Chapter 085: You mean sleep with me?

  "This..." Ye Anning looked at Pei Jun with tension, only because his face was too gloomy. Since she knew his identity, she felt that he seemed to become more and more terrifying.

  A sharp glance swept across her face, causing the words on the tip of her tongue to be swallowed back, and she could only murmur in a low voice, "Sorry, I..."

  "Add a word, send her away." Pei Jun's icy words had no warmth at all, and after finishing speaking, he didn't even glance at her, directly walking up the stairs.

  Downstairs, Ye Anning looked at his cold and hard back, feeling a bit at a loss. Looking at the large layout on the newspaper, her temples jumped violently.

  "Miss Ye, please," Fu Yan said calmly and neutrally.

  "Hey, would you mind sending me to school?" Yan Ning's brain was still a bit muddled, and with the semester almost over, she still had three classes today.

  "Miss Ye, I've already asked for leave on your behalf. Besides, it's probably not suitable for you to go to school at this time, as there will definitely be many reporters there." Fu Yan reminded her.

  "What's going on?" Anning was somewhat at a loss.

  "Let's go back to the apartment."

  "......Alright."

  Anning felt a bit restless, now she couldn't even go to school, with such a big spread, probably the whole city of A knew about it, "The thing in the newspaper..." She hesitated to speak.

  "This president will handle it well."

  "Oh."

  Ye Anning got off the car and hurriedly went upstairs, keeping her head down for fear of being recognized by someone. When she arrived home, she took out her phone only to find that it had automatically shut down. After plugging in the charger and turning it on, there were many missed calls inside, all of which were from Ye Qingyun.

  Her heart skipped a beat, she had a bad premonition, and hurriedly called back. As soon as the phone was answered, it was Ye Qingyun's yelling voice, "Where have you been, thinking of calling me only now?!"

  She left without a word last night and I don't know what happened with the contract either.

  "The contract fell through last night, I've already decided to cooperate with the government to develop that piece of land in Xue Song Yuan."

  Ye Pei Hui's eyes widened in shock. Ye An Ning's ominous premonition had come true, and she explained frantically, "Dad, I was really sick last night, I couldn't hold on any longer. Without that contract, we can find other partners, right? Next time, next time I'll definitely help you get the contract, okay? Snow Pine Garden really can't be touched, please, Daddy."

  Her pleading words only earned a mocking smile from Ye Qingyun, "Now you know what it means to be anxious. What did you do earlier? You call that persistence? You mean going to the villa with Pei Jun? Alright, I have a meeting this afternoon and no time to chat nonsense with you!"

  "Dad! Dad!" Ye Anning anxiously called out, but the other end had already hung up. Ye Anning didn't hesitate and drove directly to the Ye's residence.

  It wasn't until almost noon that Ye Qingyun came out of the conference room, and seeing her was no surprise at all.

  "Dad, Snow Pine Garden can't be moved!"

  Ye Qingyun sat behind the office desk, calmly looking at her. After a while, instead of the scolding she had expected, he spoke with a hint of helplessness, "Anning, I also know how important Xue Song Garden is to you and your mother. But Dad doesn't have a choice either. Maybe it's because I'm useless, but Ye Corporation has been declining over the years. Dad needs to support an entire company, and Dad is also very helpless. This time, the government attaches great importance to this development project, and the profit will be substantial. It's not comparable to ordinary contracts. By taking on this contract, Ye Corporation will not only be saved but may even rise to a higher level."

  "There must be other ways, just say it straight, how can we avoid Snow Pine Garden."

  "Unless... a more powerful company is found for cooperation with greater profits, then Snow Pine Garden will naturally no longer be needed."

  She looked at him calmly and expressionlessly, no longer surprised by his words. He was originally a businessman who only cared about profits, and she knew he must have been thinking of such a plan in his heart.

  From the newspaper this morning to now, he actually only mentioned it lightly, which is already too abnormal. Is he trying to use Xue Songyuan to force her to surrender?

  Ye Anning stormed out in anger. As she reached the door, Ye Qingyun's low, cold voice floated from behind her, "You have only three days to think of a solution."

  She slammed the door shut, and although she had known long ago that Ye Qingyun was this kind of person, she still couldn't help but be hurt by his ruthlessness every time.

  She knew it wasn't just a threat to her, if she couldn't get a bigger contract, he would really tear down the Snow Pine Garden, because in Ye Qingyun's eyes, everything except money was nonsense.

  But who else could she find, apart from Pei Jun? She really didn't know who to turn to. Tian Xin Nian's family also ran a company, but she knew that Ye Qing Yun would definitely look down on the Tian family's small business. As for Yin Shi, she knew that as long as she spoke up, Tian Xin Nian would definitely help her think of a way, but she couldn't do that. She knew that Tian Xin Nian and Yin Yi Feng's marriage was already not pure enough, and she couldn't selfishly let financial relationships get mixed in again.

  Ye Anning smiled wryly, and that was because Pei Jun had no way out.

  No wonder Ye Qingyun has never mentioned Pei Jun before, nor forced her to interact with him, because he also knew that she had no other way out except for the path of Pei Jun.

  As she drove to Junting's building, she really didn't expect that as soon as she appeared, she would cause a commotion. The reporters who rushed up were like fierce beasts pouncing on her, asking non-stop about her relationship with Pei Jun, whether they were dating or lovers and benefactors.

  Even though she was usually carefree, at this moment she was really frightened out of her wits. Suddenly a pair of security guards rushed out from the building and rescued her from the throng of reporters rushing towards her. When they walked into the building, the quiet office environment blocked out the noise outside, and only then did she belatedly realize that there were several bruises on her arm.

  Those reporters just now almost swallowed her up in one gulp.

  She nodded and said, "Miss Ye is here to see the president, right? The president is in a meeting. I'll take you up to wait for him."

  Anning awkwardly smiled, the surrounding employees pretended to be busy with their work, but their gaze would inadvertently fall on her, those inquiring eyes made her feel uncomfortable all over.

  "Thank you."

  He led her all the way to Pei Jun's office and said that there was still an hour left before the meeting would end, telling her to just sit here and wait.

  She nodded and after he left, the large office was left with only her.

  In an office larger than her apartment, there was only one desk, one chair, one bookcase and a sofa she sat on.

  In the completely cold-colored office, there was no dust or stain, and it even gave her an illusion that her breath would contaminate this place.

  She sat quietly there motionless, but her mind was thinking about how to start a conversation with him.

  Before she knew it, the meeting was over. He walked in with Pei Yan following closely behind him. He gave her a brief glance before lowering his head and speaking rapidly about something.

  He was dressed in a crisp suit, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his demeanor was stern but not angry. Ye Anning suddenly felt a sense of dizziness - was the man who had been busy running around her small apartment wearing an apron really the same person as the one standing in front of her?

  Ye Anning fell into a daze until she was interrupted by a sarcastic voice, "You came to find me just to stare at me straight?"

  She was startled, only to find that Fu Yan had already retreated at some point, leaving only the two of them in the room. For some reason, he sat behind the office desk, staring at her with an expressionless gaze that made her feel a few pangs of regret.

  She now has an urge to escape, but she can't!

  "I've come to find you, I have something to ask of you." Ye Anning took a deep breath and stood up, walking over to stand in front of the office desk.

  "Oh? You have only five minutes."

  His calm and almost disdainful words somehow made Ye Anning feel less afraid, she frowned and stared at the man in front of her who was being arrogant, what's with him?!

  "There are still three minutes." He also didn't look at her, casually reminding her.

  "I hope I can get the opportunity to work with Junteng and Ye Shi," she said straightforwardly.

  "Ye Shi?" He finally looked up at her, but his eyes only showed disdain. Indeed, in his eyes, Ye Shi was nothing. Before, it was Ye Shi who looked down on him, now it's probably Ye Shi who can't even enter his eyes.

  "As long as you agree, I can promise you any condition." She said gritting her teeth.

  He seemed to have heard some earth-shaking joke, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. "What do you think there is that you can give me that I don't already have?"

  "My body."

  "Cough, cough..." He didn't expect to get such a straightforward answer, and accidentally got scalded by the coffee, starting to cough violently, looking a bit disheveled. After finally calming down, he glared at her fiercely and slammed the coffee cup onto the table.

  Anning was stared at by him with some innocence, she indeed had nothing else to give except for herself.

  "You mean sleep with me?" Pei Jun's eyes changed quietly.

  "Yes." Her crisp reply, anyway, wasn't entirely without sleep.

  "What makes you think I'd need a withered body like yours?" he said sarcastically.

  Ye Anning's face flashed with a hint of shame and anger, glaring at him fiercely, "Not liking you is still not enough!"

  She almost subconsciously retorted, but only realized what she had said after the words were out, and then pursed her lips with a somewhat regretful expression.

  Pei Jun raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes as he sized up the woman in front of him. She was wearing a white blouse and faded jeans that didn't fit her well, making her look rather scrawny, but he knew that beneath this unassuming outfit lay a tantalizing body.

  Suddenly, the scene of wiping her body last night flashed before his eyes, that chest... that buttocks...

  Just thinking about it, his body actually had a reaction...

  There is more to come...
