Chapter 51

Pei Yizhou 'Pei Nuo text messages immediately.

He raised an eyebrow slightly at the contents and smiled knowingly.

Pei Yizhou knew Pei Nuo's vocabulary was very extensive; she couldn't possibly type out these words. After much thought, she could only believe that Pei Chen could have gotten the information out of it.

He suddenly remembered that the kid seemed to be taking his younger siblings out for barbecue that night. Perhaps he was afraid that the kid would get close to An Xiang while he was away, so he asked Pei Nuo to be his scapegoat.

Pei Yizhou shook his head helplessly, opened his contacts, and sent a message to An Xiang.

[Pei Yizhou: Asleep?]

[An Xiang: No.]

[Pei Yizhou: What are you doing now?]

[An Xiang: Drawing.]

She can also draw?

Pei Yizhou couldn't help but think of the hand-drawn cartoon business cards at the milk tea shop. At first, she thought they were printed by someone else, but now she realized they were probably all made by her alone.

[Pei Yizhou: How are you and Zimo doing?]

[An Xiang: That's good. Zimo just went out for barbecue with Pei Chen and the others.]

Upon hearing this, Pei Yizhou finally understood.

It seems the one causing the trouble wasn't Pei Chen, but An Zimo. He smiled and asked again, "Have you eaten?"

[An Xiang: No.]

Pei Yizhou: Okay, wait for me.

After typing this message, Pei Yizhou contacted the hotel chef, then closed his phone, grabbed his suit jacket, and walked out of the office.

When Pei Yizhou arrived at An Xiang's home, the chefs also happened to be there. It was quite a grand affair, leaving An Xiang completely bewildered.

They bring their own ingredients, selecting only the freshest and highest quality materials, and even the red wine is a fine vintage.

An Xiang swallowed hard, pointing to the food cart in front of her, "This..."

Pei Yizhou side, said, "Dinner."

An Xiang, "... There's no need for that."

The two sat facing each other. The waiter who had come with them turned off all the lights in the room and lit two candles. The candlelight flickered, casting shadows on his face.

The dishes were served quickly, the ingredients were well-matched, and the presentation was exquisite, showing the chef's dedication.

The waiter poured red wine into a stemmed glass, An Xiang refuse. "I don't drink alcohol. There's cola in the fridge, that should do."

Pei Yizhou smiled faintly, "Then I'll switch to Coke too."

"It's alright, you drink." An Xiang glanced at the bottle of red wine on the table. This wine must cost at least six figures; wasting it would be shameful!

An Xiang the concept of being thrifty ingrained in her DNA. Pei Yizhou, with his gentle expression, did not refute her.

The chefs left quickly, and even the waiters wisely went downstairs, leaving only the two of them in the entire space.

Perhaps it was because the environment was too dim, An Xiang vaguely felt something ambiguous.

"Um... Mr. Pei, you didn't need to come all this way." She had originally planned to eat instant noodles with pickled vegetables, and secretly had a bag of Weilong spicy strips. Just thinking about it made her feel like life was perfect, but... she looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her with a drooping mouth, her brows furrowing again and again.

An Xiang felt bad about disappointing Pei Yizhou, so she picked up her knife and fork and painstakingly cut her steak.

You can call me by my name.

"Huh?" An Xiang a little dazed, like a hamster.

The man's voice was cool, but his eyes were gentle. "Mr. Pei, you seem a bit distant."

"..." She wanted to be friendly, but couldn't think of any other way to address him besides "Mr. Pei." Pei Yizhou found it a little strange that Yizhou was too intimate; "child... child's father?" was even stranger.

An Xiang spent half a day racking her brains over how to address him.

Pei Yizhou picked up his wine glass and sipped it slowly. Although he couldn't taste the rich aroma of the red wine, he could still feel its smoothness.

Perhaps it was the enclosed space, or perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, but Pei Yizhou felt hot, exhaled a breath of alcohol, and loosened his tie with his slender fingertips.

"Mr. Pei, are you drunk?" His expression was strange, An Xiang couldn't ignore it, so she put down her knife and fork and asked with concern.

The man's face was flushed, and his eyes were glazed over, making him look very much like someone who was drunk.

Pei Yizhou shook his head. His alcohol tolerance wasn't as good as others, but he wasn't at the point where he'd pass out after just a couple of sips.

An Xiang was still a little worried, so she limped to the sink, soaked an ice towel, walked over to Pei Yizhou, and placed it on his forehead.

That might be better.

Pei Yizhou was momentarily stunned, the familiar fragrance filling the entire surrounding space.

He slightly raised his eyes and saw An Xiang's snow-white forearms, slender neck, and graceful curves in her shoulders and neck. The veins beneath her porcelain-white skin throbbed gently, tempting him with each beat.

Pei Yizhou's eyes were hazy, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

He felt a longing arise, and deep within his gaze, hidden beneath indifference, burned with desire.

"Mr. Pei, are you feeling better?"

An Xiang's voice was beside me, yet it also seemed so far away.

Pei Yizhou closed his eyes, trying to calm down, but his mind became increasingly muddled. His upper body swayed slightly as he realized that today should be his period of intense desire. During this time, Vampire Clan would crave blood and sex.

--It wasn't a good day.

Pei Yizhou had remained calm and composed for decades, and his loss of taste had spared him such worries. However, he forgot that the different kind of An Xiang would stir up all the desires deep within his soul.

He bit his tongue hard, the pain temporarily clearing his mind.

Pei Yizhou struggled to his feet, trying his best to remain calm. He didn't dare look at her, his gaze drifting. "I'm going back to the company first. Goodnight." After saying that, he closed his eyes, rubbed his throbbing temples, and walked unsteadily towards the door. However, after only two steps, his body swayed and he was about to collapse.

An Xiang caught him before he fell. The man was heavy, and even though he tried to support her, his weight still made it difficult for An Xiang to move, not to mention that one of her legs was injured.

"No rush, let me help you to the sofa to rest for a bit."

"Don't..."

Pei Yizhou's breath was hot, and his scalding breath kept spraying around his ears, causing his body to tremble briefly.

An Xiang only then realized something was wrong. Vampire Clan have those few days every month... he... he couldn't possibly...

An Xiang felt increasingly certain that this was possible, and she couldn't help but panic. For a moment, she didn't know whether to let go or not. She stood there frozen for several seconds, supporting him, until her legs couldn't take it anymore. Only then did she muster her strength and lead him to lie down on the sofa.

Pei Yizhou clutched at the front of his shirt, which had loosened several buttons in the process, revealing a firm chest, sexy collarbones, and skin flushed with a light red. His blood seemed to have become more fragrant and rich due to the changes in his body.

An Xiang smacked her lips, watching Pei Yizhou's current state from a distance.

"Mr. Pei, would you like some duck blood?" She had just bought some fresh duck blood today and was planning to make duck blood and vermicelli soup, but she didn't know if the duck blood would have any effect on Pei Yizhou.

Pei Yizhou frowned deeply, his breathing short and disordered.

Do you have a blood servant? I can help you make contact.

Generally speaking, sucking blood can alleviate the symptoms. A wealthy family like Pei Yizhou's would have at least three, four, or five blood servants.

"It's alright, don't worry about me." Pei Yizhou finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

An Xiang was in a dilemma; this was her home, how could she not care?

Time passed quickly in silence. An Xiang's mind went blank. Seeing that Pei Yizhou's condition was getting worse, she couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly contacted Pei Chen, who was closest to Pei Yizhou.

The phone finally connected after two rings, but the background noise was quite loud.

An Xiang to speak through the noise, "Pei Chen, have you finished eating?"

"Oh dear, this place is packed! It's not open yet, An Xiang, if you want some, I can get some for you."

"No, it's your great-grandfather..."

"What? My great-grandfather wants to eat? Fine, go ahead." Pei Chen curled his lip, seeing that the lamb skewers on their table were already grilled, and not wanting to waste any more time, he quickened his pace, "An Xiang, I'll talk to you later. It's too noisy here. Nuo Nuo said she's going to play a claw machine before going home. If we get back late, Zimo can stay at my place, so as not to bother you."

"No, I..."

beep--

A busy signal.

An Xiang at the phone after it was disconnected.

She stiffly turned to look at Pei Yizhou, cautiously approaching him. Too nervous, she involuntarily licked her dry lips. "Um..." An Xiang shrank back, asking softly, "Would you... reluctantly give me a little kiss?"

Pei Yizhou narrowed his phoenix eyes, and his gaze suddenly became clear.
