Xie Shuyao was still concerned about the food, but she heard Pei Jingyi say, "I can't eat anymore. Try again at noon."

Xie Shuyao: …

He dares to say it.

Xie Shuyao smiled slightly, tilted her head and asked, "Do you want me to stay here and have dinner with you tonight?"

Pei Jingyi was stunned, and actually started to think seriously. However, he couldn't figure out whether Xie Shuyao was joking or serious, so he asked tentatively: "Is it okay?"

At this moment, Xie Shuyao was already very sure.

How could it be such a coincidence? Coming to Nanyang and specifically asking Wangyue Tower to host the opening banquet, it was all a routine.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and opened her red lips slightly: "General Pei, I run a restaurant, not a restaurant for dinner. If you need someone to accompany you, go out, turn left and walk to the end. There are girls willing to go there."

Xie Shuyao thought he just wanted to tease her, so she pointed him in the direction of Baihua Tower.

That was the largest brothel in Nanyang.

After saying that, she packed up her things and was about to leave.

But before she could move, Pei Jingyi grabbed her hand.

Pei Jingyi obviously had a fierce face, but at this moment his expression was full of tenderness.

He gently grasped Xie Shuyao's fingers and said in a deep voice, "But I don't want to find anyone else, I only want you."

Pei Jingyi's voice is very nice, especially this low and deep voice, which seems to be alluring when it falls into the ears.

Seeing his aggrieved expression, Xie Shuyao felt hot in her ears. She shook his hand away and said, "Don't be like this. Didn't I tell you that I don't like you?"

Pei Jingyi's hands fell heavily back on his knees, his eyes looking straight at Xie Shuyao: "But when you looked at me just now, your expression was not like this. Are you sure you don't like it at all?"

Sure enough, he did it on purpose!

He actually wanted to seduce her with his beauty!

How could Xie Shuyao be fooled? She bit her back teeth angrily and said with a stiff upper lip: "It's not you. I like to look at all those with good figures."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Jingyi's expression suddenly became dangerous, and he said faintly: "Who else have you seen?"

Xie Shuyao: ... "That's not the point, okay? Who would strip and walk around like you?"

That means there is no more. Pei Jingyi's expression softened and he said, "So you admit that I have a good figure."

Xie Shuyao was speechless. Nonsense! She is not blind.

Seeing that she was still leaving, Pei Jingyi's face showed a hint of sadness and his tone became soft.

"Aren't we friends? Why don't you stay here and chat about the past? The emperor originally sent me to Nanjing to suppress the remnants of the rebellion, but I disobeyed his order, so I just want to stay here to see you."

Although Xie Shuyao didn't want to admit it, she must have blushed. Where on earth did Pei Jingyi learn this from?

She was a little angry and said without even looking up: "Please don't say such things. I can't bear it. If others hear it, they will say that I am a beauty who brings disaster. Besides, you can go wherever you want. It's none of my business."

It has to be said that Xie Shuyao's words hurt Pei Jingyi a little.

During the months they were apart, he had been trying to find out about her.

The good news is, she's doing fine.

The bad news is, she's doing just fine without him.

So he is really dispensable?

Pei Jingyi's lips were straightened. He looked up at Xie Shuyao and asked seriously, "Do you want me to leave?"

Xie Shuyao hurriedly ignored his burning gaze and said without hesitation: "Of course!"
