C26 The First Love

The two sides met.

Pei Kiu smiled and said something to Ansell, who laughed and patted Pei Kiu's shoulder. Competition was undoubtedly the easiest activity to improve their relationship. This competition made Pei Kiu and Ansell's relationship much closer.

Yu Lian noticed something else.

The group of people had just gambled a bit of money. There were more than a dozen of them, and each of them took out a bit of money. In the end, they had accumulated a terrifying amount that was close to eight figures. This money went into Pei Kiu's wallet after he got first place.

Eight figures.

Damn! How many years would she have to work so hard to earn an eight-figure sum of money? After working so hard for so many years, she still couldn't win against someone else's wheelbarrow money. Once again, Yu Lian felt as if her worldview had been shaken.

Rich people really came to earn money fast.

When Pei Kiu saw her, he walked towards her with a smile on his face. It was as if he was walking in the rhythm of her heartbeat, step by step, until he finally stopped in front of her.

The young man took her hand, bent down slightly, and kissed the back of her hand.

"The Goddess of Fortune was on my side from the beginning."

The young man said with a smile.

At that moment, Yu Lian could vaguely hear something collapse in her heart.

She didn't know if she had broken the wall in front of her, but she felt that there was something so seductive about this handsome, elegant young man that she wanted to hug him and kiss him.

No, no, no, Yu Lian, calm down! Calm down!

Yu Lian calmed down in her heart for a long time. Suddenly, she turned her head and her gaze met Wu Yuqian's not far away. The woman's cold gaze suddenly woke her up.

However, when her gaze fell on the man in front of her again, Yu Lian felt that her state of mind had improved even further.

This man was undoubtedly cold and arrogant. However, just as Wu Yuqian had said, there were so many men in the world who had money, talent, temperament, and looks. Among them, there was a man who had grasped all of these advantages in his hands. He stood at the top, proud and arrogant.

In other words, his indifference and arrogance were something that people liked. It was his charm.

When Yu Lian realized what she was thinking, she wanted to slap herself again. She accepted it, but the speed at which it fell was a little too much for her. She felt as if she had jumped off a cliff, but in an instant, she landed on the ground and fell into a deep pit that she could not fathom.

If she had started out on a smooth road, with the two of them separate and falsely painted, now she was walking on a tightrope, and no one could be sure that the tightrope would reach the end.

She had to be prepared to fall down midway.

Everyone was still planning to play, but Pei Kiu had no interest in continuing. He bet five hundred thousand yuan on a person who sat in the open air with Yu Lian and watched.

The smell of tobacco on Pei Kiu's body was a lot lighter, but there was still a little bit left. No matter how hard he tried, it didn't disappear, as if it was deeply rooted in his body. He ordered a glass of wine from the waiter next to him. The light blue wine with bubbles fell on the table, emitting the fragrance of lemon mint.

Pei Kiu picked up the wine and took a sip. He had a lazy expression and a smile on his face.

"Master Pei, I didn't expect you to know how to race."

Pei Kiu pinched her nose.

"I actually know a lot, but you haven't seen it yet."

Although the sudden intimacy made Yu Lian very happy, but... Damn! What kind of habit did this person have?

Yu Lian wanted to bite another lipstick mark on Pei Kiu, but she gave up in the end. The main reason was... She didn't wear lipstick when she went out today.

The scenery on the balcony was very good. On one side, she could see the racetrack, and on the other side, she could faintly see the sea rising and falling at the edge of her vision. Yu Lian looked at the sports car racing at high speed on the racetrack, then at the blue light at the end of the road. Finally, she saw Pei Kiu leaning back in his chair, his legs crossed, lazily holding his glass of wine.

For a moment, she could only think of four words.

Time was quiet.

However, reality was not a poem after all. Even though she looked at the world through the filter of love, work was still an unbridgeable gap in the road ahead of her.

Wang Luqing, the actress who played the role of the female lead of the Heavenly Wolf, Yu Qiu, broke out in a scandal today, and they, the accompanying reporters, were once again gathered together to write a script to wash her clean.

However, Yu Lian was still a thousand miles away.

She looked at the video and saw a man and a woman in the blurry video. As far as she knew, the woman did look like Wang Luqing, but the man...

The back looked a little familiar.

She might have seen this person before.

She pulled up the video's progress bar and saw that the woman suspected of being Wang Luqing was in a tussle with the man. They walked down the hotel corridor until they reached the door.

It didn't matter if something happened or not. It was enough for people to have wild thoughts. This was gossip, this was news.

Lu Qing did have a temporary notice to run away that day, but it was impossible for her to get a room with someone.

Lee Yu was the first to express her opinion.

Yu Lian paused for a long time on the word 'Lu Qing' and then shamelessly changed the topic.

When did Ms Yu become so close to Wang Luqing?

When Yu Lixing saw her appear, he instantly jumped out. Damn, why did you come out for?

Damn! Family matters!

Who the hell had family matters on a private island to watch people drive around?!

Just as Yu Lian was complaining about her unreliable excuse, she saw Soong Lan's words floating at the bottom of her WeChat interface.

Was everything done?

Yu Lian's heart warmed, but a faint sense of guilt followed.

It was about time. How was Wang Luqing's matter?

It's none of your business.

All right.

...

The sun was setting in the west.

Yu Lian pulled Pei Kiu to see the sea.

The sea beside a private island was not comparable to the tourist attractions in the country. The tourist area looked at people, while the private island looked at the sea.

At first she didn't think about it but when Pei Kiu asked her where she wanted to go, she suddenly had the idea of looking at the sea. In the end, she could only sigh that the IQ and EQ of people in love would drop.

Then she wanted to laugh.

There were too many coincidences in this world.

Two months ago, she would never have believed that in the near future she would have a relationship with the legendary President Pei, and a month later she would be holding his hand as they walked the beaches of private islands.

Look, what is going on?

But it happened. It happened clearly. No one could argue about it.

Yu Lian looked at the handsome young man standing by the beach at sunset and felt that Wu Yuqian's words were right.

So what if they loved each other?

Even if she was skinned and pulled out in the end, even if she ended up crying miserably in the corner, this was the path that she, Yu Lian, had personally chosen. What reason did she have to not continue?

Yu Lian felt that she had made her decision.

"Handsome Pei, let me hug you."

"Yu Lian, did you take the wrong medicine today?"

"Ah... I can't stop myself from indulging in Handsome Pei's beauty."

Yu Lian could guarantee that on normal days, she would only use 30% of her heart when she said such words. The remaining 70% was just a joke, but today, her sincerity had definitely broken through to full marks.

Pei Kiu's hand gently lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. Yu Lian's gaze was caught by his flawless face, and she felt as if she was going crazy.

Pei Kiu smiled.

"Tell me the truth, how many pictures were secretly taken of me today?"

Damn.

She forgot about this.

The corner of Yu Lian's mouth twitched.

"I, Yu Lian, swear to God! I only took one! And it was taken in broad daylight!"

With that, Pei Kiu lowered his head with a chuckle.

Four lips touched and separated.

It was a kiss that touched the surface of the water.

Although he couldn't taste anything, it was very romantic like in novels.

Yu Lian was stunned.

Whether she had a chance or not, this was a question that had yet to be answered.

The light of the setting sun shone on the surface of the sea, and the last golden wave rose from the end of the sea.

The night was like the tide.

The sound of the waves echoed throughout the room.

"Pei Kiu..."

She heard her voice, low, echoing in her ears.

She whispered in that person's ear.

"I love you."

When Yu Lian and Pei Kiu were in bed, in order to lighten the mood, the two of them spoke a lot of sweet words to each other. However, even though they followed the principle that everything in bed was bullsh * t, there was one thing that the two of them ignored at the same time.

They were rational.

They wouldn't love each other because there was no love between them.

Until today.

Pei Kiu seemed to pause for a moment, but perhaps it was just an illusion. He didn't say anything, just turned his head and exchanged a wet kiss with her.

Pei Kiu was silent.

But she already got the answer.

Yu Lian didn't joke around with her confession. She felt that since she had already lost all her face, there was no need for her to cruelly trample on her heart again.

She, Yu Lian, had lived for twenty-four years. The first time she kissed, the first time she rolled on the bed sheets, the first time she talked about love with a man. She didn't believe in love, but in the end, she fell into the most unprotected trap called love.

The only regret was that the story started with a fairy tale, but it didn't end yet.

She fell in love with that man, but that man didn't love her.

As expected.

But it just felt like a melodramatic novel.

Yu Lian looked at the person in front of her quietly. The moonlight was like a veil, enveloping the handsome young man's body. It felt like a dream.

Yu Lian.

Why don't you try to love him once and then cry to your heart's content? This is the path you chose yourself. It's just love and hate.

That's all.
