Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

Quan Jiuxi was slightly stunned, then slowly stood up and walked towards Pei Zhi.

Every step was like stepping on his heart, but it was bitter.

The sunlight shone in through the window, casting a soft halo around Quan Jiuxi.

Quan Jiuxi stood in front of him, turned around, and smiled with a sweet tone, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm doing well."

Pei Zhi's beautiful eyebrows drooped slightly, and his thick eyelashes hid the surging emotions in his eyes.

His eyes gradually became filled with a strong coldness, and the hand holding the chair seat hidden under his sleeve tightened, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

She should be happy, at least she is living a good life.

But this happiness made his heart even more painful, like a trapped beast struggling alone in the dark.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the top of her head with his slender fingers, his movements gentle and cautious.

He stared at her with deep eyes, as if to imprint her appearance deeply in his soul.

"That's good."

"Uncle, I have to thank you very much. Back then, I had those thoughts about you and caused you trouble."

Quan Jiuxi spoke these words word by word, staring at him without blinking.

Pei Zhi chewed over these words in his heart, and they tortured his heart piece by piece.

The pain raged through his body like a poisonous snake, but from this pain a strange excitement arose, making his breathing become rapid.

He slowly raised his drooping eyes and met Quan Jiuxi's gaze, but his voice was surprisingly calm, "Time flies. You were only eighteen when you left without a word."

"You were young and ignorant at that time. Didn't I come back to see you?"

Quan Jiuxi tilted his head, still with a smile on his face.

"If you still recognize the Pei family, please return to Ruijing Mansion to discuss cooperation for a few days."

Quan Jiuxi nodded and did not refuse, "Okay."

At this moment, a sudden cell phone ring rang in the quiet conference room.

Quan Jiuxi quickly took out his cell phone and said, "Uncle, I need to take a call."

Pei Zhi nodded, his eyes were terrifyingly calm, but beneath the calmness seemed to hide a surging undercurrent.

Quan Jiuxi picked up the video, and Pei Zhaozhao's cute little pink face instantly appeared on the screen.

"Mom, I want to find Dad." The little girl's voice was soft, full of eagerness and anticipation.

Quan Jiuxi turned around quickly, looking a little flustered, "I'll go out and answer it."

Quan Jiuxi pushed open the door and walked out. Pei Zhi's eyes followed her back closely, with complex emotions intertwined in his eyes.

The soft female voice on the other end of the video echoed in Pei Zhi's ears, swallowing him unwillingly.

If he hadn't lost her at that time, would there have been another possibility?

The thought of Quan Jiuxi knowing and falling in love with someone else made him extremely angry and jealous.

Quan Jiuxi said to Pei Zhaozhao at the door, "Baby, don't be anxious, wait a few more days."

"Mom, you lied. You said you would let me see you when we returned." Pei Zhaozhao curled her lips, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Quan Jiuxi was embarrassed for a moment.

The next second, Pei Zhaozhao burst into tears, "Wuwuwu, Jack always shows off that he has a father named Daniel, and I always brag that my father is more powerful. How can I survive in the manor in the future! Wuwuwu!"

Quan Jiuxi quickly coaxed: "I'll show you dad first, don't cry!"

Pei Zhaozhao sniffed and forced himself to hold it back, "Okay."

Quan Jiuxi quietly turned on the rear camera at the door, facing the conference room, and showed it to Pei Zhaozhao carefully.

Pei Zhaozhao was very happy, with smiling eyes, and said to Leng Mei beside her, "Grandma, please take a picture for me. I want to send it to my friends!"

Leng Mei gently wiped her little face dry, "Okay."

After taking the screenshot, Quan Jiuxi breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at his phone, he saw Pei Zhi's sharp gaze through the screen.

She was so scared that she trembled and hung up the phone in a hurry.

When he pushed the door open again, Quan Jiuxi's face was full of embarrassment. He forced a smile at the corner of his lips and said uncomfortably:

"Uncle, this child is too noisy."

In the conference room, Pei Zhi's straight back looked even more slender.

His handsome face, as delicate as a sculpture, remained calm without a single ripple. He only raised his eyes slightly, his gaze falling lightly on Quan Jiuxi, "It's okay. Bring it to me when you have a chance."

The smile on Quan Jiuxi's face became increasingly unnatural, and he chuckled awkwardly twice, "I will."

Pei Zhi raised his sleek wrist, glanced at his watch elegantly, and said slowly, "Let's have dinner together."

His tone was decisive and resolute, leaving no chance for Quan Jiuxi to refuse.

Then he called Yu Wei to make arrangements.

The driver parked the Bentley steadily at the gate.

Quan Jiuxi followed behind Pei Zhi, the bright sunlight shone on them, reflecting the figures of both of them.

All of a sudden, all the employees of Pei Group noticed them and cast curious and inquiring glances at them.

The entire Pei family knew that the adopted daughter of the Pei family had returned.

The two of them walked slowly to the door. Pei Zhi stretched out his slender hand and opened the car door for Quan Jiuxi.

Then he held the door frame with his other hand and said softly, "Get in the car."

Quan Jiuxi nodded slightly and got into the passenger seat.

Pei Zhi then stood up straight, strode to the driver's seat, and gently closed the car door.

The vehicle started slowly and moved forward steadily.

However, there was an oppressive silence in the carriage.

Quan Jiuxi finally couldn't help but break the silence first and said, "Uncle, have you been so busy these years?"

Pei Zhi stared intently at the road ahead, his hands expertly manipulating the steering wheel. His voice was deep and magnetic as he replied, "Same as before."

"You can never make enough money, so you should rest more."

Quan Jiuxi turned his head and looked at his slightly tired face.

Pei Zhi nodded slightly and curled the corners of his lips, "Okay."

In the past few years, no one cared about him except his family, and others were either afraid of him or flattered him.

Only she, even after not seeing her for five years, remains the same.

"Are you engaged to Zhong Liqi?" Quan Jiuxi asked casually.

I don’t know how the male and female protagonists are doing now.

"No, I won't arrange marriage." Pei Zhi's answer was concise and clear, his tone firm.

In the first two years of his reign, Pei Zhi faced enormous pressure and relied on his outstanding abilities to prove to everyone that he did not need to consolidate his position through marriage.

“Aren’t those directors pushing you?”

"Their opinions don't matter."

A director only needs to have ideas about the company's decisions. If he also has to take care of his family affairs, it is better for him to retire early.

"You don't have anyone you like either? Uncle, you're already thirty, have you ever been in love? How about I introduce you to someone?"

Quan Jiuxi admitted that his words were deliberately probing. Now that things had come to this, he didn't believe he could still be so calm.

At this time, the red light came on and the vehicle slowly stopped.

Pei Zhi tightened his grip on the steering wheel, turned to look at Quan Jiuxi, his eyes filled with endless emotions, and said slowly, "No need."

During the year that Quan Jiuxi was away, his grandfather knew his thoughts and had him engaged to Zhong Liqi, thinking that if Quan Jiuxi still had him in her heart, she would definitely come back.

Even if it's fake.

But he did not obey his grandfather's arrangements, he was loyal to his own soul.

And his soul had already followed her away.
