Qiao Yu dislikes Du Feng so much because he harassed her.

If his aunt and cousin hadn't warned him, he probably would have made a move on her.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Ding Qingle and Qiao Yu got out of the car together.

Upon seeing the luxurious hotel, Qiao Yu's eyes widened immediately. "Wow, this, this five-star hotel must be very expensive."

"It's okay, I'll pay it."

Five-star hotels have a high level of security, so Mingyao wanted the two of them to stay there.

Mingyao took her bank card, intending to pay at the hotel front desk.

"etc."

Ding Qingle stopped Ming Yao, glaring at her intently, "Su Xueya, what do you mean?"

Are you looking down on me?

She stood with her hands on her hips, staring intently at Mingyao, her fierce gaze scraping across Mingyao's face like a knife.

"Do you think I'm broke? Do you think I need you to pay for even a five-star hotel?"

Mingyao put away the bank card. "Okay, then you can pay."

Ding Qingle stood frozen in place, staring at Ming Yao, speechless.

Ding Qingle glared at Ming Yao again, "Don't bother with your troubles!"

She pulled Qiao Yu along and strode quickly into the hotel.

Mingyao watched their retreating figures, shook her head helplessly, and said nothing.

Back at the Pei family mansion, Mingyao stood anxiously at the door.

She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and her heart leaped into her throat.

Pei Siyu called her so many times, but she hung up on them all. The only call she made was answered by a thug.

Mingyao dared not imagine her future.

She could even imagine Pei Siyu's face, a face capable of devouring everything.

Just imagining Pei Siyu's face, as black as coal, made Mingyao shudder.

She stood at the door, clutching her palms, which were covered in a layer of cold sweat.

Dying sooner or later is the same as dying, so might as well reincarnate sooner!

Mingyao gritted her teeth and decided to press the doorbell.

She didn't ring the doorbell, and the door opened automatically.

Mingyao's heart pounded so hard it felt like it would leap out of her chest. The words she had rehearsed countless times in her mind were now unspeakable.

"Miss Su, didn't you come back with Master Pei?"

Wu Ma's voice pulled Mingyao back from her chaotic thoughts.

Mingyao composed herself, stared at Wu Ma in astonishment, and remained stunned for a long while.

"It's cold, come in quickly."

Aunt Wu pulled Mingyao in and craned her neck to look behind her.

Wu Ma was somewhat disappointed not to see Pei Siyu.

In the large living room, Pei Siyu was nowhere to be seen, only servants walking back and forth.

Mingyao blinked, and her anxious heart inexplicably calmed down a little.

"Where is Master Pei?" she asked tentatively, scrutinizing Wu Ma's profile.

Aunt Wu said, "Master Pei has gone out."

"They went out?"

"Where did you go?"

Aunt Wu shook her head. "Miss Su, the food is still on the table. Master Pei has been waiting for you to come back."

Mingyao was somewhat dazed, her mind suddenly going completely blank.

Pei Siyu actually waited for her to come back for dinner!

Is that why he keeps making phone calls?

The doorbell rang, and Aunt Wu rushed forward to open the door.

Before Mingyao could react, Wu Ma's cheerful voice rang out, "Master Pei, Miss Su is back!"

The words "Master Pei" pierced Mingyao's ears like steel needles.

Mingyao couldn't help but shiver, and her face immediately turned ashen.

A chill ran down her spine, and her body went flat and stiff.

What a coincidence! She had just returned when Pei Siyu came back!

Mingyao felt like crying inside, but had no choice but to keep a smile on her face.

Mingyao clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.

After composing herself, Mingyao turned around and greeted Pei Siyu with a bright smile, "Good evening, Mr. Pei!"

As she looked up, Mingyao met Pei Siyu's deep and cold eyes.

Mingyao's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face immediately faded.

Pei Siyu stood just a fist's distance away from her, his exquisite yet stern features suddenly magnified several times in front of her, almost filling Mingyao's field of vision.

Mingyao's heart stopped beating at that moment. She clenched her fists, stared intently at Pei Siyu, and wished she could find a hole to crawl into immediately.

Pei Siyu was dressed in a custom-made black suit, and the cold aura he exuded became even colder under the onslaught of the cool night.

Mingyao's breath hitched, and her body suddenly felt cold.

She had a bad feeling.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Mingyao could smell the blood mixed in with the cold air.

She sniffed carefully and indeed there was a faint smell of blood.

Did Pei Siyu get injured?

Mingyao withdrew her gaze and began to look Pei Siyu up and down.

Suddenly, Mingyao felt a tightness on her shoulders.

Pei Siyu gripped Mingyao's shoulder tightly with his long, slender hands.

He was very strong, almost crushing her bones.

Mingyao groaned in pain, frowned, and looked at Pei Siyu with a pitiful expression.

Fortunately, it was a little better than she had imagined.

Pei Siyu's expression wasn't very good, but he didn't look like he wanted to devour her.

"Master Pei."

Mingyao pinched her throat, making her voice sound trembling and pitiful.

Her eyes were red, and tears kept welling up in them, making her look pitiful.

Pei Siyu's grip didn't loosen; instead, he tightened it even more.

"Su Xueya, you've got some nerve now."

"Go to the class reunion by yourself!"

Mingyao was taken aback, looked at Pei Siyu in surprise, and asked in astonishment, "Are you worried about me?"
