Chapter 480: Chapter 478: Who is it?
Feng Ya Meizi couldn’t help but survey Pei Huai’s physique with her gaze, desiring since their first encounter to taste what this man was like.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, a slim torso—it was clear he possessed a rare and enviable build.
Unrestrained, Feng Ya Meizi licked her lips, almost blatantly displaying her desire for him.
When Pei Huai came back to his senses, he just so happened to catch her suggestive look, causing his stomach to churn in an instant.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, he regarded Feng Ya Meizi with a cold gaze, "Since you’re so unconcerned, you could pick any man you want. There’s no need to be fixated on me."
Feng Ya Meizi smiled, "But it’s you I fancy."
As she said this, her voluptuous figure leaned forward slightly in an attempt to seduce him.
Pei Huai stood up from his chair abruptly, not intending to give her any face, "The only reason I agreed to meet you was because of business between our two families. If you’re not interested in discussing that, then let’s end things here today. I’ll have my assistant continue negotiations with you."
As he turned to leave, the woman behind him grabbed at the hem of his clothes.
Pei Huai’s reaction was almost reflexive as he shook her off.
Feng Ya Meizi looked injured as she gazed at Pei Huai, realizing he was completely unmoved by her charms. She stood as well, "You’ll regret this."
Pei Huai curled his lips in a chilling smile, yet said nothing.
Feng Ya Meizi boldly began to tear her own clothes right in front of him, prompting Pei Huai’s brow to furrow severely. He immediately stepped back, "This is a café, after all."
"So what if it’s a café? Everyone here is mine," Feng Ya Meizi declared triumphantly.
Only then did Pei Huai notice that they were the only two people left in the café, not even a waiter in sight.
He suddenly felt slightly dizzy.
But he hadn’t touched the coffee on the table, so it wasn’t the drink.
His gaze involuntarily shifted towards a table not far away, on which an incense was burning, its scent growing stronger.
His brow furrowed sharply as he realized he had fallen prey to the woman’s scheme.
Feng Ya Meizi continued walking, pulling at her clothes as she went.
She was only wearing a fiery red evening gown, which, after her pulling at it, had left her shoulder completely exposed.
"Don’t worry, I’m very skilled. I’m sure to make you happy."
Pei Huai’s expression turned ice-cold in an instant.
He took a sudden step forward and pushed Feng Ya Meizi onto a nearby bench, his eyes turning a fierce red.
Feng Ya Meizi hadn’t expected him to react so swiftly, her lips curling with satisfaction, "Don’t be so rough with me. There’s no one else here, you can take your time."
With another chilling smile, Pei Huai grabbed a coffee cup from the table and smashed it against the wall.
In a moment, the ceramic cup shattered to pieces in his hand.
Bright red blood spread through his grip, and Pei Huai felt his mind clearer than before.
"Even if you stripped naked in front of me, I wouldn’t react in the slightest. Let alone using such despicable tactics. Since you’ve had the audacity to plot against me, you’ll have to face the consequences."
His frosty voice resonated through the café, causing Feng Ya Meizi to shiver uncontrollably.
She had a feeling that something was slipping out of her control.
Before she could speak, Pei Huai’s hand swiped the ceramic shards towards the woman’s face.
"Ah!!!"
A scream echoed through the entire café.
Yet the door to the café remained unopened by anyone.
Pei Huai had anticipated these events and dealt with Feng Ya Meizi mercilessly.
He hadn’t wanted to take things to such extremes, but both those old fools and the woman in front of him were pushing him to the edge.
So, he couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.
Five minutes later, the screaming stopped, and a bloodied Pei Huai also exited the café’s doorway.
The people waiting at the entrance were taken aback by Pei Huai’s appearance.
Seeing him covered in blood, they hastened into the café, completely missing the fact that Pei Huai’s footsteps were unsteady as he left.
He went straight to his car and ordered the driver to take him to the hotel, where he then locked himself in his bedroom.
The pain from his pierced palm did not keep him lucid for long.
Pei Huai could only make it to the bathroom, where he submerged himself in a bath full of ice cubes.
He had his subordinates prepare ice and a detoxification agent long before he returned to the hotel.
Regaining some semblance of sanity in the icy water, he then grabbed the detoxification agent beside him and started drinking.
Afterward, Pei Huai slumped quietly in the bathtub, letting time slip by until a phone ring woke him.
Pei Huai pressed his temples, feeling a headache, and his gaze inadvertently drifted outside the window. That’s when he realized it had turned dark.
He looked at his phone and saw many missed calls.
Outside, it seemed like everything had turned into mayhem.
As he was lost in thought, his phone rang again.
It was Xia Wenyan.
Without much thought, Pei Huai answered the call.
"Hello?" his voice was hoarse.
Xia Wenyan, excited by the call being answered, said, "Brother Pei, you’re finally free. I’ve got to tell you, I visited Zhaozhao today, and I’ve prepared a huge surprise for you! Do you want to know what it is?"
The voice on the other end of the line was laden with happy intonations, and even though Pei Huai couldn’t see his face, he could imagine those peach blossom eyes filled with smiles.
Pei Huai had never longed for Xia Wenyan as much as he did in that moment.
His voice was like a burst of light in the cold, dark night, softening and warming his chilled heart.
He softly hummed in agreement, then once again leaned back into the bathtub, listening intently to Xia Wenyan’s chatter.
Xia Wenyan prattled on, and Pei Huai couldn’t help but crack a smile.
His thoughts drifted further and further away.
Until he heard, "I’m going to be a daddy," which jolted him back to reality, and he stood up abruptly from the icy bath.
"What did you say?" Pei Huai’s expression turned dark and stormy in an instant.
Anger was about to burst forth from the depths of his eyes.
Who was it?
Which woman?
Who dared to make a move on Xia Wenyan after he left the country?
And his own men hadn’t even reported this matter to him!
Those useless fools!
Just as Pei Huai was about to step out of the bathtub, his body, numbed from the long soak in the ice water, suddenly wavered, and he sat back down into the bath.
He clenched his teeth in fury, his eyes a deep black filled with crimson rage...
