Chapter 74: Be My Woman

  "Hmm... I want a crab meat salad, and..." Ye Anning was ordering her meal when the waiter said, "Miss, this gentleman has already ordered the crab meat salad."

  Ye Anning was taken aback and looked up at him, wondering if he had coincidentally hit the same spot or shared the same hobby as her.

  Su Wen smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I've already ordered for you. I know you like to eat crab meat, so I ordered it. Take a look and see if there's anything else you'd like..." Su Wen spoke very cautiously, afraid that he might do something wrong and make her angry.

  Ye Anning smiled and said to the waiter, "No need, just bring what this gentleman ordered." She turned her head and asked Su Wen in a low voice, "Does the investigation data also show what I like to eat?"

  Su Wen's face turned red with embarrassment, "I hope you won't be angry."

  "It won't." If it were someone else, they might feel like their privacy had been invaded, but for her, there was no such feeling. After all, apart from Tian Xinian, nobody knew that she loved eating crab meat the most. He was willing to put in effort for her, and she felt a little moved. After all, they were just acquaintances, but now he probably understood her better than her own family did.

  When the waiter brought up the dishes, she was even more moved.

  The soup was crab meat thick soup, the appetizer was a plate of crab legs, and the main course was refreshing crab meat and fragrant fried crab legs. Although she was more stunned, having never seen anyone order like this before.

  "Hehe, thanks, thank you."

  Su Wen's face turned even redder, "You like it, that's good. You must be hungry, eat quickly."

  Yan Ning started eating with gusto, she was really hungry, if it wasn't for his words, she would have been full a long time ago, but being late and getting to eat such a delicious crab feast, she thought it was still worth it.

  Su Wen ate very little, taking a few bites and stopping to watch Ye Anning, seeing her eat well, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, he thought for a moment, then softly opened his mouth to ask, "Anning, oh, can I call you that?"

  "Of course." Ye Anning raised her head and glanced at him before continuing to fight with her head down.

  "Peace, I, I..." Su Wen said "I" for half a day but didn't say anything else.

  Ye Anning was getting impatient, she usually couldn't stand such nagging men, but considering the whole table of crab feast, she didn't want to lose her temper either. She raised her head and said softly, "You can speak directly, we... should already be considered friends, right?"

  Ye Anning's smile suddenly made Su Wen feel dizzy and his confidence increased. He cleared his throat, took a deep breath, "Anning, I've liked you since the first time I saw you at the banquet. After this incident, I found that I have fallen in love with you."

  Hmph!

  Ye Anning almost spat out a mouthful of juice, "Wh-what?"

  Su Wen gritted his teeth, "An Ning, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?"

  Ye Anning was stunned, he confessed to her? No way, she had been so humiliated in front of him before.

  Ye Anning was thinking of how to refuse him when a cold and detached voice replaced her answer, "No!"

  Ye Anning turned around in shock, how did he end up here?

  Pei Jun naturally sat down beside Ye Anning, with Su Wen's gaze on them, and wrapped his large hands around Ye Anning's waist, exerting some force.

  "You... how can you say no!" Su Wen looked at Pei Jun and then at Ye Anning, finally fixing his dissatisfied gaze on Pei Jun.

  Pei Jun didn't even lift his head, directly taking the other glove on the table that hadn't been touched and putting it on, taking away the plate in front of her, carefully peeling off the crab shell, and then placing it on her plate. Ye Anning was very surprised by his sudden appearance, but she didn't ask any questions, obediently lowering her head to eat.

  Su Wen was thoroughly ignored by him, her face flushed red, and she glared at him with great dissatisfaction. She turned her head to look at Ye Anning, her voice softening as she asked again, "Anning, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

  Ye Anning's body stiffened slightly, she couldn't help but want the man in front of her to shut up. He might not have noticed, but with her familiarity with Pei Jun, she could clearly feel the cold air emanating from him.

  "Peace." Su Wen found that Ye Anning kept glancing at Pei Jun from time to time, so he called her again, hoping to shift her attention to himself. "Are you willing to be my girlfriend? I'll take good care of you and won't let you get bullied anymore."

  Ye Anning smiled and said apologetically, "Sorry, I can't be your girlfriend."

  "Why?" Su Wen was slightly hurt and glanced at the uninvited man beside her, was it because of him?

  "Because I have to listen to him, otherwise I will die miserably."

  She thought she had made herself clear, but to her surprise, Su Wen glared at Pei Jun and asked in a cold tone, "Did he threaten you? Don't be afraid of him, An Ning. I can protect you."

  Ye Anning sighed and looked up at the sky, unsure whether her words were too obscure or if the other person was just too simple.

  Bai Jun turned around quietly, took off his gloves, put a plate of crab meat in front of her, and then used a paper towel to gently wipe the corner of her mouth. His voice was soft and warm, "Look at you, you've got it all over your face. If you like it, I'll make it for you tonight."

  "There's also crab congee." Actually this is what she likes best, but there isn't any here.

  "It's okay, but you're not allowed to eat too much, or else you'll end up like last time, waking up in the middle of the night with a stomachache. If you can't sleep, I won't be able to either. I don't want to be disturbed by you again in the dead of night."

  Tonight... for the first time... midnight... sleep...

  Su Wen's eyes were all red, and it was clear what kind of relationship the two people in front of her had.

  "Anning, didn't you say he wasn't your boyfriend?"

  Ye Anning nodded foolishly, "Yes." He indeed wasn't her boyfriend, but they did live together, didn't they? She glanced at the abdominal black male beside her, he was really good at making up nonsense. When had they ever eaten crab? When had she had a stomachache in the middle of the night?

  All liars are not good kids! She looked at Pei Jun and pouted.

  Pei Jun never looked at Su Wen from start to finish, his big hands wrapped around Ye Anning's waist, and his fingertips occasionally brushed against the edge of her bra.

  Ye Anning was about to lose her composure, this is a high-end restaurant, he didn't care but she did, however before she could get angry, Su Wen across from her had already stood up, with a loud thud, due to anger he bumped into the table, making a dull sound, "Sorry, I have something to do, I'll leave first."

  Ye Anning felt a little embarrassed by his angry and disappointed look, after all, he had saved her and treated her to such a delicious crab feast. However, she couldn't be with him, she didn't have any feelings for him at all. Although she thought Pei Jun's method was a bit cruel, but anyway, she would have to reject him, what difference did it make how he did it?

  She smiled and waved goodbye, "Bye."

  Su Wen left with red eyes, Pei Jun's big hand around her waist slowly moved to her arm and grasped the same hand that had said goodbye to Su Wen, using some force, Ye Anning was in so much pain she almost jumped up.

  "What's wrong with you?!"

  "Go!"

  "Leave? There's still a lot of food left here?" She had only eaten one crab leg and a mouthful of salad, she wasn't even full yet.

  "Didn't you hear me tell you to leave?!" Pei Jun suddenly growled, the people in the restaurant looked at them with astonished eyes, Ye Anning was furious and pushed him away before storming out.

  On the bus, Ye Anning's nose was not a nose, her eyes were not eyes, and she stared out of the window with a cold face. Pei Jun, who was already furious, saw her like this and became even angrier, "Damn it, is he so infatuated with the things he bought that you can't forget them?"

  "Neurosis!" Ye Anning didn't even glance at him and said in a low voice.

  "Say it again!" Pei Jun's roar in the cramped carriage sounded exceptionally cold, Ye Anning rolled her eyes but still didn't dare to speak out loud. Sometimes she was really afraid of him, just like now, as if he could strangle her to death with a slight movement of his hand.

  Bai Jun looked at her not speaking, and thought of when they just arrived at the restaurant, she and Su Wen were smiling and chatting there, he wanted to strangle her!

  Damn it! Does she know or not that she almost slept with Su Wen?

  I still want to scold her. Doesn't she have any defensive psychology at all? Can't she see that Su Wen's gaze is emitting a green light!

  Pei Jun was getting angrier by the minute, and seeing her sulking expression made him even more furious. "Are you pouting at me now because of that meal, or because I chased that man away? Are you feeling sorry for him?"

  Ye Anning coldly snorted and thought he was making a fuss over nothing.

  "Speak!"

  "Yes, I'm heartbroken. Let me tell you, I'm really heartbroken. Su Wen is a good person, he's a gentleman, not like some people who don't eat unless they're fed for free. He's also gentle and considerate, always knows how to make people feel better. Not like some people who walk around with a scowl on their face all day, as if someone owes them millions of dollars. And whenever something happens, they just throw a tantrum, hit people... only know how to solve problems with violence, basically a..."

  Ye Anning was speaking with flying eyebrows and vigor when Pei Jun suddenly turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brakes. She wasn't wearing a seatbelt, so she crashed into the windshield in front of her, dazing her head and making her cry out in pain, "Are you crazy?!"

  Bai Jun grasped her hand tightly, his voice icy and menacing, "Repeat what you just said!"

  Ye Anning's head hurt from being bumped, and he thought he was simply a madman. At that moment, there were no kind words either. "What I said is the truth!"

  "Pei Jun's voice was low and cold, with a hint of danger. 'So you still care about what happened between us the first time. Who do you want to keep it for, Shen Yicheng or Su Wen?'"

  Ye Anning felt like her hands were going to break off and exclaimed, "Let me go! You violent thug, I'd rather be with anyone else than you!"

  "Is it? Unfortunately, you have no choice now, just like you said, you delivered yourself to my door, I won't let you go for nothing!"

  "Damn you!" Ye Anning couldn't stand those lowly words that described her coming out of his mouth.

  Pei Jun's face was cold and cruel, exuding a fierce aura. He stretched out his hands to grab her waist and dragged her over, "You haven't been disciplined for days, you're getting itchy!"
