The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very tense.
It's also very embarrassing.
Pei Li's face was filled with gloom.
Ai Fan was as calm as ever, and even took a sip of tea.
As for that strange interstellar merchant...
He was leaning his head on the sofa, looking at Pei Ji who suddenly broke in with interest.
The man was wearing the clothes of a desert dweller, with a white shirt open all the way to his chest, revealing his bronze skin.
His eyes were a rare amber color.
Her facial features are deep and she has a sharp beauty.
Pei Li cursed, "How dare you! Who let you in?! What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for me to invite you to a seat? Go wait at the door... Uh? Madam?"
Ai Fan suddenly pressed his wrist.
Ai Fan glanced at Pei Ji, whose face was gloomy, and said to the businessman next to him, "Excuse me, Mr. Ling, could you please go to the next room and wait for a moment?"
The strange businessman was very casual: "Of course."
He quickly stood up and walked towards the door with brisk steps.
The silver earrings swayed back and forth under the light, shining brightly.
When they passed by each other, he suddenly glanced at Pei Ji, with a smile on his face.
Pei Ji tilted his head slightly, his sharp gaze passing through the golden pupils.
At that moment, he suddenly smelled a strange smell, like many kinds of spices mixed together.
Pheromones?
But it's also very strange.
Pei Ji withdrew his gaze
It turned out to be an Omega.
After the businessman left, the butler Barry considerately closed the door.
Ai Fan's voice rang out: "Pei Ji, where is Chen Que?"
Pei Ji was slightly stunned: "He is at the venue."
Ai Fan sighed: "Why did you leave him again?"
Pei Li interrupted, "What kind of stupid thing can't he do?"
Pei Ji was furious: "How dare you say that to me?!"
Pei Li: "What does it have to do with me if you abandon your wife?"
Pei Ji: "Don't you know why I came?!"
Ai Fan said in a deep voice: "Shut up!"
Pei Ji and Pei Ji shut up at the same time.
Ai Fan took a deep breath, turned to his only son, and said slowly:
"Pei Ji."
"First of all, you shouldn't have left your Omega alone with unfamiliar guests during the banquet."
"Secondly, you shouldn't have barged in in front of the guests and called your father by his first name."
She looked at Pei Ji steadily: "Now, what are you going to do?"
Pei Ji swallowed subconsciously, glanced at Pei Li, who was smug because of his wife's support, lowered his head, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry."
Ai Fan nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Tell me, what do you want to see us about?"
Pei Ji raised his head and asked, "I want to ask what you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Ai Fan glanced at him, "Are you dissatisfied with the distribution of property, or do you mind that we gave the mineral business to Shen Que instead of you?"
Pei Ji gave his mother a strange look and said, "Chen is indeed my Omega. It makes no difference whether he is mine or his."
"But, mother, if you want to test him with the mineral business, there is no need to do so."
"No matter what his purpose is in coming to Baisha Star, whether it was instructed by the Queen or not, he is my Omega. I will be responsible for all his words and actions. I don't need you to test him for me."
Ai Fan frowned slightly, vaguely sensing something, and glanced at Pei Li.
The Lord of Baisha Star was concentrating on picking at the gem on his cane, as if he didn't hear anything.
Ai Fan pondered and said, "Shen Que taking over the ore business was the result of a joint discussion between your father and me. We just felt that he was more suitable, there was no other intention."
"No other meaning?"
Pei Ji sneered and pointed at Pei Li who was picking at the gem.
"Then why did this person come to my room in the early morning and go to great lengths to remind me that there was something fishy about Shen Que's injury? He came to Baisha Star to help the Queen regain control of Shajin?!"
Ai Fan looked at Pei Li seriously, "You said that?"
Two burning gazes fell on Pei Li at the same time.
The Lord of Baisha Star had to give up his ostrich-like behavior of picking out gems.
"Ah... Ang? Did I say that?"
Pei Ji: "Don't deny it, you old man!"
Pei Li was very panicked.
"Who's denying it?! What's wrong with me saying it?! My suspicions are not unreasonable! The fact that Shen Que was injured is already strange, and marrying her is even stranger!"
"The entire empire knows how much Carolina loves that little Omega. If she didn't have some ulterior motive, would she be willing to abandon him to our White Sand Planet?"
"What's the difference between this and those honey traps used by the ancient Earthlings?"
"Lord."
Ai Fan interrupted Pei Li coldly.
"Well... Madam, please tell me..."
Ai Fan took a deep breath:
"I don't think Carolina is stupid enough to abandon the first commander of the entire empire and send him to our White Sand Planet just for a production line that has already been agreed upon and has not had any problems for three hundred years..."
She spoke each word with emphasis.
"Seducing your son personally."
"I..." Pei Li's momentum weakened, "That's not what I meant..."
"Isn't that what you mean?"
Ai Fan's eyes were fixed on Pei Li sharply.
"No, no, no, ma'am..."
Pei Li shamelessly moved closer, took Ai Fan's hand, and continued to argue under her cold stare.
"Don't you know how ambitious that woman Carolina is? She often raises the corners of her mouth three pixels when she mentions our Baisha Planet. There are special snapshots of her on the Star Network! There must be a deep meaning behind this!"
