Chapter 421: Don't make trouble for your boss
Chapter 421 Don’t make trouble for the boss
Chu Chen allowed her to scold her without saying anything back. His expression remained very indifferent, and he obviously didn't take it to heart.
Xia Ling became even more angry.
The carriage was very quiet. The assistant and makeup artist were silent and did not dare to make a sound.
Xia Ling glared at Chu Chen and gritted her teeth: "Okay... you're fine. Where is Pei Ziheng now?" She suddenly wanted to go to him and ask him why he allowed such chaos to spread outside. The emperor's public opinion monitoring department was just freeloaders. What? Going to bed with someone? Those people were not worthy of desecrating the love between her and Li Lei with such malice.
Chu Chen said: "The boss is having a very important meeting at the company, and it will be held until very late."
Xia Ling told the driver: "Go to the company."
Chu Chen: "Miss Ye, I don't recommend that you disturb him at this time."
Xia Ling was angry again: "When do I go to find him and do I need your approval?!"
"I don't dare," Chu Chen lowered his eyebrows, but did not hesitate to speak, "Every meeting recently will affect the life and death of the emperor. Miss Ye, as long as you still have a little conscience, please be considerate to the boss. It’s not easy, don’t cause trouble for him at this time.”
"Conscience?" She laughed angrily, "Who has no conscience first?!" Let her and Li Lei be torn apart!
Chu Chen lowered his eyelids and refused to answer.
“Go to the company!” Xia Ling shouted to the driver.
The driver glanced at Chu Chen in the rearview mirror with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chu..."
“Send Miss Ye home.” Chu Chen said.
The driver had already received instructions from Pei Ziheng a long time ago to listen to Mr. Chu when Miss Ye and Mr. Chu have differences of opinion. When given the order, he turned the steering wheel and drove in the direction of the villa.
Xia Ling was so angry that she spoke volubly: "Chu Chen, don't go too far! Are you afraid that if I disturb your master, he will collapse, and you will become a lost dog?!"
He still lowered his eyelids slightly and remained silent, like an old monk in meditation.
The car fell into silence again. Such a sensitive topic made the assistant and makeup artist on pins and needles. They all made excuses and got out of the car.
In the nanny's car, apart from the driver, Chu Chen and her were the only two people left.
The driver is also Pei Ziheng's confidant, so Chu Chen doesn't shy away from talking: "Miss Ye, you don't know that the boss has not had an easy life over the years."
Xia Ling was slightly startled, then sneered: "Who do you think has it easy?"
"The boss handles many things by himself and never lets me tell you." He ignored her sarcasm and continued talking on his own, "He is always like this and doesn't let the people he likes worry about."
the person I like…
Her heart tightened, and there was a slight pain in the deepest part of her heart.
After a moment, she still sneered: "Like? He just treats me as a phantom." She still doesn't understand what Pei Ziheng loves. It's probably the stunning Xia Ling in her previous life, so she can be cruel in this life. After torturing her, her attitude changed drastically after learning that she was Xia Ling herself.
Chu Chen glanced at her. "You and Xia Ling are indeed very similar." This time, he used "you" instead of "you". "Both are equally naive and unreasonable."
Xia Ling was stunned for a moment before she remembered to retort: "You are naive, your whole family is naive and unreasonable!" She said fiercely, "You scold us like this, aren't you afraid that I will file a complaint with your master?!"
He said calmly: "Besides complaining, what else can you do?"
Xia Ling choked and suddenly realized that he was right. She actually knew nothing and was helpless when encountering a slightly bigger trouble. She suddenly felt useless, watching bad things happen one after another but unable to change them. Her expression darkened. “Don’t cause trouble to the boss.” Chu Chen said.
Xia Ling was silent.
In the carriage, Chu Chen was wearing a dark gray suit, his deep eyes hidden in the shadows, his face cold and hateful. He dutifully dropped her off at the door of his house before leaving.
At night, Xia Ling had insomnia.
At one o'clock in the morning, Pei Ziheng came back dressed in starlight.
Xia Ling sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at him. She found that he was much more tired than usual, with slight wrinkles between his eyebrows and blue eyes. She suddenly felt very sad, and a dull pain spread in her heart. However, she had not forgotten the cruel and cruel things he had done to her, and she endured the pain with all her strength.
Pei Ziheng was a little surprised when he saw her: "Xiao Ling, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
He recalled that many years ago, when she was not reborn, the two of them were deeply in love, and she always liked to sit in the living room and wait for him to come home at night. However, in this life, she no longer has such a habit, and he will not be so presumptuous as to think that she will suddenly change his mind.
Xia Ling remained silent.
Pei Ziheng asked her softly: "Are you hungry? Why don't you ask Mama Zhou to make some midnight snacks?"
She watched in silence as he ordered Zhou Ma to make midnight snacks. In fact, the kitchen was already prepared. He was always busy these days, and Zhou Ma would make soup for him every night. Those soups were all Pei Ziheng's favorite flavors, and Xia Ling usually went to bed very early, so Zhou's mother had not prepared any for her.
She heard him talking to Zhou's mother: "Make a bowl of shredded chicken noodles for Xiao Ling. Shred the chicken very finely and add more chopped green onions." He always remembers what she likes to eat, even down to the details.
Not long after, the noodles were served.
Xia Ling didn’t want to eat, so Pei Ziheng said, “Eat some with me.”
She looked at his haggard face, and suddenly she didn't want to be angry with him, so she followed him to the table. Zhou Ma's cooking was very good, so the two of them ate quietly. After a while, Xia Ling was full, and Pei Ziheng added another bowl.
“You didn’t have dinner?” she couldn’t help but ask him.
“I had a simple meal with several directors during the meeting.” He said, and added, “I’m not actually hungry, but I haven’t eaten shredded chicken noodles and sea cucumber soup for a long time. They tasted good.”
What is this, an explanation?
Unexpectedly, Xia Ling thought of Chu Chen's words: The boss is always like this and never worries the people he likes.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
She raised her head and looked at him: "I don't deserve this."
"Isn't it worth it?" He knew very well that she was talking about the business war with Tianyi, but he brought up the topic lightly, "You don't need to worry about these things, I will give you and the baby a stable environment."
"You..." She hesitated, then said, "Don't get angry with Tianyi, okay?"
He glanced at her and said, "Don't you understand who is releasing Qi now?" The current situation is like a peak duel between two martial arts masters, their internal strength is already competing, and whoever gives in first will die first.
He said: "Do you think it doesn't matter if I let go, the emperor will still function?"
She was stunned by his question. He... is so powerful, isn't he?
Pei Ziheng smiled gently: "I'm very happy that you have such confidence in me." But his expression didn't look happy at all. The smile didn't reach his eyes, but there was a hint of sadness.
