"How come you're really in Bordeaux?"
She couldn't believe it and asked several questions in a row. Pei Yi couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the top of her head, but his heart was softened because of her words.
Jiang Se was not sure whether he was in Bordeaux, but he dared to come here rashly just because of a word from him.
Someone at the station raised their phone. Someone must have recognized Jiang Se. She was nominated for the Best Actress at the French Film Festival for her role in The Devil. She was as famous in France as some European and American actresses. He didn't want to share their intimate moments in front of the public. Pei Yi held her in his arms and covered her face with his hands:
"Let's get out of here first."
The car Pei Yi drove was an off-road vehicle with a large interior space. After the two got in the car, Jiang Se thought of him a few years ago.
At that time, she had just been reborn and saw the news about Pei Yi on TV. He and Nie Dan and others drove a sports car along the highway at full speed, alarming the French police.
However, because of her, this man gradually matured and changed a lot over the years.
When she thought of this, she turned around and looked at the backpack that Pei Yi had thrown on the back seat, which contained a surprise she wanted to give him.
"Where have you been for the past half of the time? How did you end up in France?"
She asked casually, and Pei Yi grabbed the ID card thrown in the car and handed it to her. She took it and opened it. The person on the ID card was him, but his name and information were all changed.
"I have a mission. After I complete it, I will take the opportunity to come here."
He brushed off the mission with a simple sentence, "I knew you were in France, so I came here to meet you first."
After finishing his business in London, he stayed to do some cleaning.
After all, Chen Minshu had been captured by the "Crow" organization at that time. She had not suffered too much and had not received any special training. It was very likely that once the people from the underworld organization tortured her, she would say many things that she should and should not say.
I believe that she will not reveal too many of the truly important secrets of this organization’s operation. After all, she doesn’t know much, but there is no guarantee that she will not reveal her identity.
Pei Yi was not afraid of her, but was worried that it would cause trouble for Jiang Se, so he stayed in London for a while longer and almost wiped out all the remaining members of the "Crow" organization before rushing to Bordeaux to wait for her.
This place not only has a different meaning to Jiang Se, it is also different for him. He once dreamed of proposing to Jiang Se in the castle he had built.
When the two of them came, he had accomplished nothing and even the way to get her was through coaxing and begging. He didn't have the courage to propose to her, even though he had imagined the scene of her wearing a wedding dress for him a thousand times, but in the end he still stopped the words from coming to his lips. That was the first time he realized that responsibility is far more important than pure love.
It was just that he missed the opportunity at that time. Pei Yi had regretted it several times, until he graduated from the No. 1 university early and entered the military academy, where he was restricted from going abroad. The dream of kneeling down to propose to her was still in his heart, but it became more and more firm.
"Sese." He was considering how to start the conversation. During this trip to Bordeaux, he was planning to propose to Jiang Se.
He believes that he is now much more mature than he was back then and has already graduated. With the military achievements he made this time, his father has told him that there is a vacancy for the mayor of West Kyushu, and he will rush there to take up the position and accumulate political achievements and qualifications.
With his career planned out, he also had enough responsibility and courage to propose to Jiang Se.
Grandpa once praised him for his rapid growth and that his mental quality was no longer the same as it was in the past. He understood what responsibility was and was praised for his courage during this mission.
Faced with the vicious "Crow", he responded calmly, took every step carefully, and wiped out the drug lord organization in one fell swoop.
After the mission was completed, he was able to withstand the pressure from the Pei family and use the identity prepared for him by his grandfather to run to Bordeaux and wait for Jiang Se.
But no matter how much psychological preparation Pei Yi had done before this moment, when he saw Jiang Se's eyes full of life, all the preparations were no longer enough.
No matter what impression he left on others, no matter how calm and composed he was in his studies and tasks, all of it vanished at this moment.
He was somewhat annoyed that he was completely absorbed in her beautiful eyes. The words were already in his throat, but he was too nervous to say them.
Sometimes, cherishing her too much actually became a burden for him, and he was even afraid of proposing to her too suddenly and scaring her.
Pei Yi thought of the days when he had a crush on her but didn't dare to say it out loud. His feelings were exactly the same as now. She was always the most important in his heart, and all his emotions came after hers.
"Why don't we go take a look around first and not rush back."
He held Jiang Se's face in his hands and asked for her opinion:
"OK?"
"Okay." Jiang Se nodded. "I want to go to St. Andrew's Church. I didn't go there last time I came. What a pity."
After graduation, her schedule will be much busier than it is now. In fact, it is not easy for Pei Yi to go abroad, and it may not be easy for her to squeeze out such time in the future.
As soon as she said this, Pei Yi immediately started the car, set a route, and drove towards St. Andrew's Church.
This church is the largest cathedral in Bordeaux, located in the city center. When Pei Yi parked the car in the garage, Jiang Se glanced at the bag in the car and reached out to take it. Pei Yi hurriedly said:
"I'll do it."
"I want to carry it myself." She refused Pei Yi's help. There was not much luggage in the baggage. Pei Yi had everything here, even her spare clothes in the manor in Bordeaux. All she needed to take were some documents and necessities, which were not heavy.
Pei Yi let her carry the bag, and the two of them came out of the garage and saw the cathedral on the square at a glance.
In the square opposite the church, you can see many vendors selling all kinds of things, and there is a constant stream of pedestrians.
On the other side, under the blue sky and white clouds, there is a magnificent cathedral. The bright sun above is like a pearl on the top of the spire. The white church is bathed in the sun. The scene is as beautiful as a painting.
Jiang Se pulled the strap of her backpack, stood for a while, then pulled Pei Yi in.
The outside and inside of the church seemed to be two completely different worlds. All the noise seemed to be blocked out by the next door. It was so quiet inside that the light footsteps of the two people could be heard clearly.
Jiang Se had no choice but to slow down her steps again and again, holding Pei Yi's hand. The hustle and bustle of the world and the busy work were all isolated at this moment. The two of them seemed to have stolen half a day of leisure. They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
It was not the busiest time for tourists in Bordeaux, France, so there were almost no people. In the rows of benches in the distance, in the first row, a devout Christian was bowing his head in prayer.
Pei Yi glanced at the chair and asked:
"Sese, are you tired? Do you want to sit for a while?"
He still remembered that Jiang Se had said a few days ago that she was too tired from work and her feet hurt a lot from wearing high heels.
Jiang Se grabbed the strap of his backpack and nodded.
The two did not disturb the believers sitting in the front row. Jiang Se chose a seat in the last row and sat down. Pei Yi squatted in front of her, naturally lifted one of her legs and placed it on his thigh, then reached out to massage her with varying degrees of force.
She looked at the man with familiar features. He was massaging her legs with a naturally focused expression and a hazy gaze.
"Ayi, kneel down."
She suddenly laughed, stepped on his legs with her toes, and spoke suddenly.
He did not ask why, but immediately half-knelt down with one leg obediently, while the other foot supporting her calf remained standing. He raised his head, and his humility did not diminish his momentum. (To be continued)
