Qu Fulan, who wasn’t good at lying, also didn’t want to tell the truth, struggled for a long ti but couldn’t give an answer.
Because he was imrsed in tension, he didn’t even notice when he stopped the car.
"Fulan."
She only heard his low voice, instinctively responded with a "hmm," looked up towards him, and collided with sothing soft.
Qu Fulan’s eyes widened.
Her breath stopped instantly.
She was just sitting in the passenger seat, separated by a distance from the driver’s seat, how could a re turn of her head lead to his lips touching hers?
It was him moving over, it was him...
Kissing her.
Qu Fulan’s mind went blank.
Fortunately, Pei Ji’an didn’t linger too long before pulling away, then he placed his hand on the back of her head, still very close, with noses almost touching.
"Will you still refuse my invitation in the future?"
A dizzy Qu Fulan instinctively shook her head.
Pei Ji’an curved his lips in satisfaction and said nothing more.
From then on, the als and walks, Qu Fulan can’t rember how they proceeded, she doesn’t even rember how she returned to the dorm; the whole person is still dazed by that kiss.
How did it suddenly turn out like this?
What does this an?
Clearly, there was a "counselor" but Qu Fulan didn’t ntion a word.
The counselor had a belly full of questions to ask, especially having been openly taken away during the day, but seeing Fulan’s lost look, with blushing cheeks yet to fade.
No need to ask.
What fate awaits a little rabbit falling into the hands of a big gray wolf?
And so, Qu Fulan started dating President Pei.
But this matter wasn’t up to her to decide, how they started, how they dated, what they did every day after dating, whether they had als, watched movies or went shopping, it was all him arranging.
The roommate also said, she just needs to obey, don’t think about anything else, thinking is useless.
Even Sun Wukong couldn’t escape the Buddha’s palm, what kind of trick could soone like Qu Fulan co up with?
Pei Ji’an thought the sa, with her personality, a little aggressive approach would leave her with no options.
But no one expected that she would stir up a big splash.
Relationships with unequal status are destined to face many difficulties.
Often it’s not just a matter of two people liking each other.
The surrounding environnt, differences in personality and preferences between the two can all beco obstacles to emotional continuity.
He felt he could adjust and adapt, willing to make adjustnts or concessions.
She actually was willing too, but her confidence wasn’t as strong as his, ultimately unable to withstand reality.
Reality ans soone ca over, saying they weren’t suitable, claiming a family like the Pei Family would eventually marry a well-matched wife and advised her to be sensible.
Pei Ji’an’s mother was no longer around, so naturally, it wasn’t his mother who ca but a sister-in-law, wanting to introduce a favorable girl to the Pei Family to beco the successor’s wife, who would have thought there was a stumbling block.
This had to be resolved?
No matter the sister-in-law’s intentions, what she said was true.
Qu Fulan and Pei Ji’an weren’t people from the sa world, just ssing around with no future, no need to waste each other’s ti.
If it were that simple to break up a couple, it would seem too easy.
The fact wasn’t that simple either.
Qu Fulan’s grandmother was seriously ill and hospitalized, she stayed in the hospital while Pei Ji’an was away on a business trip, he didn’t know, she was planning to tell him when he got back.
Then she got a call saying he’d been in an accident, she hurried over to see him but found him with another girl...
When she returned, her grandmother had already passed away.
She was the one who initiated the breakup.
"Can you tell the reason for the breakup?" he asked.
"It’s that I’m not worthy of you."
"Is it that you’re not worthy, or that you’re unwilling to put in a bit of effort for our happiness?"
"I don’t understand what you an."
"No, you do, you’re just too aware, which is why you can be so rational. Even if I walked ninety-nine steps towards you, you wouldn’t take the final step towards ."
...
Then she found out she was pregnant, only to experience a miscarriage.
Combined with her inherently pessimistic personality, she fell into depression, and seven years later...
In the ancient Pei Mansion.
"At that ti, why did you have to be with other won, why did you deceive , causing to miss seeing my grandmother one last ti?" Qu Fulan’s eyes reddened.
Past events are like passing clouds, but recalling them still causes a subtle pain in the heart.
In that relationship, others only saw his efforts and not the ones she made, treating her as an ostrich, unworthy of his love.
At that ti the child was already six months old, she felt the fetal movents daily, accustod to it, which is why the child’s accident was so hard to accept, ultimately leading to her depressive end.
Although in that world they ended things in such a way, after rebirth and mory recovery, she never blad him, after all, they weren’t of the sa world, and neither were they the sa people as back then.
She shouldn’t account for the past on his present self.
Yet often thinking about how she left that world in such a manner still causes pain.
"If you had clearly explained to earlier, whether you were seeing soone or marrying soone, if you had told clearly, I surely wouldn’t have stayed tangled with you."
She couldn’t bring herself to do such a thing in that world, nor could she in this one.
You can never wake a person pretending to be asleep, nor can you change a man who’s had a change of heart.
If only he had said, she would have left without missing seeing her grandmother one last ti, and the subsequent tragedy wouldn’t have happened.
Pei Ji’an hugged Qu Fulan, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly date or marry another woman? In that world, I always wanted to marry you, there was never anyone else."
"That was a manufactured misunderstanding, and I only found out the truth after you left. It was your roommate who told you mistakenly thought I had a car accident and left T City, missing seeing your grandmother one last ti."
"That day was about discussing a collaboration; the final contract signing involved the other party’s daughter, and I only knew when I saw her."
Then she happened to see, leading to a series of misunderstandings, thanks to a skillful maneuver by that sister-in-law.
Later he removed that brother and sister-in-law from the family registry, yet it couldn’t change back her life.
Thus ca his negotiations with the Main God.
"Regardless of anything, I owe you an explanation, although the misunderstanding wasn’t caused by , it happened because of , leading to all that followed."
Qu Fulan only now learns that this is how the truth was.
Accidental missteps, her grandmother’s death beca their breakup’s fuse, and the child’s miscarriage sealed their impossible future, leaving her to exit that world full of misunderstanding.
Now... with restored mory, knowing the truth offers so solace.
Her personality in that world was a major issue too, overly lacking in confidence, ultimately leaving with such a massive misunderstanding, refusing to communicate it to him. Had she ntioned it at the ti, it could have resolved the misunderstandings.
Without the roommate’s help, they wouldn’t have made it to today.
"Did you thank my roommate later?"
"I let her join the Pei Family as a designer. Would that count?"
Qu Fulan smiled, of course it counted. At that ti, the roommate dread of joining the Pei Family, but she wasn’t capable enough to get in by herself. If she struggled for ten years, she might have had a chance, so his exceptional recruitnt was indeed a form of gratitude.
"Then I thank you on her behalf."
"Actually, she’s also in this world. Do you want to know who she is?"
Qu Fulan’s eyes widened in surprise.
