After finishing the filming in Jiujiang, it was already the eve of the Spring Festival.
The crew also took a temporary ten-day holiday. Mo Anqi booked a flight back to the capital. Jiang Se thought that her play had come to a temporary end, so she gave her a half-month holiday.
Pei Yi found out her flight time and waited at the airport early.
When Jiang Se came out, he saw it at a glance.
Regardless of the crowds at the airport, Pei Yi first hugged her tightly, kissed her on the head a few times, and couldn't let go:
"Are you tired?"
This time Jiang Se was out filming, and the two were separated for many days, which made him miss her badly. Due to the people around him and Mo Anqi who was smiling behind Jiang Se, Pei Yi did not check if she had any more scars on her body, but just pulled her:
"My car is over there."
Jiang Se glanced at Mo Anqi, and Mo Anqi said:
"Don't worry about me, I can drive back by myself later."
She was still pushing Jiang Se's luggage in her hand. Pei Yi reached out to take it. Jiang Se said goodbye to her first before following Pei Yi.
This time he drove an off-road vehicle. After Jiang Se got in the car, he asked Jiang Se if there was anything fun to do in Fu County and Jiujiang.
Jiang Se thought about it seriously and shook his head:
“I haven’t been out much.”
She didn't have much time to shoot movies, and in her spare time she was either reading scripts or watching other people's performances. After coming back from filming on location, when Pei Yi asked her about local customs and practices, she couldn't answer a single one.
Pei Yi turned his head to look at her and couldn't help but smile.
After the long flight back, she looked a little tired, with her head resting on the back of the chair. Her skin was rosy white, and she looked completely different from Feng Nan, but he could see her unique charm.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Se noticed his gaze and turned to ask him. Pei Yi smiled at her:
"It's okay, Sese, come back with me for dinner tonight?"
When he referred to "going back", he naturally did not only mean the place where the two of them were temporarily living, but should be referring to the Pei family.
He had already raised this question on the phone, but Jiang Se hesitated and didn't speak.
She is no longer the Feng Nan of the past, who would politely accompany her grandfather Feng Zhongliang to visit the Pei family during festivals.
At that time, she went to Pei's house and was a guest of the Pei family, but what does it mean to go there now
Even if Pei Yi knew who she was and understood her identity and background, what about the people in the Pei family
The situation now was different from before. She lowered her eyes and Pei Yi could see what she was thinking.
He understood her much better than she thought. As soon as she frowned or lowered her head, he knew exactly what she was thinking.
After all, she might like him, but not as much as he liked her.
"Just a meal."
He shook Jiang Se's hand, looking a little serious:
"Besides, we will meet sooner or later." His family members might not be unaware of what he was doing outside, but the reason they turned a blind eye and didn't even mention it was probably because they thought he was just playing around and let him go.
In the eyes of the Pei family, young people’s minds are short-lived. He liked Feng Nan so much in the beginning, but now he has changed his mind and fallen in love with Jiang Se, hasn’t he
So with this idea in mind, the Pei family had no intention of interfering with him at all, and had not even mentioned this matter for so long, but if he brought the person home, it would not make much sense.
After following the guidance of the elders, things are different from before, and Pei Yi knows it.
"You know my family's situation. It's not as hard to accept as you think." He held Jiang Se's fingers tightly and held the steering wheel with one hand. There was a bit of traffic jam in this section:
"Besides, your grandfather will be coming over tonight, Thurser."
Her expression didn't change, but her hands, which were clasped by his, instinctively tightened, proving that his words did not mean anything to her.
At the point where the Pei family is at this point, their power and status are already at the top level. The Pei family does not need to use marriage to prove their status, nor does it need Pei Yi's future wife to be of noble birth to add icing on the cake. He even has more choices than Nie Dan and others just because of his surname Pei.
His strong family background and origin gave him a lot of freedom in some aspects. His family did not have such strict requirements on the background of his future wife. Even though they had certain requirements for his future partner, Jiang Se's knowledge and cultivation far surpassed many people.
"Grandfather..."
When Jiang Se heard Pei Yi mention Feng Zhongliang, he felt a little blocked in his heart, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on his chest, and it was a little uncomfortable to breathe.
She turned her head away to look at the long queue of cars outside. She had followed Feng Zhongliang to leave Hong Kong when she was young and returned to live in the imperial capital. She recalled that when she was young, Feng Zhongliang held her hand and left Hong Kong. She looked back every step. At that time, her grandfather bent down and touched her head, smiling and coaxing her: "Nannan, don't cry."
There are some things that he doesn't mention, so she keeps them in her heart and dares not touch them or think about them.
Even if she remembered it, what could she do? Now that she was reborn, everything was different from before. Feng Zhongliang had another 'Feng Nan' by his side. So who was she to Feng Zhongliang
"Thunder."
Pei Yi pulled her hand and saw her pale face:
"Go ahead."
"All right."
She nodded.
After returning home, she took a shower first. Pei Yi was still packing her luggage for her. In the past, these things were done by servants in Pei's house. He didn't pack well, but he was very careful.
Originally there were only his clothes in the dressing room, but now some of hers have been added.
Since the last street photos were exposed, more and more manufacturers have approached her to offer sponsorship, and the number of clothes, shoes, bags, etc. has gradually increased. Some of the daily wear items cannot fit in the house that Mo Anqi rented, so they were all moved here for her.
Someone comes here to clean every day. The clothes and accessories are neatly put away by the cleaners. The things of the two people are arranged according to categories, one on each side, but Pei Yi feels a little uncomfortable with this scene.
He took Jiang Se's clothes out of the suitcase and shouted:
"Sese, do you have any clothes to wash?"
She was still in the bathroom and probably didn't hear him, so she didn't reply to him.
He took the clothes and couldn't help but hold them close to his face and took a deep breath. Even though the clothes smelled of detergent, it still made his heart beat as if he had a deer in his arms.
"What are you doing?"
When Jiang Se came out, she saw him squatting in front of her suitcase, with his back to her, doing something unknown. As soon as she spoke, he seemed to be frightened, his body tilted, and he almost fell into the suitcase.
"What else can I do?"
He squatted down in a panic, tried to grab the things in the suitcase, and tried to remain calm:
"Aren't I just helping you pack your luggage?" (To be continued)
