Chapter 78 Fake Fall Becomes Real Fall
Pei Jingye slowed down his pace after hearing this, feeling nervous: This... This shouldn't be possible, right? It was obviously my second cousin and his sister-in-law who came to me to learn business, so how could my second cousin let his sister-in-law seduce me? This sounds really ridiculous!
However, Jingchuan's wife doesn't seem like a malicious person, but why does she speculate so much about Jingyuan's wife?
"Cousin, what are you going to do? I was just about to go find you to play chess, but I don't know if it's convenient for you?" At this time, Pei Jingchuan, who also heard Xu Qingyan's thoughts, turned around and called Pei Jingye.
Of course he couldn't just watch Pei Jingye being seduced by Xu Qingyue.
Pei Jingye was very conflicted. He frowned and said after a moment's silence, "Jingchuan, I'm afraid it's not convenient today. I've already made an appointment with someone else. Let's do it next time!"
He is not a man who goes back on his word, so he certainly wouldn't stand anyone up.
Hearing this, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but shook her head and sighed: [Ah... Pei Jingye is too upright! No wonder he was so infatuated with Xu Qingyue later and gave so much for her, but Xu Qingyue used him from beginning to end. Last time, he just had a good impression of Xu Qingyue. If he were to meet Xu Qingyue today, let me guess how Xu Qingyue would seduce him? Hmm! So she pretended to fall accidentally, and then put her arms around him and gave him a killing look? Or she would just fall into his arms and have an intimate contact? No matter what, there will definitely be some sparks between the two of them today! Poor Pei Jingye! He can't escape the fate of the second male lead after all! ]
Pei Jingye couldn't help swallowing his saliva in astonishment when he heard this. He couldn't believe what Xu Qingyan was saying. He was obviously a very disciplined person. He was just there to help Xu Qingyue with her business. How could these things happen? No! It definitely wouldn't happen! This must be Xu Qingyan's imagination!
So, Pei Jingye quickened his pace, not daring to listen to Xu Qingyan's complaints anymore, and left the Duke's Mansion quickly.
On the other side, Xu Qingyue had already dressed up in a delicate and beautiful manner, waiting for Pei Jingye's arrival in the shop. When Pei Jingye came to the shop, he saw the woman wearing a moon-white plain dress, with a light yet colorful makeup, which made Xu Qingyue look unworldly.
Suddenly, Pei Jingye's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little guilty: It must be said that Xu Qingyue's appearance really brightened his eyes! On weekdays, he had seen many ladies wearing gold and silver, and suddenly seeing such an elegant and refined dress would indeed attract his attention. He kept reminding himself that this was his sister-in-law, and he must not have any thoughts about her that he shouldn't have.
"Cousin, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you here for a long time." Xu Qingyue said softly with a smile on her face.
Pei Jingye said politely with a serious face: "I'm sorry, I was delayed by something just now. Can you tell me about the situation of your store first?"
"Cousin, take a rest first! Come! Have a cup of tea. It's so hot today, it must be very uncomfortable." Xu Qingyue smiled and poured another cup of tea and handed it to Pei Jingye without mentioning anything about business.
Pei Jingye had to politely take the teacup and take a sip. The taste instantly made his eyes light up. He couldn't help but lower his eyes to look at the tea in his cup. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be his favorite Yunding Maojian!
Xu Qingyue saw the joy in Pei Jingye's eyes, and a hint of pride flashed across her eyes. She pushed the cake on the table in front of him again. She continued with a smile: "And this cake, I just asked someone to go to Xifutang in the city to buy it. This cake is sweet and soft, and the taste is also very unique. You have to queue up every day to buy it."
Pei Jingye was surprised again when he heard this. He loved eating Xifutang's cakes since he was a child. How could Xu Qingyue know his preferences so accurately? If he hadn't heard Xu Qingyan's voice, he would definitely be very happy now, thinking that he and Xu Qingyue had similar temperaments, so they liked each other. But now, he had to be a little alert. Was this a coincidence or intentional? Did she want to seduce him?
Pei Jingye looked at the pastry and didn't dare to eat it. At this moment, he just felt that he should keep a distance from Xu Qingyue.
So, Pei Jingye put down the teacup, looked at Xu Qingyue seriously again and said, "If there is nothing else, let's start talking about business! I need to understand the situation of your store first, so that I can know how to help you solve this business problem."
Seeing that he was unwilling to try the cake, Xu Qingyue couldn't help but flashed a trace of disappointment in her eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take my cousin around the shop first and introduce my shop to you."
"Okay!" Pei Jingye finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.
"Cousin, our shop mainly deals in silk and fabrics, and the people who come here are basically daughters from official families..." Xu Qingyue walked in front and began to slowly introduce the situation of the shop to Pei Jingye.
Pei Jingye followed behind Xu Qingyue and listened very carefully. He also checked on the silk and cloth in the shop from time to time.
Pei Jingye listened carefully, without any distractions, thinking only about the advantages and disadvantages of the store and how to improve its current situation to make its business better. So he did not notice that when he followed Xu Qingyue up the stairs, Xu Qingyue deliberately stepped on the edge of the stairs and then twisted her body suddenly.
"Ah!" Xu Qingyue screamed.
Pei Jingye came to his senses almost subconsciously, and then he saw Xu Qingyue in front of him falling backwards. He instinctively reached out to hug her.
When their eyes met, his eyes were filled with Hua Yan, but his almond-shaped eyes were filled with his own Xu Qingyue.
Pei Jingye couldn't help but breathe quickly, his cheeks quickly turned red, and he thought: What am I doing? Didn't we agree that Xu Qingyue should keep her distance?
Pei Jingye was so scared that he quickly let go. At this moment, he completely forgot that they were standing on these stairs.
"Ah!" Xu Qingyue screamed again. This time, she actually fell down the stairs.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingye lowered his head in horror, only to realize that he had made a big mistake by letting go of Xu Qingyue and letting her fall down the stairs.
Xu Qingyue was in so much pain that she felt like all the bones in her body were broken. Her original plan was to let Pei Jingye hug her, look at each other, and let him have feelings for her. But what she didn't expect was that Pei Jingye would let go after hugging her! Now, she was in so much pain that she couldn't say a word.
"Someone! Go get a doctor!" Pei Jingye hurried down the stairs and looked at Xu Qingyue who was lying on the ground and about to faint from the pain. He didn't dare to reach out to touch her.
The maid beside her reached out to help Xu Qingyue up, but as soon as her hand touched Xu Qingyue, she screamed in pain again.
After a long while, the doctor came hurriedly.
"Madam, this is a broken bone! Your waist is severely sprained and your leg is broken. I'm afraid you'll have to stay in bed for at least half a month. Let's call a few people to lift Madam to the bed so I can set her bones." After the doctor came, he squatted on the ground and examined Xu Qingyue.
