After praising him, she asked Pei Jingzhou, “Do you think it’s realistic to praise you like this?”

Pei Jingzhou smiled and leaned over to kiss her. Li Xiwu raised her hand to stop him. “l still have something serious to say.”

She was here to tell Pei Jingzhou that she was going to Boyuan’s house as a guest. Besides, guests should be more self-conscious about being guests. They shouldn’t go too late. After all, she could not let everyone in the host’s family wait on an empty stomach.

However, before she could speak—

Pei Jingzhou asked her, ‘Don’t you want to ask me why Mrs. He is looking for me first?”

Li Xiwu turned around and faced Pei Jingzhou with a slightly serious expression. “It’s fine if you don’t say anything. What’s going on between Assistant Chen and Secretary Wang? That Mrs. He came to look for you. Secretary Wang and Assistant Chen even covered for you. If there’s really something between you and her, Assistant Chen and Secretary Wang have really done a great job.”

Pei Jingzhou: ‘

Pei Jingzhou could not explain. He called Chen Xin over.

At this moment, Chen Xin had just sent Xiang Wanning downstairs when he received a call from Pei Jingzhou and rushed back. As soon as Chen Xin entered, he saw Li Xiwu sitting in the middle of the sofa with her legs crossed and her arms crossed, looking like she was asking a question.

On the other hand, Mr. Pei was sitting at the side, rubbing his eyebrows with his fingertips and smiling helplessly.

Chen Xin was extremely nervous. He walked forward. “Madam, Mr. Pei.”

Pei Jingzhou removed his hand and looked up at Chen Xin. “Have you sent her away?”

Chen Xin replied, “Mrs. He drove here herself, so I didn’t send her outside.”

Pei Jingzhou turned his face away and remained silent. This made Chen Xin’s heart beat like a drum. He swallowed and knew what to say at this moment. He slowly lowered his head and explained, “Madam, that Mrs. He usually dresses more… and she always deliberately says things that make people misunderstand. I’m afraid that you’ll misunderstand when you see her coming to look for Mr. Pei.’

Li Xiwu took a deep breath and said calmly, “Assistant Chen, do you know? I wouldn’t have thought too much about it. You could have just let me in. If it affected their conversation, I would have avoided it myself. Instead, it’s easier for me to misunderstand and think too much if you stopped me from going

Chen Xin explained, “Actually, it’s because of Mrs. He’s history. She squeezed out Second Master He’s wife. It’s not honorable to begin with, but because of Young Master He, she had some interaction with Mr. Pei.”

At this point, Chen Xin paused.

Actually, those words should not have been said by a man like him. It was not appropriate, making him look like a despicable person who was discussing others behind their backs. However, there was no one else around now. If he did not explain clearly, he was afraid that Mr. Pei would not be able to pass this hurdle.

He carefully glanced at Mr. Pei’s expression and saw him frown slightly.

Chen Xin quickly continued, “Of course, there are some precedents. Even if Mrs. He successfully became the Second Madam of the He family, she usually doesn’t know her place. She secretly flirted with some married men and attracted their attention, causing disharmony in their marriage. I was also worried about this, so…

Li Xiwu said, “That’s why you stopped me from going in. Are you afraid that

Mrs. He will mislead me with a few words and affect my relationship with Fourth Brother?”

Chen Xin lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Madam. I didn’t consider this matter properly.”

Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. “You’re indeed lacking in consideration, but your starting point is not wrong.”

Chen Xin added, “Of course, Madam, if you have any conflict with Mr. Pei, the entire company will suffer.”

Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Is it that exaggerated?”

Chen Xin sweated and carefully glanced at Pei Jingzhou’s expression before daring to continue. “Madam, you don’t know, but every time you come to the company, Mr. Pei is very happy. Everyone in the company can tell, so everyone says in private that you’re Mr. Pei’s candy.”

Li Xiwu murmured, ‘EA candy.”

Chen Xin was no longer as nervous as before, and his speech became a little lighter. “Sugar can improve one’s mood. It’s a combination of physiology and psychology, and the human brain needs serotonin and adrenaline the most. Sugar can satisfy this demand of the brain immediately.”

Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou.

Pei Jingzhou supported his chin with his hand and smiled. “The employees are spreading it in private. I didn’t say that.”

Li Xiwu believed this.

Just now, Chen Xin had also said that it was discovered by the employees through reading his body language. However, Li Xiwu did not pay much attention to it. She had rarely come to Pei Jingzhou’s company before. She might only come two or three times in half a year.

After explaining clearly that there was nothing else for Chen Xin to do, Chen Xin left first.

Li Xiwu noticed that Pei Jingzhou had finished the glass of water she had drunk. She took the glass and stood up. “If I hadn’t come, you wouldn’t have been thirsty. When I came, it was as if you hadn’t drunk water for more than ten days.”

Pei Jingzhou leaned back on the sofa with a slightly lazy expression. “The water my wife drank is sweet.”

Li Xiwu said, “Stop joking.”

The corners of Pei Jingzhou’s lips curled up. When Li Xiwu poured the water over, he said, “Her name is Xiang Wanning. She’s the wife of He Wangs second uncle..
