Meng Ruozhao naturally had no idea what he was thinking.
She just found his jealous look somewhat cute and didn't take the so - called "possessiveness" seriously.
After all, in her view, Yan Sisi had just mistaken her for someone else.
So she took the initiative to kiss him. "It's not possessiveness. She just mistook me for someone else. Little Brother Pei, stop being jealous."
The coquettish tone of this sentence was like a feather gently tickling the tip of Pei Jiangmu's heart.
Coupled with this fleeting kiss, it instantly swept away most of the gloom in his heart caused by Yan Sisi.
His ears flushed red. He was overjoyed but deliberately kept a straight face. Looking down at her with a hoarse voice, he demanded, "Is this how you're going to appease me?"
His eyes were deep and burning, with undisguised longing, staring straight at her lips. His intention couldn't be more obvious.
Meng Ruozhao understood his hint, and her cheeks also flushed slightly.
But instead of backing down, she curved her lips, her eyes filled with indulgence and a hint of spoiling she didn't even notice.
She gently stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to lean in, pressing her lips against his again.
This time, it was no longer a superficial consolation.
The moment she got closer, Pei Jiangmu quickly took the lead.
He wrapped one arm around her slender waist, pulling her deeper into his embrace, and gently held her cheek with the other hand, deepening the kiss.
The light in the entrance hall was dim, creating an ambiguous and private space.
The two hugged tightly, their lips and tongues intertwined, and their breaths mingled.
The kiss, which started with gentle exploration, gradually became passionate and lingering.
Pei Jiangmu seemed to be venting all his uneasiness and jealousy through this kiss, and also seemed to be confirming his real possession at this moment.
Meng Ruozhao obediently responded, feeling his strong heartbeat and scorching body temperature. Her consciousness gradually became blurred, and she could only cling to him, immersed in this heart - pounding intimacy.
Their disordered breathing echoed in the silent entrance hall, and the air seemed to thicken and heat up.
It wasn't until both of them were a bit out of breath that Pei Jiangmu reluctantly pulled back a little. He pressed his forehead against hers, rubbed his nose against hers, and tried to calm his rapid breathing.
Looking at Meng Ruozhao in his arms, with her charming eyes and blushing cheeks, his eyes were filled with deep affection and contentment.
"Now... you've barely managed to appease me."
He whispered hoarsely, the corners of his lips curving into a triumphant and happy arc.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in Yan Qiubai's car was completely different.
Yan Qiubai stuffed an opened bottle of mineral water into Yan Sisi's hand with a straight face.
After gulping down most of the cold water, the hazy drunkenness in Yan Sisi's eyes quickly faded.
In its place was a kind of sober, even sly look after achieving her goal.
Or rather, she hadn't been very drunk in the first place.
From the "chance encounter" with those men who pestered her in the restaurant to the words she said while clinging to Meng Ruozhao later, most of it was a play she directed and acted in herself.
She had been wandering around [Fuyunxuan] all day.
Watching as Meng Ruozhao and her group closed the shop and said with smiles that they were going for a dinner.
She unconsciously followed them.
After entering the restaurant, she deliberately chose a seat not far from them.
Watching Meng Ruozhao surrounded by her friends, smiling happily.
She felt unwilling. Clearly, she could also sit beside her and share the happiness.
So she deliberately drank some wine but didn't get drunk, and then arranged the following play.
She couldn't wait any longer and didn't know how to approach Meng Ruozhao naturally again. So she simply came up with this stupid way of "a hero saving the beauty".
She thought that Meng Ruozhao definitely wouldn't stand by.
As long as she "saved" her one more time, she could get closer to her.
By then, they would surely become good friends like before.
But unexpectedly, before she could say much to Meng Ruozhao, she was forcibly taken away by Yan Qiubai.
She was very dissatisfied. Wiping the water off the corner of her mouth, she complained.
"Brother! Didn't you see me winking at you just now? Why did you pull me away so quickly!"
Looking at her like this, Yan Qiubai got really angry and said in a cold voice.
"Yan Sisi! Look at what you've become!"
"Using such means just to get her attention? Do you have any self - respect left?"
"Self - respect?"
Yan Sisi sneered, leaned back on the seat carelessly, looked out of the window at the rapidly passing night view, and said with a near - paranoid seriousness.
"What's the use of self - respect? Can it bring her back to me? I just want to welcome back my sun. What's wrong with using a little trick?"
She paused for a moment, deliberately looked Yan Qiubai up and down with a critical look, and said mockingly.
"You're so self - respecting, but what's the result? You've lost your wife. Just live with Zhou Qiao from now on."
The innocent driver, Zhou Qiao, who was hit by this out of the blue, trembled with the hand holding the steering wheel. A cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, and he silently groaned in his heart.
Miss, why do you have to drag me into your siblings' quarrel!
Yan Qiubai was deeply stabbed by her words. His face instantly became even uglier. His fingers tightened around the mineral water bottle, and his knuckles turned white.
Meng Ruozhao's decisive decision to break up was the deepest thorn in his heart.
Seeing her brother's gloomy expression, Yan Sisi not only didn't restrain herself but seemed to find a sense of revenge. She deliberately rubbed salt into his wound.
"Sad? Brother, can you really be indifferent when you see Zhaozhao with someone else?"
She leaned closer, lowered her voice, and with a cruel innocence, uncovered the deepest secret that Yan Qiubai had hidden.
"Didn't you like her for many years? When did it start? Oh, I remember..."
A complex look flashed in Yan Sisi's eyes, with nostalgia and a hint of resentment towards her brother.
"Because you secretly read the letters between me and her, right?"
Yan Qiubai's body suddenly stiffened, as if he had been hit hard by something.
After Yan Sisi met Meng Ruozhao, they had a lot to talk about.
But they weren't in the same school, and their studies were very heavy. Especially Meng Ruozhao, who had lofty goals and wanted to get into Peking University.
So they chatted with each other by sending messages every day.
Yan Sisi fell into memories, and her tone softened a little, but then it became sharp again.
"Then the family suspected that I was in a puppy love and secretly investigated. It was you... You read my chat records and secretly looked at her photos."
"Moreover, you even secretly followed me a few times, claiming that you were helping our parents watch over me to prevent me from having a puppy love."
"In fact, you fell in love with Zhaozhao at first sight. Secretly following me to meet her was just to satisfy your own desires, right?"
Yan Qiubai's face looked extremely pale in the dim car. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word to refute.
Those secrets he had buried deep in the dust of time.
Those dark thoughts he thought would never be uncovered were now dissected word by word by Yan Sisi and exposed to the cold air.
He could feel his heart pounding wildly in his chest, as if it was about to break free from the shackles and shake out all his panic and embarrassment.
He turned his head away, not daring to look into Yan Sisi's eyes that seemed to see through everything.
Actually, what Yan Sisi said was only half right.
He met Meng Ruozhao not because of those text messages.
