C7 Serenity

Ning Xia wiped the corner of her mouth awkwardly.

She had been thirsty all the way and finally had water to drink. Of course, she did not hold back, but when she was drinking water, she heard Pei Yichen's words. She could not help it. Pei Jianye was a healthy uncle, but Pei Yichen cursed him for not being well. It was a joke!

Therefore, when she wanted to laugh while drinking the water, she choked...

"Ahem, I'm sorry, President Pei..."

Looking at the water stains on Pei Yichen's good suit, Ning Xia bit her lip in embarrassment. "Ah Xi, if I had known earlier, I would have stayed away from this man. He wouldn't have asked me to pay for the suit, would he?"

This guy was so extravagant, could he be worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands?

My God!

Thinking of this, Ning Xia wanted to cry...

Pei Yichen looked at Ning Xia's panicked expression. His eyes lit up and he put on a gentle expression. "Why are you always so careless? Be careful next time."

After that, he turned to Shen Heng and ordered, "Bring me upstairs to change."

"Yes."

Ning Xia was stunned. She frowned as she looked at Pei Yichen, who had left. Had Pei Yichen gone crazy?

Pei Jianye, who was beside her, suddenly tightened his grip on the cup...

"Miss Ning Xia, long time no see."

Pei Jianye raised the cup in his hand and waved it at Ning Xia.

Ning Xia was stunned. She did not remember having any contact with President Pei on the board of directors.

"President Pei, have you seen me before?"

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

"I saw you at the company's annual meeting. You are the most elegant and beautiful person in the entire team."

Pei Jianye revealed a smile that seemed to charm thousands of girls. His eyes were filled with gentleness, as if he was recalling the first time he met Ning Xia.

Ning Xia felt a chill run down her spine. She was in her early twenties, and the other party was almost in his fifties. To be flirted with by someone who could be her father, she had to beg for her psychological trauma!

"You're too kind, General Manager Pei. I'm just an ordinary little girl. I just want to live a peaceful life."

She made her stand 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 heart, he was a good uncle who could instantly kill a young girl. He was the fifth brother of the Diamond King that everyone else wanted to get close to. When he was rejected by Ning Xia, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.

"Heh, then you better work hard at President Pei's place. You have to take good care of my nephew."

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and pat Ning Xia on the shoulder. However, Ning Xia turned slightly to the side, made a bow, and avoided it cleverly. "President Pei, don't worry. I will do what I have to do."

Pei Jianye's hand fell empty. He pulled it back awkwardly. It was just a chess piece. Sooner or later, it would fall into his hands. At that time, he would not show mercy!

"Okay, okay."

Pei Jianye drained his glass and walked in the opposite direction.

Ning Xia let out a sigh of relief. She really did not like this kind of hypocritical situation. She looked in the direction where Pei Yichen had left and found that there was no sign of him coming back. She simply walked to an inconspicuous corner.

She hadn't even had dinner yet, and the vegetable soup was only halfway done when it was pulled out. Alas, once she relaxed, she was really hungry...

In the study on the third floor, Pei Yichen held a pair of binoculars and saw Ning Xia's movements clearly.

She licked her lips like a kitten and looked around to make sure no one noticed her. Then, she pinched a small piece of cake with her fingers and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. Like a little hamster, she puffed up her cheeks and chewed. She even licked her lips in satisfaction and cleaned the cream off her lips.

Seeing this scene, the corner of Pei Yichen's mouth unconsciously curled up.

"Burp ~"

She was in a hurry to eat. She had been secretly touching again. She accidentally choked and instantly burped. She frantically covered her mouth with her hand and quickly picked up a glass of transparent liquid from the table and drank it...

His throat was smooth, but why was he dizzy?

Ning Xia shook his head and his body unconsciously followed suit. Even the thing in front of him had a double image.

"What's going on?"

Ning Xia put her hands on the table and tried to stabilize herself.

Her throat was burning. She felt like she was floating...

Dingdong ~

Ning Xia frowned. She took out her phone and opened her email. An email popped into her eyes.

It had been a long time since she had received a message from this account, unless...

Her slender fingers clicked on the mail, and the only thing that made her so excited was four words: I'm back.

He's back...

Ning Xia's eyes couldn't help but redden. He had really come back. Five years ago, he had said that he would come back.

He's really back!

She coaxed her eyes and stared at the four words on her phone. It was as if she could see the person on the other end of the Internet. It was as if she had returned to that warm youth five years ago...
