Chapter 144 Meeting



"Sister Su, didn't you have an appointment to come to Woye..."

Pei Zhao seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a serious expression, "Is your husband here?"

Mingyao coughed lightly, not answering Pei Zhao's question, but instead asking, "Who is Mr. Pei here to see?"

"My uncle."

“My uncle said he had something important to tell me and that I must come.”

"Sigh, I wanted to bring Sister Su, but if you didn't come, I didn't want to come either. My uncle forced me to come."

Mingyao coughed twice and then chuckled twice.

really.

Pei Siyu was the one who brought her to meet Pei Zhao!

What exactly is he planning?!

"Sister Su, let's go together."

“You go see your husband, I’ll go see my brother-in-law.”

How could I dare!

Mingyao immediately frowned, clutched her stomach, and pretended to be in pain, saying, "I suddenly feel unwell in my stomach. Why don't you go find your uncle first?"

Before Pei Zhao could speak again, Ming Yao slipped into the bathroom.

Pei Zhao was also in a hurry, so he left first.

Mingyao sat on the toilet, utterly despondent, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

She couldn't understand what Pei Siyu was thinking.

Mingyao held her phone, thought it over and over, gritted her teeth, and sent a message to Pei Siyu.

Mingyao: [Master Pei, my stomach isn't feeling well, you guys eat first.]

The message had barely been sent when Pei Zhao's message popped up: "I'm coming to pick you up."

Mingyao: "..."

No, no, no, wait five minutes.

It seems I have no choice but to have this meal today.

Mingyao spent a full five minutes mentally preparing herself before coming out of the bathroom.

With each step, Mingyao felt as if her legs were filled with lead.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

As they approached the restaurant, Mingyao suddenly realized something.

Why should she be afraid?

If Pei Siyu introduces her identity to Pei Zhao, she won't have to be afraid of Pei Zhao pursuing her.

Thinking this way, Mingyao felt much more at ease.

She walked to the dining table with a big smile, "Master Pei."

Pei Zhao was chatting with Pei Siyu when he saw Ming Yao. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened.

"Sister Su, how... how could you..."

Mingyao sat down naturally next to Pei Siyu and looked at Pei Zhao with a smile, "I have an appointment with Master Pei, which is why we were able to meet."

"ah?"

Pei Zhao looked at Pei Siyu, then at Ming Yao, and asked, "When did you two become so familiar?"

He stared at the two of them blankly for a long time, his face gradually darkening.

He looked at Pei Siyu seriously and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, you are already married. You should learn to keep yourself pure."

Pei Siyu: "???"

Mingyao: "???"

Pei Zhao looked at Ming Yao more seriously and asked, word by word, "Sister Su, my uncle is already married."

"When you are in contact with him, you must keep your distance."

Mingyao twitched her lips, unsure whether she should laugh or explain.

Is it possible that she is Pei Siyu's wife?

Mingyao glanced at Pei Siyu first, then picked up her glass and took a sip of juice.

Pei Siyu's taut lips curled into a smile. "Are you very familiar with Su Xueya?"

"Yes!"

Pei Zhao nodded, not denying it, "I also wanted to bring Sister Su to meet Uncle today."

"I've seen Sister Su's work ability; it's such a waste for her to work as a receptionist."

"Since you and Sister Su are familiar with each other, why not give her a promotion and a raise?"

"Our company cannot afford to waste any talent."

Mingyao coughed lightly, almost choking on the juice she had just drunk.

Pei Siyu naturally handed over a tissue and said softly, "Slow down."

Mingyao accepted it without hesitation and said, "Thank you."

She was wiping her mouth when she suddenly felt a burning gaze.

Pei Zhao stared intently at Ming Yao and Pei Siyu, his facial muscles tense, his expression stiff, giving off a sense of disillusionment.

"Sister Su, you and my uncle..."

Pei Zhao seemed to understand something, and a look of sudden realization crossed his face.

He looked at Pei Siyu with surprise and exclaimed, "Uncle, my sister-in-law is amazing!"

You've never been this considerate before!

Mingyao was speechless, wondering if Pei Zhao genuinely believed it or was simply deceiving her.

There was clearly something going on between her and Pei Siyu, but Pei Zhao stubbornly refused to think of anything inappropriate.

Pei Zhao leaned slightly towards Pei Siyu and asked earnestly, "Uncle, I'm getting more and more curious about my sister-in-law. Could you bring her to see me?"

Pei Siyu stared coldly at Pei Zhao, his stern face revealing no extra emotion.

He fiddled with his wine glass and asked casually, "And you?"

"I?"

Pei Zhao's face immediately scrunched up like a bitter gourd. "Don't even mention it, my mom keeps urging me to go on blind dates."

"But I already have someone I like, how could I possibly go on a blind date?"

Mingyao was startled and looked at Pei Siyu first.

Pei Siyu happened to be looking at her too, his narrow eyes filled with coldness, as deep and unfathomable as a bottomless pit.

Mingyao's heart jumped, and a chill ran down her spine.

She quickly averted her gaze, picked up her glass, and began to drink her juice to conceal her panic.

She kept praying in her heart, begging Pei Zhao not to reveal who he liked.

Pei Siyu swirled the red wine, narrowed his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Who do you like?"

"I like……"

Pei Zhao paused, glancing at Ming Yao out of the corner of his eye, his eyes now filled with a burning desire.

His mouth was slightly open, clearly about to say something.
