Chapter Eighteen

  Willing to wait for you

  "Miss, you're back. Dinner is ready. Are you going to eat first or..." Lan Ayi smiled and greeted Huan Peijin with a slight bow.

  "Uh, I'll go change into something else first and then come back to eat." Huan Pei Jing responded somewhat helplessly to Lan Yi, who never listened when she told her not to be so polite.

  "Xiao Jing is back." Chen Qi Ming sat on the sofa reading the newspaper, heard the sound and looked over, with a good fatherly appearance.

  "Hmm." Huan Pei Jing softly responded and went upstairs.

  Huan Peijing and Chen Qiming sat down to eat together, this was Huan Peijing's first time having a meal with him at the same table, didn't feel anything, just like strangers.

  "This is actually our first time having dinner together, isn't it?" Chen Qiming said with a smile as he looked at the silent Huan Peijin.

  Huan Pei Jing glanced at him, then looked away and continued eating slowly, her tone flat: "You're implying that I'm to blame, you've been here for so long and only now am I having dinner with you?"

  "Uh, haha, it's not what you think, I was just sighing that my daughter and I can finally have a meal together, this has always been my wish." Chen Qiming's voice was slightly hoarse.

  Her grip on the knife and fork in her hand tightened, a wave of turmoil in her stomach, she lowered her eyes and refused to look at that hypocritical face, but she had completely lost her appetite.

  Chen Qiming saw Huan Peijing's slightly drooping eyes and thought she had been moved by his words, so he smiled slightly and changed the subject: "By the way, Xiaojing, are you doing well in school? Are you having fun?"

  "Oh, it's quite interesting, only today I humiliated the daughter of Xia Zhi Shi, the second-ranked chairman in the city, again." Huan Pei Jing said calmly.

  "Oh, Xiao Jing is so formidable!" Chen Qi Ming's smile froze and he looked at Huan Pei Jing with concern.

  "Aunt Lan, I've eaten well, you can collect the dishes." Xuan Pei Jing glanced at Chen Qi Ming and threw down the knife and fork in her hand, turning around to head back to her room.

  Chen Qiming didn't mind whether Huan Peijing said hello to him or not, and he smiled as he watched her return to her room. He turned his gaze back to Lan Ayi: "Tonight's dishes are also very delicious."

  "Thank you for your compliment." Lan aunt replied with a professional smile. In her heart, she didn't like him very much, humph, always inquiring about Miss's news when Miss wasn't around, if he wanted to know so badly, why wouldn't he go find out himself? It seemed suspicious, she needed to remind Old He not to talk nonsense and also be on guard against him.

  Chen Qiming got the same answer as last night and didn't mind, smiled and started eating. If he knew what Lan's mother was thinking now, he wouldn't be so calm. Even the servants had such deep thoughts, it can be imagined that this family is not so simple.

  Huan Pei Jing returned to her room and started working on the unfinished plan book, putting aside what had just happened. She looked at the time and it was almost 9 o'clock, so she sent the completed plan book to Meng Huan's computer, turned off the computer, took a refreshing bath, and was about to put on makeup when she suddenly remembered something. She put down her makeup tools, changed into ordinary high school girl clothes, grabbed her bag, and left.

  Arriving at the hall, as expected, Chen Qiming was sitting there reading a newspaper, but it's unclear whether he was really reading or just pretending to.

  "Good evening, miss." Lan's aunt, who was serving tea to Chen Qi Ming, saw Huan Pei Jing quietly greeting her.

  "Xiao Jing, where are you going?" Chen Qi Ming looked at Huan Pei Jing with surprise when he heard Lan Yi's words, and asked as soon as he saw Huan Pei Jing's outfit.

  "Lan aunt doesn't need to wait for me at the door tonight, we haven't seen each other for so long and need to rekindle our feelings properly, he definitely won't let me come back that easily." Huan Pei Jing said with a soft tone and eyes that seemed to be on the verge of tears, seeing her expression even an idiot would know she was going to meet her lover tonight.

  "It's Miss, have a great time tonight." Lan aunt smiled and congratulated her.

  Huan Pei Jing smiled sweetly and glanced at Lan Yi, others couldn't see it, but Lan Yi could see the approval in Huan Pei Jing's eyes, she glanced sideways at Chen Qi Ming, Huan Pei Jing smiled brightly and twisted her small waist, with a silly look of a girl in love, and walked away.

  "So late, who is Xiao Jing going to see?" Chen Qi Ming looked at Huan Pei Jing disappearing from his line of sight and turned to ask Lan Yi.

  "Mr. Chen, look at the young lady's expression and guess who she is going to see?" Aunt Lan asked with a smile: "I still have things to do, Mr. Chen, take your time." Hum, claiming to be the young lady's father, so late seeing her go out only asks who she is going to see, doesn't ask if this girl will be in danger, hum, there must be a problem, I wonder what the young lady has planned.

  After hearing Aunt Lan's reply, Chen Qiming thought for a moment and put down the newspaper to go back to his room. At the kitchen door, Aunt Lan looked at Chen Qiming with a profound meaning as he entered the room.

  Xuanpei Jing drove her sports car to the most famous hair salon in the city, she wouldn't have come here if she didn't have to spend money. As soon as she entered, the person who made her feel most helpless came over to pester her.

  "Ah, Xiao Jingjing you're here, Ah Hui take over." A somewhat androgynous-looking handsome man exclaimed as soon as he saw Huan Peijin.

  "Okay." Ahui, who was called by Xiaojing, smiled and nodded in response.

  The girl sitting there looked at the sudden change of face and sank down, but she didn't dare to make a move. Who let that man be the chief here? Offending him would mean no good treatment in the future. Ahui was not bad either, but this face was hard to swallow, so she could only glare viciously at Huan Pei Jing.

  Huan Pei Jing nodded slightly towards Ah Hui, giving the man a cold shoulder and ignoring the woman's gaze as she walked into the work studio. Honestly, every time she came here, she became the center of attention, uh! It seemed that the word "public enemy" was more fitting.

  "Xiao Jingjing, I have a new idea. Do you want to try it? It will definitely make you look even more lovely." The chief didn't mind Huan Pei Jing's disregard and followed her, flattering her by her side.

  "I'm fine now, I don't want to change my hairstyle, can you please not make me a guinea pig every time you come?" Fang Peijin said with some helplessness after finding the clothes she needed.

  "What's with the white mouse? It's not like it's some kind of experiment, you're talking about me as if I'm terrifying or something." Looking at the quietly closed door: "No matter what, I'm still the chief here, and who knows how many people outside want me to create a new hairstyle for them. You specially ask me to do yours and yet you complain, honestly."

  "Shallow Yang uncle, since there are so many people outside who want you, why don't you do it for them?" Huan Pei Jing said as she came out after changing her clothes.

  "What's with the 'big uncle'?! I'm not even 30 yet, stop calling me that randomly! You guys are different from them, I've told you many times already. By the way, where's Little Mei and Little Fei?" Shallow Yang said, staring at Huan Pei Jing with a stern expression.

  "Yes, twenty-nine and still not thirty yet." Huan Pei Jing sat quietly in the chair, opening her makeup kit and smiling as she glanced at Shallow Yang.

  "Don't casually mention my age, what kind of makeup do you want?" Shallow Yang came to Huan Pei Jing's side and glared at her.

  "I'm going to meet Blue Witch and her friends." Huan Pei Jing smiled at Qian Yang.

  Qian Yang is one of the core members of the Dark Society and also one of the few people who know the true identities of Huan Pei Jing and others. He knows how to dress appropriately for different occasions, and indeed, as soon as he hears Huan Pei Jing's words, he seriously gets to work.
