At this moment, the phone rang.
In the suite Ning Xue stayed, there were three phones, one of them was in the bathroom.
“Hello, who is it?”
“It’s me, Pei Xu. Where are you now?”
“In my room.”
“I’m coming over.”
“Huh?”
This was unexpected.
Pei Xu sensed her hesitation and asked. “Now’s not a good time?”
It definitely wasn’t.
Besides, if Pei Xu didn’t follow her, she could have sneaked out of the casino by herself.
“Of course not. Mr Pei, please come.”
“Why don’t we meet downstairs? I’ll take you out to eat.”
..
Pei Xu’s car pulled over outside the hotel lobby.
He got out of the car and waited for Ning Xue.
He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, looking very handsome.
Ning Xue came out wearing a light blue t-shirt, paired with a white short skirt. She was beautiful and charming.
Ning Xue saw him and walked over.
“Young Master Pei, I don’t think you asking me out just to eat with me, am I right?”
“I have a proposal for you. Are you interested?”
Pei Xu smiled faintly; it was hard guess his intention.
Ning Xue did not say yes or no.
“Allright, if that’s the case, buy me some food first. I still haven’t eaten yet, I’m starving.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“I want to eat steak.”
“OK.”
Pei Xu took Ning Xue to an expensive steak restaurant near the hotel. They chose a booth by the window to sit.
This booth was for customers who came to eat and discuss business.
“I’ll order us some wine first. How about that?”
Pei Xu ordered two bottles of 1982 Lafite, and handed one to Ning Xue.
“Thank you.”
Ning Xue opened the bottle cap and poured a glass of red wine. She put the glass close to her nose and sniffed it. She closed her eyes and took a small sip. Then she slowly opened her eyes, looking intoxicated.
Ning Xue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked out of the window; it was as if she was seeing a beautiful view.
Pei Xu asked.
“Do you like gourmet Food and fine?”
“Hmm.”
“Very good. Let’s be friends. We can eat together in the future.”
Ning Xue looked at Pei Xu.
“Mr. Pei, you’re so funny.”
“No, I am serious. I really like you. I’d like you to be my girlfriend.”
“Mr. Pei, I am afraid I’m not interested in any man now.”
For a moment they both fell silent.
Pei Xu changed the topic. “Have you seen Ares in the movie ‘My Mercenary’? He’s a very strong special forces soldier.”
Ning Xue was slightly taken by surprise. “Yes, I’ve seen him. He’s not bad.”
Pei Xu asked, “What do you think of me?”
Ning Xue looked up at him. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and dark, which made her look exceptionally beautiful.
Looking at her beautiful eyes, Pei Xu felt his heart beat faster.
He felt his throat was dry. His Adam’s apple kept moving up and down. His eyes sparkled with a strange light. There was a fierce look in his eyes.
It was hard for him to imagine that a woman with such an innocent look could be so sexy and seductive as well.
Ning Xue replied softly.
“It doesn’t matter what I think of you. Let’s talk about the proposal.”
“Do you really not like me? I feel that you are very suitable to be my girlfriend.”
Pei Xu looked at Ning Xue with a serious expression. His eyes flashed with a burning passion.
“I don’t want to continue talking about this. We are not suitable for each other.”
“Why? I can give you whatever you want.”
“I’d like to thank you for that, Mr. Pei. However, I don’t need money.”
Pei Xu was staring at Ning Xue.
“Are you sure you don’t need money?”
“Yes, I’m sure. No matter how much money you have, it’s not what I am after. I’ve never thought of taking your money.”
Pei Xu now looked a little awkward, but he still tried to suppress his anger and said, “Alright, I’ll try harder to make you my woman.”
Pei Xu did not say anything further. But his heart was already burning like a raging fire.
For years, he had been surrounded by all kinds of women. And no matter they’re blond and sexy, or cute and sweet, they all had one thing in common: they wanted to climb into his bed and be his woman.
He had never thought a woman would say no to him.
He had thought he could have any woman as long as he liked. If he asked, they would climb into his bed willingly.
But today he met an exception.
An exceptional woman whom he felt deeply attracted to and wanted keep her by his side..
