Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: If It Doesn’t Work Out, Just Find Her Another Man
Zhixi cleared her throat lightly, "Ziyi, I want some of your honey lemon tea."
"Okay." Ziyi quickly nodded, "Uncle Xiaobao, you chat with Sister-in-law, I’ll go make the tea first."
With that, she obediently went to the kitchen.
Pei Yuanchen tugged at the corner of his mouth and spoke irritably, "Come in then."
The two of them sat on the sofa.
Zhixi spoke with a gossipy expression, "Am I interrupting you two?"
Pei Yuanchen glanced at her coldly, saying nothing.
She was already here, so what was the point of saying that, it was just fake politeness.
Was she getting back at him?
Tsk... he had only interrupted her a few times anyway.
Not getting an answer, Zhixi was undeterred and continued to press, "What happened between you two last night?"
Pei Yuanchen, acting as if no one else was there, lit a cigarette and blandly uttered, "Slept."
Zhixi drew in a sharp breath, "You really... So, what’s your plan?"
Pei Yuanchen took a drag from the cigarette, his tone indifferent, "No plan, just keep sleeping together until it’s boring."
"Hey." Zhixi was displeased, "What kind of attitude is that?"
"Isn’t this the result of your encouragement?" Pei Yuanchen sneered, "You all encouraged her, so you should have anticipated this consequence. Who told you I’d definitely take responsibility?"
He couldn’t be angry at Ziyi, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t vent his anger on others.
"Don’t pretend, who was so worried and asked me to take good care of Ziyi before?" Zhixi snorted.
Pei Yuanchen glanced at her, blew out a smoke ring, and said nothing.
The man’s expression was calm, his eyes serene, showing no emotion.
Zhixi really couldn’t figure out his thoughts. Seeing his indifferent demeanor, she couldn’t help but angrily ask, "What are you really thinking?"
"It’s none of your business." Pei Yuanchen had no intention of backing down, coldly glancing at her, "Why are you so concerned about me? Are you that idle?"
Zhixi gritted her teeth in anger, "I’m not concerned about you, I just feel bad for Ziyi."
She really was foolish, overthinking things, which led her to feel some pity for this man.
But he wasn’t grateful at all, and with one sentence, he had infuriated her to death.
Pei Yuanchen took another deep drag on his cigarette.
"You can’t help me, so tell your man to stop." He said, his voice a bit hoarse, "Don’t get yourself involved, it’s not worth it."
Zhixi glared at him angrily, "So you plan to carry the burden alone? Do you think you’re particularly noble?"
Pei Yuanchen glanced at her, coldly spitting out two words, "Childish."
Zhixi was infuriated again, glaring at him but unable to speak.
"I have a plan, you don’t need to worry." Pei Yuanchen extinguished his cigarette, his tone low, "I can guarantee her safety. As for me... at worst, you can just find her another man."
Zhixi’s initial anger softened somewhat upon hearing this.
"But didn’t you think Ziyi would be heartbroken?" Zhixi softened her voice.
Pei Yuanchen’s voice was very cold, "Just consider it a breakup, it’s not a big deal."
Once again, Zhixi was left speechless by him.
At this moment, Ziyi came over with two transparent glasses, placing one in front of Zhixi and the other in front of Pei Yuanchen.
"Uncle Xiaobao, this honey lemon tea is my special recipe, it’s really good!" She snuggled up to him, seeking praise.
Pei Yuanchen smiled slightly, ruffled her hair, and the originally cold look in his eyes suddenly softened the moment he saw Ziyi.
