Endless Fall-Chapter 154 - 154 Long Expectation
154 Long Expectation
Jiang Ye did not know the truth, nor did he know how ‘suffering’ Pei Zhi was during this period of time. Instead, he gave the idea of living together a serious thought.
Based on the current situation, he would most likely be with the filming crew all the time.
If they lived separately, they would definitely not have enough time to spend with each other.
“Yilan.” Jiang Ye stopped in his tracks. “Can we live together after I finish filming my next drama?”
“How long will it take before it finishes?”
“Until January.”
The time he gave was very close to what Pei Yilan originally had in mind.
“Sure.” She said seriously, “You have to keep your word. You can’t change your mind at the last minute.”
Jiang Ye put his arm around her waist. “I won’t.” He paused for a moment and said, “But I think it’s best to sleep separately at the beginning.”
“Why?”
“I want to take it one step at a time with you. Only by taking every step seriously can our relationship last.”
Pei Yilan could tell from his eyes that he wanted this relationship to last forever.
“Okay.” She leaned on his shoulder and continued walking. “I’ll listen to you.”
A smile appeared in Jiang Ye’s eyes.
He sent Pei Yilan to the entrance of the courtyard. “I have to film tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I can’t be with you.”
“Then I’ll see you on Friday?”
“Yes, I’ll pick you up from work on Friday.”
Pei Yilan pulled him to the right and hid somewhere the janitor couldn’t see. “Can I get more kisses?” 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
“Yes.” Jiang Ye leaned over and kissed her.
They kissed against the tiled wall and did not even notice a car driving over slowly.
Seeing that they were kissing non-stop, Pei Zicheng cleared his throat to remind them.
The sudden sound broke the lovey-dovey vibe.
Pei Yilan opened her eyes. The moment she saw that smiling face, she felt her ears turn red in a second.
Hearing her call the man Dad, Jiang Ye quickly turned around and took off his baseball cap.
He stood up straight. “Hello, Uncle.”
Only then did Pei Qisheng see his face clearly.
Unlike other parents, he was not in a hurry to ask a bunch of personal questions the first time they met. “Where did you go?”
“Near the television tower.”
“There’s a fireworks show tonight?”
“No.” Jiang Ye reported what they did together. He was so nervous that his back was tense.
Looking at Jiang Ye, Pei Zicheng felt like he behaved exactly like him the first time he saw his father-in-law back then.
He turned to the side. “Do you smoke?”
“Yes.”
“What brand?”
Jiang Ye took out the cigarette box from his pocket. Before he could answer, his sleeve was grabbed.
He understood what Pei Yilan meant and quickly handed one to Pei Qisheng.
“I’ll light it for you.”
“No need.” He wanted to wait until he was in the shower.
Pei Qisheng looked like he didn’t want to smoke, but he actually hid the cigar in his pocket. “Do you want to go in and sit for a while?”
Jiang Ye did not even prepare a greeting gift and was too embarrassed to go in. “It’s too late today. I’ll visit you again next time.”
“Alright.” Pei Zicheng did not insist. “Then I’ll go back first. You two go on.”
The moment the car disappeared from sight, Jiang Ye leaned against the wall and let out a long breath.
He put on his baseball cap and rubbed Pei Yilan’s head. “You should go home too.”
Pei Yilan agreed with a red face.
“Tell me when you get to Ming Xin Mansion.” She said good night to Jiang Ye and turned to walk into the courtyard.
Seeing her disappear around the corner, he slowly lit a cigarette and left the alley with a smile.

The luminescent moon was gradually replaced by the warm sun.
A group of media people registered at the door and followed the crowd to a conference hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.
Sheng Heng Corporation held new product launch events very often, but the president only attended two a year.
Therefore, there were more reporters than usual this time.
“Why isn’t President Pei here yet?” Meng Xi, who was sitting in the third row, raised her chin and looked around.
“It doesn’t start until ten sharp.”
“Won’t he show up early?”
“Not usually.” Lin Jiao turned off the phone screen and took two sips of juice.
She looked at the PR department employees who entered one after another and greeted Pei Yilan.
“Jiaojiao, you’re here so early.”
“It’s not early at all.”
“Where is he?”
Lin Jiao paused. “Coming soon. Shall we have lunch together?”
“Alright.” Pei Yilan looked at her colleagues and found that most people had arrived.
Not long after they ended the topic, the curtains in the conference room automatically closed, completely blocking the sunlight that was projected on the LED screen.
When the clock struck ten, the host appeared.
He held the microphone and gave an opening speech that lasted ten minutes before explaining the new product type.
“President of Sheng Heng, Mr. Pei Zhi, please come on stage!” He turned to the left, causing everyone to follow his gaze.
A round of applause sounded.
The man walked straight to the podium and barged into their line of sight with his back facing the LED screen.
He was wearing a custom-made suit with his collar buttoned to the top. At the same time, he exuded an aura of dominance, making people want to submit to him.
“Good morning, everyone.” He raised his hand to push the gold-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and glanced down.
His cold gaze and sexy voice instantly won the hearts of many women.
They looked at that god-like face and were stunned for a long time like someone had pressed a pause button on them.
The host broke the silence. “President Pei, please introduce the new product to everyone.”
Pei Zhi retracted his gaze from the third row.
He looked at the LED screen. “The smart robot Sheng Heng introduced this time is specially designed for old people who live alone and have difficulty moving. Not only does it have the ability to check heartbeat, blood pressure, and so on, but it can also deal with a series of problems in life.”
After he was done introducing the robot called Xiao Heng, therobot came on stage to greet everyone and let the host test different functions.
Its omnipotence shocked everyone present.
A reporter asked, “President Pei, what’s the presale price of Xiao Heng? Is it the same as the selling price?”
“Thirty-six thousand, same.” f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
“Is there a discount for disabled people?”
“Of course.” Pei Zhi placed a hand on the edge of the podium and stood casually. “The first 300 people who have a disability only need to provide a piece of evidence to get the robot for free.”
Another reporter asked, “Are you worried that it might be copied?”
“Sheng Heng’s legal department is not to be trifled with.”
“Then what drove you to do that?”
“What do you think?” Pei Zhi looked at him indifferently, not wanting to answer such a stupid question.
