102 Li Xiwu Knew Pei Jingzhou Was Injured
Yu Jing and Gao Yueban looked at each other. They smiled tacitly again and finally sat down with a calm expression.
The director nibbled on a roasted sweet potato and sat down beside Gao Yueban. “Director Gao, aren’t you worried about your car?”
Gao Yueban snorted. “Once President Pei makes a move, we’ll know if it’s true or not. Why should I be worried?” contemporary romance
“President Pei?” The director suddenly stuck his head over at the mention of President Pei.
Gao Yueban pressed the director’s head back. “Why are you making a fuss?”
The director: “Miss Li’s husband’s surname is Pei?”
Gao Yueban said, “Mhm.”
The director was shocked. “Miss Li’s husband’s surname is Pei?”
Gao Yueban glanced at the director. “What’s wrong?”
Yu Jing couldn’t stop laughing.
The director swallowed. “The executive of R.E… but R.E belongs to the Pei Corporation. Is it the Pei I’m thinking about?”
It was Yu Jing who spoke. “Otherwise, would it be Bei?”
The director: “…”
He seemed to have discovered some incredible secret? Holy shit! “If Miss Li’s husband’s surname is Pei…” One second, the director was determined that this matter could not be settled. The next second, he changed his expression. “Then it’s fine.”
Gao Yueban reminded him, “Don’t bark so loudly every time.”
The director looked terrified. “Not to mention barking, I won’t even dare to scream next time.”

Li Xiwu left in a hurry and did not have time to tell Han Qianye. She, who had always driven steadily, was accelerating on many stretches of road today. When the car arrived at the Pei Corporation Building, Li Xiwu got out and handed the car keys to the valet.
The valet must have not seen Li Xiwu for too long. He was stunned when he caught the car key. After being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly turned around and confirmed for a while before realizing that the lady boss had arrived!
The receptionist raised her standard smile and was about to ask about the appointment when the smile froze on her lips. She focused and looked. Damn… the lady boss?? The receptionist immediately smiled and shouted, “Mrs. Pei!”
Li Xiwu raised her hand.
The receptionist immediately stopped talking and quickly walked out to lead the way. “Mrs. Pei, this way.”
Li Xiwu said, “I’ll go to President Pei’s office.”
The receptionist replied, “Okay, I’ll be right—”
“Wait a minute.” Li Xiwu stopped the receptionist. “You don’t have to accompany me. Also, pretend you didn’t see me.”
The receptionist sensibly made a show of zipping up her mouth. She pursed her lips and nodded. Li Xiwu walked towards the elevator. The receptionist smiled and watched Li Xiwu enter the elevator before turning back to work.
However, as soon as she turned around, she was suddenly stopped by her colleague and asked, “You’re nodding and bending your waist. Who was that just now?”
The receptionist exhaled. “Lady boss.”
The colleague raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Damn! The lady boss who hasn’t come to the company once in eight hundred years. Why is she here today?”
The receptionist did not know whether to laugh or cry. “How would I know? However, every time the lady boss comes to the company, President Pei will be in a particularly good mood that day.”
The colleague nodded seriously. “That’s true. I’ve long heard that Mrs. Pei is President Pei’s candy. He’ll be in a good mood when he eats it.”

Li Xiwu took the president’s elevator to the 49th floor.
When she stepped out of the elevator, the president’s office was in front of her. As soon as she walked over, Wang Kaiheng, who was sitting behind the secretary’s desk, suddenly stood up and shouted, “Mrs. Pei!”
The sound was neither loud nor soft. Presumably the people in the office could hear it too. At this point, Li Xiwu asked calmly, “Where’s President Pei?”
Secretary Wang swallowed silently and walked out from behind his desk. “President Pei is in the office, Mrs. Pei—”
“No need.” Li Xiwu raised her lips. “I’ll go by myself.”
Secretary Wang smiled and nodded. Li Xiwu stood at the office door, her hand on the handle. Just as she was about to press down, she turned to look at Secretary Wang behind her. Wang Kaiheng was secretly sending a message. When Li Xiwu turned around, he was so frightened that he immediately put away his phone.
Li Xiwu looked away and pressed the door handle. She opened the door and went in. Pei Jingzhou was nowhere to be seen in the clean office. This time, Li Xiwu did not sit and wait for him like before. This time, when she came in, she called out, “Pei Jingzhou!”
There was some slight movement in the lounge. Li Xiwu walked into the lounge. Before she could approach, the door to the lounge opened and Pei Jingzhou came out. He wasn’t surprised to see her. “No live broadcast today?”
“Yes, but there’s no hurry.” Li Xiwu’s gaze was like a ruler as she measured Pei Jingzhou inch by inch.
Pei Jingzhou naturally noticed her gaze and smiled. “Are you here to check on me?”
Li Xiwu walked up to him and said bluntly, “I already know about your injury.”
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. He knew Li Xiwu’s personality too well. With what she knew, fooling her was extremely childish. Fortunately, he had no intention of pretending to be confused. He undid his cufflinks, pulled his sleeve up, and revealed the gauze on his arm to her openly.
Li Xiwu: “…”
When she saw the gauze on Pei Jingzhou’s arm, her breathing stopped for a moment. If he was only lightly bandaged, she wouldn’t have looked like this. However, the gauze on Pei Jingzhou’s arm started from his palm all the way to his arm. She was in a daze. Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, “Is it enough to look at? Why don’t I take off my clothes and let you take a slow and careful look?”
Li Xiwu pursed her lips in anger.
Pei Jingzhou said, “I’m an injured person now. Scold me gently.”
Li Xiwu: “…”
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words in the end. She wanted to reach out and touch his arm. But she didn’t know where to start. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. “Is the wound deep?”
Pei Jingzhou used his uninjured hand to pull Li Xiwu to the sofa and sit down. He didn’t answer her question and asked instead, “What do you want to drink?”
Li Xiwu asked, “Did you go to the hospital to take care of it?”
Pei Jingzhou poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Li Xiwu. “Speak less and drink more water.”
The couple said their own things. None of it matched. Li Xiwu did not reach for the water. She frowned and stared at him angrily. The latter’s eyes softened as he smiled at her. “Are you angry, my wife?”
...
Li Xiwu said, “I don’t object to what you do, but you shouldn’t hurt yourself. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment by inflicting damage on the enemy while suffering?”
Pei Jingzhou said seriously, “When I’m invincible for my wife, I feel a sense of accomplishment.”
Li Xiwu: “…”
She took a deep breath and cut to the chase. “What’s Fourth Brother’s next arrangement?” After a pause, she added, “I don’t want you to keep me out of this. After all, I’m still your wife now.”
Pei Jingzhou smiled dotingly. “You will be, too, in the future.”
Li Xiwu’s eyes trembled. “Let’s talk about serious matters first.”
Pei Jingzhou said, “I’ve done everything you want to do. Is it serious?”
Li Xiwu was stunned. “Does Fourth Brother know what I want to do?”
Pei Jingzhou’s gaze was glued to her. “Of course, I know. That’s why I’ll be the villain. You just have to stand at a high place and watch your plan come true step by step.”
Li Xiwu pursed her lips. “Is the evidence complete?”
“Evidence is the most troublesome thing. I prefer to deal with it directly.” Pei Jingzhou smiled. “But this is your plan, so I’ve gathered all the evidence. What’s next for him is a trial.”
