Chapter 55 (1/2)

If brother Tang Yu was serious about her, then he would be okay with this. However, it was obvious that he wasn’t serious.

If she was important to him, then he would introduce her to his family and friends…. At least to Lin Yun.

Lin Jinrong took this situation far more seriously than Pei Huan and Zhou Meilin.

Pei Qiqi’s face was little white but she kept on smiling, “it’s okay. I know that…”

Her smile finally stabilized and slowly froze on her tiny face, “Lin Jinrong, being with Tang Yu, even if it’s only for one to two years, I would be gaining enough. I’m not that ambitious, so there’s no need to worry for me. Also, don’t judge me using the same standard as how you would judge a saint…”

Because she never had a choice.

If she did, she wouldn’t have lost him.

Pei Qiqi smiled faintly and then tilted her small head, “Lin Jinrong, I wish you happiness.”

Then, she walked past him. When her shoulder brushed against his, he wanted to grab onto her.

He even had a more daring thought – to take her with him…

But Lin Jinrong didn’t. He only stood there and felt her hair brush against his shoulder. It was gentle, it wa slight… it was like that year, when he caught a glimpse of her standing underneath that maple tree.

They walked past each other…

Lin Jinrong stood there for a long long time, until he began to laugh at himself.

Lin Jinrong, I wish you happiness!

At the end of the banquet, Tang Yu asked the driver to drive his mom home. Then, he went to Pei Qiqi.

Pei Qiqi came with Chen Xinjie but nobody knew where Chen Xinjie went. She stood by the hotel door herself, looking a little pitiful.

Tang Yu entered his car and asked the driver to drive before her. Then, he rolled down the window, “Come on in!”

Pei Qiqi looked at him, unable to decline. She listened and got into the car.

This was the first time she had sat with him in the back. Only after she had gotten on, did she feel trapped by the small space in the back. He had a few drinks just now, and the tipsiness rushed throughout the car, making her feel like she had nowhere to escape.

Pei Qiqi sat there compliantly, her hands rested on her knees.
