1305 I Only Want You 3 (1/2)
Pei Yi looked at her and said, ”An Xiaoning, I genuinely admire you, and I'd like to be friends with you. The type of friends who can meet up often. Are you willing to be my friend?”
An Xiaoning stood up and took a seat on the chair beside his desk. Resting her chin in her hand, she said, ”You're the chieftain of the DK Organization while I'm the daughter of the First Lady of S Nation. Don't you think others will find us to be in cahoots for the sake of our own interests if we were to become friends?”
”So you… don't agree to it?”
An Xiaoning looked at him and said, ”Pei Yi, I admire you too, and you're very charming as well. I'm serious. I'm not just praising you because you gave me a compliment. You're very capable, but I have a principle that I strictly adhere to. Do you know what it is?”
”What is it?”
”I will never be friends with terrorists, even if they've saved me before. I'm not being prejudiced, but there are lots of wolves in sheep's clothing out there. For example, the Donggong family. Pei Yi, my greatest wish is for there to be world peace. Although I know that there will never be a day that my wish will come true, I don't want there to be anymore chaos in this world. Besides, I can't afford to be accused and labeled as an accomplice of the DK Organization. My parents are the President and the First Lady. I can't give them any pressure because things are going to get messy and complicated if anyone makes an issue out of our friendship.”
Pei Yi nodded and said, ”I understand your concerns.”
”If, I'm just saying if, one day you ever leave the DK Organization, I reckon we could be very good friends. However, it's better that we maintain the status quo for now.”
She thought that he would pledge to never leave the DK Organization. To her surprise, he said, ”Who knows what might happen in the future?”
After lunch, Pei Yi left to handle some matters. Thus, An Xiaoning and Wu Lianzhi were left alone in the house where there were surveillance cameras all around. Although they were in Pei Yi's study, they wouldn't touch his things unnecessarily.
Qin Guo was extremely disgruntled to see that they were having a leisurely game of cards while she still had to serve them some drinks.
”What are you waiting for? Go bring me some cake. I'd like to eat cake.”
Qin Guo retorted, ”Ms. An, do you take this place to be your home?”
”Are you going to serve me or not?”
Qin Guo turned around to exit. She muttered under her breath, ”I hope the cake makes you obese.” After serving the cake, Qin Guo snapped, ”I have no idea what Ancestor brought you back for. All you do is idle about and eat.”
”You'll have to ask your ancestor, then. How would I know? Ms. Qin, if you're bored, you may join us for a game of cards,” An Xiaoning said with a smile.
Qin Guo remained silent.
”What's wrong? Don't you want to play?”
”If Ancestor finds out…”
”It's alright, I'll explain it to him. You don't have anything better to do anyway.”
Upon hearing her words, Qin Guo said proudly, ”Alright, since you've invited me, I shall play a few rounds with you guys.”
An Xiaoning said in her head, Suit yourself, I even gave you an out…
Forget it, I'm on someone else's territory anyway.
During the game, Qin Guo added, ”Ms. An, do you fancy Ancestor?”
”Are you hoping to hear that I fancy him?”
”I'm asking you, do you fancy him?”
”Why must I tell you what I'm really thinking about?”
Qin Guo was at a loss for words. Pouting her lips, she said, ”If you don't like Ancestor, you'd better not seduce him. He may seem cold and nonchalant on the surface, but he's actually very serious when it comes to relationships.”
”Why would I seduce him? Kid, you're reading too much into things. There's no romance between us.”
Qin Guo asked agitatedly, ”Really? Really?”
”Do you fancy him?”
Qin Guo said in denial, ”Of course not. We're in no place to harbor designs on Ancestor.”
”That's true. I don't think he'll be interested in you.”
Qin Guo was speechless…
An Xiaoning continued, ”I think he'll be interested in two types of women.”
