Chapter 21: The back and forth of adults
"When did I have a woman, my lord has been clean and self-conscious in this life, and there is no such thing as a woman."
Pei Xingyuan frowned, but he couldn't hide the faint smile at the bottom of his deep eyes.
Mi Xia Yao glanced at Pei Xingyuan, who was standing in front of him with her hands on her chest.
"Before, I had a bad attitude and was angry at the head."
But that doesn't prove that she can forgive him for joining the prince's camp.
Pei Xingyuan sat on the railing with Erlang's legs crossed, he raised his chin and listened to the other party's soft and weak apology.
The smile on the man's face deepened.
"I'll figure it out after I go back, and I want to do another collaboration with Master Pei."
Master Pei said three words, and Pei Xingyuan's smile that had just risen faded this time.
"What are you going to do with me?" The man's voice was flat.
Mi Xia Yao didn't think about it, she directly spread it out and explained.
"My father is also one of the richest businessmen in Qingzhou, although my Mi family is now in the capital without a leader, but the camel that crushes to death is always bigger than a horse, the son of the eldest son of the Mi family, ready to enter the cabinet, the future is to assist His Majesty's right-hand man, and cooperate with you, this is not enough?"
"Didn't you mean to keep the Mi clan safe? And now you want to pull them all in? ”
Pei Xingyuan raised his eyebrows and pierced her lies with a sharp shot.
But Mi Xia Yao was not flustered at all, she even calmly retorted, "I originally wanted to stay away, but wasn't I forced to get involved in this bloody storm that day?" ”
What she said was that day when she was clearing snow and met Prince Qinqiao.
Sure enough, when this matter was raised, Pei Xingyuan's expression suddenly became solemn.
"How about this cooperation, do you want to do it with us?" Mi Xia Yao pulled the topic back again and pressed him again.
Now in Beijing, since you can't protect yourself, you have to take advantage of the fact that the muddy water is not muddy enough, and go in first.
It's better to stir things up in person than to be forced to sink to the bottom.
Pei Xingyuan half-narrowed Danfeng's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the woman in front of him.
"What do I have here for you to covet?" He asked rhetorically.
Mi Xia Yao leaned on the door frame, she glanced Pei Xingyuan's body up and down, hooked her lips and smiled.
Seeing that her expression was ambiguous and silent, Pei Xingyuan subconsciously put down her upturned Erlang legs and sat on the railing.
"I'm a powerless woman, and I'm being targeted by bullies, so naturally I have to find a big tree to shade quickly." She whispered.
Rao is like this, the nurse who coaxes the child in the house eavesdropped for half a night, and couldn't help but look up at the pair of men and women at the door.
Pei Xingyuan glared at him keenly.
Seeing this, the nurse hurriedly withdrew her gaze.
He stood up suddenly, reached out to hold Mi Xiayao's wrist, and pulled her into his arms, and closed the door tightly with his other hand.
Make sure the people in the house can't see them before he lets go.
Mi Xia Yao was a little overwhelmed by his actions.
After a while, she heard the man's deep voice respond to her, "The chaos in the capital is not something you can enter if you want to enter or come out. ”
"But I want to get in." If she doesn't take the initiative to attack, those greedy wolves will disregard family affection and old intentions and eat her bones.
Pei Xingyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the woman's persistent and firm gaze.
The dim candlelight in the room fell on the woman's face, lining her delicate and delicate features even more seductively.
Pei Xingyuan's eyes flashed slightly, and his deep voice was rarely a little hoarse, "What do you want me to do." ”
He said this a little strangely, what she wanted him to do.
Mi Xia Yao chuckled, but she blinked her eyes and raised her eyes to meet the pair of Danfeng eyes.
She didn't answer the other party's question, but asked in a counter-voice: "You have different feelings for me, why?" ”
Are men people who have subtle changes in their minds after a night's sleep?
Mi Xia Yao really didn't understand why he always chose to accommodate her since that unexpected night.
He seemed to be able to expect her to say such a thing, and he replied unexpectedly naturally, "Being humble to women is the fine tradition of my Pei family." ”
"Are you humble to other women?"
"Then let's see, she's not articulate."
She frowned, indicating that she didn't understand the meaning of the words, "What kind of crooked truth is this? ”
Pei Xingyuan coughed lightly and pulled the topic back to the previous topic.
"You used the Mi family's money to trade with me, what do you want to get from me in exchange?"
Seeing that the other party was sincere in cooperating with him, Mi Xia Yao stopped teasing him.
"I want you."
She recited these three words lightly, and slammed a hole in the man's heart.
Pei Xingyuan felt a rare feeling of stagnation in his breath, and he thought quickly in his heart about how to deal with what she said.
The other party changed his words, "Your identity as Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, I want you to tie up my relationship with the outside world." ”
"What?" He subconsciously asked rhetorically.
Mi Xia Yao was mainly counterattacking at this time, raising her hand to tire up his clothes affectionately, and her bright eyes were smiling like a crescent moon at the moment.
"Half a month ago, our cooperative relationship was adjusted to each other, and my Mi family's financial resources can support you and make it more convenient for you to do things in Beijing, and I need to use your official position in the capital to protect the safety of my Mi family."
Pei Xingyuan saw that he had misunderstood those three words, and for a while, his heart was irrepressibly depressed.
He didn't give up and said, "That's it? ”
"More than that." Mi Xia Yao was smiling like a fox at the moment.
In these few conversations, she could easily grasp his emotions, and Mi Xia Yao noticed this, and her smile deepened.
"The boy in my house will have to call your father in the future."
Pei Xingyuan subconsciously turned his head to look at the closed door, "? ”
He immediately remembered the face of a man, and the thought of the boy calling him father, his good-looking sword eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"You and I don't have a child involved, how can we believe that we have a leg."
Mi Xia Yao's hand on his collarbone gradually increased in force, and Pei Xingyuan subconsciously raised his hand to hold her wrist.
The two men looked back together.
He paused for a moment, "Can you secretly and quickly mobilize thousands of taels of money?" ”
This is a bit mindless, Mi Xia Yao felt weird in her heart, but on the surface she responded neatly: "What's so difficult about this, give me three months, and I'll give you three times the money for you to call, but the premise is that I must see my grandfather." ”
The man's eyes were deep, and the gaze that looked at her was unfathomable, "Deal." ”
After that, Mi Xia Yao personally witnessed the man climb over the wall and leave, and Song Qiao stood beside her and looked at her wife sadly.
"The Duan family is still there in the capital, if we are so close to Master Pei, they won't be angry?"
Mi Xia Yao looked at the sky thoughtfully, and when she heard this, she hooked her lips, and the smile in her eyes deepened a lot.
"Otherwise, why did I choose Pei Xingyuan to cooperate?"
