Aftermath of breakup

This time the banquet was held at the Diecui Villa. According to Duan Xinglian, this is a newly developed high-end banquet hall by Fang Ai's family.

The villa is built by the lake, and there are lush forests and bamboos in the garden, and there are many rockery.

This time, the banquet hall was on the island in the middle of the lake. Pei Yi followed Duan Xinglian by boat, and as soon as he landed, while handing out the famous card, another waiter brought two fresh camellias still stained with dew.

Duan Xinglian took the double flower with one hand, tilted his head and asked the people around him softly, "Do you want to wear it on the lapel?"

Pei Yi doesn't like this kind of formal occasion very much. He has been a little uncomfortable since he went to try on a suit, and now he feels more tired than doing ten hours of experiments.

After seeing the flower, I couldn't help shaking my head: "No need."

Duan Xinglian saw that he was not used to it, but he couldn't hold it back after all, and coaxed in a low voice: "It's hard for you, bear with it, half an hour at most, okay?"

Although Duan Xinglian has been very polite to him recently, he is also quite calm and indifferent, suddenly so gentle, Pei Yi glanced at him in surprise.

But in the blink of an eye, he looked at the seemingly invisible gaze not far away, and he understood.

He nodded and didn't say much.

Duan Xinglian smiled at him, holding the flower with his right hand, but opened his left hand to Pei Yi.

Pei Yi looked at Duan Xinglian's slender fingers, and was taken aback for a moment, but finally he pulled them up.

When the palms touched, there was a familiar warmth and strength. Pei Yi lowered his eyes and was dragged by Duan Xinglian through the corridor.

When he arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, Duan Xinglian casually threw the flowers on the tray beside him.

The next moment, I saw a middle-aged man with a red face walking towards him with a smile.

"Xiao Duan, long time no see, long time no see, thank you for your kind visit!"

Although there is Duan Chengsen in front of Duan Xinglian, but Duan Xinglian has emerged recently, even though he is younger, he is already not to be ignored.

People in the business field have always understood the principle that the wave behind pushes the wave ahead, and this time the invitation was also handed directly to Duan Xinglian.

After a few words of politeness, the other party turned his gaze and landed on Pei Yi who was beside Duan Xinglian, and asked a proper question: "Who is this?"

From the moment they came in, who didn't see their intimate gesture hand in hand?But anyone with a discerning eye also understands in his heart at this moment.

And it's nothing to ask from the host's side, it's also an opportunity to introduce Duan Xinglian, many thoughtful people listened more and more to the news here.

Duan Xinglian smiled and glanced at Pei Yi, his attitude was partial and frank, and he said bluntly: "Pei Yi, my love."

The tone was firm and the wording was solemn. As soon as this title was spoken, the people around felt that it was so, and felt a little regretful, but they had to withdraw all the calculations in their minds for the time being.

But he didn't want to be apart from them, Pei Yi's heart was also shaken suddenly, these two words were like a torrent of bells, knocking out the lingering sound that could not stop for a long time.

But he was only in a trance for a moment, and he knew that Duan Xinglian's scene could not be stopped at this moment, so he temporarily restrained his mind.

At the same time, Duan Xinglian pretended to go through the process with Pei Yi and introduced him: "Pei Yi, this is Mr. He from Hongyuan Technology. He is currently engaged in the business of the metal material sector."

Hearing this, Pei Yi nodded politely towards the other party.

Pei Yi's appearance is excellent, and his temperament is also very outstanding. Standing beside Duan Xinglian at this moment, the two are like a pair of lovers.

So even though the attitude is a bit colder at the moment, it doesn't make people feel that there is anything wrong. This He Hongyuan and Mr. He are obviously the same, and he apologized again and again: "Mr. Pei, hello, hello, forgive me for asking presumptuously! Self-punishment three cups!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank three glasses in a row with pride.

Duan Xinglian couldn't disrespect the other party, he agreed on Pei Yi's behalf, and drank the champagne in his hand.

Seeing this situation, He Hongyuan raised the other party's position in Duan Xinglian's heart a bit, and then took the initiative to argue with the other party: "Mr. Pei, I heard Mr. Duan just said that you are also in this field. Dare I ask where?" High?"

Pei Yi answered plainly: "No, it's just a little contact."

Then I didn't say much, but Duan Xinglian continued: "He graduated from J University with a Ph.D., majoring in polymers, and is planning to engage in scientific research."

There was an inexplicable sense of pride in his tone.

He Hongyuan started with a shallow education, and when he heard this, his eyes became more admirable, and he praised Pei Yi even more.

It was so hyped up that Pei Yi couldn't stand it.

He glanced at Duan Xinglian as if asking for help, Duan Xinglian raised his eyebrows resignedly, and took He Hongyuan's words.

But after a while, I saw a few more people walking towards them.

Seeing this, Duan Xinglian leaned over slightly, leaned into Pei Yi's ear and whispered: "Go out in the corridor on the left and enjoy the wind by the lake. It's a nice night here. Wait for me, I'll come to you later, okay? "

Pei Yi's ears were itchy from the smell, but he felt as if he had been pardoned when he heard the words, and quickly agreed.

When he let go, whether intentionally or not, Duan Xinglian hooked his little finger.

Pei Yi, on the other hand, followed the waiter's instructions, turned around and cut off all the scrutinizing eyes in the banquet hall.

As he was walking towards the lake, he thought, it seemed that Duan Xinglian asked him to help him for this favor before, it was not unreasonable, and there seemed to be too many people staring at Duan Xinglian.

More popular than ever.

Pei Yi walked out of the side door, and there was a lake view platform outside. Pei Yi stood on the edge of the railing and blew the wind for a while, which washed away a lot of the depression just now. When he moved his ears, he heard a faint voice.

"Didn't I not let you talk about it? Otherwise, how would he know that I gave you the resources! He even came to me!"

Pei Yi didn't hear a rustle behind her, but he heard the voice a little familiar, so he took a few steps to the side.

Sure enough, I saw a person squatting there in the shadow of the corner. When the person looked up and saw someone, he was probably guilty and startled. As soon as he let go, the phone slid directly from the railing into the lake.

Pei Yi: "..."

Pei Yi stood aside, feeling a little embarrassed.

And the other party looked sadly at a lake that soon returned to calm after the sound, and there was a trace of serenity in the back.

Pei Yi didn't expect this to happen, and said apologetically, "Shao Yu, I'm sorry."

Shao Yu's clenched fists loosened when he heard the voice. He turned around and found that it was Pei Yi. He immediately put the matter behind him and said pleasantly, "Pei Yi! Why are you here?"

Then when he saw Pei Yi's outfit today, his eyes lit up, and he immediately boasted, "You look good today!"

"I came here with Duan Xinglian." After Pei Yi finished speaking, he asked suspiciously, "What are you doing squatting there?"

And also very nervous.

Shao Yu was dumbfounded when he heard the words, he blinked, and replied somewhat unnaturally: "Call, call."

But when he said this, he realized what Pei Yi said just now, his eyes fixed, and he blurted out: "Are you reconciled?"

Pei Yi paused, lowered his eyes and shook his head: "No, I can help you."

"What help?"

Pei Yi, who has always been outspoken, hesitated because of this, and felt that it was a bit difficult to speak, so he seldom hesitated: "Just...help."

Shao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, feeling that the matter was not simple.

Pei Yi then changed the subject: "Why are you here?"

"My dad asked me to come." Shao Yu was suspicious, but his phone was sacrificed, so he couldn't send a message to inquire about the news for the time being, so he could only continue to state, "Xiaoai and Siwei will come later."

Lin Siwei, as the son of the Lin family, is also a rookie in the political circle, and Fang Ai's family is the organizer, so they are naturally invited.

It's just that the two of them didn't intend to come, but Shao Yu's father insisted on him coming this morning, so he hurriedly brought them together as companions. Fortunately, both of them are free today.

But recently, he thought that Duan Xinglian might be distracted by Pei Yi's affairs, so he didn't dare to disturb him too much.

But I didn't want Duan Xinglian to move so fast and drag people to this banquet!

Shao Yu felt something was wrong.

But at this moment, when Pei Yi heard the words, he only replied softly: "Yes."

Seeing that Pei Yi didn't intend to see more, Shao Yu didn't say any more.

-

At the same time, in the banquet hall, Fang Ai and Lin Siwei, who had arrived and experienced a round of social interaction, also noticed something strange.

As well informed as Fang Ai, he soon learned from other people that Duan Xinglian brought a companion today, and that companion was his lover, Duan Xinglian treated her very dearly, and that lover was Pei Yi.

Fang Ai and Lin Siwei were shocked by this, they looked at the gap, and pulled Duan Xinglian to the corner. Shocked, they asked the same question as Shao Yu: "Are you reconciled?"

Duan Xinglian leaned against the balcony railing, was silent for a while, and finally said bluntly: "No, contract."

Then Duan Xinglian roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter, Fang Ai and Lin Siwei looked at each other after hearing this, but Lin Si didn't say why.

Fang Ai asked incomprehensibly, "What are you doing?"

Duan Xing lowered his eyes, and after a while he said sullenly: "I didn't intend to do this at first, but I think he still has me in his heart."

They broke up at that time, which was jointly promoted by both parties and the families behind them. He also knew that this was an unsolvable problem at the time. Good choice.

Since the breakup, Duan Xinglian has never dared to expect anything extravagantly; moreover, after so many years, even if there is something by chance, it should be lightened.

But at the cooperation meeting that day, he suddenly heard that Pei Yi had never been in a relationship in these years, and a burst of desire rose uncontrollably in his heart. He couldn't help but think that perhaps in Pei Yi's heart, he had a bigger role than he imagined. The weight of it is bigger, so when he saw Pei Yi go and come back that night, he didn't hold back and made this seemingly absurd suggestion.

Fang Ai and Lin Siwei watched how Duan Xinglian survived these past few years, and knew what Pei Yi meant to Duan Xinglian.

But Fang Ai still didn't understand, and asked: "If this is the case, then you can talk about it, or you can work hard and pursue it seriously, can't you?"

Duan Xinglian shook his head, fixed his eyes on the lake reflecting the flowing light, pondered for a while, and finally expressed some thoughts he didn't want to admit: "To be honest, I blame him a little bit."

Over the years, Duan Xinglian has had a hard time without complaints in his heart, even today, he is still somewhat depressed.

So after knowing that Pei Yi might have him in his heart, besides being overjoyed, there was also some secret pleasure in his heart.

And proposing that contract is also a temptation.

In the end, Pei Yi really agreed.

but……

Duan Xinglian covered his face and sighed, then replied softly: "But it's more about fear."

After so many years, Duan Xinglian actually knew about Pei Yi's problem, so he was afraid that Pei Yi would give up on him, or that Pei Yi would leave.

But he was also afraid that Pei Yi would simply agree, and then they would make the same mistakes again.

So he can't be blunt, he needs to solve things one by one slowly, and before that, he has to keep people first.

Duan Xinglian knew that his approach was not open enough, but he had no choice.

Fang Ai heard that, she didn't know if it was right, she glanced at Lin Siwei, Lin Siwei shook her head at her, and then said: "Like a person who knows how warm or cold the water is, Xing Lian, I just hope you get your wish. "

Duan Xing frowned, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The atmosphere was momentarily stagnant. Fang Ai didn't want to do this. She laughed and said jokingly, "We're afraid that you'll get into a corner and do it on purpose, and then dump him once, right?"

The previous two times were considered to be Pei Yi's initiative to break up. It's normal for Duan Xing to hold back his anger. Anyway, Fang Ai felt that she would definitely not do it if she was replaced, and she would have to save some face if she died.

But it was obvious that Duan Xinglian was different from her.

Duan Xinglian glanced at her speechlessly: "Am I crazy?"

Fang Ai replied with a smile: "That's right, we are different, that's why I am a widowed king who has been well-educated all the way."

Duan Xinglian couldn't help but said, "Pei Yi is about to graduate with a Ph.D."

Fang Ai: "..." What are you showing off?

Lin Siwei held back a laugh.

At the same time, I also thought that no matter how hard they struggled, as long as people came back, they would always be heading in a good direction.

-

After they finished chatting here, Duan Xinglian only went back to the banquet hall to say hello to He Hongyuan, and then left first.

Because Fang Ai and Lin Si came late, they didn't make it for a while, and Duan Xinglian went outside to the lake view platform alone.

It turned out that Pei Yi and Shao Yu were sitting together with a mobile phone playing matchmaker, and Shao Yu was smiling on Pei Yi's shoulder, looking very affectionate.

Although Duan Xinglian didn't stay in there for a long time just now, but mixed with all kinds of wine, he became more energetic at this moment, and almost didn't recognize Shao Yu, so he was taken aback.

In the end, Duan Xinglian threw Shao Yu into the banquet hall and left with Pei Yi.

Still going back by boat, when Duan Xinglian boarded the boat, his footsteps shook slightly, and Pei Yi quickly supported him.

"Are you OK?"

Although Duan Xinglian was a little dizzy, it was not to the point where he could not stand still.

But he didn't stand up straight immediately, instead he put half of his strength on Pei Yi, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Seeing that his brows were slightly frowned, Pei Yi obviously had a little too much to drink, so he helped him to the side and sat down, thinking, it seems that he still can't drink enough.

Later, Pei Yi didn't let go, and Duan Xinglian didn't move either.

Pei Yi helped him into his car all the way.

The driver didn't ask where he was going, and just drove the car out.

At first, Duan Xinglian leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, the car window was open, Pei Yi looked at the neon lights flashing by outside the window, and watched those lights hit Duan Xinglian's handsome facial features, and suddenly understood why So many people wanted to introduce someone to Duan Xinglian.

Pei Yi quietly traced Duan Xinglian's eyebrows, but at the same time, he also paid attention to the surrounding road conditions.

When passing a traffic light, Pei Yi went forward to ask the driver where it was, and didn't pay attention to Duan Xinglian's slightly raised mouth.

After hearing the driver's answer, Pei Yi passed another two intersections, saw the direction approaching Shili, and then said, "Please pull over, I'm here..."

But before he finished speaking, there was a sudden weight on his shoulders.

Duan Xinglian didn't know if it was uncomfortable to lean against the back of the chair, so he leaned on his shoulder.

And it's very reliable, as soon as Pei Yi leaves, he will definitely wake up.

At this moment, the driver stepped aside, turned around and asked, "Mr. Pei, do you want to stop here?"

Pei Yi looked at the hair spinning on his shoulders, hesitated for a while, and finally said softly: "Forget it, let's go on."

The driver didn't say anything, and just kept going, all the way to an underground parking lot in a high-end residential area.

At this time, Xing Lian didn't know if his drunkenness really came up, and he was a little confused.

Fortunately, the driver knew which floor Duan Xing lived on. Pei Yi found the room card in his pocket and helped him up with the driver.

This community is one household per elevator, and the driver only helped people to the elevator room and left.

Before leaving, he said, "Mr. Pei, please take care of Mr. Duan tonight."

Pei Yi didn't intend to stay at first, but the driver turned around and left, and he didn't even have time to speak when he wanted to stay.

At the same time, without the support of one person, Duan Xinglian tended to be wobbly and about to fall.

Pei Yi was unprepared and hurriedly pulled him, but he couldn't stand still and leaned back against the wall.

But Duan Xinglian lay face to face with him directly, Duan Xinglian didn't stand up straight, bent slightly, his chin rested on Pei Yi's shoulder in aggrieved way, his breathing gradually became calm, as if he fell asleep again.

Pei Yi never expected the hug to come so suddenly, he was between the wall and Duan Xinglian, his eyelashes trembled slightly, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could hug Duan Xinglian tightly.

But Pei Yi blinked, and finally, in a trance, whispered an irrelevant sentence in his ear, but it was the first time he mentioned about the missed years.

"Duan Xinglian, did you grow taller later?"
