Chapter 33

Qiao also drove to the place where he had agreed to meet Pei Qing.

But she didn't seem to be in a very good mood now. After being treated like this by Shang Yiran, she had no desire to do anything else.

In order to keep her promise, she came here.

When she arrived, Pei Qing was already sitting there.

Xia Yi was waiting for her at the door.

Seeing her coming, the young man winked at her and said, "I thought you and her had no intersection. I didn't expect that you would have intersections again after just a short time since you came back."

Qiao rolled his eyes at him speechlessly and said unhappily, "Get lost, you're the only one who talks too much. If you have the time to spare, why not bring me a bottle of good wine?"

"...It's not like you haven't tried the good wines I have here. You've also tried the more expensive ones. What else do you want to drink?"

When she reached the stairs, Xia Yi stopped and said, "Okay. Your old lover is already waiting for you upstairs."

But Qiao Ye didn't go up to him. Instead, he looked at him and asked, "How did the rumor about her being my lover get out?"

This happened many years ago, and Qiao only remembered to ask about it today.

Although she should have asked earlier.

"Ah? Isn't this what you expressed yourself, Mr. Qiao?"

"What the hell?" Qiao also raised an eyebrow. "How did I express it?"

Seeing her look of disbelief, Xia Yi began to count off the items one by one on his fingers: "You gave her your coat. Everyone knows that our Mr. Qiao is a germaphobe? You even stayed up in the middle of the night to pick her up. You even followed her around my internet cafe..."

At this point, Xia Yi's tone became somewhat indignant, and he complained: "Do you know how much dog food the brothers ate from you back then?"

Qiao Ye still had a smile on her face, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

She didn't expect that her actions at that time would inadvertently make these people have such thoughts.

She walked to Xia Yi's side and patted his shoulder comfortingly. "I was inconsiderate. I didn't expect this to happen."

Xia Yi wanted to say something when she saw Qiao walking up the stairs.

Having been with Qiao Ye for so long, he couldn't say that he knew Qiao Ye completely, but he did understand him about 70% of the way.

This means that the situation at that time may not have been like this.

In other words, Qiao himself was also cheated.

After realizing this, Xia Yi was very gossipy in her heart, but she also felt that her life was very important.

I could only leave here in disappointment, hoping to get some useful gossip from others.

Qiao didn't care much about Xia Yi's little thoughts behind her. She went up the stairs and pushed open the box room number reserved by Pei Qing.

She was the only one in the box.

The table was filled with wine bottles. She took a quick glance and knew that these wines were considered mid-to-high-quality wines in Xia Yi's bar.

A rough estimate puts the price at around 30,000 yuan.

Girls who couldn't even afford tuition before can now order such expensive wine.

She sat across from Pei Qing, leisurely took a cigarette from her pack, held it between her fingers, and asked in a gentlemanly manner, "Do you mind if I smoke?"

The woman shook her head, indicating that she could do whatever she wanted.

With permission, Joe also lit a cigarette.

The bright firelight flickered in the dark box.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Joe also asked.

This was the first time the two of them sat here and talked like this.

“…” Pei Qing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but all that came out was: “Long time no see.”

Hearing these four words, Qiao also chuckled, "It's been a long time."

Pei Qing wanted to explain to her what happened in the past five years, but found that he didn't know where to start.

But Joe also understood her and could guess what she wanted to say just from her hesitant expression.

So she spoke first, "If you just want to talk about what happened five years ago, then there's no need. I'm not interested in listening to you dissecting your own heart here."

After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

But before she could leave, she heard Pei Qing mumble, "That's not it."

This sentence also piqued Qiao's interest. She sat back in her seat and looked at her. "Oh? It's not about this. Then what do you want me to do?"

Pei Qing was about to speak when he heard Qiao Ye continue, "Want to use me again? Calculating the time, your father should be out of prison by now. Why can't you send him back on your own?"

Qiao Ye's voice was very cold, like a sharp blade that pierced Pei Qing's throat, causing her to open her mouth, not knowing what to say.

I could only defend myself feebly, "It's not like that... You, please listen to my explanation..."

"Ah?" Joe also pretended to be surprised. "Explain? Well, let me listen to what you want to tell me."

Pei Qing could hear her sarcasm, but she had nothing to say, "I don't want to take advantage of you..."

As soon as he said this, he heard Qiao also say "ha" and said: "Listen for yourself, do you believe this?"

Pei Qing was silent.

But Qiao didn't want to waste time with her here at all.

"If Miss Pei has nothing else to do, I'll be sorry for not keeping you company any longer."

As soon as her hand fell on the door handle, she heard someone calling her by her full name, the voice a few decibels louder.

"Qiao Ye."

"What?"

She didn't move, just stood there with her back to her.

"Don't you want to know whether Xue Xiaochen can get Mr. Kang's inheritance?"

Pei Qing's voice was very rapid, and one could even tell that her breathing was not very steady.

"What does it have to do with me?" Qiao also turned around and raised his eyebrows. "I'm not interested in other people's private affairs."

After she finished speaking, she just pressed the door handle when a warm body pressed against her back.

The heating in the box was turned on just right.

So she could feel the other person's exquisite body.

The next second, the door of the box was locked.

The key is in the hand of the person behind him.

Before she could say anything, a tense, quick kiss was placed on her lips.

The four petals stick together, and the body fluids blend together.

This action made Qiao Ye's eyes gradually become dangerous.

She was pressed against the wall and could see the other person's thick black hair.

But she didn't look up, just kissed her tightly.

Joe also didn't move, just looked at her quietly.

Just a kiss.

Qiao also lowered his eyes and looked at her, sneering, "Why, what do you want to use me for this time? Help you send your shameless father to jail again, or use Xia Yi's influence to help you backstage?"

There was a dead silence in the air.

"Hmm? Talk—"

The "hmm" was said with a slightly rising tone, showing that the owner was very unhappy.

"Talking" made Qiao Ye's anger reach its peak.

Pei Qing lowered his head, slowly let go of her, and whispered: "I'm sorry..."

"Do you think I need an apology?" Qiao sneered and gritted his teeth, "Pei Qing, you really disgust me. You used me, and when you saw that I didn't say anything, you ran away, and you dared to come to me on your own. Do you really think you have such a great deal of importance in my heart?"

The next second, Pei Qing's neck was strangled fiercely.

Their positions were also swapped.

Joe also looked at her coldly, as if he were a ruthless superior.

Pei Qing had never seen Qiao like this before.

The air in her lungs was getting less and less, and her biological instinct for survival made her subconsciously open her mouth, wanting to breathe in a large amount of air to maintain her physiological needs.

But the other party didn't give her such an opportunity at all, and even the hand that was pinching her neck was still exerting a little force.

"Uh...ha..."

The feeling of suffocation made it impossible for her to utter a complete sentence.

"If I wanted to, I would let you die here." The cold words reached her ears, making her eyes well up with tears.

“Let…let me go…”

Pei Qing felt that she was about to die and might expire in the next second when a large breath of fresh air was drawn into her lungs.

“Cough cough… cough cough…”

Her face flushed, and she held onto the wall with one hand, coughing continuously.

Tears flowed involuntarily.

This was the first time she felt Qiao Ye's horror firsthand.

"So you're also afraid of death." Qiao sneered. "I was wondering where you got the courage to plot against me. So, what are you planning to do to me tonight?"

As she spoke, she took out a wet wipe from the wet wipe box on the table, wiped her hands as she walked, and then threw it into the trash can beside her.

Standing by the window, looking down at the hustle and bustle of traffic below.

Her many years of experience in Country M have made her extremely sensitive to things like cameras.

So with just a glance, he locked onto the camera fifty-six meters away.

"Do you want to get me into public opinion?" Qiao also laughed and asked casually.

Pei Qing's embarrassed expression was reflected on the window, and she could see herself in Qiao Ye's eyes through the reflection of the mirror.

“…”

The woman walked up to her, her expensive high heels stepping on her clothes without hesitation.

"Pei Qing, you still don't learn your lesson..." Qiao also shook his head helplessly.

"Practice again."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

As soon as she walked down the stairs, she saw Xia Yi sitting not far away, as if she was waiting for her.

Seeing her coming down, he came up to her and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Qiao's perception is quite strong."

"Eat too much melon?"

"Hahahaha, not really. I just want to see how the media will portray you."

“…”

"Okay, just kidding. The back door is ready. You can leave anytime."

After hearing his words, Qiao Ye's expression eased a little and he strode away.

Only after Qiao left did Xia Yi put away the smile on her face.

He closed the shop door expressionlessly and walked up the stairs to the box where Qiao Ye had just been.

There is also a Pei Qing there.
