Seeing Qiao Ruoxi standing there in a daze, the man's lips curled up imperceptibly: "My name is Pei Yaozhou. Have you read the agreement?"
Qiao Ruoxi didn't expect the other party to change the topic so quickly. She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses from Pei Yaozhou's handsome appearance, which was extremely similar to that of the little emperor.
The little emperor's name is Lu Wenzhou, and it seems that he is indeed not the same person as the man in front of him.
Ren Quan, who was standing by, had already handed over the agreement: "Third Master, Miss Qiao has already signed it, please review it."
Pei Yaozhou took the agreement and flipped through the pages, finally his gaze landing on Qiao Ruoxi's signature. After a long pause, he looked up at Qiao Ruoxi: "Is there anything else you want to confirm? Or do you have any comments?"
Qiao Ruoxi nodded. "We're just an agreement couple. Aside from cooperating with you in front of your family when you need us to, we won't interfere with each other's lives the rest of the time. That's for three years, right?"
Pei Yaozhou nodded: "That's right, I will compensate you with 30 million and a villa. Of course, if you have other needs, I will cooperate with you and do my best to satisfy you."
Hearing this, Qiao Ruoxi inexplicably thought of last night. Looking at Pei Yaozhou's serious face, Qiao Ruoxi became even more certain that she had misunderstood, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush.
"No other questions?" Pei Yaozhou asked.
Qiao Ruoxi shook her head.
Pei Yaozhou picked up the pen on the table, lowered his head and signed his name. Qiao Ruoxi seemed to see a flash of smile on Pei Yaozhou's face, not knowing if it was an illusion.
When Pei Yaozhou looked up again, it was that cold face again.
The man handed Qiao Ruoxi a marriage agreement and said, "Can we go get the marriage certificate now?"
Qiao Ruoxi nodded. She had no objection, but she was not used to the man's face and felt weird.
"Ms. Qiao, why do you always stare at my face?" Pei Yaozhou's low voice sounded.
"A little old." Qiao Ruoxi blurted out.
Everyone present was so shocked after hearing what Qiao Ruoxi said that they dared not breathe. No one had ever dared to say that their Third Master Pei was old. Was he trying to kill himself?
Just when everyone thought Mr. Pei was going to fly into a rage, Mr. Pei remained expressionless: "I'm old?"
Qiao Ruoxi also came back to her senses. What she meant was that compared to the little emperor, he was a little older, but it was obvious that this explanation made the situation worse.
Ren Quan rolled his eyes and stepped forward: "Miss Qiao means that the Third Master always wears a suit, which makes him look old-fashioned. Miss Qiao doesn't know that the Third Master just came back from a business meeting and hasn't had time to change his clothes yet!"
When everyone heard what Ren Quan said, their eyes widened even more. Why would Ren Quan stand on the side of this little girl and talk?
And doesn't this mean that the Third Master has to change his dressing habits for a little girl?
They knew Third Master Pei's character very well. He would never change himself for anyone, even if that person was Third Master's biological mother, or Old Madam Pei!
Everyone shook their heads. It seemed that Ren Quan would have no chance of getting a year-end bonus this year.
"Really? Do you think what I'm wearing is old-fashioned?" Master Pei said softly.
Everyone trembled again.
It’s over. Master San is really angry. Is he going to ask them to throw this little girl out of the RV?
Qiao Ruoxi looked at Ren Quan gratefully. He found such an excuse for her. This excuse was much better than her explanation which only made things worse.
So he nodded and pointed at Pei Yaozhou's suit: "This suit is really not good-looking, it makes you look old."
Everyone: ...
I’ve seen people who are not afraid of death, but I’ve never seen anyone so fearless!
Pei Yaozhou also lowered his head to look at the high-end suit he was wearing and said "hmm": "If you have time, accompany me to pick out some clothes."
Everyone: ???
They must have heard it right. The suit that Mr. Pei was wearing was a handmade piece worth tens of millions, designed by a famous fashion designer. Most people couldn't afford it even if they wanted to!
Not only did the Third Master reject this suit, he also let a little girl choose clothes for him?
Is there something wrong with them, or is there something wrong with this world!
Qiao Ruoxi didn't notice the ghostly looks from the people around her, but instead touched her chin: "If you're not in a hurry, I can make a few for you when I have time."
Pei Yaozhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "You can also make clothes?"
Qiao Ruoxi nodded: "Maybe my hands are a little unfamiliar, but I can try."
"Okay, we recently received a few pieces of glossy satin and linen cloth. I'll ask Ren Quan to get them for you." Pei Yaozhou nodded.
This time everyone's jaws dropped to the ground.
Glossy satin and linen are the fabrics used for Pei's haute couture new products this season. They are all hand-woven and belong to the intangible cultural heritage craft. Few people can weave them, so the supply is also very limited.
Is Mr. Pei going to let this little girl practice with such precious fabric?
The point is that this little girl actually agreed to it. Is it because she is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, or is it because she has no idea how valuable this fabric is!
"Can we go get the certificate now?" Pei Yaozhou asked.
Everyone: ...Why do they feel that Mr. Pei San seems to be more anxious to get the marriage certificate than this girl?
Ren Quan took Qiao Ruoxi out of the RV first, and did not let her look back until Pei Yaozhou's voice rang out again: "Sorry for the wait."
Pei Yaozhou sat in a wheelchair, operating the buttons and moving towards her.
"Is your leg injured?" Qiao Ruoxi narrowed her eyes. She had just felt that the man's legs were a little strange, but she didn't expect that he couldn't walk.
Pei Yaozhou's face darkened. "I'll never be able to stand again in my life. Before we get the marriage certificate, I allow you to tear up the agreement. You still have time to think it over."
Qiao Ruoxi shook her head: "That's not what I meant..." It was just a marriage by agreement, so she naturally wouldn't mind whether the other party was disabled or not.
She just vaguely felt that Pei Yaozhou was poisoned, but she couldn't be sure at the moment.
When the two walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau, they instantly attracted everyone's attention, some with admiration and some with regret.
I admire the handsome man and beautiful woman, but I feel sorry that the man is disabled.
"This girl is so young and beautiful, why would she marry a disabled man? How miserable will her life be in the future!"
"If a man is disabled, he won't be unfaithful in the future. It's good to be able to live a stable life."
"What do you know? I saw a news story before about a man who had his legs amputated and was carried by his wife wherever he went. He sold goods through livestreams, but when he became famous, he dumped his wife and found another young, beautiful woman."
"Men will only be honest if they are hung on the wall. Stop falling in love!"
The discussion among the crowd was quite loud, and the bodyguards following Pei Yaozhou were even more afraid to make a sound.
Mr. Pei Sanye has never appeared in the media, so they didn't know that the man they were talking about was Mr. Pei Sanye, known as the "living king of hell."
Little did they know that disaster was about to happen to them...
These people's words are like rubbing salt into Mr. Pei's wounds!
With the influence of Mr. Pei San in China, as long as Mr. Pei San opens his mouth, these people will be in big trouble!
Sure enough, Mr. Pei San's wheelchair stopped.
The bodyguards lowered their heads, hoping that Master Pei's anger would not affect them.
