Chapter XVIII: The Outsider

If Pei Tingyuan is indifferent at this time...... Qiao Xihe felt that the embarrassment index in the restaurant was skyrocketing, and she was about to lose standing as an "outsider".

She quickly buried her head and silently continued to eat porridge and dumplings, assuming an attitude that it was none of her business.

Pei Tingyuan glanced at Qiao Xihe, and just when Lu Xiwen almost couldn't hold her face, she leaned forward and drank the fish soup in one gulp.

Qiao Xihe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Pei Tingyuan drank the fish soup, and there would be a very good start.

"How's it going, is it delicious?" Lu Xiwen asked expectantly.

Pei Tingyuan said: "It's still the old taste." ”

Lu Xiwen sighed: "I thought that after a period of time, I had improved." ”

Pei Tingyuan said: "It's already very good. As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and drank it all down with the soup and vegetables.

"Do you want more?" Lu Xiwen's smile penetrated deep into her eyes, and she occasionally looked at Qiao Xihe with a little disdain and showing off, "A big bottle is definitely enough for you to drink." ”

Pei Tingyuan nodded, "Okay." ”

Lu Xiwen filled another bowl and handed it over with a smile, as if she and Pei Tingyuan were a serious couple.

Pei Tingyuan said helplessly: "Only one hand can make it, it's really troublesome to drink soup." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Qiao Xihe, "Xiwen, please feed me." ”

Qiao Xihe's shoulders were loosened, he was really afraid that this beast would have a nervous disorder again, so he asked her to feed the soup.

A hint of joy flashed on Lu Xiwen's face, and she immediately held the soup, sat down beside Pei Tingyuan, and fed him spoonful by spoonful.

"It's delicious," Pei Tingyuan drank the soup and smacked his lips deliberately, "I haven't drunk the soup you stewed for a few days, I really miss it very much." ”

Qiao Xihe hated smacking her lips when someone was eating, but she didn't expect this beast to be so rude, she quickly ate the last crystal dumpling, then wiped her mouth with tissue paper, and said, "I'm going out to run errands, you use it slowly." ”

Pei Tingyuan's gaze wandered around her face and said, "Where are you going?"

Qiao Xihe prevaricated casually: "There are still things to deal with on the Lu family's side, so I made an appointment to go over this morning." ”

Pei Tingyuan responded: "Okay, you can go." ”

Qiao Xihe immediately nodded to the two of them, and then went back to the room to put on makeup.

She just wanted to escape from the Pei family for a while, so she put on light makeup, changed into a floral pale yellow dress, and draped her long curly hair, and the person in the mirror looked lively and cheerful, which was exactly the state of mind she hoped to have now.

She went downstairs with her small bag, and was only halfway through when she heard happy laughter from the restaurant.

"Ting Yuan, you see this is the highest scholarship I got from the college when I was in the UK......"

"Xiwen is still as powerful as when she was a child. ”

"Are you going to compliment me, or reward me with something?"

"What do you want?"

"You should think of this for yourself, what I mean. ”

"Good good ......"

Qiao Xihe stepped down the last step, and the people opened the door and said respectfully, "Mrs. walk slowly." ”

Their voices were neither high nor low, but they were enough to attract the attention of the two people in the restaurant, but Pei Tingyuan didn't even look at them.

Qiao Xihe didn't care about Pei Tingyuan's attitude, and walked straight out of the door.

When the door closed, Lu Xiwen smiled slightly, and her mood was much happier.

Yesterday, Pei Tingyuan was lying well on the hospital bed, but after learning that Qiao Xihe went home, he waited until the inspection report came out, and insisted on asking to be discharged home, under the pretext of "The bed in the hospital is uncomfortable, I recognize the bed".

She knows Pei Tingyuan very well, she has been raised as an heir since she was a child, and after various elite education and tests, she is not the same kind of person at all as those pampered rich second and third generations. What is the bed, it is simply an excuse made up.

Her instincts told her that he wanted to go back to see the embezzler's daughter.

She didn't know what happened last night, but as soon as she entered the door today, she saw the two of them sitting on the stairs with their arms in their arms, and he said that she was his wife.

At that moment, the anger in her heart "soared", so much so that she lost her temper for a moment and closed the door heavily.

Not long after knowing Pei Tingyuan, a cognition was deeply ingrained in her heart - Pei Tingyuan would be her future husband, and he would be the person who would stay with her for a lifetime, and no one could intervene.

If it weren't for the accident of the Pei family, and then she immigrated to France with her family, now that she and Pei Tingyuan are husband and wife, where is there a chance to embezzle the daughter of the criminal.

However, their seemingly intimate and then detached attitude made her a little more suspicious.

Fortunately, the woman was interested and left by herself, so that she could have the opportunity to be alone with Pei Tingyuan.

This time, she will never let go.

Pei Tingyuan heard the sound of the door closing, leaned back in the chair, and instructed the housekeeper: "Prepare the car, I want to go to the company." ”

Lu Xiwen hurriedly whispered: "You look like this, why do you have to work hard, your body doesn't want to get better?"

Pei Tingyuan said: "It's just an arm injury, and it's not paralyzed in bed, or mentally retarded." ”

Lu Xiwen's willow eyebrows frowned, and she put on a look of grievance, "Tingyuan, I just came back from the UK, can't you accompany me more? Count it yourself, how many years have we not seen each other?" As she spoke, she also stretched out her hand and held Pei Tingyuan's arm affectionately, "If there is any urgent work, just let the secretary bring it home to do it, and I, who is about to graduate with a master's degree in financial management, will assist me to ensure that I get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"I remember you wanted to study art when you were a child. Pei Ting said from afar.

Lu Xiwen smiled bitterly: "But we live in the real world. ”

Pei Tingyuan smiled, and seemed to agree and feel for her words.

Therefore, he envied Qiao Xihe, who was also born in a wealthy family, but she still grew up in the love of her parents, and she was free to choose her own life, although now she is ......

His eyes darkened slightly, and while Lu Xiwen was very virtuous to go to the kitchen to deal with the remaining fish soup, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Ji Yang's number, "Follow Qiao Xihe, I want to know everything about her whereabouts outside." ”

The other end of the phone answered respectfully.

Pei Tingyuan hung up the phone when Lu Xiwen returned to the restaurant.

Lu Xiwen smiled naturally and asked as if she was casually speaking, "Who are you calling?"

Pei Tingyuan said indifferently: "I asked the secretary to send the documents over." ”

"Oh. Lu Xiwen walked up to him, didn't sit down, and pressed her hand on his shoulder, "Tingyuan, I'll take a walk with you, and then send you upstairs to rest for a while, right?"

Pei Tingyuan looked at her clear eyes, and only after a while did he speak: "No, let's go to the study." ”
