Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 284

At that time, he liked to say some words that made people blush and their hearts beat fast, which made her heart beat fast, but she liked it very much.

"You scared me to death." Ye Xi scolded.

"Xi Niang, you're finally back." Pei Zhu laughed at first, then said somewhat aggrievedly.

"You know how angry I was when you sent someone to deliver a letter and left that day. I even went to look for Xiang Cheng, but he told me that you had already left.

I wanted to chase you but I didn't know where you were going. Xiang Cheng said he only knew which cities you were going to, but didn't know the route you were taking, so I gave up.

"I knew you would do this, that's why I asked someone to send you the letter after you set out." Ye Xi felt a little embarrassed.

"You didn't bring your maid today?" Pei Zhu looked around.

"Well, I'm very familiar with this area anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I bring it with me or not."

"Well, do you want to go get some snacks?" Pei Zhu suggested. He wanted to get along well with Ye Xi. It would be inconvenient here with so many people coming and going.

"it is good."

The two of them chose a famous restaurant nearby. Since they were a single man and a single woman, they simply booked a private room.

After sitting down, Pei Zhu kept staring at Ye Xi with an undisguised gaze.

Ye Xi's face turned a little red, and she wiped her forehead and cheeks back and forth several times with a handkerchief. In fact, she wanted to test the temperature of her face, as she was worried that it would be noticed if it was too red.

"Xi Niang, you're not sweating. What you're wearing is still too thin for this weather."

Pei Zhu exposed her, and she stopped pretending to wipe the sweat off her hands, and her face turned even redder.

"You, you, I haven't seen you for a few months, how come you have become like this?"

He used to be quite a gentleman, but now he acts like a playboy, making her blush at every turn.

"Haha, I just think Xi Niang should like the old me more." Of course, I mean before the divorce.

"You, restrain yourself, it's not yet..."

Pei Zhu understood the unspoken meaning at once, and he couldn't suppress the curve of his lips.

When the two met for the first time after their marriage, Pei Zhu did not hide his recklessness in front of Ye Xi, so the scope of their conversation was somewhat inappropriate for children.

Now that Pei Zhu has changed his decadent look and returned to his previous appearance, Ye Xi is somewhat uncomfortable with it.

After all, they were husband and wife back then and nothing was too much, but now they are not in that kind of relationship anymore, so naturally they have to be more cautious.

"Okay." Pei Zhu felt that if he passed, it would be bad for Ye Xi if the news got out.

He observed Ye Xi for a while and found that she looked much more haggard than when she just came back.

He had experienced such things before and knew that it was not easy to travel, let alone for a girl.

"Xi Niang, if you don't mind taking me with you when you travel in the future, I can take care of you on the way. You know how worried I have been about you these past few months.

I can only hear news about you from Xiang Cheng every month, but he can't tell me where you are."

Ye Xi knew that she had specifically told Ye Xin not to tell Pei Zhu, for fear that he would come rashly.

She wanted him to concentrate on running his new store.

There were things she had to do, and he had things he had to do.

"I won't be traveling in the short term, I'll just let the people below do the running."

Ye Xi explained that she didn't want to live too long, so why would she dare to run around?

"That's good."

"Well, I...I have something to tell you."

Ye Xi hesitated, but Pei Zhu did not urge her. He just looked at her seriously, waiting for her next words.
