study.
"Sir, what are your orders?" The special assistant, having received the summons, bowed respectfully to Pei Siyu, who was sitting in an armchair.
"Bring the person on duty in the kitchen this afternoon." Pei Siyu's face was cold, his jawline almost without any softening, exuding an innate sharpness that commanded respect and made people subconsciously obey.
The assistant responded, "Yes."
Soon, a trembling middle-aged man was thrown in by a tall bodyguard. When he saw Pei Siyu, he was so frightened that he wet himself.
"Mr. Pei, I don't know, I really don't know! Miss Su insisted on going into the kitchen, and I couldn't stop her..."
Pei Siyu glanced at him disdainfully, his voice indifferent: "Throw him in the backyard."
Everyone knows that Pei Siyu keeps his pets in the backyard.
An albino Bengal tiger.
It is extremely aggressive; if you are thrown in, you will be severely injured even if you don't die.
The bodyguards immediately stepped forward and restrained the middle-aged man. Terrified, the man wailed and cried, "Master Pei! I was wrong! I'll tell you everything! It was Madam, Madam sent me! I was just annoyed and wanted to see that bitch suffer..."
As he spoke, he grabbed Pei Siyu's leg and begged for mercy.
"Ah!" Before the shoes even touched his trouser leg, he was stepped on by a dark leather shoe, as if a thousand pounds of steel were pressing down on him, and he screamed in agony.
"Drag it out." The man's words were concise yet chilling.
"Master Pei! Master Pei, I was wrong!"
The middle-aged man cried, his snot and tears mingling, his pleas for mercy fading into the distance.
The study returned to quiet.
The assistant looked remorseful: "Sir, I resign to take responsibility."
Recently, one accident after another has occurred. First, Pei Siyu was drugged on his wedding night, and now even people from the main house have infiltrated the kitchen of the mansion. If it weren't for today's little incident, who knows what unpredictable consequences might have occurred in the future.
This is all his responsibility.
Pei Siyu ignored him, his eyes fixed on the endless darkness outside the window. His pale face was reflected in the glass, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his face: "They've overreached."
The assistant immediately understood: "I'll clean up the mansion right away."
The rain outside the window is getting heavier; tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful.
The Pei family mansion was filled with unease.
Pei Siyu didn't return to his bedroom until late at night.
The door wasn't closed properly, and light was shining through.
His gaze suddenly sharpened.
The assistant immediately stepped in front of Pei Siyu.
However, when they opened the door, there was no ambush.
On the European-style palatial sofa beside the bed, the woman's almond-shaped eyes were closed, quiet and serene, but her slender and delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the snow-white blanket seemed about to fall off.
Pei Siyu's cold expression froze for a moment, then turned fierce.
The assistant was also immediately taken aback by the scene before him.
While he hesitated about whether to throw Mingyao out.
"No...don't take...Mom away..." Suddenly, the woman in her sleep let out a moan like a cat.
A cold glint flashed in Pei Siyu's eyes.
According to his investigation.
Su Qiqiang's first wife died long ago. Later, Su Qiqiang became rich overnight through land expropriation and moved to Haidu District, where he married his current wife.
Having heard the commotion long ago, Mingyao opened her eyes as if startled awake. Her long, flowing hair cascaded down, and her bright eyes were moist and sleepy, yet still undeniably beautiful.
"I...I've prepared the bathwater." When she saw Pei Siyu, she hurriedly stood up, but the moment she stood up, her legs, which hadn't moved for a long time, went weak, and she fell straight to the ground.
She couldn't help but gasp, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.
This was not part of her plan.
Mingyao closed her eyes resignedly, but the pain she had imagined did not come. The man raised his hand and supported her.
This time, she was genuinely stunned.
I never expected Pei Siyu to make a move...
After all, she had only just begun her conquest.
Mingyao looked up at him blankly.
The man's superior features seemed to show some surprise even in her dilated pupils.
The two were separated by only two thin layers of fabric, their skin touching, their posture intimate and ambiguous.
"Thank you..." Mingyao quickly calmed herself down, revealing a weak yet somewhat joyful expression. However, the arm supporting her suddenly pulled away the next second.
She fell heavily to the ground unexpectedly, but fortunately, the fall was cushioned and not too severe.
But I still bumped my elbow.
pain!
She ground down her back teeth.
That damn bastard!
She knew he wouldn't be so kind.
In her past life, she had gone to great lengths to earn his favor; how could she be so easily moved?
Mingyao swallowed her anger and lowered her head, pretending to be submissive. She tried to get up, but then collapsed to the ground. After doing this three times, she finally managed to stand up.
"I'm sorry..." She looked up again, her eyes red.
Pei Siyu stared at her sharply, as if trying to see right through her.
Mingyao forced herself to shed a few tears before he coldly said, "You don't need to do these things."
"I can do it," Mingyao said hastily, her demeanor not only defiant and obedient, but also revealing a pleading look in her almond-shaped eyes.
Even Pei Siyu couldn't help but be suspicious.
Why do people beg for bathwater?
She seemed to be begging him to let her do something.
This is further combined with her various behaviors that contradict the rumors.
Was it done under orders or intentionally...?
The man suddenly frowned, a hint of annoyance in his eyes: "Take her away."
The assistant was unsure of Pei Siyu's meaning for the first time.
"It's the backyard..." He was about to say the question, but before he could finish, he received Pei Siyu's icy gaze and immediately became serious, saying, "Miss Su, please go back to your room."
Mingyao's gaze trembled as she looked at Pei Siyu. She clenched her palm as if frustrated, then reluctantly let go.
