Deliberate seduction, Mrs. Pei also wants a divorce tonight

Chapter 139 Worthy of Mrs. Pei

These past few days, the most sophisticated and modern villa in southern Dubai has been so quiet that even mosquitoes won’t fly in.

The news outside is buzzing, but this house seems like a secluded paradise.

Lu Qi was sitting in the yard. On the garden table were bunches of out-of-season lotus pods, which were being peeled one by one in Lu Qi's slender white hands.

I peeled a few lotus seeds and threw them into the basket.

She knows how to decompress.

Pei Yao pushed open the glass door of the backyard while talking on the phone, and heard someone speaking English with a thick Malacca accent.

"We've caught him. I can only give Rashid half a day. Whether you can get the answer from him or not, you have to figure it out on your own. Tomorrow I will hand him over to the UN and send him back to Ajman."

Pei Yao hummed and said nothing more. He hung up the phone and sent a few text messages.

When Lu Qi saw him come out, he looked up and continued to peel lotus seeds.

I've heard him making a lot of phone calls these days, sometimes to Beijing, sometimes to Southeast Asia, sometimes to the United States, sometimes to the UAE, and sometimes to South Africa.

After hearing it so much, he no longer had the energy to think about it. He didn't need her to worry about him.

After sending the message under the corridor, Pei Yao walked into the yard and sat down opposite.

He picked up a lotus pod, squeezed out the lotus seeds and threw them into the basket which was already half full.

"What to make? Lotus seed soup tonight?" They sounded like an ordinary couple discussing what to make for dinner.

"Would you dare to eat it if I made it?"

Lu Qi looked up at him with a smile, and he seemed to have the impression that she had no intention of running away at all.

Originally, after returning from that night, he thought Lu Qi's reaction was the same as when she was about to leave five years ago, but a few days passed and she didn't go out at all, just staying with him every day.

Even the lotus pods were delivered by Chen Ang.

Pei Yao teased, "As long as you dare to make it, I dare to eat it."

Lu Qi’s cooking skills have really not improved. He can only cook instant noodles. The other things he cooks can really make people sick.

She seemed to be well aware of her shortcomings and never went into the kitchen, but one of them had to cook during these two days.

"Why do you want Jamila to go back?" Pei Yao asked casually.

Not only Jamila, but also Zahan was called away by Lu Qi. Even Leon, Lu Qi asked him to live in the school recently and found a trustworthy teacher to take care of him.

This is to make it easier to clear the house so she can run away?

However, after hearing Pei Yao's question, Lu Qi looked up inexplicably and glanced at him: "Don't you still have a layer of uncertainty?"

"So." Pei Yao squeezed a lotus pod in his hand, and all the lotus seeds fell into his palm. He threw them into the basket one by one.

"Isn't this what I, as the mistress of the house, should do? If there's trouble at home, keeping servants around is a precautionary measure in case there's a fire in the backyard. Besides, if they're sincere about following you, you can't let them go to hell with you."

After Lu Qi finished speaking, he took a sip of the fruit wine he brewed.

She can't cook, but she is good at making wine. After fermenting it for a month, she took it out to taste it. The taste was too light and lacked something.

Pei Yao held the last lotus seed in his palm: "What did you say?"

I never thought that Lu Qi dismissed everyone just because she was a wife and wanted to manage the household. Wasn't she...going to leave?

"As long as I'm in this house, I naturally have to do these things. Others call me Mrs. Pei, and I have to be worthy of this title."

Yes, I know she deserves it. She can manage such a big company as Tianyu, so why can't she manage a family? It just depends on whether she wants to do it.

Does she really call this place home?

Pei Yao's eyes were dark, and no emotion could be heard. He said calmly, "You haven't thought about going with them."

Lu Qi raised his head again, looking like a psychopath: "If I leave, what will you do? You want me and my husband to live together in the forest and escape from disaster? Am I so unreliable, Pei Yao?"

I was convinced by her, but I always felt something was wrong.

This statement is more like a marital obligation, not because she loves him.

Before Pei Yao could think about it, Lu Qi pried his hand open, took the last lotus seed, stood up with the basket in his arms, and walked towards the kitchen: "I'll go wash it and make some wine."

I knew she couldn't be cooking.

In the kitchen, the faucet was turned on and Lu Qi just put the vegetable bowl into the water.

The person behind her came over, turned off the faucet, and hugged her waist from behind, saying softly: "I am a mean person and I am judging you by your own standards."

He had to admit, he thought she would run away.

But it wasn't because of this incident that I had this inexplicable feeling. After being run away by her twice, I already had a conditioned reflex.

But judging by what she said today and her behavior over the past two days, it seemed like he was really overthinking it.

I haven't slept for the past two days, not because I'm bothered by things outside, but because I'm afraid that once I fall asleep and wake up, there will be no one around me.

Pei Yao was so sleepy that he got a little irritable and he hadn't spoken to her properly the whole day.

It's like finding a way out and getting off on my own.

Hearing this, Lu Qi paused, then smiled again: "Indeed, he is a villain."

He was so mean that she believed he really loved her. He was so mean that she clearly discovered the secret but didn't want to leave him at this time.

Lu Qi accidentally learned about Fina during the murder case a few days ago and looked up Fina's information.

Fina used to be Mercy's doctor and always opposed Fatima. Later, her father was suspected of embezzling public funds and she was reduced to working odd jobs in a club.

Lu Qi also had some guesses, which could be called his own fantasies.

Did I stay in Dubai? I just forgot.

But I checked Yan Yang's records.

Yan Yang replied: [There is no record of you being called Fatima, nor is there any record of you having been to the Middle East.]

So Fatima is not the same person as her, but the person Pei Yao once loved deeply.

Lu Qi couldn't help it, and finally investigated this woman named Fatima. There were not many records, not even a photo.

But a few key points are fatal and related to Pei Yao.

I never thought that Pei Yao broke into the rebel base for her and risked his life to be infected with a deadly virus for her. Even this villa is under Fatima's name!

He bought it for her!

Originally, Lu Qi thought she could be magnanimous and that everything was in the past, but she unexpectedly discovered the basement by chance.

Inside, carefully displayed in a glass case, is a fluffy Capybara that is meticulously groomed every month.

She said, "Why would he like Capybara? It turns out it's all because of his white moonlight."

He never let it go from the beginning to the end, so why would he bother provoking me?!

Moreover, Lu Qi now has an even more terrifying idea——

Fina mistook her for Fatima at first. Is there a possibility that Pei Yao came to provoke her because he regarded her as a substitute for Fatima!

Lu Qi calmed his heart, which was about to explode, and turned on the faucet again.

Soon, the person behind her turned down the water flow and tied her waist tightly: "Qiqi, are you worried about something?"
