Zhou Yanchen had his signature smile on his face: "Don't worry, we can still have time to talk after dinner."
Pei Yike heard this and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
Based on her understanding of Zhou Yanchen, she guessed at a glance that he was probably here specifically to ruin the atmosphere.
How could Pei Xiao see through Zhou Yanchen's tricks?
He knew in his heart that Zhou Yanchen was lying when he said he had something to talk to him about. He was probably just rushing here from some other place.
The target person is Dr. Shen.
However, he also secretly marveled that Zhou Yanchen was too well-informed about the news.
Because of Zhou Yanchen's arrival, the originally relaxed and harmonious dining atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
The conversation was no longer as lively as before, and the topics became a little stiff.
Every word and every look seemed to hide a deeper meaning.
However, Zhou Yanchen, the instigator, was unaware of the situation.
After the meal, several people walked out of the restaurant.
Pei Xiao turned to Shen Qingli and said, "Doctor Shen, the personal bodyguards you requested are already waiting for you. Are you going to my company to meet them now?"
Shen Qingli smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Pei, I'll trouble you then."
Zhou Yanchen, who was standing aside, felt inexplicably upset when he saw Shen Qingli and Pei Xiao talking so gently.
This feeling came without warning, yet was so strong.
He took a step forward subconsciously, as if trying to break the seemingly harmonious atmosphere between the two.
Shen Qingli noticed that Zhou Yanchen was still following them, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, why are you still following us?"
"I told you I had something to discuss with President Pei, but we haven't talked yet. What? Did I disturb you?"
Zhou Yanchen still had a smile on his face, but that smile seemed a bit forced.
"I am indeed disturbed." Shen Qingli did not be tactful this time. She looked straight at Zhou Yanchen, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly regained her composure.
Zhou Yanchen shamelessly followed them to Pei Xiao's office.
When he stepped into the spacious, bright and modern office area, his eyes always followed Shen Qingli's figure closely.
In the office, Shen Qingli was having a serious conversation with two private bodyguards, explaining his demands in detail.
Her voice was soft but firm, and she explained the key points clearly.
Zhou Yanchen sat on the sofa beside him, seemingly flipping through a magazine casually, but in fact, his mind was completely focused on it.
He looked up at Shen Qingli from time to time, and as he listened to her words, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
놊 wanted my help and turned around to find Pei Xiao.
Who is the child's biological father?
Zhou Yanchen sighed softly in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.
His eyes moved back and forth between Shen Qingli and Pei Xiao. Seeing Shen Qingli being polite to Pei Xiao but cold as ice to him, the feeling of being treated differently made him furious.
When Shen Qingli looked at him, the look in his eyes, as if he saw his enemy, was like sharp thorns piercing his heart.
During the conversation, Pei Yike received a phone call and left in a hurry.
Shen Qingli continued to communicate with the private bodyguard in an orderly manner, and soon reached an agreement on all matters and signed the contract smoothly.
After the discussion, Shen Qingli felt a wave of fatigue coming over him.
She barely slept for several hours last night, and she was busy all day without even a break. She felt a little dizzy and her body seemed to have been drained of strength.
"Brother Pei, I have already discussed it with them. I won't disturb you at work anymore. I will go back first."
"I'm busy now, I'll take you back first."
However, before Pei Xiao finished speaking, Zhou Yanchen walked over quickly and took over the conversation, "Excuse me, Mr. Pei, I'll take Doctor Shen back. I'm on my way."
Pei Xiao was very confused, and he thought to himself: Does Zhou Yanchen know where Shen Qingli lives?
After Shen Qingli heard Zhou Yanchen's words, he glared at him fiercely and said firmly: "No need, I'll take a taxi back by myself."
"Brother Pei, goodbye."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out, with a hint of haste in her steps, as if she wanted to escape from Zhou Yanchen as quickly as possible.
Is Zhou Yanchen sick?
It has been so haunted.
Shen Qingli complained secretly in her heart.
She was exhausted at the moment and really didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Yanchen anymore.
Seeing this, Zhou Yanchen was not willing to give up easily.
He quickly turned around and followed them, leaving Pei Xiao standing there alone, looking at their leaving backs with a helpless look on his face.
When Zhou Yanchen chased out, Shen Qingli had already entered the elevator.
Seeing the elevator door was about to close, he was extremely anxious and ran up with big strides, opening the elevator door at the last moment before it closed.
He walked into the elevator, and Shen Qingli didn't even look at him, but turned her back to him.
The narrow elevator space was filled with a suffocating silence.
"Shen Qingli, can we just talk calmly?" Zhou Yanchen was the first to break the silence, his voice filled with helplessness and pleading.
"Is it necessary for you to act like an angry little lion every time you see me?"
"I didn't throw swill at you, I was being very polite to you."
"Also, I have this attitude towards people I hate." Shen Qingli responded coldly, without a trace of warmth in his voice.
Her words were like sharp blades, piercing straight into Zhou Yanchen's heart.
Before she finished her words, Shen Qingli suddenly felt a strong force attacking her and she was turned around.
Zhou Yanchen held her shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes full of pain: "Shen Qingli, what do you want me to do to relieve your hatred?"
"I know I was a jerk before. I really know I was wrong." His voice trembled a little, as if he was suppressing the pain and guilt deep in his heart.
Shen Qingli looked at him, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her indifference: "Unless you disappear from my world, our relationship will never be like this."
