Chapter 59 (2/2)

Chen Xinjie stood on the side and whispered, “Then… are you now really… Tang Yu’s lover?”

Pei Qiqi stared into the distance and after a long time, she finally giggled, “Yes!”

Chen Xinjie was stunned but Pei Qiqi had turned around to look at her, “Xinjie, you are looking down on me now aren’t you?”

“Qiqi, you must have your hardships!” Chen Xinjie said hesitantly.

Pei Qiqi lowered her gaze and said softly, “I do. But it wasn’t like I had absolutely no choice.”

She then self-mocked, “I can become the wife of an old man and live life openly.”

However, Pei Qiqi knew that Mr. Zhong would’ve left her after two to three years. What she’d do after that wasn’t exactly clear.

Zhou Meilin was scared of Tang Yu, Mr. Zhong was too. So, to Pei Qiqi, Tang Yu was a safe haven.

He wanted her body, she wanted his protection.

Chen Xinjie found this difficult to digest. All of this had surpassed her ability to handle it mentally. She stared at Pei Qiqi and gripped her phone tightly.

Her phone contained photos of Pei Qiqi and Tang Yu. She originally wanted to show Pei Qiqi but now… there was probably no need.

She even regretted some things. She should’ve stayed with Pei Qiqi at Sheng Yuan. Now, Pei Qiqi and Tang Yu’s relationship….

Chen Xinjie’s thoughts were a mess and were very complicated.

Pei Qiqi knew Tang Yu so why didn’t she tell her?

“Qiqi, I want to be a co-op with you at Sheng Yuan.” Chen Xinjie hesitated but finally decided to speak up.

Pei Qiqi was a little surprised. She peered at Chen Xinjie and smiled after a long while, “Tang Yu doesn’t know I’m there. Plus, I don’t know if I will be staying by his side.”
