CEO's Substitute Bride

He looked at Ning Xia coldly. Her weird behavior in the morning, he didn't believe it was for nothing.    

He just wanted to see what she was going out for. He didn't expect her to go on a blind date. If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have let her go so easily in the morning!    

"Don't..."    

Ning Xia looked at Pei Yichen with a wronged expression. On her eyelids, there was ostentatiously displayed a demonic yet charming eyeshadow. It was an exaggerated smoky makeup. She didn't want to expose it.    

"I'll give you ten seconds to consider."    

Pei Yichen was furious inside. People around him felt the air pressure was very low. He couldn't understand why Ning Xia would come out for a blind date!    

What was even more incomprehensible was that although she said she was going out with Niu Juan, she was sitting near Shi Mobai!    

Ning Xia was trembling under his pressure. Although Pei Yichen had always had a bad temper, it's never been like this. It looked like he was about to explode.    

She has always been a good child who cherished her life. Seeing Pei Yichen like this, she was terrified. Reluctantly, she took off her eyeglasses that covered most of her face, revealing her meticulously made-up eyes.    

"Pfft — — cough, cough, cough …"    

Shen Heng almost couldn't hold it in and was about to laugh out loud. What makeup was that? Those were clearly panda eyes!    

A pure and cute young girl instantly became a nightclub hostess. He really wanted to mock her mercilessly.    

But under Pei Yichen's cold look, he clenched his teeth and refrained.    

"Come here."    

Seeing that she was pretending to be ugly despite going out on a blind date, Pei Yichen's anger finally eased up a little, "Let's go home!"    

Go home?!    

Niu Juan was dumbstruck. President Pei said to Ning Xia to go home with him?    

Did she hear wrong?    

They're going to the same ... home?    

Ning Xia pursed her lips, feeling wronged when she heard the surrounding people's stifled laughter. Pei Yichen, you lunatic! You must be happy now that you've embarrassed me!    

"Pei Yichen, aren't you a bit too disrespectful towards this cousin of yours?"    

Pei Yuanfan was not happy that his existence was overlooked and wanted an explanation. In the end, what exactly happened?    

Pei Yichen's glance made him shrink back. He was obviously the older one, why was he so scared of him?    

"If Grandpa knew you were back but didn't come home for dinner on Saturday, guess what would happen?"    

Pei Yichen's voice didn't have any inflections, but his words made Pei Yuanfan speechless. Looking at him leaving, Pei Yuanfan gritted his teeth. Damn it, since this guy appeared, he's been losing more and more of his position.    

"What's the relationship between this Ning Xia and Pei Yichen?"    

He looked at Niu Juan, who was standing beside him, with a puzzled expression.    

Niu Juan frowned. The shock in her heart was no less than that of those two. What relationship? It was obviously President Pei's first time meeting Ning Xia that day.    

"Before today, I only knew that Ning Xia was President Pei's assistant."    

Niu Juan's spoke with restrain, indicating that she did not know the truth.    

Shi Mobai winked at Pei Yuanfan, "Pei Yichen and his assistant got together. How do you think Anna will react after knowing about this?"    

Pei Yuanfan revealed a standard playboy smile, "It will be a good show!"    

Niu Juan watched the two of them who looked like they were planning something bad and frowned. Ning Xia shouldn't be such a person …    

Ning Xia followed Pei Yichen back to the Pei Family Villa, and neither of them said a word along the way.    

He was angry that she went out on a blind date. She was intimidated by the depressive atmosphere .    

"Wash up and come to my room."    

These were the words that Pei Yichen coldly said when they arrived in the living room.    

Ning Xia looked at his back as he was going to his room, petrified on the spot.    

She wanted to go after him and ask what does he mean by …" Wash up …    

But thinking how he was in a bad mood and could tear her to shreds at any moment, Ning Xia tactfully went back to her room to take a bath. Knowing that facing that man she wouldn't be able to cope, she took the fruit knife from the living room and put it in her pocket anxiously.    

Pei Yichen, was sitting in the room, holding a goblet with a red liquid, shaking it slightly.    

"President Pei, I'm a bit worried. If Ning Xia were to screw up, at the shareholders' meeting, you might …"    

Thinking about Pei Yichen's plan, Shen Heng felt that it was really dangerous.    

Although a risky move would be unexpected, the danger was too great.    

Pei Yichen frowned slightly. His eyes were deep, making people unable to see what he was thinking.    

"Knock, knock, knock!"    

Ning Xia hesitated but still reached out to knock on the door. She decided she will endure anything, as long as it was not a matter of principle. Whatever Pei Yichen said today, she will obey!    

That look in the coffee shop was simply too terrifying …    

"Come in."    

Ning Xia opened the door and entered. Seeing that someone else was inside, she heaved a sigh of relief. It was better if they weren't alone together.    

"President Pei."    

Ning Xia greeted in a low voice. Only then did Pei Yichen look over.    

When he saw her refreshed and clean face, his mood improved a bit, "It's more pleasing to the eye this way."    

Upon hearing his words, Ning Xia felt she was choking. She wanted to retort, but couldn't come up with a suitable reason. To be safe, it would be better to just shut up.    

Then, President Pei, I'll leave now." Shen Heng said, tactful.    

"Sigh, you …" Ning Xia wanted to stop him, but her intention wasn't enough.    

There were only two people left in the room, and it was a cold feeling in the air. Ning Xia subconsciously took two steps back and put her hand in her pocket.    

Initially, she thought that Shen Heng would be here, but when he ran away, that sense of insecurity once again surfaced in her heart, "President Pei, what business do you have with me?"    

"How much do you know about Director Lin?"    

Pei Yichen finished the red wine in one gulp, put down the cup and looked at Ning Xia.    

Ning Xia frowned, trying to remember, "Director Lin seems to have a very good temperament. He managed the sales under his tutelage. He is very capable and approachable, but he does his job meticulously, he could be called a perfectionist. It seems that his wife died and he has not remarried all these years. He has a long-distance relationship with only one daughter, and she seems to have already married abroad. As for what she is doing, I have never heard of it. "    

Pei Yichen nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that Ning Xia wasn't as amateurish as he had imagined.
