Emperor Shao's exclusive sweet wife

Pei Chengqi lived to this age, and some of the things he did were not visible, so he was very vigilant, and he could feel Pei Hao's arrangement.

Knowing that Pei Hao was checking him, he was not angry, so he made a phone call one afternoon and asked someone out to meet, saying that he had something very important to tell the other party, and he said it very secretly.

When he was on the phone, he deliberately didn't lower his voice, so Pei Hao's people heard him and immediately told Pei Hao about it.

So Pei Hao went to the place that Pei Chengqi had made an appointment with that person in advance, wanting to see who Pei Chengqi had made an appointment with, and whether what he wanted to talk about was about Pei Xianglin this time.

When Pei Hao arrived, he sat for a while before seeing Pei Chengqi coming over.

The environment of this restaurant is very good. Between the dining table and the dining table are half-person-high green plants, which can be blocked by people sitting, so Pei Hao just leaned slightly, and quickly used the plants to cover himself.

Pei Chengqi sat down on the seat behind him, and then began to order, while Pei Hao waited quietly.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Pei Hao saw another person entering the restaurant—Xie Ruihan.

When seeing Xie Ruihan, Pei Hao wondered if the news he received was wrong.

He has known Xie Ruihan for so long, he knows what kind of person Xie Ruihan is, and Xie Ruihan has no reason to help Pei Xianglin.

Is it because...

The image of Xie Ruiyu going to Qiao Ran to plead for mercy that day suddenly appeared in Pei Hao's mind.

Could it be because of Xie Ruiyu that Xie Ruihan and Pei Chengqi are on the same side?

He was still thinking and worrying, but Xie Ruihan had already arrived at Pei Chengqi's table and sat down opposite Pei Chengqi.

She has always been impatient with Pei Chengqi, and today is no exception. As soon as she sat down, she asked, "What on earth did you ask me for?"

Pei Chengqi slowly poured tea for Xie Ruihan, smiled lightly, and asked without answering: "I asked you out for dinner, why are you still so unhappy?"

"I don't need your meal." Xie Ruihan folded his legs, and frowned, "You said you had something important to ask me, so I came here. Tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Pei Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from Xie Ruihan's tone of voice, she should not know about this matter.

"Why are you always so impatient?" Pei Chengqi seemed a little dissatisfied, "Ruihan, can't you have a good meal with me? Eat first, and I'll tell you when I'm done."

Seeing Pei Chengqi's appearance, Xie Ruihan felt more and more uncomfortable the more he looked at it, so he simply took his bag and stood up, "I don't have time to chat with you."

Said to go out.

Pei Chengqi panicked, quickly pulled him back, and began to confess with a smile on his face: "Stop, Ruihan, why don't I tell you?"

Pushing Xie Ruihan back on the chair, Pei Chengqi finally got down to business: "That's right, things in our family have been quite a mess recently, as you know, I want to ask you, Ruiyu these two days... All right?"

Xie Ruihan frowned, "What do you mean?"

Pei Chengqi was very surprised, "Didn't Xie Ruiyu do what happened to the Pei family recently?"

"Nonsense!" If it wasn't because this is a public place, Xie Ruihan would have almost slapped the table angrily, "This matter has nothing to do with Ruiyu, Pei Chengqi, don't spread rumors!"

Pei Chengqi's eyes widened. Although he didn't speak, the expression on his face was very clear: he didn't believe it.

This kind of expression fell into Xie Ruihan's eyes, which made Xie Ruihan feel even more annoyed.

The waiter came over to serve the dishes. Although Pei Chengqi ordered the dishes, most of them were Xie Ruihan's favorites, but Xie Ruihan had no intention of eating them.

She just took one more look, then her gaze immediately moved up and fell on Pei Chengqi's face, "Pei Chengqi, what evidence do you have that Ruiyu did it?"

"Evidence?" Pei Chengqi smiled, as if he had heard such an interesting word, "Didn't Xie Ruiyu go to Qiao Ran to intercede with Xianglin on the day Qiao Ran got engaged?"

Before Xie Ruihan could speak, he said again: "And later he also went to see Xianglin. I went that day too. When I went, Ruiyu had just left, and Xianglin told me that Ruiyu had promised that he would definitely Get her out of it."

Xie Ruihan's hands were clenched into fists. Her skin was very white. After clenched into fists, there was a small white lump, like a cat's paw. Seeing it, Pei Chengqi felt itchy in his heart, as if he would pull it over and pinch it carefully.

It was just because there was still something to do, so he didn't tease Xie Ruihan like before, but corrected his tone: "Ruihan, I know Ruiyu did this for Xianglin, I am Xianglin's brother, and I am very grateful, but it is right for him to do this. Our family is not good, so you should try to persuade him when you go back."

"Pei Chengqi!"

"Okay, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. These dishes are all for you, so take your time."

After Pei Chengqi finished speaking, he really got up and left, leaving Xie Ruihan alone in the dining room, gasping for breath.

Originally, Xie Ruihan still had a little confidence in Xie Ruiyu, but after being told by Pei Chengqi, her little confidence disappeared.

She grew up watching Xie Ruiyu. Over the years, her younger brother can be regarded as a good-natured young brother, but his feelings for Pei Xianglin are indeed beyond words.

If he really did such a stupid thing because he couldn't stand it, and brought the whole Pei family into trouble, then...

Xie Ruihan was still thinking about what to do, and another person sat on the opposite seat.

She thought it was Pei Chengqi who came back and was about to have a fit, but when she looked up, she found that the person sitting opposite was not Pei Chengqi at all.

It was Pei Hao.

So the words that came to his lips were swallowed back, and his face naturally became better, but he was still a little surprised: "Pei Hao? Why are you here?"

"I've been here all the time." Pei Hao said calmly, "I heard what Pei Chengqi said just now."

Thinking that Pei Hao believed Pei Chengqi's words, Xie Ruihan panicked and opened his mouth to explain.

But before she could explain, Pei Hao waved his hand and even smiled at her, "I know, this matter has nothing to do with Ruiyu."

He knew Xie Ruiyu very well. Although Xie Ruiyu liked Pei Xianglin, he would not do such a crazy thing.

Xie Ruihan breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "Thank you."

Regardless of whether Xie Ruiyu did it or not, it is true that Xie Ruiyu caused trouble to the Pei family, and Pei Hao is still willing to believe in Xie Ruiyu at this time. This alone is worthy of Xie Ruihan's thank you.

"Don't be so polite with me." Pei Hao leaned back in the chair and sighed again, "Pei Chengqi probably knew that I was suspicious of him, so he deliberately played me. He also knew that I was there."

Thinking about it now, the whole incident today was clearly designed by Pei Chengqi.

Xie Ruihan opened her eyes wide, "What?"

"Let's not talk about this." Pei Hao looked at the dishes on the table, and thought that Xie Ruihan had never been used to Pei Chengqi, and guessed that she might not want to eat, so he suggested, "Are you hungry? Or let's eat somewhere else." thing?"

Xie Ruihan really didn't want to eat what Pei Chengqi ordered, so after hearing what Pei Hao said, she agreed without even thinking about it.

So in the end, they changed to another place to eat, and after eating, Pei Hao sent Xie Ruihan home again.

By the time Pei Hao got home, it was past ten o'clock, Pei Lao had fallen asleep, and Qiao Ran was still sitting in the living room reading the script.

Seeing that Pei Hao came back, Qiao Ran immediately stood up from the sofa: "Brother, how are you doing? Have you found it?"

"Tricked by Pei Chengqi." Pei Hao looked a little gloomy, "But I'm more sure, it should be him, otherwise he wouldn't do it on purpose."

The two sat back on the sofa, Qiao Ran thought for a while, and asked worriedly: "Then what should we do now? Have you let Pei Xianglin go? Grandpa won't agree..."

"It can't be released now. If it is released, it will prove that the previous rumors are true. Everyone will know that our family is infighting, and it has developed to this point. It is not good for the company."

Qiao Ran then stopped talking.

In this regard, her experience is indeed not as rich as that of Pei Hao, and she is not as thoughtful as Pei Hao in considering things.

Looking at Qiao Ran and seeing her frowning, Pei Hao patted her arm, "Okay, Ran Ran, leave this matter to me, don't worry about it, go to rest early."

But even after returning to the room, Qiao Ran couldn't fall asleep.

Holding the phone in her hand, she suddenly wanted to call Chu Junbei.

Even if you don't tell Chu Junbei about it, just talk to him and listen to his voice.

But she was afraid of delaying Chu Junbei's work.

Although she knew everything in her heart, by the time Qiao Ran realized it, she had already dialed Chu Junbei's phone number.

The call was connected quickly, and Chu Junbei's mature, stable and loving voice came from there: "Baby, what's the matter? Did you miss me?"

Without waiting for Qiao Ran to answer, he began to explain himself: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these days, so I didn't call you, please don't be angry, okay?"

Originally, Qiao Ran still had a lot of grievances in her heart, but after hearing Chu Junbei's voice, she soon recovered, and the grievances were all gone.

"I'm not angry." Qiao Ran's voice was gentle and soft, and she felt very warm when she heard it, "I just miss you."

On the other end of the phone, Chu Junbei seemed to be coaxed by such a simple sentence, and smiled obviously: "I am in the hospital now, don't you want to see Lan Ni? Wait a minute, I will play a video for you."

Then the phone was hung up, and Qiao Ran wanted to ask him why he didn't have a chance in the hospital.

After a few seconds, Chu Junbei's video call came, and Qiao Ran picked it up immediately. Judging from the background, he was indeed in the hospital ward.

Chu Junbei was still the same as before he left, handsome and handsome. When he looked at Qiao Ran in the camera, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle. The sunlight came from behind through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and he stood against the light.

Just standing like this and looking at Qiao Ran like this can make Qiao Ran feel that she has something to rely on.

"Wife." Chu Junbei spoke to Qiao Ran through the mobile phone, his voice was soft, "I miss you too."

He was responding to Qiao Ran's words of missing him just now.
