Forced to make a fake show with the president

"Does Mr. Pei still like to drink recently?"

Zhou Zhenzhen picked up the wine bottle and poured half of it into the goblet in front of Pei Xi.

The wine is mellow and exudes a strong fruity aroma. This is the most popular wine in this restaurant.

Pei Xi frowned, "We agreed to only come for dinner."

Zhou Zhenzhen continued to smile, "You should drink something to moisten your throat after eating."

There wasn't much drink in front of him, so it wasn't a problem at all for Pei Xi, who had a heavy drinker.She didn't want to drink this glass of wine, the bigger reason was the person who poured it - Zhou Zhenzhen.

Although she knew early in the morning that Zhou Zhenzhen was indispensable for the school celebration cooperation, but after experiencing the incident in the elevator last time, Pei Xi did not expect that Zhou Zhenzhen would not only not be affected at all, but would still appear in front of her without any worries.

This made Pei Xi feel a little headache.

As if seeing Pei Xi's concerns, the smile on Zhou Zhenzhen's face faded a little, and her eyes gradually projected through Pei Xi to the past: "Mr. Pei, don't worry, although I still like you and still want to get back together with you, Go back to the previous relationship, but... I already know that this is impossible."

Zhou Zhenzhen ignored Pei Xi's furrowed brows, and continued: "I am a person who really wants to save face. I used to leave without saying a word, and now it's fine. Now that I know it's impossible and how embarrassed I am, I won't continue like this go down."

"It's just that I still need some time to let go completely, and before that..." Zhou Zhenzhen smiled and stretched out her hand, "Just treat me as a partner, if the cooperation is successful, the ex-girlfriend will never bother you again. If it fails, she will disappear again, just like she left without saying goodbye."

Pei Xi raised his hand hesitantly, as if he was considering whether to hold it.Zhou Zhenzhen didn't give her a chance to repent, and suddenly moved forward, took her hand, and even touched it vaguely.

"Boss Pei's hands are still so slender, and they feel very safe to the touch." Zhou Zhenzhen pursed her lips in a frivolous tone.

Pei Xi's face darkened in an instant, and he withdrew his hand forcefully.

They were talking and laughing in the restaurant, but across the wall, Tan Yuqing outside the restaurant couldn't really laugh.

He watched silently and coldly, then carried the lunch box and returned to Shangyungang alone without saying a word.

In the afternoon, the sky was gloomy, and a heavy rain poured down.From time to time, a blinding thunderbolt descended from the thick dark clouds, and the rumbling sound could be heard far, far away.

Tan Yuqing has been courageous since he was a child, and he is not afraid of thunder and rain, but today he buried himself in the bed uncharacteristically, curled up and remained motionless.

Although her rationality told her that it was impossible for Pei Xi and Zhou Zhenzhen to be together, what she had seen with her own eyes had already shaken such an unfounded idea.

What if, what if they were really together, what if Pei Xi had already abandoned her...

Thinking of this, Tan Yuqing buried herself deeper, under the quilt that no one cares about.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, she woke up suddenly, thinking that Pei Xi would be back in an hour, she immediately got rid of the complicated thoughts in her mind, and got up to cook.

But it seemed that it was premeditated, and just after putting on the slippers, the phone rang.

"Yuqing, it's me."

pei hee.

Tan Yuqing tightened her grip on the phone, and involuntarily recalled the scene she saw at noon in her mind: Zhou Zhenzhen was holding Pei Xi's hand, with such a dazzling smile on her face.

Terrified, anxious, but powerless, Tan Yuqing fell into a self-enclosed emotional world, and even forgot to reply to Pei Xi.

"Yuqing? Yuqing, are you still there? Yuqing?"

After calling three times in a row, Tan Yuqing managed to recover, and hummed absently, "Aren't you coming back today?"

"Well, I won't be back today."

"That's it, then... what about tomorrow?" Tan Yuqing asked without expecting while holding the phone.

"I won't be back tomorrow, um... To be precise, I won't be back until Friday."

Tan Yuqing turned her head and glanced at the calendar beside the bed.

Today is Tuesday, that is to say, Pei Xi will not come back for the next three days.

My heart was empty, but more of it was expected disappointment and exhaustion.

Is it really just busy work to reject her?But if this is the case, why does Pei Xi have the time and leisure to play ambiguous games with Zhou Zhenzhen.

The resentment and anger in her heart gradually rose, but Tan Yuqing could only suppress it silently, and she didn't even have the heart to conceive of a reasonable excuse.

"I heard from Qiao Xu that you came to Fang's today?" Pei Xi asked suddenly.

Tan Yuqing hummed, "I'm going to bring you lunch."

"That's it, I'm sorry to trouble you." Before Tan Yuqing could speak, Pei Xi continued, "It must be very tiring to make a special trip for me at noon, and I don't have to come tomorrow. The company has a cafeteria, so Fang There is also a new restaurant opened next to Shi, so don't worry about me."

Tan Yuqing wanted to retort that it was no trouble, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped.

Maybe Pei Xi wasn't worried about her being tired at all, maybe he just disliked her.

This kind of thought might just be a fantasy of Tan Yu's list, but it successfully blocked her mouth without a doubt.Like a choke in her throat, the words are her mood at this time.

"Pei Xi," Tan Yuqing struggled to speak, with a fragile and bitter smile on her face, as if she was not reconciled, she took up the last bit of courage, and asked with all her self-esteem: "Are you eating alone at noon today?"

However, he was shattered by Pei Xi's lie without hesitation and guilt: "Yes, what's wrong?"

For a moment, tears welled up.Tan Yuqing suppressed desperately, covered her mouth, and threw the phone away, lest the person on the other end of the phone would notice something strange.

"Yuqing?"

"Yuqing, are you still there?"

On the other end of the phone, Pei Xi asked a few more questions, but this time no one responded, so he had no choice but to hang up the phone.

And the person she called out to was lying on the bed, his body twitching, and the sobbing sound gradually became clear.

Darkness is always scary, because you can't see clearly, and everything inside is unknown.But when people are sad, this kind of place where you can't see your fingers is more reassuring, indulgent, and cathartic.

It was getting late, and the lights in the room were not turned on. Tan Yuqing curled up on the bed, like a wounded little animal, venting his grievances hoarsely.

From forbearance to loss of control, and then back to silence.

Venting can never improve the status quo, it is just compromising in desperation, and what is really useful is thinking after calming down.

Tan Yuqing is not such a strong person, let alone reason.Because of the smooth sailing in her teenage years, she is innocent.Because of a disaster from heaven and her family's fortunes, she was forced to mature.However, no matter how well she pretends, no matter how hard she tries, she is still a naive child in essence, and the solution to the problem is also very simple.

dodge, escape.

She didn't know when she learned such a weak method, but without a doubt, the only thought left in her mind was two words, "Leave."

It's fine to leave far away, as long as Pei Xi can never find her.

Everywhere is human.

Ridiculous, sad.She originally thought that Pei Xi was her partner, even though she had concealed her mother's illness, which resulted in her not being able to see her mother for the last time, Tan Yuqing still believed so firmly.

So even if she couldn't help resenting and venting her anger, Tan Yuqing clearly understood that she loves Pei Xi, and Pei Xi also loves her. They only have each other in this life, and the short gap is just that they are inseparable Just a small episode of life.Hand in hand with white hair, looking back, it is just an old embellishment that makes people laugh.

But when the bloody truth was presented to her, Tan Yuqing realized that Pei Xi's only one might not be her.

Photos can convince themselves with self-defeating excuses, but what you see with your own eyes cannot.

Why are you intimate and ambiguous with Zhou Zhenzhen?Why do you keep hiding it?Why...she will always find out when she lies?

Tan Yuqing hated, hated Pei Xi for being ambiguous with her, hated her for being indecisive and indecisive.But in the final analysis, what she hated the most was that Pei Xi couldn't lie to her, and she came up with such a clumsy lie to perfuse her, but she still exposed it.

She, who hated cheating the most in her life, actually resented her lover for the first time because his lies were not sophisticated enough.

Ridiculous, but also sad.

Hastily took the passport and packed the suitcase again. Tan Yuqing never told anyone, quietly and alone set foot on the road to go abroad.

Before leaving, she visited her parents one last time, knelt on the wet slate floor and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Mom and Dad, my daughter is incompetent, the villa may not be redeemed, I'm sorry."

Kowtowing his head heavily, then turning around in embarrassment, Tan Yuqing embarked on a long journey back home.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Xi sat at the desk with a stack of thick documents in his hand, but he couldn't read them at all.

Unconsciously recalling the call just now, a strong, indescribable uneasiness arose in my heart.

Having been with Tan Yuqing for such a long time, although I can't know her well, I probably understand her.It was the first time that I hung up the phone silently.

Something is wrong, there is a problem.

The scene of Tan Yuqing leaving without saying goodbye suddenly flashed in his mind, and the anxiety in his heart was pushed to the peak almost instantly.

"No way..." Pei Xi stood up from the chair suddenly, without even having time to think, she quickly put on her coat and hurried downstairs, "Yuqing won't leave me again..."

Even though he knew that the possibility of this was only one in ten thousand, since he had experienced it once, Pei Xi didn't dare to bet.

Because once it happens, the consequences will be beyond her ability to bear.Whether she is sensitive or cowardly, no matter what, she is unwilling to make the same mistakes again.

Walking out of the elevator in a hurry, it was Qiao Xu who met him.

"Mr. Pei, here are the documents and contract you requested..."

Pei Xi was anxious, so he just said "let me go to the office" and passed Qiao Xu, almost running to the parking lot.

Fang's is not far from Shangyungang, and he can go there in less than half an hour.But Pei Xi was unlucky today. He happened to catch up with the rush hour, and the cars on the road were so crowded that they couldn't even pass a traffic light.

Pei Xi sat anxiously in the car, and made five or six calls to Tan Yuqing one after another. Except for the first two that showed no one answered, the last three turned the phone off.

This is tantamount to declaring that Pei Xi's premonition is completely correct.

He clenched his hands into fists and slammed on the steering wheel. The road was full of traffic and the traffic was almost paralyzed.

"Are you going to repeat the same mistakes again? Damn it!"

Pei Xi gritted his teeth and looked at the vehicle in front of him, then pushed open the door as if making up his mind, and ran forward with all his strength.

At the same time, she dialed Qiao Xu's cell phone number: "Hey, Qiao Xu, my car is stuck downstairs, help me drive back."

"Wait, Mr. Pei, where are you going..."

Before he could say anything over there, Pei Xi hung up the phone, scanned a bicycle, and drove forward at full speed.

On the other side, at the airport in City A, Tan Yuqing stood in front of the airport, staring absently at the blonde woman in front of him.

"Vikey..."
