Chapter 44: Chapter 44 A Feast for the Eyes

Was he flirting with her?

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, her ears flushing red as she quipped, "Well, then I can feast my eyes."

Pei Liyan glanced at her, his face unreadable, but his ears seemed to have reddened.

He stood up and took off his suit jacket, passing it to Qiao Rui.

Reluctantly, she took it, her mind grumbling, Wasn’t the bare bed beside them good enough?

Unfortunately, he was just so fussy.

Qiao Rui kept her expression calm, holding Pei Liyan’s suit jacket, not caring at all, thinking, if he dared to take it off, she dared to watch.

After Pei Liyan took off his suit jacket, he glanced over at Qiao Rui.

She was still watching, seemingly quite anticipative.

He paused slightly, then his hand moved to his belt buckle.

With a crisp snap, he actually unbuckled his belt.

Qiao Rui remained unfazed.

It was as if the two were competing.

Pei Liyan’s movements slowed down.

Internally amused, Qiao Rui thought, See, he was just talking, he wouldn’t dare do it.

Once she was sure of Pei Liyan’s reluctance, Qiao Rui urged him on, "Mr. Pei, hurry up, it must be uncomfortable wearing wet clothes, right?"

She even rushed him!

Pei Liyan swept a glance at Qiao Rui, perceiving that she was quite convinced he wouldn’t actually do it.

But who was Pei Liyan?

He had always been a man who liked to control the pace.

Naturally, he would control the pace now as well.

Thus, Pei Liyan’s slender fingers lightly flicked, and the belt buckle was undone.

Then, he truly did as he said.

Qiao Rui’s eyes widened, really?

This man really dared!

She secretly took a deep breath and reluctantly continued to watch.

The man gave a slight smile and handed his pants to Qiao Rui, wearing only boxers—which, of course, were larger than typical swimming trunks. No wonder he dared.

He must think he’s at a swimming pool!

Qiao Rui glanced at his well-proportioned legs and said, "Mr. Pei, why not take it all off?"

Pei Liyan raised an attractive eyebrow, asking, "Really want to see?"

"I do, Mr. Pei, if you don’t mind, I’d even like to snap a picture to sell your candid photos," Qiao Rui candidly said, "I believe my cousins would definitely love to see Mr. Pei’s ravishing photos."

Pei Liyan sat on the nearby stool, his sturdy, straight legs showing strong definition.

His hand rested on the table, exuding an utmost laziness and sensuality.

Then, he said, "You wish."

Qiao Rui chuckled, "Not as beautiful as Mr. Pei."

Pei Liyan also chuckled, observing the girl’s excited eyes, and teasingly said, "If you want to see, come take it off yourself!"

Qiao Rui paused, meeting Pei Liyan’s gaze and noticing the man mocking her, those deep eyes shimmering with intense flames, too sharp.

She smiled, "Forget it, I’m afraid Mr. Pei is too dazzling, it might hurt to look."

"You dare to tease me, yet you’re afraid of getting dazzled?" Pei Liyan retorted sharply.

Qiao Rui’s heart tightened, knowing the man had seen through her act, feeling quite annoyed inside, "I’m not scared, I’m just worried Mr. Pei might hit me."

"If you don’t wipe these pants for me, don’t expect them to dry."

Qiao Rui froze. Wasn’t he the one pulling her into idle chat?

She bowed her head, laying paper towels inside and outside Pei Liyan’s pants before vigorously twisting them, removing the tea fluid with the help of the towels.

The paper towels had grown moist, and the pants were almost dry.

Her skill was adept.

"Very good," said Pei Liyan with a smile, "You have a lot of life experience."

"It’s alright," Qiao Rui replied without looking up, continuing to change the towels in the same manner, three times, until the pants were about 80% dry.

She handed the pants to Pei Liyan, saying, "This is the best I can do, Mr. Pei. If you’re in a hurry, you should go home and change."

Pei Liyan reached out to take them, but the moment he took them, he grasped Qiao Rui’s wrist, yanked her forcefully, and pulled her into his embrace.

Qiao Rui, unprepared, was caught off guard and found herself sitting on Pei Liyan’s lap.

A scent, both familiar and strange, filled her nostrils; Pei Liyan also paused, recognizing the smell from somewhere.

Startled by the man’s sudden movement, Qiao Rui, in a flurry, tried to stand up, but in that moment, she felt the man’s tension.

She froze, her ears turning redder once again.

She could feel Pei Liyan’s physical response; such a reaction was unscientific.

Not only was Qiao Rui frightened, Pei Liyan himself felt it too.

He had intended to scare Qiao Rui, but ended up scaring himself.

He was actually attracted to Qiao Rui, this plain girl.

This surprise caused Pei Liyan’s handsome face to turn cold with shock and then flush with icy anger.

He glanced down at Qiao Rui, his eyes swimming with too many emotions to discern, and hoarsely said, "Go ask the Qiao family what it means when there’s nothing in this room."

Qiao Rui, taken aback, hurriedly replied, "So I just say you ordered it?"

"Whatever you like!" He helped her to her feet.

He didn’t plan to bring up the violent yanking again.

Qiao Rui quickly rose, walked to the door, and as she opened it, saw Qiao Xiang.

Qiao Rui paused, noticing the small, exquisite box in Qiao Xiang’s hand, seemingly containing a set of clothes.

Qiao Rui understood these were prepared by Qiao Xiang for Pei Liyan.

She smiled slightly and greeted, "Big sister."

Qiao Xiang glanced at Qiao Rui. This sixth sister was plain, even ugly, she thought, definitely not a match for her.

But Pei Liyan had chosen her.

Although Qiao Xiang knew it certainly wasn’t for love, she still felt that Pei Liyan choosing her had to be intentional.

After inspecting Qiao Rui from head to toe, and with a smile, she said, "Sixth sister, I’ve prepared clothes for Liyan according to his measurements."

Qiao Rui looked at her, knowing the man in the room was not yet dressed properly. Failing to act could probably make Pei Liyan angry.

But not letting her in wouldn’t cause any drama.

Qiao Rui’s eyes flashed mischievously, and she deliberately raised her voice, "Thank you, big sister, for preparing clothes for Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei, would you like to change?"

Just then, Pei Liyan’s deep voice came through, "No need, my clothes are dry!"

Qiao Rui smiled towards Qiao Xiang, who presumably must have heard.

Qiao Xiang looked inside, no intention of leaving, still smiling.

Qiao Rui knew Qiao Xiang wouldn’t leave.

She wouldn’t rest until she achieved her ends.

She smiled again. "Big sister, I have to go see grandfather."

She closed the door, and Qiao Xiang’s eyes narrowed, watching Qiao Rui leave.

The audacious girl, daring to close the door on her.

As soon as Qiao Rui was gone, Qiao Xiang opened the door and strode right in.

Pei Liyan had just pulled up his pants when he saw Qiao Xiang walking in, holding an exquisite box.
