I looked at him and said with a funny look: "Traveling and vacationing are too troublesome. Besides, the reason why Lu Xialan invited me was simply to test your attitude towards me. Last time you scolded her because of me, she deliberately kept a distance from me. If you don't agree this time, she might continue to make things difficult for me in the future. You know that because of Pei Li, she has long regarded me as a thorn in her side."

As he said that, my voice gradually became weaker, "I have no other meaning. I don't want her to misunderstand anymore, and I don't want Pei Li to think that I have worked so hard to get into Lu's family because I want to get close to him..."

It is already a sensitive and embarrassing thing to meet your old lover again. Lu Xingyi can understand what I think now if he thinks a little about my situation.

Of course it was the embarrassment I pretended to be. Pei Li and I are currently in employment and are no longer just his next wife.

Lu Xingyi looked at me and sighed softly, "Okay."

"You agreed, it's so great." I said happily, but when I was excited, my elbow hit the water cup next to me, and the water cup suddenly fell towards Lu Xing.

In order to show sincerity, I received hot water. Seeing the full cup pouring directly on Lu Xingyi's pants, I was shocked and quickly squatted down and wiped it with the paper. While wiping, I asked nervously: "Are you okay? Have you been burned?"

"You go quickly." Lu Xingyi said with a dark face and grabbed my hand.

"I didn't mean it." I knew I had done something stupid, and explained aggrievedly, "How could I know that the glass of water was just there."

At this time, the door was opened from outside. Lu Xialan pulled Pei Li in and said, "Brother, I suddenly forgot something..."

She looked at us with her eyes wide open. I showed half of my body from Lu Xingyi's desk, my face turned red, and my hand was still stretching down. Lu Xingyi was holding my hand. This ambiguous action could make people think that it would make up for an extremely erotic office play.

"I have something to do, let's go first." I ran out quickly. When I went out, I was tripped a little while. Someone around me raised his hand and directly supported me. I looked up and saw that it was Pei Li, and his face was even more red. I wonder what kind of sarcastic face he would show when he asked me for information next time.

After returning to the office, his colleague asked with concern: "Qin Yan, what's wrong with you? He looks restless."

"It's okay, maybe it's a trait." I smiled embarrassedly, packed up my things and went home quickly, feeling that I would be embarrassed to see Lu Xingyi in the next few days.

Not long after he went back, Pei Li sent a text message to meet and talk about the matter.

As promised, I came to the billiards hall where there were very few families in the agreed family.

Pei Li was holding a club in his hand, wearing a simple white shirt, with buttons on his cuffs open, leisurely and calm, narrowing his eyes slightly, and gently lifting his hand and pushing it. The white ball directly hit the ball next to it into the hole, and hitting four in a row.

Although I don’t know much about the principle of billiards, I should have good skills when he plays well.

"What do you want me to do?" I was not in the mood to appreciate his skills and spoke directly.

Pei Li said lightly: "Do I congratulate you? You will be able to complete the task soon?"

"So far, the progress has not been large. It would be too early to complete the task." I said.

Pei Li raised his eyes and stared at me, his eyes sharp, and a sneered sneered at the corner of his lips, "It's already in the office. Should I praise you for having the means or praise your modesty?"

He said this in a strange tone, and I said unhappily: "All this I did is just to complete the task as soon as possible. You can ask for any task you have, and I will try my best to do it, but I hope that such ridicule will not appear between us, after all, we are just a simple employment relationship."

Because he is the one who pays the money, I am the one who does things.

I would never imagine that Pei Li said this because he was jealous. Because he and Lu Xialan were already so close, how could he be jealous of me, an irrelevant person?

Pei Li sneered, "You are very clean with me. Do you plan to choose to be with Lu Xingyi when you complete the work you have?"

I looked at him, "Who am I with? Is it related to you? Even if I am with Lu Xingyi, it is not your turn to point fingers. I know that I have a low status and are as lowly as mud on the ground compared to people like you, but this cannot be a reason for you to ridicule me. If you ask me to come just to say these things, then I will go back."

Seeing that my attitude was so intense, Pei Li's expression eased a little. He turned his face away and said lightly: "On the day Lu Xialan held a party, the domestic servants in Aunt Lu would come back to report the situation to Lu Xingyi. The reason why Lu Xingyi was unwilling to participate was that he didn't want people to notice this. Be careful to get close to you, see your daily life, and whether you can find out what you should be careful."

Aunt Lu, is Lu Xingyi's mother?

"What domestic servant? Is Lu Xingyi's mother not in the Lu family?" I asked in confusion.

"Aunt Lu went abroad to recuperate a few years ago, and only brought a close servant to take care of her daily life. Her whereabouts were secret, and all the contacts with the outside world were asked to be responsible for domestic workers. No one knew what disease she had and how well she was in her health." Pei Li said and sneered, "Maybe it's a heart disease."

"Did you have a heart disease because of what happened back then?" I asked.

Pei Li immediately stared at me, "What do you know?"

"I don't know anything." I answered honestly, "but I see you obsessed with this and it's so painful, so I guessed it in my heart."

He sighed softly, "I hope this is all my illusion."

If the truth is really as he thought, it would be a cruel blow to both families. The good brothers of the past became irreconcilable enemies, and the two families who were once as close as a family became enemies.

Looking at Pei Li in front of me, I suddenly felt a feeling of distress. I subconsciously raised my hand and patted his shoulder and said, "I think even if the truth is, the friendship between Lu Xingyi and you will not be adulterated. When you encounter difficulties, he stood up without hesitation every time. Moreover, ten years ago, if you were young, he would not understand anything. You are good brothers who grew up together."

Pei Li raised his hand and grabbed my hand and stared at me, with a cold look in his eyes, "Are you so impatient to whitewash the peace for him?"

I frowned in pain and raised my hand to struggle, but Pei Li grabbed my hand and made me unable to move at all.

"It hurts, why are you so tightly holding me? I just want to comfort you, and treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs." I couldn't help but curse.

He shook my hand away, took his face away and said, "No need to care, just do what you have in your hands."

I looked at him and couldn't help but say, "Pei Li, are you so close to Lu Xialan now? Is it just to investigate this matter?"

I saw Lu Xialan staying by Pei Li's side every day, and the smile on her face was so happy. Everyone guessed that the good things between Pei Li and Lu Xialan were approaching. The last farce of the engagement ceremony had been suppressed by the forces of the two families. No one would know that there was a man who did that for me. His original confession was like a flower in the dream of the moon in the water, making me suspect that it was my own hallucination.

It is all fake to say that I am not sad, so I couldn't help asking this question.

Pei Li frowned slightly, with a strange expression, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing." When I asked, I felt so stupid. He was obviously going to draw a clear line with me. I was still looking forward to something. I shook my head, turned around and walked outside.

Pei Li stood there like this, watching me leave without looking back.

"Party? Are you crazy? You actually went to the queue organized by Lu Xialan, so the little witch must be unhappy." Jiang Xiaobei opened his eyes wide and looked at me in disbelief.

I said helplessly: "Xiaobei, just accompany me to play. Lu Xingyi promised to be the host who took us to play."

Jiang Xiaobei was a little confused, "You have never been a lively person, why do you have to join the queue?"

"There are many delicious foods in it, and you can also meet different people. The people invited by Lu Xialan must be either rich or noble, and they may be able to attract investment for our pet hospital." I said happily.

Jiang Xiaobei sighed, "You want to see Pei Li."

"Pei Li? I've been tired of seeing it for a long time. He and Lu Xialan don't do anything every day, and always go in and out of Lu's company. It looks like they are specifically running to show their love. Sometimes I want to grab Lu Xialan's collar and tell her, don't always think I will steal your man. This man was obviously thrown away by me at the beginning." I waved my hand and said unhappily.

Jiang Xiaobei burst out laughing, "Why is Pei Li so disliked in your eyes? In addition to being your ex-husband, this person is actually quite good, probably the dream lover in the hearts of many girls."

"That has nothing to do with me. It is impossible for him and me to do it. Why do you need to think about this?" I raised my lips. If it were in the past, when I was far away from him, I might have missed him and imagined what happened in the past. But now I have become a simple employment relationship with him, and he no longer has the old love for me. Any missing at this time is futile.

Seeing me like this, Jiang Xiaobei felt a little distressed and patted my shoulder and said, "You can just think about it, there is no need to worry about them."

"So, just accompany me to open up a new world." I took her as she pulled her and said coquettishly.

Jiang Xiaobei noticed that I had made a move and looked at me with contempt for pretending to be pitiful and just now, but seeing that I was so desperate to want her to go with me, I had to nodded in disgust, "Okay, at worst, I will be bullied together at that time. Anyway, I have pulled you into the water a lot before."
