Inside the revolving door of the hall, a group of well-dressed people strolled in. Xi Xiangdong was surrounded by stars like a moon. Because of his tall stature, he stood out among the crowd.
Pei Xiao yelled and stepped forward to catch up. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, he tried his best to block his way.
Xi Xiangdong glanced sideways slightly, his eyes falling on her. His cold handsome face had no expression at all, as if he had never known her before.
Pei Xiao was a little embarrassed, but he still mustered up his courage and said in front of everyone: "Mr. Xi, can you take a step to speak? It won't delay you for a long time."
He remained motionless, with his head lowered indifferently. Upon seeing this, the security guard came up to drive her away, but Pei Xiao just stared into his eyes stubbornly: "Mr. Xi..."
At this time, Xi Xiangdong finally raised his eyes and smiled: "I remember someone said before that there is nothing to talk about with me."
Pei Xiao's face turned pale and he lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I..."
She stood there with her head slightly lowered, apologizing, but her hands were tangled together, and she was biting her lips tightly. She was obviously unwilling to do so.
"I'm going to eat now." Xi Xiangdong suddenly said, then walked around her and strode forward.
The secretary and subordinates behind him were stunned for a moment, and then followed his pace.
Pei Xiao knew that he would not be able to calm down so easily. She had already been mentally prepared before coming.
She gritted her teeth and followed: "It doesn't matter, I can wait nearby and it won't affect your meal. Just give me ten minutes..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xi Xiangdong had already stepped into the president's elevator, and his secretary stood in front of him and made a "stop" gesture.
Pei Xiao stared blankly at the elevator door closing in front of her eyes, feeling disappointed.
Behind her, a hand was placed on her shoulder and she said softly: "Are you going to a restaurant? How about we go together?"
She turned around and saw Xi Wan coming.
In the revolving restaurant in the building, Pei Xiao followed Xi Wanlai uneasily, but his eyes searched everywhere for Xi Xiangdong, wondering if he would come here to dine.
The indoor fountain gurgled and elegant piano music could be heard in the distance. Xi Wanlai took her to a seat by the window.
There was already a person sitting at the table, with his back to them, and his back was familiar.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Following Xi Wanlai's voice, the man stood up and turned around, his eyes unexpectedly met with Pei Xiao's in the air, a hint of surprise flashed through his deep eyes.
Xi Wanlai smiled knowingly: "I haven't introduced you yet, but this is my friend, Pei Xiao."
He pulled out the chair, pushed Pei Xiao onto the seat, and then said, "This is my eldest brother, Xi Xiangdong."
Xi Xiangdong's eyes lightly swept over her body, but within half a second, he moved away naturally, and his tone was calm: "Miss Pei, nice to meet you."
Receiving this kind of gaze, Pei Xiao felt even more anxious. How could she be so stupid? She didn't think of it when she saw Xi Wan coming in the elevator! In this imperial capital, how many rich people with the same surname Xi could still be there?
Which one?
When Xi Wanlai sat down next to her, he comforted her: "Don't be nervous. My eldest brother is used to showing off in front of his subordinates. He just looks scary."
Pei Xiao tried hard to hold the corner of his mouth, trying to smile, but it was too difficult.
Xi Xiangdong sat opposite her, not even looking at her, but casually chatting with Xi Wanlai about common topics.
This meal was the most uneasy meal that Pei Xiao had ever eaten. She never thought that she would sit at the same table with Xi Xiangdong to eat under such circumstances. Would he be angry with herself for this, let alone refuse to forgive her?
