Pei Xiao noticed the girl in the photo because she felt a strong sense of familiarity at first sight.
She couldn't remember where she had seen it. Even if it was, this was a photo from five or six years ago. Didn't she lose her memory and not even remember it?
Shaking her head, she stuffed the photo back again. After all, it was not a good thing to peep into other people's privacy, and Xi Xiangdong tucked it on the back, obviously not wanting anyone to see it.
After cleaning up the room, Pei Xiao simmered the rice and waited quietly for Mr. Xi to come back.
Christmas is approaching, and it snows for the first time in the Imperial City. You can feel the festive atmosphere everywhere. The host on TV talked endlessly about the good places to visit in the Imperial City for Christmas this year. Most of those places are suitable for young couples to spend time together.
It was Christmas Eve, and she and Xi always had no hope.
First of all, she will attend the premiere of "The Ocean" on Christmas Eve, making appearances and interviews. It will be almost ninety o'clock after all the hard work. The crew may have a celebration party internally, and Mr. Xi's schedule is even more of a mystery.
These Western festivals have become more and more popular in China in recent years. They have long lost their original meaning and become synonymous with romance. She never dared to think of the word "romantic" in Xi Xiangdong. Mr. Xi only had to give her a few alms.
With a smile on her face, she probably thought it was sunny.
It was six o'clock before she knew it while watching TV. She looked at her watch and tried to call Xi Xiangdong, but no one answered.
As expected, she has long been used to waiting.
I was bored and scanning the channels with the remote control. I accidentally switched to an entertainment news channel and saw that it was listing some unknown wealthy people in the entertainment industry. Among them was Xiangdong. Although he was not a traditional business wealthy person, his family background was among the best.
Mysterious and unfathomable, he also listed a few names that often appeared on the news network, saying that he might be related to their family by marriage.
Bagua finally posted a photo that the paparazzi had just taken in the afternoon. Xi Xiangdong and his family were eating in a courtyard in Lijia Hutong. That place is now a material cultural heritage and has not been demolished in the city center with many high-rise buildings. Is that right?
Open to the public. The woman in the photo is wearing wide-width sunglasses, and she is suspected to be Yang Yunguang, the world's number one sister. The host finally speculated that after both parties met their parents, something good might be about to happen.
Pei Xiao searched the Internet and found that there were indeed news pictures, but they involved sensitive people and were not listed on the portal. They were only discussed in a few gossip forums.
She turned off the TV and sat on the sofa in a daze for a while. The soup was simmering over low heat in the kitchen, making a slight gurgling sound. It was like an anxious boil in her heart, and bubbles kept coming out, which was sour.
There is a bitter, tight feeling in the chest, and there is an indescribable feeling.
It was almost nine o'clock when Xi Xiangdong came back. When he heard the door ring, Pei Xiao immediately sat up from the sofa: "Are you back?"
He remained silent and changed his shoes. Pei Xiao went over to turn on the light and smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body.
"Didn't you say you wanted me to come back to cook? Why did you drink so much outside again?"
He seemed unhappy, and Pei Xiao didn't dare to complain too much. He turned around and said, "I'll heat up the soup for you, or do you want to take a bath first?"
But he grabbed her hand and said, "Pei Xiao!" He pulled her into his arms, hugged her, and kissed her.
Pei Xiao was so lost in his kiss that the strong smell of alcohol entered the tip of her nose and made her tongue numb. She pushed him, and he tightened his grip on her harder and harder, holding her down with his arms.
