Chapter 132 Is it all my fault?
That very evening, after returning home from the Chamber of Commerce meeting, Pei Wu had just finished writing some summaries on her laptop when her phone notified her of a bank transfer of 100,000 yuan. As she tried to recall where the money came from, a text message arrived: "[Compensation payment. Tell Lu Xiwen to stop harassing me.]"
Pei Wu realized it was Lu Ye.
This person left forty minutes earlier than Lu Xiwen, but just like the saying goes, you can run away but you can't hide, he couldn't block Lu Xiwen, so he could only endure Lu Xiwen's various textual taunts.
Pei Wu accepted the compensation with pleasure while diligently typing: 【Under the established facts, what Lu Xiwen did was not considered harassment.】
Lu Ye: "..."
Lu Ye resisted the urge to smash his phone, but when he saw another text message from Lu Xiwen, he immediately turned off the screen and closed his eyes.
Lu Xiwen came in from the balcony ten minutes later, seemingly having finished his tirade.
"Lu Ye gave me 100,000 yuan in compensation."
"Take it." Lu Xi heard this and said with a disdainful tone, "You're so stingy."
Pei Wu felt that Lu Changning's offer of 100,000 yuan in compensation for a single sentence wasn't stingy.
Lu Xiwen raised his hand, and the phone was accurately thrown under the pillow. The tall Alpha suddenly changed his aura, knelt on one knee on the bed, and leaned down.
Having nowhere to hide, Pei Wu simply met his gaze directly: "What are you doing?"
“Not last night…” Lu Xiwen said, sounding a little aggrieved.
Pei Wu: "Just last night..."
Lu Xiwen quickly leaned in and gave him a light peck on the lips.
"you……"
one time.
"how……"
Two times.
Pei Wu dared not move. Turning her head, she saw that Tuanzi had appeared at some point and, influenced by its owner's mood, was fawning and acting cute on the ground.
Pei Wu: "..."
Pei Wu's ears turned suspiciously red. As she took off her glasses, she nudged Lu Xiwen's chest and said, "Go take a shower."
Lu Xiwen jumped up at lightning speed and swept into the bathroom like a hurricane.
Pei Wu raised his hand and touched the feverish gland. In fact, he had softened as soon as Lu Xiwen uttered those aggrieved words.
Is it a special fetish to enjoy watching your own Alpha act pitiful?
The result of this indulgence was that even though Lu Xiwen's back was practically a cat scratching board, and he was scratching so hard that it looked like shavings, he still made a racket until dawn.
Pei Wu felt unsteady on his feet and insisted on going to the company, oblivious to the scenery and people he passed along the way. He forced himself to hand over a USB drive containing important data to Lan Zhe with the same solemnity as handing over a torch of life, wanting to discuss something, but his mind completely went blank.
Lan Zhe said sincerely, "Why don't you take a nap?"
Pei Wu waved weakly and turned to enter the cubicle.
Lu Xiwen felt guilty and ashamed as his own assistant stared at him with accusatory eyes.
"President Lu," Lan Zhe said solemnly, "Assistant Pei is an Omega; you must respect his career!"
“I respect that!” Lu Xiwen argued firmly. “Is it all my fault that I couldn’t control my love for him?!”
Lan Zhe: "..."
Until the meeting began, Lan Zhe refused to give his immediate supervisor a friendly look.
The senior executives who were nearby were trembling with fear, calculating how much chance they had of escaping if a fight broke out between the top and the higher-ups. The atmosphere at the meeting was much more somber than usual, but surprisingly, President Lu was unusually easy to talk to.
As they were leaving, everyone overheard Mr. Lu saying to his assistant, "Please cut steaks for a week, don't just leave them there looking sullen."
Pei Wu slept until it was time to get off work.
The feeling of having his days and nights reversed was not pleasant. He lay on his side on the bed, watching the night sky gradually descend outside the window, watching the sunset still lingering, struggling to leave behind its afterimage.
Pei Wu was regretting agreeing last night.
Lu Xiwen was a man who would dare to act recklessly if he was only slightly swayed by others, and if he was truly swayed by others, he could ignore all warnings and become completely immersed in his own world.
The door was pushed open, and without thinking, Pei Wu threw a cushion at it, but she was clearly outmatched and the cushion hit the wrong spot. Lu Xiwen managed to catch it by turning to the side.
Lu Xiwen approached with a grin, clutching a cushion: "I bought your favorite xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), caviar shrimp dumplings, and the lean meat porridge is all made with wild black mountain pork. Get up and have a taste."
After listening for a couple of sentences, Pei Wu's stomach started growling uncontrollably.
He stretched out a hand from under the covers, looking like he wanted to be waited on hand and foot. Lu Xiwen, the head of Changrong and a top-tier Alpha who could dismantle an opponent with a single punch in a fight, stepped forward in a few steps and gently and considerately helped Pei Wu up, saying nice things as soon as he opened his mouth: "I was wrong last night. Lan Zhe has already given me a stern reprimand. You've worked hard these past few days. I'll take you to Jiguang Island tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Pei Wu exclaimed in surprise, "So soon?"
“Actually, construction has been underway for a while now. The natural scenery there is already exceptional. If Mr. Zhang builds his unique hotel there, it will be as beautiful as a paradise. I don’t plan to open it to the public for the next two years. We can have a good rest for a week.”
Pei Wu didn't refuse the arrangement; it was perfect timing to come back and celebrate Lu Xiwen's birthday.
Pei Wu ate something before feeling her strength return.
They were in a small group, and soon the doorbell rang.
Everyone wanted to come, but their schedules couldn't all be aligned. Lu Xiwen told them to make themselves at their own pace, and he and Pei Wu went ahead first.
Mr. Lu was a man of action. At seven o'clock the next morning, he quickly washed up after opening his eyes, went outside for a three-kilometer jog, and waited until he came back, took a shower, and had breakfast before Pei Wu came upstairs.
Omega was dressed casually, wearing dark gray jeans and a thin white sweater, with her hair loose, and she was looking down at her watch.
Pei Wu hadn't dressed like this in a long time, especially after joining Changrong. Suits were practically welded to his body, and he would dress very formally for occasional gatherings and outings.
Lu Xiwen stared intently. Although he criticized Ruan Hanyan for having psychological problems and acting despicably, he had to admit that Ruan Hanyan had good judgment. Could Pei Wu, whom he met on campus back then, be the same?
Just thinking about it made Lu Xiwen's heart melt.
Pei Wu didn't need to walk the last two steps himself; Lu Xiwen waited at the bottom of the stairs and reached out to help him down.
Pei Wu stared at his face for a moment, and after not detecting any lust, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Are we leaving soon?" Pei Wu patted Alpha's shoulder, signaling him to put himself down first.
"Okay, I'll wait until you finish eating," Lu Xiwen said. "Luckily, they don't have time. Today is just the two of us."
Pei Wu thought to herself, "When have we ever lacked time together?" No matter how busy Lu Xiwen was, he would always treat himself to something special, like squeezing a sponge.
Jiguang Island is not far from here, about a half-hour drive and a fifty-minute flight. It is an isolated island in the northeast of Honghai.
It had just rained here, and the rainbow overhead was exceptionally vibrant. The misty air added a touch of dreaminess to Jiguang Island.
As soon as the plane landed, Lu Xiwen jumped off cleanly, then turned around and let Pei Wu help him down by the shoulder.
