After many years of marriage, she was reborn

In the bar, lights are flashing and music is playing.

Pei Di sat in the corner, quietly watching Wei Lan talking and laughing with the bosses.

He felt very uncomfortable, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He looked at Wei Lan. Her smile was bright and charming. She appeared confident and generous when talking with the bosses.

Pei Di couldn't help but feel jealous.

Just then, Mr. Wang from Shenghua Capital came over.

He looked at Pei Di with a hint of curiosity on his face, "Boss Pei, don't just drink alone. Why don't you chat with everyone?"

Pei Di raised his head, glanced at him, and said in a somewhat cold tone, "There's nothing to say."

Mr. Wang seemed to have noticed something and hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help asking: "Tell me honestly, are you and Wei Lan..."

However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped.

Pei Di frowned and glared at him, "Mr. Wang, you worry too much. Things are not what you think."

Mr. Wang scratched his head and smiled, "Hey, okay, I may have misunderstood."

"But, Mr. Pei, we have been friends for many years. I can still see your intentions."

Pei Di was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Wei Lan and I are just partners, that's all."

"You know my character. I don't pounce on everyone I see." Pei Di took a sip of the wine in his hand.

"I am a germaphobe when it comes to relationships, especially women like Wei Lan, whom I despise even more."

President Wang shook his head. "President Pei, you are just stubborn. Don't deny it. She must have a place in your heart."

"Go after someone you like, and don't regret it later. Besides, you've been single for so long, it's time to let go of the past."

Pei Di didn't say anything, but silently picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang continued to persuade her, "I think Wei Lan is a good girl. She is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality."

"Also, I can sense that this girl is interested in you. The way she looks at you is very special, different from the way she looks at others."

Pei Di remained silent and did not respond.

Seeing Pei Di was indifferent, President Wang pushed him and said, "President Pei, now is not the time for you to act cool. Don't let President Mu get ahead of you!"

"It's too stuffy here. I'm going out to get some fresh air." Pei Di used this as an excuse to leave the bar guest room.

"Don't worry. If you don't like what I say, you can just choose not to listen. What's the point of avoiding me?" Mr. Wang wanted to stop Pei Di.

Pei Di insisted on walking out of the bar despite Mr. Wang's obstruction.

He stood in the doorway and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

In fact, he was not as calm as he appeared, and Mr. Wang's words kept echoing in his ears.

"She looks at you in a special way... She's interested in you..."

Pei Di couldn't help but think of Wei Lan's smile and eyes, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

But then he shook his head vigorously, trying to get these thoughts out of his mind.

"I can't think about it anymore. She and I are from two different worlds..."

However, just as Pei Di was about to turn around and go back to the bar, his eyes inadvertently fell on a figure not far away.

That was Wei Lan. She was standing alone on the street, looking a little lonely.

Pei Di's heart was instantly touched, and he walked towards her involuntarily.

"It's cold outside, why did you come out?"

The blue eyes were bloodshot, the cheeks were flushed, and there was a hint of drunkenness.

She stared at Pei Di with a blurred yet sharp look in her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly, and she said in a hoarse voice: "You... do you look down on me?"

"Do you think that I am no longer worthy of you now that I have been bullied by others?"

Pei Di sneered, "If you think so, then so be it. It's cold outside, let's go in."

Wei Lan's body softened and she leaned against Pei Di, muttering to herself: "I know you despise me. A woman like me... is not worthy of your love..."

"I know you won't marry me, but you don't have to treat me like this. Do you know how sad I am?"

Pei Di frowned slightly and supported her, "You are drunk, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not drunk!" Wei Lan suddenly stood up straight and looked at Pei Di with wide eyes.

"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Don't you just want to make fun of me?"

Tears slid down Wei Lan's cheeks, and her voice was filled with tears: "You are just like them, you all look down on me!"

Pei Di looked at her distressedly and reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I don't look down on you, don't cry."

Wei Lan held his hand and moved closer to him. "Why are you always so cold to me? Am I really that annoying..."

Pei Di felt the warmth and softness of her body, and his heartbeat quickened. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself rational, "I..."

Before she could finish her words, Wei Lan stood on tiptoes and pressed her lips tightly against Pei Di's.

Pei Di was stunned and at a loss for a moment.

Wei Lan didn't care, she hugged Pei Di's neck tightly with both hands and deepened the kiss.

After a long time, she let go of her hand and looked at Pei Di with confused eyes.

"I... I like you." Wei Lan said softly.

"You are drunk, I will pretend that nothing happened tonight." Pei Di said without any emotion at all.

"I also want to thank you, Mr. Pei, today for giving me the opportunity to interact with these CEOs. Maybe in the future I..." Pei Di suddenly felt happy and covered Wei Lan's mouth.

Pei Di's eyes became deep and complicated. He stared at Wei Lan and said slowly, "You don't have to thank me. This is the opportunity you deserve."

He paused, then continued, "Also, I hope you won't treat your feelings so casually in the future."

After saying that, he released his hand that was covering Wei Lan's mouth.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Wei Lan's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, "I understand, President Pei."

"It's getting late, shall I take you home?" Pei Di once again stepped forward and supported the slightly drunk Wei Lan.

Pei Di helped Wei Lan into the car, and they both remained silent along the way.

When they arrived downstairs of Wei Lan's house, Pei Di helped her open the car door.

"Thank you, Mr. Pei." Wei Lan said to the car window after getting out of the car.

Pei Di didn't say anything, just nodded.

Wei Lan watched his car drive away and felt a sense of loss.

After returning home, Pei Di lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Scenes from tonight and Wei Lan kept appearing in his mind.

Especially that unexpected kiss, which made him feel very upset.

He knew that his feelings for Wei Lan were no longer just that of a partner.

However, he also knew clearly that there were too many gaps and obstacles between them.

The next day, Pei Di came to the company and saw Wei Lan was already working.

Her expression was as professional and calm as ever, as if what happened last night had never happened.

Pei Di walked to his office, sat down and thought for a long time, and finally decided to talk to Wei Lan.

He called Wei Lan and said, "Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."
