Chapter 95 As long as I like it, no one can stop me.
In the ward, the two men stood facing each other, and the air seemed particularly tense.
Chi Yan sneered: "And what about you? Why didn't you tell me you knew Shi Sui? Hiding it from me—was it fun?"
A few seconds later.
"It was my fault. I should have told you sooner that she and I were childhood sweethearts."
Pei Shuoxun's gaze was gentle and calm, with a slight smile on his lips. He continued, "I also want to make it clear to you sooner rather than later that Shi Sui doesn't like you at all. She may have done some things that made you misunderstand."
"She was just being immature, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Chi Yan curled his lip as if he had heard a joke: "Apologize? You have no right to apologize, and she doesn't need to apologize either."
He had already figured it out: apart from being a little slow and emotionally oblivious, Shi Sui was completely without fault.
So what if it's just his wishful thinking? So what if he likes her unilaterally?
Chi Yan chuckled lazily and asked, "Pei Shuoxun, do you know why she's pretending not to know you?"
Pei Shuoxun's eyelashes trembled, and his dark eyes flickered slightly.
"She told me that you have too many bad romantic prospects, and that she wants to focus on her studies at school and doesn't want to get entangled with you." Chi Yan raised her voice, making it bright and clear.
Pei Shuoxun thought for a moment, and realized that Chi Yan hadn't lied about the first half of the sentence, which indeed fit Shi Sui's thought process.
But Shi Sui would never say something like "I don't want to get entangled with him" in the second half of her sentence; at most, she would say "I don't want your suitors to come knocking on my door."
"I have a lot of bad romantic prospects?" Pei Shuoxun chuckled. "And you, Chi Yan, you have your share of bad romantic prospects too, don't you?"
Speaking of bad romantic prospects, Chi Yan's face darkened: "Song Xinying confessed to Shi Sui."
Damn it, the worst romantic relationship I ever had fell for someone I liked, and he even kept calling me an idiot!
Pei Shuoxun couldn't help but chuckle: "Another rival in love."
“Pei Shuoxun.” Chi Yan suddenly remembered something, his eyes sharpening. “You know I like her. You did that on purpose at the construction site just now, didn’t you?”
He clearly saw him.
She deliberately kissed Shi Sui in front of him. If Shi Sui hadn't dodged, it wouldn't have been as simple as just a kiss on the cheek!
Pei Shuoxun smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.
He changed the subject: "Chi Yan, please get this straight. In front of me, you've always said that she pursued you and liked you. You've never admitted to liking her."
Pei Shuoxun smiled and said, "What, I didn't know you liked her? I've always liked my childhood sweetheart, is that wrong?"
Chi Yan's dark eyes remained calm, but he cursed inwardly.
damn it.
Why was he so stubborn before? Why was he so embarrassed to say he liked someone? Now look at him, he can't refute a single word of it.
After a few seconds of deathly silence, Chi Yan said leisurely, "Pei Shuoxun, don't forget, you still have Shangguan Ying."
"Let me remind you, the Pei family and the Shangguan family will announce their marriage alliance at the end of this year."
Chi Yan turned her head and asked him, "What makes you think you have the right to like Shi Sui?"
He laughed arrogantly: "I'm different. As long as I like it, no one can stop me."
Pei Shuoxun saw the smug gleam in his eyes.
Although the Chi family and the Pei family are equally powerful families, Chi Yan's background is completely different from his.
One is a young master who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, able to get everything he wants without fighting or grabbing; the other is an illegitimate child.
Although the Pei family publicly acknowledges him as their long-lost young master and is very cautious internally, never mentioning his status as an illegitimate child, Pei Shuoxun knows that no matter how outstanding or well he performs, the Pei family still harbors resentment about it.
Moreover, the Pei family is large and numerous, with many vying for the position of heir.
Only through a marriage alliance with the Shangguan family could Pei Shuoxun qualify as the heir.
But now——
Pei Shuoxun shrugged and said nonchalantly, "The marriage can be canceled. Chi Yan, I've disappointed you. When it comes to feelings, I can put aside the Pei family's status."
"Oh?" Chi Yan raised an eyebrow, directly cutting to the chase, "You can let go of your status in the Pei family, but can your father let go? And your nominal mother, can she let go?"
Pei Shuoxun knew that he was taken back to the Pei family for two reasons: first, his nominal mother was infertile and suffered from the family's contempt; and second, it was because of the dispute over the family property.
The heir to the Pei family will be chosen from his generation.
He was the couple's biggest asset. In just three years, they devoted all their efforts to cultivating him, and he lived up to their expectations, gaining the family's favor.
They even devised a plan to arrange a marriage between him and the Shangguan family.
Everyone loves profit, and that couple was no exception; they would never allow anyone to obstruct the marriage alliance between the Pei and Shangguan families.
Pei Shuoxun lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Chi Yan, can you protect Shi Sui?"
Chi Yan's eyes were cold.
Pei Shuoxun continued in a hoarse voice, "You're late for today's kidnapping. If it weren't for me, do you know what the consequences would have been?"
Chi Yan's heart sank suddenly, and he fell silent.
Pei Shuoxun: "Shi Sui has only been here for three months. I don't think she can offend anyone, nor do I think that someone from a small family like the Jiang family would pay to kidnap her."
The implication.
"This kidnapping is aimed at me." Chi Yan lowered his eyes, his sharp brows showing a hint of weariness.
There were no twists and turns; it was a super simple kidnapping targeting Shi Sui, but the two of them didn't think so.
Pei Shuoxun: "The Chi family has a long history in the business world and has made many enemies. Since they don't dare to deal with you directly, they will target the people around you."
"Chi Yan, you're too flamboyant at school. You're only putting innocent people in danger."
