No? Can I read the mind of my mortal enemy?

After chatting with "Crossing the River in a Boat", Shi Qiao felt incredibly energized.

[Crossing the River in a Single Boat: This could be considered my heretical cultivation method; it requires careful consideration.]

[Grumpy Chollez: Master Zhou is being modest. Before the term "heretical cultivator" was coined, we generally called such people geniuses.]

[One Boat Crossing the River: Just eat normally today, don't alert the enemy.]

[Grumpy Chocolat: OK, we'll talk again later, thanks Master Zhou.]

Shi Qiao quickly took a ten-minute shower, and when she came out, she found that Yi Zhou Du Jiang had sent her another message.

[A Boat Crossing the River: This is Jin Ye, the top male model shop in the port city.]

[One Boat Crossing the River: If you need it, add me yourself and say I referred you for a 20% discount.]

Shi Qiao honestly added a friend using her alternate account and then left it at that, carefully selecting and putting together a relatively mature outfit.

She wore a white lace undershirt that slightly exposed her shoulders, tucked into a black pencil skirt. She took out a silver belt and tied it diagonally at the waistline, highlighting her two small dimples.

Her waist-length black hair was parted to the side, revealing a small face that was no bigger than the palm of her hand.

She slightly emphasized her eye makeup, with delicate and slightly upturned eyeliner, making her look much more heroic than her natural, innocent look.

She grabbed her small black calfskin bag and pulled herself out of the room in mid-calf boots.

She looked up and was momentarily stunned.

Pei Jingnian and she happened to choose the same color scheme. The black tight-fitting T-shirt was stretched to its limit, with wrinkles everywhere, but it narrowed down to the waist and abdomen, leaving faint muscle lines visible.

A thin silver chain at the neckline adds a sense of layering, preventing the space from feeling too empty.

He leaned back on the sofa, his long legs slightly extended, his slightly wide straight-leg trousers draping heavily.

He casually styled his bangs into a fluffy 3/7 part with hair clay, his prominent brow bone shielding the top of his head from the light, half of which framed his nose.

She knew Pei Jingnian was handsome.

I've known this since I was little.

But this kind of deliberately dressed-up, stylistically impressive look was something she had never seen before.

Hearing footsteps, the man looked up and turned to Shi Qiao.

The pupils constrict slightly.

Whose wife has such long legs, a slim waist, and a pretty face?

Oh! It's from my house!

"Honey, look! We're wearing matching outfits!"

【We're the best couple in the world!】

He tried to cover up his actions by pushing up his glasses with his fingertips, then stood up and casually grabbed the keys to a Ferrari.

"I thought some people had changed their minds."

Shi Qiao put on her boots and finally managed to get her head close to Pei Jingnian's chin.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingertips, revealing a glimpse of her neck. "Let's go."

When she turned to the side, a red mark was revealed on her collarbone from the slightly open collar.

His eyes immediately went into auto-aiming mode, fixed intently on the strands of dark hair, and he almost couldn't resist reaching out to brush them aside.

The movement was too fast for him to see clearly.

Did he see it wrong?

Why does it feel like a hickey?

Shi Qiao stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, "Pei Jingnian?"

Pei Jingnian looked away, pressed the elevator button, and said, "Send me the restaurant address."

Shi Qiao blinked guiltily. "A restaurant?"

"Didn't we just pick any random place to eat?"

Before the elevator reached the top floor, the man pressed down, trapping her in his shadow. He gave a soft snort as he looked her over, raising one eyebrow.

"Hmm—so, when we casually offered to treat you, that was all the sentiment we had?"

The ending note has a playful hook.

Shi Qiao puffed out her cheeks in anger, "Yes, that's all."

"I'm sorry to disappoint Young Master Pei!"

"Ding," the elevator doors opened.

Pei Jingnian's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, his oppressive aura dissipating, and he gently tapped her forehead with his knuckles.

He bypassed Shi Qiao and entered the elevator first, turned on his phone, and took a picture from below, making the outlines clear.

"Is it alright to eat Japanese food?"

Shi Qiao stood there, stunned. "Huh? That's possible."

"But at this point..."

Pei Jingnian looked up and held the elevator door open for her. "Someone's dressed up quite decently for once. Aren't you planning to get something nice to eat?"

"I've made a reservation at Sushi Cho Main Store."

She swallowed her words skillfully.

Pei Jingnian was like a tapeworm in her stomach.

Although she had some takeaway seared salmon sushi yesterday, it was still far from being as good as a freshly made, hot bite at the restaurant.

This inexplicable thoughtfulness is more touching than his true feelings.

"If you don't come in, I'll go alone?" Pei Jingnian pretended to let go.

Shi Qiao quickly stepped inside, muttering, "That won't do. You can't enjoy it all by yourself."

The Ferrari Purosangue, a beautiful baby blue, cut through the bright lights and stopped in front of Sushi Cho's main store.

The supercar was already eye-catching, and the two men's striking faces together made for a beautiful sight.

"Hey, are those celebrities filming over there? They're so handsome and beautiful!"

"Please, all you beautiful ladies, find your boyfriends according to this standard!"

"Those broad shoulders and that tiny waist, it's the first time I've seen a couple that looks so good together."

"Yeah, you guys, film two episodes of 'bang bang bang' for us!"

"Everyone, keep your underwear dry! That's an order!"

"But you never know, what if they're siblings?"

"Dude, so you mean I still have a chance?"

Pei Jingnian's pace faltered for a moment. He put one hand in his pocket, glanced at the scattered noise, frowned slightly, and turned to close the distance between them.

His tall figure easily shielded Shi Qiao completely, effectively cutting off any uncomfortable gazes.

A suffocating atmosphere descended around him, and his cold eyes, like those of a wild dog locking its prey, suddenly silenced the restless young men.

"We...we'd better leave quickly."

"Why do I feel cold all over?"

He withdrew his hostility, and while Shi Qiao's attention was entirely focused on Sushi Zhao's izakaya design, he nakedly and greedily absorbed every bit of her.

A familiar fragrance, soft hair, a slender white neck...

He was completely infatuated with everything about her.

Everything belongs to him.

I won't give it to anyone.

He has always been so conflicted.

He wanted everyone to know that his daughter, Shi Qiao, was the prettiest and cutest little girl.

But at the same time, he gets extremely jealous whenever he hears someone praising Shi Qiao.

But at some point, he began to become selfish and despicable.

He hoped that a pearl like Shi Qiao could be buried in the dust for the rest of her life, living obediently in the cage he had carefully built.

She depends on him, only looks at him, and wants him to protect her forever.

He would eliminate anyone who coveted her without hesitation.

He would tear apart any potential threat to her until she suffocated.

play hard.

But for now, he still needs to continue hiding this sordid and discordant love.

He hid it until even if Shi Qiao learned the truth, he would still be unable to leave him.

Thinking about it that way, he really is a scumbag.

Upon entering, the entire restaurant was cleared out, with only two neatly arranged seats left in front of the chef's counter.

After we sat down, the chef briefly introduced today's menu and then began preparing the ingredients.

Buzz, Shi Qiao's phone vibrated twice.

[Wu Hao, the general agent for AAAA Jinye Gold Medal, has accepted your friend request.]

[Wu Hao: Hello Ms. Chollez, Mr. Zhou has already explained your situation to us.]

[Wu Hao: These are five handsome young men selected by our store who meet your requirements~]

[Wu Hao: (Images) *10]

[Wu Hao: Original images straight from the camera, 100% guaranteed offline. If Ms. Chocliz is not satisfied, we will take full responsibility. Ms. Chocliz, please rest assured!]

The process was so fast that Shi Qiao didn't even have a chance to turn off the screen.

The standard front-facing photo, along with a whole bunch of mouthwatering bodies, pops up in a flurry.

Unfortunately, this is a brand new phone, and it doesn't even have a privacy screen protector.

Snapped!

Without thinking twice, she flipped her phone over and slammed it face down on the table, so hard that her heart skipped a beat.

I feel sorry for my iPhone 3s screen.

Pei Jingnian probably...didn't see it, right?

There were no strange thoughts in her ears for the time being, and the man beside her remained expressionless.

safe.

Pei Jingnian suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "I forgot something in the car."

He left the store without waiting for Shi Qiao's reply, and instead of looking for the parking attendant, he went to the convenience store.

He stood in front of the cashier, staring at the numerous varieties of food.

Five male models.

His wife has really grown up.

Even something as simple as choosing male models is something she's mastered without any instruction.

With a flick of my finger, I swept away five boxes.

He seemed unable to hold back any longer.
