Divorce and flash marriage, CEO ex-husband regrets heartbreak

But Pei Linxiao did not let her go. He grabbed her head with his big hands and slowly pressed it down. His domineering actions revealed a toughness that would not tolerate any resistance.

Li Qin was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and her panicked gaze followed his well-defined abdominal muscles all the way down.

She struggled with her hands, crying, "Brother, don't do this, I..."

Jingle bell, jingle bell.

Suddenly, a crisp ringing sound broke the silence. Li Qin took advantage of the opportunity and quickly got up from under Pei Linxiao, then hid in the bathroom.

Pei Linxiao, who was watching her running as fast as a rabbit, exhaled deeply and turned on his phone. "Who is this?"

The call was from an unfamiliar number, so he didn't know who it was.

"Hello, Mr. Pei, it's me, Ruan Zheng. Are you available tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

Pei Linxiao was startled at first, but then quickly reacted, "Okay, let's choose Xishan Restaurant as the venue. Li Qin likes the food there."

The implication was that Li Qin should be invited to the meal, and of course, he was also indirectly telling Ruan Zheng that he was giving her this favor because of Li Qin.

But Ruan Zheng didn't play by the rules. "Sorry, Mr. Pei, the venue is fine at Xi Can Restaurant, but I want to treat you alone."

"Invite me alone?" Pei Linxiao was surprised.

"Well, I want to say thank you to President Pei in person. I hope President Pei can give me this opportunity." Ruan Zheng replied calmly.

Pei Linxiao narrowed his eyes. He naturally didn't believe what Ruan Zheng said about thanking him in person, so... she must have something to do with him.

But what he couldn't understand was why he had to avoid Li Qin?

He never thought Ruan Zheng was a stupid person, so she should understand that his rescue and politeness to her were all because of Li Qin.

Since it’s because of Li Qin, shouldn’t she bring that girl along when she invites him to dinner?

Unless she wanted to hide what she wanted to tell him from Li Qin, but what could she hide from that girl?

You know, that silly girl would risk her life for her, and she...

"Okay, I'll give you this chance. See you tonight." Pei Linxiao said and hung up the phone.

Then he threw his phone away and walked towards the bathroom.

The bathroom door had no lock, so he opened it easily.

Soon his tall figure cast a shadow in front of Li Qin.

Then, he forcefully clasped her hands above her head and fiercely grasped her lips, never satisfied, demanding endlessly...

In the evening, we had a meal at Jubilee Restaurant.

Pei Linxiao was already in the box when Ruan Zheng came over.

He had a stern expression and an outstanding temperament, but a closer look revealed that his face was a little cold and pale.

"Mr. Pei, are you feeling unwell? You don't look well."

Ruan Zheng spoke in a low voice. Before coming here, she had specifically asked Li Qin indirectly. She said that he had recovered well, so why now?

Of course, Pei Linxiao couldn't tell her that his wound burst open after having sex with that little girl Li Qin that afternoon.

"It's okay, Miss Ruan, please take a seat." Pei Linxiao spoke like a gentleman, his every move and gesture showing dignity.

Ruan Zheng nodded, said, "Thank you," and sat down gracefully.

"Mercenaries? Why would Miss Ruan hire mercenaries?" Even though Pei Linxiao was mentally prepared that what Ruan Zheng said was unusual, he still didn't expect her to mention mercenaries.

"Go to the cannibal island to save someone." Ruan Zheng did not hide it.

Pei Linxiao was even more shocked when he heard this, but he was always a sensible person, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Instead, he said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Miss Ruan. I don't have any connections in this area and can't help you. Sorry."

"Besides, escaping from a place like the Man-Eating Island once was already a stroke of luck, so I hope Miss Ruan won't take the risk again. Besides, you saw what happened that day. Aside from the unconscious residents on the island, I'm afraid the people you mentioned have already..."

"No, he is not dead. He must still be on the island. Mr. Pei, I really don't know who else I can ask for help except you. Please, help me." Ruan Zheng said humbly.

The hand that was handing the check to Pei Linxiao was shaking.
