92 If A Man Said That He Don’t Want To Hear It, It’s Equivalent To A Woman Saying No

Speaking of the Waldorf, Li Xiwu realized that Pei Jingzhou’s expression was a little gloomier than before. She didn’t forget to mention, “He Wang told me.”

Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips and did not intend to speak. Li Xiwu sat closer to Pei Jingzhou. He glanced at her. “Got a conscience?”

Li Xiwu was about to say something.

Pei Jingzhou turned his face away. “I don’t want to hear it.”

Li Xiwu: “…”

The muteness came in an instant. She wondered what to say. After thinking about it, she decided to end the conversation, which had never started in the first place. “Okay, let’s not talk about that.”

Pei Jingzhou turned his face to look at her. “If a man said that he doesn’t want to hear it, it’s equivalent to a woman saying no.”

Li Xiwu: “?”

Initially, she did not think these two sentences were the same concept, but after Pei Jingzhou said this, countless images similar to these words appeared in her mind.

She said no. But not only did a certain someone ignore her, but he also became more and more ruthless…

Pei Jingzhou smiled. “You understand?”

Li Xiwu straightened up and sighed. “I was eating with Qiao Qiao and I put my phone on silent. When I went back, I really didn’t look at my phone and went to bed. I only saw your call the next day when I arrived at the inn. Is that an explanation?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “You’ve explained this before.”

It was the same words. However, Li Xiwu had used a perfunctory attitude to explain. Now, it was a sincere explanation.

Li Xiwu suddenly asked, “Was it some special day the day before yesterday?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Nothing special. It was to celebrate your appearance on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show.”

Li Xiwu was stunned. “Celebrate? Didn’t Fourth Brother object to me going on this variety show at first?”

Pei Jingzhou wanted to laugh. “You’re my wife, not my daughter. What can my objection change?”

Li Xiwu said, “Nothing.”

Pei Jingzhou snorted and ignored her. Li Xiwu understood. Okay, so that’s what this was about. Although their relationship was about to reach its end, Pei Jingzhou had been extremely benevolent to her for the past three years. He wanted to celebrate her participation in the variety show by booking dinner at the Waldorf Restaurant. In the end, she turned off her phone and ignored it. Thinking about it, it really shouldn’t have happened.

She looked at Pei Jingzhou. “Is Fourth Brother still angry?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Yes.”

Li Xiwu was about to apologize when Pei Jingzhou suddenly said, “If you take the initiative to kiss me, I’ll consider digesting this anger myself.”

In the past, Li Xiwu would have ignored him. This time, though, she was compliant and asked, “Kiss which side?”

Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and tapped his lips. “Here.”

…

The kiss ended.

Li Xiwu realized belatedly that she was already sitting in Pei Jingzhou’s arms. She’d initiated the kiss.

There was still a driver driving in front. She had only planned to give him a light kiss as a sign. In any case, they had been husband and wife for three years. There was nothing to be pretentious about lying on the same bed day and night.

However, Pei Jingzhou pressed her down. At some point, even the barrier had ‘consciously’ risen. Li Xiwu felt that the man hugging her was craving her, but he still held it in.

Li Xiwu looked at the man who was on the verge of losing control. “Are you suffering from your own actions?”

Pei Jingzhou calmed his breathing. “I’m enjoying it.”

Li Xiwu moved slightly, ready to get out of his arms and sit back down.

Pei Jingzhou pressed her waist and said in a low voice, “Don’t move. If you move again, I’ll die.”

Li Xiwu said honestly, “It’s uncomfortable sitting in your arms.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “You have to endure it.”

How domineering.

When Pei Jingzhou had mostly calmed down, Li Xiwu got off him and sat back down. She took out a small mirror and lip gloss from her bag to touch up her makeup. Looking at the mirror, she realized that the original lip gloss on her lips had been eaten by Pei Jingzhou just now. Some colors were wiped on her chin. It was unbearable to look at.

She quickly touched up her makeup. She turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou raise his hand to wipe the lipstick mark on his lips. This action was especially seductive.

Li Xiwu couldn’t help but ask, “Is Fourth Brother still interested in chatting?”

Pei Jingzhou acutely sensed what Li Xiwu wanted to ask. He hesitated for two seconds and slowly said, “You want to ask about Madam Di Xin?”

“Yes,” she said frankly. She actually wanted to ask about Madam Di Xin’s appearance at Lake Roman today. She even said that she had specially gone to see her. It was too difficult to understand. She wondered how much she could find out from Pei Jingzhou.

However, she realized that after she raised this topic, Pei Jingzhou clearly had no intention of talking about Madam Di Xin.

“Can we talk?” Li Xiwu asked.

Pei Jingzhou sighed. “Ask away.” He had said that as long as she asked, he would tell her. If she wasn’t curious and didn’t want to probe too much, there was no need for him to say it.

Li Xiwu leaned back. “Madam Di Xin is from Country T and has the noble status of the former Prime Minister’s wife. She’s also familiar with Fourth Brother and chats happily with you.”

Pei Jingzhou did not reply. He gestured for her to continue.

Li Xiwu didn’t pause long. “It had nothing to do with me, but Madam Di Xin said I looked like the daughter of an old friend of hers.”

Pei Jingzhou did not answer immediately. Li Xiwu was not in a hurry to know the answer. She just looked at Pei Jingzhou’s expression quietly, trying to see something on his face. A moment later, Pei Jingzhou looked up at her. “Tell me, what do you think now?”

Li Xiwu laughed playfully. “I think maybe my face is too popular.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Perhaps you’re really like the daughter of the old friend Madam Di Xin mentioned.”

Li Xiwu was a little surprised. “Is there such a coincidence?”

Pei Jingzhou’s gaze did not shift. “It’s not a coincidence if you’re willing to believe it.”

Li Xiwu’s body was a little tense, not as relaxed as she appeared. “I was just asking. After all, it was really a surprise to meet Madam Di Xin today.”

Pei Jingzhou’s jaw tightened. “Perhaps you will meet again.”

Li Xiwu said, “Huh?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “I’m only saying perhaps.”

Li Xiwu didn’t take it seriously. Seeing her once was a coincidence. There shouldn’t be a second coincidence, right?

The car was about to reach the inn. Li Xiwu looked at the time. “I wonder if we’re the earliest back.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “No.”

Li Xiwu was still wondering why Pei Jingzhou was so certain until she saw the figure of a family of three outside the inn. It was Chi Xu carrying his daughter, Shenshen, and Xie Wen tidying her daughter’s hat. No matter how she looked at it, it was a very warm scene. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and prepared to get out of the car.

Pei Jingzhou stopped her. “Wait.”

Li Xiwu turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou handing her his own phone. Li Xiwu didn’t take it. Pei Jingzhou said concisely, “Regarding everything that happened in the production team of ‘Glory of the World’, the investigation team has sorted out the files and sent them over. Take a look.”

Li Xiwu was surprised. “You found out so quickly?”

Pei Jingzhou hooked his gaze on her. “Questioning my efficiency?”

Li Xiwu smiled and reached out to take it. “I wouldn’t dare.”

Just as she caught the phone, Pei Jingzhou grabbed Li Xiwu’s hand and pulled her back a little. “I want to change my mind.”

Li Xiwu looked up, her almond-shaped eyes blinking. “What?”

Pei Jingzhou swallowed. “Why don’t we go back to Lake Lu tonight?”
