Chapter 39: Husband and Wife as One

Pei Liyan imperceptibly raised his eyebrows, feeling that Qiao Rui was particularly sharp.

This girl, so rustic in her ways, sometimes spoke with cutting sharpness, putting others in a difficult spot, yet it was this directness that sometimes made him anticipate her reactions.

At times, he inexplicably wanted to see how Qiao Rui would react.

Seeing her so guarded, Pei Liyan smiled lightly, his handsome face carrying a hint of amusement, "Actually, you don't need to be so wary of me. I've said before that husband and wife are one, and now we are essentially on the same battle ship."

Qiao Rui said, "Oh, if you put it that way, I too will be honest, I'm fine, and I can handle my grandpa's matter."

"Really?" Pei Liyan's tone conveyed disbelief. "Your grandpa would easily agree to you not speaking up for him?"

Qiao Rui's expression remained as plain as usual, without any emotion. "Of course he won't agree. He also wants me to convince you to fund them with five billion."
