"Yes, if you need anything, remember to look for me."

Pei Shijie smiled and nodded. Looking at Ning Xia's estranged appearance, he felt a strong desire to conquer her heart. This made Ning Xia very interested in him.

As Ning Xia walked towards the 66th floor, she gave Leaves a call. This heartless person was walking behind her, and had long since slipped away when she saw Director Xiao Pei.

"Do you still have any humanity left in you? Leave me to face Director Xiao Pei."

Leaves sighed helplessly. "Ning Xia, are you stupid? Can't you tell that Xiao Pei is always trying to please you? "I'll calculate with my fingers. You're a Red Luan, about to commit a crime called Peach Blossom."

"Forget it, Little Pei is like a peacock who has his tail between his legs. Will it make you feel disgusted just by looking at him?"

When Ning Xia thought of his deliberate gentleness and awkwardness, she felt sick all over.

"Haha, Peacock with his tail between his legs, your analogy is really fitting."

Ye ZIchen laughed heroically.

When Pei Yi Chen, who was on the 66th floor, heard the sound coming from her staircase, he smiled slightly.

Shen Heng felt that installing a mini camera on the staircase was the wisest decision he could make!

"CEO Pei, I feel that this Ning Xia might not have been sent by Pei Shijie. I've discovered that his assistant had only arrived at the restaurant before Miss Ning Xia after she had asked around and checked up on the operations department."

Pei Yi Chen nodded. After thinking about it carefully, Ning Xia was indeed not sent by Pei Shijie. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used such a cheap trick to get close to Ning Xia. However, in Ning Xia's eyes, this sort of trick was just like a peacock's …

"Go and call her in. It's time to have a good chat."

Since he was not Pei Shijie's man, he would become his!

Shen Heng responded excitedly and immediately went out to call someone. He was really looking forward to the pure and simple little girl from Ning Xia melting the ice cube from CEO Pei.

Only an onlooker like him would be able to clearly see that every time CEO Pei met Ning Xia, he would no longer be as cold as before.

Ning Xia was chatting passionately with Leaves when Shen Heng suddenly appeared. She was so shocked that she almost lost her grip on her phone.

"Hey, Ning Xia, what are you talking about?"

Ye Zichen's loud voice could be heard through the phone, causing it to sound exceptionally clear in the quiet corridor.

Shen Heng raised his eyebrows. He really couldn't tell that the usually gentle and gentle Ning Xia would actually be friends with such a rough and unruly character that seemed to be filled with sideburns.

Ning Xia embarrassedly smiled and said, "I'll call you later."

Then, he quickly hung up the phone, "Shen De, you were looking for me?"

"The president is waiting for you in his office."

Ning Xia nodded with a smile and walked towards the office.

"CEO Pei, you're looking for me?"

When Pei Yi Chen heard the voice, he closed the document in his hand and set it aside as he looked at Ning Xia.

She was not Pei Shijie's person, and he was quite satisfied with the result. In fact, he even felt a slight sense of happiness in his heart.

Ning Xia was frightened by his questioning gaze, "CEO Pei, why are you looking for me?"

"Come, sit."

Pei Yi Chen leaned his body back against the chair. The faint curve of his lips made him look like a fox. It was as if he wanted to dig a hole for Ning Xia and wait for her to jump into it.

Ning Xia looked at him with a wary expression. For some reason, Ye Wen's words once again appeared in her mind.

The young master of the Pei clan …

A husband she had never met …

The labels between them seemed to fit perfectly.

"You're the Ning Family's Second Miss."

It was clearly a question, but he said it with absolute confidence.

The doubt that had been in Ning Xia's heart all this time finally settled into her stomach.

It was him!

Suddenly, she wasn't nervous anymore. Even if this husband didn't appear at the wedding, even if he gave her an embarrassing wedding, inexplicably, she didn't have the slightest bit of anger or hatred towards him.

Amidst her tranquil state of mind, she revealed a slight smile, "I have no relationship with the Ning family anymore, so Young Master Pei, after you know my identity, what are you going to do with me?"

A man who defies himself by not attending a wedding must be dissatisfied with himself. What would he do now?

"Let me guess."

Ning Xia's current calmness was like a completely different person compared to her usual big-headed personality. Pei Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and felt that the current Ning Xia was very special.

Ning Xia sat down. "You're not satisfied with this marriage, you're very resistant to me. Coincidentally, I've also been forced into a corner. If you want a divorce, I have no objections."

In any case, they were only married in the West, and they were only notaries for the priest. They didn't even take their account books to the Civil Affairs Bureau, so getting a divorce was simple and convenient.

Pei Yi Chen hadn't expected that she would react so dramatically with just a few words. Moreover, her words were spoken with a domineering air.

"Ning Xia, from today onwards, you will be my official wife. After work, you will move into the Manor."

This was his attitude!

Ning Xia was stunned. She didn't expect him to say that.

"Shouldn't you hate me?"

Pei Yi Chen was well aware of her and revealed a gratified expression. "I really don't like you."

Err …

Ning Xia was speechless. Was he that direct?

Shouldn't it be more of a gentleman to reply "I don't hate you that much"?

It seemed that this fellow was truly different from a gentleman! Done! Side!

"However, you are useful to me now!"

Simple and direct!

Unconcealed!

Ning Xia couldn't help but roll her eyes inside. Frankly speaking, you just want to use me.

She didn't think she could get what she wanted.

"No."

Her rejection was also simple and straightforward.

"I heard that you were in the Ning family and didn't bring something back."

It hit the nail on the head!

Other than the fact that he hadn't fully investigated the matter of her being expelled for cheating in university, the rest of the matters, Ning Xia, could be said to be completely transparent in front of him.

Ning Xia was stupefied. How did he know about such a secretive matter?

She had rented a house since high school and rarely returned to the Ning family. The only thing she had left behind was the pair of silver bracelets she had brought with her from the orphanage.

"What do you mean?"

Ning Xia's body tensed up, and she was obviously on guard.

"I can help you get it back, but you have to behave and cooperate with me."

Pei Yi Chen didn't conceal his thoughts in the slightest. He revealed his thoughts without the slightest worry, which would arouse an even more violent resistance from Ning Xia.

Ning Xia lowered her eyes. She still vividly remembered the night of the royal ball.

The peaceful words were like a knife that stabbed into his own body, causing her pain and injuring him.

She said that she would have the qualifications to do so, but in truth, if she relied solely on her own ability, then this qualification was simply too difficult to obtain.

However, if it was the identity of Pei Yi Chen's wife …
