728 A Million Times for You 90 (1/2)

”Pei Yi… just how did you end up like this? Have you gotten tired of toying with those clean virgins? I can't believe you've actually acquired a taste for filthy women like her. Your taste has really gotten from bad to worse!”

”Tian Tian! I didn't agree to see you to have you insult me,” Pei Yi snapped angrily.

The woman walked toward Pei Yi and stopped when she was about a meter's length away from him. She raised her chin and questioned, ”You're still infuriated with me, aren't you? That's why you're using such a woman to spite and insult me, right?”

”You're reading too much into things. That's not what I meant at all.”

”But it seems like it to me. You're doing all of this to show me that you'd rather tolerate being with such a woman than forgive me. Didn't you say that you were extremely intolerant toward filth? Why have you changed your mindset when it comes to her? Have you stopped being a germaphobe? You don't mind filthy women anymore?”

Exasperated beyond limits, Pei Yi hollered, ”Tian Tian, you're getting way out of hand and unruly. You're just an outsider. Who are you to interfere with my decisions? Do you really think you have the rights to tell me what to do just because I've shown you some kindness? Get off your high horse, you've overestimated yourself! Go back if there's nothing else you'd like to say. I'm very busy.”

Pei Yi was chasing her away.

Tian Tian pouted her lips. Women are not to be trifled with, for the consequences are bound to be dire once they're provoked.

Tian Tian shifted her gaze onto the bedroom door not too far away while An Xiaoning hurriedly closed it shut.

She remained still by the sofa upon hearing footsteps approaching.

Noticing that Tian Tian was running toward his bedroom, Pei Yi tried to stop her but failed to do so in time.

Tian Tian opened the door and entered the moment she caught sight of An Xiaoning.

Just as she was about to give An Xiaoning a tight slap, An Xiaoning grabbed her wrist tightly, hindering her from moving an inch. ”You don't know me at all and yet you're trying to hit me. Aren't you being unreasonable?” An Xiaoning scorned.

Pei Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he reached the door and ordered, ”Tian Tian, get out.”

An Xiaoning let go of her. To her astonishment, Tian Tian immediately kicked her in the knee.

An Xiaoning winced in pain but nonetheless rebuked, ”What a shrew. Fancy you bullying another woman when you're a woman yourself.”

Boiling with anger, Tian Tian tried to attack An Xiaoning again, only to be dragged outside by Pei Yi.

An Xiaoning bent forward to rub her aching knee. ”Just my luck,” she muttered under her breath.

It was understandable for there to be a bunch of jealous women throwing themselves at Pei Yi, given how handsome he was. She just had to get used to it.

An Xiaoning exited the room slowly, only to see Qin Guo kneeling on the ground with her head hung low. An Xiaoning could sense the deep resentment in her eyes.

An Xiaoning shot Qin Guo a dirty look relentlessly, which completely caught the other woman off guard while she continued to kneel quietly.

Pei Yi could not help but feel amused by her expression.

He did not find her obnoxious and, instead, felt like he could not wrap his head around what An Xiaoning was really like. He felt that she was sometimes as timid as a mouse and, at other times, as brave as a lion.

She was both bold and brazen, yet afraid of death.

An Xiaoning stepped forward slowly to see that he was much less upset than before. ”I'm sorry,” she apologized slowly.

”Why are you apologizing?”

”Because I put you in a spot by refusing to resign myself to fate and struggling to stay alive.”

”I'm glad you know. Are you giving up already?”

”No, no, no. I want to keep living, I don't wish to die. It's my blessing to have you as my benefactor, Master Pei. I'll be much more obedient from now on and abide by your instructions.”

I wish I could lash out at you, you unscrupulous scoundrel! she cursed in her head.

If it weren't because of him, she wouldn't have had to suffer in silence so as to stay alive.
