Chapter 701: I Regretted Not Offending You Even More
After Xu Yao, Xing Chen, and everyone else left, Lin Yan and Pei Yucheng were the only ones left in the room.
Lin Yan, who had finally calmed down, scratched her head awkwardly. “Ahem... Mr. Pei, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to blabber just now. I shouldn’t have interfered...”
What had possessed her and made her declare that she was the future Mrs. Pei?
That was absurd!
When Pei Yucheng heard her, his eyes roved over the girl languidly. “Blabber? Miss Lin, which words are you referring to?”
Which words?
She was certainly referring to calling herself the future Mrs. Pei!
However, as Lin Yan was about to clarify, she sensed that the atmosphere had turned cold.
What was going on?
As she felt a survival instinct, Lin Yan swallowed the words that she wanted to say. She then cautiously waved her hands and quipped, “Errr... I... Of course, I meant every word I said... I was just worried... that I meddled in your affairs...”
The dark shadow in Pei Yucheng’s eyes dimmed and disappeared as though it had never existed. With a tiny smile, he replied, “Miss Lin, you don’t have to worry. I already said that your reason was sufficient.”
Lin Yan was speechless...
She had assumed that Pei Yucheng had replied that way because others had been around earlier.
What about now?
Lin Yan’s mind was in a whirl.
She assumed that Pei Yucheng hadn’t lost interest in her as of yet.
She had been doing her best to keep up the pretense of being his girlfriend.
Wasn’t that enough?
Even if she hadn’t fully and thoroughly understood the Pei Family, she was nevertheless aware of what being Mrs. Pei meant.
Pei Yucheng replied suddenly before Lin Yan could ponder this any further. “Sorry... about earlier. I didn’t mean to offend you.”
Lin Yan was taken aback. “Huh? What?”
How had he offended her?
Pei Yucheng’s eyes landed on her lips quietly.
At that moment, Lin Yan felt a lingering sensation of the earlier invasion...
She noticed Pei Yucheng’s gaze and finally understood what he meant. She coughed and choked violently. “No... It was nothing! It’s fine! It was my fault for barging in and interrupting your nap!”
Pei Yucheng was very vigilant usually and had been in a semi-asleep state earlier.
To prove that she wasn’t bothered by it, Lin Yan added, “We’re a couple, so it’s natural for that to happen! Why should you apologize for that? You didn’t offend me at all! Not at all! You were honorable and there was certainly nothing wrong with it!”
Pei Yucheng chuckled as amusement flitted across his eyes. “Really? In that case, I feel a little regret.”
Lin Yan quipped, “Huh? What are you regretting?”
Pei Yucheng replied, “I should have offended you even more.”
Lin Yan choked and coughed hard.
His confession terrified the wits out of her and made her want to slap herself! What a blabbermouth she was!
Pei Yucheng wiped the amused smile off his face. “Do you have anything else to ask me?”
Lin Yan contemplated before she shook her head. “I only hope that my rashness hasn’t affected you in any way... After all, it seems that Miss Rong is very important...”
Pei Yucheng nodded thoughtfully. “Yeah, she is very important.”
Lin Yan started getting worried when the man pressed on slowly. “But nothing is more important than the future Mrs. Pei.”
Lin Yan was speechless...
He had broken the rules!
