Chapter 22 Can I have it?
It rang several times before they answered.
Lin Xiyin even wondered if it was another one of Ming Qingwan's attempts to smooth things over.
Fortunately, what came into my ears was Pei Muye's deep voice.
He said "hello".
Lin Xiyin remained silent for a moment.
Pei Muye's voice carried a hint of impatience: "Lin Xiyin?"
Lin Xiyin then said, "It's like this, when you came to the hospital last night, did you pay my dad's hospital deposit?"
“We’re not divorced yet,” Pei Muyi said. “He’s an elder.”
Upon hearing his words, Lin Xiyin immediately understood what he meant.
Regardless of anything else, this was just a routine, casual action by Pei Muye.
Besides, money is the last thing he lacks.
For Lin Xiyin, no matter how big the problem is, it's nothing.
Lin Xiyin smiled wryly, a hint of self-deprecation in her eyes.
She said, "Thank you."
Pei Muye said, "That's it?"
Lin Xiyin was taken aback: "What?"
"Just a verbal thank you? That's not sincere at all."
Lin Xiyin didn't expect him to say that, so she could only ask him, "Then what do you want?"
"There's a banquet tonight, you'll come with me." Pei Muyi added, "We're not divorced yet, so female companions are required for the banquet."
This kind of thing has happened before, and Lin Xiyin has accompanied him there once or twice.
"I need to stay at the hospital tonight to keep an eye on things. If I go, I need to be back around 8 p.m., is that okay?"
Pei Muye said, "Okay."
Lin Xiyin said, "Okay, tell me the address, and I..."
"I'll have someone pick you up this afternoon and take you to get your hair and makeup done first." Pei Muye finished speaking, his tone seemingly a little impatient: "That's it."
Then it hung up.
Before Lin Xiyin could even say "okay," the phone started beeping.
He didn't want to say a single unnecessary word to himself.
Lin Xiyin put down her phone, rolled over in bed, and covered herself with the blanket.
A little while later, she lifted the blanket, revealing a pale little face, and fell asleep on her side.
I slept until noon.
When she opened her eyes, she was somewhat bewildered, not knowing what day it was.
I picked up my phone and glanced at it; it was already past two o'clock.
Lin Zihao sent her a message saying that Lin Yiming was doing well and that she shouldn't worry.
She got up and washed up, and before she could even eat anything, she received a call from Pei Muye's special assistant, Yue Linze.
"Madam, we'll be downstairs in ten minutes."
Lin Xiyin quickly replied, "Okay, I'll come downstairs right away."
She hadn't expected it to be so early, and there wasn't time to eat, so she changed her clothes and went downstairs.
When she reached the entrance of the residential area, she saw a black luxury car.
Both the car logo and the license plate are quite unusual.
Yue Linze got out of the passenger seat and nodded slightly to her: "Madam."
Lin Xiyin didn't have much contact with Yue Linze, but she knew that Yue Linze was Pei Muye's right-hand man, a typical finance guy, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looking refined and aloof.
Yue Linze opened the back door for her, and Lin Xiyin thanked him before getting into the car.
As the car started, Yue Linze said, "President Pei was originally going to come in person, but something came up and he was delayed."
He came in person?
How could that be?
I never expected Yue Linze to say such polite things.
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Assistant Yue."
Yue Linze glanced at her, smiled, and turned to sit in the passenger seat.
They didn't say anything else the rest of the way.
We arrived at the styling studio quickly.
Yue Linze led her inside and introduced her: "Linlang is a very famous stylist. Many celebrities have come to him for styling."
Lin Xiyin was taken directly to the second-floor lobby.
She initially thought Linlang was a woman, but then she saw a long-haired boy on the second floor.
She looked to be in her mid-twenties, with delicate features and a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
He looks a lot like a male lead in an idol drama.
He didn't say much, chatted with Lin Xiyin for a few minutes, and then chose a dress and shoes.
Finally comes the makeup and styling, mainly the hair and facial makeup.
Linlang looked down at Lin Xiyin's face and said, "Miss Lin has very good skin."
After he finished speaking, he gave some instructions to the makeup artist next to him.
Lin Xiyin thought it was him doing her makeup, but it turned out to be someone else.
Linlang noticed the question in her eyes and explained, "I have an appointment, so there's a time conflict. But don't worry, I'll take care of your makeup. Besides, Xiaoyu does a great job with it."
Lin Xiyin didn't care about any of that. After thanking them, she closed her eyes and let them paint all over her face.
About twenty minutes later, she heard a familiar laugh.
She opened her eyes and saw Ming Qingwan.
She didn't come alone. Pei Muye, whom Yue Linze said couldn't come due to some last-minute matters, was standing next to Ming Qingwan.
Ming Qingwan took his arm.
The man is noble and handsome, the woman is delicate and petite; they are like a perfect couple.
"President Pei, Qingwan, you've arrived." Linlang greeted them, "You must be tired from your journey. Would you like something to drink first, or should we start right away?"
Lin Xiyin looked at Linlang's attitude towards them, which was completely different from her indifference just now.
Moreover, the fact that he was so familiar with them meant that Pei Muyi and Ming Qingwan had clearly visited before.
Pei Muye's gaze swept lightly over Lin Xiyin.
Ming Qingwan glanced at her, then smiled and said to Linlang, "Let's start now, but I'd like to trouble you to get some drinks for my brother Muye. He's had a long day and is very tired."
Ming Qingwan was quickly led to sit next to Lin Xiyin.
Linlang enthusiastically introduced her to today's dress.
Ming Qingwan glanced to the side and said with a smile, "I've never seen this dress that Sister Xiyin is wearing before?"
Linlang glanced at Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin chose the dress herself.
The ones Linlang chose for her were either revealing or had exposed cleavage.
This one is relatively conservative, with only a cutout design at the waist.
Lin Xiyin's slender waist was so delicate that it could be encircled with one hand, and the openwork revealed her porcelain-white skin, making it impossible for men to look away.
“This is the latest style, it was shipped from overseas overnight yesterday.” After explaining, Linlang whispered in Ming Qingwan’s ear, “The size of that dress is too small, it may not fit your waist properly if you wear it.”
A fleeting look of jealousy crossed Ming Qingwan's face. Linlang's words were spoken subtly, but Ming Qingwan understood them.
It means that her waist wasn't as slender as Lin Xiyin's.
Ming Qingwan gritted her teeth, then smiled: "But I quite like it."
Linlang was immediately in a dilemma.
He certainly wouldn't offend Ming Qingwan; she's a major client.
Moreover, Pei Muye was also with them.
As for Lin Xiyin...
Lin Lang quickly made a decision. He looked at Lin Xiyin and said, "Miss Lin, I suddenly remembered that your makeup and hair later might not be suitable for this dress."
Linlang thought that she could loosen the thread at the waist, but she couldn't offend Ming Qingwan.
Lin Xiyin subconsciously looked at Ming Qingwan.
Ming Qingwan looked at her defiantly, but spoke softly: "Sister Xiyin, I also like the one you're wearing. Why don't you let me wear it? It doesn't suit you anyway."
Pei Muye looked up at him.
Lin Xiyin suddenly felt that it was all so boring.
Just as she was about to get up, she heard Pei Muye say, "Give it to Qingwan."
He made the decision without the slightest hesitation.
Lin Xiyin got up and went to change her clothes.
Pei Muye watched her retreating figure, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
She quickly picked out another one, this time an off-the-shoulder design, which she could barely accept.
When she came out, Linlang looked over and couldn't help but admire her in her heart.
It was an ordinary dress, but Lin Xiyin's figure was so good that it made her look stunning. Her slender and beautiful shoulders were exposed, and her skin was so white it seemed to glow.
And there are also clearly defined and beautiful collarbones, and a graceful and slender swan neck...
Ming Qingwan was talking to Pei Muye: "Brother Muye, I knew you were the best to me!"
Pei Muye's gaze fell on Lin Xiyin, then quickly shifted away: "Qingwan, whatever you like."
Linlang said, "President Pei is truly outstanding. Not only is he successful in his career, but he also spends hours with Miss Ming during her makeup and styling sessions without ever showing any impatience. He is a role model for all men."
Ming Qingwan chuckled softly, her voice sweet: "Brother Muye has always been very good to me."
She changed into the dress with a cutout at the waist and twirled in front of Pei Muye: "Brother Muye, how does it look?"
Pei Muye's eyes were filled with a smile: "It looks very good."
Lin Xiyin sat down beside her expressionlessly.
After finishing her makeup and styling, Lin Xiyin looked down at her phone and didn't glance at Pei Muyi again.
Ming Qingwan was ready, and then she took Pei Muye's arm and said, "Brother Muye, let's go."
Pei Muye left directly with Ming Qingwan.
Lin Xiyin froze as she looked at her phone.
Soon, Yue Linze walked over, bent down and said, "Madam, let's go."
Lin Xiyin stood up, thanked Linlang and the makeup artist, and then left.
They soon arrived at the banquet hall. After getting out of the car, she saw Pei Yunqing taking Ming Qingwan from Pei Muye's arms.
Pei Muye's expression... was very unpleasant.
Lin Xiyin stood quietly for a few seconds before Pei Muye looked over, his tone icy: "Aren't you coming over?"
She walked over and stood beside Pei Muye without saying a word.
Pei Muye frowned and looked down at her: "Take my arm."
Lin Xiyin looked at his arm.
The sleeve of her dress, which Ming Qingwan had just released, still had slight wrinkles.
Lin Xiyin curled her lips into a self-deprecating smile and reached out to take his arm.
At the banquet, the room was filled with distinguished guests, and toasts were exchanged.
If she hadn't married Pei Muye, Lin Xiyin felt she would never have been able to attend a banquet like this in her entire life.
The men were all dressed in suits and ties, and all seemed to be successful in their careers.
The woman wore exquisite makeup and a luxurious gown, exuding elegance and grace.
Even so, Pei Muyi still attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered.
Compared to those men, Pei Muye was undoubtedly superior.
He controls all of the Pei family's businesses, and his name appears on the rich lists not only domestically but also globally.
Not to mention, he himself is tall and handsome.
The women looked at him with fervent admiration.
The men present all turned their attention to Lin Xiyin.
She was wearing a black dress, the material of which was form-fitting and accentuated her perfect figure.
The waist is the waist, and the hips are the hips.
The rise and fall of her chest was just right.
Especially her exposed, fair skin made it impossible for men to look away.
