Chapter 323: Chapter 343: This Woman is too Smart, She’s Guarding Against Me! _1

"Miss Zuo, you seem not to like me."

In the glow of the sunset, Pei Shanming leaned against the railing, watching Zuo Yingying, who was fishing intently nearby: "Don’t deny it, my eyes don’t deceive me."

Zuo Yingying smiled slightly: "We’ve only known each other for half a day, so to say like seems a bit exaggerated."

Zuo Yingying didn’t want to offend Pei Shanming, after all, this guy had a big background, and if she really offended him, she was afraid that it would bring trouble to her family, and she would be scolded to death by her father.

Pei Shanming laughed: "Actually, for liking or not liking someone, the first glance can give a result, and the rest is just a matter of judging the situation and weighing options."

You’re so right!

I knew I didn’t like you the moment I laid eyes on you!

Zuo Yingying gave a slight smile: "The main thing is that I already have someone I like; how can one heart accommodate anyone else?"

Pei Shanming’s brow furrowed slightly: "Didn’t they say you’ve never had a boyfriend before?"

Zuo Yingying laughed: "Did Zhu Chong’an say that? We haven’t been close enough that I need to report to him when I have someone I like, so it’s normal that he wouldn’t know."

Pei Shanming thought for a moment and cut straight to the point: "Miss Zuo, I’m not a person who likes to beat around the bush. I’ve taken a liking to you at first sight, and I believe that with my identity as the Shen Yun Sect’s young master, I’m more than worthy of you. As long as you nod in agreement, I’ll marry you right away, and with my relationship with you, your Zuo family will naturally rise to greater heights."

Zuo Yingying’s expression changed slightly, and she stalled: "You’re really direct, just meeting and already talking about marriage. I’m a bit overwhelmed. How about this - give me some time to think it over and discuss with my family. After all, if I’m really going to marry you, it won’t be a minor matter."

Pei Shanming was silent for two seconds, his gaze slightly unhappy, but he didn’t say anything more: "Alright, think it over."

Pei Shanming went back to lie down in the chair next to Zhu Chong’an, who asked: "What’s wrong, you seem upset?"

Pei Shanming snorted coldly: "I’m willing to marry her, I’m elevating her and elevating the Zuo family, but she’s actually so unwilling. By the way, she said she has someone she likes, who is it?"

Zhu Chong’an was taken aback: "Could it be Lin Chen?"

Pei Shanming’s expression grew colder: "Isn’t Lin Chen already married?"

Zhu Chong’an explained: "Yes, he’s indeed married, but Zuo Yingying and Lin Chen are quite close. They’ve hung out with Lin Chen multiple times. If her saying she has someone she likes is true, then it can only be Lin Chen; if it’s an excuse, then it’s naturally fake..."

Pei Shanming pondered for a moment and said: "I don’t have time to play hide and seek with her. Later, I’ll slip something into her drink and get things done tonight. Tomorrow, when we return, I’ll propose marriage to the Zuo family; I don’t believe they would refuse."

Zhu Chong’an laughed: "The Zuo family is probably more than happy."

Pei Shanming nodded: "If they agree, I’ll marry her; if they don’t, then it’s as if nothing happened."

Being a man himself, Zhu Chong’an naturally understood Pei Shanming’s thoughts: "Alright!"

It wasn’t long before it was dinner time, and everyone gathered together to enjoy a seafood feast.

When everyone had drunk enough, Pei Shanming carried two cups of wine and walked over to Zuo Yingying, handing her one: "Drink a cup, no matter what the result of your consideration is, knowing each other is fate."

Zuo Yingying glanced at the wine cup Pei Shanming handed her and smiled, reaching out to take the cup: "Mr. Pei thinks so highly of me, I’m somewhat flattered, and I should indeed drink a cup..."

As Zuo Yingying held the cup, just as Pei Shanming let go, her hand suddenly slipped, and the wine glass in her hand tilted sharply to the side.

Zuo Yingying cried out in alarm and backed away, while the red wine poured out on the ground in an instant.

Pei Shanming’s facial expression froze.

He had put something in this glass of wine, but it was unexpectedly spilled by Zuo Yingying.

On purpose?

Or was it a coincidence?

Zuo Yingying saw the change in Pei Shanming’s expression and her heart sank, it seemed that what she was worried about had really happened.

"I’m sorry, I drank too much and my hand slipped; I’ll pour another one!"

Zuo Yingying put down the glass, picked up her own, poured another one, apologized to Pei Shanming, clinked glasses, and then drank it up boldly.

Pei Shanming drank his own wine and reluctantly returned to Zhu Chong’an’s side.

Zhu Chong’an glanced at him, and Pei Shanming gritted his teeth: "This woman is too clever, she’s on guard against me. It seems I’ll have to force my way."

Zhu Chong’an naturally wouldn’t stop Pei Shanming: "She’s staying in A3 Room."

Pei Shanming just grunted: "I’ll go there later, knock her out, get things done first and then talk."

In the distance, Zuo Yingying looked at the two who were whispering, her eyes filled with worry. After a moment of thought, she took out her mobile phone and sent Lin Chen a message along with her location.

"Are you out at sea now? How far away from me are you? If it’s not too far, can you come pick me up? I have a feeling something is about to happen here..."
