Mingyao felt a sudden warmth on her body and could even faintly smell the man's unique cool woody scent. She was slightly surprised, but then a plan came to her mind. She wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to the man.

However, when she looked up, raised the corners of her lips, and looked at Pei Siyu with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, his deep, ocean-like eyes were also staring straight at her, as if he could see through everything.

Mingyao's heart trembled slightly, but before she could react, the man turned and strode away.

The situation happened suddenly, and she quickly followed.

Why is this jerk's temper getting weirder and weirder?

She chased after him while inwardly grumbling.

Pei Siyu felt a surge of irritation and found himself unable to control his behavior.

He had come to test her tricks, but when he saw her innocent and vulnerable in that private room, he actually felt that she was acting against her will and was being controlled by someone else.

Pei Siyu has long legs and big strides, so Mingyao was a little out of breath following behind. This created the image of him walking quickly ahead while Mingyao tried her best to catch up, which was seen by unsuspecting people.

"Isn't that Su Xueya? Didn't she marry into a wealthy family? Who is she chasing after now?"

"Could it be some male escort? Isn't this Su Xueya's standard procedure?"

"Who knows? Isn't she afraid the Pei family will find out? If this gets to Master Pei's ears, she'll be dead for sure!"

"Su Xueya? Is that the woman the Pei family recently married?"

Every word of the rumors reached Pei Siyu's ears. He stopped in his tracks, and Mingyao bumped into him unexpectedly. The man's hard back made her nose hurt.

We've almost reached the elevator; there aren't many people coming and going.

"Master Pei, I'm sorry..." Mingyao sniffed, now completely sober, looking pitifully at Pei Siyu.

Ye Jinfeng remembered seeing Su Xueya once before and didn't think she was particularly beautiful. But now, having seen all sorts of glamorous beauties, he rarely saw such a gentle and innocent girl. As a playboy who cherishes women, he couldn't stand by and do something about it, so he said, "Old Pei, it's just a couple of drinks. You're drinking too. You're just allowing yourself to do things your own way, while forbidding others from doing the same."

As he spoke, he noticed Pei Siyu staring at him as if he were dead. Mingyao was inwardly grateful for his help and quickly shook her head, saying, "No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have not informed Master Pei beforehand. It was a last-minute decision to come, and I originally planned to tell him when I got back..."

Pei Siyu remained silent, his handsome face showing no emotion, but the temperature around him had noticeably decreased, like a large feline whose fur had been smoothed, gradually suppressing its ferocity.

When the elevator dinged and reached the floor, he stepped inside. Mingyao, wrapped in a man's clothes, stood outside the elevator, looking completely at a loss.

It wasn't until the man frowned and glanced at her that she seemed to receive some kind of permission, and entered the elevator with a mixture of surprise and delight.

This performance deepened the furrows between Pei Siyu's brows.

Ye Jinfeng was about to step into the elevator, but as soon as he stuck one foot out, he felt a death stare and quickly pulled his foot back.

The elevator doors had already closed, and he watched helplessly as the elevator descended to the basement level of the underground parking garage, when suddenly he remembered something.

Wasn't he here for his own drinking party?!

Does this count as prioritizing romantic relationships over friendships?

The thought that these four words would be attached to Pei Siyu in his lifetime sent chills down Ye Jinfeng's spine.

That's terrifying...

Mingyao obediently followed Pei Siyu into the car. The originally spacious back seat became a bit cramped and narrow after two more people squeezed in.

The atmosphere was very quiet because no one was speaking.

Mingyao knew perfectly well what it meant to go too far, so she sat obediently from beginning to end. As the car drove on, her body slowly leaned back against the soft and comfortable leather seat, and drowsiness gradually crept in.

Today she had a job interview and a drinking party, so she was really tired. Even though she was drowsy, she subconsciously tried to lean to the other side of the car to prevent Pei Siyu from disliking her.

Pei Siyu had assumed the woman would continue to try to approach him, but after ten minutes of driving, she still hadn't appeared. He glanced at her; the woman was petite and thin, her body draped in his clothes, leaning against the side of the car. A wisp of hair cascaded down her delicate white earlobe and fell onto her shoulder. Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes fine and curled, trembling slightly like tiny brushes.

With just one glance, he indifferently looked away.

Just then, the car suddenly made a sharp turn.

Mingyao was half asleep when she suddenly swayed to the other side, letting out a cry as her head slammed into something that was both hard and soft.

Ouch, that hurts...

She hissed, bracing herself with her hands, trying to sit up.

However, the spot where his hand was resting was a little unstable, and he fell down with a thud.

The temperature around me suddenly felt lower.

Mingyao looked up and suddenly realized that Pei Siyu's cold, handsome face was shrouded in shadow in the dim light of the carriage, and her hand was on his thigh, while the spot where her head had hit her head...

She glanced at it quickly, and a scorching heat spread from her neck to her cheeks.

"I...I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Mingyao jumped up in shock and quickly distanced herself from the man.

What do you mean by feigning innocence?

What little white flower!

At this moment, Mingyao wanted to cry but had no tears; all she wanted was to live!

How could it have been so incredibly unlucky to crash in such a place!

Oh no, that hit was pretty hard...

Pei Siyu's thin lips tightened into a straight line, his temples throbbed, and his knuckles turned white at a visible speed.

The assistant and driver were unaware of what was happening behind them. The driver was observing the situation of the car when the assistant hurriedly turned around and saw Pei Siyu's pale face. He asked anxiously, "Sir, there's been a rear-end collision. Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?"

Mingyao opened her mouth: "Go..."

Pei Siyu gave her a cold glare, and she shrank back guiltily, sensing that something might be wrong!

But she dared not utter a sound!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The driver of the car that caused the accident rushed over to apologize anxiously, but the driver said rudely, "You should apologize to our husband!"

The driver of the car that caused the accident then realized that the person driving was the driver and the real culprit was in the back. She quickly looked towards the back seat and was surprised to see Ming Yao: "Su Xueya?!"

What Su Xueya?

Mingyao's brain was slow to react at this moment. She looked out the car window and saw that the person looking at her like she was an enemy was none other than Xia Kexing, who had interviewed her during the day!

It's true what they say, enemies are destined to meet!
