The Marriage Partner Is The Villain Boss Chapter 18

Chapter 18

It was getting slightly brighter, and Xu Zhiyi took the woman’s car to the research institute.She slept well last night. It was the first night since she returned home that the window was filled with daylight when she opened her eyes.

Before opening the car door, she did not refuse the other party’s hug, so that Pei Qingyan went to great lengths to draw a light blush on her neck.

Even the elegant sandalwood fragrance clung to the tips of her hair, following her like a shadow.

“I’ll meet you in the office tonight.”

Feeling a little embarrassed by the woman’s direct gaze, Xu Zhiyi lifted up his collar helplessly and whispered.

She didn’t hear what Pei Qingyan answered clearly. She only remembered the lingering warmth on her face when she got off the car.

The heat gradually subsided when I sat at my desk.Xu Zhiyi drank less than half a glass of water and forced himself to focus on the documents in front of him.

But not long after, a slight noise came from the side.

“Did I bother you? Sorry.”

Girls with baby faces seem more like students.Seeing Xu Zhiyi’s confused expression, she took the initiative to reach out and said, “Teacher Xu, right? I’ve long admired you. My name is Qian Hui, you can just call me Xiaohui. I’m currently being sent by Professor Zhang to take over Zhou Bo’s work.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Xu Zhiyi stretched out his hand and shook it.Unexpectedly, Qian Hui’s next sentence made her expression slightly change:

“The ring is so beautiful. Is Teacher Xu married?”

Because he was going to Pei Qingyan’s company tonight, Xu Zhiyi hesitated before going out, and finally put on the diamond ring given by him.

She thought that Pei Qingyan might be happier if this was the case.

However, now that she was asked about “marriage” so bluntly, she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed and hesitant – could her relationship with Pei Qingyan be summed up in these two simple words?

“…Hmm.”

She didn’t deny it.

Fortunately, Qian Hui is also a good person.Seeing that she didn’t want to talk more, she quickly changed the topic.

…

The day passed quickly.

Before Xu Zhiyi left, he gave a few more instructions to the students.Yin Rui is a very hard-working girl who has great enthusiasm for research topics and is also extremely talented.After getting along with her, she inevitably developed a love for talents.

By the time I got home after shopping for groceries, it was already half past six.

“Are you still in the meeting?”

She typed a few words, deleted them hastily, and changed them to:

“I may arrive a little later. You should eat something first if you are hungry.”

My thoughts seemed to fly away with the news.While chopping vegetables, she always glanced at the chat box with Pei Qingyan.

For a moment, she was a little unsure whether this was considered an “interference”, especially when the other party was so busy.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Short sentences, with a meticulous period at the end.Xu Zhiyi curved the corners of her lips, and even imagined a woman working seriously in front of the computer with a sullen face.

I wonder what kind of expression Pei Qingyan replied to her?

Serious?Or…smiling slightly?

Seeing his thoughts drifting further and further away, Xu Zhiyi pressed his temples and turned the fish over in the pot.

Almost done.She belatedly started looking for the lunch box.

…

At eight o’clock sharp, Xu Zhiyi came downstairs to the office building.The entire building is brightly lit, and it’s almost impossible to find an office with the lights turned off.

She took a deep breath and walked straight inside.

“Hello, do you have an appointment?”

“I’m looking for Mr. Pei.” Xu Zhiyi paused and said softly, “I have an appointment.”

She never liked this kind of office building.

When she was a child, her parents would sometimes think of her daughter on a whim, so they would bring her to a place like this, and then randomly choose an assistant to take care of her, while they themselves would be the hands-on shopkeepers.No matter what she did, she felt uncomfortable with the many pairs of eyes staring at her and the faint whispers in her ears.

Gradually, Xu Zhiyi also stayed away from this kind of workplace unless there was a reason why he had to come.

“You’ve been waiting for a long time, please come this way.”

After making a call at the front desk, he hurriedly put on a respectful smile and led her to the elevator.

“Thank you.”

Xu Zhiyi nodded slightly and followed with the lunch box in hand.She was concerned that the occasion couldn’t be too casual, so she put an opaque handbag on the outside so that no one could see what was inside.

“This elevator goes straight to the top floor. Going forward is President Pei’s office.”

The elevator door slowly closed, and the bright light allowed Xu Zhiyi to see clearly her face reflected in the mirror – more vibrant than usual.To be precise, the uneasiness between her brows was so obvious.

Are…nervous?

Xu Zhiyi blinked and looked down at the diamond ring on her ring finger.

It’s actually pretty good-looking.

After staring for a long time, her heart beat faster for no reason.
