Pei Yuan gave Luo Lian a piece of sashimi, "I heard from my dad that they will be planning to announce our engagement in a while."
Luo Lian was startled, "Engagement?" He didn't even know there was such a thing.
Pei Yuan nodded: "Didn't Uncle Luo tell you?"
Luo Lian stared at Pei Yuan, his tone full of disbelief: "We are not in a relationship, so we are going to get engaged?"
"This is a matter decided by the two families. What? Are you unwilling?" Pei Yuan and Luo Lian's eyes met, and she did not dodge. She thought that Luo Lian would not be unwilling, which was a very good thing.
"Of course I don't want to. Are you willing?" Luo Lian never thought about accepting the life arranged by others.
"Why don't you want to?" Pei Yuan didn't understand.
Luo Lian felt that there was no need to discuss this topic, and he even felt a little bit dumbfounded. "I have no feelings for you. We don't love each other. If we stay together and form a marriage for the sake of the family's wishes, this is a particularly sad thing."
Pei Yuan frowned. She couldn't say she was angry, but she just didn't understand: "I think I like you quite a lot, and I have no objection to this matter."
Luo Lian felt that there was no need to continue chatting with Pei Yuan. The two people had completely different ways of thinking. Pei Yuan is still in a teenage mentality, and everything is dominated by his current one-sided emotions. She had no idea how superficial "like" she said at this moment was. I have never considered that marriage is a lifelong matter for two people.
In addition, the most important reason why Luo Lian refused was that the only wife he identified was Gu Ziyi.
If he had to spend such a long time with someone, he only hoped that that person would be Gu Ziyi.
"Pei Yuan, what you said is your opinion and does not represent me. Marriage is a matter between two people, and I don't want to. I made it clear and straightforward, I don't like you." Luo Lian didn't want to say anything. It has to be so straightforward, but it is obvious that if she doesn't say it so clearly, Pei Yuan is always willing to put her own perspective into everyone's thoughts.
"Why?" Pei Yuan frowned, "Did I do something that disgusted you?"
"Some people's marriage is a bargaining chip, but mine is not. I want my marriage to be a relationship based on love. Loving someone is a difficult emotion to express clearly. You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that I don't like you. , will not love you." Luo Lian hopes that when he and Gu Ziyi are together in the future, there will be no influence from external factors. Even if there was even the slightest chance of creating an obstacle between them, he would kill it in advance.
Pei Yuan was not angry, which even she found strange. Luo Lian always spoke politely and his tone was gentle and gentle. If someone had dared to speak to her like this before, Pei Yuan would probably have slapped him regardless. But there was no intention to humiliate her in Luo Lian's words.
She had no reason to lose her temper.
Pei Yuan pursed her lips and was silent for a while: "I like you. I think relationships are more or less something you can try, so why don't we give it a try? You haven't started with me yet. Are you sure about future events in advance?”
Luo Lian was amused by Pei Yuan's childish thoughts, "Because I already have someone in my heart. Therefore, the latecomers cannot catch up."
He never intends to give opportunities to latecomers.
From beginning to end, there will only be one person.
Pei Yuan fell silent and looked into Luo Lian's eyes.
Luo Lian was very sincere when he said this. Speaking of which, his eyes were clearer than ever before and filled with love, so there was light in them.
Pei Yuan could not doubt the authenticity of his words, because Luo Lian's eyes expressed it so clearly.
Do you think Pei Yuan will just give up
Not really.
"So what?" Pei Yuan asked Luo Lian, "You have someone in your heart, but you are not together. I will not give up on you. I have never given up on anything in my life. I want to I will try my best to grab it."
She is very proud of the confidence given to her by her parents and family.
She was very conceited when she said this.
That kind of aloofness, never encountering setbacks, made Luo Lian feel a little bit envious.
Luo Lian lowered his eyelashes and raised the corners of his lips: "I can only say that your thoughts are too simple."
Luo Lian picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. His peripheral vision glanced at the private room opposite.
"I've always wanted to ask, you always look across the way from time to time. Is there anyone you know there?" Pei Yuan asked him.
Luo Lian smiled: "It's someone you want to see but can't."
Pei Yuan immediately thought of what Luo Lian said. It couldn't be such a coincidence. The person he loved was next door, right? Pei Yuan thought for three or two seconds, "Why don't we go over and say hello." It would also allow her to see what kind of person Luo Lian loved.
Pei Yuan stood up.
Luo Lian frowned, "No need."
Pei Yuan lowered her eyes and looked at him, "It seems that chance encounters don't happen often."
Luo Lian was moved. Indeed, chance encounters do not happen often. It took a lot of luck to meet each other by chance.
Pei Yuan had already knocked on the door one step ahead of him, and by the time Luo Lian came to his senses, it was already too late.
"Please come in."
Xia Yue and Gu Ziyi looked up at the visitor at the same time, a young and beautiful woman.
Gu Ziyi also saw Luo Lian behind the woman. She thought that this woman was probably Pei Yuan.
Xia Yue put down his chopsticks, "Excuse me, is something wrong?"
"They seem to be acquaintances, so come and say hello." There were two women in the cubicle. Pei Yuan made a judgment and thought it was the person on the left. Because her memory was pretty good, she vaguely remembered that she and Luo Lian went to the cafeteria before, and one of the two beauties at the next table that Luo Lian paid attention to was this one.
There can't be two coincidences.
A smile appeared on Pei Yuan's face: "Hello, I am Pei Yuan, Luo Lian's fiancée."
In an instant, Luo Lian's expression changed.
Gu Ziyi's expression didn't change much, but her eyes changed for a moment.
Xia Yue's face darkened.
"She's not." Luo Lian quickly replied.
Pei Yuan did not feel embarrassed and continued to add: "Although Luo Lian doesn't approve it now, I think he will be willing to approve it in the future."
Xia Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to speak.
Gu Ziyi was one step ahead of her, with a well-placed smile on her lips: "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you want to express when you come over to say hello. Because what you are saying now has nothing to do with me."
Pei Yuan did not expect Gu Ziyi's reaction.
Gu Ziyi said politely: "If you want to deepen your relationship with your fiancé, it should be between the two of you. I don't understand the meaning of you coming to say hello at all, and we are not familiar with you."
