Chapter 493
493 The church
“Why are you really in Bordeaux?”
She could not believe it and asked a few questions in a row. PEI Yi could not help but lower his head and kiss the top of her head. His heart softened because of what she said.
Jiang se was not sure if she was in Bordeaux, yet she still dared to come here so rashly just because of a single word she said.
Someone at the bus stop raised his phone. Someone must have recognized Jiang se. She had been nominated for the Best Actress award at the French Film Festival for “the demon” and was as famous as some European and American actresses. He did not want to share the intimate moments between them with the public. PEI Yi pulled her into his arms and blocked the side of her face with his hand.
“Let’s leave this place first,”
The car that PEI Yi had driven over was an off-road vehicle with a large interior. When the two of them got into the car, Jiang se was reminded of him from a few years ago.
At that time, she had just been reincarnated. She had seen the news about PEI Yi on TV. He, nie dan, and the others were driving their sports cars at a crazy speed along the road, alarming the French police.
However, because of her, this man had gradually matured in the past few years, and his changes were getting bigger and bigger.
At the thought of this, she turned to look at the backpack that PEI Yi had thrown at the back seat. It still contained the surprise she had wanted to give him.
where have you been? how did you get to France? ”
PEI Yi grabbed the identification documents that he had left in the car and handed them over to her. She reached out to take them and flipped them open. The person on the documents was him, but his name and information had changed.
“There’s a mission. I took the opportunity to come here after I finished it.”
He skipped over the mission with a simple sentence. I know you’re in France, so I came to meet you first.
After the matter in London was settled, he stayed behind to do some cleaning work.
After all, Chen minshu was once captured by the ‘Crow’ organization. She didn’t suffer much and didn’t go through any special training. It was very likely that once the organization tortured her, she would say many things that should not be said.
He believed that she would not reveal too many of the truly important secrets of this operation. After all, she did not know much. However, it was hard to guarantee that she would not reveal his identity.
PEI Yi was not afraid of himself. However, he was worried that he would cause Jiang se trouble. Hence, he stayed in London for a while longer and only rushed to Bordeaux to wait for her after he had almost wiped out all the remaining members of the crow.
Not only did this place mean something different to Jiang se, but it also meant something to him. He had once dreamed of proposing to Jiang se in the castle that he had single-handedly built.
When the two of them first came, he was a total failure. He had to resort to coaxing and pestering to get her. He did not have the courage to propose to her. Even though he had imagined the scene of her putting on a wedding dress for him a thousand times in his heart, he still stopped himself from saying it. That was the first time he realized that responsibility was far more important than pure love.
However, PEI Yi had regretted missing out on that opportunity several times. It was only after he had graduated from the top academy and entered the military school that he was restricted from going overseas. The dream of kneeling down and proposing to her was still in his heart, but it was becoming more and more firm.
“Sese.” He was considering how to bring it up. He was planning to propose to Jiang se on this trip to Bordeaux.
He believed that he was far more mature than he had been in the past. He had already graduated. With the military achievements he had made this time, his father had once mentioned to him that there was a vacancy for the position of municipal Governor in the Western nine states. At that time, he would rush there to take up a post to accumulate achievements and qualifications.
Now that he had a career plan, he was responsible and brave enough to propose to Jiang se.
His grandfather had once praised him for his rapid growth. His mental strength was no longer the same as it was in the past. He understood what responsibility was, and he had once been praised for his courage in this mission.
In the face of the extremely vicious ‘crows’, he dealt with them calmly and carefully, capturing the drug lord organization in one fell swoop.
After the mission was over, he would be able to withstand the pressure from the PEI family and use the identity his grandfather had prepared for him to go to Bordeaux and wait for Jiang se.
However, no matter how much PEI Yi had mentally prepared himself before this, when he saw Jiang SE’s hopeful eyes, all his preparations were not enough.
No matter what other people thought of him, no matter how calm and collected he was in his studies or in his missions, all of it had disappeared at this moment.
He was a little annoyed that he had forgotten himself when she looked at him with her beautiful eyes. The words were already in his throat, but he was so nervous that he couldn’t say them.
Sometimes, if he cherished her too much, she would become a burden to him. He was even afraid that he would surprise her with his proposal.
PEI Yi recalled the days when he had a crush on her but did not dare to say it out loud. He felt exactly the same as he did now. She was always the most important person in his heart, and his emotions were always behind hers.
let’s go for a walk. We’re not in a hurry to go back.
He cupped Jiang SE’s face in his hands and sought her opinion.
“Alright?”
“Alright,” he said. Jiang se nodded. I’d like to go to St. Andre church. I didn’t even get to see it the last time I was here. What a pity.
After graduation, her schedule would be much busier than it was now. Actually, it was not easy for PEI Yi to go abroad, and it would not be easy for her to squeeze out such time in the future either.
As soon as she said this, PEI Yi immediately started the car and set the route to St. Andre church.
The church was the largest Cathedral in Bordeaux. It was located in the city center. When PEI Yi parked the car in the garage, Jiang se glanced at the bag in the car and reached out to take it. PEI Yi quickly said, ”
“I’ll do it.”
“I want to carry it myself.” She rejected PEI Yi’s help. There was not much luggage in the room. PEI Yi had everything she needed, including her change of clothes in the Bordeaux Manor. All she needed were some documents and necessities, which were not heavy.
PEI Yi allowed her to carry her bag. The two of them exited the garage and saw the Cathedral in the square.
On the square opposite the church, many hawkers could be seen, selling all kinds of things, and an endless stream of people could be seen.
On the other side, under the blue sky and white clouds, was the magnificent cathedral. The bright sun above was like a Pearl on the top of a tower. The White Cathedral was bathed in the sunlight, and the scene was as beautiful as a painting.
Jiang se tugged at the strap of her backpack. After standing there for a while, she pulled PEI Yi into the house.
The inside and outside of the church seemed to be two completely different worlds. All the noise seemed to have been cut off outside the church next door. It was extremely quiet inside, and the light footsteps of the two could be heard clearly.
Jiang se had no choice but to tread lightly as she held PEI Yi’s hand. The hustle and bustle of the mortal world and the busy work were isolated from them at this moment. The two of them seemed to have stolen half a day’s rest. They looked at each other and could not help but laugh.
This was not the time when Bordeaux, France, had the most tourists, and there were almost no people. On a row of long benches in the distance, a devout Christian was praying with his head lowered in the first row.
PEI Yi glanced at the chair and asked, ”
“Sese, are you tired? do you want to sit down?”
He still remembered that a few days ago, Jiang se had mentioned that she was too tired from work and that her feet hurt badly when she wore high heels.
Jiang se clutched her bag and nodded.
The two of them did not disturb the disciples sitting in the front row. Jiang se chose a seat in the last row. PEI Yi squatted down in front of her and naturally lifted one of her legs to place on his. He then reached out and massaged her gently and forcefully.
She looked at the familiar man. He was naturally focused on massaging her legs, and his eyes were hazy.
“Yi, you should kneel.”
She suddenly laughed. She stepped on his leg with the tip of her foot and suddenly spoke.
He didn’t ask why, and immediately knelt down with one leg, while the other leg that was supporting her calf remained standing. He raised his head, and his humble posture did not diminish his imposing manner.
