Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Ze was very dissatisfied with Pei Xin’s words. He pinched Pei Xin’s cheeks even harder.
“Pei Xin, who allowed you to beg me so humbly?! Where’s your previous coquettish self?”
“Although you and Ling Xue were mistakenly switched at birth, you’ve always been an outstanding student since you were young. As long as you wanted to learn how to dance and play piano, you made sure to be the best of the best at it.
“Your own merits have nothing to do with the Pei family.”
Pei Xin didn’t understand.
Why was Li Ze dissatisfied with her?
What right did she have to be loud and proud now?
She smiled bitterly.
“President Li, I don’t know why you’re angry.

“The Pei family hates me. They think that 1 stole Ling Xue’s life and stole the comfortable life that should belong to her.
“Lu Li hates me too. He thinks I betrayed him and had a bastard child with another man.
“Those who used to chase after me wanted to step on me.
“I’m just a speck of dust in the soil now. What right do 1 have to be proud?”
Li Ze saw the sadness and despair in her eyes.
He slowly released his grip and took a deep breath. He said to her solemnly, “From tomorrow onwards, you’ll be my assistant. You will have to work by my side. I won’t let anyone bully you ever again.”
“Why?” Pei Xin didn’t understand.
She had rejected Li Za many times. Wouldn’t Li Ze want to take revenge on her?
Li Ze awkwardly avoided Pei Xin’s gaze.
Five years ago, Pei Xin was framed and imprisoned. He knew that Pei Xin was framed, but he had the ability to get Pei Xin out of prison.
However, he hated Pei Xin for rejecting him time and time again. He wanted Pei Xin to suffer some setbacks in prison and to watch her pride get shattered.
He wanted Pei Xin to know the consequences of offending him.
However, looking at Pei Xin now, Li Ze deeply regrets his choice of not helping her sooner.
The Pei Xin in front of him indeed did not have an ounce of arrogance in her. Her withered figure looked like she could fall sick with a gentle breeze, making his heartache.
In the five years that Pei Xin was in prison, there were countless women around him who tried to appease him.
Each of them was more or less Pei Xin’s shadow.
They were all as proud as Pei Xin and had excellent looks. Some had eyes like Pei Xin and some had voices like Pei Xin.
However, these people were not Pei Xin.
Even back then, he thought that he could finally let go of Pei Xin while she was in prison.
Only after seeing Pei Xin today did Li Ze understand that not only was he unable to let go of Pei Xin, but Pei Xin had instead entered his heart once again.
He had never felt heartache for a woman before.
Li Ze did not take the initiative to speak again, so Pei Xin silently lowered her head and sat quietly in her seat.
Li Ze occasionally glanced at her, but Pei Xin seemed to be immersed in her own world and did not say a word.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt looked like the new Pei Xin seemed to be afraid of interacting with anyone.
Li Ze had arranged for her to stay in a high-end residential area. People who were not from the residential area were not allowed to enter and exit as they pleased.
“I don’t need to live in such a good house. I just need a bed. That will do for me.” Pei Xin was a little scared of living in such a luxurious place.
Li Ze snorted.
“You’re going to be my assistant. It’ll be convenient for you to go to work here. I just don’t want you to delay my work. If others find out that my assistant lives in a bad place, wouldn’t that be a slap to my image?”
Chen Sheng also advised her. “Ms. Pei Xin, please listen to President Li. This is just one of President Li’s properties. It’s empty anyway. It’s better for you to live here than to find somewhere more rowdy.”
Pei Xin couldn’t refuse and nodded.
She thought that Li Ze and Chen Sheng would leave together. She did not expect that only Chen Sheng would leave, but Li Ze would stay.
“You’re not going home?” Pei Xin looked surprised. She stared at Li Ze with wide eyes.
“You’re my assistant.” Li Ze smiled. “As such, you should take care of my daily life. I’m a little tired from picking you up today. Cook something for me.”
Pei Xin didn’t say anything. She just nodded and walked towards the kitchen.
Li Ze looked at her leaving figure in a daze.
He had anticipated Pei Xin to fight back when she was ordered to work by him, but he never thought that Pei Xin would be so indifferent.
He checked his phone and saw that Chen Sheng had sent him some information..
