CEO's Substitute Bride

Still chewing, Ning Xia reached out to push Pei Yichen, but her outstretched hand only grabbed air. Looking at this guy's back, she resisted the urge to kick him when she saw that he was controlling the wheelchair with the button.    

    

It's obvious he can take care of himself but he still troubles others all day long. Doesn't he know he can do things by himself?    

    

Damn it, what did he mean by that? Did he despise her thinking her hands were greasy ?    

    

Oh please, she wiped them clean!    

    

Ning Xia cursed silently, walking out. She was afraid that if she was a step too slow, this guy would outright leave her behind!    

    

After Ning Xia got on the car Shen Heng started the engine.    

    

Inside the car was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing, but Ning Xia suddenly felt she was choking …    

    

"Ugh ~"    

    

She struck her chest to disengage it but her stomach felt stuffy and uncomfortable. It was obvious that she was stuck on the last piece of the steamed bun she ate.    

    

"Ahhh ~"    

    

Shen Heng, who was driving, laughed silently. Being with Ning Xia was very amusing.    

    

Pei Yichen glanced at her helplessly. As a good-looking woman, how could she not know that she should pay attention to her image?    

    

The embarrassment on her face was somehow cute.    

    

"Ahhh ~ Hiccup ~"    

    

Ning Xia vowed that she would never eat that much in the presence of Pei Yichen again and she must chew slowly in the future. Right now, she lost all her face in front of Pei Yichen. It was so embarrassing!    

    

In the quiet car, only Ning Xia's rhythmical hiccups were heard, seeming extremely comical. However, Pei Yichen was listening to her hiccuping with great enjoyment as if he was admiring some form of art.    

    

Twenty minutes later, Ning Xia was almost out of breath because of the hiccups. Pei Yichen, looking like he was giving her a pardon, moved his thin lips and ordered, "Get off."    

    

Ning Xia was taken aback and she looked at him, puzzled. They hadn't arrived at the company yet.    

    

"Get off!"    

    

His voice was even heavier. He didn't like to repeat himself.    

    

Shen Heng, very cooperative, parked the car by the side of the road.    

    

Ning Xia pouted, feeling angry and anxious but still, she kept her reasoning. "Okay, okay. I'm going ~"    

    

She also has backbone!    

    

You don't want her to stay, then she won't!    

    

She decisively got out of the car and watched it speeding away.    

    

He really was an unpredictable man!    

    

Ning Xia finally arrived near the company. She remembered there was a coffee shop nearby and decided to buy some water. This hiccup, if prolonged, could be bad for her health.    

    

"Ning Xia!"    

    

The three people walking together on the other side of the street were originally sighing at the luxurious car. However, they were shocked to see Ning Xia alight from the car.    

    

Seeing she was about to leave, they called her quickly. While she was looking around, they ran over from the other side.    

    

Ye Zi looked at Ning Xia thoughtfully. Why did she feel that Ning Xia was hiding something from her?    

    

Meanwhile, when Ning Xia saw the cup of milk tea in Ye Zi's hands, she took it without saying a word and emptied it in one gulp. Immediately, she felt that her breathing, throat, and entire body were smooth and unhindered again.    

    

"I was about to die choking."    

    

She sighed pathetically. She has to be careful from now on!    

    

"Ning Xia, whose car were you in just now?"    

    

"Yeah, I've only seen that Ferrari in the magazines. It's the first time I've seen it for real!"    

    

Faced with the questioning of her two colleagues, Ning Xia was somewhat dumbfounded, and she didn't know how to react. She had no idea how to explain it.    

    

She didn't want others to know about her relationship with Pei Yichen. After all, gossip is a terrible thing.    

    

She has been hurt by rumours before and did not want it to happen again.    

    

Ye Zi was deep in thought. Obviously, that car belonged to President Pei. He was sitting in it yesterday when he left. Why was Ning Xia trying to conceal it?    

    

But being a good friend, of course, she had to come to the rescue, so she interrupted the gossip of the two colleagues, "How blind are you, Ning Xia looks so poor, how could she be related to the owner of the Ferrari? I think she was masked by the car just now, and when it drove away, that's when we saw her!"    

    

"Right, right, that must be it. I've never seen such a cool car before, that's why I was dazed. "Hur hur, I was dazed."    

    

Ning Xia looked gratefully at Ye Zi, who winked at her, having the look of a good and loyal pal.    

    

The two colleagues who were fooled like this were still whispering to themselves, but seeing Ning Xia's meager appearance, it was clear that Ye Zi's words were true.    

    

The four of them changed the topic and headed to the company together.    

    

When they arrived at the company, they separated. Ning Xia took the stairs from the 65th floor, while Ye Zi and co. got off at the 10th floor.    

    

On the 66th floor, Pei Yichen looked at Shen Heng, who had just come back from outside, and asked, "How is it?"    

    

"We've let our people spread the news. Pei Shijie should hear from Ye Miao first. He will probably figure it out then."    

    

He first "inadvertently" leaked out that Ning Xia had moved to the CEO's place in front of Ye Miao. Then he found out their location in advance and the CEO deliberately asked Ning Xia to get off right there.    

    

What's more, they also arranged for this matter to be publicized. Multiple actions will generate surprising results.    

    

Pei Yichen nodded, "Tell Ning Xia she must not refuse when Pei Shijie invites her. When the business is done, I will naturally do what I promised her."    

    

"Yes."    

    

Shen Heng left and the room became quiet again.    

    

Pei Yichen's gaze fell on the first page of the information on the table. There was only the word Xia Tian, and nothing else.    

    

"Where the hell are you?"    

    

He could not help but sigh. Was it really just a dream?    

    

That year, he was tricked by Pei Shijie and had a car accident. Although his life was saved, his legs were completely broken.    

    

At that time, he was not yet Pei Family's young master, but an illegitimate child who struggled in the darkness, despised by everyone. There was no one by his side, and the whole world was against him.    

    

He wanted to die, wanted to leave this cold world, but that was the night he met Xia Tian.    

    

Xia Tian told him everything that was on her mind, how she has been abandoned, but she still chose to live well. Only then did he realize that he couldn't die!    

    

Not only he must live, but he must live well.    

    

He's never been afraid of death, so how could he be afraid of living!    

    

He wanted to live, and wanted to live well and take back everything that belonged to him!    

    

That summer, he and the girl he just met, encouraged each other, and left their dark days behind.    

    

He wanted to see her, wanted to know what this person, who's been with him through his dark times, looked like, so he asked her to send him a photo. But she was silent for a long time, so long that he thought he's been too reckless, making her think that he cared about her appearance.    

    

Just as he was about to explain, she sent him a photo silently. After that, there were no more messages …
