CEO's Substitute Bride

C38 I Can Afford It



C38 I Can Afford It

"Director Lin's wife was a dancer, and so is his daughter. But after so many years, he's been the only one living in the country. He's lonely. I want you to fill his loneliness."    

    

Pei Yichen's words left Ning Xia speechless. She looked at Pei Yichen blankly, not daring to believe her own guess.    

    

Her mind was blank for a whole minute before she regained her senses.    

    

During this time, Pei Yichen just sat there quietly, looking at her, waiting for her answer.    

    

Surprisingly, this time, the little girl was very quiet.    

    

"President Pei, I don't really understand what you mean."    

    

He asked her to be his spy. In order to get his help, she agreed. In the end, it was just chatting with Pei Shijie. But now, he wanted her to "fill in" other people's "loneliness. Isn't that too much?    

    

Pei Yichen smirked. He suddenly discovered that Ning Xia was such a dirty girl. The furious expression and resentful eyes were obviously hinting at the truth —her thoughts were on the wrong way!    

    

"What do you not understand? Don't you think for yourself? "    

    

Pei Yichen curled his lips and admired how she was angry but did not dare to say anything, which made him feel very happy.    

    

His words were very clear, but Ning Xia was still immersed in her deviant thoughts. There was nothing he could do about it.    

    

"Doesn't President Pei thinks this is too much?"    

    

Ning Xia tightly gripped the fruit knife through her pants. She really wanted to pull it out right now and ruthlessly turn Pei Yichen into a hornet's nest!    

    

"Not really."    

    

Pei Yichen looked so superior as if he was holding the highest authority in the world. He made Ning Xia so angry that she was barely able to suppress the flood of the internal energy in her body!    

    

After playing around with her, Pei Yichen smiled, "Can you dance Latino?" "What?"    

    

The tense atmosphere was dissolved by Pei Yichen's sudden question.    

    

Ning Xia couldn't quite keep up with his thoughts.    

    

However, Pei Yichen was in a good mood. Every time he saw Ning Xia being embarrassed, he felt really good.    

    

"Director Lin's wife and daughter were both dancers. He's very romantic, but he doesn't have anyone to accompany him. You and his daughter are about the same age, so I want you to perform an outstanding Latino dance at the annual general assembly, to get Director Lin's attention. When the time is ripe, I'll have a chat with him."    

    

After Pei Yichen told her what he wanted, he was very pleased with Ning Xia's stunned expression. She was still a little upset.    

    

Ning Xia felt that her thoughts were led astray by Pei Yichen every time. Her mind deviated to a really bad level ...    

    

"Only dancing?"    

    

"Only dancing."    

    

Their gazes met, one surprised and skeptical, one calm.    

    

Pei Yichen had always wanted to win Director Lin's support because he had a lot of shares, but Director Lin was too neutral, and would not talk to him or even Pei Shijie on any work topics in private. So, let's try with someone similar to his daughter then.    

    

Ning Xia hesitated. If it was just a simple dance, it wouldn't be unacceptable, but … Why?    

    

When they started this, he didn't mention anything about Director Lin, he just asked her to be Pei Shijie's double spy.    

    

"Then, should we talk about cooperation again?"    

    

Ning Xia's brows raised with a trace of complacency. Now that he had a request, she could reconsider the matter of the cooperation.    

    

Pei Yichen pursed his lips. He really didn't realize that a little rabbit could have such a cunning side.    

    

"Speak, what do you want?"    

    

Being asked so directly, Ning Xia was at a loss for a moment. What should she ask?    

    

"Let me think."    

    

Ning Xia relaxed and directly sat on the sofa in his bedroom, seriously considering her options.    

    

In her life, she wasn't lacking anything. Pei Yichen had everything, including power and influence. He should be able to help her do things that she couldn't do herself?    

    

Ning Xia thought again and again, for a whole half hour before finally making her decision.    

    

"Pei Yichen, help me get the silver bracelet back and find a person. During this time, I'll listen to whatever you want me to do. How about it?"    

    

She knew that what he wanted was the company, and during this time, there will be new requirements for her, so it's better to propose new conditions in advance for her to do it. Rather than having troubles later, it's better to explain everything at once.    

    

Pei Yichen was surprised by her self-knowledge, "You're smart."    

    

The seemingly silly young lady, however, understood his plan, and not only she didn't resist but even jumped in without hesitation. Although she seemed silly, in reality, she was very smart. He was starting to appreciate her a little.    

    

"Alright, since you're so straightforward, I'll also give you a straight answer."    

    

Pei Yichen was smiling. It was more satisfying to work with someone like this. Moreover, Ning Xia was a woman that he found especially pleasing to the eye.    

    

"During our cooperation, you will act as my wife, and listen to my arrangements to help me. I will provide your safety and anything you need. When my business is done, I won't interfere with anything you want to do. What do you say?"    

    

"I want something. Do you know what I want? "    

    

Ning Xia wanted to laugh. This guy was quite arrogant.    

    

"As long as it doesn't involve my principles, eating, drinking and having fun, that's what I want."    

    

Seeing her mischievous smile, Pei Yichen thought he should add another clause. He was really worried that Ning Xia would do something that would go against the rules.    

    

She seemed like such a person.    

    

On the surface, she seemed to be obedient and follow the rules but, deep inside, she was restless and her personality was unruly. She just didn't dare to reveal it in front of him.    

    

Ning Xia's little heart wanted to fly up into the sky. This feeling was like winning five million at the lottery!    

    

"Are you sure that I can spend all your money just for fun and food?"    

    

Ning Xia looked at Pei Yichen earnestly. After speaking, she saw he still had a calm demeanor and wanted to remind him, "I eat a lot!"    

    

Pei Yichen almost burst out laughing, "No matter how much you eat, I can support it."    

    

Hearing this, Ning Xia's heart was brimming with joy. Although people had to lower their heads when living under someone else's roof, it was still completely tolerable if they could eat, drink, and save money!    

    

"Fine, it's a deal then. In the future, I will eat as little as possible. I won't eat as much as I can. Just remember that you promised to help me find someone!"    

    

Ning Xia was afraid that he would go back on his word, so she agreed hurriedly.    

    

Pei Yichen grinned and looked in satisfaction at the little white rabbit that jumped into the pit, "So, who do you want me to help you find? What are their characteristics? "    

    

Speaking of this, Ning Xia's smile dimmed. "Other than that pair of bracelets, I don't have any impression or information about her …"
