Ning Xia somewhat embarrassedly wiped the corner of her mouth.

She was very thirsty all the way, and when she finally had water to drink, she naturally wouldn't hold back. However, while she was drinking, she heard Pei Yicheng's words and couldn't hold it in any longer.

Thus, when she drank the water, she wanted to laugh, so she beautifully choked …

"Cough cough, about that, I'm sorry, CEO Pei …"

Seeing the water stains on Pei Yi Chen's suit, Ning Xia was a little embarrassed and bit her lips. 'Ah Xi, if I had known earlier, I would have stayed away from this man. He wouldn't have let me compensate for the suit, right?'

This guy was so extravagant, could it be tens of thousands?

Oh my god!

Thinking of this, Ning Xia wanted to cry …

Pei Yi Chen looked at the flustered expression on Ning Xia's face. With a slight flash of light in his eyes, he put on a gentle expression. "Why are you always so careless? Next time, be more careful."

With that, he instructed Shen Heng behind him, "Bring me upstairs to change."

"Yes."

Ning Xia was stunned. She looked at Pei Yi Chen, who had left, and frowned. Was he crazy?

Next to her, the fingers of Pei Jianye who was holding onto the cup tightened in a vain attempt to do so …

"Miss Ning Xia, long time no see."

Pei Jianye raised the wine cup in his hand and waved it towards Ning Xia.

Ning Xia was stunned. She couldn't remember that she had anything to do with this board.

"Director Pei, you've seen me before?"

Ning Xia politely kept her distance. Towards these higher-ups, she would never take the initiative to approach them.

"I saw you at the company's annual meeting. You have the best temperament and most beautiful person in the entire team."

Pei Jianyi revealed a smile which he thought he had bewitched thousands of young girls. His eyes were filled with gentleness and absent-mindedness, as if he was reminiscing about the first time he saw Ning Xia.

Ning Xia felt a wave of disgust. She was in her early twenties, but her opponent was already in his forties and was almost in his fifties. To be played by this kind of person who could be her father...

"General Manager Pei is too polite. I'm just an ordinary girl who just wants to live a peaceful life."

She made her position clear. I don't want anything to do with you.

Pei Jianyi was a man of great character. How could he have ever been rejected by a young lady like this? In his heart, he had already killed the young lady instantly. A woman's uncle, who was of high quality, was the fifth brother of the Diamond King, someone who everyone wanted to get close to. When he was rejected by Ning Xia, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.

"Heh, then you better work at CEO Pei's place. Take good care of my nephew."

He wanted to reach out and pat Ning Xia's shoulder, but she slightly leaned to the side and made a bow, cleverly avoiding his hand, "Director Pei, you can rest assured that I will do my job."

Pei Jianyi's hands missed their target and he embarrassedly retracted them. He was just a chess piece and would fall into his hands sooner or later. When that happens, don't blame him for not showing any mercy!

"Alright, alright."

Pei Jianye drank the red wine in his hand in one gulp and walked in the opposite direction.

Only then did Ning Xia heave a sigh of relief. She really didn't like this kind of hypocritical occasion. She looked in the direction that Pei Yi Chen had left and discovered that there was no sign of him returning. She then strode towards the inconspicuous corner.

She hadn't even eaten dinner yet and the vegetable soup was already pulled out halfway through. Sigh, after relaxing, I am really hungry …

In the study room on the third floor, Pei Yi Chen was holding a pair of binoculars. He could clearly see Ning Xia's movements.

She licked her lips like a kitten and looked left and right, making sure that no one was paying attention to her, then she pinched a small piece of cake with her fingers and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. Like a hamster, she chewed with her cheeks puffed up.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Pei Yi Chen's lips unconsciously curled upwards.

"Burp ~"

She was so anxious from eating that she started choking. In an instant, she burped and frantically used her hands to cover her mouth. She quickly picked up a glass of transparent liquid from the table and gulped it down …

His throat was smooth, but why did he feel a little dizzy?

Ning Xia shook her head. Her body also started to shake. Even the object in front of her eyes started to double up.

"What's going on?"

Ning Xia put her hands on the table to steady herself.

In her throat, a fiery heat burned. She felt as though her entire body was floating …

Ding Dong ~

Ning Xia frowned. She took out her mobile and opened her email.

For a long time, she hadn't received any information regarding this account, unless …

Her slender fingers quickly opened the email. The only thing that could make her excited was a short message: I'm back!

He's back …

Ning Xia couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red. He really came back. Five years ago, he had said that he would come back.

He really came back!

She coaxed her eyes as she stared at the four words on her phone, as if she could see the person on the other end of the network. It was as if she had returned to that warm and youthful period five years ago …
