Chapter 44 - He Is Almost Heartbroken (2/2)

“I don’t want that! I really don’t want that!” Pei Zichen liked to collect the robots. All of his robots were limited editions. It was true that he could not even buy a small screw with just a thousand dollars.

“Then, do you still think that she is good? Is she a bad woman?”

“Yes, she’s bad indeed!”

“That’s for sure. I’m telling you, we need to cooperate and use all kinds of means to ruin their relationship.”

“Sure!” Pei Zichen nodded his head with a strong perseverance.

The average salary of the people from Haicheng was only three thousand dollars. To Lu Man, it was not a small amount to give two thousand dollars to Wang Yunxi on a monthly basis. But, it was just like two dollars to Wang Yunxi and Pei Zichen!

They spent quite a large amount of money in buying things.

Lu Man was slightly worried when she realized that Pei Zichen had gone to the washroom for quite a long time. She wanted to knock on the door and ask if he was alright.

But, Pei Zichen came out of the washroom right then. Lu Man’s presence scared the hell out of him. Moreover, he was discussing with his aunt on how to bully Lu Man just now. Now, she had appeared in front of him all of a sudden. He became guilty and his face was flushed. “Why are you standing here?”

“I was worried about you. You were in the washroom for quite a long time.”

“What do you have to worry about? Are you afraid that I’d fall into the toilet bowl?”

Lu Man laughed and ignored his cough.

“How long have you been standing here?” Did she overhear the conversation between his aunt and him?

“I got here just now.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Pei Zichen snorted.

“Xiao Chen, why is your face so flushed?” He looked up and she saw how red his face seemed.

He was blushing because of his guilt. Surely, Pei Zichen would never admit to that.

He appeared arrogant in front of her. “It’s none of your business!”

“Are you having a fever?” Lu Man quickly stretched out her hand and touched his forehead.

Pei Zichen pushed her hand away. “Don’t touch me!”

Disdain was written all over his face. Lu Man was hurt by his action. She retracted her hand. “I’m sorry.”

Pei Zichen never thought that she would apologize to him for his rude behavior. He was stunned.

She did not seem like a bad person to him.

But…

His aunt would never lie to him.

Pei Zichen was close to Wang Yunxi. Pei Xiuyuan rarely accompanied him. On the other hand, Wang Yunxi was always free to do whatever she wanted. So, she had accompanied Pei Zichen since he was born. They were close to each other. Surely, he had great trust in her.

“What’s wrong?” Pei Xiuyuan approached them.

Pei Zichen became nervous. He was afraid that Lu Man might report his rude behavior to his father. She would tell him that he had pushed her away.

“Nothing happened.”

Pei Zichen was rather surprised that she did not inform Pei Xiuyuan of his rude behavior.

She must be pretending, just like what his aunt had told him. She was pretending to be the nice person here!

It was time for bed.

“Xiao Chen, your mother has prepared your room for you. Go and sleep now.” Pei Xiuyuan was always emphasizing how good Lu Man was in front of Pei Zichen.

“Okay.” Pei Zichen seemed mischievous all of a sudden but he went back to his room obediently.

He went to his room.

The smile that Lu Man had on her face for the whole night suddenly disappeared.

“Manman…” Pei Xiuyuan smiled sheepishly at Lu Man.
