Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: The Dream Girl of All the Boys at School
"Uncle Xiaobao, I’m starting school in a couple of days. Can you come back and go to school with me?" He Ziyi blinked her eyes, her expression pleading.
Pei Yuanchen lifted his eyes and, without hesitation, said, "No."
Ziyi was upset. She picked up her knife and fork, eating her breakfast as if venting her anger.
Seeing her puffed-up face, Pei Yuanchen couldn’t help but speak up, "Don’t you already have a female bodyguard? Why do you need me?"
Ziyi immediately brightened up and looked up, "I can send Ayuan back to Mom!"
Pei Yuanchen’s gaze deepened. He reached out and wiped a kernel of corn from the corner of her mouth.
The way this young lady ate was quite casual, completely different from what he imagined a proper lady to be.
Perhaps because this girl was introverted from a young age, Madam He adopted a totally hands-off approach to her upbringing, never imposing rules on her.
That’s why this young lady behaved so freely.
He snorted again and took a tissue to wipe his hands.
Ziyi suddenly narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Uncle Xiaobao, you actually like me, don’t you?"
Pei Yuanchen’s heart skipped a beat, and he denied it without hesitation, "No."
Ziyi bit her fork, unwilling to relent, "Then who do you like?"
Pei Yuanchen looked at her without speaking.
"Our class president said I’m both pretty and rich. If a man doesn’t like me, it must be because his heart belongs to someone else." He Ziyi frowned, "Uncle Xiaobao, since you don’t like me, you must like someone else, right?"
Pei Yuanchen went along with it, "That’s right, I like someone else."
He Ziyi slammed her knife and fork on the table in anger, "Who!"
Pei Yuanchen didn’t expect her reaction to be so intense.
He frowned, trying to conjure up a name in his mind, but after searching for a while, he came up empty.
To be honest, over the years he had attempted to flirt with many women, but most ended without conclusion. Most of the time, it was because he suddenly lost interest.
Ah, the woman he recently contacted was a particularly famous singer, who was also Xiaobao’s idol. Xiaobao talked about her all the time, what was her name again...
He thought for a long time but couldn’t recall.
Ziyi showed a victorious smile, "Hmph, I knew you were lying! The person you like is me!"
"Just because I don’t like someone else doesn’t mean I have to like you?" Pei Yuanchen sneered.
"Yes, I am the school beauty of our school." Ziyi said proudly, "Our class president says I’m the dream girl of all the boys at school."
...You can be so foolishly happy over something so trivial.
"Those young brats have never seen the world; that’s why they regard a silly girl like you as a goddess," Pei Yuanchen couldn’t help but deflate her.
"No, even my brother’s friends like me." Ziyi said with a sly smile, "Even Brother Huo proposed to make me his wife."
Pei Yuanchen’s heart tightened.
"Brother Huo?" His tone turned a bit dangerous.
"Yes, you saw him yesterday!" Ziyi immediately sold out Huo Yanhui with a sense of accomplishment, "But I told him I already have someone in my heart, and that person is you."
Someone in her heart.
Pei Yuanchen’s hands involuntarily clenched.
"When does your school start?" He asked.
"The day after tomorrow..." Ziyi replied, still feeling a bit down.
"I’ll come to take you to school the day after tomorrow," Pei Yuanchen suddenly said.
