Chapter 1000: Talked Then Got Hurt

Everyone drove here, no need for Pei Dongshi to arrange business cars for us.

He pulled out a card and handed it to Nan Jiaojiao, asking her to settle the bill.

President Hao walked at the back, whispered, “President Pei, you and Miss Nan…”

Before he could finish, Pei Dongshi clarified on the spot, “Not that kind of relationship, she has a boyfriend.”

“Oh, is that so?

What a pity, haven’t seen any woman around you all these years, and now the first one you bring out belongs to someone else.”

Pei Dongshi chuckled twice, “Her boyfriend is nice; otherwise, I wouldn’t feel at ease.

As for Jiaojiao, she’s like a daughter to me, no other feelings involved.”

President Hao remained composed, “President Pei, so young, already skipped marriage and have a daughter, huh?

Listening to your analogy, I’m a bit taken aback.”

Pei Dongshi smiled but said nothing.

People who are familiar know that whenever it comes to relationships, Pei Dongshi never responds.

Getting some personal life gossip out of him is not easy.

Probably having drunk a few more glasses tonight, with cold wind blowing, he felt a faint headache and spoke more, “Love?

Only fell in love once in this life, got hurt, no need to fall in love again.”

President Hao looked as if he discovered a new continent, but before he could ask, his assistant drove over and Pei Dongshi personally opened the rear car door.

“Don’t hold up President Hao anymore, be careful on the way back, let me know when you arrive safely.”

President Hao had to stop speaking.

“By the way, when you return to the Capital City, you will go home, right?

Send my regards to Mr.

Pei.”

“Sure, I’ll thank you on behalf of my father.”

Pei Dongshi watched as the car drove away, called his assistant and asked him to bring the car over.

Nan Jiaojiao came over after settling the bill, with a lollipop in her mouth and a handful of mint candies in her hand – blue, pink, and white.

She arranged the colors nicely and played with them in her palm.

“Where did you get the candy?”

Nan Jiaojiao glanced backward, “The lady at the front desk gave them.”

“Give me one.”

Nan Jiaojiao immediately stuffed the candy into her pocket, with her hand inside, “There are plenty at the counter, go get them yourself.”

“You little kid!”

Pei Dongshi was too exhausted to be angry, the cold wind couldn’t disperse the alcohol, having just come out of an air-conditioned room, the cold wind was like needles, hurting everywhere, “Hurry up, give me one, I have a headache.”

“Oh,” Nan Jiaojiao looked at him defiantly, “What does your headache have to do with me?”

“Forgot that your dad shielded you from a few drinks, huh?!”

“…”

Nan Jiaojiao acknowledged her guilt, just as she prepared to give him a candy, Pei Dongshi directly grabbed her hand, took out a candy himself, and fiddled with it but couldn’t open it.

He irritably tossed the candy to Nan Jiaojiao, “Why is it so hard to open stuff kids eat?

Open it for your dad.”

Nan Jiaojiao seized the opportunity to mock him.

“Ha!

You finally have your day, useless pastry!”

She swiftly peeled the candy wrapper, and before he could retort, shoved the candy into his mouth, gave him a playful slap.

Then jumped two steps away.

Pei Dongshi couldn’t be bothered to chase her.

After playing on her own for a while, she came back and slipped the card into his pocket.

Soon, the assistant drove over.

Pei Dongshi opened the car door in the back, protected her as she sat inside, waited until both her feet were in, then entered the car himself.

Across the street, Yaen Chi suddenly perked up, rolled down all the windows, stuck his head out, stared for a moment, then turned back with a bewildered expression.

“Brother Yan.”
