Pei Yunxi must have had such a volatile temper that all the disciples of Kunlun Mirror were terrified of her. When she was in a bad mood, no one dared to come and talk to her.
But Jing Zhe wasn't afraid, because she was his woman.
Women need to be coaxed; if that doesn't work, just nudge them. There's always a way.
Jing Zhe knocked on the door twice.
Who is it?
Pei Yunxi asked in a cold voice.
"Fourth Sister, it's me, open the door!"
Jing Zhe smiled.
"..."
Then there was a long silence in the room.
"Fourth Sister!"
"Not here!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe couldn't help but chuckle.
Pei Yunxi didn't want to talk to her, but she was too impatient and her emotions were easily expressed, so she blurted it out.
"Not here? Then who's talking?"
"No one's going to listen to you! You'd better leave now and go back to your wife!"
Pei Yunxi said angrily.
This time, Jing Zhe didn't say anything. She just pushed the door open; she hadn't locked it at all.
Pei Yunxi was standing by the bed, seemingly packing her things. When she saw Jing Zhe push the door open and enter, she was stunned for a moment, then became angry.
"Well, you're getting bolder and bolder. Now you dare to force your way into my room?"
Jing Zhe shook his head: "Fourth Sister, your door wasn't locked. I opened it with just a light touch. What kind of forced entry is that?"
"you--"
Pei Yunxi opened her mouth, seemingly unsure of what to say, and then closed it again.
Then, Pei Yunxi turned around and continued packing her things.
Jing Zhe closed the door first, then went over and saw a package on Pei Yunxi's bed, where she was putting clothes inside.
"Fourth Sister, what are you doing?"
What I do has nothing to do with you.
Pei Yunxi retorted.
"Of course they're related!"
Jing Zhe hugged Pei Yunxi from behind, holding her hands down so she couldn't move: "Fourth Sister said you'd be my woman, all your people are mine, so tell me, does that have anything to do with me?"
"Pah! How dare you say that!"
Pei Yunxi spat, "What did you say to me when you came back from Jinxi? Did you keep your word? Now you still say I'm your woman, don't you feel ashamed?"
At this point, Pei Yunxi became furious.
She did indeed overcome numerous psychological barriers and convince herself to be Jing Zhe's woman—of course, she also longed for it, perhaps this longing had sprouted when she was very young.
However, she was unwilling to accept this, because whether it was Zhu Xinning, Liu Jinghong, or Qingqiu, they all had a long period of time alone with Jing Zhe. But after she recognized Jing Zhe, he had Qingqiu, Mu Qingren, Wang Yingqiu, and Qiu Qianqian by his side, and she hardly had any time to spend alone with him.
Later, on her return trip from Jinxi, she finally managed to earn herself a few days off. Those few days were the happiest time she had experienced in the past ten years. Unfortunately, the happy time was too short, and during that period, her identity transitioned from his sister to his woman, so she felt it wasn't enough.
That led to the later agreement that Jing Zhe would come to Kunlun County to spend some time alone with her. She had already made all the plans, and once Jing Zhe arrived at Kunlun Mirror, all her inner conflicts were resolved.
She was more at ease with her new identity when she left with him to go to Jiangling and return to Jingzhou. But instead, she was met with Zhang Xiaoyu. How could she not be angry?
"Fourth Sister, aren't you angry because Xiaoyu came over?"
"Yes, that's right! So what?"
Pei Yunxi doesn't hide anything; that's not part of her personality.
"Didn't I already explain to Fourth Sister? Xiaoyu came with me purely for business. She even went to Ruzhou with me, and we're going to Jiangling next. You can't blame her!"
"..."
Hearing Jing Zhe defend Zhang Xiaoyu so fiercely in front of her, she wasn't initially angry with Zhang Xiaoyu, but now she started to feel jealous of her: "I don't blame her, I blame you!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe laughed and said, "Yes, blame me, don't blame Xiaoyu."
"Let me go!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yunxi became even more furious. She forcefully broke free from Jing Zhe's embrace and then continued to bend down and pack her things.
"Fourth Sister, why are you packing your things?"
"What are you doing? Let's go!"
Where to?
"Anywhere is fine with me!"
Pei Yunxi stuffed the last piece of clothing inside, then suddenly sat up straight and looked at Jing Zhe: "Are you coming with me or not?"
"To Jiangling?"
"Sure, as long as it's not in Kunlun County!"
"OK!"
"OK?"
Jing Zhe's answer caught Pei Yunxi off guard.
She had assumed that since Zhang Xiaoyu was also in Kunlun County and they had only been there for a day, Jing Zhe would never agree to anything. To her surprise, he agreed without even thinking about it.
"You really want to come to Jiangling with me?"
"Go ahead, why not? After we finish things in Jiangling, we'll go back to Jingzhou together!"
Jing Zhe smiled.
"Now?"
Yes, now.
"..."
Pei Yunxi thought for a moment, then her face fell: "You're not thinking of taking your little wife with you, are you?"
This was the only reason Pei Yunxi could think of, and the reason why Jing Zhe agreed to her so readily.
However, Jing Zhe shook his head: "Why bring her? I said I wanted to spend some time alone with Fourth Sister. How can we have that time if I bring Xiaoyu along?"
"..."
Pei Yunxi was secretly delighted, but still pursed her lips and said, "You've only been in Kunlun County for a day, and you're leaving soon. Are you closing your newspaper? And what about Wenxiangju and the winery? What will people say about you?"
"A career in government is valuable, but a good career is even more precious. But for my fourth sister's sake, I can give up both!"
Jing Zhe chuckled and said, "So, as long as Fourth Sister is happy, why should we care about anyone else?"
"Smooth-talking!"
Pei Yunxi chuckled and scolded, but she was secretly pleased. However, after calming down, she thought more deeply and said, "You can ignore the others, but you can't just ignore your little wife, can you?"
Jing Zhe waved his hand and said, "Since you said Fourth Sister is the most important, of course we don't need to worry about her?"
"real?"
Pei Yunxi was half-believing and half-doubting, but she felt extremely satisfied. She pouted and said, "Even if you think you don't need to care, she'll still get jealous and angry. She'll think I'm being petty as her older sister, and that I dragged you away as soon as I saw you!"
After saying that, he added, "Besides, perhaps because you're the president, everyone else has to listen to you, and even if they have opinions, they wouldn't dare to speak up—but you are carrying His Majesty's decree, and it wouldn't be good to just leave like this..."
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister!"
Jing Zhe laughed and said, "Now, whether it's Da'an Newspaper Office, Wenxiangju, or Zhangjia Winery, they've long been on the right track. Moreover, Prefect Chen has provided the venue, so even if I leave, Xiaoyu and Chen Jiannan can quickly open the branch!"
"..."
