C22 A Glimpse of the Yacht

The cruise ship, the dinner.

It wasn't even shown on television these days!

A game for the rich...

These were the only words that echoed in Yu Lian's mind ever since she boarded the cruise ship. Comrade Pei Kiu, who had been brainwashed by the gentlemanly spirit, felt the sea breeze and draped his suit jacket over her shoulders. He was now wearing a light gray shirt and no tie.

Yu Lian and Pei Kiu strolled outside for a while and followed the waiter into the interior of the cruise ship. The interior decorations could be described with a single word.

Tycoon.

The first thing Yu Lian saw when she entered the hall was not the ornate decorations or the well-dressed dignitaries. The first thing she saw was an orchestra in the corner of the hall.

Yu Lian could clearly see that the moment they entered the hall, these people's gazes focused on them.

No, to be more precise, they were focused on the man beside her.

Pei Kiu gracefully took off the suit she was wearing and handed it to the waiter with her bag. He took a glass of red wine from the tray and handed it to her.

Alright, there was no need for her to do anything.

Yu Lian held Pei Kiu's arm in one hand and the red wine in the other. She looked at the elegant luxury of the hall, silently raised the rim of the glass to her lips, and took a sip. The red wine tasted astringent and had a pure fruit fragrance and the richness of time. The wine was good, but she couldn't appreciate it.

A young man in a black suit walked over with a warm smile.

"I've finally brought you here."

Pei Kiu smiled and shook hands with the other party.

The young man in black looked at her. His gaze was gentle and not obnoxious, but his smile was still sincere and warm. "Is this Director Pei's female companion tonight? What a beautiful woman. "

Yu Lian had a smile on her face, but her heart was dead. She unconsciously turned the glass in her hand.

To praise a man, one must first praise the woman standing beside him. What she said was right.

"Hello," Yu Lian said politely.

"There's no need to be so polite, Miss. The banquet hasn't started yet. Why don't I take you on a tour of the cruise ship?"

Although the man had asked the two of them a question, their eyes were locked on her.

Yu Lian frowned in her heart.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw that Pei Kiu didn't react at all.

She shook the wine in her glass slightly and smiled gently, "Pei Kiu and I will just take a stroll around here. There's no need to trouble yourself."

When Pei Kiu heard this, he seemed to nod obediently. There was a faint smile on his lips, but his voice was as indifferent as snow. "I'll listen to her."

"I see. Then I wish you a pleasant night."

"Thank you."

Yu Lian's smile remained.

It was just that when she heard Pei Kiu say that I would listen to her, the wine in her hand almost spilled out. She tried her best to suppress the waves in her heart, but Yu Lian's soul was still in a state of floating.

Yu Lian.

You're in danger.

She could hear herself telling her this in her heart. It was cold, rational, and did not allow anyone to question her.

She could not get close to that man again.

However, she heard her heart beating crazily, as if it was going to jump out of her chest.

Yu Lian, this person can't do it.

There were so many men in the world, like the stars in the sky, but only the man beside her couldn't do it. It was impossible.

So far, there was no woman who could lock him down. Hsu Qing couldn't, Wu Yuqian couldn't, and she, Yu Lian, couldn't. However, one day in the future, the person beside her might be willing to be locked up by a woman and repeat what he had just said in a deep tone.

I'll listen to you.

Yu Lian raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp. She felt a cool sensation wash over her from head to toe, finally washing away the restlessness in her heart and making her feel cold all over.

She had to use her imagination to wake herself up, but she had nothing to say.

But after waking up, she really wanted to ask for something to numb herself. Unfortunately, there was no cigarette beside her.

"Are you interested in red wine?" After that person left, Pei Kiu suddenly asked.

She looked at the empty wine glass in her hand, her fingers lightly holding its thin neck, and shook it twice: "It's normal, why don't you have a few cups of white wine?"

Seeing that Pei Kiu's face was about to turn gloomy again, she gently pulled out the hand that was holding his arm and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Master Pei. No matter what, I'm an adult. I know how much I can drink. I promise I won't drink too much."

Pei Kiu snorted, obviously not believing her guarantee. After the matter of smoking, her trust level in Pei Kiu was basically below zero.

...

Yu Lian never expected to see Wu Yuqian here. Her boyfriend this time was a man in his thirties. This time, she was wearing a white evening dress, which really highlighted her pure beauty.

"Pei, Pei Kiu." She gently poked the person beside her and said in surprise, "Isn't Wu Yuqian your lover? Why are you here with another person?"

Pei Kiu glanced at the direction she was pointing at, his expression still indifferent, "I have nothing to do with her anymore."

Pei Kiu spoke as if he were talking about a stranger, or about a well-known fact proven by science, or about the weather today.

Casual and indifferent.

She looked in that direction again, only to find that he was also looking in her direction. She couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.

With Pei Kiu's status, it definitely wouldn't be Wu Yuqian who dumped him. The reality would be that Pei Kiu was tired of her and abandoned the woman he once held in high regard.

Then, facing the woman he had once held in his hands, the woman he himself had opened the car door and held by the hand as they went to the press conference, Pei Kiu looked at her as if she were a worthless stranger.

Pei Kiu's appearance instantly sobered her up. It was more effective than drinking fifty glasses of red wine.

Just in time, the banquet began.

She finally remembered her original purpose for coming here. She took the plate and knife from the servant's hands and started to gorge herself on the sea of food.

While Pei Kiu was chatting with others, she was at the side, eating a forkful of secret chicken. While Pei Kiu was talking business with others, she ran to a nearby place to pour a glass of juice.

Hell, it wasn't a loss to come here just to eat.

Yu Lian felt as if she had discovered a new world.

Along the way, some people would come to say a few words because she was Pei Kiu's girlfriend. But her attention was on food, not to mention that people in Pei Kiu's social circle were of no use to an ordinary reporter like her. Yu Lian had no interest in talking to this group of people, and they left disappointed.

Because she had already adapted to the 12 cm high heels and didn't need Pei Kiu's help at all, and she didn't want to be with him, she basically ran around the hall the whole time. Except for the time when she first entered, she and Pei Kiu were in a state of detachment, and not many people saw her.

Of course, there were some idlers who took in all that was happening to her.

"Qianqian, is that Director Pei's new lover? A foodie?"

Wu Yuqian watched as the woman in the pink dress stopped in front of a table five meters away from Pei Kiu. The waiter waiting at the table was scooping up a salad for her. This girl had just swept through all the meat around her, and now she finally started to eat vegetables.

What did eating count for?

But Wu Yuqian couldn't hide the ridicule in her heart: "As long as she doesn't get in the way of Director Pei, even if she capsizes this boat, Director Pei won't say no."

She laughed to herself. She felt as if she had stabbed herself in the act of stabbing others, but the others did not feel the sharpness of the blade in her hand. She had stabbed herself until she was bleeding.

How ridiculous.

"I don't think Director Pei's new lover is very good-looking this time. Maybe he used makeup."

The person standing beside Wu Yuqian suddenly approached the truth, but he didn't know it at all.

Wu Yuqian did not comment.

There were countless beautiful women in this circle, but there were very few that could interest Director Pei. Even Wu Yuqian didn't know what part of her Pei Kiu had taken a fancy to, but at that time, she felt as if a pie mixed with diamonds had suddenly fallen on her head.

"Who knows?" Wu Yuqian held a glass of red wine and said with a faint smile.

She was already a loser, so she didn't mind looking at the next loser who was still surrounded by stars.

After all, the higher one's status was, the more ruthlessly one would fall.

However, when Wu Yuqian saw the next scene, she was a little lost in thought.

After talking to someone, Pei Kiu walked over to his lover, who served him two puddings. She saw with her own eyes Pei Kiu spoon a spoonful and feed it to the woman beside him, who had a subtle expression on her face as she forked a forkful of broccoli for Pei Kiu.

Pei Kiu ate it with the other party's fork.

Wu Yuqian didn't know what the two of them were whispering about, but she felt that her thoughts were drifting far and disorderly.

"Pei Kiu, I said I want milk! Milk!" Yu Lian gritted her teeth.

"Actually, lemon is not bad. You can try it." Pei Kiu scooped up a piece of lemon jelly and put it in her mouth.

It was a very fresh fruit flavor. In fact, it wasn't as sour as he had imagined. Instead, the last thing that lingered in his mouth was the faint fragrance of fruit.

It was indeed delicious.

He felt like he had opened the door to a new world and suddenly became addicted to it.

Yu Lian instantly changed her stance: "This is even better! Pei Kiu, can you buy it somewhere else?"

"You want to eat it?" Pei Kiu smiled.

Yu Lian's expression was subtle.

She silently picked up a broccoli and handed it to him. "Handsome Pei?"

Pei Kiu ate the broccoli with her fork, a faint smile on his face.

"I'll buy it for you."
