"Elder Brother Yichen …"
Anna's emotions all stopped at the words' legal couple '. She couldn't understand, wasn't Ning Xia just a little assistant? How could she become Elder Brother Yichen's legal wife?
Pei Yichen didn't even look at Anna as he slowly said to Andy, "July 11th, the online video of Ning Xia slapping her was posted. The address is An family, on July 13th, on the internet, those marketing numbers began criticizing Ning Xia, among the people behind the news, other than Miss Anna's friends, there are also An family's butler, maid, driver, and so on. After my investigation, everything online is led by Anna, Old Mistress An. I think, if you want to criticize her, my Ning Xia should be the most righteous."
Old Master Pei was shocked by Pei Yichen's words. He had never thought that Anna, a little girl who was usually his grandpa in front of him, would have such a sinister intention. Wasn't she trying to force Ning Xia to death?
Andy's face turned even uglier. She subconsciously looked at Anna. Seeing how pale Anna was and how cold sweat kept dripping down her face, she understood that Anna was the one who did all of this.
"Oh, right. Also, at the company's annual meeting, Ning Xia originally wanted to dance a Latin dance, but her dancing dress was maliciously torn by someone. Later on, she found a blade in the washroom. After comparing the fingerprints, it proved that …"
"Yichen, Ning Xia is tired. Accompany her to her room first."
Old Master Pei interrupted Pei Yichen's words with an indifferent tone, clearly wanting to chase him away.
Old Master Pei's thoughts were also very clear. Pei Family and An family were lifelong friends, and they definitely would not lose decorum because of such a small matter. Therefore, the best way was for this matter to end here.
Returning to his room, Pei Yichen sighed helplessly, "Sorry, I've let you suffer."
He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to establish his stance and boundaries, but since his grandfather wouldn't allow it, he could only go along with what the old man said.
However, Ning Xia shook her head with a smile and gave him a hug. "I'm still quite touched. I didn't expect that you would keep investigating these things. Since you care about me, of course, I'm very satisfied."
Pei Yichen held her in his arms and felt the whole world was filled with emotions, "Yeah, I've been thinking about you all day, but you, on the other hand, didn't even accompany me when you went to manage your best friend all day."
Ning Xia raised her brows at his coquettish and solicitous expression. She couldn't help but want to laugh. She really didn't expect that CEO Pei would have such a soft and cute side to him. Hahaha, "Are you jealous?"
"Right, I'm jealous."
Pei Yichen did not hide anything, clearly showing his feelings.
Ning Xia wrapped her arms around his neck and lightly tiptoed, leaving a kiss on the corner of his lips. "Do you have enough compensation?"
Ning Xia grinned. She didn't know why, but when she was together with Pei Yichen, she felt so blissful that she wanted to laugh at every moment.
Pei Yichen saw that she was smiling so much that her teeth could no longer be seen, and he felt that his breathing was a little tight, "Not enough."
He finished his sentence in a low voice, and before Ning Xia could react, he had already pressed his lips against hers. Pfft, gently rubbing …
Ning Xia felt the electric currents in her body and her entire body softened. She seemed to have less and less power to resist Pei Yichen!
Downstairs, Old Master Pei smiled as he looked at Andy, "Old friend, it's already very late, you should go back and rest early."
As he spoke, he stood up to leave, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.
"Peng Cheng!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Andy became a little anxious and blurted out Old Master Pei's name, "We …"
Old Master Pei turned around and glanced at her, "We are all old veterans, don't let the children see a joke. Let bygones be bygones, why are you still bringing it up."
His attitude was clearly distant.
Since she was unable to control him, he had to give a timely reminder. They were friends, not lovers in their youth, and what happened in the past would be the past. With regards to the Pei Family, he couldn't allow Madam An to interfere!
"I'll go back first. You, you should get some rest as well."
Andy was very smart, it was just because she had been too smooth all these years that she had some other thoughts. Now that Old Master Pei's attitude was like a bucket of cold water, she was completely awake. If they missed each other this time, they would miss each other for the rest of their lives, and it would be impossible anymore.
She even felt a little regretful that she came to stand up for her granddaughter today. If she didn't come, then this situation wouldn't have happened. At least, they were still good friends, but now …
She understood Pei Pengcheng too well, he would not allow anyone to hurt the children of Pei Family.
"Grandma, we …"
"Shut up!"
Anna was unwilling. Even though she could not understand what was going on between Grandpa Pei and Grandma Pei, she had yet to achieve her goal for coming here. She was unwilling to leave just like that, but after hearing her grandmother's scolding, she did not dare to say anything more.
After Andy left with her granddaughter, Old Master Pei returned to the ancestral hall to burn an incense stick. After staying alone for a long time, he let the driver drive away from Pei Family Manor without anyone being alarmed.
Ning Xia felt dizzy from being kissed. When her body suddenly felt cold, she noticed that someone had already pushed her onto the bed. She immediately grabbed the big hand, "Don't …"
Her voice was soft like a kitten's. It was clearly a refusal, but it made Pei Yichen want to do whatever it took to dominate her. However, facing Ning Xia's big watery eyes, all of his thoughts became unimportant and he didn't want to force her.
Pei Yichen sighed and straightened his body. Ning Xia shyly covered her face and laid on the bed. He really didn't know how to face this guy.
After hearing the sound of leather shoes clattering into the distance, Ning Xia raised her head and looked at Pei Yichen, who was walking out of the door, "Where are you going?"
Pei Yichen turned around and gave her a helpless look, "Go and take a cold shower. Calm down!"
Ning Xia's face turned hot and she couldn't speak anymore. She really didn't know how to face him. After all, he was a normal man. She always refused at critical moments, which didn't seem quite right.
