Qi Ran changed into a casual black jumpsuit, a white shirt as a base, and a tweed coat on the outside. This kind of dress is not outstanding, but it can well reflect her tall figure and her cold temperament that is different from ordinary people.

Qi Ran walked into the agreed Starbucks, and the sound of high heels stepping on the marble was passionate and firm.

Qi Ran walked to the hidden position around the corner, and when he saw a familiar silhouette, when the sun shone on the seat, his heart gradually panicked from calm.

Pei Moyun turned her head and saw Qi Ran was radiant, her face was not the well-known loneliness, but the same look as she imagined.

When Qi Ran saw the face of the man in front of him clearly, he immediately retracted his trance and told himself that this was a coincidence.

"Miss Qi, please take a seat."

Qi Ran swept the man's body up and down with a pair of eyes before sitting down smoothly.

And when she saw the coffee on the table, her fingers subconsciously tightened, and in front of her was a cup of cappuccino at just the right temperature, next to a piece of blueberry cheesecake.

Qi Ran covered the thoughts in his eyes, picked up the coffee and tasted it, it was indeed a nostalgic taste. It's been a long time since she's had drunk a cappuccino, let alone two bags of sugar.

"It seems that people who are used to drinking caramel macchiato still don't feel bad when they drink their old favorites."

"No, it's too sweet, it's not my taste."

Qi Ran explained his point.

When he looked at the man opposite again, he was obviously elegant.

Both intuition and reason told her that this person was not simple, and the purpose of asking himself out today was definitely not simple, because he had deliberately imitated Gu Jingchen's dressing from the beginning.

And a cappuccino with two bags of sugar and a blueberry cheesecake is exactly what I liked five years ago.

Pei Moyun looked at the person in front of him, he didn't seem to see any sadness on his body, and what seemed to be left on his body was only self-confidence, not the domineering of his youth, let alone the depression he once had.

"My time is precious, since Mr. asked me out today, let's go straight to the topic, let's say, what price?"

"Miss Qi is not even allowed to ask my name, it is really surprising that she is so direct."

"Does your personal information have anything to do with my purpose?"

Qi Ran raised his eyebrows a little jokingly, and took the sovereignty back into his hands with a word.

Pei Moyun took a sip of coffee, and once again refreshed his understanding of Qi Ran in his heart.

"I don't know, what price can Miss Qi afford now? As far as I know, in August of this year, you only bought the fourth volume of "No. 77" in Toronto for 1.3 million yuan, and you are still a design director, can your little annual salary still allow you to buy another volume of "No. 77"? ”

Qi Ran smiled slightly, the conversation between them at this time was more like a negotiation between businessmen.

In addition, whether to cooperate or not in the end is inevitable, but this process determines the interests of the outcome.

"I don't think that's what you're worried about, make an offer."

"Qi Ran, you are still so arrogant."

Qi Ran's body stiffened, only for a second, raised his eyebrows and looked at the man opposite, with inquiry, he said "or"? She had only heard one person say the same thing.

"Tell me, what the hell do you want to do?" Qi Ran, who habitually wants to grasp sovereignty, still maintains a consistent and resolute style.

Pei Moyun took out the box on the side, opened the lid, and could see that it contained a painting.

With just one glance, Qi Ran knew that this was the subject of their meeting today.

"Miss Qi, you know and love this work so well, you must know that the fourth volume is the most worthless volume."

Qi Ran didn't know when the man opposite met her, she didn't have any familiarity with him, but from his words, she could be sure that he must know her very well. Learn about number 77.

Pei Moyun handed over his business card.

The designer of the business card has a black shading, a simple and generous style, and only a name and phone number are written on it, and there is no more information.

"To tell you the truth, I still have a volume of "No. 77" in my hand, but I don't know if the two volumes of works can be exchanged for the first volume."

Qi Ran got up and was about to leave. The bottom of his eyes was full of ridicule of the other party.

"Qi Ran, I know that you are the heroine of "No. 77", and there is a complete portrait of you in the first volume, right?"

Qi Ran's eyes were horizontal, and he looked at Pei Moyun inquiringly, with full hostility, "No matter what Mr. Pei's purpose is, I just want to say to Mr. Pei, don't fight the idea of the first volume of "No. 77". ”

Although Qi Ran wants to collect the complete "No. 77". But it doesn't mean that she has to pay attention to some people with bad intentions.

"Qi Ran, I think you misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?"

Over the years, Qi Ran's movements have attracted the attention of some industry insiders, and those who want to use "No. 77" to get ill-gotten gains have wanted to get a full set of "No. 77" through her more than once. And Pei Moyun, who took the initiative to come to the door today, was classified as this type of person by himself.

Qi Ran looked at Pei Moyun coldly, "If Mr. Pei sincerely wants to transfer the painting in his hand, then we will have a discussion, but I only have money to exchange with you, and the rest is not to be discussed." ”

Qi Ran stepped on high heels and left without a trace of hesitation.

In fact, she was gambling, betting that Pei Moyun would contact her again, because she was confident that a person who had bad intentions from the beginning would not easily give up her purpose, and now she had to deal with him even if she knew that the person who came was not good, as long as she had to deal with him, as long as there was anything about Gu Jingchen, she would not give up.

As soon as Qi Ran got home, he called the private detective he knew to find out about Pei Moyun's identity.

Intuition told her that Pei Moyun was by no means a simple character.

And Song Yi came to Qi Ran's house shortly after she returned home.

The insulated lunch box in his hand explains the intention.

"It's so cold now, if you're busy with work, don't worry about me, okay?"

"It's not good, today's black chicken soup, you give me a drop of all the leftovers to drink, otherwise I won't leave here."

The two did not get along with each other because of the unhappiness that happened in the old place.

Qi Ran knew that his refusal would never take effect in front of Song Yi, so he generously drank its chicken soup.

Song Yi saw that the living room was a little messy, so he tidied it up. When he saw Pei Moyun's business card on the coffee table, he asked suspiciously, "How do you have his business card?" ”

"Huh? Oh, a customer. ”

"Ranran, to be honest."

Song Yi's face suddenly became serious, Qi Ran put down the bowl in his hand, and explained, "He took the initiative to find me today and said that he wanted to talk about some cooperation, but then we didn't reach a cooperation because of different interests." ”

Qi Ran didn't want to say that it was because of "No. 77".

Song Yi tore off the business card and threw it into the trash, "Pei Moyun is Pei Momin's younger brother, and he is also a very famous young painter, but he has always been very low-key and mysterious. This person is said to love to study psychology. ”

Qi Ran was a little surprised, and sent one four to say that it was the information that the detective agency gave him today.

She didn't know why he knew about Pei Moyun, maybe it was probably because Pei Moyun was a member of Pei's family.

"Pei Moyun is too mysterious, so don't get too close to him."

Qi Ran opened the information sent by the detective agency in the mailbox, "This person has been studying Gu Jingchen for the past few years. ”

When she said this, she saw that Song Yi's eyes were obviously uncomfortable.

"Their style of painting is a genre."

After saying this, Song Yi packed up his things and prepared to leave Qi Ran's house, he didn't want to talk to her about that person, because then he would only have endless inferiority complex and frustration.

Moreover, he now needs to know the reason why Pei Moyun took the initiative to contact Qi Ran.

Even though very few people in this world know that Qi Ran has a relationship with Gu Jingchen, he can't guarantee that Pei Moyun doesn't know about Gu Jingchen's unknown past with Qi Ran.

And after the first official confrontation with Qi Ran, Pei Moyun felt that hungry Qi Ran was more interesting than he imagined.

Looking at her profile on the easel, Pei Moyun's smile became even more mysterious, "Qi Ran, the game has begun." ”
