Chapter 117 Name Your Conditions
Before he could say anything more, Lin Xiyin spoke up: "President Pei, do you know that what you're doing is very offensive?"
Pei Muye said, "I know, but I can't help it. You've blocked all my contact methods."
Indeed, he secretly added her as a friend in the middle of the night and even saved her phone number.
Lin Xiyin deleted it again.
"So what?" Lin Xiyin looked at him: "You can just ignore other people's feelings, investigate their addresses, and show up in front of them like this?"
"I don't know what to do." Pei Muye's eyes were filled with pain. "At least, please give me a chance to pursue you."
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to give it to you.” Lin Xiyin said directly, “I don’t know what President Pei means, but I can tell you very clearly that I don’t like it, I disagree, and I have absolutely no intention of giving it to you. So, please, President Pei, be lenient and let me go.”
Pei Muye didn't know what to say for a moment, he just looked at her with his dark eyes.
Lin Xiyin turned her face away and continued, "President Pei should also be a person who cares about his reputation. Please leave before I say anything more offensive."
"I won't leave."
A few seconds later, Pei Muye spoke.
“I won’t leave.” He repeated, “I will show you my sincerity and true feelings.”
After saying that, he stepped forward, getting closer to her, and handed her what he was holding.
Lin Xiyin subconsciously looked down.
A delicate and beautiful red jewelry box.
Even though more than three years have passed, Lin Xiyin still remembered the moment when Pei Muye gave her the earring.
Then she was asked to give the items to Ming Qingwan.
Those earrings were a free gift.
Lin Xiyin smiled but didn't reach out to take it. She simply asked, "What does President Pei mean?"
"This is a gift for you." Pei Muye's hand was still outstretched. "I hope you will accept it."
"Sorry, I won't accept it." Lin Xiyin took two steps back and walked in another direction: "Don't waste your energy."
“Feelings aren’t a valve that can be controlled at will; liking someone is the most uncontrollable thing.” Pei Muye said, “I don’t want to do this either, but I still beg you, give me a chance.”
Yes, feelings and affections, if they could really be given up in an instant, then why did she suffer so much in the years before?
There wouldn't be so many tragedies caused by love in the world.
But when Pei Muyi said those words, Lin Xiyin only felt it was ironic and ridiculous.
His words sounded grand and righteous, but what about all the suffering she endured in the past?
Is she just unlucky?
Lin Xiyin gave him a half-smile, then walked away without looking back.
Pei Muye stood there, stunned, holding the gift he was going to give her.
Lin Xiyin's gaze...
She said he was disgusting, but he still managed to muster the courage to see her again.
But her gaze, filled with resistance, disgust, sarcasm, and mockery, was like a sharp sword that pierced straight into Pei Muye's heart.
Lin Xiyin not only disliked him, but also loathed him.
In that instant, he became acutely aware of this fact.
He returned to the Pei family's old residence.
There was a document in a safe in his former bedroom.
He never expected to see Ming Qingwan at the Pei family's residence.
Ming Qingwan stood up when she saw him: "Brother Muye, why are you back at this time?"
"Get the documents." Pei Muye glanced at her only once before heading upstairs.
He acted as if he didn't see Zhou Yusu at all, without even saying hello.
Zhou Yusu didn't dare to say anything. After he went upstairs, she put on airs and said, "Qingwan, if you don't have anything else to do, you can leave."
Pei Yunqing has recently been getting to know a girl from a very good family, and Zhou Yusu has long since looked down on Ming Qingwan.
Pei Muye took the documents and went downstairs, leaving only Zhou Yusu in the living room.
Zhou Yusu asked him, "Your dad will be back soon. Are you staying for dinner?"
"No." Pei Muye's voice was cold.
He walked into the courtyard and saw Ming Qingwan next to his car.
"Brother Muye, could you give me a ride?" Ming Qingwan looked at him with a smile: "I have something to tell you."
Pei Muye stood still: "Speak."
"Brother Muye..."
The person in front of him was pretty and gentle, and her voice was also delicate. But to Pei Muye's ears, it was just the difference between a woman and a man.
He frowned: "What exactly is going on?"
Ming Qingwan could only ask, "Brother Muye, I wanted to ask if you're going to Sister Lianyi's birthday party? What kind of gift should I prepare? I'm a little worried and would like to ask for your opinion."
"I'm not going," Pei Muye replied decisively.
Ming Qingwan was secretly delighted, but still pretended to be puzzled: "Why? Aren't you going to Sister Lianyi's birthday party?"
"Is there anything else?" Pei Muye had already reached for the car door.
Ming Qingwan bit her lower lip and then said, "Brother Muye, there's one more question."
"Speak," Pei Muyi said, already very impatient.
"Lin Xiyin hasn't been bothering you, has she?" Ming Qingwan said, "She already has a child. If she were still bothering you, she would be shameless."
Pei Muye's expression immediately turned ugly.
Upon seeing this, Ming Qingwan realized she had misunderstood and immediately added fuel to the fire: "Really? She already has a child, and she's still so unfaithful? I knew it, she liked you so much back then, the divorce was definitely a ploy to get you to back down..."
Pei Muye was stunned.
Ming Qingwan continued, "Anyway, no matter what she does, don't fall for it. Let me tell you, she's a very cunning person..."
"What did you just say?" Pei Muye asked with difficulty.
Ming Qingwan was taken aback: "I said she was very insidious..."
"The previous sentence."
"Don't fall for it..."
"Not this sentence."
"About the divorce?" Ming Qingwan looked at his expression and tentatively asked, "Does she like you?"
Pei Muye stared at her: "How did you know?"
Ming Qingwan was a little unsure what Pei Muye meant.
But it's easy to guess that men are inherently perverse; they mostly don't even look at women who like them.
She quickly said, "I've known for a long time, and many people know that Lin Xiyin likes you. Otherwise, why would she have married you in the first place?"
Pei Muye's fingertips trembled slightly.
Xiao Ruoyi received a call from an unknown number.
But the number didn't look like a scam at all, because the last few digits were the same.
This number is something you can't buy even if you have money.
Xiao Ruoyi answered the call, and the person on the other end introduced themselves.
"I am Pei Muye."
Xiao Ruoyi never expected that Pei Muye would contact her.
So, Huo Xianyang contacted him that night and asked him to take Lin Xiyin away, and he came to thank him today?
However, Pei Muye asked her to meet him.
Xiao Ruoyi knew without even thinking that it was related to Lin Xiyin's matter.
She said directly, "Then I'll have to ask Ruan Ruan. If she doesn't agree to me meeting you, then I'm sorry, I won't see you."
Pei Muye was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Please, don't tell her yet. I just have something I want to confirm with you."
Xiao Ruoyi was surprised that Pei Muye would be so humble on the phone.
She was pleased: "Okay, where shall we meet? But let me tell you in advance, I'll tell Ruan Ruan everything we talk about when we meet."
Pei Muye could only take it one step at a time: "Okay."
When the two met, Xiao Ruoyi cursed the man in her heart.
No wonder Lin Xiyin liked him back then. Three years later, this man not only hasn't aged, but he looks even more handsome.
With the unique charm of a mature man, he easily attracts women's attention.
She's even better looking than Huo Xianyang.
Xiao Ruoyi struck a pose, placing her handbag on the table, sitting down casually, and crossing her legs: "President Pei, you might as well just say what you want to say. I'm very busy."
Pei Muye glanced at her and reached out to pour her some tea.
The two arranged to meet at a teahouse, since their relationship made dining rather awkward.
Unlike other private rooms, which have dedicated tea masters, this private room is very quiet, and there isn't even anyone playing the guzheng.
Xiao Ruoyi was a little flattered when she saw him pour her tea.
After all, Pei Muye's name was well-known in the upper circles of Haicheng.
There are plenty of people who want to curry favor with him.
He has always been the one who is surrounded by admirers.
I actually poured myself tea today; I could brag about it for the rest of my life.
But Xiao Ruoyi remained unmoved, looked at him and said, "Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Pei Muye finally spoke: "You've known Ruan Ruan for many years, haven't you? You must know a lot about her."
Xiao Ruoyi scoffed: "Pei Muyi, what do you mean? You two are divorced, and you're still asking about Ruan Ruan? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
“I didn’t want to ask about anything else.” Pei Muye looked at her. “I just wanted to confirm one thing.”
"Go ahead, I'm all ears."
Pei Muye said, "I want to know why Ruan Ruan married me in the first place."
Xiao Ruoyi was taken aback.
Xiao Ruoyi recalled that past.
Xiao Ruoyi was shocked for a long time when she learned that Lin Xiyin was getting married, and the groom was Pei Muye.
Honestly, it's a good thing that my good friend is going to marry into a wealthy family.
If two people are compatible, that would be even better.
But looking at Lin Xiyin's expression, Xiao Ruoyi knew that things were not like that at all.
Xiao Ruoyi subtly conveyed to her the importance of marrying someone of equal social standing.
It's not that she has class discrimination.
Instead, it's Pei Muyi who doesn't seem like the type to be in a relationship.
She was afraid that Lin Xiyin would suffer if she married him.
How can the Lin family, being a small and insignificant family, support her then?
But Lin Xiyin convinced Xiao Ruoyi with just one sentence.
She said, "Yiyi, I like him."
Over the years, Xiao Ruoyi has watched Lin Xiyin suffer and struggle, and all she can do is feel sorry for her; there's nothing she can do.
But now, with the culprit right in front of her, old and new grudges surged into her heart, and Xiao Ruoyi smiled and said, "Of course I know."
Pei Muye looked at her expectantly.
But Xiao Ruoyi curled her lips and said something infuriating: "Why should I tell you?"
Pei Muyi paused for a moment, then said, "Whatever your conditions are, just name them."
Xiao Ruoyi scoffed: "Trying to bribe me? Ruan Ruan and I are as strong as iron, don't try that on me!"
Pei Muye looked at her: "Are you choosing a location for your new company? You've got your eye on that piece of land in the west of the city?"
Xiao Ruoyi is indeed choosing a location, and she has indeed set her sights on that piece of land in the west of the city.
She raised an eyebrow: "What, are you going to lower the price for me?"
Pei Muye said in a deep voice, "I won't lower the price for you."
"Then it seems like they're not being sincere at all."
Pei Muye then uttered three words: "For you."
