At 7 p.m., Pei Siyu brought Mingyao to the Pei family's old residence.
Unlike the quiet first time I visited, the Pei family home was unusually lively today.
Guests arrived in a steady stream, creating a lively atmosphere.
Pei Siyu and Mingyao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of most people present.
Most of the guests present were members of the Pei family, and many of them were seeing Mingyao for the first time.
This was also Mingyao's first time attending a banquet held by the Pei family with Pei Siyu, so she was inevitably nervous.
Pei Siyu held her hand tightly and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't be afraid."
Once indoors, Mingyao took off her down jacket.
Countless eyes immediately focused on Mingyao. She was like a flame walking in the banquet hall, sexy and hot yet lacking in elegance.
The male guests present, in particular, seemed to have their eyes glued to Mingyao.
Pei Siyu put his arm around Mingyao's waist, subtly asserting his ownership.
The nanny approached and said, "Mr. Pei, the old man wants to see you."
Pei Siyu nodded and whispered in Mingyao's ear, "Wait for me to come back."
Mingyao sat in an inconspicuous corner, wanting to wait quietly for Pei Siyu to return.
However, she forgot.
Even when she hid in a dark corner, her bright, sexy red dress and radiant white skin made her impossible to ignore.
Within just five minutes, quite a few men came up to chat her up.
Mingyao directly showed off the ring, but some men still wouldn't give up until someone mentioned Pei Siyu, at which point the man left with a regretful look.
Feeling a bit hungry, Mingyao set her sights on the various cream cakes that the waiter was pushing out.
She used to dislike cakes the most, thinking all cakes were sickeningly sweet.
Seeing these today, she felt an unprecedented urge to eat them.
Mingyao took one first, took a small bite, and the slightly sweet cream melted in her mouth, while the cake base inside was soft, chewy, and sweet.
Mingyao seemed to have discovered a new continent, and quickly eliminated three or four of them.
In her past life, she didn't realize she liked cake when she was pregnant, but she really loved very sweet pastries.
The waiter brought over different fruit cakes, and Mingyao, with a hearty appetite, took two or three fruit cakes, as well as several different flavored mousses.
As she was about to turn around with the plate in her hand, a woman bumped into her.
The woman poured all the champagne she was holding onto Mingyao.
The wine quickly stained a large, deep red patch on her red dress. The woman was shocked and hurriedly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
"I was chatting with my friend and didn't notice you."
The woman apologized very sincerely and even took a wet wipe to help her clean up.
Mingyao kept saying it was okay: "I'll go to the bathroom and take care of it myself."
The woman frowned, her peach blossom eyes, which had been brimming with affection, turned crimson, and she looked aggrieved, on the verge of tears: "Are you really okay?"
Mingyao waved her hand, but couldn't help glancing at the woman a few more times.
The woman's face was an oval shape full of collagen, with curved eyebrows without sharp angles, and even her captivating peach blossom eyes were round.
Compared to her female companion, the woman had a fuller figure and more radiant, moist skin, resembling a plump and juicy peach.
Especially when she smiles, her eyes sparkle, and she exudes a warm and approachable charm that makes people want to get close to her.
Mingyao felt a sense of resistance; she didn't like this woman.
The woman appeared harmless, but her eyes revealed a cunning that seemed out of place with her personality.
Her aura made Mingyao feel uncomfortable all over, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
Mingyao went to the bathroom alone. The champagne-soaked clothes made the fabric sticky and uncomfortable against her skin.
Even if it's dry, you can still see the traces of alcohol.
This dress is ruined.
After fiddling with it for a long time, Mingyao finally gave up and called Pei Siyu.
"Okay, wait in the bathroom for fifteen minutes."
"The assistant will deliver the clothes."
Less than fifteen minutes later, Zhang Peng's voice came from outside the door: "Miss Su."
Mingyao looked at the long dress made of only a few thin straps and two ounces of fabric, and her lips twitched: "This... are you sure Pei Siyu sent you to deliver this?"
Zhang Peng replied truthfully, "That's right."
Mingyao was very puzzled.
Having been with Pei Siyu for two lifetimes, how come I never noticed before that he liked sexy dresses so much?
Mingyao had no choice but to change.
This dress is dark green, not as form-fitting as the red dress, but the back is completely exposed.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Mingyao always felt a chilly wind blowing down her lower back.
Mingyao asked Zhang Peng for a shawl and wrapped it around her body as she came out of the bathroom.
Where is Pei Siyu now?
"Still by the old man's side."
Mingyao nodded; she didn't want to stay in the banquet hall alone without Pei Siyu.
This is a good opportunity to visit the old man.
On the way to the old man's bedroom, a door in the corridor was ajar.
Mingyao didn't pay much attention, but then she suddenly heard a woman's ambiguous moans coming from inside.
Mingyao felt a chill run down her spine, and her curiosity prompted her to glance at the half-open door out of the corner of her eye.
Do not look at what is improper! Do not listen to what is improper!
Mingyao suppressed her desire to pry into her privacy and quickened her pace as she walked past.
"Don't move."
The man's deep, magnetic voice made Mingyao stop in her tracks once again.
The woman said breathlessly, "Siyu, be gentle."
The suggestive conversation left Mingyao's mind blank, rendering her incapable of thinking.
Pei Siyu, who is known for his aversion to women, was actually in a room with a woman...
Mingyao's remaining rationality forced her to calm down, but her thoughts wandered uncontrollably.
Who else but Qin Jiaojiao could be the woman Pei Siyu would take the initiative to get close to?
