Thank you for Waiting, Mister Tang!

Chapter 55

The Engagement Banquet (5)

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.

Tang Yu rested his eyes a bit. After a while, he seemed to be feeling hot so he loosened his tie. Then, he ordered, “Help me unbutton.”

Pei Qiqi was startled. Did he mean the buttons to his shirt or to his blazer?

Without a proper explanation, she rather believe he meant his blazer.

Her tiny hand inched over and carefully unbuttoned it.

Tang Yu opened his eyes and his giant hand cupped her head. His voice was a little hoarse, “Are you scared I would do something to you?”

Pei Qiqi didn’t dare to move. She shook her head, then quickly nodded…

Tang Yu laughed and patted her.

Pei Qiqi’s face turned red. Luckily, it was dark and he couldn’t see.

She sat straight up and didn’t dare to talk to him. Her little face was gazing outside the window and she stared at the busy city.

Street lights flashed by, blinding her. But after some time, she felt unspeakably lonely…

Tears appeared in her eyes…

Just like these streetlights, her beauty was just passing by and short-lived…

His giant palm held onto her and hugged her.

Pei Qiqi was a little stiff. His face buried in her neck and his voice was soft, “Don’t move, I want to sleep a bit…”

That was what he had said so she really didn’t dare to move. After a while, her neck turned so stiff she couldn’t even move.

Tang Yu wasn’t really asleep but was just resting. When he opened his eyes to find her acting like that, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Idiot!”

Her eyes lowered. “You told me now to not move.”

Tang Yu chuckled and then ordered in a hoarse voice, “Kiss me!”

Pei Qiqi stared at him.
