Chapter 43
Shen Yizhi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said unhappily: "Is this a wish? Are you trying to curse me to have a nightmare?"
“…”
Pei Yanhe laughed angrily: "It's okay even if it's a nightmare."
Shen Yizhi put her hands on her hips and stared at him intently, "You are so evil."
She thought for a moment, "Under the shooting star of your zodiac sign, make a wish about me."
"Pei Shanshan, I didn't expect that I was so important to you."
Her playful tone was teasing, and her expression gradually became more intriguing.
Pei Yanhe supported his chin with his palm, his dark eyes fixed on her, and said softly.
"Uncle Shen's pigs are too stupid. I have to pay close attention to them."
"...Who are you calling a pig?!" Shen Yizhi heard the hidden meaning in his words and said angrily.
Pei Yanhe didn't say anything. He glanced at the disappearing meteor shower and said slowly, "It's getting late. You should go back to bed."
Shen Yizhi suddenly showed a smiling expression, "Uncle Pei's dog is afraid of the dark, I have to sleep with him."
Pei Yanhe said with a half-smile, "The one who's afraid of the dark isn't a dog, it's a pig."
Shen Yizhi: “I don’t care, Pei Xiaogou, you are just afraid of the dark!”
Pei Yanhe hadn't heard the nickname Pei Xiaogou for a long time.
When he was young, Shen Yizhi didn't like to call him by his full name, so he gave him this nickname. During that period, he called him by it every day.
"Okay, I'm afraid of the dark." Pei Yanhe tilted his head to look at her, "Then how about letting this dark-fearing Pei puppy take you home?"
The distance between the two lounge chairs is not far.
Shen Yizhi was itching to touch his hair because of this scene. The next second, he reached out and touched his soft hair.
"You're so good, Pei puppy."
Pei Yanhe blinked very slowly, stood up straight, his tone helpless yet doting.
"Let's go, Princess Shen."
A nice sentence, but it took on a different meaning in her ears.
"Pei Xiaogou, are you calling me Shen Boar?" Shen Yizhi followed him out, feeling that there was something wrong with his calling.
Pei Yanhe glanced at her and said, "You are guilty as a thief."
Shen Yizhi snorted lightly, "I think you are too scared to admit it after I exposed you."
"I advise you to be honest and behave yourself, otherwise I will be rude to you."
She clenched her five fingers into a fist and waved it in front of him, arrogant and proud like an elegant Mary cat.
Pei Yanhe stared into her overly beautiful eyes and laughed, "I know, Maomao Shen."
Shen Yizhi gave him a satisfied look, "In that case, Pei Xiaogou, remember to deliver the contract to me personally tomorrow."
Pei Yanhe echoed leisurely: "As you wish."
-
As far as he could remember, Pei Yanhe had never invested in an art exhibition in his personal field.
So when Secretary Qin received the task of drafting the contract, he was still a little confused.
It’s just that the professional ethics are there, and the contract was drafted as required and handed over to Pei Yanhe.
With dark circles under his eyes from a long night, he asked, "I've never seen you invest in a solo exhibition. Do you know this painter?"
Pei Yanhe sat lazily on the leather sofa, took the contract, glanced at it, and said "hmm" casually.
Secretary Qin suddenly recalled some rumors about this young master and immediately perked up a bit. "Could it be that childhood sweetheart who abandoned you to study abroad in England?"
Abandon him?
Pei Yanhe glanced at Qin Mi with a rebellious smile on his lips.
Secretary Qin didn't sense any danger at all and continued fearlessly, "I didn't even see you having a relationship during college. No way, Master Pei, are you having a secret crush?!"
Pei Yanhe's mouth curled up, "You like to hear rumors so much, but did the rumors tell you that you'll be unemployed tomorrow?"
Secretary Qin inexplicably felt a chill on his back. This young master's temper came on really quickly.
"What are you talking about? The atmosphere is so weird!" Chen Jinyang pushed open the door of the president's office and walked in naturally.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go get busy first." Secretary Qin found the right time and hurried out of the office. Chen Jinyang was afraid that if he came a second later, he would be scolded.
Chen Jinyang noticed Secretary Qin's hasty escape and joked, "Secretary Qin must have seen a ghost, running so fast."
"Maybe." Pei Yanhe looked at him expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?"
Chen Jinyang said casually, "I'm looking for you to play with. It's so boring for you to stay in the office and look at a bunch of numbers every day. Come with me to the mountains to relieve your boredom. Do you want to go?"
Pei Yanhe said nothing, looking at him with cold eyes.
Chen Jinyang's enthusiasm remained undiminished: "It's so hot in Kyoto in July, don't you plan to go to the village to escape the heat?"
In previous years, during the hot summer, several people in the circle would make an appointment to stay at Decheng Mountain Resort for a period of time. This was an unchanging rule.
"You go first, I'll come in two days." Pei Yanhe did not change his mind.
Chen Jinyang was puzzled for a moment, "Do you have something important to do?"
Pei Yanhe: "Bring someone along."
Someone who can be brought here personally by Young Master Pei?
Chen Jinyang guessed who it was in a split second, "Chen Yizhi?"
"I called her, and she asked me to take her with me on the day of the trip, so you don't have to worry about it." He added this in a 'heartwarming' manner.
I am not afraid of stupid people, I am afraid of stupid people who are also diligent.
Pei Yanhe's tone was ambiguous, and he asked in a very oppressive tone, "You go and pick it up?"
Chen Jinyang shuddered as he inexplicably sensed a dangerous aura. "I suddenly remembered that I had something else to do that day, so I probably won't be able to pick her up. It seems I'll have to ask someone else to do this."
He asked tentatively: "Pei Yanhe, if you had nothing to do that day, would you take Shen Yizhi with you?"
"Okay." Pei Yanhe lowered his head and flipped through the documents, agreeing happily.
“…”
I've never met such a weird person.
Chen Jinyang could no longer endure it. "What's wrong with you? Shang Kuoheng and I have both seen how special you are to Shen Yizhi."
"You don't plan to confess? Or do you plan to keep having a secret crush on me?"
In ordinary matters, he has never been seen to be timid and indecisive.
Pei Yanhe paused flipping through the papers, looked up at him, and spoke in an overly serious tone, "If I confess my feelings, I'm afraid we won't even be able to be friends."
Chen Jinyang didn't think the matter would become so serious. "Given your friendship with her for so many years, would you just break it off just because of something like this?"
"Pei Yanhe, things like feelings will only work out if you talk them out."
Just like flowers, you have to plant the seeds before they can take root and sprout.
Only by taking that step can there be deeper development.
Pei Yanhe's eyes were filled with ink-like thick liquid, "I dare not gamble."
If he takes one wrong step, his relationship with Shen Yizhi will come to an end.
In the venture capital and financial circles, this man who is calm and sober in strategizing, is also timid and unsure about something at this moment.
