C32 You Feed Me

Pei Yichen glanced at her and saw that her expression was sometimes conflicted, sometimes frightened, sometimes frowning, and sometimes understanding the changes in her chest. He could not help but smile with a hint of curiosity. He did not know what she was thinking about.

His fingers scratched Ning Xia's palm like a prank, causing her palm to itch and she almost cried out. She reflexively wanted to take her hand back, but Pei Yichen grabbed her hand tightly, not giving her any chance to escape.

Ning Xia glared at Pei Yichen angrily. What was he trying to do?

Pei Yichen smiled at him, then gestured with his eyes for her to speak.

Ning Xia asked with disbelief. Are you sure?

She didn't know anyone well, so when she spoke at this time, wouldn't she be shooting herself in the face?

However, when faced with Pei Yichen's resolute gaze that carried traces of warning, she still looked at Old Master Pei nervously.

"Um, Grandpa, can I eat? I'm a little hungry..."

She gave such a reason that she didn't even have the confidence to back it up. However, when Old Master Pei heard this, he instantly laughed, "Alright, since our little girl is hungry, let's eat first."

Old Master Pei's act of giving Ning Xia face not only surprised Ning Xia, but also the others. The way he looked at Ning Xia revealed a different emotion.

When Ning Xia saw the old man move his chopsticks, she elegantly picked up the chopsticks. Her back was straight and straight. Whether it was to drink water or to pick vegetables, she was very steady and controlled. Her movements were especially pleasing to the eye. Every move she made seemed like a well-bred girl.

These were what Ning Jing had learned when she was young, when she was teaching Ning Jing how to make tea and pour water. Although there was nothing she could do, in formal occasions, it was always right to be more dignified.

This temperament had long been ingrained into her bones.

Pei Yichen raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Ning Xia behaving like this. He did not forget the way Ning Xia acted in front of him, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws, wolfing down the food, choking on her words, burping, and so on.

It was as if she was a completely different person. At this moment, Ning Xia was not a small clerk, but a young lady with a superior life.

The surprise that Ning Xia brought him was truly extraordinary.

Pei Yichen curled his lips, picked up a shrimp, peeled it, and put it on Ning Xia's plate. The two of them were very intimate, and looked very pleasing to the eye.

Of course, what was rewarded was Old Master Pei's heart, and what was pleasing was also Old Master Pei's eyes.

Pei Shijie initially thought that she was trying to show him some goodwill by helping him out of this predicament, but now that she was so intimate with Pei Yichen, he really couldn't understand how this woman felt about him.

At this moment, Ning Xia did not have the time to care about others. Pei Yichen's actions made her unable to remain calm. It had been so long, and this was the first time someone had peeled prawns for her to eat!

What should I do?

There was an emotion called knowing that it was a lie and knowing that it was an act, but it just couldn't be controlled.

She bit her lip to calm herself down. "I'll do it myself."

Fake was fake. No matter how sincere it was, no matter how fake it was, no matter how touched it was, it was fake.

"The shell of the prawn is hard. Don't hurt your nails."

Pei Yichen smiled gently and continued to peel her skin.

In the quiet dining room, the two of them whispered to each other. In fact, everyone could hear their conversation very clearly.

Old Master Pei was beaming with joy. Looking at how his always cold grandson could care about a woman, he felt that he was not far from having a great-grandson.

He did not forget what Pei Yichen had said. "Grandpa, it is true that Ningxia is my assistant, but it is also the Ning Family Second Miss that you have arranged for me. It is just that Pei Shijie does not know and wants to make use of her to be his spy, so I have suppressed this matter and waited for him to give himself away. I also hope that Grandfather can keep this secret for me."

Even though Pei Yichen had used some tricks, Old Master Pei still hoped that he would be able to fake it. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a good time with this little girl.

Ning Xia was a little embarrassed by his attitude, but she could not flare up. She could only bear with it silently.

Forget it. If someone were to peel the prawns, she would just enjoy it. Anyway, she did not force anyone. It was her own free will!

Besides, she also had to pay a price.

Ning Xia silently found countless excuses for himself, then ate the peeled shrimp clean.

However, there were some things that could be enjoyed as a matter of course. There were some things that could not be understood by the conditions of cooperation.

It was as if Pei Yichen, who had always been cold and violent, couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips every time he was with her. He would even think of personally peeling the prawns to take care of her.

The other two women at the table looked at Ning Xia with envy. Although Pei Yichen was a disabled man and did not have much power, women only cared about him sometimes.

Pei Yichen was in a very good mood. Seeing Ning Xia eat and drink well seemed to reduce the guilt he felt when he used her.

"I'm full, stop peeling."

Ning Xia had already eaten half of the prawns by herself. No matter how much she loved to eat, she could not finish them all by herself. Moreover, this was her first family dinner. She did not want these people to think that she was petty.

"Then feed me."

Pei Yichen continued to peel the prawns without looking up and placed them on Ning Xia's plate. His words scared Ning Xia so much that she almost fell off her chair. Would such a ruler be a little too fast?

Showing affection in front of the elders?

Isn't that too much?

"Ah -"

But apparently someone didn't think it was too much.

Ning Xia could not help but raise her eyebrows when she saw the way he was crying at her. It was as if it was a bit embarrassing for a CEO like him to not receive a response in front of so many people, right?

Ning Xia sighed helplessly in her heart. She accepted her fate and picked up the prawn meat, stood up with the sauce, and stuffed it into Pei Yichen's mouth.

Pei Yichen's eyes lit up and he gave her a gentle smile.

Ning Xia's hand trembled and she instantly retracted her chopsticks. Her face was already flushed red.

This guy did it on purpose!

Seeing Ning Xia's shy look, Pei Yichen curled his lips and swallowed the shrimp meat in his mouth. He did not eat the sauce.

When everyone saw Pei Yichen swallow it, their hearts were no longer described as shocked. They never thought that the cold Pei Yichen, who was always kept away from strangers, would actually dote on a girl to such an extent!

It seemed like the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice was about to melt.

If Old Master Pei's attitude gave them some respect for Ning Xia and he would not look down on her, then Pei Yichen's attitude made them very curious about Ning Xia. What kind of girl could make Pei Yichen so obedient?
