Chapter 206
Backstage dressing room.
Since Pei Yan was a male guest arranged temporarily, the program arranged for him to appear last.
The other male and female guests went to wait early, leaving only Xiao Taozhi and Pei Yan in the room.
After waiting for a while, little Taozhi nestled in Pei Yan's arms and fell asleep in a daze.
Suddenly.
The door was opened heavily with a bang.
Two people rushed in from outside, one was Wang the responsible person, and the other was a staff member on the scene.
She is a petite and delicate little girl named Zhao Jie.
She followed Wang Guanli timidly, letting him scold her, "Tell me what's wrong with you? The audience is in place, the show is about to start, and you're telling me you're not feeling well?
Don’t tell me about this kind of thing in the future. Even if your parents asked me to take care of you, can’t you handle it yourself at your age? Why do you insist on asking me to…”
When she turned around, she happened to meet Pei Yan's cold and frightening eyes.
Manager Wang was like a firecracker dropped into the water, and he suddenly became speechless.
“Pei…”
Wang Guanli was about to apologize to Pei Yan, but before he uttered a syllable, he saw the man slightly raise his clean index finger, put it in front of his thin lips, made a gesture of silence, and then pointed to his arms.
In the man's arms, there was a little baby sleeping soundly.
Hearing the noise, little Taozhi hummed twice unhappily and was about to wake up.
Wang Guanli immediately covered his mouth, his heart instantly lifted up and he couldn't help but worry.
What if he woke up this precious little ancestor, Boss Pei, and lost all his investment?!
Pei Yan patiently raised his hand, gently patted Xiao Taozhi's back, and coaxed him twice.
The little guy changed his posture and fell asleep again.
Wang Guanli breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice to instruct Wang Jie beside him, "Then you stay here and rest for a while. If you really can't make it, take a taxi to the hospital. The show will start filming soon, so I don't have time to take care of you. Also, stay here quietly and don't mess with that man. Do you understand?"
After saying that, Wang whispered a greeting to Pei Yan and left.
Zhao Jie walked to the seat where she had put her bag today, took out a tablet of ibuprofen from her bag, and drank it with her drink.
Today was her first time to come to work for an internship, but she happened to have her period and the pain was so severe that she could hardly stand.
She got this job thanks to her uncle Wang Ming's relationship, but to be honest, she and Wang Ming were not very close, and it was her grandmother who intervened to get this job.
The company where her parents worked recently had downsizing, and both her parents were laid off. She also had a younger sister to take care of at home, so her life was very difficult.
She borrowed money from this relative and that relative, and the neighbors who borrowed money from her would close their doors when they saw her family and look down on her family behind her back.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jie felt irritated and panicked.
Although Wang Ming repeatedly told her not to mess with the man on the other side of the room, out of curiosity, Zhao Jie glanced over there while drinking water.
He is an extremely charming man!
Exquisite face, deep eyes.
Even if he did nothing and just sat there, he exuded a sense of nobility in his bones, consciously or unconsciously, just like the playboy in the play.
In addition to his meticulous suit, Zhao Jie also noticed the watch on his wrist.
People in this era use optical magnetic rings, and few people wear watches. If they do, they just use them as decorations.
The one Pei Yan was wearing looked very valuable, but I didn't know if it was a fake.
But judging from her uncle's attitude towards that man, that man must be a real rich young man.
But Zhao Jie didn't understand. Such a high-quality man should have no shortage of women around him, so why would he come to a place like this to find a partner?
Bring the kids along!
No matter how you look at it, it's weird.
Suddenly.
An idea popped into Zhao Jie's mind.
But if she could hook up with such a man, wouldn't all the troubles at work and at home be easily solved?
Look how her relatives still look down on her for being poor!
Zhao Jie was secretly watching, but Pei Yan suddenly raised his eyelids alertly, looked at her fixedly, and caught her in the act.
Zhao Jie felt flustered.
Obviously, the man's peach blossom eyes were so beautiful, but at this moment, they were filled with a pool of dead air, so cold that it made people's scalps numb.
It seemed as if the gentle dad who had just coaxed the child to sleep in his arms was not the same person at all.
Her lips, which had regained some color, moved twice and she was about to explain.
But the man turned his head nonchalantly and looked at the little guy in his arms with a frown.
The moment his eyes met Xiao Taozhi, the sharpness in his eyes instantly disappeared, leaving only gentle tenderness like water.
Xiao Taozhi was not very sleepy to begin with, so she just slept for a short while before waking up.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and woke up. Her little voice was still nasal and sounded soft and like a spoiled child: "Daddy, is it your turn to go on stage?"
A faint smile escaped Pei Yan's beautifully shaped thin lips.
He raised his hand to check the time and replied, "Soon."
“Oh~”
Little Taozhi yawned, and his big deer eyes opened completely. He even spun around twice, then looked up at Pei Yan, "Daddy, Zhizhi is thirsty. I want to drink some water."
"Want some water?"
Pei Yan carried Xiao Taozhi to sit on the sofa, then stood up and looked around the room.
Suddenly.
A slender hand suddenly appeared in my sight.
"This is unopened. If that little sister needs it, you can give it to her to drink."
Zhao Jie saw everything Pei Yan and Xiao Taozhi did.
Pei Yan glanced at the honey grapefruit water in Zhao Jie's hand and refused distantly: "Thank you, but no, my child can drink this."
He took out a bottle of mineral water from the box, paused, and said, "If you're not feeling well, it's better to drink some hot water."
Despite being rejected so directly, Zhao Jie didn't feel embarrassed and didn't even have the slightest thought of giving up.
Instead, she was even more attracted by the man's thoughtfulness and attentiveness, and became more determined to win the man in front of her.
She walked over deliberately and spoke to Pei Yan: "Is this... your daughter?"
Pei Yan took a tissue and carefully wiped the water stains from Xiao Taozhi's mouth.
Out of politeness, he replied calmly, "Yeah."
Seeing Pei Yan was willing to pay attention to her, Zhao Jie seemed greatly encouraged and continued, "Your daughter is so cute! I also have a sister who is about the same age as this little sister. We can let the two children play together if there is a chance."
Xiao Taozhi chuckled when she heard this: "Thank you for the compliment, sister."
Although Zhao Jie was very happy to be called sister, she didn't want to give Pei Yan the impression that they were of a different generation.
[Sheep has something important to say~]
Dear fairies, I have two plans for this book right now. One is to finish the book after writing the story between Xiao Taozhi and the five fathers, and leave the emotional line between brother Ji Sui and Xiao Taozhi to the extra chapter, which is expected to be 10,000 to 20,000 words long; the other is to put it directly into the main text, so that there will be relatively more roles.
You can leave me a message under this sentence, or go to the comment section to tell me whether to choose one or two. I will choose one of the two based on everyone's opinions.
