Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Mr. Pei is a Lustful Man

"Mr. Pei, what brings you here, knocking at my door so late at night?" When Qiao Rui saw he wasn’t speaking and was unabashedly sizing her up, she couldn’t help but get a bit angry, and her tone sank.

Pei Liyan came back to his senses, smiled indifferently, and said, "Nothing much, just wanted to ask if Miss Rui has any plans for tomorrow?"

Qiao Rui’s expression remained calm, "Mr. Pei, my plans have nothing to do with you, it seems."

It was rumored in Qingcheng that Pei Liyan was unwelcoming to strangers, especially women, who couldn’t get close to him.

Now that Qiao Rui, with her three identities, was proactively approached by him, she couldn’t help but suspect he wasn’t the chaste man the rumors made him out to be.

In fact, Qiao Rui thought that this man was simply a lecher.

Feeling the girl’s discourtesy, Pei Liyan met her bright eyes. His dark eyes were devoid of emotion, icy and detached, but they conveyed an impatience.

Pei Liyan’s eyes half-closed, already displeased.

Since when did he need a girl to look at him coldly like this? Were it not for some odd suspicions, he wouldn’t have come knocking on a girl’s door in the middle of the night.

"It seems I’ve overestimated myself, thinking that if Miss Rui didn’t have other plans tomorrow, we might take a walk together."

"Thanks, but I’m busy," Qiao Rui said.

Pei Liyan nodded, his tone also cooling, "Alright, I’ll leave you to it then."

With that, he turned and went back to his room.

Qiao Rui also sensed Pei Liyan’s mood.

She felt it was all so absurd and slammed the door shut with a bang.

Pei Liyan frowned slightly and also shut the door with a bang.

The next morning.

Qiao Rui and Song Muyu took Little Xingxing down to the buffet restaurant for breakfast.

Huo Sinan’s face had less swelling, but one could tell he’d been roughed up.

Seeing him like this, Song Muyu couldn’t help but laugh.

Little Xingxing immediately asked curiously, "Auntie Song, are you laughing at my daddy?"

Huo Sinan immediately looked toward Song Muyu.

Song Muyu’s expression froze, and in front of the child, she really couldn’t make him sad, especially since that was his father, so she quickly shook her head. "No, it’s just that I suddenly remembered something amusing."

But Little Xingxing didn’t believe her; he was a smart kid.

"Telling lies will make your nose grow long, just like Pinocchio," he said.

Song Muyu instantly looked disheartened. "Sweetie, you’re so clever that you leave your auntie speechless."

At this, Qiao Rui couldn’t hold back her laughter.

It was the first time to see Song Muyu at a loss, and it was priceless.

Song Muyu was so helpless.

Qiao Rui laughed even more joyfully.

She didn’t usually smile much, but when she did, her face was so expressive and stunningly beautiful that it took one’s breath away.

On the other side of the restaurant, unbeknownst to Qiao Rui, Pei Liyan was having breakfast with a few others beside a pillar.

It looked like they had been summoned by the hotel early in the morning since it was breakfast time, which meant they were dining together in the buffet restaurant.

His gaze listless, he didn’t seem too interested in listening to what the others were saying, but as he looked around the restaurant, his eyes inadvertently swept over that breathtakingly beautiful smiling face, and he was momentarily stunned.

"President Pei?" The person seated across from him had been speaking but noticing Pei Liyan wasn’t responding, quickly called out.

"Mhm, I’m listening, please continue," Pei Liyan replied softly, still looking in Qiao Rui’s direction.

Her smile was particularly beautiful, pure yet seductive, with a special charm that implied a worldliness.

Suddenly, Qiao Rui sensed something, and her eyes shot up, catching sight of Pei Liyan’s chiseled handsome features.

Even from a distance, she could feel his gaze upon her.

Qiao Rui’s brow furrowed slightly as she unobtrusively reined in her smile.

Pei Liyan also withdrew his gaze in a measured way, continuing to discuss matters with the person opposite him.

As if the previous moment had never occurred, he made it appear as natural as if he had never looked at Qiao Rui at all.

Qiao Rui had not expected Pei Liyan to come down for breakfast.

She had always presumed that a man as noble as Pei Liyan would be one to wait in his hotel room for breakfast to be delivered.

Seems she couldn’t escape such clichéd thoughts herself.

"Mommy, I want to sit with you," Little Xingxing’s tender voice rose, and his little body moved to Qiao Rui’s side, insisting on climbing onto her lap to eat.

Qiao Rui was very fond of the child, and picking up the little one, she let him sit on her lap and helped him with his food.

Pei Liyan glanced at Qiao Rui again, and when he saw her feeding the child, his brows involuntarily rose.

Huo Sinan spoke in a stern voice, "Little Xingxing, come down."

"No," the little one protested with cheeks puffed out, shaking his head.

Huo Sinan decisively went over, lifted the little boy from the seat, and said to him, "You little chub weigh nearly thirty pounds, you’re heavy."

Little Xingxing murmured in protest, "Daddy, is it because you like to nose around that you got beaten up?"

Huo Sinan: "...."

Qiao Rui wanted to laugh, but felt that teaching the child was a very serious matter.

The child’s principles needed to be right, so she held back her laughter and said to Little Xingxing, "Little Xingxing, your daddy is already very unlucky, you, as his son, should feel sorry for him. How can you say such cold words?"

Little Xingxing suddenly looked wronged, glanced at Qiao Rui, and with innocent, wide eyes, he asked, "Shouldn’t Mommy be the one to feel more sorry for daddy?"

Qiao Rui and Huo Sinan were both taken aback.

Lei Ting and Song Muyu couldn’t hold back their laughter.

"Ha ha ha!"

The scene was genuinely hilarious.

To outsiders, this was a happy family of three.

Qiao Rui, of course, didn’t stoop to the child’s level and, smiling, said, "I do sympathize with your daddy’s plight."

"Don’t you feel sorry for him?" Little Xingxing continued to nitpick; the world of a child is so pure that they demanded clarity on right and wrong.

Huo Sinan begrudgingly settled the child back on the child’s seat and returned to his own seat, stealing glances at Qiao Rui.

He too was looking forward to Qiao Rui’s response.

Qiao Rui told Little Xingxing, "Your daddy needs your sympathy more."

Little Xingxing paused, then turned to ask Huo Sinan, "Daddy, Daddy, is what Mommy said right?"

Huo Sinan’s eyes betrayed his awkwardness, and his expression was elusive as he looked at Qiao Rui’s cold demeanor and felt a fire burning in his heart.

Was he so undesirable?

And still, Little Xingxing kept pressing the question.

Huo Sinan had no choice but to nod perfunctorily. "Yes, Daddy really needs your sympathy."

"But, doesn’t Daddy need Mommy’s sympathy even more?" Little Xingxing wore a puzzled look and turned his head to ask Qiao Rui, "Mommy, Mommy, I think Daddy needs your sympathy too, tell him you feel sorry for him."
