"Didn't I promise you? How could I not come?" Pei Qingcheng held Tang Kexin's hand and walked towards the parking lot. "Why are you back so soon?" Didn't you just go to England yesterday? "
"Grandmother is fine now, but I'm back now. Aren't I still missing you?" Tang Kexin made a face at Pei Qingcheng. "I've only been gone for a day and you've already changed tremendously. If I were to walk a few more days, you might not even know me."
"Who said that?" Pei Qingcheng snickered and opened the door. "Get in!"
Tang Kexin sat in the front passenger seat while Pei Qingcheng drove.
Tang Kexin put on her seat belt and thoughtfully asked, "Ye Juan suddenly agreed to help you. Did he ask you for anything?"
"Yes." Pei Qingcheng pondered for a moment, "He told me to stay in Zhuang Sheng's Dream."
"What? Did you agree?" Tang Kexin was so excited that she almost jumped up from her seat.
"I'll agree to half of it. I promised him to stay there for a year, and then I'll leave after one year."
Tang Kexin did not say a word, but remained silent the whole way.
Pei Qingcheng drove the car and turned her head to look at Tang Kexin. "Where are you going to eat tonight?"
"Oh." Tang Kexin then snapped out of her daze. "Whatever!"
"Whatever. Didn't you say you'd help me celebrate tonight?"
"You've already lost a year of freedom. What's there to celebrate?"
"Then forget it, just comfort me, who's about to go to jail!"
"Why would a place like the Zhuang Sheng's Dream go to jail? How many girls dream of such a place! " Tang Kexin's tone was strange, Pei Qingcheng could not help but look at her. "Why do you say that? Didn't you always scorn that place? "
"Oh, no!" Tang Kexin smiled. "It's a joke. Let's go eat steak then!"
"Tonight, I want to eat hotpot and then drink beer. I won't leave until I'm drunk!" Pei Qingcheng raised her arm and shouted.
They arrived at a hot pot restaurant in Chongqing. As soon as they entered the restaurant, the smell of spicy food assaulted their nostrils.
Pei Qingcheng took a deep breath. "I want to have a good meal tonight!"
However, Tang Kexin seemed to be absent-minded and thoughtful all night.
"What's wrong with you?" Pei Qingcheng pushed her. "Why are you so distracted?"
"It's fine, I'll order." Tang Kexin picked up the menu and started ordering.
The dishes were served and the wine was served. Pei Qingcheng poured a full cup for both herself and Tang Kexin, then lifted them up to meet her. "I hope I can get out of this cage as soon as possible!"
"Qing Qing, getting out of the cage as soon as possible is easy, as long as you don't go in. He's already replenished the Pei's anyway, why do you still need to go back?"
"I promised him. Furthermore, when I go back on my word, Ye Juan will have plenty of ways to put Pei's in danger once again." Pei Qingcheng lowered her eyes, but she quickly pulled herself together and downed all the wine in her cup. "I won't say anymore. Drink!"
Tang Kexin sipped her wine and stared at Pei Qingcheng.
Pei Qingcheng drank a lot, but Tang Kexin didn't drink much.
Only when Pei Qingcheng was slightly drunk did Tang Kexin press her arm down. "Qing Qing, Qing Qing, are you drunk?"
"Hmm? "No." Pei Qingcheng showed an innocent smile while stroking her cheeks.
Only when she was drunk could she smile like this.
Tang Kexin placed a few bills on the table and helped Pei Qingcheng up. "Qing Qing, you're drunk. I'll send you back."
She helped Pei Qingcheng out of the hotpot store and into the car, then started Pei Qingcheng's car and drove towards Zhuang Sheng's Dream.
Zhuang Sheng's Dream, the most mysterious and enchanting place of Mo City.
Everyone knew that Ye Juan had built it for a single person.
Other than her, no other woman could enter.
And she, Tang Kexin, could only stand at the door and wait for Pei Qingcheng two years ago. That was the first time she was the closest to the Zhuang Sheng's Dream.
This time, was Tang Kexin's chance to openly step into the Zhuang Sheng's Dream.
She looked back at the hazy Pei Qingcheng sleeping in the back seat and immediately turned around to continue driving.
Ye Juan was in a spacious room that did not match his temperament.
The steward hurriedly reported from the door, "Sir, Madam has returned. She was delivered by a girl. Furthermore," The steward paused for a moment. "Madam is drunk."
Ye Juan was tidying up some of his belongings. When Pei Qingcheng came in, he was going to move some of his personal belongings to the guest room.
Hearing the butler's words, Ye Juan put down the thing in his hand and walked out of the room in big strides.
Tang Kexin was standing in the living room of Zhuang Sheng's Dream Great House. Although she had prepared herself mentally, she was still shocked by the decorations here.
On the wall, there was a huge relief painting. The woman on it was none other than Pei Qingcheng, who was currently lying beside her on the sofa.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Tang Kexin raised her head and looked up the stairs.
It was Ye Juan who was walking down the stairs. He was wearing a silk pajamas with an icy-blue border, giving off a moist glow under the light.
He was going down the stairs so fast that his hair bounced on his forehead like a gust of wind and he appeared right in front of Tang Kexin.
This should be the first time she came into contact with Ye Juan at such a close distance. His noble and majestic aura forced her to lower her head.
"Chairman Ye." Tang Kexin whispered. She looked down at the icy-blue house slippers on Ye Juan's feet. "I brought Qing Qing back. She drank too much."
Before he could react, Ye Juan had already bent down and picked Pei Qingcheng up. He didn't even seem to look at Tang Kexin as he said, "Housekeeper Hu, get someone to send Miss Tang back."
Looking at the man's straight back, Tang Kexin couldn't help but follow, "Actually, I told Qing Qing to stop drinking at dinner, but she was in a bad mood. I couldn't stop her from drinking one cup after another."
Ye Juan finally stopped and looked back at Tang Kexin.
With a single glance, he pierced into Tang Kexin's chest like an ice arrow.
"Then, I thank you on behalf of Qing Qing." His tone was calm, but listening carefully was laced with a thick chill.
Dodging Ye Juan's gaze, Tang Kexin lowered her head and replied, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Qing Qing and I are good friends, that's what I should do."
Before he could finish his sentence, he raised his head again and saw that the man had already disappeared up the stairs with Pei Qingcheng in his arms.
It was not easy to meet Ye Juan, but the time was too short.
She looked at the stairs in a daze, Housekeeper Hu beside her said: "Miss Tang, the car is waiting at the door."
She stepped out of the lobby three times.
The first day he went to work, the first day he officially worked as Mrs. Ye, but he got drunk instead.
Ye Juan gently put Pei Qingcheng on the bed and pushed away the hair covering her eyes.
The drunk Pei Qingcheng was the most adorable. Her cheeks were red, and she would no longer coldly resist him.
But he didn't want her to get drunk, either, because it would be hard.
He got up and went to the bathroom and gave her a hot towel.
Pei Qingcheng actually had a bit of tolerance for alcohol, but it was rare for her to relax and drink more today.
She struggled in bed and woke up, straightening up and looking around.
She had already returned to the Zhuang Sheng's Dream, back to this place that had confined her for a year.
So thirsty, she said, sitting up with her hands on the bed, something pressing against her hand.
Picking it up, he saw that it was a mask.
This mask was so familiar. It instantly brought Pei Qingcheng back to the masked ball at the school seven years ago.
It was there that she and Yin Hann made up their minds.
This is Yin Hann's mask, why is it here?
At this moment, a person walked out from the bathroom.
Pei Qingcheng staggered out of bed with the mask in her hand and walked over to the man.
Drunk and hazy, the whole world swayed in her eyes.
However, it was only the person in front of her who seemed to be giving off a familiar aura.
Trembling, she put her mask on the man's face.
She took a deep breath and cried tears of joy. Tears streamed down from her eyes: "Yin Hann, Yin Hann!"
It was Yin Hann. Seven years ago, Yin Hann was wearing this mask as he danced with her during the ball. It was on that night that she fell in love with Yin Hann.
Now, Yin Hann had returned. Yin Hann had returned!
Pei Qingcheng stood on her tiptoes and stretched out her arms, hugging the incoming person's neck tightly. She was both crying and laughing, "Yin Hann, Yin Hann, you're back! You're back!"
He put his cold mask on Ye Juan's face, but he accepted Pei Qingcheng's hug, no matter how cold it was.
He stroked her back. "Be good and wipe your face with a hot towel."
But Pei Qingcheng hugged him so tightly, it was as if she wanted to inlay herself into his body.
Pei Qingcheng hugged him for a long time before letting go. Her slender fingers gently caressed Ye Juan's forehead. She would never forget those familiar eyes.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. She took off the mask on Ye Juan's face and kissed the man without a care in the world.
The girl's lips felt as if they were on fire, and there was a kind of desperate madness to them.
Yin Hann, whom she missed for three years, finally appeared in front of her.
Regardless of whether he was a ghost or a demon, she would accept them all.
The burning flame instantly raised the temperature in the room, and the hot towel that Pei Qingcheng twisted for her fell to the ground. Ye Juan used one hand to hold onto Pei Qingcheng's waist, afraid that she would fall down, then he retreated step by step.
He knew that Pei Qingcheng didn't really want to kiss him. The person she wanted to kiss was the person under the mask, it was the Yin Hann in her heart, not him.
He didn't want Pei Qingcheng to wake up the next day and regret it, so he resisted.
However, Pei Qingcheng seemed to have gone crazy, her long and slender arms were wrapped tightly around Ye Juan's neck.
God knows how long he had waited for this kiss. He thought he would wait for it for the rest of his life.
The fragrance coming from the girl's hair captivated his heart. He suddenly grabbed the girl's face and said, "Qingqing, look carefully. It's me."
Pei Qingcheng's eyes were hazy with drunkenness. She smiled like a flower in his arms. "It's you. I know it's you."
Her red lips kissed him again. This time, Ye Juan didn't resist. He picked up Pei Qingcheng and let her sit on his arms.
The girl's lips were like Pei Lei's, who was filled with nectar, causing one to be enthralled …
