After The Divorce, My Dad Was Abused and Cried - Chapter 17

Because of the last misunderstanding.

Pei Yichen felt deeply sorry for Jian Muyu, so he specially booked a popular online restaurant to make amends with her.

In fact, Jian Muyu was not really angry with Pei Yichen.

When she was at her lowest point and helpless, it was Pei Yichen who helped her.

If it weren’t for her, she would not have made it this far.

For so many years, they have always supported each other.

They have long become like family.

What happened that night was just a misunderstanding.

She couldn’t break up with Pei Yichen because of this.

But Pei Yichen insisted, and Jian Muyu had no choice but to accept the appointment.

“The reviews of this restaurant are pretty good online, you can give it a try.” Pei Yichen said.

“Actually, you don’t need to waste the money. Am I really angry with you?” Jian Muyu was a little helpless.

“That won’t work. I won’t feel at ease. What if you run away because of this? Where can I find another partner who is proficient in all kinds of skills?” Pei Yichen said in a firm tone.

Jian Muyu: “…”

“So you’re just afraid that a hard worker like me will run away?” The slight emotion that had just flared up in Jian Muyu vanished.

“Ahem, that’s not the point. The point is, the food in this restaurant is truly delicious. Try this.” Pei Yichen immediately dropped the subject and offered Jian Muyu a dish.

Jian Muyu simply rolled her eyes.

Pei Yichen was right; the food in this restaurant was indeed quite good,

and Jian Muyu was very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Pei Yichen went to pay the bill,

but was told that someone had already paid for him.

“What? Already paid?” Pei Yichen was a little surprised.

“Yes, sir,” the waiter replied.

“What’s wrong?” Just then, Jian Muyu approached.

“Didn’t I tell you it was my treat? Why did you pay for it?” Pei Yichen frowned.

“I didn’t,” Jian Muyu shook her head innocently.

“You didn’t pay for it?” Pei Yichen looked at her with a burning gaze.

“I was with you the whole time. Unless I had the ability to clone myself, how could I have slipped away from under your nose and paid the bill?” “

Besides, you’re the one apologizing, why should I pay for anything?” Jian Muyu began.

“That’s right!” Pei Yichen nodded, then looked at the waiter. “May I ask who paid for me?”

He knew Jian Muyu wasn’t the type to be shy. If she said it wasn’t her, it definitely wasn’t her.

“It was a Mr. Xi. He’s a VIP client here, and he just said that from now on, Miss Jian’s meals will be charged directly to his account.”

The waiter, seemingly anticipating their inquiries, repeated his prepared instructions.

When they heard it was a Mr. Xi, their expressions suddenly changed.

Pei Yichen looked at Jian Muyu with a complicated expression.

She had only known one Mr. Xi in her life.

“I don’t know any Mr. Xi. I guess you made a mistake. Please settle my bill first.”

Jian Muyu didn’t know why Xi Peijue had suddenly paid for her, but she couldn’t accept the money!

“This…” The waitress couldn’t help but look apprehensive upon hearing Jian Muyu’s words.

This was an order from the boss, and if she couldn’t do it right, she might lose her job.

“Please help me with the bill.” But Jian Muyu was very insistent.

The waitress stood there, unsure what to do.

The next moment, the headphones in her ears lit up.

Hearing the instructions from the other end, the waitress breathed a sigh of relief.

With a smile, she took the card from Jian Muyu and processed the bill.

“Thank you.” Jian Muyu seemed unnoticed as she took the card and walked out of the restaurant.

Unbeknownst to Jian Muyu, a pair of eyes were following her closely from a distance.

Pei Yichen, walking behind, felt a sense of urgency and glanced back.

He saw a tall, straight man sitting in a window seat in the distance.

He couldn’t see his face clearly from a distance,

but the aura of authority he emanated made it clear to him that it was Xi Peijue.

Hadn’t Muyu said that their falling out was over?

How did he even have the time to pay for them?

Could it be that Xi Peijue has a tendency to be masochistic?

The more he abuses him, the harder it is to let go?

“Yichen?” Jian Muyu, who had already reached the door, noticed Pei Yichen still standing there and called out.

“Yeah.” Pei Yichen immediately averted his gaze and followed.

Only after the two figures disappeared through the door did Xi Peijue slowly withdraw his gaze.

Duan Qianhao, sitting across from him, curled his lips in interest.

“Speaking of which, your ex-wife doesn’t seem to appreciate your kindness.”

Xi Peijue’s face was sullen, and he remained silent.

“From the way she acted just now, it was as if she was afraid of being associated with you.”

“But she deliberately lured you to the love hotel, offered herself to you, and even fabricated such a lie to piss you off.”

“What is she planning?” Duan Qianhao was genuinely curious.

“Mind your own business first!” Xi Peijue gave him a warning look.

“I’m fine!” Duan Qianhao said loudly.

“Really? Then tell me, what did you give Guo Nanmeng to get that information from her?” Xi Peijue asked in a gloomy tone.

At the mention of Guo Nanmeng’s name, Duan Qianhao’s smile froze.

“How can you be so unwilling to take any loss? I’m not playing with you anymore.” Duan Qianhao stood up awkwardly, waved his hand, and left.

Xi Peijue, left alone at her seat, glanced up at the direction Jian Muyu had left.

Her and Pei Yichen’s interactions just now certainly didn’t seem like those of lovers.

There was more of the frankness and casualness between the two of them.

So…why did Jian Muyu lie to him?!

Xi Peijue’s eyes darkened.

After Jian Muyu left the hotel, he immediately pulled Pei Yichen into the car.

He had him park in a secluded area,

while he stared at the hotel entrance.

“What are you waiting for?” Pei Yichen looked at her with a puzzled look.

“Don’t make noise!” Jian Muyu just waved at him.

The next moment, she saw a familiar figure walking out of the restaurant.

Duan Qianhao!

“Duan Qianhao and Pei Yichen are inseparable. He came out from inside, which means that the Mr. Xi the waiter just mentioned is really Xi Peijue!”

After seeing what she wanted to see, Jian Muyu slowly sat back in her chair.

“You can tell it’s Xi Peijue without looking.” Pei Yichen was wondering what she was going to do.

Hearing this, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“But why did Xi Peijue pay for my bill? He obviously wanted to kill me before!” Jian Muyu frowned.

“Now that you mention this, I’m a little curious. Logically, you should hate Xi Peijue so much.”

“But why? I feel like he hated you before you humiliated Xi Peijue?” Pei Yichen asked.
