three

Yabo sat in the car, frustratedly tapping her head against the steering wheel, feeling utterly foolish and dull. Although she had no ulterior motives, she still wanted to leave a good impression in Pei Jie’s heart. At the very least, she should not have behaved so foolishly today, unable to even articulate ordinary social pleasantries.

However, until the end of the concert, apart from Pei Jie’s breathing, Ya Bao did not hear any other sounds. During the intermission, Pei Jie went out to make a phone call, while Ya Bao remained sitting there foolishly.

Pei Jie remained silent, only furrowing his brow once more

Yabao arrived a bit late, and the seats were almost full, so she had to keep bending down and saying, "Excuse me, sorry, may I pass through?" When she finally reached her seat, she sighed in relief as she sat down. However, when she casually turned her head, she was surprised to find that the person sitting next to her was...

After finishing her coffee, Yabo declined Mahuiyuan's invitation to dinner, playfully winking and saying, "Next time, if we happen to meet again, I'll let you treat me to a meal"

Tang Yabao stared at Pei Jie in a daze, completely forgetting to respond. After a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out a single phrase, "Mr. Pei"

Who took you to change it

"Yabo." Pei Jie greeted lightly

Did you drive here yourself?" Pei Jie gently supported Yabao's arm, leading her away slightly to avoid a collision with the slightly overweight man next to them

Yabao nodded, wishing he would leave quickly, yet reluctant to part ways just like that. His heart was filled with contradictions; however, the other party clearly did not share this conflict and walked straight ahead.

The lights in the concert hall gradually dimmed, and a spotlight illuminated the center of the stage, where Schafran bowed to the audience with his cello.

However, Master Pei is also an extremely reserved person and did not take the initiative to speak. Yabao comforted herself, thinking that it is quite normal for two people who are not familiar with each other to remain silent.

Pei Jie responded with a brief, "Hmm"

"What a coincidence, do you have time for a cup of coffee?" Ma Huaiyuan stepped forward a couple of paces and smiled at Yabao, his smile slightly strained due to nervousness

"Open the door." Pei Jie’s voice was somewhat cold and hard, yet even so, Yabo found it truly pleasant, rich and solid like marble.

Just call me Peijie

Pei Jie consistently escorted Yabao to the entrance of her car in the underground parking lot, saying: "Be careful on the road"

Meibao held her and said, "Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere. Why have you changed your dress?" Meibao frowned.

"It's settled then." Ma Huaiyuan smiled as he hailed a taxi for Yabao, thoughtfully opening the car door for her and using his hand to shield the door frame to prevent her from bumping her head as she got in.

Yabao inexplicably blushed, and in a voice as low as a mosquito, said: "Hmm"

The temperature of the air conditioning in the concert hall, which was originally quite suitable, suddenly made Yabao feel hot all over, her heart racing more joyfully than usual, and her palms began to sweat. Not knowing what to say, she could only squeeze out a dry, "What a coincidence"

No, there is none. Yabao quickly sat up straight, realizing that he had been lost in thought for too long. Peijie must have come back because he noticed that Yabao had not started the car.

Yabo smiled at him and said, "You have made progress."

On the second day, Yabao hesitated for a while, recalling Meibao, and ultimately placed the red dress into a box, sending it via express delivery to Global International, while she herself took a bag and intended to go to Spring Square

Alleria

Ma Huaiyuan's eloquence is remarkable, and Yabao finds him quite engaging, especially since there is a certain calmness about him. Even his fondness for himself carries a sense of detachment, which Yabao appreciates as it creates a comfortable atmosphere. Unlike other suitors, who are always driven by a strong sense of ambition, this intensity often leaves Yabao feeling anxious, as she feels unable to reciprocate their feelings, prompting her to retreat at the outset.

The person who just stopped Yabao was none other than her former "encounter" in London, Ma Huaiyuan

Faced with Pei Jie’s response of "Hmm," Ya Bao was completely at a loss for how to continue the conversation. She simply closed her mouth and shifted her gaze back to the front. However, she was curious as to why Pei Jie would come to the performance alone

Pei Jie just happened to see it" Ya Bao answered honestly

"No, I'm fine." Yabao did not want Peijie to think of her as a troublesome woman, and she also did not want to be in such a confined space with Peijie, as that would only cause her heart to race uncontrollably

In another corner of the banquet hall, Vic appeared to have discovered some secret, as he couldn't help but smile. However, he had to admit that the boss had a keen eye; such an ordinary dress, when worn by Miss Tang Er, could indeed captivate one's attention. This shows that while one chooses a dress, a dress also chooses its wearer.

One cannot determine what Pei Jie thinks of himself, whether he sees himself as a foolish goose or as a proud green peacock

After the performance, Pei Jie gentlemanly accompanied Ya Bao as they exited, shielding her from the occasional crowding of the throngs.

Pei Jie’s frown made Ya Bao understand that although he was impatient, he was still worried that something might happen to her while driving. At this moment, Ya Bao's face was burning with embarrassment, thinking that Pei Jie must have assumed she was sick with a fever.

Yabo quickly opened the car door and stepped out, fearing that Pei Jie might show an expression of impatience again

As soon as Yabao entered, he saw Meibao searching around with her eyes, and quickly walked over, "Meibao."

Pei Jie furrowed his brow and said, "I might as well take you back."

Yabo drove to the grand theater by herself, and all she could see were couples coming to watch the performance. It was indeed rare for someone like her to attend a concert alone, but fortunately, she had become accustomed to it.

Yabo turned his head to the side and said, "It is you"

"Just now, Zhao Tong stepped on my gown and damaged it, so I changed into another one." Yabao felt a twinge of guilt for some reason when facing Meibao

This is what a gentleman should do, and Meibao did not inquire further

The music flowed into every corner of the hall like water in a lake, graceful and soothing, carrying a hint of translucent sorrow. Yet, even such an epic melody could hardly prevent Yabo from stealing glances at Peijie.

He also likes Shaflan in the picture book? This somewhat delighted Yabo, as they felt a sweet joy in sharing a common interest.

This weekend, there will be a cello solo concert by Shaferlan at the concert hall. Shaferlan is acclaimed as the poet of the cello, and his playing is refined, beautiful, and full of charm. Yabo has always been a great admirer of his work. This marks Shaferlan's first performance in City H, and tickets were sold out two months in advance.

Tang Yabao was feeling frustrated when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the window. In a daze, she rolled down the car window, and outside stood Pei Jie, who bent down and asked, "Yabao, are you feeling unwell?"

Time and again, these chance encounters must be somewhat fated. Yabao tilted her head in thought and nodded. Indeed, she was at the age where she should be looking for a boyfriend

However, despite her joyful demeanor, Miss Tang Yabao maintained a very steady composure, her eyes fixed straight ahead, waiting for the concert to commence or for Pei Jie to initiate a conversation

I can drive myself home," Yabao reiterated

In the end, Yabao, feeling guilty as a thief, quickly glanced at Peijie and found him with his eyes closed, listening to music. This somewhat relieved Yabao, who was sneaking a look, so he turned his head and also closed his eyes, wanting to immerse himself in the music

Ma Huaiyuan smiled and waved at her
