Chapter 111 Tangled
Qi Ke ran away.
Ning Xingluo and Pei Yuhan were the only two people left on the terrace, and the glass door was wide open, swaying in the night wind.
Ning Xingluo was still savoring the kiss.
This was Ning Xingluo's first kiss, and also Pei Yuhan's first kiss. It didn't feel like a kiss, but more like a large carnivore tasting its prey. It started with a lick, and no one knew when he would take a bite.
"I'm sorry." Pei Yuhan said suddenly.
"No, it's okay."
Ning Xingluo came back to her senses and found herself still leaning on Pei Yuhan's chest. She didn't know what to say, so she pushed him away, blushing and lowering her head, not daring to look at Pei Yuhan at all.
In that kiss just now, she was just surprised and didn't resist at all.
She was sure that she did have different feelings for Pei Yuhan.
Pei Yuhan recalled his rare impulse just now, and couldn't help feeling a little shy: "I was too impulsive just now, actually..."
"Boss Pei? Why are you standing here? The auction is about to start."
Pei Yuhan was about to say something when a middle-aged man with a particularly smooth forehead suddenly appeared.
"Ah, the lady is here too, sorry to bother you."
Pei Yuhan's face darkened: "You know I'm disturbing you, why don't you just go away?" Today, even if the king of heaven came, he couldn't interrupt him again!
"Ah? Ahh, let's go now!"
The middle-aged man fled in panic.
Pei Yuhan took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and continued:
"Xingluo, I want to tell you that I like you."
"In fact, I have already fallen in love with you since a long time ago, before I even realized it."
"I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time, but I always get interrupted."
Ning Xingluo: “…”
Within a few minutes, she was confessed to by two men in a row and experienced a particularly intense first kiss. Her brain had shut down.
"Xingluo, you don't have to rush to give me an answer. I was too impulsive just now. I should have waited for your consent before..."
"Boss Pei, the auction is about to start. Shall I take you there?"
Pei Yuhan didn't know whether his luck today was good or bad. He had just said a few words when someone came to interrupt him again.
This time it was a waiter.
Without waiting for Pei Yuhan to say anything else, Ning Xingluo pulled Pei Yuhan's sleeve and said, "Then, shall we go?"
Pei Yuhan sighed slightly and followed Ning Xingluo's force to leave the terrace.
It’s okay, the most important things have been made clear, and as for the rest, he has plenty of time.
……
Ning Xingluo didn't want to escape, but after calming down from the kiss, she was still very confused.
Her childhood experiences have shaped her pessimistic character. When good things happen, she tends to think of the bad side of things.
Pei Yuhan also likes her, which is of course a good thing.
However, there is still that agreement between them.
Moreover, their social status, identity, and family background are so different. Just relying on Pei Yuhan's love...how far can they go?
What's more, Ning Xingluo has a secret that cannot be told.
……
At the auction, Ning Xingluo was still daydreaming and in a trance the whole time.
She agreed to everything Pei Yuhan asked, and when she came to her senses, she found that Pei Yuhan had bought all the items she had agreed to.
When she was about to leave, she saw two waiters pushing a small cart and moving the things on it into a truck one by one.
Ning Xingluo was somewhat incredulous: "What are these things?"
"They are all the items that were auctioned just now. I didn't know which one you liked best, so I bought them all." Pei Yuhan said this lightly.
Ning Xingluo looked at the list and knew that there was nothing particularly cheap at this auction. The starting price of the cheapest item was also hundreds of thousands.
She spotted a cylinder among a pile of boxes.
This shape is used to store scrolls.
She remembered that there was only one painting in the entire auction, and it was an ancient painting.
The reason why it was so impressive was that this ancient painting had the highest starting price in the entire auction.
2000 million.
Although it was not his own money, Ning Xingluo couldn't help but reveal a painful expression.
"What do I need this for?"
No wonder the organizer's face was as smiling as a chrysanthemum when he saw them off.
----------------------
When I got home, Haohao had already fallen asleep.
Ever since he held hands with Ning Xingluo without being rejected, Pei Yuhan always held Ning Xingluo's hand whenever he had the chance tonight, and this time was no exception.
When Uncle Pei saw how close the two of them were, he knew that Pei Yuhan must have coaxed Ning Xingluo into submission.
After giving Pei Yuhan a wink, he left quietly.
The young couple had just reconciled and they must have a lot to talk about, so an old man like him wouldn't get involved.
After Uncle Pei left, they were the only two left in the empty living room.
Ning Xingluo took the initiative to suggest: "Let's talk."
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Pei Yuhan agreed happily. "Why don't we go to the terrace of my room? The view is great over there. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat, and you go get a bottle of wine, okay?"
……
Walking into the wine cellar, Ning Xingluo suddenly hesitated a little, and suddenly he didn't want to say the words of rejection he had prepared.
What's wrong with them being like this?
You don't have to make it too clear, just let her enjoy the feeling of being in love.
Anyway, when the agreement expires, Pei Yuhan will give her a large sum of money, so she can live her life to the fullest and not worry about anything else.
No matter who Pei Yuhan married in the first place, isn’t she Ning Xingluo now?
Perhaps because he had stayed in the wine cellar for too long, Pei Yuhan suddenly sent a message: "Why haven't you come up yet?"
Ning Xingluo calmed himself down, picked up a bottle of red wine and went upstairs.
Pei Yuhan has already decorated the terrace.
Pei Yuhan would occasionally read here on weekdays, so the terrace was always kept clean, and there was a small table and two comfortable sofa chairs.
The appetizers just taken out of the refrigerator were still steaming, with many water droplets condensing on the edges of the plates. Two glass goblets and a decanter were placed in the middle of the table, and the only remaining space was just enough for a bottle of wine.
The weather is nice tonight, the moonlight is bright, and the roof of the terrace is rolled up. Even without turning on the lights, you can clearly see the facial features of the person opposite you.
The moonlight softened the facial lines of both of them, and Pei Yuhan, who was usually very serious, looked a lot gentler.
The two of them sat down, and Pei Yuhan slowly poured the purple-red wine into the decanter. During the waiting time, neither of them spoke a word, they just sat there quietly.
Under the moonlight, from Pei Yuhan's perspective, Ning Xingluo's eyes seemed to be glowing.
When he was almost sober, Pei Yuhan poured Ning Xingluo a glass and spoke first:
"Let me talk about Shi Shanqing first."
