Chapter 349: Chapter 349 Can I Kiss You?
Qingwu silently glanced at Pei Jue.
Was she asking Pei Jue to go out with her now and do something in her room?
Pei Jue touched his nose; his tone seemed somewhat regretful.
“What a pity. I thought Qingwu was inviting me to your room.”
“You’ve never been there?”
“Climbing through the window is not the same as entering openly and honorably.”
Qingwu realized that Pei Jue was complaining that she had never given him an official standing!
Now, he was starting to talk about entering her room openly and honorably.
When he used to climb through the window, why didn’t he care about his dignity then?
“It wasn’t me who asked you to climb through the window before.”
“Qingwu, you’re really heartless. If it wasn’t for missing you, why would I do such a thing?”
While saying this, Pei Jue stood still, stretched out his arms towards Qingwu, and opened his warm embrace.
“Come here and let me hold you, I’ll accompany you wherever you go.”
They were just steps away from each other; the distance between Pei Jue and Qingwu was only a few steps as their shadows overlapped on the carpet.
It seemed like even their shadows were embracing.
Qingwu stepped forward and hugged Pei Jue’s lean waist; under the thin shirt, his muscular contours could be distinctly felt, he was like walking pheromone.
Just as they stepped out of the study, Qingwu saw Shen Shaojia waving to her.
“Qingwu, are you heading out?”
“Yeah, stepping out for a bit, what’s up?”
Shen Shaojia pursed her lips and pointed to the tightly shut doors of Shen Zhongshuang and Su Mi.
“I saw Mi Mi talking in the evening, and the second brother seemed a bit upset. Do you think he will be at a disadvantage if they date?”
Qingwu was silent for a moment, and decided not to tell Shen Shaojia what she had just seen.
Patting Shen Shaojia’s shoulder, Qingwu softly comforted her.
“Sister, have you ever heard a saying that high-end hunters often appear in the form of their prey? Right now, I’m more worried about Mi Mi being at a disadvantage.”
It appeared that Su Mi dominated the emotional aspect of Shen Zhongshuang’s feelings.
But the one desiring love was Su Mi, and the one possessing it was Shen Zhongshuang.
Hearing this, Shen Shaojia became even more worried.
“No, it’s okay if the second brother loses a bit, but what if Mi Mi ends up losing?”
“Don’t worry, the second brother seems to really like Mi Mi. Didn’t dad say that the children of Shen family are very devoted?”
Shen Shaojia felt a little relieved.
“I’ll ask again tomorrow. Mi Mi is a girl, alone; the second brother can’t treat her badly.”
As they walked out of the house, Qingwu got into the car with the door held open by Pei Jue, and saw a car pulling out of Shen family’s garage, heading towards the main gate.
Qingwu puzzledly said, “That’s my brother’s car; is he going to the company to work overtime?”
The affairs of Changrong Group and Shen Group were mostly managed by Shen Boyi, who often stayed overnight at the company instead of coming home.
But hadn’t Zuo Wanjun told Shen Boyi to have a blind date tomorrow?
And it was arranged at home.
Leaving in the dead of night, was Shen Boyi planning to avoid the blind date tomorrow?
“Ms. Shen, where do you want to go?”
Pei Jue leaned over to buckle Qingwu’s seatbelt and did not move away, his hand resting on the seat beside Qingwu and the other around her waist.
The car’s light was off; only the dim and somewhat ambiguous glow from the European craft street lamp outside shone in, casting a diamond-shaped shadow inside the car, adding a touch of romance.
Qingwu, looking at Pei Jue who was very close, felt her heartbeat suddenly accelerating.
…It seemed like she confirmed her feelings because every time she saw him, her heart would unavoidably flutter.
“May I kiss you, my beautiful fiancée?”
As Pei Jue patiently awaited Qingwu’s response, not hearing her reply for a moment, the scent of lipstick mingled with floral fragrance landed on his lips.
It was like fireworks bursting in his heart!
An electrifying sensation spread through his body from the spine, his mind went blank at that moment, and amidst their lingering breaths, Qingwu heard Pei Jue’s breathy voice near her ear.
“We can’t continue, you’re still young, you might get hurt.”
“Even if we were to continue, we have to wait until after we’re engaged.”
After understanding what Pei Jue was saying, Qingwu just wanted to cover her face and play the ostrich!
Seeing her cover her face and turn her head away from him, Pei Jue chuckled softly, rubbed Qingwu’s cute earlobe, and sat back to fasten his seatbelt.
A moment later, Qingwu patted her face and muttered, “To Feileng Jewelry Company.”
“Going to the company in the middle of the night, my fiancée?”
“Is that not allowed?”
As Pei Jue turned the steering wheel and drove onto the road, he smiled gently, “Of course, it’s allowed. Even if you wanted to go into space to look at the stars, I would accompany you.”
“…You don’t need to go to space to see stars, you can do it here too.”
Qingwu glanced at the dark night sky dotted with stars, where the Big Dipper shone brightly and the heavens were adorned with a chessboard of stars, while the world below remained serene and peaceful.
In the night, Qingwu touched the corner of her lips and added, “I mean, I can see stars by your side too.”
A boundless joy…and satisfaction spread in Pei Jue’s heart!
He freed one hand to hold Qingwu’s hand and kissed it lightly, treating it as if it was a treasure.
…
Feileng Jewelry Company.
The moonlight was like silk, stars sparse, but lights were still on at the ground floor of the company, and one could faintly see flashlight beams scanning back and forth in the sales department.
Qingwu accessed the company’s surveillance, only to find that all the cameras had been manually disabled at this time!
There weren’t many people with that level of access, but Zhong Yue was one of them!
As a jewelry company, the ground floor was dedicated to jewelry sales, and it housed countless precious jewels.
Qingwu gestured towards Pei Jue.
“Let’s go up and take a look.”
“Okay.”
Being among the top two assassins on the assassin rankings, Pei Jue and Qingwu could appreciate each other because of their absolute understanding!
Qingwu didn’t need to speak; Pei Jue slipped through the side door into the company.
Qingwu pulled her trench coat around her and walked towards the place where the flashlight light originated!
Voices emanated from a room up ahead.
Zhong Yue was beside himself with frustration.
“This damn Shen Qingwu, what the hell does she think she’s doing? I’ve been with the company for so many years, does she think she, a mere girl, can mess with me!”
The voice of the HR manager, Mei Xin, followed.
“What does a little girl know? It’s probably someone else trying to screw you over, using her as a pawn.”
“You’re right, but if it wasn’t for this brat, I wouldn’t have come to this point…”
Zhong Yue’s voice was sinister!
“I’ve arranged some guys who are prepared to risk their lives, we’ll seize the chance to take that damn girl away…”
Mei Xin screamed!
“Are you insane? You want to kidnap the Shen family’s daughter? Aren’t you afraid the Shen family will devour you alive?”
Zhong Yue chuckled maliciously.
“Not kidnapping her, I’ll find someone to sleep with the brat, shoot some videos, even the Shen family won’t accept their daughter being filmed like this, right?”
“I really want to see if President Pei would still want such a dirty woman after seeing those videos!”
