Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 478 - 32: The Boss and the Secretary

At that moment, Pei Ji’an was peeling crabs for Qu Fulan.

A man of elegant refinement performing such a task was a pleasing sight. He first cleansed his hands, then used scissors to cut off the eight legs of the hairy crab, removed the crab cover, and revealed the crab. Using a small spoon, he scooped out the gastric area in the center and gently extracted the crab roe encased on the outside, placing it into a bowl. Then, he trimmed away excess crab legs, mouth, and lungs with scissors. He lifted a hexagonal piece from the center of the crab body with the spoon handle and discarded it. He drizzled a bit of vinegar onto the crab body with a small spoon before placing the crab roe and crab butter before her.

While he was doing this, everyone watched, their eyes filled with indescribable envy.

Because it wasn’t the first time he did such caring things, Qu Fulan wasn’t too surprised, but he had only done it in private before, serving her in front of everyone was a first.

To be honest, the vanity of women was greatly satisfied. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

One has to admit that this man was indeed very cold in the past. When they first started dating, there were many things he didn’t understand, but as time went on, he taught himself many things.

Just as Qu Fulan was about to eat the crab, and Pei Ji’an was preparing to clean his hands, someone brought over a plate with a warm cup of ginger tea on top, and under the cup was a piece of paper.

Since Pei Ji’an needed to wash his hands, Qu Fulan took it and opened it to look.

And then she saw the words.

Pei Ji’an washed his hands with the water brought by the waiter, glanced at her, and also happened to see the words on the note, his face immediately darkened.

"Who asked you to deliver this?"

As he spoke, he took the note from Qu Fulan’s hand, clenching it in his hand to prevent a third person from seeing it.

The waiter was a bit scared and said in a trembling voice that someone asked him to deliver it, but he didn’t know who they were.

The homeroom teacher sensed that the atmosphere was off, asked what happened, and Pei Ji’an only said someone wanted to take the opportunity to meet him, a very reasonable explanation that easily convinced everyone.

Someone wanted to meet President Pei in this way; it’s normal for President Pei to be displeased.

But President Pei clearly didn’t want to pursue the matter, and so it passed.

For the rest of the banquet, President Pei continued to care for Qu Fulan as always. A rich and capable man being so considerate was indeed enviable.

Those who initially doubted President Pei’s sincerity found their thoughts wavering after witnessing these scenes.

Among them was Pan Yun, who instinctively bit her lip, for her boyfriend never treated her like that.

Because her boyfriend’s family was well-off, she always spoke to him sweetly, even when he was wrong, she was the first to give in.

She thought that rich and capable men were proud and needed to be coaxed.

But now, the scene in front of her deeply hurt her heart and her eyes.

Not only was Pan Yun’s heart pricked, Yang Zhi was even more upset, feeling a tightness in his chest and almost spewing blood.

It was he who bribed someone to send the note; nowadays, as long as you have enough money, there’s nothing you can’t do.

He thought that after President Pei saw the content on the note, if not immediately convinced, at least a seed of doubt would be planted in his heart, but it appeared that he was completely unaffected.

It shouldn’t be like this. A figure like President Pei should care a lot about a woman’s chastity.

And yet he’s still so good to Qu Fulan.

Is he pretending?

He must be pretending.

A man of this stature, even if he were angry, wouldn’t let it show, perhaps pretending to be decent in front of others, but who knows how he deals with Qu Fulan in private.

Yang Zhi thought maliciously.

Unable to accept this, due to his male pride, he couldn’t bear to see the woman he desired with a man better than himself; he wished to personally destroy her to feel at ease.

The result was seeing Qu Fulan placing something she didn’t like to eat on the other side of her bowl, and President Pei, seeing this, expressionlessly picked it up and ate it.

Ate it.

Ate it.

President Pei ate something others didn’t?!

Yang Zhi felt as if his heart was struck by lightning, overwhelmed and shocked!

Not only Yang Zhi was struck, even Qu Fulan was quite surprised. He never allowed her to be picky with food; she took advantage of today’s gathering, thinking he wouldn’t notice, and quietly set it aside, but in the end, he not only noticed, he also picked it up and ate it.

This action made Qu Fulan blush and no longer dared to be picky, otherwise, if he ate what she didn’t in front of classmates, she wouldn’t be able to bear it.

But the scene just now was already seen by many present, and for a moment everyone felt quite subtle.

Pan Yun felt indescribably suffocated, nearly going mad with jealousy and envy. She quietly left to call her boyfriend, hoping he would come, not necessarily to flaunt their love, but at least to show others she was happy too.

The result was her boyfriend saying he was too busy.

Just after speaking, a female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who are you calling? We’re a player short for mahjong."

Pan Yun: "..."

She was about to say something when her boyfriend claimed he was busy socializing and hung up.

Listening to the dial tone, Pan Yun’s fingers holding the phone turned white.

It was suffocatingly painful.

It was only after the school reunion ended that Pan Yun escaped from the hotel, only to spot Qu Fulan and President Pei walking towards her car.

It was then that Pan Yun noticed the luxury car parked on the other side of hers.

As the two approached the car, the man opened the car door for her and said, "Next time, don’t dress like this when going out."

Qu Fulan looked down, dressed in a thin coat outside and a fitted long dress inside, wondering what was inappropriate about it.

The man didn’t explain; inside the hotel with sufficient air conditioning, everyone had taken off their coats, and her overly fitted dress showed her curves beautifully, drawing much attention.

Unable to get an explanation, Qu Fulan couldn’t help but pout, thinking he controlled what she ate and drank, and even now, what she wore.

So domineering!

That said, Qu Fulan was in the midst of sweet love, so it could be considered a sweet complaint.

Finding him domineering, on the other hand, Pan Yun watching this moment, felt so envious and bitter it almost bled.

She knew men were attentive to the attire of the women they liked, not wanting them to look too attractive in front of others, fearing they’d be coveted.

Yet her boyfriend never said such things to her; at the last event, he even wanted her to dress more provocatively to show off in front of his friends...

The car hadn’t gone far when Qu Fulan was questioned by her boss.

"How do you want to deal with Yang Zhi?"

Qu Fulan paused for a second, then understood what he was referring to.

After the banquet, he investigated the source of the note. Yang Zhi, thinking himself flawless, actually left many traces. If he could use money to bribe the waiter, they could use more money. Besides, with Pei Group’s President’s position, the hotel manager would be eager to oblige, without President Pei needing to do much? He already had everything checked out.

It was Yang Zhi.

At that moment, Qu Fulan felt utterly exasperated.

Just because she rejected him, refused to date him, he wanted to slander her in front of the boss?

Qu Fulan now understood the malevolence of some men, if they can’t have it, they’ll destroy it, unwilling to see others do well.

If he’s so heartless, she won’t be benevolent either.

What’s the benefit of having a domineering CEO as a boyfriend?

It’s that "better to lose everything for a cool breeze" can be realized.
