Although Song Yinyin didn't quite understand the second half of the sentence, she was sure that she was being beaten.

After Xie Shuyao heard her description, her face gradually turned red. She was stunned for a while before she said, "You heard it wrong."

Then he hurried to the front hall to eat.

She had exerted too much energy last night and needed to replenish her energy.

But Xie Shuyao didn't expect that when she arrived, there was already someone sitting at the dining table.

She stood at the door, turned her head to look at Song Yinyin, and asked silently: Didn’t you say you were going to court? Why are you here?

Song Yinyin seemed to understand her expression and shook her head helplessly.

Xie Shuyao stood at the door, in a dilemma. She was too ashamed to face Pei Jingyi.

Seeing that he didn't notice her, Xie Shuyao took half a step back and tried to slip away.

But at this moment, Pei Jingyi suddenly raised his eyes and stared at her without blinking.

As their eyes met, Xie Shuyao was in a dilemma. If she ran away, would it make her seem too guilty? Besides, she was really hungry.

Thinking of this, she pretended to be relaxed as she walked in, sat down next to Pei Jingyi, cleared her throat, and tried to keep her tone natural:

"If you hadn't gone to court, I would have thought you would eat outside."

Pei Jingyi calmly poured her a glass of water and said in a light tone: "I wanted to go with Lu Beixiao, but he had already eaten the meal made by the lady in the morning, so I came back."

Xie Shuyao: …

She knew every word, but she was a little confused about how to put them together and what they were trying to express.

Although she was puzzled, she did not ask any more questions and just started eating.

Pei Jingyi is usually not a talkative person, and without Xie Shuyao's voice today, the two of them had an exceptionally quiet meal.

However, in fact, Xie Shuyao always couldn't help but glance at Pei Jingyi out of the corner of her eyes. From her angle, she could just see that most of his neck was covered by his collar, but a scratch mark was still exposed in a corner. It was not difficult to imagine how cruel the person who attacked him was.

Xie Shuyao lowered her head even lower.

Not long after, Pei Jingyi had almost finished eating.

Seeing him put down his chopsticks, Xie Shuyao thought he was going to leave, but unexpectedly, he poured himself another cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Not only that, he was blatantly looking at her while sipping tea, his bony fingers pinching the teacup and his gaze lingering on her.

Xie Shuyao tried to ignore the burning gaze, but failed.

She was pushed into a corner, gritted her teeth and turned to look at him, her tone like a cat with its fur standing on end, "Why are you looking at me?"

Pei Jingyi was not impatient when he heard the question. His voice was low and magnetic. He glanced at her and said, "Can't watch?"

After that, he paused and said meaningfully: "Didn't you insist on..."

This sentence successfully irritated Xie Shuyao. She felt embarrassed and irritated. Before Pei Jingyi could finish, she tried to cover his mouth and said fiercely, "Don't say that! Forget everything that happened last night."

Pei Jingyi took her hand off her face, squeezed it in his palm, and said casually, "Okay, forget it."

Noticing his little action, Xie Shuyao's ears became even hotter, but her attitude finally softened a bit, and she complained, "Perfunctory."

Seeing that she was still dissatisfied, Pei Jingyi raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze obscure, "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

At this time, Xie Shuyao was standing and Pei Jingyi was sitting, so he was naturally shorter than her.

Looking at Pei Jingyi's eyes staring at her from below, Xie Shuyao couldn't help but think of last night.

Why did she feel that this man was seducing her?
