21. Attend a banquet
Pei Xu felt happy that he could finally have lunch with Shi Mo.
During the meal, he didn't dare to persuade Shi Mo to eat more, for fear of triggering his rebellious psychology.
I could only use chopsticks to pick up food for her, trying to get her to eat more this way.
Shi Mo lowered his head while eating, his eyes never leaving the phone screen.
Typing with one hand is also very fast.
[Shi Mo]: Don’t wait for me, I’m already eating.
[Chen Zhou]: You’re eating behind my back again. What did you eat?
[Chen Zhou]: The food in the cafeteria here is really delicious. You should go there to eat when you have time.
Shi Mo replied with an OK emoticon and was about to type when his phone was snatched away.
"Let's play after eating." When Pei Xu saw that she was chatting with Chen Zhou, jealousy began to grow in his heart again.
After turning off the phone and putting it aside, Pei Xu put a few more pieces of meat into her bowl.
While eating, Lin Zhile came and knocked on the door with the processed documents in his arms.
After knocking three times without receiving a response from inside, Lin Zhile put his hand on the doorknob and shouted, "I'm coming in."
When he opened the door, he saw Pei Xu picking up some food for Shi Mo.
He said in a coaxing voice, "This is delicious, eat more."
What he put into Shimo's bowl was her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.
When Lin Zhile saw this scene, he was stunned. He didn't expect that Pei Xu, who was always aloof, would show such an expression to someone.
He looked so cautious, as if he was afraid that the other person would get angry.
She looked at Shi Mo, her eyes full of jealousy.
This woman had only been here for two days, and she had already asked Director Pei to do this for her.
What a good trick.
She controlled her emotions, then walked over to Pei Xu and said with a professional fake smile on her face, "Mr. Pei, here is an important document that I need your review."
Pei Xu was in a very bad mood after being interrupted, and his eyes changed when he looked at Lin Zhike.
His cold gaze fell on the other person, and his voice became ruthless.
"It's break time now. What you should do now is not to give me the documents, but to go eat and rest."
"Get out of the office now."
Lin Zhile pouted in dissatisfaction after being bullied. Finally, he asked, "Then why is she here too?"
"Miss Shi is still eating at the same table with you, why are you asking me to get out?"
After she asked this question, Pei Xu's face became even uglier. She, a mere secretary, dared to question him.
"It's not your turn as a secretary to question here." Pei Xu's tone was already filled with impatience.
Shi Mo raised his eyes at this time and looked at her with a faint smile on his face.
Then he put a piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Pei Xu, who was sitting next to her, immediately put a piece of food into her bowl, determined not to leave her bowl empty.
Lin Zhile watched this scene and tightened his grip on the document.
Finally, Lin Zhile put the documents aside, then turned around with a dark face and was about to walk out of the office.
But who knew that at this moment Shi Mo slowly said, "Your employees really can just barge into your office so casually."
"There are no rules at all."
After she finished speaking, Pei Xu responded, "I understand. This won't happen again next time."
After leaving the office, the jealousy in Lin Zhile's eyes was obvious.
That bitch is actually so spoiled by Mr. Pei.
He even picked up food for her himself.
Oh.
No rules?
In all the years she has worked at Jiahe, this is the first time someone has spoken to her like this.
Lin Zhile couldn't swallow this anger if she didn't.
This little incident did not disturb the two of them. Pei Xu picked at the food in the bowl. After chewing and swallowing, he slowly said, "Come with me to the banquet tonight."
"No." Shi Mo refused directly.
If she attended that kind of banquet, she would attend as Pei Xu's female companion, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him at all.
"Go ahead. You'll be going to that kind of occasion quite often in the future, so get used to it in advance." Pei Xu continued, but his tone was unquestionable.
"I've already contacted the makeup artist and will take you there this afternoon for styling."
This doesn't give the other party any chance to refuse.
Shi Mo looked at him and continued, "I said, I'm not going."
"I heard you." Pei Xu responded, but he continued to do what he wanted. "What kind of skirt do you like?"
"Is it white, black, or red?"
"There's a new dress that looks pretty good recently. It's blue."
Shi Mo looked at him and raised his voice even higher.
"I told you I'm not going. Are you deaf or are you pretending not to hear?"
Pei Xu reached out and grabbed her wrist, staring at her seriously with his dark eyes, and said, "I know, but as someone I own, you can't avoid attending such occasions in the future."
"I am not yours, and I can never be yours." Shi Mo raised his voice, with anger in his voice.
"I belong only to myself."
Pei Xu didn't want to argue with her, so he shut up and ate seriously, but his attitude showed that he was not willing to back down at all.
"Please respect my wishes, Mr. Pei." Shi Mo said in a cold voice, and his eyes looking at him became even colder.
Pei Xu had never learned to respect others before, and he couldn't learn it now.
The five years since Shi Mo left made him even more stubborn and paranoid.
He just wants Shi Mo to participate in his life, not only that, he also wants to participate in Shi Mo's life.
From then on, the two of them became inseparable.
"Go and feel it first. If you don't like it, don't go next time." Pei Xu said to her with a chuckle.
It was just a simple sentence, but it made Shi Mo feel suffocated like never before.
It was as if she was back to that time five years ago. She hated being locked up in the Red Maple Garden and wanted to do what she liked.
But Pei Xu didn't let her go out and even chained her to the bed.
In just one month, Shi Mo felt like a bird trapped in a cage.
Having wings but unable to fly.
"Why won't you respect my wishes?" Shi Mo's voice became choked.
She didn't know what she had done to make Pei Xu treat her like this.
"You're really annoying."
Although Shi Mo expressed his unwillingness to attend the banquet, Pei Xu still pulled him to get his hair done when the time came.
After that, he took her to the car and went to Jiang's house.
Shi Mo had a dark face the whole time, as if everyone owed her millions.
The lights outside the Jiang family's house were bright and bustling, with luxury cars parked there one after another.
It can be seen that more than half of the people in Jiangcheng have come here.
Although the Jiang family has been on the decline in recent years, Mr. Jiang's former majesty still remains.
In order to curry favor with the Jiang family, some small families brought their daughters here early on.
I heard that the second young master of the Jiang family is not married yet.
