For some reason, he felt a dull ache in his heart, a strange feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on.
“Yes.” Pei Zhao was worried about Ming Yao’s health and didn’t notice Pei Siyu’s unusual behavior. “Uncle, let’s not talk about it now.”
He knelt on one knee, his back to Mingyao, and said, "Su Xueya, you come up first."
When Pei Zhao made a move to carry her on his back, Ming Yao was so frightened that she almost called him "Little Ancestor".
Ignorance is no excuse, so she could only pray that Pei Zhao would leave quickly and not add fuel to the fire of the misunderstanding between her and Pei Siyu.
"Mr. Pei, no, it's not necessary." Mingyao was so frightened that she trembled and couldn't even utter a coherent sentence. She leaned against the wall and took two steps. "I'll be fine after resting for a while."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Pei and Mr. Pei."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Siyu strode towards her. Mingyao froze on the spot, "President Pei."
Before she could react, her body was suddenly lifted into the air, and Mingyao's heart stopped beating in fright.
The feeling of weightlessness made her instinctively reach for anything she could hold onto.
When she came to her senses, her arms were already wrapped around Pei Siyu's neck.
Mingyao raised her eyes, her flustered gaze meeting Pei Siyu's deep, dark pupils, which were like a black pool.
His eyes were dark and shiny, just like obsidian.
The two were extremely close, so close that Mingyao could see Pei Siyu's raven-feather-like eyelashes and her own reflection in his pupils.
In that instant, Mingyao forgot to breathe, forgot her heartbeat, and even forgot the passage of time.
"I took her to the hospital."
Pei Siyu's lips moved, and a few magnetic words abruptly pulled Mingyao back from her chaotic thoughts.
He swiftly avoided his cold gaze, swallowing his words, "This, this isn't quite right."
"President Pei, I can do it myself."
Her voice grew softer and softer, sounding like a kitten's whimper.
Pei Siyu ignored her words and strode towards the elevator with cold, aloof steps.
Pei Zhao stared blankly at the two figures as they walked away, standing there dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Pei Siyu, who has always been indifferent to women, actually carried Mingyao to the hospital!
It all felt so unreal, like a dream. Pei Zhao pinched the flesh on his cheek.
"Hiss~" He took a breath, rubbed his cheek, which hurt a little, so it seemed he wasn't dreaming.
Could it be that my uncle's iron tree has blossomed?
Pei Zhao was overjoyed, but the next second, his face fell. "You promised you wouldn't let me touch the woman I was going to marry, how come he's the one who's touched her?"
Could it be that Pei Siyu has avoided women all these years because he prefers married women?
Unfortunately, the woman he married was Mingyao.
Recalling the image of Pei Siyu carrying Mingyao away, Pei Zhao felt an increasing heaviness in his chest.
Inside the elevator, Mingyao cautiously glanced at Pei Siyu's cold face out of the corner of her eye. "Mr. Pei, you should put me down."
"My colleagues are all in Woye. It wouldn't be good if they saw us." She leaned against Pei Siyu's chest and said weakly, "I'm fine now."
Pei Siyu glanced at her coldly, but instead of letting go, he hugged her even tighter.
Mingyao's face suddenly pressed against Pei Siyu's chest, the crisp scent of pine filling her nostrils. Her breath caught in her throat, her pupils contracted slightly, and her lips pressed into a thin line.
Pei Siyu's chest rose and fell slightly, his regular and rhythmic heartbeat like drumbeats striking her eardrums.
Mingyao nestled in Pei Siyu's arms, a smile playing in her eyes.
His embrace was not as cold as he appeared; instead, it was warm and comforting, which inexplicably put Mingyao at ease.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened.
Standing in front of the elevator, Zhou Shuya was taken aback when she saw Pei Siyu inside. "President Pei."
Her eyes suddenly lit up with a bright light, and the corners of her lips that had just turned up froze instantly when she saw Mingyao nestled in Pei Siyu's arms.
"Su Xueya?" Zhou Shuya forced a smile. "How could President Pei be with her..."
When Mingyao saw Zhou Shuya, she instinctively tried to hide, but noticing her stiff smile, she felt inexplicably pleased.
Zhou Shuya has had a crush on Pei Siyu for so many years, wouldn't she be furious to see him hugging her?
"Oh, Deputy Supervisor Zhou."
Mingyao frowned and looked at Zhou Shuya with feigned surprise, "You, you mustn't misunderstand."
“I wasn’t feeling well, and Mr. Pei was worried that something might happen to me, so he took me to the hospital.”
She looked like a startled fawn, her face filled with panic, but her eyes unconsciously drifted towards Pei Siyu.
Pei Siyu remained expressionless, holding Mingyao tightly as he walked straight past Zhou Shuya without even glancing at her, treating her as if she were nothing.
Ignored, Zhou Shuya stood frozen in place like an ice sculpture, her face ashen, her hands clenched, biting her lower lip hard, her heart clenching sharply.
It felt like someone had stabbed her in the heart.
Why Mingyao of all people?
If she were holding another woman, she wouldn't be in so much pain!
Zhou Shuya turned around and glared fiercely at Mingyao in Pei Siyu's arms, her eyes blazing with anger.
Mingyao is a despicable woman who relies on feigning weakness to gain men's sympathy. How could she get close to Pei Siyu so easily?
Moreover, she was already married. What methods did she use on Pei Siyu to make him personally carry her to the hospital?
Zhou Shuya was completely baffled; she didn't think she was much worse than Mingyao.
But despite knowing Pei Siyu for so long, he has never given her a second glance and even despises her.
Where is Mingyao? She's only been with the company for less than a month, and she's already being held in Pei Siyu's arms!
If this goes on for a long time, wouldn't we just end up with Pei Siyu?
No, she has to find a way to expose her in front of Pei Siyu!
Zhou Shuya stared menacingly in the direction Pei Siyu had left, her expression ferocious and her eyes bloodshot.
Before Pei Siyu carried her away from the fertile field, Ming Yao caught a glimpse of Zhou Shuya's displeasure out of the corner of her eye, and chuckled inwardly.
Serves you right!
A hint of pleasure flickered in her eyes. Seeing her furious and exasperated expression, wasn't it more satisfying than being slapped?
Suddenly, Mingyao felt a cold gaze directed at her.
She swiftly concealed the smugness in her eyes and timidly raised her innocent, doe-like eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Pei Siyu casually looked away.
Mingyao patted her chest, still shaken, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I almost thought my public image had collapsed.
Pei Siyu carried Mingyao and strode out of the fertile field, drawing surprised glances from the passing staff.
The night was deep, and the night breeze carried a slight chill.
Ming Yaoqing couldn't help but shiver and rubbed her arms slightly.
If I had known it would be this cold tonight, I would have worn more layers.
"Master Pei?"
The assistant was relaxing by the roadside when he saw Pei Siyu emerge from the fertile field and quickly walked up to him.
When he saw Mingyao in the man's arms, his eyes widened in horror.
He's gone mad, he must be mad.
President Pei, who has always been indifferent to women, actually carried Mingyao out in front of so many people!
After a brief moment of surprise, the assistant opened the car door.
Mingyao was held by Pei Siyu and placed on the back seat like a puppet.
After she was seated, she thanked him solemnly, "Thank you, Master Pei."
