Chapter 527: Forced Kiss

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Anna sat on the long fur carpet on the other side of the coffee table, staring blankly at a cactus.

Her mind was filled with Su Ji.

Pei Yuanyang squatted beside her, taking an afternoon nap.

Anna only reacted when she heard movement at the entrance. She looked over and pressed her slender and soft fingers on the cactus’s thorns.

The thorns pricked her fingers, but she did not react. Her skin was so tender, and it should have hurt.

“What happened?” Du Meilan sat in the dining room. She stopped Pei Huai from a few meters away. “I just heard the news. The person in charge has already booked a return ticket! ‘”‘

He didn’t even stay for a night and booked a flight back. His attitude was very clear.

This was the first time Du Meilan had spoken to her youngest son in such a tone since returning to the country.

She had always doted on him the most.

After putting so much effort into the project, Du Meilan was really angry when it suddenly failed.

Moreover, it happened in the hands of her youngest son, whom she was most at ease with.

Pei Huai stopped when he passed by her. His expression did not change. “You were the one who asked me to stay for lunch. Now that the deal has failed, you’re the one who’s anxious.”

Du Meilan turned to him and stopped replying halfway. “Don’t change the topic. This is not the same thing. You should know how important this is to the

Pei Corporation.”

Anna’s heart clenched. It was the first time she had seen Pei Huai being scolded by his mother. Her pricked hand subconsciously pressed into the cactus again.

Pei Huai placed one hand into his pocket. “Then do you know what their conditions were?”

Just as he asked this question, Du Meilan’s phone rang again. She glanced at the reply and her expression froze.

She didn’t know before, but now she knew.

After a few seconds of silence, Du Meilan’s expression eased a little, but overall, it was still not good.

“Pei Huai, there’s no need to be so strict in business.” She glanced at Anna calmly. “As long as it’s not written in the contract, it’s not a condition, can’t

“No,” Pei Huai interjected.

Du Meilan:

She choked, but she couldn’t think of a better way. She was blocked at both ends and was so angry that her blood pressure rose. She picked up her phone and got up to go back to her room.

“Don’t let Su Ji know that I scolded you because of this,” Du Meilan said. She was still very concerned about her image in her future daughter-in-law’s heart.

Anna’s heart skipped a beat.

This was also the first time she saw Madam Du really angry.

Pei Huai stayed where he was for a while. When the butler came over to clean up the dining table, he asked the butler to bring the blood pressure medicine to Madam Du’s room and watch her take it before leaving. The butler immediately understood. “Yes, I’ll go right away.”

“Um… ”

Pei Huai looked over at the other very soft voice. It was Anna, who had moved to his side at some point.

Anna repeatedly clenched her hands and stared at her toes. “I…is there anything I can help with.

Pei Huai looked at her disdainfully, his expression cold. “Do you think you can help us?

Anna nodded slightly.

Pei Huai asked, “who told you that?”

Realizing what he meant, Anna explained anxiously, “I-I-I was just guessing!”

She really was just guessing. Most of the things that her father and stepmother discussed would not be known to her.
