Chapter 26
“Xiaoyue, are you alright?” Pei Ge ran toward Liu Yue and carefully helped her up. “Are your legs injured?”
Regaining her balance, Liu Yue worked her ankles first before she shook her head. “I don’t think so.”
Pei Ge sighed in relief when she saw that Liu Yue was uninjured. “You should be more careful.”
Blinking her eyes, Liu Yue grinned. “I saw you running pretty fast, too.”
“Huh?” Pei Ge looked at Liu Yue in confusion.
“Just now, I saw you run out from there as though you’ve seen a ghost. The speed you ran at is much faster than mine.” Liu Yue pointed toward the stairway exit as she teased Pei Ge.
Pei Ge quickly got what she meant and laughed awkwardly. Although she did not want to continue this topic, Liu Yue seemed to have a lot to say about it.
Obviously… that annoying male host would promptly fire her!
While thinking of that, Pei Ge could not help but groan.
Luckily, this young lady here has such good luck and is quick-witted enough. If not, I would surely be dead today!
Pei Ge triumphantly smirked as she returned to her room, her eyes filled with contentment. She picked up the hand phone that was on the bed and called a number.
“Hey, stupid Ge Ge! You finally remembered to call me!” The moment the call got through, Tang Xiaoyu’s upbeat voice came through the receiver.
“Er… Sorry, Xiaoyu. I’m really busy recently,” Pei Ge apologized, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
She had indeed not called Tang Xiaoyu for days. The reason was that she had been too busy recently. Every day, after coming back from work, she would immediately fall asleep the moment she lay on her bed.
“Hmph!” Tang Xiaoyu grunted, “Forget it. I’ll forgive you this once since you just found a new job.”
“Thank you so much for your kindness, my mistress!” Pei Ge teasingly laughed.
“Little Pei, is there anything interesting happening recently?” Tang Xiaoyu cracked up at Pei Ge’s ingratiating words and continued the joke in her reply.
“Sigh… Nothing interesting. But I’ve experienced a few unlucky things.” Pei Ge turned to lie flat on her stomach, depressed.
“Hm? What happened? Who bullied our Ge Ge?” Tang Xiaoyu raised her voice a little, her tone filled with concern.
Pei Ge’s lips curled up as she softly replied, “Do you still remember that incident at Bar Vista that I’ve told you about—”
“Ahhh! That one-night stand!” Tang Xiaoyu immediately reacted.
“…My elder sister here, can you please tone down your excitement? Do you really have to have such a big reaction?” Pei Ge speechlessly rolled her eyes at Tang Xiaoyu’s loud shriek.
“You don’t have to be scared. I’m living at an apartment for singles, and the soundproofing here is great,” Tang Xiaoyu assured, and then she excitedly asked, “What happened next?”
“Sigh…” Pei Ge depressingly said, “I thought he was a male host, then. Turns out he wasn’t.”
“Huh? Not a male host? Then, what is he?” Tang Xiaoyu asked, surprised.
“…The new CEO of our company,” Pei Ge unwillingly replied.
The phone went silent. Immediately following this was hysterical laughter. “Pwa ha ha ha ha!”
Hearing Tang Xiaoyu’s laughter, Pei Ge depressingly asked, “What is so funny?”
“Ha ha! That is what’s funny! I cannot do it anymore! My stomach is hurting so much from laughing!” After laughing for quite some time, Tang Xiaoyu adjusted her tone and said in a solemn manner, “Ge Ge, our chance is here!”
“What?” Pei Ge asked, dumbfounded.
“You are the woman who slept with the CEO! This is fate! Isn’t this a sign for you to marry into a rich and influential family through romance?!” Tang Xiaoyu grinned happily.
“…I’m going to sleep.”
“Ge Ge! Wait—”
Tang Xiaoyu wanted to continue on, yet Pei Ge resolutely hung up on her.
Indeed, this kind of things shouldn’t be told to anyone. Only I should know about it.
