Chapter 43: Offense

Qiao Rui hadn't expected Pei Liyan to drag her into the room.

But having just the two of them in one room created an eerily bizarre atmosphere.

She didn't speak, just turned her head to look at the tall man behind her, waiting for him to speak.

Pei Liyan's gaze was deep as he looked at her, his eyes practically spewing fire.

Qiao Rui found it strange. Why was he angry? It wasn't like she had thrown the water.

"Do you have any idea what it means to be Mrs. Pei?" Pei Liyan asked coldly.

"Pfft!" Qiao Rui sighed, "You were sitting right next to my older sister. I think you two are a perfect match, it doesn't matter to me whether I act conscious of it or not."

"Ha!" Pei Liyan scoffed coldly, "So you just keep your distance."

"That's not it. I tried to squeeze over, but there was no room left to sit. What, was I supposed to sit on your lap?" Qiao Rui retorted.

Pei Liyan snorted, "Sitting on my lap? In your dreams."
