Chapter 198 That’s My Girlfriend

Pei Yanchuan received a call from Qin Mingfan as soon as he went downstairs.

He picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

Before he could tell the other party that he had a girlfriend, Qin Mingfan's serious voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

"Yanchuan, do you remember I told you before that a girl came to see Pei Si and said they were enemies?"

Pei Yanchuan vaguely remembered this incident. He was in a good mood and replied casually, "Didn't you say that others were fine based on their physiognomy?"

"Fuck, that's what I said!"

There was the sound of documents being put down from Qin Mingfan's side. "You told me to investigate, so I went. But do you know what I found? That girl had no friends who knew Pei Si! There was no real enemy relationship between them. It seemed like she came here out of the blue to investigate Pei Si!"

Pei Yanchuan paused, but his emotions remained calm. He said, "Then continue the investigation according to your method."

"That's what I was planning, but first I want to ask you, when you were dealing with Pei Si before, did you know this girl? What's her name... Yang Cici?"

Hearing this name, Pei Yanchuan froze in shock, his hand resting on the door handle.

After a long while, he asked softly, "...What's your name?"

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but this time the man’s voice was a little hoarse.

Qin Mingfan didn't notice his abnormality and was still flipping through the documents. "She's called Yang Cici, and I looked at her background. She used to be clean, but she has a friend named Yu Jing, and Yu Jing has a sister who's a psychiatrist. She even went to a mental hospital today. These people haven't appeared before, but it's such a coincidence that one or two of them have connections to the Pei family."

"Also, I heard that she wasn't originally on the list of participants for this project, but she still took the initiative to come to Pei's that day."

Pei Yanchuan stood there for a few seconds, then slowly looked up at the building.

His eyes fell on the empty balcony. He gripped his phone tightly, lowered his eyes, reopened the car door, and said coldly, "Stop."

Qin Mingfan was stunned: "What?"

The man's voice was cold and chilling. "I said stop. No further investigation is allowed, especially not of Yang Cici."

Qin Mingfan: "..."

Just stop, why are you still angry?

He also tried to persuade him, "Just in case, after all, old man Pei Yushan might be hiding something..."

"Nothing will happen."

Pei Yanchuan interrupted him directly.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly and pursed his lips. "Which project is Yang Cici involved in?"

"What's going on with the development of that piece of land in West City?"

"I'm in charge of this project now."

Qin Mingfan thought he was going to take the initiative to find out the girl's flaws, "You're not going back? I can handle this. A little girl shouldn't be that difficult to deal with."

Pei Yanchuan said coldly: "That's my girlfriend."

Qin Mingfan: "Ah, no wonder, it turns out she's your daughter...???"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Qin Mingfan in the office was stunned.

He seemed to be hallucinating!

Did his eldest nephew mean 'female friends'?

No, the words "female friends" are also magical.

Qin Mingfan looked dazed, and it took him a while to find his voice.

"...When did you hand it in?"

Didn’t we agree that we won’t get married?

Hearing this, Pei Yanchuan only replied with four words: "Half an hour ago."

Qin Mingfan: “…”

No... He had only heard of flash marriages.

Why is flash romance still so popular among young people nowadays?!

When the workers returned to work, Yang Cici received her own additional tasks.

Cheng Aojia handed her the document with a complicated expression.

"Um, Cici, do you remember the project we worked on with Pei last week? The boss suddenly said you'd be added to the team, and... you'd be in charge of the field investigation."

Xicheng is quite far from here, and it takes three hours by high-speed rail. It is said to be a field investigation, but in fact it is just a business trip for a period of time.

Yang Cici looked at the documents in her hand, remembering that the man hadn't revealed anything to her in the past two days. She bent her eyes and agreed, "Okay, should I go alone?"

Cheng Aojia shook her head: "No, someone from the Pei family is going with you, but I don't know who it is."

After packing her luggage simply and leaving the dog at the boarding house, Yang Cici arrived at the station. Looking at the familiar figure of the man at the door, there was not much surprise in her eyes.

The man was wearing a black windbreaker, which made him look tall, handsome, and noble. Standing at the station entrance, he looked like a conspicuous sign.

Yang Cici was pushing a suitcase and met the man's eyes from a distance of several dozen meters.

The man immediately came over with a suitcase and reached out to take her suitcase.

Yang Cici looked up and didn't give it to her. "I'll take it myself."

Pei Yanchuan paused, pursed his lips, nodded, and then wanted to hold the girl's hand again.

Yang Cici suddenly turned sideways and walked quickly towards the gate. "Let's check the tickets first."

Pei Yanchuan's hands were empty and his eyes were stunned.

The girl turned her head and looked at him, "Aren't you leaving?"

He clenched his hands and quickly followed, standing next to the girl, "Let's go."

While checking the ticket, Pei Yanchuan looked at the girl next to him frequently. He noticed that the girl had no emotion on her face and seemed to be in a bad mood. He picked up the luggage and was about to walk over to ask what was wrong.

But before he could finish his words, a female voice sounded behind him.

"Hey, handsome guy, when I came in just now, I saw you were also going to West City?"

He paused, turned his head and nodded slightly to the man, then wanted to turn around and look for Yang Cici.

But the woman behind him kept saying, "Are you going alone? Then we can..."

"No." Pei Yanchuan interrupted her, "I came here with my girlfriend."

The woman was stunned, then touched her nose angrily.

girlfriend?

She muttered quietly, "I only saw one person the whole time, not any girlfriend."

Her voice was not small, and Pei Yanchuan heard it.

He was slightly stunned, his eyelashes trembled, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Yang Cici.

He saw the girl standing not far away, looking at him calmly.

There were dozens of meters between them, so it was no wonder that the woman thought he was alone.

Even he couldn't see it...

Pei Yanchuan's heart sank and he walked over slowly.

Seeing the man coming, Yang Cici withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened and looked at the departure schedule on the screen.

A man's soft voice sounded in my ears.

"Ci Ci..."

"Um."

"Are you... unhappy today?"

"Um."

Yang Cici still looked up at the departure table, but said calmly: "Pei Yanchuan, it was you who made it possible for me to go on a business trip with you, right? Going on a business trip with the president of a company, I thought I had some big secret that needed constant supervision."

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.

Yang Cici turned her head and looked at him indifferently: "Pei Yanchuan, you decided my schedule without asking me or telling me. I didn't even know I was your girlfriend."

"Actually, it's because I know Pei Si. You all investigated me, and Qin Mingfan thought I was suspicious. You think so too, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have acted without authorization and wanted to wait for an on-site investigation to test me."

She took a step forward and asked calmly.

"Pei Yanchuan, let me ask you one thing. Do you think I have other motives for approaching you?"

The man's eyes trembled and his hands gradually tightened.

After a long while, he finally replied in a trembling voice: "Yes..."

Yang Cici was stunned for a moment, then smiled with her eyes curved, muttering softly, "It's a very normal thought. Mr. Pei really wants to test the people around him. No problem... no problem..."

But if it were the Pei Yanchuan of the past, he would never test her.

He believed in her unconditionally every time.
