Chapter 47: Can’t Forget, Still Love Him?

At this moment, Jian Jinci glanced at the time on her phone. A message suddenly popped up at the top of her phone.

Pei Yanzhou: [Right, get in the car]

She looked to the right. Pei Yanzhou was sitting in the driver’s seat, his arm bent and resting on the car window, his dark eyes unfathomable, staring intently at her.

How did he get here?

She quickly typed a few words on her phone and sent them.

Jian Jinci: [Not tonight, I’m with a friend.]

Pei Yanzhou opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards her. Jian Jinci watched his figure getting closer and closer, and she panicked. She quickly typed a few words on her phone and sent them.

Jian Jinci: [I’m going, I’ll be right there, wait for me.]

Pei Yanzhou stopped when he saw the message. Jian Jinci breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Xi saw her nervous expression and asked, “Aci, what’s wrong?”

“No… nothing.” Jian Jinci came back to her senses and hailed a car on her phone. “I called you a car.”

Yan Xi held Jian Jinci’s arm and acted cute. “Aci, you’re coming with me tonight. You haven’t favored me in a long time.”

She leaned her head on Jian Jinci’s shoulder. Jian Jinci glanced at the man not far away. “Not tonight, I have something to do when I get back.”

Yan Xi’s head left her shoulder. She looked at her for a few seconds. “Something to do?”

“Aci, you wouldn’t be hiding a man from me, would you? You weren’t like this before.”

“Why are you saying the same thing as that stinky kid Axiu?” Jian Jinci didn’t have a man hidden, but for some reason, she felt inexplicably guilty. “You two are talking nonsense. It’s impossible for me to hide a man.”

Yan Xi looked at her meaningfully, a smile on her lips. “Guilty.”

“Definitely guilty. You look like this when you’re guilty.”

The car Jian Jinci called had arrived. Yan Xi said, “I’m going first.”

“You… take care of yourself, don’t work too hard.”

Jian Jinci: “…”

It seemed like a normal sentence, but she heard something else in it.

She watched Yan Xi get in the car. “Call me when you get there.”

Yan Xi gave an OK gesture. The driver drove away. She watched the taxi disappear from sight, turned her head and looked at Pei Yanzhou standing not far away. He had a lit cigarette between his fingers, flickering on and off. He wasn’t smoking, just looking down at her.

Jian Jinci walked towards him. Pei Yanzhou looked up at her, then lowered his head and extinguished the cigarette in his fingers, throwing it into the trash can.

She stood opposite Pei Yanzhou. She looked up at him. “Why are you here?”

“Why? Can’t I come?” Pei Yanzhou’s eyes were deep and cold, his gaze on her was icy. “Did my appearance delay Miss Jian’s business?”

Pei Yanzhou’s words left her confused. There was a coldness in the depths of his eyes, and his expression was devoid of any emotion. After spending time with him before, she realized that this man was angry.

She said, “Pei Yanzhou, speak clearly.”

She didn’t know what happened with his random words.

Pei Yanzhou’s eyes were filled with coldness.

Before Pei Yanzhou could speak, the screen of her phone kept flashing. Her phone was on silent, and she knew there were messages.

She unlocked her phone. She had just replied to Pei Yanzhou’s message, but she didn’t exit WeChat and directly turned off her phone. As soon as she unlocked it, she went straight to WeChat.

Her WeChat top list was Yan Xi and Jian Xiu, below Yan Xi and Jian Xiu was a message from Song Xuchen. She was puzzled. Didn’t she already block Song Xuchen?

Song Xuchen had sent her over ten messages. The first few were questions.
