189. Chapter 189 Smile: Tell yourself you don't care
Zhuang Wan followed Gu Yinian's focused gaze and saw that it was Chu Xia. She immediately became wary and held Gu Yinian's arm tightly.
"Xia Chu won't come to cause damage again, will he?"
Zhuang Wan's voice awakened Gu Yinian's distant thoughts, and he patted the back of Zhuang Wan's hand until Chu Xia came to him.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Zhuang, congratulations on your marriage." Chu Xia smiled slightly, showing indescribable emotion and melancholy.
The man she liked was engaged to the woman he loved. His happiness was already settled, but her own happiness was far away. It would be false to say she was not melancholy.
"Thank you." Zhuang Wan replied politely, but still looked at Chu Xia warily, fearing that she would suddenly attack and ruin her engagement ceremony.
Chu Xia saw that Gu Yinian was neither cold nor indifferent, seemed unwilling to speak, and felt quite bored, so he turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yinian suddenly grabbed her arm the moment she turned around and asked her, "Is this the only thing you want to say?"
Chu Xia didn't know why, so she thought for a while and whispered: "I haven't been paid yet, so I don't have money to buy gifts..."
Is Gu Yinian unhappy because she came empty-handed? But she is very poor. She went to Pei's house and suffered a lot but didn't make half a dime. She felt like a failure.
"Yi Nian, what's wrong with you? Everyone is watching." Seeing Gu Yi Nian holding Chu Xia's hand tightly, Zhuang Wan reminded her in a low voice.
Only then did Gu Yinian realize that he had lost his composure. He hesitated for a moment and finally released his grip on Chu Xia.
Chu Xia breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked into the crowd, only to see someone she didn't want to meet again. So let's just say, she didn't like attending such banquets and would always meet some old friends for no reason.
Aren't the men and women standing together not far away the same Xia Lan and Leng Bin who had a chance encounter last time?
Xia Lan saw Chu Xia's sneaky movements and raised her voice: "Hey, who are you? Why do you hide when you see me?!"
In fact, the woman's evasive movements were so obvious that it was difficult for her not to see them.
Chu Xia pretended not to know that she was being called. She hurriedly got into the crowd, and an acquaintance happened to come over. She threw herself into his arms without thinking: "I'll lend you your arms, but you can't push me out, otherwise I won't
I accept you as my friend!"
The man who was hugged tightly by Chu Xia was none other than Qi Yalun.
He didn't expect that Chu Xia would be so enthusiastic and proactive, so he hugged her tightly and said with a smile: "Lending me my arms is very expensive and requires interest. If you get in, you will stay with me for the rest of your life."
Chu Xia didn't dare to say anything and hit Qi Yalun directly on the back.
This man is really very unpleasant and not a gentleman at all. When his friends are in trouble, shouldn't he help them unconditionally?
"Hey, who are you? Why do you run when you see me?!" Xia Lan quickly rushed behind Chu Xia and shouted at Chu Xia.
Chu Xia waved her small white hand towards Xia Lan, signaling this annoying woman to leave quickly.
"This is my woman! She likes to get into my arms, who are you?" Qi Yalun said, hugging Chu Xia's head even more tightly.
He was afraid that this woman would suffocate to death in his arms with such a drilling method, but the scene must be very interesting.
Gu Yinian and Pei Chi also saw something was wrong here. Of course they could tell that the woman in Qi Yalun's arms was Chu Xia. They also knew that the people Chu Xia wanted to avoid were actually Xia Lan and Leng Bin.
Leng Bin's eyes were fixed on Chu Xia's back, and he always felt that this woman was very familiar...
"Who are you and why are you always staring at my woman?!" Qi Yalun glanced at Leng Bin coldly.
Leng Bin came back to his senses and politely replied: "I'm just afraid that this young lady will get bored."
He was still recalling carefully where he had seen this woman.
In my memory, there was also a woman who would crawl into someone's arms as soon as she saw him and Xia Lan. It seemed like they were in a resort...
"I remembered, this is the young lady who got into Mr. Pei's arms last time!" Leng Bin had an idea and finally remembered where he had seen this strange woman.
Chu Xia was upset when she heard this. She knew that Leng Bin was much more difficult to deal with than Xia Lan, that idiot woman, but she found out that she had met her so quickly.
If we continue to investigate further, we will sooner or later discover that she is the former Xia Chu.
She had no choice but to hit Qi Yalun hard with her palm, signaling him to take her away from this place of right and wrong quickly.
Qi Yalun was punched hard by Chu Xia. He smiled and said: "Hitting is kissing and scolding, and it is love. The harder you hit, the deeper the love. My dear, is that right?"
Normally, Chu Xia would have jumped up and pointed at his nose and yelled curses. This time, the woman was just the opposite. She just stayed sullen in his arms and said nothing. It was so fun.
"My dear, how about this, you promise to give me a Chinese kiss, and I will take you out of here. Our deal is done, then you just nod..." Qi Yalun smiled and made a deal with Chu Xia.
This is a rare opportunity, so you must seize it.
Unexpectedly, Pei Chi suddenly rushed over at the next moment. He wrapped Chu Xia's head in a suit, then picked her up horizontally and strode out of the banquet hall.
Qi Yalun's evil eyes were blurred, and he looked thoughtfully at the direction Pei Chi was leaving. He went to Jian Xin, who had a tense pretty face, and curled his lips with a faint smile: "You only see him in your heart, but he is in public in public.
Leave you behind and take another woman away. Did you find out? He has changed!"
Jian Xin remained silent, not knowing how to answer.
Yes, Pei Chi always looked left and right when he was with her. He would look at Chu Xia from time to time. It seemed that when he could see Chu Xia, he would feel relieved.
When he saw Chu Xia hiding in Qia Yalun's arms, his face looked ugly.
When Qi Yalun threatened Chu Xia with a kiss, Pei Chi directly took Chu Xia away in this way on such an occasion.
He didn't think about her feelings at all. It was clear that she was the female companion who came to the banquet with him, and Chu Xia was just a foil.
"Xinxin, do you want to come back to me now? I am still willing to accept you as my fiancée. If you come to me one day when you are tired of being played by Chi, I may not accept you again." Qi Yalun laughed.
, ride on Jian Xin’s fragrant shoulders.
"I can't forget him. Aaron, let's break off the engagement. I should have made this clear to you a long time ago." Jian Xin pushed Qi Aaron away with a firm look on her face.
After so many years, she has never forgotten Pei Chi. No matter what happened in the past or how many mistakes she made, she never wanted to miss Pei Chi.
She wants to do her best to stay by Pei Chi's side. If there is someone around Pei Chi, she will try her best to clear the obstacle. If the obstacle is Chu Xia, she will spare no effort to take action.
"Don't you think about it again?! You have to know that Secretary Chu is a very strong rival in love. I'm afraid that you will lose completely at her hands in the end. Besides, I can help you once more..." Qi Yalun patted her gently.
Jian Xin raised her head and said softly.
Qi Yalun paused for a moment, then continued: "Let's maintain the relationship as an unmarried couple for the time being, because you can use me for something, and I can help you get rid of Secretary Chu, a strong love rival!"
Jian Xin looked at Qi Yalun in disbelief, feeling that this man did not seem to be such an easy talker. Unless, he had other plans.
"Are you attracted to Chu Xia?" she asked with a frown.
She couldn't think of a better answer except that she fell in love with Chu Xia as her prey.
"Secretary Chu is indeed very cute. I was fascinated by her the night I saw her." Qi Yalun glanced at the lively banquet hall and couldn't help but sigh: "When she left, there was only vulgar powder left, nothing at all.
If it’s not fun, I’ll leave too!”
After that, Qi Yalun left gracefully.
After leaving the banquet hall, he subconsciously searched for Chu Xia and Pei Chi, but they were already gone.
After Chu Xia was taken out of the banquet hall by Pei Chi, she struggled out of Pei Chi's arms, took off the suit that wrapped her head, and took a big breath of fresh air.
She quietly looked towards the direction of the banquet hall and felt relieved when she saw no one was chasing her.
Looking back, she saw Pei Chi looking at her coldly, and she muttered: "Did I do something wrong?"
People who didn't know better thought she had done something heinous, at least that's what the look in Pei Chi's eyes said.
"I told you to stay away from Qi Yalun, did you listen to me?" Pei Chi asked coldly.
"I know. In fact, he is not as bad as you said. He and I are friends, and friends will not harm their friends. Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I have a sense of proportion!" Chu Xia disagreed.
"You have the sense to embrace him in public, and you have the sense not to get entangled with him. I can save you once, save you twice, but I can't do it every time -
"
"Boss, it's not as serious as you said. Go home!" Chu Xia interrupted Pei Chi's nagging.
This person is like an old master who likes to repeat the same old tunes.
Besides, she will leave the Pei family soon. As long as she no longer deals with Pei Chi, she will have no chance to meet Qi Yalun again.
Pei Chi looked at Chu Xia coldly, and Chu Xia squinted at him and smiled: "Why don't you go back and accompany Little Xingxing? I'll go back by myself."
Chu Xia said as she headed towards the subway. After walking for a few minutes, she suddenly felt someone behind her. When she looked back, she saw Pei Chi following her not too far or too close.
She paused, wondering why Pei Chi didn't go back to the banquet hall, or drive his luxury car home, and why he followed her into the subway.
She entered the subway, and Pei Chi followed suit.
"Secretary Chu, what do you think of me getting back together with Xinxin?" The car was crowded and noisy, and Pei Chi's melodious voice reached Chu Xia's ears clearly.
"It's a good thing that lovers will eventually get married." Chu Xia took a breath, looked at Pei Chi, and replied with a smile.
Even though she is so sad that it hurts to breathe, she can only smile and tell herself that she doesn't care...
Pei Chi was immersed in his own thoughts, seeming to be thinking about very complicated things.
Chu Xia didn't say anything anymore, and Pei Chi became silent.
"Then if she and I are together, do we have to divorce?" Pei Chi asked again.
Hearing this, Chu Xia smiled brightly: "That's for sure, otherwise it would be bigamy. Besides, haven't we signed the divorce agreement a long time ago? As long as you remember to pay me a fee, there will be no problem. Otherwise
