Chapter 79 Cherry Cake
Mother Pei was stabbed by Pei Qiaonian and looked a little sad: "Aqiao, it's not what you think. I didn't say I would give her money and let her go."

Xu Yun was silent.

Yes, there was no mention of taking money, but there was mention of letting her leave on her own accord.

Pei Jianian just sneered: "Just pretend, don't worry about ending up on the street and losing this huge wealth. No matter what, you have obtained a marriage certificate with Pei Xingzhi. As long as you are not divorced, you will have a good life."

Mother Pei opened her lips slightly, and seeing Pei Jianian's distant expression and a hint of annoyance in his eyes, she felt a little pain in her heart.

Her son, who used to depend on her, began to distance himself from her at some point. She was just too afraid of losing him, so she let Pei Jiaonian hold on to power so that no one would dare to bully them mother and son.

She doesn't feel like she did anything wrong.

She bit her lip, a ruthless look flashed in her eyes: "Do you know that Pei Linyuan is back? You think they are just returning to their country, Aqiao, you..."

"Shut up!" Pei Jianian's eyes flashed with cruelty, and his expression became indifferent: "Even if he comes back, so what? What belongs to me is still mine."

He walked out with a chill all over his body. Seeing Xu Yunzhuo still standing there, he paused for a second and said in a light voice: "Are you still waiting here for her to throw the check at you?"

Xu Yunzhuo: “…”

She touched her nose angrily, what a bastard.

But fortunately, even when he was in a bad mood, he still remembered to wait for her instead of just leaving her here and leaving.

Xu Yunzhuo trotted a few steps and followed behind Pei Jianian.

A wonderful dinner ended without us having to eat anything.

It's getting late now.

Xu Yunzhuo sat in the car, close to the door, keeping a long distance between himself and Pei Qiaonian, making sure he was within a safe range.

Maybe it was because the car was too quiet, so when Xu Yunzhuo's stomach made noises, she felt a little embarrassed.

Pei Jiaonian opened his closed eyes and glanced at Xu Yunzhuo.

She smiled awkwardly, then pointed to her stomach: "I accidentally got hungry."

Pei Jianian: “…”

He couldn't help laughing, and the silence in the car dissipated. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Assistant Gao, drive to the nearest restaurant."

Assistant Gao, who was driving in front, breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Mr. Pei."

The car drove to a high-end French restaurant.

Pei Qiaonian used his facial recognition to be escorted to the top floor VIP area.

The two of them were sitting in front of a floor-to-ceiling window.

From here you can overlook the entire night view of the capital, which is magnificent and dazzling.

This was Xu Yunzhuo's first time in a French restaurant. Just from the decoration alone, Xu Yunzhuo could tell that the food here must be incredibly expensive.

When the menu comes.

Xu Yunzhuo took a casual look and saw that a portion of foie gras cost 5,000 RMB, and a portion of pasta was around 1,000 RMB. What was even more outrageous was the dessert, a portion of cake was worth 800 RMB.

The waiter said that the cake was made with New Zealand milk that was airlifted in today. The fruits on the cake were also airlifted in. They were rare tropical fruits. They were prepared by Michelin chefs and had a delicate taste, were not sweet or greasy, and had high nutritional value.

Xu Yunzhuo: “…”

I have never eaten such an expensive cake in my life.

Pei Jianian saw that she was staring at the cake on the menu, but he didn't like sweets very much, so he said to the waiter: "Bring me one, strawberry flavor."

The waiter quickly wrote it down.

Xu Yunzhuo widened his eyes, thought for a moment, and swallowed back what he was about to say.

Pei Jiaonian is a man with plenty of money.

The cake looked expensive, but it was nothing to him.

Pei Jianian saw that Xu Yunzhuo had been unable to decide on an order for a long time, so he took the menu and asked without even raising his eyes, "Is there anything you shouldn't eat?"

Xu Yunzhuo shook his head: "No, no."

Pei Qiaonian glanced at the menu briefly and finally asked the waiter to bring out the restaurant's signature dishes, enough for two people.

The waiter took the menu and left.

While waiting for the food, Pei Jiaonian put his cell phone on the table and, contrary to his usual behavior, did not work on it.

Compared to Xu Yunzhuo, she was still looking left and right, like a country bumpkin entering the city.

Pei Jianian found her like this a little funny: "Don't tell me you haven't been here."

Xu Yunzhuo looked at the glass display case not far away, and there was actually a diamond inside for people to admire.

She continued, "I've never been to such a high-end place. This place looks very expensive. Even if I were walking, I wouldn't pass by here."

A hint of darkness flashed across Pei Jianian's eyes. He chuckled and leaned back on the chair: "I'll bring you here next time."

Xu Yunzhuo was even more flattered.

Pei Jiaonian actually said this. I’ll bring her here next time.

Tsk tsk.

"Really?" Xu Yunzhuo asked, "You won't lie to me, will you?"

"Tsk." He sneered, his almond-shaped eyes curved into a beautiful arc: "If I want, I can even bring you here for life. It's just a few meals. It's not a big deal for me."

Then she must kill this guy ruthlessly: "You said so, don't cheat."

Pei Jianian narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat contentedly: "Yeah."

It so happened that the small cakes were served first.

He raised his chin and said, "Eat."

Xu Yunzhuo saw that a small piece cost eight hundred yuan. She took a bite out of heartache, and her eyes lit up the next second.

The waiter did not lie to her.

It's really delicious.

She even thought the cake was worth the price.

"Delicious, this cake is so delicious. It's the first time I eat such a delicious cake." Xu Yunzhuo licked his lips, looking very satisfied.

Not to mention eating cake, she had never even celebrated her birthday. There were many children in the orphanage, and none of them had a birthday.

Unless they are adopted, they will have new parents in their new family to celebrate their birthdays.

Pei Jiaonian still had a faint smile on his face, his eyes slightly lowered.

Xu Yunzhuo said that she had never been to such a high-end restaurant or eaten such exquisite food.

This is simply impossible.

Even though Xu Yunzhuo grew up in the countryside, she returned to the Xu family five years ago and had seen all the world she should have seen. He vaguely remembered that Xu Yunzhuo had chased Pei Jin here half a year ago.

Had a meal with Pei Jin.

He happened to be sitting two rows behind them at that time.

He slowly recalled those little things that he should have forgotten.

His brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Her eyes fell on Xu Yunzhuo's red lips stained with cream. She licked them lightly with the tip of her tongue. She kept smiling even when she was eating a small piece of cake.

But Xu Yunzhuo half a year ago didn’t seem to be like this.

She pushed aside the small cake given by the restaurant and said to the waiter with a smile: "Sorry, I don't eat these sweets, and I don't like cherries. Take it away."

The temptingly colored cake was taken away.

Pei Jiaonian took a look at it at that time and saw that it was a piece of cake decorated with cherries.

This was just a trivial episode. He was very busy every day and had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters.

Thanks to his good memory, he understood it clearly after a little thought.

Xu Yunzhuo inexplicably knew a lot about him. Did he really dream about his future?

Think of this.

Pei Jianian waved again, and the waiter came forward: "Mr. Pei, what can I do for you?"

Pei Jianian asked: "Give me a piece of cherry cake."

The waiter responded and went down again.

After Xu Yunzhuo finished her last bite, she felt that she was still not full. Seeing Pei Qiaonian ordering another piece of cake, she was a little puzzled: "Don't you dislike sweets? Why did you order cake?" Pei Qiaonian smiled at her and said, "I ordered it for you. I saw that you like it. It will take some time for the dishes to be served. Eat some cake first to fill your stomach."

Xu Yunzhuo: “…”

Who would eat two pieces at a time?

How will she eat the signature dishes here later?

However, this restaurant is also strange.

The cake arrived in no time, but the dishes they ordered took some time.

Xu Yunzhuo licked his lips and couldn't help but said, "Then I'll eat it."

"Well, eat." Pei Jiaonian looked at her.

Xu Yunzhuo took a bite of the cherry first, with a satisfied look on his face: "It's my favorite cherry, delicious."

"Do you like cherries?" Pei Jianian stared at Xu Yunzhuo's face.

She nodded: "Yes, and I like strawberries too."

After saying that, she started eating in small bites.

Pei Jianian stared at her thoughtfully, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.

interesting.

It was obvious that half a year ago Xu Yunzhuo didn’t like cake, and even didn’t like cherries.

He didn't quite believe it, because after hitting his head, he could change his temperament after exchanging with him.

It's impossible for me to suddenly stop liking Pei Jin after chasing him for five years.

In fact, he should have suspected it earlier.

Is the person in front of me really still Xu Yunzhuo?
Xu Yunzhuo noticed Pei Qiaonian's gaze and looked up, meeting his dark eyes head-on. She blinked and looked down at the half-eaten cake: "Do you want a bite too?"

"You eat it," he replied.

Then the dishes came.

Xu Yunzhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know why Pei Jianian has been staring at her.

The food in this restaurant tastes good.

The two of them ate, and no one spoke.

The revolving glass turned, and a voice came out: "Huanhuan, this is the restaurant I made a reservation for a month ago. It's my turn today, so I'll take you here for a meal. The food here is very good."

"By the way, I noticed that you were in a bad mood recently. Did something happen to you?"

After the male voice finished speaking, a clear female voice followed, "I'm fine, I'm just too tired from recording the show. Ah Jin, let's just do this. It would be bad if we were photographed by the paparazzi."

"It's okay. The confidentiality here is very good and no one dares to reveal it." The man's voice soothed.

Xu Yunzhuo recognized both of these voices even though they turned into ashes.

One is Pei Jin, the other is Ning Qinghuan.

She was speechless.

How come I can meet the male and female protagonists while having a meal, and it just so happens that we are in the same restaurant, just like following the plot line.

However, only Xu Yunzhuo knew that this plot line had already collapsed beyond recognition.

She didn't even know where the main line was going.

Pei Jianian sneered: "They are really haunting. How come I can see them everywhere?"

Xu Yunzhuo looked at him silently, because they were the male and female protagonists, and they were both supporting roles.

They all serve as foils for the male and female protagonists.

Because the VIP seats on the top floor are not private rooms, but open, and each seat is about three meters apart.

Although their position is good, it is facing the gate and can be seen at a glance.

So Pei Jin stopped talking and stopped walking, staring at Xu Yunzhuo without blinking.

Ning Qinghuan also discovered it.

She turned slightly pale.

Compared to seeing it secretly, the scene of the two of them being together directly is more shocking.

She had never seen Pei Jiaonian take any woman out to dinner alone.

Even when he was on a blind date with Xie Zhiyuan, he was accompanied by Assistant Gao and did not give Xie Zhiyuan any face at all.

She saw all these by accident.

The more I get to know him, the more I realize that Pei Jiaonian is an excellent man.

He is a clean person with outstanding abilities. Except for his unstable temperament and uncertain character, he is perfect in other aspects.

Ning Qinghuan is no different from other girls in the secular world.

Everyone likes good-looking skin.

And Pei Jiaonian's face accurately hit every aesthetic point of hers.

She took a deep breath. She hadn't seen Pei Qiaonian for half a month, and she felt a little strange.

But now she couldn't rush over to ask him why he blocked her or canceled the WeChat account.

This is the lowest level of practice.

She pretended not to see Pei Qiaonian and turned around and walked towards an empty seat not far away.

She chose this position very delicately, where Pei Jiaonian could see her as soon as he raised his head.

Ning Qinghuan showed her pure and superior profile, and gave Pei Jin a fresh and elegant smile: "Ah Jin, don't you want to eat? Come here quickly."

Pei Jin didn't want to sit here, but Ning Qinghuan sat down anyway.

He could only sit down.

Coincidentally, when he looked up, he could also see Xu Yunzhuo.

Except for the brief moment she paid attention to them when she entered the door, the rest of the time she was focused on the food in front of her.

His arrogant elder brother wouldn't even look at him.

Ning Qinghuan observed Pei Jiaonian out of the corner of his eye.

She noticed that he was picking up some food for Xu Yunzhuo. She didn't know what he said. Xu Yunzhuo looked at him angrily, pinched his waist with his hand, and then continued eating.

Pei Jiaonian had a smile on his lips and his eyes softened.

Ning Qinghuan had never seen Pei Jiaonian smile so gently.

In her impression, this man has always been cold-blooded and ruthless, let alone being so gentle.

How could Xu Yunzhuo have such virtue and ability?

However, what made her feel even more uneasy was

When he turned around, he found that Pei Jin was a little absent-minded and kept staring at Xu Yunzhuo's profile.

She immediately felt a sense of crisis and didn't bother to look at Pei Jianian. Instead, she took the opportunity to pass the cup to him and moved slightly to block Xu Yunzhuo directly.

She smiled gently: "Ah Jin, do you want coffee or a drink?"

Pei Jin looked at the empty cup in front of him and said to Ning Qing with a smile: "I'll just drink some water."

Ning Qinghuan smiled faintly and poured water for Pei Jin: "Drink it."

"Thank you."

Logically speaking, if Ning Qinghuan was willing to give him some smiles, or get close to him, he would be ecstatic and feel that his efforts were rewarded, but now he felt it was tasteless. He kept thinking about the time when Xu Yunzhuo pursued him.

She would bring him breakfast regardless of the weather, and when it rained she would prepare an umbrella for him and place it on his usual seat. When he participated in campus singing at school, her cheers were always the loudest.

As if telling the whole world that she liked him.

But at that time, Pei Jin only felt annoyed and disgusted.

But he always ate breakfast, and he never worried when it rained, because no matter how bad the weather was, Xu Yunzhuo would bring him breakfast.
