âOkay, I agree to that,â Pei Yucheng quipped quietly.
Lin Yan was speechless...
It was... done?
Had she misheard? Or was she dreaming?
Lin Yan had thought that this request would be really difficult and challenging. Who could have imagined that she would just have to move her lips and conjure some random reason... to succeed?
Lin Yan stood as still as a statue while Xing Chen, who had initially been panicked and jittery and had thought that he had gotten Lin Yan in trouble, was dumbstruck the next moment.
Xiaoyue... would be fine?
So this matter was over?
âBrother Yu!â
The man who seemed to be the leader frowned in disapproval. âBrother Yu, Miss Rong hates Ling Yue. How could you change your mind because of this woman?â
However, he didnât get to finish his sentence.
Everyone only heard a slam.
Lin Yan and Xing Chen jerked in shock.
Both of them were stunned.
The man who had spoken had his head banged against the desk.
Pei Yucheng, who had still looked amiable and gentle a moment ago, pressed his palm against the manâs head. No matter how hard the man struggled, Pei Yuchengâs hand didnât budge. It was like an immovable mountain.
âBrother Yu...â
Xu Yao and the others were rigid with shock.
Pei Yuchengâs bone-chilling gaze sliced across everyone before anyone could utter a word.
No one dared to speak after that.
âBrother Yu... You...â The manâs head was being pressed against the desk, and his forehead was covered in perspiration. He had no idea why Pei Yucheng would blow up abruptly or why he would attack him.
âDo you want to know why?â Pei Yuchengâs voice was as cold as ice and it sent chills down his spine.
âBrother Yu... I... I donât understand...â The man gritted his teeth.
Pei Yucheng glanced at the man. âLing Yue and Xing Chen are my people.â
He then added calmly, âNo matter how badly they behave, no one else has the right to humiliate them.â
The man shuddered in fear and hastily added, âBrother Yu, I know... We didnât think this through...â
âPlus...â Pei Yucheng glanced at Lin Yan, âYou heard what Miss Lin said...â
Pei Yuchengâs eyes trailed to Xu Yao. âDo you understand?â
âI understand... it all... Brother Yu...â Xu Yao stammered hastily.
Pei Yucheng relinquished his grip and the man finally wriggled free.
âDo what you need to do.â Pei Yucheng waved his hands to dismiss them.
The group of men and women glanced uneasily at each other before they traipsed out of the room swiftly.
After they left, Xing Chen stared at Pei Yucheng in disbelief. âBrother Yu... Miss Rong...â
âDo what you should do,â Pei Yucheng told Xing Chen.
âBrother Yu, Iâm sorry! I swear that I will control myself in the future. There wonât be a second time!â Xing Chen added quickly.
âLing Yue can come back,â said Pei Yucheng.
Xing Chen was overwhelmed. âBrother Yu, thank you!â
âThis had nothing to do with me,â Pei Yucheng replied.
Xing Chen understood what Pei Yucheng meant and whirled around. âMiss Lin, thank you!â
Lin Yan was still in a daze, as everything seemed like a dream.
When she recalled what had happened, she wondered what had come over her just now. She hadnât felt afraid at all... Had she been this fearless all along?
Lin Yan had never expected that she would succeed so easily.
Today seemed like a horrible time to bring up that topic...
Pei Yucheng had really been very accommodating!
