Chapter 247: Chapter 247 The House Was Robbed, Big Brother Is Upset Chapter 247: Chapter 247 The House Was Robbed, Big Brother Is Upset Qingwu didn’t look up, but her grip tightened a bit.
“If you keep staring, I wouldn’t mind leaving you in pain for a few more days.”
Pei Jue turned around and picked up a thin jacket with his other hand, draping it over Qingwu’s shoulders.
“It’s because my fiancée is too enchanting.”
It was indeed his fault, but every time he saw her, Pei Jue realized that his self-restraint, which he used to pride himself on, amounted to nothing!
Qingwu put on the jacket and rebandaged the wound on Pei Jue’s hand, tying a knot.
“All done.”
Qingwu deftly cleaned the blood-stained bandage and sprayed the room with a fragrance to eliminate the blood smell.
Only then did Pei Jue answer Qingwu’s earlier question.
“No big deal, if they want the president’s position at the Pei Group, just let them have it! After all, the president is just a tool for the board of directors. I don’t mind taking a break for a while.”
Being the largest shareholder of the Pei Group, Pei Jue’s shares were what allowed him to dominate the Pei Group with unrivaled power!
But if they wanted what was in his hands, they had to have the weight to seize it!
Just in time, he could use the opportunity to spend some time with his fiancée!
“Are you going to school tomorrow? Staying at home?”
“Yeah, my big brother sorted out the paperwork for me. No dorm.”
The Shen Family couldn’t bear to let Qingwu go, and the school being close to the Shen Mansion made Zuo Wanjun reluctant to send her precious daughter to share a cramped dorm with several classmates.
So, Shen Boyi handled the paperwork for Qingwu, allowing her to stay at home in the Shen Mansion each day.
There were still many matters left to deal with at the Beidou Star and High Tower, so staying at school wasn’t convenient either!
After sending Qingwu off to school, Zuo Wanjun and Shen Dongli turned around and boarded a plane to Barcelona, starting their world of two…
Pei Jue also found this arrangement satisfactory. If she stayed in the dorm every day, it would be even harder for him to see her. He couldn’t exactly wait at the school building for her, could he?
But imagining that scene, Pei Jue thought it didn’t seem half bad either…
“Do you want me to pick you up and drop you off at school?”
Qingwu glanced at him, “It’s just a few minutes away. It’s not necessary.”
“Of course it’s necessary. My fiancée doesn’t have a driver’s license, and going home alone is a bit troublesome. My fiancée won’t despise me for being out of work recently, with no proper job, will you?”
His recent lack of work wasn’t because he hadn’t deliberately thrown the company’s affairs aside?
Who didn’t know that the Pei Group was still under his command and that even the old man was working under Pei Jue now?
The Pei Family’s takeover of the group wouldn’t reveal all the pitfalls Pei Jue left them until they took the reins.
Whether they chose to grit their teeth and fill the holes with their personal funds or voluntarily relinquish power, they would suffer, caught between the wolves ahead and the tigers behind, with crocodiles lurking below…
Qingwu now realized that this man was devious to the extreme!
Qingwu asked, “Has anyone at Deep Sea ever said you have a dark heart?”
Pei Jue chuckled, holding his head with his uninjured hand, and looked steadily at his beloved before him.
“Whatever High Tower says about my fiancée, the people at Deep Sea say the same about me. In that regard, we’re quite a match.”
In fact, he thought they matched in many ways!
“I heard my fiancée played the Ancient Zither today. It’s a shame I wasn’t there to witness it. I really hope not to miss such incidents in the future.”
“It was unexpected.”
She hadn’t planned on taking the stage beforehand.
Wen Youjie’s low tactics, with a scent of pretense, were beneath Qingwu’s notice.
But seeing Ye Qilan’s grand setup, it seemed he was determined to have her take a walk on the stage.
Qingwu didn’t understand the meaning behind such actions!
Ye Qilan wasn’t someone who, after reaching a certain age, felt compelled to see children perform.
“Aren’t you going to be studying around Principal Ye later? Whatever he plans to do, you’ll eventually find out.”
Pei Jue took a hairdryer from the bathroom and beckoned Qingwu over.
“Come here.”
“What are you planning to do?”
Taking Qingwu’s hand to sit beside him, Pei Jue gently rubbed Qingwu’s scalp with his uninjured hand, the warm air from the hairdryer flowing over her hair.
Was he helping to dry her hair?
Their shadows appeared on the window; the man held a small hairdryer, diligently drying her hair.
Those hands, which signed contracts worth billions, took up a gun to eliminate enemies, or stirred the winds in unseen infernos…
Yet now, they were engaged in both a trivial and nontrivial act!
Pei Jue proceeded with caution, fearing to tug at Qingwu’s hair.
Her hair, smooth and silky like satin, required ample patience to dry.
“You don’t have to do this. I can do it myself.”
“Then consider it a reward for today’s performance.”
A reward?
The Shen Family indeed showered her with rewards. Before boarding the plane, Shen Dongli had generously bought Qingwu several ancient zithers and even said he’d personally make her one…
But the Shen Family treated her like the youngest child in the family!
“I’m not a kid, and I don’t need such rewards.”
Pei Jue paused the hairdryer and leaned forward, closing in on Qingwu, their breaths mingling, the distance intimate.
His gaze held a tenderness softer than the moonlight.
“That’s right, my fiancée is no longer a child.”
“So, Miss, may I pursue you? In an adult way.”
Qingwu’s heartbeat became irregular, and when she looked upon Pei Jue’s flawless face and his burning, fervent eyes, she found herself somewhat at a loss for words…
Pei Jue brushed his thumb over Qingwu’s cheek, “Although we have an engagement, I want to earn your recognition my way.”
The process might be challenging, but in order to win the heart of the girl he loved, he was willing to do whatever it took!
“Could you give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, to recognize your true feelings?”
If she held a place for him in her heart, he hoped she could see his heart!
If not, then he’d ensure that both her heart and eyes would focus only on him!
Meeting those eyes as deep as obsidian, where the affections and favoritism of the entire universe seemed to reside, even deities would find it hard to refuse him!
Qingwu’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
“Okay.”
…
Early the next morning.
Seeing Pei Jue emerge from Qingwu’s room, Shen Boyi’s eyes widened!
Did this kid stay in Xiaowu’s room all night?!
Though he saw Pei Jue sneak to find Xiaowu in the middle of the night, he refrained from interrupting as he didn’t hear Xiaowu calling for help.
Now seeing Qingwu and Pei Jue walking out together, Shen Boyi couldn’t sit still.
“What are you doing… How did this happen? President Pei, don’t tell me you were in Xiaowu’s room the whole night?”
Pei Jue smiled gently, courteous and amicable.
“Yes. I helped Xiaowu dry her hair last night, and she said it was too late, so she didn’t let me leave, inconveniencing her for the night.”
Qingwu glanced at him lightly, “You’re just shamelessly imposing.”
Claiming he couldn’t climb out the window with an injured wrist, Pei Jue stubbornly camped on her sofa the entire night, refusing to leave.
Seeing that Qingwu didn’t deny it, Shen Boyi admitted he was losing his cool!
With Shen Dongli and Zuo Wanjun barely off on a trip, the Shen Family home had been stolen!
