Substitute new wife: Mr. Pei, are you getting divorced today?

Chapter 272 Dating

"You must be relying on me," Cheng Xi complained.

"Yes, I depend on you." Pei Yanzhou admitted.

The sun was setting, and the sun cast a layer of afterglow on his handsome face.

Cheng Xi bit her lip and said, "Are you full? If not... I'll ask you to eat elsewhere."

Think about it, since you are treating the guests, you can’t just treat them to what you like.

"I don't want to eat. I want to drink a cup of coffee. I'll take you to a place." Pei Yanzhou suggested, "I think you will like it very much."

He said it with such certainty that Cheng Xi was curious, "What kind of place is it? Is it expensive? If it's expensive, I don't have much money."

“How much does a cup of coffee cost.”

Pei Yanzhou took her to the car and opened the Land Rover he drove today.

It was also the first time for Cheng Xi to ride a car. Sometimes he had to lament the differences between people. Some people can only exchange two or three cars for a lifetime of hard work.

As for him, he didn't even know how many cars there were in the garage.

"What are you thinking about?" Pei Yanzhou turned on the radio.

"Oh, I was wondering when you would buy a new car again." Cheng Xi replied.

"I didn't buy it just to chase you." Pei Yanzhou replied, "The cars in my garage are too high-profile, so I bought such a million-dollar car."

"..."

Cheng Xi was so struck by his Versailles tone that he suddenly didn't want to speak.

Isn’t a car worth over one million high-profile?

Ugh.

……

There was some traffic jam on the road after get off work.

After driving for half an hour, Pei Yanzhou stopped under the sycamore tree beside Wenyi Road.

After Cheng Xi got off the car with him, he entered a building with a bit of Gothic style nearby. After walking in, it was like a completely different world. Inside was a huge bookstore with retro and elegant decoration and a spiral staircase. From the first floor to the third floor, a variety of crystal lamps of different styles are hung on the top of the dome.

At that moment, Cheng Xi mistakenly thought that he had traveled through time and space and entered a long-established library abroad.

Even the aroma of the cafe floating in the air smells particularly good.

"I didn't even know there was such an emotional bookstore in Sioux City." Cheng Xi sighed.

"I was also recommended by Chongli. The owner of this bookstore used to study in the UK. He liked their school's library very much. After returning to China, he opened a similar one and added some of his favorite elements into it."

"Brother Lu has so many friends," Cheng Xi said.

Pei Yanzhou was unhappy after hearing this, "I have a lot of friends, but most of them are in shopping malls. Chongli usually likes to play, but I don't like to play."

"I know you are a workaholic." Cheng Xi was amused. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that his words were full of jealousy.

"Men who like to play are not so reliable." Pei Yanzhou didn't mind hurting his friend. "There are many books here. You can go and read them. I'll order something to eat."

"I'll treat……."

Before Cheng Xi finished speaking, Pei Yanzhou had already turned her body and pushed her towards the bookshelf, "Good boy, no, you've already treated me to something to eat. I can't keep letting you treat me, in case you don't dare to come out next time." What should you do if you see me?"

Cheng Xi was pushed away by him so forcefully.

Her eyes were quickly attracted to the books on the shelf. There were too many books here, and they were fully classified, and many of them were even out of print.

Cheng Xi was a little dazzled. She found the book she liked, and like many people, she just sat on the stairs and read it carefully.

"I ordered you a cup of milk tea."

Pei Yanzhou sat next to her and handed over a paper cup of milk tea.

Cheng Xi didn't take his eyes away from the book, took it with his hand, and took a sip. It was hot ginger and red date milk tea, which tasted quite delicious.

She looked at the man next to her who was drinking coffee from a cup, "Aren't you bored while I read a book?"

"Don't I know how to read?" Pei Yanzhou smiled.

Cheng Xi turned his attention back to the book, and not long after, the man's mellow voice sounded in his ears again, "Open your mouth."

She was seeing something wonderful and opened her eyes without thinking.

A mouthful of ice cream was stuffed into her mouth. The matcha flavor was particularly delicious.

Cheng Xi looked at him with wide eyes. Pei Yanzhou was holding an exquisite goblet with three flavors of round ice cream in it.

"Is it delicious?" he asked.

Cheng Xi nodded honestly, "Is there just one cup?"

"You can't eat too much in winter, especially girls." Pei Yanzhou fed her another spoonful.

Cheng Xi hesitated, "I'll eat it myself."

"Don't drop the ice cream on the book. This book is very expensive and out of print." Pei Yanzhou glanced at the book on her lap, "Of course, if you don't eat it, I'll put it down."

"..."

Listen, is this what a suitor should say?

Cheng Xi didn't want to eat it, but the taste of delicious ice cream in winter was so refreshing that it was not satisfying at all.

"Come, you read, and I'll feed you without delay." Pei Yanzhou smiled and fed him again.

Cheng Xi finally followed him, his eyes dark.

After eating half a cup, Pei Yanzhou stopped feeding him and ate the rest by himself.

Cheng Xi stared at him with unfinished thoughts.

"Be good, your stomach will hurt if you eat too much." Pei Yanzhou stood up and returned the cup.

Cheng Xi had no choice but to continue drinking ginger and red date milk tea. It was warm and quite comfortable.

Seeing eight o'clock in the evening, Pei Yanzhou reminded, "It's time for us to leave."

"Is it going to close?"

"No, we have other things to do..."

Cheng Xi frowned unconsciously, she hadn't finished reading yet.

"You can buy it and take it back." Pei Yanzhou took the book in her hand.

The book was a bit expensive, but Cheng Xi gritted his teeth and decided to buy it.

However, when checking out, Pei Yanzhou directly showed his membership card, "I am a diamond member here and can enjoy 30% off."

"Then I'll transfer the money to you later." Cheng Xi didn't want to take anything from him casually.

"I won't want it." Pei Yanzhou took the book and walked out.

"Pei Yanzhou, if you act like this, I won't dare come out with you next time." Cheng Xi complained.

"Cheng Xi, please don't be so naive, okay? I am your suitor now. If a man likes a woman, is it possible that he would be reluctant to spend a penny on you?" Pei Yanzhou looked serious, "A book costs more than a hundred yuan. There are so many female students in Soochow University. Men have to spend money to pursue them. They give women necklaces, bags, and food. It can easily cost thousands or even hundreds of thousands. You can pursue them without giving anything. For a woman, others will only say that this woman is stupid and easy to fool."

Cheng Xi was so retorted by him that he could not refute.

She also knew some things, like her dormitory classmates, when boys chased them, they would either send flowers or food, or occasionally come up with some romantic ideas, which would cost money.

"Take it, I, Pei Yanzhou, am not that bad. Even if you reject me, I won't get this thing back."
