To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

Pei Shaoqing was very unhappy to see Qin Lie here, because this was Qin Xiaoru's residence, and Qin Lie should not be here, which made him have a bad feeling in his heart.

"Hey, Lao Qin, don't you have any cases recently? Why are you so idle?" Pei Shaoqing had a cynical smile on his handsome face. It looked like a teasing, but it sounded like a hint of sarcasm. He did not hide his hostility at all.

Qin Lie just frowned and looked at Pei Shaoqing, his tone somewhat cold, "Did you mention Wei Qian just now?"

"Yes, Wei Qian, what, is it not possible?" Pei Shaoqing asked back with a smile. Normally he should have asked "Do you know him?", but he asked "No". Even a fool could hear that he was provoking him.

Qin Lie's eyes were full of frost. He walked up to Pei Shaoqing. The two were very close. He continued to ask: "Which Wei Qian?"

Pei Shaoqing was a little impatient, "Who do you care about Wei Qian? There are so many people with the same name in the world. When Qin Xiaoru was in elementary school, there were two female classmates named Zhang Meng. What's so strange about this? You are a captain of the criminal police, but you don't investigate important cases. Instead, you are here asking questions about an insignificant person. Are you bored?"

Qin Lie pursed his lips.

Indeed, there are so many people with the same name and surname in the world, and the Wei Qian mentioned by Pei Shaoqing may not be the one he has been investigating recently.

And he is a criminal policeman after all, he must abide by the rules and not let Pei Shaoqing notice.

He nodded slightly as a greeting, and walked straight towards Qin Xiaoru's villa.

Pei Shaoqing said "Hey", quickly grabbed Qin Lie's arm, and asked with a smile: "Old Qin, where are you going?"

"Looking for Qin Xiaoru." Qin Lie answered as a matter of course.

Pei Shaoqing was so angry that he laughed, "No, what is the relationship between the two of you that you can come here to see her? And don't you have to go to work at this time?"

"I haven't had a rest for a month, and today happens to be half a day off." Qin Lie answered seriously and pulled Pei Shaoqing's hand down.

Pei Shaoqing put his hands in his pockets and smiled a little scoundrelly, "You only have half a day off, you must cherish it. Why are you running here instead of resting at home? Qin Xiaoru is not here."

Qin Lie suddenly smiled and said, "If you look for her, she will definitely say she's not at home, but I'm different. I'm her boyfriend."

Hearing this, Pei Shaoqing's eyes widened immediately, as if he had been possessed for a few seconds before he found his voice again. He gritted his teeth and laughed, "Boyfriend?! When did this happen? How come I didn't know anything about it?"

Qin Lie did not explain, but walked to the door and pressed his fingerprint. After the door opened, he walked into the villa quickly with his long legs and brisk steps.

Pei Shaoqing was shocked again. That damn girl Qin Xiaoru changed the fingerprint password and warned him that if he dared to crack it, she would break up with him completely. But she let Qin Lie in the blink of an eye. Was she doing this on purpose to piss him off?

He hurried after him.

Qin Lie frowned when he saw this, but he didn't stop him. After all, it was quite interesting to see Pei Shaoqing acting weird because of jealousy.

Pei Shaoqing gritted his teeth, "Qin Lie, don't you like Xiao Jiuer? Then why did you become Qin Xiaoru's boyfriend? Let me tell you, our Qin Xiaoru is not a substitute for anyone, she is unique."

Qin Lie said indifferently: "You think too much. I don't have that idea. Qin Xiaoru can't be Lu Xi's substitute, and no one can replace Qin Xiaoru."

"Then why did you become Qin Xiaoru's boyfriend? Don't tell me that you fell in love with Qin Xiaoru so quickly!" Pei Shaoqing was furious.

Qin Lie was stunned for a moment, and then he said in silence: "Relationships can be cultivated. Qin Xiaoru and I can cultivate relationships."

"Ha, cultivate? Do you think you are a petri dish? With your job, you don't have a break for months at a time. Do you have time to cultivate? Why don't I do it for you?"

Qin Lie raised his eyebrows. How could he not know what Pei Shaoqing was thinking?

It's interesting to say that he and Qin Xiaoru became boyfriend and girlfriend only two hours ago. He mentioned it to Shen Mo on the way here, but Shen Mo laughed and said, "Then Shaoqing will probably be furious. He has liked Xiaoru for a long time."

As for Qin Xiaoru's thoughts, Qin Lie didn't quite understand, but he was a criminal policeman with a sharp mind, and he could probably sense that Qin Xiaoru had feelings for Pei Shaoqing.

He approached Qin Xiaoru, not only because he didn't dislike her and he should find a partner, but he also had other purposes.

The two men entered the villa together. The moment the door opened, they could see sunlight pouring into the kitchen. A slim girl wearing an apron was standing by the stove. Her slender white hands were holding a rolling pin more than half a meter long, rolling the noodles diligently.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qin Xiaoru turned around and said, "Brother Qin, come here..."

She originally wanted to say, "You're here, wash your hands quickly, the hand-rolled noodles will be ready in a while", but when she saw Pei Shaoqing with Qin Lie, she swallowed the rest of the words and frowned, "Why are you here?"

Hearing her unfriendly tone, Pei Shaoqing was immediately amused, "Why can't I come? Qin Xiaoru, you have grown wings. Do you think that after leaving the Pei family, you will no longer be my little nanny?"

Qin Xiaoru's face turned cold. "I know I was your nanny. I am of humble status and there is a world of difference between me and you. You don't need to remind me repeatedly."

"Hey, you damn girl! Isn't that what you meant? Check your own conscience. Have you been of a lowly status in the Pei family all these years? Did I treat you as a nanny? You conscienceless damn girl, I treated you so well and treated you like my own wife, but you treated me like this!"

Pei Shaoqing felt his nose getting a little sour as he spoke. He had already opened his heart out, so how could this damn girl not understand his feelings at all?

Qin Xiaoru lowered her long eyelashes and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

The reason why she was so sarcastic towards Pei Shaoqing today was because when she returned to the Pei family, she met a servant who not only mocked her but also boasted, "Our young master met a lot of rich ladies in the past two days, and they all seemed good. Madam is considering which daughter the young master should marry. You should stay away from the young master and don't appear in front of him again. You are not worthy of him."

Qin Xiaoru had such a hot temper, how could she possibly suffer a loss? So she beat the man directly.

The servant's name was Li Lu. She had worked in the Pei family for a year. Because she was a college student majoring in food nutrition, her status was slightly higher than that of ordinary servants.

After being beaten, Li Lu reported the incident to Pei Shaoqing's mother. Pei's mother did not blame Qin Xiaoru, but she also scolded her and told her to behave like a girl and not hit people at will.

Li Lu was not convinced. "Madam is partial to me. What's so great about her? We are both servants. Why can Qin Xiaoru order us around like a rich lady? I also went to college, and Lu Xi is my schoolmate. So why should I be inferior to Qin Xiaoru?!"
