Shang Yu looked at the ended call, with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth: "Your subordinate is quite adorable."
She had almost killed him earlier.
So adorable, he would definitely scream loudly if strangled to death.
"What did he say?" Pei Liechuan was driving, his expression calm.
"He said he discovered a big secret." Recalling his tone, Shang Yu couldn't help but chuckle: "That someone who used to lie in the coffin is now gone."
Pei Liechuan's thin lips curved up slightly, clearly amused as well: "He's usually quite clever." But a bit slow today.
Shang Yu neither confirmed nor denied, though he didn't seem like it.
"The person lying inside was my Fifth Brother. He must have run out last night, and I don't know where he is now. I'll check the surveillance footage later."
Though it's uncertain if they could find him, since he'd been asleep for three thousand years, it's like he's been reborn several lifetimes, so his face would probably have changed.
She might not be able to recognize him either—
"If Huo Qi is still curious about what those words mean, you can just tell him."
"The words written on the coffin board were: 'Whoever digs my grave shall be my dog.'"
Pei Liechuan: "..........."
"Those Werewolves were killed by him, probably because they were too noisy and woke him up."
Pei Liechuan drove on: "You don't need to tell him, since I'm no longer part of that team, so it has nothing to do with me."
"Tsk tsk." Shang Yu turned to look at him: "Since you have your beliefs, why do you easily say you'll abandon them?"
"Also, you came quite quickly today."
He said it had nothing to do with him, but who knows why he retired. His heart must prioritize the nation's interests.
Pei Liechuan looked ahead: "The nation used to be my belief, my direction."
"Now I'm just an ordinary person, and my only direction might just be the person beside me."
He reached out and scratched her palm, then withdrew his hand to continue driving.
Shang Yu stared at his profile, not believing a man could like a woman so quickly.
Especially someone like Pei Liechuan, who, having attained his position, must not be simple.
Among humans, he's of the outstanding kind. Why would he randomly take a liking to her?
Could her bite have truly poisoned him?
She could confirm she didn't have that ability.
Of course, that's just what she thought.
Since she'd never bitten anyone else.
She just felt Pei Liechuan smelled nice. Could it be...
That his attraction to her, like her attraction to him, was inexplicable?
She liked his body, while he liked all of her.
Shang Yu looked out the window, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "So Mr. Pei, what shall we eat?"
"Let's eat something ordinary."
"Alright."
Either way, she felt it was all fine.
Pei Liechuan drove, taking her to a private kitchen, decorated like an ordinary home.
Pei Liechuan parked the car, and Shang Yu got out. He reached out to hold her hand, and she placed hers in his palm, the two of them like a couple who had been together for many years.
He pushed open the door, and someone immediately greeted them: "Welcome."
Pei Liechuan handed over a card, and the person immediately smiled: "Mr. Pei, this way please."
"Looks like you don't come here often." Shang Yu noticed the server didn't recognize him.
Pei Liechuan nodded: "This is my first time here, but I'll come frequently from now on."
Shang Yu nodded. Previously, when he was in the army, he didn't have opportunities to go out for meals.
Now that he's a businessman, he'll start networking, so he'll definitely come here often.
