"Aran is right," Chi Zaiqing said, slowly sitting down next to Shi Xi.
Shi Xi turned her head, placed her finger on her light-colored lips, and made a 'shh' gesture to him.
If this continues, Pei Muban might really flip the table.
Chi Zaiqing smiled at Shi Xi and obediently shut his mouth.
"..." Having calmed down a bit, Pei Muban looked at the uninvited Chi Zaiqing and asked, "What is it?"
Gao Buran's mission was already complete when Chi Yan'an appeared, and their employment relationship officially ended.
For an omega like Chi Zaiqing, there is absolutely no need for him to continue following Gao Buran.
Moreover, Chi Yan'an probably holds a grudge against Gao Buran for taking Chi Zaiqing away from their arranged marriage.
Chi Zaiqing's arrival at this time was completely unnecessary and only added to the trouble.
Chi Zaiqing glanced at Pei Muban, knowing what the other was worried about. "I only paid half the deposit before, and my older brother told me to pay the other half."
Although Chi Yan'an did not know that he had come to see Shi Xi, it did not stop Chi Zaiqing from saying so.
"Oh, right." Chi Zaiqing looked at Shi Xi and smiled shyly: "And Aran slept with me and helped me dry my pants..."
Sleeping together? Drying pants?
Pei Mu frowned and glared at Shi Xi, who was counting money on her fingers without any apparent problem.
Pei Muban couldn't help but suspect—
Did they really elope?!
Did they fall in love without my knowledge, and was I the one who broke them up?!
Otherwise, for such a small matter as paying, Chi Zaiqing, an omega, wouldn't need to come in person; Chi Yan'an could have just sent his assistant or secretary.
Chi Zaiqing probably did this because he wanted to spend more time with his sweetheart.
Pei Muban was filled with countless thoughts.
"Aran, I've turned around." Chi Zaiqing put down her headband, hugged Shi Xi's arm, and looked at Shi Xi with bright eyes.
Hearing this, Pei Muban couldn't help but look at Shi Xi—
The other person was happily holding the laptop, counting the zeros on the screen.
Seeing how obsessed he was with money, Pei Muban immediately dismissed his earlier guess.
"..." You're overthinking it.
What bad intentions could Gao Buran possibly have? He just wants to make money.
After seeing off Chi Zaiqing, who still wanted to stick close to him, Shi Xi sat on the sofa and continued to check his bank account.
Pei Mu lowered his eyes to look at Shi Xi, who was radiating beauty.
Noticing his gaze, Shi Xi looked up and said cheerfully, "Boss, we made a lot of money this time! Now Tingyu's medical expenses are covered!"
Chi Zaiqing and Jiang Yichen completed the temporary marking.
The medical expenses have been raised.
He's just waiting for the surgery to be completed so he can leave this world safely.
Seeing his happy expression, Jiang Yichen silently swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and gave a soft "hmm".
I feel like I've used up all my good temper in this life on Gao Buran.
...
Chu Yao, sitting behind Shi Xi, naturally heard the conversation... So it wasn't an elopement after all.
For some reason, his mood improved.
Chu Yao got up, walked to Shi Xi's table, and sat down in the spot where Chi Zaiqing had just been sitting.
He pushed the terminal in front of Shi Xi.
"?" Shi Xi looked at him in confusion.
Chu Yao paused for a moment, then said, "Add me as a friend, and I'll transfer the money to you."
"..." Pei Muban saw Chu Yao, propped his forehead up, and looked at Shi Xi, "You really are fair and square, aren't you?"
Aside from Sheng Yingpu, he didn't let any fat sheep go.
Shi Xi, along with Chu Yao's friend, gave him a number, then looked at Pei Muban and smiled sheepishly, "I can't help it, I never discriminate, I always treat everyone equally."
Pei Muban: "..." You're getting cocky when I say you're fat.
Shi Xi doesn't look like a mercenary at all; he looks more like a rich man collecting money.
As long as you sit here, people will come over to pay you.
Chu Yao frowned, then suddenly spoke, "No need to round down."
Shi Xi was surprised for a moment. When she was calculating the bill, it was a little over 40,000. Thinking that Chu Yao had bought the wolf pelt for double the price, Shi Xi generously instructed him to round down the price by a few dozen yuan.
I never expected that Chu Yao would know.
Did he secretly keep accounts?
Finally, Shi Xi nodded to him, "Okay, no rounding down."
...
Watching Chu Yao leave, Chi Zaiqing withdrew her gaze from that direction.
His gaze then turned to Chi Yan'an, who was walking in this direction.
Chi Yan'an simply looked at him and said, "The person you've taken a fancy to seems to be quite popular."
He spoke in a calm tone, as if he were merely stating a fact and had no other meaning.
Chi Zaiqing's gaze fell on Shi Xi again, and unsurprisingly, he saw that the person opposite Shi Xi had changed again.
This time it was Sheng Yingpu and Cheng Hao.
Noticing Chi Zaiqing and Chi Yan'an's gazes, Shi Xi nodded to them. Chi Zaiqing smiled at him, then said to Chi Yan'an—
"Whose fault is this?"
Chi Yan'an waved to Shi Xi, and anyone who didn't know better would think the two had a good relationship.
Sheng Yingpu felt inexplicably uncomfortable watching Chi Yan'an's actions.
As far as he knew, Chi Yan'an was not an approachable person, and moreover, Shi Xi had taken Chi Zaiqing away from the wedding. Even if he didn't care, he shouldn't have acted so... enthusiastically.
Chi Yan'an withdrew his hand. "Chi Zaiqing, have I been too lenient with you?"
After saying this, Chi Yan'an did not wait for his reply and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Chi Zaiqing suddenly spoke up, "Big brother, do you have a needle and thread here?"
Chi Yan'an glanced at Chi Zaiqing, but didn't ask why he asked that question. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Yes, it's in the guest room drawer."
\"Um.\"
Chi Zaiqing showed a satisfied expression and turned to walk towards the guest room.
...
Pei Mu watched Shi Xi constantly adding friends and collecting payments, and perhaps because he was used to it, he didn't seem surprised at all.
Jiang Yichen, Cheng Hao, Chi Zaiqing, Chu Yao, Sheng Yingpu... along with those three space pirates.
They treated everyone equally, leaving no one out.
I haven't seen this guy for just a few days, and he's quietly pulled off a huge heist, ripping off all the most powerful people in the intergalactic world.
That's incredibly audacious.
Headache.
Seeing that Pei Mu was half-covering his head and looked unwell, Shi Xi took out a purple leaf from her body and held it up to him.
"Boss, do you have a headache? Eat this, it'll make the headache go away."
Pei Muban glanced at Chi Zaiqing, whose violet eyes held concern and a look of deep worry.
After hesitating for a moment, he took the herbs, put them in his mouth, and chewed them.
Slightly sweet.
"How are you feeling? Any better?" Shi Xi asked.
Pei Mu lowered his head slightly to look at Shi Xi and nodded, saying, "Much better."
"That's good." Shi Xi patted Pei Muban's shoulder with a smile, "Luckily, you're alright, boss..."
Pei Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Shi Xi continued, "...Otherwise, I would become the culprit who caused the organization's destruction and the death of my family."
