Bamboo horse teases green plum 28 Sorry, I can't guarantee!

  Sorry, I can't guarantee!

  Pei Yue didn't respond and quietly looked at Xiao Ji, waiting for her to continue speaking.

  Xiao Ji stared at Pei Yue's face with a condescending attitude.

  "Aren't you saying that you and Xiao Ming from my family are just old acquaintances? How come there's a photo of you two like that? Or is the photo fake?"

  A few days ago when they met, Xiao Ji was not very friendly to Pei Yue, but still polite. Now, she didn't even bother with politeness. No wonder her attitude changed so quickly, yesterday when she saw that report, her first reaction was that she had been played by Pei Yue, that seemingly harmless little brat!

  "Auntie, the photo is real! When I said those words to you, he and I were indeed just old acquaintances."

  Pei Yue was too lazy to find excuses to coax Xiao Jie, but she couldn't understand why Xiao Jie's attitude towards her had changed so much. Although Xiao Jie hadn't been as fond of her as Bai Nainai in the past, she hadn't shown such blatant disgust and rejection before.

  Xiao Ji's eyes were as cold as ice, and her mouth curled up slightly, letting out a cold laugh.

  "Hmm, you mean it's not now?"

  If Xiao Qi had known earlier that this stinky girl would suddenly appear again and entangle with her son, she should have taken tough measures to resolve the marriage between her son and Lina several months ago. It's all her own fault for being too indulgent towards this precious son of hers!

  Xiao Ji's question made the air pressure in the car extremely low, but Xiao Ji herself didn't have a clear answer to this question either.

  Xiao Ji was so anxious to come and find herself, no more than wanting to get what she wanted from her own place.

  But Pei Yue couldn't deceive others, nor did she want to deceive herself. After reuniting with Bai Ming, the emotions that surged up instantly were mostly hatred. However, as they spent more time together day by day, with memories resurfacing and Bai Ming's strong yet gentle advances, along with her hatred, many happy and sad scenes of their past experiences together began to emerge, and her heart was slowly changing, wavering.

  She wants to have a good talk with Bai Ming, she needs some time to sort out her feelings for Bai Ming over the years.

  Before she could react, Xiao Ji approached her with an overbearing attitude, and Xiao Ji's strong posture, as if dominating everything, made Pei Yue very disgusted.

  "I don't know! Bai Ming and I aren't really considered a couple now, but sorry, I won't be able to guarantee that we won't have that kind of relationship in the future as you wish, Aunt Ji."

  Pei Yue's completely different tough attitude from last time made Xiao Ji very angry, this stinky girl was clearly provoking her!

  Who is Xiao Ji? She's the wife of a national famous entrepreneur and a minister, who usually makes people bow their heads in flattery. But this little girl dares to be so arrogant and openly defiant, who does she think she is?

  "Xiao Yue, don't say Auntie didn't remind you, Xiao Ming and Lina's marriage is already a done deal, stop causing trouble!"

  If Qiu Lirina hadn't appeared yesterday, Pei Yue might still have believed Xiao Ji's words.

  "Bai Ming said he and Lina were just friends." She believed not only her own eyes but also Bai Ming.

  Xiao Ji narrowed her eyes and glanced at Pei Yue with a slanted gaze.

  "Silly girl, are you stupid?! Who doesn't want to enjoy the blessings of others? Men are all like this, aren't they? Didn't your mom ever remind you?"

  When Xiao Ji mentioned her own mother, Pei Yue's face changed and the hand on her knee clenched into a fist.

  "Auntie, this has nothing to do with my mom!"

  Xiao Ji coldly gazed at Pei Yue's face turning ashen, pressing the communication button on the soundproof panel to command the driver in the driver's seat.

  "Park."

  The car quickly turned to the side of the road and stopped, Pei Yue silently opened the door, her feet had just touched the ground when she heard Xiao Si say.

  "Girl, I've said all that needs to be said. If you insist on going your own way, then in the future, it will definitely be you who regrets it!"

  Pei Yue ignored her, stood up straight with both feet on the ground, swung his hand back and slammed the car door shut with a "bang", walked a few steps away, and hailed a taxi.

  It was almost ten o'clock when she returned to the city hall, and as she walked from the main gate to the mayor's office, people's gazes at her were noticeably different from before. These differences were all within Pei Yue's expectations, so they didn't cause much fluctuation in her mood.

  Secretary Wang looked a bit surprised to see her, and after greeting her, he followed her into the office. As soon as the door closed, before Pei Yue could speak, Secretary Wang said:

  "Attorney Pei and Mayor Bai are in a meeting."

  Pei Yue's sharp eyes caught sight of the unemptied trash can with a few lunch boxes and empty energy drink bottles, her eyebrows furrowing instantly.

  "Wang Secretary, didn't Mayor Bai return home to rest last night?"

  Wang's secretary nodded. "Yeah, I couldn't persuade him! He came back here directly from the rescue scene, took a bath and slept for about two hours before getting up to arrange work."

  Pei Yumei's eyebrows furrowed even more, and Secretary Wang raised his wrist to glance at his watch before continuing.

  "He instructed me to arrange for a driver to go to the disaster area at 10 o'clock, Attorney Pei, you persuade him later."

  "Uh-huh."

  Just as they were talking, the office door was suddenly pushed open, followed by a steady and powerful footsteps and Bai Ming's still hoarse voice.

  "Xiao Wang, let's go."

  Look at Pei Yue, Bai Ming was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and stood in front of her, staring at her face. "Xiao Yue? Didn't I tell you to rest well at home? Why did you come back again?"

  Wang Shu retreated tactfully.

  Pei Yue didn't respond, her eyes wide open and fixed on him, only to see that although his face was somewhat haggard, his eyes were still as black and bright as ever, sharp and spirited, and the heart that had been suspended in mid-air finally felt a little more at ease.

  "Tired?"

  She asked softly, her limbs already a step ahead of her brain, lifting her hand to stroke the white and handsome face, the tight touch and slightly cool temperature transmitted to her slender fingertips. When she came to her senses and realized that her actions were too intimate, wanting to withdraw her hand, Bai Ming's large hand had already covered hers, his bony and powerful fingers clasping hers, holding them lightly.

  "Not tired!"

  Pei Yuede stared at him steadily and finally found that although his eyes were still shining, there were some red threads around the corners of his eyes.

  "Be more careful next time."

  Bai Yue had already forgotten what Secretary Wang had entrusted her with.

  "I will!"

  Bai Ming brought her hand to his lips, lightly kissed it, and reluctantly let go. Although he wanted to hold onto this rare moment of warmth forever, he didn't forget that there were more important things waiting for him to do!

  Pei Yue watched as Bai Ming turned around, suddenly remembering something, and then called out to him.

  "Bai Ming, this is for you!"

  Bai Ming took over the bag in confusion.

  "What is this?"

  "Add soup!"

  "What did you cook for me?" Bai Ming couldn't help but curve up his lips in a gentle smile.

  "It's not, my mom made it for me, I'm just borrowing it to offer to the Buddha. How about you, don't you want some?" Pei Yue Zhen couldn't bear to crush his hopes, this bowl of soup was something Hu Xin had insisted on her bringing along when they were leaving the house.

  "Mine!" Bai Ming clutched the bag tightly and quickly turned around to leave, as if afraid that Pei Yue would change his mind and snatch the bowl of soup back!
