Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 173: I Can Be the Most Faithful Dog By Your Side

Qiao Chuchu stood by Shen Zhuoyan's hospital bed, waiting as the CT room door slowly opened. She pushed the bed inside.

Pei Che stood not far away, quietly observing.

Before long, Qiao Chuchu walked out and picked up her phone to make a call.

Pei Che tilted his head, listening closely.

"Lin Qing sister, something came up here, I can't make it... Yeah, it’s that Shen Zhuoyan, he got hit by a car, and I’m at my second brother’s hospital getting checked."

“I’m not injured, don’t worry!”

"Oh, and I bought bags for you and Yucan sister, one for each of you. I forgot to give them to you earlier at the nightclub, but the bags are on the sofa. You two can open them and have a look! They’re your New Year gifts!"

"Really?~ I’m glad you like them. Well, I’ll stay here and accompany him for the checkup!"

Qiao Chuchu hung up the phone and leaned against the wall.

[Should I call my second brother and tell him?]

[No, forget it. My second brother is always busy. If I tell him, he might come here, and that would be a hassle.]

Pei Che’s face was expressionless, his gaze fixed on Qiao Chuchu’s side profile.

An hour ago, they had returned home to rest, but Pei Ci had urgently called for a family meeting.

Pei Ci leaned on the dining table, speaking sarcastically, “I’m honored to inform everyone that I hit Pei Bu Xian because he confessed to Qiao Chuchu!”

The brothers looked at Pei Bu Xian in shock.

Pei Bu Xian, holding a dog, wasn’t flustered as his secret was suddenly exposed. “It’s fine, I covered up the confession. The good news is she didn’t find out, the bad news is she thinks I’m mentally unstable.”

Pei Ci slammed the table. “This isn’t something that’s easy to cover up!”

Pei Bu Xian stood up and retorted coldly, “If she didn’t find out, then it’s not a problem.”

Pei Ci, burning with anger, shouted, “Have you thought about what will happen to this family if you really confessed? You’re too selfish!”

Pei Bu Xian sneered. “Pei Ci, don’t act like you’re the only one here. Three years ago, you were practically having a physical reaction to seeing your sister, and now you’re criticizing me?”

Pei Ci angrily threw a cup. “I was hard, but what’s wrong with that? Can’t I be hard when I’m facing a woman I like? Did I corner her and kiss her like you did?”

Pei Feng Nong: “? Kiss where?!”

Pei Youchuan let out a ridiculous laugh. “Ha, the day has really come, just like I imagined, insane.”

Pei Che lazily rested his chin on his hand, watching the brothers argue.

Pei Feng Nong clenched his teeth and glared at his younger brothers. “I’m telling you, if you two are going crazy, go to the psychiatric hospital! How can you say things like this?”

Pei Mu, sarcastic, added, “What’s wrong with saying it? Things have come to this point, it’s only a matter of time.”

He sneered, “If anyone wants to back out, get up from the table and pretend nothing happened.”

At his words, no one left their seats.

Pei Bu Xian slapped his chair. “I’m sticking to this chair today! I’m not leaving!”

Pei Ci, unwilling to give in, sat back down. “If you don’t leave, I won’t leave either!”

Pei Bu Xian mocked him. “Aren’t you the one who can’t accept things like this?”

Pei Ci, gritting his teeth, looked at Pei Bu Xian provocatively. “I can get used to it, what’s wrong with that?”

Pei Feng Nong, his stomach aching with anger, said, “Big Brother, you should say something.”

The younger brothers all turned to Pei Yuan, who had been silent, his head lowered in deep thought.

Pei Yuan, hearing Pei Feng Nong’s words, raised his eyes and said indifferently, “If it’s like this, everyone can follow their own hearts.”

Everyone froze.

This was an unexpected answer.

Pei Che raised an eyebrow, tapping the table with his finger in a rhythmic pattern, a playful smile forming on his face. “Since we’ve opened up, I have a question.”

He stared intensely at Pei Yuan. “Big brother, when Qiao Chuchu was kidnapped with Lin Qing and was unconscious in the hospital for an entire day, she said someone kissed her when she woke up. Was that you?”

The younger brothers were shocked again and turned to Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan, sitting at the head of the table, calmly smiled at Pei Che but did not respond.

It seemed as if he had said nothing at all.

But it also seemed as though he had said everything.

The younger brothers collectively gasped, as if struck by lightning.

Pei Yuan, indifferent to their expressions, spoke lightly, “I don’t care what you do, but no fighting, no internal strife. There must never be another physical altercation. If anyone causes trouble and brings it in front of Qiao Chuchu, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Pei Yuan’s gaze grew sharp. “And don’t ever hurt Xiao Ba. If anyone hurts her, they’re out of the Pei family.”

Pei Che snapped back to reality from his thoughts, watching Qiao Chuchu anxiously pacing in the hallway.

The depth in his eyes seemed to spread like a black mist. “Why has this Shen Zhuoyan appeared again, like a ghost?”

Before long, the door to the CT room opened.

Qiao Chuchu pushed Shen Zhuoyan toward Pei Che. “Let’s rest until the results come in.”

Pei Che hid, not wanting Qiao Chuchu to notice him.

Shen Zhuoyan lay on the hospital bed, calm as if he were a recently awakened Sleeping Beauty. His tone was somewhat tentative. “Will you... stay with me?”

Qiao Chuchu answered briskly, “Don’t worry, I said I’ll pay, of course I’ll stay with you until you’re safe. You didn’t hesitate to help me when we were in school.”

She passed by Pei Che, leaving a faint fragrance that drifted into his nose.

Pei Che watched the two of them walking away.

Qiao Chuchu, her frail body that could be tossed onto the bed with one arm, was now pushing the heavy hospital bed.

The assistant by Pei Che’s side sighed. “Chairman, your sister seems like such a gentle girlfriend. I don’t know what kind of luck that guy has to be with her.”

Pei Che snorted coldly. “He’s not her boyfriend.”

The assistant was confused. “Huh?”

Pei Che’s eyes darkened, his voice cold. “And he won’t be.”

On the other side, Qiao Chuchu sat beside Shen Zhuoyan’s bed, relaxing as she began to zone out.

Pei Che stood not far from the emergency room, walking toward her.

Qiao Chuchu let out a quiet sigh.

[What I saw about my new future, I must have offended some big shot, and that’s why my life is going downhill. So that big shot will definitely make her mine, or I’ll become the big shot.]

She absentmindedly tapped the edge of her phone, her expression gradually becoming more intense.

[If I can’t catch that big shot I offended, the people I love and care about will all die miserably.]

[Only I will survive.]

[The new ending I saw proves I’ll be humiliated by the two old men from the Long family, but I have a feeling... it won’t just be those two men.]

[Those two men will bring in more men to humiliate me at the psychiatric hospital, and they’ll likely use my body for trade.]

Qiao Chuchu felt an unbearable frustration in her chest as she mindlessly scrolled through videos on her phone, growing more and more angry.

[Dammit, I never thought Xia Xuechun would send someone to rape me, I thought she just wanted to kill me!]

[Since she’s so vicious, I’ll send her to the psychiatric hospital, and let those two dog men who tried to humiliate me taste the same thing! I want them to wish they were dead!!!]

Suddenly, her phone was covered by a hand.

Qiao Chuchu froze, looking up into Shen Zhuoyan’s deep, dark eyes.

Her eyes, filled with anger, shimmered slightly, and despite trying to control herself, her expression still looked a little vicious.

Like a beast baring its teeth, trapped in a corner.

Shen Zhuoyan shifted slightly, his cold eyes reflecting her figure, and slowly leaned closer to her. “Qiao Chu, would you give me a job?”

Qiao Chuchu furrowed her brows. “What kind of job do you want?”

Shen Zhuoyan’s cold eyes focused intently on her. “To be your bodyguard.”

“?” Qiao Chuchu thought she misheard. “Your bodyguard? I don’t need a bodyguard.”

“No, you do,” Shen Zhuoyan propped himself up, leaning toward her, coaxing, “I’m really good at fighting, you don’t have to pay me, just provide food and lodging, and I’ll stay by your side.”

He took her hand. “I can be your most loyal dog. Trust me.”

Qiao Chuchu was increasingly shocked.

[Huh? The most loyal dog???]

Shen Zhuoyan’s deep eyes burned with an intense light. “So, what do you say? Do you want me?”
