To My Dear Mr. Huo

Christmas.

This past day was Su Peizhen's birthday. Today has become Su Qingsang's birthday.

What was different from previous years was that Su Qingsang called Su Peizhen this year and invited her to have a meal with him.

She refused. There were many Huo family members and Huo Yifan was here, so she didn't want to join in the fun.

Su Qingsang probably knew her concerns and told her again and again that it was just a very private party. It would be Huo Jinyao's young girls and his young female companions, and there would be no other people.

Su Peizhen thought about it for a while and finally didn't refuse. After saying hello to Xiang Caiping, he went to attend Su Qingsang's party.

Su Qingsang took her away from Ling Jing's house last time. Although she was sure that she could escape in the end, she did owe Su Qingsang this favor. She also remembered it.

Huo Jinyao and his gang have found girlfriends one after another in the past two or three years.

Li Junsheng took Ye Zhen, and Wan Xianyang had been pursuing Shi Mengwan hard before, but now he has a new female companion. Xu Changlong and Cheng Xianyun are both married.

The only single person present was Tang Mohan.

Because the seat next to him was empty, and beyond that was Su Qingsang's seat, Su Peizhen didn't think much and looked at the empty seat and sat down.

It wasn't until I sat down that I realized something was wrong. Su Qingsang blinked at her next to her.

She was suddenly embarrassed. Tang Mohan, on the other hand, didn't look embarrassed at all.

Pushing a cup in front of her: "Drink or drink?"

"Drinks."

Tang Mohan is already over thirty and is the only one among this group of people who is still single. Watching a group of young people getting married and having children.

For example, Huo Jinyao directly gave birth to a pair of twins. Tang Mohan was not in a hurry at all.

"Drink this. Plum wine, the alcohol content is very low. It's almost like buying a drink."

"Thank you." Su Peizhen picked up the cup. It was indeed a very light wine, with almost no alcohol flavor.

She had never attended Huo Jinyao's primary school party. She went to a lot of parties in Huo Yifan's circle.

But he took a serious look at the other people present. She was willing to admit that the circle thing was really interesting.

"Your company's recent project in the UK has done well."

The sudden sound made her turn her face, and she realized that Tang Mohan was talking to her.

"Thank you." He was talking about the project led by Su Chenghui and cooperating with Lin Feixing Company.

"I also know Mr. Lin, and he respects you very much."

Tang Mohan was drinking with a cup in his hand, his posture was very elegant.

Su Peizhen smiled: "Mr. Lin is exaggerating. I'm not as good as he said."

Tang Mohan turned to look at Su Peizhen and suddenly smiled: "Yes, he is quite self-aware."

Su Peizhen didn't understand what he meant. Tang Mohan smiled and said, "Our company is planning to start a similar project in Australia. The project is relatively large. If your company is interested, we can discuss it at some time."

"Okay." If you don't make money, you are a fool. Su Peizhen doesn't mind Tang Mohan's attitude.

Maximizing profits is what she wants. As for Tang Mohan, she didn't think he would be interested in her. If it's just cooperation, that's fine.

Tang Mohan raised his cup and touched it with her: "Looking forward to cooperation."

"We look forward to cooperation."

After clinking the glasses and drinking the drink, there was nothing left to say.

Su Peizhen was a little bored sitting there, so he took the opportunity to go out and go to the bathroom outside.

The door of the box opposite opened at this moment, and she saw the person sitting inside from the corner of her eye.

Ling Jing.

He was sitting there drinking, as if he had drank a lot. With just one glance, she withdrew her gaze, turned around and continued walking forward without looking back.

She walked quickly, but the person who was faster was the person who was drinking inside.

The door was open, and someone rushed out from inside. While walking around, many wine bottles on the coffee table fell to the ground.

The noise was followed by a bang on the door, and before she had time to react, someone grabbed her wrist.

She turned to look at Ling Jing, and he pulled her into her box.

Su Pei really wanted to scream, but saw Gu Xiu coming out. He has a habit of knowing people's looks and clearing away irrelevant people.

Within a few seconds, the people inside came out, and she was taken into the box by Ling Jing.

She looked at him coldly, but at this moment he let go of his hand and blocked the doorway.

For more than half a year, she never thought about 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.

"Are you interested?" She looked at Ling Jing who was blocking the door with her body, preventing her from going out.

"..." Ling Jing looked at Su Peizhen. He stretched out his hand and hugged her directly, lowered his head and was about to kiss her.

Su Peizhen struggled a bit, and as her hands were held back by him, his lips finally touched her.

The four lips met, and each other's lips were filled with the taste of each other's wine.

She is like this, and so is he.

However, the taste of alcohol in his mouth was much stronger. Su Peizhen showed no reaction and allowed him to plunder, never letting go.

He kept rubbing her lips, but couldn't go any deeper. The eagerness in his heart made him hold her and turn her around, her body pressed against the door panel.

His breathing became heavy, and he put his hands on the door panel behind her, looking at her intently.

The blood-red eyes and hot breathing faced Su Peizhen's cold expression and unwavering eyebrows.

Touching her cheek, this woman made him love and hate her at the same time.

"Can we forget everything about the past? OK? Clear it all and start over. Can't we?"

His voice was very tangled, and he held her tightly, refusing to let go.

"No." What was colder than her expression was her voice. Ling Jing felt a slight twinge in her heart.

"Tell me, what do you have to do to forgive me?"

forgive? This is really a difficult problem to solve.

Su Peizhen was also straightforward: "We will never get along until we die."

"Impossible." If he hadn't realized what he was thinking, he could still pretend to be nonchalant.

But already aware of his feelings, how could he let her go?

There was a strong smell of alcohol in the box because the wine bottle had been broken just now. Su Peizhen doesn't like this kind of place. If Su Qingsang hadn't kept saying it, she wouldn't have planned to come today.

"Su Peizhen" He leaned over and kissed her lips, his voice a bit pleading: "Can you forgive me?"

Seeing her unmoved look, he suddenly became angry. He grabbed her waist and almost pressed her into his body.

"Do you remember? You promised me a condition, you promised me."

"..." Su Peizhen frowned slightly, as if it was only now that she remembered that she had indeed promised the other party a condition.

Before she could recall it, he had already stated his request: "I know you have a good memory. You remember it, right? You said you can promise me one thing. I will mention my request now. Just, you forgive me."

When she ignored him, he pressed his forehead against hers, stubbornly demanding her answer.

"Say, say you forgive me."

Su Peizhen looked at the man. The man's eyes were red and his breathing was rapid. The two were so close that she could hear each other's heartbeat.

She just looked at her, and when the man was about to have a seizure, she uttered the words that he really wanted to hear.

"I forgive you."

The surprise came too suddenly. Ling Jing looked at her with wide eyes, almost not believing her ears: "What did you say? Say it again?"

"I forgive you. Can you let go?"

"Pei Zhen, you——"

Putting one hand on his chest, Su Peizhen 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 unceremoniously: "You only asked me to promise you one condition. You said you wanted me to forgive you, and I agreed. But forgiving you and being with you are two different things. condition."

"But, but -" The wine Ling Jing drank just now seemed to finally start to enter her mind. He looked at Su Peizhen with a headache.

"It's not like this. It shouldn't be like this. You promised me. You promised it yourself. Didn't you?"

"Let go."

"You promised me."

"Ling Jing. I have done what I promised you."

"It's not like this." It's not like this. This was not what he wanted her to do.

Even if she said she forgives him, he knows that in her heart she has not forgiven him at all.

"If you are really willing to forgive you, you should agree to give me a chance and start over with me."

"Ling Jing. Don't you understand yet? I can forgive you, but I will never be with you again."

"Why?" Since you can forgive him, why can't you 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 of you are false. I don't know that you are pretending to be affectionate now. What will be waiting for me after that? I don’t even know how one day, Master Ling, you will have a whim and bring up the old things again."

"I won't, I promise, I really won't."

"Really? Unfortunately, I don't believe you."

"I really can't. I can swear that in the future I-" Ling Jing wanted to prove it eagerly, but Su Peizhen didn't want to hear it.

She pushed him away and looked at him steadily: "Ling Jing. My identity, my past, and my experiences are all facts, unchangeable facts. I am a prisoner in the labor camp, and I am a prisoner who has experienced Other men’s women.”

"I--"

"Your oath, your promise, why should I believe it?" Interrupting the explanations and guarantees he might want to say, for Su Peizhen, trust is something that is difficult to accumulate, but easy to destroy.

Ling Jing was speechless, and Su Peizhen took a step to the side and put his hand on the door handle.

Seeing that she was leaving, Ling Jing became anxious again. He went to grab her hand: "Even if the beginning between us was not very good. But, have you forgotten the happiness in the middle?"

11.7 has been updated. Continue tomorrow. Tomorrow Master Ling is going to make a big move. Guess what it is?
