Chapter 186 The White Moonlight Who Died Early in the Substitute Novel (23)

After spilling the coffee, Cang Lan leisurely leaned back in her seat, her posture casual and exuding a sense of languor. She glanced indifferently at her surroundings, completely unconcerned about the pointing fingers and whispers directed at her, as if it were all none of her business.

Just then, Assistant Liang pushed Pei Jinxiu into the coffee shop.

As soon as Assistant Liang entered, he saw the coffee spilled on Jiang Ciyou's face and closed his eyes helplessly.

Why is he always there when these dramatic things happen?

As Pei Jinxiu was pushed in, his gaze was immediately drawn to Cang Lan, who had splashed Jiang Ciyou's coffee.

He looked at Cang Lan and found that her temperament was very different from before. The current Mu Si'an was full of vigor, but she also had an arrogant feeling. However, this change attracted his attention.

Therefore, he subconsciously concluded that Jiang Ciyou must have said something excessive to make Mu Si'an so angry.

Pei Jinxiu frowned slightly, a hint of nostalgia on his face. "An'an, do you remember this place? Every time we came, you would eat your favorite cloud cake, and I would always wait for you to finish eating before we went home together."

Jiang Ciyou covered her face with her hands. Hearing Pei Jinxiu's voice, she thought he would speak up for her, so she quickly lowered her hands, her face showing grievance and vulnerability, and said:

"Jin Xiu, it's all my fault. But I don't blame Miss Mu. I should have given her the right to splash me; she didn't do it on purpose. I really don't know what I did to offend her. I just wanted to get along well with her, after all, we're getting married soon..."

She tried to steer the situation back on track with her witty and charming words, her eyes full of pitiful vulnerability, and she secretly glanced at Pei Jinxiu to observe his reaction.

Seeing that Jiang Ciyou had interrupted him, Pei Jinxiu said impatiently, "You know what you said was excessive, so why did you still appear in front of her? Since it was your fault that Si An splashed you, you should reflect on yourself."

Canglan watched the two of them quietly, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if she were enjoying a good show.

Jiang Ciyou's face immediately turned deathly pale, her eyes quickly filled with tears, and she said in a sobbing voice, "I know, I will never appear in front of Miss Mu again, waaaaaah..."

But deep down she hoped Pei Jinxiu would comfort her. She bit her lower lip, her body trembling slightly, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.

Just as Jiang Ciyou was about to rush out, Cang Qiong grabbed her from behind and said to Pei Jinxiu with a smile, "President Pei, you two are getting married. Miss Jiang is crying, so hurry up and comfort her!"

Jiang Ciyou was angered by Cang Lan's actions and said angrily, "What are you pretending for? You'd love for us to fall out, so stop pretending to be kind!"

Upon seeing this, Pei Jinxiu immediately snapped at Jiang Ciyou: "How could you speak to Si An like that? She's already asking me to marry you, and you still want to give in to her!"

Cang Lan quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, we're all getting married soon, it's not good for her face to be injured. Assistant Liang, please take Miss Jiang to the hospital."

When Pei Jinxiu heard Cang Lan mention his marriage to Jiang Ciyou, he felt a surge of disgust, but he still subconsciously obeyed Cang Lan's request and said to Assistant Liang, "Let's go to the hospital."

Assistant Liang responded, "Okay."

Soon, the group headed to the hospital. Cang Lan even kindly asked Assistant Liang to handle the admission procedures for Jiang Ciyou. Coincidentally, this was the same VIP ward where Pei Jinxiu had previously stayed.

Jiang Ciyou's left cheek turned bright red as pain shot through her. Fearfully, she grabbed Pei Jinxiu's hand. "Jinxiu, I'm not going to be disfigured, am I?"

However, before she could finish speaking, a perceptive nurse quickly wheeled her into the operating room.

After that, only he and Canglan remained in the ward.

Pei Jinxiu's gaze was fixed on Cang Lan. "Mu Si'an, why did you ask me to go to the coffee shop we used to go to today? What do you mean by this?"

Cang Lan propped his head up with one hand, leaned back lazily in his chair, and said with a meaningful smile, "Of course, there's an old score to settle."

In her previous life, Jiang Ciyou inflicted humiliation on the original owner in this very coffee shop, and she wouldn't let it go so easily. Today, she would make her pay double in that same place.

As he spoke, Cang Lan suddenly stood up, grabbed Pei Jinxiu's chin tightly, and said, "Now, I can be considered your and Miss Jiang's witness at your wedding."

At this moment, the little white system in Cang Lan's mind suddenly spoke up: ["Host, you've hit this guy several times already, why does he still act like he likes you? Are you sure he's not a masochist?"]

Cang Lan replied in her heart: "You guessed right, Pei Jinxiu is a jerk. Believe me or not, the more I beat him, the more he thinks I like him."

Pei Jinxiu was taken aback by Cang Lan's sudden approach. Before he could react, Cang Lan raised his hand and slapped him across the face with a "smack," a gesture that was somewhat insulting.

The slap was crisp, but not heavy.

Pei Jinxiu's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. A strange wave of emotion surged within him, and he inexplicably longed for Cang Lan to exert more force and give him more.

It was as if a fire had been ignited deep within him, his eyes held a hint of longing and bewilderment, and his heart pounded violently in his chest—a feeling he had never experienced before.

Immediately afterwards, a knock on the door rang out abruptly, and the nurse brought Jiang Ciyou back after her surgery.

This brought Pei Jinxiu back to his senses. Thinking about how much he had longed for Cang Lan's "special treatment," a wave of shame, anger, and regret washed over him. He wished he could slap himself hard across the face.

Meanwhile, in the ward, Jiang Ciyou's originally delicate face looked a little disheveled due to the burn on her left cheek. When she saw Pei Jinxiu, her voice immediately carried a hint of weakness and grievance: "Jinxiu, I'm in so much pain. I don't know why Miss Mu treated me like that at the coffee shop just now."

Is it because you're going to marry me that Miss Mu is treating me like this?

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Pei Jinxiu out of the corner of her eye to see if he understood her meaning and would help her teach Mu Si'an a lesson.

However, in reality, these words of conversation did not elicit any reaction from Pei Jinxiu.

At this moment, Pei Jinxiu stood there, stunned and incredulous, still reeling from the shock of what he had just experienced, which seemed to have triggered his masochistic tendencies.

He subconsciously gave a perfunctory reply to Jiang Ciyou's words.

Having achieved her goal, Canglan decisively left the ward.

As soon as Cang Lan left, Pei Jinxiu's thoughts became chaotic. He looked at his hands and couldn't help but wonder if he felt that strange sensation whenever any woman hit him, or if it was only Mu Si'an who could do it.

Thinking about it, he inexplicably said to Jiang Ciyou beside him, "Come on, slap me."
