one of the noble ladies

Chapter 37
The Qiao family is different from the Pei family. Qiao Yanxiong's four wives all live in Qiao's house, and the daughters who have not left the court are not allowed to live outside. The sons are all kicked out of the house when they reach the age of 18. The Qiao family is also used to staying in the house during the day. Go out to have fun, come back before dinner at night, because usually Qiao Yanxiong will eat dinner at home, competing for favor is something that the women and children of the Qiao family have to do every day!
Qiao Yanxiong heard the housekeeper call and said that Pei Yi was here, so he came back very early. Qiao Muxi was not expecting to marry Pei Yi. It's not that he didn't think about marrying the Pei family. Hold on to hope.

Qiao Muxi really fell asleep. She was so tired after a busy day that she almost fell asleep on the bed. Pei Yi was looking at her room. Speaking of which, this room was neat and tidy, not at all like a girl's boudoir. Neither pink nor lace, which symbolized the princess, had ever appeared in this room. He didn't understand how a soft woman like Qiao Muxi grew up in such an extremely simple room!

The bookshelves on the entire wall caught Pei Yi's attention without any surprise. It can be said that this bookshelf is the only bright spot in the room. The shelves are full of books, neatly stacked. He walked over lightly and quickly browsed with his hands behind his back. The titles of the books include classics, social sciences, management, and finance, which can be said to be rich in categories. He randomly picked out a management book. This book is well protected, but it can still be seen that it is often read The title page reads "Management is an art". Her handwriting is soft but firm, and it can be seen that she has practiced it with her heart.When he opened it again, dense markings could be seen in the blank spaces. He put the book back to its original place, and took out another book about finance. When he opened it, he could still see the serious markings. so it is.

Pei Yi looked at the bookshelf with his hands behind his back, which meant that she had read all these books, and read them seriously, more than once. He turned his head and looked at Qiao Muxi who was sleeping soundly on the bed. She looked so weak, lying on the bed. The bed looked extraordinarily large, and only now did he deeply realize that Qiao Muxi's success was definitely related to her personal efforts, and she had put in twice or even several times as much effort as a man. For the first time, she felt that the woman on the bed was worthy of respect !

He has seen too many women, even a woman with an excellent career still wants to marry into a wealthy family, relying entirely on his own efforts and does not want to find a powerful husband as the background, he only saw Qiao Muxi alone, and only now did he deeply understand Seeing his father's intentions, with Qiao Muxi's hard work, he is indeed a rare assistant, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

Qiao Yanxiong's return was something that no one expected, so that everyone who was looking for fun outside has not come back yet. Qiao Yixue was very happy to see her father come back. She had already thought of a plan. She said happily: "Dad, Mu Xi is back, and Pei Yi is also back!"

"Where is he?" Qiao Yanxiong asked.

"Upstairs, I'll call!" Before Qiao Yanxiong could give orders, he had already galloped away.

Hearing the knock on the door, Pei Yi was very displeased, and subconsciously glanced at Qiao Muxi on the bed. She was sleeping soundly, and it didn't affect her at all. He quickly walked to the door, and opened it abruptly. Qiao Yixue saw No one opened the door, so I listened carefully, but the door was suddenly opened, and she fell straight forward, looking like she was about to fall into Pei Yi's arms, Pei Yi quickly took a step back, with a sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

Qiao Yixue helped herself to the door frame in time to avoid falling to the ground. She felt so embarrassed, tried her best not to blush, and said softly, "Dad is back, please get down!"

Pei Yi looked back into the room, Qiao Muxi showed no sign of waking up, so he was lazy, but Qiao Yanxiong's status was not something he underestimated casually, so he still had to take care of his face, "Yeah!" After closing the door, she followed Qiao Yixue downstairs.

Qiao Yixue walked ahead, the corners of her lips could not help but curl up, didn't the opportunity come?When dealing with men, Qiao Muxi will never have as many tricks as hers!

When Qiao Muxi woke up, she saw that there was no one in the room. She sat up and straightened her clothes, opened the door and walked to the stairs. At a glance, she saw her father sitting in the center on the sofa, and Pei on the side seat. Yi, and Qiao Yixue who was not far away from him, the three of them talked very happily, especially Qiao Yixue's shy and smiling appearance was particularly eye-catching, she felt like she was stabbed by something in her heart, it was extremely uncomfortable!
Qiao Muxi walked down step by step. Pei Yi was a very sensitive person. He was the first to notice that Qiao Muxi was going downstairs, so he quickly stood up and greeted her. He took her hand and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you sleep more?"

"Enough sleep!" I was still a little embarrassed to be intimate with other men in front of my father.

"Are you hungry?" he asked again.

It's not time for dinner yet, Qiao Muxi knows the rules of the Qiao family, even if she's hungry, she can't say anything, so she forced a smile and said, "No!"

Pei Yi turned his head, looked at Qiao Yanxiong and asked, "Speaking of which, I'm really hungry, Dad, what time is dinner?" He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and asked in a tone as if Qiao Yanxiong was his own father.No, it's more casual than being with your own father.

Qiao Yanxiong ordered, "Housekeeper, prepare the meal now!"

Pei Yi achieved his goal, and pulled Qiao Muxi to the sofa. Qiao Muxi didn't sit down, but stood up and called out politely: "Dad!"

"Hmm! Sit down!" Although Qiao Yanxiong tried his best to appear kind, he still looked indifferent.

Pei Yi pulled Qiao Muxi to the sofa and sat down. He was next to her, and his hand never let go of hers. It was a scene of affection. He and Qiao Yanxiong discussed various topics relaxedly, all related to business. It can be seen that Qiao Yanxiong is in a good mood.

Originally, Qiao Yixue was in a good mood, but after Qiao Muxi came down, her face changed. Although she still had a smile on her face when she was sitting by the side, it was much weaker than before. She couldn't help but look at Qiao Muxi, just right Qiao Muxi's gaze was slightly smiling, and there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes. She turned her head angrily. She really didn't understand why Pei Yi just fell in love with the most incomprehensible daughter of the Qiao family, and loved her so much!
When the members of the Qiao family came back one after another, they were very surprised to find that Qiao Yanxiong was at home. Everyone knew that Qiao Yanxiong's time was very regular. Looking at Qiao Muxi and Pei Yi sitting on the sofa, they were even more surprised. Qiao Muxi had never returned since returning home. The scandals outside the Qiao family and Pei Yi have never stopped, and no one knows what happened when they saw the loving expressions of the two.
