Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Playing Around

Pei Liyan took a deep breath and tried to calm the excitement that had surged within him a moment ago.

Coincidentally, Qiao Rui and Song Muyu were in the private room opposite his.

A waiter was leading the two of them into the private room.

A sharp light flashed in Pei Liyan’s eyes as he continued to observe the woman in the sapphire blue dress. The more he looked, the more he found her figure strangely familiar.

Qiao Rui, inexplicably feeling his gaze, frowned, glanced at him, and looked away.

Then, they entered the room next door.

After shutting the door, Song Muyu lowered her voice and asked Qiao Rui, "Pei Liyan and his friends are in the opposite room, aren’t they? There’s He Zheng, Fu Yichen, and one I didn’t see clearly, but they always seem to hang out together."

"Yes, I saw them," Qiao Rui nodded and instructed Song Muyu, "Remember, I’m not Qiao Rui here, call me Ruirui so you don’t get it wrong."

"Don’t worry, I’m well-trained," Song Muyu laughed. "I always get ’Ruirui’ right."

Rui from Qiao Rui, Rui from Rui Qing, Ruirui.

Qiao Rui also laughed.

She picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and started to set up the song she wanted to sing.

Song Muyu asked, "What will you drink?"

"Milk tea."

"Come on, you’re at KTV and you drink milk tea instead of alcohol?" Song Muyu couldn’t help but grumble, "Should I also drink milk tea with you?"

Qiao Rui said, "I’m supposed to be a plain Jane now. Drinking would give me away, plus I just moved into Pei Liyan’s place this evening, so I can’t drink."

"What? You moved into his place?" Song Muyu’s eyes widened in shock. "Are you kidding me?"

Qiao Rui was speechless. "I have my sell-my-granddaughter-for-fortune grandfather to thank for that, and rebellious Pei Liyan as well. It’s all thanks to them."

"Couldn’t you just refuse?" Song Muyu argued. "They tell you to live there, and you just go?"

Qiao Rui shrugged and blinked. "I wanted to stay there too."

"Pfft!" Song Muyu couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. "Did Pei Liyan’s good looks tempt you?"

Qiao Rui’s gaze deepened. "He’s very good-looking, but not as clean and chaste as the rumors say."

Song Muyu was taken aback, gritted her teeth, "Then just play him."

Qiao Rui glanced at Song Muyu. "Not interested."

Song Muyu, surprised, "Didn’t you sleep with him?"

Qiao Rui exasperated, "Can you stop bringing that up?"

"Fine." Song Muyu ordered milk tea for Qiao Rui, alcohol for herself, and after submitting the order, she lowered her voice and said to Qiao Rui, "By the way, I heard that jerk saying you’re a killjoy."

Qiao Rui was unconcerned. "Why do you care so much about him? I told you, stop bringing it up."

"I’m just curious," Song Muyu chuckled, then immediately put on a lewd expression. "Is Pei Liyan good in bed?"

Faced with her friend’s perverse curiosity, Qiao Rui countered, "What do you mean by good?"

Song Muyu winked and nudged. "Did he make you want to die from pleasure?"

Qiao Rui’s face warmed up, and after thinking carefully, she said seriously, "I did die, in a car crash on the cross-sea bridge, so I faked my death."

Song Muyu’s mouth fell open, utterly speechless. "Get lost, you know what I meant. Don’t play word games with me!"

"If you’re curious about dying from pleasure, find a man and try it yourself, don’t ask me, I’ve forgotten," Qiao Rui regretted coming out as Muyu dug deeper, making her feel uneasy.

"How could you forget, if I remember correctly, that was your first time," Song Muyu was about to probe more into the details when the door was pushed open.

Manager Jiang appeared at the door, and his eyes widened upon seeing the two of them. "Oh come on, you two are too provocative!"

He Zheng was just about to enter when he heard Pei Liyan’s voice in the hallway, "Manager Jiang, what a coincidence?"

Jiang Jinfeng turned around and saw Pei Liyan and He Zheng coming out from the next private room, almost as if they had come out specifically to greet him.

Jiang Jinfeng was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Pei, Mr. He, what a coincidence to meet you here."

Pei Liyan and He Zheng were also figures in the business world, and Jiang Jinfeng had long known that they were close friends.

Now, meeting them here, Jiang Jinfeng naturally greeted them politely and made small talk, all in the nature of a businessman.

Pei Liyan nodded slightly, standing at the doorway, and glanced meaningfully inside the room, his gaze colliding once again with Qiao Rui’s.

Qiao Rui pretended to be calm, deliberately avoiding his gaze, but she felt somewhat guilty inside.

She always thought that as a beautiful woman herself, if Pei Liyan were lecherous, he shouldn’t be focusing his attention solely on her.

But he was indeed looking at her.

Could he have noticed something?

Seeing Qiao Rui lower her eyes, Pei Liyan, unfazed, withdrew his gaze before saying to Jiang Jinfeng, "Manager Jiang, since we’ve met, why not join us?"

Jiang Jinfeng was taken aback, not expecting Pei Liyan to invite him.

But he wasn’t alone.

Moreover, he was quite worried that Pei Liyan might recognize Qiao Rui.

So, he quickly winked at Qiao Rui and Song Muyu, silently asking if they should join together?

Song Muyu glanced at Pei Liyan, feeling that since the man had spoken, he must have had a reason.

This man was very interested in beautiful women, especially Ruirui, could it be that he had discovered something?

Song Muyu thought that since the opposite party had a motive, it was necessary to probe and see if Pei Liyan had indeed recognized that Qiao Rui was Rui Qing.

Before Qiao Rui could respond, Song Muyu smiled and said, "Sure, let’s join them, it’ll be fun."

Qiao Rui felt as though they both enjoyed seeing the excitement without fearing the consequences; were they not afraid that Pei Liyan would recognize her?

These two troublemakers, she really had bad luck stepping out today.

"Yeah, let’s join." Jiang Jinfeng smiled, "Mr. Pei, please come in."

"We’ll be there in a bit," He Zheng smiled. "Manager Jiang, go ahead into the private room, President Pei and I will come shortly after."

"Alright," Jiang Jinfeng smiled, watching as Pei Liyan and He Zheng walked toward the end of the hallway, seemingly having matters to discuss.

Once they were far enough, Jiang Jinfeng entered the room, looking at them.

Song Muyu said to Qiao Rui, "We’ll meet him in a bit."

"What’s there to meet about?" Qiao Rui was speechless.

"It’s thrilling, you see. He suspects you, yet cannot recognize you, it’s killing him," Song Muyu whispered.

Qiao Rui rolled her eyes, speechless, "It seems like you want to expose me."

"We might as well test how solid your disguise is, and make improvements. If they recognize you, we’ll just silence them tonight," Song Muyu said.

Qiao Rui was speechless. "You’re all talk."

If she really were recognized, she would be the unlucky one, Qiao Rui didn’t want to tempt fate.

Seeing that she really didn’t want to go, Song Muyu once again gently persuaded, "Don’t you want to try and feel superior when he can’t recognize you right in front of him?"

Hearing this, Qiao Rui seriously considered it for a moment.

Jiang Jinfeng laughed and said, "Muyu, stop persuading Ruirui, careful she really starts thinking like that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Rui said, "I see now, you two just want to sacrifice me for some excitement."
