Chapter 125 Abandoning the Cover-Up

Lan Zhe went out for negotiations in the afternoon and went straight home afterward. At this moment, it was just the two of them in the office.

Lu Xiwen was completely different from his usual self during the day. Ignoring the pen in Pei Wu's hand, he nudged his neck forcefully.

Pei Wu felt like she was a human-shaped catnip.

"Stop messing around... Ouch, are you a dog? Go home."

“Wait a little longer.” Lu Xiwen wouldn’t let go: “I’m making them so angry they have a headache.”

Pei Wu thought to herself, "It was clearly you who scared them so much they had liver pain."

"I was mean to you during the day, I'm sorry," Lu Xiwen snorted.

Pei Wu: "Stop saying things like that in the future."

“I knew my wife was magnanimous.” Lu Xiwen leaned in and gave him a kiss. “Cao Guan dated an Omega before, I remember he was the young master of the Lin family. He would bring him along when they were being affectionate, but they broke up after a few days because of work issues.”

Pei Wu: "Everyone's level of acceptance is different; it's Cao Guan's problem."

Knowing each other's temperament is fundamental in a relationship. Pei Wu wasn't as magnanimous as Lu Xiwen thought; she exploded just as easily when she stepped on a landmine.

Today, with a driver, Pei Wu leaned against Lu Xiwen on the way home, closing her eyes to rest.

The refreshing pheromones enveloped her entire body, like a gentle and comfortable massage. After arriving home, Pei Wu felt energetic again.

“It’s too much trouble, so we won’t do it,” Lu Xiwen said.

Pei Wu: "I've already marinated the fish, so I won't waste it."

Old-fashioned braised fish, stewed minced meat and tofu, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and a soup are all you need for a meal.

Pei Wu's phone vibrated. She opened it to find a small work group chat and a new profile picture. Initially, there was no name attached, but the new profile picture had sent four or five red envelopes (digital cash gifts). After someone praised the boss's generosity, Pei Wu glanced at the contact's name and saw the caption: "[Accounting Department Newcomer - Ji Siqi]".

Ji Siqi: [I'll treat everyone to milk tea tomorrow!]

Thank you! Thank you!

Pei Wu closed her phone, thinking that Ji Siqi was quite good at handling people.

After finishing his meal and resting for a while, Pei Wu went upstairs to take a shower. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he became alert. He instinctively tried to lock himself in, but he was no match for Lu Xiwen. The man's long arm reached out and pulled Pei Wu into his arms.

"Don't you need to rest?!"

“This is rest…” Lu Xi’s voice was deep and resonant.

Pei Wu resisted for a couple of moments, but his body suddenly went limp. "Oh well," Pei Wu thought to himself, "this is the only hobby my Alpha has right now."

But unsurprisingly, Pei Zhu regretted it more than three hours later.

"That's enough!" Pei Wu pushed the person out: "I have to go to work tomorrow!!"

"The last time, the very last time!"

The last bit of nonsense! Pei Wu felt like the alarm clock went off less than two minutes after she fell asleep.

Each day passed by like this.

On the way to the company, Pei Wu didn't give Lu Xiwen a friendly look, while Lu Xiwen smiled broadly, looking completely satisfied.

But as soon as he entered the company gate, Lu Xiwen looked like someone owed him money. Everyone who was chatting and laughing at the entrance immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and the lobby was cleared out in a "whoosh".

Lu Xiwen glanced at his watch. "Chang Rong is still too idle."

Pei Wu: "..." Speak like a human being.

They took the private elevator, but before they entered, a figure came into view. She was wearing a bright orange jacket and a casual outfit. Ji Siqi had fair skin and a youthful appearance.

Pei Wu liked it quite a bit; it was the confidence that came from being raised in such a privileged environment.

"Mr. Lu," Ji Siqi said, handing over the item in her hand, "Please have some milk tea!"

Ji Siqi paused slightly as she spoke, "It's very sweet."

Lu Xiwen hates sweet drinks the most, and he can only accept Pei Wupao's drinks with a little honey.

"Oh dear." Before Lu Xiwen could reply, someone said in a strange tone, "We're both drinking milk tea, so why is Mr. Lu's the top-of-the-line one? Ours is just regular."

"Yes, Siqi!"

The unspoken understanding spread, and the air itself seemed to be filled with anticipation.

Why……

Pei Wu sighed and closed her eyes.

"Are you bored?" Lu Xi's cold voice was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads. "There are only three minutes left before we have to clock in. Can you all be in your best working condition once you enter the company?"

After saying that, he stared at Ji Siqi and said, "I never drink these."

The few people who had spoken up suddenly looked terrified, and amidst a flurry of apologies to Mr. Lu, they pushed and shoved each other away.

"I guessed it," Pei Wu thought to herself.

Ji Siqi looked embarrassed. Perhaps to save face, he handed the milk tea to Pei Wu, who was standing next to him: "Then Assistant Pei, you can drink it."

Lu Xi's voice immediately rose: "He won't drink!"

Pei Wu: "..." You can tell who Ji Siqi is expressing goodwill to, right?

Even after getting into the elevator, the alarm radar from Lu Xiwen hadn't dissipated.

Pei Wu couldn't help but say, "That milk tea was originally meant for you, it has nothing to do with me."

"What if his real intention is not what he wants?" Lu Xiwen was extremely protective of his own little plot of land. It wasn't that he was petty; just ask Guan Yan, every time he went out, there was always a line of people waiting to get Pei Wu's contact information.

Unknown rivals spring up like mushrooms after rain. If Lu Xiwen is even slightly careless, they will seize the opportunity to mock him. Originally, Omegas don't need to be on guard, but he couldn't help but encounter a "devoted and unrepentant" Ruan Hanyan. Lu Xiwen will never forget him in this lifetime, especially those deep and sticky eyes that looked at Pei Wuyou.

Deduct it!

Lu Xiwen, relying on his imagination, became extremely jealous and went all out during the morning meeting.

Around noon, Lu Xiwen went to the cafeteria with two assistants.

Changrong's canteen is very well built, like a high-end restaurant, and there are always enough seats available.

As soon as Lan Zhe entered, he saw the young master of the Ji family sitting by the window, already chatting and laughing with most of the people in the accounting department.

Ji Siqi looked over and then spoke to the person next to him.

"I saw some spicy chicken, want some?" Before Pei Wu could finish speaking, Lu Xiwen pulled him into his arms. It turned out that he had almost bumped into a trash can.

Lu Xiwen: "You seem a bit out of sorts today."

Pei Wu remained expressionless and silent.

Lu Xiwen: "..." Ah, sorry, he was a little unrestrained last night.

Lu Xiwen took Pei Wu's plate with a smile and said, "Assistant Pei, what would you like to eat?"

"Egg custard, stir-fried cabbage, and stir-fried pork with chili peppers will do."

Lu Xi didn't respond. After browsing through the row of windows, he bought Pei Wu two more meat dishes.

"I can't finish it."

"I'll eat the rest if you can't finish them." Lu Xiwen picked the peanuts from Pei Wu's plate and put them in his own bowl; Pei Wu didn't really like them.

Ji Siqi stared blankly, recalling Lu Xiwen's action of pulling Pei Wu back to protect her. It wasn't abrupt, and could even be described as natural, but for such behavior to come from Lu Xiwen was simply absurd.

"Are you sure there's nothing between President Lu and Assistant Pei?" someone whispered.

"I've suspected it for a long time. Haven't you noticed that President Lu treats Assistant Pei very differently? Take getting food for example. President Lu is such a pampered person. When has he ever offered to get food for someone else?"

Lan Zhe overheard this while passing by and had already given up on helping to cover it up.
