Chapter 230: Walking on the Edge of Tentativeness

Shocked, Qiao Rui looked at Pei Liyan, whose gaze was calm. He was truly a man of great insight.

Muyu had just had an abortion two days ago, a medical abortion, and she would probably bleed for many days.

What she needed most now was rest and recovery, and her complexion didn't look good.

She couldn't even bring herself to talk about it.

And yet Pei Liyan had figured it out.

Sensing Qiao Rui's astonished look, Pei Liyan smiled faintly and said, "It's quite rare, she seemed to take a liking to you at first sight."

Qiao Rui's heart skipped a beat, and she replied, "Maybe my charm is just too great. It's hard for people not to like me when they meet me."

"You're quite confident," Pei Liyan observed the woman who was laughing unrestrainedly.

"Of course," said Qiao Rui, "I was so ugly then, and Mr. Pei chose to marry me. That gave me a lot of confidence."

"Does that mean I'm the chief culprit then?" Pei Liyan raised an eyebrow.
