Yu Yiwei slowly stopped moving and looked at Pei Qiyou with tears in her eyes: "Why, why can't you marry me?"
Pei Qiyou looked back at Yu Yiwei quietly. In fact, he didn't know how to explain his sudden change. He was just tired. He just woke up and found that these were not what he really wanted in his heart. He just
It was the realization that he wanted Bai Xiao.
In his dream last night, he remembered the scene where Bai Xiao leaned on his shoulder and watched the fireworks in the night sky——
She had planned a wedding with him so wonderfully and dreamed about a honeymoon together, but in the end...he didn't give her anything.
The moment he woke up in the morning, his heart was empty, as if he had lost the goal he was striving for in life.
Pei House, the room where Bai Xiao lived before, became a temporary place to store excess items. He went in wearing pajamas. It was empty and cold, and it no longer had the warmth of the past. He opened the drawer and took out the pair of wedding rings.
He suddenly didn't want to get married again and put the wedding ring on another woman's ring finger.
He couldn't give it to Bai Xiao, and he didn't want to give it to another woman...
——————————
Yu Yiwei looked at his calm look and became even more flustered. Pei Qiyou lowered his eyelashes and said after a long time: "As you heard yesterday, I have been married before, and I have had other women before. What is rumored in the circle is also
It’s not a rumor, it’s all true. I’ve raised people outside, and I’m still involved with an actress..."
Yu Yiwei looked ugly and bit her lip: "Do you think you can let me leave just by saying this?"
"Actually, this is not a secret. You will know it in the future anyway. It's better to see clearly who I am earlier."
Pei Qiyou said frankly, without any intention of hiding anything: "Yiwei, what you see is just the Pei Qiyou I deliberately beautified. Before you got to know him, he even lived in a poor demolished house for a year.
I worked as a cement worker on a construction site, and I even got into arguments with people over fifty cents."
Yu Yiwei's eyes flashed, and Pei Qiyou saw her disbelieving expression as he wished, and raised his lips: "The real Pei Qiyou is not a kind person. He can use any means to achieve his goals, even if he uses his own marriage and his own feelings to achieve his goals."
Make an exchange."
Yu Yiwei interrupted him: "That's your past, as long as you correct it in the future."
Pei Qiyou looked at her twinkling eyes, "Even if... I don't love you, not in the past, not now, not in the future?"
"..." The color on Yu Yiwei's face faded.
——Even if... I don't love you, not in the past, not now, not in the future?
What a cruel sentence, so straightforward that she didn't give her any chance to defend him. Yu Yiwei raised her head and looked at him with resentment in her eyes: "What about our children? If you don't marry me, what about our children?
What to do?”
She thought he would hesitate, but in the end, she only heard him say: "Go and get the baby while the moon is still young."
"No, I will not abort this child!"
Pei Qiyou looked down at Yu Yiwei, who was about to cry, and looked at her hand covering her stomach. He thought of Bai Xiao, and thought of the scene he had seen. Bai Xiao struggled down the steps with her waist and round belly.
, his hand hanging by his side clenched and unclenched, and finally rested on Yu Yiwei's shoulder.
Yu Yiwei thought he had changed his mind. With tears in her eyes, she looked up at him happily.
Pei Qiyou: "If you really want this child, I will bear the child support and education expenses after the child is born."
The smile on Yu Yiwei's lips froze, and then she cried: "Pei Qiyou, say it again!"
"Are you sure you want to give birth to a child like me? Are you sure a child who grows up in a single-parent family will be happy?"
"Is it because of Bai Xiao?"
Pei Qiyou didn't say anything, but this silence confirmed Yu Yiwei's guess. In an instant, his heart broke.
"You don't want me anymore. You want to be with Bai Xiao again, right?"
"..."
Yu Yiwei let go of him, staggered back two steps, and before turning to leave, she said angrily: "Pei Qiyou, you will regret it!"
Pei Qiyou looked at Yu Yiwei's fleeing back, and slowly leaned against the desk behind him. He rubbed his face with his hands, and then turned his head and stared at the photo frame on the coffee table not far away. The photo inside was
That night, he brought it back from the demolished house...
Bai Xiao in the photo looks eighteen years old, pure and beautiful, her black and white eyes have no vicissitudes tempered by the years. She has a smile on her face, as if she is looking at him. Pei Qiyou stares at the photo blankly,
The circles under his eyes gradually turned red.

In the conference room, Yu Shaoting was sitting directly above, looking at the pictures on the projector and thinking about other things. Everyone could tell that he was distracted.
But no one took the initiative to remind me.
The manager of the planning department who was explaining there thought there was something wrong with his plan. While observing Yu Shaoting, he made several mistakes.
The same goes for several shareholders. They have rarely seen Yu Shaoting distracted in meetings. Out of curiosity, they all looked at the absent-minded boss above.
After the meeting broke up, Yu Shaoting went out and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking a cigarette. The smoke filled the air and he squinted at the broad field of vision outside.
Several shareholders who came to the meeting came back from the bathroom and saw Yu Shaoting's appearance. They thought he was thinking about selling Donglin shares. After all, the news had spread in the circle some time ago. Yu Shaoting was so thoughtful that they
I couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong inside Donglin.
Seeing Jing Xing passing by with documents, one of the shareholders pulled him into a corner and tried to pry out some gossip from him.
"No," Jing Xing said blankly, "The company has been doing well recently and is operating normally."
So what's wrong with Mr. Yu... Several shareholders couldn't guess what Yu Shaoting was thinking, so they entered the meeting room with their own thoughts.
Jing Xing couldn't help but look at the man who had been standing in front of the window, thinking about Bai Xiao's phone call. Could it be that he had a quarrel with Miss Bai?
Yu Shaoting smoked two cigarettes outside until his throat hurt a little, then he pinched the cigarette butt and went in for the meeting.
Sitting back in his seat, Yu Shaoting leaned on his chair, stared at the slides, and began to lose focus again.
The shareholders looked at the slides for a while, then looked at Yu Shaoting, and turned their heads back and forth, but in the end they heard nothing or saw anything.
——————————
After Yu Shaoting had sex with Bai Xiao in the middle of the night, he looked at the woman below him who was so tired that he fell asleep. His body was obviously sending out signs of fatigue, but his consciousness was very clear.
When she hugged his shoulder blades and gasped repeatedly, those sobs suddenly turned into the words "Mr. Pei", stimulating the nerves in his brain.
No matter how hard he moved, no matter how refreshing his body was, it still couldn't fill the emptiness in his heart.
He did not fall asleep again. He turned his head and looked at the peaceful sleeping face of the woman next to him. He got up and stood in front of the balcony and smoked a whole pack of cigarettes. If he didn't care, he would not be lonely. Only if he cared, he would not be able to resist the jealousy.
She heard another man's name on her lips.
At around five o'clock in the morning, he went downstairs and sat in the living room watching TV, but he flipped through a financial magazine in the drawer of the coffee table.
He casually turned over a page and saw an interview with Pei Qiyou. What attracted him was not the content of the interview, but the way Pei Qiyou was wearing it.
A pink-blue shirt, a burgundy tie... some coincidences collide, which often makes people think bad things.
There is a field to fill in your interests and hobbies at the bottom of the interview.
Regarding the color of the clothes, Pei Qiyou filled in - navy blue British-style suit, burgundy tie, and pink blue shirt.
He remembered that Bai Xiao leaned in his arms that evening, holding the pink blue shirt and saying to him, "I bought it when I saw it and thought it would suit you very well." He also remembered that on the day of the engagement party, he even wore the one she bought specially.
That outfit.
The manager of the planning department was still explaining tremblingly. Yu Shaoting rubbed his temples and stood up, attracting other people's attention.
"Today's meeting will be here first." After saying that, he was the first to leave the conference room under the surprised gaze of everyone.
——————————
Bai Xiao received a bouquet of champagne roses in the morning, which immediately became a hot topic in the office area.
"Wow, who gave it to me!" The female employee sitting next to Bai Xiao came over excitedly: "There seems to be a card."
The card was taken away by a colleague and read out: "Time will never change my deep love for you, the passage of time will only make it deeper!"
Bai Xiao: "..."
Regardless of the words on the card, Bai Xiao ruled out the possibility that this bouquet of flowers was given to him by Yu Shaoting.
He casually gave the rose to an envious female colleague: "Here it is for you, put it on the table for decoration."
After the female colleague took the flowers and returned to her seat happily, Bai Xiao took the card, thought about it, took out her phone, and found that she had turned off her phone. When she turned it on, the fluorescent light on the screen changed. When there was a signal, she immediately
I sent a text message to Yu Shaoting: "Are you still in the meeting?"
I held the phone and waited for a long time, but got no reply for a long time.
It was almost lunch time, and Bai Xiao declined the invitations from other colleagues. She took her bag and took the elevator downstairs, preparing to go to Donglin to stop people.
She didn’t reply to text messages or answer calls, but she just knew that he must be next to the phone!
As for why Yu Shaoting was like this, Bai Xiao couldn't help but think of that dream in the middle of the night. Did she really call Pei Qiyou's name?
Bai Xiao would call Pei Qiyou's name in her dreams. She didn't think it was because she was still thinking about him. She had already let go of Pei Qiyou, but some memories were still there. After all, those were the few happy days in her past years. However,
It's all related to Pei Qiyou.
I left the office building with my heart full of thoughts. It was raining outside, and it was raining heavily.
Bai Xiao held an umbrella and planned to go to the nearby bus stop to take a taxi. When he saw a Lamborghini parked next to the company, he subconsciously took a second look.
Just as he was about to walk past the sports car, the whistle sounded. Bai Xiao stopped, turned around, and saw a man getting out of the driver's seat.
Wearing sunglasses and dressed casually, you can tell at a glance that he is a young man from a wealthy family.
Bai Xiao recognized him at the second glance. He was Pei Qiyou's childhood friend, the one named Zheng Qi. She didn't expect him to be here.
Zheng Qi had already trotted over, hid under Bai Xiao's umbrella, and looked at Bai Xiao with a smile: "Are you off work?"
"..." Bai Xiao thought to himself that they don't seem to be that familiar, so he avoided any physical contact between the two without leaving a trace: "It's lunch break now."
"Do you still like the flowers?"
"..."
"Get in the car, I've booked a French restaurant to treat you to dinner."
Bai Xiao politely refused: "No, I've already made an appointment at noon."
"That's it..." Zheng Qi was a little disappointed, but when he thought about chasing a beautiful and beautiful woman like Bai Xiao, he must remember not to rush in and offend the beauty. He said very considerately: "It's okay, where are you meeting your friend? If you're on your way,
, I’ll take you there.”
Bai Xiao was quite uncomfortable with Zheng Qi's attentiveness: "Thank you, but don't bother me. I can just take a taxi there myself."
"Why is it troublesome?" Zheng Qi took the initiative to take the umbrella from Bai Xiao's hand: "It's the rush hour after get off work at noon, and it's still raining, so it's hard to get a car."
Bai Xiao could see that Zheng Qi might have different thoughts about her, so she refused to get into his car. The two of them were pushing and shoving when a car suddenly passed by quickly and its wheels rolled over a person.
Puddles and dirty rainwater were thrown towards the two people on the roadside unexpectedly.
"Ah -" Bai Xiao's silk stockings were splashed wet, she shivered from the cold, and she exclaimed.
Zheng Qi's shoes and pants were also stained by the splash, but he still saved Bai Xiao heroically and covered Bai Xiao's head with an umbrella: "Are you okay?"
Bai Xiao turned her head, wanting to see the vehicle that caused the accident, but it had disappeared. But for some reason, that look just now made her feel familiar, as if it was golden beach... She shook her head, now as long as she sees golden beach
With the Bentley Continental, she thought it was Yu Shaoting.
"Now that this is the case, why don't I send you home to change clothes first?" Zheng Qi suggested.
Bai Xiao looked down and saw that he was in a mess and his shoes were wet. He felt very uncomfortable, so he stopped trying to excuse himself and said, "I'll trouble you."
After getting in the car, Bai Xiao didn't dare to move around casually. She was dirty and didn't want to get Zheng Qi's car dirty too.
Zheng Qi noticed her restraint and smiled heartily: "We have known each other since childhood. You are so reserved, which makes me uncomfortable."
Bai Xiao curled her lips and didn't answer, still not acting casually.
Zheng Qi turned on the car stereo and played a love song duet between a man and a woman. Bai Xiao remembered the song from a long time ago. When she was in high school, she went to KTV with Pei Qiyou and his gang. At that time, this was what Pei Qiyou sang.
song, because she once said that she liked this love song.
Zheng Qi saw her staring at the stereo and said, "I remember you said you liked this song very much."
When Bai Xiao heard this, he looked away and smiled: "Really? I haven't heard it for many years, and I almost forgot about it."
"Xiaoxiao, are you living alone outside now?" Zheng Qi suddenly asked.
Bai Xiao: "I live with my boyfriend."
Zheng Qi almost stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. He turned to look at Bai Xiao, as if he didn't believe it: "Are you in love?"
Bai Xiao smiled and acquiesced.
"..." Zheng Qi was in a complicated mood. He thought he acted quickly, but he was still a step too late. But after thinking about it carefully, he still had the right to pursue Bai Xiao if the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried. He organized his words and said
: "Xiaoxiao, there is something I want to tell you."
Seeing his hesitation, Bai Xiao probably guessed what he wanted to say. Sure enough, Zheng Qi said: "Xiao Xiao, actually I have always liked you. If you think I am okay, give me a chance to pursue you."
, don’t worry, I’m single now and won’t cause you any trouble.”
Just as Bai Xiao was about to reject him, a streak of golden beach color passed by the corner of her eyes, and her heartbeat stopped.
The next moment, Zheng Qi braked suddenly and cursed, Bai Xiao rushed forward due to inertia and raised his head. On the one-way road, the beach gold Bentley Continental suddenly stopped and directly blocked Zheng Qi's Lamborghini.
The driveway was suddenly jammed and crowded!
Outside the car, cars were honking one after another.
Looking at the familiar license plate number, Bai Xiao's temples hurt a little, and then her cell phone rang.
When I picked up, there was a man's deep voice on the other end. I couldn't tell his emotion at the moment. There were only two words: "...get off the car."
Bai Xiao glanced at Zheng Qi next to her. If she got out of the car now, many things would be known, such as her relationship with Yu Shaoting. But for some reason, Bai Xiao was not willing to let others gossip about her and Yu Shaoting.
Biting her lip, she switched her phone to the right and said, "I'll take a taxi back."
"..." The other person didn't say anything, but Bai Xiao knew that he didn't agree.
Zheng Qi was already impatient, because there was an intersection in front of him, and he was blocked by a car. There was also a car behind him, so he couldn't go back even if he wanted to.
"I told you how to drive." After saying that, Zheng Qi got out of the car and went to teach this person who drove randomly.
