156 Not Within Your Concern

Pei Zhi rested his chin on his hand. “How much do you like it?”

There was an ambiguous glint in his eyes, but she could not see the meaning behind it through his glasses.

“Very much.” Lin Jiao, who had one foot in a trap, was still unaware. “I can’t like it anymore.”

She raised her chin to touch his thin lips, and he saw her fair and fragile neck.

Pei Zhi really wanted to leave a kiss mark on her face.

However, the current situation did not allow it.

He caressed her ring with his finger. “Then I’ll wear it as often as possible just for you.”

“It’s not good to wear it outside.”

“And why is that?”

“It’s easy to attract women.” Lin Jiao looked into his eyes through the lenses, not hiding her possessiveness.

Pei Zhi chuckled. “Then, I’ll only wear it in front of you.”

If not for the fact that the place was not suitable, Pei Yilan suspected that they would do something unspeakable right here right now.

She raised her hand that was holding the iPad. “Brother Qu and I have done ordering. See if there are any dishes you like.”

Pei Zhi took it casually.

While he scrolled through the pictures of the dishes and chose two main dishes and desserts, Lin Jiao was chatting with them.

The food was served a moment later, and the atmosphere in the private room was lively.

Their topics changed very quickly, but no matter which one they talked about, they all had endless things to say.

“I’ll answer this call first.” Qu Shao, who was about to scan the QR code to pay, received a call.

He pressed the answer button and heard an inexplicably familiar female voice. “Assistant Qu, do you have time to talk?”

“And you are?”

“Yao Qianning.”

“I’m afraid I won’t have time to meet you.”

“Just talking on the phone will be fine too.”

Qu Shao looked up at Pei Zhi.

He followed them out, his tone not changing much. “What do you want to talk about?”

“All the media outlets are reporting that he has a girlfriend. Aren’t you going to deal with it?”

“That’s the truth.”

Yao Qianning suddenly sneered. “Who is she?”

“It doesn’t matter who she is. What matters is that this matter is not within your concern.”

“You mean I have no right to ask?”

“No.” Qu Shao got into the driver’s seat and lowered the volume a few times. “I’m going to drive. Is there anything else?”

“Put him on the phone.”

“He’s not here.”

Yao Qianning did not believe it at all.

She took a deep puff of her cigarette, trying to suppress the frustration that surged up her throat. “Arrange a time. I want to see him next week.”

Qu Shao was about to decline when he heard her say, “On behalf of the Yao Corporation, I want to discuss a business with Sheng Heng.”

“What kind of business?”

“We’ll talk in person then.”

“When exactly do you mean by ‘then’?”

Yao Qianning clicked on the mouse and looked at the flight information sent by her assistant. “Tuesday.”

“Tuesday’s schedule is full.”

“Then Wednesday.”

She hung up without giving Qu Shao a chance to refuse.

Seeing that he wanted to curse, Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked, “Who called?”

“A representative of a company.” Qu Shao did not mention Yao Qianning’s name. “She wants to discuss business with Sheng Heng.”

“Did you make an appointment with her?”

“Not yet.”

Pei Zhi did not ask further.

After all, there were too many companies that wanted to discuss business with Sheng Heng. They needed to filter through many layers to confirm their qualifications.
