Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Want This Woman

Pei Liyan was suddenly embraced by the girl, her face so close to his, inhaling sweetly beside his cheek.

He had thought he would be repulsed, but the scent on the girl’s body was strangely familiar.

Moreover, instead of disgust, he felt a small sense of anticipation.

Such feelings left Pei Liyan somewhat perplexed and even somewhat disdainful of himself.

And the girl’s hands were freely roaming over his body, greedy in their exploration.

Pei Liyan turned his head to glance at Qiao Rui, unconsciously reminded of last night, in Liancheng, being this close to Ruirui.

Then, the girl’s hands were just as provocative.

Now, the woman before him had become his wife.

He frowned slightly, a cunning light flashed through his eyes, as he reached out to grasp Qiao Rui’s wrist.

Qiao Rui was startled.

The reason she did this was to provoke disgust in the man, to then comply with her wishes and sign the divorce agreement.

But the man’s strong hand gripped her wrist tightly, his gaze fixed on her.

Qiao Rui immediately felt somewhat awkward.

At this moment, their bodies were pressed together, sitting on the couch, their movements suggestive.

Qiao Rui’s heartbeat accelerated, as if it might burst from her chest.

The man’s slightly chilling breath swept across her cheek.

Qiao Rui’s gaze fell on the man’s slender neck, the clear outline of his muscles partially hidden and partially visible, her ears so red they seemed about to bleed.

"Are you really afraid of falling in love with me?" Pei Liyan’s voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of huskiness, very clear.

Qiao Rui felt pressured by his breath, sweat beginning to form in her palms.

Yet, the man’s words made her feel even more guilty.

She nodded slightly. "Yes, I’m very afraid."

"So you’re saying, I’m the kind of man that women can easily fall in love with?"

Qiao Rui was taken aback and said, "Of course, Mr. Pei is indeed a paragon among men."

"But you seem very resistant," Pei Liyan stared at her, word by word, "And, you are clearly lying!"

Qiao Rui’s eyes dodged, denying adamantly. "I’m not lying, I’m just afraid of falling in love with you!"

To prove her innocence, she forced herself to look up at the man, meeting his gaze squarely without any evasion.

Pei Liyan clearly saw her red ears and the flicker of avoidance in her eyes, smiled slightly, and brought his handsome face closer.

Qiao Rui suppressed the urge to slap him and closed her eyes.

But inside, she felt extremely uneasy.

She knew the chances of divorce were slim, but there was still a way out; she at least had to discuss terms with Pei Liyan.

The old photograph in his grandfather’s safe, Qiao Rui wanted to see it.

She would not miss any chance to find her brother.

Pei Liyan’s other hand cradled her face, studying the girl intently, her features unwittingly overlapping with the girl from last night.

Then, a flicker of doubt crossed the dark depths of the man’s eyes, and suddenly, on an impulse, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Their lips met, and Qiao Rui’s eyes widened: "You, mmh......."

She hadn’t expected Pei Liyan to kiss her.

They had kissed last night, and now again!

Last night she was Ruirui, and even though she knew what was going on, as far as Pei Liyan was concerned, he didn’t know.

How could he just kiss a woman so casually!

Qiao Rui was kissed by him then, her heart in turmoil, her mind a complete blank.

His thumb gently caressed her chin, his lips beginning to claim hers.

Annoyance and outrage made Qiao Rui’s heart restless, she couldn’t take it anymore and directly resisted.

The man seemed to have sensed something, suddenly flipped over, pinning her beneath him.

On the couch, Qiao Rui was dumbfounded, looking up at the man on top of her, her eyes widened in shock.

Pei Liyan was equally astonished.

Because he had proven once again, he did indeed feel strongly for Qiao Rui.

A very intense, primal desire drove him to want this woman.

It was somewhat frightening.

Pei Liyan was also scared by this impulse.

In a moment of astonishment, both of them froze.

Pei Liyan looked down at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui also widened her eyes at him, and then she quickly came to her senses and cursed, "You, you beast!"

He actually felt something.

He had said before that he rarely felt anything for women.

Liar.

Indeed, it is better to believe in ghosts than to trust a man’s broken words.

Pei Liyan’s brows were also tightly knit, slightly embarrassed, but he quickly composed himself and looked at Qiao Rui with indifferent eyes, "Scared?"

Scared my foot!

She was just a bit annoyed.

"Is it that any woman can elicit such a reaction from you?" Qiao Rui asked irritably.

Pei Liyan felt his dignity had been offended.

This was clearly an insult.

So, he said in a deep voice, "Of course not."

Qiao Rui pursed her lips, "You think I’ll believe you just because you say so?"

What was her attitude?

Were his words so hard to believe?

"Don’t you really think I’m such a man without any scruples?"

Qiao Rui, as if she had heard the funniest joke ever, widened her eyes and said, "Since when is Mr. Pei a man of principle?"

Obviously, he wasn’t.

He frowned. "I am definitely not that casual."

Qiao Rui scoffed, "You just kissed me, isn’t that casual enough?"

"At least not with you," Pei Liyan said solemnly, "Don’t forget, you are my wife."

Qiao Rui was suddenly left speechless.

She paused, then after a long while, her face flushed as she said, "Anyway, you’re just a casual man."

"You speak as if you weren’t a woman who flung herself at me," Pei Liyan retorted irritably.

Qiao Rui was rendered speechless.

Yeah, she had taken the initiative.

But that was just a stopgap.

Naturally, Qiao Rui wouldn’t let Pei Liyan have the last word.

She quickly countered, "We are talking about your casualness now, not mine at all, don’t try to shift the problem onto me, don’t think you can lead me by the nose like that."

Pei Liyan saw her quick reaction, a smile curling at the corner of his lips, amusement in his eyes. "I received the divorce agreement, but this marriage can’t be ended."

"Why?" Qiao Rui instinctively asked.

Pei Liyan’s eyes were much deeper now, his words laced with a chill, "You’re making a fuss about divorcing, but you don’t really intend to divorce, do you?"

"How could I not?" Qiao Rui immediately shook her head. "I do want a divorce."

"Not looking for your brother anymore?" Pei Liyan asked again.

Qiao Rui was speechless.

Pei Liyan continued, "There are many old photos in the safe of the ancestral home, your clamoring for a divorce is also aimed at that, isn’t it?"

Qiao Rui shook her head again. "I really do want to see the photos in your grandfather’s safe, but these two things really can’t be linked together!"

"I can fulfill this wish of yours, consider it my compensation to you, since you were left hungry in the secret room for three days."

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, her eyes lighting up, "You, would be so kind as to show me?"
