Chapter 23

Must Be Me?

Pei Yuchen’s eyes darkened. Just when Ning Mengmeng thought that he would not answer, a few words drifted into her ears.

“Because I can’t do it without you.”

Ning Mengmeng’s eyes flickered with surprise. “Huh?”

What did he mean by he couldn’t do without her?

The next moment, her eyes sparkled as if she was joking. “Hubby, do you mean it has to be me?”

Ning Mengmeng was just saying. She didn’t intend to let the man respond.

However, Pei Yuchen replied very seriously.

“Yes.”

Ning Mengmeng was shocked. She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

“Hubby…”

She wanted to say something, but Pei Yuchen hugged her and patted her back gently. “Go to sleep, okay?”

Ning Mengmeng fell silent for a moment.

However, she was very puzzled. What did he mean by saying that she was the only one?

..

Pei Yuchen was on a business trip and had been away for three days.

Ning Mengmeng had been extremely uncomfortable these few days. Although they had only been together for two days, Ning Mengmeng felt very uncomfortable leaving him.

When Ning Mengmeng was about to eat breakfast, she couldn’t help but call Pei Yuchen.

Aunt Qi was serving Ning Mengmeng breakfast.

“Young Madam, it’s time for breakfast.”

Ning Mengmeng placed the phone to her ear and glanced at the vegetable porridge in Aunt Qi’s hands. “Oh, okay.”

The other party quickly picked up the call. “You’re awake.”

“Hubby, you didn’t miss me. You haven’t contacted me these past few days.”

Ning Mengmeng pouted, looking a little unhappy as she walked toward the dining table.

As for Pei Yuchen, he was in a meeting room. Dozens of people were dumbfounded as they watched the man in a suit suddenly interrupt the meeting.

Boss Pei interrupted the meeting to answer the call?

These people were all a little dumbfounded. They even wondered if they had seen wrongly. Some of them rubbed their eyes with their hands and felt that they had gone blind.

Moreover, were Boss Pei’s lips curled up? Wasn’t it?

They didn’t see wrongly!

Heavens!

Who was it that Boss Pei was so concerned about?

Everyone looked at Pei Yuchen but did not dare to ask a single word.

Pei Yuchen replied softly.

“Yes.”

As for the female lead, who everyone was curious about, she was very dissatisfied. She clenched her phone tightly.

“What do you mean? I think you just didn’t miss me!”

The accusation was a little loud. Those who were closer to Pei Yuchen heard it and were dumbfounded.

Oh my god, it was really a woman.

Boss Pei had a woman?

But who was this woman? Wasn’t she too bold?

Oh, no, no, no. Why would Boss Pei pamper a woman so much?

Who was this woman? They were going to bribe her in advance!

Ning Mengmeng pouted when she didn’t get a response from Pei Yuchen. However, she knew that he wasn’t good at talking about these things, so she changed the topic. “What are you doing?”

“Meeting.”

Ning Mengmeng’s eyes widened slightly. She held her phone as if she had not reacted.

But the next moment, she took a deep breath. So, he let everyone wait and answered her call?

“You picked up my call during the meeting?!”

“Yes.”

F*ck!

Ning Mengmeng’s face turned red. Was everyone in the meeting room watching Pei Yuchen on the phone?

Or did he throw everyone out to make a phone call?

Hiss…

“Then go ahead and do your work. Remember to call me! Otherwise, I’ll ignore you.”

After saying that, Ning Mengmeng hung up the phone in a panic. Her voice was very soft as she was afraid that the people near Pei Yuchen would hear her.

As for Pei Yuchen…
