“Okay, I agree to that,” Pei Yucheng quipped quietly.
Lin Yan was speechless…
It was… done?
Had she misheard? Or was she dreaming?
Lin Yan had thought that this request would be really difficult and challenging. Who could have imagined that she would just have to move her lips and conjure some random reason… to succeed?
Lin Yan stood as still as a statue while Xing Chen, who had initially been panicked and jittery and had thought that he had gotten Lin Yan in trouble, was dumbstruck the next moment.
Xiaoyue… would be fine?
So this matter was over?
“Brother Yu!”
The man who seemed to be the leader frowned in disapproval. “Brother Yu, Miss Rong hates Ling Yue. How could you change your mind because of this woman?”
However, he didn’t get to finish his sentence.
Everyone only heard a slam.
Lin Yan and Xing Chen jerked in shock.
Both of them were stunned.
The man who had spoken had his head banged against the desk.
Pei Yucheng, who had still looked amiable and gentle a moment ago, pressed his palm against the man’s head. No matter how hard the man struggled, Pei Yucheng’s hand didn’t budge. It was like an immovable mountain.
“Brother Yu…”
Xu Yao and the others were rigid with shock.
Pei Yucheng’s bone-chilling gaze sliced across everyone before anyone could utter a word.
No one dared to speak after that.
“Brother Yu… You…” The man’s head was being pressed against the desk, and his forehead was covered in perspiration. He had no idea why Pei Yucheng would blow up abruptly or why he would attack him.
“Do you want to know why?” Pei Yucheng’s voice was as cold as ice and it sent chills down his spine.
“Brother Yu… I… I don’t understand…” The man gritted his teeth.
Pei Yucheng glanced at the man. “Ling Yue and Xing Chen are my people.”
He then added calmly, “No matter how badly they behave, no one else has the right to humiliate them.”
The man shuddered in fear and hastily added, “Brother Yu, I know… We didn’t think this through…”
“Plus…” Pei Yucheng glanced at Lin Yan, “You heard what Miss Lin said…”
Pei Yucheng’s eyes trailed to Xu Yao. “Do you understand?”
“I understand… it all… Brother Yu…” Xu Yao stammered hastily.
Pei Yucheng relinquished his grip and the man finally wriggled free.
“Do what you need to do.” Pei Yucheng waved his hands to dismiss them.
The group of men and women glanced uneasily at each other before they traipsed out of the room swiftly.
After they left, Xing Chen stared at Pei Yucheng in disbelief. “Brother Yu… Miss Rong…”
“Do what you should do,” Pei Yucheng told Xing Chen.
“Brother Yu, I’m sorry! I swear that I will control myself in the future. There won’t be a second time!” Xing Chen added quickly.
“Ling Yue can come back,” said Pei Yucheng.
Xing Chen was overwhelmed. “Brother Yu, thank you!”
“This had nothing to do with me,” Pei Yucheng replied.
Xing Chen understood what Pei Yucheng meant and whirled around. “Miss Lin, thank you!”
Lin Yan was still in a daze, as everything seemed like a dream.
When she recalled what had happened, she wondered what had come over her just now. She hadn’t felt afraid at all… Had she been this fearless all along?
Lin Yan had never expected that she would succeed so easily.
Today seemed like a horrible time to bring up that topic…
Pei Yucheng had really been very accommodating!
