C7 Serenity

Embarrassed, Ning Xia wiped the corners of her mouth.

She was very thirsty all along, so when she finally got some water to drink, she didn't stand on ceremony anymore. But while drinking, she heard Pei Yichen's words and thought it was too funny.

Thus, she laughed while drinking water and she choked spectacularly …

"Cough cough, I'm sorry about this, President Pei …"

Looking at the stains on Pei Yichen's expensive suit, Ning Xia bit her lips in embarrassment. 'Ah Xi, I knew I should have stayed away from this man. He wouldn't have me compensate for the suit, right?'

This guy was so spendthrift, how many tens of thousands would it be?

Oh my god!

Thinking of this, Ning Xia felt like crying …

Seeing Ning Xia's flustered look, Pei Yichen's eyes glinted and he put on a gentle look, "Why are you always so careless? Next time, be more careful."

Then, he instructed Shen Heng who was behind him, "Take me upstairs to change."

"Yes."

Ning Xia was taken aback. She looked with a frown at Pei Yichen, who was leaving.

Beside her, Pei Jianye tightened the grip on his glass …

"Miss Ning Xia, long time no see."

Pei Jianye raised the glass in his hand to Ning Xia.

Ning Xia was surprised. She didn't remember to have anything to do with President Pei or the board of directors.

"President Pei, have we met before?"

Ning Xia kept a polite distance. Regarding these higher-ups, she would never take the initiative to approach them.

"I saw you once at the Company's annual meeting. You were the most beautiful person and had the best conduct in the whole gathering."

Pei Jianye put on a smile that he thought would fascinate thousands of girls. His eyes were filled with gentleness as if he was reminiscing the first time he saw Ning Xia.

Ning Xia only felt aloof. She was in her early twenties, but the man was already in his forties even approaching his fifties. To be beseeched by this kind of person who could be her father...

"General Manager Pei is too polite, I'm just an ordinary girl who wants to live a peaceful life."

She had made her position clear. I don't want anything to do with you.

What kind of person was Pei Jianye? When had he ever been rejected by a little girl like this? In his mind, he had the young girl already sorted out. He was the most desirable, high-quality partner that any woman would strive for. When he was rejected by Ning Xia, his sense of superiority took a blow.

"Heh, then you do a good job at President Pei's. Take good care of my nephew."

Saying that, he reached out to pat Ning Xia's shoulder, but she leaned slightly to the side and made a bow, artfully avoiding his hand, "President Pei, don't worry. I will do my job as needed."

Pei Jianye missed his target and withdrew his hand, embarrassed. Whatever, it's just a pawn that sooner or later would fall into his hands. When that happens, don't blame him for being merciless!

"Good, good."

Pei Jianye drank the red wine glass in one gulp and walked away.

Only then did Ning Xia heaved a sigh of relief. She really disliked such hypocritical occasions. Looking in the direction Pei Yichen had left, there was no sign of him coming back. She then retreated to an inconspicuous corner.

She hadn't even eaten dinner yet and the vegetable soup was already halfway through. Sigh, I want to relax but I'm really hungry …

In the study room on the third floor, Pei Yichen was looking through a pair of binoculars, and he could see clearly Ning Xia's actions.

She licked her lips like a kitten and looked left and right, making sure that no one was paying attention to her, then she grabbed a small piece of cake and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed like a hamster with her cheeks puffed up.

Seeing this scene, Pei Yichen smiled faintly.

"Hiccup ~"

She was so anxious to eat on the sly that she accidentally choked. At once, she started to hiccup, and frantically covered her mouth with her hands. Quickly, she picked up a glass of transparent liquid from the table and gulped it down …

It felt smooth on the throat, but why did it make her feel dizzy?

Ning Xia shook her head. Her body was also starting to tremble. Even the things in front of her were looking hazy.

"What's going on?"

Ning Xia propped her hands on the table to steady herself.

A fiery heat was burning her throat. She felt as if her entire body was floating …

Ding Dong ~

Ning Xia frowned. She took out the phone and opened her email.

She hadn't received any message on this account for a long time, unless …

She hurriedly opened the email with her slender fingers. The message made her very excited even if it only had four words: I'm back!

He's back …

Ning Xia felt her eyes turn red. He really came back. Five years ago, he said that he would come back.

He really came back!

Her eyes recovered as she stared at the four words on her phone as if she could see the person on the other end of the network. It was as if she had returned to that warm and youthful period five years ago …
