The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Let’s Go to Melta Together Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Let’s Go to Melta Together “Xiao Wu, I’m really happy that you want to go on a date with me. Does this mean you’re starting to miss me?”

Qingwu figured out by now that the message was most likely sent by that brat Tian Ji using her account.

The people inside Beidou Star were truly hard to guard against.

These folks were absolute geniuses, able to come up with countless tricks!

Even though Qingwu’s phone was never away from her, they somehow managed to use backend computer programs to format it like a phone number and send messages to Pei Jue in her name!

Tian Liang whistled, with a knowing look on his face.

“Boss, rest assured, we’ve already jammed and blocked the surrounding signals. President Pei wouldn’t let us get discovered with such a big setup. At most, there’d be a few more posts online speculating about a rich heir proposing nearby, and we’d become a trending spot for a short while.”

Qingwu looked helplessly at these carefree subordinates!

Is this really a good thing?

Tian Tong looked at the roses and said with a chuckle, “President Pei, if you’re not using these flowers, can we make them into flower pastries? We’ll even send some to you!”

“Feel free, these flowers are indeed edible. They were just to make Xiao Wu happy.”

Pei Jue wrapped his arm around Qingwu’s waist with no intention of letting go.

Qingwu took a deep breath, “Let go, don’t make me hit you.”

“Sparring with me is also part of a date? Then next time, I’ll book a boxing gym in advance. Does my fiancée prefer an underground boxing arena?”

Though Pei Jue said that, he still loosened his grip as she requested.

Qingwu turned to her subordinates and smiled kindly, “You’re all finished, just you wait.”

Everyone felt a chill down their necks and quickly covered their necks as they scurried away!

Pei Jue’s face was full of doting smiles as he looked at the escaping members of Beidou Star with great friendliness.

“The people around you seem to create a good atmosphere.”

At least he could tell that these people sincerely followed Qingwu in work, with admiration and respect in their eyes.

It seemed that her way of managing people was quite good. To have the renowned Beidou Star working for her, she must have other remarkable qualities he had yet to discover.

No rush, they have plenty of time. He would slowly uncover all of her good sides!

“It was Tian Ji who sent you the message, not me.”

Qingwu took out her phone and looked at the message Tian Ji had drafted, feeling speechless!

“Date? Missing you, my Pei!”

Anyone could tell that the message wasn’t from her, right? Pei Jue not only believed it but also made such a grand effort to come!

Pei Jue chuckled softly, still holding Qingwu’s waist without letting go.

“I knew it wasn’t from you, but I really wanted to go on a date with you, so I came.”

“I’m not very good at making girls happy. Annie taught me these things before, didn’t do a great job, so I hope my fiancée can be understanding, and I’ll do better in the future.”

He knew the message wasn’t from her, so why did he come?

Just because he wanted to date her?

“These were prepared on short notice, possibly not very good. I couldn’t find more rose flowers.”

He knew Qingwu liked roses, but finding so many roses in a short time was challenging, so he chose the more vibrant red roses.

“There’s no need. Next time, don’t make such a big move here.”

“Okay, next time we’ll meet somewhere else. I’ll give my fiancée a bigger surprise.”

“No need for that either.”

Forget surprises, Qingwu now felt that it would be fine as long as she didn’t encounter any fright when stepping out of her door!

But being valued by someone did feel nice!

“They said your experiment ended just now. Do I have the honor of going on a date with my fiancée?”

“…Sure.”

She couldn’t face going back to the lab right now; she could already imagine how the Beidou Star people would tease her if she walked in now…

Since she originally had something to discuss with Pei Jue, she might as well go together now!

Pei Jue’s car was parked at the edge of the flower sea. He thoughtfully opened the car door for Qingwu and leaned in to fasten her seatbelt, dutifully and responsibly.

Yet, from time to time, she caught the scent of his cologne. It was faint, but just like him, it invaded her life powerfully, making it hard for her to ignore!

“May I know what experiment my fiancée conducted this afternoon?”

“You guess.”

After pondering for a moment, Pei Jue raised an eyebrow and said, “Does it involve the parent-child relationship between Uncle Shen and the Shen Family elder?”

Qingwu turned her head to look at the swiftly receding scenery outside. This was a Shen family matter he shouldn’t meddle in, but whatever portion Pei Jue figured out on his own, she wouldn’t interfere.

“Old lady Shen is indeed not my biological grandmother. No other issues.”

As for Shen Yurou’s part, she still needed to discuss it with Shen Dongli to see how he viewed this issue… After all, whether it was Mrs. Shen or Shen Yurou, they were people who had been with Shen Dongli for a longer time!

Pei Jue chuckled softly.

“My fiancée seems cold as ice but is actually a good child who cares deeply about her family’s feelings.”

He was always very honest, wanting to express what was on his mind and let her know, at least allowing her to feel his passionate affection!

Qingwu propped her head with one hand to hide the blush spreading on her cheeks.

Whenever he said such things, there was always an ambiguous undertone…

“I’m glad, at the very least, after we get married, you’ll care for me just like you do your family.”

Pei Jue’s voice carried a joyful smile.

As Qingwu listened to him speak, her heart quietly missed a beat.

The care he wanted, was it just family-like affection…

Perhaps to Pei Jue, she was merely a necessary marriage partner, nothing more?

Qingwu couldn’t say whether she felt disappointed or sad, but her emotions briefly wavered.

“I have something I’d like your help with. You can name your conditions.”

“Tell me.”

Qingwu pursed her lips and explained the situation about Fujisan.

“My people aren’t in Melta Prison, but if Deep Sea needs information from other prisons, High Tower will provide it for free.”

Pei Jue looked ahead, his usual icy demeanor adorned with bits of softness, yet exuding an undeniable kingly aura—a demeanor typical of those long entrenched in power!

“I don’t need the prison information for now. If you want to go to Melta Prison, it’s not difficult, but you’ll need me to accompany you.”

He explained in a low voice, “My friends only recognize me. If you go alone, you won’t meet Fujisan. As for conditions, I’ll need to think it over carefully.”

After all, it was his fiancée’s first time asking him to name conditions, so he certainly wanted to seize this opportunity well!

Qingwu said blandly, “Past the deadline, it won’t be entertained.”

Pei Jue chuckled lightly, “My condition is simple. At least before I’m ready to take you to Melta Prison, think of me more when you have the time.”

His voice was cool yet tender.

“Xiao Wu, my condition is that you try to trust me a bit more. In reality, you don’t need any exchange of benefits; I’d still help you. Not all feelings in this world are measured by benefit.”

“I like you because you are you, not because you are a fool or someone else.”

Pei Jue looked into Qingwu’s eyes, his words carrying a commanding tone.

“I hope, or you could say I demand, that you also try to love me a little.”
