In any case, those who had provoked him had a tragic outcome.

Pei Jiao observed Wei Yu’s reaction and saw that his face was tense. Although he did not say anything, his aura was still very fierce. She whispered, “Can you forgive me? I won’t do it again.”

Wei Yu let go of her and took half a step back, putting distance between them. “Speak properly.

Pei Jiao frowned and said in a low voice, “I’m talking nicely.”

Wei Yu glanced at her. “When can you speak?”

Pei Jiao stammered, “A-a few days.”

Wei Yu did not intend to let her brush it off. He continued to ask, “How long are a few days?”

Pei Jiao bit her lower lip and looked at him awkwardly. Such a gaze was too innocent. In addition, Pei Jiao had an extremely beautiful face, and her eyes were clear and filled with innocence. Once she gave in and pretended to be obedient, just a look from her could easily make people want to protect her.

Wei Yu’s breathing became a little chaotic. He quickly turned his face away from him. “Go back with Ji He first. I’ll come back to interrogate you tonight when I’m done.” With that, Wei Yu looked at Ji He and reminded him word by word, “Look after her.’

Ji He quickly nodded. “Young Master, I’ll definitely take good care of her.” He quickly came forward and tugged at Pei Jiao’s sleeve. “Let’s go back first. Some bad luck can’t be touched.’

Wei Yu lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on the action of Ji He pulling Pei Jiao’s sleeve. Ji He sensed a cold gaze piercing over. When he saw that it was Young Master looking at him, he immediately retracted his hand.

At first, Ji He thought it was his imagination, but the young master looked away after realizing that he had retracted his hand.

What’s going on? Why was he suddenly so scary?

Pei Jiao did not leave. She was holding back her anger and felt very uncomfortable, but she could only hold it in.

She took a deep breath and composed herself. Before she left, she took out a persimmon from her pocket. Seeing that it had been crushed a little, she changed to another persimmon to make sure it was not crushed. Then, she handed it to Wei Yue “Here you go.”

Wei Yu glanced at her with an inexplicable gaze. Pei Jiao said, “This is a persimmon I picked on the tree just now. I’ll give you one.”

Wei Yu did not reach out his hand. He was extremely cold and looked like he could not be curried favor.

Pei Jiao gritted her teeth and forced it on him. “It’s for you.” After stuffing the persimmons into Wei Yu t s hands, Pei Jiao turned around and left. She walked especially quickly, and Ji He could only jog to keep up with her.

Wei Yu stared at Pei Jiao’s departing figure for a long time. He didn’t look away until he couldn’t see her. He looked down at the persimmon in his hand and quickly fell into deep thought again.

At night, Wen Qiong came to see Pei Jiao. The moment she entered, she asked worriedly, “l heard that Wei Yu scolded you this morning?”

Pei Jiao sat cross-legged on the sofa and handed Wen Qiong a washed apple.

“Who did you hear that from?”

“Ah, you really could speak.” Wen Qiong had come to confirm if Pei Jiao could really speak. Now that she was sure, she was very happy. “After knowing you for so long, I finally hear your voice.” With that, Wen Qiong put the apple back.

“l heard it from Ji He.”

Pei Jiao did not say anything and silently bit the apple in her hand.

Wen Qiong suddenly leaned closer to Pei Jiao and asked her gently, “You can speak now. Can you tell me your name?”

Pei Jiao turned to look at Wen Qiong. After looking at each other for a moment, she said, “Fei Yi.’

“Fei Yi? What a nice name.” Wen Qiong was very happy that Pei Jiao was willing to tell her her name. However, she asked again, “Is your surname Fei?”

Pei Jiao repeated, “Fei Yi.”

Wen Qiong said, “It’s rare to see a surname like Fei. This surname plus the name after it is Fei Yi. Yes, it’s the best name I’ve ever heard.’

Pei Jiao felt a little guilty and did not dare to look into Wen Qiongs eyes. She laughed dryly. “My mother gave it to me.”

Wen Qiong praised, “Your mother is good at naming.”

Pei Jiao said, “Perhaps.”

Knock knock knock –

There was a knock on the door and Wen Qiong immediately stood up. “Wei Yu should be back. He’s not far behind me.’

Pei Jiao was about to get up and open the door when Wen Qiong placed her hand on her shoulder. “Sit down. I’ll open it.”

Pei Jiao nodded. Wen Qiong went over and opened the door. Seeing that Wei

Yu was holding a lunch box, she asked, “Did you bring dinner for Fei Yi?”

Wei Yu glanced around the room casually and then looked at Wen Qiong. “Fei Yi?”

Wen Qiong smiled and said, “Her name.” Wei Yu’s lips twitched. “That surname is rare.”

“It’s as rare as your surname,” Wen Qiong said.

The surname Wei was one in a hundred thousand people. Fei was the same. They were all rare surnames. After Wei Yu entered, Wen Qiong closed the door and walked in. “Look, even your surnames are so compatible.”

Wei Yu’s gaze landed on Pei Jiao. At that moment, she was looking up at him as he entered. He did not restrain his voice, as if he was deliberately saying it for Pei Jiao to hear. “It’s not whatever she says. Perhaps these two words are fake.”

Pei Jiao heard Wei Yu’s words. She knew it was aimed at her, but she wasn’t angry. She said, “That’s my name. If it’s fake, I will be hit by a car when I go out. ”

Wei Yu’s expression turned ugly. “Don’t you know that such words are unlucky?”

“l know.” Pei Jiao threw the apple core into the trash can. “It’s precisely because I know that I dare to swear a poisonous oath. Otherwise, how could you believe me?”

Wei Yu placed the lunch box on the coffee table and looked down at her. “It’s my business whether I believe it or not.”

Pei Jiao said, “Then it’s my business whether I get hit by a car when I go out.”

“Shut up.” Wei Yu was displeased and scolded her angrily. “Don’t say such unlucky words again.”

Pei Jiao puffed out her cheeks. “You even have to control my words.”

Wen Qiong was very embarrassed at the side. It seemed that Wei Yu had no intention of leaving immediately. Wen Qiong could only leave first to avoid it being inappropriate to stay here. Before she left, she said to Pei Jiao, “Hurry up and eat. I’ll go back first.”

Pei Jiao nodded. “Oh.”

After Wen Qiong left, she did not forget to close the door considerately. Only Pei Jiao and Wei Yu were left in the room. One stood and the other sat. One was domineering, and the other was casual.

Pei Jiao was the first to break the silence. “l ate an apple just now. 1 can’t eat that meal anymore.”

Wei Yu didn’t care if she wanted to eat or not. He only asked her, “Is your name really Fei Yi?”

“Yes.” Pei Jiao nodded.

Wei Yu stared at her for a few seconds. “The food is hot. It’s up to you to eat or not.” With that, he turned and left.

Pei Jiao stopped him. “Hey—

Wei Yu stopped in his tracks and asked sideways, “What else?”

Pei Jiao bit her lip and asked softly, “Didn’t you say that you would come back and eat with me tonight?”

Wei Yu: “I’ve eaten.”

Pei Jiao added, “You even said that you would interrogate me tonight.”

Wei Yu said, “We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

He was about to leave when Pei Jiao stopped him again and asked, “Is that persimmon… sweet?”

Wei Yu closed his eyes and finally replied with one word: “Sweet..”
