The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Words of Tigers and Wolves Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Words of Tigers and Wolves “How about my fiancée and I sleep together?”

Sleep together?

Qingwu raised her eyes to look at Pei Jue standing in front of her. The room was only lit by a small night light, and under the dim yellow glow, his brows and eyes carried an enchanting charm.

Meeting his intense gaze, Qingwu inexplicably felt a bit nervous.

“Your house isn’t far from mine, you should just go back.”

“How heartless. Doesn’t my fiancée know that climbing windows is also tiring?”

Tiring?

Did she ask him to climb her balcony in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

“You promised to keep me company for a day, did you forget, Xiaowu?”

Going to Qingshan County to see Shen Shaojia before having forgotten to have dinner with him—Qingwu indeed had promised to spend a whole day with Pei Jue.

Qingwu replied calmly, “Tomorrow.”

“No way, tomorrow is the Su family’s gemstone gambling event. How can that count as a date?”

“It’s all the same.”

How could it be the same?

What he wanted was alone time with her. Even if they did nothing together, as long as he could see her anytime, it would be enough!

“It’s not the same. My fiancée can’t take advantage of my liking her and deliberately play tricks.”

Pei Jue chuckled softly, being so close that his breath fell on Qingwu’s face.

This man just had an overwhelming aura, and his voice seemed to have an alluring hook.

Qingwu’s face felt a bit hot, and she discreetly moved back slightly.

“…Okay then.”

Pei Jue leaned in, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, “Can I kiss you?”

Qingwu’s heart raced, and her face grew even hotter.

The sound of a door opening and someone speaking suddenly broke the intimate atmosphere inside the room.

“Xiaowu, can I sleep with you? I can’t fall asleep…”

Shen Shaojia knocked on the door and pushed it open as she spoke, turning on Qingwu’s room light in passing. What she saw inside was a shocking sight…

Pei Jue’s collar was unbuttoned, and he bent over wearing just a bathrobe in front of Qingwu, her adorable sister in a pink nightdress, looking like they were about to kiss…

“My bad. I’m sleepwalking.”

Shen Shaojia quickly shut the door, reopened it after half a second to turn off the lights, and then closed the door again to leave.

“I’m only sleepwalking for a minute, hurry up, or I’ll call my brother!”

Shen Shaojia’s internal struggle was palpable.

She wanted to just shout for Pei Jue to leave, but seeing her sister like this—doesn’t seem like she disliked Pei Jue all that much?

And what if her sister was the one who invited him?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Shaojia was even more conflicted.

Qingwu coughed softly, “You should go back.”

Pei Jue kissed Qingwu’s forehead, “Goodnight. I’ll come to pick you up in the morning.”

“Hmm, goodnight.”

Qingwu opened the door; Shen Shaojia was squatting by the door, poking the carpet.

“Sister, come in.”

“So, that guy, Pei Jue, is gone? Xiaowu, how far have you both… progressed?”

Qingwu closed the door and lay down beside Shen Shaojia.

Shen Shaojia looked serious and calm as she warned, “Xiaowu, don’t get annoyed with your sister. It’s all because I care about you! No matter what, you have to protect yourself! And, you know, be safe.”

Qingwu: “???”

What kind of wild talk was her sister going on about!

Qingwu’s face instantly flushed red, and she raised the quilt to hide her face, “Sister, you’re overthinking!”

Shen Shaojia giggled.

Early the next morning.

Shen Boyi gazed without goodwill at Pei Jue, who was sitting beside Qingwu, joining them for breakfast.

Due to Shen Shaojia’s influence, Elder Pei had also moved in directly.

The Pei family didn’t have many people as it was; the eldest daughter lived abroad and rarely returned, and the two other sons were seldom seen. Elder Pei was lonely by himself.

When he said he wanted to move in, Elder Shen didn’t refuse.

Elder Pei had previously rather lived in a hospital than go home, which in its way was another form of loneliness.

Anyway, the Shen Family estate was spacious enough to arrange a room for Elder Pei.

Shen Boyi gritted his teeth, “Xiaowu, your brother is planning to install a fence below your room and keep a Tibetan Mastiff there, what do you think?”

Shen Dongli: “Are you out of your mind? Why keep a Tibetan Mastiff at home? Isn’t Xiaowu’s room overlooking a garden? Why install a fence, to guard against what?”

“Against thieves.”

Shen Boyi glanced at Pei Jue meaningfully.

Shen Dongli slapped him upside the head.

“No taste, Xiaowu’s garden was designed by me personally; adding a fence would make it ugly. Besides, there are no thieves in our neighborhood. If anything, you look like one.”

Shen Boyi skillfully dodged, his expression turning colder as he looked at Pei Jue.

“Who knows when one might appear?”

Last night, he had to rush to the office for an unexpected business order.

When he returned, he saw a figure descending from Qingwu’s room into the building next door.

At first, Shen Boyi genuinely thought it was a thief. But once he clearly saw the face, he was nearly angered to death in the middle of the night!

Pei Jue actually came out of his sister’s room in the middle of the night; certainly, he had no good intentions!

Shen Shaojia coughed twice and looked at Zuo Wanjun, “Mom, I slept with my sister last night. I didn’t hear you calling me this morning.”

Zuo Wanjun was gratified seeing how close they were.

These are their precious daughters of the Shen Family!

Shen Boyi’s face brightened upon hearing this, looking at Pei Jue with a much-improved expression.

After breakfast, Qingwu and Pei Jue left the Shen Family together, heading towards the Su family.

Pei Jue held Qingwu’s hand, “Your brother seems to have some misunderstanding about me.”

Qingwu glanced up at him.

“Last night when you returned from my room, Big Brother saw you.”

Annie’s eyes widened instantly, and she slammed on the gas, almost speeding at that moment.

Was the boss and the young lady progressing this quickly?!

Annie exclaimed excitedly, “Young lady, where do you like to go for your honeymoon? I’ve prepared numerous travel guides for you and the boss across many countries!”

Qingwu was silent for a moment, then spoke under Pei Jue’s expectant gaze, “Would you consider switching jobs?”

“You could come to work for me, and I’d give you time off.”

Annie’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, young lady! Though, I won’t switch. The boss once saved my life, so Deep Sea people wouldn’t leave the organization.”

Annie felt emotionally moved!

If she were an ordinary employee, she would definitely accept the offer to work by the young lady’s side immediately.

However, she had been saved multiple times by Pei Jue on international lines and vowed to work for Deep Sea forever!

“I really want to work for the young lady. But as long as Deep Sea hasn’t been acquired by High Tower, I will stay put!”

Anyway, by that time, even the boss would belong to the young lady, so it wouldn’t really be leaving the organization.

Qingwu understood. High Tower people would also not switch roles—it’s the faith and bond formed during life-and-death experiences!

“I will work hard to annex Deep Sea.”

Pei Jue chuckled, “There’s no need for so much trouble. If my fiancée wants it, it’s yours—like marrying me, everything I have would be yours.”

Qingwu glanced at him, then replied lightly, “I think I’ll have my brother buy a Tibetan Mastiff.”

Pei Jue caressed Qingwu’s face indulgently, “Little heartless.”

Did she really want a Tibetan Mastiff to bite him? He came looking for her late at night because he missed her like crazy!

Su Family.

Su Wenyin had prepared a lot for the gemstone gambling event. As long as he could shine in public today, he could truly secure his position in the Su Family!

“Fourth Young Master, the eldest daughter of the Shen Family and President Pei will also attend today. Do you wish to find a way to strike up a conversation with Lady Shen?”

Mentioning Qingwu made Su Wenyin’s face ache slightly.

He hadn’t forgotten the time she publicly humiliated him last time, yet that woman had such a noble status. Both the Zuo Family and the Shen Family treated her as their pearl.

To gain inheritance rights in the Su Family, Su Wenyin needed significant backing, and the Shen Family was perfect!

“Fourth Young Master, the Second Miss returned today as well, hasn’t she always had some interest in President Pei…”
