Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Body pillow of Han Xin

Peng Xiu kept staring at Han Xin, her eyes filled with admiration and longing. While Han Xin was talking to Han Zhan earlier, she had been in the other room, listening to their conversation through the multiple devices she had discreetly placed in his office. So far, there hadn’t been anything incriminating.

When she heard Han Zhan call her Han Xin’s girlfriend, her heart had sped up, and she felt a rush of nervous excitement. She had hoped he would agree with Han Zhan, but that didn’t happen. Han Xin had adamantly refused to accept her as his girlfriend.

She felt a pang of disappointment but also relief. The good news was that he wasn’t involved with the Die clan. She knew it. The man she had fallen in love with had a pure heart. He wasn’t messy and didn’t involve himself with messy people.

She found him incredibly attractive in his grey suit, and all she could ever think about was being his woman. But Han Xin kept her at arm’s length, maintaining a strictly professional relationship.

"There is nothing you can do now. You should—" Han Xin began, but he was cut off by his phone ringing. He glanced at the screen and saw it was his father calling. He picked up, and the raspy voice of his father came through the phone. "Come home."

"Yes, father," Han Xin replied, and the call ended abruptly. He stood up, and Peng Xiu seized the moment. She had thought that today they could possibly pierce the paper window and take their relationship to a whole new level but things had gone in an unexpected direction but she was still unwilling.

"Can I come with you?" she asked, her voice tinged with hope.

Han Xin shook his head. "No need. You should head home. I need you supervising tomorrow’s delivery and making sure no one from the Die clan starts trouble."

Peng Xiu followed him, trying to hide her disappointment. They entered the elevator together, and she asked, "Can you drop me off? It’s along the way."

Han Xin’s response was curt as he pulled up his tie fixing it. "No, it’s out of my way. I am not going to his office," he said and an awkward silence ensued. As the elevator doors opened, he stepped out, his aura cold and imposing. The driver opened the door to the Maybach parked in the underground parking lot. Peng Xiu watched him leave, her bashful look transforming into a cold expression.
