Transmigrated into a goddess from another world, and criticized the King of Yan for loving her like

Su Qingci's heart was pounding like thunder. She had never expected such a big mess to happen. She almost lost her life.

Originally, she had carefully planned a drama: find a man with a hideous face to pretend to be a vicious robber, and then pretend to be weak and terrified and run to Pei Ji for help.

Once the crisis was over, she could naturally invite him to lunch to express her gratitude for saving her life, and take the opportunity to get to know each other.

However, the reality was completely different from her expectations, and all sorts of situations caught her off guard.

At this moment, Pei Ji's hands were still gently on her shoulders. Su Qingci came back to her senses as if waking up from a dream, and took a step back unnoticed.

After all, this is a busy street, and in order to attract Pei Ji's attention today, she deliberately did not wear a veil.

At this moment, it is detrimental to their reputation for a man and a woman to be arguing on the street.

"The situation just now was really critical. Thanks to you for your help, I am very grateful." Su Qingci calmed down and spoke calmly.

"You're welcome, young lady. I'm just helping you."

Pei Ji silently withdrew his hand that was hanging in the air and responded.

"I haven't asked for your name yet, sir?" Su Qingci asked softly.

"My name is Pei Ji." Pei Ji said calmly.

"Pei Ji... Could it be that you are the eldest son of the Marquis of Jianyi?" A hint of surprise flashed in Su Qingci's eyes.

"That's right, young lady actually knows my identity?" Pei Ji looked at her with some surprise.

Su Qingci saluted him and said, "My father is the Right Prime Minister Su Songqi. I have several brothers at home who are about your age. I occasionally hear them mention it at home."

Pei Ji: “So that’s how it is.”

"Sir, you have helped me twice today. I wonder if I can have a chance to treat you to lunch as a way of repaying you for saving my life today."

Pei Ji hesitated for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's not convenient today. I have an appointment with a good friend to have dinner together today. How about... another day?"

Before Su Qingci could speak, a voice she didn't want to hear sounded at an inopportune time behind her.

"Brother Pei, what's going on?"

Pei Ji turned around and explained to Lu Huan what had just happened.

Lu Huan's eyes fell on Su Qingci, and he said thoughtfully, "Another life-saving favor."

The words he said were light, but they were very heavy in Su Qingci's heart.

"How about this, let Miss Su treat us to a meal, and I can take advantage of it too," he suggested.

"After all, it's a life-saving favor, right~ Miss Su?"

It was obvious what Lu Huan said was a hint at her.

It was all a life-saving favor. She gave the embroidered handkerchief for him to the prince to wipe his hands. Later, she lost her temper and offended Lu Huan with her careless words.

More importantly, he happened to run into what happened between her and Pei Ji today.

They both saved each other's lives, but she treated Lu Huan differently. It would not sound good no matter how she told others about it.

Pei Ji looked at Su Qingci, wanting to ask for her opinion, "What do you think, Miss Su? If you don't want to, how about we treat you to dinner next time?"

Lu Huan looked at her with heavy eyes, and Su Qingci felt a little guilty.

She smiled, pretending not to know Lu Huan, and carried out her goal of getting to know Pei Ji to the end.

"Since you are Mr. Pei's good friend, let's go together."

Lu Huan looked at the two of them chatting and laughing, and his calm face could no longer be maintained. An overwhelming fire of jealousy surged in his dark eyes.

……

After entering the restaurant's private room, Su Qingci naturally sat next to Pei Ji.

Lu Huan, on the other hand, was sitting opposite Su Qingci.

“I don’t come here often, and I don’t know what you like to eat, how about Mr. Pei come and order the dishes?

Pei Ji nodded: "Okay, I'm familiar with Ziyi's taste, so I'll order the dishes. Does Miss Su have any dietary restrictions?"

Su Qingci: "I don't like fish and coriander, but everything else is fine."

Pei Ji said with some surprise: "That's a coincidence, I don't like fish and coriander either."

How could it be a coincidence? She had found out Pei Ji's preferences clearly before coming here.

Su Qingci covered her face with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "That's really a coincidence."

Lu Huan watched the two people in front of him chatting and laughing with each other, as if they had known each other for a long time and were very close.

Ironically, however, this was only their first meeting.

What made Lu Huan even more annoyed was that Su Qingci simply ignored him and treated him like air.

You know, not long ago, it was he who helped Su Qingci escape from danger, but today she is so partial to him.

Lu Huan watched the interaction between Su Qingci and Pei Ji and felt that Su Qingci was being particularly pretentious today.

Every movement she made revealed a deliberate feeling, as if she was trying to please Pei Ji, cater to Pei Ji, and try to win his favor.

At this time, Pei Ji said, "Miss Su, this wild mushroom pigeon soup is delicious. Try it."

After saying that, he personally served Su Qingci a bowl of hot soup and handed it to her meticulously.

Su Qingci smiled slightly and responded softly: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Pei."

Just as Su Qingci reached out to take the bowl of soup, her fingertips lightly touched Pei Ji's fingers, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

In an instant, a faint red layer appeared on Pei Ji's earlobe.

Lu Huan took it all in, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Ah.

Could it be that these two were deliberately acting affectionate in front of him?

The meal was tasteless... or perhaps he was the only one who found it tasteless.

Lu Huan felt like an outsider. There were three of them dining and chatting together, but the atmosphere was strange, as if he was the only one who was superfluous.

……

After lunch, Su Qingci took the initiative to pay the bill. The three of them walked out of the restaurant together, and Su Qingci suggested going home.

"I remember that Master Pei came out today to reminisce with Master Lu, so I won't bother you."

She intended to continue to be considerate and considerate, and it would be a pity to stay with him forever, so she said this.

Lu Huan, who had been holding back for the whole afternoon, finally spoke up at this time, "Brother Pei, I just remembered that I have something else to do in the mansion. How about we get together next time?"

Pei Ji frowned slightly and asked, "What's so urgent?"

"Teacher said he would come to the mansion to see me today, but I forgot. I guess... he should be here soon. I'm really sorry."

Pei Ji smiled knowingly: "No problem, no problem, we'll meet again next time."

Lu Huan looked at Su Qingci, "Didn't Miss Su come here in the mansion's carriage? The General's Mansion and the Su Mansion are on the same route, how about... I give Miss Su a ride?"
