Christmas.
In the past, it was Su Peizhen's birthday. Today, it became Su Qingsang's birthday.
Unlike in previous years, Su Qingsang called Su Peizhen this year and invited her to have dinner together.
She refused. There were many people in the Huo family, and Huo Yifan was there. She didn't want to join in the fun.
Su Qingsang probably knew her concerns and repeatedly made it clear to her that it was just a very private party. It was just Huo Jinyao's childhood friends and their girlfriends. There would be no one else.
Su Peizhen thought about it and didn't refuse. She said goodbye to Xiang Caiping and went to Su Qingsang's party.
Last time, Su Qingsang took her away from Ling Jing's house. Although she was confident that she could get away in the end, she did owe Su Qingsang a favor. She remembered it too.
Huo Jinyao's childhood friends had all found girlfriends in the past two or three years.
Li Junsheng brought Ye Zhen. Wan Xianyang had been pursuing Shi Mengwan, but now he had a new girlfriend. Xu Changlong and Cheng Xianyun were married.
The only single person present was Tang Mohan.
Because the seat next to him was empty, and Su Qingsang's seat was next to it. Su Peizhen didn't think much and looked at the empty seat and sat down.
She didn't realize that something was wrong until she sat down. Su Qingsang blinked at her.
She suddenly felt a little awkward. Tang Mohan, on the other hand, didn't look awkward at all.
He pushed a glass in front of her. "Do you want to drink or drink?"
"Drink."
Tang Mohan was already over thirty, and he was the only one in this group who was still single. Watching a group of childhood friends get married and have children.
It was like Huo Jinyao had a pair of twins. Tang Mohan wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Drink this. Plum wine with a low alcohol content. It's like buying a drink. "
"Thank you." Su Peizhen picked up the glass. It was indeed a very light wine with almost no smell of alcohol.
She had never attended Huo Jinyao's childhood friends' parties. She had attended many parties in Huo Yifan's circle.
However, he took a serious look at the other people present. She was willing to admit that the circle was really interesting.
"Your company's recent project in England is doing well."
The sudden voice made her turn around and realize that Tang Mohan was talking to her.
"Thank you." He was referring to the project led by Su Chenghui and Lin Feixing's company.
"I know Boss Lin too. He admires you very much."
Tang Mohan was holding a glass in his hand and drinking, his posture was very elegant.
Su Peizhen smiled. "Mr. Lin, you're exaggerating. I'm not as good as he says. "
Tang Mohan turned to look at Su Peizhen and suddenly smiled. "Not bad. You know your place."
Su Peizhen didn't understand what he meant. Tang Mohan smiled. "Our company is preparing to start a similar project in Australia. The project is quite big. If your company is interested, we can pick a time to discuss it. "
"Sure." Su Peizhen wouldn't mind Tang Mohan's attitude if she didn't earn money.
Maximizing benefits was what she wanted. As for Tang Mohan, she didn't think that he would be interested in her. If it was just a collaboration, that would be fine.
Tang Mohan raised his glass and clinked it with hers. "I look forward to working with you."
"I look forward to working with you."
After clinking glasses and finishing the drink in the glass, there was nothing more to say.
Su Peizhen was a little bored sitting there, so she took the opportunity to go out and go to the bathroom outside.
The door of the private room opposite her opened at that moment. She saw the person sitting inside from the corner of her eye.
Ling Jing.
He was sitting there drinking. It seemed that he had drunk a lot. After just a glance, she looked away, turned around, and continued to walk forward without looking back.
Her footsteps were very fast, but the person who had been drinking inside was even faster.
The door was open, and someone rushed out from inside. As he walked, many of the wine bottles on the coffee table fell to the ground.
The noise was followed by a knock on the door, and before she could react, her wrist was grabbed by someone.
She turned to look at Ling Jing, and he dragged her into her private room.
Su Peizhen wanted to scream, but she saw Gu Xiu come out. He was used to reading people's eyes and cleared away the irrelevant people.
After a few seconds, the person who stayed inside came out. She was brought into the private room by Ling Jing.
She looked at him coldly, but at that moment, he let go of her hand and blocked the door.
For more than half a year, she had never thought of seeing Ling Jing. But in the past few days, she had met Ling Jing one after another. If it was a coincidence, she really didn't believe it.
"Is it interesting?" She looked at Ling Jing, who was blocking the door with his body and not letting her out.
"…" Ling Jing looked at Su Peizhen. He reached out and directly hugged her into his arms. He lowered his head and was about to kiss her.
Su Peizhen's body struggled for a moment. As her hands were held behind her back by him, his lips finally touched.
Their lips met, and their lips were filled with the taste of each other's alcohol.
She was like this, and so was he.
However, the taste of alcohol in his mouth was much stronger. Su Peizhen didn't respond. She let him plunder and never let go.
He kept rubbing her lips, but he couldn't go any deeper. The eagerness in his heart made him turn around with her in his arms, and his body was pressed against the door.
His breathing became heavy. His hands were on the door behind her, and he looked at her fixedly.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his breath was hot. Compared to Su Peizhen's cold expression, there was no fluctuation in her eyes.
He caressed her cheek. This woman made him love and hate her at the same time.
"Can we forget all the things that happened in the past? Can we? Reset and start over. Can't we? "
His voice was very conflicted. He held her tightly and refused to let go.
"No." Her voice was even colder than her expression. Ling Jing felt a slight pain in his heart.
"Tell me, what do you have to do to forgive me?"
Forgive? That was really a difficult question to answer.
Su Peizhen was also straightforward. "Never contact each other."
"Impossible." If he hadn't realized his feelings, he could pretend that nothing had happened.
But since he had already realized his feelings, how could he let her go?
Because of the broken wine bottle in the private room, the smell of alcohol was very strong. Su Peizhen didn't like this kind of place. If it weren't for Su Qingsang, she wouldn't have planned to come today.
"Su Peizhen." He leaned over and kissed her lips. His voice was a little pleading. "Forgive me, please?"
Seeing that she was unmoved, he suddenly became angry. He grabbed her waist and used force to rub her into his body.
"Do you still remember? You promised me something. You promised me. "
"…" Su Peizhen frowned slightly. It seemed that she only remembered at this moment that she seemed to have promised him something.
Before she could recall, he had already said his request. "I know you have a good memory. You remember, right? You said that you can promise me one thing. I'm mentioning it now. My request is that you forgive me. "
Seeing that she ignored him, he pressed his forehead against hers and stubbornly asked for her answer.
"Say, say that you forgive me."
Su Peizhen looked at the man. The man's eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was rapid. The two of them were very close, so close that she could hear the other's heartbeat.
She just looked at him. When the man was about to explode, she said the words that he wanted to hear.
"I forgive you."
The surprise came too suddenly. Ling Jing stared at her with her eyes wide open. She could hardly believe her ears. "What did you say? Say it again? "
"I forgive you. Can you let go? "
"Peizhen, you –"
Su Peizhen put one hand on his chest. She was much calmer than Ling Jing thought. "Don't you understand? I said I forgive you. You can let go. "
"No, since you forgive me, then we –"
"Ling Jing." Su Peizhen interrupted him rudely. "You only asked me to promise you one condition. You said you wanted me to forgive you, and I promised. But forgiving you and being with you are two conditions. "
"But, but –" The wine that Ling Jing had just drunk seemed to finally start to rush to his brain. He looked at Su Peizhen with a headache.
"It's not like this. It shouldn't be like this. You promised me. You promised yourself. Isn't that right? "
"Let go."
"You promised me."
"Ling Jing. I've done what I promised you. "
"It's not like this." It wasn't like this. What he wanted her to do wasn't like this.
Even if she said she forgave him, he knew that she hadn't forgiven him in her heart.
"If you're really willing to forgive me, you should promise to give me a chance and start over with me."
"Ling Jing. Don't you understand? I can forgive you, but I won't be with you anymore. "
"Why?" Since she could forgive him, why couldn't she accept him again?
"Because your credibility with me is zero," Su Peizhen said bluntly. "I don't know which of your words are true and which are false. I don't know what's waiting for me after you pretend to be deeply in love with me. I don't know which day you, Young Master Ling, will bring up the past on a whim. "
"I won't, I promise, I really won't."
"Really? Unfortunately, I don't believe you. "
"I really won't. I can swear, in the future –" Ling Jing was eager to prove himself, but Su Peizhen didn't want to hear it.
She pushed him away and looked at him fixedly. "Ling Jing, you're a good girl. "Ling Jing, my identity, my past, my experience, they are all facts, unchangeable facts. I am a prisoner, I am a woman who has had other men. "
"I –"
"Why should I believe your oath, your promise?" She interrupted his explanation and promise. For Su Peizhen, it was hard to accumulate trust, but it was easy to destroy it.
Ling Jing was speechless. Su Peizhen took a step to the side and put her hand on the door handle.
