"Things have changed a bit, the old plan is no longer needed."
Su Chen explained:
"Sorry for having you act with for such a long ti."
"Don't be sorry, I've been very happy during this ti.
Pei Man said with a smile, looking into Su Chen's eyes.
"Happy?"
Pei Man's words made Su Chen a bit confused. What did she an by that?
"Yes! Is it hard to understand?"
Pei Man looked at the sowhat puzzled Su Chen and revealed a sly smile.
"It is a bit."
Su Chen hesitantly nodded his head.
To him, it didn't seem like sothing a woman should be happy about, pretending to be a couple with a strange man!
Although he didn't know why Pei Man had helped him initially—perhaps because she took a liking to him, or maybe because they got along well? He didn't know, and he hadn't thought about it deeply.
"Actually, it's very easy to understand, because I've fallen in love with you!"
Pei Man said to Su Chen with a steady tone, her beautiful eyes twinkling, conveying her seriousness.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Chen was stunned!
"Pei Man, let's not joke about this kind of thing, okay?"
Su Chen quickly waved his hands.
Pei Man indeed had said similar things before, but not as seriously, rely in a sowhat joking manner, so Su Chen hadn't taken it seriously, thinking she was just playing around.
But her serious deanor right now truly caught Su Chen off guard.
He had never really considered that Pei Man could fall in love with him. How could that be possible?
"Do you really think I'm joking?"
Pei Man tilted her head slightly and smiled at Su Chen:
"You've taken liberties with several tis and I wasn't even mad. Don't you think that explains enough? Or do you see as a frivolous woman?"
"No, no! You're definitely not a frivolous woman!"
Su Chen hastily said, feeling completely overwheld at the mont!
He really hadn't considered what Pei Man had just brought up; at the ti, he probably had just been happy taking advantage of the situation!
Now that Pei Man had pointed it out, he suddenly experienced a mont of realization!
Of course! A woman like Pei Man, if she wasn't truly interested in a man, why would she allow him to go so far!
I'm really stupid!
Su Chen couldn't help but curse himself internally!
But now that things had co to this, what could he do?
If he said he felt nothing for Pei Man, he would certainly be a hypocrite!
However, with the issues involving Eniel and Du Hanbing still unresolved, adding Pei Man to the mix would just be too chaotic!
"But I already have a wife!"
Su Chen murmured.
"I know!"
Pei Man smiled casually.
"What I an is, you falling in love with isn't worth it, I can't give you any status."
Su Chen said anxiously.
"Do you think I care about that?"
Pei Man brushed her hair back and smiled lightly:
"Besides, when you fall in love, it is what it is, there's no question of worthiness!"
"You don't need to be so conflicted, to use a popular phrase nowadays, falling in love with you is my business, it's none of your concern!"
Pei Man said very casually, seemingly not treating the matter as any big deal.
Su Chen was even more baffled after hearing this. What did she actually an by all that?
"Okay, have you finished talking now?"
Pei Man said.
"Yeah, ha~~"
Su Chen responded, his mind a complete ss.
"Alright then, carry down, and you can leave."
Pei Man said as she opened the car door.
Hearing this, Su Chen had no choice but to get out of the car, lift Pei Man down, and place her back in the wheelchair beside him:
"Do you want to push you inside?"
"No need, you can go ahead, I can manage on my own."
Pei Man said with a gentle smile.
Su Chen then drove away, but his head was still sowhat dizzy!
His feelings were a mix of emotions. Being liked by a woman like Pei Man was certainly sothing any man would be happy about, but it all ca so suddenly that he always felt confused!
But what bothered him more was what he was supposed to do in the future!
Pei Man watched Su Chen's leaving car, her face showing an indescribable expression!
However, she had already made up her mind not to let go of this man easily!
And she believed that a man like him definitely had more than one or two won!
Perhaps he didn't even know how attractive he was to won!
His wife would eventually have to accept this reality, which might just be a part of loving such a man!
Regarding this, Pei Man was confident in her judgnt.
Hence, why should she care whether he had a wife or not?
For Pei Man, it wasn't necessary for Su Chen to accept her imdiately; letting him know about her love for him was enough!
After waiting outside for a while, Pei Man pushed her wheelchair and went inside...
....
Su Chen still felt dizzy even after arriving at the company and lay down on the sofa in his office, zoning out. He even forgot to go down for lunch, as his mind kept going back to the morning's encounter with Pei Man.
He had initially just wanted to clarify the charade of them pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but it had turned out to be a major headache!
"What are you thinking about?"
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Xia Qiuru walked in to see him lying on the sofa, lost in thought, and couldn't help but ask.
"Qiuru, it's you!"
It was only then that Su Chen sat up upon hearing Xia Qiuru's voice.
"You haven't had lunch yet, have you? I've brought you so."
Xia Qiuru placed the packed al on the coffee table; she knew he was in the office and had brought a portion seeing that he hadn't gone for lunch.
"I am actually a bit hungry! Thanks!"
Su Chen said, slling the food's aroma and smiling.
"Alright then, you eat. I'll go back to work."
Xia Qiuru said and then left.
After finishing lunch, Su Chen saw there wasn't much else to do and went back to practice.
Although the pressure from the Hidden Dragon Hall was no longer there, it didn't an he would give up on cultivation.
After all, there was still the Judgnt Departnt to deal with!
The situation with Hidden Dragon Hall was easing, and they managed to coexist peacefully.
However, as for the Judgnt Departnt, whether for personal grievances or for the sake of humanity, he would absolutely not let it go!
Moreover, there was the matter involving Qi ng; if indeed the Judgnt Departnt was behind Qi ng, what were they planning against him?
About this, he still had no clue.
Once he settled the matters in Yandu, dealing with the Judgnt Departnt was going to be his next step!
But considering the information currently available to him, the Judgnt Departnt also had its fair share of strong practitioners, including those in the ridian Expansion Realm. How could he afford not to focus on cultivating?
