C27 He Does Not Admit It

Pei Shijie thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought, the more he felt that something was wrong. In the end, he chose to dial a number that he had saved unintentionally at some point.

Ning Jing hung up the phone, with a smug smile on her face.

A month ago, at a reception, she met this Pei Shijie who was most likely to inherit the Pei Family's fortune. She only pretended to twist her foot a little, and this man fell for her beauty and personally sent her off in his car.

She had "inadvertently" left her business card behind, and today, she received a call from him.

Oh, Ning Xia, so what if you look a bit pretty when you're only married to a useless cripple. But she, with just a twist of her foot, was able to catch the hot and outstanding Pei Shijie. She's a princess, he's a prince, both talented and beautiful, an ideal couple, made for each other!

She's been waiting for Ning Xia to make a fool of herself, praying that she would be soon chased out of the Pei Family by that cripple. But, since Ning Xia was still there, she might as well stay until she marries Pei Shijie and becomes the mistress of the Pei Family, hmph, Ning Xia, will be just a dog she steps on!

While she was thinking, a sports car stopped in front of her.

She smiled faintly and raised her chin looking at the man who was getting out of the car.

This car's cost was higher than the Ning Family's annual income. If their families join forces, that would definitely be a great thing for the Ning Family.

Pei Shijie looked at Jing Jing's complacent expression and sneered slightly. Then, like a gentleman, he opened the passenger door for her.

Ning Jing got in the car and thought that luxury cars were indeed different from each other. Her dad also had a sports car, but it couldn't be compared.

Her legs were slightly pressed together and, when she turned around to fasten her seat belt, her skirt 'accidentally' moved up a bit, revealing her slender and white legs.

"What do you want to eat?"

Pei Shijie smiled as he watched her deliberately moving up her skirt and tilting her legs towards him. He had seen quite a lot of such obvious and frivolous actions.

Jing smiled, pleased with herself. "Western cuisine."

Only Western cuisine could embody a woman's elegance the most. With the Pei Family's level, they would definitely request a respectable and elegant mistress.

"Right, I heard that your sister married my little cousin?"

He asked casually.

Ning Jing's eyes were disdainful, but she pretended to be gentle, "Sigh, that poor adopted sister of mine, she married young master, and just like that, she thought she was flying to the top of the branch, so she wanted to break off all ties with the Ning Family. We can't do anything about that, we just have to let her be."

Seeing how she was thinking for her sister, Pei Shijie smiled, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen your sister since the wedding."

"I really don't understand her. Although we grew up together, we have completely different personalities. She was expelled from University because of cheating, and since then, she never returned to live at home. Maybe she wanted to play around."

Pei Shijie looked down, concealing the doubts in his heart. Could it be that the Ning Family's Second Miss disappeared after the wedding? She never met Pei Yichen at all, nor did she live at the Pei's Villa?

That would explain why Pei Yichen acknowledged that little assistant of his so openly.

Although he can't find the original partner to cause a ruckus and mess Pei Yichen's course of life, if Ning Xia knew that she was being played, it would still be very interesting.

"What's your sister's name?"

Hearing his words, Jing frowned and said with displeasure, "Mr. Pei, if you are looking for my sister today, then maybe I should go back."

Saying this, she placed her hand on the car door. With men, if you don't show some temper, wouldn't they take you for a fool?

Pei Shijie pursed his lips. This Ning Jing was quite interesting. Then, let's have some fun ~

"Alright, my dear lady, I was wrong, okay? "Come, I'll take you to have some good food and I'll accompany you for a walk after that."

When Jing Jing heard his sincere apology, she smiled satisfied. "Alright, let's see your performance ~"

66th floor.

Ning Xia was bored to death, sitting in front of the CEO's office, her life as idle as ever.

In another half a day and one night, she would face the people from the Pei Family. She felt really, really uneasy about it.

She frowned remembering that she has delayed her studies because she was too busy. Since she was so free now, why not take care of it?

Ning Xia has always been an active person, so she immediately dialed her best friend's number. She asked her help to make a list of books and then placed an order on the internet.

After taking care of this, it was almost time to get off work. Ning Xia began to feel depressed again.

Pei Yichen, who has been busy in the office, finally looked up from the documents. Through the glass window, he saw the petite figure and smiled lightly.

Ning Xia seemed to be vexed over something as she was banging her head against the table, like a chick pecking rice. She acted like a cute and innocent young girl.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that Ning Xia was the person chosen by Pei Shijie.

For some unknown reason, he remembered the scene at the party where she was wearing a red dress. Somehow, it was hard to associate that seductive, beautiful, sultry feeling with this simple and adorable person in front of him.

No matter which side it was, both attracted him greatly.

Pei Shijie, you won this round.

At least, he didn't try to chase her away indifferently, as he did with everyone else before. He wanted to keep this woman by his side.

He wanted her to belong to him!

Pei Yichen frowned, shocked by his own thoughts. What was he thinking? He came back to find Xia Tian!

Even if they were similar in their simplicity, it couldn't possibly be her!

After everything is over, he will give Ning Xia a sum of money and let her leave and get out of his sight. He will give Xia Tian the peaceful and harmonious family she never had, and he won't let her be dragged in the Pei Family's affairs. So he must make good use of Ning Xia now!

"President Pei, there's news from the private investigation team, but still nothing about Xia Tian. On the other hand, there's news of Pei Shijie and Eldest Miss Ning spending some time together today."

Shen Heng received the news, sorted out the important ones and passed them to Pei Yichen.

Pei Yichen nodded, "Pei Shijie has already started to make his moves. You have to be prepared. Also, send some people to follow him discreetly, he must not have the chance to make a move on Ning Xia in the future ."

Since it was a cooperative relationship, he should consider Ning Xia's safety, right?

Pei Yichen silently found an excuse for himself and he wouldn't admit that it was because he was so attracted by this girl that he was considering so many things for her.
