Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Picking Up My Delicate Wife After Work

When Qiao Rui arrived downstairs, Pei Liyan was already waiting there, while the Qiao Family was busy keeping a few journalists at bay.

They were taking photos of Pei Liyan.

As soon as Qiao Rui got down, Pei Liyan immediately blocked the journalists’ line of sight and cameras.

He looked at Qiao Rui and said softly, "You should have let me go up. We could have gone to the parking lot directly and taken the car."

"It’s okay." Qiao Rui laughed and said, "With you blocking them, they didn’t manage to get a shot of me. Besides, if you go up, it would waste time. It’s better for me to come down and leave straight away."

Pei Liyan smiled indulgently and said, "You’re right about that."

At this point, the journalists wanted to capture Qiao Rui, but were obstructed, only able to photograph the tall figure of Pei Liyan shielding the slender Qiao Rui in his arms.

The two of them walked towards the elevator together, followed closely by their assistants, Si Ran and Fang Mo. Gai Yin helped escort them out as well.

Thus, the news headlines read:

The Pei Family president personally goes to pick up his lovely wife from the Qiao Family after work.

The new good man, Pei Liyan, goes to Qiao Family to pick up Qiao Rui after work.

The romantic marriage of President Pei and Miss Qiao Liu.

...

The news wants to report, but none of them captured Qiao Rui’s face.

In the car.

Pei Liyan looked at Qiao Rui beside him and began, "Today, did you discuss collaborations with the Huo Family and He Family?"

"Yes." Qiao Rui nodded and glanced at him, complaining, "I’ve been talking work all day. After work, can’t we just not talk about work anymore?"

"Just give me five more minutes." Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, "I think, since you gave Huo Family and He Family the opportunity to collaborate, shouldn’t you also give me the opportunity to collaborate?"

"You?" Qiao Rui was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, "President Pei, can’t we be like this? We’re already together privately, having to be together for work too. Honestly, you don’t have to help me, I can handle it."

"Don’t you want both private life and work to be with me?" Pei Liyan felt a bit uncomfortable hearing her complaint.

Qiao Rui looked at his serious and stern expression and was truly convinced by him, responding, "You’re so serious, it’s really scary."

"Tell me, do you want it or not?" Pei Liyan persistently asked.

Qiao Rui nodded earnestly. "I don’t want it."

Pei Liyan immediately frowned.

Qiao Rui laughed again, "Don’t get angry, it’s just that I feel, distance brings beauty."

"Then consider it as giving me a piece of the pie." Pei Liyan said helplessly, "After all, business is about making profits. I think I can gain a lot from you."

"Thanks, President Pei, for thinking so highly of me, but I believe it’s best if we don’t talk about work." Qiao Rui saw his very serious look, insisting on collaborating with her, and found it quite amusing.

"That’s not acceptable." Pei Liyan said, "You can’t underestimate the Pei Family."

"You’re misunderstanding." Qiao Rui also admired the man’s imagination, looking at Pei Liyan with helplessness, "I don’t mean to belittle the Pei Family, it’s just that you guys are taking care of us."

"Huo Family, He Family, are already collaborating with you, why can’t I?" Pei Liyan asked righteously, "Tell me, what’s lacking in Pei Family?"

"They’re too good, that’s why I don’t want to collaborate." Qiao Rui said calmly, "You should know, I mean, you guys take care of me so much that I can’t show my true capabilities."

"I think you just don’t want me to know too much?" Pei Liyan looked at Qiao Rui with an eagle-like gaze, his eyes sharp, as if probing for something.

Qiao Rui froze for a moment, meeting his intense gaze, and said, "What do you mean by not wanting you to know too much?"

"You know." Pei Liyan looked at her with a half-smile, "You don’t want me to know too many of your secrets."

Qiao Rui laughed, "My Mr. Pei, you might as well write novels, you seem a lot like a writer."

"Then it’s settled, tomorrow morning I’ll bring my assistant and department manager to your Qiao Family to discuss collaboration intentions." Pei Liyan made a decisive decision.

Qiao Rui suddenly felt very helpless, "You’re too domineering, isn’t this supposed to be a cooperation, this clearly feels like a domineering president’s coercion."

"Isn’t that great?" Pei Liyan said with a smile, "Our cooperation is also a matter of two strong forces joining together."

"Indeed, two strong forces joining together." Qiao Rui said with great helplessness, "It’s just that you’re too powerful. Suddenly coming to collaborate with me, it always feels like I’m relying on your connections."

"Haven’t you always kept a low profile? Do you still care about that?" Pei Liyan continued to coax, "I’m helping you block the storm at the forefront, isn’t that great?"

"Actually, having you as the powerful president, I indeed save a lot of hassle. If the media knows Pei Family is collaborating with our Qiao Family, the previous projects can probably be restarted."

"Isn’t that great?" Pei Liyan asked, "You can also achieve success early on and retire."

Qiao Rui laughed, "How do you know I will definitely achieve success and retire?"

"Don’t you want to devote yourself fully to Qiao Family until the end?" Pei Liyan felt that after Qiao Rui joined the Qiao Family, she really treated it as her career.

He thinks this could be not a very good decision for both Qiao Rui and himself moving forward.

"That’s not true." Qiao Rui glanced at his serious expression and said honestly, "I just don’t know when to leave. Certainly, I will talk about leaving at the right time, definitely not now."

After all, they have just seen a bit of progress and haven’t reorganized well yet, how could they leave now?

If she leaves, the Qiao Family would crumble instantly.

"Certainly not the time to leave now, I’m worried about you staying long-term at the Qiao Family." Pei Liyan voiced his concern, "Treating the Qiao Family as everything."

"That’s not the case." Qiao Rui said again, "I can distinguish between public and private matters, but Mr. Pei, you seem to have trouble distinguishing between them now."

Gai Yin, driving in front, also couldn’t help but chuckle.

This time, Pei Liyan was riding in Qiao Rui’s car.

Gai Yin was driving.

Fang Mo and Si Ran were following behind.

Pei Liyan was teased by Qiao Rui, losing his principles, and said, "You can say whatever you want, anyway, I’m going to the Qiao Family tomorrow to discuss cooperation, not discussing work today."

Qiao Rui laughed too, considering it Pei Liyan’s concession.

But who would proactively insist on cooperation like this, it’s just too domineering.

"By the way, are we going to He Zheng’s place now?" Qiao Rui also changed the topic, no longer talking business.

"Going to his residence, not his home." Pei Liyan said, "He lives separately from his parents."

"That’s what I meant." Qiao Rui said, "If it’s going to his parents’ house, then forget it."

"Are you afraid?" Pei Liyan asked with a smile.

"Not afraid, just a hassle." Qiao Rui shrugged and laughed.

"He Zheng wants to pursue Si Ran." Pei Liyan did not hide He Zheng’s intention. "This counts as helping him create an opportunity."

Qiao Rui was stunned, "Did he inform you?"

Pei Liyan nodded.

"That’s quite sincere." Qiao Rui had long seen through He Zheng’s intention towards Si Ran, only Si Ran kept avoiding it. Now this also counts as officially pursuing her, which is quite nice.

The car soon arrived at He Zheng’s house.

When Qiao Rui and others got out from the front, Si Ran and Fang Mo also got out.

He Zheng stood at the villa door to welcome them, his eyes smiling, looking around. When he saw Si Ran, he said playfully, "Welcome everyone to my humble abode."

Si Ran was dumbstruck, whispering to Fang Mo, "Weren’t we working overtime? Why did we end up at President He’s house?"
