Endless Fall

113 You Want a Chance? Shameless

Early morning after the rain.

After a short stop at the entrance of Linxi Kindergarten, a Mercedes-Benz drove to Sheng Heng’s parking lot.

After reaching the top floor, Pei Zhi made himself a cup of coffee as usual and sat at his desk to work.

“Boss.” Qu Shao knocked on the door.

!!

He reported what he discovered last night. “The employees on this floor know about your relationship with Miss Lin. Do you need me to remind them?”

“Do people on other floors know too?”

“Not yet.”

Pei Zhi took a sip of coffee.

He looked up. “She has a few proposals to make recently. Don’t let anyone disturb her.”

Qu Shao understood immediately. “Sure.”

He went outside to have a meeting with the employees and reminded them not to spread rumors.

“Assistant Qu, someone is looking for President Pei downstairs.” The female employee who received the call from the front desk stopped him in time.

“Who is it?”

“She said she’s President Pei’s sister.”

Qu Shao was confused.

He walked into the CEO’s office with a document to sign and explained about this mysterious ‘sister’.

“Is her surname Fang?”

“I don’t know. She didn’t say.”

Pei Zhi was silent for a moment. “Ask her to come up.” He pointed at the sofa beside him. “Sit there and record the conversation for me.”

Qu Shao sat down and called the front desk.

He casually lit a cigarette and asked out of curiosity, “Boss, who’s this Miss Fang?”

“Someone from the Lin family.”

“Miss Lin’s sister?”

“Her stepmother’s niece.” At the mention of her, Pei Zhi revealed undisguised disgust.

Looking at his expression, Qu Shao knew roughly what it was about.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, he looked at the door and sized up the figure that had barged in.

She was probably in her early twenties and was considered delicate-looking but there was nothing special about her that would attract people.

“Brother Pei.” Fang Yanwen ignored the person on the sofa and ran towards the desk.

Ever since her encounter with him that day, she couldn’t shake him off her mind no matter what.

Even though she had been treated coldly by him, she still wanted to give it a try to win his heart.

Pei Zhi said coldly, “I don’t have a sister.”

At this moment, he was as cold as a glacier, nothing like the way he was when he was with Lin Jiao.

However, his indifference did not make Fang Yanwen give up. “Have you had breakfast?”

“Cut to the chase.”

“Don’t be so harsh on me.” She pulled out a chair and sat down. “I know a few good restaurants nearby. Shall we go and eat together?”

“I’m busy.”

“You don’t even have fifteen minutes?”

“Don’t you understand human language?” Pei Zhi threw the folder on the table and lost his patience.

When a terrifying gaze shot at her, Fang Yanwen took a deep breath and suppressed her fear.

She clenched her fists to mentally prepare herself before slowly saying, “Can you give me a chance to chase you?”

“You don’t know that I have a girlfriend?”

“It’s not like I can control myself if I like someone… Whether you have a girlfriend or not, I still want to try.”

Pei Zhi chuckled.

He looked straight at her with a deep gaze. “What’s the difference between you and an animal if you can’t even control something so basic as your emotion?”

Being compared to an animal, no matter how strong-willed Fang Yanwen was, she couldn’t help but cry.

She suddenly jumped up from her seat. “Don’t you think it’s too much to say that about me?”

“Your behavior is even worse.”

“If I’m shameless simply because I like you, then doesn’t that make Lin Jiao shameless too?”

Pei Zhi’s face darkened.

He placed his hands on the table. Perhaps because he was too angry, the veins on the back of his hands bulged. “Say that again?”
