CEO's Ugly Flash-Marriage Wife Hides So Many Identities Chapter 179: It’s Like You’ve Been Cuckolded

Fishing?

Pei Liyan paused briefly, then smiled. It turned out this girl understood everything.

Indeed, she was so clever, how could she not understand?

Qiao Rui saw him smile and knew they both understood each other’s thoughts. He wanted to go vegetarian, to rush into eating tofu, to take advantage.

And she, didn’t quite want to play that ga.

So, Qiao Rui spoke again, "Mr. Pei, I need to take a shower now and won’t eat the snacks."

Qiao Rui pointed at the pile of designer clothes in the room and said, "I’ll clean up, take a shower and go to bed. So, let’s say goodnight now. Can you please not disturb anymore?"

Rejected.

The bright light shone down, illuminating the man’s figure, surrounding him, his smile at the corner of his lips frozen, making his entire being seem instantaneously engulfed by shadows.

Those deep and bright eyes faintly flashed with a sharp gleam, at one mont, it seed like cold lights were bursting forth.

But that was just for a mont. His thin lips parted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay, goodnight."

"Goodnight," Qiao Rui could detect the coldness in his voice.

But she still straightened her back.

Pei Liyan turned and left, and Qiao Rui closed the door and locked it.

When the sound of the door lock clicked, the coldness in Pei Liyan’s eyes intensified.

He went back to his room, lit a cigarette, and went to the balcony to smoke.

After tidying up the clothes in the room and hanging them up, Qiao Rui put away the bags and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Half an hour later, after she had taken her shower, she received a call from Song Muyu.

"Ruirui, I’m calling you, hope I’m not disturbing you?"

Qiao Rui chuckled. "Of course not, I was going to call you if you didn’t. There’s sothing I want to talk to you about."

"Go ahead," said Song Muyu.

"Pei Liyan invited , Qiao Rui, to Liancheng to attend Song Xun’s engagent party."

"Ah?" Song Muyu was astonished. "What will you do? You can’t be in two places at once."

"So, Ruirui can’t go," Qiao Rui said. "I’ve already thought out the details of the plan. You’ll have to play it by ear when the ti cos. Qi Yun and the others will follow you. Be careful these days. If we don’t take down the entire Chen Family in this trip to Liancheng, we’ll face troubles later on."

"Got it, I wanted to discuss this with you as well," said Song Muyu. "My mom called , told about the Song Family and the Shen Family."

"Are you okay?" Qiao Rui couldn’t help but worry about Song Muyu.

Qiao Rui had co to understand sothing—Mrs. Song was probably not unaware of the friction between Song Muyu and Song Xun.

As soone who had been through similar experiences, it would be hard to believe she didn’t notice any signs.

Qiao Rui suddenly worried that Mrs. Song might have realized, and that’s why she deliberately told Muyu all this.

These were things she couldn’t ntion to Muyu, whose own feelings she was probably well aware of.

"I’m fine," Song Muyu gave a bitter smile. "I think my mom’s talk with might be a hint, she might have sensed the tension between and Song Xun."

Qiao Rui startled; she had just thought of this and Muyu had already spoken it.

For a mont, Qiao Rui didn’t know what to say, only asked, "Muyu, what are you planning to do?"

"It’s okay." Song Muyu once again smiled, instead comforting Qiao Rui, "Don’t worry about , I’m fine now, but Song Xun..."

"What about him?"

"He contacted ," Song Muyu sighed deeply. "He called three tis today."

Qiao Rui was taken aback. "Isn’t he really aloof?"

"Yes, an ice-cold man suddenly turned into a volcano, I’m not used to it," Song Muyu’s voice was relatively calm, "but I’ve co to my senses."

"Keeping calm is best," Qiao Rui said.

Song Muyu was still very calm, "Ruirui, don’t worry about , I will always grow up."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Rui also prepared to go to sleep.

Sleep is the best form of rest.

The next morning, when Qiao Rui went downstairs at half past seven,

Pei Liyan had already left.

The breakfast on the dining table was untouched.

Qiao Rui asked Mrs. Feng, "Did Mr. Pei not have breakfast at ho?"

"No, ma’am, the master left without saying anything," Mrs. Feng couldn’t help but give Qiao Rui an extra glance.

Qiao Rui was stunned for a mont, then nodded her head. "Okay, I got it."

Breakfast at Xu’s.

Pei Liyan and He Zheng t early in the morning and arranged to have breakfast together.

Seeing Pei Liyan with a tight face and seemingly dispirited, He Zheng was puzzled and asked, "Who owes you? Look at you. You seem as if soone cheated on you."

Pei Liyan frowned, "If you can’t speak properly, don’t talk."

"Uh, my apologies, I really shouldn’t have said that." He Zheng chuckled, "It shouldn’t be the Chen Family matter in Liancheng, you wouldn’t be angry over such a trivial thing with the Chen Family. What’s really going on?"

"Eat your food," Pei Liyan clearly didn’t want to talk about it.

He Zheng’s lips curled with a hint of humor, looking at Pei Liyan, "Do you know? It’s hard to see such an expression on your face, so when I do see it, I’m very curious and want to dig deep."

Pei Liyan’s gaze shifted towards him, a trace of sharpness flashing in the depths of his deep eyes: "He Zheng, you’ve been too idle lately, been single for too long, haven’t you? Why don’t I have Qiao Rui introduce one of her cousins to you, and we beco brothers-in-law?"

"No way!" He Zheng was instantly speechless, "Are you trying to make miserable? Just look, out of all the Qiao Family girls, you chose the ugliest Qiao Rui, uh, no, I take that back, Qiao Rui isn’t ugly, she’s stunning."

Pei Liyan’s face was expressionless, and he didn’t continue the conversation.

"But you didn’t choose any of them back then, and now you want to pick, do you think I’ve lived too long?" He Zheng certainly didn’t want a girl from the Qiao Family, "I’ve indeed been single too long, but that doesn’t an I can just settle for anyone!"

Pei Liyan humd softly, "Don’t judge by appearances, the Qiao Family girls are hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

"Give it a rest, I think they’re more like all show and no go," He Zheng teased rcilessly, "Qiao Rui aside, since she didn’t grow up in the Qiao Family, otherwise, she’d have that sa coppery stink."

Pei Liyan’s gaze deepened as he mocked, "If you said that to Qiao Xiang, what do you think would happen to you?"

He Zheng was startled, then looked very seriously at Pei Liyan, "Alright, I take it back. Qiao Xiang is also talented, a good girl."

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice ca from behind, "He Zheng, I didn’t expect I hold such a place in your heart."

Wasn’t that voice Qiao Xiang?

He Zheng was taken aback, turning his head toward Qiao Xiang, and indeed, she seed to have co for breakfast too.

He Zheng smiled, standing up.

"Xiangxiang, here for breakfast?"

"Yes, didn’t expect such a coincidence to run into you guys."

"Since we’ve t, let’s eat together," He Zheng said, smiling as he pulled out a chair for her.

He took the chance to look at Pei Liyan, not knowing how much Qiao Xiang had heard just now.

Pei Liyan gave him a reassuring look, Qiao Xiang had just arrived and had only caught the last sentence.

Years of brotherhood allowed He Zheng to understand everything through just one look from Pei Liyan, and he imdiately felt relieved.

Qiao Xiang sat down and then turned her head to silently look at Pei Liyan.

And he, inadvertently looking up, t her gaze in the air.
