C25 Strange Conversation

There was a game, there was always a bet.

The most obvious bet was always money. Yu Lian was glad that this group of people did not let the onlookers participate in the bet. Otherwise, she would be heartbroken to see the money slip away from her.

Someone asked them in a teasing tone who they wanted to support. During the banquet, many people's eyes had already made a decision for them.

Yu Lian looked left, then right, then looked at Pei Kiu.

The cigarette in Pei Kiu's hand had yet to run out. A wisp of faint green smoke spread out from the top and dissipated in the wind. Not to mention all the women, most of the women's gazes were focused on him. As long as he stood there, he would be the center of attention.

Damn, no matter what, this person was still her, Yu Lian's, boyfriend!

Just as they decided on the competition and the bet and were about to pick up the car, Pei Kiu, with a cigar in his mouth, looked at her thoughtfully.

Yu Lian took a deep breath.

She smiled and walked over step by step. Under everyone's surprised gazes, she wrapped her arms around Pei Kiu's neck and kissed him boldly on the cheek in front of everyone.

The bitter smell of tobacco lingered on the tip of his nose.

Yu Lian began to understand why Pei Kiu wouldn't let her smoke anymore. She didn't feel anything when she smoked.

Ansell smiled and said something in French.

Yu Lian put her arm around Pei Kiu's neck and nodded at the surprised man. "Didn't this gentleman just ask me who I supported? I supported him."

Pei Kiu took a drag on his cigarette, and a thin stream of smoke rushed out of his thin lips and curled around Yu Lian's ear. In the bitter taste of the tobacco, Yu Lian could feel the heat of the man's breath covering her ear as he spoke.

"I will not let Miss Yu down."

Yu Lian could hear her own heartbeat. She felt as if her heart was about to break through her limits.

She smiled and let go of Pei Kiu's arm.

Damn, she should have chosen to record it from the beginning. Master Pei's voice was simply a new type of lethal weapon. It would be a loss if she didn't record it.

It wasn't until Yu Lian followed the others out onto the terrace that the ripples in her heart subsided a little. Yu Lian stood at the edge of the terrace, sipping her tea and thinking to herself.

You're finished, Yu Lian.

Master Pei has many ways to seduce people, but your wall isn't that thick.

So you're finished. After a while, you can go cry.

She looked up at the other people on the terrace. They were all looking her up and down, as if they had yet to recover from her crazy actions. Wu Yuqian was one of them. With a calm expression, she took a cocktail and raised her eyes, meeting Yu Lian's gaze.

Yu Lian did not see any sparks, but the woman picked up the cocktail and walked toward her with a smile on her face.

One was Pei Kiu's ex-lover, and the other was his current lover. Everyone present knew who the two of them were. At that moment, those who were closer to the two of them stood up and tried their best to avoid the center of the whirlpool.

At the Sky Wolf press conference, Yu Lian had wondered what it would be like if the two of them met. She didn't expect her fantasies to come true today.

"Wu Yuqian." Wu Yuqian nodded slightly and reported her name.

Yu Lian said calmly.

"I know you."

One was an ex-paper, and the other was a celebrity.

Wu Yuqian's pink lips curled up into a faint smile, not surprised by her response. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

"My last name is Yu." Yu Lian had no intention of revealing her identity. "I'm not a celebrity like you."

"Of course." Wu Yuqian naturally did not care too much about such a small request. She waved her hand and asked the attendant to bring a box of cigarettes, the same cigars that had just appeared.

Under Yu Lian's dumbstruck expression, Wu Yuqian got the fire from the attendant, skillfully lit the cigar, and took a slow drag.

"Surprised?"

"A little."

However, it was not a lot. After all, she also smoked, but she could not afford to smoke such a high-end cigarette. However, a girl who looked pure and quiet was smoking a cigar skillfully. It was a strange scene in people's eyes.

Wu Yuqian took a deep drag on her cigar, touched her forehead with her slender fingers, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't touch these things before. It's just that I got a little addicted to them after being abandoned by that person."

Yu Lian was stunned.

She subconsciously glanced at the racing track. The sports car sped across the track and made a beautiful drift on the curve.

F * ck!

Master Pei was a disaster.

Wu Yuqian revealed a helpless smile.

"I once thought that I would be the one to walk with him to the end, but in the end... I was overthinking."

Yu Lian remained silent. She really didn't know what to say to comfort such a woman, nor did she have the right to do so. The current Yu Lian was the former Wu Yuqian, and the current Wu Yuqian must also be the future Yu Lian.

"Maybe I want too much."

Wu Yuqian said faintly.

"That man drew this line clearly, but I simply touched this line with a year's worth of feelings."

Yu Lian took a sip of the honey grapefruit tea and said with approval, "He is an extremely cold person."

Wu Yuqian's hand holding the cigarette paused.

"You can see it more clearly than me."

Yu Lian laughed self-deprecatingly.

So what if she could see him clearly? She had seen this person clearly from the incident with Hsu Qing, but even now, he still ended up in such a pitiful state.

She had taken a fancy to a man who could despise her from the bottom of his heart and could trample her under his feet at any time.

She, Yu Lian, saw it clearly, but so what?

"It doesn't matter if you can see him clearly or not."

Yu Lian sniffed the bitter smell of tobacco in the air and spoke in a calm, almost rational voice.

"Do you love him?" Wu Yuqian asked with a smile. In the smoke, the woman with the cigarette had a faint charm to her. Combined with her pure temperament, it seemed to be able to attract people's souls.

Yu Lian's hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

"I'm not worthy."

She was a reporter, but that man was a CEO. Only fairy tales would tell of the love between these two people. And the word 'love' was often the thing that had the shortest shelf life and was the most unbelievable.

If Yu Lian had money or power, she would have gone after Pei Kiu, because she had the means to stand by his side, and money and power were easier to lock onto a person than love.

As if shocked by her blunt words, Wu Yuqian's innocent face revealed a hint of surprise. Then, she pressed the half-smoked cigar in her hand into the ashtray.

The green smoke dissipated.

"Did you know that you are the most likely person I've ever met?"

Yu Lian raised her eyebrows as the tea in her cup trembled slightly.

"He is indeed very gentlemanly when he is with his female companions, but that doesn't mean that his female companions are worthy of him lowering his status to help them peel prawns. Similarly, he doesn't like people getting too close to him."

Wu Yuqian paused for a moment, then asked with a smile that was not a smile, "Do you understand what this means?"

Yu Lian smiled.

It meant that her heart was moved.

"Maybe Master Pei is just bored. Who would dare to bet on his heart?"

"I like this nickname." Wu Yuqian did not comment, "But the bet is too tempting."

Yu Lian felt that the atmosphere between them was a little strange, but she could not find a chance to break it.

"You and I..."

Wu Yuqian knew what she was going to say and rudely interrupted her.

"In Pei Kiu's eyes, there's no difference between you and me. There are plenty of rich men in the world, and there are also many gentle men. There are even a lot of handsome men. But there's only one Pei Kiu. He is a mountain. There are very few women who can compare to him. Most of them are people who climb this mountain."

Yu Lian had to admit that this person's words made sense.

The woman in front of her finished the wine in her glass and said in a faint voice, "Even women have the desire to conquer."

Yu Lian could not help but laugh out loud. She was in despair about the strange atmosphere between the two of them, so she just let the other party do whatever he wanted.

"So you and Pei Kiu were together just to climb this mountain?"

If she really had to use such a metaphor, this mountain was too difficult to climb. She, Yu Lian, would rather climb the Everest.

Wu Yuqian sighed.

"I've also given my heart to her. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state right now."

Yu Lian was stunned once again. She sighed again.

"It seems that I have to borrow your experience, Senior. I can't afford to do such a thing."

Wu Yuqian, on the other hand, smiled.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just love and hate."

But love.

It's just hate.

What he said made sense.

Yu Lian put the cup on the table and laughed without caring about her image. What did she, Yu Lian, not dare to do in her life? She had been trapped in this situation for so many days, not daring to move a single step. She was even desperately building her own wall to prevent others from breaking in.

After laughing enough, she took a sip of tea and said, "You are inciting your rival in love, aren't you?"

Wu Yuqian asked the servant to mix another cup of wine before asking.

"We are?"

"We are now."

Yu Lian, who had untied the knot in her heart, felt refreshed and energetic. Even her voice was a little shaky.

Wu Yuqian took a small sip of the wine that the attendant had just brought and said calmly, "Oh, then I wish you failure."

... "F * ck, where's your face?"

Wu Yuqian raised her head and glanced at her.

"Speak more elegantly."

Yu Lian wanted to flip the table in front of her.

But in the end, she still picked up her cup and clinked it against Wu Yuqian's.

"If I'm out of love, can I buy you a drink?"

Wu Yuqian thought for a moment.

"If you pay for the wine."

With a few cries of surprise, the first car came to an end, the silver car shining in the sun, and the familiar tall figure stepped out from under it.

Yu Lian finished the tea in her hand and whistled down.
