“Don’t worry, I already have enough evidence to prove your father’s innocence, no later than two days,” Pei Xuanyan assured her.
As the elevator doors opened, Pei Xuanyan again took her right hand, and they walked out together. After a few steps, he suddenly embraced her and lowered his head to kiss her red lips, gently brushing against them.
The kiss came so suddenly that An Ke’s eyes widened in shock, and she struggled to push him away. But when she saw reporters with cameras nearby, she gave up struggling and actively wrapped her arms around his neck. She didn’t know why, but she believed Pei Xuanyan must have a reason for doing this. This belief was unconditional, like trusting a family member – something she could never do with Jun Hao.
With Pei Xuanyan’s protection and An Ke’s unusual disguise, the reporters did not recognize her, and they successfully left the hotel. However, the newly appointed Pei Group CEO kissing an unidentified woman would still become a headline gossip, adding a splash of color to his previously blank personal life.
When they sat in the car waiting outside the hotel, An Ke noticed a faint blush on Pei Xuanyan’s face. He straightened his slightly disheveled clothes and cleared his throat: “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.”
Looking at him, An Ke burst into laughter, her thick makeup almost falling off: “I know you’re not that kind of person. It’s just that seeing you blush makes me want to laugh.”
Pei Xuanyan’s blush deepened at her words, and he stammered: “Although you’re made up like this, you still look beautiful when you laugh.” It wasn’t because her laugh was particularly attractive, but because this genuine, heartfelt laughter touched every nerve of his being.
If Sakai Kensei doesn’t want to die miserably, he should shut up.” Jun Hao stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city illuminated by lights. The distant street lamps were like blinking stars. To him, they were painfully glaring, as if mocking him. Memories flashed before his eyes; he would never forget the words the woman he once cherished said to another man: “I love you, I always have, and I’ve never loved Jun Hao.”
