Raiders of that cat

An Xiuchen knows that Pei Yang has a lot of opinions on Qiao Yuan, and now that Pei Yang is not here, if he eats with Qiao Yuan in private, Pei Yang will inevitably get angry when he finds out about it later. Once his temper comes up, An Xiuchen thinks about it The heads are big.

An Xiuchen found other reasons to refuse, but Qiao Yuan was very persistent, saying that there were important things to discuss, which could not be explained clearly in a few sentences, and An Xiuchen could only agree.

The restaurant that Qiao Yuan took An Xiuchen to was a newly opened Japanese restaurant. There were not many people, not because the restaurant was not good, but because this restaurant was a membership system. If you want to eat here, you need to make an appointment in advance , Qiao Yuan is good friends with the owner of this store, so he went straight into the room after talking.

"Xiu Chen, try it, the sashimi in this shop is very delicious."

An Xiuchen nodded, looking at the salmon sashimi that Qiao Yuan brought over, he didn't have much appetite: "Qiao Yuan, don't you have something important to say?"

Qiao Yuan's eyes dimmed, he put down his chopsticks, and looked at An Xiuchen: "Xiuchen, you seem to be a stranger to me since you were with Pei Yang."

Although he doesn't want to admit it, An Xiuchen has also noticed that the days of going to school together, playing basketball, and participating in activities are long gone: "You are the boss of the company now, and you are usually so busy. I am no longer in the advertising industry, and it is normal to be a little rusty."

By saying high-sounding words, he simply bypassed the important factor of Pei Yang.

"I understand, it must be Pei Yang who doesn't let you have too much contact with me."

"No, he didn't say that."

Qiao Yuan didn't believe it. Would Pei Yang, who was narrow-minded and possessive, tell An Xiuchen about this?

"Xiu Chen, it's not me who provoked your relationship. Pei Yang has been away for so long, so you really don't wonder what he did?"

An Xiuchen thought that he was not completely ignorant, at least they would call and video together at night.

"He said that going to T city to discuss a project might be a little more troublesome than imagined, so he would have to postpone his return for a few days."

An Xiuchen spoke seriously, but Qiao Yuan, who was sitting opposite, smiled: "Talk about the project? Actually, I admire him a lot. If the family business doesn't take over, he has to run out and set up his own business. Who would do that if it's on someone else's shoulders?" ?”

An Xiuchen couldn't tell. He actually asked the question before, but Pei Yang's answer was a bit ambiguous. I think everyone has reasons and privacy. Since Pei Yang didn't want to say it, he couldn't force him to ask.

Qiao Yuan lowered his eyes and inadvertently saw a ring on An Xiuchen's right ring finger on the table.

"This ring...you won't be with Pei Yang..."

An Xiuchen took a look and said lightly: "We are planning to get married."

Qiao Yuan's expression after hearing this sentence was surprise, loss, panic and anger.

An Xiuchen knows what Qiao Yuan thinks of him, but such things as feelings really cannot be forced.

"Qiao Yuan, I..."

An Xiuchen wanted to say a few words of comfort, but suddenly Qiao Yuan slapped the table and stood up, his eyes widened: "You can't marry him!"

An Xiuchen was taken aback, he had never seen Qiao Yuan get so angry, then he lowered his eyes and motioned him to sit down and said calmly: "Qiao Yuan, this is between me and Pei Yang, even if you are my friend , and don’t intervene too much.”

"Xiu Chen, you don't understand, Pei Yang does one thing to the face and another to the other side, he is simply lying to you."

An Xiuchen didn't want to hear anyone speak ill of Pei Yang, he pulled his hand away from Qiao Yuan's palm, and stood up too: "If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

"Do you not believe me?"

Qiao Yuan stared at An Xiuchen's back, feeling a little chilled.

Up to now, what An Xiuchen can say, nothing can change the situation, he continues to bury his head to leave, but Qiao Yuan steps forward and grabs his arm: "Xiuchen, I came to you today just to talk to you You are talking about Pei Yang, my friend met Pei Yang in City T, but do you know who he is with?"

An Xiuchen turned his head: "With whom?"

"With a woman, and she is also the daughter of the Fang Group named Fang Ruruo."

An Xiuchen frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "What's the matter, maybe it's just a partner?"

"Partner?" Qiao Yuan took out a photo from his bag and handed it to An Xiuchen: "Have you ever seen a partner having dinner together so intimately?"

An Xiuchen bowed his head. The faces of the two people in the photo were not particularly clear, but he recognized that it was Pei Yang just by the clothes. In the photo, Pei Yang and Fang Ruruo were very close. If you don't look carefully, It's easy to be mistaken for a kissing couple.

"Xiu Chen, did you see it? Are you still making excuses for Pei Yang?"

An Xiuchen's heart sank, his mind was a little confused, and his ears were buzzing, and from time to time, some sweet words that Pei Yang said in their videos during the past few days...

impossible.

How can this be?

Pei Yang said that he would tell him about the marriage when he came back from talking about the project in T City, why would he be having an affair with another woman now?

"Xiuchen, are you okay?" Qiao Yuan was a little worried and reached out to support An Xiuchen, letting him sit down.

An Xiuchen slowed down, looked up at Qiao Yuan: "Is this photo really just happened to be taken by your friend?"

Qiao Yuan was taken aback, and after he nodded, he avoided An Xiuchen's sight. An Xiuchen knew him too well for this inadvertent action, so he felt guilty.

"How did your friend know Pei Yang? Even if he knew, how could he know that this woman is the daughter of the Fang Group?"

Qiao Yuan was stopped by the question, and he was thinking of some way to prevaricate, when An Xiuchen suddenly said, "Did you ask someone to follow Pei Yang to secretly take pictures?"

Being caught by An Xiuchen's words, Qiao Yuan was a little flustered but vowed: "I wanted to protect you, Pei Yang is too suspicious."

This reason can't convince An Xiuchen at all, he stared at Qiao Yuan a little hairy: "Xiu Chen, I'm really doing it for you, think about it, if Pei Yang is really upright, why would he go find another woman when he leaves you?" Have a good time?"

An Xiuchen didn't listen to these, he held the photo in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Did you secretly take other photos?"

Qiao Yuan shook his head, only this one.

An Xiuchen nodded, stood up again, and turned his back: "Qiao Yuan, thank you for worrying about me, but I still say that, this is a matter between me and Pei Yang, even if he really cheated, he should It was he who told me face to face, and no one else could control it."

Qiao Yuan couldn't figure it out, and said stubbornly: "Xiu Chen, the facts are all in front of us, and you still want to protect him?"

An Xiuchen didn't want to protect Pei Yang, he just didn't believe it. After so many experiences, Pei Yang never gave up on himself and stayed by his side all the time. How could it be possible for him to fall in love with someone else after just a business trip?

An Xiuchen didn't know how he got home, he was lying on the bed, his limbs were weak, but his eyes kept staring at the photo.

He wanted to call Pei Yang, wondering whether he should ask him clearly.

But he changed his mind, if he asked, what answer would he want?

He would definitely scold Qiao Yuan bloody, and then vowed his loyalty again and again. There was such a long distance between them, even if he said that he had nothing to do with that woman, he could only choose to believe it, and waited obediently at home for him to come back.

But what if he admits it?

An Xiuchen's whole heart was seized instantly, he turned sideways and curled up, he couldn't imagine what would he do if Pei Yang left him?

He was already used to Pei Yang's existence, and he finally made up his mind to let go of the past and Gu Shaoqing, and open his heart to accept a person, but this person let him get off halfway, so what should he do?

An Xiuchen didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to touch the phone.

Now he has no career and notoriety, he only has Pei Yang, only Pei Yang...

An Xiuchen's mind was unknowingly empty, he watched the afterglow of the setting sun being swallowed up by the night little by little, and the room that was once full of warmth and sweetness became darker and colder, and he was suddenly a little scared up.

At this time, the phone suddenly turned on.

It's Pei Yang.

An Xiuchen's fingers were pale and weak. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to get up, pick up the phone, turn on the light and press the connect button.

Pei Yang at the other end of the video looked exhausted, and he had dark circles in his eyes after staying up for countless days and nights.

"Xiu Chen, I'm so tired."

Pei Yang was lying on the pillow in the hotel, looking like a little milk dog acting like a spoiled child to its master.

An Xiuchen calmed down and forced a smile: "If you are tired, take a rest quickly, we can make another video tomorrow."

"No." Pei Yang kept shaking his head: "I've been looking forward to coming back to video with you at night all day long. As long as I see you, I'll feel better."

After speaking, he deliberately opened his eyes wide open, as if An Xiuchen would not believe it.

An Xiuchen didn't know if he was smiling forcedly. He really wanted to ask about the photos, and he kept asking about the photos, but every time he saw Pei Yang tilting his head and smiling, he couldn't bear to say it. After thinking about it, he could only ask indirectly: "Pei Yang, why are you back?"

Pei Yang looked a little lonely: "Xiu Chen, I really want to finish my work quickly and go back to accompany you, but the efficiency here is too low, I'm afraid it will be next month."

"Next month?" That means there will be more than ten days.

An Xiuchen couldn't help it: "What project are you talking about? It's so strenuous."

Pei Yang smiled, sat up hugging the pillow, and said a lot, but didn't focus on a single word.

An Xiuchen vaguely felt that Pei Yang really seemed to be hiding something. He was about to open his mouth to continue asking, but Pei Yang seemed to see something, and then said a few words in a hurry, and hung up without even saying goodbye.

An Xiuchen looked at the blacked out screen, his heart sank gradually.

Could it be that someone came into the room, so it's inconvenient?

Is it the woman in the photo?

An Xiuchen panicked suddenly, he immediately dialed back, but there was no answer at the other end, he did not give up and dialed two more times, finally someone answered, he had just fed when a woman's call came from the other end sound……
