Chapter 44: So This Is What Dr. Pei Is Like in Private

Li Yunchu froze for a moment. Well, that was just great, she had heard it.

Jiang Yiqing looked at Li Yunchu for two seconds, then turned around and walked away.

Li Yunchu knew she must have made her angry now.

For a moment, she felt rather at a loss.

"Oh dear, isn't she going to run crying to Supervisor Hu now? Saying that we bullied her. Yunchu, I told you that you shouldn't get too close to her."

Li Yunchu slightly knitted her brows. In her heart, actually, Jiang Yiqing wasn't...

"I really never expected that an established brand like Wei Mianji would fall into the hands of a stupid second-generation heir," someone remarked with a sigh.

Zhang Jingcheng was just about to speak when he noticed the atmosphere suddenly chilling, and his earpiece also transmitted a sound.

The brief and crude two-word phrase was extremely blurred, imprinted directly onto the carpet and blending seamlessly with its pattern.

Only once Gao Yangyang's tough exterior was broken would the task of subduing her become much easier.

Originally, they thought the Empress was pulling strings behind the scenes, but it turned out to be those people in the Imperial Household Department showing consideration for Shen Meizhuang.

Zhang Chaoqiang worried that Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong rushing over from the school would be too far and consume too much time and energy.

As for those guards who had previously wanted to trade Ye Tian for merit, they were now lying on the ground forever.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang's ultimate true level was concealed and suppressed by An Xitian, remaining completely unknown to anyone.

It seemed as though the grievances she had suffered from Chu Lin also erupted all at once, making her unable to control herself. She directly grabbed a cup of tea and splashed it across President Ma's face.

Jiang Manman was startled when someone called her full name directly. She raised her head in surprise to see who it was, and only then recognized him as the person who seemed to have helped her out that day.

Time ticked away second by second. Seeing that Lin Tian had still not returned, Shuang Ningning's heart grew unsettled once again—could he have encountered some unexpected danger?

Su Can still showed no intention of moving, while Zhao Zhihui beside him could no longer help secretly tugging at his own clothes, shaking his head at Su Can in a silent gesture of warning.

The entire journey passed in silence. After returning to Pearl City, Su Can first escorted Zhu Peipei back to her residence, and then brought Mu Jin to her own place in Pearl. Although Mu Jin did not give him any pleasant looks, after all that had happened tonight, Su Can stubbornly insisted on staying the night at her home anyway.

"Master Yi, please stay!" Suddenly, a mellow voice came from behind. Ran Qing paused her steps and turned around to meet Ling Moshen's piercing gaze. Up close, his complexion was somewhat pale; his injuries back then must have been extremely severe, otherwise he would not have taken this long to recover.

Her gaze shifted to Ning Jie once again, carrying infinite hatred and an unstoppable momentum this time. For a moment, Ning Jie did not know what to say.

"Tell me honestly, what on earth happened to Qingluan and Yuchi!" Xu Mi'nuo's domineering side took over, and at this moment she would tolerate no deception from anyone.

Luo Yimeng repeatedly urged me to stay and have dinner at the restaurant. Yet I still refused. Luo Zheng maintained his steady and mature demeanor throughout; he said nothing from beginning to end, simply listening quietly from the side.

Hirayama Jiro was seen standing there with his head bowed, completely motionless. Under the moonlight, his long shadow stretched out, flickering and wavering, looking quite as terrifying as a ghost.

After being stunned for a full five seconds, Gu Xixi finally spooned half the noodles from her own bowl into Yin Sichen's bowl.

Zhong Yucheng walked back holding an umbrella, unsure of what had come over him. When passing through the lobby, upon seeing the bag in the trash can, he picked it up again. At that moment, a trace of sneaky joy arose in his heart, as if he finally had a legitimate excuse to speak with her openly.

Zhou Zimo's pale lips were stained entirely with blood as he lay motionless on the ground, sending a sharp pang through Ye Yifan's heart. Her eyes grew slightly damp as she shook his body in helplessness.

With a cold expression, Zhou Zimo smacked her backside. Since she actually wanted to bear a child for Ye Hancheng, he was in no mood to hold her.

Hearing this, the Fourth Master instantly transformed into a wife-pampering maniac. Despite usually being so fastidious about cleanliness, he didn't even bother to clean himself up properly first; throwing a robe over his shoulders, he stepped down from the bed and instructed the night-shift eunuchs and maids to fetch food.
