MFIMM Chapter 56

Suspicion

Suspicion

What do you mean by “I’m sorry”?

Lin Xi threw his phone away, his face turning green with anger.

Lin Xi: I’m not going back.

Pei: The company resumes normal operations tomorrow.

Lin Xi: Just deduct it from my salary.

Pei: That’s not what I meant.

Lin Xi turned off his phone, out of sight, out of mind.

The messages from Pei Jiashu disappeared without a trace. He pressed his temples, the watch on his wrist emitting a faint glow.

The numbers on it had jumped to 1100.

The watch should have reset to zero this month, but now it had soared to 1100. Even if they slept together every day during the estrus period, it should only be around 160.

What exactly happened during the estrus period?

Pei Jiashu had no memory at all, and Lin Xi kept avoiding him. Could it be that he lost control and did something he shouldn’t have?

The only thing he was sure of was that he hadn’t marked Lin Xi, because he couldn’t feel the connection between an alpha and omega.

The company was starting work tomorrow, and he had so many tasks piled up waiting for him. Pei Jiashu forced himself to focus on work and not think about Pei Jiashu.

But some scenes kept popping up in his mind, flashing by so quickly that he couldn’t grasp them.

Although Lin Xi said he wouldn’t go home in a fit of pique, he still had to go to the company. He got up early in the morning and took a car for more than an hour to get to the office.

First, there was a lengthy meeting. Qi Yile originally called all the anchors under him to conduct data analysis and find directions for the new year’s account operation.

But unexpectedly, Pei Jiashu, who was so busy that he couldn’t even see anyone, actually came to listen in on their meeting.

As soon as Pei Jiashu arrived, they automatically gave him the main seat. Pei Jiashu didn’t say a word, just listened quietly.

Lin Xi guessed that he didn’t even recognize these anchors under him.

When it was Lin Xi’s turn, Qi Yile praised him first. After all, Lin Xi was someone Pei Jiashu personally signed, and he couldn’t let Pei Jiashu lose face.

“Lin Xi finally found his direction at the end of the year. Just one video can gain over ten thousand fans, which is not bad. Let’s continue to develop in this direction this year.”

“Okay, Brother Qi.” Lin Xi responded. His gaze inevitably met Pei Jiashu’s in the main seat. Pei Jiashu was also looking at him.

Lin Xi glared at him and withdrew his gaze.

Pei Jiashu’s face didn’t show anything.

As soon as the meeting ended, Lin Xi wanted to escape, but he was still caught by someone. Qi Yile said to him, “Lin Xi, stay behind.”

“Okay.” Lin Xi could only agree.

Sure enough, after everyone left, Qi Yile also went out, leaving only Pei Jiashu and Lin Xi.

Whenever Lin Xi looked at Pei Jiashu, he would think of those two days of drunken life and death. It was clearly only a dozen days ago, but it felt like a lifetime.

He avoided Pei Jiashu’s gaze. “What do you want?”

Pei Jiashu stood up from his chair and walked to Lin Xi’s side. Lin Xi resisted him a little. His body trembled slightly after Pei Jiashu walked over.

Pei Jiashu’s eyes gradually darkened, and his steps stopped when he was about to approach Lin Xi.

“It’s nothing. Your home is a bit far from the company. Why don’t you come back and live here? If you really don’t want to live with me, I have another apartment nearby.”

He tried to lower his voice and speak to Lin Xi in what he thought was the gentlest voice.

Lin Xi’s reaction was even greater. He raised his head and glared at him. “You… so you just want me to stay far away?”

“Then let’s just get a divorce. You might as well terminate the contract with me. I promise to stay as far away from you as possible!”

His body trembled slightly because his emotions were too intense.

Pei Jiashu raised his hand, wanting to comfort Lin Xi, but he was afraid of stimulating Lin Xi even more, so he could only leave it hanging in the air.

“That’s not what I meant.” Pei Jiashu said awkwardly. He could be eloquent in front of clients, but at this moment, he couldn’t say a word.

“You are!” Lin Xi glared at Pei Jiashu. “Get out of here. Don’t touch me casually at the company.”

Lin Xi shook off Pei Jiashu’s hand that was suspended in the air and slammed the door open and walked out. He ignored the subtle gazes of the people around him, walked straight to the elevator entrance, and left the company.

After leaving the company, he couldn’t find any place to go. He didn’t want to go home, either home.

Lin Xi stopped at a street corner coffee shop, walked into the coffee shop, and found a corner to stay quietly.

The anger just now gradually dissipated, and Lin Xi lay on the table, feeling a little aggrieved.

During those two days, Pei Jiashu had to hug him no matter what he did, as if they were stuck with dog skin plaster. Whenever he made any move, Pei Jiashu would look at him immediately, afraid that he would leave.

But now that he had run out of the company, he didn’t come to find him.

“Boss, Mr. Lin went to the coffee shop downstairs. You don’t have to worry.” Assistant Song stood in front of Pei Jiashu and said to Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu pressed his throbbing forehead. “Okay, find someone to follow him, not too close, don’t let anything happen to him.”

“Yes, boss.”

Assistant Song looked at Pei Jiashu hesitantly, but he couldn’t interfere in the boss’s personal feelings, so he could only silently do his job.

Returning to his workstation, Assistant Song suddenly realized that although he couldn’t care about the boss, he could care about Lin Xi.

So he picked up his phone and found Lin Xi’s WeChat.

Assistant Song: Mr. Lin, I just saw you running out of the meeting room. Did something happen?

Lin Xi: If it’s for Pei Jiashu, then don’t ask. Let him ask me himself.

Assistant Song: I’m just concerned about you as your friend and fan.

Lin Xi: It’s okay, Assistant Song. I’m just a little irritable.

Assistant Song: You can tell me anything.

Lin Xi looked at Assistant Song’s WeChat and suddenly thought that this person was his top supporter. It was unusual for the top supporter to suddenly care about him.

Lin Xi, who couldn’t hide anything, couldn’t help but ask Assistant Song.

“Assistant Song, are you Jiashu from my live stream?”

“Huh?” Assistant Song’s phone slammed on the table, making a loud noise in the empty top floor. Even Pei Jiashu, who was upset in the office, couldn’t help but glance at him.

Assistant Song took back his phone and timidly continued to type on his phone.

“This… Why do you think I’m Jiashu?”

Lin Xi told him everything about discovering that the top supporter and Assistant Song had the same home address. Assistant Song quickly understood what had happened.

It turned out that he had taken a big hit for their boss.

If it was a bad hit, Assistant Song would have taken it, but he was actually asked to take this kind of hit. No wonder Mr. Lin was arguing with him every day.

Assistant Song slandered in his heart.

Pei Jiashu in the office suddenly sneezed three times in a row.

Assistant Song: It should be a coincidence, right? After all, I’m really not Jiashu.

Lin Xi: Really not you?

Assistant Song: Picture.jpg

Lin Xi looked at the picture Assistant Song sent him. It was a screenshot of the personal homepage of the live streaming software. The ID was indeed not Jiashu, but it was also someone who had been with him in Lin Xi’s live stream for a long time.

Lin Xi: So this person is you. Assistant Song, you’ve been following me for so long.

Assistant Song: (Adjusting his glasses) I’ve noticed you for a long time.

Lin Xi: Then if you’re not Jiashu, why are the address and phone number yours?

Assistant Song: I don’t know… It should be someone who knows my address and phone number using my information.

Assistant Song looked at the phone screen. He had already hinted so clearly. Lin Xi’s mind should have turned and discovered it, after all, he was Pei Jiashu’s personal assistant!

But Lin Xi obviously wasn’t in the mood to turn his mind now.

Lin Xi: Assistant Song, do you know if there are any quiet bars nearby?

Assistant Song: I do know a few stores with a pretty good environment. I’ll send them to you.

Assistant Song: Location ×3

Lin Xi: Thank you

Assistant Song’s mind was spinning rapidly. Lin Xi should be upset and want to go to a bar to drink. He only needed to tell Pei Jiashu a little later, wait for Lin Xi to get drunk, and then Pei Jiashu would pick up Lin Xi, and then Lin Xi would tell the truth after drinking, and the two would reconcile.

Assistant Song thought beautifully.

Lin Xi always went to one of the bars. He casually ordered something to pad his stomach and sat quietly in the corner dozing off.

There were still few people in the bar in the afternoon, and it was a bit deserted.

But Lin Xi was enjoying the leisure. He was afraid of getting drunk, so he only ordered a few cocktails. After drinking a few glasses, his mind was a little dizzy.

But his consciousness was still clear. He took out his phone and played Happy Eliminate.

When he was sleepy, he lay on the table and squinted for a while. When he woke up again, there were gradually more people in the bar.

“Wow, you’re so pretty. Why are you here alone?”

The bar singer was singing love songs leisurely on stage. Someone came over to chat with Lin Xi.

Lin Xi pushed away the wine in his hand. “I’m already married. Don’t bother me.”

“You…” The man was rejected and was a little annoyed.

Lin Xi didn’t care about him. He took out his phone and looked at it. It was already seven o’clock in the evening, and Pei Jiashu hadn’t even sent him a message, nor had he asked him where he was going to sleep tonight.

“Give me a few more drinks.”

Lin Xi silently drank sullen wine. Fortunately, the environment here was really good, and there were no alphas who released pheromones casually.

But Lin Xi couldn’t help but think, if he was allergic now, would Pei Jiashu immediately appear in front of him?

He took another sip of wine.

The scene in front of him gradually became a little illusory, and the figures of various people overlapped. He held another glass in his hand and was about to pour it down.

Just then, someone grabbed his hand.

“Don’t drink anymore.”

Lin Xi felt that this voice was a bit familiar. He squinted his eyes, trying to focus these scattered afterimages together. After seeing Pei Jiashu’s face, he suddenly pushed Pei Jiashu away.

“Get out of here. I don’t want you.”

The alpha who had been waiting for an opportunity to act next to him stood in front of Lin Xi at this time. “Who are you? Didn’t you hear him tell you to get out of here?”

Pei Jiashu suppressed his anger. “He is my legal wife. Do you have any objections?”

He pushed away the alpha, walked to the booth, and forcibly picked up Lin Xi. Lin Xi fluttered his feet, unwilling to let him hug him.

“Be good, Lin Xi.”

Hearing these words, Lin Xi became inexplicably quiet, buried his face in Pei Jiashu’s arms, sniffing the faint mint scent on his body.

“I’m not allergic.”

He said a word without rhyme or reason.

Pei Jiashu cocked his ears, listening to Lin Xi, not understanding. He gave a light “hmm”.

Lin Xi grabbed his collar. “I’m not allergic. Why did you come?”
