Chapter 369 I, Pei Jin, am not a dog!
Bai Yuan's hand fell on the top of Pei Jin's head with just the right amount of force, causing Pei Jin to squint in comfort. There was also a hint of confusion in his eyes, as if he was going to make a purring sound from his throat like a large cat in the next second.
In this state, Pei Jin couldn't help but raise his head a little higher, as if he was actively rubbing the other person's palm.
But this was only for a moment. After he quickly came back to his senses, Pei Jin's face was immediately filled with an expression of anger and shame. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to restrain his instinctive urge to move forward. Then he waved away Bai Yuan's hand that was on his head.
"If you don't want to change it, then don't change it. Speak properly and don't make a move. You messed up my hair."
As he spoke, Pei Jin turned his head awkwardly and smoothed his hair twice to hide the panic on his face and the pounding heart in his chest. Bai Yuan's seemingly serious promise echoed in his ears, and he finally couldn't suppress his inner joy. The corners of his mouth rose a little bit, showing that he was in a very good mood at the moment.
Seeing how he took care of his hair, Bai Yuan took out the small mirror she always carried with her and handed it to him. "As long as you listen, I will do what I promised you."
Although she taught Pei Jin that he didn't need to care about everything and that saying one thing and doing another would contribute to family harmony, she herself still attached great importance to integrity and promises. Her identity and position also required her to keep her promises in everything, so that she could establish an unshakable prestige bit by bit.
Those in a high position must also think carefully when dealing with others and must not act on impulse.
Whether it is a fickle personality or frequent changes in one's orders, they are both taboos. People who do what they think will not only affect the company's external image, but also cause confusion among internal personnel, affect work efficiency, and even make grassroots employees lose confidence in their leaders.
Bai Yuan would never make a mistake on such a matter.
Pei Jin has been with Bai Yuan for such a long time that he has almost figured out her temperament and character. Naturally, he knows that she is a person who always keeps her word.
At this moment, he was naturally happy and proud to have received such a formal promise from her, but he was still stubborn and refused to admit it. He acted reluctantly and said:
"Obedience? What do you mean by obedient? I'm not a dog. I can't obey you!... At most, I can cooperate with you within my ability."
Knowing that Pei Jin's mouth was stronger than a welded steel door, Bai Yuan did not bother with his words. Knowing that this was his unique and awkward way of expressing himself, he smiled and responded, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Pei."
Pei Jin heard Bai Yuan calling him "Mr. Pei" too many times today, and he felt a little overwhelmed by her boiling-frog-in-warm-water attitude. He felt that he could no longer sit in the chair, so he stood up suddenly.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore. Your house is too small and I feel suffocated. I'm going to go out for a walk and come back to see you later."
Then, without caring about Bai Yuan's answer, he pushed the door and left. He walked very quickly and just looking at his back, he looked like he was fleeing in a hurry.
Bai Yuan's eyes fell on him until Pei Jin walked out the door and his figure disappeared at the door. She skillfully turned the pen in her hand again, then retracted her eyes and continued to deal with the unfinished documents at hand.
On the other side, as soon as Pei Jin walked out of the door, he felt the temperature on his face suddenly rise, so hot that it seemed to dry the blood on his face.
After walking only a few steps, Pei Jin felt himself panting heavily and a little breathless. He had to stop and lean his back against the cold wall. He raised his hand and pressed it on his chest where his heart was beating violently. While feeling the rapid and powerful vibrations coming from the palm of his hand, he slowly raised his fingers, as if trying to grab something, and tightly grasped the piece of cloth in front of his chest, making it full of wrinkles.
What is meant by "the only person I will marry is you"...
Pei Jin chewed and chewed Bai Yuan's promise, savoring it repeatedly. After his beating heart slowly calmed down, he belatedly detected a hint of sourness in it.
If you want to sound nice, you can say this kind of words to coax him!
If I hadn't always remembered that my marriage with Bai Yuan was just a contractual one, I would have been deceived by her "sweet words".
Obviously, both of them knew what was going on with this family marriage, so how could she make such words sound like the truth?
The premise of the agreement is mutual benefit. The only one who can bring benefits to Bai Yuan is the huge Pei family behind him.
It is said that "the marriage partner can only be you", but this "you" does not refer to him, Pei Jin, but the eldest master of the Pei family. It does not matter who it refers to specifically.
In other words, even if it was someone else instead of herself sitting in the office facing Bai Yuan today, as long as he was the young master of the Pei family, she would say with such a deep and serious look, "The marriage partner can only be you."
The sober, rational, and almost cruel reality is Bai Yuan's true face hidden under the disguise of elegance, calmness, and self-control.
After the throbbing in his heart completely disappeared, Pei Jin began to feel annoyed by his keen observation and understanding of Bai Yuan.
This really proves the saying that the more you know, the less happy you are.
Sometimes he even wished that his brain wouldn't be so sharp, and could slow down even a little bit...
At this time, the sky was getting darker, and the lights in the corridor were automatically lit up one by one, making the corridor exceptionally bright, as if a spotlight was shining down, making it impossible for anyone in it to hide.
Pei Jin had no intention of staying in the corridor for long. He was just about to find a place to go out for a walk. Just at this moment, Jiang Ling, who had just gone out, came back with a thick stack of files.
This is really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road. When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other. After Pei Jin saw the appearance of the person who came, the curve of his mouth suddenly drooped, and the cold light in his eyes flashed like a sharp arrow, which directly nailed Jiang Ling to the spot.
"Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei..." Jiang Ling felt Pei Jin's unfriendly gaze, and his sense of crisis instantly reached its peak. He secretly said in his heart that it was not good. He could only stop where he was and greeted him nervously, "You're leaving so soon? Why don't you sit for a while?"
These words may sound insignificant at first, but to Pei Jin at this moment, they sounded particularly harsh, as if he were being entertained as a guest by the host of the house.
Although Bai Yuan had just specifically told Pei Jin not to touch Jiang Ling, Pei Jin still walked towards him, stood domineeringly in the middle of the road, blocking his way. After forcing Jiang Ling to stop, he examined him from head to toe with a look of contempt and disdain.
When he thought that even a person like this, if born in the Pei family, would have the title of the eldest son of the Pei family and would be able to get the promise that Bai Yuan had just made, Pei Jin felt a nameless anger in his heart for no reason.
Haha, he deserves it!
Finally, Pei Jin sneered from his throat, "You'd better put away your little tricks, recognize your identity, and keep your distance from Bai Yuan."
Pei Jin raised his chin, displaying the domineering attitude of the eldest young master of the Pei family when he was rampant in Haiqi to the fullest, and warned in an arrogant and defiant tone:
"Bai Yuan is not worthy of someone like you."
