A Happy Date For Both of Them
She gripped the corner of his shirt tightly. The mont she walked out of the glass floor, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Are you still feeling bloated?” Pei Zhi pulled his hand back at the right ti. When he looked down at her, his eyes were filled with smiles.
“A little.” Lin Jiao touched the tip of her nose awkwardly.
She walked down the steps outside the restaurant and followed the way she ca. “Uncle, are you going back to the old mansion?”
“No.”
“Then where are you staying?”
“Red Maple Forest.” Pei Zhi looked at the two shadows on the stone path.
He enjoyed being alone with her.
“Red Maple Forest is in front of my house, right?”
“Yes, very close to where you live.”
There was a gentleness in his eyes, like a spring breeze brushing past her face.
She had never t anyone like Pei Zhi.
When he did not smile, his aura was powerful and made people submit for no reason. However, when he smiled, he was as approachable as the big brother next door.
He seed to have two personalities, but when the two personalities ca together, they gave him a charm that no one else could have.
“Is there sothing on my face?” Seeing that she was in a daze, looking at him, Pei Zhi smiled even more brightly.
“No…”
“Then what are you thinking?”
Lin Jiao quickly thought of sothing. “I was just thinking about the housing price in Red Maple Forest.”
Pei Zhi knew this wasn’t what was on her mind, but he didn’t expose her.
He pressed the car key and opened the passenger door for her. “It went up at the beginning of the year. It’s about sixty thousand per square now.”
“That expensive?”
“When has the housing price near the CBD ever been cheap? Ming Xin Mansion went up too.”
“By how much?”
“About five or six thousand.”
Lin Jiao put on her seatbelt and waited for him to get in.
She opened the drawer and took out two bottles of water. “If I had known, I would have rented out my apartnt.”
Pei Zhi said ambiguously, “You can rent it after you get married.” He unscrewed the cap of the water bottle and handed it to her.
“Then I’m afraid it’s not gonna happen anyti soon.”
“Not necessarily. Fate is hard to say.”
Lin Jiao did not comnt.
She had just experienced a failed relationship and did not know if her scarred heart could still accommodate another person.
Instead of looking forward to an illusory marriage, it was better to achieve sothing in her career first.
At least, it was more beneficial to her.
“Tired?” The light in the car was dim, and Pei Zhi could not see her expression clearly, so he thought she was tired.
Lin Jiao shook her head. “Not really.”
She looked out the window at the flashing neon lights. Although she said that she wasn’t tired, her eyelids drooped a mont later.
Pei Zhi did not make a sound to disturb her.
He slowed down the car, hoping that this journey would be longer. However, no matter how long it was, it would end.
The mont the brakes were pressed, Lin Jiao woke up.
“Uncle, thank you.” She rubbed her eyes and smiled at him. “I’m very happy tonight.”
“You’re welco.” He was happy too.
Pei Zhi watched her disappear into the building.
He lit a cigarette, the smile in his eyes was covered by the smoke rising from the cigarette.
However, the joy on his face was too obvious to be concealed.

Their “date” piqued Qu Shao’s curiosity. The following day, he ca to the company earlier than usual to wait.
He waited and waited until 9 am when he finally saw Pei Zhi. “President, good morning!”
Pei Zhi glanced at him.
He pushed open the door of his office, opened the breakfast he had been carrying, and sat at the table to enjoy it.
It was just an extrely ordinary roasted wheat and egg, but he ate it like it was a delicacy.
Qu Shao had been with him for four years, so he could tell sothing was different with his boss today. “President, did you co with Miss Lin?”
“Yeah.”
“Did she buy this breakfast for you too?”
“You want to eat it?” Pei Zhi raised the egg and took another bite in front of him. He deliberately slowed down his eating, as if he was showing off to Qu Shao.
Qu Shao did not know what was there to show off about an egg. It was not like he could not afford it.
He pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down. “I don’t want to. I had a pancake this morning. President, did you have fun with her last night?”
“Not bad.”
“Any intimate interactions?”
Pei Zhi cracked another egg at the corner of the table and peeled it open. “Does holding hands count?”
Qu Shao gave him a thumbs up. “Good job. At this rate, it won’t be long before you marry her.”
“I hope so.”
“Then do you want to eat with her at noon? I’ll think of a way to get her to co up.”
Pei Zhi pondered for a mont. “No need.” He swallowed the egg in his mouth and picked up the coffee cup. “I haven’t been to the cafeteria for a long ti.”
Qu Shao understood imdiately. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
This was why Pei Zhi was most satisfied with this assistant.
“Go ahead.” He finished his breakfast and was about to send a ssage to Lin Jiao when a ssage popped out.
Pei Yilan, “Hello, my dear uncle! Please allow to apologize for what happened at the bar last ti! Because of my drunkenness, I said sothing that I shouldn’t have. I deeply understand the seriousness of the matter… Please forgive ! Sincerely Yours, your na.”
Pei Yuan ignored the large paragraph in the middle.
He stared at the na at the end and sneered. “Did you change your na?”
“What do you an? Did I change my na?” After Pei Yilan sent this ssage, she noticed the words ‘your na’.
She held her heart that was about to stop beating and quickly pressed the retract button.
Pei Zhi, “Rember to check it before you copy and paste the sample next ti. Smiley face.” With that, he blocked her.
No matter how Pei Yilan apologized, she could not get any response. She was in deep frustration and regret.
