Chapter 123 I just like the bad Pei Yu.

When Shen Zhiyi came over, she only planned to say a few words to Pei Yu and then leave, so Xiao Dong was still waiting in the car. After she finished speaking, she moved awkwardly, then realized it belatedly and said in a low voice, "I'm leaving."

Pei Yu still held his hand, and he didn't let go. He was distracted by her words, but when he understood what she meant, a smile gradually filled his eyes.

He was still confused and uneasy when he saw her in the hall, so he didn't react. On the way here when he carried her, he gradually came to his senses and realized that the fact that she was willing to come to him was very different from what he had imagined, and he was afraid that she would not hate him or even despise him. But now that he heard her say it herself, he was completely relieved and suddenly realized that the situation was much better than he expected. It was really a pleasant surprise.

His heart was surging with emotion, and he kissed her fingertips carefully, "So we——"

Shen Zhiyi said quickly, "No."

"Why?" he asked.

Shen Zhiyi saw through his thoughts at a glance. As businessmen are profit-seeking, he is extremely good at taking advantage of opportunities and seizing opportunities.

She didn't fall for his trick, "I'm not ready yet."

This is also the truth. Knowing your heart is one thing, and deciding to be with him is another.

After looking at her for a while and making sure that there was no room for negotiation, Pei Yu gave up. However, he was unwilling to give up this good opportunity. "Will I still be rejected?"

He kneaded Shen Zhiyi's fingertips, his tone was slightly low, as if he was a little disappointed, "When I want to see you, will you still refuse me?"

She finally showed signs of softening her attitude, but he always wanted to give her some benefits.

As expected, Shen Zhiyi softened her heart and said awkwardly, "You won't come even if I refuse you?"

"That's different," he said with a serious look in his eyes, "If you say no, I will always take it seriously. When I go to see you, I will always wonder if you will reject me."

Shen Zhiyi believed it a little and had to give a definite answer, "I won't."

She said angrily, "Is this okay?"

He just wanted to hear her say this.

"Well," Pei Yu smiled, not daring to tease her any more, and said, "I'll take you home."

"Hasn't the party just started?" Shen Zhiyi guessed that he must have his own purpose for coming here, and it was not just a simple social interaction. "You should focus on your own things."

"There's someone I want to see," Pei Yu told her without hiding anything from her. "We can meet next time."

Of course, coming to the dinner party was not as simple as making ordinary connections. There was something to discuss. In order to prevent himself from thinking about her, he had filled his schedule these days. Now he was shooting himself in the foot.

"Don't," Shen Zhiyi pushed him away, not wanting to delay his work, "I'll go back by myself, Xiao Dong is still waiting for me."

She refused again and again, so Pei Yu had to give up the idea. After making sure that her ankle was really fine, he walked her to the car.

PARKING LOT.

He held onto the car door, as if he had just remembered something. In fact, he had been thinking about this matter all the way, thinking about how to start the conversation. Finally, he chose a nonchalant tone and asked casually, "What about Meng Qiming..."

He really cared about Meng Qiming.

Although what happened that day could not be said to be Meng Qiming's fault, it was obvious that Pei Yu was not rational enough in this regard. He cared a lot about it and even took his anger out on him. After all, the person who harmed Shen Zhiyi was his friend, so he must take the responsibility. It was even more difficult to guarantee that the same thing would not happen a second time.

In short, Pei Yu couldn't help but feel hostile towards Meng Qiming. In the past, they were competitors, and Pei Yu would not touch him for Shen Zhiyi's sake. But now, the two of them were no longer on the same level. He had Shen Zhiyi's personal promise, so he could naturally be a little "willful".

"I made it clear to him," Shen Zhiyi emphasized, "from now on, we can only be partners."

We can't even be friends.

Pei Yu curled his lips and smiled, completely relaxed, with a lazy smile, "Well, I was thinking that if you can't speak, I can go and talk to him."

If he said it, it would be a naked declaration of sovereignty.

After asking this, he didn't show any intention of leaving. He hooked Shen Zhiyi's fingertips that were resting on the seat, and lowered his voice, which was ambiguous in the night. "Can I come to see you after I'm done?"

He hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol tonight, and his eyes were clear as day, but at this moment, they were covered with a faint haze. Looking into his eyes was like falling into an invisible whirlpool.

Xiao Dong was sitting in the driver's seat, looking straight ahead. When she heard this, she tried hard to control the expression on her face. She turned on the car stereo as if to cover up her mistake, for fear of hearing something she shouldn't hear. However, she overlooked the fact that Shen Zhiyi was also in the car.

Music suddenly sounded in the car, breaking the invisible connection between the two. Shen Zhiyi came back to his senses and quickly withdrew his fingers, "No."

She looked over, her eyes full of water, not very intimidating, and warned him, "Don't be too greedy."

It's so late today. If he goes to see her, he will definitely try his best to keep her overnight. But she is not as determined as he imagined. She has known this for a long time, so the final result will definitely be that his wish comes true.

If she really gave in a little, he would take advantage of the situation and want to do whatever he wanted.

"Okay," Pei Yu agreed helplessly. Although he didn't achieve his wish, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. There was no need to rush now. "See you tomorrow."

He closed the car door and took two steps back. Xiao Dong didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt as if he glanced at him coldly.

She swore that she really didn't mean it, she was just simply not thinking straight.

"Sister Zhiyi," Xiao Dong prayed that Pei Yu would forget her stupid move as soon as possible, while curiously asking, "You guys..."

It doesn't look like they are getting back together. After all, all of Mr. Pei's requests to go further were rejected, which is quite pitiful.

Shen Zhiyi opened the car window to blow away the remaining heat on his face, and was silent for a moment before giving an ambiguous answer.

“I want to give us a chance.”

Xiao Dong hesitated for a moment, realizing that Shen Zhiyi was serious, "Sister Zhiyi, do you think President Pei is better than President Meng?"

She said, "It seems that Meng Qiming is better. He seems gentler and has a better temper."

If she only compared their personalities, she felt that someone like Meng Qiming was obviously more suitable as a partner.

"I know," Shen Zhiyi whispered softly, his voice broken by the wind, "I know."

Pei Yu has a bad temper, is overbearing and arrogant. If anyone annoys him, he will not give the other person any face at all. If you live with such a person day and night, you have to always watch his face.

But what can I do? Shen Zhiyi said softly, "I just like this bad Pei Yu."

At some point, she seemed to have gained some confidence, believing that she could be the exception.
