Suddenly, Mingyao felt a fervent gaze upon her.

She followed her instincts and looked up, only to meet Xu Sitian's gaze.

Xu Sitian seemed to sense something, and immediately concealed the malice in her eyes, smiling sweetly: "I really envy the relationship between President Pei and Miss Su."

"It's my good fortune to be able to marry President Pei."

She smiled coyly, "Many of my colleagues at the company envy me."

"Miss Xu, you will also meet your Mr. Right."

Xu Sitian was furious. She gave Mingyao a forced smile before leaving.

After get off work, Mingyao stood nervously outside Pei Siyu's office.

She took a deep breath before knocking twice on the door.

"Come in."

She nervously pushed open the door, and a cold wind hit her face.

Mingyao clenched her fist and couldn't help but shiver.

Pei Siyu sat on the sofa, staring at her coldly.

Mingyao gasped in shock, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

At this moment, Mingyao's mind went blank, and she completely lost the ability to think.

She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why Pei Siyu was angry.

Mingyao forced a smile and looked at Pei Siyu with trepidation.

"Mr. Pei, is there anything I can help you with?"

Pei Siyu glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Come here."

His voice was deep and magnetic, yet also carried a dangerous aura.

Knowing Pei Siyu as Mingyao did, she knew he was angry.

A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; it's impossible to fathom it!

Mingyao moved slowly to Pei Siyu's side, constantly glancing at his profile out of the corner of her eye.

He tried to glean some clues from his profile.

Mingyao stopped three meters away from Pei Siyu and asked cautiously, "President Pei."

Pei Siyu stared ahead, his cold, piercing gaze carrying a strong sense of coldness.

Just one glance from him gave Mingyao the illusion that he had seen right through her.

"I want you to come here."

His tone was tinged with impatience, and his gaze toward Mingyao held a hint of displeasure.

Mingyao took two more steps with trepidation, just as she was about a fist's distance from Pei Siyu.

Her wrist tightened suddenly, and Mingyao's eyes widened as she unexpectedly fell into Pei Siyu's arms.

The scent of mint wafted towards Mingyao, jolting her awake instantly.

She looked at Pei Siyu in surprise and panic, and subconsciously apologized, "It's my fault for being careless."

Pei Siyu pinched Mingyao's chin, forcing her to tilt her face up and look him in the eye.

A chill ran down her spine, and Mingyao’s pupils constricted as she stared at Pei Siyu’s face, which was so close to hers. She even began to breathe cautiously.

The warm breath brushed against my face, sending a tingling sensation through me.

“Um,” Mingyao said awkwardly, “it’s not really appropriate in the office.”

Pei Siyu tightened his grip, and Mingyao felt as if her jawbone was about to separate from her face.

What is this violent man thinking?!

Mingyao was very dissatisfied, but on the surface she had to pretend to be aggrieved and frightened.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, her clear eyes were misty, and tears hung at the corners of her eyes, threatening to fall but not actually falling. Anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.

Pei Siyu's anger intensified, like a raging fire that wanted to devour Mingyao.

"Su Xueya, did you do this on purpose?!"

"Huh?" This question stumped Mingyao, as she didn't even know why Pei Siyu was angry.

Mingyao looked at Pei Siyu with her big, watery eyes, appearing pitiful. "President Pei, what... what did I do?"

"Can we talk things out slowly?"

Pei Siyu frowned deeply, looking angry at his son's lack of ambition.

Do you really enjoy ignoring me?

Mingyao was completely confused and had no idea why Pei Siyu was angry.

Where did she ignore him?

Mingyao stammered, "President Pei, have you misunderstood something?"

"I did not ignore you."

Pei Siyu's eyes turned fierce, as if he would tear Mingyao to pieces and devour her in the next second.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Still not admitting it?"

"Why did you pretend not to see Xu Sitian when she approached me!"

Mingyao: "..."

It was simply because she ignored Xu Sitian and allowed Xu Sitian to contact him.

So she ignored it.

Mingyao was very curious about Pei Siyu's thought process.

He managed to connect two things that were clearly unrelated.

Mingyao looked at Pei Siyu pitifully, like a wounded kitten: "President Pei, everyone was there at the time."

"And I didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic towards you."

"President Pei, please don't be angry."

She used a high-pitched, coquettish voice to coax Pei Siyu.

Pei Siyu felt a tightness in his throat, his heart filled with restlessness.

He didn't let go of Mingyao; instead, he gripped her even tighter.

"Su Xueya, what are you thinking?"

When Mingyao ignored him, he really wanted to pry open Mingyao's little head and see what was stuffed inside.

What angered Pei Siyu the most was Mingyao's expression of watching a show.

They are husband and wife, not two strangers who have nothing to do with each other!

Or perhaps...

Thinking of this, Pei Siyu's heart tightened suddenly, as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand.

Mingyao never took him to heart, and never even considered him her husband.

"President Pei, what's wrong?"

Mingyao could clearly sense the change in Pei Siyu's eyes, which made her somewhat...frightened.

It's no exaggeration to say that Pei Siyu's eyes went from clear to cloudy and then to fanatical, like a ravenous beast.
