156 Not Within Your Concern
Pei Zhi rested his chin on his hand. âHow much do you like it?â
There was an ambiguous glint in his eyes, but she could not see the meaning behind it through his glasses.
âVery much.â Lin Jiao, who had one foot in a trap, was still unaware. âI canât like it anymore.â
She raised her chin to touch his thin lips, and he saw her fair and fragile neck.
Pei Zhi really wanted to leave a kiss mark on her face.
However, the current situation did not allow it.
He caressed her ring with his finger. âThen Iâll wear it as often as possible just for you.â
âItâs not good to wear it outside.â
âAnd why is that?â
âItâs easy to attract women.â Lin Jiao looked into his eyes through the lenses, not hiding her possessiveness.
Pei Zhi chuckled. âThen, Iâll only wear it in front of you.â
If not for the fact that the place was not suitable, Pei Yilan suspected that they would do something unspeakable right here right now.
She raised her hand that was holding the iPad. âBrother Qu and I have done ordering. See if there are any dishes you like.â
Pei Zhi took it casually.
While he scrolled through the pictures of the dishes and chose two main dishes and desserts, Lin Jiao was chatting with them.
The food was served a moment later, and the atmosphere in the private room was lively.
Their topics changed very quickly, but no matter which one they talked about, they all had endless things to say.
âIâll answer this call first.â Qu Shao, who was about to scan the QR code to pay, received a call.
He pressed the answer button and heard an inexplicably familiar female voice. âAssistant Qu, do you have time to talk?â
âAnd you are?â
âYao Qianning.â
âIâm afraid I wonât have time to meet you.â
âJust talking on the phone will be fine too.â
Qu Shao looked up at Pei Zhi.
He followed them out, his tone not changing much. âWhat do you want to talk about?â
âAll the media outlets are reporting that he has a girlfriend. Arenât you going to deal with it?â
âThatâs the truth.â
Yao Qianning suddenly sneered. âWho is she?â
âIt doesnât matter who she is. What matters is that this matter is not within your concern.â
âYou mean I have no right to ask?â
âNo.â Qu Shao got into the driverâs seat and lowered the volume a few times. âIâm going to drive. Is there anything else?â
âPut him on the phone.â
âHeâs not here.â
Yao Qianning did not believe it at all.
She took a deep puff of her cigarette, trying to suppress the frustration that surged up her throat. âArrange a time. I want to see him next week.â
Qu Shao was about to decline when he heard her say, âOn behalf of the Yao Corporation, I want to discuss a business with Sheng Heng.â
âWhat kind of business?â
âWeâll talk in person then.â
âWhen exactly do you mean by âthenâ?â
Yao Qianning clicked on the mouse and looked at the flight information sent by her assistant. âTuesday.â
âTuesdayâs schedule is full.â
âThen Wednesday.â
She hung up without giving Qu Shao a chance to refuse.
Seeing that he wanted to curse, Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked, âWho called?â
âA representative of a company.â Qu Shao did not mention Yao Qianningâs name. âShe wants to discuss business with Sheng Heng.â
âDid you make an appointment with her?â
âNot yet.â
Pei Zhi did not ask further.
After all, there were too many companies that wanted to discuss business with Sheng Heng. They needed to filter through many layers to confirm their qualifications.
