Now that she had changed her WeChat account details and given him her number, she should be able to leave, right?
Lin Yan put on a pitiful expression, as though she was a palace maid waiting for the emperor to dismiss her.
Pei Yucheng glanced at his watch and said, “I have a meeting later. I might not have time for you.”
Great!
Lin Yan’s mood blossomed like a sunflower in the sun. Although she was delighted, she continued pretending to look sorry and reluctant that they would have to part ways. She said, “Don’t worry, it’s fine. Work is more important. You don’t have to worry about me. I’m also preparing for my new role. In that case, I’ll leave first so that I won’t disturb you!”
Pei Yucheng replied, “Hold on.”
Lin Yan was speechless…
Hold on? She didn’t want to wait anymore!
Who knew what would happen if she had to stay here?
She had merely said a few sentences, yet they had ended up in a relationship. If they continued conversing, were they going to get a marriage license shortly?
Lin Yan was stiff as she remained immobile.
The man rose from the couch and bent his back as he stood next to her. His long-fingered hands pressed against her thighs.
Lin Yan was speechless!
When he pressed his palms against her thighs, she couldn’t help but shudder, even though there was a layer of fabric between his hand and her thigh.
What was going on?
Suddenly, the man casually spoke with a hint of a teasing attitude in his voice. “Aren’t your legs numb?”
Lin Yan finally realized that, after kneeling for so long, her legs had indeed turned numb. Any slight movement she made caused her pain.
She hadn’t realized it, yet Pei Yucheng had…
As the man spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and propped a knee on the couch. Then, he assumed a half-kneeling position as he gently massaged her legs.
Pei Yucheng controlled his strength well, so the numbness soon vanished.
Pei Yucheng was someone she could only imagine seeing on TV or in a financial magazine. He was a man dozens of planets away from Pei Nanxu…
However, this man had bent his back and half-knelt in front of her…
He was handsome, gorgeous, rich, gentle and considerate!
What kind of celestial boyfriend was he?
She had a sudden whim to forsake all her fortune for the man before her…
Lin Yan hastily shook her head as she was jolted back to her senses. “Ahem, I’m fine. Thank you… Thank you…”
That sudden whim was like an alarm that jolted Lin Yan awake. She hastily bade him goodbye and left swiftly. “Now… I’m leaving…”
After saying that, Lin Yan left the mansion.
A while after the girl left, Pei Yucheng walked to his bedroom. He removed his bathrobe and put on a white shirt, casually buttoning a few buttons.
Then, he sat down on a chair and lit a cigarette.
Wisps of smoke appeared as the man’s eyes looked like the depths of the ocean.
The man seemed to enter a deep reverie. He was completely motionless. He didn’t even realize that his cigarette was burning down to its end.
After some time, the man snuffed out the cigarette and opened the first drawer of a cabinet. He took out two small red books.
The words ‘Marriage Certificate’ were on the cover of the first book. He gently flipped it open. The man in the photo had a rare, gentle smile on his face, while the girl beside him was smiling with twinkling eyes like a blossoming flower.
