The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Qingwu Once Saved Pei Jue Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Qingwu Once Saved Pei Jue He described his businesses as running rides for a service app?

Although when they first met, Qingwu did mistake him for a poor kid who had to rely on being an assassin and running rides for a living…

At that time, she even comforted him not to envy wealthy families, saying there was nothing good about them… Little did she know he was the head of the top financial conglomerate, the Pei Clan, worth enough to buy several people from the Dark Web, yet he chose to be an assassin there, which was simply unbelievable.

Not to mention he willingly picked her up and dropped her off at work every day…

Thinking about it now, it was indeed kind of funny!

Pei Jue led Qingwu all the way to the top floor of the mall, where Annie stood smiling with a velvet box in her hands at the entrance of the shooting range. “Miss, you look stunning today, and the boss is quite a person too.”

She’d be foolish to praise the boss in front of his fiancée. Besides, no one believes a boss looks good at work, they’re all just capitalists!

But miss was different, Miss was gentle, elegant, intelligent, and composed, practically the most beautiful princess in the world!

“Annie, I remember you and my second brother went out together?”

“Ah, the second young master arranged for me to follow Miss Shen Yurou. After she returned to Madam Shen, I came back to work.”

Annie thought to herself that it’s been a teary job, following Shen Yurou seems easy, but it’s not as simple as it looks…

For the past two days, Shen Yurou practically did nothing, apart from lying in a hotel or going to a nightclub. During the gap when she left the hotel to go to the nightclub, Annie sneaked into her room and swapped out the Primordial Energy Pill she bought, barely finding a place to step…

Remembering that room almost brought Annie to tears.

In all her years in this line of work, it’s the first time she encountered something like scavenging in a junkyard.

“I already sent the Primordial Energy Pill to Miss’s lab. This is a gift President Pei prepared for you.”

Annie opened the box in her hands, revealing a pair of exquisite couple’s watches resting quietly inside, wrapped in luxurious velvet, with every diamond sparkling brightly.

Inside the dial, there was an inconspicuous series of numbers carved.

Qingwu recognized it as a date.

“What does this mean?”

Pei Jue picked up the watch and put it on Qingwu, “The day I first met you. You might have forgotten, but it’s very important to me.”

“Wasn’t our first meeting at Qiao Xi Hospital?”

Of course not.

It was much earlier, in Myanmar North, when he was on the brink of death, about to meet his mother in hell, a pair of soft yet firm hands held his hand and pulled him back from the abyss!

“No, this was the real day.”

“I remember I should have been in Myanmar North at that time.”

Pei Jue held her hand, embraced Qingwu’s waist from behind, and lifted her hand with the watch just worn, aligning it with a distant shooting target.

His breath fell on her ear, so close that Qingwu could even hear Pei Jue’s heartbeat!

“It was in Myanmar North, and that day you were like this.” Pei Jue grasped Qingwu’s hand, pressing the hidden switch on the watch, and a sharp Sleeve Arrow shot out from the dial, hitting the bullseye!

“Just like that, you shot the Drug Lord blocking my way and saved me. If I knew back then you were my fiancée, I would never have let you go.”

Pei Jue’s voice had a faint huskiness, and his long eyelashes swept past Qingwu’s ear, as his breath and his kiss landed on her side cheek, stirring ripples…

Qingwu’s face instantly turned red as if scalded, and an indescribable emotion surged within…

“I don’t remember.”

“It’s been too long, it’s normal not to remember. It’s enough that I remember. The watch has three Sleeve Arrows, though they’re usually unnecessary, they’re quite useful for self-defense.”

This watch was personally modified by him. From the moment he first saw her, Pei Jue thought of giving her a gift that suited her best.

Jewels and diamonds he would give, those were for his noble and elegant fiancée.

The watch with a little mechanism and his unique thoughts was for the mysterious and domineering rival, who also happened to be the girl he liked!

“Because I saved you, that’s why you like me?”

“No, I like you, and then realized you once saved me. Logically speaking, it only made me like you more, not because of the debt of gratitude.”

Though these may seem similar, Pei Jue was persistently hoping she could understand that his affection would start without any regard to her identity!

In the corner, Annie, acting as a statue, had a look as if she couldn’t bear to watch.

The boss seemed to be on a roll! Just looking at Miss, it seemed like the boss might still need some time if he hoped to embrace the beauty in his arms…

When could Miss become her boss?

No worries, at worst, she would switch jobs to work for Miss, as High Tower would likely also need a smart and capable female aide, right?

Qingwu looked at the other watch in the box, meeting Pei Jue’s suggestive gaze, and knowingly took it out and put it on him.

“What’s in your watch?”

“Just an ordinary watch, if there’s anything different, maybe it’s because you put it on for me.”

He hadn’t put much thought into his watch; he just hoped that every time she checked the time, she’d think of him.

This way, it would be like he was part of all her time!

Qingwu thought for a moment, then took off the watch from Pei Jue’s hand and held it.

“Return the favor, let me modify it before giving it back to you.”

“Okay!”

Pei Jue suppressed his heart’s joy, his mouth forming a wide grin; even Qingwu couldn’t help but smile along seeing the jubilant expression on his face…

Perhaps it wasn’t a bad idea to try getting along with him?

At least it would also bring her joy!

A sudden phone ring broke the moment, and Qingwu glanced at her phone, “There’s an issue at the gallery, I need to go over.”

“I’ll take you.”

“No need, Annie can take me.”

If she wasn’t wrong, Pei Jue probably still had a bunch of things to deal with, and with his busy schedule finding time to accompany her, it was all because he got fooled by a message from Tian Ji…

“Alright, I’ll pick you up in the evening for dinner together at home.”

Qingwu nodded in agreement, leaving the mall with Annie amidst Pei Jue’s reluctant gaze.

Annie was truly excited!

Miss requested her to escort instead of the boss, what did that mean? It’s equivalent to her already being Miss’s employee!

Annie even felt she’d already seen High Tower’s offer… The boss wasn’t as important; wasn’t it more delightful to have a lovely and soft lady boss?

Qingwu sat in the car, her gaze calm.

“Annie, did you notice anything strange when you were following Shen Yurou over the past two days?”

“Let me think… Indeed, Miss Shen Yurou has been playing cards with a few people lately, but one of them wasn’t her usual card buddy before.”

Shen Yurou was typically the epitome of a spoiled young lady, either shopping or playing cards and hanging out in nightclubs.

Annie pondered, cautiously speaking up.

“And Miss, I suspect Miss Shen Yurou might have done something not quite right!”
