Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Acting Regression

Oh no!

The acting isn’t cutting it!

Qiao Rui sighed inwardly. Had her acting skills regressed, allowing Pei Liyan to see through her?

It was so unnatural, with clear traces of acting.

She turned her head back and could still feel Pei Liyan’s gaze on her back, sharp as a blade.

She didn’t look back, but saw Qiao Yufei quickly dressing herself.

Mrs. Feng said, "Miss Qiao, visiting someone’s home and taking off your clothes, what kind of behavior is that?"

Qiao Yufei’s face turned crimson, both embarrassed and flustered.

She had intended to seduce Pei Liyan unintentionally, but who could have imagined that Pei Liyan wouldn’t give her a chance?

This was nothing like the seduction techniques she had learned; aren’t men supposed to pounce at the mere flick of a finger?

Besides, Qiao Yufei believed she was quite attractive, both her face and body were top-notch.

But, he didn’t even give her a chance.

Such treatment was an insult to Qiao Yufei.

And to add to that.

Even if she was fully committed to seducing him, did he have to make it known to everyone?

Now, what about the face of Miss Qiao of the Qiao family?

Now she even had to deal with mockery from his household servants, Qiao Yufei was even more unable to swallow her pride.

She walked out of the bathroom.

Qiao Rui immediately stepped back, making way for Qiao Yufei.

Her face flushed, she purposefully bumped into Mrs. Feng.

Mrs. Feng wasn’t a pushover, seeing how aggressive Qiao Yufei was acting, she immediately bent her elbow and bumped right back into Qiao Yufei.

"Ouch!" Qiao Yufei sharply inhaled.

She glared angrily at Mrs. Feng.

Mrs. Feng spoke sternly, "Miss Qiao, our madam has already told you, you can’t enter the master’s room. Why didn’t you listen?"

Qiao Yufei furrowed her brows, "How was I supposed to know this was Pei Liyan’s room?"

"Even if you didn’t know, shouldn’t you follow basic etiquette when visiting someone’s home? You shouldn’t roam around randomly, yet you went into someone’s bedroom and took off your clothes. What were you really up to?"

"I just had an allergic reaction." Qiao Yufei had her own excuse, "I was itchy all over, naturally I had to go to the bathroom to check on it. How was I supposed to know your master would suddenly come in, see me naked, and then twist the situation around? What sense does that make?"

"Heh!" Mrs. Feng scoffed, "Twisting the situation around, Miss Qiao, you are truly unreasonable."

Qiao Rui didn’t utter a word, watching Mrs. Feng and Qiao Yufei argue.

"This was an accident, no need to make it sound so ugly," Qiao Yufei stated coldly.

Mrs. Feng sneered, "Fine, I don’t care about your situation, but you need to leave right now."

"I won’t leave!" Qiao Yufei declared, "My sister is the lady of the house, she hasn’t spoken yet. What right does a servant like you have to drive me away?"

"If Mrs. Feng can’t drive you away, perhaps I can?" Pei Liyan stood at the doorway, his face dark and cold as he spoke.

Qiao Yufei stiffened, looking up at Pei Liyan and pursing her lips. "Mr. Pei, it wasn’t intentional today, I just suddenly had an allergic reaction."

"Even if you suddenly died, what would that have to do with me?" Pei Liyan didn’t give Qiao Yufei any face.

She was taken aback, slightly embarrassed.

Looking at Qiao Rui, then back at Pei Liyan’s furious handsome face, she called out, "Qiao Rui."

Qiao Rui responded, "What is it, big sis?"

Qiao Yufei was stunned; she knew it, Qiao Rui was a fool.

She was calling her to help her speak up so she could stay, but Qiao Rui didn’t say a word, instead asking what she wanted.

She was infuriated.

Glaring harshly at Qiao Rui, she snapped, "What did you say?"

"Oh!" Qiao Rui’s face showed sudden realization. "Big sister, if Mr. Pei doesn’t want you staying here, there’s nothing I can do. Why don’t you go talk to Grandpa and have him persuade him?"

"Mrs. Feng, show our guest out!" Pei Liyan had completely run out of patience and issued the order to dismiss.

"Yes, sir!" Mrs. Feng looked at Qiao Yufei. "Miss Qiao, please."

Qiao Yufei felt aggrieved and stomped her foot in frustration, giving Pei Liyan a pitiful look.

It was as if she was begging the man to spare her one more glance.

But the look in Pei Liyan’s eyes was nothing but disdain.

Qiao Yufei’s thick skin could not endure any longer.

As she was leaving, she still grabbed Qiao Rui and pulled her towards the door.

Qiao Rui exclaimed in surprise as she was dragged. "Big sister, what are you doing?"

Qiao Yufei ignored her and continued to drag her towards the door.

As they passed by Pei Liyan, he reached out and firmly grasped Qiao Rui’s wrist, rescuing her from Qiao Yufei’s grip.

Because of the abrupt movement, Qiao Rui collided into his chest.

The familiar masculine scent reminded her of that night in the hotel.

The cold mint mixed with the unique scent of his hormones invaded Qiao Rui’s nostrils.

Had it not been for the special synthetic material mask on her face, her blush would have been obvious even to him.

She quickly stepped away from Pei Liyan’s chest and faced his handsome face.

He narrowed his eyes; during that moment, he seemed to have detected a peculiar yet familiar fragrance.

This scent didn’t bother him; in fact, it left him momentarily disoriented and infatuated.

He looked down at Qiao Rui in surprise.

Qiao Rui hurriedly averted her gaze and turned to Qiao Yufei. "Big sister, let me walk you out."

She quickly followed her.

Once downstairs, Qiao Yufei, feeling resentful about her failed attempt, turned her anger towards Qiao Rui. "Can’t you say something on my behalf?"

"Ah? What do you want me to say, big sister?" Qiao Rui countered. "Should I say you want to sleep with Pei Liyan and tell him to wait in bed for you?"

"Shut up! Who said that?" Qiao Yufei shouted.

"Don’t be embarrassed, big sister. It’s pretty obvious what you’re trying to do," Qiao Rui said.

"I am not!"

"I won’t laugh at you," Qiao Rui replied. "Now Mr. Pei has sent you away; there’s nothing I can do."

At that moment, Pei Liyan, standing on the stairs, had reached his limit and yelled at Qiao Rui.

"Qiao Rui, shut up."

Qiao Rui turned back and saw the man’s furious face.

Pei Liyan gave her a cold glance and instructed Mrs. Feng, "Mrs. Feng, you and Uncle Feng personally take her to the Qiao family and report everything that happened today to Elder Qiao."

"Yes!" Mrs. Feng quickly walked past him and, together with Uncle Feng, sent Qiao Yufei on her way.

Now only two people were left in the house.

Qiao Rui glanced at Pei Liyan and was just thinking about how to start a conversation when she heard him shout.

"Qiao Rui, get up here!"

Qiao Rui muttered, "I don’t know how to roll; maybe you should teach me!"

Pei Liyan glared.

Qiao Rui couldn’t help but giggle.

"You’re laughing?"

"Why shouldn’t I laugh? You’re a grown man; what’s there to be embarrassed about? Besides, it’s my big sister who got exposed, not you," Qiao Rui found the man quite amusing. "My sister gave you a free show; you made a profit!"
