23:12 Imperial Capital Time.
Coming out of the Chaebol Marriage Management Office, the black car sped along the Fifth Ring Road in the southern suburbs of the city like an arrow from a bow.
I don’t know if it’s because of the rain or because it’s too late, but the Fifth Ring Road is too remote. There is not a single car in sight on the wide four lanes.
Inside the car, there was silence.
Ji Yuqi sat in the back car, holding the seat belt tightly, and trying to press his thin body against the door as much as possible to stay away from the man next to him.
While the Fifth Ring Road in the imperial capital might be more remote than the city center, the streetlights neatly arranged along its wide path shine brightly and dazzlingly. As the capital of Country Z, the imperial capital's lighting system has always been among the best in the country. The Lian family allocates a substantial amount from the national treasury annually to maintain the lighting system and upgrade equipment.
However, no matter how bright the lights were, they still couldn't dispel the black miasma surrounding Pei Yucheng.
He was really cold at this moment.
Even every strand of hair was wrapped in coldness.
Ji Yuqi was completely unable to withstand the suffocating and powerful aura.
The Ji family was once a top chaebol.
It can be said that Ji Yuqi has met countless important figures since he was a child.
However, the powerful and chilling aura that flowed from Pei Yucheng's bones made it difficult for Ji Yuqi to breathe.
He huddled there pitifully, even breathing carefully.
Ji Yuqi didn't know when Pei Yucheng became so cold and biting. The icy breath he exuded was enough to freeze the soul.
Obviously in her impression, Pei Yucheng is not like this.
Although he was dull and serious, there was light in his eyes when he looked at her, and sometimes he even smiled.
I don’t know if he used to be so cold and reserved in front of her, or if these five years, which were neither long nor short, had completely changed him.
Ji Yuqi huddled in the corner of the carriage anxiously, hesitating whether to say something, when Pei Yucheng's cell phone suddenly rang.
But he didn't answer.
The second time the phone rang, he hung up again.
The behavior is a bit abnormal.
Ji Yuqi couldn't help but frown her slender and beautiful eyebrows, subconsciously turned her head slightly, and glanced at the phone in Pei Yucheng's hand. She wondered if Pei Yucheng didn't answer the phone because she was in the car and had some concerns.
She hesitated and wanted to ask him to answer the phone. If there was something important that was not convenient for her to know, she could get off the car temporarily.
However, before she could speak, Pei Yucheng's phone rang again.
This time, there was no hesitation.
Pei Yucheng immediately pressed the answer button.
The next second, a gentle and soft voice sounded in the silent carriage: "What's wrong?!"
Ji Yuqi fell into a trance.
It was not only because Pei Yucheng's voice suddenly became gentle, but also because of the caller's nickname displayed on the phone screen.
Although the time is extremely short.
But the word "baby" suddenly jumped onto the screen, so clear and so eye-catching that Ji Yuqi felt an indescribable and elusive emotion suddenly surged in his chest.
Although the emotion was not intense, it was enough to make her uncomfortable.
This is Pei Yucheng's private number.
Who could have called in?!
In fact, Ji Yuqi had an idea as early as the first time the phone rang.
But she still couldn't control herself.
The bitterness in her heart continued to spread as her blood flowed, and finally submerged her completely...
When they were dating, Pei Yucheng set her mobile phone number and her nickname on various social apps to her name, including her given name and surname. Once, she accidentally glanced at it and immediately became unhappy. She questioned Pei Yucheng for not setting her a nickname that showed off her unique identity as a girlfriend. However, Pei Yucheng didn't care at all and just said coldly: "It's just a nickname. No matter how I set it, it can't change the fact that you are my girlfriend."
Hearing this, she instantly became even more furious. When two people are in love, don't they always pay special attention to the nicknames they choose for each other?! The more intimate they are, the more in love they are.
Ji Yuqi was upset. Pei Yucheng had no choice but to take his phone and change the names one by one in front of her to: Xiaoqi.
Although Ji Yuqi was still very dissatisfied with this nickname at the time, he felt that Pei Yucheng was just like that. He was not good at sweet talk to please girls, and the name "Xiaoqi" should be his limit.
Ji Yuqi was happy for several days because Pei Yucheng changed his nickname.
She never knew that Pei Yucheng, who was cold and strict in his work, would also give others such a disgusting nickname.
Baby……
He actually called Ning Ruyan baby...
The call wasn't long.
Only about seven or eight seconds.
Pei Yucheng only said two sentences from beginning to end.
The first sentence: "What's wrong?"
Second sentence: "Address".
Then he hung up the phone.
The moment she hung up the phone again, she heard Pei Yucheng's cold command.
"Ji Yuqi, get out of the car."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The thick rain fog was floating in the air, reflecting the orange street lights. Between the sky and the earth, there was a vast white fog.
Ji Yuqi stood by the road, staring at Pei Yucheng in a daze.
"I'll send another driver to pick you up."
"No.
Ji Yuqi's words were still stuck in her throat when the black car whizzed past her impatiently.
