Ming Yao marries into the Pei family in place of her sister, who has a messy private life, and becomes pregnant with that man's child.
As a result, her child is snatched away, her mother ...
On the surface, she looks like a fragile porcelain doll, but in reality, she is incredibly skilled, even capable of captivating a superhuman like Pei Siyu.
Thinking of this, the assistant looked at her with more approval and appreciation.
Mingyao put on her new shoes, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The high heels that Pei Siyu gave me fit surprisingly well, and most importantly, they were very comfortable to wear, without any of the cramped feeling I had when wearing high heels before.
"Thank you, I really like it, and the design is very unique."
"These shoes were a gift from a foreign client who has a good relationship with Master Pei. The client heard that Master Pei was getting married and even inquired about Miss's shoe size. After they were delivered, Master Pei kept them in his office."
He thought the shoes would just sit in the office collecting dust, but he didn't expect Su Xueya to wear them so quickly.
"How strange!" Mingyao thought to herself.
Pei Siyu avoided the topic of marriage like the plague, keeping it a secret for fear of letting others know.
As a result, the news got back to the ears of foreign clients.
It's easy to imagine how sour Pei Siyu's face was when she received the shoes. Thinking of this, she chuckled and walked with a much lighter step.
Since the shoes are so comfortable, I'll just give him a simple thank you.
Before she even reached Pei Siyu's bedroom, Wu Ma, who was setting the table downstairs, saw through her intentions. "Miss Su, Master Pei went out just as dawn was breaking."
"Breakfast is ready, Miss Su, please come down and eat."
Mingyao glanced at the time; it was just past her work start time.
I was so engrossed in admiring my new shoes that I missed my meal.
She rushed downstairs, looking at Wu Ma apologetically, "I'll skip breakfast for now, I'm running late for work."
She needs to take a taxi to work from Changhong Street, which is the closest street to the Pei family mansion.
The Pei family mansion is a ten-minute walk from Changhong Street, so there wasn't time to have breakfast.
The reason she took a taxi on Changhong Street was because she was afraid of exposing her marital relationship with Pei Siyu.
Even after get off work, she would park her taxi on Changhong Street to avoid being followed.
Aunt Wu muttered, "Food is as essential as iron; how can we not eat?"
Mingyao smiled apologetically and said, "It's hard to get a taxi on Changhong Street, I need to go early."
"Miss Su, there's no need to rush."
The assistant stepped forward and blocked her way. "Master Pei instructed me to take Miss to work."
Mingyao's eyes widened in shock. "Take me to work?" she exclaimed.
She thought she had misheard, and asked with feigned surprise and delight, "What should I do if someone sees me dropping me off at work?"
Recalling Pei Siyu's almost devouring expression last night, Mingyao was skeptical of her assistant's words.
"Miss Su, rest assured, Mr. Pei specifically instructed me to park in a secluded spot."
Mingyao frowned, then feigned embarrassment and agreed, "Okay."
Mingyao was delighted to have a car take her to work, and even her meals tasted better.
As they exited the Pei family mansion, the timing was perfect. The assistant pressed the car key, and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked at the entrance rang twice.
"Assistant, won't driving this car attract too much attention?"
The assistant coughed twice, opened the car door, and then said, "This is the only car in Master Pei's garage that looks ordinary."
Mingyao: "..."
Sitting in the car, she was in a daze for a moment before she arrived at the back gate of the company. She looked around and made sure no one was there before getting out of the car.
"Thank you, assistant. Let's hurry up and leave before anyone sees us."
The assistant nodded slightly, closed the car window, and floored the accelerator.
Watching her assistant drive away, Mingyao breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the company in her high heels.
In a hidden corner, a flashing camera snapped two photos of her back.
"Your shoes are so beautiful."
As soon as I entered the company, a smartly dressed woman came to greet me.
She stared intently at Mingyao's shoes, her mouth agape in an "O" shape.
Mingyao followed her gaze and examined her shoes. They were pretty, but there was no need to be so surprised.
The woman snapped out of her daze, looked up at Mingyao, her eyes curving into crescent shapes. "You must be the new receptionist, Su Xueya. My name is Ni An, and I'm also a receptionist."
“I happened to take the day off yesterday, so this is the first time we’ve met.”
She extended her hand to show her friendliness, and her attitude was very sincere.
Mingyao gently took her hand, returned a polite smile, and said, "Hello."
Ni An's round, oval face was beaming with smiles. Beneath her crescent-shaped eyebrows were a pair of captivating, colorful peach blossom eyes. A perfectly placed black mole under her left eye added a touch of charm and allure to her beautiful eyes.
Unlike Mingyao's delicate and aloof beauty, Ni An's beauty is more flamboyant and outgoing.
"My supervisor said you're two years older than me. Can I call you 'sister'?"
Mingyao looked at Ni An in surprise, "Sister?"
Ni An didn't mention her age, so she thought she was even younger.
Although she was only in her early twenties, Ni An exuded a worldly charm and the allure of a thirty-year-old woman, while the curiosity and enthusiasm in her eyes barely hinted at a twenty-year-old.
"Sure." Mingyao smiled slightly, withdrawing her scrutinizing gaze.
Ni An's gaze fell on Ming Yao's high heels again, her eyes full of envy. "Sister, I really envy you."
"The high heels I wear to work are all limited edition designer shoes; I heard there are fewer than ten pairs in the world!"
Mingyao was surprised and asked Ni An with skepticism, "Really?"
Foreign clients might give Pei Siyu expensive gifts, but Pei Siyu would never give her expensive gifts in return.
Unless he's gone mad!
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
"There's no way I could be mistaken!"
Ni An said confidently, "WQ is one of my favorite brands. The shoes my sister is wearing are called Black Swan, which are WQ's centennial anniversary limited edition from last month."
WQ is a top luxury clothing brand with a century-long heritage in E country. The Black Swan high heels are a special high heel for the centennial celebration. From design to workmanship, they are top-notch. The price is not expensive, but with the brand effect and sentimental support, they are priceless.
Mingyao had also heard of WQ.
Among Su Xueya's group of friends, Jiang Rongrong is a fan of the WQ brand, and she might not even own these shoes.
Pei Siyu actually made himself wear WQ high heels, which are priceless and have a huge market value, to work. It was such a waste!
Mingyao suddenly felt that her high heels were very hot.
Ni An narrowed her eyes, affectionately took Ming Yao's arm, and tentatively asked, "Is the black swan dress you're wearing a gift from someone?"
Mingyao gasped and nodded stiffly, "Yes, it's a gift."
"Sister, your husband is so generous! You're so lucky to have married such a man!"
“I’d be willing to pay anyone for such a great man. Unlike my boyfriend, who’s so stingy when I ask him for a bag.”
The envy in Ni An's eyes was almost overflowing, and she was full of curiosity about Ming Yao's husband.
"Black swans aren't something you can just buy whenever you want; my sister's husband is a very capable person!"
Pei Siyu, a business genius known to everyone in Haidu and a workaholic in the media's eyes, how could he not be amazing?
Mingyao maintained a smile throughout.
Ni An's gaze grew increasingly fervent, his desire to explore the man behind Ming Yao reaching its peak.
