Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Qingwu Is Really Tempting Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Qingwu Is Really Tempting Qingwu turned slightly, instantly feeling President Pei’s presence, enveloping her dominantly.
“Let go,” she said.
“Just a moment, you wouldn’t want to disturb the others, would you?”
How did it become that she would disturb others?
President Pei held Qingwu with his arms around her slender waist, “Look, Mother and Grandfather are still in the garden.”
Old Master Zuo Jing’an had a fondness for flowers and plants. Late at night, he suddenly recalled that the Shen Mansion had quite a few night-blooming cereus and eagerly got up to look at them. Zuo Wanjun couldn’t persuade him otherwise, so she simply accompanied him.
Qingwu’s room was on the second floor, offering the best view. With a glance, she could see most of the Shen Mansion, and similarly, anyone in the garden could look up and see the scene on the balcony.
If the Shen Family saw President Pei holding her like this, Qingwu dared not imagine what might happen tonight.
“If you let go, it won’t affect the others.”
President Pei tightened his grip a bit more, his breathing suddenly becoming even more heated, blowing against Qingwu’s neck.
“But I can’t bear to,” he murmured.
Did she not realize how much allure she held for him? Every time he saw her, his heart raced even faster.
At this rate, it seemed he would become unsatisfied with merely holding her!
To avoid disturbing others in the villa, Qingwu remained silent and didn’t push President Pei away, allowing him to hold her quietly.
His heartbeat aligned with hers, and the thick masculine aura surrounding her made Qingwu’s face flush red.
Why was her heartbeat as intense as his?
After five minutes, Qingwu spoke up, “Is that enough?”
Unwillingly, President Pei released his hold, saying meaningfully, “Only five minutes—my fiancée underestimated me.”
Even his smile carried an inexplicable wickedness, as if he might just devour the obedient girl before him. But he knew his fiancée wasn’t an adorable Vincetoxicum, so even if he couldn’t bear it, he had to restrain himself.
The night was deep, and President Pei felt the beast within him was about to awaken again!
It was all because she was too enticing, constantly making him lose control.
Qingwu’s ears turned red with embarrassment!
She always felt President Pei’s words held another meaning, and meeting his intense gaze made her feel as if she were about to ignite.
President Pei took her hand and leaned with her against the balcony railing.
“When do you plan to tell Grandfather about Shen Yurou’s matter?”
“What did you find out?” Qingwu asked.
“Whatever my fiancée finds out, I find out too.”
Qingwu pursed her lips, “I suspect Mrs. Shen’s sudden illness tonight was due to something Shen Yurou did.”
“I’m of the same mind as my fiancée.”
President Pei mischievously pinched Qingwu’s palm, “Judging by tonight, Shen Yurou likely doesn’t want to leave Beijing and is trying to delay.”
Qingwu glanced at him.
“Are you very concerned about her?”
“Of course not. Why should I care about her? I only care about you, Qingwu.”
Meeting Qingwu’s gaze, President Pei couldn’t help but find her especially adorable.
How could she think he cared about Shen Yurou? To him, Shen Yurou barely existed!
“It’s just that she always interrupts my time with my fiancée, which gets a bit annoying.”
The time he painstakingly carved out to spend with Qingwu wasn’t for seeing irrelevant people!
Qingwu responded quietly, “Whether she wants to go or not has nothing to do with me.”
Nonetheless, the Shen Family had the right to know the things Shen Yurou had done.
“I support all of my fiancée’s decisions.”
“You can go now, my grandfather has glanced at you several times.”
In the garden, Zuo Jing’an had been coughing several times as he watched President Pei and Qingwu holding hands on the balcony.
That brat—he’d given him plenty of time for their date; how long did he plan to linger?
President Pei chuckled, bending down to place a goodnight kiss on Qingwu’s hand.
“Goodnight.”
His actions were always gentlemanly and impeccable, leaving no room for fault.
After the kiss, President Pei turned and left Qingwu’s room, heading to the garden to speak a few words to Zuo Jing’an.
From Qingwu’s perspective, she could see President Pei bent over discussing the night-blooming cereus with Zuo Jing’an, amusing the old man into hearty laughter with just a few words.
Zuo Wanjun stood nearby, her eyes filled with affection, looking at President Pei with even more satisfaction than at her own sons!
Such a high and mighty person like President Pei, who could also so harmoniously get along with her and her family, reminded Qingwu of his promise to love her family.
The lights across the villa soon lit up, and President Pei stood on his balcony, gazing at Qingwu with a face full of gentle, warm smiles.
Even though he could only see her across the garden, it was better than not being able to hold her just moments ago.
Yet, for her to willingly live with him would have to wait until after they married!
Shen Boyi walked into Qingwu’s room, pulling the curtain closed with a cold expression and casting a warning glance at President Pei.
“Is President Pei very idle? Qingwu, would you like to change rooms and move to a quieter one so you won’t be disturbed?”
“No need, moving back and forth is troublesome.”
She had become accustomed to this room.
“Qingwu, don’t let that rascal Pei fool you!”
Qingwu looked puzzled, “Brother, what could he deceive me about?”
Facing Qingwu’s clear eyes, Shen Boyi suddenly choked on his words!
He couldn’t just tell his sister that scoundrel Pei looked like he was out to do something to her!
No, no, saying such things would definitely frighten her!
Contemplating for a moment, Shen Boyi simply moved a chair over to sit beside Qingwu.
“Qingwu, do you like him?”
Like… this emotion seemed distant, and liking someone even more so.
But she didn’t mind President Pei’s proximity, didn’t resist his protection in danger, and was willing to entrust her back to him… so perhaps it was like?
Whenever he embraced her, she felt her heart race, but was that attraction?
Thinking it over, Qingwu opted for an honest response.
“I don’t know, but I don’t dislike it.”
Tears filled Shen Boyi’s eyes, feeling as if his little sister was being taken away, but he forced a kind smile.
“Alright, as long as you’re happy. If he bullies you, remember to tell your brother.”
“I know.”
Shen Boyi patted Qingwu’s hair, then asked seriously, “How’s Grandmother?”
“In the ICU. Brother, I have a question for you.”
“Go ahead, I’ll tell you everything I can.”
Looking intently at Shen Boyi, Qingwu asked, “Brother, I want to know what you really think of Mrs. Shen.”
The Shen Family’s attitude towards Mrs. Shen would determine whether or not she would reveal her findings to them!
