Chapter 733: Chapter 627: Pei Sheng: There are quite a few perverts around me_2

Pei Sheng: “…”

Watching Pei Sheng’s evasive gaze, Xu Shuo’s brows slightly furrowed, “How old is she this year?”

Pei Sheng: “Around twenty-six…”

This is still a May-December romance.

Xu Shuo’s mouth twitched, “Where is she from?”

Pei Sheng pondered, “She should be from the south, I think she sounds like she’s from Yang City.”

...

“…Where does she work?”

“In Mingzhu District I think, it seems like she goes wherever someone asks her to sing.”

“Where does she live?”

“Ahem, probably also in Mingzhu District.”

“What’s her name?”

Finally having an answer he knew, Pei Sheng instantly perked up, confidently saying, “Angela!”

Outside the office.

Los, holding some documents, paused as he passed by.

Inside the office.

Xu Shuo clicked his tongue, “So, you don’t know where she lives, don’t know her exact job, don’t know where she’s from, don’t even know her exact age, you know nothing, only a name?”

Pei Sheng: “…”

Xu Shuo’s mouth curved into a smirk, suddenly leaning in close to him and saying, “You couldn’t possibly have actually failed to win her over, could you?”

Pei Sheng: “…”

The smug smile on Pei Sheng’s face had gradually morphed into embarrassment. Under Xu Shuo’s piercing gaze, he chuckled awkwardly, “Ha, anyway, I’ll get her sooner or later.”

Knowing that this kid wasn’t truly in love, Xu Shuo reluctantly let go of his concern.

He propped his chin and said leisurely, “Looks like you’ve tried all the moves you could, still didn’t win the girl over, so she probably isn’t your target anymore.”

Pei Sheng immediately bristled, defiantly jutting out his neck, “How could I not win her over! I have looks and money, she’s definitely just playing hard to get. There’s no woman I can’t charm!”

“You never did charm the high school beauty queen,” Xu Shuo said.

“Why bring up such old news!”

“A year ago, you had your sights on President Wang’s daughter, and you didn’t charm her either.”

Xu Shuo paused suddenly at this point.

Speaking of President Wang’s daughter, although she was beautiful, she was actually quite old, but because she was a street dance instructor, she appeared very lively.

Then, because President Wang was planning to acquire their game, he had taken Pei Sheng with him on business, and they just happened to meet that girl.

After returning, he heard Pei Sheng launched into passionate pursuit, but alas, he failed to charm her.

Xu Shuo suddenly looked at Pei Sheng with a mischievous gleam in his eye, saying, “Your taste, it wouldn’t happen to be for women older than yourself, would it?”

Pei Sheng immediately got flustered, “Don’t spread rumors about me!”

Xu Shuo: “Oh—”

There truly was no one Pei Sheng wanted to date at the moment; it was only when he really fancied a girl that he would come to them to boast.

It seems that what he boasted about, were always older sisters, though.

Seeing his boasting turned upside down by Xu Shuo, Pei Sheng left the office in a huff.

Then, just as he stepped out, he nearly bumped into Los who had been eavesdropping outside.

“What are you doing here?”

Since Los was standing quite far away, Pei Sheng didn’t connect him to eavesdropping; he was just puzzled why he would leave his workstation for no reason.

Los handed him the documents he carried, “I’m here to show you some documents.”

“Oh, oh, oh.”

Pei Sheng took the documents, but didn’t look at them right away, just waved his hand for Los to go back, and then turned around to find Li Ziwen in the technical department to continue boasting.

A quarter of an hour later.

Pei Sheng ran out of the technical department, frustrated and defeated.

Then he entered the programming department.

This time he came out looking fresh and cheerful, indeed not all brothers are little tricksters.

Los sat at his workstation, glanced at his boss prancing around excitedly everywhere, then retracted his gaze and looked towards Luofu sitting opposite him.

Luofu, sensing his gaze, peeped over.

The two communicated telepathically.

Los: [Did you set him up?]

Luofu blinked innocently, [No, you were here too, you’d definitely notice if I’d done anything, and I’ve also reined in my own characteristics very well.]

Los nodded as if deep in thought.

Then he asked, “Has Angela been looking for you recently?”

Luofu replied, “Yeah.”

Los was taken aback, “When did this happen, and what did she want with you? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Luofu tilted her head, “She asked me out for hotpot the day before yesterday. We chatted about what I’ve been up to recently, and then she told me not to tell you she had been back.”

Los: “…”

So, if he hadn’t asked, she would have never mentioned it?

Los pushed his glasses up, “Do you know where Angela is staying now?”

Luofu shook her head, “I don’t know, she said I would tell you, so she didn’t tell me anything.”

Los: “…”

The conversation ended.

Rather than trying to get any useful information about Angela from his fence-sitter sister, he might as well follow his own boss.

Los didn’t believe Angela’s sudden contact with Pei Sheng was coincidental. She must have heard some information about the studio from Luofu and decided to get involved.

If she got involved, the worst that could happen might be the studio going bankrupt…

Of course, his boss didn’t seem to be of much use around the studio, so if Angela started from Pei Sheng’s side, there was a high chance the studio could survive.

After all, Pei Sheng was only in charge of spending money, not managing it.

But Angela’s real purpose for butting in was probably Xu Shuo.

Thinking of this, Los uneasily asked, “You didn’t tell her about that matter, did you?”

Luofu immediately replied seriously, “No!”

Because she knew that if she exposed the real reason Los was in this world, she might be locked up in the time-space rift by her brother the very next second.

Loving fun is one thing, but keeping to boundaries is another.

Angela, who often caused trouble, received one of the harshest punishments—thousands of years of confinement, and it was only when the Abyss outside the world began to stir that she was finally released to add to her strength.

This world seemed very important to Los, and Luofu hoped this older sister would understand boundaries and wouldn’t go too far.

Otherwise, she was definitely going to be locked up in a dark room.

But how to put it, Angela’s nature was just like that; her personality made it impossible for her to stop.

Well, she had warned her.

So it was not her problem anymore.

Luofu ate some snacks and continued typing her code.

The next day.

Pei Sheng, for once, took a sudden leave of absence for something trivial, which was a surprise date with a beautiful older sister.

“Is it a date, or are you just going out to pay for her?” Xu Shuo said over the phone.

“She’s different from those cheap, flashy women. I can’t even ask her out for a drink, she hasn’t let me pay yet,” Pei Sheng said smugly.

“What’s she doing asking you out so early in the morning? Leave request denied, get your ass to work right now,” Xu Shuo declared.

“I already told you it’s a date! You can’t do this, I plan to win this woman over!” Pei Sheng howled as he drove.

He was supposed to go to the office, but midway, he received an invitation from Angela to go shopping, so he made an emergency U-turn home, not only switching to a luxury car but also going to a nearby club to get a makeover and dress up.

Then he called to take a leave of absence.

Strike first and play it by ear! He had made up his mind about this date!

At the studio.

Xu Shuo listened to Pei Sheng’s wailing requests on the phone and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Pei Sheng normally wasn’t like this. Although he liked to flirt with beautiful women, he was never so passive, not even when he was pursuing President Wang’s daughter.

Xu Shuo was genuinely curious about what kind of beauty was on the other end.

Was she like Jenny?

“You’ve got to at least tell me where you’re going to hang out. I’m starting to think you’ve been bewitched. Plus, your daily attendance records are visible to your brother,” said Xu Shuo, flipping through files on his desk.

“Damn it! I knew you and Pei Hong were up to no good, leaking my whereabouts!” Pei Sheng exclaimed in shock, putting aside thoughts of the pretty sister and indignantly accused, “How could you do this? I’m going to sue you for privacy invasion!”

Xu Shuo laughed, “If you’re going to sue, you’d be suing Pei Hong. You’re scheduled to work today and you don’t have any business trips, and you’ve already been late for an hour. In another half an hour, your phone might be tracked.”

Pei Sheng: “Damn you freaks!”

“…”

After Xu Shuo hung up the phone, he opened the chat interface on his computer and sent a reply to the other party saying, “Gone on a date.”
