99 Little Liar

Pei Zhi arrived on time to pick up Lin Jiao.

He found Lin Jiao and strode over to pull her into his arms. “How much did she drink?”

“Not much. About ten glasses.” Qian Yue watched them and felt that they were a good match.

She tapped her fingers on the table. When she caught the anxiety in his eyes, she raised her chin slightly to the right. “Take Lin Jiao back first.”

Pei Zhi turned to look at Pei Yilan.

Before he could speak, Qian Yue said, “Leave Yilan to me.”

“Okay.” He picked up Lin Jiao and looked at Qian Yue. “Thank you.”

His eyes were unreadable, making Qian Yue feel that their plan had been seen through.

She calmed herself down. “It’s fine.”

When the footsteps were gone, Pei Yilan, who was pretending to be asleep, opened one eye. “Did he notice it?”

“I can’t say for sure.”

“Was my acting bad?”

“Not really.” Qian Yue suspected that she was overthinking and did not dwell on it. “Do you still want to drink?”

“I can’t drink anymore.”

Pei Yilan put on her coat and followed her downstairs.

She pushed open the door of the bar, thinking that she would not be discovered by Pei Zhi who had just driven off. She even stood on her tiptoes and looked to the left and right.

Little did she know that Pei Zhi saw her sneaky actions through the rearview mirror.

He sneered and drove towards Ming Xin Mansion. He stopped at the building and looked for Lin Jiao’s door key.

Hearing the noise, Lin Jiao grabbed her seatbelt guiltily and closed her eyes even more tightly.

She waited for a long time but did not see him continue driving. Her heart was in her mouth, but she was afraid of being discovered and did not dare to move.

“Finally.” Pei Zhi took out his house key and waved it in her ear.

In an instant, the girl who pretended to be drunk opened her eyes.

Realizing that she had been deceived, Lin Jiao panicked.

She suppressed the emotions in her eyes and looked over in a daze. “Were you calling me just now?”

“Are you a little liar?”

“… No.”

“Then I wasn’t calling you.”

Pei Zhi leaned over and wrapped his arms around her waist.

He touched her flushed cheek gently. “Jiaojiao, where’s your key?”

“What key?”

“Door key.”

“I’m so sleepy.” Lin Jiao ‘didn’t understand’ him. She reached out to hug his neck and said coquettishly, “I feel uncomfortable all over my body.”

“Then what should we do?”

“It’s time to sleep.”

Pei Zhi chuckled. He turned around and drove towards the Red Maple Forest. After finding a parking spot, he carried her all the way to the 19th floor in the elevator..

When the door opened, the ‘sleepy’ Lin Jiao narrowed her eyes and looked around.

The living room was mainly grayish-white. The furnishings were simple, but they looked organized.

The floor-to-ceiling window facing the entrance had a wide view. Not only could one see the city and the CBD, but one could also see the starry night.

“I’ll go run you a bath.” Pei Zhi took out the pair of cat slippers he had prepared and placed them in front of her before entering the bathroom.

Lying on the sofa, all Lin Jiao could think of was the goal she set out to achieve.

She ran through the “knowledge” that Qian Yue had taught her. When he came with the bathrobe, she had already decided on Plan A.

“Slow down.” Pei Zhi watched as the figure flashed past his eyes.

Lin Jiao closed the door. “Wait for me in the room.”

He did not plan to sleep in the same room as her. He pushed open the door to the second bedroom and tidied it up.

Twenty minutes later, the sound of running water stopped.

Pei Zhi, who was scrolling through his Wechat messages, heard footsteps approaching. Before he could look up, half of the lights in the living room were turned off.

“Jiaojiao, why did you turn off the lights?”

“It’s too bright.”

Lin Jiao sat on his lap.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his skin.

Pei Zhi, whose body tensed up, did not move.

He felt the itch running from his right neck to his Adam’s apple. Subconsciously, he pushed her away.

“Stop it.” He held her shoulder, his gaze dark like the cloud before rain.

Lin Jiao refused to stop.

She stared at his thin lips and grabbed his collar.

Unless she achieved her goal, she didn’t seem like she was gonna back down at all.

Pei Zhi, who had never encountered such a situation, slowly fell into the trap.

When he tasted the sweetness, his eyes darkened.

This feeling was extremely addictive.

In the past, she never experienced it, so she didn’t care what it felt like. Now, when their lips touched, all she could think about was having their lips glued together forever.

“Pa ta—”

The remote control that fell to the ground broke the silence.

She calmed her breathing. “I dropped the remote control.”

“Oh.” Pei Zhi gulped.

He picked up the remote control and carried her to the side uncomfortably. “Jiaojiao, go to sleep first.”

His hoarse voice brushed past Lin Jiao’s ear, making her feel numb.

She wrapped her arms around his waist. “Together.”

“I’ll wait a little while.”

“Waiting for what?”

Pei Zhi could not answer this question.

He asked Lin Jiao to bring the cigarettes to him and slowly lit one, trying to use nicotine to suppress the desire.

The smoke rose up, making only his side profile visible.

Seeing that he had finished smoking, Lin Jiao raised her chin and kissed his earlobe. “Do you still want to wait?”
