His eyes were bloodshot and sinister, but he still managed a slow smile. "These words from your mouth have no credibility at all."

"You don't believe me?"

He had been playing with the cup in the man's hand when it landed on the wood table. He had been leaning back in his chair, but now he straightened up and put one hand on his lap, glancing at Jia Yushu with a faint smile. "Unfortunately, if you had asked me that question one day earlier, I might not have been able to refute it, but I've only been to the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning. If you want to see it, I don't mind letting you see it for yourself."

His confidence, his certainty.

Even the faint smile on his face when he held the guarantee caused Jia Yu Shu to be momentarily absent-minded.

His heart was wavering, uneasy. He had never thought of this possibility. He had never thought that the woman he cared about the most would appear on another man's ditty one day. If what he said was true …

Jia Yu Shu withdrew his gaze and looked towards Pei Luoyi. With just a single glance, he choked on his question.

His pupils violently trembled.

Pei Luoyi held her chin in one hand and the red book she had taken out from her bag with the other. She carelessly smiled and said, "I just got it, and it's still warm. Do you want to take a closer look?"

As she said this, seeing that Jia Yu Shu only stared at her with no other reaction, her eyebrows pricked up. "Kind" opened the cover page, revealing the registration information and the large red background photo.

As Jia Yu Shu watched, the violent fluctuations in his eyes from the start gradually turned from shock to tranquility. Like stagnant water, it was calm without the slightest ripple.

Something sank into the depths of his eyes and disappeared into the darkness. His clenched fists were powerless to release it.

"Oh, that's right," Pei Luoyi said as she closed the marriage certificate and put it back in her bag, as if she was not paying attention to anything, "You just said that I won't answer your call, so I forgot to tell you that your number is currently lying on my phone's blacklist. If you really need me for anything, you can use my sister's phone to call me."

She zipped up her bag and looked up to see the man still standing there with a blank face. She gave another helpless laugh. I'd like to have a pleasant lunch with my husband, thank you. "

Nothing could be changed if he stayed any longer. Jia Yu Shu took a last deep look at the woman's heartless smile and almost muddle-headedly descended the stairs.

After his figure had disappeared from their sight, Pei Luoyi heard the man sitting across the table laugh unhurriedly, "It seems that your luck was quite bad. If it weren't for your sister's matter, I think it would've been a wise decision for you to choose such a devoted man."

She glanced at him sideways, retracting all those small expressions that didn't seem to fit in, leaving behind only a cold expression and a clearly bad mood. "Head of the Palace, I just said that I want to have a pleasant lunch, you heard it, right?"

Originally, because of Jia Yu Shu's appearance, her appetite had been reduced by half. Now, she didn't want to get angry at this man at all. Otherwise, if the dishes were served later, she wouldn't be able to eat at all.

Gong Yan's lips curved up in a smile, and he did not speak for a long while. He took a sip of the fresh tea, and then continued calmly, "It's just a hypothesis, did you not think about it? If you were the one who married him, you wouldn't be forced to take my license today. "

Hearing this, Pei Luoyi couldn't help but let out a smile. Her eyes were half closed, and she couldn't clearly see the emotions behind them, "So what if I've thought about it or not? Since it has already become a reality, thinking about it is meaningless."

She was smiling, but somehow it made people feel a little sour.

Gong Yan looked at the girl's quiet appearance quietly, a dark light flashed across his dark, bottomless eyes.

"..."

It was rush hour for lunch, and the dining room was almost full. People came and went, and it was rather noisy.

When Pei Jingman arrived, there weren't many people. She specially chose a corner near the window and found it to be slightly quieter.

Today's weather was different from the previous few days. At this time, there was even a bit of sunlight that penetrated through the layers of clouds and landed on her dining table.

She put her hand on the table and blinked at the light. She came back from her distant thoughts and lowered her head to look.

It turned out that the sun was shining on her left index finger, and the diamonds she had worn when she was married now reflected a brilliant, mottled glow.

He raised his hand and touched it. It felt real, but his mood was ethereal.

The chair opposite him was suddenly pulled apart, and the man who had been waiting for a long time sat down.

She came back to her senses and said with a gentle smile, "Why did you leave for so long?"

Jia Yu Shu's expression did not change as he faintly nodded. His face had a visible absent-mindedness. "I met an acquaintance just now and exchanged a few pleasantries."

Pei Jingman looked at him and pursed her lips. However, her smile maintained its usual gentleness, "Really …" The dishes are here, hurry up and eat. I heard that the dishes in this restaurant are very well-cooked, you can have a taste. "

As she spoke, she picked up a pair of chopsticks and placed it into the man's bowl, but he didn't move his chopsticks at all.

The smile on her face finally faded. She clenched her chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?" Don't you have an appetite? "

Jia Yu Shu raised his head upon hearing the sound and looked at the gentle and beautiful smiling face in front of him. Only then did he realize that his absent-mindedness was too obvious.

As he spoke, he picked up the dish that the woman had placed in the bowl and sent it into his mouth, chewing on it like it was wax.

Pei Jingman nodded her head. The instant she lowered her head, her eyes dimmed for a moment before returning to normal.

The two of them maintained a tacit understanding of each other as they quietly ate their meals.

Perhaps it was due to the woman's sensitive intuition, Pei Jingman clearly knew that the man's current thoughts were not on her, and not even on the meal.

Perhaps … She had already drifted to somewhere on the second floor. After all, she had seen the figure of her younger sister when she went up.

He pursed his lips into a bitter smile.

On the anniversary of her wedding anniversary, she had expected to spend the special day happily, but she had lost.

With a fleeting shadow, she captured the man's mind and body from top to bottom.

She was like a joke.

Halfway through, she couldn't eat anymore. The food was delicious and tasty, but all she could taste was bitterness.

She raised her head to look at the man. He didn't seem to notice that she had already put down her bowl and chopsticks. He just mechanically ate his own food.

With a lump in his throat, Pei Jingman finally spoke up, "Shall we go shopping later?" "There seems to be a new shopping mall nearby, just right at home …"

"Sorry, the company still has some matters to attend to, so I won't be going."

Jia Yu Shu put down his bowl and chopsticks and ended this incomparably lonely meal. Then, he casually took out his wallet, took out a card, and handed it to the woman. His voice was so faint that one couldn't hear his emotions, "If you want to go around, find a friend to accompany you, I'll go back to the company first."
