Chapter 152: Chapter 152 - 152 Never Cheated

152 Never Cheated

“I haven’t seen movies in a long time.” Pei Yilan put down her bag and sized up the elegant environment of the restaurant.

There was a floor-to-ceiling window beside her, and she could see the city that was wrapped in the afterglow.

“It’ll be even prettier at night.” Jiang Ye took off his mask and followed her gaze.

“Have you been here before?”

“No.” He spread out the folded tablecloth and handed it to her first. “This is the first time.”

!!

Pei Yilan could tell that he had put in a lot of effort in choosing this place.

It was because of this that she was even more immersed in the feeling of being doted on by him. “I want all your firsts. Can I?”

“What about yours?”

“I’ll give it to you too.”

Jiang Ye nodded. “Sure.” He stared at that sweet face. “Tell me what you want us to do together.”

“You can do anything with me, right?”

“I can.”

Pei Yilan said what she wanted to do the most at the moment, “I want to wear a couple outfit and wear a couple’s accessory.”

“We don’t have time tonight.” Jiang Ye looked at the watch on his wrist. “Let’s go shopping on Thursday.”

“No hurry.” She pondered for a few moments before throwing out another heavy question. “Have you ever worn a couple’s clothes with her?”

“No.”

“What about the accessories?”

“I think we used the same phone case.” His previous relationship was too long ago, so Jiang Ye couldn’t remember it clearly.

Seeing that he really could remember, Pei Yilan couldn’t help but rejoice. “Custom-made?”

“No.”

“Then I want it custom-made.”

Jiang Ye, who did not smell jealousy, agreed with a smile.

He looked at the food cart and waited for the waiter to bring the dishes to him. “Do you usually eat a lot of western food?”

“Not much.” Pei Yilan picked up her knife and fork. “I always eat Chinese food at home.”

“Then I’ll take you to eat hotpot next time.”

“Sure.” She forked up the beef tartar. “Usually, hotpot restaurants that look old are the best.”

“How old?”

“Like the paint on the walls is almost all gone.”

Jiang Ye went online to search for the restaurants that looked old. “I’ve been to this one.”

“It’s good, right?”

“Yes.” Surprise flashed across his eyes. “Do you eat in that alley often?”

Pei Yilan nodded. “Not just there. I’ve been to almost all the old shops nearby.”

“I thought you wouldn’t visit this kind of place.”

“Because my family is rich?”

“You can say that.” Jiang Ye gave her an example. “I have a classmate whose family background is not as good as yours, but she eats delicacies every day. If we choose a three-star hotel for dinner, she will complain.”

“She’s spoiled by her father.” Pei Yilan had seen many similar people, but they did not get along.

She took two sips of water. “If I were to eat delicacies every day, my parents would have kicked me out of the house.”

He started to be interested in her family who had brought her up so well.

He smiled. “Is that so?”

“Yes.” Pei Yilan told him about how she was beaten up when she was young.

Just listening to the things she described made Jiang Ye feel pain.

He cut the steak into bite-size pieces and pushed the plate to her. “Does that mean your uncle never hit you?”

“He doesn’t.”

“Then why are you afraid of him?”

“He’ll put mental pressure on me.” Pei Yilan chewed and swallowed the steak.

She could not describe the feeling Pei Zhi gave her. “I’ll show you his masterpiece in the future.”

“Alright.” Jiang Ye was interested in everything about her.

He was willing to spend time getting to know her and walking into her life to become indispensable.

The sound of the silver fork touching the plate was heard from time to time, but when the night fell, it stopped.

The late autumn night arrived silently.

The neon lights flashing outside the window were like stars in the night sky, blooming brightly.

Pei Yilan held her chin and turned to look at the beautiful scenery below. The French windows reflected her figure, making her look like she was covered in a veil.

For a moment, Jiang Ye really wanted to record this moment.

He clicked on the camera to adjust the angle and quietly framed her side profile and the French window.

“Are you taking photos of me?” Pei Yilan looked at him when he was done taking photos.

“I was taking photos of the light.”

“Really?”

“Of course not.” Jiang Ye stopped teasing her.

He showed her the photo. “It is not bad. Do you like it?”

“I like it.” Pei Yilan walked to his side and kissed his cheek while no one was looking.

She admired the photo again. “Your photography skills are really good. It’s even better than my selfies.”

“You’re not suited for selfies.”

“I don’t look like myself in the selfies?”

“And you don’t know how to find an angle.”

“Then take more photos of me in the future.”

“No problem.” Jiang Ye rubbed the top of her head. After he sent her the photo, he held her hand and left the restaurant.

Behind the television tower was a shopping mall, and on top of which there was a cinema.

Although it was not the weekend, there were still many people sitting in the waiting hall.

Pei Yilan whispered into his ear, their intimate interaction attracting a couple who passed by.

“Yilan.” Gu Quan sat down on the empty seat on their right. “Long time no see.”

The familiar voice made Pei Yilan stop smiling.

She glanced sideways at the woman and had a rough idea who she was. “President Gu, aren’t you going to introduce us?”

“This is my girlfriend, Su Tian.”

“Su Tian? The Su Tian who seduced you even though she knows you have a girlfriend?”

Gu Quan’s expression changed slightly.

He patted Su Tian’s back and comforted her with his eyes. “I was single when we started dating.”

“Why do I remember that you hugged her at the airport before you broke up with your ex?”

“Isn’t it normal for friends to hug each other?”

Pei Yilan sneered. “To you, only having sex with someone else is considered cheating, right?”

“You’ve misunderstood.” Su Tian interrupted, “Quan never cheated on anyone. We were just normal friends.”

“Are you trying to tell me that the person he loves has always been you, so there’s no such thing as cheating?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Stop pretending in front of me.” Pei Yilan glanced at her disdainfully. “You know best what you mean.”

“Yilan, you don’t have to be so aggressive.” Gu Quan did not flare up on Lin Jiao’s account.

He pulled Su Tian into his arms. “Seeing is not necessarily believing. Only you and me know the truth. What others think doesn’t matter.”
