the woman in front of him deeply.

He believed that his judgment was not wrong.

And this woman, he thinks she likes Yuansheng, but his friend tells him that this Miss Tang is someone else's lover, which is really incomprehensible.

Could it be that his feelings were wrong?

No...... He didn't believe it.

It's a really puzzling world. Or has the Chinese always been so complicated?

"We are certainly not a couple. Pei Yuansheng smiled and said, "It's a pity, right? But life is like this, there is no way." He looked like he was joking, but Mr. Owen's feelings told him he was upset.

Mr. Owen has always been a friend who talks about righteousness, and when he saw Pei Yuansheng like this, he instantly understood everything.

It's just a cliché love story, he loves her, but she loves another him. The other is even his good brother, so he can only choose to give up.
