Seeing such a respectful attitude, the man in the suit was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the girl in front of him was not an ordinary person. Fu Sili stood up slowly, raised her eyes to look at the man, and said in a calm tone: "As far as I know, after the hotel was renovated and opened, the monthly presidential suite service has not been opened to customers. If you are willing, you can contact our guest room manager." Unexpectedly, the lie was exposed on the spot. The man in the suit's face suddenly changed from green to red, and his expression was more exciting than the color palette. Unexpectedly, the girl's voice was soft and pleasant, but full of lethality. The less anxious and annoyed she was, the more embarrassed she seemed to him. The attention of the guests around him was gradually attracted. Fu Sili didn't want to make a big fuss, so he followed the manager and left. The friend witnessed the whole process from the side, and finally came up after the man left, patted the man on the shoulder, and sounded sad. "You deserve it. I asked you to strike up a conversation when you saw a beautiful woman. Fortunately, she didn't argue with you, otherwise her husband would just move his fingers and your company would go bankrupt tomorrow without even knowing it." The man in the suit brushed his friend's hand away with an ugly expression: "Who is it?" The friend glanced at the man and teased: "You don't know who she is?" As he said that, he picked up the magazine that Fu Sili had just placed on the coffee table and pointed to the cover to show him. "Well, this is her husband. You should be familiar with him." It is clearly from this year. There is only a silhouette of a suit on the cover, a pair of hands with clear joints, and a platinum watch clasped on the thin wrist. The whole body has an indescribable quality, cold and noble. "The eldest son of the Pei family, the legitimate heir to the Pei family. His mother is the youngest actress in the entertainment industry. She has taken over the group at a young age. She is worth more than 100 billion. She is the youngest leader in the top 10 in the world. Her methods are not inferior to his father's."

Melting In The Heart
Impressum neobooks
十一月,纽约。
夜幕悄然降临,曼哈顿中城的曼吉酒店大楼被明亮的灯光照亮。
与平常不同的是,今晚这里将举行香港著名基金会主席英德容的60岁生日宴会。
宴会厅外,今晚受邀参加生日宴会的嘉宾大多是来自香港城的华人。他们静静地站着观看,脸上纷纷露出赞叹之色。
酒店刚刚进行了大规模的装修,原本装修设施陈旧的酒店如今已焕然一新。
行政楼层的墙壁贴有Loro Piana纯羊绒壁纸,就连脚下的瓷砖都是Versace限量版,将极致奢华风格发挥到极致。每一次整改,付斯丽都与世界顶级空间设计师进行交流。就这样过去了,最后果然不出所料,效果显着。
此刻,傅司礼坐在一旁的沙发上,环顾四周宾客们的表情,满意地回头。
她随手从杂志架上抽出一本财经杂志,垂下睫毛,看到封面,思绪微微一动。
然而,还没等她细看,一道陌生的男声突然在她身边响起。
“中国人?”
付司礼顿了顿,转过身来,看到了一个西装革履、打着领带的年轻人,看上去不到三十岁,打着直领带,看上去就像是一位华尔街的金融人士。
看向她的时候,西装男子的眼眸中闪过一丝惊讶。
酒店走廊里的灯光明亮,将女孩的肤色衬得更加白净,眼睛闪闪发亮。
不等她说话,男人先开口:“这家酒店的落成,有我公司的部分赞助。”
他挑眉,从西装口袋里掏出一张名片递给她。他不禁有些自豪地说:“明年《时代》杂志会报道一把手,不出意外的话,就是我了。”
傅司礼低头看了眼名片。果然是华尔街比较知名的投资公司。
她立刻就明白了这个男人的目的,这样的人她遇到过很多。
以为她对自己的背景感到惊讶,西装男子顿时神色更加得意,语气也变得更加傲慢。
“你们年轻的女孩子应该都喜欢在这些高级酒店拍照吧,毕竟俯瞰曼哈顿最好的景色应该就在这里。”
他的语气变得意味深长,有些试探:“我在这里订了总统套房,如果你想看风景,那里的视角更好,你随时都可以去。”
如果说刚才男人的语气是傲慢无礼的话,那么最后一句话就完全是轻浮了。
傅司礼皱起眉头,绝美的脸上带着冰冷的神情,却没有什么阴沉的表情。
还没等她说话,酒店管家总监就匆匆走了过来。他看也不看男人一眼,径直走到了傅司礼的面前,语气带着歉意。
“傅小姐,实在抱歉,让您久等了。”
看到如此恭敬的态度,西装男子愣了一下,随即意识到,眼前的少女并不是普通人。
傅司礼缓缓站起身来,抬眸看向男人,语气平静道:“据我所知,酒店装修开业后,每月的总统套房服务还没有对顾客开放。如果如果愿意,可以联系我们的客房经理。”
没想到谎言当场就被拆穿了。西装男子的脸色顿时由绿转红,表情比调色盘还要激动。
没想到,女孩的声音轻柔好听,却充满了杀伤力。
她越不那么焦虑和恼怒,在他看来她就越尴尬。
The attention of the guests around him was gradually attracted. Fu Sili didn't want to make a big fuss, so he followed the manager and left.
The friend witnessed the whole process from the side, and finally came up after the man left, patted the man on the shoulder, and sounded sad.
"You deserve it. I asked you to strike up a conversation when you saw a beautiful woman. Fortunately, she didn't argue with you, otherwise her husband would just move his fingers and your company would go bankrupt tomorrow without even knowing it."
The man in the suit brushed his friend's hand away with an ugly expression: "Who is it?"
The friend glanced at the man and teased: "You don't know who she is?"
As he said that, he picked up the magazine that Fu Sili had just placed on the coffee table and pointed to the cover to show him.
"Well, this is her husband. You should be familiar with him."
It is clearly from this year. There is only a silhouette of a suit on the cover, a pair of hands with clear joints, and a platinum watch clasped on the thin wrist. The whole body has an indescribable quality, cold and noble.
"The eldest son of the Pei family, the legitimate heir to the Pei family. His mother is the youngest actress in the entertainment industry. She has taken over the group at a young age. She is worth more than 100 billion. She is the youngest leader in the top 10 in the world. Her methods are not inferior to his father's."
"The only drawback is that you get married young. To outsiders, it looks like a business marriage, and you marry the person you just struck up a conversation with."
The man's face suddenly became even more ugly, and he began to regret his impulsive and frivolous behavior.
"The eldest daughter of the Fu family in Jiangcheng is now the real wife of the current CEO of the Pei family. At the Paris Ladies Ball the year before last, she wore a dress made by a Chinese designer. It was trending on Twitter, making the Chinese designer The teacher’s reputation spread overseas.”
But the friend continued to sneer: "The money you make in a year may not be enough to buy the diamond in her hand."
-
At the same time, the front desk manager personally sent Fu Sili to a private room.
The lights in the suite were bright, Ying Tan was trying on a dress, and several stylists were standing around to help her take care of the hem of her skirt.
There are rumors in the circle that after the birthday banquet, the foundation president Ying Derong plans to pass the throne to his children. As the eldest daughter of the foundation president, Ying Tan is undoubtedly one of the protagonists of tonight's birthday banquet. One, it is natural to make a grand debut.
Ying Tan was swaying in front of several expensive necklaces and greeted without looking back: "Here you come, help me choose a necklace."
The two have been friends for seven or eight years from high school to now when they graduate from college. In addition, Fu Sili is the daughter of a top jewelry designer, and Ying Tan has no doubts about her vision.
Fu Sili walked over on high heels, looked at the color of her haute couture dress today, then considered her usual preferences, and pointed her in the direction.
"This one."
The stylist on the side quickly put on the ice jadeite necklace for Ying Tan. It looked more solemn and luxurious than other diamond necklaces, instantly adding beauty to her whole body.
Ying Tan raised her lips with satisfaction, "Yes, she is indeed the daughter of a top jewelry designer."
Seeing that she was alone, she asked strangely: "Why are you alone, Mr. Pei?"
On the sofa, Fu Sili paused.
"have no idea."
"Isn't it?! You don't even know where your husband is?"
Fu Sili really didn't know how to answer this.
The last time she and Pei Shiyin met was more than four months ago.
They haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, and the relationship between husband and wife is nothing more than that.
Maybe it was because there was no need to tell her where he went or what he was busy with.
Fu Sili looked down at the diamond ring on her ring finger, a trace of sadness appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she murmured.
"You said I was too impulsive when I agreed to get married?"
Ying Tan really couldn't understand what she was thinking, so he asked helplessly: "You have been a childhood sweetheart with him for so many years, and you have liked to follow him since you were a child. Why are you so impulsive?"
Fu Sili choked and argued hard: "That was before."
Pei and Fu's parents had a good relationship with each other, and she had grown up with the Pei brothers and sisters since she was a child. Everyone in the circle knew how much she liked to follow Pei Shi invisibly when she was a child, not to mention that Ying Tan had been in high school since she was a child. Know her.
Fu Sili felt very embarrassed every time he mentioned it.
Listening to her unwillingness to admit it, Ying Tan said in a coaxing tone: "Okay, okay, before."
Fu Sili held her face in a daze, and suddenly thought of a famous line in the movie, "There is a saying that love without material things is just a piece of loose sand ..."
Ying Tan stared at the blinding diamond ring on her ring finger and was speechless.
"My princess, wearing hundreds of millions on her hand, still has no substance?"
Fu Sili was speechless, but she still said bravely: "We have no feelings."
A marriage without emotion is still a mess.
He was nominally her husband, but four months had passed and she didn't even know his whereabouts. Even when Ying Tan asked her just now, she didn't know how to answer.
Even if she liked him again, she didn't want to let herself be reduced to such a humble situation.
The idea that was still hesitant suddenly became firm at this moment.
The next time we meet, she will take the initiative to file for divorce.
The congratulatory gift for Uncle Ying was delivered, and Fu Sili didn't want to stay too long tonight.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Ying Tan hurriedly stopped her, not wanting her to leave just like that: "Hey, what if President Pei comes here soon?"
Fu Sili had no hope at all: "Forget it."
Just as he was about to leave, someone pushed open the door and entered.
The man was tall and straight, wearing a dark blue suit with a striped tie. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, covering a pair of narrow and shrewd eyes with handsome features.
Ning Kaizhou saw her and gave her a gentle smile.
"Sili, you're here."
Ning Kaizhou is Ying Tan's fiancé. He comes from a family of lawyers. The Ning family and the Pei family have quite a relationship. Ning Kaizhou's grandfather was also a lawyer. When the Pei family was first established, he helped the Pei family solve a difficult lawsuit. , and now he has also changed his career to become a businessman.
It's just that Fu Sili never liked him. Although he came from a family of lawyers, he had a strong smell of copper and his eyes were full of calculations.
But due to Ying Tan's relationship, even if she didn't like this person, she didn't show it on her face.
"Mr. Ning."
Seeing that she was alone, Ning Kaizhou probed without any trace in her words: "Isn't Mr. Pei here yet?"
Fu Sili heard what he meant and smiled: "He should come over after finishing his work."
Before Ning Kaizhou could ask any more questions, she said half-jokingly: "I'm leaving first. Please stay with Ying Tan. Don't let her be bullied."
The man smiled: "Of course."
After Fu Sili's figure disappeared at the door, Ning Kaizhou motioned with his eyes to the stylists to go out first. When there was no one else in the room, he immediately put away his smile and sat down on the sofa leisurely.
Ning Kaizhou picked up the champagne on the coffee table, leaned back on the sofa, and took a slow sip: "Miss Fu came here by herself. It seems that she doesn't even know the whereabouts of Mr. Pei. It shows that there are rumors about their marriage. Bu Li Shi is just in name only. Mrs. Pei's position will be replaced sooner or later ..."
Seeing that his true face was exposed, Ying Tan's expression turned cold and he interrupted him rudely: "Don't use your own perspective to speculate on other people's marriages. President Pei and Sili grew up together. What do outsiders know?"
After hearing her words, Ning Yizhou tugged on his tie and sneered casually: "Ying Tan, are you too naive? No matter how beautiful a woman is, it doesn't mean that a man will be loyal for a lifetime, let alone someone like Pei Shiyin standing in the pyramid. The man on the tip.”
In the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Ying Tan looked disgusted and turned around without looking at him again: "Don't think Mr. Pei is the same as you."
The conversation ended unhappily, and Ning Kaizhou had no intention of arguing with her anymore and got up from the sofa.
"Okay, smile more, we have to socialize later."
-
Fu Sili asked the driver to go back when he first arrived. He originally thought that Pei Shiyin would show up and leave in his car.
But he didn't show up at all tonight.
The feeling of failed expectations and disappointment accumulated too much, and she suddenly felt that this was so boring.
When it was broken, it was broken. Fu Sili took out his mobile phone and with a move of his fingers, dragged the person who had been at the top of the list into the blacklist.
Come on in you.
Fu Sili breathed a long sigh of relief, as if something had been lifted off her heart, and a piece of space suddenly seemed empty.
There were always traffic jams in New York at night, so she chose to walk for a while and then ask the driver to pick her up when she got tired.
After making up her mind, Fu Sili put her phone back into her bag and left from the hotel's main entrance.
But she didn't see a low-key black Bentley slowly parked in front of the hotel behind her.
Under the cover of night, the fountain at the entrance of the hotel sprays out streams of water. The car windows are covered with dark film. The man sitting in the back seat has a straight suit and a dark gray tie. The light and shadow are reflected by the car windows. The projection came in, covering the upper half of his face, and only the sharp-edged jawline could be seen clearly.
He lowered his head slightly, holding the mobile phone in his knuckled hand. The light in the car was dim, and the wedding ring on his ring finger was shining brightly. It still exuded a cool light, and his attitude was high.
Tonight, the United States issued a severe weather warning and a large number of airport flights were cancelled. For safety reasons, private flights were also subject to flight control and were forced to delay takeoff for an hour. Even Pei Shiyin was helpless.
The hotel doorman respectfully stepped forward and opened the back seat door. Pei Shiyin bent down and got out of the car, taking out his mobile phone to send a message.
"I have arrived."
However, as soon as I clicked send, a bright red exclamation mark appeared in front of it.
"The message was sent but was rejected by the other party."
Seeing this prompt, the man narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dark color of unknown meaning appearing in his eyes.
At this moment, the sharp-eyed assistant Wen Bo on the side caught sight of Fu Sili's leaving figure.
He quickly turned his head and said to Pei Shiyin: "Mr. Pei, this is my wife."
Hearing this, Pei Shiyin raised his eyes and saw the familiar figure at the crossroads not far away.
Most of the colors in winter are gray, but that touch of color is particularly eye-catching, as if I have mistakenly entered a catwalk.
In the neon lights of the city, the woman was wearing a camel-colored tunic coat with a very thin waist and high heels, revealing her straight white legs. She had a slim and beautiful figure.
No matter how cold the weather is, she is still eye-catching among the crowd.
-
Fu Sili was thinking about how to bring up the divorce when she unknowingly walked into a deserted alley, and even the sound of traffic was far away behind her.
When she came back to her senses, there was silence all around. She didn't know how far she had walked. The streets were empty, and there were only solitary street lights on. It seemed that she had slightly deviated from her route home.
Feeling the slightest chill on her neck, Fu Sili raised her head in confusion and saw the dark night among the tall buildings, with cotton-like snowflakes floating lightly in the air.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
It actually snowed.
However, before she could fully appreciate the snowy scene, she caught a glimpse of a shadow on the ground behind her in addition to her own shadow.
Just looking at the reflection on the ground, the other person was tall and tall, and he was a man.
I don't know if it's her imagination, but these days, she always seems to feel like someone is following her behind her, and she has an uneasy feeling of being watched in secret.
Fu Sili felt a little frightened, and unconsciously quickened her pace, and the shadow behind her also walked closer.
The cold wind blew into my collar, and goosebumps appeared on my exposed calves. The excitement brought by the first snow was gone in an instant.
After confirming that the other party was indeed following her, her heart beat faster and almost jumped out of her throat. Just as she was about to speed up, she found that she had entered a dead end.
Hearing the footsteps approaching from behind, Fu Sili's hands trembled imperceptibly. He had already touched the power button on both sides of the phone, and his other hand found the electric shock stick for self-defense from the bag.
Hearing the sizzling sound of electricity, she felt a little more at ease and calculated the chances of a successful escape.
The moment she turned around, she stretched out her hand with the electric shock rod, but her wrist was easily grasped by the other party.
At this moment, Fu Sili's high heels tripped over a pebble. Fu Sili's center of gravity was unsteady. Before a exclamation could be heard from her lips, someone hugged her around the waist and she fell into a familiar embrace.
The clear and pleasant fragrance of fir filled her nostrils. After her mind went blank for a few seconds, she suddenly realized something, and her heart suddenly jumped heavily.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and as her gaze slowly moved upward, the man's sharp profile was very close at hand.
Pei Shiyin was wearing a formal suit today, with a black coat on top. The cut outlined his broad and straight shoulder lines. The light from the street lamp cast a dark shadow on his stern face, and every inch of light and shadow fell just right.
After not seeing each other for more than four months, his outline became deeper. His red phoenix eyes followed his father's. The ends of his eyes were narrow, and those dark and cold eyes reflected her confused expression at this moment.
The man's warm palms clasped her waist firmly, and the bright snowflakes fell on the shoulders of the coat, melting in an instant, and the light and shadow changed, giving people a hazy and unreal feeling.
The sizzling sound of electricity in her hand reminded her that everything in front of her was real.
The man lowered his head and glanced at the electric shock rod in her hand, his voice was low and magnetic.
"You came up and murdered your husband. Do you want to inherit the inheritance?"
The Bentley drove smoothly into the city's traffic, and the warmth inside the car blocked all the snowflakes flying outside the window.
Fu Sili sat in the back row in shock, her heart still beating in her chest.
She couldn't help turning her head to look at the person beside her, and said accusingly: "Why didn't you call me out just now?"
And what he just said, what does it mean to murder your own husband? How could anyone curse himself like this?
Pei Shiyin glanced sideways at her and replied lightly: "Forgot."
" ......"
She didn't know what to say when her plastic husband, whom she hadn't seen for months, suddenly fell from the sky. Pei Shiyin, on the other hand, didn't talk much. He had been calm since he was a child, and now he could be called cold and taciturn.
The thoughts in Fu Sili's mind were in a mess, but he couldn't stop glancing to the side from the corner of his eye.
The man's appearance remains the same, but he seems to be a little thinner than the last time we saw him, and his profile is more three-dimensional, cold and dignified.
The two received their certificates a year ago. Due to an accident that happened one night, they only received the certificates and did not hold a public wedding. Fu Sili had not graduated yet and could only continue to study in the United States, and Pei Shiyin had just taken over the Pei Group. Soon, the two were separated in two places, and they met only a few times after receiving the certificate.
To be precise, their marriage was caused by an accident. From the beginning, they were destined to spend less time together and more time apart.
She had just decided to bring up the idea of divorce next time they met, and he appeared in front of her so quickly.
Was God hinting to her that it should end quickly?
Fu Sili didn't want to lower her head first and decided to interpret the words "silence is golden" to the end.
The phone in the bag suddenly rang, breaking the eerie silence in the back row.
She picked up the call as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. It was a call from Ying Tan.
There was still the sound of howling wind and snow on the other end of the phone, and Ying Tan said angrily: "I just heard someone said that they saw Mr. Pei at the door of the hotel? He was gone just as I came down."
"Um."
Hearing that she was uncharacteristically precious about words, Ying Tan guessed something was wrong and asked, "Are you with Mr. Pei now?"
Fu Sili couldn't help but glance at the figure reflected in the car window, and reluctantly hummed again.
Ying Tan clicked his tongue, then turned to ask: "Mr. Pei will come back, right? Half of the people in the banquet hall today came for Mr. Pei, and they all came to me to ask where Mr. Pei went."
Pei Shiyin disappeared from the public for such a long time. There were many rumors from the outside world. Some people speculated whether there was some power struggle within the Pei Group. Others said that Pei Shiyin was seriously injured and fell unconscious, so he did not appear in public view. Or because of some unknown reasons.
Someone had heard that Pei Shiyin would come to attend the birthday banquet tonight, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to find out whether the rumors were true or not.
This was also the reason why Fu Sili didn't want to stay for the banquet. People with ulterior motives would try to trick her, such as Ning Kaizhou, and she was too lazy to deal with it.
Fu Sili took the phone away and asked him softly: "Will you go back later?"
The man nodded. He needed to deliver the birthday gift to Mr. Ying personally.
After receiving the answer, Fu Sili turned to the phone and said, "He said he would go back later."
Just when she answered the phone, Pei Shiyin's eyes fell on her calmly.
The woman was holding the mobile phone, tilting her head slightly, and her hair fell down her face, outlining her bright and delicate profile.
She pursed her lips slightly, but her pair of fox eyes that were originally flamboyant and beautiful were now lowered. Maybe it was because she had been outside for too long, and the tip of her nose was a little red from the cold, which was a bit pitiful.
She has been like this since she was a child. Every emotion is written on her face. As long as she is unhappy for a moment, someone will always find ways to make her happy.
It's just that Pei Shiyin doesn't have the habit of accommodating others.
But after a moment of silence, he still made a move.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Sili just raised her eyes and saw the man handing something over, and she was stunned.
He took the initiative to explain: "I happened to see it at the auction the day before yesterday."
Lying peacefully on the goose velvet cloth was an uncut pink diamond. It was of rare purity and should have been eight carats. It was so dazzling that it was very expensive.
Even though he was in a dark carriage, it seemed like the surroundings were illuminated instantly.
Even though she had been used to seeing all kinds of expensive jewelry since she was a child, she still couldn't take her eyes away when she saw beautiful diamonds.
They have been childhood sweethearts for many years. Although there is no so-called marital relationship, Pei Shiyin is still very clear about her preferences.
For example, she likes pink, beautiful diamonds, bags, and all flashy things. She is extremely vulgar.
No, cannot be tempted.
She was a little reluctant and had to look away.
Finally, Fu Sili took a deep breath and endured the astringent feeling in her heart.
"Pei Shiyin, let's get a divorce."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to stop flowing for a moment. The driver and assistant in the front row were also startled, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
The man's deep gaze stayed on her face, he glanced at the ring again, and frowned for a rare moment.
The subtle change in her expression just now had another meaning in Pei Shiyin's eyes.
Fu Sili couldn't figure out what he meant. Just when she took a deep breath and wanted to speak again, she saw his brows widening.
Then, I heard him ask in a low voice: "You think it's too small?"
“ ………….”
Is she that kind of person?
Fu Sili was almost speechless with anger, so she took a deep breath and endured it.
"No, I'm serious."
He raised his eyes and stared at her: "Reason."
The pressure from the man made her breathless. Fu Sili bit her lips unconsciously, feeling uncontrollably aggrieved.
Because he didn't like her at all and only married her because they had sex while drunk, so he could disappear without saying a word for four months, and she didn't know anything about his whereabouts.
"We were often together when we were young, but the relationship between childhood sweethearts and the relationship between marriage is still different. When we made this decision, we were both impulsive, not to mention that we were just drunk and messy ..."
She was embarrassed to say the last word, so she swallowed it back, and her ears couldn't help but turn red.
"That's all."
As the last two words fell, the atmosphere inside the car became even stiffer, and the temperature seemed to drop in a straight line, almost comparable to the coldness outside.
Realizing that she was not joking, Pei Shiyin's eyes darkened a bit, and the emotions in his eyes were difficult to distinguish.
After a while, Fu Sili heard him say in a cold voice: "I don't agree."
Hearing this, she subconsciously clenched her fingertips, some other thoughts emerged from her mind uncontrollably, and she turned to look at him.
"Why?"
Facing her bright gaze, Pei Shiyin's Adam's apple rolled slightly, but his voice remained cold.
"There are still three months until we get married and it will only be one year. If rumors of divorce spread too early, it will have a negative impact on both companies. In addition, grandpa has been in poor health recently and can't stand the excitement."
The anticipation that had just been ignited was instantly doused by a basin of cold water.
Sure enough, this is what Pei Shiyin would consider.
