Chapter 1036: Chapter 33:

Clip-clop, the sound of high heels on the floor is particularly crisp and pleasant in the quiet night.

Pei Pei turned around, glaring at Lu Yuxuan who had been following her.

"What are you doing? I’m going to sleep now. Stop following me!"

"Tch." Lu Yuxuan, hands in his trouser pockets, looked nonchalant, "I have nowhere to go... You have to take me in, or I’ll sleep on the streets."

Heh heh...

Pei Pei sneered. Would she believe this nonsense?

The esteemed Second Young Master of the Lu Family, a key figure in Guan Chao, wealthy and powerful — him having nowhere to go?

"Oh." Pei Pei nodded, "Then sleep on the streets!"

’Bang’!

Pei Pei shut the door, leaving Lu Yuxuan outside, his hand raised, "Pei Pei, Pei Pei, you have a cruel heart!"

After closing the door, Pei Pei leaned against it.

She sighed deeply... It’s not that she’s heartless, but if she’s not, what could become of them?

She knew very well that this relationship, if she were to respond... in the end, she’d be the one hurt!

It grew quiet outside the door.

Pei Pei looked through the peephole, seeing that outside was empty, Lu Yuxuan was gone...

Has he left?

Good, no matter how clingy a man is, if she keeps refusing, eventually everyone will get fed up, right?

Only, with the door now empty, her heart felt hollow as well.

Shaking her head, Pei Pei took a shower, stood on the balcony to catch the breeze. Exhausted from the entire day, yet because of Lu Yuxuan... now, she’s unable to sleep.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a voice.

Pei Pei froze, following the sound with her gaze.

"Hey! Little beauty, calling you!"

On the balcony next door, Lu Yuxuan sat at the edge, holding a glass of red wine, raising his arm towards Pei Pei, "Little beauty, care for a drink together?"

"..."

Pei Pei glared, how is he next door?

Ha! Who is he? What can’t he do? Even though the neighboring room was occupied by her team staff, if Lu Yuxuan wanted to stay there, wouldn’t it be just a matter of minutes?

The slight disappointment from before instantly turned into annoyance!

"You drink it yourself!"

Pei Pei turned around, heading inside.

"Hey!"

Lu Yuxuan called after her.

Pei Pei paused her steps, not turning back.

"Pei Pei, if you don’t return with me, I’m not leaving, I’ll just keep following you..."

Lu Yuxuan suddenly became serious, with genuine helplessness showing through.

Pei Pei said nothing, opened the door.

"Pei Pei, I’m serious!"

"..."

Pei Pei entered the room, turned around, smiling slightly as she spoke, "Really? Do as you like."

’Clatter’, the balcony door was shut.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

——

Lu Yuxuan got up early, knowing Pei Pei doesn’t care for hotel breakfast, specially going to the market for some local snacks. Only Pei Pei could make the Second Young Master lower himself like this.

Tch...

Lu Yuxuan carried the breakfast back, wearing a sly smile.

Little girl, want to escape my grasp? I’ll spoil you!

Coming out of the elevator, he saw a man in the hallway, looking around suspiciously.

Lu Yuxuan’s heart skipped, the figure seemed familiar!

Damn! He cursed internally, sensing trouble, isn’t that Kang Sir? What is he doing here?

Kang Sir turned, seeing Lu Yuxuan, smiling, "Looks like I didn’t pick the wrong spot... Pei Pei is here."

"Tch."

Lu Yuxuan coldly approached, "What are you here for?"

"Heh." Kang Sir chuckled, tugging at his tie, showing some anxiety.

"Why, seeing my fiancée, does it break some law? Is that why Minister Lu is looking at me?"

Fiancée?

Lu Yuxuan’s eyes widened, feeling vexed, "Kang Sir, watch your mouth! Who the hell is your fiancée!"

"Heh." Kang Sir faced him directly, neither giving way, "Don’t you know? My fiancée... her name is Pei Pei! A popular actress! Minister Lu must be quite ignorant!"

"Bullshit!"

In a rush, all of Lu Yuxuan’s bad temper flared up.

He pointed at Kang Sir, "Don’t think I’ll let you off because you’re my brother’s friend! Pei Pei has broken up with you, you have nothing to do with her anymore! Stop pestering her!"

"Whether I have a relation with her is between Pei Pei and me!" Kang Sir smirked, equally determined.

"You..."

The room door suddenly opened.

Pei Pei rubbed her eyes, wearing only her nightgown, "What’s happening? Why the noise? What’s..."

"Pei Pei!"

Seeing her, Lu Yuxuan’s eyes reddened, rushing in, scooping Pei Pei up, carrying her into the room.

"Hmm?" Pei Pei suddenly awakened, no idea what was happening, she pounded on Lu Yuxuan, "What are you doing? Lu Yuxuan, you’re so barbaric! Put me down! Hurry!"

"Inside!"

Lu Yuxuan let her punch and kick, not releasing until placing her on the bed.

He rubbed his shoulder, "Ow... you sure hit your man hard, so forcefully!"

"..." Pei Pei glared at him, "What made you snap?"

"Snap? Me?" Lu Yuxuan pointed at her, "Look at yourself, running to the door barely dressed! Did you let people see you? I’m furious!"

"Ha?" Pei Pei chuckled, "I was wearing clothes..."

"What clothes?" Lu Yuxuan’s face was dark, "Your shoulders are bare, Kang Sir’s eyes were fixed!"

He angrily went into the closet, picked out a conservative dress, tossed it onto the bed, "Wear this!"

Pei Pei looked displeased, "This high-neck style! It’s so hot today, you want me to overheat?"

"Wear it or not?"

"Not wearing it!"

"You little brat!"

Lu Yuxuan shouted, pressing down on Pei Pei. Holding her wrists in one hand, he started to unbuckle his belt with the other!

"You..." Pei Pei was scared, "Lu Yuxuan! You roughneck, what are you doing?"

"Can’t tell?" Lu Yuxuan raised his chin, eyes slightly narrowed, "We crude folk discipline unruly women this way!"

"Ah..." Pei Pei feared him, after two months in Qiupu, hadn’t she understood what kind of a man he is?

This man, truly a wolf!

And an untamed one at that!

"Fine!" Pei Pei nodded repeatedly, "I’ll wear, will wear what you chose, okay?"

"...Hmm." Lu Yuxuan was satisfied, but still leaned down, capturing her lips deeply, "Then a kiss—"

"Mm—"

After the kiss ended, Pei Pei’s cheeks were red, nearly out of breath!

"Good girl, get changed, I’m leaving." Lu Yuxuan then exited the room, seeing Kang Sir on the sofa.

He coldly sneered, "Some people sure are thick-skinned."

Kang Sir replied indifferently, "Indeed, I think the same."
