Chapter 49 She now has more than 240,000 awakening points!
“No… no—!”
In front of all the senior executives of Runjia Investment Group, Xi Yimiao suddenly covered his face with his hands and let out a shrill scream. As everyone turned around in shock, he fainted on the ground with a thud.
"This..." The security guard was so scared that he raised his hands and clarified: "We didn't touch him! It's none of our business!"
The attendees who were about to leave the top floor all stopped. They looked at Xi Yimiao, who was lying motionless on the ground, and looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
"No... isn't that right?" a senior executive from the internet technology sector asked in surprise. "He just didn't pass the probationary period. After all, he comes from a wealthy family and has two older sisters. He wouldn't faint from the shock of failing to secure a small position as general manager, right?"
There was one more thing she held back from saying.
The legendary eldest son of the Xi family, after all this time spent creating an artistic persona, is this all he knows? He was just shouting at the chairman in a meeting, and now he's fainting?
Du Wanwan was about to speak when a voice suddenly sounded in her head.
"Congratulations to the host system for its victory. The Awakener system is being imported..."
What Awakener System? Her system is back? Before Du Wanwan could even think, her vision blurred and her body shook violently.
"Wanwan!"
"Miss!"
"Chairman!"
Several screams were heard, and two people reached out to help at the same time.
Meng Qian was standing right in front of Du Wanwan. If he turned around and opened his arms, Du Wanwan would fall into his arms. But as soon as he moved, he felt a gaze like a sharp knife, slashing towards him with a cold and sharp force.
He was taken aback for a moment, then saw Du Wanwan's cold and abstinent assistant move his arm slightly. He didn't know how he managed it, but Du Wanwan fell into the throng of cluttered secretaries in the board office, where she was supported by Dong Shuqing and several assistants.
Pei Xingyao gave Meng Qian a warning look, stepped aside to make way, and ordered, "The chairman is tired. Help him go in and rest."
“Yes… yes!”
This was the first time Dong Shuqing encountered such a situation. She, who was always able to hold her own in a situation, felt her voice tremble. She quickly helped Du Wanwan back to the chairman's office with several female assistants and let her lie down on the sofa to rest.
"Assistant Pei, do you want to call an ambulance?"
Pei Xingyao shook his head silently.
Ever since the beginning, when she was almost taken away by Xiang Yongkang's men, Du Wanwan would always be accompanied by bodyguards and private doctors no matter where she went, even if it was just to the company.
Yu Jiani was resting on the top floor. When she received Pei Xingyao's call, she rushed in within half a minute: "Move aside, let me take a look."
Pei Xingyao waved his hand and made way for the secretaries and assistants.
He stood quietly near the sofa, his expression seemed to have not changed, and he still looked cold and deserted.
But he had to clench his fingers tightly to stop them from shaking.
The moment he saw her fall, Pei Xingyao's heartbeat suddenly stopped. The blood in his body first solidified, then rushed to his heart. His heart ached immensely, beating rapidly and hard, squeezing the blood and colliding with his blood vessels like a drum.
But his whole body was covered in cold sweat.
Because of fear.
"What..." After Yu Jiani stood up, Pei Xingyao suddenly looked up and asked, only to find that his voice was broken. He had to pause before he could adjust his voice back to its original cold and calm tone.
"Doctor Yu, how is it?"
"The young lady is fine." Yu Jiani breathed a sigh of relief, but her brows were furrowed in a look of unwavering worry. "Maybe the meeting was too long, or she was too tired recently. It's okay, let her rest for a while, she'll be fine soon."
When Dong Shuqing heard this, she immediately left with her assistants.
After closing the office door, she turned around and warned, "We are now first-class personal guards. You all know what to say and what not to say, right? Leaking the truth in front of the emperor is a capital crime, understand?"
Several people nodded repeatedly: "Got it."
Of course, they wouldn't leak the news. Du Wanwan fainted in full view of everyone. She'd just dealt Yu Chong a blow, and now, after leaving the victory field, she collapsed, looking like a spent force. Everyone at Runjia Investment was buzzing with discussion, with every department and division asking the board's office for information. Even though the board's office assistants repeatedly insisted, "The chairman is fine, just exhausted," clearly telling the truth, no one believed them.
Rumors were circulating throughout Runjia Investment that the chairman was dying and that he couldn't even hold on during a regular meeting and would faint.
But just as the news spread, Du Wanwan opened her eyes in the chairman's office.
She propped herself up and sat up, and immediately felt a pair of restrained and worried gazes.
Pei Xingyao was working on his laptop next to her, but his eyes were fixed on her, and his voice was suppressed: "Chairman, how are you feeling? Would you like some water?"
Du Wanwan waved her hand, bent her legs and sat sideways on the sofa, still a little dazed for a moment.
In fact, she fainted not because of a physical problem, but because her brain suddenly flooded with a lot of information. She was too weak to react to the overwhelming amount of information.
Her system suddenly came back, and like a flash flood, data gushed out.
Du Wanwan took a long time to sort things out before she reacted.
Her system is a little different.
For example, in the initial "Rebellion [Pack and Go]" event, the system initially indicated a reward of 100 awakening points. Now, this line of data has changed to "Rebellion [Pack and Go], Level N, Awakening Points +100, Awakening Point Balance 100."
The system assigns levels to events.
At the beginning, the resistance [Pack and Go], hiding personal measurements, and looking at [Live Breaking Engagement] were all N-level, and the rewards were all 100. It was just because there were three main characters in the resistance live breaking engagement event that the reward was 400 awakening points.
But after looking carefully, Du Wanwan found that the system's initial level labels were very confusing.
No matter how big the matter—for example, Du Wanwan personally felt that resisting the live-streamed divorce was crucial to her succession rights, so it was a matter of utmost importance. Right? But the system only listed her at N level.
And awakening Wei Heng, a seemingly insignificant character, to SR level and giving her 10,000 points? It's just as important as unlocking the hidden plot [Wrong Child Incident].
Is it because these are the rewards given to her when the system was suppressed, so it is more confusing?
Scrolling down, I found that the event levels and rewards were indeed reasonable.
Changing the investment to Monsoon Hotel will result in N level, and 100 awakening points will be awarded.
The system's reward sources have also become richer. Du Wanwan looked through them carefully and summarized them.
The first source of rewards is the same as before. You can get rewards by changing the landmark events of the main storyline.
But there is a prerequisite, it must be the main storyline in the original work.
For example, Du Wanwan recently sent Song Yuhao and Deng Chengbin to prison, and Xiang Wanyi was nearly sent to the investor's bed. This incident wasn't mentioned in the original novel, so no reward was given for this "event." In the original novel, Ding Zhiyuan became the Vice President of Runjia Group, and his first division was Runjia Entertainment. Therefore, when Du Wanwan took on the role of President of Runjia Entertainment Group, the "Supervising Runjia Entertainment" event changed, and she received a system reward.
However, this incident [Executive Runjia Entertainment] was actually only rated R.
While the original novel's "The Legend of Hu Ji" script belonged to Xiang Yiqing, with Ding Zhiyuan investing in it, in reality, "The Legend of Hu Ji" remains owned by Ye Shiqing, with Lingyun Media investing in it. Therefore, there's a system reward called "Change Ownership of the Script "The Legend of Hu Ji"." This reward is SR-level and offers 10,000 Awakening Points.
Why is "Runjia Entertainment" rated R, but "Changing the Ownership of the Script for "The Legend of Hu Ji"" is SR? Is it that for the original author, who is in charge of Runjia Entertainment is not important, but who finances the filming of "The Legend of Hu Ji" is important?
Who is responsible for the victory in "The Legend of Hu Ji" and who has a greater impact on the main plot?
Du Wanwan put aside this doubt for the moment and continued to summarize the sources of system rewards.
The second source of rewards is changing the character's ending.
The premise of this is that the character must have been written in the original work.
For example, during the Monsoon Hotel incident, she used her power to bring down the Yi family and prop up the Qi family, a total of 19 people from both families. The original novel only briefly mentioned the Yi and Qi families, so in this incident, every member of the Yi and Qi families was considered an N-level character, and this single event rewarded her with 1900 awakening points.
The third source of reward is for the character to obtain the correct ending.
This type of reward is very similar to the second point, but upon analysis, Du Wanwan believes that the second type, titled "Change Character Ending," mostly involves characters who only briefly appear in the original novel. For example, Yi Qiming of the Yi family and Qi Zhiyou of the Qi family aren't good or bad; they simply made a cameo appearance in the original novel, earning them rewards. These rewards are generally N-rated, with almost no R-rated ones.
The third type is characters clearly mentioned in the original novel as having caused real harm to the Du family and society. For example, if Song Yuhao and Deng Chengbin broke the law, even though they were only N-level characters, she would be rewarded with 100 awakening points each by sending them to prison.
The characters that belong to this type of reward include the three criminals in the wrong baby incident. Qi Jiayu is R-level and is rewarded with 1,000 awakening points, while Xiang Yongkang and Qi Yishan are both SR-level and are rewarded with 10,000 awakening points.
If Xiang Yongkang and Qi Yishan are both SR-level, then Ding Zhiyuan, the original male protagonist, is...
Du Wanwan carefully searched the system details and found Ding Zhiyuan's ending reward.
[Have the character [Ding Zhiyuan] obtain the correct ending, SSR level, and be rewarded with 100,000 awakening points.]
100,000 points... Ding Zhiyuan is the male protagonist of the original novel. He got the correct ending and was sent to prison by her. This should be the top reward, right?
But Ding Zhiyuan is gone, but the harem system can still find the host... Du Wanwan always feels that there are SP characters and events above the SSR.
But what kind of role is SP?
Forget it, it’s okay to pay attention to the future, but it’s more important to start with the present.
If the first three sources of system rewards are traceable, being based on the characters in the original work, then the fourth is completely untraceable, like a hidden quest.
The fourth type of reward is called "Complete XX event".
It doesn't change the original plot, nor does it reverse the original plot, but rather completes the hidden events in the original. Currently, there are only two items that fall into this category.
One is to complete the event "Du Qingjia's Legacy," in which Du Wanwan personally separates her mother's inheritance from Xiang Yongkang and returns it to the Du family. This event is R-rated and rewards 1,000 Awakening Points.
The other is to [Complete the [Revenge for Mother] event], which involves uncovering the truth about the mistaken child incident, exposing it to the world, and successfully imprisoning the perpetrator. This is an SSR-level event, rewarding 100,000 points.
In other words…
Du Wanwan concluded that the Awakener System was only valid within the original storyline. Other things, such as her defeating the Harem System's host again today, did not count and would not entail any rewards.
The only reward was that her system escaped the harem system's suppression and could now provide feedback to her? It also got a slight upgrade, with more diverse reward types and even tiered rewards?
So, is there anything smarter that can communicate with people?
"So, in order to gain awakening points, I have to constantly confront the plot?" Du Wanwan tried to ask in her heart.
The answer is silence.
Her system was still a computer system, without any AI capabilities, let alone the ability to talk to her. She could only treat it as a computer, a database, inputting a command to get a result.
However, this is also good. Du Wanwan doesn't like people telling her what to do.
Even a system that could help her conquer the world wouldn't work.
After thoroughly understanding the information provided by the system, Du Wanwan looked at the balance of her awakening points.
You don’t know until you see it, and you will be shocked when you see it.
She now has over 240,000 awakening points!!!
After the hidden storyline "Wrong Child Incident" was revealed, the system hadn't appeared again. Du Wanwan had assumed it was gone, or perhaps ineffective when it was suppressed, not counting. Unexpectedly, the system had been tracking her actions and accumulating rewards for her!
However, her system is a little... not so smart. What should she do with all the awakening points she gets as rewards?
Du Wanwan didn't understand at first, but the instinct of a poor swordsman came into play, reminding her not to spend money carelessly, lest she have nothing to spend when she needs it.
She sorted out the messy information in her mind and came to her senses, only to find that Pei Xingyao had been by her side.
Although he was looking at the computer screen and had a cup of coffee at hand, he was not working at all. Although his head was lowered, his whole attention was on her.
Oh, right. Du Wanwan remembered that she had fainted just now and might have scared her subordinates.
"Assistant Pei." Du Wanwan thought for a moment and decided to let the assistant do something to put her mind at ease. She called out, "Give me a glass of warm water."
Pei Xingyao poured her warm water almost immediately.
Du Wanwan looked at his hand holding the water cup.
The fingers were white and slender. She remembered that they must be very strong. With just a piece of adhesive talisman, they could support the whole body and walk freely outside the glass wall.
But now... Du Wanwan believed that he had tried his best to endure, but the surface of the water in the cup was still rippling gently.
Because those once slender and strong hands were shaking.
Was it because he was worried about her? Because he… Du Wanwan belatedly remembered that in the original novel, he seemed to like the heroine. Even though the heroine was a pale and weak dodder, an infatuated scumbag’s ATM.
Now, among all the characters in the original novel, except herself, she has only awakened Wei Heng.
So, now, he still has a good impression of her, so is he worried about her?
Emotions affect the speed of drawing the sword... No, it affects the efficiency of doing things.
If it were someone else, Du Wanwan would have cut the Gordian knot and transferred out of the position immediately. But since this person was Pei Xingyao... she felt a little reluctant.
Assistant Pei was too reliable, and it was easy for her to forgive some insignificant mistakes, and she even wanted to indulge her.
Du Wanwan sighed slightly in her heart. Before taking the cup of water, she patted the back of his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry too much. I know what I'm doing."
When her fingers touched him, Pei Xingyao was almost burned by the slightly cool temperature, as if an electric current had passed through him.
He was in a trance.
Including this life, it has been three lifetimes, and he has never thought that one day he would be able to touch her.
He almost instinctively retracted his hand, but he was afraid that her physical condition was too bad and she would not be able to bear the weight of the cup, and the water would spill on her dress.
The silent assistant's mind was already swirling with a thousand thoughts, stirring a turbulent storm. But in reality, only two or three seconds had passed.
Du Wanwan was completely unaware. She took the water cup with both hands, took a sip, and asked, "How is Xi Yimiao?"
As soon as the weight on his hand disappeared, Pei Xingyao quickly withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, and responded, "Xi Yimiao suddenly fainted and couldn't be woken up. His whole body was stiff and the security guards couldn't change his position. According to the report from the security department, he was sent to the hospital with his hands covering his face."
His face remained calm, his expression cold, and even his tone was as composed as usual. No one knew that his hands behind his back were completely frozen, as if frozen, unable to move, yet the warmth from them was like fire, heating his blood to a boiling point.
Will this touch be imprinted on his soul and cannot be erased even after reincarnation?
She is so calm and composed, and he is so hypocritical. Isn't it too abnormal?
Du Wanwan had no idea what was going on in her assistant's heart, and only paid attention to Xi Yimiao's matter.
Just now, Xi Yimiao suddenly screamed, and her system suddenly recovered. The two combined, Du Wanwan deduced a fact -
It should be that Xi Yimiao's plan for her failed and she lost her qualification as the host of the harem system. The conditions that the harem system originally gave Xi Yimiao were related to her face, so once something went wrong, Xi Yimiao's first reaction was to cover her face.
But what's the point of having a good face? With Xi Yimiao's brain, he might as well have invested all his skill points in intelligence.
Du Wanwan thought with disdain, then her mind suddenly changed and she remembered another thing.
In the original novel, this harem system followed Ding Zhiyuan until the end. Now, before the original plot has even progressed, she has already killed two hosts. Will the harem system really accept this?
Will it choose another host?
After Ding Zhiyuan was captured, it was only when Xi Yimiao walked into the meeting room alone that she received a system alert, saying there was a system confrontation. Only then did she confirm that the new host of the Harem System was Xi Yimiao. Thus, she was able to carefully plan to deal with the Harem System.
What if the harem system didn't give up and chose another host, and came looking for her again? And if she learned from the last lesson and appeared with a group of people, how would she determine who the host was?
Why did the harem system keep targeting her?
Du Wanwan doesn't believe in true love. The only reason she can think of is the money invested by Runjia.
In the original novel, wasn't Ding Zhiyuan able to sleep with all kinds of women because he used Runjia's money to invest and pretend to be a wealthy tycoon? Without Runjia's money and resources, what would Ding Zhiyuan's eloquence and favorability system do?
Once you determine the other party's purpose, things will be much easier.
Du Wanwan's thoughts shifted several times within a few minutes. She looked up and said, "Assistant Pei, call Yi Jiantai and tell him I'll be taking a 'sick leave' soon. Ask him to keep an eye on the 'Legend of the Hu Ji' crew. If you have any difficulties, come directly to me or you. Don't say anything else."
She was so calm that it made him look so idle.
Pei Xingyao pinched himself hard with his hands behind his back and answered calmly, "Yes."
Du Wanwan knew that after she fainted in public, the group still had no idea what the inheritance would look like. Perhaps she had already become a terminally ill person, with a large group of people waiting to tire her to death. To confirm this rumor, Du Wanwan waited until Pei Xingyao finished the call, then ordered: "No work today, go home."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hands: "Come, carry me downstairs."
Pei Xingyao was stunned as if struck by lightning. He opened his lips but for the first time in his life, he couldn't utter a single word.
Hug, hug her?
Is today the only blessed day he has earned in several lifetimes?
Otherwise, how could he be touched by her fingers first, and now, be asked to...carry her downstairs?
"Ah... don't get me wrong." Du Wanwan saw that he looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and immediately realized that the meaning of her words was ambiguous. She was simply a superior who wanted to take advantage of her.
She quickly explained, "I just wanted to confirm the rumor that I fainted due to illness. I didn't mean to take advantage of you. I just wanted to carry me downstairs and then put me in the car..."
However, taking the elevator down from the fortieth floor, plus the time it took to give the order and get on the bus, would take at least four or five minutes. She was asking too much of a person of the opposite sex who was known for his chastity and abstinence.
What's more, he seemed to have some feelings for her.
"Forget it. Sorry." Du Wanwan took back her words. "Please help me find a stronger security guard from the security department..."
"No!" Pei Xingyao interrupted her quickly.
“…” Du Wanwan looked at him in surprise.
Pei Xingyao was well aware that her current temperament was very similar to that of her first life as a swordsman. Although she subconsciously considered herself a "third sex," the instincts of a woman's body would not be extinguished. No matter how indifferent she was, she could not get used to physical contact from a man, let alone a security guard who was a complete stranger.
It's just a show, just a show.
Only he can make the play real, and only he can find the right measure and not make her feel uncomfortable.
"Miss, let me do it." Pei Xingyao requested.
Du Wanwan blinked.
Although I don't know why he suddenly agreed, but at the moment, there is indeed no one more suitable than him.
She nodded.
Pei Xingyao couldn't help but raise her hand and pinched her brow, forcing herself to calm down. Then she raised her hand and said, "Miss, please continue to pretend to be unconscious. I know what to do. Leave everything to me."
He paused and repeated, "I understand everything, please rest assured."
She had no concerns about him, right? If she didn't, why would she keep him by her side and act with him?
It's just... it seems a bit difficult for him.
But in this situation, she couldn't say much. Du Wanwan simply lay down on the sofa without saying a word.
When she closed her eyes, she seemed to hear a long, very slow inhalation.
Like a manic soul trying to calm down.
Ah... this is so embarrassing.
Du Wanwan felt guilty.
When we return to the Du residence, we have to give Assistant Pei a subsidy.
Pei Xingyao held his breath for half a minute, using his powerful ancient martial arts skills to calm his pounding heart. Another half minute passed before he opened the door to the chairman's office and said in a deep voice, "Please call Dr. Yu."
His voice was cold and solemn. Dong Shuqing and several assistants panicked and exchanged glances: Could it be that the chairman is really not well?
"I'll go right away!" Xue Yuhan immediately trotted to the lounge and called Yu Jiani over.
Yu Jiani's face was also in a state of panic. She clearly remembered that when she had taken the young lady's pulse earlier, she had confirmed that she had no new problems and that her physical condition was no different from when she left home that morning. How could she not only faint so suddenly, but also remain unconscious for such a long time?
She hurried over and looked at Pei Xingyao worriedly.
Pei Xingyao shook his head silently, signaling her not to say anything, and then he said loudly: "The chairman is feeling unwell and will be on leave today. If there is anything, please report to me. Doctor Yu, please help me with my briefcase."
Help him carry his bag? Doesn't this mean... Yu Jiani's face turned pale, but she knew she couldn't say anything more now. She could only force herself to remain calm and walk into the office.
As soon as she entered, she saw Du Wanwan lying unconscious on the sofa, and her eyes immediately turned red. She suppressed her worries, picked up the briefcase on the table, and turned to look at Pei Xingyao.
Pei Xingyao walked silently to the sofa, knelt on one knee, and said, "Miss, I'm taking you home."
Then he waited in silence for a moment, waiting for the eldest lady's permission as usual.
Another half a minute later, Pei Xingyao stretched out his hands, hugged Du Wanwan's shoulders and knees, let her head rest softly and silently on his shoulder, and then exerted force to pick Du Wanwan up.
This was the first time in his three lifetimes that he was so close to her, the first time that he held her in his arms. Pei Xingyao felt as if his hands were holding his entire world, afraid that if he breathed a little harder, it would blow his world apart.
Half of his strength was used to hold his eldest daughter, and the other half was used to maintain his composure, but this composure was too much, and he looked simply cold and eerie.
"Doctor Yu, let's go." These four short words were spoken with the force of a sword.
Doctor Yu thought something big had happened, and he was shocked and ran forward quickly.
Pei Xingyao followed behind her, holding Du Wanwan horizontally in his arms, and strode towards the elevator.
"Hello, Lao Zhang..." Yu Jiani, carrying her briefcase, pressed the elevator button quickly and called the driver to ask him to get the car ready.
Her trembling voice fell into Du Wanwan's ears.
It made her feel very guilty.
In order to make the acting more realistic, I have to apologize to Dr. Yu and make her worry.
But... this feels a little new.
In her two lifetimes combined, this was the first time Du Wanwan was held in someone's arms, and in this horizontal position.
In the past, Du Wanwan always felt that this posture must be uncomfortable.
Because the average white-cut chicken body definitely doesn't have the strength to lift a girl. To be able to lift a girl horizontally and walk briskly, you must be a muscular man.
A muscular man must be hard all over, just like lying on a log, how can it not be uncomfortable?
It must be uncomfortable all over.
But at this moment, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and even felt a little comfortable.
Pei Xingyao had a typical lean build. Although he looked frail, he was actually very strong. He held her with his arms steady and effortless. Most importantly, he didn't have a single muscle on his body.
Not only is it not uncomfortable, it is also warm and generous.
A little comfortable.
She could clearly feel his muscles tense and his heartbeat fast and slow, hitting his chest again and again. The sounds were transmitted to Du Wanwan's ears through his chest muscles.
He was still too forced, so nervous.
Du Wanwan sighed again.
You have to pay more, you must pay more, it's too much to ask.
Pei Xingyao had no idea what his young lady was thinking, and he had no time to care. As the elevator descended, he completely let his mind run wild for the first time, letting a thousand thoughts explode in his head.
This may be the only time in his three lifetimes that he gets what he wants.
He must carve the feeling of holding her into his soul in these few short minutes, and then, even for all the time thereafter - the next life, eternity, he can only be a bystander in her life.
These memories are enough to comfort me.
Time is so long and yet so short.
“Ding——” the elevator reaches the bottom.
"Hurry, here!" Yu Jiani ran forward and got on the back seat.
Pei Xingyao regained his composure in an instant, and he quickly walked forward, holding Du Wanwan in his arms, letting her sleep in the back seat, resting her head on Yu Jiani's legs. Then, he sat in the passenger seat.
After getting what you want, of course you have to return to your own position.
"Drive." Pei Xingyao ordered. "Go back to the Du residence."
When Lao Zhang saw this situation, he panicked and immediately stepped on the accelerator to drive the car out of the parking lot, almost increasing the speed to the limit within traffic regulations.
"Lao Zhang..." Yu Jiani still felt it was not enough and wanted to go faster, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a voice.
"Lao Zhang, slow down. Acting is important, but life is important too."
Huh? Old Zhang's heart trembled. It was a blessing for his driving skills, but he had to drive this luxury car worth tens of millions of yuan onto the curb.
Yu Jiani's eyes widened: "Miss...Miss?"
acting?
"Well, it's just acting. I'm really sorry for scaring you." Du Wanwan lay in the back seat without getting up, but reached out to touch her bag, took out her mobile phone and started playing.
"..." Yu Jiani looked at her, then at Pei Xingyao, and finally came to her senses. Her tense body suddenly relaxed, and she leaned back in the chair, holding her chest and breathing heavily.
"Oh my god... your acting is so good! I'm almost scared to death by you!"
"I'm sorry~" Du Wanwan rarely apologized.
The lying position made her voice even softer, as if she was acting coquettishly.
When he held her just now, Pei Xingyao had been forcing himself to breathe evenly and keep his heartbeat even, so as not to reveal his feelings. It was not until he got into the car and sat in the passenger seat that he could indulge his heart beating wildly.
It took a lot of effort to slow down the pounding of his heart, but when he heard her soft voice, his heart was instantly moved again.
Buzz.
At this moment, the cell phone in his suit pocket suddenly vibrated.
It can't be so soon that there will be movement in the director's office and he needs to take care of something, right?
Pei Xingyao immediately took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and opened the text message page.
It's a money transfer text message.
[[XX Bank] Your account ending in XXXX received a transfer of 500,000 yuan. Summary: Thank you for your hard work.]
At this moment, a surge of cold anger came from the passenger seat almost like an explosion, and Zhang You almost drove the car head-on into the road guardrail again.
He managed to calm down, his heart pounding, and he couldn't help wondering:
What happened? Why was Assistant Pei suddenly so angry?
There was no answer, only continuous anger coming from the passenger seat. Pei Xingyao looked like he was covered in frost, and the driver and Yu Jiani were so scared that they didn't dare to say a word.
After much difficulty, we finally arrived at Du's house.
The car stopped steadily under the rain corridor of the mansion. Yu Jiani opened the car door and got out first. She shook her head at Luo Zhen and Tian Sisi who came after hearing the news, and signaled them not to speak.
In the car, their eldest daughter could still lie down.
She waited for a moment and looked at the passenger seat in confusion.
Acting to the end is better than taking precautions. Du Wanwan believed that Pei Xingyao would understand this principle. But why didn't he come to hug her now?
Could it be...
Du Wanwan suddenly realized and whispered, "Assistant Pei, I know this is very difficult for you, but don't worry, there is overtime pay. I will give it to you when you go upstairs..."
"Pa!" Pei Xingyao suddenly took action when she opened her mouth. He got out of the car very quickly, walked to the back seat, leaned half of his body in, and slapped the back seat with one hand.
He leaned forward, lowered his head, and for the first time he couldn't control his emotions, staring at her with blazing eyes.
What's the point of her giving him money!
Anyone looking down at someone would appear strong and intimidating, let alone a healthy, tall, cool and angry adult male looking down at a petite and frail woman.
But when Du Wanwan met his angry gaze, she didn't even hesitate for a moment, but just narrowed her eyes.
Majesty and coldness emanated from her eyes, and her aura instantly suppressed Pei Xingyao.
Before he could react, the sword spirit's instinct had already given in and surrendered.
Du Wanwan opened her lips slightly, and Pei Xingyao, who knew her personality well, immediately knew that she was unhappy. If he really asked her to say it out loud, she would definitely say, "If you don't want to do it, don't do it. I won't force you."
no!
In order to prevent her from actually saying it out loud, Pei Xingyao moved as fast as lightning and immediately carried her out of the car.
When they got in front of everyone, Du Wanwan immediately cooperated and pretended to be unconscious.
She wasn't angry, she simply felt that there was no need to embarrass him. Pei Xingyao was the only completely normal man she had ever met in this world.
Even Wei Nanrong was somewhat patriarchal and male chauvinistic, but Pei Xingyao didn't have those bad traits.
It is immoral to make things difficult for such a good man.
Du Wanwan listened to Pei Xingyao's heartbeat, felt herself being carried up the stairs step by step by him, and made a decision in her heart.
The moment she felt herself being put on the bed, Du Wanwan opened her eyes and looked into Pei Xingyao's clear and deep eyes without any obstruction in the soft morning sunlight.
"Assistant Pei, find me a female bodyguard now."
