Chapter 500 - The CEO Who Shows up like a Phantom to Save a Beauty
Following a dreamless night, she woke up early the next day and took her leave after having breakfast. Once she was downstairs, she quickly spotted her new chauffeur.
“Good morning, Miss Pei!” The boy greeted her spiritedly as he opened the car door for her.
She smilingly nodded at him in return before she hopped into the car.
“Li Qi, you should stop calling me Miss Pei. It sounds weird.” She sat comfortably in the back seat. “You can just call my name.”
“That’s no good. How about I call you Sister Pei Ge?” He gave her a smile.
Unlike other women, she did not feel aversion to that form of address, so she easily nodded in acquiescence at him.
“Sister Pei Ge, last night, Brother Du said that I don’t need to fetch you, so I didn’t go.” Li Qi explained why he had not shown up last night.

She nervously entered the room for her morning lesson… only to come out later with a look of utter disbelief on her face.
By the time her last mentor left, she had become so shocked it almost seemed as if she would not recover from it. In fact, a long time passed first before she could eke out a bit of clarity.

Was that annoying fellow responsible for this? Did he say something to those proud and mighty teachers, which caused them to change their attitude toward me?
“Pei Ge.”
She was still thinking about this issue when the voice of the man in her heart and mind sounded.
“Ah!” She jolted backward in shock as she reflexively looked up. Standing in front of her was the man.
At the same time, she forgot that she was in the room for her etiquette lesson.
Since she had to practice her sitting posture here, the seats in this room had no backrests. Thus, when she jumped backward in her shock, there was nothing to support her weight, and her body continued to topple backward as a result.
“Careful!” The man, who was keeping tabs of her every move, quickly shouted this warning before he sprinted toward her with his hands outstretched to rescue her from falling…
