Chapter 16: Pei Du and I Have Long Been Over

Chapter 16: Pei Du and I Have Long Been Over

The plot is starting to pick up.

If things go as expected, this promoter is definitely Wen Heng.

If he goes up against Wen Heng, the following scenarios will definitely occur.

Wen Heng will simply say a few words, making him jealous, envious, and crawling in the shadows, constantly plotting how to tear Wen Heng into eight pieces and monopolize Pei Du.

Then he’ll go crazy and be brought to justice.

Or, Wen Heng will accidentally fall onto Pei Du’s lips and he’ll witness it.

Then he’ll start crawling in the shadows again, tearing Wen Heng into eight pieces, monopolizing Pei Du, and then being brought to justice.

In short, this huge novel world will seize him, a pitiful NPC, and wreak havoc on him.

Sun Mo: “I heard that this Wen Heng is a somewhat famous online celebrity with a lot of fans and a strong ability to promote products. I guess he’s the promoter.”

“Should we be the ones to talk to them?”

“I heard they’re coming over.”

The suspense is killing me.

Sheng Yiguang struggled, “This is the operations department’s business. They shouldn’t be coming here, right?”

“Probably not, why are you reacting like this?”

Sheng Yiguang pointed to Wen Heng’s name, “The future current boyfriend of my ex-boyfriend. If you see him, don’t mention me.”

Sun Mo was speechless, “You didn’t do anything bad, what’s there to hide from?”

I did.

I just slept with Pei Du last month.

Sun Mo: “Besides, you guys are over.”

Not really.

Pei Du asked him if he wanted to get back together just a while ago.

Sun Mo: “I haven’t seen you and General Manager Pei interact at all since the last dinner.”

There was.

Just a few days ago.

Pei Du spent the night at his house.

He even touched and hugged Pei Du.

Forced love.

Pei Du also wants to help Sheng Tong find a doctor and have surgery.

Sun Mo: “Do you need to feel guilty?”

I need to.

Very much so.

Sun Mo said earnestly, “You can’t avoid this kind of thing. Once you avoid it, people will definitely look down on you. If we can’t get steamed buns, at least let’s fight for some dignity.”

“No need, I can walk away flattened.”

Sun Mo: “…”

–

Couldn’t walk away.

After Wen Heng negotiated the promotion, he suggested touring the company.

Then, unsurprisingly, he ran into Sheng Yiguang.

“Sheng Yiguang? You work here? If I had known you were here, I would have contacted you.”

The young lady from the operations department who was showing Wen Heng around asked, “You know each other?”

Wen Heng nodded, “We do. Miss Sun, why don’t you go back? Can Sheng Yiguang show me around?”

The young lady from the operations department looked at Sheng Yiguang.

Although Sheng Yiguang wouldn’t do the kind of scheming and harming things in the plot, he still saw Pei Du’s official pairing as no different from someone who stole his boyfriend.

“Sorry, I have work to do.”

“Then after you get off work, I have something I want to talk to you about.”

“If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly.”

“It’s not really anything important. I want to invite you to my birthday party.”

“Sorry, I don’t have time.”

“I haven’t even said what day it is, how do you know you don’t have time?”

Sun Mo was impressed.

This is a rejection, doesn’t this innocent understand?

Sheng Yiguang didn’t want to go and continued to refuse.

Seeing this, the young lady from the operations department interrupted.

“Someone from the operations department will also be representing the company to attend. I’ll ask the superiors and let Sheng Yiguang attend as a representative of the design department. What do you think, Mr. Wen?”

“Okay, okay, I’ll be very happy if everyone can come. No need to bring gifts~”

After Wen Heng was sent off, Sun Mo was unhappy and questioned the operations department.

“You need to maintain a good relationship with the promoter, why are you dragging in our design department?”

“Wen Heng isn’t just an online celebrity, his family has some power and a very good relationship with the Pei family. There are rumors that Old Man Pei intends to make Wen Heng General Manager Pei’s life partner, so we can’t neglect him. We must try our best to satisfy any request he has. Don’t worry, the company will prepare the gift.”

“Damn, so he’s a young master. No wonder you…”

Sun Mo saw that Sheng Yiguang’s face didn’t look good, “Are you okay?”

“I’m okay.”

It’s just that the guillotine of fate hanging over his head has fallen, giving him a sense of relief at finally awaiting his death, and…

Sadness.

–

Wen Heng’s birthday party was at the best hotel in Lingang.

The venue was filled with pink roses and a multi-meter-high castle cake. A “big star” from Disney was also invited to the scene to celebrate the birthday, understated yet luxurious.

Almost everyone who came to participate was a young master or young lady. Sheng Yiguang and his group of three came and couldn’t fit in anywhere, like fools, staying in the corner watching this high society birthday banquet.

“Oh my god, this cake, I could fall into it and no one would be able to find me.”

“You can’t afford to fall, it’s at least hundreds of thousands.”

“The cost of this birthday party may be more money than I’ll earn in my entire life.”

“I’m really laughing at myself for being so poor.”

Sheng Yiguang listened without saying anything.

He saw a familiar figure appear in the crowd.

Holding a gift box, he walked up to Wen Heng.

Wen Heng smiled and opened the gift in public, then frowned.

Sheng Yiguang didn’t know where he got the ability to read Wen Heng’s lips.

“You’re only giving me this?”

Pei Du said lazily, “Take it or leave it.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll take it.”

Sheng Yiguang lowered his eyes.

He shouldn’t have come.

He overestimated himself.

Knowing is one thing, facing it is another.

He thought he could control it, but seeing this scene, he just wanted to rush up and separate the two of them! Take Pei Du and elope to Antarctica, and then throw Wen Heng to the Arctic!

“Sheng Yiguang, why are you here?”

Du Chao was busy preparing everything.

After the birthday party started, he retreated to the side and happened to see Sheng Yiguang.

He looked at the surrounded-by-stars Wen Heng, then looked at Sheng Yiguang, his face changed, and he lowered his voice.

“You’re not here to cause trouble, are you?”

“I can’t afford to.”

Du Chao choked, then nodded, “It’s good that you know. These roses were all I managed to drag back with great difficulty, they cost over ten thousand.”

Sheng Yiguang looked at Du Chao.

Du Chao was confused, “Why are you looking at me?”

“Do you like Wen Heng?”

Du Chao’s face turned red in seconds, and he stammered, “You’re talking nonsense!”

“I’ve seen that look in your eyes before, it’s easy to tell.”

“You’re exaggerating! Where have you seen it?”

“Before, Pei Du would look at me like that.”

“…”

That really was, unarguable.

Du Chao sighed, “I shouldn’t have made things difficult for you before. It’s been four years, things are long over. I’m actually quite grateful that you left back then. If you hadn’t left, Xiao Wen probably would never have had a chance. Look at them, how well they match.”

Both of them were wearing expensive clothes, one noble and indifferent, the other radiant and beaming, standing under the bright lights, as dreamy as a snow globe.

“And we can only watch here.”

Sheng Yiguang suddenly understood that when Pei Du possessed the identity of a wealthy grandson, it was destined that they would part ways, destined that Pei Du would have a lover who matched him.

The class difference gave them a chance, but there was no room to interject.

They could only watch.

After the ceremony ended, Wen Heng held a wine glass and chatted with the people who came to his birthday party.

Sheng Yiguang was glad that Pei Du wasn’t with Wen Heng.

Otherwise, at the sight of this scene, like newlyweds toasting guests, he would go crazy on the spot!

Du Chao smiled and went to find Wen Heng.

After saying something, Wen Heng smiled and walked over.

“I haven’t seen you all this time, I thought you weren’t coming.”

“On behalf of the company, I wish Mr. Wen a happy birthday.”

Du Chao was unhappy, “What do you mean ‘on behalf of the company’? Don’t you want to wish him a happy birthday?”

Sheng Yiguang smiled and said, “Slip of the tongue.”

He thought in his heart: It’s best if he never sees Wen Heng again in this lifetime.

Wen Heng feigned annoyance, “Du Chao, you don’t have to speak if you can’t say the right things!”

Du Chao immediately apologized with a smile, “Xiao Wen, I was wrong, will you forgive me?”

“Don’t do it again.”

“Okay.”

After Wen Heng finished speaking, he pulled Sheng Yiguang’s hand and took two steps to the side, his ear tips turning red.

“I have a few things I want to talk to you about.”

Sheng Yiguang had a bad feeling.

Wen Heng: “Have you and Brother Pei gotten back together?”

Sheng Yiguang’s heart turned cold, and his voice also cooled down. He really couldn’t put on the polite social face, “What does Mr. Wen want to say?”

“These past few years, Brother Pei and I haven’t had it easy. We’ve supported each other…”

Sheng Yiguang’s mind buzzed, and he thought of the bullet comments.

In the fight for power among wealthy families, the two of them supported each other…

Wen Heng: “I think I might like him.”

Feelings gradually developed, with stumbles and setbacks.

Finally.

A happy ending.

Wen Heng: “If you guys still love each other, I won’t like him, I’ll slowly let go. If you guys aren’t, I want to pursue him.”

A taste bitterer than coptis root spread on the tip of Sheng Yiguang’s tongue.

The heavy feeling in his chest made it difficult for him to breathe.

“Mr. Wen, Pei Du and I have long been over.”

Wen Heng pursed his lips and smiled, the joy revealed on his face when he raised his eyes froze.

“Pei, Brother Pei.”
