Chapter 110: The Ghost Lingers (Thanks to @Susu SSSS Diamond)
It was getting dark, Xiang Yuyao's tall figure was leaning against the car window, smoking a cigarette in his slender fingers, the smoke was filled, he was covered with loneliness, seeing Pei Shuyi walking out, Xiang Yuyao snuffed out the cigarette and stepped forward a few steps, "Shuyi." β
He didn't see Pei Tingqing, pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, "Are you going home now?" Take my car and we'll be together. β
After all, Xiang Yuyao didn't do anything to hurt her, Pei Shuyi didn't regard Xiang Yuyao as an enemy, and had the same indifferent attitude as before, "No need, I don't live in that apartment anymore." β
Xiang Yuyao was a little surprised, and quickly regained his composure, "So that's the case." It's no wonder that he knocked on the door several times, but no one answered, which made Xiang Yuyao feel better.
It's just that Pei Shuyi's cold attitude towards him made him feel that Pei Shuyi began to hate him, and Xiang Yuyao's chest suddenly blocked.
Originally, he was supposed to maintain his self-esteem and arrogance, stay away from a woman who didn't love him, and no longer entangle, but he couldn't control his liking for Pei Shuyi at all, so he habitually waited here after work.
Xiang Yuyao's fingers clenched little by little, stepped forward and looked down at Pei Shuyi, who was only up to his shoulder, he moved his thin lips, like a fire burning in his throat, Xiang Yuyao said with difficulty, "Is it true that your comic manuscript is no longer submitted to Qingzhu Society?" I want you to think about it, it's not like you can be appreciated everywhere you go. β
Xiang Yuyao's words seem to be that she has been relying on him as a neighbor, and she has gone through a lot of back doors, without Qingzhu Society, she can't develop? Pei Shuyi was young in the end, raised her chin slightly, and pulled out a beautiful but arrogant arc to her neck, she stubbornly said to Xiang Yuyao: "I believe that gold will always shine." β
"But there are also opportunities." Xiang Yuyao frowned and said, only to see Pei Shuyi's expression coldly resistant, as if she was very impatient to argue with him.
His next words were suddenly speechless, and it took him a long time before he nodded again, "I understand." Xiang Yuyao's amber eyes stared deeply at Pei Shuyi, where there was a look of pain.
Thinking of Ning Lianmeng's statement that Pei Tingqing and Pei Shuyi were cousins who were related by blood, his eyes were filled with a touch of complexity, and he asked with some irony: "Is it because of your so-called fiancΓ©?" β
"Yes."
The resolute word "............" left Xiang Yuyao speechless.
He felt that he was cheap enough, just to help Pei Shuyi become famous, he planned for such a long time.
Of course, this is his responsibility as an editor, but if he is really just her editor, he will not be able to do it to this extent.
He always thought that he had a clear distinction between public and private, in fact, he had abused his private power a long time ago, and his friend reminded him for this reason, and the result was that Pei Shuyi, the client, did not appreciate it at all, when did he Xiang Yuyao ever be so despicable?
Even if the woman betrayed him, he didn't try to keep it, even if it hurt, he pretended to let go freely, Pei Shuyi was the first person to let him lower his posture.
Xiang Yuyao's chest burst with a fire of anger, burning and making him very impulsive, he suddenly grabbed Pei Shuyi's arm and cried out through gritted teeth, "Pei Shuyi." β
Xiang Yuyao wanted to say something, but at this time, Ning Lianmeng's happy voice came from behind Pei Shuyi, "Tingqing, are you here?" β
Pei Shuyi's body trembled when she heard this, and she subconsciously shook off Xiang Yuyao's hand and looked behind Xiang Yuyao's car.
Pei Tingqing's car stopped there at some point, and at this moment, Ning Lianmeng directly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, a few steps away Pei Shuyi heard it very clearly, and asked Pei Tingqing to send her.
Pei Shuyi stood there and clenched her fingers.
Ning Lianmeng is too ghostly, is it because he wants to find an opportunity to seduce Pei Tingqing, so he follows her all the time?
"Where did you move to? I'll send you back. Seeing this situation, Xiang Yuyao felt that Pei Shuyi was in a very embarrassing situation, so he said at the right time, turned around and opened the car door for Pei Shuyi.
Pei Shuyi was suddenly very angry in her heart, Pei Tingqing used some extreme means to deal with the friends around her, as well as Sen You, the person who had a crush on her, and he, Pei Tingqing, did not solve Ning Lianmeng's biggest trouble.
Pei Shuyi bit her lip and withdrew her gaze from Pei Tingqing's car, she bent down and was about to sit in Xiang Yuyao's car, when she heard a "bang" sound from behind.
After Pei Tingqing threw the car door, he stepped forward in a few big steps, grabbed Pei Shuyi's arm without saying anything, pulled her aside, and then he clenched his fist and slammed it into Xiang Yuyao's face.
Xiang Yuyao was caught off guard by the punch, his back slammed into the car window, and the blood on his lips suddenly came out.
Pei Shuyi was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly went to pull Pei Tingqing's arm, "Big brother." β
As far as Pei Tingqing's too domineering temperament is concerned, she is sure that Pei Tingqing is going to abolish the hand that Xiang Yuyao pulled her just now, but she really doesn't want to see this result.
And in the back, Ning Lianmeng sat in the car, watching this scene with interest, there are also boys fighting for her on weekdays, she likes it very much, which gives her a great sense of achievement and conquest, not to mention that Pei Tingqing looks and has good skills, not to mention how handsome he is when he fights.
On the other hand, she felt that even if Xiang Yuyao didn't cooperate with her to break up Pei Tingqing and Pei Shuyi, Xiang Yuyao's love enemy would be a big threat to Pei Tingqing.
Pei Tingqing ignored Pei Shuyi, his chest was on fire, and he had long wanted to abolish Xiang Yuyao, the rival who had repeatedly entangled Pei Shuyi.
Pei Shuyi couldn't persuade Pei Tingqing when she saw it, and Xiang Yuyao was about to make a move at this time, she didn't say anything, turned around and walked forward.
Seeing this, Pei Tingqing withdrew his hand again, and said to Xiang Yuyao expressionlessly, "My woman, you'd better not provoke." β
Xiang Yuyao wiped the blood on his lips, and didn't want to conflict with Pei Tingqing, so he opened the car door and sat down, turned around and left.
In this way, a good show ended, and Ning Lianmeng suddenly felt bored, but her purpose was achieved, so she went down to the other side and drove Pei Tingqing's car away.
And Pei Tingqing followed Pei Shuyi in a few steps, stretched out his hand and hugged Pei Shuyi's shoulder, and explained in a low voice: "I just told Ning Lianmeng that she wants to take that car, so I will give it to her." Saying that, Pei Tingqing stopped and stared down at Pei Shuyi, "Don't misunderstand me, I really have nothing to do with Ning Lianmeng." β
Pei Shuyi's body stiffened when she heard this, a sneer appeared on her lips, and she raised her head from Pei Tingqing's chest, under the not very bright light, her eyes only fell to Pei Tingqing's smooth chin, Pei Shuyi's heart was sour, and she asked sarcastically: "Is it really irrelevant?" Then you explain to me what Ning Lianmeng is relying on, and he will haunt you all the time. β
Pei Tingqing listened to Pei Shuyi's questioning tone, the palm he held on Pei Shuyi's shoulder tightened suddenly, his lips tightened into a resolute arc, and after a few seconds, Pei Tingqing hesitated to speak, "Some time ago, Pei Zongyou and Huo Huiyuan mentioned Ning Lianmeng to me, and they intended to let me get engaged to Ning Lianmeng. β
Pei Shuyi guessed such a result, and knew that Pei Tingqing didn't tell her because she didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, but after hearing this, Pei Shuyi's heart twitched fiercely, her eyes suddenly had hot flashes, and she quickly lowered her head, she bit her lip hard, and didn't answer.
No matter what, Pei Zongyou and Huo Huiyuan will interfere in Pei Tingqing's marriage and choose the eldest and youngest grandmother for the Pei family's chaebol without authorization, and this person is possible, but it will not be her Pei Shuyi, her cousin.
This is the biggest problem between her and Pei Tingqing, and there is no solution.
"Shuyi." Pei Tingqing raised his hand and twisted Pei Shuyi's chin, seeing that her clear pupils were filled with crystals, flickering and crumbling under the street lamp, Pei Tingqing's heart hurt as if it was cut by a knife, and his low voice was slightly hoarse, "In the past two years that you don't know, Pei Zongyou did choose a few rich daughters for me, but the result was that I either let people ruin the other party, or start in the business field and make the other party bankrupt." β
"Anyway, I didn't get engaged to any woman in the end. It is rumored that the eldest son of the Pei family's chaebol, Ke's wife, is a celebrity in the entire T City, and few of them dare to marry me, and Ning Lianmeng is the one who is not afraid of death. When Pei Tingqing said these cruel things, he still spoke in a calm tone, and he didn't feel how innocent those celebrities and ladies who were persecuted by him were, he just knew that he had to get rid of everything that hindered him from being with Pei Shuyi.
He loves Pei Shuyi, and he wants Pei Shuyi to be his wife too much, and he has a real home with Pei Shuyi, so no matter how many extremely vicious means he uses, he can't give marriage to other women and live up to Pei Shuyi.
Pei Tingqing's palm stroked the back of Pei Shuyi's neck, taking advantage of the situation to take Pei Shuyi into his arms, his chin resting on the top of Pei Shuyi's head, rubbing lovingly, "For Ning Lianmeng, I hope you can give me a little time." β
Pei Zongyou knew that the first few fiancΓ©e candidates were all destroyed by him, so his precautions against him became deeper and deeper, and he could no longer use the identity of the eldest son of the Pei family's chaebol, relying on the forces he had cultivated in secret.
He came here before Christmas, but Pei Zongyou's men followed, and when he killed them, he was shot, and then he transferred Pei Zongyou's men to his own, and let his people pretend to report to Pei Zongyou that he was still staying on the South African side.
However, Pei Zongyou was still suspicious in the end, and did not hesitate to rush to South Africa in person, when he was on the stage, he received a call from his subordinates, and he didn't have time to reunite with Pei Shuyi, so he flew back to South Africa with an injury without stopping.
After that, Pei Zongyou left, and he only came back on New Year's Day, and Pei Zongyou certainly didn't have so much time to keep an eye on him personally, so he was now in Japan, and there would be no more mistakes.
On the other hand, with the lessons of the previous few celebrities, Ning Lianmeng protected herself very well, and someone followed her in secret wherever she went, resulting in Pei Tingqing's people not being able to easily attack Ning Lianmeng, he had to wait for the opportunity to destroy Ning Lianmeng.
After Pei Shuyi heard this, tears flowed out of her eyes, and she knew how much Pei Tingqing had done behind her back in order to be with her.
So according to the time, she caught a cold on the night before Christmas, and Pei Tingqing did come to hold her and cover her with a quilt, right? It was not a dream, and when I thought about it carefully, the cold medicine in the medicine box at home was also prepared by Pei Tingqing that day.
Pei Shuyi didn't care if Pei Tingqing lost the car, Pei Tingqing also said that Ning Lianmeng had sat on it, he was dirty, so he simply gave Ning Lianmeng.
Pei Shuyi stroked Pei Tingqing's face, and she choked up with tears and said, "I don't question your feelings for me, so please give me a little confidence too, okay?" As for your so-called rival in love, I will solve it myself. After all, it's not one or two boys who like me, how much manpower and energy do you have to waste if you want to attack them? β
She doesn't know what is going on with Sen You yet, but she doesn't want Pei Tingqing to attack Sen You, after all, Sen You had a good relationship with her in the past, and if she can, she still wants to be friends with Sen You.
"I ............" Pei Tingqing didn't distrust Pei Shuyi, it was purely that he couldn't tolerate those people provoking Pei Shuyi, especially Xiang Yuyao's actions against Pei Shuyi.
But in the face of Pei Shuyi's tearful eyes, like every time, Pei Tingqing still compromised, and solemnly responded to the next word, "Okay, let me see the scene just now, I won't abolish Xiang Yuyao, but I will strangle you." β
For such a domineering man, Pei Shuyi nodded helplessly, reached out to wrap her hand around Pei Tingqing's neck, she leaned over and kissed his lips, "Tingqing, you must believe me, I will only have you as a man in this life." β
Pei Tingqing heard Pei Shuyi's soft confession like this, and called his name so affectionately, his chest suddenly shook, and the fiery feelings in his heart gushed out, Pei Tingqing's palm clasped the back of Pei Shuyi's head, and kissed her violently.
***
A few days later, when Pei Shuyi saw the new teacher in the anatomy class, she knew that Pei Tingqing's job here turned out to be the teacher of her anatomy course in college, no wonder he often watched anatomy during that time two years ago, and he planned everything at that time, right?
He endured the pain of lovesickness for two years, in order to accompany her in the rest of her college years, Pei Shuyi almost cried in class.
And the moment Pei Tingqing appeared, the other girls were also boiling, after all, Pei Tingqing is young, his appearance and temperament are too outstanding, plus he can substitute in this famous university, it can be seen how good Pei Tingqing is, it is said that he was specially invited by the school.
Pei Shuyi saw that those girls' thoughts were all on Pei Tingqing's body, and she was very jealous in her heart, Pei Tingqing forbade her to dress revealing outside, and she also hoped that he would not show his face.
After a class, those girls immediately surrounded Pei Tingqing, first to contact the information, and then whether they had time to date, when the last teacher left, they didn't see them so affectionate.
Pei Shuyi couldn't listen to it, walked out of the noisy classroom alone, and met Sen You, who had not seen her for a few days, under the teaching building, Pei Shuyi was immediately relieved, but she was worried that Pei Tingqing would think too much, she didn't say hello to Sen You, and walked in the other direction to avoid Sen You.
And Sen You stood behind and looked at Pei Shuyi, who was deliberately avoiding him, he pursed his lips, his eyes were complicated, revealing a little ridicule.
