Chapter 208: The Naughty Miss vs. the Abstinent Ruler 19

After an unknown amount of time, the car slowly stopped in front of a high-end restaurant.

"Here, get out of the car."

Quan Jiuxi unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and got out.

The two walked into the restaurant side by side, melodious music echoing softly in their ears.

The dazzling crystal chandeliers emit a soft and warm light, the exquisite oil paintings on the walls add a touch of artistic atmosphere, and every exquisite decoration demonstrates unparalleled luxury.

They walked to the window and sat opposite each other.

The waiter, dressed in neat uniform, came forward respectfully with a smile on his face and handed over the menu with both hands.

Pei Zhi handed the menu to Quan Jiuxi and said softly, "Order whatever you want."

Quan Jiuxi took the menu with a smile, and gently turned the pages with his slender fingers. "Then I won't be polite."

While the two were dining quietly, the door of the restaurant was slowly pushed open.

Quan Jiuxi looked up inadvertently and his eyes were fixed on the two people who walked in.

The two people who just entered the door also saw Quan Jiuxi. Their eyes widened slightly and a hint of surprise appeared on their faces.

Pei Xingze was wearing a casual suit, his hair was a little messy, and he looked the same. "Quan Jiuxi? When did you come back?"

"just came back."

Zhong Liqi was wearing a light pink cheongsam embroidered with delicate floral patterns, her hair was tied up, and she wore a pair of pearl earrings. She spoke softly, "Xiao Xi, it's been a long time since we last met."

Quan Jiuxi nodded, "Indeed."

"Where have you been all these years? Who did you come here to eat with?" Pei Xingze looked to the side curiously.

In an instant, the expression on his face froze, "Little...little uncle...it turned out to be you."

Zhong Liqi was also a little surprised.

Pei Zhi nodded slightly, looked at Pei Xingze with a sharp gaze, and said in a low voice, "Shouldn't you be at the company at this time?"

Pei Xingze felt that cold sweat was about to break out in an instant.

In the past two years, Pei Zhi asked him to learn management in the company. At the beginning, he was very happy and felt that he could show his talents.

But after only two months, he regretted it.

Today, after the spy in the president's office finally told him that Pei Zhi was not in the company, he couldn't wait to sneak out.

Who would have thought that Pei Zhi would eat in this restaurant!

"Uncle, I'll go back right after I eat." Pei Xingze's voice was trembling a little, and he didn't dare to look Pei Zhi in the face with panic.

Pei Zhi's expression was cold. "Go back and reorganize the project report for me."

Pei Xingze's face fell when he heard this, "Uncle, can you be flexible?"

Zhong Liqi quickly pulled Pei Xingze's sleeve and said gently, "Xingze, don't be willful with President Pei. Xiaoxi, I'm sorry, Xingze is just childish like that."

Quan Jiuxi smiled slightly, "It's okay."

Zhongli Qi looked at Pei Zhi, her eyes revealing complicated emotions.

She clenched her hands so tightly that her knuckles turned white from the effort.

She hadn't seen Pei Zhi for a long time. She had invited him countless times, but none of them worked.

There are rumors in the world that she will marry Pei Zhi, but time flies. Now she is 29 years old, and most people of the same age have already entered the marriage hall.

Pei Zhi had repeatedly stated that he did not want to be married, but her parents always believed that as long as Pei Zhi was not married, she still had a chance.

Not only that, her parents also let her hang Pei Xingze.

Why?

Before she came of age, she always regarded herself as a princess, the most famous lady in Beijing, and was praised by everyone for her knowledge and good manners.

But after she grew up, she was no longer a princess, but a tool instead.

Being manipulated like a puppet.

This feeling of being used almost suffocated her.

The huge gap made her unable to suppress the resentment in her heart. She resented her own relatives and also resented the Pei family.

"Want to come together?"

Quan Jiuxi noticed Zhong Liqi's gaze, curled his lips slightly, and smiled faintly.

"No, no, I won't interfere with your dinner with my uncle." Pei Xingze shook his head hurriedly.

Zhong Liqi's gaze fell on Quan Jiuxi. She was still the same as she was five years ago.

Even more beautiful and noble, exuding a sense of pride.

She is just an adopted daughter.

In the past, I looked down on this adopted daughter so much, and now I am so envious and jealous of her.

Even Pei Zhi.

When looking at her, I can feel the restrained emotions.

It turned out to be the case.

She secretly mocked herself in her heart, and her malice was magnified infinitely like a tide.

If the people in Jing City knew about Pei Zhi and Quan Jiuxi, it would be a huge scene.

If she remembered correctly, Quan Jiuxi was the descendant of Pei Zhien.

The niece who was raised since childhood and the uncle who became your own uncle, even if they are not your biological children, are enough to cause rumors.

She was looking forward to it so much.

After the two left, only Pei Zhi and Quan Jiuxi were left in the restaurant.

Quan Jiuxi's delicate face was filled with satisfaction as he ate in big mouthfuls like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

After living abroad for many years, I found that even the food in Chinese restaurants is far less authentic than that in China.

Then, he called the waiter and ordered a table full of dishes, along with some sake.

Pei Zhi frowned slightly, his deep eyes showing concern, "How long have you not eaten?"

Quan Jiuxi was silent, "......"

"Do you think I ate too much?" She tilted her head back slightly and squinted her eyes.

"No, I'm just worried that your stomach might be uncomfortable." Pei Zhi poured her a cup of hot water and said.

Quan Jiuxi shook his head, his red hair swaying, "No, don't worry."

Although the alcohol content of sake was not high, Quan Jiuxi drank the whole bottle.

When she came out of the restaurant, a gentle breeze blew, and her fair little face suddenly turned intoxicatingly red.

Pei Zhi took off his coat and handed it to her, "Put it on."

Then he walked towards the car.

Quan Jiuxi sighed softly, what a gentleman.

Five years ago, I helped her put it on, but now I am restrained and polite.

She put on Pei Zhi's coat, was enveloped by his breath, and took a deep breath.

She sat in the car, rubbed her belly, and raised the corners of her mouth. "That's great. I'll bring Zhao Zhao here next time."

Pei Zhi's eyes were filled with complex emotions. After a long moment, he finally said, "Okay."

Was it because by that time, he was no longer by her side?

……

After returning to the company, Quan Jiuxi had to discuss cooperation in the afternoon, and he was bored and played games in Pei Zhi's office.

She stared at the computer screen, her fingers moving quickly on the keyboard, but the more she played, the more her vision became blurred, and the picture in front of her began to double.

The operation also became sluggish, and the characters in the game died one after another.

"Damn!" She couldn't help but swear, her face full of regret.

This wine has a strong aftertaste.

Pei Zhi sat at his desk, flipping through the documents intently, making annotations on the paper from time to time with the pen in his hand.

Occasionally he would look up at Quan Jiuxi sitting there playing games.

At that moment, it seemed as if time had gone back and the scene before my eyes seemed familiar.

Quan Jiuxi was tired from playing and slumped on the sofa in frustration, like a deflated ball.

Her eyes became blurry and her cheeks were stained with a light blush.

His gaze slowly turned to Pei Zhi, who was wearing a black turtleneck sweater, which further highlighted his slender neck and broad shoulders.

The gold and silver-framed glasses on his straight nose added a touch of abstinence to him.

Quan Jiuxi was mesmerized, with only Pei Zhi's figure in his eyes.

Until Pei Zhi noticed something and raised his head, and asked softly in a low and magnetic voice: "What's wrong?"

Quan Jiuxi raised a wanton smile at the corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes, raised three slender fingers and bent them gently, showing his dandy demeanor, and his voice was lazy and charming.

"Come here and kiss me."
