Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Late at Night, A Lone Man and a Widow

Qiao Rui stared blankly at Pei Liyan, astonishment and confusion evident in her eyes.

This man actually accused her of seducing him.

She immediately stood up, struggling to break free from Pei Liyan’s hold.

But the man gripped her waist tightly, not letting go, his hand firm,

which caused Qiao Rui’s small face to turn bright red, her bright eyes blazing with fury.

She didn’t want Fang Mo in the front seat to hear, so she gritted her teeth and whispered lowly, "Fancy seducing you?"

Pei Liyan raised his eyebrows, also whispering, "We’ve already done it, yet you won’t admit it?"

"Mr. Pei’s hand isn’t letting go, and now you’re twisting the facts, claiming an accident was intentional. I’m perplexed, do you have an illness?" Qiao Rui was not polite.

"You think so? Fine," Pei Liyan said again.

Trapped by him, Qiao Rui saw his handsome, three-dimensional face adorned with a gold rim by the sunset, speaking ambiguous words with serious allure, filled with high-class sexiness.

Twisting logic.

How could he slander her like this? She certainly hadn’t seduced him.

Angered, Qiao Rui struggled forcefully, but at this movement, the man suddenly gasped.

Clearly, he was acting indecently.

Qiao Rui was also startled.

She looked at Pei Liyan, only to see him swallowing hard, frowning slightly and saying somberly, "Don’t play with fire."

Qiao Rui retorted quietly, "Who’s playing with fire? Have you no self-control?"

Damn it, if he had no self-control, would she still be neatly dressed?

Pei Liyan said nothing, closed his eyes, his Adam’s apple moved several times, forcefully suppressing the burning sensation.

Although Qiao Rui didn’t dare move anymore, she also didn’t want to be freely taken advantage of.

She snorted coldly and pinched the man hard.

"Hisss!" The man winced, finally letting go.

Qiao Rui sneered, finally freeing herself from his grasp and sat back in her original position.

Just to be safe, she pulled over the seat belt and buckled up.

Ahead, Fang Mo had already restarted the car, heading towards Qingcheng.

When Pei Liyan had calmed down and bent over to pick up the phone from the floor, he realized the call was still connected.

He paused, then said in a deep voice, "He Zheng?"

"I’m here," He Zheng spoke from the phone, his voice tinged with laughter, "I think I heard some strange noises, what happened?"

Pei Liyan said solemnly, "The car encountered a pheasant on the road."

"A pheasant?" He Zheng was confused, his voice laughing, "Does someone sell those on a highway?"

Frowning, Pei Liyan explained in a deep voice, "A real pheasant, not a person."

"Well, of course, could a person come out to sell?" He Zheng said.

"Do you always have to twist the facts?" Pei Liyan said coldly.

He Zheng laughed heartily. "Don’t be mad, seeing you’re fine and lively comforts me. Say hello to the beauty in the car for me."

Pei Liyan’s eyes narrowed slightly, realizing he had heard.

He huffed lightly and turned to glance at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui had already turned her gaze to the window, ignoring him completely, looking very disdainful.

Pei Liyan looked at the phone, equally disdainful. "Hanging up."

He hung up the call.

Qiao Rui remained silent for the rest of the journey.

At one o’clock in the morning, the car arrived in Qingcheng.

The front partition was also lowered at Pei Liyan’s request.

Fang Mo said, "President, we’ve arrived. Where will you go tonight?"

Qiao Rui was awake, just not yet opening her eyes, and hesitated when she heard this, keeping her eyes closed.

Pei Liyan said, "Four Seasons Cloud Peak."

Fang Mo, quite cleverly, didn’t ask Qiao Rui where she was going and drove directly to the underground garage of Four Seasons Cloud Peak.

After the car stopped, Pei Liyan turned his gaze to Qiao Rui, but said to Fang Mo, "Give me the car keys, have the driver come pick you up."

"Understood!" Fang Mo quickly handed over the car keys to Pei Liyan and left.

"Stop pretending, Fang Mo is gone," Pei Liyan said.

Qiao Rui had no choice but to open her eyes, seeing the man looking at her with a somewhat amused expression, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Pei, I’ll get out now."

She was about to leave the car, but Pei Liyan said, "When Fang Mo asked where to go earlier, you were already awake, weren’t you?"

Qiao Rui turned to him, sensing the certainty in his words.

She didn’t speak, only raised her brows slightly.

Pei Liyan smiled faintly, "I thought since you didn’t refuse earlier, you wouldn’t refuse now."

Qiao Rui furrowed her brows again, observing him, her gaze calm.

Indeed, previously she had no intention of getting out because she wanted to see what this man would do next, but she hadn’t expected he really wouldn’t go home, but instead come to Four Seasons Cloud Peak, which must be another residence of his.

This place was also a high-end residence in Qingcheng.

Qiao Rui had heard of this place.

No apartment was less than 200 square meters, the largest ones, four to five hundred square meters, the property management extraordinarily luxurious.

His bringing her here spoke volumes.

She laughed lightly and posed a question, "Refuse what?"

Pei Liyan smiled lightly, "We are both adults, no need for pretense, right?"

Qiao Rui looked at him, also knowing that in the middle of the night, alone with a man, something might happen.

She didn’t need to think much, those images would enter her mind.

She looked at him, also smiling faintly. "If I say I’m not interested, you probably wouldn’t believe me."

Pei Liyan also smiled, raising his attractive eyebrows, his sharp gaze sweeping over the girl’s slender neck and beautiful collarbone.

Her neckline had fallen slightly lower because of sleeping, revealing a seductive nape, fair and slender, incredibly graceful.

Pei Liyan was in no rush, just quietly watching Qiao Rui’s eyes, his deep gaze harboring the intent of the night.

He was like a patient hunter, waiting for his prey to slowly fall into the net. After all, he was in no rush to close the net since he was determined to succeed.

Qiao Rui smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Pei, if you insist I have intentions, it’s just curiosity."

Pei Liyan raised his eyebrows again.

"I wanted to see if you are lascivious," Qiao Rui said.

"Now you’ve confirmed that’s how I am," Pei Liyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes," Qiao Rui replied, "It’s hard for me not to think that way about you, because your actions are quite amusing."

"Amusing?" Pei Liyan’s tone was very displeased.

No woman had ever called him that.

Nonetheless, Qiao Rui maintained a composed and calm demeanor, "Because you are completely engulfed by ’mites in your brain.’"

"Mites in your brain?"

With a moment’s thought, a storm seemed to brew in Pei Liyan’s eyes, his gaze turning ominously dangerous as he looked at the girl.

Qiao Rui remained calmly smiling. "You can’t deny it, you are indeed quite good, but I am no longer interested in you."

Stunned by her words, Pei Liyan snorted softly, slightly calming himself, also trying not to get angry.
