Chapter 62: Chapter 62: I’ll Meet Mr. Pei

Pei Liyan paused slightly, remembering the time he had demanded Qiao Rui to keep her promise at the hotel room doorway.

Now that Qiao Rui had suddenly brought it up, Pei Liyan squinted his eyes and said, "Does Miss Rui think it still counts?"

"It seems Mr. Pei was the first one who failed to keep the promise," Qiao Rui gently reminded him.

Pei Liyan’s gaze flickered, "I believe I only agreed not to hit him at the doorway of the room, I didn’t promise anything about other places."

Qiao Rui was stunned, then suddenly laughed. "It seems Mr. Pei is a negotiation expert, very good at finding loopholes. On this point, I really can’t agree."

Pei Liyan just smiled, appearing to have no regrets about it. "Miss Rui, since I have laid hands on Huo Sinan and do not regret it, whether you will keep your promise is up to you, I will not force it."

Qiao Rui helped Huo Sinan up and sarcastically said to Pei Liyan, "Bullying the weak, Mr. Pei is truly formidable."

Pei Liyan paused.

Huo Sinan also paused, "I’m not weak."

Qiao Rui didn’t bother with him, and simply said to Lei Ting, "Mr. Lei, please help Huo Sinan to the side, I will deal with Mr. Pei."

Everyone was stunned.

Song Muyu was also shocked; having seen Pei Liyan take action, she knew that Pei Liyan was a top-notch expert.

If Qiao Rui really fought him, she might not have an advantage.

She couldn’t help but worry, especially afraid that Qiao Rui, fighting a man, might be at a disadvantage.

"Ruirui," Song Muyu shook her head at her.

Today, Qiao Rui must have been provoked by Pei Liyan; since returning to the Qiao family, she had been feeling suffocated.

Now, seeing Pei Liyan openly bullying Huo Sinan, rendering him unable to fight back, the anger in her surged.

She wanted to take action, and couldn’t hold back anymore.

Especially now, she was somewhat infuriated by Pei Liyan’s arrogant demeanor.

Even though that face was exceptionally handsome and rare, she couldn’t bear it anymore.

She wanted to fight, to exchange blows with him.

"Muyu, you move aside too," Qiao Rui spoke coldly.

Song Muyu immediately stepped back.

Usually, when Qiao Rui spoke like this, it would unconsciously make people submit.

Qiao Rui’s icy gaze turned to Pei Liyan, narrowing sharply as she said, "I wonder if Mr. Pei dares to exchange blows with me?"

From earlier on, Pei Liyan had been stunned by Qiao Rui’s words.

This girl was actually provoking him, wanting to fight him, had he heard wrong?

It wasn’t until Qiao Rui spoke a second time that he realized, this girl really meant to fight.

Was she standing up for Huo Sinan?

Huo Sinan grew even more annoyed; he hadn’t expected a girl to stand up for him, bringing disgrace to his manhood instantly.

It was utterly embarrassing.

Huo Sinan immediately shouted, "Ruirui, don’t fight him!"

Qiao Rui looked at the frantic Huo Sinan, smiled faintly, and reassured him, "Mr. Huo, don’t worry, I’m not as weak as you."

That comment left Huo Sinan speechless.

Qiao Rui turned to Pei Liyan again, not giving Pei Liyan a chance to refuse. She smiled faintly and said, "Since Mr. Pei loves to fight so much, why don’t we have a round? I’m also feeling an itch."

The moment she finished speaking, her fist flew towards Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan squinted, and as Qiao Rui’s fist was about to strike his cheek, he shifted his body to the side, dodging the punch.

But, that punch Qiao Rui gave was merely a distraction, her main move targeted Pei Liyan’s lower body.

Qiao Rui’s seemingly frail body, in the moment of the punch, carried a burst of fierce energy, making her strike not to be underestimated.

She bent her legs and bumped her knee close against Pei Liyan’s leg, even pushing the man back a step.

Pei Liyan’s heart skipped a beat; he was somewhat shocked, not expecting the girl to be so formidable right off the bat.

Meanwhile, Qiao Rui didn’t stay idle; her body moved swiftly as she threw another punch toward Pei Liyan’s face.

Pei Liyan thought this was another feint, so he guarded his lower body in case Qiao Rui launched a sudden attack.

But as Qiao Rui’s fist struck, another punch targeted Pei Liyan’s chin.

The punches alternated, the movements exceptionally fast.

The second punch actually landed on Pei Liyan’s chin.

Pei Liyan was slightly stunned.

Huo Sinan and Lei Ting were also extremely surprised.

None of them had expected that such a frail-looking girl could grapple with a man as tall as Pei Liyan, seemingly matching him in strength.

Fang Mo was also shocked, his eyes wide as he watched the scene unfold.

Song Muyu swallowed, feeling a bit excited.

It seemed like a long time since she had seen Qiao Rui fight, and it was truly thrilling.

The two close encounters had made Pei Liyan take Qiao Rui seriously.

He swung a tremendously powerful punch, targeting Qiao Rui’s shoulder.

Qiao Rui didn’t dodge; instead, her slim figure moved to meet Pei Liyan’s punch. As she came close, she swiftly sidestepped and kicked the nearby wall powerfully, using the rebound to somersault toward Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan’s punch missed.

He paused slightly, stunned.

In the next second, Qiao Rui had landed a punch on his shoulder.

Despite being slim and her fists small, the punch on his shoulder made Pei Liyan gasp in pain.

It really hurt.

The girl’s explosive power was indeed strong, and the force of her punch was shocking.

He squinted slightly, suddenly keen to see what she would do next.

So, after taking Qiao Rui’s punch, Pei Liyan didn’t prepare to guard himself but let Qiao Rui continue.

Following her punch, she took advantage of an opening to execute a chokehold, pressing two fingers against Pei Liyan’s Adam’s apple.

Pei Liyan’s expression remained calm, as he suddenly gave a slight smile and praised, "Good!"

Qiao Rui frowned slightly.

She knew that Pei Liyan had given in.

He hadn’t used his full strength and hadn’t resisted just now.

Was this his way of tactically retreating?

The man was giving her a way out.

But this didn’t conform to the spirit of combat.

It seemed like she had won, but Qiao Rui felt no satisfaction in her victory.

Her fingers pressing on the man’s Adam’s apple, she suddenly had a fleeting desire to twist and break his neck to see if he would dare to be so arrogant.

But this was just a momentary thought, and reason ultimately prevailed over the impulse. Qiao Rui released Pei Liyan and gave him a cold look.

Pei Liyan smiled faintly, meeting Qiao Rui’s gaze, sensing the murderous flash in her eyes, but ultimately she gave up.

Pei Liyan suddenly felt that this girl harbored a significant animosity toward him, and he couldn’t understand why.

Pei Liyan slightly furrowed his brow, driven by even more interest.

He became somewhat curious about what precisely made this girl oppose him so. Was it just to defend Huo Sinan?
