Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: You Look Absolutely Hideous Right Now
Pei Yuanchen didn’t say anything.
He picked up a wet wipe to clean his fingers and then coolly asked, "Is this question important?"
"Important!" He Ziyi nodded vigorously, looking at him eagerly, "I want to know everything about you, just tell me."
Pei Yuanchen’s heart was stirred.
Had this young lady finally realized he wasn’t a toy, but a living, breathing person?
He silently snorted, yet somewhere in his heart, he couldn’t suppress a slight excitement.
He quickly suppressed it, with a self-deprecating remark in his mind, and coldly replied, "If you’re interested, find the answer yourself."
Ziyi thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "That makes sense."
Pei Yuanchen didn’t take it seriously, assuming it was just one of her whims as a young lady.
"Hurry up and eat. I’ll take you home after." Pei Yuanchen frowned.
Ziyi poked at the crab meat in her bowl with her chopsticks and hummed, "I’m going to eat slowly, don’t think you can get rid of me."
Pei Yuanchen glanced at her indifferently, picked up a glass of water, and took a sip.
When he put the glass down and inadvertently looked up, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"He Ziyi, are you feeling hot?" he asked coldly.
Ziyi was baffled, "No..."
"Then why is your face so red?" Pei Yuanchen’s tone grew more hostile.
He Ziyi touched her cheeks, looking puzzled.
The man got up from his seat, walked over to her, sat down beside her, and lifted her face towards him, scrutinizing her for a moment.
His voice was somewhat sinister, "He Ziyi, don’t you feel unwell?"
"I... I feel fine..." Ziyi was inexplicably scolded and felt a bit aggrieved.
"You silly woman, fine your foot!" Pei Yuanchen angrily knocked her forehead, "You’re allergic to seafood, did you know that!"
Ziyi’s eyes suddenly widened.
Pei Yuanchen glared at her harshly, "You dolt! You don’t even know when you’re uncomfortable, what if..."
Severe allergies can be life-threatening.
And this woman herself insisted on having seafood, who knew she’d be allergic to it.
Did the He Family elders not realize this and tell her she couldn’t eat seafood?
He was practically infuriated by her.
Pei Yuanchen quickly called a waiter to settle the bill, then scooped her up and swiftly headed to the parking lot.
Ziyi hugged his neck and suddenly giggled, "Uncle Xiaobao, I was going to treat you to dinner. I even had my credit card ready. But since you paid, I won’t fight you for it."
Pei Yuanchen gave her a sidelong glance.
Her allergic reaction was worsening, and her once delicate and pretty face was now red and swollen.
Yet she seemed completely unaware.
She could even find amusement in such minor things as him paying the bill.
He wondered how she ever grew up like this.
Pei Yuanchen pressed her face into his embrace, his voice mocking, "Stop laughing, you look awful now."
"Who says!" Ziyi was taken aback.
"You’ll see in a bit." Pei Yuanchen’s tone was cold.
After getting her in the car, he adjusted the rearview mirror deliberately so she could see herself, his tone chilly, "Look for yourself."
He Ziyi glanced in the mirror and let out a startled "Oh my!": "That’s not me!"
"Oh, but it is!" Pei Yuanchen, seeing her shocked expression, felt amused, "You better remember how you look right now, and see if you dare eat seafood again!"
