"When did I have a woman? I have been clean and self-sufficient in my life, and there is no such thing as a woman."
Pei Xingyuan frowned, but he couldn't hide the faint smile at the bottom of his deep eyes.
Mi Xiayao glanced at Pei Xingyuan and stood in front of him with her arms folded across her chest.
"I had a bad attitude before, and I got angry for a while."
But this does not prove that she can forgive him for joining the prince's camp.
Pei Xingyuan sat on the railing with his legs crossed. He raised his chin and listened to the other party's weak apology.
The smile on the man's face gradually deepened.
"I figured it out after I went back. I want to have another cooperation with Mr. Pei."
As soon as Mr. Pei said these three words, Pei Xingyuan's smile that was rising just now faded away.
"What kind of cooperation do you want to do with me?" The man's voice was calm.
Mi Xiayao didn't even think about it, she just spread it out and explained.
"My father is also one of the top wealthy businessmen in Qingzhou. Although my Mi family is now leaderless in the capital, the camel will be crushed by a bigger camel than the horse. The son of the eldest son of the Mi family is preparing to join the cabinet. In the future, he will be His Majesty's right-hand man. Together with you
Cooperation, isn’t this enough?”
"Didn't you originally want to protect the Mi family? Now you want to drag them all in?"
Pei Xingyuan raised his eyebrows and exposed her lies sharply.
But Mi Xiayao was not flustered at all. She even retorted calmly, "I originally wanted to stay away, but wasn't I forced to be involved in this bloody storm that day?"
What she was talking about was that she happened to meet Prince Qin Qiao while sweeping snow that day.
Sure enough, when this matter was brought up, Pei Xingyuan's expression suddenly became solemn.
"How about this cooperation? Do you want to do this cooperation with us?" Mi Xiayao brought the topic back and pressed him again.
Now in Beijing, since we can't protect ourselves wisely, we have to get in first while the muddy water is not muddy enough.
It's better to stir things up yourself than to be forced to the bottom.
Pei Xingyuan half-squinted his red phoenix eyes, as if he wanted to see through the woman in front of him.
"What can I do for you to covet?" he asked in a deep voice.
Mi Xiayao leaned on the door frame. She looked up and down Pei Xingyuan's body and smiled.
Seeing her ambiguous expression and silence, Pei Xingyuan subconsciously lowered his raised legs and sat upright on the railing.
"I am a helpless woman, and if I am targeted by a bully, I naturally have to find a big tree with shade." She said softly.
Even so, the nanny who was coaxing the child in the house eavesdropped for half the night and couldn't help but raise her head and glance at the man and woman at the door.
Pei Xingyuan stared at him with sharp eyesight.
Seeing this, the wet nurse quickly looked away.
He suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand to hold Mi Xiayao's wrist, half-closed her into his arms, and quickly closed the door tightly with his other hand.
After making sure that the people in the room couldn't see them, he let go of the other party.
Mi Xiayao was a little overwhelmed by his actions.
A moment later, she heard a man's deep voice responding to her, "The chaos in the capital is not something you can get in and get out of whenever you want."
"But I insist on getting in." If she doesn't take the initiative, those greedy wolves will ignore family ties and use their old intentions to skin her and devour her bones.
Pei Xingyuan lowered his eyes to meet the woman's persistent and firm gaze.
The dim candlelight in the room fell on the woman's face, making her delicate and charming features even more alluring.
Pei Xingyuan's eyes flashed slightly, and his deep voice was rarely hoarse, "What do you want me to do."
What he said was a bit strange, what did she want him to do?
Mi Xiayao chuckled lightly, but she blinked her eyes and raised her eyes to meet those red and phoenix eyes.
She did not answer the other party's question, but asked instead: "You have different feelings for me, why?"
Do all men have subtle changes in their thoughts after a night's sleep?
Mi Xiayao really didn't understand why he always chose to accommodate her since that unexpected night.
He seemed to have expected that she would say such a thing, and unexpectedly responded very naturally, "It is a fine tradition of my Pei family to be modest to women."
"Are you also humble to other women?"
"Then let's see if she is articulate or not."
She frowned, expressing that she didn't understand what she meant, "What kind of nonsense is this?"
Pei Xingyuan coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the previous topic.
"You used the Mi family's money to make a deal with me. What do you want to get from me in exchange for equal value?"
Seeing that the other party sincerely wanted to cooperate with her, Mi Xiayao stopped teasing him.
"I want you."
She whispered these three words, which punched a hole in the man's heart.
Pei Xingyuan rarely felt his breath stagnate as he thought quickly about how to respond to what she said.
But the other party changed the topic and said, "Your identity as Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, I want you to be tightly tied to my external relations."
"What?" he asked subconsciously.
Mi Xiayao took the counterattack at this time, raising her hand to tidy up his clothes affectionately, her bright eyes smiling like crescent moons.
"We adjusted our cooperative relationship half a month ago. Our Mi family's financial resources can support you and make it easier for you to do things in Beijing, but I need to use your official position in the capital to protect the safety of my Mi family."
Pei Xingyuan saw that he had misunderstood those three words, and for a moment, he felt uncontrollably depressed.
He said without giving up: "That's it?"
"It's not just that." Mi Xiayao smiled like a fox at this moment.
With these few words of dialogue, she could easily manipulate his emotions. Mi Xiayao noticed this and smiled even deeper.
"The child in my house will have to call you father in the future."
Pei Xingyuan subconsciously turned to look at the closed door, "?"
He immediately thought of a person's face in his mind, and when he thought about the child calling him father, his beautiful sword-shaped eyebrows knitted together tightly.
"If you and I don't involve a child, how can the outside world believe that we are having an affair."
Mi Xiayao's hand on his collarbone gradually became stronger, and Pei Xingyuan subconsciously raised his hand to hold her wrist tightly.
The two people met their eyes again.
He paused for a moment, "Can you secretly mobilize thousands of taels of money quickly?"
What she said was a bit irrational, and Mi Xiayao felt weird in her heart, but on the surface she responded neatly: "What's the problem? Give me three months, and I'll give you three times the money for you to use, but the premise is
, I must see my grandpa.”
The man's eyes deepened and he looked at her with an unfathomable look, "Deal."
After that, Mi Xiayao personally witnessed the man climb over the wall and leave, and Song Qiao stood beside her, looking at her wife sadly.
"The family members in the capital are still here. If we get so close to Mr. Pei, won't they be mad to death?"
Mi Xiayao looked at the sky thoughtfully. When she heard these words, she curled her lips and the smile in her eyes deepened a lot.
"Otherwise, why would I choose Pei Xingyuan to cooperate?"
