"President Pei, you finally made it. If you hadn't come, I can't imagine what more Wen Mian would have had to endure from those attacks," Mo Lingtian remarked with a mix of concern and emotion.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zhiyao gave him a sidelong glare.
That one look was enough to silence Mo Lingtian from saying anything more out of place.
"I heard everything you just said."
Pei Zhiyao enunciated every word with an intense gaze, as if to assign blame.
But after he spoke, he turned his gaze back to Wen Mian.
While making sure Wen Mian was safe, he also couldn't help but complain about Mo Lingtian.
"You just said that Wen Mian is your girlfriend and that I'm just her brother. I heard what you said. When did Wen Mian become your girlfriend?"
His questioning made Mo Lingtian gasp for air.
The man looked at Pei Zhiyao tremblingly, unsure of how to explain.
But the words had been blurted out in a moment of heated defense for Wen Mian.
