Chapter 041: You're Lying
Meals served quickly.
Mu Zechen didn't like to talk when he ate, so Wen Peiling also finished the meal very quietly.
I have to admit that the chefs here are indeed extremely high-level.
Not to mention the exquisite presentation, the taste is almost full marks, which makes the Peiling girl, who has always controlled the amount of food, can't help but make an exception......
The meal ended with red wine.
Wen Peiling casually took a tissue and wiped her mouth, and when she raised her head to look at Mu Zechen, a trace of red had already appeared on her white and beautiful face.
As Mu Zechen knew, her alcohol consumption was ...... It's really bad.
Originally, she just wanted to use alcohol to strengthen her courage, but the stamina of this red wine seemed to be a little strong, so that now, she actually felt a little buzzing in her head.
"Mu Zechen, I want to go to the bathroom."
She suddenly raised her starry eyes to look at him, and threw down such a sentence in a low voice.
Mu Zechen met her gaze when he heard the sound, and saw that there was a faint hint of drunkenness in her starry eyes, and he couldn't help but look at it for a while, and after feeling that there should be no problem, he also nodded, and responded in a shallow voice, "Go out and turn left at the end, are you sure you can be alone?" ”
Wen Peiling bowed her head slightly and stood up from the chair, as if she hesitated, but finally didn't take her sunglasses, turned around and left the room.
……
Turn left and go all the way to the end of the hallway.
On the left and right sides are the men's and women's rooms, and in the middle hangs a piece of glass, in front of which is a spotless sink for wiping.
Wen Peiling stood in front of the sink, looked at herself with a slightly red face in her glasses, and the next second, she reached out and turned on the faucet, bent down, and pounced on her face with some cold water with both hands.
After feeling sober for a few minutes.
She casually wanted to take some tissues from the tissue box on the sink to wipe her face, but there was another person around her, and took the lead in pulling out some tissues and handing them to her, she didn't react for a while, only lowered her head and said, "Thank you." ”
When the sound fell, she also reached out to take it, closed her eyes and wiped her face.
Fortunately, I have completely removed my makeup when I left the set before, otherwise I would have really become a big cat with cold water and a wipe with a tissue.
"You're welcome, but you've never been very good at drinking, why do you want to accompany Mu Zechen here to drink?"
A low and familiar male voice came suddenly, and there was a faint hint of blame and displeasure in the tone.
Wen Peiling was stunned when she heard this.
She subconsciously straightened up and looked sideways, and when she saw that it was Tang Yefeng, her star eyes couldn't help but froze slightly-
Why is he here?
Do you still know that you came with Mu Zechen?
Just looked at the man suspiciously for a few seconds, Wen Peiling came back to her senses and silently withdrew her gaze, as if she didn't feel the need to explain to him, and after throwing the tissue into the garbage basket, she suddenly turned around, when she didn't see or hear anything, she walked straight past her and walked back.
However, at the moment when she took a step-
"Pei Ling!"
Tang Yefeng's voice came from behind her again, and when the words fell, the person had already walked quickly to her side, his strong arm grabbed her arm, and his voice was a little deeper and more serious than just now, "I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer me?" ”
Wen Peiling's steps to leave were forced to stop.
She lowered her eyes and glanced at Tang Yefeng's big hand that grabbed her, and a complicated look flashed between her eyes, but it was only for a moment, and she returned to her usual indifference and alienation.
She looked up at him, and quietly withdrew her arm from his displeased gaze, and took a step back, and only after keeping a safe distance did her light lip line outline a sarcastic smile, and said very lightly, "Why do I have to answer you?" Also, the relationship between me and Mr. Tang doesn't seem to be as close as it can be called, I think maybe it's more appropriate for you to call me Miss Wen. ”
Her voice sounded so calm that she didn't feel the slightest ripple, including the cold, detached gaze she looked at him, as if she were looking at a stranger she had never seen before.
I don't know why-
At this second, Tang Yefeng only felt that the depths of his pupils had an obvious tingling sensation because of her eyes.
He didn't know what else to say for a while, as if he had been silent for a long time before he lowered his eyes, and suddenly said with a sigh, "I'm sorry, Pei Ling...... In the past, I failed you, but is it really necessary for us to be strangers to the point where we are today? I've always wanted to make amends to you, and I've always wanted to do my best to make amends for the mistakes I've made......
And I just hope that you don't blame everything on innocent people, let alone live with hatred for me, because you hate me, and make decisions that you may regret for the rest of your life......"
Tang Yefeng's eyes had been staring deeply at her when he said this, but in his words that sounded like guilt and self-blame, it was still difficult to hide his maintenance and love for Wen Peishu......
Wen Peiling listened quietly, watching, there was an indescribable feeling of dullness in her chest for a moment, but in the end, she could only endure it, her red lips outlined a light smile, but her eyes were a little sad, "Tang Yefeng, it is you who have turned our relationship into what we are now, not me, since you have made your choice, don't come to me again to talk about what to live up to......
I just hope that even if we meet in the future, we can be regarded as strangers, and you don't have to think highly of yourself, I don't love you for a long time, why should I live with hatred for you, let alone make any ridiculous decisions because of you......"
She took a deep breath and threw down such words, and slightly turned her gaze to look at the mural hanging in the corridor, but the plain hand that fell on her side couldn't help but tighten, and her fingertips were deeply embedded in her palm, bringing a trace of pain that could not be ignored.
Tang Yefeng didn't expect her to say such a thing so resolutely.
His chest suddenly stagnated slightly, and for a moment he felt a little out of breath.
Just looking at her side face so calmly, Tang Yefeng's big hand that fell to his side clenched and loosened, and finally closed his eyes to hide the unknown emotion in his eyes, and only stepped in front of her, clasped her shoulders with both hands, and looked at her with a bit of questioning in his voice and said-
"You're lying! If you really don't hate me anymore, why did you appear here with Mu Zechen, knowing that you didn't drink well, but you still had to drink with him? Also, I heard Pei Shu mention that his uncle intends to marry you and Mu Zechen, but what kind of person is Mu Zechen and what kind of family is the Mu family? How unclear is your brain, so that you and Mu Zechen will get closer and closer?
Pei Ling ...... Even if you really want to use another person to forget the pain I have brought you, you can tell me and I will introduce it to you, but Mu Zechen is by no means as simple as you think, let alone someone you can take advantage of! If you don't get out in time, you will only be eaten and there will be no bones left! ”
The more Tang Yefeng spoke, the more excited he became, and the strength of the girl holding Peiling in his hand inadvertently increased a lot.
Yes –
In his eyes, everything she is doing now is out of hatred and unwillingness for him.
He could understand that she was anxious to need a lifebuoy to pull her out of the abyss of pain, but Mu Zechen obviously shouldn't be her choice, such a sinister and vicious person would only make her fall into even more inextricable pain in the end!
However, Wen Peiling only felt that Tang Yefeng's words were extremely ridiculous, and his excessive strength hurt her, so she frowned immediately, and her face became gloomy.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Tang Yefeng, her light starry eyes were already a little angry at the moment, and the sarcastic arc at the corner of her mouth became more and more profound, and she asked coldly, "Tang Yefeng, are you too self-righteous?" ”
"What did you say?"
Facing her starry eyes with a chilling heart, even though Tang Yefeng had experienced a lot of wind and waves, at this moment, she was still slightly stunned by her eyes for a few seconds, and the hand that was clasped on her shoulder involuntarily loosened, and she also took advantage of this opportunity to step back, skillfully widening the distance between the two.
I said...... You're too self-righteous. ”
Wen Peiling shrugged her slightly aching shoulders, and after the pain eased a little, she looked at Tang Yefeng and said lukewarmly, "Why do you think that any decision I make now has something to do with you?"
Tang Yefeng...... When will you understand that from the moment you gave up on me and chose Wen Peishu, a clear line has been drawn between us...... Three years, three full years have passed...... You're nothing in my heart for a long time...... It's nothing......"
She lightly threw down such words, and when the end fell, her indifferent eyes suddenly lowered.
However, hearing her words, Tang Yefeng instantly felt an indescribable feeling of stuffiness spreading in his chest, but he only took a deep breath because of the feeling of guilt for her, and then spoke again and emphasized, "Okay, just when I am nothing in your heart, but I still regard you as my sister, I should remind you, I will definitely remind you." ”
As he spoke, he took a step forward, his tall and straight body cast a large shadow in front of her, he stared at her with his eyes lowered, and continued to speak quite seriously, "Pei Ling, Mu Zechen is really not someone you can control and use, and the Mu family is not a suitable place for you to marry, while you haven't been entangled too deeply, leave Mu Zechen and find someone who can really give you happiness, understand?" ”
