Chapter 396 Fiancé
With mixed feelings, Wen Yi Che walked over.
Although he thought that during the years they were apart, the two might be together.
But anticipation is one thing, and actually seeing it is another.
Wen Yiche felt that he might not be able to accept this reality in a short period of time. No matter how much he convinced himself that it was a normal thing, he would still have some grudges in his heart, and the strange feeling in his heart could not be faked.
However, despite this, Wen Yiche quickly adjusted his state. A hint of softness emerged on his cold, arrogant and aloof face, and the bitter emotion that was slowly melting away was hidden in his heart, not revealing a single bit.
He thought that at least he couldn't be too obvious and let Bai Yuan notice something unusual, which would make things difficult for her.
It took these two people several years to finally be together. He should have given his blessing and been sincerely happy for Bai Yuan, instead of -
Thinking of this, Wen Yi Che greeted the other party in a familiar tone. Based on past experience, Wen Yi Che thought that after Qin Lingzheng saw him, he would face all kinds of ridicule, complacent looks, and even mild threats from him, just like every time he experienced before.
Also be prepared to calmly accept the other party's upcoming attitudes.
After all, he is the 'older brother', so he should set an example and not act recklessly like a young boy. He should behave more maturely and steadily than the other party...
However, when the other party turned around after hearing the voice, Wen Yi Che was stunned.
——Not Qin Lingzheng.
This is a completely unfamiliar face.
Strange and beautiful.
The facial features are so delicate and three-dimensional, whether it is the high nose bridge, the charming peach blossom eyes, or the lips that reveal obvious stubbornness and pride when slightly pursed, every line is outlined just right.
It is like the most perfect masterpiece of God, which makes people marvel at it at first sight, bringing a strong impact and making people unforgettable.
And those azure blue eyes, which are particularly bright and eye-catching because of the different races and absolutely cannot be ignored, are like the finishing touch of the whole face, and the teardrop mole at the tail of the eyes is bright red and sparkling.
It also made Wen Yi Che unable to deceive himself into associating the other party with Qin Lingzheng, and he couldn't convince himself that this was what the other party would look like when he grew up.
At this moment, no matter what Wen Yiche had anticipated in his mind or what he had prepared for the response, they all became useless and pale and powerless in the face of the unexpected.
It’s not Qin Lingzheng… How could it not be Qin Lingzheng? ! He just saw…
Wen Yiche's mind was in a tangled mess and he had never considered the possibility that the person with Bai Yuan was not Qin Lingzheng.
He was speechless in the face of the unexpected situation. Even if he racked his brains, he could only utter a few far-fetched words:
"I'm sorry, I... got the wrong person..."
After saying that, Wen Yi Che looked at the young man in front of him who had a close relationship with Bai Yuan and behaved very intimately. He frowned imperceptibly, and the light in his eyes dimmed for a moment.
If it wasn't Qin Lingzheng, who would he be?
Wen Yiche looked at Bai Yuan beside him, trying to get an explanation and answer from her about the current situation.
——Here it comes!!!
Different from Wen Yiche outside the situation.
Pei Jin had known about this person for a long time and had seen his photo more than once in advance. He even privately inquired about many things related to Wen Yiche and had made full preparations before coming.
He also thought that he had mastered Wen Yiche to perfection and knew him like the back of his hand.
Therefore, Pei Jin was only a little confused the moment he saw Wen Yiche because he was caught off guard.
But soon, he realized the other person's identity. This was Bai Yuan's childhood sweetheart, who grew up together, studied abroad, was said to be a great pianist, and was the "white moonlight" former "partner" that Bai Yuan could never forget!!!
Needless to say, Pei Jin's whole body tensed up instantly and he immediately entered the first level of combat readiness.
While Wen Yiche was observing Pei Jin, Pei Jin was also observing Wen Yiche.
Bai Yuan's "white moonlight" looks no different from the photo, with the same outstanding appearance and more mature temperament. Although there are still some differences, it is not enough for Pei Jin to mistake her.
The difference lies in the unique temperament that cannot be shown in photos alone.
The coolness and coldness revealed between his eyebrows was like a cedar tree standing proudly on the top of a mountain, or like a plum blossom in deep winter, defying the frost and snow.
This aloof and arrogant temperament, like a banished immortal, was not created deliberately, but emanated naturally from the bones. Upon closer inspection, it was extremely similar to Bai Yuan, exactly the same.
This instantly made Pei Jin feel a sense of crisis.
No one had ever told him that "Bai Yueguang" and Bai Yuan were such a perfect match!!!
Some couples have complementary personalities, and they mesh closely together like precision gears in the course of life, supporting each other.
Some people have an invisible tacit understanding and attraction. There is no need to say much. Others can tell at a glance that the two people are of the same kind and are a match made in heaven.
Bai Yuan and Wen Yiche are obviously the latter.
Pei Jin didn't know that his thoughts at this moment were exactly the same as Qin Lingzheng's thoughts when he first saw Wen Yiche a few years ago.
This intuitive feeling is far more impactful than any photos or videos.
This is also one of the main reasons why Qin Lingzheng persisted in harassing Wen Yiche for years and regarded him as the biggest source of crisis.
Even though Wen Yiche repeatedly emphasized that he and Bai Yuan had no feelings beyond brother and sister, and no matter how clearly he drew the line, he could not dispel Qin Lingzheng's concerns and make him truly feel at ease about Wen Yiche.
At this moment, this state of mind reappeared in Pei Jin after many years, making him feel like he had something stuck in his throat.
However, unlike Qin Lingzheng, Pei Jin has an additional identity that Qin Lingzheng has always dreamed of but could never obtain, which gives Pei Jin more confidence and courage than Qin Lingzheng did.
This self-confidence and emboldness naturally turned into ridicule and contempt for Wen Yiche.
Even if she is "white moonlight", "ex", and a match with Bai Yuan, what does it matter?
After all, I went abroad, and in the end, I was the one standing next to Bai Yuan.
When facing the same sex, Pei Jin's instinctive competitive mentality took over, and he automatically entered the comparison mode.
Although the other person is taller than me and looks more mature and stable than me, this is just an age advantage. After a few years, when I grow up, I may not be any worse than him.
So what if he has a similar personality to Bai Yuan? He has seen many people like this, and they are nothing alike.
Being aloof also means being boring. It would be fine if their personalities complemented each other, but Bai Yuan happened to be such a taciturn person. She usually doesn't talk much. The two of them might not say a word to each other for a month. It's no different from raising a piece of wood. ...
Especially after Pei Jin saw the shock and confusion in Wen Yiche's eyes, he became even more complacent.
You never thought of that! Master, I came prepared!!! I did my homework in advance!!!
Do you think Bai Yuan will always wait for you to come back? Do you think Bai Yuan came to England to find you to rekindle the past?
Hey!
She came here with her whole family!
This strategic advantage brought about by intelligence differences, although unfair, is really cool!
It's a pity that he had been "enduring" and "lying dormant" for so long, and yet he came all the way to England.
Waiting for this moment!!!
Pei Jin felt that he had really made the trip this time!
If he hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have been able to see the rich expressions on Bai Yuan’s “white moonlight” face!
Therefore, in stark contrast to Wen Yiche, Pei Jin was full of confidence. He raised his chin and looked at Bai Yuan, his pride evident in his words, waiting for Bai Yuan to announce his identity and their relationship.
Say!
tell him!
Young Master, who am I to you?
Being stared at by two people with different expressions, Bai Yuan said calmly and methodically:
"This is my childhood friend, Wen Yiche."
Then, he looked at another person and said briefly:
"Pei Jin, my classmate."
Pei Jin: …
Wen Yiche: ...
Neither of them responded to Bai Yuan's words, but waited for two more seconds in tacit understanding.
Seeing that Bai Yuan really just introduced the matter here and had no intention of going further, both Wen Yiche and Pei Jin could hardly hold back.
Finished? Is this the end?
Is his partner/dating partner not good enough? ? ?
A little better than Pei Jin. When Wen Yiche met Qin Lingzheng before, Bai Yuan had introduced people in this concise way. So he has some experience and was the first to react.
A faint smile appeared on Wen Yiche's aloof face. Not only did it not show any signs of melting, but it made him seem even more unattainable.
"Hello, I'm Wen Yiche, Bai Yuan's...brother."
After a brief pause, Wen Yi Che did not refer to himself as "partner" as he usually did in the past, but subconsciously used a title that indicated a closer relationship and a higher seniority.
"Thank you for taking care of Bai Yuan while I was away."
Having said this, he took the lead in extending his hand to Pei Jin and spoke in a 'friendly' manner.
"Nice to meet you. Are you Bai Yuan's boyfriend?"
When Wen Yiche said the word "boyfriend", he felt calmer than he had imagined.
He originally thought that he would be resistant to this identity, and even if he said it out loud, it would be obvious that he was being targeted.
But the truth was much simpler than imagined, and it came out almost naturally, without any of the expected stumbling blocks, and instead with a bit of genuine identification.
It only took Wen Yiche a moment to figure out the key.
Since Bai Yuan is destined to have a boyfriend, it doesn’t matter whether this person is Qin Lingzheng or not.
Even if it wasn't Qin Lingzheng, it would be someone else.
Although I don't know what went wrong or what happened that led to Qin Lingzheng's absence, things have come to this point and there is no help in thinking too much about it.
Since he can accept Qin Lingzheng and Bai Yuan being together, there is no reason for him to change his mind if the candidate is replaced by someone else.
As long as Bai Yuan is satisfied with this, he has nothing to worry about. As long as it is for Bai Yuan's good, he naturally has no reason to disagree.
And it's not just me.
Wen Yiche thought.
Wu Chu will definitely be happy when he knows this news.
His little cousin had long disliked Qin Lingzheng and was at odds with him, but Bai Yuan stood on Qin Lingzheng's side. Wu Qi had no choice but to swallow his anger after trying to persuade her to no avail.
Wu Qi had imagined with Wen Yi Che more than once that such a person would suddenly appear beside Bai Yuan, take over everything Qin Lingzheng currently had, and replace him to stand beside Bai Yuan, leaving Qin Lingzheng in tears.
Now, the person Wu Qiong had always dreamed of had finally appeared, and she would definitely -
"No, it's not." Pei Jin's voice rang out.
Wen Yiche was stunned, and his scattered thoughts froze for a moment.
He was wrong, wasn't he his boyfriend?
But, he just saw...
Wen Yi Che couldn't help but doubt his eyesight.
Or maybe it wasn't actually a kiss, but just a misplaced movement that made the two of them look like they were kissing, but in fact the other person was just an "ordinary classmate" as Bai Yuan said...
Pei Jin naturally stretched out his hand and put it around Bai Yuan's waist, acting like the first wife. With a possessive attitude, he met Wen Yiche's gaze without any hesitation and said word by word:
"I am her fiancé."
fiancé……! ! !
? ? ? ? ? ?
? !!! !!! !!! !!!
A crack successfully appeared on Wen Yiche's face, which was always smiling steadily.
"……fiancé?"
He repeated the word in a whisper, with a stiff smile, maintaining the last bit of composure as he looked at Bai Yuan, bypassing Pei Jin and looking at her inquiringly.
Pei Jin also looked at Bai Yuan, with a hint of urging in his deep blue eyes.
"Yes." Bai Yuan looked up at Pei Jin, without refutation, and quietly accepted the identity, stating the established fact, "I will hold an engagement ceremony with him when I turn 18."
"So not yet?" Wen Yiche couldn't help but blurt out, looking directly into Bai Yuan's eyes, pressing step by step, "You are in a business marriage? You are forced? You——"
In his impression, if Bai Yuan didn't want to, no one would have the ability and means to force her to participate in a business marriage, and the Bai family did not need to use a business marriage to exchange for benefits.
Even though he knew this, Wen Yiche still couldn't help but think about that tiny possibility.
What if?
What if Bai Yuan was forced to do this?
There was a gloomy flash in Wen Yiche's eyes.
If that's the case, then he...
"It's only two years left."
Without waiting for Bai Yuan to answer, Pei Jin took the lead and stood in front of her, holding Wen Yi Che's hand before she could take it back.
"When the time comes, I hope you can come to my and Bai Yuan's engagement party..." A proud and cunning smile appeared on the young man's beautiful face, "...Brother."
It also fulfills Wen Yiche's self-proclaimed title of "brother".
Seeing Wen Yiche's obviously broken defense, Pei Jin was secretly happy in his heart. He was so proud of himself for a moment. It was not enough for him to be so happy. He turned his head to look at Bai Yuan, and his voice softened a bit, and he urged:
"Bai Yuan, do you want to go out with Big Brother? But I don't want to go back alone, can you accompany me first?"
Hearing this, Bai Yuan glanced at him sideways.
Suddenly it clamped???
