Chapter 122: Extra Hard Work
Facing Chu Haotian's ridicule, Pei Zhuo retorted mercilessly:
"I heard that you paid a lot of money to hire an Oiran. With your financial resources, do you think you can hire her for a month or two? She will still have to receive customers by then. Do you want to redeem her? I think you are dreaming big."

Chu Haotian was stunned by his series of attacks. It was strange. Why did Pei Zhuo have such a vicious mouth now that he stopped stuttering?

Chu Haotian's face showed the unnatural feeling of having his secrets exposed. He stiffened his neck and said, "How can it be the same? I can achieve this with money. What about yours?"

Pei Zhuo walked out and said mercilessly: "But you didn't."

Chu Haotian: ...

While feeling angry, Chu Haotian couldn't help but reflect, damn, what Pei Zhuo said was actually right.

After leaving the Northern Pacification Office, Pei Zhuo walked into the princess's mansion with ease.

At the same time, Zhao Qiyue was sitting in front of the bronze mirror with a frown on his face.

The Queen Mother said that Shen Jie agreed to send Lu Qiqi away, and he gave her a large sum of money and broke off their relationship.

If Zhao Qiyue was angry before because Shen Jie and Lu Qiqi were still in contact.

This time, she felt relieved.

Shen Jie and Lu Qiqi have known each other for more than ten years, and they can let it go just like that. Perhaps it is like what the queen mother said, they have recognized the interests involved.

Haha, he's just a hypocrite.

He neither kept his oath to Zhao Qiyue nor his promise to Lu Qiqi.

He accepts everyone who comes and takes advantage of both sides.

According to her mother's instructions, her wedding to Shen Jie took place as scheduled.

Zhao Qiyue agreed, but she always felt like something was blocking her heart.

To be honest, she was a little reluctant to leave Pei Zhuo. Could it be that she fell in love with him?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Zhao Qiyue quickly shook her head to deny it. It was impossible. At most, she was quite satisfied with his body.

And she always thought Pei Zhuo was obedient to her, probably because she was too used to it.

While she was thinking, a figure came in from the window. She knew it was Pei Zhuo without even looking.

After Pei Zhuo entered the room, he sat down at the table in a familiar manner, poured himself two glasses of water, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When I came back, Zhao Qiyue was already in bed.

He followed with bare arms. Zhao Qiyue caught a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye and suddenly clenched her hands on the quilt.

"Pezhuo, I have something to tell you."

Pei Zhuo's hair on his forehead was wet. He didn't even blink when he heard the words, and directly covered Zhao Qiyue's mouth.

That night, Pei Zhuo worked particularly hard.

*
At five o'clock in the morning, Pei Zhuo got dressed and prepared to leave. In the past, Zhao Qiyue would not wake up at this time, but today, her mind was unusually clear.

To be exact, she didn't sleep much last night.

She turned sideways, looked at Pei Zhuo's broad back, suddenly stepped forward and hugged him from behind.

Zhao Qiyue said in a muffled voice: "Pei Zhuo, I will be getting married to Shen Jie next month."

Pei Zhuo paused while putting on his clothes, and said without turning his head: "I know."

Hearing his indifferent tone, Zhao Qiyue suddenly felt a sour sensation in her nose.

She forced herself to suppress the strange feeling in her heart, forced out a smile, and said as if she didn't care:

"You see, you have a proper job now. You won't have trouble finding a wife. If you meet someone who's suitable, you can get married."

"But don't always have a sullen face, or you might scare the girls away."

Pei Zhuo said in the same tone as before: "I know."

Zhao Qiyue let go and turned away: "Then go, I want to sleep for a while."
