Endless Fall

Chapter 40

I Just Want to Seal That Lips

She did not feel any pressure when being with Pei Zhi. In addition, she had a good time with him.

“Turn right at the intersection ahead.” A gentle voice entered Pei Zhi’s ears like an electric current.

If they were a couple, he probably wouldn’t be able to resist stepping on the brakes and covering her lips to listen to her whimper.

“Uncle, how’s my imitation?” Lin Jiao smiled at him, not knowing the dangerous thoughts he had in mind.

“Good.” Pei Zhi tightened his grip on the steering wheel, trying to calm down.

He then asked tentatively, “Have you said to anyone in that voice?”

“Just you and Yilan.” Lin Jiao turned around, her back facing the glaring sunlight. “Other than you two, no one wants to hear it.”

Pei Zhi felt a sense of satisfaction.

He paid attention to the cars nearby. “Even if they wanted to hear it, they wouldn’t be able to.”

Lin Jiao smiled. “You’re right.”

She waited for Pei Zhi to drive the car into the parking lot of the mall before getting out of the car with him.

“Come this way.” Pei Zhi wrapped his arm slightly around her waist to lead her.

He slowed down to match her pace. When they were in the elevator, he was unwilling to let go.

The number finally stopped at the top floor. When the waiter waiting outside saw them come out, he respectfully raised his hand and led them to a terrace.

At this moment, the sun was still very bright. When the sunlight shone on the pool, the sparkling waves were especially dazzling.

Lin Jiao, who was always afraid of heat, strode to the front and pushed open the hot glass door to enter with him.

“Brother Pei, you look radiant today.” Chu Yuzhou looked at the two of them and teased.

Shen Yi, who was sitting beside him, also looked at them with interest, but he did not speak.

“You too.” Pei Zhi smiled casually.

He took a glass of juice from the table filled with wine and handed it to Lin Jiao. “Why isn’t Yanshen here yet?”

“His girlfriend is going to buy a gift for Lin Jiao.” Chu Yuzhou toasted them. “They probably went to the mall.”

Lin Jiao asked with her mouth wide open, “Me again?”

She couldn’t even count how many gifts she had received from her sisters-in-law. It was as if without gifts, they weren’t allowed to meet her.

“Only you have this kind of treatment.”

“Have you never received one?”

“Shen Yi seemed to have received one.” Chu Yuzhou thought for a moment. “In any case, I haven’t.”

Shen Yi handed them two cigarettes. “It was because that day was my birthday.”

“Then did you return a gift?”

“He broke up too quickly that I didn’t even have a chance to do so.”

“That’s true.” Chu Yuzhou showed them the gossip he saw a few days ago. “Among the three girls he is rumored to be with recently, guess who will show up?”

Lin Jiao leaned over to take a look at the photo of the girls.

Based on her past experience, she pointed at the entertainment trainee. “She has a 60% chance.”

“My thoughts are the opposite of yours. She’s probably just using Brother Yan to make herself known. Only the actress is likely.”

“But the actress isn’t his type.”

“His type can change at any time.” Chu Yuzhou was very certain. “Why don’t we make a bet?”

“On what?”

“The loser must satisfy a request from the winner.”

Lin Jiao agreed almost without thinking.

She knew very well that even if she lost, he would not make an unreasonable request.

“President Pei, did you bring her home?” Shen Yi also started gossiping.

“She brought me home.”

“Did you sleep at her apartment last night?”

“Yeah.” Pei Zhi took two sips of red wine. His eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at her.

“Looks like you’re not far from being single.”

“Maybe.”

“Attract her with your charm. She will definitely be tempted.”

Pei Zhi replied, “I know.” All he needed was time to make his moves.

“Brother Pei, what are you talking about?” Chu Yuzhou walked over with Lin Jiao and took the initiative to give the seat beside Pei Zhi to Lin Jiao.

“Nothing.” Pei Zhi picked up the fruit plate and pushed the mangoes to the side. “Ask Yanshen where he is.”

“Alright.” Just as Chu Yuzhou was about to make a call, a man and a woman walked in against the sun.

Zhou Yanshen, who was walking in front, was wearing a Versace shirt with a classic Barocco print.

After greeting them, he put his arm around his new girlfriend and introduced, “This is my girlfriend, Du Wei.”

Du Wei smiled brightly at them.

She looked at Lin Jiao in surprise. “Yanshen, is she Jiaojiao?”

“Yes.” Zhou Yanshen took a step forward.

He rubbed Lin Jiao’s head and looked at her. “Jiaojiao, call her sister-in-law.”

Lin Jiao had no choice but to go through the motions.

She accepted the gift from Du Wei. After expressing her gratitude, she praised Du Wei sincerely.

Du Wei was beaming with smiles upon hearing the praises.

She wanted to get closer to Lin Jiao. After sitting down beside her, she started a conversation centered around Zhou Yanshen. “Are you two siblings?”

“No.” Lin Jiao shuffled back slightly.

She took the fruit plate from Pei Zhi and took a bite of a watermelon. “We are not biologically related.”
