C17 Peacock with Flare

"Ok, remember, if you need anything, come look for me."

Pei Shijie smiled and nodded. Seeing Ning Xia's distant attitude, a desire to conquer her arose in his heart. It made him very interested in her.

As Ning Xia walked towards the 66th floor, she called Ye Zi. This heartless person has vanished when she saw Young President Pei.

"Do you have any conscience? You just left me with Young President Pei!"

Ye Zi sighed, "Ning Xia, are you stupid? Can't you tell that Young President Pei is being attentive to you? "I'll calculate your horoscope. Your Red Phoenix Star affects his Peach Blossom Star."

"No way, Young President Pei is like a peacock flaring its tail. Just looking at him makes me feel sick, ok?"

When Ning Xia thought of his deliberate gentleness and rubbish chat, she felt uncomfortable all over.

"Haha, a peacock flaring its tail, your analogy is really fitting."

Ye ZI laughed heartily.

Pei Yichen, who was on the 66th floor, smiled when he heard the voice on the stairs.

Shen Heng thought that installing a mini camera on the staircase was the wisest decision he made!

"President Pei, I feel that this Ning Xia may not be sent by Pei Shijie after all. I found out that his assistant had also asked about the business department's movements today, and Pei Shijie got to the restaurant before Miss Ning Xia arrived."

Pei Yichen nodded. Thinking about it carefully, Ning Xia really wasn't sent by Pei Shijie, or else he wouldn't have used such cheap tricks to get close to her. However, in Ning Xia's eyes, such tricks were just like a peacock spreading its tail …

"Go and call her in. It's time to have a good chat."

Since she wasn't Pei Shijie's agent, then she will be his!

Shen Heng responded excitedly and immediately went out to call her. He was really looking forward to her simplicity and innocence to melt that ice cube, President Pei.

Only a bystander like him could clearly see that every time he met Ning Xia, President Pei would become less cold.

Ning Xia was chatting passionately with Ye Zi when Shen Heng suddenly appeared. She was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone.

"Hey, Ning Xia, why did you stop talking?"

Ye Zi's loud voice could be heard through the phone, resounding exceptionally clear in the quiet corridor.

Shen Heng raised his eyebrows. He really couldn't see how the usually gentle and soft-spoken Ning Xia would actually be friends with such a rough and unruly tomboy.

Ning Xia embarrassedly smiled and said, "I'll call you later."

Then, she hurriedly hung up the phone, "Assistant Shen, were you looking for me?"

"The president is waiting for you in his office."

Ning Xia nodded with a smile and walked towards the office.

"President Pei, you were looking for me?"

When Pei Yichen heard her voice, he closed the file in his hand and put it aside before looking at Ning Xia.

She wasn't Pei Shijie's agent. He was quite satisfied with this result. In fact, he was even a bit happy about it.

Ning Xia was scared by his questioning gaze. "President Pei, what business do you have with me?"

"Come, sit."

Pei Yichen leaned back on the chair. The faint smile on his face made him look like a fox who dug a hole for Ning Xia and was waiting for her to jump in it.

Ning Xia looked at him with a wary expression. For some reason, Ye Zi's words once again appeared in her mind.

Pei Family young master …

A husband she has never met …

The description seemed to match perfectly.

"You're the Second Miss from Ning Family."

It was clearly a question, but he said it with a sure tone.

The doubt that had been in Ning Xia's heart all this time, finally settled.

It was him!

Suddenly, she wasn't nervous anymore. Even if this husband didn't appear at the wedding, embarrassing her, inexplicably, she didn't have the slightest bit of anger or hatred towards him.

She smiled, in a serene mood, "There is no longer any relationship between me and Ning Family. So, Young Master Pei, now that you know my identity, what are you going to do?"

A man who refuse to attend his own wedding must be dissatisfied with her. What will he do now?

"Let me guess."

Ning Xia's calm appearance was completely different from her usual thoughtless personality. Pei Yichen raised his eyebrows and felt that the current Ning Xia was very special.

She sat down and said. "You're not satisfied with this marriage and you're rejecting me. Coincidentally, I was also forced into a corner. If you want a divorce, I have no objections."

In any case, the wedding was Western-style, with only the priest's blessings. They didn't even take their account books to the Civil Affairs Bureau, so getting a divorce was simple and convenient.

Pei Yichen didn't expect such a big reaction for just a sentence of his. Moreover, her words were quite assertive.

"Ning Xia, from today on, you are my official wife. After work, you will move into the Manor."

This was his typical attitude!

Ning Xia was stunned. She didn't expect him to say that.

"Don't you hate me?"

Pei Yichen looked at her with a pleased expression, "I really don't like you."

Err …

Ning Xia was left without words. Wasn't that too direct?

Shouldn't he be more of a gentleman and say "I don't hate you that much"?

Obviously this guy is not a gentleman! I give up!

"However, you are useful to me now!"

Straight to the point!

Unconcealed!

Ning Xia rolled her eyes inside. To put it bluntly, you just want to use me.

She didn't intend to cooperate with that.

"No."

Her rejection was also simple and straightforward.

"I heard that you have something at Ning Family that you want to get back."

It hit the nail on the head!

Other than the matter of her being expelled for cheating in university, which was not yet investigated, anything else related to Ning Xia could be said to be well known to him.

Ning Xia was stupefied. How did he know about such a secret matter?

Since high school, she has rented a house and rarely returned to Ning Family. The only thing she left behind was the pair of silver bracelets she brought with her from the orphanage.

"What do you mean?"

Ning Xia's body tensed up, and she was obviously on guard.

"I can help you get it back, but you have to behave and cooperate with me."

Pei Yichen spoke without concealment. He was not worried at all that it could cause Ning Xia to resist even harder.

Ning Xia lowered her eyes. She still vividly remembered the night of the royal ball.

An Jin's words were like a knife stabbing into her body, causing her pain and injury.

She said she will be qualified, but in truth, this qualification was simply too difficult to obtain if she relied solely on her own ability.

However, as Pei Yichen's wife …
