Chapter 404: Chapter 404 This Fire Play Has Gotten a Bit Out of Hand

Pei Liyan’s expression turned serious, slightly surprised. "You handled the old man too?"

"What else could I do if I didn’t?" Qiao Rui said, "As people get older, they become more scheming, full of tricks. If I let him continue causing trouble outside, if he’s inside, he won’t have the energy to stir up trouble."

Pei Liyan couldn’t argue, he simply said, "When do you plan to let him in?"

"Let him jump around for one more day, let’s see tomorrow, I said there’s no rush." Qiao Rui shoved another chip into Pei Liyan’s mouth. "Are you happy today?"

With the chip in his mouth, Pei Liyan shook his head. "Not happy at all."

"Why not?" Qiao Rui said with a smile, "I feel pretty happy."

"I’ve been worried sick, how could I be happy?" Pei Liyan looked at Qiao Rui helplessly, "Stop feeding me chips, I don’t want to eat anymore."

"How about this?" Qiao Rui bit into a chip, leaned in close to the man’s lips, and let the other side of the chip touch his lips.

Pei Liyan was stunned, opened his mouth to take the chip, and said, "You’re playing with fire too much. Don’t think this will distract me."

Qiao Rui giggled, leaned forward, her lips pressed lightly on his, then she sat back on the sofa, "You know, if you worry too much, you’ll age quickly."

"You seem so confident, I’m kept in the dark like a fool!" Pei Liyan protested, "Why not tell me your plans so I’m aware and not so worried."

"Didn’t I just tell you earlier?" Qiao Rui said, "Next up is Lin Qingshi."

"You know what I mean; I want the specific plan," Pei Liyan stared at her, "in detail."

"I haven’t developed one yet; I always go one step at a time." Qiao Rui said, "Actually, it’s all up to him, see, if he had returned the Qiao Family’s money, I wouldn’t have taken action again. But he didn’t, so I have no choice, everything is just forcing my hand."

Pei Liyan looked at Qiao Rui, amused yet exasperated, "You put someone in and still talk so innocently."

"I truly am innocent, I didn’t originally plan to put him in, but he insisted on going in, what could I do?" Qiao Rui shrugged. "Just saying, the Lin Family is like a Pixiu, takes in but never lets out, only eats without excreting."

"Cough cough!" Pei Liyan choked a bit, almost gagging.

Qiao Rui reached out to pat his back, "Hey, don’t be so jumpy, stay calm."

Pei Liyan grabbed Qiao Rui’s hand and pulled her into his arms, catching her off guard as she fell into his embrace, and he hugged her tightly.

His breath surrounded her, almost dizzying.

"I still want to eat chips..."

"Go ahead and eat." Pei Liyan said this, but didn’t release his grip, holding Qiao Rui’s slender waist tightly.

How could she eat when he’s holding her like this?

Qiao Rui struggled, moving around in his arms several times.

As a result, she provoked Pei Liyan into a dangerous mood.

She laughed mischievously, "Mr. Pei, you’re so easy to tease, huh?"

Pei Liyan’s other hand gently touched Qiao Rui’s face. Through his palm, Qiao Rui could clearly feel the warmth in his hand, meeting his deep eyes.

Pei Liyan said, "Last night you weren’t home, I let it slide. But now that you’re back, shouldn’t you make it up to me?"

"Why should I make it up to you?" Qiao Rui huffed lightly, "While I wasn’t home, you had the whole bed to yourself, no one to steal the covers."

Pei Liyan frowned slightly. "So you know your sleeping posture isn’t that great, huh?"

"Of course." Qiao Rui said with a smile, "My sleeping posture isn’t good, so, since I wasn’t home yesterday, you should thank me for letting you have a good night’s sleep."

"Oh, I really have to thank you!" Pei Liyan gritted his teeth, his voice filled with mock threat.

Qiao Rui burst into laughter, and shoved another chip into the man’s mouth.

This time, however, the man took the chip and kissed her directly.

"No!" Qiao Rui cried, but the man had already lifted her up, heading upstairs.

Mrs. Feng happened to come in to bring them fruit, but at a glance, saw Pei Liyan carrying Qiao Rui upstairs.

Mrs. Feng was startled and quickly turned to leave, but a smile lingered on her lips.

Uncle Feng saw this, and immediately asked, "What happened? Weren’t you taking fruit up?"

"Just came in, and saw the young couple going upstairs." Mrs. Feng gave a knowing smile.

Uncle Feng instantly understood. "You should be more observant in the future."

"Yes, I must be more observant from now on." Mrs. Feng laughed, relieved, "Seeing the young couple like that, I can finally relax."

The two of them exchanged smiles and quickly walked away.

Pei Liyan carried Qiao Rui upstairs and placed her on the large bed in the master bedroom.

As he leaned down, Qiao Rui shivered slightly and whispered, "I still want to watch the news."

"Watch it later!" Pei Liyan lowered his head, the intense warmth almost setting them both ablaze.

Just then, the phone rang.

Qiao Rui laughed, "See, tonight’s really busy, how could there be time for anything else!"

Pei Liyan was also speechless, realizing tonight indeed wasn’t suitable for anything else.

He stood up, letting her answer the phone.

Qiao Rui glanced at Pei Liyan; it was a call she had to take, so she turned the volume down low so only she could hear.

On the other end, Huang Ying said, "Young Master, originally Lin Tiancheng hired someone to do it, but after he was taken away tonight, the Lin Family’s old man personally found someone and got to Yu Shu."

"Ha!" Qiao Rui laughed again, "Such a coincidence?"

"Yes." Huang Ying laughed along, "Yu Shu called me earlier, he was afraid of bothering you, so he didn’t dare contact you."

"Tell him to take the job." Qiao Rui smiled, "Make sure to keep evidence."

"Understood."

Huang Ying quickly hung up the phone.

Qiao Rui looked up to see Pei Liyan was watching her, his gaze deep and intriguing.

Qiao Rui raised an eyebrow, struck a pose, and winked at him. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I’m wondering who you really are." Pei Liyan smiled wryly.

Previously, he suspected she was Ruirui, and to this day, there was no solid evidence proving they were the same person.

And yet, she was so formidable.

Just as Qiao Rui was about to speak, the phone rang again.

This time, it was Jiang Jinfeng calling.

She glanced at Pei Liyan again, meeting his deep gaze, feeling this couldn’t go on.

Tonight there would definitely be many calls.

Qiao Rui’s eyes twinkled as she thought of a solution, then heard the man say seriously, "Answer your call, I’ll go downstairs and bring some fruit up for you."
