Chapter 122 Be More Reserved
Pei Jing's eyes would glance at her from time to time, and what was in his eyes was clear at a glance. Jiang Fei felt very upset after the meal. When the meal finally ended, Pei Jing was nowhere to be found.
Wei Ciying asked, "The prince hasn't been back for a long time. I wonder where he went."
Wei Mingzhen wished Pei Jing would leave sooner. That man's eyes were too presumptuous, looking at Jiang Rufei one moment and Wei Ciying the next. It would be best if he left.
"They must have left first. Let's go."
Wei Ciying was a little disappointed. She had made a special appointment with Pei Jing today, but was interrupted by Wei Mingzhen and Jiang Rufei.
The two of them sent Jiang Fei downstairs together, and the Jiang Mansion's carriage was parked in front of the door.
Jiang Fei stopped beside the carriage and said, "Thank you for the invitation today, Third Young Master. I will host you another day."
Wei Mingzhen always remembered that her monthly salary was limited, and treating her to a meal would probably take her a long time to save up, so she said, "The food in this restaurant is not as good as your cooking. If you have some free time someday, you can make a few side dishes."
Jiang Fei nodded, "Okay."
Wei Mingzhen stretched out his hand, Jiang Fei smiled at him, took his arm and got into the carriage. As soon as she lifted a corner of the curtain, her expression suddenly froze, and she immediately pressed the curtain tightly.
Noticing something strange, Wei Mingzhen asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay," Jiang Fei bent down and quickly got into the carriage, sticking her head out, "Then I'll leave first."
The carriage started moving along the long street.
Jiang Fei leaned against the side of the carriage with her arms folded, looking coldly at Pei Jing opposite her.
"What's wrong?" Pei Jing looked at her. "When you see Wei Mingzhen, you smile. When you see me, you look like you want to eat me."
"When did you come up?" Jiang Fei asked.
Pei Jing straightened his sleeves confidently and said, "It's not good to get in the carriage in front of them, lest Wei Mingzhen get angry to death. I'll come first."
"What are you doing in my carriage?"
"For you."
Jiang Fei took a breath and exhaled. Just as she was about to curse, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with the air. It was not so cool in her carriage.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the exterior was still her carriage, but the interior had changed a little, and a cold air was coming out from under the seat.
"Did you have someone do it?"
Pei Jing also crossed his arms like her, "Your carriage is like a furnace, how can anyone sit in it?"
Jiang Fei snorted coldly and suddenly leaned forward, "Pei Jing."
Pei Jing was startled by the face that suddenly enlarged in front of him, and tilted his head back slightly, "What, what?"
Without the courage to go crazy as before, he didn't dare to move even with the face in front of him, and even stuttered when he spoke.
Jiang Fei opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything, looking like she was performing a pantomime.
She wanted to say it more harshly, but was afraid of driving Pei Jing crazy. If she said it more gently, this man would probably think she was playing hard to get.
"Forget it." Jiang Fei sat back helplessly and closed her eyes.
I thought I might as well just stop talking to him and give him the cold shoulder. After a while, he'll definitely figure it out.
And today's situation was too out of control. She never expected Pei Jing to go crazy and directly attack her. It seems that in the future, when she wants to commit suicide, she must remember to do it when Pei Jing is not around, so as not to get herself into trouble.
Pei Jing looked at her leaning there with her eyes closed, his thoughts turning around several times in his mind.
She had just leaned in on purpose, was she trying to get me to kiss her? But I didn't do that, so she now deliberately closed her eyes.
The more Pei Jing analyzed it, the more it made sense to him, so he leaned over.
No, I can't just go along with her in everything, otherwise she'll rebel after she marries into the palace.
He sat back in his original position and said, "Xiao Cui, stop playing these tricks in front of me. If you have a request, just ask directly. Don't beat around the bush. I won't buy it."
Jiang Fei opened her eyes and asked, "So what did I ask?"
Pei Jing was a little nervous. "Don't make any excessive requests, like asking me to stay away from you. I won't agree to such requests."
Jiang Fei rolled her eyes, "Then why are you asking me to bring it up?"
"Except for this," Pei Jing said, "everything else can be discussed."
Jiang Fei shrank back, "Then... next time Wei Mingzhen and I meet, you are not allowed to disrupt the situation. You just said yes, you are not allowed to regret it."
Pei Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but you are not allowed to see him often."
The carriage drove into the alley where Jiang's family lived and stopped.
Just as Pei Jing was about to get off the car, Jiang Fei said, "Pei Jing, this isn't your first kiss, is it?"
Pei Jing almost fell out of the car.
"Jiang Rufei!" Pei Jing turned around abruptly, his ears turning red at a visible speed. "You...what nonsense are you talking about!"
Jiang Fei narrowed her eyes. "He's too skilled. This is definitely not his first time."
Pei Jing grabbed her wrist, his voice changing tone, "Who are you comparing me to? Wei Mingzhen?"
If it were before, Jiang Fei would have just gone ahead and said that Wei Mingzhen's kissing skills were a thousand times better than yours, but if she said that now, Pei Jing might have raped her right in the carriage.
"Can't I compare you to myself?"
Pei Jing's eyes moved slightly, as if he remembered her awkward look, and his ears turned even redder, "Jiang Rufei."
"ah?"
"You, could you be more reserved?"
Jiang Fei: “…”
Isn't she reserved enough?
She was so reserved that she hid away at the Jinglian Temple, yet she still ran into him. She was so reserved that she didn't go to see him at home, yet they bumped into each other again. How could she be so reserved? Should she bury herself in the ground?
"Don't overthink it. Okay, I'm leaving now." Pei Jing finished speaking, then remembered something and said, "I've found all the banknotes and put them under the cushion you were sitting on. Not a single one is missing."
After a while, the car continued to drive, but there was one less person in the car.
Arriving at Jiang's house, Jiang Fei put the silver in her pocket and got off the carriage. She looked back and saw Pei Jing's carriage still parked at the end of the alley, while a carriage from an unknown family had just left in front.
As soon as Jiang Fei stepped into the mansion, she ran into Jiang Rulin head-on.
As soon as the other party saw her, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Without saying hello to Jiang Rufei, he turned around and walked towards the mansion.
Jiang Fei stopped, looked at Jiang Rulin's back, and then turned back to look in the direction where the carriage disappeared.
She seemed to guess who was in the carriage.
…
The Zhou family's carriage had not gone far when it suddenly braked to a stop.
Zhou Ruolan rushed forward, and the maid quickly helped her steady herself and started cursing.
"Stupid thing! How do you drive? If you hurt the lady, can you bear the consequences?"
There was no response from outside the car.
Zhou Ruolan frowned and glanced at the curtain that the maid had just lifted. When she saw the man's face clearly, the expression on her face suddenly froze.
The space between the two horses faced the carriage opposite. Pei Jing was leaning against the inside of the carriage. His dark brocade robe made his skin look cold and pale, and his fingertips were playing with a string of snow-white beads.
"I was just looking for you, and you showed up at my door."
