Shen Peian didn't speak for a long time. Xia Xingyu's questioning was not intimidating to him at all.

"You're not going to say, are you? "Fine, let's continue shopping tomorrow!"

Xia Xingyu was simply about to die from anger because of this man.

Finally, when he heard the word "shopping," Shen Pei An took a deep breath and finally had a reaction.

"I have the Trade Department's customer information."

Xia Xingyu saw Shen Peian's appearance, and was secretly delighted that he had something to be afraid of.

However …

"You spent so much effort just to get what you can now?"

"Shen Peian, are you treating me like a fool?"

Xia Xingyu wouldn't have been fooled by his few words. After all, this reason was too lousy, making people unable to believe it.

Shen Peian took another step toward Xia Xingyu, and the picture of their perfect body was reflected in the French windows.

His tone was solemn, causing Xia Xingyu to feel a sense of oppression.

"Even if this answer will kill me, do you still want to know?"

Shen Peian's words carried weight. He didn't look like he was joking at all.

Xia Xingyu was slightly stunned.

"…"

"Then forget it."

One day, she was going to make Shen Peian willingly ask for information without hiding anything from her. It would be too tiring for her to do so.

After returning home, Ning Xi sat on the sofa in the living room, obviously waiting for Xia Xingyu.

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

Ning Xi waved at Xia Xingyu, who had a kind smile on her face. Her image of killing and deciding in the company was very different from usual.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Xia Xingyu was a bit suspicious, she vaguely felt that what her mother wanted to say had something to do with Shen Peian.

Indeed.

"Pei An has already told you in detail about the matter of going to Martial City."

Ning Xi saw Shen Peian and called him over. Shen Peian stood there respectfully with no expression on his face.

When Xia Xingyu heard this, her mood immediately dropped. Her small mouth shrunk and there was a knot between her eyebrows …

"I won't listen, I won't listen!"

"Mom, I don't want to leave you."

Xia Xingyu grabbed Ning Xi's arm with one hand and began to act like a spoiled child.

Being spoiled at her age was very useful.

Ning Xi naturally knew Xia Xingyu's thoughts, but now that Xiahou Yong had asked her to take over the Trade Department, it was obvious that he wanted to let his daughter take over some business.

If Xia Xingyu did not leave, he would not be able to leave then.

"Just follow Payne back to see his parents. It's not like you're not coming back. Listen to your mother!"

Ning Xi tried to persuade him, but Xia Xingyu wouldn't listen.

Naturally, she knew how dangerous the Empire Corporation's lagoon would be. If her mother was worried about her, she would worry about her mother as well.

With a steeled heart, Xia Xingyu decided not to compromise.

"I have nothing to do with Shen Peian. Why would I want to see his parents? I don't understand. "

"Mom, I'm not going!"

Xia Xingyu's tough attitude left no room for negotiation, but when she said this, she clearly didn't consider Shen Peian's feelings.

"Madam, since the eldest young miss isn't willing, why force her?"

Shen Pei'an, who was standing at the side, finally spoke. His tone was light and no emotions could be heard, but Xia Xingyu could feel that this man seemed to be angry.

Ning Xi felt a headache coming on. She lightly rubbed her forehead, feeling very depressed.

As long as the business came, as the general manager of the Trade Department, Xia Xingyu would have to sign it. When that time came, he would not be able to get her to leave.

With so many worries in her heart, Ning Xi's tone became heavier.

"Child, if I told you to go, you would go. Now, are you not going to listen to your mother's words?"

"Payne's parents are old friends of mine. Can't I go see them for my mother?"

Ning Xi had never reprimanded Xia Xingyu, but if it wasn't reprimanding her, then what else could it be?

If Xia Xingyu hadn't been reborn, he would have died from grief, knowing that Ning Xi wanted him to let her leave.

Seeing that Ning Xi was angry, Xia Xingyu's heart tightened. However, she had to protect Ning Xi, so she definitely couldn't leave Ning Xi here alone.

"Mom just doesn't want me anymore! "Humph!"

"I'm so sad, I'm going to bed!"

With a sudden inspiration, Xia Xingyu borrowed the momentum to act like a child. After saying this, she went upstairs, closing the door behind her and ignoring everyone else.

"Sigh …"

Ning Xi sighed heavily, feeling extremely worried.

Shen Peian watched the interaction between the mother and daughter as if he knew what was going on in his heart.

One of them was truly worried while the other one was fake sad. Since when did this Xia Xingyu become such a monster?

The next day, Xia Xingyu went to work as usual, but the atmosphere today was a bit different. Everyone in the Trade Department was nervous, as if there was some big business here.

Xia Xingyu asked curiously when she saw that Shen Peian was also busy.

"What's wrong? Are there any big clients coming today? "

Shen Peian lifted his head to meet Xia Xingyu's gaze, but quickly lowered his head again, busying himself with the matters at hand.

His actions seemed to be unwilling to respond to Xia Xingyu, but Xia Xingyu was still his boss.

Shen Payan reluctantly opened his mouth and said.

"There's a batch of tobacco from Southeast Asia. I'll be there tonight."

Xia Xingyu was somewhat displeased when she heard this. She was the general manager of the Trade Department, yet no one had told her about such a big matter. It was simply too much.

Her eyes turned cold as she slammed the documents onto the table.

"Why didn't anyone notify me?"

Shen Peian was unimpressed. He put the documents away, then placed them next to his own computer before replying in a light tone.

"This is Madam's order. She said you should go to bed early tonight …"

"…"

This really made Xia Xingyu unable to refute him.

Xia Xingyu knew that the Imperial Conglomerate was finally going to start a big business. However, this batch of tobacco was definitely a pretense.

Based on Xiahou Yong's style of doing things, this gathering of people was only to collect the real goods a few days later, without anyone noticing.

Since that was the case, he might as well let them do as they pleased.

However, she could not go, and Shen Peian would not be able to.

"Got it. I'm going to go shopping after work. With your current job, hurry up and find a substitute."

Hearing this, Shen Pei An's body slightly stiffened. This woman was definitely doing this on purpose.

When it was almost time to leave work, Xia Xingyu was thinking about how to screw with Shen Peian.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ying suddenly pushed open the door and entered.

"Sis, Big Brother National Authority has a list for you to sign."

Xia Xingyu really wanted to laugh. Since when did Fu Guoqian need Xia Ying to run errands for him?

However, if she really wanted to humiliate herself, then she couldn't blame herself for not showing mercy.

"Put it here. I'll get someone to send it back after the autograph is signed."

Obviously, Xia Xingyu did not intend to sign it immediately.
