C38 I Can Afford It

"Directer Lin's wife is a dancer, and so is her daughter. But after all these years, he is the only one left in the country. He is lonely. I want you to fill his loneliness."

Pei Yichen's words made Ning Xia speechless. She stared blankly at Pei Yichen, unable to believe her own guess.

Her mind went blank. She was stunned for a minute before she came back to her senses.

During this time, Pei Yichen just sat there quietly, looking at her, waiting for her answer.

But unexpectedly, this time, this noisy little girl was very quiet.

"President Pei, I don't really understand what you mean."

He asked her to be a spy. In order to get his help, she agreed. In the end, she was just chatting with Pei Shijie. However, he was asking her to "fill in the loneliness of others." Wasn't that too much?

Pei Yichen couldn't help but curl his lips. He suddenly realized that Ning Xia was just a dirty little girl. Her angry expression and angry eyes clearly showed the truth - she was wrong!

"How can you not understand? Don't you have any ideas?"

Pei Yichen curled his lips, appreciating her anger and not daring to say anything. This made him very happy.

His words were very clear, but Ning Xia still thought otherwise. There was nothing he could do about it.

"Don't you think President Pei is going too far?"

Ning Xia grabbed the fruit knife through her pants. She wished she could pull it out at any time and stab Pei Yichen into a hornet's nest.

"I don't think so."

Pei Yichen still had an arrogant look on his face. He was so angry that Ning Xia could no longer suppress the Chaotic Force in his body!

Pei Yichen was almost done fooling around before he smiled. "Do you know how to jump in Latin?"

The tense atmosphere was resolved by Pei Yichen's sudden question.

Ning Xia could not keep up with someone's train of thought.

However, Pei Yichen was in a very good mood. Every time he saw Ning Xia suffer, he felt very comfortable.

"Directer Lin's wife and daughter are both dancers. He is very affectionate, but he is not accompanied by anyone. You are about the same age as her daughter. I want you to perform an outstanding Latin dance at the Midyear Festival and let Directer Lin notice you. When the time is right, I will talk to Directer Lin."

After Pei Yichen said what he needed, he was satisfied with Ning Xia's shocked expression. He even felt a little annoyed.

Ning Xia felt that her thoughts were always led astray by Pei Yichen. She subconsciously thought of something bad. It really was... A'Xi!

"Only dancing?"

"I only need to dance."

Their eyes met. One was surprised and suspicious, while the other was calm and collected.

Pei Yichen had always wanted to get Directer Lin's support, but Directer Lin was too neutral and had too many shares. He would not talk to him or Pei Shijie about any work in private. If that was the case, it would be much more convenient for someone like his daughter to come forward.

Ning Xia hesitated. If it was just a simple dance, she could accept it, but... why?

They didn't say anything about Directer Lin at first. They just said they wanted her to be Pei Shijie's messenger.

"Then, should we talk about cooperation again?"

Ning Xia's brows slightly raised, carrying a wisp of complacency. Now that he had a favor to ask of him, he could reconsider the matter of cooperation.

Pei Yichen curled his lips. He really didn't notice that the little rabbit also had such a cunning side.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Hearing Pei Yichen's direct question, Ning Xia was at a loss. What should she ask for?

"Let me think about it."

Ning Xia relaxed and sat on the sofa in his bedroom, seriously thinking about it.

She did not lack anything in her life. Pei Yichen had everything and power. Could he help her do something she could not?

Ning Xia thought for half an hour before finally coming to a decision.

"Pei Yichen, help me bring the silver bracelet back and find someone for me. During this period, I will listen to your arrangements. How about it?"

She knew that what he wanted was the company. During this period of time, he would have to constantly raise new conditions for her to do it. Instead of going through so much trouble, she might as well make it clear.

Pei Yichen was a little surprised by her self-awareness, "You're smart."

She looked like a silly girl, but she understood her own plan. She did not resist and directly jumped in. This kind of person seemed stupid, but in fact, he was very smart. He had a little admiration for Ning Xia now.

"Alright, since you're so straightforward, I'll give you a quick death too."

Pei Yichen curled his lips. It would be easier for him to work with someone like this. After all, Ning Xia was a woman he found particularly pleasing to the eye.

"While we work together, you will cooperate to act as my wife and listen to my arrangements to help me. However, I can satisfy you with your life insurance and whatever you want. When my matters are over, I will not interfere with anything you want to do. How about it?"

"What I want? Do you know what I want?"

Ning Xia wanted to laugh. This guy was really not an ordinary arrogant person.

"As long as it doesn't involve my principles, eating, drinking, and having fun, I'll satisfy you."

Pei Yichen saw her mischievous smile and added a bottom line. He was really worried that Ning Xia would do something against the rules.

She's like that.

On the surface, he seemed to be following the rules and following orders. However, deep down, he was restless. His personality was a little noisy, but he did not dare to show it in front of him.

Ning Xia's little heart could not help but want to fly. This feeling was as if he had won five million!

"Are you sure that I can spend all your money on eating, drinking, and having fun?"

Ning Xia looked at Pei Yichen seriously. When she saw his relaxed expression, she couldn't help but remind him, "I eat a lot!"

Pei Yichen almost laughed out loud when he heard this. "I can afford to feed you as much as you want."

Hearing this, Ning Xia was overjoyed. Although people had to lower their heads every day under the roof, it was completely tolerable for them to have food and drink and save money!

"Alright, it's a deal. I'll try my best to eat as little as possible in the future. I won't make you poor. You just have to remember that you promised to help me find someone!"

Ning Xia was afraid that he would go back on his word and immediately nodded in agreement.

Pei Yichen curled his lips and looked at a certain rabbit jumping into the pit with satisfaction. "So, who do you want me to find for you? What characteristics do you have?"

Speaking of this, Ning Xia's smile dimmed. "Other than that pair of bracelets, I don't have any other impression or information about her..."
