《I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou had a first love that he could not love. It was rumored that other than the first love, no one else could enter Pei Jingzhous heart. Until this day, a new mistress had appeared in the Pei family. After showering, Li Xiwu entered Pei Jingzhous bedroom under Assistant Chens lead. Thin orange flames gathered in the pewter scented candle cup. The entire bedroom was filled with the scent of pewter. It was almost refreshing. Click. Behind her, Assistant Chen closed the door considerately. Li Xiwu looked around nervously. She instinctively wanted to escape, but before she could retreat to the door, she was pulled back by an overwhelming force. The world spun Li Xiwu expected to be pressed down heavily. She even frowned in advance and was prepared, but the man only knelt beside her and covered half of her body. A powerful pressure wrapped around her. Mr Mr. Pei, Li Xiwu stuttered. The mans voice was hoarse and low. Youre back. Li Xiwus small body suddenly stiffened, not trembling as much as before. She knew very well that the you Mr. Pei had just mentioned was actually the first love he loved so much. It was not her. She didnt know whether to respond or not. She could only stay silent. Their breath mingled in the darkness between their noses. Suddenly, Li Xiwus chin was gently lifted. The rest was self-evident. Li Xiwu slept soundly until eight-thirty the next morning. When she got up, she dragged herself downstairs to use the dining room for breakfast. The phone beside her hand vibrated slightly. Li Xiwu put down her cutlery and picked up the phone. Mr Pei? The reply was not from the person last night, but from Assistant Chen. Miss Li, Im Chen Xin. Mr. Pei has arrived in Thailand. Hes resting. Li Xiwu wanted to ask why Mr. Pei did not say that he was going abroad when he left last night. Why was it Mr. Peis assistant who called her back now? These words were on the tip of her tongue but she did not ask them. Instead, she obediently agreed. Yes, I understand. She hung up. Li Xiwus breakfast porridge suddenly lost its taste. She was willing to be this substitute, so there was nothing to be aggrieved about. Pei Jingzhou was the only person who could give her a stable life now. She was an orphan and her life was a mess. If she had not met Pei Jingzhou, she would still be struggling in the mud. Although the two of them will only be married for three years by agreement. However, in these three years, to be able to be the high and mighty Mrs. Pei, to have luxurious clothes and jewelry, and to live in a big villa with a clear conscience, her happiness had already surpassed 99% of the people in the country. Being a substitute was nothing. She knew her place. C Three years later. A star-studded awards ceremony was in full swing in the studio. The popular starlet Ji Weiling who was on the rise was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. After Ji Weiling went on stage, she took the trophy from her senior and stood in front of the microphone. She said nervously, Thank you, Wind Platform, for giving me this honor. Thank you, my company, and the fans who have always supported me. Finally, I have to thank Sister Li, my manager. At the mention of the manager, Ji Weiling looked at a seat near the front of the stage. At the same time, the pre-rehearsed shot also landed on Li Xiwu. Then, Li Xiwus face appeared above the huge screen on the stage. On the screen, Li Xiwu was sitting upright in a long black dress. Her face maintained a calm smile, and her face was even more eye-catching than Ji Weilings on the stage. This award is both an encouragement and a spur. I will continue to work hard in the new year and hand over better work. Thank you. After finishing her speech, Ji Weiling lifted her skirt and walked off the stage amidst the applause. The awards ceremony ended. Li Xiwu was blocked by several people when she came out. Miss Li, Director Yu would like to have a chat with you. Miss Li, President Qi has arranged a meal tonight. He hopes you can attend. Miss Li Before those people could finish their words, Li Xiwu raised her hand. The observant assistant, Yuanyuan, immediately went forward to stop those people. Li Xiwu returned to the hotel opposite the studio. Just as she arrived at the hotel lobby, she met three people. Li Xiwu recognized the man in the lead. It was her husband, Pei Jingzhou, whom she had not seen for nearly half a month. At this moment, besides his assistant, there was also a beautiful woman with a graceful figure beside her husband. Pei Jingzhou was on the phone. When he looked up and saw Li Xiwu, he looked away as if he had seen a stranger. When Chen Xin saw Li Xiwu, he stopped and nodded. Miss Li. Li Xiwu smiled. What is Mr. Pei doing here? Mr. Pei Im sorry, Miss Li. Ill go in first. It was not convenient for Chen Xin to say more. He smiled perfunctorily and quickly followed him in. Li Xiwu watched the three of them enter the elevator. The moment the doors closed, she met Pei Jingzhous gaze. Miss Li. Someone shouted after her. Li Xiwu turned around. Ji Weiling ran over with her dress. She was holding the curved trophy that she had won tonight. Miss Li, Ive worked hard for you. The temperature had dropped tonight. Li Xiwu looked at Ji Weilings strapless gown and removed the shawl with CHANEL printed on it. She handed it to Ji Weiling. Youre working for yourself. If not for your urging, I wouldnt be where I am today, Ji Weiling said humbly as she gathered her shawl. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Assistant Yuanyuan ran over and asked, Miss Li, President Qin is asking if youre going to the celebration party tonight. Li Xiwu hadnt answered. Ji Weiling said with certainty, Miss Li will definitely go. The current Hua Guan Media is relying on Miss Lis resources to support half their company. Im not going. As soon as Ji Weiling finished speaking, she heard Li Xiwu say that she was not going. She didnt feel embarrassed, but more surprised. Miss Li, are you really not going? Li Xiwu raised her chin and said to Yuanyuan, Supervise her not to drink too much at the celebration banquet. Send me a WeChat message when you get home before ten. Yuanyuan nodded. Got it, Miss Li. Ji Weiling was a little disappointed. Before she left, she handed the trophy to Li Xiwu. After watching the two of them leave, Li Xiwu took the trophy Ji Weiling had given her and took the elevator upstairs. She consciously did not look for Pei Jingzhou so as not to disturb him. As it happened, shed stumbled upon a scene she shouldnt have Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu saw Pei Jingzhou and the graceful woman hugging each other. She stared for a moment, then silently retreated to the corner and stood. About a minute later, the sound of high heels approached. Li Xiwu pretended to walk and just happened to bump into the owner of the high heels. Their eyes met. It was the graceful woman who had followed Pei Jingzhou downstairs. She was also the woman who had hugged Pei Jingzhou in the corridor just now. She was very beautiful and charming, but she was not like his first love. Li Xiwu suddenly remembered that for the past three years, Pei Jingzhou only had her by his side. However, Li Xiwu knew very well that although he seemed to be clean and honest, it was actually because those women did not look like his first love. But now, there were women around him How dare you walk in my way, the woman said haughtily. Li Xiwu gave way. Seeing this, the woman was very satisfied and left in her eight-centimeter high heels. She waited until the sound of high heels disappeared into the elevator before she composed herself and walked over. C Outside the door, Chen Xin raised his hand to wipe the lipstick off his cheek. He turned around and saw Li Xiwu walking slowly towards him. Earlier, Chen Xin was afraid of wasting time and did not dare to speak much to Li Xiwu. Now that he saw Li Xiwu, he immediately came forward and asked, Miss Li, are you here to see Mr. Pei? Li Xiwu smiled her standard smile. No, I live on this floor. Chen Xin smiled awkwardly and made way resentfully. Li Xiwu swiped her card and returned to her room. She changed into slippers and went to the bathroom to remove her makeup and take a shower. She ate an apple, mixed a glass of honey water, put on a heat mask, and went straight to bed. Probably because there were too many things on her mind, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She took off the heat mask and took her phone from the bedside table. She opened her best friend Qiao Qiaos WeChat and sent her a WeChat message: [Pei Jingzhou and I are getting a divorce.] She waited a few seconds in silence. Her phone buzzed. Qiao Qiao had replied to her message. [Is it convenient to pick up?] Li Xiwu replied: [Yeah.] Then, Qiao Qiao called directly. Just as Li Xiwu pressed the phone to his ear, Qiao Qiaos questions came from the other end of the line. Are you going to divorce Pei Jingzhou? Have you found a lawyer? Is the lawyer reliable? Did Pei Jingzhou say how much divorce property he wants to give you? I have a friend who has made an entire legal team. Should I introduce them to you? Li Xiwu laughed out loud. As expected of her best friend. Not only did she not feel surprised, but she also immediately thought of a way to help her fight for the most benefits. Qiao Qiao said, How about this? I ask, you answer. Li Xiwu hadnt figured out how to express her true thoughts to Qiao Qiao. Now that Qiao Qiao had unfolded the conversation, she took the opportunity to say, Okay. Qiao Qiao asked, What do you think of Pei Jingzhou? Li Xiwu didnt hesitate when she answered. Very impressive!! Qiao Qiao was speechless for a moment before continuing. I mean, what do you think of him? Li Xiwu said, Hes also very powerful. Qiao Qiao was speechless. Qiao Qiaos train of thought was diverted by Li Xiwu. She paused for a few seconds before continuing, You were married to Pei Jingzhou for three years and led a noble life. You even started a career. Putting aside the fact that youre husband and wife, just treat Pei Jingzhou as your sugar daddy. He doted on you and was willing to spend money on you. Now that youre suddenly getting a divorce, I cant bear to think about it. These words simply pierced Li Xiwus heart. Yes. Qiao Qiao laid out the problems that existed now. But youre getting married by agreement. You might not be able to get much of a divorce property. Youll just have to try to get as much as possible. At the mention of divorce assets, Qiao Qiao sighed even more than Li Xiwu. Its fine to get married normally, but its difficult to get married through an agreement. Wanting to get more divorce assets is equivalent to taking advantage of capitalists Qiao Qiao continued, For Pei Jingzhou to be able to dominate the capital for so many years, hes not someone to be trifled with. Although its very stable for you to part on good terms, who doesnt want to make a fortune from him before leaving? After all, this is enough for ordinary people to live for most of their lives. How about this? Wait for me. Ill help you contact a lawyer and see if any lawyer is willing to take on the divorce contract between you and Pei Jingzhou. Li Xiwu thought that no lawyer in the entire capital would dare to accept her divorce from Pei Jingzhou. At this moment, the line was suddenly busy. Li Xiwu hurriedly told Qiao Qiao that she would talk to her tomorrow, then ended the call with her and took this call. Mr. Pei? Her voice was as steady as ever. On the other end of the line was Pei Jingzhous voice. Come to 1822. Li Xiwu knew where 1822 was. Next door to her. Some distant thoughts were interrupted. She acknowledged them first, gathered up her dressing gown, and shuffled past in her slippers. Knock knock knock C She raised her hand to knock. The door was ajar. She pushed it open and went straight in. The suites on this floor were all the same. Brown-and-black business style. Li Xiwu walked in and heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. It must be Pei Jingzhou taking a shower. After she came in, she stood quietly in front of the French window for a while, waiting for Pei Jingzhou to finish showering. After a few minutes, the water stopped and Pei Jingzhou walked out with a towel wrapped around his lower body. He was very tall and worked out all year round. His figure was superior in all aspects, and his abdominal muscles were well-defined. Li Xiwu had seen him countless times in the past three years, but she would still take a few more glances. Her gaze slowly moved up. Above his neck was an angular outline. His jaw was firm, and his nose bridge was like a mountain. Although he was expressionless, his aura was like a mountain. After half a month, they seemed to have become strangers again. They probably needed to do something sweaty to regain their previous familiarity. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou stood by the bed and gestured at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu walked over. Pei Jingzhou must have missed her body very much. As she approached, his hand immediately reached for her waist and entered her robe. His palms were wet and warm, wide and strong. He quickly restrained her waist and pulled her into his arms. According to the usual procedure, what to do next was unspoken. Li Xiwu suddenly shouted, Mr. Pei! Pei Jingzhou looked down at her. I Li Xiwus body stiffened. This was a sign of resistance. Pei Jingzhou had noticed it too. I didnt shower, she lied. His closeness just now made her feel physically uncomfortable. It was probably because he had begun to accept other women. Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the steamy bathroom. Li Xiwu sat with weak legs, thinking about how to hide tonight. She didnt want to have sex with Pei Jingzhou, but it was obvious that she couldnt avoid it. Thinking about the past ten minutes, he had been very restrained. Li Xiwu. Pei Jingzhous voice came from outside the door, pulling Li Xiwu back from her thoughts. She replied, Yes? Come out, he said. It wasnt the tone of command, but it trumped it. Li Xiwu didnt dare disobey. She knew that staying any longer wouldnt change anything. She couldnt hide from him tonight. She simply composed herself and pushed the door open calmly. Their eyes met. The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall. His tall and mighty body stood in front of Li Xiwu, making Li Xiwu, who was 1.68 meters tall, look very petite. You done? he asked. Li Xiwu nodded, then began to remove her dressing gown. Her movements were methodical, without nervousness or shyness. It was the composure of a long-time companion. Halfway through undoing her robe, Pei Jingzhou reached over. Li Xiwu thought he was anxious, so he let him peel it. But the reality was not what she had expected at all. Pei Jingzhou tied the strap on her wrist and pulled her to the bed. He lay down and tucked her in before hugging her to sleep. His legs were long and slightly bent over her, but they didnt press too hard against her. He liked to envelop her in his arms when they were doing it, and he liked to envelop her in another way when they werent doing it. He was domineering, but Li Xiwu didnt resist such dominance. It made her feel safe, like a dumpling being held in the palm of his hand. Mr. Pei, Li Xiwu called to him with a sigh. You dont want to sleep? he asked. The lights hadnt been turned off. Visually, it was clear. Li Xiwu said no and cut to the chase. Two more months. What two months? She wasnt sure if he really hadnt thought about it for a moment or if hed deliberately not thought about it, but Li Xiwu preferred to believe it was the latter. She had made up her mind to divorce as soon as possible and live her own life. As she was thinking, Li Xiwu suddenly frowned and shouted in pain, Mr. Pei, dont bite Does it hurt? It hurts, she answered honestly. Its good to know it hurts. Li Xiwu wanted to be angry with him, but she felt that she was not qualified, so she could only keep quiet. Are you free tomorrow? he asked. The voice came from above, making her seem even smaller in his arms. She pretended not to hear and ignored him. He gripped her waist. Li Xiwu, speak. She was scared now. No time, she said in a muffled voice. And the day after tomorrow? No. When will you have time? he asked patiently. Li Xiwu murmured, Thursday. Then clear your schedule for Thursday and go back to Pei Residence for dinner. Okay, she said obediently. As a substitute, she had to be self-aware. She had been very self-conscious for the past three years. Other than occasionally throwing a tantrum, Pei Jingzhou would tolerate her. It was only when she mentioned that she wanted to go to Thailand with him that his expression immediately changed. The next day. Li Xiwu was woken up by her frequently vibrating phone. She saw the name on the display, hesitated, then answered. Auntie. The person who called was Han Qianye, Pei Jingzhous mother and Li Xiwus current mother-in-law. Han Qianye was the most famous noblewoman in the capitals noble circle. Her family was a high-ranking official, and her husband was from the Pei family, one of the richest families. Everyone was envious. Han Qianye gave a few instructions. Li Xiwu replied, I have time. Finally she answered, Okay, Ill be there on time. When the call ended, she put down her phone and got out of bed. She shuffled to the bathroom to wash up. When she entered, she almost bumped into Pei Jingzhou. Li Xiwu stepped back, sideways, letting him out first. She only went in after Pei Jingzhou walked out. They were husband and wife, but they were more like living roommates. As Pei Jingzhou finished his cigarette, Li Xiwu came out of the bathroom. He stubbed out the cigarette in the stone rice. Where are you going? Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhou in surprise. To the company. Ill drive you, he said. Li Xiwu was even more surprised. You dont want me to? He walked over. When they met last night, hed been wearing a bathrobe. Sexy and attractive. This morning, he had already changed into a formal suit. His white shirt was paired with a blue and black striped business vest, and his neatly ironed trousers were the same color as the vest. Every move he made exuded endless charm. Im going to the office in the afternoon. I have something else to do in the morning. She had no intention of telling Pei Jingzhou about Han Qianyes appointment with her. They had never gotten along. She had always dealt with it herself. Pei Jingzhou looked at her quietly for a while, then walked forward and grabbed Li Xiwus slender waist. He asked her in a low voice, Are you unhappy? Where did Mr. Pei get the impression that I was upset? she asked. Its written on your face. Pei Jingzhou smiled beautifully. Li Xiwu was one of the few people who could see a smile on his face. He released her and turned. He went to the bar and brought her the gift he hadnt had time to bring back for her yesterday. Instead of giving it to Li Xiwu directly, he pulled out the package, opened the velvet box, and took out the pigeon-blood ruby ring inside. He held Li Xiwus hand and placed the ring firmly on her index finger. Sunrise. She recognized the priceless ruby on the ring holder. Pei Jingzhou admired it with satisfaction. Its only suitable for you. Li Xiwu didnt refuse. Thank you, Mr. Pei, she said politely. Just thanks? His voice was low and his eyes darkened a little as he watched her. Li Xiwu threw her head back, stood on tiptoe and kissed him. Although this kiss was initiated by her, the dominant position was still with Pei Jingzhou. He was not satisfied, so he pressed her into his arms and kissed her as much as he wanted. It could be considered barely making up for last night. C They left the hotel. Li Xiwu took off the pigeon-blood ruby ring and put it away. Then she drove to Herti. Herti was a well-known beauty chain. With its unique beauty care techniques and advanced beauty equipment, it was a frequent destination for the wealthy wives of the Capital circle. Han Qianye is meeting her there today. After parking the car, Li Xiwu entered the Herti. At this moment, Han Qianye had just finished her hot-madge medical treatment. She walked towards Li Xiwu with a slightly red and swollen face. Without looking at the face, her noble ladys demeanor did not decrease. You sure know how to time things. Han Qianye sat down opposite Li Xiwu. Hertis staff served Han Qianye with fruit platters and flower tea. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Why did you call? She didnt want to waste too much time here, so she cut straight to the chase. Han Qianye did not make things difficult for her and said directly, I gave you 80 million last time, but you didnt agree to divorce Jingzhou. This time, Ill be more generous and give you 200 million. After taking this 200 million, you can divorce Jingzhou. Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Han Qianye was famous for being difficult to deal with. After Li Xiwu married Pei Jingzhou three years ago, she did not see Han Qianye directly for the first year until the next year. Han Qianye was a wealthy lady after all. She could not point at her and tell her to get out of the Pei family like the shrew on the street. However, she would put on a cold face on some occasions and deliberately embarrass Li Xiwu. Therefore, in the past three years, the number of times the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had met could be counted. Youre scared silly with only 200 million? Han Qianye said indifferently with a slightly red and swollen face. Li Xiwu asked, Auntie, are you serious? Seeing that she was tempted, Han Qianye mocked, Look at how worthless you are. 200 million is enough to control you. Li Xiwu smiled tightly. Han Qianye said, Be happy. No, Li Xiwu said calmly. Your face Han Qianye probably didnt know that her sarcastic expression coupled with her slightly red and swollen face was very comical. What are you laughing at? Han Qianye raised her hand to cover her face. Let me remind you that you didnt take this two hundred million for nothing. Li Xiwu did not know what Han Qianye was up to. Next, Han Qianye took out a contract from the Hermes Hilmaraya bag beside him and handed it to Li Xiwu. Take a look first. Li Xiwu took it and opened it to read it carefully. During this period, the manicurists moved in to make tools for nails. They removed Han Qianyes old nails and made new ones. Seeing that Li Xiwu had finished reading, Han Qianye said, Youre a professional. You can understand the contents. Yes, Li Xiwu said. So what are you saying now? It was a variety contract. This variety show was an outdoor lifestyle variety show that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law participated in together. It was called Mother-in-law Joy. After those celebrities who had already retired took their mother-in-law on this variety show, they became famous again. Last year, there was also a wealthy lady from the capital circle who brought her daughter-in-law on this show. Then, she openly displayed the extravagance of a wealthy family on the show. The audience was dumbfounded. The contract Han Qianye gave her was for the second season of Mother-in-law Joy. After the previous season ended, the word-of-mouth and viewership ratings were very impressive. The organizers ate the dividends and did not stop promoting the second season. Han Qianye suddenly smiled kindly. This is what I think. Were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I havent cared much about you in the past three years. I feel guilty no matter how I think about it. Therefore, I want to participate in this show with you. Even if we dont become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, we might have to interact in the future, dont you think so? Li Xiwu replied, Yes. Han Qianye was very satisfied with Li Xiwus attitude. Then its settled. Adjust your schedule according to the recording time in the contract. This time, Li Xiwu did not agree immediately. She made a condition. It takes time and effort to record a show. Isnt 200 million a little too little? Han Qianye was speechless. The two hundred million was her secret stash. She had to grit her teeth to get it out. She actually thought it was too little? Li Xiwu, dont be too greedy. The kind expression on Han Qianyes face disappeared. Li Xiwu smiled. I see, so fighting for yourself is greed. Auntie is too noble and Im too despicable. Han Qianye choked and thought about how to continue the conversation. This daughter-in-law looked obedient and innocent, but in fact, her thoughts were very complicated. There were at least 800 of them. How much do you want? Han Qianye planned to take a step back. Li Xiwu did not stand on ceremony. She opened his palm and gestured. Han Qianyes expression changed. Li Xiwu, youre deliberately making things difficult for me. The liquidity in the hands of wealthy ladies was limited. They seemed to be worth tens of billions, but they could only take out a few hundred million. Li Xiwu wanted four hundred million! She actually increased by double. She has quite an appetite. Where could she get 400 million? Li Xiwu stood up and said in a cold voice, Auntie, I still have something on at the company. If youve thought it through, call me so that I can adjust my schedule. Li Xiwu had just gotten up when a sound came from nearby Mom! Li Xiwu turned and saw Pei Jiao craning her neck to look for her mother. Pei Jiao was Pei Jingzhous younger sister. She had been fooling around outside and had only returned from overseas a few months ago. She was usually elusive and did not have much interaction with Li Xiwu. When Han Qianye saw Pei Jiao, she waved his hand. Jiaojiao, here. Pei Jiao strode over. When she saw Han Qianyes swollen face, she asked, Mom, what happened to your face? Why is it as swollen as a pigs head? Han Qianye was speechless. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. Auntie, Ill leave first. Han Qianye raised her hand. Ill reply to you later. Okay. Li Xiwu nodded. They waited for Li Xiwu to leave. The employee of Herti stood up and explained to Pei Jiao why Han Qianyes face was red. Pei Jiao was still confused. What hot mama chicken? Is it edible? Han Qianye was furious. What else can you think about other than food?! Pei Jiao said righteously, Thinking about your money. Pei Jiao turned her head and looked at Li Xiwus departing figure. She murmured, Why do I feel that she looks a little familiar? Your sister-in-law, Han Qianye reminded her. Pei Jiao suddenly understood. Oh, the substitute beside my brother. Han Qianye snorted. Shes just a proxy. Pei Jiao looked confused again. Mom, whats a proxy? The peripheral of an item. Whats peripheral? According to normal development, her daughter should share the same hatred as her and unanimously dislike Li Xiwu. Han Qianye was furious. She looked at Pei Jiaos blockhead and said, I told you to study more in the past. All you know is Makka Pakka. C After Li Xiwu returned to the company to settle other matters, she drove to Qiao Qiaos residence. The two of them were close, and Li Xiwu knew the password to the door lock of Qiao Qiaos house. She entered the password and entered. The fragrance of food filled her nose. Ive put in a lot of effort. Ive cooked so much today. Li Xiwu saw the dishes on the table and her appetite rose. Qiao Qiao came out of the kitchen with a plate of salt-and-pepper shrimp. She was grinning from ear to ear. Im going all out to celebrate the fact that youre about to be single again, am I right? Its enough. Li Xiwu smiled. But as you know, divorce isnt that fast. I even made a deal with Han Qianye today. Li Xiwu and Qiao Qiao had known each other for almost three years. The two of them had similar personalities and interests. They talked about everything and soon became best friends. Han Qianye? Qiao Qiao asked in surprise. Yeah. You mean that old kerosene barrel that caught fire at the drop of a hatHan Qianye? Under Qiao Qiaos gaze, Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Qiao Qiao placed the salt-and-pepper shrimp on the dining table and wiped her hands on her apron. She pulled Li Xiwu into a chair. What kind of deal was made? Id like to see how this old kerosene bucket screws you over. Li Xiwu said bluntly, Han Qianye gave me 200 million yuan and invited me to record a variety show with her. After recording the show, I will take the money and divorce Pei Jingzhou. Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations A mother-in-law variety show? Is it that Mother-in-law Joy that was so popular last year? Qiao Qiao usually liked to watch variety shows. When she heard Li Xiwu mention the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show, she quickly thought of Mother-in-law Joy, which aired last year. It was very popular then. Yeah. Li Xiwu stared at the dishes on the table. Qiao Qiao knew that Li Xiwu was craving for it. She handed her chopsticks and said, There must be a reason for this abnormality. The old kerosene bucket doesnt like you to begin with. She must be up to no good this time. Youre the daughter-in-law of the Pei family after all. Besides, isnt 200 million too The word too little was swallowed back by Qiao Qiao. But come to think of it, you might not even get two hundred million in divorce assets. I can see why you agreed. Li Xiwu ate his food. Thats why I raised the price by double with Han Qianye. Qiao Qiaos eyes widened and she slapped the back of Li Xiwus shoulder. I knew it! You, my friend, dont look like youre fighting over anything, but youre actually very clever. But of course! But! Qiao Qiao asked the key question. Why would the old kerosene barrel take you to a variety show? Qiao Qiao knew that Han Qianye disliked Li Xiwu. What was the motive of a mother-in-law who did not like her daughter-in-law? Han Qianye will make things difficult for me on the variety show. Huh? Li Xiwu said firmly, After she mentioned going on the variety show, I went to check on the first season of Mother-in-Law Joy last year. The mother-in-law of a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is Lin Yourong. Han Qianye and her are best friends. Qiao Qiao said, I know about Lin Yourong! Last season, she even caused public opinion when she targeted her daughter-in-law on the show. In the end, all the netizens who were originally scolding the mother-in-law went to scold the daughter-in-law. At that time, the video clip was very convincing. There seems to be something wrong with her daughter-in-law. Theres no problem with Gao Sisi. Lin Yourong spent money to hire fake reviewers to scold Gao Sisi online, saying that theres something wrong with Gao Sisis brain. In the end, after the show ended, she forced Gao Sisi to divorce her son. However, this truth was suppressed. No one in the outside world knew about it. Only someone in the rich wife circle mentioned it. At this point, Li Xiwu was very calm. I also found out that Han Qianye, who only met Lin Yourong once every ten days or so, had frequent contact with her a few days ago. Damn! Qiao Qiao flew into a rage when she heard that. I knew that this old kerosene barrel was up to no good. Shes trying to imitate Lin Yourong and learn from her when she dealt with her daughter-in-law on the variety show. Li Xiwu nodded. Qiao Qiao was worried. Are you sure you still want to go? Its going to be so bad for you. Wealth comes from risk, Li Xiwu sighed. In the end, well still get a divorce. She only looks at money! C After dinner at Qiao Qiaos house, Li Xiwu drove back to Lake Lu. Lake Lu was where she and Pei Jingzhou lived after they got married. After identifying the fingerprint lock, she opened the door and changed into her slippers. When she entered, she saw Pei Jingzhou sitting on the sofa. Li Xiwu stood there for more than ten seconds and walked straight into the bedroom without saying anything. When she was about to reach the door, she heard Pei Jingzhous voice ask her, Have you had dinner? Li Xiwu replied, I have. She went straight to her bedroom. Now that she had determined the path she was going to take, Li Xiwu planned to go all out and did not even want to maintain the surface. Pei Jingzhou got up and followed Li Xiwu into the bedroom. Li Xiwu was about to take off her jacket when she glanced at the man who followed her in. Mr. Pei, you want to change your clothes too? Then use it first. Im not in a hurry. He gripped her wrist as she walked past him. Going to record a variety show? Li Xiwu paused. Pei Jingzhou knew so quickly? Yes, she admitted frankly. Pei Jingzhous voice was expressionless. Have you forgotten what I said? I havent forgotten. She looked up and met his gaze squarely. Pei Jingzhou once said, You can enter the entertainment industry, but youre not allowed to show your face. If not for this reason, Li Xiwu would have become a celebrity herself back then. In the past three years, she would have filmed a few movies and taken on a few advertising endorsements. She would have made a lot of money, not just as a manager. She did not earn much money, and she did not have much hope for the divorce assets. She was determined to take Han Qianyes 400 million yuan. Just as she was thinking about money, Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and grabbed her chin. He turned around and pressed her against the cabinet. He lowered his head and was about to kiss her. In the past, at this time, Li Xiwu would close her eyes and accept it. This time, she tilted her head and let Pei Jingzhou kiss nothing. Li Xiwu. His tone was cold. Li Xiwu smiled. Mr. Pei doesnt reject anyone now. Isnt it easier to recruit a few people to serve you outside? Pei Jingzhou narrowed his eyes. Do you know what youre talking about? I say, Mr. Pei, get someone to serve you outside! After enunciating each word, she pushed past him and left. Pei Jingzhous expression was extremely cold. In the past, Li Xiwu was very obedient and never retorted. In Pei Jingzhous eyes, she would always submit. This was the first time Li Xiwu had dared to speak to Pei Jingzhou like this. C Li Xiwu came out of the cloakroom, turned and went into the bathroom again. There was no point in contradicting him. There had to be practical action. She couldnt always be in his control, even if there were only two months left before the divorce. She had to be bold enough to fight for her own benefit. If Pei Jingzhou wanted to stop her, he could try. Lets see if she would finish recording the variety show first or he would destroy it first! The next day. Li Xiwu received a WeChat message from Han Qianye: [400 million. Its settled then. Sign the contract in black and white. Ill get someone to send the contract to you in the afternoon.] She knew that Han Qianye would agree to double the price. She did not agree on the spot because she was afraid that she would ask for more, so she pretended to consider it for the entire night. Li Xiwu replied: [Okay.] She got up and went to the cloakroom to pack a few clothes and stuff them into her twenty-inch suitcase. The other daily necessities would be assigned by the program team. Since she was going to film a variety show, she had to settle her other matters well. In recent days, Li Xiwu did not leave early after work. She was busy warming up Ji Weilings new show. She only left early on time when she returned to the Pei residence for a meal with Pei Jingzhou on Thursday night. When she went to the Pei residence, she sent Han Qianye a WeChat message in advance and said, Your son doesnt agree with me going to film a variety show. Han Qianye did not reply. After arriving at the Pei residence, Han Qianye did not appear. Pei Jiao was not around either. As for Pei Youan, he was nowhere to be seen because Pei Youan was about to take the college entrance examination. There were only Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou for dinner. Li Xiwu got along with Pei Jingzhou as usual. Three days later, the second season of Mother-in-Law Joy began recording. After Li Xiwu had completely arranged her artists work schedule, she boarded the minibus to pick her up to the recording venue without Pei Jingzhou knowing. Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After the first season of Mother-in-Law Joy aired, its reputation and viewership ratings were excellent. Season two became a key project sponsored by Wind Platform. The online publicity was done very well. Unlike the first season, which was broadcast at a specific time after the recording, the biggest publicity stunt this time was to use a real-time live broadcast to show the relationship between mother and daughter-in-law in front of the audience. As in the previous season, there were four groups of guests. The first group of guests was Min Hanrong, an actress who had left the industry for more than twenty years. Her daughter-in-law, Tao Jing, was a piano teacher. Twenty years ago, Min Hanrong participated in Miss Hong Kongs beauty pageant and debuted with the title of Miss Hong Kong. She first experienced great popularity and experienced the slump period. She gradually faded from the audiences view. Then, she met her benefactor and became famous again. She acted out several classic works that no one had surpassed so far. Later, she low-key married a rich man in Hong Kong and stayed at home to take care of her husband and children. Tao Jing was a slightly famous piano teacher. Because of a concert, she got to know Tao Jing. After that, Min Hanrong introduced Tao Jing to her son and it became a beautiful story. The second group was made up of ordinary guests. The mother-in-law, Xiang Lan, was a fitness instructor who loved to work out. Her daughter-in-law, Xu Muzhen, was a doctor. Xiang Lan loved working out at a young age. She worked out even when she was pregnant, and she worked out non-stop after giving birth. Now that she was in her forties, she looked to be in her early thirties. Working out really made her look young. Xu Muzhen was usually very busy. A doctor had a lot of things to do. Compared to her mother-in-law who worked out every day, Xu Muzhen was so busy that she was almost invisible. The third group of guests was the outdated starlet Xie Wen and her mother-in-law, Zheng Yuehua. Xie Wen was once Li Xiwus popular starlet. In the two years that Xie Wen was famous, she firmly held the position of the top gun in Hua Guan. She could earn more than a billion yuan for Hua Guan in a year. Unfortunately, Xie Wen fell in love. In a modern drama, she fell in love with the male lead, Chi Xu. After she got pregnant, she insisted on having the child. Li Xiwu couldnt persuade her, and the company couldnt do anything to Xie Wen, so they could only give up on Xie Wen, the money tree. Now, Xie Wen wasnt doing very well and had plans to make a comeback, so she had already contacted Li Xiwu several times in private. This time, being able to be on Mother-in-law Joy was a favor from Hua Guan. Xie Wens mother-in-law, Zheng Yuehua, was a celebrity mother. Her son, Chi Xu, had only debuted a few years ago, but his popularity could not compare to Xie Wens popularity in the entertainment industry for half a year. His popularity had always been lukewarm and did not have any representative works, so there was not much attention. The fourth group of guests was Li Xiwu and Han Qianye. Li Xiwu was an artiste manager, and Han Qianye was a wealthy lady. On a certain level, the two of them were also ordinary guests. They are like Lin Yourong and Gao Sisi in the previous season. This episode, the two of them were also highly anticipated group. C The groups were currently divided into two groups of guests at a recording venue. The first and fourth groups were in a town in the scenic area outside the capital. The second and third groups were in the five-star hotel in the inner ring of the capital. All the guests had already met the director and understood the recording process of the show. Before the recording, there were individual interviews and two-person interviews, as well as official posters. After that, there was some explanation of the mission. It could be considered a transparent script. After all, it was easy to make mistakes during a live broadcast, so the program team naturally had to plan ahead. Moreover, the programs sponsored by the Wind Platform would not be shabby. The stylists hired to style the guests were all professional. On this day, the minibus with the words Mother-in-Law Joy on it drove and stopped along the way. Finally, it picked up the guests from the first and fourth groups. The live broadcast had officially started. With the popularity of the first season and the good publicity, many of Mother-in-Law Joys loyal fans and netizens squatted down to enter the live-stream. The live-stream recording program had to be turned off, and only the comments were left on: [Help! Mother-in-Law Joys second season is being broadcasted live. I was so excited last night that I couldnt sleep! Anyone who is like me, raise your hand!] [Time has never defeated beauty. After twenty years, Min Hanrong is still as beautiful as ever.] [Min Hanrong really wont grow old. When my father was young, he wanted to marry her! When I grow up, I want to marry her too!] [Ive browsed through all four live-streams. Only the first group is the most popular. Someone said that this is fake popularity? Im laughing! Min Hanrongs fans are just old, not dead!] [My dad said that from today onwards, he is Min Hanrong Boy!] Min Hanrong, who was dressed exquisitely, and Tao Jing, who was dressed elegantly, sat side by side at the front. The two of them were as close as sisters and kept talking and laughing. Li Xiwu and Han Qianye sat at the back. They did not seem to be very familiar with each other. Li Xiwu was calm. On the other hand, this was the first time Han Qianye was facing the camera of hundreds of thousands of people watching online. She looked a little uncomfortable. When the camera pointed at Li Xiwu, the comments suddenly became a little excited. [Boohoo, whose DNA moved!] [I dont care if anyones DNA moves. Anyway, this is my dream connection. After a year, Xie Wen and Sister Li are together in this way.] [When I saw Xie Wen in the other live-stream, it was really indescribable. When I saw Sister Li again, I sighed. Why did Xie Wen, this silly girl, fall in love and give up her career?] [If only the fourth and third group of guests were in the same place. I want to see Xie Wen and her Sister Li in the same frame.] The people who posted these comments were all fans of Xie Wen. When these fans were chasing after Xie Wen, they all knew the names of the people from Xie Wens management company, manager and assistant. When they saw that Li Xiwu was also on this in-law variety show, they couldnt help but sigh. After more than an hours drive, the minibus arrived at Fu Town, which was also the venue for the recordingthe Inn From Beyond. After getting out of the car, the first group of guests pushed their suitcases in. Li Xiwu took the suitcase and was about to follow when Han Qianye said, Ahem! Li Xiwu turned to look at Han Qianye, then consciously turned back and reached out to take Han Qianyes 26-inch suitcase. It was quite heavy. Han Qianye said, The suitcase is very heavy. I can handle it myself. With that, she took the suitcase from Li Xiwu and Li Xiwus luggage. With a benevolent look, she said, I cant bear to see you tired. Li Xiwu was speechless. [What kind of fairy mother-in-law is this! This is wonderful!] [Her suitcase is so big, yet shes still helping her daughter-in-law push her luggage. If I wasnt live streaming, Id think this was just for show.] [Sister Li is so lucky to have such a good mother-in-law. I wonder who Sister Lis husband is? The production team doesnt seem to have announced it.] Netizens began to become curious. Who was Li Xiwus husband? Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At the same time, the live-stream of the third group of guests was also very popular. Xie Wen, who had just come out of confinement for more than five months, looked quite good under the cover of her makeup. But once she removed her makeup tonight, the fans might not recognize her. How could Xie Wen, the most popular starlet in the entertainment industry in the past, look so haggard? What kind of mother cant even make a supplement for her child like you? The milk bottle has to be hot after its rinsed. It has to be sterilized. Be careful with the heat. And the water temperature of that milk powder. Ill remind you again to be accurate to fifty degrees! Fifty degrees! Got it? The mother-in-law of the third group of guests, Zheng Yuehua, was teaching her daughter-in-law all kinds of parenting knowledge. Xie Wen stood beside the sink cleaning the milk bottle. There was a basin of boiling water in the sink. Her fingertips were red from the heat, but the camera was not aimed at Xie Wens hand. Instead, it was aimed at a distant scene. Xie Wen maintained a friendly attitude and said briskly, I know I have to kill the bacteria. Zheng Yuehua was quite satisfied with Xie Wens attitude. She instructed, Cook early at noon. Ill take care of Shenshen. Shenshen was Xie Wens five-month-old daughter. Xie Wen replied, Got it, Mom. [Back then, the Empress Qing Qiu (played by Xie Wen) was my first love. And now, Xie Wen is a mother. How old is she? Only 24, right?] [I feel that Chi Xus mother has a f*cking bad temper! I wonder if its my imagination?] [But Xie Wen is such a proud person. She has always been smiling and her tone is very light. I feel that her relationship with her mother-in-law is not bad. Perhaps shes usually like this?] [That parenting knowledge just now was also correct. Although Xie Wens acting career is a pity, she has a good husband and a good mother-in-law.] [I cant see through Xie Wen. Only Sister Li should understand her.] [But Sister Li didnt persuade her back then.] The comments were flooding the screen. Fu Town was a scenic area outside the capital. Tourists who came here had to book tickets on the official website in advance to enter Fu Town. Some people would be curious why they had to book tickets on the official website in advance to go to a suburban town. Due to the fact that salamanders, Siberian grouses, red-bellied horned salamanders, and other national level-two protected animals were often seen in Fu Town, the process of coming here was more troublesome to avoid accidental harm to the level-two protected animals here. Currently, the live broadcast was in the middle of a sponsors advertisement. Without the camera facing her, Han Qianye felt much more at ease. She lamented, Its really tiring to sit in the minibus for so long. If only we were in my private car, I could even sleep comfortably. Li Xiwu had just opened her suitcase when she heard Han Qianyes complaint. She replied, Auntie, you have to think carefully before coming. Who are you to remind me? Han Qianye snorted. Li Xiwu was calm enough, so no matter what tone Han Qianye used to speak to her, she would not be angry. She stowed her luggage. She greeted Han Qianye and went downstairs first. As she climbed the stairs, she heard the melodious sound of a piano. It was the familiar prelude to A minor. Tao Jing was sitting at a Yamaha piano, playing a tune briskly. Her mother-in-law, Min Hanrong, stood behind Tao Jing and admired her seriously. The innkeeper was a person who understood the mood. He had specially set up a piano and a zither in the inn. Currently, the zither has been sent for maintenance, leaving only a piano in a conspicuous position in the inn. Tao Jing was a piano teacher, so she was happy when she saw the piano. As Li Xiwu approached, Min Hanrong noticed her and greeted her with a smile. Li Xiwu smiled back. The song ended. Min Hanrong clapped her hands and praised, Jingjing, this song is so good. Why havent I heard it before? Tao Jing stood up with a gentle smile on her face and explained to the curious mother-in-law, This song was composed by a short video blogger a year ago. Its called Altenis in A Minor. At that time, it was forwarded by various platforms and even became a trending topic. Its said that the blogger created this song as an impromptu inspiration and to give it to a friend who made her regret it. Could the friend who made this blogger regret her boyfriend? Min Hanrong continued to ask curiously. Its not. It was Li Xiwu who answered. Min Hanrong and Tao Jing turned to look at Li Xiwu. Tao Jing asked first, Youve also seen the original work of that blogger, right? Li Xiwu nodded. I swiped it by chance. Tao Jings eyes were full of light. I also saw it by chance. I think Mother Dragon is very talented at both playing the piano and composing. Unfortunately, she only posted the piece Altenis in A Minor, which is related to the piano. The rest is all good food. But Ive been paying attention to her. I hope one day she can post a few more songs. The Mother Dragon Tao Jing was referring to was the creator of Altenis in A Minor. This bloggers ID on the short video was Tyrant Dragon. In order to make it easier for netizens to address her, they changed from Dragon Dragon, Little Dragon, Dragon Treasure, to Mother Dragon. Min Hanrong asked Li Xiwu, who was chatting with his daughter-in-law, You seem to know a little about these things. Do you know how to play the piano? Before Li Xiwu could answer, Han Qianye, who had come downstairs, said, She doesnt. At this moment, Han Qianye walked over. She stood beside Li Xiwu and explained kindly, Our Xiwu has had a hard life since she was young. She didnt even have enough to eat when she was studying. How could she have the money and energy to learn to play the piano? When Min Hanrong heard that the fourth groups daughter-in-law was a phoenix, she immediately smiled meaningfully. How lucky. It is. Han Qianye went along with Min Hanrongs words. Ever since Xiwu came to our house, Ive been very good to her. I cant bear to let her do anything. At this point, Han Qianye turned to look at Li Xiwu. Right, Xiwu? Li Xiwu responded, Yeah. Min Hanrong raised the corners of her lips. At first, she was worried that the fourth group would steal their limelight. It turned out that they were a group of plastic in-laws. Then, dont blame her for being rude. Jingjing, Min Hanrong shouted. Tao Jing answered. Min Hanrong said with a smile, Today is the first day of the recording. Youre the piano teacher. Play two songs for them to admire. Tao Jing would never refute her mother-in-laws words. She immediately nodded and agreed. Okay. Then she went to the piano and sat down. The way she sat, the shape of her hands, the raised arms, and the straight curve of her upper body revealed Tao Jings professionalism. [Wow! The first group of guests is simply too pleasing to the eye.] [This tune is my favorite fall whisper!] [I really like the scene of Min Hanrong and her daughter-in-law interacting. When Tao Jing was playing to her hearts content, Min Hanrong stood at the side with a proud expression. How are they mother and daughter-in-law? Theyre biological mother and daughter!] [Is there a talent show in Group Four?] [With Sister Lis swift and decisive work attitude, if she doesnt know how to play the piano, she should know how to cut bricks with her bare hands.] At this moment, Han Qianye frowned. Seeing Min Hanrongs daughter-in-law shine, she naturally felt uncomfortable. However, on the one hand, she did not want Li Xiwu to be too outstanding on the variety show. On the other hand, she felt aggrieved. Damn! She was inferior to these two women! Feeling indignant, she whispered to Li Xiwu, What do you know? Li Xiwu said, I know how to appreciate it. Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu thought that since Han Qianye had given her the image of a daughter-in-law who knew nothing, she had to maintain this image well and not let it collapse. But Han Qianye felt uncomfortable. She was forced to admire the piano skills of the first groups daughter-in-law. She felt even more uncomfortable when she had to praise her against her will. When she looked at Li Xiwu again, she felt even more annoyed. C There were no missions scheduled for the first day of recording. In the afternoon, the two groups of guests only walked around the inn, mainly to familiarize themselves with the environment of Fu Town. In front, Tao Jing held her mother-in-law, Min Hanrongs arm. The two of them chatted as they walked, talking about luxury goods and maintenance, as well as the recent fashion show. Behind them, Li Xiwu walked beside Han Qianye, but there was a distance of about a step between them. Li Xiwu walked quietly while Han Qianye looked ahead expressionlessly. It was strangely quiet between mother and daughter-in-law. After a while, Han Qianye adjusted her collar microphone. Huh? Li Xiwu looked sideways at Han Qianye. Hmm? Huh? Hmm? The comments livened up: [Ive seen unfamiliar strangers before, but this is the first time Ive seen an unfamiliar mother and daughter-in-law relationship.] [What a strange netizen. I dont have a good relationship with my mother-in-law. When Im only with her, Im like a stranger.] [Im not interested in Sister Lis mother-in-law. Im looking forward to seeing who Sister Lis husband is. Is anyone as curious as me?] Han Qianye suddenly spoke because she remembered what Lin Yourong had said. In the program, she tried her best to show that she took good care of her daughter-in-law. She couldnt embarrass her just for the sake of it, so she took the initiative to talk to Li Xiwu. Have you been busy with work recently? Li Xiwu was not surprised by Han Qianyes greeting. Its okay. Han Qianye asked, Is there anywhere you want to go recently? Li Xiwu said, Those I want to go are too far. Where? I have time. Ill go with you. Han Qianye first drew the cake to show her good mother-in-law side. Li Xiwu knew not to slap the smiler, so she said, Antarctica. Han Qianye said, To the South Pole to see the aurora? No. Li Xiwu reached into her pocket and pressed down on the vibrating phone. I raised a penguin in Antarctica so Ill check it out every year. When did you raise a penguin in the South Pole? Han Qianye was obviously shocked and curious. Li Xiwu thought that Han Qianye was not interested in this topic. Seeing that she was asking, she continued, The year before last. Why didnt you call me for such an interesting matter? Han Qianyes tone was filled with dissatisfaction. This reaction made Li Xiwu unable to tell if it was her true feelings or if she was deliberately showing it. She said, Then Ill take you this year. Do you want to go? Yes. Han Qianye thought of the compartment in the cloakroom that was almost full of scarves. I bought seven or eight scarves from Prada last year and didnt use them. There are also two brand new LV scarves. When I go to Antarctica, Ill wrap them around the penguin. Li Xiwu was speechless. [Holy shit. Is this the world of the rich?] [Seven or eight Prada scarves for Antarctic penguins?] [The spending patterns of the rich have refreshed my understanding.] Li Xiwu didnt know what the comments were talking about. All she knew was that the phone in her pocket was vibrating more and more frequently. She lowered her voice. I need to take this. Han Qianye acted very understanding. Go ahead. Ill go chat with that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Li Xiwu took advantage of Han Qianye going to the front and gestured to the cameraman beside her. The cameraman understood instantly and temporarily moved away from the camera facing Li Xiwu and cut to the sponsors advertisement. [Whats going on? Why is Sister Li missing?] [Actually, I think the way Li Xiwu and her mother-in-law interact is quite comfortable.] [If the fourth group is compared to the first group, Min Hanrong is the better mother-in-law.] [My boyfriend also likes Min Hanrong. When he goes to the toilet, he tells me to pause the show. Im not allowed to watch the live broadcast alone. I have to wait for him to come back and watch it together.] [Why are there so many commercials for Group Four? If Id known, I wouldnt have squatted in the live broadcast room. Ill watch them on Friday night when the Wind Platform airs it.] [Im leaving too. There are just too many commercials.] [Go see Xie Wen.] After leaving the camera, Li Xiwu took out her phone. There were nine missed calls. Pei Jingzhou had four, Ji Weiling had three, and President Qi had two. There were also a dozen unread messages on WeChat. Ji Weiling: [Miss Li, when are you free to come back?] Ji Weiling: [Something suddenly went wrong with my new drama and I need you to fix it.] President Qi: [You really went on a variety show with your in-law?] Yuanyuan: [Miss Li, Sister Ji said she couldnt contact you.] Qiao Qiao: [How was your first day of recording? Did it go well?] Pei Jingzhou: [Call me back when you see the message.] After reading the WeChat messages, Li Xiwu began to reply to them one by one. In the past, the first person she would reply to after receiving so many WeChat messages would definitely be Pei Jingzhou. And now, Pei Jingzhou has become her last reply. After replying to all of them, her phone began to vibrate. It was Pei Jingzhou who called first. Li Xiwu picked it up. Mr Pei. Youre there? Although he didnt pay attention to her and wouldnt watch the live broadcast, there would always be someone around to tell him about her, especially this times recording of the in-laws variety show in real time. Yes, Li Xiwu said. The contract has been signed. I have to pay if I breach the contract. Pei Jingzhous voice turned cold. Do you lack this bit of money? What kind of words are those? He had given her a card to shop. It was very common to spend hundreds of thousands. But millions? When it came to millions of yuan, she had to pass through Pei Jingzhou. She was also self-conscious. She had food, drinks, and clothes. She had never spent more than a million yuan at a time. She couldnt be bothered to talk about money-related topics with the capitalists. Ill be recording a show here. If Mr. Pei misses her, watch the live broadcast. Anyway, she looked like his first love. Pei Jingzhous voice came from the receiver. Do you mind? Li Xiwu raised the corners of her lips. Ive always been very clear about my position in Mr. Peis heart, and Mr. Pei should know it better than me. Why should I mind? Her tone was calm, and she was polite enough not to hang up. Mr. Pei, the commercial break is over. I still have to make an appearance. After saying that, she hung up on Pei Jingzhou. C Inside the office. Chen Xin noticed that Mr. Peis expression was dark and his heart was in his mouth. He carefully speculated Did Miss Li make Mr. Pei unhappy? After all, Mr. Pei had only called Miss Li once There was a clang. Pei Jingzhou threw the phone on the table, scaring Chen Xin. It was usually best not to speak in such situations, but who asked him to be Mr. Peis assistant? No matter what, he would be criticized! Chen Xin was about to speak. Pei Jingzhou simply said, Stop this variety show for the time being. Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Chen Xin said, Call-call off the variety show? That was a variety show that Miss Li and Madam Han were participating in! Pei Jingzhou looked up at Chen Xin. Chen Xin broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, Mr. Pei, Im afraid that after stopping this variety show, it will be difficult for me to explain to Miss Li and Madam. Just as he finished, someone knocked on the office door. Chen Xin thought it was someone from the secretarial department and did not have much hope. However, after hearing a sloppy voice, he looked relieved. He looked up and saw that it was indeed He Wang! Young Master He. If not for the fact that the occasion was not right, Chen Xin would have immediately smiled so widely that his teeth would be visible. He Wang walked in with one hand in his pocket. When he got closer, he suddenly raised his hand and fanned the smell in front of his nose. Fourth Brothers business is getting bigger and bigger. The moment I came in, I smelled gunpowder. Guns and ammunition are prohibited items. If you stay at a high place for too long, you wont be able to withstand the investigation. Pei Jingzhou leaned back in his chair. The business has nothing to do with guns and ammunition. Its mainly human trafficking. He Wang leaned against the cabinet beside him. Are you serious? If I report this now, Ill definitely take credit for the Pei Corporations seizure. Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. That depends on whether you walk out of the Pei Corporation first or be sold to Cambodia first. The corner of He Wangs mouth twitched, and he said in a playful and amused tone, If you sell me to Africa, I can still survive by doing hard labor. One day, Ill be able to escape. But if you sell me to Cambodia, tsk tsk, that place doesnt even use anesthesia when taking the kidneys. Chen Xin laughed beside him. He Wang said, What are you laughing at? Get me a glass of water. My throat is almost smoking. Chen Xin quickly went to get some water. When he handed it to He Wang, he asked, Did Young Master He go to the erotic opera again last night? He Wang took the cup and put his index finger to his lips. Shh, be quiet. Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and gestured for Chen Xin to leave. During this time, he did not mention stopping the in-laws variety show. Chen Xin heaved a sigh of relief because of this. He had to thank He Wang for coming. The office door closed. He Wang finished the water in one go and placed it on the table before sitting down again. His sitting posture was still considered proper. After all, he was in front of Pei Jingzhou. No matter how lazy He Wang was, he did not dare to be rude to Pei Jingzhou. He did not beat around the bush and asked directly, I heard that Sister-in-law and Auntie went to record a variety show? Pei Jingzhou took the cigarette box and took out a cigarette. Where did you inquire about this? Do I have to inquire about this? The mother and daughter-in-law variety show that Sister-in-law and Auntie went to participate in is live-streaming today. Fourth Brother, dont tell me youre on 2G Internet? He Wang said and laughed. Pei Jingzhou lit his cigarette and rested his fingertips on the armrest of his seat. His expression was unreadable. Do you think they can get along well in the show? Of course He Wang changed the subject. Its hard to say. Others might not know, but how could He Wang not know? Li Xiwu and Han Qianyes relationship had not eased for three years, but the two of them dealt with this relationship in the same way: reduce their meetings. If they went to record a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show together this time, it would mean that they would have to meet for at least 15 hours a day! He Wang clicked his tongue. Im afraid it wont be that easy for Sister-in-law to record this show. Pei Jingzhou was worried about this, but when he thought of Li Xiwus perfunctory attitude during this period, it seemed that he had to make her suffer a little to understand that he was doing her a favor by not letting her on the show! He Wang raised his eyes to look at Pei Jingzhou. If only the live-stream had a gift function. Ill go to Sister-in-law and Aunties live-stream every day to crazily give the Carnival and make them the hottest couple in this episode. Pei Jingzhou casually took out a document bag from his drawer and threw it on the table. Since youre so free, go and pull this project over. He Wangs face fell. He had wanted to watch the show, but in the end, he had caused trouble for himself. C Fu Town. After Han Qianye joined Min Hanrongs conversation, she put aside her dissatisfaction from before. At this moment, it was as if she had found a bosom friend. She held Min Hanrongs arm and chatted with her. Most importantly, Tao Jing, who was beside her, could still talk with them. The atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious. In a separate room in the inn, four computer screens were broadcasting live broadcasts of the four groups of guests. The assistant director was guarding the hotel. Currently, the live-streams of Group 2 and Group 4 had been switched to sponsorship advertisements. After Group 2s advertisement ended, they returned to the live broadcast. Group 4 had always been broadcasting advertisements. The people in the livestream were almost all gone. Director Gao Yueban hissed and craned his neck to ask his assistant, Wheres Miss Li? The assistant replied, Miss Li is on the phone. It should be about her company. Gao Yueban frowned. She can also be on camera when she answer the phone. The assistant said apprehensively, Its probably a personal call. Gao Yueban heaved a sigh of relief. Lets wait for another five minutes. Five minutes later, if Miss Li arent done with her personal matters, well go and rush her. At first, there were more than 600,000 people watching Group Fours live-stream. Now that the advertisement has been released, there are only 50,000 people left. Who wants to keep watching the advertisements? The assistant reminded Director Gao in a low voice, It wont be good if the sponsors hear us. The representatives of the two sponsors were also here to record the program this time. Not only would they be releasing advertisements during the live broadcast, but they would also be releasing some sponsors brands during the recording. Thinking that the sponsors representatives were all outside, Gao Yueban restrained his voice. Remember to rush her. Aye. The assistant nodded. C After Li Xiwu finished handling the matter, she quickly returned to the live broadcast. However, she was the only one in the live-stream. Han Qianye was with Group One. She picked up her pace and headed that way. She was about to approach when she heard Tao Jing exclaim Ah! What is this? Tao Jing was so frightened that her face turned pale. The scream just now shocked Min Hanrong and Han Qianye. Min Hanrong stuck her head out and patted her chest. Its a cat. Tao Jing didnt know whether to laugh or cry. It whizzed past and scared me. Min Hanrong quickly comforted her daughter-in-law. Its alright, its alright. Han Qianye came over curiously and saw that the cat had yet to leave. It was squatting there and looking at them. From the looks of it, it was not afraid of strangers. It should be moving around here often. This is a country Dragon-li cat, right? Han Qianye said. Min Hanrong nodded and said, There are dark spots and longitudinal patterns. It should be a Dragon-li. Tao Jing said suspiciously, This cat is different from the ones I usually see. It looks a little strange. How is it strange? I think its quite cute. Can I bring it back and raise it myself? Han Qianye said as she approached the cat. The cameraman beside her was about to warn her. At this moment, Li Xiwu rushed forward and pulled Han Qianye. Dont go near it. Just watch from afar. Han Qianye was unhappy when he heard Li Xiwus voice. Seeing that she was still blocking her way, she said unhappily, Im just looking. Im not reaching out to touch it. Why are you in such a hurry? Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Han Qianye was dissatisfied with Li Xiwus obstruction. She turned around and said, This cat is so ugly that I wont reach out my hand. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said nothing. At this moment, Min Hanrong took the initiative to ask Li Xiwu, You looked so serious just now. Can we really not touch it? Li Xiwu said truthfully, Better not. Try to walk around it when you see it. Is it that exaggerated? Min Hanrong did not believe Li Xiwus words. Tao Jing was skeptical. I also think that this Dragon-Li cat doesnt look like a native Dragon-Li cat. Its a little strange. Actually, it was ugly. Tao Jing was too embarrassed to say that directly. How much does it cost to raise this cat? Han Qianye suddenly asked. She had a cat, too. She had kept Persian cats, ragdoll cats, and angora cats. They were all good-looking cats. This was the first time she had seen such a unique ugly cat. For a moment, she was actually interested and wanted to raise it. This isnt about money. Li Xiwu was ready to explain that this wasnt a cat. Before she could speak, she heard Han Qianye ask, If its not about money, then its about the procedures. Then if I want to raise this cat, what procedures do I need? Li Xiwu replied calmly, You need to buy a house in prison first. Han Qianye: ? Min Hanrong: ? Tao Jing: ? The comments were going crazy. [Its to the point! To the point! Its really Mother-in-Law Joy!] [The smile didnt disappear. It just transferred from their faces to mine, hahahaha!] [F*ck, Im dying of laughter. Sister Lis pertinent speech, buy a house in prison first!] [But to be honest, most people have never seen a lynx before. Its not surprising that they dont recognize it.] [Lynx: Hah! Tui! Youre the ugly one! Your whole family is ugly!] [Lynx: Heh! Tui! Youre the Dragon-Li Cat. Youre all Dragon-Li Cats!] [Lynx: I just came out for a walk, and these country bumpkins call me a cat? They even want to raise me? Handcuffs! Wheres the handcuffs! Imprison them!] [If Li Xiwu hadnt appeared just now, this show probably wouldnt have been able to survive.] Han Qianye glanced at Li Xiwu. Are you joking or are you serious? Li Xiwu explained calmly, Its a lynx. Its a level-two wild protected animal and is protected by the countrys laws. Its illegal to raise it privately. Han Qianyes face turned a little green. Min Hanrong, who was at the side, sighed in her heart. She thought to herself that it was fortunate that the person she wanted to raise it was not her. How embarrassing. That was a national level-two protected animal! Is this really lynx?! Tao Jings reaction was the most vivid. Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. But, Tao Jing made a long gesture. Arent lynx all this big? Li Xiwu said, Its still a cub. Tao Jing smiled in embarrassment. No wonder it looks like a cat. It hasnt grown up yet. If they met an adult lynx today, there was a high chance that it would not be recognized as a cat. C Gao Yueban, who was sitting in front of the monitor, was holding his forehead and wiping his sweat. Recalling the scene of the live broadcast being connected to the monitor, he couldnt help but sigh. It was really thrilling. The junior assistant said, Fortunately, Miss Li knows the lynx. Otherwise, something would have happened. Gao Yueban asked, Didnt we inform Group One and Group Four before the interview? There are many second-level protected animals in Fu Town. Why are they so ignorant? We almost lost the program. The junior assistant guessed, Maybe its because its a lynx cub that looks like a Dragon-li, so no one thought that it was a second-level protected animal. Gao Yueban instructed, Inform the cameramen to keep an eye out. Dont let anything go wrong again. They almost gave me a heart attack. He was so close to losing the show. C This afternoons episode was still trending on Weibo at around five. The netizens directly took a screenshot of the scene in the live-stream and posted it on Weibo. When they posted it, they included the trending words #Mother-in-Law Joy. It is currently very popular. The hottest topic on the trending page was #Lynx. The netizens who were confused and did not know what was going on clicked on this trending topic out of curiosity. [Damn! When I saw that the lynx was trending, I was so scared that I thought it was going extinct. So I hurry up and click on it.] [Whats going on? Mother-in-Law Joy is broadcasting it live? Can I send gifts?] [Im very busy at work during the day, so I dont have time to watch the live broadcast. Its better to watch it on Friday.] [I saw this part and almost fainted from laughter. Hahahaha, buy a house in prison.] [Im curious. Min Hanrong is married to a rich man, and her daughter-in-law is also a knowledgeable artist. How can they not recognize that its a lynx? It could be seen at a glance, okay? I suspect that its a script prepared by the production team to deliberately support Li Xiwu.] [I bet nine out of ten people wouldnt recognize it! What do you mean, deliberate or not, how dark your mind has to be?] [Li Xiwu is an artiste manager. She should be supporting Xie Wen! I heard that Xie Wen has plans to make a comeback.] [When I see Xie Wen now, all I can think about is what a pity. She had such a bright future.] Meanwhile, in Group Threes live-stream. It was almost six in the evening. In order to reflect the life of the mother and daughter-in-law, the production team had specially set up a kitchen in the hotel. Most five-star hotels would not respond to such a request, but when celebrities came to record the show, the hotel could still appear on television, which was equivalent to free publicity. At this moment, Xie Wen was cooking dinner in the kitchen while being distracted by the babbling and crying coming from the bedroom. They had agreed in the morning that Xie Wen would be in charge of cooking, and her mother-in-law, Zheng Yuehua, would be in charge of taking care of the baby. It was the same at night. She was busy in the kitchen. In the bedroom, Shenshen, who Zheng Yuehua was taking care of, kept crying. She didnt know what was going on, but now that the live broadcast camera was filming her cooking, she couldnt leave easily. Before the recording, Xie Wen had discussed with the director that her daughter would not appear on screen during the live broadcast. When she and her mother-in-law were with her daughter, it was also a long shot. At this moment, Zheng Yuehua was in the bedroom with her granddaughter. No cameraman went in, let alone anyone else. She did not know what was going on inside. Xie Wen could not calm down and cook. She threw down the things she was busy with and washed her hands repeatedly in the sink. Then, she wiped the water stains on her apron and quickened her pace into the bedroom. The cameraman stopped at the door. Mom! Xie Wen was filled with helplessness when she called out. At this moment, her mother-in-law, Zheng Yuehua, was lying on the bed with her phone raised in one hand. The phone page was in video call mode. Zheng Yuehua was chatting with the person on the other end of the phone with a smile. She did not care about her granddaughter, who was lying beside her and crying non-stop. Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing this, Xie Wen did not know what emotions to express. She went forward to pick up her daughter. Little Shenshens eyes were red from crying, and her hands were clenched into fists. After being carried by Xie Wen, she continued to cry. Is the meal ready? Zheng Yuehua sat up and asked. Such an attitude was more condescending than the boss and more self-righteous than her own mother. Xie Wen coaxed the crying Shenshen and replied, Almost done. The meal isnt ready yet. What are you doing here? After saying that, Zheng Yuehua lay back down and raised her phone to continue the video call. My daughter-in-law came in and I thought that she was calling me to eat. Enjoy? Enjoy what? Its almost seven oclock and the meal isnt ready yet. Do you want this blessing? The bed in this hotel is too soft. Ouch, my back hurts from sleeping Xie Wens helpless gaze turned calm. She was probably used to this kind of life after being pregnant for ten months. She couldnt express how angry she was. It wasnt that she hadnt been hysterical before, but later on, she became calm. Shenshen finally settled in her arms. She swung her arms gently, trying to make her daughter sleep more comfortably. After she was done, she turned to ask Zheng Yuehua, How much milk powder did Shenshen drink just now? Zheng Yuehua did not hear her. Xie Wen shouted, Mom. Zheng Yuehua glanced at Xie Wen. What? She sounded a little impatient. Xie Wen asked, How much milk powder did Shenshen drink just now? Twenty milliliters or thirty milliliters. I forgot. Theres no difference. I just fed her on time. After saying that, Zheng Yuehua continued to chat with her friend on the phone. Zheng Yuehua indeed had two faces. As a celebrity mother, she knew a lot about being on camera. In front of the camera, she acted like she cared about her granddaughter. The water temperature of the milk powder had to be precise. Where the camera wasnt there, she revealed her true nature. She favored boys over girls. She was lazy and bossy. Xie Wen forcefully held back her tears and silently hugged her daughter to coax her for a while. When her daughter completely stopped crying, she placed her daughter back on the bed. The soup in the pot is about to boil. Watch over Shenshen. Well eat in ten minutes. Another ten minutes? Zheng Yuehua was very dissatisfied. Why are you so wishy-washy today? Xie Wen explained, It cant be helped. Filming a show isnt like usual. You need cameras to cook. Zheng Yuehua waved her hand like an empress dowager. Go, go. Xie Wen came out of the bedroom and quickly entered a recording state. She took her phone and returned to the kitchen. While looking at the pot, she called Chi Xu, who was filming on set. When he answered, she pressed the speaker button. This was the scripts request. When she called her husband at night, she had to put him on speakerphone. She had to ask him about his work routine and show off their love. Honey. Chi Xus gentle voice came from the phone. Xie Wen, who had been exhausted all day, was comforted when she heard Chi Xu called her gently. She set the phone down beside her, her other hand busy stirring the soup in the pot. Did you call it a day? There are two more scenes, about an hour or so. Then, Chi Xu asked her, Is Shenshen obedient today? Xie Wens face was filled with a happy smile. How old is Shenshen? She cries when shes hungry and sleeps when shes full. Well have to wait until shes two or three years old to see if shes obedient. Im not afraid that shell disturb you too much. Chi Xu was very considerate. Fortunately, with our mother around, you can relax a little. Xie Wen nodded. Chi Xu asked her again, What do you want to eat? Ill bring it back for you. Xie Wen said, Jueweis duck neck. Ill eat it while I watch dramas after Shenshen sleeps. Alright, Ill buy more then. The couple talked like that. The soup in the pot gurgled and steam rose everywhere. [Xie Wen and her husband get along so sweetly.] [No wonder Xie Wen insisted on getting married and having children. She married a good husband.] [Besides, Xie Wens mother-in-law is also very good. Just now, Shenshen kept crying non-stop, making Xie Wens heart clench. Her mother-in-law didnt carry Shenshen out to look for Xie Wen. Moreover, she let Xie Wen record the show first. If it were my mother-in-law, she would have rushed out and stuffed the child to me.] [She has a caring husband and a good mother-in-law who helps take care of her children. Xie Wen is indeed doing well.] [Those who say that it was a pity, I think that since Xie Wen chose this path, everyone should wish her well.] [Emmmmm, I dont think its that sweet. I think its more of a pity. Xie Wen, the most beautiful little princess in the entertainment industry in the past, Xie Wen, who doesnt have any experience, is now at home taking care of her husband and children] C The Inn From Beyond. There was only one shared kitchen, but there were three or four stoves. Min Hanrongs group had already started preparing for dinner tonight. Min Hanrong knew how to make two or three simple dishes. Tao Jings hands were used to play the piano. Min Hanrong could not bear for her to get wet, so she only let Tao Jing stand by the side and chat with her. Min Hanrong cooked personally. Stir-fried pumpkin shreds, stir-fried bean sprouts, and boiled white tofu. These three dishes were already Min Hanrongs specialty. Tao Jing kept praising her mother-in-laws culinary skills. Min Hanrongs face was full of smiles. The weather in the capital has become drier and drier since autumn. Weve been wandering outside for too long in the afternoon and havent drunk much water. Eat more vegetables at night to reduce the autumn heat. With that, Min Hanrong reminded Tao Jing, Call Ah Cheng. After Min Hanrongs reminder, Tao Jing remembered that her only mission today was to talk to her husband during dinner, so she took out her phone. The atmosphere of the first group was very harmonious, be it cooking or completing missions. Han Qianye and Li Xiwu were completely different. Han Qianye was a noble lady at home. She had never cooked since she got married. Recently, in order to participate in this daughter-in-law variety show, she had learned some superficial knowledge and barely learned to stir-fry vegetables. Now she stared at the kitchen counter in front of her, momentarily forgetting how to use it. Fire first. How hot must the pot be before she pour the oil? Will this pot splash when the oil is poured? Is this pot heavy? Could the dishes in this pot taste the same as the ones she cooked at home? Han Qianye couldnt be sure. She glanced at the first group from time to time. Li Xiwu stood in front of the sink and quietly washed the mushrooms. She casually tore open each mushroom. The size was especially uniform. Not only was she familiar with it, but she was also efficient. Noticing that Han Qianye was standing in front of the kitchen counter, she asked, Do you need help? Han Qianye immediately retracted her gaze and felt guilty for being caught. She pretended to be calm. No, you can just wash the vegetables. I cant bear to let you cook. Li Xiwu smiled tightly. Ask me if theres anything youre not sure about. Han Qianye asked, Do you know how to cook? Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Before Li Xiwu could reply, Han Qianye answered her own question first. Look at my memory. I forgot that youve never cooked at home in the three years youve been married. You cant do these things. Ill let you try my cooking tonight. Just watch from the side. Li Xiwu put the washed mushrooms in a basket to filter the water. Okay. She didnt argue. Next, Han Qianye began to make preparations. Electromagnetic furnace fire was easy. No questions asked. Before the pot was hot, Han Qianye began to pour oil into it. She was not sure how much oil she would pour, so she just poured some into it. After all, she did not like to eat dishes with too strong an oil smell. Li Xiwu saw Han Qianye pick up two eggs and say, The oil is not Hot. Han Qianye said, I know. She took an egg in each hand and knocked them together. One egg was instantly crushed. The shells fell into the pot of half-warmed oil. The other egg was about to shatter with its egg white stretched out in a straight line. In the end, the egg that was about to shatter was crushed by Han Qianye, causing her hands to be full of it. Li Xiwu: Min Hanrong and Tao Jing: Netizens in the livestream: Director Gao, who was sitting in front of the monitor, was speechless. There was an ache in his balls! [I suspect that Li Xiwus mother-in-law doesnt actually cook.] [Dont doubt it. She doesnt know. The oil in the pot isnt even warm yet. And to make egg and mushroom soup, you have to break up the eggs in a separate bowl before you put them in the pot.] [What a dark cuisine. Is she going to plate the mushrooms before theyre cooked?] [I thought there was going to be a cooking competition tonight, but it made me sleepy. (Subway, old man, cell phone)] [Did anyone notice? Li Xiwus mother-in-law is really good. Even if she doesnt know how to cook, she has to bite the bullet and not let her daughter-in-law work hard. On the other hand, Li Xiwu doesnt have much to say to her mother-in-law. It seems unnecessary to stay beside her.] [This wave of goodwill is on the mother-in-laws side.] At this moment, Han Qianye was almost flustered in front of the kitchen. As much as she wanted to lift the egg shell from the pan, she was afraid the oil would burn her. Li Xiwu saw that something was wrong and was about to help, but Han Qianye stopped her. Dont come over. Be careful not to get scalded by the oil. I cant bear to see you get injured. Li Xiwu: It seemed that I cant bear to see you XX was Han Qianyes catchphrase. Turn off the fire first, Li Xiwu said, lowering her voice. Han Qianye was flustered. I know, I know, I know. Although she said that she knew, she was actually still confused and even more flustered. After some maneuvering, the pot did not heat up completely and even exhausted Han Qianye. She drew a tissue to dab at the sweat on her head and turned to Li Xiwu with a wry smile. Dinner will be late tonight. Li Xiwu gave her mother-in-law an encouraging smile. Take your time. Theres no hurry. Ill stay here with you. This was the effect Han Qianye wanted. At first, Li Xiwu always said that she wanted to help, but she was inadvertently interrupted several times. Lin Yourong told her that she had to show that she doted on her daughter-in-law in the show, and at the same time, she had to portray her daughter-in-law as someone who knew nothing and make the audience think that her daughter-in-law was really useless. Right. Han Qianye remembered her only mission today and reminded Li Xiwu, Remember to call. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. She didnt want to call Pei Jingzhou. But this was a program assignment. She took the phone and unlocked it. Many unread WeChat messages popped up. After ignoring this information, she opened her contact list and scrolled down a few phone numbers. It was Pei Jingzhous number. Without hesitation, she dialed it and pressed the speaker button. Ten seconds passed. No answer on the other end. Li Xiwu heaved a sigh of relief. Pei Jingzhou should still be busy at this time. It was best not to pick up. She put the phone down and said, Fourth Brother is busy. In order to avoid Pei Jingzhous name being magnified in front of the audience, Li Xiwu used the name that the others around him usually called himFourth Brother. The people in the live broadcast room, as well as the surrounding stagehands and other staff, had all seen it. The phone she had dialed had not been picked up. She also wanted to complete the small task arranged by the show, but she had no choice in this situation. Han Qianye tried his best to suppress the smile on her face and even comforted Li Xiwu. He usually leaves early and returns late. He might have a meeting tonight. Li Xiwu nodded sensibly. Fourth Brother has worked hard. The two of them were precise and perfect. [Li Xiwu called her husband Fourth Brother?] [Theres nothing strange about this form of address. I even call my husband brother. Its just a local form of address. Perhaps Li Xiwus husband only made his fortune in the capital and is really a foreigner.] [Curiouser and curiouser about who Li Xiwus husband is.] [Li Xiwu married into a wealthy family. Could her husband be an executive of a big company? The annual salary of an executive of a big company in the country is tens of millions.] [Remind everyone to pay attention to Mother-in-Law Joys official Weibo. The official Weibo has already announced that the second season will be the same as the first season. Hubby will appear in the end. Were looking forward to it.] C Next, Han Qianye showed off her culinary skills that she had learned at the last minute. The egg and mushroom soup with egg shells had already started to boil. Only then did she remember that she had not added salt. She scooped a spoonful and stirred it inside. The salt had yet to mix in. Han Qianye tasted it and felt that the salt was not enough, so she scooped another two spoonfuls of salt and put it in. Li Xiwu wanted to stop her, but she stopped herself. The food was served. Han Qianye wiped her hands and sat down. She said in embarrassment, Im used to using the kitchen stove at home. Im not very familiar with the kitchen stove here. This is the only dish tonight. Make do with it. Ill make something even better for you tomorrow. Its already very good. Li Xiwu placed her chopsticks together in front of Han Qianye. She was about to start eating when her phone vibrated on the table. Li Xiwu saw the caller ID and picked up the phone. She pressed the speakerphone button and called out gently, Fourth Brother. Han Qianye, who was about to eat, did not respond when she heard the voice. Li Xiwu heard Pei Jingzhous deep voice. Turn off the speaker. Li Xiwu: She said, Im recording a show. I know. Turn it off first. Okay. She turned off the speakerphone. [Ahhhhhhh, theres something we cant hear!] [Sister Lis husbands voice is so nice. Its like the voice of a domineering CEO in novels. I hope he doesnt look like a fat and greasy man.] [Please, its a live broadcast. Maybe he wants a kiss from his wife. Can I pay to listen?] [Is it possible that Li Xiwus husband is also watching the live broadcast? Otherwise, why would he ask Sister Li to turn off the speakerphone?] Li Xiwu also guessed that Pei Jingzhou was watching the live broadcast. Although they were husband and wife and had seen each other many times, when she thought about how he was watching her live broadcast like hundreds of thousands of netizens, she actually felt a little embarrassed. She retracted her voice and greeted him normally. Is Fourth Brother off work? There was a hint of a smile in Pei Jingzhous voice. Im surprised to hear you call me that. Li Xiwu: Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Whats so surprising? How many people in the capital with the surname Pei could there be? If she called him Mr. Pei as usual, the news of who her husband was would quickly be exposed on the Internet tomorrow. As for arranging her and her husband to be in the same frame, Pei Jingzhou would not come, so she tried not to expose the surname Pei. Call me that in the future, he said. She agreed. Okay. Pei Jingzhou said, Say it again. Li Xiwu said, Huh? Pei Jingzhou: I want to hear it again. Li Xiwu: It was true that she had never called Pei Jingzhou Fourth Brother before. She would always call him Mr. Pei, whenever she was angry, she would call him Pei Jingzhou. She didnt think much of it when she called him that, but now At the same time, at the Pei residence of Lake Lu. The lights were off in the living room. Pei Jingzhou sat lazily in the armchair by the curtains, his long legs crossed. The tablet in front of him was playing the live broadcast of Mother-in-Law Joys second seasons fourth group of guests. His other hand was holding his phone close to his ear. He looked at Li Xiwus conflicted expression on the live broadcast and smiled. No? After hesitating, Li Xiwu obediently called out, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou said, Say it again. Li Xiwu, who had been quietly resting her hands on her thighs, slowly clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou looked at Li Xiwu, who was gritting her teeth on the live broadcast, and the smile on his lips deepened. Are you angry? Li Xiwu smiled as she clenched her molars. Not at all. Pei Jingzhou: Have your molars loosened? Li Xiwu: As they chatted, Pei Jingzhou suddenly reminded her, Dont eat the dishes. Li Xiwu was stunned for a few seconds. Huh? Pei Jingzhou repeated patiently, Dont eat the dishes. Dont eat the dishes? Was he reminding her not to eat Han Qianyes dishes? It seemed that he had already been watching the live broadcast while cooking dinner and had seen Han Qianyes dark cuisine with his own eyes. But he had already been watching the live broadcast at that time. Why didnt he answer her call? Li Xiwus lips parted. I know. Pei Jingzhou asked her, What do you want to eat? Ill get someone to send it to you. Send it to her? Does he not care about his mother? However, Pei Jingzhou never needed anyone to guess what he was doing. That wont be necessary. It wasnt convenient for her to say too much. The broadcast was still live. Pei Jingzhou nodded and hung up. Li Xiwu listened to the busy tone on the line and placed the phone screen facing the desktop. Seeing that Li Xiwu had finished the call, Han Qianye began to pick up her chopsticks. Try it. Li Xiwu took a breath. Thank you. She did not listen to Pei Jingzhous reminder. Even though she was very clear about her physical condition and knew what she would experience after eating the mushroom, she did not refuse and ate the mushroom that Han Qianye had given her. She didnt even frown as she forcefully swallowed it. However, Han Qianye frowned and pulled out two pieces of paper from the tissue box. She elegantly wrapped the food with the tissue and threw it into the trash can. She drank most of the warm water in the cup in one go. When she looked up again, she saw that Li Xiwu was calmly eating the dishes shed made tonight. Han Qianyes conscience was still there. After all, it was really too salty. She said to Li Xiwu, Its a little salty. Dont eat it. Li Xiwus grip on the chopsticks was steady, her other hand on the bowl in front of her. Its fine. I can eat. Fine? Han Qianye could not believe that Li Xiwu actually said that it was fine. It was simply too salty to eat. Li Xiwu picked up another piece of mushroom. Seeing that she was about to eat it, Han Qianye asked, Is it really delicious? Li Xiwu said, Yeah. The mushrooms were already very soft and mushy. The eggs were all small pieces. It was true that they were very salty. Han Qianye had mixed feelings. Was this daughter-in-law giving her too much face?! She couldnt even swallow it! C Han Qianye barely ate this dinner. Only Li Xiwu quietly moved her chopsticks and reached into the egg and mushroom soup several times. However, she did not eat much. There were only seven or eight mouthfuls in total. As Li Xiwu and Han Qianye did not communicate much, the popularity of the live-stream was not very high. The number of online viewers had decreased from more than 800,000 during the day to only 200,000 at night. In the live-stream of the first group, the number of online viewers had already exceeded two million. The difference was really huge. [Min Hanrong and her daughter-in-law look more comfortable. Group Fours mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dont look too familiar. Its like they just met on the first day.] [Li Xiwus husband is also mysterious. Hes not some super-rich person. Is that necessary?] [Tao Jings hands are really beautiful. As expected of a pianist.] [And Tao Jings clothes are also very beautiful. Ive already screenshotted it and searched for it. The tears of the slum girl flowed like the West Lake. More than 3,000 yuan.] [Min Hanrongs three dishes look pretty good. Although theyre all vegetarian, theyre really not much better than the fourth group.] [Theres only one bowl of egg and mushroom soup in the fourth group. Look at my frown.] [I dont like the atmosphere in Group Four. Its always dead.] [Group Four is basically where the mother-in-law takes the initiative to speak. Han Qianye cant bear for Li Xiwu to do this and that, but Li Xiwu looks indifferent and her answer is very official. Did she used to be a phone customer service manager?] Li Xiwu and Han Qianye were both recording and did not know what the comments in the live-stream were talking about. The live recording of the first day ended smoothly after the two groups of guests sat together and chatted for half an hour after the meal. The performance of the four groups of guests was not bad. Min Hanrongs group had the highest popularity online, and Xie Wens group had the highest discussion. Li Xiwu and Xiang Lans results were about the same. Li Xiwu returned to the guest room as if nothing had happened. The moment she closed the door, she felt relieved. Han Qianye also returned to her room. After closing and locking the door, she immediately took her phone to her bed and called her friend. Lin Yourong asked, Is the recording over? Its over. Im exhausted. After saying that, Han Qianye began to complain. Theres no freedom when Im recording a show at all. There are cameras everywhere, and Im afraid of making a fool of myself. I have to pay attention to everything. In the end, I still made a fool of myself today. That lyns? I really dont know. Lin corrected him. What lyns? Thats a lynx. Han Qianye said, Something like that. Lin Yourong laughed at her. That means a world of difference. Han Qianye said angrily, Aiya, thats not important. Okay, okay, okay. Returning to the main topic, Lin Yourong said, Ive watched the live broadcast. Many people online dont like your group now. Han Qianye asked, What? Lin Yourong realized that she had said something wrong and said again, They do not like Li Xiwu. Han Qianye snorted. Thats more like it. The two of them chatted. At the same time, Li Xiwu, who was next door, turned pale. She held her stomach and slowly squatted down. Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu endured the discomfort in her abdomen and squatted for a while before getting up. However, the discomfort did not improve. She grabbed her cell phone and dialed an urgent number for Qiao Qiao. There was a lot of static on Qiao Qiaos end, but it didnt stop Li Xiwu from hearing her clearly. Im on my way to pick you up. Hang in there. Ill be here soon. Li Xiwu smiled with relief. Im fine. Im holding up. Qiao Qiao arrived in Fu Town a few minutes later. Because she could not enter, Li Xiwu could only go out. The inn was about a hundred meters away from the entrance. Li Xiwu called the shows driver to send her to the entrance of Fu Town. At the same time, she called Director Gao and told him in advance that she would be late when she came tomorrow morning. Director Gao did not say anything else. He only reminded Li Xiwu not to be too late. After getting into the car, the driver noticed that Li Xiwu was in a bad state. Are you going to the hospital? Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. The driver said, Gastroenteritis? Li Xiwu raised his eyes and looked at the driver. The driver said, My daughter was like you when she had gastroenteritis. Li Xiwu explained, Im allergic to mushrooms. Ill just go to the hospital and get some medicine. The driver secretly noted this, just now, Director Gao had asked him to ask indirectly where Li Xiwu was going and what was going on. Now, he had asked clearly: Mushroom allergy, going to the hospital. A few minutes later, Li Xiwu was in Qiaos car. Qiao Qiao kept accelerating. I dont want the ambulance driving us both to the hospital instead of you, Li Xiwu reminded her. Qiao Qiao laughed. Shut your trap. Li Xiwu rubbed her stomach gently. Do you think Im asking for trouble? Qiao Qiao knew what was going on. Its just like asking for trouble. As she spoke, the corners of Qiao Qiaos lips curled up. It seems like no one was alarmed at night. In fact, youve already arranged every step. Tomorrow, the production team will know that you were hospitalized because of a mushroom allergy. If Han Qianye had any conscience, she would restrain herself a little. But seriously, did you have to put yourself in danger? Do you know that if your allergy is serious, your life will be in danger? Li Xiwu smiled without flinching. I know my limits. She had been precise about how much to eat. Nothing serious would happen. She would just suffer a little. C Han Qianye, who was still on the phone with Lin Yourong in the bedroom, did not know that Li Xiwu had been hospitalized because of her mushroom allergy. Lin Yourong was giving her some advice. There will be some small missions tomorrow. If the missions are slightly difficult, try your best to protect Li Xiwu and let yourself suffer a little. You should know what to do next, right? Han Qianye complained, Im already tired enough from pushing the luggage and cooking today. Why should I continue to suffer? Lin Yourong reminded her, Its only the first day and you cant take it anymore? Han Qianye said bitterly, Im tired. Lin Yourong asked, Do you still want to chase her out of the Pei family? Han Qianye sighed. Yes! Lin Yourong encouraged Han Qianye in all sorts of ways. How much effort did I put in to chase that Gao woman away back then? Let me tell you, you can definitely do what I taught you. These words more or less encouraged Han Qianye. Alright, Ill listen to you first. If Im tired, so be it. I dont want the late emperor to spend his budget before starting his business. 400 million yuan could not be wasted just like that. Oh yes. Lin Yourong suddenly said, I watched the live broadcast tonight. Your culinary skills Im really speechless, but I keep feeling that Li Xiwu knows how to cook. Are you sure she never cooks in the Pei residence? Han Qianye replied decisively, She doesnt know how to cook. She had heard from the auntie at Lake Lu that Li Xiwu had never cooked at home in the three years she had been married to Jingzhou. The food at home was all prepared by the auntie. Li Xiwu only cared about eating when she went back. C The next morning. Li Xiwu woke up and opened her eyes. She quietly looked at the white ceiling for a long time before realizing that she was in a hospital ward. She turned to look at the woman in the hospital next door. However, there was no bed or person. There was only a fabric sofa, and Pei Jingzhou was sitting on that sofa with his eyes closed. Li Xiwus first reaction was: Mushroom hallucinatory? If it wasnt a mushroom hallucination, how could she have seen Pei Jingzhou in her ward when she woke up around seven? It was unreal! Moreover, she had been in a double ward last night, but when she woke up, it was a single ward. Who had moved her to a single ward? Was it Qiao Qiao? But Li Xiwu had no impression of this at all. When she arrived at the hospital, she was already looking very pale. She fell asleep after getting an IV drip. The IV needle in the back of her hand must have been removed at midnight. Li Xiwu lifted the blanket and gently walked to Pei Jingzhou. She had no idea when Pei Jingzhou had arrived. She saw his windbreaker jacket on the sofa and his hand on his thigh. His long legs were casually crossed, and the tips of his shoes were pressed against the corner of the table. Slowly, she leaned forward and peered at him. Then she raised her hand and waved it in front of his face again. Her movements seemed strange. Pei Jingzhou opened his eyes when he heard a slight movement. When he opened his eyes, he saw Li Xiwu approaching him and waving her hand in front of him. Pei Jingzhou looked at her. Are you summoning souls? Li Xiwu straightened her back and said calmly, I want to confirm if its a mushroom hallucination. Pei Jingzhou: Are you surprised to see me when you wake up? Li Xiwu answered truthfully. A little. Shouldnt the person she woke up to be Qiao Qiao? By the way, where did Qiao Qiao go? As if reading her mind, she heard Pei Jingzhou say, Your friend went back. Oh, Li Xiwu said. She turned around and walked into the bathroom. She didnt ask the rest. For example, when did he arrive? When did he know she was in the hospital? Did he arrange for her to be admitted to a single ward? Other than Qiao Qiao, who was closest to her, Xie Wen was also the one who knew about her mushroom allergy. Whether Pei Jingzhou knew or not, she was not sure. Anyway, when she ate with him, mushrooms had never appeared at the dining table. A few minutes later, Li Xiwu came out of the bathroom. Pei Jingzhou had already gotten up. He stood at the sliding window of the ward to answer the call. He held a lighter in his other hand. Li Xiwu tried to be as quiet as possible so as not to affect him from answering the phone. She stood quietly by the bed. After a few more minutes, when Pei Jingzhou finished the call, Li Xiwu said, Im going to prepare to leave for Fu Town to record the variety show. Thank you for coming to visit, Mr. Pei. Im fine now. She was extremely polite. Pei Jingzhou put his phone in his pocket and walked towards Li Xiwu. His footsteps were steady, neither fast nor slow. Although he was expressionless, his aura was like the mountains and seas. Before Li Xiwu could react, Pei Jingzhou suddenly pressed her shoulder and she sat back down on the bed. He leaned forward slightly, his palm tickling her face. Do you want me to help you remember what you called me last night? Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Last night? What happened last night? Li Xiwu tried to remember if she had woken up halfway last night and something indescribable had happened between her and Pei Jingzhou. The memory was always blank inside. She began to think about something else. Pei Jingzhou wouldnt do anything beastly to her while she was sick, right?! The hand hed used to tickle her cheek slowly slid down to grip her chin instead. Do you remember? Li Xiwu answered frankly, No. Pei Jingzhou pressed her onto the bed in a familiar manner. He had yet to make his next move, but Li Xiwu already knew that she was afraid. Although such things usually happened naturally in the morning, this was a hospital. Besides, she still had to record a variety show later. She could not leave any traces on her body. Mr. Pei, I was wrong. Hmm? I was wrong, she repeated. Although her entire body was stiff, her words were soft. She still gave in to him. Pei Jingzhous fingers stopped on her collarbone. It seems that you still havent remembered. Fourth Brother! She shouted just in time. Pei Jingzhous eyes were filled with an unclear smile. Do you remember now? Li Xiwu admitted, I didnt forget. I was just joking with Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou felt comfortable hearing her call him Fourth Brother. He grabbed Li Xiwus back and helped her up. Be good. Li Xiwu looked at him with sparkling almond-shaped eyes. What is considered good? Pei Jingzhous eyes darkened. You dont want to leave? Li Xiwu deliberately stretched out her delicate hands and placed them on Pei Jingzhous chest. Her beautiful lips curled up. Fourth Brother, you probably wont argue with a patient. Since she mentioned being a patient, Pei Jingzhous expression turned ugly. How reasonable. After a while, Li Xiwu also called him Fourth Brother. When did Qiao Qiao leave? Pei Jingzhou asked, Why didnt you ask me when I came? Li Xiwu said, Then when did Fourth Brother Pei Jingzhou: In the middle of the night. Li Xiwu: To be honest, she didnt really believe it for a moment. But she couldnt show it. Currently, Li Xiwus condition has improved a lot. Her mushroom allergy symptoms happened in her stomach, so the infusion was the best. Pei Jingzhou brought her to Shengshi Hotel for breakfast. Shengshi Hotel was the number one hotel under the Pei Corporation. Li Xiwu had been here many times and was already familiar with the place. On the way in with Pei Jingzhou, they met two CEOs who were working with the Pei Corporation. These two CEOs were followed by beautiful young women. They were not secretaries or assistants because proper secretaries and assistants would not walk hand in hand with their CEOs. In addition, she had followed the boss out of the hotel early in the morning. The rest was self-evident. When the first boss saw Pei Jingzhou, he went forward and greeted him politely. Pei Jingzhous expression was calm as he replied politely. The lover beside the boss sized up Li Xiwu with an unfriendly gaze. Li Xiwu met the other partys gaze calmly with the same expression as Pei Jingzhou. The lover thought that the other party was competing with her in terms of aura. At this moment, the CEO beside her greeted her nicely, Mrs. Pei, we meet again. You look so good today. Li Xiwu raised her lips. Thank you. The expression on the lovers face froze, and all her aura was instantly lost on the word Mrs. Pei. She had thought that she was a lover like her. Unexpectedly, she was the legitimate wife. In an instant, the lover lowered her head in shame, not daring to look into Li Xiwus eyes again. Li Xiwu did not take this lover seriously at all. She was not Pei Jingzhous lover outside. Of course, even if Pei Jingzhous lover outside met her, she would not take it seriously. For example, the last time at the hotel, she could calmly ignore it. After the boss pulled his lover aside, Pei Jingzhou held Li Xiwus hand and went to the hotel restaurant. The waiter respectfully handed Li Xiwu the menu. Mrs. Pei. Li Xiwu didnt take it. Same as before. Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou had come to eat in the restaurant of Shengshi Hotel a few times. The waiter had also served the two of them many times. He knew that Mrs. Pei liked to eat Cantonese breakfast, and Mr. Peis taste was the same as Mrs. Peis. While they waited, Li Xiwu began to deal with work. Pei Jingzhou was also on the phone. The couple seemed to be extremely busy. After settling a small problem with Ji Weilings new scene, Ji Weiling sent her a voice message. For a moment, Li Xiwu forgot that she had set the speaker on. She clicked on [Miss Li ~ I love you ~ You have to always love me, okay ~ Always ~ ] Ji Weilings soft voice was very soft. After the voice was enlarged by the speaker, it entered Li Xiwus ears especially clearly and Pei Jingzhous ears opposite her. Li Xiwu was stunned for a few seconds. As if sensing something, she looked up at Pei Jingzhou, who was sitting opposite her. After seeing Pei Jingzhous gaze, she coughed awkwardly and explained, Its Ji Weiling. Pei Jingzhous gaze just now seemed to have already convicted her of having an affair with another woman behind his back. So she explained who had sent the voice message. Buzz. Buzz. Ji Weiling sent two more voice messages in a row. Li Xiwu turned off the speaker and pressed the phone to her ear to hear what Ji Weiling said. [Miss Li, focus on recording your mother and daughter-in-laws variety show. The busier you are, the better. Dont worry. I will listen to you and work hard during this period. I will definitely not be gluttonous on set. I will definitely not stay up late at night. I will definitely be your most outstanding baby.] Li Xiwu: If President Qi had not sent her a message early this morning, she would have been confused by Ji Weilings words. Before she entered the industry, the first person she brought up was Xie Wen. In just two years, she had raised Xie Wen to the position of the number one celebrity in Hua Guan, becoming the fastest money tree in Hua Guan in recent years. After that, because of the matter of giving birth, Hua Guan gave up on Xie Wen. Ji Weilings management contract was signed with Li Xiwu. In just a year, Li Xiwu helped Ji Weiling win the Best Supporting Actress Award with a drama. Now that there were many resources in Hua Guan, but the newcomers were always not very outstanding, President Qi signed a group of newcomers from the Drama Academy into the company. Currently, President Qis intention was for her to bring another newcomer while taking care of Ji Weiling. This newcomer was chosen by President Qi. President Qi had sent her a message this morning, asking her to return to the company to meet this newcomer when she was free. Ji Weiling was clearly afraid that she would fall out of favor after leading a newcomer and feel threatened. Li Xiwu replied to Ji Weiling, then put down her phone. She looked up and saw Pei Jingzhou looking at her quietly. Her eyes were filled with indifference as she casually cut to the next topic. Does Fourth Brother know what Mother-in-Law Joys first season program has? Pei Jingzhou folded his hands and stared at Li Xiwu quietly. After a moment, he slowly said, I didnt pay attention. Li Xiwu, of course, knew that he wasnt paying attention. She brought up this topic because she had something to say. Mother-in-law Joys first season is very rich in content. In the future, the daughter-in-law will bring her husband on camera. Pei Jingzhou stared at Li Xiwu without blinking. Are you inviting me or informing me? Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu raised her lips in response. It depends on how Fourth Brother interprets that. She knew very well that a big shot in the business world like Pei Jingzhou, who was famous in the entire capital, would not agree to record a variety show with her. Moreover, he would appear in front of the public in such a way. Obviously, that wasnt realistic. Although Li Xiwu knew that he would not go, she had to let him know. If the production team asked, Pei Jingzhou would send someone to settle this matter first. She didnt have to think of a reason to say anything. She could just film the show in peace. Pei Jingzhou looked at her in confusion. Why did you insist on recording this variety show? The implication was, what good would it do her? As the number one of the media company now, she was busy leading rising celebrities and planning their acting paths. She was busy endorsing celebrities and flying around several cities. She was so busy, but she actually agreed to film a variety show with Han Qianye. Li Xiwu probably didnt expect Pei Jingzhou to suddenly ask this. Theres a fee for being on the show. Its more than what I earn from running for a month. Why not? Money again. ? Pei Jingzhou raised his chin slightly. Did you go to the Haojiang Casino behind my back and become poor? Why are you so short of money recently? She just wanted to get a considerable amount of divorce property from Han Qianye. Gambling? She would never touch gambling and drugs in her life. Porn is counted separately. After two or three seconds of silence, she offered another explanation. I want to be more tired. It would be more fulfilling. She thought there was nothing wrong with her explanation. But to Pei Jingzhou, it sounded like another matter. In other words, you arent tired enough so you cant sense the sense of fulfillment? Li Xiwu still didnt think there was anything wrong with this. She answered, Yes. As she finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and pointed upwards. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows, not understanding the gesture. But she soon understood, because Pei Jingzhou said, Go back to Lake Lu or go up. Your choice. There was no need to say anything else. Li Xiwu immediately understood what he meant. She cleared her throat. I just got out of the hospital. I was hoping Fourth Brother would be humane. Li Xiwu, why are your words so incoherent? Just now, you said that you werent tired enough and didnt have a sense of fulfillment. Pei Jingzhous casual tone reminded her. Shed clearly said that work wasnt tiring or fulfilling enough. But how could she have known that these words would become another meaning in Pei Jingzhous eyes? This breakfast did not take long. The phone beside her hand kept vibrating. It was a call from Qiao Qiao. Li Xiwu couldnt pick it up, mainly because it wasnt convenient to talk to Qiao Qiao in front of Pei Jingzhou. Li Xiwu stood up. Fourth Brother, Ill go over first. Pei Jingzhou was indifferent and did not look at her. When Li Xiwu was about to walk past him, Pei Jingzhou stopped her. Return to Lake Lu tonight. Ill send someone to pick you up. Li Xiwu knew what returning to Lake Lu meant. Not tonight, she said. Maybe tomorrow night. She guessed that Pei Jingzhou might not agree. She would find another excuse when the time came. However, the usually autocratic Pei Jingzhou actually replied, Up to you. With that, he stood up and buttoned the front of his abdomen. He raised his hand to look at his watch and reminded Li Xiwu before he left, Remember to go home when youre done playing. With that, he left. Li Xiwu quietly watched Pei Jingzhou leave. For a moment, her emotions were in turmoil. Apart from not really loving her, Pei Jingzhou was really outstanding in all aspects. And she had almost lost herself because of this man. She had even thought of completely replacing that first love and staying by his side forever. She would not make a fuss and spend the rest of her life with him in peace. Now, whether it was the deadline of the agreement or the appearance of other women around him, they were all reminding Li Xiwu not to be stupid. Getting out as soon as possible was her safest way out. Yes, she must get out as soon as possible. C She left the Shengshi Hotel. Li Xiwu got into the car that had been arranged by Pei Jingzhou to take her to Fu Town. She took the opportunity to call Qiao Qiao back. Qiao Qiao asked her anxiously, Did Pei Jingzhou do anything to you? Instead of answering, Li Xiwu asked, What time did you leave last night? Speaking of that! Qiao Qiao sighed. Not long after I brought you to the hospital last night, you fainted. I even prepared a bed to sleep beside you. Who knew that Pei Jingzhou would call you at this time? At that time, Li Xiwu was in a coma. Qiao Qiao looked at the vibrating phone and was a little afraid. She hesitated for a long time before answering. She wanted to hide it, but before she could say anything, she took the initiative to tell Pei Jingzhou about the hospital where Li Xiwu was, including her condition. Qiao Qiaos bitter voice said, My mouth is useless in front of a capitalist. Li Xiwu soothed her. Who isnt? Qiao Qiao felt the comfort Li Xiwu gave her. Thinking about what she had seen with her own eyes last night, she reminded Li Xiwu, To be honest, there really isnt anything to say about how well Pei Jingzhou treats you. Li Xiwu didnt understand the cause of her words. Huh? Qiao Qiao passed on what she had seen last night to Li Xiwu. You didnt know since you were unconscious. A few minutes after I used your phone to answer Pei Jingzhous call last night, he came to the hospital. Without a word, he changed you to a separate ward and carried you over personally. After that, he chased me away. At first, I was worried. What would happen to you if I left? Pei Jingzhou said that he would guard you all night. He didnt really guard you all night, did he? Li Xiwu: When Qiao Qiao didnt hear Li Xiwus reply, she knew shed hit the nail on the head. This Pei Jingzhou is really good to you, she said with a sigh. Although Li Xiwu did not reply just now, it did not mean that she was not awake. Her voice was much lighter than before. He has been very good to me for the past three years. C It was only when she reached the entrance to Fu Town that Li Xiwu ended the call with Qiao Qiao. When she got out of the car and went in, she happened to see Tao Jing. Tao Jing was surprised to see Li Xiwu. She asked worriedly, Miss Li, why are you here? Li Xiwu guessed that she probably knew and pretended not to be on the same channel. Whats wrong? Tao Jing said with concern, I heard from Director Gao that you were hospitalized last night. Are you feeling better? Li Xiwu beamed. Im fine, thanks for asking. Tao Jing said, Youre already in the hospital. How can you be fine? Seriously, you have to tell me in advance that youre allergic to mushrooms. What if the situation is serious? Come in quickly. My mother-in-law made breakfast. Lets eat together. Li Xiwu wanted to say that she had already eaten breakfast, but Tao Jing had already invited her, so she agreed. Thank you. Dont mention it. Were all filming together. Tao Jing took the initiative to take Li Xiwus hand and they walked in side by side. Just as they were about to step through the threshold, they bumped into Han Qianye again. The two of them met. Li Xiwu simply said good morning. Han Qianye did not look very comfortable. She did not know what to say, so she reached out to Li Xiwu first. Li Xiwu looked at Han Qianyes outstretched hand and did not understand what she meant for a moment. She heard Han Qianye say in an uncomfortable tone, Its early in the morning. Its cold outside. Come in quickly. Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was autumn in the capital, and the weather was clear and cold. Especially in the morning. So her hands were cold. Han Qianye held Li Xiwus hand and felt that her hand was as cold as ice. She could not help but think of last night and frown. Her emotions were indescribably complicated. Min Hanrong, who had finished preparing breakfast, saw Han Qianye pull her daughter-in-law in and asked with concern, Miss Li, are you feeling better? Li Xiwu said, Im fine. When Min Hanrong heard this, she wanted to say more, so she put down what she was doing and walked over. Everyone just heard that you were hospitalized last night. Its good that youre fine. To be able to continue filming, it was obvious that the situation was not serious. However, Han Qianyes worried frown this morning did not seem fake. Min Hanrong could not tell if she was really worried or just pretending. How could she not know that her daughter-in-law was allergic to mushrooms? It was obvious that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not live together much. A few minutes later, Han Qianye pulled Li Xiwu back to the room upstairs. After closing the door, Li Xiwu did not say a word and waited for Han Qianye to explode in anger. She was also prepared to be criticized. In any case, she would not regret what she had done. However, the entire room was silent for a long time. Han Qianye did not say a word. Li Xiwu turned to look at Han Qianye, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met. In the end, Li Xiwu spoke first. Are you angry? Han Qianyes tone was unreadable. Why would I be angry? Im not the one who was hospitalized for mushroom allergies. Li Xiwu looked away. I left in a hurry last night. I didnt have time to tell you. Han Qianye sneered. Ha! Li Xiwu: When she woke up this morning and couldnt find Li Xiwu, she found out from Director Gao that Li Xiwu had gone to the hospital last night because of her mushroom allergy. Han Qianyes mood was very complicated at that time. She didnt even know if she was angry or something else. Even now it was unclear. Han Qianye said, You Li Xiwu said, You They spoke at the same time. You first, Li Xiwu said. Han Qianye did not stand on ceremony. Then, she erupted with the anger that she had been suppressing since just now. Dont you know that youre allergic to mushrooms? When we were choosing vegetables for dinner, you should have mentioned that youre allergic to mushrooms! I dont care what kind of mentality you have, but what if something happens to you? Do you take your own body seriously! Li Xiwu was slightly stunned. She was prepared to face Han Qianyes anger. She thought that Han Qianye would scold her for being scheming and such nasty words. After all, she seemed to have a particularly good relationship with her daughter-in-law during the day. In the end, she didnt even know that her daughter-in-law was allergic to mushrooms. She even specially made mushroom soup for her daughter-in-law to eat, causing her to be hospitalized overnight. If this matter was exposed online, it would be very disadvantageous for Han Qianye. Why arent you saying anything? Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu angrily. Li Xiwu cleared her throat. I wasnt thinking. It was a very lame reason. Han Qianye naturally did not believe him. She said the truth shrewdly, You want to strike first, right? Of course Li Xiwu wouldnt admit it. I dont know what you mean. Han Qianye said, Dont give me that. Dont think I dont know what youre thinking. At this point, Han Qianyes tone was a little calmer than before. At least, she was not as angry as before. Li Xiwu, Im warning you. Youre not allowed to challenge me with your body, understand? Li Xiwu felt an indescribable emotion in her heart. However, in the next second, Han Qianye added, If anything happens to you, wont my son become a widower at such a young age? Divorce is better than being widowed. Its unlucky to be widowed. Li Xiwu: Knock, knock, knock Someone knocked on the door. Han Qianye raised her neck and asked, Who is it? Gao Yueban, who was standing outside the door, craned his neck. I heard that Miss Li is back. Miss Li, how are you? Li Xiwu went to open the door. Gao Yueban saw that it was Li Xiwu who opened the door. He sized her up and asked, Are you alright? Li Xiwu shook her head. Its a small matter. Ive made Director Gao worry. How can it be a small matter? But its good that youre fine. By the way, can you record the show normally today? The first part of the sentence indicated that Gao Yueban was relieved. The latter part was what Gao Yueban was most worried about. It was only the second day of the programs recording. If Li Xiwu took leave on the second day, the mission script would have to be adjusted. But what Gao Yueban had feared would not happen. Li Xiwu said, Im fine. It wont affect the recording. Gao Yueban heaved a sigh of relief and said, Thats good, thats good. He was completely relieved. Gao Yueban half raised his hand to look at his watch. Its almost nine. Get ready. The makeup artist will come in immediately. The live broadcast will start at ten. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. After Gao Yueban left, Li Xiwu did not close the door. She turned to Han Qianye and said, Im going back next door. Han Qianye ignored her and swiped her phone calmly. C The first task of todays live broadcast was to operate the inn. After the programs organizers rented the Inn From Beyond, it was not open to the public. However, it was not open to the public here, specifically referring to real tourists, the ordinary tourists arranged by the program would come to the inn. Real tourists could not communicate in advance. It was easy to go wrong during a live broadcast. All kinds of things were impossible to guard against. After all, they had to prioritize the audiences perception. After accepting the first mission, Tao Jing began to feel troubled. What if customers come to stay and want to eat? Min Hanrong took the initiative and said, Its fine. Ill cook. Tao Jings heart ached for her mother-in-law. Thats too hard. Min Hanrong smiled gently. The capable ones will go first. Only I can cook a few dishes here. As soon as she said this, Han Qianye, who was beside her, began to feel uncomfortable. Theyre here to stay, not to eat vegetarian food. What she meant was that those tourists came here to have fun and eat happily. Min Hanrong knew how to cook, but she only knew how to cook those few vegetarian dishes. She didnt know anything about cooking, stew, or dishes that could be served. Although she was insulted, Min Hanrong was very magnanimous and did not get angry. She even asked with a pleasant smile, Why dont you do it? In other words, with your bad cooking skills, can you give it to the guests? Even your daughter-in-law was hospitalized overnight because she ate your food. Han Qianye was speechless. If she didnt know how to cook, she wouldnt have to endure this! Turning around to look at her silent daughter-in-law, Han Qianye felt even more complicated. She suddenly regretted coming to this show. She would have just given Li Xiwu 400 million yuan and asked her to take the money and quickly divorce Jingzhou. Why did she have to listen to Lin Yourong and come to the show to suffer? Why doesnt she just find an excuse to leave the show? Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The live broadcast started at ten. With yesterdays warm-up, the number of netizens camping today doubled. Compared to Min Hanrong, who was first in popularity yesterday, Xie Wens group was first in popularity today. Min Hanrongs group was second in popularity, Xiang Lans group was third, and Li Xiwus group was last. Xiang Lan and her daughter-in-law, Xu Muzhen, were the most ordinary guests in this episode. There were no trivial matters in life, and there were no arguments between mother and daughter-in-law, but it was not peaceful. Because Xu Muzhen was about to break down even though it was only the second day of the broadcast. Xu Muzhen was a doctor. She often stayed up late to work. Recently, in order to record a variety show, she had discussed with the hospital before temporarily reducing her shifts. Initially, she thought that she could have a good sleep during the filming of the variety show. Unexpectedly, before seven in the morning, she was grabbed from the bed by her mother-in-law, Xiang Lan, and was dragged to the living room to do calisthenics. When she could sleep early at 10 PM, her mother-in-law dragged her out to do more calisthenics. This was simply torture for Xu Muzhen, who had crazy biological clock and wanted to sleep in. Not only did the netizens not feel heartache, but they were also very happy to see this. [If I had a mother-in-law like Xiang Lan, my fats would have long disappeared.] [Some people say that Xiang Lan doesnt give her daughter-in-law a good rest. Its too suffocating to do aerobics all the time, but why do I feel that this is also for her daughter-in-laws good? The doctors day and night shifts are reversed, and her biological clock is in chaos. Xiang Lan is saving her daughter-in-law. If this continues, she will be gone before she becomes a director.] [Being a doctor is really tiring. My husband didnt get his Mediterranean hairstyle from studying back then. He got it when he worked as a doctor. He said it almost killed him.] [During last nights live broadcast, the netizens were really too funny. They were laughed to death by Xu Muzhens to slack off.] [I just want to see Xu Muzhen get caught.] C Around eleven oclock, tourists started coming into the inn. The first young couple was arranged by the program team, their identities are researchers on animal protection. The second middle-aged couple were serious plant experts. Min Hanrong was recognized by the young couple the moment she appeared. The girl covered her mouth in shock. Are you Min Hanrong? Min Hanrongs outfit today was even more exquisite and beautiful than yesterday. She was wearing a dark brown knitted dress with a slim-fit design. Her hair was long and curly, and she looked to be in her early thirties. When she stood with her daughter-in-law, Tao Jing, they looked like a pair of sisters. Min Hanrong smiled gently. Yes. Ah, ah, ah! Oh my god! Im seeing Min Hanrong in person! The girl was shocked after she confirmed Min Hanrongs identity, then she screamed excitedly. The girls boyfriend was surprised, too. The look on his face said it all. The live-stream exploded at the same time. [If I meet Min Hanrong by chance, I can brag about this in front of my father for the rest of my life.] [Min Hanrong is so beautiful today. My dad said that.] [If I bump into Min Hanrong, the first thing Ill do is take a photo.] [Someone revealed that the place where the program is being recorded is in Fu Town. If it wasnt so troublesome to go to Fu Town now, I would have gone there.] [This young couple is actually doing research. No wonder they can enter Fu Town. Its really difficult to enter Fu Town recently.] [I was lucky enough to go to Fu Town a few years ago. The only thing I felt was that I could break the law if I wasnt careful.] It was nearing noon. Min Hanrong personally cooked lunch for the two young couples. Tao Jing was in charge of livening up the atmosphere. They chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was especially good. Ive watched Mother Dragons videos several times. I dont know why, but Mother Dragon hasnt updated her works recently. Tao Jing took out her phone. She wanted to show her mother-in-law, Min Hanrong, the cooking video that Mother Dragon had posted on the short video software. She refreshed it. It has been half a month since the last update. You follow Mother Dragon too? It was the girl from the couple. Her name was Wan Yu. Tao Jing followed the voice and looked at Wan Yu. When they looked at each other, she knew that she had met a soulmate. She nodded. A year ago, Mother Dragon composed Altenis. It was forwarded on various platforms. It took me a long time to find Mother Dragons short video account. I followed her then. Wan Yu was especially surprised. What a coincidence. I also paid attention to her because of that piano piece in A minor. At that time, it was very popular. I heard that she was the disciple of a certain master, and I also heard that she just happened to have the luck to promote short videos. However, I think that no matter what the outside world says, Mother Dragon is a god in my heart! Tao Jing and Wan Yu immediately found a common topic. The two of them chatted non-stop on the topic of Mother Dragon. Min Hanrong, who was preparing the dishes, asked, Could this Mother Dragon be a foreigner? It was Wan Yu who answered: I think thats possible. Although I followed Mother Dragon just to wait for her to post another song one day, the videos of her cooking later were also very attractive. Looking at the comments, I realized that several dishes were from Kelantan. Is it possible that Mother Dragon is from Kelantan? Tao Jing added, I dont think so. Ive seen all those cooking videos. Other than Kelantans dishes, there are also dishes from T Nation. Its too difficult to guess Mother Dragons nationality. Min Hanrong had never seen the Mother Dragon that her daughter-in-law was discussing with this female researcher. Out of curiosity, she asked Tao Jing to show her Mother Dragons short video. [Introduction to the Tyrant Dragon: Short video creator, food blogger, and so on: Dragon Dragon, Dragon Baby, Mother Dragon.] [With the creation of the first short video, Altenis in A Minor, it has received 8,000,000 likes. Currently, each account has accumulated 90,000,000 likes, a total of 27 short videos have been released, and 16,000,000 fans.] After Min Hanrong read Mother Dragons summary on the short video, she said in surprise, This Mother Dragon only posted a total of 20 videos of cooking. She actually has so many fans? She actually has more fans than a star. She couldnt have bought the fans right? As if seeing through Min Hanrongs thoughts, Wan Yu immediately said, Actually, at least 10 million of these 10 million fans are following her because of Altenis. Tao Jing agreed with Wan Yu. Yes. Her seemingly casual creation of Altenis was actually a level that many professionals could not match. She relied on her strength to gain fans. Min Hanrong was immediately interested in this blogger. She took out her hand from the basin and wiped it clean before reaching out. Show me her cooking videos. Tao Jing handed the phone to Min Hanrong. At this moment, Tao Jing and Wan Yu were not the only ones discussing the blogger, Mother Dragon. On the screen of the live-stream, there were also comments related to Mother Dragon Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations [Im so happy. I finally saw a feature on Mother Dragon today.] [I was very excited when Tao Jing played Altenis in A Minor yesterday, but because everyone was spamming Min Hanrong, not many people talked about Mother Dragon.] [Make the best songs and cook the best dishes. I love Mother Dragon.] [Super curious about what Mother Dragons life is like in person. Does she have a boyfriend? Is she married? Does she have children? Does she live in some poetic town?] [Im even more curious about what Mother Dragon looks like. Ive been paying attention to her for a year, but her face has never appeared on screen.] [As expected, its a special topic about the Mother Dragon today. The comments are all about the Mother Dragon. I thought our Mother Dragon was so low-key. Everyone only knows about Altenis and not the Mother Dragon.] [Are you kidding? Without the Mother Dragon, where would Altenis come from? Other than being curious about the Mother Dragons appearance, Im more curious about the friend who made the Mother Dragon regret.] [Im really afraid its a man. Mother Dragon is such an outstanding woman. If her regret was a man, what kind of woman can prosper in love?] Han Qianye listened to the heated discussion next door about a person called Mother Dragon. She was confused and turned to ask Li Xiwu, Who is Mother Dragon? Li Xiwu was looking at her phone. When she sensed that Han Qianye was looking at her, she also looked up at Han Qianye and replied, A short video creator. Han Qianye was curious. Is this Mother Dragon very popular? Li Xiwu said, Not so bad. Han Qianye propped her head up. Youre usually very busy, so you shouldnt have time to pay attention to these short videos. Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. I heard them talking about that Dragon Mother. Apart from being artistic, she seems to be very good at cooking? Han Qianye heard this clearly. Li Xiwu pocketed her phone. I think so. Han Qianye frowned when she heard that. You usually do nothing but work. When youre free, you should go online more often. Look, you dont know what theyre talking about. You cant talk at all. Li Xiwu agreed. Youre right. Han Qianye fell silent. Li Xiwus every move and every word did not sound very obedient to Han Qianye. More than that, she was bored. She couldnt understand why her son had kept such a boring person by his side for three long years. Now that plastic surgery technology was so advanced, there were many stand-ins. Why not keep the most similar one with the best personality? [The fourth groups daughter-in-law actually doesnt know about Mother Dragon?] [Han Qianye asked her daughter-in-law to go online, but she didnt.] [The Mother Dragon has a lot of influence on that short video. Everyone who uses that short video software should know about the Mother Dragon, right?] [I strongly suggest that the fourth group pay attention to Mother Dragon and learn her culinary skills.] In the chat between Han Qianye and Li Xiwu just now, she had shown that she did not know much about Mother Dragon. Originally, her live broadcast popularity was comparable to Xu Muzhens group, but now, she was completely behind. More than half of her online viewers had left. Gao Yueban sat in front of the monitor and worried. The popularity of Group Four is getting lower and lower. The assistant beside him suggested, Why dont we arrange a more detailed script for Group Four? Gao Yueban scratched his chin. How many scripts have been produced by the editors? The assistant couldnt remember. He took out his phone and checked the chat history with the editor. Two scripts have come up so far. Gao Yueban nodded. Ill talk to the director and the fourth group of guests tonight. Todays live broadcast has already started, so theres no time to follow the script. Gao Yueban was half-worried that if this continued, Group Fours live broadcast would not be able to continue. After a while, the pair of plant experts arrived at the inn. Li Xiwu went to entertain the two of them and made small talk with the two plant experts. Other than the research couple, the identities of the plant experts were all real. They were also experts that the production team had spent money to hire. Seeing that the group next door was already preparing lunch, Han Qianye was still worried. As much as she was worried, she also wanted to slack off. She was supposed to take care of the matter, but she suddenly lost her mood. She stopped Li Xiwu and said, Im not feeling well. Ill go up and rest. Li Xiwu did not ask anything and obediently replied, Okay, go rest. Then, Han Qianye left the live-stream. [I can tell that Han Qianyes mood cant be maintained for a moment.] [Its too hard on her to cook. When the camera hits her face, her brows furrow. I cant help but worry.] [I want to see Sister Li show her skills.] [Forget about Li Xiwu. Her culinary skills are probably inferior to her mother-in-laws. She might as well go to Group One and have a meal. Among the four groups, Xie Wens culinary skills are the best.] [Speaking of which, who did Xie Wen learn her culinary skills from? I remember that when Xie Wen first entered the industry, she said on the show that she was a kitchen idiot. Later on, she learned it from the people around her. At that time, I thought she learned it from Sister Li.] [Didnt Li Xiwus mother-in-law say last night that Li Xiwu had never entered the kitchen after marrying into a wealthy family?] [The rich wife and daughter-in-law from the previous season are still worth watching. They directly flaunted their wealth.] The comments screen was in full swing. When many netizens learned that Xie Wen was good at cooking, they all rushed into the third group of guests live-stream. Xie Wens live-stream has always been the most popular today. On the other hand, Min Hanrongs popularity was only lower than Xie Wens. After all, Min Hanrong was the goddess in many peoples hearts when she was young. Now that she is 40 years old, her looks and temperament are not inferior to when she was young. Now, she was more charming. Han Qianye, who was the same age and had the same beauty, had a mental breakdown. She returned to her room and called Lin Yourong to complain. I really dont want to record this lousy variety show for a minute. I cant do this or that. Id be embarrassed. This was different from what I originally thought. Shouldnt I be shopping, eating, and playing? Why am I here in this remote town? Theres no place for me to play at all. The more she spoke, the more depressed she became. Han Qianye looked at her new nails and sighed. Rongrong, come and pick me up. Lin Yourong scolded with a smile, Is that all youve got? In order to record this variety show, youve learned cooking and taken care of yourself. Youve put in so much effort and now youve seen a splash. Are you really going to give up just like that? Han Qianye said, Im not recording anymore. After saying that, Lin Yourong fell silent for a long time. Han Qianye thought that Lin Yourong felt that she was disappointing and ignored her angrily. She sighed. Well talk about the rest when I get back. Before she could finish, she heard Lin Yourong remind her on the phone, I thought Li Xiwu didnt know how to cook? Han Qianye nodded. Yes. But this Lin Yourong was depressed. Han Qianye was confused. What? Did something happen? Lin Yourong did not know how to describe the scene in the live-stream at this moment. She only reminded Han Qianye, Go downstairs and watch it yourself. Chapter 20 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Downstairs. After Han Qianye left, Li Xiwu was left alone to entertain the plant experts. She served tea and water and tried to make small talk with the two experts. After that, she found the menu that the innkeeper had used and handed it to the two experts. Uncle Cheng, Auntie Du, take a look at what you want to eat. After introducing herself, Li Xiwu also knew the names of the two plant experts. Cheng Zhongqing sat at the side. He took the menu and handed it to Du Xu. Take a look first. Du Xu knew in advance that this group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didnt know how to cook, so she thought that handing over the menu was just a process. She casually flipped through it and said, Im a little tired from driving here today and dont have much of an appetite. You can just cook something. Li Xiwu looked at Cheng Zhongqing. Cheng Zhongqing nodded and echoed Du Xus words. Just listen to Auntie Du. Dont trouble yourself. Just make something light. It was probably just a casual meal. There was nothing to eat. Li Xiwu said, You dont have much of an appetite to begin with. If the food is too light, you might have even less of an appetite. Du Xu didnt know what Group Fours daughter-in-law meant. She wondered if there were other plans for the show. Bland could reduce the autumn heat. Just dont make those complicated dishes, Du Xu said considerately. Cheng Zhongqing echoed, Yes, vegetables cool down the autumn heat. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. The inns kitchen was an open structure. When cooking, they could watch everything. Cameras were set up around them, and the staff were at the back. There were only two cameramen taking turns in front. Li Xiwu put on an apron and went to the kitchen counter to start preparing for the days lunch. Seeing that Li Xiwu was about to show off her skills, the cameraman subconsciously moved back a little, afraid that he would not be able to escape if the kitchen burned later. On the other side, Min Hanrong saw that Li Xiwu was alone, so she said to Tao Jing, Go to Miss Lis side and see if she needs help. Min Hanrong could not bear to let Tao Jings hands touch the kitchen. But it also depended on the situation. Moreover, if she let Tao Jing go over to help at this time, it would reflect her high-spirited side. Tao Jing agreed and went to Li Xiwu. [Im touched. At this critical moment, I still have to rely on Min Hanrong. She cant even bear to let Tao Jing help her, but she asked Tao Jing to help Group Four at this time.] [In such a situation, they still know the severity of the situation. The mother-in-law of Group 4 has given up. Only their daughter-in-law doesnt know anything.] [Im dying of laughter. Group Four is miserable.] [I think the production team assigned the wrong place. Group Four should be at the hotel. Switch Xie Wens group over.] [Li Xiwu: Ask Xie Wen for help ~] Some netizens were very enthusiastic and asked Xie Wen for help for Li Xiwu. Soon, the comments in Xie Wens live-stream became: [Call Xie Wen! Sister Li needs you!] [Xie Wen, quickly contact Sister Li online and teach her how to cook. It was so difficult for her today.] [If Xie Wen had given Li Xiwu a little of her cooking skills, Li Xiwu wouldnt have been so miserable at noon today. Her mother-in-law has already slack off.] [Li Xiwu: Im really stumped!] [Li Xiwu: Stress!] [Im going to die of laughter at the comments. Li Xiwu is still very calm, but everyone is not.] [Didnt anyone notice? Li Xiwu is a cold beauty. Even if shes anxious, no one can tell.] At this moment, the live comments were very cheerful. Tao Jing walked over to Li Xiwu and asked eagerly, What dish are you planning to make? Ill help you. Li Xiwu gave Tao Jing a friendly smile. She threw the broad beans into the pot to boil first. Tao Jing thought that Li Xiwu only wanted to cook boiled broad beans, but those two were plant experts. Wouldnt just having boiled broad beans be too shabby? She suggested kindly, Theres tofu here. Why dont we make another fried tofu? What do you think? Li Xiwu mused for a few seconds. Tofu will be useful. To Tao Jing, this meant that the tofu would be boiled later and served on the table. Tao Jing thought this was too shabby. Fried tofu would be nice. She had seen her mother-in-law cook this dish just now. Although it looked ordinary and tasted ordinary, it was simple! Just like that, Tao Jing immediately continued to persuade Li Xiwu to make fried tofu. Why dont we study it together? Tao asked. Li Xiwu said, Some of this is taking too much time. Ill prepare the food first. Tao Jing said, Okay, Ill help you. Although she was helping, Tao Jing could not help much. It was not that she was being sneaky, but Li Xiwus smooth cooking movements did not give her a chance to interfere. She cut the tofu in the palm of her hand into slices, and she was fast. Tao Jing was stunned. Even the cameramans eyes widened. Would she really not cut her hand? The point was that she really didnt seem to be afraid of cutting her hands off. Her fluid movements were fast and uncomplicated, and it gave the illusion that she was a good cook. After preparing the dishes, Li Xiwu turned to the stunned Tao Jing and said, The smoke will be heavier later. Stand over here. The smoke wont smoke you. Tao Jing was touched by her thoughtfulness. Oh, okay. She didnt know what Li Xiwu was going to cook next. She wanted to help, but she was afraid of the smoke. While she hesitated, Li Xiwu started the fire. Tao Jing walked around to the other side of the kitchen counter and asked, What are you going to cook? Li Xiwu looked up at the pottery crystals outside the kitchen counter. Mapo tofu. Tao Jings eyes widened. You know? She swallowed the last word. She almost said it. It would be disrespectful to say it out loud. Fortunately, she stopped herself in time. Tao Jing reminded Li Xiwu tactfully, I remember that Mapo Tofu needs minced meat, right? But you didnt prepare minced meat just now. Li Xiwu said, Mincing meat is too much work. Ill replace it with something else. Something else? Tao Jing felt that her horizons were being broadened! What ingredient could actually replace the taste of minced meat? Just as she was wondering, she saw Li Xiwu scoop out the cooked broad beans, skin them, and put them into a pot of oil. There was a splashing sound, the sound of broad beans going into a pan of oil. Tao Jing immediately moved to the side, afraid that the oil in the pot would splash on her. She looked at Li Xiwu again. She was standing upright in front of the kitchen counter, holding a pot in one hand and a spatula in the other. Her movements were methodical and very skilled. When Tao Jing saw this scene, she couldnt help but think in surprise. How was this not knowing how to cook? She was clearly very good at cooking! And her culinary skills were superb! Moreover, Tao Jing also realized that from this angle, Li Xiwus gesture looked so familiar. Chapter 21 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tao Jing wasnt the only one who found out. Wan Yu, who was sitting there chatting with her boyfriend, also realized it. She got up slowly and looked carefully in Li Xiwus direction. The more she looked, the more confused her expression became. Luo Xiaosong noticed his girlfriends strange expression and reached out to tug at Wan Yu twice to make her sit down. Wan Yu pushed her boyfriends hand away. Dont tug at me. I think I saw Min Hanrong, who had already finished cooking, was washing her hands. Seeing that Wan Yu had stood up and was looking at the fourth group intently, coupled with the fact that she heard their conversation, she casually asked, What are you looking at? Wan Yu turned to look at the smiling Min Hanrong and replied, No, I was just looking around. With that, she sat down. Luo Xiaosong asked Wan Yu, What did you see? Wan Yus expression was strange. Would you believe me if I said that I saw Mother Dragon? Luo Xiaosong replied calmly, Yes. Wan Yus eyes widened. Really? Luo Xiaosong said, Really. With that, he pointed to the sky outside the door. Theres a horn flying in the sky. Its you who is trying to blow it. Wan Yu: To be honest, Wan Yu would be surprised if Luo Xiaosong believed her. Look at Group Four yourself, Wan Yu said to her boyfriend. Luo Xiaosong glanced in that direction. Li Xiwu was cooking in an apron. Her back was straight, and she was very skilled at cooking methodically. The hand holding the spoon was stretched here and there, not messy at all. It was very pleasing to the eye. Luo Xiaosong couldnt help but stare for a few more seconds. Wan Yu asked, Like who? Luo Xiaosong recovered and asked, Like who? Wan Yu said, My mother! Luo Xiaosong snorted. Dont joke around. Shes so young, so In front of his girlfriend, Luo Xiaosong couldnt praise Li Xiwu for being beautiful. He skipped the praise and continued, If shes a mother-in-law, its fine if you say she looks like your mother. Miss Li is still so young. Its rude for you to say that. Wan Yu naturally knew that it was impolite to say so. But what she said just now was completely out of her mouth. She murmured, She really looked like Mother Dragon for a moment. Luo Xiaosong suddenly realized. So you mean the Mother Dragon? Wan Yu nodded vigorously. I just said that I felt like I saw Mother Dragon. You said that I was bragging. Luo Xiaosong raised his eyes and looked over again. Although he had followed Mother Dragon along with his girlfriend, he had only watched one of her videos. Unlike his girlfriend, who wouldnt get tired of watching a video eight hundred times. Each time she refreshed it, she had to comment: Mother blessed my mouth. I can eat three hundred pounds. Ill see who dares to be picky. Mother, throw the food along with the pot into my mouth. Mother, Im so stupid. I cant learn it. When youre done, just stuff the food in my mouth. Treat it as feeding a dog. Not only did Wan Yu call her mother when she commented, the other comments were all calling her mother. Wan Yu asked her boyfriend, Do you think so? Do you think so? Do you think so? She asked three times. Luo Xiaosongs reply was pertinent. At first glance, the action is very similar to the hand, but obviously it cant be Mother Dragon. Wan Yu nodded. I think so too. Luo Xiaosong said, Then why are you so excited? Wan Yu was very embarrassed. I just suddenly felt that I saw my mother for a moment. I couldnt control my excitement. Meanwhile, Tao Jing took the initiative to move closer to the kitchen counter and asked Li Xiwu, It smells so good. Miss Li, have you learned cooking before? After Li Xiwu finished cooking the Mapo Tofu, she answered Tao Jing, I didnt specially learn it. I studied a few dishes myself. Wow, youre amazing. You can do so well with your own research. While Tao Jing was talking to Li Xiwu, she kept looking at the plate of Mapo Tofu that was steaming. As she looked at the salivary glands in her mouth, she kept salivating. Li Xiwu saw Tao Jings appetite and suggested, Why dont you eat here? Tao Jing wanted to agree, but her mind was clear. Actually, we cooked too. Li Xiwu did not repeat her question again, she turned back to her second course. The second course was vegetarian. The vegetarian dishes only needed to be washed before they were cooked. The steps were very simple. However, Tao Jing realized that before Li Xiwu fried the vegetables, she had to blanch the vegetables first. Tao Jing didnt understand her way of doing things. Why did vegetables need to blanch? But she was too embarrassed to press the point. She was afraid that she would appear to know nothing. When Han Qianye went downstairs, Li Xiwu had already made Mapo Tofu. It was not that she was slow going downstairs, but when she was on the phone with Lin Yourong upstairs, Li Xiwu was already cooking downstairs. Lin Yourong also saw the scene of Li Xiwu cooking in the live broadcast. The more she watched, the stranger she felt. Didnt Han Qianye say that Li Xiwu never cooked? She could only remind Han Qianye to hurry downstairs and take a look. What smells so good? Han Qianye walked over while smelling the fragrance. Tao Jing saw Li Xiwus mother-in-law coming down and said, Miss Li cooked the dishes. Li Xiwu cooked the food? How was that possible! Han Qianye felt that Min Hanrongs daughter-in-law was joking with her, but that fragrance ruthlessly hooked her taste buds. How could it be so fragrant? It was the fragrance of three bowls of rice in one go. She walked over to see a plate of steaming, fragrant tofu on the kitchen counter. Han Qianye pointed and asked, Whats this? Tao Jing said, Mapo tofu. Han Qianye asked again, Did you make it? Tao Jing was surprised. She had already said that Miss Li had done it. Why did Miss Lis mother-in-law still ask? Then there was a clatter. Han Qianye and Tao Jing were shocked. They turned around and realized that it was the sound of vegetables being cooked in oil. Li Xiwu was focused on cooking. After pouring the vegetables into the pot, she stir-fried them and added seasoning. Han Qianye, who did not believe it at first, had no choice but to believe it after seeing Li Xiwu cook with her own eyes. But why hadnt Li Xiwu mentioned it? No, she had deliberately portrayed Li Xiwu as someone who would not enter the kitchen. Li Xiwu had never said so herself. Just as Han Qianye was wondering, she saw two dishes being served by Li Xiwu. Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu smelled the fragrance from afar and wondered what kind of big dish she had made. It was so fragrant that they were almost drooling. When the dishes were served, they saw that there were only two common and simple dishes: Mapo Tofu and stir-fried vegetables. Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu exchanged glances. The two of them couldnt help but wonder at the same time if they had made fish and meat for them to eat later. Otherwise, how could these two common dishes smell so good!? Du Xu probed, No other dishes? Li Xiwu smiled apologetically. Aunt Du, we dont have time to make more for lunch today. I can only make two dishes for the time being. Ill make a few more dishes tonight. I didnt mean that. Du Xu chuckled. Li Xiwu said, Try it first. Okay. Du Xu responded and was about to pick up her chopsticks when she saw that Cheng Zhongqing had already picked up his chopsticks and placed some tofu into his mouth. Du Xu asked nervously, Is it salty? The color was so dark that it looked a little salty and hard to eat. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished asking. Cheng Zhongqing suddenly stood up excitedly Chapter 22 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Everyone saw Cheng Zhongqings agitated reaction. For a moment no one knew what was wrong with him. Du Xu asked worriedly, Old Cheng, are you looking for a trash can? Du Xu, who knew Cheng Zhongqing well, guessed that either the tofu was too salty or the taste of the tofu was very strong. Otherwise, why would Old Cheng have such a big reaction after only taking a bite?! Tao Jing and Han Qianye also had solemn expressions. Tao Jing felt that the two dishes Li Xiwu cooked just now should taste very good. After all, they smelled so good. Just looking at them made her mouth water. How could they taste bad? Han Qianye also slowly frowned. When she came down and saw Li Xiwu cooking personally, her familiar and smooth movements simply stunned her. At the same time, she felt even more proud. Even if Li Xiwu was deliberately hiding it, she still managed to win her pride. But from the looks of it that didnt seem to be the case. Cooking personally had become poisonous. Judging from the experts reaction, it probably tasted awful. Min Hanrong brought a cup of warm water over and handed it to Cheng Zhongqing. Drink some water to rinse your mouth. Du Xu quickly took the water from Min Hanrong and thanked her. Then, she handed the water to Cheng Zhongqing. Move the trash can to your feet. Quickly vomit. Drink some water to rinse your mouth. As she spoke, she took a few tissues and handed them to Cheng Zhongqing. Wipe your mouth after rinsing it. However, not only did Cheng Zhongqing not spit out the tofu in his mouth, but he even swallowed it. His expression became very strange. Du Xu watched with a frown. Thats hard on you. It wasnt easy to record a show. Everyone was guessing that Cheng Zhongqing did not vomit because he was giving face to the fourth groups mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It would indeed not be good if he directly vomited. [I was drooling earlier, but now Im frowning.] [I watched Li Xiwu cook the entire time. It was clearly done very well. Did it really taste bad? Which step went wrong? I recorded it just now and was prepared to learn how to cook it.] [The appearance was too good. Is it too salty?] [Why didnt anyone discuss how Li Xiwus cooking technique looked familiar?] [I found out a long time ago. No one said anything, right? I didnt say anything.] [There must have been a deliberate imitation.] [Mother Dragon has never cooked this dish before, so its difficult to determine.] [Dont think that Mother Dragon doesnt manage her fans. In fact, her fans are very good at fighting. Last time, there was also a short video blogger who imitated Mother Dragons style. Mother Dragon doesnt even know about this yet, but that imitation blogger was reported by her fans to the extent that she cant post videos. This is a live broadcast of the Mother-in-Law Joy. Dont mention Mother Dragons instigation. Everyone, please show mercy.] [The Mother Dragons fans are very strong. Everyone, stop spamming the livestream. Sister Li will be scolded later.] [I hope Sister Li has her own cooking style. The next time she looks so much like Mother Dragon, I really wont be able to help but curse.] The comments in the live-stream were flooding in. Everyone had a tacit understanding. They did not mention that Li Xiwus cooking method was like a popular short video blogger. They were afraid that it would cause a scolding war for Mother-in-Law Joys show. If the comments turned into curses, it would affect the live broadcast. However, it was hard to say what would happen if someone recorded it and posted it online. At this moment, Cheng Zhongqing had already sat down again. He didnt spit out the tofu or drink the water. When he sat down, he realized that everyone was staring at him. He extended his chopsticks and said, Why is everyone looking at me? Eat. Then he asked, By the way, do you have a spoon? Li Xiwu said, Yes, please wait a moment. She went to the kitchen to get a spoon and handed it to Cheng Zhongqing. Cheng Zhongqing thanked her and scooped a few spoonfuls of Mapo Tofu into his bowl. It was as if he was afraid that everyone would snatch it away when they sat down later. Du Xu couldnt figure out what Cheng Zhongqing meant and asked, Is it good? Cheng Zhongqing said, Not bad. Du Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Then why were you so jumpy just now? Cheng Zhongqings expression did not change. I didnt expect that. Du Xu said, Didnt expect what? Cheng Zhongqing said, Hurry up and eat. If you keep nagging, there wont be anything left. Du Xu was speechless. Thats ridiculous! Thats impossible! The director did not say that there was a segment for praise. She put some tofu into her mouth with a skeptical attitude. Then she fell silent. The silence was complete. Seeing that one of the two experts was eating non-stop and the other was silent after taking a bite, Min Hanrong thought that they were forcing themselves to show respect to the production team and guests, so she said kindly, We still have a lot of dishes over there. Do the two of you want to go over and eat? Cheng Zhongqing shook his head as he ate. No, no. After a moment of silence, Du Xu picked up her chopsticks and continued eating the tofu. Its pretty good here. Cheng Zhongqing grinned. Right? Du Xu rose. Ill get a bowl of rice. Cheng Zhongqing immediately handed her a bowl. Get me a bowl too. Du Xu quickly went to get two bowls of rice. She had one bowl, and Cheng Zhongqing had one bowl. With the two dishes on the table, they began to eat heartily. It was clearly just two vegetarian dishes, but there was a scene of delicacies. Min Hanrong, who was rejected, felt a little awkward. She looked at the two dishes on the table and thought, Isnt it just Mapo Tofu and stir-fried vegetables? Are two experts really so eager to eat? It had to be fake! However, Min Hanrong could not resist the temptation of the two dishes on the table. They smelled really good and made her hungry. She was about to go back and get her chopsticks to try them when she turned around and saw Wan Yu and Luo Xiaosong already holding bowls and waiting eagerly. Min Hanrong was speechless. Wan Yu and Luo Xiaosong both filled their bowls and sat down around the table. Wan Yu ate the vegetables first. Her mouth was not full of fragrance, but she was very surprised. The stir-fried vegetables usually have a rustic smell. This stir-fried vegetable actually doesnt have a rustic smell. Its so delicious. Luo Xiaosong picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. As he ate, his eyes widened. This minced meat is so fragrant. Its simply superb when wrapped in tofu. Theres no minced meat at all, Cheng Zhongqing said. Luo Xiaosong was very surprised and clearly did not believe him. Impossible! This is minced meat! As he spoke, he picked up a piece of tofu. There was minced meat on the tofu, and he even specially showed it to Cheng Zhongqing. Wan Yu also picked up some food and placed it in her mouth. Her expression immediately became very excited. Its so delicious. Its really delicious. Right? Ive never had such delicious Mapo Tofu. Luo Xiaosong was also very excited. Du Xu, who was beside Cheng Zhongqing, asked, Old Cheng, is what you said true? Isnt this minced meat? No, no, Cheng Zhongqing said firmly. Actually, he figured it out with his first bite. He explained to everyone, The minced meat you think is actually replaced by broad beans. This is also Miss Lis brilliance. I dare say that others can learn such culinary skills, but they will never expect it. Chapter 23 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations A broad bean? How can it be broad beans! Thats right. I cant tell that its a broad bean. This is clearly minced meat. Moreover, theres usually minced meat in Mapo Tofu. Wan Yu continued. Uncle Cheng, dont lie to me. This is clearly the taste of minced meat. Luo Xiaosong felt that this expert must be fooling him. Cheng Zhongqing was not angry at all when the two young men questioned him. He only said, As a veteran broad bean enthusiast, I can tell that the minced meat tastes like broad beans from the first bite. Its normal that you cant tell. If you dont believe me, ask Miss Li if Im right. As Cheng Zhongqing finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Xiwu, who was standing at the side. Wan Yu asked in disbelief, Miss Li, is the minced meat in this Mapo Tofu really replaced by broad beans? Under everyones expectant gazes, Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Wan Yu was shocked. Damn! Ive learned something new. This is the first time I know that broad beans can replace minced meat. Moreover, I cant tell at all. Luo Xiaosong said, The key is that the taste is absolute. I swear, Ive never had such delicious mapo tofu before today. Wan Yu agreed. Yes, yes, yes. Me too. They both sounded sincere in their praise. The cameraman on the side was almost drooling. At this moment, Cheng Zhongqing asked, Miss Li, may I ask how you thought of replacing minced meat with broad beans? Li Xiwus gaze was very honest. To make good Mapo Tofu, the meat quality of the lean meat must be high. There was no time at noon to choose the meat before pounding the minced meat. Coincidentally, there were broad beans in the ingredients, so I decided to replace the minced meat with broad beans at the last minute. However, this method is not my precedent. I only saw it on television by chance. Cheng Zhongqing then asked, Then lets talk about the way to stir-fry vegetables. How did you deal with the earthy smell? Li Xiwu said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, Usually, you just need to wash the vegetables and put them in the pot. However, its very difficult to hide the earthy smell of the vegetables, so I blanch the vegetables. Cheng Zhongqing said, Its definitely not as simple as blanching. Li Xiwu was surprised by Cheng Zhongqings insight. Could it be that this Specialist Cheng had been on a food show before? Yes. Her tone remained matter-of-fact. Before the blanching, I added chicken oil to the water. The oil will wrap around the vegetables when theyre in the pot. That way, the stir-fried vegetables wont smell earthy. When answering Cheng Zhongqings question, Li Xiwus neither arrogant nor rash attitude and calm tone were both surprising. She was certainly modest about her own skills that run deep. Cheng Zhongqing gave Li Xiwu a thumbs up and praised, Miss Li, youre simply too outstanding. This must be the best Mapo Tofu and stir-fried vegetables Ive ever eaten. Cheng Zhongqing had a high opinion of Li Xiwu. They were all surprised. Whether it was the cameraman next to him, the staff, the brand sponsor, or Gao Yueban sitting on the monitor, they couldnt help but want to try Li Xiwus lunch dish today. Gao Yueban gaped at the monitor screen. Is it really that good? The junior assistant handed Gao Yueban a tissue. Director Gao, your saliva is flowing out. Gao Yueban took the tissue and wiped his mouth. This Miss Li is indeed hidden. She can directly become a trending topic. Min Hanrong was originally disdainful of Li Xiwus two dishes. The two vegetarian dishes were praised to the skies. It must have been the production teams arrangement. It was not that exaggerated at all. However, when Min Hanrong saw her daughter-in-law, Tao Jing, also start eating with relish, she swallowed a few times silently and walked forward. I will try it too. Seeing that everyone was eating, Li Xiwu slowly retreated to Han Qianyes side and asked, Do you want a bowl of rice? Han Qianye, who had never had the chance to speak, finally had the chance to speak when Li Xiwu took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to eat. She asked Li Xiwu, Did you learn these two dishes at the last minute before you came to record the show? Li Xiwu answered truthfully. Ive known it before. Han Qianye immediately fell silent. She walked forward and saw that Min Hanrong had already picked up a few pieces of Mapo Tofu. She asked with a kind smile, Our Xiwu made it. How does it taste? Min Hanrong could not stop eating at all. These two dishes were too appetizing. She, who only ate 60% of every meal, strictly controlled her figure. Today, she wished she could eat two bowls of rice. Hearing Han Qianyes voice, Min Hanrong immediately retracted her hand and replied, Its alright. The smile on Han Qianyes lips almost flew to the back of her head. She said in a very show-off tone, Aiyaya, although my culinary skills are not good, my daughter-in-laws culinary skills are especially good. Min Hanrong didnt have anything to refute, so she went along with Han Qianyes words. Yes, yes, yes. Its especially awesome. When Han Qianye saw that Min Hanrong was convinced, she felt too awesome! She was usually full of pride wherever she went, but she did not feel anything. The grievances she had suffered this morning had been kept in her heart. She felt uncomfortable and could not regain her dignity. But now, Li Xiwu has saved her dignity. Han Qianye was so happy that she really wanted to hug Li Xiwu and kiss her. Wait! Calm down! What are you thinking, Han Qianye! You dont like Li Xiwu. Dont change your mind about her just because she did this. Although she thought this in her heart and reminded herself, Han Qianyes gaze on Li Xiwu would subconsciously soften. Hey, hey, save some for me. I havent eaten yet. After being happy, Han Qianye noticed that the two dishes were getting fewer and fewer. Seeing that the bottom of the plate was about to be exposed, Han Qianye quickly went to get chopsticks and a bowl. When she turned around, she saw that Li Xiwu had already scooped rice for her. Han Qianye took it hypocritically. I can do it myself. Li Xiwus lips curved as she reminded her, Were running out of food. Without another word, Han Qianye immediately held the rice Li Xiwu had scooped for her and squeezed her way over to sit down. [Everyones fighting to eat it. Is it really that good?] [When are you going to produce a phone that smells? I want to smell how good it smells.] [Li Xiwus culinary skills have been recognized by everyone. Didnt they say that she doesnt know how to cook?] [She cant cook. Thats what her mother-in-law said. She never said it herself.] [Han Qianye had already given up, but her daughter-in-law turned the tables for her. Beautiful!] [No one eats Min Hanrongs dishes. Hahaha, looks like Li Xiwus culinary skills are really good!] [I look forward to seeing Li Xiwu cook again tonight. Ill take a notebook and learn from her. I remember that the last person I wanted to learn cooking from was Mother Dragon.] The highlights at noon today were all gathered in Li Xiwus group. The netizens were right. The popularity of the fourth group was all thanks to Li Xiwu. With just two dishes, she grabbed everyones appetite and won a round. The two dishes were almost finished. The greedy Gao Yueban could not resist the temptation on the screen. He rushed out with the bowl and shouted, Please, leave some for me! Chapter 24 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In todays live broadcast at noon, Li Xiwus groups popularity had been at the bottom. Later on, because of the two dishes, the popularity of the live-stream soared. Not only did the number of viewers exceed the first day, but it also became a trending topic. Just as some netizens had guessed, someone posted the video of Li Xiwu cooking on the Internet and brought up the trending topic of the Internet celebrity, Mother Dragon. Therefore, not long after, a trending topic named #MotherDragonSecondGen# climbed to the fifth place on Weibos trending list. It was around one in the afternoon break that Qiao Qiao called Li Xiwu. The first thing she said was, Bae, youre trending! Although it was lunch break, Li Xiwu did not sleep. She was watching the premiere of the award ceremony held on Wind Platform a few days ago. When she received Qiao Qiaos call, she pressed the pause button on her screen and said, My phone kept ringing with notifications just now. They were all from Weibo, but I havent watched them yet. Qiao Qiao listened to Li Xiwus calm tone and asked, Did you guess this would go viral? Li Xiwus voice was lazy. Yes. Smack! Through the phone, Li Xiwu could hear Qiao Qiao slapping her thigh, followed by Qiao Qiaos rough and heroic voice. I knew it. Every step you take is unexpected. Li Xiwu laughed out loud. When I get that four hundred million, the first thing Ill do is take you to the cupping. Qiao Qiao said, Huh? Li Xiwu said, Its not effective when you slap yourself, and your hand hurts. The cupping effect comes quickly. Qiao Qiao said, Bah, bah, bah. Its not good to do cupping at such a young age. Its easy to get kidney failure. Who said that? Li Xiwu asked. Young Master He, Qiao Qiao said. Li Xiwu narrowed her eyes as she remembered who Qiao Qiao was referring to. He Wang, the wronged. In the past, cloth was used to bind small feet. That was the imprisonment of feudal ideas. Now, cloth is used to bind cerebellum. Its understandable. Although it was not good to speak ill of others behind their backs, the other party was He Wang. On the other end of the line, Qiao Qiao laughed like a monkey. This is f*cking awesome! Li Xiwu listened to Qiao Qiao laugh before saying, Theres not much time in the afternoon. Ill hang up now while its easier to settle things. Wait! Qiao Qiao quickly shouted. Its not my real reason to remind you that youre trending. I almost forgot about it as we chatted. Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. Whats the real reason? Qiao Qiao asked, Are you free tomorrow night? Tomorrow night The program was recorded every three days. After the recording tomorrow, they will rest for two days. The editing team would also edit the content of the program as soon as possible and broadcast it on the Wind Platform. There was plenty of time, so she promised Pei Jingzhou that she would return to Lake Lu tomorrow night. Tell me what its about first. Li Xiwu decided to make the arrangements for tomorrow night based on the importance of what Qiao Qiao had told her. Qiao Qiao went straight to the point. A month ago, I applied for a job on the blind date show Palpitation Light. It was 380 a day. I stood on the stage for two episodes. I am a shill after all, I couldnt stand on the stage for too long. Later, I left holding hands with a male guest arranged by the show. Now, the show wants me to change my style and continue being a female guest. I agreed. Ill start recording tomorrow night. No one knew better than Li Xiwu. These three sentences didnt have much to say, but Li Xiwu could tell that Qiao Qiao knew what she was going to say next. She asked, Cant make it tomorrow night for something? There was a smack. Qiao Qiao slapped her thigh. The smack through the phone was especially crisp. It made Li Xiwus heartache. Qiao Qiao said, I really cant go. I have more important things to do tomorrow night, but I have already promised the show, if I stood them up, they might not look for me anymore. Im thinking of finding someone to go in my place. Ill give her 300 yuan for this 380 yuan, but I feel that its better to put 300 yuan in your pocket instead of someone elses. That way, Ill feel better. Li Xiwu smiled and said, Feel better? Youre trying to use the fact that youre close to me. Itll only be the 80 yuan which enters my pocket. Qiao Qiao chuckled. What about fifty-fifty? Li Xiwu said, Not a penny. Ill go. On the other end of the line, Qiao Qiao was dancing with joy. Ill send you the positioning and some precautions. Remember, youre a shill. You cant go with the male guests. Li Xiwu said, If the male guest is good enough, its not impossible. No! Qiao Qiao swallowed. If youre taken away by a male guest, that Pei guy will beat me to death. Li Xiwu didnt respond. Qiao Qiao also realized that she shouldnt have suddenly mentioned Pei Jingzhou. She kissed Li Xiwu a few times through the phone before hanging up. Li Xiwu placed her phone on the table and looked at the black screen of the iPad on the stand. She couldnt help but wonder if she could accept another man after her divorce from Pei Jingzhou. It seemed a difficult question to answer for herself. Knock knock knock C A knock at the door snapped Li Xiwu out of her thoughts. Before she could get up, she heard Han Qianyes voice from outside the door. Li Xiwu, its me. Li Xiwu went to open the door. Han Qianye stood outside the door. She held her phone in one hand and a fruit plate in the other. Seeing Li Xiwu open the door, she casually handed the fruit plate to Li Xiwu. I cut too much just now. I cant finish it. The rest is for you. Li Xiwu looked at the fruit platter in front of her. It was neatly arranged and clearly untouched. She took the fruit platter. Thank you. She thought that Han Qianye would leave after bringing the fruit platter to her, but she did not leave. She carried the fruit platter and looked like she was waiting for something. If Li Xiwu didnt have any EQ, she would definitely ask, Arent you leaving? Li Xiwu invited her, Would you like to come in? Han Qianye raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Xiwu. She said proudly, You were the one who invited me in, its not me who wanted to go in. Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. I invited you in. Then Ill reluctantly go in and sit down. With that, Han Qianye walked in with her head held high. Li Xiwu closed the door and walked over to place the fruit platter beside the iPad. Han Qianye sat where Li Xiwu had just sat and casually asked, Why didnt you take a nap? Li Xiwu moved the chair next to her and sat down. Ill sleep well at night. I dont feel much sleepiness at noon. Han Qianye took a closer look at Li Xiwus face. She had a standard oval face, and her almond-shaped eyes were exceptionally beautiful without the need for eye makeup. The lipstick on her lips had faded a lot, but her overall makeup was still there, and her makeup was clean. Han Qianye wanted to say something nice, but her words changed. After marrying into the Pei family, you dont have to worry about food and clothes. How bad can your sleep be? Its not easy to become rich. These words should be reminding Li Xiwu that she was ultimately just a phoenix that flew up the branch. Li Xiwu met Han Qianyes gaze calmly. Dont worry. After the show ends, you will definitely see what you want to see. Chapter 25 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations What did Han Qianye want to see? Of course, Han Qianye wanted to see the day Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu divorced. As long as she chased away Li Xiwu, the fake phoenix, Han Qianye could happily find an even better woman for his son. Now, Li Xiwu was so transparent and self-aware. She thought that Han Qianye would definitely smile in satisfaction and reply, At least youre sensible. However, it was not quite what she had expected. Han Qianye opened her phone. Its still early to finish recording the variety show. Lets not talk about this now. Let me ask you, did you know that we were on the trending searches on Weibo today? Li Xiwu: What actually happened was different from what she had imagined. Even Li Xiwu, who had always been calm and composed, reacted slowly for a few seconds before replying, I know. Theres a relevant notification. Han Qianye suddenly smiled proudly. I can finally hold my head high today. With that, Han Qianye quickly opened the phone page and handed it to Li Xiwu. The Internet is praising your culinary skills. Everyone says that your culinary skills are very outstanding. Li Xiwu looked up at Han Qianyes phone screen. That was a comment under the hashtag #MotherDragonSecondGen: [Its not a precedent for Li Xiwu to use broad beans instead of minced meat, but since she can make this dish and make it well, its enough to prove that shes really good at cooking.] [I thought Xie Wens cooking was already impressive until I went to Li Xiwus livestream.] [When I watched the live broadcast, not only was I craving for it, but I also almost died laughing. The director even smelled it and came out to ask everyone to save him a bite.] [Bring along the entry #MotherDragonSecondGen, Im really going crazy! Li Xiwu only imitated Mother Dragons cooking methods. She has nothing to do with Mother Dragon. How is she a second-generation?] [I really dont like Mother Dragon being scammed. Mother Dragon is just herself. There are no second generation, OK?] [Li Xiwu, dont imitate Mother Dragon.] [Li Xiwus culinary skills are completely incomparable to Mother Dragons!] When Han Qianye flipped through the comments, she automatically ignored those that scolded Li Xiwu. She picked most of the good comments for Li Xiwu to see. Her expression gradually became uncomfortable. She asked Li Xiwu, Did you really imitate the cooking method of that internet celebrity? Li Xiwu paused for a moment before saying indifferently, The cooking method itself has never been unified, so how can it be imitated? You dont think so, but the netizens insist on thinking so. As Han Qianye said this, she did not forget to remind Li Xiwu, Dont look at these unpleasant things. Online critics rely on a keyboard. Morality cant restrain those keyboard warriors. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. In this industry, the most common thing I say to the artists I have is dont read online comments. If it happened to me, I naturally wouldnt care. Your mentality is very good. Han Qianye grinned. Li Xiwu looked at Han Qianye suspiciously. The corners of Han Qianyes mouth curled up. She regained the demeanor of a noble lady and said expressionlessly, Yes, your mentality is not bad. Li Xiwu nodded. Thank you for the compliment. Han Qianye raised her hand and yawned. Its getting late. Ill go take a nap. Okay. Li Xiwu rose and moved her chair. Before Han Qianye left, she pointed at the fruit platter beside the iPad. Remember to eat it. Its a pity to waste it. Actually its all very sweet. Li Xiwu agreed with a smile. Ill finish it. Han Qianye suppressed her smile and left Li Xiwus room with the demeanor of a noble lady. Back next door, she called Lin Yourong. The other party picked up and asked her, Li Xiwu helped you vent your anger today. Are you feeling better? Han Qianye couldnt stop smiling. Of course Im in a good mood. Lin Yourong could hear the unconcealable joy in Han Qianyes tone and reminded her, You cant hold it just like that? Dont forget your business just because of this little benefit. Remember your original intention. What was Han Qianyes original intention? Han Qianyes original intention was to find ways to embarrass Li Xiwu on the variety show, to make the netizens feel that Li Xiwu was crazy and was not worthy of marrying into a rich family, to make Li Xiwu be blacklisted and scolded. This way, even if Li Xiwu divorced Pei Jingzhou, she would not have the chance to marry into another wealthy family. A phoenix would turn back into a sparrow, and she would never be a phoenix again. She would forever be a sparrow. Thinking of this, Han Qianyes smile suddenly froze. Isnt that too vicious? Lin Yourong snorted. If you want to chase your daughter-in-law out, this is nothing. Han Qianye nodded. Okay, okay, got it. Lin Yourong was relieved. Its good that you know. After hanging up, Han Qianye threw her phone on the bed and fell asleep. She forgot about Lin Yourongs reminder after sleeping. C The afternoon was still long. Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu were going out for an inspection, while Wan Yu and Luo Xiaosong were going to do research nearby. Everyone was going the same way. Yesterdays appearance of lynx cubs had attracted some attention and discussion. This afternoons live broadcast would also be about secondary protected animals. At first, everyone followed Wan Yu and Luo Xiaosong. But after walking for a long time, they did not encounter a single protected animal. Min Hanrong said, It was an accident and luck that we saw the lynx cub yesterday. Im afraid its very difficult to see it today. Tao Jing raised her hand to wipe her sweat. Then we probably wont see any today. Cheng Zhongqing, who was walking at the side, asked, How big was the lynx cub you saw yesterday? Tao Jing gestured. About this big. Cheng Zhongqing asked again, Where was it found? Min Hanrong answered, Not far from the inn. Cheng Zhongqing had an idea. There have been many people in the inn recently. The lynx cub probably came here out of curiosity. It should have been moved by its parents by now. Its very difficult to meet the lynx here. Wan Yu sighed. Lets walk some more. We might see them later. Han Qianye and Li Xiwu walked a little behind. The two of them did not speak much and seemed quiet. Taking advantage of the fact that everyones attention was on the topic of tadpoles, Han Qianye took out a small mirror from her pocket and touched her face. The sunscreen I applied today was thin. I hope it can last longer. Li Xiwu looked up at the sky. The UV isnt strong today. No big problem. Han Qianye put away the small mirror. I It was unknown what she saw, but she suddenly stared into the distance. Li Xiwu noticed and asked, Whats wrong? At this moment, no one noticed Han Qianyes surprise. Han Qianye did not look around to call for help. Instead, she pointed in the direction she was looking at and asked Li Xiwu, Whats that? Chapter 26 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At this moment, no one noticed what Han Qianye had seen. And no one cared what she said. This was because everyones attention was on Cheng Zhongqing. Only Li Xiwu looked in the direction Han Qianye was pointing. When she saw the thing Han Qianye was pointing at, her gaze froze for a few seconds, as if she was carefully identifying what it was. Before she could distinguish clearly, Han Qianyes light voice came from beside her. I know. This is chicken, but this chicken looks so fat. It will definitely be very juicy when stewed. Li Xiwu: ? Is that a chicken? Han Qianye had yet to notice Li Xiwus expression. She pointed at the chicken not far away and said to Li Xiwu, Do you think such a fat chicken will taste good? Should I roast it or stew it? Li Xiwu pressed her lips together. That is chicken, but not edible. Han Qianye immediately reacted. Oh, got it. Li Xiwu was quite surprised that Han Qianye did not refute her this time. She turned back to Han Qianye. The latter looked away guiltily. People cant fall in the same place twice, can they? Li Xiwus suppressed lips curved a little. Then, Ill let you do your best next. Han Qianyes eyes widened. Huh? Grinning, Li Xiwu covered her mic. A moment later Han Qianye cleared her throat and coughed. Ahem! This cough immediately attracted everyones attention. Everyone looked at Han Qianye. Min Hanrong asked with a gentle smile, Qianye, did you discover something? Han Qianyes eyes lit up. She looked at Min Hanrong, who was asking her a question, and said smugly, Yo, you guessed correctly. Min Hanrong smiled gently because millions of netizens in the live-stream were watching. But in fact, she didnt believe it at all. Han Qianye knew nothing. Even if wild protected animals walked past her, she wouldnt recognize them. What could she find? It was probably another joke. She was waiting for Han Qianye to embarrass himself in a competition between peers. Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu, who were walking in front, looked at Han Qianye. Du Xu asked, Miss Lis mother-in-law, what did you find? Wan Yu walked over. Aunt Han, is there something new? Luo Xiaosong also walked over. I didnt see any wild protected animals along the way here. Did Auntie Han see any rare plants? In Fu Town, other than wild protected animals, there were also many second-level protected plants in the country. However, they were not easily discovered. Most of them were in relatively remote and dark places in the forest. This was because the rarer the plant, the more afraid it was of sunlight. The environment it grew in was extremely harsh. They didnt find any wild protected animals along the way. Luo Xiaosong thought that the discovery of the fourth group of mother-in-law was probably due to the discovery of a level-two protected plant. At this moment, everyone was more or less looking forward to Han Qianyes discovery. Then, under everyones expectant gazes, Han Qianye pointed at the two chickens who were looking for worms to eat on the ground not far away and said with great certainty, Thats a new discovery. The moment that was said, everyone looked in the direction Han Qianye was pointing. Not far away, outside a fence railing, two chickens were looking for worms to eat on the ground. Moreover, the two chickens were fat and looked like they had been raised well by their owners! Min Hanrong almost couldnt help but laugh out loud. She tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips. The mountains and rivers in Fu Town raise people and chickens. Look, the chickens here are all fatter than the others. Wan Yu squatted down and called out like a chicken, Coo, coo, coo Luo Xiaosong clicked his tongue. Is this from pure feeding? What a fat hen. Du Xu didnt look right. Its definitely chicken, but Ill go over and take a look. With that, Cheng Zhongqing walked over. The two chickens were not afraid of anyone at all. They were not afraid when they saw someone coming over. They continued to lower their heads and look for food. Min Hanrong walked to Han Qianyes side. Qianye, you have good taste. You discovered these two fat chickens immediately. Seeing that no one recognized it, Han Qianyes heart began to waver. Could Li Xiwu have tricked her into making a fool of herself? Were those two fat chickens really national level two protected wildlife? Not to mention everyones reaction, she didnt think so at the time. Its just two big hens, isnt it? However, Han Qianye still believed Li Xiwus words and ignored the fact that it was very likely that Li Xiwu was lying to her. At this moment, Wan Yu asked, Auntie Han, do you feel that these two chickens are wild protected animals? Han Qianyes thoughts were already wavering. She hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Wan Yu came over and said to Han Qianye, Auntie Han, most chickens are poultry. If chickens are protected animals, they must be golden pheasants. However, golden pheasants are very easy to recognize. They have white bellies and red bellies. Their feathers are purple-red. The feathers on their tails are especially long, and they are still black and white. At this point, Wan Yu casually added, And the golden pheasant looks a little like the phoenix on television. Its very beautiful. At the side, Luo Xiaosong chimed in, As far as I know, there are no golden pheasant in Fu Town so far. The two of them spoke clearly to Han Qianye. Min Hanrong almost laughed out loud at the side. She tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips. I happened to see a picture of a golden pheasant in a report. It looked especially like a phoenix in a painting. It was indeed very beautiful. When Wan Yu heard Min Hanrongs reply, she smiled. I think so too. Han Qianye began to feel frustrated. She looked at Li Xiwu beside her and asked with her eyes, Didnt you say that those two fat chickens are wild protected animals? Li Xiwu gave Han Qianye a look, indicating for her to calm down. However, at this moment, Han Qianye no longer believed Li Xiwus words. She had made a fool of herself just now. She did not even want to appear in front of the camera. She only felt that standing here was a joke. Just as she was fuming, Cheng Zhongqings pleasantly surprised voice sounded from the other end Siberian grouse! My God! Thats a Siberian grouse! We almost missed it! Cheng Zhongqings voice was just loud enough for everyone present to hear. Wan Yu was stunned. A Siberian grouse? Luo Xiaosong clapped his hands and suddenly remembered. Look at my memory. How could I forget that there were two Siberian grouses among the protected animals that roamed Fu Town? Du Xu raised her voice and asked with uncertainty, Old Cheng, is it really a Siberian grouse? Why would I lie to you? This is a genuine Siberian grouse, a level-two wild protected animal of the country. There are only two of them in the entire Fu Town. Cheng Zhongqing looked ashamed as he said this. We actually didnt notice it when we passed by. Fortunately, Miss Lis mother-in-law was here. Otherwise, we would have missed it. As soon as Cheng Zhongqing said this, everyone looked at Han Qianye in surprise. Chapter 27 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Everyones eyes were too eager. Han Qianye was stunned! At this moment, several question marks popped into her mind: Whats wrong? What happened? Why are they all looking at me? Cheng Zhongqing came forward and extended his hand to Han Qianye excitedly. Miss Lis mother-in-law, its all thanks to your sharp eyes this time. Otherwise, we would have missed these two Siberian grouses. Han Qianye reached out her hand in confusion. Its its fine. Cheng Zhongqing held it with both hands and leaned forward slightly. It was obvious that he was really excited and happy. Wan Yu and Luo Xiaosong, who were at the side, both revealed embarrassed smiles. Especially when they thought about how the two of them had actually taught Miss Lis mother-in-law about golden pheasants. However, the ones who should be taught were the two of them. They didnt even know about Siberian grouses. What a toad on a train, pretending to be an old customer with a big belly. The two of them were so embarrassed that their toes were about to dig through the soles of their shoes. However, Min Hanrong did not know much about that whatsoever grouse. She asked, Are these two fat chickens really protected animals? Hanrong, those two Siberian grouses are the second-level national priority in protecting wild animals! Cheng Zhongqing said in a serious tone, Because its appearance is very similar to a domestic hen, its not easy to recognize it at a glance. I didnt notice it just now, they didnt recognize it when they saw it too. Fortunately, Miss Lis mother-in-law recognized it at a glance. Otherwise, we would have really missed these two Siberian grouses today. Min Hanrong was a household name in the early years. Cheng Zhongqing had seen Min Hanrongs movie before, so he called her by her name. When Min Hanrong heard Cheng Zhongqings words, she suddenly realized that she was too ignorant. She laughed dryly and said, No wonder. This Siberian grouse does look like a fat hen. After saying that, she turned to look at Han Qianye. Qianye, your eyes are still sharp. You recognized those two Siberian grouses at a glance. Han Qianye had already regained her composure. She thought Li Xiwu had lied to her and caused her to make a fool of herself again. Who knew that there would be a huge reversal! She looked at Min Hanrong again. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to laugh. As long as Min Hanrong suffered, she would be happy. Its alright. Its just that I happened to see a picture of a Siberian grouse in the past. I recognized it. Han Qianye could not hide the smugness in her tone. The smile on Min Hanrongs face was about to collapse. [I suspect theres a script! Han Qianye doesnt even know a lynx, but now shes the only one among everyone who recognizes the Siberian grouse.] [Ridiculous! I wouldnt believe that it wasnt scripted.] [But why do I feel that Han Qianye won this round without doing anything?] [Did anyone notice what Li Xiwu said in the live broadcast just now Thats a chicken, but it cant be eaten?] [But theres no sound later on. How strange] [No matter what, it was indeed Han Qianye who discovered the two Siberian grouses first. Whats there to fight about!] [Han Qianye is a little scheming, but she can always be seen through. For example, when she was doing nothing, when she discovered the Siberian grouses, she had the characteristic of a comedian.] [Im on Han Qianyes side in this wave. She was the one who discovered the two Siberian grouses first and wont accept any rebuttal.] [Ive learned something new. The Siberian grouse is actually a second-level national priority wildlife protection.] Today, the fourth groups live-stream was especially popular. The popularity of Group Fours live-stream had been very stable since the morning. Everyone, come and take a look! Cheng Zhongqing summoned everyone to listen to his explanation of the SIberian grouse. Du Xu waved at Han Qianye. Qianye, lets go take a look. Because they were familiar with each other, Du Xu changed the way she addressed Han Qianye from Miss Lis mother-in-law to Qianye. Han Qianye took half a step forward happily. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned back to Li Xiwu. Lets go over and take a closer look at those two Siberian grouses. Li Xiwu nodded. Okay. As soon as she replied, Han Qianye held her wrist naturally. Follow me. Li Xiwu paused, clearly stunned. Han Qianye turned to look at her and asked, Whats wrong? Li Xiwu shook her head. Nothing. Han Qianye looked down at the hand holding Li Xiwus wrist and whispered, You dont like being held? No. Li Xiwu sounded mildly surprised. Recalling her previous for her own good behavior, Li Xiwu did not think much of it and let Han Qianye hold her wrist as they walked over. It was obvious that Han Qianye was in a good mood. It was entirely on her face that she was in a good mood. She was like a child. Cheng Zhongqing pointed at the two Siberian grouses that were looking for food and were not afraid of strangers. The range of altitude where Siberian grouse rest is generally around 700 to 1,600 meters. No migration behavior has been found so far. And the two Siberian grouses in Fu Town are said to have been bought and raised as hens on the street when a townsman went to visit relatives in the northeast in the early years. While he was raising the Siberian grouse, he accidentally found on TV that it was to be listed as a priority wildlife protection. It was very similar to the hens he raised, so he took the initiative to report it. Because the townspeople took the initiative to report their contributions, and because the two Siberian grouses were not killed and were raised well, they made up for their contributions and let the townspeople continue to raise these two Siberian grouses in Fu Town. However, because both are female Siberian grouses, they are currently unable to reproduce. I heard from the higher-ups that the breeding of Siberian grouses will begin this year. I look forward to seeing countless Siberian grouses in Fu Town next year. Cheng Zhongqing was very excited when he explained to everyone and calls for everyone to protect the countrys rare animals. The number of viewers and popularity of the live stream also rapidly soared to its peak during this period of time. The comments screen went wild [Isnt this more interesting than watching Parental Shortness?] [Everyone is responsible for the protection of rare wild animals.] [Old Mr. Cheng shouldnt be a plant expert, but an animal expert.] [Ive broadened my horizons. However, looking at these two Siberian grouses up close, no matter how I look at them, they look like fat old hens. In Old Chengs words, its all thanks to Han Qianye. Otherwise, everyone would have missed them.] [Group Fours mother-in-law and daughter-in-law won so much today.] [Li Xiwu in the morning and Han Qianye in the afternoon. This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very stable today.] [I wonder if Ill see Li Xiwu cooking again tonight?] [I heard that todays live broadcast ends at five oclock. Damn, doesnt that mean that we can only squat on the Wind Platform for the premiere?] [This variety show is too good at causing trouble. They know what we want to watch, but they just have to keep us hanging. The viewership ratings for the live broadcast and premiere are the same.] Todays live broadcast ended at 5:30 pm. Gao Yueban had also received a notice from the higher-ups at the last minute. The program wanted a gimmick. Now, Li Xiwus culinary skills were the biggest gimmick. If he could whet the appetite and broadcast it during the premiere, the ratings would be stable! Not only Director Gao, but the organizers also did not expect that the least popular mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Group Four would actually become the trump card of this show. Chapter 28 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Han Qianye had a lot of fun this afternoon. The smile was always on her face. On the way back to the inn, Han Qianye walked beside Li Xiwu with her hands in her pockets. She wanted to find a topic to chat with Li Xiwu a few times, but she felt that finding a topic seemed too deliberate. After thinking for a long time, she didnt know which sentence was suitable first. Listening to Tao Jing and Min Hanrong chatting happily, Han Qianye casually glanced at Min Hanrong. This glance made her eyes widen. Immediately after, Han Qianye turned around and hugged Li Xiwu, screaming, Ah Li Xiwu was stunned. Not only Li Xiwu, but everyone present was shocked by Han Qianyes scream. Whats wrong? What happened? Han Qianye looked like she had seen what she was afraid of. She did not know what could have frightened Han Qianye so much. Qianye, whats wrong? Min Hanrong asked. Seeing that the fourth group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in the limelight today and had even stolen her limelight, Min Hanrong was still holding back her anger. At this moment, seeing Han Qianyes shocked expression, she couldnt help but want to ridicule her in a teasing tone. Did you do something guilty and suddenly get so frightened? Han Qianye was furious. You! Wan Yu, Luo Xiaosong, and Du Xu walked over. Du Xu asked, Whats wrong, Qianye? Li Xiwu also asked in a low voice, Did you see something? Han Qianye let go of Li Xiwu and pointed at Min Hanrong, who was watching her. She has a worm on her. The moment that was said, Min Hanrongs expression changed on the spot, but she was not afraid. Instead, she was a little angry. Qianye, dont make such a joke. Its not funny at all. Her voice trailed off. Min Hanrong heard her daughter-in-laws stuttering voice remind her, Mom, theres really a worm on your back. In an instant, Min Hanrongs body stiffened and her lips and teeth trembled. No-no-no way? Jingjing Tao Jing, who was called, looked even more terrified than her mother-in-law, Min Hanrong. Mom, I-I-I-Im here. Min Hanrong was so scared that her face turned pale. Where are the bugs? Quick, help me get rid of them. Tao Jing didnt dare. I-Im afraid too. The caterpillar on Min Hanrongs body was very small. It must have gotten on her body when she stood by a soap horn tree for a long time. Wan Yu wanted to come over and help. However, when she saw the squirming caterpillar on Min Hanrongs body, she had goosebumps all over her body. She did not dare to, so she could only call Luo Xiaosong. Luo Xiaosong, come here! Coming, coming. Luo Xiaosong ran back. Min Hanrong was so frightened that her face turned pale. Because Tao Jing was afraid, not only did she not dare to help Min Hanrong get rid of the caterpillar on her body, she did not even dare to look at it. It could not be helped. Most girls were naturally afraid of these squirming worms. Tao Jing was also one of many girls. Han Qianye, who was the closest to Min Hanrong, was even more afraid of this caterpillar. Although Min Hanrong was already scared out of her wits, she could still barely maintain her composure at this moment. If this worm was on her, she would have jumped out of her skin. At that moment, Li Xiwu stepped forward. She was a step faster than Luo Xiaosong, who had returned. She reached out and flicked the caterpillar on Min Hanrong away. After noticing the direction in which the insect had flown and confirming that it had landed outside the road, Li Xiwu said, Done. Min Hanrong asked in a trembling voice, Are the bugs gone? Li Xiwu calmed Min Hanrong down. Yes. Its a tree bug. It doesnt bite. Min Hanrong let out a long sigh. Although it doesnt bite, its more terrifying than biting. Li Xiwu raised her hand and gently patted Min Hanrongs back. Its fine. Li Xiwu was usually silent. She looked like a cold beauty who was not easy to get along with, but once she comforted someone, her words and eyes were gentle, making people involuntarily trust her. Luo Xiaosong, who had run back, saw that Li Xiwu had attacked, and Min Hanrong had calmed down a lot. She asked, Are the bugs gone? Li Xiwu nodded. Its already gone. Luo Xiaosong gave Li Xiwu a thumbs up. Miss Li, youre amazing! Han Qianye, who had seen Li Xiwu flick the insect away with her own eyes, squeezed over with a smug smile and said, My daughter-in-law is super powerful! Li Xiwu turned to look at Han Qianye. When their eyes met, Han Qianye suddenly remembered that she had been frightened by the worm on Min Hanrongs body and hugged Li Xiwu. The image appeared too clearly, and the smile on Han Qianyes face became unnatural. Actually Im not that afraid. Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. Han Qianyes lips curled up crazily. Li Xiwu actually didnt expose her! At this moment, Wan Yu walked over. Miss Li, I rarely see girls who arent afraid of bugs. Id be scared, too, but that worm just now was just a tree worm. It wouldnt do anyone any harm, so theres nothing to be afraid of, Li Xiwu explained. Wan Yu said with a sigh, To me, a tree worm is also very scary. Youre still the bold one. Li Xiwu naturally understood the girls fear of this squirming worm. If she continued to speak, she would seem arrogant. She smiled slightly and did not continue. [Whats so scary about bugs? When I was a kid in the countryside, I could see caterpillars on the tile house every morning when I opened my eyes.] [Its boys who said whats there to be afraid of about insects, right? Girls are naturally resistant to small insects with cartilage squirming, okay?] [Li Xiwu is still the bold one! Among her peers, Tao Jing and Wan Yu were scared to death. Only Li Xiwu flicked her finger without changing her expression.] [Youre all paying attention to how bold Li Xiwu is. Am I the only one paying attention to Han Qianyes arrogant face?] [Han Qianye really expressed her honor to the fullest.] [I like Li Xiwu so much. She can cook and isnt pretentious. Im a fan.] [Li Xiwu is a capable person. If there are bugs, she will directly flick them away.] [One question: Does Li Xiwu have a Weibo account? I want to follow her.] The bug episode passed quickly. They finally returned to the inn. When everyone went in, Cheng Zhongqing deliberately stopped outside the inn for a while. Li Xiwu walked behind and when he passed Cheng Zhongqing, he was stopped by him. Miss Li. Li Xiwu looked sideways at Cheng Zhongqing. Uncle Cheng. Cheng Zhongqing turned off the microphone. Li Xiwu realized that Cheng Zhongqing probably had something to tell her and also turned off the microphone. Seeing this, the cameraman consciously moved the camera away and walked inside. There was no one around. Li Xiwu looked up at Cheng Zhongqing. Uncle Cheng, go ahead. Cheng Zhongqing let out a clear laugh. Miss Li, theres no one else here. Tell me the truth. You were the one who recognized the Siberian grouse, right? Chapter 29 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When she was stopped by Cheng Zhongqing, Li Xiwu had already guessed what he might ask. It was just as she suspected. However, she did not choose to be honest. Instead, she pretended to be confused. The person who discovered the Siberian grouse was my mother-in-law, Han Qianye. The person who recognized the Siberian grouse breed was also my mother-in-law, Han Qianye. It has nothing to do with me. Speaking of which, Im ashamed. I didnt do my homework before coming. Ill definitely study the knowledge of wild protected animals tonight. Cheng Zhongqing said, Miss Li, youre too humble. Li Xiwu met Cheng Zhongqings gaze calmly. It has nothing to do with modesty. It was my mother-in-law who discovered and recognized the Siberian grouse. Its her credit. At this point in the conversation, Cheng Zhongqing already understood. After that, no matter how much he asked, Miss Li would not admit that she had actually recognized the two Siberian grouses. But he could probably understand why Li Xiwu hadnt admitted that shed recognized the two Siberian grouses first. A daughter-in-law who married into a wealthy family had to flatter her mother-in-law. She could not let her mother-in-law lose face. May I ask, Cheng Zhongqing said, what does Miss Lis family do? These words immediately stumped Li Xiwu. What does her family do? Actually, she didnt know. Because shes an orphan. She finished her studies by working and studying, but her life was still a mess. Then something happened. She met Pei Jingzhou at the darkest time of her life. He pulled her out of the mud and gave her a glamorous identity and life. Cheng Zhongqing saw Li Xiwus hesitation and probed, Did Miss Li come into contact with zoology when you were in university? Li Xiwu said, No. Then is there anyone in Miss Lis family who works for the Wildlife Conservation Association? No, Li Xiwu replied. Cheng Zhongqing said curiously, Yesterday, Miss Li recognized the lynx cub at a glance. Today, if I didnt know that Miss Li is in the entertainment industry as a manager, I would have thought that someone in your family works in the Wildlife Conservation Association. Thats why you know such rare wild animals. Li Xiwu did not reply. She only looked up at Cheng Zhongqing and saw the sincere smile in his eyes. She also understood that the other party did not have any ill intentions and was just asking curiously. Now, Cheng Zhongqing consciously did not continue asking. Ill go in first. I heard that theres no need to cook for the guests tonight. You can rest well. Li Xiwu nodded. Okay. Cheng Zhongqing turned around and was about to go up the steps when he bumped into Han Qianye. He did not know if Miss Lis mother-in-law had heard his conversation with Miss Li, but it did not matter. Anyway, Cheng Zhongqing knew very well that Miss Li must have recognized the two Siberian grouses. Cheng Zhongqing went up the steps and walked in. Han Qianye came down the stairs and walked towards Li Xiwu. When no one was around, she asked directly, Why didnt you admit it just now? Li Xiwu only heard someone coming down, but she didnt know who it was, nor did she raise her eyes to look. Only when she heard Han Qianyes question did she look up at her. Admit what? Han Qianye stared at Li Xiwus face, trying to see some traces of disguise on her face, but she could not see anything. When she went in earlier and did not see Li Xiwu enter, she came out to look for her. As soon as she came out, she saw Li Xiwu being stopped by Cheng Zhongqing and asked a few questions. She did not say anything and listened quietly. She did not intend to stop Li Xiwu from telling the truth. After all, the person who recognized the two Siberian grouses was indeed not her. She had heard Li Xiwu and Cheng Zhongqings conversation. No matter how Cheng Zhongqing tried to get information out of her, Li Xiwu did not fall for a single word and avoided every word. Han Qianye could not understand Li Xiwus thoughts. Shouldnt Li Xiwu take the opportunity to take back the credit when Cheng Zhongqing asked? But why wouldnt she admit it? Han Qianye pursed her lips and thought for two seconds. Why dont I tell everyone later at dinner that you were the one who recognized the two Siberian grouses? I cant take your credit for nothing. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said in a very calm voice, Were all in this together. Were a team. Theres no difference. Thats what she said, but Han Qianye felt upset when she heard that. She clearly wanted to say, Arent you being too aggrieved? but her mouth was not working at all. The moment she opened her mouth, she said, Youre so uncompetitive. I keep feeling that youll bite me when Im unprepared. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Im not crazy. Dont worry, I wont bite. I didnt mean that Han Qianye wanted to explain. Li Xiwu said, You dont have to say anymore. I understand what you mean. Did she really? Han Qianye did not know if she really understood. Anyway, she felt quite subtle. Especially when she remembered that not long before she returned, she was frightened by the caterpillar on Min Hanrongs body. Without thinking, she hugged Li Xiwu. Why had she gone to hug Li Xiwu? And she realized that Li Xiwu smelled so good. C The director had informed them that the live broadcast would end at 5:30 pm, so the production team would prepare dinner tonight. There was no need for the guests to prepare anything. Wan Yu, Luo Xiaosong, and Du Xu, who were eager to taste Li Xiwus cooking again, looked disappointed. The live broadcast ended at five-thirty. Everyone took a break and sat down to eat together. During the meal, Cheng Zhongqing chatted about what he had seen and heard on a daily basis. Everyone listened attentively and enjoyed dinner. They stayed for a while before returning to their own rooms. Li Xiwu lay down on the bed tiredly. Within two minutes, the phone on the pillow vibrated frequently. She accepted her fate and took the phone to open it. There were more than forty unread WeChat messages. Li Xiwu: She was really tired. However, thinking that it was all for the 400 million yuan, it was worth it. Thats four hundred million. Even if she didnt eat or drink, she wouldnt be able to earn 400 million yuan even if she worked hard for ten years. Even if she became an artist, she would only be able to earn a quarter of it in the first few years. She still had to rely on herself to become an A-list celebrity. She opened WeChat. President Qi: [Come to the company tomorrow at noon.] President Qi: [Ive sent you Xue Jinzhus information.] Xue Jinzhu was the female artiste that President Qi had signed with Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu had yet to see her or read Xue Jinzhus personal information. Tonight, President Qi had sent her Xue Jinzhus personal information and even asked her to make time to go to the company at noon tomorrow. It meant that Xue Jinzhu had a background. No wonder President Qi signed it for her without even letting her meet her first. She replied okay. Then, she clicked on Xue Jinzhus profile. Her name, age, graduation school, and whether she had any filming experience during her early school days were all written very clearly. However, when Li Xiwus gaze stopped on the one-inch photo above the information, her pupils suddenly constricted She murmured, Why her? Chapter 30 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu never expected that the female artiste President Qi signed for her would be that woman. She gripped the phone to calm herself. Buzz. Buzz. The phone beeped twice more. Li Xiwu exited Xue Jinzhus information and clicked on President Qis WeChat message. President Qi: [Xue Jinzhu has a sugar daddy behind her.] President Qi: [Next, you have to give her all the resources you have. Ji Weilings resources will be based on the response of the new drama. If the response of the new drama is not good, withdraw her resources.] She has a sugar daddy behind her. Give all resources. Withdraw Ji Weilings resources. The faces of capitalists were often like this, but she could not talk to President Qi from the perspective of a critic. Li Xiwu exhaled and calmly typed a reply: [Okay.] She scrolled down. There were WeChat messages from Ji Weiling and Yuanyuan. She clicked on it. Ji Weiling: [Miss Li, I finished an entire cup of kale and vegetable juice this morning. Im awesome, right?] Ji Weiling: [picture jpg.] Ji Weiling: [(looking for praise) (looking for praise) emoji pack GIF. ] Ji Weiling: [Youve told me many times that kale is a high-fiber and low-calorie nutritious vegetable. When it becomes a juice, it will be good for the body. I didnt like this taste before, but after accepting this taste, I unknowingly fell in love with it. Hehe~] Li Xiwu looked at Ji Weilings WeChat message and her heart sank. She replied with two WeChat messages. Ji Weiling should be looking at her phone at this time, so she immediately sent her a cute emoticon. Li Xiwu reminded Ji Weiling to go to bed early after work. Then, she continued to read the remaining unread WeChat messages and dragged her tired body to remove her makeup and take a shower. The next morning. Li Xiwu had told Gao Yueban in advance that she was leaving Fu Town to deal with work. Gao Yuebans meaning was: The previous two days, the live broadcast was at the inn. There are no missions today. The guests can decide on their own time. Its the same for Group One. In that case, all the better. Li Xiwu nodded. Ill discuss tonights schedule with my mother-in-law. Sure, Gao Yueban said. He waited for Li Xiwu to leave. The assistant asked Gao Yueban, Director Gao, are we still giving the script to Group Four? What script? Miss Li is a walking script. Gao Yueban now had high hopes for Group Four. He was also the one who directed the first season of Mother-in-Law Joy. It didnt feel as exciting as the second season. Perhaps it was because of the live broadcast. C Li Xiwu went upstairs and knocked on Han Qianyes door. Half a minute later, Han Qianye came over and opened the door. Looking at Li Xiwu, who was standing outside the door with her makeup done, Han Qianye turned around and went in. Youre done with your makeup so early. Li Xiwu said, There are no specific tasks for todays live broadcast. Time is at your disposal. Han Qianye nodded. I know. The director said so last night. The mud pack on her face had been applied for twenty minutes. Han Qianye prepared to wash the mud pack on her face in the bathroom, hydrate her face, and apply sunscreen. When the makeup artist came in to do her beautiful and exquisite makeup, she would plan to go out. Li Xiwu came in and waited for two minutes. Seeing that Han Qianye was still not out, she went to the bathroom door and said, Auntie, I need to go to the company. Go, go. Han Qianyes voice came from inside. There was the sound of water washing her face. Li Xiwu continued, I probably wont be back in the afternoon after Im done with my work. Its best if the live broadcast is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scene. Do you want to come with me? As soon as she finished speaking, Han Qianye, whose face was still covered in mud, walked out quickly. She asked, Are you really not coming back? Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. Han Qianye immediately said, Then Ill go with you. If you leave me here, I wont know anything Han Qianyes expression froze for a few seconds. She looked up at Li Xiwu. Seeing that she did not smile or show any other expression, Han Qianyes expression became a little more natural. Then wait for me for half an hour. Li Xiwu replied, Send me a WeChat message after youre done with your makeup. Got it. After a while, the makeup artist entered Han Qianyes room. The live broadcast started at ten. Li Xiwu and Han Qianye left Fu Town in the same car. In the car. Han Qianye looked at her makeup in the small mirror. The eyeliner today looks smoother than yesterday. I like this lip color too. It looks better than yesterday. Li Xiwu looked over and smiled. They all look good. Han Qianye grinned. As she smiled, she realized that her smile was a little silly. She immediately stopped smiling and said seriously, Its alright. Li Xiwu added, Its mainly because of your natural beauty. Han Qianye, who had already restrained her smile, smiled crazily when she heard this. [Im going to laugh to death by the fourth group.] [Han Qianye cant stand Li Xiwus praise at all. Why is that arrogant expression so likable?] [A combination of Brainless and Unhappy.] [I feel that Li Xiwu is very accommodating to Han Qianye. I wonder if everyone has noticed?] [Li Xiwu will follow whatever Han Qianye does, but she doesnt look afraid. Instead, she looks a little doting?] [I hope Sister Li and Xie Wen meet.] [I hope Sister Li and Xie Wen +1! I hope the production team will arrange it!] The car arrived at Hua Guan Media. Han Qianye followed Li Xiwu into Hua Guan Media. In the office, Han Qianye was observing the decor and furnishings of Li Xiwus office. Li Xiwu wanted to go upstairs to see President Qi. She came over and said to Han Qianye, President Qi wants to talk to me about something. Go. Han Qianye sat down on the sofa. Just as Li Xiwu turned to leave, Han Qianye suddenly stopped her. Hey Li Xiwu turned. Yes? Han Qianye put on a proud expression. Its not that I have to ask, but you have to say how long it will take, right? Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Half an hour, tops. Half an hour Han Qianye waved her hand. Go, go. Li Xiwu came out of the office and took the elevator to Qi Jiangchis office. When she entered, Li Xiwu knocked on the door. President Qi. In the presidents office with bright windows, Qi Jiangchis office was beside the floor-to-ceiling window. Behind him were the blinds. At this moment, Qi Jiangchi placed his long legs on the table. When he heard Li Xiwus voice, he looked up at the person who came in. Qi Jiangchi smiled and greeted, Miss Li, youre here. Li Xiwu nodded and walked in. Qi Jiangchi nodded at the chair in front of his desk, indicating for her to sit. Then, Qi Jiangchi picked up his phone and made a call. He instructed, Call Xue Jinzhu up and tell her that Miss Li is back. Chapter 31 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qi Jiangchi was the crown prince of Qingdong Group and also the president of Hua Guan Media. Li Xiwu recalled that when she first entered Hua Guan, she had known Qi Jiangchi until now. The two of them were subordinates and friends, but she could never see through this unpredictable man. Back then, when Xie Wen was pregnant and insisted on having a child before making a comeback, he did not give her any face and directly cut off all her resources and cut off her path of retreat. However, for this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show, he gave Xie Wen a favor and gave her exposure. As for Ji Weiling, she performed well in all aspects and was clearly improving. But now, with the words give away all her resources, it would undoubtedly cut off Ji Weilings path. Qi Jiangchis thin lips curled up, and his voice was light and smiling. Why? Youve been staring at me. Do you think Im handsome? Li Xiwu suddenly realized that he was looking at Qi Jiangchi when he was in a daze. She was serious. Can I still give Ji Weiling a way out? Im afraid not. Qi Jiangchis voice was very calm, without the teasing smile from before. Li Xiwu sighed. Ji Weiling is rising. Qi Jiangchi said, I know. Li Xiwu looked up at him. What did she do recently to make President Qi unhappy? Nothing. Qi Jiangchi played with his phone casually. Its not like you dont know me. Ive always been a person who separates my public and private affairs. Even if she pointed at my nose and scolded me, I wouldnt be angry with her. Li Xiwu suppressed her smile. If I can afford a lie detector one day, President Qi will be the first to use it. Qi Jiangchi chuckled. Ill be the first to test the lie detector you bought. In that case, Im quite respected. Just as she finished speaking, the phone he was playing with vibrated. Qi Jiangchi picked it up and glanced at it before getting up. Ill go in and take a call. Li Xiwu nodded. Okay. Qi Jiangchis office had a separate lounge that was very soundproof. Qi Jiangchi entered the lounge and closed the door. Li Xiwu retracted her gaze. She could guess that it was a call from the Qi family. He usually did not avoid other calls. She noticed that Qi Jiangchis table was a little messy. Since she was bored, she got up and helped him tidy up the table. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. The high heels made a crisp sound. Someone came in. Li Xiwu turned around when she heard the voice. The first thing she saw was her swaying figure and her dazzling rose-red fishtail dress. The skirt reached her thighs, and the slim and linear style wrapped around her extremely graceful curves. Her jade legs were long and straight. Not to mention men, even women would be confused for a few seconds. Xue Jinzhu walked in in her high heels. When she saw Li Xiwu standing by the desk, she raised her hand and flicked her wavy chestnut hair. Wheres President Qi? Li Xiwu pointed in the direction of the lounge. President Qi is answering an important call. Xue Jinzhu nodded and walked towards Li Xiwu. Placing the phone on the table, she glanced sideways at Li Xiwu. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pull out the seat. Li Xiwu was very good-tempered. She pulled the chair she had just sat on behind Xue Jinzhu. Sit. Xue Jinzhu smiled and sat down. Youre just an assistant. You dont have any judgment at all. You still need to be reminded when doing things. Be careful that I will report you to President Qi and fire you. Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. She thought that Xue Jinzhu was trying to intimidate her, but she did not expect that she had mistaken her for Qi Jiangchis assistant. She was about to clarify, not wanting to cause any unnecessary misunderstanding, when Xue Jinzhu suddenly pointed at her face. Why do you look a little familiar? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows, her hazel lips rippling with amusement. We have indeed met. Xue Jinzhu remembered. Yes, I remember now. You blocked my way at the hotel that day. I remember you a little. Li Xiwus smile faded a little. That day was referring to the hotel opposite the studio. When she went upstairs, she saw a scene she shouldnt have seen: Pei Jingzhou and Xue Jinzhu hugging each other. Ever since the day at the hotel, she had guessed that this woman would definitely be pampered by Pei Jingzhou and become his next favorite. From the information President Qi had sent her yesterday, as well as those words, she understood everything. Xue Jinzhus backer was Pei Jingzhou. Resources were tilted to make Xue Jinzhu famous at all costs. Poor Ji Weiling became a stepping stone. President Qi had handed Xue Jinzhu over to her not because he thought she had the ability to make Xue Jinzhu famous, but because Pei Jingzhou had instructed him to. This man really knew how to hurt ones heart. So youre President Qis assistant. Why didnt I see you the last time I came to President Qis office? Xue Jinzhu asked. Li Xiwus thoughts returned. Before she could say anything, Xue Jinzhu continued, By the way, do you think Miss Li is easy to get along with? Xue Jinzhu crossed her arms and sat still. Li Xiwu pressed her fingertips against the table. Youve never met her? she asked steadily. No. Xue Jinzhu said truthfully, I heard that Miss Li has been very busy recently. I dont know what shes busy with. Li Xiwu asked, Do you usually go online? Yes, WeChat. Xue Jinzhu raised her hand and yawned. But I like to play cards the most. I have a lot of friends. Li Xiwu pressed her lips together. Recently, she had recorded a variety show and had even been on the trending searches a few times. Everyone in the circle of aristocratic families had also seen it and sent messages on WeChat to wish that the variety show she had recorded would do well. Xue Jinzhu, who wanted to enter the entertainment industry, did not usually go online. Make me a cup of coffee. Xue Jinzhu yawned again, looking extremely sleepy. I played cards until midnight last night. If I had known that Miss Li was coming back today, I wouldnt have played cards last night. Im so sleepy. Li Xiwu stood still. Xue Jinzhu said impatiently, Go on, what are you waiting for? Just as she finished speaking, the door of the lounge opened and Qi Jiangchis voice sounded. Xue Jinzhu, who are you ordering to make coffee for you! Hearing Qi Jiangchis voice, Xue Jinzhu immediately stood up. Qi Jiangchi walked over and sat back in his chair. Xue Jinzhu was also about to sit down. President Qi, I Qi Jiangchi said in a low voice, Who told you to sit there? Xue Jinzhu, who was about to sit down, suddenly froze for two to three seconds. She sat down and said angrily, Whats wrong with me sitting here! Qi Jiangchi raised his chin and looked at her. Get up! Xue Jinzhu sat stubbornly. I wont. That expression seemed to say: I have a background. What can you do to me?! Qi Jiangchi snorted and looked sideways at Li Xiwu. Miss Li Qi Jiangchi only called out to Miss Li, but before he could say anything, Xue Jinzhu, who had refused to stand up, suddenly stood up and looked at Li Xiwu in shock. You-youre Miss Li? Chapter 32 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xue Jinzhu looked like she was shocked. However, Li Xiwu did not know why Xue Jinzhu had such an expression. Qi Jiangchi asked three consecutive questions. Who else do you think she is? My assistant? At your disposal? One question for all. Xue Jinzhu felt very guilty and quickly shook her head. Then, she pulled out the seat from before and said to Li Xiwu in a fawning manner, Maam, please sit. She even used the word maam. Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhu and raised her eyebrows in confusion. Xue Jinzhu felt even more guilty. She lowered her eyes. Im sorry, I didnt know you were Miss Li. Li Xiwus eyebrows lowered and her voice was calm. Its fine. Just sit. No, no. Xue Jinzhu was someone who put on airs in front of Qi Jiangchi, but she lowered her attitude in front of Li Xiwu. This is Miss Lis seat. Its better for you to sit. Ill stand beside you. Suit yourself. Li Xiwu was not sure what Xue Jinzhu was thinking. She went forward and sat down. Xue Jinzhu leaned over and asked like a maid, Miss Li, do you want coffee? Ill make it for you. Li Xiwu didnt flinch. No need. Just a second ago, Xue Jinzhu was still ordering Li Xiwu around. The next second, she took the initiative to please Li Xiwu. On the other hand, Qi Jiangchi smiled when he saw this scene. Xue Jinzhu, are you looking down on me? Xue Jinzhu stood up straight and patted her chest. Im always keeping President Qi in my heart. Qi Jiangchis smile faded. Alright, lets get down to business. The official matter was none other than Xue Jinzhus subsequent resource arrangements. Whether to film or participate in the debut of the female group first, Xue Jinzhu had a lot of say in this matter. However, she did not make the decision on her own. Instead, she asked Li Xiwus opinion first. Miss Li, what do you think? Li Xiwu raised a hand to her jaw. Depends on yourself. Xue Jinzhu was very obedient. Ill listen to Miss Li. Li Xiwu looked up at her. Xue Jinzhu smiled at her and openly showed how much she wanted to please her. Qi Jiangchis smile deepened. Xue Jinzhu, it seems that youre very satisfied with your manager. Xue Jinzhu said, Of course. Li Xiwu had mixed feelings, so she didnt say much. When they were almost done talking, Li Xiwu gave a plan for Xue Jinzhus direction. Most of it involved professionalism. Xue Jinzhu didnt understand and her mind was filled with the cards for tonights meeting. Only when Li Xiwu looked at her did she immediately straighten up and smile. After coming out of the office, Xue Jinzhu walked beside Li Xiwu. Miss Li, do I have to attend acting class first? Li Xiwu said, Yes. Xue Jinzhu asked, Can I join the production team after the acting class? We have to go through the process of signing for the new show. Take your acting class for the time being, Li Xiwu said, looking at her wristwatch. It had been more than half an hour. She wondered if Han Qianye had left first. She stood still and turned around to say to Xue Jinzhu, I still have something on. Contact me on WeChat. Come, lets add each other on WeChat. With that, Li Xiwu took out her phone. Xue Jinzhu quickly took out her phone and opened the QR code. She was making a note when she heard Miss Li ask her, Did he tell you anything? He? Xue Jinzhu was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Oh, he asked me to learn more from you. Dont worry about the resources. You will arrange them for me. Li Xiwu said, Got it. She turned to go. Xue Jinzhu stopped her. Miss Li. Li Xiwu turned. Yes? Xue Jinzhu took half a step forward. Im sorry about that day at the hotel. Li Xiwu said calmly, Theres no need to tell me this. If you have any requests, ask him. He will satisfy you. Xue Jinzhu pouted. Thats true. I accompanied him all night that day before he agreed to let me enter the entertainment industry to arrange resources for me. Li Xiwu smiled but said nothing. At this moment, Xue Jinzhus phone rang. Xue Jinzhu picked up her phone and looked at it. Its him. Li Xiwu said quietly, Go and answer it. Xue Jinzhu waved at Li Xiwu and turned to answer the phone on the other side. Li Xiwu felt disgusted. Pei Jingzhou, oh Pei Jingzhou, you really know how to hurt ones heart. C She went to the office downstairs. Li Xiwu saw that the cameraman was still there and knew that Han Qianye had not left. She should be waiting for her. She felt slightly guilty. She had said half an hour, but she had added more than twenty minutes. She walked in and the cameraman pointed the camera at her. Two or three minutes ago shed been talking about work, and two or three minutes later she was on a variety show live. Youre back. Han Qianye did not get up when she saw Li Xiwu return. She looked a little unhappy. Li Xiwu apologized first. Sorry about the delay up there. Han Qianye closed her eyes and remained silent. It was almost noon, and it was time to eat. Li Xiwu took out her phone and opened the Meituan app. What do you want to eat for lunch? Han Qianye said, Anything. Her tone was neutral. Theres a Sichuan restaurant I frequent. Can you eat Sichuan food? Li asked. Han Qianye said, Anything. Li Xiwu got up. Then lets get moving. Li Xiwu drove to the Sichuan restaurant while Han Qianye sat in the front passenger seat. [Brainless doesnt look too happy today.] [Li Xiwu is so busy with work. Doesnt her mother-in-law understand?] [They agreed on half an hour, but weve been waiting for almost an hour. Arent you allowed to be angry for a while?] [Li Xiwu is too busy. Han Qianye has been sitting in the office and waiting for so long. I feel that theres nothing to see today. Its still more exciting on Group Ones side.] [Group One entered the mall and kept shopping. Just the expenses in the Cartier shop are more than 600,000 yuan. We can only be envious of the world of the rich.] [Min Hanrong is really good to her daughter-in-law.] The comments were all discussing the first group. Because Han Qianye was in a bad mood, the two of them did not interact much during the live broadcast. Their popularity was a little low, so there were not many comments. Gao Yueban, who was sitting in front of the monitor, looked doubtful. Ah, this The assistant said, Director Gao, didnt you say that Miss Li is the walking script? But they are the least popular today. Gao Yueban frowned. Lets wait and see. It might have a reversal. However, Gao Yueban was too hopeful. Not only did Group Fours mother-in-law and daughter-in-laws live broadcast not have any reversal, but their popularity was also at the bottom. As they did not do anything, they just drank coffee and read magazines. Finally, the live broadcast ended at five. In the car, Han Qianye said to the driver, Take me back to the Pei residence first. The driver adjusted the GPS. Li Xiwu remained silent. As they drove slowly, Li Xiwus phone vibrated twice. She clicked on it. It was a WeChat voice message from Qiao Qiao. She deliberately changed the speaker to the receiver mode, but she ignored the fact that the volume of the receiver mode was also very loud. Han Qianye, who was beside her, heard Qiao Qiaos voice clearly. Qiao Qiao: [Bae, did you go? I saw in the group chat that there are two high-quality men who are going on the blind date tonight. You should pay more attention to them. Ive figured it out. Anyway, its for yourself. If you think its really good, hold hands and look everywhere.] Li Xiwu took down her phone and was about to type a reply to Qiao Qiao. Suddenly sensing something, she glanced sideways and saw Han Qianye looking at her. Before she could speak, Han Qianye asked, Are you going on a blind date? Chapter 33 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu replied, Not a blind date. I heard it very clearly. Han Qianye was very sure that she had not heard wrongly. Li Xiwu put away her phone and thought about replying to Qiao Qiao later. She explained to Han Qianye, Its just a blind date program. In any case, Han Qianye couldnt wait for her to divorce Pei Jingzhou. If she said that she would participate in the blind date show, Han Qianye would probably be very happy. But she didnt seem quite as happy as she expected. Han Qianye did not look very happy. She asked calmly, Is the blind date program real or fake? If you succeed in holding hands, you have to date? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. She thought for a few seconds before answering. The show is real. Han Qianye frowned. In other words, theres a high probability that the blind date will succeed? The show was indeed real. However, a small portion of the shows guests, male and female, would be arranged to promote the shows effect. But there were also many who succeeded in holding hands. Li Xiwu thought for a few seconds before answering, If you meet a male guest who is very suitable for you in all aspects, you can take the initiative to confess. If you are fated, you should be able to hold hands successfully. Han Qianye fell silent. Li Xiwu picked up her phone and continued to type a reply to Qiao Qiao: [On the way there, are they taking attendance? Ill be there soon.] Buzz. Qiao Qiao sent a voice message: [Its not time yet. I just wanted to let you know that there are two male guests that are quite good tonight. The group chat is in high demand.] Han Qianye heard the voice message clearly. She snorted. How outstanding can they be? Theyre worlds apart from my son. Li Xiwu, who was typing, was speechless. She didnt look at her phone again after replying to Qiao Qiaos message. When the car arrived at the Pei residence, Han Qianye got out of the car with her bag. Li Xiwu was about to press the button to close the automatic door when Han Qianye turned back. Where is the blind date program? Li Xiwu thought for three seconds before answering. The studio in the main TV station. After answering, she asked, Are you going? What am I going to do? Am I so free! Han Qianye snorted arrogantly and turned to walk in. Li Xiwu pressed the button. Go to the main TV station. Okay, Miss Li. Ten minutes later, Li Xiwu had just arrived at the main TV station when she received a call from Pei Jingzhou. She picked it up and called, Fourth Brother. Li Xiwu had been to the main TV station once before, so she was familiar with the place. She walked straight in without asking for directions. Pei Jingzhous voice came from the phone. Are you done recording the variety show? Li Xiwu stopped short. She had forgotten to tell Pei Jingzhou that she had something to do tonight. She hoped that it was not too late to tell him now. Qiao Qiao asked me out. It might take some time. Ill be back at Lake Lu at ten oclock sharp. Ten oclock? Yeah. On the other end of the line, Pei Jingzhous voice was a little cold. Its five-thirty now. Youll be home at ten. Are you going to plan for the future development of the country in the next few hours? Li Xiwu: She choked for a few seconds before explaining obediently, Qiao Qiao has asked me out several times. I cant stand her up this time. Pei Jingzhou: Nine oclock. Ten oclock was too late. He wanted her home by nine. Li Xiwu carefully recalled Qiao Qiaos WeChat message. The recording would start at 6:30 sharp. It wouldnt end until 9:30 sharp. The recording would start on time, but it wouldnt end on time. It might be delayed until after 10. And Pei Jingzhou wanted her to go back by 9. Wasnt it just about sex? Didnt he already have a new lover? At the thought of this, Li Xiwu felt a little angry and disgusted. Her tone was not as obedient as before. Im your wife, not your subordinate. Why do you care what time I come back? The line went quiet. Li Xiwu calmed down a lot, so she said in one breath, Ill come back when I want to. Its not like I wont go home. Dont worry about me in the future. She hung up before Pei Jingzhou could say anything. On the other side, in the car driving back to Lake Lu. Pei Jingzhou took down his phone and looked at the screen. The air in the car froze for a few seconds. Beside him, a chuckle followed. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. He Wang immediately shut his mouth and asked in a very concerned tone, Is Sister-in-law in a bad mood? Pei Jingzhous cold expression softened. Perhaps. He Wang tried his best to suppress his smile. When a girl is in a bad mood, its a big deal. Its not easy to coax her. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. What do you think? He Wang used a common trick. Buy flowers! When a woman is in a bad mood, buy her flowers. I guarantee that her mood will improve in a second. Pei Jingzhou: Tacky. He Wang finally couldnt suppress his laughter and revealed his upper teeth. Its tacky, but women fall for it. And with that, He Wang turned around and secretly picked up his phone. He opened the WeChat group of the four of them and risked his life to quietly type a message in the group: [Pass it down, Fourth Brother will be alone tonight.] C Li Xiwu had watched two episodes of the blind date show before. Later on, she was too busy to watch it. There were no rehearsals for the show. It was recorded in real time and would be edited and broadcast later. Li Xiwu went to the backstage dressing room under Qiao Qiaos instructions. She had thought that since the blind date program was so popular, there should be a lot of real guests who had signed up to participate. When she arrived, she realized that she had been too narrow-minded. There were a total of twenty female guests, and ten of them were shills! Standing in front of the makeup mirror, she used the makeup tools shed been provided to modify her makeup. She changed it to a more vibrant, smoky makeup, then changed into the clothes shed been provided with. Her entire demeanor had changed. She was very different from before. At this moment, Director Yu Qingye walked in and said, Is everyone here? If youre here, respond. The director held the list in his hand and called each name one by one. Li Xiwu answered, Present. She was at the side, not far from Yu Qingye. After she responded, Yu Qingye looked over. Qiao Qiao? Li Xiwus expression didnt change as he was called out a second time. Here, she replied without moving. Yu Qingye walked over. Damn! Li Xiwu: ? Yu Qingye said, You told me on WeChat that you went to make some adjustments. I thought that it would at most be a filler, but I didnt expect you to change your face directly. Li Xiwu: She thought that Qiao Qiao was invisible here, but she was actually very familiar with the director. This is not just an adjustment. You actually went for plastic surgery. It had to be said, its even better looking than before. But it must have cost a fortune. I heard it cost tens of thousands. Yu Qingye praised her very honestly. It was indeed honest. But any more praise and she would be the center of attention. Li Xiwu cut to the chase. Are we on? Right. Two minutes to start. Yu Qingye said as he walked, You look good, but you look a little like a female guest on a popular in-law variety show recently. The moment that was said, many gazes turned to Li Xiwu Chapter 34 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu had been avoiding contact with others since she came in. Because Qiao Qiao had also said that she had not received any script arrangements, there were almost no scenes for tonights recording. She just needed to be a quiet shill. But even so, Li Xiwu was still worried about being recognized by others, so she tried her best to avoid contact with others. Unexpectedly, the director found out first. She sweated. Following Yu Qingyes words, the people around her quickly began to discuss her She really does look like that Li Xiwu. Which Li Xiwu? Who? A celebrity? Mother-in-Law Joy! Didnt you watch Mother-in-Law Joy? This time, Mother-in-Law Joy is doing a live broadcast of the second season. Li Xiwus culinary skills are amazing. I really like this group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. A mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show? Doesnt that mean shes married? Why is she attending a blind date show when shes married? Whats there to be surprised about? So what if shes married? In any case, were all shills. Perhaps they are not the real mother and daughter-in-law in that show. They might not even know each other in private. Damn! I accidentally heard some gossip! The chatter reached Li Xiwus ears. She listened calmly and said nothing. Why are you shouting! Why are you shouting! Director Yu Qingye came back and said at the top of his voice, Shes Qiao Qiao. Our show has been supporting her for a long time. Some time ago, she went to change her face. Perhaps that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show has been quite popular recently. The plastic surgeon happened to watch that show, so he fixed Qiao Qiao up according to the template of the guests in it. Whats there to be surprised about? Li Xiwu: Yu Qingye spoke very seriously. He hadnt expected his words to draw so much speculation from her. As soon as he spoke, the mouths of the people stopped. Seeing that everyone had stopped, Yu Qingye shouted, Its time to go on stage. Li Xiwu walked forward in order. People passing by turned to look at her. When you look at it like that, dont you think it doesnt look so similar? I have to say, plastic surgery is amazing these days. Li Xiwu is a celebrity manager after all. How could she have the time to be on this blind date show? Besides, Li Xiwu is a cold beauty. She How does she look like a cold beauty? But that smoky makeup is quite good. When I saw Mother-in-Law Joy, I liked Li Xiwus appearance. Ive already reserved her face for my next life. It seems that I dont have to wait for my next life to use it in this life. Help me ask which plastic surgery hospital she went to. Remember to share it in the group if you find out. Got it. She was already ahead of them. The discussion drifted away. Li Xiwu took out her phone and sent Qiao Qiao a WeChat message: [Find an authoritative plastic surgery hospital and send it to the group chat.] Soon, Qiao Qiao replied: [New business?] Li Xiwu typed: [The director praised me for my success in changing my face. Everyone wants to know about the plastic surgery hospital that changed my face.] Qiao Qiao: [This new business is not bad! Ive done a full set of acting. I expected to be asked. Ill talk to the plastic surgery hospital I know first. The commission is eight for you and two for me.] Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. [Youre welcome. Lets earn money together. Fifty-fifty.] Qiao Qiao sent a voice message: [Daddy!] C The entire recording studio played metal-wind-rich music. It was a little noisy. Han Qianye has been frowning since she came in. Beside her, Pei Jiao asked lazily, Mom, why did you suddenly think of bringing me to watch a blind date show? If you want to find me a boyfriend, you should sign me up to participate. Han Qianye said, Shut up. Pei Jiao said, What did you say? I didnt hear you. Han Qianye took a deep breath and felt very annoyed. The metal music at the show was annoying her, and the chattering of Pei Jiao was also annoying her. It was all so annoying. Why was there no such noisy trouble around Li Xiwu?! On the stage, Yu Qingye began to warm up the venue. Good evening, everyone. Im the host, Yu Qingye! What youre watching is the love show Palpitation Light created by Cloud View. We only provide encounters, not arranged love. If youre still single and looking forward to a perfect love match, come sign up for our show. Next, the two emotional analysts below the stage greeted everyone. After introducing them, he got to the point. Yu Qingye held up the microphone. Alright, we will now invite the twenty most attractive single female guests tonight. As the host finished speaking, the atmosphere of the entire venue reached its peak. The rhythm of metal motion music accompanied the appearance of the female guest. There was a round of applause from the audience. Han Qianye immediately saw Li Xiwu. She had clearly changed her dress and put on some smoky makeup. There were also so many beautiful female guests, but she recognized Li Xiwu at a glance. Mom! Pei Jiaos shocked shout shocked Han Qianye. Han Qianye turned to look at Pei Jiao. Whats wrong? Pei Jiao raised her hand to her mouth and said loudly, Youre not planning to find Brother a woman on this show, right? Han Qianye said, Youre thinking too much. Pei Jiao leaned back. They arent as good-looking as Sister-in-law. Han Qianye said, I think so too. After saying this, Han Qianye was stunned for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips and remained silent. After the 20 female guests stood in their positions, Yu Qingye said in a clear voice, Welcome, 20 beautiful single female guests. Alright, lets welcome the male guests tonight. Dynamic metal music filled the room again. After the first male guest went on stage, he was greeted with enthusiastic applause from the audience. Not only below the stage, but the female guests on stage were also very excited. Because the first male guest was very handsome! On the stage, Li Xiwu felt a little cold. Although it was already cold weather, there were many people in the studio, so it was inevitable that the smell was heavy. The air conditioner was on in the ceiling. She was bored and cold and was not in the mood to look at the audience. She did not know that Han Qianye had brought Pei Jiao here. She noticed that the first male guest was indeed quite handsome. He was also a mature boy. He was very tall, probably 1.85 meters. His face was handsome, and he had a beard. It was a mature and charming style. The female guests on both sides were already stirring. After watching the male guest introduce himself, the female guests were so excited that they wanted to confess immediately. It had to be said that male guest number one was indeed very capable. He was handsome and had his own company. He was simply in high demand. The ninth female guest. Number nine! It took Li Xiwu two or three seconds to realize that number nine was herself. Caught off guard, Li Xiwu looked in the direction of the voice. It was Male Guest Number One shouting for her. At this moment, the camera landed on Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu smiled calmly and said in a calm voice, Hello. Male guest number one fixed his gaze on Li Xiwu and asked, May I ask what requirements female guest number nine has for her future partner? There was meaningful laughter from the audience. Han Qianyes ears were sharp. She heard the audience member in front of her say to his friend, Can you tell? The first male guest is attracted to the ninth female guest. Chapter 35 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao suddenly shouted, Mom! Han Qianye looked away from the audience in front of her. What? Pei Jiao asked, Who do you think this female guest number nine looks like? Han Qianye looked at Pei Jiaos wooden fish head. Who do you think she looks like? Pei Jiao had a strange expression. Doesnt she look like Peripheral Li? Peripheral Li? Han Qianye was stunned. Pei Jiao reminded her, Didnt you say that the proxy is the peripheral? Han Qianye was speechless. Pei Jiao carefully stared at Li Xiwu, who was sitting at seat number nine on the stage. The more she looked at her, the more confused she became. This number nine female guest really looks like Peripheral Li. But whats her name in front of the light sign Qiao Qiao? Oh, that should just be a resemblance. Peripheral Li doesnt usually dress like this. Han Qianye snorted. Youre quite observant. Pei Jiao took out her phone and turned on the camera. She took pictures of the person in seat number nine on the stage. Han Qianye noticed that Pei Jiaos phone screen had shattered into spiderwebs. The phone is so rotten that it can still be used? Pei Jiao said, The screen is rotten, but the inside isnt. Han Qianye took a closer look and realized that the phone was operating smoothly when Pei Jiao clicked on it. The inside didnt even rot after falling like that. Thinking about it, your height saved your phone. Pei Jiao: ? Han Qianye pressed Pei Jiaos phone down. Alright, stop taking photos. The photos are all taken. Pei Jiao opened WeChat on her phone. Im going to send the photos to my brother. Theres another one here who looks like his first love. Im going to ask him if he wants her to join the harem. Han Qianyes lips twitched. Youre pimping your brother. Pei Jiao argued, In any case, isnt this the only type he likes? One to comfort his longing, and another to make him happier. He might get sick of it after a few more. His first love wont be his love anymore. Im really smart. With that, she hit send on the photo. Pei Jingzhou quickly received the photo. C On the stage. Faced with male guest number ones sudden roll call, Li Xiwu replied naturally, I prefer loyalty. No matter how outstanding he is, as long as hes not loyal enough, its a sin. It was a sharp answer. Male guest number one smiled. Coincidentally, my thoughts coincide with those of female guest number nine. My requirements for my other half are also loyalty. As long as she only has eyes for me, I will always love her and always put her first in my heart. It was an excellent answer. Their conversation led to a subtle atmosphere. Both the host and the two emotional analysts could already see the signs. Li Xiwu could already feel several hostile gazes on her. Tonights first male guest was outstanding in both looks and career. He was very popular. It was obvious that there would be a lot of people who would leave their lights on to confess to the male guest. But she wasnt involved. The onlookers started fighting. All she had to do tonight was stand in for Qiao Qiao long enough to wait for the recording to end. However, the subsequent development was completely out of Li Xiwus control. Male guest number one peppered her with questions. For example: I want to know more about female guest number nine. Do you like to stay at home in private, or do you go out shopping more? For example: I want to know the horoscope of female guest number nine. I wonder if female guest number nine believes in horoscopes? Another example: How long can female guest number nine accept a relationship? Every time the host asked the male guest to ask a question, the male guests could clearly choose different female guests to ask questions, but the male guest used every opportunity to ask questions on guest number nine. Everyone could tell that the first male guest had fallen in love at first sight. He was mesmerized by the ninth female guest and was completely infatuated. Finally, it was time to put out the lights. Even though most of the female guests on the stage could already tell that male guest number one was clearly tempted by female guest number nine, there were still five or six female guests who insisted on leaving their lights on for male guest number one during the lantern-extinguishing segment. When Li Xiwu extinguished the lights, the male guest also clearly looked disappointed. According to the program, the next step was the confession of the female guest. The male guests could choose to reject everyones confession and then officially confess to their female guests. Han Qianye looked at the male guest on the stage who was tactfully rejecting his confession. Then, she looked at Li Xiwu on the stage and immediately couldnt sit still. She said, This kid isnt going to confess to number nine next, is he? Pei Jiao said, Its obvious. Male guest number one doesnt like anyone except number nine. Looks like the first pair tonight should be able to make it. I feel that male guest number one is alright in all aspects and is quite sincere. Alright?! How is he alright?! Hes far inferior to my son! Han Qianye was inexplicably angry. Pei Jiao turned to her mother in surprise. Mom, arent you being too immersive? Han Qianye said, I Pei Jiao raised her hand and patted Han Qianyes shoulder. Mom, this is a blind date program. Everyone will be happy if it works. If it doesnt, they will leave with regrets, why are you so agitated? Han Qianye suddenly came to her senses. Yes, why would I be agitated? No, she shouldnt be agitated. Han Qianye comforted herself that if Li Xiwu took a fancy to this male guest, Li Xiwu might divorce her son even faster. They better hold hands tonight! When she went back, she would tell her son that Li Xiwu had gotten together with another man first. When the time came, he wouldnt give her a single cent of his assets! Right! Just like that! In fact, self-comfort was fake. Han Qianye was about to die of anxiety. On the stage. Male Guest Number One had rejected all the female guests who had confessed to him. Each rejection was very tactful but very firm. The female guests knew that there was no hope. It was a pity that such an outstanding male guest had taken a fancy to a plastic face. The host, Yu Qingye, raised his microphone and said loudly, Next, please tell everyone who your heartthrob is. Male guest number one held up his microphone and looked lovingly in Lis direction. Number nine. Li Xiwu: If one wanted to avoid it, one would encounter it instead. She sighed silently, then her lips curled into a proper smile. Under the hosts loud voice, she slowly walked off the stage. They closed the distance at once. Li Xiwu realized that this male guest was also very handsome up close. His facial features were really superior. He had a high nose bridge and phoenix eyes. When he wasnt smiling, his facial expression looked a little aloof. Soft music had been arranged backstage, which was very suitable for the scene of the confession. Male guest number one stood only five meters away from Li Xiwu. He held the microphone nervously and officially introduced himself to Li Xiwu. Hello, Im Lu Cheng. Han Qianye suddenly stood up. Pei Jiao was shocked. Mom? He was really going to confess. Han Qianye really couldnt calm down anymore! Chapter 36 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao pulled Han Qianye to sit down. Mom, theyre confessing on stage. Dont interrupt. No, I have to stop it. Han Qianye was about to go on stage. Pei Jiao pulled her back. Look carefully. Im not the one being confessed on stage. Its someone else. Han Qianye glanced at Pei Jiao. If its you, I wont care. Pei Jiao: ? Li Xiwu nodded and smiled. Hello, Lu Cheng. It was obvious that Lu Cheng was really happy and excited. It was also because he was too excited that when he confessed, he was so nervous that he could not speak properly. Actually, Ive seen you backstage before. My eyes lit up. Li Xiwu said, Thank you. Lu Cheng switched the microphone to his other hand and looked at it. Sorry, my palm is sweating a lot. Li Xiwu tried to comfort him. Take it easy. Im still a little nervous, Lu Cheng said honestly. Then he began to talk about his situation. He was no longer incoherent like before. He spoke fluently and confidently about his development over the past two years and his family situation. He was very sincere, so sincere that Li Xiwu had the impression that this illusion was perhaps, worth a try? Of course, that was just an illusion. Lu Cheng said, Actually, before I came, it was my parents who signed me up for the program. I didnt know at that time. They were too worried that I would only care about my career and not my future. My parents have been urging me for a long time about starting a family. Most of my attitude was a passing remark. I didnt pay much attention to it. Before I came here, I thought Id deal with Mom and Dads arrangements, but I didnt think Id meet you and make me fall in love at first sight. As Lu Cheng finished his confession, the atmosphere of the confessional music also reached its peak. There was a round of encouraging applause. Pei Jiao also applauded. Mom! This man is not bad! Its just that his confession is a little greasy. Hes so greasy. After Han Qianye finished complaining, she looked at Pei Jiaos hands that could not stop clapping. Doesnt your hand hurt? It doesnt hurt, Pei Jiao said, still clapping. After saying that, she asked Han Qianye, Mom, are you not clapping because your hand hurts? Han Qianye replied perfunctorily, Yes. The next second, Pei Jiao clapped even louder. Mom, then Ill clap for you too. Han Qianye closed her eyes tightly. I dont think theyre compatible. I think theyre okay, Pei Jiao said. Han Qianye said, Okay, my ass. Pei Jiao: ? At this moment, the confession stage on the stage had reached its climax. Someone below the stage shouted again, Say yes! Say yes! Say yes! This Lu Cheng is not bad. Ive been here for several episodes. Its rare to meet such a high-quality boy. If I had known, I would have signed up for my daughter. Hes good-looking and loyal. He even started his own business. Hes definitely tall, rich, and handsome. The ninth female guest is also quite beautiful. The two of them must look good together. On the stage, Li Xiwu looked at the affectionate and handsome Lu Cheng and considered how to reject him. Accepting was only a passing thought. How could they really meet and interact with just one look? Besides, she still had to record an in-law variety show. She really did not have much time to date again. Just as she was considering how to refuse without hurting anyone Lu Cheng seemed to have seen through her hesitation and said anxiously, Miss Qiao, Im willing to give you a house unconditionally to express my sincerity to you. The moment that was said, there was an uproar. A house? Did I hear right! Thats too persistent. Theyve only just met and hes already giving away a house. Should I praise him for being generous or for being short-witted? Hes giving it away unconditionally. Isnt he afraid that shell take the house and run away? If he doesnt get it, the house will be gone. He started a business. How could he lack the money for a house? The temptation is almost too great. If I hesitated for half a second, Id be disrespecting a suite. I can tell that this male guest number one really likes female guest number nine. He must be very afraid of missing out. Heavens, how sad would it be if the ninth female guest rejected the other party? After all, the male guest is so outstanding. If she refused again, she would be blind. Its impossible for her to refuse, right? This male guest number one is handsome, rich, and sincere. Why would number nine reject him? My daughter is not bad-looking either. I really want to call my daughter over and confess on the spot. I want to pester this male guest no matter what. Thats a house! The discussion among the audience became even more intense. Pei Jiao said, Mom, I think itll work. Han Qianye said, Shut up. Pei Jiao: ? At this moment, Pei Jiao noticed her mothers slowly clenching fists and asked curiously, Mom, why are you clenching your fists so tightly? Han Qianye raised his chin slightly. None of your business. Pei Jiao reached out to help Han Qianye pry open her clenched fists. Your nails are almost digging into your flesh. Han Qianye looked down at Pei Jiaos reminder and realized that there were several crescent-shaped nail marks on her palm. She cant bear it! Itll be too late if she continues to bear it! On the stage, Li Xiwu smiled at Lu Cheng. I I object! Li Xiwu had only said one word when two words, louder than the hosts voice, suddenly came from the audience below the stage: I object! For a moment, everyone in the room looked at the person who said, I object. Pei Jiao was expecting the female guest to agree when her mother suddenly stood up and said, I object. She was stunned. Everyone looked at Han Qianye, who had stood up. She had put on a mask and sunglasses at the last minute, so no one could see what she looked like. They could only vaguely remember her loud voice shouting, I object! Mom. Pei Jiao pulled Han Qianyes hand. What are you doing? They are in the middle of confession. Why are you objecting? Han Qianye waved Pei Jiaos hand away. Be good. Go outside and Makka Pakka. Pei Jiao: ? The host, Yu Qingye, was also very confused. When he quickly reacted, he looked at the audience below the stage and asked with a smile, May I know who you are? Han Qianye said, Im her mother. Oh, so its Auntie. Yu Qingyes smile stiffened. By the way, are you the male guests mother or the female guests mother? Without another word, Han Qianye stepped out of the audience seats and walked straight to the stage. Pei Jiao could not stop her at all. And then Pei Jiaos phone vibrated. She picked it up. Caller ID: God of Fortune. Fuck me! Pei Jiao did not have time to care about why Han Qianye went on stage. She sat down and answered Pei Jingzhous call first. She said carefully, Brother? Pei Jingzhous cold voice came from the other end. Where? Pei Jiao remembered that she had just sent her brother a photo of the ninth female guest. Had her brother fallen for her? That was true. She looked a little like his first love and definitely had plans to enter the harem. In that case, she had contributed greatly! Pei Jiao straightened his back. Brother, have you taken a fancy to the number nine female guest in the photo? Let me tell you, this number nine female guest was confessed to by the number one male guest today and was prepared to give her a house unconditionally. I want to raise my hand and say Im willing on behalf of number nine. As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Jiao heard Pei Jingzhous cold warning. Dont you dare say it on behalf of her! Chapter 37 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao: ? Why did it feel like her brother was very angry? What did she just say? She said that she would say Im willing on behalf of the female guest nine, but her brother warned her! Brother, I Pei Jingzhou asked in a low voice, Where? In Before she could finish explaining, Pei Jiao changed the topic. In the main TV studio. Its a live recording. Brother, do you want to come over? Just as she finished asking, Pei Jingzhou hung up. Pei Jiao listened to the busy tone on the phone with a blank expression and wondered what was wrong with this God of Fortune. She had not offended him recently, right? At this moment. Because Han Qianye suddenly went on stage, be it the host, the male guest, or the others on and off the stage, they were all surprised by this sudden Objection segment! Some viewers were even thinking: Could this be a new segment added to the blind date show? Although they were shocked, they had to admit, it was quite exciting! Mother-in-law personally said no! When Li Xiwu saw this audience wearing a mask and sunglasses rushing up, she did not immediately recognize that she was Han Qianye. In addition, she had shouted I object just now, which was unlike Han Qianyes usual noble voice. At this moment, Han Qianye walked over and pulled Li Xiwu behind her. Li Xiwu was stunned. Immediately after, Han Qianye stood in front of Li Xiwu and looked up at the surprised and confused male guest opposite her. She said firmly, I object to you holding hands. Lu Cheng asked carefully, You are? Han Qianye raised her eyebrows and said firmly, Im her mother. At this moment, everyone who looked at Li Xiwu: ? Li Xiwu: ? The emotional analyst asked the host to ask what was going on. Yu Qingye walked over in a daze and removed the microphone. He lowered his voice and asked Li Xiwu, Qiao Qiao, is she really your mother? Li Xiwu reacted quickly and replied without hesitation. Yes. Li Xiwu did not recognize Han Qianye when she came on stage, but when she said Im her mother just now, coupled with the close distance, Li Xiwu finally recognized whose voice it was and knew the identity of this masked hero. Who else could it be but Han Qianye! She really did not expect Han Qianye to come on stage. She did not expect Han Qianyes I object to save her the trouble of thinking about how to reject him. Yu Qingye swallowed his saliva. Why did you call your mother over? Theres no such segment in the show. Li Xiwu raised her lips. Consider it a new segment in the programme arrangements. Yu Qingye said, That works? Li Xiwu said, Itll work. Are you sure? If anything happens, youll have to take responsibility. Theres no preview for such a segment, so it should affect the program greatly. Yu Qingye was most worried about this. It might even affect the reputation of the show after it aired. Although Li Xiwu could not tell what Han Qianye was thinking, she knew that Han Qianye had always cared about her reputation. Even though she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, she still cared about her reputation when she spoke. She first vouched for Han Qianye. There wont be any problems. Alright then. Yu Qingye turned around silently. Meanwhile, Lu Cheng looked at the mother-in-law who had appeared out of nowhere. His composure was fake, and his palms were sweating more than when he confessed. His fingertips scratched his brow. He wanted to ease the tension, but he didnt know which words to say first. Han Qianye frowned and sized up the male guest opposite her. Wasnt he fully prepared to take down Li Xiwu just now? Why did this male guest become unconfident the moment she went on stage? Ahem! She cleared her throat. When Lu Cheng heard the cough, he immediately looked at Han Qianye. Hello, Auntie. Han Qianye said in a critical tone, Youre not suitable for my daughter. Lu Cheng was anxious. Auntie, I know its our first time meeting and we dont know each other very well, but Im sincere to Miss Qiao. I hope Auntie can give me this chance. Heh! Han Qianye sneered. Lu Chengs forehead was covered in sweat. Han Qianye said in a lukewarm tone, Hello, Mr. Number One. I was also touched when you confessed to my daughter just now. Youre indeed very outstanding and have good conditions in all aspects. Lu Cheng did not expect his mother-in-law to praise him. He was very flattered. Thank you. Han Qianye said, Just being polite. Lu Cheng: Just as Lu Cheng thought that there was a high probability that he still had a chance, he heard his mother-in-law say, However, there is one requirement that my daughter has to make clear now. This requirement is that the man has to be prepared to marry into my family. Lu Cheng: ? Li Xiwu: Han Qianye continued, My daughter met a scumbag who wasnt loyal in the past. That scumbag was quite rich. Ever since then, I told my daughter that if she were to fall in love again in the future, she would choose a man with an ordinary family background. Those who loved her enough could even marry into our family. Lu Cheng looked troubled. But Im my parents only son. Han Qianyes voice was very serious. We only have this daughter in our family. Lu Cheng: A certain audience member in the audience turned around and looked at Pei Jiao. Did you call her Mom just now? Pei Jiao, who was watching the show excitedly, heard the question from the audience in front of her and casually made up a story. I was picked up. The one above is her biological daughter. Audience: ??? On the stage, Li Xiwu tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips. In the next second, Han Qianye pulled her to her side. They were really like mother and daughter. Han Qianye held Li Xiwus hand and acted well. Its not that youre bad, but youre too good. My daughters first love was an entrepreneur, and she was abandoned by him. As a mother, my heart aches for my daughter, so I naturally dont want to see her take the same path again. As long as youre willing to marry into our family, I can consider letting you date my daughter. Before Lu Cheng could say anything, Han Qianye paused for a moment before continuing, The advantage of marrying into our family is that you dont have to work hard to start a business anymore. You can inherit our family assets. However, the child has to take my daughters surname. Lu Cheng felt insulted. Auntie, I think Han Qianye interrupted, Do you think its acceptable? Lu Cheng was about to explain, No Han Qianye said regretfully, It seems that you and my daughter are really not fated. With that, Han Qianye turned to look at Li Xiwu. A melon thats forcefully twisted wont be sweet. Dont eat him even if its dipped in sauce. Listen to Mom. You two are not fated to be together. Youre waiting for someone to inherit your family assets. Find someone who can inherit our family assets. Li Xiwu: Yu Qingye gulped when he heard this. With such conditions, what was the point of fighting? Yu Qingye couldnt help but raise his hand and ask weakly, Auntie, Auntie, I know how to run home in the rain. I know how to play with my smartphone and not pick up anything on the ground to eat. Look, am I a possible candidate? Chapter 38 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Everyone burst out laughing. The atmosphere also became lively from the seriousness of Han Qianyes rejection on behalf of her daughter. The male emotional analyst thought: Old Yu said what I wanted to say but didnt dare to say. The female emotional analyst thought: Auntie, can you relax your gender requirements a little? Dont get stuck like this? Han Qianye looked at Yu Qingye. Go away. Yu Qingye said, Okay. When he turned around, Yu Qingye thought to himself, If this episode is broadcasted, the number of people participating in the registration will definitely explode. And Li Xiwus prediction had been accurate. Not only would Han Qianye not mess up the show when she went on stage, but she would also inadvertently bring a lot of popularity to the show. In order to marry into the family, the registration number of the show might really explode after this episode. But this was very bad for Li Xiwu. Han Qianye wasnt the same as her. Although her face had been modified and her temperament had changed, it was difficult to avoid people from prying into her. She wanted to be invisible. In the end, it went viral on the blind date show. Li Xiwu was a little distressed, afraid that trouble would come knocking. On the other hand, Lu Chengs expression was more or less indescribable. He liked female guest number nine very much, but his own conditions were very good. He was the only son in the family. If he agreed to marry into the family, his parents would be furious. But Guest Number Nine really looked like Mrs. Pei. Back then, at a large business cocktail party, he was lucky enough to meet that big shot in the business world, Pei Jingzhou, and Mrs. Pei beside him. Mrs. Peis cold temperament made it difficult for people to look away. One look and he was infatuated for ten thousand years. Ever since then, she had been in his dreams. Tonight, he was supposed to deal with his parents coming to this blind date show. Unexpectedly, he met a female guest who was very similar to Mrs. Pei backstage. Apart from her temperament and dressing, she looked at least sixty to seventy percent like Mrs. Pei. Therefore, after Lu Cheng went on stage, all the attention and topics were blatantly placed on the ninth female guest. He wanted everyone to know that he was determined to get guest number nine. He was about to take her down. He was about to succeed in holding her hand. The true person was someone he could only dream of. It was not a bad idea to find a fake version. After all, she was really similar. Unexpectedly, a mother-in-law appeared out of nowhere. Not only did she want him to marry into the family, but even their future children had to take the surname of the woman! If she was the true person, he would be willing to take the surname of the woman, let alone marry into the family and have his child take the surname of the woman. Of course, this was his fantasy. But the other party was just a replica of the person he had been dreaming about. It wasnt worth the effort. And so, Lu Cheng expressed his regret and chose to give up. Im sorry, Auntie. I really cant fulfill your request. Han Qianye also expressed regretfully, Its fate. At this moment, the soft music of the stereo changed to a relatively low light music. Male guest number one regretfully left the venue. Han Qianye turned around and looked at Li Xiwu. She comforted him in a serious manner, Relationships are about fate. You two arent fated to be together. Isnt it also written in the literature of Zengguang? Sometimes, fate is necessary in life. Dont force it. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile and cooperated. Yes. The episode where Han Qianye went on stage was actually not a small episode. Instead, it added a lot of excitement to the show. Actually, this was not what Han Qianye had originally thought. In a fit of anger, she walked up valiantly. She had not thought of the consequences of doing so. There was only one very clear thought in her mind. Her son and Li Xiwu were not divorced yet. She could not let Li Xiwu be seduced by another pig in advance. She comforted herself only because she did not want her son to be cuckolded. Yes, thats right. Back offstage, Pei Jiao said excitedly, Mom, you were very stable just now. Yeah, I think so too. Han Qianye was in a good mood. She had just done something big. The recording of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show was not finished yet. How could she let Li Xiwu escape first? Fortunately, she was smart enough to stop her! Awesome! She gave herself a thumbs up! Pei Jiao chased after her and asked, Mom, are you planning to help Brother take that female guest number nine into his harem? Han Qianye was stunned. What harem? Pei Jiao said, Doesnt that female guest number nine look like Brothers first love? Han Qianye poked Pei Jiaos head with her finger. Your eyes are blurry! Look carefully. Shes your sister-in-law. Pei Jiao looked at the seat of the ninth female guest in the stands and then at Han Qianye. She was silent for a few seconds before saying calmly, Oh no, the joke went too far. Han Qianye said, Im not joking. Pei Jiao said, I said, my joke went too far. Han Qianye was puzzled. Huh? Pei Jiao was silent for a moment. Brother should be on his way here. Han Qianye was speechless. She thought about how her son cared about Li Xiwu. Afraid that she would be implicated, Han Qianye held Pei Jiaos hand. Its best to leave. Pei Jiao got up and followed. However, after taking two steps, Han Qianye suddenly let go of Pei Jiaos hand. No, Im afraid that after I leave, another male guest will confess to Li Xiwu. Leave by yourself and say that you didnt see me. Anyway, you called your brother over yourself. If anything happens, youll have to take the blame. Pei Jiao was speechless. However, compared to the risk of staying here, it was better for her to slip away first. On the stage. Li Xiwu glanced at Han Qianye and Pei Jiao from time to time. She thought that only Han Qianye was here, but she did not expect Pei Jiao to be here either. Somehow, when she saw Pei Jiao, she had a bad feeling. After that, Han Qianye was even more vigilant. She thought that as long as any male guest dared to confess to Li Xiwu again, she would go on stage just like before. Just as she was thinking this, someone sat down in the empty seat beside her. Han Qianye thought that Pei Jiao had returned. Why arent you running anymore? She didnt glance sideways at the person sitting down beside her as she asked the question. She did not hear Pei Jiao answer her for a while. Han Qianye turned around. Why arent you As she was speaking, Han Qianye raised her hand and pushed her sunglasses up. But after seeing who was sitting beside her, Han Qianye put down her sunglasses and swallowed her words. Pei Jingzhou looked straight at the stage and said coldly, Mrs. Pei, are you here to watch your daughter-in-law go on a blind date? After a moment of silence, he said, What a coincidence. Im also here to watch my wife go on a blind date. It should be very interesting. Han Qianye stood up calmly and prepared to leave. Pei Jingzhou sneered. Its not over yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave, Mrs. Pei? Han Qianye was speechless. The sequence had progressed to the third male guest. The third male guest was less good-looking and inferior to the first in all aspects. When the questions began, the third male guest asked three female questions in succession. Once again, there was Li Xiwu. When the male guest asked the first two female guests, Li Xiwu looked at the audience in boredom, wanting to see if Han Qianye had left. Could it be that Han Qianye would stay for as long as she recorded? Unexpectedly, when she glanced over, she was stunned! Chapter 39 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Female guest number nine. Female guest number nine? The host called her number nine twice before Li Xiwu came back to her senses. She wanted to see if Han Qianye had left, but she actually saw Pei Jingzhou! Was it a hallucination? Wasnt Pei Jiao originally sitting in that seat? How did it become Pei Jingzhou in the blink of an eye? It had to be an illusion. She ignored the host who called her twice and looked in the direction of the audience with uncertainty. The man was wearing a gray shirt and black pants. He sat there calmly, as if he had just come from a business trip. Even though the surroundings were noisy, he could not hide his elegance. He looked at her calmly, his lips curved, but his eyes were cold. This time, Li Xiwu was sure that this was not an illusion. The man sitting there was really Pei Jingzhou! The moment their eyes met, several hot entries floated into Li Xiwus mind: # Large-scale (divorced) blind date scene: live! # # Husband came to watch his wifes fancy blind date! # # Going out on a blind date behind her husbands back and getting caught! # Li Xiwu swallowed and silently wondered if she had spoken too loudly to Pei Jingzhou on the phone tonight Female guest number nine? Yu Qingye shouted for the third time. At this moment, everyone on and off the stage looked at the ninth female guest on the stage and wondered what was wrong with her. Why did the host shout her name three times in a row? Li Xiwu came back to her senses and looked at the host, Yu Qingye. She raised the microphone and said apologetically, Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Yu Qingye tried to smooth things over. I can tell. Guest number nine must be thinking about what to have for supper tonight. The audience roared with laughter. Male guest number three laughed too. Li Xiwu also replied, Yes. She looked calm and smiling, but she was actually extremely guilty because Pei Jingzhou was sitting below the stage. At this moment, the male guest even asked her a question that added fuel to the fire. The male guest asked, I want to know more about female guest number nine. What do you think about having a child as soon as possible after we get married? For once, Li Xiwu was nervous. Her grip on the receiver tightened repeatedly. Just just let nature take its course. Male guest number three said, Thats what I thought. Li Xiwu raised a very faint smile. Because of Pei Jingzhous sudden arrival, Li Xiwu, who had always been calm in the face of everything, could no longer be calm. Her hands were not her hands, and her feet were not her feet. Every move she made felt very uncomfortable. Han Qianyes mood was similar to Li Xiwus, uneasy and guilty. She looked at her son, who was sitting beside her, and scolded Pei Jiao, this silly girl, in her heart several times. The smile under Han Qianyes mask was dry. Son, that that, I remember that I still have something to do. I have to go home. Pei Jingzhou did not even look up. You havent seen your daughter-in-law hold someone elses hand with your own eyes. Are you sure you want to leave? Han Qianye said innocently, Son, if I say that Im here to get rid of your rivals, would you believe me? Pei Jingzhou was expressionless. Why wouldnt I? Han Qianye couldnt sit still anymore. She walked in a hurry. Half of the rivals have been ridden off. You can get rid of the rest yourself. Im going to do a full set of skincare tonight. Ill leave first. After saying this, Han Qianye quickly slipped away. On the stage. By the third round of questions, Li Xiwu was once again named by the male guest. Guest number three seemed to be quite interested in her. I want to know more about Guest number nine. Do you have any opinions on being a full-time wife after marriage? The question was not as difficult to answer as it had been for Li Xiwu. She tried not to look at Pei Jingzhou, who was under the stands, and adjusted her hand gesture to hold the microphone. Girls should have their own careers at all times. Of course, this doesnt mean that girls have to be strong. If two people are married because they love each other, then they should maintain their pre-marriage status even more after marriage. Both parties have careers. They shouldnt be too clingy to each other. When they are close, they should warm each other up. When they are apart, they should be kings. She did not directly say that she disapproved of being a full-time wife. But the meaning of the words had been outlined. The male guest expressed his thoughts. I think girls should be used to be protected innately. Theres no need to be too strong. Its best to rely on men more usually. I like this sense of accomplishment and it will give her a sense of security. There were already female guests who agreed with the male guest. Girls should be weak and dependent. Only then would they be happy. Girls who were too dominant were never happy. Li Xiwu smiled and leaned forward with the microphone in her hand, but she placed her arm on the pillar in front of her and looked straight at guest number three. My point is that girls should have their own careers. I didnt say that women have to be strong. Also, all girls are human, not objects. They shouldnt be described with the word used. Please watch your words, guest number three. Guest number three felt a little embarrassed. I just think that when both parties are in love, if the woman goes to work, and the couple spend more time apart than together, it will slowly fade away the originally good relationship. Compared to the rational explanation of guest number three, Li Xiwu replied bluntly, I dont agree with you, guest number three. Male guest number three paused. The host wanted to stop the conversation at the right moment. This was a dating show, not a boy-girl rivalry show. However, seeing that the two emotional analysts did not speak, Yu Qingye could only control his mouth first. Li Xiwu did not want to attract too much attention. She could have answered casually and perfunctorily, but it just so happened that the question of the third male guest really happened in her life. She had also tried to save it. Compared to before, her tone was calm and steady. Whether youre a full-time wife or not, attached or not attached, someone will regret it. Neither man or woman is an Aladdin. They cant completely satisfy the others wishes and thoughts. Dont try to reverse the others worldview to what you think is right. Male guest number three was at a loss for words and smiled awkwardly. The conversation ended. There was a small round of applause from the audience. Some agreed with guest number nine, while others disagreed. She didnt need everyones approval in the first place. No one was born the same when it came to opinions. What everyone was looking for was resonance, not a few empty words. The third male guest did not ask Li Xiwu any more questions. The other female guests had probably been influenced by Li Xiwus point of view. They had wanted to leave the lights on, but in the end, they all went out. In the end, the third male guest could only leave regretfully. Li Xiwu breathed a little easier. Fortunately, the first male guest had already left when Pei Jingzhou arrived. Otherwise, that scene There would be moral constraints when it came to openly cheating. She was definitely not as immoral as Pei Jingzhou. Even if she wanted to make Pei Jingzhou a cuckold, she would do it behind his back. That way, morality would not restrain her. Chapter 40 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Tonight, the female guest number nine was frequently questioned by two male guests. She was even confessed to by one of the male guests. After that, there was a surprise segment where the mother-in-law appeared to object. The recording process was exciting. Li Xiwu was very worried. After all, she had the face of someone who had just been on an in-law variety show. She just hoped that she wouldnt get herself into too much trouble after the show aired. When the fourth male guest went on stage, Li Xiwu noticed that Pei Jingzhou was no longer in the audience. Not only was Pei Jingzhou not here, but even Han Qianye was not in the audience. Theyre gone? Thats great! It didnt matter if Han Qianye was around, but she would feel very uncomfortable with Pei Jingzhou around. Now that he was gone, she could be at ease for the rest of the recording. There were a total of five male blind date guests tonight. In the end, only two were lucky enough to hold hands. The moment the recording ended, Li Xiwu heaved a sigh of relief. She only had time to look at her phone when she reached the backstage. She opened several WeChat messages from Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao: [Did the recording go well?] Qiao Qiao: [I just saw the chat in the group chat. Babe, youre really something. You charmed the first male guest.] Qiao Qiao: [The group also said that you took your mother to hold the fort? Which mother?] Li Xiwu couldnt be bothered to type a reply. She called Qiao Qiao directly. Qiao Qiao picked it up. The first thing she asked was the last sentence on WeChat. Where did you get a mother to go to the scene? Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. Where do you think I can get a mother? On the other end of the line, Qiao Qiao was silent for a few seconds. Its not that old kerosene barrel, is it? Li Xiwu said, Remove the word not. Qiao Qiao was quiet. The small details of what had happened at the recording site were too long and cumbersome to explain. Li Xiwu spoke frankly and only picked the key points that Qiao Qiao wanted to know. After listening, Qiao Qiao was stunned. So, not only did the old kerosene barrel go to the blind date show, but her daughter and son also went to the blind date show! Li Xiwu remained calm. Yes. Qiao Qiao was not calm. Damn! Doesnt that mean your husband, your mother-in-law, and your sister-in-law were there to watch you go on a blind date? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. I wont help you like this again. No, no, no! Qiao Qiao tried to suppress a smile. Human joys and sorrows are not interlinked. I was wrong. Li Xiwu snorted. No sorrow, only joy. Not necessarily. Qiao Qiao pouted again. Can you get out of bed tomorrow? Oh no, with Pei Jingzhous ability, can you get out of bed for the next three days? Li Xiwu: Although Qiao Qiao did have a loose tongue, all her reminders seemed to be on point. Its over. Li Xiwus legs were starting to go weak before she even got home, but she still said stubbornly, I did it for you. I can just explain the situation. Its not as scary as you think. Qiao Qiao said, Amitabha. I hope so. Li Xiwu hung up the phone. She walked forward on her high heels, ready to hail a taxi back to Lake Lu. As she walked, someone suddenly stopped her. Miss Qiao. Li Xiwu looked up and recognized him, but he was not surprised. Mr. Lu, you havent returned home yet? Not yet. I was waiting for you. It was Lu Cheng. He was holding an unopened cup of milk tea. It went without saying who the milk tea was for. Not long ago, on the stage, Lu Cheng was unwilling to marry into the family and had no fate with the ninth female guest. In the end, he left regretfully. After leaving the stage, he felt indignant after thinking about it. After knowing that there had been male guests waiting for female guests backstage in the past and asking for their contact details in private, Lu Cheng shamelessly went to buy a cup of milk tea and came over to wait for a few hours. Finally, the recording ended. He saw the number nine female guest who had moved him come out. Lu Cheng said in a gentlemanly tone, Miss Qiao, Im sorry to disturb you. Li Xiwu said, It is a little presumptuous. Lu Cheng was speechless for two seconds. He sobered. I know what Im doing might put you off, but my liking for you is genuine. Even if I dont get the chance to stop seeing you, I want to be your friend. Anyway, most relationships between men and women started from friends. They would become friends first, and then he would tease her. With his charm and sultry methods, it wouldnt be long before he took down Miss Qiao. Lu Cheng was very confident about this. Li Xiwu saw the other partys determined expression and suppressed the corners of her lips. Isnt this not too good? Lu Cheng took out his phone and opened the WeChat business card QR code. He said sincerely, Im just adding you on WeChat. I want to treat you to a meal when I have time. Li Xiwu stopped beating around the bush and rejected him decisively. Thank you, Mr. Lu. However, my family is stricter. Mom doesnt allow me to add friends outside. Lu Cheng smiled. Is Miss Qiaos reason for rejecting me so refreshing? Yes, Li Xiwu replied smoothly. Im a mamas girl. Lu Cheng: At this moment, someone walked over from the side and asked in surprise, Mr. Lu? Lu Cheng looked at the woman walking towards him. You are? The woman looked disappointed. Im the female guest who confessed to you tonight. My name is Li Luo. There were five female guests who confessed, but Lu Chengs heart was filled with the number nine female guest, Qiao Qiao. He had no impression of Li Luo at all. He asked distantly, Do you need something? Of course. Li Luo glanced at Li Xiwu, her eyes full of provocation. Ever since Lu Cheng rejected her and insisted on confessing to Li Xiwu, she had disliked Li Xiwu very much. When she came out and saw that male guest number one had not left, she was overjoyed. When she got closer and heard their conversation, she realized that he was waiting for the ambitious female guest number nine. Li Luo was furious and immediately walked over. Male guest number one was really infatuated. He had not left even after the show ended. Taking advantage of this moment, Li Luo reminded Lu Cheng in a strange tone, Mr. Lu, actually, number nine didnt look like this before. Lu Cheng was surprised. What do you mean? Li Xiwu saw Li Luo throw her a provocative smile. She ignored her and walked away. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw a familiar black car parked at the bottom of the steps, as if it was waiting for her. Hey, Miss Qiao Lu Cheng wanted to go forward, but Li Luo stopped him. Mr. Lu, shes feeling guilty. She just had plastic surgery. Now that Ive exposed her, shes ashamed. Lu Cheng pried Li Luos hand away. How is that possible? Miss Qiao didnt undergo plastic surgery. Im serious! Li Luo said firmly, Mr. Lu, if you dont believe me, Ill show you our group chat. Its all about the hospital where she had plastic surgery. She even shared it herself. Lu Cheng did not believe it at first, until Li Luo showed Lu Cheng the chat history of Qiao Qiaos plastic surgery hospital. Chapter 41 - 41 Husband and Wife 41 Husband and Wife Qiao Qiao: [Sisters, remember to mention the name Qiao Qiao when you go to the plastic surgery hospital you want me to share. Ill give you a 20% discount.] Qiao Qiao: [I only asked the plastic surgery hospital manager for a 20% discount after using all my spit. Remember to tell him my name when you go!] Qiao Qiao: [If theres no 20% discount, then you must not have mentioned my name. Dont blame me!] These were three consecutive WeChat messages from Qiao Qiao in the group. Many people were replying to Qiao Qiao: [Its true sisters to share good plastic surgery hospitals.], [20% discount. Why dont we form a team?], [Qiao Qiao, Ill ask you out another day. Can you take me there?] The replies went on and on. Li Luo saw Lu Chengs expression change drastically and added fuel to the fire. Mr. Lu, Im not lying to you, right? Qiao Qiao has a plastic face. She didnt look like this in the past. Now, Lu Cheng had no choice but to believe it! This woman who looked like Mrs. Pei actually had a plastic face. He should have known. A fairy like Mrs. Pei was rare in a hundred years. How could he easily meet someone who looked similar to her? It turns out she had actually undergone plastic surgery. At the thought that he had been deceived by this plastic face, Lu Cheng was very angry. He stuffed the milk tea into Li Luos hands and went forward to grab Li Xiwus arm. You used all kinds of reasons to reject me on stage. I thought you were so lofty and cold. But it turns out you had a plastic surgery face. Its fine if you had plastic surgery, but you even did it according to her face. Why are you so disgusting! Li Xiwu, who had been harassed and scolded for no reason, looked at Lu Cheng in confusion. Im disgusting? At close range, Lu Cheng looked at those beautiful eyes and his heart palpitated again. However, when he thought that these eyes should have been modified, he immediately looked disgusted. Whats there to be proud of with your plastic surgery face? Its really disgusting. Li Xiwu smiled. May I ask which eye I disgust you with, Mr. Lu? Your left eye or your right eye? I have a familiar hospital here. Do I need to help you contact the hospital to remove your eye that was disgusted? Lu Cheng was stunned. Li Luo, who was watching the show, walked over. Qiao Qiao, Mr. Lu is very sincere to you, but you dont appreciate it and even brought your mother to humiliate him on stage. I cant stand it anymore. Li Xiwu narrowed her eyes. If you cant stand it, dont continue watching. Dont abuse your eyes. Li Luo choked and was about to say something. Then a man walked towards her. This mans appearance immediately diverted Li Luos attention. Her eyes widened slightly, and her heart raced. What a handsome man! How could there be such a handsome man? All the male celebrities in the movies paled in comparison to this man. Besides, he seemed to be walking towards her? Is this real? He was really walking towards her! Li Luo could no longer hide her excitement. Just as she was prepared to welcome the man, she saw the man standing in front of the Plastic Face! Li Luo: It was Plastic Face again! This Plastic Face was really a vixen. Li Luo was furious and was about to step forward when she saw Mr. Lu walk forward faster than her and address him in a very respectful tone, Mr. Pei. Pei Jingzhou glanced at Lu Cheng coldly. Lu Cheng did not expect to see Mr. Pei here in person. He was very excited. Thinking back, the last time he saw Pei Jingzhou in person was at a large business cocktail party. He had to fight tooth and nail to get a spot to go to that large cocktail party. It was also at that cocktail party that he not only saw Pei Jingzhou in person, but also saw Mrs. Pei, that woman who was as beautiful as a fairy. And tonight, he saw Pei Jingzhou in person again, and it was at such a close distance. This was too flattering for Lu Cheng. Lu Cheng knew that he was not qualified to shake Pei Jingzhous hand, but this was a rare opportunity. He bent down and extended his hand respectfully. Mr. Pei, Ive heard a lot about you. Its my greatest honor to meet you. Lu Cheng was not in the mood to investigate why Pei Jingzhou was here. He had to take this opportunity to speak to Pei Jingzhou. Even if it was just a few words, it was enough for him to brag to his friends for a long time. Pei Jingzhou looked at Lu Cheng. Is it your greatest honor to see me? Lu Cheng nodded quickly. Yes, Mr. Pei. My name is Lu Cheng. Im from United Technology Before Lu Cheng could finish introducing himself, Pei Jingzhous thin lips curled into a cold smile. Since its your greatest honor to see me, what about meeting Mrs. Pei? Lu Cheng was stunned. Meeting Mrs. Pei? Could it be that Mrs. Pei was here too? He craned his neck to look behind Pei Jingzhou. It had been several months since the last cocktail party. At that time, he had a glimpse of Mrs. Peis cold appearance and could not forget her. Lu Cheng looked around a few times but did not see Mrs. Pei. He could only ask, Mr. Pei, is Mrs. Pei here too? Pei Jingzhous voice deepened. Isnt she behind you? Lu Cheng: He turned back slowly. Li Xiwu looked at Lu Chengs frightened expression and raised her lips. Mr. Lu, your eyes are indeed not very good. I suggest that you take off both your eyes. When you cant see in the future, you can only rely on your nonsense to strive. Lu Chengs eyes widened in shock. You, you, you are Mrs. Pei? He repeated the word you several times before he finished his sentence. He was clearly shocked and in a state of disbelief! Didnt this woman have plastic surgery? Wasnt she here to participate in the blind date show? How did she become Mrs. Pei?! No, no! He must have opened this the wrong way. But the truth slapped him twice. He heard Mr. Pei ask Miss Qiao, Are you done playing? His voice was slightly cold and deep, and there was also a hint of anger and helplessness. Li Xiwu looked up at Pei Jingzhou and replied indifferently, Its alright. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Go home when youre done playing. Li Xiwu did not respond. She was recalling a similar sentence that Pei Jingzhou had said to her not long ago: Remember to come home when youre done playing. Not far away, Li Luo was dumbfounded. She was standing a little further away and could not hear their conversation clearly. She took a few steps forward and saw that Mr. Lus face and lips were pale. Her heart was pounding. What happened? What did they say to be so frightened! Li Luo looked at the handsome man again. When she looked at the handsome man talking to Plastic Face as if no one was around, she sighed at how brilliant this Plastic Face was. First, there was Mr. Lu, who was already so outstanding that he was comparable to a top-notch man. Now, there was another top-notch handsome man. From the looks of it, he was quite prestigious! Li Luo went forward indignantly. Sir The moment Pei Jingzhou looked over, Li Luos heart raced. Sir, may I ask what your relationship is? Pei Jingzhou was expressionless. Husband and wife. Chapter 42 - 42 Mr. Pei Is Very Considerate 42 Mr. Pei Is Very Considerate Li Luo was stunned. Her first reaction was to suspect that there was something wrong with her hearing. H-Husband and wife? This handsome man was actually the husband of Plastic Face?! How was that possible? That was obviously impossible! At this moment, Pei Jingzhous gaze landed on Lu Cheng. United Technology? Lu Chengs face turned green and his lips turned pale. He explained in fear and trepidation, Im sorry, Mr. Pei. I was blind and didnt recognize Mrs. Pei. Pei Jingzhous voice was cold. My wife is just bored and came to the show to play. Lu Cheng came to a realization and smiled apologetically. Oh, yes, I see. Pei Jingzhou said, Are you apologizing to me? Lu Cheng: Lu Cheng immediately understood what Pei Jingzhou meant. He turned to look at the woman beside Pei Jingzhou. He must have been so blind that he did not recognize her! At the thought of what he had said to Mrs. Pei just now, Lu Cheng wanted to slap himself. However, he never expected Mr. Pei to let his wife go on a blind date show in order to make her happy. After the recording ended, he even came to pick her up personally. Lu Cheng maintained an apologetic smile on his face and said to Li Xiwu guiltily, Im sorry, Mrs. Pei. I was blind to have offended you just now. Ill definitely go to the hospital to treat my eye disease. Li Xiwu raised her lips. Mr. Lu is really interesting. Lu Cheng knew Pei Jingzhous status and dignity. With a word, his newly developed company might be in danger. After all, he had offended Mrs. Pei. He had to calm her down. Hence, Lu Cheng bowed. Im sorry, Mrs. Pei. He apologized sincerely. Li Luo was dumbfounded. This Mr. Lu, who had started his own business at such a young age and would rather regret leaving than lower his status and marry into the family, was actually apologizing to female guest number nine at this moment?! If she hadnt been standing here, she wouldnt have believed that this was really happening in front of her. Although there was no rule about shills being single, she really did not expect this female guest number nine to not only be married, but also have a handsome husband. Looking at Mr. Lus sincere apology, this female guest number nines husband seemed to have a powerful background. Li Xiwu was not an arrogant person. She had received the apology she deserved and would not make things difficult for the other party. Moreover, Pei Jingzhou had helped her this time, so she could not use her status to show off. She looked at Pei Jingzhou. Lets go home first. With that, she left without waiting for Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou smiled and glanced at Lu Cheng. Lu Cheng immediately smiled respectfully. Pei Jingzhou sneered and turned to leave. Lu Cheng watched as Mr. and Mrs. Pei got into the car. He only heaved a sigh of relief when the car drove away and disappeared. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He thought with fear that there was nothing worse than tonight. Turning around, Lu Chengs face darkened when he saw that Li Luo was still standing at the side. Ive really been harmed by you. Li Luo was very innocent. But she really had plastic surgery. Lu Cheng: Shes Li Luo said, Shes what? Thinking of Pei Jingzhous identity, Lu Cheng did not dare to say anything. If word got out of his mouth, trouble would come looking for him. Im going to file a complaint against you, you shill. With that, Lu Cheng turned around and left. Li Luo wanted to cry. What? Why are you complaining about me? Is it easy for me to come out and make a living?! Lu Cheng said, You almost made me unable to make a living for the rest of my life. Who else can I complain about but you? Li Luo: C In the car driving back to Lake Lu. Li Xiwu had not spoken since she got into the car. She looked at her phone quietly. She was definitely feeling guilty. Pei Jingzhou had yet to settle the score with her. But before settling the score, she told herself not to show panic. She had to sit still when it came to the aura. It had been quiet in the car for too long. The atmosphere frightened the driver. He wondered if this was a prelude to a storm. It seemed that he had to speed up and drive back to Lake Lu. Li Xiwu also expected to maintain this atmosphere as they returned to Lake Lu. Until Pei Jingzhou reached over and took her phone away. Im not as good-looking as a phone? Li Xiwu looked up at Pei Jingzhou and calmed herself down. Fourth Brother looks good. That was nice to hear. Pei Jingzhous eyes softened a little as he looked down at her. Youve played the rules of the entire place tonight. Havent you had enough? Li Xiwu bit her lower lip lightly. Who said I had enough? Youre quite bold, he snorted coldly. Li Xiwu smiled. Mr. Pei emboldened it. It was Mr. Pei again. Pei Jingzhou frowned unhappily and looked at Li Xiwu, who was squinting and smiling like a charming little fox. The former was clearly in a fit of anger, but the latter inadvertently hooked the formers soul inside and out with a few words. This time, his anger was nowhere. She reached out. Give me the phone. Her phone was still in Pei Jingzhous hand. She was texting Ji Weiling. Pei Jingzhou did not give her the phone. His slender fingers pointed at the seat beside him. Sit closer. Li Xiwu obediently moved closer to him. When she was close, he reached out and wrapped his long arm around her shoulder. His fingertips touched the warm skin of her neck and he thought of the cold air in the studio. He looked ahead. Turn up the temperature. The driver quickly replied, Okay, Mr. Pei. The appropriate temperature would make people feel comfortable. Li Xiwu looked up at the man beside her. Fourth Brother is very considerate. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Arent you going to give me an explanation for what happened tonight? Li Xiwu smiled. If I give you an explanation, you wont pursue the matter? Pei Jingzhou said, As if I wont pursue the matter. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Then I wont say anything. Pei Jingzhou deliberately put on a stern tone. Who did you learn your temper from? Li Xiwu said, I was influenced by Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou: She was usually very obedient and occasionally contradicted him verbally, but he was very indulgent. It could be said that he had never been angry with her in the past three years, let alone throw a tantrum at her. Of course, this might be because Pei Jingzhou had a good temper. At least, that was what Li Xiwu thought. However, she had been contradicting him too often recently. Li Xiwu was still worried that she would be unlucky, so she honestly explained why she went to the blind date show. After Pei Jingzhou heard this, he just said, Dont do it again. Li Xiwu said, This show is quite profitable. The salary is 380 yuan a night. Although she hadnt taken a single cent of the money as it had all gone into Qiao Qiaos pocket. Money again. Li Xiwu knew that something was wrong. She had mentioned money in front of Pei Jingzhou many times. Pei Jingzhou had not taken it seriously before. But if he investigated carefully and found out about her deal with Han Qianye, it would be over. Back at Lake Lu. The two of them took the elevator upstairs. Li Xiwu was ready before she entered. She knew there was no escape tonight. However, after returning home, Pei Jingzhou put down his jacket and opened the fridge to take a box of biscuits. He handed it to Li Xiwu. Eat some biscuits to fill your stomach first. After giving her the biscuits, he went into the kitchen. He looked ready to make dinner. This was not Pei Jingzhous first time cooking at home, so Li Xiwu was not surprised. However, Li Xiwu was surprised to think that he would cook personally at this late hour. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou came out of the kitchen and asked her, What do you want to eat? Li Xiwu was stunned. Huh? Pei Jingzhou said, Didnt you say at the show that you wanted supper when you got home? Chapter 43 - 43 Photo of The First Love 43 Photo of The First Love She said at the show that she wanted to have supper when she got home? Li Xiwu was pretty sure she hadnt said that. But The director had said that. At that time, she had picked it up casually. The director had only said that because she had been distracted. Li Xiwu was a little surprised, but she also confessed, I followed the directors words at that time. I had dinner before the recording. Im not hungry now. Pei Jingzhou said, I didnt eat. Li Xiwu: She thought that he was really worried that she was hungry, so he remembered her casual response on the stage. Indeed, she was thinking too much. Before Pei Jingzhou entered the kitchen again, he reminded her, Take off your makeup first. Li Xiwu remembered that she had specially put on a little smoky makeup before going on stage tonight. She was quite satisfied with the makeup. After all, such makeup was not usually needed. It was rare to put on makeup. Instead of going, Li Xiwu asked, Doesnt this makeup look good? Pei Jingzhou said, It looks good. Li Xiwu said, Then why remove it? Pei Jingzhou clicked his tongue. Its an eyesore. So many eyes have seen it. It doesnt matter if its for a while more. Cant I remove it before I sleep? she said. Pei Jingzhou said, Up to you. With that, he turned and went into the kitchen. Li Xiwu was in a good mood. She realized that she liked to go against Pei Jing more and more. If this continued, it would probably not be long before the divorce was successful. She could also get Han Qianyes 400 million. It was beautiful to think about. She went to sit on the sofa and turned on the television. She found a recent popular drama and opened the box of biscuits Pei Jingzhou had given her. She was relaxed and content. Ten minutes later, Pei Jingzhous voice came from the kitchen. Li Xiwu, come in. Li Xiwu put down the small biscuit box and stepped into the kitchen. Yes? There were two bowls of hot dried noodles on the kitchen counter. Pei Jingzhou asked her to bring one out. Li Xiwu touched the bowl and retracted her hand. Its too hot. Pei Jingzhou looked at her. The bowl is insulated. That bowl is yours too. Li Xiwu smiled. I didnt say I wanted to eat. Pei Jingzhou laughed angrily. Li Xiwu, you can be more spoiled. Sure. Li Xiwu pointed at the two bowls of hot dried noodles and said in an arrogant tone, You, bring these two bowls of noodles out. Pei Jingzhou: Li Xiwu wanted to continue to go against Pei Jingzhous words and annoy him. She wanted to annoy him. As she thought this, her waist was suddenly grabbed. Before she could react, Pei Jingzhou took off her clothes. Li Xiwu pressed his hand down. This is the kitchen. Pei Jingzhous expression was dark. Since you dont want to eat noodles, Ill eat you. Right here. Its not the first time anyway. Li Xiwus neck heated up as fragmented images flashed through her mind. After being married to Pei Jingzhou for three years, she knew a lot about him. He did not mess around easily. However, once he messed around, this 400 square meter flat would be considered small. She was afraid that he would really mess around. Li Xiwu softened. Ill eat. Pei Jingzhou snorted. As expected, you havent eaten dinner. You dont even have the strength to speak. Li Xiwu: There was nothing wrong with giving in. At least, Pei Jingzhou did not mess around again. After eating the noodles, Li Xiwu stopped watching television. She picked up her phone and opened WeChat. She continued to pester the D perfume brand and strived to successfully get this endorsement for Ji Weiling before President Qi gave her an ultimatum. It was impossible for her to give up Ji Weiling. Ji Weiling was her child. Her career was rising now, and it was the time when resources were advancing from all sides, she had to stabilize Ji Weilings follow-up resources. As long as Ji Weiling became a B-list female artist before next spring, her position in the company would stabilize. Pei Jingzhou was also busy. He took two calls in a row. By then, the clock on the wall was pointing at eleven. After Pei Jingzhou finished his work, he saw that Li Xiwu had yet to return to her room. She was sitting there and sending a voice message. She was patient and full of flattery. He could tell that the other party was from a big brand. Otherwise, her attitude would not be so good. He walked over and called to her in a low voice, Li Xiwu, go to sleep. Li Xiwu didnt turn around. You sleep first. Pei Jingzhou leaned over and took her phone away. Look at the time yourself. Li Xiwu noticed the time on the wall clock. Its only eleven. Pei Jingzhou: Only? Li Xiwu was not someone who would lose her temper easily. Even if Pei Jingzhou snatched her phone, she would not be angry easily. She stood up and looked at him. In a negotiating tone, she said, Is an hour okay? I still have to wake up early to meet the brand tomorrow. Actually, they were done chatting. She had just sent the brand a see you tomorrow emoji when Pei Jingzhou took her phone away. Pei Jingzhou turned around and entered the bedroom. It depends on your performance. Their bedroom was very big, about 70 square meters. Li Xiwus cloakroom took up a lot of space. There was also a large balcony outside. The display and furnishings were all done according to Li Xiwus preference. Pei Jingzhou never asked about this. Even if she changed into pink sheets, he would still sleep in it. To accommodate her like this, it had to be because of her face. He would not be angry when he looked at her face. Actually, sometimes, Li Xiwu really wanted to see his first loves photo. She wanted to see how similar the two of them looked to make Pei Jingzhou love her so much The next day. The sunlight penetrated the fish tank by the window like a faint golden aurora falling on the marble tiles beside it. Li Xiwu got out of bed and looked at the well-dressed man who was about to leave. Pei Jingzhou, are you still human? They had agreed to see how she performed. She had performed so well last night, but he had still eaten her up. They say men cant be trusted in bed. They couldnt be trusted under the bed either. Pei Jingzhous expression showed that he was in a good mood. He put on his expensive wristwatch and reminded her calmly, I am, and Im your man. Li Xiwu: She had just woken up when Pei Jingzhou was already preparing to leave. She dragged her sore body to the bathroom. When she came out, she thought that Pei Jingzhou had already left, but he was still standing there. She ignored his presence and turned to the cloakroom to change. After coming out, Pei Jingzhou was still standing there. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you done? Li Xiwu was puzzled. Is Fourth Brother waiting for me? Pei Jingzhou said, What else? Li Xiwu thought of her slow speed just now. You didnt rush me when I was so slow. Fourth Brother is quite a gentleman. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Its not your fault for being slow. Its my fault. Li Xiwu, who recalled last night: Finally, Li Xiwu followed Pei Jingzhou out. He took her to breakfast. This time they went to a different restaurant and ordered Cantonese morning tea, as usual. After that, Pei Jingzhou asked the driver to send her to the company. Before he left, he reminded her, Go home tonight. His special reminder always made Li Xiwu feel like a streetwalker who did not like to go home, and Pei Jingzhou was her worried father. Chapter 44 - 44 Li Xiwu was Alone Outside the Delivery Room 44 Li Xiwu was Alone Outside the Delivery Room The morning weather was fine. Li Xiwu stayed in the company for a while before driving Ji Weiling to meet the general manager of D Perfume Asia Pacific. In the car. Ji Weiling was very nervous. Miss Li, do you think D Perfume can really sign me? Im not that influential yet. Im afraid this trip will be in vain Li Xiwu smiled. You dont trust me? Ji Weiling wiped the sweat from her palms with a tissue. The influence of the D perfume brand in the country is obvious. The last show I aired wasnt so popular that I could take on the endorsement of D Perfume, so Im worried. Li Xiwu saw that Ji Weilings tissue had already been crumpled into a ball. She took out a new bag of tissues from her bag, opened it, and handed it to Ji Weiling. People always say that you have to know your limits, but there are actually very few people who know their limits. They often think that they are competent, capable, and able. Although confidence might be a joke sometimes, they are often the key to success. It was not Li Xiwus style to not fight or snatch. Otherwise, she wouldnt have made Xie Wen famous back then. Li Xiwu reminded Ji Weiling, In the entertainment industry, unless youre lucky enough to be chased by the heavens to feed you, you wont have a meal if you dont fight for it. You have to be more confident, especially in front of the brand manager later. You have to make the brand think that youll definitely become famous and make them realize that it wont be you who climb up the ladder of D perfume, but D perfume. Ji Weiling was enlightened. I understand. C The person in charge of D Perfumes Asia-Pacific region was called Ren Jia. Li Xiwu and Ji Weiling arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, but they waited for nearly an hour before seeing Ren Jia appear. Li Xiwu stood up and extended her hand politely. Manager Ren, nice to meet you. Ren Jia reached out her hand. Miss Li, sorry to keep you waiting. Li Xiwu smiled and thoughtfully pulled out a seat for Ren Jia. Ren Jia sat down. It was easier to cross her legs in her pants. She looked up at Li Xiwu opposite her, then up at Ji Weiling. Then, she carefully sized up Ji Weilings facial features and concluded, Compared to the previous Xie Wen, Miss Jis facial features are still a little limited. Ji Weilings lips pursed into a straight line. Beside her, Li Xiwu said with a smile, Manager Ren, do you have any good suggestions? Ren Jia said bluntly, Miss Jis face is very suitable for ancient dressing, but shes not that stunning in modern dramas. I suggest that you adjust it slightly. Make her double eyelids deeper and open the corners of her eyes a little more. Her face would look much more classy when it was more suitable towards both ancient and modern times. In short, Ji Weilings face was not classy enough. Li Xiwu agreed. Manager Rens suggestion is very good, but our Weiling looks are born for ancient costumes. By the way, let me share some good news with Manager Ren. Weilings current drama has been bought by Wind Platform. Ren Jia smiled faintly. Isnt it still filming? This chat was a game of Taiji. It depended on whose Taiji was better. Li Xiwu followed Ren Jias words. A while ago, Weiling just won the Best Supporting Actress Award from Wind Platform. Wind Platform thinks very highly of Weiling. I can say that Weiling is now the biological daughter of Wind Platform. With Wind Platform as her backer, why is Manager Ren worried that she wont be popular for long? Not at all. Ive always thought highly of Miss Ji. Ren Jia smiled calmly. But she thought to herself that this manager was really capable. After that, Ren Jia told the two of them about the development of the brand over the years. She also asked some self-planning questions about Ji Weiling. With Li Xiwus encouragement previously, Ji Weiling was very confident and generous when facing Ren Jias question. Even if she didnt know anything, she dared to answer. Even if Ren Jia suddenly spoke English, she would answer in awkward English. There was no stage fright. She dealt with it confidently. Ren Jia was quite satisfied. She looked at Li Xiwu meaningfully. As expected of an artist taught by Miss Li. The previous outstanding artist, Xie Wen, left a deep impression on me. Li Xiwu said politely, Manager Ren, you flatter me. Ren Jiayao said meaningfully, Its just that its a pity about Xie Wen. Li Xiwu smiled and did not reply. After successfully taking down the endorsement of D Perfume, Ji Weiling felt like she was in a dream. However, she remembered Li Xiwus reminder not to reveal too childish a flaw in front of Manager Ren. She held it in until she returned to the filming set to vent her emotions. Ji Weiling hugged Li Xiwu excitedly, and there was obvious crying in her voice. Miss Li, ever since I found out that you signed a new artist, Ive often thought about many things. Im afraid that Ill lose my resources, that I wont have any scenes to film, and even more afraid that youll abandon me. Li Xiwu smiled and pushed her away. Are you still afraid now? Ji Weiling told the truth. Im still afraid. Actually, I heard that Xue Jinzhu has a sugar daddy behind her. Most of the resources in your hands should be leaning on her. Li Xiwu said, To be precise, it definitely will. Ji Weilings eyes were misty. Then I Li Xiwu said, Do you want to ask what youre going to do? Ji Weiling nodded. Li Xiwu felt like a mother, coaxing her daughter not to cry. Weiling, you cant rely on anyone. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. I can fight for you this time, but there might not be a next time. You have to work hard and try to throw your results in President Qis face before spring next year. Ji Weiling nodded vigorously. Ill definitely work hard. There wasnt much comfort. Ji Weiling could balance her emotions very well. Li Xiwu instructed her assistant, Yuanyuan, on some matters. After watching Ji Weiling and Yuanyuan enter the set, she prepared to return to the company. She had only taken two steps when someone behind her stopped her Miss Li. Li Xiwu froze for a few seconds at the familiar voice. She looked back. It was Xie Wen. Xie Wen was probably here to visit Chi Xu. She was still holding her daughter in her arms. Li Xiwu fell into a daze as she recalled that the last time she had seen Xie Wen in person was on the day she gave birth, more than five months ago. That day, Chi Xu was filming on set and could not leave. Zheng Yuehua could not make it in time since she was playing mahjong. Xie Wen had disappointed her parents since she was pregnant and gave up her career. Ever since then, she had cut off contact with her family, so she did not inform her parents on the day of delivery. Li Xiwu received the call and rushed over. At that time, she was alone outside the delivery room. Fortunately, Xie Wen and her daughter were safe. She also became the first person to see Xie Wens daughter. She also saw how haggard Xie Wen looked when she was pushed out of the delivery room. At this moment, Xie Wen carried her daughter over and greeted Li Xiwu. Miss Li, what a coincidence. Li Xiwu came back to her senses and asked, Are you here to visit Chi Xu? Xie Wen nodded. Theres no live broadcast today. So I brought Shenshen to the production team to see her father. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Not bad. Xiao Shenshen, who was in Xie Wens arms, snorted a few times. Xie Wen coaxed her gently and patted Shenshens back with her palm. Good girl. Li Xiwu looked at Xie Wens tired face and knew that some words were meaningless. I still have something on. Ill leave first. When she turned around, Xie Wen stopped her. Miss Li. Li Xiwu didnt turn around, but she didnt leave either. Xie Wens voice came from behind. Miss Li, I have something to tell you. Chapter 45 - 45 Four Groups of Mother 45 Four Groups of Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Gathered Li Xiwu didnt turn. Her back was facing Xie Wen. When she spoke again, her voice was slightly distant. If you want to vent your grievances, then theres no need to say it. You chose this path yourself back then. No matter how difficult it is, you have to move forward. Xie Wen wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she could only watch Li Xiwu leave. Shenshen, who was in her arms, began to fuss again. Xie Wen coaxed her tiredly, Shenshen, dont cry After coaxing her daughter for a long time, she still couldnt stop crying. Xie Wen freed one hand to search for her phone in her mummy bag, preparing to call a taxi home. The bag was full of baby supplies, diapers, milk powder, milk bottles, toys, and small lunch boxes. There was almost nothing of her own. The phone had sunk to the bottom of the bag as she tossed and turned. Her arms ached. But her daughter in her arms kept crying. There was no place to sit around. Xie Wen was close to breaking down. She could only squat down and place her daughter carefully on her lap before searching for her phone in her mummy bag. The phone that was inseparable with her in the past was nowhere to be found. She could not casually take out the baby supplies and put them on the ground. She could only give up first and put on a mask to hail a taxi back. She was about to get up when someone squatted down beside her. That person reached over and took Xie Wens mummy bag. Xie Wen looked up and saw Li Xiwu who returned. Her emotions broke down in an instant. Miss Li Get up first. Hold the child. Li Xiwu stood up with her heavy mummy bag. Tears welled up in Xie Wens eyes. She obediently carried her daughter and stood up. Then, Li Xiwu handed her a cup of hot black tea. She was stunned and did not take it. Li Xiwu said, You like it. With that, Xie Wens tears fell. She originally thought that Miss Li did not want to interact with her again, but she did not expect Miss Li to buy a cup of her favorite orange-scented hot black tea for her. Li Xiwu watched in silence as Xie Wen cried. She did not comfort her and only took a tissue to wipe Xie Wens tears away until they dried up. Li Xiwu clenched the tissue in her palm and retracted it. Are you going home? Xie Wen said, I was going to call a taxi. Li Xiwu said, Were you looking for your phone just now? Xie Wen nodded. Li Xiwu turned around with the mummy bag. I have nothing going on now. Ill take you back. Xie Wen said, But Miss Li Li Xiwus almond-shaped eyes flashed. Dont you have something to tell me? Xie Wen nodded. Li Xiwu took the orange-scented hot black tea back from Xie Wen. Dont spill it. Hold Shenshen well and drink it in the car. Xie Wen said, Oh. After that, Xie Wen carried her daughter into Li Xiwus car. It was still the same Volvo. Xie Wen had sat in it for two years. Ever since she went to the production team, ran endorsements, or recorded a variety show overseas, Miss Li had always driven this car to pick her up. Li Xiwu got into the drivers seat and looked at Xie Wen in the inner rearview mirror. Do you want to feed the baby? Ill raise the shield. Xie Wen said, Shenshen was fussing just now. Shes going to sleep now. Li Xiwu nodded and opened the plastic bag of orange-scented hot black tea. She inserted the straw and handed it to Xie Wen. Drink it while its hot. Xie Wen took it. Miss Li is still the same as before. You know that Im afraid of the cold and buy me orange-scented hot black tea every time. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. I just happened to pass by and bought a cup. Xie Wen cherished the atmosphere between her and Li Xiwu. After taking a sip of hot black tea, she said, I received a notice from Mother-in-Law Joy. Tomorrow, Group 2 and Group 3 will go to Fu Town. That notification was sent in the group chat. Li Xiwu saw it too. Therefore, she was not surprised when she heard Xie Wen mention it. Fu Town is much wider than the hotel. Xie Wen said, Well be in frequent contact with each other for the next recordings in Fu Town. Li Xiwu said, I know. For some reason, her heart felt stuffy for no reason. She did not know if it was because she did not open the window. But Li Xiwu resisted the urge to open the window when she thought of the daughter in Xie Wens arms, afraid that the cold air would enter. She casually found a topic. Hows Chi Xus new drama progressing? Xie Wens eyes darkened. Hes playing the third male lead in this drama. He has more scenes. Li Xiwu sneered. Its just the third male lead. How many scenes can he have? Xie Wen did not refute Li Xiwu. As the former female lead for most of her dramas, she knew that no matter what drama it was, other than the scenes of the male and female leads, there were only scenes of the second male and female leads. The third male lead did not have many scenes. Li Xiwu looked at Xie Wens lonely expression in the rearview mirror. When he chased you back then, he was as free as an unemployed person. Now that hes married and acting as the third male lead, hes busy as if the country is under his control. Xie Wen, I still dont know what brand of drug Chi Xu gave you back then. Xie Wen looked at her sleeping daughter in her arms and sighed. I must have been obsessed. Li Xiwus lips twitched. Probably. After that, Li Xiwu sent Xie Wen home. Downstairs, Xie Wen invited Li Xiwu in. Li Xiwu did not refuse and helped Xie Wen carry her mummy bag upstairs. Before she entered, she heard the sound of mahjong. When she opened the door, she saw four people playing mahjong at a table in the living room. It was Zheng Yuehua and her three mahjong friends. Xie Wen went in first. Li Xiwu was changing her shoes at the entrance. Zheng Yuehua turned around and saw that Xie Wen had returned. She said in a very dissatisfied tone, Where did you go again? The weather outside is dry and cold. Dont run around with my granddaughter. Xie Wen explained, I took Shenshen to the production team to see her father. Zheng Yuehua played 4 bamboo. The other party shouted pung and picked up the tile. Zheng Yuehua said, Little Xu is so busy filming on set. Dont disturb him. Take good care of my granddaughter at home. By the way, cook early today and cook a few more dishes. Auntie Zhang, Auntie Wang, and Auntie Liu are all eating here. The three mahjong friends smiled and said they would eat at home. Zheng Yuehua said in a serious voice, Go back home for what? You dont have to cook. My daughter-in-laws culinary skills are very good. Youre in luck. Lets continue to play mahjong after eating here. Auntie Zhang said understandingly, Isnt your daughter-in-law taking care of the child? How can she have the time? How can she not have the time? When I was young, I took care of children, cooked, and even went to work. Didnt I overcome it? You dont have to worry about her. Shell make it and bring it to us. Really, Zheng Yuehua said confidently. After saying that, she did not forget to remind Xie Wen, Its almost eleven oclock. Be quick. Xie Wen replied, Got it. After receiving Xie Wens response, Zheng Yuehua showed off to her mahjong friends. Look, my daughter-in-law listens to me very much. When I say east, she never goes west. Lets play mahjong in peace and wait to eat ready-made food at noon. Chapter 46 - 46 Li Xiwu Is Here To Avenge Xie Wen! 46 Li Xiwu Is Here To Avenge Xie Wen! Xie Wen pursed her lips tightly. Then, she adjusted her emotions as quickly as possible and looked back at Li Xiwu as if nothing had happened. Miss Li, the living room Why dont you sit in my room for a while? It was too noisy in the living room. It was all the sound of mahjong tiles, the shouts of Zheng Yuehua and her mahjong friends. Li Xiwu did not say anything. She nodded and followed Xie Wen in with her mummy bag. Zheng Yuehua was focused on playing mahjong and did not see Li Xiwu enter. It was Auntie Wang who gave Zheng Yuehua a look to remind her that she was here. Zheng Yuehua turned around and recognized Li Xiwu at a glance. She greeted her warmly, Aiyo, Miss Li is here too. Li Xiwu called out, Hello, Auntie. Zheng Yuehua mistook the mummy bag in Li Xiwus hand for a gift and immediately stood up to welcome Li Xiwu. When she got closer and realized that it was Xie Wens mummy bag, Zheng Yuehua laughed dryly. Ha. Li Xiwu: Xie Wen explained, Miss Li sent me back. I invited her up to sit for a while. Zheng Yuehua waved her hand. I see. Then you guys chat. With that, she turned around and sat down at the mahjong table. When Xie Wen entered the room, Zheng Yuehua reminded her in a neutral voice, Remember to make lunch early. Xie Wen replied, Got it. Another round of mahjong was over. Auntie Wang asked, Sister Zheng, is the Miss Li you just called a teacher? What teacher? Shes Xie Wens former manager. Little Xu said thats what the entertainment industry calls managers, Zheng Yuehua said as she rubbed her cards. Auntie Liu said, She looks a little familiar. Zheng Yuehua snorted. We participate in this in-law variety show with Miss Li and her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law doesnt know anything. Its ridiculous. C In the bedroom. Xie Wen carefully placed her daughter on the bed. Li Xiwu noticed that there were barriers beside the bed, probably to prevent the baby from falling off the bed when she turned over. The bed and the ground was also filled with toys. It looked quite messy, but it was understandable. Houses with children cant be neat and tidy. Seeing Xie Wen stand up, Li Xiwu asked, Has Zheng Yuehua always treated you like this? Xie Wen wiped her palms on her clothes and went to the table to pour water for Li Xiwu. When she answered, her voice was slightly bitter. Its fine. After pouring the water, she handed it to Li Xiwu. Here, Miss Li. Li Xiwu took it with a cold expression. From a little girl who doesnt know anything to a housewife who knows everything. Only you should know how much hardship youve suffered in between. Xie Wen smiled bitterly. Yes. Li Xiwu sipped half a glass of water. She set the glass of water aside. Xie Wen, did I mention that youre the most hardworking person Ive ever met? Xie Wen looked up at Li Xiwu. You did. Li Xiwu looked straight into Xie Wens eyes. Likewise, youre the most disappointing person Ive ever met. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw cracks in Xie Wens eyes. Li Xiwu knew that she shouldnt say this, but her heart was too heavy. She took a deep breath and instructed Xie Wen, Stay with Shenshen. Leave the rest to me. Xie Wen was puzzled. Miss Li, what are you doing? Li Xiwu smiled but didnt say anything. In the living room. Auntie Wang had no choice but to leave first because her family had something urgent to discuss with her. This time, there were only three mahjong friends left. Zheng Yuehua was affected and complained. When Li Xiwu came out, she happened to hear Zheng Yuehuas complaint. At this moment, Auntie Zhang also stood up. Sis Wang has left. Ill go back and make lunch. Ill come back in the afternoon. With that, Auntie Zhang left. Only Zheng Yuehua and Auntie Liu were left. Zheng Yuehua began to speak ill of Auntie Zhang and Auntie Wang. Auntie Liu nodded in agreement. Yes, yes, yes. Thats right. The two of them laughed until their teeth were visible. Li Xiwu walked over and sat down. What are you two aunties talking about so happily? Zheng Yuehua and Auntie Liu stopped smiling. Zheng Yuehua looked at Li Xiwu, who had sat down. Miss Li, why are you out? Arent you chatting with Xie Wen inside? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. My hands were itching when I listened to the sound of mahjong inside. Zheng Yuehuas eyes lit up. Miss Li knows how to play mahjong? Li Xiwu nodded. A little. Youre too humble. Zheng Yuehua immediately greeted her. Miss Li, how about the three of us play a few rounds? Li Xiwu nodded. But Im not good at mahjong. Im probably going to pay my tuition fees. Aunties, please show mercy. Zheng Yuehuas eyes narrowed into slits. Dont worry, Ill give in to you. When Xie Wen came out and saw that Miss Li had not left and had even joined her mother-in-laws mahjong game, she was puzzled for a moment. However, after hearing Li Xiwus words, she stayed inside with Shenshen in peace. For the first few rounds, Li Xiwu kept losing money. Zheng Yuehua and Auntie Lius faces were almost twisted with laughter. Zheng Yuehua even comforted Li Xiwu, Its fine. You might not have played mahjong for too long. Itll be fine after a few more rounds. Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. In the next few rounds, Li Xiwu began to win again. Zheng Yuehua was still very happy. She thought that she had gone easy on Li Xiwu and said to her, Miss Li, look, Im right, right? You got used to it after a while. Youll be able to win back the money you lost to us soon. The little girl was still a little young. Theres no way youre going to win back the money thats in my pocket, Zheng Yuehua thought smugly. However, the following situation was completely out of Zheng Yuehuas control. After Li Xiwu lost a few rounds, her mahjong skills suddenly became extremely exquisite and she won. Not only did she win back the money she lost to Zheng Yuehua and Auntie Liu, but she also won a lot from them. Zheng Yuehuas face turned green. During this period, Li Xiwu took her phone and ordered food from a high-end restaurant. At the same time, she bought a golden necklace from a gold shop on WeChat and delivered it quickly. Her private note said that it could not be mentioned that it was a necklace. The necklace was delivered first. Li Xiwu excused herself and said that it was eye drops as her eyes were too dry. When she entered the bedroom to apply the eye drops in the mirror, she placed the golden necklace in Xie Wens mummy bag. The dishes were also delivered one after another. Xie Wen carried them in. Li Xiwu raised her voice and said, I ordered it. It just so happens that the Qingwei Pavilion has an anniversary discount today. Zheng Yuehua was unhappy that she had lost money. When she saw that Li Xiwu had ordered lunch and it was from the Qingwei Pavilion with an excellent reputation, her expression became much happier. However, she did not forget to scold Xie Wen. I told you to make lunch early. Look, Miss Li has spent money again. Li Xiwu smiled. Its fine. Xie Wen did not understand why Li Xiwu did this. But she soon understood. After lunch, Zheng Yuehua pulled Auntie Liu and Li Xiwu to sit down and made up her mind to win back the money she had lost in the morning. Li Xiwu sat down and continued to play. Finally, at the end Li Xiwu won a few rounds consecutively and was numb from winning. She won a total of more than 15,000 yuan. Auntie Liu couldnt hold it in anymore. She hurriedly shouted to stop, saying that she wanted to go home. If she continued to lose like this, she wouldnt be able to sleep tonight. Li Xiwu looked at Zheng Yuehua. Its a pity that Auntie Liu left first. Otherwise, we could have played a few more rounds. Zheng Yuehuas face was ashen and she did not say anything. When the time came, Li Xiwu suddenly turned around and asked Xie Wen, By the way, Xie Wen, didnt you go to the jewelry shop to buy a necklace for Auntie? Chapter 47 - 47 Going to a Date 47 Going to a Date Upon hearing the words gold jewelry and necklace, Zheng Yuehuas eyes lit up. She immediately turned to look at Xie Wen, clearly surprised. Wenwen, you bought me a gold necklace? Xie Wen did not react for a moment. Li Xiwu smiled and reminded her, I remember you left it in your mummy bag after you bought the necklace. Oh, right. Xie Wen finally reacted and entered the room to open her mummy bag. There was a logo with a Gold on a burgundy box. When she opened it, an exquisite gold necklace lay inside. The style of the pendant was perfect for a woman in her forties or fifties. When Xie Wen saw this golden necklace, warmth welled up in her heart and she felt a lump in her throat. Li Xiwu would arrange everything in advance. She did not play mahjong without thought. After winning so much money from Zheng Yuehua, when she returned home, Zheng Yuehua would definitely take it out on Xie Wen. This golden necklace was given out in Xie Wens name. At least for the next few days, Zheng Yuehua would restrain herself a little. Most importantly, she had bought it with Zheng Yuehuas money. The abacus clattered under Li Xiwus hand. After Zheng Yuehua put on the necklace, she threw the unhappiness of losing to the back of her mind and kept showing off. Aiyo, look. Does my neck look thin when I put it on? Last time, I wanted to buy one like this. It cost more than eight thousand. Thinking that I already had so many necklaces, I resisted the urge to buy them. You have to buy gold for necklaces and rings. Those 18k gold ones are not worth it at all. Wenwen is still the best. Zheng Yuehua was very mean when she was mean. In front of outsiders, she still had to praise her daughter-in-law. Li Xiwu smiled brightly and praised, This necklace is very suitable for Auntie. Right? I think so too. The smile on Zheng Yuehuas face had never stopped since she saw this golden necklace. Although she was unhappy that Li Xiwu had won so much money from her, she could not ignore her. She chuckled and took out her phone to take a selfie. Li Xiwu was ready to leave. Xie Wen took advantage of the fact that her daughter was still taking her afternoon nap to send Li Xiwu to the elevator a few steps away from the door. Miss Li, thank you for today. Li Xiwu turned to look at Xie Wen. I remember that you acted in a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama when you first debuted, but you were only the second female lead at that time. After work, you complained to me about being afraid of marriage, that if you met someone like in the drama, you would go crazy. Xie Wen smiled bitterly. Probably soon. The remaining smile on Li Xiwus face faded. Xie Wen, if possible, I hope to see you be yourself again one day. Xie Wen lowered her head, not daring Li Xiwu to see the tears in her eyes. I hope so. Li Xiwu said, Take out your phone. Xie Wen didnt know what she wanted to do, but she still took out her phone and unlocked it before handing it to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu used her phone to transfer 5,000 yuan to Xie Wen. Then, she clicked on Xie Wens WeChat to collect the money. When Xie Wen saw this, she quickly said, No need. I have money. Li Xiwu smiled. Of course I know you have money, but your mother-in-law gave you this money. It would be a waste not to take it. This was the money Li Xiwu had won from Zheng Yuehua. After buying the necklace, she had 5,000 yuan left. She had expected that it would be just enough money to win a necklace. She had been lucky today and had won a few thousand more than she had expected. Xie Wen smiled through her tears. Miss Li Alright, go in. Li Xiwu returned the phone to Xie Wen. Then she took the elevator downstairs and got into the car. She planned to return to the company to see Xue Jinzhu. When she fastened her seatbelt and adjusted the navigation, she noticed that there were several unread WeChat messages on WeChat. Li Xiwu opened them Xue Jinzhu: [Miss Li, I dont have time for this afternoons class. Ill ask for leave from you.] Xue Jinzhu: [Im going on a date tonight.] Xue Jinzhu: [Miss Li, dont be angry. (Good girl JPG)] Li Xiwu finished reading Xue Jinzhus WeChat message and replied, Okay. Then, she put away her phone. Looks like she doesnt have to go to the office. On the drive, she called Qiao Qiao and asked her out for dinner. Qiao Qiaos voice came from the Bluetooth earpiece. Im not going to be a third wheel. Pei Jingzhous three-foot-freezing aura can freeze me into an ice sculpture. Li Xiwu smiled. No Pei Jingzhou, its just the two of us. Qiao Qiao said, Just the two of us? He Wang already said that Pei Jingzhou has booked the entire Waldorf Restaurant tonight. Remember to take photos when you go. As usual, post on WeChat first. Pei Jingzhou booked the Waldorf Restaurant? Li Xiwu seemed to have thought of something and chuckled. Qiao Qiao said, You dont say. This man is quite romantic. Treat it as enjoyment before the divorce. There was a red light ahead. Li Xiwu stopped the car and placed her hand on the steering wheel. She remembered that Xue Jinzhu had sent her a WeChat message not long ago saying that she was going on a date tonight. Now, she learned from Qiao Qiao that Pei Jingzhou had booked the Waldorf Restaurant Li Xiwu pondered for a moment. Theres something I didnt tell you. Pei Jingzhou has a lover outside. Qiao Qiao raised her voice. You saw it with your own eyes? Li Xiwus voice was steady. Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Booking the Waldorf was a date with his new lover. It had nothing to do with me. At this point, Li Xiwu smiled to herself. There was silence on Qiao Qiaos end. The light turned green. Li Xiwu braced herself against the steering wheel with one hand and adjusted her Bluetooth earpiece with the other. Shall we have Hunan or Sichuan tonight? Qiao Qiaos voice was low. Sichuan, I think. You like it. Li Xiwu said, Okay. It was rare for her to let herself go all afternoon without doing anything serious. The guilt of working men rose. She could only rely on spicy food to ease it. In the Sichuan restaurant. Qiao Qiao ordered six bottles of beer and tore off the cap with her teeth. She was very fierce. Li Xiwu gave her a thumbs-up. Good teeth, girl. Qiao Qiao clicked her tongue and filled Li Xiwus cup. The dishes were served one after another. The spicy and fresh fragrance assailed her nose and hooked her taste buds, making her hungry. Li Xiwu switched her phone to silent mode and shared the joy of the afternoon with Qiao Qiao. I used the mahjong skills you taught me today and won until I was numb. Qiao Qiaos interest was piqued. Who with? Li Xiwu told her about the afternoon. Qiao Qiao laughed out loud. Xie Wens mother-in-law is really unlucky. When she met a disciple I personally taught, she always killed everyone at the mahjong table. Throughout the meal, Qiao Qiao didnt mention a word about what Li Xiwu had said on the phone. Although it was not unusual for Pei Jingzhou to find a new lover, it was not a glorious thing. It did not sound good. The only teasing remark was, Remember to provide for me when you get 400 million. Li Xiwu raised her lips. Okay. After dinner. When theyre going home, Qiao Qiao asked her, Are we going back to Lake Lu? Li Xiwu remembered that Pei Jingzhou had asked her to go home tonight Li Xiwu, who had planned to return to Lake Lu, changed her mind. Lets go to your house. In any case, Pei Jingzhou was going to have dinner with his lover tonight. Pei Jingzhou might not know if she returned to Lake Lu, so she might as well not go back. C The next day. Li Xiwu woke to see a lot of missed calls. The first person in front was Han Qianye. She called Han Qianye back first. On the phone, Han Qianye asked her in a steady voice, Where are you? Were leaving. Li Xiwu gave her an approximate location. Han Qianye said, The car will be here soon. Then she hung up. Li Xiwu didnt have time to look at the other missed calls. She quickly got up and dressed herself. When she came out, she saw that Qiao Qiao was still sleeping soundly. Li Xiwu didnt wake her up. She left a Post-it note and hurried out. The car quickly arrived at the location she had reported. Li Xiwu got into the car and called out, Auntie. It had only been a day since they last met. Han Qianye saw that Li Xiwu was a little uncomfortable. After nodding, she remained silent. The car drove to Fu Town. The journey was quiet. No one mentioned the night of the blind date show. Han Qianye waited for a long time but did not see Li Xiwu looking for a topic. She thought that Li Xiwu was too boring. Did her son only want her because it was quiet when he was with her? Han Qianye could only speak first. I have something to tell you. She sounded quite serious. Li Xiwu thought it was something serious and glanced sideways. Go ahead. Han Qianye raised her head and puffed out her chest. Yesterday, Ive already finished reading the wild protected animal knowledge book. Li Xiwu: Chapter 48 - 48 Theres an Evil Mother 48 Theres an Evil Mother-in-Law Next Door Han Qianye sounded a little smug. She was also a little proud. The expression seemed to convey silently: Not complimenting me? Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Yes, its good to see it. Han Qianye: Thats it? Are you really not going to praise me? Han Qianye was too embarrassed to say this. She pursed her lips. Of course. This time, Ill definitely convince them! Last time, because she did not recognize the wild protected animals, Han Qianye embarrassed herself on the first day of the live broadcast and was mocked by the netizens. Although the credit for the second time fell on her, Han Qianye did not recognize it herself. After thinking about it, she did not feel very comfortable. She was thinking when she heard Li Xiwus voice. Youre amazing to be able to finish the atlas in a day. Han Qianyes lips curled up crazily. She almost laughed out loud. Suddenly remembering something, Han Qianye reminded Li Xiwu, By the way, youre not allowed to use your body against me this time. Dont forget what I said. Divorce is better than being widowed. Its unlucky to be widowed. Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. Han Qianye felt that Li Xiwu did not listen to her. She rambled on. Nothing is more important than your health. You dont want to take 400 million from me and end up not having the fortune to spend it. Li Xiwu: She knew that Han Qianye was reminding her out of kindness, but it sounded like it had another meaning. She smiled. Dont worry, Auntie. Ill be lucky to spend this money. C The car arrived at Fu Town. Li Xiwu got out of the car first. Her vision was better, and she could see Director Gao standing outside the inn from afar, as well as a man similar to him standing beside him. Li Xiwu recognized him. It was the assistant director in charge of Group 2 and Group 3, Yu Jing. Miss Li, Miss Lis mother-in-law. Good morning. Director Gao waved enthusiastically. As she approached, Li Xiwu shouted, Director Gao, Director Yu. Han Qianye maintained a proper smile on her face. Gao Yueban said, Miss Li, you and your mother-in-law are the earliest guests to arrive today. The moment that was said, Han Qianyes eyes suddenly lit up. Really? Gao Yueban repeated what he had just said. Of course its true. Among the four groups of guests, your group was the first to arrive. Han Qianye grinned. To think I went to bed at seven last night. Gao Yuebans lips twitched. Sleep at seven Yu Jing smiled bitterly. How can people like us who only sleep at two in the morning live? Gao Yueban said, Living day by day. Not long after, Group Two of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived in Fu Town. Then came Group One of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In the end, the third group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Xie Wen and her mother-in-law, arrived late. They had a lot of luggage, mainly baby supplies. After changing the venue, in order to show her good mother-in-laws side, Zheng Yuehua took all the bags and only let Xie Wen carry her daughter. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the inn one after another. It was probably a deliberate arrangement by the production team. Xie Wens room was opposite Li Xiwus. At this moment, Han Qianye, who was in the room next to Li Xiwu, was a little anxious. Wouldnt it be too noisy when the four groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were going to live together for three days? she thought. Even though she knew that Li Xiwu was a boring person, Han Qianye could not help but go out and chat with Li Xiwu to see if she could relieve such a persons anxiety. She arrived outside Li Xiwus door. Han Qianye raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when an intense voice came from the room opposite Li Xiwu I already said that you have to bring all of Shenshens things. Ive reminded you hundreds of times. As soon as we arrived, I realized that you didnt bring everything. Can you count on me? Youre the one who brought Shenshen, not me. It stinks. What did you give Shenshen for her to stink so much? Hurry up and change her diapers. Didnt you hear the director urging you downstairs? The live broadcast is about to start. Han Qianyes eyebrows twitched when she heard this outside the door. The room opposite Li Xiwu seemed to be the room of Group Threes mother and daughter-in-law, right? It was said that in order to make it easier to take care of the children, the director arranged for the third group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to stay in the same room. Was the mother-in-law of the third group so fierce? Han Qianye immediately turned around and returned to her room. She closed the door quietly and took out her phone to find Lin Yourongs number. A woman was a young girl until her death. When she heard the gossip, she immediately shared it with her good friend, so Han Qianye called Lin Yourong. Rongrong, let me tell you something interesting. The mother-in-law in the third group is an evil mother-in-law. Lin Yourong: After not hearing Lin Yourongs voice for a long time, Han Qianye thought that she had not picked up. She took it down and saw that it was connected. Han Qianye said, Hello? Rongrong? Lin Yourong coughed lightly. Im listening. Han Qianye said, Im listening to you not speak! Lin Yourong was speechless. She didnt know what to say. Han Qianye continued to share with her good friend, You werent there to hear it. That evil mother-in-law of Group Three spoke so badly that even dogs shook their heads. Lin Yourong asked, What did Group Threes mother-in-law say? Han Qianye repeated what she had heard to Lin Yourong. Lin Yourong was very calm after hearing this. This is normal. Its easier to discipline a daughter-in-law when the mother-in-law is stricter. You havent interacted much with Li Xiwu in the past three years, nor have you cared much about her. Qianye, let me tell you, you have to learn how to discipline your daughter-in-law like the mother-in-law of Group Three. Act like a mother-in-law, understand? Han Qianye frowned. I know everything you taught me, but I cant learn the style of Group Threes mother-in-law. Lin Yourong said, Idiot. Han Qianye scolded back, Youre the fool. Dont scold me. Lin Yourong laughed a few times. After laughing, she did not forget to remind Han Qianye, Dont go astray this time. Remember what I taught you. Target Li Xiwu when you should. Dont forget your original intention. What was the original intention? Han Qianye thought for a moment but could not remember. Afraid that Lin Yourong would scold her again, she immediately said that the director was urging her, so she hung up first. C Li Xiwu, who was next door, was also on the phone. It was a call to Pei Jingzhou. She returned to her room and took out her phone to see who the missed calls were from. In the end, she saw that they were all from Pei Jingzhou. She faintly remembered that she had muted her phone before she had dinner with Qiao Qiao last night. Her phone didnt vibrate when he called, so she couldnt feel it. Did Pei Jingzhou go home last night? And then came home to find that she hadnt gone back? Li Xiwu couldnt guess correctly. One call could be ignored, but seven or eight missed calls couldnt be ignored even if she wanted to. She could only bite the bullet and call back. He didnt pick up on the first try. The second time, he still didnt pick up. Li Xiwu called a third time, but he still didnt pick up. She wasnt stubborn. She put down the phone and didnt call back. She dug out the lip gloss from her bag and slowly colored her lips. A few minutes later, the phone page lit up. Pei Jingzhou called. Chapter 49 - 49 Pei Jingzhou said, "I miss you." 49 Pei Jingzhou said, I miss you. The unanswered call was fixed at 56 seconds. The line would automatically hang up after fifty-six seconds. Li Xiwu waited until the 50th second to pick up the phone. The person on the other end said nothing. Li Xiwu screwed on the lip enamel cover and pressed the phone to her ear. Her voice was calm. Fourth Brother, good morning. Pei Jingzhou said, If you have the ability, dont answer it. Li Xiwu raised her lips. I wouldnt dare. Pei Jingzhous voice was so cold that it could almost penetrate her. Li Xiwu, is there anything you dont dare to do? Li Xiwu said, I wouldnt dare to do this, I wouldnt dare to do that. Li Xiwu did not know that Pei Jingzhou had been angry all night. Even before answering Li Xiwus call, his anger had not subsided. He picked up Li Xiwus call angrily, yet he was once again angered by her. It went on and on. Pei Jingzhous voice was very deep. Li Xiwu, sooner or later, youll anger me to death. On the other end of the line, Li Xiwu smiled harmlessly. Thank you for thinking highly of me, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou snorted. Li Xiwu paused for a moment before saying, If I really have the ability, can I remarry when Fourth Brother is gone? Then other than remarrying, can I become Fourth Brothers first heir? The line went quiet. Li Xiwu knew she had stepped on a mine. However, she was not afraid at all. She became serious again. Fourth Brother, dont be angry. Im thinking about necessary problems. You and I dont have children. We have to consider the matter of the first heir. She did make it sound serious. Pei Jingzhou only gave her three words. You heartless thing. It was fine if she wanted him to die, but she couldnt wait to remarry. In the end, she didnt forget to inherit his assets? Li Xiwu couldnt stop laughing, but she tried not to laugh out loud. Those serious words just now really didnt sound very kind. If she laughed again, Pei Jingzhou would be so angry that he would rush towards Fu Town and capture her. It was enough to lick the blood off the tip of a knife once. If she licked too much, she would accidentally lick her own blood. Li Xiwu asked about serious matters. Fourth Brother called me several times last night. Is something the matter? Pei Jingzhou asked, Why are you asking me now? Li Xiwu explained anyway. I accidentally muted my phone yesterday afternoon and rested at Qiao Qiaos last night. I left in a hurry this morning and didnt have time to check my phone for missed calls. Im sorry. Sometimes contradiction and obedience did not conflict. When combined, this was called knowing when to advance and retreat. Pei Jingzhou: You didnt look at your phone all night? Li Xiwu said truthfully, I didnt. Pei Jingzhou laughed angrily. Li Xiwu, good job. Apart from Li Xiwus contradictions at the beginning, they did not talk much after that. Pei Jingzhous anger was not directed at Li Xiwu because he could not vent it. His voice sounded a few degrees colder, but it was like a paper tiger. Li Xiwu didnt ask anything about booking the Waldorf Restaurant. What was the point of her asking about his date with his lover? Before hanging up, Pei Jingzhou asked her, How many days of rest are you going to broadcast this time? The director had said early on that they would rest every three days. Li Xiwu said, Three days. Pei Jingzhou said, Another three days. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. Weve only been apart for a day. Fourth Brother, do you miss me already? The remark was a joke. It was just a casual saying. Unexpectedly, Pei Jingzhou replied, Yes, I do. The words were simple. Li Xiwu felt strange. She couldnt describe it. When she heard a knock on the door, she said to the man on the other end, The director is urging me. Then she hung up in a hurry. Li Xiwu turned the phone to silent before getting up to open the door. Xie Wen was standing outside the door. She was alone. Shenshen should be with Zheng Yuehua. Xie Wen said, Miss Li, the director just told me about the scene of us meeting later. Li Xiwu knew about this and came out to close the door. The directors arrangements are a little exaggerated. I dont think theres a need. A tacit look is enough. Xie Wen was an actress, so how could she not know what kind of gaze could control the hearts of the audience? She said, Thats what I thought. The door next door did not open. Li Xiwu told Xie Wen to wait, then raised her hand and knocked on Han Qianyes door. A few seconds later, Han Qianye came over and opened the door. Did the director rush you? Li Xiwu nodded. Everyones downstairs. Han Qianye thought about how the four groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were gathered together, and her microsocial phobia acted up. After coming out, she wanted to walk beside Li Xiwu, but Xie Wen occupied the place beside Li Xiwu, so she had no place. Han Qianye was dissatisfied. As she walked, she shouted, Aiya! Li Xiwu and Xie Wen turned around. Han Qianye stood there and pointed at her eyes. My eyelashes on my left eye seem to have taken off. Li Xiwu, come over and help me take a look. Li Xiwu turned back. Xie Wen could only go downstairs first. Li Xiwu took a closer look at Han Qianye. Her left eye was still covered in makeup. Not only that, but Li Xiwus gaze was also attracted by Han Qianyes surprisingly good skin for a few seconds. She could not help but sigh. It was indeed the charm of hot-madge. Why did she have to be rich? When she reached Han Qianyes age, she might not even have skin like Han Qianyes. Only money could stay young forever. Seeing that Li Xiwu was staring at her face intently, Han Qianye asked, Did my makeup fall off? Li Xiwu looked away. No. The makeup is exquisite and clean. Little dust might have flown into your eyes just now. Your eyelashes are still on. Han Qianye said, Thats good. C Downstairs. Melodious piano music came. It was a familiar scene. Li Xiwu recalled the first day of the live broadcast. Under the encouragement of her mother-in-law, Min Hanrong, Tao Jing displayed her piano skills and received unanimous praise from online netizens. At that time, that clip was still half edited and posted on Mother-in-Law Joys official Weibo. Many netizens who had missed the live broadcast were looking forward to the premiere of Wind Platform because of this clip. Today, under the directors deliberate arrangement, Li Xiwu and Xie Wen had a scene of them meeting. After all, the netizens had been looking forward to it. The production team would naturally satisfy the netizens, so they had specially arranged such a scene. After officially starting the live broadcast, Li Xiwu, Han Qianye, Tao Jing, and Min Hanrong sat down at the long table. On the long table was the breakfast prepared by the production team and a fruit platter. It was very exquisite. The moment Min Hanrong saw Han Qianye, she greeted her warmly, Qianye, its only been a day since we last met. I miss you exceptionally. Who didnt know how to speak plastic? Han Qianye gave her face. Me too. I feel like youre my long-lost sister. Min Hanrong said, Your makeup looks good today. Han Qianye said, Your hairstyle is also good. Min Hanrong said, The style of your clothes is very unique. Han Qianye said, Your shoes are also unique. Everyone: It sounded like praise, but at the same time, it didnt sound like praise too. Chapter 50 - 50 Meeting 50 Meeting Han Qianye felt that such praise was boring and too plastic, so she changed the topic. Hanrong, which year are you born? Min Hanrong: Why did the topic have to be so different! Although everyone knew her age, women never really wanted to mention their year of birth when they were old. But this was a variety show live broadcast. Again, she had to answer. Min Hanrong gritted her molars and replied, Seventy three. Han Qianye smiled meaningfully. What a coincidence. Im also 73. Then what month are you? Min Hanrong took a deep breath. April. Han Qianye smiled happily. Im July. Youre older, so youre the sister. Min Hanrong: The netizens in the live-stream were about to crack from laughter. [The combined mind of these two can circle the earth.] [I remember that last time, a netizen said that Han Qianye is a scheming person, but she just cant hide it. Hahahahaha] [Its broadcasting, its broadcasting. My appetizer is here. Mother-in-law Joy, gogo~] [The live broadcast is not enough. When will Wind Platform premiere this? If I want to watch the replay, Ill have to wait until the flowers wilt.] [Although I like Min Hanrong very much, Han Qianye is really funny. Isnt this how a funny woman looks when shes old? I seem to have seen my future self.] [The official Weibo account did not reveal any new information, but I heard that the second episode is even more exciting. Are they going to gather?] [They shouldnt gather so quickly. I feel that these four groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law might only gather in the next episode.] [Strange, Group 2 and Group 3 havent broadcasted yet? I want to see Xie Wen.] The comments in the live-stream were very happy. The hint competition between Min Hanrong and Han Qianye was simply an atmosphere adjustment agent. Tao Jing did not dare to smile too obviously, so she could only talk to Li Xiwu opposite her. Xiwu, were you resting at home or working yesterday? Now that they were familiar with each other, Tao Jing changed the way she addressed Miss Li to calling her by her name, making her seem even more friendly. Li Xiwu looked up. I worked and rested. Tao Jing raised her folded hands to her cheeks and asked, Then what do you usually do when youre resting? Li Xiwu said calmly, I usually stay at home. Tao Jing nodded. Oh. Of course, she couldnt mention playing mahjong. In order to maintain the atmosphere, Li Xiwu threw the topic to Tao Jing. Just as she was listening carefully to Tao Jing talk about her usual living arrangements, the seat beside her suddenly pulled open and someone sat down. She glanced sideways to see who it was. The moment she saw Xie Wen, Li Xiwu quickly realized that this was a script arranged by the director. Meeting She looked slightly stunned and surprised. Slowly, the surprise and surprise in her eyes were obvious. Her fingers, which were flat on the table, moved slightly, her fingertips indicating her unsettled mood. Until Xie Wen called out coquettishly, Miss Li~ Li Xiwu smiled. Youre here. It was just two words, but they were more than a thousand words. Xie Wen smiled like a young girl who had just left school. She was young, lively, and all the mental and physical exhaustion had disappeared at this moment. There was only joy and excitement in her heart, as well as the happiness of seeing her life mentor again. The scene that online netizens wanted to see did not appear. Xie Wen did not reach out to hug Li Xiwu and then confess to each other. She only pointed at her face and asked playfully, Miss Li, do you think my makeup is good today? This was what Xie Wen had asked Li Xiwu the most in the past. Every time the makeup artist changed her makeup, as long as Li Xiwu was around, she would definitely ask Li Xiwu if her makeup was good. Most of the time, Li Xiwu would say that she looked good, unless she was really unsatisfactory. Then, Xie Wen would do as Li Xiwu said and get the makeup artist to modify her makeup. She had always listened to Li Xiwus opinion. Only when it came to love and marriage did she go against everyones advice, including Li Xiwu. At this moment, Li Xiwus gaze was not as good as Xie Wens, but her sincerity was enough to express everything. She said seriously, The color of the lip gloss will look better if its a little thicker. Is that so? Xie Wens eyes curved. Then Ill make up for it. Just like when she first arrived at the inn, she still had her bag with her. She opened her bag under the camera and found a lipstick. When she couldnt find a mirror, Xie Wen turned around and handed the lipstick to Li Xiwu. Miss Li, help me mend it. It wasnt a troubled tone. Just like ordinary friends, there were no obvious emotions, but millions of netizens in the live-stream were jealous [F*ck! My eyes are in a brick!] [Wenwen, youre confused.] [My dream has been fulfilled. Xie Wen is finally in the same frame as her Sister Li.] [The official surprise is really without any advance notice, my tears flowed like water in West Lake.] [I thought we would have to wait until the third episode for them to get together. I didnt expect for them to get together in the second episode. Director, I love you.] [I didnt think so when I watched Xie Wens live-stream, but when I saw Xie Wen and Sister Li in the same frame, I was really emotional. Wenwen, youre confused.] [I hope Xie Wen can return to the entertainment industry after this variety show.] The comments were endless. Tao Jing, who was sitting opposite her, saw this scene between Li Xiwu and Xie Wen and recalled the script she had seen from Mother-in-Law Joy yesterday. She had seen Xie Wens fans say that when Xie Wen left the industry to give birth, it almost became Li Xiwus sore spot. How regretful was that Tao Jing couldnt help but think of the song Altenis in A Minor. Mother Dragons song was also filled with regret. If the prelude to Altenis in A Minor sounded at this moment, it would really be too appropriate. Of course, Tao Jing was not the only one who thought so. Countless online fans had the same thought. [Seeing this, I suddenly thought of Mother Dragons Altenis. Did you think of the same thing?] [Apollo stopped Altenis from falling in love with the God of Storm. In the end, it caused a tragedy. Poignant but filled with regret.] [Isnt Xie Wen a portrait of Altenis? Apollo clearly doted on Altenis so much, but she insisted on falling in love with the God of Storm and even died for love in the end.] [Everyone, play Altenis in A Minor on the public screen for the director to see. I hope that the Wind Platform will play this song in the premiere when Sister Li and Xie Wen meet.] [Put Altenis in A Minor on the public screen! Get the director to buy the copyright from Mother Dragon!] At this moment, Li Xiwu had already applied lip gloss to Xie Wen. Done. Xie Wens lips curved. Is it beautiful? Li Xiwu praised her seriously. Yes, especially beautiful. Xie Wen had good facial features. She had not put on any makeup since she was pregnant. It was also because she had been on a variety show that she began to put on makeup frequently. Although she looked a little haggard, her makeup could cover that haggardness very well. Originally, this makeup today was already very exquisite. Under Li Xiwus suggestion, after adding lip color, this face instantly returned to its peak appearance when she first debuted. Chapter 51 - 51 Cant Leave Li Xiwu for a Minute 51 Cant Leave Li Xiwu for a Minute Tao Jing couldnt help but praise, WowXie Wen, youre really beautiful. Xie Wen praised her openly. You too. Tao Jing asked, Xie Wen, wheres your mother-in-law? Xie Wen said, Shes taking care of Shenshen. Shell be down soon. Tao Jing did not react for a moment. Shenshen is? Xie Wen said, My daughter. Tao Jing instantly reacted. Oh. Soon, the second group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the inn. Everyone present turned to look at the second group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Xiang Lan was a fitness trainer. After working out for so many years, she maintained her figure very well. Not only did she have a good figure, but her face also looked very young. There were fine lines but she did not look old at all. At first glance, one would think that she was in her early thirties. As a doctor, Xu Muzhens temperament and state naturally could not be compared to her mother-in-law. After staying up too late, the bags under her eyes were more obvious. Xu Muzhen and Xiang Lans personalities were different. Xiang Lans personality was slow to warm up when there were many people. On the other hand, Xu Muzhen was very cheerful on the outside. Perhaps because of her profession as she had to deal with many patients every day. At this moment, after Xu Muzhen sat down, she took the initiative to greet everyone warmly. When she saw Min Hanrong and Xie Wen, she instantly became a fan. The atmosphere was especially good. Not long after, Zheng Yuehua came down and sat down on the other side of Xie Wen. Wenwen, Ive coaxed Shenshen to sleep. Eat breakfast in peace later. Im here. Xie Wen nodded. Okay. Li Xiwu looked up at Zheng Yuehua. Aunt Zheng. Zheng Yuehua noticed Li Xiwu and smiled kindly at her. It had to be said that Zheng Yuehua really displayed the image of a good mother-in-law in front of the camera. She had a firm grasp of being a two-faced person. The audience could not find any fault with it. Li Xiwu noticed that the necklace on Zheng Yuehuas neck was the one she had bought yesterday. She treated it as the first time she had seen that necklace today and praised, Aunt Zheng, the necklace on your neck suits you very well. Zheng Yuehua understood. She was recording a show to find a topic. She placed her hand on Xie Wens shoulder and continued Li Xiwus words. Wenwen bought me the necklace. Its not just this one. Wenwen also bought me many gold and silver jewelry. Min Hanrong chimed in, Sister Zheng, youre so lucky. Zheng Yuehua showed off. I dont know what good fortune I had in my previous life to have a good daughter-in-law like Wenwen in this life. No, shes my biological daughter. Han Qianye did not reply. She thought to herself, If I hadnt heard you shouting at your daughter-in-law outside the door, I would have believed you. After that, everyone ate breakfast together. Min Hanrong was elegant and calm as she chatted and laughed. Xiang Lan looked expressionless, but in fact, she did not know what to say. She could only eat and listen. Occasionally, when the topic touched on her, she would add on. Zheng Yuehua worked hard to show her good mother-in-law side. She poured milk for Xie Wen and took fruits. She was meticulous and considerate. Han Qianye did not have much of an appetite. She stopped eating after a few bites and watched Li Xiwu eat the noodles. Li Xiwu sensed Han Qianyes gaze. There should be quite a lot of missions today. Eat more to replenish your strength. Han Qianye said, Whats so good about carbohydrates? Li Xiwu said, Rice is also carbohydrate. Han Qianye rested her chin on her other hand. I dont have an appetite. The breakfast prepared by the show was very rich, but Han Qianye looked around and saw that everyone was eating happily. Only she did not want to eat anything. Probably because there were many people, Han Qianye had never eaten breakfast with so many people. Li Xiwu opened the chili sauce in front of her and scooped a spoonful of it on the plate. She mixed it and began to eat. Han Qianye asked, Isnt it spicy? Li Xiwu chewed and swallowed slowly. The spiciness of this chili sauce is average. Han Qianye was skeptical. Really? Li Xiwu said, I can eat spicy food, so I think the spiciness is average. Han Qianye stared at the small jar of bright red chili sauce and was tempted to try it. Li Xiwu could tell that Han Qianye was tempted, but she did not invite Han Qianye to try. Everyones acceptance of spiciness was different. She felt that it was ordinary, but Han Qianye might not think so. Even if Li Xiwu did not invite her, Han Qianye wanted to try. But it was really too red. Women were naturally experimental with bright red things. Hence, Han Qianye picked up her chopsticks and mixed some chili sauce from the small jar before putting it into her mouth. Li Xiwu did not notice Han Qianyes action. She ate the noodles seriously, but as she ate, she suddenly heard a hissing sound beside her. She looked up at Han Qianye. Han Qianye asked calmly, Whats wrong? Li Xiwu thought she had heard wrongly and lowered her head to continue eating her noodles. Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Li Xiwu looked up at Han Qianye again. Han Qianye was still very calm. What now? Li Xiwu was silent for two seconds before pushing the cup of warm water that she had not drunk to Han Qianye. Han Qianye, who had always wanted to be strong, said, Why are you giving me water? I didnt eat chili sauce. Hiss I didnt eat it. I really did Hiss Li Xiwu: Netizens flooded the comments screen. [Im laughing so hard that my teeth are missing. Hahahahaha] [A woman who wants to be strong in her life. Has Han Qianye forgotten that shes on camera? We all saw her touch that jar of chili sauce.] [Just a sip. Hissing all day.] [I used to like to watch Min Hanrong, but now I like to watch Han Qianye and Li Xiwu. Is anyone like me?] [I like Xie Wens mother-in-law even more. Xie Wens mother-in-law is really too good. Shes simply a dream mother-in-law!] [I think Xie Wens mother-in-law is really good. I finally understand why Xie Wen gave up her career back then.] [With such a good mother-in-law and a husband who loves her, and given birth to a cute daughter. Her life is complete.] [Support Xie Wens mother-in-law!!!] C After breakfast. The small morning task was simple. Group Two and Group Three had just arrived in Fu Town and were not familiar with it yet, so in the morning, Group One and Group Four took Group Two and Group Three outside to familiarize themselves with the environment of Fu Town. After reading the book of wild protected animals, Han Qianye volunteered confidently, Ill lead the way. At this moment, Min Hanrong said, Its one thing to go out, but someone has to arrange lunch. Tao Jing took the initiative. Ill arrange lunch at the inn. After saying that, she glanced at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu spoke up. Ill stay. The two daughters-in-law stayed while the mother-in-laws went out. This arrangement was very appropriate. Han Qianyes confident expression instantly became less confident. Why dont I stay too? Min Hanrong: ? Han Qianye was confident because she thought Li Xiwu would follow her out. However, when she heard that Li Xiwu was going to stay at the inn to arrange todays lunch, she immediately did not want to go. Min Hanrong asked, Cant you leave your daughter-in-law for a minute? Han Qianye said self-righteously, Thats right. Chapter 52 - 52 Han Qianye Wants to Be a Grandma 52 Han Qianye Wants to Be a Grandma Lin Yourong, who was watching the live broadcast, scolded the screen, Useless! At this moment, the useless Han Qianye walked to Li Xiwus side. Why dont Xiwu and I stay at the inn to prepare lunch for everyone? This arrangement was also very appropriate. Min Hanrong said considerately, Then its settled. Jingjing and I will go out. Qianye and Xiwu can stay in the inn. Xie Wen chimed in at the right moment. Ill stay too. Everyone knew that Xie Wen had brought her daughter here. The weather outside was dry and cold, so it was not suitable to take the child out for a stroll. One of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to stay at the inn, so everyone understood very well. After Group One, Group Two, and Group Threes Zheng Yuehua left, only Li Xiwu, Han Qianye, and Xie Wen were left in the inn. Everything had to be prepared in advance, especially for todays lunch. Li Xiwu had nothing else to do, so she went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes in advance. That way, when it was time to cook, time would not be especially rushed. Han Qianye wanted to go into the kitchen to help. However, looking at Li Xiwus smooth cooking movements, Han Qianye felt that she could only be of no help. Li Xiwu, who was cutting the vegetables, could roughly tell what Han Qianye was thinking. I can handle the cooking alone. If youre bored, go and tease Xie Wens baby. The baby is very cute. Han Qianye hesitated. She didnt like children. They were too noisy and annoying. She had never taken care of her own two sons and one daughter. It was mainly because the Pei family was rich. Each child had a nanny to take care of them. After she gave birth, she only cared about looking beautiful. However, since Li Xiwu had said so, Han Qianye still had to go even if she didnt want to. Then Ill go upstairs and take a look. Li Xiwu nodded and continued to cut the vegetables. When there were no missions, the live broadcast was very warm. It was all daily trivialities. Li Xiwu was halfway through cutting the vegetables when the phone page on the kitchen counter lit up. Someone called her. The director had said that work calls should be answered under camera as much as possible. Dont leave the live camera for too long before avoiding answering the phone when its really more important work. Li Xiwu wiped her hands on her apron and picked it up. It wasnt a work call, but She picked up the call. Pei Youans anxious voice came from the other end of the line. Sister-in-law! Save me! A life is at stake! Li Xiwus expression instantly turned serious. She lowered her voice. Whats wrong? Pei Youan said, The teacher caught me in a puppy love relationship! I have to call my parents! Li Xiwu: Although Li Xiwu did not have much contact with Pei Jingzhous two siblings, she had a good relationship with Pei Youan. Pei Youan was also the only person in the entire Pei family who recognized her as his sister-in-law. Pei Youan said helplessly, Sister-in-law, Im screwed this time Li Xiwu thought that Pei Youan had fallen for that girl, so she tried her best to lower her voice. Does your brother know? Pei Youan said, The teacher wanted me to call my parents. I begged her for a long time before she agreed to let me call my parents myself. Li Xiwu understood what Pei Youan meant. You want me to come? Pei Youan thought that the advantage of talking to his sister-in-law was that she would understand what he meant without directly pointing it out. If he talked to Pei Jiao, he would suspect that both parties IQ were possessed by huskies. Li Xiwu thought for a few seconds before telling Pei Youan, Youan, Im recording a variety show. Pei Youan asked, Is it that in-law variety show that you went to film with my mother? Li Xiwu said, Yes. Mother-in-Law Joy has been very popular recently. Many people knew about it, and Pei Youan was no exception. Pei Youan said pitifully, The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Sister-in-law, can you come to my school at two in the afternoon on behalf of my mother? The teacher said that if I didnt call my parents over, she would call them herself. If my brother and parents find out, Ill really be dead. Li Xiwu did not agree immediately. It was not a small matter for high school students to fall in love at a young age. He needed to be taught well. Pei Youan must have wanted her to go to school for a formality so this matter would be over. This way, Father Pei and Pei Jingzhou would not know, and Han Qianye would not know because Pei Youan believed that she would not say anything. Sister-in-law. You cant leave me alone. Actually, I can explain this matter of being caught in a puppy love relationship, but Teacher doesnt believe me. If I said that I was wronged, would you believe me, Sister-in-law? Besides, Im really wronged. Im screwed up So that was what he meant by screwed. She had misunderstood. Pei Youan probably did not hear Li Xiwus voice and was a little anxious. He complained a few times. Li Xiwu said, Theres a mission in the afternoon for the variety show. Ill come over after lunch. Is it okay at twelve? Thats great, thats great! Pei Youan said sincerely, Sister-in-law, I swear Ill take care of you in your old age. Li Xiwu was speechless. There was no need to say so early. C Xie Wens daughter had just woken up. Little Shenshen slept very contentedly. When she woke up, she was not noisy. She even made a babbling sound and played by herself. Xie Wen was mixing milk powder for her daughter with familiarity. Han Qianye stood at the side and watched. From time to time, she asked, Is the little darling noisy at night? Xie Wen replied to Han Qianye as she mixed milk powder, Its fine. Its not very noisy. Han Qianye nodded. Xie Wen took the milk powder and fed it to her daughter. At this moment, the camera was far away. Little Shenshen would not appear on screen, but it did not affect the perception of the live broadcast. Han Qianye followed. When she looked at the little pink ball in Xie Wens arms, she liked it a little. Xie Wen was good-looking, and her husband was probably not bad-looking either. He seemed to be an actor. No wonder this little pink ball was so beautiful. If Li Xiwu and Jingzhou had a child, it would probably look even better, right? Needless to say, it would definitely look good! No, no. Han Qianye, what are you thinking! You should hope that the two of them get a divorce quickly, not for them to have a baby. However, after these thoughts kept appearing in her mind, Han Qianye fell silent. She stayed here quietly for a while. The quiet child looked quite cute and she wanted to touch, hug, and kiss her. Looking at Xie Wen taking care of her daughter so carefully, Han Qianye blurted out, Its quite hard for you to take care of the child alone. Xie Wen was stunned for two seconds before saying quickly, Not alone. My mother-in-law helped me take care of her too. Han Qianye did not react in time, she continued, You were the one who packed all the baby supplies when you went out. You were also the one who changed her diapers. Isnt this hard? Xie Wen looked clearly nervous. No, Auntie Han. My mother-in-law is also taking care of Shenshen for me. The atmosphere froze for a few seconds. Han Qianye finally realized that she had said something she shouldnt have. She covered her mouth. Then she realized that it was too late to cover her mouth. She had said everything she shouldnt have. Chapter 53 - 53 Li Xiwu Finally Knows the Truth 53 Li Xiwu Finally Knows the Truth Han Qianye looked apologetic. Im sorry, I didnt know. Xie Wen smiled. Its fine. Han Qianye did not know that what she had blurted out without thinking would attract a lot of controversy. The netizens watching the live-stream quickly flooded the screen [Why did Han Qianyes words sound so strange just now?] [At first, I thought Han Qianye was a stupid mother-in-law who couldnt hide her intentions. Is she pretending?] [How scheming.] [Xie Wens mother-in-law is simply a model mother-in-law! Han Qianye doesnt know anything herself, and she even said that Xie Wens mother-in-law doesnt help Xie Wen take care of the child.] [Help! I just became Li Xiwus fan. Is the house about to collapse?] Han Qianye still did not know that the good impression she had gained from her unintentional performance was all gone because of her unintentional words. Li Xiwu, who was preparing dishes in the kitchen downstairs, still didnt know what had happened. All the ingredients in the kitchen had been arranged in advance by the production team. Li Xiwu prepared six dishes and stewed the soup in advance. Then, at eleven-thirty, she cooked the rice in advance. The six dishes for the time being were stir-fried chicken with ginger, braised Ankang fish, steamed meat with vermicelli, spicy stir-fried conch, ginger duck stew, and corn keel soup that was stewed in advance in a pressure cooker. Every time the cameraman was about to remind her as he thought that she would forget the dishes in the other pot, and would be burnt, in the blink of an eye, he saw Li Xiwu go over and stir-fry them. The cameramen and staff were dumbfounded. The two dishes last time were especially simple. They looked easy to make and there were no troublesome procedures. However, the six dishes this time were all hard dishes. Li Xiwu still made them without even looking at any recipes. She knew what to do every step. Director Gao touched his mouth in front of the monitor. I thought Miss Li had revealed her skills that day. I didnt expect her to have hidden them. The junior assistant swallowed. Miss Lis culinary skills are really not fake. I suspect that being an artist manager is just her side job. Her main job is a chef. Yu Jing clicked his tongue. Im also a fan of Mother Dragon. To be honest, other than being pleasing to the eye, Miss Lis cooking is indeed very Mother Dragons style. The junior assistant asked, Director Yu, do you think Miss Li imitated the essence? Yu Jing said, Lack too much. Gao Yueban didnt think much of it. Theres no such thing as an original method of cooking. Yu Jing lowered his voice. The two dishes, Braised Ankang Fish and Ginger Duck Stew, have both appeared in Mother Dragons video. Their cooking methods are exactly the same. The junior assistant asked, Does this affect anything? Gao Yueban said calmly, So what if its similar. The more everyone discusses this matter, the more popular the show will be. Its a good thing. Yu Jing looked at Gao Yueban. Its indeed a good thing. Miss Li will probably be criticized very badly. She brought popularity to the variety show. Yet, shell take the blame alone. Just as Yu Jing had thought. During the time Li Xiwu was cooking, the live-stream was very popular online. The number of online viewers exceeded four million. She was an ordinary person and was not a celebrity. She did not have any basic fans. Just by cooking a few dishes, the number of viewers online broke a new record. Such popularity was indeed very rare. [I like all six dishes. Hurry up and show off the dishes in my mouth.] [Its really rare for Mother Li to have such good culinary skills at such a young age.] [I announce that Li Xiwu is my mother!] [Who isnt here for the hashtag #MotherDragonSecondGen#?] [Li Xiwu is doing very well. Dont do it again.] [First, Han Qianye opened her mouth to spout nonsense. Then, Li Xiwu imitated Mother Dragons cooking twice. Such a cold bucket.] [The cold-bucket pair.] [The cooking method of Braised Ankang Fish is exactly the same. The order of the ingredients is the same. Youve learned it quite well. You must have watched the video of Mother Dragon more than a hundred times, right?] [I hope Li Xiwu has her own cooking style.] [Todays favorability towards Li Xiwu is negative one.] After Li Xiwu finished cooking, she washed her hands and let down her slightly messy hair. She combed it a few times before tying it up again. She wondered if she should take a shower and wash her hair later before going to Pei Youans school. While Li Xiwu was combing her hair, Han Qianye, who had come downstairs, happened to see this scene and her expression was confused for a few seconds. It was a little stuffy. Her figure is really good. No wonder my son is so confused. Who wouldnt be confused? She was confused, too. After Li Xiwu tied her hair, she looked up and saw Han Qianye looking at her intently. Li Xiwu shouted, Mom. Han Qianye was stunned. Not to mention the past few days of interaction, in the past three years, Li Xiwu had only called her Mom once. It was the day she went to Lake Lu after she found out about Li Xiwus existence. She had said very clearly: Dont call me Mom. I didnt acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law. Ever since then, Li Xiwu had never called her Mom again. Seeing that Han Qianye did not react for a long time, Li Xiwu washed her hands again and walked over to ask, Is Little Shenshen awake? Han Qianye replied in a daze, Shes awake. Li Xiwu nodded. Ill go up and take a look. Han Qianye stepped aside. Go on. After Li Xiwu went upstairs, Han Qianyes expression became quite subtle. Li Xiwu actually called her Mom? Hmph! Li Xiwu must have felt that she was recording a show. She couldnt just tell her not to call her Mom. Still This Mom was quite pleasant to the ears. C After Li Xiwu went upstairs to see Shenshen, she went to the director to ask for leave. Gao Yueban asked, Can you be back in an hour and a half? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Although Gao Yueban was curious about what was going on, he did not pursue the matter. He even handed the car keys to Li Xiwu. Drive my car. Li Xiwu took it. Thank you, Director Gao. Gao Yueban smiled and said, What are you thanking me for? Youve brought so much popularity to the variety show. I feel bad that you have to bear all the negative consequences yourself. Li Xiwus group was the most popular now. However, the controversy was also on this group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Li Xiwu drove out with her car keys and did not see Han Qianye. Thinking that time was tight, she left. She arrived at the Fourth High School. After registering and entering the school, Pei Youan came down to pick her up. Pei Youan had lost some weight and his facial features had grown a lot. The moment he saw Li Xiwu, Pei Youan cried. Sister-in-law, youre finally here to save me. On the way in, Li Xiwu first understood the situation. Tell me what happened. Pei Youan told Li Xiwu the general situation. The rough idea was that Pei Youan had received a love letter. He had received too many love letters and did not take them seriously. Later on, when the defendant sent them to the teacher, he found out that the girl had imitated his handwriting and written this love letter as a reverse confession. Now, that girl insisted that Pei Youan wanted to date her, and she was the one who was unwilling. She even said that he was very scared. So it led to this. After hearing this, Li Xiwu frowned. You said that the female classmates name is Chi Xia? Yes. Pei Youan looked unhappy. She actually said that her sister-in-law didnt like her brother in the past. In the end, her brother still took her down. After they got together, they were very loving. She even said that mental control was the easiest. She said that I was her exclusive. She was really sick. In the end, the negotiation broke down. She insisted in front of the form teacher that I was the one who wrote her a love letter. I didnt record what she said, so I couldnt explain it no matter what. Li Xiwu was silent. If she remembered correctly, Chi Xus sister was called Chi Xia? Lets hope its just the same name Chapter 54 - 54 Support You 54 Support You Fourth High School was the best high school in the capital. Pei Youan was just an ordinary student in school. Other than the principal who knew Pei Youans identity and background, the form teacher and the other teachers did not know about Pei Youans powerful background. Li Xiwu entered the office. There were two or three teachers sitting inside. They looked to be in their fifties and were very experienced. Pei Youans form teacher was in her fifties. She sized Li Xiwu up and asked, Who are you to Pei Youan? Her voice was strong and authoritative. Li Xiwu answered truthfully, Im Pei Youans sister-in-law. The form teacher nodded. Since ancient times, the eldest sister-in-law has always been like a mother. I have nothing to say. Since you represent Pei Youans parents, you have to take on the responsibility as their parent. Li Xiwu said, Go ahead. As they conversed, the bias in the form teachers tone was obvious. Pei Youans grades are bad, and hes at the bottom of every exam. Not only is he not focused on studying, but hes also focused on dating. Is this what he should do at his age? Chi Xias grades are so good, and her future is bright. Pei Youan is ruining Chi Xias future. After hearing this, Li Xiwu only said, Can I meet Chi Xia? Our Youan did something wrong. I want Youan to apologize to her seriously. When the form teacher heard this, she felt that Pei Youans eldest sister-in-law indeed had the demeanor of a parent. She didnt pester hrt like other parents and say that she was wrong or criticize her as she protected her child. Instead, she sincerely said that she wanted to apologize. In the past, there were parents of male students who slandered female students in all sorts of ways the moment they arrived. Their words were very unpleasant. Just based on Pei Youans parents attitude, the form teacher was very satisfied. The form teacher stood up. Wait a moment. Ill call Chi Xia over. Li Xiwu nodded. Okay, sorry to trouble you. The form teacher waved her off and left the office. When she went out and saw Pei Youan standing there obediently, she did not forget to reprimand him before leaving. Pei Youans expression was not good. When he looked up and saw Li Xiwu coming out, Pei Youan perked up and asked, Sister-in-law, how did your discussion with the Mediterranean go? Li Xiwu took a step forward and looked at Pei Youan, who was a head taller than her. She said slowly, Apologize to Chi Xia later. Pei Youan exploded when he heard this. Why should I apologize to her? She was the one who framed me. Shes sick. I think she should go to a doctor. There was also grievance in his voice. He did feel quite aggrieved. How could he have expected that casually accepting a love letter would cause him so much trouble that he would call his parents? The Pei familys upbringing was not strict, but Father Pei was relatively strict. Even if this matter was not Pei Youans fault, he was still afraid that it would alarm the family and cause even more trouble. That was why he asked Li Xiwu to come over and just go through the motions. Unexpectedly, she actually wanted him to apologize to that lunatic! So frustrating! Li Xiwu looked at Pei Youans angry expression and could not help but want to laugh. But it was indeed unkind to laugh like that. After all, it was such a serious matter. She took a deep breath. Ive already told your form teacher just now that you have to apologize and admit your mistake this time. If you dont apologize, my trip here today wont be of much use. In the end, theyll probably still report it to your parents. Pei Youan said aggrievedly, Sister-in-law, I thought you were here to support me. He was almost 1.8 meters tall and looked like a child when he was aggrieved. Li Xiwu suppressed the corners of her lips and said calmly to him, Although youre still a year away from adulthood, youre half a man, right? Think about it. If I really scold that girl called Chi Xia in front of you, do you think this is support? Pei Youan thought for a moment. No. However, he would be really unhappy if he apologized like this. Li Xiwu could understand his unhappiness. She looked up at Pei Youan and reminded him, When you apologize, you have to say that you have realized that you have caused a lot of trouble for the other party. Every word has to express your apology after deep reflection. Pei Youan: ? Forget about the apology, why did he have to sound so sincere? Pei Youan felt extremely aggrieved. Sister-in-law, are you really my biological sister-in-law! Li Xiwu said, Couldnt be any more fake. Pei Youan: .. Buzz. Her phone was vibrating. Pei Youan said, Sister-in-law, your phone is ringing. Li Xiwu took out her phone and looked at it. It was a WeChat message from Han Qianye: [Are you back?] Li Xiwu typed a reply: [About half an hour.] Han Qianye did not reply. Li Xiwu put away her phone. Pei Youan asked, Is it my mother? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. You saw? Pei Youan said, Sister-in-law, Im really afraid that you wont be my sister-in-law after you come back from the variety show. He knew that his mother did not like his sister-in-law. This time, his mother probably had ill intentions when she dragged his sister-in-law to the variety show. Just as he was thinking this, the Mediterranean form teacher brought Chi Xia over. Li Xiwu looked past the form teacher and at the girl behind her. She had a ponytail and was wearing the school uniform of Fourth High School. She was of medium height and looked very delicate. Li Xiwu sighed. Pei Youan immediately said, Sister-in-law, Im sorry. This has been hard on you. I apologize. Pei Youan thought that Li Xiwu sighed because he was disobedient and unwilling to apologize, making her feel troubled. But in fact, Li Xiwu sighed because she was sure. This Chi Xia was Chi Xus biological sister, Chi Xia. There was no mistake. Because she had seen Chi Xia on the day Xie Wen gave birth. At that time, she waited in the ward until Zheng Yuehua and Chi Xia arrived. When Zheng Yuehua found out that Xie Wen had given birth to a daughter, she was not in the mood to come to the hospital at all. After Chi Xia came, she called her sister-in-law. Chi Xia took the initiative to do what Zheng Yuehua was unwilling to do. At that time, Li Xiwu had a good impression of this little girl. At this moment, the Mediterranean form teacher brought Chi Xia over and said with a long face, Pei Youan, hurry up and apologize to Chi Xia! Chi Xia looked at Pei Youan and smiled smugly. After her gaze landed on Li Xiwu, her smile immediately disappeared. Li Xiwu saw the change in Chi Xias expression when she saw her. She took half a step forward. Pei Youan said that your name is Chi Xia, right? Chi Xias gaze drifted and she did not dare to look Li Xiwu in the eye. Yes. Li Xiwu introduced herself. Im Pei Youans sister-in-law. Chi Xia nodded, still not daring to look directly at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu said, Ive already understood the situation from your form teacher. Its an important moment to prepare for next years college entrance examination. Pei Youans actions have severely affected your preparation for the college entrance examination. Ive already reprimanded Pei Youan just now. He also deeply realized his mistake, so he wants to apologize to you. Hearing this, Chi Xia then looked up at Li Xiwu. After a moment of looking at each other, Chi Xia saw a kind smile on Li Xiwus face. Did she not recognize her? Chapter 55 - 55 Mind Is About to Collapse 55 Mind Is About to Collapse Li Xiwu shouted, Youan. Pei Youan reluctantly stepped forward. Under Chi Xias surprised gaze, he slowly said, Ive reflected on my mistake. This mistake was that I shouldnt have accepted your love letter. The form teacher pulled a long face. Rascal, youre still stubborn, right? You were the one who wrote nonsense to Chi Xia. Pei Youan was furious. She didnt do anything wrong. Its my fault. I shouldnt have been in her class. The form teacher glared at Pei Youan. Is this how you apologize? At this moment, Chi Xia said, Pei Youan, Ive only tutored you twice in English. I didnt expect my good intentions to cause me trouble. Actually, I caused this myself. It has nothing to do with you One moment, she said that she was not in the wrong, and the next moment, she blamed herself. Pei Youan felt like his mind was about to collapse. This girl was poisonous. The form teachers heart ached for Chi Xia. She turned around and said angrily, Pei Youan, apologize properly. Otherwise, you will be expelled from school if the matter is serious. Expel? Pei Youan wanted to laugh. His father invested ten million yuan a year in the Fourth High School. It must have been fed to the dogs, right? How dare they expel him! When Chi Xia heard from her form teacher that it was so serious that they were about to expel Pei Youan, her expression turned anxious. Mr. Yang, I accept Pei Youans apology. Although this matter had escalated to the point of calling parents, Chi Xia definitely did not want Pei Youan to be expelled. It wasnt that she was afraid of being exposed. Since she dared to do so, she wasnt afraid. However, she was afraid that Pei Youan would leave school. That way, she would not be able to see him! She had taken a fancy to Pei Youan, so he would always be hers. The form teacher sighed and said earnestly, Pei Youan, listen to this. Chi Xia is so understanding. Shes afraid that youll really be expelled, but look at you! What kind of person are you! Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Pei Youan. After receiving Li Xiwus gaze, Pei Youan let out a shaky breath and finally accepted his fate. Im sorry. I shouldnt have written such nonsense for you. I already realized that such behavior has caused you a lot of trouble. Im sorry, Chi Xia. This time the apology was sincere. After Chi Xias surprise, a hint of smugness flashed across her eyes. She thought that no one had seen her. After adjusting her expression, she said gently, Pei Youan, since youve apologized, lets forget about this matter. Pei Youan snorted. Li Xiwu patted Pei Youans arm gently. Pei Youans heart warmed. At this moment, Li Xiwu said, Chi Xia, thank you for your understanding. Dont worry, such a thing will never happen again. Chi Xia smiled. Sister is sensible. Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. After Chi Xia called her sister, she turned to look at Pei Youan. When she saw Pei Youans avoidant gaze, the smile on Chi Xias face gradually disappeared. Pei Youan! Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it sounded sinister to Pei Youan. He looked at Chi Xia. Ive already apologized. What else do you want? Chi Xia said, Lets forget about this matter. If theres a need in the future, Ill still forget about the past and tutor you in English. Pei Youan snorted. I Li Xiwu grabbed Pei Youans wrist. Youan, go in and apologize to the teachers again. Guarantee that youll study hard in the future and have a proper attitude. Pei Youan: ? Li Xiwu smiled. Go. Pei Youan: Although he didnt understand, he listened to Li Xiwu. The form teacher wanted to say that there was no need, but Pei Youans parents were so sincere that he could not reject them. After Pei Youan entered, Li Xiwu said to Chi Xia, Hurry up and go back to class. Chi Xia was not suspicious. She turned around and went back to class. Before she left, she did not forget to say, Sister, Ill leave first. Li Xiwu nodded. After Chi Xia left, Li Xiwu entered the office. Miss Yang, Youans temper has been easily irritable since he was young. This matter has caused you trouble. This time, I want to apply for leave for him. Ill let him go back and adjust his emotions before reflecting on himself. Pei Youan looked flattered! The form teacher did not want to let him go. After all, the time to prepare for the college entrance examination was precious now. However, Pei Youans parents attitude could not be found fault with from the beginning to the end. It would be unreasonable if they did not agree. After all, she was not the one who mediated the situation. How big of a fuss would this matter be? It would save her the process of writing a self-reflection letter. Moreover, tomorrow was Saturday. No matter how unwilling she was, she only nodded in agreement. Alright, Pei Youan. Go back and study hard. Li Xiwu did not ask Pei Youan to return to the classroom to get his bag. Pei Youan walked out of school with Li Xiwu with his head lowered. Until he got into Li Xiwus car, he still felt unreal. Li Xiwu said, Still doesnt feel real? Pei Youan came back to his senses and lowered his head. Sister-in-law, youre really closer than my biological mother. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Im tired of hearing you call me Mother. Pei Youan immediately raised his head. Who else calls you that? Li Xiwu said, Many. Pei Youan treated it as a joke and calmed down. As he fastened his seatbelt, he asked, Sister-in-law, why did you help me take a day off? I didnt even take my bag. Li Xiwus expression darkened. Prepare to transfer schools. Pei Youan, who was fastening his seatbelt, was stunned. Transfer? Li Xiwu said, Yeah. Pei Youans small head was filled with confusion. He felt like he was in the clouds. The moment his sister-in-law arrived at school, she resolved this matter through the most effective and simplest method. Although he had suffered a little, compared to letting his father and brother know, this little grievance was nothing. But now that the matter had been resolved, Sister-in-law actually said that she wanted him to prepare to transfer schools?? Pei Youan could not understand. Li Xiwu asked him, Has Chi Xia been harassing you for a long time? Pei Youan was surprised. Sister-in-law, how did you know? Li Xiwu inhaled. You just said that she chased you and pestered you. Pei Youan was speechless. It did seem like he had said it himself. But harassment was indeed more appropriate. There were many girls chasing him. Chi Xia was the only girl who was very clingy, but she was the kind of clinginess that others could not see. Li Xiwus tone was calm. Combining this matter, my current suggestion is that youd better transfer schools as soon as possible. Dont go back to school for the time being. Ill discuss the process of your transfer with your brother. Itll be as soon as possible. Sigh, thats why its better to go to a noble school. How can people born in Rome learn to run with ordinary people? Pei Youan looked at Li Xiwus serious expression and recalled the extreme things Chi Xia had done to him during this period of time. He did not notice it at the time, but now that he thought about it, it was terrifying. He suddenly understood why his sister-in-law wanted him to apologize and transfer schools as soon as possible. Chapter 56 - 56 Exposed! Exposed! 56 Exposed! Exposed! A few minutes later. Li Xiwu drove Pei Youan to a small Chinese courtyard. The Chinese courtyard was located in the suburbs of the capital, closer to Fu Town. It was surrounded by bamboo forest, fences, vegetable fields, and small gazebos. Pei Youan had never been here before. When he got out of the car, he looked shocked. Sister-in-law, what kind of paradise is this? Li Xiwu walked in front. Are you so surprised that you want to go back and write a Peach Blossom Origin? Pei Youan said, I only know how to write stories like Makka Pakka. Li Xiwu smiled and opened the door to lead Pei Youan in. Youre staying here tonight. Pei Youan looked around. Sister-in-law, when did you and Brother buy a Chinese courtyard here? Li Xiwu handed Pei Youan the key. I didnt buy it with your brother. A friend of mine bought it. Pei Youan did not take the key. Then is your friend a man or a woman? Will they come back to stay tonight? Im socially afraid. Why dont I stay in a hotel? This Chinese courtyard was beautiful. If the owner came back and he didnt know him, it would be so awkward to stare at each other. He might as well stay in a hotel. Li Xiwu stuffed the key into Pei Youans hand. Stay here in peace. She raised her hand to her wristwatch. Time was tight. She rarely comes back. Dont worry about running into her. Pei Youan asked, What if we meet? What if? Li Xiwu thought for a moment. Dont worry. She doesnt eat people. Pei Youan: Before leaving, Li Xiwu did not forget to remind Pei Youan, Theres a lot of food in the fridge and a lot of dry goods in the cabinet. Dont eat too much. By the way, dont go into the room thats locked on the left. Ill leave first. After giving her instructions, Li Xiwu hurried out the door. After Pei Youan reluctantly watched Li Xiwu leave, he began to size up the Chinese courtyard. C On the way back to the inn, Li Xiwu thought about her next countermeasure. There was something wrong with Chi Xia, but she couldnt just say it and suggest that Chi Xia go to a psychiatrist. If she said such a thing, the form teacher would probably treat her like an unreasonable parent. Without any evidence, she could only transfer Pei Youan away first. As for what happened next Li Xiwu took a deep breath. This was really tricky. Back at the inn. It was almost one in the afternoon. At this time, everyone had already had lunch. Li Xiwu entered the inn and did not see a single guest. There was only the sponsor who was arranging yogurt. What about them? Li Xiwu asked the staff. The staff said, Everyones gone up for their lunch break. The live broadcast had already entered an advertisement interlude that lasted for an hour and a half. When their lunch break ended, they would return to the live broadcast after two-thirty. However, there were also camera records during this period. From the moment Li Xiwu returned to the inn, she had already entered the recording. Miss Li. Li Xiwu looked up. It was Xie Wen coming downstairs. Xie Wen went downstairs quietly, afraid that the tapping sound would disturb the other guests during the lunch break. After going downstairs, she ran towards Li Xiwu happily. Li Xiwu subconsciously reached out. However, when Xie Wen arrived in front of her, she immediately stopped. Miss Li, did you think I would throw myself into your arms? Li Xiwu retracted her hand. No. The next second, Xie Wen went forward and hugged Li Xiwus arm. Miss Li, you dont mean what you say. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. You sure keep your word. Xie Wen couldnt stop giggling. Perhaps it was because of her exquisite makeup, but Xie Wens eyes were bright and charming when she smiled. She looked very young. Li Xiwu looked a little dazed and thought of Chi Xias mental state. Chi Xu was not that simple either. Moreover, to be honest, she did not know much about Chi Xu. This was because Chi Xu might have some small problems, but she could not find any big problems. There had never been any rumors spread that there were problems with his way of interacting with the production team. He was also quite motivated in terms of thinking, but he did not encounter any good opportunities. He did not shine in the entertainment industry and later fell in love with Xie Wen. Xie Wen asked her, Have you eaten before you came back? Li Xiwu shook her head. Not yet. Xie Wen stuck out the tip of her nose. I knew it. With that, she turned and went to the kitchen. Soon, two dishes were served to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu recognized that it wasnt what shed cooked for lunch today. She asked, Did you cook it? Xie Wen said, Miss Li, your culinary skills are too awesome. Weve already finished all six dishes at noon today. I saw that everyone had eaten two bowls of rice. I thought that you would definitely have to eat when you came back after settling your matters, so I cooked two more dishes for you. It doesnt matter even if you ate before coming back. Anyway, I wasnt full at noon today. After placing the dishes on the dining table, Xie Wen waved her hand. Miss Li, come here quickly. Li Xiwus heart warmed. She walked over and sat down. Xie Wen did it herself and scooped rice for Li Xiwu. Stir-fried meat and vegetables. This vegetable was stir-fried like you did last time. Its been warm in the pot for a long time. I wonder if it will affect the taste. Li Xiwu smiled and said, As long as the earthy smell is removed, it will taste good no matter what. Xie Wen rested her chin on one hand and watched Li Xiwu eat with a focused expression. If she was live-streaming now, her online viewership would definitely soar to the top. However, there was a recording and editing. When it was broadcast on the Wind Platform, the comments for this scene would also fill the screen. Xie Wen casually found a topic to ask, Miss Li, did you go out this time to solve your work problem? Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. Then, she found a topic and asked Xie Wen, When are you and Chi Xu holding a wedding? The smile on Xie Wens face froze. We have to wait until Shenshen is a year old. Both of us are quite busy now. Chi Xu said that when Shenshen is a year old, he will hold a wedding for me. Li Xiwu ignored the existence of the camera and said in a joking tone, Arent you worried that hes painting a big picture for you? Xie Wen shook her head. No. From the moment we got together until now, Chi Xu has done everything he promised me. He has responded to everything. Li Xiwu said, No wonder you insisted on being with him back then. Xie Wens other hand was flat and her thumb was pinched on her index finger. Li Xiwu noticed that just as the camera was about to point at Xie Wens hand, Li Xiwu reached over and covered it. Xie Wen was stunned. She looked up at Li Xiwu. She saw the gentle smile on Li Xiwus face. At this moment, Xie Wen thought how good it would be without the camera. Li Xiwu said, Both dishes are delicious. Youre thoughtful. Xie Wen smiled again. I used to be an idiot in life. You always said that as long as I knew how to stir-fry a dish, and knew how to cook rice. Even if I fell from grace one day, I wouldnt starve to death no matter where I went, so I learned cooking from you. The moment that was said, Gao Yueban, who was dozing off behind the monitor, suddenly woke up. His shocked reaction shocked the sleepy Yu Jing. Yu Jing glanced at him. Do you have sleep shock? Gao Yueban pointed at the monitor screen. Its been exposed. Yu Jing: ? Gao Yueban said loudly, Xie Wen just said that she learned her culinary skills from Miss Li! Chapter 57 - 57 Hubby Is Here 57 Hubby Is Here Yu Jing immediately perked up. In the previous episode, everyone was guessing if Xie Wen had learned her culinary skills from Li Xiwu. Most netizens did not believe it. It was not until Han Qianye ruined it and Li Xiwu had no choice but to cook personally that some netizens reluctantly believed it. But this guess had never been confirmed. And now, it was confirmed just like that, not in a live broadcast state. It was simply unexpected. Gao Yueban said to Yu Jing, You have to edit this scene well. Yu Jing said, You dont have to tell me. Gao Yueban said, By the way, Miss Li just came back. She probably doesnt know the arrangements for tonight. With that, Gao Yueban woke up the little assistant who was sleeping like a dead pig beside him. Still sleeping? Your mother is getting married. The junior assistant was in a daze. Its going to rain. Mother is getting married. What choice do I have? Gao Yueban reached out and pinched the junior assistants nose. Unable to breathe, the junior assistant opened his eyes. Director Gao? Gao Yueban said, Miss Li didnt come back for lunch today. Hurry up and inform her about tonights arrangements. The junior assistant said, Director Gao, I cant breathe. Gao Yueban retracted his hand. Go, go. C On the other side. Li Xiwu was halfway through her meal. The junior assistant beside Director Gao came over and handed her a mission card. Li Xiwu put down her chopsticks and opened it to look at the mission card. After reading it, she calmly folded the mission card and placed it aside before continuing to eat. Xie Wen asked, Miss Li, are you happy? Li Xiwu said, Im happy. It was fake. She couldnt get happy. On the mission card were the arrangements for this afternoon. The four groups of daughters-in-law had to call in advance to inform their husbands to come to the inn during their lunch break. However, the final effect had to be the daughter-in-laws showing a surprised face when they saw their husbands. It was a proper script. Therefore, the part where the junior assistant handed her the mission card would be cut. Group One, Group Two, and Group Threes husbands would definitely come. After all, ever since the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law participated in the recording of this variety show, they knew that just like the first season, their husband would appear in one or two episodes. Then there was the scene of the young couple spending the entire day with their mother-in-law. Not only did the audience want to see the couple interact with their mother-in-law, but they also wanted to see the young couple interact with their mother-in-law. If there were no conflicts between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, would there be conflicts between the three of them? The flow of views that the variety show wanted to catch was quite accurate. However, this mission was impossible for Li Xiwu. Because Pei Jingzhou would not come to this variety show. She was very sure. Miss Li Xie Wen hesitated. Li Xiwus tone was steady. Speak freely. Were talking about a mission scene now. Itll be cut. Xie Wen glanced at the camera. Ive already called Chi Xu. He moved all his scenes for the past two days. I thought it was tomorrow, but the director arranged it for this afternoon. Li Xiwu ate her food. Chi Xu is coming to the variety show. No wonder youre very happy. Xie Wen smiled much more gently. Yes. Li Xiwu pondered for a moment, then inexplicably said, Did he say such words? Xie Wen asked without thinking, What words? Li Xiwu looked up into Xie Wens eyes. You belong to me alone. Xie Wens expression froze. Li Xiwu didnt care if this scene would be cut at all. She continued, Ive met many beautiful girls. Youre the only one who moves me and Im willing to guard you for the rest of my life. Everyone else wants something from you. Im the only one whos really good to you. Ive never been so attentive to anyone. Dont ever leave me. Id rather die without you. With every word Li Xiwu said, Xie Wens expression darkened. The more she spoke, the uglier Xie Wens expression became. Li Xiwu looked straight at Xie Wen. I want to use one of the sentences I just said as a personal signature. Which sentence do you think is better? Not only did Xie Wens expression turn ugly, but her pupils were also slowly dilated. Her lips seemed to be trembling. Li Xiwu put down her bowl and chopsticks and reached out to hold Xie Wens hands. Arent they all quite good? Is it difficult to choose? Xie Wens lips trembled. E-every single one is good. Li Xiwu smiled. You belong to me alone. What about this line? Xie Wen was not stupid. Knowing what Li Xiwu was telling her, her mood was in chaos. She immediately stood up. Ill go up and take a look at Shenshen. Li Xiwu let go. Go ahead. Xie Wen ran upstairs. After Xie Wen left, Li Xiwus expression darkened. Looking at the food in front of her, she instantly lost her appetite. Chi Xu was coming. She had to perk up. C Upstairs. Han Qianye had been in her room and did not know that Li Xiwu had returned. She lay on the bed, holding up her phone. It had been almost forty minutes since she had sent Li Xiwu a WeChat message. She wondered if she should call her directly. When she finally made up her mind to call Li Xiwu, Lin Yourong called. Han Qianye picked it up. Rongrong. Lin Yourong asked, How did the recording go today? Han Qianye said whatever she thought. I feel that my daughter-in-laws culinary skills are awesome! Lin Yourong: ? Han Qianyes feelings came from the bottom of her heart. However, she was puzzled. Didnt the cooking auntie at Lake Lu say that Li Xiwu never cooked? She couldnt figure it out, so she stopped thinking and shared it with Lin Yourong. By the way, Li Xiwu called me Mom on the show today. Lin Yourong sighed. Yes, and then? Han Qianye could not suppress her excitement. I think its quite nice. Lin Yourong: You make it sound like no one has ever called you Mom. You have two sons and a daughter. Han Qianye said, Thats different. Lin Yourong asked, How is it different? Han Qianye said, Li Xiwu called me that. After being speechless, Lin Yourong said, Are you crazy, or have you been drugged by Li Xiwu? Han Qianye replied seriously, No. Then, she continued to share with Lin Yourong, Rongrong, let me tell you, I think Li Xiwu is like a superhuman. She made six dishes this afternoon. Shes too awesome. Lin Yourong said angrily, If you can cook, youre Superman? Do you have a misunderstanding about Superman? Oh, youre right. Han Qianye immediately reacted. Its still different from Superman because Supermans underwear is on the outside. Lin Yourong: ! By the way, Han Qianye said. Lin Yourong interrupted, Youd better get down to business. Business, business, Han Qianye said hurriedly. Im thinking, what if my son doesnt come to the variety show? Lin Yourong said, Isnt that perfect? Han Qianye said, Whats so good about it! When the time came, everyone elses husbands would be here except for Jingzhou. Han Qianyes heart ached inexplicably when she thought of Li Xiwus disappointed expression. C C Chapter 58 - 58 Shes Really Too Considerate 58 Shes Really Too Considerate Han Qianye, youre finished. Lin Yourong spoke loudly, afraid that Han Qianye could not hear her. Han Qianye asked, Finished? Me? Lin Yourong reminded her, Have you forgotten your ultimate goal in dragging Li Xiwu on this in-law variety show? Han Qianye said seriously, I didnt forget. Lin Yourong said in a resentful tone, Then tell me yourself. Han Qianye asked, Say what? Lin Yourong: Previously, it was Han Qianye who hung up first. This time, Lin Yourong was so angry that she hung up first. Han Qianye did not mind and wondered why Rongrong was so anxious. It must be autumn. The weather was dry and people were a little heaty. She thoughtfully composed a WeChat message and sent it to Lin Yourong: [If youre heaty, you have to brew Indigo Root to drink it. The effect is the best.] After sending the WeChat message, Han Qianye sighed. As her best friend, she was really too considerate. She looked at the time. It had been more than fifty minutes since she sent Li Xiwu a WeChat message. Han Qianye suddenly stood up. She had to go downstairs and take a look first. Perhaps Li Xiwu had already returned. Han Qianye stomped downstairs and looked around the entire hall. She only saw a huge grapefruit on the dining table and did not see Li Xiwu. Her expression immediately became disappointed. Why isnt she back yet Han Qianye frowned. She picked up her phone and was about to call Li Xiwu when someone called her from behind, Qianye? C Ten minutes ago. After Li Xiwu finished eating, she prepared to wash the bowl and rest for a while. While she washed the dishes, someone came to the inn to sell fruit. The person who came looked to be in his early fifties. He came in with a grapefruit in each hand. He looked around and asked in a loud voice, Do you want to buy grapefruit? Li Xiwu looked up. A grapefruit? The person said, I heard that the inn is recording a variety show. There are a lot of people, so I brought two over to take a look. Do you want grapefruit? It wasnt arranged by the production team? For a moment, Li Xiwu wasnt sure. She washed her hands and wiped them clean before walking over. Is this grapefruit sweet? Han Pin said, Its not that sweet. Li Xiwu: Han Pin said, Business is all about integrity. Its indeed not very sweet. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, Can I try it before buying it? Of course. Han Pin enthusiastically took out half a grapefruit from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiwu. Try it. Li Xiwu took it. I thought I could taste that grapefruit youre carrying. Han Pin chuckled. Its all the same. Li Xiwu: She could answer on any occasion. Only this time, she could not say anything. Before the grapefruit entered her mouth, her saliva glands began to secrete crazily. Li Xiwu frowned after eating a little. Han Pin asked her, Im not lying to you, am I? Li Xiwus expression soured into a mask of pain. Han Pin asked, Are you buying it? Ten yuan each is equivalent to selling it cheaply. Li Xiwu: Logically speaking, she wouldnt even want such a gift. Li Xiwu didnt know which house in town the other party was from or how far he had walked. Then Ill buy one. Han Pin chose the largest of the two grapefruit for Li Xiwu. Alipay or WeChat? Li Xiwu said, WeChat. Han Pin grinned. That would be best. After paying, Han Pin said, Why dont we add each other on WeChat? If you want to eat grapefruit, buy it from me. Itll be delivered. She could add him on WeChat, but she probably wouldnt buy any grapefruits. Li Xiwu placed the grapefruit on the dining table and wiped her hands. Seeing that Han Pin was about to leave after promoting a grapefruit, she stopped him. Mister, what other fruits do you have at home besides grapefruit? Han Ping stood at the threshold. In addition to grapefruit, there is also grapefruit. With that, Han Pin asked, What fruit do you want to eat? My neighbor planted a little of all kinds of fruits. If you dont mind me being the middleman, Ill bargain for you. If I cant bargain, Ill help you steal some to try. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Mister, do you have kumquat? The kumquats were delicious this time of year. Han Pin smiled and said, My family has it, but Im not selling it. Li Xiwu asked, Can I try it? Han Pin was open-minded. Of course. Hence, Li Xiwu brought the cameraman out to Han Pins house. Other than the cameraman, Director Gao also went. Director Gao sat in his room for the entire afternoon. His butt hurt from sitting. He asked Yu Jing to keep an eye on it. When the time came, he had to broadcast on time. Then, he followed them to Han Pins house. He wouldnt know until he went. But he was shocked. Han Pin, who was carrying two grapefruit to promote, was actually the richest family in town. He lived in a big villa. Li Xiwu asked casually, Has Mister always been in Fu Town? Han Ping said, No, I used to live in the First Ring. Director Gao couldnt help but add, Yo, staying in the First Ring. The rent is extremely expensive. Han Pin turned around and glanced at him. Rent? I didnt rent it. Gao Yueban: ? Han Pin said, Although the house I used to live in was relatively old, the courtyard is still considered big. Its good to live there. If it werent for the demolition later, I wouldnt have moved to Fu Town to enjoy my later years. Gao Yueban couldnt help but speak up just now. Now he couldnt keep his mouth shut. Demolition? What house? Han Pin said, A Siheyuan. Han Pin said, Oh, its two Siheyuans. Han Pin said in a neighborly tone, Not much. Just a few billion. Gao Yueban coughed awkwardly. Ive never seen more than a billion yuan in denomination when Im offering to my ancestors. Li Xiwu continued Gao Yuebans words. Director Gao, this kind of large denomination of hell money is no longer manufactured much. I heard that its not universally used below. Now, its all burned yellow paper. Gao Yueban: C Han Ping was a very easy person to get along with. He said that he was the only one staying in the entire villa these few days. The rest of the family had gone to visit their relatives. And he was also bored. When he heard that the inn was recording a variety show, he came over with grapefruit. Li Xiwu picked a dozen kumquats. Because she had to rush to the live broadcast, she could not stay long. Gao Yueban was the director and had the right to decide. In the end, he decided to start a live broadcast at Han Pins house. The main reason was that he wanted to stay here for a while longer, and Han Pin was very willing. However, Li Xiwu was the only one in the live-stream of Group Four. Han Qianye was still at the inn. Director Gao went to call Yu Jing and asked him to tell Han Qianye the location and ask if Han Qianye was willing to come over. Yu Jing said, Miss Lis mother-in-law is probably almost at your place. The assistant brought her here. Gao Yue was surprised. What? Theyre already here? Little Li. On the other side, Han Pin walked over with a purple pot in his hand. Are you done picking them? Li Xiwu replied, Mister, I didnt pick them all. Theyre quite sweet. You can try a few. Han Pin took a sip of tea and said, Youre interesting, girl. However, you might have to change the way you address me. Li Xiwu looked up at Han Pin. Han Pin looked unfathomable. Just call me Uncle. Li Xiwu: ? Chapter 59 - 59 The Mystery of the Past 59 The Mystery of the Past Han Ping was tall and handsome. When he laughed, he was amiable. When he wasnt smiling, he looked a little dignified. Li Xiwu felt that he was like an old king who had retired from a high position all year round. Li Xiwu said tactfully, Its more appropriate for me to call you Mister. Han Pin took another sip of tea. Alright, call me whatever you like. I dont care. Just as he finished speaking, someone was shouting outside. Li Xiwu? Li Xiwu?? Li Xiwu recognized Han Qianyes voice. She said to Han Pin, Mister, Ill go out for a while. Han Pin smiled meaningfully. Go, go. Li Xiwu turned and went out. Gao Yueban asked the cameraman to adjust the live broadcast. Li Xiwu came out and saw Han Qianye standing outside the iron gate of the villa. She walked over. As soon as she approached, she heard Han Qianyes anxious voice. I heard that you left with an old man selling grapefruit. I thought youd been kidnapped and scared me badly. Do you know that Ive been chasing you all the way here? The big iron gate of the villa was closed. They would go in and out through the small door on the other side. Li Xiwu opened the small door and came out. When she saw Han Qianye, who was filled with worry for her, she said apologetically, When I went out, I thought you were resting, so I didnt call you. Han Qianye walked over and chattered non-stop. I havent rested since. I waited for you for a long time but you didnt come back. I went downstairs to look for you and heard that you had left with an old man selling grapefruit. I changed into a pair of flat shoes and ran over. What if you were kidnapped? I How am I going to explain it to my son! Li Xiwu pursed her lips. The more Han Qianye spoke, the angrier she became. Dont you know that you cant leave with strangers when the adults are not around? Li Xiwu: Han Qianye said, Dont you know that there are many liars these days? They especially lie to little girls like you who dont have any adults around. She said, When the time comes, theyll trick you to a remote mountain village and lock you up to have children with the single men there. You wont be able to escape even if you cry. Li Xiwu: Han Qianye said a lot in one breath. It was obvious that she was really angry. She was so angry that Li Xiwu did not tell her that she had gone out. Li Xiwu listened quietly. When Han Qianye finished, she asked, Are you thirsty? Han Qianye swallowed and realized that her throat was extremely dry. She took the time to answer, A little. Li Xiwu said, Then lets go in and have a glass of water. Han Qianye: ? She was very angry. However, Li Xiwu seemed to have no temper, making Han Qianye lose her temper. At the same time, Han Pin, who was in the villa, heard a woman call him a human trafficker from afar. He wanted to laugh, but he couldnt help but laugh. He raised his head and took a sip of tea, but he choked. Ahem, ahem, ahem! Han Pin coughed violently. He thought to himself, This is Fu Town after all. It has long been listed as a key protected area of the country. Where did so many human traffickers come from? He saw Little Li lead Han Qianye in. Han Pin cleared his throat and said firmly, The house is deep and cold. Those who come need to be sincere. It was an imposing statement. Li Xiwu and Han Qianye stopped at the same time. Han Qianye asked, Does that mean Im not welcome? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. No. Han Qianye said, I heard it, but why does this voice sound a little familiar? Li Xiwu looked at her. Sounds familiar? This sentence was familiar. Li Xiwu remembered that the mister who sold grapefruit had inexplicably said that she should call him uncle Just as she was thinking, Han Qianyes surprised voice sounded in her ears. Whoa! Why are you here? Li Xiwu looked up in surprise. Han Pin walked over with a smile and imitated Han Qianyes tone. Whoa, why cant I be here? Li Xiwu: Director Gao: The netizens who had rushed into the live-stream a minute ago: ??? [Whats going on?] [Is this the new guest? Looking at his age Could he be Han Qianyes husband??] [No this man looks a little familiar.] [Which veteran actor is this?] [The first season is the daughter-in-laws husband on a variety show. Could it be that the mother-in-laws husband is on a variety show in the second season?] [If the husbands of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are all on variety shows, Ill look forward to it.] [I study political law. To be honest, I think hes a little like the big shot in our book.] [Damn, I just saw a comment saying that the man who appeared on screen today seems to have been in a political law textbook???] [He cant be that] [That big shots surname is Han. If hes really that person, and Han Qianyes surname is also Han Damn! Not only is Han Qianye a noble lady, but her biological brother is also] The comments on the screen were going crazy. The number of online viewers in the live-stream had also increased from 100,000 to 800,000. Soon, it would exceed a million. Li Xiwu could not see the comments, so she naturally could not guess Han Pins identity. However, in the short conversation between Han Qianye and this mister who sold grapefruit, she could clearly feel that the two of them knew each other and should be very familiar with each other. She turned and went in first. The live camera also fell on her alone. She first put the kumquat she had just picked in a small bag. While doing this, her mind was not idle. She was thinking about how to let Xie Wen take the first step out of Chi Xus control as soon as possible. As long as she took the first step, it would be easy after that. C Outside. Han Qianye asked Han Pin to speak off camera. There was no one else around. Han Qianye asked, What are you doing here? Han Pin smiled kindly. I knew that my good nephew was married, but I have never seen my nephews wife. I watched the live broadcast. Not bad, not bad. I just happened to have a villa in Fu Town, so I came over to take a look at my nephews wife. Han Qianye said, Just watch the live broadcast. Why are you here? The smile on Han Pins face disappeared. Han Qianye, am I embarrassing you here? Han Qianye said angrily, You made me look very silly here. Han Pin laughed out loud. Hahahaha! Han Qianye said, Why are you still laughing? If the audience knew your identity and compared me to you, wouldnt I be embarrassed? Han Pin: Hahahahaha! Han Qianye: Everyone in the Han family was outstanding. From Han Qianyes parents to her two brothers, they were all very outstanding. Only she did not have many achievements. In the end, she married a wealthy man. After laughing enough, Han Pin returned to the topic. To be honest, this nephews wife looks quite like Old Lis daughter. At the mention of Li Huaisheng, there was no smile on Han Pins face. There was only reverence and admiration. Han Qianye frowned. They just look alike. Han Pin sighed. Think about those years. Jingzhou could free up more than a hundred days a year to fly to Thailand. If not for that accident, Jingzhou and Little You would have married long ago. Han Qianye gestured for Han Pin to stop. Alright, its not like you dont know that Little You has already Chapter 60 - 60 Wagging the Flag for Li Xiwu: Youre My God!! 60 Wagging the Flag for Li Xiwu: Youre My God!! Han Qianye was unintentionally worried. Although she had never liked Li Xiwu, she had never mentioned Little You in front of her. In the past, she had thought it didnt matter if she mentioned it. Now, it was best not to mention it. Especially when she thought about how Li Xiwu had been Little Yous substitute for three years and was even chased away by her, the mother-in-law, she felt a little upset. Why dont After the recording of this variety show was over, she would introduce Li Xiwu to a boy who had no relationship experience and no first love in his heart. His appearance must be worthy of Li Xiwus looks. After making up her mind, Han Qianye turned around and reminded him, Dont say anything you shouldnt. Han Pin smiled. Do you think I dont know this? Han Qianye said, Im just afraid that you wont understand. Little You is Little You. Xiwu is Xiwu. Dont mix them up. Han Pin said, Are you scheming again? Han Qianye said, None of your business. Han Pin: This sister of his who had always wanted to be strong. Han Qianye realized that she had been away from the live broadcast camera for a few minutes. She hurriedly rushed in and reminded Han Pin as she walked, Remember to control your mouth. Dont talk nonsense. Han Pin was speechless. At this moment, Li Xiwu had already packed the kumquats. Han Qianye came in and asked, What are these kumquats for? Li Xiwu said, To eat. Han Qianye choked and asked, What I mean is, how do I eat it? Li Xiwu smiled. How do you want to eat it? Han Qianye thought for a moment. I dont usually eat kumquat unless I make kumquat lemon tea. Li Xiwu asked, Do you want to drink kumquat lemon tea? Han Qianye said casually, Can I drink it if I wanted it? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Yes. When Li Xiwu said the word yes, Han Qianye seemed to see a light shining on Li Xiwu. Her entire body was emitting light. She was stunned for a moment before she realized. You know how to cook? Li Xiwu took out three of the kumquats shed just bagged. Ive never done it before, but I can try. Han Qianye looked very calm. But in her heart, she was already waving the flag and shouting for Li Xiwu: Youre my god!!! C Li Xiwu took the kumquats and the peeled grapefruit in the fruit basket to look for Han Pin. Mister. From afar, Han Pin heard Little Li call him and looked over. Whats wrong? Li Xiwu asked, Can I use your kitchen? Han Pin walked over excitedly. Of course. The kitchen is this way. On the way in, the live camera recorded the spaciousness of the entire villa. The kitchen was huge. There were all kinds of kitchen utensils. The netizens watching the live-stream were even more dumbfounded. [To have such a big villa in Fu Town, this is no longer a matter of money. Uncle, do you still lack a son?] [Please take a picture of the nanny room. I want to see my work environment.] [Is there a lack of lions at the door? If yes, Ill squat.] [No need to guess, everyone. This is my biological father, who has been separated for many years.] [The more I look at him, the more I feel that this uncle is like the big shot in my books!] [Can you reveal Uncles surname?] C The method of making kumquat lemon tea was very simple. The kumquats seeds were removed from the kumquats and squeezed into the juice. They were poured into the green tea that had been brewed and cooled. As the kumquats were generally sour, if the tea was too hot, it would not taste too good. But if it was added with ice in the summer, it would be very quenching. After that, she added the right amount of syrup, covered it with a lid and shaked it evenly. There were no disposable cups here, so Li Xiwu filled them with glasses. Before pouring into the glass, she should put two lemon slices in first. But since there were no lemons, Li Xiwu replaced them with sour grapefruit. Han Qianye asked, Is this grapefruit not sour enough? Li Xiwu divided a piece of grapefruit meat and handed it to Han Qianye. Try it. Han Qianye did not think too much about it and stuffed the grapefruit meat Li Xiwu had given her into her mouth. The next second, a painful expression appeared on Han Qianyes face. Li Xiwu was originally quite calm. When she saw Han Qianyes expression, she immediately couldnt hold it in and laughed unkindly. Han Qianye gritted her teeth. Why is this grapefruit even sourer than a lemon? Li Xiwu also said, Its ten yuan a piece. Before Han Qianye could recover from her grimace, she heard Li Xiwu say that it was ten yuan a grapefruit. She said angrily, How immoral. Ten yuan a grapefruit. Han Pin walked over. Immoral? Han Qianye turned to look at Han Pin. Did you trick Xiwu into spending ten yuan to buy that grapefruit at the inn? Han Pin said seriously, What do you mean by trickery? Its so unpleasant to hear. I could have just robbed her, but I still gave her a grapefruit. Han Qianye stuffed the remaining piece of grapefruit in her hand to Han Pin. If you eat it, Ill give you a hundred. Han Ping smiled and pushed her away. I dont have any good points. One of them is that I have a little money. You should eat it yourself. One was almost in her fifties, the other in his late fifties. Yet, they spoke like children. Li Xiwu handed the finished kumquat grapefruit tea to Han Qianye. Alright, grapefruit replaced lemon. Try it and see how it tastes. Han Qianye quickly stopped talking and reached out to take the kumquat grapefruit tea from Li Xiwu. Han Pin looked envious. Little Li, do I have one? Li Xiwu smiled. Yes. She turned around and poured a cup for Han Pin. Other than Han Qianye and Han Pin, Li Xiwu also poured a cup of kumquat grapefruit tea for the director and cameraman, as well as the assistant who had sent Han Qianye over. When Li Xiwu returned to the kitchen, Gao Yueban said to the junior assistant, See, if you follow Miss Li, your mouth would be blessed. The junior assistant happily drank the kumquat grapefruit tea. How did Miss Li grow her hands? Not only can she cook well, but she can also make drinks. If she starts a business, she can do whatever you want in the catering industry. Gao Yueban did not refute and even agreed. C Kumquat grapefruit tea itself was a must-have drink in summer. It was late autumn, and most of the drinks people drank were hot. Because Li Xiwu had made kumquat grapefruit tea under the live camera, under Li Xiwus influence, the beverage shops were doing very well today. Even the kumquats and grapefruit in the supermarket sold well. Many people wanted to learn Li Xiwus method and make it themselves. The business opportunity came. Many merchants had taken a fancy to Li Xiwus current commercial value and had already begun to call the show. Meanwhile, Pei Youan, who was comfortably in the Chinese courtyard, was watching the live broadcast of Mother-in-Law Joy on his phone. When he saw his mother happily drinking the kumquat grapefruit tea that his sister-in-law had personally made, his expression was filled with indescribable envy. I want to drink. But he couldnt drink it. He exited the live broadcast for the moment and got up. For the fifth time, he went to the cabinet to get snacks. The cabinet was filled with snacks that were all handmade. When Pei Youan opened the cabinet at first, he was like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. He was dumbfounded. The place his sister-in-law had brought him to was not only a paradise on earth, but also an endless supply of delicious snacks. Theres no other happiness than this in life. How could he not share it? Hence, Pei Youan turned on his camera and took a few selfies. Half of his face and a cabinet of handmade snacks were in the selfie. He posted on Weibo. He thought of it as sharing his mood. But he didnt expect this Weibo post he casually posted to be trending Chapter 61 - 61 Exposed 61 Exposed Pei Youan did not like to post on WeChat. He liked to browse Weibo and share some of the joys and routines he felt he could share. For example, a jersey signed by James, a pair of joint edition sneakers with only ten pairs in the world, a seat in the first row of tickets for a Chinese music superstar concert Every Weibo post was so simple and low-key. His simple and low-key Weibo sharing also attracted more than a thousand fans. Handsome to the Point: [Mom!!! (JPG)] There were six accompanying photos. After Pei Youan posted this on Weibo, it was half an hour before the fans saw them one after another. The comments one after another on Weibo: [There was a loud bang in the sky. I appeared.] [Young Master has finished school? Young Master has worked hard at school today. What is Young Master eating tonight?] [From James jersey to paying attention to Young Master, only this time, Young Masters sharing is truly honest and low-key.] [There are so many snacks. Young Master cant finish them all.] [Damn! Why does this background look so familiar? Isnt this the cabinet where Mother Dragon stored pure handmade snacks? Even the sealed jars are placed exactly the same.] [Arent those two cans of handmade pork jerky made from Mother Dragons sixteenth video? Even the label is the same.] [I thought Young Masters sharing this time was really simple and low-key. I was naive.] [I wasnt envious in the past, but I am envious after seeing this cabinet of snacks. Mother Dragons snack cabinet ahhhh.] [The document is Your biological mother! So Young Master, your biological mother is Mother Dragon?!!!] [Ive been following you for so long. Youre actually Mother Dragons son?] Countless comments were visible to the naked eye, mainly because many people had forwarded it and even brought hot words related to Mother Dragon. Before long, it was trending. Then, it became sixth on the trending list. An eye-catching post called #Suspected Son of Mother Dragon Exposed # attracted countless netizens to click on this trending topic. After the fans of Mother Dragon finished reading this Weibo post, they were all suspicious at first. Some netizens said: [Its photoshopped, right?] Some netizens said: [An identical snack cabinet after copying from the photo of Mother Dragon.] There were even netizens who said: [The reason why Mother Dragon is called Mother Dragon is because she cooks very well, not because shes already so old.] These doubts gradually fell silent after the netizens flipped through Pei Youans Weibo posts. James-signed jersey. The first row of tickets for the concert of a superstar in the music industry. Wearing a pair of shoes that starts at six figures. The young master of a rich family! Soon, the style of the comments changed. [I admit that I barked a little too loudly just now.] [Although its only half a face, I can vaguely tell that its my boyfriend.] [If this is Mother Dragons son, everyone knows how a son takes after his mother, right? How beautiful is Mother Dragon herself?] [About the Idol I Chase Became a Plot in a Novel] [Wuwuwuwu Mother Dragon is married and has such a big son??] [Ive been paying attention to Mother Dragon until now. I always thought that she was only 25 or 26 years old. This kid is probably 18 if not 16. Damn! Mother Dragon is already in her thirties this year.] [Pass it down. Mother Dragon is married. Her son is 18 years old. Im heartbroken.] The heated discussion on the Internet spread very quickly. Pei Youan went to take a dump and went out for a walk. When he returned, he saw that there were 999+ messages on Weibo. Pei Youan: ? Whats going on? What happened? The phone was actually still ringing. Damn Whats wrong with my Weibo? Pei Youan hurriedly picked up his phone. Weibo-related notifications were still popping up. Every time he posted on Weibo, he would usually have a few comments. It was not to the extent of turning off the message notifications. What was going on today? Why were there so many messages? When he opened Weibo and took a look, he was shocked. I took a photo of a snack cabinet and its actually trending?! C At this moment, Li Xiwu, who was recording a show, still did not know that she had a son and was trending. She and Han Qianye were already on their way back to the inn. Han Pin did not follow them, mainly because his appearance in the live broadcast today had already blown up some netizens guesses about his identity. Although he had already retired and lived his life in luxury, too much had been exposed. If those students knew that he was so carefree, they would definitely call him. However, Li Xiwu and Han Qianye did not know that after they left, Han Pin called Pei Jingzhou. At this moment. Han Qianye was still holding the cup of kumquat grapefruit tea. She drank it as she walked, not losing a milliliter. Li Xiwu glanced at her. If it doesnt taste good, pour it into the trash can by the road. Han Qianye did not say that it was good, nor did she say that it was bad. She held it very firmly and said, Dont worry about it. Li Xiwu could only stop talking. After shed poured grapefruit tea for everyone, there was a little left. She tried it herself. The taste was barely okay. Han Qianye didnt drink it. She probably didnt like kumquat grapefruit tea very much. After all, she had said kumquat lemon tea at the beginning. As they walked, Han Qianye suddenly said, Thats strange. Ive finished reading the wild protected animal knowledge book, but I havent encountered another wild protected animal. Did you see it on the way here today? Li Xiwu said, No. Han Qianye muttered, How strange. Li Xiwu explained, After late autumn, most wild protected animals will enter hibernation one after another. Some are still storing food for the winter, and some will migrate to the south. Han Qianye: Was it such a coincidence? She had just finished reading the wild protected animals knowledge atlas when these wild protected animals went into hibernation? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Theres another possibility. Its pure luck. Han Qianye: [The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law CP I was on is now called [Strange Combination].] [Its clearly [Brainless and Unhappy Combination] [The first three groups of husbands have already arrived at the inn. Why hasnt Li Xiwus husband appeared yet?] [I feel that Li Xiwus husband should be very ordinary. Perhaps hes a big-bellied company CEO?] [Dont tell me Li Xiwus husband isnt coming?] The person involved, Li Xiwu, had almost forgotten that the daughters-in-laws husbands were coming to the variety show this afternoon. She and Han Qianye slowly walked back to the inn. Although they did not talk much along the way, compared to when they first entered the variety show, at least the atmosphere was not as quiet as before. After returning to the inn, Li Xiwu understood why Han Qianye had not drunk much of the kumquat grapefruit tea along the way. She had brought it back to the inn to show off. Min Hanrong said, Qianye is back. Han Qianye immediately said, Hanrong, how did you know that I was drinking grapefruit tea? Min Hanrong: ? Han Qianye showed off even more. This is the grapefruit tea Xiwu made for me. Its delicious. Min Hanrong: Min Hanrong turned to ask Li Xiwu, Xiwu, wheres your husband? Li Xiwu was stunned for a moment before she realized that the husbands of Group One, Group Two, and Group Three should be here. Without changing her expression, she replied, Hes too busy to leave. Min Hanrong could not ask further and just smiled. Li Xiwu turned around and went upstairs, planning to give the kumquats to Xie Wen. As she turned around, Li Xiwus expression suddenly froze. She looked up at the man who was coming down the stairs Chapter 62 - 62 So Considerate and Gentle 62 So Considerate and Gentle The man who came downstairs was Chi Xu. Just a few hours ago. The husbands of the daughters-in-law of Group One, Group Two, and Group Three had already arrived at the inn one after another. Other than Li Xiwus mysterious husband, who had never appeared. At that time, every live-stream was very popular. However, the first three groups were popular because their husbands were here. Li Xiwus group was popular because they were making grapefruit tea in the villa. There would be a lot of comments: Why didnt Li Xiwus husband appear? There were several questions on the screen. At this moment, Chi Xu, who had come downstairs, greeted Li Xiwu. Hi, Miss Li. Li Xiwus expressionless face lit up with a gentle smile again, making it impossible to tell anything. Chi Xu, when did you arrive? Chi Xu replied, I arrived half an hour ago. Miss Li wasnt at the inn at that time. The inn was heated, so it was not that cold. Chi Xu was wearing a black high-collared cashmere sweater and black pants. Before he went on the variety show, he had carefully taken care of his appearance. He exuded the aura of an aloof and handsome man. Chi Xus facial features were indeed very good. He was undeniably handsome at a glance. When he smiled, he was sunny and handsome. When he didnt smile, he had a cold face. Even when he spoke to people, his attitude and tone were appropriate. No one who had interacted with him, be it staff or colleagues, had ever disliked him. Even Li Xiwu could not find much fault with Chi Xu back then, but he had gotten Xie Wen pregnant too early. She was very angry that Xie Wen had given up her career too early. After greeting each other and a short conversation, Chi Xu said, Wenwen wants to eat fruit. Ill cut a fruit plate for her. With that, the gentleman turned sideways to make way for Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu kept smiling. Okay. She had a lot on her mind on the way upstairs, and it was difficult to relax her frown. Knock knock knock C She knocked lightly on the door. Xie Wen came to open the door. When she saw that it was Li Xiwu, her eyes lit up. Miss Li, youre back. Her voice was not deliberately restrained, which meant that Little Shenshen was awake. Li Xiwu hefted the small bag in her hand. I picked a few kumquats and came back. Drinking fresh kumquat juice can stop coughing and reduce phlegm. Its also good for the spleen and appetizing. That day, she went to Xie Wens house and ordered food from the Qingwei Pavilion. Xie Wen ate very little and was physically and mentally tired from taking care of the child. Her appetite was also very poor. Xie Wen took the kumquats and was moved. Miss Li Li Xiwu was not here to stir up emotions. She changed the topic and asked, Wheres Shenshen? Xie Wen immediately invited Li Xiwu in. Shenshen is playing by herself. When Chi Xu teased her just now, the entire floor was filled with Shenshens laughter. Li Xiwu walked in. Zheng Yuehua was not in the room. Only Xie Wen and Shenshen were there. At this moment, Shenshen was lying on the bed, moving her limbs in the air. She looked very lively. The toy in her hand accidentally fell. Xie Wen picked it up and Shenshen immediately grabbed it and continued to wave it around. Li Xiwu turned to look at Xie Wen. She noticed that Xie Wen had let down her hair, which she had been tying up. It was soft and loose behind her shoulders, but it was in the way. She raised her hand to brush it away several times. She remembered that whether it was a chance meeting that day or a variety show recording, Xie Wen had always had her hair tied up, or had a young girls bun and occasionally tied their hair in a high ponytail. However, she tied her hair in a bun more often to prevent her daughter from catching her hair. Li Xiwu walked over and said, It looks good with your hair down too. Xie Wens eyes were clear and bright. Chi Xu said the same thing. He likes me with my hair down. The faint smile on Li Xiwus lips faded. So you let your hair down because he came? Xie Wen was surprised that Li Xiwu would continue asking, but since it was a variety show, it was normal to find a topic to talk about. She also told Li Xiwu openly, The first time he saw me was when I was about to enter the production team for filming. I dyed my hair back to black. At that time, I was taking selfies with my hair down. He said that he had always been impressed. Li Xiwu listened intently. And? Xie Wen didnt elaborate. I didnt dye my hair much after that because he didnt really want me to. Li Xiwu suddenly said, Ive been considering dyeing my hair recently. Why dont we make an appointment and dye it together? Xie Wens expression was clearly tempted. At this moment, Chi Xu, who had brought in a fruit platter, said, Theres no need to dye it. Wenwens black hair is the best. Li Xiwu and Xie Wen turned at the same time. Chi Xu walked over with the fruit platter and handed it to Xie Wen. Every piece is very small. Eat more. Xie Wen smiled sweetly. Okay. Li Xiwu casually said, In the past, Xie Wens hair color was casual and varied. She could control almost any color. I think Xie Wen looked very good when she dyed chestnut and tawny. Of course, red and pink were also very good. I remember that year, Xie Wen dyed red and pink. At that time, she directly became the top trending topic among female celebrities. These memories had been in Xie Wens mind. Of course she remembered them all. Xie Wen was about to say something. I Chi Xu interrupted casually, Those colors are all very good, but the most suitable for Wenwen is still black. After all, black will never go out of style. Li Xiwu looked up at Chi Xu. Black is never outdated, but its not the most suitable. Chi Xu did not continue. He thought that Li Xiwu did not like him, so she kept refuting. He didnt take it to heart. After handing the fruit platter to Xie Wen, he took the initiative to pick up her daughter. Im here to take care of Shenshen. Talk to Miss Li. [Help! Chi Xu is really considerate and gentle.] [No wonder Xie Wen insisted on giving birth to his child back then. Such a good man cant be found even if you miss him.] [I feel that Sister Li is a little nosy today.] [On the account that Li Xiwu brought Xie Wen kumquats, I wont curse her. I hope she mind her own business.] Her pink hair was indeed eye-catching, but Xie Wen is already a mother. How can she dye it so out of line? Shes too delinquent.] [Wenwen, listen to your husband. Ignore Li Xiwu.] [Tao Jing and her husband went out for a walk. Chi Xu took care of the child the moment he arrived. Xu Muzhen is also with her husband. Only Li Xiwu is alone.] [Its possible that Li Xiwus husband is too ugly to be on camera.] [Han Qianyes family might be a little powerful, but her in-laws are probably just so-so. Theyre not even considered wealthy?] Netizens spoke freely in the comments. Only a few people who did not speak clearly felt that Li Xiwus speech had another meaning when they were watching the live broadcast. However, they still had to take a comprehensive look. If they only discussed hairstyle and hair color, it would not escalate to some overly controlled behavior. Li Xiwu went downstairs. She realized that Zheng Yuehua was pulling the other three groups of mother-in-laws to have afternoon tea and chat. Zheng Yuehua was very experienced. She was talking about the difficult times in the past. For example, how capable she was when she was young. She took care of the children and did housework alone. Min Hanrongs heart ached when she heard that. Xiang Lan was also very impressed. Han Qianye drank the unfinished cup of grapefruit tea without changing her expression. Li Xiwu was alone and could not participate in the topic of her mother-in-law. She planned to return to her room. She was about to turn away. Someone came in and called her, Miss Li, someone is looking for you. Chapter 63 - 63 Pei Jingzhou Is Here 63 Pei Jingzhou Is Here Li Xiwu did not have any hopes that Pei Jingzhou would come. It was impossible for a famous person like him to be on such a variety show. It was precisely because she knew her limits that she did not call Pei Jingzhou. Now that someone suddenly came in to inform her that someone was looking for her outside, Li Xiwu could not help but think of Pei Jingzhou. He didnt even know. How could he be here? However, before seeing him, Li Xiwu was not sure that it was him. She composed herself and went out. The cameraman followed her. The live-stream maintained its original live broadcast. However, the number of viewers online was less than half of the number at Han Pings house. [Could it be Li Xiwus husband?] [No way, no way. I have to see a big-bellied CEO?] [Chi Xu is the most handsome man among the husbands in this episode. Li Xiwus husband is probably at the bottom.] [Chi Xu is not only good-looking, but he also dotes on his wife the most. I wont accept any rebuttal.] [Tao Jings husband, Wu Jiacheng, is also quite handsome, especially when he wears sunglasses. Hes very cool.] [Xu Muzhens husband is tall and thin. He looks like a scholar from ancient times.] [I hope Li Xiwus husband isnt too ugly.] Li Xiwu walked out. Seeing a sneaky figure in front of her, she raised her eyebrows and hesitated for a few seconds before walking over. The sneaky persons head darted around. The moment he saw Li Xiwu, he immediately ran over. He shouted as he ran Sister-in-law! Li Xiwu never expected it to be Pei Youan. He had a cap on his head and a mask on his face. He had covered himself well to come to Fu Town and even found the inn. Li Xiwu asked, Why are you here? Pei Youan noticed the camera and cameraman. His mouth under the mask closed a little as he whispered, Im in trouble. Li Xiwu: ? Pei Youan handed the phone to Li Xiwu. Sister-in-law, take a look first. Li Xiwu had a bad feeling. She took the phone. It was the trending page on Weibo. A post called #Suspected to be Mother Dragons Son Exposed # appeared very eye-catching in front of Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu: Son? She had a son? Li Xiwu raised her hand and tapped on the screen in confusion. After roughly understanding the cause and effect of the matter, she returned the phone to Pei Youan and asked, How did you come to Fu Town? Pei Youan said, Theres a bicycle in your yard. I rode it over. Li Xiwu said, Then how did you get into Fu Town? Nowadays, one has to make an appointment online to enter Fu Town. Logically speaking, Pei Youan would not enter so easily. Pei Youan said honestly, Fourth High Schools student ID. Student ID? Yeah. Li Xiwu did not expect that he could enter with his student ID. As if sensing her surprise, Pei Youan explained, It has to be the Fourth High School. Otherwise, theres no way. [I was stunned when the young man appeared. I f*cking thought this was Li Xiwus husband!] [So its her brother-in-law.] [Everyone, focus. The Fourth High School is the best high school in the entire capital apart from the elite schools!] [What did brother-in-law take to show Li Xiwu? Li Xiwus expression immediately became very solemn.] [Could it be that Li Xiwus husband cheated on her and her brother-in-law came to tip her off?] [I think I saw a green light on Li Xiwus face.] [Brother-in-law is a good person. He really tipped Sister-in-law off when his biological brother cheated.] [No, why does everyone think that Li Xiwus husband cheated?] [Li Xiwu is too miserable. Her expression was serious for a moment, and it was said that her husband had cheated on her. This batch of netizens is too good at fantasizing.] The live-stream was filled with controversy. Pei Youan looked at Li Xiwus serious expression and said sadly, Sister-in-law, Im sorry to have troubled you again. Li Xiwu looked up at him and saw Pei Youans self-blame and guilt. She comforted him, Its not as troublesome as you think. Pei Youan did not believe her. When Weibo exploded, he had a feeling that it was not a small matter. At the same time, he went to search for the blogger called Mother Dragon and watched all her cooking videos. He realized that things were not that simple. The small courtyard he lived in was actually the small courtyard of a short video food blogger with more than ten million fans on a certain short video platform. This blogger was called Tyrant Dragon and was known as Mother Dragon. She was very popular and her works were very popular. He didnt know anything. He just took photos and posted Mother Dragons snack cabinet, where he was recognized by countless sharp-eyed fans. Now everyone said that he was Mother Dragons son!!! Li Xiwu said to Pei Youan, Dont worry too much. Go back first. Ill deal with it later. Pei You said, But Li Xiwu raised her lips. Its really nothing. I can handle it. By the way, do you like to eat snail noodles? Pei Youan nodded crazily. I like it. Li Xiwu said, Theres snail noodles under the cabinet. Cook them yourself tonight. Pei Youan subconsciously wanted to ask, Sister-in-law, did you make it He almost let it slip, but stopped himself in time. Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Pei Youan had watched Mother Dragons video of her making snail noodles today and his mouth watered. He was so lucky. Now, there was another truth in front of him: His sister-in-law was an internet celebrity!!! After watching Pei Youan leave, Li Xiwu returned to her room at the inn. Without the camera around, she opened her social account on the short video. C Time passed in a flash. It was almost six in the evening. There was no need for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to enter the kitchen tonight. The production team had thoughtfully prepared a sumptuous dinner. The four mother-in-laws had already sat down. Tao Jing and her husband, Wu Jiacheng, walked in hand in hand. Wu Jiacheng was very tall, estimated to be 1.85 meters. He thoughtfully pulled out a seat for Tao Jing and the two of them sat together. Min Hanrong introduced him to the other three mother-in-laws. This is my son, Jiacheng. Wu Jiacheng nodded politely and greeted, Good evening, aunties. Zheng Yuehua said, Hanrong, your Jiacheng is really tall. Min Hanrongs eyes lit up. Right? Jiachengs bones have developed since he was young. When he was in his third year of high school, he was already 1.75 meters tall. Han Qianye thought to herself, Whats this? Her youngest son is almost 1.8 meters tall in his third year of high school. Moreover, her eldest son was 1.8 meters tall in his third year of high school. He was now 1.88 meters tall! After that, Xu Muzhen and her husband, Liang Sheng, walked over hand in hand and sat down. Xu Muzhen was a chatterbox. Liang Shengs personality was like his mothers. He was relatively shy, but he was not boring. He was very polite and gave a good first impression. In the end, Chi Xu held Xie Wens hand and went downstairs together. Currently, Chi Xu was indeed responsible for the looks of this seasons Mother-in-law Joy. Courtesy demanded reciprocity. Min Hanrong praised, Yuehua, Chi Xu is so handsome. Sooner or later, he will become popular with a drama. Zheng Yuehua was unhappy when she heard that. So her son is not popular now? Although it was the truth. Li Xiwu was alone when she went downstairs. Everyone had a tacit understanding. After all, they all knew that Li Xiwus husband was not here. If they asked again, it would be poking at the wound. However, Zheng Yuehua deliberately asked, Xiwu, why isnt your husband here? Li Xiwu looked calm. Hes too busy. At this moment, Han Qianye stood up and walked to Li Xiwus left to sit down. Its a little crowded with three people. Its just nice for us. [Li Xiwu is so miserable. Only her husband didnt come.] [Guess if her husband is really too busy?] [Didnt a netizen say in the afternoon that Li Xiwus husband cheated on her? Li Xiwus expression was very ugly at that time?] [Li Xiwus husbands looks are probably not presentable.] [The rich ones are the Han family. Han Qianyes marital family must be ordinary. Im very sure.] [What rich lady? Its too fake.] The comments were intense. Other than Xiang Lan, the other mother-in-laws present all looked like they were watching a joke, but they didnt make it obvious. Han Qianyes expression was solemn and she was very angry. Li Xiwu was calm. She did not care about this. Just as Zheng Yuehua was about to fan the flames and say something, a cold voice sounded Sorry Im late. This sudden voice made everyone turn around curiously. Li Xiwu was even more stunned. Chapter 64 - 64 Hes Actually Li Xiwus Husband!! 64 Hes Actually Li Xiwus Husband!! Just when everyone thought that Li Xiwus husband would not come Pei Jingzhou had appeared! Without any warning, he appeared in everyones vision. At this moment, he was walking towards Li Xiwu step by step. Everyone present was dumbfounded. This-this man was Li Xiwus husband? Gao Yueban, who was sitting in front of the monitor painting, stood up in shock and muttered, Damn, this big shot is here The junior assistant was curious. He lowered his voice and asked, Director Gao, is Miss Lis husband very influential? Yu Jing clicked his tongue. Dont you have some judgment? Even if you dont know him, look at his aura. Its not something ordinary people have, okay?! Yu Jing was right. Even if one did not know Pei Jingzhou, just looking at Pei Jingzhous aura, it was not an aura that ordinary people could see. Meanwhile, under everyones extremely surprised and shocked gazes, Pei Jingzhou, who was walking over, pulled open the seat to Li Xiwus right and sat down elegantly. He was wearing an expensive suit and a very formal Windsor knot. Although it looked too formal, no one would think that he was deliberately pretending to be here. Instead, it was more like he had just come from Vanity Fair and was in a hurry to participate in his wifes variety show. And it was. Li Xiwus body stiffened. When she glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou, he happened to be looking at her. Their eyes met. Pei Jingzhous face was expressionless, but his eyes were gentle. For a moment, Li Xiwu felt that the scene in front of her was an illusion. Pei Jingzhou was actually here? She had indeed not expected this. Besides, she hadnt called him, had she? Or was he watching the live broadcast? Li Xiwu took a deep breath as her thoughts raced. At this moment, his clear voice sounded in her ear with an apology. Im a little late. Dont be angry. Li Xiwu was stunned again. Although she restrained her emotions, her instinctive reaction was sometimes uncontrollable. She inhaled again and asked in a steady tone, Finished? Pei Jingzhou said, I came over after Im done. At this moment, the comments went crazy [Ahhh, this is Li Xiwus husband?] [Im sorry, Li Xiwu!! I admit that my barking was a little too loud just now!!!] [I wont say who was handsome that made me faint.] [My face hurts! Li Xiwus husband is too handsome!] [There are two people in bed. One is me, and the other is me, because Im split. I really didnt expect Li Xiwus husband to be so handsome!] [Who said that Li Xiwus husband is a big-bellied greasy man? Come out and Ill give you two earwax!] [If Li Xiwus husband was a little uglier, I would definitely scold him when he came so late. How can I scold him when he looks like this? Ill just scold myself!] [Li Xiwus husband is the one responsible for the good looks, right? And hes so good-looking!] [U1s1, with Li Xiwus husbands looks, are you sure you wont consider debuting?] [Raise your hand strongly. I suggest that Sister Li support her husbands debut!] The moment Han Qianye saw her son arrive, it was no exaggeration to say that she seemed to see Di Jia appear against the light. Unknowingly, an old mothers smile appeared on her face. She thought to herself, Fortunately, its not that bad. Her son was here. Xiwu would be in a better mood, right? Han Qianye quickly changed the topic and introduced warmly, This is my son, Jingzhou. Other than Xie Wen, no one present could remain calm. Zheng Yuehuas expression was the stiffest. Just two minutes ago, she was deliberately mentioning that Li Xiwus husband was not here. Now, she has been slapped in the face. Not only was her husband here, but he also looked so imposing. Min Hanrong spoke first. Qianye, where did your Jingzhou work? Why did he look a little familiar? Min Hanrong could not remember. However, she felt that she had seen Li Xiwus husbands face once on a certain occasion. It was not on some occasion in the entertainment industry, but on a business occasion. She just could not remember it. Pei Jingzhous expression was calm. R.E. Min Hanrong fell silent when she heard R.E. Zheng Yuehua quickly followed Min Hanrongs topic and asked, What position? Pei Jingzhou did not show any impatience. Management. Zheng Yuehua looked enlightened. Oh that means executive, right? Pei Jingzhou said, You can interpret it that way. Zheng Yuehua thought that he was not that powerful. So he was just an executive. She was so frightened that she thought he was very important. In that case, Han Qianye and her daughter-in-law could not be considered wealthy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, right? [Li Xiwus husband can become an executive at such a young age?] [If I remember correctly, R.E Group seems to be the fourth largest financial company in the world?] [Isnt R.E. the Pei Corporation?] [R.E. is not the Pei Corporation, but its from the same family as the Pei Corporation. I think to be able to become an executive at R.E, how capable must he be?] [Should I say it or not? I seem to have seen Li Xiwus husband on the financial channel? Could it be that Li Xiwus husband has already achieved a lot as an executive?] [Someone, wheres my intelligence army?] Tonight, the production team had prepared a sumptuous dinner. There was a mushroom stewed chicken that was closer to Li Xiwu. Pei Jingzhou saw it and calmly changed the mushroom stewed chicken with the dishes in front of him. Li Xiwu noticed his behavior and glanced sideways at him. After Pei Jingzhou swapped places, he took the folded tissue beside him and wiped his hands elegantly. Li Xiwu raised her lips and said in a low voice, Why didnt you call? Ill come out and pick you up. What she meant was: Why didnt you tell me when you came over! I was caught off guard just now. Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips. Blame me? Li Xiwu: ? Pei Jingzhou said, Why dont I remind you? Li Xiwu: If he hadnt watched the live broadcast, he wouldnt have known about this today. The other guests were accompanied by their husbands, but Li Xiwu acted as if nothing had happened. She did what she had to do, as if her husband was just for show. If she had looked a little lonely, he wouldnt have been so depressed. C The atmosphere of this dinner was very good. The conversation during the meal never stopped. Li Xiwu had a medium appetite and mainly ate more vegetables. She was not deliberately losing weight. Min Hanrong and Tao Jing, who were in Group One, also ate less. Xiang Lan controlled her diet very strictly. She did not eat a single grain of rice at night and only ate some vegetables. Xu Muzhens appetite was not bad and she ate two small bowls. Xie Wen drank the kumquat juice Li Xiwu had given her this afternoon. It was rare that her appetite was not bad at night. Chi Xu had also been serving Xie Wen and was very considerate. After dinner. The production team had arranged for fruit scoop and freshly squeezed juice. There were all kinds of flavors. The deputy PD handed them a small mission card: Activate Memory Chat Mode. Their respective mother-in-law did not have to participate much. They mainly listened and let either son or daughter-in-law tell the story of the two of them knowing each other. It was a very warm segment. It was also the segment the netizens wanted to see the most. Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou. It was obvious that she and Pei Jingzhous love story would probably be made up. Chapter 65 - 65 Dying of Sweetness 65 Dying of Sweetness Pei Jingzhou sensed Li Xiwu looking at him. He glanced sideways and met her gaze. Li Xiwu looked straight at him without avoiding eye contact. Its emotional and melancholy to think about our past. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Emotional? Li Xiwu crossed her arms and rested her chin on one hand. Im emotional about the years weve been married. Pei Jingzhou wanted to laugh. Wheres the melancholy? Li Xiwu adjusted her expression. Melancholy Fourth Brother came too late today. Does that count? Pei Jingzhou said, Yes. Li Xiwus lips curved. She thought that the topic would end here, but Pei Jingzhou added solemnly, I shouldnt have put work first, so Im late today. Next time, Ill definitely be the earliest. Li Xiwu inhaled and looked up at him. Was this person trying to optimize his image of being late today? [I can tell. Li Xiwus husband has the symptoms of Henpecked.] [Im dying of sweetness.] [If I had such a handsome husband, I would scold myself when we quarrel.] [Li Xiwu is still very natural with her husband.] [Hes so handsome. I looked at his face the whole time.] [The key is that Li Xiwus looks match her husbands. Its amazing.] [With their looks, they must have given birth to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight children.] [College students are here to read the novel scene again.] [Its my turn. This is the life after the ending of the hero and heroine of the novel.] [Im looking forward to the process of Sister Li and her husband getting to know each other.] [Originally, I wanted to hear the story of Xie Wen and Chi Xu the most. Now, Im eager to hear the story of Sister Li and her husband.] The online netizens were all reduced to Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhous dogs by their appearances. It was mainly because of Pei Jingzhous appearance and the fact that he had become a corporate executive at such a young age. He was simply the dream lover of many young girls. However, in terms of status, Wu Jiacheng was still better. After all, Min Hanrongs husband, Wu Jiachengs biological father, was a rich man in Xiangjiang. This was a true wealthy family. And then, they started with the first group. Wu Jiacheng raised his hand and talked about how he and Tao Jing had met and fallen in love. It was a warm and sweet story. When Wu Jiacheng talked about the story of him and Tao Jing falling in love, he did not forget to mention Min Hanrong solemnly. Back then, I knew Jingjing. The matchmaker was none other than my mother. Min Hanrong was suddenly called out by her son. She smiled warmly at the camera. Wu Jiacheng mentioned that back then, after his mother returned from a concert, she handed him a note. On the note was Tao Jings phone number. She said, This is Miss Taos phone number. WeChat is synchronized. I suggest you add her on WeChat first. At that time, Wu Jiacheng only felt puzzled. It was easy for him with a family background like his to get a girlfriend. It wouldnt be a problem to change one every day. Why did his mother always introduce him to a girlfriend? However, it was a number his mother had specially given him. Even if Wu Jiacheng was perfunctory, he still added this WeChat. At that time, he thought that he would just add her on WeChat and that there was no need to contact her. Until one day, Tao Jing posted a recording of the concert on her WeChat Moments. He casually swiped it and clicked on it. Only then did he realize why his mother had taken the initiative to be this matchmaker. Tao Jing was completely his ideal other half. After that, he took the initiative to send Tao Jing a WeChat message. They chatted on WeChat for a while, but they never met until another concert. Wu Jiacheng made time to go to that concert with his mother. In reality, that was the first time he had officially seen Tao Jing. After that, the two of them interacted more. They had only gotten married last year. Speaking of which, they were still newlyweds. After Wu Jiacheng finished talking about how he and Tao Jing had met and fallen in love, he quietly took out a small box from his pocket. Tao Jing covered her mouth with her hands. She was clearly surprised. She probably did not expect this segment at all, so when she saw Wu Jiacheng open the small box, tears flickered in her eyes. Inside the box was a pink gold watch from Vacheron. [This is the charm of being rich.] [Its good to be rich. A watch is half a billion. I cant earn more than half a million yuan.] [Id think it was an advertising sponsorship if it was another brand.] [Tao Jing and her husbands relationship is so sweet.] At this moment, under the live broadcast camera. Wu Jiacheng took out the watch and personally put it on Tao Jing. Youre never used to carrying your phone with you. Its not convenient to look at the time. If you wear the watch, you can look at the time at any time. Tao Jing pouted. I cant help being pretentious when youre like this. Wu Jiacheng smiled dotingly. After Xu Muzhen was done being envious of Tao Jing, she looked at her husband expectantly. Liang Sheng smiled. I dont have one. Xu Muzhen: Arent you going to give me something? Liang Sheng said, There is. Xu Muzhens eyes were starry. What? Liang Sheng said, Ill send you away beyond thousands of miles. Xu Muzhen: Their interaction amused everyone. At this moment, Liang Sheng took out a little brick from his pocket and handed it to Xu Muzhen. You should have changed it long ago. Xu Muzhen noticed the logo on the little brick and felt helpless and amused. Liang Sheng, you took advantage of the show to make me change my phone. Inside the little brick was a phone. Xu Muzhen used the old phone in the variety show. Because she was nostalgic, she could not bear to change it. She did not expect Liang Sheng to prepare a new phone for her! Shocked and pleasantly surprised! Liang Sheng smiled. You dont say. I really think so. Xu Muzhen hammered his chest. Hmph! Xu Muzhen and Liang Shengs interactions were more natural and closer to reality. Even the smile on Xiang Lans face did not stop. However, Liang Sheng was more shy. It was easy to stutter if he spoke too much. Xu Muzhen would tell their story. After hearing the story of Xu Muzhen and Liang Shengs relationship, Tao Jing said, You really almost missed each other. Xu Muzhen held the new phone and sighed. Yes, we were really so close to not being together. In high school, I had a crush on him and he had a crush on me, but neither of us knew. He never spoke to me. I thought he was cold and I was afraid of rejection. After all, after a confession, a crush would become a heartbreak. The story of Xu Muzhen and Liang Sheng had indeed almost become a regret. Fortunately, Xu Muzhen found out from her friend who had graduated for many years that Liang Sheng had a crush on her back then. Then, she took the initiative to look for Liang Sheng. Then the two of them got together. Li Xiwu felt emotional when she heard that. Fortunately, God would eventually arrange for those who were fated to be together. Then she glanced sideways at the man beside her. Pei Jingzhou should be very bored now, right? However, it was not convenient for her to speak. She opened her phone and sent Pei Jingzhou a WeChat message: [Fourth Brother, have you thought of a story about how we met and fell in love?] Pei Jingzhou saw his phone vibrate and ignored it. Li Xiwu cleared her throat. Pei Jingzhou looked at her. Fruit or juice? Li Xiwu gestured at him with her eyes. Pei Jingzhou understood. He picked up his phone and opened WeChat. After reading Li Xiwus WeChat message, he typed a reply: [Just tell the truth.] Li Xiwu looked down at Pei Jingzhous reply and her heart sank. Chapter 66 - 66 Childhood Sweethearts 66 Childhood Sweethearts There was nothing to say about her acquaintance with Pei Jingzhou. An agreed marriage was even less honorable. Therefore, when Pei Jingzhou replied to her that hes going to tell the process of how they met and fell in love truthfully, Li Xiwu did not feel depressed. Could it be that he had to say in front of millions of netizens watching online that she and Pei Jingzhou were getting married by agreement? Would the two of them part ways after recording this variety show? While her thoughts were running wild, Pei Jingzhou held Li Xiwus hand. Li Xiwu looked down. Her gaze landed on the back of Pei Jingzhous hand. She took a shallow breath and pulled her hand out to get the pomegranate on the table. The pomegranate broke into four petals, but the pomegranate seeds were not peeled. However, Li Xiwu preferred to peel them herself. She peeled one and ate it calmly, listening to the love story of Chi Xu and Xie Wen getting to know each other. Pei Jingzhou then took a petal of pomegranate and peeled it. Li Xiwu had just noticed when Pei Jingzhou placed the peeled pomegranate seeds in her hand. Li Xiwu: ? C After Xu Muzhen and Liang Shengs love story ended, it was Xie Wen and Chi Xus love storys turn. [Im just waiting for Xie Wen and Chi Xu. Im looking forward to it.] [Wheres the baby? Does anyone take care of the baby?] [Someone must be taking care of her. Otherwise, the baby is asleep.] [I saw on the live broadcast today that Chi Xu fell in love with Xie Wen at first sight.] [Unless theyre childhood sweethearts. Most relationships these days are love at first sight.] [There are very, very few childhood sweethearts who can get together now because there will always be someone who will snatch one.] [Im too obsessed with childhood sweethearts. Unfortunately, none of them are childhood sweethearts today.] [Childhood sweethearts will always be my greatest of all time!] [Is it possible that Li Xiwu and her husband were childhood sweethearts?] [Its obvious that Li Xiwu and her husband are love at first sight who was introduced by friends. They cant be childhood sweethearts.] The netizens made wild guesses. At this moment, the two of them had yet to decide who would tell the story of Xie Wen and Chi Xu getting to know each other. Xu Muzhen said, Sister Wenwen, tell me quickly. Im really curious about how you and Brother Xu met and how you became lovers. Xie Wen smiled and turned to look at Chi Xu. Go ahead. Chi Xu smiled dotingly. Its the same if you said it. Min Hanrong teased, Yo, yo, yo. Look at this young couple. Theyre all embarrassed. Xu Muzhen looked expectant and said, Why dont you do it, Sister Wenwen? Just as Xie Wen was about to agree, Chi Xu said, Let me do the talking. Everyone looked at Chi Xu. Xie Wen also turned to look at Chi Xu. Chi Xu raised his hand and rubbed Xie Wens head. I remember many details of us falling in love. Why dont I tell them? Zheng Yuehua immediately chimed in, Wenwen, Im sorry. Let Little Xu do the talking. It didnt matter who said it. However, it was really rare for someone to remember the process of knowing and falling in love clearly in their relationship and marriage. He must have taken it to heart and loved her deeply enough to do so. At this moment, everyone looked at Chi Xu expectantly. Actually, our love story is a little tacky, too. It was love at first sight. Chi Xus calmness would make people like him. Everyone waited expectantly for him to continue. At that time, Wenwen was a popular female celebrity. Wherever she went, she was the moon surrounded by stars. I thought that I would never interact with this moon until that day, when I entered Wenwens production team At that time, Xie Wen was very popular and had countless suitors around her. However, she had clearly said that she would not fall in love easily now. However, there were still many suitors, so Xie Wen ignored them. She knew Chi Xu in a period drama starring Xie Wen as the female lead. Chi Xu played the role of the guard beside the male lead. He did not have many scenes and occasionally had some contact with Xie Wen. Initially, Xie Wen did not even look Chi Xu in the eye. It was not that she was arrogant, but she was busy memorizing the script, rehearsing scenes, and filming. She was not familiar with Chi Xu and did not have many scenes with him. There was really nothing to interact with. However, Chi Xu was especially polite. Even if they did not interact in private, her first impression of him was still very good. Until one time when she went overseas to film a horse scene. Xie Wen had always been a little afraid of riding a horse. Moreover, that day, the horse trainer was on the way, and Xie Wen was in a hurry to film a scene, so she had to bite the bullet. It was Chi Xu who took the initiative and volunteered himself on behalf of the horse trainer who failed to arrive. He put Xie Wen on the horse, then he led the horse around several times until Xie Wen overcame her fear of riding. At that time, Xie Wen was on horseback. Chi Xu held the reins and walked slowly. He kept walking and walking while sweating. When the horse trainer arrived, Xie Wen had already started filming. After that scene ended, Xie Wen wanted to thank Chi Xu officially. However, she was surprised to hear the stage supervisor and Chi Xus conversation. The stage supervisor asked Chi Xu, Youve been walking that horse for so long and the weather is hot. Why arent you riding on the horse? This will make it easier for the female lead to overcome this fear as soon as possible. What did Chi Xu answer at that time? He said, Its not appropriate for a man and a woman to ride the same horse. Besides, I think my method is better. If I teach her on horseback, shell still be afraid when I come down. That was all he said. This made Xie Wen start paying attention to Chi Xu. When she was acting opposite the male lead, Chi Xu stood behind him as a guard. Once the scene ended, Xie Wen could not help but glance at Chi Xu. He was really polite. He did everything with propriety. He never did anything offensive. He was also very thoughtful in every small detail. Occasionally, some actors in the production team would go overboard with their dirty words. The other actors would roar with laughter, but Chi Xu reminded them, Dont say that with a girl around. Its disrespectful. At the time, he was just a small actor. No one took him seriously and gave him cold looks. Only Xie Wen quietly paid him more attention. At that time, Xie Wens attention on Chi Xu had not reached the stage of liking him. It was just that the things Chi Xu did and those gentlemanly and polite actions would always subconsciously attract her to take another look at him. As the movie was about to end, the two of them interacted further. That day, Xie Wen was going to film a drowning scene. It was a field shot. The director had already arranged for two sailors to dive into the lake. He was afraid that something would happen to the actors. Sailors were the best guarantee. But nobody knows what had happened to the sailors that day. In the end, they didnt come. However, there were many stagehands and several actors who knew how to swim at the time, and they were as good at it as the sailors. The purpose of finding the sailors was only to ensure the safety of the actors. Hence, the director did not wait and announced that filming would begin. But in the end, an accident happened Chapter 67 - 67 Romantic 67 Romantic That day, there was a strange phenomenon of water flowing up from the lake. At that time, many people did not know what was going on, nor had never encountered it before. They did not know how dangerous the situation was. Xie Wen was still in the water. The stagehands and actors who knew how to swim sensed that something was wrong and quickly went ashore. Xie Wen was also picked up by another actor and prepared to swim up together. However, the speed at which the water flowed higher and higher became faster and faster. The male actor swam harder and harder. Seeing that the two of them were about to not be able to get up, Xie Wen let go of the male actor who knew how to swim and let him go ashore first. If anything happened, she could not drag the male actor down. Someone on the shore realized belatedly and exclaimed, This is a siphon phenomenon! When they heard that it was a siphoning phenomenon, the others also reacted. Xie Wens situation was too bad. She would be swept into the abyss at the bottom of the lake at any moment. Everyone cherished their lives, and the professional sailors were not around. No one dared to save Xie Wen easily. At this moment, a figure jumped into the lake before anyone could react. That person was Chi Xu. He tied a rope around his waist and jumped into the lake to save Xie Wen without thinking or hesitation. Chi Xu did not hesitate when others did not have the determination. Everyone could only pull the rope with all their might and pray that both of them were fine. After that, Xie Wen was successfully saved. She was terrified. Her face was pale. As for Chi Xu, who had saved her, he left silently after untying the rope. Xie Wen stared at Chi Xus back for a long time. She thought that she would drown that day, her vision had already turned black. Suddenly, there was the sound of someone falling into the water. Chi Xu swam over with all his might and pulled her ashore. No one dared to come down and save her. Only Chi Xu did not even think about the consequences. Both of them might be sucked to the bottom of the lake. But he had jumped. Without hesitation. She had never felt so moved as at that moment. After this incident, Xie Wens heart only palpitated. It was not to the extent that she wanted to date Chi Xu. She was still very rational. However, ever since then, she did not expect Chi Xu to take the initiative to pursue her. He chased after her calmly. A good morning and good night everyday. When someone was around, he would definitely stay away and not cause her any trouble. As a result, no paparazzi had ever taken photos of the two of them together until the day of the official announcement. Xie Wen kept feeling that he was so cautious that she panicked, but he was so meticulous that she sank into him day by day. Especially his meticulousness. C After Chi Xu finished speaking, the story came to an end. The people listening were also entranced. Tao Jing sighed and said, Other people who fall in love at first sight are always chasing after the other relentlessly. Chi Xus love at first sight really impressed me. Silently protecting her, didnt often make his presence known, but when Xie Wen needed him, he would definitely be the first to appear. Xu Muzhen sighed as well. Thats right. When I heard you mention Sister Wenwen falling into the water, my heart ached. Fortunately, youre there. Wu Jiacheng said seriously, To be honest, the siphon phenomenon is very terrifying. If youre not careful, you might lose your life. At that time, no one dared to take this risk. Only you dared to jump down without hesitation, which means that you were mentally prepared to die at any time. The moment that was said, everyone gasped. Xu Muzhen quickly said, Sister Wenwen, you married the right person. Really. Not to mention that Chi Xu and Xie Wen were not married at that time and had not even fallen in love, it was really rare for Chi Xu to put himself in danger for Xie Wen. Even Han Qianye, who was not very interested, was a little moved. Love is fought for by yourself. You fought for it with your life. Xie Wen was also smiling, but her smile was not so happy, as if she was hiding something. [Chi Xus love is gentle and firm. Boohoo, when will I meet a good man like Chi Xu?] [Help! Chi Xu is really too good! He loves Wenwen too much!] [I originally thought that Chi Xu was only considerate and moved Xie Wen with some warm male behavior. I didnt expect him to use his life to protect Xie Wen.] [What kind of luck does Xie Wen have? She met Chi Xu, who loved her with his life.] [Chi Xu clearly said it so calmly, but Im so touched. Im crying.] [So everyone has misunderstood Chi Xu. Hes not unworthy of Xie Wen at all. On the contrary, if not for Chi Xu, Xie Wen might not still be here.] [Just because he respects girls, Im a fan.] [Husband and wife in the entertainment industry dont last long. If Xie Wen and Chi Xu divorce one day in the future, Ill probably think that Xie Wen did something wrong.] [Its mainly because Chi Xu is really too good.] Chi Xu and Xie Wens marriage had already dissatisfied many of Xie Wens fans. Because the difference between the two of them was huge, one was a popular female celebrity, and the other was an unknown small actor. They were not compatible at all. If not for Chi Xus handsome appearance, he would really be a toad lusting after swan meat. Ever since Xie Wen and Chi Xus relationship was out, Chi Xu had received curses on Weibo. The [Memory Chat Mode] arranged by the production team tonight gave Chi Xu a good impression. Many people who did not like him turned into fans. Just as everyone was feeling moved by the process of Xie Wen and Chi Xu getting to know each other, the silent Li Xiwu suddenly said, The horse trainer happened to not be able to arrive that day, and the sailors didnt come without saying anything. Its quite a coincidence. As Li Xiwu finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at Li Xiwu, wondering why she had said that. However, what she said sounded reasonable. Chi Xu, who was not flustered at all, replied calmly, Its undeniably a coincidence, but at that time, the horse trainer did have something on and was delayed. As for the sailors, the production team investigated later on. The sailors knew in advance that the water would rise that day and was afraid that something would happen, so they called the assistant director to explain the situation. However, the assistant director was transferred to another production team that day and was so busy that he forgot about it. Later on, this assistant director was even fined two months of salary. He spoke calmly. No one could find any fault with it. Everyone also came to a realization. This assistant director was really harmful. After Xie Wen and Chi Xus love story ended, there was no gift segment, so they went straight to Li Xiwus group. Min Hanrong asked first, Xiwu, your love story with your lover must be very romantic, right? Everyone also looked at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Its fine. She hadnt figured out what to say. If she really told the truth, it would be equivalent to laying her out in front of the camera. However, Xie Wens matter had yet to be settled. She did not want to bring too much negative controversy to herself too early. She glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou and said calmly, Fourth Brother, do you want to say it, or should I? Pei Jingzhou looked into Li Xiwus eyes. Your memory isnt too good. Ill say it. Li Xiwu was speechless. Why did he have to say that her memory was bad?! Chapter 68 - 68 Pei Jingzhou Said, "I Liked Her First." 68 Pei Jingzhou Said, I Liked Her First. How did she have a bad memory? Her work required her to be good at communication, so her memory was naturally not bad. In so long, no one around her had ever said that her memory was bad. Han Qianye, who was beside him, couldnt sit still anymore. She suddenly said, Jingzhou, how can you say that Xiwu has a bad memory? I think Xiwu remembers the sweet past between the two of you the most. Han Qianye wanted Li Xiwu to say it. She knew very well that with her sons EQ, it was impossible for him to say it directly in front of the camera. He had only married Li Xiwu because she looked like his first love. Because he regretted not getting together with his first love, he had found someone who looked like her to comfort his longing. This was too ridiculous! However, Li Xiwu was indeed a peripheral identity. Sigh! The more Han Qianye thought about it, the more worried she became. She felt that it was better for Li Xiwu to say it. This way, Li Xiwu could say whatever she wanted and feel better. Han Qianye had yet to realize that she had already begun to think for Li Xiwu in every way. She was unwilling to investigate the change in her heart. She could not bear to see Li Xiwu suffer. At this moment, Min Hanrong noticed Han Qianyes expression and asked with a smile, Qianye, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell? Han Qianye immediately hid the emotions on her face. I just ate a little too much tonight. Its not easy to digest. Min Hanrong thoughtfully handed Han Qianye a glass of fruit juice. Drink some kiwi juice to help with your digestion. Han Qianye said, Thank you. Min Hanrong smiled meaningfully. Why are you so polite? You looked so pale just now. Those who didnt know better would think that your son and daughter-in-law were friends who introduced them to each other and got married in a hurry. They didnt have any experience of knowing each other. Han Qianye maintained the smile on her face. Youre worrying for nothing. Min Hanrong had a valid reason. How can this be called worrying for nothing? This is clearly called concern. Everyone was looking at Li Xiwu. She did not dare to look at Pei Jingzhou because Pei Jingzhous terrifying aura made people only dare to glance at him briefly. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Since Han Qianye had taken the initiative to speak, she was also prepared to let her talk about her acquaintance and love experience with Pei Jingzhou. No matter what, she had to finish recording the show safely first. Just as she was about to compile a story, Pei Jingzhou straightened his posture. Let me explain. Li Xiwu: Li Xiwu closed her eyes for a moment before giving in. She gritted her teeth and spat out a word. Okay. Just say it! However, when Pei Jingzhou spoke, there would probably be endless negative controversy about her. Fortunately, she was strong enough in her heart. Just now, she was thinking that she had to finish recording the show to resolve Xie Wens matter. But now, she realized that it didnt matter if she didnt finish recording the show. As long as she resolved the matter between Xie Wen and Chi Xu in advance, that would be enough. In just a few seconds, Li Xiwu thought about a lot of things. At this moment, Pei Jingzhous short sentence entered her ears clearly and also into everyones ears. Pei Jingzhou said, Were childhood sweethearts. The word childhood sweetheart surprised everyone. Even Xie Wen, who knew that Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou were married, was surprised when she heard this word. Min Hanrong looked a little embarrassed. Zheng Yuehua looked very surprised. Tao Jing and Xu Muzhen looked envious. Xu Muzhen even exclaimed, I didnt expect Sister Li and Brother-in-law to be childhood sweethearts!!! Han Qianye slowly sat up straight, her expression even more solemn than before. Li Xiwus tone was steady. Yes. She had been guessing how outstanding Pei Jingzhous first love was, but they were childhood sweethearts. It had nothing to do with whether she was outstanding or not. The relationship they had since they were young was precious compared to any relationship. Xu Muzhen urged kindly, Brother-in-law, tell me quickly. Im really looking forward to the things between you and Sister Li. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at Li Xiwu and saw that her jaw was tightening. He reached over and held Li Xiwus hand. We were childhood sweethearts. I liked her first. I wooed her. We were in the same middle school. I was two years ahead of her. I defeated every love rival she had. I placed every apple in her desk drawer. She fell and hurt her leg at a sports event. I carried her for a month and seven days. Later, her parents had to go overseas for work, so she followed them overseas to live. Although it was a simple and straightforward conversation, she could tell that every word was filled with emotion. Xu Muzhen asked enthusiastically, Then did you fall in love long-distance? Pei Jingzhou tilted his head. Sort of. Sort of? This time it was Xie Wen who asked. She was also very curious, especially when she heard from Mr. Pei that he and Miss Li were childhood sweethearts. She remembered hearing from Miss Li in the past that she and Mr. Pei were introduced through blind dates. Han Qianye, who was beside her with a solemn expression, had the urge to stop her son from continuing. Not to mention Li Xiwu, she could barely listen. Childhood sweethearts were her son and Little Yous past. Not to mention Li Xiwus feelings, even Han Qianye felt a little heart-wrenching when she said his past with Little You in public. Pei Jingzhous tone was calm. Because every year, I will fly overseas for more than a hundred days to see her. The words fly oversea for more than a hundred days to see her were enough to shock people. How strong must ones willpower and perseverance be to persevere? Long-distance relationships were the most testing! Tao Jing couldnt help but sigh. Many people ended up breaking up because of long-distance love. When they remember it, it will be filled with regret. Pei Jingzhou smiled. No regrets. It was a very firm statement. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways and looked at Li Xiwu with a gentle and firm expression. Later, she returned to my side and we got married. [Help! Theyre really childhood sweethearts!] [The key is that theyve been childhood sweethearts for so many years and nothing has ever happened!] [About the day when the romance novel was reflected in reality but not completely in reality. After the male lead in the novel left the country, he turned around and met a new female lead, causing his first love to become the one who interfered. Im so envious of Li Xiwu and her husbands love run!] [He flew overseas for more than a hundred days every year! Whos envious?] [Back when I was in a long-distance relationship with my ex-boyfriend, I only saw him two or three times a year. Then we broke up, so he was an ex-boyfriend.] [The stories came from other peoples mouths. One was overseas and the other was in the country. Who knows if the two of them had changed their minds? Later, they realized that childhood sweethearts were still suitable. In the end, they got together again.] [Whats wrong with someones speech? Is she allergic to romance?] Chapter 69 - 69 Pei Jingzhou: I Cherish You 69 Pei Jingzhou: I Cherish You The memory chat mode finally ended. Li Xiwus expression was normal the entire time. She smiled when she needed to, making it impossible to tell anything. Everyone was praising Li Xiwu for being so happy. Especially the chatterbox Xu Muzheng, who kept asking, Sister Li, when are you and Brother-in-law planning to have a child? Li Xiwus expression was a little unnatural, but in the eyes of others, she was just a little embarrassed to mention this topic. I dont have this plan for the time being. Xu Muzhen rested her chin on her hand. Me too. I thought that postgraduate studies was a good time to have a child. When I graduate and officially start working, I wouldnt have to worry about when to have a child. But who knew that a doctor-in-training would be so tired? They stay up late every day and are ordered around by nurses every day. They simply have no human rights. Ill think about having a child when I officially start working in the future. Tao Jing asked in confusion, The doctor-in-training is already a doctor. Why are you still ordered around by the young nurse? Xu Muzhen sighed calmly. Other than not needing to remove needles and change the dressing, a doctor-in-training does more clinical work than anyone else. Theyre so busy that they even take time out to write their mentors research mission. After writing for a while, the bell will ring. They have to save the patient immediately. Their salary is 1,800 yuan, and they have to laugh every day. Xu Muzhen was talking about her real life as a doctor-in-training. Actually, Im fine. Im not in the emergency department. With that one sentence, one could only imagine how terrifying the emergency department was. Hearing Xu Muzhens words, everyone gasped. Xiang Lan, who didnt speak much, added, Doctors are benevolent. Being doctors is very noble. That was why Xiang Lans heart ached for her daughter-in-law. Although it only took time to become a chief physician, if she did not wait for this day and her body was exhausted first, the gains would not make up for the losses. Therefore, as long as Xu Muzhen had time, Xiang Lan would pull Xu Muzhen out of bed for morning exercise. Tao Jing asked, Auntie Xiang, will you do your morning exercise tomorrow morning? Xiang Lan replied, I do exercises every morning and night. Day after day, year after year. Ive never stopped. Everyone thought, As expected of a fitness instructor. Tao Jing was delighted. Thats great. As she spoke, Tao Jing held Min Hanrongs arm. Mom, lets get up tomorrow morning and do morning exercises with Auntie Xiang? Min Hanrong controlled her figure all year round, so she naturally would not reject such a good activity. She immediately agreed. There are only benefits and no harm in training your body. Then lets wake up early tomorrow. After saying that, she did not forget to invite Zheng Yuehua and Han Qianye along. Zheng Yuehua could not get up too early. Ever since Xie Wen came to her house, she did not have to worry about anything. She often slept in, but it was not easy to refuse. She braced herself and agreed. Alright, no problem. Min Hanrong looked at Han Qianye. What about you, Qianye? Han Qianye was in a bad mood and couldnt care less about anything. When she heard Min Hanrongs invitation, she did not think much of it and agreed casually. Alright. Min Hanrong made the decision. Then lets say that us mother-in-laws will Not sure of the time, Min Hanrong specially confirmed the time with Xiang Lan. What time does Sister Lan usually start her morning exercise? Xiang Lan said, Five-thirty. Min Hanrong: Tao Jing: Zheng Yuehua: Li Xiwu: Han Qianye, who was in a daze: Didnt that mean she had to get up at five? [Hahahaha, when everyone heard five-thirty, their expressions froze.] [Im still sleeping at five-thirty.] [Its really too early, but I still have to praise Mother-in-law Xiang for being so self-disciplined.] [If I had a self-disciplined mother-in-law like Xiang Lan, my figure would definitely be super hot now.] [Can I ask if tomorrows morning exercise will be broadcast? Ill set the alarm.] Liang Sheng couldnt help but laugh when he saw everyones expressions. He explained, My mother exercises every day at five-thirty in the morning and at nine at night. This is a habit shes persisted in for many years. Its always been like this. There was nothing wrong with the number five. But the number five-thirty in the morning was a little torturous. Min Hanrong regretted saying too much, but she also knew that it was definitely too late to regret. Anyway, she could get up tomorrow morning. Zheng Yuehua looked a little bitter. Five-thirty? Motherf*cker! Han Qianye was very confused. Xie Wen, who was beside her, was fine. Whether she had a child or not, she woke up quite early. Moreover, in the past, when she was filming, she often woke up at three or four in the morning. Five-thirty was easy to accept. Tonights live broadcast ended two hours later than before. It ended at nine. Everyone in Group One, Group Two, and Group Three stood up one after another and prepared to go upstairs to their rooms to rest. The inn was huge and had many rooms. There was no need to worry about not having enough rooms. Everyone headed upstairs. Only Li Xiwu held her phone and pretended to answer the call as she walked out. Han Qianye noticed and was about to follow her out. Pei Jingzhou was already ahead of her. Han Qianye did not show any weakness and immediately chased after him. Outside the inn. It was late autumn, and it was even colder at night. Hot steam rose from their words. Wearing thin clothes, Li Xiwu walked far away and looked down at her phone. Han Qianye walked in front of her son and blocked his way. Stop! The searchlight on the roof outside the inn could illuminate a long distance. Han Qianyes exasperated expression was clearly illuminated. Pei Jingzhou asked calmly, Whats wrong? Han Qianye asked, How can you mention your past with Little You in front of everyone? Pei Jingzhou said nothing. Han Qianye scolded, How is that appropriate! Pei Jingzhous lips twitched. You should go back and rest early. Han Qianye: ? Pei Jingzhou walked around Han Qianye, who was blocking his way, and walked towards Li Xiwu. Han Qianye turned around and saw the two figures getting closer from afar. She thought to herself that she could not interfere much. She was just worrying for nothing. Forget it! C Li Xiwu came out to answer Qiao Qiaos call. Qiao Qiao had just sent a message asking if it was convenient to answer. She typed as she walked: [Just came out. Wait until Im a little further away.] When she was about fifty meters away from the inn, Li Xiwu called Qiao Qiao. Then someone behind her called Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu immediately hung up. She turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou. She raised her red lips and asked, Its quite cold outside. Why did Fourth Brother come out? Pei Jingzhou took off his coat expressionlessly and draped it over her in an inelegant manner. You also know that its quite cold outside. I thought you didnt feel anything. Li Xiwu did not refuse. She gathered her jacket and said, Fourth Brother still cherishes to the fairer sex. Pei Jingzhou said, Who cherishes the fairer sex? Li Xiwu: ? Pei Jingzhou looked into her eyes. I cherish you. Chapter 70 - 70 Sweet Nothings 70 Sweet Nothings Pei Jingzhou took off his jacket. He had a white shirt on. His arms were wrapped in cufflinks that stuck to his arms, abstinent and seductive. As the wife who had slept with Pei Jingzhou for three years, how could Li Xiwu not know how good Pei Jingzhous figure was? He worked out all year round and sometimes even pulled her to work out with him. He was really self-disciplined, but one of the disadvantages of such self-discipline for Li Xiwu was that he was too energetic! Li Xiwu looked away from him and praised with a bright smile, Fourth Brothers sweet nothings are very nice. Pei Jingzhous thin lips curled up. You think its sweet nothings? Li Xiwu raised her palm-sized face. Isnt it? Pei Jingzhou looked into her eyes. Look at the myriad worlds. The mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and the stars. Theyre inferior to you in every way. Li Xiwu: ? Pei Jingzhou said, Listen carefully. This is what sweet nothings is. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhou asked her, Can you tell? Li Xiwu said, Thats tacky. Then Ill say something extraordinary. Pei Jingzhou smiled. I have two wishes: You by my side, and me by your side. Li Xiwu did not expect him to continue. And compared to the previous corny sweet nothing, this one sounded even more corny. She leaned back a little, and there was a smile in her calm eyes. Fourth Brother not only knows how to say sweet nothings, but you also know how to be romantic. Pei Jingzhou turned to look at the night sky. Then are you into it? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Me? Its useless whether Im into it or not. Its fine as long as someone is into it. Besides, that person is Fourth Brothers treasure. Pei Jingzhou did not say anything and just looked at the night sky quietly. At this moment, the phone in Li Xiwus hand vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was Qiao Qiao. Just as she was hesitating about whether to pick it up, Pei Jingzhous cold voice sounded in her ear. Answer it. I want to hear how your friend ridiculed me. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Was he sure that Qiao Qiao was calling to complain about him? As if reading her mind, he said, Does your friend not complain about me often? Li Xiwu: Of course, she wouldnt betray Qiao Qiao. She lowered her head and rejected Qiao Qiaos call. But the next second, Qiao Qiao called again. Li Xiwu hung up again. Then, she opened WeChat and sent Qiao Qiao a WeChat message. She was typing when Qiao Qiao called again. In the past, as long as she hung up, Qiao Qiao would know that it was inconvenient for her to pick up. What happened today? Did something happen to Qiao Qiao? Li Xiwu suddenly became worried. This time, she didnt hesitate for long before picking up Qiao Qiaos call. Qiao Qiao said, You finally answered the phone! Li Xiwu did not avoid Pei Jingzhou and asked worriedly, Did something happen? What can happen? Its all because of you. Im so angry. Qiao Qiaos tone was filled with anger, and she was furious. How could Pei Jingzhou tell his story with his first love as yours with clear conscience? I was really angry when I watched the live broadcast. Wheres his shame? Li Xiwu looked up at Pei Jingzhou. Qiao Qiao scolded on the phone while Pei Jingzhou listened expressionlessly. Although it was not on speaker, the surroundings were silent and empty. The voice coming from the receiver was clear. She reminded Qiao Qiao, Wait a minute It was too late. Qiao Qiaos mouth was like a flood. Qiao Qiao continued, Especially when the comments are all about childhood sweethearts! Its so sweet and affectionate. The more I look at it, the angrier I get. Qiao Qiao continued, I posted: Its all fake! Theyre acting! And that post was gone with a swipe. Millions of viewers are online. My speech is too weak. Li Xiwu knew that stopping her was useless. You called a few times just to complain? She thought there was something important! Qiao Qiaos tone still sounded very angry. I was just angry and insisted on calling you. I only felt better after complaining. By the way, you seemed to want to stop me from coming just now. Could it be that Pei Jingzhou is beside you? Why didnt she have this realization earlier! Li Xiwu smiled bitterly. Hes here. Qiao Qiao: Okay. Goodbye. Qiao Qiao, who had scolded so happily one second, hung up as dejectedly the next. Smiling, Li Xiwu inhaled and turned to go back. Noticing that Pei Jingzhou had not moved, Li Xiwu shouted, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou turned around and looked at her quietly. Li Xiwu realized that Pei Jingzhous pupils were dark and deep, thicker than the night. Li Xiwu asked, Are you going in? Pei Jingzhou turned around. Lets go. He took her hand. His broad and warm palm wrapped around her slender hand. Li Xiwu was used to it. She did not pull her hand away and walked beside him. If the heart did not move, the faith would not move. She didnt care, so she wouldnt resist anything. As she walked, Li Xiwu took the initiative to find a topic. Did Fourth Brother come today because he saw the live broadcast? Pei Jingzhou said, Of course. Li Xiwu smiled. I thought Pei Jingzhou interrupted her. Dont always think so. Cant you inform me first? If you have anything to ask, just ask. As long as you ask, Ill tell you. Of course Li Xiwu wouldnt ask. The smile on her lips rippled. Im called sensible. She heard the man beside her snort coldly. Now youre saying youre sensible. Why didnt you say you were sensible when I couldnt find you after calling a dozen times? Li Xiwu asked, Fourth Brother, are you still angry about this? Pei Jingzhou said, Im not angry. Im magnanimous. Okay, he was not angry, he was magnanimous. Li Xiwu retracted her hand from Pei Jingzhous, but Pei Jingzhou reminded her, Hold my hand. Li Xiwu said, No. Li Xiwu. None of your business! Pei Jingzhou: Li Xiwu walked very quickly. Pei Jingzhou did not chase after her and slowly walked back. They reached the inn. They went back to their room and closed the door. Next door. Han Qianye was still answering Lin Yourongs call. On the other end of the line, Lin Yourong said, What happened tonight was even more exciting than I originally thought. Li Xiwu must be feeling uncomfortable. Han Qianye said, I dont feel good either. Lin Yourong asked, Whats wrong with you? Isnt it what you wanted? Han Qianye was in a very low mood. Im in a bad mood now. Dont say this. Tell me something to make me happy. Thats a lot. Lin Yourong mentioned, You know that I have a little niece, right? Han Qianye pouted. I asked you to say something to make me happy. I didnt ask you to change the topic so far. Why is it about your niece? Lin Yourong said, Let me finish first. Han Qianye nodded. Okay. Lin Yourong continued, My niece is coming back from Country H in two days. Shes a top designer and a talent that the country is fighting for. Shes also beautiful, especially after learning Country Hs fashion sense and makeup. I plan to wait for her to come back and get her to teach us how to dress up. In the past, Han Qianye would definitely be very interested. But now, she was not in the mood at all. Forget it. Im recording a variety show. Go learn from your niece yourself. Lin Yourong panicked. Its so boring for me to learn alone. Dont worry, Ill arrange it. Han Qianye was just not in the mood, but she was not stupid. She caught herself and sat up. Are you planning to introduce your niece to my son? Chapter 71 - 71 Poisoned by Li Xiwu 71 Poisoned by Li Xiwu Lin Yourong smiled and said, Qianye! You finally understand my painstaking efforts. What painstaking effort? She was clearly black-hearted! Han Qianye guessed correctly, and her expression was even worse than before. Lets talk about it another day, Rongrong. Im going to sleep. I have to get up at five tomorrow morning. Hey, wait a minute. Im not done yet Beep, beep, beep The busy tone sounded. Han Qianye had hung up first. Han Qianye threw her phone aside and thought angrily, Im worried about keeping my daughter-in-law, but youre busy introducing me to a new daughter-in-law? Rongrongs niece? Thinking about it, she seemed to have seen her before. She was only so-so. She could not even compare to Li Xiwus finger. Hmph! These thoughts of unconditionally favoring Li Xiwu kept appearing in her mind. Han Qianye was stunned. Am I poisoned by Li Xiwu? C The next morning. The alarm clock began to vibrate frequently at five. Li Xiwu took the phone and turned off the alarm. She was about to get up when an arm came around her waist and pulled her back under the blanket. The blanket was pulled up so that not a breath of wind could enter and wrap her tightly. Li Xiwu wanted to rub her eyes, but she couldnt even take her hand out. She said helplessly, Fourth Brother, Im getting up. A very hoarse voice asked her, What time is it? Li Xiwu said, Five oclock. Shed set the alarm for five last night. Xiang Lan had to get up at five-thirty for her morning exercise. Although it was indeed a little early, since she had agreed, she had to go. Not only did she not have to be absent, but she also had to try not to be late. After about half a minute, Pei Jingzhou finally removed his hand from her waist. Li Xiwu propped herself up on her arm. Is Fourth Brother going to participate in todays morning exercise? Pei Jingzhou said, No. Li Xiwu said, Early workouts are good for the body. Pei Jingzhou opened his eyes and looked at her. Its not appropriate for me to do it here last night. Its not because Im not in good health. Li Xiwu choked. Nothing happened last night. Initially, she was worried that Pei Jingzhou would insist on doing something at the inn last night. After all, the soundproofing was not that good. If there were any discordant voices, it would be awkward tomorrow morning. Although they were husband and wife, it was not good. And her worries last night were unnecessary. Pei Jingzhou did not do anything. He did not even let her look at her phone for a few more minutes. After turning off the lights, he tucked her in and hugged her before falling asleep. Li Xiwu got out of bed and walked, trying to be as light as possible. After washing up, she changed into a ladys physical suit. She thought that Pei Jingzhou was still asleep, but when she came out, she realized that he had already woken up and was pouring water. As she approached, Pei Jingzhou casually handed her the water he had just poured. Li Xiwu took it naturally. Arent you going to sleep a little longer? Pei Jingzhou watched her finish the water. I cant sleep without you around. She had finished the water, but Li Xiwu choked on her own saliva. She put the cup back. Pei Jingzhou reached out to take it and poured himself another cup. Last night, the two of them had slept without chatting. He had not dealt with his work, nor had he let her deal with hers. It was probably because she had gone to bed early. Although she had woken up early, she was in good spirits. As it concerned todays live broadcast, Li Xiwu asked before going downstairs, Is Fourth Brother leaving today? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows at her. Chasing me away? Li Xiwu sighed and smiled. Unfortunately, I dont have the right. She raised her hand to look at the wristwatch shed just put on. It was five-oh-seven. Twenty minutes to five-thirty. Originally, Tao Jing had casually suggested the morning exercise last night. The director felt that this suggestion was not bad, so he discussed it with Director Gao. Hence, they decided to start the live broadcast at five this morning. Mother-in-Law Joys official Weibo account had also released the post last night. It would start broadcasting at five oclock and officially broadcast her morning exercise at five-thirty. This time, no one could slip away even if they wanted to. Li Xiwu took her phone and replied to the WeChat message she hadnt looked at last night. She even sent Qi Jiangchi a WeChat message. The general content was to trouble Qi Jiangchi to use his right to investigate what had happened during the filming of Glory of the World two years ago. Qi Jiangchi was still asleep at this time, so he naturally wouldnt reply. Li Xiwu put away her phone and turned to go downstairs. She almost bumped into Pei Jingzhou when she turned around. She consciously moved away and Pei Jingzhou stopped her. Are you going to investigate that production team? Li Xiwu turned around. You saw it? Pei Jingzhou must have seen the WeChat message she sent to Qi Jiangchi. He was standing behind her just now. Pei Jingzhou turned around and asked her, What production team? When? Li Xiwu was stunned for two to three seconds. Although she did not know why Pei Jingzhou would ask about this, she still answered every question. The production team of Glory of the World two years ago. As soon as Li Xiwu finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou picked up his phone and made a call in front of her. After the call was picked up, he said concisely, Investigate the situation that happened during the filming of Glory of the World two years ago. Get the most specific information as soon as possible. After giving his instructions, Pei Jingzhou hung up. Li Xiwu was a little surprised. You Pei Jingzhou asked, Am I just for show? He was clearly the authority. All she had to do was say the word, but she didnt mention it at all. She did this in silence and didnt look for him, her husband, even when she looked for her superior. Li Xiwu lowered her eyes. Dont you think Im being nosy? Initially, Li Xiwu did not know some details until she heard Chi Xus memories last night. These details were connected in her mind. Thinking about it, it was really terrifying. At that time, her assistant, Yuanyuan, would tell her what had happened to Xie Wen on set. She would find out about it later, but what she found out was not much different from what Yuanyuan had said. Because the matter was too meticulous, it was difficult for people to notice that something was wrong. Even she did not realize it back then. Now that she connected the dots, she realized that it was not that simple. Pei Jingzhou looked at her deeply furrowed brows and raised his hand to calm her down. Its a little nosy, but thats what others think. Li Xiwu: ? Pei Jingzhou said, I dont think so. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Fourth Brother, do you believe me? Pei Jingzhou tapped her forehead. Its you who dont believe me. Li Xiwu was silent. In this matter with Xie Wen, she was the only one acting. No matter what she said or did, she would definitely not be understood. Others would think that she was being nosy. She was ready to fight alone. Because she couldnt watch Xie Wen struggle in fire and water without helping her. However, Pei Jingzhou seemed to be able to hear her thoughts. He knew what she was thinking and what she was planning. He did not care and stood on her side without hesitation. He cooperated with her and helped her investigate. She looked up at Pei Jingzhou. His eyes were cold at all times and he did not look like someone to be trifled with. Only when he looked at her would his eyes soften unconsciously. This version of him would give her an uncontrollable illusion. The illusion that the person Pei Jingzhou loved deeply had always been her. Chapter 72 - 72 The Key Was Still Li Xiwu! 72 The Key Was Still Li Xiwu! There was no first love. Not a substitute. The person in his eyes and heart had always been her, Li Xiwu. He only loved her. Thinking of this, Li Xiwu suddenly woke up. How could she have such thoughts! It was ridiculous and unrealistic! Pei Jingzhou had only done something for her casually. How could she have so many unrealistic fantasies? Moreover, what Pei Jingzhou had said on camera last night, his past with his first love, and the touching sweetness were just a story to her. After quickly calming down, Li Xiwus expression was natural. Fourth Brother, Ill go down first. Pei Jingzhou did not respond. Li Xiwu rushed downstairs. She didnt put on any makeup. She only washed her face, brushed her teeth, and tied her hair up. She didnt even apply any skincare products. When she worked out, her body would dissipate the heat. When the time came, she would be covered in sweat and need to take a shower. After taking a shower, she would apply skincare and makeup. She walked in a hurry on the way down. She thought that she should be the last to arrive. Everyone was probably waiting for her. Unexpectedly, when she came down to take a look, there was only Xiang Lan and her daughter-in-law, Xu Muzhen. The cameras back was facing the cameraman and the director. Currently, the live broadcast page is filled with advertisements. It started at five oclock. There were only ten minutes left until five-thirty. Xiang Lan saw Li Xiwu coming downstairs and greeted her, Xiwu, youre up. Xu Muzhen, who was stretching her legs and feeling sleepy, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard her mother-in-laws voice. She looked up and saw that it was Li Xiwu. Xu Muzhen immediately perked up. Sister Li, youre up. Aiyo, Im so sleepy. Li Xiwu walked over. Where are the others? Xu Muzhen smiled bitterly. Theyre not down yet. Its really too early to get up. Xiang Lan was warming up and said considerately, Its very difficult to get up early after autumn. Im very weak and sleepy. Five-thirty is indeed too early, but for people who work out, five-thirty to six or seven is just right. Xu Muzhen changed her leg and stretched it. Yes, but seriously, getting up early to exercise will make you very energetic all day. Thats the beauty of working out. Li Xiwu looked at the time on her wristwatch. The live broadcast was almost starting, and Han Qianye was not down yet. A few more minutes passed. Xie Wen also came downstairs. Zheng Yuehua followed behind Xie Wen and could not even open her eyes. Tao Jing went downstairs with exquisite makeup. She said, My mother is washing up. Shell be down soon. Li Xiwu returned upstairs and went to Han Qianyes door. She raised her hand and knocked on Han Qianyes door gently. There was no movement inside. Li Xiwu knocked some more. Only then did a groggy voice come from inside. Who is it? Li Xiwu said, Its me. Han Qianye asked, Who? Li Xiwu said, Li Xiwu. It went quiet inside. It was a moment before Li Xiwu heard the scuff of slippers. The footsteps approached until the door opened. Li Xiwu looked up at Han Qianye, who opened the door with her messy curly hair. This was the first time she had seen Han Qianye like this. They looked at each other for a moment. Neither of them spoke first. A moment later, Li Xiwu spoke first. Todays morning exercise live broadcast is about to begin. Han Qianye grabbed a different point. Why arent you calling me Mom? Li Xiwu did not respond and only looked at Han Qianye quietly. Another ten seconds of silence passed. This time, it was Han Qianye who spoke first. I dont want to participate. Li Xiwu said directly, You must. Han Qianye: She thought that Li Xiwu would ignore her if she said she didnt want to go, but she was immediately rejected. Han Qianye compromised, but she made a condition. Tell me, how are you feeling today? Tell me the truth. After hearing the truth, Ill go down. Li Xiwu thought that the conditions Han Qianye wanted to talk about were a little difficult. She was prepared to deal with all changes without changing. Unexpectedly, Han Qianye just wanted to know how she was feeling today. Li Xiwu took a deep breath and said steadily, Im alright. Han Qianye said, Although its only two words, Ill reluctantly believe it. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Time was too tight, so Han Qianye knew what to do. She washed her face and brushed her teeth before following Li Xiwu downstairs. She didnt have makeup on, but her skin was so good that it was soft. It was all thanks to self-care with all kinds of medical beauty. Even without makeup, she looked beautiful. When she arrived downstairs, the live broadcast had just begun. The mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws stood according to the positions Xiang Lan had arranged. There was nothing special about the music of the fitness exercise. It was just the music of ordinary fitness exercises. Xiang Lan had already warmed up before the official broadcast. Currently, she is teaching everyone how to warm up and follow the rhythm of her counting. [Its broadcasting!] [I didnt even get up so early when I took the college entrance examination back then!] [At this moment, Zheng Yuehuas state is my state. Shes yawning heavily on the screen while Im yawning heavily outside the screen.] [Just watch. Its impossible for me to get up and do it with you.] [I was naive. The previous episode, Xiang Lans morning exercise was arranged by the show. So the real morning exercise was at five-thirty.] [Tao Jing is so beautiful. Shes also beautiful when she does exercises.] [Sister Li is the real beauty. The key is that she doesnt have any makeup on. I always felt that Sister Lis appearance was too cold during the day. Now that I look at her, I realize that Sister Lis face is so tender.] [And Xie Wen is also bare-faced. Xie Wen is also very good without makeup, but shes a little haggard and has heavy bags under her eyes.] It had been warm-up for half an hour before the official broadcast. After the live broadcast, there were only a few hundred thousand people flooding into the live-stream at this time. Many night owls might have just fallen asleep at this time. Even if they were not night owls, they would be sleeping soundly. If they slept for another hour, they would wake up to eat breakfast and prepare for work. Xiang Lan taught everyone to do morning exercises seriously, step by step. Everyone was also learning seriously. However, after learning it, not only did everyone not become more and more energetic, but they also became more and more sleepy. Not to mention Zheng Yuehua, Min Hanrong and Han Qianye also yawned heavily. Needless to say, Xu Muzhen was either slacking off or on the way to slacking off. The director behind said to Director Gao, who was also yawning beside him, The popularity is not good. Director Gao yawned and wiped his tears from the yawn. Five-thirty! It would be strange if it was popular! The director said, A mistake. I thought there would be a lot of people watching even at five-thirty. Director Gao couldnt help but yawn again. Didnt you suggest live-streaming morning exercise last night? Hurry up and think of a way. The director looked at the group of guests who were seriously doing exercises in the line and could not help but look at Li Xiwu. His mind suddenly lit up. Why dont you consult Miss Li? Chapter 73 - 73 Preparing to Make Her Popular Again 73 Preparing to Make Her Popular Again Surprisingly, Gao Yueban did not refute this. He nodded as he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Alright, Ill communicate with Miss Li. With that, Gao Yueban got up. Because he was not awake, he walked unsteadily as if he had drunk two taels. C Li Xiwu was serious. Her body was already sweating from the heat. Seeing that everyone was getting sleepy as they exercised, Li Xiwu raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead. When she looked up, she realized that Director Gao was waving at her. Li Xiwus dancing stopped. Without much hesitation, she left the camera and walked towards Gao Yueban. She breathed lightly, still unsteady. Director Gao, what is it? Gao Yueban resisted the urge to yawn and said, Its like this. The popularity of this mornings live broadcast isnt very good. Do you have a better way? Li Xiwu: Gao Yueban was also a little embarrassed. As a director, he couldnt think of a way. He had to ask the guests for their ideas. It would be embarrassing if word got out. But he inexplicably believed Li Xiwu. It was mainly because after these few days of contact, he felt that Li Xiwu was a very powerful person. There was nothing she couldnt do! Li Xiwu had already completely calmed down. Director Gao, do you mean that you want me to think of a way to raise the popularity of doing morning exercises? Gao Yueban looked relieved. Thats right. Gao Yueban even said, Actually, my plan for the group morning exercise segment was to record it in the form of an edited broadcast. That idiot director insisted on suggesting a live broadcast, but in the end, it ended up like this. It was not appropriate to turn off the live broadcast. After all, some people online were also setting the alarm to squat. However, there were too few people. Compared to the live broadcast during the day, there were less than ten percent. Li Xiwu thought for a moment. Let me think. Gao Yueban was also afraid of troubling Li Xiwu. Just think about it. As long as its feasible, if not, forget it. Li Xiwu nodded. After Gao Yueban left, Li Xiwu went to the side and picked up her phone to look at it. It took more than ten minutes. She had no intention of returning to the morning exercise. Min Hanrong noticed and was a little dissatisfied. No matter how listless the elders were, they still braced themselves and jumped. It was fine if young people like her did not jump, but she could have just gone upstairs. She actually stood at the side and played with her phone. Min Hanrong couldnt stand it anymore and spoke to Han Qianye. Qianye, is your Xiwu feeling unwell? Han Qianye replied without thinking, Yes. Min Hanrong said, I saw her doing quite well just now. Han Qianye turned around. You said just now. Min Hanrong: Zheng Yuehuas voice was much louder. Everyone is exercising seriously. Only your daughter-in-law is playing with her phone at the side. Qianye, control your daughter-in-law well. Han Qianye was furious. Whats wrong with my daughter-in-law! Zheng Yuehuas voice was even louder than before. Dont you have a good relationship with your daughter-in-law? Han Qianye choked. How infuriating, this guy! [Why is Li Xiwu missing?] [Li Xiwu was so serious at first. Where did she go now?] [Li Xiwu couldnt have gone slacking off, right?] [Everyone is trying their best to exercise. Only Li Xiwu ran away first? Shes too good at cheating.] [I originally had a good impression of Li Xiwu. Isnt it not good to sneak away alone?] [I thought about Li Xiwus love story with her husband all night. In my heart, Li Xiwu is already a very beautiful image. In the end, she ruined it this morning?] [Speaking of which, will the intelligence army find out the true identity of Li Xiwus husband today?] C Min Hanrong could not help but laugh when she saw Han Qianyes defeated expression. She turned to her daughter-in-law, Tao Jing, and said, Jingjing, you danced too well. Tao Jing was a little embarrassed. Its alright. Zheng Yuehua did not admit defeat. She turned to Xie Wen and said, Wenwen, you dance very well too. Xie Wen slowly stopped. Mom, Im a little tired. I want to rest. Zheng Yuehuas expression changed. Xie Wen had actually undermined her in public. It was not appropriate for her to reprimand her in front of the camera. She only said, Jump a little longer. Its only been a few minutes. Xie Wen hesitated. Its been twenty minutes. With that, without caring if Zheng Yuehua was unhappy, Xie Wen walked towards Li Xiwu. The director looked puzzled. Director Gao, what did you tell Miss Li? Gao Yueban unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and drank the water. After drinking it, he said, I asked Miss Li if she had any way, such as organizing some interesting fitness activity to make the live-stream popular. The director nodded. There shouldnt be much hope. Look over there. Miss Li is playing with her phone excitedly. I guess everything you just said has been thrown to the wind. Gao Yueban put the mineral water back and said calmly, Whats the hurry? I believe in Li Xiwu. The director was speechless. He was really obsessed. He didnt believe that she could come up with any new tricks just by playing with her phone. C Xie Wen walked over and asked, Miss Li, what are you looking at? Li Xiwu looked up. Swiping the short video. Xie Wen fanned herself with her hand as she walked. Because the heat was too heavy, Xie Wen did not lean against Li Xiwu. What video are you watching? Li Xiwu said, A fitness video. Xie Wen was puzzled. Huh? Li Xiwu said simply, Looking for inspiration. She searched for many morning exercise videos to watch repeatedly. They were all similar. After two to three minutes of silence, Xie Wen did not disturb Li Xiwu. When her breathing calmed down, she asked, Miss Li, have you found inspiration? Li Xiwu stopped her phone. Do you think people are not interested in anything thats too rigid? Xie Wen said truthfully, Be it things or people, theyll be boring if theyre too rigid. Li Xiwu smiled. Ive thought of a way. I hope youll lead. Xie Wen was surprised. Ah me? Because of her unconditional trust, Xie Wen hesitated for only a second or two before agreeing. Li Xiwu told Xie Wen about her inspiration and the fitness slogan she had just thought of. After saying that, Li Xiwu asked, Can you do it? Xie Wen was a little nervous. Miss Li, this is a method you racked your brains to think of. I think you should be the one to lead it. The effect will definitely be better this way. What if I screw it up? Li Xiwu looked at the hesitant Xie Wen. Have you thought about being famous again? Xie Wen was stunned. Li Xiwus expression was serious. Im not an artist. I dont need too much exposure. If you want to become famous, show your former high spirits. Ill give you an idea, you should be bold enough to do it. If you do it well, Ill be the first to be happy for you. If you dont do it well, Ill be the first to take responsibility for you. Chapter 74 - 74 Li Xiwu Is Too Awesome 74 Li Xiwu Is Too Awesome Xie Wen was so young. If she was really happy, her mother-in-law would treat her well, her husband would love her, and sweetness and happiness would intertwine. Even if she was already a mother, she could live like a young girl. Instead of growing haggard and smiling less and less after being tricked into marriage by that man. Li Xiwu had thought that although she was very prejudiced against Chi Xu, as long as Chi Xu really made Xie Wen happy, she would not change what had already been done. Therefore, for more than a year, she had never taken the initiative to disturb Xie Wens life. Even if the paparazzi took photos of Xie Wens prenatal checkup and posted them online, she would inform them to delete them immediately and not let the outside world disturb her life. However, Chi Xu was not worth it. Under Li Xiwus urging, Xie Wen returned to the morning training team. She went to communicate with Gao Yueban. Director Gao, I heard a few songs just now. Ill share them with you. Gao Yueban was dumbfounded. Huh? Li Xiwu had already turned on the music. The first song was the famous song of a certain popular singer. It was accompanied by a very moving metal instrumental. As Gao Yueban listened, his body could not help but dance. Its Singer Lins song. Its an old song. Ive heard it since I was young. Li Xiwu played another song for Gao Yueban. Gao Yueban could tell immediately. Push Back! Cao Das song! Im too familiar with this! Im even more familiar with it than Singer Lins song. Li Xiwu continued to play another song. The director couldnt stand it anymore and quickly said, Director Gao! Director Gao! Were live-streaming. Li Xiwu looked up at the director. The director looked unhappy. He did not understand Li Xiwus behavior. It was true that he had high hopes that Li Xiwu could think of a solution, but she did not take it to heart. It was fine if she played on her phone for half a day, but she did not return to the morning exercise team. She even had the time to share the song with Director Gao! What kind of operation was this? The director felt that he had misjudged. Director Gao could not guess Li Xiwus thoughts. He probed, Miss Li, what are your plans? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Ive thought of a way. Now, I have to choose a song to replace the original morning exercise song. Auntie Xiang will teach the moves, and Xie Wen will lead everyone to follow the rhythm of the music. Director Gao looked happy. Thats great. There was no joy on the directors face. He could not help but ask, Just another song? Miss Li, are you sure this will work? Li Xiwu asked humbly, Do you have a better suggestion? The director was speechless. Although he did not understand what Li Xiwu was up to, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could not say anything now. After all, he was the one who suggested that Li Xiwu help in the beginning. Indeed, one had to think twice before acting. Gao Yueban was very cooperative with Li Xiwu. He listened to the other songs seriously. In the end, he chose Cao Das song. Gao Yueban said, Although the style is similar, Cao Das songs are famous for their rhythm. Why dont we use this song, Push Back? Li Xiwu said, Then play this song, Push Back, but you have to keep looping the prelude because this song will be charged after 30 seconds on the music platform. We have to pay attention to the copyright. Gao Yueban wanted to give Li Xiwu a thumbs up. As expected of Miss Li. She had considered everything. It was already six in the morning. Everyone was listless and perfunctorily danced to Xiang Lans rhythm. Then the morning exercise music stopped. At this moment, Li Xiwu had also returned to the morning training team. For some reason, Xiang Lan thought that there was a problem with the sound system and went over to communicate. Everyone took the opportunity to rest. Zheng Yuehua looked at Li Xiwu, who had returned, and couldnt control her tone. Xiwu, whats wrong with you? You were standing at the side resting when we were exercising just now. Now that were not exercising anymore, youre back. You cant be so lazy. Xie Wen immediately said, Mom, Miss Li wasnt being lazy. If not for the fact that she was on camera, Zheng Yuehua would have glared at Xie Wen. She didnt glare, but ignored Xie Wen and continued, You cant be lazy like this. After all, everyone is dancing. Min Hanrong added, Xiwu, training is only good for the body. You cant be lazy anymore. Tao Jing did not speak because when everyone was dancing just now, only Li Xiwu was standing at the side playing with her phone. It was indeed a little inappropriate. Faced with everyones dissatisfaction, Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Sorry. Han Qianye stood up. The two of you are more than a hundred years old. Isnt it funny to target a child? Han Qianyes words made everyones expressions change. Zheng Yuehua wanted to retort, but Xie Wen stopped her and reminded her, Mom, its a live broadcast. Zheng Yuehua secretly pinched Xie Wens hand. Xie Wen winced, but tried not to show it. Just as Han Qianye was about to say something more, Li Xiwu went forward and shouted, Mom. Han Qianyes aura immediately died down. Li Xiwu tried to smooth things over. Auntie and the others were just reminding me out of kindness. Ill take note. Han Qianye looked unhappy and muttered, Whatever you say. Li Xiwu had called her Mom just now to remind her that this was a live broadcast. No matter how unhappy Han Qianye was, she could only restrain her temper. [I only squinted for a moment. Why did they start arguing?] [Li Xiwu is lazy herself. Its only right for her to be criticized by her elders. Han Qianye is still protecting her children. What a loving mother.] [I remember that Li Xiwu was quite self-conscious. Why isnt she self-conscious today?] [Mother-in-law Zheng and Mother-in-law Min are right about their criticism.] [Im so sleepy. Id better go back to sleep. Ill watch the live broadcast during the day.] [This morning exercise is really boring to watch. Im looking forward to it too much. Its a waste of my sleep.] Xiang Lan went to ask the production team. At this moment, she walked over and shouted to Lan, Xie Wen! Xie Wen! Xie Wen looked up at Xiang Lan. Xiang Lan said, Its a change of music. I dont have a strong sense of rhythm for pop music. Its up to you now. Xie Wen turned to look at Li Xiwu again. Li Xiwu gave Xie Wen a reassuring look as a form of encouragement. Xie Wen gathered her courage and agreed. Okay. When Zheng Yuehua saw that her daughter-in-law would be in charge next, she immediately raised her head and puffed out her chest proudly. Our Wenwen is still the best. Although she was not her daughter-in-law, Min Hanrong still echoed, Best of luck, Wenwen. Tao Jing and Xu Muzhen were also very happy to cheer for Xie Wen. At this moment, Xie Wen walked to Xiang Lan. The two of them stood side by side in front. The moment the music started, everyone felt goosebumps rise. Xie Wen began to shout slogans. These slogans were all thought of at the last minute by Li Xiwu. They formed a jingle and were very smooth to shout. Everyone thought it was a little strange at first, but the song Push Back was the rhythm of moving music. It made people unable to stop at all. Their bodies involuntarily jumped up with it, and the more they danced, the more energetic they became. It was obvious that they were no longer as listless as before. In addition, Xie Wen shouted the slogan well. Not only did everyone follow the rhythm and move their limbs, but they also followed the slogan with all their might. Not only the guests, but the entire live-streams popularity was revived. Chapter 75 - 75 Pei Jingzhou: You Want To Take My Wifes Credit? 75 Pei Jingzhou: You Want To Take My Wifes Credit? [Got up immediately when Push Back sounded!] [Cao Da! My god!] [Just now, it was still proper morning exercise music. Why did it suddenly become Cao Das Push Back? I was so sleepy that I woke up.] [I want to jump along, but its so cold.] [Damn, I cant hold it in anymore. Im going to get up and jump with you. This Push Back sounds too exciting.] [Im not a member. Ive heard the prelude countless times. Why were they looping the prelude too.] [Details! The show didnt directly play the entire song. It focused on the copyright! I love it!] [Sisters! Im already up!] [Im up too. I jumped up with Xie Wen!] There were originally only two to three hundred thousand viewers online. But due to the change in the morning exercise music, coupled with Xie Wens unique slogan and rhythm, at 6:20 in the morning, the entire live-stream had 1.5 million viewers online, and its popularity was still rising. Live broadcasts were not exclusive like television stations. There were easily tens of millions or hundreds of millions of views. Moreover, ever since Mother-in-Law Joys live broadcast, the highest online viewership in a day was only five million, and that was still the scene of yesterdays gathering. That time happened to be the golden time for everyone to be idle at night. However, it was only 6:20 a.m. today, and there were already more than a million viewers online. It was resurrected with full health!! By 7:30, after the morning exercise ended, the number of viewers online had exceeded 2.8 million. To be able to do this at this time, to the program team, it was undoubtedly a knife stabbing their buttit was an eye-opener. Gao Yueban was overjoyed. Its still Miss Lis suggestion! This data is really awesome! Yu Jing walked over and looked at the data. Impressive! The director sat on the bench awkwardly and did not dare to make a sound. Gao Yueban extended his leg and kicked the leg of the directors bench. Why arent you barking anymore? The director: With this data, he couldnt bark even if he wanted to Who knew that Miss Lis suggestion was so awesome! Director Gao said earnestly, Go apologize to Miss Li. Your attitude just now was really bad. If I were Miss Li, I would have given you an earful! The director: Also, just because Miss Li doesnt mind doesnt mean that her husband wont be angry when he finds out. Let me give you a piece of advice. Dont offend the big shot. The director: ? Li Xiwus husband had a powerful background? Perhaps only Director Gao knew this. However, the director had to admit that Push Back was indeed a light touch. Xie Wens lead and slogan were the most important, but if Li Xiwu had not racked her brains to think of this method, the live broadcast data would have been a pile of mud. The director felt guilty and apologized to Li Xiwu obediently. Around nine in the morning, on Weibos trending list, a trend called #Push Back Exercise # appeared fifth on the trends. The title confused many. The netizens thought about it. They had only heard of Push Back Pictures. What kind of new invention was Push Back Exercise? They clicked on it [Cao Da will probably be dumbfounded when he wakes up. Songs that are already popular have become popular again this morning!] [Should I say it or not? Mother-in-Law Joy is the most copyright-conscious variety show Ive ever seen.] [No one slacked off during todays live broadcast!] [Xie Wen performed so well. She taught everyone to do their exercises. In the end, they relied on Xie Wen to shout the slogan and lead everyone.] [My youth is back! Xie Wen will definitely be famous again!] [Talented Wenwen is back.] [Im looking forward to the day Xie Wen becomes famous in the entertainment industry again!] [Xie Wen is awesome. Her performance today was the best.] Meanwhile, Chi Xu also saw the trends on Weibo. He saw that the netizens were all praising Xie Wen and looking forward to her returning to her peak state! Xie Wen, who had taken a shower after exercising, was sitting by the bed playing with her daughter, who had just woken up. Chi Xu approached from behind. Wenwen. Xie Wen turned around. There were only three of them in the room. The atmosphere was very warm, but when Xie Wen turned around and saw Chi Xus expression, her heart tightened. Chi Xu walked up to Xie Wen and slowly squatted down to hold her hand. Xie Wen subconsciously shrank back, but Chi Xu held her tightly. She asked, Whats wrong? Chi Xu slowly tilted his head on Xie Wens thigh. Wenwen, I was very afraid when I saw those comments online. Xie Wen said, Huh? Chi Xu said, Those people want you to go back to the past, but if you get busy, we wont be together much. Can you bear to? Im so afraid of being forced to separate from you. Xie Wen was silent. Chi Xu raised his head and looked at Xie Wen deeply. You know that the premise for me to always love you is you have to always be by my side. Dont lie to me. Can you do that? Xie Wen swallowed. Chi Xu, dont be like this. How could I leave? Chi Xus gaze was slightly cold. You have to swear. If you leave me one day, I will die. Can you bear to see me die because I lost you? Can you bear to? Xie Wens heart tightened. Didnt we agree not to mention these words at the drop of a hat? Its inauspicious. Youll be fine, and Ill always be by your side. Look, dont we have Shenshen? With that, Xie Wen changed the topic and pulled Chi Xu to look at her daughter on the bed. Chi Xu smiled. Wenwen, its good to have you around. Xie Wen smiled faintly, but her heart felt like it was being clenched tightly by a hand. She was almost out of breath. She thought about leaving many times, but she was afraid to leave. Chi Xu said that he would die if she left. He was not joking. Later on, she got pregnant, but she still had countless thoughts of leaving. Every time this thought appeared, Chi Xu would always notice. He would humbly beg her not to leave him. She was his life. One step at a time. It seemed that she could never leave him again At this moment, Zheng Yuehua walked in. The moment she entered, she saw her son lying on Xie Wens lap. Zheng Yuehua walked over with a cold expression. Xie Wen. Xie Wen pushed Chi Xu away and stood up. Mom. Zheng Yuehuas expression improved a little. Youve really brought me glory today. I saw the Internet praising you too. I heard from the director that the live broadcast just started and the comments were all praising you. Your performance was not bad. Xie Wen explained, Actually, it was all Miss Lis idea. Zheng Yuehua was stunned. Then, she raised her voice in agitation. Her idea? Isnt it you? This voice shocked Shenshen on the bed and she burst into tears. Chi Xu picked up his daughter immediately. Seeing that Chi Xu was carrying her daughter, Xie Wen was relieved. She turned around and said, Miss Li told me the method she thought of and asked me to lead. She also thought of the slogan. Zheng Yuehuas expression did not look good. Its all your credit anyway. Its fine if you claim it. She just used her brain. Youre the one who worked hard. Xie Wen pursed her lips. Mom! Zheng Yuehuas expression did not look good. Little Xu, Ill bring Wenwen down for breakfast. Watch over Shenshen. Before Chi Xu could respond, Zheng Yuehua hurriedly pulled Xie Wen out of the door. As soon as she came out, she bumped into Pei Jingzhou. Zheng Yuehua smiled politely and hurriedly pulled Xie Wen to the other side. She did not go downstairs, as if she had something to say in private. Pei Jingzhous expression was cold. The sound from inside the opposite door was almost clearly audible. Taking his wifes credit? Very good! Pei Jingzhou took out his phone and called Chen Xin. Send me Director Gaos number. He hung up. In less than ten seconds, Chen Xin sent Gao Yuebans number to Pei Jingzhous phone. Pei Jingzhou called and the other party picked up. Who is it? Pei Jingzhou! Pei Jing President Pei, hello. Are you upstairs? Do you need anything? Ill get someone to arrange for it to be sent up to you immediately. When Gao Yueban heard that it was Pei Jingzhou, his voice changed in shock. Pei Jingzhou said coldly, Move the live broadcast of Group Three upstairs. Group Three has a talent show. Chapter 76 - 76 The Entire Internet Knows! Shocking! 76 The Entire Internet Knows! Shocking! Gao Yueban also received a call yesterday afternoon and learned that Miss Lis husband would come later. Moreover, this call was specially called by Miss Lis husbands assistant. Gao Yueban asked something out of curiosity. The other party only said that he was Mr. Peis assistant. Mr Pei? Which Mr. Pei? The assistant lowered his voice and said, The Pei Corporation. When Gao Yueban heard this, he was almost scared to death. After receiving the notice in advance, Gao Yueban was not calm in the afternoon. Therefore, when the husbands of the other three groups arrived, only Miss Lis husband did not come. Gao Yueban did not ask or rush him. Who would dare to rush this big shot of the Pei Corporation! Thinking back, the person who took the initiative to contact the variety show organizers to participate in the variety show was Han Qianye herself, but Han Qianye refused to give him any background information. It was only after Lin Yourong, who had participated in the variety show last season, appeared that he found out that Han Qianye had been recommended by Lin Yourong to participate. The entire production team only knew that Han Qianye was from a wealthy family. However, they did not know that it was the top wealthy family of the Pei family! She was countless times more impressive than Lin Yourongs background! A talent show? Are we going up now? Gao Yueban, who had received the notice, was very confused. Pei Jingzhou: Do you have a problem with that? No, no, no. How could he have any objections? However, wasnt Group Three Xie Wen and her mother-in-law? What talent show? He remembered that it had only been a while since the broadcast started and breakfast was ready. Xie Wens mother-in-law had gone upstairs to call Xie Wen down for breakfast. Why was she preparing for the talent show so quickly? However, Gao Yueban did not dare to ask. Since President Pei had instructed him, he immediately made arrangements. Group Threes live-stream, go to the attic. Yu Jing immediately arranged for the cameras and cameraman. Min Hanrong, who was sitting at the dining table, asked, Why arent Sister Zheng, Wenwen, and her husband down yet? Wu Jiacheng peeled a boiled shrimp for Tao Jing and casually said, They have a child. I guess the child is making a fuss now? Tao Jing ate the prawns Wu Jiacheng had peeled for her. I think so. Wenwens child is especially cute. Wu Jiacheng smiled and asked, Why dont we have one? Tao Jing pouted. Not so early. Well talk about it in two years. Min Hanrong stood on her daughter-in-laws side. A woman cant give birth easily with just a word. Only women know how difficult the process is. I support Jingjing giving birth a few years later. Dont suffer so early. Most mothers-in-law couldnt wait for their daughters-in-law to have children. Min Hanrongs words were undoubtedly recognized by everyone. [If only all the mother-in-laws in the world were like Min Hanrong.] [Its hard to disagree. Men all think that its over once the women give birth. Only women know how hard this pregnancy is.] [Tao Jing is so happy to have a mother-in-law like Min Hanrong.] [Xie Wen and Xu Muzhen are also very happy. They both have a good mother-in-law.] [Li Xiwus mother-in-law is fine. I just keep feeling that theyre familiar with each other because theyre on a show. They didnt seem familiar before] [Those who didnt watch the live broadcast this morning, quickly post it. Li Xiwu actually slacked off today.] [After watching the live broadcast of the trending topics on Weibo, Li Xiwus behavior is very speechless. Is this the work spirit that an artist manager should have?] [I have no feelings for Li Xiwu anymore.] Li Xiwu, who was sitting opposite, was quietly eating her breakfast. She had no intention of talking. Han Qianye also ate quietly. Min Hanrong changed the topic to Li Xiwu. Xiwu, wheres your lover? Why didnt he come down for breakfast? Li Xiwu looked up. Hes dealing with work. Hell be down later. Min Hanrong nodded. Thats true. Business executives are very busy, especially executives in big companies. They control many things. She just couldnt remember if she had seen Li Xiwus lover somewhere. Last night, Min Hanrong even called her husband to ask if Li Xiwus lover looked familiar. However, her husband was too busy last night and did not have time to live broadcast, so he did not know what Li Xiwus lover looked like. He said that he could watch the live broadcast tonight when he had time. Then she would call and ask after tonight. C At the same time, in the attic. The cameraman was looking for Group Three. Someone pointed the way, and the cameraman followed that direction. On the inn terrace. Zheng Yuehua pulled Xie Wen to the inn terrace. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she said to Xie Wen, Since Li Xiwus credit is yours, take it. Dont be embarrassed. Xie Wen pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. Seeing that Xie Wen was silent, Zheng Yuehua emphasized, Did you hear me? Xie Wen looked up at Zheng Yuehua. How can you be so selfish? The director knew when Miss Li came up with this method. Zheng Yuehua placed her hands on her hips. So what if he knows? Youre the most popular. The director will side with you, right? How is it selfish of me to think for you? Whats wrong with taking this credit? Is water in your brain? Xie Wen remained silent. Zheng Yuehua became even more impolite. What kind of expression is that? Who are you showing your long face to? Xie Wen closed her eyes tightly. Im not showing a long face. I just want to tell you that I wont take Miss Lis credit. This is my bottom line. Zheng Yuehuas tone was sharp. What lousy bottom line! Is she still your manager? Shes not your manager anymore! What other benefits do you have with her? How do you expect her to help you? Shes just an employee who works on a salary. What right does she have to help you become the same as before? Seeing that Xie Wen did not refute, Zheng Yuehuas sharp tone became heavier. When the time comes, insist that its your idea. Those fans who have supported you will definitely believe you. Xie Wen looked at the greedy Zheng Yuehua in front of her. Miss Li is indeed no longer my manager, but in my heart, she will always be my best friend and a guiding light in my life. Ive already said that I wont take credit for this. You should restrain your thoughts. Dont show all your thoughts on your face. No one is a fool. With that, Xie Wen turned and left the terrace. Zheng Yuehua was furious. Youre really an ingrate! Youve been married to our family for so long, but youre still thinking of flying outside! Xie Wen stopped in her tracks. She didnt turn around. Her voice dropped a little. I should have been standing on a glamorous stage. However, her wings were broken! Xie Wen came out. After taking a few steps, she accidentally met the cameramen of her group. Xie Wen was stunned and her face turned slightly pale. You Director Gao asked me to come up The cameramans hand holding the camera was a little nervous. What did he hear!! Not only him! The live broadcast had been on, and millions of netizens watching online had all heard it. Chapter 77 - 77 The Truth Has Been Exposed! My Worldview Has Shattered! 77 The Truth Has Been Exposed! My Worldview Has Shattered! Xie Wen did not notice the strange expression on the cameramans face. Although she also hoped that this show would expose Zheng Yuehuas true appearance, every time she thought that she was Chi Xus mother, she suppressed this thought. She explained to the cameraman, My daughter was making a fuss just now. Ill go down now. The cameraman nodded and walked behind Xie Wen in silence, holding up the camera. Downstairs. Everyone sat at the table and ate. No one showed anything unusual. Xie Wen walked over naturally and sat down on the other side of Li Xiwu. Miss Li, are you eating noodles again this morning? Xie Wen knew that Li Xiwu loved noodles. Li Xiwu nodded. Did you come down alone? Xie Wen had yet to realize what had happened. As if nothing had happened upstairs, she said calmly, Yes, Chi Xu is with Shenshen. My mother is combing her hair and will be down soon. And with that, Xie Wen put on her collar mic and reached for the small bread on the plate in front of her. Just as she reached out, she sensed several pairs of eyes looking at her quietly. Xie Wen looked up. It was Tao Jing and Xu Muzhen, Min Hanrong and Xiang Lan, Miss Li and Han Qianye, Wu Jiacheng and Liang Sheng, and the cold Mr. Pei. They all looked at her. Xie Wen didnt know why, but she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face and asked with a faint smile, Did I not wipe my face clean? Why is everyone looking at me? The atmosphere went quiet again for a long time. In the end, it was Li Xiwu who broke the silence. There was a problem with the live recording just now. Your conversation with your mother-in-law came from the stereo. Everyone heard it. Xie Wen was stunned. Just a few minutes ago The atmosphere at the table was still lively. Pei Jingzhou went downstairs and sat down beside Li Xiwu. He casually took a plate of noodles like Li Xiwu. Min Hanrong was asking Wu Jiacheng about the progress of the resort project that he had personally taken over recently. As Wu Jiacheng ate, he talked about the current development progress of the resort. Xiang Lan personally wrapped a scallion pancake for Xu Muzhen. Xu Muzhen took it happily and was about to eat it when she saw the lettuce in the scallion pancake. She said pitifully, Mom, theres no meat. Beside her, Liang Sheng smiled. Why wouldnt she put meat in for you? I saw Mom put the char siu at the bottom. Eat the vegetables first. Youll be able to eat the meat again. Xu Muzhen chuckled. After a few bites, she indeed saw meat. Xiang Lan also felt a sense of accomplishment. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu, who was quietly focused on eating noodles. She wanted to call her Li Xiwu, but she felt that she was too unfamiliar with her daughter-in-law. It was better to call her Xiwu. However, the moment she opened her mouth, it was different from what she thought. She shouted, Xixi. Li Xiwu thought Han Qianye was giggling. She looked up and saw Han Qianye looking at her kindly. Li Xiwu was stunned for two or three seconds before she reacted. You called for me? Han Qianye nodded and asked, What are your plans with Jingzhou today? Whats the plan for today? Li Xiwu had no such plan. Fourth Brother is very busy. He probably doesnt have time. Just as she finished speaking, there was suddenly a screeching sound from the stereo. Director Gao stood up calmly and asked, Whats going on? Is the stereo broken? Yu Jing walked over. No way. The equipment for this show is all new. Director Gao scratched his chin. Did something go wrong with the recording? Yu Jing was about to say that he wanted to check when a conversation suddenly came from the stereo [How is it selfish of me to think for you? Whats wrong with taking this credit? Is water in your brain?] [What kind of expression is that? Who are you showing your long face to?] [Im not showing a long face. I just want to tell you that I wont take Miss Lis credit. This is my bottom line.] [What lousy bottom line! Is she still your manager? Shes not your manager anymore! What other benefits do you have with her? How do you expect her to help you? Shes just an employee who works on a salary. What right does she have to help you become the same as before?!] [When the time comes, insist that its your idea. Those fans who have supported you will definitely believe you.] After the voice came out, everyone was surprised at first. Xiang Lan asked, Whos talking? Min Hanrong could tell that it was Zheng Yuehua and her daughter-in-laws voices. I think its Sister Zheng and Xie Wen The moment that was said, everyone looked at each other with shock. At first, no one thought about Zheng Yuehua and Xie Wen, but when Min Hanrong mentioned it, everyone could tell that it was really Zheng Yuehua and Xie Wens conversation However, Zheng Yuehua and Xie Wen were not here. What was with the stereo? Soon the squeaking of the stereo stopped. Yu Jing took a look. Eh, its fixed? Gao Yueban wiped his cold sweat and said seriously, There was a small malfunction. Its not a big problem. Why did the recording suddenly go live? When Yu Jing saw Gao Yueban throw him a hot potato, he was so frightened that he quickly threw it back. Ill call the department of equipment technology and ask. Gao Yueban broke out in a cold sweat. He looked in the direction where the big shot was sitting and thought to himself, The big shot should be satisfied with this arrangement, right? However, Gao Yueban did not expect Xie Wens mother-in-law to be so vitriolic. She actually tried to take Miss Lis credit. Just this malfunction segment just now would probably bring a lot of popularity to the show. The comments went crazy [Ahhh, my favorite mother-in-laws house collapsed!] [What an eye-opener! I didnt expect Xie Wens mother-in-law to be so vitriolic in private?!] [Zheng Yuehua actually boldly asked Xie Wen to take Li Xiwus credit! Ahhh, my worldview has collapsed!] [When I think about how I was still crazily cheering for Xie Wens mother-in-law, I really want to hammer myself!] [So Li Xiwu was the one who suggested changing the morning exercise method today! Li Xiwu is too awesome!] [Everyone was saying bad things about Miss Li this morning. Zheng Yuehua said the worst things. At that time, I thought there was nothing wrong with it. Now that I think about it, Miss Li has suffered greatly.] [No one asked what Li Xiwu was doing. The first thing they said was accusation.] [Li Xiwu is really good, but everyone always misunderstands her.] [Its all Li Xiwus idea. Zheng Yuehua wants to selfishly take it. Shes too despicable!] [Shes not only despicable, but also terrifying.] [Everyone says that Xie Wen is very happy. I suddenly feel that many things are not what they seem on the surface.] [I want to know if Xie Wen is really doing well.] [Does Chi Xu know that his mother is like this behind his back?] [Im so angry, Im so angry. I feel that Xie Wen is doomed!] At this moment, the comments in the live-stream were discussing fervently. All the netizens were collectively denouncing Zheng Yuehua! Chapter 78 - 78 Collective Denouncement! The Face of an Evil Mother 78 Collective Denouncement! The Face of an Evil Mother-in-law! A phone could watch several live-streams at the same time. If one clicked on any of the live-streams in the frame, they could watch that live-stream alone. This was how they compared the popularity when they first started the live-stream. Initially, Xie Wens group created the highest popularity in a single live-stream. Today, it has once again created the highest popularity in a single group with more than five million viewers online! Everyone was discussing Xie Wens mother-in-law. Many netizens also recorded and posted it on Weibo. It quickly became popular. The attentive netizens went to find out if the various stories of Xie Wen and Chi Xu being together were as Chi Xu had said in front of the camera. At this moment. Everyone looked at the confusion and helplessness on Xie Wens face and did not know what to say. What should they comfort her with? After all, no one had expected that the good mother-in-law, who looked like she was thinking for her daughter-in-law, was actually so vitriolic behind her back. It was Xu Muzhen who spoke first and asked with concern, Sister Wenwen, do you want to eat noodles or gruel? The gruel this morning is seafood porridge. There are abalones and fresh prawns. Xie Wen had yet to answer when Min Hanrong suddenly stood up. Min Hanrong brought the plate of fried dumplings in front of Xie Wen. The fried dumplings this morning are mutton and corn filling. Theres no smell at all. Try them. Han Qianye silently poured Xie Wen a glass of milk. Wenwen, I heard from the director that this milk was fresh milk ordered last night. It was just delivered this morning. Xie Wen thanked everyone gratefully. She took the bowl of porridge and drank the milk first. Then, she picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and took small bites. It was very quiet. Li Xiwu watched quietly as Xie Wen ate the dumplings in silence. After a moment, she retracted her gaze and looked sideways at Pei Jingzhou, as if she was suspecting something. Pei Jingzhou received Li Xiwus gaze. What else do you want to eat? Li Xiwu shook her head. Im full. At this moment, Zheng Yuehua, who had arrived late, came downstairs. Coming, coming, Im coming. Zheng Yuehua walked over happily and pulled out the chair beside Xie Wen. She saw that everyone was looking at her. The smile on Zheng Yuehuas face froze. Why is everyone looking at me? Hurry up and eat breakfast. Todays breakfast is too sumptuous. With that, Zheng Yuehua picked up her chopsticks and picked up the fried dumplings. However, she did not eat it first. Instead, she placed it on Xie Wens plate and said considerately, Wenwen, this fried dumpling smells good. Try it. Xie Wen said, Ive eaten. The smile on Zheng Yuehuas face did not fade. Eat more. Look at how thin you are. My heart aches just looking at you. No one said anything. Other than Zheng Yuehuas voice, the atmosphere was strangely quiet. Zheng Yuehua did not think too much about it. Before anyone could start a conversation, she cleared her throat and deliberately said, Fortunately, Wenwen came up with such an interesting method to lead everyone to complete different morning exercises this morning. When Zheng Yuehua said this, she could not hide the smugness on her face. She was waiting for everyone to praise Xie Wen, including her. After all, the outstanding Xie Wen in everyones eyes was her daughter-in-law. However, Zheng Yuehua realized that no one spoke after she said this. The atmosphere was still quiet. The smug smile on Zheng Yuehuas face froze. She thought that no one understood what she had just expressed, so she prepared to repeat, This morning, Wenwen led everyone Mom! Xie Wens voice interrupted Zheng Yuehua. Zheng Yuehua was dissatisfied, but she did not show it on her face. She smiled kindly and asked, Whats wrong, Wenwen? Xie Wen took a deep breath. Mom, stop talking. Logically speaking, Xie Wen had already interrupted Zheng Yuehua and reminded her, but Zheng Yuehua did not understand. She even raised her voice. Aiya, Wenwen, I know youre thin-skinned, but after all, its all your credit this morning. Youre the one who led everyone to do morning exercise in a more interesting way. Xie Wen closed her eyes tightly. She was about to say something when Min Hanrong couldnt help but say, Sister Zheng, isnt this Xiwus idea? Zheng Yuehuas expression froze. She probably did not expect that after Xie Wen came down, she had already told everyone that the person who really thought of this method was Li Xiwu! Then wouldnt she have embarrassed herself by deliberately mentioning this in front of everyone just now? This Xie Wen was really something! So frustrating! Zheng Yuehua gritted her teeth in anger, but she could not show it. She pretended not to know. Really? Its Miss Li? Aiyo, Im sorry, Im sorry. I didnt know. Wenwen was the one who led everyone to do morning exercises. I thought it was Wenwens idea. The moment that was said, she had removed her selfish thoughts. Moreover, when Zheng Yuehua said these words, she used a very apologetic tone. She felt that no one would think too much about it. Min Hanrong smiled meaningfully. Is that so? Zheng Yuehua did not mind. Of course. Han Qianye suddenly shouted, Zheng Yuehua! Zheng Yuehua was shocked when she shouted. She looked at Han Qianye. Han Qianye, just call me. Why are you suddenly shouting so loudly! Actually, no matter how vitriolic Zheng Yuehua was, Han Qianye did not care. In any case, it had nothing to do with her. However, when she thought about how Zheng Yuehua had tried to let Xie Wen take Li Xiwus credit not long ago, Han Qianye was very angry. Wasnt this clearly bullying her Xixi? She couldnt even bear to bully Li Xiwu now. Why should she let these people bully her? Therefore, the more Han Qianye thought about it, the angrier she became. When she called Zheng Yuehua, she could not control her voice! Han Qianye asked, I called you because I wanted to ask you, dont you know what you said? Zheng Yuehua was stunned for a moment before asking, What did I say? Dont tell me I dont know what I said? Han Qianye, just talk normally. Why are you being so sarcastic? Han Qianye: No one present mentioned it directly. It was considered leaving some shame for Zheng Yuehua. However, not only did Zheng Yuehua not notice everyones reminder, but she also spoke rudely! At this moment, the millions of netizens watching the live-stream were about to explode [Pfft! Zheng Yuehua is so shameless!] [Im so angry! Im so angry! Zheng Yuehuas face just now was really infuriating.] [Everyone has reminded her so tactfully. Yet shes still acting.] [If I hadnt heard those conversations, I probably would have believed Zheng Yuehuas lie.] [Oh my god, Xie Wens mother-in-law is really amazing. I actually thought she was good before. No, I have to poke my own eyes.] [Help! I cant imagine what kind of life Xie Wen has with such a mother-in-law.] [Xie Wens mother-in-law is too good at acting. She must look like this when she interacts with Xie Wen, right?] [My heart aches for Xie Wen. She has such an evil mother-in-law. Hurry up and escape.] The popularity of the millions of viewers in the live-stream was still rising. The denouncing comments almost flew up! It also became a trending topic on Weibo in the shortest time possible. Soon, the entire Internet knew. Chapter 79 - 79 Couple Date 79 Couple Date On the Internet, countless netizens participated in the discussion about Xie Wens mother-in-law. Netizens comments were all about Xie Wen is too pitiful, Is Xie Wen really happy marrying Chi Xu, The life with a mother-in-law like Xie Wen should be very suffocating, and I hope Xie Wen can enter the entertainment industry again. Xie Wens former fans also took advantage of this popularity to put the television dramas and variety shows that Xie Wen had filmed in the past on the trending searches. Not long after, Xie Wens Weibo, which she had not had time to manage for a long time, fell. [After watching the fans summarize the television dramas that Xie Wen has filmed over the years, I sigh at how energetic Xie Wen was when she debuted.] [Ive always felt that its a pity for Xie Wen. Hurry up and return to the entertainment industry.] [Although there are many mother-in-laws like Xie Wens in reality, that recording screen makes me so angry! Im so angry!] [Xie Wens matter told us that we must study to death. You form a family, not a world of two people.] [Girls must enjoy their elegance at the age when they should.] [Keep the ink in your head instead of your stomach. Dont get married so early!] The breakfast ended in an eerie silence. Other than Zheng Yuehua, who had yet to realize anything. She was even in a good mood and had a smile on her face. No one had directly torn off her superficial disguise, but that was not important. Anyway, everyone already knew Zheng Yuehuas other side. However, because of this matter, Zheng Yuehua could not always appear in front of the camera. The production team had to let the netizens calm down. Otherwise, todays live broadcast would not be able to continue. Gao Yueban asked the editor to temporarily adjust todays guest mission arrangements. So they changed todays trip to a couple date with only two people. That way, the four mother-in-laws would have free time since they did not have to appear on camera. The daughters-in-law and their husbands must appear on camera and complete a full days couple date. Of course, it was only for today. After all, this was a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show. Although Gao Yueban knew that the live broadcast would not go so smoothly, he felt that no matter how rough it was, it was not a big deal. Unless a daughter-in-law got a divorce before the recording of the show ended. However, the probability of such a thing happening was minimal. No matter how much she endured, she would have to wait until the variety show was finished before getting a divorce. Unexpectedly, it was the mother-in-law whose reputation was ruined first! Todays mission was released. Millions of netizens watching online said they were looking forward to todays couple date. After Zheng Yuehuas incident, everyone wanted to see Xie Wen, but they did not want to see Xie Wens evil mother-in-law. The couple date arranged by the show was simply too good. Zheng Yuehua still did not know what was going on. At the thought that she had to take care of Shenshen all day, she felt very depressed. However, she could not show it. She still had to say kindly, Wenwen, Ill take care of Shenshen. You must have fun with Little Xu outside today. Xie Wen stood up with a cold expression. Got it. [Wenwen, ignore her!] [Zheng Yuehua is still acting like nothing happened. Im angry just looking at her!] [Wenwen must be beautiful alone.] [What should we do? Because of Zheng Yuehua, I think Chi Xu might not be a good person.] [If Chi Xus reputation was also ruined, the trending searches on Weibo that day would definitely be a big scene!] Xiang Lan didnt have much to say. She only reminded Liang Sheng, Dont let Zhenzhen eat too much sweet food. Liang Sheng smiled. Ive done a lot in controlling her intake of sweet food. Xu Muzhen pouted. The joy hasnt even started, but it ended early. During the few months of Xu Muzhens postgraduate examination, her life was extremely chaotic. She did not eat properly, which resulted in her stomach disease. Although she had recovered a lot, she still had to avoid sweet food. Xiang Lan controlled Xu Muzhens diet well, and Liang Sheng constantly urged her. [Its so funny every time I see Xu Muzhens hopeless expression.] [Liang Sheng is really a very qualified husband. Im envious.] [Stomach disease really has to reduce the intake of sweets. The body is the most important.] [Xu Muzhen is simply the funniest daughter-in-law.] Min Hanrong turned to Tao Jing beside her. Jingjing, I remember that you said before that you wanted to go to Universal Studios again? Since you have time today, let Jiacheng book the entire place to take you out for a day. Tao Jing said, Booking the entire venue is too extravagant. Its more fun with more people. Wu Jiacheng said, Lets book the entire venue. Ill just make a call. Otherwise, the queue will take half a day. Min Hanrong smiled in satisfaction. [As expected of a rich man in Xiangjiang City. Thats Universal Studios! How much does it cost to book the entire place?] [Money is willful!] [Lets change Min Hanrongs familys name to the paywall group.] [The last time I went to Universal Studios, I queued for half a day and played for twenty minutes.] [Other people who book the entire venue communicate in advance. With the Wu familys identity here, booking the venue only requires a last-minute call. Its good to be rich.] Everyone was instructing their daughter-in-law how to play and have fun. Only Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu eagerly and did not say anything. Everyone was going upstairs to change and prepare to go out today. Pei Jingzhou stood up and held Li Xiwus hand when he left his seat. Li Xiwu did not break free. She stood up naturally and walked beside Pei Jingzhou. It seemed ordinary. [Is this what childhood sweethearts look like? I feel that Sister Li and her husband talk so little.] [Li Xiwu and her husband are too compatible in appearance! But their personalities dont complement each other!] [A cold person and a sunny person are the most suitable!] [I imagined that Sister Lis partner was younger than her. That scene was really too awesome.] They went back upstairs to their room. Li Xiwu immediately took out her phone and returned the missed call. The first missed call was from Qiao Qiao. Li Xiwu called. Qiao Qiao picked it up and asked her, Are you feeling better? Li Xiwu smiled. When have I been in a bad mood? Qiao Qiao said, Thats true. You dont even care. The surroundings were silent. These words happened to enter Pei Jingzhous ears. He glanced sideways at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu sensed it and smiled calmly. She changed the subject. What else? Qiao Qiao got to the point. The episode of Palpitation Light that you participated in for me was broadcast. There are two things I have to tell you now. Li Xiwu predicted Qiao Qiaos words. Two things. One is a good thing and the other is a bad thing. Worry first and be happy later. Tell me. Qiao Qiao was silent for a few seconds. Then she laughed like a goose. Qiao Qiao said, The bad thing is that Old Yu called me and asked me to be on Palpitation Light permanently. After you went on that episode, the registration number for the show was almost exploding. I heard from Old Yu that more people have signed up in the past few days than in the past six months. These words seemed to be expected by Li Xiwu. She continued, Its not a bad thing, but Ive already guessed the good thing. Qiao Qiao snorted. I dont believe youre so godly as to predict precise answers. Li Xiwu said casually, The good thing is that I wasnt recognized when I participated in the show for you. Qiao Qiao: How could she be so accurate? Im really impressed! Chapter 80 - 80 Pei Jingzhou Is Looking for His Wife! 80 Pei Jingzhou Is Looking for His Wife! Li Xiwu asked, Then how did you reply to the director? Qiao Qiao said, I Li Xiwu said, Let me make it clear first. Its impossible for me to participate in it for you again. Just because no one recognized me this time doesnt mean that my true identity wont be exposed next time. If the outside world finds out that I, a female guest on a in-law variety show, turned around and went on a blind date show, this kind of scolding wont sound good. Qiao Qiao naturally understood this logic. She said, Dont worry. I told the director that I have a stable job now. Ill go when my job is unstable in the future. At that time, you and Pei Jingzhou will be divorced and can officially go on a blind date show. Li Xiwu ignored Pei Jingzhous existence for a moment. She couldnt help but laugh. Thats a good arrangement. As soon as she finished speaking, the phone was taken away. Li Xiwu turned around. Her phone was already in Pei Jingzhous hand. He pressed the speaker button in front of her. Thank you for your concern for my wife. I want to give you a gift. Qiao Qiao, who was laughing happily on the other end of the line, immediately stopped talking. Why did it become Pei Jingzhous voice? However, that was not the point. The point was that Pei Jingzhou said that he wanted to give her a gift. Theres such a good thing? Qiao Qiao asked nervously, What gift is President Pei going to give me? Pei Jingzhou said concisely, A lawyers letter to your house. Qiao Qiao: !!! If she couldnt afford to offend him, she could hide. Qiao Qiao hung up silently. Sigh! This petty man! Pei Jingzhou returned the phone to Li Xiwu. Are you planning to divorce me? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. This isnt about my plan. Its It was about time in the agreed marriage. The two of them should be divorced. But before she could finish, Pei Jingzhou snorted coldly. No wonder you were hoping that I would die so that you could inherit my inheritance. Li Xiwu: Heaven and earth! Although she had indeed thought so, how could she admit such thoughts? Li Xiwu smiled brightly and naturally changed the topic. Was Fourth Brother behind what happened to Xie Wens mother-in-law? Pei Jingzhous expression was calm. He did not like these unimportant topics. Li Xiwu understood. It was Pei Jingzhous doing. However, she did not expect him to take action! Seeing that Pei Jingzhou was not interested in this topic, she remembered something more important and said, I took Youan out of school and placed him with my friend for the time being. Pei Jingzhou said, I know. Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. You knew? Pei Jingzhou picked up the bag she had to carry when she went out and handed it to her. What did you think? Li Xiwu took the bag. I hope Youan transfers schools. Pei Jingzhou took a scarf and personally fastened it for Li Xiwu. Im already working on the process. Let him play for two days. Hell enter Lankas in two days. Lankas, the number one elite high school in the capital! Li Xiwu looked at him in surprise. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. He liked to see her surprised expression. It was very vivid. He asked, Now lets talk about our arrangements for today. Where do you want to go? Li Xiwu wasnt in the mood to think about that. Anything. Pei Jingzhous lips curled up. Theres a place youll like. Looking at Pei Jingzhous confident gaze, Li Xiwu pondered. The place she liked? C From the moment they left the house, every move of every couple was displayed on the live broadcast. Tao Jing and Wu Jiacheng left the inn first. The car that picked them up was a black Rolls-Royce worth at least five million yuan. The driver was wearing standard white gloves. [This is standard! A real-life version of a domineering CEO and his little wife!] [A few million yuan worth of Rolls-Royce when they go out. I cant even live like this if I started working as a caveman at the top of the mountain.] [Im tired of envying you.] [Gao Sisi from the first seasons Mother-in-Law Joy also went out according to this standard. At that time, I was always envious. In the end, as soon as the variety show ended, Gao Sisi was divorced by a wealthy family.] [I know about Gao Sisi. Theres something wrong with her brain. She was unwilling to cooperate with the treatment and even turned against the slander of her husbands family. In the end, she only divorced because it was very embarrassing.] After that, Liang Sheng drove Xu Muzhen out of the inn in a niche car that he had bought for nearly two years. Xie Wen was very worried when she handed her daughter to her mother-in-law. Especially since Zheng Yuehua did not know about the abuse online yet. If she knew, she was really afraid that something would happen. In the end, Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou got into a low-key black car. Netizens said: [I cant see any brand of car. Yes, it suits Li Xiwus husbands profession!] [This car isnt cheap either. It seems that a naked car costs a million yuan at the base, but it does match the identity of a corporate executive.] [Other than the fact that Sister Li and her husbands personalities are not complementary, their external conditions and occupations are very compatible!] [Im looking forward to Tao Jing and her husband going to Universal Studios. Theyve book the entire venue! I like to see such a rich show-off!] In the car. Li Xiwus phone was on silent. She would not be disturbed by calls and messages during this time. After more than ten minutes of driving, the car arrived at the paragliding base. Li Xiwu got out of the car. When she saw the words written on the wall, she looked a little surprised. Pei Jingzhou stood beside Li Xiwu. Is it a place you like? Li Xiwu admitted frankly, Yes. Paragliding was her favorite aeronautical sport. Whenever she had time, she and Qiao Qiao arranged to come to the paragliding base to play. This paragliding base was the largest paragliding base in the entire capital. She had come with Qiao Qiao once before, but she had bumped into Pei Jingzhou that time. At first, she thought it was just a coincidence. After all, there were fewer girls and more boys who liked air sports. Until she found out that this paragliding base was a construction project funded by Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou held her hand. Lets go. Theyre already waiting. Li Xiwus thoughts returned and she followed Pei Jingzhou. They? Who else? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Youll know later. They entered the paragliding base together. Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Two voices spoke at the same time. Li Xiwu looked into the distance and saw He Wang and a young man wearing a mask and sunglasses beside him. It was Pei Youan! Pei Youan ran over like a magpie. He raised the sunglasses on his nose bridge and said, Sister-in-law, youre finally here. I brought my precious knee guard equipment. Lets go and take a look. The young man invited her warmly. Li Xiwu found it difficult to refuse. Okay. The camera followed Li Xiwu. The netizens recognized this young man as her brother-in-law and kept sending comments. Pei Jingzhou looked at He Wang, who was walking over. Why didnt you fly? He Wang smiled innocently. Its that kid Youan who refused to fly. He insisted on waiting for Li Xiwu to come. Pei Jingzhous face darkened. Lets go. They talked about work, their pace no more than ten minutes slow. When they reached the lawn, there were only a few professional coaches and Pei Youan standing there. Li Xiwu was no longer there. Pei Jingzhou walked over and asked, Wheres my wife? At this moment, someone said Your wife is in the sky! Chapter 81 - 81 At Sister 81 At Sister-in-laws Beck and Call, Explicitly Priced His Brother [Awesome! Li Xiwu can paraglid alone!] [Li Xiwu was very skilled when she was preparing just now. Its obvious that she plays this often.] [Especially the tug in the sky. I was afraid just looking at it from outside the screen. Yet Li Xiwu is so calm.] [That handsome mans godly answer just now was too awesome!] [Im dying of laughter. Hahaha, your wife is in the sky!] [Hubby is a step late, and Wifey is in the sky!] [At first glance, it sounds like a joke, but this handsome man seems to be right.] [This paragliding base is the largest in the capital. Its so expensive.] [No matter how expensive it is, can it be more expensive than booking Universal Studios? Thats all.] Li Xiwu enjoyed the ten minutes of flying freely in the sky. The helmet blocked part of the noisy wind. The goggles covered her eyes. She looked down and could see the huge lawn below. She saw Pei Jingzhou in the crowd. She recalled that when she first learned to paraglide, it was Pei Jingzhou who took her flying. She was very perceptive and learned very quickly. Coupled with her courage, she could fly solo after a few times. In Pei Jingzhous words, her wings grew harder as he taught her. On the lawn. Pei Youan kept looking up. Wherever Li Xiwu went, his gaze shifted. Sister-in-law is too awesome. Is there anything she cant do! He Wang smiled. This is called omnipotence. Pei Youan said, Brother Wang, your words are precise. He Wang took the opportunity to suggest, Do you want me to take you? Pei Youan refused. I have a brother. He Wang laughed out loud. Am I not also your brother? Pei Youan reminded He Wang, Arent you a grandson? He Wang: ? Pei Youan said seriously, I heard my brother say last time that someone, whom you pried out of the project, called you a turtle grandson in front of you. He Wang: He Wang turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Fourth Brother, youre being unkind. Pei Jingzhou glanced at He Wang from the corner of his eye. Did God hold an umbrella for you when he spread his wisdom to the mortal world? Naturally, he did not say that, but He Wang fell for Pei Youans trap! Pei Youan watched the show and did not mind causing trouble. He did! I saw it with my own eyes. He even held a Vajra Umbrella. Not a single drop of wisdom spilled on Brother Wang. He Wang was both angry and amused. He raised his hand and waved it at Pei Youan. Brat, youre asking for a beating. Pei Youan shouted as he dodged, Is one not allowed to tell the truth these days. Is there no law? He Wang chased after him. Not in Cambodia. They dont provide anesthesia when getting out the kidneys. Do you want me to take you there? Pei Youan hid to Pei Jingzhous right. Im not going. If I go, my organs would be emptied. When I come back, Ill become a mummy Hey, hey, hey, Brother Wang, Im already at the safe house. You cant catch me anymore. He Wang grabbed Pei Youans arm. Who said that hiding behind your brother would be safe? Youre too naive. [Oh my god, these two are simply a pair of clowns!] [I thought it was boring to watch a paraglider. These two are simply the center of attention. Im dying of laughter.] [Brother-in-law is too cute. I want to kiss him.] [I didnt laugh at anything else, but that sentence about a safe house made me laugh. There are safe houses within a meter of my biological brother.] [This handsome man called Brother Wang is also so handsome.] [Can the brother-in-law take off his mask? I want to see his true appearance.] Originally, many netizens had surged into the first groups live-stream. Tao Jing and Wu Jiacheng had already arrived at Universal Studios. Before they arrived, they had called and cleared the area in advance. After the couple arrived at Universal Studios, the manager came out to welcome them personally. The netizens were enlightened! If not for the fact that the Wu family was so rich, netizens would have thought that it was a segment arranged by the production team. However, no one would doubt the reputation of the richest man in Hong Kong. Tao Jings group had more than three million viewers online. The other three groups were originally equally popular. Now, in Group Fours live-stream, with Pei Youan and He Wang, the two jokers, their popularity ranked second. Pei Jingzhou watched the two childish people fool around and pursed his lips. Li Xiwu was about to reach the landing field. Pei Jingzhou ignored the two of them and turned around to go halfway up the mountain. The camera also left with Pei Jingzhou. At the landing pad halfway up the hill, Li Xiwu landed steadily. The umbrella suit was venting. It would be a little troublesome to remove her equipment herself. It was no more convenient than when she was wearing it. Pei Jingzhou walked over casually. Did you have fun? Li Xiwu looked up and saw Pei Jingzhou walking over. The joy she felt when she landed quickly disappeared. Its fine. The two of them were supposed to fly together, but she went up alone and left Pei Jingzhou below. She still felt a little guilty about the production team. Pei Jingzhou helped her remove her equipment. They were very close. His words landed in her ear. You had fun, but what about me? Li Xiwu suggested directly, Why dont we fly again together? Pei Jingzhou removed the last layer of equipment and smiled faintly. Whats the point of playing it twice in a row? Arent you tired of it? Li Xiwu sensed Pei Jingzhous smile and knew that he was not angry. Its fine to play again. I still want more. Pei Jingzhou bent down slightly and the smile on his lips deepened. Are you sure? Li Xiwu smiled. Fourth Brother doesnt want to? Pei Jingzhou pressed his lips to her ear. Why wouldnt I? I cant wait. Li Xiwu did not resist such closeness. The camera was live. The two of them were husband and wife. Netizens liked to watch them getting intimate. Just as Li Xiwu had thought [Ahhh, I love this mature tug.] [My heart aches for Sister Lis husband just now. He can only stand there alone and watch his wife fly. Next, my heart aches that Im going to be fed dog food.] [Li Xiwus husband is really handsome and charming! Most importantly, hes successful in his career!] [Please, can you bring a camera to the sky? I want to experience a free paragliding flight.] [I dont want to eat dog food on the lawn. I want to eat dog food in the sky.] Li Xiwu followed Pei Jingzhou out of the landing field and back to the paragliding base at the top of the mountain. Pei Youan brought Li Xiwu a few bottles of drinks. Sister-in-law, do you want soda or black tea? Theres also mineral water and coconut water. Li Xiwu looked at it. Black tea. Pei Youan handed the black tea to Li Xiwu and asked Pei Jingzhou, Brother, I have soda, mineral water, and coconut water. Which one do you want? Ill give a family discount, its not expensive. Pei Jingzhou: He Wang laughed at the side. Youre at Sister-in-laws beck and call but you priced your brother. Brat, you know how the world works. Pei Youan turned around and asked, Brother Wang, what are you buying? He Wang said, Do I have to buy it with our relationship? Pei Youan said seriously, Relationship? What relationship? Did you save my life? He Wang: ..! Pei Jingzhou asked for a bottle of black tea, but there was no more black tea in Pei Youans hand. The only bottle was given to Li Xiwu. Pei Jingzhou looked at Pei Youan. Do you know how to do business? If you dont have it, then go buy the goods. Pei Youan agreed. Give me two minutes! Right away! The young man ran quickly. One round trip took less than a minute. Panting, he handed the black tea to Pei Jingzhou and showed him the receipt code. Brother, 500 yuan! Chapter 82 - 82 Li Xiwu Is Very Like Little You 82 Li Xiwu Is Very Like Little You Pei Jingzhou was very generous. He took out his phone and transferred a thousand yuan to Pei Youan. Li Xiwu suppressed her smile and looked at Pei Jingzhou. Youan has the potential to be a profiteer since he was young, like you. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Im a profiteer? Li Xiwu said, I didnt say that directly. Beside them, He Wangs mouth was full of dog food. Enough, you two. Hurry up and go to the sky! [Im dying of laughter. All businessmen are evil.] [Brother-in-law is a capable person. He has the potential to be an unscrupulous businessman since he was young. If you follow him, you will definitely make a fortune.] [Free for Sister-in-law, but charged for Brother. This brother-in-law is really making me laugh to death.] [Ill ask again. Why is Brother-in-law always wearing a mask and sunglasses? His biological brother is so handsome! Brother-in-law must be very handsome too!] Many netizens became even more curious about Pei Youans appearance. Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu went to put on their new equipment. The cameraman suggested putting a camera on Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu thought it was fine, but Pei Jingzhou disagreed. We have something to talk about. The cameraman said nothing. Before the paraglider rose into the air, Li Xiwus expression was as calm as ever. After rising into the air, the wind under the helmet became very noisy. Pei Jingzhous amplified voice sounded in her ear. Li Xiwu, are you afraid? The wind was too noisy. Li Xiwu replied, Im not afraid. Pei Jingzhou said, Im afraid. Li Xiwu didnt seem to have heard him clearly. What? Pei Jingzhous voice wrapped around the wind in her ears. So you have to hold on to me tightly. Li Xiwu only smiled and continued to admire the scenery that she had not seen while flying alone. C On the lawn. Pei Youan looked at the paragliding in the sky and said, Every time I paraglide, I feel like a bird flying freely in the sky. I didnt have to study or take the college entrance examination. If only I could be a bird flying freely. He Wang looked in the same direction as Pei Youan and raised his hands to stretch his arms. I used to pee freely too, but I cant anymore. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. Pei Youan: Free bird vs free piss. Okay, you win. In the end, Pei Youan sold He Wang a bottle of mineral water for 1,500 yuan. He Wang was unwilling to pay. Why should your brothers bottle of black tea cost 1,000 yuan while mine costs 1,500 yuan? Pei Youan replied seriously, I heard that youre a big sucker. He Wang laughed angrily. Who told you that? Pei Youan shrugged. Isnt that something everyone knows? He Wang: In the end, He Wang really did what a sucker did. He took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and paid. He asked, What do you think were here for? To liven up the atmosphere? Pei Youan said, A third wheel. He Wang put away his phone and turned around. Im leaving. Pei Youan pulled He Wang back. Brother Wang, since youre already here, why dont you play once? Ill take you. Ill give you a friendly discount. He Wangs lips twitched. Its fine if you earn your brothers money at your brothers paragliding base, but you plan to continue earning my money? He seemed to have accidentally exposed something. Pei Youan did not realize what He Wang had exposed just now. You dont even know how difficult it is to see my brother once. Sister-in-law was the one who fought for this opportunity for me. Its not easy to see him again. Of course Ill go crazy for money. He Wang squinted. Another thousand? Pei Youan said shamelessly, A little more. Five thousand. He Wang turned to leave. I know how to play myself. Pei Youan refused to let go. Its much more romantic with two people. He Wang said, Get lost. The person who told him to get lost flew into the sky with Pei Youan ten minutes later. [It all depends on Brother Wang!] [The conversation between the two of them is really making me die of laughter. Its so interesting.] [I love the brother-in-law so much.] [Free birds and free piss. Laughing so hard I almost lost my false teeth.] [Damn! What did I just hear? This paragliding base belongs to Li Xiwus husband?] [F*ck, f*ck!! Li Xiwus husband owns the most expensive paragliding base in the capital!!] [Is Fourth Brother really an ordinary company executive?] [I thought Wu Jiacheng was awesome when he booked the entire Universal Studios. The real awesome thing is here! An entire paragliding base!] [Why havent we heard from the intelligence army!] [Could it be that Li Xiwus husbands identity cant be exposed?] Many netizens began to guess the true identity of Li Xiwus husband. To be able to own an entire paragliding base, he was definitely not just a slightly rich executive! C In the inn. Han Qianye was bored and prepared to leave the inn to return to the Pei Residence. She called Han Pin. Are you still in Fu Town? If you are, drive me back to the Pei Residence. Han Pin was also watching the live broadcast. He knew that there were no scenes of Han Qianye today. He agreed first. Give me ten minutes. Han Qianye said, Okay. Ten minutes later, Han Pin drove an old car to pick Han Qianye up. Han Qianye was a little speechless. You should have changed cars long ago! Han Pin smiled. I cant bear to part with it. Han Qianye got into the car. The car drove away. Gao Yueban stood on the steps outside the inn drinking iced black tea. When Han Pin drove the car over, he was standing here. His assistant was also here. The junior assistant said, Director Gao, did you notice? The design of the car just now looked very dated. Gao Yueban nodded. Yes, its very dated. The junior assistant continued, But in this era, cars of this style have long been eliminated. Gao Yueban turned his head silently. The junior assistant looked confused. Could it be that this car is very expensive? Gao Yueban explained to his junior assistant, There are only 27 Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn Springfield editions in the world. Ordinary VIPs are not qualified to buy them. It can be said to be VIPs among VIPs. The junior assistant fell silent. Gao Yueban fell silent after saying that. After a moment of silence, Gao Yueban said what everyone was thinking. There are so many rich people in the world. Why cant I be one of them? Meanwhile, in the car. Han Qianye called Lin Yourong. Rongrong, are you coming out today? Lin Yourong had yet to watch the live broadcast today. She asked, Whats wrong? Han Qianye explained the situation. Lin Yourong said, Then lets meet at Herti! After hanging up, Han Qianye thought about going to take care of her face with her friends later and was in a good mood. Han Pin glanced at the rearview mirror. Qianye. Han Qianye nodded. Yeah? Han Ping asked indirectly, Dont you think Li Xiwu is very similar to Little You? Han Qianye said truthfully, They do look a little alike. Han Pin said, Right? From the first time I saw this child, I felt that she looked like Little You. Moreover, theres something very important. Her surname is also Li! Han Qianye sighed. No matter how similar they are, theyre not the same person. Xixis cold personality is different from Little Yous personality. Putting aside the difference in personality, theres also a difference in looks. Moreover, Little You has long Chapter 83 - 83 Li Xiwu Is the Best Continuation 83 Li Xiwu Is the Best Continuation Han Qianye didnt continue saying. It stopped abruptly. The atmosphere in the car suddenly fell silent. After a moment of silence, Han Pin said, Little Yous personality is different from Li Xiwus, but considering from a different perspective, Li Xiwus personality is quite like Old Lis. Li Xiwus personality was like Li Huaishengs! These words unintentionally reminded Han Qianye. She didnt think so before because she didnt have much contact with Li Xiwu. She had only met her a few times in the past three years. This time, after interacting with more variety shows, she realized that Li Xiwus personality was indeed a little like Old Li. Han Qianye said calmly, Now that you mention it, Xixi does look like Old Li. Han Pin saw that Han Qianye agreed with him. However, it might just be fate. Han Qianye nodded. As you said, it should be fate. It might have been fate that Jingzhou placed Xixi by his side back then. Little You cant be by his side. Xixi can always be by his side in Little Yous place. Its another point of view, although it didnt sound that good. Han Pins face was filled with emotion as he recalled the past. Old Li has dedicated his entire life to the country. He only has one wife and one daughter in his life. I thought that Little You would be his best continuation in life, but who knew that his life would be full of trouble? Ah, every time I thought about it back then, I felt wistful. He could have returned to the country I just didnt expect to see a girl who looks like Little You again after a few years. Im more willing to believe that this is a continuation of the unseen world. It depends on whether Jingzhou will cherish it. Han Qianyes expression immediately became serious. Last night, Jingzhou told everyone about his past with Little You as his with Xixi in front of so many people. Im still angry. This is not only disrespectful to Li Xiwu, but also disrespectful to Little You. Dont mention Little You anymore. Let bygones be bygones. Han Pin smiled. Alright, lets not talk about it. Unknowingly, the car had already driven into the city. When the topic returned to Li Xiwu, Han Pin said, But I realized that youre quite concerned about Little Li now. Han Qianye did not reply. Han Pin teased, I remember that not long ago, you were hoping that Jingzhou and Little Li would divorce as soon as possible. Han Qianye: Did she? Why didnt she remember this! C The car arrived at the Pei residence. Just as Han Qianye was about to get out of the car, Han Pin casually asked, Where has Qingji been recently? Han Qianye looked at the time on her phone. At the company. Han Pin nodded. Okay. A few minutes after Han Qianye went in, Han Pin found Pei Qingjis number and called him. He asked with a smile, Where are you, Brother-in-law? Pei Qingjis voice was serious. The company. Han Pin said, Im here to talk to you about something. Pei Qingji said, Im busy. Han Pin smiled. Busy fishing somewhere? Pei Qingji remained silent. Han Pin laughed even louder. Dont worry. Qianye isnt by my side. You can keep your fishing rod. Besides, I heard from Qianye that shes going for a beauty treatment. After a few seconds of silence, he heard Pei Qingjis voice on the phone. Lake Roman. Han Pin said, Will be right there. After hanging up, Han Pin laughed out loud. This brother-in-law of his was famous for being a commercial sniper back then. He was very majestic and no one could afford to offend him. Originally, this brother-in-law was very carefree before he got married, but after he married his sister there were no afters anymore Putting away his phone, Han Pin was about to drive to Lake Roman. He suddenly thought of something and took out her phone again to make another call. After the call was picked up, Han Pin raised his phone to his ear. This is Han Pin. On the other end of the line: Professor Han, go ahead. Han Pin said, Please help me check the visit records of the Li Mansion for the past four years. In particular, have any girls called Li Xiwu visited the Li Mansion? Send them to me when you find out. Thank you. On the other end of the line: Okay. After giving his instructions, Han Pin hung up. Setting the phone aside, he sighed wistfully. The Li Mansion had been empty for more than four years. Other than the fact that people kept visiting at first, fewer and fewer people went there later. He thought it unlikely, but it was never wrong to check. Otherwise, he could not understand why Jingzhou would be ridiculous enough to find a substitute to keep by his side. This was definitely not Jingzhous personality. C At the paragliding base. Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou had already landed steadily. The cameraman also arrived immediately before the landing, recording the entire descent. Li Xiwu took off her helmet. Her messy hair cascaded behind her, accompanied by the autumn wind. She handed the helmet to Pei Jingzhou with one hand and combed her slightly messy hair with the other. Pei Jingzhou handed the helmet to the staff and reached out to tidy Li Xiwus slightly messy hair naturally. Li Xiwu was used to Pei Jingzhous intimate behavior. She asked casually, Fourth Brother, where are we going later? They had to spend the entire day together on camera and complete the couple date arranged by the show. From the moment they set off to the paragliding base, she had been flying alone and with Pei Jingzhou. She felt that it was probably five or six in the evening. In the end, only two hours had passed. It was still early. Pei Jingzhou tidied her hair. Is there anywhere you want to go? Li Xiwu thought for a few seconds. No. Actually, there was no need to think, but if she answered too directly, the netizens would definitely start guessing. At the thought of this, Li Xiwu felt that she had quite a working spirit. Pei Jingzhou grabbed her wrist. How about Lake Roman? Li Xiwu said, Fourth Brother wants to go fishing at Lake Roman? Clearly she wasnt very interested. Just as she finished speaking, Pei Youans loud voice came from above. BBQ! My favorite! Sister-in-law, Brother has already arranged it! Li Xiwu looked up at the sky. Pei Youan and He Wangs paragliders were circling above their heads. They were about to land. Pei Jingzhou pulled Li Xiwu to the other side. The two of them are unprofessional. Be careful of the trouble falling from the sky. Li Xiwu laughed. Oh, then we should be careful. Pei Jingzhou was not a prophet. He only knew Pei Youan and He Wangs level of paragliding too well. As expected, less than two minutes after Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu left the landing site, not only did Pei Youan and He Wang not land well, but the two of them were also stacked together. The staff quickly went forward to vent the air out of the umbrella suit. Then they unloaded their equipment. Pei Youan tilted his upper body and placed his hand on his waist. Brother Wang, I just earned 1,500 yuan from you. I almost couldnt straighten my back when you hit me. He Wang smiled improperly. Its not that important for mens body parts to be straight except in one place. Pei Youan: What an eye-openeran eye-opener! Chapter 84 - 84 Pei Jingzhou: "According to Family Status, The Wife Eats First." 84 Pei Jingzhou: According to Family Status, The Wife Eats First. Lake Roman was a relatively neat oval with beautiful surroundings. It was a good place to fish and barbecue. At this moment, there were already several anglers sitting by the lake. Because they were too far away, she could only vaguely see their backs. Li Xiwu looked away and rested her elbows on the small round table to her left. There were various flavors of fruit wine and cut fruits on the table. Fourth Brother, are you going fishing later? If youre interested. Li Xiwu was not very interested and did not say anything. Before Pei Jingzhou came to Lake Roman, he had changed into a trench coat. At this moment, he was sitting on the other side of the small round table. He casually took a bottle of lychee fruit wine and poured two glasses. He handed the other glass to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu was used to being polite. Thank you, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhous hand paused. Li Xiwu took a sip and had just put down the cup when she heard Pei Jingzhou say, I want to eat grapes. The grapes were placed near Li Xiwu. It was not that Pei Jingzhou could not get them, but since he had spoken, Li Xiwu still pushed the entire plate of grapes in front of Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Thank you, honey. Li Xiwus retracted hand paused in midair. Then she had an epiphany. This was an innuendo that she was too polite. This person was really! Li Xiwu didnt know whether to laugh or cry. She picked up the cup and continued to drink the lychee fruit wine. It was very refreshing and fragrant. The wine smell was faint and could be drunk as a drink. There was no aftertaste. Li Xiwu quite liked this taste. Pei Jingzhou plucked a grape, peeled it, and fed it to Li Xiwu. According to the family status, the wife should eat first. Li Xiwu did not know what Pei Jingzhou was up to again. However, under the camera, she could not reject Pei Jingzhous offer to peel grapes for her. She reached out to take it. Pei Jingzhou avoided her hand. Li Xiwus hand paused in midair. The latter smiled extremely gently. Feed you. Li Xiwu sucked in her breath. She told herself she was on camera! When the grape entered her mouth, there was a hint of sourness mixed in with the sweetness. Coupled with the remaining lychee wine, the taste was surprisingly good. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Is it sour or sweet? Against her will, Li Xiwu said, A little sour. Pei Jingzhou said, Then I wont eat it. Li Xiwu: ? It turned out that he was trying to use her as a lab rat! [I thought it was too much of a show one second, but in the next second, I laughed out loud!] [Hahaha, Fourth Brother treats Li Xiwu as a lab rat.] [I wonder if anyone realized that when Fourth Brother and Sister Li clinked glasses, the rim of the glass was clearly lower than Li Xiwus.] [I can tell from this detail that Fourth Brother placed Sister Li in a very important position.] [I admit that I barked a little too loudly at first. This set of couple dates looks more interesting.] [Universal Studios booking of the venue is not down-to-earth. Sister Lis group is down-to-earth.] [This is the true play of the rich. Paragliding base, leisure time, and fishing. How interesting!] Sister-in-law, what do you like to eat? Under the parasol in front of him, Pei Youan, who was fiddling with the grill, turned around and asked Li Xiwu what she wanted to eat. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. Ill roast what I like myself. You can roast what you like. Pei Youan said, Then Ill roast a blind box. The meaning of the blind box was that Li Xiwu would eat whatever he roasted. Li Xiwu smiled and nodded. Pei Youan asked Pei Jingzhou, Brother, what do you want to eat? Pei Jingzhou: Are you charging? Pei Youan smiled in embarrassment. Brother, youre being too polite. I wont charge you for nothing. I charge by the hour. Beside them, He Wang laughed so hard that he almost couldnt straighten his back. I can tell that youre eager to be sent back to school by your brother immediately. Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips and said, I guess he thinks so too. Pei Youan panicked. Ill roast it! Cant I roast it for free?! Im just joking. Talking about money hurts relationships. He Wang asked Pei Youan curiously, Brat, are you short of money? Pei Youan shook his head. No. He Wang flipped the roasted chicken wings over and sprinkled cumin on them. Then why are you talking about money today? You make it sound like your father didnt give you money. Did you buy shoes again? At the mention of shoes, Pei Youan lowered his voice. Shh, lower your voice. Its because Ive bought too many shoes recently that my father almost froze my card. Recently, Ive been saving and earning money because Im afraid that I wont have money to spend when the card freezes one day. This is called planning ahead. You dont understand. He Wang smiled casually. Yes, what a plan. After laughing, he asked, How many pairs did you buy? Pei Youan didnt want to say it, but he wanted to show off again. He couldnt help but say, Two pairs of Air. [The brother-in-laws parents are very strict. Theyre going to freeze the card just because he bought two pairs of shoes?] [What shoes? They have to be raised to the level of freezing bank cards.] [Probably a few thousand yuan. The brother-in-law is not an adult yet. Its normal to control his expenses.] [The entire paragliding base belongs to Fourth Brother. Isnt buying two pairs of shoes worth a few thousand yuan just plucking a strand of hair from a sheep? Unless theyre not that rich at all!] [Is it possible that Brother Wangs casual words were just a joke, but everyone took it seriously?] [I also think everyone took it seriously. Its impossible for such a big paragliding base to belong to Li Xiwus family!] Originally, when the netizens found out that the entire paragliding base was Li Xiwus house, they were stunned. Now that it had risen to the point of freezing the bank card because of two pairs of shoes, the netizens felt that the news that He Wang had accidentally revealed should be just a joke. Yet, the netizens took it seriously. However, in fact Did they have to freeze the card after buying two pairs of shoes? Yes, they had to! He Wang said calmly, It must be joint edition. Pei Youan refused to admit it at first. No, its not. I just took a fancy to it and bought two pairs. He Wang smiled meaningfully. Thats true. Your aesthetic taste is not good. You just bought two pairs that suit your style. Pei Youan was anxious. Whats wrong with my aesthetic taste? He Wang smiled but said nothing. Pei Youan was determined to prove his aesthetic taste. A pair of joint editions of UNDEFEATED and a pair of joint editions of Staple X. Which pair doesnt have top-notch aesthetic taste?! He Wang laughed out loud. Goading really works. Pei Youan: The live-stream suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Then, the comments flew [F*ck, one pair costs more than a million yuan, and another pair costs nearly a million yuan Are we really living on the same planet?] [Freezing the card? Good job! Uncle, good job in freezing the cards!] [This is too exaggerated! How can it be so much money!] [Its normal for people who dont know about shoes not to believe it. Those who know about shoes have knelt down.] [The invisible dazzling is even more fatal.] [Sorry, I barked a little too loudly just now! Young Master is the real Young Master!] [I remember that the young man who Mother Dragon personally went online to refute the rumors was also a shoe player. In the past, many of the Weibo posts were related to shoes.] [Why does my brother-in-law always wear a mask and sunglasses? Is he afraid that the teacher will find out that hes skipping class?] [I have a bold idea. Is it possible that brother-in-law is related to the young man who refutes Mother Dragons rumors?] [Theyre all teenagers, wearing masks and sunglasses the entire time Damn, did I discover something?] Chapter 85 - 85 Psychological Evaluation, Prevention Is Better Than Precedence 85 Psychological Evaluation, Prevention Is Better Than Precedence This years netizens reconnaissance was really strong! Just discussing the topic of shoes, they quickly thought of the matter of Mother Dragons Son. In the end, they realized that Mother Dragons Son and Li Xiwus brother-in-law were both teenagers of the same age. They were both in high school and liked shoes! What a f*cking coincidence! Some netizens followed the clues and went to [Handsome to No Friends]s Weibo to compare the photos. [The hairstyle is very similar! Im not sure. Ill look again.] [The mask covers the face and the sunglasses cover the eyes. Its difficult to compare carefully] [Brother-in-law, take off your mask if you dare.] [Mother Dragon only clarified that Young Master is not her son. She said that he is a friend who is a guest. Why do I feel that he is her brother-in-law?] [Brother-in-law and Li Xiwu are so close, and Li Xiwus culinary skills are so good. Damn] [Help! Mother Dragon cant be Li Xiwu, right!] At first, no one posted the topic #Li Xiwu Is Mother Dragon # because they found it unbelievable. The Mother Dragon that everyone wanted to see and the god-like existence in their hearts actually appeared on the nationally broadcast variety show? Was that possible? Obviously not. However, this years netizens were too good at reconnaissance. Other than finding out Li Xiwus husbands true identity, which was, perhaps, obstructed by something, finding out anything else was simply the incarnation of a famous detective! On Weibo, Mother-in-Law Joys superfans also filled the screen. At this moment, Qiao Qiao was also watching the live broadcast and the heated discussion on Weibo. Seeing that the netizens were about to find out that Li Xiwu was Mother Dragon, Qiao Qiao didnt have time to care so much. She quickly called Li Xiwu. Buzz, buzz, buzz. Li Xiwu, who was under the live camera, still did not know what had happened online. The phone on the table kept vibrating. She and Pei Jingzhou looked at the vibrating phone on the table at the same time. Li Xiwu calmly picked it up and looked at the caller ID. Whats the matter? Qiao Qiao called at this time. She couldnt guess what it was. As long as it wasnt a company call, there was no harm in answering it on camera. On the other end of the line, Qiao Qiao lowered her voice. Your panties are going to be ripped off. Li Xiwu: ? Qiao Qiao said, The netizens couldnt dig up Pei Jingzhous identity for a day and night. But theyre very impressive in digging up your Mother Longs identity. Pei Youan has done a great job. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhous gaze was glued to her. Whats wrong? Li Xiwu was very calm. Qiaoer picked up a cat and asked me if I wanted to raise it. She was just making it up. She didnt know if Pei Jingzhou believed her. After a moment of silence, he said, If you like it, raise it. Li Xiwu pressed the phone to her ear. What color is the cat? Qiao Qiao said, You dont care much about how popular your identity as Mother Dragon is. Its so popular that netizens think you cant escape the day of commercialization. Why dont you consider admitting that youre Mother Dragon? Otherwise, these netizens will really tear your underwear off one day. Li Xiwu smiled calmly. Is the cat docile? Although the conversation was incongruous, Qiao Qiao understood what Li Xiwu meant. Qiao Qiao said, Alright, if you deny it now, youll inevitably be recognized one day. When the time comes, itll confirm your identity. Itll ruin your good image. Li Xiwu looked relaxed. I dont have time to take care of it now. Why dont I leave it with you for now? Ill come and take a look when Im free. What she meant was that so be it. It was almost impossible to hide it anyway. Qiao Qiao said, Alright. The conversation was over. But there was something else. Qiao Qiao took the opportunity to mention it. The Fourth High School has to make an appointment with a psychiatrist. The time will probably be delayed until the end of the semester. The school wont accept the doctor we found at all. Anyway, the process is quite complicated. We can only arrange one-on-one psychological evaluation for the students after approval layer by layer. In short, its very protracted. Li Xiwu frowned. Is there another way? This This psychological evaluation needed to be done as soon as possible! Qiao Qiao sighed. I dont have the ability, but you have someone who can. One word from him and we can arrange it tomorrow. Li Xiwu said, Who? Qiao Qiao, who was watching the live broadcast, said, Turn your head and look to the left. Li Xiwu turned to her left. On the left was Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou turned his body sideways and could see Li Xiwu the moment he looked up. Sensing Li Xiwus gaze, he looked up and met her gaze. Li Xiwu looked away. I understand. She hung up, placed the phone on the table. Her fingertips pressed against her lips as she thought about how to ask Pei Jingzhou. Many high schools now arrange for psychiatrists to enter the school for one-on-one psychological evaluation and counseling. Some students were under a lot of mental pressure because of their studies. They were unable to confide in others or control their emotions. Their psychological condition would become more and more serious. The school arranged one-on-one psychological evaluations to better understand the physical and mental state of the students. Chi Xia was not mentally healthy. Although she had taken Pei Youan away, it was inevitable that Chi Xia would harm the next person. She had to take precautions. Arranging the psychological evaluation of the entire class as soon as possible was the most effective way. The psychiatrist would evaluate every student one-on-one. If Chi Xia had a problem, she would be sent for treatment. The problem now was that if she wanted to bring forward the psychological evaluation, she had to get Pei Jingzhou to take action. Would Pei Jingzhou agree to help? However, Pei Youan had already transferred away. Pei Jingzhou probably wouldnt be nosy. Not only would he not interfere, but he might also think that she was nosy. After all, the school would arrange for a psychological evaluation at the end of the semester. There was no need to be anxious. What are you thinking? Pei Jingzhous voice sounded. Li Xiwu came back to her senses. Im wondering if I should raise that cat. Pei Jingzhou refilled her glass of lychee fruit wine. Pets are like children. They need company. If you think you have time to accompany them, you can raise them. Li Xiwu casually added, Does Fourth Brother think the same about having children? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. I have enough time. Even if youre pregnant today, I can take leave from today. Li Xiwu wanted to laugh. Shouldnt I be the one on leave? Pei Jingzhou said, You take maternity leave, and I take paternity leave. Theres no conflict. Li Xiwu: They chatted today as if she would really give birth to his child. However, this was on camera. Naturally, they had to act like a loving couple. Li Xiwu straightened up. I heard that pregnant women have changed personalities during pregnancy and will lose their temper at the drop of a hat. Fourth Brother, you have to be prepared. Otherwise, youll have to suffer during this paternity leave. With that, Pei Jingzhou placed the half-filled cup of lychee fruit wine beside her hand. Then he dipped his fingertips into the juice in his glass of fruit wine and drew a circle on the table. This pancake is so big and round. Im already looking forward to it. Li Xiwu: Chapter 86 - 86 Pei Jingzhou: Legal Couple, Very Proper 86 Pei Jingzhou: Legal Couple, Very Proper To be honest, there was a moment that Li Xiwu couldnt even tell if Pei Jingzhou was really acting with her. [I dont care. Fourth Brother must want to be a father!] [I really like watching Li Xiwu and her husbands date so much that Im not in the mood to work!] [Fourth Brother must be hinting at something. Is Sister Li going to prepare for pregnancy in advance?] [Li Xiwu and her husbands genes are definitely top-notch!] [Which pregnant woman doesnt want her husband to be by her side during her pregnancy? Im so impressed.] Under the parasol in front, Pei Youan and He Wang were still discussing shoes. They discussed it with relish. For example, the new design this year and which brands were about to collaborate. Pei Youan was tempted as he chatted. Brother Wang, stop talking. Im really afraid that my father will chase me out of the house one day. He Wang said, Its fine. A new bridge has been built in the South District. First come, first serve. Ill leave the new bridge cave for you. Pei Youan: Li Xiwu listened to the two of them discuss shoes. She didnt know much, especially about the joint editions that Pei Youan had mentioned. She knew very little, so she didnt respond. It was still a little boring to just sit there. She was ready to pass the time by looking at her phone. As soon as she unlocked it, Pei Jingzhou reached out and took her phone away. Im going over there to take a look at fishing and walk around. Li Xiwu thought that was a good suggestion. She stood up. Lets go. However, when she reached Pei Jingzhous side, she requested, Return my phone to me first. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Call me nicely. Li Xiwu: This was under the camera. Pei Jingzhou, are you shameless? Li Xiwu took a deep breath and maintained a calm tone. The pockets of my jacket are shallow. Its good to leave my phone with Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou said seriously without changing his expression, My pocket is quite deep. Other than your phone, it can also keep your hand. As he spoke, Pei Jingzhou held Li Xiwus hand and stuffed it into his pocket. In the pocket of the clothes that the netizens could not see, a big hand and a small hand were clasped together. To be precise, it was a big hand wrapped around a small hand. That passive small hand had nowhere to escape and nowhere to retreat. Li Xiwu pulled her hand away. Pei Jingzhou smiled. The more you struggle, the tighter my grip is. Youre the one whose hand hurts. Li Xiwu, on the other hand, wanted to laugh but didnt. She followed his words and asked, Doesnt Fourth Brother cherish me? Pei Jingzhou said lazily, I cherish you in my heart. Well talk about the physical cherish tonight. This was neither loud nor soft. Li Xiwus expression changed slightly. She raised her other hand to cover his mouth to stop him from talking nonsense. Pei Jingzhou took the opportunity to hug her waist and kiss her palm. Li Xiwu: The kiss was like a tickle through a boot, but it made her heart flutter. He Wang felt that this scene was simply slaughtering dogs. If I had known, I wouldnt have come. Pei Youan said, Fortunately, Im not an adult and dont know what love is. He Wang snorted and picked up the chicken wing that had been roasted just enough to smell it. Kid, dont count your blessings too early. In a year or two, youll taste the bitterness of love. Pei Youan took away a skewer of He Wangs barbecue. It doesnt matter if its bitter or not. At least theres love. I cant be like you, Brother Wang. Youre 28 years old and havent tasted true love. He Wang: It was fine if it pierced his heart once. But Pei Youan pierced his heart a second time. Brother Wang, speaking of which, your love is like that old procuress waiting for a dead dog. When will it come? He Wang took off a chicken wing and stuffed it into Pei Youans mouth. If you keep talking, Ill send you back to school. Pei Youan ate his chicken wings obediently and did not dare to say anything else. It wasnt easy for his sister-in-law to pick him up from school. Brother had said that he could play for two days. He had to keep these two days safely. Pei Youan silently nibbled on his chicken wing as he looked up at the lake. At this moment, Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou were already close to the lake. Pei Youan narrowed his eyes. He hadnt realized it earlier, but now that he looked closer, he hissed Brother Wang, just now, I felt that those two backs looked like my father and uncle. I thought that it should be impossible, but now that I look at them, I still feel that they look alike. What do you think? He Wang also looked in the direction of the lake. Is there a possibility that they are? Pei Youan: ? C Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou had just arrived at the lake. They did not see Han Pin and Pei Qingji on the other side. Li Xiwu pulled her hand out of Pei Jingzhous pocket and squatted beside a fisher. She glanced at the two small carps in the bucket. Uncle, these two fish you caught arent enough to make a dish tonight. The fisher turned to look at Li Xiwu. Ill put the fish in the fish tank for viewing. I wont eat it. Li Xiwu asked, Uncle, how long have you been fishing? The fisher said, Its been five or six minutes. Li Xiwu stood up with a bright smile. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you interested? Li Xiwu was not interested at first, but after walking around just now, she realized that she was a little interested. She turned to ask Pei Jingzhou, Do you have a fishing rod? You can have whatever you want. With that, Pei Jingzhou raised his hand. Two people walked over from the other side. The two of them were each holding tools for fishing. Seeing that her equipment was so complete, Li Xiwu said in a half-joking tone, Is Fourth Brother Aladdins Magic Lamp? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Yes, so I can fulfill all your wishes. Li Xiwu was joking, but she knew that Pei Jingzhou was not joking at all. His power could indeed fulfill all her wishes. If the occasion wasnt wrong, she would have asked, Then can we get a divorce smoothly? All the warmth in front of her was thanks to another person. The love she enjoyed was also because of another person. Dont dream of getting too much from Pei Jingzhou. Everything now was enough. She adjusted the float and fishing line, hung up the bait, and was about to throw it when Pei Jingzhou took her hand. Do you know how to throw it? His body enveloped hers, his firm chest pressed tightly against her back. Li Xiwu said, Yes. Pei Jingzhou said, The way you threw the bait is wrong. Ill help you adjust it. Li Xiwu: Everything on camera was to please the audience. Li Xiwu couldnt refuse firmly. She had to cooperate with him. Okay. Pei Jingzhou leaned over slightly and said in her ear, Have your molars loosened? Li Xiwu said, Im biting it. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Then bite it hard. After all, you still have to endure for so long. Li Xiwu smiled. Fourth Brother seems to be able to read minds? Pei Jingzhou rested his chin on her shoulder. Yes. Li Xiwu found it funny. What else did Fourth Brother read? Pei Jingzhous breath landed on her neck. He enunciated each word clearly. Criticism of me. Li Xiwu almost laughed out loud. Then Fourth Brother, do you want to hear what Im criticizing? Pei Jingzhou kissed her cheek. It doesnt sound good. Li Xiwu flinched and reminded him in a low voice, Be proper. Its a live broadcast. Pei Jingzhous clear voice was mixed with laughter. How is a lawful couple indecent? Chapter 87 - 87 Pei Jingzhou Is Too Provocative 87 Pei Jingzhou Is Too Provocative It was not that Li Xiwu had never experienced Pei Jingzhous flirting methods. He was good at it. He could always easily control every subtle change in her mood and then control it ruthlessly. Although she always joked that he could read minds, he probably did. He knew her well, better than she knew herself. Li Xiwu changed her grip on the fishing rod. I want to eat grilled fish. Are you confident, Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhou pressed his cheek against Li Xiwus. I have to be. Li Xiwus eyes lit up. Then its up to Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. Okay. [Im too intoxicated by the extreme flirting.] [The key is that theyre still a real couple! Its legal flirting! Its legal!] [I like to see real couples like this. Theyre so exciting.] [Im clearly watching a couples date, but I actually feel a rush of excitement.] [This couples interaction immediately touched my er, heart.] [I really like the style today. It wont be too much to record for another two days.] _ About ten meters away were two people fishing with their heads lowered. Li Xiwu did not go over and disturb the others. She stayed here and found a suitable seat to sit down and watch Pei Jingzhou fish. Han Pin glanced to the right from the corner of his eye and lowered his voice to ask Pei Qingji, What should we do? Pei Qingji said, If you ask me, who should I ask? How could he have expected to catch his son? When he heard from Han Pin that his son and daughter-in-law seemed to be recording a show here, Pei Qingji was speechless when he saw that there was a camera. He could not greet them at all. Otherwise, if he was on camera, wouldnt Qianye know that he was fishing here? That wouldnt do. When the time came, he wouldnt be able to keep the fishing rod. This was already the 28th fishing rod. From a fishing rod worth more than a million yuan to a fishing rod worth dozens of yuan, who knew what he had experienced in between. Now that he heard his brother-in-law ask him what to do, Pei Qingji asked, What can we do? Can we slip away? Han Pin said seriously, Ill cover for you. You can slip away first. Pei Qingji was skeptical. Why are you so loyal today? Han Pin patted his chest. Are you kidding? Im your brother-in-law! Pei Qingji really believed his brother-in-law. He didnt even have time to pack his fishing rod. Keep the tools for me. Ill wait for you outside. Lets continue fishing somewhere else. Han Pin made an OK gesture. Just wait for me! Pei Qingji suddenly felt that his brother-in-law had done something today! However, this thought was too early. As soon as he got up, he heard his brother-in-law shout, Old Pei! Where are you going? Pei Qingji: When Han Pin shouted this, his voice was loud and clear. It could be heard from all directions. With Pei Qingjis bad temper, he almost couldnt help but kick Han Pin into the water. Since he had been sold, he did not stand on ceremony. He raised his voice and asked, Professor Han! Why are you so free recently? The smug smile on Han Pins face gradually disappeared They wouldnt be able to play happily together in the future. Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou were not far away from the lake, so they naturally did not ignore the voices coming from there. Li Xiwu looked up and recognized Pei Qingji. Uncle. Pei Jingzhou lowered his voice and reminded her, Wrong name. After Pei Jingzhous reminder, Li Xiwu realized that this was on camera. If she met her father-in-law but called him uncle, the netizens would probably make all kinds of guesses. She also saw Han Pin and reacted quickly. Its Uncle Grapefruit, who owns a big villa in Fu Town. This form of address sounded a little funny to Pei Jingzhou. Uncle Grapefruit? Li Xiwu explained, I was impressed by the grapefruit he sold. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Is it so sour that it left a deep impression on you? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Could he have been watching the live broadcast? Pei Jingzhou leaned close to her ear and said, Hes my uncle. Li Xiwu was slightly stunned and looked at Pei Jingzhou in confusion. Pei Jingzhous expression told her that he was not joking. Li Xiwu immediately understood. So Uncle Grapefruit hadnt lied to her that day. In terms of addressing him, she really should have called him uncle, but shed only been guessing at the time and wasnt sure. She had seen many relatives of the Pei family, but she had really not seen many of Han Qianyes relatives. It was not her fault that she could not recognize them that day. She asked, Do you want to go over? Pei Jingzhou said, Ill go over and take a look first. Ill be back soon. Okay. Li Xiwu thought so too. Pei Jingzhou could just go. She didnt have to go over. She rarely interacted with the elders of the Pei family. After being married for three years, not only did she not see Han Qianye much, but she also rarely saw Mr. Pei. She had never called him Dad. She had only heard that Pei Jingzhous father was a very powerful person when he was young. Now that Pei Jingzhou controlled most of the business empire, Pei Qingji was basically in a semi-retired state. Other than going to the company occasionally, he liked to fish to kill time when he was free. Without Pei Jingzhou, the comments in the live-stream decreased. However, the popularity of watching online did not decrease. Next, Li Xiwu focused on fishing. She rested her elbows on her thighs and rested her chin on her palms, watching the calm lake ripple from time to time. The lake water was very clear. She could see her own appearance if she looked down. As soon as Li Xiwu looked down, she saw the reflection of an old lady behind her on the lake. Caught off guard, she seemed to see a face floating up from the water and was undoubtedly shocked. She turned abruptly. After confirming that the old face did not appear in the water but was really standing behind her, her heartbeat calmed down a little. Her tone was steady as she stood up and nodded politely. Hello. The old lady looked to be in her seventies. She was wearing a long black woolen dress, and her silver hair was covered by a black hat brim. She looked very good. From the old ladys high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, she should be a foreign old lady. The old lady was also polite. Hello. Li Xiwu asked casually, Are you here to watch the fishing? The old lady smiled. Yes. This was probably the most elegant and polite old lady Li Xiwu had seen so far. From her every move, she could tell that when she was young, she must have been a white jade pearl in a high pavilion. More than that, the old lady spoke Chinese so well that the accent was barely discernible. The old lady asked Li Xiwu politely, May I sit here? That folding stool belonged to Pei Jingzhou. However, Pei Jingzhou was not back yet, so Li Xiwu naturally would not refuse. She placed the folding stool properly. Please sit. The old lady said to her, Thank you. Then the old lady brushed her skirt and sat down on the folding stool that Li Xiwu had put for her. After straightening her dress, she straightened her back without the slightest hunch. She was very elegant from head to toe. The old lady turned and said, Dont worry. Ill be quiet. I wont disturb your fishing. Li Xiwu sat down. Im not a professional fisherman. I just pass the time. Its not a disturbance. The old lady smiled. May I ask what your surname is? Chapter 88 - 88 The Daughter of an Old Friend 88 The Daughter of an Old Friend Li Xiwu answered, Li. The smile faded from the old ladys face and transformed into an expression Li Xiwu couldnt read. It was complicated. She couldnt explain it. It was as if she was looking at someone through her, but it also seems like she was the only one she was looking at. But she didnt think much of it. Because this was the first time she had seen this old lady today. Li Xiwu did not know that the netizens in the live-stream were no longer calm when the old lady appeared. Originally, because Pei Jingzhou had temporarily left, there were fewer comments. As the old lady arrived, the comments became excited [This is what a beauty should be!] [Ive never seen such an elegant old lady.] [This is probably the most elegant foreign old lady Ive ever met.] [Its obvious that she has a temperament that comes from her bones.] [The scene of Sister Li and the old lady sitting together is simply a visual enjoyment!] [Especially since Sister Li is very young and the old lady is already in her twilight years. Help! Who can draw this scene! Amazing.] [Doesnt anyone think this old lady looks familiar?] [I think she looks familiar too, but I cant remember] On the other side of the lake. Han Pin looked up and saw his eldest nephew walking over. He reminded Pei Qingji, Your good old son is here. Pei Qingji cleared his throat. Ahem youre here! Pei Jingzhou walked over and stood beside Pei Qingji. Youre in a good mood today. His gaze fell to the empty bucket beside him. Just bad luck, he added. Pei Qingji was speechless. His good old son really knew how to hurt people. Pei Jingzhous gaze landed on the fishing rod in Pei Qingjis hand. Dads fishing rod is estimated to be around 30 yuan. One slash! Pei Jingzhou said, I might have estimated it too highly. More than twenty. Two slashes! Pei Qingji snorted. The pot calling the kettle black. Ill wait to see if your fishing rod can exceed ten yuan in the future. Pei Jingzhou said meaningfully, You dont have to worry about that. Its not that Dad doesnt know that Ive been very capable since I was young. If I cant afford a fishing rod that costs ten yuan, I can make one myself. Its better than you squatting here aggrievedly and worrying that you wont even be able to keep a fishing rod that costs more than twenty yuan. Pei Qingji stood up. Its easy for you to speak while standing at the sidelines, right? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Its indeed easy for me to speak. Youre standing too. How do you feel? Pei Qingji pulled a face. Its alright. Beside him, Han Pin laughed uncontrollably. Nephew, you have the elegance of your father when he was young. Pei Jingzhou smiled humbly. Uncle, you flatter me. Han Pin smiled, but as he smiled, his smile gradually froze on his lips. Madam Di Xin Pei Jingzhou frowned and turned around. Pei Qingji also looked in that direction. The moment he saw Madam Di Xin, Pei Jingzhous expression darkened. He was about to go back when Han Pin reached out and pressed his hand on Pei Jingzhous shoulder. Jingzhou, wait a moment. Pei Jingzhou did not listen to Han Pin. He removed Han Pins hand and walked back quickly. Han Pins hand froze in midair. Pei Qingji asked, Why is Madam Di Xin here? Han Pin raised his chin in that direction. Its obvious that shes here for Little Li. Didnt you see how ugly Jingzhous expression was just now? As if it had nothing to do with him, Pei Qingji turned around and sat down. My good old son didnt inherit my love genes at all. Han Pin did not plan to go over. He sat down and said, Not necessarily. Pei Qingji sneered. Why not? After Little You left, he fell silent for a year before finding a new lover. That lover even looks like her. It seems that he likes her very much. Otherwise, he wouldnt have gotten married back then. Han Pin chuckled. As a father, dont tell me you want to see your son become depressed day by day after losing his love and be tortured by longing for her for the rest of his life? If Jingzhou really becomes like this, youll be anxious. Pei Qingji said, What Im more anxious about now is whether Qianye knows that Im fishing here. If she does, can I keep my 30-dollar fishing rod? Han Ping shifted his position. Best of luck. C Meanwhile, After Madam Di Xin sat down, Li Xiwu asked, Do you mind the camera? Were recording a show. Its live. Madam Di Xin smiled and shook her head. I dont mind. Li Xiwu smiled. Madam Di Xin looked at the bucket beside Li Xiwu. It was clean and free of fish. I can tell you havent had much luck today. Li Xiwus eyes curved. Grandpa Jiang is fishing today. Those who wish will take the bait. Madam Di Xin reached out to Li Xiwu. May I try? I havent fished in a long time, either. Sure, no problem. Li Xiwu handed another fishing rod to Madam Di Xin. For you. Madam Di Xin took it and thanked her. Then, she fiddled with it incoherently. When she didnt understand, Madam Di Xin would ask Li Xiwu. Although Li Xiwu was also a dabbler, Pei Jingzhou had taught her a little just now. It was still very easy to operate. After finally throwing out the bait, Madam Di Xin heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this set of bones isnt useless. Li Xiwu helped set up the fishing rod. Madam Di Xin turned to look at Li Xiwu with a benevolent expression. Miss Li. Li Xiwu replied, Yes? Madam Di Xin suddenly said, You look like the daughter of an old friend of mine. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She was already used to people saying who she looked like. When she heard the old lady say that she looked like the daughter of an old friend, Li Xiwu said in a half-joking tone, Probably because I have a more common face. Madam Di Xin shook her head. No. Li Xiwu looked at Madam Di Xin. Madam Di Xin smiled. Im glad I saw you today. Li Xiwu responded politely. Me too. Not just polite, but sincere. Because the old lady was elegant and polite. Li Xiwu suddenly realized that the old lady was studying her seriously and intently. She returned the old ladys gaze and smiled. Whats wrong? After a long silence, Madam Di Xin asked, Dont you remember me? Li Xiwu was stunned. She looked a little confused. It sounded to her as if the old lady had seen her before? But that shouldnt be! In her impression, there were no memories of this elegant old lady. Just now, she thought that it was because she looked like the daughter of the old ladys old friend that the old lady took the initiative to talk to her. There was no possibility that she knew the old lady. Li Xiwu straightened. Sorry, I Madam Di Xin. Pei Jingzhous voice came from behind and interrupted Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu and the old lady turned at the same time. Pei Jingzhou walked over. Madam Di Xin was about to get up when Li Xiwu helped her. Slow down. Madam Di Xin smiled lovingly. Thank you. Li Xiwu said, Youre welcome. After standing up, Madam Di Xin looked at Pei Jingzhou and greeted, Mr. Pei, long time no see. Chapter 89 - 89 Pei Jingzhous Uneasiness 89 Pei Jingzhous Uneasiness Seeing that Pei Jingzhou and the old lady knew each other, Li Xiwu immediately understood that her encounter with the old lady today was not a coincidence. But the name Madam Di Xin sounded familiar. Madam Di Xin ? In her memory, she seemed to have seen Madam Di Xin on the national news. Now, she had almost forgotten what she looked like. Could it be that the person in front of her was the wife of the former prime minister of Country T?! Li Xiwu couldnt guess correctly for a moment, so she couldnt ask rashly. At this moment, the million netizens in the live-stream could not remain calm. [Old Madam Elegant is actually the wife of the former Prime Minister of Country T!!!] [Damn, the moment I found out that she was Madam Di Xin, the entire live-stream became grand!] [No wonder the old ladys Chinese is so good. After knowing that shes Madam Di Xin, its not strange at all!] [Im the only one whos curious. Why did Madam Di Xin appear in Li Xiwus live-stream?] [An expert celebrity is most likely invited by the show, but Madam Di Xin is definitely not invited by the show! They cant afford such a person at all!] [To be able to be familiar with Madam Di Xin, the status of Li Xiwus family is not simple, right?!] The netizens in the live-stream were very excited. They kept sending comments. Even the people from the country rushed to the live-stream to investigate the situation. C China and Country T had a good relationship. As the wife of the former Prime Minister of Country T, Madam Di Xin was half Chinese. Later on, Madam Di Xins daughter entered the Chinese entertainment industry and married a superstar. Therefore, Madam Di Xin also came to China to stay for a while. Although it was not strange for Madam Di Xin to appear in China, most of the netizens were stunned and shocked when she suddenly appeared in front of the live broadcast camera of Mother-in-Law Joys variety show! At this moment, Li Xiwu was still guessing if the Madam Di Xin in front of her was the Madam Di Xin she was thinking about. Pei Jingzhou said to her, This person in front of you is Madam Di Xin. Li Xiwu immediately understood that she had guessed correctly. The person in front of her was indeed the wife of the former prime minister of Country T. At this moment, Madam Di Xin suddenly called out to her, Miss Li. Li Xiwu came back to her senses. Huh? Madam Di Xin smiled. Im glad I came here today to see you. I dont think I made this trip in vain. Think? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and asked, Did you come here specially today? Madam Di Xin nodded. Yes. She left everyone who had accompanied her outside Lake Roman to wait for her. She came in alone and only wanted to see Li Xiwu personally. She had no other thoughts or plans. She just wanted to verify for herself if the girl she had seen on the live broadcast was the daughter of her benefactor. However, she had overestimated her confidence. Even if she saw Li Xiwu in person, she could not confirm that it was her. Li Xiwu was flattered by Madam Di Xins words. Has Madam Di Xin seen me before? When she asked this question, Li Xiwu felt her hand suddenly tighten. She looked down and saw Pei Jingzhou holding her hand tightly. She did not know why Pei Jingzhou would suddenly do such a thing, so she looked up at him in confusion. Pei Jingzhous expression was calm and there was nothing unusual. Madam Di Xin smiled. Im not sure weve met, but Im going back now. With that, Madam Di Xin looked up in a direction. There were about six or seven people walking towards the lake in a mighty manner. Those people all looked like people from Country T. They must have come to pick up Madam Di Xin. Madam Di Xin looked away. Goodbye, Miss Li. Li Xiwu nodded. Take care. Before Madam Di Xin left, she stared at Li Xiwu seriously and carefully a few more times, as if she wanted to confirm in detail how much Li Xiwu resembled her benefactors daughter. However, in the end, she did not confirm it and could only leave with regret. Li Xiwu watched as Madam Di Xin and the others left Lake Roman. She turned around and found Pei Jingzhou looking at her quietly. This gaze was too deep. Li Xiwu suddenly remembered the uneasiness Pei Jingzhou had felt when he held her hand. She wondered if it was her imagination. After all, how could Pei Jingzhou be uneasy?! Avoiding Pei Jingzhous gaze, she smiled brightly. The blind box Youan roasted for me should be about ready. Fourth Brother, youll have to guard this place. Pei Jingzhous expression returned to normal. Okay. After taking a few steps, she turned back and asked, What does Fourth Brother want to eat? Pei Jingzhous expression softened. I thought that you would only think about food and not me. Li Xiwu said, Ill get Youan to send it to you later. Pei Jingzhou looked away and said calmly, Im not eating anymore. Why arent you eating? She was surprisingly patient. I dont want to eat it. He didnt sound happy. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. She suppressed a smile. About five minutes, okay? Pei Jingzhous lips curled up, and the atmosphere was silent. [I thought Fourth Brother was the mature type, but it turns out that maturity is just external. Im dying of laughter.] [How tsundere. He controlled Sister Li.] [Who said that their personalities were not compatible back then? They were clearly carefully selected by Elder Yue.] [I just want to know if Li Xiwu is Mother Dragon!] [Can you have more shots of the brother-in-law? Can I get a strong wind to blow off the mask and sunglasses on his face, too?] [Dont obsess over the brother-in-laws mask and sunglasses. Hurry up and look at the trending topics on Weibo. A group of netizens with strong detectives made a mind map about #Is Li Xiwu Mother Dragon#.] [After looking at the mind map, especially when the netizens listed that Altenis in A minor was created for Xie Wen, I can only say that the netizens are too awesome!] [If Li Xiwu is really Mother Dragon, no matter what heated discussion Li Xiwu has in the future, no one will dare to scold her again. After all, Mother Dragon has gathered too many fans in the past few years.] [Who doesnt want to have Mother Dragons fans? They will always support Mother Dragon at the first moment.] C Li Xiwu turned back to the small pavilion. He Wang was on the phone at the side while Pei Youan was lying on the woven chair and playing with his phone. Seeing that Li Xiwu had returned, Pei Youan immediately put down his phone and pushed the barbecue on the table in front of Li Xiwu. Sister-in-law, the blind box is ready. Try my cooking and give me some comments. Li Xiwu took a skewer of grilled cows throat. After eating, she commented, Its quite crispy. Your culinary skills are not bad. Pei Youans smile was dazzling. Sister-in-law, try the chicken wings. I think the chicken wings taste better. Oh right, theres also this grilled rind. Ive wrapped it with crayfish meat for you. Itll definitely satisfy you. Li Xiwu said, Im already very satisfied before I eat. It just so happened that she was also a little hungry. She sat down and prepared to eat more. Pei Youan knew that she ate spicy food. He had sprinkled a lot of chili powder on the grilled skewer rind, and he had also sprinkled a lot of chili on the other skewers. Those who dont eat spicy would frown, while those who eat spicy would drool. The cameraman zoomed in and gave several close-up shots of these barbecues. There would be editing and subtitles later. The live broadcast camera was also aimed at the entire plate of barbecue. Under the high-definition camera, the netizens drooled. Chapter 90 - 90 She Seemed To Have Misunderstood Pei Jingzhou 90 She Seemed To Have Misunderstood Pei Jingzhou He Wang walked over after answering the call. Seeing that Li Xiwu was the only one back, He Wang looked up at the lake and clicked his tongue before sitting down. Sister-in-law has been on the show recently. Fourth Brother stays alone every day. It wasnt easy for him to get on the show, but he became alone again. Li Xiwu said, Why dont you send the food over later? He Wangs smile did not fade. Fourth Brother might not want to see me. At this point, He Wang suddenly remembered something. He casually mentioned, I stayed there for a few more minutes at the Waldorf restaurant last time. In the end, Sister-in-law, you were too busy to go, so Fourth Brother blamed me. I was really wronged. However, because of this, I also realized a principle. Dont appear when you shouldnt. Otherwise, youll be unlucky. After saying that, He Wang smiled helplessly. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. The Waldorf Restaurant? He Wang smiled and suddenly froze. He glanced sideways at Li Xiwus expression. Sister-in-laws expression Did she not know? He Wang was also stunned for a few seconds. However, he did not know what had happened, so he simply said, Fourth Brother booked the Waldorf Restaurant the day before and was preparing to have dinner with you. Li Xiwu was suddenly silent. Pei Jingzhou booked the Waldorf Restaurant. Wasnt he on a date with Xue Jinzhu? Was she imagining things, or was He Wang talking nonsense? Sister-in-law? He Wangs voice came. Li Xiwu focused and replied steadily, I was too busy that day. He Wang smiled and replied, I thought Fourth Brother was already a workaholic, but compared to Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother is still better. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Did Fourth Brother wait long last time? He Wang raised his hand to support his chin. Well, it didnt take long Li Xiwu heaved a sigh of relief. However, He Wang did not finish his sentence. He paused and added, From five in the afternoon to nine in the evening. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhou booked the Waldorf Restaurant and waited for her for four hours? She suddenly remembered that when she returned to the inn the next day, she saw a dozen missed calls. They were probably all calls Pei Jingzhou had made to her during the four hours he had been waiting for her. She had never received a single call because she had muted her phone that night He Wang teased, Sister-in-law, are you feeling guilty? If you feel guilty, prepare a surprise for Fourth Brother next time. I think Fourth Brother seems to be looking forward to your surprise. Li Xiwu looked up at He Wang. President He is an honest person. He Wang said, Thats why Im telling the truth. Li Xiwu smiled back. But the smile on her lips was faint. This was under the camera of a live broadcast. She knew very well that He Wang had no need to joke with her. After all, with He Wang and Pei Jingzhous good relationship, if Pei Jingzhou really dated another woman, He Wang would naturally avoid mentioning this matter. It was impossible for him to suddenly mention this to her on camera. She seemed to have misunderstood Pei Jingzhou He Wang was about to take another skewer of barbecue. Just as he reached over, the entire plate of barbecue was taken away by Li Xiwu. He Wang: ? Li Xiwus expression was calm. This is for Fourth Brother. Roast another serving. He Wang instructed Pei Youan, Its time to work. Pei Youan put down his phone and quickly came over. Sister-in-law, remember to ask Brother to pay. Li Xiwu made an OK gesture with her other hand. Its not a big problem. C In the city. After Han Qianye returned to the Pei Residence, she changed her clothes. When she went out, she brought Pei Jiao along. Pei Jiao rolled up the windows on both sides and switched to the starry sky mode exclusive to Rolls-Royce. They arrived at Herti Beauty Salon. The employee outside the door recognized Mrs. Peis car at a glance and immediately got out to open the car door to welcome her. As Han Qianye alighted, four more Herti employees came out one after another, followed by the manager. Only a top VIP guest like Han Qianye had such pomp and treatment. Han Qianye asked as she walked, Is Rongrong here? The manager replied, Mrs. Zhou just arrived two minutes ago. Han Qianye and Lin Yourong were on good terms and often arranged to come to Herti together. The two of them were top VIP customers of Herti, so as long as Han Qianye mentioned Rongrong, the manager immediately knew that she was referring to Mrs. Zhou, Lin Yourong. Lin Yourong, who was dressed in jewelry, waved at Han Qianye. Qianye, come quickly. Ill introduce someone to you. Han Qianye walked over. I thought you would come later than me. Lin Yourong said, I was planning to do my face today, but you happened to ask me out and we happened to meet. As soon as she finished speaking, Han Qianye noticed the young girl beside Lin Yourong. Lin Yourong immediately shouted, Huanhuan. When Lin Huan heard her aunt call her, she immediately stood up. Lin Yourong held Han Qianyes hand and introduced her happily, Qianye, this is my niece, Lin Huan. Han Qianyes expression became intriguing. Is she the gilded niece you mentioned on the phone? Yes. Lin Yourong smiled so widely that her teeth were visible. She gestured to Lin Huan. Huanhuan, greet them. Lin Huan looked at Han Qianye shyly. Hello, Mrs. Pei. Im Lin Huan. Han Qianyes face was passable. Hello. After answering, the smile on Han Qianyes lips faded. Why did Lin Yourong call her niece over? The three sat down. Pei Jiao, who had walked in leisurely, casually found a seat and sat down to play with her phone. She did not participate in the bragging of the noble wife at all. Anyway, her mother had said that she would give her pocket money if she accompanied her here. Lin Yourong pulled Lin Huan and praised her in front of Han Qianye, especially Lin Huans attainments in the designer industry. Lin Huan blushed in embarrassment. She replied very humbly, No, no. There are many powerful seniors in the designer industry. My current qualifications are really nothing. Han Qianye looked at Lin Huan. Miss Lin, youre too humble. Lin Yourong interrupted, Why are you calling her Miss Lin? Its so unfamiliar. Just call her Huanhuan. Han Qianye sized up Lin Huans outfit. Huanhuan is indeed a designer. Your outfit is comparable to a celebrity. Lin Huan was very good at talking. Auntie Han, your hat today is also very beautiful. The color and skin color match very well, making you look especially noble. Han Qianye smiled and remained silent. She was quite eloquent. Lin Yourongs face was about to bloom with laughter. Qianye, look at our Huanhuan. Shes gentle, cute, and especially understanding. Her educational background is also a top university in Country H. Look at her hands Lin Yourong picked up Lin Huans hand and caressed it. Other than being able to draw designs and make clothes, she can also cook well. Theres nothing she doesnt know. Han Qianye remained silent. Lin Yourong was unsure of Han Qianyes attitude. Qianye, what do you think of our Huanhuan? After a few seconds of silence Han Qianye said, NG. Lin Yourong was stunned. What NG? Lin Huan did not understand. Pei Jiao did not understand either. Although Pei Jiao did not understand, it did not stop her from going to Baidu to check. When she found out, she said, Oh, NG. It means not good. After looking at her phone, Pei Jiao looked up at Lin Huan. Miss, my mother said that youre not good-looking. Lin Huan: Lin Yourong: Han Qianye: Chapter 91 - 91 Heart 91 Heart-to-Heart Talk with Fourth Brother As soon as Pei Jiao said this, the atmosphere was silent for more than a minute. Lin Huan clenched her fists nervously, looking at a loss. Before she went out today, she had specially dressed up. From her makeup to her outfit, she was exquisite. Even her hair had been carefully styled, afraid that she would dissatisfy Mrs. Pei. As for looks, Lin Huan had always been very confident. Because the Lin familys genes were very good, her aunt, Lin Yourong, also married into the wealthy Zhou family with that face. Although the Zhou family was not worth mentioning in front of the Pei family, they had also entered the circle of aristocratic families and were very prominent. Her aunt had long told her that she would definitely be able to marry into a wealthy family in the future. She was also very obedient to her aunt. During the period when she was training overseas, she worked hard and won some awards in the design world, enriching her resume and experience, learning the piano, the violin, and many foreign languages to improve her external conditions. She had made so much preparation, and now the opportunity was right in front of her, but Mrs. Pei did not seem very satisfied with her. At this moment, the Herti employee brought over an exquisite dessert. Lin Yourong immediately took advantage of this moment to make arrangements. Qianye, hasnt it been a while since you shopped for clothes and changed new hairstyles? How about this? Ill let Huanhuan accompany you shopping this afternoon and choose clothes to match. Huanhuan is especially good at doing hairstyles, too. Huanhuan can also refer to you. Han Qianye raised her hand to touch her bun. My hairstyle is new. Im very satisfied now. Theres no need to change it. Lin Yourong refused to give up. Then the clothes Han Qianye said, Ive already ordered a few sets of Chanels autumn and winter high-end clothes. Theyll probably be here in two days. Lin Yourong still refused to give up. And shoes Han Qianye cleared her throat. Balenciaga had contacted me when they released their new product. Lin Yourong went for the next best thing. Then lets not go shopping. Just focus on your face today and let Huanhuan accompany you to chat. At the same time, change the style of your nails. I heard that their manicurists have developed new patterns. Han Qianye raised the back of her hand and looked at it. The color of my nails is quite good. Itll look ugly if I change them again. Lin Yourong: Lin Huan, who could not speak, was speechless. Han Qianye felt that it was not good to drag this out. She cleared her throat and said, Actually, I learned some new words from young people surfing the Internet. I used them casually just now. I might have used the wrong words. Miss Lin, please dont take it to heart. Hearing Han Qianyes explanation, Lin Huan was flattered. She waved her hand quickly. No, no. Han Qianye smiled. Thats good. With that, Han Qianye suddenly excused herself and stood up. My Old Pei asked me to go to the company to get something. I almost forgot about this. I cant do my face today. Rongrong, lets meet another day. Without waiting for Lin Yourong to say anything, Han Qianye grabbed her bag and quickly left. Pei Jiao stood up. Mom, dont leave me behind. C In the car. Han Qianye was a little angry. Pei Jiao did not dare to provoke her. She only dared to ask in a weak voice, Mom, Ive accompanied you out for a while. This pocket money? Han Qianye glanced at her. You still want pocket money? Damn girl, youre a professional pithole digger! Just let them go to Baidu themselves. Do you have to say it? Dont I care about my reputation? Pei Jiao explained, Mom, although Miss Lin doesnt look like the original, Ive observed her for you. She can speak well and is gentle and cute. Dont you like daughters-in-law in this style? Han Qianye: Yes! But that was in the past! Han Qianye took a deep breath. Remember, I like the quiet ones who ignore me. Pei Jiao did not understand. Mom, I remember that you didnt fall into the water when you went out. Han Qianye: ? Pei Jiao scratched her chin in thought. You didnt fall into the water. So why is your brain filled with water? Han Qianye: She really wanted to send this wretched girl back to the furnace with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Never mind. She wasnt angry. It wasnt easy to maintain her skin. It was difficult to remove her wrinkles. Pei Jiao returned to the point. Mom, that money, hehe? Han Qianye said, Other than money and Makka Pakka, what else do you know? Pei Jiao waved her hand. Mom, youre underestimating me. I dont just know Makka Pakka. I also know Upsy Daisy. Oh, right, theres also Tombliboos. Han Qianye: Han Qianye did not give this money. She only said, Go find your father. Pei Jiao told the truth. If my father had a little money, he wouldnt have bought fishing rods that only cost dozens of yuan each. Han Qianye grabbed an important piece of information. Did your father go fishing again? Pei Jiao looked at her cheeks with her tongue and smiled. No, I was just describing it briefly. No matter how much she argued, Pei Jiao did not get the pocket money her mother gave her in the end. Pei Jiao sighed at the sky. Then, she took out her phone and made a call. Take two orders for me. I really dont have any pocket money recently. I cant even afford skin. On the other end of the line, Beike sneered. The recent order is a little big, but the price is really high. Are you sure you want to take it? Pei Jiao said, I cant even afford the skin. Why would I care about the size of the order? Send it to me. Ill accept it. Beike: Alright, Ill send it to you. Ding! Pei Jiaos phone beeped. After hanging up, Pei Jiao opened the message from Beike and gritted her teeth. Money is hard to earn, and shit tastes bad. C At seven in the evening, the live broadcast of the four groups of couples ended at the same time. Millions of netizens left the live-stream reluctantly. Although there were no more comments, the heated discussion on Weibo about #Xie Wens Mother-in-Law#, #Li Xiwus connection to Mother Dragon#, #Madam Di Xins arrival in the capital# was still fermenting. In short, ever since the live broadcast of the second seasons Mother-in-Law Joy, all kinds of popularity and topics had not decreased. It had only been broadcast for a few days, but it had completely surpassed the popularity of the first season. Li Xiwu was about to return to the inn when she said goodbye to Pei Youan alone. You have the key to the small courtyard. Stay there if you want, but dont take photos and post them online. Pei Youan was very obedient. Got it, Sister-in-law. He definitely wouldnt take photos. He also knew that he had almost revealed his sister-in-laws secret. Still Pei Youan asked ingratiatingly, Can I pack some of the snacks in the cabinet and take them away? Li Xiwu smiled. Take whatever you want to eat. The seventeen-year-old smiled like a seven-year-old. After He Wang drove Pei Youan away, Li Xiwu also got into Pei Jingzhous car. There was a driver driving. They both sat in the back. The black Bentley drove steadily down the wide avenue. Li Xiwu looked at her phone first and absorbed todays trending information. After browsing through it, she put down her phone and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou, who was sitting beside her. Fourth Brother, do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk? Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at her. Their eyes met. Although his expression was cool, his gaze on her was gentle. What do you want to talk about? Li Xiwu enunciated each word clearly. The fact that you booked the entire Waldorf restaurant but I wasnt there. Chapter 92 - 92 If A Man Said That He Don’t Want To Hear It, Its Equivalent To A Woman Saying No 92 If A Man Said That He Dont Want To Hear It, Its Equivalent To A Woman Saying No Speaking of the Waldorf, Li Xiwu realized that Pei Jingzhous expression was a little gloomier than before. She didnt forget to mention, He Wang told me. Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips and did not intend to speak. Li Xiwu sat closer to Pei Jingzhou. He glanced at her. Got a conscience? Li Xiwu was about to say something. Pei Jingzhou turned his face away. I dont want to hear it. Li Xiwu: The muteness came in an instant. She wondered what to say. After thinking about it, she decided to end the conversation, which had never started in the first place. Okay, lets not talk about that. Pei Jingzhou turned his face to look at her. If a man said that he doesnt want to hear it, its equivalent to a woman saying no. Li Xiwu: ? Initially, she did not think these two sentences were the same concept, but after Pei Jingzhou said this, countless images similar to these words appeared in her mind. She said no. But not only did a certain someone ignore her, but he also became more and more ruthless Pei Jingzhou smiled. You understand? Li Xiwu straightened up and sighed. I was eating with Qiao Qiao and I put my phone on silent. When I went back, I really didnt look at my phone and went to bed. I only saw your call the next day when I arrived at the inn. Is that an explanation? Pei Jingzhou said, Youve explained this before. It was the same words. However, Li Xiwu had used a perfunctory attitude to explain. Now, it was a sincere explanation. Li Xiwu suddenly asked, Was it some special day the day before yesterday? Pei Jingzhou said, Nothing special. It was to celebrate your appearance on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show. Li Xiwu was stunned. Celebrate? Didnt Fourth Brother object to me going on this variety show at first? Pei Jingzhou wanted to laugh. Youre my wife, not my daughter. What can my objection change? Li Xiwu said, Nothing. Pei Jingzhou snorted and ignored her. Li Xiwu understood. Okay, so thats what this was about. Although their relationship was about to reach its end, Pei Jingzhou had been extremely benevolent to her for the past three years. He wanted to celebrate her participation in the variety show by booking dinner at the Waldorf Restaurant. In the end, she turned off her phone and ignored it. Thinking about it, it really shouldnt have happened. She looked at Pei Jingzhou. Is Fourth Brother still angry? Pei Jingzhou said, Yes. Li Xiwu was about to apologize when Pei Jingzhou suddenly said, If you take the initiative to kiss me, Ill consider digesting this anger myself. In the past, Li Xiwu would have ignored him. This time, though, she was compliant and asked, Kiss which side? Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and tapped his lips. Here. The kiss ended. Li Xiwu realized belatedly that she was already sitting in Pei Jingzhous arms. Shed initiated the kiss. There was still a driver driving in front. She had only planned to give him a light kiss as a sign. In any case, they had been husband and wife for three years. There was nothing to be pretentious about lying on the same bed day and night. However, Pei Jingzhou pressed her down. At some point, even the barrier had consciously risen. Li Xiwu felt that the man hugging her was craving her, but he still held it in. Li Xiwu looked at the man who was on the verge of losing control. Are you suffering from your own actions? Pei Jingzhou calmed his breathing. Im enjoying it. Li Xiwu moved slightly, ready to get out of his arms and sit back down. Pei Jingzhou pressed her waist and said in a low voice, Dont move. If you move again, Ill die. Li Xiwu said honestly, Its uncomfortable sitting in your arms. Pei Jingzhou said, You have to endure it. How domineering. When Pei Jingzhou had mostly calmed down, Li Xiwu got off him and sat back down. She took out a small mirror and lip gloss from her bag to touch up her makeup. Looking at the mirror, she realized that the original lip gloss on her lips had been eaten by Pei Jingzhou just now. Some colors were wiped on her chin. It was unbearable to look at. She quickly touched up her makeup. She turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou raise his hand to wipe the lipstick mark on his lips. This action was especially seductive. Li Xiwu couldnt help but ask, Is Fourth Brother still interested in chatting? Pei Jingzhou acutely sensed what Li Xiwu wanted to ask. He hesitated for two seconds and slowly said, You want to ask about Madam Di Xin? Yes, she said frankly. She actually wanted to ask about Madam Di Xins appearance at Lake Roman today. She even said that she had specially gone to see her. It was too difficult to understand. She wondered how much she could find out from Pei Jingzhou. However, she realized that after she raised this topic, Pei Jingzhou clearly had no intention of talking about Madam Di Xin. Can we talk? Li Xiwu asked. Pei Jingzhou sighed. Ask away. He had said that as long as she asked, he would tell her. If she wasnt curious and didnt want to probe too much, there was no need for him to say it. Li Xiwu leaned back. Madam Di Xin is from Country T and has the noble status of the former Prime Ministers wife. Shes also familiar with Fourth Brother and chats happily with you. Pei Jingzhou did not reply. He gestured for her to continue. Li Xiwu didnt pause long. It had nothing to do with me, but Madam Di Xin said I looked like the daughter of an old friend of hers. Pei Jingzhou did not answer immediately. Li Xiwu was not in a hurry to know the answer. She just looked at Pei Jingzhous expression quietly, trying to see something on his face. A moment later, Pei Jingzhou looked up at her. Tell me, what do you think now? Li Xiwu laughed playfully. I think maybe my face is too popular. Pei Jingzhou said, Perhaps youre really like the daughter of the old friend Madam Di Xin mentioned. Li Xiwu was a little surprised. Is there such a coincidence? Pei Jingzhous gaze did not shift. Its not a coincidence if youre willing to believe it. Li Xiwus body was a little tense, not as relaxed as she appeared. I was just asking. After all, it was really a surprise to meet Madam Di Xin today. Pei Jingzhous jaw tightened. Perhaps you will meet again. Li Xiwu said, Huh? Pei Jingzhou said, Im only saying perhaps. Li Xiwu didnt take it seriously. Seeing her once was a coincidence. There shouldnt be a second coincidence, right? The car was about to reach the inn. Li Xiwu looked at the time. I wonder if were the earliest back. Pei Jingzhou said, No. Li Xiwu was still wondering why Pei Jingzhou was so certain until she saw the figure of a family of three outside the inn. It was Chi Xu carrying his daughter, Shenshen, and Xie Wen tidying her daughters hat. No matter how she looked at it, it was a very warm scene. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and prepared to get out of the car. Pei Jingzhou stopped her. Wait. Li Xiwu turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou handing her his own phone. Li Xiwu didnt take it. Pei Jingzhou said concisely, Regarding everything that happened in the production team of Glory of the World, the investigation team has sorted out the files and sent them over. Take a look. Li Xiwu was surprised. You found out so quickly? Pei Jingzhou hooked his gaze on her. Questioning my efficiency? Li Xiwu smiled and reached out to take it. I wouldnt dare. Just as she caught the phone, Pei Jingzhou grabbed Li Xiwus hand and pulled her back a little. I want to change my mind. Li Xiwu looked up, her almond-shaped eyes blinking. What? Pei Jingzhou swallowed. Why dont we go back to Lake Lu tonight? Chapter 93 - 93 Too Sweet 93 Too Sweet Night fell. The lights in the car were dimmer. Li Xiwu leaned half of her body in Pei Jingzhous arms. His arm was around her lower back, and his palm was restrained. His fingers were rubbing a soft flesh, as if he did not intend to let her get out of the car just like that. He wanted to abduct her back to Lake Lu. Li Xiwus gaze stopped on Pei Jingzhous bobbing Adams apple. Fourth Brother should be a little heaty recently. Pei Jingzhou retracted his chin and smiled faintly. What good suggestions do you have to reduce the heat? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Theres a suggestion. But it depends on Fourth Brothers choice. Pei Jingzhou said, Tell me about it. Li Xiwu moved her upper body. Why dont Fourth Brother let go first? Its hard for me to say if were so close. Pei Jingzhous smile deepened. Do you think Im easy to fool? The downside of playing tai chi with smart people was that the other party was never easily fooled. Although most men were easily blinded by lust, this was rarely seen in Pei Jingzhou. It was not that Pei Jingzhou had strong self-control, but he was used to controlling the overall situation. Fortunately, he was only saying that. He did not really force her to return to Lake Lu. Next, Li Xiwu read the information she had found. Pei Jingzhou said, If you dont think its detailed enough or is different from what you guessed, just send a message to the other party. The other party will investigate in depth as you said. Li Xiwu looked at it seriously as she replied, Okay. The information Pei Jingzhou had sent someone to find was very detailed. Most importantly, it was precise to the timeline of every development. The more she read, the darker Li Xiwus expression became. She was so angry that she almost wanted to throw the phone away. Fortunately, she still had her rationality. This was Pei Jingzhous phone. She couldnt throw it away. Pei Jingzhou could always read her mind with her microexpression. Throw it away if you want. If its broken, buy me a new one. Li Xiwu: It took her a few seconds to calm down. She pressed on the document and forwarded it to her from Pei Jingzhous phone. After forwarding it, she realized that she was actually at the top of Pei Jingzhous WeChat list. She was the only one at the top. Li Xiwu was silent for a few seconds. Pei Jingzhou extended his hand. Li Xiwu came back to her senses and placed the phone screen in Pei Jingzhous palm. Thank you. When it came to being human, she knew when to advance and when to retreat. It had nothing to do with their relationship. Pei Jingzhou frowned. I dont like hearing you say that to me. Li Xiwu changed the topic. Everything that happened in the production team back then seemed to be a coincidence, but its actually not. It can only be said that Chi Xus methods are very brilliant. Hes a schemer who looks innocent. Pei Jingzhou was not very interested in the topic she had diverted. He asked casually, What are you planning to do next? Li Xiwu inhaled. Exposure, but itll take a moment. Chi Xu was too dark and his thoughts were terrifyingly complicated. If she fought him head-on, who knew he would be anxious and do something to hurt Xie Wen? Before he was exposed, she had to ensure the physical and psychological safety of Xie Wen and her daughter. Pei Jingzhou sneered. The son is as bad as the mother. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Pei Jingzhous words were too appropriate. And those words reminded her of something. However, the car had been parked here for a long time. Coupled with the fact that they had talked too much just now, it was better to talk about it later. C The first couple to return today were Xie Wen and Chi Xu. When they were on a date outside, Xie Wen had been distracted. She kept thinking about her daughter, who was being taken care of by Zheng Yuehua at the inn, so they rushed back to the inn before five. Originally, the second pair to return was Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou. However, because the two of them had been sitting in the car for a long time, Xu Muzhen and Liang Sheng returned to the inn first. After that, Tao Jing and Wu Jiacheng returned to the inn at almost nine. Although the live broadcast had ended, from the moment they entered the inn, the recorded cameras continued to film. Xu Muzhen was so tired that her legs were weak. She pounded her thighs as she went up the stairs. Ive challenged the longest time Ive ridden a shared bicycle in history today. I almost vomited. Liang Sheng thoughtfully supported Xu Muzhen. I told you not to ride so fast. Im afraid you dont want to touch a bicycle for a month. Xu Muzhen waved her hand. Not to mention a shared bike, just talking about a bike makes me want to vomit. Tao Jing, who came in later, was holding a bobball with colorful lights. Wu Jiacheng, who was behind her, was carrying bags. The two of them went to Universal Studios and went shopping in Sanlitun to buy many luxury goods. Those luxury goods stunned the netizens. Li Xiwu poured a glass of water in the kitchen and had just taken a sip when Tao Jing walked towards her and handed her a small box. Xiwu, I bought it for you. Li Xiwu was stunned. You bought it for me? Tao Jing said, Xie Wen and Muzhen have one each. Li Xiwu put down the glass of water and reached out to take the small box. Thank you. Tao Jings eyes lit up. Youre welcome. By the way, did you have a good time today? Li Xiwu nodded, then said, I can tell you must have had a good time today. From the moment Tao Jing returned and stepped into the inn, Li Xiwu had noticed that Tao Jings face had been brimming with happiness and a bright smile. It was obvious that she had come back having a good time. Tao Jing bit her lip and smiled. Its alright. Its just that I havent had this feeling of a first love date in a long time. Ive returned to the time when I first met Jiacheng. I feel like the air is bubbling with sweetness. At this moment, Tao Jing was sincerely sharing. Li Xiwus lips curled up unconsciously. It was already past nine. Pei Jingzhou came down to look for Li Xiwu. Seeing that she and Tao Jing were chatting, he walked over. Honey. He called her honey very naturally. Li Xiwu looked back. Tao Jing quickly retracted her gaze and moved to the side. It was not that Pei Jingzhou looked fierce, but that Pei Jingzhous face was too charming. Tao Jing was a little embarrassed to stare at him. Although her husband was not bad-looking, he was really far inferior to Li Xiwus husband. It was undeniable that they were good-looking, but the Wu family was still stronger in terms of family background. Tao Jing said, Then Ill go up first. Li Xiwu smiled. Good night. Tao Jing nodded and turned to go upstairs. Pei Jingzhou walked over and his gaze landed on the box in Li Xiwus hand. Then, he looked away. Arent you tired? Li Xiwu smiled. Not really. She was not sleepy. In addition, she had a good chat with Tao Jing just now. She could be said to be full of energy. She opened the box Tao Jing had given her. Inside were macarons. She picked one up, intending to try it, but before she could put it into her mouth, she felt a hot gaze on her Li Xiwu looked up. Does Fourth Brother want to eat? Pei Jingzhou said, Its too sweet. Before Li Xiwu could finish her sentence, she suddenly added, Can it be as sweet as me? Chapter 94 - 94 Out of Control, Madness 94 Out of Control, Madness Li Xiwu rarely spoke without thinking. Her professionalism controlled her words and actions outside, but she could not control her words and actions in front of Pei Jingzhou. Only when she said it did she regret it. However, she had already said it. It seemed that she could not take it back. Pei Jingzhou smiled meaningfully. I didnt hear you clearly. Why dont you say it again? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and turned to leave. Pei Jingzhou smiled and pulled her back. I heard you clearly. Li Xiwu: She did not intend to continue the conversation. If she was in the live-stream, the netizens might have finished with a few lines of Ahhh. However, she did not know what subtitles would be added after the cameraman recorded and edited it. Pei Jingzhou took the macaron from her hand. Li Xiwu reminded her, Its too sweet for your taste. Pei Jingzhou took a bite and commented meaningfully, Yes, its indeed not as sweet as my wife. Li Xiwu: Cameraman, please turn the camera. Thank you! At this moment, the other guests had already returned upstairs to rest. Currently, only Xie Wen and Chi Xu were still outside the inn. Li Xiwu remembered that Xie Wen and Chi Xu were already outside the inn at around eight-thirty when she and Pei Jingzhou returned. She was still a little worried after thinking about it. She raised her feet and prepared to go outside. Pei Jingzhou suddenly said, There wont be any scenes of me tomorrow. Arent you going to accompany me more? Li Xiwu paused. I There were indeed no scenes of Pei Jingzhou tomorrow. Originally, the three of them were supposed to go out to play today, but because of Zheng Yuehuas incident, the director had temporarily arranged a date between the two of them. Now that the date was over, their husbands would leave after breakfast tomorrow morning. Did Pei Jingzhou need her company? While Li Xiwu was hesitating, Pei Jingzhou said, Come back early. Ill warm the bed for you. Li Xiwu had an idea. Okay. Pei Jingzhou went upstairs first. Most of the staff had already gone to rest. Only two cameramen stood beside the camera. Li Xiwu stepped out of the inn threshold. Forty to fifty meters away from the searchlight, Xie Wen and Chi Xu were still there. She walked down the stairs and walked over. Xie Wen, Li Xiwu shouted as she walked over. Xie Wen turned around and saw Li Xiwu walking over. Miss Li, why are you out? Li Xiwu glanced at Chi Xu and looked at Xie Wen. Its quite cold outside. Why did you stay outside for so long? Xie Wen smiled and replied, Im fine. Its not that cold. Li Xiwu did not speak. She held Xie Wens hand in silence. After a moment, she said, Youre so cold and you still say youre not cold? Is your body more resistant to the cold than before? Xie Wen smiled bitterly. I actually dont feel anything myself. Li Xiwu let go of Xie Wens hand. Thats because youre numb from the cold. With that, Li Xiwu looked at Chi Xu. Its only about ten degrees at night in late autumn. What are you thinking? That didnt sound polite. Chi Xu pursed his lips. What does what I think have to do with Miss Li? Miss Li! As Chi Xu finished speaking, Xie Wen immediately shouted. Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Xie Wen. Xie Wen explained, My mother-in-law is not in a good mood. I wanted to bring Shenshen outside for a while. Chi Xu has been accompanying me. Li Xiwu sucked in her breath. She caused her own bad mood. What has it got to do with you? Xie Wen wanted to say something and send Li Xiwu a distress signal, but in the end, she pursed her lips and remained silent. Li Xiwu looked up at Chi Xu. Xie Wen is very afraid of the cold. Didnt you know? Chi Xu was expressionless. I know. Li Xiwu chuckled. I hope you really know. It was so cold outside, so what other reason could Xie Wen have waited until now? Before Li Xiwu came out, it was not that Xie Wen had not thought of snatching her daughter back from Chi Xus arms. It was too cold. She could freeze, but Shenshen was still young. What if she caught a cold?! But when she was about to do so, Chi Xu looked at her sadly. Why did you do that? Xie Wen shook her head with an ugly expression. Moms matter was an accident. I didnt do anything. Chi Xu asked her, Do you have plans? Do you want to divorce me? Wenwen, do you want to leave me? Xie Wen shook her head silently. Chi Xu asked again, You said that you would never leave me. Are you going to go back on your word? Xie Wen still shook her head silently. Chi Xus expression became even sadder than before. Dont try to leave me. You know that without you and my daughter, theres no point in me living. At that moment, the air froze. The pressure was like a thousand-pound switch pressing down on Xie Wen, making her almost unable to breathe. She was so cold that her entire body was numb. For a frustrated moment, she thought that she might as well freeze to death here. Everything would be over once shes dead. However, when they saw their daughter sleeping soundly, she stopped thinking about death. She gritted her teeth, endured, and waited. The stalemate lasted for more than an hour. Just as she was about to collapse, Li Xiwu came over. But she was too cowardly to ask for help. Li Xiwu saw that Xie Wens face was filled with helplessness. She pulled Xie Wen behind her and reached out. Chi Xu, give me Shenshen. Chi Xu was unmoved. Li Xiwus tone was calm. Its too cold. Do you want to see Shenshen, whos only a few months old, hospitalized with a cold? As far as I know, if a child as young as Shenshen has a cold infusion, the IV needle has to be inserted through the vein in her scalp. When Xie Wen heard this, her heart tightened. In the months since she gave birth, Shenshen had been in good health and had never been hospitalized with a cold. Her heart would ache to death if she saw the slender needle poke through the scalp vein with her own eyes. At this moment, Xie Wen looked at Chi Xu nervously. Probably because Li Xiwus words had some effect, Chi Xu finally gave Shenshen to Li Xiwu. The little fellow was wearing thick clothes and did not seem to be cold. She was sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up even if someone else carried her. The moment she saw Shenshen in Li Xiwus arms, Xie Wen heaved a sigh of relief. Li Xiwu turned around and handed Shenshen to Xie Wen. Its too cold. Go in. Xie Wens eyes turned red with gratitude and she was about to thank her. Li Xiwu interrupted. Go in first. Xie Wen nodded, her voice muffled. Okay. Li Xiwu was about to follow her in when Chi Xu suddenly stopped her. Miss Li, can we talk for a while? Li Xiwu stopped in her tracks, and so did Xie Wen. Li Xiwu gestured to Xie Wen. Go in first. Ill talk to Chi Xu and come in soon. Xie Wen nodded and carried her daughter in first. It was only when Xie Wen entered the inn that Li Xiwu turned to look at Chi Xu. Tell me, what do you want to talk about? At this moment, Xie Wen was not around. Chi Xu questioned her sternly, What do you want to do? Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. What do you mean? Chi Xu approached step by step, his eyes dark and aghast. What exactly do you want? Chi Xu looked very scary. Li Xiwu calmed herself down. Chi Xu, you should understand Before she could finish, the next second Chi Xu grabbed Li Xiwus neck desperately, his eyes almost popping out. Just take it that Im begging you, dont interfere, okay? Chapter 95 - 95 Dont Do This, Im Begging You 95 Dont Do This, Im Begging You Li Xiwu probably did not expect Chi Xu to suddenly go crazy. She was caught off guard, without warning. Chi Xus palm was wide, and in almost a few seconds, her face turned red. Out of human instinct, she struggled to pry Chi Xus hand away, but there was a huge difference in strength between men and women. She had never learned close-combat self-defense either. The despair of being on the verge of suffocation flashed through her mind. For a moment, she felt like she was really going to die. Chi Xu looked like he had really lost control. He strangled Li Xiwus neck hard I hate it when people interfere in my family matters. You live your life. Dont stretch your hands too long. And dont try to interfere with my normal life with Wenwen. Otherwise, Before he could finish, Chi Xu suddenly let go, causing Li Xiwu to fall heavily to the ground. She greedily sucked in fresh air. Due to the short period of lack of oxygen, she was so exhausted that she almost had no strength to support her body. If Chi Xu had completely lost his mind just now, Li Xiwu thought, her life might have really ended quietly. Chi Xu also realized that he had done something wrong. He squatted down to help Li Xiwu up and said apologetically, Im sorry, Im sorry, Im sorry Li Xiwus throat hurt so much that she couldnt speak. Her bodys strength was slowly recovering. Chi Xu looked regretful. Im sorry, Miss Li. I didnt control my emotions and almost hurt you. Im sorry Li Xiwu swallowed hard. Her throat still hurts. It was the kind of pain that seemed to have been burned. She struggled to speak, unable to form words. A-a normal life? Are you sure its a normal life now? Chi Xu was stunned. The little strength that Li Xiwu had recovered was all in her arms. She had to support herself to not lean back. Just just because you didnt control your emotions, you almost strangled me to death Chi Xu, have you gone to a psychiatrist? Chi Xu was stunned again. Then, he slowly stood up. The guilt vanished from his face, replaced by indifference. Youre the one who needs to see a doctor. Li Xiwu barely propped herself up on the ground and slowly stood up. Have you done the same to Xie Wen? Chi Xus gaze was firm. Never. With that, Chi Xu suddenly chuckled. That smile was terrifying. You tried to destroy my relationship with Wenwen, and I had no intention of hurting you. Its understandable, actually. If you want to call the police, go ahead. I dont care. She looked at Chi Xu whos smiling. Li Xiwu understood something and then smiled. The reason why you dont care is that Xie Wen will beg me for you, and you happen to know that my heart will soften for Xie Wen. In the end, nothing will happen to you. As for your apology, its just a disguise to cover up the atrocity you committed against me out of helplessness. The smile on Chi Xus lips faded. Miss Li, sometimes its not a good thing to be too smart. Li Xiwu raised her lips. Im not considered smart. Sometimes, Im very slow. For example, Ive actually been slow for so long when it comes to Xie Wen being with you. Who wasnt afraid of death? They were all mortals! Li Xiwu was also afraid that Chi Xu would really kill her. However, when she recovered, she realized that Chi Xu had only wanted to teach her a deep lesson to remind her not to try to change anything. What Chi Xu did not know was that this rash warning to Li Xiwu would quickly bring him disaster. It was late at night. Chi Xu returned to the inn alone. He greeted the cameramen with a warm smile and went upstairs to his and Xie Wens room. Xie Wen sat by the bed and quietly looked at her daughters sleeping face. Her heart was filled with sorrow and there was nothing to say. She was waiting for Chi Xu to return when there was a sound from the door handle. She got up and saw Chi Xu pushing the door open. Xie Wen looked at him. Youre back. Chi Xu walked over and hugged Xie Wen. Tonight Im sorry. Xie Wen let Chi Xu hug her as her nose soured. You really cant do this again in the future. If Miss Li hadnt come, would you have carried Shenshen and waited with me until dawn? At the mention of Li Xiwu, Chi Xu let go of Xie Wen and grabbed her shoulders instead. Do you trust her so much? Xie Wen was puzzled. Miss Li is my ex-manager. Dont you know Ah Before she could finish, Xie Wen suddenly cried out in pain. She frowned and shouted, Chi Xu, youre hurting me. Chi Xu let go belatedly, looking very helpless. Im sorry, Wenwen. I deserve to die, I deserve to die Smack! Chi Xu suddenly slapped himself. Xie Wen was shocked and hurriedly stopped Chi Xus hand. Chi Xu, can you not be like this? Dont be like this, Im begging you Why dont you hit me? Wenwen, hit me. Hit me hard. Chi Xu took Xie Wens hand and slapped his face hard. Tears welled up in Xie Wens eyes as she called out to him calmly, Chi Xu. Chi Xu stopped. Xie Wen freed her hand and held Chi Xus face. I wont leave you. Can you not be like this? Im afraid Im really afraid Chi Xu pulled Xie Wen into his arms. Im sorry, there wont be a next time. I swear. Xie Wen was expressionless as she was hugged by Chi Xu. She listened to him say those words expressionlessly. She wondered when such a day would end. The cry pulled her back to her senses. Shenshen is awake, she said. Chi Xu let go of her and went to the bed. Ill do it. At this moment, Chi Xu returned to normal almost in a second. He gently picked up his daughter and patiently coaxed her to sleep. Xie Wen only watched quietly from the side. After watching for a long time, she called out, Chi Xu. Chi Xu carried his daughter over. The haze on his face dissipated, and in its place was a gentle smile. Compared to his gloomy expression just now, they were like two different people. Xie Wen pursed her lips. No matter what, Miss Li is still my Bole. I hope you respect her a little. Chi Xu did not refute. Okay. Xie Wen was physically and mentally exhausted. She wanted to rest. When she turned around, she heard Chi Xu suddenly ask, Whats Li Xiwus husbands identity? Xie Wen lowered her eyes and did not answer immediately. Of course, she knew Pei Jingzhous identity. But she had always been someone who could keep her word. Even when Chi Xu had asked before, she had never revealed Pei Jingzhous true identity. At this moment, Chi Xu suddenly asked again, and Xie Wen said, Ordinary businessman. Im not sure about the details. Chi Xu nodded and did not ask further. C Li Xiwu stood quietly outside the inn for a long time before slowly walking back. Before she went in, she gathered her collar in advance. The cameraman was dozing off. When he saw her enter, he perked up and returned to his work state. He even specially greeted her, Miss Li, rest early. Li Xiwu nodded. You too. After going upstairs, she returned to her room. Pei Jingzhou was pouring water when he heard her return. He turned to look at her. Youre back. When his gaze landed on her, it froze. Chapter 96 - 96 Pei Jingzhous Revenge 96 Pei Jingzhous Revenge Before Li Xiwu came in, she looked at the marks on her neck with a front camera. The marks were obvious. The redness was very eye-catching. She did not want Pei Jingzhou to see the strangulation mark on her neck, so when she came in, she deliberately spread her hair to cover her neck and flipped her collar up a little, trying to cover it. However, Pei Jingzhou seemed to have seen something wrong. His gaze paused on her neck for a moment before he asked, Whats wrong? Li Xiwus tone was calm. Im a little tired. Then, she asked, Why isnt Fourth Brother asleep yet? Pei Jingzhous voice was very calm. I was waiting for you. She didnt reply. She walked towards the bed and squatted down in front of the bedside table. She plugged it in to charge her phone. Pei Jingzhou put down his cup and walked towards her. Li Xiwus heart clenched. After standing up, she tried her best to act as if nothing had happened. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou suddenly placed his hand on her shoulder. Li Xiwu suddenly stiffened. Pei Jingzhou felt her body stiffen. Relax. Ill massage your shoulders. Li Xiwu raised her lips and shrugged his hand away. Ill be fine after washing up and resting early. Theres no need to trouble Fourth Brother. She made it as if to leave. Pei Jingzhou grabbed her wrist. Wait. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Huh? Pei Jingzhou reached for her neck Li Xiwus expression did not change. She naturally intercepted his outstretched hand and said in a slightly tired tone, Fourth Brother, Im tired. Pei Jingzhou looked into her eyes. Have you forgotten that you painted a pancake for me today? After his reminder, Li Xiwu suddenly remembered this. Still Didnt Fourth Brother draw this pancake for himself? It has nothing to do with me. Li Xiwu smiled brightly and scooped up her pajamas from the bed before walking to the bathroom. Pei Jingzhou did not follow. The moment she entered the bathroom and closed the door, Li Xiwu heaved a sigh of relief. She had asked for this. There was indeed no need to let Pei Jingzhou know. Prepare the evidence first. One step at a time. This crazy man had to pay for what he had done, didnt he! After calming down, she stood at the sink and raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her back before pulling her collar down. Her originally slender and fair neck was red and it was a little horrifying. Li Xiwu frowned. The strangulation marks were too obvious. This crazy man had a heavy hand. She took a washcloth and soaked it in cold water. After soaking it, she carefully pressed the cold cloth to her neck. After applying it repeatedly for a few minutes, her neck was still red. Thats all she can do for now. Shell take a shower first. Half an hour later, Li Xiwu came out of the bathroom. Pei Jingzhou was already asleep. He left a light on for her. She went back to bed as quietly as she could. After lifting the blanket and lying down for less than two to three seconds, Pei Jingzhous arm came over and imprisoned her in his arms. Li Xiwu was used to this position, especially since it was extremely safe. She had experienced too much today and was really tired and sleepy. Unknowingly, she fell asleep quickly. As she drifted off to sleep, she felt something against her neck. She was so sleepy that she couldnt open her eyes. Soon she fell back into a deep sleep. C The next day. Li Xiwus alarm went off at seven-thirty. She slept an extra half hour and didnt get up until a few minutes past eight. There was no residual warmth on the other side. She did not know when Pei Jingzhou had left. His clothes were no longer in the room. After a nights sleep, the strangulation marks on her neck had faded. It was almost impossible to tell unless one looked closely. She picked a turtleneck shirt from the suitcase to cover her neck and put on a short woolen top. Underneath her were wide-legged pants and a pair of white shoes. After washing up, she came out. The makeup artist happened to knock on the door. Li Xiwu went to open the door and turned to let the makeup artist in with the makeup kit. After Li Xiwu sat down, she asked, Has my mother-in-law returned to the inn? This makeup artist was in charge of the makeup of Group One and Group Four. Li Xiwu had just woken up, so she did not know if Han Qianye had returned to the inn. The makeup artist answered her, Miss Li, your mother-in-law arrived at the inn at seven this morning. After answering, she added, But your mother-in-law came over with makeup today and even had a trendy hairstyle. The makeup artist even described the new hairstyle to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu pictured the hairstyle in her mind. It was indeed very trendy. While doing her makeup, Li Xiwu would reply to her work information on WeChat from time to time. At this moment, the makeup artist suddenly lowered her voice and asked her, Miss Li, did you know that Chi Xu was in a car accident this morning? Clack. Li Xiwus typing hand paused. Then the phone fell to the floor with a soft thud, caught off guard. She pushed the makeup artists hand away and bent down to pick up the phone. Her fingertips brushed across it unobtrusively. How did the accident happen? she asked steadily. The makeup artist said, When I came over, I heard Director Yu say that there was a car accident on the way out of Fu Town. Im not very sure about the rest. Li Xiwu frowned in silence. Was it karma? Although she believed in karma, retribution came too too quickly! C Todays live broadcast was delayed to ten oclock. The official Weibo had already sent a notice. After putting on her makeup, Li Xiwu went out and downstairs. Todays breakfast consisted of corn and burritos, as well as roasted sweet potatoes and xiaolongbao. But Xiang Lan was alone at the table. Li Xiwu walked over and said good morning to Xiang Lan. Xiang Lan said, The roasted sweet potatoes and corn were delicious today. Li Xiwu smiled and took the corn. Wheres Muzhen? she asked. Xiang Lan used a spoon to eat the roasted sweet potatoes one spoonful at a time. Shes not up yet. I heard that she was exhausted from riding the bike yesterday. Let her sleep more. Li Xiwu nodded. Xiang Lan pointed outside. Your mother-in-law is outside, but she might be a little busy today. Li Xiwu was curious. Busy with what? Xiang Lan smiled and said, Youll know when you go outside. Li Xiwu was quite curious. She put down the corn and went to look for Han Qianye outside the inn. The weather was good today. The sun came out around eight, dispelling the late autumn fog. Not far from the inn, Han Qianye, who had her head permed, was squatting in front of a pram and fiddling with something. There were no cameras around. Li Xiwu walked over and shouted, Auntie. Han Qianye looked up and saw Li Xiwu walking over. A second ago, she was still fiddling with it seriously. When she saw Li Xiwu, she turned into an aggrieved expression. Youre here Li Xiwu asked, Why are you taking care of Shenshen? Wheres Xie Wen? Han Qianye stood up with the diaper that she had no idea what to do with. I heard that Chi Xu got into a car accident this morning. Sister Zheng rushed over first. Xie Wen was worried, so she handed her daughter to me to take care of and rushed to the hospital. Hanrong isnt here yet. Its just me and Xiang Lan. I think its more reliable for Xie Wen to stuff her daughter to Xiang Lan than me. Its giving me a headache. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Chi Xu really got into a car accident? Han Qianye said, I think so. I heard that it was quite a collision. His neck almost broke. Chapter 97 - 97 Possessiveness, Paranoia and Controllership Are Illnesses 97 Possessiveness, Paranoia and Controllership Are Illnesses I heard that it was quite a collision. His neck almost broke. Li Xiwus heart raced. When she heard the news of Chi Xus car accident from the makeup artist, she thought that at most, he would have some superficial injuries or a slight concussion. It shouldnt be a big problem. However, when she learned from Han Qianye that not only had Chi Xu been in a car accident, but his condition was also very serious and he had almost broken his neck, her emotions immediately became complicated. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her neck. Pei Jingzhou must have seen it last night. Han Qianye sighed. I dont know how to take care of children, but Xie Wen trusts me so much and handed her daughter to me. What can I do? I can only bite the bullet and agree to take care of her. Li Xiwu looked up at Han Qianye. What are you doing just now? Han Qianye waved the diaper in her hand. Changing Little Shenshens diaper. This was too difficult for Han Qianye, who had never raised a child herself. If it was seventeen or eighteen years ago, she might have known a little more. After all, she had just given birth to her last child, Pei Youan. But it had been seventeen or eighteen years. She had long forgotten how to take care of a child. She wouldnt even know where to start if she held the diaper! Han Qianye asked Li Xiwu, Look, should I go and ask Xiang Lan for guidance? But wont this make me look like a bad mother-in-law? I dont even know how to take care of children. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Dont think that. Han Qianye was dejected. Actually, I know that Xie Wen trusted me because of you. Otherwise, why wouldnt she give Xiang Lan, who has more experience raising children, a chance? Actually, even if Han Qianye did not say it, Li Xiwu understood this logic. She leaned over and picked Shenshen up. Ill try, but I have to go inside to change the diaper. The air outside is cold. Han Qianye said, Im afraid that Shenshen will stink. The smell inside will affect everyones breakfast. Li Xiwu said, Then go back to my room. This was Li Xiwus first time raising a child. She usually only teased Shenshen. Occasionally, she would hug her. It was Xie Wen who taught her how to hug her. The novice mother and novice grandmother were also forced into a corner, but they barely passed. At least after the two of them struggled, Shenshen did not cry. When she was bored, she babbled and muttered to herself. She was especially easy to take care of. Han Qianye watched from the side as Li Xiwu did this personally. She suddenly asked, How does it feel to take care of a child? Li Xiwu replied, Its okay. Han Qianye asked again, Then when are you and Jingzhou planning to have a child? Li Xiwu stopped tidying Shenshens baby bib. Han Qianye realized that she had spoken too quickly and explained, I mean, its quite hard to take care of a child. You have to consider carefully about having a child yourself. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. I havent considered it. Han Qianye was anxious. What should she do? After recording the show, Xixi was going to divorce Jingzhou. Is there any way to keep her? Not giving the 400 million? No, no, that would be too wicked. Why dont I introduce Xixi to a younger and more handsome young man? But she didnt think anyone was good enough for Xixi. Just as she was thinking about this anxiously, Li Xiwu handed her the milk bottle. Look after her. Ill take a call. Han Qianye said, Then Ill carry Shenshen downstairs. Li Xiwu said, Okay. Seeing Han Qianye pick up Shenshen in an unfamiliar posture and leave, Li Xiwu walked to the window to answer Qiao Qiaos call. On the other end of the line, Qiao Qiao asked her, Have you seen the trending searches? Trending searches? Chi Xus car accident was even trending? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. I didnt look. Why? Qiao Qiaos voice was solemn. Chi Xu was in a car accident this morning. An entertainment reporter reported it. Now Li Xiwu could guess the seriousness of the matter from Qiao Qiaos tone. Go ahead. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and said, An entertainment reporter snuck into the hospital where Chi Xu was hospitalized. After Chi Xu woke up in the hospital, he was interviewed by the entertainment reporter and insisted that your husband drove his car and hit him. He called the police, and the police are already investigating. Im freaking pissed off by the reports. Does he know how much controversy his comments will cause online? Now that this matter is spreading rapidly online, the public opinion isnt going very well. Li Xiwu gripped her phone. Among Qiao Qiaos many words, she caught the main point: Pei Jingzhou drove and hit Chi Xu! The call was silent for dozens of seconds. Qiao Qiao said, Pei Jingzhou will definitely resolve this matter. After all, its slander. Chi Xu will definitely be sued. Li Xiwus voice was calm. Not necessarily. Qiao Qiao was puzzled. Huh? There were another few dozen seconds of silence. Qiao Qiao asked, No way. Did Pei Jingzhou really hit someone with his car? But Pei Jingzhou has no grudge against Chi Xu. Why did he hit him? Li Xiwus throat tightened and she swallowed uncomfortably. Something happened last night. Qiao Qiao could guess that it wasnt anything good. But she would never have thought that it would be such a despicable thing! After Li Xiwu roughly explained what had happened last night, Qiao Qiaos first concern was Li Xiwus body. Bae, are you alright? Li Xiwu steadied her breathing. Dont worry. Im fine. Qiao Qiao was furious. This is a fucking lunatic! Li Xiwu agreed. He is indeed sick. Possessiveness, paranoia, and control were illnesses that could be treated alone. But if they were all added up, along with a psychopathic pick-up artist, he was quite sick. Chi Xu had used all his schemes to keep Xie Wen by his side and even schemed for Xie Wen to be pregnant with his child. Later on, he exercised mental control over Xie Wen day after day. This mental control was called Exploring Traps, and the manipulator was Chi Xu. He used the traps he had set up and the encounters he had compiled to attract Xie Wen. From a psychological point of view, Xie Wen had become the savior, stepping into Chi Xus trap. Once the savior wanted to pull away, the manipulator would be doomed. Self-harm, self-punishment, and death. Every step was carefully planned by Chi Xu. No matter what, Xie Wen could not escape the trap. In the end, he would break Xie Wens wings bit by bit so that she would never be able to leave him. Therefore, Xie Wen could not be blamed for being disappointing. It could only be said that Chi Xus methods were too brilliant. Just think about it. One was an innocent girl, and the other was a man who took every step carefully. Xie Wen was in a trap personally set by Chi Xu. Without anyone to help her, how could she walk out on her own? Qiao Qiao was still too worried about Li Xiwu. Her voice was a little muffled. It must hurt a lot, right? Li Xiwu laughed. A little last night. Not so much today. Im fine. Qiao Qiao felt much more at ease when she said, Im fine. However, when she thought of Chi Xus actions, the anger in her heart quickly surged again. If someone like Chi Xu were to be the male lead in a novel, it would definitely be ahhh, I love him so much. If it were in reality, it would be Police, its him. Hurry up and arrest him and put him in jail. Li Xiwu said, His acting career is indeed coming to an end. Ill introduce him to a new job when the time comes. Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows. Introducing him to a job? Thats kind of you. Li Xiwu smiled. I cant help it. Im naturally kind. Qiao Qiao chased after him. What job? Li Xiwu said, Stepping on a sewing machine. Chapter 98 - 98 Its Worth Losing His Life For Li Xiwu 98 Its Worth Losing His Life For Li Xiwu Qiao Qiao was stunned at first. She thought that it was machines that operated and sewed these days. Why would he still step on the sewing machine? When she reacted, she suddenly let out goose laughter. As expected of you, youre just too kind! Li Xiwu was infected by Qiao Qiaos laughter and felt much better. People have to pay the price for what theyve done. He didnt just control Xie Wen. The few opportunities he had to get close to her were all crimes. Qiao Qiao said, I understand why you want to help Xie Wen so much. It would be strange if Xie Wen could escape on her own with such a lunatic. Li Xiwu sighed. As long as you understand me. After ending her call with Qiao Qiao, Li Xiwu looked out the window in silence. She had spent so much effort on Xie Wen. From the perspective of others, it was probably too nosy. Even she sometimes wondered if she really cared too much. But every time such a thought appeared in her mind, the scene of her first arrival at Hua Guan Media would subconsciously appear in her mind. As a new manager without any qualifications, no female artist was willing to sign a management contract with her. Because the risk was too great. When others signed a capable manager, their acting career would take off. A new manager like her might not be able to help an artist get a decent show for a year or two. At that time, the newcomers who signed into the company fought to sign in with the old manager. Only Xie Wen took the initiative to find her and asked her carefully and politely, Can I sign an artist management contract with you? At that time, Li Xiwu teased half-jokingly, Everyone is fighting to find the most stable backer, but you barged into my place. Are you a tiger? The short conversation made Xie Wen feel that Li Xiwu was an easy person to get along with. So she was no longer so careful with her words. Instead, she said confidently and generously, Im not going to a place with more wolves and less meat. Its another matter if Im lucky. If Im unlucky, not to mention meat, even bone dregs wont be mine. Li Xiwu was stunned for a long time. Pei Jingzhou did not support her entering the entertainment industry to begin with. He wanted her to be Mrs. Pei, who lived a luxurious life. However, such a life was undoubtedly a canary in a cage to Li Xiwu. She wanted to have her own career. Otherwise, when the contract marriage expired, she would be a useless person who knew nothing. She begged repeatedly before Pei Jingzhou gave her a chance. However, if she could not make a name for herself in the management industry, she still had to go back and be Mrs. Pei. She was discouraged to think that she might really not make a name for herself. But at her most discouraged moment, Xie Wen took the initiative to walk towards her. This was undoubtedly the greatest encouragement for her to step into the industry. Later on, she and Xie Wen encouraged each other and faced difficulties head-on. She tried her best to get resources for Xie Wen. Xie Wen did not disappoint her. She kept shining on the stage and quickly welcomed the peak of her career. Xie Wen became the female celebrity who had the shortest career, but the fastest to become a B-list celebrity. And because Li Xiwu had promoted Xie Wen, her status in Hua Guan Media had soared. Everyone in the industry had to politely call her Miss Li. That wasnt just Xie Wens proudest moment in her career. It was also when Li Xiwu was most proud of her career. She had pushed her career to the limit with her own efforts. However, Chi Xus appearance later reduced all of this to zero. Pulling her thoughts back from her memories, Li Xiwus eyes flashed. She lowered her head and unlocked her phone. She found Pei Jingzhous number and dialed it. It rang five times before the other end picked up. Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Its me. Pei Jingzhous gentle voice came from the receiver. Honey. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said nothing. She didnt know how to describe how she felt at this moment. In short, it was complicated. After gathering her emotions, she asked, Where are you? Pei Jingzhou said, At the company. Li Xiwu didnt believe him, but she didnt question him. She casually found a topic to chat about. I dont even know when you left this morning. Pei Jingzhous voice was as gentle as ever. Youre still asleep when I leave at seven. Li Xiwu said, Why didnt you wake me up? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Did my wife miss me? Li Xiwu smiled too. Yes. The line went silent with those words. Li Xiwu barely thought when she answered Yes. It was only when the line fell silent that she realized what she had replied. Did my wife miss me? Yes. She actually responded with a yes before she realized it. Li Xiwu sucked in her breath. I Before she could finish, Pei Jingzhou interrupted her. I miss you too. There was no humor in his voice. But it was heavier than before and sounded more serious. With a thought, Li Xiwu gripped her phone and quickly cut to the chase. Does Fourth Brother know that Chi Xu was in a car accident? Pei Jingzhou only grunted in response. He didnt say that he knew or didnt know. Li Xiwu wanted to continue this topic, but at this moment, Pei Jingzhou suddenly asked her, Have you eaten breakfast? Li Xiwu knew why he had changed the subject. Ive eaten, she replied. Pei Jingzhou reminded her, Drink more water and speak less. Li Xiwu immediately held her breath. Her lips were pursed tightly. After a long while, she asked with difficulty, Is Fourth Brother planning to keep me out of this? Youll do everything. What will I do? Pei Jingzhou pondered for a moment. Dont be willful. Li Xiwu said, Im never willful. Pei Jingzhou smiled. I really dont know what to do with you. Li Xiwu asked gently, Are you hurt? She wouldnt know. She wouldnt know that to Pei Jingzhou, it was worth it even if he lost his life all for those words of concern. Because he didnt care about anything else. He only cared about her. When she did not hear Pei Jingzhous answer, Li Xiwu became anxious. Are you still listening? Fourth Brother? Are you alright? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Your husband is fine. Im fine. Dont worry. When Li Xiwu heard him say that he was fine, although she was still not convinced, her mood was indeed a little better than before. Im serious. Dont fool me. Pei Jingzhous tone was gentle and unhurried. Which sentence sounds like Im fooling you? Every word sounded like he was fooling her. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. In the end, she asked again worriedly, Is Fourth Brother really in the company? Pei Jingzhou still replied, Yes. However, Li Xiwu did not know that on the other end of the phone, the doctor was silently bandaging the wound on Pei Jingzhous arm. The shattered windshield drew a twenty-centimeter wound across his arm. It was very deep. Before it was bandaged, his arm was dripping with blood. Blood kept dripping from his palm, making it look especially terrifying. Chapter 99 - 99 Wife Is the Darling 99 Wife Is the Darling At first, Pei Jingzhou did not even frown. On the other hand, He Wang, who was standing at the side, gritted his teeth and his expression twitched. Especially when the doctor treated the wound just now. It was as if the twenty-centimeter-long wound was not on Pei Jingzhous arm, but his arm. Hiss, it hurt just looking at it. Fourth Brother. Be quiet. He Wang shut his mouth. Pei Jingzhou found him annoying and let He Wang leave. He Wang chattered and did not leave. He even took a photo and sent it to the group chat: [Come and admire Fourth Brothers battle injuries. Ill go first. Its too tragic.] Qin Zhuoning: [Theres nothing I can do.] Wen Ye: [Affecting the citys reputation @ He Wang] He Wang was still laughing a second ago. Hahaha, theres nothing I can do to save the situation. Its affecting the reputation of the city affecting Damn, its connoting me again?! Wen Ye: [Take time to connote.] Pei Jingzhou looked up at He Wang. You can scram now. He Wang smiled wantonly. Dont mind me, Fourth Brother. I thoughtfully posted your injury in the group chat just now. Everyone is very concerned about your injuries. Pei Jingzhou found He Wang noisy. He was already injured, so his expression was really not good. It was only when Li Xiwu suddenly called that Pei Jingzhous expression improved. As he chatted and laughed with his wife as if nothing had happened, he even said that he was reviewing the report in the company. He Wang could not help but want to take off his hat and bow to him. Youre really good! But from the looks of it, Li Xiwu probably believed him. Otherwise, Fourth Brother would not still be smiling after hanging up. What sweet nothings did Sister-in-law say? Seeing that the call had ended, He Wang moved over and teased, Fourth Brother, Sister-in-law must have fed you honey just now, right? Pei Jingzhou smiled. It was obvious that he was in a much better mood. He Wang began to fan the flames and clicked his tongue. Although the wound isnt deep, Fourth Brother will definitely have to abstain for more than half a month. Pei Jingzhou looked up at He Wang. He Wang smiled maliciously. Can you do it with one hand? Pei Jingzhou retracted his gaze. You cant do it. He Wang: ? Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips. I can do it even if I dont have hands. He Wang: The doctor had already bandaged the wound. After nagging about some things to take note of, Pei Jingzhou listened absent-mindedly. He Wang pulled out a chair and sat down. Fourth Brothers mind is filled with his wife now. Write it down. Ill pass it to Sister-in-law to read to him. Fourth Brother will listen to Sister-in-law. The doctor smiled. Thats a good idea. Pei Jingzhou looked at He Wang. Are you very free? He Wang said seriously, When I found out that Fourth Brother was injured, I rushed over to take care of you immediately. Fourth Brother actually said that Im very free? As expected, brothers cant even be considered brothers. Women are the treasures. Pei Jingzhou reminded He Wang, Be more tight-lipped these days. He Wang smiled. Even if I keep my mouth shut, Fourth Brother, are you sure you can hide it from Sister-in-law? Unless you really abstain for more than half a month, Sister-in-law will definitely notice the injury on your arm. Pei Jingzhou: He really touched a sore spot. Pei Jingzhou lowered his rolled-up sleeves to cover the gauze on his arm and cut to the chase. Have you arranged everything at the hospital? Back to the main topic, He Wangs unrestrained expression immediately restrained and became more serious. I let two entertainment reporters in and helped him call the police. In short, I arranged it as you said. Pei Jingzhou narrowed his eyes. Three in the afternoon. He Wang saluted with his hand. Okay. With that, He Wang lowered his hand. Sister-in-law must be very worried, right? Arent you going to tell her? What if Sister-in-law also makes a move, wont you bump into her? Pei Jingzhou smiled. My wife and I have telepathy. He Wang wiped the dog food on his face. Alright, alright, alright. Only you have a wife. Ill find one another day. Pei Jingzhou said, Blessings. He Wang was speechless. This blessing was not sincere at all. He came out of Pei Jingzhous office. He Wang received a call from Wen Ye and smiled sloppily. So soon? Wen Ye said, The young lady is very guarded and uncooperative. He Wang frowned. Wen Ye asked, Why dont you come over personally? He Wang snorted and pressed his tongue against his cheek. Give me twenty minutes. Wen Ye said angrily, Its only a ten-minute drive to the Fourth High School. You want twenty minutes? What, are you going to change your clothes and do your hair before making a grand appearance? He Wang said, None of your business. Wen Ye: He Wang was very punctual. Twenty minutes was really twenty minutes. It was just right. He was on time. A low-key Volvo arrived outside the gates of the Fourth High School. After He Wang arrived, he sent Wen Ye a message. Within half a minute, the school gates were open. He Wang drove in. Wen Ye came out to pick him up. After seeing the car door open and a young man get out, Wen Ye did not recognize that this young man was actually He Wang. From the look in your eyes, I know that your efforts today were not in vain. He Wang strode over. Wen Yes gaze was like a ruler as he measured He Wang up and down. He clicked his tongue. Youre an old man after all. Look at yourself. Are you presentable? He Wang raised his hand. Arent you looking with your eyes open? Wen Ye was speechless. Besides, He Wang smiled meaningfully and walked past Wen Ye. A man is a teenager until he dies. What do you know? Wen Ye held his forehead. C In the psychological counseling room set up by the Fourth High School. Chi Xia sat there quietly. She rested one hand on the table and twirled a pen in the other. She spun the pen very quickly, but she only knew how to spin it simply. Pei Youan knew how to spin the pen in a fancy manner. She had learned it from Pei Youan, but she was not very good at it. It was mainly because her fingers were not that agile. As she spun, she wanted to try again. The pen fell from her fingertips and onto the floor. She was about to bend down and pick it up. A long, beautiful hand reached out in front of her and picked up the pen she had just spun and dropped. She thought the counselor had returned. She looked up and met a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes. What a handsome face!!! After looking at each other briefly for a few seconds, Chi Xia slowly sat up straight. She stared blankly at the handsome stranger in front of her and asked, Who are you? He Wang specially changed into a loose white shirt and light blue jeans. His hairstyle, which he usually liked to comb to the back, was also let down. It hung loosely in front of his forehead, making him look young. It was no wonder that when Wen Ye saw He Wang just now, he said that He Wang was dressed too flashily. It was mainly because He Wang was indeed so young in this outfit. Which little girl wouldnt be flustered if he went to the campus?! He was definitely a lady killer! Chapter 100 - 100 Get information! The First Step of Exposure! 100 Get information! The First Step of Exposure! He Wangs sparkling peach blossom eyes curved, making his entire face look very gentle. My surname is He. Im Doctor Wens colleague who gave you a psychological consultation just now. Are you a psychiatrist too? Yes. He Wang smiled. When Chi Xia heard that the other party was a psychiatrist, her good impression of him quickly disappeared. She snatched the pen back from He Wangs hand and said with a cold expression, My mentality is very stable. I dont have the pressure to study, and my self-awareness isnt limited. My family relationship is harmonious and beautiful. I dont need to do a psychological evaluation. Now Im going back to class. The psychological evaluation arranged by the school could not be completed in a day. After all, every students psychological evaluation time was different. Some psychological situations were tricky, and mental consultants would spend more time. Moreover, the teacher would not tell everyone in advance. Only one student at a time is taken to the school counseling room. When Chi Xia came with the teacher, she did not know that it was a mental evaluation arranged by the school. However, when the teacher was around, she was very obedient and cooperative. Once the teacher left, she was not so cooperative. She firmly expressed that she would not do a mental review. At this moment, Chi Xia stood up and was about to leave. He Wang did not stop her from leaving. He suddenly said, That pen Chi Xia stopped in her tracks and turned to look at He Wang. When He Wang smiled, his beautiful peach blossom eyes gradually became charming. What brand is that pen? It looks like its easy to spin. I want to buy one too. Chi Xia looked at that beautiful face and hesitated. Do you know how to spin a pen? He Wang smiled. Yes. And I know how to spin a pen fancily. Do you want to admire it? Chi Xias face was filled with disbelief. He Wang took the initiative to step forward and take the pen from Chi Xias hand. He said politely, Ill borrow it. Then, in front of Chi Xia, he casually made a gesture. The pen seemed to suddenly have a soul as it spun back and forth between He Wangs fingers. At first, it was just a simple entry-level spinning method, which was the kind of spinning method that Chi Xia knew. But as he spun, it became a fancy spinning pen. Every finger of his was very agile, and the pen danced in reverse on his fingertips. Every time Chi Xia thought that the pen would fall, the pen remained firmly in his hand. Chi Xia was dumbfounded. The last time she was so stunned was by Pei Youan. However, Pei Youan had not come to school recently. The teacher said that he was sick and took leave to go home to rest. He Wang deliberately acted cool in front of Chi Xia. Chi Xia subconsciously wanted to dodge, but He Wang grabbed the tip of his pen, his hand still hanging in midair. He Wang smiled. Are you frightened? Chi Xias heart raced. Yes, a little. The smile on He Wangs lips faded and he looked sincere. Sorry. Chi Xia shook her head. Im fine. After a pause, she pointed at the pen in He Wangs hand. Ill give you this pen. He Wang smiled, his peach blossom eyes becoming even more seductive. Then I wont stand on ceremony. Thank you. If you want to learn how to spin a pen, I can teach you. Wen Ye, who was standing silently outside the door: A sin! Are you really willing to teach me? Chi Xia was skeptical. He Wang said, You gave me a pen. Ill teach you in return. Chi Xias interest was piqued. Then teach me. He Wang smiled. Okay. He Wang taught her seriously, and Chi Xia learned seriously. The two of them gradually established a preliminary trust relationship. When she was almost done learning, Chi Xia was obviously in a good mood. She casually found a topic and asked, Is that Doctor Wen your colleague? Yes. He Wang pulled a chair over gentlemanly. Please sit. Chi Xia sat down. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, she spoke without restraint. But that Doctor Wen looks much older than you. He Wang maintained the smile on his lips and sat down opposite Chi Xia. He replied calmly, He might look older than he is. Outside the door, Wen Ye: Youre the one who looks older! Your whole family looks older! Damn show-off! Chi Xia expressed her understanding and asked, Does every student have to undergo a psychological assessment? He Wang raised his eyebrows. Now, the Ministry of Education is very concerned about the mental health of every student. They conduct mental health screening not only for every student, but also for teachers and parents. These words were very official. Chi Xia did not like to hear this. At this moment, He Wang suddenly said, Actually, I think this is quite troublesome. Chi Xia perked up. Troublesome? He Wang smiled and said deliberately, Actually, people who are really unhealthy will take the initiative to look for a psychiatrist. The schools arrangement is unnecessary. Chi Xia found a resonance at once. Yes, thats what I think. He Wang followed the topic and asked, How do you feel about your mental state? Chi Xia said, My grades are not bad, and my mother is very relaxed about me. The teachers are also very concerned about my results. Theres almost no pressure on my body and mind. He Wang clapped his hands. Thats a good thing. Chi Xia smiled faintly. Right? I also think Im very healthy physically and mentally. I dont need a psychological evaluation. The smile on He Wangs face became gentler. Its good to be free of pressure. Then, do you have any other worries? Chi Xia was not guarded against He Wang at all. No, I have no worries at all. He Wang asked, Do you usually look forward to your home leave? Chi Xia said without thinking, Im looking forward to it. In the past, every time I went back, my mother would prepare a large table of dishes. Now that I have a sister-in-law, she will prepare a large table of dishes for me every time I go back. He Wang raised his eyebrows. Your sister-in-law is very good. Its alright. I think my brother disciplined her well. Once Chi Xia trusted the other party, she spoke without thinking. He Wang raised his eyebrows. Discipline? Chi Xia raised her hand to support her chin. My sister-in-law used to be a high and mighty person. No one could woo her, but my brother wooed her and even disciplined her. I think my brother is very powerful. He Wang: Chi Xia looked yearning. I just hope that I can be as good as my brother. When I become an adult and fall in love, Ill be the one in control. He Wang pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. So, you admire your brother a lot? Chi Xia nodded. Thats right. My brother is very powerful, so I admire him very much. Theres nothing he cant control, so I have to learn from him. He Wangs forehead twitched slightly. It was really like the saying: The son is as bad as the mother. They couldnt chat for long. He Wang casually cut to the chase. Can you share with me how your brother controlled your sister-in-law and made her follow him wholeheartedly? Chapter 101 - 101 Human King of Gu! 101 Human King of Gu! Chi Xias eyes immediately became guarded. Why are you asking this? He Wang realized that he had revealed some of his emotions too obviously, and his peach blossom eyes curved. Its an occupational disease. When I meet someone fated, I like to chat. Hearing the words fated, Chi Xia was in a surprisingly good mood. The two of them had already established a preliminary trust relationship. Not to mention that He Wang was in her aesthetic standards. Although Chi Xia was guarded, she was not much. She was scheming, but scheming did not play a key role. Chi Xia would answer almost anything He Wang asked next. It could be said that the conversation was very pleasant till the end. When she left, Chi Xia was still very reluctant. After all, it was a very joyful thing to find friends with common topics. I dont know your name yet. Whats your name? He Wangs smile was deep, but it did not reach his eyes. He Kuanyi. Ten minutes later. He Wang walked out of the schools psychological office with one hand in his pocket. Wen Ye saw He Wang walking over and saw that he had everything under control. He sneered. When a show-off takes action, one is equivalent to two. He Wang smiled harmlessly. Civilized people, lets talk civilized. Wen Ye looked at him. Wheres your morality? He Wang unbuttoned one collar and smiled wantonly. As a psychiatrist, you have to follow your professional ethics. I dont have to because its not my profession and I have no morals. Wen Ye: Although counseling was not He Wangs profession, He Wang had indeed minored in psychology back then. Wen Ye asked, Has the evaluation report been written? He Wang said, I did. Putting aside the words I got out of her, there are a few important indicators of Chi Xias mental health that have high points. I copied the video. Its going to be useful soon. With that, He Wang opened the car door and got in. A moment later, He Wang lowered the window and shouted with a smile, Old Wen. Wen Ye glanced at him sideways. Dont laugh so cheaply. He Wang smirked. Fourth Brother wants to keep his dignity, but he didnt let Sister-in-law know that he was injured. Why dont you be a good person? Wen Ye said, Why arent you being a good person? He Wang rattled on. Wen Yi only replied with one word. Scram. He Wang cursed and drove away. On the way back, Wen Ye carefully savored He Wangs words. Then, for some reason, he took out his phone, opened WeChat, and sent Li Xiwu a message. After sending it, Wen Ye belatedly said, F*ck! He Wang, this human Gu King! C After ending her call with Pei Jingzhou, Li Xiwu opened Weibo. She wanted to see how far the online public opinion had fermented. Judging from Qiao Qiaos words just now, the controversy about Zheng Yuehuas evil mother-in-law yesterday had probably been cleared up because of this matter. Netizens who could not see the truth would always sympathize with the side that would act pitiful. A trend named #ChiXu Car Accident# appeared at the third place on the trending list. It was very popular. She was about to click on it. The page flickered into an incoming call. It was President Qi. Li Xiwu picked it up. President Qi. Qi Jiangchis voice was a little low. Hua Guans public relations team has already taken action. The popularity will decrease as soon as possible. I suggest that you dont appear on camera today. Ill just inform Director Gao. Hua Guans public relations team was prepared for celebrities. Qi Jiangchi probably did not expect that he would help Li Xiwu resolve her public relations crisis one day. Li Xiwu said, President Qi is also paying attention to this matter? Paying attention? Its early in the morning, and all the major platforms are pushing it. Qi Jiangchi sneered. That kid is really not afraid of death. This time, Ill stand in front of his grave. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. President Qi is becoming more and more humane. Laughing was one thing. Qi Jiangchi did not forget to remind Li Xiwu again, Try not to appear on camera. Li Xiwus heart warmed, but she couldnt agree immediately. Well see. Qi Jiangchi also knew that he could not interfere with Li Xiwus thoughts. This matter had blown up. When he found out this morning, he was also confused. However, after he found out about this, the first thing he did was to get Hua Guan Medias public relations team to intervene and stabilize public opinion. In the end, he received a call from the public relations director not long after. He thought the popularity had been suppressed. In the end, the public relations director said, President Qi, its not very useful for us to take action here, but weve already found out the reason. There will be a huge commotion on Weibo this afternoon. Qi Jiangchi pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. A huge commotion? The PR director became more and more serious. I heard that the elite legal team in the industry is already prepared to be on standby at any time. The police will also move out on time. Qi Jiangchi raised his eyebrows. This was not only a f*cking huge commotion, but also a big deal. It seemed that that person was really angry. Qi Jiangchi asked the public relations director to keep an eye on the direction of public opinion at all times. Then, he called Li Xiwu. C Li Xiwu had just hung up on Qi Jiangchi when several more calls came in. Actually, when they were on the phone just now, there were calls that wanted to be connected a few times. Ji Weiling, Yuanyuan, Xue Jinzhu, colleagues who were usually on good terms Not just phone bombardment, but also WeChat messages. There were too many to read. Li Xiwu planned to deal with it later, so she turned her phone to silent for the time being. However, just as she turned it to silent, a WeChat notification popped up. Wen Ye! Wen Ye, who only liked her Moments and did not send her a message once in 800 years. Could it be because of this matter on the Internet that he sent her a message to comfort her? Li Xiwu hesitated for a moment before opening the WeChat message. A few minutes later, Li Xiwu went downstairs to look for Director Gao. At this moment, Gao Yueban was listening to Yu Jing say something with a cigarette in his mouth. Seeing Li Xiwu suddenly enter, Gao Yueban stubbed out his cigarette and stood up. Miss Li. Li Xiwu walked forward. Director Gao, can I borrow your car? Without another word, Gao Yueban took out the car key from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiwu. Yu Jing stood up and asked, Miss Li, are you leaving Fu Town? Li Xiwu nodded. I know theres still more than forty minutes before the live broadcast, but I have something very important to deal with. Ill be back as soon as possible. Of course, Yu Jing had no intention of stopping her. He was just asking. Seeing Li Xiwu leave in a hurry with the car keys, Gao Yueban reminded her worriedly, Miss Li, be careful on the way. Safety first. Li Xiwu walked very quickly, and her reply okay spread far and wide. Yu Jing turned to ask Gao Yueban, Is Miss Li in such a hurry to leave because of the heated discussion on the Internet this morning? Gao Yueban pulled up his pants and sat down. Obviously. Yu Jing also sat down. Do you think we can turn misfortune into good luck this time? The director, who had just come in, said, Its hard. Gao Yueban and Yu Jing looked at the director. The director held a roasted sweet potato in his hand and said as he ate, The public opinion on the Internet is very disadvantageous to Miss Li now. Chi Xu insists on the car accident situation. If the police have the results of the car accident investigation, she probably wont be able to stay on our show. Just now, Miss Li took Director Gaos car keys. She must have been so frightened that she ran away first. Chapter 102 - 102 Li Xiwu Knew Pei Jingzhou Was Injured 102 Li Xiwu Knew Pei Jingzhou Was Injured Yu Jing and Gao Yueban looked at each other. They smiled tacitly again and finally sat down with a calm expression. The director nibbled on a roasted sweet potato and sat down beside Gao Yueban. Director Gao, arent you worried about your car? Gao Yueban snorted. Once President Pei makes a move, well know if its true or not. Why should I be worried? President Pei? The director suddenly stuck his head over at the mention of President Pei. Gao Yueban pressed the directors head back. Why are you making a fuss? The director: Miss Lis husbands surname is Pei? Gao Yueban said, Mhm. The director was shocked. Miss Lis husbands surname is Pei? Gao Yueban glanced at the director. Whats wrong? Yu Jing couldnt stop laughing. The director swallowed. The executive of R.E but R.E belongs to the Pei Corporation. Is it the Pei Im thinking about? It was Yu Jing who spoke. Otherwise, would it be Bei? The director: He seemed to have discovered some incredible secret? Holy shit! If Miss Lis husbands surname is Pei One second, the director was determined that this matter could not be settled. The next second, he changed his expression. Then its fine. Gao Yueban reminded him, Dont bark so loudly every time. The director looked terrified. Not to mention barking, I wont even dare to scream next time. C Li Xiwu left in a hurry and did not have time to tell Han Qianye. She, who had always driven steadily, was accelerating on many stretches of road today. When the car arrived at the Pei Corporation Building, Li Xiwu got out and handed the car keys to the valet. The valet must have not seen Li Xiwu for too long. He was stunned when he caught the car key. After being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly turned around and confirmed for a while before realizing that the lady boss had arrived! The receptionist raised her standard smile and was about to ask about the appointment when the smile froze on her lips. She focused and looked. Damn the lady boss?? The receptionist immediately smiled and shouted, Mrs. Pei! Li Xiwu raised her hand. The receptionist immediately stopped talking and quickly walked out to lead the way. Mrs. Pei, this way. Li Xiwu said, Ill go to President Peis office. The receptionist replied, Okay, Ill be right Wait a minute. Li Xiwu stopped the receptionist. You dont have to accompany me. Also, pretend you didnt see me. The receptionist sensibly made a show of zipping up her mouth. She pursed her lips and nodded. Li Xiwu walked towards the elevator. The receptionist smiled and watched Li Xiwu enter the elevator before turning back to work. However, as soon as she turned around, she was suddenly stopped by her colleague and asked, Youre nodding and bending your waist. Who was that just now? The receptionist exhaled. Lady boss. The colleague raised her eyebrows in surprise. Damn! The lady boss who hasnt come to the company once in eight hundred years. Why is she here today? The receptionist did not know whether to laugh or cry. How would I know? However, every time the lady boss comes to the company, President Pei will be in a particularly good mood that day. The colleague nodded seriously. Thats true. Ive long heard that Mrs. Pei is President Peis candy. Hell be in a good mood when he eats it. C Li Xiwu took the presidents elevator to the 49th floor. When she stepped out of the elevator, the presidents office was in front of her. As soon as she walked over, Wang Kaiheng, who was sitting behind the secretarys desk, suddenly stood up and shouted, Mrs. Pei! The sound was neither loud nor soft. Presumably the people in the office could hear it too. At this point, Li Xiwu asked calmly, Wheres President Pei? Secretary Wang swallowed silently and walked out from behind his desk. President Pei is in the office, Mrs. Pei No need. Li Xiwu raised her lips. Ill go by myself. Secretary Wang smiled and nodded. Li Xiwu stood at the office door, her hand on the handle. Just as she was about to press down, she turned to look at Secretary Wang behind her. Wang Kaiheng was secretly sending a message. When Li Xiwu turned around, he was so frightened that he immediately put away his phone. Li Xiwu looked away and pressed the door handle. She opened the door and went in. Pei Jingzhou was nowhere to be seen in the clean office. This time, Li Xiwu did not sit and wait for him like before. This time, when she came in, she called out, Pei Jingzhou! There was some slight movement in the lounge. Li Xiwu walked into the lounge. Before she could approach, the door to the lounge opened and Pei Jingzhou came out. He wasnt surprised to see her. No live broadcast today? Yes, but theres no hurry. Li Xiwus gaze was like a ruler as she measured Pei Jingzhou inch by inch. Pei Jingzhou naturally noticed her gaze and smiled. Are you here to check on me? Li Xiwu walked up to him and said bluntly, I already know about your injury. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. He knew Li Xiwus personality too well. With what she knew, fooling her was extremely childish. Fortunately, he had no intention of pretending to be confused. He undid his cufflinks, pulled his sleeve up, and revealed the gauze on his arm to her openly. Li Xiwu: When she saw the gauze on Pei Jingzhous arm, her breathing stopped for a moment. If he was only lightly bandaged, she wouldnt have looked like this. However, the gauze on Pei Jingzhous arm started from his palm all the way to his arm. She was in a daze. Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, Is it enough to look at? Why dont I take off my clothes and let you take a slow and careful look? Li Xiwu pursed her lips in anger. Pei Jingzhou said, Im an injured person now. Scold me gently. Li Xiwu: Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words in the end. She wanted to reach out and touch his arm. But she didnt know where to start. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Is the wound deep? Pei Jingzhou used his uninjured hand to pull Li Xiwu to the sofa and sit down. He didnt answer her question and asked instead, What do you want to drink? Li Xiwu asked, Did you go to the hospital to take care of it? Pei Jingzhou poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Li Xiwu. Speak less and drink more water. The couple said their own things. None of it matched. Li Xiwu did not reach for the water. She frowned and stared at him angrily. The latters eyes softened as he smiled at her. Are you angry, my wife? Li Xiwu said, I dont object to what you do, but you shouldnt hurt yourself. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment by inflicting damage on the enemy while suffering? Pei Jingzhou said seriously, When Im invincible for my wife, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Li Xiwu: She took a deep breath and cut to the chase. Whats Fourth Brothers next arrangement? After a pause, she added, I dont want you to keep me out of this. After all, Im still your wife now. Pei Jingzhou smiled dotingly. You will be, too, in the future. Li Xiwus eyes trembled. Lets talk about serious matters first. Pei Jingzhou said, Ive done everything you want to do. Is it serious? Li Xiwu was stunned. Does Fourth Brother know what I want to do? Pei Jingzhous gaze was glued to her. Of course, I know. Thats why Ill be the villain. You just have to stand at a high place and watch your plan come true step by step. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Is the evidence complete? Evidence is the most troublesome thing. I prefer to deal with it directly. Pei Jingzhou smiled. But this is your plan, so Ive gathered all the evidence. Whats next for him is a trial. Chapter 103 - 103 This concerns Li Xiwu. Pei Jingzhou Cant Calm Down 103 This concerns Li Xiwu. Pei Jingzhou Cant Calm Down At this moment, Li Xiwu couldnt describe how she felt with words. Actually, she didnt have to come today. At that time, she could pretend not to have seen the message that had been sent to her. She could pretend not to know anything and ignore it. It had nothing to do with her. Then, she could stay in the inn in peace and continue recording todays live broadcast. But she was here anyway. On the way here, she stepped on the accelerator several times. She thought she must be crazy. Otherwise, why would she do such a crazy thing! When she arrived at the Pei Corporation building, she suddenly calmed down a lot. At the same time, she realized that she did not seem to have forced herself to come. Instead, she followed her heart. She looked up at Pei Jingzhou and pursed her lips. Pei Jingzhou asked her, What else do you want to know? Li Xiwu really didnt know how to respond to all hed done for her, so she simply changed the subject. Can I see your hands? Pei Jingzhou naturally reached out his hand. Its already bandaged. You cant see the wound. Why dont I get the doctor to remove the gauze so you can take a closer look? Li Xiwu couldnt help but squeeze his wrist. Pei Jingzhou hissed. It hurts. Li Xiwu didnt know if she pinched his wound. She let go a little and said in a lukewarm tone, Fourth Brother has times when he cries out in pain. Pei Jingzhou leaned over slightly and closed the distance between them. It hurts when its too tight. Li Xiwu looked up. Can you be serious? Pei Jingzhou looked away. I said cufflinks. After saying that, he even asked her seriously, What did you think of? Li Xiwu: The atmosphere was not very serious from the beginning. In the originally serious topic, he would tease her from time to time, and every time, it was just right, but the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious. When Li Xiwu lowered her eyes and focused on Pei Jingzhous arm, his gaze traced her lowered eyelashes. I asked He Wang to go to the Fourth High School to get evidence. Li Xiwu suddenly sat up straight. Pei Jingzhou saw the change in her expression. Surprised? Li Xiwu was quite surprised, but she did not show it very clearly. After a moment of silence, she asked calmly, How did Fourth Brother know that Chi Xus sister was also problematic? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Husband and wife are one. I can guess what youre thinking. Li Xiwu said, Just a guess? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Actually, she knew that he didnt really read minds. He just knew her very well. And he knew her very well. But they had only been together for three years, and he seemed to have known her since they were young. Why? After retracting her thoughts, Li Xiwu straightened up. What else did Fourth Brother arrange? Pei Jingzhou leaned back. Ive sent the truth to Xie Wens parents. Li Xiwus jaw tightened. Ive been in contact with Xie Wens parents recently. Ive also sent the evidence over. Pei Jingzhou smiled. What a coincidence. Li Xiwu stared at Pei Jingzhou for a while. Fourth Brother, you know that Ive been in contact with Xie Wens parents recently, right? Pei Jingzhou did not deny it in the end. Since he had agreed to talk openly, he would either not talk or confess. There was no point in hiding it. Otherwise, she would be unhappy. Li Xi lowered her eyelashes. Then the public opinion online Pei Jingzhou said, You dont have to look at it. Actually, the public opinion online had already been suppressed a lot. Pei Jingzhou naturally had his own arrangements for giving Chi Xu a chance to call the police and expose this matter. However, if the public opinion on the Internet went too far, Pei Jingzhou naturally would not let this public opinion ferment. They could attack him. But they could not attack Li Xiwu. Therefore, the trending topics had only been hanging for more than half an hour. Now that the popularity had decreased, there were no longer any topics or words about this matter on the trending list. Besides, in half an hour, the effect he wanted had been achieved. Li Xiwu raised her lips. Fourth Brother, do you think I cant stand the public opinion on the Internet? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and did not comment. Li Xiwu said, Ive seen too much public opinion. Theres nothing strange about it. However, this is the first time Fourth Brother has been scolded online. I wonder how youre feeling? Pei Jingzhou was slightly stunned. So, she cared about his feelings? Didnt look, so Im not affected, he said. Li Xiwu smiled. My first reaction when I saw the trending topic was that there was actually no need to expose the contents of the ward interview with Chi Xu. I could just submit the evidence, but last nights accident disrupted many things. She suddenly mentioned last nights accident. Pei Jingzhous expression darkened. The next second, his hand was covered by a soft palm. Pei Jingzhou looked down. Li Xiwus palm was covering the back of his hand. She held his hand and looked up at him. Dont be angry. Pei Jingzhou pursed his thin lips like a willow leaf. It was impossible not to be angry. In the business world and in the circle of friends, he talked about the structure and took care of the overall situation. However, this matter concerned Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu was the one who had structure or the overall situation. Thats why this morning happened. Im not angry anymore. Pei Jingzhou couldnt make it too obvious. His gaze stopped on her neck and he asked, Does your neck still hurt? Li Xiwus lips curled unconsciously. It doesnt hurt anymore. Pei Jingzhou reached over. Let me see. Li Xiwu did not dodge. She let Pei Jingzhou reach over and lift her collar. The touch of his hand on hers was warm. His hand wasnt cold, but when his hand came close to her neck, the skin on it tingled like an electric shock, and goosebumps rose quickly. She cringed, too. Pei Jingzhous hand stopped in midair and he smiled. I forgot to warm my hand first. Li Xiwu lifted her collar a little and revealed her clean and fair neck to Pei Jingzhou. His eyes darkened. She said, No more marks. It doesnt hurt. Actually, there was still a little mark. After all, Chi Xu had strangled her very hard last night. However, the mark was very faint. One needs to look for it carefully before seeing it. She had just restored her collar when she heard Pei Jingzhou say, I saw what happened last night. Li Xiwus hand, which was about to drop, paused. Looking carefully at Pei Jingzhous expression, he did not seem to be fooling her. However, if Pei Jingzhou had really seen Chi Xu strangle her last night, how could he not attack on the spot and wait until the next day to take revenge? That didnt make sense! The only possibility was that Pei Jingzhou did not see it on the spot. But there was no one else around at that time. They were also a certain distance from the inn, and the surveillance camera was also in a blind spot. She had specially seen this before. It could only be said that Chi Xu was thoughtful enough. Li Xiwu thought for only a few seconds before reacting quickly. Is it a dash camera? Pei Jingzhous voice was mixed with a smile. My wife is always the smartest. Li Xiwu: Li Xiwu guessed it. But she would not know that Pei Jingzhou had looked at her neck last night after she fell asleep. In the middle of the night, he went to retrieve the surveillance footage outside the inn. However, because the surveillance footage was a blind spot, he went to retrieve the dashcam of the surrounding cars. When he saw the recording of Li Xiwu being strangled by Chi Xu, he almost lost his mind and crushed the phone with his bare hands. He almost rushed upstairs and kicked open the door, pulling Chi Xu out and beating him to death. Chapter 104 - 104 Pei Jingzhou: Youre very important! 104 Pei Jingzhou: Youre very important! He forcefully suppressed this urge. When he returned to his room, he could not fall asleep. He stayed by Li Xiwus bed all night and called Chen Xin at dawn to ask him to drive over. After that, he went out the door and sat in the car, waiting patiently. Li Xiwu studied Pei Jingzhous face intently and called out, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou came back to his senses and looked at her. Li Xiwu asked calmly, What were you thinking at the moment the car hit? Pei Jingzhou looked into Li Xiwus eyes and replied, Im thinking about what you want to eat tonight. Ill take you out to eat or cook for you. Li Xiwu choked on a laugh. Dont you think its not worth it? Pei Jingzhou reached out and wrapped his arm around her lower back, pulling her closer to him. Do you not know how important you are? Li Xiwus breath caught. Was she the important one? Or was she important? She had always been able to differentiate between herself and the she in his heart. The one who could not differentiate them was Pei Jingzhou. Did he completely treat her as her by doing this for her? Thinking of this, Li Xiwu was surprisingly calm. That was the end of the topic. Li Xiwu had more important things to do next. She raised her hand to check her wristwatch. There were still ten minutes before the live broadcast. There was still time to rush back. She stood up. Fourth Brother, I have to go back to Fu Town. Pei Jingzhou sat still and only nodded. Li Xiwus gaze landed on his arm. She couldnt help but remind him, Your hand injury is quite serious. Watch your work and rest. Pei Jingzhou looked at her, his expression as if he did not hear clearly. What? Li Xiwu said, You hurt your hand, not your ear. Pei Jingzhou smiled. My hand is injured, but it seems to have pulled the nerves in front of my ears. It more or less affected me. Li Xiwu: In the past, Li Xiwu would not have fallen for it. She knew that this was his trick. Now, seeing that his hand was injured for her, Li Xiwu reluctantly accommodated him. She sat down and leaned close to him. Today is the last day of the second episode. Ill go back to Lake Lu tonight. Pei Jingzhous eyes suddenly darkened. Li Xiwu smiled. What a pity. Fourth Brothers hand was injured. With that, she started to get up. Pei Jingzhou grabbed her wrist and pulled her back easily. Are you leaving just like that? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Huh? Pei Jingzhou said, You came here specially to ask about my arrangements. Do you have anything else to say? Li Xiwu asked, What does Fourth Brother want to hear? Pei Jingzhou said, You know what I like to hear. Thats unfortunate. I dont know. She nimbly withdrew her hand from his, but didnt immediately stand up to leave. Instead, she reached out and pinched Pei Jingzhous face. Ill handle the matters in the afternoon. Fourth Brother, return to Lake Lu to recuperate early. Ill try to come back as soon as possible. Pei Jingzhou often pinched Li Xiwus face in the past like this. Of course he didnt use any strength. It was just a gentle pinch on her cheek, like he was teasing her. Now, Li Xiwu had taken advantage of Pei Jingzhou and used the small actions he liked to do to her previously on him. Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. Have you become bold? Li Xiwu didnt think much of it. So this is how it feels to pinch a human face. Li Xiwu was satisfied that she had teased him. However, Pei Jingzhou could not bear to let her go. He wanted to press her down and cuddle with her. When he hugged her waist, he sighed. If I had known earlier, I would have coaxed you back to Lake Lu. There were two meanings to that statement. She knew them both. Li Xiwu came out of the presidents office. Wang Kaiheng, who was in the secretarys seat, suddenly stood up. Mrs. Pei! Li Xiwu was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she walked up to Wang Kaiheng. Tell President Pei to get off work at four sharp. Tell him I said so. This was easy! Wang Kaiheng nodded in agreement. Dont worry, Mrs. Pei. Ill definitely tell him. Li Xiwu reminded him, Call me if he doesnt listen. Wang Kaiheng tried his best to suppress the smile on his lips. Okay, Mrs. Pei. After agreeing, he asked, Is Mrs. Pei coming to pick up President Pei tonight? This time, it was Li Xiwus turn to become speechless. After a few seconds of silence, she answered, Yes. Wang Kaiheng said, Okay, Mrs. Pei. Ill inform President Pei. Li Xiwu was speechless once again. Before she left, she reminded him, Prepare a light lunch for him. Wang Kaiheng could barely suppress his smile. Well definitely do as Mrs. Pei instructed. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. She recalled that every time she came to the Pei Corporation, it was always with the formation of the legal wife. Of course, be it the Pei Corporation or R.E. As long as it was an employee who often appeared beside Pei Jingzhou, they all knew her and had never mistaken her for someone else. It seemed to be a secret marriage, but it was not entirely a secret marriage. For example, after Pei Jingzhou appeared on this variety show recently, their relationship was no longer a secret marriage. Thinking that there was still a tough battle ahead, Li Xiwu sighed and went downstairs to drive away from the Pei Corporation. C Back in Fu Town. Li Xiwu parked the car and walked into the inn while looking at her phone. Currently, the heated discussion on Weibo is almost over. There were no relevant entries on the trending searches. It was only by manual search that the relevant public opinion appeared. A photo of Chi Xu waking up in the hospital and being interviewed by an entertainment reporter in the ward with a neck brace appeared in front of Li Xiwu. Chi Xu looked very miserable. [They suppressed the trending searches just like that. Is this the power of capital? How can a corporate executive be so capable?] [Chi Xu is really miserable!!] [Although the cause of this matter is Zheng Yuehuas fault, Li Xiwus husbands revenge is too terrifying. He drove into someone? It refreshed my worldview.] [Help! I was crazily CPing Li Xiwu and her husband yesterday, but my house collapsed today?] [Chi Xu looks so pitiful. His neck cant move at all. Its not easy to expose this matter under such pressure.] [Xie Wen is probably the most devastated now. She treated Li Xiwu as her best life mentor, but her life mentors husband drove his car and hit her husband.] [F*ck! Wave after wave of things have happened. Dont ruin my appetizer variety show.] [Is Mother-in-Law Joy still live-streaming? Will Li Xiwu still appear on camera?] [The power of capital is too strong. Its gone before the trending searches are stable. Forget it, Ill wait for todays live broadcast.] [Im standing neutrally until now, waiting for Li Xiwu to refute the rumors.] Because it had decreased in popularity, there were not many comments. However, almost all these comments were sympathetic with Chi Xus current encounter. Some netizens were still very rational and maintained a wait-and-see attitude. The police had yet to announce the exact reason for the car accident. Netizens also wanted to know if Li Xiwu would refute the rumors next. After all, the favorable impression Li Xiwu had accumulated on the show over the past few days was more than the disgust of this incident. Li Xiwu turned off her phone and went in. Just as she reached the threshold, she heard the conversation between Han Qianye and Min Hanrong. From the conversation, Min Hanrong should also be watching the show on the front line. As she spoke, Min Hanrong began to insult Han Qianye. Her tone was extremely uncomfortable. Han Qianye ignored her at first, but later, she got angry and asked inexplicably, I heard that your husband is the richest man in Hong Kong? Chapter 105 - 105 Within three days, Ill Get the Richest Man in Hong Kong to Change His Surname. 105 Within three days, Ill Get the Richest Man in Hong Kong to Change His Surname. The conversation changed too quickly. Min Hanrong smiled. The Wu family has always kept a low profile outside. Han Qianye said bluntly, Since youre so low-key, lets keep it low-key. In three days, the richest man in Hong Kong will change his surname. What do you think of this suggestion? Min Hanrong: ? Actually, Han Qianye did not like to show off her family background. Her original intention of going on the in-law variety show was only to facilitate Li Xiwu and her sons successful divorce. No matter how Min Hanrongs group showed off their family background in the variety show, she was not in the mood to compare. This was the first time she had said such impolite words in front of Min Hanrong today. To others, it might sound ridiculous. But she was the only one who knew how easy it was. She knew too well what kind of power the Pei family had. Besides, her husband was only temporarily retired, not dead! When Min Hanrong heard this, she was first stunned, then she laughed. Qianye, youre quite good at joking. Han Qianye said, Joking? How can you tell that Im joking? The smile on Min Hanrongs lips froze. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked, Do you know how long my lover has been the richest man in Xiangjiang? Without needing Han Qianye to ask, Min Hanrong answered her own question. My lover has been the richest man in Xiangjiang for twelve years. Meaning, do you know what the concept of twelve years means? It is an unimaginable concept! When she got married more than twenty years ago, the Internet said that she was married to a rich man in Hong Kong. It was true. After a few years, her husband, Wu Xian, became the richest man in Hong Kong from a rich man in Hong Kong. He took that title for twelve years, never wavering. This position was not only because of the amount of money he had. It was because he had accumulated countless connections in the first half of his life, as well as having connections in both the officials and the underworld, that he could sit in this position in Hong Kong. Now, Han Qianye wanted the richest man in Hong Kong to change to someone else? Was there something wrong with Han Qianyes brain? Otherwise, why would she say such stupid words? Han Qianye yawned in boredom. Its fine as long as you know that your husband has been the richest man in Xiangjiang for many years. Theres no need to specially tell me. Anyway, no one would know him after the richest man changed. Min Hanrong reminded her calmly, Han Qianye, youre already so old. Stop bragging. Han Qianye was even calmer than Min Hanrong. Youre right. Were already at this age, so we have to care about our dignity. At first glance, it sounded like she had admitted defeat. But why did Min Hanrong sound like she was implying something about her? No, it was connoting her! Mom! Just then, Li Xiwu walked in. The way she called out Mom was neither too loud nor too soft, enough to interrupt Min Hanrong and Han Qianyes conversation. Han Qianye and Min Hanrong looked at the same time. At this moment, Han Qianye looked much calmer. On the other hand, Min Hanrong did not look too good because she was sure that Han Qianyes last sentence was connoting her. However, the live broadcast was about to start. She had to hurry upstairs to touch up her makeup, so she said with a smile, Ill go touch up my makeup. Well continue chatting later. Han Qianye did not reply. When Min Hanrong passed by Li Xiwu, Li Xiwu nodded and smiled. After Min Hanrong went upstairs, Li Xiwu walked to Han Qianyes side and asked, Wheres Shenshen? When Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu, her expression subconsciously softened. Xiang Lan and Zhenzhen are looking after her outside the inn. By the way, where did you go? Li Xiwu said truthfully, I went to the Pei Corporation. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwus expression and asked tentatively, You didnt quarrel, did you? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and shook her head. Han Qianye felt uneasy and casually found a topic. I took the Zhengshan seed from my friend. Other than drinking flower tea, I usually like to drink this. Do you want a cup? Ill make it for you. Before Li Xiwu could respond, Han Qianye said as if she was promoting, Black tea nourishes the stomach and looks. Drinking it will only benefit you. Theres no harm. Li Xiwu said, Ill brew it myself later. Lets talk outside. Han Qianye could guess what they were talking about. She responded, Okay. The two of them walked side by side outside the inn. Not far away, Xu Muzhen was teasing Shenshen. Xiang Lan stood at the side and smiled gently. Li Xiwu looked away and slowed down. She took a deep breath and asked, You know everything? Min Hanrong used a sarcastic tone to imply to me the moment she arrived. Its difficult not to know. At this point, Han Qianye was angry. Li Xiwu asked calmly, What do you think about this? Han Qianye said, Stand and watch, or sit and watch. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. At the moment, this matter is spreading very quickly online, and the comments are not good. Try not to look at it, lest it affect your mood. Han Qianye snorted. How bad can those comments be? Dont underestimate my ability to withstand pressure. As she spoke, Han Qianye took out her phone in front of Li Xiwu and opened Weibo. She took a look and saw that the trending topic was gone. Han Qianye exited Weibo and put her phone back into her pocket. Look, the netizens are already tired of scolding. Who cares about them? Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Han Qianye turned around. Although I cant control Jingzhou, hes never made me worry once. Theres a reason for everything he does. He never messes around easily. At this point, Han Qianye paused for a moment before saying meaningfully, The Pei family has their own rules. Youll understand in the future. There was no need for later. Li Xiwu now understood the meaning of this sentence. With Pei Jingzhous strength, it was too easy to deal with a person. There was no need for him to do it himself. Even if he really did take action personally, this matter would not cause any waves on the Internet. It was obviously not an accident that it would blow up this time. She inhaled. The hand holding the phone in her pocket was slowly tightening. She hoped everything went well from here. C Xiang Lan did not pay much attention to what was happening on the Internet, but she heard Xu Muzhen mention a heated discussion on the Internet. However, Xiang Lan was not a gossipy person, so she was not very interested. She only reminded Xu Muzhen, Pretend you dont know. Get along as you should. Lets just do our own thing. Dont hit her when shes down. As Xu Muzhen teased Shenshen in the pram, she sighed. Its not easy to guess the controversy online. After all, the police havent announced the true situation of the car accident. But to be honest, although Sister Lis husband looked cold, I could still greet him with a smile. As for Chi Xu, I keep feeling that hes not as easy to get along with as he looks. I dont know if its my imagination. Xiang Lan smiled faintly. Perhaps its not an illusion, but an intuition? Chapter 106 - 106 A Trembling Scene! Shocking Everyone! 106 A Trembling Scene! Shocking Everyone! Xu Muzhen nodded seriously. That makes sense. Id rather believe that a womans intuition has always been accurate. Xiang Lan said, Actually, I believe that too. The two of them chatted casually. Little Shenshen, who was sleeping in the pram, was also very obedient. Ever since Xie Wen left, be it Han Qianye taking care of her or Xiang Lan, she had never cried. Sister Li! Auntie Han! Seeing Li Xiwu and Han Qianye walk over together, Xu Muzhen stood up and shouted. Xiang Lan turned around too. Youre here. Han Qianye walked to the pram. Xie Wen handed her daughter to me, but I slacked off and let you take care of her. Im really sorry. Xiang Lan laughed. Dont mention it. Xie Wen isnt around, so everyone should help take care of her. We dont have anything to do anyway. Xu Muzhen said, Yes, were bored anyway. Its so fun to tease the little guy. With that, Xu Muzhen looked at Little Shenshen in the pram. Actually, I was influenced by the people around me. I thought it was very troublesome to take care of children. After all, children are always noisy. It wasnt until I came into contact with Little Shenshen that I realized that children are also easy to take care of. After eating and drinking, they can play by themselves for the entire day. They arent noisy at all. Li Xiwu smiled and leaned over to look at Shenshen in the pram. The scene seemed to freeze at this moment. No one knew what Li Xiwu was thinking. Only Li Xiwu knew. She was thinking: Little Shenshen, your mothers nightmare will be over soon. C The live broadcast started at ten sharp. Millions of netizens flooded into the live-stream. [I thought the production team was too scared to broadcast today!] [Li Xiwu is actually on camera? She can actually live-stream with a clear conscience at this juncture?] [Chi Xu is so miserable. Isnt Li Xiwu going to the hospital to take a look? Is her conscience okay?] [Has Li Xiwus husband been arrested by the police?] [Im still waiting for Sister Li to refute the rumors. There must be a very clear ins and outs of this matter. Isnt everyone concluding too early?] [Hubby is very handsome, but his heart is very black.] [Who can understand my pain? The couple I was crazy about yesterday had collapsed the moment I opened my eyes today.] [I really like Li Xiwu. Although shes not a comedian, she brought me so much joy on Mother-in-Law Joys show. I feel that shes omnipotent.] [I really hope everyone is rational. For some reason, I feel terrible when I see Li Xiwu being scolded.] [If only Li Xiwu was really Mother Dragon. At this time, Mother Dragon fans would have gathered to protect her.] [I didnt believe that Li Xiwu was Mother Dragon, but I really hope that Li Xiwu is really Mother Dragon and let Mother Dragons fans help Li Xiwu fight and defeat these arrogant keyboard warriors.] Gao Yueban guessed that todays broadcast would be very popular. However, he did not expect it to explode to this extent! In the past, when they broadcasted, their popularity increased bit by bit, from hundreds of thousands to millions of viewers online. This time, 1.6 million netizens flooded into the live-stream. In just a minute, it continued to increase, scaring Gao Yueban so much that he didnt know what to say. Yu Jing swallowed. We do have popularity, but this formation is a little scary. Gao Yueban waved his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. Who says not? The director interrupted, Our variety show has been really popular recently. Gao Yueban looked at the director. Are you stupid? The director: ? C Li Xiwu could only stay under the live broadcast camera in peace. Because Little Shenshen could not appear on screen, all the cameras were far away from her, Li Xiwu. When Li Xiwu learned to mix milk powder for Shenshen, netizens argued [Is she feeling guilty? She actually took on the responsibility of taking care of Xie Wens daughter.] [Its obvious that shes faking it. Do you want to pretend that this never happened?] [Li Xiwu is really miserable. Her husband is hiding. Shes carrying everything alone.] Lunch was arranged by the production team. At the dining table, in order to maintain her image, Min Hanrong did not deliberately stir up trouble and mention certain topics. Because they were missing a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, coupled with what had happened now, everyone ate quietly. Until someone suddenly came to the inn Miss Li! Miss Li! Someone is looking for you outside! The staff came in to inform her. Li Xiwu put down her bowl and chopsticks. Whos looking for me? The staff said, Xie Wens parents. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Okay, Ill be right out. When they heard that Xie Wens parents were here to look for Li Xiwu, everyone at the dining table looked at her. Min Hanrong looked worried, but her worried expression looked meaningful. Why are Xie Wens parents looking for Xiwu? The words were too obvious. Tao Jing frowned. Could Xie Wens parents be here at this time Xiang Lan put down her bowl and chopsticks. Invite Xie Wens parents in for a while. It was a good suggestion. They could talk face to face. Xu Muzhen retracted her chopsticks and said worriedly, My mother is right. Why dont we invite them in first? Han Qianye was the least calm. Wait, wait! Everyone looked at Han Qianye. What if Xie Wens parents were unreasonable and hurt Xixi? Han Qianye thought that she had to stand in front of Li Xiwu. So she said, Ill go out with Xixi. [Damn! Looks like its true! Xie Wens parents specially came to ask Li Xiwu for an explanation!] [I was still hopeful, but the house really collapsed.] [Xie Wens parents are here. They must be here to denounce her on behalf of her son-in-law. They wont do anything to Li Xiwu, right?] [Although Li Xiwu doesnt look weak, Xie Wens parents probably wont be able to withstand a double match.] [Although its not right to hit someone, the production team must protect Sister Li.] [The injustice has a master. Xie Wens parents should also look for Li Xiwus husband. Li Xiwu is really miserable this time.] [I suggest that Li Xiwu apologize properly and get Xie Wens parents forgiveness.] Netizens kept spamming the comments. Some people were watching the show. Some people were worried about Li Xiwus subsequent encounter. Han Qianye accompanied Li Xiwu out of the inn. Everyone at the dining table could not sit still anymore. They stood up and followed her out, thinking that if the scene went out of control, they could stop them At this moment, all the cameras were moved outside. Outside the inn, Xie Wens parents were standing there expectantly. When she saw Li Xiwu come out, Xie Wens mother suddenly walked towards her. At this moment, everyones hearts were in their throats. The millions of netizens watching the live-stream were so shocked that they stopped typing. They looked at Xie Wens mother in horror and the scene of her suddenly rushing towards Li Xiwu. Chapter 107 - 107 Everyone Sighed. She Actually Knelt Down To Li Xiwu! 107 Everyone Sighed. She Actually Knelt Down To Li Xiwu! Everyone had thought that there would be chaos and commotion. The scene might even get extremely out of control. Unexpectedly, what happened next shocked everyone! Xie Wens mother quickly walked up to Li Xiwu and grabbed her hand excitedly. Miss Li Then she bent ninety degrees and bowed deeply to Li Xiwu. She did not get up immediately after this bow. Li Xiwu could not help her up immediately. When Xie Wens mother stood up, her eyes were red and she was sobbing. Thank you for everything youve done for Wenwen. If you hadnt insisted, we wouldnt have known that Wenwen had been living such a miserable life this year. Thank you. With that, Xie Wens mother bowed deeply again. Everyone present, including the millions of netizens watching online, they were all shocked!! [What the hell is going on?] [Arent Xie Wens parents here to denounce her on behalf of her son-in-law? Why are they bowing?!] [Xie Wens mother just said that she wants to thank Li Xiwu for what she did for Xie Wen. What did Li Xiwu do for Xie Wen?] [Did I miss anything while I was watching the show?] [I thought Xie Wens mother would hit Li Xiwu when she rushed forward. It scared me so much that my heart raced.] [Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality? What on earth could make a woman in her fifties bend over and thank her in tears?] [Didnt they say that after Xie Wen and Chi Xu got together, she stopped interacting with her family? Xie Wens mother must have known something. I hope it can be exposed later!] [Unless Chi Xu cheats, I think theres room for public opinion to reverse. Otherwise, if a small matter is exposed, it wont cause much trouble.] [Its true that male celebrities who cheat now can be hammered to death, but I dont think its possible for Chi Xu to cheat unless theres a bigger scandal on him, and its even more terrifying than cheating.] [Although I dont think highly of Chi Xu, I dont think its possible for him to cheat.] Other than being shocked, the netizens quickly began to discuss if Chi Xu had cheated. However, many people firmly believed that Chi Xu would not cheat. Because his love for Xie Wen was almost overflowing from the screen. How could Chi Xu, whose heart was filled with Xie Wen, cheat? No matter how they thought about it, it was impossible. However, these controversies quickly exploded. The popularity of Weibos trending topics continued to rise. This mornings trending topics had gone down, and now, they were trending again, but it was a different topic. This time, no public relations team came forward to deal with it. If this continued, the heated discussion would quickly occupy all the popularity lists on Weibo! Min Hanrong touched Tao Jings shoulder with her shoulder. Jingjing, Im confused. Can you tell whats going on? Tao Jing swallowed. She should be Xie Wens mother, but she seemed to be bowing to Xiwu just now, and she seemed to be thanking her? Min Hanrong said, I can see that, but this situation is too Stunned! She thought that Xie Wens parents had rushed to the variety show recording venue to look for Li Xiwu to denounce her on behalf of their son-in-law. In the end, it was completely different from what she had expected. Is she here to thank her? Min Hanrong could not understand and even became more and more confused. Not to mention Min Hanrong, everyone present was also stunned. Xiang Lan also looked at Xu Muzhen. Look, whats going on? Xu Muzhen pursed her lips. I dont know whats going on, but its not that bad. Xiang Lan thought so too. She and Zhenzhen were not here to watch the show. She was afraid that the situation would get out of control later, so she would help persuade them if she could. It would be best if they could sit down and talk. Although she could not understand the current situation, not losing control as expected was the best outcome. After all, no one wanted to see such a chaotic and out-of-control situation. Han Qianye was also stunned. She was already prepared to stand in front of Li Xiwu. If that woman dared to attack, she would return the favor. Who was afraid of who? It was just a fight. She, Han Qianye, had been a little tyrant in the family since she was young. She had never admitted defeat when it came to fighting. However, Han Qianye never expected that the development of the matter was completely different from what she had expected! This woman rushed over aggressively but did not attack. Instead, it was a ninety-degree deep bow. This this, this, this, this, this??? Seeing that Xie Wens mother was about to bow again, Li Xiwu quickly held Xie Wens mothers hand. You dont have to do this. Theres really no need. Luo Yings face was covered in tears. If not for you, the two of us would still be in the dark, let alone know that Wenwen have suffered so much in the Chi family. At this moment, Xie Wens father, Xie Shaohua, walked over. Unlike Luo Ying, who had lost control of her emotions with tears streaming down her face, Xie Shaohua was clearly much calmer. Miss Li, we specially rushed over because we hoped that you could come to the hospital with us. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and remained silent. Although Xie Shaohua was calm and composed, it was not difficult to see the sadness on his face. Wenwen has been bullied for so long. Since we know now, we cant take this lying down! Luo Ying blamed herself. I really didnt like Chi Xu back then, but Wenwen insisted on being with him. In a fit of anger, I blocked Wenwen. I wanted Wenwen to choose between us and Chi Xu, whether to choose love or parents, but this girl was unwilling to give in to me. After knowing that Wenwen was pregnant, I took the initiative to give in and visit her. As we chatted, I persuaded her, but every time, I was disappointed. I thought that she and Chi Xu were really in love. I thought that she stubbornly followed Chi Xu because Chi Xu made her very happy. I was relieved to see that she was well. But I didnt expect, I didnt expect this sanctimonious Chi Xu actually bullied Wenwen like this. My daughter was actually tortured by her into such a submissive state. He destroyed Wenwen. He destroyed my daughter Luo Ying became more and more agitated. When she was so agitated that she lost control, there were signs of dizziness. She swayed and could not stand steadily. Her body tilted to the side and she almost fell. Li Xiwu reacted extremely quickly and immediately held Luo Ying. Auntie! Auntie! Dont be agitated. Ill accompany you to the hospital. The moment Li Xiwu agreed to go to the hospital, under everyones gaze, Xie Shaohua, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly knelt down to Li Xiwu. Yes, it was sudden. So sudden that everyone was caught off guard. This action shocked everyone!!! Li Xiwus pupils also trembled. Her extremely fast instinct urged her to help Xie Shaohua up, but she was not strong enough. She could only watch as Xie Shaohua knelt down to her Chapter 108 - 108 Petition, Seeking Live Exposure! 108 Petition, Seeking Live Exposure! [Ahhh, whats going on?] [Xie Wens father actually knelt down to Li Xiwu! Damn! Did I really see wrongly!] [Why did Xie Wens father kneel to Li Xiwu?! What right does Li Xiwu have?] [Unbelievable.] [From what Xie Wens mother said just now, Chi Xu seems to have done something to hurt Xie Wen, but their meeting was so sweet and the date on the show was very loving. Could it be all an act?] [Did Chi Xu really cheat?] [Xie Wen and Chi Xus love is clearly so sweet. I really dont believe that Chi Xu cheated.] [Chi Xu is still in the hospital. Did they join forces? Didnt Xie Wens mother say just now that she had always looked down on Chi Xu?] [But Xie Wens father kneeling down to Li Xiwu is really too shocking. Id rather believe that something big must have happened!] Li Xiwu steadied Luo Ying. She rushed to help Xie Shaohua up. Uncle, its not necessary. Its really not necessary. Get up first. Luo Ying steadied herself. She told herself that she was not at the hospital yet and that the beast had not suffered retribution. She had to resist until she saw the beast suffer retribution with her own eyes before she fell. She watched as her husband knelt down to Li Xiwu. She almost knelt down with her, but Li Xiwu steadied her. Auntie, dont. Luo Ying cried and complained, not making things difficult for Li Xiwu. Xie Shaohua knelt down. Although his eyes were red, his gaze was extremely sincere. Wenwen is our only daughter. Shes been the apple of our eyes since she was young. We never expected her to work hard in her career. Its enough as long as shes happy for the rest of her life. However, she met a bad person and failed to get up. No one reached out to pull her. You were the one who reached into the fire pit to pull her despite the burns. Miss Li, only you can bear this kneel. Li Xiwu held Xie Shaohuas arm. Uncle, I know your sincerity. Get up first. Arent we going to the hospital? Xie Shaohua remembered that there were more important things to do and stood up. The couple stood aside and waited. Since Li Xiwu had agreed to go to the hospital with Xie Wens parents, it was naturally not good to waste time. She turned around and walked to Han Qianye. Han Qianye was still dumbfounded. Li Xiwu said, Ill accompany Xie Wens parents to the hospital. Han Qianye came back to her senses, but her expression still looked a little dazed. He, he, he, he just knelt down to you!? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Its a long story, but I have to go to the hospital now. Han Qianye: Oh. After being stunned for a few seconds, Han Qianye suddenly stopped Li Xiwu. Xixi, can I go? Recently, Han Qianye had suddenly changed the way she addressed her. Li Xiwu was still a little unused to it. One of us has to stay on camera. Han Qianye said, Alright then! Han Qianye could only suppress her thoughts for the time being. However, she was still worried. She was now afraid that someone would bully Li Xiwu, especially with Li Xiwus non-competitive personality. She was the easiest to bully! She was not at all reassured. [Petition, please follow Li Xiwu!] [Xie Wens parents rushed over and bowed and knelt. Im also confused about what happened. Can it be resolved in front of the live broadcast?] [I think Chi Xu must have cheated! Otherwise, Xie Wens parents wouldnt be so angry.] [Could everyone have forgotten about Li Xiwus husband driving into Chi Xu because of this? Anyway, I cant forget it.] [The person who cant forget, why dont you put it in your genealogy?] [Director? Are you really not considering going with Li Xiwu?] At this moment, millions of netizens watching online were petitioning, hoping that the camera could follow Li Xiwu to the hospital and broadcast what would happen next. The director turned to look at Gao Yueban. Because the dog had been barking too loudly recently, he lowered his voice and asked, Director Gao, are you sure you wont consider it? Gao Yueban crossed his arms and said calmly, Do I still need to consider? President Pei has already arranged it. The directors eyes widened. Boss Pei has arranged everything? Yu Jing chimed in, Not only has President Pei arranged it, but he has also arranged for the guests to replace Xie Wen. The director clicked his tongue. Boss Pei is planning ahead. Gao Yueban said, He indeed planned ahead. I didnt expect that even the guests to replace Xie Wens group had been arranged. How is the new mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Are they ordinary people or people from the industry? Yu Jing asked. His news was naturally not as fast as Gao Yuebans. Gao Yueban let out a long sigh. Shes half a person in the industry and half a commoner. The director added, So its a newcomer? Gao Yueban nodded. Yu Jing said, If its a newcomer, its better to reduce one group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. We can also record three groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Gao Yueban said, I thought so too, but President Pei is the biggest investor in our variety show. Hes our father, so we have to listen to him. Yu Jing said, That makes sense. The director said, I dont understand, but I think its awesome. C Li Xiwu followed Xie Wens parents to the hospital where Chi Xu was. The sun was shining brightly today, and the cold air was not that dense. After the car arrived at the hospital, Li Xiwu realized that there were many entertainment reporters squatting outside the hospital. These entertainment reporters had been waiting here for a long time. Some entertainment reporters waited patiently, while others disguised themselves and tried to sneak in again, but no one succeeded. There were dozens of bodyguards guarding the door from front to back. There was no gap or opportunity at all. Coupled with the scene of Xie Wens father kneeling to Li Xiwu in the live broadcast not long ago, this recording was already trending on Weibo. After knowing that Li Xiwu was going to accompany Xie Wens parents to the hospital where Chi Xu was hospitalized, the various magazines and platforms immediately sent another group of entertainment reporters over and squatted outside the hospital. Just to catch the first big piece of news. At this moment, one of the entertainment reporters saw her and shouted Its Li Xiwu! Li Xiwu was stunned. She looked up and saw entertainment reporters swarming towards her from all directions. There were about a dozen of them, men and women with their own work tags around their necks and Union Platform LOGO microphones in their hands. They surged over in that manner, as if they could stuff the microphones into their mouths if they werent careful. Seeing these people rushing towards Li Xiwu, Xie Shaohua stood in front of her without hesitation. Even Luo Yings thin body tried to block it. Li Xiwu! Do you have anything to say to the media about your husband hitting Chi Xu? Li Xiwu, did you come to the hospital to visit Chi Xu because you feel guilty? Chi Xu is already awake. Did you specially come over to make peace with him? Has Chi Xu really cheated? Li Xiwu, do you have any evidence? Chapter 109 - 109 Saw the Truth! The Critical Moment! 109 Saw the Truth! The Critical Moment! Entertainment reporters had always been sharp with their words. It wasnt that Li Xiwu hadnt experienced it before. The aura that swarmed over was annoying. But this was a critical moment. Li Xiwu didnt have the time or energy to argue. Sorry, I dont have the first news here. Please make way. The entertainment reporters had no intention of letting Li Xiwu off. The microphone turned to face Xie Wens parents. May I ask, Mr. Xie, did Chi Xu really cheat? Mrs. Xie, do you have anything to tell everyone? Mrs. Xie, you said that Li Xiwu has done a lot for Xie Wen. Can you tell me what it is specifically? Mrs. Xie Luo Ying took out her aura and shouted, Enough! With this energetic roar, everyone immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at Luo Ying. Li Xiwu was stunned. Only Xie Shaohua looked calm. Although his wife was soft and weak, no one could compete in terms of decibel. Luo Ying reached out and snatched the microphone from one of the entertainment reporters. If youre so curious, why dont you go in and ask Chi Xu? The entertainment reporter immediately retorted, We cant get into the hospital. Luo Yings voice was even louder than before. What does it have to do with me if you cant enter? It means that youre not capable. Youre asking me a lot of questions. Who are you to me? Why should I tell you? The entertainment reporter choked. Luo Ying said, Why are you so curious? Archimedes doesnt even know how to bicker like you! If you want information, wait outside. Im going to deal with my daughter now! Dismissed! With that, she didnt forget to stuff the microphone back into the entertainment reporters hand. The other entertainment reporters: Even Li Xiwu did not expect Luo Ying, who looked so weak and cried so hard, to be so unyielding. Most of the entertainment reporters had cameras in their hands. The scene of Xie Wens mother scolding the reporters had already been quickly posted online. Entertainment Gossip account with two million fans posted on Weibo: [#Xie Wens parents #Xie Wens mother is domineering. JPG.video.] [Xie Wens mother is domineering!] [Xie Wens mother is so stubborn. If Chi Xu really cheats, will his injuries worsen?] [Chi Xu is definitely finished.] [When will the police results be announced? I just want to know what the car accident was all about.] [Sister Li and Brother-in-law must be innocent. I keep feeling that this is Chi Xus scheme.] [F*ck! The third group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-laws camera is on. The image is a hospital! F*ck, f*ck! F*ck!] [Im stunned. The third groups live-stream is really on, and its even in the hospital. Whats going on?] [The production team is awesome!] [The director must have heard everyones call!] [Director, youre the shore, Im the ship, and youre the sun. Ill spin for you. Only with you around will I be happy. It wont change even if the world was given to me.] [Ahhh, I can see the truth now. Im so excited.] [You have to expose it! Sister Li cant be wronged, and Xie Wen cant be wronged either.] After Luo Ying finished scolding the reporters, she pulled Li Xiwu into the hospital. Some reporters wanted to stop them from walking, but at this moment, a black mass of people walked over. When they calmed down, they saw that it was actually the bodyguards guarding the entrance outside the hospital. These bodyguards came forward and directly picked up the entertainment reporters who tried to sneak in again and threw them far away. The bodyguards looked unfriendly and fierce. They were even suited thugs, scaring the group of entertainment reporters so much that they did not dare to act rashly. Surrounded by bodyguards, the three of them entered the hospital and took the elevator upstairs. At this moment, a cameraman was standing outside Chi Xus ward with a camera on his shoulder. Beside him was another camera, and there were also staff members accompanying the cameraman to assist him. This was a live broadcast of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law guests traveling alone. Li Xiwu was stunned at first. Luo Ying, who was beside her, couldnt wait to go forward and push open the ward door. There were only three people in the ward. Chi Xu, who was lying on the bed, Xie Wen, who was sitting silently by the bed, and Zheng Yuehua, who was cursing by the bed. Before Luo Ying came in, Zheng Yuehua was still nagging at Xie Wen What good friend! Bullshit good friend! Is that what your good friend did to you? Let her husband hit your husband? This lawsuit is set! Let me tell you, Xie Wen, if you have any conscience, you have to fall out with that Li Xiwu and fight for your husband. Say something! Why arent you saying anything? Youre not thinking of letting this go, do you? Were still the ones paying for the medical expenses. Isnt her husband some corporate executive? Even if he didnt make tens of millions a year, its at least a few million, right? Let them pay! Zheng Yuehua became angrier and angrier. After talking for a long time, Xie Wen did not say a word. She walked over and pinched Xie Wens arm. Are you mute? Im talking to you. Why dont you make a sound? Do you think I dont exist? Xie Wen remained silent and pursed her lips. As the saying goes, if you dont explode in silence, you perish in silence. Xie Wen did not know if she was the former or the latter, but she knew one thing very well. She was not that worried about Chi Xu being injured in this car accident. She hadnt even planned to come to the hospital. Zheng Yuehua bombarded her with calls. She didnt want to answer it at all. She just wanted to be deaf and blind and pretend not to know anything. Until Chi Xu called. Seeing the caller ID flash on the phone screen, she finally picked up Chi Xus call. Chi Xus weak voice came from the receiver. Wenwen I miss you. Xie Wen pursed her lips. Are you feeling better? Mom is taking care of you over there. I cant come with Shenshen. Ill come over after the live broadcast today. Chi Xus voice was weak. Wenwen, can you come over now? I cant. Xie Wen was very determined this time. The smell of disinfectant in the hospital is too strong. I cant come with Shenshen. The next second, Chi Xus emotions collapsed. My head hurts and I cant move my neck. Im like a vegetable. I might as well be dead. Xie bit her lip. What are you talking about? Rest well. Chi Xu said, Are you indifferent even if I die? Xie Wen took a deep breath. Chi Xu, take it that Im begging you. Dont be willful. Ill come and see you later. Chi Xu said, The police will be here soon. Ill tell the police that Li Xiwus husband drove into me. Xie Wen suddenly stood up and said anxiously, Chi Xu, listen to me. If this matter can be minimized, then well minimize it. I believe Mr. Pei didnt do it on purpose. This should just be an accident. She unintentionally revealed Pei Jingzhous surname. But at that time, Chi Xus mind was filled with anger and he did not care about the surname of the person who bumped into him. Moreover, his anger was focused on Xie Wens indifference to his injury. Instead, she suddenly had emotions when he was about to accuse Li Xiwus husband and let him trivialize it? Chi Xu sneered. Come here first. Ill consider your suggestion. Chapter 110 - 110 The Divorce Procedures Will Be Delivered Immediately! 110 The Divorce Procedures Will Be Delivered Immediately! Xie Wen, who had not planned to go to the hospital, had no choice but to hand Shenshen over to Han Qianye and rush to the hospital because Chi Xu said that he wanted to accuse Pei Jingzhou. She handed Shenshen to Han Qianye because she trusted Li Xiwu unreservedly. Therefore, she was more willing to trust Han Qianye. She thought that she could have a good talk with Chi Xu when she came to the hospital. She advised Chi Xu to minimize this matter and not cause trouble. She knew Pei Jingzhous identity, so she knew very well that Chi Xu was undoubtedly throwing an egg at a rock. She advised him for his own good, but Chi Xu did not listen. When the police came to ask, he still told them everything. After that, Xie Wen remained silent. No matter what Zheng Yuehua said or scolded her, she sat quietly indifferently. Zheng Yuehuas words became more and more unpleasant, but Chi Xu did not stop her. He closed his eyes as if he could not hear anything. At this moment, probably because Zheng Yuehua was too noisy, Chi Xu opened his eyes and shouted impatiently, Mom! Zheng Yuehua stopped cursing. Looking at her son, who had opened his eyes, she immediately walked to the bed and asked worriedly, Are you thirsty? Do you want water? As she spoke, she ordered Xie Wen, who was sitting motionlessly, What are you waiting for? Cant you see that Little Xu is awake? Hurry up and get him some water! When Xie Wen heard this, she picked up the cup numbly and poured Chi Xu a glass of water. Chi Xu said, Im not thirsty. Xie Wens hand that was holding the cup paused and she looked at Chi Xu. After listening to your mothers nagging for so long, you finally cant stand it anymore? Chi Xus eyes flickered. My mother? Xie Wen pursed her lips. Isnt she your mother? She didnt give birth to me. Beside her, Zheng Yuehua raised her hand and pushed Xie Wen. Your temper has grown, right? You have to call me Mom after marrying my son. Why? Do you think its unfair to call me Mom now? Because of this push, Xie Wen lost her grip on the cup and it fell to the ground. Clang! Glass shattered, and even water and glass splashed all over the floor. Coincidentally, just as Zheng Yuehua pushed Xie Wen, Luo Ying pushed open the ward door and walked in. The moment she entered, she saw her daughter being bullied by that evil mother-in-law! Luo Ying shouted in a strong voice, Crazy woman! What are you doing? This voice shocked Zheng Yuehua. When Xie Wen heard this familiar voice, she was stunned. The moment she looked up, her eyes immediately turned red. Luo Ying couldnt take it anymore. She rushed over and pulled Xie Wen behind her as she protected her child. Zheng Yuehua, my daughter didnt marry into your Chi family for your family to bully. Put yourself in your shoes. You also have a daughter. If she meets a mother-in-law like you when she gets married in the future, will it be considered karma?! Zheng Yuehua snapped out of her shock. Before she could calm down, Luo Ying pointed at her nose and cursed! How could she tolerate this! At this moment, Zheng Yuehua was already in a fit of anger. She scolded back with a ferocious expression, Why dont you ask your good daughter? Her husband was knocked down, but she still spoke up for the culprit. Is this the good daughter you raised? Luo Ying gritted her teeth. My Wenwen was bullied by your family of demons because she was too kind. Oh? We bully her? Zheng Yuehua placed her hands on her hips. Dont you know what your daughter is like? Do you need me to remind you? Its fine if shes a traitor, but she cant even give birth to a son! The moment she said that Luo Yings face turned green with anger. Ive seen people wrap their feet, but Ive never seen someone wrap their cerebellum. Anyone with a little culture should know that the decision to give birth to a boy or a girl rests with a man. Also, I want to ask, does your family have a throne to inherit? Which emperors descendant is your son? Zheng Yuehua choked. She had long seen how eloquent Luo Ying was. Actually, she did not think much of Xie Wen at that time. With Little Xus appearance, his wife had to be at least a fair, rich, and beautiful woman to be worthy of him. However, at that time, her son was determined to be with Xie Wen. Thinking that Xie Wen was also a big star, she more or less had some pride. For this marriage, she went to look for Xie Wens parents. In the end, what did she say? She would never marry her daughter to the Chi family! At that time, Zheng Yuehua was furious! Her daughter had become a barely famous female celebrity from an ordinary family. It was as if she could go to heaven. Ever since that time, she had never gone to the Xie family again. Mom! At this moment, Chi Xu suddenly called out, Mom. Zheng Yuehua thought that he was calling her. She turned around and saw that her son was looking at Luo Ying. She was instantly furious. You still call her Mom? Do you see her treating you as her son-in-law?! Chi Xu glanced at Zheng Yuehua silently. Zheng Yuehuas mouth moved, but in the end, she stopped. Only then did Chi Xu look at Luo Ying again and call out, Mom. Luo Ying was expressionless. Ive never acknowledged you as my son-in-law! Zheng Yuehua was like a kerosene barrel. Little Xu, did you hear her tone Chi Xu glanced at Zheng Yuehua again, and she shut her mouth resentfully. Luo Ying saw this scene clearly. When she thought of the methods Chi Xu had used to woo Wenwen, a chill ran down Luo Yings spine. After all the torture her daughter had been through Chi Xus expression was gentle. Mom, my neck is injured. Im sorry I can only lie down and talk to you like this. Thank you for coming to see me. Please sit for a while. At this moment, Xie Wen was protected by Luo Ying. When she heard Chi Xus gentle and polite words, she looked a little dazed. Luo Yings sneer quickly pulled her out of her trance and back to reality. See you? Youre not that worthy to let me see you personally. Let me tell you, Im here to take Wenwen back. Just wait. The divorce procedures will be sent to your bed as soon as possible. Hearing this, the gentleness on Chi Xus face dissipated and his expression darkened. When Zheng Yuehua heard that Luo Ying was here to get Xie Wen to divorce her son, she could not help but say, Divorce? You can divorce just because you want to?! Have you asked Xie Wen? Xie Wen loves Little Xu to death. She cant bear to divorce him. Just because Xie Wen liked Chi Xu too much, Zheng Yuehua was fearless. She was certain that Xie Wen could not leave her son and would never get a divorce. With a free nanny at home, she would not have to worry so much. She has such a happy life now. If they got a divorce, the next daughter-in-law might not be as obedient as Xie Wen! She definitely could not let Xie Wen really divorce her son! Luo Ying felt disgusted just by looking at Zheng Yuehuas face. She turned to Xie Wen and asked, Mom and Dad know everything. Its our fault for knowing it too late. Mom is here to pick you up today. Are you going with Mom? Xie Wens eyes turned red and tears fell. Luo Ying raised her hand to wipe her daughters tears. Ill ask you again. Do you want to go home with me? Chapter 111 - 111 All Evidence Exposed! The Internet Is Shocked! 111 All Evidence Exposed! The Internet Is Shocked! Wenwen! Chi Xu was probably anxious. He was very afraid that Xie Wen would really agree to leave with Luo Ying and try to get out of the bed in a self-torture method. Zheng Yuehuas heart skipped a beat. She quickly went forward to help Chi Xu prevent him from falling down. Little Xu, lie down properly. Dont worry, Mom is here. I wont let them take Xie Wen away. Chi Xu waved Zheng Yuehuas hand away and looked at Xie Wen sadly. Wenwen, I cant live without you. Please, dont leave me Xie Wen was moved. Luo Ying grabbed Xie Wens hand. Wenwen! Xie Wen suddenly came back to her senses. At this moment, the live broadcast was on outside the ward. The fourth live-stream had already reached 7 million viewers online! It broke to a new high!!! Even though there was no image, the conversation in the ward was clear and the netizens could hear it! [Although I cant see the scene, why do I hear that Xie Wens parents want to forcefully break up Xie Wen and Chi Xu?] [When they first got together, they didnt come out to break up the couple. Whats the use of breaking up the couple now? Their daughter is half a year old!] [Zheng Yuehuas mouth is really stinky! Shes still disgusting as ever! But Chi Xu is really pitiful. He got into a car accident and now his wife is leaving him!] [Chi Xu is really miserable!] [I think Chi Xu definitely didnt cheat. It should be because Zheng Yuehua treated Xie Wen badly, so Xie Wens parents wanted to take her away.] [Its pitiful to have such a mother-in-law. Move out with Chi Xu and live alone. This way, you can maintain your relationship as husband and wife.] [Zheng Yuehuas behavior is really amazing. Who wouldnt suffocate in that house?] [I saw that everyone said that Zheng Yuehua is not worthy of being on Mother-in-Law Joy, but from another perspective, if it werent for Mother-in-Law Joy, no one would have known that Xie Wen was living so badly in the Chi family!] The comments were already flying. At least 80% of the millions of people in the live-stream thought that Zheng Yuehua, this troublemaker, had affected the harmony between Xie Wen and Chi Xu. There were also netizens who guessed: [If Li Xiwu only told Xie Wens parents that Xie Wen was not treated well by her mother-in-law in her in-laws house, she wouldnt have knelt down the moment she came, right?] [Im shocked too. Mr. Xie knelt down the moment he came up and stunned me.] [I thought it was a big deal. If thats all, its really too exaggerated. Just thank her seriously.] [Its not a program effect, is it?] Some netizens had already started to say that it was the shows effect. Word spread like wildfire. Gradually, more and more people thought that it was the effect of the show. Li Xiwu was about to enter the ward. Mr. Xie entered before her. Zheng Yuehua took a look and realized that the couple was here. She looked Xie Shaohua up and down and saw that he was not carrying anything. He was only holding a document bag. She said, The couple are here. Were all family so you can forget the gifts. Why didnt you bring a fruit basket? Xie Shaohua was very rude. A fruit basket? The fruit basket is so shabby. Do you want a pair of silver bracelets? The moment she heard about the silver bracelet, Zheng Yuehuas expression lit up. The silver bracelet is barely enough, but it doesnt have the value of gold. I think the silver bracelet is quite suitable! As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shaohua unceremoniously opened the document bag in his hand, pulled out a stack of documents, and threw them at Zheng Yuehua. Look! Look carefully at what your son has done to my daughter in the past two years. Didnt you want a silver bracelet? Its been arranged. Its on the way! When he threw the documents to Zheng Yuehua, she subconsciously caught them. But why did Xie Shaohuas words sound wrong? Zheng Yuehua flipped through it roughly, but she could not understand it. What are these? Xie Shaohua sneered. What is it? Its written clearly in black and white. Cant you understand? Zheng Yuehua choked. Chi Xus expression had already changed drastically. He stared fixedly at the document, his eyes almost popping out. At this moment, Li Xiwu raised her hand and gestured for the cameraman to enter. The cameraman nodded and carried the live camera into the ward. When three to five people came in at once, Zheng Yuehua asked warily, Who are you? Why are you here? The cameraman looked innocent. Zheng Yuehua immediately recognized the cameraman and said with an embarrassed expression, Oh, its you guys. Group Three isnt live-streaming today. Why are you here? The cameraman said nothing and pointed at the camera. When Zheng Yuehua saw this, she realized that the live broadcast had already started. At this moment, Chi Xus expression was very dark and he was very nervous. Get out! All of you! Chase them out! The cameramen stood where they were. No one went out. Chi Xu said to Zheng Yuehua sternly, Mom, get them out! Get them out! Zheng Yuehua listened to her son and prepared to discuss with the cameraman. Forget about todays live broadcast. Her son was already in such a state, but he was still live broadcasting in the ward. Was he going to make a fool of himself?! She had yet to open her mouth to discuss when Xie Shaohua snorted. Go out? Go out? Chi Xu, are you feeling guilty? Ill leave my words here. No one can go out today. Im here today to expose the evil things youve done to my daughter. As he spoke, Xie Shaohua took the document from Zheng Yuehuas hand and opened it page by page. Buying the horse trainer and deliberately getting close to Xie Wen. The horse trainer personally admitted it and provided the transfer record. Chi Xu transferred 5,000 yuan to the horse trainer on that day! The sailor had a professional judgment. When he was on the lookout a day in advance, he discovered the abnormality of the water flow. In order to ensure the safety, he informed the production team to delay filming the drowning scene, this notice was intercepted. That night, Chi Xu got the assistant director drunk and the assistant director slept until the next afternoon. At that time, the drowning scene had already been filmed. In order to seal his mouth, he advised the assistant director to give the excuse that he had gone to another production team to work. He avoided being fired because he was drunk. In the end, he was only fined two months of salary. To get close to Xie Wen by any means, in order to increase their relationship, he used the foods incompatibility in the production team, causing Xie Wen to have food poisoning. Chi Xu took care of her for a few days and confirmed their relationship. During the process of knowing each other, Chi Xu compiled the tragic experiences and unfair treatment he had experienced and lured Xie Wen into a trap. He controlled Xie Wen in a pitiful manner and exercised mental control. During their relationship, Chi Xu even controlled Xie Wens behavior mentally many times. Once Xie Wen showed signs of resistance, he would hurt himself and punish himself. He would use extreme behavior to force Xie Wen to be unable to leave him because of guilt. After Xie Wen got pregnant, she wanted to keep her career, but she was forced by Chi Xu as he committed suicide and cut his wrist. In the end, Xie Wen was forced to leave the industry and have a child. After marriage, he allowed his mother to order Xie Wen around unconditionally and even treated her as the Chi familys free nanny. Once Xie Wen had the thought of leaving, Chi Xu would use the mental control of moral kidnapping to force her to stay. Chapter 112 - 112 Xie Wen is Heartless, Chi Xu Will Face Prison Sentence 112 Xie Wen is Heartless, Chi Xu Will Face Prison Sentence Xie Shaohua forcefully suppressed his emotions and revealed Chi Xus actions to the public. At this moment, as Xie Shaohua finished speaking, the entire ward was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Luo Ying had already seen the evidence once. However, when she heard Old Xie say the crimes that Chi Xu had hurt her daughter in front of everyone, she could not help but cry. The cameraman and the other staff were even more shocked by this truth and speechless. The cameraman carrying the live camera almost lost his grip on the camera. The netizens in the live-stream was in an uproar [Damn! How scary. I really dont know what to say] [I thought he would cheat at most, but I didnt expect it to be fatal! Damn my worldview!] [Help! This is actually a pick-up-artist man!!] [I remember now. Sister Li had already hinted to everyone on the variety show. At that time, everyone thought that she was being nosy.] [That day, Sister Li said that she would take Xie Wen to dye her hair.] [Chi Xu likes Xie Wens black hair and doesnt want it tied up. Sister Li was already hinting to everyone at that time, but no one understood and even thought that she was being nosy!!] [I was prepared to scold the scumbag, but in the end, even the scumbag had to call him godfather!] [Damn, I finally understand why Xie Wens father knelt down to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu saved Xie Wens life!] [She cant escape. She cant even resist. The gentle knife stabbed her again and again. If this continues for a long time, Xie Wen will definitely break down to the point of suicide. This time, Li Xiwu really saved Xie Wens life!] [Li Xiwu is the only one working hard to save Xie Wen, but no one saw it. They even attacked Li Xiwu.] [Im going to kneel down to Li Xiwu, let alone Xie Wens father!] What Chi Xu did almost shocked everyone. But at this point, Chi Xu was still struggling. Those arent things Ive done. If you have to force them on me, I can only call the police. Youre slandering me. Xie Shaohuas eyes were red. Call the police, right? Very good, Ive already called the police for you! The police will be here soon. Its premeditated murder. Just you wait! Zheng Yuehuas eyes were also red, but they were red from anxiety. What nonsense are you talking about? How could my son do this! If you slander my son again, Ill sue you for slander! Luo Ying choked on a laugh. Zheng Yuehua, wheres your shame? To Zheng Yuehua, these words were equivalent to scolding her for being shameless. Youre the shameless one. Let me tell you, if you continue to slander my son like this, we wont She didnt get the last word out asLuo Ying raised her phone. A video was playing on the phone. Luo Ying connected to the television in the ward and placed the video on it. There was no face. It was just a conversation. My sister-in-law used to be a high and mighty person. No one could woo her, but my brother wooed her and even disciplined her. I just hope that I can be as good as my brother. When I become an adult and fall in love, Ill be the one in control. My brother is very powerful, so I admire him very much. Theres nothing he cant control, so I have to learn from him. When my mother ordered my sister-in-law around, my brother wouldnt stop her. He just wanted to wear down her arrogance and drive and make her willingly take care of this family. In other matters, when Sister-in-law is wronged, my brother will also coax her well. Is this considered a sweet date after a slap? Actually, its still my brother whos charming. Sister-in-law is head over heels for my brother. I feel that my sister-in-law cant leave my brother at all. Yes, Im that sure. Besides, they already have a child, so its even more impossible for my sister-in-law to leave my brother. [F*ck, no one in the Chi family is normal.] [This is the first time Ive seen a real example of the son being as bad as the mother.] [Could this car accident have been directed and acted by Chi Xu? He knew that Sister Li was investigating him, so he wanted to use this method to force Li Xiwu out of the variety show.] [Damn, its terrifying to think about.] [Everyone, go take a look. The police have released the results. Chi Xus car accident was caused by him.] [Amazing. This man is too scary. Hes so psychotic that theres no cure for him.] [Ahhh, we misunderstood Sister Li.] [Chi Xu is too scary.] Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn it off! Chi Xu suddenly roared crazily. He even tried to get up. The neck brace on his neck prevented him from getting up. He could only roar with red eyes! Zheng Yuehuas face turned green as she hurriedly turned off the television. She fumbled with the button behind the television and had to go back and forth several times before she could figure it out. By then, the video had already been played. Even if she turned off the video, it would be meaningless. Luo Ying put away her phone and looked at the guilty Zheng Yuehua. Is there anything else to say? Wenwen At this moment, Chi Xu called out to Xie Wen sadly. Xie Wen was stunned. Ever since the truth was exposed, she had been a bystander. The grievances she had experienced and the treatment she had suffered had all been exposed. She knew that this was not evidence gathered by her parents, but Miss Li was doing her best to pull her back. Do you want to be famous again, Xie Wen? If you want to become famous, show your former high spirits. Ill give you an idea, you should be bold enough to do it. If you do it well, Ill be the first to be happy for you. If you dont do it well, Ill be the first to take responsibility for you. Only Miss Li would always think for her. Afraid that her daughter would soften, Luo Ying gripped her daughters hand tightly. Wenwen, look at the reality. This man has hurt you badly. Chi Xu called out again, Wenwen, you know that I love you. I love you very much Xie Shaohua roared, Shut up! At this moment, everyone looked at Xie Wen. They waited for Xie Wen to express her stance. As long as Xie Wen admitted it, these charges were set in stone. Li Xiwu stood at the door and quietly watched Xie Wens delicate back. She wanted to go forward and remind Xie Wen to stay awake and not fall into Chi Xus trap again, but she held back. She had helped her thousands of times. For the last time, let Xie Wen make her own choice. [Im so anxious. Xie Wen, dont be soft-hearted for the scumbag anymore.] [Wenwen, work harder. Sister Li has taken 99 steps for you. All you need to do now is take one step!] [Chi Xus family is really scary. Theres something wrong with the entire family.] [This time, Im standing in front of Chi Xus grave.] [Deliberate approach is actually a disguised intentional murder.] [If anything goes wrong during the siphon, Xie Wen might be gone. There will be a sentence.] [Xie Wen, dont disappoint Sister Li. Boohoo, when I think about how I misunderstood Sister Li these past few days, I feel so guilty.] [Its best if the entire Internet apologizes to Li Xiwu!] At this moment, Xie Wen broke free from Luo Yings hand and took the initiative to walk towards Chi Xu. Luo Yings eyes were red. Wenwen Xie Shaohua endured until his cheeks trembled. Wenwen The cameraman even wanted to stop her. Sister, this is a scumbag who wants your life! Wake up and think twice! Only Li Xiwu stood there motionless and watched quietly. When Chi Xu saw Xie Wen walking towards him, his eyes lit up again. He reached out to her. Wenwen, I knew it Before he could finish speaking, Xie Wen picked up another glass of water from the cabinet and slowly poured it on Chi Xu. It was poured, not splashed. Splash represented anger. Pouring meant that she was calm and awake at this moment. Xie Wen said word by word, Chi Xu, my biggest nightmare in my life is meeting you. After all, were husband and wife. Ill personally send you to prison. Chapter 113 - 113 Live Trial Online! 113 Live Trial Online! All the evidence accusing Chi Xu of his actions was written clearly in black and white. His sins had reached an innumerable level. Xie Wens actions and attitude made everyone who was worried about her heave a sigh of relief [I was about to say that if Xie Wens heart softens again, Ill drive a forklift to kill you! Boohoo, fortunately, Xie Wen didnt disappoint us.] [Thats great. Xie Wen didnt let Sister Li down.] [A pick-up-artist master has to call Chi Xu Dad!] [I, who was originally lying on the bed, was so frightened that I quickly got up to study. I have to study to death to guard against meeting a man like Chi Xu in the future!] [F*ck! Everyone, look! The police are here!] [Chi Xu is still in the hospital. He shouldnt be able to enter the police station now, right?] [Although he will most likely be treated on bail, its enough as long as the charges are confirmed!] [Hes definitely going to jail! Dont worry, everyone! Chi Xu is about to go in and step on the sewing machine!] [Live broadcast! Investigating a case live!] At this moment, six police officers walked in. In addition to the six police officers who had come in, there were two more standing outside the door. They were wearing police uniforms. Their faces were expressionless, but they were majestic. Xie Shaohua pulled Luo Ying to the side and made way for the police. The cameraman and the other stagehands also consciously make way. When Zheng Yuehua saw that the police were here again, but this time, they were here to arrest her son, her eyes turned red with anxiety. Police! Police! My son is innocent. These people are talking nonsense. The police officer in the lead showed his identification expressionlessly. Interfering with the polices work constitutes an obstruction of official business. You have to bear criminal responsibility. Zheng Yuehua was shocked by the polices words! However, for the sake of her son, she stood in front of him. They joined forces to slander my son. My son has always been careful and kind. How could he want to kill someone? He just likes Xie Wen too much and used the wrong method. I guarantee it with my conscience! The cop said, No need for your conscience. The law will judge for itself. Zheng Yuehua wanted to stop him again, but two police officers stepped forward and pulled her away. Xie Wen took half a step back to make room for the police. At this moment, the police walked to the bed and looked down at Chi Xu. Chi Xu, we received a report that you were involved in the attempted murder of the female lead of Glory of the World, Xie Wen. Chi Xu closed his eyes and said nothing. The officer showed another important certificationa warrant of arrest. You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say to any police may be used as evidence against you in court. With that, the officer raised his hand to signal another officer to begin the interrogation. If Chi Xu had not been hospitalized, he would have been taken away by the police. All the procedures would have been carried out at the police station. Because it was inconvenient for Chi Xu to move, they interrogated him on the spot, but the process was the same. [This is the first time Ive seen a live interrogation in my life!] [A live interrogation is illegal, but the police didnt ask. Thats legal, fam! You can watch the entire interrogation process!] [I dont know if everyone is the same, but Im already too excited to go to work!] [My blood was boiling from watching too. I wasnt in the mood to go to work at all. But Im afraid that my boss would deduct my salary, in the end, I realized that my boss was also watching the live broadcast!] [Chi Xu is not only being interrogated by the police, but also the entire Internet!] [Mother-in-Law Joys second season is popular. They really did a good deed this time! Its too comfortable. The entire Internet is broadcasting Chi Xus crimes!] Luo Ying and Xie Shaohua brought Xie Wen out of the ward. Luo Ying kept holding Xie Wens hand, afraid that she would be unstable. Although her daughter had already made the right choice, after this incident, it was still an unerasable mark in her daughters heart. Xie Wen walked silently beside Luo Ying. But if one looked closely at her expression, she looked more relaxed than she had in the past two years. Xie Wen. Xie Wen looked up and followed the voice. When she saw Li Xiwu standing not far away and looking at her with a smile, Xie Wen was stunned. The next second, she pulled her hand out of Luo Yings and walked towards Li Xiwu. The distance was no more than six or seven meters. Xie Wen walked very quickly. The last two steps were used as a run. She reached Li Xiwu and stretched out her hands to hug her. Li Xiwu stood still and let Xie Wen hug her. The atmosphere at this moment was more relaxed than ever. A moment later Li Xiwu said, Congratulations on your rebirth. Xie Wen withdrew from Li Xiwus arms and looked at her with clear eyes. I didnt disappoint you this time. Li Xiwu encouraged her. You did a great job. Xie Wens clear eyes were instantly filled with tears. Miss Li, thank you. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Were already so familiar with each other. Why are you thanking me? Xie Wen smiled through her tears. Youve fought for me so many times, and Ive never let you down. And this time, theres a very strong belief in my heart that I must not let you down. I must not. In the end I did it. I didnt let you down. I grabbed your hand tightly and crawled out. Li Xiwu smiled knowingly. She raised her hand and wiped the tears off Xie Wens face. Next, you have to live well and work hard. After this matter is exposed, you dont have to worry about your career. Youre so popular now. You have plenty of capital to make you famous. If you cant make up your mind, ask me. Xie Wen asked, Miss Li, can I still be your artist? Li Xiwu shook her head. No. Xie Wen suddenly looked disappointed. Li Xiwu said, Its not that I dont want you, but President Qi signed a resource artist to me. All the good resources will be invested in that person. If you come back to me, I dont have any better resources to support you. People with backgrounds would appear from nowhere. Although Xue Jinzhu had already signed in with her, she had basically never cared about Xue Jinzhu at the moment. The advantage of being a resource person was that there was no need for her manager to think of ways to fight for resources. The resources above would be directly arranged for Xue Jinzhu. Speaking of which, she was just using the name of Xue Jinzhus manager. Hearing Li Xiwu specially explain the reason, Xie Wen looked grateful. Im not disappointed, just regretful, but I know very well that Miss Li has already done a lot. Ill walk the rest of the road myself. Li Xiwu smiled. Of course its best to think that way. Wenwen, you have a promising future. Xie Wen was still a little worried. But Shenshen Li Xiwu pursed her lips. You dont have to worry about Shenshens custody at all. In Chi Xus current situation, the court wont give Shenshen to him. Chapter 114 - 114 Shes Here, Appeared in Mother 114 Shes Here, Appeared in Mother-in-Law Variety The live broadcasts online popularity had already exceeded ten million. This time, it could be said to be the highest popularity since Mother-in-Law Joys live broadcast. Next, Xie Wens parents were going back to Fu Town with Xie Wen to pick up Shenshen and solemnly announce their withdrawal from Mother-in-Law Joys variety show. Not only was this matter too influential, but the relationship between the Chi family and the Xie family had also fallen out. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were no longer mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. There was no point in continuing to stay on this variety show. When she came out of the hospital, the entertainment reporters were still outside. However, with the bodyguards stopping them, it would definitely be the same as when she first came to the hospital. Li Xiwu sent Xie Wen to the car and sent a bodyguard outside the hospital. You drive them to Fu Town safely. The bodyguard took the car keys and was about to get into the car. At this moment, Xie Shaohua said, Ill drive. Li Xiwu looked at Xie Shaohua. Uncle, I know youve been driving for many years, but todays matter will more or less affect your mood. For safetys sake, let him drive. This way, you can talk to Xie Wen properly. Li Xiwu paused. She saw the gratitude in Xie Shaohuas eyes. Before Xie Shaohua could thank her, Li Xiwu pushed him. Uncle, get in the car first. The entertainment reporters are taking photos. Xie Shaohua wiped his reddened eyes. Miss Li, I really dont know how else to thank you. Youre being too polite. After all, Xie Wen and I are very good friends. Li Xiwu smiled sincerely. Xie Shaohua nodded. Okay, okay. At this moment, Luo Ying suddenly asked, Miss Li, are you going back to Fu Town? Li Xiwu looked up at Luo Ying. Yes, but I still have something to do. Go to Fu Town first. Luo Ying said, I know Miss Li is giving our family of three some space to interact. Thank you. Luo Ying wasnt the only one who guessed. Xie Shaohua could also guess the reason why Li Xiwu did not return to Fu Town with them. To be honest, none of the young people Xie Shaohua had interacted with had made him admire them as much as Li Xiwu. He didnt think at all when he knelt down today. He felt from the bottom of his heart that Li Xiwu was worthy of his kneel! Their family of three was reunited today. It was all thanks to Li Xiwu. Since the matter had blown up, there were indeed many things to say. Since Li Xiwu was sincere, Xie Shaohua naturally had to appreciate it. In the end, he handed the car keys to the bodyguard. She watched the car leave. Li Xiwu looked away. As soon as she turned, she heard someone call her Miss Li! Li Xiwu looked over and saw that it was Chen Xin. She was not too surprised and only asked in a normal tone, Assistant Chen, why are you here? Chen Xin strode up to Li Xiwu in a suit and leather shoes. Mr. Pei has already arranged it. He sent me here to send you to Fu Town. Li Xiwu nodded. Sorry to trouble you. Chen Xin couldnt bear to hear this and quickly said, Its no trouble. Its only right. They got into the car, one after the other. The black car drove steadily down the wide avenue. At this moment, Li Xiwus phone vibrated. It was a call from Qiao Qiao. Li Xiwu put on her Bluetooth headset and pressed answer. Qiao Qiaos voice was very loud. Today was really a reversal of public opinion! Reversal and reversal! It was extremely satisfying to watch! Li Xiwu lowered her voice. Is the trending search still on? Qiao Qiaos tone was filled with pride. Of course. How long has it been? Chi Xu is still being interrogated in the hospital. The live broadcast is still on, and the number of online viewers has exceeded ten million. And let me tell you, not only will it hang on the searches, but with its current popularity, it can at least hang until midnight today. Most importantly, after this incident, you have gained a lot of female fans. Those female fans dream of having a friend like you. When I saw these comments, I wont hide it from you, I was really secretly happy. Everyone couldnt get a friend like you, but I could sleep with you. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. Yes, our Qiaoer is lucky. Qiao Qiao snorted. Of course. You have to know that other than President Pei, Im the only other person who can hug you to sleep. Im just keeping a low profile. If I become high-profile, those netizens will be so envious that their teeth will ache. Li Xiwu was amused by Qiao Qiao. She knew that after settling Xie Wens matter, it would probably cause some heated discussion online, but she did not expect it to cause such a huge commotion. Qiao Qiao continued, Your name is now firmly at the top of the trending searches. The entire Internet is discussing you. What are they discussing? Li Xiwu asked casually. Qiao Qiao couldnt suppress her excitement. What else can they discuss about you? When Xie Wens father knelt for you, the entire Internet wants to kneel for you now! Li Xiwu: The more Qiao Qiao spoke, the more excited she became. Those people who scolded you at the beginning today all ended up slapping their faces. Youre too popular now. Youre even more popular than an A-list celebrity! Hearing Qiao Qiaos tone, which was getting harder and harder to control, Li Xiwu believed that Qiao Qiao was not exaggerating. Qiao Qiao realized that she was talking so excitedly that her throat was almost smoking. She was really afraid that her voice would break, so she restrained herself a little. I feel that its not satisfying to talk on the phone. Lets talk tonight. Ill pick you up in Fu Town later? Is there anything you want to eat? Ill buy it early and arrange it! Hearing this, Li Xiwu hesitated. Qiao Qiao didnt hear Li Xiwus voice and guessed correctly. Back to Lake Lu tonight? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. One has to have good integrity. I agreed Qiao Qiao understood immediately. Alright then. No matter how much I miss you, I wont dare to snatch you from President Pei. Anyway, you still have a whole day tomorrow. Li Xiwu smiled. You. She ended her call with Qiao Qiao. Li Xiwu put away her phone and looked out the window. She had passed this road back and forth countless times. She had already memorized it. At this moment, Chen Xin, who saw that she had finished the call, suddenly shouted, Miss Li. Li Xiwu looked up. Yes? As Chen Xin drove, he said, After Xie Wen quits the variety show, the program will lack a group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Li Xiwu nodded. I just found out about that. The director should have countermeasures and arrangements. Its not something I have to worry about. Chen Xin added, Xue Jinzhu will appear on the third episode of the Mother-in-Law Joy. Li Xiwu was suddenly stunned. Xue Jinzhu participating in Mother-in-Law Joy? Li Xiwu stared into space for a moment, just three or five seconds, then asked, A fake combination of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Chen Xin noticed the change in Li Xiwus expression in the rearview mirror and said in a low voice, Yes, because Xue Jinzhu is unmarried, she can only form a pair with another person. She will go on a variety show with her future mother-in-law in the way of a relationship. At the end of the show, she will announce the breakup and officially enter the entertainment industry. Chapter 115 - 115 Turning the Tide Back, Returning to the Peak 115 Turning the Tide Back, Returning to the Peak This arrangement was very appropriate. Newbies could not stand out when filming. Taking such a path was definitely the wisest. Li Xiwu said, Opening up your popularity on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show. At the end, she will break up and establish her single persona. Accepting dramas and advertisements to enter the production team. A new star in the entertainment industry has lit up just like that. This development line is not bad. Chen Xin could hear the coldness in Li Xiwus tone. Miss Li, do you not like this arrangement? Li Xiwu raised her lips. No. After a few seconds, she said, This arrangement is very good. As long as nothing goes wrong, Xue Jinzhus future is promising. Chen Xin took a deep breath. I hope so. Hope? Even Chen Xin was so concerned! Thats true. If Pei Jingzhou took a fancy to someone, Chen Xin would definitely have to do it himself. Only by grasping the bosss thoughts could he stay by his bosss side for a long time. But at this moment, she looked calm and had mixed feelings. Or rather, it should be described as: unreasonable frustration! She tried to adjust her complicated and irritable mood, then suddenly realized: Why do I have to adjust? I thought I didnt care anymore! The car arrived at Fu Town. Li Xiwu got out of the car and saw Han Qianye walking towards her. She braked abruptly in front of her, her posture dignified, her tone steady. Youre back. Li Xiwu nodded. Yes, Xie Wens parents and Xie Wen are back, right? Han Qianye said, Theyre back. Theyre in the inn. With that, she glanced sideways at Chen Xin, who was standing not far behind Li Xiwu. Han Qianye adjusted her dignified posture. Did you send Xixi back? Chen Xin was stunned for a few seconds before he realized who Han Qianye was talking about. It was Miss Li! They had only been together for a few days, but they were already so intimate. It seemed that Mr. Pei was too worried this time. Chen Xin went forward calmly. Mr. Pei arranged for me to wait for Miss Li outside the hospital before sending her back to Fu Town. Han Qianye raised her hand to touch her hair. Alright, Xixi was safely sent here. Go back and report. Chen Xin nodded and did not forget to praise her before he left. Madam, your new hairstyle is not bad. Han Qianye smiled. Good taste. After Chen Xin left, Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu impatiently and asked, What do you think of my new hairstyle? Li Xiwu commented seriously, The curly hairstyle is very picky. When you change to this hairstyle, it will look a little abrupt at first glance, but its very good-looking. Its probably because this hair color makes you look younger. Han Qianye grinned. Xixi, youre so serious in your compliment. Li Xiwu said, Its not a compliment. Im telling the truth. Not to mention Han Qianye, anyone would be confused by these words. She was too good at praising. On the way in, Han Qianye said as she walked, When you were in the hospital, I heard from the director that a group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will participate in the third episode. Li Xiwu nodded. I just heard about this. Han Qianye sighed. I hope this third group can finish recording the variety show safely. Dont let anything like Xie Wen happen again. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and did not reply. At the mention of Xie Wen, Han Qianyes tone became a sigh. Weve all watched the hospitals live broadcast. Xie Wen is really pitiful. Fortunately, I have you. A rainbow appears in the wind and rain. The popularity of this afternoons live broadcast was in Group Threes live broadcast. The live broadcast of the three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Fu Town was not popular either. In addition, everyone was too curious, so they all took out their phones to watch Group Threes live broadcast. The process stunned Han Qianye and the others. Min Hanrong was terrified. Tao Jings face was pale. Xu Muzhen broke out in a cold sweat. Xiang Lan sighed. Han Qianyes expression was indescribable. It was probably: (Subway. Old Man. Phone.) JPG. Gao Yueban was too immersive. He threw his phone on the spot and scolded, F*ck! Damn scum! Yu Jing said, Hell is empty. The devil is in the human world. They had seen many scumbags. The crime of abandoning his wife and son was unforgivable, and cheating was even more unforgivable. Chi Xus situation did not seem so serious at first glance, but in fact, it was like a slow poison that took Xie Wens life bit by bit. It was simply terrifying. C At this moment in the inn. Group One and Group Two were both sitting in the same direction. Luo Ying was sitting on the other side with Little Shenshen in her arms. Xie Shaohua was playing with his little granddaughter lovingly while Xie Wen stood at the side and watched. As soon as Li Xiwu and Han Qianye entered, everyone looked at the door. At the same time, Li Xiwu returned to the live broadcast. Min Hanrong spoke first with a smile. Xiwu is back. Although she had connoted Han Qianye this morning, Min Hanrong had always cared about her reputation. She smiled very kindly when she greeted her. Xu Muzhen waved her hand. Sister Li, come and sit. Li Xiwu smiled and walked over to sit down. Han Qianye sat beside Li Xiwu and silently pushed a cup of brewed Zhengshan tea in front of Li Xiwu. Li Xiwus heart warmed. Thank you. When Han Qianye heard Li Xiwu thank her, she was not too happy. It was so polite to say thank you. Xu Muzhen said, Sister Li, we all know what you did for Xie Wen. Youre really brave. I admire you too much. Tao Jing sighed. Who would have thought that Chi Xu was actually such a person? He disguised himself too well. If you hadnt gone all out, Xiwu, Wenwens future would be unimaginable. Xie Wen was already very calm. When she heard them say this, she would smile and say a word or two. Min Hanrong asked with concern. Xiang Lan was the calmest and listened to everyones conversation carefully. At this moment, Xie Shaohua stood up. Now that everyone is here, Ill officially tell everyone something. Everyone looked at Xie Shaohua. Actually, they all knew what Xie Shaohua was going to say next, but at this moment, everyone still felt an indescribable sadness and heartache. Xie Shaohua looked at Xie Wen first, then at his granddaughter in Luo Yings arms. Then, he said solemnly, Wenwen and Chi Xu still have a divorce procedure to go through. Its more cumbersome. After much discussion, our family has decided that Wenwen will leave Mother-in-Law Joy. Here, on Wenwens behalf, I thank everyone for taking care of her these few days. [Boohoo, its really too good to cry.] [Theres finally a moment to part!] [Although I already guessed that Xie Wen would leave Mother-in-Law Joy, I still cant bear to witness this moment.] [I cant bear to, but I respect and support her. Xie Wens current state needs to be adjusted. The divorce procedure isnt that fast. Zheng Yuehua will definitely cause trouble for another two days. There are many things to face next, but fortunately, Xie Wens parents will always be by her side.] [From the beginning, the DNA moved. Ive been looking forward to Sister Li and Xie Wen being in the same frame. This is probably the most perfect frame.] [Xie Wen, you must return to glamour. Many people who love you are waiting for you to turn the tables and return to your peak.] [For some reason, I just believe that Xie Wen will really return to her peak!] Chapter 116 - 116 To Be Honest, I Like People Like You 116 To Be Honest, I Like People Like You Half of the live broadcasts popularity had returned to the inns live-stream. The moment Xie Wens father announced that Xie Wen was withdrawing from Mother-in-Law Joy, the atmosphere was really sad. However, everyone was wishing Xie Wen well, and the comments were all blessings. Finally, Xie Wen faced the camera and bowed deeply. Then she smiled and waved. Please give me time. [Wenwens future is bright!] [I look forward to Xie Wens stunning return.] [I hope that on this day next year, Xie Wen can stand on the podium again and say proudly: Im back.] [This is not a goodbye. This is just a temporary farewell.] When Xie Wen left, she hugged Li Xiwu. Miss Li, farewell. Li Xiwu said, Ill see you again. Xie Wen nodded. Under everyones gazes, Xie Wen left the inn with her parents and daughter. The scene of her leaving was recorded and posted online. She added another trending topic to Weibo. #Xie Wen announced her withdrawal#. It was eye-catching. The netizens who had been watching the show for the entire day immediately clicked on the relevant topic [Someone had already predicted it in advance. As expected, Xie Wen really left Mother-in-Law Joy.] [Im in the live-stream. Im really in tears when I see this scene.] [Its really a rare big commotion today. The entire Weibo account almost fell.] [Ive never admired anyone in my life. Li Xiwu is definitely the first.] [I dream of a friend like Li Xiwu, always the clearest and most rational. No matter how big the fire in the pit, she wont hesitate to reach out and help her friend.] [Good news, good news! Those marketing accounts that slandered Li Xiwu and spread rumors about her have all been sued! Moreover, a very famous legal team has appeared to send a lawyers letter.] [What, sued? Then I raise my hands and feet for support.] [They have to apologize to Li Xiwu publicly! Otherwise, she had to sue them to the end!] The online discussion kept rising. Fortunately, everything ended perfectly. However, because too many things had happened today, the online viewing during the day had been breaking through a new high. Therefore, Gao Yueban decided to end the live broadcast at five. After the live broadcast camera closed, Gao Yueban informed everyone solemnly, Its like this. Xie Wen has already left Mother-in-law Joy, so theres one less group of participants. Currently, the higher-ups are already arranging it. Therefore, in the third episode, there will be a new group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Min Hanrong pouted. Didnt Director Gao already say this during the day? Gao Yueban smiled tactfully. I heard from the organizers during the day. I wasnt sure at that time, but its confirmed now that a new mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be participating. Xu Muzhen was looking forward to it. Four groups are still more lively together. Xiang Lan nodded. Then I can only look forward to our meeting in the third episode. Gao Yueban clapped his hands. Yes, lets look forward to it together. After giving his instructions, they went back upstairs to pack up and prepare to go home. When they left Fu Town, Li Xiwu and Han Qianye were in the same car. The atmosphere in the car was too quiet. Han Qianye had figured out Li Xiwus personality. In any case, she would not talk to her unless she took the initiative. After a long while, Han Qianye asked, Do you know who the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the third episode are? Li Xiwu was looking at her phone when she heard Han Qianyes question. She looked up at her. Han Qianye pursed her lips. Is she also a female celebrity this time? Li Xiwu said truthfully, Shes a future female celebrity. She might also be your future daughter-in-law. The smile on Han Qianyes lips froze. What??? Future daughter-in-law?? What the hell??? Several question marks appeared in Han Qianyes mind. She asked in confusion, What do you mean future daughter-in-law? Li Xiwu was serious and her tone was steady. Shes beautiful and has the most disciplined figure Ive ever seen. Her personality is more extroverted. I think youll like her. Han Qianyes chest heaved as she clearly expressed, Who told you that I like extroverts? Before Li Xiwu could answer, Han Qianye asked, Pretty? Can she be as pretty as you? Can a good figure compare to your figure? Why are you so sure that Ill like her? To tell you the truth, I like your type, the type that would ignore me. Li Xiwu: She suppressed a smile. You havent seen her yet. How can you be sure you dont like her? Han Qianye suddenly realized something. So, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are actually a combination? Li Xiwu said, Yeah. Han Qianye glanced to the side. Lets not chat anymore. I dont like to hear you say this. Just as she was about to stop chatting, Han Qianye turned her face around again. Shall we go to the Pei residence for dinner tonight? Li Xiwu declined politely. Fourth Brother asked me to return to Lake Lu. Han Qianye was disappointed. Then come over for dinner tomorrow? Li Xiwu did not refuse again, mainly because it was not good to keep rejecting. Anyway, she will talk about tomorrows matters tomorrow. This time, the driver sent Li Xiwu back to Lake Lu before sending Han Qianye back to the Pei residence. She thought Pei Jingzhou was back. In the end, the house was dark and there was no sign of Pei Jingzhou. She picked up her phone and swiped to Pei Jingzhous number. Just as she was about to call him, she suddenly hesitated. She had said that she was coming back, but he wasnt back now. Did he have a date? Would she ruin his mood by calling? Li Xiwu put the phone down. Then she went to the bathroom to wash up. Half an hour later, she came out and picked up her phone to see two missed calls. It was all from Chen Xin. Li Xiwu called back. Chen Xin, whats the matter? On the other end of the line was Chen Xins voice. Miss Li, have you left Fu Town? Li Xiwu nodded. I just got home. Chen Xin was surprised. Youre already home? Li Xiwu was puzzled. Whats wrong? Chen Xin did not hide anything. Did you tell Secretary Wang today that youre going to pick President Pei up from work personally in the afternoon? President Pei ended work at four and has been waiting for you in the office. If he doesnt leave, we wont dare to get off work. Li Xiwu was stunned. She did remember to tell Secretary Wang to remind Pei Jingzhou to rest at four. After all, he was injured and needed a good rest. However, she forgot that she seemed to have casually replied that she was going to the company to pick up Pei Jingzhou! Li Xiwu, who had not felt guilty for a long time, felt guilty for no reason. She was silent for a moment. Isis he really still waiting for me in the office? Chen Xin, who wanted to get off work, expressed his desire. Absolutely. Not only did he wait, but he also waited for hours. Li Xiwu: She turned to the cloakroom, saying as she went, Dont say Im back at Lake Lu. Just say Im on my way over. Ill be there soon. She hung up. Li Xiwu sighed. She had casually said it back then, but Pei Jingzhou actually took it seriously. Forget it. Shell pick him up and go home first! Chapter 117 - 117 Fourth Brother Is Angry, Have To Coax 117 Fourth Brother Is Angry, Have To Coax Li Xiwus hair was still wet when she went out. A few minutes later, the car arrived at the Pei Corporation. Chen Xin saw Li Xiwus car and walked towards her. Miss Li! Li Xiwu closed the car door and looked up at Chen Xin. Is he still in the office? Chen Xin was completely relieved to see Li Xiwu. Yes, Mr. Pei hasnt left. Noticing that Li Xiwus hair was half wet and dry, Chen Xin said worriedly, Miss Li, your hair? Li Xiwu brushed her hair behind her back and lied expressionlessly. The hair dryer is broken. Chen Xin: Alright, he would not expose her. At this time, most of the Pei Corporations employees had already gotten off work. Other than the people from the presidents office. As they did not dare to leave. After all, the big boss had yet to leave. When Wang Kaiheng saw Assistant Chen bring the lady boss up, he immediately stood up. Just as he was about to call for help, Li Xiwu said, Thank you for your hard work. You can get off work first. Wang Kaiheng did not dare to make a sound and silently glanced at Chen Xin. Are you leaving? Chen Xin pursed his lips. Why are you looking at me? Ill leave if you leave first! Wang Kaiheng swallowed. You should go first. Ill leave immediately once you do! Chen Xin: Why arent you leaving?! The two of them chatted with their eyes until they were almost arguing. As soon as Li Xiwu entered, Wang Kaiheng immediately walked to Chen Xins side. Assistant Chen, arent you going to meet the beauty tonight? Is it too late? Chen Xin glared at Wang Kaiheng. Please dont be so nosy. Wang Kaiheng said, Im not gossiping, but the lust on your face has been too obvious recently. Chen Xin raised his hand and straightened his collar, thinking, Did I? C Just like in the morning, Li Xiwu entered the office and did not see Pei Jingzhou. She walked to the door of the lounge and knocked lightly. Fourth Brother. She waited a few seconds, but there was no response. Li Xiwu opened the door and went in. As bright as the light outside was, the lounge was as dark. She reached for the light switch, but before she could touch the switch, she was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and was pulled. Li Xiwu was shocked. Even though she knew it was Pei Jingzhou, she was still shocked. In the blink of an eye, the door closed behind her. She was pressed against the back of the door by Pei Jingzhou. There was no expected pain. His arm was across her back shoulder blade. At close range, their breaths intertwined. Being pressed against him, she couldnt break free. She steadied her breathing and shouted, Fourth Brother, its me. Pei Jingzhous voice was magnetic. Youre only picking me up now? In the darkness, she couldnt see his face clearly. All she could see was the outline of his jaw. Ive been running around today. I went back first and washed up and changed my clothes before coming. Is that considered ritualistic? Pei Jingzhou let go of her. You just forgot. Youre making excuses. Li Xiwu choked. Alright, she was definitely making excuses. Why is your hair still wet? His fingertips touched the ends of her hair. Li Xiwu went with the flow. It meant that I cant wait to pick you up. Pei Jingzhou said, What a glib tongue. Li Xiwu: ? Pei Jingzhou turned around. But I like to hear it. Li Xiwu: She reached out to turn on the light. In front of her was Pei Jingzhous back. It looked a little like he was sulking?! At this moment, the sulking man went to the bathroom and came out with a hairdryer. Come and dry your hair. Li Xiwu raised her hand to touch the ends of her hair. It was half-wet and dry. Itll dry later. No need. Pei Jingzhou suddenly asked, What month is it now? Li Xiwu answered seriously. November. Pei Jingzhou said, You know its November. Li Xiwu: ? Pei Jingzhou said, Be good. Come and dry your hair. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. It was already winter in November in the capital. It was fine during the day. But at night, the cold wind would attack. She came out with her hair wet and was indeed not very responsible for her body. Walking over, she reached out to take the hairdryer. Ill do it myself. Itll be faster to blow it myself. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. You think Im slow? Li Xiwu: It was better not to reply easily, or the words would change their meaning. Perhaps because he had dried her hair a few times before, Pei Jingzhou was familiar with his actions and quickly helped Li Xiwu dry her hair. Li Xiwu went to the bathroom to tidy her hair. When she came out, she saw Pei Jingzhou standing in front of the French window, preparing to light a cigarette. As she walked over, he took it away. Li Xiwu stood beside him. I dont mind. Fourth Brother, you can smoke. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. Smoking is not good for your health. Li Xiwu: ? Pei Jingzhou said, Why arent you controlling me? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. He threw the cigarette on the table beside him and looked up at the lights outside the window quietly. He had no intention of going home. Li Xiwu asked calmly, Fourth Brother, arent you going home? Pei Jingzhou did not respond. Li Xiwu thought of the warmth and gentleness when he was drying her hair just now. She looked at his side profile and apologized seriously. I was indeed so busy today that I forgot. Dont be angry. It was not that she had lowered her attitude, but she had not done what she had said. Regardless of whether Pei Jingzhou was her husband or not, she should apologize solemnly. Pei Jingzhous cold voice became a little muffled. It means that you didnt take me seriously. Thats why you forgot when you were busy. Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Theres really a lot going on today. Dont you know that too? Pei Jingzhou: So this is the reason? Li Xiwu was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, she walked around Pei Jingzhou and stood in front of him. Are you going home? Her tone was straight up, not as gentle as before. When she did not hear Pei Jingzhous answer, Li Xiwu said, If you dont reply, Ill leave first. Pei Jingzhou was unmoved. Li Xiwu left immediately and turned to leave the lounge. She hadnt gone far when she heard the crisp sound of a cup hitting the floor in the lounge. Li Xiwu paused, closed her eyes hard, and exhaled. Finally, she returned to the lounge. Pei Jingzhou had just poured a glass of water. Seeing her return, he said coldly, My hand was inconvenient, so I accidentally broke a cup. She knew he was deliberately mentioning his inconvenient hand. She composed herself and walked over in a few steps. She wanted to be gentle, but she couldnt suppress her anger. Ill ask you again. Are you going back? Her tone was fierce. Pei Jingzhou was not the only one stunned. After Li Xiwu finished being fierce, she was stunned for a moment. However, her surprise did not show on her face, but in her heart. She thought that since she was already fierce, she could not change her style immediately. Otherwise, it would seem like she was joking. Pei Jingzhou, are you listening to me? Her tone remained unchanged and was slightly domineering. Pei Jingzhou was silent for two to three seconds before smiling. If you dont go home, my wife will attack me. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows slightly. They came out of the Pei Corporation building. Li Xiwu asked, Is Fourth Brother driving, or should I? Pei Jingzhou used his uninjured hand to close Li Xiwus collar to prevent the cold wind from entering. There was a meaningful smile on his lips. You drive now. Ill drive when we get back. Chapter 118 - 118 Life with Pei Jingzhou 118 Life with Pei Jingzhou It was undeniable that Pei Jingzhous actions just now warmed her heart. Especially on this cold winter day. But his words just now instantly suppressed all the warmth in Li Xiwus heart. She looked at him and said, The cow isnt tired yet, even though the field was damaged. Pei Jingzhou smiled. That makes sense. Li Xiwu slapped his hand away, opened the drivers door, and got in. The car drove down the wide avenue. When they stopped at the traffic light, Li Xiwu said, Auntie isnt here today. What does Fourth Brother want to eat for dinner? We can order takeout now. Itll be delivered when we get back. Pei Jingzhou asked instead of answering, What do you want to eat? Li Xiwu said, Ill order myself. Pei Jingzhou tilted his head. A family eating two different sets of meals? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Then lets order it together, Fourth Brother. She had never cooked at the house where she lived in Lake Lu. It had always been Pei Jingzhou who cooked. Today, Pei Jingzhous hand was injured, so she naturally had to call for takeout or go out to eat. She had planned to go out and eat before going home. Thinking that she had already washed up and had to wash up after eating outside, she might as well go home and eat. She thought it was settled. Unexpectedly, Pei Jingzhou suddenly suggested, How about going to your small courtyard? Li Xiwus hands clenched on the steering wheel. She didnt respond immediately. Pei Jingzhou looked at her tightened jaw. I havent been there for too long. I miss it a little. When Pei Jingzhou mentioned missing it, Li Xiwus expression changed slightly. She had saved up to buy the small courtyard. She had used almost all her savings for two years to buy it. The original intention of buying this small courtyard was to plan ahead. She thought that if she was chased out of the Pei family one day, she would have a place to stay. Because the small courtyard was well decorated and the environment and air were good, she would go there with Qiao Qiao for a short stay for two days whenever she was free. When she was in a good mood, she would make some delicacies for Qiao Qiao to film and post on her personal account. The first song that the account posted was called Altenis in A Minor. At that time, she composed it as she pleased. After posting it, she left the account and did not log in for a few days. After that, Qiao Qiao told her that Altenis was famous! But popularity was an accident. She thought that as time passed, those people would gradually forget this song. However, she did not expect that Altenis, like an evergreen tree, had always been very popular, so much so that she later posted a food video on that account. The netizens paid a lot of attention to her and kept sending her private messages, hoping that she would keep updating. She hid her IP address and promised the netizens that she would occasionally upload some cooking videos, but she would not create any more songs. At that time, she still thought that the memories of the Internet era were not long-lasting and the popularity had faded. Even if she posted a few more, no one might read them. But she ignored everyones love for Altenis and their love for Mother Dragon. Therefore, every subsequent food video became popular. She even became a celebrity on that short video. Although she had secretly bought the small courtyard, Pei Jingzhou found out the next day. She had no choice. It was impossible for Pei Jingzhou not to know that such a large sum of money had been transferred out and taken from her personal account. However, it had to be admitted that Pei Jingzhou was also involved in the renovation of the small courtyard. She liked to fiddle with it herself. Other than needing the renovation of the workers, she would do the rest of the renovation herself. Two days later, Pei Jingzhou happened to be free to come over, so he became her laborer and helped her move things. She was really touched at that time. She even felt that she and he were not married by agreement. They were just an ordinary couple. They lived their lives like other couples. They moved around for the entire afternoon and stayed at night. After dinner, they sat on a chair outside the small courtyard and watched the stars. As they watched, the chair slowly swayed Seeing that Li Xiwu did not answer for a long time, Pei Jingzhou said, Then forget it. Lets go back to Lake Lu. Li Xiwu reached out and adjusted the GPS. Theres a lot of food in the small courtyard. Its good to go over there. Itll save me some money for dinner. Pei Jingzhou smiled. My wife is still the diligent one. Li Xiwu ignored him. After more than twenty minutes of driving, the car arrived outside the small courtyard in the suburbs. Li Xiwu parked the car and got out. She heard Pei Jingzhou say, Its the same as the last time I came. Nothing has changed. Li Xiwu twirled the key between her fingers and walked forward. I have no time to renovate it now. Ill do it when I have time. Ten minutes before Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou arrived Pei Youan received a call from Han Qianye. I heard that you changed schools? Pei Youan deliberately looked at the time on his smartwatch. Mom, its already eight oclock. Its been a day and a night since I changed schools. Why are you only calling me now to ask if I changed schools? Han Qianye said, Sorry, I just found out about this. Pei Youan: Han Qianye asked, Why arent you home today? Pei Youan locked the doors and windows. I have a place to stay. Its beautiful here. Besides, I dont know when Ill be able to stay here again after going to the new school, so I plan to stay here for another night. Dont worry. Han Qianye asked, Where is it? Pei Youan remembered his sister-in-laws reminder. A friends place. Han Qianye did not pursue the matter and asked the main point of this call. Why did you suddenly change schools? Isnt the Fourth High School quite good? Pei Youan sighed. His mother was really clueless. Next, he summarized the situation and passed it on to his mother. Han Qianye was shocked. Really? Pei Youan looked like he had nothing to live for. Mom, this happened to your biological son. Why are you acting like a bystander? Han Qianye said leisurely, Oh, Im sorry. I cant express my emotions well. Do you want me to express my emotions again? Pei Youan looked even more hopeless than before. Forget it. It was fine just now. Han Qianye said in fear, Son, its all thanks to Xixi that you turned misfortune into good luck this time. Shes your benefactor. Pei Youan didnt react. Whos Xixi? Han Qianye said, Your sister-in-law. Oh, Pei Youan said. Mom, why are you calling Sister-in-law more affectionately than Brother does? Han Qianye said, None of your business. Pei Youan: Han Qianye said, Thinking about it, its not easy for you to live so long. Youre not even an adult yet, but dont be discouraged. Life has its ups and downs!! Pei Youan: ? Han Qianye said earnestly, Its good for your future growth to encounter some setbacks. Otherwise, you wont grow tall. Pei Youan: At this point, Han Qianye did not forget to praise, Our Xixi is indeed powerful. Shes smart and capable. Now, shes still a positive figure whos popular on the Internet. The entire Pei family will benefit from her Pei Youan couldnt help but interrupt. Mom, it seems that the outside world doesnt know that Sister-in-laws husbands family is the Pei family. Thats Sister-in-laws glory alone. Chapter 119 - 119 Pei Jingzhou: "Just A Kiss To Satisfy My Cravings First." 119 Pei Jingzhou: Just A Kiss To Satisfy My Cravings First. Han Qianye said fiercely, Do you think youre the only one with a mouth? Hurry up and sleep. Youre not allowed to stay up late to play games. Your sister is an example. She stayed up late to play games. Ive already cut off her pocket money. Pei Youan was shocked. Okay, okay, okay. Ill sleep immediately. He hung up, after confirming that the doors and windows were locked, Pei Youan returned to the bed. At the thought that Pei Jiaos pocket money had been cut off, Pei Youan felt very anxious. He could not live without pocket money. He still had to buy shoes. If he slept early and grew up, he would be even more handsome. So he began to hypnotize himself. Five minutes after self-hypnosis Dont pick it up. The poison is here. Lets go, lets go. His teammate kept honking. Pei Youan said calmly, Theres another first-aid kit. Ill be right there. Wait a minute. Ill change to another gun. His teammate was extremely anxious. Im really impressed. If you dont come out, Ill drive off first. Only then did Pei Youan come out calmly and jump into the car. When they reached a safe spot where the circle had shrunk, the teammate got out and said, Give me a first aid kit and two bottles of drinks. Ill fill up the potions first. Pei Youan cursed, Get lost, get lost. Why didnt you pick it up yourself? Teammate: Hey, the poison came. Pei Youan said, Why didnt it poison me? At first, his teammates ridiculed him shamelessly. In the end, they successfully obtained two first-aid kits and drinks from Pei Youan. After replenishing them, they asked, You said that youve changed to a new school. Are you used to it? Pei Youan adjusted his scope and replied to his teammate, Im not going until tomorrow. I dont know yet. As soon as he answered, he heard a movement outside. Pei Youan shuddered in fear and straightened his back. Damn, theres a ghost. His teammate laughed loudly. Be careful not to meet a sexy ghost and suck your Yang energy dry. Pei Youan, who was not that afraid a second ago, immediately felt his hair stand on end when he heard his teammates sarcastic remark. Why cant you say good things? Itll be on you if Im scared to death. His teammate chuckled. How could it be on me if youre scared to death? It should be on the sexy ghost. Pei Youan quickly turned off his teammates microphone. If his idiotic teammate continued to speak, he would not sleep tonight. Actually, he had been a little flustered when he lived here alone last night. After all, this was the suburbs of the capital. If a thief came, he could fight to the death. If a ghost came, he could only kneel! Pei Youan got out of bed and craned his neck to look out the window. It was pitch-black and he could not see anything. He only heard some strange sounds. At first, it seemed that something had hit the cabinet, then something fell to the ground. Pei Youan was afraid at first, but when he heard the sound of something falling to the ground, he immediately perked up! Damn! A big rat! There were so many snacks in Sister-in-laws cabinet. At this time, a big rat must have come out to commit a crime! If it was a ghost, he would kneel down! If it was a rat, then there was nothing to be afraid of. Hell beat it to death. Pei Youan was no longer in the mood to play games. No matter how much his teammates scolded him, he only wanted to protect his sister-in-laws snack cabinet. First of all, he could not turn on the lights immediately and scare them away. Secondly, he had to find a handy tool. In his dark vision, he touched around and touched his book of sample question papers. He was stunned for a moment, then he muttered to himself, Its been hard on you. Hunting rats is also a huge mission. At this moment, they were separated by a wall. Seeing that the door was not locked, Li Xiwu guessed that Youan had forgotten to lock it when he left. She was about to turn on the light with her phone when someone suddenly hugged her waist. Before she could react, she was spun around and pressed against the wall. It was so sudden that she lost her grip on the phone between the push and pull. It fell to the ground with a clatter. She almost stepped on it! Li Xiwu frowned and was about to say something when Pei Jingzhou stopped her. The kiss was urgent, and she could feel that he had been thinking about it for a long time. Li Xiwu tried to push him away. Now was not the time to think about that. Neither of them had eaten yet. Pei Jingzhou restrained her waist with one hand and made her unable to move. Just a kiss to satisfy my craving first. Li Xiwu: Could just kissing satisfy his craving? To be honest, she didnt believe it. The next second, an overwhelming kiss landed. Li Xiwu panicked. Before she could break free, the two of them kissed and moved. Li Xiwu clearly felt that it was not a wall behind her, but It was too dark to see clearly. She only felt the thing on the cabinet suddenly being waved off by Pei Jingzhou. Then, he wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her up slightly. She sat on the cabinet behind her. His injured hand didnt seem to affect his performance at all. He could still do what he needed to do. And it was precise. But at this moment, the originally dark vision suddenly lit up. Someone had turned on the lights! Li Xiwu knew very well that she and Pei Jingzhou were very far away from the pass. It was impossible for Pei Jingzhou to turn on the lights. Then who could it be? Big rat! Watch my book beat you to a .pulp! Pei Youan raised his book and immediately rushed over after turning on the lights. It was obvious that he wanted to slap all the rats to death! However, halfway through, he suddenly tripped and almost fell to the ground. Dead silence! The air froze like death! Pei Youan was still holding the book. In front of him, Pei Jingzhou adjusted Li Xiwus collar and slowly turned around. The two brothers looked at each other. Pei Youans mind was blank, and the way he raised his hand made him look stunned and at a loss. His face turned red to his ears, probably because of the inappropriate scene just now. If there was a crack in the ground right now, he would find a way to crawl into it and never come out again. Youan. It was Li Xiwu who broke the silence. She quickly tidied her clothes and hair and got down from the cabinet, maintaining her composure. Pei Youan did not dare to look at his brother and sister-in-law. He looked away unnaturally. Li Xiwu asked, Have you had dinner? Pei Youan stammered, Y-y-yes. Li Xiwu turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Ill cook two bowls of noodles. Pei Jingzhou pulled Li Xiwu back. Let him cook. Li Xiwu wanted to say that she could cook, but Pei Youan immediately raised the book. Ill go! Ill go! Seeing that his brother and sister-in-law were looking at him, Pei Youan retracted his hand. There are still a few months before the college entrance examination. I have to do two hours of questions every night before sleeping. Brother, I was really focused on doing the questions just now. I didnt hear anything else. Pei Jingzhou was furious. Pei Youan! Pei Youan was shocked. He turned around and walked out. I-I-I-I-Ill cook noodles for you immediately. Continue, continue. Ill definitely knock before coming in. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhou: Chapter 120 - 120 Want To See Li Xiwu And Confirm It Again! 120 Want To See Li Xiwu And Confirm It Again! Li Xiwu looked up at Pei Jingzhous calm face. For some reason, she found it a little funny. Youan didnt know we would come. Also, dont be so anxious next time. Pei Jingzhous expression was not good when he was interrupted. At this moment, Li Xiwu handed him a candy. Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the candy she handed him. Did you make it yourself? Li Xiwu nodded. Snowflake pastry. I made a lot last time. Pei Jingzhou took the snowflake pastry and saw that she was holding a sealed jar in her arms. There were only a few snowflake pastries left. Is this all there is? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. Yes. Pei Jingzhous face darkened. If we dont come, this bastard will empty this place. Li Xiwu said, Not to that extent. Actually, there are quite a few But theres not much left, Pei Jingzhou added. It was true, so Li Xiwu didnt argue. Pei Jingzhou peeled the candy wrapper and ate it. He turned around and returned to the front of the cabinet. When he opened the cabinet, he saw that the rows of sealed jars were not empty, but there were not many left. Pei Jingzhou said, You took in a Taotie. Li Xiwu walked over. Youan is growing. Pei Jingzhou closed the cabinet. He had only increased in size but not in IQ. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. He was really his biological brother. He was extremely sarcastic. They both sat down. Li Xiwu took out the peach blossom wine she had brewed previously and poured herself a glass without pouring it for Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou just looked at her. Li Xiwu explained, Fourth Brother is injured now. You have to abstain from alcohol. Pei Jingzhou asked, I cant even try it? Li Xiwu was silent for a moment before pouring Pei Jingzhou a little peach blossom wine. A light taste is fine. Pei Jingzhou took the cup and looked at the pitifully small amount of peach blossom wine inside. Youre more precise than a doctor. Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. Of course. Pei Jingzhou smelled it. It smells good. When did you brew it? Li Xiwu slowly savored it. At the beginning of the year. She took a video and posted it on Mother Dragons account. The Peach Blossom Wine was also trending at that time. Pei Jingzhou took a sip. Good brew. Anyone would be happy to be praised for the results. Li Xiwu said, Get better as soon as possible. You can drink to your hearts content then. Pei Jingzhous eyes darkened. It will get better soon. His gaze was like a hook as Li Xiwu looked away unnaturally. Thinking of his wound, she shifted her gaze to his injured arm. Is the wound okay? Pei Jingzhou said, Its not a big problem. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. You made me worry after being injured. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Its just my hand that was injured, not anywhere else. It wont affect me. He said it so casually. But the gauze on his hand was wrapped from his hand to his arm. It was obvious that the wound was very deep. She looked at him. You want to spill blood on the spot? Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and tucked the hair on her forehead behind her ear. His movements were natural and intimate. Not to that extent. I can control it well. Li Xiwu slapped his hand away. What else can you think except this? Pei Jingzhou said seriously, Im researching new tricks so that you wont get tired of it. Li Xiwu: She took a sip of the peach blossom wine and fell silent. The more they chatted, the more dirty it became. Coming, coming. The rice noodles are ready. Pei Youan walked in with a bowl of rice noodles. After putting it down, he quickly touched his earlobe. Wait, theres another bowl. Then he ran to the kitchen and brought the second bowl over. Brother, Sister-in-law, eat while its hot. Li Xiwu had prepared the rice noodles beforehand, and she had also mixed the ingredients bag herself. Pei Youan had already shown off five portions of rice noodles in the past two days. It couldnt be helped. It was really too delicious. If it werent for the fact that he was a little afraid of living alone, he really wanted to live here for the rest of his life. Pei Youan rubbed his hands and sat down. He rubbed his hands and realized that his brother was looking at him. Pei Youan paused. Brother, whats wrong? Pei Jingzhou praised, Your skills are not bad. Pei Youan raised his hand and scratched behind his ear in embarrassment. Its alright, its alright. I can barely make it. Anyway, I wont starve to death outside. Pei Jingzhou asked him, Have you eaten? Pei Youan smiled foolishly. Yes. Pei Jingzhous gaze was unfriendly. Why are you sitting here after eating? The smile on Pei Youans lips disappeared. He stood up consciously and did not forget to complain before he left. Brother, youre so dictatorial. Pei Jingzhou picked up his chopsticks and handed them to Li Xiwu. If I were a dictator, you would have been chased out by now. Pei Youan: After finding his book, Pei Youan went out and turned around to go next door. After taking a few steps, he turned around and leaned against the door frame. Brother, that Im going to do the papers. Pei Jingzhou picked up the spoon on the table and threw it at Pei Youan. Pei Youan reached out and caught it. He surprised himself. Im so impressive. Pei Youan returned with the spoon and placed it carefully on the table. Brother, I wanted to say be quiet. With that, he put down the spoon and Pei Youan immediately slipped away. Li Xiwu tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips and reminded him, For the sake of the adolescents physical and mental health, Fourth Brother, lets wash up and sleep after eating. Pei Jingzhou: God knew how much Pei Jingzhou regretted suddenly changing his mind and coming to the small courtyard. If he had known, he wouldnt have come. C The Pei residence in the wealthy district was brightly lit. Han Qianye had already washed up. It was time for her to take care of herself. Not long ago, she called her youngest son and found out about the transfer. She put on a mask and went to look for Pei Qingji. Hubby! Hubby! Pei Qingji was wiping his beloved small fishing rod. When he heard his wife approaching, he was so frightened that he quickly hid the small fishing rod under the bed. When he stood up, Han Qianye had already entered. Han Qianye frowned. What are you hiding? Pei Qingji was calm. Guess. Han Qianye walked closer. You bought a fishing rod again? No, how is that possible! Pei Qingji denied it and pretended to be calm. I stopped fishing long ago. No one would believe that. Han Qianye was about to bend down to look under the bed when Pei Qingji pulled Han Qianye back and conjured a gem with his hand like magic. Its here. Han Qianye looked at the pink-orange gem in Pei Qingjis hand. Yo. Pei Qingji thought to himself, Fortunately, he was prepared. He had just bought this Padparadscha gem a while ago. He had originally planned to make it into a necklace and surprise his wife on the day of the 27th anniversary of their marriage. In order to protect his beloved little fishing rod tonight, he could only take it out first. He would prepare another anniversary gift. Do you want to make it into a ring or a necklace? Pei Qingji asked. What Han Qianye cared about was, When did you buy it? Pei Qingji answered truthfully, I bid for it last month. Han Qianye asked again, How much did it cost? Pei Qingji recalled. 8.6 million. Han Qianye carefully put away the gem. The other gems might be a little shabby at eight million yuan. But the Padparadscha is alright. Ill make a necklace for Xixi. Pei Qingji: ? Han Qianye had completely forgotten the business of looking for her husband. She returned to the bedroom and put away the gem. She took her phone and prepared to contact the jewelry shop to design a style for her necklace. Coincidentally, as soon as she picked up her phone, she saw a call from Madam Di Xin. Han Qianye remembered the trending topic yesterday and picked up the phone. Hello~ Qianye, its me. Madam Di Xins voice came on the line. Ill see you tomorrow. Is that okay? There was no variety show recording or live broadcast tomorrow, so she naturally had time. However, Han Qianye could not tell what Madam Di Xin was thinking. Sure, sure. Ask me out alone? On the other end of the line, Madam Di Xin pondered for a moment and asked gently, Can you bring Miss Li? Chapter 121 - 121 Was A Kiss A Reward? 121 Was A Kiss A Reward? Han Qianye pretended not to understand. I dont know which Miss Li is Madam Di Xin talking about? Madam Di Xin enunciated each word clearly. Li Xiwu. Hearing this, Han Qianye raised her eyebrows and rejected her without thinking. Im afraid she doesnt have time to come. Madam Di Xin said sincerely, Qianye, if I call Miss Li directly, it will be too abrupt. I sincerely hope you can help me. Han Qianye hesitated, so she did not respond immediately. If she hadnt gone online surfing the internet before, she probably wouldnt have known what was going on. The situation was probably the day before yesterday, when Xixi and Jingzhou were on a date at Lake Roman and Madam Di Xin accidentally appeared on the live camera. At night, Han Qianye saw the recording on the Internet. In the live recording, Li Xiwu and Madam Di Xin were chatting happily. It was also because of Madam Di Xins appearance that it became a trending topic that afternoon. On the one hand, everyone was discussing Madam Di Xins elegance as an undefeated beauty. On the other hand, they were discussing why Madam Di Xin had suddenly come to the capital and appeared on a variety show. Of course, the netizens couldnt guess. However, Han Qianye could barely guess. Xixi had recently become popular on the variety show. The popularity of the variety show had even spread to various countries. Madam Di Xin must have seen Xixis face on the foreign media. She probably wanted to see her benefactors only daughter again in her life, so Han Qianye could understand Madam Di Xins feelings. After some hesitation, she said, If you ask me out, Ill have too much time tomorrow. If you want me to bring Xixi along, I cant make the decision on this matter. Why dont I ask her? If shes willing to come, Ill call you back. Madam Di Xin was very grateful for this. Thank you, Qianye. Han Qianye said, Its too early to thank me. Let me say this first. If Xixi doesnt come, I cant do anything. I wont force her. Madam Di Xin said, Im already grateful for your help. Han Qianye pursed her lips and listened to Madam Di Xins thanks. She felt upset. Madam Di Xin, its actually time to let go after so long. Similar people can only comfort your longing. After all, shes not the real Little You. On the other end of the line, Madam Di Xins voice was very low. Qianye, I know everything youre saying. After a pause, she said, The trip back to the country is the day after tomorrow. Im old. Its more than two thousand miles from Country T to the capital. I dont know when Ill come again. Before I go back this time, I really dont want to have any regrets. Im afraid I wont be able to come to the capital in the future. Han Qianye had a complicated expression. Madam Di Xin was always like this. Every word was sincere and polite, making it difficult to refuse her. Han Qianye did not refuse. Then, where does Madam Di Xin want to meet tomorrow? Han Qianye asked. There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, then she said word by word, Qionglou, then the Li Mansion in Qiang Yue Garden. Han Qianye was suddenly stunned. Madam Di Xin said, Qianye, I know this is presumptuous Han Qianye interrupted, Madam Di Xin, you dont have to explain. I understand what you mean. Its late. Rest early. Ill call Xixi now and ask if shes free tomorrow. Madam Di Xin thanked Han Qianye solemnly before ending the call. At this moment, Pei Qingji walked in. Why do you look so worried? Han Qianye put her phone aside and wrapped her arms around her chest while supporting her chin with one hand. Madam Di Xin wants to see Xixi. At the same time, she wondered if she should call Li Xiwu tonight or tomorrow morning. It was mainly because it was too late now. She was afraid that Li Xiwu would be asleep by this time. Li Xiwu seemed to have slept quite early. How conflicted. Pei Qingji raised his hand to undo his collar buckle. Didnt they already meet at Lake Roman last time? As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Qingji suddenly realized something and looked up. Han Qianye looked at Pei Qingji suspiciously. I thought you didnt surf the internet? How did you know that Madam Di Xin went to Lake Roman to see Xixi? Pei Qingjis forehead was sweating. Uh. Han Qianye asked, You went fishing again, right? Pei Qingji did not answer. He turned around and walked out. Han Qianye looked at his back and asked, Where are you going? Pei Qingjis tone was no different from when he was young. He was arrogant and wild. Ill go get the washboard! C In the small courtyard. Although Pei Youan had cooked the rice noodles tonight, it had become very easy to cook them because of the seasoning bag. Probably because it was too simple, Pei Youan even fried two eggs. Hence, the taste and appearance were on point. Li Xiwu thought of what had happened today and had yet to officially thank Pei Jingzhou, so she picked up the fried egg from the bowl and placed it in Pei Jingzhous bowl. Thank you for your help today, Fourth Brother. Although its a little shabby, this fried egg is the only thing I can give you now. Pei Jingzhou looked at the extra fried egg in his bowl and looked up at her. A reward? Li Xiwu said, Yes, thank you for your help today. She repeated what shed just said. Pei Jingzhou said, A reward. Cant I get a kiss? Li Xiwu pouted. Chu. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Cant you kiss my face? Li Xiwu said, Your face would be oily. Spoilsport! Pei Jingzhou put the fried egg back into her bowl, including the fried egg in his bowl. Its too shabby. Youll owe me for now. Li Xiwu: ? His lips curved when she froze with her chopsticks. Cant eat? Li Xiwu nodded. She thought Pei Jingzhou would take it back, but he said, You have to eat even if you cant. Look at how thin you are. Li Xiwu: The phone on the table vibrated. Li Xiwu put down her chopsticks and picked up the phone. Auntie. Han Qianyes smiling voice came from the phone. Is Xixi asleep? Li Xiwu said, Not yet. She slowly sat up straight and guessed why Han Qianye was calling her at this time. Could it be related to Pei Youan? However, what she guessed had nothing to do with what Han Qianye said. Han Qianye said, Do you remember that Madam Di Xin you met at Lake Roman? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and subconsciously looked up at Pei Jingzhou, who was sitting opposite her at the small table. He didnt seem to care who she answered the call or what she was talking about. He ate his noodles quietly and didnt make a sound. Li Xiwu inhaled. Go on. Han Qianye said directly, Its like this. Madam Di Xin wants to ask us out for a meal tomorrow at noon. Do you think youre free tomorrow at noon? Well go to the Pei residence for dinner later at night. Ive already asked Auntie Zhang to start preparing dinner tomorrow. Pei Jingzhou was familiar with Madam Di Xin, so Li Xiwu was not surprised that Han Qianye and Madam Di Xin were friends. Therefore, when she heard Han Qianyes words, she was very calm. However, at the thought that tomorrows lunch and dinner were planned, there would be endless food for the entire day She smiled bitterly in silence. Actually, she wanted to see Madam Dixin again, so she agreed. Im free at noon tomorrow. Chapter 122 - 122 Pei Jingzhou Was Afraid Of Losing Her, Hidden Meaning In His Words. 122 Pei Jingzhou Was Afraid Of Losing Her, Hidden Meaning In His Words. Han Qianye was relieved. Alright, sleep early. Actually, they were still having dinner, but Li Xiwu didnt say anything. She nodded and ended the call. She put the phone down. Picking up her chopsticks and preparing to continue eating the noodles, Pei Jingzhou said, Do you want to go? He heard it again! She didnt even turn on the speakerphone. His hearing was good. Li Xiwu nodded. Madam Di Xin invited me sincerely. I happen to have time. Theres no harm in going. Pei Jingzhous expression was calm. Ill go with you tomorrow. Li Xiwu smiled playfully. Fourth Brother, are you afraid that Auntie will sell me out? Yes. Pei Jingzhou followed her words. I only have one wife. If I lose her, itll be difficult to find her again. Li Xiwu couldnt tell the deeper meaning behind these words. She just smiled and continued to chew on the noodles. C The weather the next day was not very good. The fog was heavy, and the air was dry and cold. Pei Jingzhou personally sent Pei Youan to the new school to settle the matter of enrollment while Li Xiwu drove to the company. The moment she entered the office building, greetings rang out in all directions Good morning, Miss Li! Miss Li, you look good today. Miss Li, your hairstyle today is really good. It suits you too well. As her position in Hua Guan Media increased, Li Xiwu heard more greetings. These greetings were either from colleagues or employees from other departments. Everyone was on good terms. Apart from her colleagues and employees from the other departments, the person who greeted her today was also Hua Guans number one celebrity, Miao Zhiyi. Miao Zhiyi had not returned to the company for a long time, but she returned early today. When she saw Li Xiwu coming to the company, she immediately came over to greet her. Hi, Miss Li. Li Xiwu smiled. Back at the office? Miao Zhiyi nodded. Yes, I picked a new drama. Weve been talking about it recently. They walked side by side. Li Xiwu asked casually, Is it the suspense drama project that Nan Jia started? Miao Zhiyi nodded. The production is with Nan Jia Entertainment. After the previous show aired, Nan Jias reputation and results were outstanding. This drama is a new theme that Ive never tried before. I want to try it. Li Xiwu took care of Miao Zhiyis ten-centimeter high heels and slowed down. Are you planning to change style? Miao Zhiyi said, Yes, I have those plans. Li Xiwu suggested from her point of view, Transformation has always been very metaphysical. Its boring to stay in the comfort circle for too long, and the audience will be aesthetically tired, but remember not to be too anxious when you transition. You have to consider the transition route carefully before choosing the most suitable one for you. Miao Zhiyi felt that she had benefited greatly after hearing Li Xiwus words. Taking advantage of this moment, Miao Zhiyi mentioned what happened yesterday. I watched yesterdays live broadcast too. It was really shocking! At the mention of this, Miao Zhiyi sighed. I didnt expect Xie Wen to have experienced so much and been controlled by Chi Xu for so long. After yesterdays exposure, the entire Internet was shocked. Alright, not only the netizens, but everyone in the industry is also discussing this matter. Everyone is in admiration of you, Miss Li. You risked everything to save Xie Wen. Li Xiwus expression didnt change. I just did what I could. Its not as exaggerated as the Internet says. Miao Zhiyi giggled. Miss Li, youre too humble. Li Xiwu did not reply. At this point, the two of them had already taken the elevator upstairs. When they came out of the elevator, Miao Zhiyi took the opportunity to suggest, Miss Li, I want to treat you to a meal tonight. Do you have time? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows at this. She suddenly knew Miao Zhiyis intention of waiting for her. Talking about transition was not the point. The point was: Eat, take photos, and be on the trending searches. The trending topic #Miao Zhiyi and Li Xiwu have a good relationship # Miao Zhiyi observed Li Xiwus expression. Before this drama in Nan Jia, the company arranged for a Xianxia drama, but we also have to take care of the newcomers. Ive discussed it with Sister Xue and decided to choose a drama for the transition. However, this drama doesnt have much popularity. I just want to give myself some popularity before signing this drama. Li Xiwu raised her lips. So you want to ride on my current popularity? Miao Zhiyi was not embarrassed. Yes, its indeed been difficult recently. Li Xiwu smiled bitterly. My popularity is only for a day or two. Why bother? Although Li Xiwu kindly reminded Miao Zhiyi, it did not mean that she would be such a good person. She reminded her, Miao Zhiyi, youre Hua Guans number one female celebrity. Dont lower your status and do things below your status. If youre tired of being Hua Guans number one female celebrity, there are many people who want to replace you. Miao Zhiyi was stunned. If what Li Xiwu had just said had benefited her greatly, then Li Xiwus words enlightened her. There had been no exposure recently. She had to take care of the newbies when she took on new dramas. Either that or she had to transition. She was really pressed. She was scurrying around like a headless fly. For example, me! I cant wait to replace you. Xue Jinzhus voice came from the front. The company heater was on full, and there was no coldness. Li Xiwu looked up. Xue Jinzhu, who was walking towards her, was wearing a light yellow dress with a slim waist. Her short boots were ten centimeters tall, and her hair was curled into very charming waves. When she fluffed it up, it made her head look very high. Xue Jinzhu walked over and held Li Xiwus arm intimately. Miss Li wanted her daughter to be a phoenix. I cant disappoint you, Miss Li. Ive been keeping an eye on Hua Guans number one position since the day I entered the company. Be careful not to be squeezed out by me. Miao Zhiyi laughed. The new generation surpasses the old. This is inevitable. Ill naturally be careful. Before leaving, Miao Zhiyi said to Li Xiwu, Thank you, Miss Li. Li Xiwu raised her lips. Youre welcome. After Miao Zhiyi left, Xue Jinzhu let go and behaved herself. She called out obediently, Miss Li. Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhu in confusion. Wanted my daughter to become a phoenix? Xue Jinzhu bit her lip. I heard that celebrities are all their managers children. Because their manager made them famous, its equivalent to having another parent. When Im famous, Ill call you Mother Li. Li Xiwu: Theres no need! She didnt respond. She started for the office. When Yuanyuan was free, she would clean her office. It was almost spotless and the furnishings were very neat. As soon as she sat down, Xue Jinzhu walked over in her high heels and leaned over the desk. Li Xiwu looked up and her gaze was filled with those round eyes. Li Xiwus expression froze. Xue Jinzhu raised her hand to cover her chest in embarrassment. Her palm was only so big, so covering it like this was no different from hugging a pipa. If Li Xiwu was a man, she would definitely not be able to sit still! Li Xiwu looked away and asked casually, Hows acting class these days? Xue Jinzhu did not dare to lie. Miss Li, Im too useless. Li Xiwu asked, What did you do? Xue Jinzhu covered her mouth, looking a little embarrassed. A date. Li Xiwu looked up at Xue Jinzhu. For the past two days, Pei Jingzhou had been with her almost all the time. Who was Xue Jinzhu dating? Chapter 123 - 123 Its Here, Its Here, Here Comes Trouble 123 Its Here, Its Here, Here Comes Trouble Li Xiwu couldnt help but think for a moment. At this moment, Xue Jinzhu added, Actually, hes been a little busy these past two days. He doesnt have much time to accompany me, but even if hes very busy, hes prepared a gift for me. I cant refuse such a small surprise. As she spoke, Xue Jinzhu raised her right hand. Then, she raised her middle finger and showed Li Xiwu the Bulgari ring on her middle finger. Miss Li, look. This is the ring he bought for me. Li Xiwu looked at it for a few seconds before looking away. Do you know the arrangements from the company? The topic changed too quickly. Xue Jinzhu retracted her hand in embarrassment. I just found out. Li Xiwu asked, Your original intention was to participate in this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show? Yes, yes, yes! Xue Jinzhu nodded vigorously. She even said, Miss Li, youre so popular after being on this variety show. This means that this variety show has the advantage of creating stars. Compared to slowly filming and becoming famous, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show is a good stepping stone. Li Xiwu nodded. Good thinking. Xue Jinzhu beamed. Then what do I need to prepare now? Li Xiwu put down the information in her hand. We have to pretend not to know each other on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show. Youre just an ordinary person. Xue Jinzhu nodded. I know that. President Qi said so. Li Xiwu asked again, Your group is a combination of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Have you seen that mother-in-law? Xue Jinzhu shook her head. Not yet, but President Qi said that Ill see her in the afternoon. Miss Li, are you free in the afternoon? Li Xiwu said, Not this afternoon. Xue Jinzhu was disappointed. After a long silence, Xue Jinzhu asked in a probing tone, Miss Li, do you not like me? Li Xiwu inhaled. No. Xue Jinzhu said, But you dont care much about me. Youre a resource celebrity. Im only your manager in name. I cant interfere too much with you. Li Xiwu expressed her attitude. It was indeed the case. Xue Jinzhu pouted and sighed. Alright, I understand, but As she spoke, Xue Jinzhus eyes darted around before she looked at Li Xiwu. Miss Li, you have to control me when youre free. A daughter without anyone to control will become more and more rebellious. I quarreled with an artist from the same company yesterday. Li Xiwu asked calmly, Did you win the argument? Xue Jinzhus unhappy expression a second ago turned into a smile the next. Yes, I did! Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. As long as you win the argument. I won the argument, but Xue Jinzhu hesitated. Li Xiwu asked, But what? Xue Jinzhu looked a little troubled and embarrassed, making her charming face look a little silly. Its just that I performed too well. She couldnt argue with me and cried from anger. She turned around and reported it to her manager. Her manager might come looking for trouble with you later. Li Xiwu: Her temples throbbed faintly. Li Xiwu raised her hand and pressed it. Knock, knock, knock There was a knock on the door! Speak of the devil! Li Xiwu! A roar came from outside the door. Xue Jinzhu reacted extremely quickly and walked around the desk to hide behind Li Xiwu. Its here, its here, trouble is here. Li Xiwu frowned and looked up at the door. Kong Yu and her manager, Cao Ting, entered her office one after another. Li Xiwu, youre finally back! Youve been quite glorious these past two days! Cao Tings tone was unfriendly as soon as he entered. Li Xiwu stood up and smiled. How can it be as glorious as Old Cao? Qi Zishen just won the Golden Magnolia Award. Old Cao wont mind if I congratulate you late, right? Qi Zishen was Hua Guans number one male celebrity. He was popular and had a stable status. How would I dare to mind? Miss Li is now a popular person in Hua Guan. President Qi has to be careful with you, too. In a while, Im afraid Ill have to call you President Li. Cao Tings tone sounded strange, but he was actually furious. The two of them were actually quite close. However, this time, Xue Jinzhu really angered Cao Ting. Cao Ting almost gritted his teeth. I know youre busy, but no matter what, you have to take some time to take care of Xue Jinzhu. She bullied my artist. Look at how she bullied our Kong Yu! She cried all night. Li Xiwu was still not sure what was going on. Her gaze shifted to Kong Yu, who was beside Cao Ting. The little girls nose was red, and her eyes were red. She looked like she had been wronged. She remembered that Kong Yu had only signed in with Cao Ting for a year. She was not in a professional class and had yet to take on two dramas, but she had gained some popularity under the name of Qi Zishens junior sister. Li Xiwu straightened up. Old Cao, I just returned to the company. Im not too sure about the details. Take a seat and tell me slowly. After giving him a way out, Cao Ting naturally had to go down. He was about to sit down when Xue Jinzhu jumped out from behind Li Xiwu. Kong Yu, you have cockroaches on you! Ahhhhhhhhh Kong Yus scream echoed throughout the office. Even the people passing by could hear her. Curious, someone peered in to see what was going on and saw a woman tapping in the office. Li Xiwu: Cao Ting: The two of them looked at each other. Cao Ting was already furious. Li Xiwu quickly said, Old Cao, calm down. Calm down. Cao Ting looked at Li Xiwu and then at Xue Jinzhu, who was gloating. Control her. With that, he quickly went to comfort Kong Yu. This was how she was after being frightened. Her nerves were a little weak and could not withstand another scare. More importantly, Xue Jinzhu had taken a real cockroach when she first frightened Kong Yu. Li Xiwu took a deep breath and turned to look at Xue Jinzhu angrily. The gloating smile on Xue Jinzhus face immediately disappeared. Miss Li, I was wrong. Li Xiwu, who had yet to start asking questions: Xue Jinzhu caused trouble and admitted her mistake quite quickly, she even apologized to Kong Yu very formally and politely. She was just short of bowing. Throughout the entire process, Cao Ting was quite satisfied and let the matter rest. After watching Cao Ting leave the office with Kong Yu, Li Xiwu sighed. She turned to look at Xue Jinzhu, who was taking a selfie, and suddenly asked, Are you the one whom your parents worry about the most in your family? Xue Jinzhu smiled, revealing her teeth. Miss Li, how do you even know this? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Dont always cause trouble. If you offended the entire company, even if youre a resource celebrity, the road ahead wont be so easy. Old Cao is still easy to talk to. It might not be the case for anyone else. Xue Jinzhu obediently replied, Okay. However, she immediately said indignantly, But she was the one who said that my plastic surgery was too exaggerated at first. Then, she said that my breast augmentation was too exaggerated, but I was born with it. Moreover, not only am I born with big breasts, but Im also born with a big butt. I dont know how lucky my man is. Li Xiwu: Chapter 124 - 124 This Is Li Xiwus Blessing 124 This Is Li Xiwus Blessing Xue Jinzhu wanted to prove that she was not lying. After proving it, Li Xiwu could no longer hold back her expression. Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhu. Now, can you let go of my hand? Hehe~ Xue Jinzhu let go of Li Xiwus hand. Li Xiwu looked at her palm, her expression silent. She hadnt been through this before and tried to maintain a level tone. No need. Im sure youre real from head to toe. No advanced technology. Xue Jinzhu pouted. Actually, not all of it is true. Li Xiwu: ? Xue Jinzhu pointed at her mouth. The pouty lips are made, but other than the pouty lips, everything else is real, especially my breasts and buttocks. Theyre natural. They cant be faked. I swear. Li Xiwu was speechless. There was no need to swear! While she was stunned, Xue Jinzhu had already twisted her waist and was about to take Li Xiwus hand. Li Xiwu was speechless and was about to pull her hand back. At this moment, there was a light cough from the door Ahem! Li Xiwu and Xue Jinzhu looked up at the door. It was Qi Jiangchi. Qi Jiangchi, who was standing at the office door, was looking at this scene in shock. He came down to look for Li Xiwu to see the mother-in-law who was with Xue Jinzhu. When he saw this scene, Qi Jiangchi smiled. Li Xiwu saw Qi Jiangchi smile and retracted her hand in silence. Xue Jinzhu twisted her waist. President Qi, youre here. My back itched just now. Miss Li was helping me scratch it. Qi Jiangchi sneered. Do you need to twist your waist like a fried dough twist to scratch your back? Xue Jinzhu smiled shyly. Aiya, President Qi, dont think too much. Miss Li and I are innocent. Qi Jiangchi said, I didnt say you werent innocent. Li Xiwus face had already darkened. She glared at Xue Jinzhu. Shut up. Xue Jinzhu pouted. Oh. Get out. I have something to discuss with Miss Li. Qi Jiangchi put his hands in his pockets and looked at Xue Jinzhu. Xue Jinzhu puffed out her chest. Okay. When she passed by Qi Jiangchi, Xue Jinzhu puffed out her chest again. Qi Jiangchi pursed his lips and smiled. Alright, enough. Xue Jinzhu bit her lip and pushed Qi Jiangchis shoulder. President Qi, youre so annoying. Qi Jiangchi pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. Close the door. Okay~ After the office door closed, Li Xiwu sat down in the bosss chair and sighed. She looked up at Qi Jiangchi. President Qi, whats the matter? Qi Jiangchi walked forward and placed his hands on the table. Miss Li, youre quite lucky with women, he teased. Li Xiwu: She leaned back. President Qi, lets get down to business. My friend asked me out for dinner. Qi Jiangchi sneered. Didnt you say last time that youll cover todays meal for me? Li Xiwu was stunned. Did I say that? Qi Jiangchi said, Tsk, heartless. Li Xiwu looked apologetic. There have been too many dinners recently. I cant eat all of them. I can tell. Qi Jiangchi said with a smile, then took out his phone from his pocket and opened the page. He placed it in front of Li Xiwu. This is the mother-in-law of Xue Jinzhu. Li Xiwu looked at it and frowned. The person who formed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law group with Xue Jinzhu was actually Tang Xian! Qi Jiangchi smiled. Do you think its very inappropriate? Li Xiwu looked up and her thin lips moved. The number one embroidery palm in the embroidery world. Why would she agree to go on a variety show? Qi Jiangchi said, Promote Su embroidery. Li Xiwu was silent. After a moment of silence, she said, I heard that Tang Xian likes silence and hates noise. Its a good thing that shes willing to accept an invitation to go on a variety show to promote Su embroiderys culture, but to become Xue Jinzhus mother-in-law, Im afraid Qi Jiangchi finished speaking for Li Xiwu. Im afraid Master Tang will be tortured by Xue Jinzhus endless and extremely noisy personality until she announces her withdrawal from the variety show in less than two days. With that, Qi Jiangchi put away his phone. Since theyre a combination mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Master Tang naturally knows. It shouldnt be a big problem, but you have to make things clear to Xue Jinzhu. Li Xiwu was curious. Since you came to look for me to talk about this, why didnt you leave Xue Jinzhu behind just now? Qi Jiangchi put his hands in his pockets and smiled helplessly. Shes too noisy. You should take the suffering. Li Xiwu choked. At this moment, she could already imagine that after Xue Jinzhu went on Mother-in-Law Joys variety show, she would probably cause the entire variety show to be in chaos!! After dealing with the piled-up work, Li Xiwu told Xue Jinzhu who her mother-in-law was. Xue Jinzhu did not know her at all and was not curious. Im not really dating her son. It doesnt matter who it is. Li Xiwu deliberately said, You have to respect her. Xue Jinzhu agreed obediently. Okay. After that, Li Xiwu took the time to drive to the place where Madam Di Xin had arranged to meet for dinner. This place was called Qionglou. She parked the car and sent Pei Jingzhou a location. After two or three seconds, her phone beeped. Pei Jingzhou replied: [On the way.] Li Xiwu put away her phone and entered Qionglou. The waiter here was very polite. After asking carefully, he led Li Xiwu to the private room. The waiter opened the door. This is it, miss. Li Xiwu thanked him and went in. Qionglou was very famous in the capital. In the first ring, it was backed by the CBD. It was a quiet place in the chaos. It was a favorite place for rich and idle people, but its expenses were also shockingly high. The other party was Madam Di Xin. She had booked the Qionglou to match her identity. After entering, there was a screen. On the screen were a few vivid red-crowned cranes, corresponding to the name of the private room, [Crane Dance]. The entire private room was ancient, but there was no sign of Han Qianye, Madam Di Xin, or the others. Li Xiwu thought she was early. Perhaps Madam Di Xin and the others were still on their way to Qionglou. She carefully sized up the displays in the entire private room. The more she looked at some of them, the more she liked them. She wondered if she should go back and change the style of the small courtyard to the style of the Qionglou. Anyway, she would live alone and do whatever she liked. Just as she was thinking this, someone behind her shouted at her back Little You. Chapter 125 - 125 An Acquaintance Arrived And Recognized Her, She was Li You. 125 An Acquaintance Arrived And Recognized Her, She was Li You. The name Little You was too unfamiliar to Li Xiwu. However, the voice that called out to Little You just now seemed to be very close to her She turned. Seeing the person standing there, she addressed seriously, Madam Di Xin. Madam Di Xin seemed to love black. What she was wearing today was extremely similar to what she had worn that day at Lake Roman. It was also a long black knitted dress, but she was not wearing a top hat today. Her silver hair was pulled up high and she looked extremely elegant. Madam Di Xin raised a smile and walked over. Im sorry, Miss Li. I was dazzled just now and saw you as Little You. Li Xiwu didnt mind. Because last time at Lake Roman, Madam Di Xin had said that she looked very much like the daughter of her benefactor. But Li Xiwu was still a little curious. Do I really look like her? Madam Di Xin shook her head kindly. Not very similar, but your eyes, expressions, frowns, and smiles are very similar. And your figure. She was just as tall, even the voice sounded like hers. Although the face was the most similar, the face was the most distinguishable. Li Xiwu did not know if the benefactors daughter was still around. She was afraid that if she was not around, mentioning this person would make Madam Di Xin sad, so she did not say much. Madam Di Xin Li Xiwus hand. Lets go in first. The two of them walked further in. At this moment, Han Qianye, who was already inside, looked up and waited for Madam Di Xin to bring Li Xiwu in. After waiting for a long time, she did not see anyone. She was a little anxious. A slender hand reached over and handed Han Qianye a cup of flower tea. Mrs. Pei, dont worry. Han Qianye took the cup of flower tea but did not drink it. Im not worried. Yu Hewei smiled faintly. Worry is written all over your face. Han Qianye looked up at the calm Yu Hewei. Madam Di Xin wants to prove that she didnt recognize the wrong person. Why dont you want to prove it? Yu Heweis gaze faded a little. I watched your variety show when it was popular in Country T. At first glance, I thought she looked similar, but after watching it a few more times, I realized that she was not Little You. The real Little You is long gone. Ive already accepted this fact. Han Qianye put down the flower tea. Everyone has accepted this fact. Only Madam Di Xin cant let go. Yu Hewei thought of a certain someone and chuckled. Isnt Pei Jingzhou unable to let go? He even found a substitute by his side. Han Qianyes expression changed slightly. If it were before, she would definitely be on the same side as Yu Hewei. Now, she smiled awkwardly. Actually, Xixi is very good too. Dont treat her like a substitute. Yu Hewei leaned closer to Han Qianye. Dont tell me youve already accepted this substitute daughter-in-law? Han Qianye pursed her lips. Yu Hewei stood up and went to the fish tank. She nudged the water with her hand. The living thrive. The dead become more and more blurry in the screen of memories. Pathetic. As Li Yous best friend and witness to Li You and Pei Jingzhous love, Yu Hewei did not really want Pei Jingzhou to be alone for the rest of his life after Li You passed away. A few years later, he could still meet a girl he liked and walk into his heart again to start a new life. However, a year after Li Yous death, he quickly found a substitute for her. Because of this, Yu Hewei hated Pei Jingzhou. Later on, she almost never came to China again, nor did she set foot in the capital. If Madam Di Xin hadnt insisted on coming this time, she wouldnt have thought of coming back at all. Weiwei. Someone was shouting for her. It was Madam Di Xins voice. Yu Hewei raised her hand, which was stirring the water. Water dripped from her fingertips. She shook her hand gently and turned around. Although she had seen Li Xiwu on television, Yu Hewei could not help but be stunned when she saw Li Xiwu in person. However, she was only stunned for a few seconds. Yu Hewei immediately walked over. Li Xiwu had just pulled her hand out of Madam Di Xins when she looked up and saw a short-haired woman standing in front of her. Her short hair was at the neck and brownish-brown. She had Chinese looks and exquisite eyebrows. Her makeup only had long eyeliner and bright red lips. Her beauty was naturally strong, and her facial features were obvious. The other party was staring at her without blinking. Her gaze was a little rude. At this moment, Yu Hewei did not know that she had lost her composure. She did not know how to describe her current mood. It was just that her expression, which could not be seen on television, was clearly seen in reality. Her mood was really subtle. It was no wonder that Madam Di Xin said that she looked very much like Little You. Even she was confused. Weiwei. Madam Di Xins voice called Yu Hewei back to her senses. Yu Hewei realized that she had lost her composure and took a few steps back. Madam Di Xin asked Yu Hewei expectantly, Does she look like her? Yu Hewei didnt know how to answer for a moment, so she said nothing. Han Qianye walked over quickly and pulled Li Xiwu to her side. She asked, Are you hungry? Why dont we not eat? Li Xiwu remembered that Pei Jingzhou was still on his way over. Fourth Brother isnt here yet. Why dont we wait for a while? Han Qianye asked, Jingzhou is here too? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes, Fourth Brother is free today. Actually, Pei Jingzhou insisted on coming. She thought that since Pei Jingzhou and Madam Di Xin knew each other, if Pei Jingzhou was here, perhaps she could have a quiet lunch. Yu Hewei suddenly asked, Pei Jingzhou is here too? Speak of the devil! As soon as Yu Hewei finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou arrived. Yu Hewei looked up and saw that it was really Pei Jingzhou. Her expression was not so good. If I had known, I wouldnt have come. Pei Jingzhou walked over and glanced at Yu Hewei coldly. Go ahead. Yu Hewei: Li Xiwu could hear the tension. What did Pei Jingzhou have against this short-haired woman? As she was thinking, Pei Jingzhou held her hand. He looked down at her, and his cold eyes instantly softened. You just arrived? Li Xiwu raised her lips. Yes, I just arrived a few minutes ago. It was time for Madam Di Xin to speak. Everyone is here. Take your seats. The dishes will be served immediately. A few minutes later. The dishes were served one after another. Qionglous dishes were very famous. Every dish was very unique. Li Xiwu saw that her hand was still being held by Pei Jingzhou. She then thought of how they had been holding hands since he came over and sat down. Moreover, they were holding hands very tightly. It was a little like they were deliberately showing off their love, but it was not completely similar. She tried to pull it out but couldnt. So she looked up at him. Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhou looked at her quietly. At this moment, the atmosphere at the table was very quiet. Everyone had different thoughts. No one made a sound. Han Qianye could not sit still. Her gaze darted around and she suddenly noticed a mushroom soup in front of Li Xiwu. She remembered the episode at the inn the day before. Li Xiwu seemed to be allergic to mushrooms? She still remembered that she had gone to the hospital. Just in case, Han Qianye stood up and took the initiative to move the mushroom soup. Yu Hewei saw this scene. Her eyebrows twitched and she suddenly asked, Miss Li doesnt like mushrooms? Han Qianye replied without thinking, Its not that she doesnt like it. Shes allergic to mushrooms. With that, Yu Hewei suddenly stood up Chapter 126 - 126 Confirm Li Xiwus Identity! Its Her! 126 Confirm Li Xiwus Identity! Its Her! Yu Heweis sudden movement was too obvious to ignore. Han Qianye stopped what she was doing and looked at Yu Hewei in confusion. Whats wrong, Weiwei? Do you like mushrooms? Yu Hewei was stunned and did not respond for a long time. But those eyes were fixed on Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu looked up and met Yu Heweis gaze. She didnt know what was wrong with her. Perhaps she wasnt welcome? Perhaps there was something on her face? Or perhaps it was some inadvertent person she had just done that made her look familiar? All sorts of possibilities were only Li Xiwus guess. She pursed her lips and broke the silence. Is there something on my face? Yu Heweis lips parted, but she did not answer Han Qianye, let alone Li Xiwu. At this moment, Madam Di Xin also realized that something was wrong, but she was still calm at her age. She reached out and gently pulled Yu Heweis hand. Weiwei, sit down. Dont lose your composure. Finally, Yu Hewei recovered from her surprise. She looked incredulous. As she sat down, she murmured softly, Thats impossible After sitting down, Yu Hewei looked at Pei Jingzhou again and saw that his expression was calm and composed. He was not surprised by her sudden movement. After a while, Yu Hewei came back to her senses. Underneath her calm exterior, her heart was in chaos. At this moment, Han Qianye placed the delicious mushroom soup in front of Yu Hewei. Does Weiwei like mushrooms? Yu Hewei was about to say no. When her gaze landed on Li Xiwu, she suddenly corrected herself. Yes, I like it. Han Qianye adjusted the atmosphere. From your reaction just now, I guessed that you should like mushrooms too. Yu Hewei glanced at the mushroom soup not far in front of her. It was very fresh and fragrant. It was a specialty of Qionglou Restaurant. The cooking method was unique and could be considered a signboard, and her mood was extremely complicated. The meal was tasteless to Li Xiwu. Thinking about it, if she wasnt here for the appointment, she would have settled her lunch in the small courtyard today. With Qiao Qiao by her side, she could take another video. She had been thinking about homemade buckwheat noodles for a long time, and the last update was a month ago. She had just put down her chopsticks. Madam Di Xins voice came from the front. Are these dishes not to Miss Lis liking? Li Xiwu shook her head. No, the food is delicious. Its just that my appetite is smaller and I cant eat much. Madam Di Xins face was full of pity. But youve only eaten so little. Why dont you eat more? Yu Hewei suddenly said, Is it because these dishes are too light? Qionglou Restaurants dishes were very famous, mainly because they were very unique, but they were indeed light. They were healthy dishes. Li Xiwu pursed her lips slightly. Its fine. Taking advantage of this moment, Yu Hewei suddenly asked, Miss Li, do you like spicy food? Li Xiwu didnt answer, because someone else had already answered for her She does. Not only does Xixi like spicy food, but she also eats noodles with mouthfuls of spicy sauce. It was Han Qianye who answered. Because of the in-law variety show, she knew a lot about Li Xiwu, so she could answer these questions for Li Xiwu. Yu Hewei didnt ask anything else, but when she reached for her chopsticks again, her hands were trembling slightly. When Madam Di Xin saw this scene, her mind stirred. This was probably why she had called Yu Hewei to the capital. Weiwei was extremely familiar with Little You. C After the meal, Li Xiwu was pulled by Madam Di Xin to talk for a while. Pei Jingzhou accompanied her. Yu Hewei walked over. Mr. Pei, its been a long time. Shall we catch up? Pei Jingzhous voice was a little faint. Were not familiar with each other. Why are we catching up? Li Xiwu glanced at the two of them, then looked away, her indifferent expression clear. Seeing that Pei Jingzhou was not giving her face, Yu Hewei raised her voice. Since Mr. Pei says that youre not familiar with her, can I talk to Miss Li? Li Xiwu, who had been called out, looked over again. After looking into Yu Heweis smiling eyes for a moment, Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Miss Yu, what do you want to talk to me about? Well talk about habits and hobbies. Theres a lot to talk about between girls. The smile on Yu Heweis face was very friendly. When Li Xiwu was not familiar with the other party, she was not willing to interact deeply. She had come here today because she wanted to know how much she resembled the daughter of the benefactor Madam Di Xin had mentioned. However, other than when she first met her today, Madam Di Xin had not mentioned this topic again. She wanted to refuse contact with Yu Hewei. Just as she was considering how to reject her, Pei Jingzhou slowly stood up and walked out. Yu Hewei smiled and followed Pei Jingzhou outside. Li Xiwu looked away as the two of them left. Han Qianye patted Li Xiwus arm gently. Xixi. Li Xiwu looked sideways at Han Qianye. Han Qianye smiled kindly. Dont misunderstand. Jingzhou and Weiwei are just ordinary friends. Actually, Li Xiwu did not think too much about it. Han Qianye specially explained and she was a little surprised. I didnt think too much about it. Li Xiwu did not show a hint of speculation. It was as if it had nothing to do with her. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwus nonchalant expression and felt that her explanation just now was not well organized. Outside. Pei Jingzhou stood in front of the screen at the entrance. Yu Hewei walked over and stopped behind Pei Jingzhou. She said slowly, After losing Li You for a year, you were afraid of forgetting her, so you found a very similar substitute to keep by your side. You doted on this substitute and valued her very much. You were so good to her and placed all your thoughts on her Yu Hewei spoke for a long time. As she spoke, she walked up to Pei Jingzhou. She looked up at his cold and unreasonable face. Arent you letting Li You down by doing this? Pei Jingzhou looked at Yu Hewei with cold eyes. So what if Im letting her down? So what? Yu Hewei smiled, but as she smiled, her expression returned to its coldness. Pei Jingzhou, back then, you returned to the country after being seriously injured. I want to know did you really return alone back then? Pei Jingzhous jaw tightened. Is that all you want to ask? Thats not all! I want to ask too much! Yu Heweis voice was a little hoarse. Li Xiwu looks like Li You. I can understand because shes the one you picked out from thousands of people. Li Xiwus surname is Li. Of course, you carefully chose her, but she Chapter 127 - 127 She Finally Understood Why Pei Jingzhou Did This 127 She Finally Understood Why Pei Jingzhou Did This At this point, Yu Heweis voice became even hoarse. She almost couldnt control her emotions. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She stared at Pei Jingzhou and said word by word, Li You is allergic to mushrooms. Li You like spicy food the most. These two points are also repeated on Li Xiwu. Is this also a coincidence? Faced with Yu Heweis question, Pei Jingzhou only replied calmly, Its all fake. Yu Hewei was stunned. Her eyelids fluttered, and her lips moved repeatedly as if she wanted to say something. Then she, she, she Pei Jingzhous gaze was almost ruthless. The substitute I personally replicated is naturally the most perfect. Yu Hewei: At that moment, Yu Hewei thought she would really hear that answer, the answer that could make people cry with joy. But it wasnt. However, Yu Hewei was not as disappointed as she had originally thought. She choked on a laugh. Pei Jingzhou, youre a heartless person. To be loved by someone like you is definitely an exception. Someone like you Ive never been able to figure out how you could bear to let this exception become the past. Now, I understand. With that, Yu Hewei turned around and went back. At this moment, Madam Di Xin had already conveyed her intention to go to Qiang Yue Garden to Li Xiwu. But Li Xiwu declined Madam Di Xins invitation. Im sorry to disappoint you, Madam Di Xin. I have work to deal with this afternoon. Although Li Xiwu had never been to Qiang Yue Garden, she also knew where that was. There was a famous Li Mansion there, and a monument. Although people could go to Qiang Yue Garden as they pleased, they had to make an appointment in advance to enter the Li Mansion. However, if she went with Madam Di Xin, she could enter without an appointment. Li Xiwu was not too curious about this place. Moreover, she did have a lot of work to do this afternoon. Besides, Han Qianye did not say that she was going to Qiang Yue Garden on the phone last night. She only said that she was going to eat at Qionglou. Madam Di Xin was a little disappointed. Miss Li, are you really not willing to accompany me to the Li Mansion? Li Xiwu smiled apologetically. Im sorry, Madam Di Xin. At this moment, Yu Hewei returned. Yu Hewei walked over and said, Its a pity that Miss Li cant accompany us to the Li Mansion. Pity? Li Xiwu didnt understand the regret, but she wasnt curious. Just as she was about to say goodbye to Madam Di Xin, Yu Hewei walked towards her and asked with a steady gaze, Is your name Li Xiwu now? Li Xiwu didnt sense the targeting, so her attitude was good. Yes, not only now. I used to be by this name. Yu Hewei took a deep breath to calm herself down and make a request. Can I hug you for a while? Li Xiwu was stunned. This request was too sudden. In addition, she was not familiar with the other party, so she would definitely resist from the bottom of her heart. However, the way Yu Hewei looked at her made Li Xiwu not resist because Yu Heweis eyes turned red. Li Xiwu agreed. Sure. It must be that she looked too much like the person called Little You. Madam Di Xin would fall into a daze when she looked at her, and Miss Yus eyes would turn red when she looked at her. Yu Hewei slowly reached out and slowly hugged Li Xiwu. Then, Li Xiwu heard a choked voice after extreme suppression. Youre back Li Xiwu was stunned. Gradually, her limbs became a little stiff. On one hand, it was a strangers hug. On the other hand, it was Yu Heweis words. Youre back. This reminded her of the day she first arrived at the Pei residence. In the darkness, no one could see each other clearly. Only Pei Jingzhous words could be heard clearly: Youre back. Li Xiwu suddenly felt her breath catch. She suddenly felt very uncomfortable. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou forcefully separated the two of them! Li Xiwu was still a little stunned and looked a little dazed. She could only vaguely feel that she was in Pei Jingzhous arms and heard his voice talking to Madam Di Xin. Thank you for your hospitality today. Goodbye. With that, Pei Jingzhou took Li Xiwu away. Li Xiwu was in a daze. She subconsciously followed Pei Jingzhou because in the current situation, she could only trust him. Han Qianye wanted to follow, but when she saw Madam Di Xins disappointed expression, she could only stay and comfort her. Xixi is indeed very busy. It will probably take a few hours to go to the Li Mansion. We have to film a variety show tomorrow. She must be anxious to finish her work first. You understand. Madam Di Xin looked away. I understand everything youre saying, Qianye. I just want to see her more. Han Qianye said realistically, But shes not Little You. Mrs. Pei, what if she is? At this moment, Yu Heweis words suddenly came. Han Qianye thought suspiciously. Two hours ago, Yu Hewei had clearly said that she had long accepted the fact that Little You was not around. However, Han Qianye did not persuade her. After all, everyone had their own obsessions. Especially since Yu Hewei and Li You were so close. It was normal for her not to let her go. Han Qianye did not stay long. She chatted for a while before leaving. Yu Hewei watched Han Qianye leave. After a long time, she retracted her gaze and turned around. Seeing that Madam Di Xin was looking at her, Yu Hewei smiled. Have you been waiting for this? Madam Di Xin smiled elegantly. Other than the first time you saw Miss Li, you were distracted. Ever since then, your emotions have been unstable. Yu Hewei reached into the fish tank beside her and paddled around. How is something wrong? Madam Di Xin said, You must have seen something. Yes. Yu Heweis eyes were still red. Your instincts were right. Im glad you called me here today. No, I should be glad you insisted on bringing me to the capital this time. Madam Di Xin walked over to Yu Hewei and raised her old hand to her cheek. Is that her? Yu Heweis voice cracked. I think so. After pausing for a few seconds, she composed herself. Pei Jingzhou found a substitute to keep by his side. Im both angry and confused. I hate his ruthlessness and his trampling on his relationship with Li You after she passed away But if shes Li You, I suddenly understand why Pei Jingzhou did this After saying this, Yu Hewei still couldnt control her adjusted emotions. She reached out and hugged Madam Di Xin in front of her. If its Li You, how will she face everything that happened back then? Madam Di Xin patted Yu Heweis back shoulder gently. Lets go to the Li Mansion again. Yu Hewei choked out a reply. Okay. C Li Xiwu left in Pei Jingzhous car. And someone would drive the car shed driven back for her later. Li Xiwu had been quiet since she got into the car. After an unknown period of time, just as Pei Jingzhou thought that she would not say a word along the way, Li Xiwu suddenly spoke. She moved her lips and asked in a low voice, Do Li You and I really look alike? Chapter 128 - 128 President Pei Is Infertile 128 President Pei Is Infertile This was the first time Li Xiwu had mentioned that persons name in front of Pei Jingzhou. She had never mentioned it before and had never asked. Occasionally, she would mention that she only wanted to go to Country T with Pei Jingzhou. However, at that time, his expression would always change, but it was not anger. Instead, it was a complicated feeling that she could not see through. After that, she never mentioned going to Country T again. When the contract marriage was about to end, she met Madam Di Xin and Miss Yu, who hugged her with red eyes. Li Xiwus heart was in a mess. This had nothing to do with her, but subconsciously, she felt that it was all related to her. After being silent for so long, Pei Jingzhou did not expect Li Xiwus first question to be this question. His jaw tightened. What kind of answer do you want to hear? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. The truth. She looked into his eyes. Her steady gaze conveyed that at this moment all she wanted was a real answer. Pei Jingzhou replied, Yes. Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhous cold face. Its been three years. Can you still distinguish between her and me? Pei Jingzhou said, Theres no need to distinguish. It has to be distinguished. Li Xiwus voice faded a little. No matter how similar we are, were not the same person. If she finds out, she wont be happy. Fourth Brother, dont make the girl you love angry. Pei Jingzhou asked, What about you? Li Xiwu looked relieved again. Im different. Im her substitute. I keep getting and having. Ive never lost it, so Im free. At this point, Li Xiwu even relaxed a lot. The complicated emotions Yu Hewei had brought her in the Qionglou just now had already disappeared. Pei Jingzhou reached over and held Li Xiwus hand. Honey. Li Xiwus heart trembled when she heard him call her that. She looked up at him. Pei Jingzhous pupils were deep as he stared into her eyes. I love you. The moment these three words came out of Pei Jingzhous mouth, Li Xiwus heart trembled and her pupils constricted. A few seconds later, she retracted her hand from Pei Jingzhous palm as if she was burning. She took a deep breath and reminded him, Im not Li You. Fourth Brother has given me your favor. Dont put such a serious love on me again. Pei Jingzhou looked at her quietly for a long time. Then he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. The driver consciously raised the barrier, cutting off the scene behind him. Li Xiwu was very obedient and allowed Pei Jingzhou to kiss her. Be it her eyebrows, nose, cheeks, or the last corner of her lips, she did not resist. There was no response either. Pei Jingzhou did not care if she responded. When the deep, loving kiss ended, he pulled her into his arms, his lips calming his breath in her ear. Are you disappointed in me? Li Xiwu lowered her eyes and did not reply. There was another silence. After a long time, Pei Jingzhou said, That day will come eventually C Li Xiwu spent the afternoon dealing with work. Only work could keep her mind clear and make her feel grounded. She was busy until around four oclock. She went to visit Ji Weilings production team. Ji Weiling was especially happy. Initially, she only treated Li Xiwu to milk tea, but because she was in a good mood, she treated the entire production team to milk tea. At night, Li Xiwu did not return to Lake Lu. She went to the small courtyard. Qiao Qiao was here too. Li Xiwu looked at the soup in the pot. Qiaoer, make the fire bigger. Qiao Qiao smiled as she added firewood. You use the induction cooker when youre alone. You start the fire when I come. Im impressed. Youre making my face gray. Li Xiwu thoughtfully took a tissue. Ill wipe it for you. When best friends were together, they barely talked about work. They talked about the present, about everything, and about privacy. After knowing what was on Li Xiwus mind, she said frankly, You only went on the in-law variety show after getting 400 million yuan for the divorce. In the end, not only did you get on good terms with your mother-in-law, but your relationship with your husband also improved a lot. Youre not rushing for a divorce, youre rushing for a two to four babies. Li Xiwu: She put down the spoon in her hand and turned to look at Qiao Qiao, who was sitting on the small bench and burning the fire. Forget about the first child. Two to four babies? Am I a sow? Qiao Qiao continued to add firewood. At this rate, if you dont have two or three babies, one baby wont be far away. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and her expression was a little serious. Perhaps. Even if Pei Jingzhou and I continue like this, we wont have children. Qiao Qiao understood. Of course. Who would have a child with someone who doesnt love them? Youd be stupid to have one. Li Xiwu looked at Qiao Qiao with a serious expression. Pei Jingzhou is infertile. The air went quiet. The only sound was the crackling of firewood. The topics between best friends were bold to begin with. The two of them chatted about everything in private. After about ten seconds, Qiao Qiao sat upright. Please tell me the details. Li Xiwu picked up a spoon and stirred the soup in the pot. She tasted it. There were several times when I didnt take precautions, just in case I wanted to get a contraceptive shot. Taking medicine is ultimately bad for your health. But before I got the shot, I went to the hospital for a checkup. Not only is it normal, but Im also susceptible to pregnancy. Qiao Qiaos eyes widened. She couldnt wait to continue. Please continue. Li Xiwu crossed her arms and supported her chin with one hand. But Ive never been pregnant, so I think Pei Jingzhou must be infertile. Qiao Qiao looked like she had eaten a melon. Damn! This is why Pei Jingzhou cant have children! Li Xiwu nodded. Then I quietly confirmed that I really wouldnt get pregnant, so I think my guess was right. After Qiao Qiao recovered from her surprise, she looked regretful. Tsk, President Peis family is rich, but its a pity that they dont have a descendant. Li Xiwu laughed. Dont they still have Pei Youan? Oh, thats true. Theres also Pei Youan. Qiao Qiao asked again, Does Pei Jingzhou know that he cant give birth? I just found out. Li Xiwu was not the one who answered. Instead, it was a voice from outside the door. Qiao Qiao shuddered. She turned around and looked at the man who had come in. She was frightened. President Pei! The corners of Li Xiwus mouth stiffened. Indeed, one could not speak ill of others behind their backs. But she didnt seem to be saying anything bad. It was a fact shed developed. Pei Jingzhou looked at the terrified Qiao Qiao from the corner of his cold eye. Are you surprised to see me? Qiao Qiao swallowed hard and laughed dryly. How could that be Hehe, please sit, President Pei. She laughed dryly as she stood up and slowly moved her feet out. She moved to Li Xiwus side and whispered, Didnt you say that today is our happy time? Why is Pei Jingzhou here? Uh Li Xiwu was speechless. She said that Pei Jingzhou would not come, but thats what she thought. Qiao Qiao looked at Pei Jingzhous Yama-like face and panicked. I-Ill go over and find some snacks to eat. Im craving it a little. She left after saying that. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhou walked over and said, I accidentally heard you mention that Im infertile? Chapter 129 - 129 Knowing One Truth 129 Knowing One Truth Li Xiwu turned, her expression unnatural. I was joking with Qiao Qiao. Pei Jingzhou walked behind her and silently hugged her from behind. Li Xiwus body suddenly stiffened. She took a deep breath and asked, Fourth Brother, are you angry? If youre angry about this, I apologize. Pei Jingzhous low voice sounded in her ear. You dont have to apologize. I really cant give birth. Li Xiwu: ? Pei Jingzhou said, So Im destined to have no descendants in this life. Ill be alone and helpless. Li Xiwu: If she didnt know about this, she definitely wouldnt believe Pei Jingzhous casual admission. However, she had personally confirmed this matter, so when Pei Jingzhou admitted it himself, her heart tightened for no reason. She couldnt tell what she was feeling. Honey, do you pity me? Pei Jingzhou asked her. Li Xiwu answered truthfully. A little. After answering, she pried open his wrist and turned around to ask, Is there a way to resolve infertility? Are you planning to never have a child? Pei Jingzhou curled his beautiful lips. Isnt it good to have no descendants? Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Its too early to say. Medical technology is advanced now. There might be a chance. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you having a child with me? Li Xiwu was stunned. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou took off the scarf around his neck and wrapped it around Li Xiwus neck. Its starting to become cold today. Cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep tonight. Ill leave first. Li Xiwu: ? He left just like that? Li Xiwu was stunned. Seeing that Pei Jingzhou had already walked to the door, she took two steps forward and called out, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou paused and turned to look at her. Yes? Li Xiwus lips moved. She wanted to ask him if he had eaten, but the words were still on her lips. Pei Jingzhou returned and hugged Li Xiwu. You didnt go home tonight, so I thought Id come over to take a look. Im relieved to confirm that youre here. Li Xiwus eyelids fluttered. After a light hug, Pei Jingzhou let go of her. Li Xiwu shouted again, Fourth Brother. She had nothing else to say. Be safe on the road, was all she said. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Okay. It had only been a few minutes since Pei Jingzhou came and left tonight. Li Xiwu thought that he would probably not leave tonight. Qiao Qiao might not feel comfortable staying. Who knew. He came over just to make sure she was here. Once he confirmed, he left. Li Xiwu was silent for a long time. The warmth on her neck spread to her limbs. The travel-worn figure kept appearing in her mind. Qiao Qiao leaned against the door frame. Damn, Pei Jingzhou actually left? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Yes. Qiao Qiao walked in and walked to Li Xiwus side. Did you argue? No, there didnt seem to be any noise just now. Pei Jingzhou left just like that. That shouldnt be the case. I thought I was the one who should leave. Li Xiwu focused. He came to make sure I was here. Qiao Qiao immediately fell silent. It was quiet for a long time. When they were at the table for dinner, Qiao Qiao spoke first to break the silence. Are you conflicted now? Li Xiwu ate her food. A little. Qiao Qiao said pertinently, If Pei Jingzhou can really live well with you, its not impossible. Li Xiwu picked up some food for Qiao Qiao. Lets not talk about this. After youre done, wash the dishes and go to bed early. I still have to record a variety show tomorrow. That 400 million is getting closer and closer to me. Qiao Qiaos eyes lit up when she heard 400 million. At the mention of washing the dishes, Qiao Qiao sighed. Im so miserable. Li Xiwu smiled. Alright, Ill wash. Qiao Qiao quickly said, No, no, no. Ill wash it. I can still tell the difference between having one delicious meal and having a lot of delicious meals. C The next day. Just as Pei Jingzhou had said, the temperature had dropped. As soon as she went out, cold air rushed into her neck from all directions. She tied the scarf Pei Jingzhou had brought her last night and rubbed her hands together. She felt warm and got into the car. Li Xiwu and Qiao Qiao didnt go in the same direction, and Qiao Qiao left earlier. Li Xiwu was alone when she went out. At a few minutes past eight, the car arrived in Fu Town. As soon as Li Xiwu got out of the car, she heard someone call her, Sister Li! Li Xiwu looked up and saw Xu Muzhen waving at her. She locked the car and walked over. When Xu Muzhen spoke, white mist came out of her mouth. Sister Li, youre early. It was because the day was too early. There was frost in the morning, so white fog would appear when she spoke. Li Xiwu said, Im not early. Obviously youre earlier than me. Xu Muzhen chuckled. Actually, my mother-in-law and I have only been here for a few minutes. By the way, your mother-in-law is here too. Xu Muzhen had just finished speaking. Han Qianye, who was wrapped in a black down jacket not far away, was rushing over. As soon as she arrived in front of Li Xiwu, she said, Xixi, I just learned a magic trick. Li Xiwu said, Magic? Yes, Han Qianye said. This magic trick is to make a strong wind blow in your mouth instantly. Xu Muzhen knew what Han Qianyes next step was. She laughed so hard that she held her waist. Hahahahaha Li Xiwu was a little stunned. She looked at Xu Muzhen, who was smiling, and then at the serious Han Qianye. How? Han Qianye said, Open your mouth first. Li Xiwu hesitated. Han Qianye said, Im not fooling you. Its really magic. Li Xiwu slowly opened her mouth. Han Qianye raised her hand and stuffed a candy into Li Xiwus mouth. Li Xiwu tasted it. Mints. Han Qianye blinked with anticipation. Is there wind in your mouth? Is it a gale? Li Xiwu: Later on, Li Xiwu learned that the mint was Xu Muzhens. Just because Xu Muzhen said to Xiang Lan that she felt a strong wind in her mouth every time she ate the mint, Han Qianye followed suit and turned around to tease Li Xiwu. There was a hawthorn tree on the other side of the inn. Xu Muzhen discovered it first. Xu Muzhen picked a few hawthorns for Li Xiwu. Before Li Xiwu ate them, Xu Muzhen tasted one herself and immediately narrowed her eyes. Li Xiwu, who was about to take a bite, saw Xu Muzhens expression and silently put away the hawthorn. Xu Muzhen shrunk her neck in sourness. Fu Town is good at everything, but the fruit is too sour. Shed tasted a little of the last grapefruit and almost had a trauma over it. The hawthorn picked today was on par with grapefruit. Miss Li! Gao Yueban waved his hand and shouted. Li Xiwu walked towards Gao Yueban. When she got closer, she heard Gao Yueban ask, Miss Li, have you greeted Miss Xue? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Yes. Gao Yueban was relieved. Thats good. After saying that, he casually said, As expected of someone who came out of nowhere. This Miss Xue is also from a wealthy family. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows in surprise. Did Xue Jinzhu still have the image of a wealthy family? However, she was not sure. Chapter 130 - 130 Ask Li Xiwu If She Minds Little Yous Existence 130 Ask Li Xiwu If She Minds Little Yous Existence The Xue family was not considered a wealthy family. However, they were relatively rich. Mr. Xue was a coal boss with connections in all directions. He had a mine, so Xue Jinzhu could be considered a proper rich lady. As the executive director of the variety show, Gao Yueban naturally knew about the appearance of Xue Jinzhu in the show. She was a combination mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, signed with Hua Guan, her manager was Li Xiwu, and so on He had just called Li Xiwu over to ask about this situation so that he could figure out something about Xue Jinzhu. Miss Xue and Master Tang should have contact in private, right? Gao Yueban asked. He was afraid that when the time came, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be too familiar with each other and would be ridiculed by the netizens. Li Xiwu didnt dare to be too sure. I dont think so. This time, the third group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came out of nowhere to save the situation. They came in a hurry. Dont worry about Tang Xian. Weve already communicated. Its not a big problem. Gao Yueban nodded. I dont have to worry about Master Tang. Its just that How is Miss Xue? Is she a troublemaker? Li Xiwu immediately understood why Gao Yueban suddenly wanted to chat with her. So he wanted to find out about Xue Jinzhu. After all, she was Xue Jinzhus manager. She knew Xue Jinzhu the best. She did not hide anything and told the truth. Director Gao, Xue Jinzhus personality is a little jumpy. For the next recording Director Gao, you might have to be more tolerant. Ill often communicate with her during the recording process and try to finish the recording as steadily as possible. These words were a precaution for Gao Yueban. As expected, the smile on Gao Yuebans face suddenly froze. Jumpy Then Miss Xue should listen to you, right? Li Xiwu replied calmly, Not necessarily. Gao Yueban swallowed his saliva. Its over. This person is a resource celebrity. Her father is so willing to spend money on her. If she quietly finishes recording the variety show, everyone will be happy. If the entire variety show is in chaos, then will my variety show be able to finish recording? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled faintly. The variety show should be able to finish recording. Director Gao, dont worry too much. With that, Li Xiwu asked, Xue Jinzhus resources were all spent on her by her father. Who did Director Gao hear it from? Gao Yueban said, I guessed. Li Xiwu: This chat worried Gao Yueban. He had thought that he could find Li Xiwu to understand Xue Jinzhus personality so that the program missions could be better tailored. In the end, he became even more worried. However, at this point, Gao Yueban mentioned something important. The first episode of our variety show has already been edited. The original plan was to broadcast it on the Wind Platform last night, but after Chi Xus incident, it cant be broadcast anymore. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. I know. As an insider, Li Xiwu naturally knew about this. If Chi Xu had not touched on a criminal case, the show would not have been affected. However, this matter had a huge impact. Chi Xu would still face prison. The previous episodes would definitely not be broadcast. It was a blessing in disguise that Mother-in-Law Joy was not implicated and stopped. Li Xiwu comforted him. Although there are some losses, the advantages are all displayed in the live broadcast. At least the results of the live broadcast are very good. Director Gao, imagine the consequences of the broadcast. The entire variety show might be banned in the end. The show can still be live broadcasted now. You should be satisfied. Yu Jing, who was walking over, chimed in, Miss Li is right. Yesterday, there were still internal staff who complained that we should finish recording the variety show before exposing Chi Xus bad deeds. It sounds like that, but if we expose it after the recording, the entire variety show will be banned. Its equivalent to working for nothing for half a month. Li Xiwu nodded. Yes, thats why I said it was lucky. Yu Jing suddenly said, By the way, we have to change the venue tomorrow. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows slightly. Yu Jing said, After what happened to Chi Xu, the internal department held a meeting overnight to discuss arranging something meaningful for the guests. Li Xiwu said, Such as? Gao Yueban answered, Doing charity. Doing charity was a very positive and simple thing. Moreover, many celebrities in the industry were doing public welfare. There were also celebrities who relied on public welfare to clear their names. However, Li Xiwu felt that the programs arrangement was not that simple. And the truth was indeed as she had thought. It was not that simple. C When Li Xiwu returned, Xu Muzhen and Xiang Lan had already returned to the inn. Only Han Qianye was waiting for her here. Seeing her return, Han Qianye took the initiative to hand her hand warmer to Li Xiwu. Im warm. Ill warm you up now. Li Xiwu refused. No need. Im not cold. Han Qianye said, I dont believe you. Li Xiwu was stunned. Han Qianye went forward and grabbed Li Xiwus hand. You still say youre not cold. Your hand is like ice. Li Xiwus eyebrows curved. Its natural to feel cold during autumn and winter. My body isnt cold. Han Qianye insisted on pushing the hand warmer to her. Its too heavy. Its difficult for me to hold it. Help me hold it. Li Xiwu: She knew that this was Han Qianyes good intentions. It was quite cold outside. Han Qianye suggested, Do you want to go in? She went to see what the production team had prepared for breakfast today. Li Xiwu nodded. Okay. As the two of them walked into the inn, there was no one else around. Li Xiwu took the opportunity to mention it now. Auntie, the four hundred million Hearing Li Xiwu take the initiative to mention the four hundred million, Han Qianye interrupted, Do you have any breakfast you especially want to eat? Ill talk to the kitchen. Li Xiwu shook her head and continued, I hope you wont go back on your word about the four hundred million. Han Qianyes heart stopped. She half smiled. I, Han Qianye, will never go back on my word. How can I go back on my word? Li Xiwu stopped short. Han Qianye stopped and turned to look at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu smiled formally and said to her, Auntie, lets work together happily. Han Qianyes heart skipped a beat again. She probed, Do you really want to divorce Jingzhou? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and didnt answer. If she answered yes, Han Qianye would probably spread this to Pei Jingzhou. It would probably be a little difficult to get 400 million yuan. Moreover, it would be very easy for Pei Jingzhou to know that Han Qianye had given her 400 million yuan. She was just afraid that Pei Jingzhou would interfere and she would not be able to get the 400 million yuan in the end. In order to protect the four hundred million from going down the drain, Li Xiwu didnt mean what she said. Im not impatient. Han Qianye heaved a sigh of relief. Thats good. Li Xiwu looked at Han Qianyes expression and said, But its impossible for Fourth Brother and I to walk to the end because Fourth Brother deserves better and someone whos more suitable for him. Li Xiwu thought there was nothing wrong with that. However, Han Qianye felt all kinds of heart attacks. She sighed calmly. How could he meet anyone better than you? With that, she looked at Li Xiwu again and asked carefully, Do you mind Little You? Chapter 131 - 131 Clear-headed Li Xiwu 131 Clear-headed Li Xiwu Li Xiwu frowned slightly. Han Qianye noticed this subtle change in expression. Actually, Little You is already in the past. Who doesnt have a past? No one lives in the past forever. Xixi, actually, youre already the exception in Jingzhou. He If Fourth Brother didnt live in the past, I wouldnt be standing in front of you now. Li Xiwu interrupted Han Qianye and said this truth. The atmosphere was clearly good a second ago. At this moment, it suddenly became a little cold. Li Xiwu did not intend to say anything else. She pursed her lips and smiled faintly. Ill go in first. Han Qianye nodded. After returning to her room, Han Qianye couldnt wait to take out her phone and call Lin Yourong, who was still sleeping in the morning. She called once but didnt answer. She called a second time. The call finally connected! Han Qianye said unhappily, Rongrong, why did you only pick it up now? Lin Yourongs weak voice came from the other end of the line. Qianye, look at the time yourself. Its only 8:30. Im not even up yet. Han Qianye said, Get up quickly. Lin Yourong turned around and sat up. Whats wrong? What happened? Han Qianye said aggrievedly, I feel that my sincerity has been wasted. This topic came out of nowhere. Lin Yourong could not tell what was going on for a while. She sighed and asked, Tell me, what did you experience in just a day? Han Qianye sighed. Do you think shell take the money and leave after the recording of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show is over? Hearing Han Qianyes words, Lin Yourong, who was still sleepy a second ago, became much more energetic the next second. Were you angered by Li Xiwu? Han Qianye said, Answer my question first. Lin Yourong did not hide her tone. Isnt it just what you want? Im just afraid that shell take the money and not go far. When the time comes, shell pester your son not to get a divorce. Speaking of which, you should be worried about this problem. Before Han Qianye could speak, Lin Yourong asked bluntly, You havent changed your mind, have you? Han Qianye dawdled for a long time without saying a word. Lin Yourong knew that she had guessed correctly. This Li Xiwu is quite good at bewitching people. Bewitching people? Han Qianye thought about it carefully. It had only been a few days, but her opinion of Li Xiwu had completely changed. From dislike to liking, there was almost no major turnaround. For a moment, Han Qianye doubted herself. Could it really be that Li Xiwu could bewitch people? She wrapped her fingers around her curly hair and asked in a muffled voice, Rongrong, you watched the live broadcast. What do you think of Li Xiwu from your point of view? Lin Yourong did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, she said, Its not very bad. Han Qianyes lips curved. The next second, she heard Lin Yourong say, But her personality is not likable. Look, when you interact with her, youre the one trying to please her. Do you know what this is called? This is called playing hard to get! Han Qianye: ! Can you describe it that way? Lin Yourong added fuel to the fire. Qianye, think about your identity. Li Xiwu isnt in a hurry to please you. She even neglects you in all sorts of ways. This way, you will think that she has a lot of personality. Gradually, you will be attracted to her fake personality. In fact, you are already under her control. As soon as Lin Yourong finished speaking, Han Qianyes eyes widened. Youre saying that Li Xiwu is controlling me? Lin Yourong immediately said, Obviously. Hearing this, Han Qianye began to doubt her life Lin Yourong felt that those words just now were still lacking. She continued to add fuel to the fire. Look, as long as Li Xiwu doesnt want a divorce, she will definitely curry favor with you in all sorts of ways in the show. She will flatter you and praise you until youre high up, and she will listen to you. She doesnt speak much, so she deliberately ignored you. If she really had a cold and distant personality, would she have interfered with the affairs of the third group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? No! No matter how well the Internet described her, it was actually just her methods! Dont be bewitched by her! Lin Yourong said a lot in one breath. Although she was woken up by Han Qianyes call, she seemed to have rehearsed these words many times in her heart. However, Han Qianye happened to call this morning. After saying this in one breath, Lin Yourong asked, Qianye, do you understand what I mean? Stay awake. Dont be deceived by the illusion Li Xiwu created for you! Han Qianye was skeptical. But Xixi Lin Yourong interrupted, What Xixi? Her name is Li Xiwu. Look, you even changed the way you addressed her unknowingly. Shes really controlling you. Han Qianye took a deep breath. Are you asking me to maintain my original attitude? Lin Yourong raised her voice a little. Of course. Its best to maintain your original attitude and stop calling her Xixi. She has a name, so just call her Li Xiwu. Shes really taking advantage of you. You cant spoil her. The call suddenly fell silent. Han Qianye fell silent. Lin Yourong called out a few times, Qianye? Qianye? Han Qianye did not respond. Actually, Han Qianye could tell that Lin Yourong was instigating her. There was one thing Han Qianye actually did not agree with, which was that Rongrong said that Li Xiwu was playing hard to get. Was she playing hard to get? She didnt feel a thing. She felt that Li Xiwu only wanted the four hundred million. Compared to being controlled, Li Xiwu was more willing to bow down for money! At this moment, Lin Yourong suddenly said, Do you still remember the last time you saw my niece, Lin Huan? Han Qianye said, Huh? It had only been a few days. How could she not remember! At this moment, Lin Yourong was in high spirits. Huanhuan has been talking about you since she went back. She even said that she wanted to customize a set of clothes for you. When youre done recording this episode, go to Huanhuans studio and measure your size? Han Qianye was not interested. I have plenty of clothes. Tell her not to trouble herself. Lin Yourong said shamelessly, She studied design to begin with. How is it troublesome? Its not troublesome at all. Moreover, this is Huanhuans gift. If you wear the clothes Huanhuan made for you and attend a fragrance party, it can be considered an advertisement for Huanhuan. The young lady has just returned from studying abroad and its difficult to start a business, so shes counting on meeting a benefactor. These words at least did not disgust Han Qianye as much as last time at Herti. She thought about it and decided that it was fine to be a benefactor to the young lady, so she agreed. Okay then. Lin Yourong took the opportunity to suggest, Why dont we do it tonight? Ill pick you up and bring you to Huanhuans studio. Han Qianye did not refuse and agreed. Alright, make the arrangements. On the other end of the line, Lin Yourong originally wanted to sleep again after ending the call. In this situation, what was the point of sleeping? She hurried and got up! Chapter 132 - 132 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Relationship Breach, Another Crisis 132 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Relationship Breach, Another Crisis The live broadcast officially started at nine this morning. The live-stream was not warmed up in advance, but as soon as it started, millions of people quickly surged in. Everyone sat at the dining table. The dining table was filled with breakfast prepared by the production team. It was very sumptuous. Xu Muzhen had been craving it for a long time. [Im so happy to see Sister Li early in the morning.] [I love Li Xiwu the most, and it was because of Li Xiwu that I have been watching the live broadcast on time.] [Without Xie Wen around, wont Sister Li be very bored?] [Theres an online rumor that the first and second episodes of Mother-in-Law Joys webcast cant be broadcast in the end. Im glad Im here for every live broadcast.] [Its just a rumor. I dont know if its true, but its probably not far from the truth. But this is good too. Someone like Chi Xu should disappear from the Internet forever. Its terrifying to see his face.] [Im looking forward to this episodes new mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I hope they show up soon.] [The official Weibo account really doesnt reveal who the new mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at all. Im looking forward to it.] [Every day, I ask, does Li Xiwu cook?] Li Xiwu also realized that Han Qianyes attitude towards her had become much colder. For example, just now, when she stood up to get the egg tarts, she also got one for Han Qianye. Han Qianye said calmly, I dont eat this. Realizing she hadnt asked first, Li Xiwu took the tart away. Han Qianye said, You dont have to worry about me. Just take care of yourself. Li Xiwu remained calm. Okay. Then they didnt speak again. Han Qianye did not do anything to attract her attention from time to time or find a topic to ask her anything like before. She was always very quiet. Li Xiwu naturally would not probe further into the reason for Han Qianyes change in attitude. Because in her opinion, Han Qianyes current attitude was in line with her original intention. Min Hanrong watched this scene calmly and recalled her conversation with her husband, Wu Xian, last night. At that time, she said in a sarcastic and playful tone, Han Qianye, the person who recorded the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show with me, played a joke on me today. She said that she could change the surname of the richest man in Hong Kong in three days. Wu Xian has been busy recently. There was no time to watch the live broadcast at all. It was already very late when he returned home. By then, the live broadcast had already ended. When he heard Min Hanrongs words, he couldnt help but laugh. Shes already so old, yet she cant control her mouth. Min Hanrong couldnt help but laugh. Yes, I didnt expect her to make such a joke. As she spoke, Min Hanrong opened Weibo on her phone. She found the live broadcast of the netizen and showed it to Wu Xian. This is her son, an executive of R.E. The last time I called you at night, I asked you, but you didnt watch the live broadcast at that time. Wu Xian took the phone. An executive at R.E. Then I dont think I remember much. Min Hanrong said, I think the identity of R.E.s executive is fake. After all, they dont dare to say anything higher. Hell be recognized. At a lower level, hell be embarrassed. The position of an executive doesnt sound too high or low. As she spoke, Min Hanrong couldnt help but laugh. To make the richest man in Hong Kong change his surname in three days. To think she can say that. Hehe Min Hanrong did not hear Wu Xians voice for a long time. She looked down and saw that her husband was looking at the live broadcast screen with a serious expression. Hubby, why arent you saying anything? Could he really be an executive of R.E? Or an executive you know? Wu Xian stood up and returned the phone to Min Hanrong. Suddenly, he reminded her in a serious tone, Listen to me. Be polite to her on the show. Dont provoke her. The smile on Min Hanrongs lips froze. What? Wu Xians expression was even more serious than before. I told you not to provoke her. Min Hanrongs expression changed drastically. Could it be that Han Qianyes sons identity is not an executive of R.E. but another identity? Wu Xian nodded solemnly. Hes not an executive at R.E. at all. Min Hanrong asked, Then his son is? Wu Xian only said three words. His surname is Pei. Pei? Min Hanrong did not react for a moment. So what if his surname was Pei? He wasnt an executive at R.E., but his surname was Pei. Why did her husband look so serious? There had to be something about this identity. However, who could threaten the identity of the Wu family in Xiangjiang? Seeing his wifes puzzled expression, Wu Xian also reacted. He sighed and reminded her, Have you forgotten that R.E belongs to the Pei Corporation? These words suddenly woke up the puzzled Min Hanrong. Pei Corporation! Pei! When she connected the dots, she immediately understood what he meant. Han Qianyes son is actually is, is he from the Pei Corporation? Min Hanrong was clearly shocked because she did not expect it to be the Pei Corporation Wu Xian said, I know your personality. Try to restrain yourself on the show in the future. Dont really anger her. If Pei Qingjis methods back then are used to deal with the Wu family now, my entire Wu family will have to bow. The Wu family of Xiangjiang was indeed glorious. He had been the richest man in Xiangjiang for twelve years. So far, no one has been able to shake him. But if it was the Pei family, the Wu family indeed did not dare to be arrogant in front of the Pei family. Min Hanrong still had a lingering fear. Its actually the Pei family. No wonder there hasnt been any discussion about Li Xiwus husbands true identity on the Internet Because all the rumors were dealt with immediately. Ever since she found out about Han Qianyes husbands background and came to Fu Town for the third episode, Min Hanrong had restrained herself a lot when she saw Han Qianye again. At this moment, Min Hanrong took the initiative to find a topic to chat with Han Qianye. Han Qianye replied casually, looking like she was not in a good mood. Li Xiwu, on the other hand, replied to Qiao Qiaos message as she ate her breakfast: [Its going to be an early departure tomorrow. About a three-hour flight.] Qiao Qiao replied: [Why so sudden?] Actually, it was not sudden, because the director had already told her that the place to be transferred tomorrow was Mount Liang, which was a place to do public welfare. The directors meaning was that there was no need for the guests to worry at all. The production team would arrange everything, and the purpose of doing public welfare was to establish positive energy. Qiao Qiao: [One episode is three days. Today, youre in Fu Town. The remaining two days should be in the mountains, right? Will the signal there be bad? Can the live broadcast be maintained?] Li Xiwu finished reading Qiao Qiaos WeChat message and slowly typed: [It should be fine. Ill spend almost the entire day on the road tomorrow. I should be back after doing the public service the day after tomorrow.] This time, it took Qiao Qiao a while to reply: [Bae, I just checked. It might snow heavily in Mount Liang next week. Be careful! Really! Be careful!] The words be careful were repeated a few times! Li Xiwu replied with an OKK emoji. After exiting WeChat, she also went to check the weather forecast for Mount Liang. It will indeed snow within a week, but it should be the day after the show is completed. After all, the production team would also look at the weather in advance. The safety problem shouldnt be too big. Chapter 133 - 133 Forgot To Read The Script. Exposed! 133 Forgot To Read The Script. Exposed! Under the anticipation of millions of online netizens, the third group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally arrived at the inn. Xue Jinzhu came in first. She wasnt pushing a suitcase. She was only carrying a Chanels Timeless handbag. She was wearing a cream-colored fur coat and a pair of small sheepskin boots. Her hair was curly, flirtatious, exquisite, and fashionable. As soon as she appeared in front of the camera, the netizens in the live-stream exploded [F*ck! I was killed by the beauty of the new guest.] [You dont even praise such beauty. What are you waiting for?!] [A plain guest. With Sisters looks, she can debut.] [I originally thought that Xie Wen would be replaced by a female celebrity. Although Im a little disappointed, the female guest is very likable. Shes my type.] Xue Jinzhu raised her hand to greet everyone. Hello, Im Xue Jinzhu. They all smiled back. Min Hanrong pulled open the empty seat beside her. Miss Xue, come and sit. Xue Jinzhu smiled shyly. Wait a minute. Auntie is still outside. [Wow, shes actually a sweet girl. Her voice is too sweet.] [Auntie? Why does she call her mother-in-law Auntie? Even if she doesnt call her Mom, she can call her Mother-in-law.] [I guess shes like Fan Lings group last season, still dating?] [I want to see the mother-in-Law. When will the mother-in-Law appear?] The comments in the live-stream were filled with anticipation and excitement. Under everyones anticipation, Tang Xian walked in. Tang Xian, who was already in her fifties, took good care of herself in private. Her every frown and smile were filled with a lingering temperament. After entering, Tang Xian nodded politely and greeted, Hello, everyone. Min Hanrong recognized Tang Xian at a glance and stood up. Master Tang? Everyone was stunned when she called her Master Tang. Min Hanrong stood up and walked towards Tang Xian. She held Tang Xians hands affectionately. Master Tang, I didnt expect to meet you on the show. Tang Xian naturally knew Min Hanrong. She smiled and said, Hanrong, long time no see. Min Hanrong reached out and gently hugged Tang Xian. Its been almost half a year since we last met. Tang Xian smiled. I think so. [Min Hanrong actually knows the new mother-in-law of Group Three? Who is this mother-in-law?] [Shes Master Tang! The number one embroidery palm in the embroidery industry! The national inheritor of intangible cultural heritage!] [Master Tang Xian is a very low-key person in private. She has relatively few interviews. It must have taken a lot of effort to invite Master Tang Xian this time.] [Wow! The mother-in-law of the third group is so influential?] [Im so looking forward to it. The show actually invited Master Tang!] Min Hanrong pulled Tang Xian over and sat down. Tao Jing considerately pulled open another empty seat. Miss Xue, sit down. Xue Jinzhu thanked her shyly. Thank you. Tao Jing clearly felt that the new third group was easier to get along with than the previous third group. Moreover, her mother-in-law knew the other partys mother-in-law in private. This Miss Xues personality was also especially good. She decided to build a good relationship with this Miss Xue. Xue Jinzhu placed the Timeless handbag behind her chair and took off her coat. The next second, Tao Jings eyes widened. Wow Miss Xue, your figure is so good. Xue Jinzhu looked very embarrassed at the praise. Its alright. I usually pay more attention to my figure management, but it still has a lot to do with being born with it. Tao Jing was stunned. Then, she added with a smile, Yes. Actually, many people with good figures, other than their usual self-restraint and management, the most important reason is their personal physique. No matter how much they eat, they wont gain weight. Xue Jinzhu grinned. Im that kind of person. I wont gain weight even if I eat and drink. Tao Jing was speechless. She felt 10,000 points of damage at once [At first glance, I felt that Xue Jinzhus figure under her coat must be very good. Im really impressed by my sharp eyes.] [10,000 critical hits. Im the kind of physique that will grow fat if I drink too much water.] [Xue Jinzhu looks like a cute and sweet girl. Im looking forward to her and Master Tangs group.] [I like such sweet and shy girls.] [The daughter-in-law is a sweet girl, and the mother-in-law is a master of embroidery. This combination is superb.] [Speaking of which, Master Tang seems to only have one son. I wonder if hell be on camera?] [Hahaha, Im lucky to meet Master Tangs son. Hes super handsome! Hes my senior!] [Ive also seen Master Tangs son. He really has the appearance of an immortal! Moreover, he was an influential figure in school in the past. I dont know what profession hes in now.] [Looking at it this way, I feel that Xue Jinzhu and Master Tangs son are compatible!] [I used to be a fan of husband and wife, but now Im fanning boyfriends and girlfriends. Im so happy.] Xue Jinzhus figure attracted a lot of male fans. Coupled with her shy personality when she first appeared, she was even more likable. Netizens even took a screenshot of Xue Jinzhus figure and posted it online. A topic called #Mother-in-Law Joys Third Group New Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law # gradually became popular. The atmosphere at breakfast was very good. No one mentioned Xie Wen, who had already left the variety show. Min Hanrong had been chatting with Tang Xian and occasionally mentioned something to Xiang Lan. Han Qianye did not say a word and just ate her breakfast quietly. Xue Jinzhu stole a glance at Li Xiwu from time to time. Every time Li Xiwu sensed her, she bared her teeth and smiled. Her smile was cute and endearing. It had to be known that Xue Jinzhus face belonged to the charming type. As it was the first day of the variety show today, President Qi had specially reminded her yesterday that she had to be like a proper woman. Therefore, she had put on makeup today and even changed her tone to hide her charm. At this moment, Min Hanrong suddenly asked her, Jinzhu, how long have you been with Lanshi? The smile on Xue Jinzhus lips froze. Lanshi? Who? How long had they been in love? How would she know! Oh no, I forgot to read the script carefully this morning! Its over, its over, its over, Its over At this moment, Xue Jinzhus mind was filled with the word its over. Although she was embarrassed, she kept a silly and sweet smile on her lips. Fortunately, Tang Xian spoke at this moment and calmly helped Xue Jinzhu out. Jinzhu is a little shy. Actually, Jinzhu and Lanshi have known each other for seven to eight years. At that time, they met in Country T When she heard about Country T, Li Xiwu, who was quietly eating breakfast, suddenly looked up. Tang Xian probably didnt know much about it. She just briefly explained the process of them getting to know each other. This process was probably: They met in Country T and became colleagues. After getting along, their relationship went further, and they became lovers. Li Xiwu had never read the scripts of the third group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so it was difficult for her to judge if what Tang Xian had just said came from the script arrangements of life or the story that really happened to his son. Chapter 134 - 134 Sweet Sister and Cold Beautys Couple! 134 Sweet Sister and Cold Beautys Couple! After Tang Xian finished speaking, Xue Jinzhu continued shyly, Shilan and I Tang Xian interrupted with a smile, You always like to call Lanshis name in reverse. Xue Jinzhu almost couldnt maintain the shyness on her face! It was fine if she didnt read the script, but even the name she had heard several times just now was reversed. Fortunately, Tang Xian reacted quickly and resolved such a small mistake in a second. Xue Jinzhu smiled awkwardly at first, then continued in all seriousness, Its mainly because Lanshi always goes against me. Im very angry. When Im angry, I call his name in reverse. Its easy to call him that. Tang Xian smiled kindly. Then why didnt you tell me? Ill deal with him. Xue Jinzhu continued, Alright, if Lanshi goes against me again, Ill complain to you immediately. The atmosphere was harmonious, and there were no loopholes at all. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. She had also been worried for Xue Jinzhu just now. Fortunately, Tang Xian reacted quickly. [Xue Jinzhu is so cute when shes shy.] [Its already polite to call his name backwards. Every time my boyfriend goes against me, Ill kick him directly. After kicking him, Ill scold him for being a fool!] [I feel that Tang Xian will definitely be a good mother-in-law. Embroidery tests patience the most. Patient people have good tempers.] [When Xue Jinzhu was too embarrassed to say it just now, Tang Xian immediately helped her out.] [Senior Lanshi is also very outstanding, and hes very accomplished now! Our teacher will always mention him as our role model. Looking at it this way, I feel that Senior Lanshi and Xue Jinzhu are very compatible.] [Perhaps after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show ends, Xue Jinzhu will become an official daughter-in-law.] [I only know that Senior Lanshi is obsessed with devoting himself to the country. I really hope Senior Lanshi will also participate in this variety show. Hahaha.] Tang Xians son, Gu Lanshi, did not have any relevant information online. The only photo or two that could be found online were blurry photos taken on the wall of the school photo. However, anyone who knew Tang Xian would know that she had an outstanding son called Gu Lanshi. C After breakfast, Li Xiwu helped clear the dishes. Xue Jinzhu sat still. She never did this, but at this moment, she suddenly remembered President Qis instructions: Behave, be diligent, and be quiet! On the first day of filming, she had been obedient and quiet. Although the meaning was similar, her diligence had yet to show. So she quickly got up and diligently went to help. Miss Li, let me take this. Xue Jinzhu reached over first and picked up the plate. When Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhu, she would smile sweetly. Li Xiwu said, Miss Xue Xue Jinzhu smiled obediently. It sounds too unfamiliar to call me that. Were going to record a show together next. Miss Li, just call me Jinzhu. Li Xiwu said, Xue Jinzhu. Xue Jinzhu smiled brightly. Yes, Miss Li, youre so beautiful today. Oh right, I forgot to tell you that Im your fan. Li Xiwu: [Hahaha, Xue Jinzhu, this little cutie, making Sister Li speechless.] [Help, I realized that I like Xue Jinzhu so much!] [Let me tell everyone secretly. Actually, the CP between Sweet Sister and Cold Beauty can also be done!] [I still remember that when Mother-in-Law Joy first started broadcasting, only Xu Muzhens personality was a little more open. Now that theres Xue Jinzhu, my appetizer variety show has become even more interesting.] There were no missions scheduled in the morning. Todays main mission was in the afternoon. Because the third group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were new and were not familiar with the environment in Fu Town, the other mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws would bring the two of them to familiarize themselves with the surroundings. Xue Jinzhu took the initiative to ask, Miss Li, can I trouble you to bring Auntie Tang and me outside to familiarize ourselves with the environment? Before Li Xiwu could agree, Min Hanrong smiled and suggested, Ill do it. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and looked as usual. Its better like that since Aunt Min and Aunt Tang know each other. Tang Xian had nothing to say. Anyone could take care of her. Xue Jinzhu naturally only wanted Li Xiwu and almost retorted. President Qis instructions flashed through her mind, but she obediently suppressed her retort. In the end, the four of them, Xue Jinzhu, Tang Xian, Min Hanrong, and Tao Jing, left. Originally, Tao Jing did not have to go, but Min Hanrong pulled her away, leaving only Group Two and Group Four in the inn. Xiang Lan sat on the sofa and read. Han Qianye pulled out a book and sat down beside Xiang Lan. The two of them read and discussed health issues from time to time. [Im not used to Han Qianye suddenly being so quiet.] [Did everyone notice? Brainless isnt too happy today.] [When Xiang Lan said that she was taking care of her health, I realized that Han Qianye actually didnt listen at all.] [According to the official Weibo, the plant expert, Miss Cheng, will appear on the show today?] [Wow, Im looking forward to it.] Xu Muzhen was really an active person, so she naturally could not calm down and read. She spun outside and suddenly shouted, I saw a lynx! Xiang Lan and Han Qianye stood up at the same time and put down their books. Then, they walked out together. When the two of them came out, the lynx was already gone. Han Qianye asked, Wheres the lynx? Xu Muzhen spread her hands. I shouted too loudly and scared it away. Xiang Lan smiled. Most probably because of the new guests. The lynx is here to watch the show. Xu Muzhen agreed with her mother-in-law. I think so too. At this moment, Li Xiwu returned with a basket of hawthorn. Xiang Lan asked, Xiwu, why did you pick so many hawthorns? Li Xiwu was walking up the steps when she replied, I promised Muzhen this morning to make a few sticks of candied hawthorn. Xu Muzhen smiled until her teeth were visible. That hawthorn is too sour to eat directly. At that time, I casually said that it would be good if it could be made into candied hawthorn. Guess what happened? Heh, Sister Li knows how to make it! At this moment, Li Xiwu had already walked up from the bottom of the steps. Xiang Lan asked in surprise, Xiwu, you even know how to make candied haws? Li Xiwu really didnt know how to respond. The main thing was that the cooking of the candied hawthorn was really very simple. There were a few steps, and it was as easy as cooking. Her expression was as usual. Auntie Xiang, do you want some? Although Xiang Lan paid attention to her diet, she could never refuse food like candied hawthorn. She nodded first and said, Ill learn from you. Xu Muzhen raised her hand. I want to learn too. After I learn to make candied hawthorn, I make some for Liang Sheng, haha. Li Xiwu smiled and replied, Okay. Only Han Qianye did not speak. It was indeed very simple to make candied hawthorn. The two most important ingredients, hawthorn and rock sugar, were enough. This was the most basic and simple method. If she made it herself, she could add some filling. Chapter 135 - 135 Han Qianye Slapping Her Own Face! 135 Han Qianye Slapping Her Own Face! Han Qianye did not intend to join in the fun. She returned to the sofa and sat down to continue reading. In the end, she became even more frustrated as she read. She could not control her feet at all and moved to the kitchen. At this moment, the live broadcast camera was facing Li Xiwu. Based on the combined experience of the previous two episodes, they knew that Li Xiwu was about to show off her skills. They quickly took out their notebook and began to record the process [The candied hawthorn method is too simple. I wont record it in a small notebook. Ill record the screen directly.] [Li Xiwu is too omnipotent. She can really cook.] [Best friends should find someone like Li Xiwu. They have to marry someone like Li Xiwu.] [Looking at Sister Lis skilled technique, I unknowingly thought of Mother Dragon again.] Li Xiwus rock sugar candied hawthorn had red bean paste filling in the middle. Because there were not many hawthorns, in order to ensure that everyone could eat candied hawthorn, there were only two candied hawthorns in each skewer. After washing the hawthorn, she cut it open and removed the core. Then, she filled the middle of the hawthorn with the mashed red bean paste filling. Finally, she put them together and strung them on a bamboo skewer. The rock sugar was heated in the pot with water in a ratio of 1:1. When the rock sugar fused with the water and the concentration deepened, they could put the skewered candied hawthorn in the pot and roll it around to ensure that every candied hawthorn was wrapped in rock sugar before picking it up. She made a skewer and placed it on the chopping board beside her. In the end, she made a total of ten sticks of candied hawthorn. Xu Muzhen had been drooling from watching for a long time. She reached out to take it. Li Xiwu stopped her. Wait! Xu Muzhens outstretched hand paused. Isnt it done? Li Xiwu explained, The rock sugar hasnt solidified yet. It has to cool for a few minutes. When its cool, every bite will be crisp. Xu Muzhen retracted her outstretched hand and scratched her ear. Im too greedy. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. After skewering the last candied hawthorn, she skewered it with a bamboo skewer. After wrapping it in the rock sugar in the sugar pot, she held the bamboo skewer and rubbed it in her palm. The moment the icing spread, it turned into silk and crisscrossed the candied hawthorn. In an instant, it became a thready candied hawthorn. Li Xiwu handed the thready candied hawthorn to Xu Muzhen. This doesnt have to be cold. You can eat it directly. Xu Muzhens eyes widened. Miss Li Li Xiwus smile was gentle. Take it. Xu Muzhen was flattered and stretched out her hands to take it. To be honest, Xu Muzhen was so touched that she didnt know what to say. When she casually said that she wanted to eat candied hawthorn, Sister Li really made it. She was too greedy and anxious to eat it, so Sister Li made the last candied hawthorn into a thready candied hawthorn for her. Sister Li was really too good. She was not only good to Xie Wen, but to everyone else. [Sister Li is always the best!] [This is why Li Xiwu has gained a lot of female fans this time. Whether she has a friendship with her or not, she will treat you sincerely.] [Sister Li is just warming up slowly. Actually, shes good to everyone. Shes just used to doing it silently.] [Xu Muzhen is dumbfounded. If it were me, I would cry too. Sister Li is really too good.] [I really want to eat a bite of Sister Lis candied hawthorn.] [Speaking of which, is there anything Li Xiwu doesnt know!] [Fourth Brother is in danger. Sister Li is being targeted by the entire Internet, and it doesnt matter if shes male or female.] Xu Muzhen took a bite of the thready candied hawthorn. The expression on her face spread visibly. Li Xiwu asked, How is it? More sour or sweet? Xu Muzhens face was filled with happiness. Its sour and sweet. Its just right. Li Xiwu said, Just right? Xu Muzhen nodded. Yes, yes. Han Qianye, who had been silent at the side, looked at the skewers of sparkling candied hawthorn and swallowed. She wondered if it was really that delicious. It was just candied hawthorn. It was sweet on the outside and sour on the inside. In any case, it tasted the same. No, no, not a bite. She wouldnt eat it unless Li Xiwu gave it to her herself. The heat in the inn was very strong, so it would take longer for the rock sugar to solidify. Li Xiwu saw that Xu Muzhen was really craving for it, so she took the candied hawthorn outside the inn. Xu Muzhen stayed by her side. Counting that it was about time, Xu Muzhen quickly asked, Can we eat now? Li Xiwu looked at it too. Its ready to eat. Xu Muzhen smiled like a child. She picked up a skewer of candied hawthorn and stuffed it into her mouth. She took it one at a time with a very satisfied expression. While she was eating, Xu Muzhen did not forget to get a skewer for her mother-in-law. Seeing that Auntie Han and her mother-in-law were sitting together, Xu Muzhen took two skewers in. Mom, Sister Lis candied haws could be eaten. Xiang Lan quickly put down the book in her hand and stood up to take the stick of candied hawthorn. She praised sincerely, The color is so beautiful. Xu Muzhen still had more than half a candied hawthorn in her cheek. She said incoherently, Not only is the color good, but its also delicious. With that, Xu Muzhen handed the other skewer to Han Qianye. Auntie Han, this is for you. Han Qianye looked at the skewer of beautiful candied haws in Xu Muzhens hand and swallowed silently. She said stubbornly, I dont like sweet things. Xu Muzhens moving cheeks suddenly stopped. She looked at Han Qianye and asked in a muffled voice, Auntie Han, dont you eat candied hawthorn? Han Qianye looked away from the stick of candied hawthorn and said firmly, You can eat it. I dont eat sweet things. Xu Muzhen retracted her hand. Then I wont stand on ceremony. Han Qianye nodded. Xu Muzhen ran outside. Sister Li, your mother-in-law doesnt eat sweet things. She said that she gave me this stick of candied hawthorn. Li Xiwu said, Theres plenty of candied hawthorn. Well make more if its not enough. Theres still hawthorn on the tree. There will be enough. Xu Muzhen couldnt stop smiling. She puffed out her cheeks and said, Thank you, Sister Li. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. As she smiled, the smile on her lips slowly faded. She remembered that after spending some time with Han Qianye, it was true that Han Qianye could not eat spicy food, but Han Qianye liked sweet food With that in mind, Li Xiwu took a stick of candied hawthorn in. Han Qianye had noticed it from the corner of her eye when Li Xiwu came in with the candied hawthorn. She pretended to be reading seriously, but she did not read a word in the entire book. Until Li Xiwu walked to her and handed her the candied hawthorn. The candied hawthorn is ready, Mom. Do you want some? Han Qianyes heart trembled when she called her Mom. She straightened and glanced sideways at Li Xiwu. For me? Li Xiwu said, Yeah. Han Qianye pretended to be serious. I didnt want to eat it at first. I get sick of sweet food when I see it. Since youve brought it over, Ill try one. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Just as Han Qianye was about to take the stick of candied hawthorn, a hand suddenly reached over and took the stick of candied hawthorn from Li Xiwus hand. Han Qianye: ? The person who took the candied hawthorn was Xue Jinzhu, who had just returned. At this moment, Xue Jinzhu held the skewer of candied hawthorn and tilted her head to lean on Li Xiwus shoulder. Her voice was delicate and soft. Wow, I have candied hawthorn to eat as soon as I come back. Thats great. Thank you, Sister Li ~ With that, Xue Jinzhu looked at Han Qianye and blinked her innocent eyes. Auntie, I really want to eat candied haws. You wont be angry if you give me this stick, right? Han Qianyes face turned green! Chapter 136 - 136 Debut In The Morning! Retire In The Afternoon! 136 Debut In The Morning! Retire In The Afternoon! Han Qianye was very angry, but she could not show it too obviously. Otherwise, it would seem like she was not magnanimous! After calming down a little, Han Qianye said, I dont mind. I told you just now that I dont like sweet things. Theyre too greasy. You can eat them. Xue Jinzhu said happily, Ah? So Auntie doesnt like sweet food. I felt a little guilty at first. Thats great. Thank you, Auntie. Han Qianye was speechless. Why didnt she see guilt written on the other partys face? [Isnt Xue Jinzhu a little rude?] [Miss Pig, please continue to maintain your sweet persona.] [Brainless was already unhappy today. Now shes even more unhappy. Im dying of laughter.] [Lets guess why Brainless is unhappy today.] [Brainless doesnt like to eat sweet food. Actually, Xue Jinzhu can be considered to have shared her burden!] [Why do I feel that Han Qianye was waiting for Li Xiwu to give it to her? In the end, Xue Jinzhu intercepted her] Xue Jinzhu ate very politely. She took small bites. It was also very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. After taking a small bite, Xue Jinzhu said, Sister Li, the candied hawthorn you made is the best Ive ever eaten. It was extremely easy to change the way she addressed her from Miss Li to Sister Li. Li Xiwus lips thinned. Im glad you like it. Xue Jinzhus expression was very obedient. She took the opportunity to find a topic. Sister Li, actually, Im a very timid person. I dont know much about going on shows and dont know how to express myself. Its easy for me to say and do something wrong. These words automatically made people like her. After saying that, Xue Jinzhu asked, Can I look for Sister Li for anything I dont know? Li Xiwu looked calm. Sure. Xue Jinzhu immediately smiled. Thats great. Sister Li, I really like you, but Auntie Han wont be angry if I pester you like this, right? Han Qianye, who was suddenly called out again: ..? Before Li Xiwu could speak, Xue Jinzhu took another bite of the candied hawthorn. She looked sweet and seductive. But I have no choice. I really like Sister Li too much. I just want to pester her. Ahem! Li Xiwu looked away and coughed lightly, hinting at Xue Jinzhu not to go overboard. Xue Jinzhu immediately restrained herself. [Miss Pretentious Pig!] [So I dont hate pretentious bitch, I just hate pretentious bitch for not pestering me.] [This is the first time I dont hate a pretentious bitch so much after seeing Xue Jinzhu.] [Pretentious bitch? (Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!) What? Pretentious Bitch Likes Me? (Saliva! Saliva! Saliva!)] [If the person Pretentious Bitch is trying to please is me, to be honest, I cant refuse!] When Han Qianye saw the pretentious Xue Jinzhu sticking to Li Xiwu, her eyes almost rolled to the sky. What future daughter-in-law? She was clearly a vixen! Even if she died, she would never let Xue Jinzhu be her future daughter-in-law. Otherwise, she would be angered to death in advance! C No one came near noon. Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu, whom the netizens were looking forward to, did not appear. According to the production teams arrangements at noon today, each of the four groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to cook a dish. Moreover, they had to cook for themselves the entire time. The mother-in-law could not participate in the daughter-in-laws cooking, and the daughter-in-law could not interfere with the mother-in-laws cooking. Without a doubt, Li Xiwus culinary skills had become the most anticipated. [I can see Sister Li officially cooking again. Im so happy.] [Guess what Li Xiwu is going to cook for lunch today?] [I wonder how Master Tang Xians culinary skills are?] [Xiang Lans culinary skills are alright. Min Hanrongs culinary skills are too plain. Han Qianyes culinary skills make dogs shake their heads.] [Xu Muzhen and Tao Jing dont seem to know how to cook. Its obvious that the new Miss Pig doesnt know how to cook. Sister Li is indeed in the center today.] [In that case, doesnt Li Xiwu steal the limelight too much?] Most of the netizens were looking forward to what Li Xiwu would cook today. A small number of netizens felt that Li Xiwus culinary skills were the best. A good in-law variety show had completely become Li Xiwus home ground. But there was no choice. Li Xiwu has been too popular recently. Many passers-by suddenly became Li Xiwus fans because of a recording on the Internet or a few words. Then, they came to watch the live broadcast, so much so that their popularity soared When Xue Jinzhu heard that everyone had to cook for themselves at noon, she almost couldnt control her expression. She quickly asked where the bathroom was and pulled Tang Xian to accompany her. After leaving the camera, Xue Jinzhu turned off the microphone. Before I came, I didnt say that I had to cook for myself. What can I do? Burn the kitchen? Tang Xians eyebrows twitched. You dont even know how to pretend? Xue Jinzhu said, Please! If possible, I hope someone will feed me when I eat. Cook? Ill never learn to cook in my life. Tang Xian reminded her, Someone feeds you when you eat. Its usually cerebral palsy. Of course, there are also people with serious internal organ diseases who cant take care of themselves that need someone to feed them. Xue Jinzhu: Tang Xian looked at Xue Jinzhu and said earnestly, Since youre on the variety show, put away your identity as a young lady. If you dont know anything, learn it. If you dont know, ask. Its not like Im asking you to farm. These things are still very simple. The words coming out of Tang Xians mouth were very simple. But it wouldnt be easy to do it. Xue Jinzhu wanted to refute, but in the end, she swallowed her words. She thought for a few seconds, then said in a negotiating tone, Auntie Tang, can you let me take it easy on me later? Tang Xian smiled helplessly. Alright, but I still have to remind you to read the script seriously. Lanshis personality and hobbies, what his work is, and his height. When the other guests start a topic and you dont know anything, wont the audience see that were a fake mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Xue Jinzhu pouted. But my memory isnt good. I cant remember much after reading the script. Tang Xian said, Then memorize it. Xue Jinzhu said, Im brainless. Tang Xian looked at Xue Jinzhu seriously. Its not easy for you to live so long. At this point, Tang Xian gave Xue Jinzhu a heads-up. Although you have nothing to do with Lanshi, were a combination mother-in-law and daughter-in-law now, so I have the obligation to remind you. You probably dont want to debut in the morning, be exposed at noon, apologize in the afternoon, and retire at night, right? Xue Jinzhu: Fuck! This one-stop service directly crushed her! On the way out, Xue Jinzhu asked, Auntie Tang, will your son appear on the variety show in the future? Ive never seen him before. What if he suddenly appears and I dont know him? Tang Xian took out her phone. I have a photo of Lanshi. Take a look first. With that, Tang Xian took out her phone and opened the photo album. After searching for a long time, she finally found a photo of Gu Lanshi. After clicking on the photo, Tang Xian handed the phone to Xue Jinzhu. This is my son, Gu Lanshi. Chapter 137 - 137 The Talented Li Xiwu 137 The Talented Li Xiwu Xue Jinzhu felt that Auntie Tang was elegant and beautiful, and her sons looks should not be bad, right? After seeing Gu Lans photo, it actually exceeded her expectations! It wasnt that he was too ugly to look at, but Damn! Auntie Tang, is this really your son? Even Xue Jinzhu, who was used to seeing all kinds of handsome men, could not help but be shocked when she saw Gu Lanshis photo. He was too handsome! Tang Xian was very proud to see Xue Jinzhus reaction. As a mother, her son was shockingly handsome. She would definitely feel a little proud. Tang Xian said, Yes, hes my son, Gu Lanshi. Xue Jinzhu took the phone from Tang Xians hand and stared at the person in the photo carefully. As she looked at it, she accidentally became infatuated. Damn, Auntie Tang, your son is so handsome. It was said that photos were always better-looking than the real person! However, Xue Jinzhu felt that Gu Lanshi must be the same type as the photo. She thought so profoundly. At this moment, Tang Xian said, Thats a photo of Lanshi in high school. Xue Jinzhu: ? A high school photo? Seeing Xue Jinzhus stunned expression, Tang Xian thought that she was doubting the authenticity of the photo. Lanshi doesnt like to take photos. This is the only photo of him in my phone. If you dont believe me, you can search online. Theres only this one online. Xue Jinzhu silently handed the phone back to Tang Xian and said in a very honest tone, In high school, his looks were relatively inexperienced and tender. Its understandable that hes good-looking, but your son graduated many years ago, right? After experiencing the baptism and destruction of society, he might already be Mediterranean. Tang Xian: Although Tang Xian wanted to say that her son was even more handsome than before, she knew that Xue Jinzhu would not believe her, so she simply stopped talking. The mother and daughter-in-law returned to the camera. Tang Xian began to choose the ingredients for lunch today. Xue Jinzhu was originally following behind Tang Xian. She looked up and saw Li Xiwu choosing ingredients. She immediately turned around and went to Li Xiwu. Sister Li, what are you planning to cook for lunch today? Xue Jinzhu leaned over and asked. Li Xiwu glanced at the many ingredients in front of her. I havent thought about it yet. Xue Jinzhu began to guess. Is it boiled meat slices or stir-fried beef? Hmm Xue Jinzhus eyes darted around. Is it Caz Crispy Chicken Cutlet or Dried Pot Chicken Wings? Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Is this all you want to eat? Xue Jinzhu giggled. Do I have it if I want to eat it? Li Xiwu was calm. No. The smile on Xue Jinzhus face disappeared and she said seriously, Wow, Im also very happy to be rejected by Sister Li. Li Xiwu: Li Xiwu was not annoyed by Xue Jinzhus various closenesses. This was because she knew Xue Jinzhus personality and knew that she did not have any bad intentions. She was just a chatterbox and could not control her mouth at all. No wonder President Qi found her noisy. C Min Hanrong chose a piece of brisket among the many ingredients and planned to make a tomato stewed brisket. She learned this dish at the last minute yesterday. She had learned 70 to 80% of it and could barely take it out. Tao Jing couldnt do anything complicated, so she chose broccoli. Xiang Lan chose a bass and prepared to steam it. The meat of the bass was fresh and tender, and it had few thorns. It was most suitable for steamed fish. Xu Muzhen chose the only shredded potato she knew, but it wasnt very good to cut it, so Xiang Lan helped. Tang Xians culinary skills were very good. She made braised sliced pork with preserved mustard vegetable, which was considered a big dish. Xue Jinzhu chose red date steamed pumpkin. Actually, she did not choose it herself. Tang Xian chose it for her and would teach her how to do it. There was basically no need for any technique. Finally, it was Han Qianye and Li Xiwu. Han Qianye did not have any culinary skills, so she randomly chose two cucumbers and planned to make a cucumber salad. Although it was too simple, she really did not know how to make other dishes. The mushroom egg soup last time was terrible, and she was still traumatized. [Im looking forward to Master Tang showing off her skills!] [I didnt expect Master Tang to be able to hold an embroidery needle and cook.] [Min Hanrong has greatly improved this episode. Haha, it was too plain last time. She must have practiced it secretly when she went back.] [I can tell that Miss Pig doesnt know anything, but shes so obedient. Shell do whatever Tang Xian says.] [Cucumber salad hahahahaha Brainless is starting to show off again.] [Its fine. Unhappy will help Brainless win a round!] [Im looking forward to Sister Li choosing what ingredients to make.] Under the anticipation of millions of netizens in the live-stream, Li Xiwu chose a piece of tofu among the many ingredients. Yes, tofu! [Ah? Li Xiwu is making tofu again?] [If she hadnt made a table full of dishes last time, I would have thought that she only knew how to make Mapo Tofu.] [Whats so good about tofu? Sister Li, change the dish.] [I feel that tofu tastes the same no matter how its made, except Mapo Tofu.] [If she makes another Mapo Tofu this time, Ill like it too. Ill like anything Sister Li does. Im Sister Lis die-hard fan.] After Li Xiwu took a piece of tofu, she sliced it, blanched it, and added salt. After draining it, she placed it in the fridge. Then she mixed the sauce. The sauce was more meticulous. She added it bit by bit, but it didnt take long. The sauce was ready quickly. It was so simple that it was done in one go. Because she could not participate in other peoples dishes, Li Xiwu had nothing to do after doing her own thing. Therefore, when everyone was busy, only Li Xiwu was idle. Han Qianyes cucumber salad was also ready. She was the second guest to finish cooking after Li Xiwu. Xiang Lan noticed. Qianye, is your cucumber salad ready? Han Qianye looked at the beautiful cucumber salad in front of her and felt a sense of accomplishment. Its done. Xu Muzhen looked over. Wow, its crisp and delicious. Min Hanrong also came over to interfere. Qianye, this cucumber salad you made is very standard. The smile on Han Qianyes lips disappeared. Min Hanrong did not want to imply Han Qianye. She was just praising her forcefully, but the outcome was very awkward, as if she was watching a joke, although she was indeed watching a joke. Wheres Xiwu? Min Hanrong asked, I saw Xiwu take a piece of tofu just now. Is Xiwu planning to make Mapo Tofu again? Han Qianye shook her head. I dont know. Han Qianye really did not know. She did not pay attention to what Li Xiwu was doing just now, nor did she look. Other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would exchange a few words, but she and Li Xiwu were like two complete strangers. Around twelve-thirty, all the dishes were served. Every dish was served on the dining table one after another. Pork brisket with tomatoes, steamed bass, braised pork with preserved vegetables, cucumber salad, shredded potatoes, blanched broccoli, steamed pumpkin with red dates, and white tofu. The table was full and very rich. Everyone looked at the white tofu Li Xiwu had made and was a little surprised. They had thought that Li Xiwu would take the opportunity to show off her skills and crush everyone, but she had made the most vegetarian white tofu. No, this white tofu was equivalent to not being made. It had just been taken out of the fridge. After setting it up, there was a plate of sauce. Seeing this, the netizens were greatly disappointed! Chapter 138 - 138 Surprise Everyone Again! Form Is The Most Important! 138 Surprise Everyone Again! Form Is The Most Important! [The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment!] [I thought Li Xiwu was brewing and waiting for everyone to be ready before showing off. In the end thats it?] [Is Sister Li in a bad mood today? Brainless beside her doesnt look like shes in a good mood today.] [Did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel?] [Sister Li, you cant be like your mother-in-law. This white tofu is really] [Although I like Sister Li very much, Sister Lis perfunctory attitude is indescribable.] Many netizens were complaining about Li Xiwus lousy performance today. She clearly did not show off her good culinary skills, but in the end, she only made plain tofu. Even Han Qianye was very surprised. She looked up at Li Xiwu and saw her sitting down calmly. When she sensed her gaze, she looked up at her and smiled without saying anything. Xue Jinzhu pulled out the seat beside Li Xiwu and sat down. Sister Li, Ill sit with you. Li Xiwu said, Whatever. Han Qianye could not understand what Li Xiwu was thinking. She pulled out the seat beside her and sat down quietly. The two most outstanding dishes on the dining table today were Min Hanrongs stewed beef brisket with tomatoes and Tang Xians braised pork with preserved vegetables. Min Hanrong asked Tang Xian about the way to make braised pork with preserved vegetables. Just now, everyone was doing their own things, so they did not see Tang Xian make pork with preserved vegetables. Tang Xian generously explained the tutorial method. Everyone was listening carefully. The sensible netizens had already started recording. During the meal, because no one liked to eat white tofu, there were no two people to pick up the white tofu slices Li Xiwu made. However, in order to give them face, they each picked up a piece. Hiss Min Hanrong took a bite of the white tofu slice and asked Li Xiwu, Xiwu, why is this tofu a little cold? Li Xiwu answered, Just got it out of the fridge. Min Hanrong stopped eating and placed the remaining tofu slices aside. Its not good to eat something too cold in this weather. Tang Xian added, Just eat less. Besides, you probably didnt dip it in the sauce just now. Not only did Min Hanrong not dip the tofu slices in the sauce, but no one else did. Li Xiwu said at the right moment, The white tofu is indeed tasteless. It will taste a little better with a little sauce. Only then did everyone dip the sauce again. Xue Jinzhu picked up a piece of tofu and waved it over her chopsticks. The tofu slice was very tender, but it would not spread. When cooking, the heat was controlled well and was more tenacious. She dipped it in the sauce and placed it in her mouth. Then, her eyes slowly widened. Wow Everyone looked at Xue Jinzhu, who suddenly exclaimed. Tang Xian asked with a smile, Is the Qianye Ice Tofu dipped in sauce delicious? Everyone was stunned, especially Han Qianye. At first, no one cared what the name of Li Xiwus white tofu was. They only felt that it was a white tofu slice that was too light and did not have much of an appetite. Xue Jinzhu asked in surprise, This dish is called Qianye Ice Tofu? Tang Xian nodded. Yes. Xue Jinzhu finished a piece and picked up another piece to dip in the sauce. This sauce is so delicious. Of course itll be good, because the point of this dish is that the sauce is well mixed. Tang Xian was knowledgeable. She had known which dish it was since Li Xiwu cut the tofu, blanched it, and put it in the fridge. The others also tasted the tofu slices dipped in sauce. Xu Muzhen was very surprised. Wow, the cold tofu slices are mixed with the sweetness and spiciness of the sauce. It tastes amazing. Xiang Lan was also stunned. Its indeed delicious. Tao Jing praised, Last time, what stunned me was Mapo Tofu with an alluring color. This time, its Qianye Ice Tofu. Its all tofu. There are two completely different flavors. At first, Min Hanrong felt that the white tofu slice was too cold after tasting it. She picked up another piece and dipped it in the sauce before putting it in her mouth. She was immediately surprised. This taste was indeed stunning. How was this sauce mixed? The coldness fused with the sauce and the taste became very good! This was an unexpected method! Tang Xian called out, Xiwu. Li Xiwu looked up at Tang Xian, who was calling her. Tang Xian said, Before I came to the show, I also watched the live broadcast. Everyone knows how good your culinary skills are. Actually, I know you deliberately restrained yourself today just to give me the limelight. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. I just couldnt think of anything good to do, so I made a random dish. Random? Xue Jinzhu smiled. Qianye Ice Tofu. At first glance, I thought this was a dish for Auntie Han. Han Qianye, who was suddenly called out, was still stunned and looked a little dazed. Tang Xian was also smiling. Those who know are wise. Xiwu is thoughtful at every step. [Your words woke me up! Damn, Sister Li is awesome!] [Ahhhh, Unhappy is coaxing Brainless!] [Qianye Ice Tofu, hahaha. Thats too thoughtful. Brainless, hurry up and be happy.] [I originally thought that Sister Li was a little too arrogant today, but in the end, I was too narrow-minded.] [Li Xiwu really surprises people every time.] [As the inheritor of embroiderys intangible cultural heritage, Tang Xian is also a respected figure. Li Xiwu is so broad-minded.] [If it were me, I would definitely show off my skills today. No one can compare to me! Hahaha, someone save my EQ!] [Li Xiwu is really amazing. Not only is she good-looking, but she also has culinary skills. Not only is she good at work, but she also has a high EQ!] [Who doesnt want a friend like Li Xiwu?] [Be bold. I want to have a mother like Li Xiwu. In the future, Ill wear her photo around my neck wherever I go. Ill say to everyone that this is my mother!] Han Qianye also tasted a piece of white tofu dipped in sauce. The tofu slices were neither thin nor thick. They did not spread easily when picked up, and there were no obvious characteristics. However, after dipping them in the sauce, the taste was really stunning. As she ate, her emotions gradually became complicated. She wondered if shed overdone it today. After dinner. Taking advantage of the lunch break, Han Qianye found an opportunity to talk to Li Xiwu. Um todays Qianye Ice Tofu is alright. Li Xiwu explained with a calm expression, Actually, that dish is called Iced Tofu. It doesnt have the word Qianye. Han Qianye was stunned. Seeing that Han Qianyes expression was getting more and more disappointed, Li Xiwu added, Auntie Tang is from the north. This tofu stacking method is called the Qianye Stacking Method in the north, so it can also be called Qianye Ice Tofu. The tofu slices were stacked, and they were stacked irregularly. There was indeed such a method in the north. Li Xiwu did not spout nonsense to please Han Qianye. Han Qianye was a little discouraged. Oh, Ill go back to my room to rest. Li Xiwu stopped her. Auntie. Han Qianye said gloomily, Huh? Li Xiwu said, Were going to change the venue for tomorrows recording. Were going to Mount Liang to do a public service. Ill tell you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. Itll snow heavily there soon. Chapter 139 - 139 Li Xiwus Speculation Was Too Awesome! 139 Li Xiwus Speculation Was Too Awesome! Mount Liang? Doing charity work? Wouldnt that be far away? In the mountains? Four consecutive questions blurted out. Li Xiwu replied with one word in general. Yes. Han Qianye turned around and came back. Is the mountain area difficult? Li Xiwu answered truthfully. A little. Han Qianye asked, How much is a little? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said in a calm voice, The production team wont arrange a particularly difficult place. You can rest assured about that. It seemed easier to accept this answer than to be precise. Han Qianye nodded. Ill be mentally prepared. And with that, Han Qianye looked up at Li Xiwu again and let go of the words she was holding back. Remember to bring two more thick clothes. Li Xiwu agreed. I know. This afternoons mission was to enter the mountain to find Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu. With the help of Cheng Zhongqing or Du Xu, they would successfully find a Grade 1 rare protected plant and record it. Literally. Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu, the two plant experts, were in a corner of the mountain. When the four groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law set off, they went their separate ways. It depended on which group was the luckiest to meet these two experts first. If they did not meet Cheng Zhongqing or Du Xu, todays mission would be very difficult to complete. Because rare protected plants were harder to identify than wild protected animals. On the way out, Li Xiwu carried a small basket. Han Qianye put on her hat and asked, Then what should I carry? Li Xiwu said, Just carry your mission forward. Han Qianye couldnt help but laugh. Li Xiwus expression was normal. Everyone can tell that youre in a bad mood today. Han Qianye was stunned. So you dont know why Im in a bad mood? This time, it was Li Xiwu who was slightly stunned. Han Qianye knew from Li Xiwus expression that she had been in a show alone. She had originally thought that the Qianye Ice Tofu was just something Li Xiwu was unwilling to admit to making for her. Now she believed it. That was just ice tofu. It really had nothing to do with her. C The way into the mountains was easy. Even if they took a fork, the cameraman and the other staff would quietly warn them. The entire recording process went very smoothly. Han Qianye felt hot and wanted to take off her coat. Li Xiwu walked behind and reminded Han Qianye when she saw that she was about to take it off, Be careful not to catch a cold. Han Qianye quietly and obediently gathered her coat. After walking for a while, Han Qianye casually said that she was thirsty. As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiwu handed her a bottle of mineral water. Here. Han Qianye was stunned when she saw the bottle of mineral water Li Xiwu handed her. You brought it? Li Xiwu nodded. Han Qianye held the mineral water and did not unscrew it to drink. Is there anything else? Li Xiwu thought that Han Qianye was too thirsty and that a bottle of mineral water was not enough, so she handed her bottle to Han Qianye. Here. Han Qianye said, Im not going to drink two bottles. Im Im worried that if you give me the only bottle, you wont have it. However, she did not say this out loud. She turned around and unscrewed the cap of the bottle to drink silently. They walked and stopped. The netizens also admired the scenery of Fu Town. Fu Town was indeed a good town. The country focused on protecting wildlife everywhere and many rare plants. This was also why the control over tourists entering Fu Town had been relatively strict in the past few years. [I have to go to Fu Town in my lifetime. This forest is too beautiful. As expected of the countrys priority habitat for protecting wild animals and plants.] [I feel that its very difficult to meet Specialist Cheng. I didnt meet anyone in Group Fours live-stream.] [Dont the production team arrange any clues? Im so anxious.] [I feel that Brainless is exhausted. Hahaha.] [Its good to be young. Sister Lis breathing is even. Han Qianye is almost out of breath.] They were almost halfway up the hill. Li Xiwu took out her own mini binoculars and looked into the wide field of view. Han Qianye was still on the slope. She was exhausted. There are no clues. How can we find Specialist Cheng? This mission is too difficult. Li Xiwu put away the binoculars. We have a lead. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu. What lead? Why didnt I see it? Where is it? Li Xiwu pointed to the ground. At our feet. Han Qianye: ? At her feet? Han Qianye looked down. There was grass and moss underfoot. Did the grass have some clue? Or had there been a mark on the moss? Thinking back, she really didnt seem to have looked down carefully at the grass and moss under her feet along the way. At this thought, Han Qianye immediately perked up and squatted down. Ill study it carefully. The result of careful research was that after staring at a moss for a long time, she could not see any different marks. Li Xiwu walked over and squatted down beside Han Qianye. Did you see anything? Han Qianye looked up. Im still looking. Wait for me to take a closer look. Li Xiwu pursed her lips slightly. Theres no need to look. Theres no mark on the moss. Han Qianye was puzzled. Then why did you say that the clues are at our feet? Li Xiwu pointed at the morning vine beside her. There are most quilted plants everywhere under our feet. Didnt you notice that there are almost no ferns? Han Qianye knew about quilted plants and ferns. But she couldnt tell which were quilted plants and ferns because there were thousands of plants. It was too difficult to remember them all! Most ferns live in moist, shaded places, Li Xiwu continued. Uncle Cheng and Aunt Dus tracks should also be in these places Of course, this is only my guess. Li Xiwu wasnt very sure. It wasnt easy to guess what other people were thinking, but it was hard to guess correctly. Han Qianye understood. So, in the end, it still depends on luck. Li Xiwu said, I guess. [I thought the clue was to leave a mark or something. In the end, this is too difficult.] [Li Xiwus analysis is correct, but there are very few ferns around. It really depends on luck.] [Just some actual markings will do.] [I have to say, the probability of finding rare and protected plants in ferns is higher. Li Xiwus speculation is too awesome.] At this moment, Tang Xian and Xue Jinzhu had already walked to a place with red flags. Many netizens guessed that it should be a mark. It represented the mark of Cheng Zhongqing and the others nearby. The netizens were right. Cheng Zhongqing was really near the red flag, but Cheng Zhongqing was alone and Du Xu was nowhere to be seen. Li Xiwu and Han Qianye prepared to set off for a place with moister air and cooler shade. But at this moment, they suddenly received a notification The third group, Tang Xian and Xue Jinzhu, have successfully met Cheng Zhongqing! Chapter 140 - 140 Impressive! Stunned by Li Xiwu again! 140 Impressive! Stunned by Li Xiwu again! When Han Qianye heard the notification, she instantly felt her spirit dampen. Theres no chance. Li Xiwu took out the mineral water from the basket on her back, unscrewed it, and took a sip. Not necessarily. When Han Qianye heard Li Xiwus words, her eyes lit up with hope. However! The next second! A notification came from the phone again Group Two, Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen, have successfully met Du Xu. Han Qianye: Li Xiwu paused in the act of twisting the cap off the bottle. [The second and third groups are so fast!] [With the plant expert around, Group Two and Group Three will definitely complete the mission. Its hard to say for Group One and Group Two.] [Sister Li probably has no choice this time.] [This time, were looking for a level-one rare protected plant. Without two plant experts, its very difficult to find it.] [The show is fair. We cant always give Li Xiwu all kinds of halos, right? Unless she finds out for herself.] [This is too difficult. Its normal not to be able to find it. Shes not an expert in this field.] Han Qianye was dejected. Are we going back now? Li Xiwu looked up and did not say anything after retracting her gaze. Han Qianye stood up and rubbed her knees. Her voice was muffled. Im tired. I want to go back first. Li Xiwu did not stop her and watched Han Qianye leave. The staff beside her planned to persuade Han Qianye. Li Xiwu said, No need. The staff said, But Li Xiwu was certain. Shell be back soon. The staff looked at Han Qianyes departing figure and wanted to ask, Miss Li, are you sure your mother-in-law will come back? Li Xiwu looked at the staff members disbelieving expression. Shell probably say that her feet were numb. Staff: ? Why did it sound so unreliable! No, he had to persuade her. The staff turned around and had just taken two steps when Han Qianye, who had left elegantly, suddenly returned! The staff asked, Sister Han, arent you going back? Han Qianye said, My feet are numb. Im walking around to relieve them. Who said Im going back? The staff: Holy shit! [Im dying of laughter. Li Xiwu predicted everything.] [Unhappy understood Brainless too well. Even the line about numb feet is so precise.] [Who said that the two of them are not familiar with each other? They are simply too familiar with each other. Their predictions are super accurate.] [Why do I feel that Han Qianye and Li Xiwus roles have changed!] Han Qianye walked back to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu suppressed her smile and handed her the bottle of mineral water Han Qianye had drunk from the basket. Lets go back. Han Qianye asked, Were not looking anymore? Li Xiwu smiled. We wont find it anyway. She didnt know where she would be if she continued deeper. The air gradually became a little humid, and it was indeed a little cool. Han Qianye had originally thought that she might meet one of Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu when she walked in. But Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu had been found by Group Two and Group Three. Even if she and Li Xiwu went in, they might not know those protected plants. The two of them finally reached the foot of the mountain. Han Qianye felt much more relaxed. Im finally down. When she did not hear Li Xiwus reply, Han Qianye turned to look at her. Realizing that Li Xiwu was staring in a direction, Han Qianye asked, What are you looking at? Li Xiwu looked away and suddenly smiled. Then she walked over. Come with me. Han Qianye was very curious. She followed and saw a fern. Han Qianye was overjoyed, but after a few seconds, she was stunned. She pointed at a ball of fur under the fern and asked, Is that the corpse of a weasel? Li Xiwu said, No. With that, Li Xiwu took out her phone and took a photo of the animal corpse Han Qianye had pointed at. After taking the photo, Li Xiwu explained to Han Qianye, This is a golden-haired dog fern. Its roots have a layer of golden fur, like the fur of a golden-haired dog. Its also a level-two protected plant protected by the law. [Damn! Li Xiwu is really knowledgeable!] [The golden-haired dog fern is still easy to recognize. Its mainly because it looks very unique.] [That layer of fur really looks like a golden retriever. There was news last year that someone was imprisoned for destroying the golden-haired dog fern.] [This Fu Town is really prisonable everywhere.] Han Qianye said melancholically, But the program arranged to find a level-one protected plant. Li Xiwu didnt care about this. As long as theres something to be gained. Han Qianye suddenly asked, How do you know this golden-haired dog fern? Li Xiwu said, I saw it in the newspaper by chance. Han Qianye was curious. Then youve seen too many. You know about protected animals and protected plants. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. She didnt know how to explain it, either. She couldnt remember much of her previous messy life. Many of her past was a little blurry in her memory. Probably because it was so bad, she chose to only look forward. The diploma she had was actually not high, but she realized that she knew a lot of things. It was as if she had dabbled in a lot, even many languages. At one point, she thought it was her talent, but sometimes she suspected that it was ridiculous. After gathering her thoughts, Li Xiwu realized that Han Qianye was no longer beside her. When she turned around, she saw Han Qianye squatting on the other side, reaching for another fern. Li Xiwus eyebrows jumped. Dont move! Han Qianyes hand paused in midair. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Han Qianye explained, This seems to be a fern too, but I just noticed that theres a rope tied to the root of this fern. This rope will affect the growth of the plant, right? I plan to untie this rope. As she spoke, Han Qianye reached out again. Li Xiwu quickly shouted, Dont take it off! Seeing Li Xiwus anxious expression, Han Qianye suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. However, she did not want to pluck this grass. She just wanted to pluck the rope. She was being kind. But was this kindness not used correctly? [Li Xiwu looks so nervous.] [I feel that if Han Qianye really removes the rope, Li Xiwu will kneel.] [So lucky? She discovered protected plants again?] [She just discovered a golden-haired dog fern, and now shes discovered a fern. Li Xiwu and Han Qianyes group are so lucky.] [What is this grass tied to a rope?] Seeing Li Xiwu walk over, Han Qianye retracted her hand in embarrassment and stood up. I heard you say that just now. Now that I see ferns, Im more careful and dont hurt it. Li Xiwu broke out in a cold sweat. Sorry about that. Han Qianye was stunned. She was still wondering if she had done something wrong, but Li Xiwu wondered if the shouting had frightened her. Han Qianyes heart was in turmoil. Im not scared. With that, she pointed to the fern on the ground. Is the rope tied to its rhizome to protect it? That was probably the only way to understand it. Li Xiwu inhaled. Not to protect it, but to protect you. Chapter 141 - 141 As Expected of Mother-in-Law Joy, Laughing to Death 141 As Expected of Mother-in-Law Joy, Laughing to Death Han Qianye: ? The netizens in the live-stream were laughing like crazy. They typed in the comments section crazily [As expected of Mother-in-Law Joy. What a joke.] [Miss Li is still as serious and laughable as ever.] [I remember the last time was to buy a house in prison, hahaha] [Li Xiwu is right. The rope on the roots of the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching is not used to protect the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching, but to protect outsiders.] [F*ck! Above three years and below seven years. That is to protect people.] [I didnt expect this to be a Cystoathyrium chinense Ching. Its almost extinct.] [Speaking of which, what major is Li Xiwu studying? Shes dabbled in too many aspects.] Han Qianye was dumbfounded. The rope on the roots was to protect her? But she had nothing to do with that rope. Li Xiwu had stopped her before she even touched it. Why did she say it was to protect her? Just as Han Qianye was confused, she heard Li Xiwus explanation. If Im not wrong, this should be a Cystoathyrium chinense Ching. Han Qianye asked, Cystoathyrium chinense Ching? Although Han Qianye had never seen a Cystoathyrium chinense Ching before, from the name and Li Xiwus nervous expression just now, she could roughly guess that they should be lucky?! Li Xiwu squatted down and picked up the end of the rope from the stem of the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching. After taking a closer look, she said, Its indeed a Cystoathyrium chinense Ching. This is its serial number. Theres also a QR code below. One sweep and youll know all the detailed introductions to this Cystoathyrium chinense Ching. Han Qianye looked unprecedented. It actually has a serial number? Li Xiwu nodded. Then she clicked on the phone and scanned the QR code below the serial number. Soon, the name of the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching appeared on the phone page, as well as when it had been discovered and recorded the growth time after it was discovered. At the bottom was a more detailed introduction to the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching. Han Qianye saw the words. Extremely rare level-one protected plant. After reading that line of words, Han Qianye suddenly understood why Li Xiwu had said that the rope was used to protect her! Endangered sounded serious enough! They used the words extremely rare for this! It meant that it was already very, very rare and could go extinct at any moment! Not only could she not touch it, but she had to avoid it when she saw it! However, Han Qianye was curious about one thing. Dont ferns grow in moist and cool places? There are two ferns here. And they were at the foot of the mountain! Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Different ferns have different light requirements for their growth periods. For example, golden-haired dog ferns and Cystoathyrium chinense Ching like to grow in places with sufficient light. With that, Li Xiwu clicked on the camera and took a photo of the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching. Han Qianye crossed her arms. These protected plants are really difficult to recognize. Li Xiwu replied to Han Qianye, Just remember an incantation. Han Qianye raised her eyebrows. What incantation? Li Xiwu said, The uglier a plant is, the longer the jail term. The stranger it is, the faster it will be judged. Han Qianye: [This incantation is amazing!] [Hurry up, Miss Li has started class. Hurry up and take out your notebook to record it! Otherwise, it will be more than three years and less than seven years.] [Many rare plants do look very strange now. Typically, they cant be recognized at all!] [I didnt expect this Cystoathyrium chinense Ching to be in extreme danger.] [The source of joy today was given by Sister Li again.] [I just want to see Sister Li laugh seriously.] On the way back, Han Qianye was very quiet and did not find a topic like before. The two of them returned to the inn. The other guests were not back yet. Li Xiwu printed out the photos of the mission first. Before long, the other three groups of guests returned to the inn one after another. Tang Xian and Cheng Zhongqing walked in, chatting and laughing. Xue Jinzhu limped with a dejected expression. Xiang Lan and Du Xu were also chatting about something along the way. Xu Muzhen listened with relish. Min Hanrongs face was radiant, and Tao Jing was smiling. She estimated that she had gained something this afternoon. Qianye! Min Hanrong shouted. Han Qianye looked up at Min Hanrong, who was walking over. Hanrong seems to be in a good mood. Min Hanrong was all smiles. Jingjing and I were really lucky today. We thought that we were going to return empty-handed today. Unexpectedly, as we walked forward, we met Specialist Cheng and Tang Xian. I thought that since weve met, well broaden our horizons with them. Look, this is the Calycopteris floribunda we took. As she spoke, Min Hanrong took out her phone and showed Han Qianye the photo of the Calycopteris floribunda. After reading it, Min Hanrong asked, Qianye, did you meet Specialist Du? Han Qianye said, No. Min Hanrong said regretfully, Actually, its very difficult to recognize such a level-one rare and protected plant. Although it has a label, how can we know this? Most of us will miss it. Han Qianye nodded in agreement. Yes. Min Hanrong looked at Han Qianyes expression and comforted her. Actually, we relied on luck this time. It was a mission that could only be completed by Specialist Cheng and Specialist Du. If we didnt meet them, theres really nothing we could do. Han Qianye nodded in agreement again. That makes sense. Li Xiwu had just put away her phone when Xue Jinzhu pounced on her. She subconsciously held her. Whats wrong? Xue Jinzhu pouted aggrievedly. My feet hurt. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Did you sprain your ankle? Xue Jinzhu sounded even sadder. The soles of my feet are blistering. Li Xiwu: She had walked too much into the mountains today and there were countless slopes along the way. The key was that Xue Jinzhu was wearing a pair of small sheepskin boots with a high heel. She had suffered a lot along the way, so it would be strange if her feet did not blister. On the way back, she was in so much pain that her expression was ugly. Because Specialist Cheng was around, she could only grit her teeth and endure it all the way back. Li Xiwu said gently, Go change your shoes first. Xue Jinzhu did not go. She leaned on Li Xiwus shoulder and said coquettishly, I want to hear Sister Li say a few sweet words to comfort me. Li Xiwu said, I cant. Xue Jinzhu held Li Xiwus arm. How about this? Ill say to Sister Li. Youre a tribulation I cant overcome in my life. One more look and my heart will soften. A hug and Ill fall for you~ Li Xiwus expression was normal. If you have the time to sweet-talk, why dont you change your shoes first? Xue Jinzhu suddenly said, Sister Li smells so good. I cant bear to leave. Han Qianye couldnt stand it anymore. She tried her best to be polite. Can you not be so clingy to Xiwu? Xue Jinzhu smiled charmingly. Auntie, dont you think Sister Li smells very good? She attracts people to cling to her. Han Qianye choked. Well, actually, she felt the same way! Han Qianye was very angry! She was so angry that she couldnt look! Xue Jinzhus words just now made her unable to even find a reason to refute. Chapter 142 - 142 Li Xiwu Was Shocked To Discover A Secret! 142 Li Xiwu Was Shocked To Discover A Secret! Miss Li! At this moment, Cheng Zhongqing walked towards Li Xiwu and greeted her with a smile. Li Xiwu gestured for Xue Jinzhu to behave herself, then turned around and greeted, Uncle Cheng. Cheng Zhongqing had always had a deep impression of Li Xiwu. This time, he thought that he would meet Li Xiwu in the forest and seriously discuss botany and zoology with her. Unfortunately, he did not meet her. Cheng Zhongqing walked over and asked with certainty, Miss Li, you must have gained something today, right? The moment that was said, everyone looked at Li Xiwu. Han Qianye spoke first. Of course weve gained something! And weve gained a lot! When Min Hanrong heard this, her eyebrows twitched. Really? She thought that only Han Qianye and Li Xiwu had not completed the mission! Originally, she and Jingjing could not complete the mission. She was the one who shamelessly went over and took a chance. Han Qianye smiled. Why would I lie to you? Next, it was time to complete the mission. The photos taken by each group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be printed. Then, Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu would specially explain these first-level endangered protected plants to everyone. Min Hanrong happily handed in the photo. It was the diagram of the Calycopteris floribunda. Tang Xian and Xue Jinzhus group took a photo of the Parrotia subaequalis. Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen took a photo of the Kingdonia uniflora Balf. All of them met the production teams requirements. They were all level-one endangered rare and protected plants. In the end, everyone looked at Han Qianye. Han Qianye showed two photos. Tang Xian was surprised. Qianye, you actually found two endangered plants? Han Qianye raised her eyebrows. Of course. Cheng Zhongqing took the two photos and saw the golden-haired dog fern first. He recognized it at a glance and hissed, This is the golden-haired dog fern, but Everyone looked at Cheng Zhongqing, waiting for him to continue. Cheng Zhongqing said, But the golden dog fern is a level-two protected plant. As soon as he said this, Min Hanrong almost couldnt help but laugh. Suppressing the smile on her lips, she turned around and comforted Han Qianye. Qianye, its okay. A level-two protected plant is also very powerful. Moreover, you recognized it yourself. These words were more or less insincere. [If I hadnt been in the live-stream the entire time, I would have laughed too.] [Theyre all guests who relied on plant experts to complete their missions. No one can fight. Li Xiwu is still the best.] [Min Hanrong more or less is a little pretentious.] [My father said that Min Hanrong is being realistic. Forgive me for not understanding this kind of reality.] Xiang Lan, who didnt speak, said, You recognized it by yourselves. Thats impressive. Du Xu took the photo and looked at it. She said pertinently, Actually, its easier to recognize the golden-haired dog fern. The one you took looks very good so far. Just as she finished, they heard Cheng Zhongqing hiss again. Everyone looked at Cheng Zhongqing in unison. Cheng Zhongqing pointed at another photo in his hand. Is this the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Cheng Zhongqings eyes widened. You actually met a Cystoathyrium chinense Ching! Du Xu hurriedly took the photo and looked at it. She said in surprise, Its really a Cystoathyrium chinense Ching! Everyone naturally did not miss Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xus shocked expressions. Not long after the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching was marked, Cheng Zhongqing and Du Xu had yet to go take a look. They did not expect Li Xiwu and Han Qianye to meet it first! Min Hanrong asked curiously, Is this Cystoathyrium chinense Ching also a level-one protected plant? Of course, Cheng Zhongqing replied. Moreover, it was not long after it was marked. There is only one that has been found in the entire mountain. Its already an extremely endangered plant. The moment he said that Everyone sighed. Han Qianyes smug expression was almost overflowing from the screen. I happened to see it and almost got into trouble by accident. Xiwu reminded me that it was an extremely rare plant, Cystoathyrium chinense Ching. Everyone looked at the calm Li Xiwu. Cheng Zhongqing said, Miss Li, I knew you were extraordinary. Li Xiwu was modest. There are serial numbers and QR codes on the roots of the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching. Scan the code and you can see the specific information of this plant. Han Qianye immediately said, Xiwu recognized it as a Cystoathyrium chinense Ching first. Then, she scanned the QR code and matched it. This is recorded in the live broadcast. Cheng Zhongqings eyes were filled with praise for Li Xiwu. Miss Li, you surprise people every time. Du Xu was also convinced. Miss Li, it seems that you have some research in botany. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. I studied some when I was bored. It would be hard to explain if she didnt have any. In fact, she didnt really study it. She didnt even know when she had come into contact with this knowledge. Next, Cheng Zhongqing carefully explained the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching to everyone. The professional explanation of knowledge made people listen with interest. They finished talking about the first three protected plants in ten or twenty sentences. When it came to the Cystoathyrium chinense Ching, they talked non-stop and even pulled out many ferns. Han Qianyes face was filled with joy, and she felt extremely comfortable. C The days live broadcast ended at five-thirty. After everyone sat together for dinner, Gao Yueban announced the next days schedule. Without a doubt, other than Han Qianye, who already knew, everyone else was very surprised. Why were they going to Mount Liang? However, after hearing the reason Gao Yueban said, everyone expressed their understanding. Because of Xie Wens matter, although the live broadcast today was quite popular, it was inevitable that the premiere would cause criticism. After all, there had been two episodes of the show. That was why the production team had to arrange some positive things. Several groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back to their rooms. Li Xiwus room was out of water. She came down to get some water when she was thirsty. Just as she arrived downstairs, she saw Xue Jinzhu sneak out of the inn. Li Xiwu was not curious about what Xue Jinzhu was doing. She poured some water and prepared to go back upstairs. At this moment, Yu Jing walked in. Miss Li, good evening. Li Xiwu replied, Why isnt Director Yu resting yet? Yu Jing said, I went out for a smoke. Im going to rest now. After a pause, Yu Jing pointed outside. I saw Miss Xue go out just now. I think her boyfriend drove to see her. Li Xiwus grip on the kettle tightened. Boyfriend? Yu Jing said, Should be her boyfriend, right? I saw Miss Xue rush over and throw herself into his arms. The light was too dark, so I couldnt see clearly. Lets not talk anymore. Im going to rest. I still have to pack up and leave for Mount Liang tomorrow. Miss Li, rest early too. Li Xiwu inhaled. Okay. She waited for Yu Jing to go upstairs. Li Xiwu was also preparing to go upstairs. At this moment, she looked tense, probably because her molars were clenched tightly. Stepping on the stairs, she hesitated for a few seconds before preparing to go out and take a look. Placing the kettle on the table, she headed out of the inn. There was a car parked not far from the inn. Li Xiwu recognized that car. It was Pei Jingzhous business car. Most of the time, Chen Xin was in charge of driving this car. Li Xiwu had also sat in it several times. Pei Jingzhou was really here?! Li Xiwu took a deep breath and closed her eyes hard. She secretly told herself not to go over. Out of sight, out of mind. Going back upstairs to sleep was the main thing. It was best to pretend not to know anything. But her feet still wouldnt obey her. She walked towards the MPV. Every step she took was light. When she was about to approach, Li Xiwu heard a strange sound. It seemed to be the sound of men and women panting. Li Xiwus body stiffened. Coldness spread from head to toe. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the car door suddenly opened Chapter 143 - 143 Knowing The Truth of The Matter, The Misunderstanding Is Resolved! 143 Knowing The Truth of The Matter, The Misunderstanding Is Resolved! Miss Li! Someone called out to her from behind! Li Xiwu stopped short. If she heard correctly, this was Chen Xins voice? Chen Xin was also here? She took a breath and turned slowly. At this moment, Chen Xin had just gotten out of the car. He was dressed in a formal suit, but the shirt in his jacket looked a little wrinkled. It should be because he was in a hurry to get out of the car. Before the car door closed, Chen Xin looked at Li Xiwu, who was only a few steps away, and said, Miss Li, wait a moment! With that, Chen Xin reached into the car and took out a shoe box. Then, he walked towards Li Xiwu. Li Xiwus tone was steady. Why Assistant Chen come here? Chen Xin handed the shoe box in his hand to Li Xiwu. Mr. Pei specially asked me to come over and give you boots. Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. Boots? Chen Xin nodded. Yes. Mr. Pei knew that you were going to Mount Liang tomorrow. It was very cold there, and it would probably snow again soon, so he personally picked a pair of snow boots and asked me to send them to you. Pei Jingzhou actually found out so quickly that she was going to Mount Liang tomorrow. Li Xiwus lips twitched. Thats thoughtful of him. Chen Xin looked at Li Xiwus expression and deliberated before saying, Mr. Pei is very busy today. He has been in a meeting since the afternoon. He only has time to go to the hospital to change the dressing on his wound at eight in the evening. Mr. Pei was still changing the dressing before I came over. Chen Xin said this because he wanted Li Xiwu to care more about Mr. Pei. But it seemed that Miss Lis motionless expression was indifferent to this. Li Xiwu thought of the discordant voice she had just heard and sneered silently. Then, she reached out and took the shoe box. Tell Mr. Pei for me. Thank you. Then she turned and went back. Chen Xin was speechless. Li Xiwu did not care if Pei Jingzhou was in the car just now or changing his dressing in the hospital. She just needed to be obedient and pretend not to hear anything even if she heard it. Only then would it be beneficial for her to obtain the 400 million yuan steadily. On the way back, Li Xiwu hefted the shoe box. It was quite light. Casually, she opened the shoe box. She planned to carry the boots in and throw the shoe box in the trash can outside. Otherwise, the shoe box would take up space. As soon as she opened it, she didnt see any snow boots, but she saw a set of adult supplies, and brand new black silk Li Xiwu stiffened. She closed her eyes hard and closed the shoe box, planning to throw it away. As soon as she raised her hand, she suddenly smiled. Wouldnt it mean that she was jealous to throw it away? Li Xiwu turned around and returned with the shoe box. Before she could approach the car, an untimely voice came sweetly Brother~ Kiss me~ Li Xiwu stopped short. During the time she had known Xue Jinzhu, she had clearly remembered the tone of her voice. Those few words just now were Xue Jinzhus voice. She was delicate and charming, enough to melt ones bones. Not only was the voice clear, but she was also outside. Li Xiwu looked up and saw Xue Jinzhu standing in the shadow of the car with a man leaning against it. Xue Jinzhu wrapped her arms around the mans neck, tiptoed, and raised her head to kiss the mans chin. Did Brother miss me? I brought black silk out just now~ Do you want to see it, Brother? Chen Xin lowered his head, his breathing unstable. Where? Why didnt I see it? Xue Jinzhu giggled. Its not easy to hide it on my body for too long. I hid it in a box and wanted to give Brother a surprise. Chen Xin asked, A box. What box? Xue Jinzhu said, Its just a box with a pair of shoes. I took out the shoes and threw them aside. Other than black silk, there are other toys. Brother will definitely like them. Chen Xin held his breath. All the excitement and heat from before feel like cold water after Xue Jinzhus words! Xue Jinzhu smiled charmingly. Brother, are you looking forward to it? Without hearing Chen Xins answer, Xue Jinzhu wrapped her arms around Chen Xins neck and shook it gently. Brother, its too cold outside. Lets go into the car. Ill wear it for you to see. Chen Xin suddenly asked, You really put it in the shoe box. Xue Jinzhu nodded obediently. Yes, I wanted to give you a surprise. I cant hide it. Chen Xin asked, Then why didnt you say anything when I took the shoe box down to Miss Li just now? That wasnt a harsh tone. He was just a little angry. Xue Jinzhu was unhappy when she heard that. She pouted angrily. You kissed me until I was confused in the car just now. How would I know that you took a shoe box down? Speaking of just now After coming out of the inn, she got into the back seat. Chen Xin was still in front. She took advantage of the time when Chen Xin went to the back to stuff the good stuff she had brought out into the shoe box in the back seat. Shed even taken out the shoes, which shed left under the seat. She thought that Chen Xin had brought her shoes. When Chen Xin picked up the shoe box and surprised her, she would turn this surprise into a surprise for Chen Xin. As soon as she put it away, Chen Xin got into the backseat. Without another word, he pressed her down and kissed her. When she was dizzy from the kiss, Chen Xin suddenly paused. Then, he took something and hurriedly got out of the car. She did not see what she had taken at all. She was still dizzy and regulating her breathing. When she adjusted her breathing and looked out of the car window, she saw Sister Li turn around and leave. She got out of the car and was about to ask Sister Li if she had specially come out to rush her back when Chen Xin pressed her outside the car door and kissed her. Xue Jinzhu heard Chen Xin mutter, Its over. Xue Jinzhu was curious. Whats over? Chen Xin pushed Xue Jinzhu away. I have to get it back. Xue Jinzhu was confused. Take what back? As soon as she finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded Are you getting this back? Li Xiwus sudden voice shocked Xue Jinzhu and Chen Xin. Xue Jinzhu was so frightened that she screamed, Ahhhh After screaming, she quickly pressed her face into Chen Xins arms. Brother, Im so scared ~ Chen Xin coaxed Xue Jinzhu, Dont be afraid, dont be afraid. He took the time to say to Li Xiwu, Miss Li, Im sorry to have embarrassed you. Li Xiwu: It wasnt a matter of being embarrassed. This was a matter that she was also shocked by! Chen Xin actually got together with Xue Jinzhu?!!! Whats going on? No when did this happen? Chen Xin quickly pushed Xue Jinzhu away and reminded her to stay here. Then, he straightened his clothes and walked towards Li Xiwu. Miss Li, that shoe box With that, Chen Xin reached out to take it. Li Xiwu raised her hand and avoided Chen Xins outstretched hand. Arent these the shoes Mr. Pei chose for me? Chen Xin looked lifeless for a few seconds. Oh no, Miss Li had already opened it and looked at it! Chen Xin clapped his hands. Miss Li, this is a misunderstanding. Give me this shoe box first. I can explain. Li Xiwu threw the shoe box to Chen Xin. Explain yourself. Chen Xin took the shoe box and felt a little more at ease. He explained, Im sorry, Miss Li. I really shouldnt have taken the opportunity to meet Xue Jinzhu in private when Mr. Pei arranged for me to send you shoes. Li Xiwu: ? Chapter 144 - 144 Yes, Were In A Relationship! 144 Yes, Were In A Relationship! Chen Xins attitude was very upright and he did not hide anything. After all, the more he hid it, the easier it was to make things worse. Li Xiwu frowned. I mean, why did you do that? Chen Xin panicked. I-I was confused. He shouldnt have done this. He shouldnt have done private matters during business, so Chen Xin was very regretful. Li Xiwu took a deep breath and reminded Chen Xin, I remember that your family background is not bad to begin with. Youre also a top student who graduated from Qingbei. When you came to R.E, you were directly placed in an important position by Mr. Pei and became the enviable senior assistant of the president. Your annual salary is nearly ten million. You have the best honor and the highest experience, but why did you do something that destroyed your future? Chen Xin: These words frightened Chen Xin. And he was very frightened! He Wasnt he just in a daze and took the opportunity to be intimate with his little girlfriend on the way back from Mr. Peis mission? How did it escalate to the point of destroying his future? Although, this was indeed not good. Not only was it damaging to his image, but this was also Mr. Peis car. He really shouldnt have kissed Xue Jinzhu in this car. But according to Miss Lis tone, it was too serious In fact, Li Xiwu still thought that Chen Xin had slept with Pei Jingzhous woman. Therefore, in her opinion, this matter was very serious! Pei Jingzhou was such a dictatorial person. How could he tolerate his assistant cuckolding him? If Pei Jingzhou found out, Chen Xins career would come to an end. She said, I still suggest you get a serious girlfriend. Ill pretend I didnt see her tonight. You Before she could finish, Chen Xin interrupted hesitantly, Uh, Zhuzhu is my girlfriend. Li Xiwu was stunned. Chen Xins tone was very firm. Miss Li, I dont know if youve misunderstood something, but I still have to make it clear that Zhuzhu is my girlfriend. Were in a relationship. With that, Chen Xin noticed that Li Xiwu was clearly stunned. Chen Xin immediately realized that Miss Li had indeed misunderstood something. Miss Li, are you Chen Xin was about to ask something when Li Xiwu suddenly raised her hand and gestured. Wait! Then, she asked, You said that Xue Jinzhu is your girlfriend. Are you in a relationship? Chen Xin replied, Yes, we confirmed our relationship this year, but weve known each other for many years. Im her senior. Li Xiwu: So what she saw at the hotel that day was actually Chen Xin and Xue Jinzhu hugging each other? Had she seen it wrongly? Li Xiwu carefully recalled the scene. When she walked out of the corner, she saw Xue Jinzhu hugging a man and kissing him. The jacket on the mans hand was Pei Jingzhous jacket. Because they were kissing, she didnt pay close attention to his face. Just from that jacket, she was certain that the man hugging Xue Jinzhu was Pei Jingzhou! At this moment, Xue Jinzhu, who had been waiting obediently for a long time, naturally heard Chen Xin and Li Xiwus conversation. She walked over and whispered, Sister Li. Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhu. Xue Jinzhu said, Sister Li, its my fault this time. I shouldnt have pestered Brother. If you want to scold me, scold me. Dont tell President Pei about this. Im afraid President Pei will fire Brother in anger. It took Li Xiwu a long time to calm down. She looked at Xue Jinzhu for a long time before asking, Are you and Chen Xin really in a relationship? Xue Jinzhu whispered, not daring to do what she had done during the day. Yes. Li Xiwu said angrily, That day at the hotel, were you also hugging Chen Xin? It had been a while since the hotel incident, and she and Chen Xin would occasionally go to a hotel, so she couldnt remember which time it was at the hotel. Seeing that Xue Jinzhus expression seemed to be recalling, Li Xiwu said, The hotel where you first met me. Her words reminded Xue Jinzhu. She remembered. Oh, that day Xue Jinzhu said as she recalled. Before that day, Brother had already been on a business trip with President Pei for a few days. I was very angry that he didnt come back for my birthday. I lost my rationality in my anger and ran to pester Brother. Brother had to deal with me and coax me while dealing with work with President Pei. I swear, that was the first time I thought that President Pei was easy to talk to. I complained that he had arranged too much work for Brother. He was scared to death, but President Pei was not angry. At that time, Xue Jinzhu did not know where she got the courage. It was fine if she followed him all the way, but she even dared to complain about him oppressing his employees in front of Pei Jingzhou. While she was complaining, she did not notice that Chen Xin had seen Li Xiwu and even went over to greet her. When they reached the elevator, President Pei took the time to reply to her. Ive been very busy with the project recently. When Im done, Ill ask him to take a day off to accompany you. Chen Xin was filled with gratitude. Although the boss was dictatorial, he was also very humane. The next day, he asked him to take a day off to accompany Xue Jinzhu. Miss Li? Miss Li? Chen Xin shouted twice before Li Xiwu came back to her senses. Chen Xins expression was very solemn. This matter Li Xiwu said quickly, I didnt see this. Chen Xin was stunned. But Miss Li. I really didnt see anything. Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Its rare for you to meet. Xue Jinzhu still has to go to Mount Liang tomorrow. Have a good chat. Ill go back and rest first. With that, Li Xiwu turned around and left. Chen Xin quickly stopped her. Miss Li, the boots Li Xiwu walked quickly, not caring about the boots. Now, only Xue Jinzhu and Chen Xin were left. Xue Jinzhu looked at Chen Xin with a frown. What should I do? I think I got into trouble. Chen Xin took Xue Jinzhus hand and pulled her into his arms to comfort her. Its fine. Ill take care of it, but I think Miss Li must have misunderstood something. C Li Xiwu hurried back to the inn. As soon as she went upstairs, she met Han Qianye, who was about to go downstairs. Li Xiwu turned to the side to make way. Han Qianye did not leave. Li Xiwu looked up at Han Qianye. Youre going downstairs? No. Anyway, it was good that you were back. The last sentence was in her heart. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwus pale face. She did not want to care, but she still said with concern, How long were you in the cold outside? Your face is pale. Arent you cold? Li Xiwu raised her hand to her face. Only then did she realize that her cheeks were very cold. She retracted her hand and had no choice but to spout nonsense. I chatted with Director Yu outside for a while longer. Fortunately, its not very cold. Han Qianye was annoyed that she cared about Li Xiwu again and quickly said, Im not concerned about you. Li Xiwu said, I know. You were just asking. Han Qianye: Li Xiwu turned to the side. Then Ill go back to my room. Hey, Han Qianye said. Li Xiwu turned. Yes? There was no one else around. Han Qianye walked up to Li Xiwu and said inexplicably, I missed another appointment with my best friend this afternoon. Li Xiwu was not sure who Han Qianyes best friend was. There were many people in her circle of wealthy wives. However, what was Han Qianye doing with her? Han Qianye paused and continued, Rongrong wants to introduce her niece to me. Chapter 145 - 145 Heartache for Fourth Brother, Gentle Sweet Words 145 Heartache for Fourth Brother, Gentle Sweet Words As she said this, Han Qianye secretly sized up Li Xiwus expression. Li Xiwu replied calmly, Thats a good thing. Why dont you go? Han Qianye sighed. I dont want to go. With that, she turned around and left, returning to her room. Li Xiwu: Han Qianye only remembered the business of going downstairs when she reached the door, so the closed door opened again. She said to Li Xiwu, who was still standing there, Jingzhou called you but you didnt answer, so he called me. Hes worried about you. Hurry up and call him back. Li Xiwu was stunned for a moment. She touched her pocket and remembered that she had not brought her phone when she came down to get water. She had come back in a hurry and had not even brought the kettle. She replied, Okay. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu for a few seconds. Sleep early. Li Xiwu replied, Okay. Only then did Han Qianye close the door. She went back downstairs to get the kettle. When she returned to her room, she realized that there were several missed calls on her phone. One of them was from Chen Xin. He probably asked her to go out and get her shoes. Coincidentally, she went out at that time. Chen Xin probably still thought that she went out after seeing the missed call. The other missed calls were all from Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou had called her so many times but she did not answer. He must be worried about her, so he called Han Qianye and asked her to go downstairs to look for her. However, she happened to see her return. Li Xiwu held her phone quietly. Recalling this period of time, she seemed to have misunderstood Pei Jingzhou because of Xue Jinzhu. Putting aside the agreement, there had indeed been no other woman by Pei Jingzhous side for the past three years. It was only when Xue Jinzhu appeared that she thought that all the balance had been disturbed. It was time for her to leave as soon as possible. But in fact, in the three years of their marriage, Pei Jingzhou only had her by his side! Buzz. Buzz. The phone began to vibrate again. A call had come in. Li Xiwu picked it up without hesitation. Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou was very quiet. No sound came back. Li Xiwu called out again, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhous voice finally came from the other end of the line, but it was a little cold. Where did you go? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said steadily, Chen Xin sent a pair of shoes over. Pei Jingzhous voice softened. Did you go get your shoes? Li Xiwu said, Yeah. Pei Jingzhou said, Its very cold at Mount Liang. Itll snow soon. Take care of yourself. Li Xiwu agreed. Pei Jingzhou didnt care what she replied or didnt need to reply. I wanted to get you two down jackets and get Chen Xin to bring them over, but after thinking about it carefully, if I got Chen Xin to bring them over, what reason do I have to meet you tomorrow? And with that, Li Xiwu seemed to hear his smile. It was a soft, fleeting sound. After a few seconds of silence, Li Xiwu spoke first. Hows Fourth Brothers hand? Pei Jingzhou said, I went to change the dressing. Its much better. He deliberately said the words change the dressing so that she wouldnt worry. Even though he knew that he was thinking too much, and that she might not be worried. Li Xiwu asked, Does it hurt? The call fell silent again. This time it was quieter than before. So Li Xiwu repeated her words. Does it hurt? Pei Jingzhous low voice came from the phone. It doesnt hurt. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Itll still hurt a little. Pei Jingzhou also smiled. Is your husband very fragile in your eyes? Li Xiwu said, No matter how strong my husband is, it still hurts when hes injured. Hes a human being, not made of steel. The more inadvertently she revealed it, the more heart-wrenching it was. This was the case for Pei Jingzhou. He even wanted to drive over to see her now. He would only feel at ease when he saw her immediately and held her in his arms. Li Xiwu calmed herself down and returned to the topic he had just mentioned. Is Fourth Brother coming tomorrow? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Ill go and give you your coat and send you to the airport. Li Xiwu suddenly mentioned, I want to choose the jacket I want. Lets have a video call. As soon as she finished speaking, the line went dead. Li Xiwu: ? Why did he hang up? Could it be that Pei Jingzhou suddenly had work to do? Li Xiwu guessed that it should be. She planned to put her phone aside and wait for Pei Jingzhou to finish his work. At this moment, a WeChat video call notification sounded. Li Xiwu was suddenly stunned. She took her phone and saw that it was a WeChat video call from Pei Jingzhou. When she casually said that she would start the video call, she did not think about anything. When he really video-called, she knew that she was panicking. She first found a suitable angle for the light and flicked her slightly messy hair. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she picked up the video call from Pei Jingzhou. To be honest, it was rare for the two of them to video call each other. Therefore, Li Xiwu was a little uncomfortable. When she saw Pei Jingzhou on the other side of the screen, she held her breath. Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. Pei Jingzhou held up his phone. He was the only one in the camera, but it was not facing him directly. It was on the side. He was walking towards the cloakroom. He reached the large cloakroom. He switched the camera. In front of Li Xiwu were layers of glass cabinets. After finding the wardrobe of the winter clothes, Pei Jingzhou asked her, Which one do you want? Li Xiwu described two items, and Pei Jingzhou took them out accurately. Just two? Li Xiwu said, Two is enough. Ill only be gone for two days. In these two days, one was used for traveling. Director Gao said that they would only arrive at three or four in the afternoon. Pei Jingzhou took out the two coats and hung them outside. Is there anything else you need? Li Xiwu said, Nothing else. Pei Jingzhou asked, What about me? Li Xiwu was stunned. Huh? Pei Jingzhou said, Arent you going to say good night to me? Li Xiwu wanted to laugh. She pressed her lips together. Good night, Fourth Brother. After a few seconds, she added, Thank you. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou reminded her, Look at the camera. Li Xiwu obediently looked at the camera. On the other side of the camera was Pei Jingzhous face. He looked at her and said, Sleep early, honey. The word honey made Li Xiwus heart skip a beat. Okay. This was originally a call, but then it became a video call. Actually, there were no sweet nothings. Pei Jingzhou got her whatever clothes she wanted. They said goodnight to each other and ended the call. They were like an ordinary couple who had been in love for many, many years. After so many years, they were loyal to each other. Wasnt such a relationship what she wanted? C The next morning. Li Xiwu casually tidied up and went out for breakfast. When she opened the door, she saw a pair of furry snow boots outside. She guessed that Xue Jinzhu must have brought it over. Li Xiwu took it back to the room and placed it there first. She came downstairs. When Xue Jinzhu saw her, she ran over. Sister Li~ After realizing that she had misunderstood, Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhu with a deeper meaning. Xue Jinzhu said, I left the snow boots at your door. Li Xiwu nodded. I saw it. Thank you. Xue Jinzhu fiddled with her fingers in embarrassment. Thinking of the serious matter, she quickly lowered her voice and said, That Master Tangs son is here at the inn. Hes outside. Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. Have you been to see him? Xue Jinzhu said in embarrassment, No, Im a little afraid. Li Xiwu was puzzled. Why are you afraid? Does he look fierce? No, no, Xue Jinzhu said. I heard that Master Tangs son is a very powerful person, so Im a little afraid. Sister Li, come out with me. This was not a troublesome matter. Li Xiwu agreed. Lets go take a look. Chapter 146 - 146 He Had The Wrong Person. His Gaze Was Fixed on Li Xiwu. 146 He Had The Wrong Person. His Gaze Was Fixed on Li Xiwu. The temperature today was even lower than yesterday. When Li Xiwu followed Xue Jinzhu out, she adjusted her collar. A cold air raid came. She also put on the hood of her down jacket to cover her face. Seeing this, Xue Jinzhu said, Its getting colder and colder recently. Li Xiwu said slowly, Its going to snow at Mount Liang soon. Its probably colder than here. Xue Jinzhu looked like she had nothing to live for. Its really torture. Li Xiwu smiled. Remember to bring two thicker clothes. Xue Jinzhu agreed. Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she asked, Sister Li, did you misunderstand something about Brother and me? Li Xiwu: Caught off guard, Li Xiwu didnt know how to continue the conversation. Xue Jinzhu looked at Li Xiwus expression and guessed, Sister Li, dont tell me you think Im having an affair with President Pei? Li Xiwu took a shallow breath but still did not respond. She thought that if she did not say anything, this topic would end quickly, but she forgot the fact that Xue Jinzhu was a talker. Xue Jinzhu was certain of her guess, and her smile was even brighter than before. Sister Li, why did you misunderstand that Im related to President Pei? I was born pampered and couldnt stand cold faces. President Pei is such a cold person. He can freeze me to death eight hundred times a day. My brother is so good. He dotes on me and coaxes me. To tell you the truth, Im a person who cant even look President Pei in the eye. Although the last time I said that he was exploiting his employees, I only dared to say that because Brother was beside me. If I were as fierce as last time, I wouldnt dare to do it again. Xue Jinzhu kept talking. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and asked after a while, Did Chen Xin arrange for you to enter Hua Guan Media and become a resource celebrity? Not entirely. Xue Jinzhu twirled her fingers and said truthfully, Brother did help me arrange the best manager in Hua Guan, which is you, Sister Li. However, my father was the one who spent all his money on me. There was a pause. Xue Jinzhu continued, Brother was also the one who helped me get this opportunity to attend the in-law variety show. Then, my father also used money to help me. Chen Xin indeed did not have the ability to directly make Xue Jinzhu a resource celebrity. However, the connections he had accumulated over the years could give Xue Jinzhu very good resources. Which meant Xue Jinzhus debut was so smooth-sailing because Chen Xin contributed and Father Xue paid. After knowing the true background of Xue Jinzhus debut, Li Xiwu was surprisingly calm. She looked down at the road and reminded her faintly, Most resource celebrities have prominent family backgrounds, especially those celebrities with political backgrounds. They can do whatever they want in the entertainment industry. Arent you afraid of emptying your familys money? Xue Jinzhu giggled. Even when the water in the Yangtze River has dried up, my familys money isnt finished. Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Xue Jinzhu. Xue Jinzhu said, My family has a mine. I dont know when it will be out of ores. Li Xiwu: The conversation with Director Gao yesterday morning flashed through her mind frame by frame. Director Gao had mentioned that Xue Jinzhus family had a mine. As expected, her worries were really unnecessary. Sister Li, look. Auntie Tang is standing there alone. Xue Jinzhu pointed over. Li Xiwu looked up at that and into the distance. A black car was parked not far away. Tang Xian was the only one standing beside the car. She was holding a heat pack in her arms. Xue Jinzhu was puzzled. Why dont I see Auntie Tangs son? Li Xiwu said, Maybe he left. Left? Xue Jinzhu grinned. Thats great. Seeing that Xue Jinzhu was happy too early, Li Xiwu had to remind her, I was just guessing. Its not necessarily true. The smile on Xue Jinzhus lips froze. Sure enough, it was too early to laugh. She would smile after confirming that Tang Xians son had left. Walking over, Xue Jinzhu shouted, Auntie Tang! Tang Xian turned around and saw Xue Jinzhu and Li Xiwu walking over together. She smiled. Zhuzhu, Xiwu, youre here. Xue Jinzhu smiled brightly. Auntie Tang, I just heard that your son is here? Tang Xian couldnt help but laugh. Dont always say your son. Just call him Lanshi. Otherwise, others will expose you. Xue Jinzhu nodded. Oh, got it. Actually, she wanted to call him by his name too, but ever since she called him wrongly the first time, she could not tell if Tang Xians son was called Lanshi or Shilan. She was afraid that if she called him wrongly again, it would make her look like she never took that person seriously, so it became your son. Tang Xian said, Lanshi just arrived. Theres a problem with the information about his appointment in Fu Town. He needs to record it again. Hes gone there now and will be back soon. Xue Jinzhu came to a realization. I see. As expected, he hadnt left yet! She was happy too early! Tang Xian smiled faintly. Have you packed your luggage? Xue Jinzhu said, Done. Tang Xian turned to look at Li Xiwu again. Is Xiwus luggage packed too? Li Xiwu took off the hood of her down jacket, revealing her fair face. Her clear voice was like a spring breeze. Theres not much luggage. Theres still time to pack later. Tang Xian nodded. Li Xiwu had actually not finished packing. The video call last night was still vivid in her mind, but she was not sure if Pei Jingzhou would really come today. Thinking of her misunderstanding of him, she felt a little frustrated for no reason. She couldnt say or show this frustration on her face. It was hidden in her heart. No one could see it. Only she knew. As her thoughts drifted, she suddenly felt her body warm. A thicker coat was draped over her. Li Xiwu was stunned. Was it Pei Jingzhou? Why was he here so early? Li Xiwus eyes softened unconsciously. When she turned around and saw that the person who draped her clothes behind her was an unfamiliar face, she was stunned. Who was this person? Li Xiwu was only stunned for a few seconds. When she reacted, she immediately took half a step back and distanced herself from this man. She looked up at him. The man looked at Li Xiwu gently. I heard from my mother that you dont have a very thick coat. I prepared a winter coat for you before I came over. With that, the man reached over again. Li Xiwu subconsciously avoided his hand and frowned slightly. The man explained, I wanted to test if the winter coat was too big, but you have a down jacket. The winter coat will be a little heavy on you. Li Xiwu quickly took off her winter coat and handed it back to the unfamiliar man opposite her. We dont know each other. The mans lips quivered. Dont know Xue Jinzhu, who had been stunned, immediately said, Hey, what are you doing? My Sister Li doesnt know you. Dont touch her. There are many people here. Do you believe that if I shout, someone will immediately rush out and hit you! As Xue Jinzhu spoke, she stepped forward to block Li Xiwu. Although she was also a little afraid, she stood firmly in front of Li Xiwu. The mans voice was gentle. I know there are many people here, and I know where this is. Xue Jinzhu raised her eyebrows. If you know, why are you still touching her? Back off! The man raised his hand and scratched his brow with his fingertips. The smile on his lips was pursed as he took two steps back. Seeing that the other party was quite a gentleman, Xue Jinzhu relaxed a little. She was about to question the other partys intentions. At this moment, Tang Xian walked over with a smile. Lanshi, youve got the wrong person. Chapter 147 - 147 An Unexpected Meeting of Love Rivals 147 An Unexpected Meeting of Love Rivals Lanshi? Gu Lanshi! Li Xiwu immediately reacted. The man who had draped his clothes over her just now was Tang Xians son, Gu Lanshi! After realizing this mans identity, Li Xiwu did not say anything and pursed her lips. On the other hand, Xue Jinzhu said in shock, Youre Auntie Tangs son? The whatever-shi? The man said, Gu Lanshi. Yes, Gu Lanshi Uh, no, what, youre Gu Lanshi?! Xue Jinzhu was confused, and the rest was shocked. Tang Xian walked over and explained, Lanshi, the person in front of you is Miss Xue. You got the wrong person just now. Gu Lanshi looked at Li Xiwu, whose expression was slightly dark behind Xue Jinzhu. After a moment, he retracted his gaze and the smile on his face faded a little. So Ive got the wrong person. Xue Jinzhu was not in the mood to notice Gu Lanshis expression. When she heard that he was Gu Lanshi, she, who was originally standing in front of Li Xiwu, immediately walked behind her and whispered, Sister Li, hes Gu Lanshi. Auntie Tang didnt lie to me. His son has really been handsome since high school, but still, Brother is much more handsome than him. Li Xiwu: She looked up at Gu Lanshi. At the same time, Gu Lanshi was looking at her. After a few seconds of looking at each other, Li Xiwu looked into the other partys eyes. As she looked, she actually felt a sense of dj vu from this stranger. But when she thought about it carefully, she didnt remember this persons face. Under Tang Xians introduction, Gu Lanshi smiled apologetically at her. So its Miss Li. I dont usually pay attention to live broadcasts. I only heard my mother occasionally mention you on the variety show. I didnt expect to make a fool of myself the first time I saw you. Im sorry for being rude just now. Gu Lanshi was very sincere in apologizing. Li Xiwu herself was only a little surprised. It didnt rise to the level of anger. Im fine. Gu Lanshi waved the winter coat in his hand. Miss Li doesnt mind me, but I really feel bad. This winter coat is brand new. I want to give this winter coat to Miss Li. Li Xiwu refused directly. No need. This is a coat for Jinzhu. Give it to Jinzhu. Mount Liang is very cold. She didnt prepare a very thick coat. Gu Lanshi did not insist. Alright, well listen to Miss Li. Oh Xue Jinzhu said from behind Li Xiwu, This temporary boyfriend doesnt seem to be that scary. Hes quite considerate. She heard that he had a powerful background and was quite imposing. In the end, it was not what she had heard at all. He was clearly gentle and smiling. He was also very gentlemanly. Li Xiwu smiled and did not answer Xue Jinzhu. She had nothing to do here, so she planned to return to the inn. At this moment, a car drove over. Li Xiwu looked up and recognized at a glance that it was Pei Jingzhous car. She was stunned for two to three seconds before walking over without hesitation. Xue Jinzhu was about to stop Li Xiwu when she saw the person in the car and immediately shut her mouth. Gu Lanshi watched this scene quietly, his eyes dark. The car stopped. A moment later, Pei Jingzhou got out of the drivers seat. He had driven here personally. After closing the door, he opened the door to the backseat and lifted out two very large dust bags. Then he walked towards Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu stopped when she got there. She stood there quietly and watched Pei Jingzhou walk towards her step by step. Her gaze fell on him. It had probably been a long time since shed seen him go out dressed so casually. A white shirt with a thick woven vest over it. Although casual, it still made it impossible to look away. Li Xiwu remembered that Pei Jingzhou had always been a particular person. On many occasions, he would dress very formally and not casually. Most of the time, he would wear a formal three-piece suit or two-piece suit without a tie. He was mature and full of charm. It was rare to see him dressed so casually outside today. He came over and stood in front of her. She looked at his cold face and was a little distracted. Fourth Brother. He nodded and took her hand first. Feeling the coldness of her palm, he lowered his voice. Been out long? For once, Li Xiwu didnt pull away and let him hold her hand. Only for a while. Pei Jingzhou held her hand and walked in. As Li Xiwu followed him, she took the opportunity to withdraw her hand. Pei Jingzhou looked down at his empty palm and did not say anything. Thinking she didnt like his contact, he suddenly heard her say, Either let me carry these two dust bags or change your hand. Pei Jingzhou immediately understood what she meant. He smiled and changed the two dust bags to carry them in one hand, freeing the other to hold her hand. This time, before he could bend down, Li Xiwu took the initiative to hold his hand. Isnt this better? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Whats the difference? Li Xiwu walked beside him, her voice unintelligible. The difference between healing faster. She was thinking about his injured hand, so she specially asked for another hand to hold. Pei Jingzhou did not reply. Li Xiwu was quietly led by him. At this moment, Gu Lanshi, who was not far away, quietly looked at Pei Jingzhou, who had just arrived. The other party seemed to have sensed something and looked up in his direction. There was no ripple in either mans eyes. It was as if he had never known him. Pei Jingzhou quickly retracted his gaze and held Li Xiwus hand as they returned to the inn. C Gu Lanshi also retracted his gaze and looked at Xue Jinzhu. Miss Xue. When Xue Jinzhu heard Gu Lanshis voice, she looked away. She looked at Gu Lanshi. What? Gu Lan chuckled softly. Miss Xue, is there anything you need? I happen to have time now. I can help you prepare it. Xue Jinzhu thought about it carefully. She couldnt bring too much luggage. She just had to bring two thick clothes. There didnt seem to be anything she needed, so she shook her head. No. At this moment, Tang Xian said, Was that person just now Xiwus lover? Xue Jinzhu perked up at the mention of this topic and nodded. Thats right. That handsome man just now is Sister Lis husband. Hes been on a variety show before, but its only the first two episodes. The two of us havent come yet. Tang Xian raised her lips. I know that. Xue Jinzhu asked, Auntie Tang, have you seen Sister Lis husband before? Tang Xian looked at Xue Jinzhu and smiled faintly. Ive seen him before, but we havent interacted much. Xue Jinzhu nodded. She wanted to ask Gu Lanshi, but she remembered that he had already recognized Sister Li as her and had never seen her before, so it was even more impossible for him to have seen President Pei. So she stopped talking and didnt ask. Tang Xian said, You guys chat first. Im going in. Seeing that Tang Xian had gone in, Xue Jinzhu naturally had no reason to be alone with Gu Lanshi. After all, they were not really a couple. She was quite embarrassed. When she took a step forward and was about to enter, Gu Lanshi stopped her. Miss Xue. Xue Jinzhu stopped in her tracks. Huh? Gu Lanshis expression was calm. I dont know much about this variety show. Xue Jinzhu: So? Gu Lanshi turned to look at her with a dark gaze. Can I ask you some questions? Chapter 148 - 148 Pei Jingzhou: My Wife Is Especially Gentle To Me Today 148 Pei Jingzhou: My Wife Is Especially Gentle To Me Today Gu Lanshi wanted to understand Mother-in-Law Joys variety show? Then if he asked Master Tang, wouldnt she know better than her?! Xue Jinzhu frowned. Actually I suggest you ask Master Tang. She might know more. Gu Lanshis lips curled up. This time, your production team arranged to go to Mount Liang to do charity. Im not sure about the details, and my mother didnt say much. Xue Jinzhu asked, So you want to know more about the charity were doing on Mount Liang? Gu Lanshi nodded. Yes. That works too. Xue Jinzhu happily cooperated. When the director had informed her last night, she had listened carefully and could say a thing or two. However, she and Tang Xian were a combination mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Gu Lanshi was Tang Xians son. Now that they were also a temporary boyfriend and girlfriend, they had to cooperate. She was not afraid anymore. On the contrary, Xue Jinzhu was even more curious about Gu Lanshi now. Before Gu Lanshi could ask the question he wanted to know, Xue Jinzhu said, May I ask what you do? Gu Lanshi did not answer immediately. He handed the jacket in his hand to Xue Jinzhu. Its a little cold. Put on this winter coat. Xue Jinzhu took it without hesitation, but she did not wear it. She was born to love beauty. Other than casually taking care of her beauty when she was alone, as long as there was someone around, she would maintain her beautiful side. This winter coat was very thick. She would look fat with this one and affect her beauty. She hugged the winter coat and repeated what shed just said. You havent told me what you do for a living. Gu Lanshi smiled. Miss Xue, you didnt read the script? Xue Jinzhu was stunned for a few seconds. Ever since she entered the variety show, she had never seriously read the script. But she couldnt admit that she really hadnt looked, so she wasnt going to ask again. Just as she was about to brush this question off, she heard Gu Lanshi say, Translator. Xue Jinzhus eyes darted around as she thought to herself, Its not a very powerful identity! He was just a translator. It was a very common identity. Who said that Master Tangs son had a powerful background and seemed to be quite a powerful person?! Gu Lanshi took in Xue Jinzhus expression. Miss Xue, what are you thinking? Xue Jinzhu answered, I dont believe in rumors. Gu Lanshi chuckled. Miss Xue, do you think I made up a career? Xue Jinzhu quickly shook her head. I-I didnt think so. With that, Xue Jinzhu asked, You just said that you wanted to understand about this trip to Mount Liang to do charity work. Gu Lanshi smiled. Lets talk inside. Its too cold outside. Xue Jinzhu could not stay outside and wanted to go in. When she heard the other partys suggestion, she hurriedly nodded. C Li Xiwu brought Pei Jingzhou back to the upper floor of the inn. As soon as she entered the room, Pei Jingzhou grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the wall. The dust bag fell to the ground. He didnt care. He cupped her face and kissed it. Li Xiwu looked up to accept his gentleness. After a moment, her breathing was a little ragged. After calming her breathing a little, her expression changed. I thought Fourth Brother was joking last night. I didnt think you would come today. His palm slid behind her ear, the pad of his finger caressing the mastoid bone behind her ear. You dont trust me that much? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows at him. I do. The word fell. Pei Jingzhous kiss landed at the same time. This time, she didnt know how much time had passed. Li Xiwus breathing became even more ragged. It was a mess, and her eyes were misty. She regulated her breathing as his voice rang in her ears. Do you know the man outside? Li Xiwu paused for a moment, then smiled calmly. There are staff passing by outside and a director who woke up early. I wonder which man Fourth Brother is talking about? Pei Jingzhou lowered his head and sucked on Li Xiwus lips. Li Xiwu frowned. Her lips hurt a little. No, to be precise, it was a mixture of pain and numbness. She raised her hand to touch her lips and smiled. I always say that Fourth Brother is a dog, but Fourth Brother doesnt admit it. Pei Jingzhou hugged her waist. Then you must be a cat. You always scratch ruthlessly. Li Xiwu corrected her. There are no cats in the zodiac. Pei Jingzhou said, I didnt say zodiac. I only said attributes. Li Xiwu was speechless. What twisted logic! Pei Jingzhou had personally found a dust bag to put away the two coats. Before putting them away, he had specially taken care of them. He did not use anyone elses hands the entire time. After putting them away, he personally drove them over. Li Xiwu rarely saw Pei Jingzhou drive himself. When she saw him driving again today, he was actually an errand boy who had specially come to deliver clothes. She wanted to laugh but didnt. She pressed the corners of her lips together. The two of them talked for a while. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou mentioned Gu Lanshi again. Have you seen that person? Li Xiwu was in a good mood and answered seriously. Ive never seen him before, but he feels familiar. With that, she saw Pei Jingzhous jaw tighten and his expression gradually tighten. She frowned. Does Fourth Brother know him? Pei Jingzhou looked at Li Xiwu quietly for a long time before answering, Yes. Pei Jingzhou did not know that Xue Jinzhus mother-in-law was Tang Xian. If it was just Tang Xian, it was fine. However, the real reason why Tang Xian was on this variety show was probably not to promote embroiderys culture, but Gu Lanshis arrangement. Li Xiwus appearance on this variety show meant that more and more people were destined to look for her soon. Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhous unpredictable expression and guessed, Did Fourth Brother have any grudges with Gu Lanshi in the past? Pei Jingzhous eyes darkened. Theres a little conflict. Li Xiwu said, Is it convenient to tell me? Pei Jingzhou looked at her and smiled. My wife is especially gentle to me today. Li Xiwus lips pressed down. Was I fierce before? Pei Jingzhou said, A little. Li Xiwu: How was she fierce? Pei Jingzhou looked at her lively expression. You want to know about my conflict with Gu Lanshi? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. She didnt think Pei Jingzhou would really tell her. So she raised her hand to push him away and bent to pick up her jacket from the dust bag on the floor. Just as she stood up, Pei Jingzhous voice came from behind. We sparred. Li Xiwus eyebrows jumped. She turned around and looked at him. Fourth Brother fought with Gu Lanshi? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. Compared to knowing that the two of them had fought, Li Xiwu wanted to know more. Did Fourth Brother beat him? Pei Jingzhou said, No. Li Xiwu: When she found out that Pei Jingzhou had fought Gu Lanshi and did not defeat him, Li Xiwu thought meaningfully: Pei Jingzhou actually had times when he could not defeat others Pei Jingzhou glanced at Li Xiwus expression and knew what she was thinking. There was a dim smile on his lips. I was a little injured before that. I was at a disadvantage. After Li Xiwu analyzed, she said, A light injury shouldnt affect Fourth Brothers performance unless its a serious injury Serious injuries With that, Li Xiwu was stunned. When had Pei Jingzhou been seriously injured? Chapter 149 - 149 He Stated His Relationship With Li You 149 He Stated His Relationship With Li You Li Xiwu did not know much about Pei Jingzhous past. In the three years she had been by his side, other than working, she had been doing her duty as Mrs. Pei. She had never tried to understand Pei Jingzhous past. She had been surprised by her analysis during the few exchanges. If Pei Jingzhou was not joking and was telling the truth, then had he really been seriously injured in the past? Pei Jingzhou poured a glass of water and drank it. After drinking it, he turned around and saw that Li Xiwu was still standing there thinking about something, so he walked up to her with a glass and reminded her in a low voice, Its colder in Mount Liang than in the capital. Take care to keep warm. Dont catch a cold. Okay. Li Xiwu looked up at him quietly. Pei Jingzhous lips curled up. Your gaze will make me think that your heart aches for me. Li Xiwu added, Yes, a little. Pei Jingzhou played with the glass with his well-defined fingers. Ill take it seriously. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Even if I see a puppy drenched by the roadside, my heart will ache. Pei Jingzhou: Li Xiwu had never disappointed Pei Jingzhou in terms of spoiling the mood. Li Xiwu was still holding two dust bags in her arms. She raised them slightly. Thank you, Fourth Brother, for coming here personally. Pei Jingzhou said, It sounds a little perfunctory. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Was it someone else who pressed me down to kiss me just now? Pei Jingzhou looked up at her. How can the intimacy between husband and wife be counted? Li Xiwu smiled and turned around. Fourth Brother also said that. Were husband and wife, do I have to kneel and thank you? Pei Jingzhou looked at her slender back and the smile on his lips deepened. Kneeling is a good suggestion, but Im afraid I have to do something else. Li Xiwu: She put her coat in her suitcase, zipped it, and picked it up again. They were leaving for the airport after ten. The estimated landing time arranged by the production team was one oclock. The live broadcast would start at one-thirty. There was still a two-hour journey between them before they arrived at their destination. Li Xiwu looked at the time and looked up at Pei Jingzhou. When are you leaving? The question was so straightforward. It sounded like she was shooing him away. Pei Jingzhou sat in his chair with no intention of leaving. Im not in a hurry. Li Xiwu walked over to Pei Jingzhou. Fourth Brother,are you worried that you will bump into Gu Lanshi because he is still here? After all, losing a spar is quite embarrassing. Pei Jingzhou: He looked up at her. Why do I think youre watching a joke? Li Xiwu licked her dry lips. How would I dare to watch Fourth Brother make a fool of himself? Pei Jingzhou stared at Li Xiwus lips. Youve laughed eight hundred times in your heart. Li Xiwu almost couldnt suppress the smile on her face, afraid that she would really laugh out loud. Ill go down first. Fourth Brother, you dont have to tell me when you leave later. She turned to go downstairs. Just as she placed her hand on the doorknob, Pei Jingzhou hummed softly. Li Xiwus raised hand paused and she turned to look at him. Pei Jingzhou was frowning and scratching his sleeve to check something. Li Xiwu focused and turned back. Whats wrong with the wound? Pei Jingzhou calmly lowered his sleeves. Its fine. You can leave. Ill leave after sitting for a while. Li Xiwus lips tightened. She did not notice it just now, but now she realized that Pei Jingzhous face was a little pale. She had planned to go downstairs when she suddenly pulled a chair over. After sitting down, she reached out to him. Let me see. Before she could touch Pei Jingzhous hand, he avoided her outstretched hand and said calmly, What are you looking at? Li Xiwus hand froze in midair. She looked up at Pei Jingzhou quietly and said, Hand. Pei Jingzhou smiled. My hand is fine. Li Xiwu was expressionless. Fourth Brother doesnt want to add to the injury, right? In the next second, Pei Jingzhou silently stretched out his hand in front of Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu gently pressed Pei Jingzhous hand down. Why didnt you do this earlier? Pei Jingzhou looked at her. My wife was still very gentle to me just now. Li Xiwu said, Fourth Brother also knows that it was just now. With that, Li Xiwu rolled up the sleeve on Pei Jingzhous arm. He had changed the layers of gauze last night. They looked clean and showed no signs of bleeding. She used her fingertips to press around his wound. She clearly did not press where the wound was, but she heard Pei Jingzhou hiss. Li Xiwu froze and looked up at him. Does it hurt? Pei Jingzhou suppressed the smile on his lips. It doesnt hurt. Li Xiwu: ? Pei Jingzhou said seriously, My heart itches. Li Xiwu: C Outside the inn. The sky was already bright. Mrs. Pei! Han Qianye stretched and yawned as she went down the steps. Suddenly, she was called Mrs. Pei. She was stunned and stared at the person who had called her just now. When Gu Lanshi came out not long after entering the inn, he saw Han Qianye and walked towards him. Han Qianye first looked around but did not see the camera or anyone else. Then, she looked at the person walking towards her in confusion. You are? Gu Lanshi said, Im Gu Lanshi. There was nothing wrong with such a self-introduction. However, Han Qianye did not know Gu Lanshi, she was still confused after hearing Gu Lanshis self-introduction. After going down the last step, Gu Lanshi walked up to her. Mrs. Pei Han Qianye interrupted, Wait you should call me Auntie Han. Gu Lanshi nodded gentlemanly. Auntie Han. After Gu Lanshi clearly explained his identity, Han Qianye came to a realization. So youre Tang Xians son, but how do you know me? Calling her Auntie Han was because he knew her through this show. But calling her Mrs. Pei meant another kind of knowing! Gu Lanshi explained, Im Mr. Lis student. Han Qianye reacted. Li Huaisheng? Gu Lanshi nodded. Yes, Uncle Li and Professor Han are also good friends. When I was learning from Uncle Li, I happened to see you at Professor Han and Uncle Lis gathering banquet. Han Qianye smiled faintly. So thats what happened. She had to admit that this kid had a good memory. This must have been a long time ago. The kid could still remember her. However, on second thought, this kid was personally taught by Li Huaisheng. He must be very talented, so his memory was naturally outstanding. However, as she smiled, she suddenly thought of something and the friendly smile on Han Qianyes face gradually disappeared. She suddenly looked at Gu Lanshi. Youre Li Huaishengs student. Doesnt that mean youve seen Li You before? Gu Lanshi stared into Han Qianyes eyes. Li You is my junior sister. Han Qianye: Junior Sister That wasnt just seeing her before That must be the extent of their close relationship Chapter 150 - 150 Cant Let Go. Hes Suffered For Four Years 150 Cant Let Go. Hes Suffered For Four Years Li Xiwu and Li You looked alike. Did Gu Lanshi know? Han Qianyes mind suddenly froze. Then why are you here today? The smile on Gu Lanshis lips was deep. My mother brought her future daughter-in-law on a variety show. What else can I do? Han Qianye had not thought about it carefully just now. Now that Gu Lanshi reminded her, she finally realized that Gu Lanshi was Xue Jinzhus boyfriend! She remembered that she had heard from Li Xiwu that this third group was a combination of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Since they were a combination, they were completely unrelated. In that case, Xue Jinzhu and Gu Lanshi were not really boyfriend and girlfriend. She understood this point. Han Qianyes expression immediately turned solemn. Youve watched variety shows before, right? Gu Lanshi smiled bitterly. I didnt watch it. I only found out yesterday that my mother was on this variety show, so I specially took leave and rushed back. Han Qianye immediately turned around. I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have left something behind when I was packing my luggage. I have to hurry back and see if I left anything behind. Im sorry. Gu Lanshi looked at Han Qianyes back view as she hurriedly returned to the inn, and the smile on his face faded a little. At this moment, Tang Xian came out of the inn and bumped into Han Qianye, who was about to enter. She stopped her. Qianye, why are you in such a hurry? Han Qianye stopped in her tracks and pointed upstairs. Im not done packing. Ill go up and pack. Tang Xian reminded her, Slow down. Dont fall when you walk so fast. Han Qianye waved as she walked. Its fine. Seeing Han Qianye enter, Tang Xian retracted her gaze and walked towards Gu Lanshi. Lanshi, Tang Xian shouted as she approached. Gu Lanshi lowered his eyes and looked at Tang Xian. Tang Xians heart ached when she saw her son like this. After seeing Miss Li today, its time to untie this knot in your heart. Gu Lanshis voice was low and hoarse. I cant undo it. Tang Xian sighed softly. No matter how much they look alike, theyre not the same person. You should have let go long ago. Gu Lanshis jaw tightened, and the dark emotions in his eyes suddenly fluctuated a little. I cant let go. Cant undo it. Cant let go. It was all Gu Lanshis knot. For four years, he was repeatedly tortured by these six words every day and night. In Tang Xians words, Gu Lanshi did not let himself off. That was why hed suffered for four years. Now, he learned from his friend that there was a person who looked like Li You on a variety show. At first, he was disdainful because he thought that no matter how similar she looked, she was not Li You. The real Li You would forever stay in Country T and never come back. Until he watched the variety show. He saw Li Xiwu on the variety show. At that moment, he panicked. Why did she look so similar Especially her expression, eyes, every frown and smile If it was just a resemblance, he probably wouldnt want to meet her personally. However, Li Xiwus husband was Pei Jingzhou. Just this alone was enough to make Gu Lanshi put down everything for the time being just to rush here to see her. He wanted to verify her true identity personally. C At this moment, Han Qianye had already returned upstairs. She walked to the door of Li Xiwu and raised her hand to pat it. Li Xiwu? Li Xiwu? Li Xiwu, are you up? Li Xiwu? In the room, Li Xiwu, who was being kissed by Pei Jingzhou, was speechless. She pushed the man on top of her. Auntie came to call me. Pei Jingzhou closed his eyes and slowly got up from Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu wanted to laugh when she saw Pei Jingzhous expression. Suppressing the smile on her lips, she shuffled to the door. When the door opened, Han Qianye was standing outside. When she saw Li Xiwu, she asked, Did you just get up? Li Xiwu said, Ive been up for a while. Whats wrong, Auntie? Han Qianye coughed lightly. The smog outside is a little heavy. Remember to wear a mask. Li Xiwu: ? Was the smog heavy today? It seems that there was no smog today except that the air was a little colder than yesterday. Seeing that Li Xiwu hesitated and did not respond, Han Qianye quickly said, Listen to me. Wear a mask and stop looking cold. Li Xiwu did not ask further and agreed. Okay. Han Qianye heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was in time. She did not want to stop anything. She just did not want others to recognize Li Xiwu as Li You again. Li You was Li You, unique, but Li Xiwu was also unique. Last time, Madam Di Xin and Yu Hewei both recognized Li Xiwu as Li You. To Li Xiwu, she must feel uncomfortable being constantly recognized as someone else. In order to prevent this from happening again, she asked Li Xiwu to wear a mask later so that Gu Lanshi would not see Li Xiwus face. Han Qianye felt that she was really smart. She was about to laugh when she looked up at Li Xiwu and silently retracted her smile. She coughed lightly and raised her head and chest to return to her previous difficult appearance. Hurry up and pack up. The makeup artist should be here soon. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. Han Qianye did not see Pei Jingzhou in Li Xiwus room. After giving her instructions, she turned around and left. Li Xiwu closed the door. Turning around, she saw Pei Jingzhou resting his forehead on one hand and lying on her bed, like a concubine waiting for her to come. She walked to the bed. When are you leaving, Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhou had no intention of leaving. Are you annoyed by me so quickly? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. The makeup artist will be here soon. Well leave at ten sharp. Pei Jingzhou said, I know. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Maybe its because she knew that she had misunderstood him. She realized that she was quite obedient to him today. If he wanted to kiss, she would kiss him, if he wanted to touch her, she would let him touch her. Her tone was much gentler, although she had not been fierce before. Half an hour later, the makeup artist came in. When the makeup artist entered and saw Pei Jingzhou in the room, her originally casual expression became restrained in the next second. Li Xiwu saw the makeup artists restraint and sat down to tie up her hair. Just pretend he doesnt exist. The makeup artist was secretly speechless. How could she pretend that such a living person did not exist The rest of the makeup process didnt go too smoothly. This was probably the slowest time the makeup artist had done Li Xiwus makeup. Pei Jingzhous existence was a cold magnetic field that could not be ignored. Not long after, breakfast was arranged by the production team to be sent to the room. Li Xiwu let Pei Jingzhou eat first. Pei Jingzhou took a boiled egg and slowly peeled it before feeding it to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu: She had never been pretentious. She ate it when it fed to her. In a few bites, an egg was gone. Pei Jingzhou thoughtfully took the cup and fed it to Li Xiwu. Drink slowly. It was difficult for the makeup artist beside her to ignore this scene. At the same time, she found it strange. The man who clearly looked so cold and unapproachable was patient and gentle with his wife. While Pei Jingzhou went to wash his hands, the makeup artist finally had a chance to speak. Miss Li, you and your lover are so close. Chapter 151 - 151 Li Xiwu Began Investigating What Happened Four Years Ago 151 Li Xiwu Began Investigating What Happened Four Years Ago Li Xiwu was wiping the corners of her mouth with a tissue. When she heard the makeup artists words, she smiled. Do you think so? The makeup artist said, I didnt think so. I saw it with my own eyes. After a pause, the makeup artist added, If I heard it, I probably wouldnt believe it so much, but I saw it with my own eyes. Theres no mistake. Li Xiwu still only smiled and said nothing. Because they were going to a poor mountain area, her makeup could not be too bright. It was all plain, and her lip gloss was also a light pink. Such makeup was still unbelievably beautiful on Li Xiwus face. It was almost ten in the morning. Li Xiwu was about to push her suitcase downstairs. This time, she did not ask Pei Jingzhou when he was leaving. She only said, Fourth Brother, Im leaving. Pei Jingzhou nodded. As he watched Li Xiwu push her suitcase away, Pei Jingzhous vision suddenly blurred. Those memories that had been sealed for a long time became clear again as they entered his mind. Im leaving. Wait for me to come back. Ill see you on New Years Eve. C When Li Xiwu went downstairs, she remembered Han Qianyes reminder and took out her mask to put it on. Gu Lanshi was still downstairs. He saw Li Xiwu wearing a mask from the crowd and stared at her for a moment before looking away. There were four cars in total. Tang Xian waved at Gu Lanshi. Go back early. Xue Jinzhu was about to get into the car when Tang Xian pulled her back and hinted at her with her eyes. Xue Jinzhu reacted and quickly imitated Tang Xians gesture and waved at Gu Lanshi. Im leaving. Go back early. Dont miss me too much. Bye~ Tang Xian: There was an obvious smile in Gu Lanshis eyes. I wish you all the best. Xue Jinzhu threw a passionate flying kiss. I will~ Then she hurried to the car. Tang Xian didnt know whether to laugh or cry. She quickly got into the car. After that, Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen got into a car. Immediately after, Min Hanrong and Tao Jing got into a car. Finally, it was Li Xiwu and Han Qianye. Before getting into the car, Li Xiwu turned around and looked at Gu Lanshi. When she looked back, she realized that Gu Lanshi was also looking at her, and he had been looking at her for a long time. Han Qianye noticed that Li Xiwu turned around and met Gu Lanshis eyes. She quickly pulled Li Xiwus arm. Get in. Li Xiwu looked away and leaned over to get into the car. The cars heading to the airport had already set off one after another. Buzz. Li Xiwus phone vibrated. It was a WeChat notification. She opened WeChat. It was a WeChat message from Pei Jingzhou: [Have a safe trip.] This was the most common blessing and the most sincere. Li Xiwu typed a reply: [Okay.] Then she put her phone away. She glanced sideways at Han Qianye and saw that Han Qianye was also looking at her phone. From her angle, she could barely see that the page of Han Qianyes phone was a design of a certain jewelry design. Han Qianye must have planned to customize the necklace recently and was currently looking at the design. Li Xiwu called out, Auntie. Han Qianye did not look up and only replied with a hum. Li Xiwu took the opportunity to speak. I want to ask you something. Han Qianye still did not look up. Ask away. Li Xiwu asked directly, Was Fourth Brother seriously injured once in his early years? Regarding this matter, Li Xiwu remained calm and did not ask, but she could not suppress the curiosity in her heart. She wanted to know if Pei Jingzhou had really been seriously injured in his early years. Han Qianyes fingertips paused. She turned to Li Xiwu. Why do you ask? Li Xiwu tilted her head and smiled. I was just asking. Han Qianye pursed her lips and took a deep breath, wondering if she should say it. She also wanted to help her son pretend to be miserable, but this misery was for Li You. If she said it, he would not be pretending to be miserable. It would only speed up the divorce between her son and her daughter-in-law. This was too difficult Li Xiwu could tell that Han Qianye was in a difficult position. She wanted to know, but she couldnt keep asking. However, most of it was indeed because of curiosity. After hesitating for a moment, she was about to withdraw the topic when Han Qianye suddenly said, He was seriously injured At the mention of that matter, Han Qianye did not feel too good. She paused for a moment before continuing, That time, Jingzhou stayed in the ICU for seventeen days before his vital signs stabilized. After he was transferred to the ordinary ward, he stayed for another twenty days before returning home. Li Xiwu was ready to know about this. However, when he heard Han Qianye say that Pei Jingzhou was so seriously injured that he had been staying in the ICU for more than half a month, her heart skipped a beat. Initially, she thought that the injury was probably a little serious, but she definitely did not expect it to be so serious that she would be in the ICU for so long. There was something she remembered. It was said that after living in the ICU for so long, it was often a narrow escape to survive. Li Xiwu adjusted her unsteady breathing. When was that? Han Qianye stuttered. Six, seven years ago Li Xiwus lips tightened. Pei Jingzhou was seriously injured. Han Qianye could clearly remember how long he had stayed in the ICU and ordinary wards, but she could not remember if it was six or seven years ago. Han Qianye stole a glance at Li Xiwus expression and could tell that she did not believe her. She also sighed that her lying skills were not good enough. Seven years was seven years. Six years was six years. Why did she say six or seven years? She could even say clearly that he stayed in the ICU for seventeen days and twenty days in the ordinary ward. But it was stuck at six or seven years. Stupid! Han Qianye, youre so stupid! I said six or seven years casually. Han Qianye smiled. Actually, it was four years ago. Before Li Xiwu could speak, Han Qianye quickly added, I wont tell you the details. Dont ask. That was in Jingzhous matters. Its in the past. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Okay. If she said she wouldnt ask, she really wouldnt. Li Xiwu was very calm. After arriving at the airport, they boarded the plane. The location where the production team booked the plane tickets was also next to each other. Li Xiwu and Han Qianye sat together. Perhaps it was because she woke up early today, Han Qianye was very sleepy. She slept the moment she boarded the plane. Even the U-shaped pillow could not stop her. Li Xiwu wasnt sleepy at all. Before the plane took off, she opened her WeChat chat with Qiao Qiao before the Internet was turned off. She typed slowly and sent Qiao Qiao a WeChat message: [I just got on the plane. Im going to Mount Liang.] Qiao Qiao replied to Li Xiwus WeChat quickly: [Have a safe trip. Send me a message when you land.] Li Xiwu replied: [Okay.] Qiao Qiao sent another cute emoji. Li Xiwu stared at the emoji pack for a long time. At this moment, she should have turned off her phone in flight mode. After thinking for dozens of seconds, she typed another line of words and sent it to Qiao Qiao: [Ask your friend to help me check what happened to Pei Jingzhou four years ago.] Chapter 152 - 152 Find a Way to Approach Li Xiwu 152 Find a Way to Approach Li Xiwu They landed after nearly three hours of flight. The four groups boarded the production teams minibus. It was an hour and a halfs drive. After taking a short rest along the way, they boarded a few off-road vehicles one after another. The reason why they had changed to an off-road vehicle was that the road into the mountains was really rugged. Xue Jinzhu and Tang Xian were in the same SUV as Li Xiwu and Han Qianye. Tang Xian sat in the front passenger seat. Although her eyes were closed, it was obvious that she was not used to the bumpy ride. Han Qianye and Xue Jinzhus expressions were extremely ugly. Even Li Xiwu did not look too good. In the other car, Min Hanrong, Tao Jing, Xiang Lan, and Xu Muzhen were in similar situations. The mountain path was too steep and the bumps along the way were really intense. When they reached a section of the road, there were too many potholes. The car swayed so badly that everyone in the car was frightened. Xue Jinzhu shouted, Sir, drive slower. Is the car going to flip over?! Tang Xian also opened her eyes. Sir, drive slower. The driver was a local and knew this part of the road well. He smiled and comforted everyone. You havent seen our road here. Its always been like this. Ive been driving for years without incident. Dont worry. Ill definitely get you to your destination safely. Xue Jinzhu turned around and hugged Li Xiwus arm. Sister Li I feel so uncomfortable Li Xiwu held Xue Jinzhus hand. We should be there in twenty minutes. Bear with it. Xue Jinzhu felt extremely uncomfortable. This road is almost driving my internal organs out. Sister Li, I really want to vomit, but Im afraid of vomiting my intestines out. I feel that my intestines are already scattered. Under normal circumstances, Li Xiwu could still smile and treat it as a joke. But in the current situation, no one could smile except the driver. The driver even joked, There are pockets. Remember to vomit into them. They can still hold your intestines when they come out. You can stuff them back in later. [Thats not funny at all.] [I feel that Xue Jinzhu is about to faint in the next second.] [As someone who came from Mount Liang, my mentality is actually no different from a driver.] [The locals really dont think much of it, but outsiders really suffered.] [Everyone was still talking and laughing in the minibus. Xue Jinzhu was the happiest. Hahaha, Xue Jinzhu is really pitiful now.] [Currently, only Tang Xian, Xiang Lan, Xu Muzhen, and Li Xiwu are temporarily strong. The other four feel like theyre going to vomit in the car in the next second.] [When the officials posted on Weibo, I knew that this trip was very difficult. I didnt expect it to be so difficult.] [This camera is really shaking. Its making my head spin. Ill come and watch it when they reach their destination.] From the moment the plane landed, the minibus was the most popular online. Ever since they got into the SUV, the online popularity had decreased. It couldnt be helped. The camera was too shaky. Netizens were getting dizzy watching the live broadcast. It was a bumpy journey. The five SUVs and two supply trucks finally arrived at the village club in Xinzhao Village. The people who wanted to get out of the car all the way did not want to get out after arriving at their destination. They only wanted to lie in the car and relax. Xue Jinzhu let go of Li Xiwus arm. Sister Li, my internal organs must have moved. Ill lie down for a while to see if I can return them to its original position. The pale Han Qianye said with difficulty, Dont worry about me. Ill lie down for a while. Li Xiwu left the car door open so that the two of them could get some air when they rested. Xiwu? Tang Xian shouted. Li Xiwu answered, Here. Tang Xian walked over and asked Li Xiwu with concern, Are you carsick? Actually, Li Xiwu didnt look particularly good either, but she still said, Its fine. After hearing this, Tang Xian reached out to support Li Xiwu. Then Ill support you a little. Im not carsick. Its just that my back hurts after being on such a bumpy ride for so long. Tang Xian meant well, so Li Xiwu did not refuse. After Xu Muzhen got out of the car, she stretched her muscles. Xiang Lan walked down and asked, Are you dizzy? Xu Muzhen chuckled. I was thinking that it was over when I got into the SUV. In the end, I was very happy along the way and became more and more energetic. Xiang Lan said, Its finally beneficial for you to exercise more with me. At this moment, Xu Muzhen reached out and tugged at Xiang Lans sleeve. Mom, look over there There were two little boys dressed in rags over there. The little boys skin was either dark or a little dirty, but his eyes were bright. He was looking curiously at the cars that had just arrived. Looking further back, the entire Xinzhao Village was filled with tattered adobe houses. A few of the adobe houses were covered with tiles, and the other roofs were thatched. The only ceramic tile visible was the village club in front of them. If she hadnt seen it with her own eyes, Xu Muzhen would have found it hard to believe that there was such a poor and backward place. Tang Xian, who was beside her, was also shocked by the scene in front of her. Were living too well. We forgot that there are so many hardships in the world. [The official Weibo account said that this is Xinzhao Village. Its considered the poorest village in the mountain area.] [Two carts of supplies. How nice.] [Mother-in-law Joy not only brings joy to people, but its also full of positive energy.] [Wuwuwu, Tang Xians words hit me hard. We live in a big city and cant see the sufferings of the world.] [I heard that the donation of resources this time is a transformation from the first two live broadcasts. The production team is very considerate.] [I thought the poor mountainous areas on television were too exaggerated. After seeing reality, I realized that the television dramas were all quite good.] At this moment, the door of the village club opened and three people came out. The person in front was the person in charge of the village clubs donation. His name was Ding Wei. His skin was a little dark, and he was wearing a thick jacket. He walked very quickly and was walking over quickly. When the two little boys saw him, they smiled and called, Uncle Wei. Ding Wei agreed, then said, Youre both frozen like dogs. Go inside and warm yourself by the fire. Obediently, the two little boys went in, bickering. Ding Wei, who had walked over, wiped his hands on his body and handed them over enthusiastically. Hello, Im the person in charge of receiving donations from Xinzhao Village. My name is Ding Wei. Tang Xian held out her hand. Hello, Ding Wei. Ding Wei quickly introduced the two people behind him. Theyre my colleagues, Naibao and Ah Yue. Apart from the fact that Ding Wei was not a local, Naibao and Ah Yue were both locals. Both of them looked a little shy, but their smiles were sincere. After shaking hands, Ding Wei bowed. Its been hard on you. On behalf of the entire people of Xinzhao Village, I thank you. Tang Xian quickly helped him up. Youre the ones who have worked hard. Ding Wei looked up at Tang Xian. Tang Xian said, I know. Youve been guarding Xinzhao Village for eight years. For eight whole years, Xinzhao Village has gotten better bit by bit. You contributed greatly. These words instantly made Ding Weis eyes turn red. After graduation, he came to Xinzhao Village. The colleague who came with him stayed for a year or two before leaving. Only he stayed for eight years. Chapter 153 - 153 You Can Fan An Unpopular Group, But You Cant Fan A Heretic Group! 153 You Can Fan An Unpopular Group, But You Cant Fan A Heretic Group! [Its not easy to hold on for eight years.] [Theres a lack of people like Ding Wei now.] [As expected of Tang Xian. The production team has found the right person this time.] [I inexplicably feel that Sister Li and Master Tang look more like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when they stand together.] [Sister Li is cold and wise, and Master Tang is calm and generous. This matter is the best combination of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in my heart.] [If Brainless were to see the comments, she might faint from crying in the toilet.] Li Xiwu took a packet of tissues from her pocket and was about to pull one out and hand it to Ding Wei. Ding Wei smiled through his tears and raised his hand to wipe his wet and hot eyes with his sleeve. Ill move the supplies now. Li Xiwu smiled faintly and put away the tissue. It would take some time to move the supplies in the two trucks. There were not many people in the village club. There were only five people, including Ding Wei and the two local colleagues. Tang Xian and Li Xiwu helped count and receive some scattered supplies. Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen helped move some. In addition, the production teams driver would help move the goods. There was strength in numbers, so it was not a problem to move them before five. Although the day was cold, she sweated when moving goods. Li Xiwu raised her hand to wipe her sweat. Tang Xian handed her a tissue. Let me help you wipe it. Li Xiwu lowered her raised hand. Thank you. Tang Xian smiled. What are you thanking me for? Dont be so polite. Wiping her sweat was just a small matter. Li Xiwu did not think too much about it. It was not until Tang Xians concern for her increased and became more obvious that Li Xiwu realized that something was amiss. After moving the supplies, it was almost six oclock. It was winter, and the sky was already dark. The supplies would be distributed tomorrow. After that, they still had to go to Xinzhao Village Primary School. Currently, other than the two truck drivers driving away, the entire production team would stay in the village club tonight. The production team had made arrangements in advance, so there was completely enough room to rest. After Naibao and Ah Yue moved the supplies, they returned to the kitchen and busied themselves preparing for dinner tonight. The ingredients were all local dishes. In order to restore their true life in the poor mountainous area, the entire production team had to cooperate with the food here. At this moment, Han Qianye, Min Hanrong, and the others had already gotten out of the car and were sitting in the village club drinking soup. Min Hanrong despised the chipped bowl in her hand. She did not know how many decades it had been used. Although it was clean, it did not look too clean. She could not eat it a few times. Han Qianye was similar to Min Hanrong. The wife of a wealthy family had never come into contact with this before. Her brows were knitted together. Tao Jing could barely adapt, mainly because she did not dare to show her disdain on her face. On the other hand, Xue Jinzhu really could not take it anymore and showed all her unhappiness on her face. In the kitchen. Li Xiwu helped Ah Yue peel the potatoes. Earlier, Ah Yue had told her, The potatoes produced in Mount Liang are very famous. Weiwei said that he would make a few more tonight. Weiweis culinary skills are very good. I hope you will like them. Ah Yue was a little shy and spoke with a strong dialect accent, but if one listened carefully, they could understand what he was saying. At first, Ah Yue didnt say much. Every time Ding Wei said something, he just smiled shyly. It was only when she took the initiative to talk to Ah Yue that he gradually became more talkative. He would say something to Li Xiwu about whatever he was holding. He always liked to share. After interacting with him for a while, Li Xiwu realized that Ah Yue was actually not shy. He was born in this poor mountainous area with an inferiority complex. [Ive seen and experienced it before. Ive substituted some of Ah Yues experiences. Im also 19 years old. I lie on the sofa watching television and dont do my homework, while Ah Yue only went to primary school.] [This episode is really too meaningful.] [I heard that the situation of the village club is relatively good, but in our opinion, the village club is already very poor. I cant imagine how poor the other villagers are] [I announce that Im a die-hard fan of Mother-in-Law Joy from now on.] The knife used to peel potatoes was a little blunt, probably because it had been used for many years. Sometimes it was difficult to control the force. When Li Xiwu was peeling the fifth potato, she suddenly lost control of her strength and accidentally cut her finger. Ah Yue went to find water in a panic. Sister, wash your hands quickly. Li Xiwu looked at her fingertips carefully and smiled faintly. A little wound. Ill be fine. With that, she washed her hands in the water and dried them with the tissues she was wearing. The blood seeped out only a little. It wasnt serious. Ah Yue was still worried. He went to find Ding Wei, who was cooking. Weiwei, Sisters hand is cut! When Ding Wei heard this, he quickly handed the spatula in his hand to Ah Yue. Watch the pot. Ill go find a Band-Aid. Ah Yue quickly took the spatula and looked distractedly in Li Xiwus direction as he flipped the frying pan. Ding Wei went to find a long-standing Band-Aid for Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu thanked him, and Ding Wei felt very guilty. Ah Yue and Naibao can do these. Miss Li, go rest over there. Li Xiwus tone was gentle. Its fine. Tang Xian walked over. Ill stick it on for you. It was such a small matter that she could do it herself. Li Xiwu was about to refuse with a smile when Tang Xian took the Band-Aid from her hand and picked up her hand. Here, stick out your finger. Tang Xian had already opened the band-aid. Li Xiwu couldnt reject it, so she held out her hand. [Ahhhhhhhhh!] [Everyone, calm down. You can fan an unpopular group, but you cant fan a heretic group!! Sister Li has a mother-in-law, and Tang Xian also has a daughter-in-law!!] [Brainless and Unhappy was already interesting, but Ive found that Unhappy and Happy is also interesting.] [Tang Xian is really a model mother-in-law.] [I envy Xue Jinzhu for having such a good mother-in-law. I heard that her boyfriend is very handsome.] [I have something to say that I dont know if I should say] The light in the kitchen wasnt very bright at first. The cameraman switched on a large light and it lit up the entire kitchen. In Naibaos words, Ive never seen the kitchen so bright in my life. I can tell by all the stoves I dont usually clean. Everyone roared with laughter. Even the cameraman was laughing. When dinner was ready, they served it one at a time. The food alone consisted of three dishes: whipped potato, shredded potatoes, and steamed potatoes. It couldnt be helped. There were many potatoes in Mount Liang. There were wholesalers all over the country, but because the prices were low, they couldnt earn much money. Anyway, they had enough to eat. Ding Wei had arranged a total of two tables. One was for the driver, cameraman, and other staff, and the other was for four groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as the people from the village club. Han Qianye looked at the dishes on the table and did not have much of an appetite, so she did not eat much. Li Xiwu lowered her voice and reminded her, Eat more or youll be hungry tonight. There was no natural gas here, no induction stove. If she was hungry in the middle of the night, she had to light up the fire and cook. And it was cold at night. It might snow tonight and she will be cold and hungry. Han Qianye raised her hand and tried to convince herself to eat. But she still didnt reach out with her chopsticks. She sighed. Im not that hungry. You can eat. Chapter 155 - 155 Pei Jingzhou: "Im Jealous. I Cant Stand Seeing You So Happy." 155 Pei Jingzhou: Im Jealous. I Cant Stand Seeing You So Happy. Pei Jingzhou looked up. Assistant Chen seems to be in a good mood. Chen Xin smiled cautiously. Hehe, its alright. Pei Jingzhou said, Is that so? Chen Xin scratched his ears and said in embarrassment, Ill indeed be very happy to be missed by my girlfriend all the time. Pei Jingzhou: After Chen Xin finished speaking, he realized that he had said too much. Miss Li probably did not take a photo of the snow for Mr. Pei. Moreover, not only did she not take a photo, but she might not even have called him. However, he had imperceptibly pierced Mr. Peis heart! Its over! Being in love was really dizzying. Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes and picked up the report again. His voice was cold. Assistant Chen is conscientious. Youre still thinking about returning to the company to work overtime at this time. Im very relieved to have an employee like Assistant Chen. Chen Xin had nothing to live for. Mr. Pei, I was wrong Pei Jingzhou turned a page of the report. Assistant Chen, I just asked if you were in a good mood. How did you answer? Chen Xin was nervous. Its-Its alright. Pei Jingzhous lips twitched. Im jealous. I cant stand to see you so happy. Chen Xin: The driver, who was driving, almost suffered internal injuries from holding back his laughter. His face was almost twisted. Dont laugh, dont laugh. He mustnt laugh, or hell be the next one to suffer! Pei Jingzhou was a man of his word. In the end, Chen Xin complained about his bosss dictatorship while returning to the company to work overtime. However, when he thought about this months salary and the fact that he had to support his girlfriend, he started working! C Pei Jingzhou returned to Lake Lu. After coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe, he went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of red wine and went to the audiovisual room. The flickering light on the curtain shone on him. From time to time, he glanced at his phone, which was lying on the armrest. After what seemed like an eternity, the phone page finally lit up. Pei Jingzhou immediately took the phone. Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Pei Jingzhou sighed and picked it up. Pei Jiaos voice came from the phone. Brother! Im here for business!! Pei Jingzhou narrowed his eyes at the curtain. You want to make money from me? Pei Jiao said, Hehe. Pei Jingzhou said, Tell me. Just from the voice, one could tell that Pei Jiao was excited. God of Fortune, someone wants to investigate you and offered a good price. Im quite tempted. Look, do you want to spend some money to intercept this news? Pei Jingzhou: Intercept? Pei Jiao said, In laymans terms, hush money. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Investigate me for what? Pei Jiao smiled brightly. To investigate what happened to you four years ago. Pei Jingzhou was silent. Pei Jiao could not say much about who wanted to investigate. She had already done something without professionalism. She could not do anything shameless. In any case, whoever gave the most would just have to do the job. Therefore, how could Pei Jiao let go of her brother, the God of Fortune? Pei Jiao asked with a smile, Brother, have you thought about how much money you want to use to intercept it? Before Pei Jingzhou could say anything, Pei Jiao said considerately, Were all family. Brother, dont worry. I wont cheat you. Pei Jingzhou sneered. So you know what I experienced four years ago? Back then, when he returned from Country T and was hospitalized in the ICU, the doctor had even given a notice of critical illness. It was not a secret in the Pei family, but only Mr. and Mrs. Pei knew what he had experienced in Country T and how he was seriously injured. Pei Jiao raised her voice confidently. Dont underestimate me. Of course I know. Pei Jingzhou said, Tell me about it. When Pei Jiao said it accurately, the smile on Pei Jingzhous lips disappeared. What else do you know? Pei Jiao smiled ingratiatingly. Brother, I usually listen to others and never investigate this. This time, someone asked me for help, so I investigated. To be honest, I didnt know about it before. Pei Jingzhous voice became stern. I asked you what else you know. Pei Jiao was shocked and stammered, About how you got injured. What was going on? She hadnt even asked for a price, but the God of Fortune had turned on her. She was so frightened that her tongue was tied in knots. Even though she was frightened to death, she could not forget to ask for money. Pei Jiao mustered her courage. Brother? Brother? If you want me to intercept it, Ill reject this order. If you dont intercept it, Ill take the order. In the past, Pei Jiao would take the order with money after seeing it. This time, when she saw that the person she was investigating was her biological brother, she was a little more cautious. Instead of taking the order directly, she called her brother first. Reporting was the main thing. Next, of course, was money. The God of Fortune was a little fierce, but he gave a lot. When she did not hear Pei Jingzhous voice, Pei Jiao became a little anxious. Brother, say something. If you dont say anything, Ill accept it. Pei Jingzhou said, Im not intercepting it. Pei Jiao was very disappointed. Are you really not going to stop me? Brother, do you want to reconsider? Pei Jingzhou held his phone in his other hand and said in a low voice, Ill transfer you five million yuan later. Youre not allowed to investigate this matter further. If I find out that you took my money but went against my wishes, dont even think about having pocket money for the next three years. When Pei Jiao heard five million yuan, the smile on her lips gradually became impudent. When she heard that she could forget about having pocket money for three years, the smile on her lips froze. Three years? Three years?? What was so serious that he had to stop her pocket money for three years?! Pei Jiao took a deep breath. A gentleman loved money. For the sake of endless pocket money in the future, she would never touch her brothers reverse scale. Fortunately, she was not curious. If shed been more focused on her curiosity in the matter four years ago, she would be crying now. As if afraid that Pei Jingzhou would go back on his word, Pei Jiao quickly agreed. Then lets put it this way. Ill earn both sides money. God of Fortune, youre not allowed to go back on your word. Pei Jingzhou hung up. When Pei Jiao heard the busy tone on the phone, she almost couldnt suppress the excitement in her heart. She told herself first, Calm down! Calm down! It wont be too late to laugh when the five million is transferred. Just as she finished, her phone beeped with a text message. Pei Jiao picked up her phone with trembling hands and opened it. A five-million-yuan remittance message appeared in front of her! The next second, Pei Jiao threw her phone and shouted excitedly, Im rich, Im rich! Im rich! C It was already 10:30 pm. In the big room of the village clubs office, Li Xiwu and Han Qianye slept on the same wooden bed. The blanket was quite thick, and it was a bed with two blankets. It was completely enough. Han Qianye wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and tossed and turned. She could not fall asleep no matter what. She wanted to get up, but the coldness that poured in when she lifted the blanket made her flinch. She shivered and lay back down obediently. Li Xiwu lay quietly. The movements of Han Qianye tossing and turning were infinitely magnified. This situation lasted for about half an hour. At almost 10:30, Li Xiwu suddenly said, Cant you sleep? Han Qianye, who was moving under the blanket, immediately stopped moving. After a long moment, she said awkwardly, I want to go to the toilet. Chapter 156 - 156 Han Qianye Turned Hostile: "Little Pretentious Bitch, I Just Dont Like You." 156 Han Qianye Turned Hostile: Little Pretentious Bitch, I Just Dont Like You. Li Xiwu thought that Han Qianye was not used to such a bed. So she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Actually, no one was used to it. This bed was really hard. There was only a cushion under it, and under the cushion were thick wooden planks. It felt uncomfortable lying flat. Knowing the reason, she threw back the covers and got up. Ill accompany you. When Han Qianye heard this, she quickly lifted the blanket. When she got up, she was not very fast. She glanced at Tang Xian and Xue Jinzhu, who were already asleep in the other bed. She gathered her coral velvet pajamas and wrapped herself in a thick down jacket before following Li Xiwu out the door quietly. The two of them had just left. Xue Jinzhu lifted the blanket and followed them out. It was cold in the mountains in midwinter. Especially after night fell. Not to mention that it was still snowing outside. It was cold and freezing. Her teeth were chattering from the cold when she just crawled out of bed. Li Xiwu turned on the flashlight on her phone and walked in front. Han Qianye stepped on the snow under her feet and walked behind. As she walked, the two of them came together. At this moment, Han Qianye suddenly stopped. At the same time, Li Xiwu stopped. She gripped the phone, her expression tense. Han Qianye remained motionless. Did you hear anything? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Yes. Both of them heard it! Han Qianye became nervous. She slowly reached out to touch Li Xiwus hand. After touching Li Xiwus hand, she immediately grabbed it tightly. She was clearly panicking, but she still said, You-you-you-you-you Dont be afraid. I-I-I-I-Im here. In the middle of the night in the mountains, three sets of footsteps could be heard when two people were walking. Could it be that they had seen a ghost? The two of them slowly turned around. The light of the phone flashlight shone on an enlarged face. Even Li Xiwu, who was mentally prepared, was shocked, let alone Han Qianye. She screamed in fear. That magnified face was Xue Jinzhu. Li Xiwu took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Why did you come out? Xue Jinzhu twirled her fingers. I want to go to the toilet too, but Im too embarrassed to wake someone up to accompany me. When I saw you guys come out just now, I quickly followed you out Han Qianye, who was still in shock, said in a bad tone, Its fine if you follow us out. At least let us know. Do you know how scary it is? Xue Jinzhu felt very aggrieved. I was wrong. Xue Jinzhu thought that as long as she admitted her mistake quickly, she would not be scolded. In fact, she was wrong. No matter how quickly she admitted her mistake, Han Qianye still spoke for a long time. The toilet in the village club was the kind of toilet that was very common in the countryside. It was said that in summer, the sour smell in the toilet would be very strong. It was much better in winter, but one had to be extra careful when going to the toilet because one would miss a step. This was also why Han Qianye and Xue Jinzhu did not dare to go to the toilet alone. They were afraid that they would miss a step if they came alone. Xue Jinzhu carefully came out of the toilet and lowered her head to smell her body. I smell it again. With that, Xue Jinzhu even put her sleeve in front of Li Xiwu. Sister Li, smell it. Is this smell very strong? Li Xiwu said without changing her expression, No. At this moment, Han Qianye also came out. When she saw Xue Jinzhus actions, she stretched out her hand in front of her. My hand seems to have touched something just now. Its too dark to see clearly. Smell it and see what Ive touched. Xue Jinzhu dodged and waved her hand in disdain. Auntie Han, why are you like this? Han Qianye chuckled. Didnt I learn it from you? Xue Jinzhu: The next second, Xue Jinzhu stuck to Li Xiwus side and held her arm. Sister Li, did I do something wrong? Auntie Han doesnt seem to like me very much. Before Li Xiwu could say anything, Han Qianye added, Little pretentious bitch, I just dont like you. Xue Jinzhu turned to Li Xiwu sweetly and said, Sister Li, listen. She called me a little pretentious bitch. There were no cameras and no one else around. It was late at night, and Xue Jinzhus mother-in-law was suspected of poaching. Moreover, she had been shocked just now. With all these added up, Han Qianye was now filled with anger. Han Qianye frowned and said coldly, Arent you a little pretentious bitch? Which normal person speaks like you? Xue Jinzhu pouted. Sister Li, look at her scolding me again. Im not a pretentious bitch. Im just innocent. Do you know what innocence means? Li Xiwu was between them. Every time Han Qianye said something, Xue Jinzhu would complain. Her left and right ears were extremely noisy. She took a deep breath. Are you two done arguing? The two of them, who were arguing one second ago, fell silent the next. Li Xiwu closed her eyes hard. When she spoke, she did not persuade the two of them to stop. Instead, she said, Im tired. Ill go in first. Its a long night. Take your time arguing. With that, Li Xiwu turned on the flashlight on her phone and went back along the way. Only Han Qianye and Xue Jinzhu were left staring at each other. C The next day. Li Xiwu was woken up early in the morning by the chatter outside Why is it snowing so hard all night? I remember when I went to bed last night. It was clearly very light. Ive never seen such snow in my life! Great. I can fulfill the snowmans wish. Li Xiwu opened her eyes and stared at the beam for a while. Xue Jinzhus voice was still intermittent. Someone answered her. It sounded like Ding Wei and Ah Yue. Li Xiwu gently lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She put on her down jacket and tied her scarf around her neck before coming out of the house. She lifted the curtain and was stunned by the scene in front of her. The entire world in her eyes turned white, and everywhere she looked was covered in snow. If she had rarely seen snow, she would definitely be shocked by the scene in front of her. Although it snowed every year in the capital, compared to the snow on Mount Liang, the mood was different. Xue Jinzhu ran over, stepping on the thick snow on the ground. Sister Li, it snowed so heavily last night. Look, it can build a snowman Ah!! Li Xiwu was about to respond. Xue Jinzhu, who was running towards her, suddenly lost her footing and fell forward. Ding Wei was shocked and quickly came over to help Xue Jinzhu. Immediately after, Xue Jinzhus miserable cries sounded. It hurts so much Li Xiwu didnt know whether to laugh or cry at this scene. She was about to go down the steps, but this step was relatively high, and there were only two steps. There was also winter moss on the steps. If she wasnt careful, she would slip. Ah Yue ran over quickly. Sister, sister. Li Xiwu looked up and saw Ah Yue running towards her. He walked up to her and reached out to her. Ill help you down slowly. Dont fall. The dialect accent was strong, but the intention was warm. Chapter 157 - 157 On the Eve of the Trouble, Li Xiwus Choice 157 On the Eve of the Trouble, Li Xiwus Choice Li Xiwu thanked him first, then put her hand on Ah Yues arm and slowly came down the steps. She walked up to Xue Jinzhu and took out a handkerchief from the pocket of her down jacket to wipe her face. How old are you to still cry? It was just a fall. Kids know to stand up and continue playing. Xue Jinzhu showed Li Xiwu her hand. Sister Li, my hand hurts. Look. Li Xiwu smiled. I saw it. Ill blow on it for you. Xue Jinzhus crying face turned into a smile the next second. I knew Sister Li doted on me~ Probably because she saw such a shocking snow scene when she woke up in the morning, Li Xiwu was also in a particularly good mood, so she was very accommodating to Xue Jinzhu. After a while, Xue Jinzhu took out her phone to take photos, videos, and selfies. After taking them, she sent them to Chen Xin. Li Xiwu stood beside her. Why are you up so early today? Xue Jinzhu replied to Li Xiwu as she typed a WeChat message to Chen Xin. Actually, I didnt sleep much the entire night. I woke up at five. Li Xiwu looked at her in surprise. You didnt sleep all night? Are you sure you have the energy for the live broadcast today? Xue Jinzhu did not mind. I usually stay up late like this too. Im used to it. Moreover, the bed here is too hard. My back hurts from lying here all night. I cant sleep at all. Young people like to stay up late. Li Xiwu smiled bitterly. She was like an old person. She rarely stayed up late and basically slept after finishing her work. She often slept earlier than Pei Jingzhou. After sending the WeChat message, Xue Jinzhu turned to look at Li Xiwu. Sister Li, why arent you taking photos? Li Xiwu looked at a snow-covered mountain in the distance and asked, Why do you have to take photos when you see beautiful things? Xue Jinzhu smiled brightly. Because we have to share beautiful things with the most important person. Li Xiwu murmured, The most important person. Xue Jinzhu asked, Isnt Mr. Pei the most important person to Sister Li? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and did not respond. Xue Jinzhu moved closer to Li Xiwu and studied her face seriously. Sister Li, why do I feel that your relationship with Mr. Pei isnt that good? Could it be that all your passionate love has become dull after being married for many years? If thats the case, I dont even dare to marry Brother. When I think about how everything will return to normal after marriage, how boring it will be to get married. Xue Jinzhu said a bunch of things calmly. Li Xiwu smiled as she listened. Dont bring yourself so much premarital anxiety too soon. Its the same when youre in love and when youre married. Xue Jinzhu tilted her head. But I dont think you and Mr. Pei are like that. Last night, they took photos of the snow scenery for their husbands. You didnt, right? Li Xiwu: Look, I was right. Xue Jinzhu circled back to her original position and stood beside Li Xiwu. She crossed her arms and looked at the snow-covered mountains in the distance. Ive always thought that if sharing was lost in the relationship, its equivalent to an end. Li Xiwu savored Xue Jinzhus words. If sharing was lost in the relationship, its equivalent to an end. But to her, it was not equivalent to an end. It was about to end. They had been husband and wife for three years. Looking up was the end. There was no need to cater to anyone. The last decency of the end was enough. C It was almost nine oclock before the other mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws woke up one after another. Yesterday and today were both afternoon live broadcasts. There was no need for everyone to be in a hurry. If they could rest well first, they would rest well and be full of energy. Only then could they complete the afternoon live broadcast better. Finally, at one in the afternoon, the live broadcast officially started. Countless netizens rushed into the live-stream. When they saw the white snow on the camera, they all exploded [After a night, its snowing so much on Mount Liang!!] [I actually saw the first snow of this year in Mother-in-Law Joys live-stream.] [Children who havent seen much snow since they were young express their envy.] [This should be the first snowfall of the year in Mount Liang, right? I didnt expect Mother-in-Law Joys show to be just in time.] [The snow at night is always the most beautiful in the morning.] [I hope it doesnt snow during the day. Otherwise, it will affect everyone from sending supplies to Hope Primary School.] Todays important task was to move the supplies sent yesterday to Hope Primary School bit by bit. Ding Wei said, The village clubs office is half a kilometer from Hope Primary School. Everyone might have to work a little harder. Chapter 158 - 158 On the Eve of An Accident, Li Xiwus Choice 158 On the Eve of An Accident, Li Xiwus Choice Everyone seemed to have no concept of half a kilometer. They felt that it should be a few rounds. It wasnt until they really started moving them that they realized how hard it was. Every one-way trip felt like a long, long time. The hardest part was that it started snowing again during the move. The snow on the road became thicker and thicker. After stepping on it too much, it became very slippery. Almost everyone fell. Xue Jinzhu and Tao Jing fell the most. Their center of gravity was not very stable, so it was easier for them to fall. After almost seven or eight rounds, everyone was exhausted. Seeing that half the supplies were moved and there were still seven or eight rounds left, no one looked happy. [Im tired just looking at it.] [Although everyone has worked hard, this public service is so meaningful.] [Xue Jinzhu is so miserable. Shes been falling.] [Even Sister Li fell. It hurts just to look at it. Although snow is beautiful, its too slippery.] Finally, after three hours, all the supplies were moved to Hope Primary School. Li Xiwu raised her hand to wipe her sweat. When she saw that the bungalow that was built into a primary school did not even have a proper sports field, her hand slowly fell. The feeling in her heart was indescribable. Tang Xian walked over and handed Li Xiwu a bottle of water. Li Xiwu took it and thanked her. Tang Xian said, Hope Primary School, as the name implies, entrusts the hopes of everyone in Xinzhao Village. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Yes, its all hope. Tang Xian looked sideways at Li Xiwu. Arent you very emotional? Li Xiwu lowered her voice a little, trying to hide the change in her voice. A little. Everyone worked hard to move the supplies for the entire afternoon. When the bell rang and more than 30 students came out one after another, all the hard work was no longer hard work. It was worth it. Some of those children were eleven or twelve years old, some were seven or eight years old, and some were even younger, only four years old. They were dressed in colorful clothes. Many of them didnt fit. Other than the fact that the clothes did not fit, some of them were still thinly dressed. Some of the children had sandals on their feet. No one was wrong. It was indeed summer sandals. They looked out at the sports field with cautious curiosity. The people in bright clothes were wearing very thick down jackets. They must be warm. They had never seen furry boots before, and those strange-looking machines. Were they cameras? Would they be cameras that shone people in? The youngest child timidly hid behind his older brother. His small hand, which had not been washed since he went out, grabbed his older brothers sleeve and asked timidly, Why are there so many people today? No one was unmoved by this scene. Min Hanrong looked up and tried to calm herself down because this was the first time she had seen such a heart-wrenching scene. Xiang Lan didnt feel good either. She breathed deeply and adjusted her emotions. Xu Muzhen frowned and bit her lip with a sad expression. Tao Jing secretly wiped her eyes. She could not believe what she was seeing. It was even more oppressive than she had imagined. Even the most heartless Xue Jinzhu fell silent and looked at the children quietly. Tang Xian silently picked up a large bag of down jackets and walked towards the children. Li Xiwu also carried a stack of brand new school bags. Han Qianye picked up the box containing the stationery box and followed. The others took shoes or socks, and some small bread to eat. [Boohoohoo, theyve broken through my defenses.] [Its a cold day. Sandals are something I didnt expect.] [Their eyes are so clear, but it was sad to look at.] [Broke my defenses. This public service is really too meaningful.] [As long as the earth is still spinning, Mother-in-Law Joy will broadcast it live!] This live broadcast scene was too heartbreaking. Many netizens recorded it and posted it on Weibo. Soon, it became a trending topic. After a post called #Mother-in-Law Joy Breaks The Defenses Through Public Good# went on the trending searches, it was directly pushed to the top of the trending searches by the Weibo officials. Not just because it made such significance. The public good had always been the responsibility of the country. The Weibo officials very humanely sent the entries to the top of the trending searches. Moreover, they would occupy the entire days traffic. Many public welfare officials and big shots would forward them. Soon, the entire Weibo was filled with topics about Mother-in-Law Joy doing charity. [After chasing so many variety shows, I really love Mother-in-Law Joy.] [Many peoples defenses broke because of that little boy in sandals, but my defenses broke because they kept saying thank you after receiving the supplies.] [Strongly recommend this variety show, it is full of positive energy.] [I was laughing non-stop when they were carrying supplies and falling, but now Im crying like dogs.] After distributing the supplies, there was time to spend with those children. Jumping rope, kicking shuttlecocks, hopscotch, and eagles catching chicks were everyones usual favorite games. Li Xiwu had been a mother hen once, and Xue Jinzhu had been the eagle. Tao Jing knew how to jump rope, and Xu Muzhen knew how to kick a shuttlecock. The game of hopscotch was taught by the children, and everyone quickly learned it. Every child was having a good time. After that, they participated in a class. At around five-thirty, the public service live broadcast was finally completed. And because they had done something very meaningful, everyone was in a good mood. On the way back, they didnt feel that the road was difficult. Everyone chatted and laughed, taking photos as they walked and chatting happily. Then it began to snow again. It was getting late. Ding Wei looked up at the sky and reminded everyone, Its going to snow hard soon. We have to walk faster. They were originally expected to leave Xinzhao Village this afternoon. But when they finished public welfare, it was too late. Ding Wei told everyone that they could only wait until tomorrow morning to leave. And now it was snowing heavily. They wondered if it would affect the journey down the mountain tomorrow. When everyone heard this, they were all worried. Min Hanrong did not want to stay another night and expressed that she wanted to leave. Ding Wei expressed his respect and asked for the opinions of the others. After all, it would be dangerous to leave overnight, but if the snow was too heavy tomorrow, they would definitely not be able to leave. In the end, after the discussion, Min Hanrong was very insistent on leaving tonight. Tao Jing also stood on her mother-in-laws side. Xue Jinzhu shouted that she had to leave. Staying in a hotel in the city was better than staying here. Han Qianye was also leaving. Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen did not express their stance, but if everyone left, they would definitely leave. Only Tang Xian said, To be safe, Ill leave tomorrow. At this moment, Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu. Then are you leaving? Chapter 159 - 159 Take A Photo of Li Xiwu And Secretly Send It To Another Person 159 Take A Photo of Li Xiwu And Secretly Send It To Another Person For safety and all other considerations, Li Xiwu planned to leave tomorrow morning. If she couldnt leave due to the snow, she would wait until she could. In any case, she didnt have to record a show tomorrow. It didnt matter to her if she stayed in the mountains for another day. So she made her stance clear. Han Qianyes eyelids drooped. Are you really not leaving? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Ill leave tomorrow. I also suggest that you leave tomorrow. To be safe. She meant well. How could Han Qianye not understand? Han Qianye wanted to go along with Li Xiwu, but she felt that she almost had no bottom line. If she continued like this, Li Xiwu would completely control her. Therefore, Han Qianye put on the aura of a mother-in-law and said, You have to leave with me tonight. As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Li Xiwu and Han Qianye Li Xiwus expression did not change much, and her voice was calm. Im not leaving tonight. At this moment, Tang Xian said, Qianye, Xiwu also said just now that for safetys sake, what if something happens tonight? Listen to Xiwu. Dont leave. Humans could not withstand provocation. When Han Qianye heard Tang Xian interrupt, she restrained her anger and said, Its up to you to leave. I want to leave anyway. Tang Xian knew that her words had provoked Han Qianye, so she did not say anything else. Min Hanrong walked over to Han Qianye. The driver drives this road all year round. You dont have to worry about safety at all. On the other hand, if it snows too much tonight, it will be even harder to leave tomorrow. Those who arent leaving, think carefully. Putting aside the fact that she was fanning the flames, Min Hanrong was not wrong. However, no one could guarantee safety. Xue Jinzhu added, Are you leaving or not? If you want to leave, report the number. Those that are leaving, get in the car. If we dont leave, itll be dark. Everyone looked up at the sky. It was getting late. It was indeed getting dark. Min Hanrong asked Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen if they were leaving. Xiang Lan, who had originally decided to follow everyone, hesitated. Xu Muzhen wanted Ding Weis whipped potato and wanted to eat all the potatoes here. After hesitating for a while, she said to Xiang Lan, Mom, why dont we stay tonight? This time, Xiang Lan couldnt make up her mind. Hearing that Zhenzhen was not leaving, Xiang Lan immediately made up her mind. Alright, then I wont leave. Well talk about it tomorrow. After the agreement, only Han Qianye, Xue Jinzhu, Min Hanrong, and Tao Jing were leaving. The others were the director, a portion of the cameramen, and the staff. Li Xiwu, Tang Xian, and Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen chose to stay for the night for safety and leave tomorrow. When they returned to the village cliubs office, the four of them took their luggage and left in the car arranged by the production team. Ding Wei watched the two cars leave and clapped her hands together. Polazemo. Xu Muzhen walked over to Ding Wei. Brother Ding, what did you just say? Ding Wei turned around, his age-stained face filled with a sincere smile. It means to have a safe trip, and its also the Loloish language here. Xu Muzhen followed suit and clasped her hands together. Is that what you said, Polazemo? Tindwyl nodded. Yeah. Xu Muzhen put away her hand and asked with a smile, Brother Ding, can you make more whipped potatoes tonight? Ding Wei patted Xu Muzhens head gently. As long as you like it, I can make as many as you want. You have to know that theres no lack of potatoes in Mount Liang. Xu Muzhen was overjoyed. She gave herself a thumbs up for the decision she had chosen to stay behind tonight. On the other side of the courtyard. For once, Li Xiwu had the leisure to pile a small snowman on the washing table that Ding Wei had built in his early years. Tang Xian found a branch, broke it into two, and handed it to Li Xiwu. Look at these two branches. Can you make them into the hands of a little snowman? Li Xiwu took it and looked at it. It should work. After plugging it in, she looked at the finished product. Tang Xian smiled and said, Its quite cute. With that, she quickly took out her phone from her pocket and unlocked it. She opened the camera and took a photo of the little snowman. Ill send it to Lanshi to take a look. Li Xiwu moved aside to make room for Tang Xian to take photos. Tang Xian quickly said, Xiwu, just stand there. Ill take another photo of you and the snowman in the same frame. Li Xiwu was surprised. Taking photos of me and the snowman? Tang Xian nodded. Yes, I want to leave a photo of you in my phone. Li Xiwu smiled faintly and did not squirm. She stood gracefully beside the little snowman she had piled up and faced Tang Xians camera. The twilight was gray. One of the cameramen who had not left thoughtfully came over and turned on the light. This way, the photos taken would be very clear. Li Xiwu had never been used to being photographed. When she specially took photos, her smile would look unnatural on her face. But she never knew that the more unnatural her smile was, the more beautiful she looked. When the coldness faded, only the beauty was left. At this moment, Tang Xian said, Xiwu, make another gesture. Li Xiwu hesitated, then slowly raised her hand and extended her middle and index fingers. She gestured. She was a little silly, and a little cute. She was completely different from her usual coldness and indifference. She was like the most beautiful doll that had suddenly been injected with vitality, but in fact, she was so beautiful at all times that it was impossible to forget her. After taking the photo, Tang Xian opened WeChat and sent it to a WeChat friend named Son. Then, in one smooth motion, she sent her son the two photos she had taken of Li Xiwu. Just as she finished sending the photo, she heard Li Xiwu say, Auntie Tang, can you send me a copy of the photo just now? Tang Xian smiled and asked, Are you sending it to your lover? Li Xiwu only smiled and did not explain. Tang Xian nodded. Ill send it to you now. A minute later, the two of them officially added each other on WeChat. Li Xiwus phone received a WeChat notification. She opened it and saw that it was a photo from Tang Xian. Two photos. She looks silly in one photo. In the other, she raised her fingers in a V, looking even more silly. Looking at the two dumb photos, Li Xiwu gave up the idea of posting them on her Moments. Forget it, they were too dumb. It was better to send it to Qiao Qiao alone. Hence, Li Xiwu opened Qiao Qiaos WeChat and clicked on the original photo. She sent the two photos Tang Xian had taken of her to Qiao Qiao. She was about to put away her phone when Qiao Qiao sent four voice messages [Im really impressed by you, a beautiful fairy!] [Look! Look for yourself! Is this level of looks really reasonable?] [If I were Da Vinci, the picture hanging in the Louvre would be you.] [Also, I have to remind you that its illegal to be too beautiful.] After hearing the voice message, Li Xiwu was speechless. Qiao Qiaos rainbow fart would never disappoint. Li Xiwu typed a reply: [I took it just now. I sent it to you first.] Chapter 161 - 161 Accident, Emergency Rescue (1) 161 Accident, Emergency Rescue (1) Li Xiwu had a very cold image of a beauty. Those people would never have thought that the female guest in smoky makeup on the blind date show was Li Xiwu herself. Therefore, no one had ever checked her background before. Qiao Qiao was extremely vexed. In the past, she had always clicked on visible categories on her WeChat Moments, but this time, she posted it so quickly that she completely forgot about it. Li Xiwu didnt wait for Qiao Qiaos reply and made a call. Qiao Qiao picked it up guiltily. Bae, I Li Xiwu asked, Were you seen? Qiao Qiao didnt dare lie. Ive already deleted it, but Im not sure if the shills saw it. Anyway, they didnt like it. Li Xiwu focused and breathed in deeply, I hope they didnt see it. Qiao Qiao felt guilty. Im sorry, Bae. I was careless. After a pause, Qiao Qiao suddenly thought of something. Why dont I beautify the photo and repost it in Changbai? Everyone knows that youre at Mount Liang anyway. Im thousands of miles away from you in Changbai. Li Xiwu thought for a few seconds. Forget it. Its not easy to tell from the photos. But Im on camera today. My clothes and hairstyle havent changed. If you post the location again, youll look even more guilty. Qiao Qiao was very anxious. Then why dont I say that were twins when they find out and ask? Li Xiwu chuckled. Things arent completely irreversible yet. Lets see. Maybe they didnt see it at all. Qiao Qiao knew that Li Xiwu was guiding her not to blame herself too much and to look on the bright side. Seriously, she was stupid. After ending Qiao Qiaos call, Li Xiwus expression darkened. Tang Xian saw that her mood had turned bad after the call and asked with concern, Did something happen? Li Xiwu turned to look at Tang Xian. Nothing. Since Li Xiwu did not say anything, Tang Xian could not ask further. As the two of them walked in, Tang Xian took the initiative to ask, Xiwu, how are you doing at the Pei residence? Li Xiwu was surprised that Tang Xian knew about the Pei family. This was something that had yet to be exposed. Tang Xian could tell what Li Xiwu was thinking and explained, I heard from Lanshi that your husbands family is the Pei family in the capital. That powerful Pei family! Tang Xian was afraid that Li Xiwu would be suspicious, so she explained how Gu Lanshi knew about the Pei family. Hence, Li Xiwu also heard the name Li Huaisheng from Tang Xian. Li Huaisheng She murmured the unfamiliar name. She was clearly stunned for a moment. Tang Xian had been paying attention to Li Xiwus expression. Hes Lanshis teacher. Lanshi is also Mr. Lis most valued student. At this point, Tang Xian teased, I remember that Mr. Li thought very highly of his daughter and Lanshi becoming a couple. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, Then, did they get together? Tang Xian lowered her eyes. No. After a pause, Tang Xian said, Its fate. Li Xiwu read the flash of regret in Tang Xians expression and guessed that something must have happened in between, so the two of them did not get together in the end. This was not a good topic. It made her sad for no reason. Therefore, Li Xiwu ended the topic and changed the topic. As they chatted, Tang Xian changed the topic back to the Pei family and mentioned Han Qianyes attitude towards Li Xiwu in the afternoon. Tang Xian spoke appropriately. She did not deliberately badmouth Han Qianye. She just mentioned Han Qianyes attitude and asked Li Xiwu if she had suffered the same treatment as Han Qianye in the Pei family. Li Xiwu said, I dont see her much. Tang Xian asked, You dont live together? Li Xiwu shook her head. Tang Xian looked thoughtful. After a moment, she reached out to take Li Xiwus hand. Lets go in. When she touched Li Xiwus hand, she realized that it was very cold. Tang Xian asked with concern, Xiwu, are you cold? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. My hands and feet are naturally cold. I rarely feel warm. Tang Xian asked, Was it before? Li Xiwu nodded. Tang Xian tightened her grip on Li Xiwus hand. Then lets hurry in and warm ourselves by the fire. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. Half of the people had already left tonight, so there was only one table for dinner. Everyone sat together. The pot of whipped potato was the most on the table, and the other dishes were vegetables and a piece of bacon. It smelled very good. Chapter 162 - 162 Accident, Emergency Rescue (2) 162 Accident, Emergency Rescue (2) Halfway through the meal, Ding Wei suddenly received a call. Everyone was chatting and laughing as they ate when they heard Ding Wei ask, How is everyone? Is everyone okay? Everyone looked at Ding Wei in unison. Ding Wei looked nervous. Okay, okay, okay. I understand. Ill be right there. After ending the call, the panic on Ding Weis face did not decrease. Instead, he became even more anxious and seemed to be in a daze. Tang Xian quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked, Weiwei, what happened? Ding Wei said only four words. They had an accident. Everyone fell silent. The call just now had been from the driver. As soon as the driver got up, he called the emergency number first, but it was difficult to get here, and they hadnt even walked halfway, so he could only call Ding Wei. The exact situation was that the car overturned and the entire car rolled down the slope. At that time, someone jumped out and someone didnt jump out. They rolled down with the car. The exact situation was unclear, and the driver wasnt in a good state. The chopsticks in Xu Muzhens hand fell back onto the table. The entire car flipped? Xiang Lan also put down her bowl and chopsticks. Then isnt the situation very serious? Li Xiwu asked, What about the directors car? Ding Wei said, The directors car is fine. It has already returned after knowing the situation, but its a little far. The directors car drove very fast all the way. It will take some time to rush back. With that, Li Xiwu and Tang Xian had already stood up, looking nervous and worried. Ding Wei said that he wanted to drive to pick them up immediately, afraid that something would happen if he was too late, although he did not know if anything had happened to anyone other than the driver. Li Xiwu immediately said, Ill go with you. Tang Xian grabbed Li Xiwus arm. No, dont go. Its too dangerous. Ding Wei also said, All of you, wait here in peace. Ill arrange the rescue. There were not many cameramen in the group live broadcast to begin with. Gao Yueban and the director left early in the afternoon with a portion of the cameramen. Only Yu Jing was left here. The drivers were all local people, so there were only two of them. In total, there was a whole car full of people. There was also Ding Wei and Ah Yue and Naibao. They needed two cars to get there now. It was snowing hard. No one came out for a while during the meal. The footprints in the courtyard were covered, and not a single mark could be seen. There was the rustle of snow denting with every step she took. In the end, Tang Xian could not stop Li Xiwu and watched as she got into the car. Tang Xian stood outside the car door and tried to persuade her. Xiwu, you cant do much even if you go. Its better to wait here. Li Xiwu breathed in deeply, I cant wait in peace. Nothing can happen to her Nothing can happen to them. Dont worry, Auntie Tang. My night vision is very good. Its easier to find someone. Tang Xian knew that she couldnt persuade her anymore and tried to follow. Li Xiwu stopped her. You dont have to go. Ill stay in touch. Tang Xian sighed. Alright, remember to keep in touch. After the two cars left, the lights in the entire courtyard seemed to dim a little. The heavy snow fell, and a layer of white snow quickly piled up on the people standing in the courtyard. Xu Muzhen looked up at the sky and clasped his hands together. She muttered, Polazemo. Xiang Lan asked, Zhenzhen, what are you saying? Xu Muzhen said, Brother Ding said that this means to have a safe trip in the Loloish language. C After nearly half an hour of driving, the two cars finally arrived at the location of the SUV accident. The drivers legs were crushed and he couldnt move to save anyone. He sat on a large rock, shivering with cold and hugging his body to ward off the cold. Only the light of the phones flashlight was still on. The directors car had turned back. Just a few minutes ago, everyone had gone down to save them now. Ding Wei checked the condition of the drivers legs and shouted, Ah Yue, Naibao, help the driver into the car. Be careful of his legs. Theyre probably broken. When they heard that it was broken, the hearts of the other cameramen who rushed over trembled. Ah Yue and Naibao quickly came over to help. They reached out to help as much as they could. Unable to do physical work, Li Xiwu helped light the way. If any branches blocked their way, she rushed to the front and pulled them away. She was sweating from the heat. When it couldnt be pulled, Ah Yue came to help. Sister, let me do it. Ill do it. Currently, they have already found Min Hanrong and Xue Jinzhu. Both of them were slightly injured and were pressed down, unable to move, but Tao Jing and Han Qianye were nowhere to be seen. When Min Hanrong was lifted up, she said in a weak voice, Jingjing jumped out of the car. I asked her to jump. Please look for her. Ding Wei comforted her. Dont worry. Well definitely find her. When Xue Jinzhu was lifted up, she kept crying. She cried until she was out of breath and shouted, Sister Li Li Xiwu shone the light on Xue Jinzhu and held her hand. Dont be afraid. Its fine. There seems to be someone over there! Someone shouted. Everyone looked in the direction of the light and could vaguely see a person lying on the ground. No one dared to delay and quickly ran over. Li Xiwu ran after them. She pushed aside the layers of snow and realized that it was the unconscious Tao Jing. Ding Wei shouted, Found one. The others quickly came over to lift Tao Jing. After confirming that Tao Jing was safe, Li Xiwu raised the lamp and shone it around, looking for Han Qianye. Ah Yues heart ached for Li Xiwu. He came over and said, Sister, go rest. Ill help you find her. Li Xiwu shook her head. Its fine. Im not tired. After carrying the unconscious Tao Jing away, the remaining people continued to look for Han Qianye. Li Xiwu raised the light and shouted Han Qianyes name. No one responded. Someone had discovered rolling traces, suspected to be left behind by a person. They shone it down in that direction, but there was a 90-degree vertical slope below. Fortunately, the car did not overturn below. Otherwise, everyone in the car would probably have not been spared. I think she rolled down, but Im not sure. The lights didnt show anyone, Naibao shouted. Li Xiwu walked over quickly. Let me see. Those marks did look like human roll marks. There were none here at the ninety-degree vertical slope, so it was very likely that they had rolled down. But it was dangerous down there. No one knew what to expect. Naibao said, Ill go down. Ah Yue rushed to say, Ill do it, Ill do it. Ding Wei walked over, sweating and panting. Move aside, you two brats. Let me do it. The others wanted to go down but were a little afraid. At this moment, Li Xiwu said, Ill go down. Im lighter. Its not difficult for you to pull. Ding Wei disagreed, but Li Xiwu quickly convinced him. Li Xiwu did not know what she would face next. And Ding Wei could only trust Li Xiwu. He raised his voice and shouted, Get the rope! Chapter 163 - 163 Causing a Tragedy 163 Causing a Tragedy The light shone on the thick snow. There were withered branches lying around. Li Xiwu held the lamp in one hand and searched the thick snow with the other. She called Han Qianyes name again and again, but there was no response. Ah Yue shouted, Sister, you have to be careful. Li Xiwu took the time to reply. I know. She moved from squatting to kneeling and searching. Her knees were wet from the melted snow under her feet, and the bone-chilling cold pressed against her skin, but she had no time to care at this moment. She was focused on finding Han Qianye. After an unknown period of time, someone patted her shoulder from behind. Li Xiwu was overjoyed and turned around. Auntie Seeing that it was Ah Yues worried face, Li Xiwu asked, Ah Yue, why are you down here? Ah Yue said, Sister, Im still worried about you down there alone. I only came down because Weiwei agreed. Then Ding Weis voice came from above. Ah Yue? Have you reached the bottom? Ah Yue threw back his head and shouted back, Im here, Weiwei. Im at the bottom. Ding Wei said, Protect Miss Li. Ah Yue said, I know. With that, Ah Yue handed the light in his hand to Li Xiwu. Sister, illuminate it. Ill look for her. Li Xiwu shoved the light back in. Since were down here, lets search together. Ah Yue forced the lamp into Li Xiwus hand again. Noticing Li Xiwus hands, which were red from the cold, Ah Yue was stunned. Sister, your hands Li Xiwu did not notice it herself. After Ah Yues reminder, she looked down at her hand. It was red and even trembling slightly. Without another word, Ah Yue quickly took off the scarf around his neck. Sister, let me cover your hands. Li Xiwu caught the scarf as Ah Yue was about to wrap it around her hand. Lower your head, she said to Ah Yue. Ah Yue stubbornly refused to lower his head. Li Xiwu repeated, Be good and lower your head. Ah Yue said nervously, But Sister, your hands are frozen. If you dont treat them in time, your hands will get frostbite. I stay here all year round. I can resist the cold. Li Xiwus smile was pale as she said again, Ah Yue, lower your head. Ah Yue knew that no matter what he said, his sister would not listen to him. He was afraid that his sister would be angry, so he lowered his head. Li Xiwu reached out and tied the scarf back around Ah Yues neck. After tying it up, Li Xiwu turned around and raised the lamp to continue looking for Han Qianye. Because her pants and clothes were already wet, the cold was bone-chilling. She did not squat and kneel to search anymore. She could only bend down and carefully search for Han Qianye under every possible pile of snow. Her frozen red hands seemed to have lost all feeling. When she pulled at the snow, she did not even notice that her fingers had been scratched by the thorny vine. It was only when Ah Yue noticed that her hand was dripping blood that she realized shed been cut at some point. She took a tissue from her pocket and casually wrapped it around her hand. She wasnt really listening to what Ah Yue was saying to her. Seeing that there was really no other way, Ah Yue could only call Ding Wei to call another person down to help. Then Li Xiwu suddenly said, I think I found her. Ah Yue looked in the direction of Li Xiwu. There was indeed a ball of snow arching in that spot. At first glance, it looked like a person lying there, but on closer look, it didnt seem like it. Most importantly, that position was very dangerous. It was next to a slope. If he was not careful, he could fall further down. Moreover, there were big rocks below. It was very dangerous. Ah Yue said, Ill do it. Li Xiwu pulled Ah Yue back. Help me shine. Ill go take a look. If its not, Ill come back immediately. If it is, come over and help me again. Ah Yue was worried, but Li Xiwu had already gone over first. She was extremely careful, every step slow and steady. As she slowly approached, Li Xiwu realized that the pile of snow she had seen just now was moving. Thinking that it was really Han Qianye, she quickened her pace and walked over. She squatted down and reached out to push away the snow. At this moment, an owl suddenly jumped up and flew away. It was so sudden that Li Xiwu was shocked. Above the owls arch was a wet coat. It looked like Tao Jings coat. So it was this coat that rolled down, not a human. Ah Yue, who had followed behind, shouted, Sister, be careful!! At the same time, he reached out and grabbed Li Xiwus arm. However, he was too late. After being frightened, Li Xiwu fell back. Before she could stabilize herself, she slipped again and rolled down. Meanwhile, in the snow not far from where Tao Jing was discovered, Han Qianye, who had just woken up, had already gotten up from the snow. She stood up, her body swaying and almost losing her balance. Her mind was still a little confused. She looked around, not knowing what time it was. Noticing the lights of several cars in the distance, she dragged herself toward them. As she got closer, she realized that everyone was busy and anxious. That was true. The car had overturned. Everyone must be anxious. She had already caused trouble once. Han Qianye was too embarrassed to cause trouble again. She climbed into the car and sat down to rest. At this moment, a cameraman realized that someone was sitting in the car. He walked over and opened the car door. When he realized that it was Han Qianye, he asked, Han Qianye? Werent you sent away by that car just now? Han Qianye looked tired. You must be mistaken. Im still here. The cameraman was stunned and subconsciously thought that he had misremembered. Now that Han Qianye was sitting in the car, the person everyone was still looking for should be Min Hanrong. So the cameraman nodded and was about to close the car door Han Qianye quickly asked, Where are the others? Are they all right? The cameraman stopped closing the car door and replied, Xue Jinzhu, Tao Jing, and the driver have been sent to the hospital. Theyre still looking for Min Hanrong. When Han Qianye heard this, her heart tightened. Hanrong hasnt been found yet? I remember that neither she nor Xue Jinzhu jumped out of the car. The cameraman shook his head. Im not sure, then. Were still looking. Rest. Ill go take a look. Han Qianye quickly nodded. Be careful. The cameraman jogged over to check on the situation. Seeing that everyone was looking down anxiously, he quickly asked, Have you found Min Hanrong? Yu Jing, who was sweating profusely, said, Min Hanrong is fine long ago. Were looking for Han Qianye now. The cameraman was stunned. Isnt Han Qianye in the car? Yu Jing was also stunned for a moment. Isnt Min Hanrong in the car? Thats not right. Didnt Min Hanrong send Tao Jing, Xue Jinzhu, and the driver off the mountain first? What are you talking about? The cameraman was even more stunned and confused. But Han Qianye was clearly sitting in the car. I just spoke to her. That car. With that, the cameraman pointed into the distance. Yu Jing took a look. Then he was shocked. The cameraman also realized something. The hair on his body stood on end and a chill ran down his back. He stammered, Han Qianye doesnt know. Did something happen? Could what I saw just now be her ghost? She thought she wasnt dead and returned to the car The more he spoke, the more hair-raising it became. At this moment, someone shouted from below Chapter 164 - 164 Li Xiwu Was Sent To The Emergency Room 164 Li Xiwu Was Sent To The Emergency Room At this moment, someone shouted from below Weiwei, something happened to Sister! Ding Wei was shocked. What? Something happened to Miss Li? Naibao was preparing to go down when he heard Ah Yues shout. He was shocked. Ill be down soon. Yu Jing and the cameraman stepped forward together. Yu Jings face was filled with worry as he pressed his palms together and prayed. Miss Li, nothing must happen to you. If anything happens to you, our entire production team will be finished. The cameraman was also worried that Li Xiwu would be injured. But he didnt expect that the entire production team would be finished once Li Xiwu was injured. This seriousness frightened him a little. He asked nervously, Director Yu, it cant be, right? Yu Jing raised his hand and slapped the back of the cameramans head. Hurry up and pray. Before long, Ah Yue was pulled up by everyone with Li Xiwu on his back. Without another word, Ding Wei picked up the unconscious Li Xiwu and walked back. Make way quickly. Those who are following the way, quickly illuminate the way. Dont delay. Everyone was cooperating. Yu Jing grabbed the tearful Ah Yue and asked, Whats wrong with Miss Li? Ah Yue cried, Sister fell and hit a big rock. Her head was covered in blood Yu Jing was so frightened that his face was even paler than the snow. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find someone to drive her to the hospital!! Ding Wei carried Li Xiwu back and got into another empty car. He was worried about the production team being the driver. Because he was unfamiliar with this road, he called Ah Yue to take good care of Li Xiwu. He drove himself. Han Qianye heard dense footsteps outside and looked out. At this moment, the car door opened. It was the cameraman who had spoken to her just now. Han Qianye quickly asked, Did you find her? The cameraman carefully sized up Han Qianyes face. Han Qianye was confused. She was about to ask what was wrong and why he was looking at her like that when she saw Yu Jing walk over and pull the cameraman away. He also sized her up carefully. After staring at her for a long time, Yu Jing probed, Are you really Han Qianye? Han Qianye: Yu Jing did not care anymore. He reached in and pulled Han Qianyes arm, causing her pain. Director Yu, why are you pinching me? Yu Jing suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. Its real. Han Qianye was a little angry. What do you mean? Youd better explain clearly. Theres no time to explain. Sorry, sorry. With that, Yu Jing raised his chin and gestured for the cameraman to drive. Then he got in and closed the car door. The journey was still bumpy. Yu Jing asked again worriedly, Do you feel any pain in your body? Or cant you lift your hands and feet? Han Qianye shook her head. No, Im just a little dizzy. I suspect its a slight concussion. I wont know until I go to the hospital for a checkup. Yu Jing replied, Alright, rest well first. Han Qianye asked weakly, Is Min Hanrong alright? Yu Jing looked nervous. Shes fine It was your daughter-in-law who was not fine Yu Jing did not know how to explain the exact situation. He thought that Han Qianye might have a slight concussion. If he said it, she would be too worried and probably faint again in the next second. He could only wait until she was at the hospital and had a physical examination before telling her. Tonight, it was snowing non-stop. After more than twenty minutes of driving, the car finally arrived at the county hospital with difficulty. Li Xiwu was taken to the emergency room. Han Qianye was sent for a full-body checkup, but when she got out of the car, she noticed another emergency stretcher being pushed in. She asked Yu Jing, Is that Min Hanrong? Yu Jing did not know how to answer. He said, Go and do a checkup first. Han Qianye retracted her gaze and sighed. I didnt expect Min Hanrong to be so seriously injured. You just said that she was fine. But she was pushed in on the emergency stretcher. It looks like not only is she not fine, but the matter is also quite serious. Yu Jing smiled awkwardly. It shouldnt be a big problem. Maybe her legs are injured. C After Han Qianye finished her checkup and confirmed that she was fine, she stayed in the hospital ward. Tao Jing had already woken up on the way to the hospital. When she woke up, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. From time to time, her ears would ring, which was an obvious symptom of a mild concussion. Accompanied by Min Hanrong, Tao Jing finished her physical examination. There were no other superficial wounds on her body, but Xue Jinzhu had some superficial wounds. Her legs were pressed and it hurt a little. She could not walk for the time being and needed to lie down properly. The three of them stayed in the same ward. The only driver had broken his leg and had been sent to the Orthopedics Department. At around nine, Li Xiwu left the emergency room and was sent to a normal ward. At this moment, the ward was surrounded by people. Ding Wei stood at the front, and Ah Yue squeezed through the gap and crawled to the bed to guard it. Director Yu, Director Gao, and the others were outside. The doctor said, Medium concussion. Let her rest. Well talk about everything tomorrow when she wakes up. The situation was not serious, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Gao Yueban pulled Yu Jing out to talk. There was no one in the corridor. Gao Yueban asked, Did Han Qianye call President Pei? Yu Jing shook his head. Not yet. Han Qianye doesnt know about Li Xiwus injury yet. She thinks its Min Hanrong. Gao Yuebans heart skipped a beat. We cant hide this from President Pei. Yu Jing said, Of course I know we cant hide it, but its already so late. Lets wait until Li Xiwu wakes up tomorrow. After everything that happened tonight, everyone should rest well. Gao Yueban sighed and said with a hint of self-reproach, If I had known, I wouldnt have driven so fast. The driver behind must have wanted to catch up to our car. Who knew that something would happen? Yu Jing also sighed. When I left the village club, I should have left Li Xiwu there no matter what. Now that something has happened, its really difficult to explain to President Pei. Gao Yueban turned around and walked in. If Li Xiwu wasnt injured, someone else would have been injured. At that time, I only went back to drive them to the hospital when Li Xiwu went down. I remember that before I left, which was before Li Xiwu went down, other than Ding Wei and the two boys, no one in our production team dared to go down. Yu Jing remained silent. Because Gao Yueban was telling the truth. The person who realized that Han Qianye might have fallen was the production teams cameraman. The person who said to save her was also from the production team. The two little boys took the initiative to go down. Ding Wei was extremely tired and still wanted to beat them to it. None of the production team dared to say anything. In the end, Li Xiwu convinced Ding Wei that she could go down. In any case, no matter who went down, they might be injured. In the ward. Ah Yue guarded the bed with red eyes. From time to time, he would glance at Li Xiwu, who was still unconscious. When he couldnt control his emotions, he turned to ask Ding Wei, Weiwei, will Sister wake up? Naibao patted Ah Yues head and said softly, Think well. Sister will be fine. Ah Yue sobbed. But theres a lot of blood on Sisters head Chapter 165 - 165 Memory Fluctuating, Past Memory Appear 165 Memory Fluctuating, Past Memory Appear Ding Wei also comforted him. Miss Li will wake up. The doctor said that she will wake up tomorrow. Its not a big problem. Dont imagine a bunch of scary things. Meanwhile, Xue Jinzhu, who was in the same ward as Min Hanrong and Tao Jing, was sitting on the bed taking photos of her injured legs. She was someone who shared whatever she was happy about and cried when she was wronged. She never held back. She took photos of her injured foot and sent the injured photo to Chen Xin through WeChat Xue Jinzhu: [Brother, Im injured. I had a small car accident. My leg hurts.] Xue Jinzhu: [I want Brother to hug me.] Xue Jinzhu: [Aggrieved GIF ~] Chen Xin was still bitterly working overtime in the company. He did overtime yesterday, today, and even tomorrow. What kind of experience was it to have a dictatorial boss?! Anyway, he had given him enough money. His phone was vibrating. When he saw that it was a WeChat message from Xue Jinzhu, he quickly took the time to open WeChat. After seeing the photos Xue Jinzhu had sent, Chen Xin immediately called Xue Jinzhu. Xue Jinzhu was waiting for this call. She immediately picked it up and shouted aggrievedly, Brother, I missed you. Tao Jing and Min Hanrong, who were on the next bed, looked over at the same time. Xue Jinzhu did not care about the gazes of others at all. In any case, she called Chen Xin Brother, so she was not afraid of exposing anything. Chen Xin asked her, What happened? Xue Jinzhu told Chen Xin the general situation. When she said it, she felt wronged and wanted to cry. Chen Xin had to coax her a few times before she felt a little better. Tao Jing, who was next to her, said to her mother-in-law, Min Hanrong, Jinzhu and her boyfriend are so close. Min Hanrong glanced at it and retracted her gaze. Dating is all like this. Tao Jing smiled awkwardly. Indeed, dating was like this. She was the same when she was dating Jiacheng. After she got married, their relationship became calm. All the surprises and joy recently were thanks to Mother-in-Law Joys show. Over here. Chen Xin coaxed Xue Jinzhu and asked, What about Miss Li? Did anything happen to Miss Li? Xue Jinzhu replied softly, No. Sister Li didnt leave with us tonight. It was my fault and I insisted on leaving. However, something happened later and Sister Li rushed over to save us. When Chen Xin heard that Li Xiwu was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. Rest well. Dont stay up late. Ill come and pick you up tomorrow morning. Xue Jinzhu definitely hoped that Chen Xin would come over now. However, she also knew that this was too unreasonable. After all, it was already so late. In addition, Brother had been working overtime recently and had not rested well. He could not work too hard. C The next day. Tang Xian woke up early. When she heard that the snow last night did not seal the mountain, she packed her luggage and called Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen down the mountain to rush to the county hospital. It was almost nine when they arrived at the county hospital. Han Qianye chatted with Min Hanrong in that big ward. She first asked about Min Hanrongs condition. Min Hanrong did not expect Han Qianye to be so concerned about her. She smiled and said, Im fine now. Han Qianye said, When I saw you on the emergency stretcher last night, I thought it was very serious. Emergency stretcher? When did she get on an emergency stretcher? Min Hanrong was about to ask Han Qianye when she saw her get on the emergency stretcher when Tang Xian knocked on the door and entered. Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen followed in. Han Qianye stood up. Youre here. Tang Xian nodded and went forward to ask with concern, Are you alright? Han Qianye smiled. I just bumped my head. Its a small matter. Theres no problem anymore. Min Hanrong added, Were all lucky. Xiang Lan said, Its true that youre lucky. The car has flipped over. We were so worried that we didnt sleep well all night. We wanted to follow but were afraid of causing trouble. Han Qianye looked behind the three of them. She did not see Li Xiwu enter, but she held back from asking. Instead, Xue Jinzhu asked, Wheres Sister Li? Why isnt she here yet? Tang Xian, Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen were stunned. Tang Xian spoke first. Xiwu followed them to look for you last night. Didnt you see her? Xue Jinzhu said, I know. Im just asking why Sister Li hasnt come in yet. I havent seen her since I arrived at the hospital last night. Min Hanrong also said, I saw Xiwu last night. Shes been helping. Our car was full and left first. Xiwu seems to be looking for Qianye. Tao Jing was unconscious and did not know about this at all, so she could not speak. Han Qianye was stunned. Then why didnt I know? Tang Xian was also stunned. Could it be that Xiwu booked a hotel after leaving the mountain last night? If that was the case, she could understand why she hadnt come over this morning. Han Qianyes face fell when she heard this. She had been the only one to go for a checkup last night. She had stayed alone in an empty ward and thought about Li Xiwu from time to time. She wondered if she would sleep well at night. In the end, after she followed them down last night, she went to book a hotel room. It was not that she wanted Li Xiwu to accompany her, but she would feel uncomfortable if she did not greet her. It turned out that Li Xiwu really did not care about her at all. Thinking of this, Han Qianye felt a little sad. It seemed that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship was really going to end after the variety show ended. C At the same time, in another ordinary ward. Ah Yue stayed in the ward all night and did not wait for Li Xiwu to wake up. When the sky lit up slightly, his eyelids finally closed. He lay by the bed and began to sleep. Actually, Li Xiwu, who was unconscious, had woken up once in the middle of the night. She didnt open her eyes. She was too tired to open them. Then she went from unconscious to sleepy and exhausted and fell asleep again. It was a long sleep. She also had a dream. In the dream, an unfamiliar person appeared. He was wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses and standing in front of her in a formal suit. He was as smooth as jade and exuded elegance and calmness from the inside out. After staring at her for a moment, he reached out to her and shouted, Little You. Li Xiwu looked at the unfamiliar face in confusion. For some reason, her heart suddenly ached to the extreme. She was crying silently in her dream, but she didnt know why she was crying. Just looking at that unfamiliar face made her heart ache. He approached her and reached out to touch her tear-streaked face. Little You, he whispered soothingly. Dont be afraid. Li Xiwu followed her instincts and threw herself into his arms. He hugged her and patted her back. Little You, Im not your prequel, and youre not my sequel. Youre just yourself. Walk forward boldly. Daddys right behind you Why did this sentence sound so familiar? It was as if she had remembered it thousands of times. And calling him daddy Li Xiwus tear-filled eyes suddenly froze. By the time she let go of this embrace and wanted to see the person in front of her clearly again, everything had already turned into smoke. She could not touch or grasp it. Shed never been as upset as she was at that moment. Sadness rose from the bottom of her heart in silence. Little You. The same voice as before appeared again. She looked up suddenly. The man had appeared again, but this time he was far away from her. He just smiled at her and called out to her. Li Xiwu rushed over recklessly, but she passed through his body. When she woke up crying, she shouted Dad! Chapter 166 - 166 Li Xiwus Suspicion: Is She Really A Substitute? 166 Li Xiwus Suspicion: Is She Really A Substitute? The lonely single ward was broken by Li Xiwus shout when she woke up from her dream in the early morning. Tears slid from her eyes for an instant, but she didnt know. The fuzzy ceiling, the unpleasant smell of disinfectant. The scenes she had seen in her dream were still so clear in her mind when she woke up. There was also that calm and elegant gentleman who lovingly called herLittle You. Li Xiwus breathing tightened. She had a splitting headache and subconsciously raised her hand to her forehead. When her fingertips touched a layer of gauze, she looked around the entire ward in a daze. At that moment, she lost her memory for a moment and actually forgot what she had experienced. Why was she in the ward and how her head was injured. A few seconds later, Ah Yues surprised voice sounded Sister!! Youre awake? Li Xiwu turned at the sound. Looking at Ah Yues innocent and simple face in front of her, her memories quickly flashed back and surged into her mind. Ah Yue was very excited to see Li Xiwu wake up. He stood up and approached the bed. Sister, are you hungry? Oh, no, you just woke up and want to drink water. Sister, wait. Ill get you some water. At this moment, Ding Wei also walked in. When he saw that Li Xiwu was about to get up from the bed, he quickly went forward to help her. Miss Li, you just woke up. Lie down first. Li Xiwu looked up and asked, Wheres Han Qianye? She even forgot the address and said her name. Ding Wei replied, Your mother-in-law is fine. Seeing that Li Xiwu did not look convinced, Ding Wei said solemnly, Your mother-in-law is really fine. Not only is she fine, but she could jump too. With that, Ding Wei added, In comparison, Miss Li, your situation is even more serious. Li Xiwu asked again, What about the others? Ding Wei replied, Only Miss Tao has a slight concussion. She woke up when she was sent to the hospital last night. Shes fine. The others are fine. Theyre all fine. Li Xiwu closed her eyes. Im glad theyre fine. Ding Weis heart ached. Youre only thinking about others. Why didnt you ask about yourself? Li Xiwu pursed her pale lips. The fact that I can wake up and talk to you all fine means that Im fine. With that, Li Xiwu raised her hand to her forehead again, wanting to confirm the exact location of the wound. Ding Wei immediately blocked Li Xiwus hand. Try not to touch your forehead first. This is the place you hit last night. Although it has been stitched and bandaged, it will definitely hurt when you touch that spot. Actually, it didnt just hurt. She didnt have to touch it with her hand. Just talking hurts. She obeyed Ding Wei, dropping her hand for the moment. Ah Yue fetched her water. Ding Wei adjusted the lift of the bed so that Li Xiwu could sit against it. She held the glass of water and sipped at it. When she was silent, her mind did not empty. Instead, she thought about the scenes of that dream. She wondered why she had such a dream. Everything that happened in the dream seemed to have nothing to do with her. But if the person in the dream was really her father, why did he call her Little You? Madam Di Xin recognized her as Little You. Yu Hewei recognized her as Little You. Everyone in the Pei family knew that she was a substitute for Little You. A moment later, Li Xiwu put down her glass and took a deep breath. At this moment, a terrifying thought couldnt help but pop into her mind Was she really a substitute? Was she a substitute for the person everyone thought? Turning everything that had happened in the dream into reality must have been another misunderstanding. But this time, it had happened in her dream, which meant that it was not a misunderstanding. Otherwise, none of this would make sense. Sister? Sister? Ah Yue raised his hand and waved it in front of the dazed Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu came back to her senses and looked at Ah Yue. Whats wrong, Ah Yue? Ah Yue said, Those two directors came in. Li Xiwu looked up. When she saw Director Yu and Director Gao standing at the end of the bed with concerned expressions, she realized how distracted she had been just now. She had not heard the two of them enter at all. Gao Yueban asked with concern, Miss Li, other than your head, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Thank you for your concern, Director Gao. Im fine. How could Gao Yueban bear Li Xiwus gratitude? After all, such a big thing had happened and the production team was still suppressing it. Other than him, Yu Jing, and Ding Wei, there were a few other photographers who knew about Li Xiwus injury. Other guests did not know about it. Everyone knew that this matter could not be kept a secret forever. They were just waiting for Li Xiwu to wake up so that they could straighten their attitude and explain. This was to prevent everyone from rushing into the ward to disturb her rest when they found out that Li Xiwu was injured. Gao Yueban took a few steps towards the bed. Some nervousness was reflected in his constant rubbing of his hands. Miss Li Li Xiwus gaze slowly moved from Gao Yuebans hand to his face. Yu Jing looked at Gao Yueban who did not say a complete sentence for a long time, so he took the initiative to say, Miss Li, its like this. The other guests dont know about your injury yet. With that, Li Xiwu frowned. Yu Jing thought that Li Xiwu was angry and quickly said, Last night, your situation was urgent. Han Qianye also needed to be checked, so I didnt tell her about your situation. I thought Id tell everyone this morning. Everyone will probably come to see you later. Yu Jing finished speaking in one breath. He looked nervously at Li Xiwus expression. Li Xiwu said nothing and turned to look for her phone. Ah Yue quickly handed Li Xiwu a broken phone. Sister, are you looking for this? Li Xiwu took the phone. Thank you, Ah Yue. Ah Yue scratched his head in embarrassment. Youre welcome, Sister. Li Xiwu looked down at the shattered phone screen. She didnt need to remember to know that the phone had followed her when she fell last night. Gao Yueban and Yu Jing watched nervously as Li Xiwu opened her phone. They wondered if she was going to call President Pei to complain. Oh no, oh no. However, the two of them had no complaints. They had indeed not handled this matter well. They were thinking the worst. After Li Xiwu finished looking at her phone, she put it down and said, Lets suppress what happened last night as much as possible. If the other guests are unwilling, follow their opinions. At this point, Li Xiwu paused and pursed her lips before continuing, However, the show can be delayed for a few days before its broadcast. Let everyone rest first. With that, Li Xiwu noticed that Director Yu and Director Gaos expressions had turned to disbelief. But what was even more unbelievable was yet to come. Li Xiwu endured the pain in her head and continued, I hope everyone will keep my injury a secret. Since they dont know yet, when you ask, just say that I have something on and have to go back first. Gao Yueban disagreed. That wont do, Miss Li. We have to talk about this. If they didnt say anything, the others would definitely think that Li Xiwu was too selfish. She didnt care about the others in the car accident and left first. He could not bear to see Li Xiwu suffer like this! Chapter 167 - 167 She Went Back Behind Everyones Back 167 She Went Back Behind Everyones Back Li Xiwu said calmly, No need. But I like peace and quiet. Just like I said. Gao Yueban was speechless. Li Xiwu had looked at her phone just now to see if Pei Jingzhou had called or sent her a WeChat message. She had looked at it carefully, but there were no missed calls or WeChat messages. That meant that Pei Jingzhou did not know yet. Looking at Gao Yueban, who wanted to say something but hesitated, Li Xiwu said, If the car accident cant be suppressed, make it public. But its best not to say a word about my injury last night. Gao Yueban didnt understand. Why? Li Xiwu: Ever since Xie Wens incident, the words Li Xiwu have been receiving a lot of attention online. I dont want to see netizens think that Im maintaining a persona, nor do I want to receive too much attention. After all, after the variety show ended, Im still that ordinary person. At this point, Gao Yueban naturally understood what Li Xiwu meant. However, Gao Yueban always felt that this was too unfair to Li Xiwu. Just as Gao Yueban was about to persuade her again, Li Xiwu looked up at Gao Yueban. Director Gao, sorry to trouble you. Gao Yueban held back what he wanted to say. In the end, he sighed silently. Miss Li, youre welcome. Dont worry, well do as you say. Li Xiwu nodded. Not long after Gao Yueban and Yu Jing left the ward, Ding Wei and Ah Yue left the ward one after another. If everyone stayed here, it would affect Li Xiwus rest. After all, Li Xiwu needed to rest after a moderate concussion. C Meanwhile, in another large ward. Min Hanrong was telling Tang Xian and the others about the car accident last night. Xiang Lan broke out in a cold sweat for them. Xu Muzhens heart skipped a beat when she heard this and she shouted, That was close! Tang Xian sighed when she heard that. Thats why I said that youre lucky. Min Hanrong said, I think its because the incense offerings are good. As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Yueban and Yu Jing walked in. Seeing that Tang Xian, Xiang Lan, and Xu Muzhen were all here, Gao Yueban greeted them and asked, Youre all down. Is the snow on the road thick? Did it go smoothly down the mountain? Tang Xian looked up. A car took that road first this morning, so we came down smoothly. Gao Yueban nodded. Thats good. He was still worried that the snow would seal the mountain this morning and prevent them from going down. Next, Gao Yueban asked everyone about their situation with concern before getting down to business. After hearing Gao Yuebans serious tone, Xue Jinzhu was the first to speak. I insisted on leaving this time. It has nothing to do with the production team. I dont want to hear those people on the Internet scold me for causing trouble. Anyway, this is my attitude. As for the rest, ask them. Between pretentious and embarrassing, Xue Jinzhu naturally chose the former. The latter was too embarrassing. If she hadnt insisted on leaving, this wouldnt have happened. Gao Yueban thought that Xue Jinzhu would be the hardest to talk to. He did not expect that pride was indeed more important. After receiving Xue Jinzhus thoughts, Gao Yueban looked at Min Hanrong and Tao Jing. Tao Jing pursed her lips, her voice still a little weak. I thought the same as Xue Jinzhu. After all, the production team didnt ask us to leave this time. We wanted to leave ourselves. Anyway, its not a big deal, so we wont make an announcement. With that, there was silence for a few seconds. Then, Min Hanrong said in a neutral tone, Lets leave it at that. Its indeed not good to make it online. There are still two episodes left. We have to finish recording steadily, right? Gao Yueban came with trepidation. He was already prepared to be scolded, but he did not expect everyone to reach an agreement. Before Gao Yueban could be happy for a few seconds, Xue Jinzhu suddenly sat up and asked, Director Gao, wheres Sister Li? When is she coming? The smile on Gao Yuebans face froze. He glanced sideways at Yu Jing, who was also unable to smile halfway. Yu Jing received Gao Yuebans gaze and quickly cleared his throat. He said for Gao Yueban, Miss Li has already gone back first. As soon as she said this, everyone stared at Yu Jing. Yu Jing panicked and explained, Miss Li left in a hurry because she had something very important to deal with, so she couldnt come over to tell everyone. Han Qianye, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly stood up. Is she really gone? Yu Jing felt his scalp tingle. Yes. Han Qianye sat back down expressionlessly. I understand. Yu Jing felt very upset. He felt really guilty for lying. However, Miss Lis instructions were still around his ears. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the words he wanted to say. Tang Xian said at the right time, Xiwu is already very busy with work. When she was recording the show previously, she could still go back at night to deal with other work matters. This time, she stayed at Mount Liang for two days and couldnt deal with work matters. Its probably a very necessary job that made her so anxious to rush back. Xiang Lan immediately added, Yes, it must be something very important at work. She needs to go back and deal with it as soon as possible. No one else said anything. Gao Yueban was worried that he would not be able to help but tell the truth. After saying what he needed to say, he quickly called Yu Jing to leave with him. The huge ward was deserted again. Han Qianye sat in the chair without saying a word. Her expression did not look good. Min Hanrong took a sip of water and cleared her throat with emotion. It did not happen to her. Its normal to be indifferent. Tao Jing gently tugged at Min Hanrongs sleeve, indicating for her not to say that. Min Hanrong did not say anything unpleasant. She sighed and said, I was just sighing. I didnt say anything. Xue Jinzhu said angrily, Who are you being sarcastic to? Didnt you see Sister Li rushing over last night? Didnt you see her help shine the light at the front? Min Hanrong choked. I didnt say anything. What kind of tone is that? Xue Jinzhu straightened her neck. I was born with that tone. Min Hanrong chuckled. Qianye didnt even say anything. Did she tell you when she left? Xue Jinzhu: Min Hanrong knew her limits when she said these words. She knew that she could not offend Han Qianye, but she understood her expression. Especially when Han Qianye found out that Li Xiwu had left first, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot. It was as ugly as it could be. When she said that just now, Han Qianye did not say anything, which meant that Han Qianye was very angry. She just did not show it because of her mother-in-laws identity. Xue Jinzhu was angered by Min Hanrong. She turned to the silent Han Qianye and said, Auntie Han, look at how she speaks. Sister Li has something to settle first. Is there a problem? Who doesnt have something urgent? At this moment, Han Qianye stood up. You guys chat. Im out for breakfast. With that, Han Qianye left the ward expressionlessly. Xue Jinzhu: Min Hanrong smiled and thought to herself that it was as she had guessed. Tang Xian also stood up. Ill ask what time the return flight is booked. You guys chat. With that, she left the ward. Chapter 168 - 168 Pei Jingzhous Unexpected Appearance, Li Xiwus Injury Is Discovered 168 Pei Jingzhous Unexpected Appearance, Li Xiwus Injury Is Discovered Around nine oclock, Chen Xin rushed to the hospital to pick Xue Jinzhu up. Pei Jingzhou came with him. Xue Jinzhu did not know yet and thought that only Chen Xin was here. Because she could not meet Chen Xin in the ward openly, she could only say that she was going out for breakfast and quietly come out to see Chen Xin. Her leg was still a little lame, but it did not affect her walking. She ran a little every three steps and threw herself into Chen Xins arms to hug him. Brother ~ I missed you so much ~ Chen Xin steadied Xue Jinzhu and coughed lightly in all seriousness. Xue Jinzhu was dissatisfied. Brother, dont you miss me? Chen Xins face was tense. Yes. Xue Jinzhu pouted. Then why didnt you hug me? Chen Xin glanced back and gestured for Xue Jinzhu to look behind him. At first, Xue Jinzhu did not understand and thought that her brother was fooling around with her. She was about to tiptoe and kiss him when she happened to look past Chen Xins shoulder and saw President Pei standing not far away! The next second, Xue Jinzhus tiptoes suddenly pressed back and she almost lost her balance. Chen Xin quickly held Xue Jinzhu, then cleared his throat and said in a normal working tone, Be careful. Xue Jinzhu swallowed. Oh. All the dead branches and railings outside the hospital were still pressed with unmelted snow. The sun had not come out, and the snow could press down for a day and a night. Mount Liang was much colder than the capital. It was snowing again. Pei Jingzhou was wearing a warm turtleneck sweater and a thick black woolen coat. After getting off the plane, he tied a scarf around his neck. His temperament and appearance could not be ignored no matter where he went. Just by standing there quietly, countless gazes were on him. He walked over. Xue Jinzhu called out obediently, President Pei. Pei Jingzhou glanced at Xue Jinzhu and asked, Where is she? Huh? Was President Pei asking about Sister Li? When Xue Jinzhu saw Pei Jingzhou, she was already very surprised. Sister Li had already gone back, so why was President Pei still here? Could it be that Sister Li did not tell President Pei before she went back? So President Pei had missed! Pei Jingzhou looked at Xue Jinzhu who stammered and glanced at Chen Xin. Chen Xin understood Pei Jingzhous gaze and turned to ask Xue Jinzhu softly, Zhuzhu, wheres Miss Li? Xue Jinzhu swallowed. Sister Li No, didnt she already go back? Pei Jingzhou looked straight at Xue Jinzhu. Speak clearly. Xue Jinzhu finished speaking in one breath. Director Gao said that Sister Li had already booked a plane ticket back because of an emergency in the company. I thought you knew. Chen Xin gasped when he heard this. At six-thirty this morning, he called Mr. Pei and said that he was coming to Mount Liang to pick up his girlfriend. President Pei did not say anything and only told him to go early and come back early. At that time, he asked, Isnt Mr. Pei going to pick Miss Li up? How did Mr. Pei reply? At that moment Mr. Pei said, She can find her way back. In other words, there was no need for him to go. Thinking that Mr. Pei and Miss Lis relationship had been a little cold recently, Chen Xin could not say anything else. He said, Mr. Pei, it might take me sometime to come back. Zhuzhus foot is a little injured. Ill send her to a big hospital when I get back. When he heard that it was a county hospital, Chen Xin was not at ease, so he planned to personally send Xue Jinzhu to a big hospital for a checkup after bringing her back. Pei Jingzhou asked on the phone, Did something happen over there? Chen Xin told Mr. Pei everything that had happened last night. Afraid that Mr. Pei would be worried, he emphasized that Miss Li was not among the people who had gotten into the car accident last night because Miss Li had planned to return the next day. After a moment, Pei Jingzhou asked Chen Xin to book an additional plane ticket. When Chen Xin heard this, he thought that Mr. Pei must be worried, so he quickly booked another plane ticket to Mount Liang. They set off at seven oclock for a three-hour flight. Chen Xin arrived with Mr. Pei after nine. After getting off the plane, he went straight to the hospital. Chen Xin was still thinking that Mr. Peis relationship with Miss Li would ease this time. Unexpectedly, Miss Li had already gone back! But this!? Xue Jinzhu said seriously, President Pei, you missed Sister Li. She just left not long ago. Its possible that you missed her at the airport. Chen Xin asked, Zhuzhu, are you sure Miss Li has really left? Xue Jinzhu nodded. Of course Im sure. The director already said that. President Pei, why dont you call Sister Li? Eh, no, if the plane takes off, the call wont go through. There was a pause. Xue Jinzhu said, President Pei, Auntie Han hasnt left you yet. You havent picked up Sister Li. You can pick Auntie Han up too. Pei Jingzhou walked towards the hospital and said, Go back first. Chen Xin raised his voice and asked, Mr. Pei, are you going to pick Auntie up? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Chen Xin retracted his gaze and held Xue Jinzhus hand. Then lets go to the airport first. Xue Jinzhu said, But my luggage Chen Xin said, The production team will send it back for you. Lets go back first. Xue Jinzhu held Chen Xins arm tightly. Okay, Ill listen to you. Meanwhile, in Li Xiwus ward. On the third time Ah Yue came in to see her, worried, she suddenly suggested, Ah Yue, help me buy a sketchbook for drawing. And two pencils. Ah Yue asked curiously, Sister, do you want to draw? Li Xiwu nodded. Painting is quiet. It also passes the time. Ah Yue patted his chest. Leave it to me. Ill buy it right away. Li Xiwu smiled tightly. Thank you. Ah Yue smiled shyly. Sister, dont be so polite. A few minutes later. Panting, Ah Yue ran back to the ward with a brand-new sketchbook and two pencils. He handed the sketchbook and pencils to Li Xiwu. Sister, the sketchbook and pencils you wanted. Li Xiwu took it and saw Ah Yue sitting down beside the bed. She smiled and turned to the first page. She picked up the pencil and began to sketch the mans face according to her dream memory. The tip of the pencil rubbed against the sketchbook, making a swishing sound. The appearance of the person in her mind gradually appeared in the sketchbook, and the outline of his face became clearer. His facial features were roughly outlined. At this moment, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably Ah Yue noticed Li Xiwus strange expression and quickly stood up to ask worriedly, Sister, whats wrong? Li Xiwu steadied the pencil in her hand and took a deep breath. Ah Yues gaze landed on the person in the sketchbook and he grinned in surprise. Wow, Sister, your painting is like a photo. The eyelashes are so real. Li Xiwu composed herself and tilted the sketchbook in her hand to show Ah Yue. Have you seen him? Ah Yue shook his head. Sister, Ive never seen him before. Li Xiwu was just asking. It didnt take a genius to figure out that Ah Yue couldnt have seen him. All she needed to do now was draw a complete picture of the person in the dream and make it clearer. Then, she would think of a way to find this person and confirm if he existed. Buzz. Buzz. The phone by the bed was vibrating. Ah Yue reminded her, Sister, your phone is ringing. Li Xiwu came back to her senses and took the phone. Seeing the caller ID, it was Pei Jingzhou, whom she had not contacted for two days. She motioned for Ah Yue to be quiet. Ah Yue nodded obediently. Then she put the sketchbook away and pressed it under the pillow. She took her phone and got out of bed. She went to the window to answer the call and called out steadily, Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhous voice came from the phone. Youre back in the capital? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Not yet. I just boarded the plane. Im taking off later. Pei Jingzhou said, I just came to pick you up and you went back. Is it too late for me to rush to the airport now? Li Xiwu held her breath. Pei Jingzhou came to Mount Liang? Why? Is it too late? he asked with a smile. Li Xiwus tone was natural. Yes. Ill take off soon. Im afraid itll be too late. Pei Jingzhou said, Is that so? Li Xiwu was about to reply yes when Ah Yues voice came from behind. Who are you? What are you doing here? Li Xiwus chest tightened. Just as she was about to turn around, Pei Jingzhous voice came from the phone receiver and the door of the ward outside. Im looking for my wife. Chapter 169 - 169 Fourth Brothers Heartache 169 Fourth Brothers Heartache Li Xiwu felt that she must have misheard. When she turned around, she really saw Pei Jingzhou standing there. He was still holding his phone against his ear. When he came in, he was suddenly stopped by Ah Yue. As Ah Yue stopped Pei Jingzhou, he turned to ask Li Xiwu, He said that hes looking for his wife. Sister, do you know him? Under Pei Jingzhous direct gaze, Li Xiwu said calmly, Im his wife. Ah Yues eyes widened. Li Xiwu nodded, indicating that what she had just said was not a joke. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and pushed away the wide-eyed Ah Yue before walking straight towards Li Xiwu. Li Xiwus lips moved. Fourth Brother Just as she finished speaking, she was picked up by Pei Jingzhou. She reminded him immediately, Fourth Brother, your hand is injured. He turned a deaf ear. He carried her to the bed. Unlike the roughness of carrying her, his movements were exceptionally gentle when he placed her on the bed. After putting her down, he was in no hurry to get up. He placed his arm on the side of her pillow and looked at her carefully. Li Xiwu looked up at the expressionless Pei Jingzhou. At first glance, he did not seem to have any emotions, but if one looked carefully, they would notice that there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. She composed herself. Why didnt you tell me in advance before you came? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Ill tell you in advance so that you can escape in advance. Is that what you mean? Li Xiwu: To be honest, not only did she not expect Pei Jingzhou to come to Mount Liang, but she also did not expect him to look for her ward directly. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ah Yue walked over and said boldly, Dont be so fierce to Sister. Shes a patient now. Although Ah Yue was already 19 years old, he had been malnourished since he grew up in Mount Liang. His body was thin and small, and he looked like a 15 or 16-year-old child. Pei Jingzhous aura was very strong and terrifying, but when he saw Pei Jingzhou enter just now, Ah Yue would still use his body to block him without hesitation. Seeing that Pei Jingzhou did not react, Ah Yue boldly continued, Sister needs to rest well now. Dont disturb her, even if its your sisters husband Pei Jingzhou ignored Ah Yues chatter. He reached out to touch Li Xiwus forehead. Li Xiwu tilted her head to avoid his hand. You cant touch it. It hurts a little. Pei Jingzhou was expressionless. Serves you right. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and remained silent. When Ah Yue heard the words serves you right, he said in exasperation, As Sisters husband, how can you make sarcastic remarks? Did you know that Sister bled a lot when she hit her head last night? At that time, I was supporting her and my hands were covered in her blood. Ah Yue was not only honest, but also serious. He gestured as he spoke. He wanted to tell Pei Jingzhou how much blood he had on his hands at that time. The blood flowing from Sisters head is all on my hands. Before she fainted, she didnt forget to remind me to look for her mother-in-law. Other than the blood on her head, Sisters hands are also bleeding a lot. You dont know what Sister has experienced at all. You cant say that about her! Ah Yue didnt notice. But the more detailed he spoke, the darker Pei Jingzhous expression became. Before Ah Yue could finish, Li Xiwu interrupted, Ah Yue. Ah Yue restrained his voice. Sister Li Xiwu said, The ward is very stuffy. Youve been in the ward for so long. Go out for some air and buy some good breakfast. Although Ah Yue was worried, he obeyed. Okay. She waited for Ah Yue to leave the ward. Pei Jingzhou turned around and walked towards the door. Looking at Pei Jingzhous back, Li Xiwu guessed that he is not leaving, but There was a click. As expected, the ward door was locked. Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhou, who had returned. She smiled and felt helpless for the first time that she knew him so well. Pei Jingzhou sat by her bed and saw her smiling. You seem to be in a good mood? Li Xiwu didnt think too much about it and continued, Im probably in a good mood because Fourth Brother is here. Pei Jingzhou looked at her deeply. You usually anger me to death. Why are you so sweet today? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Its normal for husband and wife to bicker occasionally. Its not like they quarrel every day. The implication depended on ones mood. Pei Jingzhou did not reply. His gaze stopped on her forehead and his eyes darkened. Li Xiwu noticed the change in Pei Jingzhous expression and called out, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou looked at her. After looking at each other for a moment, Li Xiwu said, Actually, it doesnt hurt that much. Pei Jingzhous eyes were dark and unreadable. Then if I say that my heart aches, it will make it seem like Im acting for you. Li Xiwu asked, Does Fourth Brothers heart ache? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. She asked bluntly, and he answered bluntly. At this moment, Pei Jingzhous gaze landed on Li Xiwus left hand. When Li Xiwu sensed that Pei Jingzhou was looking at her left hand, she quietly placed her hand back under the blanket. The wound on her hand was cut by the thorny vine in the snow. At that time, blood was flowing down her fingertips, but her hand was already numb from the cold and she couldnt feel anything at all. It was only when Ah Yue discovered it that he reminded her. After arriving at the hospital, the doctor carefully treated the wound on her hand. After a night, it had already formed some scabs. It was nothing serious. Pei Jingzhou silently took her hand out of the blanket. Li Xiwu moved her hand, but Pei Jingzhou pressed it down. Dont move. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. My hand is fine. Pei Jingzhou said, Im not fine. Li Xiwu: ? The next second, she was pulled into Pei Jingzhous arms. He came in with a body of frost. After waiting for so long and confirming that the frost on his body had faded, he hugged her as he wished. She wasnt petite, but she was fragile in his arms. Li Xiwu was stunned. Fourth Brother, you said that youre not fine. Whats the matter? She heard his low voice. Thinking about you. Li Xiwu let him hold her without breaking free. Fourth Brother doesnt seem to be in a good mood. Pei Jingzhou sighed softly. So you can sense it too. Li Xiwu tried to adjust his emotions and change the topic. Did Fourth Brother meet the director and the others? Pei Jingzhou said, No. Li Xiwu said, Then how did Fourth Brother know that I didnt leave? Pei Jingzhou said, I called the director over for questioning. If he doesnt tell the truth, stop the show and let them decide for themselves. Li Xiwus lips twitched. It was indeed a threat from power and capital. She did not want Pei Jingzhou to be angry. Worried that the production teams director and others would be implicated, she left his arms and took the initiative to put her hands on his shoulders. Fourth Brother, I want to discuss something with you. Her action undoubtedly pleased Pei Jingzhou. But he knew everything she wanted to say. Afraid that I will take it out on them? Chapter 170 - 170 Remembering the Past Bit by Bit 170 Remembering the Past Bit by Bit Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Pei Jingzhous voice was low. Why dont you think about yourself? Li Xiwu looked into Pei Jingzhous eyes seriously. The first two episodes cant be broadcasted anymore. We have to establish a good positive image for this episode. If the car accident last night is exposed again, there might be some irreversible negative controversy on the Internet. I thought about it carefully. Even if the other guests are exposed, it wont be a big problem. My injuries are more serious. Im the one who mainly caused the negative news, so as long as this matter isnt exposed, it wont be a threat to the show. There was a pause. Li Xiwu added, Actually, I asked for my injuries. This really has nothing to do with the production team. Pei Jingzhous grip on her waist slowly tightened. So you want to hide it from me? Li Xiwu smiled awkwardly. Doesnt Fourth Brother know now? Pei Jingzhou sighed softly and pulled her into his arms again. Li Xiwu, sometimes I prefer you to be selfish and not think about others. With that, Pei Jingzhou moved her face closer to his neck. The scorching breath landed on her neck and it tickled her. Li Xiwu subconsciously shrunk her neck. The next second, Pei Jingzhous hand tightened on her waist and rubbed it in his arms. Dont dodge. Li Xiwu really did not dodge anymore. She obediently let Pei Jingzhou hug her. The door of the ward was locked just to be alone with her and not be disturbed. It was not to do anything else. Besides, Pei Jingzhou had no intention of doing anything with Li Xiwu in such a state. But he still took advantage of her. The heat that landed in the hollow of her neck quickly shifted to her face. Li Xiwu leaned back. The moment Pei Jingzhou kissed her, she smiled brightly and said, Fourth Brother, I smell of disinfectant. I slept the entire night and didnt brush my teeth. Pei Jingzhou said, Do you think I despise it? Of course Li Xiwu knew he didnt mind. Im already tired from breathing, she explained. I dont want to be even more tired. Pei Jingzhou chuckled and grabbed her hand that was supporting her body. This way, Li Xiwu could only lie down without any support. She thought that Pei Jingzhou was indignant because he did not kiss her. However, he only undressed and lay down beside her. Seeing that he had no next move, Li Xiwu closed her eyes in relief and took a nap. There was a faint pain in her head, but it wasnt particularly painful. It was to the extent that it could be ignored. Usually, when Pei Jingzhou was not around, she slept very peacefully alone. When Pei Jingzhou was by her side, she would subconsciously burrow into his arms. Pei Jingzhou would reach out his arm and let her rest on it before falling asleep. She didnt sleep long. It was only about an hour. But to Li Xiwu, the hour or so seemed like a century, as she sank into another dream The sky was as dark as when the storm came. Dark clouds blotted out the sun as rumbling fighter jets circled above. In the blink of an eye, cannon fire and smoke filled the air. She stood there in confusion, looking at everything in front of her helplessly. At this moment, someone pulled her from behind. She staggered and almost lost her balance. When she turned around, she saw the face she had drawn from memory again. His face was no longer calm and elegant, only anxious and worried. He shouted at her, Go Li Xiwu stood rooted to the ground in a daze. He repeated the word, but this time more harshly. Go She was frightened. In the dream, she couldnt help but cry. She stood quietly and motionless. Its too late. He spoke anxiously and reached out to push her out. Daddys going to save them. Ill be back soon. Nothing will happen. Go quickly. Go! Li Xiwu wanted to ask in her dream what had happened. But soon, the scene in front of her blurred. Sand and stones flew everywhere. It was dark and she couldnt see anything clearly. But one voice was very clear. He was shouting her name Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu, wake up, Li Xiwu There were calls and she suddenly opened her eyes. After being in a daze for a long time, she slowly regained her senses and realized that she had been woken up by Pei Jingzhou. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou was beside her. She quickly adjusted her breathing and calmed herself. How long have I been asleep? Pei Jingzhou said, An hour. Li Xiwu was disappointed. Its only been an hour. Why do I feel like Ive slept for a long, long time? Pei Jingzhou looked down at her. Thats because you were dreaming. Li Xiwu looked at him suddenly. Pei Jingzhou said word by word, Its a nightmare. Li Xiwus breath caught. Did I say anything when I was dreaming? Pei Jingzhous palm landed on Li Xiwus cheek and he removed the hair printed on her face. You dont have the habit of talking in your sleep. Li Xiwu didnt move. Then how did Fourth Brother know I had a nightmare? After Pei Jingzhou removed the hair on Li Xiwus face, his hand slowly moved up. You didnt sleep well. Also Li Xiwu chased after her anxiously. What else? After asking, Pei Jingzhou gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. You cried in your dream. Li Xiwu was stunned. She raised her hand to touch her face. Pei Jingzhou pressed her hand down. What do you want to eat? After waking up in the morning, she had not paid much attention to the time. It was fine if she did not know the time, but she did not know about hunger. Now that Pei Jingzhou asked, she felt hungry. She should eat something to fill her stomach. She said, Cantonese morning tea. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Okay. After Pei Jingzhou got up, Li Xiwu also got up. She was about to get out of bed when Pei Jingzhou asked her, What are you going to do? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. To the bathroom. Pei Jingzhou slowly leaned over and reached out to hug her. Li Xiwu raised her hand to support his chest. Pei Jingzhou looked down and knew that she was resisting his movements. He raised his eyebrows and deliberately misinterpreted. Embarrassed? Li Xiwus eyelashes were still wet, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright. I only hit my head. I didnt hurt my legs. I can go alone. As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere between the two of them froze for a moment. Pei Jingzhou held her hand on his chest. Li Xiwu thought that he was going to remove her hand, but she did not expect him to pull it behind his neck and wrap it around it. In the next second, her feet rose into the air and she was picked up by Pei Jingzhou again. Li Xiwu: All the bathrooms in the county hospital ward were squatting. Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhou beside her. Fourth Brother, arent you going out? Pei Jingzhou leaned against the door wall. Are you sure you wont fall into the bathroom? Li Xiwu smiled helplessly. I just hurt my head, not lost my mind. Pei Jingzhou said, You have both. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhou looked at her deeply. Li Xiwu did not avoid his gaze. After looking at him for a few seconds, Pei Jingzhou turned around and left the bathroom. A few minutes later, Li Xiwu slowly came out of the bathroom. Pei Jingzhou had yet to leave. He waited for her to come out, then made a point of saying, Ill get breakfast. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. After Pei Jingzhou left, Li Xiwu went to the bed to get her phone. Suddenly, her hand stopped. Noticing a corner of the sketchbook peeking out from under the pillow, she pursed her lips. She remembered that when she got up just now, the sketchbook was not exposed. Now that half of it was exposed, it was very likely that Pei Jingzhou had seen this sketchbook just now. Chapter 171 - 171 Han Qianye Wanted to End the In-Law Relationship Early 171 Han Qianye Wanted to End the In-Law Relationship Early Li Xiwu sat in a chair in front of the window. The sketchbook lay open on her lap. She held up her phone and took a picture of the sketch shed made that morning. Then she sent it to Qiao Qiao on WeChat. Just this photo. No words. She waited a moment. Qiao Qiao called. Bae, who was that sketch portrait in the picture you just sent me? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Do you know him? Qiao Qiao said, No, but a little familiar. Li Xiwus chest tightened. Familiar? After a pause, Li Xiwu asked again, sounding noticeably more anxious than before, Is he really familiar? Have you seen him? Qiao Qiao could hear the urgency in Li Xiwus tone and guessed that she probably didnt know the picture Li Xiwu had sent her. Qiao Qiao didnt dare to be perfunctory. She answered seriously, Its just that he looks a little familiar. If you ask me who he is, I really cant say who he is. Perhaps hes a celebrity? Or a business powerhouse? Listening to Qiao Qiaos various guesses, Li Xiwu smiled faintly. You dont have to think about it carefully. Tell me when you suddenly remember. Qiao Qiao suggested, Why dont I send it to one of my workgroups and ask? Several of my workgroups start with three hundred people. Li Xiwu had her own concerns. Its fine. Qiao Qiao agreed. Okay, I know. After answering, Qiao Qiao didnt forget to mention, Come to my house for dinner tonight. Li Xiwu smiled bitterly. I cant come. On the other end of the line, Qiao Qiao looked crestfallen. Why cant you come again? Li Xiwu didnt want Qiao Qiao to worry too much, but she didnt want to lie to her. After thinking about it, she told Qiao Qiao everything. Just as she had thought, Qiao Qiao was very anxious when she found out what had happened to her at Liangshan. She asked a bunch of questions. Is it serious? Are you feeling better now? Did the doctor say anything about any sequelae? Ill book a flight over immediately. Wait for me, bae. When Qiao Qiao finally finished speaking, Li Xiwu said, Its not a serious injury. Its much better. The doctor said there wont be any sequelae. Also, you dont have to come over. Pei Jingzhou is here. Qiao Qiao, who was about to book a plane ticket, heard that Pei Jingzhou was here and silently exited the booking software. Compared to the continuous bombardment just now, Qiao Qiao was much calmer after the shock. When did President Pei arrive? Li Xiwu said truthfully, This morning. Qiao Qiao was dissatisfied. Why didnt President Pei rush over immediately last night? Li Xiwu smiled. Like you, he didnt know. He only found out when he came to pick me up this morning. Qiao Qiao sighed. Bae, oh Bae, sometimes I wish you were more selfish. Li Xiwu was stunned. She remembered that Pei Jingzhou had said the same thing to her more than an hour ago. Now, Qiao Qiao was saying the same thing to her. Selfish? What was selfish? After thinking for a few seconds, Li Xiwu cut to another formal topic. Qiaoer. On the other end of the line, Qiao Qiao heard the seriousness in Li Xiwus tone. Huh? Whats wrong, Bae? Li Xiwu asked, Did you know anything about my past before you met me? Qiao Qiao didnt think too much about it and replied, I know. You said it before. You were an orphan who grew up in a welfare institute. You went to elementary school, junior high school, and university in the same place. Your life was a mess. When I heard that, I sighed with emotion. It wasnt easy for you to grow up. She mentioned Li Xiwus past. Qiao Qiao had to mention how they knew each other. She continued, We met at a hairdressers. Youre a customer and Im a hairdresser because I gave you a haircut that was going to call the police. In case you did, I said Id give you a months wash for free, and that was how we met. At that time, I thought you were a poor university student. You thought I was a delinquent who had entered society early. In the end, not long after, I found out that you were actually a rich wife. After hearing Qiao Qiaos past, Li Xiwu had no choice but to emphasize, Not long after you found out that I was the wife of a wealthy family, I also happened to discover that under the car key with your Hongguang logo, it was actually a Maybach logo. Qiao Qiao smiled awkwardly. Hey, I came out to start a business and open a hair salon. I didnt ask for a single cent from my family. Only that car kept following me and wasnt taken back. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. Yes, your business failed, so you havent returned it. Therefore, you hope that the old man at home wont be able to make it so that they can call you back to inherit the family assets. Qiao Qiao: It would have been better if she hadnt said anything, but once she did, it became a sad matter. Qiao Qiao sighed. Dont mention it. That old man at home is very healthy. I dont know how long it will take to inherit the family assets. What Im worried about now is whether tomorrows work can be carried out. If it doesnt, Ill have to starve again. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. At this moment, the ward door opened. Pei Jingzhou was back. Li Xiwu ended the call with Qiao Qiao, closed the sketchbook, and got up. Pei Jingzhou walked over with breakfast and noticed the sketchbook in Li Xiwus hand. He took one look and retracted his gaze. Breakfast, he said gently. Li Xiwu walked over. She was about to ask Pei Jingzhou if he had seen the sketch. Pei Jingzhou suddenly said, You havent drawn in a long time. Youre still so good at it. Li Xiwu choked back her question. Just as she was wondering if she should continue asking, Pei Jingzhou asked her, Who did you draw? He looks to be a certain age. Is he someone you know? Before Li Xiwu could answer, Pei Jingzhou said, Why dont you try drawing me? Ill be your free model. I can wear or take off my clothes. Li Xiwu: She didnt know if Pei Jingzhou did it on purpose. But since he had asked her who she was drawing and shown that he did not know the sketch, Li Xiwu did not need to ask again, because she knew that if she asked, he would still answer in the same way. However, the more this was the case, the more curious she became. Who was the person she had drawn based on her dream memories? Did he have anything to do with her? C At four in the afternoon, Li Xiwu boarded a plane back to the capital with Pei Jingzhou. At the same time, Han Qianye, who had already flown back to the capital, gathered with Lin Yourong. The two of them drank afternoon tea and shopped. They bought a bunch of things. After paying, they didnt have to take those things away. They just got the people in the shop to send them to the Pei residence. Lin Yourong wanted to call her niece, Lin Huan, out. However, before Han Qianye came back to ask her out, she emphasized that she was not allowed to call anyone else. Only then did Lin Yourong give up on bringing Lin Huan along. They were sitting down to afternoon tea. Han Qianye revealed the thought she had been holding back for a long time. Rongrong, I plan to leave the variety show in advance. When Lin Yourong, who was stirring her coffee, heard this, her eyebrows twitched. Quit early? Dont you want to chase Li Xiwu away? Han Qianye sighed. Not only do I have to withdraw in advance, but I also plan to give 400 million yuan to Li Xiwu in advance to end this annoying mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship as soon as possible. Chapter 172 - 172 So Pei Jingzhou Has Such a Clingy Side 172 So Pei Jingzhou Has Such a Clingy Side Han Qianye had already thought it through. If this was what Li Xiwu wanted, then she would satisfy her and give her money. It wouldnt be a problem even if it was another 100 million or 200 million. Anyway, she had plenty of money. As long as Li Xiwu was happy. When she expressed the idea of giving Li Xiwu an extra 200 million, Lin Yourong restrained the smile on her face and was the first to disagree. Why did you give her so much? God knew how happy Lin Yourong was when she heard Han Qianye say that she wanted to end her relationship with Li Xiwu in advance. She tried her best to suppress her crazy smile. In the next second, she heard Han Qianye say that she wanted to give Li Xiwu an additional 200 million! 200 million! That adds up to 600 million. Lin Yourongs face was tense as she said seriously, Qianye, why are you being such a sucker? Just the 400 million is enough for Li Xiwu to squander for a few lifetimes. Han Qianye reasoned, But Li Xiwu has been married into our Pei family for three years. I can count on my fingers the number of times Ive seen her in these three years. Ive never given her a good attitude once. The 400 million is compensation for being the daughter-in-law of the Pei family for three years. The other 200 million is compensation for her as an incompetent mother-in-law. Lin Yourong was furious. But she couldnt show all her anger. Hence, she tried to persuade her in another way. Qianye, youre born to be soft-hearted. If others treat you a little better, you think theyre extremely good. Dont forget that youre on a variety show this time. How can she not treat you well in front of tens of thousands of viewers? She also cares about her reputation, okay? What she did was just for show. In fact, you dont know how she scolds you for being pretentious behind your back. Han Qianye asked with a long face, Am I pretentious? Lin Yourong was embarrassed. She said a bunch of logic, but Han Qianye caught the last sentence. Lin Yourong put down her coffee cup and moved over a little. She smiled awkwardly and said, Its not pretentious. I was wrong just now. Its just that as wealthy ladies, were always more noble than those country bumpkins. However, in those peoples eyes, they think were not easy to get along with. Han Qianye looked at Lin Yourong. Country bumpkins? Which one of them isnt from the countryside generations ago? Do you look down on country bumpkins? She asked three consecutive questions. Lin Yourong was stunned. Han Qianye was in a bad mood and stopped the conversation. Alright, dont persuade me anymore. Anyway, Ive already thought it through. Ill give Li Xiwu 600 million yuan. From now on, well go our separate ways. As long as shes doing well, its fine. Lin Yourong knew that nothing she said could change Han Qianyes decision. She was also afraid that she would be annoyed, so she stopped the topic. She took the opportunity to mention something else. Qianye, do you remember that Huanhuan wanted to customize clothes for you? We happen to have time today. Why dont we go to Huanhuans studio now? Of course Han Qianye remembered. For this matter, she had already stood up on the young lady once. She raised her hand to her wristwatch. It was almost four-thirty. Lets go, then. C Night had just fallen. Li Xiwu nestled on the pumpkin sofa in front of the French windows to take a call from Ding Wei. When she came back today, she deliberately said goodbye to Ding Wei and Ah Yue and asked for Ding Weis number. Ah Yue couldnt bear to part with her. Apart from a few words from Ding Wei at first, Ah Yue was the one talking to her. The awkward Mandarin was mixed with a local accent, so Ah Yue spoke slowly, afraid she wouldnt understand. Actually, after interacting with Ah Yue, she could understand his words. As he spoke, Ah Yues tone gradually became choked. Li Xiwu was silent for a moment before saying slowly, Ah Yue, live well. If you can walk out of the mountain, you must walk out of the mountain. Ah Yue agreed. Okay, Sis. Li Xiwu was slightly stunned when she heard this. If she remembered correctly, at Ah Yues place, being called Sister was a polite way of addressing guests her age. Sis was what he called his biological sister. Ah Yue treated her as his biological sister. After ending the call, Li Xiwu was silent for a long time. After composing herself, she began to deal with the work messages on WeChat. Not long after, Pei Jingzhou came to call her. Its time to eat. Li Xiwu agreed without looking up, then continued to reply to work messages. As she replied, her phone suddenly disappeared. When she looked up, the phone was already in Pei Jingzhous hand. The next second, it entered Pei Jingzhous pocket. He said, Time to eat. Li Xiwu said, There are still two unanswered work messages. Pei Jingzhou was unmoved. Lets eat first. After looking at each other for a moment, Li Xiwu finally compromised. Tonight, Pei Jingzhou cooked very lightly. Someone like Li Xiwu, who loved spicy food, had never had much of an appetite for food that was too light. Perhaps most patients had the same mentality. The more injured they were, the more they wanted to eat something that stimulated their taste buds. She got up, wanting to go to the kitchen and get a jar of her own hot sauce. Pei Jingzhou saw through her intentions. The doctor said to avoid all food that stimulates your taste buds. Li Xiwu tried to negotiate. Is a little okay? Pei Jingzhou looked up at her and rejected her mercilessly. Not at all. Li Xiwu: After returning from the county hospital in Mount Liang, Pei Jingzhou was worried and brought her to the hospital in the capital. She did a thorough checkup. Other than the wound on her head, there were no other problems. The doctor had specially instructed her not to eat food that stimulated her taste buds during her recuperation. Li Xiwu sighed. Not even the hot sauce I made? Pei Jingzhou was still unmoved. No. Li Xiwu muttered softly, I should have returned to the small courtyard. Pei Jingzhou picked up some vegetables for her. Do you have a misunderstanding about me? Li Xiwu was stunned. Huh? Just as she thought that Pei Jingzhou was about to say something serious, Pei Jingzhou said, You mistakenly thought that I was deaf. Li Xiwu: Although the dinner was tasteless, Li Xiwu did not let Pei Jingzhou worry too much because he had been working for the entire night. However, Pei Jingzhou probably really took care of her like a child. He would follow her wherever she went. Like a little tail. This was also the first time Li Xiwu felt that Pei Jingzhou had such a clingy side. Moreover, he gave her a legitimate explanation. Im afraid that youll fall if youre not careful. I wont be able to discover it immediately. Li Xiwu smiled. Am I a child? Pei Jingzhou said, In my eyes you are. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. It seems that Fourth Brother likes to take care of children. Pei Jingzhou suddenly asked her, Do you like children? Li Xiwu said truthfully, I like it. She liked it, but that didnt mean she wanted to have one herself. Other children were little angels that could heal everything. If she had one with Pei Jingzhou, it would be a burden. After all, it was the Pei familys bloodline. In terms of final custody, even with the law in front of her, she might not be able to compete with the Pei family. As she thought this, her chin was suddenly lifted. When their eyes met, Pei Jingzhou said in a low voice, In the future, lets adopt a child. Chapter 173 - 173 Pei Jingzhou Will Always Put Her First 173 Pei Jingzhou Will Always Put Her First Li Xiwu was stunned. The first time she heard from Pei Jingzhou that he wanted to adopt a child, she was surprised. When she said that Pei Jingzhou was infertile that day, other than guessing, she was also joking. Judging from his serious expression, he didnt seem to be talking casually. Instead, he really had the idea and plan to adopt a child with her. She pursed her lips. Is Fourth Brother serious? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. Li Xiwu paused before saying, In that case, the next successors of the Pei family can only be Pei Jiao and Youan. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. The Pei family is not a conservative family. They dont reject foreign bloodlines. Li Xiwu smiled. As she smiled, she thought of something. She boldly said, Then according to Fourth Brother, doesnt that mean that the child I have with another man also has the right to inherit the Pei family? With that, Pei Jingzhous face went as black as the bottom of a pot. Seeing that something was wrong, Li Xiwu turned to leave. Before she could take half a step, Pei Jingzhou pulled her back. Pei Jingzhou held her waist and raised his eyebrows. Have a child with someone else? Hmm? Li Xiwu didnt know what went wrong, but she insisted on having the upper hand. Fourth Brother was the one who said that the Pei family doesnt reject foreign bloodlines. I was your wife once. If I had a child with someone else, that bloodline isnt too far away. With that, she smiled. There was nothing wrong with the logic. What was wrong was Pei Jingzhous mentality. Pei Jingzhou stared at her and said seriously, Adoption is to prevent you from suffering from pregnancy and childbirth. If you insist on giving birth, its not impossible to have a test tube. Its just that compared to being a painless mother, it will be even harder after the pain. Li Xiwus breath caught. The next second, she pushed Pei Jingzhou away and turned around. She maintained her normal tone. You have to be responsible for adoption. Besides, I havent thought about having a child for the time being. Im tired. Fourth Brother, Ill go rest first. She headed for the bedroom. Pei Jingzhou smiled. However, as he smiled, the smile on his lips faded. Thinking of that sketchbook, Pei Jingzhou narrowed his eyes in deep thought. C That night, Li Xiwu was already prepared to sleep restlessly. She kept feeling that she would fall into a dream again. However, she surprisingly slept well. She slept until dawn and was woken up by her frequently vibrating phone. She took the phone and saw that it was a call from Han Qianye. She answered, Auntie. Han Qianye asked her, The show needs to rest for two days before recording. Are you at Lake Lu today? Li Xiwu said, Yeah. Han Qianye hesitated for a moment. I want to see you. Its just the two of us. Li Xiwu listened to Han Qianyes serious tone and pursed her lips. Auntie, whats the matter? Han Qianye enunciated each word clearly. Its very important. Since she said that it was important, Li Xiwu would definitely not guess that it was a lie. Just as she was about to agree, Han Qianye suggested, Why dont I come to Lake Lu? Li Xiwu thought for a few seconds and agreed. Okay. She ended the call. She got up and washed up. A few minutes later, she came out of the bedroom and saw Pei Jingzhou sitting at home working. When Pei Jingzhou heard her come out, he closed his notebook and stood up. Have breakfast. After sitting down at the dining table, Li Xiwu asked, Isnt Fourth Brother going to the company today? Pei Jingzhou poured her milk and pushed it to her right. Obviously. Li Xiwu did not know that Pei Jingzhou did not go to the company. She thought that Han Qianye would come later and even said that there were only the two of them. Han Qianye probably did not expect Pei Jingzhou not to go to the company today, so she wanted to talk to her at Lake Lu. At the thought of this, Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said, Im going out later. Ill be back in about half an hour. Fourth Brother, you dont have to come with me. Pei Jingzhou looked up. So you think Im superfluous? Li Xiwu said, I didnt say that. Pei Jingzhou asked, Where are you going? Li Xiwu didnt lie this time. She said truthfully, Your mother asked to see me about something. Your mother. It sounded like a distant word. Pei Jingzhou looked down at the breakfast in front of Li Xiwu. Seeing that she did not move, he reminded her, Eat quickly. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Fourth Brother hasnt made his stand yet. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. If I dont express my stance, you wont eat? Li Xiwu didnt think so. She just wanted to make it clear, but since Pei Jingzhou had said so, she continued, Yes, if Fourth Brother doesnt express his stance, I wont eat. Pei Jingzhou sighed helplessly. Theres no need to go out. Ill stay in the study and not come out to disturb you. Li Xiwu was skeptical. Pei Jingzhou smiled bitterly. Theres no trust between husband and wife? Li Xiwu picked up a piece of toast and took a small bite. Husband and wife still have secret stashes. Pei Jingzhou raised his hand in an innocent manner. Im not hiding anything. Li Xiwu smiled tightly. Eat your breakfast. C Pei Jingzhou actually had a lot of things to do. But he suppressed everything and stayed at home with her wholeheartedly, just afraid that something would happen to her at home alone. The aftereffects of a concussion would cause headaches, dizziness, and so on from time to time. Once the aftereffects acted up, there might be some irreversible small situation if he was not careful. Li Xiwu could feel his meticulousness. As a substitute, she couldnt respond much, so she chose to ignore it. Before Han Qianye came, Pei Jingzhou returned to the study. Li Xiwu deliberately put on a fishermans hat to open the door. Auntie. Han Qianye was dressed in a noble style today. The crown-level sable skin she was wearing was estimated to be at least seven figures. The curls she had made on a whim a few days ago had been changed to large curls. Her makeup was very exquisite, and she had returned to her usual cold self. Han Qianye noticed the hat on Li Xiwus head. Why are you wearing a hat at home? Li Xiwu said, New hat. I was just trying it on. After saying that, she openly showed it off. Auntie, do you think it looks good? Han Qianye probably did not expect Li Xiwu to ask her if the hat looked good. She immediately could not maintain her aloofness. Li Xiwu gestured for her to come in. Han Qianye adjusted her facial expression and came in. When she passed by Li Xiwu, she said, The hat doesnt look good, but it looks good on you. Li Xiwu smiled. Thank you for your praise, Auntie. Han Qianye snorted. I was just praising you. Dont take it so seriously. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile and reached out to close the door before following her in. Han Qianye had not been to Lake Lu many times and had almost forgotten the furnishings of this house. She looked around and retracted her gaze before sitting down on the sofa. Li Xiwu went to open the room temperature refrigerator and asked, What do you want to drink, Auntie? Han Qianye sat upright and cleared her throat. No need. Ill leave after Im done. Just a few words. If it was just a matter of a few words, it could be made clear over the phone. However, Han Qianye had come personally and was even dressed so formally. Her expression was also very serious. Then these words should be very important. Chapter 174 - 174 Han Qianye Knew the Truth 174 Han Qianye Knew the Truth In order not to waste Han Qianyes time, Li Xiwu closed the fridge and walked over. She sat down opposite her. Auntie, go ahead. Han Qianye opened her bag and took out a check. The check had been filled in with numbers: six hundred million. Li Xiwu had good eyesight and could tell at a glance that the one Han Qianye had just taken out of her bag was a check. She could guess what was going to happen next, so she was also prepared to reach out and take the check at any time. She waited for Han Qianye to hand it to her. Han Qianye cleared her throat. After coming back from Mount Liang this time, I thought about it seriously and felt that it was not good to continue like this. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwus reaction and sighed in her heart. In the end, she could not bear to part with her. However, she knew that no matter how reluctant she was, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship had reached its end. Just as Rongrong had said, a large part of the reason why Li Xiwu was accommodating and good to her was because she was recording a show. Everything was acting and there was no real emotion. Since all she wanted was money, she would give her money. The sooner they divorced, the better. Han Qianye slowly reached out and handed over the check in her hand. This is my Ding dong. Ding dong. Ding dong. There was a sudden urgent ring at the door. Before Han Qianye could finish, she changed the topic. Whos here? Li Xiwu stared at the check in Han Qianyes hand. Its fine. Dont worry about it for now. Are you going to give me this? She was already holding out her hand when she asked. Han Qianye retracted her hand. Go and see whos here first. Li Xiwus hand froze in midair. Seeing that Han Qianye had taken the check back, she took a deep breath and said helplessly, Okay, Ill go take a look first. Han Qianye stood up with her. Which way is the bathroom? Li Xiwu pointed. That way. Just turn around. Han Qianye nodded and walked over. When Li Xiwu went to open the door, her mind was filled with the check she had just glimpsed from the corner of her eye. The number with the caption seemed to be six? Six. 600 million? Aye, she couldnt think too well of it yet. What if it was 60 million yuan? It was also possible that Han Qianye planned to give it to her in installments. With that thought in mind, she opened the door. Qiao Qiao was standing outside the door with a cake and a pile of food. When she saw Li Xiwu open the door, she raised her hands. Clang, clang, clang! Bae, look, I brought you something delicious. Li Xiwus eyebrows jumped. An ominous feeling rose in her heart. She bent down and took out her slippers from the shoe cabinet. She placed them in front of Qiao Qiao and reached out to take the things she was holding. Qiao Qiao quickly changed into her shoes. Its quite heavy. Dont take it. Ill do it. Qiao Qiao had come to Lake Lu many times. Every time, she would come when Pei Jingzhou was not around. Qiao Qiao was still quite afraid of Pei Jingzhou, afraid that she would meet him again. But this time, she had to come. Her good friend was injured. No matter how afraid she was of Pei Jingzhou, she would have to overcome it. So she came over timidly. As she walked inside, Qiao Qiao hunched her neck and looked around. Li Xiwu walked behind and smiled. Qiaoer, do you know what you look like? Qiao Qiao placed everything on the bar before replying. I know. Like a thief. Li Xiwus smile widened. Indeed. Qiao Qiao sighed. Youre still laughing. Do you know how much courage I mustered to come here today? Li Xiwu played along. How brave? Qiao Qiao waved her hand. Forget it. It took me half an hour just to mentally prepare myself before I went out. Li Xiwu asked, Is it possible that Pei Jingzhou isnt at home? Qiao Qiaos expression froze for a few seconds. A few seconds later, she straightened her back and walked towards the sofa. As she walked, she said, Youre so seriously injured this time. I thought Pei Jingzhou would stay at home with you. So I was thinking too much. If I had known, I would have come earlier. A waste of that half an hour of mental preparation. Li Xiwu quickly went forward and reminded Qiao Qiao, Keep your voice down. Qiao Qiaos expression stiffened. Is Pei Jingzhou at home? Li Xiwu shook her head. No, he She was about to say something when Qiao Qiao suddenly reached out and removed the fishermans hat from Li Xiwus head. Why are you still wearing a hat at home? Doesnt the inner edge of the hat press down on the wound? You cant do this. Be good. You can wear the hat again when youve recovered. Li Xiwu could only signal Qiao Qiao with her eyes. Normally, Qiao Qiao understood what Li Xiwu meant when she saw her eyes. However, after Qiao Qiao took off her hat, she was so focused on the design of the hat that she didnt notice Li Xiwus gaze. After looking at the style of the hat, Qiao Qiao said, No wonder you wear a hat at home. This hat is indeed unique. Li Xiwu: Qiao Qiao put her hat aside and went forward to hold Li Xiwus face. Dont move, Bae. Let me take a look at your wound. Li Xiwu didnt know whether to laugh or cry. The gauze is on. You cant see it. Qiao Qiao said, Why did you hurt yourself like this for that old kerosene barrel? Fortunately, its above your hairline. A little more and youd be disfigured. Li Xiwu quickly covered Qiao Qiaos mouth. Qiao Qiao thought that Li Xiwu thought she was being too emotional, but she couldnt stop herself from saying it. She pried Li Xiwus hand away and said, Put yourself first in everything. Take it that Im begging you, bae. Dont always be so reckless. If you had been a little more unlucky back then Li Xiwu continued to cover Qiao Qiaos mouth. Qiao Qiao was stronger than Li Xiwu. She pried it open and finished speaking. If youre any more unlucky, you wont exist in this world. Li Xiwu said in a low voice, Alright, Qiaoer. Qiao Qiao was unconvinced. Youre not letting me say it. Im just angry that you almost lost your life looking for Han Qianye. Dont be so stupid in the future. This time, it was too late for Li Xiwu to cover Qiao Qiaos mouth. As Qiao Qiao finished speaking, not far behind her, Han Qianyes puzzled voice sounded. What are you talking about? The unexpected sound made Qiao Qiao jump. Qiao Qiao looked up and saw Han Qianye standing not far away, dressed very expensively, looking at her and Li Xiwu. It was actually Han Qianye? Why was Han Qianye here too? Li Xiwus heart sank as she met Han Qianyes gaze. Auntie, shes my best friend, Qiao Qiao. We were talking about what to eat for lunch today. Han Qianye said, I dont have bad hearing. I heard your friend clearly just now that you almost lost your life because of me. Qiao Qiao said, So you dont know. Then Ill be a good person and tell you. Li Xiwu lowered her voice. Qiaoer. Qiao Qiao didnt listen to Li Xiwu. She said firmly, You were in a car accident. Li Xiwu put herself in danger to find you. Did you see the gauze on her head? She was injured because she was looking for you. Han Qianye, Im not trying to morally kidnap you, nor do I want you to return the favor to Li Xiwu. I just hope that you can give in to her and treat her a little better when you dont see eye to eye with her. Chapter 175 - 175 Han Qianyes Heart Ached 175 Han Qianyes Heart Ached When she saw Han Qianyes shocked and disbelieving expression, three words flashed through Li Xiwus mind: Money is gone. Be it 60 million or 600 million. They were all gone for the time being. Her heart suddenly began to bleed Qiao Qiao saw Li Xiwus uncomfortable expression and thought that Li Xiwu was touched that she had said it for Han Qianye to hear. In the end, she comforted her. Bae, I just dont want you to suffer. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Yes, I know. With that, Li Xiwu sighed helplessly. Qiao Qiao heard this sigh and felt that Li Xiwu was too touched. Bae, I think we should make things clear. Youre always indifferent, but my heart aches for you. Li Xiwu closed her eyes hard. My heart aches too. Her heart ached because it was bleeding. At this moment, Han Qianye asked calmly, Is what you said true? Qiao Qiao laughed angrily and turned to look at Han Qianye. Do you think I have the time to make up a story to tease you? Han Qianye remained silent and turned to look at Li Xiwu. After a moment of silence, she called out to her, Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu looked up. Han Qianye said, I still have something on. I have to leave first. Can you send me off? Li Xiwu agreed and said to Qiao Qiao, Wait for me. Qiao Qiao disagreed. Han Qianye, are you human? Shes still recuperating. Do you know that she has a concussion? She can faint at any time. Han Qianyes heart skipped a beat when she heard that it was a concussion. Is that serious? Li Xiwu shook her head. Its not that serious. Qiao Qiao nodded. Its very serious! Ill take over such a small matter. Han Qianye felt especially upset, especially in her heart. She felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a needle. No need. Ill walk by myself. She didnt say anything else and left with her bag. Li Xiwu gave Qiao Qiao a look, and Qiao Qiao pouted. Okay, go ahead. Li Xiwu turned around to send Han Qianye off. Han Qianye only realized that Li Xiwu had followed her out when she came out. She quickly said, Dont send me off. Go back and rest. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Its fine. Qiao Qiao was just scaring you. Han Qianye frowned. Im sorry. I didnt know about this. Li Xiwu said bluntly, I asked the director and the others to suppress this matter. Han Qianye did not understand and said with concern, You can suppress it, but youre so seriously injured. You have to let me know, right? Besides, you were injured because of me. Li Xiwu said only two words. Im sorry. Han Qianyes expression was tense. I know you just want me to feel guilty. You did it. I really feel guilty and sad now. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Han Qianyes gaze moved up and stopped on the gauze on Li Xiwus forehead. She asked in a muffled voice, Were you injured when you were looking for me that night? Li Xiwus voice was soft. Yes. Han Qianye said, So, at the county hospital, the director said that you left first. Actually, you were still in the ward at that time? Li Xiwu answered with the same word. Yes. Han Qianye asked again, After returning from Mount Liang, did Jingzhou take you to a big hospital for a checkup? Li Xiwu said, Yes. Han Qianye asked, Are you feeling better? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Actually, its nothing serious. Nothing serious is what you said. This is a concussion, not a casual bump. I was so dizzy I thought I had a concussion, but the doctor said I was just in shock. A real concussion has vomiting and dizziness. The aftereffects last for days. With that, Han Qianye was angry and heartbroken. Are you stupid? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Maybe. A little. Han Qianye: After a few seconds of silence, Han Qianye took half a step forward and looked at Li Xiwu with heartache. Can you not hide everything from me in the future? I have the right to know. Li Xiwu was still smiling faintly. Okay, Ill try. Han Qianye said in a muffled voice, Youre patronizing me again. With that, Han Qianye reached out to touch Li Xiwus face. Li Xiwu lowered her eyes and did not move, letting Han Qianye touch her. At this moment, Han Qianye carefully held Li Xiwus face with one hand as she looked up and carefully looked at the gauze on Li Xiwus forehead. There was no sign of oozing blood on the white gauze. But she couldnt see how the wound was under the white gauze. Was it big or small, or deep or shallow? Han Qianye said gloomily, Your friend is right. Dont wear a hat for the time being. It will press down on the wound. Li Xiwu agreed obediently. Okay. At this moment, Li Xiwu was like a good student. She would agree to whatever Han Qianye said. She would agree to whatever Han Qianye instructed her to do. She was so obedient that her heart ached. At least Han Qianyes heart ached. However, in fact, the obedient expression on Li Xiwus face was only to pave the way for what she was about to say. She looked at Han Qianyes emotions and probed, Auntie, did you come to me today for something else important? Han Qianye was still immersed in self-blame and sadness. When she heard Li Xiwu mention her motive for coming today, she belatedly remembered that she was here to give Li Xiwu a check and then suggest ending the relationship between mother and daughter-in-law in advance. She pulled back and covered her bag, lying without blushing. I was just bored and came to talk to you. Li Xiwu raised her lips. Just talking? Han Qianye nodded. Yeah. Li Xiwu took a deep breath. I just saw that you seemed to have taken out a check. Are you prepared? As soon as she finished speaking, Han Qianye took out the check from her bag. Aiya, I almost forgot if you didnt mention it. Li Xiwu thought that Han Qianye was probably going to fool her. Unexpectedly, she took out the check again. The hand at her side was ready to reach out and take the check at any moment. It was within reach. Han Qianye held the check and said, Ive recently planned to invest in a hot spring hotel. When spring comes next year, Ill probably be able to start this investment plan. This 600 million is the starting capital. I came here today to discuss the development plan of the hot spring hotel with you and want your opinion. Li Xiwu: !!! A few seconds later, she finally sighed and smiled in resignation. Shouldnt you have brought a proposal to look for me when were discussing the development plan? Why did you bring a check to talk to me about investment? Han Qianye lied seriously. I dont know much about this. I only know how to throw blindly. Li Xiwu was surprised. A blind throw? If they were to blindly invest like Han Qianye, then Pei Corporation definitely had a good incense offering since they did not collapse. Han Qianye seemed to have seen through Li Xiwus thoughts. What youre worried about wont happen. Im a lucky person. I earn whatever I invest. Ive never lost money all these years. Li Xiwu smiled. Seeing Han Qianye put the check back into her bag, she gritted her teeth and thought to herself that this was how heartache felt. It throbbed. It was still dripping blood. Qiaoer, thank you so much. Chapter 176 - 176 Her Impressive Family 176 Her Impressive Family Just as her heart ached, Han Qianye, who had put away the cheque, suddenly said, Im not very good at taking care of people, and I dont know how to treat people well, because its always been others who please me. Ive always thought that anything that can be solved with money, I usually solve it with money. Later, Ill transfer 20 million yuan to your account. Go buy whatever you want to eat. Li Xiwu politely declined. No need. Han Qianye was very insistent. Ill transfer it to you later. Tell me when its not enough. Li Xiwu asked hesitantly, Is it included in the 400 million? Han Qianye thought for a moment. No. Worried that Li Xiwu would not be able to take it standing outside like this, she reminded her, Hurry up and go in. I should go back. Li Xiwu did not refuse again and nodded. Take care. When Han Qianye left, she was still very worried. You have to rest well. Spend the money if you have to, remember? Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. Li Xiwu watched Han Qianye enter the elevator and heaved a sigh of relief when the elevator door closed. Meanwhile, Qiao Qiao was lying on the sofa and eating potato chips with a satisfied expression. The crisp sound filled the entire living room. Suddenly, the crisp sound disappeared Qiao Qiao looked at the man standing outside the sofa in horror and trembled in fear. The potato chips in her hand fell to the ground. P-President Pei. Pei Jingzhous cold gaze swept past Qiao Qiao and finally stopped on the potato chips that had fallen to the ground. He frowned. Qiao Qiao immediately squatted down. Ill pick it up. Right away. Pei Jingzhou asked, Where is she? Qiao Qiao pointed at the door. Your mother Auntie was here just now. Xiwu sent Auntie out. She should be back soon. Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao quickly lowered her head. I-I-I-Ill pick it up right away. Li Xiwu opened the door and entered. She saw Pei Jingzhou standing there elegantly while Qiao Qiao squatted on the ground anxiously picking up things. At first glance, Qiao Qiaos face was pale. She was clearly frightened by Pei Jingzhou. She walked over and Pei Jingzhou looked up. Youre back. Li Xiwu said, Yeah. She walked past Pei Jingzhou and squatted down in front of Qiao Qiao to help her up. Theres no need to pick up the dirt on the ground. A part-timer will come and clean it later. After a pause, Li Xiwu reminded Qiao Qiao, Qiaoer, youre here as a guest. Qiao Qiao also realized that she had been a good slave just now. She reacted and stood up. Yes, why should I pick it up?! With that, Qiao Qiao stole a glance at Pei Jingzhous expression. Not long after she said that, she immediately changed it to, Actually, I still have to pick it up. Its only comfortable to look at the clean ground. Li Xiwu suppressed her smile and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou said calmly, I didnt say anything. Li Xiwu said, Fourth Brother is here. Qiao Qiao doesnt feel comfortable talking to me, so Fourth Brother, you should go inside and work. Pei Jingzhou was unhappy. He glanced sideways at the culprit, Qiao Qiao. What an undeserved calamity. Qiao Qiao moved behind Li Xiwu and laughed dryly. Hehe. Pei Jingzhou was a little speechless. When Pei Jingzhou returned to the study, Qiao Qiao suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. This Pei Jingzhou is unpredictable. I was almost scared to death just now. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, Are you that afraid of him? Qiao Qiao confided, A large part of the reason why Im afraid of Pei Jingzhou is because our family has someone like Pei Jingzhou, who is expressionless like a living King of Hell. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows in amusement. Your brother? Qiao Qiao whispered, My little uncle. Li Xiwu asked, Is your father strict? Qiao Qiao shook her head. Dont mention my father. Hes a coward. Li Xiwu expressed her understanding. Most brothers have opposite personalities. Its more than the opposite. Qiao Qiao placed her hands on her hips and shrugged. If my father had been more promising, our Qiao family wouldnt have fallen into the hands of an outsider. Li Xiwu wasnt too sure about Qiao Qiaos family members yet, because Qiao Qiao had never fully said it. But Qiao Qiaos family background was very prominent. There was no doubt about that. As for the outsider Qiao Qiao had just blurted out, Li Xiwu was quite curious. Do you mean the little uncle you just mentioned? Qiao Qiaos eyes widened. I havent even said anything and you already guessed. Li Xiwu smiled. You have to suppress your desires first. I guess what you just said must be connected. Qiao Qiao gave Li Xiwu a thumbs up. Li Xiwu gestured for Qiao Qiao to sit down and speak slowly. Qiao Qiao didnt sit down. She took the cake shed brought first. The cake was small. Qiao Qiao had made it herself. Li Xiwu could tell at a glance. Because the cream wasnt evenly smeared, the small cookies on the cake were scattered in all directions. They didnt look good, but they definitely didnt taste bad, because Li Xiwu had eaten cakes like this many times. Qiao Qiao made them. Li Xiwu listened to Qiao Qiao talk about the Qiao family as she ate the cake Qiao Qiao had made for her. It turned out that the Qiao familys foundation was in Xingzhou. Qiao Qiaos grandmother had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was Qiao Qiaos father. Her aunts husbands family was in the capital. Qiao Qiao did not say who it was exactly. The other son was the third son, but he was not Grandma Qiaos biological son. He was the son of Grandpa Qiaos comrade. Grandma Qiao and Grandpa Qiao doted on this adopted son so much that the entire Qiao family was almost in the hands of this adopted son. He was only short of real power. Qiao Qiao was quite indignant. Why should the Qiao familys foundation be handed over to an outsider? On what grounds? Seeing that that person was getting more and more high-spirited in the Qiao family, Qiao Qiao looked at her biological father again. He raised flowers and fed fish every day, making Qiao Qiao extremely anxious. Later on, Qiao Qiao, who couldnt hold it in anymore, began to encourage her father to seize power. If her father didnt seize it, she would seize it herself. In the end, she failed and was reprimanded by Grandpa Qiao. In a fit of anger, Qiao Qiao drove the only Maybach under her name away from home. She left for more than three years. She did not go back to the Qiao family once, and no one came to look for her. When she first arrived in the capital, she had no relatives or friends, so it was difficult for her. It was quite difficult at first. After all, only she knew what she had experienced in the past. In any case, she did not expect to survive in the capital. After hearing this, Li Xiwu asked, Youve been in the capital for three years, but the Qiao family hasnt contacted you for three years? Qiao Qiao sighed. They did, my parents asked me to go back, but Im stubborn. I said Id go back when the old man was dying. In the end, the old man became stronger and stronger. Hes only in his early eighties. I heard from my mother that he can probably live to be a hundred years old. Li Xiwus heart ached a second ago. The next second: Thank you for reading on https://www.novelhall.com Chapter 177 - 177 I Saw About Pei Jingzhous News Four Years Ago 177 I Saw About Pei Jingzhous News Four Years Ago Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Then doesnt that mean youll be in your forties when you get home? Qiao Qiao looked hopeless. I dont think Ill have to wait that long. Li Xiwu said, Huh? Qiao Qiao looked even more hopeless than before. I saw Qiao Jingmo recently. Qiao Jingmo? Li Xiwu was slow to react for two seconds. Your little uncle? He came to the capital? Qiao Qiao nodded in a muffled voice. Yes. Li Xiwu could tell that Qiao Qiao was afraid of Qiao Jingmo to a certain extent, and Qiao Jingmos personality was similar to Pei Jingzhous. That was why Qiao Qiao kept a respectful distance from Pei Jingzhou every time she saw him. She ended the topic and said, Ive never heard you mention anything about your family before. Why are you telling me so much about your family today? In the past, if Qiao Qiao didnt want to mention it, Li Xiwu wouldnt pursue the matter. Because every time Qiao Qiaos family was mentioned, Qiao Qiaos face didnt look very good. Li Xiwu was indeed very surprised today. But at this moment, Qiao Qiao suddenly sat up straight and turned to look at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu: ? Qiao Qiao swallowed as if she was giving her last words. I harmed Qiao Jingmo in Xingzhou in the past. Now that hes in the capital and knows where I live, its equivalent to exposing the major artery in my neck to him. Bae, if you suddenly cant contact me or cant find me one day, remember to watch the news immediately. For example, a headless female corpse was fished out of a river, or a female living alone was killed at home. When you see news like that, if its confirmed that its me, remember to call the police the next second and inform my parents to come and collect my corpse. Ive been wandering outside for three years. I dont want to be wandering outside even if I die. Li Xiwu: Qiao Qiao looked like she was serious. She even gave Li Xiwu her parents contact details. Bae, remember this number. After a pause, Qiao Qiao said, If anything happens to me, you dont have to avenge me. I wont let him off even if I become a ghost. Li Xiwu: After staying for so long, Qiao Qiao was ready to go back. Li Xiwu asked Qiao Qiao to stay for a meal. Qiao Qiao replied, Im afraid Ill choke to death in advance when Im at the same table as President Pei. Pei Jingzhou was at home today, so Li Xiwu didnt force Qiao Qiao to stay. However, seeing Qiao Qiaos mental state, she suggested, Why dont you stay in the small courtyard recently? Ill come over and accompany you tonight. Qiao Qiao looked honest. I didnt tell you. Actually, I moved in last night. Li Xiwu stifled a laugh. She walked Qiao Qiao out the door. As she was about to enter the elevator, Qiao Qiao suddenly remembered something Li Xiwu had instructed her to do. She turned around and said, The thing you asked my friend to investigate Li Xiwu gestured to Qiao Qiao. Go back first. Well talk on WeChat. Although Pei Jingzhou was inside, it was better to be careful than to be careless. Qiao Qiao understood what Li Xiwu meant and left first. When Li Xiwu returned, she saw that Pei Jingzhou had already come out of the study and was putting on an apron to enter the kitchen. She walked over. Fourth Brother is cooking personally again? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Again? Li Xiwu smiled and did not reply. After Pei Jingzhou entered the kitchen, Li Xiwu followed. Seeing that she was leaning against the side with no intention of going out, Pei Jing smiled. Youre already standing here. Why dont you praise your husband? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Then what praise do you want to hear, Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhou said, It depends on you. Li Xiwu propped her chin on her hand and thought for a few seconds. She praised seriously, As a man, you are like Emperor Qin. Pei Jingzhou looked up at her. Li Xiwu smiled slyly. Fourth Brother doesnt like this? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Could there be a next sentence? There is. Li Xiwu slowly moved to Pei Jingzhous side and looked at the appetizer that Pei Jingzhou had just mixed. While Pei Jingzhou was preparing other side dishes, she quietly took her favorite hot sauce and secretly placed a spoonful of hot sauce into the appetizer. As she poured the hot sauce, she even spoke, trying to hide her sneaky behavior. If being handsome is a crime, then Fourth Brother is already guilty. What do you think of this praise? This hot sauce was not spicy. One spoonful felt a little lacking, so she prepared to put another spoonful in. Pei Jingzhou came over and took the spoon from her hand. I already turned a blind eye when you poured the first spoonful. You actually wanted to put in a second spoonful? Li Xiwu smiled awkwardly. My hands dont listen to me. Pei Jingzhou touched her face and smiled helplessly. Be good. When Pei Jingzhou found out that she had added hot sauce, she thought that Pei Jingzhou would throw the entire bowl of appetizer and make it again. But he didnt. In the end, he still indulged her. She stood quietly at the side and watched Pei Jingzhou put on an apron and cook. After looking at him for a long time, she thought that if she ignored everything else and just looked at what he was doing for her now, wouldnt it be as the saying went? The smell of the mortal world touched the hearts of mortals the most? Fourth Brother. She spoke suddenly. Pei Jingzhou was mixing the soup and replied, Mhm. Li Xiwu asked, Do you know Qiao Jingmo? Pei Jingzhou slowly stopped mixing the soup and looked at her sideways. Li Xiwu said, I was just asking. Pei Jingzhou said, Xingzhou is very far from the capital. The Pei Corporation doesnt have much business contact with Deep Blue. Deep Blue was the Qiao familys company and the largest company in Xingzhou. Li Xiwu asked, What about his character? Pei Jingzhou said, Im not sure. Typically, this answer was perfunctory. However, Li Xiwu clearly felt that Pei Jingzhou was not patronizing her. He really did not have much contact with Qiao Jingmo of Xingzhou, so he did not know what kind of person the other party was. She had thought that Qiao Qiao was exaggerating. Now she was a little worried about Qiao Qiao. She turned away from the kitchen and found her phone to send Qiao Qiao a message. There were unread messages. When she opened them, she saw that twenty million had been transferred. Han Qianye was not joking. She had really given her 20 million yuan. Li Xiwu digested this fact, then opened WeChat. Qiao Qiao had already sent three WeChat messages. Qiao Qiao: [file format] Qiao Qiao: [Extract code: 5789] Qiao Qiao: [Thats what my friend found out. Take a look first. Tell me if you think somethings wrong, and Ill look for her. Even if theres a discount, this money cant be spent for nothing, right?] Li Xiwu typed a reply: [How much did this information cost?] Qiao Qiao: [Dont worry about it.] Li Xiwu smiled. Qiao Qiao was afraid that she would transfer the money to her. Qiao Qiao sent another WeChat message: [Investigating President Pei is easily intercepted. That friend said that she will only investigate this time and wont take on any more orders in regards to President Pei.] Li Xiwu pursed her lips and wondered if Pei Jingzhou already knew that someone was investigating him this time. But since she had already found out, she would read it first. She clicked on the file. When she quickly browsed through it, she was stunned by some information Chapter 178 - 178 Four Years Ago, Chaos in Country T 178 Four Years Ago, Chaos in Country T Country T was in chaos. Large-scale evacuation of emigrants. When she saw these words, Li Xiwu was stunned for a long time. In the timeline, the unrest in Country T was four years ago. Even four years ago, the Internet must have been filled with reports of the unrest in Country T. But she had no impression of the unrest in Country T four years ago. Logically speaking, this shouldnt be the case. Had she forgotten something? Li Xiwu continued reading. After the information she found, it detailed the time Pei Jingzhou went to Country T, the reason for his injury, the time he returned to the country, and the time he was hospitalized. This was a very complete timeline. Although there was not much content, it was indeed the information Li Xiwu wanted. After reading it, Li Xiwu fell silent. In summary, four years ago, there was chaos in Country T, a large-scale evacuation of emigrants, his fiance, Pei Jingzhous injury, seventeen days in the ICU, and a notice of critical illness The turmoil in Country T in front had already shocked Li Xiwu. When she saw that Pei Jingzhou was seriously injured and the doctor had given the notice of critical illness, her heart trembled. She had imagined Pei Jingzhous serious injuries, but she would never have imagined that they were so serious that he had already issued a notice of critical illness. Li Xiwu held her breath. She exhaled and took a long time to calm down. It was also written in the timeline that the reason Pei Jingzhou was injured was to save his fiance. And this fiance was the Li You she had never seen before. After a long silence, Li Xiwu suddenly remembered the dream. Cannon fire and smoke filled the air. Just thinking about it, if there was a large-scale evacuation after the turmoil in Country T, such an urgent situation might appear in the end when there was no time to finish the evacuation. And the person who had called her Little You in her dream. Did she really have anything to do with all of this? There were too many thoughts in her mind to bear. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her head. Li Xiwu almost lost her balance. She held the sofa and squatted down. When the pain subsided, she heard footsteps behind her. Li Xiwu. It was Pei Jingzhous voice. Li Xiwu was about to stand up when her head hurt even more. The pain made her dizzy and she fell straight back onto the carpet. Pei Jingzhou, who had rushed over, picked her up and placed her on the sofa. A headache? Li Xiwu silently turned off her screen. Yes, a little. Pei Jingzhou quickly got up and returned to the bedroom to get a down jacket. He came over and draped it over Li Xiwu. When he leaned over again and wanted to pick Li Xiwu up, Li Xiwu gently grabbed Pei Jingzhous collar. Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou looked down at her. Huh? Li Xiwu said, It was just for a while. Actually, its much better now. Pei Jingzhou said in a low voice, Im worried. Lets go to the hospital to take a look. Li Xiwu shook her head. Fourth Brother, have you forgotten what the doctor said? Its normal for patients with concussions to have headaches during their recovery. Pei Jingzhou said, I dont remember what the doctor said. Ill only be at ease if we go to the hospital. Li Xiwu could not dissuade him. In the end, she was taken to the hospital by Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou was so worried that he scared the doctor. He thought that the sudden situation might be really serious, such as intracranial hemorrhage. He quickly examined Li Xiwu. In the end, nothing happened. The doctor said, Plenty of rest. Reducing the use of your brain is the key to recovery. These words reminded Li Xiwu. The reason why her head suddenly hurt was very much related to the document about Pei Jingzhou being seriously injured four years ago. They came out of another tunnel in the hospital and got into the car. Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhous tense expression. The doctor said that its nothing serious. Pei Jingzhou placed his hands on the steering wheel and asked her, So what are you thinking about? Why would you have a headache because of that? Li Xiwu was speechless. Back at Lake Lu. Pei Jingzhou kept carrying her. Li Xiwus feet dont touch the ground the entire time. She was worried about the wound on his arm, but he said angrily, If you really care about me, think less. Li Xiwu said, What about thinking of Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhou said, Thinking of me makes you have a headache? Li Xiwu smiled tightly. After spending some time in the hospital, Li Xiwu was already very hungry. Pei Jingzhou had originally planned to bring her out to eat, but Li Xiwu refused. It was probably because she did not want to waste the few dishes Pei Jingzhou had painstakingly cooked at noon today. After the meal, Pei Jingzhou followed Li Xiwu closely. Puzzles, adult Lego, chess, and so on were the most suitable things to pass the time. However, because they had to use their brains, Pei Jingzhou did not let Li Xiwu play. When shed digested her meal, hed lure her to bed. It wasnt exactly sleep. At first, Pei Jingzhou was very obedient, but Li Xiwu tossed and turned in his arms and could not sleep. Pei Jingzhous hands began to move. Li Xiwu pressed his hand down. Fourth Brother, how can I sleep like this? Pei Jingzhou said, Your mind is full of things. Li Xiwu stared at his jaw for a moment. Who has nothing on their mind? Her retort had a point. Pei Jingzhou pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. Then remove all the things in your mind for the time being. Li Xiwu: ? She had been wondering if Pei Jingzhou was planning to tell her some interesting story to distract her from those things. In the end, he took action directly The moment her mind went blank, she understood the deeper meaning of Pei Jingzhous words. After a long time, her heart barely calmed down. In the end, Li Xiwu felt weak all over. She did not even have the strength to open her eyes. Her eyelids drooped and fell asleep. Just as she thought she could sleep in peace, Pei Jingzhou kissed her. Li Xiwu was powerless to resist. Wash your hands, she whispered. Pei Jingzhou said, Just sleep. Dont worry about me. Li Xiwu: She did not want to worry about him and wanted to sleep. But how could she sleep like this? This way, she really couldnt think about anything else. She had wanted to find time in the afternoon to search online for information about the turmoil in Country T four years ago. Not only was she curious about the turmoil in Country T four years ago, but she was also curious why she had no impression of it at all. However, she never had the chance to search. Especially since Pei Jingzhou had always been by her side. The phone on the bedside table was vibrating. Li Xiwu came back to her senses and reached out to take it. Pei Jingzhou reached out in front of her and took the phone from the bedside table. Li Xiwu saw that it was Qiao Qiao on the screen. Worried that it was an urgent call from Qiao Qiao, she tried to snatch the phone back. However, Pei Jingzhou had already picked it up and turned on the speakerphone On the other end of the line, Qiao Qiaos voice was very loud. Bae! Your Mother Dragons account has been hacked!!! Li Xiwu: Chapter 179 - 179 Pei Jingzhous Anger, Warned Yu Hewei To Restrain Herself 179 Pei Jingzhous Anger, Warned Yu Hewei To Restrain Herself Mother Dragons account had been hacked?! From the nameless to the popular Mother Dragon account, it had never been hacked. How could it suddenly be hacked? The point was that she hadnt noticed at all, and the phone hadnt given her any hint. Qiao Qiao explained the situation in one breath. I just saw the news online. The exact situation is that after your Mother Dragon account was hacked, you posted a video of your back on the beach. The key is that this video is also marked with a location in Country T. Netizens have compared it. The Sailboat Opera House opposite the beach is one of the famous and unique buildings in Country T. Li Xiwu asked, Why Country T? Qiao Qiaos voice was clear. Im not sure about that. Its not a big deal to release an unrelated video. The fans will think that youre sharing your life. The key is that I dont know who started the trend on the Internet and started to defame you. They said that you were pretending to be Mother Dragon previously, causing many netizens to mislead them into thinking that youre Mother Dragon. Now, the real Mother Dragon is in Country T and youre in the capital. Especially the back view in the video, its completely different from you Li Xiwu looked grim. She took the phone back from Pei Jingzhou and sat up. Let me take a look first. Qiao Qiao said, Then hurry up and see if you can get your account back. If not, Ill call my friend to try. Li Xiwu agreed. After ending the call, she clicked on the short video software. The account showed that she had logged in from afar, and she had forcefully logged off. The warning reminded her to change the login password as soon as possible if there were any abnormalities. Li Xiwu was stunned. This account was really hacked! She tried to see if she could log in again. When she saw the page full of delicacies appear in front of her again, Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had actually logged back in. Regardless of whether the other party was a hacker or using any other methods, Li Xiwu changed the password first. After changing the password, she went to see a video posted by a stranger using her account after the account was hacked. The sound of the wind, the beach, the sailboat opera, the back of a woman, short hair. At first glance, this video did look like a sharing of life. There were more than 30,000 comments below the video: [I actually waited for Mother Dragons entire body to appear on screen in my lifetime. Im so happy even if its just her back view.] [My favorite Mother Dragon is actually short hair!] [A butterfly bone and a slender back view. Shes definitely the Mother Dragon in my imagination.] [Mother Dragons back view is so scary. Her figure is so amazing.] [I saw the online analysis saying that Li Xiwu, who was very popular in Mother-in-Law Joy, often scammed Mother Dragon, so Mother Dragon personally posted a video to refute the rumors.] [This slap in the face is really amazing. Li Xiwu is too embarrassed to scam others now, right? The main character has even come out to refute the rumors.] [How can Li Xiwu compare to Mother Dragon with her popularity?] There were many comments. Other than crazily praising Mother Dragon, the rest were all connoting Li Xiwu herself, connoting that she had been scamming Mother Dragons popularity recently. The phone was suddenly taken away. Li Xiwu glanced sideways and saw Pei Jingzhou pause his phone. Dont read these. Li Xiwu inhaled. One of my short video accounts was hacked. I have to find out whats going on. Pei Jingzhou said, Ill help you investigate. Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhou silently. After Pei Jingzhou interpreted her expression, he smiled. You dont believe me? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Give me the phone. Actually, those comments cant affect my mood. Im a manager myself, so Ive seen all kinds of public opinion. Im just worried about the fact that my account was hacked. I still have to reply to Qiao Qiao on WeChat. Pei Jingzhou returned the phone to Li Xiwu. His hand cupped Li Xiwus face. Dont think too much. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Okay. Then, Pei Jingzhou lifted the blanket and stood up. Li Xiwu asked, Where are you going? Pei Jingzhou said, Im afraid youll be too anxious. Im making a call and telling him to investigate this matter. C The terrace was empty. The wind that approached evening mixed with the coldness of winter. However, what was colder than the winter wind was Pei Jingzhous expression. He made a call and waited for the other end to pick up. There was no answer on the other end. A shocked expression appeared on Pei Jingzhous face. After a few seconds of silence, he called Madam Di Xin again. Madam Di Xin picked up the phone and greeted him politely. Mr. Pei. Pei Jingzhou said coldly, Put Yu Hewei on the phone. She was already old, so Madam Di Xin naturally couldnt pretend that she didnt know anything. She called out to the person beside her, Weiwei. Yu Hewei ignored her. Madam Di Xin lowered her voice. Come here. In the end, Yu Hewei reluctantly walked over and answered Pei Jingzhous call. Yu Hewei was a little nervous. Whats the matter, Mr. Pei? Pei Jingzhou: Still in the capital? Yu Heweis nervous mood immediately lightened. No, Im back in Country T. Pei Jingzhous voice was so cold that it was shocking. Ill ask you again. Are you in the capital? Yu Hewei was shocked. She said calmly, So what if Im here? Pei Jingzhou, are you angry and planning to denounce me? Pei Jingzhou warned her, Yu Hewei, youd better restrain yourself. Yu Hewei fell silent. After a moment, Yu Hewei composed herself. How long do you want to hide it from her? Pei Jingzhou said, This has nothing to do with you. Yu Hewei lost control of her emotions. How is it unrelated to me? Ive been by Li Yous side every year in Country T. Were best friends! Pei Jingzhou sneered. Yu Hewei, do you think Ive forgotten those things? Those things Yu Hewei choked. After a moment of silence, Yu Hewei said slowly, I know I was wrong back then, but havent you already gotten what you wanted? Pei Jingzhou said, Why? Did that Gu guy look for you again? Yu Hewei inhaled. No. Pei Jingzhou reminded her coldly, Yu Hewei, theres a limit to my patience. Dont provoke me again. With that, Pei Jingzhou hung up. On the other end of the line, Yu Hewei took down her phone with a dark expression. Behind her, Madam Di Xin called to her, Weiwei. Yu Hewei turned and handed the phone back to Madam Di Xin, who took it. It doesnt look like a pleasant conversation. Yu Hewei pursed her lips. Pei Jingzhou doesnt let me interfere. Madam Di Xin stared at Yu Hewei. Are you really in contact with that Gu? Yu Hewei didnt lie to Madam Di Xin. He contacted me first. Madam Di Xin narrowed her eyes. You shouldnt contact that Gu person again. Madam Di Xin knew a little about what had happened back then. Pei Jingzhou and Little You were already engaged. When Little You was in Country T, Pei Jingzhou would spend a lot of time flying to Country T every year to accompany her. At that time, Little You had a senior who admired her. His name was Gu Lanshi. Chapter 180 - 180 Bit By Bit, Until She Discovered Her Background 180 Bit By Bit, Until She Discovered Her Background In order to be with Little You, Gu Lanshi convinced Yu Hewei to help him and created many opportunities for the two of them to interact. At that time, Yu Hewei knew that Little You and Pei Jingzhou were engaged. Helping Gu Lanshi pull strings was unkind to begin with. It was probably because of this matter that Pei Jingzhou still cared and did not treat Yu Hewei well. Yu Hewei was furious and told Madam Di Xin the truth. Actually, Gu Lanshi came to talk to me about this plan. I didnt read the entire contents of the variety show carefully, but Gu Lanshi did. He speculated based on the netizens guesses and with his understanding of Li You, he quickly confirmed that his guess was correct. That very popular Internet celebrity was Li Xiwu herself. Hacking accounts and public opinion were all part of Gu Lanshis plan. He wanted Li Xiwu to sense it and let her investigate it herself. He wanted her to find out bit by bit until she found out about her background. Otherwise, she wouldnt believe him if he told Li Xiwu directly Yu Hewei spoke for a long time. Madam Di Xin asked Yu Hewei, So he can already tell? Yu Hewei smiled. Obviously, isnt it? Madam Di Xins expression was solemn. This person is too scheming. Dont interact with him too much in the future. Yu Hewei nodded. Okay. C When Pei Jingzhou went to the terrace to make a call, Li Xiwu opened the video again and stared at the back of the video for a long time. She replayed the short-haired girl she knew in her mind. She knew a lot of short-haired girls. However, there were not many girls with slender figures and short hair like in the video. Suddenly, the girl she had seen in Qionglou appeared in Li Xiwus mind. She also had short hair and a slender figure. She liked to wear very thin eyeliner and looked very mature. Yu Hewei she murmured. Pei Jingzhou, who had come in from the terrace, paused when he heard Li Xiwus murmured name. Li Xiwu looked up at him. Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou walked towards her. Ive instructed them. There will be a result soon. Li Xiwu nodded and showed the video to Pei Jingzhou. She asked calmly, Fourth Brother, do you think this back view looks familiar? Pei Jingzhous expression was normal. A little. After a few seconds of silence, Pei Jingzhou spoke again. Yu Hewei? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Fourth Brother thinks it looks like Miss Yu too? Pei Jingzhou replied calmly, I happened to hear you say this name when I came in. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. I was just looking at the short hair in the video when I suddenly remembered Miss Yu, whom I saw at the Qionglou that day. She also had short hair like this. It left a deep impression on me. Pei Jingzhou replied jokingly, Maybe its her. Li Xiwu was stunned. She could naturally hear the playfulness in Pei Jingzhous words, but if she thought about it carefully, it was not impossible. Could it really be Yu Heweis doing? Was she trying to test something? But why hacked her account? Moreover, her account was protected by the platform. If this could be hacked, it was obvious that the other party must have come prepared. Pei Jingzhou took her phone away and placed the screen aside. Ive booked dinner at Shengshi Hotel. Its almost here. Get up and prepare for dinner. C The night passed especially long. Han Qianye naturally saw the trending topics on Weibo and those curses. Especially when the netizens scolded Li Xiwu for scamming Mother Dragon, Han Qianye was furious. Mother Dragon? Who is this person? Is she very impressive? She clicked on it. Sixteen million fans?? Whats so great about that? Our Xixi has also attracted a lot of fans on variety shows, okay! Who wants to ride on your popularity? She clicked on the cooking videos Mother Dragon had posted. She played one at random. After watching it, Han Qianye curled her lips. Thats all. After saying that, Han Qianye couldnt help but open another cooking video. After watching it, the corners of Han Qianyes lips slowly curled up. Little thing, you still have some skills. Just as she was about to open the third video, Han Qianye hesitated. She couldnt look anymore. If she looked again, she wouldnt be able to help but pay attention. After exiting the short video software, she called the Pei Corporations public relations team. Have you suppressed the public opinion? The public relations manager replied, Mrs. Pei, were suppressing it here. As you expected, weve made ample preparations for the scandal that attacked Young Madam this time. Han Qianye no longer cared if the other party had come prepared. All she cared about now was, When will this public opinion be suppressed? The public relations manager said, Its almost done. Well suppress all public opinion in ten minutes. Han Qianye heaved a sigh of relief. Thats good. The public relations manager said, Actually, when you contacted us, President Pei had already instructed us. Han Qianye was relieved. Thats good. After hanging up, Han Qianye felt much better. It was time for dinner. Han Qianye, who had just sat down, saw Pei Qingji and Pei Jiao sit down one after another. She suddenly said, Hubby, Jiaojiao, dont you think our house is a little cold? Pei Qingji knew what Han Qianye wanted to say. At the thought of his eldest son, who was even more arrogant than him, he immediately said, Youan is in school and Jingzhou is married. He definitely has to live separately from us. Otherwise, if too many people live together, it will easily affect their relationship as husband and wife. Han Qianye wanted to ask her son and daughter-in-law to move back to the Pei Residence. When she heard Pei Qingjis words, she immediately felt that it made sense. Youre right. If we live together and affect their relationship, it wont be worth it. Pei Qingji said, Exactly. Pei Jiao ate silently at the side, probably wondering if she should accept todays order. Jiaojiao? Pei Jiao? Han Qianye called out twice before Pei Jiao came back to her senses. Her cheeks were puffed up as she looked at her mother in confusion. Whats wrong? Han Qianye said, Do you still remember the betrothal your grandfather arranged for you when you were young? Pei Jiao said as she chewed, I remember. Isnt that a joke? Who would take it seriously? Han Qianye couldnt help but laugh. Who said it was a joke? Pei Jiao: ? Han Qianye said, Wei Yu is returning to the country soon. You might want to meet, have a meal, and visit the Wei family. Pei Jiao was distracted and did not think much of it. So be it. Just make the arrangements. Pei Jiao had almost no impression of this person. She had only seen him when she was five or six years old. She went to stay at the Wei Residence for two days. The betrothal was set on those two days. At that time, how could a five or six-year-old brat know about betrothal? She had kissed Wei Yu when she was young. After the meal, Han Qianye went to exercise for a while. After the exercise, she prepared to look at Weibo and see if the public opinion had been suppressed. She wouldnt have known if she hadnt seen it, but she was shocked when she saw it. Just as the previous public opinion was suppressed, another public opinion related to Li Xiwu exploded!! Chapter 181 - 181 Madam, Youve Been Blacklisted 181 Madam, Youve Been Blacklisted Han Qianyes face darkened when she saw the new public opinion. What is this production team doing? Why are they still exposed! Currently, the heated discussion about Li Xiwu scamming Mother Dragon has just been suppressed. In the blink of an eye, a tweet called #Mother-in-Law Joys Car Accident# appeared on the trending searches. There was already a heated discussion online. Many big V bloggers were quickly forwarding it now. The popularity was getting higher and higher. As soon as it was refreshed, it quickly entered the top three trending searches. [Before I clicked on it, I thought it was a joke. I didnt expect it to happen.] [Im glad shes fine. I was scared to death by the headline.] [Mother-in-Law Joys public service this time is really meaningful. I hope they wont be criticized. Everyone, discuss rationally.] [Im eating melons. Im eating melons. I saw someone reveal the situation after the car accident. Refresh and see the forwarding.] [After seeing the gossip, it means that Li Xiwu is really cold, but her coldness is also really cold.] [Its fine if she didnt wait for the others. The key is that she didnt even wait for her mother-in-law, Han Qianye.] [Is Li Xiwu preparing to debut? Half an hour ago, she dominated the trending searches and lost the popularity. Half an hour later, she dominated the trending searches again.] [She was slapped in the face with Mother Dragon and came back with another trending topic.] [Li Xiwu and Han Qianye cant be a combination mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, right? Perhaps Li Xiwu is going to debut??] There were too many comments. All kinds of guesses and inferences emerged. She swiped it down, and saw most of them were almost mocking comments. As for the fans who really liked Li Xiwu and the passersby who didnt like her, they couldnt stand it anymore. Many people jumped out to speak. [Li Xiwu does so many meaningful things. Some people pretend to be blind and cant stop criticizing such a thing.] [Who doesnt have an emergency? If Li Xiwu has something very important to leave for the time being, cant she?] [Mother-in-Law Joy has been too popular recently. Her live broadcast popularity has been breaking through a new high. Shes probably blocking someones path. Someones buying anti-fans to forcefully harm her.] [No matter how much you criticize, I just like to watch Mother-in-Law Joy. I just like Li Xiwu. Dont like me? Come and beat me up.] The negative public opinion that had arisen was that an unknown blogger had posted some fabricated misinterpretation on Weibo. Especially after the car accident was exposed, she immediately exposed the car accident as an internal member of the production team. Li Xiwu left selfishly and immediately sent the words Li Xiwu to the peak of public opinion. When Han Qianye saw the trending topic, she was furious. At this moment, Lin Yourong called. Qianye, you were right to end this relationship as soon as possible. That Li Xiwu is really a two-faced person. Han Qianye was already angry. Hearing Lin Yourongs ridicule, she was even angrier. Who are you calling two-faced? Lin Yourong did not realize that Han Qianyes anger was already directed at her. She continued, You didnt say what happened at Mount Liang when you came back to ask me out. You just said that you wanted to end your relationship with Li Xiwu in advance. So you finally saw Li Xiwus true colors. Qianye, believe me, quickly chase Li Xiwu out of the house. Han Qianye was still very angry a second ago. The next second, she quickly calmed down. She said to Lin Yourong, I did see it clearly. Lin Yourong was overjoyed. I knew it Before Lin Yourong could finish, Han Qianye interrupted, Dont contact me for the time being. Lin Yourong: ? Beep, beep, beep, beep The busy tone from the receiver reminded Lin Yourong that Han Qianye had hung up on her. Lin Yourong refused to give up and called again. A prompt came from the speakerphone. Im sorry, the number youve dialed is temporarily unavailable Lin Yourong still did not give up and continued to call. It was still the same reply: Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable Lin Yourong had never been blocked, so she did not know what was going on. The servant who entered the house was immediately stopped by Lin Yourong. Come here for a moment. When the servant heard her, she walked over carefully. Whats wrong, madam? Lin Yourong asked, Look at my phone. Is something wrong? Ive called Qianye several times, but the other party cant connect for the time being. The servant was stunned for a moment, then whispered, Madam, youyoud better not call. Lin Yourong asked, Why cant I call? The servants voice was even softer than before. Because youve been blacklisted. Lin Yourong: ??? Blacklisted? Han Qianye blocked her?! On the other hand, after Han Qianye temporarily blocked Lin Yourong, she called Gao Yueban, the executive director of Mother-in-Law Joy. Gao Yueban had already panicked when he saw the second trending topic. When he received Han Qianyes call, he nervously changed his form of address. Mrs. Pei. Han Qianye questioned, Didnt you say that this matter was suppressed? Why was it exposed again? Gao Yueban also felt aggrieved. I just found out that someone in the know took money and exposed this matter. Han Qianye frowned. Took money? By whom? Did you find that person? Gao Yueban said truthfully, I did, but he only admitted that he took the money and didnt tell me who it was. I fired him. Han Qianye felt uncomfortable. Cant you force a confession out of him? Gao Yueban was shocked. Mrs. Pei, this is the modern world, not ancient times. The modern world has to talk about the law. As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yueban immediately fell silent. How could he have forgotten that Han Qianye had the Pei family behind her? Not only was Han Qianyes husband an arrogant business sniper when he was young, but he was also a lawless big shot. Gao Yueban swallowed silently. Han Qianye asked, Did the cameraman record the video along the way when Xixi came to find us? Gao Yueban said, Yes, there must be. After a pause, he quickly said, When I saw the trending searches just now, I instructed them to edit the video. Who knew that it would ferment so quickly? The ghostwriters swept away the popularity and sent it up in an instant. The video is relatively long and is still being edited. Im preparing to post it on Mother-in-Law Joys official Weibo account. Han Qianye said decisively, Send it to me after its edited. Ill post it on Weibo. The officials can just forward it. Gao Yueban understood what Han Qianye meant. She was going to stand on Li Xiwus side and help Li Xiwu straighten her back to counter the netizens speculation and slander. Therefore, Gao Yueban agreed. Once the video was edited, he would send it to Han Qianye. She waited for more than half an hour. Han Qianye received a video from Gao Yueban. She clicked on it first. Once the live broadcast ended, the camera would still be recording to enrich the premiere content. The editor was very good, especially at the beginning when they sat around for dinner in Ding Weis village social office. As they ate, they received a call that something had happened to the car that left. Chapter 182 - 182 Han Qianye Posted On Weibo: My Xixi Is Always The Best 182 Han Qianye Posted On Weibo: My Xixi Is Always The Best At the later part of the video, everyone was carrying out an emergency rescue. Li Xiwu had been helping, pawing at the snow. She was doing everything she could. Everyone else had been found except Han Qianye. Li Xiwus expression was clearly nervous and worried. These were all her true feelings. After that, someone accidentally misled everyone and thought that Han Qianye had fallen down there. Other than Ding Wei and the two young men, no one else said anything. Li Xiwu went down without hesitation. Then something happened Han Qianye burst into tears when she finished watching the video. The moment Pei Qingji entered, he saw that his wife was crying. Without another word, he knelt down. Honey, I was wrong. Han Qianye stopped crying and looked at Pei Qingji, who was kneeling. Why are you kneeling? Pei Qingji asked, Then why are you crying? Han Qianye pointed at her phone sadly. Pei Qingji quickly stood up. Oh, so it has nothing to do with me. Then its fine. Han Qianye had no time to care about Pei Qingji. She opened Weibo. Her personal Weibo account had been registered for a long time. When she came up with an ID name, she couldnt think of a good name, so Youan gave her an even more rustic and unpleasant ID name. It was called: So Beautiful That She Had No Friends. Not only was the ID given by Youan, but the first Weibo post was also a selfie of Youan with a caption: Of course my mothers first Weibo post is about her handsome son~ This Weibo account has been kept until now. As time passed, Han Qianye almost forgot that her first Weibo post was a full-face photo of her youngest sons handsome face. After editing the content of the video, she clicked send. So Beautiful That She Had No Friends V: [My Xixi is always the best.video. So Beautiful That She Had No Friends Weibo videos] This was the first time Han Qianye had posted such a formal Weibo post. She did not know how to bring up a topic. After publishing it, Han Qianye heaved a sigh of relief. Now they were just waiting for the public opinion to reverse. She put down her phone in peace and went to wash her face and skincare. Then, she took a beautiful bath. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Two hours later, she picked up her phone and thought that the public opinion online should have reversed, right? In the end, when she opened Weibo, the trending searches were still hanging. There was no sign of public opinion turning around. Han Qianye: ? What happened? Could it be that the video that was so clear was not convincing?! Just as she was filled with doubts, she suddenly received a call from Gao Yueban. Mrs. Pei, when are you going to post that clarification video? The official Weibo account asked me to ask. Theyve been waiting for almost two hours to forward your video. We have to quickly suppress the public opinion. Han Qianye frowned and explained, But I posted the video two hours ago. Why didnt you see it? Gao Yueban was also confused. This Weibo account with the ID Han Qianye has yet to release any videos. See if its saved in the draft box? Han Qianye said, My account name is not Han Qianye. Gao Yueban: ? Gao Yueban, who quickly reacted, asked, Mrs. Pei, did you post it on your alternate account? Han Qianye found it strange. I dont have an alternate account. Its the one I usually use. Gao Yueban immediately understood. No wonder. Then send me your Weibo ID. Ill get the official Weibo account to fish you out. Han Qianye said, Oh, okay. Although she was slow for a few seconds, Han Qianye quickly understood why the clarification video she posted was not popular. It was because the video she clarified was posted on her usual Weibo. She thought that this one shot would be exposed. However, she had forgotten that there were not many fans on this Weibo account. Her ID name had nothing to do with the name Han Qianye. Moreover, there was no topic of Mother-in-Law Joy. It would be strange if she was noticed. She opened WeChat and found Gao Yuebans WeChat. Han Qianye: [ID name: So Beautiful That She Had No Friends.] Gao Yueban: [OK!] After a few seconds, Gao Yueban sent another message: [Is the person with the ID Han Qianye on Weibo your main account?] Han Qianye: [Those accounts on Weibo with the names Han Qianye arent me.] Gao Yueban sent a voice message: [Theres a person called Han Qianye on Weibo. She has more than a hundred thousand fans. Are you sure its not you?] Han Qianye: ? There was someone pretending to be her? There were so many people with the same name in the world. The Weibo name Han Qianye had long been registered by someone else. At that time, she had asked Pei Youan to casually think of an old-fashioned and unpleasant Weibo name for her. It had been used until now. She opened Weibo and searched. She really found a blogger with the ID Han Qianye. She had 130,000 fans and often advertised on Weibo. There were hundreds of comments under each Weibo post. Most of them were asking her if she was really Han Qianye [Is this really Han Qianye?] [Ever since Mother-in-Law Joy started broadcasting, her dozens of fans have now increased to 130,000. She has never directly replied if she is Han Qianye. The key is that she always brings up Mother-in-Law Joys topic on Weibo. Its confusing.] [Isnt Han Qianye a wealthy lady? Why would she advertise and sell these third-rate products?] [Its definitely not Han Qianye. This name was registered early.] This blogger did not reply to everyone and continued to advertise. After Han Qianye finished reading it, she immediately understood that this person had taken advantage of the fact that she had not publicized her Weibo account. She did not admit or deny it and kept everyone in suspense so that they could buy the things in her advertisement. Wait. She would slap her in the face immediately. Han Qianye exited Weibo and sent Director Gao a WeChat message: [Other than me (So Beautiful That She Had No Friends), everything else is not me.] Gao Yueban replied: [The official Weibo account has found you. Hurry up and verify your account.] Han Qianye was very fast. Just as her verification was done, she saw that her fans had increased. And they increased more. So verification could increase fans? When she exited and took a look, she realized that it was Mother-in-Law Joys official Weibo account that had forwarded the clarification Weibo post she had posted two hours ago. Likes and followers rose very quickly. For the first time, Han Qianye realized that she was still quite popular. It could be seen that the number had increased to more than 2,000 and was still rising. There were so many praising comments that she was dazzled. She will look at Weibo tomorrow morning after calming down this public opinion. Hence, Han Qianye turned off her phone and went to sleep in peace. Half an hour later, it was ten-thirty. A post called #Han Qianye personally clarified # appeared on the trending searches. [Forwarding from an official Weibo account. This time, it should be Han Qianye herself without a doubt!] [That fake Han Qianye advertises every day. Im so annoyed by it. Im also worried that if its really her, I havent unfollowed her. Now, I can unfollow the fake Han Qianye in peace.] [Look, that fake Han Qianye has been banned on Weibo.] [Damn liar, you should have been banned long ago. You advertise and sell some third-rate products every day.] [What is clarification? Could it be that Han Qianye personally recorded a video and said that Li Xiwu is not that kind of person? Hahaha] [Li Xiwu is a cold and heartless person. I wonder whats there to clarify.] There were always cynical comments. But none of these people had seen the clarification video. After watching the video, many netizens fell silent. Chapter 183 - 183 Strong Clarification Slaps the Whole Internet 183 Strong Clarification Slaps the Whole Internet [Theyre really spreading rumors now.] [After watching the video, whether it was looking for someone or saving someone, Li Xiwu was the one at the front. Why smear her like this?] [I like Han Qianye to be so stubborn! She protects Sister Li forcefully!] [Brainless and Unhappy are the best!] [Could it be that Sister Li is too popular? Did she block someones path to wealth?] [I almost cried. Especially when Sister Li knew that it would be dangerous, but she still went down to look for Han Qianye without hesitation.] [And the public opinion that Sister Li is trying to scam Mother Dragon. Since the show started, has Sister Li ever mentioned Mother Dragon?] [It cant be helped. Mother-in-Law Joy is just too popular. Sister Li is too popular. Those people are just jealous.] Everyone was feeling indignant for Li Xiwu. Some attentive netizens realized that Han Qianyes ID was very similar to the Weibo ID of the young man who had almost exposed Mother Dragon. Hence, they followed the clues and flipped through Han Qianyes Weibo. Then, they saw Han Qianyes first Weibo post was a selfie of a young man. This selfie actually matched the photos that the young man had posted on Weibo in the past. It was actually the same person! Meanwhile, Qiao Qiao, who was still surfing the Internet late at night, saw a group of netizens who had transformed into famous detectives and kept digging deeper. She felt helpless and speechless. Indeed, people were afraid of being famous. Such a method stripped people clean by eighteen generations of ancestors. She couldnt help but click on the comments section [So that handsome blogger is Han Qianyes son?] [Someone had guessed it a long time ago, especially since both of them liked to play with shoes. They were both in high school, but no one confirmed it at the time.] [I suspect that the cabinet was copied from Mother Dragons cabinet. Actually, theres no connection between the two at all.] [The photos match. If it was some time ago, I would have believed it. Now that Mother Dragon has personally refuted the rumors, my first reaction is that its the same person. Anyway, it has nothing to do with Mother Dragon.] There were hundreds of new comments. Qiao Qiao wanted to call Li Xiwu. But looking at the time, it was past one in the morning. Li Xiwu was already resting at this time. Coupled with the fact that Li Xiwu had recently injured her head, what she needed most was a good rest. She couldnt call in the middle of the night to disturb her. But she couldnt let the netizens slander her after making wild guesses, especially those bad comments. Qiao Qiaos heart ached. Especially that hacker. She was so angry! After thinking for a long time, Qiao Qiao decided to do something. She first hid all the content on her personal Weibo. Then, she began to edit a new Weibo post. A few minutes later. An edited Weibo post was posted on Qiao Qiaos Weibo with the topics #Mother-in-Law Joy# and #MotherDragon. It wasnt enough to just bring up the topic. She gritted her teeth and charged this Weibo post ten thousand yuan for promotion. After charging the promotional fee and checking the Weibo content, she smiled in satisfaction. Its done. C The next day. The first rays of the morning sun shone down. Li Xiwu was woken up by her frequently vibrating phone. Seeing that it was a call from Qiao Qiao, Li Xiwu instantly woke up. She half stood up and was ready to get out of bed at any time. At the same time, she picked up the phone. Qiaoer? Whats wrong? Qiao Qiaos voice was very loud. Han Qianye exposed your Mother Dragons identity! Li Xiwu: ? Li Xiwu was stunned for a long time when she heard Qiao Qiaos words. Probably because what she was worried about and what Qiao Qiao said were two completely different things, her mind instantly froze for dozens of seconds. Qiao Qiao didnt hear Li Xiwus voice. Bae? Are you listening? No, are you awake? Li Xiwu came back to her senses and glanced sideways at the man sleeping beside her. Then, she quietly got out of bed and shuffled to the bathroom in her slippers. She pressed the phone to her ear. What exactly happened? Qiao Qiao replied seriously, I only found out this morning when I saw the trending topic on Weibo. I clicked on it and saw that the name Mother Dragon had appeared on the trending topic. This time, its really true. Theres no need for you to respond personally. Li Xiwu: ? Doubts filled her mind. When did Han Qianye know about her relationship with Mother Dragon? Qiao Qiao seemed to be in a hurry. I cant explain it in a few words. Look at the trending searches yourself. Ill hang up first. Before Qiao Qiao hung up, Li Xiwu called out to her, Qiaoer. Qiao Qiao was anxious to hang up. Im packing my bags for a trip far away. Dont look for it for the time being. She paused for a few seconds. Qiao Qiao added, Dont worry. That outsider with the Qiao family name cant find me for the time being. Ill come back after he leaves the capital. Li Xiwu said, Qiaoer, wait Beep, beep, beep. The line went dead. Li Xiwu took down the phone and saw that Qiao Qiao had hung up. Li Xiwu was a little worried and wanted to call back. At this moment, Weibo suddenly sent her two messages: #Li Xiwu is Mother Dragon, finally confirmed#, #Mother Dragons account was hacked# Li Xiwu looked at the two notifications and pursed her lips in thought. She was curious about the first notification. She understood why Qiao Qiao hung up so quickly. Because only she and Qiao Qiao knew that the account had been hacked, and it was Qiao Qiao who acutely discovered it immediately. Because Qiao Qiao knew Li Xiwu very well, she knew that Li Xiwu wouldnt post such a video on that account at all. Therefore, Qiao Qiao stepped forward to clarify that the account had been hacked. Li Xiwu clicked on #MotherDragons Account Was Hacked# A blogger with a very chuunibyou name, [First Warrior to Tame a Tyrannosaurus], posted a Weibo post. The details are as follows: First Warrior to Tame a Tyrannosaurus V: [1: Let me introduce myself. Im a good friend of Tyrant Dragon (female). You can also call me a Dragon Tamer. One cant do without me in the Jurassic Era. [2: Regarding the online rumor that Mother Dragon posted a video to refute Li Xiwus scam, I swear. Thats not refuteing the rumor. Thats a hacked account. [3: Fighting fakes definitely cant be done with just a few words. I understand this logic, so the following photos are some highlights of the video I filmed with Tyrant Dragon. The photos are evidence. [4: The Tyrant Dragons account is protected by the short video official. I hope the short video official will give us a positive response about the hacking incident. Why didnt they notify us immediately with the phone number of the account when there was an abnormality? [5: Lastly, when the Tyrant Dragons account was established, Mother Dragon only vented some of her regrets in another way. She was indebted to everyones love and received attention. Later on, she released a cooking video, which also made Mother Dragons boring life not so boring. She had more than 16 million fans today. She didnt show her face publicly because she didnt want her private life to be paid too much attention. Thank you for your concern. [6: When people encounter misunderstandings, dont resent them. Things will recover after a harsh winter.] Chapter 184 - 184 Li Xiwu Panicked 184 Li Xiwu Panicked It wasnt particularly long. But it was a particularly formal response. There were six accompanying photos below, but every one of them was stacked. There were at least twenty photos separately. They were all bits and pieces left behind by the two of them taking videos in the small courtyard over the past year. They were very precious. Although none of them had a frontal picture of Li Xiwu. Most of them were backs and side profiles. But in fact, just by looking at the side of her face, it was obvious that it was Li Xiwus outline. [I thought it was another scammer. He made it sound so convincing until I clicked on the picture] [I admit that I barked a little louder with the dog this time. Im sorry, Mother Dragon. Im sorry, Li Xiwu.] [Get this Weibo topic to trend. I cant let everyone scold Li Xiwu anymore. My heart hurts.] [This is a true refutation!] [I was wondering why an unrelated video appeared in Mother Dragons account for no reason. In my heart, Mother Dragon is a person who cooks so meticulously. Its impossible for her to casually post a video and not say anything to pretend that its a rumor.] [Its clearly a diversion.] [Li Xiwu has really been criticized too badly this time. I feel like someone is targeting her.] [If Mother Dragon stops updating in the future, everyone here will not be able to escape responsibility.] [Mother Dragon hasnt updated a video for a long time. Im so flustered.] Rather than saying that Han Qianye had exposed her identity as Mother Dragon, it was more like Qiao Qiao had written a small essay in the middle of the night, confirming that Li Xiwu was the real Mother Dragon. And Li Xiwu quickly accepted this fact. It wasnt the only way to calm public opinion, but it was definitely the most effective and fastest way. Now, the trending topic on Weibo was #MotherDragonLiXiwu. The public opinion had also completely reversed. There were also some netizens who were actively speaking about the hacking: [When will the officials come out to explain? The official protected account has actually been hacked. Arent you going to come out and give an explanation?] [Could it be a hacker? Is a hacker really that powerful?] [I just want to know if Mother Dragons account has been found. Can we still see Mother Dragon update videos in the future?] [Although your name is Li Xiwu, I still have to call you Mom. Allow me to urge you to update a little, my mother~] Some netizens said: [I dont have to wait for Brother-in-law to take off his mask anymore. Its finally confirmed!] [Last time, her brother-in-law was an accident. I feel that Brainless is also an accident this time. She probably doesnt even know that her daughter-in-law is an internet celebrity.] [Haha, for some reason, I really want to see Brainlesss dumbfounded expression when she finds out the truth.] [I have to say that Li Xiwu is really low-key. She has 16 million fans in the short video, and shes the most influential Internet celebrity in the short video. She actually didnt show off on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show!] [Mother Dragon has long said that someone filmed the video. She didnt complete it alone. So shes also a big sister.] She exited the comments section. She exited Weibo. Li Xiwu composed a WeChat message and sent it to Qiao Qiao: [Qiaoer, youve worked hard.] After sending the WeChat message, she came out of the bathroom. Pei Jingzhou had already woken up. At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa at the end of the bed, looking at something with an ultra-thin tablet in his hand. When he heard the voice, he looked up at her and said gently, Honey, come here. The way he called her was intimate and affectionate. Li Xiwu was silent for a few seconds before walking over and sitting down beside Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou handed her the tablet in his hand. Ive already found out about the hack. Take a look first. After experiencing Pei Jingzhous efficiency and speed countless times, Li Xiwu was not surprised that he was also very fast this time. She took the tablet and studied it. Pei Jingzhous voice came from beside her. The ability of a high-level technician is not considered a hacker, but he has his own special methods. His IP address is also in the capital. Were still tracking him. After Li Xiwu finished watching, she was calm and composed. The address of the video is in Country T, but shes in the capital. That means the video was taken in the past. Could it be to guide something? Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways and looked at her seriously. What do you think its guiding? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. I dont know. Only Li Xiwu knew if she didnt know or didnt want to talk to Pei Jingzhou about this topic. Buzz. A WeChat notification sounded. It was a WeChat message from Qiao Qiao. Li Xiwu clicked on the voice message and put it to her ear. Qiao Qiaos voice came from the receiver. [Im not working hard. My life is hard.] Although the voice came from the receiver, the bedroom was quiet. She and Pei Jingzhou were close, so Pei Jingzhou could hear Qiao Qiaos voice. Li Xiwu was about to type a reply when Qiao Qiao sent another voice message. She thought Qiao Qiao was talking about herself. She opened it and heard: [I heard your throat go hoarse when you answered the phone just now. Its just as you said. Boss Pei is very impressive. Quickly recuperate. Dont be too tired during your recuperation. Restrain yourself a little. Also, dont worry about me. Its really fine.] Li Xiwu: She silently took down her phone. She glanced sideways and saw Pei Jingzhous deep eyes looking at her. Li Xiwus ears heated up. Actually, after fooling around yesterday afternoon, Pei Jingzhou was very humane at night. A large part of the reason why her voice was hoarse was because she had just woken up. Qiao Qiao usually teased her like this. But today, Pei Jingzhou happened to be beside her. She was about to get up silently when Pei Jingzhous smiling voice sounded. You said Im very impressive? Li Xiwu stiffened in her seat. She recalled the day she misunderstood Pei Jingzhou and Xue Jinzhu at the hotel. When she told Qiao Qiao on the phone that she wanted a divorce, she did say that Pei Jingzhou was very impressive. Pei Jingzhou pulled her back to sit down and wrapped his arm around her waist. Why dont you say this to me again? Li Xiwu drew a breath. Then, she slowly glanced sideways and said calmly, Fourth Brother, that was a joke I said to Qiao Qiao. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. A joke? Li Xiwu said, Yeah. Pei Jingzhou said slowly, So youre acting most of the time? Li Xiwu: This question was a hot potato in itself. If she dared to say that she was acting, how could Pei Jingzhou let her off when she recovered? If she said no, what she said just now was too much of a slap in the face. But compared to slapping her face, she was more afraid of her back aching from the torment. Forget it. There were certain benefits to giving in appropriately. One would suffer if one was stubborn. Pei Jingzhou leaned over. Is it difficult to answer? Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Fourth Brother Pei Jingzhou: Yeah? Li Xiwu closed her eyes hard. Fourth Brother, youre very impressive. Pei Jingzhou was shameless. How impressive? Li Xiwus almond-shaped eyes widened slightly as she gritted her molars. Very! Impressive! Chapter 185 - 185 Han Qianye: Im Super Happy, Okay! 185 Han Qianye: Im Super Happy, Okay! Not all men liked to hear others praise them. He just liked to hear his woman praise himself even more. The psychological sense of accomplishment and satisfaction was incomparable. Li Xiwu looked at the endless smile in Pei Jingzhous eyes. For some reason, she suddenly thought of something and said, Fourth Brother, I remember you saying that if I want to ask you anything, you will answer as long as I ask. With that, the smile on Pei Jingzhous face faded. Li Xiwu smiled. Did Fourth Brother go back on his word? Pei Jingzhou looked down at her. What do you want to ask? Li Xiwu looked serious. I was very curious about my past, but because it was all not a good experience, I gradually forgot a lot. Pei Jingzhou asked, So you want to ask about your past? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Im someone who lives at the bottom, and Fourth Brother is someone who stands at the top of the pyramid. The difference between heaven and earth is so great that you leave me in the dust. Therefore, before you came into contact with and married me, you must have investigated me in detail. If my identity and background are too complicated, I probably wont be able to marry into the Pei family. She had always been clear about her identity. She had always known the difference in status between him and her. Therefore, even if she got a divorce, she only wanted to get some money to settle down in the future. She had never thought of getting any shocking benefits from Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou looked at her quietly. Li Xiwu avoided his gaze and continued, Back then, Fourth Brother said that my memory was bad. Now that I think about it, that seems to be the case. Fourth Brother has investigated my background in the past, so you should know my past very well. Therefore, I want to ask Fourth Brother, did you find out that my family came back to look for me? She waited for Pei Jingzhous answer. Pei Jingzhou also stared at her for a long time. His thin lips parted slightly. Im your family. I found you and brought you home. Li Xiwus breath caught in her throat. For a few seconds, she felt that there was no illusion in front of her. Pei Jingzhou was not joking or lying to her. A few seconds later, she sobered and smiled. Fourth Brother, your words dont count. Pei Jingzhous thoughtful expression made it impossible to tell what he was thinking. Li Xiwu knew that this question would not get the answer she wanted, so she changed the question. Then is there a connection between Li You and me? Pei Jingzhou looked up. Li Xiwu added in advance, Apart from the fact that I look like her, I know that. Im asking if theres any other connection. Pei Jingzhou was silent for a moment before saying, Your surname is Li. Li Xiwu: Although the answer sounded fine, it wasnt the answer shed expected. She couldnt be bothered to ask anymore. She got up and went out. Meanwhile, Han Qianye, who had woken up early in the morning to browse Weibo, was almost stunned. Xixi is actually that Internet celebrity, Mother Dragon??? More than sixteen million fans! I didnt even know! Han Qianyes shocked voice made it difficult for Pei Jiao to not ignore it. Pei Jiao bit her lollipop and said, Mom, its normal that you dont know. Youve never paid attention to Peripheral Lis surroundings in the past three years. Han Qianye corrected her. What Peripheral Li? I already said that you have to call her Sister-in-law. Pei Jiao said, Sister-in-law. Han Qianye smiled in satisfaction. Yes, you have to call her Sister-in-law in the future. If I hear you call her Peripheral Li again, Ill deduct your monthly allowance. Pei Jiao suddenly sat up straight. Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law. She practiced repeatedly, afraid that she would shout the wrong word next time. Han Qianye corrected her again. You dont have to do it four times. It sounds too fierce, as if youre shouting. The first three times are enough. Thinking of her pocket money, Pei Jiao smiled. Okay. Han Qianye turned around and quickly opened the short video software. She found Mother Dragons account and followed it without hesitation. At the thought that she was Mother Dragons mother-in-law, Han Qianye felt extremely proud. Ahhhh, shes actually the mother-in-law of the Internet celebrity, Mother Dragon! Im super happy, okay! Im happier than I was on our wedding day! Right! She wanted to take a screenshot and post it on her Moments!!! Less than two minutes after she finished editing the content and posted it on her WeChat Moments, many rich ladies in the circle of aristocratic families had already liked it. The comments were all flattering words, but Han Qianye was used to hearing flattery. She felt even better. C At this moment, Qiao Qiao, who was about to go to the airport, was suddenly stopped by a taxi. The driver had never seen much of a scene. When he realized that his car had been outflanked, he was so frightened that his face turned green and his lips turned pale. In just a few dozen seconds, he recalled everyone he had ever provoked in his life. Until the Ghost overbearingly stopped in front of him. The driver slammed on the brakes and broke out in a cold sweat. I-I-I-I-I-I-I have offended some god. Miss, I might not be able to send you. If youre not afraid, please help me. Ill call the police later. Qiao Qiao, who was sitting in the back seat, stammered even more than the driver. I-I-Ill help you call the police. Can-can-can you call the police for me too? The driver turned around. Why are you stuttering? Qiao Qiao: The next second, the car door was pulled open from the outside. A man in a black suit and black sunglasses extended an inviting gesture. Miss, Third Master invites you. Qiao Qiao swallowed and straightened her neck. Its fine to invite me. But is there a need to make such a big fuss! Scary! The bodyguard nodded. Third Master said it was necessary. Otherwise, he wouldnt have been able to invite Miss back. When the driver saw that they were coming for the passenger in the back seat, although he was also afraid, he gathered his courage and said, Young lady, if youre threatened, blink. The bodyguard glanced over coldly. The driver shivered in fear and instinctively raised his hands in surrender. I didnt say anything. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. In the end, she resigned herself to fate and got out of the car. The bodyguard pointed to the Ghost ahead. After you, miss. Qiao Qiao put her hands on her hips. Hurry up and pay the fare. I havent paid the fare yet. The driver quickly said, No need, no need. Take it as a donation. Despite his words, the bodyguard pulled out his phone and reached into the car. Give me the QR code. The driver handed over the QR code with trepidation. After scanning the code and paying, the bodyguard gestured again. Qiao Qiao stood still. The suitcase is still in the trunk. Help me take it down. The bodyguard nodded. Yes, Miss. When the bodyguard went to get the suitcase, Qiao Qiao turned around and ran. However, before she could take more than two steps, the bodyguard returned and grabbed her collar. Miss, please dont make things difficult for me. Finally, the bodyguard pushed Qiao Qiaos suitcase with one hand and gripped her arm with the other as he walked her to the Ghost. The automatic door slowly opened. The bodyguard leaned over and nodded. Third Master, Miss is here. Chapter 186 - 186 Abuse Her On Sight 186 Abuse Her On Sight It had been a long time since Qiao Qiao had seen Qiao Jingmo so close. In her impression, this man was arbitrary, domineering, and inhumane. He was like the King of Hell that everyone avoided. Get in the car. The mans slightly cold voice came from the car, indicating his impatience. Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth and nimbly climbed into the car. Unexpectedly, she used too much strength when she got into the car and pounced on Qiao Jingmos lap. Her face even went straight to an indescribable place. Fortunately, Qiao Jingmo reached out quickly and pressed her head back into the seat. He frowned. Its been three years since we last met, but youre still so rash. Theres no need to stick to me when youre bowing. Qiao Qiao swayed, dizzy. She rubbed her head and looked up. In front of her was Qiao Jingmos handsome profile. Although it had been a long time since she had seen him up close like this, there was no denying that this man was as good-looking as ever. In his early thirties, time had not left a mark on his face. Instead, he was becoming more and more charming. However, this incomparably handsome mans cold face was filled with impatience. Qiao Qiao snorted, her expression even more impatient than Qiao Jingmos. Shao Jingmo, who wants to bow to you? Do you think youre the emperor of ancient times? Also, dont think that just because you have the surname of the Qiao family, youre really a member of the Qiao family, that youre my uncle. Let me tell you, your surname is Shao. Your surname will always be Shao! Qiao Jingmo replied casually, Whether I have the surname Qiao or not, Im still your uncle. Qiao Qiao choked. Although it was not wrong. Qiao Jingmos father and her grandfather were comrades. In terms of seniority, Qiao Jingmo was an uncle. But! She wouldnt call Qiao Jingmo Uncle! Calling him uncle was equivalent to acknowledging his existence in the Qiao family. She would never call him that. The bodyguard was about to put the suitcase in the trunk when Qiao Qiao shouted, Wait a minute. Give me back my suitcase. The bodyguard reminded her, Miss, you cant put suitcases in the front. Qiao Qiao tried her best to show her unreasonable side. Theres something very important in my suitcase. It has to be under my nose at all times for me to be at ease. Then she paused. Glancing sideways at Qiao Jingmos expression, she gathered her courage. I dont care anyway. Either I get out of the car and you stuff me in the trunk with the suitcase, or put the suitcase in front. She wondered if Qiao Jingmo would compromise. And Qiao Jingmo did not disappoint her. He said, Put her in the trunk with the suitcase. Qiao Qiao: ? The bodyguard obeyed Qiao Jingmo and gestured for her to enter. Miss, please get into the trunk. Qiao Qiao: At this moment, Qiao Qiao thought that if she lost a few decades of her life, she must have been killed by Qiao Jingmo. If she lost a few years of her life, she must have been angered to death by Qiao Jingmo. She began the usual method in the Qiao family. She made a scene I dont want it! I dont want it! I havent been back in three years. Three years of ignoring me and you abused me on sight. Shao Jingmo! Doesnt your conscience hurt?! Qiao Jingmos thin lips moved as he shouted in a low voice, Qiao Guigui! Qiao Qiao immediately restrained her loud voice. Qiao Jingmo glanced sideways and reminded her coldly, Your grandfather gave you the word Gui because he wanted you to be a quiet and beautiful woman, not as vulgar as you are now. Qiao Qiaos lips pressed down. The next second, the automatic door closed. Qiao Qiao didnt say another word as the car drove. Anyway, shed made a fuss and argued. Shed made enough of a scene, but it didnt help. Instead, it made her look like a person who had just escaped from a mental hospital. Never mind. After all, she was twenty-four years old. She still had to care about her image. The car arrived at Shengshi Hotel. The automatic door opened. After Qiao Qiao got out of the car, she stretched. Before she could feel comfortable, the bodyguard who had silently appeared behind her suddenly said, Miss, please follow Third Master in. Qiao Qiao patted her chest. You almost scared me to death. The bodyguard was very sorry. Im sorry, Miss. Qiao Qiao asked, Whats your name? The bodyguard answered truthfully, Jing Cheng. Qiao Qiao grinned. Ill remember you. Ill tell Shao Jingmo later that you molested me and fired you. The bodyguard smiled without saying anything. Miss, Jing Cheng is my nickname. Third Master usually calls me by my code name. Qiao Qiao: She unwillingly followed Qiao Jingmo into the hotel. The suite was a large presidential suite. Qiao Qiao only dawdled outside for a moment before entering and not seeing Qiao Jingmo again. She walked around and scolded Qiao Jingmo in her heart. Aggrieved was really aggrieved. But she was secretly happy. However, after cursing, she sighed and thought about how to slip away from Qiao Jingmo. There was that bodyguard guarding outside who could pick her up with one hand. Challenging was impossible unless she jumped off a building. She went to the window to take a look. Good God, the eighteenth floor. She would definitely die young if she jumped down. No, she did not have many children and grandchildren yet. At this moment, Qiao Jingmos voice came from behind. If you wanted to suicide, its not recommended to jump off a building. Jumping off a building is equivalent to throwing things from a height. Its fine if you die, but if youre half-dead, you still have to be sentenced. Qiao Qiao: She turned around. Qiao Jingmo was standing on the other side of her in the waffle-patterned bathrobe the hotel had provided. The bathrobes collar was wide open. Other than his solid body, his abdominal muscles were vaguely visible. As far as she knew, men in their early thirties began to have small bellies, then developed them until they became increasingly greasy. Qiao Jingmo actually had abs. It seemed that he was usually very disciplined. Qiao Jingmo looked at her. Did you see it carefully? Do you need me to untie it for you to see? Qiao Qiao came back to her senses. Pervert! Qiao Jingmo smiled. Whoevers the pervert knows best. Qiao Qiao: Qiao Jingmo pulled down the curtain on the wall and picked up the tablet on the coffee table. He connected to Old Master Qiao in Xingzhou and clicked on the projection. Old Master Qiaos face appeared on the curtain. Seeing this long-lost face, Qiao Qiao had mixed feelings. She had loved her grandfather the most since she was young and respected him the most. She could understand that her grandfather had adopted Shao Jingmo, and she could understand that her grandfather had given Shao Jingmo the surname of the Qiao family because Shao Jingmo was an orphan. His father, mother, and two brothers had died for the country. But she couldnt understand why her grandfather had handed the entire Qiao family to Qiao Jingmo. She had quietly asked around if it was possible that Qiao Jingmos parents and brothers death was related to Grandpa. Grandpa only did this because he felt guilty. In the end, it had nothing to do with him. He simply felt that Shao Jingmo was more capable of managing the Qiao family, which made Qiao Qiao very unconvinced. Although her father was not good, she had the ambition of a swan. She was extremely distracted when she heard Qiao Jingmos voice. Guigui! Chapter 187 - 187 Then She May Be Near Death 187 Then She May Be Near Death Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and looked up. She didnt know if it was her imagination, but at this moment, she actually felt that Qiao Jingmo looked very gentle. Sure enough, she had seen a ghost. The next second, Qiao Jingmo reminded her coldly, Come here and greet Grandpa. Qiao Qiao was unconvinced by Qiao Jingmos appearance. But what could she do? She couldnt beat him. She could retort but didnt dare to. She could only obediently go over and greet the old man who appeared on the screen. Grandpa. Old Master Qiao looked at his granddaughter, whom he had not seen for three years, and his smile was as bright as a childs. Little Guigui. Qiao Qiao looked at the old man. How has Grandpa been? Mom said that Grandpa was in good health and would have no problem living to a hundred years old, but why did he look so haggard on the curtain? Old Master Qiao was filled with relief. Very good. I had a good life. I just miss my Guigui. Qiao Qiao pressed her lips together. I miss Grandpa too. With that, she glanced at the calm Qiao Jingmo beside her. Qiao Jingmo sensed her gaze and looked over. Their eyes met. Qiao Qiao looked away as if shed been caught. When Old Master Qiao saw this scene, he shouted, Jingmo. Qiao Jingmo replied, Yes. Old Master Qiao said, Take good care of Guigui in the capital. Qiao Jingmo nodded. Yes. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Who needs him to take care of me? Didnt I survive alone for the past three years? What a joke. Qiao Jingmo taking care of her? She didnt even know how she died. Now, they were still in harmony in front of her grandfather. When the video was uploaded, he might give her a cold look. Old Master Qiao reminded Qiao Qiao, Guigui, you have to listen to Jingmo. Grandpa will wait for you to come back. Qiao Qiao agreed obediently. Okay. Old Master Qiao said, Grandpa misses you. Qiao Qiao felt a lump in her throat. I miss Grandpa too. As soon as the video ended, Qiao Qiao took a while to calm down. After calming down, she asked Qiao Jingmo, When can I leave? Qiao Jingmo said coldly, Youll stay here for the time being. Qiao Qiaos eyes widened. Live here with you? Qiao Jingmos lips curled up. Who do you want to be with? Qiao Qiao asked, Then you came to the capital to take me back to Xingzhou, right? Qiao Jingmo said, So you know. Qiao Qiao turned sideways and frowned. But I didnt say I was going back to Xingzhou. Not only had she not said anything about returning to Xingzhou, but she had also not thought about returning to Xingzhou. It was good to live here. She liked her life now. Qiao Jingmo raised his hand and grabbed Qiao Qiaos shoulder, turning her around. Cant you tell that Grandpa misses you? Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing. How could she not tell? When the old man saw her in the video just now, his eyes turned red. Qiao Jingmo let go of her shoulder. I have something to discuss in the capital. Ill stay for five days. Come back to Xingzhou with me in five days. Qiao Qiao did not refute Qiao Jingmos decision. Except, she tried to fight for it. Can I go back to my own place for the next five days? She wasnt going to live with this demon. What if he couldnt sleep one night and thought about what she had done back then and wanted to kill her? At that time, she might visit Hell when she sleeps. However, Qiao Jingmo did not agree. No, you have to be under my nose. Qiao Qiao was annoyed. Then why didnt you chain me to your belt!! Qiao Jingmo smiled and did not reply. Qiao Qiaos pretty face was ugly. I dont care. I have human rights and freedoms anyway. You cant stare at me for the rest of my life! The words rest of my life made Qiao Jingmos eyes flash, then disappear so quickly that no one could notice the fluctuation in his eyes. His dark eyes looked at Qiao Qiao and he said calmly, What would you do if I really stared at you for the rest of your life? Without thinking, Qiao Qiao spat out, Ill die! Qiao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Is it that serious? Qiao Qiao said firmly, Yes! Qiao Jingmo said, Then you might not be far from death. Qiao Qiao choked. She didnt dare to refute. If she had a handkerchief in her hand, she would have bitten it hard and cursed Qiao Jingmo thousands of times in her heart. That night. The official announcement of the short video apologized to Li Xiwu in person. It was probably because of the negligence of the backstage personnel that the account was hacked. Because the other party was too professional, the officials could not give a very detailed explanation, but they sincerely admitted all their mistakes. They also promised that this would never happen again. [Mother Dragons influence is indeed huge. The officials of the short video are really afraid of offending Mother Dragon.] [If Mother Dragon is calculative, she will definitely change the platform. When the time comes, it will be too late for the officials to cry.] [Did everyone see that? After Mother Dragons identity was confirmed, Mother-in-Law Joys official fan base increased by 500,000 overnight.] [This is great. After confirming her identity, no one will dare to smear Li Xiwu again.] [The rain has finally passed.] Qiao Qiao was very relieved to read the comments. She thought that she had finally settled this matter. As she watched, Li Xiwu suddenly called her. The smile on Qiao Qiaos lips froze. She looked up and bumped into Qiao Jingmo, who was looking at her. Qiao Qiao slowly got up and wanted to go to the terrace to answer the phone. Qiao Jingmo said calmly, Is there anything I cant hear? Qiao Qiao straightened her back. Are you sure you can listen to racy words? Qiao Jingmo: In the blink of an eye, Qiao Qiao was on the patio of the suite. Li Xiwus voice came from the other end. Qiaoer. Qiao Qiao wanted to speak in a cheerful tone so that Li Xiwu wouldnt notice anything, but she couldnt stop herself. Bae Li Xiwu had been worried that something would happen to Qiao Qiao. Hearing Qiao Qiaos low tone, her heart sank. Where are you? Qiao Qiao said, By Qiao Jingmos side. Li Xiwus entire heart rose. Did he lock you up? Qiao Qiao didnt want Li Xiwu to worry too much. No, hes just here to take me back to Xingzhou. Grandpa misses me. Li Xiwu was very meticulous and guessed a little. He should have imprisoned your freedom now, right? Qiao Qiao: Li Xiwu said, Send me your location. Qiao Qiao had mixed feelings. Dont worry, Im really fine. This time, Grandpa asked Qiao Jingmo to pick me up and bring me back to Xingzhou. Grandpa hasnt seen me yet, so he wont do anything to me. Li Xiwu immediately understood that Qiao Qiao wouldnt tell her. However, Li Xiwu had also seriously analyzed that Qiao Jingmo didnt hurt Qiao Qiao much. If Qiao Jingmo really couldnt tolerate Qiao Qiaos existence, he would have attacked her when she left home back then. Why wait until three years later to take Qiao Qiao home? Unless Qiao Jingmo had never thought of doing anything to Qiao Qiao. It was just that Qiao Qiao was too guilty, so she would always imagine that Qiao Jingmo wanted to take revenge on her. Changing the subject, she mentioned, About the clarification matter Chapter 188 - 188 Li Xiwu Will Go to the Li Mansion 188 Li Xiwu Will Go to the Li Mansion Qiao Qiao asked carefully, Are you very angry? Li Xiwu asked, Why do you think so? Qiao Qiao recalled. You said you wouldnt expose it, but I dug out everything about you. Li Xiwus voice was laced with amusement. But its out in the open now. Qiao Qiao lowered her voice. Im sorry, Bae. I posted those contents without consulting you. With that, Li Xiwu smiled gently and said, Qiaoer, thank you. Qiao Qiao was stunned. Huh? Li Xiwu repeated firmly, Thank you. Qiao Qiao was a little confused by Li Xiwus thanks. Thank you? Bae, arent you angry? Li Xiwu: Why should I be angry? On the contrary, Im very happy. You were the one who stayed up late to make a complete clarification on Weibo to counter those public opinions. As soon as she finished speaking, she paused and reminded her, But its not right to stay up late in the middle of the night. Qiao Qiao remembered that she had only slept for half the night last night. It had taken more than two hours to complete the clarification and careful words she had sent. Knowing that Li Xiwu was not angry, Qiao Qiao chuckled. Okay, I wont stay up late anymore. Just as she finished speaking, Qiao Jingmos voice came from behind. Qiao Guigui! Qiao Qiao was shocked. She quickly covered her phone and said to Li Xiwu, Bae, Im hanging up. Send me a WeChat message if theres something on. Then, she immediately hung up. Li Xiwu: If she hadnt heard wrongly, the voice on the other end of the line should be Qiao Jingmo. She knew Qiao Qiaos nickname. Could it be that Qiao Jingmo usually called Qiao Qiao by this nickname? C After resting for three days. Mother-in-Law Joy would welcome the fourth episode. Everyone had already received the directors message in the group chat. This time, they did not have to gather in Fu Town. Every group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would go out alone. However, it was not as simple as going out alone. There was also a mission card. In order to ensure that tomorrows live broadcast went smoothly, the director announced tomorrows mission in the group. After Li Xiwu finished reading the contents of the mission, in summary, each group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law checked four very memorable places in the capital. There was a special notification below. The so-called memorial significance was not referring to places like parks, amusement parks, and seas of flowers. Instead, it was referring to some places where celebrities, heroic deeds, and political deeds were considered memorial. Every time they clock in, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will take a photo together. It was not until they had clocked in four places that they completed the mission successfully. There was also an important rule. Where other guests had finished clocking in, the other group of guests could not clock in a second time. For example, the first group was about to go to a place halfway, but when they received the notice that they had been successfully clocked in by the second group, the first group would have to turn around and change to another place. Otherwise, if the places were overlapped, the mission would be completed easily. There was no challenge at all. At this moment, the director sent a message in the group chat Gao Yueban: [Everyone, you can start searching for the place youre going to clock in tomorrow. I suggest you search for a few more. In case youre clocked in by other guests midway, you have to change your destination in time. That way, you can complete the mission as soon as possible.] Soon, Yu Jing posted another message: [The main purpose of this episode is still positive energy. Because every time we go to a memorable place, the audience will gain more positive values.] Gao Yueban: [Some places require an appointment to enter. The production team will communicate immediately. If you still cant enter, you can only change places.] People were already replying in the group chat: [Got it.] Li Xiwu also typed a reply: [Got it.] Taking advantage of the time in the afternoon, Li Xiwu planned to visit Ji Weiling on set. Buzz. Buzz. Just as she was about to put away her phone, she received another notification on WeChat. It was a WeChat message from Han Qianye. Han Qianye: [You dont have to worry. I can search more than twenty places. I guarantee that well complete the mission smoothly tomorrow.] Li Xiwu replied: [Okay.] It showed that the other party was typing. Li Xiwu was in no hurry to put away her phone and waited for a moment. Soon, Han Qianye sent a voice message: [Are your injuries better? Does your head still hurt? Tonight Yes, tonight Do you have time to come back to the Pei residence for dinner?] There was a long pause between these words. Han Qianye was probably very nervous. Afraid that Li Xiwu would refuse, she hesitated for a long time before asking. Li Xiwu typed a reply. Before she could send it, Han Qianye sent another WeChat message: [If you dont have time, you can wait until the recording of the variety show is over. I was just asking.] Li Xiwu suppressed the smile on her lips and deleted the two words she had just typed. Then, she sent a voice message: [If I have time tonight, Ill return to the Pei residence before five-thirty.] Meanwhile, after hearing this voice message, Han Qianye was so happy that she spun around. Pei Jiao, who passed by the living room, said casually, Mom, people at this age will more or less have osteoporosis. Stay calm. Han Qianye: At this age? Osteoporosis? Calm? Very good! Han Qianye said, Ill deduct your allowance for next month. Pei Jiao stopped in her tracks and turned around in disbelief. Mom? I was just reminding you out of kindness. Why did you deduct my pocket money again? Could it be that her mother knew that she had just gotten five million yuan from the God of Fortune? So she kept talking about deducting her pocket money! That wont do! She had to get the five million yuan! Her pocket money could not be deducted either! Pei Jiao immediately put on a fawning smile and walked to Han Qianye. My beautiful, elegant, and gentle mother~ Han Qianye said, Say more if you know. Hence, Pei Jiao began to praise her mother crazily. As she praised her, she cursed her foul mouth. She clearly felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said every time, but every time she said it, her mother would be angry. In the end, Pei Jiao praised her until her mouth was dry. Only then did Han Qianye take back her words about deducting next months pocket money. She pulled Pei Jiao to sit down. Theres a new mission for tomorrows recording. I have to clock in four places that are very memorable. Celebrities, heroes, political history, and so on. Help me plan dozens of them. Pei Jiao said, This is another price. Did you fall into a money pit! As soon as she finished speaking, Han Qianyes phone vibrated. She opened it and saw that it was a WeChat message from Director Gao. Gao Yueban said, Mrs. Pei, this is a selection of 16 places. It meets our program mission this time and is also a place rarely visited. Take a look first. After reading the WeChat message from Gao Yueban, Han Qianye immediately understood that Director Gao was pulling strings for her. As much as she wanted to say it was unethical to go through the back door, if she was the one whos going through it, shed pretend she hadnt said anything. Han Qianye quickly copied it. As she copied, she looked only at the front and back, ignoring the middle. There was a place in the middle that she had ignored called Qiang Yue Gardens Li Mansion. Chapter 189 - 189 Was It A Deliberate Arrangement, Or Was It A Coincidence? 189 Was It A Deliberate Arrangement, Or Was It A Coincidence? After Han Qianye copied it and sent it to her phone, she quickly forwarded it to Li Xiwu. Perfect. Now thats efficiency. Xixi will definitely praise me. Han Qianye was in a good mood. She raised her hand and touched Pei Jiaos head. Be good. Mom will give you an additional 500,000 yuan as pocket money next month. Pei Jiaos eyes lit up like light bulbs when she heard that she would add 500,000 yuan to her pocket money. Mom, itll be great if youre in such a good mood every day. Han Qianye said, I was just joking. Pei Jiao was speechless. C At this moment, Li Xiwu drove to Ji Weilings production team. Before she arrived, she sent her assistant Yuanyuan a WeChat message in advance. When she arrived, Yuanyuan was already waiting for her outside the set. Miss Li! Yuanyuan jogged over. Li Xiwu locked the car and smiled at Yuanyuan, who was nearby. At this moment, a WeChat notification came from her phone. Li Xiwu took out her phone and looked at it. It was a WeChat message from Han Qianye. There were two. The first was the places Han Qianye had listed to check in tomorrow. There were about ten to twenty places, and Li Xiwu had an impression of several of them, such as a martyrs memorial hall, a famous copper box hall, and the home of a famous person. There were too many. Li Xiwu only took a cursory look. Han Qianye sent a message: [Xixi, Ive listed them all. It took me a long time to find them. Aiyo, it took alot for me to find them one by one.] Li Xiwu sent a voice message: [Youve worked hard.] Han Qianye seemed to be waiting for her reply and immediately replied with a very cute emoji. Yuanyuan walked over and saw Li Xiwu smiling. Miss Li, did you encounter something happy? Li Xiwu looked up. Hmm? Yuanyuan pointed at Li Xiwus face. Miss Li, dont you realize that youre smiling? It would have been better if she hadnt said anything. But once she did, the smile on Li Xiwus face froze. Then, she quickly regained her usual coldness. Is Weiling filming? Yuanyuan nodded. Yes, shes filming. She has a lot of scenes with the male lead today. Li Xiwu nodded. Just as she was about to stop the phone, she saw something from the corner of her eye. Stunned, she picked up the phone and took a closer look. Qiang Yue Garden, Li Mansion. If she remembered correctly, the last time Madam Di Xin asked her to meet her at Qiong Pavilion, she had suggested taking her to Qiang Yue Gardens Li Mansion. As for why she wanted to go there, she did not take it to heart at that time. Now, there was actually another chance to go to the Li Mansion. Was it a deliberate arrangement or a coincidence? Seeing that Li Xiwu was staring at her phone in a daze, Yuanyuan waved her hand and shouted, Miss Li? Li Xiwu looked up. Hmm? Yuanyuan asked, Miss Li, what are you looking at? Li Xiwu put away her phone. Nothing. Lets go in. Yuanyuan nodded and walked beside Li Xiwu. They walked in silence. This time, Li Xiwu noticed that Yuanyuna looked like she had something on her mind. Li Xiwu casually asked, Has Weilings acting skills improved recently? Yuanyuan came back to her senses and quickly replied, Yes, shes improved a lot. Li Xiwu teased, Previously, you were even more worried about Weilings acting skills than me. Now that Weilings acting skills are better, why do you look so unhappy? Yuanyuan paused. Then, she turned to look at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu also stopped in her tracks. Being stared at by Yuanyuan, she quickly guessed, Did something happen at home? Yuanyuan shook her head. Li Xiwu said, Personal matters? Yuanyuan still shook her head. This time, she even sighed and wanted to say something. In the end, she said, Its Sister Weiling Chapter 190 - 190 In The End, She Would Still Let Li Xiwu Down (1) 190 In The End, She Would Still Let Li Xiwu Down (1) Li Xiwu looked around and said, There are too many people. Come back to the car with me first. Yuanyuan nodded. Okay. A few minutes later, Yuanyuan got into Li Xiwus car. Li Xiwu, who was sitting at the side, said calmly, Say what you want to say. Yuanyuan took a deep breath before she dared to say, Miss Li, I admit my mistake first. I didnt tell you about this immediately. Li Xiwu could tell from Yuanyuans tone that it was serious. Speak first. Yuanyuan said, Recently, Sister Weiling and Qi Zishen have been very close. After pausing for a few seconds, Yuanyuan quickly waved her hand. Its not that theyre close because of the characters in the film. I know about filming, but theyre also close outside the film. Li Xiwu frowned. Such as? Yuanyuan: For example, in the production team, Qi Zishen would order a portion of food for Sister Weiling. This is actually nothing. From the outside, it looks like Qi Zishen took good care of Sister Weiling. However, that day, I realized that Qi Zishen had tied the scarf he had worn around Sister Weilings neck. The two of them even had a cup of milk tea and the same straw, especially last night After Sister Weiling finished work, she asked me to leave first. I was careful at that time, then I realized that Sister Weiling had gotten into Qi Zishens van and was almost photographed by the fans waiting outside Yuanyuans face was full of trepidation as she said the last sentence. Li Xiwu said nothing. She pursed her lips in silence. Yuanyuan sighed and continued, Under Miss Lis influence, I understand that the entertainment industry is like entertainment for the rich. However, for someone like Sister Weiling, who has struggled to climb up the ladder, she will face temptation and traps at any time. Although Qi Zishen has a good image outside, hes a very playful person in private. Everyone in the industry knows that. Im worried about Sister Weiling. Qi Zishen was Hua Guans number one male celebrity. Not only was his status stable, but his popularity had also always been stable. Ever since he signed with Hua Guan, he had earned a lot of money for Hua Guan. However, in the past two years, the newcomers had been making a name for themselves. Like Miao Zhiyi, Qi Zishen was preparing to transition. Li Xiwu lowered her eyes. You were right to worry. Yuanyuan asked anxiously, Then how should I persuade Sister Weiling to wake up? Li Xiwu looked out of the car window. Weiling has always been very sober, but no matter how sober a girl is, she cant withstand the temptation of love, especially a girl who has never been raised in riches physically or mentally. When facing a boy, she can easily fall for him. Yuanyuan nodded. Thats right. Ever since this drama started production, Qi Zishen has been expressing goodwill to Sister Weiling, intentionally or unintentionally. Previously, Sister Weiling was unmoved. Recently, Qi Zishen has started to care about Sister Weiling in all sorts of ways. His stance is too fierce. Sister Weiling has never been in a relationship before. I feel that shes falling. Li Xiwu said something that was very likely. Maybe shes fallen. Yuanyuan looked worried. Li Xiwu pursed her lips in deep thought. It was normal for the male and female leads to fall in love because of the show. It was also normal to end their relationship after filming. Ji Weiling had never been in a relationship before. It was easy to fall into it when dealing with an experienced person like Qi Zishen. Yuanyuan, Li Xiwu called out. Yuanyuan looked at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu asked, What day is the poster shoot of the D perfume? Yuanyuan said, Five days later. Well film in the morning and announce it in the afternoon. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Watch out. Dont let her go too far. If she loses this endorsement, her future will be even harder. Yuanyuan nodded. Yes, I understand. They got out of the car in front and behind. They entered the set. At this moment, Ji Weiling and Qi Zishen were filming a misunderstanding scene. Ji Weilings acting skills were stable, and Qi Zishens acting skills were even better. In the end, Ji Weilings empathy was probably too strong. She was deeply immersed in the show and cried. Then, Qi Zishen, who had already fallen out of his character, went forward and hugged Ji Weiling to comfort her as if no one was around. It was unknown what kind of comforting words he said, but he quickly composed Ji Weilings almost broken emotions. Then, she smiled through her tears. Qi Zishen smiled dotingly, his fingertips gently scratching the tip of Ji Weilings nose. Li Xiwus expression darkened when she saw this. Yuanyuan bit her lip. How can Sister Weiling resist an old hand who is the best at seducing people? As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Weiling looked over. Chapter 191 - 191 In The End, She Would Still Let Li Xiwu Down (2) 191 In The End, She Would Still Let Li Xiwu Down (2) When she saw Li Xiwu, Ji Weiling subconsciously pushed Qi Zishen away. Qi Zishen frowned. Whats wrong? Ji Weiling felt a little guilty and ignored Qi Zishen. She pushed aside the makeup artist who was about to touch up her makeup and walked towards Li Xiwu. After not seeing her for a few days, the first thing Ji Weiling did when she walked over was to hug Li Xiwu and shout, Mother Dragon! Li Xiwu smiled faintly. You saw the trending searches too? Ji Weiling nodded. Of course. Even if I dont scroll through Weibo, Im still following you. Its all news related to you. Im also a fan of Mother Dragon. With that, Ji Weiling sighed. Ive been a fan of Mother Dragon for a long time, but I only know now that shes beside me. Im really surprised and shocked. The smile on Li Xiwus lips gradually faded. Lets not talk about me. Lets talk about you. Has the filming been going well recently? Ji Weiling nodded. Yes, everything went well. Ill ask Qi Zishen for advice if I dont know anything about acting. Hell teach me patiently every time. As she spoke, Ji Weiling carefully looked at Li Xiwus expression. This glance met Li Xiwus gaze. Li Xiwu asked, What are you trying to say? Ji Weiling smiled and shook her head. No, its just that I havent seen Miss Li in a long time. I miss you very much. Li Xiwu looked at Ji Weilings evasive gaze. Weiling. Ji Weiling said, Huh? Li Xiwu said, When you first signed in with me, I said something to you. You said that you would take this as your motto and remember it at all times to avoid doing anything that would destroy your future in the future. Now, do you remember that sentence? Ji Weiling was stunned. Then, she turned to look at Yuanyuan beside Li Xiwu. Yuanyuan buried her head and did not dare to look at Ji Weiling. Li Xiwu repeated, Do you remember that sentence? Ji Weiling paused. I remember. Li Xiwu said, Then tell me again. Ji Weiling said nervously, You should work hard. You should pay taxes. Dont talk to people you shouldnt talk to. Dont touch drugs you shouldnt touch. Li Xiwus voice was cold. So you remember. Just as she finished speaking, Qi Zishen walked over and shouted with a smile, Miss Li, long time no see. Li Xiwu looked up. Zishen. Qi Zishen walked over and teased, Miss Li, youve been really popular recently. I cant even catch up to your popularity. Li Xiwu said politely, Zishen is the pillar of Hua Guan. Who can compare to your popularity? Qi Zishen was humble. Its very rare to be praised by Miss Li. Li Xiwus smile didnt reach her eyes. Dont say that. Ji Weiling did not dare to look straight at Qi Zishen or speak to him. She listened to the two of them exchange pleasantries silently. When Qi Zishen left, she looked deeply at Ji Weiling. Of course, Ji Weiling knew that Qi Zishen was looking at her, but she had to pretend not to know anything. After a while, Li Xiwu wanted to return to the company. Ji Weiling could not bear to part with her, so she hugged her for a while longer. When Li Xiwu turned to leave, Ji Weiling stopped her. Miss Li. Li Xiwu paused. Yes? Although Li Xiwu did not ask explicitly, Ji Weiling could not be hopeful. Yuanyuan should have mentioned it to Miss Li. Otherwise, Miss Li would not have mentioned that sentence just now. Ji Weiling hesitated. I, actually, I Im not the Minister of Justice of ancient times. If there are some things you cant say, you dont have to say. Li Xiwu had a faint smile on her face. You walk the path yourself. The streetlights wont light up to the end. I wont force you to do anything, but Weiling, just think for yourself. Ji Weiling was stunned. After Li Xiwu left, Ji Weiling was silent for a long time. Assistant Yuanyuan was about to say something when Ji Weiling suddenly turned to look at Yuanyuan. Why are you telling Miss Li everything? Yuanyuan replied softly, Sister Weiling, although Im your assistant, its Hua Guan Media that pays me. I think its necessary to report your recent condition to Miss Li. Ji Weiling choked. After an artiste became popular, the salary of an assistant would increase, and it would also be prescribed by the artistes finances. Ji Weiling was still a newcomer, everything was managed by the management company. Ji Weilings expression was gloomy, and her voice was low. The company has already given up on me. This is the only drama Im filming now. After filming this drama, I wont have a job. Yuanyuan said, But Miss Li fought for the endorsement of the D Perfume for you. This endorsement can temporarily stabilize your path of retreat and guarantee that you can get a role. Its just that youre not the female lead for the time being. Once the value of the artist increases, many scripts will take the initiative to look for you. Ji Weiling lowered her eyes. Its always the easiest to say, but in fact? Yuanyuan was worried about Ji Weilings state. Sister Weiling, everyone in our company knows that no one lasted more than six months as Qi Zishens girlfriend. Why do you want to be with him? Is it because hes generous to his girlfriend? He might be able to give you a female lead drama after the breakup. Its fine if you dont fall into deep trouble. Once you fall into deep trouble, if you break up and he give you a drama to send you away, youll be the only one wholl wish you were dead. Ji Weiling took a deep breath. Im not a love brain. I know what I want. With that, Ji Weiling turned around and returned to the set. Yuanyuan looked at Ji Weilings back and said, Are you really going to let Miss Li down? Ji Weiling was stunned. Then, she turned around and asked Yuanyuan with a sad expression, How did I let Miss Li down? Havent I been obedient by her side for more than a year? But in the end, did I have a good outcome? The newcomer would replace me and resources were decreased. What did I do wrong? Yuanyuans eyes turned red from heartache. But this isnt Miss Lis fault. Whoever has the capital has the final say. Miss Li has already tried her best to fight for the best way out for you. Ji Weiling chuckled. Did she? She remembered what Qi Zishen had said. If she wants to fight for you, wont she be able to since she has won over President Qi who has the most say in the entire Hua Guan Media? It was this sentence that enlightened Ji Weiling. Thats right. With Miss Lis ability, how could she not fight for her in front of President Qi? She just didnt take her seriously. Back on set. Qi Zishen saw her return and handed her a chocolate. The sweet feeling connects directly to where the endorphins are secreted in the brain. Endorphins can be converted to heat to relieve your stress. Ji Weiling looked up at Qi Zishen. Qi Zishen smiled. You look like youre in a bad mood. Chocolate should improve your mood. Ji Weiling took the chocolate. Thank you, Brother Zishen. She gripped the chocolate and seemed to make up her mind. She took a deep breath. Brother Zishen, are you coming to my house for dinner tonight? She lived alone. The implication of inviting a man who had repeatedly shown her goodwill to her house was self-evident. Qi Zishens eyes darkened and he replied hoarsely, Okay. Chapter 192 - 192 Li Xiwu Found What Happened Four Years Ago 192 Li Xiwu Found What Happened Four Years Ago Li Xiwu returned to the company. Recently, Mother Dragons matter has been too popular. Some employees of the company saw her and were often starry-eyed. Li Xiwu responded to everyones greetings and went to Qi Jiangchis office. Qi Jiangchi crossed his long legs on his desk. His laptop was playing something, and he was focused on it. When he heard the knock on the door, he looked up and saw her enter. He immediately whistled and asked with a smile, Yo, Internet celebrity Mother Dragon is here. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Im here to ask if Qi Zishen has signed the next drama. Qi Jiangchi raised his eyebrows. You didnt care about me first when you came in. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, How has President Qi been recently? Qi Jiangchi shook his head. Not very good. My family began to urge me to get married. It was a bitter business marriage. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. I didnt expect the dignified President Qi to be urged to get married. Qi Jiangchi smiled helplessly. The two of them chatted for a while and quickly got back to the point. Qi Jiangchi turned off his computer and casually played with a pen in his hand. Qi Zishen just postponed the next drama. He said that he wanted to relax and would probably take on a role at the beginning of the year. However, hes not completely idle. He has a lot of endorsements on hand. Its enough to keep him busy. Li Xiwu nodded, indicating that she understood. Qi Jiangchi asked gossipily, Why are you asking about Qi Zishen? Did that kid seduce your Weiling? Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. Qi Jiangchi looked at Li Xiwus expression. Tsk, Im really good at guessing. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, President Qi, do you have any good suggestions? Qi Jiangchi leaned back. Zishen is famous and influential in his career. His looks are also the face of our Hua Guan. How many people have taken the initiative to stick to him? He doesnt have to be responsible for anything. Every relationship ended very respectfully. Li Xiwu added what Qi Jiangchi did not say in detail. The reason why the relationship could end well is because he was generous and willing to give away a house to his girlfriend outside the industry. For girlfriends in the industry, he would give away a female lead role. Qi Jiangchi raised his voice and smiled. Theres no harm for Weiling to be with him. After all, youre mainly bringing Xue Jinzhu now. If you reduce Ji Weilings good resources, Qi Zishen might introduce some good resources to Ji Weiling. Li Xiwus jaw tightened, her emotions restrained. Qi Jiangchi realized that he had gone overboard and cleared his throat. I know that youre very helpless about this substitution. Not to mention you, Im also very helpless, but capital is all about money. Who would feel bad about money? Of course, as long as Ji Weiling is stable, her backup plan can still be stable. I heard that you got her the perfume endorsement of the D Family. Li Xiwu looked up and looked straight at Qi Jiangchi. I want to change Weilings management company. Ill pay for the breach of contract. Qi Jiangchis expression instantly turned ugly. Ten million yuan for breach of contract. Are you crazy? Li Xiwu frowned. The company cant give Weiling better resources now. Keeping her will delay her. I want to send her to Ying Huang Entertainment. Qi Jiangchi snorted. Youre really good to her. Better than her own mother. Li Xiwu smiled. I said I would shine with her. If my abilities are limited, I will hand her over to someone capable and continue to shine with her. Qi Jiangchi reminded her, Youve worked so hard to pave a way for her. Perhaps shes doing something to disappoint you. Disappointment Li Xiwu thought of the look in Qi Zishens eyes when she went to visit Ji Weiling. It was an encroaching look of a predator that had yet to obtain his prey. At this moment, Li Xiwu would not have thought that Ji Weiling had already decided to let her down. She did not know yet and was still worried that Ji Weiling would make a mistake. Ill draft the contract termination as soon as possible and hand it over. Ill also contact Ying Huang Entertainment in advance. That manager is an old friend I knew when I entered the industry. I know her qualifications very well. Im also very relieved to hand over Weiling to her. Qi Jiangchi sneered. Ten million is not a small amount. You only earn a few million a year in Hua Guan, but this time, you spent ten million on Ji Weiling. Li Xiwu said, I love money, but I use it wisely. With that, she raised her hand to her wristwatch. It was four-thirty. She promised Han Qianye that she would return to the Pei residence by five-thirty. When she stood up, she replied to Qi Jiangchi, I have a mild personality. I dont need anyone to remember my good deeds. As long as shes good. With that, Li Xiwu turned and left Qi Jiangchis office. Qi Jiangchi stared at Li Xiwus back in deep thought. After a long time, he sighed softly. I hope your kindness wont be let down. C Li Xiwu did not leave the company immediately. She went back to the office to deal with some other matters. Xue Jinzhu was currently mainly recording the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show. She maintained her identity as a commoner until the end of the variety show. There were no other arrangements during this period of time. After dealing with her work, Li Xiwu prepared to turn off her computer. Her hand reached out, stopped for a few seconds, then withdrew. She had been very curious about something and had yet to make up her mind to investigate. She had many opportunities to investigate behind Pei Jingzhous back in the past two days, but she had never made up her mind. Because she knew that once she tried to understand and investigate, it meant that she was no longer an outsider. She seemed to have made up her mind. Li Xiwu took a deep breath and finally opened the search page. She typed: Country Ts chaos four years ago. Four years was neither long nor short. However, time was a magical thing. Unknowingly, it had silently obliterated some traces. As long as no one mentioned it, it would gradually be forgotten in the long river of history. At this moment, what appeared in front of Li Xiwu was the battle between Country T and South Yue Nation four years ago. A war waged over the political and economic advantages of the Central and South Peninsula. The two countries had been at odds for centuries before this war broke out. It had been a protracted stalemate, but neither had swallowed the other. Until this war broke out and shook the country. She scrolled down the list. Half of it told her how intense the war had been. The other half was a name that appeared frequently. Li Xiwu stared at the name for a long time, then entered the name alone in the search box: Li Huaisheng. Below the page that popped up was a very detailed Baidu encyclopedia. There were also photos of Li Huaisheng. Li Xiwu stared at the photo for a long time. She saw him before She had really seen him before In the dream, it was the person who called her Little You. It was also the person shed drawn in the sketchbook. It was exactly the same face. If there was one thing that was different, it was the color of their hair. The person she dreamed of was dark-haired, meticulously groomed, and cultured. In the photo, he looked to be in his fifties, but his hair was gray. He was poised and cultured. Li Xiwu looked at the photo quietly for a long time. She tried to find traces of this person in her memory, but for some reason, every time she tried to remember, her head began to hurt. Suddenly, something hit the table. Li Xiwu looked down. There was a crystal tear on the brownish-black table. She was stunned for a long time before she slowly raised her hand to touch her tear-stained cheek. Chapter 193 - 193 Li Xiwu, Out of Control 193 Li Xiwu, Out of Control Who said tears were silent? It was clearly deafening. The long-awaited heartache wrapped around Li Xiwu and pressed her down uncomfortably. Her breathing stopped, her face turned pale, and her lips and teeth trembled. Buzz buzz buzz. Buzz buzz buzz. The phone on the table kept vibrating. It was a call from Pei Jingzhou. The vibration eased Li Xiwus loss of control. She did not answer. Ignoring the vibrating phone, she moved the mouse and temporarily closed the computer page. Li Xiwu admitted that she did not have the courage to continue reading Li Huaishengs Baidu Encyclopedia. Her head hurt too much. The last sequelae had never hurt as much as now. Soon, the phone on the table regained its calm. There were no more calls. Li Xiwu composed herself and took out her air cushion and lipstick to touch up her makeup. Her complexion and condition quickly returned to normal under the cover of her makeup. Then, she left the company and drove to the Pei residence. C The Pei residence was in the capitals top district, Tan Hua Mansion. Li Xiwu had never returned to the Pei residence alone in the past. Every time, she would take Pei Jingzhous car and return with him. She would leave after eating. This time, she drove back by herself. Fortunately, the security guard at the entrance knew her and quickly let her in. Tan Hua Mansion had an area of nearly 50,000 square meters. It was filled with top-notch villas and was the richest place in the entire Capital. Han Qianye had not looked at her phone since four in the afternoon. She was very afraid of receiving a call from Li Xiwu. Because Li Xiwu had said she was coming, she would come directly. If she suddenly called, it was very likely that there was a change in time and she wouldnt be able to come in the end. She waited nervously all afternoon. Finally, when the butler came in to inform her, Madam, Miss Li is back. Han Qianye suddenly stood up, startling Pei Jiao. Han Qianyes face was filled with joy. After the joy, she reminded the butler, Dont call her Miss Li in the future. Its strange. Just call her Young Madam, okay? The butler nodded. Yes, maam. After Han Qianye finished giving her instructions, she turned around and rushed out to pick Li Xiwu up. Pei Jiao craned her neck and looked out through the glass. When she saw her mother flying in front of Li Xiwu like a dancing butterfly, Pei Jiao suddenly remembered something Beike had said to her: Your mother is simply silly and sweet. She hadnt agreed with that before. Now that she looked at it, her mother really did look silly. Outside. Han Qianye was holding Li Xiwus hand as they entered. As they walked, she said, I asked the kitchen to start preparing after lunch. I dont know what you like to eat, Im afraid Ill delay your work if I keep asking you, but I know you eat spicy food. I think youll like the dishes tonight. Li Xiwu said, Thank you, Auntie. Han Qianye added, Its fine if you dont like it. Tell me what dishes you like this time. In the future, Ill get the kitchen to cook according to your taste. You and Jingzhou can come back often to eat. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay, thank you, Auntie. Han Qianye smiled, and the smile on her lips faded a little. She knew she couldnt ask too much. But calling her Auntie really didnt sound good at all. She wanted to hear Li Xiwu call her Mom even more. Mom! Han Qianye looked up happily. However, it was Pei Jiao. As she walked over, she called out to her mother. Han Qianyes smile drooped again. Pei Jiao: ? Had she seen it wrongly? Her mother had been smiling so kindly a second ago. When she looked up and saw her, her smile disappeared as if she had never smiled. Pei Jiao walked over and greeted Li Xiwu politely, Sister-in-law. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Jiaojiao. Pei Jiao thought to herself, Fortunately, I didnt call her wrong this time. Otherwise, my pocket money would be deducted again. Pei Jiao said to Han Qianye, Youan is out of school. Ill go pick him up. Han Qianye said, Go. Pei Jiao raised her hand and twisted her index finger and thumb. Travel fee? Han Qianye turned around and shouted, Ah Dong, go and pick up Youan. Pei Jiao only wanted to use the excuse of picking up Pei Youan to slip out to do something. Her mother had said that she could not leave tonight when her sister-in-law came back. The family had to have dinner together. Seriously, she was used to asking for money when doing things. If she had known, she wouldnt have said such things. Pei Jiao tried to negotiate. Mom, Im just joking with you. Why dont I pick Youan up? Youan hasnt seen me in a long time. Hell definitely be happy if I pick him up. Han Qianye reminded her, Have you forgotten that the last time you accidentally sprinkled paint on Youans new shoes, Youan said that he would never forgive you? Pei Jiao was speechless. Han Qianye pulled Pei Jiao in. Stay here and talk to Xixi. Youre only two years younger than her. You have more common topics than me and her. Pei Jiao was dragged back by Han Qianye. C Li Xiwu did not feel uncomfortable at all when she came to the Pei residence. After eating some snacks, she flipped through some books and went to the basement to admire Mr. Peis wine cellar. She went to the second floor to admire Han Qianyes dollhouse. In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed. She had followed Pei Jingzhou to that huge wine cellar once before. The deepest impression was that it was very big. Secondly, it was very expensive. There were some wines that were priceless. There were also some top-notch hidden wines that could be bought at the price of a house in the Capital. This was the first time she had been to Han Qianyes dollhouse today, and it was also the first time she knew that Han Qianye was actually a doll collector. She had a very big room with many BJD dolls. Each BJD doll had its own pose, standing or sitting in its place. Some had set up a background, and they were all wearing beautiful dresses and beautifully combed hair. They were ridiculously exquisite. Han Qianye said, Ive liked dolls since I was young and when I grew up, I liked them too, but I never said that I was a doll collector outside. All the dolls I received were quietly placed at home for me to admire. Li Xiwu understood. No wonder she couldnt tell at all. Han Qianye leaned over and asked, Dont tell me you think Im very childish? Li Xiwu shook her head. No. When Han Qianye asked Li Xiwu this question, she knew how Li Xiwu would answer. Although it was not embarrassing to like dolls, if those people in the aristocratic circle knew that she liked dolls fanatically at her age, they would definitely gossip about her behind her back. Therefore, even Lin Yourong did not know that she had such a big dollhouse. Li Xiwu was the first person she willingly showed the dollhouse to. Han Qianye admitted frankly, Im actually still a little childish. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled faintly. What would you think if I told you that my friend still likes to play Ultraman at the age of 24? Han Qianye chuckled. Ill think that theres actually someone more childish than me. Because of Li Xiwus words, Han Qianye was in a good mood. Li Xiwu stopped in front of a glass cabinet. The doll placed in front of the glass cabinet was a doll with short hair and a cheongsam. Her facial features were beautifully drawn. Li Xiwu suddenly thought of Yu Hewei. Han Qianye walked over and said, I cant give you dolls. But if you like this model, I can help you pick one up. Chapter 194 - 194 Li You Is Really Very Outstanding 194 Li You Is Really Very Outstanding She took the opportunity to cut to the chase. Can you give me Miss Yus contact number? When Han Qianye heard that she wanted Yu Heweis contact number, she hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Sure. Yu Hewei was Li Yous friend. To be honest, Han Qianye did not want Li Xiwu to have too much contact with Yu Hewei. It was not that Yu Hewei was anything special. She just felt that Yu Hewei must have rejected Li Xiwu from Li Yous perspective. However, since Li Xiwu had personally asked for it, Han Qianye definitely had to give it. Hence, Han Qianye took out her phone. Ill give you Yu Heweis WeChat name card. Li Xiwu almost thought that Han Qianye would not agree. But fortunately, she agreed. She nodded and waited. After pushing the WeChat name card, Han Qianye gave Yu Heweis phone number to Li Xiwu. Ive sent you her WeChat and phone number. Li Xiwu said, Thank you, Auntie. Although Han Qianye did not like her to call her Auntie, she could only listen first. Next, Li Xiwu began to ask about Yu Hewei, intentionally or otherwise. Miss Yu doesnt look like shes from Country T. Does she live in Country T all year round? Han Qianye did not want to talk about Yu Hewei at first, but since Li Xiwu asked, she could not fool her. Shes from the Capital. She studied in Country T in her early years. After returning to the country a few years ago, she settled in Hai City. Li Xiwu probed, Back four years ago? Han Qianye was about to nod. She suddenly realized why Li Xiwu had asked if it was four years ago. Han Qianye hesitated. Actually, thats all in the past. Li Xiwu turned around. Auntie, can you tell me about Li You? This time, Han Qianye was really stumped. She could neither agree nor disagree. She could mention Li You to others, but in front of Li Xiwu, she really did not know how to mention Li You. This was making things difficult for her! Li Xiwu could also tell that Han Qianye was in a difficult position. Actually, I didnt know her name was Li You before. It was only after Madam Di Xin found me and mentioned this name that I realized that her name was Li You. She has the same surname as me. She only knew that there was such a person in Pei Jingzhous heart. No one could replace her. But she didnt know this persons name. Han Qianye hesitated for a long time and thought that it would be fine to say a little. Anyway, Li Xiwu took the initiative. She and Jingzhou are childhood sweethearts. Shes also Jingzhous first love. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwus expression. You cant be angry. You took the initiative to ask me. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Im not angry. Continue. Han Qianye probed, Do you really want to hear more? Li Xiwu nodded. Han Qianye said first, If you want to hear it, I can tell you slowly, but you cant get angry after hearing it. If you get angry, youll implicate me. You can ignore Jingzhou, but you cant ignore me, okay? She was worried that Li Xiwu would be angry after she finished speaking, that she was so angry that she would ignore her. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Since I asked, I really want to hear it. I wont be angry. When Han Qianye heard Li Xiwus words, she felt at ease. So she pulled Li Xiwu to the side hall next door and sat down to talk slowly. Jingzhou and Li You have known each other for many years. We agreed to their engagement, but after Li You went to Country T, Jingzhou spent half of every year flying to Country T to see her. At this point, Han Qianye said, That night at the inn, the past Jingzhou mentioned was his and Li Yous past. Li Xiwu lowered her eyes. I figured. Seeing that Li Xiwu was not too sad, Han Qianye continued, Four years ago, there was chaos in Country T. During a large-scale evacuation, Li You died in the line of duty. Li Xiwu heard two very important words. Line of duty? Han Qianye asked Li Xiwu, You know about the war between Country T and South Yue Nation four years ago, right? Li Xiwu had not known. But now she knows. But she couldnt say shed only just found out. She just nodded. Han Qianye said softly, Do you know this sentence? Other than soldiers, the closest to the sound of artillery is a diplomat. Li Xiwu nodded. Ive heard of it. Han Qianye continued, Li Yous father, Li Huaisheng, is a very outstanding diplomat in our country. Hes an ambassador with special powers and plenipotentiary, the highest-ranking diplomat in our country. Everyone in the industry calls him Uncle Li. A woman inherits her fathers work. Li You is also a diplomat. She was about to return to the country to work as the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but unfortunately Han Qianye took a deep breath to calm herself down. Four years ago, if Li You had returned safely and become the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you would probably be able to find her online now. Unfortunately, she will forever stay in Country T. But if you want to know more about Li Yous father, you can search for Li Huaisheng online. There are many introductions to him on the Internet and his photo. Li Xiwu wanted to say: I know. But she swallowed those words and said, Okay. At this moment, Li Xiwus heart was extremely stuffy. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwus expression. Are you very sad to hear this? Li Xiwus lips quivered. A little. Han Qianye could tell that Li Xiwu was feeling very depressed, so she stopped the conversation. Alright, lets not talk about this anymore. Its time to eat. Lets go down and eat. With that, Han Qianye reached out to pull Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu grabbed Han Qianyes arm. Auntie, dont mention that I asked you these things to Fourth Brother. Han Qianye understood and patted the back of Li Xiwus hand. Dont worry, I wont say anything. Li Xiwu followed Han Qianye down in the elevator. The Pei residence was too big and the second floor was very high. Most of the time, the stairs were taken by servants. Pei Youan, who was lying on the sofa and playing Fight the Landlord on his tablet, heard someone walking over and glanced in the direction of the voice. The first thing he saw was his mother, and the second was his sister-in-law! Pei Youan suddenly sat up straight. My sister-in-law is here! Pei Jiao, who was sitting opposite the sofa and eating an apple, replied, Yes, shes here. Pei Youan threw the tablet to Pei Jiao. Then why didnt you say anything just now? Pei Jiao said, You didnt ask. Pei Youan: Pei Youan rushed towards Li Xiwu and opened his hands to hug her. Han Qianye suddenly stood in front of him. What are you doing? Pei Youan stopped in his tracks. Im giving Sister-in-law a hug. Han Qianye waved her hand. Go away. Pei Youan was not discouraged that he could not hug Li Xiwu. He circled around Li Xiwu and asked like a magpie, Sister-in-law, when did you come? Li Xiwu replied, Before five-thirty. Pei Youans mouth fell open. Youre here so early? Im taking a day off this time. School was over at five. If I had known, I would have run home with my bag after class. Chapter 195 - 195 She Had Many Things She Wanted To Give Li Xiwu 195 She Had Many Things She Wanted To Give Li Xiwu Li Xiwu didnt deliberately suppress a smile. How are you adjusting to the new school? Pei Youan nodded. Im used to it. Im especially used to it. Im good at everything I learn, theres nothing I cant learn. Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. Its not impossible. Li Xiwu even approved of his bragging! So if one were to ask why Pei Youan liked Li Xiwu so much. This was one of the reasons. He was really very happy to be encouraged! Han Qianye asked, Wheres your brother? Pei Youan took the time to answer Han Qianye. I didnt see my brother when I came back. Han Qianye said, So hes not back yet. As she spoke, Han Qianye turned to look at Li Xiwu. Why dont you call Jingzhou and ask when hell be back? Li Xiwu remembered that Han Qianye had told her everything she asked just now. Now that it was a small suggestion, she naturally wouldnt refuse to say she wouldnt call. So she nodded in agreement. Okay. Seeing that Li Xiwu had agreed, Han Qianye thought with relief that if she often called her daughter-in-law and son back for dinner, their relationship would definitely get better and better. Why would she get a divorce? Li Xiwu would always be the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, the only public Mrs. Pei in the aristocratic circle. Han Qianye did not delay Li Xiwus call and pulled Pei Youan away. Pei Youan said, Mom, wait a minute. Im not done yet. Han Qianye knew her youngest sons character too well. With your mouth, you wont be able to finish talking for three days and three nights. Go away. Pei Youan: Li Xiwu went to the side and dialed Pei Jingzhous number. After waiting for about ten seconds, the other party picked up. Li Xiwu asked, Fourth Brother, are you still busy? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. When will you return to the Pei residence for dinner? Her tone sounded like a routine. Pei Jingzhou answered her, Im in the study on the fourth floor. Im talking to Dad. Li Xiwu was stunned. Fourth Brother, youre back? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. She had thought that Pei Jingzhou was busy at the company, but it turned out that he had already returned. She and Han Qianye had been in the dollhouse, so she naturally did not know when he had returned. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Downstairs? Li Xiwu said yes. Pei Jingzhou said, Im coming down. Less than a minute after the call ended, the elevator door opened and Pei Jingzhou walked out. His gaze swept over and stopped on Li Xiwu as he walked towards her. Li Xiwu put away her phone and shouted, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou naturally held her hand and walked towards the dining room. Do you like the dollhouse? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Why do you ask, Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhou said, Youve been inside for a long time. It turned out that he still knew that she and Han Qianye had been staying in the dollhouse. However, she naturally could not mention what she had chatted with Han Qianye in the dollhouse because from the various signs, Pei Jingzhou should be afraid that she knew something. She replied briskly, Those dolls are beautiful. I cant take my eyes off almost any of them. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. Do you like it? Li Xiwu knew what Pei Jingzhou meant by this question. I like it, but I dont necessarily have to have it. I can just return to the Pei residence to admire it occasionally. I dont have time to take care of it myself. Pei Jingzhou said, You can come back often. Li Xiwu laughed it off. C Tonights dinner was the most complete dinner in the Pei residence in recent years. Not only was it complete, but it was also lively. Han Qianye kept serving Li Xiwu dishes, wanting to stuff all the delicious food into Li Xiwus bowl. Li Xiwu would only eat 70% full at night, but she was very full tonight. There might be extra. She could not refuse Han Qianyes kindness. Pei Qingji held his wine glass and said to his eldest son, If you leave your wife at home for ten days to half a month, she will definitely gain weight. Pei Jingzhou said, If she doesnt like it, shell reject it directly unless shes willing. Pei Qingji smiled. Speaking of which, its really magical. The previous mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show was bad. So I thought that you would be single again from now on after this seasons variety show. Pei Jingzhou: Pei Jingzhou raised his wine glass to Pei Qingji. Dads worries are unnecessary. I wont be a bachelor even if youre a bachelor. Pei Qingji scolded jokingly, Brat. The atmosphere in the dining room was very warm. Until Pei Youan suddenly asked Han Qianye, Mom, are you happy on this show? Han Qianye replied sincerely, Im happy. Pei Youan asked again, Then why do I see everyone online saying that youre brainless? The moment Pei Youan finished speaking, all the voices at the dining table disappeared. Other than Han Qianye, everyone else looked at Pei Youan. Pei Youan asked, Why are you all looking at me? Pei Jiao placed her hand to her lips and coughed lightly. Brother, compared to you, I realize that my mouth is alright. Pei Youan was just asking out of curiosity. Soon, he would pay for his curiosity. After dinner. Pei Youan hugged Pei Qingjis leg and wailed. Dad! My biological father! Its not easy for me to go to school. There are many places to spend money in Lancas. Its fine if Mom stops Pei Jiaos pocket money, but if you stop my pocket money too, how am I going to live in the future? Pei Qingji was expressionless. Selling shoes. Pei Youan shouted, What? Selling blood? Pei Qingji seemed to be motionless. Pei Youan continued to wail. Dad, Im your biological son. How dare you ask me to sell my blood to survive? You might as well drain my blood at once. Han Qianye, who was passing by, leaned over and patted Pei Youans head kindly. Alright, Ill make a mummy out of you and put it in the museum at my own expense. A thousand years later, youll definitely be the most valuable mummy. Pei Youan: With that, Han Qianye left elegantly. Pei Qingji kicked his legs. Rascal, why didnt you offend anyone else but your mother? If youre not unlucky, who is? Pei Youan: Sobs! Pei Jiao, who was passing by, looked at Pei Youan, who was sitting pitifully on the ground. She squatted down and placed her hand on Pei Youans shoulder. She comforted him, Mom is not lying to you. If youre made into a mummy and left for thousands of years, it will indeed be very valuable. I remember that there was an auction in Nigeria some time ago. A mummy cost more than 80 million yuan. Pei Youan said, Its easier said than done. Pei Jiao said, Nonsense. Im clearly squatting and talking to you. Pei Youan: A months worth of money was gone just like that. He did not have much savings to plan ahead. He was probably really going to sell his shoes! After dinner, Li Xiwu wanted to take a walk outside. Han Qianye felt that it was cold outside and wanted Li Xiwu to stay inside. Actually, she still had many strange things that she had not shown Li Xiwu, such as the jewelry room that was bigger than a dollhouse, the new clothes room that was bigger than a jewelry room. She had a lot of things she wanted to give Li Xiwu. Chapter 196 - 196 Saying I Love You During Kissing 196 Saying I Love You During Kissing At this moment, Pei Jingzhou put on his jacket and walked over. Ive already let you have my wife for an hour. Havent you talked enough? The expression on Han Qianyes face drooped. What do you mean by that? Pei Jingzhou said, Then I wont let you do it next time. Han Qianye immediately compromised. Alright, alright, alright. I wont disturb you two. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile and went out for a walk with Pei Jingzhou. The night was colder than the day. The words would steam intermittently under the light. Pei Jingzhou knew that her hands were prone to coldness. Before coming out, he took out the leather gloves from his coat and put them on her. The leather gloves had inner velvet and were windproof. Li Xiwu looked at her hands. Its just a little big. Pei Jingzhou said, Your hands are too small. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. How can a womans hand compare to a mans? Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways. You didnt answer my call today. As they chatted, the topic suddenly cut off. Li Xiwu was slightly stunned and raised her eyebrows to look into Pei Jingzhous eyes. Pei Jingzhou continued to ask her, Is it because you dont want to answer it, or are you too busy to answer it? Li Xiwu looked away and lowered her eyes. Fourth Brother, do you really want an answer? The probability of the former was very high. Pei Jingzhou did not want to embarrass himself. I was just asking. Buzz buzz buzz. The phone in her pocket was vibrating. Li Xiwu took off her leather gloves and handed them to Pei Jingzhou. With a natural gesture, Pei Jingzhous lips curled. She took out her phone. The caller ID was Yuanyuan. Li Xiwu had a bad feeling. After telling Pei Jingzhou that shes picking up an important call, she went to the side to answer it. Yuanyuans calm voice came from the phone. Miss Li. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Tell me. Yuanyuan said, Sister Weiling brought Qi Zishen home. Li Xiwu gripped her phone. She wasnt photographed, was she? Yuanyuan sounded sad. Im not sure if she was photographed, but Qi Zishen has always been cautious. I dont think so. Whats done is done. Li Xiwu sighed softly. In the end, she still went the wrong way. So what if it was taken? It wont affect Qi Zishen at all. He still has some ability since he did not screw it up after so many years. If he admits that Weiling is his girlfriend, its fine. If its just for fun The outcome was obvious. Yuanyuans choked voice said, I really dont understand why she cut off her escape route in advance. Li Xiwu comforted her. There are many stops on the way. No one will accompany anyone through the entire journey. Yuanyuan said, But what makes me feel the most uncomfortable is that Sister Weiling let you down. Sister Xie Wen was bewitched by a scumbag. She couldnt escape from mental control herself. Sister Weiling is awake, but this time, she was sober enough to see that she had made a mistake. Li Xiwu said lightly, Yuanyuan, everything is not irreversible yet. Do your job first. Yuanyuan agreed. Okay. She ended the call. Li Xiwu looked up at the moon hanging in the night. Unknowingly, Pei Jingzhou walked behind her and pulled her into his arms. Troublesome matter? Li Xiwu felt a lump in her throat. Fourth Brother, what do you think human nature is? Pei Jingzhou said, People are born good. Li Xiwu murmured the words Pei Jingzhou had said. It was a sentence that everyone could memorize, and sometimes it was a very helpless sentence. Pei Jingzhou leaned close to Li Xiwus ear. Of course, theres another answer. Li Xiwu said, Huh? Pei Jingzhou said, Appetite and lust are only natural. Li Xiwu: C The two of them did not stay at the Pei residence and returned to Lake Lu. Pei Jingzhou, who had been vegetarian for a while, had eaten meat tonight. Li Xiwu thought that he would catch her and torture her with all his might, but Pei Jingzhou acted like a human tonight. Even Li Xiwu was surprised. However, she controlled her mouth very well, afraid that she would suffer if she asked another question. The next day, she got up early to prepare. The production teams car and cameraman would arrive at nine. A WeChat notification sounded. She picked up her phone. Han Qianye: [Im coming over, okay?] Han Qianye: [Can I come over now?] Han Qianye: [Im already packed. I heard that the live broadcast has started.] Li Xiwu typed a reply: [Sure, Im packed too.] Fourth Brother. She was about to tell Pei Jingzhou that she was leaving. Pei Jingzhou, who came out, scooped up his jacket from the chair. Lets go. Li Xiwu also took her bag. Fourth Brother, are you going to the company? Pei Jingzhou smiled. What else? The management of Lake Lus property was strict. The production teams cars could not be driven in casually, especially the cameramen, because there were also some other celebrities living in Lake Lu. The live broadcast was on. More than 700,000 online netizens were watching the Lu Lake mansion [Ive been waiting for three days this time. My flowers are withering.] [My appetizer variety show is finally back. Im happy.] [I heard that they are not gathering at Fu Town this episode, Im looking forward to the single-line mission ~] [F*ck! This is Lake Lu!] [Mother Dragon and her husband actually live in Lake Lu!] [The first day of the variety show should start recording from Lake Lu. Otherwise, they wouldnt have been suspected of being a fake wealthy family for so long.] [Living in Lake Lu might not be billionaires, but they must be very rich. After all, any house starts at 200 to 300 million.] [Many celebrities also live in Lake Lus neighborhood. It doesnt feel bad. The really rich top tycoons live in Tan Hua Mansion.] [How can Lake Lu compare to Tan Hua Mansion? You can buy Lake Lu as long as you have a few hundred million yuan. Tan Hua Mansion is priceless. Moreover, only people with status can buy it.] [Tan Hua Mansion is too high-level. Actually, Lake Lu is already very good. Can ordinary people live in a house worth 200 to 300 million yuan?] [Thats right. Why would you worry about other peoples houses worth 350 million yuan with a salary of 3,500 yuan?] The popularity of the live-stream was slowly rising. It quickly rose from more than 700,000 to more than 1.5 million. Under the gaze of millions of netizens, a low-key Bentley slowly drove out of Lake Lu and stopped opposite the business car with Mother-in-Law Joys logo. Inside the Bentley, Li Xiwu reached for the door and was about to get out of the car. Pei Jingzhou coughed lightly. Li Xiwu paused and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou looked at her. Arent you going to kiss me? Li Xiwu was not pretentious. As if it was a routine matter, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Pei Jingzhous neck to kiss him. After a light kiss, Li Xiwu retreated. Fourth Brother, is this okay? Pei Jingzhou said, Theres no emotion in the kiss. Theres no technique. Li Xiwu blinked and said with a bright smile, I have to say that I love you while kissing. Pei Jingzhou said, Thats a good suggestion. Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhous gaze. Just now, she had hooked one hand around Pei Jingzhous neck. This time, she raised her other hand and wrapped both hands around his neck. After a deep stare, her delicate lips parted. I love you. Pei Jingzhous pupils contracted. The next second, Li Xiwu kissed him. Chapter 197 - 197 Pei Jingzhou Looked Happy 197 Pei Jingzhou Looked Happy Just like before, it was a light kiss. But it seemed more affectionate. After retreating, Li Xiwu asked, Did it look like her just now? Pei Jingzhous jaw tightened and his thin lips pursed into a straight line. He did not reply. Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhous expression and chuckled. Without saying anything, she opened the car door and got out. The two cars faced each other, with one-way glass on either side, but not in front. The live broadcast camera had recorded everything that had happened in the Bentley opposite. The netizens were ecstatic [Ahhhhhh, what did I just see? Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!] [Sister Li and her husband are so sweet!] [Sister Li is too clear and cold. I thought that Fourth Brother was usually the one seducing Sister Li. I didnt expect Sister Li to be so fierce in private.] [Fourth Brother looked like he was enjoying the kiss. Hahahaha.] [When Sister Li got out of the car, Fourth Brother looked reluctant. Real husband and wife are just so happy.] [Sister Lis lips must be very soft. I want to kiss you too ~] Li Xiwu was in no hurry to get into the production teams car. She sent Han Qianye a message: [Are you here?] Han Qianye replied quickly: [Coming, coming, coming.] Just as she finished reading Han Qianyes reply, she looked up and saw a Rolls-Royce driving over. The automatic door slowly opened and Han Qianye, who was wearing a long black down jacket, got out of the car. She saw Li Xiwu at a glance and walked towards her happily. Xixi. Han Qianye waved her hand. [I was just wondering why I didnt see Brainless.] [Sister Li actually doesnt live with her mother-in-law?] [The relationship between mother and daughter-in-law who dont live together is enviable. All problems will be avoided directly, and the relationship between husband and wife will last longer. No wonder Sister Li and Fourth Brother are so loving.] [Li Xiwu was injured last time. Is it really okay to record the show so quickly?] [Brainless has to take good care of Unhappy~] Li Xiwu and Han Qianye got into the production teams car one after another. After recording three episodes, they were used to being on camera. Both of them were very comfortable. Especially Han Qianye. She was in a good mood. The staff in front handed over todays mission card. Li Xiwu reached out and took it, then flipped it open under the camera. Han Qianye subconsciously took out her phone. She had stored the 16 places Gao Yueban had sent her yesterday in a memo. She was about to unlock her phone. At this moment, Li Xiwu suddenly shouted, Mom. Han Qianye glanced sideways in surprise. Huh? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Were going to clock in at four commemorative places. Do you have any places in mind? Han Qianye instantly understood that Li Xiwus timely call of Mom had stopped her from exposing herself. Although the mission card had been publicized in the group chat yesterday afternoon, it was only known to the entire production team. It was not publicized, and the official Weibo had only announced the fourth episode of the single-player mission. When all the guests received the mission card today, they had to show that they had just found out about todays mission. Han Qianye calmly put her phone back and took the mission card from Li Xiwus hand. Let me see todays mission. The staff in front also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Xiwu reacted quickly. After reading the mission on the mission card, Han Qianye thought carefully and her eyes lit up. Hows XXXs former residence? Li Xiwu had no objections. Then lets go here. Han Qianye told the driver the location and the driver adjusted the GPS. In the end, she received a message halfway. The first group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already successfully clocked in at the place Han Qianye chose. Han Qianye frowned. Theyre so fast. Li Xiwu said, Then lets move to the next place, this old XXX address. Han Qianye touched her hair with the hand that was holding the mission card and said, Alright, lets go to this place. With that, Han Qianye asked Li Xiwu, My hair isnt messy, right? Li Xiwu was about to answer that it was not messy when her gaze was suddenly fixed on the mission card that Han Qianye had not taken away when she touched her hair. The driver was adjusting the navigation. Just as she was about to turn the steering wheel, Li Xiwu suddenly said, Wait! The driver hit the brakes. The staff in the car looked at Li Xiwu. Han Qianye asked nervously, Whats wrong? Did your hair get messy? Its not. After Li Xiwu answered, she reached out and took the mission card from Han Qianyes hand. She took a closer look at the line of small words at the bottom of the end and slowly read them out word by word. Every group will have a total of two chances to take the car provided by the production team. After the two chances are used, the production team will provide a hundred yuan as travel expenses for all transportation and continue to complete the mission. This line was very small. It was much smaller than the word Mission. It was not easy to notice at first glance. Visually, at first glance, it would be thought of as mission translation in English. Therefore, even Li Xiwu ignored it when she first saw the mission card. Han Qianyes expression froze. Twice? Then weve already used it once just now. Or is it only once if we reach a place successfully? Ever since they got into the car, the staff had been waiting for the two of them to discover the line of small words below the mission card. They thought that they would only know when their two chances were used up and they came to remind them. Fortunately, Li Xiwu discovered it in time and left a chance. The staff told Han Qianye kindly, Youve already used it once. Theres still one chance. [I was wondering how it could be so simple. It turned out to be such a scam! Hahahahaha!] [This single-line mission is too interesting.] [Brainless looks a little unhappy.] [Should I say that Sister Lis eyes are still the best? She left a chance.] [A hundred yuan is definitely not enough to travel, unless you ride a shared bike.] [If one of them doesnt know how to ride a bike, then theyre doomed.] [Then they can walk. Every place feels so far away, but fortunately its winter. Its getting warmer as we walk, but its a little taxing on the feet.] After Han Qianye had nothing to live for, she quickly comforted herself. Were definitely not the only group of guests who didnt see the small words. The staff said, You have to speed up the time. Otherwise, the nearest places will be clocked out. A hundred yuan might not be enough for the toll if its too far away. Then, he added, In addition, the subway is excluded from the list of transportation. Its not convenient for security cameras to pass. Han Qianye, who had calmed down after comforting herself, wanted to show off again. How can a hundred yuan be enough for the travel expenses? Li Xiwu added, We can try. Then the two of them got out of the car. In order to ensure the safety of the guests, each group of guests was equipped with six staff members. In addition to the cameraman and the assistant, there were also two guests, a total of ten people. The parking spot was a little remote, and there were relatively few pedestrians. Chapter 198 - 198 Netizens Guessing Li Xiwus Background 198 Netizens Guessing Li Xiwus Background Li Xiwu used the time provided by the production team to navigate. The shared parking area is more than eight hundred meters away from us, but it should be everywhere on the way. Han Qianye raised her eyebrows. A shared bike? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Han Qianye, who had never ridden a shared bike in her life, asked curiously, What is a shared bike? Li Xiwus heart skipped a beat. She looked at Han Qianye and pursed her lips. Bicycle. Han Qianye suddenly understood. Oh, a bicycle. Li Xiwu calmed down a little. She thought that it was probably because Han Qianye had never used a shared bike when she went out, so she did not know what a shared bike meant. But she would know if it was a bicycle. She thought it was safe. Unexpectedly, Han Qianye said, But I dont know how to ride a bicycle. Li Xiwu: She calmly and quickly calculated which places Han Qianye had given her yesterday were the closest. The former residence was considered close, but it had already been successfully checked in by Min Hanrongs group. The old site was a little further away than the former residence. She couldnt wait any longer. She was afraid that if she went too late, she would get stuck again. It would become more and more difficult to complete the mission. Li Xiwu said, Lets go first. Han Qianye nodded and followed behind Li Xiwu with her hands in her pockets. After walking for a while, she met a shopkeeper selling cotton candy. Han Qianye stared at him for a few seconds before taking out her phone and planning to scan the QR code to pay for it. At this moment, the staff reminded her in time, All expenses before the mission end will be included in the 100 yuan. When Han Qianye heard this, she silently put away her phone. Li Xiwu looked at it and asked, Do you want to eat cotton candy? Han Qianye pointed at the cotton candy. Its colorful. There must be a lot of pigment. Its not healthy to eat it. We wont eat it. The uncle selling cotton candy said, You really cant eat grapes and say theyre sour. Han Qianye walked over. Im telling the truth. Look at how bright the color of your cotton candy is. It must be made of pigment, unless you give me one to try. Ill carefully confirm if its pigment. The uncle laughed. Youre really thinking of ways to trick me, arent you? After laughing, the uncle said, Look at you. Youre dressed in branded clothes and dont even have ten yuan? Han Qianye pointed at herself. Theyre all fake. I love face. [Im going to laugh to death by Han Qianye.] [I heard about Han Qianyes plan overseas.] [I didnt expect you to be like this, Brainless.] [As expected, Han Qianyes performance was restricted in Fu Town.] [Sister Lis helpless expression looks so funny.] It was unknown whether the uncle believed her or not, so he took a toothpick and handed it to Han Qianye. This is for you. Han Qianye said loudly, Thank you, Brother. The uncle beamed when she called him brother. Alright, alright, alright. Dont spread rumors about what color I use. Han Qianye said, How could that be? Just you wait. Many people will come to buy your cotton candy tomorrow. The uncle didnt take it seriously. But seeing that there were so many of them and some of them were carrying cameras, he wasnt sure she was serious. Han Qianye took the cotton candy to Li Xiwus side. Try it? Li Xiwu smiled. You can eat. Han Qianye handed the cotton candy in her hand to Li Xiwus mouth. Try it. Li Xiwu did not want to see Han Qianyes disappointed expression. After hesitating for a few seconds, she picked up a little and placed it in her mouth. It melted in her mouth, and the sweetness quickly filled her entire mouth. Han Qianye asked with a smile, Isnt it very sweet? Li Xiwu said, Yeah. Although Han Qianye was delayed for a moment, she did not forget her business. We have to hurry. A voice message came from the phones navigation on how many meters ahead to reach the bus stop. When they arrived at the bus stop, Han Qianye pointed at the signboard like a curious baby and asked, How do I look at this? Li Xiwu explained. Han Qianye was very perceptive. Ive lived for nothing for more than forty years. Ive never even taken a bus in my life. Li Xiwu said jokingly, The program has a rule that you cant take the subway today. Ill take you there next time. Han Qianye said, Ive taken the subway before. Is it the one that whizzed from the Capital to Fengtian? Li Xiwu thought that Fengtian was a district in the capital. It took her a while to remember that Fengtian was another city. Li Xiwu added, That should be a high-speed rail. Han Qianye reacted. Oh, right, right. Its a high-speed rail. I might really have never taken the subway before. [Its good to be rich. You were born to stand in Rome.] [Brainless had never taken a subway or a bus for forty years. Ive lived for twenty years. Ever since I was eleven years old and in junior high school, Ive been taking the subway and buses every day.] [Their lives, our dreams.] [Han Qianyes family background is very good, and her husbands family is definitely not bad, but Li Xiwus family background should be very ordinary.] [Li Xiwus family background doesnt seem to have been dug up.] [Its not that no one has dug it up. Its just that they cant.] [I dont think Li Xiwus family background is that good. She belongs to the kind of person who works hard to change her life.] [Li Xiwus life and way of speaking are very close to reality. I also feel that Li Xiwus family should be an ordinary family.] [Family background is not important. Its good that Sister Li is very outstanding.] The bus arrived. From a distance, Li Xiwu could see that the bus was packed. She ignored the fact that it was morning rush hour. It was inconvenient to record a show with too many people. She turned to Han Qianye and said, Auntie, we might have to change the transportation method. Han Qianye stood up. Whatever you say. In the end, Li Xiwu chose a tricycle. The driver was an old man in his sixties. The old man usually only liked to watch news broadcasts and Peking Opera. He did not know Han Qianye and Li Xiwu. He picked them up and asked, Where are you going? Li Xiwu gave the address. The old XXX address. The old man smiled. Thats a good place. Twenty bucks. Han Qianye did not think there was anything wrong with this price and said, Then lets go. Li Xiwu stopped her. Wait a minute. The old man asked, Whats wrong? Li Xiwu opened the voice broadcast on the map navigation. The voice was very clear. After the voice broadcast, Li Xiwu said, Sir, isnt twenty yuan a little expensive for a distance of 1.1 kilometers? The old man said, How is it expensive? This is the Capital. The prices are so high. Twenty yuan a kilometer is reasonable. Li Xiwu said, No, its not reasonable. The old mans temper was a little explosive. Do you want to sit or not? If not, get down. Han Qianye had just sat down when she heard the old man chase her away. She hurriedly pulled Li Xiwus sleeve. Xixi, I dont think twenty is expensive. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and reminded Han Qianye, What we have the most today is time, but we dont have enough money. Its fine to clock in four places at once. If they clock in in advance from time to time, Im afraid the fare wont be enough. Its only 100 yuan. We have to spend it sparingly. Chapter 199 - 199 Li Xiwu Has Arrived At The Li Mansion! 199 Li Xiwu Has Arrived At The Li Mansion! Han Qianye agreed. At this moment, Li Xiwu suddenly reached over and placed her hand on the back of Han Qianyes hand. The young man driving the tricycle just now only charged us eight yuan, but that young man looks a little fierce and quite afraid. Why dont I take that young mans tricycle? Han Qianye reacted extremely quickly. I think its fine. Its broad daylight. How can there be so much danger? They were about to get out of the car. The old man quickly stopped the two of them. You all said that it doesnt look safe, so dont go. Ill give you a discount. Fifteen. Are you going to take it? If not, get down. Li Xiwu shook her head. Forget it. That young man only looks fierce. He shouldnt be a bad person. By then, the two of them had gotten out of the tricycle. Seeing that the two of them were stubborn, the old man stuck his head out. Twelve. No less. Take a seat or leave it. Han Qianye was already tempted. Li Xiwu calmly pressed Han Qianyes hand down. Our budget is only eight yuan. The old man scolded, Im really impressed. Eight yuan. Lets go, lets go, lets go. Hurry up and come up. Just take it that I pulled two donkeys, two stubborn donkeys. Li Xiwu: Han Qianye: [I thought that 12 yuan would be enough, but in the end, hahahahaha, I was too narrow-minded.] [Pass down the news that Sister Li is an expert at bargaining!] [Han Qianyes expression is my expression. Hahaha, Im stunned.] [I originally thought that the old man didnt want to lose this business, but on second thought, the old man must be afraid that it would be dangerous for them to take such a cheap tricycle.] When she got on the tricycle again, Han Qianye silently gave Li Xiwu a thumbs up. This was the first time she knew that Li Xiwu was also so good at bargaining! The two of them were lucky this time. They successfully arrived at the old site of XXX and completed the check-in. Han Qianye was as happy as a child. Looks like well complete the mission early today. Li Xiwu was also in a good mood. I hope so. On the other side. Xue Jinzhu had been walking for a long time and was extremely tired. Auntie Tang, why dont we call a car? I really cant walk anymore. Tang Xian looked at the balance on her phone. We only have fifty-six yuan left. Weve used up our two chances, but so far weve only completed two check-ins. Xue Jinzhu walked and hugged the telephone pole by the roadside. But I really cant walk anymore. The production team didnt tell me earlier. Im wearing such high heels today. Tang Xian walked over. Theres snot on this telephone pole from a passerby blowing his nose. With that, there was no longer any fatigue on Xue Jinzhus face. She screamed and retreated, but she retreated quickly and fell to the ground. Her butt hurt. Xue Jinzhu was at a loss for a few seconds before she burst into tears. Boohoo Tang Xian was helpless. She went forward and helped Xue Jinzhu up. Its fine to stand up after you fall. Why are you crying? Xue Jinzhu cried, Im stained with someone elses snot. Tang Xian said, Its already dry. Xue Jinzhu kept crying. But its still there. Tang Xian sighed. Then lets find a place to wash your hands. Only then did Xue Jinzhu stop crying. [Master Tang is so helpless!] [Xue Jinzhu is too pretentious! She cries at the drop of a hat.] [I can tolerate cockroaches, but theres snot on them that someone blew. Im sorry, I really cant. I might have acted even more exaggerated than Xue Jinzhu.] [I feel that Tang Xians patience with Xue Jinzhu is not as good as her patience with Li Xiwu.] They found a place to wash her hands. Xue Jinzhu washed her hands thoroughly. It was winter cold, and the water was too cold. After washing them for a while, her hands turned red. After washing her hands, Xue Jinzhu felt better. Auntie Tang, wheres the next place were going? Tang Xian was about to speak. Theres a memorial two kilometers away from us Xue Jinzhu suddenly interrupted, I remember a place thats very close to us! Tang Xian didnt take it seriously. Where? Xue Jinzhu said, Qiang Yue Garden, Li Mansion. Hearing this, Tang Xians eyebrows twitched. Huh? Xue Jinzhu cleared her throat. I went to the Li Mansion with my father once. My father has never respected many people in his life. Uncle Li is one of them. Lets go to the Li Mansion to check in. Im sure not many people thought of Uncle Li. Haha, Im really too smart. No, my memory is too good. Tang Xians expression was calm after hearing this. Did you remember wrongly? Is it really very close to us? Xue Jinzhu nodded. Of course. Qiang Yue Garden is in the Western District, and were in the Western District now. She looked up at the live broadcast camera. Tang Xian hid the strange expression on her face and replied, Then lets go. Since its very close, well walk over. Xue Jinzhu was motivated this time. Okay. [Its the Li Mansion. I havent heard anyone mention Uncle Li in a long time.] [Back then, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs news conference, Uncle Li, who hit the nail on the head and fought with the scholars, had already left us for more than four years.] [The Uncle Li I remember is proficient in eleven languages. He always wears a pair of golden-framed glasses. Hes handsome and unique.] [That was clearly Uncle Lis last year in Country T. He was about to come back, but he stayed in Country T forever.] [Its very difficult to enter the Li Mansion, and the appointment process is very complicated. But if I can really see the Li Mansion again, Ill still be very happy.] At the mention of the Li Mansion, most of the comments turned to pity. At this moment, Li Xiwu and Han Qianye had successfully checked in the second and third time. The second and third places were very close. It was also very smooth. Although she walked a lot, Han Qianye did not feel tired at all. She had always been in a good mood. However, this good mood ended when Li Xiwu mentioned Next address, to Li Mansion. When Han Qianye heard this, the smile on her lips suddenly disappeared. To the Li Mansion? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes, to the Li Mansion. Han Qianye was in a difficult position. Isnt the Li Mansion a little far from us? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Its a little further than the first three, but we have more than 70 yuan left. Its completely enough to take a taxi. Or we can use the last chance the production team provides for transportation. Han Qianye stammered, Why dont we choose a closer place? Li Xiwu did not reply. Han Qianye could tell that Li Xiwu really wanted to go. It was unknown if it was because she had chatted with Li Xiwu about Li Huaisheng last night that Li Xiwu stubbornly wanted to go to the Li Mansion today. Han Qianye could only compromise. Then lets go to the Li Mansion. I hope were lucky and complete the check-in. [Sister Li is also going to the Li Mansion!] [Xue Jinzhu and her future mother-in-law have also set off for the Li Mansion.] Chapter 200 - 200 Recognizing Li Xiwu, Shes Finally Home! 200 Recognizing Li Xiwu, Shes Finally Home! [Its obvious that Li Xiwu and Han Qianye will be a step late. Xue Jinzhu and Tang Xian are very close to the Li Mansion.] [Its indeed too late. Xue Jinzhu and Tang Xian are almost here.] [Im guessing Sister Li thought of the Li Mansion because of her surname?] At this moment, Xue Jinzhu and Tang Xian were only 300 meters away from the Li Mansion. Li Xiwu and Han Qianye were still more than a kilometer away from the Li Mansion. However, some things never developed at a smooth pace. Although Xue Jinzhu and Tang Xian had indeed arrived at Qiang Yue Garden first, they could not enter without an appointment. Only those who lived in Qiang Yue Garden could enter and leave freely. Xue Jinzhu placed her hands on her hips. Thats very difficult. I thought I probably wouldnt be able to enter the Li Mansion. I didnt expect that I wouldnt even be able to enter Qiang Yue Garden today. Tang Xian heaved a sigh of relief. Then lets change the address. How simple. Xue Jinzhu didnt want to give up just like that. She walked up to the security guard and clasped her hands together. Uncle, were recording a show. We can just go in and take a photo. Can you make an exception? Please. The security guard said, What show? Why havent I seen it before? Xue Jinzhu quickly turned on her phone and searched for Mother-in-Law Joy for the security guards to see. The security guard waved her away with a stiff and serious expression. Please dont disturb my work. You have to show the information that youve successfully made an appointment to enter. Only those who live here can enter. Xue Jinzhu: Soon, the production team began to communicate. As expected, the communication was unsuccessful. It was still the same sentence. Either show the information that the appointment was successful or only those who lived in Qiang Yue Garden could enter. The area of Qiang Yue Garden was wide. It was a very famous place to begin with, and later on, it was even famous for the Li Mansion. Now, it was very difficult to make an appointment to visit the Li Mansion. [I can understand. Everyone living in Qiang Yue Garden has their own identities. In the early years, everyone mourned Uncle Li and visited the Li Mansion frequently. They have already left and need to rest in peace. The Li Mansion cant be disturbed all the time.] [Not to mention living in Qiang Yue Garden, the entire production team cant gather anyone who knows the people in Qiang Yue Garden.] [They can only give up. Those who cant enter have to show the information that the appointment was successful.] [Unfortunately, I thought I would see the Li Mansion again this time.] The netizens watching online were all sighing that they could not enter the Li Mansion. At this moment, Li Xiwu and Han Qianyes car arrived at Qiang Yue Garden. When she saw another production team car parked outside Qiang Yue Garden, Han Qianye turned to ask Li Xiwu, Have Tang Xian and the others already clocked in here? Li Xiwu was stunned. She looked at her phone from time to time on the way over and did not receive any news that someone had checked-in in the Li Mansion. In order to prevent herself from ignoring any news, Li Xiwu took out her phone and looked at it again. In the end, she confirmed, Either they didnt clock in, or theres a bug in the production team. Lets go down and take a look first. Putting away her phone, Li Xiwu pushed open the car door and got out first. Tang Xian saw Li Xiwu immediately and smiled. Xiwu. Li Xiwu nodded and walked towards Tang Xian. As soon as she approached, Tang Xian held Li Xiwus hand kindly. Youre here too. Tang Xian was just too enthusiastic, so Li Xiwu did not pull her hand away. We just arrived and saw you standing outside. Have you already checked in? No! It was Xue Jinzhu who answered. She walked over to Li Xiwu and said unhappily, The security guard said that you have to show the information that you have made an appointment before you can enter. Otherwise, you have to be someone who lives in Qiang Yue Garden. Li Xiwu immediately understood. No wonder we bumped into each other. Previously, every time the other groups checked in, the other people who rushed over had to turn around. No one had met each other. At this moment, Han Qianye walked over. Unexpectedly, the moment she came over, she saw Tang Xian holding Li Xiwus hand tightly. Han Qianyes expression fell and she immediately touched her head. Xixi, help me see if my hair is knotted. It hurts a little when I pull my scalp. When Li Xiwu heard this, she retracted her hand from Tang Xians and turned to help Han Qianye do her hair. Realizing that Han Qianyes hair was very smooth and did not have a knot, Li Xiwu immediately understood Han Qianyes intentions. The knot in her hair was fake. She just wanted to separate her hand from Tang Xians. To Han Qianye, she had only held Li Xiwus hand a few times along the way. Why was she held tightly by Tang Xian the moment she arrived in front of her? She was being petty. Xixis hand could only be held by her. [I dont know which netizen said that Han Qianye is a little scheming, but its always obvious.] [I knew it wasnt my imagination. Tang Xian is more friendly to Li Xiwu than to Xue Jinzhu.] [It cant be helped. Sister Li is too outstanding. My mother-in-law likes her too, but it doesnt affect me from liking her too.] [Ill say it again. Its fine to fan an unpopular couple, but dont be evil.] At this moment, Li Xiwu asked Xue Jinzhu, Have you communicated with the production team? Xue Jinzhu replied gloomily, Yes, Im almost begging my father and grandmother, but they still wont let me in. Tang Xian suggested, Xiwu, why dont you ask again? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Youve all communicated with the production team. If you cant do it, it probably wont work. Its the same even if I go. Tang Xian also smiled faintly. Thats not necessarily true. Youre very popular now. Perhaps the security uncle will let you pass as soon as he sees you. [Master Tang! Please dont attract criticism for Sister Li, okay?] [They have already clearly said that they have to show the information that the appointment was successful. Otherwise, only those who live in Qiang Yue Garden can enter. Its not like they can enter just because the popularity is high.] [Its over, its over. Someone has seized the opportunity to defame Sister Li again. Its so annoying.] [Its still the same thing. Even if the heavens are here, no one can enter Qiang Yue Garden today.] [Unless anyone has relatives who live in Qiang Yue Garden.] No one thought that Li Xiwu could really go in. Could she go in as if she were home? It was too unrealistic! Even Li Xiwu thought that it was impossible for her to enter Qiang Yue Garden just because of popularity. She thought that if the production team could communicate well, she really wanted to go in and see the famous Li Mansion and the memorial. But communication failed. Then she could only give up on this idea for the time being. She would officially make an appointment to enter Qiang Yue Garden after recording the show. She was calm, but Xue Jinzhu believed Tang Xians words and forcefully pulled Li Xiwu over. Sister Li, I think you can try. Come and communicate. Li Xiwu didnt think that was necessary. The netizens felt even more embarrassed. But at this moment, after the security guard saw Li Xiwus face clearly, he suddenly stood up excitedly Chapter 201 - 201 Long-awaited Acquaintance 201 Long-awaited Acquaintance The security guard stared at Li Xiwu with a burning gaze. He seemed very excited, but there was also a hint of doubt mixed in with his excitement. He kept muttering, How can it be so similar How can it be so similar But at this moment, no guest noticed his excitement. Xue Jinzhu turned to ask Li Xiwu, Sister Li, how many places are you not checked in? Li Xiwu said, One. Xue Jinzhus eyes widened. Just one? Li Xiwu nodded and asked, What about you? Tang Xian, who was walking over, said, Were still short of two. Xue Jinzhu sighed. I still have a date tonight. Looks like I have to work hard later. Tang Xian replied casually, Its fine. Lanshi can wait a little longer. Xue Jinzhu cooperated with a shy smile. Auntie, thats not very good. Tang Xian smiled faintly. If he doesnt have the patience to wait for you now, what will happen when you get married in the future? Xue Jinzhu had an epiphany. That makes sense. Han Qianye walked to Li Xiwus side. Xixi, lets go to the next place. Li Xiwu turned sideways. Okay. They could not enter Qiang Yue Garden. Even if they could, Li Xiwu and Han Qianyes group arrived late. They could only find the next place to check in. They were about to turn when The security guard suddenly shouted, Wait! Wait! Li Xiwu stopped in her tracks and turned around at the same time as Han Qianye. After the security guard saw Li Xiwus face clearly, the shock in his eyes was even more obvious than before. Han Qianye saw that the security guard had been staring at Li Xiwu and was a little unhappy. She frowned and asked, Whats wrong? The security guard smiled apologetically. Give me a minute. Ill make a call and ask. Xue Jinzhu shouted, Ask what? Could it be that we still have a chance to enter? The security guard was afraid that they would really leave, so he nodded and dealt with it first before asking, So many of you are recording a show, right? Xue Jinzhu nodded. Yes, yes. As the security guard searched for the phone number, he asked distractedly, The kind of show thatll be on TV? Xue Jinzhu was about to continue saying that she was right, but she quickly realized that this security uncle really did not watch variety shows. He had no idea what form the variety show they were recording was or what it was worth watching. Before Xue Jinzhu could answer, the security guard held the phone to his ear and said something to the person on the other end of the line. A moment later, the security guard ended the call and strode over to Li Xiwu. He had been a little far away just now, but now that he was walking over, the security guard stared carefully at Li Xiwus face at close range and realized that she really did look like her. However, he didnt say anything nonsense. He only asked, May I ask your surname? Li Xiwu was neither servile nor overbearing. My surname is Li. The security guards pupils constricted visibly. He seemed even more surprised than before. Your surname is Li? Li Xiwu nodded. In his surprise, the security guards expression became much more serious. Wait a moment. Mr. Cai will be out soon. Li Xiwu did not know much about Qiang Yue Garden and Li Mansion. She did not know who Mr. Cai was. She wanted to ask, but the person in front of him had already turned back and was looking up, waiting for Mr. Cai to appear. [I know who it is as soon as I hear Mr. Cai.] [Damn! What kind of face does Li Xiwu have? Mr. Cai is coming out to see her?] [Mr. Cai is highly respected. He has been guarding the Li Mansion for decades and was Uncle Lis mentor.] [No way, no way. Does Sister Li have any other identity that we dont know?] [Hahaha, just kidding. Dont tell me Li Xiwu went home.] [Joke moderately. Perhaps Li Xiwu is the only one who has an appointment. But if she has an appointment, it proves that this one-line mission is a script.] Millions of netizens speculated. Xue Jinzhu poked her head over Li Xiwus side curiously. Sister Li, do you know each other? Li Xiwu shook her head. No. The security guard looked at her strangely just now. She couldnt describe it specifically. Perhaps he had seen someone he hadnt seen in a long time? A few minutes later, a white-haired old man walked out of the side door of Qiang Yue Garden. Mr. Cai, shes over there. The security guard raised his hand and pointed in Li Xiwus direction in front of the old man. Okay. Cai Buqus expression was serious as he walked towards Li Xiwu. When Xue Jinzhu saw Cai Buqu walking over, she quickly waved her hand. Old Mr. Cai! Cai Buqu followed the voice and looked at Xue Jinzhu. There were many people visiting the Li Mansion, so he naturally could not remember who Xue Jinzhu was, so he returned a very polite smile. Han Qianye looked at Cai Buqu walking over and stood in front of Li Xiwu immediately. Hello, Mr. Cai. Cai Buqu looked at Han Qianye and smiled back. Mrs. Pei, long time no see. It had been a long time since he had seen Han Qianye. Recently, he had seen her on the variety show they were recording. At first, he did not know that there was someone on this show who was very similar to Little You. And when Little Gu told him, he didnt take it seriously. It was not until Little Gu said that the person who looked like Little You was Han Qianyes daughter-in-law that he realized that he had almost missed something, so he paid attention to this variety show that night. It had not premiered yet. Instead, he waited for the live broadcast. Their expressions were indeed similar, but there was still a clear difference between her looks and Little Yous. Little Gu said that he had already arranged for Han Qianye to bring Li Xiwu to Qiang Yue Garden today. He had also made preparations in advance and specially assigned a security guard who had seen Li You to stand guard. Finally, she arrived. At this moment, Han Qianye frowned. Until the fourth episode, her husbands family had never been officially exposed. Just now, Cai Buqu had called her Mrs. Pei. She didnt know if there would be any implications. Cai Buqu did not continue on the pleasantries. He looked past Han Qianye at Li Xiwu behind her and asked, Can I speak to Miss Li for a moment? The smile on Han Qianyes lips froze. This Old Cai was indeed not blind. However, at this point, Han Qianye could not avoid anything even if she wanted to. She just did not want Xixi to be recognized as Little You frequently and feel uncomfortable. She turned sideways to make way for Cai Buqu. Beside her, Xue Jinzhu pretended to be surprised and said to Tang Xian, Auntie Han and Mr. Cai seem to know each other. Tang Xian listened to Xue Jinzhus exaggerated tone and looked at her exaggerated expression. She cooperated and said, Im quite surprised. Xue Jinzhu giggled and said, Auntie Tang, do you think Old Mr. Cai and Sister Li know each other? Tang Xian said calmly, I guess they know each other. Chapter 202 - 202 The Words "Li You" Shocked Li Xiwu. 202 The Words Li You Shocked Li Xiwu. At this moment. When Cai Buqu stood in front of Li Xiwu, his gaze was as sharp as a ruler as he sized Li Xiwu up and asked, Miss Li, is this your first time in Qiang Yuan Garden? Li Xiwu looked at the white-haired old man in front of her and replied gently, Yes, Old Mr. Cai. Cai Buqu retracted his gaze. I also watched your variety show. You and your mother-in-law should be entering Qiang Yue Garden to complete the mission arranged by your production team today? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Yes. Although Cai Buqu was old, he did not dawdle. After asking about it, he said directly, In that case, we can make an exception. Li Xiwu was slightly surprised. Cai Buqu asked with a smile, Are you surprised? Li Xiwu answered truthfully. A little. She naturally did not expect Old Mr. Cai to agree to let her enter Qiang Yue Garden after a few words. Although she was sure she had heard him clearly, she couldnt help but ask again, Old Mr. Cai, are you serious about going in? Cai Buqu replied with certainty, Of course. She received a definite answer from Cai Buqu. Li Xiwu turned to look in the direction of Xue Jinzhu and Tang Xian. Auntie Tang, Jinzhu, Old Mr. Cai said that we can make an exception. Go in. When Xue Jinzhu heard this, she was stunned. Huh? We can go in? Tang Xian said, Xiwu, since youve communicated with Old Mr. Cai, its better for you to go in. Li Xiwu knew the order. You arrived first. Cai Buqu said at the right moment, Everyone can go in. The moment that was said, everyone was delighted. However, Han Qianye felt that it was inappropriate. Only one group can check in. We cant stay here. We have to go to the next place. Cai Buqu said calmly, Mrs. Pei, theres no hurry. Han Qianye pursed her lips. She felt a little uneasy. She looked at Li Xiwu beside her and asked her what she meant. Li Xiwu said, Its a rare opportunity to enter the Li Mansion once. Its good to go in and take a look. We only have one mission left to complete. Theres no hurry. Since Li Xiwu had said so, Han Qianye naturally could not go against her again. Then lets go in. Cai Buqu calmly made an inviting gesture. Li Xiwu nodded. Thank you, Mr. Cai. Cai Buqu smiled. Youre welcome. The group entered Qiang Yue Garden smoothly. It was so smooth that all the netizens were dumbfounded. [If it were someone else, there would still be a possibility of an NPC, but that person is Old Mr. Cai!!] [Haha, perhaps Old Mr. Cai also wooed Mother-in-Law Joy. He might even be Sister Lis fan.] [I wonder who said that the entire production team cant gather a capable person whos from Qiang Yue Garden?] [I wonder if anyone realized that Old Mr. Cai called Han Qianye Mrs. Pei. In other words, Han Qianyes husbands surname is Pei?] [Ive always wanted to go to Li Mansion and see Uncle Lis old residence. Mother-in-Law Joy made my dream come true online.] [If Uncle Li was still around, he would definitely welcome everyone warmly.] C Li Mansion was located to the west of Qiang Yue Garden. It was an old mansion. It did not have the gorgeous appearance of a modern building, but it occupied a wide area. There were large empty iron gates and a retro fountain. Many evergreen trees were planted beside the wall. Cai Buqu took care of the Li Mansion, so he knew everything about it. Like a tour guide, he told everyone how long the Li Mansion had existed. The Li family had been descendants of Zanying for generations. The Li family had produced celebrities a hundred years ago, but those celebrities had all died of old age. Only in Li Huaishengs generation. Li Huaisheng died in the line of duty in his middle age. His wife died in her middle age. His daughter died in the line of duty when she was young. The once lively Li Mansion had now become a big cold and lonely house. Xue Jinzhu had heard her fathers story about the Li family a long time ago. Now that she knew this from Old Mr. Cai, she would still feel very sad. Uncle Lis only daughter is also very outstanding. Shes Uncle Lis pride and Uncle Lis sequel. Its just a pity. Tang Xian glanced sideways and asked, You know Li Huaishengs daughter? Xue Jinzhu nodded. I know, but I heard from my father that Uncle Lis daughter is very outstanding. If she had survived back then, she would definitely have become the best diplomat in our country like Uncle Li! Tang Xian asked casually, Then do you know her name? Li You! It was Cai Buqu who answered. But when he answered this word, Cai Buqus gaze was on Li Xiwu. From the moment she entered the Li Mansion, Li Xiwus condition had begun to deteriorate. She tried not to let everyone notice, so she walked very slowly. She walked at the back and quietly listened to Old Mr. Cai talk about the history of the entire Li Mansion. Until just now. As Old Mr. Cai answered Tang Xian, he suddenly turned to look at her. Li Yous name shocked Li Xiwu. She had been recognized as Li You several times. Every time, she was very calm. Because she knew that it had nothing to do with her, she did not have to care. Only this time. She felt as if her heart were being strangled. It was an indescribable pain. Cai Buqu walked towards Li Xiwu and asked her worriedly, Whats wrong? Li Xiwu didnt want to dampen the mood. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart. Resonance. [Not to mention Sister Li, Im also very empathetic!] [At the mention of the Li Mansion, who wouldnt be sad? Uncle Li handed the first half of his life to the country. The second half of his life was really sad. He lost his wife in his middle age, his daughter in his middle age, and he died in the line of duty in his middle age] [As long as Uncle Lis daughter survived back then, the entire Li Mansion would not have changed.] [I feel as bad as Sister Li.] Li Xiwus words made everyone empathize. However, no one could empathize with this situation like Li Xiwu. The bricks and tiles of the mansion, the evergreens planted in the walls, the pumpkin cart carved from stone in the courtyard, the white jade fountain in the pool all felt more familiar than ever. Thats not right. Not unprecedented. The person she had seen in her dream also felt more familiar than ever. Look! This is Uncle Lis memorial! It was Xue Jinzhu who spoke. She raised her hand and pointed in a direction, where a huge stone tablet stood. The interior of the Li Mansion was not open to the public. Many people who visited the Li Mansion mainly wanted to take a look at the monument and also wanted to see the Li Mansion. They walked to the monument. The monument was more than three meters tall and sat on the north side of the Li Mansion. It was a good location. There were many words engraved on Li Huaishengs monument. The main content was Li Huaishengs contribution to the country and his characters resume. Chapter 203 - 203 Li Xiwu Saw a Photo with Her Father 203 Li Xiwu Saw a Photo with Her Father From the date of birth, nationality, graduation from the Capital University of Foreign Languages, masters degree in economics, and was proficient in 11 languages. He was chosen as the chosen one when he was still a university student at the age of 20. He had been in office for 36 years and had visited 23 countries. At the age of 56, he died in the line of duty. His life deeds during his tenure were all recorded on the stone tablet. Everyone present could see the monument. Only the camera could not face the stone tablet. It could not be seen on the entire Internet because this was the most basic respect. If they really wanted to see the stone tablet, it was best to make an appointment to come to the Li Mansion personally. [I have to go to Uncle Lis monument once in my life.] [Uncle Li, you will always be remembered.] [My mother said that from Uncle Li, you can see the gentle and elegant image that people have yearned for for thousands of years. He remembered the sacred duty of a diplomat, but in the end, he stayed in Country T forever.] [Look, Sister Li is crying!] [I can tell that Sister Li is very empathetic. Tears are falling.] [Sister Lis surname is also Li. This is the Li Mansion. The same surname might have been a family eight hundred years ago. Did Sister Li feel something?] Li Xiwu did cry. But she didnt know it herself at first. It was only when Han Qianye reached out to wipe her tears that she realized that she was crying silently again. She just looked at the monument. And sorrow came silently. Li Xiwu took the handkerchief Han Qianye used to wipe her tears. Ive made a fool of myself. Han Qianye said, Xixi, youre not in a good state. Li Xiwus lips quivered as if she wanted to say something. Han Qianye spoke before she could. Are you trying to say its empathy again? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwus expression and her heart ached. Youre also very outstanding. Youre the best person in my heart. Youre even better than Li You. The moment that was said, everyone looked over. Han Qianye felt that the reason why Li Xiwu cried silently was definitely not because she was too empathetic. After interacting with her for the past few episodes, her understanding of Li Xiwu was that no matter what happened, her expression would not change. Even if she was too sad, she would not casually show her emotions so clearly. Perhaps she felt that Li You was too outstanding, and that her family background was incomparable. It made her feel inferior and deeply helpless, which was why she lost control of her emotions so much. The netizens were no longer calm. [Whats going on? Previously, there was a Tang Xian who attracted haters for Sister Li. Why is Brainless still messing around!] [I admit that Sister Li, who has the identity of Mother Dragon, is very outstanding, but shes completely incomparable to Uncle Lis daughter. Theyre not on the same level.] [Li You is hundreds or thousands of times better than Li Xiwu. Doesnt she feel ashamed?] [I just thought that Sister Li was very empathetic. Why do I feel that its a little pretentious now?] [Brainless, dont attract haters for Unhappy!!] Han Qianye did not think too much when she said that. She did not know that her inappropriate words would attract some bad public opinion for Li Xiwu. But the netizens comments were not wrong at all. One was an excellent diplomat nurtured by the country. One was an Internet celebrity who was good at cooking. Li Yous status and level were indeed incomparable to Li Xiwus. Mr. Cai! Li Xiwu suddenly shouted. Cai Buqu looked at Li Xiwu kindly. Li Xiwu asked, Can I enter the Li Mansion? Xue Jinzhu reminded her in time, Sister Li, you cant. The Li Mansion is not open to the public. Even the netizens said: It seems that Sister Lis homework this time is not as good as Miss Pig. [The interior of the Li Mansion is indeed not open to the public. After all, its a private residence. There are many precious things inside.] [Old Mr. Cai has a bad temper. People have been reprimanded for asking this in the past, so you have to do your homework before you go.] [Look at Old Mr. Cais serious expression, is he going to reprimand Li Xiwu?] [Oh no, Sister Li is going to be scolded.] Just as the netizens all thought that Old Mr. Cai would be angry and Li Xiwu would be scolded, things happened completely opposite to everyones imagination. Cai Buqu asked Li Xiwu with a serious expression, Do you really want to go in? Li Xiwu replied firmly, Yes. Cai Buqu nodded. You can go in. Thousands of netizens were dumbfounded! Even Xue Jinzhu and the other staff found it unbelievable. Old Mr. Cai actually agreed to let Li Xiwu enter the Li Mansion? Were they really not mistaken? Li Xiwu did not expect Old Mr. Cai to agree so readily. However, this time, she did not hesitate like before she entered Qiang Yue Garden. Instead, after politely and humbly thanking him, she asked Cai Buqu to lead the way. Xue Jinzhu quickly raised her hand. Can I go in? Cai Buqu said, No. He rejected her decisively! Xue Jinzhu: Cai Buqi told everyone solemnly, Only one person can enter. After the tour, please help yourself out. [Im shocked. Why is it different from what I expected!] [I thought Old Mr. Cai would scold Li Xiwu, but not only did he not scold her, but he also only allowed Li Xiwu in!] [Is it possible that Old Mr. Cai looked at Sister Li very kindly and thought of Li You, so he only let Sister Li in?] [No matter what the reason is, I have to brag that Li Xiwu is still respected!] Before Li Xiwu entered, she told Han Qianye. Han Qianye naturally did not stop him. She only said, Then come back early. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. C The interior of the huge Li Mansion was extremely retro. Tall, short, fat, and thin antique table lamps, a rustic-colored trumpet gramophone, and an old-fashioned belt clock with a sense of time hung on the wall. There were pure wooden furnishings everywhere, as well as expensive rosewood tables and chairs that were difficult to see at a glance. Cai Buqu walked beside Li Xiwu and introduced these furnishings to her. They were all arranged by Li Huaisheng. Li Xiwu listened carefully at first, but then she could not help but be immersed in the world she saw. Other than familiarity, it was still familiarity. Bits of corners even flashed through her mind. When she turned around, she realized that she could actually match them, but she couldnt remember. Her head began to ache again. Li Xiwu frowned. At this moment, she suddenly saw a photo frame. She must have been too anxious to reach for it without Old Mr. Cais permission. Unfortunately, it was an empty photo frame and there were no photos. Fortunately, Old Mr. Cai did not reprimand her. He only patiently introduced her. This photo frame was originally a photo of Huaisheng and Little You. Li Xiwu suddenly looked up. A photo? Chapter 204 - 204 Awaken Li Xiwus Memory 204 Awaken Li Xiwus Memory Li Xiwu then asked, Can I see their photo? Cai Buqu stared at Li Xiwu for a moment before replying, Of course. Miss Li, please follow me upstairs. They reached the upper floor. In the blink of an eye, they entered a huge study. The entire Li Mansion was cleaned up, including the huge study in front of him. Cai Buqu found a photo of Li Huaisheng and Li You from the cabinet and handed it to Li Xiwu. This is it. When Li Xiwu reached out to take it, her hand trembled uncontrollably. Cai Buqu reminded gently, Hold it steady. Li Xiwu nodded and looked down at the person in the photo. The background was downstairs. Li Huaisheng, who looked very young, was sitting on a chair carved from rosewood. Behind him was a girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old. She was mischievously about to put a hat on Li Huaisheng. Li Huaishengs face was filled with disdain, but he still did not resist the hat that crushed his hairstyle. Li Huaisheng was still the same Li Huaisheng. He was gentle and elegant. The girl standing behind her looked 50 to 60% similar to Li Xiwu. After staring at it for an unknown period of time, Li Xiwus hand trembled slightly as she held the photo. She tried her best to control it, but in the end, she could not hold it firmly. The photo fell from her hand. Fortunately, Old Mr. Cai caught it quickly. Although it was only a photo, it was rude to drop it on the ground the first time she looked at it. Li Xiwu had always been cautious. But ever since she entered the Li Mansion today, she realized that many of her actions were out of her control. For no reason, she cried in public. Her head began to hurt very much again and was torturing her inch by inch. Cai Buqu had been paying attention to Li Xiwus expression. Realizing that her expression was very ugly, he asked worriedly, Miss Li, are you feeling unwell? Li Xiwu braced her small arms against the side door wall. A little, but nothing serious. Ill be fine after a while. Cai Buqu supported Li Xiwu. Ill help you down for a while. Li Xiwu said, Thank you. They reached the bottom of the stairs. Li Xiwu sat on the sofa. Cai Buqu said, Wait a moment. Ill get you a glass of water. Li Xiwu wanted to say no, but Old Mr. Cai had already gone to get water. Li Xiwu could only take back her words. She leaned back and closed her eyes, trying to slow down the impact of that photo! This was the first time she had seen a photo of Li You in person. Although she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. But from her facial features, it was obvious that she was similar to her, and the expression in her eyes. Miss Li, drink some water. Cai Buqu, who had returned, was handing Li Xiwu a cup of warm water. While Li Xiwu was drinking water, Cai Buqu asked, Where are Miss Lis parents? Li Xiwus lips pursed at the mouth of her cup. Im an orphan. Cai Buqu suddenly looked at her. Orphan? Li Xiwu said, Yeah. Cai Buqu continued to ask, Do you feel a trace of familiarity with this Li Mansion? Li Xiwu didnt lie. Yes. Cai Buqu suddenly stood up. Of course, Li Xiwu knew why Old Mr. Cai was suddenly so excited. Old Mr. Cai, do you think Im Miss Li You? Cai Buqu was instantly speechless. There were so many things he wanted to say that it wasnt appropriate to say them like this. He sat down again and composed himself. Looking at the cup of warm water in Li Xiwus hand, Cai Buqu reminded her calmly, Miss Li, drink more water first. If your mood is better, you can leave. Chapter 205 - Chapter 205: She’s the Real Li You Chapter 205: Shes the Real Li You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Han Qianye entered, she was shocked by the scene in front of her! Li Xiwu was sitting quietly on the sofa, her eyes slightly open but unfocused, like a soulless puppet that could be fiddled with at will. And there were two men standing in front of her. One of them was holding a small bottle. He was saying something to Li Xiwu as he fanned the smell of the bottle for her to smell. It was obvious that the bottle was not anything good. Han Qianye walked over aggressively Mrs. Pei! Gu Lanshi immediately stood in front of Han Qianye. Shes fine. Wait a moment. Jiang Ce was not affected by Han Qianye at all and continued to do what he was about to do. Han Qianye was stopped by Gu Lanshi and could not go forward. She was exasperated. If you say nothing happened, then nothing happened. Who are you? Whats your motive? Let me tell you, if you dare to hurt a single hair on Xixis head, Ill let you sit in prison forever! Gu Lanshi stopped her without moving. Mrs. Pei, calm down. I didnt do anything to hurt Little You. Han Qianye said, You still say that you did not hurt her. I clearly saw As she spoke, Han Qianye suddenly shut her mouth. Her throat seemed to be stuck in something, and she was immediately stunned. Then, she looked at Gu Lanshi in disbelief. What did you say? Just as Gu Lanshi had expected, Han Qianye did not know anything. He thought that this could stall Han Qianye. As long as Han Qianye was curious, he would give Jiang Ce time. However, Gu Lanshi could not figure out Han Qianyes thoughts. He did not play by the rules at all. After being shocked, she asked back. Before Gu Lanshi could answer, she pushed him away. I dont care what you say. Even if the world is about to end, its not as important as Xixi. Get out of my way! Han Qianye was usually weak. If she really used all her strength, Gu Lanshi would take half a step back. Han Qianye stepped forward aggressively and grabbed Jiang Ces collar, pulling him away. Go away! Caught off guard, Jiang Ce staggered back after being pulled away by Han Qianye. After stabilizing himself, he smiled bitterly and looked sideways at Gu Lan. Gu Lanshi remained calm and silent. Han Qianye was experienced after all. Seeing that Li Xiwu was motionless and her eyes were unfocused, she guessed that they must have done something to Li Xiwu. She waved her hand in front of Li Xiwu. Xixi? No reaction. Han Qianye called out a few more times, but there was no response. Li Xiwus eyes were still unfocused. Her eyes were clearly open, but she did not seem to hear anything from the outside world. Han Qianye couldnt wake Li Xiwu up even after shouting a few times. She was immediatplv fnri011R and turned around to aneqtinn them What did dn tn Gu Lanshi said calmly, Mrs. Pei, give me some time. I want to regain Little Yous memories. Han Qianyes expression had never been so cold. What Little You? Youve got the wrong person. Shes my sons legitimate wife! Gu Lanshi raised her eyebrows. Has Mrs. Pei never suspected why Pei Jingzhou found such a similar substitute by his side back then? Han Qianye said, Its none of your business! Gu Lanshi said coldly, Mrs. Pei, youre really stubborn. Han Qianye was about to say something else when Jiang Ce raised his hand and snapped his fingers Han Qianye immediately looked at Jiang Ce. Jiang Ce raised a polite smile and gestured for Han Qianye to look behind her. Han Qianye quickly turned around. Li Xiwu, whose eyes were originally open but unfocused, slowly closed them. The air froze for dozens of seconds. Li Xiwu opened her eyes as if she had woken up from a dream. She subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, but her head hurt when she spoke. She subconsciously raised her hand to press her head. Seeing that Li Xiwu had returned to normal, Han Qianye was overjoyed. Xixi, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable? Li Xiwu raised her eyes and looked at Han Qianyes enlarged face in front of her. She was stunned for a few seconds. You are Han Qianye did not ignore the confusion in Li Xiwus eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no, could these two have caused Xixi to lose her memory? At this moment, Li Xiwus mind was indeed blank. It was because the hypnosis had awakened her memories. But it was only for a short time. She would recover immediately. Han Qianye was afraid that those their scheme would succeed, so she took the opportunity to say to Li Xiwu, Im your mother. Li Xiwu was stunned. After saying that, Han Qianye pointed at Gu Lanshi and Jiang Ce behind her. The two of them are bad people. Dont believe a word they say. Believe your mother. I love you. Li Xiwu: Gu Lanshi: Jiang Ce: Han Qianye quickly helped Li Xiwu out. Seeing this, Gu Lanshi did not continue to stop her because he knew very well that if he stopped her again, something would happen. There were so many people outside, so he could not make a big deal out of it. Although he did not succeed in awakening her memories, it would affect her to a certain extent. For example, fragments of her past would appear in her mind from time to time. Han Qianye helped Li Xiwu out, but Cai Buqu blocked her way. Han Qianye was angry when she saw Cai Buqu. Old Cai, you still have the cheek to block the way. You joined forces with these unknown people to bully our Xixi. Dont you want your reputation? Cai Buqu was speechless. And that address of Old Cai was something Cai Buqu had never expected. He expressed his apology. Im really sorry, Mrs. Pei, but theyre not unknown. Mr. Jiang is a veteran psychotherapist and Mr. Gu is Little Yous senior brother. Han Qianye was even angrier when she heard this. Our Xixi is just a little quiet. How is she sick in her heart? Youre the one whos sick. Let him take a look at you. Dont delay. At this point, Han Qianye emphasized again, Also, shes the real Li Xiwu, not Little You. I think youre really blind. Cai Buqu: Han Qianye could still tell the situation. During the live broadcast, she called him Old Mr. Cai to express her respect. Now that there was no live broadcast camera, she just called him Old Cai. However, Cai Buqu knew that he was in the wrong and did not say anything to Han Qianye. On the other hand, he had heard Han Qianyes repeated rebuttals. He did not think that Han Qianye was stupid. She clearly knew what was going on. He turned to look at Li Xiwu. He did not call her Miss Li because he already knew in his heart that he would seem unfamiliar, so he said, Go back and rest well. As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Buqu turned his body to make way. Li Xiwus lips formed a straight line and she did not respond. When Han Qianye brought Li Xiwu away, she said, I dont have time to argue with you for the time being. Just you wait.. This matter isnt over yet! Chapter 206 - Chapter 206: Han Qianye Began To Doubt Li Xiwu’s Identity Chapter 206: Han Qianye Began To Doubt Li Xiwus Identity Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu looked as if she remembered nothing. The situation was serious. She had to take Li Xiwu to the hospital for a checkup quickly. She had no time to argue with them here. However, they actually dared to scheme against her daughter-in-law. This matter was definitely not over! Jiang Ce looked away and at the person beside him. Old Gu, youre in trouble. Gu Lanshi did not mind. As long as the path is right, theres no need to be afraid of the long way. Jiang Ce snorted. Gu Lanshi looked at Jiang Ce. How much will she probably remember after today? How long will it take for her to completely remember? Jiang Ce raised his hand to his chin. Im not sure. It depends on whether her subconscious desire to understand is strong. The more she subconsciously wants to understand, the more memories will come back. Subconsciously Cai Buqu strode in and stood in front of Gu Lanshi and Jiang Ce with a straight face. Youre not allowed to approach her again. Jiang Ce smiled awkwardly. Mr. Cai, these words are useful to him. Im only doing my job. If he didnt spend money to hire me, I wouldnt have come. Cai Buqu looked at Gu Lanshi. Gu Lanshi gave a less clear answer. Not for the time being. Meanwhile, Han Qianye brought Li Xiwu out of the Li Mansion. The cameraman immediately carried the camera over. [Aiyo, theyre finally out. More than half of the live-stream has left in half an hour.] [I watched helplessly as more than three million people were left with more than 1.2 million people.] [Sister Li, quickly share how you feel when you first enter the Li Mansion.] [The last place is completed. There are still three hours before the live broadcast ends. Im curious about what to do next.] [The live broadcast wont end once the check in completes, right?] At this moment, Han Qianye held Li Xiwus hand tightly and announced that the last check-in had been completed. At the same time, it was announced that todays live broadcast would end early. The staff was stunned. The netizens were also stunned. [Whats going on? Weve been waiting for so long. Youre announcing the end of the live broadcast when you come out?] [Its a waste of half an hour. I shouldnt have guarded it.] [No way, is the live broadcast really ending? Did something happen?] [Sister Li doesnt look very well. She seems to be troubled. Is she feeling unwell?] The netizens were angry as they guessed that something had happened. Han Qianye did not disappoint everyone. She specifically explained to the camera, Im sorry, everyone. It was an unexpected situation. Xixi didnt completely recover from her previous injury. She almost fainted inside just now. I have to take Xixi to the hospital to take a look. Ill definitely bring joy to everyone tomorrow. Thank you. With that, she hurriedly closed the car door. Although the netizens were very reluctant, everyone expressed their understanding while feeling reluctant after Han Qianye explained the situation. [I didnt see Sister Lis wound. I almost forgot that Sister Li was recording a show with an injury.] [It must be the aftereffects of a concussion. No wonder it took so long to get out after going in.] [I hope Sister Li gets better soon.] In the car. Li Xiwu had been very quiet from the moment she left the Li Mansion until she got into the car. Han Qianye was on the phone with Pei Qingji and had already finished speaking. Thats probably the case. Quickly send someone to investigate. They must be up to no good. Pei Qingji only followed his wifes orders. Ive already sent someone to investigate. Dont worry too much, or you wont eat dinner again. Han Qianyes anger had yet to subside. I dont want to eat anymore. This Old Cai is really too much. Im so angry. If I had known that this would happen, I would have stopped her. Pei Qingji asked in a low voice, So, Old Cai is also trying to confirm this? Han Qianye nodded. Yeah. Actually, when she was arguing with Cai Buqu, Han Qianye was quite uncertain. It was fine if it was Madam Di Xin, but his brother, Han Pin, also said that Xixi had a shadow of Little You. Later on, there was Yu Hewei, and there was Cai Buqu too! Recalling the first time she had seen Li Xiwu, she had been surprised too. She thought that Li You had really returned from Country T alive. However, when her son introduced her, he said that her name was Li Xiwu. When she returned, she quickly asked someone to check Li Xiwus identity and background. Other than looking like Li You, the two of them had nothing to do with each other. Therefore, ever since Han Qianye confirmed that Li Xiwu was the substitute her son had found, she had never put Li Xiwu and Li You together to guess their identities. It was true that she did not like Li Xiwu at that time. Because at that time, she felt that Li Xiwu was not worthy of her son. It was difficult to accept a substitute who only looked like her. But after today, Han Qianye had to reevaluate some things. After ending the call with Pei Qingji, Han Qianye wanted to sigh. She looked sideways at Li Xiwu, who was sitting beside her, and forcefully suppressed her sigh, afraid that it would affect her. She put away her phone and moved closer to Li Xiwu. Baby? Li Xiwu came back to her senses. Han Qianye thought that Li Xiwu was still in a state of amnesia and said kindly, Im your mother. Li Xiwu: Han Qianye held Li Xiwus hand and coaxed her to call her, Can you call me Mom? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Han Qianye continued to coax her. Im really your mother. Im real. Be good. You have to listen to me and not believe those strangers outside. Theyll kidnap you. I cant lose you. Li Xiwus lips moved. Just as she was about to say something, Han Qianye pouted and said, Be good. Call me Mom first. Li Xiwu: Han Qianye was more or less disappointed that she did not hear Li Xiwu call her Mom. She knew that although Li Xiwu had temporarily lost her memory, she had not lost her brain stem. She must have suspected something. But that was fine. She leaned forward and kissed Li Xiwu on the cheek. Baby, Mom loves you. Li Xiwu was stunned. She raised her hand to touch the cheek that Han Qianye had just kissed. At this moment, Han Qianye leaned over again. Ill kiss here too, indicating that Mom loves you very much. Li Xiwu looked sideways at Han Qianye and finally said, Auntie, whats wrong with you? Han Qianye pouted and was about to kiss her again. l!! If her toes could really dig through the ground when she was embarrassed, Han Qianyes toes should be able to dig out three bedrooms and a living room. You, you, you remember? Han Qianye asked incoherently. Li Xiwu did not lose her memory at all. Her mind was only blank for a few minutes. She knew Han Qianye when she saw her, but the blankness in her mind drove her nerves. She subconsciously asked, You are Therefore, Han Qianye misunderstood and thought that she had lost her memory. Li Xiwu was afraid that Han Qianye would be too embarrassed. I just remembered. Han Qianye heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest twice. Thats good, thats good. She didnt have to dig out three rooms and one living room with her toes awkwardly! Li Xiwu said to the driver in front, Change the route. Go Han Qianye immediately interrupted, No, no! You cant change the route. Go to the hospital. Ill only be at ease after going to the hospital for a checkup. Who knows what those two ill-intentioned people let you smell? If that thing accumulates in your body, it might cause second harm to your body.. Chapter 207 - Chapter 207: The Implication of Fate Chapter 207: The Implication of Fate Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu pursed her lips. But I Han Qianye interrupted her again. Xixi, listen to me this time. Li Xiwu finally compromised and agreed to listen to Han Qianyes arrangements. She didnt know what the psychotherapist had let her smell. When she fell unconscious, many strange images appeared in her mind. When she woke up, her mind was blank. But she had a rough idea of their intentions. They tried to jog some memories from her mind. Li Xiwu did not resist this. If she had really lost her memory, this method could really make her remember something. It couldnt be better for her. However, that person was someone who had nothing to do with her in the first place. The only person she interacted with was Tang Xian. Therefore, she did not know if Gu Lanshi had good intentions or had other motives. In the future, she had to be as careful as possible about things like today. They arrived at the hospital under the Pei Corporation. Han Qianye revealed her identity and brought Li Xiwu to another passageway. There was no need to queue or wait. If she came up and drew blood for a checkup, the results would be out very quickly. The entire department on this floor was specially set up to serve the patients who came up through the special passage. It was very quiet and there were no mixed voices. When they passed by, they were all rich wives and daughters of wealthy families who were dressed in noble clothes. After drawing the blood, Li Xiwu went to the bathroom. When she came out again, she was surprised to meet Madam Di Xin. At this moment, Madam Di Xin was standing anxiously outside a department. Behind her stood two tall attendants. After repeatedly confirming that it was indeed Madam Di Xin, Li Xiwu was more or less surprised that Madam Di Xin had yet to return to Country T. However, when she thought about how Madam Di Xins daughter had married into the Capital, it could explain why Madam Di Xin had not returned. Li Xiwu hesitated for a few seconds before taking the initiative to greet her. Madam Di Xin. The two burly attendants immediately reached out to block Li Xiwu from approaching, indicating that she should keep her distance. Li Xiwu understood. After all, she was the former Prime Ministers wife. Outside, especially in a foreign country, one had to be careful at all times. Madam Di Xin was surprised. Miss Li! Its you! With that, she gestured for her attendants to step back. The two burly attendants quickly stood behind Madam Di Xin. Li Xiwu asked, Madam Di Xin, are you feeling unwell? Madam Di Xin sighed softly. Its Yaoyao. His stomach hurts. This was the first time Li Xiwu had heard this name from Madam Di Xin. It was like a girls name. But whether it was a boy or a girl, it had to be a child. At this moment, the doctor walked out and shook his head at Madam Di Xin. The little guy refused to cooperate. Yaoyao doesnt like crowds. I thought hed be more obedient when we came out. Madam Di Xin looked worried. The doctor said, Its probably his first time in the capital, so hes not used to the weather here. Madam, communicate with him again. I was talking to the little guy just now, but he kept ignoring me. At the end of the sentence, the doctor smiled helplessly. Li Xiwu listened quietly. She roughly understood the situation. Madam Di Xin brought a child from Country T. The child had just arrived in the capital and was not used to the environment and climate here, so his body showed some uncomfortable symptoms. Therefore, Madam Di Xin sent the child to the hospital. Listening to the conversation between Madam Di Xin and the doctor, it was probably because the child had a strange personality and did not cooperate with the doctors examination. She was thinking when her wrist was suddenly clasped. Li Xiwu looked down and saw Madam Di Xin holding her wrist. Miss Li, do you know how to coax children Li Xiwu had just answered unequivocally that she wouldnt. But Madam Di Xin didnt give her a chance to say no. She pulled her in. Li Xiwu: The examination room was huge, but there was no sign of the child. Madam Di Xin, the two bodyguards, and the doctor looked around for the child. Li Xiwu seemed to be at a loss and did not know what to do. Han Qianye was still waiting for her. She wanted to tell Madam Di Xin that she wanted to leave first, but she could not find the opportunity to speak because Madam Di Xin was looking for the child called Yaoyao anxiously. Li Xiwu suddenly realized that there seemed to be a slight movement behind the door beside her. She wasnt sure shed seen it right. After a few seconds of hesitation, she slowly reached out and pulled open the door. Then Li Xiwu froze. She didnt know what word to use to describe the little boy crouched behind the door. Probably soft? But the soft little face was tense, especially after she pulled open the door. He stared at her defensively, as if warning her not to approach. rne aault ana cnila scarea at eacn orner ror a rew seconas. Then Li Xiwu slowly pulled the door closed again and said to Madam Di Xin, who was still looking for a child, Hes here. Hearing this, Madam Di Xin rushed over. Where? Li Xiwu pointed behind the door. Madam Di Xin quickly pulled open the door. Li Xiwu looked over again. She thought that the little boy was very guarded against strangers. That was why his soft little face had tightened when he saw her just now. Li Xiwu was silent until Madam Di Xin pulled the door open. The little boys face was as tense as ever. Yaoyao. Madam Di Xin knelt down and reached for the little boy behind the door. Li Xiwu thought that the two of them would communicate in the language of Country T. To her surprise, Madam Di Xin still spoke to the little boy in very standard Mandarin. Yaoyao. Come to Grandma. The boy was unmoved. His unhappy little face was also a little pale, looking a little pitiful. Madam Di Xin was gentle and patient. Yaoyao. If you really resist this place, lets go home, okay? The word home made the boys eyes light up. But he still hadnt come out. Madam Di Xin tried her best to coax the child out, but she couldnt bear to say anything harsh. In the end, she had no choice but to get up and beg Li Xiwu for help. Li Xiwu raised an eyebrow. Me? Madam Di Xin said, Try it. Li Xiwu smiled faintly and declined tactfully. I cant. I have to go. Please, Miss Li, Madam Di Xin said. How will you know if you dont try? Yaoyao will like you. Li Xiwu was speechless. She wondered why Madam Di Xin sounded so certain. She glanced silently at the little boy, who was now crouched on the ground, his eyelashes lowered and focused on the ground. Li Xiwu sighed, then walked forward and squatted in front of the boy. Hello, she said stiffly. The boy didnt even look up. He ignored her. Li Xiwus jaw tightened as she composed her tone. Is there anything you want to eat? The moment that was said, the silent boy suddenly looked up at Li Xiwu in confusion. Their eyes met, caught off guard. Li Xiwu was stunned again. Beside her, Madam Di Xin was still encouraging her. Miss Li, continue to coax him and make him come out willingly. Li Xiwu took a deep breath, feeling that this was a difficult responsibility. I The next second, the boy buried his head again, sullen and ignoring everyone. Li Xiwu thought for a few seconds and said, Can I treat you to candied hawthorn? The boy raised his head again, his big eyes blank. Candied hawthorn? Madam Di Xin quickly explained, Yaoyao grew up in Country T and has never come into contact with these. Li Xiwu looked at the little boys appearance. He did not look like someone from Country T at all.. Chapter 208 - Chapter 208: Suppression from Pei Jingzhou, Give Up Struggling Chapter 208: Suppression from Pei Jingzhou, Give Up Struggling Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu was wondering if she should order candied hawthorn from her phone or go out to buy it herself. The cute little guy said one word to Li Xiwu Hug. Li Xiwu was stunned. She didnt know how to react for the time being. Behind her, Madam Di Xin reminded her, Miss Li, he wants you to hug him. Hurry up and hug him. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. She was not very good at carrying children, but she could not refuse a childs request. She gritted her teeth and stretched out her hands stiffly. Bit by bit, she slowly carried the little guy over. The kid was a little heavy. But it was still easy to pick him up. Just as Li Xiwu exerted a little strength and was about to pick up Yaoyao, Yaoyao stretched out his small arms and wrapped them around Li Xiwus neck. He asked her, Who are you? Li Xiwu didnt know the little guys seniority. She turned to look at Madam Di Xin. Madam Di Xin said, Yaoyao is my grandson. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows in surprise. Madam Di Xin had such a young grandson? Logically speaking, Madam Di Xins grandson should be about the same age as her, and the little guy should be her great-grandson. However, since Madam Di Xin said so, Li Xiwu naturally would not ask curiously. According to seniority, she said to the little guy, You can call me Sister. With that, Yaoyao immediately let go and retreated, keeping a distance from Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu could tell from the little guys resisting expression that he didnt want to call her Sister. She smiled faintly. You can call me by my name too. My name is Li Xiwu. Yaoyao didnt say anything. Li Xiwu continued, The candied hawthorn tastes sour and sweet. The icing is crispy. Do you want to eat it? If you do, cooperate with the doctor for a checkup first. Ill go buy you the candied hawthorn now. Yaoyao refused. I dont want it. This rejection was decisive and firm. Li Xiwu, who had thought that she could coax the child with good food, immediately became helpless. She pursed her lips in silence for a few seconds, then slowly stood up. She took half a step back and turned to Madam Di Xin. Im sorry, Madam Di Xin. Since the little guy did not like her, Li Xiwu could not think of any way to coax the little guy into liking her. She could only explain it to Madam Di Xin and turn to leave. If she did not go back, Auntie would be anxious. Seeing that Li Xiwu was about to leave, Madam Di Xin was a little anxious. Miss Li At this moment, Yaoyao, who was squatting behind the door, suddenly stood up and ran out while no one was looking. Quick! The little guy has escaped! Madam The doctor and bodyguard spoke at the same time. In a moment of panic, Madam Di Xin clutched at the dull pain in her heart. Quick, quick, get Yaoyao back. The bodyguard immediately chased after him. Li Xiwu didnt expect the little guy to do this, and she couldnt stop him in time. Those short legs ran so fast that he was gone in the blink of an eye. The bodyguard chased after him and looked around. Finally, they split up and made arrangements. You go to the stairwell. Ill go this way. After the two bodyguards left separately, Yaoyao, who squatted behind a cluster of loose-tailed sunflowers in the corner, slowly stood up and saw someone passing by. He obediently followed behind them quietly. He looked like someone elses child. That would not attract attention. In the childrens department. The doctor frowned. This wont do. We have to get Madam Di Xin to take a look at the cardiology department. Ill get the nurse to come quickly. Li Xiwu nodded. The nurse quickly rushed over. When she was about to help Madam Di Xin away, Madam Di Xin took Li Xiwus hand. Find Yaoyao. Li Xiwu couldnt say anything too definite. Ill try. Madam Di Xin didnt let go, and Li Xiwu couldnt pull back. The doctor said that they could not delay it, so he asked Li Xiwu to accompany him to the Cardiology Department first. Li Xiwu agreed without hesitation. Sure. Meanwhile, the elevator door on the floor slowly opened. Pei Jingzhou was about to walk out of the elevator when a small shadow rushed in and hit his leg! Ouch The boy crashed flat on his back. He covered his head and cried out in a coquettish voice. Chen Xin asked worriedly, Mr. Pei, are you alright? Pei Jingzhou gestured for Chen Xin to look at the little guy who had fallen to the ground. Chen Xin quickly went forward and helped the little guy up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he helped him up, the back of Chen Xins hand was bitten. Chen Xin said in disbelief, Hey, this kid bites! After saying that, he quickly waved his hand and looked at the back of his hand. There was a row of small teeth marks. Actually, being bitten didnt hurt that much. It was just the first time a child had bitten him. Chen Xin was quite surprised. Pei Jingzhou frowned. Carry him out of the elevator first. Chen Xin did so. However, the little guy was very stubborn and resisted anyones touch. When Chen Xin was about to reach out to hug him, he used his short hands to punch and kick him. Chen Xin placed a hand on the top of the little guys head. No matter how the little guy punched and kicked, it was only air. It could not even touch his clothes. Chen Xin didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Mr. Pei, look at this kid. Hes not very big, but he has a bad temper. He was being mocked. Yaoyao took the hand off his head and opened his mouth to bite. However, this time, he took a bite of air. Not only did he take a bite of air, but he also felt his body floating in the air! Pei Jingzhou held the little guys back collar with one hand and carried him out of the elevator before it closed. Chen Xin followed him out and saw Mr. Pei, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, carrying a little boy who was more than a meter tall in one hand. He looked extremely like a furious father going out to look for his playful son and preparing to bring him home to teach him a lesson. Chen Xin shook his head violently. What was he thinking? It was very difficult for Miss Li and Mr. Peis child to mature without seven or eight years. Pei Jingzhou carried the little guy and took a few steps away. He watched as the little guy gradually gave up and gave up struggling. Pei Jingzhou looked at him. Not fooling around anymore? The kid said nothing, his head drooping. Pei Jingzhou put the little guy down. Although he controlled his strength, the little guy still lost his balance and fell to the ground. He let out another ouch. Pei Jingzhou crossed his arms and looked down. Stand up yourself. The child did not seem to hear him and was indifferent. Pei Jingzhou repeated, Stand up. In the next second, the child stood uD reluctantlv. Pei Jingzhou ordered, Pat your pants clean. The child pouted, on the verge of tears. Pei Jingzhou said in a low voice, Dont cry. The little guy looked up at Pei Jingzhou. His grape-sized black eyes were clear and bright, revealing ignorance and childish stupidity! The adult and child looked at each other. Pei Jingzhous expression was serious and dignified. The little guy felt wronged. His mouth flattened and he looked like he was about to cry. Chen Xin, who had followed over, almost couldnt help but laugh when he saw this scene.. He suppressed his laughter and said Chapter 209 - Chapter 209: Han Ojanye: This Is My Biological Grandson! Chapter 209: Han Ojanye: This Is My Biological Grandson! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Those who dont know might think that Mr. Pei is lecturing his son. With that, Chen Xin took a closer look at the little guys eyebrows and chuckled. This little guy looks quite similar to Mr. Pei. Look at his nose and eyes. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at Chen Xin. Chen Xin silently shut his mouth. Pei Jingzhou instructed, Keep an eye on him and send him back to his parents as soon as possible. Chen Xin nodded. Okay, Mr. Pei. After giving his instructions, Pei Jingzhou was about to leave when his second step suddenly became heavy. Pei Jingzhou lowered his head and saw that the little guy, who had an indignant expression just now, suddenly hugged his thigh and sat on his shoe like a little koala. Pei Jingzhou: Chen Xin, who was holding back his laughter: Pei Jingzhou, who had never interacted much with children, did not think that he would have any patience with children unless they were his and Li Xiwus children. This little guy had already made him lose his patience He leaned over and picked him up again, just like before. However, this time, the little guy learned his lesson. Just as Pei Jingzhou picked him up and was about to hand him to Chen Xin, the little guy hugged Pei Jingzhous arm and threw himself into his arms, hugging Pei Jingzhous neck tightly. Pei Jingzhou closed his eyes tightly and said in a low voice, Let go. The kid didnt move. And so, after a few minutes of stalemate, Chen Xin went to the entire hospital to report to the broadcast to find the little guys family. Pei Jingzhou had no choice but to bring the little guy over first. Han Qianye, who had been waiting anxiously, was about to go to the bathroom to look for Li Xiwu when she turned around and saw her son walking over with a child. Han Qianye hurriedly walked to Pei Jingzhou and asked, Whose child is this? Pei Jingzhou replied indifferently, I dont know. Han Qianye was slightly surprised. If you dont know, why are you still hugging him? Pei Jingzhou said, Ask him. Han Qianye was stunned. Ask him? From this angle, Han Qianye could not see the little guys face. She deliberately went behind Pei Jingzhou to see what the little guy looked like. She wouldnt have known if she hadnt seen it, but she was shocked when she saw it. The little guy wrapped his arms tightly around Pei Jingzhous neck. His soft face was tense and his lips were pursed. He quietly looked at the other unfamiliar face in front of him. Han Qianye was dumbfounded. You, you, you, you At this moment, Han Qianyes mood was like being struck by lightning. She circled back and stood in front of Pei Jingzhou. She questioned angrily, Bastard! Who did you have an illegitimate child with outside? Pei Jingzhou: Han Qianye asked again, Bastard, quickly tell me who you had an illegitimate child with outside. Pei Jingzhou closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he sighed helplessly. I dont know him. Han Qianye was furious. She pointed at the little boy on Pei Jingzhou. You dont know him? If you dont know him, how can he look so much like you when you were young? Pei Jingzhou was expressionless. Han Qianye continued, Although I didnt take care of you after giving birth to you three siblings, I remember your appearance when you were young. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. So? Han Qianye widened her eyes and was extremely anxious. Youre muddle -headed! How could you even have an illegitimate child? If Xixi finds out about this, how will you explain it? Also, this child looks to be three or four years old, right? Did you cheat on her? Pei Jingzhou: Then the little guy slowly turned his head around. Han Qianye looked worried. When the little guy turned around and met her eyes, the worry on her face immediately disappeared. Oh, oh, oh. This was her biological grandson! However, thinking about it now, she had tried her best to ease her relationship with Li Xiwu, afraid that Li Xiwu would take the money and divorce her son after the recording of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show ended. Seeing that their relationship was getting better and better, in the end, an illegitimate child appeared out of nowhere! Han Qianye resisted in her heart. She suppressed the anger at the side of her heart and tried to talk to her son calmly. What do you think now? Are you going to let Xixi know about this bastard? Make her a stepmother? Because he knew nothing about the little guys identity, Pei Jingzhou said the same thing. He i s not my son. It has nothing to do with me. Han Qianyes suppressed anger immediately rose again. You still say that it has nothing to do with you. Do you think you can lie to your biological mother? Look at the little guys face yourself. Its completely a replica of your childhood. Pei Jingzhous jaw tightened. I told you, he has nothing to do with me. Han Qianye choked. She thought to herself that he was really stubborn. Just as she was about to say something, the little guy kicked his short legs and wanted to come down. Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at the little guy. His eyes were cold, indicating Pei Jingzhou s current mood. The kids mouth tightened. In the end, Pei Jingzhou compromised and slowly bent down to put him down. The little guy turned around and was about to run away when Pei Jingzhou grabbed the little guys collar. Dont run around. Chen Xin rushed back. Mr. Pei, I found it. Pei Jingzhou leaned over and picked the little guy up. He handed him to Chen Xin. Make sure not to hand him to the wrong person. Chen Xin hugged the struggling little guy and replied, Okay. Seeing that the little guy was about to be carried away, Han Qianye hurriedly shouted, What are you doing? Where are you carrying him? Chen Xin turned around and was about to answer when Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and gestured. Return him to them as soon as possible. Chen Xin nodded and left in a hurry with the little guy. Han Qianye watched helplessly as her biological grandson was carried away. She turned around and asked Pei Jingzhou, Where are you sending your son? Pei Jingzhou was distraught and did not want to continue this unrelated topic. Wheres my wife? Han Qianye said, Oh, Xixi went to the bathroom. Pei Jingzhou walked towards the bathroom. Han Qianye stood rooted to the ground in a daze. On her left was her grandson, who had just been carried away somewhere. On her right was Xixi, who had not come out of the bathroom. She hesitated for two seconds before looking for Xixi. She had just taken a step when the phone in her hand buzzed. It was a call from Li Xiwu. Han Qianye quickly picked it up. Xixi, are you out? Why didnt I see you? Li Xiwu said, I just happened to meet Madam Di Xin. There was a small accident. Madam Di Xin is doing a checkup. Ill be back soon. When Han Qianye heard that Madam Di Xin was in the hospital and that Xixi had happened to bump into her, she immediately became worried. Ill come over and take a look immediately. Li Xiwu said, No need. Madam Di Xin is fine now. Ill come back now. Han Qianye agreed first. Oh, okay. Ill wait for you here. Li Xiwu said, Mhm. After ending the call, Han Qianye swiped the screen and planned to call Pei Jingzhou to tell him. Just as she was about to make the call, she suddenly thought of the surprise. Han Qianye cursed, Hmph, Ill let you search slowly. Bastard, you created an illegitimate child. Im so angry.. Chapter 210 - Chapter 210: Yaoyao is an Orphan, Unidentified Chapter 210: Yaoyao is an Orphan, Unidentified Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On the cardiology side. Madam Di Xins emotions had yet to stabilize. She looked a little weak, her usual spirit gone. I was supposed to bring Yaoyao for a checkup, but well, I collapsed first. There was fatigue in Madam Di Xins voice. Li Xiwu comforted her. The doctor said youll be fine after a rest. Madam Di Xin smiled faintly. The doctor also said thats how it is with age. Taking advantage of the fact that Madam Di Xin was still in good spirits to chat, Li Xiwu asked, Is the little guy your biological grandson? Madam Di Xin told the truth. His name is Yaoyao. Yao is the word for bite. Yaoyao is an orphan before adoption. Li Xiwu was stunned. Orphan? Madam Di Xin nodded slowly. Yes. After Li Xiwu was stunned, she suggested kindly, Yaoyao is a little antisocial. You have to get the doctor to adjust his mentality as soon as possible so that as he grows up, his autism will not become worse. Madam Di Xin said, Ive always been the only one accompanying him. This time, I didnt go back immediately when I came to the Capital. Yaoyao made a big fuss, so I brought him to the Capital. Hes still adapting these two days, so his mental state isnt very good. Li Xiwu expressed her understanding. Ten minutes passed. Finally, Yaoyao was found. At the same time, Li Xiwu heaved a sigh of relief. Li Xiwu called Han Qianye back, planning to leave after they sent Yaoyao back. A moment later, someone came in with a bite. Madam Di Xin, Ive sent your grandson back. Remember to take good care of him. If he gets lost again, you might not meet us. Li Xiwu listened to this familiar voice and felt that it was a little like Chen Xins voice. Thinking about it carefully, she felt that it shouldnt be such a coincidence. She turned around. It was really Chen Xin! At this moment, the two bodyguards were behind Chen Xin. In his arms was someone who had been caught after escaping. Then, he gave up struggling after struggling. Chen Xin followed Mr. Peis words and confirmed the other partys identity. He would hand him over if he was the little guys relative. In the end, he found out that the other party was actually Madam Di Xin, so Chen Xin personally sent the little guy back. However, Chen Xin did not expect to see his lady boss standing in front of him the moment he entered. He was dumbfounded. Why was Miss Li with Madam Di Xin? As he was thinking, the little guy in his arms suddenly reached out to Li Xiwu and said in a soft voice, Hug. Li Xiwu was stunned and did not react for a moment. Yaoyao repeated the word. Hug. Chen Xin was the first to react. He quickly went forward and handed the little guy to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu was still surprised by the fact that Chen Xin was the one who sent the little guy back when the little guy was right in front of her. Compared to the first time she carried the little guy, she was much more natural this time. As Yaoyao pounced into her arms, he turned around and bared his fangs and brandished his claws at Chen Xin fiercely. Chen Xin smiled. Miss Li, hes so cute. Yaoyao: Blah, blah, blah. Li Xiwu looked down at the little guy in her arms. The little guy also sensed that Li Xiwu was looking at him. He retracted his short hands and lay obediently and quietly in Li Xiwus arms. However, his soft face was filled with grievance. What a strange little fellow. The first time they met, she thought he was timid and afraid of strangers. But in the blink of an eye, he took the initiative to ask her to hug him. More than once. Li Xiwus lips curled up unknowingly. She looked up at Chen Xin. Why did you send Yaoyao back? Chen Xin did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, Yaoyao? Could it be the word bite? Li Xiwu nodded. Chen Xin raised his hand and showed Li Xiwu the faint bite mark on the back of his hand. This little guy bit me the moment he saw me. No wonder hes called this. Its just like his name. When he finished, he explained why hed sent the child back. Only then did Li Xiwu know from Chen Xin that Pei Jingzhou had also come to the hospital. Assistant Chen, go back first. Ill come over after handing Yaoyao to Madam Di Xin, Li Xiwu said. Chen Xin glanced behind Li Xiwu. Madam Di Xin must have been frightened just now. Her face was so haggard. Fortunately, the little guy bumped into Mr. Pei first. Although Mr. Pei was impatient, he carefully reminded him to confirm his identity before returning the little guy to his family. Chen Xin could not stay any longer. He nodded at Madam Di Xin and turned to leave first. Li Xiwu carried Yaoyao to Madam Di Xin and slowly put him down. Unexpectedly, Yaoyao clung to Li Xiwu like an octopus. Seeing this, Madam Di Xin smiled. Miss Li, Yaoyao really likes you. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said to Yaoyao, I have to go back. Come down first. Yaoyao remained unmoved and scrabbled at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu was at ease with adults. But she seemed at a loss with children, especially since she had never been entangled with children. At this moment, Madam Di Xin said to her, Miss Li, can I trouble you with something? Li Xiwu couldnt let go of Yaoyao, so she could only hug him first. When she heard Madam Di Xins words, she didnt agree immediately. Instead, she said, Tell me what it is first. Madam Di Xin said, Can I trouble you to take care of Yaoyao? It made sense that Li Xiwu did not respond directly. Hearing this request, she flatly refused. Im afraid I cant. Madam Di Xin continued, Im not asking you to stay and watch over him. You can take Yaoyao away. Ill pick him up when Im better. Now Li Xiwu hesitated. Take Yaoyao away? Should she bring him back to Lake Lu? Madam Di Xin explained, In my current state, I cant take good care of Yaoyao. In addition, Yaoyao was adopted by me. Without me, he cant stay with my daughter. Miss Li, you and I hit it off at first sight and I also told you about the situation of Yaoyao. Please help me. Ill come and pick him up later. Madam Di Xin spoke sincerely. But Li Xiwu had her own concerns. This was a temporary responsibility. Other things should be okay, but taking care of the child Im sorry to have troubled Miss Li. Just place Yaoyao by the bed, Madam Di Xin said softly, giving up on this plan. Li Xiwu nodded and put Yaoyao down. But Yaoyao didnt let go no matter what. Seeing this, Madam Di Xin reprimanded softly, Yaoyao, come down quickly. Yaoyao remained unmoved, holding Li Xiwu tightly. Li Xiwu met the little guys big confused eyes and hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, her heart softened. Han Qianye waited for Li Xiwu to return. When Li Xiwu slowly approached, Han Qianye realized that Li Xiwu was carrying a little boy. At that moment, Han Qianye had a bad feeling. When she saw the little boy in Li Xiwus arms, her vision darkened and she almost fainted.. What a sin Chapter 211 - Chapter 211: Han Qianye Quietly Go For A DNA Test Chapter 211: Han Qianye Quietly Go For A DNA Test Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Han Qianye was worried about Li Xiwus body and hurriedly went forward to take the little guy Xixi, whose child is this? Li Xiwu said, His name is Yaoyao. Hes Madam Di Xins grandson. Han Qianyes outstretched hand paused. She was going to probe. In the end Han Qianye asked again with uncertainty, Is he Madam Di Xins grandson? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Han Qianye looked carefully at the little guy in Li Xiwus arms. He was still wearing the same clothes and had not changed his shoes. She just did not see his face. Han Qianye turned around to take a look and confirmed that it was really the little guy from before. The smile on Han Qianyes face became very dry. This is the first time Ive seen Madam Di Xins grandson. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. This is the first time Ive seen him today. Han Qianye fell silent. She thought about it and still felt that something was wrong, but she also knew that some things could not be said carelessly. This child looked like Jingzhou when he was young, which indeed surprised her, especially when Jingzhou was holding this little guy just now. At that time, she immediately insisted that this was Jingzhous illegitimate son. But if this was Madam Di Xins grandson, then it might be really just a resemblance. Or did she want a grandson so much that she was in a daze? When she got back later, she would have to dig out her old photo album and compare it. Han Qianye took out her phone and walked behind Li Xiwu. Little guy, youre so cute. Of course I have to take a photo of you and leave you in my phone. Come and look at the camera. Smile. Yaoyao: ( ) O Han Qianye: After taking the photo, Han Qianye reached out and touched the little guys head kindly. Yaoyao was very resistant and wanted to avoid Han Qianyes touch. Han Qianye was suddenly shocked and said in self-reproach, Aiyaya, Im sorry, Im sorry. The ring on my finger hooked your hair. Yaoyao felt a twinge of pain. But it didnt hurt to the point of crying. He frowned and hugged Li Xiwus neck tightly, looking for comfort. But there was no comfort. Only the back of his collar was grabbed again!! Pei Jingzhou pulled Yaoyao from Li Xiwus arms and hugged him with one hand. Why did you bring him here? With her hands empty, Li Xiwu felt much more relaxed. Seeing that the little guy did not struggle or cry when he entered Pei Jingzhous arms, but looked very aggrieved, she explained the reason. Madam Di Xin handed Yaoyao to me to take care of. She i ll pick him up later. I have time in the afternoon, so I agreed. Pei Jingzhou did not ask anything else. Instead, he asked, Do you know how to take care of children? Li Xiwus eyes were gentle. Nothing is innate. Its the same with children. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at the little guy in his arms. 1 heard your name is Yaoyao, and its the word Bite. Yaoyao looked at Pei Jingzhou quietly. He did not seem to be afraid of Pei Jingzhous gaze at all. Pei Jingzhou said, If you stay by my wifes side, you have to listen to her. Yaoyao glanced aside and said word by word in a muffled voice, Im not worth anything. Pei Jingzhou said, Dont worry, Ill definitely sell you for a good price. Yaoyao looked at Li Xiwu aggrievedly. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. Alright, dont scare him. Pei Jingzhou looked at the little guy who was about to cry and smiled. He had already learned from Chen Xin that Madam Di Xin was anxious because her grandson had gone missing. He was her grandson, yet she did not entrust him to her daughter but to Li Xiwu, so he naturally had to investigate further. As he was thinking, Pei Jingzhou suddenly felt a sharp pain in his scalp. Han Qianye walked forward and said with a smile, Jingzhou, look at how tired you usually are. Your hair has turned white at such a young age. Ill pull it out for you. Pei Jingzhou frowned and said nothing. A few minutes later, Li Xiwu hugged Yaoyao and got into the car. Han Qianye got into another car that came to pick her up. Just as she was about to close the door, Pei Jingzhou, who had come over, pressed the door and said indifferently, Is a strand of hair enough? Han Qianyes expression froze. Pei Jingzhou kindly reminded her, The less hair there is, the less DNA will be extracted. Theres also a possibility that it cant be extracted. Han Qianye smiled awkwardly. Why dont I understand what youre saying? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. First, you pretended to hook the little guys hair with a ring. Then, you turned around and pulled out a strand of my hair. Mom, what are you trying to do? Han Qianye braced herself. Ive already explained that the ring pulled out the little guys hair by accident and not on purpose. It was white hair that was pulled out for you. It just so happened that there was only one strand. Are you still angry? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Then remember to inform me of the results when you find out. Han Qianye heard this tone and felt that it was not the case. Well see. Pei Jingzhou closed the car door and returned to the car in front. Han Qianye also heaved a sigh of relief. The driver in front asked, Are we going back to the Tan Hua Mansion, maam? Han Qianye looked up and saw that the car in front of her had already driven away. She was prepared to get out of the car. I left something at the hospital. I have to go back and get it now. With that, Han Qianye took her bag. She opened it, found the crumpled handkerchief paper, picked it up, and spread it carefully. On the crumpled tissue lay two strands of hair. She couldnt be blamed for being paranoid. It was never wrong to be cautious. She wrapped the paper ball and returned to the hospital. Meanwhile, in the car back to Lake Lu. Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou sat on one side, Yaoyao sitting in the middle. Several times, Yaoyao tried to climb onto Li Xiwus lap, hoping that Li Xiwu would hug him, but he was so frightened by Pei Jingzhou l s words that he did not dare to move. Do you want to be sold? Yaoyao was angry and glared at Pei Jingzhou fiercely. Pei Jingzhou said, What are you staring at? Shes my wife. She can only hug me. Yaoyao: Li Xiwu suppressed the smile on her lips. After suppressing it for a while, she couldnt help but say, Four-year-old Pei, do you know that youre very childish?! Pei Jingzhou disagreed. Am I childish? Li Xiwu nodded firmly. Pei Jingzhou said, Its okay. Only you know anyway. Li Xiwu: Back at Lake Lu. On the way upstairs, Pei Jingzhou was in charge of hugging Yaoyao. Li Xiwu walked quietly by the side. At first glance, it looked like a family of three. It was filled with warmth. Along the way, Pei Jingzhou did not mention anything about her going to the Li Mansion today. Li Xiwu could not tell what he was thinking, so she naturally would not take the initiative to mention it. They were finally home. After Pei Jingzhou put Yaoyao down, he stood at the entrance and refused to enter. Pei Jingzhou did not have much patience with children. After shouting twice, the little guy still did not enter, so Pei Jingzhou ignored him. Li Xiwu had already entered first. She opened the snack cabinet at home and took out several snacks. When she came over with the snacks, she did not see Yaoyao. She only saw Pei Jingzhou standing at the bar pouring water.. Chapter 212 - Chapter 212: Not a Substitute Chapter 212: Not a Substitute Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu asked, Wheres Yaoyao? Pei Jingzhou said, Hes standing at the entrance, unwilling to come in. Li Xiwu walked to the entrance and took a look. Yaoyao squatted there and looked at her pitifully. Li Xiwu put the snacks aside and went to Yaoyao. Yaoyao, whats wrong? When she communicated with the little guy, Li Xiwu did not realize that her voice had become very gentle. It was a rare gentleness from the inside out. Yaoyao did not speak, so she pulled Yaoyao up. Yaoyao didnt cooperate, so she picked him up. Then, she carried Yaoyao over and placed him on the sofa. She squatted down in front of Yaoyao and opened all the snacks. She placed them in front of Yaoyao. Here, eat whatever you like. If theres nothing you like here, you can Most of these snacks were brought by Qiao Qiao last time. Yaoyao did not refuse the snacks. He chose a bag of chips from the snacks Li Xiwu had opened. Li Xiwu smiled gently. Sure enough, children like to eat potato chips. Yaoyao picked up an incomplete chip from the potato chip bag. He was about to give it to Li Xiwu. She remembered the phrase, Try not to refuse something given by a child. She was about to reach out to take it. At this moment, Yaoyao suddenly retracted his hand and stuffed the potato chip into his mouth. Crack, crack, crack. There was the crisp sound of crisp chips. Li Xiwu smiled. Of course she wouldnt be angry. Although she had never interacted much with children, it was normal for children to be eccentric. Just as she was thinking this, she saw Yaoyao carefully find a complete potato chip from the potato chip bag. This time, she looked carefully and confirmed that it was very complete before giving it to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu thought the little guy was teasing her again and cooperated by reaching out to take it. To her surprise, the little guy did not take the chip back this time. She also noticed that it was a complete potato chip. It was a piece the little guy had carefully selected for her. Li Xiwu was surprised that she didnt eat it. The cracking sound suddenly stopped and Yaoyao looked at Li Xiwu quietly. Li Xiwu guessed, Do you want to change to a different flavor? Yaoyao said softly, Arent you eating? So thafs what he meant, Li Xiwu thought. She stuffed the chip into her mouth, then asked, Do you want to watch TV? Ill watch TV with you for a while. Yaoyao nodded. So Li Xiwu turned on the television and found a cartoon. M/hen she tuned it, she paid attention to the expression of Yaoyao. When it stopped on the cover of a cartoon, Yaoyaos reaction was the most obvious, which meant that he wanted to watch that cartoon. Not long after it started playing, Qiao Qiao called. Before answering the phone, Li Xiwu called Pei Jingzhou over. Take a look at Yaoyao. Pei Jingzhou agreed reluctantly. Yaoyao was so focused on watching television that he did not notice that the person sitting beside him had changed. When he was laughing happily, he fell onto Pei Jingzhous lap. Sensing that something was wrong, he opened his big eyes and looked up. Pei Jingzhou: Yaoyao: The two of them were speechless. Yaoyao quickly got up and sat back down. Pei Jingzhou patted his pants and smoothed out the creases. Both of them despised each other. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou reached out for the remote control and casually switched to the financial channel. Yaoyao puffed out his cheeks aggrievedly. Pei Jingzhou watched and said indifferently, If you have the ability, cry. Yaoyao felt even more aggrieved. Bad guy. Pei Jingzhou sneered. If I were a bad person, I would be counting the money I earned from selling you. Yaoyao looked up. His soft face was filled with emotions. He looked at Pei Jingzhou anxiously and asked, Will you really sell me? Pei Jingzhou said, Not bad. This time, you said five words in one go. I thought you had speech retardation. Yaoyao didnt know what speech retardation was, but he wouldnt ask. Because it seemed embarrassing to ask. His face was only so big. He couldnt lose it again. On the terrace outside the bedroom, Li Xiwu was on the phone with Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao, who was grounded in the hotel, was fighting with Qiao Jingmo from morning to night, thinking of ways to slip away. There were five days in total. It had only been a day and she was going crazy. After fighting for most of the day, by the time she had time to look at her phone, Li Xiwu was back from the hospital. Qiao Qiao asked a bunch of worried questions. Li Xiwu told her everything she remembered at the time, except what happened after she fainted. She wasnt too sure. Qiao Qiao was shocked. Did they really knock you out in broad daylight? Li Xiwu said, But Im fine. Qiao Qiao said, This isnt about being fine. This is about calling the police. Does Pei Jingzhou know? Did he call the police for you? Were those two arrested at the police station? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. None of these happened. Qiao Qiao was furious. That wont do. We cant let them get away with it. Li Xiwu knew what Qiao Qiao was worried about, but this concerned the reputation of the Li Mansion. The other party had probably grasped this key point, which was why they had taken action today. If it were before, Li Xiwu might not have cared so much about the reputation of the Li Mansion. It was a threat to her life. But now, she had to take care of it. Li Xiwu chose to tell Qiao Qiao something from the bottom of her heart. Actually, I have some doubts about my background. This matter also involves my background. Qiao Qiao immediately fell silent. Li Xiwu continued, My background seems a little complicated. I should have been through a lot, but I forgot about it later. Qiao Qiao asked suspiciously, Then who do you suspect you are? Li Xiwu said, I suspect that Im Li You. Qiao Qiao: Atter interacting with her tor so long, Qiao Qiao knew Li Xiwu very well. Li Xiwu wouldnt say anything she wasnt confident of in advance. Since she said it, it meant that she was confident. However, what shocked Qiao Qiao even more was that the person Li Xiwu had just mentioned was Li You! That was Li You! If Qiao Qiao and Li Xiwu were just ordinary friends, Qiao Qiao would have laughed by now. Why was Li You involved in the scam? She was Uncle Li l s daughter, a diplomat as outstanding as Uncle Li! But now that she heard this speculation from Li Xiwu, Qiao Qiao believed it without hesitation. I didnt think about it carefully, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized so many details. Youre an orphan, and your surname is Li. Moreover, you look like Li You. Especially since your current educational background is on a completely different level from your actual performance. After analyzing, Qiao Qiao was curious about something else. But why did you lose your memory? Could it be because you were in danger when you evacuated overseas during the turmoil in Country T? You didnt die in the line of duty, but were saved, but you lost your memory when you woke up? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Im not sure whats going on yet. Qiao Qiao suddenly realized.. Then if youre Li You, you know, right? Youre actually not a substitute at all Chapter 213 - Chapter 213: Getting the Truth From Pei Jingzhou Chapter 213: Getting the Truth From Pei Jingzhou Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao went on and on. But in the end, it was only her guess. If Pei Jingzhous former lover was Li You, and you happened to be Li You who had lost her memory, then the substitute doesnt exist at all. Li Xiwu listened quietly without speaking. Qiao Qiao shouted, Bae? Li Xiwu answered, 1 1 m listening. Qiao Qiao asked, What do you think? On the other end of the line, Li Xiwus expression was indifferent and distant. I just suspect that Im Li You. Before I find out, I cant be too sure. Qiao Qiaos voice softened a little Thats true. After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Qiao suddenly thought of an idea. I have a nasty trick. Li Xiwu said, Im all ears. Qiao Qiao smiled. In the past, you didnt suspect your background, so you naturally didnt think of getting information out of him. Now that youre suspicious, go and talk to Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou is such a cautious person, so it probably wont be easy to get information out of him. Youll either use a honey trap or get him drunk. This should be more direct and effective than you trying to find out. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Its indeed a nasty trick. Although it sounded bad, it was not completely unusable. She had indeed never doubted her background in the past. Now that she had experienced all kinds of things and suspected her background, the time to investigate would be very slow. She might even be hindered. However, it was indeed a good suggestion for her to ask Pei Jingzhou. However, the success rate was probably very, very low. At the end of the conversation, the conversation ended. Li Xiwu instructed Qiao Qiao, Take care of yourself. Qiao Qiao said, Qiao Jingmo fed me four times a day. Although my mind is being tortured, my body is very good. Li Xiwu was relieved to hear that. When she ended the call with Qiao Qiao and put away her phone, she noticed the time. It was past five-thirty. Night came quickly after winter. When she looked up, she realized that the sky was already dark. Li Xiwu quietly looked at the night sky and recalled the people she had come into contact with one after another since she went on the variety show. Now that she thought about it, they were all people she usually did not come into contact with easily. Pei Jingzhou had never allowed her to enter the entertainment industry as an actress because he did not want her to appear on the big screen one day. At first, she understood that the status of a rich wife was not suitable for her to appear on the stage of the entertainment industry. After those celebrities squeezed their heads out and married into wealthy families, they would immediately retire to take care of their husbands and children. But now that she thought about it, she must have misunderstood. Li Xiwu opened the takeout software and ordered dinner. She came in from the terrace and left her phone in the bedroom before opening the door and going out. The contents of the financial channel were playing on the television. At some point, the original cartoon had been changed. If Pei Jingzhou was not still sitting on the sofa, Li Xiwu would have mistaken Yaoyao for accidentally changing the channel. She came over and stood quietly beside the sofa. Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways. Youre done with the call. Li Xiwu nodded and asked, Why did you change it to a financial channel? Pei Jingzhou tilted his head towards the aggrieved Yaoyao. He said he wanted to watch it. Li Xiwn: After a moment of speechlessness, Li Xiwu picked up the remote control beside Pei Jingzhou and switched the financial channel back to the cartoon. As the cartoon was switched back, the resentment on Yaoyaos face quickly disappeared. Pei Jingzhou stood up and walked to Li Xiwus side. He said in a jealous tone, You dote on him quite a lot. Li Xiwu replied matter-of-factly, Yaoyao is a child and a guest. You cant be harsh on a child, nor can you neglect a guest. Good point. Pei Jingzhou glanced at the quiet and obedient child sitting on the sofa. The few smiles I saw on your face today were all because of this kid. Li Xiwu corrected him. What do you mean by this kid? His name is Yaoyao. Pei Jingzhou continued to be jealous. I dont know him. Li Xiwu said, Didnt I say that Yaoyao is Madam Di Xins grandson? Pei Jingzhou asked, Then do you know this kids full name? Li Xiwu was suddenly stumped. It seemed that Madam Di Xin really did not say what Yaoyaos name was. Li Xiwu pushed Pei Jingzhou away and walked to the front of the sofa. She sat down beside Yaoyao. Yaoyao turned around and looked at Li Xiwu, who was sitting beside him. His big eyes were sparkling. Li Xiwus voice was especially gentle when she asked, Yaoyao, whats your name? The twinkling stars in Yaoyaos eyes dimmed a little, and his small mouth tightened without answering. Although Li Xiwu was meticulous, she could not guess the little guys purest thoughts. Do you know how to write your name? Yaoyao shook his head. Li Xiwu wasnt sure. You cant write? Yaoyao turned to look at Pei Jingzhou and saw that he had gone to get water. After confirming that he could not hear him, he told Li Xiwu in a muffled voice, I only know ten Chinese characters. Li Xiwu guessed correctly and said with a smile, Is it one two three four five six seven eight nine? Yaoyao nodded. Because the numbers from one to ten were the simplest. In addition, he had grown up in Country T and basically recognized Country Ts words. Li Xiwu was not too surprised. Yaoyao was a child adopted by Madam Di Xin. After all, not all native family members would accept an outsider without reservation, even if it was just a child. Thinking of this, Li Xiwu suddenly realized that other than not knowing the name of Yaoyao, she did not know how old he was. She asked, Do you know how old you are, then? Yaoyao slowly raised his hand and gestured with four fingers. Li Xiwu thought he was four years old. Then, Yaoyao raised his other hand and gestured with three fingers. Was this four years old or three? He doesnt look like hes four years old. This was because she had seen a four-year-old child. He was slightly taller than Yaoyao and his small body was stronger. He looked very small when he bit. So she guessed, Three years old? Yaoyao puffed out his cheeks slightly and shook his head. Li Xiwu continued to guess. Three years and four months? She felt that the four fingers he was gesticulating with were not casual gestures. But Yaoyao still shook his head. Li Xiwu hesitated. Could it be four years and three months? Yaoyao nodded happily. Li Xiwu poked Yaoyaos soft cheek. You look three years old at most. Yaoyao said in a muffled voice, But Im already a little adult! Li Xiwu pursed her lips in a smile. Then why does Yaoyao look so small? Yaoyao didnt seem to like mentioning this, but even if he didnt, he would still answer. Because Mom was only pregnant with me for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven months. Oh, its seven months. Hearing Yaoyao say this, Li Xiwu was immediately stunned. Although she had never given birth and had not specifically learned the exact cycle of pregnancy, she knew that being only seven months pregnant was considered premature. Generally speaking, premature babies would not have survived in ancient times. However, there were incubators in the modern world. Even so, the survival rate would still be much lower than a full-term baby.. Chapter 214 - Chapter 214: Pei Jingzhou: They Want To Confirm That You’re Li You Chapter 214: Pei Jingzhou: They Want To Confirm That Youre Li You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations No wonder the four-year-old and three-month-old Yaoyao looked three years old. Because he was born prematurely, he was naturally younger than other children, and his physique was naturally weaker than other children. And Yaoyao seemed to have no concept of seven months or months. He only knew that the adults said that he was younger than children his age because his mother was only seven months pregnant with him. The mothers of other children were nine months pregnant. Therefore, he was younger than the other children. Li Xiwu felt a little suffocated and forced a smile. Yaoyao is a treasure favored by God. Yaoyao shook his head, he said, Dont want to be Gods baby. Li Xiwu asked, Why? Yaoyao said, Can I be your baby? Li Xiwu was delighted. Of course. A word like a promise slipped out without hesitation. Seeing that Yaoyao was happy, Li Xiwu was also very happy. Thinking about it, it was probably because she only thought that looking after Yaoyao was a temporary mission. She just needed to complete this mission and wait for Madam Di Xin to come and take Yaoyao away. Then she would have nothing to do with him anymore. She and Yaoyao would probably never meet again! But Li Xiwu didnt think so anymore. Since she had promised Madam Di Xin to take care of Yaoyao, even if it was only a few hours of interaction, she should learn more about the habits, hobbies, and personality of Yaoyao. Pei Jingzhou walked over with a glass of water. Honey. Li Xiwu did not turn around, it was Yaoyao who turned around. Their eyes met. Pei Jingzhous face darkened. Im calling my wife, not you. Yaoyao turned his head silently and sulked. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. She reached out and touched the soft little face of Yaoyao. Then, she stood up and walked to Pei Jingzhou. It seems that Four-years-old Pei is too much. e You should be Three-years-old Pei. Pei Jingzhou handed the cup to Li Xiwu. If you drop from four to three, doesnt that mean youll drop to two again? Li Xiwu took the glass and nodded in approval. I think its very likely. Pei Jingzhou was stifled. You seem to like that kid very much. Li Xiwu smiled. Yaoyao is very obedient. Pei Jingzhou smirked. Obedient? Li Xiwu asked, Does Fourth Brother think that Yaoyao is not obedient? Pei Jingzhou said, Hes too clingy. Li Xiwu finished her water and pushed Pei Jingzhou away with a smile. Hes not clingy to you. Pei Jingzhou: As soon as she put down the cup, Li Xiwu was pulled back by Pei Jingzhou. He restrained her waist with one ha_nd and pushed away the bangs on her forehead with the other. The wound is scabbing very well. Li Xiwu removed Pei Jingzhous hand. Im applying the medicine seriously. Pei Jingzhous expression gradually turned serious. I know everything that happened today. Li Xiwu waited for Pei Jingzhou to mention this topic and asked, Then did Fourth Brother investigate why they did this? Pei Jingzhou stared into Li Xiwus eyes. They want to confirm if youre Li You. Li Xiwu froze. These words came too suddenly from Pei Jingzhou. Li Xiwu stared at Pei Jingzhous expression seriously. I look like Li You. Isnt it excusable to be recognized as Li You? Pei Jingzhous answer was, Not really. Li Xiwu said, Why not? Pei Jingzhou said, Youll always be yourself. Li Xiwu choked on a laugh. I can understand this sentence alone. Now that it comes out of Fourth Brothers mouth, it seems to have become complicated. I dont really understand it. Pei Jingzhou pondered for a moment. Then what do you want to ask? Under Pei Jingzhous deep gaze, Li Xiwu chose to tell him frankly, I saw Li Yous photo at the Li Mansion today. With that, she carefully looked at Pei Jingzhous expression, wanting to see a strange expression on his face. However, Pei Jingzhous expression did not change. Li Xiwu said, To be honest, Im quite surprised that I look so much like her. But there are still some differences. After all, two different people are not related by blood. Its impossible for them to look exactly the same. At this point, Li Xiwu smiled and looked at Pei Jingzhou. What do you think, Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhou slowly said, Theres a 60% chance that everyone will find someone who looks more than 99-5% similar to them. Moreover, theyre not related by blood. Just as Li Xiwu thought that he would fool her again, Pei Jingzhou added, But that was an accidental discovery among thousands. Coincidence doesnt count. Li Xiwu was stunned. After a moment of silence, she asked, The difference between our identities is the difference between us. Three years ago, we didnt interact at all. I want to know where you saw me before you chose me. If he hadnt seen her in advance, why would he come straight to her door? Pei Jingzhous thin lips moved as if he wanted to say something. At this moment, there was a notification on the door screen of the entryway. Someone was here. Li Xiwu guessed that the takeaway had arrived. Although she was in a bad mood from being interrupted, she had to eat. Otherwise, the little guy would be hungry. Ill get the door. She turned toward the entryway. The property manager pushed the food cart outside the door. Miss Li. Li Xiwu turned sideways. Push it in first. The property manager nodded. Okay. Then, he carefully pushed the food truck in. These were all orders Li Xiwu had placed in the Qingwei Pavilion. The people from the Qingwei Pavilion were in charge of sending them over and Lake Lu l s staff was in charge of sending them to the owner. Yaoyao heard the sound and poked his head out of the sofa, looking curiously at the stranger who came in. The property manager looked up and saw Pei Jingzhou. He nodded and greeted, Mr. Pei. Pei Jingzhou replied indifferently. The property manager placed the food on the dining table one by one. Li Xiwu came over to help and placed them all. When the property manager wheeled the food cart around, he saw the child lying on the sofa. The property manager was surprised. Miss Li, so your child with Mr. Pei is already so old. Li Xiwu was about to explain. The words hesitated for a few seconds before she stopped and replied with a smile, Yes. Yaoyao looked happy and even smiled at Uncle Property Manager. That smile almost melted his heart. When Li Xiwu sent the property ma_nager to the door, the property manager asked, Was the child with his grandpa and grandma before? Li Xiwu agreed. Yes. The property manager was a middle-aged uncle. He suggested sincerely, Actually, its the happiest time for children to stay by their parents side. This is because companionship is the most important thing to them. If they miss it, they will completely miss it. Li Xiwu was polite. Your suggestion is correct. The smile on the property managers face was sad. When my wife and I were young, we only cared about our work and handed our children over to their grandparents. Although we gave the best in life, when the children grew up, there was always an insurmountable gap between u.s. With that, afraid that he would delay the owners meal, the property manager took a few steps out. Miss Li, have a good dinner. Im returning to my post. Li Xiwu nodded.. Chapter 215 - Chapter 215: The DNA Paternity Test Results Are Out! Chapter 215: The DNA Paternity Test Results Are Out! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At the dining table. Yaoyao obediently sat beside Li Xiwu while Pei Jingzhou sat opposite them alone. The atmosphere was strangely quiet. Other than Li Xiwu, who would give Yaoyao vegetables from time to time, Pei Jingzhou and Yaoyao would look at each other in disgust!! Finally, Pei Jingzhou couldnt stand it anymore. Theres almost no room in his bowl. Yaoyao was unconvinced. I can still eat a lot! Pei Jingzhous tone turned cold. Are you a pig? Yaoyao turned to look at Li Xiwu and asked in a coquettish voice, Are pigs cute? Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Cute. Yaoyao immediately said, Then Im a cute pig. Pei Jingzhou: Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. Looking at Pei Jingzhous strange expression, she suppressed a smile. Is that necessary, Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhou said, Not to that extent, but I havent seen you pick up food for me. As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of pork belly reached Pei Jingzhous bowl. Eat. Pei Jingzhou was picky. Your attitude is different. Li Xiwu sighed and smiled. Three-year-old Pei, eat quickly. The smile on Pei Jingzhous lips spread to the corners of his eyes like a spring breeze. Li Xiwu couldnt help but think about it carefully. If Pei Jingzhou had a child in the future, would he be like this? It was seven-thirty after dinner. Li Xiwu had some work to deal with and asked Pei Jingzhou to accompany Yaoyao. Pei Jingzhou was clearly unhappy, and Yaoyao was more willing to watch television by himself. The two of them hated each other and did not like each other very much. It was almost eight oclock when Li Xiwu finished her work. However, no calls or messages were received from Madam Di Xin during this period. As soon as it was eight oclock, Li Xiwu took the initiative to call Madam Di Xin. She first asked after her health before cutting into the matter of when to pick up Yaoyao. The call went through. It was Madam Di Xin who answered. Miss Li. Li Xiwu asked, Madam Di Xin, are you feeling better? Madam Di Xin sounded weak. Thank you for your concern, Miss Li. Im a little better. I was talking to the doctor about my health. The doctor suggested that I be hospitalized, but I refused. Wait for me for half an hour. Ill come and pick up Yaoyao. Li Xiwu didnt feel too good when she heard this. She suggested, Madam Di Xin, its more important to take care of your health. Madam Di Xin sighed. That wont do. I still have to come and fetch Yaoyao. But Yaoyao might have to suffer and stay with me in the hospital tonight. Although Madam Di Xin was in a VIP ward, it was still a hospital. Kids didnt like that place very much. Li Xiwu hesitated for a moment. Why dont you let Yaoyao stay with me tonight? Madam Di Xin was worried. But youre recording a show tomorrow? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. My husband has time to watch Yaoyao. When the time comes, Madam Di Xin can just contact my husband. She used my husband, which was also to reassure Madam Di Xin. Madam Di Xin was grateful. Then Ill have to trouble you, Miss Li. Li Xiwu said, No trouble. Take care of yourself. She ended the call. Li Xiwu turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou standing there, looking at her with a smile. My husband. Li Xiwu: It was obvious that Pei Jingzhou was in a good mood. He did not even mind Yaoyao staying for the night. He only said, That kid can stay here tonight, but you cant carry him into the master bedroom. Li Xiwus lips curved. Okay, I wont carry him into the master bedroom. Pei Jingzhou reacted quickly. Youre going to the guest bedroom? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Fourth Brother said that I cant carry Yaoyao to the master bedroom. You didnt say that I cant bring Yaoyao to the guest bedroom. Pei Jingzhou: Li Xiwu went to communicate with Yaoyao about staying here tonight. Yaoyao seemed to be looking forward to it, but he was careful when he asked, Can I sleep with you? Li Xiwu was pleased. Of course. Then, Pei Jingzhou watched helplessly as his wife carried someone elses son to the guest room. The bed was made. There were no daily necessities for children at home. Although he would only stay for one night, Li Xiwu still ordered daily necessities for children from a supermarket and quickly sent them over. At this moment, only Li Xiwu and Yaoyao were in the bathroom. Because he had not seen Pei Jingzhou for a long time, Yaoyao was nervous. Afraid that he would be suddenly chased out, he tugged at Li Xiwus clothes. Li Xiwu squeezed some toothpaste for him. Whats wrong? Yaoyao asked, What about him? Li Xiwu knew that the he he was asking was Pei Jingzhou, so she said casually, He fell into the toilet. Yaoyao was instantly dumbfounded. Li Xiwu chuckled. Are we going to save him? Yaoyao turned to look at the toilet behind him and pondered for a moment. If we dont save him, will we be alone? Li Xiwu said, Yes. Yaoyao pressed the flush button, and there was the sound of rushing water. Okay, I flushed him away. But just as he finished speaking, he regretted it. He turned back and tugged at Li Xiwus shirt. Hes not here. Theres no one to protect you. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. Its okay. Yaoyao will protect me. Yaoyao was sad. Why dont we just pull him out of the toilet? Li Xiwu was overjoyed. All the negative energy of late seemed to have disappeared at this moment. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou walked in. He noticed that the little guy beside him was staring at him in disbelief. Pei Jingzhou asked, Kid, whats wrong now? Yaoyao asked in shock, Did you just crawl out of the toilet? Pei Jingzhou: At the same time, at the Pei residence. Han Qianye held the photo she had secretly taken today in one hand and the photo album in the other. After repeated comparison, Han Qianye heaved a sigh of relief. This is too similar! Pei Qingji walked over curiously and asked, What do you mean? Han Qianye quickly showed the photo and photo album to Pei Qingji. Look, do they look similar? After Pei Qingji finished looking, he hissed, Who is this? Han Qianye said, Your son and grandson. The corners of Pei Qingjis mouth twitched. Whats going on? Why didnt I know that my grandson is already so old? Han Qianye said angrily, I just found out. Next, Han Qianye told Pei Qingji what had happened. After hearing this, Pei Qingji said, That should just be a resemblance. Han Qianye said, My intuition tells me its not that simple, so I did a paternity test. Pei Qingji did not think much of it. After all, this was too ridiculous. His son actually had such a big son, and the entire family didnt know. Who would believe that? Buzz buzz buzz Her phone was vibrating. Whatever I said came. Theres a call from the hospital. Han Qianye quickly picked up her phone. Pei Qingji still did not take it seriously. In any case, it seemed ridiculous to him. Pei Qingji even felt that his wife probably wanted a grandson too much. Recently, she had been nagging from time to time that if her son and daughter-in-law had a child, their relationship would be more stable. She was probably obsessed with having a grandson. Han Qianye picked up the phone and asked, Is the result out? The doctor said, Yes, Mrs. Pei. The DNA test results you wanted are out.. Chapter 216 - Chapter 216: Father-Son Relationship Established Chapter 216: Father-Son Relationship Established Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The doctor said, Yes, Mrs. Pei. The DNA test results you wanted are out. Han Qianye asked, What was the result? The doctor on the other end of the line was about to tell Han Qianye the results of the DNA test. At this moment, Han Qianye suddenly stopped him. Wait! The doctor waited in silence. Han Qianye was a little nervous. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Alright, tell me the result. The doctor said, Materials I and II are at D3S1358, THOI After almost a minute, Han Qianye said impatiently, Theres no need to compare the data. Just say the results. I just want the results. The doctor quickly replied, The probability of Material I being the biological father of Material Il is greater than 99-99%. According to the DNA genetic marker classification results, Material I is the biological father of Material Il. Han Qianye summarized, So, theyre father and son, right? The doctor replied, Yes, Mrs. Pei. The test results are father and son. At the same time, the phone in Han Qianyes hand fell to the carpet with a crisp sound. She was dumbfounded. Pei Qingji was taking off his wristwatch. Seeing this, he walked over and bent down to pick up the phone on the carpet. Looking at his wifes dumbfounded expression, he asked, Whats wrong? Han Qianye slowly looked up at Pei Qingji. Pei Qingji panicked. I havent been fishing recently. Han Qianye reached out towards Pei Qingji. Pei Qingji said honestly, No fishing rod. Han Qianye said angrily, I know where youre hiding your fishing rod. Give me the phone first. Pei Qingji: Han Qianye took back her phone and saw that the call had ended. Pei Qingji must have accidentally hung up when he picked up the phone. Han Qianye dialed back. Dr. Luo. The doctor picked up the phone immediately. He could guess that the commotion just now was an accident. Perhaps Mrs. Pei was excited? Or angry? A paternity test relationship was 90% a joyous occasion for ordinary families. However, for a top wealthy family like the Pei family, 20% of it was a happy thing, and the remaining 80% was a bad thing. It was either trouble like an illegitimate child or a scandal. In any case, it was quite complicated. The doctor spoke carefully. Go ahead, Mrs. Pei. Han Qianyes tone was calm. Send the DNA test results to the Pei residence. The doctor was very nervous, afraid that he would accidentally be involved in some struggle between wealthy families, but he could not refuse, so he could only agree first. Mrs. Pei, wait a moment. Han Oianve said. Okav. After ending the call, Han Qianye stared at her phone in a daze. Just by looking at her expression, she looked troubled. Pei Qingji took off his wristwatch and walked over. He sat down beside Han Qianye. You became preoccupied after answering a call. Did the test results disappoint you? Han Qianye did not say anything and sighed. Pei Qingji leaned over and placed his hand on his wifes shoulder. Logically speaking, the disappointing outcome is the right one. Dont tell me you want to see Jingzhou being discovered because they hid an illegitimate child? Then the couple will get a divorce because of this illegitimate child? Han Qianye pursed her lips with a serious expression. Because Pei Qingji had guessed her thoughts. That was why she showed no sign of happiness after knowing this outcome. Instead, she was even more troubled. Pei Qingji advised gently, Youre focused on maintaining their relationship now. When their relationship improves, its only a matter of time before they have grandchildren. This time, treat it as a false alarm. I also believe that my son isnt the kind of person to fool around outside. Im a romantic. My son cant be a scumbag. Han Qianye turned to look at Pei Qingji. You reminded me. Pei Qingji smiled. Huh? Han Qianye said, Genes are indeed important. A father is a romantic, so is a son. If that son is a scumbag who flirts with women, a father probably wont be any better. Pei Qingji nodded. Precisely. At this moment, Pei Qingji, who did not know anything about the conversation just now, had unknowingly dug a huge pit for himself. A few minutes later, Dr. Luo personally sent the DNA test results to the Pei residence. Under the lead of Butler Dong, he carried a yellow document bag in. Dr. Luo personally handed the yellow document bag to Han Qianye with both hands. Mrs. Pei, this is the DNA test result. Han Qianye took the yellow document bag. Dr. Luo, youve worked hard. Please sit down. Uncle Dong, serve the evening tea. Dr. Luo quickly waved his hand. No, no. I still have to go back to the hospital for my shift. Uncle Dong asked curiously, Is the director still on duty? Dr. Luo laughed dryly. The hospital isnt fully staffed tonight. I have no choice. I have to go back. Han Qianye smiled. Dr. Luo, take care. Uncle Dong, send him off. After everyone left, Han Qianye took the yellow document bag and returned to the bedroom upstairs. Pei Qingji had already washed up and changed into his sleeping robe. When he looked up and saw that his wife had returned, he patted the seat beside him. Honey, come and sleep. Han Qianye said indifferently, Go to sleep first. With that, Han Qianye sat down on the sofa at the end of the bed. She opened the yellow document bag in her hand and took out the test results to read them carefully. It was similar to what Dr. Luo had said on the phone. The probability of Jingzhou being the biological father of the child was more than 99-99%. Although she had already confirmed it with her own ears, Han Qianye wanted to see it with her own eyes. Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she felt even more stifled. The document in her hand was taken away by Pei Qingji, who had gotten out of bed. Let me take a look. Han Qianye did not stop him. I suggest you be mentally prepared. Pei Qingji sneered. Do I need to be mentally prepared for this? I want to see what happened to make you look so troubled. However, not long after he finished speaking, Pei Qingjis expression gradually turned ugly. Finally, he let out a sentence that came from his soul. What the hell! Han Qianye said helplessly, Do you know why Im so preoccupied now? Pei Qingji: This document was a paternity test! The names of both parties were not written on the appraisal, but the father and son were identified. If he had not known just now that his wife had taken his eldest son and a childs hair for a DNA test, Pei Qingji would probably have calmly read this test result. But heres the situation. The test results actually showed that the probability of Jingzhou and that child being biological father and son was greater than 99-99%!!! Han Qianye asked calmly, Old Pei, what do you think of this matter? Pei Qingji coughed lightly. I think this matter Han Qianye said, Huh? Pei Qingji raised his hand and scratched the space between his eyebrows. We have to think about this at length. Han Qianye mentioned, I remember someone saying just now that his son is fooling around outside. As a father, hes not much better. Pei Qingji: Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: Suspected to Be Li Xiwu’s Child Chapter 217: Suspected to Be Li Xiwus Child Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations A huge pit appeared in front of Pei Qingji. He looked down and saw that it was indeed the hole he had dug. It was huge and deep! Han Qianye crossed her arms. Do you have anything else to say? Pei Qingji went all out. At most, Ill sever my father-son relationship with him. He didnt inherit the genes of my Pei familys big love seed. Ill treat this account as useless. Han Qianye said, Put righteousness before family. Youre really good. Pei Qingji smiled, then asked carefully, Then what do you think of this matter now? Han Qianye was in a bad mood. Just from her tone, it was obvious that she was very annoyed. It was just my momentary intuition. I didnt expect it to be true. The childs father is confirmed, but I dont even know who the mother of the child is. Im worried about how to get the identity of the mother out of Jingzhou, but I cant let Xixi notice. Xixi still thinks that the child is Madam Di Xins grandson. Pei Qingjis lips curled up. Do you think its possible that the mother of the child is not an outsider? Han Qianye frowned and was feeling annoyed. If she hasnt entered my Pei family, shes an outsider. Its impossible for her to be a member of the Pei family just because she gave birth to a son. My position is very clear. I definitely wont acknowledge anyone else except Xixi. Pei Qingji smiled. Youve said something similar in the past. Han Qianye: ? Pei Qingji repeated, My position is very clear. I will never approve of that substitute as my daughter-in-law. Han Qianye: With this reminder, Han Qianye remembered. When she said this, she did not expect that one day, she would try her best to maintain the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law. The more Han Qianye thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her elbow and bumped Pei Qingjis chest. How is that possible! Jingzhou and Xixi have only been married for less than three years. That child is already three years old, right? She also had to be nine months pregnant. Theres no logic at all. Pei Qingji said, What if? Han Qianye said, Impossible, absolutely impossible. Pei Qingji said meaningfully, Then think about it from another perspective. That childs biological mother is Little You. Han Qianye was stunned when she heard Pei Qingjis words. Huh? Pei Qingji raised his hand and tapped Han Qianyes forehead with his fingertip. You looked quite smart just now. Why are you so slow when it comes to the point? Han Qianye carefully understood what Pei Qingji had just said. If the childs biological mother was Little You, and it just so happened that she now suspected Xixis identity and guessed that Xixi might be Little You after losing her memory, something had already happened four years ago. Jingzhou had deceived everyone and kept Little You by his side in another way. If that was the case, Little Yous child is also Xixis child? She immediately understood. Han Qianyes eyes widened. This Pei Qingji sneered. The brat is quite shrewd. Han Qianye raised her hand and massaged her temples. As she spoke, she walked towards the bathroom. After receiving so much information in one night, my mind is in a mess. I have to calm down. Dont disturb me. Han Qianye was thinking about this while washing her face and skincare. She was also thinking about this while taking a bath. She was also thinking about this when drying her hair. Her mind was filled with this. She thought about it. There was no point in thinking that, she realized. She had to get Li Xiwus hair and the childs hair for a DNA test. Moreover, she could not do it openly. She could not let Li Xiwu notice. After getting Li Xiwu and the childs DNA test and confirming all their guesses, she would throw all these results in Jingzhous face and ask what had happened all these years. The next day. Li Xiwu, who had been dreamless all night, accidentally fell into a dream when the sky was just light. This time, the scene in the dream was a hospital. She guarded the bed and carefully took care of the withered woman on it. During this period, she tried many times to see the appearance of the woman on the bed clearly, but no matter what, she could not see clearly. The scene in front of her was always blurry. Only the smell of disinfectant and the doctor in a white coat walking over from time to time made her confirm that she was in the hospital. The doctor beside her said something. She looked down instinctively, but saw her slightly bulging stomach. Her face was blank and helpless. At this moment, the woman lying on the bed stretched out her thin and bony hand and called out, Little You Li Xiwu subconsciously held the hand. She wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be hoarse and she couldnt say a word. The woman in the hospital bed said, Theres no time to say goodbye properly Li Xiwu shook her head, her tears falling uncontrollably. No, wait a little longer The equipment beside her beeped. It sounded very harsh and urgent. Soon, doctors came in one by one. Li Xiwu was carefully helped to the side. Her ears were filled with the sound of crying, and she could vaguely hear the doctor say, Her heart rate is slowing down. Hurry, send her to the emergency room. Her blurry vision kept changing the venue. She didnt see anyone clearly. By the time she realized what was going on, she was lying on the operating table, the doctors steady questioning ringing in her ears. Have you really thought it through? It might be too late Well make it. Well definitely make it The dream stopped here. Li Xiwus eyes snapped open. Her heaving chest reminded her that the dream had upset her. At this moment, a hand reached to her face and wiped her tears. Li Xiwu thought it was Pei Jingzhou. When she looked up, she met a pair of large, confused eyes. The kids hair was a mess, and his soft little face was full of doubt. They looked at each other for a moment. It took her a moment to realize that she had slept with Yaoyao last night. When she woke up, she had almost forgotten that she had a little guy with her. She pushed herself up slowly from the bed. Did I wake you? she asked the kid. Yaoyao nodded. Li Xiwu smiled bitterly. Sorry. Do you still want to sleep, then? I can sleep with you for a while longer. With that, she took her phone and looked at the time. It was only six-thirty. It was still early. Yaoyao shook his head, indicating that he was not sleeping anymore. But Yaoyao was curious and asked her, Why are you crying? Li Xiwu was stunned. Did I cry? Yaoyao pointed at Li Xiwus face. Tears. Li Xiwu raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face. As expected, she was crying again. It was not completely dry yet. Even her eyelashes were wet. Yaoyao asked again, Why are you crying? Li Xiwu was in a dark mood. Her answer was, Im not feeling well. When Yaoyao heard Li Xiwu say that she was not feeling well, he nervously leaned over to Li Xiwu. Then, he raised his hand and pressed it against Li Xiwus forehead. Li Xiwu cooperated and didnt move. Yaoyao had learned this action from an adult, but he didnt know what temperature represented physical discomfort, so he stood up again and pressed his forehead to Li Xiwus.. Chapter 218 - Chapter 218: What Did Li You Experience… Chapter 218: What Did Li You Experience Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Yaoyao, did you feel anything? Yaoyao: No. Li Xiwu asked, Does my forehead burn? Yaoyao was muffled. I still cant feel it. When he was sick, they clearly probed his forehead with their hands or pressed their foreheads against his to feel if he was sick. Why couldnt he feel it when he did the same? Li Xiwu took the opportunity to pull Yaoyao into her arms. Im fine. Im sorry to wake you up so early. Why dont I sleep with you for a while more? Yaoyao nestled in Li Xiwus arms. Okay. Li Xiwu pulled the blanket over the two of them. Although Yaoyao said that he was not sleepy, he quickly fell asleep in her arms. Li Xiwu couldnt sleep. She remembered the near-broken dream. She didnt know if it was a fantasy nightmare or if it really existed in her memory, but it still felt real. It was as if she had experienced it herself. If Li Huaisheng was really her father, could the haggard woman in the dream be her mother? There were still traces of the turmoil in Country T. The memorial to the Li Mansion would always exist, and the woman in the dream seemed to have never existed. What had Li You experienced? Why was every dream so painful? And what about that bulging belly? Could it be that shed been pregnant? The moment this thought appeared in her mind, Li Xiwu immediately rejected it. Impossible! If she had been about to return to the country as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the year Li Yous accident, it would have been impossible for her to get pregnant. The dream was too vague. She could not see everyone in the dream clearly. Her bulging stomach might be her imagination too. Her thoughts were too chaotic. Li Xiwu put these things aside for the time being and did not think too much about it. On the other hand, she felt that she might be able to give Qiao Qiaos nasty trick a try. It was too difficult to investigate it herself. If she got Pei Jingzhou drunk and got information from him, she might know more. However, doing so would either succeed or fail. And the possibility of failure was very high! With these complicated matters in mind, Li Xiwu set the alarm for an hour. Then, she hugged Yaoyao and gradually fell asleep. She slept lightly. When the blanket was lifted, she opened her eyes in a daze. Pei Jingzhous face was reflected in front of her. Li Xiwu immediately turned to look at Yaoyao, but she did not see the figure. She asked, Where is Yaoyao? Pei Jingzhou said angrily, The first time you saw me this morning, you didnt ask me if I slept well last night. Instead, you asked about that kid first? Li Xiwu was about to sit up. Pei Jingzhou pressed her shoulder and pressed her back. Honey, I didnt sleep well last night. Li Xiwu smiled helplessly. Then why didnt Fourth Brother sleep well? Pei Jingzhou pulled the blanket over the two of them. Ive missed you all night. Li Xiwu: Just as Pei Jingzhou was about to make his next move, Li Xiwu suddenly flipped over and pressed Pei Jingzhou down. She saw the smile on Pei Jingzhous lips curl up slightly. He even asked her, Honey, do you want to treat me better? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and continued to ask seriously, Wheres Yaoyao? Pei Jingzhou sighed softly. I carried that kid out. He slept very soundly. Li Xiwu said, On the sofa? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. Li Xiwu pushed against Pei Jingzhous chest and was about to get up when Pei Jingzhou pulled her down again. She got up again and was pulled down again. He did it twice. Li Xiwu was very helpless. What if he catches a cold in this weather? Pei Jingzhou hooked his arm around her waist and refused to let go. He was angry and amused. He resigned himself to his fate and said, Ill put that kid in the master bedroom. Li Xiwu looked a little better. The alarm was vibrating. Li Xiwu reached out and turned off the alarm. Seven-thirty. Im up. Pei Jingzhou did not let go and reminded her, I just came. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Yes, so what? Pei Jingzhou said, Dont you feel it? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Of course she felt it. This person was really bad! He did not want to let go for a second. However, Li Xiwu knew Pei Jingzhous time too well and did not really let him mess around. A light gratification was enough. Pei Jingzhou was not satisfied and could not be considered refreshed, but he felt a little better. The cook came. Breakfast was well prepared. At the dining table. This time, it was Pei Jingzhous idea for Yaoyao to sit beside him. You have to follow me for the time being. Sit beside me. If youre disobedient, Ill sell you when she goes to work. Li Xiwu threw the ball of napkins in her hand at Pei Jingzhou. I already said not to scare him. Pei Jingzhou accurately caught the ball of paper and placed it aside. This kid can tolerate it. Hes expressionless no matter what I say. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Like you, right? Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at the expressionless little guy drinking milk. Thats too far away. Yaoyao looked at Li Xiwu anxiously. Are you leaving? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes, I have to zo to work. Yaoyao pointed at Pei Jingzhou and asked Li Xiwu, Then why didnt he go to work? Pei Jingzhou drank the porridge calmly. Because Im lucky enough to live off a woman. Yaoyao said in a muffled voice, Hmph. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Madam Di Xin will pick you up later. Yaoyao wanted to say: Can I be with you all the time? But he was sensible enough not to say that out loud, because it seemed like a burden. He couldnt bring trouble to others. Before Li Xiwu left the table, Yaoyao reluctantly tugged at Li Xiwus clothes. Li Xiwu leaned over and touched Yaoyaos cheek. Ill go change. I wont leave so quickly. Only then did Yaoyao let go with relief. When Li Xiwu returned to the master bedroom to change, there was a prompt on the door screen. It was Han Qianye. The cook went to open the door. Madam. Han Qianye nodded and shouted as she walked in, Xixi, Im here. The production team has also arranged a single mission today. As soon as she entered, she saw Pei Jingzhou and Yaoyao sitting at the dining table but not Li Xiwu. Han Qianye walked past and asked, Wheres Xixi? Pei Jingzhou replied, Shes changing in the bedroom. As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. Mrs. Pei, have you eaten? Me? Ive eaten. With that, Han Qianyes gaze landed on the little guy who was quietly eating breakfast. Coincidentally, Yaoyao looked up at her. Han Qianyes face was originally expressionless. When the little guy looked at her, she thought that she was a grandmother after all, so she smiled kindly. Hello. Yaoyao lowered his head again, saying nothing. Han Qianye murmured, This gene is really identical. Pei Jingzhou smiled when he heard this and asked casually, Didnt you insist on doing the DNA test? Have the DNA results come out? Han Qianye paused for a few seconds. Yes. Pei Jingzhou did not take it seriously and asked, What was the outcome? Chapter 219 - Chapter 219: All Heartaches Chapter 219: All Heartaches Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Han Qianye pulled out a chair and sat down. When I was so careful and insisted on doing the appraisal, didnt you not take it seriously at all?! Pei Jingzhous thin lips curled up. Then pretend I didnt ask. Han Qianye placed her hands flat on the table and leaned forward. Are you deliberately trying to get information out of me? Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. If I want to get information from you, Mrs. Pei, I wouldnt let you notice. Han Qianye: It was obvious that Jingzhou was behind this. Whether it was Xixis tampered identity or this child who suddenly appeared! However, the more Han Qianye thought about it, the more curious she became. She could not suppress her curiosity anymore. She wanted to ask clearly. This brat was hiding too many things from everyone! But she also knew very well that these words could not be asked directly in person. There had to be a reason why Jingzhou could play this game till now. Now Xixi was inside and would come out at any moment. It would be difficult to explain if Xixi heard her. Han Qianye turned around and looked at the little guy who was eating breakfast obediently. Originally, when she thought that this was Jingzhous illegitimate son yesterday, she actually did not like him a little. However, if the little guy was also related to Xixi by blood, then this was her darling- Baby Yaoyao, Han Qianye shouted kindly. Yaoyao slowly raised his head and looked at the person who called him. Han Qianyes heart almost melted. Im your grandmother. The expression on Yaoyaos face represented his confusion at the title. Auntie. Li Xiwu walked out of the bedroom and saw Han Qianye sitting at the dining table. Xixi. Han Qianye immediately stood up and walked over. Have you eaten breakfast? Li Xiwu nodded. Ive eaten. I went in to change just now. As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Yaoyao was sitting at the dining table looking at her eagerly. Li Xiwu walked over. Why are you only eating so little? Yaoyao is muffled. Im not hungry. Han Qianye said, Little guy, youre growing. You have to eat a little more in the morning to grow taller. You have to grow to your fathers height. Yaoyao was already sulky, so hearing this made him feel even worse. I dont have a father. Han Qianye panicked. Nonsense! How can you not have a father! Because she was too excited, Han Qianye did not control her anxious tone. Therefore, Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou looked at Han Qianye at the same time. Han Qianye panicked. Li Xiwu asked, Auntie, have you seen Yaoyaos father? Han Qianye subconsciously turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and said calmly, Dont look at me. Ive never seen him before. Han Qianye cursed in her heart but maintained her composure. I I thought the little guy was talking nonsense just now. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Yaoyao knows everything he needs to know about his background. Han Qianye was puzzled. What does he know? Im an orphan. It was Yaoyao who answered. There was no sadness on his face. In a very calm state, he answered this question in a very calm voice. Then, Yaoyao looked up at Han Qianye and said seriously, I dont have parents. Li Xiwus heart ached when she heard Yaoyao say this. She guessed that this was probably empathy. Yaoyao was still so young, but he knew very well that he had no parents. Han Qianye, who already knew, felt her heart ache. Who told you that? Yaoyao said in a muffled voice, I was adopted. Han Qianye: To a child with shallow knowledge, didnt adopted children not have parents? If he had parents, why would he be adopted? Han Qianyes heart ached and she was angry. She looked up and glared at Pei Jingzhou. Just as she was about to say something, the phone in her bag rang. Han Qianye swallowed her words and touched Yaoyaos face with heartache before answering the phone. Li Xiwu sat down beside Yaoyao. Although youre an adopted child, there are many people who love you. Sometimes you dont have to say clearly that youre adopted because its not that important. But Yaoyao was serious. Children cant lie. Li Xiwu sighed and smiled bitterly. This isnt a lie. You dont have to say it. Yaoyao seemed to understand. Li Xiwu felt upset. She looked up and met Pei Jingzhous eyes. He was looking at her quietly. After looking at each other silently for a moment, Li Xiwu spoke first, her tone serious. Before Madam Di Xin comes to pick up Yaoyao, Fourth Brother has to take care of Yaoyao. Pei Jingzhou asked, Are you worried that I wont treat him well? Li Xiwu shook her head. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Then what are you worried about? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Hes sensitive. Be more careful. Dont always say things to scare him. Especially when Yaoyao said that he was adopted. Li Xiwu felt especially upset. It was as uncomfortable as a knife cutting through the flesh of her heart. For once, Pei Jingzhou did not refute like before. He replied gently, Got it. Yaoyao secretly glanced at Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou caught his glance and Yaoyao immediately looked away, pretending that nothing had happened. Pei Jingzhou laughed. Ive always kept my promise to my wife. Dont worry, I wont sell you off for the time being. Yaoyao: For the time being, does that mean youll sell me in the future? Pei Jingzhou said, No. Yaoyao was relieved. Then Ill be good. Pei Jingzhou said, Thats the best. Han Qianye answered a call from the production team. The car was on its way out. Because she had rushed to Lake Lu yesterday and got into the production teams car, todays show was very considerate and asked if she needed to be picked up. Of course not! Because Han Qianye was already at Lake Lu, she could just go out with Li Xiwu later. A few minutes later, she was ready to go out. Li Xiwu reached Yaoyao and squatted down. She adjusted Yaoyaos slightly turned collar. What do you want to eat? Go get him to get it for you. If you want to hear a story, ask him to read it to you. In short, no matter what you want, just tell him. Yaoyao nodded obediently. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Do you want to say goodbye now? Yaoyao shook his head. Li Xiwu said, Then when Madam Di Xin comes to pick you up, if you want to say goodbye to me, ask him to call me and say goodbye to me on the phone, okay? Yaoyao nodded. Li Xiwu reached out and touched Yaoyaos head. Yaoyao is the cutest little friend Ive ever met. I like you a lot. Yaoyao thought about it, then found the courage to ask, Will we meet again? Li Xiwu nodded. Of course we will. Yaoyao was relieved. As long as they could meet again. When Li Xiwu and Han Qianye went out, although Yaoyao was reluctant to part, he was also very obedient and stood quietly. When the door closed, Yaoyao turned around and saw a very tall figure standing in front of him. Yaoyao looked up with difficulty and realized that his face was almost facing the sky. Chapter 220 - Chapter 220: Trouble Is Here For Li Xiwu (1) Chapter 220: Trouble Is Here For Li Xiwu (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Yaoyao suddenly remembered what the grandmother had said. He was growing. If he ate one more day every morning, he would be as tall as his father! He didnt have a father, so he didnt know how tall a father should be. If there was, would it be as tall as him? Pei Jingzhou had one hand in his pocket as he looked down at the dwarf in front of him. Your little face is almost twisted into a fried dough twist. What are you thinking about? Yaoyao hesitated, gathering his courage. Can I grow as tall as you if I eat more breakfast? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Why do you want to be as tall as me? This time when Yaoyao answered, he looked serious. If Im as tall as you are, I can stand beside her. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. You want to replace me? Yaoyao said truthfully, Id like to, if I could. Pei Jingzhou: One could ask and one could answer. If anyone else had dared to answer like this, they would have been kicked to the hospital by Pei Jingzhou. Looking at the dwarf in front of him, Pei Jingzhou chuckled softly. Lets talk about it in twenty years. Yaoyao said seriously. Are you going to give her to me in twenty years? Pei Jingzhou hissed. Kid, dont push your luck. Yaoyao was a little chagrined. Youre the one who said twenty years from now, not me. Pei Jingzhou: In total, there were only a few words. But Pei Jingzhou was choked twice. Irritated, he turned back to the bedroom and went into the cloakroom to change. Pei Jingzhou had just taken off his clothes when he saw the sneaky figure at the door. He closed his eyes. What are you doing? Knowing hed been discovered, Yaoyao decided not to hide. He slipped in and said, Im going to follow you. Pei Jingzhou was already half-naked. His well-defined abdominal muscles were almost a visual feast. He looked at the kid expressionlessly. I didnt ask you to follow me. Do you understand? Yaoyao shook her head. I dont know. After answering, Yaoyao lifted his clothes and looked at his stomach. Because he had just eaten in the morning, his stomach was very round. He looked at his round stomach and then at the stomach of the person opposite him. Yaoyao became depressed. Pei Jingzhou quickly changed into a dark gray coat with a black turtleneck sweater, black pants, and black leather boots. The time Pei Jingzhou used to change his clothes was how long Yaoyao had been watching him at the side. After Pei Jingzhou changed his clothes, he walked to Yaoyao and bent down to pick him up. Then, he carried him with one hand easily. Yaoyao soared so high again and clutched Pei Jingzhous clothes tightly. His small face was tense, indicating his fear. Pei Jingzhou sneered. How useless. Pei Jingzhous daily life while taking care of a child was very relaxed. There was nothing to worry about. They got into the car. Seeing that it was the child from last night, the driver asked, Mr. Pei, are we sending this child back now? Pei Jingzhou said, Ill wait for them to pick him up themselves. Go to the company. The driver was surprised. Was Mr. Pei taking a child to the company? In the car. Pei Jingzhou handed the tablet to Yaoyao. Order whatever you want. Yaoyao held the tablet in a daze, looking at a loss. Pei Jingzhou reached out and swiped his fingertips across the screen. Do you like this? Yaoyao nodded. Pei Jingzhou moved on. Do you like this? Yaoyao continued to nod. Pei Jingzhou continued to row and Yaoyao continued to nod. There was nothing he didnt like. Pei Jingzhou placed an order for all of them. The delivery address was the Pei Corporation Building. There were stars in Yaoyaos eyes. Can I really have it all? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Yes. After answering, Pei Jingzhou looked at the little guy whose eyes were filled with stars. Dont they usually buy these for you? Yaoyao: They do. Pei Jingzhou: Yeah? Yaoyao said in a muffled voice, But none of it is what I like. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Cant you say that you dont like it? Yaoyaos voice was very faint. Adopted children cant be picky. Pei Jingzhou: Pei Jingzhou, who was silent for a few seconds, ordered all the toys he had ordered again. It didnt matter if he couldnt finish playing it. It didnt matter. He could just buy it and put it on display for him. Even if he didnt want to see it, he had to let him throw it away himself. In the future, he wouldnt let himself accept other toys because he couldnt have them. The car arrived at the Pei Corporation building. Not long after, everyone in the Pei Corporation Building saw with their own eyes that their boss was carrying a child to the company today!!! Thats right. I saw it with my own eyes.. The boss personally carried that child into the company! Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: Trouble Is Here For Li Xiwu (2) Chapter 221: Trouble Is Here For Li Xiwu (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Whos the kid? The bosss brother? Or a nephew? Thats too hard to guess. The bosss youngest brother is graduating from high school. If its a nephew, the boss shouldnt dote on his nephew. Its hard to say. Could it be the bosss child? Thats absolutely impossible. The lady boss comes back to the company a few times a year. Every time I come to see the lady bosss figure, Im so envious that I cant sleep at night. That child cant be the boss and the lady bosss. None of you saw what that child looked like. I did. Let me tell you quietly, that childs eyebrows are a little like the bosss. Im not eating this damn gossip! The employees of the company had already started all kinds of discussions about Pei Jingzhous relationship with Yaoyao. After all, this was the first time and the first child to be carried into the company by Pei Jingzhou. However, that was not all. The higher-ups were also dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen their boss, who had always been cold and heartless, bring a child to a meeting!!! The child did not sit in the back or go to the side, but sat beside Boss. Moreover, Boss had tacitly approved of it. It was simply off the charts!! The higher-ups who were reporting the bidding plan couldnt help but look at the child beside the boss. It was mainly because the Ultraman in the childs hand was too eye-catching. It was difficult to ignore it. Pei Jingzhou looked up at the distracted higher-up and asked expressionlessly, You want to play too? The higher-ups shut their mouths and shook their heads. Pei Jingzhou said, Continue. The higher-ups nodded. With Yaoyao here, todays morning meeting was destined not to go smoothly, especially for those higher-ups. It was simply torture. The morning meeting ended. Pei Jingzhou carried Yaoyao back to the office. Chen Xin followed them back silently and entered the office. Seeing that Mr. Pei had placed the little guy on the sofa, Chen Xin quickly walked forward. He had been holding back his words for a long time and was about to say something when Mr. Pei threw him a sentence. Play with him for a while. Chen Xin: A few minutes later, Chen Xin walked up to Pei Jingzhou with a bitter expression. Mr. Pei, Im despised. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. You dont know about Ultraman? Chen Xin looked troubled. Among the full set, I only know a few. Ive never seen the rest. Pei Jingzhou said, I dont know them either. Chen Xin: Pei Jingzhou said, Thats why I asked you to play with him. Chen Xin: . The more he spoke, the more curious Chen Xin became. Mr. Pei, why did you bring this little guy to the company today? You dont even know, but today, everyone in the company is saying that this little guy is your son. Pei Jingzhou held his forehead. Does he look like my son? Chen Xin turned around and looked at Yaoyao who was focused on fiddling Ultraman. You dont say, he really does look a little like you. Meanwhile, Han Qianye and Li Xiwu had already gotten into the production teams car. The live broadcast that had already started on the way started. From the moment Li Xiwu and Han Qianye appeared on camera, their online popularity increased crazily! [My Brainless and Unhappy are back!!] [Sister Lis group was the earliest yesterday. I cant bear to part with it, but its understandable. Your health is the most important.] [The production team must observe Sister Lis condition more.] [Looking forward to todays single-line mission.] [Did anyone notice? Sister Li, who is usually expressionless, has been smiling faintly since she appeared on camera today. I can tell that Sister Li is in a good mood.] [I look forward to Sister Li sharing something happy.] The staff handed over the mission card. This is todays mission. Han Qianye reached out to take it first, then handed the mission card to Li Xiwu. Read it. Li Xiwu did not refuse. She took the mission card and read out todays mission under the camera. Todays mission was even simpler than yesterday. It was to eat, drink, and have fun. However, the reason why it was called a mission was because it was not just purely eating, drinking, and having fun. One had to find three intangible cultural delicacies among the delicacies they ate. Every group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to find three intangible cultural delicacies. They could not rely on their phones to search. They had to find them themselves. The production team only allocated 200 yuan to each group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. This 200 yuan covered all the expenses. After Han Qianye heard the contents of the mission card, she raised her eyebrows. Then wont we win for sure today? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said nothing. Han Qianye did not notice Li Xiwus expression and continued happily, Xixi has the most contact with intangible cultural delicacies. Its too easy to find them. Are you sure it wasnt the production team who went easy on us? [I announce that Han Qianye is my Internet mouthpiece.] [This episode is too simple for Sister Li. Could it be that the production team set it up to support Sister Li?] [The production team is biased. Has my food variety show become commercialized! J [Im sure that as soon as Mother-in-Law Joy ends, Li Xiwu will immediately announce her entry into the entertainment industry.] [F*ck, something happened! Li Xiwus artiste, Ji Weiling, is in a scandal.] [Guide Weibo, everyone, go take a look!!] On Weibo. A post called #Ji Weiling Mistress# was pushed to the top by popularity. Netizens clicked on it. It was a video taken by the paparazzi. Ji Weiling got into Qi Zishens business car and was quickly chased out. The topic of controversy was that Ji Weiling had tried to hook up with Qi Zishen because of his acting, but Qi Zishen claimed that he already had an out-of-industry girlfriend. He chased Ji Weiling out of the car and resolutely maintained a colleague relationship at work. This heated discussion completely eliminated the possibility of Qi Zishen cheating. All the public opinion attacked Ji Weiling. There was a flurry of curses. At the same time, Li Xiwu, who was under the live broadcast camera, also received a WeChat message from Qi Jiangchi: [Trouble is here.] Li Xiwu didnt reply. Qi Jiangchi quickly sent another WeChat message: [The wind is not right. It feels like premeditation. The ultimate goal is you..] Chapter 222 - Chapter 222: Li Xiwu’s Coldness and Heartlessness Chapter 222: Li Xiwus Coldness and Heartlessness Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The entire days live broadcast ended at 6:30 p.m. The camera shut off on time. The moment Li Xiwu took off her collar microphone, her heavy heart was relieved. Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwus tired expression and asked in a low voice, Do you want to go for a massage to relax? Li Xiwu declined politely. No. Han Qianyes heart ached. You look a little tired. Li Xiwu replied calmly, Maybe its because I didnt sleep well last night. Han Qianye still did not know about the matter on the Internet. After all, she had been recording the show all day. She had heard from Li Xiwu that she did not sleep well last night and guessed that it might be because of Yaoyao that glop did not sleep well Han Qianye also stopped thinking about bringing Li Xiwu home. She did not mention a word and only reminded her, Go back and rest early. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. She walked to the side and turned on her phone to send Yuanyuan a location. Yuanyuan replied quickly: [Miss Li, wait five minutes.] Li Xiwu typed a reply: [Drive slowly on the way.] After replying, she put away her phone. Someone approached her from behind. Li Xiwu did not notice the sound at first until a hand suddenly came over her shoulder. Then, Xue Jinzhu walked around and stood in front of her, shouting, Sister Li Li Xiwus voice was slightly faint. Go home early. Xue Jinzhu saw that Li Xiwus expression was not very good. Sister Li, are you upset about Ji Weiling? Li Xiwu looked up. Her calm eyes were almost cold. Xue Jinzhu was shocked. For the first time, she was a little afraid of Sister Lis true cold side. However, she was not frightened away by this. Instead, she comforted her. I think there should still be room for redemption regarding Ji Weiling. It will definitely be resolved Go back early. I still have to deal with work. Li Xiwu shared her location with Yuanyuan. Seeing that the page showed that Yuanyuan was only 400 meters away, she coldly pushed Xue Jinzhu away and walked forward. Sister Li! Xue Jinzhu chased after her. I usually dont like to pay attention to gossip other than playing cards, but this time, I really went to the front line to watch the show. After all, it burned down my house. I saw netizens guessing that Ji Weiling was deceived this time. Li Xiwu walked to the side of the road and stopped. She turned to look at Xue Jinzhu, who was anxious to do something for her. So Im going to deal with these things now. You dont have to do anything. Just take care of yourself. Xue Jinzhu nodded. I know. Ill take care of myself. Sister Li, dont worry. Taxes should be taxed. As long as my family cant finish digging, my fame will be imminent. Li Xiwu replied indifferently, Mhm. The car arrived. Li Xiwu opened the car door and got into the passenger seat. Yuanyuan called out to Li Xiwu with red eyes, Miss Li Li Xiwu looked at Yuanyuans state and scolded softly, Youre not suitable to drive in this state. What if something happens? When she sent Yuanyuan a WeChat message, she did not know that Yuanyuan was in a bad state, so she asked her to pick her up. If she had known, she would have taken a taxi there. Yuanyuan raised her hand and rubbed the tip of her red nose. It wont happen again. Li Xiwu said, You take the passenger seat. Ill drive. Yuanyuan nodded obediently. Okay. They switched seats. Li Xiwu adjusted the navigation and drove to Ji Weilings address. Yuanyuan had already adjusted her emotions. Miss Li, President Qi has already asked the public relations team to deal with the popularity in time, but this time, the opposite party is continuing to buy the trends. Sister Weilings Weibo is filled with scolding. Li Xiwus expression was calm. Has Qi Zishen made his girlfriend public? Yuanyuan shook her head. No. Li Xiwu snorted coldly. He doesnt have a fixed girlfriend at all. This is a trap. If nothing goes wrong, Lan Min is making a comeback. Yuanyuans eyes widened in surprise. Miss Li, do you mean that Lan Min did it this time? Li Xiwu said, I guessed. Lan Min was once a gold medal manager of Hua Guan Media, but her ability was limited. Later on, Lan Mins status decreased day by day, so Li Xiwu, who had made results, quickly replaced Lan Mins status in Hua Guan Media. The fair competition in the workplace was all based on strength. However, Lan Min was still unwilling to be replaced by Li Xiwu. Later on, Lan Min left Hua Guan Media and went to Tianyi Media. After that, Li Xiwu rarely heard any news about Lan Min. She had been on the down low for nearly a year. The reason why Li Xiwu suspected Lan Min was because she had received a greeting from Lan Min halfway through todays recording. The car quickly arrived at the apartment where Ji Weiling lived. Her savings after debuting for more than a year were not enough to support Ji Weiling to buy a house of her own in the third ring of the capital, so she was still renting a house. Yuanyuan opened the door. After Li Xiwu entered, she went straight to Ji Weilings bedroom. When she pressed the doorknob, she realized that the door was locked. Li Xiwu knocked a few times, but there was no reaction from inside. Yuanyuan was worried. Could something have happened? The door was still open when I came over. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. She knows you went out to pick me up. As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiwu took two steps back and cleared her cold voice. Call someone to open the door. Alright, Miss Li. Ill call immediately. Yuanyuan did not question Li Xiwus actions, but she was also a little silly and was really prepared to make a call. The next second, the door opened. Ji Weiling, whose hair was messy, stood inside the door. Her pajamas were crooked, but she was not sloppy. She was just a little bad. At this moment, Ji Weiling looked coldly at the two people standing outside the door. Finally, her gaze stopped on Li Xiwu. Miss Li, are you here to laugh at me? Li Xiwu said, What else? Ji Weiling took a deep breath. Then you should be very happy. Li Xiwu smiled. Yes, Im really glad you finally ruined yourself. Ji Weiling raised her hand to close the door. She didnt want to see anyone now, especially Li Xiwu, but before she could close the door, Li Xiwu suddenly reached out and pressed her foot against it. The next second, the door was kicked open by Li Xiwu. The edge of the rebound door hit the back of Ji Weilings hand. Ji Weiling cried out in pain. Li Xiwu strode in and pushed Ji Weiling back. Ji Weilings hand was still in pain. Before she could react, she was pushed back to the bed by Li Xiwu. Then, Li Xiwu reached out and grabbed Ji Weilings chin. Her voice was as cold as ice. Do you regret it? Ji Weiling insisted on fighting for her pride. She looked straight into Li Xiwus cold eyes without any fear. I wont regret it! Li Xiwu waved her hand. Ji Weiling lay on the bed, her hair even messier than before. Li Xiwu stood upright and took a deep breath to calm herself down. After a moment, she slowly said, Pack your bags and leave. Ji Weiling lay on the bed in a daze for a long time before she suddenly choked and laughed.. You really dont want me anymore Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Exposure, Threat to Reputation Chapter 223: Exposure, Threat to Reputation Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu sneered and asked, Why do you think I still want you? When Ji Weiling heard this, tears fell from her eyes. Miss Li, I Li Xiwu said, Ill ask you again. Do you regret it? Ji Weiling did not answer. Actually, she still had a little fantasy that Miss Li would forgive her for her mistake this time and give her another chance. She even regretted her attitude just now. She should have apologized the moment she saw Miss Li. But now, the opportunity was gone, and there was no way out. Li Xiwu leaned over and grabbed Ji Weilings shoulder to pull her up. Ji Weilings loose hair blurred her face. Li Xiwu pushed the hair away from her face bit by bit, revealing her beautiful face. But now, her beautiful face was filled with regret. Li Xiwu wiped the tears from Ji Weilings eyes. Tell me, do you regret it? Ji Weilings tears kept falling. I regret it. Li Xiwu wiped it once but did not wipe it for her a second time. Her expressionless face was so cold that it was shocking. Unfortunately, its too late. This was not the first time Yuanyuan had seen such a heartless Li Xiwu. Ji Weiling suddenly pushed Li Xiwu away angrily. Ive disappointed you. Its my fault! My fault!! But what I regret even more is that I signed the management contract with you back then! Li Xiwu smirked. Unfortunately, its too late to regret now. As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiwu turned around and said with her back facing the crying Ji Weiling, Go to Ying Huang and fend for yourself. Hua Guan Media cant tolerate you anymore. After saying what she had to say, Li Xiwu left. When Ji Weiling heard that Li Xiwu was going to throw her to the Ying Huang Entertainment to fend for herself, she immediately stood up and chased after her. Im not going to Ying Huang Entertainment. If I go there, its equivalent to being banned. Im not going. You cant treat me like this Ji Weiling grabbed Li Xiwus arm. But Li Xiwu shook her off. You have to go even if you dont. With that, Li Xiwu looked at the bewildered Yuanyuan. Look at her. Although Yuanyuan felt that Miss Li had been too ruthless this time and did not give Sister Weiling a chance at all, a mistake was a mistake. It was not something that could be excused with a few words. Especially this time. Miss Li had clearly reminded Sister Weiling once, but Sister Weiling still acted as if she was possessed and insisted on stepping into that fire pit. In the end, she destroyed herself with her own hands. Just as Ji Weiling was about to chase after her again, Yuanyuan went forward and pushed Ji Weiling into the house. Sister Weiling, calm down. Think about it carefully. Perhaps Ying Huang Entertainment is also a backup plan arranged by Miss Li. Ji Weiling cried bitterly. With my current reputation, going to Ying Huang Entertainment is not a way out. Its a dead end. Why did she treat me like this? Why Yuanyuan frowned. Why dont you know? Ji Weiling was stunned. Yuanyuan reminded her, Sister Weiling, I thought you knew best why you came to this step. You clearly let Miss Li down. You knew that it was a fire pit, but you still jumped into it. Ji Weilings eyes were red. Even if I was wrong, she shouldnt have forced me to a dead end, right? Yuanyuan said softly, Because of Sister Xie Wens incident, Miss Li has always protected you very well. This time, you were bewitched by Qi Zishen, which made Miss Li even sadder. She feels very guilty for not protecting you well this time. Ji Weilings voice broke. But Miss Li said that its too late Li Xiwu had returned to the car. When she was at Ji Weilings house, she was very calm. Now that she was out, the emotions hidden under her calm appearance could collapse at any moment. She tried her best to stabilize her emotions so that her mind would not be disturbed by these things. After a long time, she took out her phone and opened the WeChat messages from Lan Min. Lan Min: [picture] Lan Min: [Does it look familiar?] Lan Min: [Dont you think its a coincidence? I saw someone who looks very similar to you on the blind date show recently. If I didnt know you very well, I would have thought this was you.] Lan Min: [You should be very busy recently, right? But I think you should be able to resolve these small troubles easily with your ability.] Li Xiwu read the four WeChat messages from Lan Min several times. The first WeChat photo was of her standing on the stage for Qiao Qiao. Recalling that at the beginning of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show, she only wanted to get that sum of money. At that time, she didnt expect herself to be so popular on the variety show. Later, when she was tempted by Qiao Qiao, she also went on that show with the attitude that she was always a commoner. Who would care about a commoner? And yet. One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it. Ever since she went on Palpitation Light, everything she experienced and everything that happened around her no longer developed according to the original plan. She became more and more famous and gradually became known by more people. Then, her identity as Mother Dragon was exposed again. With the double popularity, she received a lot of attention. And the problem she was facing now was that Lan Min had something on her. This was a time bomb that could explode at any moment. If the netizens discovered it first, they could quickly refute the rumors the moment they were exposed online. However, this weakness was in Lan Mins hands. In addition, Lan Min was a manager, so she knew best how to use this long photo to cause public opinion. There was a long hesitation. Li Xiwu called Lan Min. When the call went through, Li Xiwu said calmly, Miss Lan, are you free tonight? Ive booked a restaurant and want to invite you for a chat. On the other end of the line, Lan Min chuckled. Li Xiwu, youre still so polite. However, you really think too highly of me. Li Xiwu said, I wonder if Miss Lan can do me the honor. Lan Min smiled. Send me the location. After a short conversation, Li Xiwu quickly booked a high-end restaurant and sent the location to Lan Min. Just as she was about to put away her phone and set off for the restaurant, Pei Jingzhou called. Li Xiwu Dicked it uD. I have a dinner aDD0intment tonight. Ill be home later. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Where are you eating? Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Do you have to ask? Pei Jingzhou said, Ill pick you up after the meal. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and told Pei Jingzhou which restaurant it was. Pei Jingzhou did not ask who she was eating with. He only reminded her to send him a message ten minutes before the meal ended. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. Just as she was about to hang up, she suddenly remembered Yaoyao. Li Xiwu asked, Has Madam Dixin fetched Yaoyao? Before leaving the house, he had agreed that when Madam Di Xin came to pick him up, he would call to say goodbye to her. However, she did not receive a call from Yaoyao all day. She wondered if the kid had been picked up in a hurry so he hadnt had time to call her to say goodbye.. Chapter 224 - Chapter 224: Choose Exposure and Bear All the Consequences Chapter 224: Choose Exposure and Bear All the Consequences Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou said, He hasnt been picked up yet. Li Xiwu was stunned. Yaoyao hasnt been picked up yet? Pei Jingzhou told her, Madam Di Xin is not out of the hospital yet. The little ghost will stay at our house for the time being. Madam Di Xin was sick, so Li Xiwu naturally couldnt speculate much. She just thought, Then all day today Pei Jingzhou said, I watched him all day. He never left my sight for a minute. Li Xiwu was a little surprised. So, Fourth Brother has been at home all day to take care of Yaoyao? Not at home. Hmm? I took the kid to the office. Not only did Pei Jingzhou take care of Yaoyao for the entire day, but he also brought him to the company. This was something Li Xiwu would never have expected. Pei Jingzhou guessed what she was thinking. Are you surprised? Li Xiwu said truthfully, A little. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Just treat it as adapting in advance. Li Xiwu was slow to react for a few seconds. Adapt to what in advance? Pei Jingzhou was in a good mood. Even his voice was mixed with laughter. What do you think? Li Xiwu, who had reacted, was speechless. She hung up. Just as she was about to drive, she looked up and suddenly realized that her lips were curled up in the rearview mirror. It turned out that her mood had improved a lot after this call. It wasnt so heavy anymore. She arrived at the restaurant. Li Xiwu waited for about half an hour before Lan Min arrived. Lan Min came alone. When she entered the private room and saw Li Xiwu, she came forward and hugged her kindly. Long time no see, old friend. Li Xiwu returned the same enthusiastic smile. How have you been? Lan Min placed her bag on the seat beside her and sat down beside Li Xiwu. Whether its good or not, you have to be more specific. For example? Li Xiwu said, Your health. Lan Min smiled faintly. My health is not as good as before. In the past, I often stayed up late to deal with work and suffered from some occupational diseases. Recently, Ive been drinking Chinese medicine to recuperate. Li Xiwu said caringly, Take care of yourself. Lan Min looked at Li Xiwu. What about you? How have you been? Is there a lot on your mind? Li Xiwus lips were flat. Some. Lan Min asked kindly, Do you need any help? Ill help you if I can. Li Xiwu looked up at Lan Min. I need help, but it depends on whether Miss Lan is willing. Lan Min raised her hand and patted Li Xiwus arm. What do you mean by whether Im willing or not? Youre being too polite. We used to be in the same company after all. You were even guided by me. The last few words were a deliberate reminder to Li Xiwu of what had happened back then. Lan Min personally guided her, but when she turned around, she replaced Lan Min. Li Xiwu said, You can ask for anything. Lan Min smiled. What request? As long as you tell the truth publicly. Li Xiwu asked, What truth? The smile in Lan Mins eyes faded as she looked at Li Xiwu coldly. Admit publicly that back then, you schemed to snatch five resources from me and forced me to quit Hua Guan Media. It was a matter of reputation. Lan Min knew that it was impossible for Li Xiwu to agree, but she had something on her now. She had to grind it until Li Xiwu agreed. However, to Lan Mins surprise, Li Xiwu agreed without even beating around the bush. Sure. Lan Min raised her eyebrows. Do you think Im joking with you? Li Xiwus gaze was serious. Are you kidding me? Lan Min was speechless. The next second, Lan Min laughed out loud. When I questioned you back then, you refused to admit it. Now that youre famous, you know to care about your reputation, so you have to admit it, right? Li Xiwu looked very calm. So all you want is a public apology from me? Lan Min looked at Li Xiwu. Yes. Li Xiwu said, Sure. Lan Min looked down on her. Compared to losing your reputation, such an unimportant public apology seems too easy for you. Li Xiwu smiled. Lan Mindi looked at Li Xiwu. First, there was Xie Wen, then something happened to Ji Weiling. Do you think the netizens will think that theres something wrong with you? The two female celebrities you brought up are both love-minded. Li Xiwus face darkened. Let Ji Weiling go. Lan Min pursed her lips. I dont have the ability to get Qi Zishen to help me do anything. I just got Qi Zishens previous girlfriend to help me a little. Qi Zishen is too clear about which is more important between his career and a woman. Although it might be not enough? Li Xiwus hands clenched at her sides. Lan Min suddenly leaned closer to Li Xiwu. Do you know how I caught you? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows in curiosity. Im all ears. Lan Min said, It was all such a coincidence. My cousin also participated in this blind date show. Whats more, she was at the same time as you. Because we didnt meet during that period of time, I didnt hear her mention what happened during the recording. In the end, we met two days ago. Guess what? My cousin saw your WeChat Moments. No! Lan Min corrected her. It should be that post on your friends Moments. I heard my cousin complain that your friends plastic surgery is making her look more and more like a female guest on a certain in-law variety show. She even took a screenshot for me and asked me if she looked like her. When I saw it, I realized that it was not just a resemblance. It was clearly the same person. Li Xiwu: Lan Mins face was about to burst into laughter. Does your mother-in-law on the variety show know that you were on a blind date show during the recording of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show? Does your executive husband know that you were on a blind date show? Its not easy to be the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, right? Is life like walking on thin ice? However, its just an ordinary wealthy family. Theyre flaunting their worth on the show like hundreds of billions. I think the settings are still a little exaggerated. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. So what do you want? Lan Min looked straight at Li Xiwu. Use your Internet celebrity account with tens of millions of fans and publicly apologize to me. Introduce me to a copy of the good resources in the future. I dont want the money, in case you say that Im extorting you. Li Xiwu smiled. Ill think about it. Lan Min said, Take your time. Theres no hurry. Throughout the meal, they each had their own thoughts. When Lan Min left, she even hugged Li Xiwu affectionately. Think about it when you get back. Li Xiwu said, Ill think about it. After Lan Min left, Li Xiwu sat quietly in the private room for a long time. Finally, she called Qiao Qiao and told her about the situation. Qiao Qiaos temper was very explosive. When she heard this, she was furious. Is this person shameless? Shes clearly the one whos incapable and shallow. Thats a resource she didnt want and gave it to you. It just happened to make Xie Wen famous. Now, shes saying that you snatched it away? Is she learning shame? Li Xiwu said, Alright, Qiaoer. Its useless to say this now. She has something on me. Qiao Qiao quieted down. Thinking that she was responsible for a lot of this, she whispered, Bae, what should we do now? Before making this call to Qiao Qiao, which was the few minutes of sitting quietly, Li Xiwu had thought it through. She said slowly, Ill just expose everything. Ill bear all the consequences.. Chapter 225 - Chapter 225: Pei Jingzhou: You ‘re Mrs. Pei. No One Can Make You Lower Your Head Chapter 225: Pei Jingzhou: You re Mrs. Pei. No One Can Make You Lower Your Head Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu did not return to Lake Lu tonight. She went to the market alone and bought her favorite dishes. Then she drove back to the small courtyard in the suburbs. She turned on the heater, changed out of her jacket, put on an apron, pulled her hair up, and began to busy herself with dinner. She added pure milk to the hotpot base and added her favorite dishes. A spicy hotpot that looked, smelled, and tasted good was served. Other than the hot Malatang in front of her, the surrounding atmosphere was quiet and a little lonely. She poured herself a cup of peach blossom wine. It was fragrant and mellow. Although the aftertaste was endless, she felt that something was missing, so she changed the peach blossom wine to throat-burning white wine. Only then was she satisfied. Pei Jingzhou called. Li Xiwu picked it up. Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou did not ask where she was or what she was doing. He only asked, Are you still going home tonight? Li Xiwu endured the discomfort in her throat. Im not going back. Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. Li Xiwu said, If theres nothing else, thats all for now. Pei Jingzhou asked, For now? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Im hanging up. Honey. He called out to his wife in a low voice. There was an indescribable love and gentleness in the receiver. Li Xiwu smiled. Fourth Brother, sleep early. Ill leave Yaoyao to you tonight. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. The two of us havent eaten dinner just to wait for you. Were cold and hungry, and yet my wife didnt care. Li Xiwu was surprised. Cold and hungry? Pei Jingzhou said, Yes, Im so hungry that Im hallucinating. I can even vaguely smell the fragrance of hotpot. I wonder if its hotpot. Li Xiwu: She slowly raised her eyes and saw a blinding light shining in the direction of the door outside the originally dark courtyard. Li Xiwu ended the call and stood up, walking towards the door. When she reached the door, the high beams changed to close ones. She saw Pei Jingzhou sitting in the drivers seat. He was looking at her with a faint smile in his eyes. Li Xiwu opened the door of the small courtyard and came out. Pei Jingzhou had already gotten out of the car. Li Xiwu walked over and asked, Wheres Yaoyao? Pei Jingzhou said in a jealous tone, It seems that that brat is more important to you than me. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. I cant say anything if you were to say that. Pei Jingzhou said, A scumbags quote. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhou smiled happily and tilted his head. Hes in the car. Li Xiwu walked over. In the backseat, Yaoyao curled up and was already asleep. Probably because sleep was light, Yaoyao woke up as soon as Li Xiwu opened the car door. The moment Yaoyao saw Li Xiwu, he thought that he was dreaming, so when Li Xiwu picked him up, he was not surprised. He took the initiative to wrap his arms around Li Xiwus neck and murmured, Mom Li Xiwu stiffened. She knew that this was a childs instinct. Even if he did not have a mother by his side, he would always fantasize that he had a mother. Although he usually did not show it, he would inadvertently show his desire for kinship. She carried Yaoyao into the small courtyard and placed him on the bed in the house for him to continue sleeping. When she came out after adjusting the heater, Pei Jingzhou had already taken a set of bowls and chopsticks and sat down at the small table to wait for her. After coming over and sitting down, she looked up at him. How can Fourth Brother be sure that Im here? What if Im at Qiao Qiaos? Pei Jingzhou changed her wine to the original peach blossom wine. Even if youre not here, Ive only made a wasted trip. As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou looked up at her. The two of them looked at each other, and the smile in his eyes did not fade. As for your friend, she has been plagued by trouble recently. Li Xiwu rested her elbows on the table and rested her chin on her palms. Fourth Brother even knows this. Pei Jingzhou said, Thats not all. I know everything about you. Li Xiwu was stunned. She slowly lowered her hand. Pei Jingzhou was clearly not joking. He poured her a cup of peach blossom wine and placed it in front of her. The white wine burns the throat. Dont drink too much. Li Xiwu picked up the cup of peach blossom wine Pei Jingzhou had poured for her. I could reflect after it scorches my throat. Pei Jingzhou: Reflect? Yes. Li Xiwu took a shallow sip. After all, I did something wrong. Pei Jingzhous eyes darkened. If youre talking about doing something wrong, Ive done many things wrong in my life. In front of you, this small matter is not worth mentioning. Li Xiwu pursed her lips in silence. She knew very well that the Pei familys history was not open and aboveboard. But thinking about it, how many dignitaries had a clean history now? Perhaps to continue the conversation, she asked, Can Fourth Brother tell me this? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. You want to hear it? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Im bored anyway. Ill just treat it as killing time. The smile on Pei Jingzhous lips spread as he recounted the past in a calm tone. Everything was out. When she heard it, she felt that it was scary. Li Xiwu had never asked about these things in the past. The less she knew about the matters of the nobles, the safer she would be. She had infiltrated too much and it was difficult for her to be alone. In the end, Li Xiwu suddenly realized that Pei Jingzhou seemed to be comforting her? The truth was just as she thought. Pei Jingzhou cut to the chase. This is just a small matter that can be ignored. Its not enough to trouble you or even affect your mood. Li Xiwu had her own concerns. But Pei Jingzhou said, No buts. His tone was domineering and authoritative. Youre Mrs. Pei. No one can make you lower your head. Li Xiwu was stunned. In her memory, she had known Pei Jingzhou for three years. The two of them rarely sat down and chatted about this. He never asked her about her worries, but it was probably because she was focused on her career at that time and had nothing on her mind. As for the Pei familys background, she initially thought that she was not qualified to ask. Later on, she thought that there was no need to ask. Now that she thought about it carefully, she had always distanced herself from Pei Jingzhou. She never took the initiative to tell him about herself, but every time, he would silently resolve it for her. As her thoughts drifted, Pei Jingzhou, who was sitting opposite her, slowly stood up and sat beside her. They were next to each other. Li Xiwu glanced sideways and saw Pei Jingzhou slowly lean over. His lips were close to her ear. With your status as Mrs. Pei, you can do whatever you want in the entire capital. No matter what you do, I can take responsibility for you. So what are you worried about? Li Xiwus breath caught. 1 Pei Jingzhou raised his hand to cup her face and turned to face him. Is it because of the contract marriage from three years ago? Li Xiwus breathing stopped again, and her throat felt a little blocked. Fourth Brother, theres still more than a month before our contract marriage ends. At that time, I wont be Mrs. Pei anymore.. Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Pei Jingzhou Telling Li Xiwu Her Background Chapter 226: Pei Jingzhou Telling Li Xiwu Her Background Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou smiled. Then he stood up and turned to leave. He left just like that without saying a word. Li Xiwu only stared at his back in silence, feeling even more stifled. She ate in silence, but she couldnt taste the food. Just as she was so depressed that she couldnt continue eating, Pei Jingzhou returned. Li Xiwu noticed that Pei Jingzhou, who had returned, was holding a yellow paper bag. He walked to her side and sat down as close as before. He opened the yellow paper bag and took out the document inside. He gently placed it in front of Li Xiwu. Take a look. Of course, Li Xiwu would not ask Pei Jingzhou what this was again after seeing the words prenuptial agreement. She opened the document and read it to confirm that it was the one from back then. It was also signed by Pei Jingzhou. Curious, she turned to him. Is there a problem with that? Pei Jingzhou pointed at a certain spot. The last clause of the general provisions of the agreement: The final right of the agreement belongs to the couple. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhou smiled. You should know the last sentence of the general rule of the agreement. Its very important. Li Xiwu: That wasnt all. Pei Jingzhous fingertips moved up and stopped on the sixth article of the general provisions of the agreement. During the agreement period, if Party B unilaterally proposes to end the marriage and violates the agreement, the final break off of the agreement will belong to Party A. Now that youve mentioned it, the final rights will belong to me. Li Xiwu: She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. Back then Pei Jingzhou said, Back then, it was written clearly in black and white. There were also surveillance cameras in the room where you signed. Everything I said to you and everything you said was monitored. Li Xiwu choked. She closed her eyes hard. Finally, she sighed. So this is a scheme. Pei Jingzhou smiled meaningfully. How can it be a scheme? Its to protect my rights and interests. Im focused on maintaining my marriage, but youre thinking about divorce. If I dont protect my rights and interests and you run away, how can I live without you for the rest of my life? He said it casually, as if he was joking. However, Li Xiwu noticed the helplessness and grievance in Pei Jingzhous eyes when he said this. Li Xiwu was a little moved, but she still asked rationally, Did Fourth Brother say that to me or her? Pei Jingzhou said, No one else. Only you. Li Xiwu blurted out, Then am I a substitute? Pei Jingzhou replied without hesitation, No. Li Xiwu suddenly stood up. Pei Jingzhou sat still and looked up at Li Xiwu quietly. Li Xiwu was not very calm. From her expression, it was obvious that she was flustered from the inside out. After she surprisingly obtained the answer she wanted from Pei Jingzhou, she first cowered and did not have the courage to continue asking. She knocked over a stool as she retreated. Pei Jingzhou stood up immediately to support her. Be careful. Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhou, who was worried about her, in a daze. She pondered for a moment before asking, Why did you choose to tell me this time? Pei Jingzhou said, I wanted to tell you. Li Xiwu choked on a laugh. It should be because Im slowly recovering my memories after returning from Mount Liang, right? Pei Jingzhou did not answer. Li Xiwu said, Youve seen the sketchbook? Pei Jingzhou admitted, Yes. Li Xiwu calmed herself down and asked with a sigh, So, is Li Huaisheng really my father? Pei Jingzhou stared into her eyes in silence for a long time before slowly saying, Yes. The moment she really knew the truth, Li Xiwu calmed down. Why? Because she had no memories of the past now, except when she heard Pei Jingzhou admit that she was not a substitute. She was very surprised that Pei Jingzhou chose to tell her tonight. Pei Jingzhou looked at Li Xiwu, who had quickly calmed down. I respect everything about you, but I wont tell you much about your past memories for the time being. Li Xiwu asked, Why? Pei Jingzhou said, Thats too painful for you. Pei Jingzhou would never forget that when he came out of the ICU and woke up after being in a coma for more than ten days, he saw the scene he did not want to remember the most in his life. Even after four years, his heart still ached uncontrollably. The destroyed face, self-mutilating wounds, walking corpse She had no intention of living. She was so thin that she looked withered, and her body was almost exhausted. Li Xiwu asked hesitantly, Is it too painful because of my fathers death? Pei Jingzhou was too afraid that the person in front of him would return to her previous self. He would not mention much about the past and only agreed. Li Xiwu said, What about my mother? Pei Jingzhou said, She passed away. Li Xiwus breath caught. Dont I have any other family? Pei Jingzhou said word by word, The Li family is a descendant of Zanying. There are some collateral families, but your grandparents are no longer around. Your father is your grandparents only son, and you are your fathers only daughter. As for your mother, the MO family in the Capital provides your longevity token. Li Xiwu was surprised. The MO family in the Capital, the Longevity Token? Pei Jingzhou pulled her into the house. Your grandmother didnt believe that you were gone, so she offered a longevity tablet for you in the MO family and prayed for your longevity. Now that Madam Di Xin has come, I believe it wont be long before the MO family comes. Li Xiwu stopped, and so did Pei Jingzhou. Li Xiwu looked up at him and asked, Why did you choose to tell me this today? Pei Jingzhous expression was so gentle. Youre already recovering your memories. I dont want the past that you remember intermittently to become a worry that traps you. Li Xiwu sighed. If I say I can handle the past, you can Pei Jingzhou interrupted her. Its late. We should rest. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. In the end, she did not ask again. She knew that no matter how much she asked, she could not personally feel the past because there were no memories in her mind. As for pain, Li Xiwu couldnt imagine how much her previous experience had hurt her. Just as Pei Jingzhou had said, what if she really couldnt bear her previous memories? She came into the room. Yaoyao, who should have been sleeping soundly, was sitting on the bed with a blank expression, looking around the room curiously. When he saw Li Xiwu enter, his dazed eyes instantly became clear. Hug The moment Li Xiwu saw Yaoyao reach out to her, all her worries were temporarily put aside. She went forward to hug Yaoyao. The smile on Li Xiwus lips spread unknowingly. Have you been waiting for me today? Yaoyao nodded.. Chapter 228 - Chapter 228: So She’s Mrs. Pei! Chapter 228: So Shes Mrs. Pei! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lan Min was a clear-headed person. But she would not let the person she hated off easily! Li Xiwu, did you bring these people to scare me so that I would back off? Lan Min calmed down and pretended not to be frightened. After pausing for a few seconds, Lan Min quickly added, Also, you said that theyre from the Triads, right? Are you sure you didnt just find someone to fool me? Dong, who stood at the side, fixed Lan Min with a malicious gaze. Fool? It seems you know nothing about your situation. Dongs aura was strong. A casual sentence could scare Lan Min into silence. Buzz buzz buzz. The phone on the coffee table was vibrating. Lan Min quickly picked up the phone. Hello, Boss Lin. The person on the other end of the line seemed to have said something. Lan Mins expression changed. Boss Lin, wait a moment, 1 Before Lan Min could finish, the line was hung up. Lan Min looked up at Li Xiwu and swallowed before saying slowly, Something happened to Tianyi Media. Boss Lin asked me who I offended. Li Xiwu lowered her eyes. What do you think? Lan Min was suddenly agitated. Li Xiwu, how how did you get involved with the Triad? Li Xiwu looked at the incredulous Lan Min. Are you surprised? Lan Min was not as arrogant as before. Her tone was much weaker. Youre clearly just No, who are you? Just as she finished speaking, Dong called out, right on cue, Mrs. Pei. Li Xiwu turned. Dong said slowly, If theres not enough time to deal with it here, Mr. Pei said to delay todays live broadcast. Li Xiwu said calmly, Theres no need to delay it. Dong nodded. Okay. Lan Mins eyes widened in shock. Mrs. Pei? According to Lan Min, Li Xiwus husbands public identity on the show was an executive of R.E! And R.E. belonged to the Pei Corporation! The person from the Triad just now actually called Li Xiwu Mrs. Pei No wonder No wonder Li Xiwu was so arrogant. No wonder she could order the Triads around. She actually had the Pei Corporation behind her. The so-called corporate executive was actually that person from the Pei Corporation. Lan Min finally understood why she could not find out the identity of Li Xiwus husband before his identity was exposed. She had actually provoked someone she could not afford to offend! Li Xiwus eyes cast a shadow. Lan Min. Lan Min was terrified. Huh? Li Xiwu said, We should mind our own business. Lan Min, who had been in the capital circle for so many years, knew the background of the Triads. It was said that the chairman of the Pei Corporation was once the leader of the Triads when he was young. Even though the Triads disappeared later and were rarely mentioned, they were still avoided. Lan Min did not expect Li Xiwus executive husbands true identity to be the head of the Pei Corporation! She almost got herself into trouble. In an instant, Lan Mins domineering attitude changed. No! Its not that we mind our own business. I was blind. Xiwu, I promise you that everything I know will automatically be erased from my memory. I will never mention another word. I hope you mean what you say. Li Xiwus voice was slightly cold. Lan Min, youre not shallow. You should know this. Lan Min nodded in fear. I know, I know. Li Xiwu looked up at Lan Min deeply before turning to leave. She did not take the document away. Her goal today was just to give her a taste of her own medicine. Since Lan Min had threatened her, she naturally had to threaten her back. She could use the same method! After Li Xiwu left, Dong did not leave with Li Xiwu immediately. He slowly paced up to Lan Min. When the Triads are mobilized, they often end in another way. Do you understand me? Lan Min was so frightened that her face turned pale. I understand. Im sorry. I was wrong. Please dont make things difficult for me. Dong smiled. Mrs. Pei has already spoken. Dont worry, we wont do anything without permission. Lan Min heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. However, before she could heave a sigh of relief, she heard this person say, Mrs. Pei only used the method you used to deal with her and returned it to you, so Mrs. Pei wont do anything to you, but it doesnt mean that Mr. Pei will let you off. Lan Mins pupils trembled. Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei Dong raised his hand and placed his palm on the top of Lan Mins head. If you have the chance to be a person, be a good person. This world is not as beautiful as you think. You have to be glad that Mrs. Pei came personally. If Mr. Pei came There was no need to finish. Lan Min swallowed hard. I-I understand. Dong smiled. Lets go. The moment everyone left, Lan Min seemed to have lost all her strength and her feet slid down. She was so close. She was so close to causing a disaster! Just as that person had said, fortunately, it was Li Xiwu who came today. In order to avoid any accidents, Lan Min quickly deleted all the threats stored in her phone! And the chat with her cousin had all been deleted. As she was working, she suddenly received a message on Weibo # Palpitation Light Removal and Modification # Lan Min was very shocked just by seeing the words Palpitation Light. Afraid that she had accidentally exposed something, her fingertips trembled as she opened this Weibo post. When she saw the topic, she finally felt a little more at ease. A TV station V: [We received a report today that our live-service show, Palpitation Light, has deceived the audience. From today onwards, the show will be taken off the shelves and modified. The recovery time will be released separately. Thank you for your attention.] The post went up. It quickly caused a heated discussion. A large number of netizens exclaimed: [Ive long heard that more than half of the female guests on this show are shills. Sometimes, the male guests are also shills. Its simply a lie.] [The original intention of this show was still alright. At that time, the twenty female guests and the male guests who participated in every episode were all serious about settling their marriage. Later on, because there was nothing to watch, there was a plot in many episodes.] [Who reported it? Ill give you a thumbs up. This blind date show should have been modified long ago.] [I remember that this show was reported many times, but the viewership ratings were alright at that time, so it held. Could it be that they formed a team to report it this time?] [Actually, not only is this show getting more and more fake, but I also heard from my friend that some of the female guests have a messy relationship with the organizers of the show.] [Some female guests slept with the director the night before and successfully held hands with a male guest the next day. That male guest is really a huge injustice..] Chapter 229 - Chapter 229: This Time, She Did Something Big! Chapter 229: This Time, She Did Something Big! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The heated discussion was overwhelming. However, at the same time, the popularity also decreased very quickly. The entries were trending for less than an hour before they quickly decreased. After reading this heated discussion, Li Xiwu gestured to the driver in front of her. Turn down the volume of the morning broadcast. The driver agreed and immediately turned down the volume. Li Xiwu found Qiao Qiaos phone number and dialed it. After waiting for the other party to pick up, Li Xiwu cut straight to the chase and said, Do you know that the show will be taken down and modified temporarily? Qiao Qiao stammered, No, I dont know. Is it really taken down? Then its a good thing that this show is taken down! Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled faintly. Arent you going to explain? Qiao Qiao stammered, Explain,.. what? Li Xiwu asked, You reported it, didnt you? Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly. Bae, did you guess that it was me just by looking at the trending searches? Didnt you guess that it was your husband? What if it was your husband who did it? To be honest, Li Xiwu had guessed that too. When she saw that the show had been reported, her first reaction was to think of Pei Jingzhou. Originally, she had mobilized the Triads today to avenge her, so reporting this show to the public was something Pei Jingzhou could do. But he thought about it carefully. With Pei Jingzhous attitude recently, he should have mentioned it to her to let her know instead of seeing this trending topic for no reason. Then, she would call him and ask him again before explaining slowly. If Pei Jingzhou was excluded, who else could successfully take down this blind date show at this juncture? It should only be Qiao Qiao. Because Qiao Qiao had Qiao Jingmo by her side now. Qiao Qiao said in a muffled voice, Bae, why are you always so good at deduction? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Thats not a deduction. Its telepathy. Qiao Qiao was happy to hear this. Were really telepathic. Alright, I did this wicked thing. Li Xiwu said, Huh? Qiao Qiao said, I Pick up my bowl and eat. Put it down and curse my mother. Li Xiwu: Needless to say, that was an apt phrase. Previously, Qiao Qiao had been working as a shill for a long time and had earned some money from this show. After earning money from the blind date show, she turned around and reported the blind date show. It was really appropriate to what Qiao Qiao had said just now: Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and curse her mother. However, Qiao Qiao also found a good reason for herself. You know, in the past, there were only two or three shills on this show. It was still very real. At that time, when I saw everyone resolve their marriage in full swing, I wanted to resolve it too. In the end, the organizers arranged more and more shills. Occasionally, they even arranged all kinds of romantic plots, but they were all fake. It wasnt wrong to report them. Li Xiwu laughed. Thats quite a self-comfort. Qiao Qiao said, I felt guilty for a few seconds, but when I thought about it carefully, the burden in my heart suddenly lessened. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and took a deep breath Thank you. No, no, no. Qiao Qiao was anxious. Dont thank me. Its all my fault this time. If I hadnt had a stroke, you wouldnt have been stumped by this. President Pei must have wanted to cut me off. There was a pause. Qiao Qiao continued, But at that time, you and I both thought that we would be able to safely take part in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show. In the end, you became famous. I thought that no one would pay attention, but in the end, the entire Internet paid attention. It was completely unexpected. Li Xiwu lowered her eyes in silence. Because Qiao Qiao was right. No matter how much she had predicted and weighed it in her heart, she had not thought that she would receive much attention on the in-law variety show. The call went on for a long time. Because of Qiao Jingmos approach, Qiao Qiao was forced to end the call with Li Xiwu. When she turned around, she looked dissatisfied. Cant we talk later? Im on the phone with my baby! Qiao Jingmo didnt look too good. Qiao Qiao thought that he was unhappy that she had shouted at him. Before Qiao Jingmo could speak, she retreated and put away her phone. Dont confiscate my phone this time. If you confiscate it again, youd better leave an eye on guard tonight! Qiao Jingmo looked at Qiao Qiao, who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. Pack your luggage and return to Xingzhou immediately. Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted strongly. She had only taken a small step back just now, but now she immediately took a big step back and distanced herself from Qiao Jingmo. Didnt we agree on five days?! Why should it be early? I wont! I firmly defend my human rights and wont go back early! Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door. Qiao Jingmo looked up. Come in. The bodyguard, Jing Cheng, led a middle-aged woman in and instructed, Go pack Miss Qiaos luggage. The middle-aged woman was an auntie the bodyguard had called from the hotel. She was in charge of helping the guests pack their luggage. She nodded and said, Okay. Then she turned and went inside. Seeing this, Qiao Qiao shouted, Dont go in! Dont touch my things. Stop! The middle-aged woman looked at the bodyguard, Jing Cheng, in a difficult position. This Qiao Jingmo said, If we are delayed, Ill complain as usual. When the middle-aged woman heard this, she did not dare to make things difficult for her anymore. She quickly went in to pack her luggage. Qiao Qiao was furious. She was about to follow when Qiao Jingmo suddenly grabbed her wrist. Qiao Qiao struggled, but she couldnt shake him off. Qiao Jingmo i s wrist was terrifyingly strong. Qiao Qiaos eyes were red with anxiety. Cant we go back on time? Why must we go early? Qiao Jingmos throat tightened, and his voice gradually lowered. Its your grandfather. Qiao Qiao snorted coldly. He hasnt looked for me for three years. Every time he looked for me, he wanted to see me so quickly. Could it be that he lost his memory in the past three years and doesnt remember that he still has a granddaughter outside? Now that he remembers, he wants to bring me back quickly? These words were too cold. But there was nothing wrong with looking at it from Qiao Qiaos point of view. Because in the past three years, Old Master Qiao had indeed not sent anyone to look for her, nor had he mentioned picking her up. He had not even called her once, as if he had forgotten that he had a biological granddaughter outside. On the other hand, when Mr. and Mrs. Qiao contacted Qiao Qiao, they had hoped that Qiao Qiao would return to Xingzhou several times. But they had never come to look for Qiao Qiao personally, let alone pick her up. To be honest, Qiao Qiao had been resentful for the past three years. Could this be the price for letting her grow up? Then what was the point of such kinship to her? No matter how close someone was, they were just becoming strangers bit by bit. At this moment, she was still very determined to express her attitude. Im not going back now. Anyway, five days, as much as possible. Qiao Jingmo sighed. Its too late. It might be too late. Qiao Qiao was stunned. Her dark eyes stared straight at Qiao Jingmo. What do you mean? Qiao Jingmo took her hand and walked out. Go back and see Grandpa one last time. I hope its not too late.. Chapter 230 - Chapter 230: Get the Marriage Certificate Chapter 230: Get the Marriage Certificate Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The last time. He said that he would take her back to see her grandfather one last time When she heard this, Qiao Qiao looked stunned. She let Qiao Jingmo take her hand and walk out. They took the elevator downstairs, got into the car, went to the airport, and boarded the plane. Five to six hours of flying time was enough for Qiao Qiao to think about many, many things. When they got off the plane and came out of the airport, it was already past two in the afternoon. The car arranged by the Qiao family was already waiting outside the airport. The driver and bodyguard still recognized her. When they saw her, they would respectfully call her, Miss. Qiao Qiao nodded. With a heavy heart, she almost bumped into the car door. Qiao Jingmo pulled her back and her back bumped into his arms. She was still in a daze and couldnt react for a long time. Until Qiao Jingmo reminded her from above, Be careful. Only then did Qiao Qiao come back to her senses and realize that she was leaning against Qiao Jingos arms. Her wrist broke free of his shackles and she leaned over to get into the car. She slowly moved to the other side in front of him. She didnt think much about the small accident just now. All she could think about was that her grandfather had been sick for a long time. Not long ago, when she got on the plane, Qiao Jingmo told her that her grandfather had actually been sick for a long time. Recently, his health had been getting worse and worse, and he was on the verge of death. He was afraid that he wouldnt be able to see Qiao Qiao one last time if this dragged on, so he asked Qiao Jingmo to come to the capital to find Qiao Qiao and bring her back. When the video call was connected that day, Qiao Qiao had clearly seen that the old man on the screen was still very healthy. Why was he suddenly waiting for her to go back and see him one last time? This stinky old man! What last time? It must be a way to trick her into going back. It had to be! Last time, her mother had said that the old man had found someone to read his fortune. It was not a problem for him to live to a hundred years old. This was still far from it. The atmosphere in the car became very oppressive. Qiao Jingmo looked at her sideways. Dont worry too much. Theres still a thirteen -minute drive. Qiao Qiao suddenly turned around. Shao Jingmo! This shout was very loud. It seemed to be a shout, but it was actually a roar! The driver and the bodyguard sitting in the front passenger seat were shocked for a moment, then resisted the urge to look in the rearview mirror. Qiao Qiaos face was tense as she glared coldly at Qiao Jingmo. Qiao Jingmos expression was indifferent. Speak. Qiao Qiao moved over and grabbed Qiao Jingmos collar with both hands. You better have lied to me. If you lied to me this time, I can forgive you. Qiao Jingmo said, I will never lie to you. Qiao Qiaos eyes were red as she tightened her grip on Qiao Jingmos collar. You must have lied to me! You must have! Qiao Jingmo looked down at the small hands holding his collar. They were clearly so small, but they used so much strength to grip his collar tightly, forcing him to lower his head. He raised his hand and pried her hand away bit by bit. The eldest daughter of the Qiao family should be like the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. Qiao Qiao was disappointed and frustrated. Her hands slowly fell to her sides. All the arrogance from before was gone. In an instant, it was as if all the strength in her body had been sucked away. After more than ten minutes of driving, the towering iron gate in front of them slowly opened. A neatly trimmed green scene appeared in front of them. After passing through the garden, a villa in a retro building from the last century appeared in front of him. Just a glance made them feel sacred and solemn. Following the winter solstice, the golden plums in the garden bloomed. The car window rolled down, and a rich fragrance wafted past the tip of her nose. Qiao Qiao looked out the window and said, Thats a plum tree planted by Grandpa himself. Every tree. Qiao Jingmo glanced sideways. The golden plums are blooming very well this year. Qiao Qiao suddenly turned her head. Does this mean something? Qiao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Such as? Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. It means that Grandpas health will get better. Qiao Jingmos thin lips curled up. I hope so. Qiao Qiao fell silent. The car stopped outside the villa. Qiao Qiao couldnt wait to get out of the car. She found the direction and rushed straight in. It had been three years since she last came back, not thirty years. She had a deep memory of this house. She wouldnt go wrong if she walked around. Mrs. Qiao, Jiang Lin, came out to welcome their daughter, who had only returned home after three years. Guigui. Qiao Qiao threw herself into Mrs. Qiaos arms. Mom, I missed you so much. The most straightforward confession also contained Qiao Qiaos inexhaustible longing for the past three years. Jiang Lin carefully observed Qiao Qiaos change and concluded, Its been three years. Youve become even prettier. Normally, Qiao Qiao would be happy to hear that. But now, Qiao Qiao quickly asked, Mom, wheres Grandpa? Jiang Lin sighed. I Lets go see Grandpa. Because of his illness, Old Master Qiao had been living in seclusion for more than a year. In this year, almost everything in Deep Blue Group had fallen into Qiao Jingmos hands. Although he was not really in power, he was just a step away. Qiao Qiao asked as she walked, What happened to Grandpas health? Jiang Lin sighed. Go see Grandpa first. Ill tell you later. In the end, Qiao Qiao entered Old Master Qiaos room with Jiang Lin. Qiao Qiao slowly approached the bed and looked at the sleeping old man. She recalled the video call she had with the old man in the Capital a few days ago. The old man clearly looked energetic, but in the blink of an eye, he had aged a lot. Had the old man been forcing himself to show her? At the thought of this, Qiao Qiao felt a lump in her throat and sobbed. This sound accidentally woke up the sleeping Old Master Qiao. Old Master Qiao opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before slowly turning around. The moment he saw Qiao Qiao, he smiled. I dreamed again. This time, I dreamed that our Guigui came back to see me. Qiao Qiaos suppressed emotions suddenly collapsed because of this sentence. She walked to the bed and squatted down. How is it a dream? Qiao Guigui is standing in front of you alive. Old Master Qiaos eyes suddenly widened and he extended his hand. Guigui, youre back? Qiao Qiao held Old Master Qiaos hand. Its your naughtiest girl. Old Master Qiaos muddy eyes were filled with tears. Grandpa finally waited for you to come back. Qiao Qiao said in a muffled voice, Im sorry, Grandpa. Old Master Qiao gripped Qiao Qiaos hand tightly. Help me up. Grandpa wants to take a good look at you. Qiao Qiao quickly did as she was told, but she wasnt strong enough. Jiang Lin went forward to help. The two of them helped Old Master Qiao sit up. Old Master Qiao gestured for Jiang Lin to call Eldest Brother Qiao over. It seemed that he was going to make arrangements in advance. Jiang Lin nodded with red eyes and went to call him. Qiao Qiao bit her lip to stop herself from crying. Old Master Qiao touched Qiao Qiaos face benevolently. Youre still the same as when you were young. Every time you were about to cry, you would bite your lips. Several times, you would bite your lips until the skin broke and your mouth was full of blood. Qiao Qiao let go. Then I wont bite. Old Master Qiao said, Thats good. Qiao Qiao held back her tears. Whats wrong with you? Old Master Qiao avoided talking about his health and said, Grandpa has chosen a grandson-in-law. Grandpa is very satisfied and wants to see the two of you get married. This way, Grandpa can leave in peace. Qiao Qiao thought that at this point, she shouldnt contradict the old man. She nodded. Okay, whatever you say. Old Master Qiao was very happy. Then, you and Jingmo should get the marriage certificate early. Qiao Qiao: Old Master Qiao said slowly, Only Jingmo suits you the most. Qiao Qiao immediately said, Then you have no say in this matter. Old Master Qiao looked sad. You just said to let me call the shots. Qiao Qiao: Chapter 231 - Chapter 231: I’ll Marry You Chapter 231: Ill Marry You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Cough cough cough cough Just a second ago, Qiao Qiao was still determined. The next second, she saw Old Master Qiao suddenly cough. He coughed so hard that he could not breathe, as if he would die in the next second. Qiao Qiao was frightened by this scene. She quickly patted Old Master Qiaos back to calm him down. Boohoo, Grandpa, dont scare me. Havent you always been fine? How did you suddenly become like this? Old Master Qiao coughed a few times and finally recovered a little. His face turned red from coughing. He panted loudly and said, Grandpa is old. This illness comes like a landslide. No matter how good my body was in the past, its all in the past. As he spoke, Old Master Qiao grabbed Qiao Qiaos wrist and said to her in a weak voice, When youre old, you should follow the will of the heavens. I dont have many regrets in my life, but I didnt see the day of my Little Guiguis wedding Tears welled up in Qiao Qiaos eyes. Grandpa Old Master Qiaos eyes became much more cloudy. He dragged his breath and said, If I didnt see Little Guigui get married with my own eyes, how could I leave in peace? I wouldnt be able to close my eyes even if I died. Qiao Qiao asked stubbornly, Must it be Qiao Jingmo? This time, she was talking about Qiao Jingmo, not Shao Jingmo. Old Master Qiao immediately asked, You dont like Jingmo? Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. Although many people know that hes your adopted son, since he changed the surname of the Qiao family, hes my little uncle. If Grandpa insists on matchmaking me with him, wont the seniority be messed up? Old Master Qiao immediately said, Jingmo didnt change to the Qiao familys surname. Qiao Qiao: Q Old Master Qiao said earnestly, The surname Qiao is just a verbal surname. That was just to get Deep Blue and the other old guys to acknowledge him. Jingmo didnt enter our familys household register. He still has the surname Shao, and hes not your biological uncle. The two of you can be together. Qiao Qiao fell silent. Actually, Qiao Qiao was willing to compromise if it was just marriage. Compared to letting her grandfather leave this world with regret, she had to fulfill his last wish no matter what. In any case, they could get a divorce after getting married. As long as her grandfathers wish was fulfilled, it would be her greatest filial piety! However, she had to find someone else to marry, right? If she married Shao Jingmo, wouldnt there be another wife-killing case in Xingzhou soon? At that time, she would not be able to live anymore. How could she get a divorce? She would be widowed. Guigui, Old Master Qiao called out kindly. Qiao Qiao said in a muffled voice, Grandpa, please go ahead. Old Master Qiao said, Although Jingmo is seven years older than you, theres a good saying. When a man is three years older than you, he has a mountain of gold. Hes seven years older than you. You have two mountains of gold that you cant squander in this lifetime. pursed her lips. I dont want this gold mountain. Old Master Qiao said in another way, Then think of it this way. Hes more mature than you and can protect you. Qiao Qiao muttered, Protect me Ill be lucky if he didnt kill me. Old Master Qiao didnt hear Qiao Qiaos mumbling and continued, Hes not arrogant when the situation is good, and he wont panic when the situation is bad. When the wind comes, he can block it. When the sky collapses, he can shoulder it. Jingmo is not only the pillar of support for our Qiao family, but also your future support. I can only feel at ease if I hand you over to him. Qiao Qiao looked at the old man, who was getting more and more agitated. Grandpa, you look like a matchmaker. Old Master Qiao coughed twice. I also hope that you can see Jingmos good side. Ill only be at ease if I hand you over to Jingmo. Qiao Qiao said honestly, The reason why you like him is because you brought him up, so you have your own filter. Three years ago, she knew that her grandfather really valued Shao Jingmo. In order for Shao Jingmo to successfully take over Deep Blue, he started paving the way for Shao Jingmo when Shao Jingmo was 15 years old. First, he changed his surname so that Shao Jingmo could gain a foothold in Deep Blue as early as possible. After that, Shao Jingmo was present for all of Deep Blues major matters. Old Master Qiao did this so that everyone could see Shao Jingmos ability. After that, he sent Shao Jingmo overseas for three years. Three years later, he returned and took over Deep Blue. On the other hand, Shao Jingmo did not disappoint the old man at all. He was young and promising, and his achievements were outstanding. Even Deep Blue and the other old fellows were impressed by him. The people that his grandfather had led in the past were now following Shao Jingmos lead. Old Master Qiao let go of Qiao Qiaos hand and said kindly, You rushed back to see me. Im very happy. I said too much just now and Im a little tired. I want to sleep a little longer. Qiao Qiao refused to leave. But Dad isnt here yet. Old Master Qiao sighed benevolently. I just felt that I couldnt take it anymore. Now, I feel that I can hold on for a while longer. At the very least, I have to hold on until the wedding. Qiao Qiao: After helping the old man lie down, Qiao Qiao walked out of the room in a daze. She thought that there was no one outside and wanted to find a place to cry. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Qiao Jingmo the moment she came out! Qiao Qiao forcefully suppressed her emotions and walked up to the expressionless Qiao Jingmo. How long have you been outside? Qiao Jingmo: Ive been here all along. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. Did you hear my conversation with Grandpa? Qiao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Yes. was displeased to hear him admit it so frankly. Why was it that she had to face it alone while he listened from the outside? If he was present and heard her grandfather mention this, he would definitely object immediately. This way, she would not be afraid of angering her grandfather and have nothing to say. In the end, it would become a disguised tacit agreement! Qiao Qiao calmed herself down and tried to be calm. I know you definitely wont marry me. I also Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Jingmo interrupted her. Who said I wont marry you? Qiao Qiao was stunned. Huh? Qiao Jingmos expression softened. If its his wish, Ill follow it. In other words, as long as Old Master Qiao suggested it, he, Qiao Jingmo, would do it! Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes at him. You make it sound so dignified. You could have taken everything from the Qiao family, but you still pretended to listen to Grandpa and married me. Isnt it just to take everything from the Qiao family? These words were too unpleasant. Afraid of Qiao Jingmos cold gaze, Qiao Qiao was about to slip away. However, she was still a step too late! Qiao Jingmo grabbed her wrist. Qiao Qiao struggled a few times, but she couldnt break free. She knew that she would hurt herself no matter how hard she tried, so she simply took a step back and stood in front of him. Even if youre fierce to me, Ill still say this because what I said is the truth. Qiao Jingmos grip on her wrist was slowly tightening. Qiao Qiao frowned. It hurts! Are you crazy? My hand hurts! Qiao Jingmo pursed his lips. Youre right. Not only do I want everything in the Qiao family, but I also want to marry you.. Chapter 232 - Chapter 232: Sister Li Is Married, Don ‘t Have Any Ideas About Her Chapter 232: Sister Li Is Married, Don t Have Any Ideas About Her Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Qiao Qiao heard this, her face darkened. She pouted and said in a muffled voice, Shao Jingmo, I knew that youve always been ambitious and good at pretending. Youre a baddie. I want to tell Grandpa that youve never been kind. She struggled to free her hands. This time, she actually broke free. It was so easy that Qiao Qiao was stunned for a few seconds. Qiao Jingmo looked at her. Why arent vou going? Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth. This was a blatant provocation! Just you wait. Ill go tell Grandpa now! She turned around and walked into the room. Not only did Qiao Jingmo not stop her, but he also did not follow her in. He just stood where he was and quietly watched her return to Old Master Qiaos room. At that moment, Qiao Qiao had already reached the door. She suddenly paused and turned around to look at Qiao Jingmo, who was still standing there. He had his arms crossed over his chest and was looking at her calmly. The smile on his lips looked so mocking! Thats right, mockery! Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and closed her eyes tightly. In the end, she turned around and stood in front of Qiao Jingmo. Qiao Jingmo asked her, Why are you back again? Qiao Qiao clenched her fists by her sides. Im not a fool. I know youre waiting to see me make a fool of myself. Im a little slow sometimes, but Im not stupid! Now that the entire Deep Blue is in your hands and Grandpa is sick in bed, so what if I tell Grandpa? Dont say that Grandpa wont believe me. If Grandpa believes me, what can it change Qiao Qiaos voice grew softer as she spoke. It was not that she did not have the confidence, but she recognized the truth in front of her. In the Capital. Today was also a single-line mission, and everyone completed it very smoothly. Li Xiwu had just finished filming for the entire day. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was almost six oclock. Han Qianye was going back to the Han Residence. She had wanted to bring Li Xiwu back with her, but Li Xiwu wasnt very familiar with the Han Family and didnt want to get used to it, so she rejected her. Han Qianye did not force her. She handed Li Xiwu a cup of hot milk tea with a straw. This cup is for you. Li Xiwu declined politely, Im not drinking anymore, you can have it. Han Qianye kept pushing the cup towards Li Xiwu. I cant drink so much by myself. Drink a few mouthfuls and give me the rest. Hearing that Han Qianye wanted her to drink first before giving the rest to her, Li Xiwu felt that this was not a good idea. Why dont you keep it? I dont really want to drink anything too sweet right now. Han Qianye immediately added, This cup of milk tea is half sugar. It wont be very sweet. Then, she handed the straw to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu had no choice but to think about it. If not for the fact that the variety show had just ended and there were still staff members passing by, she would have thought that Han Qianye had put something in the milk tea and was waiting for her to drink it. Although the likelihood of worse is also low. Li Xiwu held down the cup of milk tea. Why dont you give me this cup of milk tea? Ill treat you to another cup next time. Seeing that her plan was about to fail, Han Qianye sighed in her heart. Then Ill give it to you. Li Xiwu took the cup of milk tea with both hands. At this moment, the car that came to pick Han Qianye up had already arrived. Han Qianye looked at the car parked by the roadside and then at Li Xiwu, who had received the milk tea. She hesitated for a few seconds before getting into the car. The car window rolled down and Han Qianye waved her hand. Go home early. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. After watching the car drive away, Li Xiwu retracted her gaze and looked down at the cup of milk tea in her hand. Since the straw had already been inserted, Li Xiwu couldnt just leave it there. She took a sip. It was indeed half sugar. It wasnt too sweet, and it was still warm. There were pearls, and it tasted very good. The kind that one couldnt help but take a second or third sip after taking a sip. She quickly drank half a cup. Night fell early in this weather. It would be dark in a few minutes. Li Xiwu put her charger and hair clip into her bag and waited for Pei Jingzhou to arrange for a car to pick her up. At this moment, Xue Jinzhu was talking to her boyfriend , Gu Lanshi. Xue Jinzhu laughed loudly without caring about her image. She pushed Gu Lanshi very naturally. Hahaha, youre too funny. So youre a funny man. And with that, Xue Jinzhu ran over to Li Xiwu and grabbed her arm. Sister Li, I thought he was a scholarly guy. I didnt expect him to be a funny guy. Li Xiwu changed the way she held the cup of milk tea to prevent it from spilling out. Hearing Xue Jinzhus words, her lips curved. Is that so? Xue Jinzhu laughed hysterically. Thats right, thats right. I only found out that hes a funny man after interacting with him. Unfortunately, I have Li Xiwu raised her other hand to her lips. Ahem, ahem! Xue Jinzhu reacted quickly and immediately stopped what she was about to say. There were still some people who had not left, especially Min Hanrongs group, who were chatting with Tang Xian. Xue Jinzhus voice was so loud, so it was better to restrain herself. At that moment, Gu Lanshi also walked over. Miss Li. Gu Lanshi smiled and greeted Li Xiwu. We meet again. Not long after Gu Lanshi arrived, he got out of the car and started chatting with Xue Jinzhu. On the surface, the two of them were boyfriend and girlfriend, but their private friendship was also improving. They were mainly worried that something would go wrong during the recording, just in case. Li Xiwu saw Gu Lanshi, her expression was indifferent. Mr. Gu. Li Xiwu still remembered what happened at the Li Mansion that dav. This person probably knew her No, he probably knew Li You, which was why he wanted to help her recover her memory. However, Li Xiwu was very resistant to his arrangement. After all, they did not know each other. The only time they had interacted was on the show. Gu Lanshi saw the indifference in Li Xiwus eyes, but this did not stop him from saying, Miss Li, are you free tomorrow? Before Li Xiwu could say anything, Xue Jinzhu interrupted, Are you going to ask Sister Li out? That wont do. Sister Li is married and her husband is super handsome. Although youre also very outstanding, I think Sister Lis husband should be more outstanding than you. Gu Lanshi: Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. Although Im off tomorrow, I still have work and personal matters to deal with tomorrow. Im sorry, Mr. Gu. In other words, she didnt have time. Although she did not say it too clearly, the meaning was very clear. Gu Lanshi looked regretful. Thats a pity. I originally planned to tell Miss Li some things. Li Xiwu narrowed her cold eyes and her expression darkened. Xue Jinzhu did not know anything. At this moment, her face was filled with curiosity. What do you want to tell Miss Li? Can I listen? Gu Lanshi glanced sideways at Xue Jinzhu and smiled gently. Something more important. Xue Jinzhu immediately closed her eyes. Oh my god! Why are you so good-looking?! If Brother had not come, her soul would have been stolen. Li Xiwu sighed, When tomorrow? Gu Lanshis gaze returned to Li Xiwu. The two of them looked at each other and he said slowly, Any time tomorrow is fine. It depends on your schedule.. Chapter 233 - Chapter 233: Preparing to Adopt Yaoyao Chapter 233: Preparing to Adopt Yaoyao Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwus face was expressionless. My schedule is very full. I might not have much time. Gu Lanshi immediately asked, Are you free tonight? Li Xiwu frowned. Not tonight. Gu Lanshi asked, Why not? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. What does that have to do with you? Gu Lanshi could not hide the disappointment in his expression. I thought you would want to know. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Actually, Im not that curious. The credibility of Gu Lanshis words was not high. Moreover, there was a certain risk in meeting him alone. Li Xiwu, who had been tricked once, naturally would not be easily tricked a second time. Even if she went to meet him alone, she had to be prepared. She would not go so easily. However, Li Xiwu thought about it carefully before making the necessary preparations. Instead of listening to what Gu Lanshi might say to her, she might as well get information from Pei Jingzhou. Why should she trust an outsider but not her husband?! Xue Jinzhu was confused. What are you guys talking about? I dont understand a word. After listening to it, she could barely hear one sentence. Gu Lanshi wanted to ask Sister Li out today! ! Gu Lanshi took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiwu. This is my phone number. Just as Li Xiwu took the business card, Xue Jinzhu pushed Gu Lanshi to the other side. As they walked, she lowered her voice and said, Whats wrong with you? I already said that Sister Lis group is a real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She has a husband. How can you provoke her? Without giving Gu Lanshi a chance to speak, Xue Jinzhu continued in a serious tone, Who doesnt like a mature sister? I admit that Sister Lis style makes people want to conquer her, but you cant. Thats because the man who conquered Sister Li is very strong. You cant be his match at all. These were Xue Jinzhus honest words. She hoped that after Gu Lanshi listened, he would back off. In the end, she looked up and saw that Gu Lanshi was angry! His expression seemed to be filled with anger. Is it Pei Jingzhou? Xue Jinzhu was stunned. So you know who Sister Lis husband is. Gu Lanshi said coldly, How can I not know? Xue Jinzhu was surprised. Then why do you still want to get close to Sister Li? Is there something wrong with you? Gu Lanshi: He had wanted to reason with her. However, Gu Lanshi ignored her and drove away with a cold expression. Xue Jinzhu watched the car drive away and muttered with her hands on her hips, What kind of person is this? Dont you know your own worth? How dare you covet President Peis wife! Tao Jing walked over and heard Xue Jinzhu muttering something with her hands on her hips. When she got closer, she couldnt hear clearly, so she guessed and asked, Jinzhu, did you quarrel with your boyfriend? Xue Jinzhu turned around and continued, Thats right. Weve quarreled, but husband and wife still quarrel. It shouldnt be a big deal for a couple to quarrel, right? Tao Jing couldnt help but laugh. Its nothing to begin with, especially now that youre a couple. Its time for you to get used to each other. Xue Jinzhu seemed to have thought of something. She suppressed the corners of her lips that were about to curl up and said, I think my boyfriend is just so-so. Actually, hes not that good. He has a lot of bad habits and is always cold and violent to me. I think this fate is coming to an end. When Tao Jing heard that the situation was so serious, her first reaction was not to persuade her to reconcile. Instead, she asked, Is he really cold and violent towards you? Xue Jinzhu thought to herself that since everyone did not know Gu Lanshi well, she would just spout nonsense. Thats right, hes a Scorpio. Hes self-centered and cold and violent at the drop of a hat. Back then, I was bewitched by his appearance and loved him to death. Only then did I know how difficult it was to get along with him. It was easy for girls to empathize with each other. Especially when it comes to relationships. When Tao Jing heard Xue Jinzhus words, her heart ached. Then theres no way you can maintain your relationship. Xue Jinzhu sighed. Thats right. Its too tiring to be together. Look, just now, he just left without a word. He didnt care about my feelings at all. I thought that I would take it one step at a time. After the program is over, Ill have a good chat with him. Will we be together or will we be apart? Tao Jing was very moved. Then you must consider it carefully. You still have many choices when youre in love. Dont let yourself suffer. Hearing Tao Jings tone, Xue Jinzhu guessed that she was not as happy as she seemed. Li Xiwu had already gotten into the car that came to pick her up. The driver said, Madam, Mr. Pei said that he wants to go to the supermarket to buy groceries. He asked me to drive you to the entrance of the market and wait for a while. Mr. Pei is coming from the company. Li Xiwu had no objections. Anything is fine. The driver nodded and adjusted the navigation to go to the largest supermarket nearby. A few minutes later, the car stopped at the open-air parking lot. Li Xiwu waited quietly in the car for two to three minutes. During this time, she did not drink much of the remaining half cup of milk tea in her hand. The main reason was that she was a little tired of it. Knock knock. Someone knocked on the car window. Li Xiwu glanced sideways and saw Pei Jingzhou standing outside the door. She pushed open the car door and got out. Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou held a mask in his hand and helped her put it on. He explained, I dont want my wife to be dragged to take a photo with me while were walking. The mask covered half of her face. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Then are you wearing a mask? Yes. After saying that, Pei Jingzhou took out a mask and put it on. Li Xiwu did not notice it when she was wearing it because she could not see it. When she noticed the mask on Pei Jingzhous face, she realized that the two of them were wearing matching masks. The pattern was a heart shape that could be combined. The two of them entered hand in hand. Li Xiwu asked, What about Yaoyao? Has Madam Di Xin picked him up? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. Li Xiwu was a little disappointed. The little guy didnt even say goodbye to me. Pei Jingzhou: Hes probably going back to Country T. Li Xiwus hand that was wrapped around Pei Jingzhous arm moved down and held his hand instead. Fourth Brother, you said that we would adopt a child in the future. If we work hard, do you think we can adopt Yaoyao? Of course, Pei Jingzhou knew what she was thinking. It might not be that easy. Li Xiwu said, Huh? Pei Jingzhou said, Yaoyao was adopted in Country T. The procedures are very simple, but Madam Di Xin might not agree. Li Xiwu thought for a moment and said, Thats true. Madam Di Xin has been adopting Yaoyao for so many years. She already has deep feelings for Yaoyao. Why would she let someone else adopt him so easily? Pei Jingzhou stopped in his tracks. Li Xiwu also stopped. He cast a sidelong glance at Li Xiwu and asked in a serious tone, You want to adopt Yaoyao? Did she? Li Xiwu had an uncertain answer in her heart. Pei Jingzhou saw Li Xiwus hesitation and told her firmly, You have to be responsible for adoption. Once youre sure, I can give it a try.. Chapter 234 - Chapter 234: Knock Where? Your Heart? Chapter 234: Knock Where? Your Heart? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu had yet to make up her mind. Just as Pei Jingzhou had said, one had to be responsible for adoption. Kinship was more about fate. If one was not sufficiently prepared, it would easily cause a second injury. She had this thought only because she felt that Yaoyao was not happy with his life. In addition, after spending two days together, she felt that Yaoyao was not like the first time they met, where he kept his heart closed and was unwilling to communicate with others. He was clearly a very lively child. However, one could not just look at the surface. Perhaps he was just not used to living in China. After all, he grew up in Country T. When they came out of the supermarket, Pei Jingzhou was carrying a huge bag of things. It was obvious that it was very heavy. Li Xiwu, on the other hand, was walking beside Pei Jingzhou with empty hands. There was still a short distance to the open-air parking lot. Li Xiwu tried to share the burden several times, You injured your hand the last time. You cant change your hand even though youre carrying so much weight. How about Pei Jingzhou curved his lips. Wifey, do you think I dont even have the strength to carry these things? Li Xiwu smiled helplessly. Youre very strong, alright? Pei Jingzhou: You can praise me later. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhou personally drove the car back to the small courtyard. After nearly half an hour of driving, it was already half past seven when they returned to the small courtyard. With Pei Jingzhou around, Li Xiwu did not have to worry about dinner. She also took the time to check the snacks in the cabinet that were about to expire. Because there was no date label, she could only tell by the color. She threw away some and packed the unopened ones. She will bring them to the company tomorrow. Buzz. The phone in her coat pocket beeped. Li Xiwu took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Qiao Qiao. She clicked on it. Qiao Qiao: [Im getting married.] Li Xiwus hand trembled when she saw this WeChat message. The first thought that popped up in her mind was: Is this a joke? Having known Qiao Qiao for so long, Qiao Qiao could be considered a model for independent women in the modern city. Without a boyfriend, she wouldnt easily accept a blind date and get married quickly. Therefore, this WeChat message was most likely meant to tease her. Hence, Li Xiwu replied: [Everyone is a hooligan when they said they were getting married. Lets take a look at the marriage certificate first.] The sentence she sent was also a joke. If she guessed correctly, the next WeChat message Qiao Qiao sent should be a laughing emoji! However, it was the opposite of what she had imagined. Qiao Qiao replied: [I havent registered my marriage yet, but Ill send it to you in the next two days.] The smile on Li Xiwus face froze. Really? She immediately made a call. Qiao Qiao picked it up. Bae. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, Where are you? Qiao Qiao said in a muffled voice, Back to Xingzhou. The smile on Li Xiwus face gradually disappeared. Youre back in Xingzhou? Today? Are you at the Qiao familys house now? This time, it was three consecutive questions from Li Xiwu. Qiao Qiao answered first, Im back in Xingzhou. It happened after you called me this morning, so Im staying at the Qiao Residence now. After answering, Qiao Qiao sighed continuously. Its said that everyones natal years are different. Theyre either bumpy or rich. I dont pray for it to be rich. At least, its good not to be bumpy. Who would have thought that the natal tribulation of my 24-year-old life would be a huge tribulation in my life! Qiao Qiaos words were filled with frustration. It also showed her dispirited mood. Li Xiwu put down what she was doing and sat down on the stool next to the cabinet. You just returned to Xingzhou and were forced to get married. From your tone, I think its a business marriage? Qiao Qiao expressed her resentment. If it was a business marriage, I wouldnt be so sad. Li Xiwu seemed to have thought of something and guessed in a bold direction. Could it be that the person youre getting married to is Qiao Jingmo? Qiao Qiao: Qiao Qiao was really impressed that her guess was so accurate! Li Xiwu listened to the silence on the other end of the line for a long time before asking, Qiaoer, am I right? Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and sighed again. Bae, I suspect that you live in my heart. Li Xiwu smiled. I accidentally booked a room in your heart. Qiao Qiaos mood improved a little. She didnt need Li Xiwu to say anything. Just listening to Li Xiwus voice made her feel a lot better, probably because she felt more at ease. She explained the situation to Li Xiwu from beginning to end. After hearing this, Li Xiwu concluded, The current situation is that your grandfathers health isnt good. Hes holding on to his last breath and wants to see you get married. Qiao Jingmo is the other half that your grandfather has chosen for you. Your grandfather hopes that the two of you can get married quickly. Qiao Qiao replied, Correct. Li Xiwu continued, And the reason why youre so unhappy is because you hate Qiao Jingmo and cant accept this arrangement. But because this is what your grandfather wants to see with his last breath, youre in pain and conflict now, and youre forced to accept it. Qiao Oiao exclaimed, I announce that youre rent-free in my heart. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh, This matter is indeed tricky. Sigh! Qiao Qiao said. Bae, you know, Ive sighed more today than Ive sighed in the past twenty-four years. Li Xiwu knew very well that she couldnt solve this problem for Qiao Qiao. Although Qiao Qiao kept mentioning that stinky old man from time to time, she also often said that she would go back and send him off when he couldnt make it anymore. However, when Old Master Qiaos body was about to collapse, Qiao Qiao was more worried than anyone else. Qiao Qiao was still angry about what happened back then, but she still loved her grandfather very much. Li Xiwu pondered for a moment before asking, So, are you already half-compromising? Qiao Qiaos voice was muffled. I guess so. Li Xiwu asked, Did Qiao Jingmo express his stance? For example, did he object? Object? He wont object! Qiao Qiaos tone was very serious. Do you know what he said? He said that he wanted to marry me and embarrass me. I feel that after I get married, Ill die before Grandpa. Li Xiwu: Although it sounded a little exaggerated, Qiao Qiaos fear and disgust for Qiao Jingmo were very clear. Qiao Qiao continued, Ive been thinking about it for the entire afternoon. Since I cant change anything, I might as well accept the truth. Isnt it just marrying Shao Jingmo? If he treats me badly after the marriage, Ill beat him up. Anyway, I wont let myself suffer too much. Just as she finished speaking, Qiao Jingmos cold voice came from behind. Do you want to abuse me? The sudden voice scared Qiao Qiao so much that she dropped her phone. She quickly picked up her phone and said to Li Xiwu, Contact me on WeChat. Im hanging up. She ended the call as quickly as possible and turned around. When she saw Qiao Jingmo walking towards her, her hair stood on end as if she was facing a great enemy. Why didnt you knock when you came in? Qiao Jingmo had a ladys shawl on his arm and walked up to Qiao Qiao. This is a small garden. Where should I knock? Your heart? Qiao Qiao: Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: His Crush Chapter 235: His Crush Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiaos face was a little hot. At that moment, Qiao Jingmo took off the shawl on his little arm, lifted it, and slowly leaned over to Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao covered herself with her hands. Shao Jingmo, what are you doing? Qiao Jingmos eyes darkened. Then, he slowly stood up and threw the shawl in his hand at Qiao Qiao. Put it on. Its cold outside. Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment. She had instinctively protected herself just now because she thought that Qiao Jingmo had heard her say that she wanted to abuse him, so he had taken the initiative to attack her first. Alright, she was thinking too much. Grandpa was still around, and the two of them had yet to officially register their marriage. He should not be in a hurry to hit her before marriage. Otherwise, she would rather die than marry him. She adjusted the shawl on her lap. It was quite thick. She had unknowingly been sitting outside for so long that she felt cold from the start. However, when she thought about how she would see Qiao Jingmo the moment she entered, she forcefully held back her coldness. She unceremoniously wrapped her shawl around her neck. After being cold for a long time, because of this shawl, her entire body suddenly became warm. She breathed into her palms and rubbed her hands together, trying to warm herself up. Qiao Jingmo lowered his eyes and looked at her small actions. Since its so cold, why dont you go in? Qiao Qiaos hands froze. I havent been back in a long time. Im not even familiar with my own courtyard. Cant I get familiar with it outside? Of course. Qiao Jingmos voice was calm. But are you sure you want to do it in the middle of the night? Qiao Qiao: Although she knew that it was already dark, she couldnt help but look up at the sky after hearing Qiao Jingmos words. Then, she silently retracted her gaze and spouted nonsense in all seriousness. My night vision is very good. Oh? Qiao Jingmo turned sideways. Since you have good night vision, why dont you take a look at the palm trees to the east? Qiao Qiao: In the next second, she stood up in exasperation. Shao Jingmo! Youre deliberately picking on me! Qiao Jingmos voice was calm. Youre too irritable. It would have been better if he hadnt said that. Once he said that, Qiao Qiaos mood became even more irritable. Who wouldnt be irritable at the thought of marrying a big devil like you? Ive already restrained myself very much! Her restraint was shown by her clenched fists. Qiao Jingmo looked at her calmly. Do you really not want to marry me that much? Qiao Qiao replied without hesitation, Yes. Qiao Jingmo: Alright. With that, Qiao Qiao was stunned. She was really dumbfounded. She looked at Qiao Jingmo, who had suddenly compromised because of a certain sentence, in shock and disbelief and said, Great Demon King, are you serious? Qiao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Of course. Qiao Qiao wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that she would rejoice too early. She asked first, Dont tell me you have a request? The smile on Qiao Jingmos lips spread. Yes. Qiao Qiao thought to herself, Sure enough, he has a request. However, she felt that as long as she didnt marry Qiao Jingmo, she could compromise with any request. After all, marrying Qiao Jingmo was really too dangerous. She wasnt free yet. As long as she could get rid of the ending of marrying him, she could even accept marrying an ugly freak. However, Qiao Qiao would soon realize that she was thinking too early. At this moment, Qiao Jingmo took out his phone in front of her and called his assistant. Send the photos over. After giving his instructions, he hung up. Qiao Qiao frowned suspiciously when she heard the photo. What photo? As she was thinking, she heard Qiao Jingmo remind her, Come in with me. Qiao Qiao nodded and immediately followed behind Qiao Jingmo. In the huge living room, layers of crystal lights spiraled down from the rainbow-colored glass dome. An oil painting as tall as a person hung on the wall in the middle of the living room. The person in the portrait was Qiao Qiao. Mr. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao, and Old Master Qiao liked this painting very much. After discussing it, they decided to hang this oil painting on the wall of the living room. Qiao Qiao no longer had a deep impression of this oil painting. She roughly remembered that when she went out to play, she was drawn by a passerby who was very good at drawing. Then, he gave this painting to her parents. She had never even seen that person before and still did not know what that person looked like. At this moment, Qiao Qiao was standing under the oil painting. In the past, she didnt really appreciate it and thought that it was just so-so. Now that she had returned after three years and admired it carefully, she realized that this artist was very impressive. He had actually drawn her charm so vividly. She didnt believe that he could draw so well just by looking at her by the roadside. Only someone who was familiar with her could have such standards. Professional artists had to stare at the person to draw them vividly. Jiang Lin walked over and stood behind Qiao Qiao. Guigui, the you in the painting was exactly 18 years old that year. Qiao Qiao nodded. I know. It was an unexpected surprise when I went out to play on my birthday. Jiang Lin said, At that time, you didnt take it seriously. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. I was too busy that day. All my friends were booked. At that time, I didnt pay much attention to this painting. But now that I think about it, its indeed quite rude. I should thank that person in person. She was serious. If she could see that person again, she would definitely thank him sincerely. Not to mention that the cost of this painting was not low, just the sincerity of the other partys painting of her was rare. Actually Jiang Lin wanted to say something. At this moment, Qiao Jingmos assistant, Fan Xi, walked in with a document. On the other side, Qiao Jingmo and Mr. Qiao were chatting about something. The assistant handed the document to Qiao Jingmo, who took it. The candidates are all here. Qiao Ruzhang stretched out her hand. Let me see. Qiao Jingmo handed the document to Qiao Ruzhang. Qiao Ruzhang opened the document. There were more than ten personal details of single entrepreneurs and a very high-definition three-inch photo. The important column was all: Unmarried. Qiao Ruzhang chose and took away five or six pieces of information. He folded them up and placed them in the inner pocket of his clothes. This scene was done in front of Qiao Jingmo. Qiao Jingmo lowered his voice. Actually, theres no need to do this. Its good to give her more choices. Qiao Ruzhang shook his head. That wont do. With that, Qiao Ruzhang walked towards his wife and daughter. Come here quickly. Qiao Qiao quickly slipped over. She had been waiting for this moment because she also wanted to know what the request was for Qiao Jingmo to compromise. Jiang Lin sat down on the sofa with Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao was already prepared. Her father placed a document on the coffee table and said, Since you dont want to marry Jingmo, we cant force you. Qiao Qiao wanted to laugh. She wanted to laugh out loud. However, she secretly warned herself not to laugh too early before the dust settled. If anything went wrong, it would be over. Bear with it! I must bear with it! She took a deep breath. Her expression did not change, and her tone did not fluctuate. Actually, the most taboo thing about relationships is forcing yourself. Because all the two people who forced themselves to be together ended up leaving on bad terms. Mr. Qiao nodded. Thats right. Dad and Mom dont want to see you unhappy in the future.. Chapter 236 - Chapter 236: First Public Kiss Chapter 236: First Public Kiss Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao was almost moved to tears. Mr. Qiao pushed the documents on the coffee table towards Qiao Qiao and said earnestly, Your grandfathers health is getting worse and worse. Seeing you get married is his greatest wish, but his wish has never been fulfilled. You dont want your grandfather to leave with regrets, right? At the mention of Grandpa, all the expressions on Qiao Qiaos pretty face disappeared. Yes. Mr. Qiao nodded. Your mother and I chose these marriage partners for you. They have good education and family backgrounds. You have to get along with them to know what they are like. Take a look first and see if you like anyone. If you think anyone is good enough, Ill arrange a meeting for you tomorrow. Qiao Qiao: So this condition was a blind date At the end of the day, she still had to get married. However, on second thought, as long as the marriage partner wasnt Qiao Jingmo, it didnt matter who it was. In any case, it was all for Grandpa. Qiao Qiao took the document solemnly. Then Ill take a look first. Qiao Jingmo, who was sitting in the armchair opposite her, watched this scene quietly. In fact, all she wanted was to be happy. Before Qiao Qiao looked at the blind date information, she thought that there was no need to pick someone too good-looking. Just someone with average looks would do. His family background didnt have to be too prominent. Just someone average would do. Anyway, these things werent that important. In summary, as long as it was passable. Unexpectedly, after looking at it, Qiao Qiao couldnt take it anymore! There were a total of 11 documents, which meant that there were 11 blind dates. In the end, not to mention ordinary-looking, there was not even a single person who was passable! Not a single one! Could they have deliberately found an ugly man? Moreover, after looking at these photos, she actually felt much better when she looked at Qiao Jingmo again. Qiao Qiao opened the documents and asked, Is that all? Is there no one else? Mr. Qiao shook his head. No. Qiao Qiao asked again, Is there really no one else? The one who answered was Jiang Lin. Guigui, these are the best that Dad and Mom have chosen for you. Qiao Qiao looked like she had nothing to live for. The best, at least their looks should be passable. Look at these looks yourself. Are you serious? Some had buck teeth, some had fat heads and ears, some had standard square faces, and some had eyes so small that they didnt seem to open. These looks really gathered all kinds of looks. There were only two words to describe it: Absolutely ruthless! Mr. Qiao said earnestly, You cant just look at their appearance. You have to get along with him to know if hes good or not. His looks are just skin and not food. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. At this moment, Jiang Lin added, Thats right. The other halfs looks arent that important. Look at their educational backgrounds and family backgrounds. All of them are very outstanding. If youre afraid that you wont be able to eat them, close your eyes or turn off the lights. Qiao Qiao took another deep breath. Unwilling to give up, she flipped through the eleven pieces of information again. Finally, she closed her eyes hard. Can I choose one myself? I dont want a family background. At least he has to be passable. Mr. Qiao said clearly, Of course not. Qiao Qiao was puzzled. Why not? Mr. Qiao said even more earnestly, Your grandfather hopes that you can have a good entrustment. Its also to make him feel at ease. These people that Dad and Mom prepared have passed your grandfathers inspection. Your grandfather thinks its fine. If you go out and bring back an unknown kid, your grandfather will be furious. Qiao Qiao wanted to cry but had no tears. She asked Mrs. Qiao for help, But with these looks, I cant make do even if I turn off the lights. Mom, help me think of a way. Mrs. Qiao shook her head. Theres no other way. Time is tight now. All the top-notch men in Xingzhou are here. Pick one yourself. Mr. Qiao could tell that his daughter was in a dilemma. He suggested, Guigui, actually, you dont have to compromise. Go back to the capital and continue your old life. Anyway, youve come back to see Grandpa one last time. Grandpa wont be too regretful. Qiao Qiao thought that it would be great if she was really heartless. If she was heartless, she would have come back and taken a look before leaving. Why would she worry about getting married? Worried, Qiao Qiaos gaze uncontrollably landed on Qiao Jingmo, who had been silent the entire time. At this moment, Qiao Jingmo was looking at her. His eyes were dark and deep, like an abyss. Just a few seconds of eye contact was enough to suck her in. Qiao Qiao quickly looked away. Looking at the eleven pieces of information again, Qiao Qiao wanted to convince herself that she should draw a lot. Whoever she caught would be hers. In the end, she reached out her hand, but she still couldnt get over it. She pulled her hand back. The next second, she suddenly stood up. This commotion was very loud. Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao looked up at her in unison. Qiao Qiao seemed to have made a decision. She made up her mind and strode towards Qiao Jingmo, who was sitting opposite her. She stood beside Qiao Jingmo and pointed at him. She said to Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, I, I, I Mrs. Qiao asked, Whats wrong? Qiao Qiao closed her eyes hard. Ive thought about it carefully. Dont let the goodies go to outsiders. If I have to get married, itll be him. In that case Grandpa should be more at ease. Compared to those ugly looks, Qiao Qiao was more willing to look at Qiao Jingmos handsome face! For the former, when she turns off the lights, she will still think of those big fat ears. For the latter, when she turned off the lights, at least she could still go through with it. Therefore, after thinking about it, she decided to choose Qiao Jingmo. It was better to live in fear than pain. At this moment, Mr. Qiao objected. That wont do. Since you didnt want to choose Jingmo in the first place, dont make things difficult for yourself now. Qiao Qiao pulled a long face. Its not difficult. Mrs. Qiao said, If this isnt difficult for you, why are you smiling like youre crying? Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly. Im just too happy. Qiao Jingmo, who was sitting in the armchair, was expressionless. He reminded Qiao Qiao in a low voice, You still have a chance. Youd better think it through. Qiao Qiao put on a serious expression. Ive already thought it through. I have to have you. Mr. and Mrs. Qiao looked at each other and said in unison, Why cant we tell that you have to have Jingmo? Qiao Qiao was afraid that her parents would force her to choose one of the eleven people to get married. If she chose those people, she might as well please Qiao Jingmo. Hence, she made up her mind and threw caution to the wind. She sat down on Qiao Jingmos lap. This action was too sudden and too bold. Not to mention Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, even Qiao Jingmo didnt expect this. However, to everyones surprise, Qiao Qiao boldly stretched out her hands to hold Qiao Jingmos neck. She bent down and kissed him on the lips. It was like a dragonfly touching the water. Qiao Jingmo was stunned for the first time. Qiao Qiao turned around and asked, Did you guys take a closer look? If you didnt, I, I, I Ill kiss him again!! Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: You Could Even Kiss People Forcefully, How Terrifying Chapter 237: You Could Even Kiss People Forcefully, How Terrifying Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao was really going all out this time! As long as she didnt marry one of the 11 people, she wouldnt lose anything by kissing Shao Jingmo. After kissing him just now, she realized that it wasnt difficult for her. She did it without any hesitation. Mr. Qiao silently looked away and couldnt bear to look at her. Qiao Guigui, you should have some reservedness that a girl should have! Qiao Qiao said, 1 Without waiting for her to say anything, Mrs. Qiao stood up and patted Mr. Qiaos shoulder. Dont stand here like a third wheel. Only then did Mr. Qiao react and stand up. Thats true. We should give Guigui and Jingmo more space to interact. Sorry to disturb you. Qiao Qiao: Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Qiao leave the living room one after another, Qiao Qiao sighed. She turned around in disappointment and was caught off guard by Qiao Jingmos gaze. She didnt see his dark and unhappy expression as she had imagined. Instead, his gaze was so deep that she didnt dare to look at him directly. However, when she recalled her bold actions just now, she didnt seem to think too much about it. Only now did she start to feel shocked. Oh my god! What did she do?! She was so bold as to kiss Shao Jingmo in front of her parents! At this moment, Qiao Qiaos face was burning up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her heart was beating like a drum, and she subconsciously wanted to get up. However, just as she was about to get up, Qiao Jingmo stretched out his arm and placed it on her waist. Have you really thought it through? Qiao Qiaos heart sank. Do I have a choice? Yes, Ill make other arrangements Before Qiao Jingmo could finish, Qiao Qiao immediately interrupted, Thats what you said to me just now. And those are the eleven people you found, are you serious? Qiao Jingmo said, There are still people in the entire Xingzhou who can be chosen for you. Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes inelegantly. Its the same no matter what. Lets leave it at that. My heart is dead anyway. Im not me anymore. It doesnt matter who it is. Qiao Jingmo held her waist with his palm and slowly tightened his grip. Your heart is dead, but your mouth isnt. You even know how to kiss people forcefully. How terrifying. Qiao Qiao: Qiao Qiao was speechless. She had nowhere to hide her flushed face and nowhere to put her embarrassed hands. She could only press them against his firm chest and say unwillingly, That was an emotionless kiss. To me, it was equivalent to kissing a robot. Besides, I had no choice but to do it for my parents. Qiao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. An emotionless kiss? Like kissing a robot? Qiao Qiao was stubborn. Thats right. Qiao Jingmo raised his other hand and brushed his fingertips across his lips. He seemed to be reminiscing about the unexpected kiss just now and was a little unsatisfied. Then, he looked up at her with a deep gaze. Why dont you kiss me again? I want to see how emotionless you are. Qiao Qiao: Q Qiao Jingmo said, Youre the one who said that its an emotionless robot. I was too surprised just now and didnt feel it carefully. Qiao Qiao: Shameless! He even took advantage of her after saying a few words. She said in a serious manner, The timing is important when kissing. The timing was right just now, but its not time yet. Is that so? Qiao Jingmo smiled faintly. He slowly loosened his grip on her waist. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was about to get up, he casually tightened his grip again, like a cat teasing a mouse. Qiao Qiao puffed up her cheeks angrily. Youre lucky! Qiao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Huh? Qiao Qiao: My first marriage! Qiao Jingmo chuckled. In that case, its my blessing. Qiao Qiao snorted. Of course. Qiao Jingmo held Qiao Qiaos hand and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. I will cherish you. Qiao Qiao felt the back of her hand itch. She turned around and saw Qiao Jingmo kissing the back of her hand. The amazing thing was that she didnt feel a chill in her heart. Instead, she felt an indescribable state of mind. It was probably because he had already kissed her. A kiss on the back of his hand didnt seem like a big deal. Qiao Qiao was shocked when she thought of this. The Great Demon King really knew how to bewitch people. Qiao Qiao returned to her bedroom. In the three years that she had not been back, her bedroom had been cleaned by servants every few days and maintained its original appearance. This time, Mrs. Qiao had changed the cover to Qiao Qiaos favorite patterned bed cover. The long-lost familiarity washed over her, and it was destined to be a good nights sleep. The lights in Old Master Qiaos room were still on. The servant brought over a bowl of Chinese medicine and carefully helped Old Master Qiao finish the medicine. Old Master Qiao wiped his mouth with a tissue and reached out. Wheres the sugar candy? The servant handed the sugar candy to Old Master Qiao, who quickly put it in his mouth to ease the bitterness in his mouth. The servant came out with a tray. When she reached the door, she bumped into Qiao Jingmo, who was about to enter. She nodded and greeted, Third Master. Qiao Jingmo turned sideways. Go out. The servant nodded and left quietly. After eating the candy, Old Master Qiao was in a good mood. He looked up and saw Qiao Jingmo. Youre here. Qiao Jingmo walked over and stood by the bed. Old Master Qiao gestured. Dont stand there. Sit down and talk. Qiao Jingmo said, Ill just stand. Old Master Qiao smiled and asked, Is Guigui asleep? Qiao Jingmo said, Shes used to staying up late in the capital. She has to slowly correct her schedule. Old Master Qiao said, I havent cared much about her for the past three years. I dont know how many bad habits shes been exposed to outside. This was inevitable. Qiao Qiao had a lot of bad habits when she was in Xingzhou, and she usually hated being controlled by others. When she went to the Capital, there was no one around to keep an eye on her, so her bad habits would only increase. Qiao Jingmo said, Ill keep an eye on her and slowly change it. Old Master Qiao laughed. She must have been used to being wild outside for three years. Im afraid she cant stand someone controlling her. Qiao Jingmo said, But I still have to care. The smile on Old Master Qiaos lips slowly faded as he called out earnestly, Jingmo. Qiao Jingmo replied calmly, Yes. Old Master Qiaos heart sank. He wasnt as relaxed as before. Guigui wasnt happy, right? Qiao Jingmo replied casually, Its alright. Old Master Qiao signed. Jingmo, our Qiao family has let you down. Qiao Jingmos lowered eyes moved, and the darkness in his eyes was almost bottomless. You raised me, so the rise and fall of the Qiao family is naturally my responsibility. Theres no right or wrong. You dont have to do this. Ever since he was adopted, Qiao Jingmo had always been very clear about his status in the Qiao family. He also knew how to repay Old Master Qiao for raising him when he grew up. Whether it was Old Master Qiao nurturing him for another purpose or out of heartache for him, none of this was important. His home was long gone. The Qiao family would always be his home.. Even if he had to sacrifice his life to protect the Qiao family, he would do it without hesitation! Chapter 238 - Chapter 238: Revealing the Secret of Why She Has To Get Married Chapter 238: Revealing the Secret of Why She Has To Get Married Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations However, Old Master Qiao did not think so. If I hadnt taken you in back then, you would have gone to a better family and lived a better life. You wouldnt have been forced to take over all the Qiao familys mess. Qiao Jingmo didnt want to say anything else. Knowing that he couldnt persuade Old Master Qiao, he turned around and was about to leave. Old Master Qiao looked at Qiao Jingmos back as he left. Jingmo. Qiao Jingmo stopped in his tracks. Old Master Qiaos tone was filled with self-blame. Back then, my bet with the Bai family was the wrong start. All these years, you were the one who turned the tide and slowly brought the Qiao family back to the right track. Although youve reached a high level, you cant easily resolve the promise of losing to the Bai family back then. I cant watch helplessly as Qiao Guigui is taken away by the Bai family, but I cant do anything to protect her. From now on, only you can protect her. Old Master Qiao spoke for a long time. After saying that, his breathing was unstable and he was a little excited. Qiao Jingmo turned around and walked back to the bed. He took the warm water beside him and handed it to Old Master Qiao. The doctor instructed you to control your emotions. Old Master Qiao took the warm water and took a sip. Only then did he recover a little. He looked up at Qiao Jingmo. I know that Guigui didnt marry you willingly, but this is the only way to protect her now. Jingmo, if the Qiao family suppresses the Bai family in the future and theres no longer the threat of the Bai family, when Guigui still wants to leave, let her go, okay? These words were filled with selfishness. On the one hand, he wanted Qiao Jingmo to control the Qiao family to fight the Bai family and protect Qiao Qiao. On the other hand, he wanted Qiao Jingmo to give Qiao Qiao her freedom after going against the Bai family. Back then, in the bet agreement between the Qiao family and the Bai family, the losing party had to send their daughter to the Bai family. Old Master Qiao only had a son and a daughter. At that time, his daughter had already married into the capital. The Bai family had originally planned to go to the capital to snatch her. Coincidentally, Jiang Lin gave birth to Qiao Qiao. Hence, the Bai family settled for Qiao Qiao. In name, it was a marriage alliance, but in reality, the Bai family didnt have any boys of marriageable age with Qiao Qiao. This was an insult to the Qiao family. If Qiao Qiao was really sent to the Bai family, it would be equivalent to entering a fire pit. One could imagine how she would live the rest of her life. Hence, Old Master Qiao planned ahead from the beginning. He knew very well that his eldest son, Qiao Ruzhang, had limited abilities and wouldnt be able to support the Qiao family for long. He needed a more capable successor. Coincidentally, Shao Jingmo, who had lost his parents, was waiting to be adopted. On one hand, he was his comrade. On the other hand, Old Master Qiao saw the tenacity in Shao Jingmos eyes and planned to nurture Qiao Jingmo to take over the Qiao family. Later on, Old Master Qiao focused on nurturing Qiao Jingmo and pushed him to the peak. Qiao Jingmo didnt disappoint him either. He supported the entire Qiao family by himself, and his ability became more and more outstanding, gaining everyones recognition. Everything was going according to Old Master Qiaos plan. Including Qiao Qiaos three years in the capital, it was also arranged by Old Master Qiao to hide from the Bai family. In these three years, the Qiao family needed to rise to another level. Qiao Jingmos name was also well-known throughout Xingzhou. He already had the ability to protect Qiao Qiao. Every step was a good move by Old Master Qiao, but his body was getting worse and worse. Old Master Qiao looked at the silent Qiao Jingmo. Actually, this childs heart is soft. Get along well after you get married and treat her wholeheartedly. She might accept you. Qiao Jingmo smiled. She wont like me. These words were filled with certainty. Old Master Qiao was about to say something when Qiao Jingmo interrupted him in a calm tone. I know her. What she wants has nothing to do with me. Dont worry. When I completely suppress the Bai family, Ill divorce her and give her the freedom she wants. Old Master Qiao closed his eyes. Its been hard on you, Jingmo. Qiao Jingmo slowly stood up. Theres no grievance in the adult world. Love and liking cant be synchronized. I dont care about these. Old Master Qiao couldnt tell if he meant what he said. Meanwhile, Qiao Qiao, who was rolling around on her own bed, had no idea that she would be snatched away to be someone elses mistress at any moment. Although she did not know about these things, she was no longer worried about marrying Qiao Jingmo. She had already accepted it calmly. She analyzed it carefully and determined not to move out with Qiao Jingmo after marriage. At the very least, staying in the Qiao family would ensure her personal safety. When she could get a divorce, she would get a divorce without hesitation. At that time, she would fly back to the Capital without stopping and return to her previous life. Just thinking about it made her feel that the future was promising. However, there was one thing that troubled Qiao Qiao. She lay on the bed and rested her chin on her hands. She asked herself, Do we really have to sleep together after we get married? Capital. In the suburban courtyard. Pei Jingzhou made three side dishes. There was no soup, and the food looked, smelled, and tasted good. It was obvious that it was delicious. Li Xiwu temporarily put aside the matter of Qiao Qiao and Qiao Jingmo getting married and sat down to eat seriously. Pei Jingzhou asked her, How is it compared to your cooking skills? Li Xiwu: Im ashamed of my inferiority. Pei Jingzhou curved his lips. You sure know how to praise. Li Xiwu took the initiative to pour Pei Jingzhou a cup of Peach Blossom Wine. Fourth Brother, you always say that youre craving for this. Do you want to drink to your hearts content tonight? Pei Jingzhou took the cup of peach blossom wine from her. From your tone, you want to get me drunk? Li Xiwu: Had she written all her thoughts on her face? There was not much Peach Blossom Wine left. There was only this jar, but it was enough for tonight. Although Li Xiwu had a clear goal in mind, she tried her best not to make it too obvious. From time to time, she would clink her glass and stare at him from time to time. Pei Jingzhou liked this. He was already slightly tipsy after dinner. Li Xiwu asked him to go in and rest while she cleaned up the dishes. Pei Jingzhou didnt allow her to do so. He maintained his clear-headed movements and pace as he went to clean up the dishes. He didnt allow Li Xiwu to enter the kitchen. Ten minutes later, when Pei Jingzhou returned to his room, Li Xiwu had already made the bed. He looked at the neat surface of the bed. Waiting for Li Xiwu smiled. Mm. He took off his jacket and walked over. He took her hand and lay down on the bed. Everything was so natural, and Li Xiwus reaction was very obedient. Pei Jingzhou was on top of her, kneeling on one knee beside her. Just as he was about to kiss her, she raised her head and seemed to be taking the initiative. Pei Jingzhou paused and slowly opened his clear eyes. After looking at each other for a moment, his lips curled into a playful smile. Honey, what are you up to? Being seen through, Li Xiwu was very calm. She said calmly, Theoretically speaking, a drunk man couldnt do it. I want to see if Fourth Brother is really drunk or not. Pei Jingzhous palm caressed the back of her shoulder and pinched the back of her neck. Are you sure you can say this? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Why not mmm Pei Jingzhou lowered his head and kissed her lips.. Chapter 239 - Chapter 239: There’s No Substitute, Only You Chapter 239: Theres No Substitute, Only You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu did not plan to do it directly. Therefore, she begged for mercy after the kiss. Pei Jingzhou was drunk and his head was a little dizzy. He let her go and lay beside her with the back of his hand covering his eyes. Li Xiwu adjusted her breathing. After she calmed down, she turned around and propped her head up to look at Pei Jingzhous tired sleeping face. She adjusted her posture and called out softly, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou replied, Mm. Li Xiwu continued to ask, Are you tired? Pei Jingzhou said, No. Li Xiwu suppressed the smile on her face and got up. She propped herself up beside him and looked down at him. Fourth Brother, let me give you a massage. Pei Jingzhou removed his hand. When he opened his eyes, he saw her sly smile. Where are you massaging? Li Xiwu smiled and asked, Where else could it be? Pei Jingzhou touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue. Two minutes later, Li Xiwu was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Pei Jingzhous head was resting on Li Xiwus thigh. His eyes were closed as he enjoyed Li Xiwu massaging his temples. When he was slightly drunk, Pei Jingzhous skin would be slightly pinker than usual. His lips would be even darker red than usual, and his slightly drunk state was captivating. After massaging for a while, Li Xiwus fingertips started to ache. She softened her grip and started to find a topic to talk about. Fourth Brother, are you and Li You childhood sweethearts? As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou opened his eyes. You and I are childhood sweethearts. Li Xiwus fingers paused. She lowered her head and saw Pei Jingzhou opening his eyes and looking at her. Li Xiwu didnt stop there. Instead, she continued to ask, Then when did we meet? Pei Jingzhou said, When Im seven and youre five. Li Xiwu: So young? Pei Jingzhou: Otherwise, how could we be called childhood sweethearts? Alright, just as Pei Jingzhou had said, they had known each other since they were young. Only then could they be considered true childhood sweethearts. She didnt ask too much about her childhood and asked what she wanted to know more. How many years have I been in Country T? Pei Jingzhou said, You followed your father overseas when you were 16. Li Xiwu did some calculations. She had left the country at the age of 16. She was now 25 years old. Four years ago, she was brought back from Country T by Pei Jingzhou. That meant that she had stayed in Country T for more than five years. Five years could leave a lot of memories. Regardless of whether it was a good or bad memory, as long as it existed, it should be left behind. However, she had no memory of her years in Country T at all. She thought that it was not just caused by memory loss. Otherwise, how could she have forgotten so thoroughly? Recalling that day at the Li Mansion, Gu Lanshi tried to get a psychotherapist to awaken her memories. Li Xiwu suddenly asked, Is my memory loss due to hypnosis? Pei Jingzhou suddenly grabbed her wrist. In the next second, he got up and looked at her face to face. Li Xiwu was nonchalant and even smiled, Is it inconvenient to answer this question? Pei Jingzhou asked her instead, Do you want to remember these things? Honestly, Li Xiwu wanted to. She did not think that all the things that had happened recently were all illusory. They definitely existed. That was why she often dreamed of them. Otherwise, it did not explain why Li Yous father was in her dream. So she really wanted to know what had happened in the past. She wanted to know what kind of great sorrow, joy, and ups and downs she had experienced. Although her fathers death was a huge blow, she still felt that something was missing. It was very important. The very important part should be the memory that caused her to suffer so much that she wished she was dead. She was really curious, but she was also afraid that she would not be able to withstand it, causing the world that was built now to fall apart because she recalled the past. Li Xiwu raised her hand and touched her face. My appearance is somewhat different from Li Yous. Pei Jingzhou reached out and pulled her into his arms. Youve repaired your appearance. Li Xiwu was lying in Pei Jingzhous embrace. When she heard this, she was stunned. Face repair? Yes. Pei Jingzhou told her, When I brought you back from Country T, you were seriously injured. The scar on your face needs to be repaired. After your face is repaired, there will be some obvious changes to your previous appearance. With that, Li Xiwu suddenly pushed him away. Pei Jingzhou was stunned. Li Xiwu raised her chin with a cold expression. So you made me think that I had been a substitute for three years. Pei Jingzhou: This step would have to be explained sooner or later, but it came so suddenly that Pei Jingzhou was not prepared to deal with it. Li Xiwu crossed her arms in front of her chest and acted like a queen. Before this, I was still thinking that if we could adopt Yaoyao, we could adopt Yaoyao together. After all, you cant have children. But now, I feel that divorce is the best decision. Lets go our separate ways. Pei Jingzhou: He was just having a good chat with his wife a second ago, but the next second, his wife turned hostile and asked for a divorce!! Pei Jingzhou smiled helplessly. It wasnt my intention for you to be a substitute. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. You better explain yourself, or else youll have to sleep in the courtyard tonight. Pei Jingzhou looked out of the window. Its freezing. Are you sure? Li Xiwu: Its not like Im freezing, right? At this moment, 70% of Li Xiwus anger was real, and the remaining 30% was a spur of the moment. She thought about how she had thought that she had been a substitute for three years. Facing his gentle words, she was afraid that she would fall deeply in love with him. She also had to stay sober at all times, afraid that once she fell for him, she would cut off her path of retreat. Pei Jingzhou explained, Initially, I wanted to tell the other members of the Pei family that you are still alive. However, I was afraid that they would remind you of those bad memories, so I didnt tell the other members of the Pei family. Thats why I said that you are my substitute. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into his arms. There was indeed a first love, but it later turned into a cinnabar mole, so the first love was you, and the cinnabar mole was also you. There was never anyone else. Li Xiwu called out softly, Pei Jingzhou. He replied, Yes. Li Xiwu slowly asked, If I hadnt appeared on this variety show, those people wouldnt have come to look for me one after another just because they saw me on the show. If these prerequisites hadnt happened, would you have planned to hide it from me for the rest of your life? This was his affirmative answer. Li Xiwu felt a lot better after hearing the answer. Pei Jingzhou said, Do you know why I proposed a three-year marriage agreement? Li Xiwu straightened up and looked straight at him. Why? This was what she was curious about. Pei Jingzhou told her, I tricked you into this marriage when you lost your memory. In a sense, other than that paper proof, the marriage doesnt completely count. If you recover your memory three years later, the agreement wont bind you. You can leave because you hate me for taking your memory. If you dont remember the past three years later, Ill tell you on that day, but I wont let you leave.. Chapter 240 - Chapter 240: Crying for Half a Night Chapter 240: Crying for Half a Night Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu asked with a faint smile, What if I insist on leaving? Pei Jingzhou smiled bitterly. If you dont want me, what should I do? Li Xiwu held her breath. Even without me, you still Pei Jingzhou smiled. There wont be anyone else. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Fourth Brother, its late. Go to sleep. Pei Jingzhou said, Okay. That night, Li Xiwu clearly felt Pei Jingzhous uneasiness. He was a man who could devise strategies for everything except for her. This cherishment was not a pressure to Li Xiwu, but it made her feel a little hesitant. The next day, Li Xiwu took Pei Jingzhous car to the company. When the car arrived at Hua Guan Media, Pei Jingzhou asked her, What do you want to eat tonight? Li Xiwu didnt give a perfunctory answer. Instead, she earnestly listed out the names of the dishes. Pei Jingzhou noted it down and said, Can we go back to Tan Hua Manor tonight? Li Xiwu had no objections. Anything is fine. Pei Jingzhou hugged her and kissed her. Li Xiwu also responded. A few minutes later, Li Xiwu entered the office with a bag of snacks. Yuanyuan arrived at the office very early. She knew that Miss Li was not filming today, so she had already cleaned the office before Miss Li arrived. Li Xiwu had just finished cleaning when Yuanyuan walked in. She put down the rag and greeted, Miss Li. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, Why are you at the office today? Yuanyuan said, Sister Weiling took two days off from the production team. I had nothing else to do, so I came to the company to find something to do. Li Xiwu nodded and passed the bag to Yuanyuan. These are the handmade snacks I made in my spare time. They havent been opened yet. Take them and eat them. Give some to your colleagues who are close to you. Also, leave a jar of pork jerky. Ill bring it up to President Qi later. Yuanyuan took it happily, Im so lucky!! Li Xiwu smiled and sat down behind her desk. She turned on her computer, logged into the computer version of WeChat, and began to work. Yuanyuan opened a can of persimmon biscuits and walked to Li Xiwus desk. Miss Li, is this persimmon biscuit the one you made in the video? Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. Yuanyuan was very excited. Im really lucky. Li Xiwu looked up at Yuanyuan. How is Weiling doing? Yuanyuan took out the persimmon biscuit and replied seriously, Its not very good. Shes quite dispirited. I did as you said and supervised her not to go online, but it was useless. She would still look at the criticisms online. Last night, she closed all the comments and private messages on Weibo. The anti-fans couldnt scold her under her Weibo, so they went to scold her under the official Weibo account of the drama she had recently filmed. She should have cried for half the night last night. When I left this morning, her eyes were still swollen. Yuanyuan reported in detail. Li Xiwu fell silent for a few seconds before asking, Since shes asked for leave, is the production team going to start work normally? Yuanyuan nodded. Yes, theyre starting work normally. However, theyre only filming supporting roles. Qi Zishen didnt go to the production team either. This drama has been plagued with problems since filming started. They had no choice but to delete the scenes of the third male lead, Chi Xu, and reshoot them. Now, the male and female leads are still in a bad scandal. Some of our investments have been withdrawn. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. All the bad things happened together. Just as she finished speaking, the phone on the table buzzed. Li Xiwu took the phone and looked at the caller ID. It seemed to be within her expectations. She closed her eyes helplessly. Yuanyuan craned her neck to see who the caller was. Before she could see it, she heard Miss Li say, Its the general manager of D Perfume Asia Pacific. Yuanyuan was shocked. Its over. We cant keep the D Perfume endorsement. Li Xiwu knew what was going on, so she was very calm. She composed herself and picked up the phone. Manager Ren. Ren Jias voice was very friendly on the phone. Miss Li, are you busy? Li Xiwu replied, Im not busy. Is Manager Ren going to talk about the endorsement? Ren Jia was already very polite. Yes, Im calling to talk about this matter. Other than the commercial value of the artist, D Perfume also values the artists private morals. For the sake of the brands future development in the country and the reputation problem, D Perfume has decided to unilaterally terminate its endorsement deal with Hua Guan Medias artist Ji Weiling. Li Xiwu had already expected the outcome of this matter. The other party had already given her enough face and terminated the contract peacefully. There was no need to make things too ugly. Li Xiwu naturally knew that there was no way to salvage the situation, so she also apologized politely, Im deeply sorry that this matter has caused trouble for D Perfume. I hope that we can work together again in the future. Ren Jia smiled faintly. Miss Li, youre a very good artist mentor. Im also looking forward to our next collaboration. The call ended. Li Xiwu placed the phone back on the table. Yuanyuan leaned over and asked carefully, Did the endorsement fail? Li Xiwu said, Mhm. Yuanyuan sighed, Its late, but its here. Li Xiwu said, If she asks, tell her the truth. Theres no need to hide it. Shell learn from her mistakes and grow up. Yuanyuan nodded. Okay. Li Xiwu finished her work and went upstairs to meet Qi Jiangchi. When she knocked on the door and entered, Qi Jiangchi was on the phone. Li Xiwu placed the can of preserved pork on the table. Qi Jiangchi hurriedly ended the call and pointed at the two sealed cans on the table. Did you bring these for me? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Qi Jiangchi was obviously flattered. Im so lucky. As he spoke, he took it over, opened the sealed can, and started eating. Li Xiwu sat down. Im here to ask about the termination contract. Qi Jiangchi ate three pieces of pork jerky in one go. When he heard Li Xiwus words, he seemed to have expected it. My wallet is bulging. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Earning money is meant to be spent. Only by spending money can you have the motivation to earn money. Qi Jiangchi closed the sealed can and took out the signed termination contract from the drawer. Pay the money to the finance department yourself. From tomorrow onwards, Ji Weiling will no longer be an artist of Hua Guan. Li Xiwu picked up the termination contract and casually said, Qi Zishen has been through a lot of flowers and has been floating around for so many years without failing. If he fails one day Alright, alright, alright! Qi Jiangchi interrupted Li Xiwu. If he fails, our companys annual net profit will be reduced by more than half. Li Xiwu: I just mentioned it casually. President Qi is so nervous. Qi Jiangchi pulled a long face. It cant be helped. Hes now the cash cow of Hua Guan. The last person who could earn money for the company like Qi Zishen was Xie Wen, but I dont think our company will have another Xie Wen. Even Miao Zhiyi cant compare to her money-making power.. Chapter 241 - Chapter 241: Son? Whose son? Chapter 241: Son? Whose son? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu smiled and didnt reply. She got up and said, Im leaving. Qi Jiangchi waved the sealed can in his hand. Thank you for feeding mea She came out of the office. Li Xiwu took out her phone and called Xue Jinzhu. At this moment, Xue Jinzhu, who was playing cards, picked up Li Xiwus call in a hurry. Sister Li, did you take the initiative to call me because you missed Li Xiwu asked, What are you doing? Xue Jinzhu lied without changing her expression. Im watching television. Li Xiwu was amused. Why do I hear mahjong? Xue Jinzhu said, Theyre playing mahjong on TV. Wait a minute, let me take a look at this card. Its the wrong card Hey, hey, Sister Li, did you hear that? Its the people on television who said that its the wrong card, not me Li Xiwu: This Xue Jinzhu was so young. She was not keen on shopping and doing nails, but she liked to play cards. Li Xiwu did not understand! She threw a sentence at Xue Jinzhu. Whether you want to win immediately or not, you have to reach the company by eleven. Xue Jinzhu looked at the time and quickly pushed the cards in front of her. Ahhh, theres still fifteen minutes. Im not playing anymore. You guys play first. i With that, she quickly slipped away. Xue Jinzhu arrived at the company before eleven oclock. She pushed the door open and entered. Sister Li, Im here. Its not eleven yet. I should be on time! Li Xiwu looked up from behind her desk. Are you lucky today? Xue Jinzhu panted as she replied, Its alright. I won more than 1,600 before I came. When I left, the faces of the other three mahjong friends turned green. They probably wont be playing cards with me for a while. Li Xiwu said, Its my fault. Of course Xue Jinzhu smiled. I dont blame Sister Li. Xue Jinzhu, who had an extremely strong desire to live, quickly went forward and stood beside Li Xiwu. She bent down and asked, Sister Li, are you in such a hurry to summon me to the company because you have some important mission for me? Li Xiwu folded her hands and looked at Xue Jinzhu. Yes, I do. Xue Jinzhu was looking forward to it. What mission? Li Xiwu said, The mission is to stay in the company for class. The smile on Xue Jinzhus face gradually disappeared. Class? Li Xiwu nodded. Voice, script, image and performance. Mandarin and physical image. Xue Jinzhu said weakly, But my Mandarin is very accurate. Li Xiwu said, Its accurate. Xue Jinzhu said, Accurate! After a while, Li Xiwu opened the drawer and handed a curriculum to Xue Jinzhu. Now, as long as I have time, Ill personally watch you go to class. From one to three today, go to Image Room One to practice your form. From four to six, go to the ideological and moral recuperation and legal foundation classes. Although the teacher taught you these when you were studying, as an artist, you still have to learn them again to prevent you from taking the wrong path in the future. The smile on Xue Jinzhus face had completely disappeared. It doesnt end until six? Li Xiwu said, Too short? How about eight oclock? Six oclock! Six oclock! Six oclock it is, Xue Jinzhu compromised. After a pause, Xue Jinzhu asked, Then what should I do now? Li Xiwu said, To voice training. Xue Jinzhu puffed up her cheeks and pouted. Sister Li, have you been stimulated by something? Li Xiwu put down her folded hands and leaned back. You dont say. It was really stimulating. And it was quite stimulating. Xue Jinzhu was nervous. Huh? Sister Li, what triggered you? Li Xiwu looked up at the confused Xue Jinzhu with a faint smile. Xie Wen is my peak. I fell, and now Ive fallen again halfway. I cant just fall twice in a row and not be able to recover, right? Therefore, you have a long way to go. When Xue Jinzhu heard this, she was not happy because Li Xiwu thought highly of her. Instead, she was very discouraged. Then wouldnt I have so much pressure? Li Xiwu said, Then should I change to someone else? Ill learn, Ill learn, Ill learn!! Xue Jinzhu was afraid that she would fall out of favor. Ill definitely study seriously and not disappoint Sister Li. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. That would be best, of course. Creating stars required a certain amount of luck. Actually, the bet on Xue Jinzhu was very risky. Previously, with Xie Wen and Ji Weiling as comparisons, Xue Jinzhus starting point had become very low. It was very difficult to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Even if she parachuted in as a resource celebrity, she might not be able to cause much of a stir after filming a few female lead dramas. But everything could only be risked. How could a bicycle become a motorcycle without taking a gamble? After an entire day of classes, Xue Jinzhu was tortured. The voice training almost made her throat hoarse. The afternoons image training made her, who had never practiced dance, scream her heart out in the image room. In the last ideological and moral recuperation and legal foundation course, Xue Jinzhu was very sleepy and was hit in the palm by the teacher several times. The moment she came out of the classroom, Xue Jinzhu pointed at the door. This lousy class ends here! After taking a few steps, Xue Jinzhu turned back and pointed at the door. Ill come again another day! With that, she slipped away. It was already very late when Li Xiwu finished her work today. Pei Jingzhous car waited outside for more than ten minutes before Li Xiwu rushed down. Sorry to keep you waiting. She got into the car. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you done with your work? Li Xiwu nodded and smiled easily. Theres a lot of work piling up, but its all taken care of. Just as she finished speaking, Xue Jinzhu, who had come out of the company, saw that Li Xiwus car door was still open. She ran over in a hurry and pounced on Li Xiwus lap. She stretched out her hands for Li Xiwu to see. Sister Li, it hurts. Li Xiwu looked down at the palms of Xue Jinzhus hands. They were indeed a little red. Li Xiwu knew all the teachers Hua Guan taught celebrities. They were even stricter than the teachers in school. She was about to comfort her, at that moment, Xue Jinzhu looked up and saw the man sitting beside Li Xiwu. She immediately fell silent and silently retreated. Boss is also here. Hehehe, sorry to disturb you. Ill leave! With that, she slipped away. Li Xiwu: After the car door closed, Li Xiwu looked at the unsmiling Pei Jingzhou beside her. Fourth Brother, look. You just sat there and didnt even have to say a word. You scared her away. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Yes, its my fault. Li Xiwu said, The teacher at Hua Guan is indeed a little strict. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Feel sorry for her? Li Xiwu said, A little. Shes not from a scientific class. Her starting point will be harder than anyone elses. It was rare for Pei Jingzhou to add, People who know how to cause trouble wont be too lucky. Her future will be easy. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows and her mood improved. Then Ill have to borrow Fourth Brothers auspicious words. Pei Jingzhou pulled her closer. Are you tired? Li Xiwu said, Not so bad. Pei Jingzhou said, Ill help you massage it. Li Xiwu did not refuse. Although Pei Jingzhou should be more tired after his work ended, Pei Jingzhou would still do the same if she rejected him. She relaxed in his arms. A buzzing vibration came from Pei Jingzhous pocket. Pei Jingzhou said, Answer it for me. Li Xiwu did as she was told and took the phone out of his pocket. She looked at the screen. It was a call from Han Qianye. Li Xiwu picked it up and put the phone to her ear. Before she could speak, Han Qians voice came from the receiver. Wheres your son? Will you bring him over tonight? Li Xiwu was stunned.. Son? Whose son? Chapter 242 - Chapter 242: Compare the Photos of Pei Jingzhou and Yaoyao Chapter 242: Compare the Photos of Pei Jingzhou and Yaoyao Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Although she was not on speaker, the two of them were extremely close. Pei Jingzhou should have heard what Han Qianye said. Just as she thought, Pei Jingzhou had indeed heard her. He freed his hand to take the phone from her hand and said to Han Qianye, Madam Di Xin has already taken Yaoyao away. Han Qianye was surprised. Youre letting her take him away just like that? Hey, although I dont know how you arranged it, isnt it better to leave him at the Pei residence than with Madam Di Xin? Pei Jingzhou said calmly, Why dont you listen to what youre saying? What am I talking about? Im talking about, uh when are you and Xixi coming back? Han Qianye was slow for a few seconds before she quickly reacted and stopped talking. Pei Jingzhou said, On the way back. Han Qianye said that she understood and hurriedly hung up. The atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet. Pei Jingzhou looked sideways and saw Li Xiwu resting her chin on her hand and quietly looking out of the car window. Without needing Li Xiwu to ask, Pei Jingzhou explained himself, The first time Mom saw Yaoyao, she felt that Yaoyao looked a little like me when I was young, so she joked that Yaoyao was my illegitimate son. Li Xiwus eyelids twitched. She turned around and looked up at him. Fourth Brother, do you think Ive misunderstood? Even if you didnt misunderstand, I think its necessary to explain, he said softly. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. I was indeed a little puzzled just now, but after thinking about it, I felt that Auntie should be talking about Yaoyao. I didnt expect you to be right. Pei Jingzhou, who was hugging her, smiled. At this moment, Li Xiwu suddenly asked, Did Yaoyao really look like you when you were young? Pei Jingzhou said in an uncertain tone, I cant remember what I looked like when I was young because the last time I saw a photo of me when I was young was more than ten years ago. Li Xiwu believed this. Han Qianye might flip through the photo album when she is bored. Pei Jingzhou would not look at photos of his childhood for no reason. She slowly sat up straight. Since Auntie said that you look alike, you should look a little alike. When we get back to the Pei residence later, Ill ask Auntie about Fourth Brothers childhood photos and compare them. Pei Jingzhou replied, Okay. It was a ten-minute drive. The car drove into Tan Hua Mansion. Han Qianye waited for a long time before finally seeing Li Xiwu. She came out in a hurry and took Li Xiwus hand as they walked in. You should like all the dishes tonight, she said. Li Xiwu was not very resistant to Han Qianye i s enthusiasm and calmly adapted. Pei Youan was not around today, and Pei Jiao would be back very late, so there were only four of them for dinner. Just as the meal was about to start, the butler, Uncle Dong, hurried in. Madam, Mrs. Zhou is here. Mrs. Zhou, Lin Yourong. Han Qianye was pulling Li Xiwu along and talking about happy things. When she heard the butler say that Lin Yourong was here, her bright and lively face pulled down in the next second. Although she had not liked Lin Yourong much recently, there had to be etiquette. Since she was already here, she naturally couldnt chase her away with a cold expression. Han Qianye turned to Li Xiwu and said, Ill go pick up Yourong. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. Then, Han Qianye stood up and walked out. Before anyone could hear her voice, Lin Yourongs smiling voice sounded. Qianye? Qianye? Han Qianye walked out. Coming, coming. Lin Yourong had been to Tan Hua Manor several times. Coupled with her identity, she would be let in. Not long after her car arrived outside the Pei residence, she saw Han Qianye, who had come out to welcome her. She was overjoyed. She walked closer and quickly held Han Qianyes hand, saying in a reproachful tone, I havent seen you for a long time. Do you know how much I missed you? The two sisters were used to holding hands, but Han Qianye was not used to it. Perhaps because of what happened last time, she was still a little disgusted. However, Han Qianye was still passable on the surface. Ive been busy recording the show recently and dont have much free time. I forgot about you. Lin Yourong asked, Theres only the last episode left, right? Han Qianye said, Yes, theres still the last episode. Youre finally done recording, Lin Yourong said. When the episode is over, Ill accompany you to relax. Rolls-Royce has arranged a fragrance art salon. Its the day after you finished recording the last episode. Ive already made time. Han Qianye nodded. Alright, Ill bring Xixi along. Lin Yourongs smile froze. Qianye, your relationship with Li Xiwu has been getting better and better recently. Han Qianye changed the topic and asked, IWhy are you here tonight? Lin Yourongs lukewarm voice said, I missed you. You blocked me and didnt reply to my WeChat contact. I had something on during the day, so I had time to come over at night. Han Qianye: If not for Lin Yourongs reminder, Han Qianye would have forgotten that she had already blocked Lin Yourongs number. Han Qianye laughed dryly. Maybe I made a mistake. Ill pull it out for you later. As for WeChat, I havent used it much recently. Lin Yourong did not expose her openly. Then you have to quickly pull me out of the blacklist. Also, look at WeChat more often. Han Qianye nodded and pulled Lin Yourong in. You came just in time. I was about to start dinner. Lin Yourong was surprised. Its already half past six. You havent had dinner turned around and asked, Youve eaten? I ate before I came, Lin Yourong teased. Otherwise, if I came over at this time, wouldnt I be deliberately freeloading? I thought you had eaten too. Not yet, Han Qianye said. Xixis work ended a little late today, so dinner naturally started a little later. Lin Yourongs expression changed slightly when she heard Han Qianye call out Xixi intimately. Not only did she not get a divorce on this variety show, but their relationship also became better and better. It was annoying. In the living room, Li Xiwu had already gotten up. She looked up and saw Lin Yourong walking beside Han Qianye. She greeted her politely, Mrs. Zhou. Lin Yourong sized up Li Xiwu. I can only see you on the live broadcast usually. Im finally seeing you in person today. Youre so beautiful. Youre much more beautiful than on the live broadcast. Li Xiwu was humble. Thank you. Mrs. Zhou, you look very good too. Lin Yourong said, My complexion is all taken care of. How can I compare to a young girl like you? Li Xiwu was unperturbed. I thought Mrs. Zhous complexion was natural, especially the luster of your skin. I feel ashamed. Lin Yourong smiled calmly. Youre too modest. Today was the first time Lin Yourong had come into direct contact with Li Xiwu. She had only seen her from afar.. Chapter 243 - Chapter 243: Exposing Li Xiwu as a Substitute Chapter 243: Exposing Li Xiwu as a Substitute Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After watching the live broadcast, Lin Yourong knew that Li Xiwu was a person who knew her limits. Now that she had come into contact with her, Lin Yourong felt that Li Xiwu should have restrained herself in the live broadcast. In reality, she was definitely not simple. No wonder she could easily control Han Qianye. Uncle Dong walked over and nodded. Madam, we can start eating. Han Qianye looked at Lin Yourong. Why dont you eat more? Lin Yourong rejected her with a smile. No, I didnt come at the right time. I thought you had all eaten. Han Qianye pulled Lin Yourong. Since youre already here, eat more. Lin Yourong pretended to be unable to refuse. Then Ill trouble you. How could it be trouble? Han Qianye gritted her teeth and maintained a warm smile. Its only lively with you in the dining room. Although Han Qianye was just being polite, Lin Yourong was indeed more lively during the meal. Although Lin Yourong had only eaten a little during the meal, her mouth was mainly used to talk. It was all interesting topics that didnt sound annoying. Lin Yourong was not from a rich family, but she had learned wealth and self-restraint, especially when Pei Qingjis around. Lin Yourong did not dare to say anything wrong. Of course, she also knew what to say and what not to say. The atmosphere in the dining room was maintained quite well. After dinner, Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou went for a walk in the front garden. Pei Qingji went to do his own thing. Lin Yourong had no intention of leaving, so she pulled Han Qianye and continued chatting. Han Qianye was annoyed, but she had no choice. Lin Yourong was still a guest. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, there was no reason for the host to give the guest a hard time. She was thinking that after Lin Yourong left, she would inform the property security that they would not let her in in the future. That would save a lot of trouble! As she was thinking, she heard Lin Yourong ask her, At the dining table just now, I saw that they were quite close. Han Qianye smiled. Jingzhou and Xixi have always been very close. Lin Yourong asked in confusion, Didnt you say before that Li Xiwu is a substitute? Your son has a first love Before she could finish speaking, Han Qianye covered Lin Yourongs mouth with her hand. What nonsense are you talking about? Where did this substitute come from? Lin Yourong suddenly doubted her memory. But why do I remember Han Qianye said, You remembered wrong. Lin Yourong was confused. Huh? Did I remember wrongly? Han Qianyes expression did not change. Jingzhou and Xixi just had a small conflict back then. This is normal. I)ont you argue with your husband? Anyway, my husband and I quarrel from time to time. Lin Yourong was speechless. She thought carefully. Seeing that Lin Yourong was about to take it seriously, Han Qianye quickly interrupted, The last episode of the recording will start tomorrow. Its only the last three days. I cant bear to let this show end. Lin Yourong sneered. Whats there to be reluctant about? When I recorded this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show back then, I tried my best to convince myself to persevere. Later on, as long as I thought that I could chase that Gao guy away after recording this show, I immediately became motivated. Fortunately, my efforts paid off. Han Qianye knew that these words more or less implied her. It was just not so obvious. She didnt reply and laughed it off. At this moment, Li Xiwu had been waiting outside for a long time. Lin Yourong did not come out for a long time. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was almost nine oclock. It was time to go back. It was unknown when Lin Yourong would leave, but Li Xiwu did not want to waste any more time. She turned to Pei Jingzhou and said, Fourth Brother, lets go back to Lake Luu Pei Jingzhou asked, Are you sure? Li Xiwu nodded. Ill see it another day. See what? Naturally, she wanted to look at Pei Jingzhous photo album when he was young! This photo album was in Han Qianyes bedroom. It was not convenient for her and Pei Jingzhou to go to Han Qianyes bedroom, and the servants could not go in directly. They had to get Han Qianyes permission first. But now that Han Qianye was accompanying Lin Yourong, Li Xiwu wanted to wait. In the end, Lin Yourong did not come out even after waiting for so long. It was almost nine oclock, and it was time to go back. Li Xiwu knew that she could not delay for too long. She would have to trouble the butler, Uncle Dong, to pass on the message later and leave with Pei Jingzhou. In the car. Li Xiwu didnt say much. She was usually like this and rarely said anything, but tonight was clearly different. Pei Jingzhou could feel it. He pulled her hand toward him. Is it because you didnt see the photo album? Li Xiwu pulled her hand back. Im just curious about the photo album. But youre in a bad mood, Pei Jingzhou said. Li Xiwu didnt mean what she said. Im not in a bad mood. Im fine. Pei Jingzhou suddenly couldnt tell what she was thinking. He pulled her hand over again and rubbed his fingers. Tell me. Li Xiwu raised her eyes slightly. What do you want to hear? Pei Jingzhou said, Whats on your mind. Li Xiwu smiled. I didnt even notice that I had something on my mind. How can you be sure that I have something on my mind? Pei Jingzhou said, I have no choice. I know you too well. These words rendered Li Xiwu speechless. It was true that she rarely revealed her emotions. Most of the time, she was very reserved. It was difficult for others to guess her thoughts, but Pei Jingzhou was an exception. He could always sense her strange thoughts immediately. She used to think that he understood psychology. Now she knew that he just knew her too well. The smile on Li Xiwus lips slowly faded. There are some things where I only see the outcome and dont care much about the process, so Im not in the mood to speculate carefully. When I saw Mrs. Zhou tonight, I realized that I had overlooked many things. Pei lingzhou asked. What did you overlook? Li Xiwu said slowly, Aunties original intention for inviting me to this show. Li Xiwu would not mention the matter of 400 million in front of Pei Jingzhou for the time being. Therefore, her tone quickly relaxed. Im just sighing. Its nothing on my mind. Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou walked for only a few minutes. Lin Yourong also came out. Han Qianye took a few steps and learned from Uncle Dong that her son and daughter-in-law had left first. She was discouraged. Lin Yourong asked in an inquiring tone, They dont live in the Pei residence? Han Qianye was not in a good mood now. The young couple has their own world. Why must we live together? They could just come back and eat together when they have time. Thats true. Lin Yourong nodded. Then Ill leave first, Qianye. Remember to pull my number out of the blacklist. Han Qianye nodded absent-mindedly. Got it. After watching Lin Yourong get into the car, Han Qianye returned. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She called Uncle Dong over. Go tell the property security that if this woman comes in the future, stop her. Dont let her in easily. Uncle Dong nodded. Okay, Madam. After giving her instructions, Han Qianye felt a little better. Lin Yourong did not know that not only had she been blacklisted by Han Qianye, but she had also been blacklisted by the Tan Hua Mansion. When she returned home, Lin Huan jogged forward. Aunt, how is it? Have you reconciled with Auntie Han? Im doing it personally. How can we reconcile? Lin Yourong said confidently. Qianye is soft-hearted. Ill just coax her a little. Lin Huan was also happy. Thats good. Lin Yourong suddenly grabbed Lin Huans hand. Huanhuan, your chance is here. Lin Huan bit her lip. Chance? Do I still have a chance? If I say so! At this moment, Lin Yourong was all smiles. Qianye even tried to fool me, making me think that I really remembered wrongly. On the way back, I thought about it carefully and didnt remember it wrongly at all. Huanhuan, guess why Im so sure? Lin Huan was curious. Why? Lin Yourongs face was about to burst into laughter. Because I remembered that persons name. Qianye only mentioned it once. Her name is Li You. Look, even her name is the same surname, so Li Xiwu is the substitute her son found. Lin Huans eyes widened. Substitute? Thats right. Pei Jingzhou used to love someone very much. Her name was Li You! Lin Yourong said proudly, At that time, Qianye said it herself, but she only mentioned it once. I didnt take it too seriously at that time. After all, Qianye didnt like her either. She said that she wanted to become a phoenix. Now that I think about it, isnt this a good opportunity in front of me? Lin Huan swallowed. Then, Aunt, what are you planning to do? What am I going to do Lin Yourong said meaningfully, Of course. Help Qianye finish what she didnt finish.. Chapter 244 - Chapter 244: Han Qianye: Can You Work Harder! Chapter 244: Han Qianye: Can You Work Harder! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mother-in-law Joys last episode was recorded in North Water Town. North Water Town was also a small town outside the suburbs of the capital. It occupied a larger area than Fu Town. It was covered in green bricks and tiles and was surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was not as strict as bookings in Fu Town. Usually, tourists only needed to book a hotel in advance. The production team had already arranged a place to stay in North Water Town in advance. The next day, Li Xiwu packed her luggage briefly and got into the car to pick her up to North Water Town. She went to pick up Han Qianye. The production team staff helped her with her luggage, so she did not waste any time. As soon as Han Qianye got into the car, she began to chat. If I had known that the last episode would be recorded in North Water Town, I would have suggested that the production team choose North Water Town from the start. This North Water Town is much more fun than Fu Town. Li Xiwu glanced sideways and asked, Youve been to North Water Town? Ive been there. Han Qianye asked Li Xiwu, Youve never been to North Water Town? Li Xiwu smiled faintly and shook her head. In the past three years, as long as she had time, she had played paragliding most often. Other than that, it was either a shooting club or an equestrian club. She had never traveled far. The only place she frequented in the suburbs of the capital was her small courtyard. Han Qianye immediately said, Its okay. Im familiar with it. Ill bring you to North Water Town to have fun for the next three days. Li Xiwu agreed. Okay. It was still early. The live broadcast would not start until they reached North Water Town. The journey of an hour and thirty minutes was much further than Fu Town. The production teams car took the guests directly to book a hotel. At this moment, the second and third groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already arrived at the hotel. Tang Xian saw Li Xiwu get out of the car and waved at her from afar. Xiwu. Waving her hand, Tang Xian walked over. So were only a few minutes away. Li Xiwu asked, Did you and Jinzhu just arrive? Tang Xian smiled and nodded. Thats right. If we had known, we would have come over in a car. There would have been two more people to chat on the way. Han Qianye, who was pushing her suitcase over, said indifferently, The production team doesnt lack this bit of money. Why should we squeeze in a car? Besides, its not comfortable to squeeze. Han Qianye usually disdained to say such things. Although Tang Xian did not say anything just now, Han Qianye felt uncomfortable when she heard that, so she could not help but retort. Tang Xian was not a petty person. She replied with a smile, If this was summer, it would indeed be uncomfortable to squeeze. But winter was okay. Han Qianye said, I dont like it. Tang Xian did not respond to Han Qianyes words. She went to hold Li Xiwus hand. When I came here just now, I heard from the production crew that theres a hot spring in this hotel. I have high requirements for the water quality of the hot spring, so I asked around. Its a high-quality iron hot spring of 3,000 meters. Iron hot springs are easier to promote the blood circulation in the body and are also very good for the skin. Li Xiwu wasnt used to people who werent very familiar holding her hand as soon as they arrived. Although she had interacted with Tang Xian many times, they were not familiar with each other. She tried to pull her hand back calmly. Tang Xian asked her in confusion, Whats wrong, Xiwu? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Nothing. Seeing Li Xiwu being pulled away by Tang Xian, Han Qianye looked unhappy. Although the live broadcast had yet to start, the surrounding cameras were recording. Under such circumstances, she naturally could not rush over and separate the two of them. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. Han Qianye kicked her suitcase. Xue Jinzhu walked over and said, Auntie Han, be careful not to hurt your feet. Han Qianyes toes did hurt a little, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. Without revealing anything on her face, she turned around and lectured Xue Jinzhu. Why dont you please your mother-in-law? Xue Jinzhu said, Han Qianye said, Look at how enthusiastic she is about my daughter-in-law. Its as if my daughter-in-law is her daughter-in-law. Can you work harder? Xue Jinzhu: Xue Jinzhu, who had not thought much of it at first, suddenly felt that Han Qianyes words made sense. A group was a group. How could they be mixed up! Hence, Xue Jinzhu said, Auntie Han, its fine if we join forces. Han Qianye gla_nced sideways at Xue Jinzhu, who had recommended herself. Xue Jinzhu nodded. Han Qianye said, You cant. Xue Jinzhu whispered, Im a future popular celebrity! This response could not be transmitted to the camera because Xue Jinzhu lowered her voice and whispered into Han Qianyes ear. Han Qianye did not think much of it at first, but she felt that she would seem too inhumane. She clenched her fist and gestured for Xue Jinzhu to work hard. Then work hard. Xue Jinzhu beamed with joy and held Han Qianyes arm affectionately. She whispered, Of course I have to work hard. At the very least, I have to be worthy of the money my father spent on me. Im my fathers pride. Han Qianye looked at Xue Jinzhus giggling and then looked down at Xue Jinzhus hand on her arm. She immediately sighed and thought how good it would be if Xixi could be like this someday. On the first day of the live broadcast in North Water Town today, the production team did not arrange any missions. They had to adapt to the new place first. Apart from that, there would be special guests parachuted in today. This time, the special guests were not arranged by the production team at the last minute. There was this plan in the previous script. It had already been passed, but because the first two episodes could not be broadcast, in order to create more highlights, the production team re-planned the plan that had been passed. During the recording of the previous episode, the production team was already contacting suitable special guests. After interacting with several celebrities, they finally decided on one. She was MO Yujin, an actress who had once been extremely popular in the entertainment industry. The difference between MO Yujin and Min Hanrong was that Min Hanrong was once extremely famous. Later on, she married and retired. She rarely appeared in the audiences sight again. This time, it was the first time she had returned to the audiences sight after more than ten years. MO Yujin had also been famous for a period of time, but she was still filming now. The roles she took on were those of mothers or empress dowagers, and she had a certain status in the industry. This time, MO Yujin participated in the variety show as a special guest to learn how to interact with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in advance and increase the atmosphere of the production team. Moreover, the production team would draw a loyal single female fan of Mother-in-Law Joy to come to the show to experience being MO Yujins daughter-in-law for three days. The production team had already publicized it on the official Weibo account yesterday. Usually, there were only two to three thousand likes on the Weibo account. Yesterday, they posted that they were going to draw a loyal single female fan of Mother-in-Law Joy and experience the daughter-in-law of the last special guest for three days. The likes exceeded 280,000. There were more than 70,000 comments alone. [I dont care who the special guest is. I just want to experience the joy of being on a variety show.] [Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! I havent stopped for a day since Mother-in-Law Joy was broadcasted!] [Although its clearly said that its only three days, three days is also very blissful, okay? Food and accommodation are provided, and I can even interact with Mother Dragon and Min Hanrong. I wouldnt dare to do this even in my dreams..] Chapter 245 - Chapter 245: Sowing Discord Chapter 245: Sowing Discord Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations [Three days is also very blissful!] [I dont want to be a daughter-in-law. I want to experience what its like to be a mother-in-law. Its best to be Sister Lis mother-in-law.] [Li Xiwu: You better be okay?] [Hahaha, Im different. I want to be Tao Jings mother-in-law. Ill be satisfied if Tao Jing plays a piano piece for me from morning to night.] After every comment was posted, it was quickly drowned out. There was still half an hour before the live broadcast started. Tang Xian brought Li Xiwu a plate of cut fruit. Its from the front desk I brought you a plate. Li Xiwu was putting down her luggage. When she saw the fruit platter Tang Xian handed her, she reached out to take it with both hands. Thank you, Auntie Tang. Tang Xian smiled. Youre welcome. As she spoke, Tang Xian sized up the furnishings of Li Xiwus suite. Its similar to the furnishings in my room. Not to mention anything else, the location of this hotel booked by the production team this time is very good. I can see the scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers when I open the window. I heard that the most beautiful time here is at night. Im looking forward to it. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Its very difficult to make an appointment in Fu Town. The production team spent a lot of effort to make an appointment. It should be the same with North Water Town this time. The production team is very attentive. Tang Xian agreed. Right? I also think the production team is really too diligent. There was the sound of a suitcase pulley outside the door. Tang Xian turned around and saw Han Qianye pushing her suitcase in. Tang Xian turned around and made way. Qianye is here. Han Qianye took the opportunity to say, Tang Xian, youre a little strange. Why dont you spend more time with your future daughter-in-law? Why did you keep pestering my daughter-in-law? Beside her, Li Xiwu looked up. Tang Xian smiled calmly. At her age, she was already used to being calm. She looked at Han Qianye, who had spoken in a bad tone just now. I have a good relationship with Jinzhu and Xiwu. I just like the vitality of young people like them. I just want to interact more. Its not what you think. Han Qianye opened the sliding lever of her suitcase. What did I think? Tang Xian asked, Qianye, are you angry? Ill be even angrier if you continue to pester my daughter-in-law like this. Although she said that, Han Qianyes tone was slightly better than before. Tang Xian turned to look at Li Xiwu. Xiwu, does Qianye talk to you in this tone when youre usually at home? Han Qianyes expression changed. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. No, my mother and I dont live together. Han Qianyes heart warmed, especially when she called her mother. When Tang Xian heard this, she nodded in relief. Thats good. Han Qianye looked at Tang Xian. Tang, dont sow discord here. I have to go back to my suite and get ready. With that, Tang Xian opened her phone and looked at it. The live broadcast is in half an hour. Ill see you later. Li Xiwu nodded. Okay. After watching Tang Xian leave, Li Xiwu picked up the fruit platter. Auntie, do you want to try some? Han Qianye was still angry a second ago, but in the next second, all her anger immediately dissipated. She took the fruit platter and said, Thank you, Xixi. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. This is the fruit platter Auntie Tang just sent over. Han Qianye, who was biting a grape, took it out and threw it into the trash can. Its too sour. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Youre unhappy because Auntie Tang and I are too close, right? Han Qianye put the fruit platter back and sighed. Then Tang Xian gives me the feeling that Li Xiwu said, What is it? Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu. Shes trying to poach you. As she spoke, the expression on Han Qianyes face became vigilant. My guess is not groundless. Look, our original four groups are all true mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. After Xie Wen left, Tang Xian and Xue Jinzhu came. Although the two of them are a combination mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, its true that Tang Xian has a son. She doesnt like Xue Jinzhus type. Perhaps shes attracted to you and wants to poach you. Han Qianye was not joking. She had analyzed it rationally. At the thought that Tang Xian might be coveting her daughter-in-law all the time, Han Qianye felt uncomfortable. Li Xiwu did not know what to say. At this moment, a WeChat notification came from her phone, breaking the atmosphere. She took out her phone and clicked on it. It was Mother-in-Law Joys WeChat group. Director Gao sent a voice message: [The live broadcast will be at ten sharp. Please be prepared early. Todays special guest is already on the way. I hope the last episode will be the happiest.] After hearing the voice message, her phone continued to vibrate. Min Hanrong sent a WeChat message asking: [Can you reveal who the special guest for this episode is?] Xue Jinzhu also sniffed the gossip and fired in the group chat: [Is it an actor? Or a singer? Will it be very famous? It should be even more popular than Min Hanrong, right?] Min Hanrong: [@Xue Jinzhu, Im still in the group.] Xue Jinzhu: [I know youre in the group. Whats wrong? @Min Hanrong.] Min Hanrong was speechless. At this moment, Han Qianye was also looking at the group chat. When she saw Xue Jinzhus WeChat message, she chuckled. This girl is really cute sometimes. Li Xiwu smiled back. Han Qianye asked Li Xiwu, Have you guessed who the special guest for this last episode is? Li Xiwu shook her head. The production team didnt reveal anything from the beginning. Its too difficult to guess. Thats true. Han Qianye nodded and said, Not only will there be special guests this time, but we will also draw a loyal single female fan of Mother-in-Law Joy to participate. Needless to say, the last episode is quite By ten oclock sharp, Mother-in-Law Joys live broadcast started on time. The production team had specially made arrangements in advance Square tables had been set up on the hotel rooftop, and the chairs had been tied with ribbons. The surrounding atmosphere was also slightly decorated. The wind today was not strong, and there was some sunlight. The weather was very supportive. The four groups of guests were all gathered on the hotel roof. Everyone sat down one after another and chatted about the beautiful scenery of North Water Town and the lively street market they had to go to tonight. [The last episode of Mother-in-Law Joy that Ive been looking forward to is finally airing-] [I want to save up to watch the premiere, but Im afraid Ill miss the excitement of the live broadcast. Who can understand my mood?] [1 1 m super happy to see Sister Li again.] [I heard that not only are there special guests today, but they will also draw a lucky single female fan to appear on the show. Food, accommodation, and fun will be provided for three days. Begging for good luck to descend on me.] [Bet, bet. Guess who the special guest of the last episode will be.] The popularity of the first day of the last episode soared. Now that the publicity was done, not only was Mother-in-Law Joy very popular in the country, but it was also very popular overseas. As a result, the popularity of the live broadcast was very high from the moment it started.. Chapter 246 - Chapter 246: The MO Family Is Here Chapter 246: The MO Family Is Here Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When MO Yujin appeared, the comments in the entire live-stream exploded [Its actually MO Yujin! My Qingyi goddess!] [The production team is too awesome. They invited MO Yujin over.] [Actually, everyone who likes MO Yujin should know why theyre so excited. MO Yujin has never been on a variety show before. She has rejected all the previous variety show invitations, let alone a variety show in this live broadcast form.] [Im curious about how much the production team spent to invite MO Yujin over this time?] [The MO Family is so rich. Sister MO doesnt lack this bit of money. They can casually walk the red carpet with luxurious brands. If I wear a pigeon egg ring on my hand, I have to start from human evolution to earn it.] [Who doesnt want to be Sister Mo l s daughter-in-law for three days? Its a dream.] At this moment, Min Hanrong was discussing with everyone who the special guest would be this time. Xu Muzhen suddenly covered her mouth and pointed in another direction with her other hand. Ahhhh, is that MO Yujin?! Xu Muzhens true reaction was her true reaction at this moment. Everyone looked over. Tao Jing had seen many of Min Hanrongs television dramas when she was young, so she naturally knew MO Yujin, an actress from the same era as her mother-in-law. They were all Qingyi, goddesses in many peoples hearts. However, her mother-in-law, Min Hanrong, had already retired, and MO Yujin was still filming. Xue Jinzhu did not know MO Yujin. Her hand under the table tugged at Li Xiwus clothes and asked in a low voice, Sister Li, is MO Yujin in the industry? Li Xiwu replied, Yes. Xue Jinzhu said, I just feel that she looks a little familiar, but I cant remember if Ive seen her television drama before. Li Xiwu wanted to say that after you officially entered the entertainment industry in the future, you would come into contact with many seniors in the industry, but she realized that it was a live broadcast now, so she did not say She only mentioned a few words to Xue Jinzhu. MO Yujin is quite famous in the industry. When she was young, her representative works were East Works and Fore Records. Just remember these two representative works. Xue Jinzhu was extremely touched. Thank you, Sister Li. Li Xiwu smiled. Min Hanrong was the first person to stand up. She extended her hands to MO Yujin, who also extended her hands when Min Hanrong came over. The two old friends who had not seen each other for a long time were hugging. Min Hanrong said, i l never expected you to be the special guest today. The smile on MO Yujins face was bright. You didnt expect this, did you? Surprised? Of course Im surprised. Youre really tight-lipped, Min Hanrong said as she pulled MO Yujin over to sit down. The seat was beside Min Hanrong. MO Yujin looked around at everyone with a gentle smile. When her gaze swept past Li Xiwu, only her gaze lingered on Li Xiwu for a few more seconds. Others did not notice, but Li Xiwu felt it. She smiled at MO Yujin. MO Yujin looked away and calmly introduced herself. Hello, everyone. 1 1 m MO Yujin. In this episode, Im a special guest. Please take care of me. Tang Xian said, Ms. MO, although Im not a loyal fan of yours, Ive seen every drama youve ever starred in. MO Yujin was unperturbed. Master Tang has actually watched every one of my works? Oh my god, Im so happy just thinking about it. Then, MO Yujins gaze landed on Han Qianye. She looked at each other and smiled. Were old acquaintances, Qianye. Han Qianye was also surprised to see that the special guest was MO Yujin. She would not be surprised by anyone, except MO Yujin. Han Qianye smiled back and looked sideways at Li Xiwu. Sensing Han Qianyes gaze, Li Xiwu maintained a smile on her lips and asked in a low voice, Whats wrong? Han Qianye pursed her lips. Do you know MO Yujin? Li Xiwu said frankly, Youve forgotten. Im in this circle. Han Qianye seemed to have realized something. Thats right. Xixi was the manager. She knew most of the people in the entertainment industry, so how could she not know MO Yujin? Xiang Lan also greeted MO Yujin. MO Yujin smiled and said, Ive saved Sister Lans morning exercise. I wake up early every day to do it. Xiang Lan said, Maintaining the habit of morning exercise is also an explanation for your body. Thats why I have to learn from you. I really admire you for keeping fit for so many years. MO Yujins tone was one of genuine admiration, not just words. MO Yujin was good at socializing. After arriving for a while, she immediately blended into the original atmosphere. When it was time for Mother-in-Law Joys official Weibo to announce the lucky audience, the popularity of the live-stream decreased a little. Everyone went to Weibo to see the results. Mother-in-Law Joys official Weibo: Congratulations @Little Wei User for obtaining the only spot for Mother-in-Law Joys last episode of loyal single female fans. Weibos only official lottery tool @Weibos lottery platform will supervise this lottery. The result is fair and effective. The moment they saw the announcement, countless people were disappointed. Although the chances of being chosen were very, very slim, who didnt want to be the lucky one in a million? [This Little Wei is too lucky. Im crazy envious.] [I wanted to click on it to congratulate Little Wei, but I realized that shes actually a beauty. Wow, I have reason to suspect that the draw this time was deliberately arranged.] [But the lottery this time is using the official lucky draw method on Weibo. Its still very fair.] [Although I didnt get chosen, Im still looking forward to it. I hope this episode will be especially unforgettable.] [Little Wei is so beautiful. It might not be just three days. Haha, Im super envious, right?] Meanwhile, at the production teams recording venue, the staff also announced the loyal female fan who had been drawn by the officials this time. When she heard the staff say the name Little Wei , Li Xiwu suddenly thought of Yu Hewei. They probably all had the word Wei. Li Xiwu didnt think it was such a coincidence, so she didnt think too much about it. The staff said that it would take some time to pick up this loyal fan. She would probably reach North Water Town before lunch. Everyone also expressed their anticipation. At this moment, everyone was chatting. The atmosphere was very good. MO Yujin probably had that socially awesome disorder. After chatting with Min Hanrong for a long time, she moved over and sat on Han Qianyes side. The position she chose was between Han Qianye and Li Xiwu. This way, she could also touch Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu moved the fruit in front of her towards MO Yujin. MO Yujin suddenly took her hand and said to her, Thank you. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Youre welcome. MO Yujin studied Li Xiwu carefully and said in a very gentle tone, I felt very close to you at first glance. I have a niece whos the same age as you.. Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: Pei Jingzhou: I Was Wrong Chapter 247: Pei Jingzhou: I Was Wrong Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At this moment, Li Xiwu had yet to think that MO Yujin was related to the MO family in the capital that Pei Jingzhou had mentioned. She knew MO Yujins status in the entertainment industry and the works she had acted in, but she did not know the identity behind MO Yujin. Her image of MO Yujin was the same as many peoples, a Qingyi goddess in the hearts of a generation. Just now, she heard MO Yujin say that she looked like her niece. The two of them were still about the same age. Li Xiwu thought of another popular star in the entertainment industry Hence, she asked, Is it MO Yan? MO Yujin smiled faintly. Yanyan is my niece on my familys side. Li Xiwu immediately reacted. Sorry, I made a mistake. Although she thought of MO Yan, she forgot that MO Yans surname was also Mo. She should have been MO Yujins niece. She had accidentally said the wrong thing. Its fine. MO Yujin smiled warmly. Yanyan is a little older than you. I wonder if you two have interacted in private before? Li Xiwu said, MO Yans development path is in the film company. The agencies in the television industry rarely interact with her. In other words, they had no contact. [I feel that Sister Li is so popular. MO Yujin held Sister Li l s hand as soon as she came up, as if she was holding her own daughter.] [MO Yan has been a movie star since she debuted. Li Xiwus artists all film television dramas, so its normal that she hasnt interacted with them.] [Hahaha, MO Yujin sat between Li Xiwu and Han Qianye as soon as she came up. Han Qianves expression almost made me die of laughter.] [Brainless is starting to get jealous.] The comments were very cheerful. The atmosphere was also very good. Everyone chatted happily. MO Yu Jin seemed to have an especially good impression of Li Xiwu. She had been getting close to Li Xiwu, and all kinds of topics revolved around her. Just from her words and actions, it was very obvious. Everyone present could tell, but no one said anything. Only Min Hanrong teased, Yujin, the daughter-in-law the production team has chosen for you is not here yet. You should experience how to be a good mother-in-law first. This is good too. It will be easier to adapt when she comes later. MO Yujin smiled. I just feel that the atmosphere with Xiwu is very comfortable. Min Hanrong echoed, Xiwus personality is publicly acknowledged to be good in our show, but Xiwu is married. To you, Yujin, you probably regret not meeting her sooner. MO Yujin raised her eyebrows without batting an eyelid. Yes, I regret not meeting her sooner. Han Qianye, who was sitting at the side and not saying anything, thought to herself, Ive recorded the fifth episode. This is the first time I find Min Hanrong so pleasing to the eye! For no other reason than Min Hanrongs words: Xiwu is married. If these words came out of Han Qianyes mouth and were on camera, she would inevitably be said to be ungenerous. However, it was really just right when it came out of Min Hanrongs mouth!! Then, MO Yujin restrained herself a little. There was still more than an hour before noon. During the free time, everyone did as they pleased. They arranged to walk around the hotel together and familiarize themselves with their surroundings as if it was their first time in Fu Town. Li Xiwu and Han Qianye walked at the back of the group. As Han Qianye had been to North Water Town before, she was quite familiar with some places here. She kept telling Li Xiwu that she had to take her somewhere fun. Li Xiwu listened intently. From time to time, she would respond with a sentence or two. Until her phone vibrated in her coat pocket. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Pei Jingzhou. Director Gao had said before that as long as she did not have to leave the camera to answer the call, she would try to answer the phone under the camera. That way, the atmosphere would be more natural. Han Qianye also saw the caller ID. Answer it. Li Xiwu nodded and swiped across the screen to answer the call. Pei Jingzhous voice came from the receiver. MO Yujin is a member of the MO family. It was probably because he told her this without any opening words. Li Xiwu was slow for a while before she realized what Pei Jingzhou meant. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you listening? Li Xiwu laughed. Next time you talk, Fourth Brother, say something else first. Othervvise, I wont be able to react. Pei Jingzhou said, Youre very smart. Li Xiwu was speechless. The way Genius spoke to you, you werent implicated, were you? Pei Jingzhous voice was mixed with a smile. Alright, I was wrong. When Li Xiwu heard Pei Jingzhou admit his mistake, her pursed lips quickly curled up. [Sister Lis smile is so sweetA [If I didnt hear wrongly, Li Xiwu called Fourth Brother just now, right? This call was from Li Xiwus husband!] [Its the last episode. Please, try to get the three husbands and the boyfriend to appear on screen again. Director, please look at my comment.] [I wonder what Fourth Brother said to make Sister Li so happy.] [Do you think Sister Li is the only one laughing on the screen? No, theres also me outside the screen.] Li Xiwu was still on the phone. Pei Jingzhou told her, The MO family wont look for you for no reason, so they will definitely appear on this show in the end. I asked Chen Xin to watch todays live broadcast. She really came. Li Xiwu wanted to ask why you didnt remind me last night. But under the live camera, Li Xiwu knew how to speak. Ill pay attention. Pei Jingzhou said, Shes your aunt. Li Xiwus lips tightened. Although she knew what was going on, Li Xiwu still needed to digest this fact when Pei Jingzhou suddenly told her so bluntly. Pei Jingzhous voice was very calm. Im guessing that MO Yujin came on the show to look for you on Old Madam Mos orders. Recently, the MO family should have been paying attention to this show. If you meet Old Madam MO in North Water Town, dont be too surprised. Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Im still not used to you telling me everything now. Pei Jingzhou said, Ive thought it through. Li Xiwu said, Huh? Pei Jingzhou said, Im the only person youre willing to trust now. If I still choose to hide it from you and pretend not to see it and let you face it in confusion. I wont be innocent if Im abandoned by you one day. Li Xiwus heart warmed. Thank you. Pei Jingzhou said, Were an old married couple, yet you still say thank you. Li Xiwu laughed. Yes, I understand. Han Qianye, who was walking at the side, had been looking at Li Xiwus expression from time to time since Li Xiwu picked up the phone. She did not know what Jingzhou said on the other end of the line, but Li Xiwus expression was very relaxed. The smile on her lips never left her face. Seeing that Li Xiwu was happy, Han Qianye was also in a good mood. She even praised Pei Jingzhou in her heart for making his wife happy! Seeing that the call had ended, the smile on Li Xiwus face deepened. Han Qianye asked with a smile, What are you talking about? Why are you so happy? Li Xiwu put away her phone. Fourth Brother said that hes watching the live broadcast. He asked me to smile more and maintain a good state. Han Qianye said, Thats it? Then you cant listen to him. Youll only smile when youre happy. Who said that you have to keep smiling at all times? Listen to me. Li Xiwu agreed with a faint smile. Okay.. Chapter 248 - Chapter 248: Little You, I Miss You Chapter 248: Little You, I Miss You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After learning from Pei Jingzhou about MO Yujins relationship with her, Li Xiwus mentality changed slightly when she faced MO Yujin again. Although she didnt have a complete memory now, if MO Yujin was her aunt, she was related to her by blood. Family Blood relations She had always thought that she was alone in this world. But now, her family was starting to appear Xiwu! A voice from the front snapped Li Xiwu back to her senses. She looked up at MO Yujin, who was walking towards her. Aunt..ie MO Yujin walked up to Li Xiwu. I heard that youre very familiar with North Water Town? Li Xiwu said, Not me. My mother. The word mother naturally came from Li Xiwus mouth, but MO Yujin, who was in front of her, revealed a strange expression. Although it was fleeting, Li Xiwu still saw it. MO Yujin smiled. You mean your mother-in-law, right? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. MO Yujin regained her original expression and turned to look at Han Qianye. Qianye, Xiwu said that youre very familiar with North Water Town. Han Qianye said indifferently, Not really. Ive only been here twice. Thats still a little more familiar than everyone else. MO Yujin went forward and held Han Qianyes arm affectionately. Tell me about the fun places. When the lucky fan comes, Ill take her to have fun. I have to leave behind good memories for the next three days. Han Qianye let MO Yujin hold her arm. Are you going in the afternoon? MO Yujin nodded. She only came at noon. She only has time in the afternoon. Or should we go together in the afternoon? Id better tell you some fun places. Han Qianye was afraid of too many people. She didnt like too many people following her and Xixi. Han Qianye recalled carefully. My deepest impression is the hot spring here in North Water Town, followed by the Kongming Lantern Show at night. Theres a church at the top of the mountain. Oh right, theres also a very famous Shadow Picture Theatre. Thats all I remember. With that, Han Qianye did not forget to remind MO Yujin, Memorize these places. Just use the GPS when you leave in the afternoon or drive the production teams car. MO Yujin noted it down seriously. Thank you. Im quite looking forward to that Kongming Lantern Show. I didnt know there was such a good place in the capital for so many years. In the past, when I had time, I would always go to other cities to play. Han Qianye said, I didnt find it myself. It was Rongrong who brought me here for the first time. It was nearing noon. The lucky loyal female fan who was selected was also picked up by the production teams car and brought to North Water Town. Everyone also returned to the large private room arranged by the hotel one after another. After they sat down, the dishes began to be served one after another. Like everyone else, Han Qianye stuck her head out and looked at the door. I heard from the staff outside that the lucky loyal fan we drew this time is a very beautiful girl. Tang Xian chimed in, I also heard the staff describe her as looking like a model from an anime. This is an affirmation of beauty. Min Hanrong said expectantly, She must be a beauty. It must be! It was Xu Muzhen who spoke. She said excitedly at the top of her voice, IA model face is the most standard face shape. Most of them appear in anime. Wow, this young lady must look very mature. Xu Muzhen was only guessing now. She would never have guessed correctly. [I keep feeling that this lucky fan is a predetermined candidate. Shes not a commoner at all.] [The lucky fan I imagined should be a slightly fat young lady. She looks simple but clean. She likes to smile and has a super good personality. This is a true ordinary person. Only then will the immersion be strong.] (200,000 reposts. Everyone wants this lucky opportunity. I dont think it can be faked.] [Lets look forward to it together!] Li Xiwu took a sip of water and waved it gently. She looked relaxed and expectant like everyone else. Especially since the other party was a loyal fan of Mother-in-Law Joy. She had watched the live broadcast from beginning to end and had a similar understanding of the show as the guests, so she must be very happy to get along. Just as she was thinking this, the waiter came in and gestured for the person outside the door to come in. Under everyones expectant gazes and the online viewing of the millions of netizens in the live-stream, the single loyal female fan who was lucky enough to be selected slowly walked into everyones sight. She had short hair and exquisite facial features. She really looked like a model face in an anime. She wasnt dressed cool. It was an older sisters style. She wore a long coat, leather boots, and a cold color combination. She had fair skin and fiery red lips, but her eye makeup was light. At first glance, she was a cold beauty, but on closer look, she was a very aggressive older sister. [Ahhhh, she looks the same as her own Weibo photo! Shes so beautiful!] [Damn, this ordinary fan is too beautiful.] [Nuwa, open the door. Dont stay silent. I know youre at home.] [Shes the same type of cold beauty as Sister Li, but she looks more mature than Sister Li!] The comments in the live-stream had gone crazy. Currently, there are more than eight million viewers online. It was still rising. Other than Han Qianye and Li Xiwu, the others were really happy and applauded warmly. Only Li Xiwu and Han Qianye did not clap from the bottom of their hearts. Han Qianye even wanted to get up and open her mouth Li Xiwu suddenly grabbed Han Qianyes wrist. Mom, do you want to go to the bathroom? Han Qianye realized that she had almost shouted Yu Heweis name. When the time came, the production team would not be able to smooth things over and would confirm the fact that the draw was predetermined. Han Qianye straightened her coat and sat down again. My clothes are hurting. Ill get up and tidy them up. Li Xiwu looked up at Yu Hewei, who was being warmly welcomed by everyone not far away. Recalling how she had heard the words Little Wei not long ago, she was surprised to think of Yu Hewei. In the end, it was really Yu Hewei! She was on this show too. Obviously, she was also here for her. The MO family only wanted to confirm her. What about Yu Hewei? What was her goal? Was it good or bad? Li Xiwu didnt know why Yu Hewei had come to the show for her. She had no impression of Yu Hewei at all now, and she didnt know about their previous relationship. She thought about how to deal with it next. Under the camera, Yu Hewei introduced herself openly. Hello, everyone. My name is Yu Hewei. Im a girl from Hai City. Tang Xian asked, Did you just come from Hai City Yu Hewei smiled faintly. Yes, Hai City is close to the capital. The plane will only take an hour and a half to arrive. After I found out that I was selected, I booked a flight and rushed over immediately. Weiwei, come sit here. Everyone could tell that MO Yujin seemed to be very satisfied with Yu Hewei. She pulled Yu Hewei over and sat down. This seat was just beside Li Xiwu. After Yu Hewei sat down, she turned to look at Li Xiwu. At this moment, Li Xiwu was also looking at her. Yu Hewei spoke first. Im a fan of yours. I like you a lot. Can I hug you? Under the live camera, Li Xiwu naturally wouldnt refuse. Sure. Thats great. Yu Hewei reached out and leaned forvvard, taking the initiative to hug Li Xiwu. The moment they hugged, Li Xiwu felt a sense of familiarity for the first time in a long time. Yu Heweis soft voice fell in her ears, only the two of them could hear it. She said, Little You, Ive missed you.. Chapter 249 - Chapter 249: I’m Here For Li Xiwu Chapter 249: Im Here For Li Xiwu Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The hug was brief. At such a close distance, only Li Xiwu could hear what Yu Hewei said. Under everyones gazes, Yu Hewei retracted her hand and said openly, I feel that youre so close. I mean, its as if weve known each other for a long time. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Perhaps weve met before. Tang Xian, who was sitting opposite her and watching this scene, slowly said, You two seems to be very fated. Weiwei is also Xiwus fan. Perhaps youve really met before, but you dont know each other. Han Qianye calmly changed the topic. Weiwei, what do you like to eat? The dishes are still being served. You can order some of your favorite dishes. Tang Xians words were suddenly interrupted by Han Qianye. Everyone was puzzled. Wasnt it a little inappropriate to interrupt suddenly? Yu Hewei said, Although Im from Hai City, I actually only settled in Hai City later. Im originally from the capital, so my taste hasnt changed much. Theres no need to order anymore. Han Qianye smiled and did not continue. [I like to watch beauty.] [Whats wrong with Han Qianye? I feel that shes not very welcoming of the new Yu Hewei? [Could it be that Han Qianye thinks that her daughter-in-laws limelight will be suppressed by Yu Hewei, so she doesnt have a good expression?] [I dont think its anything. Isnt everyone guessing a little too much?] Just a second ago, netizens were still spamming the pink comments because of the beauty. In the next second, because of Han Qianyes lukewarm attitude towards Yu Hewei, the netizens speculated about her. Fortunately, every group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law guests at the recording venue were not affected by anyone. Everyone ate very happily. After dinner, some of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to their rooms to rest, while others went to do other things. As it was the last episode, there was no need to forcefully enter the advertisement in the live broadcast state. This way, the happiest people were the netizens. They finally did not have to wait an hour to watch the live broadcast. Han Qianye said that she wanted to rest and left the live broadcast, leaving Li Xiwu behind. Min Hanrong also returned to the suite to rest. Tao Jing stayed behind. Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhens group stayed behind. There was no choice. Xu Muzhen was really too tired. She needed to catch up on her sleep to perk up. Tang Xian, Xue Jinzhu, and Yu Hewei stayed under the live broadcast camera. MO Yujin claimed to be a little tired and wanted to take a lunch break. I usually have the habit of taking a lunch break. Otherwise, I wont be in a good state in the afternoon. Everyone expressed their understanding. At this moment, Yu Hewei took the initiative to say, Then Ill follow Li Xiwu? Everyone looked at Li Xiwu. MO Yujin also turned to look at Li Xiwu. They seemed to be waiting for Li Xiwu to make her stand. Xue Jinzhu moved and was about to take that step when Li Xiwu looked up at Yu Hewei. Of course. Xue Jinzhu retracted her steps and pursed her lips. Thats great. Yu Hewei took two steps to Li Xiwus side and held her arm affectionately. I dont know how to describe this. Its probably because I like you so much that I cant help but want to be close to you. When a mature woman became soft and cute, the visual impact was too strong. The netizens comments: [Book! Book! Ill strive for the third season, Yu Hewei and MO Yujin, to be Mother-in-Law Joy again!] After that, the others returned to the hotel to rest. Not long after Han Qianye returned to the suite and lay down, she heard a knock on the door. She got up to open the door and was not surprised to see MO Yujin standing outside. She turned sideways and said, Come in. MO Yujin had interacted with Han Qianye a few times before and knew a little about Han Qianyes personality. She did not waste her breath at the door and walked in with a smile. As MO Yujin walked in, she asked, Why didnt you go out with her? Han Qianye crossed her arms and walked behind. You didnt go out either. MO Yujin said, Im a little tired. I need a lunch break. Han Qianye said, Me too. A straightforward person did not beat around the bush. The opening speech just now was a little boring. MO Yu Jin turned around and cut to the chase. Qianye, Im on this show this time because of Li Xiwu. Han Qianye said, I can tell. If it was the first and second episodes, Han Qianye would definitely not be able to tell. Because at that time, Han Qianye had never suspected Li Xiwus identity and had even targeted her unintentionally. After unintentionally discovering some truth in the previous episode, Han Qianye slowly understood. MO Yujin looked at Han Qianyes calm expression and took a deep breath. Ive never seen Xiwu in the industry before. Later on, I didnt pay much attention to this variety show until I suddenly received a call from my mother a while ago. Han Qianye felt that it was difficult to stand. She sat on the bed and lay down. Yes, continue. MO Yujin was speechless. Not many people could lie down and order her to continue while she spoke solemnly. The previous one was her mother, and now it was Han Qianye. Alright, the Pei family could not be provoked. MO Yujin sat down by the bed, very close to Han Qianye. My mother said that she saw a person who looked very similar to Little You in a very popular in-law variety show recently. Han Qianye asked directly, So Old Madam MO thinks that our Xiwu is your Little You? MO Yujin sighed. To be honest with you, I actually think the possibility of Xiwu being Little You is very small. Back then you know that Little You was in the central area of the explosion. Its impossible for her to survive. But my mother thinks that Xiwu is very similar to Little You, especially since you went to the Li Mansion last week. Han Qianye adjusted to a more comfortable position. So the MO Familys Old Madam wants you to come to the show to interact with Xiwu first? MO Yujin nodded. Yes. With that, Han Qianye suddenly stood up and asked with her hand on the bed, Then why is Yu Hewei here? Did you discuss coming together? Weiwei MO Yujin said truthfully, It was Weiwei who contacted me this time. Actually, it was also Weiwei who mentioned being on the show. Im sorry, Qianye. I didnt tell the truth just now. Han Qianye: MO Yujin continued, You should know that Weiwei is Little Yous best friend. Weiwei also realized that Xiwu, who looks extremely similar to Little You, is on this variety show. Therefore, she rushed to the Mo Family in the last episode. After discussing it together, she made a decision. Ill come on this variety show with her. Han Qianye couldnt help but laugh. MO Yujin, youre quite honest. I didnt even ask anything, but you told me everything. Silly girl. MO Yujin was unconvinced. Youre the silly one. By the way, dont think I dont know that the netizens gave you a nickname. Tsk, its so appropriate for you. Han Qianye: It was not a shame to be brainless. What was a shame was to be mocked by someone she knew with this nickname! At this moment, MO Yujin leaned in front of Han Qianye and said, Qianye, tell me, where did Xiwu come from? How did she meet your son? Why is there no news of their marriage? Chapter 250 - Chapter 250: It’s Over. I’m In Trouble. Chapter 250: Its Over. Im In Trouble. Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Han Qianye took a deep breath and sighed. She raised her hand and pushed MO Yujin away. She put down her foot and said, Although my son got married in a low profile manner, many people in the circle of aristocratic families still know about this. You dont know because you havent paid attention. MO Yujin said, Thats true. Han Qianye said, What do you mean by that? Although we didnt hold a grand wedding, shes still a wife who has officially registered her marriage. As for Xiwus background, cant your MO family find out? MO Yujin said, Orphan. Her surname is Li, and she has an ordinary educational background. Three years ago, she married your son in secret. Later, she entered the entertainment industry. Thats all. Han Qianye nodded. Yes, thats all. What do you mean thats all? She is an orphan, her surname is also Li, and they look so similar. Its obvious that theres something wrong with their identities. Little You experienced the tragedy of her parents death back then. I can understand losing her memory, but if youre unwilling to tell me some, Ill think of a way to get Li Xiwus DNA for testing. Han Qianye wanted to say, Bring me a copy too. Swallowing the words, she said instead, Get the DNA and test with yours? MO Yujin said, The accuracy of that DNA test might be a little low, but theres still my mother. The accuracy will be a little higher, right? As long as we can detect if its the same maternal relationship. Han Qianye raised her eyebrows. Then go ahead. Let me know when you have the results. MO Yujin was speechless. Han Qianye, are you serious? Han Qianye said in a very serious tone, How am I not serious? I support you very much! Go, I think highly of you. MO Yujin was speechless. Never mind. MO Yujin gave up discussing this matter with Han Qianye for the time being and only said, I hope that no matter what I do next, you wont try to stop me. I just want to confirm Li Xiwus identity. If shes really Little You I think my mothers life will be better in the future. Han Qianye was stunned. She remembered that Old Madam MO had suffered from a mental illness a few years ago because she had lost her daughter and granddaughter. It had been a long time since she recovered. In the past few years, she had been relying on soup and medicine to extend her life. She was getting older and older. It was said that she was not far from death. Han Qianye thought of the Old Madam the MO family and could not bear it in the end. You might think that Im hiding something from you, but Im actually really not sure. The only one who knows is Jingzhou. Xiwus life is very good now and will be better in the future. I wont stop you if you want to confirm Xiwus identity, but if you try to change anything after confirming her identity, dont blame me for falling out. In other words, if the MO family confirmed that Li Xiwus identity was Little You, who had lost her memory, and forcefully tried to recover Little Yous memories, it would hurt Li Xiwu. Han Qianye would never allow such a thing to happen. The reason why she had compromised just now was because she thought that Old Madam Mos health was deteriorating day by day. It was better to have a thought than leave with regrets. MO Yujin agreed. I understand. Meanwhile, Xiang Lan and Tang Xian chatted very well and walked in another direction. Xue Jinzhu, Tao Jing, and Yu Hewei followed Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu originally wanted to go to the Kite Cultural Center alone to experience cultural skills. When she heard Han Qianye mention it in the morning, she was tempted to experience it. Now that there were four of them, she asked for everyones opinion on where they wanted to go. Xue Jinzhu held Li Xiwus hand. Ill listen to Sister Li. Yu Hewei looked at Xue Jinzhu, who seemed to be occupying Li Xiwu, and looked away. Lets listen to Xiwus arrangements. Tao Jing had no objections. Just choose a place. Im not familiar with this place. Li Xiwu mentioned the Kite Cultural Center. No one retorted and went to this place. Li Xiwu led everyone there. The Kite Cultural Center was not big. Before she stepped in, she could feel a special attraction. There were many different kinds of shayan kites here, all of which were cultural skills. Tourists here could try their own DIY. In short, it was very interesting. [Sister Li always finds something interesting and meaningful.] [Its a shayan kite. Its an old handiwork. Theres also a meaning to collecting my own DIY.] [I look forward to everyones DIY skills.] [I was already calm, but now Im envious of the ordinary fan. Im envious that she can experience recording a show. Im envious that she can hold the hands of many people.] There were not many people at the Kite Cultural Center today. In the winter months, there were relatively few people out. Most of them were more afraid of the cold. On the way here, she met some passerby fans. They all consciously did not approach and secretly took a few photos at the side. The production team was also very cooperative after communicating with the passerby fans they met at the Kite Cultural Center. Li Xiwu found a seat and sat down. Yu Hewei sat down opposite her. Have you tried a DIY kite before? Li Xiwu shook her head. No, so I wanted to try. Yu Hewei said, You seem to be curious about a lot of things. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Im curious about novelties Ive never come into contact with. The rest is fine. Yu Hewei said, I have a very good friend. Shes like you. Li Xiwu: Yu Hewei took the paint the kite master had given her and adjusted it herself. And shes impressive. She knows and understands a lot. Shes good at many national languages. She likes to challenge her limits and yearn for freedom. Shes a woman like the wind, wanton and passionate. Li Xiwus lips quivered as she looked down at the paint in front of her. You two are very close. Yu Hewei looked up at Li Xiwu. Yes, very good. Li Xiwu picked up her paintbrush and dipped it into the paint. I have a very good friend too. Weve known each other for three years. Were closer than sisters. Clack. The paintbrush fell from Yu Heweis hand. The colorful paint on the tip of the brush scratched the kite paper, and the color was messed up. Li Xiwu looked at Yu Hewei. Whats wrong? Yu Hewei took a deep breath. I just suddenly remembered something very sad. Li Xiwu asked, What is it? Yu Hewei looked into Li Xiwus eyes. When your best friend told you she had another, better friend. Li Xiwu had indeed done it on purpose. Because she didnt want to hear Yu Hewei keep mentioning these things, she might be exposed on the show if she wasnt careful. Netizens were very sharp-eyed. So she followed Yu Heweis topic and mentioned Qiao Qiaos existence, trying to end the conversation. However, she did not expect this topic to make Yu Hewei so agitated. She seemed to be very sad.. At this moment, Yu Hewei suddenly stood up. I saw that Jinzhus shayan kite was very beautiful. Ill go take a look at her. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Okay. As soon as Yu Hewei left, Tao Jing sat down beside Li Xiwu. Xiwu, let me look at yours. Li Xiwu removed her hand and showed it to Tao Jing. On the other side, Xue Jinzhu looked at Yu Hewei, who had sat down opposite her, and asked, Why are you here? Yu Hewei said, To look at how beautiful your shayan kite is designed. Right? I think so too. Xue Jinzhu smiled sweetly. However, Xue Jinzhu would never have expected Yu Heweis next words to be like a bolt from the blue! Yu Hewei said, I went back to the capital a while ago and met you by chance. Xue Jinzhu had yet to realize anything. Is that so? What a coincidence. Yes, I think its quite a coincidence too, Yu Hewei continued. You were standing beside Xiwus husband. The smile on Xue Jinzhus face froze. Wh-what? Yu Hewei looked natural. I chased Mother-in-Law Joy from beginning to end and can confirm that that person is Xiwus husband. You were standing beside him at that time. What were you talking about? You looked like you were chatting happily. Xue Jinzhus expression almost cracked. She cursed in her heart: Damn it! Chapter 251 - Chapter 251: The Pei Family’s Wealthy Class Exposed Chapter 251: The Pei Familys Wealthy Class Exposed Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Yu Heweis short sentence almost made Xue Jinzhu have a heart attack! When did she stand beside President Pei? And look like she was chatting happily with him? This woman wanted to harm her! Xue Jinzhu was anxious. What nonsense are you spouting! Yu Hewei pretended to be surprised. Huh? Did I say something wrong? Xue Jinzhu lost her composure for a moment and blurted out some information. For the record, I havent seen President Pei for a while. Dont speak nonsense. Speaking of which, she had really seen him yesterday. However, she had only seen President Pei outside the car yesterday and slipped away. President Pei? Yu Hewei inadvertently caught the keyword. I only remember that theres a uniform name on the Internet for Xiwus husband. I think hes called Fourth Brother. It turns out that Fourth Brothers surname is Pei. Xue Jinzhu suddenly covered her mouth. [Hahaha, Yu Heweis gossipy appearance is real.] [A real ordinary person cant be so calm. If it were me, Id be even more gossipy than Yu Hewei. I feel like I want to ask everything. I want to know everything.] [Why does Miss Pig look like that?] [Didnt Old Master Cai call Han Qianye Mrs. Pei last time at the Li Mansion?] [Li Xiwus husbands surname is Pei. When my husband and I were watching the live broadcast, my husband even said that he didnt know if there were any executives with the surname Pei in R.E. However, the big shot behind R.E is surnamed Pei because it connects to the Pei Corporation.] [I posted on Weibo last time and speculated that Li Xiwus husband was a big shot of the Pei Corporation. In the end, it was deleted. I thought I had posted some sensitive comments.] [Damn! This is explosive! The first day ordinary fans are on the show, theyre already causing trouble.] At this moment, the comments were filled with all kinds of discussions. The live-stream was different from the comments on Weibo. At least a million people were posting comments. There was no way to control this situation unless the entire live-streams comments function was turned off. Obviously, that wasnt realistic. Under the camera, Yu Hewei continued to cause trouble. Jinzhu, Im so envious of you. Youve only been on the show for two episodes and youre already so close to Xiwu. She didnt get to the point. Every word was the point. Sister Li is very tolerant of me, Xue Jinzhu said without much confidence. However, it was too late when she realized that she had fallen into Yu Heweis trap. In her anxiety, she had accidentally said the word President Pei. She did not know if it would affect her too much. Xue Jinzhus expression was ugly. Why was she so useless? She was easily tricked. No wonder the first time she saw this Yu person today, she felt that the magnetic field was not compatible. She did have some tricks up her sleeve. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. Xue Jinzhu looked up and secretly glanced at Li Xiwu. Seeing that she was seriously applying paint to the kite, Xue Jinzhus depressed mood began to become uneasy. Sister Li should have heard it since it was so close This was under the live broadcast. Sister Li must be trying her best to maintain her composure Damn it, how did she fall for it!! Yu Hewei looked at Xue Jinzhus nervous expression and said with a faint smile, Jinzhu, your friendship with Xiwu should be very good in private, right? Xue Jinzhu looked at Yu Hewei resentfully. My kite paint is almost finished, but yours is only done a little. Dont keep talking and focus on your work. Yu Hewei picked up her brush again and dipped it in the paint. Its just a chat. It wont delay the paint. Xue Jinzhu said, It will delay me from putting on the paint. Im a person whos easily distracted. Once Im distracted, I wont be able to do anything well. Yu Hewei looked over and saw the shayan kite that was about to be completed in front of Xue Jinzhu. Yours is almost done. Xue Jinzhu really wanted to roll her eyes at Yu Hewei. Youre the only one with a mouth? Will you die if you say less? Im so angry! Xue Jinzhu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She was afraid that she would die before she could accumulate enough goodwill to pave the way for her debut. She thought angrily, but Yu Heweis topic did not end there. Yu Hewei added, I remember the last time I saw you and President Pei standing outside the Pei Corporation. Achoo! Im cold. Its cooled down today. Xue Jinzhu put down her pen and rubbed her hands, interrupting Yu Hewei. Yu Hewei considerately took off the scarf around her neck and handed it to Xue Jinzhu. Im not very cold. Ill let you wear this for a while. Xue Jinzhu was very tactful. Thank you, theres no need. [Damn! Its confirmed! Yu Hewei must have gone up to expose it!] [Damn, Sister Lis husband is actually that big shot of the Pei Corporation?] [I suspect that Yu Hewei isnt just exposing her identity. Is Miss Pig having an affair with Sister Lis husband?] [Help! I also thought of this. Moreover, Yu Hewei has mentioned the same topic twice!] [I originally thought that Xue Jinzhu and Li Xiwu must have built a good relationship in private. Its normal for them to eat together, but Yu Hewei said that she was with President Pei and did not mention if Li Xiwu was around!] [I accidentally ate a shocking melon.] [My family, Yu Hewei is an ordinary fan and not arranged by the production team. Her words are highly credible!] The style of the comments changed. Countless netizens began to guess if Xue Jinzhu had seduced Li Xiwus husband! The topic of whether Li Xiwus husband was that big shot of the Pei Corporation also filled the screen. Some quick-witted netizens had already posted the recording of the live-stream to Mother-in-Law Joys message, quickly causing a heated discussion. Thousands of comments rose quickly. The officials controlled the comments immediately. At first, the effect was minimal because the capitalists had yet to intervene. However, not long after, the controversial popularity quickly decreased. In the end, it did not cause any waves on Weibo. Only in Mother-in-Law Joys comments sections were some netizens speculating [I thought it would be trending, but theres no movement at all?] [Li Xiwus husbands true identity has never been exposed. Hes probably really a big shot!] [If its really that big shot of the Pei Corporation, Li Xiwu is married to a top wealthy family! ] [To be honest, Li Xiwu is not worthy of the Pei family in the capital.] [Li Xiwus education and family background are so ordinary. Marrying the Pei family is equivalent to marrying into a noble family. Shes really out of her league. In reality, a sparrow becomes a phoenix.] [Li Xiwu only has an ordinary education and family background, but shes very outstanding. To be able to marry into a high family and be recognized by them, she must have her own outstanding qualities.] [Why is everyone so biased? Isnt Tao Jing also married to the son of the richest man in Xiangjiang? Cant Li Xiwu marry into a rich family?] [The richest man in Xiang Jiang has to stand aside in front of a noble family like the Pei family. Moreover, Tao Jing is also from a scholarly family. Li Xiwus identity is worlds apart in front of the Pei family.. Whats there to argue about?] Chapter 252 - Chapter 252: True Goal Chapter 252: True Goal Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Online controversy is polarizing. However, there was nothing she could do. All the comments about Li Xiwus husbands true identity were suppressed. Xue Jinzhu hates Yu Hewei to death now. She still did not know that the Internet had already caused public opinion. If she knew, she would feel even more guilty. She was so stupid that she was actually led by Yu Hewei to spout nonsense. However, Yu Hewei did not stop there. She seemed about to say something else. On the other side, Li Xiwu suddenly put down her paintbrush and stood up. Im going to the bathroom. Tao Jing had been focused on drawing just now. Her mind automatically blocked out the sounds of the outside world. It was only when Li Xiwu got up and said that she wanted to go to the bathroom that she snapped out of her focused world. Tao Jing also put down her paintbrush. Do you want to go together? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. No need. Continue drawing. Tao Jing nodded. Okay. Only Li Xiwu left the camera for the time being. She went to the side and asked the bystanders how to get to the washroom. The bystanders pointed the way for her, and then the female staff of the show accompanied her. In the washroom, Li Xiwu took out her phone. The page showed a missed call from Pei Jingzhou. The reason why she came out alone was because she felt her phone vibrate. She also guessed that it was very likely Pei Jingzhou, so she did not take out her phone directly. When the vibration stopped, she stood up and said that she wanted to go to the washroom. Two or three minutes before the phone vibrated, Li Xiwu heard everything Yu Hewei said to guide Xue Jinzhu. She heard her clearly. Although from the moment she saw Yu Hewei today, she knew that Yu Hewei was here for her this time and planned to do something, Li Xiwu did not expect Yu Hewei to be unable to hold back so quickly. Li Xiwu took a deep breath and picked up her phone to call Pei Jingzhou back. When the call was picked up, Li Xiwu pressed the phone to her ear. Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou said, Ive already instructed them that Yu Hewei will be picked up soon. Li Xiwu asked calmly, Whats the reason for picking her up? Pei Jingzhou said, Personal reasons. If we do this, it will seem like were covering up. Li Xiwu lowered her voice. Shes already said those words. If we replace her now, there will only be more speculation. Pei Jingzhou comforted her. These will be taken care of. Dont worry. Li Xiwus mentality was very stable now. Fourth Brother. Yes, Pei Jingzhou replied. Pei Jingzhous voice on the other end of the line made Li Xiwu feel at ease. Before she could speak, Pei Jingzhou asked her what she meant. What do you think? Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Ill find a chance to talk to her. Stay out of this for now. Whether they could talk about it or not was another matter. However, Li Xiwu felt that there was still a chance of reconciling. After all, Yu Hewei had also said that the two of them had been very good friends in the past. Pei Jingzhou respected Li Xiwus decision, even though he wanted to pack Yu Hewei up and send her back to Hai City, restrict her freedom, and pay the price for her nonsense on this show. However, as long as Li Xiwu said no, Pei Jingzhou would stop immediately and listen to Li Xiwu. After ending the call, Li Xiwu opened Weibo and took a look. There were no bad public opinions. They should have been suppressed. Li Xiwu heaved a sigh of relief and walked out, preparing to return to the camera to continue the live broadcast. Unexpectedly, the moment she came out, she met Yu Hewei, who had been standing by the corridor of the washroom for an unknown period of time. Li Xiwu looked around and did not see the female staff member who had accompanied her just now. Only Yu Hewei stood there alone, a slender ladys cigarette between her fingers. When she was DIYing the kite inside just now, Yu Hewei took off her coat. Underneath was a thin black tight knitted sweater that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Yu Heweis figure was really good. Other than her 1.7 meters tall, her natural looks and personality were very outstanding. Seeing her come out, Yu Hewei smiled at her. Xiwu. Li Xiwu couldnt ignore it. She walked towards Yu Hewei. Why arent you going Yu Hewei raised her hand. There was a ladys cigarette between her fingers. Li Xiwu had seen it when she came out. Yu Hewei said, Im here for a cigarette. Im not going to the bathroom. With that, Yu Hewei took out a lighter. Before starting the fire, she asked Li Xiwu, Do you mind? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. No. With a click, the cigarette in Yu Heweis hand lit up, and wisps of smoke drifted away. When the smoke wafted to the tip of Li Xiwus nose, she subconsciously wanted to frown. She sensed something waving in front of her. She looked up and saw Yu Hewei reach out and fan the smoke away. Li Xiwu took half a step back. Its fine Pei Jingzhou usually smoked occasionally, but he basically did not smoke in front of her. Second-hand smoke was very harmful, so Li Xiwu rarely smelled smoke. Yu Hewei took down her cigarette and blew out the smoke. When it dissipated, she slowly approached Li Xiwu. Are you angry? Li Xiwu looked straight at Yu Hewei calmly. What do you mean? Yu Hewei curled her red lips. Wont you be angry if I spout nonsense on the show? Li Xiwu said, Yes. Yu Hewei said, Then Ill be careful next time. I wont say this again. Li Xiwus lips twitched. Youve achieved your goal, havent you? Goal? Yu Hewei smiled. You know what my goal is? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Huh? Yu tapped her cigarette with her fingertip, and the ash fell into the trash can beside her. She stood very straight, a little taller than Li Xiwu when she came face to face with her. In terms of aura, the two of them were about the same, so there was no aura of one suppressing the other. Yu Hewei smiled playfully. I dont think youll ever guess my goal. Li Xiwu felt the smell of smoke grow stronger. This time, she couldnt control it. She frowned. Were we really good friends in the past? Yu Hewei saw Li Xiwu frown and pressed the cigarette into the trash can. She said calmly, You dont have our memories, so no matter what I say, you might think I made it up to lie to you. Li Xiwu looked at the cigarette that was pressed with half of it left. The possibility of you lying to me is indeed high. Im sorry, I really cant trust you completely. Yu Hewei choked on a laugh. Yes, I understand. Li Xiwu had originally planned to wait a little longer and find an opportunity to chat with Yu Hewei after the live broadcast ended. Now that she had left the live broadcast at the same time, if it was too long, she did not know what the netizens would think. She said, Ill go back first. Without waiting for Yu Hewei to say anything, she turned and left. She had just taken two steps when Yu Hewei grabbed her wrist. Little Wuyou. It was the first time Li Xiwu had heard a new form of address. However, it was shouted out by Yu Hewei, so Li Xiwu was not too surprised. Li Xiwu turned around. Its more appropriate for you to call me by my current name, especially now that were recording a show. There are many scenes. You Before Li Xiwu could finish, Yu Hewei suddenly pulled her back Chapter 253 - Chapter 253: Exposed Chapter 253: Exposed Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This action was so sudden that Li Xiwu was pressed against the fence by Yu Hewei before she could be prepared. She leaned back a little. Her back hurt. Just as she was about to retaliate, Yu Hewei pressed her hand down and imprisoned her. This strength was much greater than Li Xiwu had imagined. Li Xiwu was a little flustered. In a verbal battle, she could win, but in a situation where there was a difference in strength, she could only think of a way to protect herself. At this moment, Li Xiwus mind was racing about how to defend herself and escape. It was best not to have too much of an argument. At this moment, Yu Hewei had already leaned over and grabbed her chin with her other hand. Theyre the ones who call you Little You. I like to call you Little Wuyou. Its a unique pet name. Li Xiwus eyebrows jumped. Pet pet what? Yu Heweis gaze traced Li Xiwus face inch by inch. Did you have plastic surgery? Pei Jingzhou was afraid that I would find you, so he deliberately plastic surgery for you, right? Li Xiwu held her breath, feeling that Yu Hewei was too close to her. She raised her empty hand and pressed it against Yu Heweis left shoulder. She tried her best to answer calmly, Appearance repair. If I have to say that it was plastic surgery, it can be considered. Appearance repair? Yu Hewei raised her eyebrows. Thinking of what might have happened, Yu Hewei frowned deeply. Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Yu Hewei, can you take your hand away? A few seconds later, Yu Hewei removed her hand, but she didnt get up. She placed one arm across Li Xiwus lower back and braced her other hand on the fence behind her. This method of imprisonment made Li Xiwu speechless. She looked up and met Yu Heweis eyes. She was looking at her intently. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and reminded her, Lets chat tonight. If one of us doesnt return to the live-stream, the netizens will make wild guesses. Yu Hewei didnt care. The netizens are probably speculating about us fighting. Li Xiwu looked at Yu Heweis gesture to restrain her. Whats the difference between this and the two of us fighting like this? Only then did Yu Hewei slowly let go of her and take two steps back. The moment Yu Hewei retreated, Li Xiwu felt her breathing become much more carefree. She was about to leave when Yu Hewei stopped her again. Little Wuyou. Li Xiwu closed her eyes hard. I just said that you should call me by my current name Before she could finish her reminder, Yu Hewei asked, Would you believe me if I said that I really saw Pei Jingzhou get together with that Xue guy? Li Xiwus forehead twitched slightly as she glanced sideways at Yu Hewei. Yu Heweis expression was extremely serious, and she had no intention of joking. Yu Hewei continued, That woman surnamed Xue pestered Pei Jingzhou to be intimate with him. Pei Jingzhou is unfaithful in marriage. Even if you know this, will you always always be with him? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. No matter what you say, we knew each other in the past and were very close, but I never had any memories of the past. In my memories, Pei Jingzhou is my husband. Compared to the three years of time we spent together with memories, do you think I would believe you, who isnt in my memories, or my husband? Yu Hewei clenched her fists at her sides. You loved him before you lost your memory, and after you lost your memory. Is he that good? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. I cant answer your question. This isnt something we should talk about. With that, Li Xiwu turned around and left in a hurry. As soon as she returned, Xue Jinzhu quickly went forward to show off the kite. Sister Li, youre finally back. How about I show you my own DIY Shayan Kite? Her face was filled with words: Praise me quickly [Li Xiwu and Yu Hewei have been away from the camera for so long. I thought they went to fight.] [Sister Li is finally back. Im happy.] [Yu Hewei is very awesome on the show this time. Im sure that Li Xiwus husband is that big shot of the Pei Corporation!] [Waiting for a trending topic.] [Haha, I have the dream material for tonight. Cinderella married into a top wealthy family and changed her fate! She even gained the love of the entire Internet and reached the peak of her life!] [This is because she was born with a good life. Her current excellence is actually because she married into a wealthy family.] Xue Jinzhu handed Li Xiwu the shayan kite that she had finished coloring. Li Xiwu took it and looked at it carefully. Its much better than the one I made. Xue Jinzhus eyes lit up. Really? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Of course. With that, she went to get her DIY kite. With this comparison, it was obvious that Xue Jinzhu had done a good job, especially since the paint was applied evenly and the overall completion was very exquisite. Xue Jinzhu smiled happily, but as she smiled, the smile on her lips faded. She saw Yu Hewei coming back. Yu Hewei walked over and took the kite from Li Xiwu. Its beautiful. As soon as she finished praising her, the kite fell from her hand, as if she had accidentally lost her grip. Xue Jinzhus eyes widened. Hey, hey, hey, the paint isnt completely dry yet.. Fortunately, it was only a false alarm. Yu Hewei pinched the kite again with a playful smile on her lips. I scared you. Xue Jinzhu was angry. You scared me to death. Beside her, Li Xiwu said, Dont tease Jinzhu. Yu Hewei smiled. Okay. [Whats going on? I feel like the style is back.] [The couple is in chaos.] [I cant help but laugh at the way Yu Hewei treats Xue Jinzhu. Im so happy! Im also happy to hear Li Xiwus words!] [Who said that the two of them went to fight? Theyre clearly on good terms.] [What did Yu Hewei mean by those words at first? Could it be my psychological effect? Why do I keep feeling that things arent that simple?] Meanwhile, after resting, Han Qianye also prepared to go out to look for Li Xiwu. She called MO Yujin and set off together. Coincidentally, Min Hanrong was also preparing to go out after lunch break. In the end, the three of them teamed up, leaving Xu Muzhen to continue sleeping in the hotel. Min Hanrong called Tao Jing and found out their current location. The Kite Cultural Center was not far from the hotel. It would only take two more minutes to walk. At this moment, Han Qianye took out her phone. Seeing this, Min Hanrong said, Qianye, Ive already asked for the address. You dont have to call Xiwu anymore. Its at the Kite Cultural Center. We can just ask for directions. Its not a call. Im going to take a call, Han Qianye said as she walked to the side to answer the call. Min Hanrong nodded. It was Lin Yourong who called Han Qianye. Han Qianye didnt know why Lin Yourong was calling at this time. She thought about how she had blocked her number last time. If she hung up this time, she was afraid that she would continue to call and affect her recording. Since she had nothing else to do now, she answered the phone. Lin Yourongs voice came from the other end of the line. Qianye, where are you? Han Qianye said, Were recording a show. Dont you know? Lin Yourong said, I know. I wanted to say that Im also here in Beishui Town. Im a guest of the previous episode. The audience should be very surprised to show up for this episode. Han Qianyes eyebrows twitched. She had a bad feeling. Were you invited by the show? Lin Yourong lied. Yes.. Chapter 254 - Chapter 254: Her Entire Body Was Soft, But Her Mouth Was Hard Chapter 254: Her Entire Body Was Soft, But Her Mouth Was Hard Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Han Qianye was speechless. Why did the production team invite Lin Yourong? Invite her to add to the mess? On the other end of the line, Lin Yourong was afraid that Han Qianye would hang up on her. She quickly said, Qianye, I saw that you werent on the live broadcast this afternoon. Are you still in the hotel? Han Qianye thought that since she was invited by the production team, even if she didnt tell Lin Yourong now, she would probably see her later, so she told Lin Yourong her current location. Yes, at xx Hotel. Lin Yourong was overjoyed. Then Ill be right there. Han Qianye nodded. Yeah. Meanwhile, Li Xiwu and the others came from the Kite Cultural Center. The four of them walked together, each holding a shayan kite of their own DIY. This time, Xue Jinzhus kite was the prettiest, followed by Tao Jing. Li Xiwus kite looked alright, but Yu Heweis only covered in a little paint. Because it was not completely completed, it was not very good-looking. But Yu Hewei didnt care much, because she didnt really want to fly a kite. The mountain platform in the clouds of North Water Town was suitable for flying kites. The location there was excellent. However, the distance was too far. Currently, the most convenient way to get to the mountain platform is by cable car. No one had any objections after some discussion, so they went to buy cable car tickets. The cable car here could seat four people, and the cameramen and staff had to arrange for another cable car that was similar to the one here. At the same time, they had to turn on the drone live broadcast. On the cable car, they could see the entirety of Beishui Town. Tao Jing had been taking photos since she got on the cable car. Li Xiwu thought that Xue Jinzhu was like Tao Jing. Other than taking photos, she would be the happiest. Unexpectedly, when the cable car had only taxied one-tenth of the entire ropeway, Xue Jinzhus face began to turn pale. The three of them were looking down at the scenery, except Xue Jinzhu. Not only was her face pale, but her hands were also nervously intertwined. Li Xiwu moved closer to Xue Jinzhu and asked worriedly, Are you afraid of heights Xue Jinzhu did not dare to look out of the glass at all. She pouted and nodded, whispering, A little. Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhus condition. She was more than a little afraid of heights. When we were discussing taking the cable car just now, why didnt you say that you were afraid of heights? We could have taken the car up too. Its just a little slower. Its nothing. Li Xiwu did not sound blaming, so Xue Jinzhu could naturally tell. She usually liked to cause trouble for others and never scrutinized herself seriously. However, after interacting with Li Xiwu, she became more and more serious. She could not always trouble others or cause trouble for others like before! Xue Jinzhu pointed at the shayan kite beside her. Actually, its because this is the first time Ive done something so smoothly and successfully, so I dont want to lose to my fear of heights, and therefore delay others. After a pause, Xue Jinzhu continued, My father is watching my live broadcast. I have to let my father see that not only can his daughter make a good kite, but she can also set it up. Shes amazing. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. Yes, impressive. In the next second, Xue Jinzhu hid in Li Xiwus arms and instantly became a crying monster. Sister Li, dont think that Im pretending on the surface. Im actually extremely afraid. Li Xiwu raised her hand to cover Xue Jinzhus eyes. I can tell. Beside her, Yu Hewei, who had taken a photo and turned around, looked at the scene of that Xue person pounce into Li Xiwus arms. An imperceptible coldness flashed across her eyes. She put away her phone. Xue Jinzhu. Xue Jinzhu did not dare to open her eyes. Whos calling me? Yu Hewei moved closer and deliberately raised her voice. Her voice softened. Xue Jinzhu slowly opened her eyes in the direction of the voice, but she did not dare to open them completely. The feeling of being suspended in the air made her very flustered. She narrowed her eyes and saw that it was Yu Hewei who was calling her. Xue Jinzhu simply closed her eyes. Why are you calling me? Yu Hewei chuckled. Are you really afraid of heights? Before Xue Jinzhu could answer, Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Yu Hewei, who was sitting on the other side. Shes a little afraid of heights. Yu Hewei raised her eyebrows and leaned forward slightly. Im also a little afraid of heights, so can I have the same treatment as Xue Jinzhu? Li Xiwu: [Sister Li is really troubled!] [Large-scale competition for favor!] [I feel that if Yu Heweis gender was changed, she would definitely be tame and cute.] [Sister Li thought: The last time I was speechless was last time.] [Not to mention Yu Hewei, I also want to go into Sister Lis arms.] At this moment, the comments were quite harmonious. Most of the public opinion that Li Xiwus background was not worthy of the Pei family was on Weibo. Although there were also people in the live-stream, the netizens who cared about this matter were not high. The comments were quickly drowned out. A few minutes later, the cable car reached the hilltop without incident. Xue Jinzhus legs were weak when she got out of the cable car. Li Xiwu and Tao Jing supported her on the left and right respectively. Otherwise, she would have knelt down. However, All-Mouthy King Xue Jinzhu was still trying to save face. I was acting just now because I wanted to lie in Sister Lis arms. In fact, I wasnt that afraid at all. Tao Jing looked at Xue Jinzhus leg seriously. Then why are your legs still trembling now that youre off the cable car? Li Xiwus lips curled into a smile. Youre soft all over, but your mouth is hard. Xue Jinzhu: She had lost all her face. Along the way, Xue Jinzhu had protected all the kites very well. They were not damaged at all when they got off the cable car. It was the same now. Because her legs were weak and she could not walk, Li Xiwu and Tao Jing had to support Xue Jinzhu. The task of holding the kites fell on Yu Hewei. There were not many people on the mountain platform. There were two children flying kites accompanied by adults. The two children seemed to be competing to see whose kite flew higher. The two of them chased each other. One of the children accidentally bumped into Yu Hewei as he ran over. The childs parents hurried forward to apologize. Im sorry, Im sorry. Yu Hewei said, Its okay. After the childs parents left with the child, Li Xiwu looked at Yu Hewei. Are you okay? Yu Heweis originally expressionless face curled into a smile because of Li Xiwus words. Are you concerned about me? Li Xiwu: Shouldnt she be concerned on camera? Does she have to be cold? Li Xiwu naturally couldnt say what she was thinking. Seeing that Yu Hewei was fine, she retracted her gaze. Its good that youre fine. Yu Hewei said, Very few people care about me, so Im a little surprised. Li Xiwu asked casually, Why? Yu Heweis voice was very soft. Maybe its because of my personality. [Sister Yu looked like she had a lot on her mind just now.] [Am I the only one who cares if the kite was damaged by that child?] [I feel that the scene just now was a little isolated. What does everyone think?] [Speaking of isolation, could it be that three people are going to help one person at the same time?] Chapter 255 - Chapter 255: What She Did! Chapter 255: What She Did! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The view from the mountain platform was wider than on the cable car. This place was obviously very suitable for kiting. Xue Jinzhu was very satisfied with this venue and quickly revived. Yu Hewei, give me the kite. Xue Jinzhu walked over and reached out. Yu Hewei raised her hand and handed the kite to Xue Jinzhu. Xue Jinzhu saw that the paint was different from what she had applied. This isnt mine. Yu Hewei gave the other three kites to Xue Jinzhu and asked her to find the one she had DIYed. She found it, but Xue Jinzhu felt that something was wrong when she held it in her hand. On a closer look, she realized that it was broken! Xue Jinzhus expression changed. Why did my kite break? Yu Hewei looked surprised. Huh? It broke? Xue Jinzhu looked up and glared at Yu Hewei. What did you do? Yu Heweis surprised expression became very innocent. I didnt do anything. You dont think I broke it, do you? At that moment, Xue Jinzhus heart was broken. She felt like she was about to explode! She had been carefully protecting the kites along the way. This was something she had rarely done seriously today, but it had broken just like that Xue Jinzhu was so angry that her face turned red. You Whats wrong? Li Xiwu asked as she approached. When Xue Jinzhu saw Li Xiwu coming over, she quickly said to her, Sister Li, Ive been protecting the kites well along the way. She just took it for a while. Now that its back in my hand, its broken. Li Xiwu looked down. Where did it break? Xue Jinzhu showed Li Xiwu the broken tail. Look, theres a section of the tail cut open. After watching Xue Jinzhus kite, Li Xiwu looked up at Yu Hewei, who had an indifferent expression. She did not say anything. At this moment, Tao Jing jogged over and asked, Whats wrong, whats wrong? Tao Jing saw that Xue Jinzhu was about to cry, and Li Xiwu did not look too good. When she looked at Yu Hewei again, she was expressionless. Finally, her gaze landed on the kite in Yu Heweis hand. It was unknown what she saw, but Tao Jing was surprised. Huh? Everyone looked at Tao Jing. Tao Jing reached over and took back the kite from Yu Hewei. After taking it back, Tao Jing took a closer look at the shayans tail. Aiya, the kite is broken. Hers wasnt the only one broken. The other two were broken, too. No, to be precise, they were all broken. Tao Jings heart ached for a few seconds before she quickly reacted. Did that child accidentally crush it when he bumped into you just now? Yu Hewei looked apologetic. Im sorry. Tao Jing quickly waved her hand. Dont blame yourself. You didnt do it on purpose. After saying this, Tao Jing felt that this was not right and quickly added, Of course, that child didnt do it on purpose. The kites tail shouldnt affect its flight, right? Why dont we try it first? Li Xiwu said, Apart from affecting the aesthetic a little and taking off a little, there shouldnt be much of a problem. Xue Jinzhu looked at the kite in her hand and then at Yu Hewei, who looked very innocent. She couldnt help but wonder if it was really damaged by that child. Then, the kites in everyones hands took off one after another. Just as Li Xiwu had said, other than affecting the aesthetic a little and taking off a little accidentally, they could still happily experience flying a kite. The pleasant afternoon ended in kite-flying. Xue Jinzhu had always been in a bad mood because of the kites damage. She did not have a good expression on her face towards Yu Hewei, and it was obvious. The netizens could tell. [Why has Xue Jinzhu been angry?] [Its clearly caused by a child. Is there a need to keep a straight face?] [Ordinary fans are really easy to bully. They were the ones who handed the kites to Yu Hewei. In the end, the kite accidentally broke, and its all Yu Heweis fault!!] [Its a little embarrassing!] [Xue Jinzhu put on a cold face for Yu Hewei to see. Tao Jing is a big silly girl who only wants to take pictures of the scenery. Li Xiwu should have adjusted the atmosphere at this time, but Li Xiwu seems to be isolating Yu Hewei.] [Just because Yu Hewei is a fans first time on a show?] [To be honest, its just that Li Xiwus good side has been magnified. Dont forget that Li Xiwu only became a phoenix after flying up the social ladder. With her previous family background, its impossible for her to have much self-restraint.] [Internet beautification + filter. Look, once ordinary fans go online, everyones shortcomings are exposed.] On the other side. Han Qianye gave up on meeting Li Xiwu because Lin Yourong was here. Mo Yujin naturally followed Han Qianye. If she did not go, Mo Yujin would not go either. She waited at the hotel. Seeing that no one was going, Min Hanrong sat down and chatted. Although there was no live broadcast camera, the recording state was maintained at all times. Min Hanrong felt like old friends with Lin Yourong at first sight. Probably because the two of them had the same pronunciation, they quickly chatted, from jewelry to some fragrance art salons to some private shows They were all talking about the standard of the wealthy. Han Qianye dozed off again. At this moment, Min Hanrong suddenly asked, Hows your daughter-in-law now? Han Qianye suddenly sobered up and looked at the two of them. Lin Yourong looked regretful. After my son divorced Gao Sisi, I actually cared about her quite a lot. After that, I sent people to send her supplements and necessities many times. In the end, I heard that she turned around and sold them. Shes fooling around with that unemployed man who doesnt want to improve. Sigh, sometimes, its quite a pity. Min Hanrong frowned when she heard that. Youre also kind-hearted. If it were anyone else, how could they care about her when they encountered such a troublesome matter? They would just avoid her. I was thinking that were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after all, Lin Yourong said so sincerely. Moreover, my personality is like this. No matter how others treat me, I will still treat her sincerely. Meeting is fate. I cherish every fate. Min Hanrong smiled and said, One cant even find a good mother-in-law like you. Lin Yourong was very tactful. Im not that good either. Min Hanrong pulled Lin Yourongs wrist. Youre really humble. Han Qianye wanted to laugh when she heard this. She pursed her lips and forced herself not to laugh. However, the further she went, the more she couldnt hold it in. Her cheeks were about to twitch as she burst out laughing. The distracted MO Yujin looked over. Lin Yourong and Min Hanrong also looked over. Han Qianye pursed her lips. I suddenly thought of something happy in the past. Lin Yourong asked, What did you think of? Han Qianye said with a serious expression, Thinking about the time when I was blind. As soon as she said this, the three people beside her looked at Han Qianye in surprise. Min Hanrong asked, Qianye, have you had an eye disease before? Chapter 256 - Chapter 256: Coax Her Chapter 256: Coax Her Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Han Qianye did not say anything at first. Until MO Yujin asked, Are you serious or joking? Han Qianye said, Of course Im serious. I was blind for a while, but Im fine now. Min Hanrong realized. What a joke. Han Qianye smiled but did not say anything. Lin Yourong kept feeling that Han Qianyes words were meant for her, but she was not sure if they were really meant for her. It sounded quite subtle, anywvay. Around five oclock, Tang Xian and Xiang Lan returned. Xiang Lan did not see Xu Muzhen. After asking, she found out that Xu Muzhen was still sleeping in the suite and rushed over to wake her up. Tang Xian and Xiang Lan had been live-streaming, and so had they when they returned. Now that everyone had entered the country again, Lin Yourongs appearance stunned the netizens [Am I seeing things? Is this person Lin Yourong from the first seasons Mother-in-Law Joy?] [Its Lin Yourong. I have a deep impression of this rich appearance.] [This last episodes surprises are really coming wave after wave.] [First, there were special guests, then there were ordinary fans. Now, even the mother-in-law of the previous season has appeared. Is the last episode prepared to blow up?] [The last episode is so lively.] It was a little after five-thirty when Li Xiwu and the others returned. It was neither early nor late. When Han Qianye saw Li Xiwu return, she immediately surrounded her like a bee seeing flowers. Tang Xian looked at Xue Jinzhus depressed expression and asked gently, Why didnt you have fun? Xue Jinzhu pouted. When she heard Tang Xians question, she had the urge to spit it out. She turned around and looked at Yu Hewei, who was acting as if nothing had happened, but she still obediently swallowed her words. Forget it! Xue Jinzhu said to Tang Xian, Im tired from playing all day. Tang Xian asked, You went to the Kite Cultural Center, right? Xue Jinzhu was surprised. How did you know? Its easy for me to know. Tang Xian pulled Xue Jinzhu over and sat down. When I wanted to look for you, I could have just asked the production team. I wanted to look for you, but when I found out that you went to the mountain platform and had to take the cable car, I thought about it and let it go. Xue Jinzhu sat down and said, The wind on the mountain platform is very suitable for flying a kite. Its just bad luck that the kite broke. Tang Xian looked at her. Are you unhappy about this? Not really. Xue Jinzhu did not tell the truth. She changed the topic and asked the new face, Who is she? Tang Xianjie said, Shes Lin Yourong, one of the mother-in-laws in Mother-in-Law Joys first season. Xue Jinzhu did not know much about Mother-in-Law Joy last season. She nodded and stopped paying attention. At this moment, Lin Yourong enthusiastically chatted with Li Xiwu. The wind on the mountain platform should be very strong, right? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Not really, its not very strong. Its suitable for flying a kite. Lin Yourong said, If I had known, we would have come too. Li Xiwu didnt know how long Lin Yourong planned to stay for this inexplicable appearance on the show, so she couldnt ask further. She only said, If you have time tomorrow, you can go too. Lin Yourong smiled faintly. Ill only stay for a day. Im afraid I wont be able to go tomorrow. So she will leave tomorrow. Li Xiwu added, Its okay if you cant go to the mountain platform. You can watch the Kongming Lantern Show tonight. On the way back, I heard that theres also a Kongming Lantern Show tonight. Really? Lin Yourong looked surprised. How lucky. The atmosphere was very lively. It was livelier than any previous episode. In the other corner. Gao Yueban and Yu Jing, who were sitting behind the monitor, looked at each other for a few seconds. Gao Yueban asked, Did you send Lin Yourong an invitation? Yu Jing raised his hand and pretended to be wronged. Why would I send an invitation to Lin Yourong! Gao Yueban pressed the tip of her tongue against her cheek, looking more or less depressed. Then why is Lin Yourong here? From the looks of it, we invited her. Yu Jing shook his head in disbelief. Thats strange. Why is she here? At this moment, other than Gao Yueban and Yu Jing, who knew that Lin Yourong was not invited this time, the other guests, including the staff, all thought that Lin Yourongs appearance was another arrangement of the production team. Gao Yueban felt a headache coming on. We know better than the audience what this Lin Yourong was like in the previous episode. Gao Sisi is really innocent. She rushed here for the last episode. Why do I feel that shes up to no good?! Although sometimes a womans intuition was very accurate, a mans intuition couldnt be much worse. Yu Jing rubbed his chin. Lets take a look first. Its best if shes just here to freeload on the last episode. If theres any problem, well ask her to leave as soon as possible. Gao Yueban nodded. Thats the only way. The last episode of the live broadcast was infinitely extended. It wouldnt end until nine p.m. This time could very well satisfy the netizens night view of the Kongming Lantern Show. The atmosphere of dinner was very lively. After dinner, everyone arranged to watch the Kongming Lantern Show together. The Kongming Lantern Show in Beishui Town was different from other places. It burned turpentine into hot air and rose into the sky. The Kongming Lanterns in Beishui Town were packaged by drones and could be changed into various Kongming Lantern Shows. Some would line up into a pot of wine. Some would arrange into clean and ugly faces. Others can be butterflies, bees, heart-shaped signs, and so on. Tourists can also spend money to choose shapes. At this moment, the Kongming Lanterns in the sky had already changed into many lantern shows. Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhu beside her, looking uninterested. She was probably still thinking about what had happened in the afternoon. This was almost a knot in her heart. However, she could only keep it in her heart, so the more she held it in, the more uncomfortable she felt. She looked depressed. Li Xiwu thought for a few seconds and went to the charge counter of the Kongming Lantern Show. She took out her phone and searched for the photo of Xue Jinzhu flying a kite that she had taken this afternoon. She found a photo of Xue Jinzhu holding a kite and showed it to her boss. Can you arrange it into a figure of this shayan kite in the picture? Its best if its the same color. The boss made an OK gesture. Thats easy. Li Xiwus eyes relaxed. Thats great. The fee was still a little expensive, but Li Xiwu didnt blink when she paid. Yu Hewei, who had followed her here, saw this and said, Youre quite good to her. Li Xiwu said, I cant let her stay so depressed. Yu Hewei licked her lips. I thought youd do the same to me. The moment that was said, Li Xiwu subconsciously looked at the camera. Fortunately, there were no live cameras here. All the cameras were over there. Li Xiwu took a deep breath. Lets go watch the Kongming Lantern Show. Yu Hewei looked at Li Xiwus back view and felt a little more depressed. If she had known, she would have torn the kite apart! After paying, she returned. Han Qianye asked her what she had gone to do. Li Xiwu said, Coax her. Han Qianye asked, Coax who? Just as she finished speaking, Xue Jinzhus pleasantly surprised voice came from the side Look at the sky! My kite! Its my kite! Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: Exposing The Truth on the Internet Chapter 257: Exposing The Truth on the Internet Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The kite in the sky made Xue Jinzhu pleasantly surprised and excited. She pointed at the sky with one hand and pulled the person beside her with the other. Look! Look! That lantern show in the skys the kite I made today! Its real! Its exactly the same! Han Qianye, who was being pulled by Xue Jinzhu, said faintly, Then do you think its possible that the kite in the sky was arranged according to the kite you made? Xue Jinzhu glanced sideways at Han Qianye. It cant be such a coincidence, right? Han Qianye raised her hand and gently pushed Xue Jinzhus head with her fingertips. What a coincidence. Xiwu paid for it for you. With that, Xue Jinzhu looked incredulous. Huh? What? Is is this true? Did Sister Li really arrange it? Han Qianye said angrily, Its fake. [Although Miss Pigs reaction is very real, the style is still very comical!] [Sister Li is too good.] [Sister Li is Cancer, right? She always gives silently, especially tonight. Im almost touched.] [There were even people who scolded Li Xiwu for her character in the afternoon. Those who scolded her are the inhumane ones.] [Is it also dirt now that were not born well? Then will these people who were born at the bottom of the hierarchy in reality not be able to live?] [Those people are just jealous. The more ordinary someone is, the easier it is to be jealous. On the other hand, those who were born in Rome feel that its only right to enjoy everything.] At this moment, the popularity of the live broadcast had already exceeded ten million. By seven or eight in the evening, most of the people had finished their work. In their free time after dinner, they would occasionally see the live broadcast on their WeChat Moments or the live broadcast on Weibo. They would sit or lie down and project the live broadcast onto the screen to watch slowly. At this moment, Xue Jinzhu happily moved in front of Li Xiwu and shouted, Sister Li Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Are you feeling better now? Yes, yes, yes. Xue Jinzhu nodded in embarrassment before saying, Its really a surprise. Thank you for preparing a surprise for me. Li Xiwu said, As long as youre happy. More than happy. Xue Jinzhu held Li Xiwus arm and swayed it intimately. Sister Li, I suspect that you bought a house in my heart. Otherwise, why would you figure out my mood? Li Xiwu looked down at Xue Jinzhus coquettish expression. I dont have to figure out your mood. Xue Jinzhu looked up in a daze. Huh? Li Xiwu smiled. Because your feelings are written all over your face. Xue Jinzhu: Although it was embarrassing, happiness and surprise had filled her heart. Yu Hewei, who was standing on the other side, watched this scene quietly. After an unknown period of time, MO Yujins voice called out to her from beside her, Weiwei. Yu Heweis expression instantly returned to normal. She glanced sideways and replied, Yes? This was the first time MO Yujin had recorded such a live variety show. Although she did not do much the entire day, she was still a little tired. Thinking of the purpose of this show, she suddenly realized that she couldnt just care about the purpose and maintain a superficial appearance, so she took the initiative to chat with Yu Hewei. MO Yujin asked, Did you have a good time today? Yu Hewei said, So-so. MO Yujin asked with concern, Did something unhappy happen? Yu Hewei smiled faintly. This is the first time Im on such a national live broadcast. Im not used to it. MO Yujin expressed her understanding. Its the same. Actually, Im not used to it either. Not to mention this kind of live variety show, she had never participated in many variety shows in the past. This time, she had wanted MO Yan to come. She had recorded several variety shows and had a good sense of variety. However, the old lady was afraid that she, MO Yan, would say something wrong on the show, so she decided to let her test her. On the other side. Lin Yourong, who was standing beside Han Qianye, looked up at the Kong Ming Lantern Show in the night sky. Qianye, look at this Kongming Lantern. Although its made of drones, its more interesting than burning turpentine. Han Qianye added, Not only will it be more interesting, but it will also be more environmentally friendly. In the past, Kongming Lanterns were all one-time use, but they could not be confirmed to be discovered immediately after landing. Its also easy to cause a fire. Lin Yourong nodded. I see. Han Qianye relaxed. Yes. Lin Yourong looked at Han Qianyes satisfied expression and quietly moved to the side until she was on Tang Xians side. She was four people away from Han Qianye. Taking advantage of the fact that everyones attention was on the Kongming Lantern Show, Lin Yourong reached into her coat pocket and touched her phone. Lin Huan, who was watching the live broadcast, saw her aunts action and knew that it was time to call her. Hence, Lin Huan picked up her phone and called Lin Yourong. Accompanied by beautiful and slow music, Lin Yourong took out her phone and picked up the call. Hello, Huannuan. On the other end of the line, Lin Yourong couldnt hear what Lin Huan said clearly, so she turned on the speakerphone. Huanhuan, have you had dinner? Lin Huans voice came from the speakerphone. Aunt, Ive already had dinner. What about you? Lin Yourong said, I ate too. Lin Huan chatted with Lin Yourong in a casual tone. Aunt, are you free tomorrow? Lin Yourong asked, Whats wrong? Is Huanhuan asking me out tomorrow? A friend I used to know arranged a tea party tomorrow afternoon, Lin Huan said. Aunt, do you want to come? Lin Yourong said, Aiyo, I wont go to your young tea party. Lin Huans tone suddenly became mysterious. I heard that theres gossip in the aristocratic circle this time. Lin Yourong raised her eyebrows curiously. Hehe, is that so? As the speaker was turned on, Lin Huans voice could be heard from the phone from two to three meters away. The netizens in the live-stream could also hear it, and it was very clear. Lin Huan imitated the gossipy tone Lin Yourong had taught her before she went out. Aunt, do you know that the gossip I heard this time is related to the Pei family in the capital? Lin Yourongs expression changed. Huanhuan, Im Lin Yourong deliberately said this nervously, but her tone was very slow. Lin Huan beat her to it and said, I havent heard much so far. I wont know the details until I go to the tea party tomorrow. However, I still know a little about it. Its said that President Peis first love is coming back. Lin Yourong was stunned. Huh? What do you mean? Lin Huan continued in a mysterious tone, Its the current head of the Pei family in the capital, Pei Jingzhou. I heard that his first love has returned. I heard from everyones gossip that it wont be long before Pei Jingzhou divorces his current wife and takes back his first love. President Peis current wife seems to be on that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show. It should be the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show you went on before. Shes quite popular on the variety show.. Chapter 258 - Chapter 258: It’s Not Fake, It’s All Real! Chapter 258: Its Not Fake, Its All Real! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations These words came out in a rush. At this moment, Lin Huan did not realize that her words were a rumor. Actually, she didnt know anything at first. Now, these words were all according to what her aunt had taught her. Lin Yourong pretended to turn off the speakerphone, but she seemed a little flustered when she took down her phone. She couldnt turn it off a few times. At this moment, Min Hanrong, Tang Xian, Yu Hewei, Xu Muzhen, and Xiang Lan were already looking at Lin Yourong. Lin Yourong quickly said to Lin Huan, Huanhuan, Im.. I also heard gossip that President Pei and his current wife are also married by agreement. I reckon that after that substitute finishes recording the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show, she will be prepared to pack her bags and leave. She will probably get a lot of money when the time comes. That woman is also willing to be a substitute for money. Lin Huan spoke for a long time in one breath. As she spoke, she watched the live broadcast on the tablet. Those peoples gazes were each more shocked than the other. At this moment, the comments exploded! [F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!?] [Help! F*ck! The person on the other end of Lin Yourongs line revealed something shocking!] [President Pei? The wife of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show? Isnt that Sister Li and Fourth Brother?] [Ive been a real couple for so long, but now youre telling me that the house has collapsed!!] [Shocking my worldview. Li Xiwus image has collapsed! She actually married into a wealthy family to be a substitute!] [I only know that the last episode must have been exciting, but I didnt expect this excitement to refer to homonyms.] [Li Xiwu and Han Qianye are going to part ways after recording the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show? F*ck, is my Brainless and Unhappy is fake?] [Heartbroken.] [Ah, no Is this true? Can you determine it just by listening to a phone call?] [How much fake news can there be in Lin Yourongs wealthy circle? It must be true!!] At this moment, the popularity of the live broadcast had already reached more than 15 million and was still rising. The comments were also in an explosive state. Without a doubt, the information that the woman on the phone had just revealed would definitely have a huge impact on the entire show! Lin Yourong finally found the speakerphone. She turned off the speakerphone and said, Huanhuan, Im watching the Kongming Lantern Show. Lets not talk about it anymore. Rest early and stop gossiping. Its all fake. How can it be fake! Lin Huan said firmly and asked curiously, Aunt, where did you watch the Kongming Lantern Show? Why didnt you call me? Lin Yourong said, North Water Town, stop talking. Rest early. Aunt, you didnt even call me when you went to North Water Town. Remember to bring me next time, Lin Huan said. Lin Yourong agreed first. Okay, okay, okay. Im hanging up. With that, Lin Yourong quickly hung up. Realizing that everyone was looking at her, Lin Yourong laughed dryly. This child likes to gossip. She only knows how to say nonsense. Its fake and cant be real. They all looked at each other. They were all shocked. Other than Han Qianye and Xue Jinzhu, who were at the side, everyone else heard it, including MO Yujin and Li Xiwu. Li Xiwus hands slowly tightened at her sides. She couldnt have any other expression on the camera. She maintained her calm side, as if she hadnt heard anything. At this moment, Yu Hewei touched a sore spot. Xiwu, could the person Auntie Lin was talking about on the phone just now be Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Yu Hewei. Although her eyes were calm, there was clearly a hint of warning in them. Yu Hewei smiled. Xiwu, you look a little tired. Do you want to go back and rest early? Li Xiwu took a deep breath to calm her emotions. Im fine. I dont have to go back and rest. Yu Hewei said, Im a little tired. Can you go back with me? Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Yu Hewei. Yu Hewei smiled faintly. Can you? She asked twice. Twice meant that it would be inappropriate for Li Xiwu to refuse again. In the end, as Yu Hewei had hoped, Li Xiwu accompanied her back to the hotel. Before leaving, Li Xiwu told Han Qianye, Ill go back first. Han Qianye quickly asked, Are you going back alone? Why dont I go with you? Li Xiwu turned sideways. Yu Hewei is going back to the hotel. Im with her. Turning around, Han Qianye met Yu Heweis smiling gaze. Yu Hewei said, Auntie Han, Im a little tired from walking all day, so Ill have to trouble Xiwu to accompany me back. The Kongming Lantern Show isnt over yet. Watch the Lantern Show for a while more. When Han Qianye looked at Yu Hewei, her expression was not too good, but it was not obvious. However, Yu Hewei could feel Han Qianyes dislike for her. Actually, everything had been fine before. It was probably because she had rashly gone on the show this time and offended Han Qianye, so Han Qianye could not stand her. However, Yu Hewei did not care about this. Yu Hewei moved to Li Xiwus side and naturally held her arm intimately. Xiwu, lets go back to the hotel. Li Xiwu was a little resistant to Yu Heweis approach, but it was not convenient to push her away now. A hard smile curved her lips. Lets go. It was almost nine oclock. The live broadcast would end in half an hour. At this moment, Yu Hewei and Li Xiwu left. The live broadcast camera would not follow them. Han Qianye still did not know anything. At this moment, MO Yujin walked over to Han Qianye and nudged her with her elbow. Han Qianye asked, Whats wrong? MO Yujin could not say it directly, and although the others were curious, they could not ask directly. Only a fool would ask directly. At this moment, Han Qianye also realized that everyones expressions were not right. It was as if something had happened, but she did not know what. Qianye! MO Yu Jin shouted. Han Qianye asked again, Whats wrong? MO Yujin raised her hand and stretched before rubbing the back of her neck. Im a little tired too, but Im directionally challenged and cant find my way back to the hotel. Why dont you accompany me? Han Qianye saw that MO Yujin had something to say, but it was not convenient for her to say it, so she nodded. Alright. Ahem! Another voice came. It was Lin Yourong. She coughed to attract everyones attention. At this moment, everyone was also looking at Lin Yourong. They heard her say, Ive had fun after staying for a day. It feels so intimate to return to this variety show. Its also very late. I just received a WeChat message from my son saying that hes coming to pick me up. Ill leave first. Min Hanrong tried to persuade her to stay. Arent you staying for another Lin Yourong smiled in embarrassment. I came back shamelessly. I have other things to do tomorrow. I have to go tonight. Min Hanrong could not force her to stay. Why dont I send you off? Although she said that she was sending her off, Min Hanrong actually wanted to gossip more.. Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: Pei Jingzhou Personally Took Action, Livestreamed on the Internet Chapter 259: Pei Jingzhou Personally Took Action, Livestreamed on the Internet Translator: I-lenyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Yourong naturally wouldnt refuse. The car was only two to three minutes away, but Min Hanrong only returned after a long time. [I guess Min Hanrong must have gone to gossip.] [Why do I feel that Lin Yourong came back deliberately to reveal this information?] [Tonights revelation shocked my worldview. I feel a little indigestion.] [Li Xiwu probably didnt expect the perfect persona that she had maintained for so long to completely collapse because of a substitute.] [Ridiculous.] [Help! I want to know who that first love is.] [The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they didnt violate the principles of this show. However, I didnt expect them to be real plastic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. When Li Xiwu and Han Qianye first appeared on the variety show, they obviously didnt know each other well. I finally understand the real reason.] [Why is everyone talking about Li Xiwu? But I think Li Xiwu is the victim. Shes a substitute. As soon as the first love returns, that man will abandon her!] [Im dying of laughter when I say that my heart aches for Li Xiwu. You wont be able to earn the money she can get after a divorce for several lifetimes. Do you feel sorry for her?] On the other side. Yu Hewei and Li Xiwu, who were walking back to the hotel together, did not speak much along the way as if they had just met. The walk was not very far. They could return to the hotel in seven or eight minutes. Yu Hewei asked Li Xiwu, Can you walk? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Why not? Yu Hewei said considerately, You should be a little tired after walking outside all day. Li Xiwu pried away Yu Heweis arm. Im not tired. Yu Hewei watched as Li Xiwu pried her hand away. The smile on her lips faded a little as she walked forward and stood beside Li Xiwu. You dont seem to like me very much. Li Xiwu looked forward, thinking about what had just happened. She replied to Yu Hewei, Why would I think that? Yu Hewei said, You dont have much patience with me. Li Xiwu said, Probably because were not that close. Yu Hewei sounded a little more anxious than before. We used to be best friends. Really. Best friends. Li Xiwu retracted her gaze and looked sideways at Yu Hewei. She looked a little excited because of what she had just said. She hesitated for a moment and said, You said it was in the past. I dont have my past memories. Theres no point in telling me now. Little Wuyou! My name is Li Xiwu. They both sounded dominant. A moment later, Yu Hewei was the first to show weakness. Dont you think that the call Lin Yourong answered was premeditated? At the mention of that call, Li Xiwus expression turned very ugly. At this moment, Yu Hewei held Li Xiwus wrist. You look like youre in a bad mood. Li Xiwu looked up in silence. Yu Hewei touched Li Xiwus face with her fingertips. Li Xiwu calmly avoided Yu Heweis touch. Yu Heweis fingertips paused as she carefully observed Li Xiwus expression. Even at this late hour, there will probably be a storm on the Internet. By tomorrow, it will probably be a huge wave. Li Xiwu looked Yu straight in the eye. Is that what you want to see? No. Yu Hewei said, I want to see you better than anyone. Li Xiwu said, Not necessarily. Yu Hewei smiled. Youre good at everything, except your taste in men. Li Xiwus lips twitched Why do you say that? Yu Hewei said, Pei Jingzhou is actually not that good. When you went overseas for a few years, if he really loved you, why didnt he give up everything and stay by your side willingly? Youre not that important to him. Li Xiwu said, Not everyone has to live for anyone. Everyone has their own life. Why should he give up everything in the country and stay by my side? Its actually stupid to risk everything for one person. Yu Hewei smiled and was about to say something. Li Xiwu interrupted, Whether hes good or not, Ill judge for myself. Its not your place to point it out. Yu Hewei choked and looked at Li Xiwu, who was cold and distant. He treated you as a substitute for four years. Li Xiwu said, You dont have to remind me of anything. After a pause, Li Xiwu asked, I want to know, did you work together this time? Yu Hewei smiled faintly. Dont misunderstand. Im me. I dont associate with anyone. Do you think I cant guess that you joined forces with that Gu guy last time?! Li Xiwu said in a low voice. Gu guy Yu Hewei remembered. Gu Lanshi. Thinking of the man she had easily played with, the smile on Yu Heweis lips deepened. He had impure motives for what happened last time. I stopped myself in time. We didnt keep in touch much after that. Li Xiwu turned sideways and kept walking. Yu Hewei followed slowly and the two of them returned to the hotel. Yu Hewei did not return to her suite. Instead, she followed Li Xiwu to the suite she and Han Qianye were staying in. At the door, Yu Hewei asked politely, Can I come in and sit? Li Xiwu said, If I say no, will you still 20 in? Yu Hewei said, No. Li Xiwu said calmly, Then go back and rest early. Yu Hewei pursed her lips and was silent for dozens of seconds. Then, she nodded. Alright, rest early too. I hope tonights matter wont affect your sleep too much. See you tomorrow. With that, Yu Hewei retreated, turned around, and left. She was very decisive. Li Xiwu closed the door and leaned against it to inhale. She was indeed a very strong-willed woman, but it was inevitable that her eyes would turn red from standing in the wind for too long. Difficulties always arise, and each one is more troublesome than the last. Li Xiwu took out her phone. Weibo had already begun to trend. She opened it and took a look. Just as she thought, the contents of Lin Yourongs call had been recorded and exposed online. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and sighed. She was a little frustrated. This trouble was even more troublesome than before. For a moment, she didnt know how to deal with it. Refute the rumors? Would the netizens believe her if she came to refute the rumors? Or, she could deal with Lin Yourongs rumor first.. In the end, Li Xiwu took out her phone and hesitated about calling Pei Jingzhou. When she was about to dial the number, she thought that he must be asleep at this time. While she was thinking, the phone in her hand buzzed She thought it was Pei Jingzhou calling. It was actually Xue Jinzhus number. Li Xiwu guessed that Xue Jinzhu also knew. She called to ask her about the situation. Li Xiwu adjusted her emotions and picked up. Jinzhu. Xue Jinzhus noisy voice came from the phone Sister Li! President Pei suddenly came to the show! That Lin Yourong did not manage to leave and was stopped by President Peis people.. Now, its being broadcast live on the Internet! Chapter 260 - Chapter 260: President Pei Is Very Powerful Chapter 260: President Pei Is Very Powerful Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu thought that Xue Jinzhu had called her because she was curious about Lin Yourongs call and wanted to ask her if it was true. Unexpectedly, Xue Jinzhu suddenly told her that Pei Jingzhou was here and even stopped Lin Yourong, who was about to leave. Pei Jingzhou wasnt planning to personally refute the rumors, right? Li Xiwu quickly asked, Is he at the Kongming Lantern Show? Xue Jinzhu quickly replied, Thats right, thats right. Theyre all still here. The live broadcast was supposed to end in ten minutes, but no one expected President Pei to come at this time! It was not appropriate for Li Xiwu to ask too much at this time. She just needed to know that they were still there. Ill be right there. With that, Li Xiwu ended the call with Xue Jinzhu, put away her phone, and went downstairs. She had walked back just now. Now that she was rushing back, she could only walk. She could take a taxi over, but the traffic lights on the road would delay the time. It was not as fast as her running back. Halfway there, Li Xiwu suddenly received a message from Pei Jingzhou At the same time, at the venue of the Kongming Lantern Show. Originally, because the live broadcast was about to end, its popularity had decreased to only 9 million. After Pei Jingzhou appeared in front of the camera, it quickly increased back to more than 15 million viewers online. It was almost 16 million. Director Gao had a feeling that tonight might be the first time he broke through the 20 million popularity threshold! [F*ck! I even turned off the live broadcast and went to Weibo to watch the show, but my little friend crazily called me and said that Li Xiwus husband was online!] [Whats going on? I havent even understood the situation.] [As soon as such a thing happened, Li Xiwus husband immediately went online! Hes going to domineeringly protect his wife!] [Why would he protect her wife? Hes good to Li Xiwu because Li Xiwu has a beautiful face.] [Lets watch the show!] [Speaking of which, will Li Xiwu appear?] [No one knows if Li Xiwu will appear, but Li Xiwus husband really has an aura. Hes the most eye-catching existence wherever he stands.] [As expected of Big Boss Pei! The first time I saw this man, I felt that his aura was definitely not just that of a company executive!!] Gao Yueban looked at the soaring online viewership. Not only was he not happy, but he also had a headache. I really have to give it to this Lin Yourong. She brought so much trouble to the show! Yu Jing had already calmed down. Dont panic. If President Pei is here, it means that our show can continue recording. If President Pei stops the show in a fit of anger, this month will be wasted! Hearing this, Gao Yuebans broken mentality was barely comforted. Why do you think Lin Yourong took it so hard and insisted on offending the Pei family? Gao Yueban looked a little frustrated. Yu Jing said, This is probably called, Theres a path to heaven, but you dont take it.Theres no door to hell, yet you want to take it. Gao Yueban agreed. Yes, yes, yes! Under the live broadcast camera, Pei Jingzhou just stood there quietly. The surrounding air seemed to be covered in a layer of cold frost. The Kongming Lantern Show, which was still performing in the night sky, looked out of place in the current atmosphere. Lin Yourong, who was intercepted, was extremely flustered. She reached out and pulled Han Qianyes sleeve. Qianye.. Han Qianye still did not know what was going on. She asked, What happened? Lin Yourong swallowed and said with a dry smile, Hanrong accompanied me there just now. I was about to get into the car when I was stopped. I I dont know what happened. Han Qianye looked up at Pei Jingzhou. This.. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and gestured slightly. Behind him, Chen Xin and another young man in a suit walked towards Lin Yourong with a document. When Xue Jinzhu saw Chen Xin, her pink heart was bubbling. She shouted in her heart, Brother- Brother- Brother- Brother- Brother- She controlled herself. She and her brother were both still at work, separately. She must not disturb him from his work. Chen Xin walked up to Lin Yourong without looking sideways. The lawyer beside him handed the document to Lin Yourong. Mrs. Zhou, please take a look. Lin Yourong was so flustered that she didnt dare to take it. What, what is this? Chen Xin was expressionless. A lawyers letter. Lin Yourong stuttered in fear. A-A-A lawyers letter? Chen Xin nodded and said politely, Mr. Pei applied for legal aid regarding Mrs. Zhous involvement in spreading rumors about Mr. and Mrs. Peis relationship. The moment that was said, everyone present could not help but sigh. Min Hanrong thought about how she had tried to get close to Lin Yourong just now and was afraid that she would suffer too. She prayed silently in her heart. Lin Yourongs face instantly turned pale. This-this has nothing to do with me. My niece only heard a few words from someone else and told me about it. She didnt mean it The lawyer said stiffly, Mrs. Zhou, do I need to popularize legal knowledge for Before Lin Yourong could speak, the lawyer said, If the situation is serious, it can constitute defamation. Lin Yourong stabilized her nervous mood and said stubbornly, How am I spreading rumors! The lawyer: Mrs. Zhou, according to article 246 of the Criminal Code, if the situation is serious for the crime of defamation or other methods to publicly insult others or fabricate facts to slander others, you will be sentenced to not more than three years of fixed-term imprisonment, criminal detention, control, or deprivation of political rights. [F*ck! For real!] [Boss Pei is so domineering!] [Lin Yourong, who asked you to spread rumors? Sister Li and Fourth Brother are clearly very close. She must have been sued.] [Am I the only one whos shocked? I didnt expect Li Xiwus husbands house to really be the Pei family in the capital!] [Everyone else is shocked that its the Pei family in the capital. Only Im shocked that President Pei is so handsome that he doesnt look like a real person! Ive always thought that the current head of the Pei family in the capital is a short uncle. Im sorry, President Pei. Youre so handsome that youve become my dream material tonight.] [Boss Pei is domineering and protective of his wife. I love him.] At this moment, Lin Yourong, who was originally pretending to be calm, began to feel guilty in the next second. How could she have expected that this matter with Huanhuan today would alarm Pei Jingzhou to come personally? Wasnt she just a substitute? If even Han Qianye could not stand a substitute, why would Pei Jingzhou care? But now, the lawyers letter was really in front of her. And it was under the live broadcast of the entire Internet. If her husband found out that what she had done this time had actually alarmed Pei Jingzhou, it would be over! She couldnt admit it! Right! She refused to admit it! Lin Yourong instantly adjusted her expression and quickly calmed her tone. You said that I was spreading rumors, then Ill say that you were spreading rumors. Thats the gossip my niece heard, not the gossip we spread. How can you blame it on me? At this point, Lin Yourong raised her aura. I quickly stopped it at that time. Everyone can testify for me. This has nothing to do with me. Lin Yourong saw Pei Jingzhous cold expression and was shocked. Then, she gathered her courage and continued, I didnt know about this at all. My Huanhuan was just hearing rumors and mentioned it in front of me. In our womens circle, its normal to gossip occasionally. Its just that Huanhuan didnt know that I was on the show at that time and under the live camera. Can you blame us? There was a good reason for this. Anyone who heard this would think that it was true.. It probably had nothing to do with Lin Yourong? Chapter 261 - Chapter 261: Plot Twist! She’s Finished! Chapter 261: Plot Twist! Shes Finished! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The trend of netizens comments gradually changed [Theres all kinds of gossip in the wealthy circle. I dont think it has anything to do with Lin Yourong, right?] [He handed over a lawyers letter the moment he came up. Its indeed the style of a capitalist!] [Why do I feel that Lin Yourong could have hung up and stopped her at that time? Why did she have to wait for her niece to finish saying those words? Theres something wrong with this detail.] [Perhaps Lin Yourong didnt spread rumors, but she did let this matter be exposed in front of the entire Internet. She should bear this responsibility.] [Its also a live broadcast now. Just make it clear. I dont think theres a need to mobilize so many people. Peace makes money.] There were also many neutral netizens. After all, everyone had eyes and ears. Everyone had seen what happened in the live-stream. Some netizens were also very determined not to follow the rhythm of others. At this moment, Han Qianye had already figured out the situation from MO Yujin. She was simply furious. When she heard that Lin Yourong was still quibbling, she was furious. She walked forward aggressively and pointed at Lin Yourongs nose. Lin Yourong, are you crazy? What do you want to do? Lin Yourong was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. Qianye, why are you still scolding me? Han Qianye said, Im scolding you. Youre spouting nonsense. Lin Yourong was about to retort, but when she thought that doing so would not achieve the effect, she immediately lowered her attitude. Qianye, this matter is indeed my negligence. Ive heard you mention it before, but I didnt take it seriously at that time. I didnt expect it to suddenly spread in the circle of aristocratic families. Coincidentally, our Huanhuan heard it and said a few words to me. At that time, I was careless and didnt hang up quickly. Im really sorry. These words were filled with sincerity. Her tone was also very sincere and apologetic. Not a penny less. Most importantly, there seemed to be something else revealed in these words.. However, these words were even more infuriating to Han Qianye. Lin Yourong! Shut up! [Brainless is getting anxious!] [I think theres no need for her to be so aggressive since Lin Yourong admitted her mistake.] [Is this considered bullying?] [Lin Yourongs Ive heard you mention it before, but I didnt take it seriously is too much information!] [To put it bluntly, its true. Because she had to record a show, Li Xiwus husband personally rushed over to refute the rumors. He even gave a lawyers letter as soon as he came. Im dying of laughter.] [Although the Pei family in the capital has a powerful background, their favorability plummeted when they threatened others in such a live broadcast!] At this moment, Xue Jinzhu walked to Han Qianyes side and asked Lin Yourong faintly, Auntie, may I ask where you learn your etiquette, righteousness and shame? Lin Yourong was not familiar with Xue Jinzhu and did not want to talk to her. Xue Jinzhu could tell that Lin Yourong clearly didnt want to talk to her, so she insisted on saying, Auntie, cant you hear me? If you cant hear me, I suggest you quickly shake your head and hear if its the sound of the sea! Lin Yourongs face turned green. Have you no manners? Why are you talking like that? Xue Jinzhu pouted aggrievedly. What did I say? Oh, so you can hear me? Then why did you ignore me just now? It means that you chose to pretend to be deaf. [Ive quite liked Miss Piggy recently, but Ive lost my good impression of her tonight.] [Xue Jinzhu, dont be a busybody.] [Xue Jinzhus actions are too shameless. No matter what, Lin Yourong is an elder, right? How can she speak to an elder like this?] [No wonder Tang Xian doesnt like her very much. I suddenly understood.] Lin Yourong, who was said to be pretending to be deaf, felt angry. However, Lin Yourong still quickly suppressed her anger and said to Han Qianye, Qianye, I dont know how to explain it. What do you think will satisfy you? I can cooperate. Han Qianye sneered. No need. Lin Yourong felt smug. What she had just said was very beneficial to her. As long as Han Qianye refused to let go of her, the Pei familys reputation would be at a disadvantage. This did not seem to be of much use and the Pei familys power could easily diffuse it. However, this way, Lin Yourong could remove herself. This matter had nothing to do with her. Her backup plan was still very stable. Because the Pei family would not do anything else for their pride. Lin Yourong thought that her plan was very good. However, she did not know that she had planned too early! Mrs. Zhou! Then Li Xiwus voice came from nearby. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Li Xiwu stood there. The jacket wrapped around her slender body, and the night wind blew gently, blowing her nose red. Her almond-shaped eyes were especially bright in the night. Her hair was messy, and her face was especially beautiful. [I thought Li Xiwu wouldnt appear!] [Li Xiwu is back. Are the couple going to be aggressive together next?] [I believe in Sister Li and Fourth Brothers relationship. A substitute doesnt exist at all.] [I dont like Lin Yourongs appearance. Wait for the plot twist!] Many netizens were teasing. There were also many netizens waiting for a plot twist. Li Xiwu slowly walked to Pei Jingzhous side. Because of Li Xiwus arrival, Pei Jingzhous cold face softened. Youre here. Li Xiwu looked up at Pei Jingzhou. Mm. A few minutes ago, on the way here, Li Xiwu received Pei Jingzhous message and knew about his arrangements for tonight. This time, Pei Jingzhou did not choose to deal with the Zhou family in his usual way. Instead, he chose another legal way to resolve this matter. If he resolved it in the usual way, this matter would eventually leave an imprint on the Internet. The memories of the Internet could be deleted, but human memories would not. It would all be easier if they chose the legal way to resolve the matter. Lin Yourong looked at Li Xiwu, who had returned, and did not take it too seriously. She thought to herself, So what if Li Xiwu returned? In any case, she could just deny this matter. Just as she was thinking this, Li Xiwu walked up to her. Han Qianye shouted, Xixi Li Xiwu gave Han Qianye a reassuring look and turned to Lin Yourong. Mrs. Zhou, the contents of your call with your niece were accidentally exposed on the Internet. This matter involves my relationship with my husband. I know that explanation alone is not enough. Lin Yourong was extremely smug in her heart, but she said tactfully, Yes, this matter still needs to be clarified Ill cooperate. Since Mrs. Zhou will cooperate, thats even better. Li Xiwu turned to Chen Xin and said, Assistant Chen, please ask Miss Lin Huan. Shes the one who caused this misunderstanding. Let her clarify. Lin Yourong reminded her, Huanhuan is at home. Im afraid she cant come now. At this moment, Lin Yourong was still thinking that she had to quickly tell Lin Huan when she got back. She had to keep her mouth shut and definitely not reveal that she was the one who instigated these words! Li Xiwu asked, Really? Lin Yourong said with certainty, Of course. Why dont we do it tomorrow? Isnt there a live broadcast tomorrow? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. But I invited Miss Lin Huan here. Shes in the car. Lin Yourongs expression changed. What? You, you, you brought Huanhuan here? She was invited, Li Xiwu said. Since were going to clarify, we cant delay it. Miss Lin Huan must be very willing to cooperate. Lin Yourong had a bad feeling.. It was over Chapter 262 - Chapter 262: Restore the Truth Chapter 262: Restore the Truth Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Yourong probably did not expect Li Xiwu to bring Lin Huan here in such a short period of time. She would never have expected that after Lin Huan called and said those deliberate words during the live broadcast, Pei Jingzhou would immediately get someone to find Lin Huan and personally bring her to the live broadcast! [Damn! Why is it getting more and more exciting! Even television dramas arent this exciting!] [Fourth Brother is already here personally. How can he let that Lin Yourong continue to spread rumors?] [Those who sympathize with Lin Yourong, other than not having eyes, dont you have ears? This time, Lin Yourong clearly put her on speakerphone so that everyone can hear her conversation with her niece!] [I also want to say that why would anyone think that Lin Yourong is innocent?] [I suddenly remember Mother-in-law Joy of the first season. I keep feeling that Lin Yourongs interaction with her daughter-in-law on the show was guided by Lin Yourong.] [After the recording ended, there were a lot of people who scolded Gao Sisi. Now that I think about it, there must be something fishy] Under everyones gazes, Lin Huan followed Chen Xin with a bitter expression and was walking over. When Lin Huan approached, she saw Lin Yourong in the crowd and immediately shouted, Aunt! Lin Yourong quickly walked forward. Huanhuan, why are you here? Lin Huan said nothing. Along the way, Lin Huan was scared to death, especially when she was perfectly fine at home. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, scaring her badly. Then she was brought here. Other than knocking on the door, those people were very gentlemanly to her. They did not intimidate or threaten her, but the more they did so, the more afraid she became because she also realized that she seemed to have gotten into trouble.. Lin Huan looked at the concern and nervousness in her aunts eyes and said nervously, Yes, Mr. Pei sent someone to pick me up. Lin Yourongs heart tightened. At this moment, Li Xiwu slowly said, Miss Lin. Lin Huan looked at Li Xiwu, who was calling her. The two of them had already met just now. The two of them had come together, but Li Xiwu had appeared first. She waited in the car. The two of them had already talked about what they needed to talk about. She wasnt completely honest, and Li Xiwu hadnt threatened her with the truth, or done anything to her. She had always respected her. Li Xiwu could tell that Lin Huan was nervous. Miss Lin, I hope you can explain clearly in front of everyone and on camera what you said to Mrs. Zhou on the phone. Lin Huan swallowed nervously. I.. Lin Yourong suddenly said, Miss Li, no matter what, you cant be aggressive, right?! This sudden accusation stunned everyone present. Even Li Xiwu was stunned. She glanced sideways at Lin Yourong, who looked a little angry. Mrs. Zhou, what do you mean? Lin Yourong took the opportunity to say, Miss Li, I caused this misunderstanding. Ill definitely visit you early tomorrow to apologize. Is that okay? Huanhuan is timid. There are many people here. Im afraid Ill scare her. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Mrs. Zhou, we invited Miss Lin here to clarify this misunderstanding. Why wait until tomorrow? Lin Yourong panicked. I think.. Li Xiwu interrupted Lin Yourong. Theres no need for Mrs. Zhou to think so. Its enough for everyone to know the truth. Besides Li Xiwu looked at Lin Huan, who was a little nervous but not frightened. Besides, since Miss Lin is here, she naturally wont be as easily frightened as Mrs. Zhou said. Lin Yourong wanted to stop her. Pei Jingzhou, who was standing quietly at the side, said, Mrs. Zhou! When Lin Yourong heard Pei Jingzhous voice, her heart skipped a beat. This time, it was Pei Jingzhou who spoke. She did not dare to refute and said with a dry smile, I just feel sorry for my niece. Pei Jingzhous lips curled up. Its the same for me, my heart aches for my wife, so if we can clarify this matter as soon as possible, we should clarify it as soon as possible. Why are you hemming and hawing? Pei Jingzhou was a reasonable person now. He did not show the dictatorial style of a capitalist at all. Especially since he chose to clarify in public and not settle it in private, it was enough to stop many people from nitpicking. Li Xiwu retreated a little and left the main position of the camera to Lin Huan. Miss Lin, please explain what you said on the phone clearly. Whose mouth did you hear it from? It concerns my husbands and my reputation. I hope you can tell me the truth. Everyones gaze landed on Lin Huan. There were too many gazes, making Lin Huan feel too pressured and nervous. [That Miss Lin, hurry up and say it. Im so anxious!] [This Miss Lin must know something.] [That Lin Yourong looks guilty. She must be up to something.] [This is the magnanimity of a top wealthy family. How is she being aggressive? Shes just asking the rumormonger to restore the truth.] [Fourth Brother and Sister Li have always resolved things harmoniously in public. You have to know that this is the Pei family in the capital. This way of settling things can be said to be very dignified.] Yu Hewei, who was watching this scene from the side, smiled. What a show. It was just that she was not involved. If she had known that Lin Yourong would do this, she would have participated. It would definitely have been more exciting. At this moment, in front of everyone, Lin Huan faced Li Xiwu and said officially, Im sorry, Miss Li. Li Xiwu said nothing. Lin Huan decided to take responsibility for everything. I didnt hear these words from anyone else, and no one in the aristocratic circle spread them. I-I was too jealous of you, so I said these words. At that time, I didnt know that Aunt was under the live broadcast camera, so I didnt control my mouth for a moment. Im willing to take responsibility for letting these words affect Miss Li and Mr. Pei. Li Xiwu said calmly, Is that so? Lin Huan nodded. It is. Its also my personal reason. I shouldnt be jealous of you. Its my fault alone. It has nothing to do with anyone. Lin Yourong, who had been very nervous at the side, heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Lin Huans words and removed her. Fortunately, she had not doted on her niece for nothing. She thought that she would give herself up, but she did not expect her to take all the responsibility! How nice! Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou and said, What do you think, Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhous voice was cold. Since youve clarified, lets forget about this matter! Li Xiwus eyelashes curved. Okay. Lin Huan was stunned when she heard that it was over. She was prepared to take responsibility for Mr. Peis anger and all of this, but in the end, Mr. Pei and Miss Li let it go just like that? Did she hear wrongly? Not only Lin Huan, but Lin Yourong was also very surprised.. Chapter 263 - Chapter 263: They’re a Real Couple. Don’t Even Think About Being a Mistress Chapter 263: Theyre a Real Couple. Dont Even Think About Being a Mistress Translator: I-lenyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She had already thought of how to plead for Huanhuan, but Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu had no intention of pursuing the matter. Pei Jingzhou gestured to the lawyer. Since they admitted this matter and sincerely apologized, take back the lawyers letter and dont pursue the matter. The lawyer did as he was told. Okay, Mr. Pei. Soon, the lawyer put away the lawyers letter in public and retreated to stand behind Chen Xin. It was as if the matter had been resolved and he did not have to participate in anything from now on! Han Qianye was still very unhappy. He was letting them off just like that? Or did her son have other plans and was prepared to deal with the Zhou family in private? At this moment, Xue Jinzhu stood up and said in an unhappy tone, Hey, Miss Lin, dont think that you can be secretly happy just because Sister Li said that she wont pursue the matter. I feel that your apology isnt sincere enough! Tang Xian pulled Xue Jinzhu. Jinzhu, dont speak so loudly. Chen Xins gaze landed on Tang Xian. Tang Xian ignored Chen Xins gaze and pulled Xue Jinzhu back. Xue Jinzhu waved her hands and stood with her arms crossed. Her unhappiness was written all over her face. [This Xue Jinzhu is really dramatic!] [Li Xiwu didnt even pursue the matter, but she insisted on jumping out and saying more.] [Shes already admitted her mistake and apologized. She didnt pursue the matter. The matter was resolved successfully.] [Sister Li is so generous. Fourth Brother is so gentle. Who said that top-notch wealthy families are very arrogant? As expected of the real couple Im the most enthusiastic about!] [Everyone knows why Miss Lin is spreading rumors, right? Shes very beautiful, a beauty that can be seen at a glance in the crowd, but when she stands beside Sister Li, she instantly pales in comparison. Also, theyre a real couple. Dont even think about being a mistress.] [Fortunately, I trust Sister Li very firmly. Those who change sides with the wind, explode on the spot!] [Its time to end todays live broadcast. Im looking forward to tomorrow.] Everyone thought that this matter was over. The nearly 20 million online viewers thought that the live broadcast was also about to end. A face that Mother-in-Law Joy had not seen for a long time appeared on camera. It was also because of this persons appearance that the popularity of the live broadcast quickly exceeded 20 million! Gao Sisi! Yu Jing was the one who cried out in surprise. He hurriedly pushed Gao Yueban, who was beside him. Hey, hey, hey! Gao Sisi is here! Gao Yueban said, Im not blind. I saw it. Yu Jing asked, What does Gao Sisi mean by appearing at this time? She just happened to be in the limelight. Whats going on? Theres no need to write a script for the screenwriter. Tonights episode can be considered the drama of the year. Gao Yueban couldnt help but sigh. On the other side. Seeing that the matter had been resolved properly, Lin Yourong was in a good mood. When she looked up, she saw a familiar figure in the crowd on Tang Xians side. She stood there quietly and looked at her. After Lin Yourong saw that persons face clearly, her heart trembled! Gao Sisi! Why was she here?!! The moment Lin Yourong noticed Gao Sisi, Gao Sisi walked over. At the same time, everyone saw Gao Sisi suddenly appear. When Lin Yourong saw Gao Sisis expression, she widened her mouth in surprise. Gao Sisi! Why are you here? [Im ready to quit the live broadcast! As soon as Gao Sisi appeared, I woke up.] [As a fan of the first season, let me explain. Gao Sisi is Lin Yourongs daughter-in-law in the first season of Mother-in-Law Joy.] [Isnt Gao Sisi raising a gigolo in marriage? She did it to the fullest on the previous show. At that time, she was scolded badly. How dare she appear on the live broadcast of the second season?] [Should I say it? Gao Sisi looks so haggard] [She didnt have a good life and no money to squander after she must have left the Zhou family. No one indulged her. Thats why shes so haggard.] [This serves her right. Its fine if she caused so much trouble. Its not a big problem, but she has a gigolo. Her private life in marriage is not proper at all. Back then, Lin Yourong was very tolerant of her and did not let her leave with nothing. She even seemed to have given her a lot of money.] [I dont understand why Gao Sisi is here at this time!] Most netizens were wondering why Gao Sisi had appeared in front of Mother-in-Law Joys live broadcast at this time. However, most of the speculations were malicious. What happened back then made many people have a bad impression of Gao Sisi. Gao Sisi slowly walked up to Lin Yourong. She was wearing a thick black down jacket. The loose style made her body look a little bloated, but in fact, she was not fat and was very thin. In fact, she was so thin that she looked out of shape. This was the change in her entire being after the divorce. Gao Sisi raised her hand and combed her long hair. Under the light, she looked a little more energetic. She looked at Lin Yourong, who looked like she had seen a ghost, and said, Mrs. Zhou, long time no see. If not for the fact that there were people around and the live broadcast, Lin Yourong would definitely have pushed Gao Sisi away. But she couldnt do that now. Not only could she not do that, but she also had to show concern. She asked gently, Sisi, why are you here? I havent seen you in a long time. How have you been? You seem to have lost a lot of weight. Gao Sisi smiled. I did lose weight. When Lin Yourong heard this, she was even more concerned than before. Why havent you taken good care of yourself recently? How has your life been unsatisfactory? Just tell me. Even if youre not my daughter-in-law now, youre still my family to me. Gao Sisi said, Im afraid Im not worthy of this family. Lin Yourong smiled and said, How could that be? Weve been family before. Youre my family now. Gao Sisi suddenly asked, Really? When she asked this, Gao Sisis eyes lit up. Lin Huan watched from the side and felt that something was wrong. She did not have a deep impression of Gao Sisi because she had been studying in H Nation and had not spent much time back in the country. She had only met Gao Sisi a few times. In her impression, Gao Sisi was a very lively girl with a good personality. She was easy to talk to and innocent. She had probably been pampered by her cousin. Later on, she heard that after Gao Sisi and her aunt went on a variety show, she divorced her cousin not long after. The reason was that Gao Sisis private life was indecent and she raised a gigolo to censor the Zhou family.. Lin Yourong nodded. Of course. Of course youre still my family. After answering, Lin Yourong stared at Gao Sisis face and said with concern, Look at you. Youve lost too much weight. With that, Lin Yourong took the initiative to hold Gao Sisis hand. You dont take good care of yourself at all. Ill get Auntie to go to your place to take care of you for a while. Lets go. Ill send you home first. Holding Gao Sisis hand, Lin Yourong did not forget Lin Huan and reminded her, Huanhuan, we should go.. Chapter 264 - Chapter 264: The Real Face Is Exposed! Vicious Woman! Chapter 264: The Real Face Is Exposed! Vicious Woman! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Huan still wanted to apologize to Li Xiwu in private later. Just as she was about to say that she would leave first, she suddenly saw Gao Sisi shake off Lin Yourongs hand. This action shocked her! Lin Huans eyes widened. Xue Jinzhu, who was watching from the side, also widened her eyes. Damn, whats going on! Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhous gaze was on her. Their eyes met and he gave her a reassuring look. Thats right. This was the real drama. She and Pei Jingzhou were the parties involved in spreading rumors. If the other party apologized, it was impossible for them to not let it go in front of everyone. However, according to Pei Jingzhous personality, he would not let it go. Therefore, he made sufficient arrangements. Gao Sisi. who had aDDeared. was also included in the arrangements. Some people had to pay the price for what they had done. For example, Lin Yourong had tried her best to chase Gao Sisi out of the Zhou family and even destroyed Gao Sisis reputation, making her unable to raise her head for the rest of her life. At this moment, Gao Sisi suddenly shook off Lin Yourongs hand. Everyone was shocked! [Damn! What is Gao Sisi doing?] [Why do I feel that Gao Sisi is crazy? Its as if shes drunk. Shes so thin that shes almost out of shape!] [Did she raise too many men and have her essence sucked dry? Hahahahaa] [Lin Yourong is really too good to her. If my daughter-in-law were like this, I would kick her as far as I can.] [I want to see what new tricks this Gao Sisi can come up with.] More and more people scolded Gao Sisi. The comments were getting worse. Lin Yourong looked at Gao Sisis abnormal expression and asked with concern, Sisi, whats wrong? Gao Sisi took out her phone and opened a recorded scene for Lin Yourong to see. Mrs. Zhou, do you know what this is? When Lin Yourong saw a recording on the screen, her heart skipped a beat. It shouldnt be a bad thing, right? Lin Yourong comforted herself. Dont think too much. It had been so long. If Gao Sisi still had evidence of her scheme to chase her out, she would have taken it out to threaten her. Thinking of this, Lin Yourong was much more relieved. She pretended to ask, Sisi, what is this? Gao Sisis voice suddenly became sharp. Its Mrs. Zhous plan to chase her daughter-in-law out of the wealthy family! As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yourongs expression changed. She subconsciously reached out to take the phone from Gao Sisis hand. Gao Sisi avoided her hand Mrs. Zhou, are you feeling guilty? Lin Yourong still maintained the smile on her face. Sisi, what nonsense are you talking about? Thats right. In Mrs. Zhous opinion, isnt it just nonsense? Gao Sisi took a step back and held the phone steadily in her hand. Its precisely because I knew that even if I made this evidence public, I wouldnt be able to cause any trouble. This is because you, Mrs. Zhou, will suppress it immediately. This kind of thankless thing will never be washed away. Id rather not do it than take this evidence. Tonight is really a suitable opportunity. Lin Yourongs expression darkened. The gentleness and concern on her face disappeared. She glared at Gao Sisi fiercely. What nonsense are you talking about! Youre crazy. What do you look like! Lin Yourongs expression suddenly changed, shocking everyone. Especially netizens. Gao Sisis eyes turned red. Look, as long as I speak, its nonsense. If you casually accuse me twice, Ill be consigned to eternal damnation. Gao Sisi! Dont call me. Gao Sisis expression turned cold, and the phone in her hand swayed gently. Since no one believes what I said, let everyone hear what you said, Mrs. Zhou. Under Lin Yourongs disbelieving gaze, Gao Sisi opened the recording she had saved. Gao Sisi! Are you courting death? I advise you to sign the divorce agreement obediently. Otherwise, Ill teach you a lesson! As soon as this voice sounded, everyone immediately recognized it. It was Lin Yourongs voice! That tone and those words were like two completely different people from her current appearance. Then Gao Sisis voice sounded. Are you so intolerant of me? The entire Internet knows what kind of person you are now. Youre promiscuous and fickle. Should I keep you so you can continue to embarrass our Zhou family? You know very well that this has nothing to do with me. Its all a trap you dug for me step by step. What gigolo? What promiscuous woman? It has nothing to do with me at all. I only have Zhou Qing as a man. I only love Zhou Qing. Shut up! Who do you think you are! Hurry up and sign it. Pack your luggage and get out of the Zhou family. Otherwise, Ill completely ruin your reputation. Mom, I can move out. I dont want to divorce Zhou Qing. (Here are the uncontrollable cries.) Why are you crying? Are you at a funeral? I went on this lousy show just for today. I spent a lot of effort to make Ah Qing believe that youre a promiscuous woman. Youre from a lowly family. Its already benevolent of me to let you be the wife of a wealthy family for half a year. Mrs. Zhous position is not something you can sit on. Mom . Two people came and pressed her to sign. After signing, they threw her out. When the recording was exposed, the entire Internet was shocked. Lin Yourong tried to go forward and snatch the phone from Gao Sisis hand. Gao Sisi retreated and dodged. She said with a heart-wrenching smile, Ive never thought of going back to the Zhou family again. Dont worry, but I cant swallow this dirty water and injustice Ive always been waiting for such an opportunity to wash away the dirty water on me. Tonight was really too suitable. In order to rush to me earlier, I almost got into a car accident. Fortunately, everything was in time!! Lin Yourong was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Gao Sisi, dont think that just because you took a phone and played a recording there, people will believe you. Thats not what I said at all. You synthesized it, right?! Yes, synthesize! Its synthesis! Gao Sisi chuckled. The voices can be synthesized. What if I have other videos? Video?! Lin Yourongs heart trembled. How could there be a video? At that time, these words were said in the Zhou Residence. Even if there were surveillance cameras in the living room, one had to have her permission to retrieve the footage. Gao Sisis smile was bitter. Ever since I entered the Zhou family, Ive been living in pain almost every day. Sometimes, I feel like Ive married into an ancient family and become a concubine. In fact, Im worse than a concubine. My every word and action dissatisfies you. You scold me at every turn and mentally insult me. At first, I would only endure it silently. Later on, I started recording. Im not afraid to tell you that I still have many recordings of you mentally insulting me, including Lin Yourong wanted to tear Gao Sisis mouth apart. With that in mind, she rushed forward. Pei Jingzhou raised his hand, and Chen Xin immediately went forward to stop Lin Yourong. The others quickly went forward to help stop Lin Yourong, while Li Xiwu stood in front of Gao Sisi. Gao Sisi looked at Li Xiwus figure with red eyes. She looked past Li Xiwus shoulder and saw the agitated Lin Yourong. She said firmly, Including the fact that you lied to me about going on Mother-in-Law Joys variety show. I have to follow the script you gave me. At that time, I naively thought that you would slowly accept me if I listened to you, but I didnt expect that those were all your plans to chase me out of the Zhou family! Youre the vicious woman! Everyone present gasped. Chapter 265 - Chapter 265: Take Out All The Evidence And Slap Her In The Face Chapter 265: Take Out All The Evidence And Slap Her In The Face Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations No one would have thought that Lin Yourong, who performed the best and most likable in Mother-in-Law Joys show last season, would actually be so terrifying! Everything that happened to Gao Sisi was a script she had arranged in advance. After the show ended, she exposed Gao Sisi and forced her to look so pitiful! It was not an exaggeration to say that such behavior was innumerable! At this moment, Lin Yourong, who was tied up, no longer had her usual kind expression. She pointed at Gao Sisi and said loudly, Stop slandering me! Gao Sisi! Lin Yourong glared at Gao Sisi. Youre really an ingrate. I treated you well, but you bit me instead! Arent you afraid of retribution?! Even at this moment, Lin Yourong was still quibbling. And what she said made people wonder. Which of them was lying? [My worldview has been refreshed again!] [Did I scold Gao Sisi too early? She looks so pitiful.] [Maybe shes just riding on the popularity. Its obvious that Gao Sisi isnt simple since she knew to save the recording. Shes not a simple little white flower.] [What Gao Sisi said contradicted her actions. One moment, she was smart enough to save the recording, and the next moment, she foolishly followed the script arranged by Lin Yourong. Perhaps shes also acting now.] [This is the first time Ive seen what it means to be insignificant. Gao Sisi doesnt have any background. Coupled with what happened previously, everyone sees her with a filter of prejudice. However, in fact, Gao Sisi didnt do anything, but she has to pay the price for what Lin Yourong did.] [Its only scary to have conspiracy theories. Gao Sisi is already so miserable. Tonights exposure is her only chance. She must have thought of exposing Lin Yourongs true colors in the past, but she doesnt have any background. How can she compete with Lin Yourong?] [Gao Sisi is so pitiful.] Lin Yourong was still defending herself. Gao Sisi, on account of our previous relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I often take good care of you, even though you and Ah Qing are divorced. I never expected what happened to the farmer and the snake to happen to me. I didnt expect youll turn around and bite me and splash this dirty water on me today. I blurted out those words in a moment of anger. I hope youre on your own. Dont always think about those crooked ways. Learn to be a good person is more important than anything! These words were very true. It almost made people believe Lin Yourongs words. It also made Gao Sisi instantly at a disadvantage. If she did not take out concrete evidence to prove that Lin Yourong had done this to her, this would definitely be a farce and make Gao Sisi a joke. For a moment, everyones gaze landed on Gao Sisi. They wanted to see if Gao Sisi would still refute and if there would really be so-called evidence to slap Lin Yourongs face. Under everyones gaze Gao Sisi slowly walked out from behind Li Xiwu. She did not give up because of Lin Yourongs words, nor did she flinch at all. Her thin face was filled with determination. She raised her phone. Didnt you say that I was slandering you? Then Ill let everyone see clearly what kind of person you, Lin Yourong, are. No one is better at distorting the truth than you. Lin Yourongs pupils constricted when she heard this. Immediately after, Gao Sisi opened a video recording on her phone and played the video in front of the live broadcast camera. This time, it was no longer a voice that could only be guessed and suspected. This time, Lin Yourong was also in the video. Her nasty words, rough tugging, and especially her insults made everyone see the other side of Lin Yourongs kind appearance! After the video finished playing, she continued to play the next one. The cameraman very considerately zoomed in. The netizens, who had already exceeded 20 million online, had seen the video clearly! Lin Yourongs face was pale. She wanted to go forward and snatch the phone from Gao Sisis hand, but she was stopped. She could not go forward no matter what. Like a lunatic, she shouted at Gao Sisi to turn off the video. Gao Sisi only looked coldly at the crazy Lin Yourong and saw that she was really angry from embarrassment after being exposed in public. Her fierce face seemed to be about to rush up and tear her apart in the next second! [F*ck! This is a vicious woman!] [I almost believed Lin Yourongs nonsense!] [The truth is already in front of her. Whats there to feel aggrieved about, Lin Yourong? The comments were all scolding Gao Sisi just now. Why arent those people continuing to scold her now?] [A while ago, I saw the news of a daughter-in-law trembling and twitching on the ground when she heard her mother-in-laws name. At that time, I thought the news was exaggerated. After seeing Gao Sisis encounter, I realized that it was not exaggerated at all. Gao Sisi is so miserable.] [I have to say that Gao Sisis heart is really strong. This day has finally come!] [I really didnt expect Lin Yourong to do anything to chase her daughter-in-law out. How can she be so vicious!] [Gao Sisi came from a well-off family and relied on her own efforts to get into a famous school. Just because her family background was not good enough and she could not bring business benefits to the Zhou family, she was trampled on by Lin Yourong like this. This Lin Yourong is too terrifying.] Min Hanronz, who was standing at the side, was glad for the first time that she had never treated Tao Jing badly since Tao Jing entered the Wu family. Although she did not treat her as her biological daughter, she had never mistreated Tao Jing. Seeing Lin Yourongs vicious side just now, Min Hanrong said something practical. The Zhou familys stock market will definitely plummet tomorrow. When Xue Jinzhu heard Min Hanrongs words, she echoed, The entire Internet knows that a vicious woman has appeared in the Zhou family. They have to consider carefully working with the Zhou Corporation in the future. MO Yujin remained silent. She did not expect such a big show tonight, but this Lin Yourong was indeed quite bad. In order to chase out her daughter-in-law, she would really do anything. They were all women, so they should know that a womans reputation was very important. However, Lin Yourong had ruined Gao Sisis reputation. Now that she would be exposed, even the heavens could not stand the grievances that Gao Sisi had suffered! Han Qianye closed her eyes and looked away from Lin Yourong. At this moment, Gao Sisi put away her phone and said to Lin Yourong in a calm tone, Mrs. Zhou, you always said that I wanted to become a phoenix. You said that I dont have such fortune and that I can only be an ordinary person in my life. What about you? Didnt you use tricks to become Mrs. Zhou back then? Lin Yourong roared, Shut up! If you continue, Ill tear your mouth apart! Gao Sisi chuckled and turned to look at the trembling Lin Huan. Caught off guard, Lin Huan met Gao Sisis gaze and took half a step back.. Chapter 266 - Chapter 266: The Most Complete Counterattack Chapter 266: The Most Complete Counterattack Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Gao Sisi put her hands in her pockets and looked at Lin Huan calmly. You took the blame for her. Youre so noble, just as stupid as I was back then. Lin Huans heart skipped a beat. Just because of Gao Sisis words, everyones gazes gathered on Gao Sisi again. Netizens speculated online: [Whats going on? That Miss Lin took the blame for her aunt? Why?] [What else did Lin Yourong do?] [I felt that something was wrong just now. Since Sister Li and Fourth Brother did not pursue the matter, I did not think too much about it. Now, it seems that I feel that theres something fishy about the initial matter.] [Is it only because Miss Lin is jealous that she started a rumor? To be honest, I dont believe it completely. Lin Yourong definitely cant escape responsibility.] [Damn, dont tell me even Gao Sisi knows? Gao Sisi is really going all out.] Lin Huan was very flustered. On the one hand, she was afraid that the real truth would be exposed and make her aunts current situation even worse. On the other hand, she thought of the things her aunt had done that her aunt had actually done anything to destroy a girl her age. What did Gao Sisi do wrong? She was only married to her cousin. She had not done anything to let the Zhou family down or harm them. Why had she experienced so much darkness? It was all caused by her aunt. If not for the fact that todays timing was right, Lin Huan did not dare to imagine how long Gao Sisi would have to experience such an endless and hopeless life. Perhaps Gao Sisi still had a chance. Or perhaps she would rot in the dirt for the rest of her life. And the culprit behind all this was her aunt! Just as Lin Huan thought that Gao Sisi would say something, Gao Sisi turned around. I finally wiped away the dirty water on my body that I almost thought I would never be able to wipe away in my life. Gao Sisi was about to leave. Such a carefree and agile back. It did not seem to have any intention of doing anything else. As she had said, she had come tonight to prove her innocence and clean herself up. She wanted to continue uprightly, unlike before, when she was criticized by her neighbors and did not dare to retort loudly. She was treated as a joke and conversation topic by her relatives and friends, and her friends distanced themselves from her one after another. This was a live broadcast for the entire country. Everyone had witnessed her counterattack. From now on, if anyone poked at her back again, she could refute them very loudly. However, the angry Lin Yourong did not intend to let Gao Sisi leave so easily. She pushed away the person beside her and was about to rush forward to stop Gao Sisi. Everyone present panicked. They were afraid that Lin Yourong would do something irreversible. Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Huan suddenly rushed forward and pulled Lin Yourong, who had lost control. Aunt! Aunt! Lin Yourong angrily shook off Lin Huans hand. Move. Lin Huan grabbed Lin Yourongs arm tightly. Aunt, all your actions are on camera. Calm down. As soon as she said this, Lin Yourong was stunned. She realized how rude she had been. She actually lost control and insulted Gao Sisi in public! However, when she thought about how Gao Sisi had exposed those things, she was furious. She was so angry that she wished she could tear Gao Sisis face apart! Lin Yourong thought to herself that since it was difficult to do these things in front of the live broadcast camera, she would do it outside of the camera. She had to teach Gao Sisi, that b*tch, a lesson and let her know the consequences of offending her! As she thought this, the expression on Lin Yourongs face became strange. She pushed Lin Huans hand away and was about to walk forward when Lin Huan suddenly said, Aunt, can you not be like this? Gao Sisi has already become like this because of you. What else do you want? Ive listened to you and did as you say this time. Ive taken responsibility for everything. Lets go back and stop causing trouble. Lin Yourong suddenly turned to look at Lin Huan. Lin Huans eyes were filled with tears because her heart ached for Gao Sisi. She did not expect Gao Sisi to be tricked so badly by her aunt. However, to Lin Huans surprise, Lin Yourong raised her hand and slapped her face Smack! There was a sharp sound. Lin Yourong raised her hand and slapped Lin Huans cheek heavily. With this slap, Lin Huan glanced to the side, and crystalline tears fell from her eyes. After Lin Yourong finished slapping, she was stunned. The burning sensation on her palm became denser and denser. Only then did she realize that she had actually hit Lin Huan in public. Huanhuan, I Lin Huan covered her face and retreated aggrievedly. Aunt, if you can vent your anger by hitting me, Im willing to be hit by you, but dont make things difficult for Gao Sisi anymore. Its not easy for her either. I listened to you this time, but I cant do such a thing again in the future. Uncle will be angry if he finds out. At the mention of the Zhou familys head, Lin Yourong realized that she had caused a huge disaster! She was in no mood to care about Lin Huan. She stumbled and ran away first. This direction was in the direction Gao Sisi had left. Li Xiwu immediately said to Chen Xin, Assistant Chen, for safety reasons, send Miss Gao home. You must send her to the door. Chen Xin was already prepared. He nodded. Okay, Madam. Li Xiwu was not used to hearing Chen Xin call her Madam so she was caught off guard. It was probably because Chen Xin wanted to call her Miss Li just now, but he realized that it was not appropriate to call her Miss Li on this occasion, so he changed it to Madam. After Chen Xin left, the entire recording venue fell silent. [This slap hurts even through the screen.] [I knew this Lin Yourong was not a good person. In the future, which fearless person would dare to marry into the Zhou family? If they go, they will risk their lives.] [When I saw Gao Sisi leave so freely, I really had mixed feelings. I apologize for what I said to her just now. Im sorry, Gao Sisi. I hope you can meet a good person in the future.] [This Lin Yourong is so scary. Lin Huan took the blame for her. So it was Lin Yourong who spread rumors about Sister Li and Fourth Brothers relationship.] [Miss Lin chose to make this matter clear. She did the right thing. She only suffered a slap. This Lin Yourong is too scary.] [As expected, it was Lin Yourongs idea. How dare she create such rumors. Its too disgusting.] [Cursing the Zhou familys stock market to plummet tomorrow. Its best if the Zhou family goes bankrupt.] [I was afraid that Lin Yourongs son would find out the truth and go back to look for Gao Sisi. Although its possible that that man did not know from the beginning to the end, if he comes back to look for Gao Sisi, Gao Sisi must not be with that scumbag.] [Thats right. Such a man would divorce you because of an illusion and misunderstanding created by others. He has never thought of living with you seriously for the rest of his life.] [Im sorry, Gao Sisi. Ive always misunderstood your character. I hope you can be happy from now on..] Chapter 267 - Chapter 267: Satisfying! Chapter 267: Satisfying! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was already ten oclock. According to the schedule, todays live broadcast should end at nine-thirty. At this time, the 20 million popularity that had been unable to break through these few days finally broke through the 20 million highest popularity and was also the highest popularity so far. At this moment, the passers-by had already returned home one after another. The production team staff had surrounded this place. Just now, only all the guests, Pei Jingzhou, and Gao Sisi had rushed over. Although Pei Jingzhou had arranged for Gao Sisi to do this, everything was up to Gao Sisi. There was no threat. Gao Sisi had been paying attention to the live broadcast since she found out that Lin Yourong had appeared in Mother-in-Law Joys live broadcast this afternoon. At that time, she had been hesitating if she should take the risk and rush to this show to expose Lin Yourongs true colors. But she was afraid of being chased away as a lunatic. After all, Lin Yourong was so capable. This way, her chances would become even smaller. She would have to live in the shadow of this for the rest of her life. While she was in pain, she received a call. To her, it was almost a call of salvation. Then, without hesitation, she drove over in a hurry. At the speed she sped along the way, she almost got into a car accident. She was in such a hurry because she had a chance. It was that President Pei who gave her a chance. She had to seize this opportunity. She had to! Fortunately, she had succeeded. She had finally wiped away the dirt on her body. From now on, she will not live as painfully as before. Mother-in-law Joys explosive content tonight was undoubtedly trending on Weibo. And it reached the top of the trending searches as quickly as possible. The entries were #Mother-in-Law Joy#. There were no words. If one clicked on them, they would be able to see the trending topic tonight. Some netizens posted Mother-in-Law Joys recording on Weibo. The discussion was very high, and the likes had reached more than 500,000. [After watching the recording, I just want to say that this Lin Yourong is too disgusting.] [Back then, Gao Sisi was scolded so badly that she was forced to divorce. If not for the fact that Gao Sisis heart was still strong, she would have gone crazy.] [Lin Yourongs own history is not very glorious. Its really awesome.] [Lin Yourong was drenched in the rain when she became Mrs. Zhou, so she wanted to tear Gao Sisis umbrella apart.] [This Lin Yourong is too evil. She even spread rumors about Li Xiwu and her husband. How disgusting.] [Especially since she can watch her niece take the blame for her with a clear conscience. The Zhou family should chase her out.] There were more and more criticisms. Everyone was cursing the Zhou Corporations stock market to plummet tomorrow. Who knew that the negative public opinion caused by Lin Yourongs personal actions had already affected the Zhou Corporations stock market? When the netizens saw this, they were very satisfied! It was already ten-fifteen. Mother-in-Law Joys recording on the first day of the last episode of the second season ended at five minutes past ten. Tonight, it had obtained the highest popularity and exploded with topics! Mother-in-Law Joys variety show has become a popular A-list variety show! Lin Huan would naturally be sent away the same way she was picked up. However, before she left, she still did what she had thought before. She walked up to Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou. Although she was nervous and afraid of Pei Jingzhou, she still had to muster the courage to say what she needed to say. Her tone was very sincere. Miss Li, Im really sorry about this matter. Ill apologize to you on behalf of my aunt. Li Xiwus voice was calm. You should go home early. Lin Huan bowed. Im sorry, Miss Li. I apologize for this. Li Xiwu reached out and raised Lin Huans shoulder, indicating that she should stand up straight. After Lin Huan stood up straight, Li Xiwu said, Actually, in the end, I didnt expect you to tell the truth. Lin Huan sighed and lowered her eyes. I was blinded for a moment. I thought, I thought Li Xiwu said, You thought its what your aunt said? Lin Huan said nothing. Li Xiwu looked at Lin Huans self-reproachful expression and said in a gentler voice, You have to learn to judge for yourself. Lin Huan nodded. Then Ill go back first. Li Xiwu nodded. Okay. The car drove over. The driver got out and opened the door for Lin Huan. Lin Huan bent down and got into the car before leaving. After the live broadcast, the others returned to the hotel one after another as they tried to digest everything that had happened tonight. Han Qianye was preoccupied and did not say much. Because Chen Xin had left and President Pei was still around, Xue Jinzhu could not speak to anyone, so she could only follow Tang Xian back to the hotel. Min Hanrongs group and Xiang Lans group were also with her. Han Qianye and MO Yujin walked behind. Min Hanrong had already put away her microphone and said with a sigh, Speaking of which, harming others and yourself. This Lin Yourong is really too much. Why did she have to be so ruthless? Tang Xian sighed. How could she not feel guilty after hurting Gao Sisi like that? Xue Jinzhu, who was walking slowly with her arms crossed, chimed in, Some people are born so bad that theyre completely bad. Even if they do something even worse, she wont feel that she did anything wrong. Tao Jing remained silent. She had also married into a wealthy family, but her family background was good to begin with, and she was also the educated type. Min Hanrong had treated her quite well. Compared to Gao Sisis encounter, she could not empathize, but it was true that she felt very sympathetic, so she still felt very uncomfortable, especially when she thought of Gao Sisis gaze when she left. Her heart ached for her Xiang Lan did not have the habit of discussing others, even Lin Yourong, who had done many bad things. She glanced sideways at Xu Muzhen, who was beside her. At this moment, Xu Muzhen was like a cha in a melon field, jumping up and down as she listened carefully to everyones gossip about Lin Yourong, especially how she got to her position now. At this moment, the production team finished work one after another and moved all the recording equipment back to the hotel. By the time everyone dispersed, it was ten-thirty. Li Xiwu relaxed and returned to the car with Pei Jingzhou. She only planned to sit for a while and talk to Pei Jingzhou while they returned to the hotel. Unexpectedly, Pei Jingzhou asked the driver to drive. Li Xiwu asked, Where to? Pei Jingzhous gaze landed on her face. I booked another hotel. Li Xiwu sat up straight. When did this happen? Pei Jingzhou pulled her hand over. When I came. Li Xiwu leaned closer to Pei Jingzhou. Thank you for tonight, Fourth Brother. Pei Jingzhou said, Since were husband and wife, were bound together. You can treat it as if Im doing this for myself. Theres no need to thank me. Li Xiwu smiled brightly. Then, thank you, Hubby. Pei Jingzhou lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Dont tease me. Li Xiwu looked up. Is this considered teasing? Pei Jingzhou said, Yes, even if its a smile. The smile on Li Xiwus face faded, but it was not because of her conversation with Pei Jingzhou. She said, Fourth Brother, I want to know some of my past interactions with Yu Hewei.. Can you tell me? Chapter 268 - Chapter 268: The Seriousness of the Matter, Public Apology Chapter 268: The Seriousness of the Matter, Public Apology Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Yourong hurriedly returned to the Zhou Residence. When the Zhou familys butler saw Lin Yourong return, he immediately came forward. Madam, youre back. Lin Yourong had been in a panic along the way back. When she saw the butler coming to welcome her, she immediately adjusted her expression. Wheres Old Zhou? The Old Zhou Lin Yourong was talking about was the current head of the Zhou family, Zhou Maoyi. Madam, Master The butler stopped. Why are you hemming and hawing! Lin Yourong frowned and pushed the butler in front of her away. Get the servants to go to my bathroom to fill the bathtub. I want to take a bath. Its been a tiring day outside. Aye, okay. Seeing Lin Yourong walk in, the butler thought that he had to remind her. Otherwise, the scene would definitely get out of hand. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard Master Zhous voice Youre back. The huge living room was brightly lit. At this moment, the servants had already returned to the servants room. Zhou Maoyi was the only one sitting on the sofa in the living room. He flipped through a book in his hand. His sitting posture was casual and not particular. He did not flip through it quickly, but slowly and methodically. Hearing Lin Yourongs voice, he said, Youre back. He did not look up and was still flipping through the book in his hand. Seeing this, Lin Yourongs heart suddenly skipped a beat. At this moment, she was even more nervous than being exposed by Gao Sisi in front of everyone in North Water Town. Especially in front of the usually moody Zhou Maoyi. The butler quietly walked behind Lin Yourong and lowered his voice. Madam, the master has been waiting for you. Lin Yourong swallowed. Got it. The butler was a little worried. He retreated out the door but did not leave. Lin Yourong walked towards the sofa nervously. When she got closer, she shouted gently, Old Zhou, its already so late. Why arent you resting? As she spoke, Lin Yourong sat down beside Zhou Maoyi. She was very close to him, and her wrist was naturally on Zhou Maoyis arm. Zhou Maoyi looked away from the book in front of him and slowly raised his head to look sideways at Lin Yourong. Im waiting for you. Although they were an old married couple, which woman didnt love this warmth, especially since it was already so late and Zhou Maoyi was still sitting there waiting for her to return. Lin Yourong hugged Zhou Maoyis arm and said, A few days ago, Chanel sent me an invitation to their domestic show. Mrs. Lin and I arranged to go together. This time, Chanel invited many celebrities. It was so lively that I forgot when to come back. A lie naturally came from Lin Yourong. No matter what, she had to hide this from Zhou Maoyi first. If she really couldnt hide it anymore, she would make up a story and think of a way to fool him. In any case, Zhou Maoyi had indulged her all these years. This had just happened tonight. Zhou Maoyi definitely didnt know that she had gone to North Water Town tonight. She thought about that. Zhou Maoyi asked her calmly, To the Chanel show? Lin Yourong calmed herself down and said calmly, Thats right. Two years ago, I just became Chanels high-end VIP in the domestic area. Ever since then, Chanel has invited me to every show. Zhou Maoyi retracted his gaze. Why didnt I hear you say that before? Lin Yourong could tell that something was wrong with his tone. Old Zhou, are you unhappy that I came back so late? Zhou Maoyi put down the book, pushed Lin Yourong away, and slowly stood up. Lin Yourong had yet to realize the seriousness of the matter. She looked up at Zhou Maoyi, who had stood up, and thought for a moment, preparing to continue lying. Then, she stood up. Old Zhou, this time Before Lin Yourong could finish speaking, Zhou Maoyi raised his arm and swung it at her face. It happened too suddenly, and this slap was too fast. Lin Yourong could not dodge in time and was forcefully slapped by Zhou Maoyi! As for Lin Yourong, she was stunned. It took Lin Yourong a while to react. She had been hit by Zhou Maoyi. She raised her hand to cover her face and looked at him in disbelief. You hit me. Zhou Maoyis expression was so cold that it was terrifying. I hit you to teach you a lesson! Lin Yourong was still stubborn. You hit me because I did something? Zhou Maoyi, youd better make yourself clear! Make myself clear? Zhou Maoyis cold voice sounded. What you did on that lousy show embarrassed the Zhou family completely. Do you think I dont know about this? The moment he said that Lin Yourongs expression suddenly changed! Zhou Maoyi grabbed Lin Yourongs wrist and pulled her over. He questioned sternly, Forget about being embarrassed. Do you know that you offended the Pei family this time?! At this moment, the numb pain on Lin Yourongs cheek spread to her wrist. It could be seen that Zhou Maoyi had used a lot of strength to grab her wrist. Lin Yourong frowned in pain and said guiltily, Old Zhou, I-I know I was wrong. Zhou Maoyi let go. Lin Yourong retreated out of habit, twisted her feet, and fell to the ground. Lin Yourong felt guilty and aggrieved. Since you already know, why didnt you comfort me? Instead, you slapped me. Zhou Maoyi, do you know that the slap you gave me just now was very painful! Zhou Maoyi looked down at Lin Yourong, who had fallen to the ground. You know pain too? Lin Yourong was furious and dissatisfied. Zhou Maoyi, what are you saying? Zhou Maoyi said, Do you really think the Pei family is easy to provoke?! You really dont know the severity of the matter! Even if their Pei family doesnt do anything, our Zhou Corporations future path will be blocked. Tonight, the Zhou Corporations stock market is already falling. I dont know what will happen tomorrow. Look at what youve done. Youve implicated the entire Zhou family! When Lin Yourong, who was originally very aggrieved, heard Zhou Maoyis words, she realized the seriousness of the matter. One side of her face was red, and the other was pale. Old Zhou, I-I didnt know this matter would blow up. Besides, I was just anxious. Zhou Maoyi was furious. Anxious? Why are you anxious? Is the Pei family someone we can provoke? You even brought Lin Huan to cause trouble. She doesnt have the life to marry into the Pei family. Dont even think about it. Let me tell you, its easy for the Pei family to kill our Zhou family, but even if they dont do anything this time, our Zhou family will be in trouble. Think about how much trouble youve caused this time! Lin Yourong quickly stood up and asked worriedly, Old Zhou, then, then what should we do now? Zhou Maoyi closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath. Ive already asked Zhou Qing to arrange a press conference tomorrow. You have to attend and apologize. Alright, Ill apologize. Ill definitely apologize obediently. Lin Yourong nodded without hesitation. It was nothing to apologize to the Pei family. However, what Zhou Maoyi said was, Not only do you have to apologize to the Pei family, but you also have to apologize to Gao Sisi. Hearing this, Lin Yourongs expression immediately changed. What? You still want to apologize to that woman? As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Maoyi raised his hand again and pretended to hit Lin Yourong. This time, Lin Yourongs eyes were sharp. She immediately raised her hand to cover her face. Its fine to apologize to the Pei family, but why do you want me to apologize to Gao Sisi in public? Youre asking me to throw my face on the ground and be stepped on! Zhou Maoyi snorted coldly. You still know shame? I When Lin Yourong heard that she was going to apologize to Gao Sisi publicly, she was extremely unwilling. No, I wont apologize to that slut. Im Mrs. Zhou! Zhou Maoyi reminded Lin Yourong coldly, Dont tell me you really think its over when President Pei and Mrs. Pei didnt mind? Have you figured it out? Youve offended the Pei family. If our Zhou family doesnt show our attitude this time, it wont be long before our Zhou family wont be able to have a foothold in the capital. Its not up to you to go to this press conference. Not only do you have to apologize to the Pei family, but you also have to apologize for Gao Sisi. Lin Yourong gradually realized the seriousness of this matter.. Chapter 269 - Chapter 269: Soak in the Hot Spring with Fourth Brother Chapter 269: Soak in the Hot Spring with Fourth Brother Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations You have to go! Then a voice came from outside the door. Before Lin Yourong could turn around, she heard the butler say, Young Master is back. Zhou Qing walked in and slowly walked up to Zhou Maoyi. He looked at Lin Yourong, whose face was red and swollen. Mom, you have to go to the Zhou Corporations press conference tomorrow. Lin Yourong looked at her sons attitude. You know too? Zhou Qings voice was calm. I did, but I found out too late. Without the anger she had expected, Lin Yourong felt a little relieved. That woman shouldnt have entered our Zhou family in the first place. Ah Qing, fortunately, you werent soft-hearted back then. Zhou Qing said word by word, I regret not being soft-hearted back then. Lin Yourong said angrily, How is that Gao Sisi worthy of you! Zhou Qing calmly asked, Then how were you worthy of Dad back then? Lin Yourong was instantly speechless. Zhou Maoyi snorted coldly. Zhou Qing did not say anything else and turned to leave. As soon as he came out, the butler went forward and asked, Young Master, youve just returned. Why are you leaving again? Zhou Qings eyes darkened, and there was no light in his eyes. To do what needs to be done, although its already too late. Soon, Zhou Qings figure disappeared into the night. After his son, Zhou Qing, left, Zhou Maoyi was about to leave when Lin Yourong stopped him. Old Zhou, where are you going? Zhou Maoyi coldly pried Lin Yourongs hands away and walked out with a cold expression. Reflect on yourself and prepare yourself to attend tomorrows press conference. If you embarrass me again, get out of the Zhou family. Lin Yourong was stunned. After being slapped just now, Lin Yourongs face became even more red and swollen. Now she felt numb all over. Watching her son and husband leave one after another, Lin Yourong threw things crazily At this moment, Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou had already arrived at the hotel. The location of this hotel was about a kilometer away from the hotel booked by the production team. It was not far. The specifications of the suite were according to Pei Jingzhous usual travel plans. The room was much larger than the room arranged by the production team. There was also a hot spring and an audiovisual room. Pei Jingzhou took off Li Xiwus jacket and placed it on the chair at the end of the bed. Look, do you like this place? Li Xiwu had been scanning the room quickly since she entered. More or less. Pei Jingzhou laughed and walked to her side. What do you mean, more or less? Li Xiwu looked up at him. The hotels are all the same. Theres not much difference. That hotel had a hot spring too, but theres no audio-visual room. Oh, and theres no gym. Pei Jingzhou held her hand and walked out. Li Xiwu followed obediently. Outside was a courtyard-style hot spring. The hot spring had been prepared in advance. At this moment, fog curled around it, and faint heat mixed with the smell of iron assaulted her face. Her eyes lit up. Because this hotel was very high up, it was already late at night. When she looked up, she could see the waning lights in the distant mountains and the entire mountain range. Li Xiwu knew that it would be beautiful to admire the night scenery of North Water Town here, but she did not expect it to be so beautiful that she could barely look away. After looking at it for a long time, she looked away in satisfaction. When she heard footsteps behind her, she thought that Pei Jingzhou had come to call her. She turned around. The moment she saw Pei Jingzhou, Li Xiwus expression froze. Did she look at the night scenery for a long time just now? Why were Pei Jingzhous clothes gone the moment she turned around? Not only were the clothes on his upper body gone, but the pants on his lower body were also gone. There was only a towel around him, revealing his well-defined abs. Li Xiwu said, You.. Pei Jingzhou walked towards her. To soak in the hot spring. Li Xiwu was surprised. Now? Pei Jingzhou pulled her towards the hot spring. Of course. Or should I wait till late at night? You wouldnt have the strength to get up and soak in the hot spring late at night. Li Xiwu: A few minutes later, Li Xiwu entered the hot spring with Pei Jingzhou beside her. The 40-degree water temperature was just right. Her entire body was hot, and her pores opened bit by bit, absorbing the effect of the iron hot spring. Mist lingered in front of her. Li Xiwu could not see Pei Jingzhous expression too clearly. She leaned forward a little and closed the distance between them. Recalling what Pei Jingzhou had told her in the car, her interaction with Yu Hewei Fourth Brother, she called softly. Pei Jingzhous gaze was on her. Even through the lingering fog, he kept looking at her. What else do you want to ask? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. I havent even asked. How can Fourth Brother be sure what I want to ask? Pei Jingzhou said, You forgot that I can read your mind. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Thats true. I almost forgot that Fourth Brother can read my mind. In the water, Pei Jingzhous hand lingered on her waist. If you have any thoughts, you can tell me. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. I originally planned to officially ask for a divorce after the variety show ended. The hand lingering on Li Xiwus waist paused for a moment, then became even more wanton. Actually, Pei Jingzhou knew everything, including the 400 million yuan. However, when he heard Li Xiwu say it again, his heart inevitably skipped a beat. He asked her, What about now? Li Xiwu threw him a sentence. I havent thought about it yet. Pei Jingzhou leaned over. Do you want me to help you think about it? Li Xiwu raised her hand to his chest. Fourth Brother has done a lot for me. Her gestures could not resist Pei Jingzhou. In a few moves, Pei Jingzhou dismantled her and got closer and closer to her. So, after all Ive done for you, how do you plan to repay me? Repay? Yes, repayment. What kind of repayment does Fourth Brother want? Then what kind of repayment are you willing to give me? Well talk about repayment later. Li Xiwu looked up and smiled. Thank you, Fourth Brother, for coming out personally tonight. To be honest, I saw the relief in Gao Sisis eyes that had been suppressed for so long. Im a little touched. Pei Jingzhou could always tell what she was thinking at a glance. Zhou Qing could divorce Gao Sisi because of Lin Yourongs instigation. Are you wondering what I would do if this happened to us? Li Xiwus eyelids fluttered. She wanted to know Pei Jingzhous attitude. She didnt care so much before, but now that she suddenly wanted to know, she hesitated and didnt ask. She didnt expect Pei Jingzhou to see through her and say it directly. Since he said it, she didnt deny it. She nodded. Pei Jingzhou said, I wont do anything. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, Why? Pei Jingzhou said, Because I wont let that happen. Li Xiwu did not believe this. If Fourth Brother doesnt want such a thing to happen, you should have forcefully removed me from the variety show from the beginning. Not letting her on a variety show was the best way to avoid conflict. Pei Jingzhous answer to her was, Youre my wife. I cant dissuade you, so I can only indulge you. What else can I do? Tie you up and bring you back to watch you at home every day? Li Xiwu smiled brightly. As she smiled, Pei Jingzhou turned around in the hot spring and placed his arm on the edge of the hot spring. His body came up behind her. I know what Im doing. Li Xiwu knew very well what he was going to do when he suddenly changed his posture. She gritted her teeth slightly. Im not done talking. Although I know about my interaction with Yu Hewei, I still want to know if my current name was something you thought of casually back then. Also, you Ah She was pulled forward. The water in the hot spring rippled.. Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: The Day She First Met Pei Jingzhou Chapter 270: The Day She First Met Pei Jingzhou Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations What should she do if her husbands stamina is too strong? Li Xiwu did not understand. They had been married for three years, but Pei Jingzhou was still very enthusiastic about the things between husband and wife. He was not calm at all. Probably because of the influence of the married colleagues around them, those couples who had been married for a year no longer had passion. They resolved their needs calmly once or twice a month. But she realized that, in fact, that wasnt the case at all. Pei Jingzhou would always be a newlywed. Or rather, he was in a passionate state of love. Just like tonight. Li Xiwu was extremely sleepy in the first half of the night. After a period of time, Pei Jingzhou was no longer doing it. Unexpectedly, she was no longer sleepy in the second half of the night. Although her body did not have much strength, the cells in her mind were very active. She turned over and lay on Pei Jingzhous chest. She patted his cheek gently. Dont sleep anymore. Pei Jingzhou: Li Xiwu saw the sleepiness on Pei Jingzhous face and was a little smug. Wasnt Fourth Brother very arrogant just now? Pei Jingzhous lips curled into a doting smile. In an instant, he turned the tables and pressed her down again. You can be a little more domineering. Li Xiwu said, Fourth Brother, youre just trying to be brave. Pei Jingzhou narrowed his eyes. Li Xiwu saw the danger in his eyes and changed her tone. I was wrong. She was decisive and straightforward! Pei Jingzhou smiled. Arent you recording a show tomorrow? If you dont sleep now, you wont be able to get up tomorrow morning. You make it sound like Ill be up in the morning if I fall asleep now, she said. Pei Jingzhou said, Its my fault. Li Xiwu said, Its indeed your fault. Pei Jingzhou smiled and moved closer to her. The heat from his body enveloped her entire body. It was as if a mans body was always hotter than a womans, like a heater. He wrapped his arm around her soft waist. Go to sleep. Li Xiwu removed his hand from her waist and propped her elbows on the pillow. She turned sideways and looked at him like this. Fourth Brother, you havent told me. Did you casually choose my current name? Pei Jingzhou said, No. Li Xiwu was curious. Then how did I get my name now? Pei Jingzhou looked at her with narrowed eyes. You named it yourself. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. I named it myself? Yes, Pei Jingzhou replied. Li Xiwu thought to herself, Isnt this throwing her a difficult problem? She didnt have her previous memories, so how would she know why she gave herself this name? She didnt think about nicknames because it was obvious that they werent nicknames. Otherwise, she would have been recognized by her acquaintances. Pei Jingzhou looked at her seriously. It was when we first met. Li Xiwu said, Huh? The Pei family and the Li family each lived in the Tan Hua Manor and the Qiang Yue Garden respectively. Logically speaking, they were two families that had never interacted. Therefore, Li Xiwu was very curious. Why were she and Pei Jingzhou childhood sweethearts? Actually, the middleman was Uncle Han Pin. That day, there was a speech at Capital University. The school invited the big shot in the legal world, Han Pin, and the big shot in the diplomatic world, Li Huaisheng. Li Huaisheng only had one daughter, Li Xiwu. From the moment she was born, he brought her everywhere. That time, he also brought her to school. When the speech began, Li Huaisheng was the first to go up. He handed Li You over to his best friend, Han Pin, to take care of. The two of them had a deep relationship, like biological brothers, so Li Huaisheng was very assured to hand Li You over to Han Pin to take care of. Therefore, the five-year-old Li Xiwu and the seven-year-old Pei Jingzhou interacted for the first time because of Han Pin. When she was young, although Li Yous personality was not at the level of socially awesome, she was still lively. After Li Huaisheng went on stage to give a speech, she obediently stayed by Han Pins side at first. At a glance, she looked very honest. When everyone was listening attentively and engrossed, Li You began to become restless. One moment, she moved, and the next, she slid down from the chair and squatted on the ground. No matter how she looked at it, she was restless. It was to the extent that Pei Jingzhou, who was sitting behind, could not stand it anymore. He knew that this was the little girl that Mr. Li had handed over to his uncle to take care of, so he called out to him, Control her! Li You looked up at the person who had asked Uncle Han to control her. Their gazes met. The seven-year-old Pei Jingzhou looked like a little adult. He calmly looked away and continued to listen to Mr. Lis speech. Han Pin called out to Li You. Little You, come and sit. Your father will be down soon. Li You obeyed and sat down obediently. Halfway through Li Huaishengs speech, Han Ping was mentioned. In the end, in response to everyones high and enthusiastic cheers, Li Huaisheng and Han Ping spoke in the same frame. Han Pin was naturally overjoyed. After all, he and Li Huaisheng had a lot of CP fans! Therefore, before Han Pin went up, he casually handed Li You to Pei Jingzhou. Nephew, help me look after Little You. Ill be down soon. Pei Jingzhou glanced at Li You, who seemed to have ADHD. He hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing. Got it. Han Pin told Li You again and went up happily. Li Huaisheng and Han Pin were in the same frame. The applause was unprecedented. Han Pin stood beside Li Huaisheng with his big teeth bared. The noble and elegant Li Huaisheng handed the microphone in his hand to Han Pin and reminded him, Keep your front teeth. Han Pin took the microphone from Li Huaisheng and put away his bare front teeth. The host immediately came up and handed another microphone to Li Huaisheng. Pei Jingzhou was also clapping. His hand gestures slowly stopped. He looked in Li Yous direction and opened his mouth to say something. Before he could speak, Li You had already slipped out. Li You was small, and everyones attention was on the stage. Other than Pei Jingzhou, no one noticed a little girl slip out. However, when she slipped out, she could not find the way. This was Li Yous first time at Capital University, so she was not familiar with this place. She could only stroll around aimlessly, curious about this place. As she walked, she was grabbed by the back of her collar. She shrunk her neck and turned around to see Pei Jingzhous unhappy face. Pei Jingzhou let go. Can you be more obedient? Li You did not want to bother with Pei Jingzhou. She turned to leave, but Pei Jingzhou grabbed her wrist again and pulled her back. Dont run. Uncle Li wont be able to find you when he comes down. Li You struggled. Let go of me. Pei Jingzhou said calmly, You have to be obedient. Li You was not very happy. Mom said not to talk to people you dont know. The seven-year-old Pei Jingzhou had been educated and already knew how to organize fluent language to explain his identity. He said solemnly, My name is Pei Jingzhou. Professor Han is my uncle. Hes giving a speech with Uncle Li now, so he handed you over to me to take care of. I have to be responsible for you. The words responsible for you that came out of his mouth at such a young age were very pure. Because that was a responsibility he knew at the age of seven. Li You did not listen carefully to what Pei Jingzhou said. In order to go out with Li Huaisheng this morning, she woke up early. Now, she was yawning and listless. She didnt know the way outside. Since she was going back, she obediently reached out to Pei Jingzhou. Carry me. Pei Jingzhou hesitated for a moment before saying, Im sorry, I cant carry you.. Chapter 271 - Chapter 271: Pei Jingzhou Had Loved Her Since She Was Young Chapter 271: Pei Jingzhou Had Loved Her Since She Was Young Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations With that) Pei Jingzhou quickly thought for a few seconds and added, I can carry you on my back. Li You said) Why dont you hold my hand? Sure. Pei Jingzhou reached out to her. Li You reached out her hand. Pei Jingzhou held her hand and led her forward. She followed listlessly and muttered, Im going to sleep. Pei Jingzhou said as he walked, You were still very energetic just now and ran very fast. I almost couldnt catch up to you. Li You said in a muffled voice, I woke up early today. Pei Jingzhou said, Then go in and sleep for a while. Li Yous eyelids drooped and she did not say anything. After taking a few steps, she let go of Pei Jingzhous hand and squatted down to say that she would not leave. Pei Jingzhou had been relatively introverted since he was young. He was not very proactive, was not enthusiastic, and did not have much patience. Usually, he would only occasionally take care of his two-year-old sister, Pei Jiao, at home. He did not talk much to his peers. He was quiet and hated trouble the most. But this time, he patiently coaxed Li You and brought her in. In the end, Li You slept in his arms. He hugged her and continued to listen to his uncle and Uncle Lis speech. Until the end of the speech. Those students did not leave the venue. Instead, they swarmed forward to ask for Li Huaisheng and Han Pins autographs. In addition to the idols in the entertainment industry who were sought after by fans, the idols in the academic world were respected by many. Li Huaisheng had been thinking about his daughter. After hurriedly signing some, he handed the place to Han Pin. When he returned and saw his daughter sleeping peacefully in the arms of the Pei familys eldest son, he was relieved. Pei Jingzhou greeted politely, Uncle Li. Li Huaisheng smiled elegantly. Thank you for taking care of Little You. At this moment, Li You slowly woke up in Pei Jingzhous arms. She looked at Li Huaisheng, then at the person holding her, and then reached out her hands to Li Huaisheng. Li Huaisheng took Li You back into his arms and thanked Pei Jingzhou again before preparing to leave. Pei Jingzhou stood up and shouted, Uncle Li. Li Huaisheng turned around and looked at Pei Jingzhou. Yes? Pei Jingzhou asked, Whats her name? Hed taken the initiative to ask the name of a little girl because he thought she could be his friend. He didnt want to see her only once. He wanted to see this friend many times. So he wanted to know her name in anticipation of their next meeting. Li Huaisheng was about to answer when Li You introduced herself. My name is Li Xingwu. Do you remember? In the dead of night. Only Pei Jingzhou spoke unhurriedly. After hearing Pei Jingzhou talk about the first time they met when they were young, Li Xiwu sighed with emotion at Pei Jingzhous memories. To be able to remember the matter of being seven so clearly, she was curious. Why Li Xingwu? This was not the same name as Li Xiwu, right? Pei Jingzhou said, I only knew why after that. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Huh? Pei Jingzhou said, Uncle Li said that because you like Friday very much, you will be on holiday on Friday and dont have to go to kindergarten, so you gave yourself the name Li Xingwu. Li Xiwu: Pei Jingzhou looked at Li Xiwus speechless expression and said with a lazy smile, Li Xingwu, Ive remembered this name for a long time. It was only when we met again a year later that I realized your name is Li You. Li Xiwu frowned. So, I, Li Xiwu, got my name from this? If one did not see the spelling of Li Xingwu or Li Xiwu at first glance, the homonym was indeed very similar. Therefore, four years ago, Pei Jingzhou changed her name, Li Xingwu to Li Xiwu. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Can you accept this fact? Uh Li Xiwu pursed her lips. At first, she didnt know how to respond to this. Then she realized and began to be a rogue. How do I know if youre telling the truth? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Are you suspecting that I made it up to lie to Li Xiwu cleared her throat. Maybe. Pei Jingzhou let go of her waist and turned his back to Li Xiwu. If you dont believe me, pretend I didnt say anything just now. Li Xiwu: Li Xiwu, who had always been self-disciplined, suddenly found out one day that she had loved to put on airs since she was young. The difference was too great, and Li Xiwu could not recover for a moment. Li Xingwu, just because she liked Friday? Okay, think about it another way. She was five years old then. What did a five-year-old know? She only knew how to play all day and even knew Pei Jingzhou. She took her phone and looked at the time. It was three-thirty. If she didnt sleep, she would probably be listless when recording the show tomorrow. She put down her phone and tucked in the blanket. She lay down to sleep with her back facing Pei Jingzhou. After being satisfied to know what she wanted to know, sleepiness came to the fore. As soon as her head touched the pillow for a moment, her eyelids began to droop. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a subtle movement behind her. Pei Jingzhou turned around and pulled her into his arms from behind. The next day. 9:12 A.M. Li Xiwu, who slept late, indeed could not get up in the morning. Pei Jingzhou had even turned off her alarm clock, so she slept until past nine. She opened her eyes and was stunned for a few seconds. She noticed that the sky was already bright. The next second, she suddenly sat up! She took the phone and looked at the time. It was nine- fifteen. The broadcast was at ten today. She had overslept. There was no sign of Pei Jingzhou in the room. Li Xiwu thought that he had already went to the company. She scratched her head and thought to herself that it was a good thing that Pei Jingzhou did not bring her back to Lake Lu last night. If she woke up at this time and set off from Lake Lu to North Water Town, it would be too late to record the show. Although it didnt matter if she was a little late, she wanted to record the last episode as well as possible. She got out of bed and went to wash up. After a few minutes, she came out and was about to go out when she saw Pei Jingzhou sitting at the end of the bed waiting for her. Li Xiwu was surprised. Fourth Brother, you didnt leave? Pei Jingzhou slowly stood up. I had a cigarette outside just now. Li Xiwu smelled faintly of tobacco. She raised a hand to her hair. Then Ill leave now. Honey, Pei Jingzhou called out helplessly. Li Xiwu turned. Yes? Pei Jingzhou walked over and said, Ive been waiting for more than two hours. Are you sure youre going to leave me alone? Li Xiwu smiled and asked, Then why dont we go together? Pei Jingzhou took her hand and put it in his coat pocket. Lets go. Li Xiwu followed at a brisk pace. When she came out of the hotel, the car to pick Pei Jingzhou up was already waiting there. After getting into the car, Chen Xin handed Li Xiwu the breakfast Pei Jingzhou had ordered. Madam, this is the breakfast Mr. Pei ordered. Li Xiwu took the breakfast, both in two paper bags. She could smell the fragrance before she opened them. She took it and said, Call me what you used to. Im not used to it. Chen Xin could not make a decision, so he looked at Pei Jingzhou. This was Pei Jingzhous call. In any case, Li Xiwu was already slowly recovering her memories, so he asked Chen Xin to change the way he addressed her. In the future, he would call her Mrs. Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu looked at Chen Xins troubled expression and smiled helplessly. Ill slowly adapt. Chen Xin looked delighted. Okay, Madam. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways and reminded Li Xiwu, Mrs. Pei, eat your breakfast. Li Xiwu smiled. Got it. After arriving at the hotel where the show was recorded, Li Xiwu finished her breakfast. She folded the bag and was about to throw it away when Pei Jingzhou took it. Theres no trash can nearby. Lets go in first. Li Xiwu agreed and pushed open the car door to get out. At this moment, she was suddenly attracted by a few luxury cars driving past, so she looked in that direction. Four luxury cars stopped outside the hotel. The people in the luxury cars had yet to get out. Li Xiwu could not see them and could only guess who was going out.. Such a big scene! Chapter 272 - Chapter 272: Meeting Grandma! Chapter 272: Meeting Grandma! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Four luxury cars stopped outside the hotel in an orderly manner. The golden Goddess of Ecstasy standing at the front of the car was especially eye-catching. The car door opened and someone got out first. The person was wearing black-framed glasses, a suit, and shiny leather shoes. He bowed slightly to the car and spoke. Li Xiwu guessed that he was probably a follower of the person in the car. In the past, as long as one was a landlord, one could also have an attendant accompanying them. In todays society, if one could have an attendant, one must be rich or noble, such as Madam Di Xin. Although Li Xiwu was curious, she did not look at the lead car for too long. She raised her hand to tidy her hair and walked towards the hotel. She walked fast. Just as she was about to pass by the four luxury cars and the lead car, the follower who had been standing outside the car looked up at Li Xiwu. Their eyes met for a moment. The other party smiled at her. Li Xiwu was surprised. After all, she did not know the other party. She guessed that it was probably because of this persons usual politeness, so she returned a polite smile. The corners of her lips were halfway up. Li Xiwu noticed someone looking at her through the lowered window. She looked closer and saw that it was an old lady with a graying bun. The old lady had a sable waistcoat over her shoulder. Her makeup was exquisite, but she was expressionless. Even from a certain distance, Li Xiwu felt that the old ladys aura was very terrifying! An old lady of the same age, Li Xiwu saw elegance and gentleness in Madam Di Xin. And this old lady, whom she had never met before, exuded a noble aura. Li Xiwu looked away and walked past silently, heading into the hotel. At the same time, Pei Jingzhous car had yet to leave. In the car, Chen Xin retracted his gaze and turned to Pei Jingzhou. In that car is Old Madam Mo. Pei Jingzhou clasped his hands in front of his abdomen. Who else? Chen Xin said, Theres also the eldest daughter-in-law of the MO family. Shes sitting beside Old Madam Mo. The windows of the three cars behind havent been lowered, so Im not sure whos inside? Pei Jingzhou looked up. She saw them? Chen Xin said, Madam passed by Old Madam Mos car just now. I believe both parties have met. Pei Jingzhous expression was reserved. Back to the hotel. Chen Xin said, The company Pei Jingzhou said, The meeting is at the hotel. Inform them. Chen Xin nodded. Okay. Li Xiwu took the elevator upstairs. When she reached the floor, the elevator doors opened. When she came out of the elevator, she happened to meet MO Yujin, who was about to go downstairs. Before she could greet her, MO Yujin took the initiative to call her, Xiwu. Li Xiwu walked up to MO Yujin. Auntie MO, are you going out? The two of them had not spoken much since they met yesterday. MO Yujin had originally planned to interact more with Li Xiwu at night. Unexpectedly, when she went to Han Qianyes place at night, she found out that Li Xiwu did not return to the hotel last night. It was rare for them to talk at this moment. MO Yujin pulled Li Xiwu aside kindly. Im going downstairs for breakfast. Have you eaten? Li Xiwu said, I already ate on the way back. MO Yujin asked, Where did you stay last night? Li Xiwu said, Also in North Water Town. MO Yujin nodded and continued to find a topic. The iron hot spring here is quite good. Have you tried it? Those words immediately pulled Li Xiwus memory back to last nights indulgence. Her expression didnt change. I tried. Its quite good. MO Yujin smiled. I was still thinking that if we had time, we could soak in it together. Its good to chat more when we have nothing to do. I keep feeling that we hit it off very well. I just hate that I didnt see you sooner. If she had seen her earlier, she would have recognized her earlier. Li Xiwu was a little moved. If she had not found out about her relationship with MO Yujin from Pei Jingzhou, she might have just smiled at MO Yujins words. You You They both spoke at the same time. Li Xiwu gestured. You go first. MO Yujin did not stand on ceremony and said to Li Xiwu, Are you happy Hearing this, Li Xiwu smiled faintly. No one is happy every day, but no one is depressed every day. Im living in the middle now. Occasionally, Ill be worried about some work matters. Ill be very happy when I get home. This sentence was to tell MO Yujin about her current state of life. When MO Yujin heard Li Xiwus words, she felt a little relieved. Life is most likely not going according to your wishes. How can everything go according to your wishes? You have to worry too much about nothing. Its best to manage your life well. With that, MO Yujin asked, By the way, what were you going to say just now? Li Xiwu pursed her lips and asked in a slow tone, Why did you agree to be on this show? It was no secret in the industry that MO Yujin never participated in variety shows. No variety show could move her or invite her. Many people in the industry were shocked that she would participate in this in-law variety show. MO Yujin looked at Li Xiwu and asked seriously, Do you want to know? Li Xiwu nodded. If its convenient for you to say, I want to know. MO Yujin looked moved. I Buzz buzz buzz. Someones phone vibrated. Li Xiwus reaction was slow for a few seconds. She realized that it was her phone. The caller ID was Han Qianye. MO Yujin also saw the caller ID on Li Xiwus phone. Thinking that she still had something to do, she swallowed the words she had almost said just now. It was not the right time. It was not too late to talk about it later. Hence, she could only say, Qianye should be asking if youre back. I should go down for breakfast. Otherwise, I wont have time to rush the live broadcast later. Li Xiwu nodded and left to answer Han Qianyes call. Downstairs. A moment after Pei Jingzhous car drove away, in the lead car at the entrance of the hotel, the MO familys daughter-in-law, Xu Qing, said in a low voice, Mom, Pei Jingzhou i s car has already left. Guan Suling narrowed her eyes for a while. When she heard this, she slowly opened her eyes. Send someone to follow carefully and see if he left North Water Town. Xu Qing raised her chin at the person outside the car door. The person outside the car understood and turned to make the arrangements. Guan Suling looked at the entrance of the hotel. When will Yujin come out? Xu Qing said carefully, Yujin is on the way out. The MO family had a certain status in the entire capital. Their background was far-reaching, especially Old Madam Mos background, Guan Suling. Guan Sulings surname was Guan. This surname was indeed very common in todays world, so it was not surprising. However, her ancestors surname was the Gwalgiya clan. This surname was the first clan in the Manchurian clan, and she was a true relative of the emperor. However, later on, the Gwalgiva family evolved into the surname Guan. Although the surname could be changed, its background was unshakable. Guan Suling had a domineering personality in the MO family. The descendants of the MO family respected her very much. Even though Guan Suling was almost 80 years old, she still had the final say in the MO family.. Chapter 273 - Chapter 273: She Has a More Noble Identity Chapter 273: She Has a More Noble Identity Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xu Qing, this eldest daughter-in-law, was an unreachable Mrs. MO outside, but in front of Guan Suling, she was the obedient daughter-in-law of the MO family. Every time she spoke, she had to consider it for a long time and not dare to make any mistakes. At this moment, Xu Qing looked at the figure coming out of the hotel and said to the old lady beside her, Mom, Yujin is out. A moment later, the car door opened. Xu Qing got out of the car first. MO Yujin walked over and called out, Sister-in-law. Xu Qing nodded and gestured to the car. Mom is waiting for you. MO Yujin nodded and bent down to get into the car. Xu Qing considerately closed the car door and went to the car behind. Youre here. Guan Suling glanced sideways at MO Yujin, who had just sat down. Due to the MO Familys upbringing, MO Yujin stood or sat upright at all times. Mom, why are you here so early today? Guan Suling looked at the fatigue on MO Yujins face. Is recording a show that tiring? MO Yujin sighed. Stop talking. This is the first time Ive recorded such a live variety show in my life. Its terrible. Guan Suling said, Arent you tired from filming? MO Yujin said, Mom, thats different. How can it be ditterent( Guan Suling looked at the rearview mirror in front of her and said calmly, Tell me about yesterday. Hearing this, MO Yu Jin straightened up. Actually, she had already called Guan Suling last night and told her what she knew. Han Qianye did not reveal much, but Li Xiwus identity was confirmed. Otherwise, Guan Suling would not have rushed over so early in the morning. When she bumped into Li Xiwu when she came out just now, she almost couldnt help but want to acknowledge her. Now that Guan Suling asked again, it was obvious that she wanted to hear the situation from MO Yu Jin. After MO Yujins expression turned serious, she was in no hurry to say anything. Instead, she asked, Did you see Xiwu just now? Guan Suling recalled her brief meeting with Li Xiwu just now and her heart trembled. She slowly clenched her fists on her lapel. In this life, Guan Suling had never changed her expression no matter what happened. Only the moment she really saw Li Xiwu, she was nervous and lost her mind. Even though her appearance had changed a little, Guan Suling felt close to her with just one look MO Yujin looked at the dazed Guan Suling and waved her hand in front of her eyes. Mom? Guan Suling came back to her senses. Go ahead. MO Yujin slowly said, Although Han Qianye didnt say it explicitly, we can basically confirm that Li Xiwu is Little You with amnesia. Guan Sulings calm expression slowly became no longer so calm. Her clenched fists were trembling slightly. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions. Are there any characteristics? Because she knew late, Guan Suling had never watched a live broadcast. She had watched the live broadcast for an entire day yesterday. During this period, she had even asked MO Yan to find her a recording of Li Xiwu on the Internet. Actually, Guan Suling was basically certain that Li Xiwu was Little You. But she was especially afraid that in the end, it would be for nothing. After all, something like Little Yous resurrection was too unreal. MO Yujin placed her hand on the back of Guan Sulings trembling hand and shook it. Mom, I havent interacted much with Xiwu. I cant see any characteristics for the time being. Guan Suling asked, Doesnt she have any memories? MO Yujin shook her head. No. Guan Suling sighed softly. Ive already gotten someone to investigate everything that happened after Pei Jingzhou returned from Country T four years ago. Pei Jingzhou has kept the news tight. We cant find out anything. MO Yujin said according to her guess, Little You has experienced so much. Pei Jingzhou made her lose her memory. It can be considered a new beginning. Otherwise, how would she survive? Guan Sulings expression turned cold. No matter what Pei Jingzhous intentions were back then, he shouldnt have hidden Little You for four years. He even hid it from me. MO Yujin didnt dare to say anything. She knew that Guan Suling was angry. For the past four years, Guan Suling had gone to the ancestral hall every day to see the longevity tablet she had erected for Li You. Although she knew in her heart that Li You was no longer around, she could not accept the fact that she was no longer around) so she stubbornly erected a longevity tablet for her. She thought that the heavens must have opened their eyes. She had been blessing Li You and letting her return safely. Han Qianye had been upset the entire night because of what happened last night. Today, she finally calmed down a little. At the thought of her friendship with Lin Yourong, she panicked. After calling Li Xiwu and waiting for her to return, she opened the news feed on her phone. It was a press conference held by the Zhou Corporation. The entire process and video content of the press conference had been officially posted on the official Weibo of the Zhou Corporation. This matter became a trending topic. It caused a lot of heated discussion. Lin Yourong appeared wearing a mask. Under the cameras of the reporters, her face looked very haggard after removing the mask. She solemnly apologized to the Pei Corporation and even admitted her evil actions against Gao Sisi in private. In front of the camera, she sincerely acknowledged her mistake and her attitude was not perfunctory at all. However, the netizens still scolded Lin Yourong [Apologizing is already letting you off easy. How are you going to repay Gao Sisi for the harm she suffered?] [While chasing away her daughter-in-law who doesnt have a prominent family background, she urged her niece to interfere in someone elses marriage. The evil mother-in-law of the year has become a god!] [To be honest, Im starting to suspect that the couples in the second season also have a problem like Gao Sisi and Lin Yourong. They pretend to be harmonious on the surface, but their relationship is actually extremely bad?] [If Im at a press conference, Ill send Lin Yourong a basket of eggs.] [Girls nowadays are afraid of marriage to begin with. Lin Yourong has contributed greatly by increasing the fear of marriage. If only she could be punished.] [I hope Gao Sisi can live a good life in the future. When she meets a man who really loves her, she has to meet a mother-in-law who treats her well with all her heart.] [The Zhou Corporations stock market has fallen so badly.] [After offending the Pei family, even if the Pei family doesnt make a move, they wont have a good time.] [Fortunately, Li Xiwu was very magnanimous last night and did not pursue the matter. Otherwise, the Zhou Corporation would definitely be in trouble!] [Speaking of which, what shocked me was that Li Xiwu married into the Pei family in the capital. Her life is simply better than Lin Yourongs. Back then, it took Lin Yourong a lot of effort to succeed!] [Li Xiwu realized the fairy tale of Cinderella marrying into a wealthy family. In the end, she was lucky + she has a face that can marry into a wealthy family.] Han Qianye was in a good mood when she saw the comments. When she saw that there were comments discussing Li Xiwu, she reported it. Cinderella? Whos Cinderella? Not only was her Xiwu the only daughter of the highest-ranking diplomat in China, but she was also the only daughter of the only female mayor in Shen City in the past ten years. Apart from that, she also had the bloodline of the Guan family. Guan Suling was her biological grandmother! Who could compare to such a background? Chapter 274 - Chapter 274: Han Qianye: My Eldest Grandson! Chapter 274: Han Qianye: My Eldest Grandson! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Currently, Han Qianye did not know that Guan Suling had come to North Water Town early in the morning and was quite ostentatious! However, even if she knew, she would not deliberately avoid anything. From the moment MO Yujin appeared, she knew that Old Madam MO would appear sooner or later. She looked at the time. It was almost 9:40. Han Qianye put away her phone and waited patiently for Li Xiwu to return. Buzz buzz buzz. The phone in her hand kept vibrating. She looked down and saw that it was a call from the hospital. Han Qianye glanced at the door first. Seeing that Li Xiwu was not back yet, she got up and went to the balcony to answer the call. Is the result out? Dr. Luo stammered, Mrs. Pei, this, this Han Qianye said, Speak. Han Qianye had done something wicked last night. This wicked thing was to secretly rummage through Li Xiwus suitcase while she was away. This was the first time in her life that she had done such a sneaky thing. To be honest, Han Qianye was very flustered at that time and even felt very embarrassed. However, she had no choice. She had to do a DNA test quickly and could not delay any longer. Because it was her first day here, Li Xiwus toothbrush was still unused, so Han Qianye could only open Li Xiwus makeup bag. Although there was a makeup artist for the entire recording, every guest would also bring their own makeup tools. Li Xiwus makeup bag contained a makeup primer and sunscreen, an air cushion and two lipsticks, and finally a thin eyebrow pencil. Dr. Luo had said that lipstick could also be tested for DNA. Hence, Han Qianye chose one of the two lipsticks in Li Xiwus makeup bag. Losing a lipstick wasnt easy to spot. At most, she thought she had forgotten to bring it. Han Qianye chose the lipstick that was used the most. At that time, she sent someone to take it away and send it to the hospital. However, the result now was- Dr. Luo said, Mrs. Pei, we cant extract DNA from Material Twos hair follicles anymore. Theres no way to get a result now. We need you to provide new hair. Han Qianye: She had only gotten a tube of lipstick after doing something sneaky and immoral. Just as she thought that she would see the results soon, the doctor suddenly told her that the hair follicles of Material Two could no longer be extracted! ! Han Qianye was very depressed. Then why didnt you say so earlier? Dr. Luo was embarrassed. We tried our best to complete the extraction this morning, but we still failed in the end. Im sorry, Mrs. Pei. Han Qianye did not have any intention of making things difficult. She was just very depressed and felt that she had been sneaking around for nothing! She asked, In other words, I need to provide another hair for Material Two? Dr. Luo said, Yes, Mrs. Pei. Han Qianye was in a dilemma. Then wait for my notice. Dr. Luo quickly said, Okay, okay. After ending the call, Han Qianye crossed her arms and fell into deep thought. Yaoyao was still with Madam Di Xin. Actually, it was fine for Yaoyao to stay with Madam Di Xin. To the Pei family, Yaoyao was currently an illegitimate existence, so Han Qianye could not directly bring Yaoyao back to her side. If Madam Di Xin did not agree and fell out, Li Xiwu would quickly find out about this. She was not afraid that Li Xiwu would find out that Yaoyao was related to Jingzhou, but she was afraid that Yaoyao was related to Jingzhou, but it had nothing to do with Li Xiwu. If it really had nothing to do with Li Xiwu, it would be over. Illegitimate child! Not to mention what Li Xiwu would think, if Han Qianye was in her shoes, if Pei Qingji brought back an illegitimate child that had nothing to do with her one day, she would at least overturn the entire Pei family! In order to reassure herself as soon as possible, Han Qianye called Madam Di Xin. Li Xiwu returned at the same time that Madam Di Xin picked up the phone. There was no sound when the hotel door opened. Han Qianye was standing on the terrace, so she naturally did not hear Li Xiwu return. Li Xiwu did not see Han Qianye after coming in. She thought that Han Qianye might have gone down from the elevator on the other side. She opened her suitcase and found her makeup bag, preparing to go down after putting on some simple makeup. She usually applied sunscreen and primer together, but in order to be in a hurry today, she only applied primer. She did not apply an air cushion either. She just drew a shallow line between her eyebrows and applied a little lipstick to maintain her makeup. She flipped through it but couldnt find any lipstick. Li Xiwu frowned in confusion. She remembered that she had brought two lipsticks. Why was there no lipstick left? After zipping up her makeup bag, Li Xiwu was about to rummage through her luggage again when she heard voices coming from the terrace. She paused, then walked toward the terrace. When did you go back? Why didnt you tell me you were leaving? No way. Youre not coming to the capital anymore? How can that do! No, no! You have to send Yaoyao back. Dont think I dont know. I know everything now. Li Xiwu stopped at the terrace door. It turned out that Han Qianye had not left and was answering the phone on the terrace. This call must have been answered for a while. She hadnt heard the first part. When she came over, shed only heard the latter part. She couldnt guess the exact conversation. However, she could guess that the person who was on the phone with Han Qianye should be Madam Di Xin. As for Han Qianye saying that she already knew everything, so what did Han Qianye know? Li Xiwu was a little curious. At this moment, Han Qianyes voice sounded again. Give the phone to Yaoyao. I know Yaoyao isnt familiar with me, but please coax him a little. Ill just say a few words to him. Li Xiwus eyelids fluttered at the name of Yaoyao. Thinking that it was not good to eavesdrop, Li Xiwu raised her hand and was about to knock on the door frame a few times, trying to make a sound to let Han Qianye know that she was back. Just as she raised her hand, she heard Han Qianye shout, Grandson! Li Xiwu: Yaoyao on the other end of the line: Grandson, do you want to come back? If you want to come back, Ill come to Country T to pick you up, okay? Yaoyao on the other end of the line did not say a word. Han Qianye called for a few times and even wondered if Madam Di Xin had really given the phone to Yaoyao to answer. She thought about the DNA that had not been completed for a long time, and the thought of Madam Di Xin having no intention of coming to the capital again. If she had not taken the first DNA test result back then, she would not have cared where Yaoyao was. Now that she was sure that it was her biological grandson, Han Qianye could not ignore it. On the other end of the line, it was Madam Di Xin who answered. Yaoyao is solitary and doesnt usually talk. Han Qianye said, Yaoyao wont say a word to me, but I think hes clearly a chatterbox beside Xixi. Madam Di Xin said, Yaoyao will only be like this to the person he likes. If its not the person he likes, he wont say a word for three days. Han Qianye was surprised. Three days? Madam Di Xin told Han Qianye, Actually, three days is still the shortest. The highest record is that he didnt say a word for twenty-seven days. Han Qianye was stunned.. Chapter 275 - Chapter 275: Identity of Yaoyao Discovered by Li Xiwu Chapter 275: Identity of Yaoyao Discovered by Li Xiwu Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Madam Di Xin continued, Yaoyao ignored you. Not only did he ignore you, but he also ignores others. Sometimes, that includes me. This has long been a habit for me. Han Qianye sighed in her heart and felt even more sorry for her eldest grandson! He had never had parents by his side since he was young, and she could not be sure of Jingzhous attitude. Could it be that he really did not know that he had a son outside? Thats impossible! But what if Jingzhou didnt know? Han Qianye suddenly began to doubt her initial judgment. Madam Di Xin: Alright, I dont want to say anything else. I was just saying that I wont come to the capital. After a while, Ill return to Country T to settle some matters. After Im done, Ill come to the capital again. Han Qianye asked, When was that? Madam Di Xin said, Im really sorry, Qianye. I cant confirm with you when Ill come to the capital again, but it should be before New Years Day. Han Qianye expressed her understanding. Take care of yourself. Madam Di Xin said, Thank you for your concern. After ending the call, Han Qianye was silent for a moment. When she looked at the time again, it was past ten. Han Qianye closed her eyes. She had still delayed the live broadcast. She turned around and went in calmly. When she saw Li Xiwu coming out of the washroom, Han Qianyes heart tightened. When did Li Xiwu return? Auntie. When Li Xiwu saw Han Qianye coming in from the balcony, she walked towards her. Han Qianyes expression did not change, but she was a little flustered. She calmed herself down and asked, Xixi, when did you come back? Li Xiwu raised her hand to brush the hair out of her ear. I just got back and put on some makeup. Why didnt you get the makeup artist to do it for you? Han Qianye tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened. Li Xiwu smiled faintly. There wasnt much time. I didnt have time, but I didnt expect it to be too late when I finished doing the makeup. With that, Li Xiwu seemed to have thought of something and pointed at her lips. Auntie, I forgot to bring my lipstick. Can I borrow yours? Han Qianye: Li Xiwu looked at Han Qianyes stunned expression and thought that she might mind. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. The live broadcast has started. Lets go down first. With that, Li Xiwu picked up her phone and walked in front to wait for Han Qianye at the door. At this moment, Han Qianye was very flustered. She was guessing if Li Xiwu had deliberately tricked her. She remembered that Li Xiwu had two lipsticks in her makeup bag. She had chosen a lipstick that had been used more often to do a DNA test. She had put the remaining lipstick back untouched. With this in mind, Han Qianye looked at the bedside table. When she saw that the other lipstick she had forgotten to put back after choosing was now standing on the bedside cabinet, she gritted her teeth and scolded herself for being stupid! No, she had to destroy the evidence. Han Qianye quickly went over to pick up the lipstick on the bedside table. She looked at the trash can by her feet. It probably wouldnt do to throw it in like this. There was no trash in the trash can. She would see it when she came back later. Forget it. Shell put it in her pocket first. The live broadcast on the second day of the last episode had officially started. Every groups live-stream had already surged with millions of popularity. After Li Xiwu and Han Qianye appeared on screen, their popularity quickly soared. Today, every group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had separate live broadcasts. There was no need to live broadcast together. On the other hand, MO Yujin and Yu Heweis group could freely choose which group to travel with. MO Yujin chose Han Qianyes group without hesitation, which disappointed Min Hanrong. She thought that MO Yujin would be with her group. Yu Hewei stood quietly beside MO Yujin. Todays mission was very easy. Every group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to prepare a gift for the other party without spending any money. When she learned of this mission, Tao Jing pursed her lips and smiled secretly. Min Hanrong asked her what she was laughing about. Tao Jing said, I thought of the gift I prepared for you. Min Hanrong was surprised. Youre already prepared? Tao Jing nodded. Yes. [I suspect Tao Xiaojing read the script in advance!] [Not spending a single cent to prepare a gift for the other party? To be honest, I dont believe it. Are you going to gesture and show love?] [Other than gestures and hearts, its not bad to weave a garland of flowers by the roadside as a gift.] [A protective warning. You cant casually pick the flowers and plants in North Water Town.] [Tao Jings smile is so sweet. It feels like a good gift.] [Everyone is in different scenes. Im looking forward to how MO Yujin and Yu Hewei will get along.] Xiang Lan and Xu Muzhen had already set off. Xue Jinzhu was already unhappy at the thought of being alone with Tang Xian again. After Tao Jing and Min Hanrong set off, only Han Qianyes group and MO Yujin and Yu Hewei were left. Li Xiwu had yet to think of a suitable gift for Han Qianye. The key was that this gift could not cost her or the production team a single cent. It looked simple, but it was actually a test with some difficulty. Yu Hewei looked at the light makeup on Li Xiwus face and said deliberately, You didnt put on makeup today. Li Xiwu glanced sideways and replied, I did. Its lighter. Yu Heweis gaze landed on Li Xiwus lips. Although she had not applied lip gloss lipstick, Li Xiwus lips were not pale. They were a very light pink, but this way, they would not be visible on camera. Yu Hewei took out a flame-colored lipstick she carried in her coat pocket. Do you want to put it on? Li Xiwu looked at the lipstick Yu Hewei handed her and rejected it with a faint smile. No need. Im not used to wearing too bright a color. Yu Hewei saw that Li Xiwu had rejected her. Why dont you like gorgeous colors? Li Xiwu said, I cant control it. Yu Hewei unscrewed the lipstick cap. Try it. It might suit you. With that) Yu Hewei raised her other hand and grabbed Li Xiwus chin, pretending to apply lipstick for her personally. [Ahhh, is this something I can watch without spending money!] [Yu Hewei is too aggressive!] [Sister Li cant handle it at all.] [This Yu Hewei is too good at it. It would be amazing if she was a man.] [Wake up, everyone else. If Yu Hewei is really a man, shes already a mistress. Sister Li is married.] Li Xiwu felt that Yu Heweis behavior was too abrupt. Less than five seconds after Yu Hewei grabbed her chin, she removed Yu Heweis hand and rejected her coldly, No, thank you. Yu Hewei sneered and put away her lipstick to find another topic. Xiwu, Ive been paying attention to you. Ever since Xie Wen left Hua Guan, youve started to promote Ji Weiling. Recently, Ive noticed that Ji Weiling seems to have been sent to another company. I wonder if its as the rumors say, youve given up on Faced with this question, it seemed that no matter how she answered, it would be a trap. To avoid stepping deeper, Li Xiwu said directly, Yes, I give up on her. [Its very normal. The rules of the entertainment industry are worthless. Youll only be abandoned!] [Li Xiwu is so good to Xie Wen, but shes like a stepmother to Ji Weiling.] [I guess she cant withstand the pressure this time. Ji Weiling was scolded very badly.] [Its normal for Li Xiwu to give up on Ji Weiling.] [I feel that Li Xiwu hasnt achieved much in her career. Shes been in the industry for more than three years, but she hasnt promoted a single decent person..] Chapter 276 - Chapter 276: Calling her Mother-in-Law First as a Respect Chapter 276: Calling her Mother-in-Law First as a Respect Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Yu Hewei was not a public figure. She had been selected as a Mother-in-Law Joys fan to be on this show. There was nothing inappropriate about her bringing up these topics. If Li Xiwu didnt want to answer, she could choose not to. The production team would not stop Yu Hewei from asking any questions. The more casual they asked, the more realistic the show seemed. Youve suffered setbacks in your career. Do you think you can still be called Miss Li? As Yu Hewei asked this question in front of the entire Internet, the live comments were all on fire! [She hit the nail on the head. Yu Hewei really dares to ask!] [Yu Hewei has proven the authenticity of the show. In the second season, Li Xiwu and Han Qianyes group are the most popular. If they are too perfect, they will always be picked out.] [I feel that Yu Hewei is a fake fan. She cant be a spy sent by someone, right? Hahaha.] [This question is simply poking at Li Xiwus lifeline!] Li Xiwu was still calm. Even though Yu Heweis every word was openly and secretly provoking her! She took a shallow breath and said steadily, Its my duty to lead the artists well. Its not up to me to make the artists famous. As for the title you mentioned, its just a title. Whether theres such a title or not, Im still a manager. There was silence for a moment. Yu Hewei raised her eyes and looked ahead. When she spoke, her voice was slightly soft. Then have you ever thought that if you dont become a manager in the future, you will change to another profession? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. The future is still far away. Im short-sighted and havent planned for the future yet. Han Qianye and MO Yujin, who were walking behind, talked about beauty. In the past, Han Qianye had always chatted the happiest about such topics. Now, she was a little distracted. She glanced at Li Xiwu from time to time. When MO Yujin saw this, her lips curled up and she couldnt help but laugh. Originally, the number of times MO Yujin secretly looked at Li Xiwu was already very frequent. However, Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu more often than she did. At this point, she wished she could tie it to her belt. Qianye, MO Yujin called out casually. Han Qianye retracted her gaze. Whats wrong? MO Yujin asked, I remember you have a daughter? Han Qianye knew that MO Yujin was looking for a topic to chat about. Yes, I do have a daughter. MO Yujin asked, How old is your daughter? Han Qianye said, Twenty-two. MO Yujin asked, Does she have a boyfriend? Han Qianye hesitated when she answered. No Should be? Maybe? Probably? To be honest, Han Qianye really did not know if Pei Jiao had a boyfriend outside. After her daughter returned from overseas, she did not go to the company to train or find a job herself. She was either idle or busy all day. Although the Pei family was big and powerful, it was better not to spread the news that the children they nurtured did not want to improve. It was fine as long as she knew. After all, family scandals should not be aired in public. MO Yujin began to digress. You know that, right? I have a son. Han Qianye had yet to realize what MO Yujin was going to say. She nodded and said, I know. Otherwise, why would you be on this show! [Im dying of laughter. Brainless brain circuits always surprise people.] [I heard MO Yujins plan outside the screen.] [Han Qianye actually has a daughter? Then Ill call her mother-in-law first.] [I feel that Yu Hewei doesnt meet MO Yujins criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law.] [Yu Hewei has such a valiant personality. Its not easy to control her. I feel that she and MO Yujin are both talking about their own things on the show.] MO Yujin began to recommend herself. My son is 25 years old this year. Hes 1.85 meters tall and doesnt have any bad habits. Hes extroverted and has a stable job. He doesnt lack anything except a girlfriend. Han Qianye. MO Yujin continued, Im not sure what type he likes. Im not sure how many relationships hes had, but Im very sure hes single now. The company is under his control now, and his future is promising. Han Qianye: MO Yujin chuckled. This was the first time Han Qianye had seen such a wretched smile on MO Yujins face! She cleared her throat. So what are you going to do? MO Yujin patted Han Qianyes shoulder and said seriously, Why dont we become in-laws? Han Qianye waved her hand away. Im sorry, but my daughter has a betrothal. What era is it? Why was there a betrothal?! MO Yujins tone was rather straightforward. The child has already grown up. How can a childs engagement be anything? Are you sure your daughter is willing? That made sense. Actually, Han Qianye also felt that the arranged marriage with the Wei family back then probably did not count anymore. She was the only one who remembered it. She had never seen the Wei family take the initiative to mention this. [One second Im calling her mother-in-law, and the next its gone.] [The betrothal was too much. My parents also arranged a betrothal for me when I was three years old. In the end, the other party grew up and became disabled! I was so frightened that I went on a blind date. They were all better-looking than the betrothal.] [Speaking of which, MO Yujins son seems to be the CEO of the Qin Corporation?] [Damn, the Qin Corporation behind Ying Huang Entertainment? Another high-quality man at the top of the food chain. I wonder what Han Qianyes daughter looks like.] MO Yujin took out her phone. Ill push my sons WeChat to you. Push your daughters WeChat to me. Han Qianye said without thinking, Okay. Hence, the two of them quickly exchanged WeChat business cards. After Han Qianye received the WeChat name card from MO Yujin, she sent it to Pei Jiao. Han Qianye: Picture Han Qianye: This is the person your Auntie MO introduced to you. Han Qianye: Chat first. Well talk about the Wei family when we find them. At this moment, Pei Jiao, who was riding her motorcycle at the edge of the city, heard the frequent vibration of her phone in her pocket. Beikes helmet behind her was broken, and the windshield in front of him was gone. The wind was too strong, and he could not open his eyes. He could only bury his face in Pei Jiaos back. Slow down! Slow down! Ancestor! Its taking my life! Pei Jiao said, Women have to be fast! Beike: Fast my ass! Pei Jiao continued to speed up. The phone in my pocket is vibrating. Take it out and see who sent the message. Dont touch anywhere else or Ill beat your dog head up. Beike grimaced. Who asked you to wear such tight pants? So what! I like to be beautiful! Cut the crap and hurry up. It took Beike a lot of effort to take the phone out of Pei Jiaos tight pants Pei Jiao reminded him not to shake his hand. If he dropped her phone, he, Beike, would be dead. Beike thought, Isnt this more exciting than running for your life!? Chapter 277 - Chapter 277: Love Luck Chapter 277: Love Luck Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He knew Pei Jiaos password and unlocked it. Mom! Pei Jiao said, Aye. Beike: I said its a WeChat message from your mother. Pei Jiao said, I thought you were calling me. Bei Ke: She was really taking advantage of him all the time! Pei Jiao asked, What did my mother send? Its unlikely that she would call me home for dinner. Shes recording a show. She transferred my pocket money, right? How much did she transfer? Beike: Money, money, money. You only care about money. Your mother is introducing a boyfriend to you. Boyfriend? Yup! Dont I have a betrothal? Why is there another one? Does my mother think I have some ability to control two? If you really have some ability, take me to a safe place first. Tsk! Hold tight to the thinnest part of my body. Pei Jiao continued to pour oil with a majestic aura. Without another word, Beike tightened his arms around Pei Jiaos neck. The thinnest is here. Pei Jiao said, Damn you! You want to strangle me! Ten minutes later, Pei Jiao finally arrived at a relatively safe place with Beike. It was in an abandoned building. Beikes face was green and red from the wind, and the tip of his nose was almost out of steam. After getting down from the bike, he kept rubbing his hands to warm them up. Pei Jiao took off her helmet and placed it in front of the motorcycle. Then, she took off Beikes backpack and unzipped it. It was filled with stacks of cash. Pei Jiao said, You make it look like were robbing someone. Beike rubbed his hands and said while breathing, Its almost the same. After all, robbing peoples business is about the same as robbing money. Pei Jiao zipped it up. Screw you. Its all because of you this time. Im sorry. I made you suffer with me this time. Beike brushed away the fine bangs on his forehead, revealing his exquisite face. The tip of his nose was still red, looking like a delicate flower after a storm. However, he was a man. Pei Jiao wanted to curse a little, but when she saw Beikes face, she immediately swallowed her curses and said, Weve already gotten the money. Well split it later. Youre not allowed to fight for it. Beike: Can you take 70% and I take 30%? Pei Jiao said, Alright, lets split up like this. Bei Ke: F*ck! I was too anxious! If I had known, I would have said fifty-fifty! Pei Jiao was quite talented in computing. She had also come into contact with Beike on her way to self-learning. It had taken the two of them five years to become familiar friends from ordinary friends. But actually, Beike didnt do computers. He was just a runner. For example, sending certain specified goods to certain people, other than illegal and dead people, to get a commission. This time, Beike had mistakenly snatched the order from his peers. Because the commission was very high, Beike did not want to give up. After delivering the goods and getting the commission, he was stopped. He was no match for those people alone. He called Pei Jiao halfway through his escape. Pei Jiao borrowed a small electric scooter to save Beike. Unexpectedly, the electric scooter ran out of battery midway, so she could only select a motorcycle on the way and throw the other party 10 ,ooo yuan in cash before running away. This journey could be said to be dangerous and exciting. Although Pei Jiao looked so carefree when she got out of the car, her legs were actually trembling. She reached out to Beike. Beike was dumbfounded. What? Pei Jiao said, The phone. Oh, oh, your phone. Beike took out her phone from his pocket and returned it to Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao opened WeChat and opened the business card Han Qianye had sent her. Wasnt this Qin Zhuoning? Pei Jiao made a call. When Han Qianye picked it up, Pei Jiao asked, Mom, is the business card you pushed to me the boyfriend you introduced me to? Han Qianye picked up Pei Jiaos call under the live broadcast camera. Add each other first and chat. Pei Jiao said, I know Qin Zhuoning. Han Qianye asked, What? Pei Jiao said, Hes a friend of the God of Fortune. I met him a few times when I slipped away to ask the God of Fortune for money. The expression on Han Qianyes face instantly became much more interesting. How was your impression? Pei Jiao carefully recalled Qin Zhuoning. He was not as aloof as the God of Fortune, but he was not as funny as He Wang, nor was he as honest as He Wang. In summary, it was: I havent come into contact with him. I dont know. Im not sure. Han Qianye chuckled. Then you guys chat first. Knowing that Wei Yu was about to return to the country, Han Qianye specially reminded Jiaojiao to have a meal with him after he returned. However, the Wei family did not express anything from the beginning to the end. She did not know if Wei Yu had returned or not. Thinking about it carefully, MO Yujin was right. The Wei family probably did not value this betrothal, so why was she in a hurry to send her daughter to the Wei family? She ended the call. Pei Jiao was a little depressed. She had not even met Wei Yu whom she pressed down and kissed when she was young. Now, there was Qin Zhuoning. What a headache! The peach blossoms were so prosperous. Could they be exchanged for wealth? Pei Jiao opened Qin Zhuonings WeChat and pressed the voice message. Im Pei Jiao. My mother arranged for us to go on a blind date. Do you have any objections? If not, Ill treat you to a meal. With that, Pei Jiao let go of the voice message. Beikes faint voice came from the side. Pei Jiao, are you a man? Or is the other party a man? These words made Pei Jiao lose her confidence. She raised her hand and touched her chest. Hes a man. Thats right! Bei Ke looked at Pei Jiao and began to lecture her seriously. Hes a man. He should be the one to greet you first. This is the first time a man and a woman are meeting. Even if you want to treat a man to a meal, the man has to speak first. Dutch pay is fine, but you cant say that youre treating him first. Look at how worthless you are. Pei Jiao was speechless. She fell silent and pressed the tip of her tongue against her cheek. Beike leaned over. What are you thinking? Pei Jiao raised her hand to her chin. Im thinking that youre right. Bei Ke snapped his fingers. Youre worth teaching. Pei Jiao turned around and asked Beike seriously, This friend of the God of Fortune is also very rich. He runs his own company, and he seems to be quite innocent. Do you think I should earn some money from him to spend? Beike, as always, asked this every day, You clearly have a prominent family background. Why are you so short of money? Pei Jiao said, Im working so hard to earn money so that I wont have to work in the future! I want to live a retirement life in advance! I dont even want to step into my familys company! Beike suppressed the smile on his lips and forced himself not to laugh. Then how do you want to earn this money? Pei Jiao spread out her hands and said honestly, Ill lie to him and say that the company has some technical loopholes. The firewall needs to be reinforced or something. Ill work for him with my true ability. It shouldnt be a big deal to scam him a little more on account of our acquaintances, right? Your brain isnt working. Beike shook his head. Pei Jiao was speechless. Beike seriously suggested, In three sentences, it can let a man spend a million yuan for you. Pei Jiaos eyes widened. She dug her ears and leaned over. Tell me quickly. Beike cleared his throat. Yo, handsome. Youre so good at driving? You hit me so far! Pei Jiao didnt understand, but she felt that it was impressive. She placed a fist on Beikes chest. Its still you. Beike clutched his chest, almost suffering internal injuries.. Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: Li Xiwu Gain Something Without Risking Anything Chapter 278: Li Xiwu Gain Something Without Risking Anything Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On North Water Towns side. After MO Yujin and Han Qianye became closer, there were more topics to chat about than before. When they passed by the nail salon, the two of them even arranged to do a manicure together. This was not a gift, so they did not have to worry about not being able to pay for the manicure. In the end, both of them seemed to have forgotten about todays mission. Li Xiwu did not go to the nail salon. She had been thinking about what kind of gift to prepare for Han Qianye without spending money. It was really a mission that looked simple but was actually quite difficult. If it was too shabby, it would appear perfunctory. A present that was presentable required money. Yu Hewei looked at Li Xiwus frown and smiled teasingly. Are you in trouble? Li Xiwu looked at Yu Hewei. Her lips parted as if she wanted to say something. Her gaze passed the teahouse across the street behind Yu Hewei, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Yu Hewei raised her eyebrows. Looking at Li Xiwus expression, she must have found a way. She turned and looked in the direction Li Xiwu had been looking. Teahouse? Li Xiwu was going to the teahouse? What could she do at the teahouse? A few minutes later, Li Xiwu appeared at the door of the teahouse opposite. North Water Town was a scenic area. Most of the people who came here were North Water Town was a scenic area. Most of the people who came here were tourists. Although the cafes and teahouses everywhere on the street were not so dark, it was normal for them to be full. A few friends sat down to taste the tea ceremony and chat about life. There were too many people. Li Xiwu only glanced at them briefly before quickly retracting her gaze. She used her phone to navigate and found another tea shop. In the last house they found, there were some aunties and old men in their fifties or sixties sitting sparsely. Two of them sat down to play chess, three sat down to play long cards, and some were playing mahjong. Everyone had a cup of autumn tea and a plate of small melon seeds in their hands. The atmosphere was harmonious, but there was some tension. Probably because there were few people here and those aunties and uncles were old, they spoke loudly and laughed loudly. If they stayed here to drink tea, there would be no peace and quiet. There would only be liveliness. [What is Sister Li doing here?] [Its so noisy. That mahjong aunties laughter is so demonic!] [The two uncles sitting there playing chess are like old monks in meditation. Dont they think that Aunties voice is noisy?] [Goodbye. Ill go take a look at Miss Pig first. Its too noisy here.] Yu Hewei sized up the environment and felt a little disgusted. It was mainly because it was too noisy. And the smell of the old tobacco was too pungent for Yu Hewei to stand. She wondered what Li Xiwu was doing here. Seeing that Li Xiwu was about to enter, Yu Hewei grabbed her wrist. Are you really going in? Li Xiwu unobtrusively pulled her hand away from Yu Hewei. Yes. Yu Hewei frowned and asked in a slow tone, What are you going to do? Li Xiwu said, To complete todays mission. Then Li Xiwu turned and walked into the teahouse. Yu Hewei looked away and took a deep breath. In the end, she sighed and followed her in. The teahouse was owned by the boss. He did not hire any employees. As Li Xiwu entered, seven or eight people followed. Some of them were carrying cameras, and some were holding something the lady boss couldnt understand. In any case, such a scene was a little terrifying to the lady boss. She quickly slipped out of the back. I have a business license and a hygiene license. Well, business registration management is legal. This is a teahouse. Everyone plays cards and chess. Theres no gambling. Li Xiwu saw that the lady boss was explaining nervously. She guessed that they had scared the lady boss badly because there were many people coming in and they had cameras. She quickly explained, Were not from the Industrial and Commercial Administration. We record variety shows. The lady boss was still in disbelief. She asked cautiously, Recording a variety show? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. The lady boss stared at Li Xiwu carefully and suddenly clapped her hands. I remember now. Youre Brainless daughter-in-law in the Mother-in-law Joy, right? Li Xiwu was speechless. Fortunately, Han Qianye was not here. Li Xiwu nodded. My name is Li Xiwu. Yes, yes, yes. Her name is Li Xiwu. The lady bosss frightened expression slowly recovered. I knew it. The more I looked at you just now, the more familiar you looked. By the way, youve been recording a show in North Water Town recently, right? I didnt realize it was you at first. Li Xiwu smiled faintly in response. The lady boss eagerly pulled Li Xiwu inside and asked if they were borrowing the venue here today. The lady boss even said generously, You dont have to pay a single cent for borrowing me to record a show. After all, your appearance is already promoting my shop. Li Xiwu thanked the lady boss first and asked, Are you missing one out of three or two? The mahjong friends understood immediately, not to mention that the lady boss was an old friend. She immediately replied, Two missing one, how about it? Li Xiwu nodded. Okay. The lady boss was prepared to do it herself, and she was not restrained under the camera at all. It was probably because there had been no camera in her eyes. She even handed the task of guarding the door to the production team. Li Xiwu let Yu Hewei go. Yu Heweis lips twitched faintly. Ill look after the shop? The lady boss said loudly, Go, go. Ive already made the tea. When they call for more water later, go and refill it. Dont worry, Ill give you your salary. Yu Hewei: If anyone else ordered her around like this, Yu Hewei would have rolled her eyes. However, it was Li Xiwu who ordered her around. Yu Hewei went willingly and stood behind the cashier, becoming the temporary lady boss. Soon, the lady boss found another person and the three of them sat down to play mahjong. The staff had already guessed Li Xiwus intentions and knew that Li Xiwu was probably preparing to take advantage of the situation and win money at the card table to prepare gifts. However, the money used to play mahjong was also her money. It was equivalent to cheating. Hence, the staff went forward to remind her. Li Xiwu hadnt won any money yet, so she didnt dare to be too harsh. After all, there were many people better than her. What if she lost? So she only said, Ill play for a while. I want to be happy. Hearing Li Xiwus words, the staff retreated. [F*ck! Its already the last episode. I actually saw another side of Sister Li who was originally otherworldly!] [Li Xiwu instantly became very down-to-earth!] [I thought playing mahjong was all entertainment for my mother at her age.] [So Sister Li has also started to show off.] [Why do I feel that Li Xiwu is here to win money? If she wins, she can prepare a present for Brainless. But this is too much luck. Unless she wins in the first round and continues to play with the money she wins, its not against the rules.] [Haha, I dont know if I agree. Sister Li definitely wont be reliable when shes at the card table!] Even Yu Hewei suppressed a frown. She knew how to play mahjong? Has she really learned to play mahjong? Shed never touched any of this before. Who had taught her? No one would have thought that Li Xiwu, who originally did not look very reliable, would win in the first round. The lady boss kept praising Li Xiwus mahjong skills! As for the netizens who originally felt that the environment was too noisy and were about to slip away, they saw that the otherworldly Li Xiwu actually sat down and played mahjong. This scene was too rare. Her popularity did not decrease at all. Instead, it increased rapidly! In the end, Li Xiwu relied on the money she had won in the first round to win more than 200 yuan after playing a few rounds! The lady boss could take the loss and had no intention of stopping. As the winner, Li Xiwu couldnt just call it a day. Fortunately, the other big sister left in a hurry because she had lost so much. Even though the lady boss had lost money, she was still happy. She kept smiling until her teeth were visible and even said that she wanted to treat everyone to a meal. She was very generous. Li Xiwu smiled and declined. She put away the money she had won and prepared to get up to buy Han Qianye a gift. At this moment, someone else sat down in the seat left behind by the big sister. I think you two are short of one. Im a little old. I wonder if you mind? The lady boss said, I dont mind. You can be a hundred years old as long as you can read the cards. Its just that shes here to record a show. Shes going back now. As she spoke, the lady boss pointed at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu looked up at the same time at the old lady sitting opposite her. Its her Chapter 279 - Chapter 279: Li Xiwu Is From a Noble Family Chapter 279: Li Xiwu Is From a Noble Family Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was the noble old lady in the car! They had met once. It was the old lady she had met at the entrance of the hotel when Li Xiwu returned to the hotel in the morning. At that time, she had only taken a quick glance. She did not expect to meet her again under such circumstances! Although it was unexpected, there was no such thing as a coincidence. The old lady probably wouldnt appear in front of her twice for no reason, especially since the old lady traveled in a luxury car worth tens of millions. She wouldnt come to an old teahouse like this even if she wanted to drink tea. It didnt match her status. As she was lost in thought, the old lady asked, Youre recording a show? Will I be on the show now? Li Xiwu came back to her senses. Yes, its Mother-in-Law Joys live broadcast. Guan Suling smiled gently and raised her hand to stroke her bun. Her movements were elegant, and she was trying her best to maintain her best demeanor. The staff were all watching Li Xiwu play mahjong just now. Other than Yu Hewei, no one noticed when Guan Suling came in. Until Guan Suling appeared in front of the camera and the entire Internet saw her. [Is this old lady a passerby? She looks so noble.] [Shes dressed so elegantly. She probably wont come to such an alley teahouse. Could it be arranged by the production team?] [She looks familiar. I cant remember. Look again.] [The last episode is something. It feels more exciting than the previous episodes.] [When I saw this old lady, I suddenly thought of Madam Di Xin, who appeared in the second episode. I feel that this noble old lady also has a background.] Seeing that this old woman had the intention of joining in, the lady boss turned to ask Li Xiwu, You seem to be in a hurry. Will it take up your time if you continue playing? Li Xiwu raised her hand to her wristwatch. Actually, there was still time. She had spared the extra time to pick out a suitable gift for Han Qianye. If she played a little longer, it would not take up too much of her time. She could still refuse if the other party was a young man, but the other party was an old lady. After thinking for a moment, Li Xiwu put down the money she had just won. We were playing Sichuan-style mahjong just now. What do you usually do? The lady boss continued Li Xiwus words. Sister, there are 108 cards and 136 and 144 cards. Guan Suling sat upright. Lets play the same game as before. Li Xiwu hadnt thought about whether the old lady could play or not. She felt that since she was participating, she should be an old player, so she replied, Okay. This time Li Xiwu was even more cautious than before. She wasnt sure the old ladys card skills were exquisite. If the old lady was an experienced person, she might not be able to keep her money. She would give it a try first. If she could not stabilize it, she would stop early and guarantee that the remaining fifty yuan would be enough. However, what Li Xiwu was careful about did not happen. The old lady had been feeding her cards, and this feeding method made Li Xiwu uncertain. Did the old lady not know how to play cards, or did she deliberately feed her cards, or was she too old to see clearly? After a few rounds, the two hundred yuan that Li Xiwu had originally won increased to more than five hundred. She suddenly became a little rich lady! Guan Suling, who had been losing and had only won a few times, finally pushed the cards in front of her and said with a smile, Im not playing anymore. Im not very lucky. The lady boss was a smart person. She looked at the money in front of her that had not changed much. Sister, I dont think youre unlucky. Ive been playing cards for more than twenty years. Ive seen you feeding Li Xiwu cards for the past few rounds. [Seriously, the lady boss said what was on my mind.] [At first, I thought that Sister Lis luck was so good that it exploded. This time, why do I feel that that old lady deliberately fed Sister Li cards?] [Haha, is it possible that Old Madam is Sister Lis fan!] [Sister Li won big today!] [Sister Li is really likable wherever she goes.] [Ever since Mother-in-Law Joy started her live broadcast, Li Xiwu has left the deepest impression on me. Shes really like a young lady from a prestigious family.] [There are still people who defamed Li Xiwu because of her background. Is it really important that I dont know about her background? She might not even have Li Xiwus self-restraint.] Guan Suling listened to the lady bosss straightforward words and replied casually, It might not be bad luck, but old age. My eyes are blurry, but as long as you have fun, it doesnt matter if you lose or win. The lady boss teased, Even if youre old and blind, you have to be fair. You feed Li Xiwu cards every time. Ive never seen you feed your cards to me. Guan Suling raised her hand and stroked her hair. Her every move was noble and elegant. If theres a chance, lets play cards together again. How about next to you? The lady boss looked at the old ladys full aura and restrained her tone. Anything is fine. Li Xiwu counted the winnings. There were more than five hundred and eighty dollars. In the game of entertainment, the wins and losses would naturally not be especially big. Moreover, Li Xiwu could win so much this time because Guan Suling kept feeding her cards. The lady boss was in an especially good mood today. She even gave Yu Hewei a salary of 20 yuan. Yu Hewei held the twenty yuan in her hand, feeling a little subtle. After bidding farewell to the lady boss, Li Xiwu came out of the teahouse and prepared to buy a gift. As soon as she stepped out, she heard the lady bosss voice ask someone, Why are you crying? Li Xiwu stopped short. She turned to look and saw the old lady who had lost the money to her. She was standing there with red eyes, as if she were crying. Now the lady boss was asking her why she was crying. This was not something Li Xiwu should ask about. The two of them had only met by chance. But for some reason, Li Xiwu still walked uncontrollably towards the old lady. The lady boss stepped back and said, I dont know what happened. As soon as you left, her eyes turned red. Li Xiwu looked concerned. She leaned over slightly and lowered her head to speak to the old lady. Are you feeling unwell, or is it because Guan Suling raised her hand to stroke the side of her face. My teeth hurt. Li Xiwu wanted to say if it was because she had lost money, but the old lady shouldnt be short of money. She was indeed thinking too much. Hearing the old lady say that she had a toothache, Li Xiwu asked about some symptoms of pain. Is it a wave or a persistent soreness? Guan Suling said, It came in waves. Li Xiwu thought of two ways. Her colleague, who had a toothache in the past, had used them. Can you bite pepper raw? If you cant accept raw pepper, you can try to buy a bottle of ice water and apply it cold to the place where your cheek hurts. Otherwise, you have to go to the dentist. Just as she finished, she saw the old lady cry. For a moment, Li Xiwu was at a loss. She guessed that the old lady was crying because her teeth hurt too much. It seemed that biting raw pepper and cold compresses wouldnt work. It hurt too much. Li Xiwu found a pack of tissues in her pocket, pulled one out, and wiped the old ladys tears. Guan Suling held Li Xiwus wrist. My Li Xiwu bent down again and leaned closer to Guan Suling.. She asked softly, Your what? Chapter 280 - Chapter 280: I’m Going To Acknowledge Li Xiwu Today Chapter 280: Im Going To Acknowledge Li Xiwu Today Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Guan Sulings lips moved as if she wanted to say something. When she held Li Xiwus wrist, she even kept trembling slightly. She was clearly very agitated. In the eyes of Li Xiwu and the others, they all thought that the old ladys tooth hurt too much. Li Xiwu took out her phone to navigate to the nearby hospital. When she found a hospital within eight hundred meters, Li Xiwu said, Ill get you a car and drive you to the hospital to get your teeth checked. Do you think its okay? Guan Suling barely calmed herself down to avoid losing her composure. My toothache is an old problem. Ill be fine after a while. Thats what she said, but to Li Xiwu, she felt that this was not a situation that could be resolved after a while. After all, the old lady was in so much pain that tears fell. [I feel that the old ladys expression when she looks at Li Xiwu doesnt seem to be because of a toothache.] [I also feel that the expression on the old ladys face when she looked at Li Xiwu is not a toothache at all. Is it heartache?] [The more this old lady looks at it, the more familiar she looks. I went to look at Mother-in-Law Joys post on Weibo. Someone recognized this old lady. Shes actually Guan Suling, a noble!] [Guan Suling? Damn! Is this for real??] [Back then, when MO Yujin first debuted in filming, she was guarded by guards. No one in the entertainment industry dared to provoke her. Later on, when MO Yujins identity was exposed, they realized that her mother was Guan Suling!] [What kind of physique does Li Xiwu have? She met Madam Di Xin before, and now she meets Guan Suling!] [There are benefactors everywhere. Is Li Xiwus life related to the Ziwei Star?] [No wonder many people are envious of Li Xiwus life. She came from a lowly background and could still marry into a wealthy family. Her husband doted on her, and her mother-in-law treated her well. After crossing ranks, she met all the nobles around her.] Guan Suling was afraid that Li Xiwu would be too worried and that she would lose her composure. It doesnt hurt as much as before. Its much better. Thank you for your concern. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Since youre much better, take care to rest more and stay in a good mood. I have to go first. Guan Suling was a little reluctant. She had already confirmed that Li Xiwu was her Little You. Little You, who had been missing for four years, was her biological granddaughter. Guan Suling wanted to hug her so much. She was also afraid that her behavior would scare her or cause her discomfort and revulsion. She told herself there was no hurry, at least not yet. If she admitted that she was Little Yous grandmother now, Little You would probably not accept her family. Seeing that the group was getting further and further away, Guan Suling raised her hand to wipe the muddy tears from the corners of her eyes. Retracting her gaze, Guan Suling called out calmly, Dao Xi. There was an ordinary car parked on the street outside the tea shop. Dao Xi pushed open the door and got out, followed by two bodyguards. Dao Xi walked over and stood respectfully behind Guan Suling. Old Madam. Guan Suling turned around, her expression returning to its usual seriousness. Wheres Yujin? Dao Xi said, Missy and Mrs. Pei are doing their nails together. Guan Sulings expression darkened. Little You is thinking of ways to earn money to prepare a gift for her outside. But what is that Han Qianye doing? Hmph. Dao Xi ducked his head. Guan Suling said, Call Yujin over to see me. Dao Xi answered. Ill contact Missy immediately. Wait a minute, Guan Suling said. Tell Yujin that I plan to acknowledge Little You today and get Xu Qing to prepare. Dao Xi nodded. Understood. At the same time, at the nail salon. Not long ago, Han Qianyes visit surprised and flattered the lady boss of the nail salon. Coincidentally, the lady boss was also a fan of Mother-in-Law Joy. Knowing that Mother-in-Law Joys production team had come to North Water Town to record recently, the lady boss slipped away to watch the show like everyone else. She did not expect this production team to come to her nail salon today. The lady boss expressed that she wanted to do their manicures for free. Han Qianye discussed, Im a nail enthusiast. Ive done a lot of nails and am already familiar with the process of making nails. I also have some painting skills. Ill help you receive guests. How about you give me a commission? According to your fee, Ill take 20% and youll take 80%. The lady bosss eyes widened. Thats too much of a loss for you. Fifty-fifty will do. The lady boss had been busy just now and did not have time to watch the live broadcast. She did not know what the mission of the variety show was this time. After understanding it, she realized that it was because both parties could not spend their own money and the production teams money to prepare a gift. Han Qianye had suggested this discussion because she wanted to earn money from the nail salon to prepare a gift for Li Xiwu. Even the netizens understood. [Brainless and Unhappy are two sides of the same coin.] [Sister Li won money from playing mahjong to prepare gifts for Han Qianye. Han Qianye worked part-time to earn money to buy gifts for Li Xiwu.] [I can be single, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couple Im on must not collapse!] [All living beings are bitter. Only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couple Im idolizing tastes like strawberries. Hahaha.] No way. Han Qianye was still very clear about her standards. Im not a professional. Fifty-fifty isnt appropriate. If I dont do it well, Ill pay for it myself. How about this? It had to be said that this discussion surprised the lady boss. With Han Qianye presiding over it, any guest who knew Han Qianye would definitely want to experience the nails Han Qianye had personally made. Therefore, they quickly reached a cooperation. MO Yujin gave Han Qianye a thumbs up. Not bad, Qianye. This must be your first time working for someone. Han Qianye thought for a moment. Its really my first time. Shed never worked for anyone in her life, and shed never been paid. Just as MO Yujin had said, today was the first time in her life that she had worked for someone to collect her salary. The next guests who came in one after another were all here for Han Qianye. MO Yujin thought that it had nothing to do with her, but the group photo kept her busy. In the end, Han Qianye manicured the three girls. After many years of experience in making nails, Han Qianyes three nails were very successful. Although the style was simple, the patterns on the nails were carefully drawn by Han Qianye herself. According to the 20-80 split, Han Qianye earned 180 yuan in the end. When she received the 180 yuan, Han Qianye sighed. This is the first money Ive earned in my life. MO Yujin looked at Han Qianye and sighed. Dont you feel a sense of accomplishment? Han Qianye put away the 180 yuan happily. Ive never done nails for anyone else. This is the first time Ive done it for someone else. Its a sense of accomplishment. Its alright, but as long as I think about how I earned this money to spend, I feel very accomplished. MO Yu smiled. Not bad. Youve earned money with your hard work. Then what gift do you plan to prepare for your daughter-in-law? Han Qianye waved the money in her hand. Ill spend as much as I earn until Im done. MO Yujins phone rang. She took out her phone and saw that it was Dao Xi. There was no need to avoid answering Dao Xis call. MO Yujin picked it up just like that. Unexpectedly, as she swiped past to answer the call, her fingertips accidentally touched the speakerphone. Dao Xis voice came out Miss, Old Madam asked me to inform you that she plans to acknowledge Miss Li today.. Chapter 281 - Chapter 281: The Whole Internet Knows They Know Each Other chapter 281: the whole internet knows they know each other translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the voice on speaker was neither loud nor soft. han qianye was holding the 180 yuan in her hand and had yet to put it into her pocket. when she heard mo yujins words on the phone, her smug movements froze and she suddenly turned to look at her. mo yujin quickly turned off the speakerphone that she had accidentally opened. ahem! dao xi heard mo yujin cough on the other end of the line and knew that it was probably inconvenient for her to continue answering the phone, so he quietly hung up first. mo yujin heaved a sigh of relief, but before she could heave a sigh of relief, she was immediately shocked by han qianye what did he just say? han qianye narrowed her eyes and asked in a threatening tone. mo yujin was very flustered. after all, she had promised han qianye yesterday that she would not do anything rash. but her mother couldnt wait to acknowledge little you. there was nothing she could do mo yujin swallowed hard and pretended to be nonchalant. sigh! i didnt tell you about the call from my mother, right? actually, my mother is li xiwus fan. she watches mother-in-law joy every day and knows that im on this show. she wants to get to know li xiwu in private through me. han qianye did not think that she had heard wrongly. however, it was not appropriate to say too much about this in the live broadcast) so she could only take a step back. i see. the smile on mo yujins lips stiffened a little as she answered, yes. neither of them realized that the netizens had heard what had just been said on the phone. although most netizens did not hear it very clearly, after some sharp-eared netizens heard that sentence clearly, they posted it on the public screen. now, millions of netizens knew what was coming from the phone. the netizens who had activated gods vision could not remain calm- [i cant laugh anymore. doesnt mo yujin know that her mother is already on the show?] [not only did mo yujins mother see li xiwu, but she has also sat down and played mahjong with li xiwu a few times. the entire internet knows that they know each other.] [the voice coming from the phone is clearly a mans voice. could it be that miss li is referring to li xiwu?] [im curious why she acknowledged li xiwu? isnt li xiwu an orphan?] [just now, on sister lis live broadcast, i felt that guan suling looked at li xiwu as if she was looking at her family! i wonder if its my imagination!] [no way. what does li xiwu have to do with the mo family?] [isnt li xiwus scamming speed too fast? she immediately scammed the mo family?!] the heated discussion quickly became mother-in-law joys superfan. the current discussion level was not high enough to be trending. however, many people were reposting the video that the netizens had posted and guessing the sentence that came out of mo yujins call. at that moment, li xiwu took her winnings to a cake shop. it took time to order the cake, so li xiwu bought a ready-made mousse cake. it was originally estimated to be six inches in size, but considering that although the cake was a gift for han qianye and would be shared with everyone in the end, li xiwu bought an eight-inch mousse cake. that way, everyone could taste it. the lady boss was wrapping the mousse cake. li xiwu stood there and waited patiently. yu hewei walked to her side. the cake has a high sugar content. its easy to increase blood sugar and cause diabetes. li xiwu: the lady boss, who couldnt stand it anymore, turned her head and said, a persons life is very short. theres no need to make things difficult for yourself. yu hewei crossed her arms. im just stating the facts. li xiwu pointed into the glass window. it was a separate mousse cake. after winning money today, i wanted to buy you a mousse to thank you for accompanying me, but you said cake is prone to diabetes. why dont we forget it? yu hewei lowered her arms and said seriously, i was just joking. li xiwu said, hmm? yu hewei pointed at the mousse cake in the glass window. i want that mousse li xiwu pressed her fingertips against her chin and her lips curved slightly. i remember you saying that too much sugar in a cake can easily cause diabetes. yu hewei said, im talking nonsense. li xiwu raised her eyebrows. this could not be nonsense. its misleading if it is. this time, it was yu heweis turn whos speechless. cake could easily cause diabetes. that meant that if one ate too much, there was a chance of such a risk. yu hewei felt that she had nothing to say and had shot herself in the foot. in her frustration, she heard li xiwu say to the lady boss, lady boss, please store this mousse cake alone. the lady boss smiled and agreed. then, she looked up at yu hewei, who was standing beside li xiwu. is she your sister? yu hewei said, i seeing that yu hewei wanted to say something but hesitated, the lady boss said, let me tell you, girls have to be arrogant in front of boys. in front of your own sister, just say what you want. she understands you. others wont. yu hewei was stunned when she said, she understands you. then, she looked at li xiwu. li xiwu was bending down to see which more exquisite cakes were in the window. she only smiled at the lady bosss words just now. yu hewei was her good friend in the past, but without her previous memories, yu hewei was just an ordinary friend to her now. she did not know that yu hewei was looking at her. until a figure suddenly jumped in and pounced, hugging li xiwu. sister lv xue jinzhu hugged li xiwu. because the impact just now was too great, li xiwus body leaned forward inertia. after stabilizing herself, she turned to look at xue jinzhu. xue jinzhu smiled so widely that her teeth were visible. what a coincidence. i didnt deliberately look for you, but when i passed by here, i saw the production team standing at the entrance of this cake shop. i bet auntie tang that you must be here. haha, i guessed right! li xiwus lips curved. which way did you come? xue jinzhu pointed in a direction. that way. li xiwu looked at the door. wheres auntie tang? shes slowly walking over from behind. i ran over. xue jinzhu chuckled. sister li, look, im running towards you. li xiwu quite liked to see xue jinzhus cute side. beside her, yu hewei reminded her, can you stop hugging her like this? im hugging sister li, not you. hmph! xue jinzhu pouted and snorted, hugging li xiwu tightly. yu hewei closed her eyes. forget it. she turned her face away. xue jinzhu whispered into li xiwus ear, is the gift sister li prepared for auntie han a cake? how did you get the money? yes, a cake, li xiwu answered without being perfunctory. i went to play mahjong and won a little money. xue jinzhus expression changed. mahjong! ! li xiwu calmly raised her hand to her lips. ahem! at the mention of mahjong, xue jinzhus heart itched. her favorite entertainment was mahjong. moreover, she knew how to play many cards. recently, in order to record the show, she had not touched much mahjong. but she was going to debut as a celebrity. she couldnt say that she liked to play mahjong. she could only ask a few questions out of curiosity. li xiwu told the truth. my luck is fine.. Chapter 282 - Chapter 282: Li Xiwu Discovered Something chapter 282: li xiwu discovered something translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations she couldnt just say that an old lady had gone easy on her to win so much money. if she said that on camera, indicating that she had still won the old ladys money knowingly, it would definitely be controversial on the topic. to avoid these controversies, it was better not to mention them. its so lively. tang xian carried a small cage in. li xiwu turned around and saw that tang xian had arrived. noticing that there was a kitten in the small cage in tang xians hand, she asked, did you just buy this kitten? tang xian smiled helplessly. jinzhu picked up a kitten by the roadside and gave it to me. li xiwu turned to look at xue jinzhu. xue jinzhu chuckled. i was just thinking about preparing a gift when this little stray cat appeared. it was very thin and pitiful. it felt like it was only two months old. i spent money to buy a cage and give it to auntie tang. li xiwu: tang xian actually liked small animals, especially kittens and puppies. at that time, she had also seen this little stray cat by the roadside. it was quite pitiful. she wondered if she should send it to the rescue station. unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, xue jinzhu picked up the kitten and handed it to her. auntie tang, i caught this kitten myself. im giving it to you. you must take good care of it. at that time, tang xian was speechless. however, this was a gift from xue jinzhu. she gritted her teeth and accepted the cat with a smile. the kitten was very obedient. after entering the cage, it did not meow all the time. it was quiet, making tang xian like this gift more and more. they all came out of the cake shop. no one would gather for lunch today. if they met, they could accompany each other. xue jinzhu and tang xian both had the intention of having lunch together. yu hewei carried the mousse cake that li xiwu had bought for her and did not say anything. li xiwu naturally had no objections. li xiwu called han qianye and saw that there were candied hawthorn sellers by the roadside. li xiwu bought a stick. xue jinzhu saw it and said that she wanted it too. li xiwu also bought it for her. she looked at the others around her and in the end, li xiwu bought a stick of candied hawthorn for everyone, including the staff. there was enough cake and candied hawthorn. everyone had this, but li xiwu was afraid that han qianye would think that she didnt put in the effort. so when she saw a cotton candy seller, li xiwu went to buy another cotton candy. girls liked these. xue jinzhu also bought them, and then yu hewei went to buy them too. li xiwu: this time, li xiwu walked behind. when she saw the sugar painting, she went to buy a sugar painting. this time, no one else bought it with her. li xiwu was satisfied. finally, this was a gift that belonged to han qianye alone. she met another old lady selling gloves she made herself. it looked to be of good quality and very warm, so li xiwu bought a pair of gloves. xue jinzhu didnt buy them because she thought they were ugly, and no one else did. there was another gift that belonged to han qianye alone. thats nice. a few minutes later, everyone gathered at the entrance of a small restaurant. han qianye bought many things, including flowers, hats, and scarfs. they were all cheap and practical things. when she saw li xiwu, she stuffed them all to her. i didnt know what you liked, so i bought a copy of everything i liked. i didnt earn much today, but i spent it all for you. han qianye thought that she was the only one who broke the rules and did not follow the rules and only gave one gift. little did she know that li xiwu, like her, had bought cake, marshmallows, sugar, and a pair of gloves. they were sweet and warm this winter. [i love brainless and unhappy! hahaha!] [ive watched both sides of the live broadcast at the same time. han qianye really spent all her money to buy gifts for li xiwu, and li xiwu has been choosing gifts that belong to han qianye.] [its hard not to love this wave.] [i like people like li xiwu and han qianye in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.] [who would have thought that when brainless and unhappy on the first day of the live broadcast, they were the least expected mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? now, theyre the best mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.] li xiwu handed the gloves to han qianye. i met an old lady who makes her own gloves. the style is very cute. the latter sentence was: maybe the quality wasnt very good. saying it out loud would spoil the mood. the 500 yuan was only left with 100 yuan, mainly because the mousse cake was very expensive. out of the 100 yuan, 60 yuan was spent to buy this pair of gloves. they were very thick and cute. they were indeed not worth mentioning compared to the gloves that cost thousands or tens of thousands at han qianyes house, but it was fine as long as they were warm. she was a little worried that han qianye did not like it. however, she did not expect that after giving it to han qianye, she immediately put on gloves and gestured with her hands. does it look good? li xiwu suppressed a smile. it looks good. han qianye took out the beret she had bought. come, lower your head. li xiwu did as she was told, leaning over and looking down. han qianye put this beret on li xiwu. li xiwus skull was high and was suitable for wearing all kinds of hats. this beret looked very good on her head. then, she continued to put a scarf on li xiwu. in the end, she plucked one of the flowers she had bought and pinned it on li xiwus hat. according to han qianyes aesthetic standards, she would definitely not put it on directly. she had to find a suitable and beautiful angle. in a few moves, she made li xiwu change her style. on closer look, she felt that something was missing. right! lipstick! li xiwu wasnt wearing lipstick today! han qianye touched her pocket and took out a lipstick. she unscrewed the lipstick cap and applied it to li xiwu. li xiwu did not refuse. this scene made yu heweis teeth ache. she took a deep breath and looked away. beside her, xue jinzhu watched with relish. she rested her chin on her hands and said enviously, sister li and auntie han have a good relationship. auntie han simply dotes on sister li like a daughter. tang xian echoed, yes. xue jinzhu said, i feel that auntie han and sister li are destined to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. tang xian was about to agree. uh xue jinzhu turned around and leaned closer to tang xian. isnt that so, auntie tang? tang xian pursed her lips. yes. xue jinzhu beamed. after han qianye finished applying lipstick on li xiwu, li xiwu realized that the lipstick han qianye had applied on her looked so much like her missing lipstick. han qianyes heart skipped a beat when she saw li xiwu staring at the lipstick in her hand. shes finished! what the hell! she had used li xiwus lipstick she had secretly taken from her! han qianyes mind went blank for a few seconds before she quickly thought. do you find this lipstick familiar? li xiwu said, yes. han qianye said, i think your color number is good-looking. i bought a similar color number too. on the surface, li xiwu believed her, but in her heart, she did not. this should be the lipstick she had lost for no reason. the last time she applied it, the tip of the lipstick had hit her front teeth and was missing a small piece. the one in han qianyes hand was also missing a small piece. they were all in that position. the amount was exactly the same. it couldnt be such a coincidence. han qianye had thousands of lipsticks. naturally, she did not take her lipstick because she wanted to use it.. then why did she take her lipstick? to test for dna? Chapter 283 - Chapter 283: Seek Help from Li Xiwu chapter 283: seek help from li xiwu translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations han qianye felt very guilty. especially after li xiwu looked thoughtful, she regretted being too hasty this time. if she had known, she would have waited until after tonight to find li xiwus hair on the pillow. why did she have to be in such a hurry to get her lipstick! now, she has exposed herself first! li xiwu was so smart. once she suspected buzz, buzz, buzz. it was li xiwus phone vibrating. han qianye quickly reminded her, xixi, your phone is vibrating. li xiwu temporarily put aside the messy guesses in her mind and picked up her phone. seeing the caller id, li xiwu hesitated for a moment before answering. miss li, save me li xiwu frowned. what? qi zishen is at my house beep, beep, beep there was no time to explain anything other than the words miss li, save me and qi zishen is at my house. the line went dead. li xiwu took down the phone and stared at the screen for a few seconds before calling back. there was no answer. she called back three times, but there was no answer. it was as if she had never called before. li xiwu took a deep breath and focused on the screen. han qianye saw that li xiwus expression was a little off and asked with concern, whats wrong? li xiwu said, the other party called the wrong number. li xiwus expression was calm as she said this. coupled with the fact that the camera couldnt see li xiwus phone screen when she answered the call just now, the netizens couldnt tell who li xiwu had answered. han qianye felt that it wasnt a wrong number. otherwise, why would li xiwus gaze change after answering the call? but it didnt matter whose call it was. now that li xiwu had been distracted, she probably wouldnt think about the lipstick anymore. han qianye heaved a sigh of relief. the food in the small restaurant was very authentic. everyone sat down one after another. li xiwu also pulled out a chair for han qianye and mo yujin. mo yujin was overjoyed. when she looked at li xiwu, her expression was unbelievably gentle. if the netizens had not witnessed mo yujin wanting to become in-laws with han qianye, they would have thought that mo yujin liked li xiwu. xue jinzhu asked li xiwu, sister li, what drink do you want? li xiwu was in a daze and did not hear xue jinzhu. at first, no one noticed li xiwu. even after xue jinzhu shouted twice, li xiwu still did not react. everyones gaze landed on her. han qianye gently touched li xiwus arm with her elbow. xixi? li xiwu suddenly came back to her senses. huh? han qianye smiled. xue jinzhu asked you what drink you wanted to drink just now. li xiwu looked at han qianye and said unhurriedly, president qi is looking for me to discuss something important. i originally wanted to go over after lunch, but ive been thinking about this matter. i probably cant calm down during lunch. ill go over and settle it first. you guys eat first. with that, li xiwu picked up the phone on the table and immediately stood up. han qianye quickly stopped li xiwu. why dont you eat before dealing with things? li xiwus expression was calm. its important. eat first. ill call you when i get back. han qianye was afraid that li xiwu would forget to eat when she was busy with work and go hungry. however, seeing how anxious li xiwu was, especially when she thought of the look in li xiwus eyes after she answered the call just now, it must be as she said. there was something very important that needed to be dealt with. han qianye did not persuade her anymore. she only said, be careful on the way. li xiwu agreed. okay. mo yujin asked worriedly, are you driving yourself? why dont i get a car to take you? li xiwu wanted to borrow a car from the director. she had already driven it once last time. this time, when mo yujin took the initiative to mention it, li xiwu did not refuse. thank you. thats not a problem. mo yujin opened her phone and made a call. after a few simple instructions, mo yujin looked up and said to li xiwu, alright, the car will be here soon. remember the license plate number, 9999. itll take two minutes at most. li xiwu pursed her lips. she had seen such a domineering license plate number before. it was 8888. that was pei jingzhous license plate number. as expected of the mo family in the capital. xue jinzhu rested her chin on her hands and said obediently, sister li, come back early. okay. li xiwu turned to leave. after li xiwu left, yu hewei sat quietly for a moment before getting up. im going to the bathroom. no one took it seriously and began to eat with their chopsticks. the car was coming fast. not even two minutes passed. li xiwu had just come out of the small restaurant when the rolls-royce with the number 9999 parked there waiting for her. at first glance, li xiwu thought the car looked familiar. somewhat unsure, though, because she hadnt looked at the license plate number at the time. time was pressing. she didnt have time to think about it. the driver opened the door for her. after the car drove away, another car slowly drove over. guan suling asked, did yujin say where little you is going? dao xi said, missy said its about miss lis work. its more important and needs her to deal with it. guan suling said, drive. wait a minute! there was a knock on the car window. guan suling glanced sideways and saw yu hewei standing outside the car door. she pressed the button on the side of her hand and the car window slowly lowered. speak. yu hewei didnt like old madam mos arrogant attitude. wasnt it just an old princess? the qing dynasty era is long gone. yu hewei said, give me a ride. guan suling looked up at yu hewei. with my car? yu hewei said, yes. guan suling said in a lukewarm voice, is this an attitude of begging? yu hewei said, please give me a ride. guan suling looked away. get in. yu hewei walked around the back of the car and got in from the other side. she sat beside guan suling. on the way, yu hewei took the initiative to talk. old madam, youre here to look for little wuyou, right? guan suling was taking a nap with her eyes closed. its not your turn to ask about the mo familys matters. yu hewei sneered. unfortunately, little wuyou doesnt remember you now. guan sulings voice turned cold. restrain yourself in front of me. yu hewei supported her chin with one hand. old madam, even if you find little wuyou, she wont remember you. youre a grandmother in name to her. the so-called acknowledgement is only touching you. why dont you think of a way to restore her memory?! her words were bewitching. guan su was so agile at this age. if she could not even tell this little trick, she would have lived her life in vain! guan suling slowly opened her eyes. dao xi. dao xi motioned for the driver to slow down and pull over. guan suling raised her hand slightly. get out of the car. the smile on yu heweis lips stiffened slightly. old madam, what do you mean? guan suling looked at yu hewei coldly. get out! yu hewei said, i guan suling said, get lost.. Chapter 284 - Chapter 284: Li Xiwu, Don ‘t Be Too Arrogant! chapter 284: li xiwu, don t be too arrogant! translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations there was no doubt about guan sulings attitude. yu hewei took a deep breath, trying to ease guan sulings anger. i shouldnt have mentioned this. it was her show of weakness. she thought that since she had already lowered her attitude and given this way out, guan suling would probably go along with it. however, she overestimated guan sulings attitude. i wont repeat my words a third time. if you want to be thrown out of the car, dont blame me for being rude! dao xi had already gotten out of the car and walked around the front of the car to yu heweis side. he opened yu heweis door. miss yu, please. yu hewei gritted her molars and got out of the car. the car door closed and they drove away. dao xi drove and said, this miss yu and miss li used to be very good friends. a thing that harbors evil intentions should get lost as far as one can go. even after chasing yu hewei out of the car, guan sulings expression did not improve. just treat it as little you making bad friends in the past. dauncey said, i checked, miss li guan suling reminded him in a low voice, dao xi, change the way you address her. dao xi said in panic, its young miss. her best friend in the past few years is the eldest daughter of the qiao family in xingzhou. guan suling raised an eyebrow. xingzhou? dao xi explained, that miss qiao came to the capital to stay for a few years. after getting to know young miss, the two of them became very good friends. guan sulings brows relaxed a little, and the depression in her heart eased a lot. hows that qiao guys relationship with little you? dao xi told guan suling everything he had found out. li xiwus sudden off-screen appearance could not help but cause netizens to speculate. it was still a long drive back to the city. li xiwu got into the car and called yuanyuan. when yuanyuan picked up, she asked directly, wheres ji weiling? yuanyuan didnt know why. sister weiling seems to be at her house. whats wrong, miss li? li xiwu asked again, what about qi zishen? yuanyuan thought for a moment. qi zishen should be in the company. li xiwu pursed her lips. go and see if qi zishen is at the company no, forget it. go straight to ji weilings house now. yuanyuan was surprised. now? hearing the nervousness and worry in li xiwus tone, yuanyuans heart skipped a beat. did something happen? li xiwu briefly explained the situation to yuanyuan. yuanyuan became even more nervous after hearing this. her first thought was, miss li, could this be a trap? li xiwu frowned. a trap? yuanyuan stammered and told li xiwu something. miss li, i ive already told sister weiling the real reason why you sent sister weiling to ying huang entertainment. li xiwu was silent. yuanyuan said, shes sorry for what youve done. i have to let her know how much youve done for her, in case she takes your good and still says bad. li xiwu took a deep breath and sighed softly. who told you that? yuanyuan said truthfully, president qi. only li xiwu and qi jiangchi knew the real reason for sending ji weiling to ying huang entertainment. when yuanyuan said this just now, li xiwu wondered if qi jiangchi had told yuanyuan. thinking about it carefully, she felt that this was not qi jiangchis style. unexpectedly yuanyuan analyzed, qi zishen shouldnt do anything to sister weiling, right? this is a lawful society. moreover, with qi zishens current reputation and status, its impossible for him to do anything to destroy his future. is it possible that sister weiling just wants to see you? li xiwu had thought of many possibilities. however, it was better to be safe than sorry. yuanyuan continued with her guess, sister weiling feels sorry for you, so she wants to meet you in this way. the car was still driving. li xiwu gestured for the driver to drive faster. the luxury car quickly began to speed up. after hearing yuanyuans words, li xiwu asked, are you at the company? yuanyuan said, yes. li xiwu said, then go see if qi zishen is in the company. if hes not, ask where qi zishen is now. yuanyuan asked, miss li, are you back? li xiwu said, yes, ill go to ji weilings place to check on the situation. yuanyuan was very worried. but miss li alright, do as i say first. yuanyuan was very worried, but she was also a little afraid. in the end, she did as li xiwu said and asked if qi zishen was in the company. the driver drove very fast along the way and ensured a certain level of safety. they finally entered the city. in the end, they arrived outside ji weilings apartment district. li xiwu has been here many times. she took the elevator upstairs with ease and stood outside ji weilings door. li xiwu raised her hand and knocked. knock knock knock knock knock knock C after a few knocks, the door finally opened slowly. seeing the person who opened the door, li xiwu raised her eyebrows. qi zishen! her lips parted slightly as she read the name of the person who opened the door. qi zishen opened the door. so its miss li. isnt miss li recording a show? arent you the one who should know that recording time is humane? it doesnt mean you cant leave under camera. li xiwu walked in, her sharp gaze sweeping the room. there was no mess. everything was neat and clean. after looking around and not seeing ji weiling, li xiwu turned around. wheres ji weiling? qi zishen leaned against the edge of the door frame. the heater was on in the room. he was only wearing a white shirt. it was obvious that there were many creases in the fabric, and the buttons were sparse. hearing li xiwu ask him where ji weiling was, qi zishen smiled and said, shes in the house. li xiwu turned and walked into the house. ji weiling was alone in the bedroom. she sat quietly by the bed. when qi zishen went to open the door, she knew that it was li xiwu. when she heard footsteps coming in, ji weiling looked up and saw that long-lost face. clatter. tears streamed down her face. ji weiling called out with red eyes, miss li. li xiwu looked at ji weiling and paused. she asked expressionlessly, what happened? what can happen? qi zishens voice came from behind. he stood beside li xiwu and knew her identity. he did not dare to be rash and only said, she mentioned that she wanted to be with me. im still considering it. li xiwu glanced sideways. qi zishen, ones face lives. qi zishen smiled meaningfully. shes the one who wants to be with me. what has it got to do with me? li xiwu turned to look at ji weiling, who was crying silently. tell me, whats the matter? qi zishen gave ji weiling a warning look. however, this time, ji weiling broke away from qi zishens threat. she grabbed li xiwus hand and said, my sleep recorder contains my conversation with qi zishen that night. i took this to him and wanted him to clarify. hes unwilling to clarify and even threatened to expose the kind of photo he took of me. i dont know what he took li xiwu narrowed her eyes. qi zishens expression also changed. ji weiling! now that li xiwu was here, ji weiling was not so afraid. she boldly said, you ruined my future. i have a chance to make a comeback now. why should i give up this opportunity? qi zishens face darkened. to clarify for you? do you think i dont want my career anymore? what will the outside world say about me? listen to me. this matter has already happened. i said that i would compensate you with the best resources. can you erase the dirt on me by giving me resources? i just want you to clarify! ji weiling was hysterical. you-! qi zishen was about to step forward in anger. li xiwu stood in front of ji weiling. qi zishen stopped and forcefully suppressed his anger. miss li, ill settle this with ji weiling. you dont have to interfere. li xiwu said, i wont interfere. ji weiling was stunned. qi zishen smiled happily. miss li, i knew it. because ji weiling has nothing to do with you and is going against hua guan media, im now the money tree of hua guan. the entire hua guan depends on me. indeed. li xiwu didnt argue. i know better, so clarify this matter and clear ji weilings name. the smile on qi zishens face disappeared. didnt you say you wont interfere? li xiwu said word by word, i wont interfere as a manager anymore because im no longer ji weilings manager, but im interfering as ji weilings friend. what can you do to me? ji weiling was stunned and felt bitter. miss li) im sorry, im sorry, im sorry, im sorry. i know my mistake. li xiwu ignored ji weilings apology. seeing that they couldnt reach an agreement, qi zishen chuckled. i have her photo. li xiwus lips twitched. then lets go all out and tear each other apart. neither of us will let the other go. well fight to the death. anyway, he who is down need fear no fall. qi zishen said, li xiwu, have you considered my identity? your identity? li xiwu raised her eyebrows. is there anything about your identity that the outside world doesnt know? qi zishens expression was as cold as ice. li xiwu, dont be too arrogant! she has the right to be arrogant. who do you think you are! a deep voice came from outside the door, full of pressure.. Chapter 285 - Chapter 285: Guan Suling: I’m Her Grandma chapter 285: guan suling: im her grandma translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the sudden voice interrupted qi zishen! qi zishen chuckled and looked at ji weiling. how many people did you call over when i wasnt paying attention? ji weiling subconsciously shook her head. she had only called li xiwu. when qi zishen first came to her house, her first call was to li xiwu. however, before she could finish speaking, qi zishen snatched her phone away and threatened her not to contact anyone again. as a result, li xiwu called back several times, but no one picked up. her phone was still in qi zishens hand. however, ji weiling had made a backup of that sleep recording in advance. even if qi zishen snatched her phone and deleted it, she was not afraid. the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time. qi zishen failed to persuade her and tried to brainwash her. several times, ji weiling almost wavered. however, when she thought of what yuanyuan had told her and everything miss li had done for her, ji weiling pinched herself to make herself hurt. she did not want to be bewitched by qi zishen. miss li, i only had time to call you, ji weiling told li xiwu truthfully. li xiwu said, i know. ji weiling was stunned. she thought that miss li knew her well. when the two of them entered one after another, li xiwu was a little surprised to see that the person in the lead was the old lady she had met by chance in the teahouse. its you? ji weiling asked softly, miss li, who is she? li xiwu didnt know how to explain the old ladys identity. at this moment, guan sulings voice said, im her grandmother. li xiwu was stunned. however, this reaction was not obvious. it was as if she had expected it before guan suling spoke. guan suling thought that li xiwu would look surprised when she heard her words. qi zishen snorted. miss li is famous for being straightforward in the industry. why did you bring your family here today? faced with qi zishens teasing, li xiwu replied calmly, other people might be a burden. i brought my family to watch you make a fool of yourself. qi zishen: as if remembering something, qi zishen pointed in the direction of the door. how did you come in? he remembered that he had casually closed the door after opening it for li xiwu. li xiwu said calmly, doesnt her assistant have the password to her door? qi zishen raised his eyebrows. oh, that yuanyuan. why isnt she here? at this moment, yuanyuan, who was outside the door, was trembling. she wasnt afraid that qi zishen wouldnt go in, but the old lady who had asked her to open the door just now wouldnt let her in. of course she wouldnt listen to that old lady. she lowered her head and was about to squeeze in. in the end, her collar was picked up. she turned around and realized that more than ten bodyguards in suits had appeared behind her. this scene almost scared yuanyuan to death. in her impression, a-list celebrities did not have such a terrifying lineup when they went out! in the end, yuanyuan could only stay outside and not dare to go in. she stayed for a moment before someone came over with a camera. what were they trying to do? it couldnt be some entertainment reporter, could it? the cameraman and the others were stopped as soon as they arrived. the bodyguards clearly would not let anyone in, and at this moment, another person came to coordinate. after a few words, the bodyguards actually let the cameramen in. when the cameraman came in, he set up the live broadcast stand. [enter the live-stream with a dumbfounded expression. leave with a dumbfounded expression wait?] [whats going on? what is this place?] [are you sure its mother-in-law joys live-stream? why are there so few people? could it be the wrong place?] [in the same screen frame, its obviously a live broadcast of mother-in-law joy, but where is she?] [f*ck, i think i heard qi zishens voice???] [i saw it, i saw it! theres li xiwu! and ji weiling! damn, that back view is qi zishen, right??] [what kind of drama is this? im looking forward to it!] they were all in the bedroom. the cameraman and the others did not alarm the people in the bedroom. according to mr. pei) they started the live broadcast of mother-in-law joys camera in the bedroom. guan sulings cold voice sounded. who cares where she is? just take care of yourself! qi zishen was furious at being reprimanded by an old lady he didnt know, especially when this old lady just said that he was nothing?!! qi zishen looked at guan suling angrily. may i ask why youre here? dao xi glanced at qi zishen coldly. watch your attitude. qi zishen said, im settling my own affairs, it has nothing to do with you. guan suling snorted. as long as my granddaughter interferes in this matter, it has something to do with me. qi zishens tone was impatient. even li xiwu might not be able to control it. do you still want to control it? listen to the advice of the juniors. when youre old, go home and retire peacefully. dont come out and cause trouble. dao xi suddenly stepped forward, a threatening aura spread. qi zishen was least afraid of fighting. he had the foundation of close combat. seeing the lackey behind the old woman press forward, qi zishen was not afraid at all. dont you dare attack! however, the other party did not make the first move as qi zishen had imagined. he saw a faint smile on this persons lips. at the same time, he was expressing his courtesy. hello, mr. qi. qi zishen said in a deep voice, speak. dao xi said, i just found out your identity. hua guan medias artiste, a big star! qi zishen narrowed his eyes. dao xis smile didnt reach his eyes. boundless glory without a single stain. your path to stardom is smooth. isnt it a pity if its tainted with such a bright future? qi zishen sneered. are you threatening me? dao xi said, its a reminder. a reminder to mr. qi to leave a way out. li xiwu took the opportunity to say, its not that complicated. you just need to post a weibo post to clarify for ji weiling. hmph! qi zishen snorted coldly. dont even think about it! at this moment, ji weiling said firmly, then lets fight to the death. at most, ill leave the industry completely from now on, but i want your reputation to be ruined! qi zishen chuckled. can such a small matter ruin my reputation? at most, its just a small problem surrounded by scandals. after the limelight passes, ill still be qi zishen. as for you, think about the consequences of doing this. actually, li xiwu knew very well that although qi zishens threat could be reported to the police, especially since he had some photos that were unfavorable to ji weiling, it is difficult to hold them legally accountable if the intimidation or threats are purely verbal and have no other intent or further conduct. especially since there were no recordings or chat records to prove qi zishens threat. even if she called the police, it would not be settled in the end. instead, it would be even more disadvantageous to ji weiling. qi zishen was indeed very smart. he had planned everything from the beginning.. Chapter 286 - Chapter 286: Exposing the Jerk chapter 286: exposing the jerk translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu looked at qi zishen. clarification is a piece of cake for you. you also said that once the limelight passes, youll still be the number one celebrity in hua guan. your status wont be shaken when youre a popular male celebrity, but itll be very difficult for ji weiling to raise her head because of this matter. what do you want her to do? qi zishen asked, what does it have to do with me? li xiwu took a deep breath. qi zishen, leave a way out. qi zishen smiled faintly and looked at li xiwu calmly. miss li, are you also planning to threaten me? li xiwu suppressed her anger. i didnt say that. although you didnt say that, its written all over your face that if i dont cooperate, youll threaten me! qi zishen took half a step back. recently, youve been in the limelight. the title of mrs. pei makes people avoid you and dont dare to offend you. in fact, arent you also relying on men? li xiwu pursed her lips. qi zishen did not realize that he was playing with fire. the industry calls you miss li. look, you havent even brought up a decent artist. the entire hua guan media still has to rely on me. isnt all your glory now because of your identity as mrs. pei? li xiwu calmly asked) so? so, im calling you miss li out of respect. i hope you wont interfere in this matter. when i see you in the future, ill still call you that. if you have to interfere in this matter, dont worry about me falling out. guan suling shouted angrily, men! six or seven bodyguards all rushed in through the door. this scene shocked qi zishen. he thought that the old woman was shouting for those men to let that person fight him. unexpectedly, so many people surged in the next second! and they were all clearly well-trained bodyguards! [its actually about ji weiling. i didnt expect there to be a reversal!] [is qi zishen a scumbag?] [li xiwu left the show in a hurry to deal with ji weiling? but why is it live again?] [when i entered the live-stream with a dumbfounded expression, it only had more than 600,000 popularity. now, it actually has more than 3,000,000. awesome!] [im the only one who wants to know why guan suling is here.] [although guan suling isnt everywhere, where li xiwu is, guan suling is.] [whats the relationship between guan suling and li xiwu? im getting more and more curious about the line about acknowledging miss li] what do you mean? qi zishen tried his best to remain calm. guan suling said, arrest him! qi zishens pupils constricted. this is a lawful society. how dare you! guan suling snorted. theres nothing i, guan suling, dont dare to do! arrest him! a second ago, he was still thinking that the other party could not be so arrogant. however, when qi zishen heard the name guan suling i , he was stunned and could not react for a long time. guan, guan, guan suling? she was actually guan suling! qi zishen had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and had come into contact with mo yujin in a drama. from his manager, he knew that senior mo yujins background was the mo family in the capital. mo yujins biological mother, guan suling, was also a royal noble. no one in the industry dared to offend her with her powerful political background. anyone who saw her had to greet her properly. he had always known the name guan suling. but he had never seen this person before. he did not expect to meet this person one day under such circumstances. and the li xiwu he had just mentioned was actually guan sulings biological granddaughter! amidst qi zishens shock, his arms were already restrained by the bodyguards and he couldnt move. and he did not resist. he was in a state of shock. guan suling raised her hand and dao xi supported her as she slowly walked to qi zishen. guan mo, old madam mo. qi zishen was panicking. if he was facing guan suling alone, qi zishen wouldnt be so flustered. however, with so many bodyguards around, qi zishen was extremely flustered. guan suling only said three words. beat him up. the two bodyguards punched qi zishen in the stomach. guan suling was furious. it was inevitable that it would cause controversy if she asked someone to beat qi zishen up during the live broadcast. at this moment, li xiwu had already seen the camera outside. she was not sure if the camera outside was recording or live. she was even less sure who had called the cameramen and the others outside. if her grandmother had called them over, she probably wouldnt have known that she would get someone to beat qi zishen up when there was a camera. therefore, just as the bodyguard was about to make a move, li xiwu stopped him. wait! the bodyguards were all bodyguards of the mo family and already knew li xiwus identity, especially since the old lady had instructed them to listen to li xiwu from the moment they saw her. hence, they immediately stopped. qi zishen was so frightened that his face and lips turned pale. the fist did not land on him, but li xiwus voice stopped them. he dodged the bullet! guan suling did not ask why li xiwu stopped her. since li xiwu stopped her, guan suling would not do anything to make li xiwu unhappy again. she walked up to qi zishen and reminded him in a lukewarm voice, young man, my little you just reminded you that you have to leave a way out. qi zishen was sincerely terrified. guan suling said, you know what to say? qi zishen quickly said, im sorry, old madam mo. guan sulings voice turned cold. apologize to who? qi zishen was shocked and quickly said to li xiwu, im sorry, miss li. i was rude just now. li xiwu watched quietly. she wasnt sure if she accepted qi zishens apology or not. this was how humans were. before they were threatened, they could be unrestrained. for someone like qi zishen, he even wanted to do whatever he wanted. however, after knowing the seriousness of the matter, he regretted it, so he immediately tried his best to salvage the situation and not let himself eat too badly. its simple. after a long silence, li xiwu spoke slowly. again, clarify. qi zishen was stunned. no! li xiwu said, no one will trust someone unconditionally. ji weiling will bear the consequences of her wrong choice, but if shes too wronged, i naturally wont sit back and do nothing. men and women are equal. because of your words, ji weiling fell into eternal damnation. if you had left some leeway, there wouldnt be such an embarrassing scene today! qi zishen said, she came to seduce me. what has it got to do with me? li xiwu said, then who flirted with her on set, intentionally or otherwise, and and kept saying that he was single? qi zishen quibbled, i didnt flirt with her, and i didnt say i was single! li xiwu sneered. then well release the sleep recording that ji weiling saved and reveal your true colors. how about that? qi zishens face darkened. i li xiwu said, clarify and admit your mistake. this matter ends here. qi zishen sneered. impossible! is that so? li xiwu smiled faintly. its too late even if its impossible.. now the entire internet knows your true colors! Chapter 287 - Chapter 287: Scumbag Mixer chapter 287: scumbag mixer translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations qi zishen thought that li xiwu was threatening him. he did not realize that his position was unlucky. his back was facing the camera, and the camera facing him was broadcasting live on the internet. ill say the same thing. i wont clarify. although qi zishen was controlled by the bodyguards, it did not prevent him from saying these words. as long as ji weiling is clear-headed and takes the resources i gave her, we can part on good terms. if shes muddle-headed, feel free to expose it. the lawyers letter will be handed to her immediately! ji weiling was trembling with anger. qi zishen, arent you disgusting? im disgusting? qi zishen was cold. then why didnt you say i was disgusting when you seduced me? ji weiling knew that there was a camera outside, but she still couldnt control her emotions and rushed forward. you were the one who provoked me first!! before ji weiling rushed towards qi zishen, li xiwu immediately grabbed her arm. calm down. ji weiling, who had almost lost her mind, was stunned for a few seconds when she heard li xiwus voice. then, she calmed down a little. qi zishen teased, look at you now. what do you look like? ji weilings eyes were red. isnt it all your fault that i became like this?! dont! please, dont! qi zishens voice was cold. dont pin such a high hat on me. i cant afford it. qi zishen had always been handsome and knew it. because he was not even 30 years old, sometimes some greasy behavior was fatal in the eyes of his fans. in addition, after debuting for so many years, everything had been smooth-sailing. there had never been any bad rumors. with the support of peak works, he was on the a-list. his fans were very stable and his status was he was actually not very worried that ji weiling would really fall out. even if ji weiling exposed their conversation in the sleep recording, he could still deny it unilaterally. hua guan media would also suppress the bad public opinion immediately and protect him. hearing ji weilings hysterical retort, he only smiled mockingly. no matter which production team i enter or who i work with, the actresses will have some feelings for me. how can you blame me? if you really want to blame someone, you can probably only blame me for being too handsome. even if i dont do anything, i can charm them with my looks. li xiwu suppressed her smile. qi zishen, youre indeed very handsome. even though he was in a sorry state now, it did not stop qi zishen from revealing a smile that he thought was charming. thank you for your praise, miss li. li xiwu said, but youre not handsome enough for everyone to flock to you. as a male celebrity, its a good thing to be confident. overconfidence is called greasy. it wont make people flock to you. itll only make people avoid you. the smile on qi zishens lips faded a little. he wanted to refute li xiwu, but the words were on the tip of his tongue. he held them back. he did not argue with li xiwu because he could not afford to offend her. however, this matter was between him and ji weiling. he looked at ji weiling and said, the matter between us should have been handled by the two of us. its a very simple way to deal with it. theres no need to call miss li over. ji weiling choked. she also knew that there was no need to call li xiwu. however, when she saw qi zishen coming, her instinct drove her to call li xiwu directly. she did not think that li xiwu would come at that time. it was very likely that she would not come because li xiwu was completely disappointed in her. but what if li xiwu came? she really wanted to see her. she wanted to apologize to her face. seeing that ji weiling was in a daze, qi zishen knew that his goal had been achieved. now, he only needed to apologize to li xiwu again, say a few good words, send li xiwu away, and talk to ji weiling. this matter would be resolved! qi zishen moved his elbow. he gestured for the two bodyguards holding him to let go. li xiwu said, let him go. the bodyguard obeyed li xiwu and let go of qi zishen. after obtaining freedom, qi zishen looked relieved. he looked at li xiwu. miss li, ji weiling and i will discuss this matter. im really sorry for offending you just now. i hope you can forgive me. li xiwu said, very sincere. the tip of qi zishens tongue pressed against his cheek, and the charming smile on his lips turned bright. as long as miss li is satisfied. li xiwu kindly reminded him, youve been in the entertainment industry for so many years. you should be very sensitive to cameras, right? qi zishens expression changed slightly. did you record what happened just now? no, no. li xiwu smiled faintly. hearing this, qi zishen heaved a sigh of relief. however, this sigh of relief was not too stable. he felt that li xiwus words were reminding him of something li xiwu looked at qi zishens strange expression and said lightly, why dont you turn around and take a look? qi zishens expression froze. he slowly turned around. the scene that appeared in front of him almost made qi zishen collapse! camera!!! when did the camera appear?!! [ugh! this is the first time ive seen qi zishens other side in private. is he so greasy?] [damn, qi zishen really broke his image in my heart today!] [my white moonlight collapsed just like that] [li xiwu is immoral. she knows that shes live-streaming, but she keeps asking qi zishen questions.] [li xiwu only exposed qi zishens other side for everyone.] [this man is too irresponsible. he hooked up with someone and said that he had a girlfriend after being exposed. he even let ji weiling drink the dirty water alone.] [last time, it was chi xu. this time, it was qi zishen. li xiwu is a scumbag shredder, right? awesome!] the comments went crazy. the popularity of watching online was about to break ten million, and it was still rising crazily. with a bang, qi zishen closed the bedroom door, cutting off the camera outside. qi zishen pointed at li xiwu and then at ji weiling. did you collude? although ji weiling was afraid, she still stood firmly in front of li xiwu. she had to take responsibility for this. so what if its me? you should have expected this day to come! qi zishen was furious. ji weiling! ji weiling was shocked and her body swayed. if it was just for fun, i could afford to play. im an adult. i have to pay for what i did. but you framed me and made me doomed. why should i let you off! when qi zishen thought about how everything he had just said had been exposed, he was furious. was his acting career going to be ruined like this? no! he would never allow it! qi zishen had never been so crazy at this moment. even though he knew that there was no point in reversing no matter what he did, he still pounced on ji weiling fiercely. bang! Chapter 288 - Chapter 288: Hatred Eyes chapter 288: hatred eyes translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations a few minutes later, li xiwu pulled ji weiling out of the bedroom. facing the camera, li xiwus expression and gaze did not avoid it at all. although she was silent, she had a majestic aura. if anyone who was familiar with pei jingzhou and li xiwu were here, they would definitely notice that li xiwus aura was very similar to pei jingzhous. a replica of a big shot! miss li! sister weiling! yuanyuan walked forward worriedly. li xiwu said, its fine. ji weilings voice was very soft. im fine too. yuanyuan could guess that the two of them were definitely fine. that fierce old lady had brought so many people and they were here to protect miss li. miss li would definitely be fine. li xiwu gave ji weiling a look before leaving the camera and standing aside. yuanyuan understood li xiwus gaze. when li xiwu went to the side, she followed, leaving ji weiling alone in front of the camera. [where did qi zishen go? i heard a bang and didnt see anyone.] [as a public figure and a male celebrity supported by thousands of fans, qi zishen actually did something to destroy a girls reputation. its really too evil.] [especially since he flirted with ji weiling first. the first to flirt is cheap.] [i feel sorry for qi zishens fans. theyre fans of this thing.] [the benefit of a live broadcast is that its set in stone. if ji weiling releases evidence and destroys qi zishen alone, who knows how she will be controlled and criticized. she will probably be scolded instead.] [its men who say that li xiwu is immoral, right? the most important thing for girls is their reputation. they were originally willing to attract each other in private, but qi zishen played dirty. he deserves this!] [everyone is accusing qi zishen of his actions. i agree, but im more curious. this time, its a grudge between qi zishen and ji weiling. as a former manager, its understandable for li xiwu to interfere. why did guan suling join in the fun?] [get to the point. guan suling said something about my little you?!] ji weiling stood in front of the camera. she said nothing, but bent down and bowed deeply. she felt guilty. especially the fans who had supported her. they must be very sad to fall in love with an idol who did not love herself. people had to pay for their mistakes. ji weiling had already paid the price for what she had done impulsively. she regretted it, but it was useless to regret it. what she had done was done. she would start a new life in the future. after bowing, ji weiling left the camera and went to the side, crying silently. when the netizens saw this scene, their hearts were in turmoil. some sighed and their hearts ached. some people felt that this was the path ji weiling had chosen. whether she took the wrong path or not, she should be the one paying. many hug emojis appeared in the comments. most of the people who swiped this emoji were girls. soon, todays unexpected live broadcast was pushed to the trending searches on weibo. the words #qi zishens image collapsed# were so straightforward that they steadily became the top trending searches in a short period of time. qi zishen, who had always been in the top five of the internal entertainment industry, exploded after todays incident. not only were the words in the live broadcast exposed, qi zishens last female fan site admin came out to speak, insinuating a lot of things that he had said in the past but fans did not believe. #qi zishens image collapsed# boohoo, the first celebrity i fan of suddenly collapsed! #qi zishens image collapsed# when qi zishens last female fan site admin fanned another person, she revealed that qi zishen was very good at playing in private. at that time, we didnt believe it. #qi zishens image collapsed# although ji weiling isnt worth pitying, why did he do this to a girl! #qi zishens image collapsed# 4 years of love. until today. #qi zishens image collapsed# although i dont want to accept it, the material that the female fansite admin exposed really made me feel very uncomfortable. it was as if i was forcefully fed sh*t. #qi zishens image collapsed# the idol ive been a fan of for four years is actually so greasy. i used to think he was cool! ive already poked my eyes! qi zishen had more than 40 million fans. after this incident, his fans were quickly falling. his personal weibo had also fallen, and his comments were polarized. this was because many hardcore fans were still stubbornly waiting for hua guan media to clarify even after watching the live broadcast. they were all holding on to one-in-a-thousand hope what if there was a reversal? in fact, qi zishen had been hammered until there was no reversal. this matter would not affect qi zishens filming in the future, nor would it affect this show. the highlight of todays live broadcast had been completed. the cameramen looked at li xiwu. li xiwu was silent for a moment, then raised her hand slightly. the cameramen understood li xiwus gesture, then turned off the live broadcast and removed all the camera equipment. li xiwu was originally not sure if these were arranged by pei jingzhou. when the cameraman understood her gesture and turned off the live broadcast, li xiwu immediately understood that this was indeed arranged by pei jingzhou. after the cameraman and the others left, li xiwu turned and glanced in the direction of the bedroom. her grandmother was still inside. li xiwu wasnt sure what would happen inside, but with qi zishens identity, her grandmother probably wouldnt do anything to him. grandmother she calmly accepted the fact that guan suling was her grandmother. she was really honest. there were not many surprises. it was probably because they had already interacted in advance and because her aunt had already come looking for her, but her grandmothers appearance was not sudden. it was only a matter of time. although she was not surprised and was calm, she was not ready at the bottom of her heart to face her family. in her memory, she was an orphan. her previous life was a mess. she only got better after meeting pei jingzhou. these were her past memories. the past no longer existed. feelings without memories were blank. so she was wondering how she should face the old lady who was now a grandmother. miss li. her thoughts were in turmoil. li xiwu frowned. behind her, she heard ji weilings voice. her frown relaxed and she turned around. ji weiling stood in front of li xiwu. im sorry. li xiwu said, youve already said those words. ji weiling lowered her head like an ostrich. it wasnt formal just now. this is a formal apology. li xiwu said, lift your head and talk. ji weiling did not lift it and buried it even lower. li xiwu said, i dont forgive you. ji weiling was stunned. she suddenly looked up at li xiwu with tears in her eyes. li xiwus lips curled up. see, didnt you raise your head? ji weiling bit her lip. afraid that miss li would despise her worthless tears, she forcefully held them back and said in a choked voice, i was obsessed. li xiwu crossed her arms and stopped thinking about facing guan suling. she looked much more relaxed. everyone makes mistakes. ji weiling took a deep breath. ill work hard at ying huang entertainment. li xiwu said, thats naturally the best. not long after, guan suling came out. before coming out, her expression was cold. when she came out and saw li xiwu, her cold expression suddenly softened. immediately after, the two bodyguards pushed qi zishen out. there were no injuries on his face, but from the way he was grimacing, his internal injuries were not light. they probably covered his mouth and beat him up. guan sulings methods were very powerful. even at her age, she was always decisive in handling everything. qi zishen looked up at ji weiling, then his gaze landed on li xiwu. there was fleeting hatred in his eyes, as if he was tearing her apart. li xiwus eyebrows jumped. a womans sixth sense told her it wasnt a good look.. Chapter 289 - Chapter 289: Finally Relieved chapter 289: finally relieved translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations destroy me and make yourself what you are. li xiwu, i really think its a pity that youre not a celebrity. this was the first thing qi zishen said to li xiwu after he was brought out. qi zishens resentful gaze flashed across li xiwus mind. she replied calmly, perhaps. its not perhaps. if you enter the entertainment industry, im afraid the entire entertainment industry will be your world. when qi zishen said this, it was probably because the place where he had been beaten hurt slightly, and his expression was very painful. li xiwu didnt respond. guan suling had already sat down on the sofa. dao xi was bending over her, massaging her shoulders. hearing qi zishens words, guan suling snorted. youre right. as long as my little darling wants to, she can do whatever she wants in the entire entertainment industry. from my little you to my little darling in just half an hour. if not for the fact that she was afraid that li xiwu would not be used to it, guan suling would have said, my baby. she was a baby, but she was also a pearl. guan suling was not even that close to her own grandson and granddaughter. only she doted on li you since she was young. it could be said that li you was the apple of guan sulings eye. no one could replace her. not only because she had delivered li you herself, but also because li you was very similar to mo zhu. qi zishen did not dare to refute guan sulings words. he lowered his head slightly and remained silent. guan suling raised her hand. let him go. the two bodyguards on the left and right let go of qi zishen. his entire body was in pain, and he was relying on the strength of the two bodyguards to support him. now that the two bodyguards let go, qi zishen slowly squatted down, looking very sorry. guan suling looked at him. theres always someone better. although you have some achievements, you cant resist capital or power. the world is charming. its fine if you cover your heart, but why have you forgotten how to be a human? every word was elegant. however, every sentence poked at qi zishens heart and scolded him. guan suling raised her hand, indicating that there was no need to massage her shoulders. dao xi stepped silently to one side and stood. guan sulings sharp gaze landed on ji weiling. have you vented your anger? ji weiling was afraid of guan sulings aura. when she was suddenly asked this, she did not know how to answer and did not dare to. guan suling lowered her voice. i asked, have you vented your anger? ji weiling was so frightened that her small body trembled. y -yes. guan suling stood up. its good that youve vented your anger. in the future, open your eyes and look at people. youre so young, but your eyesight is bad. wont you go blind when youre a little older in the future? ji weiling: if others scolded her like this, ji weiling would have to retort a little to feel better. however, the person who scolded her was guan suling. ji weiling did not even dare to look her in the eye, let alone refute. li xiwu! li xiwu! wait a while, im coming. im coming. there was an urgent voice outside the door. although she hadnt seen anyone yet, li xiwu recognized the voice. it was qi zishens manager, cao ting. what happened today was too sudden. cao ting only found out about qi zishens matter when the live broadcast was about to end. he immediately couldnt care less and threw away the matter in his hand before rushing over. several paparazzi followed him along the way. when he arrived at ji weilings building, he realized that there were already more than ten entertainment reporters waiting downstairs. it took cao ting a lot of effort to squeeze in. at this moment, cao ting rushed towards li xiwu as soon as he entered. the bodyguards stopped him to prevent him from hurting li xiwu. cao ting struggled to say, im not here to find trouble. li xiwu said, let mr. cao in. only then did the bodyguard retract his hand and let cao ting in. cao ting walked up to li xiwu and smiled ingratiatingly. when he noticed qi zishen standing at the side in a sorry state, it would be a lie to say that his heart did not ache. cao ting turned around and walked towards qi zishen. zishen. qi zishens expression turned ugly. you came just in time. in other words, what was the point of coming? cao ting could tell that qi zishen should be slightly injured, but he did not dare to ask. when he came over, he took president qis call. from president qis tone, he was indeed very angry, but there was a hint of helplessness in his anger. in the end, he said, let her be. of course, it was li xiwu. after all, li xiwu had contributed greatly to qi zishens collapse this time. cao ting did not answer qi zishen. he turned to li xiwu and said, president qi said that we should deal with zishens matter as we should. li xiwu pursed her lips. for some reason, oi jiangchis helpless expression appeared in her mind. back then, qi jiangchi had specially reminded her not to mess with qi zishen. hua guan media had pointed at qi zishen as a money tree. this time, she had openly attacked qi zishen. qi jiangchi was probably very depressed. the money tree had been cut down. qi zishen is your artist. you handle the subsequent matters yourself, li xiwu said calmly. cao ting nodded. he couldnt vent his bitterness and had to smile apologetically. however, he deliberately mentioned, without zishen, hua guan medias position in a few companies wont be stable anymore. arent you just standing there? are you blind? guan suling said in a low voice, go outside if you want to say something unlucky! cao ting swallowed. not to mention that he did not dare to look directly at guan suling when he came in just now, he did not dare to look directly at her now. li xiwu looked at cao tings nervous expression and said calmly, take qi zishen away. cao ting quickly agreed. then well leave first. li xiwu nodded. mm. when qi zishen was taken away by cao ting, he turned around and looked at li xiwu with eyes filled with unwillingness and hatred. it was the same gaze as before. ji weiling saw it too. she was standing behind li xiwu, thinking that qi zishen was looking at her. she was a little afraid. miss li ji weiling carefully tugged at li xiwus sleeve. li xiwu turned. afraid? ji weiling nodded and whispered, a little. yuanyuan, li xiwu called out. yuanyuan walked over. miss li. li xiwu said, stay with her. stay with her tonight. yuanyuan agreed. okay. thinking of the drama that she was filming, yuanyuan said, miss li, the drama that sister weiling and qi zishen filmed li xiwu said coldly, with such a thing happening, this drama cant continue filming. work will stop and both parties will bear the losses. speaking of losses, li xiwu looked at ji weiling. any objections? ji weiling quickly shook her head. no. li xiwus gaze landed on ji weilings messy clothes. go take a shower and tidy yourself up. youre no longer an artist of hua guan media. yuanyuan is accompanying you as a friend, not as your assistant. you can tell yuanyuan what you want to eat, but you cant order her around like before. ji weiling nodded obediently. got it. beside her, yuanyuan was touched. she had long sworn that no matter how many celebrities miss li changed hands with, she would always be an assistant and would never leave miss li.. Chapter 290 - Chapter 290: It’s Too Painful to Remember chapter 290: its too painful to remember translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations with the matter resolved, li xiwu felt a little more at ease. however, when she thought of the way qi zishen looked at her when he left, li xiwu felt uncomfortable all over. guan suling walked towards her. compared to her swift and decisive manner just now, her eyes were filled with gentleness as she looked at li xiwu. why dont we go home first? li xiwu hesitated for a moment before saying, the recording of todays show is not over yet. guan suling immediately said, then ill send you back to north water town? li xiwu did not agree immediately. she only said, lets leave here first. ji weiling needed to calm down from what she had experienced today. actually, it was fine for her to stay here, but her grandmother and the bodyguards were always around. ji weiling would probably be a little breathless. guan sulings eyes were filled with li xiwu. she would do whatever li xiwu said. she quickly asked dao xi to get the bodyguards to wait. a few minutes later, li xiwu and guan suling arrived at the lower floor of the district. there were more than ten entertainment reporters waiting outside the district. three to five of them slipped in. some had their website logo hanging around their necks, and some were holding cameras in their hands, taking photos at any time. a dozen bodyguards chased these entertainment reporters away one by one. there were many entertainment reporters. they werent worried about being stopped, but with so many bodyguards and professionals, it was obvious that they couldnt be provoked. some of them ran away dejectedly. li xiwu and guan suling got into the same car. it was obvious that guan suling had been very restrained. after getting into the car, she finally couldnt help but pull li xiwu over and hug her. only then did she feel at ease. li xiwu let guan suling hug her. even though the two of them did not say a word, everything was silent. when she was at ji weilings house just now, she looked calm on the surface, but in fact, she could not calm down. it turned out that the old lady who had lost money to her was her biological grandmother. at the same time, she remembered that be it that hurried glance in the morning or the short interaction at the teahouse, guan suling had actually appeared in front of her as her grandmother from the beginning. not long after, li xiwu vaguely felt a trace of heat on her neck. then, a warm liquid accidentally rubbed against her neck. it must be the old lady crying. silently, quietly crying. or rather, she cried tears of joy. li xiwu opened her mouth to say something, but she didnt say it. her lowered hand slowly rose, wanting to do something, but she didnt. after a long while, she said with difficulty, grandma. it was only when she called out that she realized that it was actually not that difficult to speak. when guan suling heard li xiwu call her grandma, she slowly let go and slowly retreated. guan suling was indeed crying. her muddy eyes were crying silently. although she was crying, she asked with a smile, my little darling, can you call me grandma again? li xiwu called out again softly, grandma. guan suling hugged li xiwu excitedly again. grandmas good girl, grandma has finally waited for you. to li xiwu, this was not kinship that she had not felt for a long time. to be precise, it should be the first time in her current memory that she had experienced kinship that belonged to her. guan suling was happy and excited. its been four years. ive been waiting for this day even in my dreams. they all said that you would never come back. i didnt believe it. i couldnt sleep for so many days and nights. i waited and thought for you. ive finally waited for you to come back. dont leave again. li xiwu listened to guan suling quietly. it wasnt that she wasnt moved, it wasnt that she didnt know how to respond. there was no expression on her face. she felt the tears rolling down guan sulings face in a daze. she slowly reached out to wipe them away. after a long pause, she said, dont cry. guan suling replied, okay, grandma will stop crying. its really embarrassing to cry like this at my age. li xiwu smiled. did grandma come to see me after watching the show? guan suling nodded. yes. li xiwu said, but i dont remember the past. its alright, its alright. guan suling quickly said that it was alright, then continued, as long as grandma remembers. of course, guan suling knew. li xiwu no longer remembered the past. if she did, how could she not come back? it was actually good that she had forgotten all the things she had experienced in country t. it was too painful to think about. guan suling would not blame pei jingzhou for causing little you to lose her memory, but she wanted to settle the matter of pei jingzhou changing little yous appearance and hiding her. next, li xiwu chatted with guan suling about the past. guan suling knew very well that there were some things that could not be mentioned directly. she should avoid topics as much as possible, so she avoided everything that happened to li huaisheng and mo zhu in country t. although everyone knew about the turmoil in country t, li xiwu had seen it with her own eyes back then. they were family, so she could not bear such pain. then, she told li xiwu about the situation in the mo family and that her aunt, mo yujin, had come to this show because of guan sulings arrangements. if li xiwu had not insisted on recording todays variety show, guan suling would definitely have brought li xiwu back to the mo family. li xiwu also told guan suling why her appearance had changed. as for staying by pei jingzhous side as a substitute at first, she did not mention this, afraid that her grandmother would be unhappy. actually, she could let go of these things herself. because pei jingzhou had done enough for her. as for what happened before she lost her memory, she didnt know how much she could withstand inside. before she was completely prepared, she chose to keep her mouth shut and not ask about the past. because right now it is pretty good. she spent almost half an hour in the car with her grandmother. li xiwu raised her hand and looked at her wristwatch. it was already three-thirty in the afternoon. time flies. she was about to return to north water town to continue recording the show when guan suling said that she wanted to accompany her. li xiwu looked at her grandmothers tired expression. youve been running around all day. you should go back and rest. wait for me at the mo residence in peace. ill come and see you after recording the show. how could guan suling bear to be separated from her baby? especially after they had just reunited, guan suling could not bear to part with li xiwu at all. she wanted to watch her at all times. li xiwu couldnt help but laugh as she soothed the old lady. if theres enough time tonight, ill come and see you. the moment that was said, guan suling, who did not want to compromise, immediately wavered. tonight? it was three-thirty now. shed see her darling in three or four hours. it was better than waiting another day. after thinking for a few seconds, guan suling agreed. okay, ill get dao xi to drive you. li xiwu smiled faintly. no need for dao xi. just the driver who brought me here just now. guan suling was quickly convinced. she said goodbye to li xiwu and watched her get into the car and leave before looking away. she said to dao xi, arrange for the afternoon. the kitchen will be ready early tonight. seeing that the old lady was in a good mood, dao xi was happy too. okay, ill call the butler immediately. Chapter 291 - Chapter 291: She’s On the Verge of Death for the Second Time chapter 291: shes on the verge of death for the second time translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the cars left. the entertainment reporters waited in groups of twos and threes for a while. seeing that li xiwu and the others had left one after another, they surrounded the building and continued to wait. after all, the protagonist had yet to come down. seeing this, the property management came to chase away these entertainment reporters. after a while, these entertainment reporters all hid again. im not familiar with this neighborhood. wait here. ill help you find another way, cao ting said and turned to go downstairs. neither he nor qi zishen left. they stayed in the corridor. there were many entertainment reporters downstairs. if he appeared like this, he would probably be blocked for a long time. qi zishen stopped cao ting. give me your car keys. cao ting didnt think too much about it and handed his car keys to qi zishen. its good that you drive my car. when the time comes, drive straight home and dont go to the company. qi zishen didnt say anything, his expression dark. cao ting looked at qi zishens expression and felt that something was wrong. what do you want to do? qi zishen looked up slowly. what do you think im going to do? cao ting sighed. accept your fate. president qi has the heart to protect you, but this time, li xiwu is coming aggressively and the live broadcast is impossible to guard against. not to mention that president qi has indulged li xiwu this time, you cant afford to offend li xiwu with her identity and background. qi zishen raised the corners of his lips and sneered. she has the pei familys backing and is now the biological granddaughter of that old madam mo. who can touch her? im glad you know. cao ting looked at the gloom on qi zishens face. youve indeed gone too far this time. you clearly knew that it was lan mins scheme, but you didnt take a step back and still stepped into this deep pit. in the end, you harmed yourself. actually, cao ting knew about qi zishen and ji weiling. cao ting knew that lan min was involved. however, he did not ask at that time because qi zishen had never flipped a car after so long, so cao ting did not take this matter to heart. speaking of which, he was still responsible for this matter. there was no way to turn things around now. the road had become a dead emu. cao ting said earnestly, with your status in the industry, youll definitely be able to receive scripts. its just that variety shows might be a little difficult. the industries you invested in are developing quite well. focus on investing in the future. qi zishen smiled but did not respond. cao ting felt that qi zishen would not be able to accept this cruel truth for a while. no one could immediately accept this fact after falling from the altar. cao ting originally wanted to say something to comfort qi zishen. before he could speak) he saw qi zishen leave with his car keys. cao ting raised his voice. zishen, rest when you go back. ill bring you dinner later. qi zishen did not reply. in the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared from his sight. at this moment, li xiwu was on her way back to north water town. it was the same luxury car. the driver hadnt changed, either. she sat in the back seat and replied to all the messages on wechat before calling pei jingzhou back. when the call was picked up, li xiwu pressed the phone to her ear. fourth brother. pei jingzhous voice came from the receiver. on the way back to north water town? li xiwu replied, yes. she might not have noticed, but her voice was light and sweet. it was a little different from usual. pei jingzhou could tell and guess, youve acknowledged your grandmother? li xiwus smile was almost reaching the back of her head. of course, it wasnt really that exaggerated. she was just in a good mood and her face was filled with joy. she changed her grip on the phone and leaned back, her entire body relaxing. i talked to grandma for a long time. she told me about the mo family, and i told her about the facial restoration. pei jingzhou was still in the hotel in north water town. he had been waiting for li xiwu to call for a long time. hearing li xiwu say that she had chatted with old madam mo for a long time, pei jingzhou was not worried that old madam mo would tell li xiwu too much about the past. even if the old lady was old, she was still an experienced person. she naturally knew what to say in front of li xiwu. pei jingzhou replied as he listened. unknowingly, they chatted for more than ten minutes. pei jingzhou asked her, do you want to go straight back to the production team? li xiwu said, ive delayed the recording of the show in the afternoon today. ill rush back now to finish the broadcast. ill come and look for you later and go back to the mo residence. it wasnt that she couldnt wait. she had promised her grandmother that she would go back to the mo residence today. pei jingzhou replied, okay. as they chatted, li xiwu remembered that when she returned to the hotel in the morning, she accidentally heard han qianye on the phone, so she mentioned in front of pei jingzhou, auntie seems to like yaoyao too. pei jingzhou: yeah? li xiwu asked, did fourth brother tell auntie about my previous thoughts? not long after this topic passed, pei jingzhou remembered what it was. pei jingzhou said, 1 didnt mention this to her. li xiwu was stunned for a moment. she thought that pei jingzhou had told han qianye that she wanted to adopt yaoyao. otherwise, why would han qianye call him that on the phone? no yaoyao was a child adopted by madam di xin and had nothing to do with her and pei jingzhou. did han qianye have any plans? then what did she want to do? adopt yaoyao for her and pei jingzhou? something was still wrong li xiwus mind became confused. pei jingzhou asked her, whats wrong? li xiwus lips parted. she wanted to tell pei jingzhou about her doubts, but she thought that she would be able to meet him tonight. she had a lot of time, so she decided to talk to pei jingzhou about this tonight. nothing, she said. well talk about this later. i dont know how to say it now. pei jingzhou did not continue asking. ill come and pick you up. li xiwus lips curved. okay. after ending the call, li xiwu held the phone and fell into deep thought. at this moment, the driver suddenly said anxiously, young miss, sit tight! sit tight! in an unexpected situation, li xiwu reacted quickly. she reached out and grabbed the handle of the car wall. before she could completely stabilize herself, the car she was sitting in seemed to fly more than ten meters forward. with a bang, the car landed. the driver was mentally strong. he steadied the steering wheel and accelerated at the same time. there was a screech of tires on the ground. the performance of the luxury car was impressive, but no matter how impressive it was, it could not withstand the crazy pursuit of the car behind. li xiwus heart was racing. she could see the car behind her in the inner rearview mirror. the car was still chasing after her and hitting her car. it was not afraid of death at all. it was completely risking its life. it was qi zishen! it was actually qi zishen! hes crazy! the moment she saw that it was qi zishen, li xiwu was not afraid. instead, she was glad that qi zishen was taking revenge on her and not ji weiling. she reminded the driver, steady the steering wheel and speed. just as she finished speaking, the car behind suddenly sped up and hit it with a loud bang. the luxury car was hit and rushed towards the greenery at that moment, li xiwu was on the verge of death for the second time.. Chapter 292 - Chapter 292: Dark Red Blood chapter 292: dark red blood translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the car careened into the protective barrier of the greenery. the driver stepped on the brakes immediately. due to the powerful inertia, li xiwu crashed forward. it hurt. the shattering pain. starting from her head, it quickly spread to her limbs and bones, and her knees were also ruthlessly hit. li xiwu couldnt recover for a long time. her face was pale, and she felt warm liquid flowing down her forehead. she raised her hand to touch her forehead, and what greeted her was a glaring dark red color. at this moment, the car door was suddenly pulled open li xiwu looked up with difficulty and met qi zishens worried gaze. he asked her, miss li, are you alright? not only did li xiwu have a headache, but her entire body was in pain. she wondered how the driver in front of her was and if he had dodged it. seeing that qi zishen not only opened the car door, but also asked her worriedly if she was alright, li xiwu stared at him even more warily. qi zishen reached out to li xiwu. li xiwu dodged. as she moved, she pulled at the wound on her knee. her face was as pale as paper from the pain. qi zishens hand froze in midair. seeing that li xiwu was afraid, he retracted his hand a moment later and said, the car hit the greenery. for safetys sake, get out of the car first. ive already called the police. you dont have to worry. li xiwu felt that qi zishen was lying to her to get out of the car before attacking her. after all, this collision did not directly kill her. he should be indignant. she ignored qi zishen and propped herself up to look at the driver in front. there was no sign of the driver. li xiwus heart tightened. where was the driver? the door in front opened a little. could the driver have jumped out of the car and escaped just now? if only he was fine. she fumbled for her phone. before the accident, the phone was in her hand. when she hit it, the phone left her hand and disappeared. finally she saw the phone under the seat. she reached for it, but she was a step too slow. qi zishen reached in and picked up her phone. miss li, are you looking for a phone? li xiwu pursed her lips and closed her eyes in pain. it was physical pain. she calmed herself down and reminded him word by word, qi zishen, you know the law. im sorry, miss li. qi zishen said apologetically, the brakes failed and caused this car accident. miss li, ill compensate you for all the losses. li xiwu looked at him coldly. qi zishen, dont tell me you have two personalities. the car that hit me just now was your second personality, and the first personality was your dark side? with that) the guilt on qi zishens face dissipated. in its place was a mocking smile. li xiwu, do you really feel a sense of accomplishment for ruining me? this has nothing to do with a sense of accomplishment. li xiwus voice was weak, even lower than before. you destroyed yourself. even if it didnt happen this time, there will be a next time. when celebrities stand on a glamorous stage, they should take on a positive image youre the one whos not worthy. qi zishen said, i didnt break the law. how is my virtue not worthy of my position? on the other hand, even if youre not a celebrity, dont you still rely on your man to get to where you are? you have an affair with president qi in the company, right? does your tycoon husband know? li xiwu chuckled. do men like to make yellow rumors about a woman when they become useless? qi zishen said, im telling the truth! whats the truth? li xiwu narrowed her eyes at qi zishen. the secular world always criticizes women for not loving themselves, so why can men be spared from the same thing? i wont let you escape unscathed. i dont have anything to explain about the live broadcast. since its exposed, its equivalent to confirming it. youre not wronged! qi zishens anger erupted. you ruined my career! li xiwu snorted. career? qi zishen is a man who cherishes his feathers. thats the funniest joke ive heard this year. a vicious glint flashed across qi zishens eyes as he reached out to li xiwu. li xiwu was trapped in the car and couldnt avoid it. seeing qi zishen grab her wrist and drag her out, li xiwu wrapped her arms around the armrest of the seat beside her. she had underestimated qi zishens strength. not allowing her to resist, he pulled her out of the car. qi zishen seemed to have gone crazy. he hated li xiwu for being a busybody. he hated li xiwu for ruining him. these hatreds gathered together and made it impossible for him to let go of what had happened today, so he followed. he stepped on the accelerator desperately along the way, just for this moment. li xiwus expression changed. she suddenly exerted strength from somewhere and pressed qi zishens wrist. what are you trying to do! qi zishen was almost possessed. cant you tell what i want to do? of course im taking revenge on you. however, qi zishen did not expect the injured li xiwu to still have the strength to resist him. as soon as he approached, she bent her knees and went up. a sharp pain came from his crotch. qi zishens expression changed instantly as he gritted his teeth. li! xi! wu! li xiwu said, self-defense. qi zishens eyes turned red as he grabbed li xiwus neck and exerted strength. li xiwu could not avoid him. after being strangled by qi zishen, her expression instantly turned ugly. she did not struggle too much. her expression was pained, but she was very calm. she aimed at the position and raised her elbow to counterattack. qi zishen was in pain and let go. li xiwu took advantage of this moment to raise her head and hit him with her face. both sides suffered, but it was very effective in knocking qi zishen back a few steps. he raised his hand to his forehead. you crazy woman! not as crazy as you. li xiwus head hurt so much that she almost collapsed from the dizziness. she steadied herself and turned to escape. li xiwus leg was injured) so it was a little difficult for her to run. she was completely at a disadvantage when she limped, and she was quickly pulled back by qi zishen. li xiwu did not struggle. she only reminded him calmly, qi zishen, isnt my current state enough for your revenge? do you know that youre breaking the law? however, the crazy qi zishen wouldnt listen to anything now. he pulled li xiwu back to the car. qi zishen stared at her fiercely. dont you like to bump into each other? i dont like the feeling of both sides being injured. ivs enough for you to suffer alone. ill let you bump into me as much as you want! li xiwu, who was at a disadvantage, had no room to resist. qi zishen pressed her head against the car door with a bang. when qi zishen heard the loud bang, he panicked and immediately let go. without restraint, li xiwus body suddenly slid down and she fell to the ground. the hair blurred li xiwus face. qi zishen walked closer and saw the blood on li xiwus face. it was so glaring that it made him panic. he did this on the spur of the moment. he did not wake up the moment he hit the car. instead, when he saw li xis misty face and bloodstained face, he finally woke up a little.. Chapter 293 - Chapter 293: Her Pregnancy chapter 293: her pregnancy translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations what did he do! he was killing someone! he had killed li xiwu! fear rose from the depths of his heart. qi zishen was afraid. really afraid. how could he kill someone? if li xiwu died, his life would really be over. when he got out of the car, he had already thought of his words. he would blame the accident on the brakes. that way, it would only be a car accident. as long as he achieved his goal of teaching li xiwu a lesson, it would be enough. but in the end, he couldnt withstand the provocation of that sentence. he pulled li xiwu out of the car like a madman and even knocked her until her face was covered in blood qi zishens lips trembled, his fingers trembled, and his stomach sank. he was so afraid that his legs went weak. he backed away slowly, trying to escape. before he could turn around, something knocked his head sharply. with a clang, the pain from the back of his head made qi zishen arch his back. then, his vision began to darken and he could not stand steadily. before he fell, he slowly turned around and saw that it was the driver who had been hiding and waiting for an opportunity. he was holding a fire extinguisher that was necessary in the car and throwing it at him. qi zishens lips moved, but he couldnt say a word. after falling to the ground, he fainted. the driver was worried that he wouldnt knock qi zishen out, so he used a lot of strength just now. at the same time, he ensured that he wouldnt directly smash him to death. fortunately, it went smoothly and he fainted. the driver threw down the fire extinguisher and quickly returned to li xiwus side. he carefully helped her up. young miss? young miss, how are you? li xiwu was still conscious. she was even clear minded. she also saw the driver appear with her own eyes and slowly walk over from behind qi zishen. then, without hesitation, he threw the fire extinguisher in his hand at the back of qi zishens neck. the driver saw the blood on li xiwus face and was filled with anxiety. ive already sent a message. the rescue car is on its way here im sorry, miss. i should have acted sooner. the driver had been hiding in front of the car. at that time, qi zishen was only angry at li xiwu and did not care where the driver went. there were only the three of them here, and the driver did not come out rashly. he had waited for too long. although he had chosen this opportunity to check and balance qi zishen, he had missed the critical moment and caused li xiwu to be seriously injured. li xiwus voice was weak. help me up. the driver did as he was told and carefully helped li xiwu up. she was not strong enough to support herself. she swayed and could not stand steadily. the driver steadied her. li xiwu closed her eyes. who did you text? the driver said, the old madam. li xiwu breathed a sigh of relief. okay. li xiwu fainted in the long wait. li xiwu slept for an unknown period of time. she was dreaming again. this time, dad wasnt the only one in the dream. there was another woman. she stood at a distance and saw her father and another woman sitting in the pavilion talking about something. she approached slowly, wanting to eavesdrop on what they were talking about. as she got closer, she heard her fathers voice. the representatives of both countries are still negotiating. there are rumors from the cabinet that if the negotiations dont work out this time, there should be a war. the woman said, so when do you plan to return to the country? li huaisheng looked at the woman who was worried about him. as the ambassador to country t, i cant leave yet. take little you back to china first. the woman was stubborn. no. i have to go with you. ah zhu, take little you back to shen city first. dont worry about me. although this war is inevitable, it wont be so soon. ive already submitted an application to return to the country. ill be a few days late at most. as he spoke, he pulled the woman in front of him into his arms with heartache. your health is more important. ive already contacted the hospital in shen city. youll be hospitalized when you return. the woman sobbed in li huaishengs arms. i want to wait for you to leave with me. li huaisheng sighed softly and hugged the woman in his arms even tighter. li xiwu slowly approached and heard the entire conversation. li huaisheng sensed someone walking over from behind and turned to look at li xiwu. father and daughter looked at each other. li xiwu said nothing, as if trying to determine if this was a dream or a memory. until li huaisheng called out to her, little you. the woman in his arms pulled away and turned to look at her. now li xiwu finally saw the womans face clearly. it was a very beautiful face. her facial features were bright and beautiful, and her skin and bones were extremely beautiful. however, such a beauty had a sick and haggard expression. she seemed to be sick. little you, come and sit here. professor han sent me grapefruit and gong citrus by international express. come and try them. the woman extended a hand to her, indicating that she should go over. li xiwu was silent for a moment before slowly walking towards the two of them. the woman took her hand and tried to raise a gentle smile on her sickly pale face. i heard from madam di xin that you plan to go to chunwu with her tomorrow? li xiwu was stunned. she was sure this was a dream, not a memory. if it was a memory, she should be able to understand their conversation. now she had nothing in her memory about country t, let alone memories of this place in chunwu. and this woman, who was so beautiful that she could shatter at any moment, seemed to be her mother? mo zhu looked at his daughter, who was in a daze, and gently pulled her hand. little you. li xiwu didnt know how to answer, so she nodded back. mo zhus gaze landed on li xiwus stomach. her other hand reached over and gently covered her stomach. if you dont want to go, dont go. your stomach is already so big. its not convenient outside. hearing this, li xiwu immediately looked down. her bulging stomach obscured some of her vision. all she could see was her toes. she looked shocked and stared at her stomach in disbelief. why is this happening? whats wrong? mo zhu got up and supported her. did the little guy kick you? li xiwu looked at mo zhu blankly. my stomach mo zhu smiled faintly. youve been taking care of me here for the past few months and almost never left the house. jingzhou cant see you even if he wants to. mom plans to return to the country soon. its been half a year since we last met. remember to tell jingzhou that youre coming back. mo zhu helped li xiwu sit down. li huaisheng took the tribute citrus on the table and peeled it for li xiwu. the older it gets, the heavier your body will be. how young are you? not only are you engaged to that boy from the pei family, but youre also pregnant with his child before the marriage. what will you do if he becomes a heartless man? go, go, go! mo zhu interrupted li huaisheng. putting aside the relationship between jingzhou and little you, even if such a thing really happens, a grandson is still a biological grandson. just take the surname li. are you afraid that our li family cant afford it? ill listen to you. his surname is li. ive even thought of a name. the boy will be called li yangui, and the girl will be called li yansheng. how about that? when he said the names, li huaisheng dipped his fingertips into the water glass and wrote these two names. after writing, li huaisheng handed the peeled citrus to li xiwu. try it quickly. its very sweet. li xiwu took the gong citrus and her gaze fell on the two names on the table. mo zhu said, both names sound good. it would be even better if they were twins. both names can be used. as she spoke, mo zhu looked at li xiwus stomach again. girl, madam di xin accompanied you for several prenatal checkups. you didnt tell us the situation. hows the baby? also, no matter how i look at it, your stomach looks like youre pregnant with twins.. are you planning to surprise your father and me? Chapter 294 - Chapter 294: Two Lives, Can ‘t Take the Bet chapter 294: two lives, can t take the bet translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu held her stomach, not knowing what to do. she saw her mother squat down close to her bulging stomach and press her cheek against it. let grandma hear if this little fellow is making a fuss in there. after listening for a while, mo zhu slowly frowned. li huaisheng asked, what did you hear? mo zhu glared at li huaisheng angrily. do you think you can hear everything just by listening! li huaisheng said, i heard that when you were pregnant with little you. i really heard it back then. this girl is not obedient at all. you suffered a lot when you were pregnant with her. mo zhu smiled and stood up. when you mentioned this, i was originally worried that little you would be the same as when i was pregnant. fortunately, the baby didnt torture her. after saying that, mo zhu looked at his daughters blank expression and reached out to hold her face. why are you so worried? li xiwus lips parted. she wanted to say something, but no sound came out. she didnt know why she couldnt make a sound. mo zhu smiled at her lovingly. dont worry. ive already promised your father that ill return to the country with you. lets go back to shen city first. mom will accompany you for a complete prenatal checkup. then, well set off for grandmas house in the capital. what do you think? li xiwu shook her head. she tried to speak, but she couldnt say a word. mo zhu asked her, you dont want to go back? li xiwus hand was trembling slightly as she held the gong citrus. she seemed to know. she knew what scene she was in. it was in a dream. she was experiencing what had happened with her current memories. every conversation now had really happened before. no wonder she couldnt say what she wanted to say. she could only repeat what shed said before speaking suddenly, the scene in the dream switched. she sat in a car as it drove through the streets of country t. there was no real winter in country t. there were only three seasons, the hot season, the rainy season, and the cold season. it was the cold season now, and there was no cold winter. while li xiwu was stunned by the sudden change in scene in front of her, madam di xin put a waistcoat on her. the window is open. be careful not to catch a cold when the wind blows in. li xiwu glanced sideways. it was madam di xin who was sitting in the car with her. in her dream, madam di xin was not much different from the madam di xin she had seen in reality. her silver-white hair was tied up, and she was graceful. li xiwus lips parted. madam di xin. yes. madam di xin smiled at her. have you thought it through? thought what through? li xiwu didnt know what that meant. madam di xin said slowly, your mothers condition isnt optimistic. recently, country t hasnt been peaceful. i guess your father is preparing to send you and your mother back to the country. the war might come at will, or it might be delayed for three to five years to maintain the surface peace, but at this time, those who know have already begun to make preparations. china is also prepared to evacuate the country at any time. its best for you to go back with your mother. with that, madam di xins gaze fell on her bulging stomach. dont be a gambler, little you. treasure the time you have with your mother now. li xiwu shook her head subconsciously. madam di xin took her wrist and held it in her palm to give her a sense of security. your mother loves you, and so does your father. they all want the best for you. little you, take my advice. your father is your prequel. you have to do his sequel well in the future and complete the unfinished business for him. li xiwu still shook her head. she didnt know what to say. suddenly, a tear fell on her wrist. she thought it was madam di xins tears, but realized too late that she was crying herself. madam di xins hand rose to wipe the tears from her cheeks. two lives. you cant afford to gamble. cord blood might not save your mother. in the end, youll lose these two children. cord blood save your mother two children li xiwus face was filled with disbelief. what had she experienced in the past? why was she even pregnant and her mother, now did her mother die youre pregnant without him knowing. he doesnt even have the right to know. how painful would it be if he found out about all this one day? little you, think about it carefully. li xiwu said nothing. but there was a voice deep inside her, and that voice was saying: but i cant live without my mother. the words came from deep inside, then became clearer. in the blink of an eye, the scene changed to the cold operating table. she was helpless and panicked. the doctor began to give her anesthesia. the long needle was stuck in the back of her spine. the scalpel sliced across her belly. there was no pain, but it felt so clear. li xiwu was shocked by this scene. shed never known shed had a child was this real? no! it wasnt real. it probably wasnt real. the scene after that suddenly stopped. li xiwu desperately wanted to know what happened after the child was cut out early. where was the child sent? where was her mother? how did she come back to the country? at that moment, she seemed to have fallen into an imaginary space. her body fell, and everything around her was black. when she could see, she found herself lying in the hospital. when she opened her eyes, she saw a white ceiling. the dream passed. was she finally awake? the door opened gently. li xiwu slowly turned her head. someone came in and she saw that the person walking in front was chen xin. pei jingzhou walked behind him. when he came in, his face was expressionless. until chen xin, who was standing in front of the bed, said, miss li, youre awake. li xiwu opened her mouth to speak. she wanted to call out to pei jingzhou, but her throat seemed to be blocked and she could not make a sound. thats not right why was it still the same as in her dream? she always couldnt make a sound when she was thinking about talking. she seemed to be supposed to say something else. that something was: who are you guys? when the words came out of her mouth, li xiwu froze. however, to her surprise, chen xin did not ask her what was wrong. instead, he introduced himself. hello, miss li. im chen xin, mr. peis assistant. why did chen xin say that? li xiwu didnt know what was wrong now. wasnt she already awake chen xin stepped back a little. mr. pei, the doctor said that the high fever has subsided. miss li is completely awake now. pei jingzhou stepped forward and slowly leaned over to look at her. unlike before, pei jingzhous eyes were emotionless when he looked at her. he stared at her for a moment. then his thin lips parted and he said her name. li xiwu. li xiwu was stunned and did not respond. pei jingzhou did not seem to need her to respond. he introduced himself calmly. my name is pei jingzhou. from today onwards, i am your husband. li xiwus pupils dilated. if it had made her feel strange just now, then now she finally realized what the situation was like. she wasnt awake yet. she was still in a dream. this dream was the first day she woke up after losing her memory and saw pei jingzhou.. Chapter 295 - Chapter 295: She Lost Everything chapter 295: she lost everything translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations when she woke up that day, her memory was fractured. all she remembered was that she had a high fever. since she lived alone, she didnt have many friends around her, and her life was a mess. she didnt have much contact with the neighbors around her, so no one realized that she had fainted at home at first. until she woke up and realized that she was in the hospital and saw pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou told her that he had met her by chance and remembered her. hence, he sent someone to inquire about her residence and found that she had fainted in the house because of a fever. at that time, she was very grateful to pei jingzhou. if not for pei jingzhou, she would probably have died in that room. no one would have known. when it stinks, someone will discover it by the smell and send it to be cremated. this short life will be over. however, she did not expect that her savior would want to marry her in return for saving her. the reason was: love at first sight. she was frightened, at a loss, and in disbelief. later on, she vaguely learned from assistant chen that pei jingzhou had taken a fancy to her not because it was love at first sight) but because she looked like the first love in pei jingzhous heart. knowing this truth, she relented. back then, life was a mess. if someone coaxed her with candy and treated her well, she would be willing to go with them. it was better than living alone as a walking corpse. even if she was just a substitute. hence, she agreed to be mrs. pei and marry pei jingzhou. on the first day after registering their marriage, chen xin brought her to the pei residence. what left a deep impression on her that night was pei jingzhous words. youre back. she had always thought that he had said that because she was so much like his first love that when he saw her, he had hallucinated and thought that his first love had returned. later, and only now, did she know that there was no substitute. the first love was her, and so was his only wife. that youre back was meant for her. it had nothing to do with anyone. this was the only way pei jingzhou could keep her by his side. and the so-called first meeting was actually a new life that she had just lost her memory and had her other memories tampered with. this dream seemed to have been going on for too long, so long that li xiwu felt that she was about to fall into an eternal sleep. why wasnt she awake yet little you. my darling. falling into the dark abyss, she finally heard a voice. that voice was trying to wake her up. at that moment, her consciousness turned into a gust of wind and she tried to rush upward, trying to break through the abyss and see light again. little you. little you the calls finally woke li xiwu. she opened her eyes and stared blankly for a long time. she didnt know what time it was, but her vision was blurry at first. she closed and opened them repeatedly before her vision slowly cleared. the dream wasnt complete. li xiwu dreamed intermittently of some of her past in country t. those past memories originally did not exist in her memories, but when they appeared in her dreams frame by frame, she could feel that she had experienced everything. in this dream, she was very confused and sad. she did not completely remember her past, but she personally experienced all kinds of past events. the only thing worth being happy about was that she saw her mother, mo zhu. old madam, young miss is awake. it was dao xis voice. li xiwu wanted to turn in the direction of the voice. when she turned around, she saw guan sulings worried face. darling. guan sulings eyes were red. she wanted to touch her, but she did not know where to start. she looked a little at a loss. li xiwu moved her lips. grandma. after calling her grandmother, she was sure she was really awake. she was free to make a sound, not like in her dream, when it became difficult to speak and she could only experience everything that had happened in a hoarse voice. guan suling watched as li xiwu woke up and felt relieved. dao xi, call the doctor. dao xi immediately went out to call the doctor. after a round of check ups, li xiwus health was fine. the injuries were mainly focused on the head. there was a lot of blood. fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time. it was not a big problem. after stabilizing, the doctor said, the patient needs a good rest. she might wake up tonight or tomorrow. that sounded reassuring. however, guan suling did not see li xiwu wake up with her own eyes. she was worried, so she stayed by the bed and did not leave. she had been guarding quietly. at first, she did not try to wake li xiwu. until li xiwu fell into a nightmare. she clearly had a sleeping face, but her brows would frown from time to time, and then she would cry. guan suling did not know what sad thing li xiwu had encountered in her dream. she was also crying when she fell asleep, so she shouted a few times. finally, li xiwu woke up. grandma, li xiwu called out. guan suling looked lovingly at li xiwus pale face. good girl) tell me. li xiwu asked, what time is it? beside her, dao xi replied, miss, its already seven in the evening. li xiwu thought that the live broadcast shouldnt be over yet, but even if it wasnt, it was impossible for her to go back and continue recording in her current terrible condition. as for what happened in the afternoon, she asked, wheres qi zishen? she remembered that the driver had knocked qi zishen out. guan suling snorted coldly. i gave him a pair of silver handcuffs. this time, qi zishen was considered an attempted murder. no matter what, he could not escape the outcome of being imprisoned. his next state should have been to retreat from the industry. although he no longer appeared on the screen frequently, his various private investment industries were doing well. other than those glamorous reputations, he could also live a better life. but he had been impulsive once, and only this time, had ruined all his future. from what dao xi said, the matter of qi zishens arrest had yet to be made public. he would handcuff him to the small black room. after the interrogation and the process, the capital public security bureau would publicize qi zishens arrest and his crimes on the internet at eight oclock tomorrow morning. there was no doubt that what he had done wrong this time would put him in prison. guan suling asked dao xi to call for a maid and helped li xiwu sit up. then, she picked up a cup of warm water. darling, drink some water. li xiwu did not feel a headache as she lay down. when she sat up, she felt a dull ache from the wound on her forehead. she reached out to take the warm water from guan suling. guan suling said, grandma will feed you. li xiwu wanted to say no. but guan suling had already fed her the water with a spoon. li xiwu did not refuse again. after drinking some water, her throat felt a little better. guan suling handed the cup to the servant and turned to ask, are you hungry? i asked the kitchen to cook porridge. li xiwu shook her head. her head was very bloated now, and she did not feel hungry at all. she asked, this doesnt seem to be a hospital. is this the mo residence? guan suling said, darling, this is a hospital. its the best ward. li xiwu already knew her current situation. her grandmother had arranged the best ward in the hospital for her. currently, only her grandmother and the people around her knew about her car accident. no one else knew yet. no, she did not return to north water town and did not appear in the live broadcast. pei jingzhou would not be able to wait for her after the live broadcast ended. she said to guan suling, grandma, i want to make a call. youre calling that pei guy, right? guan suling asked. li xiwu nodded. yes, im afraid hell be worried. guan suling said, he already called you. i answered. i said i picked you up halfway back to the mo residence? li xiwu looked at guan suling in confusion. the anger in guan sulings heart had yet to dissipate. he secretly hid you by his side. i havent settled this score with him yet. li xiwu smiled bitterly. he did it for guan suling said, i know. he did it so you wont be reminded of the past, but he should have told me that. i i would have held back from coming to see you. actually, she might not have been able to hold back. at this point, guan suling remembered that li xiwu had cried in her sleep. she asked with concern, darling, what did you dream about? you were crying so sadly even when you were asleep. li xiwu was stunned. what was she dreaming about her dream was incomplete, but she was so sad. it was as if she had lost her parents and her own child.. the dream was so real Chapter 296 - Chapter 296: Tell Everything chapter 296: tell everything translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations that night, guan suling accompanied li xiwu in the hospital for the entire dao xi asked the hospital to set up a bed next to li xiwus bed. guan suling said that it would be closer to li xiwu, and she would be at ease this way. however, li xiwu felt bad. after all, her grandmother was already old and needed to rest well at night. but she couldnt dissuade her grandmother from insisting. as for her grandmothers question about what she had dreamed of, li xiwu did not answer. she only said that she had a headache and wanted to sleep. hence, she slept until seven the next morning. the ward was quiet. her grandmother was still sound asleep in the next bed. last night, li xiwu slept very soundly and did not have any more dreams. on the other hand, guan suling, who was in the next bed, got up from time to time to check on li xiwu. she did not sleep well the entire night and only fell asleep at five or six oclock. it was still early. li xiwu got out of bed as quietly as possible and went to the bathroom. the sound of the comb falling in three minutes woke guan suling up. she quickly went to check on li xiwu. seeing that the bed was empty, guan suling was worried sick. darling, my good darling when guan suling got out of bed anxiously to look for li xiwu, the bathroom door opened. li xiwu walked out and said softly, grandma, im here. guan suling looked up in the direction of the voice. the moment she saw li xiwu, she didnt feel at ease. she got off the bed and walked over to hold li xiwus hand. only when she touched her did she feel that it was real. li xi knew that her grandmother was worried about her. she had already been worried about the car accident for the entire night. if she suddenly woke up and did not see her, she would definitely be very anxious. she explained, im fine. i just went to the bathroom. guan suling asked, what dropped just now? li xiwu replied, a comb. when she was about to comb her hair and look at herself in the mirror, some scenes from her dream flashed across her mind. unknowingly, the comb fell to the ground. clatter! the sound pulled her back to reality. she bent down to pick up the comb. she heard her grandmother calling her, so she had no choice but to put down the comb and come out quickly. when guan suling heard that it was a comb, she said, so my darling wants to comb her hair. just leave this to grandma. as she spoke, guan suling let go of her hand and went into the bathroom. inside, she removed a set of toiletries that were specially prepared for the ward. the hairbrush was one of them, similar to the equipment in a hotel. guan suling came over with a comb. the worry on her face had disappeared. she called out to li xiwu, darling, come, grandma will comb your hair. li xiwu agreed and walked to the bed. she sat down, and guan suling stood beside her. her hand touched li xiwus hair, and guan suling took a closer look. my darlings hair is really nice. the corners of li xiwus lips curled up. i usually take good care of it. guan suling: i think youre born with it, just like ah zhu. hearing her grandmother mention her mothers name, li xiwu pursed her lips and asked, grandma, how did my mother pass away? guan sulings hand that was holding the comb paused, and the smile on her face faded. darling, your mother is very outstanding. this was not the answer li xiwu wanted. she wanted to know how her mother passed away. however, when she saw her grandmothers expression, she did not continue asking. darling. guan sulings gentle voice called her. li xiwu hummed. guan suling asked, you injured your head in this car accident, did you remember something? li xiwu took a deep breath and wanted to shake her head and deny it. after thinking for a moment, she shook her head and denied it. no. after a pause, she said, i dont have any memories of the past. now that ive reunited with you, i know that i still have family in this world. pei jingzhou didnt tell me much about my parents, so i want to ask you. she lied. however, she did not want to say that she had seen some of the past in her dream. like fragments, she replayed them in her mind frame by frame, but she could not completely piece them together. she guessed that this was probably because she had been hypnotized back then, so her memory kept appearing intermittently. if it was caused by external factors, she should have remembered everything after the injury at mount liang. although guan suling was afraid that little you would remember the bad things in the past, she also realized that it was impossible to never mention the past in front of little you. now that little you had asked, guan suling told her, your mother passed away from illness. li xiwu raised her eyes slightly and looked in a certain direction. illness? after that, guan suling told li xiwu about mo zhus illness. her grandmother had not lied to her after all. ms. mo zhu was really outstanding. when she was young, she was the national chief translator. later, she was appointed as the mayor of shen city for five years and was the only female mayor in shen city in recent decades. it was no wonder that grandma loved her mother so much. in grandmas opinion, she was her most outstanding daughter and she was proud of her. one term was five years. five years later, ms. mo zhu stepped down as the mayor of shen city and brought her daughter to country t with li huaisheng to start her life in country t. during her years in country t, ms. mo zhu continued to work as a translator in the ministry of foreign affairs. later, a year before li you returned to the country to take on the job of press statement for the ministry of foreign affairs, ms. mo zhu suddenly fell ill. it was found out that it was leukemia. this illness was terrifying. it was the most painful during chemotherapy. her hair fell down one by one, like a hundred flowers withering and a dying tree. later, mo zhu died. according to her grandmother, li you had stayed by ms. mo zhus side that day. its a month later when the news of her death reached the country. when guan suling had heard the news, she had almost fainted. she insisted on going to country t to retrieve ms. mo zhus ashes. coincidentally, there was a commotion in country t at this moment. the road to country t was ruthlessly cut off. not long after, news of her son-in-law and granddaughters deaths spread. such news was worse than a nightmare for guan suling. her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter had all passed away overseas. under such a blow, guan suling fell sick and lay in bed for more than two months before she could get out of bed and walk. after the chaos ended, guan suling personally went to country t to pick up the ashes of her daughter and son-in-law. ms. mo zhus ashes were very complete. li huaishengs ashes were only a little. because only a few of his remains were found, li yous remains were nowhere to be found. those people told guan suling that her remains should have been burned to ashes and blown away by the wind, back to the eastern lands guan sulings body swayed unsteadily a few times. dao xi, who was beside her, supported her. she looked up at the sky with tears streaming down her face. that was the direction of the eastern lands. little you had already been brought back by the wind guan suling forced herself not to fall. before she went back, she went to the place where li huaisheng and li you had died. she wanted to take another look, but the place before her was still in ruins. when she saw that the damaged building was being repaired and that all had become history, her shaky body was still unable to hold on. she could not even see little yous ashes.. she could only wail in the ruins Chapter 297 - Chapter 297: 1 Love You Too chapter 297: 1 love you too translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu thought that after experiencing those dreams, she could already accept everything in the past. however, when she really found out about the past, she still found it difficult to calm down. if not for these intermittent dreams and hearing her grandmothers words, li xiwu might not have been moved much because her blank memories could not affect any of her emotions. however, with these intermittent dreams, after learning about these karma, her heart felt as if it had been weighed down by a thousand kilograms, and she almost couldnt breathe. guan suling could see li xiwus sadness. darling, its all in the past. live well by grandmas side in the future. li xiwu turned around and hugged guan suling tightly. for the first time, she wailed, grandma guan sulings heart ached terribly. she put down the comb and patted li xiwus back gently. good girl, grandma is here. grandma will always be with you. li xiwu cried for a long time. she couldnt stop crying. guan suling regretted it. she should not have told her darling so much about the past, but she could not bear to keep it from her. she was clearly thinking about not telling her in a hurry yesterday. however, if her darling really remembered it herself, she would be in so much pain. now, at least let her know about these things first. when she really remembered everything one day, she might be able to let go of it and not continue to suffer. it was almost dawn. it was midwinter, and there was a layer of frost on the glass. it was blurry, and she could not see the first rays of morning light shining on the glass. guan suling tied her hair up and pinned an emerald green hairpin on it. this hairpin belonged to guan suling. she had used this hairpin yesterday. now, she was putting it on li xiwu. guan suling looked at it left and right. the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she was. it really suits you. li xiwu said, im going to look in the mirror. with that, she got up and went to the washroom. buzz buzz buzz not long after li xiwu entered the bathroom, the phone on the cabinet vibrated. guan suling took the comb and placed it on the cabinet. she looked at the caller id on the phone. it was from pei jingzhou. guan suling sighed softly. in the washroom, li xiwus face was reflected in the mirror. she had not eaten anything since yesterday afternoon and night. now that she was hungry, her face was still pale. the white gauze on her forehead was especially eye-catching. it made her look like shes going to be blown to the ground by the wind if she walked out like this. the injury this time looked the same as last time, as if it was in the same position. upon closer inspection, she realized that it wasnt. the last time, the wound was in her hairline. this time, it was on the outside. she didnt know the exact condition of the wound. she looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. she wiped her tears and turned to leave. as soon as she came out of the washroom, li xiwu heard the buzzing sound. she walked over. grandma, is that my cell phone? guan suling picked up her phone and handed it to li xiwu. that kid surnamed pei called you. li xiwu took the cell phone and saw the caller id on the screen. just as she was about to pick it up, the call was hung up. she froze. beside her, guan suling told her, this is the second call. its been ringing for a long time, but i didnt pick up. it stopped ringing when i passed it to you. li xiwu nodded and sniffed to calm herself down. she turned around and walked to the window to call pei jingzhou. guan suling pulled her back. lie down or sit down. dont stand. what if you fall down because youre dizzy? grandma wont disturb your call. li xiwu listened to guan suling and nodded. then, she sat obediently by the bed. she was about to call bac when pei jingzhou called again. li xiwu picked up the call and placed the phone to her ear. fourth brother. on the other end of the line, pei jingzhous voice was calm. honey. li xiwu replied softly, mm. pei jingzhou asked her, where are you? li xiwu said, at grandmas house. she knew that she could not hide it, so she should let pei jingzhou know. anyway, there were still two to three hours. when the police announced what qi zishen had done yesterday, pei jingzhou would know immediately. because pei jingzhou loved her and cared about her, she was afraid to see pei jingzhou lose control because of his anger. li xiwu. after a long time, pei jingzhou called her name. li xiwu came back to her senses. yes. pei jingzhou said, ive been to the mo residence. youre not there. li xiwu was stunned. pei jingzhou said in a low voice, tell me, where are you? although guan suling did not have heavenly abilities, if she wanted to hide li xiwus whereabouts, pei jingzhou would not be able to find out. furthermore, there was indeed nothing unusual between yesterday afternoon and last night. but pei jingzhou was certain that li xiwu was not in the mo residence. li xiwu took a deep breath and steadied her breathing. she chatted with him, fourth brother, what will you do if i betray you one day? pei jingzhou knew that she was changing the topic. relationship or betrayal of money? li xiwus voice became lighter. what if its both? pei jingzhou said, the money is all yours. im also yours. you can ruin me however you want. just dont abandon me. li xiwus gloomy mood improved slightly because of pei jingzhous words. pei jingzhou quickly changed the topic. where are you? li xiwu pursed her lips and said in a low voice, hospital. the other end of the line went silent. li xiwu hurriedly said, its just a fall. its nothing serious. i can jump, skip, eat, and drink. i can also tell fourth brother that i love you. in the end, she chose to tell him the truth because she could not bear to hide it from him anymore. pei jingzhou asked softly, which hospital? li xiwu told him the name of the hospital. before the call ended, pei jingzhou said, i love you too. li xiwu felt as if she had been hit in the heart. not only did it not hurt, but it also made her fall. when she put down her phone, li xiwus lips curled into a smile. guan suling walked over. only he can make you so happy. li xiwu pursed her lips. i married him, grandma. of course i know. at the mention of this, guan suling was a little angry. before this, i thought that pei jingzhou had fallen in love with someone else. although i havent seen him for four years, i know that i wont be nice to him. li xiwu could tell that her grandmother had a prejudice against pei jingzhou. initially, she thought that he had fallen in love with someone else, so she did not like pei jingzhou. now, because he hid her away and missed her, she did not like pei jingzhou. guan suling continued, but since youre married, grandma naturally wont force you to separate. in this world, nothing is more important than happiness. its my business if i dont like him. it has nothing to do with you. dont worry. li xiwu smiled and nodded. ten minutes later, the door of the ward opened. dao xi came in and said) old madam, that mr. pei is here. should we stop him? guan suling snorted. can you stop him? forget it, let him in. this kid is probably worried sick. dont think i dont know that he barged into the mo residence last night. pei jingzhou walked in just as the sentence finished.. Chapter 298 - Chapter 298: He Was Afraid That She Would Be In A Difficult Position chapter 298: he was afraid that she would be in a difficult position translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations when pei jingzhou arrived at the hospital, the chauffeur was supposed to drive, but pei jingzhou pulled him down. chen xin sat in the front passenger seat, his hand tightly gripping the handle as he thought to himself, i want to live for another 500 years the car was moving too fast. chen xin could understand mr. peis anxiety and worry. therefore, after arriving at the hospital and getting out of the car, chen xin waited until mr. pei entered the hospital before holding the car door and kneeling down. after a while, chen xin stood up with the help of the car door. however, his walking posture was a little awkward. outside the ward. chen xin walked in and saw mr. pei standing there. he did not enter and subconsciously thought that the people inside were not allowing him to enter. after all, the old madam of the mo family was still there and there were so many bodyguards guarding her. mr. pei probably could not enter. chen xin walked over and stood beside pei jingzhou. mr. pei, why dont you call madam again? he asked madam to talk to old madam mo and open the door for mr. pei to enter. pei jingzhou glanced sideways. chen xin. chen xin quickly responded, aye. pei jingzhou asked, do you think.. she lied to me? chen xin was stunned by this question. madam said that she had suffered a small injury, but she was hospitalized. if it was really a small injury, she would have gone back after treating her wound. why would she be hospitalized? chen xin wanted to say something but hesitated. pei jingzhou retracted his gaze and placed his hand on the doorknob. he pressed down and the door opened! it turned out that mr. pei was in such a hurry to come up, but he was not in a hurry to enter. it was not because he was blocked outside by old madam mo) but because he was afraid of seeing the scene that he was afraid of. for example, madam was seriously injured in the ward, li xiwu and guan suling were talking. at this moment, the door suddenly opened. li xiwu looked up and saw pei jingzhou. he seemed to have arrived even earlier than she had expected. li xiwu slowly stood up. when she stood up, she could feel a slight pain in her knee, but it was not that obvious. she saw pei jingzhou coming in and seeing her, and suddenly stopped in his tracks. li xiwu knew that he had seen the bandage on her forehead. the corners of her lips moved and her voice was dry. fourth brother. pei jingzhou walked over and stood in front of her. he sized her up with his sharp gaze. the most eye-catching wound was on her forehead. he did not respond and only looked at her quietly for a long time. li xiwu noticed that pei jingzhous forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. he could rush over in such a short time. she said, fourth brother must have sped. pei jingzhou subconsciously denied it. no. li xiwu raised her hand and wiped the thin layer of sweat on his forehead with her sleeve. you lied, right? pei jingzhou was speechless. while wiping his sweat, pei jingzhou was quiet and did not say a word. li xiwu felt that he was a little stiff, so she took the initiative and asked him, do you want some water? grandma just boiled some water. i warmed a cup. pei jingzhou said, okay. li xiwu put her hand down, rolled up her sleeves, and turned around to get a glass of water. pei jingzhou grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. his movements were careful, as if she was a porcelain doll that had been pieced together. if he was not careful, he would break her. pei jingzhous heart swelled. his gaze landed on the gauze on her forehead. here again. li xiwu did not use her hair to cover the gauze. it was too obvious. even if she did, it would be useless. she raised her face openly and let him see her. its just a small injury. it doesnt hurt. pei jingzhou said, how can it not hurt? li xiwu smiled. does fourth brothers heart ache? pei jingzhous voice was stifled. yes. guan suling did not disturb the two of them. she walked away silently so that they could have a good chat. chen xin was about to leave when pei jingzhou stopped him. chen xin. chen xin immediately turned around. pei jingzhou said, go to the attending doctor. chen xin nodded, ill go now. pei jingzhou didnt know the exact condition of li xiwus body, so he asked chen xin to go to the doctor to understand the situation. after chen xin left, he closed the door considerately. the atmosphere instantly fell silent. li xiwu gestured to pei jingzhou. fourth brother, let go. pei jingzhou asked, where are you going? li xiwu said, ill get you some water. pei jingzhou laughed angrily. are you a patient or am i a patient? li xiwu thought for a moment and said, it seems to be me. pei jingzhou sighed and pulled li xiwu to the bed. sit down. li xiwu did as instructed. pei jingzhou turned around and went to get the glass of water that li xiwu was using just now. he returned and drank it in front of her. li xiwu smiled. fourth brother is so obedient. pei jingzhou looked down at her. youre the one whos not obedient. the smile on li xiwus face faded a little. this was an accident. pei jingzhou put the cup aside and controlled his emotions well. at least he did not lose control in front of her. how did it happen? li xiwu pursed her lips and said nothing. she remembered clearly how this happened. speaking of which, it might have something to do with pei jingzhou. that live-stream was something she did not expect at first. she wanted to go back and continue recording the show after the discussion. because of the live-stream, she angered qi zishen, causing these things to happen. it was also because of this that li xiwu did not speak for a long time. pei jingzhou saw that she was depressed. even if you dont tell me, ill find out later. li xiwu looked up at him. arent you concerned about my current mood? why are you asking me how this happened? am i not that important? pei jingzhou narrowed his eyes and fell silent. only li xiwu knew that she was being unreasonable. she was afraid that pei jingzhou would blame himself. pei jingzhou slowly leaned over with a gentle expression. does your head hurt? he knew that she wouldnt say it for a while, so he didnt chase after her to clarify in case she was unhappy. the corners of li xiwus lips curled up. im much better now. pei jingzhou said, you havent had breakfast yet, right? li xiwu nodded. mm. pei jingzhou took out his phone. seeing this, li xiwu said, grandma has prepared breakfast. pei jingzhous hand paused. then, he put away his cell phone and fell silent. actually, li xiwu could tell that pei jingzhou had a lot to say. because she was unwilling to say more, he held back and did not ask, afraid that she would be put in a difficult position. she reached out to him. pei jingzhous gaze landed on her open palm. without hesitation, he handed it to her. li xiwu gently held pei jingzhous hand. youre sitting and talking to me like this. it feels like youre lecturing me. i dont even dare to talk to you anymore. it was rare for her tone to be so soft. pei jingzhous heart softened and he immediately compromised. he replied, okay. he moved to the chair beside him and sat down. li xiwu knew that he would compromise. it was precisely because she knew that she had deliberately said that. to be more precise, she had already controlled pei jingzhou. she smiled at the thought.. Chapter 299 - Chapter 299: That Was Pei Jingzhou’s Most Difficult Year chapter 299: that was pei jingzhous most difficult year translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the atmosphere was quiet. li xiwu did not know what to say. she could tell that pei jingzhou wanted to know too much. the scenes that had appeared in her dream appeared in front of her eyes. she thought for a few seconds and tried to find a topic to talk about. four years ago, did you expect us to have a child? to pei jingzhou, this topic was very different. but he would still answer her seriously. i have. li xiwu pursed her lips. then four years ago pei jingzhou looked at her. what are you trying to say? what happened four years ago was not far away, but li xiwu did not have any memories. she relied on the frames of her dream to remind her of what had happened in the dream. she did not know which was real and which were illusions in the dream. for example, she had once lost a child she was very sad in her dreams because she had experienced it personally in her dreams. however, when she woke up, she was very empty and lost. her blank memories could not be felt personally. she hesitated for a long time before finally asking, have we ever had a child? her voice was soft as she asked this question. pei jingzhous jaw tightened. why do you ask? li xiwu said, im getting more and more curious about the past. if youve thought it through, ill bring you to that place, pei jingzhou said. where was that place? li xiwu thought of it. it was a place where she could be hypnotized again and help her completely regain her memory. previously, it was because li xiwu had not thought it through. once she regained her memory, it meant that she had to bear the pain of the past. however, if she had really thought it through, pei jingzhou would not stop her from regaining her memory. li xiwu lowered her eyes. i do want to know, but i havent thought it through yet. fourth brother, you havent answered my question just now. [have we ever had a child?] did they? pei jingzhou replied, no. this answer was both expected and unexpected. it seemed that the bulging stomach in the dream was a scene that had been formed by imagination, but she felt that it was very real pei jingzhou looked at her and said seriously, if you want a child in the future, well adopt one. if you want it now, you can adopt it now. ill arrange it. you can go to the orphanage in a few days. li xiwu asked, why must we adopt him? pei jingzhou said, its fine if you dont want to adopt it. make it into a test tube, if you can accept it. the fact that he said this so frankly meant that he had no intention of hiding the fact that he could not give birth anymore. li xiwu had joked in front of qiao qiao when she said that pei jingzhou couldnt give birth because she had checked that there was nothing wrong with her and that she was fertile. it must be pei jingzhous fault that she was not pregnant. it was common for men to undergo vasectomy, but li xiwu would never believe it if it happened to pei jingzhou. therefore, she joked in front of qiao qiao that pei jingzhou couldnt give birth. unexpectedly, pei jingzhou heard it. however, he did not explain anything at that time. he only said that if he wanted a child, he would adopt it or make test tubes. she hesitated for a few seconds. although she did not believe it, she still asked the question in her heart, fourth brother, did you have a vasectomy? pei jingzhou guessed that li xiwu would ask this question. he said, no. the atmosphere fell silent again. for a moment, neither of them spoke. after a long time, li xiwu slowly said, actually, i dont believe it either. its just that im still very curious, so i asked. pei jingzhou slowly stood up and sat down beside her instead of sitting opposite her. he pulled her over and only felt at ease when he touched her. i should have told you about this, but there hasnt been a suitable occasion to mention it. since youre asking now, ill tell you. li xiwu raised her eyebrows. huh? pei jingzhou said, i was seriously injured four years ago. seriously injured four years ago. li xiwu suddenly remembered that han qianye had told her that pei jingzhou had been in the icu for seventeen days. however, at that time, han qianye had deliberately messed up the time and said that it was six or seven years ago. after that, she corrected the time and said that it was four years ago. thinking of this, she asked, was it the time when you were in the icu for seventeen days? pei jingzhous knuckles curled slightly as he held li xiwus arm. he was a little emotional. you remember now? no, li xiwu said truthfully. previously, i asked auntie indirectly. she told me that you were in the icu for seventeen days. after saying that, she confirmed to him again, you said that you were seriously injured four years ago. is that the time? pei jingzhou replied, yes. li xiwu held her breath and her reaction was slow. what exactly did you experience four years ago? her expression spoke volumes of her urgency. she desperately wanted to know what had happened to pei jingzhou four years ago. seeing that she was anxious, pei jingzhou tightened his grip on her and pulled her into his arms. he rested his chin on the top of her head. i had experienced numerous difficulties and brought you back to home. li xiwu felt the reality of pei jingzhou hugging her tightly. so, the price for bringing me back is to stay in the icu for seventeen days pei jingzhou said, thats nothing. li xiwu pulled out of his arms and said stubbornly, seventeen days in the icu, not a normal ward. do you know what this means? it means that you were loitering at the entrance of hell for seventeen days and could be arrested at any time! li xiwu lost control of her emotions. if you hadnt survived back then, i wouldnt have you. this last sentence touched pei jingzhou. he reached out and pulled her back into his arms. i was conscious for eleven days among those seventeen days in the icu. li xiwu choked. pei jingzhou said, in those seventeen days, i just kept thinking about you and survived. li xiwus eyes welled up with tears. that was pei jingzhou i s most difficult year. every year, he would fly to country t for more than 200 days. that year, he did not see li xiwu for more than six months. it was because ms. mo zhu was sick and li xiwu had to stay by ms. mo zhus side to recuperate. therefore, pei jingzhou compromised and did not go to country t to look for her. during those six months, he had never stopped contacting li xiwu. he often videocalled, too. he was worried that because of ms. mo zhus health, she would not care about her own health. he was worried that she would lose weight, that she would not sleep well, and that she would be bored and have no one to relieve her boredom. fortunately, she was in good condition every time she was on a video call. she even looked better and better. her originally small face was now round and smooth. he relaxed a little this was because she had taken good care of herself during the few months when she was accompanying ms. mo zhu for chemotherapy in country t. later on, he went to country t because he found out that there was going to be chaos in county t. he was going to pick her up.. Chapter 300 - Chapter 300: She Was Going to Country T chapter 300: she was going to country t translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations however, when he went to country t, he found out that ms. mo zhu had passed away more than a month ago. in that month, li xiwu had changed a lot. she was thin and haggard. she didnt say a word all day and was always alone. she quietly carried ms. mo zhus urn. li huaisheng should have been in more pain than his daughter, but he needed to shoulder his responsibilities and work late every night to numb himself. only li xiwu could give up on herself and live every day in a daze. until that day, li huaisheng handed li xiwu to pei jingzhou and asked him to bring her back to the country. pei jingzhou agreed, but an accident still happened after that. li xiwu was unwilling to leave, but she saw li huaisheng die under the artillery fire with her own eyes. at that moment, she seemed to have gone crazy. she rushed in to look for li huaisheng, but pei jingzhou pulled her back. she cried her heart out in pei jingzhous arms and kept shouting, save my father. i beg you, pei jingzhou. i beg you. save my father. hes there. hes there pei jingzhou only said, okay. he went. if he went in the direction li xiwu pointed out to find li huaisheng, there might really be a glimmer of hope. or perhaps, he could even bring back li huaishengs remains. he placed her in a safe place and went to look for li huaisheng. cannon fire roared, and smoke filled the air. there was wailing everywhere. those who could not hide in the depths of the subway in time fled everywhere on the ground. this area had already been covered by the flames of war. when the cannon fire sounded again, pei jingzhou almost couldnt come out. he heard li xiwu calling out to him from outside. she repeated it over and over again, calling his name. he crawled out, covered in injuries. at that moment, he saw li xiwu rushing towards him without any regard for anything. at that moment, a powerful airflow surged towards them. before li xiwu could get close to pei jingzhou, the two of them were repelled by the airflow. right on the heels of that, a huge explosion occurred. that was the power of the empires air missile launch. after being bounced off, li xiwu was already unconscious. pei jingzhous life was on the line. fortunately, pei jingzhou had arranged everything in advance. the private plane took a safe route and returned to the country smoothly. these were pei jingzhous memories, but li xiwu did not know about them. he only said, after that serious injury, it hurt the foundation of my body. so it was very difficult to make you pregnant naturally. li xiwu saw that pei jingzhou had been in a daze for a long time. she did not know what he was thinking. now that she heard what he said. she finally understood why he kept saying that he wanted to adopt a child. perhaps she was too depressed just now. she tried to say something to ease her emotions. fourth brother, do you know that its illegal to hide the fact that you cant have children before marriage? you can apply to annul the marriage. pei jingzhou asked her, do you want to annul it? li xiwu said in a serious tone, i have to think about it. pei jingzhous jaw tightened. its illegal, but i wont change it. li xiwu stuck out her nose. then lets not change it. anyway, i have no intention of getting a divorce and remarrying. i only have another plan. pei jingzhou asked, what plan? li xiwu: i plan to struggle and strive with you to the death. pei jingzhou smiled. you have to keep your word. the smile on li xiwus lips widened. okay. she also said, it depends on fate to have a child. if you want to make test tubes, i have no problem. if you want to adopt, i agree. pei jingzhou asked her, if we adopt, will you still want yaoyao? li xiwu was stunned. the scene in her dream suddenly flashed across her mind. she was pregnant and sitting in the same car as madam di xin. what madam di xin meant was that she was pregnant behind pei jingzhous back. as for why she got pregnant without telling pei jingzhou, li xiwu could not figure it out. it was probably because she couldnt imagine logically speaking, if she was really pregnant, it was impossible for pei jingzhou not to know, because she couldnt hide it. unless she was pregnant with someone elses child and did not dare to tell pei jingzhou? when this thought appeared in her mind, li xiwus eyebrows twitched fiercely. her expression was horrified for a few seconds before it quickly returned to normal. pei jingzhou saw the change in his expression in these few seconds. what are you afraid of? li xiwu was stunned. she looked up at pei jingzhou. at this moment, pei jingzhous gaze was gentle and his expression was extremely gentle. she was too guilty and was afraid that such a thing would happen, so she looked terrified. she even looked at pei jingzhous gentle gaze as if she was scrutinizing him. she immediately stood up. she walked to the end of the bed and took a deep breath to calm herself down. no, no! she kept refuting her baseless guess in her heart. it definitely couldnt be. she used to be so in love with pei jingzhou, so she definitely wouldnt get pregnant with someone else. however, why did she hide it from pei jingzhou? besides, she was pregnant for so many months, and pei jingzhou still did not know li xiwu was about to go berserk. she slowly took a step back and bumped into pei jingzhou. he wrapped his arm around her waist. why do you suddenly look so guilty? li xiwu stuttered out of guilt. huh? really? did i? pei jingzhou looked at her quietly. his gaze had always been very oppressive. this kind of oppression had always been given to others, but when li xiwu felt guilty, this kind of gaze was also a little oppressive to her. li xiwu hurriedly said, im not guilty. i just need to digest the fact that you hid the fact that you couldnt have children before you got married. pei jingzhou said, thats not what you said just now. huh? just now? what did i just say? her mind was muddled and she forgot about it. pei jingzhou reminded her, if you want to make test tubes, theres no problem. if you want to adopt, youll agree. li xiwu nodded. yes, yes, yes. pei jingzhou smiled. yes? li xiwu: he was teasing her. seeing how flustered she was, he chuckled softly. are you hungry? the topic changed. it would have been better if he hadnt asked. li xiwu only felt hungry after asking. she nodded. yes, im very hungry. pei jingzhou asked, i asked chen xin to prepare breakfast. it will be delivered soon. li xiwu said, grandma has also prepared breakfast. it should be here soon. there were two servings. pei jingzhou said, then eat more of each. its nourishing. li xiwu smiled. okay. since the topic had already changed, li xiwu quickly put aside all these guesses. at least until they were confirmed, these guesses were groundless. she couldnt go and scare herself. even if she was pregnant, it would definitely be pei jingzhous. it was impossible for her to cheat on him. however, if she wanted to confirm these guesses, she had to meet madam di xin. perhaps meeting madam di xin would solve the problem in her heart. after the recording of the show ended, she had to make a trip to country t.. Chapter 301 - Chapter 301: The Whole Net Reported That He Was Caught chapter 301: the whole net reported that he was caught translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations at nine in the morning, the police officially released the official news. #actor qi was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. this person confessed to his crimes # this news shocked the entire internet. moreover, as soon as the police released this news, all the major platforms were carrying out forwarding and pushing. anyone who was looking at their cell phones would immediately see this explosive news pop up. in order to protect the victim, the police did not announce the name of the victim. this time, the public opinion reached its peak [so-and-so qi? could it be qi zishen? he just collapsed yesterday and was arrested today?] [the title of the push is #qi zishen got caught #. obviously, the qi that the police reported is qi zishen himself!] [true fans expressed that i was still waiting for qi zishen to make a statement, but when i heard that he was going to jail] [could it be that qi zishen has resentment in his heart after being exposed this time, so he tried to kill ji weiling?] [if he really deliberately tried to kill ji weiling, then this man is too scary.] [as expected, the end of the melon is a white word on a blue background.] [a thousand days to build a tall building, yet only a day is needed for it to collapse.] [ive always thought that qi zishen was a gentleman. thank you. my worldview has been refreshed.] the popularity was getting higher and higher. there was already a exclusive label behind the top trending topic. at the same time, ji weiling, who had woken up from the phone, was very confused. she thought that someone was in a hurry to find her, but when she saw the missed calls on her cell phone, she realized that they were all from different people. moreover, they were all calls from some friends in the industry, including president qi. ji weiling picked up qi jiangchis call. hello, president qi. qi jiangchi asked her worriedly, how are you now? ji weiling stammered, i-im at home. qi jiangchi said, youre fine? ji weiling said, im fine. i just woke up. she was woken up by the frequent phone notices. she was still a little confused and didnt know what had happened. she just vaguely guessed that it had something to do with what happened yesterday. she was quite nervous, afraid that these calls werent good. after all, she had torn qi zishen apart, and qi zishen had so many connections in the industry. as she thought this, she heard president qi say, its good that youre fine. find someone to cooperate with you recently, or dont go out alone. qi zishen can harm you. hes in jail. his mother will probably go crazy. im afraid shell find trouble with you. the more ji weiling listened, the more confused she became. in the end, she was already dumbfounded. just as qi jiangchi was about to end the call, ji weiling quickly shouted, wait, president qi! qi jiangchi heard ji weilings anxious voice from the receiver and pressed the phone back to his ear. whats wrong? ji weiling asked nervously, president qi, what do you mean by qi zishen harming me? qi jiangchi reacted quickly and asked the main point. you havent seen qi zishen since the live-stream yesterday? ji weiling answered truthfully, at that time, qi zishen was taken away from my house by his manager. i didnt leave the house from afternoon to night and didnt see qi zishen again. another call came in. before ji weiling could say anything, qi jiangchi had already hung up. the busy tone came from the receiver. ji weiling took off her cell phone in a daze. a few seconds later, she picked up another call. it was all from a friends concern. after a few consecutive calls, it was the same. ji weiling was a little flustered. she clearly did not go out yesterday. how could qi zishen harm her? how did he harm her? ji weiling saw the news feed and immediately clicked on it. seeing that it was a car accident, ji weilings hand trembled. miss lin. at the hospital. li xiwu had just finished breakfast. the three of them ate breakfast together, including pei jingzhou and grandma. guan suling was exceptionally clear-headed. she did not give pei jingzhou a hard time in front of li xiwu. if she did not dislike him, it would be obvious that li xiwu would be in a difficult position, not pei jingzhou. therefore, guan suling did not say a word about pei jingzhou during breakfast. after breakfast, pei jingzhou went out to answer a call. guan suling knew what was going on. she watched pei jingzhou leave and said, dao xi said that all the major news were reporting the news just now. that kid surnamed pei probably knows, but hes already locked up in the police station. what else can he do? li xiwu didnt answer her grandmother. she reached out and fiddled with the flowers on the table. grandma, i like these flowers very much. lets buy another bouquet when we go back, okay? of course. guan suring walked over. this hyacinth is very fragrant, but you cant smell it for long. it will increase the burden on your internal organs. smell it occasionally to refresh your mind. its suitable for you now. that was why guan suling asked dao xi to buy a bouquet of hyacinths. li xiwu leaned closer to smell the fragrance of the hyacinth. i like it very much. as long as you like it. guan suling looked at li xiwu dotingly. no matter how she looked at it, she was happy. it was too rare to recover from a loss. she had to guard her baby well in the future until the day she couldnt. buzz buzz buzz. her cell phone was vibrating. guan suling picked it up and handed it to li xiwu. darling, your call. okay. li xiwu took the cell phone and saw that the caller id was qi jiangchi. she did not avoid her grandmother and picked it up. she called out, president qi. qi jiangchis voice came from the phone. where are you? li xiwu guessed the reason for qi jiangchis call and replied, im with my grandmother. qi jiangchi said, grandmother? li xiwu said, mhm. arent you an orphan? the question was on qi jiangchis lips and he almost asked it directly. he swallowed it and asked, whos your grandmother? yesterday, when guan suling said that she was li xiwus grandmother, it was before the live-stream. therefore, qi jiangchi did not know who li xiwus grandmother was. li xiwu laughed softly. my grandmother is guan suling gestured for li xiwu to give her the phone. although it was not on speaker, the two of them were close enough for guan suling to hear qi jiangchis voice on the receiver. li xiwu handed the phone to her grandmother. qi jiangchi didnt hear li xiwu i s answer and said, li xiwu, are you still listening? guan suling replied on behalf of li xiwu, im guan suling. qi jiangchi heard another persons voice on the phone. at first glance, it did not sound like an old persons voice. it was powerful and full of energy. however, to qi jiangchi, the voice was not important. what was important was that name. in addition, it was fine if her name was guan suling, but she even used a humble term to call herself!! qi jiangchi was clearly still in the car heading to the company. when he heard the name guan suling, he straightened his posture. he cleared his throat and greeted in a proper tone, old madam mo, hello. im li xiwus colleague. my name is qi jiangchi.. Chapter 302 - Chapter 302: All Hail, Little Princess chapter 302: all hail, little princess translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations actually, he was her superior. however, in front of old madam mo, qi jiangchi did not say that and called them colleagues. guan suling nodded. you wanted to know my name just now. ill tell you now. okay, ill give the phone to my darling. qi jiangchi quickly said, okay, i wish you good health. guan suling smiled. everyone else says fancy things. youre an honest person, kid, but i like to hear them. with that, guan suling returned the phone to li xiwu. alright, darling, continue answering the phone. okay. li xiwu suppressed a smile and took the cell phone. guan suling went to the other side and did not disturb li xiwu from answering the phone. li xiwu tilted her head and wedged the phone between her head and shoulder. she fiddled with the hyacinth in the vase with both hands. president qi, its me. qi jiangchi dont even dare to breathe loudly just now. your grandmother is the old madam of the mo family? li xiwu answered. yes. qi jiangchi clicked his tongue. li xiwu, youre unscrupulous. li xiwu asked, unscrupulous? isnt that so? qi jiangchis tone was filled with complaints. i thought that president pei was already your strong background. i didnt expect your grandmother to still be the old princess of the mo family. youre quite capable. li xiwu still couldnt suppress the smile on her lips. does my identity and background mean that i have some skills? others identity and background might not be, but your identity and background must be! qi jiangchi said firmly. with that, qi jiangchi did not forget to tease li xiwu. your grandmother is an old princess. in that case, youre a little princess. i, qi jiangchi, actually managed to get close to the royal family in my lifetime. li xiwu smiled and said, thats enough. the royal family was in the past. its modern society now. qi jiangchi said, yes, yes, yes, little princess. li xiwu said, you.. qi jiangchi said, long live, little princess. li xiwu: forget it, she couldnt be bothered to argue with him. after saying, if theres nothing else, ill hang up. she took down her phone and qi jiangchi quickly called out to her, li xiwu, wait. its serious! its serious! i havent said it yet. li xiwu asked, what serious matter? qi jiangchi asked her, you know about qi zishens arrest, right? li xiwu said, yes, i know. qi jiangchi hesitated for a few seconds before asking, currently, the police have announced that it was a car accident. qi zishen deliberately tried to kill someone. do you know who the person he attempted to kill was? li xiwu did not beat around the bush with qi jiangchi. me. the other end of the line went silent. li xiwus tone was light. im fine. think about it. if i wasnt fine, who would brag to you now? qi jiangchi took a deep breath. were you afraid at the time? to be honest, a little. who wouldnt be afraid when they were on the verge of death unless they saw through the mortal world? li xiwu thought that she had not seen through the mortal world. she had pei jingzhous love and had even found her family. she wanted to live happily and passionately forever. qi jiangchi was in a low mood. this person is really crazy. li xiwu said, my words also agitated him at that time, but its fine now. thank you for your concern, president qi. its a small injury. ill get back to work soon. qi jiangchi adjusted his tone. why are you in such a hurry! after a pause, he asked, which hospital are you in? ill bring a fruit basket to see you. what flowers do you like? ill buy them according to your preferences. li xiwu was in a good mood. im afraid i wont be able to eat president qis fruit basket. ill be discharged today. qi jiangchi asked, are you sure? li xiwu said, im sure. all right. qi jiangchi sighed in his heart and reminded her to rest as much as possible before ending the happy call. li xiwu was still in a good mood after the call. she put the phone down and took a closer look at the hyacinth in front of her. it had been fiddled with more delicately than before. satisfied, she turned to look for her grandmother. when she turned around, she almost bumped into pei jingzhou. she looked up at him. fourth brother, when did you come back? pei jingzhou said, ive been back for a long time. you were on the phone and didnt hear me approaching. li xiwu realized that she had been chatting too happily with president qi just now. she had indeed not heard anything. pei jingzhou leaned forward slightly. i asked you, but you didnt say anything. when other men asked you, you said everything. li xiwu, my heart hurts. li xiwu bit her lip. im just afraid that youll blame yourself. pei jingzhou said, have you ever thought that ill find out sooner or later and blame myself? li xiwu fell silent and looked up at him obediently. pei jingzhou pursed his lips. you knew that ill fall for your tricks. li xiwus lips curled up very high as she replied, of course. pei jingzhou slowly lowered his head and said in a low and hoarse voice, im sorry. li xiwus curved lips slowly pressed down. just as pei jingzhou was about to say something, li xiwu raised her hand and gently tapped his lips with her fingertips. just like how you told me not to say thank you to you, can i also ask you not to apologize to me? pei jingzhou corrected her. this is different. li xiwu stood her ground. how is it different? you can ask that of me, but i cant ask this of you? pei jingzhou said, what a twisted logic. li xiwu retorted, what you said is the twisted logic. pei jingzhou naturally could not beat li xiwu in a debate. after winning the argument, li xiwu even specially said, everyone in this family has to listen to me. if you dont, ill go to court to sue you for hiding the fact that youre infertile before marriage. pei jingzhou: who cant have children? guan sulings voice suddenly sounded. she also walked over. li xiwu was shocked. looking at her grandmother walking over, she quickly explained, i was telling fourth brother not to be angry. do you really think grandma is old and my ears are useless? i clearly heard you say that you cant have children. who cant have children? as she spoke, guan suling looked at pei jingzhou. kid, youre the one who cant have children, right? pei jingzhous expression was subtle. it was rare for him to speak late. i li xiwu interrupted pei jingzhou. grandma, you didnt hear everything. i was discussing with fourth brother when it was suitable to have a child. now, im already at the most suitable age to have a child. in a few years, there might be a risk of being at an advanced age and wasting the best childbearing age. guan suling said, nonsense! li xiwu: guan suling walked up to li xiwu. youre only 25 years old. itll take at least ten years for an advanced mother to give birth. in the next seven or eight years, you can be yourself happily and enjoy life. at this point, guan suling smiled and said meaningfully, besides, feelings cant withstand the grinding of time the most. just because your relationship is good now doesnt mean that your relationship will be stable in the future. its not that grandma has to say these unpleasant words. grandma is just saying something more realistic. after the seven-year itch, and your relationship will still be like this, then it wont be too late to have a child.. Chapter 303 - Chapter 303: Sweet Love With More Sugar chapter 303: sweet love with more sugar translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations older people were more realistic. nowadays, many couples could not even withstand three years, let alone the seven-year itch. they would part ways without a word, and in the end, the child they had earlier on would suffer. guan suling looked at pei jingzhou, who was motionless. i advise you not to have any crooked thoughts. give my darling more freedom. pei jingzhou said, ill listen to grandma. guan suling was quite satisfied with pei jingzhous attitude. currently, li xiwus situation was not suitable for her to participate in the recording of the show. however, qi zishens attempted murder had just happened. if li xiwu did not appear on the last day of the recording, public opinion would most likely fall on her. she wasnt afraid of the entire internet finding out. she just didnt want this matter to be magnified. after all, public opinion was always negative. therefore, in the end, li xiwu decided to complete the recording of the last day of the last episode of mother-in-law joy. li xiwu thought that her decision would be objected to, but to her surprise, her grandmother did not object, nor did pei jingzhou. guan suling said, youre the same as ah zhu. youre very stubborn. no one can change what you really want to do. grandma cant tie you up and bring you back, right? grandma doesnt want to be estranged from you, but you have to promise me that you have to take care of your body. li xiwu agreed obediently. okay. guan suling added, but ill have to take you back there myself. as for the reason, li xiwu could guess that her grandmother probably wanted everyone to know about her relationship with the mo family. before she left, she received a call from han qianye. at this moment, pei jingzhou was tying her scarf. li xiwu raised her neck to make it easier for pei jingzhou to tie it for her as she replied to han qianye, im leaving immediately. i might not be able to make it in time for the live broadcast. however, i sent a message to director gao and told him that i would be late. han qianye missed li xiwu. in the two days she had been here, she had not been able to spend a night with li xiwu. last night, min hanrong specially came to show off the gift tao jing had prepared for her. there was no real gift for the time being. she would only see it nine months later. min hanrong was going to have a grandson! han qianye was extremely jealous. she asked li xiwu, did you drive here yourself? did jingzhou send you? li xiwu replied, yes, fourth brother is here too. han qianye reminded them, thats good. tell the chauffeur to drive slower on the way. theres no hurry. i heard that there was a car accident on the road in north water town yesterday. i dont know if its serious. anyway, drive slower. safety is the most important. li xiwu replied, yes, ill remember. han qianyes mood improved a lot. now, as long as she heard li xiwus voice, her mood would improve. after ending the call, pei jingzhou had also finished tying the scarf. li xiwu put the phone in her pocket and slowly tucked her chin into her scarf. she looked well and in good shape. she didnt look like someone who had just been in a car accident at all. of course, this couldnt be helped by her good mood. if it werent for the obvious gauze on her forehead, it wouldnt have been obvious. pei jingzhou asked her, isnt it too thick? he asked chen xin to prepare two scarves. this was the first one. the color was good, but it would be thicker. li xiwu said, its warmer if its thicker. pei jingzhou said, im afraid you think its too cumbersome. li xiwu shook her head. not at all, because this carries fourth brothers full love. pei jingzhou couldnt help but laugh at her. his self-reproach improved a little. after being injured once, your mouth has become sweet. li xiwu asked, wasnt it sweet in the past? that gaze seemed to say: do you dare to say its not sweet?! pei jingzhou said, its sweet. its so sweet that my teeth are rotting. li xiwus eyes curved into crescents. it doesnt seem good to have cavities. then ill restrain myself and put less sugar. pei jingzhou said, go ahead and put more. ill put my teeth on the line for you. guan suling, who was sitting in the car, couldnt stand it anymore. if i didnt know better, id think you two had just fallen in love. alright, thats enough. my teeth hurt. li xiwu smiled happily. grandma, ill put on a hat and come up immediately. guan suling nodded and reminded him, be careful not to press on the wound. li xiwu agreed. chen xin handed a ladys wide felt hat to pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou took it and put it on li xiwu. he moved carefully, afraid that he would press down on the wound on her forehead. li xiwu said, wait a minute. ill fix my bangs. pei jingzhou waited for her to settle her bangs before putting the hat on her head. her bangs covered the gauze on her forehead, and the brim of her hat could cover some of it. li xiwu looked at the phone screen. if only the gauze could turn black. pei jingzhou said, if the gauze is black you wont be able to see if the wound opens accidentally and bleeds. li xiwu said, fourth brother, youre being too serious. pei jingzhou held her lower back. get in. li xiwu nodded and turned to get into the car. this time, it was a commercial car arranged by pei jingzhou. the three of them could sit in the back. other than the commercial car, there were cars in front and behind. it was considered a protection. this lineup was a little exaggerated for li xiwu. but to guan suling and pei jingzhou, it was not an exaggeration at all. the car drove for an hour and a half before arriving at north water town. at that moment, the live-stream of the last episode of mother-in-law joy had already started. every group of guests was under the camera of their own group. at this moment, xue jinzhu was staying outside the hotel with gu lanshi. the two of them had the live-stream camera, so their interaction was really like that of a boyfriend and girlfriend. the netizens were happily chatting. especially when gu lanshi asked xue jinzhu to wait for him there. he went to the milk tea shop and bought two cups of coffee. [miss pig and mr. gu are so compatible. theyre too easy to deal with. they have to get married.] [at first, i wanted to say that mr. gu looked at miss pig with deep affection, but i realized that he looked at everything with deep affection. so its peach blossom eyes.] [miss pig doesnt look to be in a good mood. it must be because her sister li didnt come.] [just like xue jinzhu, i miss sister li again-] [wow, what a lineup. whose convoy is this?] [the car in the lead is two bentleys. in the middle is a high-end business car, and there are several luxury cars behind it. damn, its an eye-opener!] the live-stream became even livelier because not only were xue jinzhu and gu lanshi under the camera, but there was also a convoy slowly driving towards the hotel. this convoy happened to enter the live-stream of xue jinzhu and gu lanshi. when the car drove past, the window was down. li xiwu saw xue jinzhu standing beside gu lanshi with a cup of milk tea in her hand and a lifeless expression. when xue jinzhu saw her, her eyes widened. she immediately took away the milk tea and waved her hand. sister li! youre back! li xiwu smiled faintly at xue jinzhu and sensed another gaze. when her gaze landed on gu lanshi, she realized that he was looking at her.. Chapter 304 - Chapter 304: Love Me, Love My Dog chapter 304: love me, love my dog translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu could barely remember the last time she saw gu lanshi. was it at the li mansion? or was it when xue jinzhu said loudly that gu lanshi was a funny man? actually, it hadnt been long. it was in the last episode, but it felt like it had been a long time. li xiwu turned around and said, grandma, ill get out of the car here for a while. guan suling gestured. stop the car. the car slowed to a stop. before li xiwu could come down first, xue jinzhu ran over and pulled at the car window. sister li, i wanted to ask you to soak in the hot spring last night, but you werent around. in the end, i soaked in it alone. you dont know how boring it was. li xiwu pushed open the car door and got out. i was busy with work late yesterday and couldnt rush over. if youre not in a hurry to leave tonight, we can soak in the hot spring together. after li xiwu got out of the car, xue jinzhu immediately stuck to her like glue and held her arm. ill go wherever you go. im not in a hurry to leave. [i almost didnt recognize it was li xiwu. this hat and scarf, xue jinzhu has good eyesight.] [the hat and scarf are all here. it seems that sister li is afraid of the cold.] [miss pig, please calm down! your boyfriend is watching eagerly from behind!] [if xue jinzhu didnt have a boyfriend, i would suspect that she likes li xiwu!] [the couple is in chaos. someone! put the lid on the pot!] [i saw president pei!] [i was just shocked by who made such a big scene. so its li xiwus husband no, why is there an old lady? eh, the old lady seems to be guan suling?!] [im really curious about li xiwus relationship with old madam mo.] xue jinzhu reached out and gently touched the brim of li xiwus hat. this hat looks good. sister li, send me the link later. ill buy a similar hat. li xiwu remembered that pei jingzhou had given her the hat. she did not have a link, so she said, i might have to send it to you later. its fine, its fine. just remember to send it to me. the main thing is that this hat is too pretty. although i know i might not be able to handle it, i like this style so much. xue jinzhu usually wore a beret or a flat top hat, making her look like a little princess. she had never tried the style of the hat on li xiwus head. at this moment, gu lanshis gaze had been on li xiwu for a long time. until he seemed to sense something and looked away from li xiwu to the car behind her. that was pei jingzhous line of sight. gu lanshi raised his eyebrows frivolously. after looking at pei jingzhou for a moment, the corners of his lips curled up into a polite smile. pei jingzhous expression was cold, and an undercurrent spread between the two of them. guan suling had always been the most sensitive to such a magnetic field. sensing that pei jingzhous aura had changed, she turned around to see who could provoke pei jingzhous aura. when guan sulings gaze landed on gu lanshi, she chuckled and said to pei jingzhou, so youre love rivals. love rivals? pei jingzhou had never taken gu lanshi, his love rival, seriously. even when he lost to gu lanshi back then, it was because he had returned from country t and had yet to recover from his serious injuries. he had not seen gu lanshi since then until li xiwu became more and more exposed online. these people came one after another. guan suling looked at pei jingzhous disdainful expression. this kid surnamed gu, dont tell me he still wants to be fated with my darling? these words more or less sounded like she was watching a show. pei jingzhou said, hes not worthy. guan suling smiled meaningfully. i think hes pretty and dignified. hes quite good. pei jingzhou looked at guan suling. grandma. guan suling suddenly fell silent. what is love me, love my dog? this was it. she did not have much of a reaction when the group of grandchildren at home called her grandma. only she was happy to hear her darling call her grandma. now that she heard pei jingzhou call her grandma, she did not feel disgusted. instead, she felt quite comfortable. guan suling coughed and cleared her throat. youre talented and handsome. youre better than him. pei jingzhou was surprised to hear such praise. guan suling asked, are you feeling good? pei jingzhou smiled. thank you for your approval, grandma. hmph! guan suling snorted. its just a case of love my, love my dog. your weight in my heart depends on your weight in my darlings heart. at this point, guan suling gave pei jingzhou a warning. if you dare to make her angry, you wont be able to see her for ten days to half a month. no, dont even think about seeing her for three to five months. ive just found my darling. i cant wait for her to be by my side every day. pei jingzhou smiled. then if im chased out of the house by her, can i stay at grandmas house for a while? guan suling said, its not impossible. pei jingzhou said, thank you, grandma. guan suling beamed with joy and immediately restrained her smile. as she thought about it, she almost had no principles. gu lanshi did not know what the two of them were talking about in the car. it was obvious that old madam mo had no objections to pei jingzhou. gu lanshi pursed his lips and walked forward to call li xiwu miss li. li xiwu looked up at gu lanshi. gu lanshi greeted politely, im glad to see you again. before li xiwu could say anything, xue jinzhu interrupted and asked gu lanshi, how happy are you? gu lanshi smiled. im happy from the bottom of my heart. xue jinzhu snorted. youre not even this happy to see me. gu lanshi glanced sideways at xue jinzhu. there was a warning in his eyes. xue jinzhu was not afraid at all. after all, if she was afraid, she would not be xue jinzhu! xue jinzhu deliberately said, you have to say something i like to hear. otherwise, ill be angry. under the live-stream camera, his every move was watched by the audience. gu lanshi followed xue jinzhus words. im even happier to see you. only then did xue jinzhu pretend to be satisfied and snort. thats more like it. [miss zhuzhu, dont lose your good impression. your boyfriend is just greeting sister li!] [although mr. gu is very handsome, with a beauty like president pei, sister li wont fall for anyone else easily!] [xue jinzhu should be a very insecure girl.] [some girls are like that. as long as a woman comes into contact with her boyfriend, she feels that her boyfriend will be taken away!] xue jinzhu was not familiar with the internet and did not know that her intention to interrupt gu lanshi and talk to sister li would cause netizens to make malicious guesses. although others did not know xue jinzhus intentions, li xiwu knew. she naturally would not let xue jinzhu direct and act alone. you two seem to be very close. im quite curious. how did you meet? seeing that sister li understood her thoughts, xue jinzhu was overjoyed. her hand that was holding gu lanshis arm swayed. miss li is curious about how we met and how we got together. mr. gu, quickly tell me. its time to test your memory. i remember it clearly. li xiwu looked at gu lanshi expectantly. she was certain that gu lanshi would not be perfunctory. otherwise, he would not have gone through so much trouble to persuade tang xian to participate in mother-in-law joys variety show.. Chapter 305 - Chapter 305: She’s Not a Sparrow, She’s a Phoenix chapter 305: shes not a sparrow, shes a phoenix translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations xue jinzhus face was also filled with anticipation. the expression seemed to say silently: make it up! make it up! lets see what kind of tricks you can come up with! gu lanshi did not look at xue jinzhu. instead, he looked at li xiwu and her bangs under the brim of her hat. li xiwu seemed to sense it. she lowered her head slightly and covered half her face with the brim of her hat. gu lanshi asked, miss li, do you really want to know? li xiwu smiled. if mr. gu doesnt mind telling me, id like to hear it. i dont mind, gu lanshi said. xue jinzhu took a big sip of the milk tea in her hand and urged him in an unclear voice, then hurry up and say it. dont say anything wrong. otherwise, it proves that you dont love me that much. gu lanshi smiled silently. generally speaking, when two people met and fell in love, there would be no end to it. however, it was fine to pick the important parts. however, gu lanshi and xue jinzhus relationship was fake. all the stories had to be fabricated. now, they were about to fabricate a summary. this was quite a challenge for gu lanshi. but no one knew what he thought of. [im looking forward to it!! the past of two people knowing and falling in love is very good when it comes from a boy!] [i always think miss piggy is pretentious, but occasionally i think shes naive and unrestrained.] [needless to say, xue jinzhus personality must have been pampered by her native family.] [sister li immediately turned into a bystander.] gu lanshi looked at li xiwu and said softly, im her fathers student. xue jinzhu was stunned. her coal boss father had students? however, she quickly realized that gu lanshi had made this up, but it was quite convincing. li xiwu still had that expectant expression as she waited for gu lan to continue. is that so? yes. gu lanshi said, in the few years i was by the teachers side, other than improving my studies, i also met her. when gu lanshi said these short words, it seemed to have become a very long sentence. xue jinzhu chased after him like a melon. then? then? [i feel that mr. gu cant remember.] [miss pig, hurry up and be more dignified!!] [isnt xue jinzhus father a nouveau riche? how can gu lanshi be her fathers student?] [if xue jinzhus father is a university professor or a teacher, wouldnt he be a nouveau riche if he bought a lottery ticket?] [i look forward to it. please continue, mr. gu.] seeing that gu lanshi stopped talking, xue jinzhu took a big sip of milk tea and asked, is there no then? cant you remember? gu lanshi glanced sideways at xue jinzhu. her cheeks were bulging as she chewed the pulp in the milk tea. gu lanshi smiled faintly and said, we got along day and night, so we got together. xue jinzhus face fell. youre being too perfunctory. gu lanshi said, why dont you supplement it? xue jinzhu: forget it. dont screw around and then screw yourself over. she took his arm and swayed it as she had just done. i know youre actually embarrassed to say this, she said sweetly. actually, im a little embarrassed too. then i wont say anything. gu lanshi said gently, okay. li xiwu looked at xue jinzhu, who had almost fallen into the pit, and smiled silently. have fun. ill go over first. han qianye was still waiting for her. it had been about ten minutes since she got out of the car. she had to return to their groups live-stream. gu lanshi probably wanted to say something. xue jinzhu waved her hand first. see you later, sister li li xiwu replied, okay. then, she got into the car and it drove slowly forward. [transfer to the live-stream! transfer to the live-stream! i want to see sister lis interaction with her husband!] [there was no notice that all the husbands would appear on the last day. now, tao jings husband is here in a hurry. xue jinzhus boyfriend is here, and sister lis husband is also here. im looking forward to it.] [im so anxious. please verify li xiwus relationship with old madam mo!!!] [miss pig, with your gossipy mouth, why didnt you ask li xiwu if she knew about ji weilings situation? im quite worried. ji weiling hasnt posted on weibo to say that shes safe!] [i hope ji weiling is fine. hurry up and ask li xiwu!] many netizens were quite concerned about ji weilings current situation. qi zishen had been arrested for attempted murder, which was very likely the victim, ji weiling. there had been no response so far. netizens were really worried that ji weiling had been killed by qi zishen. it would be good if ji weiling could say that shes fine. xue jinzhu watched as the cars drove towards the hotel. she retracted her gaze and saw gu lanshi staring at her. his gaze was terrifying! under his gaze, xue jinzhu cupped her face in the shape of a sunflower and tried her best to act. is it because im especially beautiful today that youre looking at me so intently? after saying this, she disgusted herself. the smile on gu lanshis lips looked a little doting. yes, beautiful. xue jinzhu pushed him and looked very embarrassed. dont praise me so bluntly. im shy. just remember to care about me. gu lanshi was very calm. ive been too busy with work recently and dont have much time. i happened to be free today. i thought that you were recording your last day, so i came to see you. xue jinzhu rolled her eyes in her heart. damn it, he really knew how to act. he could catch anything she threw. meanwhile, the commercial car had pulled up outside the hotel. after li xiwu got out of the car, guan suling also got out. right on the heels, pei jingzhou came out, the three of them entered the hotel. han qianye bought a calligraphy set and wrote it in her room. anyway, she would treat it as killing time. perhaps the netizens would like to read it because her calligraphy was very good. as she wrote, she calmed down. when there was a knock on the door, han qianye quickly put down her pen. coming, coming. [im dying of laughter. one second, han qianye was a goddess, and the next, she became brainless.] [you dont say, brainless calligraphy is really good. as expected of someone from a scholarly family.] [shes been waiting for her daughter-in-law to come back. finally, sister li is back.] han qianye opened the door happily, but she did not see li xiwu. she saw guan suling. the joyous smile on han qianyes face faded visibly. why are you here? guan suling held an elegant posture. im sending my darling over. han qianye was stunned. your darling? guan suling said, my granddaughter! [granddaughter?] [isnt li xiwu the one guan suling sent back? why did she become her granddaughter?] [f*ck, dont tell me that li xiwu is old madam mos granddaughter!] [dont tell me shes the god granddaughter she just acknowledged? if shes her biological granddaughter, how embarrassing would those people who slandered li xiwu becoming a phoenix? li xiwu is a phoenix herself!] Chapter 306 - Chapter 306: Background Controversy chapter 306: background controversy translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations in mother-in-law joys weibo hyperbole, there was already an intense discussion about li xiwus true background. at first, many people said that li xiwu was a sparrow that flew to the top. many people followed suit. after all, the more popular a person was, the more controversial they would be. if they were not popular enough, who would discuss it? now, because of guan sulings appearance and the fact that li xiwu was her granddaughter, the topic has changed again! [i think no matter what li xiwus true background is, i like her because i always like her.] [it would be even better if sister li was really matriarch mos granddaughter. it would be a slap to those peoples faces.] [its not a program effect, is it?] [let me straighten it out. if li xiwu is matriarch mos biological granddaughter, do you know what it means? everyone knows that matriarch mos eldest daughter is called mo zhu. that i s the only female mayor in shen city in decades!] [by the way, let me mention ms. mo zhus husband. her husband is our countrys outstanding chief diplomat, li huaisheng, uncle li!] [there are no ordinary people in the mo family. even their son-in-law is so outstanding and has such a strong family background. i feel that it has nothing to do with li xiwu.] [its just a surname. could it be that li xiwus surname is also li and matriarch mo feels close to her?] [where are mother dragons fans? come and tear apart those haters!] mother dragons fans had already gone into battle and protected li xiwu unconditionally. those haters were quickly surrounded. now, there were all kinds of speculations on the internet about li xiwus background. some netizens searched for li huaishengs photo and compared it to li xiwus photo. in the end, they realized that there were 50 to 60 percent similarities. especially her eyebrows. this time, the topic rose almost explosively and was pushed to the trending list. at the door of the room. han qianye craned her neck to look behind guan suling. she looked around but did not see li xiwu. she only saw a follower standing behind guan suling. han qianye asked, wheres xixi? guan suling stood in a dignified manner, exuding a graceful and noble aura. we came up together and met another group of guests at the elevator. the other party had just gotten pregnant and pulled my darling to share it happily. i saw that they couldnt finish talking for a while, so i came up to tell you personally. when han qianye heard about the pregnancy, she knew that she was min hanrongs daughter-in-law, tao jing. it was quite unexpected. she heard that she was four weeks pregnant. that meant that she had been pregnant during the recording, but tao jing did not know. thinking about the time in mount liang, it was quite dangerous, especially when tao jing had a slight concussion from the fall. at that time, she only had a brain examination. coupled with the fact that she did not need to take medicine for a slight concussion, the little guy stayed very stable in her stomach. it was obvious that he would be lucky in the future. han qianye invited guan suling in to sit, so guan suling naturally did not stand on ceremony. she followed her in and noticed the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table. what are you writing? han qianye said) its nonsense. theres no real emotion. its all based on scribbles. guan suling teased, i couldnt tell. youre usually not smart, and your limbs are quite developed. han qianye looked speechless. dont praise others if you dont know how. guan suling was puzzled. did i praise you? han qianye: guan suling moved closer to han qianye. i plan to bring my darling back to the mo residence to stay for a month or two tonight. han qianyes hand, which was about to write, paused. she looked up at guan suling. a month or two? guan suling was very calm. yes. of course, han qianye did not agree. no, a month or two is too long. guan suling said, you can come to the mo residence to see her. han qianye insisted, that wont do either. guan suling took a step back. maybe a month. han qianye asked, we usually live separately from xixi. she lives in lake lu with jingzhou. if you bring xixi back to the mo residence to stay for a month, will xixi agree? definitely not! guan suling said faintly, she will! han qianye added, then jingzhou wont agree either. guan suling glanced at han qianye. that kid didnt say that he didnt agree. hes wherever my darling is. han qianye: for a moment, she was speechless. meanwhile, downstairs. tao jing was chatting with li xiwu. wu jiacheng exchanged pleasantries with pei jingzhou. as they chatted, they talked about the recent decline in stocks and bonds, especially the ups and downs of american stocks. everything pei jingzhou said on this topic was very enlightening to wu jiacheng. at the same age, wu jiacheng had thought that he was superior when he did not know pei jingzhous identity. unexpectedly, pei jingzhou was the one who hid his strength. after discussing the financial situation, wu jiacheng quickly couldnt pick up. pei jingzhou stopped and walked to li xiwus side. honey, we should go up. li xiwu agreed. tao jing said in embarrassment, i unknowingly chatted with you for so long, but im really happy to share it with you. im just quite worried about the pregnancy reaction next. the doctor said that there will be pregnancy reactions in eight or nine weeks. li xiwu smiled faintly. its a little hard during pregnancy. every mother is very noble. when tao jing heard this, her face was filled with a happy smile. its all worth it. li xiwu hesitated for a few seconds before answering. yes. she hesitated because she was about to say: if you think its worth it, its worth it. thinking that it wasnt appropriate to say this, she changed it to a yes. after that, tao jing held wu jiachengs arm and went out. pei jingzhou held li xiwus hand. lets go. the two of them did not have any live-stream cameras along the way, so there was no need to avoid anything. after entering the elevator, there were only the two of them. li xiwu said, after interacting with wu jiacheng just now, what do you think of him? pei jingzhou said, theres too many empty words. li xiwu said, when i first met wu jiacheng, i felt that he was quite steady. pei jingzhou said, you cant judge a person from the first look. li xiwu said, then should i take a few more glances? pei jingzhou pulled her over. just look at me. li xiwu chuckled. she thought that pei jingzhou was quite childish sometimes. however, she only thought so in her heart and did not say it out loud. otherwise, someone would not be convinced. she thought of her conversation with tao jingo although tao jing kept smiling and her face was filled with happiness, she felt that tao jing was not very happy. at first, li xiwu guessed that it was probably because she was a new mother and was a little at a loss, so her true feelings were a little complicated. but after the conversation ended, she gradually realized that tao jings unhappiness was not because she was at a loss as a new mother. it was that family, right? it was still quite difficult for her. at this moment, tao jing was holding wu jiachengs hand and leaving the hotel with him. wu jiacheng said casually, you seem to like that miss li quite a lot. you get along well with her.. Chapter 307 - Chapter 307: To Antarctica chapter 307: to antarctica translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations tao jing pursed her lips. xiwu makes me feel very close. wu jiacheng added, you can contact each other more in the future. tao jing replied, mhm. wu jiacheng asked again, did the doctor say what to pay attention to in the next three months? the first three months of pregnancy were not very stable, but tao jings physical condition was good. this problem was very small, but she remembered what the doctor had instructed her. but when wu jiacheng asked, she only said, the doctor said to maintain a good mood. wu jiacheng smiled. are you usually unhappy? tao jing said, usually wu jiacheng said, you were happy for more than ten days for the bouquet of 999 roses i ordered for you last time. by the way, you were also happy for a long time for the set of jewelry i bought for you last time. also, the last time you went to universal studios tao jing lowered her voice and interrupted, jiacheng, im not feeling well. wu jiachengs expression changed. is it your stomach? lets go to the hospital quickly. tao jing said, its not my stomach. wu jiacheng immediately heaved a sigh of relief. thats good. tao jing looked at wu jiachengs relieved expression and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. in short, it was indescribable. she took a deep breath and said softly, my stomach isnt feeling well. the doctor said that this situation during pregnancy is normal. i want to go back and lie down to rest. wu jiacheng held tao jings hand and returned to the hotel. i told you when we went out that you have to be careful about everything now that youre pregnant. you should rest more. tao jing obediently replied, mhm. every word sounded like concern, but every word of concern had nothing to do with her. was she too dissatisfied? she needed more care from her husband than materiality. yesterdays mission was to prepare a small gift for each other. everyone completed the mission perfectly. min hanrong thought of a way to prepare a gift for tao jing, but tao jing did not give her any gifts and only handed her a piece of paper. at that time, min hanrong did not pull a long face. but she could tell that she was a little unhappy. in particular, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the other groups had prepared gifts. she had also prepared small gifts for tao jing and had prepared them with all her heart. although she was depressed, min hanrong had to give her daughter-in-law face. after all, the show was about to end. she unfolded the paper. after seeing the contents of the paper, min hanrongs eyebrows twitched. as if she couldnt believe what she was seeing, she quickly raised the piece of paper higher and looked carefully again in the clearer direction of the light. the uterus is enlarged. there is a fetal echo in the uterus as she read, min hanrong suddenly fell silent. she suddenly realized that this was a pregnancy ultrasound impact report! is she pregnant? min hanrong looked at tao jing in surprise and said excitedly, jingjing, youre pregnant? tao jing nodded shyly. yes. min hanrong was overjoyed. oh my god, this is really the best gift. at this moment, min hanrongs joy came from the bottom of her heart. although she said that she would let tao jing play for a few more years, her stomach had not moved at all. she was also anxious, afraid that the wu family would marry a daughter-in-law who could not give birth. she was finally pregnant. she carefully read the pregnancy report again and saw the words intrauterine pregnancy at the bottom. the more she read, the happier she became. the netizens also sent their blessings in the comments. in the end, min hanrong carefully folded the pregnancy test report and put it away. she turned around and quickly helped tao jing sit down. its the last episode. i didnt expect you to give me such a big surprise. i like this gift very much. min hanrong smiled so widely that her teeth were visible. by the way, when did you go for the checkup? does jiacheng know? at the mention of checkup, the smile on tao jings face dimmed. after recording the fourth episode, she followed min hanrong back to hong kong that night. because she had not had much of an appetite for dinner in the past few days, she thought that there was something wrong with her stomach. when she returned to the wu residence, she did not eat much that night, but no one came to ask her. while sleeping, she discussed with wu jiacheng that he would accompany her to the hospital for a stomach checkup the next day. however, wu jiacheng said, ive set up a meeting with my friend during the day. i cant go. lets talk about it later. if the situation isnt serious, why dont you come with me to my friends place? tao jing felt quite uncomfortable, but she still agreed. okay. she thought that wu jiac.heng would accompany her to the hospital later when she went out to play with him during the day. in the end, wu jiacheng was drunk and could not accompany her to the hospital, so min hanrong urged her to return to the capital. she called min hanrong back and said that her stomach was uncomfortable and she wanted to prescribe some medicine. min hanrong did not say that she was dilly-dallying and only asked her to settle it quickly so that she could leave. the plane tickets had already been booked. then she drove the drunk wu jiacheng to the hospital. with the identity of the wu familys daughter-in-law, there were naturally many backdoors. after the doctor finished chatting about stomach problems and asked tao jing about her period, he personally brought tao jing to the gynecology department. tao jing left her phone number and learned the results the next morning. then, she asked the doctor to send the pregnancy test report over. it had just arrived at night and she was prepared to tell min hanrong the next day. unexpectedly, the production team happened to arrange this segment, so she told min hanrong this news as a gift. tao jing was looking forward to getting pregnant when they were newlyweds. but now, she felt that being pregnant was quite a burden. but she had no choice. since she had one, she naturally couldnt bear to abort it. no matter what the future held, at least the child was innocent. when li xiwu returned to her room, she was still wearing her hat and scarf. when han qianye saw that li xiwu was back, she put down her pen and immediately focused on her. i couldnt sleep without you last night. li xiwu smiled faintly. there was a lot of work yesterday. i couldnt finish it all. got it. work is more important. han qianye held li xiwus hand eagerly. at this moment, han qianye noticed that li xiwu had been wearing a hat and asked, xixi, should we take off the hat and scarf? because the hotel rooms were air-conditioned. han qianye was worried that li xiwu would feel hot wrapped up like this. li xiwu shook her head and said, im not hot. han qianye said, alright then, but you look beautiful in a hat. li xiwu smiled faintly. at the side, guan suling picked up han qianyes pen and began to write. she did not disturb the two of them from recording the show. pei jingzhou stood at the side and admired it. guan sulings handwriting was very strong. with the penmanship of a calligrapher, it was comparable to han qianyes foundation. han qianye took advantage of the fact that no one was disturbing her and pulled li xiwu to chat. as they chatted, they talked about going to antarctica to see penguins on the first day of the first episode. han qianye immediately said, xixi, lets go to antarctica to see penguins the day after tomorrow, okay? li xiwu asked, the day after tomorrow? han qianye said, it doesnt have to be the day after tomorrow. ill arrange it when youre free. ill go to the south pole and go to country t on the way. do you want to come with me? han qianye thought that she would just do the paternity test in country t! Chapter 308 - Chapter 308: Sister Li and Fourth Brother Are So Sweet chapter 308: sister li and fourth brother are so sweet translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations at twelve noon, the official weibo account of mother-in-law joy posted the closing topic. at the same time, the most popular mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ballot was launched. half an hour after it was released, more than 600,000 netizens had participated in the vote. li xiwu and han qianyes group were currently far ahead in terms of popularity. min hanrong and tao jings group was second, xiang lan and xu muzhens group was third, and tang xian and xue jinzhus group was fourth. third place had the tendency to surpass second place. everyone quite liked xiang lan and xu muzhen. after recording five episodes, xiang lan and xuemu town had always gotten along very harmoniously. true ordinary guests did not have the exaggerated spending of wealthy families, nor did they have the suffocating mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship like xie wen and zheng yuehua. xiang lan and xu muzhen gave off the feeling that time was peaceful and not old. this was the relationship that many young girls yearned for. voting participation was increasing. the topic also continued to rise. as it was the last day, the various sponsors increased their sponsorship, and advertisements could be seen everywhere under the camera. probably knowing that the audiences tolerance on the last day was high, coupled with the fact that the organizers had given too much, the director cut to the advertisements from time to time. li xiwu had already promised han qianye that she would go to the south pole after recording the show. however, she had yet to determine the exact time. she had a feeling that there were still many things she had to do. first, it was work. second, it was everything about the li family. she wanted to go to the li mansion again and then go to country t to see madam di xin. she even suspected that the existence of yaoyao had something to do with her. she also wanted to return to the mo family these were all on her mind. every time she had something on her mind, pei jingzhou would always sense it immediately. when han qianye and guan suling were discussing calligraphy, pei jingzhou would quietly pull her out. li xiwu asked, where to? pei jingzhou said, shopping. li xiwu was stunned. shopping? pei jingzhou asked her, you dont want to go? of course, it was not that li xiwu did not want to go. she was just surprised that pei jingzhou was willing to go shopping during the recording of the show. how boring would that be? she said, i know a snack street. jinzhu told me. shes already scouted it. its busiest at night. i wonder how it is during the day. xue jinzhu went there last night. it was crowded and lively. the entire snack street was filled with people. pei jingzhou asked, did she tell you when she came just now? li xiwu nodded. why dont we go shopping over there? pei jingzhou was worried that she would be disturbed by her worries, so he ignored the fact that she would quickly adjust her emotions. he said, if you want to go, then lets go there. the snack street was some distance from the hotel. li xiwu asked pei jingzhous opinion, do you want to walk there? pei jingzhou said, anything. li xiwu raised her chin. pei jingzhou asked, hmm? li xiwu pushed his arm. the gps. i only heard jinzhu say that place. ive never been there either. i cant find the way. pei jingzhou smiled and took out his phone. he opened the map software that was not often used. it was precisely because it was not often used that various requests popped up when he opened the map software. after agreeing to them one by one, the map software could be used normally. pei tingzhon asked her. whats the name of the place? li xiwu thought for a few seconds. i heard from jinzhu that it seems to be the street behind maple street. ive forgotten the exact name. jinzhu said that we can find it if we walk towards maple street. at that time, xue jinzhu had mentioned the snack street. last night, li xiwu did not return. she went to the snack street behind maple street and went to the hot spring. li xiwu didnt care at the time. she regretted it a little now. she should have asked more. pei jingzhou had already found the location of maple street on the map software its about 1.1 kilometers away from us. its a little far. li xiwu held pei jingzhous hand. im completely fine walking. what about you, fourth brother? pei jingzhou thought of something and nudged his cheek with the tip of his tongue well drive there first. well walk when we reach maple street. li xiwu insisted. why dont we walk there? its not very far. pei jingzhou took his hand out and tidied her scarf. his gaze landed on her forehead, which was covered by her bangs. im afraid youll be tired. li xiwu understood what pei jingzhou meant with just a look. he cared about her because she was injured. although it was not her legs that were injured, the doctor had said that it was best to rest as much as possible. she lifted her hand and held pei jingzhous hand that was adjusting her scarf. okay, lets drive there. seeing that she understood his worry, pei jingzhou smiled and called her, honey. li xiwu had just retracted her gaze when she looked up at him again. yeah? pei jingzhou pulled her closer to him and lowered his head, wanting to kiss her cheek. the moment pei jingzhou approached, li xiwus eyes widened and she moved back. pei jingzhou did not kiss her. you dont want me to kiss you? li xiwu nudged him gently. pei jingzhou pulled her back domineeringly and gently. he placed his arm across her lower back. i havent kissed you all day today. mom and grandma arent around now. give me a kiss. li xiwus face heated up. she gritted her teeth and called his name. pei, jing, zhou! pei jingzhou responded with an mhm as he leaned closer and stole a kiss as if no one was around. li xiwu reminded him angrily, fourth brother, camera. pei jingzhou raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at the camera. li xiwu snorted with laughter and took his hand. lets go, lets go. pei jingzhou, who had shamelessly asked for a kiss just now, was too different from his usual cold appearance. millions of netizens watching online exclaimed that it was not satisfying. [is this something i can watch for free without spending money?! ill become a member and do it again. its best if it lasts for ten minutes. i like french better!!] [sister li and fourth brother are so sweet~] [were closing after today. i cant bear to.] [im like a dog passing by on the road who was kicked for no reason.] [sister li is really super happy, okay? fourth brothers heart is really filled with her.] in the end, pei jingzhou drove li xiwu to maple street. they had arrived in north water town too late to make it in time for the late-october red leaves season on maple street. the buildings were covered in dark red withered vines. the maple leaves had not fallen off, but they were not as stunning as the late-october red leaves season vision. after getting out of the car, li xiwu began to take photos with her cell phone. pei jingzhou parked the car and came over. how far are we from our destination? li xiwu asked as she took photos, arent you leading the way? pei jingzhou did not say anything and watched her take photos silently. li xiwu had learned her photography skills from yuanyuan, but yuanyuan was better at taking photos. after all, she was a celebrity assistant. li xiwu had learned a little and realized that her photos of sceneries were much more beautiful than portraits.. Chapter 309 - Chapter 309: My Wife Is Beautiful chapter 309: my wife is beautiful translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations she did not hear pei jingzhous voice and turned to look at him. fourth brother, have you put in the destination? pei jingzhou nodded and looked at the cell phone in her hand. li xiwu was stunned for a moment before realizing that her phone was in her bag. she was using pei jingzhous phone to take photos. she smiled guiltily and exited the photo app. she opened the map app and looked at the distance of the snack street. theres still more than 200 meters. pei jingzhou asked, shall we go over later, or now? li xiwu said, later. then, she looked into the distance at the maple tree. fourth brother, help me take a photo as a memento. it represents my trip here. taking photos was a technical job. coincidentally, pei jingzhou did not have such a technical skill. he hesitated, then said truthfully, im not very good at taking pictures. li xiwu said, a man cant say that he cant. pei jingzhou gritted his teeth. youre hearing things. im saying that the background here isnt very good. li xiwu suppressed the smile on her lips. how could that be? i think its quite good. are you taking photos? pei jingzhou gritted his teeth. yes. [hahahaha, im going crazy laughing.] [so fourth brother is also a man who wants to be strong in his life!] [admirable! li xiwu is too good at controlling her man! sisters, learn!] [she has looks, talent, money, and a husband who is devoted to her. i dont even dare to dream like this.] there were only li xiwu and pei jingzhou on camera. the popularity of the live-stream was still high. especially the daily atmosphere between the two of them. everyone really liked to watch. after all, in the beginning, pei jingzhous image in everyones eyes was very cold. now, putting aside those filters of his identity and background, he was a man who loved and doted on his wife in life. li xiwu had already walked to the maple tree. the red leaves had not completely withered. when she looked up, brownish-red filled her eyes. li xiwu was wearing a wide hat and a black coat. the thick scarf around her neck covered almost half of her face. she was just standing there as a scenery and was especially eye-catching. while li xiwu was looking for a location under the maple tree, pei jingzhou opened the baidu search engine and typed: how to take a photo of my wife? he clicked on the search and a bunch of answers popped up. [1: ten ways to teach you to take super good photos of your wife!] [2: eight techniques for taking photos of your wife!] [3: how to take photos of your wife with the phone without being beaten?] after counting carefully, it was dazzling. pei jingzhou could only open one and take a closer look. li xiwu had already found the best spot under the maple tree. after standing up, she looked at pei jingzhou. im done. take the photo. pei jingzhou replied calmly, mhm. he did not know how effective it would be if he used it now, but pei jingzhou had always been calm. he turned on the camera and faced li xiwu in the distance. he began to take photos of li xiwu calmly. li xiwu was not good at taking photos. like most people, she would only pose a v. then, she would stand upright and not make any movements. and todays maple atmosphere happened to not require any gestures. just by standing there, she was a scenery that could not be ignored. any shots that the cameramen and staff took were ridiculously beautiful. [amazing! li xiwu just standing there gives off a proper atmosphere!] [i love this scene. i took a screenshot!] [i hope the officials can release this set of pictures in the end. i want to use it as wallpaper.] [i want to see sister li and fourth brother take a photo in the same frame. the atmosphere will probably be maxed out!] [l i ve reserved li xiwu i s face. ill use it in my next life.] she did not relax when taking the photo, and her posture was a little stiff. li xiwu stood for a long time and was a little tired. seeing that pei jingzhou was still filming, she raised her voice and asked, fourth brother, are you done? took down his cell phone. done. li xiwu walked over. she took the cell phone from pei jingzhou and opened the photo album. originally, the speed of each photo was very slow. as she swiped, the speed became faster and faster, and her frown deepened. pei jingzhous eyebrows twitched, and he knew that something was wrong. as expected, li xiwu did not have the patience to continue looking at the photos. she raised her head and glared at pei jingzhou. you took about 80 photos in a short period of time. pei jingzhou thought, there are so many? however, it was true that he had been pressing the shutter, so he did not remember how many times. li xiwu pointed at the first photo on the screen. am i that short? pei jingzhou looked at the screen. the cell phone is raised a little higher. sorry. this was not a matter of raising the cell phone high or low! ivs your technical problem! fine! it is difficult to blame him. li xiwu pointed at her face in the photo. then whats wrong with my face? why does it look so strange? her eyes were either closed or open. occasionally, her expression was blurry. there were so many snapshots. there didnt seem to be many that were good-looking. pei jingzhou replied calmly, because your camera cant bear your beauty either. my wife is the most beautiful. li xiwu: the dissatisfied words were suddenly stuck in her throat. she couldnt say them. she took a deep breath, her expression subtle. sweet mouth. pei jingzhou saw the change in her expression. im not talking nonsense. its the truth. my wife is as beautiful as a fairy. li xiwu bit her lip, her expression becoming even more subtle. women were immune to praise from others, but they were not immune to praise from their husbands or boyfriends. li xiwu could not avoid it. especially when pei jingzhou said, my wife is as beautiful as a fairy and my wife is the most beautiful. li xiwu almost lost herself in these praises. suddenly awake, li xiwus expression changed from subtle to complicated. pei jingzhou, you didnt talk like this in the past. pei jingzhou said, what? the fairy is hungry? then lets go buy something to eat. li xiwu: [hahahahahahaha] [f*ck! this is the first time i feel that fourth brother is so good!] [as expected, no matter how outstanding a woman is, she will be obsessed with the words beautiful and little fairy from her husband.] [if my husband praised me like that, i wouldnt have any objections if he filmed me like a bear.] li xiwu only felt angry and amused. seeing that pei jingzhou was also smiling, she stopped him and reached out to twist his arm. although the coat was not especially thick, pinching it through the coat was like scratching an itch. unexpectedly, the next second, pei jingzhou raised his hand and revealed the back of his hand in front of her. pinch here. he clearly wasnt smiling, but to li xiwu, she felt mocked again. she didnt hesitate. she pinched the back of his hand. not only did pei jingzhou not frown, but he also smiled obsequiously. the fairy is indeed hungry. you dont have much strength. li xiwu let go. if you continue, ill bite you. pei jingzhou glanced at the back of his hand and suddenly remembered the bite force when li xiwu bit his shoulder. it hurt quite a bit, so he pointed at his shoulder. the bite marks are still there. li xiwu quickly covered pei jingzhous mouth. you pei jingzhous eyes lit up. am i not allowed to say it? li xiwu was embarrassed and anxious. she conveyed with her eyes: camera, theres a camera.. its live-streaming!! Chapter 310 - Chapter 310: He Still Has Aces chapter 310: he still has aces translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations smiled dotingly and removed her hand. he tapped her forehead with his fingertip and said in a low voice, got it. li xiwu said, dont say it. pei jingzhou said, okay, i wont say it. at this moment, the audience was most excited [ahhh, my mother told me to get out and scream!] [is this really a married couple who have been married for three years? did the production team lie? are they really not a couple who just fell in love?] [sister li is so fierce. hahahahaha, she left a bite mark until now.] [how? why? what was the scene when she bit? (shy. jpg)] [im so shy. is that something you can say?] li xiwu still cared about her dignity. hence, she quickly stopped pei jingzhou from saying those words. actually, there were still two or three photos to choose from, but they were too difficult to choose from. li xiwu decided to choose slowly at night. pei jingzhou said as she exited the photo album, lets take a photo. li xiwu took it as taking a photo of him. then do you like to take photos of your entire body or half of your body? the position i was standing in just now feels quite good. why dont you stand there? although im not good at taking photos of people, its definitely better than yours. she sounded very sure when she said the second half of the sentence. pei jingzhou said, lets take a photo together. li xiwu looked up at pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou said, speaking of which, we dont have many photos together. li xiwu smiled brightly. thats because the photos are in my phone. pei jingzhou raised his eyebrows. huh? li xiwu would not tell him that she had actually taken many photos with pei jingzhou in the past three years. although they were not pasted together for selfies, she and pei jingzhou were in every photo she secretly took. it was just that pei jingzhou did not know most of the time. moreover, pei jingzhou would not look through her phone without permission, so he did not know that there were many photos of the two of them in the photo album. those photos were taken half a year after they got married. she admired pei jingzhou and thought that she could keep them as memories when they separated in the future. when she realized what she had to do later, she planned to erase everything related to pei jingzhou after she got the money and left him, including the photos that pei jingzhou did not know about. now she wouldnt erase it. shed keep it safe. pei jingzhou asked her, can i look at it? li xiwu shook her head. no, there are ugly photos of you. pei jingzhou laughed. how ugly can it be? li xiwu thought about it seriously for a few seconds before replying, its still quite ugly. the kind i cant bear to look at. pei jingzhou: this time, li xiwu took the initiative to mention, its rare for me to come here. why dont we take a few photos together? okay. pei jingzhou handed the phone to the staff. thank you. the staff quickly said, no trouble, no trouble. then, he took out his professional level to take photos of the two of them. pei jingzhou held li xiwus hand and went to the position she had just stood at. because li xiwu had said that this position was very good, the effect would definitely be very good. actually, he felt the same. it was just that he was not good at filming and did not capture the beauty. li xiwu reminded pei jingzhou, relax. well just hold hands and look at the camera. pei jingzhou held li xiwus hand and slowly tightened his grip. while the staff was filming, li xiwu looked at the camera, but pei jingzhou looked sideways at her. she could sense his gaze, so after looking at the camera, she turned to look at him. his gaze went down slightly. her gaze went up slightly. their eyes met. the winter wind blew and dropped patches of maple leaves. the scenery was beautiful. li xiwus lips curved as she reminded him softly, fourth brother, you have to look at the camera. pei jingzhou said, youre in charge of looking at the camera. ill be in charge of looking at you. the scene was captured by the staff again. there was a brief pause under the maple tree. every frame of the sweet interaction between the young couple was as beautiful as a painting. it couldnt be more precious. at this moment, in a car by the roadside. yu hewei sat in the front passenger seat and looked at the two of them taking photos under the maple tree. after looking at them for a long time, she retracted her gaze and glanced sideways at the man in the drivers seat. look, no matter where you start, youll always lose. after a pause, yu hewei added, or rather, you didnt lose. you never got it. gu lanshis expression was calm as he replied to yu heweis words that she had deliberately said to provoke him. whether it was before or after her accident, i will always be one step behind pei jingzhou. yu hewei smiled. youre indeed useless. yu hewei knew that it was useless to provoke gu lanshi now. this person had fallen for her trap once, so there would naturally not be a second time. he was just eager, not a fool. seeing that gu lanshi did not react, yu hewei asked, did you come here just to see her again? gu lanshi said calmly, it has nothing to do with you. yu hewei said, cant i even ask? gu lanshi looked over sideways and focused her gaze on yu heweis faceo ive always wanted her. ill bear the consequences of my wishful thinking. i was just unwilling at first. yu heweis eyes narrowed dangerously. why do i feel like you have another trump card? gu lanshi chuckled. is that so? yu hewei slowly approached gu lanshi, and the distance between the two of them shortened. gu lanshi seemed to hate her. he moved back and looked away, widening the distance between them. yu hewei looked at gu lanshis reaction. you havent been close to women all these years. it doesnt look like youre pretending. gu lanshi did not say anything. yu hewei opened the topic and asked, when i found you and told you that she was still alive, i remember you saying that they could meet again i didnt take this seriously at that time, but i remembered it in my heart. recently, i always thought that you were prepared to do something, but after waiting for so long, you didnt move at all. if i hadnt called you here today, im afraid you wouldnt have come, right? i really dont want to come. gu lanshi raised his chin and looked in the direction of li xiwu and pei jingzhou. to see them like this? i suddenly feel even worse. yu hewei giggled. as she laughed, she kept the smile off her face. you want to see the old her come back, too, dont you? remember all of us, not see us like strangers. why dont you tell me what your last trump card was? gu lanshi did not look at yu hewei. there was a faint smile in his voice. didnt you say that youre very powerful and know everything? guess. yu heweis expression turned ugly. ive been investigating you for a long time. there havent been any changes from going to and from work, and youve stopped paying attention to this variety show. if you really have an ace in your hand, i wont believe it! gu lanshi sneered. its best if you dont believe me. im just here to see her today. dont disturb my life again. get out of the car. yu hewei took a deep breath and finally got out of the car. gu lanshi did not drive away immediately. he sat quietly in the car for a while and quietly looked at the couple under the maple tree not far away. after looking at them for a long time, he retracted his gaze and took out a doll half the size of his palm from his pocket. the doll was small and exquisite. it was wearing a small dress, and it was obvious that it was a toy that a few-year-old girl liked.. Chapter 311 - Chapter 311: The Existence of a Daughter chapter 311: the existence of a daughter translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations gu lanshi put away the doll and looked at his watch. it was almost three in the afternoon. he took out his phone and made a call. auntie lin, im going to pick up youyou today. on the other end of the line, auntie lin said, okay. then, she reminded gu lanshi, mr. gu, i promised little youyou yesterday that i would buy her a cake today. little youyou has been craving it for two days. remember to buy one for her when you pick her up today. gu lanshis lips curled up unconsciously, and his voice was gentle. okay, got it. after ending the call, gu lanshi looked up at the two of them standing under the maple tree and watched quietly for a while. gu lanshi retracted his gaze and threw his phone into the front passenger seat. he drove the car around. he drove back to his place. after taking a shower, he changed his clothes and went out. he adjusted the navigation route to a kindergarten and walked over in time. some kindergartens ended school at 4:30 sharp, and some kindergartens ended school at 3:00 sharp. the kindergarten where youyou was ended school at three oclock sharp. auntie lin was usually in charge of sending youyou to and from school and taking care of her daily life. gu lanshi rarely went to see youyou because he was too busy with work and did not have much time. it was also for some other reasons. around 2:50 pm, gu lanshis car arrived near the kindergarten. he navigated to a cake shop, very close to him. after taking a closer look at the road, he parked in the open-air parking lot, put on a mask, and went to line up outside the kindergarten to pick up youyou. most of the adults in the queue were grandparents. there were relatively few parents. gu lanshi was wearing a black coat and a beige turtleneck sweater. his outstanding appearance stood out among those people. the door opened and the adults entered in an orderly manner. everyones quality was relatively good. no one cut the queue! gu lanshi was in the middle of the line. from this angle, he could see youyou poking her head out of the window. she was originally looking around in boredom, but the moment she saw gu lanshi, the boredom in her eyes instantly turned into surprise. she, who had been kneeling on the stool, quickly got up and stood on the stool. this time, she was much taller. she waved at gu lanshi and shouted, brother. gu lanshi could not hear youyous voice. but from the way she spoke, he knew that she was calling him brother. gu lanshi was not surprised that youyou would recognize him at a glance with a mask on. previously, he had also worn a mask to pick youyou up. after a few years of interaction and companionship, youyou was already very familiar with him. although she could not recognize him for the first or second time, she could recognize gu lanshi in the crowd the third and fourth time. they had not seen each other for more than half a month. the teacher saw youyou standing on the stool and shouted in a gentle voice, gu youyou! come down! youyou obediently got off the stool. although she was small, her movements were very smooth. the teacher walked over and squatted down. she carefully checked whether youyou had been scratched by the bench she had climbed on just now. after checking that she was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief. then, she reprimanded with a serious face, youre the most mischievous in the class, king mischievous. youyou pouted for the teacher to see. i was wrong~ the teacher stroked youyous head indulgently. your brother came to pick you up today. even the teacher recognized gu lanshi. although she could not see gu lanshis appearance, she remembered gu lanshis clothes, height, and charming peach blossom eyes every time she saw him. youyou said happily, teacher, i saw my brother too. the teacher reached out and scratched the tip of youyous nose. then she stood up and took her hand as they walked out. at this moment, gu lanshi was already waiting outside the classroom. seeing the teacher come out holding youyous hand, gu lanshi slowly leaned over and opened his arms. youyou pounced on gu lanshi happily. brother. youyou pounced on gu lanshi. gu lanshi also hugged youyou tightly. her fair face rubbed against gu lanshis face before she kissed his cheek. youyou missed you so much. gu lanshi asked, how much do you miss me? youyou said, so much, so much. gu lanshi said, brother misses you too. no, youyou said in a muffled voice. brother hasnt come to pick me up in a long time. gu lanshi apologized. im sorry. i was a little busy with work. the next second, youyous sullen expression turned into a bright smile. its okay. youyous favorite cake costs money, so brother has to earn money to buy cake for youyou. gu lanshi picked youyou up. thats why theres cake today. youyou was overjoyed. can i have grapefruit-flavored cake, then? gu lanshi agreed. of course. at this moment, the teacher walked over. gu youyou, you havent taken your small school bag. gu lanshi carried youyou in one hand and reached out to take the small bag the teacher handed him with the other. thank you, miss. when the teacher saw gu lanshi, she was a little shy. why hasnt mr. gu come to pick youyou up recently? gu lanshi slung gu youyous small school bag over his arm. ive been busy with work recently and cant leave. the teachers gentle voice said, you have to balance work and rest. take care to rest more. gu lanshi nodded slightly. yes, i will. as the parents still had to pick up the children, it was not convenient for gu lanshi to take up too much of the teachers time, so he only asked a few questions. how has gu youyou been in kindergarten recently? the teacher looked at gu youyou in gu lanshis arms. its quite good. youyou is very lively. when parents asked about the childs performance, the teacher couldnt hide it, but she didnt say it too bluntly in front of gu lanshi, so she expressed it very implicitly. actually, the implication was that gu youyou was too lively. she was simply a little devil incarnate. the corners of gu lanshis lips slowly curled up behind his mask. his beautiful peach blossom eyes looked very deep. hows youyous appetite in kindergarten? the teacher recalled gu youyous attitude of working hard to eat till the kindergarten was poor, and her smile became helpless. gu youyou can finish her lunch every day. she can even add another drumstick and a bottle of yogurt. sometimes, theres even more. her body is especially good. gu lanshi could tell that her teacher was helpless and couldnt help but laugh thank you, teacher. after saying goodbye, gu lanshi carried youyou out of the kindergarten. youyou was very quiet in gu lanshis arms. in fact, her mind was racing. how could she convince her brother to buy another cake later? she wanted to eat two! gu lanshi looked at her eyes that were darting around with bad intentions. what are you thinking about? youyou wrapped her arms around gu lanshis neck. i havent seen you in a long, long time. i miss you very much. gu lanshi couldnt help but laugh. dont be so loquacious. youyous face was full of curiosity. what do you mean by being loquacious? gu lanshi answered seriously, it means fooling. youyou said, then im not fooling you. gu lanshi choked for a few seconds. you know what this word means.. Chapter 312 - Chapter 312: Choosing Li Xiwu as a Mother chapter 312: choosing li xiwu as a mother translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations gu lanshi weighed gu youyous weight and compared it with the last time he hugged her in his memory. in the end, he came to a conclusion. you seemed to be a little heavier. youyou said in a coquettish voice, i ate well. gu lanshi said, the teacher said that you ate too much and have to control yourself. youyou said, grandma lin said that eating is a blessing. its indeed a blessing to be able to eat. gu lanshi put youyou down and placed her at the door of the cake shop. then, he leaned over and tidied youyous coat. but if you dont control your diet rationally, i wont be able to carry you in the future. youyou was skeptical. really? gu lanshi said, so theres only one cake today. theres no second one. youyou gave in obediently. all right. just now, when he saw the little guys eyes darting around as she calculated, gu lanshi knew that this little guy was preparing to bargain. it should be because he wanted two cakes. this was not the first time. gu lanshi freed one hand to lift the curtain of the cake shop. the moment the curtain was lifted, youyou slipped in. gu lanshi could tell that auntie lin had probably brought the little guy to this cake shop a few times. seeing how familiar she was, she pointed at the glass window and shouted coquettishly, boss, boss, i want this cake. put half a grapefruit in it. the boss was a young girl. she had no business at this moment and was munching on melon seeds and watching a variety show live-stream. seeing that the little darling who loved to buy her cakes was here again, the lady boss put down the melon seeds and replied, little darling, theres no more grapefruit left. youyou pouted and looked at gu lanshi. brother, the boss said that there are no grapefruit today. gu lanshi said, then do you have any fruits you want to eat? youyou didnt hesitate. will strawberries do? gu lanshi said to the lady boss, then make strawberries. uh okay, okay. the lady boss stared at gu lanshi for a long time. she remembered that the person who had brought this little baby to buy cake seemed to be her grandma. today, it was actually a different person! it was a handsome man! although he was wearing a mask, the lady boss was sure that there must be a handsome face under the mask! the lady boss took out the plate of melon seeds. sit, eat the melon seeds, watch tv, and wait. otherwise, youll be bored. gu lanshi took it. thank you. the lady boss asked youyou with a smile, baby, i remember that your grandma brought you here before? youyou said, grandma lin isnt coming today. brother is coming to pick me up today. brother? the lady bosss eyes lit up when she heard the word brother. are you saying that this handsome man is your brother? youyou nodded. yes. the lady boss was overjoyed. she first took a washed strawberry to youyu. try todays strawberries. its not sour at all. youyou hesitated, but didnt take it. the lady boss said, this is free. sister will give it to you. only then did youyou walk over and reach out to take it. thank you the lady boss grinned at youyou. the more she looked at her, the happier she became. good girl. can i test you? youyou asked, a test? dont be too complicated. youyou knows very, very little, because youyou is very young. but youyous brother knows a lot. the boss asked softly, let me test you. whats your brothers wechat number? without thinking, youyou turned to ask gu lanshi, who was sitting there, brother, whats your wechat number? the lady boss immediately blushed and hurried back to the bakery. when youyou turned around, the lady boss was already gone. youyou returned to gu lanshi. brother, whats your wechat number? gu lanshi pursed her lips and smiled. will you remember it if i say it? youyou stuck to gu lanshi and hugged his arm. youyou has a good memory. grandma said that it must be that my parents have a good memory too. so youyou has a good memory. gu lanshi lowered his eyes and looked at the little guy who was sticking to him. youyou, what kind of mother do you think she should be? with that, youyou raised her hand and pointed at the television that was playing a variety show on the wall of the cake shop. that kind. when gu lanshi saw youyou pointing at the person on the television screen, his heart skipped a beat. youyou pointed without retracting her finger. youyou likes that. gu lanshi asked softly, why? youyou said, because the boss likes her very much and calls her mother. i want her to be my mother too. can brother buy her back as my mother? gu lanshi couldnt help but laugh. silly girl, people cant be bought and sold. youyou frowned. but grandma lin said that you can buy anything on television. gu lanshi explained, you can buy all the advertisements on television, but not people. they all exist in reality. youyou seemed to understand. got it. at this moment, the live-stream of mother-in-law joy was playing on the screen. the lady boss should be projecting the screen. in a few scenes, the lady boss chose to watch li xiwu and pei jingzhous live-stream. it was obvious that she had been watching it for a few episodes. there was still one comment that had not been posted. the last few times youyou came to buy cake, the lady boss had been chasing mother-in-law joy. at that time, li xiwus identity as mother dragon had just been exposed. the lady boss called her mother through the screen. that was the first time youyou had known that she could find her mother on television. gu lanshi leaned over and picked her up. she sat on his lap and tidied her bangs. if i bring her to you, will you like her? youyou replied without hesitation, i will. gu lanshi asked, then do you want her to be your mother or your sister? this time youyou hesitated before answering. moms better. with that, youyou pointed at the screen again. hes dad. that way, brother and i will have mom and dad. gu lanshi choked. its such a serious matter to choose mom and dad. why are you so casual, youyou? youyou hugged gu lanshis arm and said in a low voice, im not very casual. youyou likes her very much. youyou has already seen her many times because shes also on the television grandma lin watches. gu lanshis eyes were focused, but they were unfocused. li xiwus figure had already begun to appear frequently in youyous world, but in li xiwus current world, youyou had never existed. but these were only temporary. gu lanshi put youyou down and asked her seriously, do you want to see her? youyou had more of that strawberry cake in her heart now. she hesitated a little at the question. can we go after the strawberry cake? gu lanshi smiled. of course. youyou asked, then can i have another cake? gu lanshi said, huh? youyou put on a serious expression. a greeting gift. gu lanshi couldnt help but laugh. okay, a greeting gift.. Chapter 313 - Chapter 313: Very Passionate chapter 313: very passionate translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu and pei jingzhou went to the snack street together, but in the end, they did not enter the snack street because there were too many people here. there were already many passers-by watching in a direction that the camera could not reach. if this continued, they would be surrounded. the staff helped evacuate some of the onlookers, but they could not stop some of mother-in-law joys fans from coming forward to ask for li xiwus autograph. they had all prepared paper and pens in advance and handed them to li xiwu excitedly. wow, ah, ah, ah, so beautiful. sister li is really beautiful up close fourth brother is so handsome too. i dont even dare to look straight at him. it wasnt in vain for me to book a plane ticket overnight and rush over. i heard that these two days are the busiest two days of the year in north water town. sister li is really elegant, and shes so thin. this is the mother dragon ive been thinking about. i really want to hug her. no, as a rational fan, i cant scare her. everyone has to speak softer. several of the fans were mother dragons fans. actually, there were still many people who were stopped outside, but everyone was very rational. although they were not chosen to talk to li xiwu up close or get an autograph, looking at her like this made them feel very satisfied. apart from the fans at the scene, the netizens in the live-stream were also spamming the comments crazily. [my intestines are green with regret. i didnt go to north water town this time!] [there werent that many people just now. now, i feel that there are so many people at the event location. my old nose is getting excited.] [when so many people surrounded her, fourth brother immediately stood in front of sister li to protect her.] [i was moved by fourth brothers protection just now.] at this moment, li xiwu had collected more than ten pieces of paper from her fans to sign. when she saw the white paper, she immediately became cautious. pei jingzhou, who was beside her, also noticed it. he reached out to take the paper from li xiwus hand. ill hold it for you. its easier for you to write. li xiwu handed the paper to pei jingzhou, leaving behind a flyer with mother-in-law joys logo printed on it. she picked up her pen and wrote her name on the flyer. then, pei jingzhou handed all the papers with logos or cards to li xiwu. her signature was very big and beautiful. when she reached the white paper, pei jingzhou said, write a blessing. li xiwu had the same thought, but she didnt expect pei jingzhou to notice this problem and remind her. you couldnt sign a white paper directly. what if someone used the signature on the white paper to do something illegal or harmful to you? in such a situation, celebrities, especially, had to be careful. li xiwu was a manager and understood the key point. she picked up her pen and signed a blessing: all the best. then, she signed a few more blessings. in the end, li xiwu returned the paper with the signature and blessings to the fans. because they were afraid of disturbing the recording, everyone was very satisfied and did not ask for a handshake and hug again. after getting into the car, li xiwu lowered the window and waved to everyone. goodbye. there were many voices in response to her sister li, you must be happy with fourth brother for a long time. i wish mother dragon and father long will be loving every day, but dont forget to update the video! sister li, im really happy to see you today. goodbye, sister li the car was not far from the fans. li xiwu could hear everything they said sincerely. it was impossible to tell if she was happy or sad, but pei jingzhou could tell that she was trying her best to suppress the churning emotions in her heart. at this moment, the director had already entered the ten-minute advertising modeo pei jingzhou reached over and held li xiwus hand. li xiwu turned around. theyre all very enthusiastic. to be honest, li xiwu was quite emotional. she did not expect to be liked by so many people on this show. it was her honor to be loved by one person and loved by many. pei jingzhou said, thats because they all like you very much. thats why theyre so passionate about you. li xiwus heart warmed. when i was taking care of xie wen and ji weiling, it was common to see them surrounded by fans and confessed to loudly. every time, they would share their feelings with me. they were very touched, but they felt that they were not worthy of so much love. at that time, i advised them to be more confident because they were outstanding enough to be liked by many people. now that ive experienced it personally, i actually feel that im not worthy of so much love. pei jingzhou called her name. li xiwu. li xiwu looked into pei jingzhous eyes. huh? pei jingzhou said, thats because youre outstanding enough to be liked by many people. li xiwu was stunned for two or three seconds before she reacted. fourth brother, youre playing my original role. pei jingzhou said, how serious you are when you say this to them, and so am i. li xiwu felt a lump in her throat and chuckled. sentimentalism is forbidden during the advertisement. pei jingzhou reached out and rubbed her cheek. he suddenly suggested, do you want to take a boat? li xiwu raised her eyebrows. a boat? yeah. pei jingzhou did not say where to take the boat. he started the car and adjusted the route to the next place. ten minutes later, the car stopped in the open parking lot of the dock. pei jingzhou had rented a pleasure boat. the lake here was filled with small pleasure boats that could only seat about four people. if she had not seen pei jingzhou pay on the spot, li xiwu would have thought that he had rented the pleasure boat in advance. pei jingzhou went up first, then reached out to li xiwu. come. li xiwu was a little afraid and reached out hesitantly. pei jingzhou smiled at her. you dont trust me anymore? li xiwu pursed her lips and coughed lightly. ivs not like im afraid. hence, just as li xiwus hand was about to land on pei jingzhous, pei jingzhou retracted his hand. alright, come down yourself. li xiwu: in fact, the pleasure boat was only about half a meter away from the stone slab by the dock. it only took a slight lift of her foot to step onto the pleasure boat. however, li xiwu rarely took a boat. she would have the fear of accidentally stepping into the lake. at this moment, the advertisement in the live-stream had been turned off. when the audience saw the scene just now, the screen was filled with hahahahaha. li xiwu stood still and looked at pei jingzhou without blinking. pei jingzhou smiled and asked, why arent you coming down? li xiwu said seriously, i want to stand on the shore and look at the scenery. pei jingzhou said calmly, then ill watch you on the pleasure boat. li xiwu took a deep breath. pei! jing! zhou! she sounded more or less gritting her teeth. pei jingzhou couldnt help but laugh. whats wrong, honey? li xiwu said, help me. pei jingzhou wanted to tease her. have you seen enough of the scenery? li xis cheeks puffed up in anger. this time, pei jingzhou reached out with both hands. honey, youve seen enough of the scenery. come down. he gave her so much face.. Chapter 314 - Chapter 314: First Meeting of Father and Daughter chapter 314: first meeting of father and daughter translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. she held pei jingzhous hand and stepped onto the pleasure boat in one go. the moment she stepped on it, the pleasure boat swayed gently. li xiwu grabbed pei jingzhous hand tightly. she was a little flustered. people who rarely took a boat probably had the same mentality as her. it was fine. she would get used to it. it seemed that she could not always think about paragliding in her free time in the future. it was good to go out to sea. pei jingzhous voice sounded in her ear. its fine. just hold on to me. dont be afraid. i wont shake you into the water. li xiwu whispered, it feels a little embarrassing. pei jingzhou said, the camera is behind you. li xiwus expression changed slightly. she turned around and saw that the cameraman and the others had already boarded another pleasure boat. this pleasure boat was very close to theirs, and the camera was a meter behind her. the netizens were extremely excited. [close! close! brother cameraman is awesome, exciting!] [fourth brothers looks are simply my dream material!] [im going to die. li xiwu still has such a cute side.] [please arrange another husband and wife variety show, director. sister li and fourth brother will participate. i guarantee that i wont miss a minute of every episode.] at this moment, gao yueban was also watching li xiwu and pei jingzhous live-stream. when he saw that some netizens had suggested holding another couple variety show, he immediately turned to yu jing and said, hows the market for the couple variety show? yu jing said, as long as its a variety show and its done well, the winter market will warm up. the key is that miss li and president pei wont be on the couple variety show again. gao yueban was stifled. boss pei definitely doesnt have time. yu jing thought of something and suddenly suggested, its alright to organize a variety show for intern parents. when the time comes, well strike while the iron is hot and invite one of the groups to take charge. its probably not bad. children gao yueban felt a headache when he heard about children. i passed by the children variety show before. anyway, i dont want to direct another parent-child variety show for three years. yu jing asked, has three years passed? gao yueban didnt think much of it. yes, not long ago. thats good. the nanjia production has already started preparing the script for the intern parent variety show, yu jing said. the company has taken a fancy to this project and is already talking about it. once theyre done, theyll start recruiting. gao yueban. this time, yu jing was not joking. nanjia production was indeed already preparing the script for their intern parents variety show, and gao yuebans company specialized in filming variety shows. this time, they planned to accept this project produced by nanjia. yu jing said it very conservatively. actually, it had already been settled and they had already started to recruit business. at this moment, li xiwu and pei jingzhou both sat in the pleasure boat. although it was a temporary rented pleasure boat, every pleasure boat was equipped with tea and snacks. pei jingzhou looked at the tea leaves and said in disdain, its damp. li xiwu looked at it. it should be often prepared on pleasure boats. where theres water, its easy to get wet. the snacks are not bad. fourth brother, try them. she moved the snacks in front of pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou took a look and did not take it because he was not interested. however, when li xiwu handed him a piece, pei jingzhou reached out to take it and took a bite. li xiwu rested her chin on her hand. is it good? pei jingzhou shook his head. its too sweet. li xiwu smiled. of course. the one i chose will definitely be sweet. pei jingzhou smiled. no wonder. there were pleasure boats in front and behind. the production team did not only film li xiwu and pei jingzhous pleasure boat. they also filmed the other pleasure boats, mainly to capture the mood. li xiwu stayed on the pleasure boat for a while longer before slowly adapting. she did not panic when the pleasure boat swayed and could still come out to stand on the deck. the pleasure boats passed by one after another. when the people on the pleasure boat saw li xiwu, they would take out their phones to take photos of her. facing the cameras of these passers-by, li xiwu did not avoid them and openly let them take photos. when she passed another pleasure boat, li xiwus attention was attracted by it. on the front panel of the pleasure boat stood a little girl of about three or four. at this moment, the little girl was pointing at her and shouting at the people in the pleasure boat behind her, brother, i see mommy. i see mommy. li xiwu was stunned. mommy? was she calling her? the sudden joy of becoming a mother stunned li xiwu. even pei jingzhou, who was sitting in the pleasure boat, could not help but get up curiously and come out to see what was going on. a mans gentle voice came from the pleasure boat opposite. youyou, come in. youyou obediently turned around and entered the pleasure boat. after a while, she came out again and lay her hands on the railing of the pleasure boat. she looked at li xiwu, who was separated by the boat. sister, im sorry. li xiwu said, hmm? she had been taught by an adult. she had just called her mommy, but now she was calling her sister. little youyou said in a soft voice, although im also your little fan, brother said not to call you that. itll scare you. li xiwu was surprised. you watch mother-in-law joy too? little youyou revealed a row of neat teeth. i like mother dragon. hearing this, li xiwu immediately understood why this little girl called her mommy whenever she saw her. it was because most of the mother dragon fans called her mom. she had just scared her, thinking that a daughter had suddenly appeared. li xiwus eyes were unknowingly filled with gentleness. your name is youyou, right? little youyous gaze was almost glued to li xiwu. i love grapefruit. do you like grapefruit? li xiwu even carefully thought about how much she liked grapefruit before answering the little girl opposite her seriously, i like it. little youyous eyes lit up. wow, we have a common hobby. that wow sounded especially cute. the last person li xiwu liked so much was yaoyao. now, it was the little girl opposite her. why are other peoples children so cute? i want to have my own child at the thought of this, the smile on li xiwus face faded a little. in her dream, madam di xin had seen her pregnancy, and madam di xin had adopted yaoyao. did yaoyao have anything to do with her? although there were all kinds of doubts, yaoyao was only three years and four months old. according to the timeline, if she was really pregnant, the child was born four years ago. the time didnt match at all. its either yaoyao had nothing to do with her, or yaoyaos age was fake. that was why she desperately wanted to go to country t. she wanted to find out all about it. at this moment, pei jingzhou came out. who was calling mommy just now? li xiwu came back to her senses and turned to smile at pei jingzhou. its that little girl opposite me. she said that shes my little fan. pei jingzhou looked up. it was a little girl of three or four. she had two loose, soft little ponytails on her head. her bangs were straight, and her cheeks were flushed on both sides, revealing a row of even teeth that were smiling. when youyou saw pei jingzhou, not only was she not afraid, but her smile became even brighter. she turned to the people on the pleasure boat and said, brother, i cant call her mom. then can i call him dad? i saw dad. pei jingzhou: Chapter 315 - Chapter 315: Yaoyao and Youyou’s Similarity chapter 315: yaoyao and youyous similarity translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations youyou was usually very lively and a chatterbox. even if it was a stranger she had just met, she could quickly get to know him. she was never afraid of strangers. she loved crowds and hated being alone. in auntie lins words, youyou had that social awesomeness since she was young. after gu lanshi raised youyou, he cared a lot about her, but he rarely went to see her. even if they had not seen each other for ten days to half a month, or at most for more than three months, when youyou saw gu lanshi, she would still call him brother very intimately and chase after gu lanshi. but she rarely cried, even when they parted. even if her classmates said that she was a wild child without parents, she would not be sad. she would only reply heartlessly, youre the one who doesnt have parents. once, gu lanshi asked youyou seriously, will you be sad if you never see your parents? youyou was playing with plasticine at that time and looked so serious. grandma lin said that it hurts when a mother gives birth to a child. it must be because mom was in too much pain when she gave birth to me that she didnt want to see me. its fine as long as im obedient. as long as im obedient, dad will take me to see mom. it was also that time that gu lanshi had the thought of bringing youyou to see li xiwu. it was just that there had never been a suitable opportunity. and today was just right. youyou, come in. its cold outside, gu lanshi shouted again, but he did not come out himself. he could not meet li xiwu and pei jingzhou like this. his identity would be exposed. youyou looked eagerly at li xiwu and pei jingzhou on the pleasure boat opposite her. she did not want to go in until gu lanshi said, if you dont come in, the cake will be gone. this sentence was equivalent to ten sentences. youyou immediately turned around and slipped in, shouting anxiously, cake, cake, cake thats youyous cake. seeing this, li xiwu couldnt help but laugh. fourth brother, shes so cute. pei jingzhou retracted his gaze. like you when you were young. huh? li xiwu turned to look at pei jingzhou and raised her eyebrows. was i so cute when i was young? pei jingzhou said, yes. li xiwu was skeptical. i feel like i had a stuffy personality when i was young. the little girl just now had a personality like a little sun. anyone would like such a personality, and she should have had that kind of dull personality since she was young, right? as she thought this, she heard pei jingzhou say, youre not stuffy. li xiwu smiled at him. maybe youre the only one who thought so? pei jingzhous voice was calm. everyone thinks so, little sun. that little sun made li xiwu feel coaxed. although she did not know if she had the personality of a little sun in the past. sister~ li xiwu heard youyou calling her and turned around. she saw youyou, who had slipped in just now, coming out of the pleasure boat again and waving at her. li xiwu quite liked this little girl. have you finished the cake so quickly? youyou answered, i only had one bite. it was strawberry-flavored. li xiwu guessed that the little girl had not specially come out to tell her that the cake was strawberry-flavored, right? she was so cute. youyou turned to gu lanshi, who was in the pleasure boat, and said, brother, can you tell uncle captain to get closer to sisters boat? gu lanshi did not respond. youyou called out several times, brother, okay? brother, you clearly promised me. brother? if you ignore me again, i wont like you anymore. gu lanshi chuckled softly. are you sure? after this low laugh, he did not deliberately lower his voice. pei jingzhou looked at the pleasure boat opposite him. he could not clearly see who the man sitting in the pleasure boat was, but he could vaguely see that figure. the little girl was about four years old at most. her brother couldnt have been much older. but at first the voice sounded deep. not like a teenager of seventeen or eighteen. pei jingzhou wanted to see more clearly. at this moment, gu lanshi raised his voice and negotiated with the captain to move the pleasure boat closer. the captain said no problem. hence, very quickly, gu lanshis pleasure boat slowly approached li xiwu and pei jingzhous pleasure boat. when it got closer and closer, youyou handed over the wrapped cake in her hand and said in a coquettish voice, sister, here, a greeting gift. li xiwu was surprised. for me? youyou nodded. yupp. li xiwu was surprised, but she didnt have time to think too much about it. she quickly reached out. retract your hand a little. dont stand on tiptoe. ill pick it up. she was afraid that youyou would flip out of the fence and fall into the water. although the probability of such a situation was very small, it had to be for safetys sake. youyou was very obedient and did not reach out again. as the two pleasure boats approached, li xiwus hand was about to touch the cake box in the little girls hand. at this moment, pei jingzhou held li xiwus other hand and reminded her gently, be careful. dont flip. li xiwu said, i wont. pei jingzhou pulled her back. im worried. li xiwu smiled brightly. then fourth brother, hold me steady. pei jingzhou slowly leaned forward. im just short of hugging you. [not only is fourth brother good at it, but hes also protecting sister li at all times.] [little cutie, i really want to rub it!] [when the little girl called li xiwu mom just now, i was really stunned.] [haha, me too. i was thinking that sister li and fourth brothers children are already so old? no way??] [i feel that sister li and fourth brothers child should be as cute and beautiful as this little girl.] [i dont have any other wishes after the show ends. i just hope to see sister li show off her children next year. fourth brother will take care of them.] the two pleasure boats were slowly approaching. li xiwu stretched out her hand slightly and received the cake box from youyou. did you take it? youyou asked in a sweet voice. li xiwu caught it. i got it. youyou said, then ill let go. li xiwu said, okay. only then did youyou slowly let go of her hand. after li xiwu took the cake box, pei jingzhou held it for her immediately. ill take it. li xiwu handed the cake to pei jingzhou and turned to look at youyou. youyous hand was still outstretched. the palm, back of her hand, and fingers looked chubby. they were so cute that li xiwu couldnt help but take a few more glances and even wanted to touch them. li xiwu said, thank you for the cake. youyou smiled at li xiwu with her teeth bared. youre welcome. after saying that, youyou asked, sister, can i hold your hand? sure. li xiwu leaned closer to the fence again and reached out. at such a close distance, li xiwu could see youyous appearance more clearly. it was obvious that the little girls appetite should be very good usually. she was fair and tender, and she was extremely lively. her big black grape-like eyes looked very similar to yaoyaos. it was probably because childrens eyes were very similar when they were young. apart from her eyes, there was also her mouth. it felt quite similar to yaoyao. its over.. the more li xiwu looked at it, the more she felt that not only her eyes and mouth, but her facial features looked a little similar Chapter 316 - Chapter 316: That Year’s Pregnancy chapter 316: that years pregnancy translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations however, yaoyao looked thinner and smaller. his appetite was usually not very good, and he ate very little. on the other hand, youyou looked to be in good health. she was definitely not picky about food. li xiwu had interacted with yaoyao for two days, and now, she misses him. that was why she felt that the little girl in front of her looked like yaoyao. at this moment, li xiwu couldnt bear to let go of youyous hand. it was so cute. and shed been given a cake on their first meeting. shed loved it. youyou scratched li xiwus palm with her meaty fingers. li xiwu beamed. hmm? youyou said, sister, the cake is strawberry-flavored. li xiwu nodded. okay. youyou also said, i like grapefruit, but the lady boss doesnt have any today. the strawberry ones are also very delicious. you have to finish them. li xiwu nodded again. okay. youyou slowly took her hand back from li xiwus palm and waved it. she said in a soft voice, bye, sister~ li xiwu was still a little reluctant and quickly shouted, wait, youyou. when youyou heard li xiwus shout, she turned back to look at her. li xiwu asked, when is youyou going home? youyou shook her head and said truthfully, i dont know. sister, you have to wait a moment. ill ask brother when hes going home. li xiwu agreed. after youyou went in to ask, li xiwu stood up and turned to look at the cake in pei jingzhous hand. it was a very small cake. when youyou handed it over just now, she accidentally shook it. the cake looked a little crooked, but it did not affect its entire appearance. there was a complete strawberry on it. li xiwu had never been very enthusiastic about cake. but she wanted to eat it all. pei jingzhou saw through her thoughts. there are words in both of your eyes. li xiwu looked away from the cake and at pei jingzhou. what words? pei jingzhou said, the left eye is cant. the right eye is wait. connect them together, it is cant wait. li xiwu: was it that obvious?! after youyou finished asking, she leaned her hands on the fence and said to li xiwu, sister, brother said that hell go home later. so soon li xiwu wanted to return the favor, but she was afraid that she would not meet youyou later. when she heard youyou say that she would go home later, she probably would not be able to return the favor. she agreed. seeing youyou wave at her, she waved back. this time, youyou entered the pleasure boat and did not come out again. the pleasure boat moved ahead, getting further and further away. youyous brother had never appeared) but li xiwu was not curious about him. she only thought that it would be good if she could meet youyou again later. then, li xiwu followed pei jingzhou back to the pleasure boat. after sitting down, pei jingzhou asked her, are you going back to eat the cake or here? the cake could last a little longer in this weather. li xiwu wanted to bring it home to eat. she couldnt help but look at the cake box again. eat here. pei jingzhou opened the cake box. there was a fork inside. li xiwu reached out to take it, but he blocked her hand. wait a minute. wipe your hands before eating. with that, he found wet tissues from li xiwus bag and handed her one. li xiwu waved her hand and refused. theres no need to wipe it. little youyou just held my hand. itll be gone after wiping it. pei jingzhou raised his eyebrows. are you sure? li xiwu was indeed very impatient. she said two words in a row, yes, yes. pei jingzhou smiled faintly. sure. li xiwu picked up a piece of cream with her fork and placed it in her mouth. then, she continued to dig. she took five bites in a row, each bite with cake and cream. pei jingzhou watched silently. li xiwu sensed pei jingzhous gaze, so she looked up at him. pei jingzhous thin lips curled up. you finally remember [hahahaha, fourth brother is aggrieved.] [fourth brother must have thought that the second bite was his, but the second bite was not. the third to fifth bites of the cake were not his either.] [if that little girl just now saw sister li cherish her cake so much, she would be very happy.] [i want to take a bite. it feels delicious.] li xiwu smiled in embarrassment. its so delicious. pei jingzhou said, so delicious that you forgot about me. no, no. li xiwu quickly dug out a piece and fed it to pei jingzhou. the cream is very delicate. i think its just right. the cream in pei jingzhous mouth had already melted. he nodded and picked up the strawberry she had not eaten with his fingertips and fed it to her. li xiwu took a bite. pei jingzhou said, bite a little more. li xiwu did as she was told and took another bite. the remaining part was a little sour. li xiwu had already bitten off the sweet part, and the remaining tail was eaten by pei jingzhou. li xiwu asked him, is it sour? pei jingzhou replied truthfully, a little. li xiwu fed pei jingzhou a piece of cake with her fork. quick, neutralize the sourness. pei jingzhou smiled. i feel sweet when i look at you. li xiwu said, uh-huh. she was about to move her hand back when pei jingzhou stopped her hand. he lowered his head slightly and opened his lips to slowly eat the cake. this scene almost stunned li xiwu. the audience was almost excited to death. the screen was filled with ahhhh. half an hour later, the pleasure boat stopped by the shore. pei jingzhou went ashore first before reaching out to pick li xiwu up. the first thing li xiwu did after coming ashore was to find the bathroom. pei jingzhou accompanied her and waited for her outside. when she came out to wash her hands, li xiwu received a call. it was an unknown number. she picked it up after washing her hands. hello, im li xiwu. a familiar voice came from the phone. hello. li xiwu couldnt remember where she had heard this voice before, but she felt that it was too familiar. after asking who it was, her doubts were answered. the person on the other end of the line said, im gu lanshi. li xiwu suddenly tightened her grip on her cell phone. she did not know what state gu lanshi was in when he called her. wasnt he live-streaming with xue jinzhu? why did he suddenly call her? gu lanshi seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. his voice was neither fast nor slow. dont think too much. im alone now. im not on camera. hearing this, li xiwu heaved a sigh of relief. then, she asked, whats the matter? gu lanshi asked her, when are you free? i want to officially meet you. to meet her? last time, he used such despicable methods, but this time, he expressed his attitude first. he wanted it to be official? li xiwu couldnt figure out what this person was thinking. what are you talking about? we dont seem to be that familiar. gu lanshi said firmly, i think youll definitely come to see me. li xiwu laughed. mr. gu, youre too confident. as soon as she finished speaking, she heard gu lanshi ask her, if its about your pregnancy back then, dont you want to know? li xiwu was stunned. how could gu lanshi know something that pei jingzhou did not? Chapter 317 - Chapter 317: Hiding It from Pei Jingzhou chapter 317: hiding it from pei jingzhou translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu looked around. there was no one else. pei jingzhou was still waiting for her outside. her rationality reminded her that she should end the call with gu lanshi now. go out and find a chance to tell pei jingzhou that gu lanshi had called. but li xiwu took a deep breath and lowered her voice. what exactly are you trying to say? gu lanshi could hear the nervousness in li xiwus tone. i want to meet you alone. li xiwu replied bluntly, i dont want to see you. gu lanshi asked her, are you worried that something like what happened last time will happen again? last time, i was bewitched by yu hewei, so i did such an irrational thing. now, i can promise you that what happened last time will never happen again. li xiwu smiled when she heard this. are you shirking responsibility? does yu hewei know that you sold her in front of me? there was silence on the other end of the line. li xiwu continued, but thank you for telling me that youve been working with yu hewei. your goal was to let me regain my memory? there was still silence on the line. she wondered if gu lanshi was still on the phone. li xiwu didnt care if he spoke or not. since the call hadnt ended, he would definitely hear what she said on the other end of the line. her tone became even softer. actually, you and yu hewei dont have to go through so much trouble to let me regain my memories. the memories i lost are already recovering intermittently. ill remember them completely soon. i remember you saying that you were my former senior brother. yu hewei also said that she was my former best friend. i will remember you, but i also hope that before i remember you, you wont try to do anything overboard again. after saying what she wanted to say, li xiwu was about to end the call. at this moment, gu lanshis voice sounded with an interrogative tone. pei jingzhou didnt know about your pregnancy back then. how did you lie to him back then? i know everything that happened. li xiwus fingers, which were about to hang up, suddenly froze in midair. after a long while, she raised her cell phone slowly and stiffly. what did you say? gu lanshis voice was mixed with a smile. you were pregnant behind pei jingzhous back then. are you sure you want to wait until you remember before asking pei jingzhou where your child is? does he know? he doesnt seem to know anything?! li xiwus emotions became unstable. she tried her best to stabilize her emotions and not be bewitched by gu lanshi. gu lanshi said, you can also tell pei jingzhou everything i said. however, dont regret it when you remember. li xiwu gritted her teeth. are you threatening me? this isnt a threat. its a reminder. gu lanshis voice didnt sound strong. little you, i wont do anything to threaten you, and i wont do anything to you. i just want to see you again alone, thats all. li xiwu pursed her lips and said nothing for a long time. at this moment, a production crew came in to look for her. seeing that she was on the phone, they did not come over to disturb her. they turned around and went out again. li xiwu took a deep breath and quickly calmed herself down. are you done? if youre done, im hanging up. i still have to record a show. gu lanshi said, ill pick you up outside qiang yue garden at three in the afternoon tomorrow. with that, the call ended. li xiwu slowly stood up. she had already calmed down. she told herself not to think about what gu lanshi had said on the phone because when she thought about those words, she could not calm down. if she did not calm down, it would be easy to tell. what she needed to confirm with madam di xin had been confirmed by gu lanshi. she had really been pregnant before moreover, she had hidden the fact that she was pregnant from pei jingzhou back then. no wonder madam di xins words in the dream were referring to something. when she woke up, she still felt that it was half a dream and half real. she even asked pei jingzhou indirectly, but he really did not know. hence, she began to doubt the authenticity of the dream and wanted to go to country t to confirm it with madam di xin. because she always felt that if she was really pregnant back then, why didnt pei jingzhou know? werent they very in love? why didnt she even tell him that she was pregnant? what exactly happened? until just now, gu lanshi had personally mentioned her pregnancy back then. pei jingzhou waited for a long time, but li xiwu did not come out, so he called her, but it kept reminding him that the other party was on the phone. it was not convenient for him to enter the female washroom, so he asked a female staff member of the production team to go in and take a look. after the staff member went in, she came out and told him, mr. pei, miss li is on the phone. she should be out soon. pei jingznou did not relax. atter another two minutes, li xiwu came out ot tne bathroom. she looked at ease as she explained, i called president qi back. they exchanged glances. pei jingzhou replied, mm. li xiwu felt a little guilty, afraid that pei jingzhou would notice something. after looking at each other for a few seconds, she looked away and walked forward to ask, where are we going later? she walked with her gaze lowered, her heart beating a little faster. pei jingzhou stared at her slender back for a while before walking forward and asking her, is there anywhere else you want to go? no. li xiwu looked at the time on her wristwatch and replied, why dont we go back to the hotel? pei jingzhou replied, anything. then, the two of them returned to the hotel. it was almost five oclock. li xiwu had been with pei jingzhou for the entire afternoon. after playing for so long, she should return to the hotel. the director had an advance notice that there was a dinner party tonight and had booked a large private room. li xiwu met xue jinzhu on the way back to the hotel. she stood by the roadside to buy candied hawthorn and took a bite before paying. one side of her cheeks was puffed up, and she spoke incoherently. i say, uncle, you cant sell it so expensive just because youre in the scenic area. a candied hawthorn is fifteen yuan. its like a robbery. the uncle who sold the candied hawthorn asked confidently, just say if its sour? xue jinzhu couldnt go against her conscience. its alright. my candied hawthorn is sweet on the outside and sweet on the inside. the old man was very confident. you cant say anything about the quality of every hawthorn. i even lost out on this price. xue jinzhu swallowed the food in her mouth and said even more clearly than before, candied hawthorn is only delicious when its sour and sweet. youre making it so sweet. do you still want your teeth? the old man rolled his eyes at xue jinzhu speechlessly. you really know how to quarrel in a straw. xue jinzhu smiled and walked away, leaving the old man who had sold the candied hawthorn cursing. xue jinzhu came down the steps with the stick of candied hawthorn. the live-stream team behind her followed her not far away, and some passers-by were watching. the netizens witnessed the scene of xue jinzhu bickering with the old man who bought the candied hawthorn. the comments were filled with hahahaha. xue jinzhu. xue jinzhu heard someone calling her and looked around. she looked left and right but did not see the person who called her.. xue jinzhu muttered, its broad daylight what the hell? Chapter 318 - Chapter 318: Finished chapter 318: finished translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations she clearly heard someone call her name. she looked around but did not see anyone. wasnt this seeing a ghost in broad daylight?! li xiwu rested her elbows on the car window and raised her voice. jinzhu, im over here. look here. xue jinzhu looked across and saw li xiwu in the car. she thought to herself that it was a good thing she didnt say it loudly. she quickly quickened her pace and walked to the car door. sister li, where did you go? li xiwu replied, i rowed. xue jinzhu looked envious. thats good. are you ready to go back now? yes. li xiwu smiled faintly. we were about to return to the hotel when we passed by and saw you. why are you alone? where are auntie tang and gu lanshi? at the mention of gu lan, xue jinzhu looked depressed. dont mention it. that stinky man is really something. he promised to shop with me, but he was called away. if not for the fact that the occasion was not right, xue jinzhu definitely wanted to complain: someone like him deserves to not be able to find a girlfriend! unlike her brother, who would never leave her behind easily as long as he was with her. with that, xue jinzhu took a fierce bite of the candied hawthorn. forget it, lets not talk about him. the words in xue jinzhus heart were: its unlucky to mention such a man. however, because it was a live-stream, it was not convenient for her to say it. just now, she expressed her dissatisfaction a little. it was also a small quarrel between couples. in the eyes of the audience, her relationship with gu lanshi was even more real. how could a couple not have a small quarrel? li xiwu suggested, do you want to get in the car and go back to the hotel together? xue jinzhu immediately nodded. okay, okay. she opened the car door and was about to bend down to get in when she saw pei jingzhou sitting beside li xiwu. the image seemed to freeze for a few seconds. then, xue jinzhu closed the car door again. i want to play for a while more before going back. sister li, you guys can go back first. li xiwu knew that xue jinzhu did not dare to get into the car when she saw pei jingzhou, so she said to him, fourth brother, why dont you drive? the cameraman was sitting in the front passenger seat. although there were three people in the back, xue jinzhu did not dare to get into the car when she saw pei jingzhou. li xiwu could only make this arrangement. pei jingzhou did not say anything. he nodded and pushed open the car door. actually, xue jinzhu wanted to say that she should go back alone. she felt that she did not dare to breathe too heavily when she was in the same car as president pei. it couldnt be helped. this damned oppression. however, now that president pei had lowered himself to be the chauffeur in front, xue jinzhu could only bite the bullet and sit in the back seat. the journey of a few minutes was as long as a century. xue jinzhu sat obediently and did not dare to move. she did not even dare to eat the candied hawthorn in her hand. she only chewed the candied hawthorn in her mouth and did not dare to spit out the seeds. li xiwu glanced sideways at her. every time i see you, its like seeing my friend. she missed qiao qiao a little. she wondered when she would be able to return to the capital from xingzhou. could shao jingmo let her come to the capital after they got married? xue jinzhu pursed her hawthorn seeds and said, is my personality very similar to hers? li xiwu nodded. mm. xue jinzhu grinned, and the hawthorn seeds almost flew out of her mouth. she covered her mouth and said politely, two best friends always have opposite personalities. its a law. li xiwu nodded. now that you mention it, that seems to be the case. qiao qiao had a carefree personality. she didnt follow any rules in whatever she did. moreover, qiao qiaos personality was completely opposite to her current personality. the laws were so subtle. the two of them chatted all the way back to the hotel. xue jinzhu remained gentle and ladylike, while pei jingzhou was in charge of driving. they did not speak the entire time. around six oclock, everyone went to dinner. the large private room was filled with people. none of the guests were absent. all three husbands were here, except for xue jinzhus boyfriend. however, everyone knew that gu lanshi had been called away by a call about work in the afternoon. the audience was also very satisfied with his appearance in the last episode. [mother-in-law joys last dinner was full of farewell.] [my favorite food variety show is coming to an end.] [i really like my brainless and unhappy cp!] [miss pig, you must be with mr. gu for a long time!] [the voting on the official weibo account today is still led by li xiwu and han qianyes group. 1,860,000 people voted for them.] [im already looking forward to mother-in-law joys third season.] the atmosphere at dinner today was very good. the show was about to end. everyone was reluctant from the bottom of their hearts, especially after spending nearly a month together. it was hard to forget these wonderful things. the audience liked min hanrong at first because of their past feelings. later on, because min hanrong was the mother-in-law of a wealthy family, she did not put on any airs and looked at her daughter-in-law with admiration at all times. tao jing had a quiet appearance and was sometimes a little cute. her personality was easy to get along with and she was not shy. xu muzhen was a simple person with a doctor profession. her various performances on the show made the audience change their opinion of doctors. this change was not because of medical ethics, but because as a doctor, xu muzhen reminded the patient not to drink the beverage a second ago. after the patient left, she took out the beverage and took a big sip. this contrast was a side that many people could not see. the audience liked xiang lan because of her tolerance for xu muzhen. the relationship between mother and daughter-in-law was moderately clear, but there was no sense of distance. it was also enviable for many to maintain this relationship. han qianye was not likable from the beginning. at first, she was a little arrogant, liked to put on airs, and liked to make decisions on her own. later, as she interacted with li xiwu day by day, han qianye began to take her attitude seriously. later on, she began to think about li xiwu everywhere. her eyes were filled with li xiwu. the brainless and unhappy couple made the audience click their tongues. and li xiwu was originally the most inconspicuous existence. she looked very buddha-like and did not care so much about anything. as long as han qianye said that she did not know how to do it, she would definitely not fight for it. but later on, in order to make han qianye happy, she began to show her true level. she could make han qianye not lose every time, make han qianye happy, and make han qianye satisfied. at this moment, the screen was filled with all kinds of reluctance. in addition to all the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law guests, mo yujin and yu hewei were also present tonight. the audience thought that guan suling would be attending tonight) but she was nowhere to be seen. when asked, mo yujin explained, my mother likes peace and quiet. shes not used to places that are too lively, but she instructed me to take xixi back early. mo yujin did not let it slip. she knew that she could not call her little you directly now, so she followed han qianye and called her xixi. min hanrong was the first to be curious. xixi? is it xiwu? mo yujin replied, yes. min hanrong was surprised. whats xiwus relationship with you? mo yujin said generously, xixi is my niece. as soon as these words were spoken, the others present widened their eyes in shock. they subconsciously looked for li xiwu, but they couldnt find her. they learned that li xiwu had accompanied xue jinzhu to the bathroom. min hanrong could not believe that she had suddenly learned such a shocking thing in the last two hours! she asked mo yujin, is she your niece that you acknowledge? mo yujin smiled and said, no, shes my biological niece.. Chapter 319 - Chapter 319: The Whole Internet Knew Li Xiwu’s Background chapter 319: the whole internet knew li xiwus background translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations mo yujin explained in a neither fast nor slow tone, actually, i came to this show for xixi. i originally planned to reveal my relationship with xixi on the first day and let everyone know, but my mother didnt want to cause too much trouble for xixi, so she didnt say anything about the relationship. with that explanation, everyone came to a realization. so that was what had happened. li xiwu was in the limelight now. her grandmother and aunt wanted to visit her, but they were afraid of causing her too much trouble, so they did not reveal their identities. it was reasonable. [no wonder matriarch mo always looked at li xiwu strangely after she appeared. so its grandma.] [how much did she dote on her granddaughter to come here secretly? her granddaughter is clearly in front of her. but shes afraid of causing trouble for her granddaughter, so she pretended not to know her and kept losing money to her.] [to be loved by so many people is simply the pinnacle of life. im so envious of sister li.] [i have to admit that li xiwu is really low-key. if my background was so impressive, i would have exposed myself on the first day of recording the show.] tang xian casually added, no wonder mo yujin and qianye know each other. so its because of this relationship. as soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at han qianye. han qianye looked a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people at once. she did not need to look at mo yujin to know how to answer. recently, there have been too many rumors about our xixis background. when matriarch mo found out, her heart ached for xixi, so she specially came to take a look today. with that, everyone understood. li xiwus background was rumored by the outside world. many people present knew about this. however, no one knew the details, so it was not appropriate to ask about her background. [brainless said it very implicitly. actually, grandma is not only here to miss her granddaughter, but also to support her!] [its a grandmother that i couldnt get.] [that matriarch mo is a very strict person. perhaps she gave all her gentleness to sister li.] tang xian suddenly thought of something and asked mo yujin, if i remember correctly, your sister is mo zhu? mo yujin smiled faintly. yes. tang xian pretended to be surprised. is it really mo zhu? mo yujin nodded. yes. at the side, yu hewei interrupted and asked, auntie tang, is the mo zhu youre talking about li xiwus mother? although mo yujin had said that she was li xiwus aunt, no one knew how many daughters the mo family had. the name mo zhu sounded like a member of the mo family, and mo yujin had also admitted that mo zhu was her sister, but it might not be sister lis mother! as soon as she asked, she received an affirmative answer from mo yujin. xixis mother is my sister, mo zhu. yu hewei said, i see. tang xian specifically mentioned, i remember that many years ago, there was a female mayor in shen city. that female mayors name was mo zhu. yes! i remember that! i remember! it was xiang lan who answered. there are very few female mayors in china. i remember the female mayor who took office in shen city many years ago very clearly. her name is indeed mo zhu. xu muzhen asked in surprise, in other words, li xiwus mother was once the mayor of shen city? xiang lan: i only remember that many years ago, there was a female mayor in shen city. her name was mo zhu. her appointment left a deep impression on me. as for whether she was xiwus mother, im not sure. you have to ask mo yujin. everyone looked at mo yujin again. mo yujin met everyones gaze and said, yes. xu muzhen held her jaw in shock. wow! li xiwus mother was actually the mayor of shen city in the past! this is too awesome! there were indeed very few female mayors. to be able to sit in this position, other than having a political background, her personal ability was definitely top-notch. tao jings surprise was no less than xu muzhens. i didnt expect xiwus mother to be so powerful. yu hewei pursed her lips. no wonder li xiwu is so outstanding. it turns out that she has an outstanding mother. min hanrong sighed. yes. originally, min hanrongs thoughts were similar to the netizens. she only thought that li xiwu was lucky enough to marry into a wealthy family. her background was not compatible with the pei family at all. only now did she know that li xiwus background was actually so impressive. not only was the mo family in the capital famous, but the female mayor of shen city was also an influential figure. the expressions on everyones faces changed rapidly. pei jingzhou, who was sitting in an inconspicuous seat, did not participate in any conversation, because once he spoke, the others would not speak. he ate quietly and waited patiently for li xiwu to return. he looked down at his wristwatch again. it had probably been six minutes. he had to find her if she was not back by ten minutes. at this moment, with li xiwus identity exposed, other than the expressions of everyone present changing rapidly, the more than 28 million netizens watching the live-stream flooded the screen with this topic. [are you serious?] [the netizens guess in the afternoon was actually confirmed!!] [no wonder li xiwu is so outstanding. because her mother is even more impressive!] [mo zhu is li xiwus mother, so uncle li is li xiwus father?] [why didnt anyone mention madam mo zhus husband? uncle li is an outstanding chief diplomat.] [no way? li xiwus father is uncle li? thats impossible!] [li xiwu even went to the li mansion last time. it was like she was visiting. it didnt feel like she was returning to her house at all.] [i mean, is it possible that li xiwu is too low-key? those who have watched that live-stream should remember that mr. cai only let li xiwu enter the li mansion.] [yes, yes, yes! at that time, i was wondering why mr. cai only let li xiwu enter the li mansion. now, i finally understand. so li xiwu is uncle lis daughter! she went back to her house that day.] [i dont believe it! her mother was once a female mayor. thats impressive enough. her father is also our countrys most outstanding chief diplomat. how is this her family background? this is her cheat!] [if this is all true, i can only say that li xiwu is too low-key.] [but li xiwus parents are both very powerful figures. why did she work in the entertainment industry? i remember that uncle li had a very powerful daughter. back then, she was supposed to return to china to work as a spokesperson for the ministry of foreign affairs and public information, but later on, something seemed to have happened and she couldnt return to china.] [could li xiwu be the second daughter of li huaisheng and mo zhu?] the comments flooded the screen. apart from being shocked, the audience began to search for how many daughters li huaisheng had. they thought that there would be an answer, but the baidu information did not detail how many daughters li huaisheng had. only the wife column was mo zhus name. this made everyone even more suspicious. was li xiwu uncle li and mo zhus daughter? li xiwu was not back yet. mo yujin stopped the conversation and raised her wine glass. mother-in-law joy is the first variety show ive participated in in so many years since i debuted in the entertainment industry. ive been very happy for the past three days. it will definitely be very precious as a memory in the future. i wont say anything else. thank you for meeting me. cheers. everyone got up and clinked glasses.. Chapter 320 - Chapter 320: Past Scars chapter 320: past scars translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu and xue jinzhu returned to the private room one after another. li xiwu walked in front while xue jinzhu walked behind. when she pushed open the door and entered, everyone in the private room looked at her. xixi. mo yujin waved at li xiwu. come to aunt quickly. li xiwus eyebrows twitched. what happened in the short time she was gone? mo yujin waved again. come quickly. li xiwu nodded. since mo yujin had called herself her aunt in public, it seemed that mo yujin had already introduced her relationship with the mo family to everyone while she was accompanying xue jinzhu. she hesitated for less than two or three seconds before looking at pei jingzhou. seeing that he was still sitting there, she retracted her gaze and walked towards mo yujin. mo yujin took li xiwus hand. sit here. li xiwu did not refuse. okay. she guessed that someone would probably throw a conversation at her next. however, to li xiwus surprise, the first topic was thrown to her by yu hewei. yu hewei said bluntly, i just found out that matriarch mo is your biological grandmother. your mother is mo zhu, and she used to be the mayor of shen city. these words came from yu hewei. everyone couldnt help but think that she was indeed a fan. only she dared to ask that. mo yujin revealed a dissatisfied expression, but it was not that obvious. she was about to answer for li xiwu when li xiwu generously answered yu heweis question, yes, matriarch mo is my grandmother, and my mother has indeed been the mayor of shen city. after answering, li xiwu thought that yu hewei would continue to ask why she and matriarch mo looked like they didnt know each other when they first met yesterday. she wasnt sure if her aunt had explained this. shed just have to improvise. however, yu hewers next question was different from what she had expected. yu hewei asked her tentatively, is uncle li your father? li xiwu was clearly stunned. she seemed surprised. but she wasnt truly that. yu hewei continued, a friend of mine is uncle lis student. ive been lucky enough to meet uncle li a few times. his wife is madam mo zhu, who used to be the mayor of shen city. they have a daughter at this point, yu hewei looked up at li xiwu. are you uncle li and madam mo zhus daughter? at this moment, everyone was looking at li xiwu. they waited for her next answer. only xue jinzhu was confused and almost died of curiosity. is the uncle li yu hewei is talking about mr. li huaisheng? its him, tang xian answered xue jinzhu. xue jinzhu was surprised. my father admires uncle li very much. really, hey, no. why did yu hewei say that sister li is uncle li and mo zhus daughter? xue jinzhu didnt know who mo zhu was. as for li huaisheng, she had also been influenced by her father and knew about that admirable outstanding diplomatli huaisheng. tang xian told xue jinzhu, li huaisheng and madam mo zhu have a daughter. that daughter is very outstanding. she should be xiwu. xue jinzhus eyes widened. really? tang xian did not answer again. after the shock, xue jinzhu turned to look at li xiwu. after looking at each other for a moment, xue jinzhu swallowed and asked, sister li, is this true? everyone was waiting for li xiwus answer. mo yujin did not interfere. from what mom said, xiwu had already remembered a lot of the past. if xiwu was unwilling to say anything, she would find another excuse. li xiwu did not look at yu hewei. she met xue jinzhus curious gaze and replied, its true. xue jinzhus mouth fell open in shock. b-but li xiwu smiled. i know what youre trying to say. at this moment, li xiwu was very relaxed. or rather, it was very difficult to see a helpless side to her. she finished speaking unhurriedly. back then, i was lucky enough to survive that turmoil. i only injured my body and recuperated for a long time before i recovered. because my emotions were unstable, i couldnt do my previous job again, so i temporarily bade farewell to my previous job and changed to another industry. in a few short sentences, she described her encounter. there was no complaint. her tone was calm. moreover, li xiwu did not make up much. her injuries back then were not as serious as pei jingzhous, but she should be in a very bad state. pei jingzhou did not say everything about how he saved her. however, she could guess that pei jingzhou was the most injured at that time, and she was only in a terrible mental state. she had been in a daze for more than two months. the first thing pei jingzhou did when he could be discharged was visit her. in the end, he decided to help her hypnotize and lose those painful memories. after losing her memory, it was indeed impossible for her to take on her previous job. after all, she was no longer li you, but an ordinary person. everyone sighed. everyone in the country imew about the turmoil in country t back then. li huaisheng had sacrificed himself in that turmoil. everyone in the country knew about this. as for the condition of li huaishengs wife and daughter, it was not officially announced, but there were all kinds of rumors. the most common rumor was that li huaishengs family of three had died in country t. there were also rumors that after li huaisheng passed away, nothing happened to his wife and daughter. they only settled in country t and rarely returned to the country. when li xiwu said this, she thought that her emotions would not fluctuate because she had yet to completely remember this. but as these words left her mouth, she realized that her emotions were fluctuating a little. her head hurt even more than when she had gone to the bathroom. han qianyes heart ached. she hated yu hewei for asking too many questions. xue jinzhu said to li xiwu apologetically, im sorry, sister li. i didnt mean to expose your scars. i was really surprised and didnt know at all. li xiwu shook her head and smiled faintly. its all in the past. its nothing. [boohoo, my heart aches for sister li. so shes been through so much.] [uncle li is no longer around, and madam mo zhu is probably not around either. sister lis family has been destroyed] [damn! i really didnt expect li xiwu to be uncle lis daughter.] [after experiencing the great sorrow and joy of life and the ups and downs, sister li can still live well. its already the best arrangement god has for her.] [the last time she went to the li mansion to record a show, sister li must have been very sad.] [no wonder li xiwu felt uncomfortable in the afternoon after entering the li mansion that day. she couldnt live-stream anymore. although she walked out and lived a good life, she still cant let go of that place.] [how can she let it go? thats her parents. its the place shes lived since she was young.] the real situation that day was not as the netizens had guessed where li xiwu could not live-stream because she had returned to her previous residence and lost control of her emotions. however, the netizens guess was surprisingly complete about why li xiwu suddenly couldnt live-stream that day.. Chapter 321 - Chapter 321: She’s Afraid of Separation chapter 321: shes afraid of separation translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations at this moment, pei jingzhou slowly stood up and walked towards li xiwu. at first, no one specially went to look at pei jingzhou. now that he stood up, everyones gaze could not leave him. he walked to li xiwus side and said to the person in the seat beside him, please move your seat. the person in the seat beside her was yu hewei. she only smiled and stood up to make room for pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou sat down beside li xiwu. he looked at her worriedly. li xiwu could naturally tell that pei jingzhou was worried. she said softly, im fine. pei jingzhou was silent for a moment. then, he picked up the bowl in front of her and scooped a bowl of soup for her. you havent eaten much tonight. drink some soup first. ill prepare some dishes for you. li xiwu took the bowl. okay. mo yujin quickly said, everyone, eat quickly. if you dont eat now, the dishes will turn cold. only then did everyone start to eat. the atmosphere gradually returned to its previous lively state, and no one brought up the topic again. the rest of the conversation was about various industries or happy things shared by someone. everyone had a good time at dinner. after dinner, everyone began to say goodbye to each other. no matter how reluctant they were, it had to end. tao jing couldnt bear to leave li xiwu. she threw wu jiacheng aside and hugged li xiwu quietly for a while. ill come to the capital often in the future. ill come and play with you then. li xiwu smiled faintly. okay. after the hug ended, li xiwu stared at tao jings stomach and said, take care of your body. tao jing nodded. i will, you too. after hugging li xiwu, tao jing even hugged xu muzhen and xue jinzhu. after getting into the car, she waved at everyone before the car drove away. liang sheng drove the car over. xiang lan was an introvert. she said goodbye to everyone and got into the car first. xu muzhen couldnt bear to part with everyone. her eyes were red. she hugged everyone before getting into the car. tang xian was waiting for xue jinzhu in the car. those who came together naturally had to leave together. this was called finishing what you started. xue jinzhu hugged li xiwu and said some reluctant words, looking forward to seeing her again. if li xiwu wasnt very awake now, she would have believed xue jinzhus words. han qianye wanted to follow li xiwu, but when she saw pei jingzhous expression, she thought to herself, forget it. she only reminded pei jingzhou to take good care of li xiwu. in the end, li xiwu and pei jingzhou got into a car and left first. han qianye got into guan sulings car with mo yujin. yu hewei left first. no one noticed when she left. her presence on the show was talkative and was daring to ask, other than that, she had no other presence. the last live-stream shot was of the cameraman starting to wrap up. when all the guests left one after another just now, the audience could no longer hold back their emotions. now that the cameraman and the staff had begun to wrap up, the aura of parting was even stronger. [i cant bear to, but i still have to say goodbye.] [may mother-in-law joy have more views.] [in the month between autumn and winter, happiness only increased.] [other than zheng yuehua and chi xu, i like every guest in this episode, including xie wen.] [i like li xiwu the most. i was envious of her before, but later on, my heart ached for her. she really experienced a lot.] [more than 30 million viewers!] [at the last moment of the last day, its popularity reached its peak. im so happy. does this mean that mother-in-law joy can prepare for the third season next year without stopping?] [mother-in-law joy, see you next year.] its popularity had indeed exceeded 30 million. it was the highest popularity since the live-stream. the total broadcast had already exceeded 600 million. it was already very eye-catching for a variety show without any big shots to achieve such results. director gao was very reluctant. the moment the kongming lantern show arranged by the production team rose into the sky, he held the loudspeaker and shouted, the second season of mother-in-law joy has officially ended. the live-stream was filled with blessings. the camera aimed at the sky above the night sky. the kongming lanterns had already arranged the words: mother-in-law joy. it was over. season two officially ended. the chauffeur drove. the navigational route was to leave north water town. li xiwu sat in the back seat. her head was a little dizzy. actually, ever since she went to the bathroom, her head had started to hurt from time to time. when she came back and faced such a thing, her headache became even worse. she raised her hand to her forehead. pei jingzhou saw her actions and helped her up. a headache? li xiwu said truthfully, a little. pei jingzhou took off the hat on her head and pushed away the bangs on her forehead. how long have you been holding back? li xiwu closed her eyes. actually, it hurt a little in the afternoon, but it didnt affect me much. it was especially obvious at dinner. the aftereffects of hurting her head. she should rest today. she should rest well tomorrow and the day after tomorrow instead of running around with her injuries. if not for the fact that he could not dissuade her, pei jingzhou would not have agreed to let her finish the program. pei jingzhou turned on the light in the backseat. dont move. let me take a look. li xiwu looked up and let pei jingzhou see the area around the gauze. there was no redness, no sign of swelling either. with the best medicine, it wasnt a big problem. the root cause of the headache was memories churning in her mind, but she couldnt remember them all. li xiwu was in so much pain that she bit her lip tightly. fourth brother, it seems to be hurting more and more. pei jingzhou asked the chauffeur to drive faster and change the route to the hospital. then, he gently pried open li xiwus lower lip. if you bite any more, it will break. li xiwu sounded like she was crying. mm. pei jingzhou pulled her into his arms. seeing that she was in pain, he diverted her attention. tonights kongming lantern show has begun. li xiwu looked up. pei jingzhou said, look out the window. li xiwu turned to look out the window. todays kongming lantern show in north water town was booked by the production team. other than the words mother-in-law joy, the names of every group of guests were also arranged in the sky. li xiwu endured the waves of pain and said, director gao had made an effort. it was spectacular. it was a surprise for the audience. the live-stream should be very popular now. she let out a low sigh. pei jingzhou listened to her sigh and asked her, is there something you didnt tell me? li xiwu looked away and leaned back. nothing. pei jingzhou looked at her quietly. li xiwu couldnt stand his gaze because she would feel guilty. she knew that she should tell pei jingzhou, but she had her own concerns. pei jingzhou said, you li xiwu closed her eyes and frowned. this time, it was pei jingzhous turn to sigh. dont you trust me anymore? li xiwu felt a lump in her throat. she closed her eyes and answered him, its not that. pei jingzhou probed, you always say that i can read minds, but its actually just because i know you too well. i cant read your mind. so can you tell me? li xiwu opened her eyes. can you stop asking? pei jingzhou pursed his lips and looked at her quietly. he did not say anything for a long time. li xiwu felt guilty, especially when pei jingzhou looked like that.. she frowned and slowly asked, will we be separated one day? Chapter 322 - Chapter 322: Pei Jingzhou’s Love Is Favoritism chapter 322: pei jingzhous love is favoritism translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations after saying this, li xiwu was stunned for a long time. she wondered how she could say such a thing. she looked at pei jingzhou eagerly. he did not look sad that she had said that. he just looked at her quietly and guarded her without answering. li xiwus voice became hoarse as she asked him slowly, pei jingzhou, why did you like me in the past? pei jingzhou did not intend to answer. he knew shed started the conversation at random and deliberately interrupted what had just happened. however, there was some hope in her eyes. pei jingzhou did not want to see her disappointed gaze, so he answered her unhurriedly, psychologist carl rogers said that love is deep understanding and acceptance. i think that liking is the same. li xiwu lowered her eyes and carefully thought about what pei jingzhou had said. after thinking for a moment, she looked up, her almond-shaped eyes bright and clear. she looked into pei jingzhous eyes and said, so, to summarize it into the simplest word, its actually favoritism, right? pei jingzhou said, mhm. li xiwu smiled and said in a low voice, so its favoritism. pei jingzhou did not reply. just like before, he looked at her quietly. li xiwu didnt know when she fell asleep. when she woke up, she was in the hospital. there was only one nurse in the ward, and pei jingzhou was nowhere to be seen. li xiwu made a slight movement. the nurse heard it and turned to walk to the bed. after asking, the nurse heaved a sigh of relief and said, miss li, you havent recovered from your injuries. you were still running around yesterday and your body is overloaded. you should rest well. li xiwus throat was extremely dry now. she looked at the nurse and said, i want to drink water. can i trouble you for a moment? sure. the nurse first raised the back of the bed and poured li xiwu a glass of warm water. she handed it to her. its not hot. take your time. li xiwu took it and thanked her again. the nurse said, before mr. pei left, he specially instructed me to guard you here. he also boiled the water in advance. its just right for you to drink it when you wake up. hearing the nurse mention pei jingzhou, li xiwu stopped in her tracks. she looked up and asked, what about him? the nurse said, mr. pei went out, but he did say when he would be back. the nurse turned to look at the clock on the wall. mr. pei left at eight-twenty. he said hed be back in about an hour and a half. its a little past nine forty. he should be back in a few minutes. li xiwu nodded. after drinking the water, she handed the cup to the nurse. the nurse asked, miss li, are you hungry now? li xiwu shook her head. not hungry. ive had dinner. the nurse pointed to the thermos box on the table beside her. mr. pei has prepared soup. he said to ask if you wanted it when you woke up. li xiwu looked in the direction the nurse was pointing. there was indeed a thermos box on that small table. the thermos box was insulated for about three to five hours. she should be just right to drink it now. she said to the nurse, sorry to trouble you. no trouble, no trouble, the nurse said quickly. this was a hospital under the pei corporation. the nurse was overjoyed that she could stay here and watch over li xiwu when she woke up and take care of her. there was also an additional commission. when she heard li xiwu thank her non-stop, she panicked. the nurse scooped a bowl for li xiwu. miss li, its not hot anymore. the temperature is just right. take your time. thank you. li xiwu thanked her and took it. a very faint fragrance wafted from the porcelain bowl. for a moment, she couldnt tell, but when she took a sip, she knew it was white grouse soup. the taste of grouse was too faint to usually taste, but shed drunk it several times before. as soon as the taste hit her mouth, she knew it was grouse. she finished the bowl of soup clean. the nurse asked her, miss li, do you still want more? li xiwu licked the soup from her lips. give me another half a bowl. sorry to trouble you. the nurse quickly said that it was no trouble, then went to pour li xiwu half a bowl of soup. with li xiwus current appetite, one and a half bowls was just right. two bowls might be a little full. after finishing the soup, she looked for her phone. the nurse could tell what li xiwu was looking for and handed her the phone on the cabinet. miss li, your phone is here. li xiwu took the cell phone. thank you. the nurse said, miss li, if you want to go to the bathroom later, just call me. okay, li xiwu replied, then looked down at her cell phone. there were several missed calls on the page. they were from qiao qiao and ji weiling. qiao qiao called three times, and ji weiling called twice. qiao qiao must have seen the news online. ji weiling knew that she was recording a show during the day, so she probably only dared to call her after the show recording ended. in the end, she was unconscious and didnt receive ji weilings call. she called ji weiling back first. just as she had guessed, ji weiling was indeed too worried about her because of yesterdays incident. im relieved to see you on the show. i didnt dare to call you halfway, afraid that it would affect your recording and that you would hear my voice and affect your mood. at seven oclock, i called you, but you didnt pick up. i was worried.. li xiwus tone was gentle. dont worry, im fine. ji weilings voice was faintly tearful. im sorry, miss li. i caused you to be injured this time. li xiwu said, i dont want to hear this. ji weiling was silent. li xiwu took a deep breath and said slowly, that drama cant be filmed anymore. gather your thoughts and go to ying huang entertainment. when you get there, you still have a chance to make a comeback. however, the premise of all this is that youre willing to start all over again. ji weiling said firmly, i wont let you down this time. theres no need. li xiwus voice was very calm. its good for people to have goals, but dont imprison your thoughts. no one paved the way for you this time. i only pointed out another path for you. as for how to take this path, its up to you. these words were too inflammatory. therefore, after saying this, li xiwu told ji weiling that she still had something to do and hung up. ji weiling was a very simple person. she was mostly innocent and had never suffered much, nor had she experienced much reality beating. before this matter, she had never experienced any ups and downs. ever since she debuted, she had been well protected by li xiwu. however, her luck was not good, causing her to be anxious and go astray. no one had a smooth sailing life. everyone had to experience hardship before they could be reborn. xie wen and ji weiling were the same, so li xiwu believed that in the near future, xie wen and ji weiling would definitely turn the tables. after adjusting her mentality, li xiwu was ready to call qiao qiao back. just as she was about to make the call, the ward door opened. li xiwu looked up and saw that pei jingzhou was back. pei jingzhou. she seemed to have gotten used to calling his name. pei jingzhou stopped in his tracks. seeing that she had woken up, the footsteps that he had deliberately stopped turned into rapid footsteps as he walked towards her.. Chapter 323 - Chapter 323: A Kiss Is Bullying? chapter 323: a kiss is bullying? translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations after pei jingzhou came over, the first thing li xiwu asked was, where did you go? seeing that she was in a much better state, pei jingzhou replied, i got you some clothes when i get back. li xiwus gaze landed on the bag in his hand. pei jingzhou placed the bag on the cabinet beside him. auntie cant rush back, so i went back personally. if it was just a coat, pei jingzhou could order anyone. however, he had li xiwus personal clothes, so he went back personally and went to the police station. qi zishens matter was not over yet, so he would not let it go so easily. afraid of disturbing the two of them, the nurse beside her quietly left. pei jingzhou put down the bag of clothes and went to get the thermos box on the small table. when he picked it up, he realized that its weight had decreased a lot. he asked her, have you drunk it? li xiwu raised her hand and made a yay gesture. pei jingzhou said, not bad. you drank two bowls. li xiwu smiled and asked, you guessed it was two bowls at once. why didnt you say that i was acting cute? pei jingzhou put down the thermos box and walked to the bed. he leaned forward slightly. i didnt see it clearly just now. show me another cute one. li xiwu rested her chin on her hands in the shape of a sunflower. how about this? pei jingzhou couldnt help but laugh. he sat down by the bed. its very cute. li xiwu lowered her hand and looked up at him. other than cute? pei jingzhou said, other than being cute, i want to kiss you again. li xiwu bent her knees and moved forward. she reached out and wrapped her arms around pei jingzhous neck. he wrapped his arm around her lower back and tucked her in with his other hand. be careful not to catch a cold. as soon as he finished speaking, li xiwu looked up and leaned forward to kiss pei jingzhou on the corner of his lips. the smell of disinfectant on her body was very strong. she didnt want to get too much on him, so she just kissed him lightly and let go. however, in the next second, pei jingzhou grabbed the back of her head and kissed her again. the kiss was longer this time, and it was lingering. when they separated, li xiwu was panting. her cheeks were slightly rosy, and she looked a little better. pei jingzhou rubbed the tip of her nose gently. li xiwu enjoyed this moment until pei jingzhou pulled the blanket up and wrapped it around her. li xiwu smiled and said softly, the soup is delicious. pei jingzhou asked, then what soup do you want to drink tomorrow? li xiwu looked up. i thought youd say to drink this soup tomorrow too. pei jingzhou looked at her rosy cheeks and said with a deep gaze, just because its good doesnt mean that you have to drink it every day. youll get tired of it. li xiwu asked, then why arent you tired of what youre passionate about? pei jingzhou asked, despite knowing the answer, what do you mean? li xiwu fell silent and pursed her lips. pei jingzhou smiled, but his smile looked more or less indecent. its a blessing in disguise. the benefits of not being able to give birth can be considered saving money on condoms. of course, im passionate about negative distance communication. im addicted to it. i wont get tired of it for the rest of my life. addicted would never get tired of it for the rest of my life hearing this persons words, li xiwu panicked. she couldnt help but add, then if you can give birth, it means you have to buy condoms in boxes every month. pei jingzhou said seriously, something like that. li xiwu closed her eyes and thought to herself, why did i have to continue this topic? pei jingzhou must have suddenly been too unrestrained and affected her. she reminded him kindly, if youre too enthusiastic, be careful not to start feeling powerless before youre thirty. pei jingzhou looked at her without blinking. are you worried about this? li xiwu looked embarrassed. i im not worried about that. im reminding you to control yourself and take care of your health. its for your own good, understand?! there was no one else in the ward, so pei jingzhou did not hide his words at all. i thought you were worried about your future sexual happiness. li xiwu panicked. pei jingzhou, im not as enthusiastic as you. stop talking. pei jingzhou nodded seriously. alright, ill listen to my wife. ill control myself, and maintain the duration and quality. after all, i have to think about my wifes experience. li xiwu: she might as well shut up. seeing that she was in an extremely good state and was probably not sleepy for the time being, pei jingzhou stopped the topic and asked her, do you want to eat something? li xiwu was still in a daze. when she heard pei jingzhou ask her if she wanted to eat, she thought indecently, eat what? she pulled back and bent her knees to stare at him defensively. im a patient now. dont bully me. pei jingzhou raised his eyebrows. is a kiss considered bullying? li xiwu said, a kiss doesnt count, but nothing else. not now. something else? pei jingzhous tone instantly became meaningful. what do you mean? as soon as she finished speaking, li xiwus gaze landed on the belt buckle at pei jingzhous waist. sensing that the atmosphere was getting worse, li xiwu immediately looked away. pei jingzhou looked at li xiwus shy expression and couldnt help but laugh. he leaned forward and slowly approached. what are you thinking? li xiwu had already realized that she was thinking too much. it was all pei jingzhous fault for being too indecent, making her become indecent. pei jingzhou did not get an answer from her and began to pester her. honey, why is your face so red? why arent you talking to me? dont you know why im blushing? who cares about you! li xiwu thought so, but she still replied, im a little sleepy. i want to sleep. tonight, you pei jingzhou said, ill stay here with you tonight. the bed was very wide, so it was not a problem for two people to sleep on it. they had been husband and wife for so long, so li xiwu was already used to sleeping on the same bed as pei jingzhou. she pointed to the seat next to her. youll sleep on this side. pei jingzhou looked at his watch. its still early. li xiwu asked, what time is it? pei jingzhou said, its past ten. it was already ten at night. li xiwu was a person who did not like to stay up late. in the past, pei jingzhou would often stay up late to deal with some work matters. after li xiwu, other than staying up late sometimes, he slept with her most of the time. li xiwu leaned forward and asked him, you didnt eat much tonight. are you hungry now? pei jingzhou smiled. im fine. since you said that its fine, you must be hungry. li xiwu knew pei jingzhou very well. if he really wasnt hungry, he would have said that he wasnt hungry instead of saying that it was fine. she picked up her phone and clicked on the takeout software. what do you want to eat? ill order for you. pei jingzhou asked, is my wife treating? li xiwu smiled. yes, its a treat, but its going to cost you anyway. pei jingzhou turned sideways. actually, im not very hungry. li xiwu said, no way. youre not eating after spending your money? pei jingzhou looked at her. i cant digest it if i eat too late. besides, i dont have the habit of eating supper, unless li xiwu said, unless what? pei jingzhou smiled meaningfully. unless the supper is you.. Chapter 324 - Chapter 324: There’s Still a Bit of Humanity chapter 324: theres still a bit of humanity translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu leaned back and said unhurriedly, actually, im okay with it. as long as fourth brother could bear to eat it. then she smiled, a smile that was as provocative as it could be. pei jingzhous voice was calm. then i probably cant bring myself to eat it. li xiwus smile became gloating. it seems that fourth brother still has a trace of humanity. pei jingzhou raised his eyebrows. are you scolding me? li xiwu shrugged and asked, did i? pei jingzhou laughed and reached out to rub her head. if youre tired, sleep first. i still have something to deal with at work. he still had to deal with work at this time? this was a rare situation in the past, but li xiwu did not ask further. she nodded. after pei jingzhou left, li xiwu swiped through the takeout software. pei jingzhou did not like to eat in ordinary small shops, so she swiped across the screen and finally ordered the three shrimp noodles from the qingwei pavilion. pei jingzhou was about to go out and make a call when he looked back and saw li xiwu smiling and scrolling through the screen. he looked at her for a few more seconds. li xiwu sensed it in these few seconds. she looked up from the phone screen and met his gaze. i ordered you dinner. pei jingzhou was surprised. you really ordered it? yes, she answered. what did you order? he asked. li xiwu did not say that she had ordered three shrimp noodles. instead, she asked him, what do you want to eat? go ahead and order. ill eat whatever you order, he said in a faint voice. li xiwu hesitated. are you sure? pei jingzhou said, mhm. li xiwu smiled and remained silent. twenty minutes later, the takeout arrived. pei jingzhou went to open the door to take delivery. when he saw the delivery man, pei jingzhou had already guessed what li xiwu had ordered. he carried the takeout to the bed and asked her with a smile, is this the dinner you ordered for me? li xiwu held a cup of warm water that pei jingzhou had just poured for her and took small sips. when she saw pei jingzhou coming in with the bag of fried chicken takeout to ask her, she smiled in embarrassment. you said it.you can eat whatever i order. pei jingzhou did not expose her. on the surface, it was dinner for him, but in fact, it was all what she wanted to eat. however, pei jingzhou had expected this. otherwise, he wouldnt have asked li xiwu to order. he wanted to see a happy smile on her face. as long as she was happy, his mood would improve. pei jingzhou opened the box. the fried chicken was still steaming. it didnt take long to deliver this. the reason theyd waited twenty minutes was because there was a queue at the fried chicken store. this was a national chain brand, so she could eat it without worry. pei jingzhou opened the dipping box and moved the small table over to li xiwu. he wiped his hands with wet tissue and picked up a piece to try. li xiwu leaned over and asked, is it good? pei jingzhou said, not bad. do you want some? li xiwu said, you asked me to eat it. ill try a little. pei jingzhou smiled dotingly. before li xiwu could reach for the chicken wings, he stopped her hand. wipe your hands first. li xiwu smiled. i know. pei jingzhou was not very interested in fried chicken. he watched as li xiwu ate. seeing that she had eaten chicken wings, drumsticks, and several pieces of chicken, he had to remind her, eat less. it wont digest if you eat too much. you have to eat less of these fried chicken. li xiwus face was filled with satisfaction. its alright. i only took a few bites. pei jingzhou said, a few bites? are you sure? im sure. chicken wings count as one bite, drumsticks count as one bite, and chicken nuggets count as one bite. there are only a few bites in total, li xiwu said seriously. pei jingzhou smiled helplessly. there was a knock on the door. pei jingzhou wiped his hands and stood up. before he went over, he reminded li xiwu, just eat another piece. li xiwu didnt answer and continued eating. the door opened. a well-dressed man stood outside. he had an airtight delivery box slung over his shoulder. seeing that it was pei jingzhou who opened the door, the persons expression seemed to be both expected and unexpected. mr. pei, im the manager of the qingwei pavilion. im here to deliver food to you. as the address that was displayed was the vip ward in the hospital under the pei corporation, the customer who placed the order was surnamed pei, so the manager personally delivered this order. pei jingzhou opened the door and nodded before turning to enter. after the manager followed him in, he took off the delivery box on his shoulder and carefully opened it. he took out all the ingredients and side dishes inside and brought out the noodles. the rich fragrance of seafood quickly spread throughout the ward. pei jingzhou looked up at li xiwu. li xiwu pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything. the three shrimp noodles were just ordinary noodles, but the cooking method was very particular. it was also the specialty of the qingwei pavilion. she had eaten it with pei jingzhou a few times in the qingwei pavilion. the manager had already stirred the three shrimp noodles. the rich fragrance of prawns wafted through the entire ward. it had to be said that li xiwu had ordered correctly. if it were any other meal, pei jingzhou might not have much of an appetite, but if it was noodles, his appetite would be quickly awakened. the manager said, mr. pei, the three shrimp noodles you ordered are ready. pei jingzhou rolled up his sleeves and walked over. i didnt order it. the manager was clearly stunned for a moment. in a short period of time, he quickly recalled the scene of receiving the order. it seemed right?? seeing that the manager was very nervous, pei jingzhou picked up his chopsticks and picked up the three shrimp noodles. he turned around and walked to the bed. my wife ordered it for me. the manager, who had experienced three carloads of ups and downs in a few seconds, heaved a sigh of relief. pei jingzhou placed the three shrimp noodles on the small table of li xiwus bed and turned to see the manager still standing there in a daze. you can leave. the manager came back to his senses and nodded quickly. okay, okay. i wish mr. and mrs. pei a pleasant meal. then, he packed up and left the ward. li xiwu was still holding a chicken wing in her hand. she saw pei jingzhou place the three shrimp noodles in front of her. pei jingzhou blew at the noodles on his chopsticks and fed it to her. try it. li xiwu smiled. its not like i havent eaten it before. pei jingzhou said, the first bite is for you. li xiwu had an idea and did not say anything. she opened her mouth and ate the noodles pei jingzhou fed her. pei jingzhou asked her, the difference between delivering and eating there is that the noodles sent over will be a little mushy and affect the taste. li xiwu swallowed the noodles in her mouth and licked the sauce on her lips. lets eat together another day. pei jingzhou replied, okay. in the end, pei jingzhou finished the three shrimp noodles. it was quite a large portion. he finished it all. it was indeed not easy to digest so much supper at night, so pei jingzhou slept late. the next day. pei jingzhou worked in the hospital, but it did not affect li xiwus rest. he moved all the meetings and only dealt with some plans that needed his attention. li xiwu really wanted to be discharged today. however, she could not dissuade pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou had already indulged her yesterday. if she did not stay for two days, she would probably not be able to leave the hospital for the time being.. Chapter 325 - Chapter 325: Taking Care of Children chapter 325: taking care of children translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu answered xue jinzhus call. xue jinzhu tried to persuade her. sister li, when do you think its appropriate to break up with gu lanshi? i think i should dump him. this way, ill have face. li xiwu thought for a few seconds and suggested, the show has just ended. you still have some popularity now. theres no hurry to break up with gu lanshi. lets wait for mother in-law joy to finish broadcasting on wind platform. xue jinzhu snorted. that kid got away with it. he openly occupied my boyfriends position for so long. li xiwu laughed. anyway, its not real. when you officially debut, there will be plenty of cps in the future. now, you can quickly give your brother a heads-up. xue jinzhu shook her head through the phone. then lets not talk about it. im going to film kissing scenes and intimate scenes in the future. i cant finish giving him a heads-up. its better not to tell brother. li xiwu praised her. youre self-conscious. xue jinzhu chuckled. ive already sworn. dont worry, sister li. ill definitely become famous. when the time comes, the entertainment industry will be mine. li xiwu smiled and asked, are you the manager or am i? xue jinzhu raised her voice. this is called having the ambition of a swan at such a young age. yes, its good to realize the ambition of a swan, li xiwu reminded. its better to quit mahjong with such awareness. xue jinzhus voice faded. cant play it once in a while? li xiwu said, youd better quit. xue jinzhu was the kind of person who did not know how to bargain. whether she could do it or not, she would agree first. alright, ill quit playing mahjong. li xiwu knew xue jinzhus personality and did not say anything else. she only told her what xue jinzhu should do for the next period of time. li xiwu gave yuanyuan a few days off to go home and visit her mother. when she returned from the leave, she would officially be xue jinzhus assistant. xue jinzhu was very obedient. no matter what li xiwu said, she would agree obediently. even if she couldnt do it, she had to agree first. what if she did it? she would go to li xiwu to take credit when she did it. not long after she ended the call, guan suling came to the ward. it was still early, so guan suling had specially brought the sumptuous breakfast that she had instructed the kitchen to prepare at five oclock today. li xiwu saw that other than her grandmother, there was another person who came today. li xiwu was unfamiliar with that person. she remembered that it was the popular starlet in the entertainment industry, mo yan. li xiwu and mo yan did not have much interaction within and outside the industry. although she knew mo yan, mo yan might not know her. after all, no artist would pay attention to other peoples managers. darling. guan suling walked to the bed and looked at li xiwu lovingly. are you feeling better? li xiwu said, im much better. i can be discharged today. that wont do, guan suling retorted. you said yesterday that you were fine, but what happened? you scared me to death. li xiwus lips curved. ive made grandma worry. actually, i cant leave the hospital today. pei jingzhou wont let me be discharged. at the mention of pei jingzhou, guan suling snorted. if this kid agrees to let you leave the hospital, ill be the first to settle the score with him. pei jingzhou, who was suddenly cut, looked up. hed just finished replying to an e-mail. putting his computer aside, he got up and walked over. grandma. guan suling liked the way pei jingzhou called her grandma. she nodded and waved at dao xi. set up breakfast. dao xi came forward with the breakfast. li xiwu quickly said, grandma, ive already had breakfast. when she heard that they had eaten breakfast, guan suling turned to ask pei jingzhou, is the breakfast for my darling nutritious today? pei jingzhou said, i asked auntie to make it early and send it over. its nutritious. pei jingzhou answered all of guan sulings questions and was very respectful. not only because she was an elder, but also because she was li xiwus grandmother. guan suling said, i was afraid that you guys would make do with breakfast. i specially asked the kitchen to prepare it last night, but its fine. you just ate breakfast. then you can eat it after you rest. li xiwu replied, okay. mo yan, who had not spoken since she came in, carefully called out, grandma. guan suling glanced sideways at mo yan. mo yan stepped forward and first smiled at li xiwu. then, she asked guan suling, grandma, is she little you? guan suling nodded. yes. mo yans face lit up. when she looked at li xiwu again, her smile was bright. little you, youre really back. with that, mo yan was about to step forward, looking like she was going to hug li xiwu. li xiwu had no memories of mo yan. she only had a few memories of meeting her in the entertainment industry. seeing that mo yan, whom she had met for the first time, wanted to hug her enthusiastically, li xiwus body suddenly stiffened. however, the next second guan suling grabbed mo yans arm. dont scare my darling. mo yan was grabbed and turned around. ill just hug her for a while. guan sulings expression was serious. the way she looked at others was completely different from the love she had when she looked at li xiwu. she doesnt remember you now. your enthusiasm will only scare her. mo yan nodded gloomily and turned to look at li xiwu. she beamed and said, other than in the past, ive seen you once before. moreover, i had a deep impression of you because very few managers are as beautiful as you. youre even more beautiful than the artists under you. i noticed you at the award ceremony. at that time, i thought you looked familiar, but i didnt expect you to be little you. youve changed so much. mo yan still did not know that li xiwu had done a facial repair. after a pause, mo yan added the most important thing. the smile ive seen on grandmas face these past two days is much more than in the past four years. its because youre back. grandma is happy. li xiwu was moved. mo yan was very enthusiastic. if not for guan suling, mo yan would have started talking the moment she came in. li xiwu needed to get used to mo yans enthusiasm. at this moment, guan suling turned to mo yan and said, go sit there and play by yourself. dont disturb my darling. mo yans face fell. grandma, youre worried that ill scare little you. ive been paying attention. now, youre worried that ill disturb little you. i wont. i know my limits. guan suling hit the nail on the head. its not a matter of knowing your limits. its just that your little mouth is too good at talking. mo yan was speechless. li xiwu smiled. she wont disturb me since im not resting now. mo yan beamed. right?!! since li xiwu had spoken, guan suling naturally would not care anymore and let mo yan get close to li xiwu. guan suling went to the side and sat down to talk to pei jingzhou about qi zishen. mo yan was indeed a chatterbox. in front of li xiwu, she talked about everything. she did not have the image of a cold flower on the screen at all. they immediately became familiar with each other, but only mo yan became familiar with her. to mo yan, she had always felt that li you was a knot in grandmas heart. she was also always worried that grandma would not be able to enjoy her later years because of this knot in her heart. the entire mo family was also very worried. now that li you was back, the knot in grandmas heart had been resolved. other than grandma, everyone in the mo family was the happiest. mo yan was the same. the two of them chatted a lot. the topics they dabbled in were all matters in the entertainment industry. because li xiwu was a manager, she had her own specialties. mo yan told li xiwu about her troubles of hesitating whether to take on a script or a variety show recently and asked her to help her make a decision. when li xiwu heard this, she asked, youre saying that nanjia is preparing to produce a parent-child variety show and has already extended an invitation to you before they even recruited any sponsors? mo yan nodded. im a little hesitant. ive participated in many variety shows, but ive never participated in a parent-child variety show. im afraid that i wont be patient with children and my character will fail. with that, before li xiwu could answer, mo yan asked, do you know how to take care of children? Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: She Had Everything, But Li Xiwu Had Lost So Much… chapter 326: she had everything, but li xiwu had lost so much translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations mo yans words made li xiwu momentarily speechless. she could have just replied, i dont know how to take care of children. but this sentence hung on her lips for a long time because the image of yaoyao appeared in her mind. she misses that little pitiful person very much. she couldnt wait to see him. if not for the fact that she had to be monitored by pei jingzhou for two days, she would have already taken a flight to country t. as for agreeing to han qianyes trip to the arctic, she would probably have to postpone it because she did not want to delay her trip to country t. she had to figure everything out as soon as possible. mo yan did not hear li xiwus answer for a long time. just as she was about to urge her, guan suling stood up and walked to mo yans side. she said to mo yan, your mouth is really good at talking. mo yan smiled foolishly. grandma, i was just asking. thats not what youre asking. guan sulings tone was a little serious. although my darling is married, she hasnt had any plans to have a child in the past two years. shes not even drepared to have a child, so where did she get the experience of raising a child? you should have thought before you speak. mo yan did not dare to say anything after being scolded by guan suling. it was normal for an elder to lecture a junior, but because of her, li xiwu had no choice but to mention it. grandma, mo yan and i are talking about scripts and variety shows. she wanted me to give pertinent suggestions, so we happened to come to this topic. she was just asking. when guan suling heard this, she nodded and said to mo yan, dont give your cousin a problem. mo yans heart ached. got it, grandma. the words youre really biased were on mo yans lips. she did not dare to say it out loud, afraid that she would make grandma unhappy and the atmosphere would become very stiff. actually, the reason why mo yan felt sad was that guan suling usually had the same expression to most people. she was serious, rigid, and unapproachable. anyone who saw her would think that guan sulings personality was like this. however, guan suling was completely different from li xiwu. when she saw li xiwu, she was always kind and amiable, treasuring her and doting on her. however, mo yan only felt sad for a few seconds. it was not to the extent of envy, because she knew that there was no need. she had everything, and li xiwu had already lost so much.. at least grandma was smiling more and more every day. it was the best thing for her. cousin. mo yan adapted to calling li xiwu cousin. grandma said just now that you and your husband wont have children in the next few years. is that true? li xiwu smiled faintly. thats hard to say. mo yan grinned. hard to say? does that mean youll have children at any time? li xiwu didnt say yes or no, but her unspoken expression said it all. actually, the process of giving birth is quite hard. as mo yan spoke, she raised her hand and scratched her head with a frustrated expression. not to mention having a child, its like taking care of a child will cost me my life. besides, i dont even have a boyfriend and was invited to participate in this parent-child variety show. i rejected it at first, but my manager said that this show is very good and has a chance of becoming as popular as mother-in-law joy. mother-in-law joys success made many capitalists target this live-stream method. therefore, they wanted to continue replicating mother-in-law joys success. li xiwu said to mo yan, youre on the rise now. the variety show can indeed bring you a lot of exposure, but dont ask your manager to plan it for you. if you really think you can go on it, then go on it. in addition, you have to remember that youre an artist. your goal is different from me participating in the show as a commoner. i suggest you get your manager to ask in advance who else the production team will invite. if the other party is more famous than you, i suggest you dont accept it, lest you become a foil. mo yan was enlightened. thats right. if the production team invites a guest who is more popular and more famous than me, ill really become a foil. im a very important artist in the rising period. i cant be suppressed. li xiwu nodded. yes. li xiwus words really reminded mo yan. mo yan was very happy. she praised li xiwu a few times and mocked her manager. youre both managers, my manager is more experienced than you. but shes not even as detailed and considerate as you. li xiwu couldnt take the praise. a bystander can see better. if my artist encountered your current situation, i wouldnt have a clue for a while. its easier to think about it when it didnt happen beside me. mo yan snorted. cousin, youre too humble. li xiwu smiled. actually, she wasnt too humble. it was indeed just a bystanders perspective. but in the end, it was not li xiwus call whether mo yan will continue to film dramas or variety shows. now, mo yan was asking for li xiwus opinion. however, she wanted li xiwu to help her make a decision. in the end, mo yan was the one who made the decision. she was no longer a newcomer. her popularity and status now gave her a certain right to speak. her manager would not interfere with her decisions. at this moment, mo yan looked at li xiwu hopefully, waiting for her opinion. li xiwu even mentioned it. referring to the previous parent-child variety show, the discussion and popularity after the broadcast are very high. however, if the core of this parent-child variety show is similar to the previous parent-child variety show, you have to consider it carefully. i remember that all the dramas and variety shows produced by nanjia have a good reputation. this time, if they innovate and let the parent-child variety show sublimate the core again, as long as there are no guests more famous than you, you can accept it. okay, ill listen to you. mo yan wouldnt really listen to advice, but if it was someone she trusted, she would listen. li xiwu nodded. its just a suggestion. its up to you to decide if you want to participate in the end. besides, with your current status, you have to consider it carefully. mo yan nodded. ill talk to my manager when i get back. mo yan was in a good mood. she looked straight at li xiwu and said, i didnt expect you to be so outstanding in the ministry of foreign affairs back then and so powerful as a manager. if only i had recognized you earlier, but youve changed so much. although li xiwu was also in her teens when she followed her parents overseas, she still had baby fat on her face at that time, and her personality was different from now. in addition, li xiwus face had been injured during the turmoil in country t and her appearance had been repaired. this way, it would be even more difficult to recognize her as the previous li you. li xiwu was not familiar with mo yan yet, so she did not tell her that she had done facial repair. guan suling did not let mo yan chat with li xiwu for too long. afraid that mo yans chattering would annoy li xiwu, she stopped mo yan at the right time. soon, the entire ward fell silent. it was almost noon when guan suling booked a private room in qionglou restaurant. the group went over for lunch. they would return to the hospital after dinner. in the afternoon, mo yan was in a hurry to dub for her new drama, so she did not follow her back to the hospital. her manager drove her away. li xiwu should meet gu lanshi in the afternoon as agreed. but it was clearly impossible to go. not only would she not go, but she also would not send gu lanshi a message or call. she wanted to pretend that she did not know anything and wait until she was discharged. since gu lanshi had plans to see her alone, he would definitely wait.. Chapter 327 - Chapter 327: Alone in a Room chapter 327: alone in a room translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the afternoon was very long. li xiwu was too free and even bored out of her mind, so she went to browse the recent upcoming dramas to see if there were any suitable roles for xue jinzhu. from the looks of it, there were many roles suitable for xue jinzhu, but xue jinzhu had no acting experience. she was a pure newcomer. it was easy to talk about the role, but it was too difficult to act well. she was afraid that in the end, she would act badly and fall into the reputation of having poor acting skills. it would take a long time to correct her. and the only way to change this situation was not to play an important role as soon as she debuted. she had to start with the supporting roles step by step and let the audience adapt better. at the thought of this, she typed another wechat message to xue jinzhu: [take your acting class well. dont slack off.] after sending the message, she saw pei jingzhou coming over. li xiwu quickly put down her phone and pretended that nothing had happened, so that pei jingzhou wouldnt have anything to say about her. however, when pei jingzhou approached, the phone she had put down began to vibrate. there was a call. she reached for it. pei jingzhou, who was walking over, was faster than her. he picked up her hand. li xiwu did not move or try to snatch it back. she only asked, who called? pei jingzhou looked at the caller id on the screen. her surname is qiao. qiao qiao was just qiao qiao. why did he have to say her surname was qiao! li xiwu reached out her hand. qiao qiao should be free now. fourth brother, give me the phone. pei jingzhou smiled faintly. if theres nothing, its pei jingzhou. if theres anything, its fourth brother. youre really clear-headed. li xiwu: after getting the cell phone, li xiwu quickly picked up qiao qiaos call. pei jingzhou was never interested in what the two of them were talking about. for some reason, he had to sit beside her and listen to her answer the phone today. li xiwu pushed him imperceptibly. he sat still. li xiwu pushed again, but he still did not move, as if he was frozen. li xiwu looked at her sideways. pei jingzhou said calmly, i wont disturb you, just pick up the call. qiao qiaos noisy voice came from the phone. bae! why did you take so long to answer the phone? ive been worried that something had happened to you. hurry up and squeak for me to see if youre still alive. li xiwu couldnt help but laugh. normal people wont ask such a thing. qiao qiao reacted quickly this time. who are you calling not normal?! li xiwu glanced sideways at pei jingzhou. he looked like he was thinking about something and was staring intently in one direction. it was unknown if he was really listening to her conversation with qiao qiao. li xiwu changed her grip on her cell phone. didnt i send you a wechat message last night? im fine. dont worry. how can i not be worried?!! qiao qiaos tone was anxious. ive been paying attention to your online developments in xingzhou, but i really didnt expect my best friend to be so influential. youre hiding even deeper than the mariana trench! li xiwu said, youre exaggerating. qiao qiao snorted. its not an exaggeration, not an exaggeration at all. but i know that there are many things you cant explain over the phone. as for me, i cant return to the country for the time being. ive just registered my marriage. i havent accepted the fact that i got married early. if qiao qiao hadnt mentioned this, li xiwu would have almost forgotten that qiao qiao was going to marry qiao jingmo oh, no, shao jingmo. li xiwu asked, did shao jingmo keep a close eye on you? qiao qiao said smugly, he cant keep an eye on me. its my freedom to go wherever i want. excluding the reason for shao jingmo, it should be li xiwu asked softly, is your grandfathers health okay? on the other end of the line, qiao qiao fell silent. li xiwu knew that she had guessed correctly. qiaoer was worried about her grandfather, so she couldnt come to the capital for the time being. qiao qiaos voice was no longer as light and lively as before. it had become low and muffled. grandpas health is very bad, and its getting worse every day. i married shao jingmo because i was afraid that grandpa would have regrets. otherwise, i wouldnt have agreed to marry shao jingmo. there was also a hint of grievance hidden in this muffled tone. qiao qiao did feel an indescribable grievance in her heart when she married someone she didnt like because of her grandfathers last hope. li xiwu understood qiao qiaos grievance. is shao jingmo good to you? of course hes good to me now. how dare he not treat me well? qiao qiao returned to her previous tone, afraid that li xiwu would worry too much about her. grandpa is still here. its impossible for shao jingmo to treat me badly. besides, after we get married, we have to act out our love for each other for grandpa. at this point, qiao qiao added, i have to say, shao jingmos acting skills are not bad. he portrayed the side of a good husband to the fullest. grandpa is extremely satisfied. li xiwu smiled. what if he didnt act? li xiwu really said this casually. after all, shao jingmos thoughts could not be known. impossible, impossible. hes just good at acting. qiao qiao was very sure. hes already completely in control of the qiao familys business. he can do anything he wants. hes extremely terrifying. marrying me is just a repayment for grandpas nurturing. if grandpa is gone one day, my hard days might come too qiao qiao wasnt a pessimist. however, ever since she was afraid of shao jingmo, she had slowly become a pessimist. as long as it was related to shao jingmo, she would subconsciously think in a pessimistic way. li xiwu could not comfort her in this situation. she only reminded qiao qiao to take good care of herself in xingzhou and chatted about something else before hanging up. on xingzhous side. qiao qiao was in a much better mood after ending the call with li xiwu. sure enough, there was no bad mood that good sisters couldnt fill. she looked at the computer screen in front of her and reached for the cup of coffee by her hand. unexpectedly, her prediction direction failed and she took the wrong spot. before she knew it, the cup of coffee had been spilled. the direction of the spill was the laptop. the coffee that flowed out quickly rushed to the computer. qiao qiao: its over! this was shao jingmos laptop!!! she was stunned for a few seconds and quickly wiped it with a tissue. however, the coffee went into the power source and the computer was suddenly switched off. qiao qiao looked at the coffee-soaked laptop in front of her and sighed deeply. knock knock knock C it was obvious that shao jingmo was knocking on the door. qiao qiaos hair stood on end. this was the laptop she had secretly carried up after shao jingmo left. moreover, this was shao jingmos personal laptop. she wanted to check if there was anything harmful to the qiao family on shao jingmos computer. she also wanted to see how much shao jingmo planned to expand his business after inheriting the qiao family. to put it bluntly, she wanted to know if shao jingmo had done anything to let the qiao family down in the past few years. before she could see anything, his computer was destroyed by her cup of hot coffee. knock knock knock C the knock on the door was like the king of hells death. qiao qiao closed her eyes hard and thought to herself that she would be stabbed either way. so be it. who asked her to steal his computer and destroy it? she would be scolded and swallow her anger later. she braced herself to answer the door. as expected, shao jingmo stood outside the door. he didnt seem to be looking for her. instead, he was looking for his laptop. wheres the computer? he asked directly. qiao qiao pointed in a direction inside the house. shao jingmo was about to go in when qiao qiao stopped him. wait, wait. shao jingmo stopped in his tracks and looked at her sideways. qiao qiao stammered, i was bored and wanted to watch a drama. in the end, i accidentally spilled hot coffee on your computer. with that, she braced herself for the scolding. however, before shao jingmo could scold her, shao jingmo grabbed her wrist and raised it. he looked at it carefully and put it down before raising his other hand. stunned, qiao qiao let him examine her hands. after checking, shao jingmo asked her, did you burn anywhere else? qiao qiao asked, burn? burn? shao jingmo said, didnt you say hot coffee? oh, its not very hot. i didnt burn myself. i just destroyed your computer. she didnt dare be arrogant when she was in the wrong. unexpectedly, not only did shao jingmo not blame her, but he also did not get angry. he only said, if its destroyed, so be it. qiao qiao looked at him in surprise. arent you angry? shao jingmo said, if im angry, will the computer immediately become better? qiao qiao shook her head. shao jingmo turned around and prepared to leave. qiao qiao was still in disbelief. shao jingmo was actually so easy to talk to. that was his personal computer. her behavior of stealing was enough to make him angry. she even destroyed his computer. in the end, he only replied casually: if its destroyed, so be it. while she was confused and dumbfounded, shao jingmo returned and reminded her, there are a few documents in the computer that arent backed up. im very busy. come to my study when you have time later. copy the documents again and back up them on another computer. after saying that, he saw that qiao qiao didnt react. shao jingmo called out to her, qiao guigui. qiao qiao suddenly came back to her senses. huh? ah what? shao jingmo reached out and tapped her forehead with his fingertip. you broke it. you have to fix it for me yourself. theres no need to wait for you to make time. come to the study with me now. qiao qiao asked, just the two of us? shao jingmo asked, how many people do you want? qiao qiao shook her head. nothing. shao jingmo said, come with me. qiao qiao pouted. oh. were going to be alone again! aye! Chapter 328 - Chapter 328: Let Love Grow Madly chapter 328: let love grow madly translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations qiao qiao didnt like to be alone with shao jingmo. in the past, she was afraid of shao jingmo, but later on, she was afraid of embarrassment because she had forcefully kissed shao jingmo! she felt that it would be difficult for her to forget the scene of sitting on shao jingmos lap and taking the initiative to hug and kiss him in recent years. although it was only that once, every time she was alone with shao jingmo, she would think of the stupidity she had made. fortunately, shao jingmo did not restrain her after they got married. he would not sleep in the same room as her, nor did he cross the line. she was quite at ease. in the study. shao jingmo stood in front of the bookcase and rummaged through the books. he pulled out two books and flipped through them before putting them back. qiao qiao followed him in with his laptop. there was no joy on her face. she looked up and saw shao jingmo standing in front of the bookcase. originally, the light in the study was a little dim, but as he stood there, the light that could enter from the window covered him in a soft light. it was a little unreal. she didnt know if she was stunned or stupefied, or if she was looking at his figure and thinking about something else. in short, she was a little silly now. shao jingmo found the books he needed in the bookcase. when he turned around, he saw qiao qiao standing motionless at the door. he slowly said, why arent you coming in? qiao qiao came back to her senses when she heard shao jingmos voice. she pursed her lips and said, oh, gently. then she came in as fast as a turtle. the duration it took for her to walk was the duration shao jingmo waited for her. in the end, she felt bad about it. she wondered why this person was so stubborn and insisted on waiting for her. in the end, she returned to her normal pace. when she stood in front of shao jingmo, she silently lowered her head. shao jingmo said, im not a teacher or your superior. raise your head. qiao qiao snorted inwardly and looked up at him obediently. shao jingmos expression was so serious that it made qiao qiao feel apprehensive. however, she tried her best to maintain her composure and tell herself not to be afraid. if she was too afraid and shao jingmo saw through her, he might treat her badly in the future. she didnt control her expression as she thought this. it looked a little comical. shao jingmo took in the vivid expression on her face. what are you laughing at? qiao qiaos lips twitched. nothing. shao jingmo looked calm and composed. you seem to be in a good mood. do you feel a sense of accomplishment because you destroyed my laptop? qiao qiao felt guilty and said nice things, no, i feel very guilty. i feel especially sorry for you. shao jingmo asked again, then why are you laughing? he had to care even if she laughed?! qiao qiao carefully sized up shao jingmos expression. it was as serious as before. there was no expression on his face, and he was not high up in the air. he just looked like he was not to be trifled with. she lowered her voice and said, ive thought of something happy. theres probably no need to report this to you, right? shao jingmo retracted his gaze and took the book he had just taken off the bookcase. he turned around and went behind his desk. theres no need to report. im just asking. youre too shocked. qiao qiao: the atmosphere between the two of them had never been very harmonious. there was no tense atmosphere. it was just that their magnetic fields were not quite compatible, like opposite magnetic fields? it was normal to be negative. it would be terrifying if the magnetic fields sucked each other. but this day would never come. not to mention that she would not like shao jingmo, but shao jingmo should not be interested in a shriveled little girl like her. shao jingmo definitely didnt lack women around him. at his age, it was impossible for him to be a monk alone. he must have some fixed lovers outside. as for how many he had and what they looked like, qiao qiao didnt care and wouldnt ask. that was shao jingmos own business and had nothing to do with her. just as she did not want shao jingmo to come and ask about her personal space, she would not care about shao jingmos personal space. this was a harmonious husband-and-wife relationship. qiao qiao was happy and relaxed because of her rational thoughts. at least she didnt have to suffer from love and the misfortune of her marriage. her marriage to shao jingmo was only in name. during this period, she just had to behave and save her life. at this moment, qiao qiao was making all kinds of guesses in her mind. shao jingmos voice interrupted her immersive state. theres another laptop over there. remove the back cover of the laptop in your hand and take out the hard drive. connect the usb to another computer and copy the data. if you dont know, ask me again. oh. qiao qiao listened carefully. but shed never operated it, which meant she had no experience dismantling laptops. it sounded simple to shao jingmo, but it must be very troublesome to do, right? after she answered, she looked worried. cant we get someone to fix the laptop? perhaps it can be turned on after some repair? what if i spoil it after i dismantle it? shao jingmo looked up at her. his dark and deep eyes fixed on her with an inexplicable suction force. qiao qiao looked away unnaturally and said weakly, ive never dismantle the hard drive of a laptop. besides, there are important documents in your laptop. im afraid that if i dismantle them for you, there wont even be a way to remedy it. it wont, shao jingmo said. qiao qiao said, huh? did he trust her so much? shao jingmo looked at her from the shadow of the lamp. you can fix it. qiao qiao bit her lip and remained silent. he trusted her too much! she didnt even trust herself. shao jingmo retracted his gaze and continued to focus on what he was doing. at the same time, he did not forget to remind her, the tools are in the drawer of the coffee table. search through them. ask me if theres nothing else. qiao qiao answered obediently, got it. she carried the laptop towards the sofa. the entire study was decorated in a classical style, which was quite in line with shao jingmos temperament as a conservative noble young master. the coffee table and sofa were made of wood, and there was a set of arhat tea sets in the middle. she placed the laptop by the coffee table and squatted down. following shao jingmos reminder, she opened the drawer and found a small toolbox. then, she started to get used to it. although she hadnt done it before and didnt know how, she knew to search for the tutorial on her phone. when she looked for her cell phone, she realized that she had not brought it. qiao qiao said, god! she got up and eagerly walked to the door, preparing to go back and get her cell phone. anyway, she wasnt in a hurry to do this. she could take her time. before she reached the door, shao jingmo stopped her. where are you going? qiao qiao turned around and saw that shao jingmo didnt look up. he was still flipping through the book in his hand. she replied, i want to use my phone to check the tutorial for dismantling hard drives, but i didnt bring my phone. ill go get my cell phone now. shao jingmo still did not look up. he pointed at the phone beside his hand. you can use mine. qiao qiao knew that he wasnt looking at her, but she couldnt help but shake her head. it wont take me long to go down. ill be back soon. dont worry, i wont slip away. im still responsible. with that, she continued walking, her hand almost on the doorknob. shao jingmo slowly looked up at qiao qiao. qiao guigui, theres no need to be so clear between us.. Chapter 329 - Chapter 329: Privilege of a Legal Couple chapter 329: privilege of a legal couple translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations qiao qiaos hand, which had yet to land on the doorknob, froze. she turned to shao jingmo and gave a blank reaction. what do you mean? shao jingmo pursed his thin lips and stood in a straight line. he looked at qiao qiao in silence for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, efficiency. qiao qiao almost misunderstood. when she heard efficiency, she understood again. she pouted and said, if were talking about efficiency, you can just get the laptop repairman to fix it. isnt it more efficient? why do you have to let me do it? its not like you dont know me. ill dawdle, and youll be anxious. shao jingmo chuckled. so you know that youre dawdling. qiao qiao choked. i shao jingmo said, then correct your bad habit and increase your efficiency. qiao qiao pouted. youve already taken over the family business. i dont have to inherit it. im all alone. why should i be efficient? shao jingmo looked at her with his deep eyes. are you planning to discuss this with me? do you know that youve been delaying it for a long time? although i didnt say that the laptop is urgent, you have to be self-conscious. do i need to remind you about this? qiao qiao: her throat closed up. she mouthed the word mean silently! seeing that shao jingmo seemed to understand her mouthed words, she immediately shut her mouth and walked towards him. standing in front of his desk, qiao qiao reached out and picked up the phone on the table. okay, ill just use yours. but dont worry, i wont check any other information on your cell phone. i still have this morality. ill return it to you when im done. she took the phone and turned back to the coffee table. shao jingmos faint voice came from behind. the password is 12260426. qiao qiao nodded and continued walking. as she walked, she stopped and turned to ask shao jingmo, is 1226 my birthday? shao jingmo replied without changing his expression, were already legally married. my birthday and your birthday combination password will make it easier for you to check my cell phone. this is also your privilege. no, no, no. theres no need for such privileges. qiao qiao heard that and quickly explained, im not checking your cell phone either. shao jingmo looked up at her with dark eyes. qiao qiao continued to explain, i really wont check your cell phone. its not just your cell phone. i wont ask about who you work outside, who you meet, who you eat with, or who you stay out all night. dont worry. youre very free when we get married. i definitely wont care about you. shao jingmo also frowned. qiao qiao noticed shao jingmos frown and thought that she had said too much and annoyed him. on second thought, there was indeed no need to make such things so clear. she just needed to do it. she laughed dryly. then ill go over and dismantle the hard drive. shao jingmo nodded and did not say anything else. qiao qiao sat down on the sofa. the sofa was a little too high, so she sat cross-legged on the carpet. the carpet used on the floor of the study was a thin sound-absorbing carpet. it wouldnt be very thick. it might not be as comfortable to sit on it. if you sat on it for too long, it might even hurt your butt. however, qiao qiao couldnt care less now. she had to quickly dismantle the hard drive and connect it to another laptop. after doing this, she would go out for a walk. when she was in the same space as shao jingmo, she had to be careful with her breathing. she picked up the phone and entered the password according to shao jingmos instructions. after she entered it, she realized that her and shao jingmos birthdays were on the 26th. she silently recalled the horoscope time and muttered to herself, this person is actually a taurus and she was capricorn. she raised her hand to her chin and suddenly remembered that the horoscope book seemed to say that the taurus was the best match for capricorn. moreover, they were called a combination with full marks!! qiao qiao frowned and thought for a few seconds before muttering to herself, the horoscope isnt that accurate. next she began to search for tutorial videos on dismantling hard drives. she was very honest and did not look for the other information in shao jingmos hand. she only planned to return the phone to him after watching the tutorial on dismantling hard drives. after watching it, qiao qiao found it quite simple, so she began to do it herself. she was efficient and didnt make much of a mistake. she successfully removed the hard drive and connected it to another laptop with a usb. she really copied the data over. she carried the laptop over to look for shao jingmo. hey, hey. ive copied the data over. where do i save it? shao jingmo laughed angrily. hey? qiao qiao changed her form of address. shao jingmo. shao jingmos eyes were cold as he gestured for her to turn the laptop screen around for him to see. she did as she was told. shao jingmo pointed at a spot on the screen. put it here. qiao qiao saw the folder he was pointing at and nodded. got it. ill get it done right away and come over to you. she carried the laptop back to the other side and sat down to continue fiddling. when it was completely done, she carried the laptop over and placed it in front of him. here, shao jingmo, im done. i did everything according to your shao jingmo read it briefly and said, one less document. qiao qiaos eyes widened. no way? whats missing? shao jingmo raised his hand. come here. qiao qiao didnt suspect anything. she leaned down and approached shao jingmos side. the distance between the two of them was extremely close. qiao qiao moved the tip of her nose and could vaguely smell the faint fragrance of cedar. she knew that it was the cedar fragrance on shao jingmo. she hadnt noticed before, but now that she was close, she could smell it. and it smelled surprisingly good. her lips curved, but she didnt know that shao jingmo had seen all these small details. his adams apple bobbed slightly as he moved a little to the other side, putting some distance between them to clear his head. qiao qiao noticed that he was moving over subtly. her curved lips slowly straightened, and her mouth pouted with some emotion. why are you hiding? im not taking advantage of you! these words were spoken in her heart. shao jingmo pointed at the data in the folder. go and verify it. theres still one missing in the middle. move it over. qiao qiao immediately misheard. her body reacted faster than her thoughts and leaned towards shao jingmo. move over = lean over. when she leaned over, her shoulder unexpectedly pressed against shao jingmos. the heater was on in the house. she was dressed thinly and her collar wasnt high. although she couldnt see everything, she could see the deep cleavage in her chest. qiao qiaos face heated up. she clutched her chest and stood up. you did it on purpose, didnt you? shao jingmo raised his eyebrows in confusion. on purpose? qiao qiao opened her mouth again and stuttered. you, you were the one who asked me to lean over. my-my collar is so low, you lecherous hooligan. shao jingmo: the atmosphere was silent for more than ten seconds before shao jingmo smiled. it was an expression of laughter from anger. shao jingmo looked up at her. i asked you to copy the data over. what are you thinking? qiao qiao: q shao jingmo said, also, its legal for me to look at you everywhere. after all, were married. it doesnt seem appropriate to use words like lecherous hooligan. qiao qiao snorted. sorry. bad choice of words. shao jingmo replied seriously, be careful next time. qiao qiao picked up the laptop on the table. got it. ill copy it back to you immediately. naggy. shao jingmo smiled dotingly. go ahead.. Chapter 330 - Chapter 330: Her Heart Ripples chapter 330: her heart ripples translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations after qiao qiao left, shao jingmo closed his eyes, his mind filled with the images he had just seen. he wanted to expel these images from his mind, but he couldnt get them out no matter what. he became visibly frustrated. his cigarette addiction kicked in. the pack was in the drawer. he pulled open the drawer and reached inside. he paused for a few seconds when he touched the cigarette box, but he still didnt take it out. he closed the drawer angrily with a bang. qiao qiao was focused on exporting the data. when she heard this voice, her small body trembled visibly. she took a moment to turn to look at him. cant you be gentle? shao jingmo replied indifferently, mm. five minutes later. qiao qiao did as shao jingmo said and copied another set of data. she even specially checked to make sure there were no mistakes before carrying the laptop over. placing it in front of him, she said, done. shao jingmo nodded. this time, he didnt even look at it. he said to her, you can leave. qiao qiao heaved a sigh of relief. the expression on her face relaxed visibly. you havent seen it yet. then im leaving. if you call me later, i wont hear you. shao jingmo said, bring my cell phone over. oh, right. how could i have forgotten about your cell phone? qiao qiao returned to the coffee table and took shao jingmos phone. she placed it in front of him. i didnt open any other software. dont worry, im not that kind of person. shao jingmo smiled faintly. what kind of person? qiao qiao said, someone who is bored. as soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the study door. qiao qiao and shao jingmo looked at the door at the same time. it was the qiao familys servant. she stood respectfully outside the door and said to the two people in the study, third master, young miss, master has booked a table for you in helou tonight. qiao qiaos eyes widened. helou? is grandpa inviting someone to a banquet tonight? the servant suspected that the young lady had chosen to ignore what she had said, so she repeated, master reserved a seat for you and third master. hearing this, qiao qiao waved her hand coldly and said, i dont want to go out to eat. the servant was in a difficult position. this is masters idea. the seats have been booked. at six oclock tonight, miss, remember to dress up properly. master said that this is a post-wedding date for you. qiao qiao snorted in dissatisfaction. im already married. why are we still dating? its boring. the servant looked embarrassed. it was not appropriate to continue the conversation and she silently left. the door of the study was carefully closed by the servant. qiao qiao turned to look at shao jingmo. why didnt you show your attitude just now? shao jingmo asked, say what? qiao qiao said, say that you have another appointment, so youre not going. shao jingmo said truthfully, i dont have an appointment. qiao qiao explained gloomily, i mean avoid it and ruin it. neither of us will go. why not? grandpa booked a restaurant. if you and i dont go, can you bear to see him disappointed? shao jingmo asked fatally. qiao qiao instantly lost her temper and said in a muffled voice, go, go, go. ill go. shao jingmo said, you seemed a little forced? qiao qiao said, no. shao jingmo nodded and said in a gentle and doting voice, go play. qiao qiao turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly turned around and corrected shao jingmos last sentence. go play. this sentence is for children. shao jingmo couldnt help but laugh. so? qiao qiao looked serious. so im not a child anymore. im twenty-four this year. shao jingmo repeated the number. twenty-four years old. youre indeed not a child anymore. qiao guigui, youve grown up. qiao qiao grinned. whether she was happy or not depended on what the other party said. she turned around and strolled out the door. there wasnt much time left in the afternoon. qiao qiao had planned to go out and meet her old friend after coming out of the study. she had been staying at home for the past few days and was so bored that grass was almost growing on her head. however, it was almost five oclock when she came out of shao jingmos study. to her surprise, she realized that she had been in the study with shao jingmo for more than two hours. it was long and undetectable. it was quite strange. she didnt want her grandfather to look too disappointed in her, especially since his condition had worsened recently. with a lot on her mind, she changed into a beautiful set of clothes and even had her hair styled. when she looked in the mirror, she realized that the person in the mirror had changed a lot. qiao qiao knew that she was not bad-looking. her facial features were considered superior. after deliberately and seriously dressing up, she was so beautiful that she couldnt believe that the person in the mirror was herself! by five-thirty, old master qiao sat in his wheelchair and watched qiao qiao and shao jingmo leave together. during this time, he did not forget to remind them, you can come back later or not come back at all. there was a hidden meaning in those words. qiao qiao thought that her grandfather was trying his best to matchmake her and shao jingmos relationship. to be honest, this was very difficult, but it was not difficult to act. it was just that there would be a little psychological burden, because the side her grandfather wanted to see was actually her acting. it was fake. feeling guilty, qiao qiao got into the car. shao jingmo, who was sitting beside her, was dressed in a formal suit. with his superior facial features and engraved face, he was so handsome that he didnt seem real. qiao qiao had noticed when she came out just now that shao jingmo was really handsome. with this face, he could kill anyone alone! she praised him politely, shao jingmo, youre so handsome tonight. shao jingmos lips curled up. youre beautiful too, mrs. shao. qiao qiao asked, why isnt it mrs. qiao? shao jingmos tone was calm. i already said on the day we registered our marriage that my surname isnt registered in the qiao family, so my surname is still shao. we werent married before, but now that were married, we naturally have to distinguish our relationship. qiao qiao pursed her lips. mrs. shao, it doesnt sound very nice. you should call me qiao guigui. shao jingmo smiled. qiao guigui. this sound made qiao qiaos heart flutter inexplicably. she only thought that shao jingmos voice was too magnetic. usually, this voice was very seductive. however, he was so obedient that qiao qiao seemed a little uncomfortable. the business praises would stop here. shao jingmos smile did not fade, but he did not reply. halfway through the drive, shao jingmo received two calls in a row. qiao qiao couldnt connect the details of the call, but she vaguely heard that the voice sounded like her fathers. she wondered if it was. after the second call ended, qiao qiao couldnt help but ask curiously, is this call from my father? shao jingmos expression was calm. yes. qiao qiao guessed, my father must be worried about me and said that im not good. he asked you to tolerate me and blah blah blah. shao jingmo replied, no. qiao qiao raised her eyebrows slightly. really? shao jingmo glanced at her with a serious expression and said seriously, theres a guest at home. a guest? who is it? why didnt i hear grandpa say anything when we went out just now? and this is too much of a coincidence. we just went out for a while and there were guests at home. qiao qiao couldnt stop chattering. is it for you? is that why my father called you? shao jingmo did not respond. qiao qiao suggested, why dont we turn around and go back now? no need. shao jingmo raised his hand and naturally lifted the hair that had fallen from the wind. its not important. qiao qiao avoided his hand, but she didnt care much now, because her attention was on the guests at home. curious, she asked again, could it be that grandpas friend is here to see him? shao jingmo pursed his lips into a straight line and did not answer immediately. he pondered for a moment before saying, someone from the bai family. the bai family? the xingzhou tycoons bai family? yeah. qiao qiao summarized her memories. i remember that the qiao family and the bai family dont seem to have a good relationship, let alone have much contact. shao jingmo looked at qiao qiao deeply. the bai family now is not the time to tell you. qiao qiao reminded him gloomily, shao jingmo, people who like to keep people in suspense will be inauspicious in their later years. shao jingmo smiled and pretended not to care. but in his heart, he thought if i dont have you by my side in my later years, im afraid it doesnt matter what i become..

youyou asked, how long do we have to wait? gu lanshi did not say how long they would wait. he only asked, youyou, dont you want to wait anymore? youyou didnt say anything and remained in a lying position. gu lanshi deliberately lowered his voice. youyou, youre a girl. girls have to act like girls. sit properly. youyou was unwilling. brother favors boys over girls. gu lanshi said, huh?

youyou made a cute gesture. a little. gu lanshi said, wait another half an hour. if she still hasnt come in half an hour, lets go back. youyou nodded gloomily and went back to sit properly. she also fastened her seatbelt. perhaps it was because her hands were too small and she did not have much strength, but every time she fastened her seatbelt, it seemed to be very difficult. she fastened it seriously and hard. finally, she heaved a sigh of relief and praised herself happily. i, youyou, am super awesome- this scene appeared in the inner rear view mirror. gu lanshi was originally just watching quietly. when he heard the self-praise, a smile appeared on his face and he muttered to himself, shes so like you. does this count as i was also involved in a part of your childhood. buzz buzz buzz. his cell phone vibrated. a call had come in. gu lanshi thought that it was a call from li xiwu. even if she couldnt come, she called him back to inform him. when he saw the caller id, gu lanshis expression was calm. he was silent for a few seconds before answering the call. he pressed the phone to his ear. old master cai. this call was from cai buqu. cai buqu asked on the other end of the line, youre in the car, right? gu lanshi looked out of the car window. cai buqu was standing there, facing the direction of his car. he must have recognized his car or the license plate number. gu lanshi retracted his gaze. its me. cai buqu said, since youre already here, why dont you come down and talk? gu lanshis gaze swept past youyou in the rearview mirror and she rejected politely. i was just passing by and stopped for a moment. cai buqus laughter was rich. your car has been parked here for almost two hours. gu lanshi pursed his thin lips. after a moment, he laughed. wait a moment. cai buqu said, theres no hurry. after ending the call, gu lanshi turned to discuss with little youyou. its like this. im going to get out of the car for a few minutes. can you wait for me in the car? youyou looked at gu lanshi eagerly. can you not leave me behind? gu lanshi: there was no need to bargain. with just this sentence, gu lanshi would definitely bring her along. however, when they got out of the car, gu lanshi specially put a mask on youyous face. as for why he did this, it was naturally because mr. cai was an elder who had watched li you grow up. if mr. cai saw youyou, it would be difficult to explain. a moment later. when cai buqu arrived, his attention was all on the little girl in gu lanshis arms. wearing a mask, he couldnt see the little girls appearance clearly. cai buqu sized her up a few times before asking, she is? gu lanshi said, my daughter. cai buqu: ? due to the last time they met, cai buqu was still persuading gu lanshi to let go of his obsession and not be too obsessed with someone he couldnt be with. how long has it been? when they met again, gu lanshi already had such a big daughter by her side?! the little girl was about three or four years old, right? cai buqu was surprised, but he did not show it on his face. he said calmly, im already so old. dont joke with me like this. gu lanshis expression did not look like he was joking. he repeated, shes my daughter. youyou, who was lying in gu lanshis arms, had her face covered by a mask. only her big black grape-like eyes could be seen. she was unbelievably beautiful. as this was the first time she had seen cai buqu, youyou was a little curious about this old man and kept staring at him. gu lanshi was a little worried that youyou would undermine him. fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. when he got out of the car, he had told youyou. and she had agreed to cooperate with him. the final reward was that she could eat a whole bag of cheese sticks when she returned. cheese sticks were youyous favorite snacks. she liked them even more than cake. cai buqu and youyou looked at each other for a few seconds. because the mask covered her face, her face could not be seen. although cai buqu was puzzled and did not believe him, he did not say anything else to question him. he praised gently, mr. gu, your daughter is very cute. thank you. gu lanshi looked to be in a good mood. cai buqu looked away from youyou and pointed in a direction for gu lanshi. ive been sitting there playing chess. gu lanshi looked in the direction of cai buqus finger. there was no one there now, just a stone table and two stone benches. cai buqu smiled. thats why i saw it when you drove over. i know how long it was parked.. Chapter 332 - Chapter 332: Youyu and Li Xiwu Look Too Much Like Each Other When They Were Young chapter 332: youyu and li xiwu look too much like each other when they were young translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations seeing that gu lanshi did not react, cai buqu asked, why are you here today? gu lanshi restrained his emotions. i wasnt busy, so i brought my daughter out to shop. i happened to pass by here and stopped for a while. it was the same rhetoric. who would believe that? however, neither of them undermined the other. they chatted like theyre playing tai chi, chatting about nothing of importance. cai buqu lost his patience and waved his hand. i still have something on. see you another day. gu lanshi stopped him. old master cai cai buqu turned around and said, actually, i shouldnt have called you down for a chat out of curiosity. i should have gone straight back after the last game of chess. gu lanshi smiled and asked irrelevantly, why didnt old master cai mention about the recent matters? at this point, cai buqu began to pretend to be confused. recent? whats recent? i dont have a computer, and i use an old phone, so i dont know whats been on the news recently. theres nothing major in the newspapers. gu lanshis thin lips parted. li you is back. as gu lanshi had expected, cai buqu did not look surprised when he heard this. gu lanshi asked, arent you surprised? cai buqu straightened up. i was waiting for you to mention this just now, but you never mentioned it. now youre mentioning it. tell me, whats your motive for coming here today? gu lanshi smiled calmly. even if i repeat myself, i have no motive. you wont believe me. cai buqu said unhurriedly, because mr. gus credibility is worrying. gu lanshi was not angry at these words. ill correct it. cai buqus face darkened and he waved his hand. be my guest. gu lanshi hugged youyou and stood still. i asked li you over today. cai buqu raised his eyebrows. its been two hours. missy didnt come. she wont come even if it was any later. gu lanshis eyes darkened. do you think so too? cai buqu said slowly, missy has a happy family now. shes doing well. i know shes doing well and im happy, so i didnt disturb her. if she wants to come back one day, ill open the door to welcome her return immediately, but i hope you wont disturb our missys current life. cai buqu had been paying attention to li xiwus identity being exposed online recently. of course, it was not only recently. ever since li xiwu came to the li mansion, cai buqu had been secretly paying attention to her. actually, he knew it in his heart. ever since they met at the li mansion that day, he had already confirmed that li xiwu was missy. she was still alive and well. she had just changed her lifestyle and couldnt remember the past. cai buqu recalled that because he was eager some time ago, he believed gu lanshis words. he even became an accomplice and almost helped missy recover her memories. actually, to missy, remembering the past was no longer that important. what was important was her current life. it was quite good that the pei family had created a brand new life for her. he thought that it would always be like this and that he would not disturb her. however, when she saw missys last statement in the live-stream, she seemed to remember everything. therefore, in cai buqus opinion, gu lanshi was probably here to bewitch him again today. even if he avoided it this time, he might not be able to avoid it next time. he might as well take the initiative to make his stand clear. gu lanshi was very calm from the beginning to the end. i know that if she regains her memories, it will only hurt to remember what happened in the past. shes in a good state now. dont worry, old master cai. i wont disturb her current life again. cai buqu did not know if he believed gu lanshis words. he only smiled and raised his hand. since youve said so, go ahead. gu lanshi nodded. goodbye. cai buqu nodded and watched gu lanshi leave. youyou leaned on gu lanshis shoulder and waved goodbye to cai buqu. goodbye, grandpa cai beuqu raised his hand and waved with a smile. goodbye, kid. this little girl was very cute. she had always been very obedient in gu lanshis arms. although gu lanshi said that she was his daughter, cai buqu was not stupid. naturally, he would not believe such casual words. missy had been missing for so many years and no one knew if she was dead or alive. with gu lanshis feelings for missy, he probably wouldnt be sad while having fun. as for whose child that little girl was, cai buqu was no longer curious. he was about to turn around and go back when he suddenly saw the little girl take off her mask and say something happily. it was too far away for cai buqu to hear clearly. but he could see the little girls face clearly. wait a minute! cai buqu shouted. gu lanshi, who was leaving with youyou in his arms, heard this voice, he stood rooted to the ground. he turned around and saw old master cai running towards him. gu lanshi said, youyou, put on your mask. youyou pouted unhappily. but brother just said that i can take off my mask. gu lanshi looked at old master cai and then at youyou with doting eyes. alright, you dont have to wear it then. at this moment, cai buqu had already run over. he was panting heavily. when he saw the little girls appearance up close, he was stunned, and then right on the heels was disbelief. he pointed at youyou, his trembling lips opening and closing, unable to say a complete word for a long time. gu lanshi asked, is there anything else, old master cai? cai buqus gaze returned to gu lanshi and he asked in a trembling voice, who, who is she? gu lanshi still replied calmly, my daughter. cai buqus voice sank. thats impossible!! gu lanshi asked, why does old master cai think that shes not my daughter? cai buqu pointed at youyou with trembling hands and said, i watched missy grow up. she, she gu lanshi was puzzled. so? cai buqu took a deep breath to calm himself down. his tone was no longer as excited as before. mr. gu, lets talk. gu lanshi smiled apologetically. im sorry, mr. cai. i have to take youyou back. youyou mr. cai repeated the name. so its a homophone cai buqu was still unwilling to believe this fact, but this fact was in front of him. he also knew that gu lanshi must have deliberately let him see youyous appearance. cai buqu looked at youyou lovingly. how old are you? youyou showed her teeth and smiled. youyou is four years old. cai buqu was stunned again. four years old missy had been missing for four years. cai buqu thought of something and suddenly asked gu lanshi, is youyou your and missys child? gu lanshi neither admitted nor denied it. he just looked at cai buqu quietly. in cai buqus opinion, this reaction was silent agreement. this little girl looked so similar to missy when she was young. she was also brought up by gu lanshi.. there was a high chance that she was missys child Chapter 333 - Chapter 333: Calling Him a Shameless Third Party chapter 333: calling him a shameless third party translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations in the li mansion. gu lanshi bent down and put youyou down. this was the first time youyou was here. facing the unfamiliar surroundings, she instinctively grabbed gu lanshis sleeve and refused to let go. she looked around curiously. gu lanshi squatted down and said to youyou, this is her home. youyou asked, is it pretty sisters house? gu lanshi smiled gently and stood up to hold youyous hand as they sat down by the sofa. here, these are the pears i bought today. cai buqu placed the fruit platter with the pears on the coffee table and picked up another one to hand to youyou. you can eat it directly after washing it. youyou took the pear and looked up. thank you, grandpa. cai buqu smiled lovingly. youre welcome. cai buqu stared at youyou for a long time. no matter how he looked at it, she looked like her! she was too similar! especially her eyebrows and nose, they were almost carved from the same mold as missy when she was young. after looking at youyou, cai buqu turned to look at gu lan. gu lanshi knew what old master cai was comparing. he silently let him sized up him. after a moment, he took the initiative to break the silence. youyou is more like her. indeed, cai buqu said meaningfully. and theres no sign of you at all. gu lanshi remained silent. cai buqu was also straightforward because youyous small face looked like a replica of missy when she was young, but there was no trace of gu lanshi. it made sense for her to have her genes, but the main reason was that cai buqu was not 100% sure that youyou was missys child. what happened in country t back then, he knew more obscurely. but to comfirm that she was missys child just because gu lanshi had brought this little girl was too rash. it had to be confirmed. as for how to verify it, there was no hurry. mr. gu, why didnt i hear you mention this before? cai buqu asked. gu lanshi lowered his eyes slightly. if i mention it, will old master cai treat me better on account that i raised the child alone and am very pitiful? cai buqu cleared his throat. its rare for a father to rise because of his child, but its not impossible. a faint smile appeared on gu lanshis lips. then old master cai, do you mean that you will help our family of three reunite on account of our pity? cai buqus tone was calm. a fool harms his own virtue. gu lansms expression not cnange. lnen wnat my ruture nappmess is built on the perfection of others? cai buqu said, it means that you will definitely have a calamity in your life. as long as you dont have any bad intentions, you will definitely be able to achieve great merit in the future. gu lanshi said, such as? cai buqu raised his hand and pointed in a direction. gu lanshi looked in the direction cai buqu was pointing. it was a wall with a clock on it. old master cai, do you mean that i should leave everything to time? this was gu lanshis understanding. not really. cai buqu shook his head enigmatically. theres a temple five kilometers in this direction. gu lanshi said, you want me to become a monk? cai buqu smiled. i didnt think so, but now that you mention it, i think its a good idea. gu lanshi gritted his teeth and did not say anything. cai buqus smile widened. as he smiled, he was afraid that he would lose all the merit he had accumulated over the years. he straightened up. what i mean is that youre a good man and lack a good marriage. if mr. gu is willing, i, cai buqu, will personally go to a temple five kilometers away and ask the buddha for a marriage for you. this way, you wont always think of destroying other peoples families and being a shameless third party. gu lanshi: if gu lanshi was an impatient person, he would have already gone berserk on the spot!! fortunately, gu lanshi was calm. however, his ashen face looked like he was having a hard time holding it in. he gritted his molars and glanced sideways at old master cai. i wont trouble old master cai. what if old master cai does something bad out of goodwill and beg me for an ill-fated relationship? as for me, i can still bear it. im just afraid that youyou will suffer with me. youyou wont suffer with you, cai buqu said firmly. gu lanshi smiled and said slowly, the path is long. no! cai buqu said solemnly, reorganizing the family will hurt the child very much. mr. gu, think about it. if you remarry with youyou, can you guarantee that your remarried wife will treat youyou as her own? no, right? gu lanshi: cai buqu continued, missy and young master have been married for so many years and dont have any children. there are no such conflicts. youyou can be raised by missy. this will only be beneficial to you, mr. gu, and it wont affect your future marriage. gu lanshi closed his eyes in displeasure. old master cai, you dont have to keep mentioning getting married again. ive never gotten married before. cai buqu smiled meaningfully. look at me. i forgot about this. it turns out that mr. gu has never had an official status from the beginning to the end. its just a shameful identity. gu lanshi: what did he mean by a shameful identity? there was no way to chat today! gu lanshi planned to take youyou away, but when he turned around, youyou was nowhere to be seen. youyou? gu lanshi shouted. a moment later, youyous voice came from upstairs im here. gu lanshi followed the voice and was about to go upstairs when cai buqu reached out to block gu lanshis way. mr. gu, wait a moment. gu lanshi stopped in his tracks. cai buqu took half a step forward and stood beside gu lanshi. he said earnestly, im sincerely advising you not to disturb missys current life. as long as you nod, i can try to find missy and persuade young master to treat youyou as his own. what do you think? gu lanshi smiled. old master cai, can you really persuade pei jingzhou to raise my and little yous daughter? cai buqu was very determined. yes. gu lanshi smiled. then ill have to trouble old master cai. if pei jingzhou is really so magnanimous, i can let him raise my daughter. are you serious? cai buqu was afraid that gu lanshi would say one thing and do another. gu lanshi pushed away cai buqus hand that was blocking his way. of course. with that, gu lanshi walked towards the stairs. youyou, we should go home. two days later, li xiwu successfully left the hospital. when she was discharged, the doctor removed the gauze from her forehead. the wound was obvious at first glance. the doctor reminded her to pay attention to the wound when washing her face and showering in the next few days, then prescribed the best scar removal gel. pei jingzhou, i want to go to the company first. president qi informed me of the preparatory arrangements for the annual meeting. i have to go to a meeting. also as she spoke, she did not hear pei jingzhous voice for a long time. she looked sideways at him. it was clearly an expressionless face, but li xiwu could see the helplessness of his face. she pursed her lips and smiled. she changed her form of address and tone. fourth brother, i have some matters to settle at the company. look, can i go? pei jingzhou smiled.. can i say no? Chapter 334 - Chapter 334: Come and Tell Li Xiwu the Truth chapter 334: come and tell li xiwu the truth translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations after returning to the company, li xiwu immediately turned into a workaholic. other than the meeting, there were two other producers to meet. while chatting with the producer, li xiwu learned about the recent market trend. in the end, she also recommended her new artist, xue jinzhu, to the producer. after the producer saw xue jinzhus personal information, although he did not express his dissatisfaction, the meaning in his words was obvious. xue jinzhu was a newcomer and could not hold up the female lead role for the time being. at this moment, qi jiangchi added faintly, with her current qualifications, she indeed cant hold up the female leads scenes, but her fathers money can. as soon as he said this, the eyes of the two producers instantly cleared. just a second ago, they were clearly despising xue jinzhu for being a pure newcomer who had just debuted and no experience. she could not hold the position of the female lead. however, in the next second, the two producers expressed that she could audition and see the effect in the end. in other words, as long as she auditioned, she would be able to get the female lead. li xiwu glanced sideways at qi jiangchi. he smiled meaningfully, looking like he was watching a good show. in the end, li xiwu accepted the script handed over by the producer and implicitly said that she would tell xue jinzhu about these two scripts when she returned. then, she would choose a time to audition. the two producers were grinning from ear to ear. they were here today to talk about the female lead, but they hadnt expected to talk about the investors. after the two producers left, li xiwu placed the notebook in her hand on the table. at this rate, i can retire early as a manager. qi jiangchi crossed his long legs on the table and sat lazily. this is the treatment of a pay-to-win contestant. go ahead and support little xue. old xue will pay for everything. li xiwu smiled and was about to get up. qi jiangchi stopped her. are you feeling better? li xiwu said, thank you for your concern, president qi. im much better. i can tell. look at the aura you gave off during the meeting just now. qi jiangchi smiled. as expected of an outstanding diplomat selected by the country. li xiwu choked and looked over to correct her. president qi, in my position, im an artist manager. qi jiangchi smiled and raised his hand to touch his chin. li xiwu, youre really hiding your strength. as a national diplomat, you actually stay in my small media company and suffer. what kind of incense did i offer? li xiwu corrected him again. in the three years ive been in hua guan, ive never complained about being aggrieved. i like this place very much. yes, yes, yes. qi jiangchi smiled apologetically. i knew you still liked this place. li xiwu smiled. the atmosphere was just right. qi jiangchi did not ask about li xiwus background. he didnt have such a hobby. to qi jiangchi, as long as li xiwu was still the same li xiwu, everything else was not that important. li xiwu took her cell phone and looked at the time. it was still early. she chatted with qi jiangchi about the annual meeting. before she left, she said, although the program is over, i might still be delayed for two days. i have something to deal with. ill tell you. she could not delay her plan to go to country t. otherwise, there would be trouble. qi jiangchi frowned. before or after the annual meeting? li xiwu said, before the annual meeting. qi jiangchi waved his hand. thats fine. as long as youre here at the annual meeting. i still have to rely on you. li xiwu said, president qi, you flatter me. what do you mean by flattery? thats what it is. qi jiangchi mentioned, originally, you should be boss li at this years annual meeting, but with the matter of ji weiling, it has to be delayed. when xue jinzhu becomes popular, you can naturally become boss li. li xiwu wanted to say something. i dont! qi jiangchi interrupted li xiwu. you might return to your original position one day, but before you leave, you have to leave some strong impression in my company. li xiwu smiled. then i cant let president qi down. qi jiangchi said, its a deal. li xiwu agreed. at this moment, her phone rang. qi jiangchi said jokingly, your man is urging you to go home. li xiwu thought so too. she took the cell phone and saw that it was not pei jingzhou. it was yuanyuan. she picked it up. whats wrong? yuanyuan said, miss li, someone is looking for you. he said his name is cai buqu. hearing this name, li xiwu slowly stood up. i understand. ill be down immediately. qi jiangchi looked thoughtful. who is looking for you? from li xiwus expression, he knew that pei jingzhou was not here to pick her up. someone else was looking for li xiwu. li xiwu put away her cell phone and left in a hurry. as she walked, she replied, its old master cai, my former butler. qi jiangchi raised his eyebrows and did not ask further. he watched li xiwu disappear at the door. downstairs. at the office. cai buqu was already sitting on the sofa waiting. yuanyuan made him a cup of black tea, and cai buqu thanked her. li xiwu pushed open the door and entered. she stopped when she saw the old man sitting on the sofa. yuanyuan walked over and said, miss li, hes old master cai. he said that hes only looking for you. li xiwu nodded. i understand. you can leave first. yuanyuan nodded and left. cai buqu stood up and looked at li xiwu, who was standing at the door. miss li, long time no see. li xiwu smiled faintly and walked over to greet him. hello, mr. cai. cai buqu replied with a hello and sat down. the scholars elegant figure sat very straight. li xiwu had always felt that old master cai was friendly. only now did she know that he was an elder who had watched her grow up. she sat down opposite cai buqu and did not know what to ask for a moment. after a moment, she could only ask serious questions. old master cai, why are you looking for me today? cai buqu looked at li xiwu again and sighed with emotion. he stared at her for a moment before saying slowly, actually, i should call you missy. li xiwu was slightly stunned. on the way down, she guessed that old master cai must have known, but because he did not have her direct contact number, he could not go to lake lu or tan hua manor to see her. he could only come to the company to see her today. and her guess was confirmed by cai buqu. he said slowly, i came to ask yesterday. you werent at the office. i figured since youd finished recording that show, youd be at the office sometime. i didnt expect to come today. you just happened to be there. li xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. cai buqu was a little dazed. when i see you again, it feels like a lifetime ago. li xiwu didnt reply. it wasnt that she didnt want to, but she didnt know how to respond. cai buqu smiled sadly, then said seriously, actually, im here today to tell missy something important. li xiwu was curious.. something important? Chapter 335 - Chapter 335: suddenly Learnmg ‘l’nat sne Had a Daugnter chapter 335: suddenly learnmg lnat sne had a daugnter translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the important thing li xiwu could think of might be related to her father. or perhaps it had something to do with her mother. however, she did not expect that the important matter that old master cai had specially come to talk to her about was actually related to gu lanshi. missy, ill apologize to you here for what happened last time. cai buqus expression was solemn. li xiwu asked, what happened last time? last time, i shouldnt have listened to mr. gu and almost let him hurt you. cai buqus tone was very guilty. so after he came to look for me this time, i came to look for you immediately. li xiwu pursed her lips. then what did gu lanshi tell you this time? cai buqu did not answer. instead, he asked first, missy, may i ask if you still remember what happened between you and mr. gu in country t back then? this question was indeed presumptuous. li xiwu didnt know how to answer for a moment. she thought for a few seconds and asked, why dont you tell me what gu lanshi said to you this time? she wanted to confirm if gu lanshi was up to something again. alright. cai buqu looked at li xiwu steadily and slowly replied, mr. gu didnt say anything, but this time, he brought a little girl. hearing this, li xiwus eyebrows twitched. little girl? cai buqu said, the little girl is a little more than four years old. im not sure about the exact four years and months. because when he asked, youyou only said that she was four years old. cai buqu regretted it a little. he should have chased after her and asked clearly. that way, he could have conveyed the information to missy completely. li xiwu asked in confusion, then what does this little girl have to do with me? or rather, whats gu lanshis relationship with this little girl? cai buqu said simply, that little girl called mr. gu daddy. li xiwu was dumbfounded. are you saying that gu lanshi had a four-year-old daughter? li xiwu was worried that she had misheard, so she asked again with uncertainty. cai buqu nodded and replied, yes. the shock on li xiwus face faded and slowly became the expression of a bystander. in other words, gu lanshi is already married, and he has always been in a secret marriage. because he could only be in a secret marriage state, gu lanshi could convince his mother to participate in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show. otherwise, if the netizens found out that he was already married, the show would definitely change people. cai buqus expression was even more solemn than before. im not sure if hes married, but his daughter is indeed more than four years old. after hearing this, other than the shock from before, li xiwu was also a little puzzled. then what does this matter have to do with me? otherwise, old master cai would not have specially rushed over just to tell her that gu lanshi had a daughter. there had to be something else. however, li xiwu never expected this to happen to her. old master cai was indeed not finished. he looked at li xiwu with a complicated expression. his mouth opened, but he hesitated. li xiwu could tell. go ahead. cai buqu said seriously, that little girl is at least 60% similar to you when you were young, missy. li xiwu was stunned. wh-what? cai buqu repeated what he had just said. mr. gus four-year-old daughter is at least 60% similar to you when you were young. the next second, li xiwu suddenly stood up. earlier, she had a look of disbelief and shock because she found out that gu lanshi already had a four-year-old daughter. but she immediately found out that gu lanshis daughter had some possible relationship with her. cai buqu also stood up and advised solemnly, missy, calm down first. as long as theres no direct scientific evidence, that little girl has nothing to do with you at the moment. li xiwu lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. she turned to old master cai. do you have a photo of the little girl? no. cai buqu shook his head. at that time, he only wanted to come and see missy as soon as possible. he didnt have time to think about anything else. oh, right. cai buqu looked at li xiwu. missy, that little girls name is youyou. li xiwu suddenly looked up and turned to look at old master cai. you, you? seeing that missys reaction when she heard this name was even greater than when she found out that the little girl looked like her, cai buqu guessed, has missy already come into contact with a little girl called youyou? li xiwu was speechless. i cai buqu did not see the live-stream on the pleasure boat. he had been watching the live-stream since night time, so he missed youyous earliest appearance. li xiwus expression became more and more solemn. youyou.. the first thing she thought of was the little girl she had seen on the pleasure boat that day. her name was also youyou. she said she liked grapefruit cake. that day, because the grapefruit cake was gone, she gave her a strawberry cake. she had a deep impression. when she returned, she mentioned youyou, who had given her a cupcake after only meeting her once, in front of pei jingzhou many times. missy? cai buqu shouted worriedly. li xiwu came back to her senses and saw old master cai looking at her worriedly. she shook her head. im fine. cai buqu said worriedly, you dont look too good. i just thought of something li xiwu pursed her lips. if im not wrong, gu lanshi probably brought that little girl to see me. its just that i didnt know at that time cai buqu was surprised. youve already met? li xiwu frowned. im not very sure either, because i didnt know who she was at that time and didnt see her parents. but now that i think about it, if gu lanshis daughter is youyou, who i saw on the pleasure boat that day, then the man who hasnt shown his face in the pleasure boat should be gu lanshi. of course, this was only a guess. when she first met youyou on the pleasure boat, she only felt that they were fated. the first time they met, she learned how to call her mom according to the internet. she even gave her a cake. from the looks of it, the first time they met on the pleasure boat did not seem to be a coincidence. missy, do you remember what happened between you and mr. gu in the past? cai buqu asked. li xiwu shook her head. i dont remember. cai buqu was puzzled. you admitted your identity during the live-stream that night li xiwu said, although i dont completely remember the past, i already know that im li you and know many things related to my background. cai buqu nodded. i see. li xiwu pursed her lips and remained silent. its time for me to go back. cai buqu looked at li xiwu and said, i dont know when well meet next. if missy wants to come back, theres no need to contact me in advance. just come back directly. ive been guarding the li mansion. li xiwu nodded. okay.. Chapter 336 - Chapter 336: Take The Initiative and Meet Him chapter 336: take the initiative and meet him translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations cai buqu also said, missy, i cant see through mr. gu. hes very scheming. you have to be careful. li xiwu nodded. i know. also, cai buqu deliberately added, no matter what relationship you had with mr. gu in the past, its not the past now. remember to be clear about everything. li xiwus heart warmed. she knew that old master cai was reminding her not to be led by the nose by gu lanshi. that mr. pei is very good. at least in my opinion, hes much more reliable than mr. gu. but from a certain perspective, you cant completely deny mr. gu. if youyou is really you and mr. gu its indeed not easy for mr. gu to take care of youyou alone? at this point, cai buqus meaning was clear. li xiwu understood what old mr. cai meant. i know what to do. cai buqu nodded. then ill leave first. li xiwu took a step forward. ill see you off. cai buqu did not refuse. under li xiwus escort, he went downstairs and took a car back to qiang yue garden. after sending old master cai off, li xiwu returned to the office. yuanyuan walked over with a cup of steaming brown sugar water. miss li, your period is coming up. i made you brown sugar water. li xiwu reached out to take it. thank you, yuanyuan. seeing that li xiwus expression was not very good, yuanyuan probed, miss li, who is that old master cai? li xiwu sat down behind the desk with the steaming brown sugar water. its my former butler. yuanyuan recalled miss lis background. it was normal for her to have a butler at home. however, the appearance of this butler seemed to have made miss li feel much lower. she wondered what was going on. after yuanyuan went out, li xiwu was alone in the office. li xiwu drank some brown sugar water. her entire stomach was warm. the entire office was silent. li xiwu put the brown sugar water aside and turned on her computer. she clicked on mother-in-law joys chat, trying to find a screenshot of the netizens in the chat. she had the mentality of giving it a try. unexpectedly, she really found a screenshot of youyou from the netizens. there was even a recording. there were quite a lot of comments. [hahaha, i almost thought it was a real baby dragon.] [shes too cute. i can tell that li xiwu really likes her.] [in my heart, sister li and fourth brothers daughter should look like this.] [in terms of how it feels to be remembered by everyone when a random passerby appears on screen.] [ive tried using software to test the appearance of future children. i scanned sister li and fourth brothers faces together and found that they actually look 80% like this little girl.] [hahaha, sister li probably couldnt have given birth to such a similar child herself.] li xiwu slowly scrolled through the comments. most comments said that the little girl was her daughter in a joking tone. no. it wasnt. li xiwu threw away the mouse and leaned back to calm herself down. the man who had not appeared on the pleasure boat that day might not be gu lanshi, and the youyou on the pleasure boat should not be gu lanshis daughter, youyou. or perhaps this was just a joke gu lanshi had made to old master cai. however, when old master cai asked her about the relationship between her and gu lanshi back then, she couldnt say it at all because she didnt remember. not remembering could also mean that something had really happened and she didnt know. could this be why pei jingzhou didnt know that she was pregnant? could it be that she was pregnant with someone elses child back then? no, thats not right. if she really gave birth to gu lanshis daughter, what about yaoyao? the suspicion of yaoyaos identity seemed to have suddenly become unfounded. two children, a boy and a girl. one was more than four years old, and the other was more than three years old. what was going on the mystery was magnified several times in front of li xiwu, but she couldnt figure it out. that day, gu lanshi asked her to meet him about her pregnancy back then. it seemed that gu lanshi knew far more than she had imagined. no! instead of letting herself be led by the nose, she might as well take control. li xiwu did not hesitate anymore. she picked up her phone and called gu lanshi. after a few seconds, the call was picked up. li xiwu went straight to the point. i want to see you. do you have time now? it was quiet on the line. no sound came. li xiwu knew that he was on the phone, so she repeated what she had just said. gu lanshi, i want to see you. do you have time now? after a moment, gu lanshis voice came from the receiver. i wanted to see you last time. i waited for you for a long time, but you didnt come. this time, you want to see me immediately, right? li xiwu pursed her lips. sorry. dont be sorry. gu lanshis voice was gentle. no one else can, but if you want to see me, of course, you can do it anytime. li xiwu asked, where are you? gu lanshi said, im at home. you can come over directly. li xiwu did not reply. she did not know where gu lanshis house was. ill send you the address, or i can come and pick you up, gu lanshi said on the other end of the line. theres no need to pick me up, li xiwu said. send me the address. ill drive straight from the company. gu lanshi smiled faintly. okay, ill wait for you. just as li xiwu was about to hang up, gu lanshi asked her again, what do you want to eat? ill get auntie to buy groceries. li xiwu pressed the phone back to her ear. sorry, i wont stay long. i wont eat dinner. gu lanshi said, its rare for you to come. i want li xiwu said firmly, i have something to ask you. its just some questions. gu lanshi said gently, alright, come over then. after ending the call, li xiwu immediately received a message from gu lanshi. it was his address in the capital. she didnt know if it was the gu family or his personal residence. yuanyuan. li xiwu scooped up her jacket and put it on. she called out to the door. yuanyuan pushed open the door and entered. she saw li xiwu putting on her clothes. miss li, are you ready to get off work? li xiwu had already put on her coat. she picked up her bag and walked over. i have something to do first. supervise xue jinzhu well. dont let her be lazy in acting class. yuanyuan nodded. i understand. li xiwu pursed her lips and lowered her voice to get to the point. mr. pei will come and pick me up later. if mr. pei sends an assistant to ask you questions, just say that i went to see a producer at the last minute. ill rush back to the company in time. yuanyuan was already nervous. miss li, where are you going? li xiwu placed her hand on yuanyuans wrist. just steady yourself. ill be back as soon as possible. yuanyuan nodded. then you must come back early. li xiwu got out of the parking lot and drove, adjusting the gps. it took her thirteen minutes to reach gu lanshis residence. li xiwu looked up at the neighborhood in front of her and took out her phone to call gu lanshi. im here.. Chapter 337 - Chapter 337: Is It Really Your Daughter? chapter 337: is it really your daughter? translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu waited quietly in the car for a while. a few minutes later, a familiar figure walked out from the side of the district. li xiwu recognized it at a glance. it was gu lanshi. she pushed open the car door and got out. when gu lanshi approached, she raised her voice. i came alone. gu lanshi said, i know. the reason why she specially said it was because she was afraid that gu lanshi would become suspicious and hide until her goal for coming today was not fulfilled. gu lanshi turned sideways. go up and sit. okay. since li xiwu was here this time, she naturally had her own plans. she agreed generously and entered the district under gu lanshis lead. she took the elevator upstairs and went to his house. along the way, li xiwu deliberately remembered the environment here. she remembered which building gu lanshi lived in, which floor, and the house number. she thought that it was impossible for gu lanshi to notice her gaze. when she reached the door, gu lan entered the fingerprint password and opened the door. when she invited her in, she asked, do you remember this place? li xiwu stopped in her tracks. she looked up at him. gu lanshi only smiled. its not that im observant. i just know you too well, li you. to li xiwu, this call seemed to be directed at another person. li xiwu was still not used to her other name, which was her real name. seeing that her expression was gradually becoming guarded, gu lanshi said apologetically, i shouldnt have said that. sorry, please come in. li xiwu nodded and walked in. gu lanshis house was estimated to be about 200 square meters. the decor was simple, with a fabric sofa and gray curtains. it did not look lively. he probably rarely lived here. after entering, li xiwu quickly scanned the room. there were no signs of children living there at all. are you looking for signs of a child living here? gu lanshis voice was very close to her. when li xiwu turned around, she stepped back a little. she pretended to be puzzled. what? im the only one living here. after gu lanshi finished speaking, he raised his hand and opened his palm. li xiwu looked at gu lanshis raised hand. there was a small strawberry hair clip in his palm. when she saw the small hair clip, the light in li xiwus eyes flickered. although it was not obvious, gu lanshi saw it all. gu lanshi suddenly smiled. although there are no traces at home, i occasionally carry some small hair clips or hair ties with me. when youyou goes out to eat, the small hair clips and hair ties i carry will work. with that, gu lanshi put away the little strawberry hair clip. li xiwu turned around and began to brazenly search for youyou. gu lanshi did not stop her and just watched her search quietly. to li xiwu, this was gu lanshis house after all. it was impossible for her to enter and leave as she pleased, like in a public place or her own house she only searched the living room and places she saw. but there was still no sign of youyou. gu lanshi calmly watched li xiwu search for a while. after a moment, he stopped li xiwu. theres no need to look. the meaning of my words just now was obvious. youyou doesnt live here. li xiwu stopped and turned around. the water that gu lanshi left to boil was done. gu lanshi went to the front of the stage, opened the cabinet, and asked, is your taste in tea the same as before? li xiwu didnt answer. gu lanshi said to himself, sorry, i forgot that you dont remember the past. you probably dont remember the past tastes either. he turned to look at her, a soft smile on his face. you used to like cinnamon. what about now? li xiwu imew very well that although she was not specially here as a guest, gu lanshi had the intention to treat her as a guest, so she naturally could not be unreasonable. she pursed her lips. black tea will do. gu lanshi looked back at the tea in the cabinet and said, theres no more black tea. li xiwu said, water, please. thank you. how can that do? this is your first time here. ill place an order online now. itll be sent over very quickly. as he spoke, he picked up his phone and prepared to order black tea. li xiwu felt that it was really troublesome and a waste of time, so she said, then ill drink cinnamon. gu lanshi paused. isnt that too much? no. li xiwu smiled and shook her head. gu lanshi nodded and took out his usual tiger roar rock from the cabinet. he soaked it in a pot. the first cinnamon tea was poured away. the second tea did not take long. half a minute was enough. gu lanshi came over with the soaked cinnamon. seeing that li xiwu was still standing, he nodded. sit. li xiwu felt a little uneasy and sat down on the sofa beside her. the fragrance of cinnamon wafted over. li xiwu rarely drank cinnamon and surprisingly felt that it smelled good. gu lanshi saw that her expression was relaxed. you used to like to drink cinnamon. li xiwus hand paused when it touched the cup. she picked it up imperceptibly and sniffed it. everyones taste wont remain the same. just because i liked it in the past doesnt mean i like it now. with that, she smiled and took a shallow sip of cinnamon in front of gu lanshi. it was a little hot. gu lanshi looked away. li you, youve changed a lot in the past four years. li xiwu put down her cup and changed the subject. thank you for your hospitality. the tea is delicious. gu lanshi smiled self-deprecatingly. i can tell that you dont really want to talk to me about the past. li xiwu looked at him quietly for a moment and said, people have to move forward. its boring to keep remembering the past. what do you think? gu lanshi said, thats true. he looked up at her. his eyes were filled with love. li xiwu calmly looked away and cut to the chase. old master cai came to look for me. he told me something. its also about these things. i decided to look for you. oh? gu lanshi pretended to be curious. what did uncle cai tell you? uncle cai following gu lanshis guidance, li xiwu subconsciously called him uncle cai. after calling him that, she realized that this was how she had called old master cai in the past. gu lanshi could tell that she was stunned for a moment and smiled. its respect for others to call him old master. its unfamiliar for you to call him that. li xiwu pursed her lips. lets get down to business first. gu lanshi nodded. li xiwu continued the conversation. old master cai said that you have a four-year-old daughter called youyou. gu lanshi nodded. yes. li xiwu glanced at gu lanshi and said calmly, is she your biological daughter? gu lanshi also looked at li xiwu. when they looked at each other, his gaze was extremely calm. of course. li xiwu took a deep breath. then let me ask you, were you the person on the pleasure boat that day? after asking this question, li xiwus heart skipped a beat. it was obvious how nervous she was. she actually hoped that the person on the pleasure boat that day was not gu lanshi. she also hoped that the little girl she met on the pleasure boat was not gu lanshis daughter, youyou. but it seemed that the heavens were not what she expected. gu lanshi said Chapter 338 - Chapter 338: See Her Pregnant Photos chapter 338: see her pregnant photos translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations gu lanshi replied, its me. li xiwu frowned and clenched her fists on her knees. gu lanshi looked at her frown and asked softly, would you feel relieved if i said it wasnt me? no. her throat felt raw. so that day gu lanshi said unhurriedly, thats why i specially brought youyou to see you that day. li xiwu pretended to be calm as she took the teacup and took a sip. gu lanshi watched her every move. li you, can you tell me how you feel now? li xiwu held the cup in her hand. the heat of the tea passed through the porcelain cup to her fingertips. it was not hot, but she wanted to let go and leave. however, she naturally would not leave just like that. otherwise, what was the purpose of her visit today? she slowly looked up at gu lanshi. what does youyou have to do with me? after asking, she waited for gu lanshi to answer her. if not for those dreams that let her know that she was pregnant, she would not be so tormented at this moment. she waited in torment for gu lanshi to tell her the truth. she even thought of what to say next to question him. if it was a fabricated lie, it could not be flawless. there had to be a flaw. but she never expected that gu lanshi would not tell her the truth but give her the truth she wanted. gu lanshi took out his phone. after a while, he placed it on the coffee table and slowly pushed it in front of li xiwu. look at this. compared to what i said, i think you should be more willing to believe what you saw with your own eyes. li xiwu was stunned and did not immediately reach out. what is this? gu lanshi said, i saved some photos of you in country t back then. li xiwus heart was beating like a drum. it was not because she was nervous, but because she was afraid for no reason. she was afraid to face reality. seeing that she did not reach out to take the cell phone for a long time, gu lanshi reached out to take it back. its fine if you dont look at it. ill tell you. as soon as his hand landed on the phone, li xiwu stopped him. wait. gu lanshi looked up at her. li xiwu suppressed her unstable emotions and whispered, ill look at it. gu lanshi retracted his hand and smiled. li xiwu slowly leaned over and picked up her phone. the screen had not gone out. when she saw the first photo, her pupils constricted. gu lanshi reminded her, there are a total of six photos. continue scrolling back. li xiwu heard it, but she didnt swipe back immediately. she stared at the first photo for a long time. the image in the first photo overlapped with the scene in the dream. li huaisheng and mo zhu were sitting in the pavilion. she was standing at the side, and the focus was on her bulging stomach. li xiwu looked at the photo for a long time. then, her fingers slowly moved back, almost stiffly. the second photo was also the scene in the first, but in the second photo, mo zhu stood beside her. mother and daughter were talking about something. after that was the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth photo. her pregnant belly was in every photo. it looked like it had been taken in the course of a day. by then, the belly was huge and seemed to be coming into labor soon. li xiwu closed her eyes tightly, trying to ease the impact of the photo. but the moment she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the photos of her pregnant belly. her heart surged, and her emotions gradually flared up on the verge of losing control. her hands were trembling slightly, her brows were furrowed, and her face was a little pale. gu lanshi stood up and snatched the phone from her hand. li you. li xiwu suddenly sobered and looked up at him. the person in the photo is gu lanshi said, its you. he knew what she wanted to ask. doubt? obviously, it would be strange not to. therefore, he told her directly, the person with a bulging stomach in the photo is you. if you still dont believe me, then i have nothing to say. the next second, li xiwu suddenly stood up. she had a lot of things she wanted to ask gu lanshi. she could clearly ask him now, but her throat seemed to be blocked. she choked and could not make a sound. gu lanshi tried to approach her slowly. he placed his hand gently on her shoulder and called softly, li you? li xiwu looked up at him and said with difficulty, gu lanshi, when did this happen? meeting li xiwus shattered eyes, gu lanshis heart choked. four years ago, when your mother was still around. li xiwu shrugged slightly and moved gu lanshis hand away from her shoulder. she slowly sat down. i dont remember anything from the past. i believe you know about it too, so if you tell me now that it was four years ago, i wont be able to answer you. but you can tell me. gu lanshis hand froze in midair. he turned to the bar to get a teacup and came over to refill li xiwus cup. have some more. li xiwu said, thank you. gu lanshi put the teacup aside and returned to his seat. seeing that li xiwus expression had improved a lot, he said, why dont you ask? i dont know where to start. it was related to li xiwu, so it was indeed necessary for her to ask so that gu lanshi could answer. otherwise, they would probably not be able to finish talking for a long time. li xiwus expression was tacit agreement. after considering her words for a moment, she asked directly, who knew about my pregnancy back then? gu lanshi lowered her eyes slightly and did not look at li xiwu. your parents and me. li xiwu narrowed her eyes. who else? gu lanshi looked up at her. under the silent gaze, li xiwu knew what to do. it was up to gu lanshi to answer. if he insisted that there was no one else, li xiwu felt that there was no need to continue this conversation. because as far as she knew, madam di xin also knew about her pregnancy. gu lanshi did not disappoint her. after looking at her quietly for a moment, he slowly said a name. madam di xin. li xiwus eyelashes fluttered as she continued to ask, who else? gu lanshi said, back then, you deliberately hide your pregnancy from pei jingzhou. very few people even knew about it. li xiwu murmured, is that so ive always been in country t. during that time, your stomach was already very big, and youve always been by your mothers side. gu lanshi said slowly in a neither fast nor slow tone, at that time, your condition was not good. to be precise, it was very bad. i happened to hear what your mother said to you and asked you to terminate the pregnancy. you were unwilling. when li xiwu heard gu lanshis words, she clearly did not recall those scenes, but she could still empathize. the tip of her nose stung, and her voice caught. what happened then? gu lanshi said word by word, later on, you insisted on giving birth to that child. li xiwu looked at gu lanshi, she asked after some hesitation, is the child i gave birth to youyou? Chapter 339 - Chapter 339: Pei Jingzhou Is the Qualified Husband chapter 339: pei jingzhou is the qualified husband translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations actually, li xiwu already had an answer in her heart. youyou was the child she gave birth to back then. it was just that she didnt know what happened later that caused her to part with youyou. later on, she experienced that turmoil and lost her memory after returning to the country. she completely forgot about the existence of that child. no, losing her memory she did not lose her memory because of that turmoil. pei jingzhou had asked the hypnotist to seize her past memories and seal them. now do you know why i want you to regain your memories? gu lanshi said to her. li xiwu was stunned. she didnt react at all. gu lanshi stood up and walked to li xiwu, then squatted down in front of her. he looked up at her. you did intend to hide it from pei jingzhou after you got pregnant, but its obvious that you cant hide it. the reason why i said that pei jingzhou didnt know about your pregnancy was because i wanted you to come over. if i hadnt said that, you probably wouldnt have come. with that, gu lanshi reached out and held li xiwus hand. pei jingzhou knew what happened back then. he hated me, so after he took you away, he erased all your past memories. before this, i didnt know that he had taken you away. i could only take youyou to various places until i realized that he had hidden you by his side. li xiwu did not move and let gu lanshi hold her hand. his grip tightened bit by bit, enveloping her hand firmly in his. li you. gu lanshi called li xiwus name in a low voice. i couldnt bear to disturb you when i saw that you had a new life, but youyou often asked me why her mother didnt want her. i blamed myself and didnt know how to tell her. its not that her mother didnt want her, but li xiwu pursed her lips. gu lanshi. gu lanshi stared at her. li xiwu said softly, dont lie to me. gu lanshi was stunned. li xiwu repeated, youd better not lie to me. with that, li xiwu broke free from his hand, her expression colder than before. i hate lying the most. ill recover my memories. if the memories i remember are different from what you say, do you know the consequences? gu lanshi suddenly smiled. li xiwu asked, what are you laughing at? gu lanji said, im laughing, because time can indeed change a person. four years ago, you could still give birth to youyou without pei jingzhou knowing. four years later, you can also disown youyou because of pei jingzhou. the words sounded self-deprecating. in fact, it was also gu lanshis mockery. li xiwu seemed to be agitated by this sentence. her emotions clearly fluctuated greatly, and she subconsciously retorted, its not that i dont acknowledge my daughter. gu lanshi smiled. is that so? but the premise is that i have to confirm if youyou is my daughter, li xiwu said. gu lanshi slowly stood up. yes, you should indeed confirm if youyou is your daughter first. the truth cant be based on my words. i have to let you see the truth with your own eyes. as gu lanshi spoke, he raised his hand and looked at his watch. its almost five oclock. you should go back. if youre late, pei jingzhou will probably look for you, right? li xiwu also stood up. when are you going to let me see youyou? gu lanshi said, tomorrow. li xiwu frowned. gu lanshi raised his hand and reached out to li xiwu, subconsciously wanting to smooth her frown. just as his hand was about to approach, li xiwu instinctively dodged. gu lanshis hand froze in midair. then, he said, dont keep frowning. it would have been better if she hadnt said anything. once she did, li xiwu frowned even more. gu lanshi retracted his hand and hung it unnaturally by his side. he continued to finish what he had not finished. come here at two-thirty tomorrow. ill take you to pick youyou up. then, well do a paternity test. li xiwu asked in confusion, pick up? who did you leave youyou with? gu lanshi smiled and said helplessly, youyou is already in kindergarten. li xiwu was stunned. gu lanshi said, children can go to kindergarten after the age of three. if their parents are capable, they will also go to early school in advance. youyou is already four years and three months old. she is already in kindergarten. li xiwu shook her head. sorry, i dont know. she had never taken care of a child before, so she naturally ignored the fact that a child had already gone to kindergarten at the age of four. she even wondered how she could make up for the four years she had missed if youyou was really her daughter. gu lanshi saw li xiwus guilty expression and reminded her, i wont tell youyou that youll pick her up tomorrow. li xiwu didnt ask why. she was just wondering if gu lanshi was afraid that she would snatch youyou away. gu lanshi could tell what li xiwu was thinking and explained, if i tell youyou in advance, what if you dont come tomorrow? will her happiness turn into nothing? li xiwu said firmly, ill come. gu lanshi said, no one can say for sure about last-minute changes, even if you swear now. if you can come tomorrow, just come to my place at 2:30. youyous school end at 3:00 sharp. li xiwu did not know what she was feeling when she left gu lanshis house. she returned to the car for a long time, still in a daze. buzz. buzz. yuanyuan sent her a wechat message asking when she was going back. li xiwu replied: on the way back to the company. after sending the voice message, she tossed the phone onto the passenger seat and prepared to drive back to the office. after a moment, she took the phone back, found the call history, and dialed qiao qiaos number. she couldnt drive in her current state. she might as well relieve her mood. qiao qiao could enlighten her. as long as qiao qiaos phone was by her side, she would always answer li xiwus call immediately. at this moment, qiao qiao, who picked up the phone, still didnt know what had happened to li xiwu. she called out crisply. bae~ did you miss me? li xiwu nodded and said, i miss you. qiao qiao said, theres nothing i can do even if you miss me. i can only strive to return to the capital as soon as possible. when the time comes, ill hug you and kiss you a few times. dont mind my saliva. li xiwu forced a smile. mm. through the phone, qiao qiao couldnt sense li xiwus emotions. she talked to herself. gradually realizing that li xiwu had stopped talking, qiao qiao realized that something was wrong and quickly asked, bae, whats wrong? did something upset you? li xiwu was a little distracted. hearing qiao qiaos caring words, she said softly, its nothing. qiao qiao said, cut it out. if youre honest, ill forgive you. if you resist, ill punish you severely. li xiwu smiled. qiaoer. qiao qiao said, huh? li xiwu asked, what do you think of pei jingzhou? qiao qiao immediately realized the crux of the problem. did you quarrel with president pei? no, she denied automatically. qiao qiao said, youre still denying it. you must have quarreled when you suddenly mentioned president pei. li xiwu didnt explain. why dont you answer me first? well, are you referring to president peis external appearance, or his wealth? or in some other aspects? qiao qiao asked. li xiwu said, lets talk about your evaluation of him. qiao qiao thought for a moment. president pei is rich, handsome, and a qualified husband. back then, you thought you were a substitute, but he was so good to you. but now everythings out, youre not a substitute. hes so good to you. li xiwu smiled. your evaluation is quite high. qiao qiao chuckled. although president pei is a little dictatorial and fierce, the truth cant be twisted. im telling the truth. li xiwu took a deep breath and asked slowly, then if, i mean, if you had someone like pei jingzhou by your side who was so good to you, would you still fall in love with someone else easily? qiao qiao immediately grasped the crux of the problem. bae, did you cheat? li xiwu: Chapter 340 - Chapter 340: Crying and Chasing chapter 340: crying and chasing translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations for a moment, li xiwu did not know what expression to show. thinking about how qiao qiao wasnt in front of her now, she could only smile bitterly to herself in the end. qiao qiao didnt hear li xiwus voice and called out twice. li xiwu barely came back to her senses. im listening. go on. qiao qiao said, urn is it convenient for you to tell me the exact situation now? that sentence just now was a joke. qiao qiao guessed that something had happened to li xiwu now. otherwise, why was she so distracted when she picked up a call?! li xiwu took down her cell phone and looked at the screen. then, she said, to cut a long story short, i dont know how to explain this matter clearly. ill call you later. if you dont receive my call later, then ill call you another day. qiao qiao said, it seems that what you encountered this time is a little complicated. li xiwu smiled. a little. there was not enough time, so li xiwu could only hang up first. on xingzhous side. qiao qiao stared at the cell phone in a daze. she didnt hear shao jingmo call her several times from behind. shao jingmo walked up to qiao qiao. seeing that she was staring at the phone with the screen off in a daze, he leaned forward slightly and called out to her, qiao guigui. the voice was very close to qiao qiao. qiao qiao suddenly came back to her senses and looked up to see shao jingmo, who had appeared in front of her at some point. she continued to be stunned for a long time. shao jingmo looked at her. what are you thinking? qiao qiao replied, what to eat tonight. shao jingmo asked, have you thought about it? qiao qiao shook her head. shao jingmo turned around. then lets go. qiao qiaos mind was still a little unclear. she agreed in a daze and followed shao jingmo. as she walked, she stopped and looked at shao jingmo, who was walking in front of her. where are we going? shao jingmo stopped and turned to look at her. he stared at her for a few seconds, a smile tugging at his lips. if youd been any slower, id have sold you for money by now. qiao qiao pouted. so where are you taking me now? shao jingmo reminded her, think about what to eat tomorrow night. its too late tonight. lets start eating immediately. qiao qiao rubbed her brow with her fingertips and lowered her eyes. oh, i forgot. shao jingmo said, lets go. qiao qiao removed her hand and took a few steps forward to stand in front of shao jingmo. she frowned at him. um shao jingmo, i want to discuss something with you. shao jingmo asked directly, you want to return to the capital? qiao qiaos eyes widened. you eavesdropped on my call? i just happened to hear it. he looked matter-of-fact. so its not exactly eavesdropping. qiao qiao restrained her voice a little and didnt take him seriously. she said directly, then can i go back to the capital? just for two days. shao jingmo asked calmly, do you like the capital more than xingzhou? qiao qiao fiddled with her fingers and lowered her head slightly. she replied in a muffled voice, ive lived in the capital for more than three years after all. back then, i had no relatives or friends and had to crawl from the bottom. the most important three years of my life were in that place. i still have a deep relationship with it. she deliberately said it so sincerely. it was because she felt that as long as she reasoned with him, shao jingmo should be able to understand. he could agree to return to the capital for a few days. with her grandfather, shao jingmo would cooperate with her and it would not take long. if she left just like that and shao jingmo didnt agree, her grandfather would be angry. if he was angry, his condition would worsen. then she really deserved to die. she looked at shao jingmo eagerly, waiting for him to agree. and yet shao jingmo said, no. qiao qiaos face fell immediately. arent you going to help me with this small favor? shao jingmo looked at her calmly. no. qiao qiao asked, why not? shao jingmo did not explain and simply rejected it. then, he turned around and left. qiao qiao quickly chased after him. as she maintained the distance between them, she said, grandpas condition has been very stable these past two days. can i just go back to the capital for two days? ill be back in two days. if grandpa asks in the next two days, just say that i went out to play. shao jingmo, just take it that shao jingmo stopped. qiao qiao almost bumped into shao jingmo. she barely stabilized herself and thought that he was going to agree. her face lit up. i knew it before she could finish, she was suddenly interrupted by shao jingmo he turned around and said to her in a cold voice, stay in xingzhou. other than that, dont even think about going anywhere other than xingzhou. with that, shao jingmo left. qiao qiao pouted and her eyes immediately turned red. she cried spinelessly as she chased after shao jingmo. shao, cant you promise me this once? just treat it as the first thing ill ask of you after we get married. shao jingmo, shao jingmo, little uncle shao jingmo walked very quickly, and qiao qiao chased after him while crying. she couldnt catch up at all. not only could she not catch up, but she also tripped and knelt on the ground. qiao qiaos face turned pale from the pain and she cried even more aggrievedly. shao jingmo, you bastard! qiao qiao wiped her tears and scolded. however, he was already far away and probably could not hear what she was scolding. qiao qiao was angry and aggrieved. she rubbed her aching knee, but the more she rubbed, the more painful it became. when she rolled up her trouser leg, she saw that the skin was broken, red, and some blood was seeping out. jiang lin walked over from somewhere and bent down to help qiao qiao up. qiao qiao looked up and saw that it was her mother. at that moment, the grievances she had suppressed in her heart doubled. mom jiang lin sighed softly. get up first. qiao qiao leveraged herself up slowly. there was a burning pain in her knee, and she frowned in discomfort. tears fell like broken beads. jiang lin raised her hand to wipe the tears off qiao qiaos face. its useless to cry. youve grown up alone for the past three years. havent you learned this principle? qiao qiao fell silent and looked at jiang lin in a daze. jiang lin held her carefully. come, go in first. ill apply some medicine for you. youre so lively, but what if your wound gets infected later? qiao qiao felt even worse. she was clearly in her own house, but she did not have the freedom and had to submit to others. she could actually just walk away. shao jingmo might not be able to stop her. however, she was worried about her grandfather. this was her weakness, so she had to listen to shao jingmo now. only then could she coax her grandfather. after sitting down on the sofa, jiang lin took the medicine box from the drawer and opened it to find the iodophor. she carefully rolled up qiao qiaos pants. the broken skin was even redder than before. not much blood seeped out. the trouser leg had rubbed against it and smeared some around the wound. jiang lin frowned. it hurts a little. bear with it. qiao qiao said, what if i cant help it? jiang lin said, then you cant bite your mother, right? qiao qiao chuckled and sighed. mom, do you think im spineless? a little. jiang lin adjusted the iodophor spray in her hand. but youre a girl. you dont have to have too much backbone. you just have to look beautiful. qiao qiao asked, why? jiang lin smiled knowingly. because girls are born to be unreasonably beautiful.. Chapter 341 - Chapter 341: Pei Jingzhou, Sorry chapter 341: pei jingzhou, sorry translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations on the way back to lake lu, li xiwus distracted look was too obvious. she had realized it herself, but pei jingzhou had never asked her a word. the car arrived at lake lu. she followed pei jingzhou up the elevator. she opened the door and entered the house. there were no lights, which proved that the auntie was not here today. li xiwu took out her phone from her bag. ill call auntie over to cook. pei jingzhou said, ill do it. he placed the phone on the cabinet in the entryway and turned to her. what do you want to eat tonight? li xiwu looked at him and asked, arent you tired? pei jingzhou replied, im not tired. li xiwu fell silent. pei jingzhou naturally placed his hand on the back of li xiwus waist. go in. li xiwu nodded and returned to the bedroom with her bag. pei jingzhou followed her in and took off his jacket before going out. he did not mention anything else. li xiwu actually hoped that pei jingzhou would ask her. the more he didnt ask anything now, the more guilty and uneasy she felt. she kept wanting to say something, but she couldnt find the right place to start the conversation. thinking about it carefully, even if she found an entry point to the conversation, what should she say? say that she went to see gu lanshi today? say that she knew that it was very likely that she had a daughter with someone else in her early years? say that she might have betrayed his feelings? which sentence could be said? she couldnt say a word. she was depressed and in pain. she felt stifled and uncomfortable alone. she told herself that she would be fine when tomorrow was over. but if youyou was really her daughter, how was she going to face pei jingzhou in the future? her mind was in a whirl. the sink in front of her was full of water. she only realized belatedly that it was overflowing and dripping onto the floor. she turned off the water and looked in the mirror in front of her. suddenly, she looked very unfamiliar like this. she came out of the bedroom. there was no sign of pei jingzhou in the living room. knowing that he was in the kitchen, li xiwu slowed down a little and walked towards the kitchen. the ingredients were placed in the fridge by the auntie during the day. pei jingzhou matched them slightly. it seemed to be two dishes and a soup. the soup was simmering in the pot, and a hot dish was cooking in the pan. pei jingzhou stood in front of the sink cleaning the vegetables he had just chosen. he was wearing a white shirt and an apron, and his cuffs were rolled up on his arms. he was focused and serious as he washed the vegetables. such a high and mighty person was willing to cook for her because he loved her. that was why he was willing. li xiwu stood quietly at the side for a long time until pei jingzhou discovered her existence. he put the washed vegetables on the shelf to dribble. are you hungry? he asked her. li xiwu pursed her lips. no. pei jingzhou looked up at her. youre usually as far away from me as possible when i cook. why are you still here today? his reminder reminded li xiwu of how far away li xiwu was every time pei jingzhou cooked personally. she did not like to cook at home, especially in front of pei jingzhou. she was afraid that he would ask her to accompany him, so she avoided him every time. she smiled. im bored anyway. pei jingzhou took the garlic and placed it on the chopping board. he asked casually, you encountered a problem on the first day you went back to work after the show? li xiwu said softly, there are a lot of things that are piling up on my hands. some of them are quite troublesome. pei jingzhou turned around and stir-fried the hot dishes in the pot. he picked up the pan and plated them. he brought the hot dishes over and took a pair of chopsticks. try them and see how they taste. li xiwu said, hmm? pei jingzhou said, when the taste buds taste the best delicacy, the body will relax physically and mentally. dont think about troublesome things for the time being. li xiwu raised an eyebrow. best delicacy? pei jingzhou said, ive always been confident in my culinary skills. li xiwu reached out and took the chopsticks. then i want to try it. this hot dish was braised pork ribs in sauce. there was really no problem with the taste. it would not be a problem to put it in a restaurant. this was li xiwus affirmation of pei jingzhous culinary skills. usually, at least one person in a family knows how to cook. li xiwu put down her chopsticks. there are two people in our family. pei jingzhou asked, which two? li xiwu said, hmm? pei jingzhou said, isnt it just me? li xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. she thought about the braised pork ribs just now. fourth brother, your culinary skills can be passed down in the future. i think so too. pei jingzhou washed his hands and came over. he picked up the pair of chopsticks that li xiwu had used just now and picked up a piece of pork rib to try. not bad. do you allow me to praise myself? li xiwu said, you dont have to praise yourself. ill praise you. fourth brother, your culinary skills are especially outstanding. eat it once and itll leave a rich aftertaste. pei jingzhou smiled. then lets adopt a child in the future. when hes ten years old, ill start teaching him how to cook. isnt ten too early? li xiwu asked without thinking. pei jingzhou said seriously, if you adopt a daughter, theres no need to teach her. the first test for a son-in-law in the future is culinary skills. ill check it myself. li xiwu felt that this was fine. the atmosphere was just right. when the dishes were served, pei jingzhou opened a bottle of red wine. although pei jingzhou controlled her alcohol tolerance, li xiwu still drank more than usual. her alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with, and pei jingzhou drank more than her, but he was extremely sober. unlike li xiwu, who was already slightly tipsy after eating and drinking. pei jingzhou combed her long hair and moved it back. he hooked his long arm around her waist and carried her to the sofa. lie down for a while. ill go clean up. li xiwu did not let go of pei jingzhous neck and called his name softly. pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou nodded and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. the sofa was very soft. li xiwus weak and boneless body was trapped in it, while pei jingzhou pressed against her. she looked up and met his gaze. pei jingzhous eyes were gentle, and there seemed to be a faint smile on his lips. he asked her, are you drunk? li xiwu slowly opened her hand. im not drunk. im sober. the smile on pei jingzhous lips deepened. then see if my eyes are open or closed. li xiwu really took a closer look. they stared at each other for a moment before she reacted. she pushed his chest neither gently nor forcefully and muttered, go away. pei jingzhou smiled and stood up. he rolled up his sleeves and rubbed her hair before turning to clean up the dining table. li xiwu was nestled on the sofa in a daze. she did not know how long she had been in a daze. the seat beside her collapsed slightly. she did not need to look sideways to know that pei jingzhou was here. she reached over, and pei jingzhou caught her outstretched hand and leaned closer to her. are you sleepy? li xiwu said in a muffled voice, a little. pei jingzhou reached out with his other hand and held her waist. then shall i carry you back to the bedroom to sleep? li xiwu shook her head. im a little sleepy, but i cant sleep. with that, she slowly got up and leaned against pei jingzhou. the moment she leaned over, pei jingzhou raised his arm so that she could lean more comfortably. li xiwu felt at ease when she smelled his scent she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist and murmured, pei jingzhou, im sorry Chapter 342 - Chapter 342: His Love Is Gentleest chapter 342: his love is gentleest translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu said this unconsciously. when pei jingzhou asked her why she was sorry, li xiwu suddenly grabbed pei jingzhous wrist tightly. the next second, she sat up and stared at him in a daze. pei jingzhou asked softly, whats wrong? li xiwus breathing tightened. what, what, what did i just say? seeing li xiwu like this, pei jingzhou chuckled. have you forgotten what you said? li xiwu swallowed and looked a little nervous. pei jingzhou could tell that something was wrong and asked gently, is there anything you want to tell li xiwu subconsciously shook her head. perhaps it was because the heater was too strong, or because her body heated up easily after drinking, or because she was nervous, a thin layer of sweat appeared on li xiwus forehead. after a short period of consciousness, she felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body. when she got up, she could not focus. pei jingzhou supported her. where do you want to go? li xiwu replied in a low voice, im tired. i want to go to sleep. with that, pei jingzhou carried her back to the bedroom. he placed her on the bed and removed her slippers. he considerately adjusted the pillow so that she could lie more comfortably. when he was done, he slowly got up. li xiwu held his hand and refused to let go. pei jingzhou said gently, im not leaving. only then did li xiwu release his hand. pei jingzhou sat by the bed and accompanied her for a while. only when she barely fell asleep did he get up and go to the bathroom. that night, li xiwu did not sleep well. she even had a nightmare. in her dream, she was standing on the edge of a cliff with a baby in her arms. the baby was crying loudly. she was at a loss and did not know how to coax him. in the blink of an eye, pei jingzhou appeared in front of her and reached out to snatch the baby from her arms. she was unwilling to give the baby to pei jingzhou. at this moment, pei jingzhou questioned her, why did you betray me? she shook her head, looking very helpless. her lips moved repeatedly, wanting to explain something, but she did not know how to explain it to pei jingzhou. at this moment, the baby in her arms was snatched away by pei jingzhou. she wanted to snatch the baby back, but pei jingzhou raised the baby and questioned her, is this the evidence that you betrayed me? she shook her head in tears. no, no the next second, pei jingzhou threw the baby off the cliff without hesitation in front of her. her eyes widened. dont the moment she shouted, li xiwu woke up. all she could see was darkness. she couldnt see anything. she was breathing rapidly when the lights suddenly lit up. she subconsciously closed her eyes, and the hand that reached out from beside her blocked her eyes, covering her from the sudden light. li xiwu was drenched in sweat. she slowly opened her eyes to adjust to the light, but she saw pei jingzhous hand blocking her eyes. pei jingzhous voice sounded. did you have a nightmare? li xiwu was sweating profusely and her heart was beating like a drum. when she heard pei jingzhous voice, she did not feel at ease. instead, she shrank back in fear and avoided pei jingzhous touch. seeing this, pei jingzhous hand froze in midair for a moment. li xiwu came back to her senses and realized that her careless behavior had hurt pei jingzhou. she explained, i-i had a nightmare just now. this nightmare is very scary. i havent recovered yet. pei jingzhou looked down at her. am i in the nightmare? this question stumped li xiwu. she was stunned and speechless. pei jingzhou reached out to her. li xiwu understood and slowly reached out her hand and placed it in his palm. then, she moved her body over bit by bit and leaned into pei jingzhous arms. the fear from before dissipated, and she felt much more at ease now. her soft voice asked, what time is it? pei jingzhou looked at the digital clock on the bedside table. its 5:07 in the morning. its still early. sleep a little longer. to be honest, li xiwu could no longer sleep. although she felt a little more at ease, she felt uneasy when she closed her eyes. she leaned against pei jingzhous arm and searched for a more comfortable position, like a cat in his arms. as she arched, she heard pei jingzhou grunt. stunned, she looked up at him. pei jingzhous gaze was subtle. li xiwu knew that she had provoked him early in the morning, so she did not plan to extinguish the fire just like that. she took the opportunity to support his arm and climb up, placing her arm on his shoulder. pei jingzhou looked down at her. mm? a sound came from the tip of his nose, echoing in li xiwus heart. seeking something urgently, she took the initiative to raise her head and kiss him. actually, what should have happened last night should have happened naturally. because of that small episode, it had been moved to this morning. it was not too late. the atmosphere was gradually getting better. it was very suitable. li xiwu was selfish, so she took the initiative to kiss pei jingzhou. although pei jingzhou did not respond inch by inch and allowed her to do whatever she wanted, the situation was about to become a mess. at the critical moment, he pressed her hand down and pushed her away. sleep a little longer, or you wont be able to get up later. li xiwu looked at him steadily. pei jingzhou knew what she meant, but she did not expect him to reject her. he made her anxious and pushed him back. pei jingzhou, dont you want to? pei jingzhou did not answer. li xiwu said directly, i want to. pei jingzhous eyes darkened, and his voice was low and heavy. are you sure? li xiwu said in a muffled voice, i cant sleep anymore. i cant just get up and sit here in the cold and count the hours until dawn. pei jingzhou laughed. so i became a tool? do you want to be this tool? she asked. pei jingzhou did not say if he wanted to or not. he had always proven it with his actions. he flipped over and pressed li xiwu under him, taking the initiative. the lights werent turned off. they were switched to warm-toned lights, flickering as figures bobbed up and down. li xiwu was not sleepy at first. after that, she fell asleep. pei jingzhou, on the other hand, was full of energy. he carried her to take a shower and even fed her water to moisten her throat. when he returned to bed, he was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he put on her pajamas before leaving. pei jingzhou was buttoning his shirt as he came out of the bedroom. there were three unbuttoned ones left, so casually open. he picked up the phone hed left on the sofa the night before it was after six-fifty. soon it would be seven. he found chen xins number and dialed it. in less than two to three seconds, chen xin picked up the phone and shouted in a low voice, mr. pei. pei jingzhou asked, did you see it? chen xin said, after madam left yesterday, gu lanshi didnt go out again. pei jingzhou walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the neon lights outside. he didnt go out last night either? chen xin replied, no. pei jingzhou said, then continue guarding. chen xin hesitated for a moment before asking, mr. pei, will you go over when madam goes to see gu lanshi again today? pei jingzhou lowered his voice. if she goes again, stop her. chen xin said, yes. pei jingzhou frowned and said softly, forget it. chen xin was stunned. huh? the sky lit up quickly. in the blink of an eye, the first rays of dawn appeared. pei jingzhou turned around and walked towards the kitchen. its dawn. i have to make breakfast for her. chen xin: Chapter 343 - Chapter 343: Pei Jingzhou: 1 Only Trust Her chapter 343: pei jingzhou: 1 only trust her translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu had woken up too late today and missed the companys morning meeting. she had been at ease recording the show for a month. now that she had officially returned to work and was still absent, the internal executives would not say anything on the surface, but it was inevitable that they would discuss it in private. after the meeting, li xiwu returned to the office and began to get busy. during this period, she would always look at the time from time to time. it was clearly still very early, but she was always afraid of accidentally missing it. lunch was treated by qi jiangchi. li xiwu was distracted and did not know how to eat, so she ate very slowly. qi jiangchi saw the clues and asked her, you were in a good mood yesterday. whats wrong today? li xiwu looked up. personal matter. it was impossible for qi jiangchi not to know about the official matters, so it could not be explained. she could only brush it off with the excuse of personal matters. when qi jiangchi heard that it was a private matter, he naturally wouldnt ask about it. he stretched out his hand and pushed the lions head on the plate in front of li xiwu. this lions head tastes very good. ill leave these two for you. li xiwu glanced at it. too much. im afraid i cant eat. qi jiangchi frowned. then youre eating too little. has your appetite been so bad recently? li xiwu shook her head. no. qi jiangchi smiled and stood up. eat more. you look much more haggard after recording a show. those who dont know might think that im pressuring you as the boss. with that, qi jiangchi prepared to leave. li xiwu stopped him. president qi. qi jiangchi turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly. go ahead. li xiwu put down her chopsticks. i have something to deal with in the afternoon. i . . . go, qi jiangchi said. li xiwu lowered her eyes slowly. okay. qi jiangchi smiled and left. li xiwu looked at the plate of braised lions head in front of her and had no appetite no matter how she looked at it. however, because qi jiangchi had specially saved it for her, she forced herself to eat one. she endured till past noon. she endured a little more. at two oclock, li xiwu took the elevator straight down to the garage. she had a good memory. she had gone to gu lanshis house yesterday, so she didnt need to adjust the gps anymore. she knew that route by memory. she was about to drive out of the parking space when a car drove over from the aisle. li xiwu stopped the car and prepared to let the other party pass first, but the car stopped in front of her and blocked her way. they shouldnt stop her for no reason, so the other party should know her. the one-way glass blocked her view. it wasnt until the car door pushed open that she got a good look at the person getting out. it was actually chen xin. at this moment, chen xin walked over and raised his hand to knock on li xiwus car window. the moment li xiwu saw that it was chen xin, she began to panic. she wondered if pei jingzhou was in the car. she pretended to be calm and lowered the window. assistant chen, why is it you? chen xin smiled. madam, its me. i came here to do something and parked the car here. li xiwu asked casually, have you finished your business? chen xin replied, i just finished my business and was about to return to the company. mr. pei still has a meeting later. i have to rush back to prepare for it. she did not know if chen xin had seen something or if she was feeling guilty, but she felt that chen xin had deliberately mentioned pei jingzhou. li xiwu smiled faintly. then go back quickly. chen xin did not look anxious. madam, did you get off work early? no. li xiwu retracted her gaze and pressed her lips together slightly. she looked no different from usual. im meeting a director to talk about jinzhus new scene. hearing li xiwu mention xue jinzhu, chen xin smiled. jinzhu hasnt tormented you recently, right? li xiwu looked up at chen xin and replied, shes very motivated. she went to all the acting classes i arranged. her mandarin isnt very standard. i even arranged mandarin classes for her. when youre together, you can help her correct her accent more. chen xin nodded. alright, ill pay more attention later. after a few words of conversation, li xiwu thought that it was over. however, chen xin did not seem to have any intention of leaving. li xiwu asked in confusion, assistant chen, is there anything else? chen xin wanted to say something but hesitated. he exhaled and leaned over a little. madam, i know where youre going. as soon as he finished speaking, li xiwus pupils constricted. chen xin hurriedly said, dont be surprised. listen to me first. li xiwu calmed herself down. it was impossible for her to brush chen xin off by pretending not to know what he was talking about now. she had been flustered since chen xin appeared. just now, she felt that chen xin had seen through her. his intuition was right. chen xin really knew a little. she looked up at chen xin. go ahead. seeing that li xiwu had given him time to speak, chen xin immediately said seriously, madam, no matter what, that mr. gu is mr. peis former love rival. youre too close to that mr. gu now. what will mr. pei think if he finds out? li xiwu asked) does pei jingzhou know? chen xin felt a little guilty, but he looked calm and spouted nonsense. he doesnt know. these words sounded honest. li xiwu glanced at the car in front of her. it was not the car pei jingzhou usually took. chen xin usually drove indeterminately. everyone would drive the companys car. pei jingzhou should not be in the car. however, it was impossible for chen xin to say that pei jingzhou did not know. since chen xin knew, how could pei jingzhou not know? if he wasnt in the car, he was in another place, watching her drive to meet another man. chen xin. this time, she called chen xins name. chen xin replied, aye, go ahead, madam. li xiwu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, no matter where pei jingzhou is, tell him for me. ill meet gu lanshi now. ill explain the reason to him tonight. chen xin hesitated. madam are you still going? li xiwu nodded. at this point, chen xin couldnt say anything else. ill pass on madams words to mr. pei. be careful on the way. with that, chen xin turned around and returned to the car. with no obstruction ahead, li xiwu successfully drove out and onto the wide road. chen xin parked the car by the side of the road and watched li xiwus car drive away. it was only when he was almost unable to see the back of the car that he retracted his gaze and turned around. he carefully shouted mr. pei. pei jingzhou had been in the car the entire time, but he did not show his face. pei jingzhou had been looking at li xiwu through the car window for a long time. due to the one-way glass, li xiwu could not see pei jingzhou. chen xin asked in a low voice, should we follow? logically speaking, they should have followed her directly, but pei jingzhous words this morning were unfathomable to chen xin, so he could not make a decision for the time being. he had to ask pei jingzhou for his opinion before driving. pei jingzhou asked slowly, she said that she would come back and explain to me tonight? chen xin nodded. yes. pei jingzhou said, then lets go back. chen xin was stunned. mr. pei, are you really not going to chase after her? pei jingzhous expression was indifferent. i trust her.. Chapter 344 - Chapter 344: Using All Sorts Of Methods Just For Today chapter 344: using all sorts of methods just for today translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jingzhous words stopped chen xin from persuading him. it also made chen xin realize for the first time what true love was stronger than gold. mr. pei was more loyal to his wife than gold. even if madam went to see another man behind mr. peis back, mr. pei trusted her unconditionally and without a bottom line. li xiwu arrived outside the district where gu lanshi lived at two-thirty sharp. however, she did not go up today. instead, she sat quietly in the car and waited for gu lanshi. until gu lanshis figure appeared in her vision. she lowered the window. take my car. gu lanshi had no objections and got into li xiwus car. li xiwu reached out and tapped on the gps a few times. she glanced sideways and asked, location? gu lanshi said, shouguo kindergarten. li xiwu searched for the location of shuoguo kindergarten on the gps. after locating it, she set off. gu lanshi watched her turn the steering wheel skillfully. i remember that when you were in country t, you were preparing to take the drivers license test. later on, you were delayed because of your pregnancy. i didnt expect you to be so skilled at driving now. li xiwu looked straight ahead, her face expressionless. 1 havent just been breathing for the past four years. gu lanshi choked and only smiled. he looked at her intently and asked, does pei jingzhou know that youre here today? li xiwu said, he knows. gu lanshis lips twitched. is that so? then did he know that youre here to see me? as the car drove on the wide road, li xiwu suddenly tilted the steering wheel when she sped up. right on the heels of that, she straightened it immediately. the car swayed for a moment. gu lanshi frowned. whats wrong? li xiwu smiled and said as she drove, im not that good at driving. i cant be distracted, so i suggest you be quiet. gu lanshi knew what li xiwu meant. it was not that li xiwu was too mean, but she really was not in the mood to deal with gu lanshis words now. she was not distracted, but she would be very frustrated. shuoguo kindergarten was a little far from gu lanshis address. it was about a ten-minute drive. when they arrived, it was 2:55 pm. many parents were already standing outside the kindergarten. li xiwu parked the car and put on a mask and hat. she followed gu lanshi to the kindergarten. recently, her image had been easily recognized outside. wearing a mask to cover her face could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. she turned around and realized that gu lanshi was also wearing a mask. she looked at him quietly for a few seconds. gu lanshi understood and explained, ive been on that show, so i have to avoid unnecessary trouble. li xiwu said, the teacher should know you, right? gu lanshi said, she does, but i have the image of youyous brother. its understandable for me to pick up my sister. li xiwu looked away and turned to look in the direction of the crowd. youve lowered your seniority. gu lanshi suppressed his smile and did not say anything. the architectural style of shuoguo kindergarten was very attractive. it was obvious that the area where it stood belonged to the aristocrats. li xiwu familiarized herself with the surrounding environment and turned to gu lanshi. youyou is attending kindergarten here? gu lanshi replied, yes. li xiwu looked into the kindergarten. the wall was too high to see. gu lanshi, she called out, still looking inside, even though she couldnt see a single child. gu lanshi nodded and said, dont be anxious. they will open the door on time. li xiwu retracted her gaze and looked at him. should i go in and pick youyou up? you wont be able to pick her up if you go. gu lanshi made it clear in advance. i handled the procedures for youyous first day at kindergarten. in addition, auntie lin, who has been taking care of youyou. youve never been here before. the teacher doesnt know you. they have to call me to confirm it again and again and sign some papers. the process will be more troublesome. li xiwu looked away. then go and pick her up. gu lanshi asked, are you in a hurry? li xiwu said truthfully, a little. youyou will be very happy to see you, gu lanshi said. li xiwu pursed her lips. i hope so. after opening the door on time, li xiwu was already prepared to wait. however, gu lanshi suddenly said to her, lets go together. anyway, youre wearing a mask and hat. you dont have to worry about being recognized. li xiwu hesitated for two seconds, then lowered her head and followed. under the teachers command, the children lined up and were picked up by their parents one by one. li xiwu did not need to line up to pick them up. she stood in an empty space and watched quietly. she searched for youyou among the children. youyou was standing at the back. she was carrying a small purple school bag and pulling her hair in boredom. her big watery eyes were rolling. the scene instantly overlapped in front of li xiwus eyes. youyou on the pleasure boat that day and youyou in front of her were the same person. when youvou realized that it was also gu lanshi who came to dick her up today, her eyes instantly lit up and she called out in a crisp voice, brother. the teacher was also surprised to see gu lan. she asked, mr. gu, havent you been busy recently? gu lanshis voice was gentle. not very busy. the teacher said, no wonder youve been picking up youyou more often than before. gu lanshi nodded indifferently and reached out to youyou. youyou ignored gu lanshis hand and went forward to hug gu lanshis leg like a koala. brother, i dont want to eat cake today. i want ultraman. gu lanshi was surprised. ultraman? are you sure its not a beautiful doll? youyou said in a muffled voice, i want ultraman. i want to defeat the monster magnia. gu lanshi bent down and picked youyou up. okay, ill buy it. oh yeah ? youyou raised her fist. charge, charge, charge. buy ultraman, buy ten ultraman, and defeat the monster magnia. gu lanshi agreed gently. okay, well buy ten. he carried youyou and walked towards li xiwu. because li xiwu was wearing a mask and hat, youyou could not recognize her for a moment. even though gu lanshi was carrying her and standing in front of li xiwu, she thought that she was the parent of another child. youyou. as li xiwu called youyous name, youyou stopped gesturing and turned to look at li xiwu. although children had good memories, li xiwu covered most of her face, revealing only her eyes. youyou couldnt recognize her at all. she wrapped her arms around gu lanshis neck and slowly moved back, her eyes gradually becoming guarded. gu lanshi said, shes the older sister. youyou remained silent and buried her face in gu lanshi i s arms. she did not move, like an ostrich. gu lanshi couldnt help but laugh. he looked up and said to li xiwu, lets go out first. its not convenient for you to take off your mask li xiwu replied emotionlessly, yes. after coming out, gu lanshi carried youyou into the car and placed her in the backseat. li xiwu was about to drive when gu lanshi stopped her. sit in the back. li xiwu said, youyou is afraid of me. gu lanshi said, thats because you didnt take off your mask. li xiwu hesitated for a moment before agreeing. she opened the door of the backseat and was about to get in when youyou screamed ah! kidnapping! Chapter 345 - Chapter 345: Relief, Recognition chapter 345: relief, recognition translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu froze. she hesitated whether to go down or continue up. seeing youyou pulling at the car window with a frightened expression, she hesitated and simply sat in. youyou cowered in a corner aggrievedly. im not worth anything. li xiwus pursed lips curved. she took off her mask and hat and said, you look quite valuable to me. i believe you can be sold for a good price. without the mask and hat covering her face, youyou could see li xiwus face clearly. a second ago, her face was filled with fear and grievance. after seeing li xiwus face, she pounced on her and hugged her. is it you, sister? li xiwu was stunned. she knew that youyou was enthusiastic, but to be honest, she didnt know what to feel. her mood seemed to have soared into the clouds. she couldnt describe how she felt, but she was very satisfied. she reached out and cupped youyous chubby face. yes, its sister. youyou beamed, revealing a row of white teeth. is sister here to pick youyou up from school? li xiwu replied, yes. youyou hugged li xiwus arm. youyou missed you so much. li xiwus heart softened. youve only seen me a few times. why would you miss me? youyous heart was filled with li xiwu. because youyou likes sister. childrens likes were very pure. if they liked it, they would express it enthusiastically so that the other party would feel it. if they didnt like it, they would also express it directly. li xiwu realized that youyou liked her for no reason. she came warmly and without any sense of distance. she liked to approach her at first sight. could this be kinship? gu lanshi slowly said, theres a saying that when two people dont know that theyre related by blood, because of some similarities and good impressions, they will develop some sense of identity with each other and build a certain level of trust. although its impossible to explain it with specific science, such a magnetic field reaction will never repel each other. it will also infinitely close the distance between them. li xiwu looked up at him. ive heard that before. gu lanshi turned around. then what do you think? li xiwu pursed her lips. i believe that. if it wasnt for the invisible blood relationship between them, youyou wouldnt have developed a good impression of her and gotten close to her. it was a magnetic field reaction, attracting each other. gu lanshi asked softly, are we going to the hospital first? there was a short silence in the car. after a moment, li xiwu said, lets go to the hospital. since they were going to do a paternity test, it was naturally best to be as fast as possible so that she could feel at ease earlier. youyou asked curiously, why go to the hospital? youyou isnt sick. it was probably a common problem for most children. they were always nervous when they heard that they were going to the hospital. they were afraid of doctors in white coats, and they were even more afraid of injections. li xiwu carried youyou to sit on her lap and gently held her hand. lets go to the hospital for a checkup. ill always be with you. gu lanshi looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror. you didnt lie to her. usually, if youyou is sick, i have to coax her to take her to the hospital. li xiwu snapped, do you know the story of the wolf coming? gu lanshi smiled. alright, alright. i wont interrupt. tell her nicely. youyou pressed her head against li xiwus arm and said in a low voice, can i not go to the hospital? youyou, dont you want ultraman? ill buy it for you when you go to the hospital, okay? li xiwu said. youyous eyes lit up, but she quickly extinguished it. she struggled internally, but in the end, she compromised. okay. li xiwu leaned over and kissed youyous forehead. good girl. youyou liked li xiwus closeness and looked up. can i kiss you? li xiwu hadnt smiled so happily in a long time. sure. gu lanshi looked deeply into the rearview mirror. wasnt this the moment when time was peaceful? at this moment, he remembered that he had received a call from pei jingzhou before li xiwu came in the afternoon. pei jingzhous words on the phone were especially clear [youve tried everything. ill wait for you to work.] thats right. he had always been the one doing everything possible. even if pei jingzhou did not have to do anything, li xiwus scale would always side with pei jingzhou unconditionally. what was he fighting for? what could he fight for? ha. the fastest way to do a paternity test was to draw blood. the results would be out in three hours. youyou cried when she drew blood. she cried so hard in li xiwus arms that she was out of breath. gu lanshis heart did not ache when he saw this. instead, he wanted to laugh. the last time she had an injection, she clearly comforted other children. this time, shes clearly being delicate in front of you. li xiwu pursed her lips and said with a serious expression, whats wrong with a girl being delicate? youyou sobbed and snorted. thats right. whats wrong? gu lanshi: at this moment, the nurse came to ask gu lanshi if he wanted to draw blood. li xiwu looked at him. gu lanshi was silent for a moment before replying, go ahead. then, he cooperated with the nurse to take his blood. when it came to doing a paternity test, the man usually suspected that the child was not his, so he brought her here for the paternity test. the nurse looked at gu lanshi with some pity, but she looked at li xiwu meaningfully. fortunately, they were both wearing masks. li xiwu was a little speechless, but there was nothing to explain. after agreeing to take youyous blood and buy her ultraman, li xiwu brought youyou out. afraid that gu lanshi would do something, li xiwu called gu lanshi away. the three long hours were not long for li xiwu. only gu lanshi was occasionally distracted. li xiwu found an opportunity to tease him. its not easy for you to tamper with the results when im watching you all the time, right? gu lanshi was very calm. i didnt think of tampering with it. li xiwu glanced at him. youd better really think so. gu lanshi smiled bitterly. it turns out that im a completely bad person in your heart now. li xiwu raised an eyebrow. ive never doubted my judgment. if i really liked you back then, i should have been blind. gu lanshi: after six oclock, the paternity test results came back. li xiwu had to go back to the hospital to get the results. she held youyous hand and asked, can these ultraman defeat the magnia monster? youyou carried three ultraman in her arms and a small one around her neck. were still short of meteorites. magnias weakness is meteorites. li xiwu looked up at gu lanshi. gu lanshi took a deep breath. okay, ill go buy it. after buying it, youyou was satisfied. when they returned to the hospital, the doctor looked more sympathetic when he handed the test results to gu lan. he even said, you should talk nicely. gu lanshi smiled bitterly and came to li xiwu with the test results. li xiwu reached out to take it. what did the doctor say? gu lanshi did not give it to her. the doctor sympathizes with me. li xiwu was puzzled. sympathy? gu lanshi smiled. but im very happy today. li xiwu pursed her lips and remained silent. only then did gu lanshi hand her the results. im really happy. at least this day belongs to you, me, and youyou. li xiwu took it. so? gu lanshi gestured. look for yourself. li xiwu did not know if it was her imagination, but she saw relief in gu lanshis eyes. it was the kind of relief that came from being relieved of a burden. she glanced at youyou, who was playing ultraman alone at the side, then at gu lanshi. then, she opened the appraisal results. after reading the two results, li xiwu put them away. gu lanshi saw that there was no expression on her face and asked, how is it? li xiwu stared at gu lanshi for a moment before saying, thank you. gu lanshi looked at her impatiently. do you feel relieved? li xiwu pursed her lips. its fine. i have nothing to do with youyou. are you very happy that you and youyou are mother and daughter? gu lanshi asked with a faint smile. li xiwu added, as long as its not yours. gu lanshi choked on a laugh. i feel even worse when you say that. li xiwu turned to hug youyou. gu lanshi stopped her. i can make you happier. li xiwu was stunned. she turned to look at him. what? gu lanshi smiled. take youyou back and do another paternity test with pei jingzhou. youll know.. Chapter 346 - Chapter 346: Get Pei Jingzhou to Transfer Money. Raising a Child Cost Money chapter 346: get pei jingzhou to transfer money. raising a child cost money translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations before the paternity test results were out, the answer in li xiwus heart was close to the mark. she thought she needed a moment to accept it. however, after seeing the dna proof that youyou was her biological daughter, she realized that she had quickly accepted this fact and was even indescribably happy. however, rejoicing took up more of her heart. she knew from her dream that she had been pregnant, but no one around her knew, which meant that the child she had given birth to was unknown. now, she saw the child she had given birth to back then, and she was alive and kicking in front of her. how could she not rejoice? however, when she thought about how the daughter she gave birth to back then was born with gu lanshi, her mood sank again. however, she probably never expected the results to be reversed. her mother-daughter relationship with youyou was established, but gu lanshis father-daughter relationship with youyou was not. in other words, gu lanshi was not youyous biological father at all. the moment she found out about this result, li xiwu did not have the slightest anger from being deceived by gu lanshi. she only felt relieved for a moment. her emotions had fluctuated in just a few seconds, so she was very calm after reading the results. as for the turmoil in her heart, only she knew. she was not in a hurry to find youyous biological father again. what she had to do now was to bring youyou back and do everything she could to make up for the past four years. as for pei jingzhou, she would explain it well. she had already thought of a lot of what to do next. however, gu lanshis words, take youyou back and do another paternity test with pei jingzhou. stunned li xiwu for a long time. youyou and pei jingzhou. she and youyou. so, they were a real family of three. gu lanshi walked closer to li xiwu. seeing that she was unable to come back to her senses because of his words for a long time, he laughed and said, shouldnt this outcome be the outcome you hoped for more? li xiwus eyelids trembled and she reacted slightly. however, she did not reply. she lowered her eyes and thought about something. seeing that li xiwu was silent, gu lanshi smiled self-deprecatingly. actually, its not that important to let youyou and pei jingzhou do another paternity test. you just have to tell him that you gave birth to youyou. lets see what he thinks. li xiwu really thought about it seriously. after bringing youyou back and telling pei jingzhou that she had given birth to her four years ago, how would pei jingzhou react? he had never known that she had been pregnant. would he believe that she had given birth to a daughter when he suddenly found out? with this thought in mind, li xiwu said softly, theres no need for any tests. as long as i say it myself, youyou is my daughter from four years ago. whether shes his biological daughter or not, he will treat youyou as his biological daughter. gu lanshi said, i can tell that you trust him very much. yes, i trust him. li xiwus tone was firm. but this has nothing to do with feelings, it is because hes pei jingzhou. feelings could make a person compromise. however, pei jingzhou could compromise without a bottom line because it was her. even if youyou was really the daughter she had with someone else, pei jingzhou would still treat youyou as his own daughter. she was very sure that she was sad because she could not get over it. the suppressed emotions in gu lanshis chest were completely relieved. i know i caused the torment in your heart these past two days, so i have to apologize to you. li xiwus lips parted, wanting to say, you dont have to gu lanshi said, i have to say it even if i dont have to. im really sorry. li xiwu pursed her lips slightly. every time the two of them looked at each other at such a close distance, she was always the first to look away. this time, she did not look away and just looked at gu lanshi quietly. compared to the depressed mood and conflict from before, i feel more enlightened now. gu lanshi smiled and continued, im a contradictory person. before i lied to you, i thought about it many times. just as i was about to lie to you, i thought that i should tell you the truth. however, my selfishness pulled me back. i always wanted to fight for something. its probably because ive been unwilling for the past four years. li xiwu didnt know what to say, but she caught a flash of disappointment in gu lanshis eyes. she pursed her lips for a moment and said slowly, gu lanshi, vou deserve a better person. gu lanshi observed her expression. i knew youd say that. as soon as he finished speaking, gu lanshi slowly stood up and took two steps back. ive thought about it carefully. continuing to lie to you will only make you sadder, and i wont be happy. since i wont be smug no matter what, then ill satisfy my own selfish desires. im very satisfied to spend a day with you and youyou. gu lanshi looked into li xiwus eyes and said sincerely, so i was telling the truth when i said that i was very happy today. li xiwu felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat. after a while, she said, thank you. ill accept this thank you first. gu lanshi smiled. after all, its not easy to take care of a child in the past four years. although ive hired an auntie, i still have to do many things myself. when you go back, remember to ask pei jingzhou to transfer me a sum of money. its expensive to raise a child. li xiwu was still thinking about what to say to ease the atmosphere. it was only when she heard gu lanshi say that raising a child cost money that she couldnt help but laugh. she agreed. okay, ill talk to him when i get back. youyou. gu lanshi turned around and shouted at youyou, who was sitting there playing ultraman. youyou turned her head. huh? gu lanshi waved gently. come here. youyou listened to gu lanshi and walked over with the ultraman she had just bought today. when youyou approached, gu lanshi squatted down and said to youyou, you wont go home with brother today. youll go home with sister today, okay? youyou looked up at li xiwu and then at gu lanshi. she did not agree immediately. instead, she asked first, is only youyou going? is brother going? gu lanshi shook his head. no. youyous face was wrinkled and she puffed up her cheeks as if she was conflicted about whether to go to her sisters house. seeing the little girls dilemma, gu lanshi said, sister will bring you to her house to play. if you want to come back, call brother. brother will pick you up. this was said with assurance. it was reassuring to hear. youyou stopped struggling and nodded with a smile. okay, okay. gu lanshi reminded her, then you have to be obedient. youyou seemed to find it long-winded, but she still agreed obediently. i will. also, gu lanshi continued to remind her, you have to sleep early tonight. dont disturb sister. youyou rolled her eyes. got it. li xiwu stood at the side and watched quietly. she did not disturb gu lanshi from bidding youyou farewell for the time being. after a few simple instructions, gu lanshi felt a little relieved. he picked youyou up and said to li xiwu, ill send you back. well talk about the rest in the car. li xiwu nodded. okay.. Chapter 347 - Chapter 347: I Said I’d Help You chapter 347: i said id help you translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations outside pei jingzhous office. chen xin stopped he wang, who was about to enter. young master he, i sincerely suggest that you come again another day. its not convenient for mr.pei to see anyone today. whats inconvenient? he wang wanted to go in, but chen xin stopped him. he wang stopped and suddenly asked, is sister-in-law inside? chen xin shook his head. no. he wang asked again, did fourth brother and sister-in-law quarrel? chen xin shook his head. no. he wang continued to ask) its indeed impossible to quarrel. its possible for sister-in-law to scold fourth brother unilaterally, so the current situation is that fourth brother is being scolded by sister-in-law and is autistic inside? chen xin: these questions were very logical, but why did they sound so cowardly? were married men all like this in the eyes of their brothers? no, madam was not a fierce woman! he wang laughed. chen xin asked, young master he, what are you laughing at? he wang looked at chen xins inexplicable expression and snorted. if fourth brother is scolded by sister-in-law, then i have to go in and comfort fourth brother now. usually, brothers feelings are the most sincere at this time. dont worry, im definitely not going to laugh at fourth brother. chen xin knew that he probably couldnt stop he wang anymore. when he moved aside, he muttered softly, why do i feel that youre here to gloat? he wang walked past chen xin. assistant chen, youre judging a gentleman with your own eyes. am i that kind of person? chen xin replied seriously, you look like it. he wang: inside the office, pei jingzhou had just ended a collaboration call and put his phone aside, preparing to continue reviewing the new project when there were a few knocks on the door. pei jingzhou looked up. chen xin walked in, followed by he wang. mr. pei, young master he is here, chen xin said as he came over. mm. pei jingzhou nodded indifferently and retracted his gaze to continue reviewing the new project in his hand. he wang walked over leisurely and walked to his desk. he placed his hands on the table and cleared his throat. fourth brother. pei jingzhou did not even look up. did you win the family assets? the cheap smile on he wangs lips suddenly froze. chen xin, who was standing at the side, suddenly couldnt help but laugh. then, he quickly suppressed the corners of his lips and hid his smile, pretending that nothing had happened. he wang looked at chen xin angrily. what are you laughing at? chen xin was expressionless. im not laughing. he wang, are you hallucinating? before he wang could deny it, chen xin immediately said, i know. young master he, you must have watched too many erotic dramas recently and your body has been hollowed out, causing you to have hallucinations. as he spoke, chen xin said to he wang with a serious expression, young master he, take care of yourself. you still have a long way to go. he wang said, i. f*ck! with that) chen xin slipped away. when he went out, he considerately closed the office door. he wang pulled a chair over gloomily and sat down with his legs crossed. he looked at pei jingzhou, who was seriously reviewing the information. the tip of his tongue touched his cheek and he said, fourth brother, when i came in just now, i was stopped by chen xin. he said that its not convenient for you to see anyone today. pei jingzhou was halfway through his review when he looked up and his cold gaze landed on he wang. what are you trying to say? he wang leaned forward gossipily. fourth brother, did you and sister-in-law quarrel? pei jingzhou said, its none of your business. he wangs expression was brilliant. i guessed right. pei jingzhou snorted. so what if you guessed correctly? so what if you didnt? ive been married for three years. what about you? youre still single. youre not even qualified to mock me. he wangs heart was suddenly hit. he covered his chest with an injured expression. fourth brother, your words are too inhumane. pei jingzhou smiled. its obvious that you came to watch the show first. he wang felt guilty and avoided his gaze, pretending to want to deny it. in the end, pei jingzhou ignored him. he held his breath and moved the chair under his butt. he leaned forward and rested his elbows on the table. fourth brother, lets talk? pei jingzhou had already finished reviewing the new project in his hand and reached out to put it aside. did the old man make another will? he wang clicked his tongue i suspect you secretly planted a wiretap on me. pei jingzhou replied calmly, the only thing you want to talk to me about is your familys matters. after eliminating it a little, thats the only possibility. he wangs sloppy appearance was immediately restrained. the old man plans to make another will. everyone in the he family is more anxious than me now. pei jingzhou asked, arent you anxious? he wang smiled. im not anxious. pei jingzhou saw through it at a glance. the old man suddenly wants to make another will. is it your doing? yes, but not exactly. he wang smiled and the smile on his lips slowly froze. he looked up at pei jingzhou and said irrelevantly, the reason why the nine dragons inheritance competition is so exciting is that every prince is very capable and unwilling to admit defeat. they also think that they can sit in the position of being second only to one person. pei jingzhou said, then do you think you can control the he family? in the past, i was always hesitant. i also felt that so what if i fought for it? but recently, ive figured it out. since i have the ability to fight for it, ill fight for it. since i was born in the he family, theres no point in being a coward for the rest of my life. the final outcome of the nine dragons inheritance competition was very tragic. some died, and some were exiled. it was the same for the he familys family assets. in the end, the loser would not have a good outcome. he wang said, i want to stand in the highest position in the he family. pei jingzhou said in a low voice, i said that i would help you. he wang was still serious a second ago, but in the next second, he returned to his usual unrestrained appearance and replied with a smile, im relieved to hear that, fourth brother. pei jingzhou looked at him. if theres nothing else, you can leave. who said theres nothing else? he wang smiled. old qin has been very free recently. why dont you let him organize dinner tonight? pei jingzhou said, no. what a disappointment. he wang leaned back. old qin has already started going on blind dates because hes too free. pei jingzhou was not interested in this topic. qin zhuonings personality was similar to pei jingzhous. usually, if there was anything, he could just call pei jingzhou and tell him. they would always contact each other on the phone. he was not as wanton as he wang. he would go wherever the commotion was. at this moment, he wang deliberately lowered his voice and said, the blind date is your sister. pei jingzhou glanced at he wang coldly. he wang laughed until he was out of breath. after laughing, he said slowly, didnt old qins mother go on that in-law variety show? old qins mother knew that your mother had a daughter and insisted that her son get to know your mothers daughter. isnt this fate? with that, he wang laughed uncontrollably. old qin is not bad. hell become your brother-in-law.. Chapter 348 - Chapter 348: Li Xiwu: Mine chapter 348: li xiwu: mine translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jingzhou said calmly, it hasnt even begun. he wang slammed the table thats not necessarily true. ivs not like you dont know old qin. he doesnt seem to be interested in anything. sometimes, im really worried about my safety, afraid that old qin will secretly have a crush on me. pei jingzhou glanced at he wang. you remind me of something. he wang was curious. what is it? pei jingzhou smiled. i cant find you on baidu, but i can find you on sogou. he wang: these words were really sarcastic. he wang stood up and continued what he had not finished. old qin is lukewarm. logically speaking, blind dates shouldnt have happened to him at all, but guess what this time? old qin agreed to the blind date and planned to take the initiative to meet pei jiao. at this point, he wang hissed and rubbed his chin with a wicked smile. old qin is holding it in. he must like pei jiao. otherwise, why would he agree to the blind date? i bet that if he pursued pei jiao, it wont be long before he really becomes your brother-in-law. pei jingzhou said calmly, old qin is not bad in all aspects. if pei jiao can have a good impression of him, it will be a good marriage. yeah, i think so too. he wang smiled improperly and said, pei jiao is so noisy. shes very compatible with old qins low-key and calm personality. pei jingzhou looked up at him. are you done? he wang was stunned. huh? pei jingzhou stood up and buttoned his suit jacket. if youre done, leave quickly. i have to go home? with that, pei jingzhou walked out from behind and took his coat. he placed it on the crook of his arm and picked up the cell phone on the table. it was obvious that he was preparing to go home. he wang looked at him eagerly. fourth brother, youre going home now? are you really not going to the party? lets play and relax. pei jingzhou did not turn around and walk out. as he walked, he said, im not like you, free and unfettered. im married. my wife and hot bed are waiting for me. he wang was speechless. this person really wrote im married on his face all the time, as if he was afraid that others wouldnt know! he chased after her and walked beside pei jingzhou. you didnt quarrel with sister-in-law? pei jingzhou asked, did i say anything about me fighting with her? not really. he wang looked at pei jingzhou deeply. after retracting his gaze, he muttered to himself, then what does chen xin mean pei jingzhou did not reply. the car stopped and waited. chen xin opened the car door and pei jingzhou leaned over to get into the car. chen xin was about to close the car door when he wang stopped him. assistant chen. chen xin looked up and smiled professionally. young master he. he wang said, im still standing here, but youre closing the car door. what do you mean? why didnt you ask me if i was getting into the car first? chen xin smiled and replied, young master he, mr. pei is preparing to go home. im afraid its not convenient to take you all the way. who said anything about taking me along? he wang took a few steps down the stairs and pulled chen xin away. he bent down and sat down. i havent seen sister-in-law in a long time. i miss her very much. ill go visit her tonight and have dinner. with that, he prepared to close the car door. chen xin looked troubled and quickly pulled the car door open. young master he, its not appropriate for you to go today. he wang exerted some force. whats inappropriate? let go. chen xin was not relaxed. young master he, come down and talk. he wang turned to look at pei jingzhou. fourth brother, look at him. hes rebelling. pei jingzhou looked frustrated. chen xin could tell that he was about to get angry. he kept looking at he wang and reminding him not to be cannon fodder. however, he wang did not seem to understand chen xins hint at all. no, it wasnt that he couldnt understand. how could he not understand? actually, he had understood and deliberately pretended not to understand. pei jingzhou lowered his voice. alright. chen xin and he wangs hands paused at the same time and they fell silent. pei jingzhou glanced sideways at he wang, but he did not chase him out of the car. he retracted his gaze and closed his eyes to rest. drive. he wang smiled and gave chen xin a smug look. chen xin was speechless, but mr. pei did not chase he wang out. chen xin naturally understood that this was considered tacit approval, so he closed the car door and retreated to the side. on the way back to lake lu, he wang was obedient and did not talk about boring topics. he was still talking about the he family and his recent plans. actually, he wang was shameless because he planned to take this opportunity to talk to pei jingzhou about the he family. they chatted all the way to the door. pei jingzhou opened the door and was about to enter when he suddenly stopped. he wang, who was following behind, said, im already here. dont tell me youll chase me out again when i reach the door? no, he was definitely going to freeload this meal tonight. he walked forward with his head held high. pei jingzhou shouted, wait. he wang didnt notice. by the time he reacted, he had stepped on something. unconcerned, he looked down. it was an ultra toy. he did not manage to stop his feet just now and stepped off one of ultramans arms. he wang bent down and picked it up. he shook the ultraman who had lost an arm in front of his eyes. is a child a guest at fourth brothers house? pei jingzhous gaze landed on the broken ultraman in he wangs hand, and his eyes turned cold. he wang sensed it and said with a dry smile, ill be careful next time. pei jingzhou retracted his gaze and walked in. he wang followed him with ultraman in his hand. is sister-in-law at home? just as he asked this, pei jingzhou raised his hand, indicating for him to be quiet. he wangs eyebrows twitched. he wondered if fourth brother and sister-in-law had really gotten into a conflict. he would just be cannon fodder if he came, right? just as he was thinking this, his gaze was suddenly attracted by two rabbit ears moving behind the sofa. he wangs eyes widened. damn, fourth brother, does your family have a rabbit? a free-range rabbit? rabbits were not rare, but free-range rabbits were rare. the hygiene at home was worrying. pei jingzhou looked in the direction where the rabbit ears appeared and said in a low voice, come out. he wang immediately realized that it was not a rabbit. it seemed to be a child? whose child was it? then a head with furry rabbit ears poked out from behind the sofa. it was indeed a child, a little girl. she had two braids, a bun face, and chubby cheeks. she was also wearing an oversized pair of sunglasses. she was cool and cute. the air went quiet. pei jingzhou vaguely felt that the little girl looked familiar, but the sunglasses were too big and almost covered half of her face. he recognized the rabbit ears as the ones li xiwu usually used to wash her face. the sunglasses also looked like his sunglasses. whose child is this? what was she doing here? just as he was wondering, the little girl moved out from behind the sofa and ran towards pei jingzhou and he wang. she was still holding an ultraman in her hand. before she could speak, her sunglasses slid down, revealing her beautiful eyes. pei jingzhou recognized her. so it was the little girl he had seen on the pleasure boat. but why was she here? youyou put on her sunglasses again and raised the ultraman. she pointed at pei jingzhou and he wang and asked fiercely, who are you? tell me your name. how interesting. he wang chuckled. he walked forward and bent down to ask, hey, whose child are you? youre so arrogant. at this moment, li xiwu had just come out of the kitchen and happened to hear he wang ask this, so she replied, mine.. Chapter 349 - Chapter 349: It’s Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou’s Child chapter 349: its li xiwu and pei jingzhous child translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu was wearing an apron and holding a glass bowl filled with flour and egg juice. she was about to make youyous favorite grapefruit cake. she had ordered grapefruit on the internet at the last minute. when she heard the commotion just now, she thought that the grapefruit delivery had arrived. when she came out, she saw that pei jingzhou was back. he wang, whom she had not seen for a while, was also here. the six eyes met, and the air was briefly silent. he wang was the first to speak. he walked forward with a cheeky smile. sister-in-law, its only been a few days since we last met. why are you becoming more and more beautiful? li xiwu smiled and praised each other. young master he is also more handsome than before. he wang touched his chin. right? i think so too. recently, i cant help but exclaim every time i look in the mirror. the person so handsome in the mirror is actually me. li xiwu suppressed a smile. she looked up at pei jingzhou, who was standing motionless. he was also looking at her. their gazes met briefly, and it was obvious that he was also very puzzled by youyous appearance. but think about it, who wouldnt be puzzled and not surprised when a child they had met once by chance suddenly appeared in their house after a period of time?! sister-in-law, he wang suddenly shouted. li xiwu glanced sideways. huh? he wang had always been friendly and sweet-tongued. he kept calling her sister-in-law so smoothly and nicely. he walked to li xiwus side and pointed at youyou, who was standing there. if i didnt hear wrongly just now, you said that the child is from yours? li xiwu looked calm. yes. he wang hissed and thought for a moment. he felt that he should have guessed it, so he said, this child should be from the mo family, right? only a child of the mo family could explain why li xiwu said, mine. because the mo family was also her family. it made sense. li xiwu took a deep look at he wang and smiled. mine means its mine. why is it from the mo family again? he wang also smiled. how is that possible? its yours. could it be that you and fourth brother gave birth to it? they had only been married for three years, but she had already given birth to a child who was at least three or four years old. it was not reasonable at all, okay? unless fourth brothers head was glowing green. but that was obviously even more impossible. however, li xiwus words were shocking. my child was naturally born with my husband. otherwise, who would i have given birth to it with? as li xiwu finished speaking, the smile on he wangs lips suddenly froze. he turned to look at pei jingzhou, then at the child with a horrified expression. what the f*ck?! he wang almost broke his voice. at this moment, youyou walked around pei jingzhou and walked towards the door. she looked left, then right. when she couldnt find her ultraman, she raised her head and asked in a muffled voice, wheres my tyler? li xiwu was stunned when she heard this and hurried over. when she passed by pei jingzhou, he grabbed her wrist. li xiwu looked up at him. pei jingzhous eyes were very deep. he seemed to have a lot to ask her, and li xiwu knew what he wanted to ask. but it was more important to help youyou find her toys now. she handed the bowl in her hand to pei jingzhou. stir this. i have to use it later. pei jingzhou subconsciously caught the glass bowl. at that moment, li xiwu had already broken free from his hand and walked towards youvou. did you put tyler here just now? li xiwu walked over and squatted down in front of youyou. youyou pointed there. its there. li xiwu looked in the direction youyou was pointing. there was only one arm left on the ground. she thought about how pei jingzhou and he wang had just returned and must have stepped on ultraman. however, where was ultraman with his broken arm? she comforted youyou first. its okay. ill go look for it. ill definitely find it. youyou nodded obediently. mm, mrn li xiwu stood up and walked towards pei jingzhou. when you came in just now, did you see halfway through her sentence, li xiwus gaze landed on the ultraman in he wangs hand. he wang also sensed li xiwus gaze and was looking at the toy in his hand. he slowly raised his hand. uh, it cant be this, right? its my tyler. youyou also saw the ultraman in he wangs hand. she ran over happily and stood on tiptoe to reach out. give it to me, my tyler. he wang smiled and handed the ultraman to youyou. this child is so cute, he wang said sincerely. youyou hugged the ultraman she had just brought back. she was filled with joy for less than three seconds when suddenly, a huge shock appeared on her small face. youyou turned around and walked towards li xiwu. she raised the ultraman in her hand. look. li xiwu saw it. from the moment she saw ultramans broken arm, she guessed that it must have been trampled by pei jingzhou and he wang. she had already thought of how to coax youyou. but now, youyou was carrying the trampled ultraman and holding it up for her to see. her aggrieved expression made li xiwu think of how to coax her. for a moment, she was stuck and did not know how to say it. she knelt down and took the trampled ultraman. this youyou accused he wang aggrievedly, its him! after being pointed at by youyou, he wang immediately felt guilty and wanted to escape. oh no, he seemed to have done something wrong. li xiwu also looked up at he wang. he wang said slowly, uh, shouldnt i do something? li xiwu thought for a moment. then apologize. he wang immediately said to youyou, sorry, child. youyou looked away. hmph. he wang: as expected, children were more stubborn. the word sorry usually did not seem to work. he wang had never coaxed a child before. looking at the little girls aggrieved expression, he was even more anxious than the little girl. he looked at pei jingzhou for help. fourth brother pei jingzhou was expressionless. he still did not understand why this little girl was here. however, li xiwus mine made him think deeply about the true meaning of this word. fourth brother, dont just stand there. its a life-saving moment. he wang walked towards pei jingzhou and took the glass bowl from his hand. he stuffed the ultraman with a broken arm to pei jingzhou. ill stir it. hurry up and think of a solution. that aggrieved gaze makes my heart break. pei jingzhou glanced at him speechlessly. he turned around with the toy in his hand. seeing that li xiwu was also looking at him, he asked in a low voice, whats her name? li xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. fourth brother, you forgot so quickly? i havent forgotten, pei jingzhou said. let me confirm. li xiwu said, youyou. pei jingzhou was too familiar with this name. after the pleasure boat returned, li xiwu had whispered it in his ear several times. she even said that if only she had a cute daughter like youyou. he could not describe his feelings at this moment they were more complicated than puzzled. but now was not the time to ask li xiwu clearly. holding the broken ultraman, he squatted down in front of youyou and called out tentatively, youyou? youyou pouted and looked at pei jingzhou. because she had seen him before, youyou was not unfamiliar with pei jingzhou and was not guarded at all.. Chapter 350 - Chapter 350: Pei Jingzhou: Mine chapter 350: pei jingzhou: mine translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jingzhou was born with a cold face. his expressionless face was always a little scary, making people not dare to approach him. especially that extremely oppressive aura. however, youyou had never been afraid of pei jingzhou since she first met him. although she was not afraid, she was not close to him because she had never interacted with him before. she was still a little unfamiliar. pei jingzhou was also afraid of scaring youyou, so he tried his best to soften his voice. do you still remember me? i remember. youyous voice was muffled) indicating her unhappiness, but she did not forget to answer. hearing that the little guy remembered him, pei jingzhou smiled. we met at the pleasure boat last time. youyou nodded. he wang understood what she meant. so youve only met once. pei jingzhou turned around and glanced at he wang, signaling him with a warning look. he wang consciously zipped his mouth and fell silent. pei jingzhou turned around and his face regained its gentleness. he picked up the ultraman and said, the toy was accidentally stepped on by him. im afraid it cant be fixed. ill get him to buy another one for you. is that okay? youyou pouted. hmph! when he wang heard this snort, his heart tightened. he thought to himself that it was over. the little girl would not reconcile and looked extremely angry. pei jingzhou smiled. cant i compensate you with an identical one? youyou bit her lip and seemed to be thinking. after a few seconds, youyou raised her hand and pointed at the ultraman in pei jingzhous hand. you have to apologize to it. if you say sorry, i wont be angry anymore. he wang thought he had heard wrong. is it that simple? youyou nodded. yes, yes. he wang strode forward and said to the trampled ultraman in pei jingzhous hand in front of youyou, im sorry, brother. youyou opened her eyes and said happily, im not angry anymore. she said she wouldnt be angry. youyous emotions changed quickly. she reached out and took the ultraman from pei jingzhous arms. she handed it to he wang. this is for you. you have to take good care of it. he wang smiled and took it. child, are you entrusting it to me? youyou said seriously, you hurt it, so you have to be responsible for it. he wang couldnt stop smiling. as he smiled, he replied, okay, ill be responsible. youyou liked this method of communication very much. if the other party kept agreeing to her and did not refute her, she would be very happy. this was probably like pei jingzhou. he liked to keep his word and did not like to be refuted. li xiwu walked over and reached out to he wang, indicating that he should give her the bowl. she asked, is there a point in taking care of a child? he wang handed her the bowl. yes, what a cute child. li xiwu said, then ill have to trouble you to play with youyou next. ill go cook. he wang thought of the culinary skills li xiwu had displayed on the show and said in surprise, im so lucky today? li xiwu nodded. yes. he wangs lips curled into an impudent smile. he came over to freeload pei jingzhous culinary skills. he did not expect his luck to be so good that he could freeload on li xiwus culinary skills in his lifetime. if he did not eat until he couldnt walk tonight, he would be letting down his shamelessness today. he wang patted his chest. dont worry. im a person whos loved by everyone. this child will definitely be coaxed by me. li xiwu smiled and returned to the kitchen with the bowl. pei jingzhou also stood up. he was about to walk towards the kitchen when he wang suddenly shouted, hey, fourth brother. pei jingzhou stopped in his tracks. he wang stood with a gossipy expression. he lowered his voice and asked, whose child is this? pei jingzhou said, mine. he wang snorted. are you kidding? if i understand correctly, this is the second time youve seen this child today. pei jingzhou said indifferently, youre too nosy. im just curious, he wang muttered. pei jingzhou ignored he wangs muttering and looked down at youyou. then, he walked towards the kitchen. today was the first time li xiwu had cooked at home. pei jingzhou walked in and saw li xiwu busy in an apron. he lightened his footsteps and slowly approached li xiwu. he reached out and wrapped his arm around li xiwus waist. why are you suddenly cooking at home today? li xiwu knew that he had come in, so she was not shocked by the sudden hug around the waist. her hands were busy, and she took the time to reply, youyou likes cake. ill make one for her. pei jingzhou retracted his hand and leaned to the side. why did you suddenly bring youyou home? did you meet her by coincidence? li xiwu stopped what she was doing and looked up at pei jingzhou. you didnt send anyone to follow me after chen xin returned? pei jingzhous thin lips curled up. do you think i sent someone to follow you? li xiwu raised her eyebrows. you didnt? she had always felt that from the moment chen xin appeared, the others pei jingzhou had sent must have been following her, including her and gu lanshi taking youyou to the hospital. at that time, gu lanshi had suggested that she do a paternity test with pei jingzhou after bringing youyou back. at that time, she had thought that pei jingzhou had sent someone to follow her. those people would probably go to the hospital to get the results after she and gu lanshi left with youyou. pei jingzhou should know about this soon. in the end li xiwu saw that pei jingzhou didnt look like he was lying to her. after a moment, she smiled. are you so trusting of me? pei jingzhou shook his head. im worried. li xiwu said, then pei jingzhous expression was gentle. although im worried, trusting you is another matter. hearing this, li xiwu was indescribably touched. the corners of her lips were almost curved into a crescent. back to the point. pei jingzhou asked, did you happen to meet youyou and bring her home? do her parents know? one second, li xiwu was touched. the next second, she snorted and asked with a smile, pei jingzhou, are you suspecting that i kidnapped a child? pei jingzhou did not say anything, but his expression looked like it. li xi smiled angrily and raised her hand to gently nudge him. at most, ill bring the child to my house as a guest. why does it look like im kidnapping her? do you think ive gone crazy from missing the child? the flour in her hand was on pei jingzhous clothes, but he did not mind. he raised his hand and gently brushed it away. thats not what i meant. he wang walked in with two grapefruit in his hand. sister-in-law, someone is here to deliver the grapefruit. i ordered it. li xiwu handed the bowl to pei jingzhou. come and stir it. then, she went over to take the grapefruit from he wang and asked, wheres youyou? what is she doing? he wang smiled casually. playing ultraman. i didnt know there were so many names for ultraman these days. whats the one i stepped on? tyler? it feels good to relive my childhood. li xiwu waved her hand. hurry up and accompany her. otherwise, shell be bored. he wang nodded. okay. li xiwu said, by the way, tell youyou that the cake will have to wait a while. the grapefruit has just arrived. he wang smiled and walked out. as he walked, he said, sister-in-law, youve worked hard. make more. i like cake too.. Chapter 351 - Chapter 351: Our Daughter chapter 351: our daughter translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu smiled and turned around with the grapefruit in her arms. she saw pei jingzhou looking at her. she raised her eyebrows. whats wrong? pei jingzhou asked, do you like youyou a lot? li xiwu nodded solemnly. i do. pei jingzhou could already tell. he only asked again to confirm it. therefore, he suggested, then lets discuss with youyous parents and pick her up once a week. what do you think? li xiwu smiled meaningfully. i think so too. if pei jingzhou had gotten someone to continue following li xiwu today, he would definitely know what was going on now. however, he believed in li xiwu, so he withdrew the people following her. therefore, he would never have thought that youyou was his biological daughter. pei jingzhou took out his phone and said, give me the contact details of youyous parents. ill communicate with them. dont worry, itll be done. seeing that he was so enthusiastic, li xiwu suppressed the smile on her lips and gave him the number. 187* ** pei jingzhou entered the number li xiwu had read out. when he entered the fifth digit, his fingertips paused and he looked up at li xiwu. the number seemed familiar. li xiwu pretended not to know anything. whats wrong? pei jingzhou said, continue. li xiwu tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips so that it would not be too obvious. she continued to read the phone number out loud as if she was playing a prank. after reading the last three numbers, pei jingzhou realized that li xiwu was teasing him and stopped. li xiwu deliberately asked, didnt you remember? pei jingzhou rubbed his eyebrows and reminded her, this is my number. li xiwu looked serious. but this is the phone number. pei jingzhou laughed in a low voice. stop fooling around. you asked me for the phone number and said that you wanted to contact them personally. now that ive given you the phone number, you say that im fooling around. li xiwu turned around and peeled the grapefruit with a knife. as she peeled it, she said, im not fooling around. this is youyous fathers phone number. try calling it if you dont believe me. as soon as she finished speaking, there was no other sound in the air other than the sound of li xiwu peeling grapefruit. li xiwu stopped in her tracks, thinking that pei jingzhou had gone out. she turned around and saw that he was still standing behind her. but that expression li xiwu swallowed and asked softly, is there anything you want to ask me? pei jingzhou reached out and pulled her over, his hand on her waist. the smell of grapefruit skin evaporated into the air. it was rich and pleasant. it had the effect of refreshing the mind. li xiwu blinked and waited for pei jingzhou to continue. but he didnt ask anything. he just looked at her. li xiwu was helpless under his gaze. she raised her hands and placed them on his shoulders. dont you have anything to ask? she had already made it so obvious. why was pei jingzhou so indifferent? he didnt believe her? thinking that she was joking, he didnt take what she said seriously at all. pei jingzhous thin lips moved, and his voice was hoarse. what happened? li xiwu instantly understood that he was suppressing his emotions. her lips curled into a faint smile as she replied, probably because i was young and ignorant. i gave birth to a child behind your back. she could clearly sense that after she finished speaking, pei jingzhous grip on her waist slowly tightened. but such force did not hurt. his emotions were clearly fluctuating, but he was used to restraining them. seeing him like this, li xiwus heart softened. she stopped teasing him and told him directly, i wasnt joking just now. this phone number is youyous fathers phone number. youyou is your biological daughter and mine. pei jingzhou did not speak. his lowered eyes trembled a few times. li xiwu continued, do you remember when i asked you before if i was pregnant four years ago? actually, i was already dreaming about being pregnant at that time. the dream was very real, but no one knew the fact that i had been pregnant. i kept thinking of ways to verify it, but the process was hidden from you. im sorry. when i went to see gu lan, it was because he knew about my pregnancy back then. it turned out that it was not an accident to see youyou on the pleasure boat that day. it was arranged by gu lanshi. youyou is our daughter. gu lanshi has been taking care of youyou for the past four years. pei jingzhou was very quiet as he listened to li xiwu finish her sentence. li xiwu took a deep breath. i dont know if youll believe me, but gu lanshi has already returned youyou to us. without needing pei jingzhou to ask, she finished speaking in one breath. she looked at pei jingzhou, who did not react for a long time, and waved her hand in front of his eyes. do you not believe me? she had been beating around the bush for a long time. now that she suddenly said it, pei jingzhou might not be mentally prepared at all. of course, there was something else. the credibility of her words was not that high. pei jingzhou frowned. so this is what youre hiding from me? its not really hidden. li xiwu took a deep breath and calmed herself down. i only confirmed today that youyou is my daughter, so i told you when i came back today. pei jingzhou asked, your daughter? li xiwu pushed him away and turned around. you dont seem very willing to accept this truth and fact. in that case, youyou is my child with someone else. thats reasonable. after all, four years have passed. with just my mouth, you might be a huge injustice. pei jingzhou pulled her over. i think? when did i think? li xiwu said, then you pei jingzhou said, reasonable? how is that reasonable? li xiwu was speechless. li xiwu, let me tell you, even if youyou was really born by you and someone else, shes still our daughter. dont think of taking the child away with this reason and shaking me off. its impossible in this lifetime. pei jingzhous tone was very heavy. he was very calm after knowing the truth. however, he was suddenly angry because of li xiwus joke. he was really afraid that she would take the child away. li xiwu had mixed feelings. so what do you think now? she knew pei jingzhous attitude, but she wanted to hear it from him. pei jingzhous adams apple bobbed as he slowly said, im very happy. if li xiwu had not seen his already red eyes, she would have believed him. however, after a moment, the tears in pei jingzhous eyes fell. that drop landed on li xiwus wrist and burned her heart. she gently raised her hand and wiped away the tears under pei jingzhous eyes. she couldnt help but choke. youre already crying, yet you still say youre happy. pei jingzhous eyes were red. this is called crying tears of joy. li xiwu couldnt help but laugh. as she laughed, her throat tightened and her voice choked. she said to pei jingzhou, its been so long. this is the first time ive seen you cry. li xiwu did not know if she had seen pei jingzhou cry in the past. but this was the first time.. Chapter 352 - Chapter 352: Eyes full of Gentleness chapter 352: eyes full of gentleness translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations he wang took a photo of youyou squatting there and playing with her on his cell phone and sent it to the four people. he wang: [guess whose child this is? if you guess correctly, there will be a prize.] buzz. a notification came from the cell phone. wen ye was the first to become active. wen ye: [you went to be someones stepfather?] the smile on he wangs lips suddenly froze. after clicking his tongue, he sent a voice message to the group. youre short-haired and short-witted. please open your mind and make a bold guess. wen ye also sent a voice message. heh, your hair is long. he wang replied, are you a descendant of archimedes? wen ye said, hey, what a coincidence. my mother just told me this secret yesterday. im indeed archimedes descendant. i specialize in going against you. he wang: qin zhuoning, who had been quiet, spoke. whose child? finally, someone was curious! he wang laughed so hard that his chest trembled. youyou turned to look at him, and the smile on he wangs lips froze. did he laugh too loudly just now and scare the child? youyou threw away the ultraman in her hand and squeezed over to crane her neck to look at he wangs phone. i want to see~. he wang smiled and asked, child, can you read? youyou shook her head. no. he wang chuckled. then what are you looking at? youyou pulled a long face. i can understand speech. her stiff expression really looked like pei jingzhou at first glance, but he wang felt that she looked more like li xiwu. damn could this really be fourth brother and sister-in-laws child? if it was, this was too shocking!! buzz. just as he wang was distracted, his cell phone beeped again. it was a voice message from qin zhuoning. before he could open it, youyou had already opened that voice message. qin zhuoning said, the child of a relative should have appeared in tanhua manor, not lake lu. the environment should be at lake lu now. is it the child of li xiwus friend? qin zhuoning was the most serious. he would observe carefully first, then use the elimination method, and finally give the most reasonable guess. unlike he wang and wen ye, who did not argue properly. hehe. youyou turned to grin at he wang and gave him a thumbs up. hes so smart. he wang immediately said, little youyou, ill press the voice button. can you repeat what you just said? youyou snorted. no. he wang coaxed, if you say it, ill buy you something delicious next time. at the mention of delicious food, youyous eyes lit up. she raised her chin high. then ill reluctantly praise him. he wang thought that she was too cute. he was going to give birth to such a cute daughter in the future, but he didnt even have a partner now. seeing youyou come over, he quickly pressed the voice message. youyou cooperated and said that. the voice message lasted only three seconds before it was sent. he wang bared his front teeth and smiled. seeing that he was smiling happily, youyou raised her hand and gestured. he wang asked, what do you mean? youyou counted them with her fingers for he wang to see. i want grapefruit cake, strawberry cake, candied hawthorn, jelly, and oh, its too much at once. i have to think about it. he wang put down his phone. theres no hurry. take your time. i can buy you anything you want to eat, but you have to answer me a question. youyou blinked her big, curious eyes. what? he wang asked, who are your parents? the curiosity on youyous face quickly disappeared. she turned around and ignored he wang, continuing to play ultraman. he wang moved over and looked at the little girls sulking expression. he wondered if he had asked the wrong question. but hed only asked who her parents were. that wasnt allowed? he wang hadnt realized that he had asked a question he shouldnt have. he stepped on a sore spot and continued to jump. he leaned over and asked unwillingly, little youyou, just tell me who your parents are. ill buy you those snacks immediately. these words did not move youyou at all. she ignored he wang and played with her toys alone. so its not easy to guess girls minds. theres no age difference. he wang didnt know why he had made little youyou angry again. he couldnt even find the reason, so he naturally didnt know how to coax her. at this moment, he heard footsteps behind him. he turned around and saw pei jingzhou coming out of the kitchen, so he stood up and shouted, fourth brother. pei jingzhou walked over with the same expression as before. he asked, whats wrong? he wang scratched the back of his head and said, i just asked little youyou who her parents were, but she ignored me. she seemed to be angry. pei jingzhou looked up at he wang. this glance made he wang even more confused. he even vaguely sensed the coldness on fourth brother. he wang realized something and his eyes suddenly widened. he leaned forward and deliberately lowered his voice. fourth brother, this childs parents arent gone, are they? space instantly froze. however, before he wang could notice, he began to mutter to himself again, if thats the case, ill be damned. i spilled salt on the scar of a four-year-old girl. thinking of this, he wang was very annoyed and regretful. he wang. pei jingzhous voice was low with indistinct anger. he wang looked up blankly. huh? pei jingzhou said, youyous parents are still alive. when he wang heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. his expression immediately relaxed and he placed his hands on his waist. fourth brother, you should have said so earlier. i was so guilty just now. i thought he wang did not repeat that unlucky sentence. looking at pei jingzhous cold expression, he wang felt that the coldness on pei jingzhous body would freeze him to death. however, he was more curious now. fourth brother, where are this childs parents? pei jingzhous thin lips moved. in front of you. he wang grinned. in front of me, isnt it huh? whats going on? in front of him? wasnt pei jingzhou in front of him?! this childs parents were fourth brother and sister-in-law? but this was too illogical. he wang thought for a moment. dont tell me you adopted her? this logic made sense. pei jingzhou walked past he wang. biologically. he wang watched pei jingzhou walk towards youyou and was dumbfounded. no way?! youyou was playing ultraman at the side. she looked like she was playing, but in fact, she was really unhappy. pei jingzhou walked to youyous side and squatted down to call her. iyouyou? youyou turned to look at pei jingzhou and pouted. then, she turned around and continued to fiddle with the ultraman in her hand unhappily. pei jingzhou tried to reach out and grab youyous arm. he pulled her over very gently and slowly. youyou stood in front of pei jingzhou with a tense expression, not letting go of the toy in her hand. pei jingzhou asked softly, whats wrong? youyou remained silent. pei jingzhou slowly raised his hand and asked youyou, are you angry? youyou pouted. i want to go home.. Chapter 353 - Chapter 353: The Father and Daughter’s First Hug chapter 353: the father and daughters first hug translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jingzhous heart ached. he felt indescribable. his hand fell and held youyous hand. he said gently, youyou, your home is here. the expression on youyous face turned to confusion. but theres no grandma lin here. pei jingzhou asked, is she the grandma who usually takes care of you? youyou nodded sullenly. in the kitchen just now, pei jingzhou had heard li xiwu mention it. it was also what gu lanshi had told li xiwu in the car when he sent her back. gu lanshi was usually too busy to take care of youyou all the time, so he hired an auntie in her forties to take care of youyous clothes, food, and daily life. including going to kindergarten to pick her up and go out to play on sundays, auntie lin accompanied her. therefore, to youyou, other than gu lanshi being a relative, auntie lin was also a very important relative. pei jingzhou said to youyou, shall i bring grandma lin over? youyous sullen expression instantly changed because of pei jingzhous words. okay- the smile on pei jingzhous lips spread as he tried to negotiate. then lets stay here from now on, okay? although youyou was only a little more than four years old, she had her own independent thinking ability. am i moving? pei jingzhou pursed his lips. yes, youre moving here, is it okay? in the world of children, they did not care about the changes in their living environment. they only cared about whether there were many toys in their living environment and whether they liked this place enough. at the moment, youyou liked this place very much. she tilted her head and thought for a moment before asking, can i move my toys over? pei jingzhou nodded. sure. youyou said, and my small fish tank. i have three small goldfish. can i move them here too? pei jingzhou said, yes. youyou listed them one by one. can i move my little dress, princess shoes, and all my hair clips here? lots and lots. pei jingzhou wanted to say that these could all be bought new, or even more, and that he had to compensate her well. however, he would not reject youyous request and would do everything. he agreed. move them all over. youyou grinned, dimples appearing on her cheeks. she took the initiative to hold pei jingzhous hand and pointed at an empty seat. can i put my small fish tank here? pei jingzhou smiled and nodded. sure. youyou asked again, then where do i put my toys? pei jingzhou said, anywhere is fine. every place here belongs to you. youyou was overjoyed and asked the last important question. can i sleep with sister tonight? youyou had been looking forward to this idea for a long time. pei jingzhou replied, everything is okay. undoubtedly, every approval from pei jingzhou made youyou very satisfied and happy. the joy of a child was very simple. it was endless satisfaction and agreement. because of her current happiness, youyou quickly forgot about the sad question about where her parents were. she actually didnt like strangers asking her that question. originally, in kindergarten, her classmates had said that she didnt have parents. that had already made her very unhappy, but why did adults ask her that? he wang walked over silently and stood beside pei jingzhou. fourth brother. pei jingzhou stood up. he wang was still in shock from what had just happened. he swallowed and asked, when did you and sister-in-law give birth to such a big daughter? pei jingzhou glanced sideways. do you want to know? he wang nodded vigorously. yes, yes, yes. pei jingzhou smiled, indicating his good mood. why should i tell you? he wang: youyou looked up and asked pei jingzhou, can you play ultraman with me? beside him, he wang thought that it was unlikely for fourth brother to play ultraman with the child. he was happy to help, but how could he have forgotten that this child was fourth brothers child? fourth brother would probably do as she said. as expected, pei jingzhou leaned over and reached out to youyou. this gesture meant to take the toy, but in youyous opinion, this gesture meant to hug her. hence, she walked over and threw herself into pei jingzhous arms. pei jingzhou was stunned and did not seem to react. his gesture was in its original state, uncollected, even a little stiff. after a while, pei jingzhou still made the same gesture. youyou withdrew and asked, is youyou heavy? pei jingzhou looked dazed for a moment. no. youyou said, youyou is very light. yes, youre very light. pei jingzhou slowly retracted his arm and pulled youyou into his arms. it was because youyou took the initiative to approach him that he felt extremely unreal. his heart was beating fast. he was nervous. after retracting his arms, he tried his best to control his strength. afraid that he would strangle youyou, he picked youyou up with extreme caution. this scene stunned he wang. he rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what had just happened. fourth brother also had times when he was nervous, and he was facing a four-year-old girl!! not only was he nervous, but he was also a little helpless when the child threw herself into his arms. it was only when he saw pei jingzhou carrying youyou in one hand and the toy in the other that he wang finally came back to his senses and muttered to himself, fourth brother is really a father shocking news!! he had to pass it down quickly! he wang picked up his phone and saw that there were already several messages in the group. there were qin zhuonings emoticons and several voice messages. when he opened them, he saw that they were nothing more than asking the child to share the rain and dew and praise him for being smart. he wang pressed the voice button. something big has happened, everyone. wen ye: whats the big deal? qin zhuoning was in hiding and was not active in the group. although he was not active, he was peeking at the screen. he wang said, how about predicting major events? please pay to listen. wen ye also sent an emoji: get lost! qin zhuoning smiled at the screen, took away his cell phone, and continued to deal with the work at hand. he wang did not say much and used his actions to blow everyone up. he walked in the direction where pei jingzhou carried youyou and left. he raised his cell phone and took a photo of pei jingzhou and youyou interacting. coincidentally, in this scene, pei jingzhou was adjusting the zipper on youyous jacket. he was crouched on his knees, his head down, his expression intent. youyou also stood obediently and did not move. she only looked down when the zipper was done. amazing. this photo was amazing!! he wang sent this extremely satisfied photo to the group. as he had expected, it exploded. not only that, he wang even posted this photo on his wechat moments with the caption: im really impressed by someones rocket-like speed. i was single when he got married. his child is already so old, but im still single. what a hard life once this post was posted, it wouldnt be long before the entire circle of aristocratic families knew! Chapter 354 - Chapter 354: Twins chapter 354: twins translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jiao was the first to see this post. she scrolled through her wechat moments as usual. when she saw he wangs wechat moments, she liked it. at that time, she did not read the content of this wechat moments carefully. at first glance, she felt that the back view in the photo was very familiar, like the god of fortune huh? god of fortune? he wang was tired of living. how dare he post about her brother on his wechat moments? pei jiao had already swiped it, but she immediately swiped it back. before she could read the post carefully, she opened the photo to confirm if it was the god of fortune. when pei jiao saw the back in the photo, she was almost certain that it was the back of the god of fortune. except. who is this little girl? pei jiao muttered to herself. han qianye, who was sitting on the sofa opposite and watching a variety show, looked up when she heard pei jiaos words. who is it? pei jiao hissed. i saw a wechat moment. han qianye was not interested. she retracted her gaze and continued watching the variety show. currently, the fourth episode of mother-in-law joy has already been broadcasted on wind platform. after editing, there were many cute subtitles compared to the live-stream. there were also some interesting bgms. the style of the variety show was full of style. han qianye chased after it seriously. there was more to laugh about in the fourth episode. han qianye laughed loudly at the side and said, if only xixi was here too. we could watch it together. mom! mom! pei jiao suddenly shouted excitedly. han qianye was chasing after the variety show. when pei jiao called her, she did not look away. what now? pei jiao walked over with her phone and squeezed beside han qianye. mom, mom, something happened. han qianye still did not take it seriously. she only stared at the television screen. what happened? pei jiao said in a not-so-quiet voice, the god of fortune has a daughter. han qianye turned around. god of fortune? she was so obsessed with the variety show that she did not react for a moment. who was the god of fortune pei jiao was talking about? pei jiao swallowed. my brother. my brother has a daughter. this news came too suddenly. han qianye was not prepared at all. now, she was frozen like a stone. not only was she a little confused, but she was also a little stunned. pei jiao opened her cell phone and showed it to han qianye. this is he wangs wechat moments. look! han qianye came back to her senses and took the cell phone from pei jiao. let me see the picture appeared in front of han qianye. her sons back was easy to recognize. she could tell at a glance. she didnt know who that obedient little girl was. han qianye had never seen her before. she held her cell phone and asked pei jiao, what happened? pei jiao had a complicated expression. i dont know either. han qianye pointed at the little girl in the photo. who is this? pei jiao shook her head. i dont know. han qianye stuffed the phone into pei jiaos hand. you dont know! then what are you talking about! you scared me. i thought they were twins! what twins? pei jiao asked curiously. this matter was still a secret for the time being. only han qianye and pei qingji knew. for the time being, han qianye had no intention of telling pei jiao and casually brushed it off. yaoyao was jingzhous son. she was still hiding this. she was waiting to do a paternity test on yaoyao and xixi. she had already thought it through. if yaoyao was born from jingzhou and xixi, everyone would naturally be happy. she had to quickly get yaoyao back. if yaoyao had nothing to do with xixi, she would still have to tell jingzhou and let him make the decision. however, yaoyao would definitely stay. after all, he was of the pei familys blood. she had even booked a plane ticket. it was safer to go straight to country t. if she went to the north pole first before going to country t, han qianye would feel uneasy. this matter could not be delayed forever. mom, mom. pei jiao gently pushed han qianyes arm. han qianye came back to her senses. what? pei jiao showed the phone to han qianye again. you only saw the photo just now. you didnt read the contents of this wechat moments. han qianye was a little speechless. she took the cell phone. obviously, that kid from the he family must have sent this casually. as she spoke, han qianye finished reading the contents. then silence. after reading the comments of pei jiao and he wangs mutual friend, not only was she silent, but her expression also became solemn. pei jiao leaned over and asked softly, mom, what do you think this is about? han qianye was furious. she first paused the variety show on the television. she picked up her phone and called pei jingzhou. meanwhile, li xiwu had already made a cake. when baking the cake, she added grapefruit juice. after making it into a cake, she smeared it with cream and sprinkled it with her torn grapefruit meat. this grapefruit cake was done. she was about to take the cake out when her cell phone vibrated on the kitchen counter. it was pei jingzhous phone. li xiwu wiped her hands and went over to pick up her phone. auntie, its me. when han qianye heard that it was li xiwus voice, she didnt know how to ask the words she had prepared. she changed to something else. xixi, have you had dinner? li xiwu replied, not yet. we might be a little late. han qianye asked, are you busy? li xiwu smiled faintly. yes, im preparing dinner. on the other end of the line, han qianye was hesitating about whether to let li xiwu hand the phone to jingzhou. she hesitated for a long time and could not make up her mind. however, li xiwu asked first, auntie, do you have something to tell fourth brother? han qianye followed li xiwus words. aye, theres something, but li xiwu carefully pushed the cake in and turned to walk out. wait a moment. ill pass the phone to fourth brother. when she came out of the kitchen, li xiwu did not see pei jingzhou. she only saw he wang sitting on the sofa. she asked, he wang, wheres fourth brother? he wang immediately stood up and pointed in the direction for li xiwu. over there. fourth brother and youyou are both over there. youyou is pestering fourth brother to play with her. on the phone, han qianye heard he wangs voice. she thought about how that moments had just been posted and that he wang was still at lake lu. in other words, the little girl was also at lake lu? then, li xiwu also knew? han qianye quickly said, xixi, wait, wait. li xiwu was about to look for pei jingzhou in the direction he wang pointed. suddenly, she heard han qianye hurriedly say on the phone to wait. she stopped in her tracks and pressed the cell phone close to her ear. she asked gently, whats wrong, auntie? han qianye asked, um do you have a child in your family? li xiwu was surprised. how did you know? han qianye thought to herself, as expected, xixi knew. then there was no need to ask jingzhou. it was the same if she asked xixi. jiaojiao swiped to he wangs wechat moments who took a photo of jingzhou interacting with a child. she showed it to me.. han qianye asked, xixi, whose family is that child? why did he wang say that shes jingzhous daughter? Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: Youyou: Love You chapter 355: youyou: love you translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu had no intention of hiding it from han qianye. however, on the phone, it was probably impossible to explain clearly that she had just picked youyou up. she could only say, auntie, fourth brother and i will come back the day after tomorrow. han qianye was delighted. really? li xiwu replied, yes. han qianye chattered on and on. not to mention the day after tomorrow, i cant wait until tomorrow. old madam mo said that she wants to bring you back to the mo residence to stay for a while. im afraid shell be here to pick you up soon. i was still thinking about how to let you come back and stay for two days. this is great. ill get uncle dong to arrange it early. after han qianyes reminder, li xiwu suddenly remembered that her grandmother had said that she wanted to bring her back to the mo residence to stay for a while. she agreed then. however, because she was temporarily delayed in the hospital, she also told her grandmother that she would stay at home for two days after she was discharged before moving to the mo residence. xixi? han qianye shouted. li xiwu came back to her senses. yes, auntie, go ahead. han qianye was not curious about whose family the child in the photo belonged to now. anyway, the two of them were coming back the day after tomorrow. she would ask when the time came. but she had to mention something now. xixi, last time we talked about going to the arctic, when did you have time? she had to go along with it. she couldnt go to country t directly. li xiwu pursed her lips and said in an apologetic tone, auntie, recording a show has delayed a lot of work recently. im afraid i wont have much time recently. oh, thats true. han qianye played along and acted reasonably. recording the show has indeed delayed a lot of work. its indeed not good to take leave for more than ten days. li xiwu said, mhm. logically speaking, li xiwu did not have to go to work at all for a wealthy family like the pei family. she just needed to dress up at home and be an exquisite wife of a wealthy family. but the first thing she did after marriage was step into the workforce and work her way up. at that time, han qianye had some grudges against li xiwu, so she naturally did not care if li xiwu worked or not. she could only see li xiwu two or three times a year. recently, han qianye had been thinking that if she could transmigrate back to three years ago, she would definitely dote on li xiwu and not let her work so hard outside. now, it was not easy to tell li xiwu not to work. after all, she already had her own results in the workplace. han qianyes gentle voice said, there are many places to go to the arctic, and it will take a long time. i wont be happy if time is too tight. eh, country t can be reached by plane. xixi, do you want to go to country t with me to meet madam di xin? li xiwu was slightly stunned when she suddenly heard han qianye mention going to country t. why did han qianye suddenly want to go to country t to see madam di xin? if she had not just picked up her daughter, youyou, li xiwus original plan to go to country t would not have changed. she would probably set off in the next two days. however, she did not expect han qianye to take the initiative to mention going to country t with her to meet madam di xin. xixi, do you think you can spare two to three days to go? han qianye did not hear li xiwus response for a long time and was a little nervous. li xiwu replied, auntie, the plan to go to country t is too sudden. i can take a leave for two or three days, but im afraid it wont be so soon. han qianye was a little regretful. oh, alright then. if li xiwu couldnt go, she had to go alone. however, she had to bring li xiwus hair or other items that could be tested for dna. when li xiwu heard han qianyes disappointed tone, she said apologetically, auntie, its indeed not easy to arrange the time recently. its not just work, but also some other things. other matters? han qianye could not guess what the other things were. it was definitely impossible for xixi to quarrel with jingzhou. jingzhou loved xixi so much, so there must be something else. han qianye expressed her understanding. alright, ill get uncle dong to prepare early and wait for you to come back the day after tomorrow. li xiwu agreed. okay. after ending the call, li xiwu held her cell phone and went to look for pei jingzhou. her footsteps were light. when she entered and saw the scene in front of her, the corners of her lips slowly curled up. the rabbit ears on youyous head were unstable and kept sliding down. pei jingzhou reached out to support them, not letting the headband slide down. youyou wasnt playing ultraman now. what she was playing with was the smile on li xiwus lips froze for a few seconds before she shouted, youyou. youyou, who had painted her face like a kitten, looked up when she heard the voice. when she saw li xiwu, she immediately smiled like a sunflower. sister li xiwu was amused by youyous current appearance. she walked over and squatted down. she asked gently, did you apply it yourself? mm- youyou nodded, then asked smugly, is youyou beautiful? li xiwu didnt know what to say for a moment. if she had to say that it wasnt beautiful, it was a little cute. she reached out and scratched the tip of youyous nose. of course, my little princess is beautiful. shes especially beautiful. youyou praised her politely. sister is also beautiful. li xiwus eyes curved. at first glance, she looked like youyou when she smiled. she knew that there was no hurry to correct youyous way of addressing her for the time being. youyou could call her anything she liked. she would slowly correct the way she addressed her after they got to know each other for a long time. if youyou was unwilling, it didnt matter if it was later. after all, as an incompetent mother, she had already lost the most important four years of her daughters life. at the thought of this, her expression dropped. she recalled what gu lanshi had said. youyou was a premature baby back then and had always been placed in an incubator. after she gave birth to youyou, she had never seen youyou through the incubator. then, there was chaos in country t. something happened to her, and she was brought back to the country by pei jingzhou and lost all her memories. gu lanshi did not tell her the reason why she gave birth to youyou behind pei jingzhous back then. even though li xiwu asked several times, gu lanshi still did not tell her. after meeting madam di xin, she might know some of the truth. but now, she had to take care of youyou and could not leave for country t. she could only postpone it. during this period, she wanted to find another opportunity to ask gu lanshi why she had given birth to youyou without pei jingzhou knowing. she was lost in thought when her cheek was suddenly cupped. li xiwu came back to her senses and saw youyou holding her cheek with both hands and rubbing it. its so beautiful. li xiwu did not know that youyou had rubbed some blush on her cheek. she also raised her hand and rubbed youyous cheek. at this moment, youyou took the initiative to lean towards li xiwu. just as li xiwu thought that youyou wanted her to hug her, she opened her arms and youyou leaned forward to kiss her cheek. she said to her openly, love you li xiwus heart was about to soften. she looked up at pei jingzhou and was not surprised to see envy in his eyes. she gave pei jingzhou a look. pei jingzhou understood and squatted down.. Chapter 356 - Chapter 356: Daughter Slave chapter 356: daughter slave translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations youyou turned to look at pei jingzhou. pei jingzhous expression did not change, but he was a little nervous. however, this nervousness did not last long. youyou withdrew from li xiwus arms and pounced on pei jingzhou. without any hesitation, youyou hugged pei jingzhous neck and pouted as she kissed his cheek. even though pei jingzhou was mentally prepared, he was still stunned. before he could even cooperate and lean over, youyou had already taken the initiative to kiss him. li xiwu smiled brightly at the side. she reached out and gently pushed pei jingzhous arm. fourth brother, dont just stand there. youyou is fair. pei jingzhou nodded with a gentle smile. unlike li xiwu, who was not in a hurry, he asked youyou directly, do you know what you should call me? youyou was a little confused. what? ahem! li xiwu coughed lightly and reminded him, fourth brother, youyou has just been picked up. theres no hurry. pei jingzhou admitted that he was a little anxious, but at this moment, he suddenly heard youyou call him daddy. pei jingzhous expression froze. not only pei jingzhou, but even li xiwu was stunned. she did not expect youyou to call pei jingzhou dad just like that. she had never even taught her to call him that. pei jingzhous calm expression instantly cracked. his emotions were fluctuating greatly. there was shock, disbelief, and surprise on his face. youyou giggled, looking extremely cute. she pointed at li xiwu. mother dragon is mom. then, she looked at pei jingzhou and said, youre daddy. pei jingzhou nodded. yes, its daddy. youyou shook her head. but brother said not to call you that. its impolite. li xiwu and pei jingzhou could hear youyous disappointment in the last sentence. li xiwu was about to speak when pei jingzhou said, you can call me that. its not rude. youyous eyes widened. really? pei jingzhou pulled youyou into his arms and hugged her gently. his eyelids trembled slightly, and his emotions had yet to calm down. he said in an unstable voice, im your father, youyous father. youyou is my baby. youyou obediently snuggled into pei jingzhous arms. the blush on her hands and face rubbed against pei jingzhous clothes. li xiwu watched enviously from the side. she was happy and rather emotional. pei jingzhou had always been the calmest, but in front of his daughter, all his composure disappeared at this moment. he probably blamed himself. he blamed himself that he actually did not know that she had given birth to a daughter for him. just like li xiwus guilt, she had missed the most important four years. pei jingzhou thought so too. youyou thought about the blusher plate. this was her new toy. after staying obediently in pei jingzhous arms for a while, she pushed him away. im going to do my makeup. dont disturb me. pei jingzhou laughed. okay. then, youyou turned around with the blusher plate and continued to fiddle. seeing that youyou liked the blusher very much, li xiwu did not take it back. she stood up and asked in amusement, havent you been accompanying youyou? why did you let her put on blush? the thing youyou was holding just now was li xiwus usual blush. she didnt use much blush, and she had only bought it for half a year. it was still a very new piece. now that youyou had done so, the blush was unrecognizable. she had even rubbed a lot on pei jingzhous clothes. this reminded li xiwu that she had also rubbed foundation on pei jingzhous clothes before. pei jingzhou also stood up and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips. he said apologetically, this box of blush is not on the dressing table. its just there. i didnt look carefully at what it was. i only knew when youyou opened it and smeared it on her face. li xiwu said, then you wont stop it? pei jingzhou was speechless. li xiwu explained, this is cosmetics used by adults. children should try not to come into contact with it. in the future, you can buy healthy cosmetics for children for youyou. ill forget about this today. as long as youyou is happy. pei jingzhou nodded. mm. actually, how could li xiwu not know? youyou was so cute that she was unwilling to reject and stop her, let alone pei jingzhou. even though she knew that it was the cosmetics she used, when youyou wheedled and acted cute, she compromised. at the thought of this, li xiwu laughed out loud. fourth brother, i didnt expect you to be a daughter slave. pei jingzhou pursed his thin lips. ill stop it next time. li xiwus smile did not fade. you have a daughter when youre almost thirty. i understand. pei jingzhou: indeed, he had a daughter when hes almost thirty. in the future, she would probably be doted on and pampered. after all, pei jingzhou had always thought that he would probably never have a child with li xiwu in his life. since there was something wrong with his body, why should he let li xiwu suffer in that test tube? therefore, he had already made up his mind to adopt a child with li xiwu in the future. however, who would have thought that the heavens would be so kind to him that he was approaching the age of thirty and had a daughter? li xiwu reached out and gently pushed pei jingzhou. fourth brother, what are you thinking? pei jingzhou turned to look at her and said in a low voice, im thinking that i must have been a good person in my previous life. why do you say that? li xiwu smiled. pei jingzhou said slowly, because i was a good person in my previous life. i can only be the happiest person in my next life. li xiwu looked up at him. because of his words, the scene of pei jingzhou crying with red eyes appeared in her mind again. her heart ached. she took two steps towards him and wrapped her arms around pei jingzhous waist. fourth brother, youre worth it. pei jingzhous throat suddenly felt bitter. he wrapped his arm around li xiwus waist and slowly tightened it. it was getting dark. li xiwu had to hurry to cook. pei jingzhou pulled her back. ill do it. stay with youyou. li xiwu said, just now halfway through, pei jingzhou said, ill do it. youyous blush needs you to wash it. im afraid i wont wash it clean. li xiwu smiled. okay. after pei jingzhou left, li xiwu went to coax youyou to wash her face. because of youyou, the atmosphere for this dinner was just right. he wang looked at the scene of the family of three interacting and was green with envy. he took a sip of fruit juice and said, my scalp is so itchy. for once, li xiwu did not understand what he wang meant. could it be that youve been changing your shampoo more frequently recently? he wang smiled wantonly. my scalp itches. my love brain is about to grow. li xiwu smiled and suggested pertinently, you can try dating. the smile on he wangs face turned to melancholy. he said with a faint sadness, the key is that i cant find a suitable person. as soon as he finished speaking, he wang looked at li xiwu.. sister-in-law, why dont you help me introduce a partner? Chapter 357 - Chapter 357: Sick Yaoyao chapter 357: sick yaoyao translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations these words stumped li xiwu. the female friends she was familiar with all had partners. li xiwu did not know much about the colleagues she was unfamiliar with. it was not appropriate for her to introduce them to he wang. pei jingzhou could tell that li xiwu was in a difficult position. he helped her out and said, dont worry about him. he cant have any weaknesses now. li xiwu was surprised. why? pei jingzhou placed the peeled prawns in youyous bowl and said, hes preparing to fight for the family assets now. there are countless pairs of eyes on him both openly and secretly. in a situation where he cant take care of himself, he fell into a relationship. not only is he not in the mood to fight for the family assets, but he also has a weakness that can be threatened at any time. he wang tapped his cheek with the tip of his tongue. fourth brother, with your words, im afraid i wont have anything to look forward to in my life. pei jingzhou looked up at he wang coldly. when you control the he family and are strong enough to protect the people you care about, how can you not look forward to it?! that made sense. moreover, they were brothers. pei jingzhou would naturally give he wang the best advice. of course, these were only some suggestions. whether he wang would listen was another matter. it was not within pei jingzhous persuasion range. he wang put down the fruit juice and nodded meaningfully. fourth brother makes sense. li xiwu could tell that he wang had something on his mind. she had little contact with he wang. li xiwu didnt know much about he wangs life circle, but qiao qiao knew a little more than her, because qiao qiao had some contact with he wang. although this contact had originated from her in the beginning, after the meal, he wang bade youyou farewell before leaving. pei jingzhou sent him to the door and the two of them chatted about some things that were related to the he family. pei jingzhou wanted he wang to be at ease and relax. with pei jingzhous help, he wang had a high chance of winning. however, if he still lost in the end, he wang would admit that he was not capable enough. after all, those who were eyeing the he family were not to be trifled with. after he wang left, pei jingzhou came in and closed the door. li xiwu walked over and asked, has he wang been in a difficult situation recently? pei jingzhou nodded. there are wolves in front and tigers behind. the he family is a ruthless place. hearing this, li xiwu sighed. the he family is also a noble family in the capital. they have several branches of the family, and all of them have ulterior motives. now that old master he is about to die, although the he family looks calm on the surface, they are already fighting inside. pei jingzhou hugged li xiwu. he wang won a lot this time. li xiwu looked up. fourth brother, you plan to help him with all his might? pei jingzhou said, in the past, he took a carefree attitude when fighting for the family assets. it didnt matter whether he fights or not. is that so? however, in li xiwus opinion, he wangs desire to fight for the family assets this time was clearly ambitious and determined. pei jingzhou knew what li xiwu was thinking from her expression. he smiled and said, guess why he thought it through this time and wanted to fight with all his might? li xiwu knew that he wang was single, so she didnt think in terms of emotions. those people from the he family are all scheming. anyone who participated in the family assets competition and didnt fight for it didnt end up well. he wang probably paved the most solid path for himself. theres another reason, pei jingzhou said meaningfully. li xiwu was a little curious. what other reason? pei jingzhou held li xiwu and walked towards youyou. as they walked, he said, what i said to him at the dining table just now was not only a persuasion, but also a reminder. li xiwu instantly understood and had an unspoken mutual understanding with pei jingzhou. so he wang already had someone he wanted to protect with all his might. that night, youyou slept next to li xiwu and pei jingzhou. however, this was her first time in a new place, and the brand new environment made youyou a little unfamiliar with the bed. she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and shouted for grandma lin. at this moment, li xiwu was still washing up. pei jingzhou comforted youyou. grandma lin is still packing her luggage. shell move over tomorrow. youyou asked, can i see grandma lin tomorrow? pei jingzhou said, yes, tomorrow. he had already contacted auntie lin, who was taking care of youyou. it was true that she could not come over today, but she had given him the address. pei jingzhou had sent someone to pick up auntie lin tomorrow morning. youyou felt a little more at ease and stopped making a fuss. she placed her feet on pei jingzhou and swayed her chubby feet. i want to hear the story of the little tadpoles looking for their mother. there were no childrens books at home in advance, so pei jingzhou took the tablet and looked for a bedtime story. he asked youyou, why do you want to hear this story? youyou looked up. because the tadpoles found their mother. pei jingzhou said, it seems that youve heard this story before. youyou nodded. brother told me. at this moment, li xiwu came out of the bathroom and happened to hear this conversation between father and daughter. she said, lets tell this story. youyou likes to hear it. youyou cheered and danced. her little feet swayed even more happily. after coaxing youyou to sleep, li xiwu couldnt fall asleep no matter what. she knew that pei jingzhou was not asleep either. she said softly, fourth brother, lets send youyou to kindergarten together tomorrow. pei jingzhou opened his eyes. okay. although they couldnt fall asleep and the two of them had a lot to talk about, they were afraid of waking youyou, who had finally fallen asleep. the couple had an unspoken mutual understanding and didnt say anything else. the night was warm and peaceful. the next day. pei jingzhou was dressed very formally. the first time he sent youyou to kindergarten, he did it as a father. pei jingzhou took this first time very seriously. li xiwu had personally tied his tie for him. it was an exquisite windsor knot. auntie lin was brought over very early. she brought youyous school bag and some clothes. the rest were something else. they would probably be able to move them all over at noon. after that, li xiwu and pei jingzhou sent yaoyao to kindergarten as parents. meanwhile, in a mansion in country ts chunwu, it was very cold. madam di xin did not sleep the entire night, and her eyes were filled with fatigue. the servant went forward and persuaded softly, madam, go and rest for a while. madam di xin looked up at the bed. yaoyao looked like he was in a deep sleep and had yet to wake up. madam di xin raised her hand to rub her temples and asked, has his fever subsided? the servant replied, it did. it subsided at four in the morning. young master is in a deep sleep now. go rest for a while. dont tire yourself out. madam di xin sighed. he was born prematurely to begin with. his health has been poor since he was young and he fell sick from time to time. this time, he even went on a hunger strike. its really harmful. with the help of the servants, madam di xin slowly stood up. at the same time, yaoyao, who was sleeping on the bed, opened his eyes, but no one realized that he was awake. madam di xin was helped out of the door. after walking for a while, she still felt a little worried and wanted to guard it personally. she waved her hand. im not going to rest. help me back. at this moment, the servant said, madam, young master is awake. madam di xin turned around. yaoyao, who had quietly gotten up, was sitting alone on the threshold in his thin undergarment.. he raised his head and looked gloomily at the distant east Chapter 358 - Chapter 358: Hurry up and Treat chapter 358: hurry up and treat translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations yaoyao. madam di xin gestured for the servants to step aside and walked slowly towards yaoyao, who was sitting on the threshold. when she got closer, yaoyao did not even look at madam di xin. he continued to look at the sky gloomily. madam di xin tried to squat down. after all, she was old and her limbs were not nimble. it was a little difficult to squat down. seeing this, the servant hurriedly went forward and supported madam di xin. madam, ill get you a chair. no need, madam di xin said. just help me sit down at the threshold. the servant did as she was told and carefully helped madam di xin sit down at the threshold beside yaoyao. after sitting down, madam di xin said to the servant, go and take out yaoyaos jacket. the maid nodded and hurried in to get her coat. a moment later, madam di xin placed her coat on yaoyao and wrapped it around his small body. are you hungry? yaoyao was like a stone statue, motionless and silent. he was completely silent in his own world and sealed his heart. madam di xin sighed softly. she knew that yaoyao would ignore her no matter what she said. thinking about it, yaoyao had not said a word for four days. if this continued, his autism symptoms would only become worse. yaoyao, do you want to go to the capital? yaoyao didnt respond. madam di xin took out her phone and opened the photo album. she found a photo of li xiwu that had been saved online. she opened the photo and showed it to yaoyao. do you remember her? yaoyao still did not react at all. madam di xin brought the phone to yaoyao, but yaoyaos gaze was not focused at all, and he could not see the photo on the phone. madam di xin called the servants over. the servant went forward. madam, your orders. madam di xin handed the phone to the servant. find the audio about li xiwu on the internet. its best it she speaks. as soon as she finished speaking, a gentle voice came from the front mom. madam di xin looked up and saw her son walking over. bolin, why are you here? bolin, who was dressed in a formal suit, walked over slowly. he replied, i just came back from chitralada palace. i heard that yaoyao was sick, so i came over to take a look when im free later. as he approached, bolins gaze landed on yaoyao and he frowned. madam di xin said, the last time we went to the capital, she wasnt acclimatized, causing his stomach to be affected. after we came back, he didnt eat properly. the doctor said that he was a little dehydrated and had a high fever last night. when bolin heard this, he slowly squatted down and reached out to gently touch yaoyaos forehead. your temperature has dropped. the servant chimed in at the right time. young masters temperature has dropped. its been hard on madam to guard him all night. bolin looked at madam di xin worriedly. take care of yourself. madam di xin smiled and nodded. i know my own body. bolin looked at yaoyao and deliberated over his words. since youve already seen her in the capital, when do you plan to send yaoyao back to her? although bolin had been busy recently, he knew about his mothers visit to the capital, including sending yaoyao to the capital later. he was the one who arranged it. he thought that sending yaoyao to the capital this time was probably because he had confirmed little li yous identity and was prepared to send yaoyao back to her. unexpectedly, not long after, his mother returned with yaoyao. bolin was busy with the cabinet and didnt come over to ask about the situation. when he heard that yaoyao was sick again this morning, he happened to have time now, so he came over to take a look and ask his mother what was going on. madam di xin gestured to bolin. carry yaoyao in first. bolin nodded and went forward to pick up yaoyao. yaoyao did not resist bolins approach. when he was picked up, he was very quiet and did not make a fuss. he was so obedient that it made ones heart ache. bolin felt the weight of yaoyao in his arms and turned to madam di xin. why is he so light? madam di xin slowly stood up with the help of the servants. she sighed and replied, he didnt like to eat anything. he only eats a little every day, if not none. the nutritionist cant do anything. bolin frowned. this cant go on. after entering, bolin placed yaoyao on the bed and tucked him in. madam di xin stood at the side with a worried expression. bolin glanced sideways and asked, yaoyao met little li you this time when he went to the capital, right? madam di xin nodded. yes. bolin said, just met? madam di xin said slowly, not only have they met, but theyve also interacted. i specially arranged for yaoyao and little you to spend a day together. yaoyao quite likes little you, but bolin couldnt guess. but what? madam di xin said in a low voice, little you has forgotten the past. bolin understood instantly. no wonder. li you had lost her past memories, which meant that she could no longer remember everything that had happened in country t during those few years. naturally, she could not remember that she had been born with yaoyao. madam di xin said, the memories of the past are too painful. she forgot. what if i tell her that yaoyao is her child now and indirectly remind her of the past she cant forget it for the rest of her life, bolin said. she has to remember, of course if she doesnt want to remember it herself. madam di xin couldnt make up her mind and asked bolin, then tell me, should i send yaoyao back and tell little you that yaoyao is her child? bolin turned to face madam di xin with a serious expression. mom, with little li yous current situation, it might not be a good thing to force yaoyao back to her side. moreover, yaoyao is sick and needs educational intervention and medical treatment. its a long process. however, i think you can tell little li you about this. lees see what she says. madam di xin nodded. youre right. when yaoyao feels better, ill contact li you to talk to her about this. after that, madam di xin asked bolin to help her search for audio about li xiwu on her phone. bolin had also followed that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show before. he found an audio on the internet that was made by fans and li xiwus voice. madam di xin showed yaoyao the video. however, even though yaoyao saw the video, he did not react at all. moreover, he quickly looked away. he rested his chin on his hands and stared at a certain spot in a daze. he didnt react to anyone who spoke to him. madam di xins heart ached as she sighed non-stop. bolin could tell that his mother was worried and frowned. it seems that we cant wait for his stomach to recover. ill arrange for a psychotherapist to come over later. yaoyaos current state is very bad. he cant delay any longer. that afternoon, yaoyao underwent medical treatment under bolins arrangements. although autism mainly involved educational intervention, yaoyaos current situation was very bad. if he continued to go on such a hunger strike, his physical condition would not allow it.. Chapter 359 - Chapter 359: Heartache chapter 359: heartache translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations not only did the medical treatment not improve yaoyaos condition, but it also caused him to vomit and have diarrhea. his high fever did not subside and he was hospitalized overnight. the situation was very bad, even life-threatening. madam di xin was overly worried. coupled with the fact that she had not had a good rest for the past few days, she was highly nervous. before yaoyao could recover, she fell ill. when bolin arrived at the hospital, he first went to check on yaoyao before returning to madam di xins ward. mom. madam di xins face was slightly pale as she shouted, bolin. bolin walked to the bed. go ahead. madam di xin handed it over. i originally wanted to wait for yaoyao to recover before contacting li you, but it seems that i cant wait anymore. its been hard on you. get someone to bring yaoyao to the capital. bolin didnt refuse and agreed. okay. madam di xin also said, remember to contact ah yuan before you leave. leave yaoyao with her. ah yuan was madam di xins daughter, who was also bolins biological sister, boyuan. the last time madam di xin went to the capital, she brought yaoyao to stay at boyuans place for two days. yaoyao was very resistant to unfamiliar places. this was the first time he had gone to boyuans house, so he was not in a good mood. however, boyuan had a daughter about the same age as yaoyao. yaoyao would be much better in front of boyuans daughter. bolin agreed first. ill arrange it. rest well. your health is more important. only then did madam di xin feel relieved. bolin had been busy and didnt have much time. this time, under his mothers instructions, he tried his best to make time to go to the capital personally. otherwise, yaoyaos situation would only get worse. that night, bolin arranged a time to go to the capital. the next morning, he personally took yaoyao on a flight to the capital. boyuan, who was in the capital, knew in advance that her brother was coming and personally went to the airport to pick him up. the moment she saw bolin, boyuan rushed over and hugged him. brother! bolin patted boyuans back gently. how have you been? boyuan pulled out of bolins arms, her eyes slightly red. im fine. i was so happy to see mom some time ago. i didnt expect you to come to the capital so quickly. bolin frowned. you know why i came to the capital this time. of course i know. boyuan craned her neck to look around. by the way, wheres yaoyao? bolin turned sideways and said, in the car. asleep. ill go take a look. boyuan went forward and opened the car door. the moment the car door opened, yaoyao opened his eyes. recently, because of his body, yaoyaos face had always been very pale. there was no color, and he could not muster his spirits, nor was he interested in anything. coming to the capital from country t this time was a little torturous for yaoyao. the moment he saw boyuan, yaoyaos pupils clearly changed. bolin, who had come over, could tell. he didnt say a word to me along the way. he wasnt interested in anything i said. his eyes were always in a daze. i didnt expect that when he saw you, his calm eyes suddenly became alive. probably not because she saw me. boyuan smiled. its because of little jingzhe. hearing boyuan mention little jingzhe, bolin remembered his niece, who was about the same age as yaoyao. moreover, he also noticed that when boyuan mentioned little jingzhe just now, the fluctuation in yaoyaos eyes was even more obvious than before. he glanced sideways and asked, wheres little jingzhe? boyuan said, little jingzhe is in kindergarten. she wont be back until three in the afternoon. bolin nodded. little jingzhe was about the same age as yaoyao. yaoyao was four years and three months old, and little jingzhe was four years and two months old. there was only a difference of about a month. little jingzhe was already in kindergarten. logically speaking, yaoyao should be in kindergarten, but because of yaoyaos physical condition, he had never been able to go to kindergarten. children with autism could not get along well with other children in kindergarten. it could also lead to an aggravation of autism. boyuan leaned into the car and reached out to yaoyao. long time no see, yaoyao. welcome to the capital again. yaoyao hesitated and reached out to boyuan. boyuan smiled gently and picked up yaoyao. feeling the weight on his body, boyuan frowned. its much lighter than last time. bolin said, yaoyao is in contact with medicine, but his body cant take it. he vomits and has diarrhea. he didnt eat properly some time ago, so he lost a lot of weight. boyuans heart ached when she heard that. the group returned to the lu residence. boyuans husband, lu jia, was not at home today. recently, lu jias new movie had been released for publicity. there were road shows in various cities and publicity. it was relatively busy. however, he will return to the capital this afternoon. when the time came, he would pick his daughter up from school. after yaoyao arrived at boyuans house, he looked a little more alive. at least his gaze was not as dull as before, and his expression was not as depressed. besides, when boyuan asked him a question, although he wouldnt answer, he would express it with a shake of his head and a nod. bolin lowered his voice. the end of autism is loneliness. he might really be too lonely. boyuan said, yaoyao is indeed very lonely. with that, boyuan looked at bolin. are you going to see li you now? yes, im in a hurry. i wont be in the capital for long. theres been a lot going on in the cabinet recently. as he spoke, bolin raised his hand and looked at his watch. i might have to go to country t tomorrow, or today. time is tight now. i cant delay it. ill talk to little li you today. boyuan asked, then do you have her contact information? i wanted to meet her before. i even asked lu jia to ask someone in the industry for her contact information. ive got it, but i havent had time to go. ill give you her contact information if you need it. theres no need. mom has already given me her contact information. bolin was about to leave when he did not forget to turn around and remind boyuan, thank you for taking care of yaoyao. im still looking for a psychological therapist in the country. if you have a reliable psychological therapist, you can contact her. boyuan nodded. yes, i know. on the other side. li xiwu was called to an impromptu meeting by qi jiangchi. she had left her cell phone in the office and did not bring it with her. yuanyuan was cleaning up when she heard the cell phone on the table vibrate. only then did she realize that it was li xiwus cell phone that she had not taken away. it was probably a call from an important person. yuanyuan quickly picked up her phone and looked at it. in the end, it was a phone number from country t. if there was a phone with a name, yuanyuan would definitely have sent her phone to li xiwu. an overseas call was probably an international fraud. although yuanyuan did not take the initiative to hang up, she did not answer. she put the phone back. the buzzing stopped. after about ten seconds, the cell phone continued to vibrate and buzz. the call came in three times, then it stopped ringing. after about 20 minutes, li xiwu returned from the meeting. yuanyuan had almost finished cleaning the office. miss li, yuanyuan shouted. li xiwu nodded. she had originally gone out empty-handed and came back with several stacks of documents. she placed the documents on her desk and was about to pour herself some water. yuanyuan walked over and said, miss li, your phone kept ringing just now. is that so? li xiwu put down her cup and picked up her phone. did you help me see whos calling? i saw it. its a call from country t. this kind of overseas call is usually a scam, so i didnt send you the phone, yuanyuan said.. Chapter 360 - Chapter 360: Saw Her, Eager chapter 360: saw her, eager translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations hearing this, li xiwu paused. she glanced sideways at yuanyuan. a call from country t? yuanyuan nodded and said, yes, its an overseas call from country t. usually, such calls are fraudulent, so i didnt send you your phone. after a pause, yuanyuan added, of course, i didnt hang up. after saying that, yuanyuan noticed that miss lis expression was a little strange. she became a little nervous. after thinking for a few seconds, she blinked at li xiwu and asked, miss li, dont tell me you really have friends in country t? li xiwus expression was normal. go do other things. yuanyuan nodded. then ill go out first. li xiwu said, mhm. after yuanyuan left the office, li xiwu unlocked her cell phone and saw that there were three missed calls. she opened them and saw that they were indeed from country t) but none of them had a name. was it madam di xin? however, she had saved madam di xins number. the call should show madam di xin. but it was also possible that madam di xin was calling her from another phone. without much hesitation, li xiwu called back. after waiting for a moment, the other party picked up. li xiwu pressed the phone to her ear and heard a mans voice on the other end of the line li you. hearing a stranger call her previous name, li xiwu became more vigilant. you are? sigh she heard the man on the other end of the line sigh. li xiwu wasnt sure what the other party was going to say, so she didnt ask and waited for him to speak first. bolin said, let me introduce myself first. im madam di xins eldest son, bolin sharasin. li xiwu raised her eyebrows. when she heard the words madam di xin, she became much less guarded. when she learned that the other party was madam di xins eldest son, li xiwu was surprised and curious. bolin said, youre probably wondering why i called you, arent you? li xiwu asked, whats the matter? bolin continued, theres something i want to talk to you about. li xiwu asked, now? it was going to be now. bolins tone was regretful. i was going to set off to meet you. i tried to contact you during the process so that i could determine the location of the meeting. li xiwu had already guessed something. you have something on now, so you cant come? on the other end of the line, bolin smiled helplessly. yes, i have to rush back to country t. there are more important matters in the cabinet that require my presence. its an urgent matter. however, after i go back and settle this matter, ill come to the capital as soon as possible in five days. i hope i can see you then. li xiwu expressed her understanding. alright, contact me when you reach the capital. bolin said, okay. although bolin and li you were very familiar with each other, li xiwu did not know bolin sharasin. currently, she only knew that he was madam di xins eldest son. as for why he had rushed to the capital to see her, li xiwu had no idea and could not guess. old friend? it was possible. only when bolin sharasin came to the capital again and the two of them wanted to meet would she know why he was here. it was two in the afternoon. pei jingzhou called. are you done? li xiwu turned off the phone. fourth brother, youre here? pei jingzhou nodded. downstairs. ill be down in a minute, li xiwu said. she told yuanyuan that she would leave early today. if president qi asked, yuanyuan would be in charge of passing the message. li xiwu came out of the company and sat in pei jingzhous car. she smiled and asked him, fourth brother, did you count the time all afternoon? pei jingzhou did not deny it. sort of. at the thought of picking up his daughter from school, pei jingzhou really counted the time until the afternoon. he did not deal with much work. on the way to the kindergarten, li xiwu told pei jingzhou about bolin calling her. she asked pei jingzhou if he knew bolin. pei jingzhou said, yes. li xiwu was not surprised that pei jingzhou said that he knew him. since pei jingzhou often came to country t in the past few years, he should know bolin too. next, pei jingzhou told li xiwu about his past interactions with bolin. unknowingly, they talked all the way. the car arrived at shuoguo kindergarten and the chauffeur pulled over. just as they stopped, a luxury car stopped in front of her. li xiwu put on a mask and was about to get out of the car when she noticed that the man who got out of the car in front of her looked a little familiar. pei jingzhou realized that she was staring at the man in front of her and coughed lightly. good-looking? li xiwu looked away and laughed. no, he looks familiar. pei jingzhou raised his eyebrows. you know each other? li xiwu said, best actor lu jia, i think hes here to pick up his daughter today. the outside world knew that lu jia had a daughter, but his wife had never been exposed. li xiwu retracted her gaze and held pei jingzhous arm. lets go. the kindergarten is open. okay, pei jingzhou replied. they kept a low profile as they walked forward. they passed the luxury car. in the luxury car, boyuan picked up the tablet. the screen was filled with all kinds of delicacies. she was about to ask yaoyao what she wanted to eat later. at this moment, yaoyao suddenly stood up and placed his hands on the car window. boyuan was surprised because yaoyao, who had been very quiet, looked very anxious for the first time in front of her.. Chapter 361 - Chapter 361: The Person He Wanted to See chapter 361: the person he wanted to see translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations yaoyao, who did you see? boyuan asked gently. yaoyao leaned against the car window with both hands and looked out anxiously without answering boyuan. boyuan was a little curious, so she put down the tablet and moved over. she lowered the car window and looked in the direction where yaoyao was looking, but she did not see any familiar figures, let alone familiar faces. seeing that yaoyao was stubbornly looking in that direction and unwilling to retract his gaze, boyuan gently placed her hand on yaoyao. yaoyao, tell auntie who you saw. yaoyao slowly turned his head and looked at boyuan silently. when they looked at each other, boyuan saw that moment of disappointment in yaoyaos eyes. it was as if the person he wanted to see the most had suddenly appeared in front of him and disappeared. boyuans heart ached. he reached out and held yaoyaos face. yaoyao, you can tell auntie whoever you want to see. auntie will take you to see the person you want to see. dont keep it in your heart, understand? yaoyao was silent, then shook his head. it was normal for childrens emotions to fluctuate, but it was not normal for emotions to fluctuate on yaoyao. this was because in a condition like yaoyao, there were very few fluctuating emotions. there was a closed window in an autistic childs heart. no one would knock, let alone open it easily. unless the person yaoyao saw just now was someone who could knock on the closed window in his heart and make yaoyao open the window in his heart. boyuan was very smart. she thought of something and said to yaoyao, be good and stay in the car. ill get out of the car and take a look. ill be back soon. yaoyao didnt react, but he would listen. boyuan got out of the car and looked around, not missing a single direction. her gaze was anxiously searching for the person who might have been expected by yaoyao to appear. either that, or someone who looked like her. however, she found nothing. in the end, boyuan returned to the car and saw yaoyao looking at her blankly. boyuan said, im sorry, yaoyao. i didnt find the person you wanted to see. yaoyao understood what boyuan meant, but he never said a word. a few minutes later, pei jingzhou carried youyou out of the kindergarten. li xiwu walked beside pei jingzhou and held his arm. the scene of the family of three was harmonious and beautiful. most of the children in the kindergarten were picked up by their elders. very few parents came to pick up their children. therefore, the scene of li xiwu and pei jingzhou coming to pick up their daughter at the same time was quickly noticed by many people. they could not help but glance at the two of them. fortunately, the two of them were wearing masks to avoid being recognized. it was fine to be exposed. however, considering that youyou was still young, there would definitely be a lot of scenes facing youyou in the short term after she was exposed. that was not a good thing. li xiwu had also discussed with pei jingzhou that after mother-in-law joy finished broadcasting on the wind platform and her popularity subsided, everything would go according to plan. youyou placed her hands on pei jingzhous shoulders and pointed not far away. she said excitedly, i want that ball, that ball. li xiwu looked in the direction youyou was pointing. there was an old man selling hydrogen balloons there. he had probably just come out of the stall and hadnt sold many yet. they floated in the air in a large cluster of various shapes. pei jingzhou said, lets go and take a look. li xiwu hummed. when they walked to the front of the old man selling hydrogen balloons, the old man saw the family of three and smiled kindly. child, youre out of school. youyou was very polite. li xiwu smiled faintly and turned to ask youyou, which one do you want? youyou looked up at the hydrogen balloons floating in the air and seriously thought about which one to buy. when she was watching from afar just now, she only wanted to buy one urgently. now that she was closer, she realized that she liked every one of them. youyou was dazzled and could not decide which one to buy. the old man introduced them warmly. there are mermaids, spongebob squarepants, woof team, and ultras. lots of them. look, there are even prettier sunflowers. which do you prefer? youyou pointed at the hydrogen balloon in midair. i want she still couldnt make up her mind. li xiwu was about to say that she would buy them all) but pei jingzhou said before her, i want these hydrogen balloons. li xiwu glanced sideways at pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou explained, youyou likes it. li xiwu said, i wanted to say buy them all, but you said that ahead of me. pei jingzhou and li xiwu looked at each other and smiled in unison. other than youyou, the happiest person was the old man selling hydrogen balloons. today, none of them had been sold. as he was an old acquaintance from kindergarten, fewer and fewer children bought hydrogen balloons. most of the children had already bought them. every afternoon, he would come out and walk around. he would only sell three or four before closing the stall. he didnt know what kind of luck he had today, but he had sold them all as soon as he set up the stall. the old man was so happy that he couldnt close his mouth. he calculated the total price. fifteen yuan for a hydrogen balloon. i have a total of nineteen hydrogen balloons. its two hundred and eighty-five yuan. buy them all. ill give you a discount. ill only charge two hundred and eighty yuan. okay. li xiwu took out her phone and planned to pay with wechat. the old man found the payment code from the bag compartment. seeing the old mans payment code, li xiwu hesitated for a moment before putting away her cell phone and looking for cash. pei jingzhou handed her his wallet. theres change in it. li xiwu asked softly, how did you know i planned to pay in cash? pei jingzhou said, pay first. okay. li xiwu nodded. she took out three red notes from pei jingzhous wallet and handed them to the old man. the moment the old man saw the cash, he was clearly very happy. nowadays, only young people are unwilling to use cash. most of the older people followed the previous tradition and preferred to hold cash at all times. the old man happily gave li xiwu the change. then, he untied the hydrogen balloons rope in his hand and walked to youyous side. he seriously tied it to youyous arm. this way, it wont fall. after tying it, he patted it gently. done. youyou was very happy. she looked up at the large cluster of hydrogen balloons in the sky, her eyes bubbling. many children passing by looked enviously at the hydrogen balloons on youyou. it was too eye-catching. youyou reached out and fiddled with the string tied to her arm. the hydrogen balloons in the sky fluctuated with her and began to sway gently. li xiwu reached out and tidied youyous hair. do you like it? youyou nodded. i like it so much. im glad you like it. with that, li xiwu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked at pei jingzhou. fourth brother. pei jingzhou looked at her. li xiwu asked, after buying so many balloons, how are we going to bring them back? put them outside the car? wouldnt that be too conspicuous? Chapter 362 - Chapter 362: Siblings Looking At Each Other chapter 362: siblings looking at each other translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jingzhou smiled faintly. its so eye-catching. youyou probably cant bear to take it off for a while. just open the roof and expose the hydrogen balloons. li xiwu nodded. alright. just as pei jingzhou had said, the journey must have been very flashy. however, youyous happiness was the most important. pei jingzhou extended a hand to li xiwu. li xiwu understood and went forward to hold pei jingzhous arm. is it difficult for you to carry youyou with one hand? pei jingzhou glanced at her and said seriously, if your man doesnt even have this little strength, he wont have anything to say if you kick him. li xiwu couldnt help but laugh. that seems to be the case. seeing that youyous heart was filled with her balloons, li xiwu asked, is there anything else you want to buy? youyou shook her head. no, no. i already have a lot of balloons. li xiwu hoped that youyou would be greedy and want more. that way, she could compensate youyou more and buy her a lot of things she wanted. however, youyou was especially easily satisfied and never asked for much. it was always her and pei jingzhou who stuffed her with more and better things. at this moment, youyou raised her head and counted the shapes and patterns of her balloons one by one. she was completely immersed in todays happiness. many children looked at her enviously, which made youyou feel proud and proud. however, one envious gaze attracted youyous attention. she sensed the direction of the gaze and looked in that direction. it was a little boy. he was leaning against the lowered window, looking at her without blinking. curious, youyou took another look at the little boy. there were people coming and going. from time to time, passers-by blocked their vision. just like that, youyou and yaoyao looked at each other through the passers-by. youyou was puzzled. he noticing youyous reaction, li xiwu and pei jingzhou stopped at the same time. before li xiwu could ask youyou what she had seen, youyou pointed in that direction anxiously. he, he, he youyou did not say what shes talking about. when li xiwu looked over, she only saw the car drive away. she did not see the person in the car. li xiwu retracted her gaze and was surprised to see youyous lonely expression. did youyou see your classmate? yaoyao nodded. yes, yes. li xiwu remembered the license plate number of that car. it was lu jia i s car. could lu jias kindergarten daughter be in the same class as youyou? but that was just her guess. she didnt even know the name of lu jias daughter, so she didnt know how to ask youyou. they left, youyou said in a depressed voice, disappointed. li xiwu comforted her. its okay. you can see her again next week. it was friday, so meeting her classmates again would have to wait until next week. yaoyao didnt say anything. the disappointment on her face was obvious. they left. i wont be able to see them again. li xiwu didnt understand why youyou said that she couldnt see them. perhaps youyou didnt see her classmate? li xiwu asked, youyou, who did you just see? youyou shook her head. buji island. this time, li xiwu was even more puzzled. youyou didnt even know who she was seeing, but she looked so disappointed. she looked up at pei jingzhou. fourth brother, did you see that just now? pei jingzhou shook his head. no. the two of them were so focused on youyou that they didnt notice what she had just seen. meanwhile, in the car. boyuan knew that yaoyao would not answer, but she still asked, what was yaoyao looking at just now? yaoyao lowered his head. compared to his usual expressionless face, there was an additional expression on his face. balloon. boyuan was stunned. she was surprised. lu jia noticed his wifes expression in the inner rearview mirror and smiled to lighten the mood. thats a good boyuan looked up and met lu jias gaze in the rearview mirror. she smiled knowingly. yes, a good thing. little jingzhe, who was sitting in the middle, placed her hand on yaoyaos shoulder. brother, do you like balloons? ill buy them for you, okay? lots and yaoyao was in a low mood. little jingzhes call of brother had changed his mood a little. he was no longer looking down, and his expression was not sullen or expressionless. there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. little jingzhe took her hand away and rummaged through her bag for her watch. she found the payment column and said to yaoyao openly, this is the add-on pay my mother opened for me. there are still tens of thousands of yuan left. i can buy you many, many balloons. i wont lie to you. boyuan chuckled and reminded her, little jingzhe, be more ladylike. little jingzhe turned her head, and her short hair looked extremely layered. actually, it was just that there were too many small hairs and it was easy to bristle when they were tied up, so boyuan and lu jia discussed it and decided to leave little jingzhe with short hair. of course, it was not as short as a boys, but it was longer than a boys hair. coupled with the fact that little jingzhe had perfectly inherited the advantages of boyuan and lu jias looks, it was very difficult for anyone who saw little jingzhe for the first time to confirm her gender. yaoyao shook his head but said nothing. little jingzhe asked, is it because you didnt buy balloons? ill get my father to go to the balloon shop now. ill buy you many, many balloons, okay? yaoyao still shook his head. little jingzhe turned to lu jia, who was driving, and said, daddy, go to the place where the balloons are sold. i want to buy many, many balloons for yaoyao. i want to make him happy. boyuan couldnt stop smiling. little jingzhe, he already said that he doesnt want balloons. lets change to something else. no, no, no. little jingzhe acted like a little adult and waved her hand. boys always dont mean what they say. if they say no, they mean yes. boyuan: lu jia: yaoyao looked even more confused. boyuan really didnt know whether to be angry or laugh. she deliberately asked little jingzhe with a straight face, where did you hear these words? little jingzhe looked at boyuan with a serious expression. didnt mom always say that daddy doesnt mean what he says? you even said, men, hmph, they always say what they dont mean. boyuan: lu jia, who was driving, couldnt stop laughing. boyuan looked at lu jia, who was trying his best to hold back his laughter in the rearview mirror. she cleared her throat and said, what are you laughing at? its all your fault. look at what little jingzhe has learned. lu jia immediately stopped smiling and did not dare to smile again. back home, little jingzhe dragged yaoyao to her room to play lego. she even restored half of the cube she had just learned for yaoyao to see. she was not strong enough to remember the formula and could only restore half of it. however, after this half-restored rubiks cube landed in yaoyao i s hand, it was completely restored. little jingzhes eyes widened.. damn! Chapter 363 - Chapter 363: Going to the Parent-Child Variety Show chapter 363: going to the parent-child variety show translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations yaoyao was stunned. he seemed to be very surprised that this cry was actually from little jingzhe. little jingzhe took back the rubiks cube and messed it up again. she handed it to yaoyao. try again. yaoyao silently took the disturbed rubiks cube and restored it in front of little jingzhe. it was faster than little jingzhe and its twisting was smoother. it was obvious that he had not just learned it, but had learned it for a long time. little jingzhe was so surprised that her mouth could almost fit an egg. she looked at yaoyao with admiration. then, she took the rubiks cube that had been recovered from yaoyao and ran to look for boyuan. mom, mom, yaoyao is too f*cking awesome! boyuans expression twitched. f*cking? who did you learn that from? little jingzhe said, i learned it from daddy. boyuan turned to look at lu jia and glared at him. lu jia, how many times have i told you that little jingzhe is a daughter!! lu jia looked innocent. i didnt say it in front of little jingzhe. boyuan was skeptical. really? little jingzhe rubbed someones nose in it. daddy said it in the movie. lu jia: what an injustice! boyuan was both angry and amused. she took the rubiks cube from little jingzhe and looked at it. it had indeed been completely recovered by yaoyao. then, she showed the rubiks cube to lu jia. i have to say that uncle lis genes are very strong. not only did they extend to li you, but they also extended to yaoyao. lu jias weak voice said, i still cant restore the cube. i cant even compare to a child. boyuan clicked her tongue. no wonder little jingzhe couldnt recover after playing with the cube for so long. so the genes are here. lu jias heart was struck by ten thousand blows. after little jingzhe took the rubiks cube back to find yaoyao, lu jingzhe washed the vegetables and mentioned something to boyuan. nanjias parent-child variety show, wonderful little time, invited me. im quite interested. what do you think? boyuan was cutting meat. when she heard this, she put down the knife in her hand and turned around. you want to bring little jingzhe on this variety show? lu jia nodded. yes, so i plan to discuss it with you. boyuan retracted her gaze, picked up the kitchen knife, and lowered her head to continue cutting the meat. as you know, ive never been very willing to expose little jingzhe. although the paparazzi have also captured you many times and little jingzhes face has appeared in the media, i dont accept excessive exposure. lu jia agreed. alright, i wont participate. boyuan did not know what to say when he said this. she put down the knife, wiped her hands on her apron, and walked over to lu jia. youre just giving up? youre not going to fight for more? lu jia looked sideways at boyuan and smiled dotingly. im discussing with you to ask for your opinion. if youre unwilling, ill naturally reject it. why should i fight for it? boyuan pursed her lips. you have a sense of propriety. lu jia said, after the new movie is released, ill rest for the next month. i originally wanted to take on a variety show this month, but ive changed my mind. why dont we go on a vacation and bring yaoyao along? what do you think? boyuan shook her head. yaoyao isnt in a good state and isnt suitable for a vacation. my brother said to contact a psychotherapist for yaoyao. psychological treatment cant be delayed. with that, boyuan changed her mind. there must be many children on the parent-child variety show youre talking about. i take back what i said just now and think about it again. this way, you can bring yaoyao on the variety show together. lu jia asked, are you serious? of course. boyuan turned. hurry up and wash the vegetables. those two little fellows are hungry. lu jia smiled. okay. currently, lu jia and boyuan had already confirmed that they wanted to participate in the parent-child variety show. on li xiwus side, she also received an invitation. it was gao yueban who called li xiwu personally. at this moment, li xiwu was assisting youyou in filling every corner of the house with hydrogen balloons. she was surprised to receive a call from gao yueban while she was busy. she put the phone between her ear and her shoulder. she didnt stop what she was doing. director gao. gao yueban said with a smile, miss li, are you busy? li xiwu smiled faintly and said, im not busy. tell me. gao yueban did not want to beat around the bush. he directly stated the purpose of this call. after hearing gao yuebans invitation, li xiwu let go of the hydrogen balloon in her hand and took off her cell phone. she raised it to answer the call. director gao, do you mean that my lover and i will participate in this parent-child variety show in the name of intern parents? gao yueban nodded quickly. yes, yes, thats what i mean. gao yueban also said, the invitation to this show is divided into three categories. one is that couples with children participate with their children. the second is that couples without children have accepted the children arranged by the production team as intern parents. the third is that two people are still in a relationship and accepted the children the production team prepare as intern parents. i immediately thought of you for the second category, miss li. with that, gao yueban chuckled. li xiwu did not reject gao yueban immediately. after all, they had worked together before, so it was not good to reject him too directly. she said, director gao, ill discuss it with my husband first.. Chapter 364 - Chapter 364: Joy and Happiness chapter 364: joy and happiness translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations although li xiwu said that she wanted to discuss it with pei jingzhou, what she meant was that she had already implicitly rejected gao yuebans invitation. she had no intention of participating in the parent-child variety show. gao yueban could naturally tell from that and he wanted to fight for more, but he was afraid that he would upset li xiwu if he said too much now. he thought that since the variety show had yet to be officially announced, he would call again in a while. he had to wear her down until li xiwu agreed. after ending the call, li xiwu put away her cell phone. she had no intention of going on a variety show again, so she did not take it to heart. realizing that youyou was looking up at her, li xiwu looked back at her. whats wrong? youyou blinked her big eyes and asked, are you sending me back? li xiwu was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. no. youyou pouted, her cheeks puffed up a little, and her voice was soft. then when is brother coming to pick me up? when li xiwu heard this, her heart sank for some reason. do you want to go back to your brother? youyou didnt answer. she didnt want to, but she knew she couldnt stay in someone elses house for too long. even if she really, really liked someone elses house, she couldnt. li xiwu reached out and held youyous little face. she slowly lowered her head and pressed her forehead against youyous. youyou, youll always live here in the future. well see each other every day. youyou was pleasantly surprised. really? li xiwu nodded. yes, really. everything mommy said to you is true. youyou blinked her big, blank eyes. mom? li xiwus face was gentle. its mom. after a moment of confusion, youyou grinned and repeated, morn ? li xiwu replied, yes. youyou hugged li xiwu and rubbed her face against her arms. im going to call you mom secretly so that brother wont know. li xiwus eyes were slightly hot. she lowered her head and kissed the top of youyous head. its fine even if he knows. your brother wont say anything even if he knows. perhaps youyou did not understand the true meaning of calling her mother. she wasnt calling her mother dragon like others. it was the mother who had given birth to her. but no matter what the meaning was, youyou would be very happy. seeing youyous happy expression, li xiwu suddenly remembered that she had read a lot of books about taking care of children recently. she just planned to study them and understand their inner world. she remembered that there was a sentence in the book. a chemical factor called oxytocin could help individuals build a sense of trust and security. motherly love came from the oxytocin secreted by the womans body during pregnancy. before she was sure that youyou was her daughter, she had a perfect impression of youyou. after confirming it, she was both joyful and happy. she felt very guilty that she had not participated in youyous growth over the past four years. however, when youyou returned to her side, she almost did not try to accept youyou. she was certain that she loved youyou very much. she also wanted to make it up to youyou and accompany her. she wanted to give all her love and care to youyou. so this was motherly love. it was an activation of oxytocin, and it came from instinct. sensing that her fingers were being gently held, li xiwu came back to her senses and lowered her eyes slightly. youyou was holding her index finger with both hands and shaking it. she said in a soft voice, mommy, you have to remember not to tell brother. li xiwu laughed, but in order to reassure youyou, she nodded and replied, yes, i wont tell him. youyou extended her hand to li xiwu. pinky promis+ li xiwu imitated youyous gesture and hooked her finger with yours. then can you call me mom from now on? okay, mom! youyous little finger and li xiwus little finger were tightly hooked together. youre not allowed to change your pinky promise for a hundred years. whoever changes will be pigsy. after pinky swearing, youyou looked up at li xiwu and said, you cant be pigsy. li xiwu laughed. yes, mom will remember. other than the night youyou lived in lake lu where she slept with li xiwu and pei jingzhou, she slept in the guest bedroom every night after that. youyou was more used to auntie lin telling her bedtime stories at night. auntie lin was not suitable to enter li xiwu and pei jingzhous room every night. in order to make youyou happy, she arranged for her to be in the guest room. the childs room was still being set up, but it would take a few days. li xiwu watched quietly at the door until youyou fell asleep. auntie lin put away the storybook, tucked youyou in, and came out quietly. seeing the mistress standing at the door, auntie lin smiled. miss li, rest early. ill have to wait a while. hes not back yet. li xiwu was referring to pei jingzhou. auntie lin knew at dinner that the mister had something on today and would be back late. auntie lin said to li xiwu, youyou is already asleep. she went to the toilet before sleeping. youyou rarely wakes up at night. dont worry about her. ill come over on time. li xiwu said solemnly to auntie lin, youve worked hard, auntie lin. no, no. taking care of youyou is like taking care of my own granddaughter to me. its not difficult. auntie lin was a straightforward person. the tone and the way she spoke were comforting. li xiwus lips curled up and she smiled brightly. then rest early. okay. after auntie lin responded, she noticed that li xiwu was wearing very little. she came out of the guest room and went to the living room. she took the shawl from the sofa and put it on li xiwu. its almost new years day. the temperature has dropped greatly recently. you have to pay attention to staying warm. li xiwu was surprised. she covered the blanket on her body. yes, i understand. auntie lin patted li xiwus shoulder gently before returning to her room to rest in peace. watching auntie lin return to her room, li xiwu was touched. at the same time, she felt very lucky because gu lanshi had found a very, very good auntie for youyou. li xiwu gathered her shawl and was about to return to her room to wait. at this moment, there was a slight movement at the entrance. li xiwu turned around and saw that pei jingzhou had returned. she gathered her shawl and went forward to take pei jingzhous coat. every step pei jingzhou took was light. he leaned over and grabbed the back of li xiwus head. he lowered his head and kissed her. sorry to keep you waiting, honey. i wasnt waiting for you. li xiwu smiled in his arms. i just went to watch youyou come out and was about to go back to my room. she smelled faint alcohol on pei jingzhou. she knew that pei jingzhou had an important dinner tonight. the elites and big bosses of the business world were gathered at this meal, and they were all top figures of the pyramid. that was why pei jingzhou came back a little late. pei jingzhou asked, is youyou asleep? li xiwu withdrew from pei jingzhous arms and placed his jacket on the crook of her arm. she just fell asleep. auntie lin told youyou a proverb story tonight. pei jingzhou asked, what about auntie lin? li xiwu didnt think much of it. she just returned to her room. then, pei jingzhou pressed li xiwu against the entrance. pei jingzhou kissed her with a faint smell of alcohol. li xiwu did not dodge, but pei jingzhous kiss did not land on her lips. instead, it landed on her neck.. Chapter 365 - Chapter 365: Siblings with Different Personalities chapter 365: siblings with different personalities translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu cowered. dont. pei jingzhou buried his face in her neck and rubbed it gently. i drank two more glasses tonight. li xiwu laughed when she heard that. the smell of alcohol is so faint. its probably the first and last glass of two glasses. otherwise, who would dare to force pei jingzhou to drink? even if an old friend dared, pei jingzhou had a way to avoid it. pei jingzhou nodded. the warm kiss lingered on li xiwus neck, making her feel a little itchy. she raised her hand and pushed him gently. go take a shower. mm, pei jingzhou replied, but he had no intention of leaving her neck. seeing that he could not stand up, li xiwu moved her hand to pei jingzhous waist and twisted it. hiss pei jingzhou hissed in pain, but he did not retreat from li xiwu. instead, he tightened his grip on her lower back. his fingertips slid to the top of her back and stopped at the bra button. it was a dangerous gesture. all it took was a gentle flick of his fingertip and the buckle behind her would be lifted. wait, wait a minute before she could stop him, his fingertips had already picked open the bra button. li xiwu felt the front suddenly relax. right on the heels of that, that hand became more and more wanton. li xiwu pressed his hand down. fourth brother, not here. pei jingzhou quickly replied, i know. why did he still mess around when he knew! there were no longer only two people in the house. now, there was youyou and auntie lin. it would be very awkward if they made any noise and were heard. however, pei jingzhou knew his limits and would not go overboard. because he had drunk tonight, pei jingzhou was afraid that the alcohol smell from the meal would be despised by li xiwu, so he kissed li xiwus neck. li xiwu was helpless against pei jingzhou, so she could only threaten him. go take a shower. if you dont go now, stay alone tonight. ill sleep with youyou later. pei jingzhou chuckled. okay, ill go right away. with that, pei jingzhou retracted his hand. before returning to the bedroom to wash up, pei jingzhou stood outside the guest bedroom for a while, as if he wanted to go ln. li xiwu noticed and put pei jingzhous jacket away. she walked over and said, youyou should be asleep now. if you want to go in and take a look, you can. she shouldnt wake up. however, try to be as quiet as possible. pei jingzhou replied, okay. he did open the door to the guest bedroom, but he didnt go in. he didnt turn on the lights. he just stood in the doorway for a moment, then came out and closed the door quietly behind him. seeing this scene, li xiwu smiled knowingly and went back to the bedroom to wait for him. half an hour later, after washing up, pei jingzhou wrapped himself in a robe and went to bed. li xiwu was sitting and waiting for him. when pei jingzhou reached out, she slapped him back. i have something to tell you. pei jingzhou reached out again. you can do whatever you want. what i do wont affect each other. li xiwu was caught between laughter and tears. she pressed his hand down. listen to me first. pei jingzhou looked at her serious expression and smiled. huh? li xiwu told pei jingzhou about gao yuebans invitation to the parent-child variety show. pei jingzhou twirled a strand of her hair with his fingertips and played with it casually. after hearing her words, he asked her, do you want to go? not really, but i think i have to tell you, li xiwu said. pei jingzhou paused and looked at her. li xiwu raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, were you touched by your wifes behavior? pei jingzhou leaned over. yes, im touched. it was clearly a casual tone, but his expression was so serious. li xiwu continued, im not an artist. your identity isnt suitable to be in front of the camera all the time. besides, the production team has arranged for a child to be taken care of for us. why dont we take youyou ourselves? but i dont have any plans to expose youyou yet. this was li xiwus clear attitude. everything else was a small matter. she did not want to expose youyous existence too early. all she wanted now was to live a stable life with youyou and pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou looked at her. is there anywhere you want to go? li xiwu said, hmm? pei jingzhou said, well bring youyou out to play. its just the three of us. li xiwu smiled and asked, next year? pei jingzhou said, there are still ten days until new years day. its indeed next year. when auntie lin mentioned that it was almost new years day, li xiwu did not think that it was almost time to welcome the new year. now that pei jingzhou reminded her, li xiwu realized that it would soon be a new year. she took the initiative to move over and lean into pei jingzhous arms. after the annual meeting, which is after new years day with that, she looked up at pei jingzhou and paused for a few seconds before continuing. ive always planned to go to country t to meet madam di xin. why dont we take youyou to country t after new years day? pei jingzhou said, you want to see madam di xin to ask about her pregnancy back then? yeah. li xiwu nodded. i dreamed of sitting and talking to madam di xin when i was pregnant in country t back then. other than gu lanshi, madam di xin was also someone who knew about my pregnancy, so i wanted to meet her. pei jingzhou pondered for a moment and replied, okay. li xiwu noticed the slight change in pei jingzhous expression. fourth brother, you should be investigating already, right? from the day he recognized youyou, pei jingzhou should have started investigating what had happened back then. however, she did not know how much pei jingzhou had found out so far. she sat up and looked at pei jingzhou seriously. fourth brother, if youve already found out the truth about my pregnancy back then, i hope you wont hide it from me. she really wanted to know. pei jingzhou sat up and pulled her into his arms. back then, you could give birth to youyou without me knowing. i only know about it now, but im only starting to investigate now. its no different from adding a lot of trouble. if i find out the truth, ill tell you. this last sentence was his promise and assurance to her. li xiwus voice was muffled. actually, i suspect that when i was brought back to the country by you back then, my mental state was terrible when i woke up. it wasnt just because of my parents death. i should have thought that youyou was gone too actually, pei jingzhou had also thought of this. otherwise, why would she be in so much pain when he went to see her after he was discharged? her mental state was at its peak. he was still afraid when he thought about it. if his hypnosis had been a step later, li xiwus mental state would definitely have suffered aftereffects. other than meeting madam di xin, theres also yaoyao. i miss him quite a lot. at the mention of yaoyao, li xiwus face was full of smiles. madam di xin said that yaoyao has slight autism. i wonder if hell feel better after returning to country t. yaoyaos stubborn appearance appeared in pei jingzhous mind. gradually, yaoyaos stubborn look formed a sharp contrast with youyous smiling face. he said lightly, two children with completely different personalities. li xiwu pursed her lips. i learned from madam di xin that yaoyao was originally an orphan.. Chapter 366 - Chapter 366: Pressed Against the Corner chapter 366: pressed against the corner translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu was not sure about yaoyaos condition. on the day she first met yaoyao in the hospital, it was madam di xin who told her that yaoyao suffered from mild autism. but later on, when yaoyao interacted with her, he was very lively and had a good personality. but now that she thought about it, it was only when they got along. she remembered the first time she saw yaoyao. he hid behind the door and hid himself in the darkness, not seeing anyone. li xiwu lowered her eyes and said worriedly, other than autism, i wonder if yaoyaos stomach will feel better after he returns to country t. pei jingzhou asked, is yaoyaos stomach not good either? yes. li xiwu nodded. yaoyao was born prematurely. from the moment he was born, his body was not good. his stomach has always been very weak. if he cant adapt to a place, he will have serious acclimatization. in addition, he has a slight autism at this point, li xiwu could not continue. pei jingzhou turned his head. ill arrange the trip to country t after new years day. pei jingzhou knew what she was thinking. li xiwu was relieved. okay. on this day, li xiwu sent youyou to kindergarten with pei jingzhou as usual. after sending youyou off, pei jingzhou sent her to the company. she got out of the car and pei jingzhou handed her her bag. li xiwu took it and asked, are you really going back to the pei residence today? pei jingzhou said, youan is back from school. well take youyou back and show them. li xiwu smiled. but auntie isnt back yet. that day, they agreed to go back to the pei residence together. she had also promised han qianye on the phone, but han qianye suddenly called her again at night and said that she wanted to accompany her uncle on a long trip. it was a business matter. han qianye did not say where that place was at that time. since han qianye and pei qingji were not at the pei residence, li xiwu and pei jingzhou naturally did not bring youyou back to the pei residence the next day. thinking about it, she decided to wait for han qianye to return from her long trip before bringing youyou over. however, pei youan had returned from his home leave today and had called long ago to say that he was coming to lake lu. instead of coming to lake lu, it was better for them to return to the pei residence. therefore, on the way here, pei jingzhou mentioned to li xiwu that he was returning to the pei residence today. pei jingzhou looked at her. mom and dads itinerary is in malaysia this time. they probably wont be back for a week. well bring youyou back to the pei residence to stay for a few days and wait for them to come back. li xiwu nodded. alright, ill go in first. pei jingzhou stopped her. honey. li xiwu turned. yes? pei jingzhous face tilted slightly, and the hint was obvious. li xiwus pursed lips curled up. without hesitation, she turned back. she reached out to pei jingzhou, hooked his neck, and pulled him out. pei jingzhou probably did not expect her to be so rough. by the time he reacted, li xiwu had already raised her face and kissed him. this was a simple and crude kiss that happened before pei jingzhou could react. it was rare for him to be slow, but this was usually in front of li xiwu. the kiss was very light) like a dragonfly skimming the water. it passed in the blink of an eye. li xiwus eyes were filled with a wicked smile. fourth brother, are you surprised? pei jingzhou licked his lips and smiled. what do you think? in other words, he was pleasantly surprised. at this moment, li xiwu had yet to let go of pei jingzhous neck. the way she hooked his neck with one hand looked very seductive. li xiwu had never done this before. on a whim just now, she did so. she was quite satisfied with herself, but clearly, looking at pei jingzhous reminiscent expression, he should be even more satisfied than her. she didnt care if anyone entering or leaving the company saw the scene just now. it was more obvious that the car was parked here. her arm was still hooked around pei jingzhous neck. she slowly said in a soft voice, jinzhu shared it with me. she said that all men actually like to be kissed by girls. they fantasize about being pressed to the corner and kissed crazily. and its the especially tough kind. pei jingzhou smiled meaningfully. seeing him smile, li xiwu asked, fourth brother, do you think its very childish? no. pei jingzhous smile deepened. im thinking you should invest in someone as eloquent as xue jinzhu. it should be a sure win. li xiwu couldnt help but laugh. if jinzhu heard your words, she would probably worship you. pei jingzhou chuckled. then, he leaned over and kissed the corner of li xiwus lips. the chauffeur in front couldnt bear to watch, but he thought to himself, sir and madam have been married for three years but they are still having the feelings of a newlywed. im afraid ten or twenty years will also be a honeymoon period for them. im going in, li xiwu said. pei jingzhous gaze was doting. mm. after watching li xiwu enter the company, pei jingzhou asked the chauffeur to drive. li xiwu was rather busy today. after settling the companyi s matters, she still had to take xue jinzhu to see a producer. xue jinzhu knew about todays arrangements, so she dressed up beautifully before she went out. she wore a dress with a skirt and a fur coat. yuanyuan praised, so beautiful, so elegant, a rich flower. xue jinzhu said, a rich flower? doesnt this praise sound too old-fashioned? yuanyuan blinked and said, sister jinzhu, dont you know that being praised as a rich flower is an absolute affirmation of beauty? xue jinzhu held her face and asked with a smile, really? yuanyuan nodded. of course its true. sister jinzhu, i actually suggest that you adopt the image of a rich flower. look, youre so beautiful and your family is very rich. youre simply a rich flower! who wouldnt like such praise? xue jinzhu reached out and hooked her round chin. as expected of an assistant of two celebrities. youre really good at fooling people. yuanyuan. ? li xiwu walked over and placed her hand on xue jinzhus shoulder. miss yu will be here soon. are you mentally prepared? xue jinzhu vowed, i was ready the moment i went out. dont worry, miss li. im very capable. just because i know how to spout nonsense. li xiwu: although li xiwu kept feeling that xue jinzhu was unreliable, xue jinzhu was indeed very good at doing things. her usually jumpy personality was obedient in front of the producer, and she restrained herself just right. she would not let the producer feel that shes too unbending, but she would not make the producer feel like she was too relaxed. her first impression was especially good. the producer was very satisfied with xue jinzhu and immediately said, try on your makeup! well try on your makeup today! hence, li xiwu brought xue jinzhu to audition again. in the car, yuanyuan drove while li xiwu and xue jinzhu sat in the back. xue jinzhu held li xiwus arm and said coquettishly, miss li, my performance today was very good, right? li xiwu had always praised her when she should. she was not afraid of xue jinzhu i s pride. you did well. xue jinzhu giggled. of course. i feel very good about myself.. Chapter 367 - Chapter 367: Approaching Li Xiwu chapter 367: approaching li xiwu translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu adjusted her more comfortable sitting posture slightly. its best if you keep being so confident and optimistic. of course i have to be confident. xue jinzhu touched her cheek. after all, im as beautiful as a flower. compared to xie wen and ji weiling in the past, li xiwu indeed liked xue jinzhu and her natural confidence. due to her good family environment, she did not feel inferior. even if others pointed at her nose and scolded her, she would not find fault with herself. instead, she would immediately retort and think about compensation. she would never let herself suffer at all. xue jinzhu was a classic example. instead of reflecting on herself, it was better to insult others. however, li xiwu still told xue jinzhu some honest words. although the director decided on you last time, the producer has always wanted to meet you. sometimes, affinity is really important. the producer has always had a unique taste. if the producer is satisfied with you, you can basically sign the contract. if you give the producer a bad impression and the producer is not satisfied with you, the producer might replace you under the pressure of capital. xue jinzhus eyes widened. in other words, even if my father spends money, he will replace me? li xiwu continued, only a small number of people dare to take this risk and resist such pressure. most of them will still compromise even if they are barely satisfactory or very bad. capital only cares about the return. after all, who will go against money? xue jinzhu crossed her arms and leaned back. so money isnt enough. so you have to hurry up and film. hurry up and become famous. if you become a big star in three to five years, you will be the bellwether of capital. xue jinzhu was encouraged. ill definitely become popular. li xiwu smiled and patted xue jinzhus shoulder. silly girl, you have zero works at the moment. its very important to produce a work. after the car arrived at the company, someone in the company recognized li xiwu and knew that she had brought an artist to dress up today. he immediately came over to lead the way. xue jinzhu was very capable of taking charge. li xiwu did not need to follow her closely. this was a period drama called the blue bird record. the female lead was the incarnation of the blue bird and the envoy of the queen mother of the west. xianxia dramas mainly focused on heartbroken love stories. the identities and mystery-solving of the male and female protagonists were supplements. the middle story was meandering, and at the end, one of the male and female protagonists was sacrificed to move the audience. ever since the start of the business sponsorship, there had been many artists who wanted to take a bite of the the blue bird record. this time, they used xue jinzhu, a newcomer, as the female lead. it could be considered an adventure. in the end, the effect of xue jinzhus makeup test satisfied everyone. just by looking at the appearance, it was very in line with the scriptwriters portrayal of the female lead. producer yu was very stunned. she turned to li xiwu and said, little xues appearance is very malleable. im very satisfied with the first makeup. im looking forward to the rest. li xiwu smiled faintly. jinzhu has read the script repeatedly and figured out the role. when the stylist was doing her makeup just now, she pointed out some details and made changes. no wonder the first makeup was so perfect. producer yu looked surprised and praised, this is the attitude of a female lead. not bad, not bad. li xiwu chatted with the producer for a while. at this moment, someone patted li xiwu on the back of her shoulder. she turned her head and saw a man who looked a little familiar, but she couldnt recognize him. she asked, and you are? the other party smiled and introduced himself. my name is ke yuyang, lu jias manager. hearing the words ke yuyang, li xiwu immediately remembered. no wonder she felt that the other party looked a little familiar just now, but she couldnt remember where she had seen him before. it turned out that it was best actor lus manager, ke yuyang. she was a little surprised to meet keyuyang here, and he even took the initiative to come over and greet her. li xiwu extended her hand. hello, boss ke. now that ke yuyang was already a partner of yinghuang entertainment, his identity should indeed be called boss ke. ke yuyang did not put on any airs at all. he shook li xiwus hand. were all artist managers. you can call me old ke. by the way, did miss li bring an artist here for a makeup test today? li xiwu smiled faintly and nodded. yes. ke yuyang glanced in the direction where xue jinzhu was and said to li xiwu, a new artist? li xiwu said, mhm. ke yuyang said meaningfully, she looks familiar. li xiwu did not avoid the topic. xue jinzhu, she went on a variety show with me and we became friends in private. she expressed to me that she wanted to enter the industry to film. i thought her image was good, so i signed her. although everyone knew it. but some things couldnt be said directly. there had to be a proper reason. ke yuyang praised, shes indeed very beautiful. shes born to eat this. li xiwu smiled and asked, did old ke come alone today? no, theres still lu jia. with that, ke yuyang turned around and pointed at the person standing behind him. i accompanied lu jia here to chat about the script today. im about to leave after chatting. i thought your back looked a little familiar just now. it took me a while to recognize you, so i came to greet you. li xiwu asked, isnt the new movie being released recently? did you accept another new movie? no, ke yuyang said. lu jia is planning to take on a variety show recently. he came over today to talk about the variety show script. li xiwu was a little surprised. i remember that lu jia rarely takes on variety shows. was the last time he took on a variety show five or six years ago? the last time he took on a variety show was six years ago. ke yuyangs expression was calm. the reason he came into contact with it this time is because its a parent-child variety show. i wonder if miss li knows that lu jia has a daughter whos already four years old. li xiwu replied, on the day the little princess was born, lu jia specially posted on weibo. at that time, it was trending. i saw it. the outside world knew that lu jia married in secret and had a daughter, but his wife was well protected by him and was rarely photographed by the media. as for who it was, li xiwu did not intend to ask further. ke yuyang said, miss li, are you in a hurry? why dont you go over and sit down to chat? okay, li xiwu agreed. in any case, she was just waiting. there were still a few more sets of makeup on xue jinzhus side. it was enough for her to wait. instead of waiting like this, she might as well find someone to chat with. after li xiwu told yuanyuan, she followed ke yuyang to sit down and drink tea. the two of them were both managers and had a lot to talk about. in the end, they went back to the entertainment industry and continued chatting. at this moment, lu jia came over after chatting with his friend. ke yuyang stood up and introduced, lu jia, this is hua guan medias manager, li xiwu. i know. lu jia looked at li xiwu with a gentle smile and reached out. ive heard a lot about you, miss li. li xiwu reached out and clenched her fists. hello, mr. lu. the two of them retracted their hands. as soon as they sat down, lu jia said to li xiwu, miss li, my wife is your fan. these words came so unexpectedly that li xiwu almost didnt catch them.. Chapter 368 - Chapter 368: Seeing Yaoyao chapter 368: seeing yaoyao translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu looked at lu jia opposite her and was stunned for a few seconds. then, she immediately smiled. your wife likes to watch variety shows too? no, shes a fan of mother dragon. she learned a lot of dishes from mother dragons videos and even asked me to learn with her, he said with a faint smile. li xiwu asked, then how many dishes has mr. lu learned? lu jia looked troubled. cooking is a skill. its a little difficult. ive only learned a few simple dishes. im still exploring them. li xiwu smiled faintly. take your time exploring. miss li, dont forget to update the video. recently, as long as my wife is free, she has been repeatedly scrolling through your accounts homepage. she keeps nagging that you havent updated the video. coincidentally, i met her today, so ill help her update it. li xiwu replied, okay, ill think about what to make when i get back. lu jia spoke in a funny but not humorous manner. his tone was gentle, making her feel close, but just rightly distant. that was the normal behavior of a married man socializing outside. after chatting for a while, lu jia made a call to his wife in front of li xiwu. lu jia said to boyuan, i saw your idol today. guess who it is. boyuan guessed correctly. li xiwu? lu jia said, yes. boyuan was surprised. really? is she still here? lu jia replied, shes still there. the cell phone was not on speaker. coupled with the fact that they were sitting opposite each other, li xiwu could only hear their voices and not the other end of the line. however, she guessed that it was probably mr. lus wife because his tone was too doting. soon, lu jias words confirmed her guess. he said to li xiwu, its my wife. i told her that i saw you today. shes at home now and its not convenient for her to come over for the time being, so she asked me to ask if i could video chat with you. although li xiwu was surprised, she still said happily, sure. she had thought that what lu jia had just said was mostly polite. his wife might just be interested in her updated food video, so she said that she was her fan. just as she was thinking, lu jia picked up the video call with boyuan. lu xia said a few words to bo yuan in the video, then turned the phone screen around and faced li xiwu. miss li, the video has been connected. my wife wants to speak to you. okay, no problem. li xiwu quickly adjusted her sitting position and looked at the screen. when she saw the woman appear on the screen, li xiwus intuition told her that mrs. lu should be a foreigner. her facial features were very exotic. but it was not a european or american face. such a thick face looked more like northern myanmar or country t. wow, its really you, li xiwu. i thought lu jia was lying to me. boyuans surprised voice came from the video. li xiwu smiled faintly. hello, mrs. lu. hello. i didnt expect to see you like this today. im so happy. it was obvious that boyuan was really happy. at this moment, a little girl pounced into boyuans arms and hugged her arm. mom, teach me the rubiks cube yaoyao wont teach me. boyuans face was gentle. little jingzhe, its not that yaoyao doesnt want to teach you, but yaoyao isnt good with words. he doesnt know how to teach you. little jingzhe frowned. why doesnt yaoyao like to talk? i have to coax him to talk to me. boyuan smiled and waved. go~ little jingzhe ran towards yaoyao. after little jingzhe left, boyuan looked at the camera and said, sorry, that was my daughter. li xiwu restrained her gaze and her expression changed slightly. mrs. lu, is your daughters name little jingzhe? boyuan smiled calmly. yes, she was born on the day of jingzhe. lu jia gave her a nickname, little jingzhe. li xiwu asked again, then, yaoyao is? boyuan ignored the question. do you like children too? li xiwu pursed her lips. i didnt have much interaction with children in the past. but i like them very much now. im glad you like children. why dont i change the camera and show you my brat? with that, boyuan changed the front of the camera to the back and faced yaoyao and little jingzhe. li xiwus expression did not change when she saw the screen change. but when she recognized one of the two children on the screen, she suddenly leaned forward, her eyes wavering.. yaoyao? Chapter 369 - Chapter 369: Intentional chapter 369: intentional translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the rear camera quickly switched over, and boyuans face appeared on the screen. im sorry, i forgot that it wasnt cleaned up over there. its a little messy. ive embarrassed myself. li xiwu smiled. i didnt actually notice. these words eased the trace of embarrassment on boyuans face. she smiled and said, the hygiene at home wont last more than half a day. theres no choice. there are two children at home. the word two children seemed to be deliberately said. li xiwu didnt know if it was her imagination, but before she could see yaoyaos face clearly, the camera changed. li xiwu hesitated for a moment but couldnt help but ask boyuan, i heard mr. lu mention his daughter and saw little jingzhe just now. then the other little boy who is he? yaoyao boyuan replied naturally, hes my nephew. li xiwu pursed her lips slightly as many doubts surfaced in her heart. nephew? was the child she saw in the video just now that taciturn yaoyao? then who was boyuan? just as she was feeling puzzled, boyuans voice sounded. my brother came to the capital to do something and brought yaoyao to the capital to play for two days. however, coincidentally, my brother had something on at the last minute and went back, but he will come again in a while, so he left yaoyao with me. li xiwu narrowed her eyes. she suddenly remembered the call from country t. he said that his name was bolin sharasin. he had just arrived in the capital and wanted to meet her, but because he had something to deal with in country t, he had to rush back to country t. however, he would come to the capital again after some time and said that he would contact her again. as for boyuan in the video, when she first saw her, she felt that boyuan had the looks of a woman from northern myanmar or country t. she also remembered that madam di xin had said that her daughter had married into the capital. bolin, boyuan. li xiwu strung these together and understood. she already had an answer. she looked up at boyuan on the screen and said, you should be boyuan sharasin, madam di xins daughter? boyuan looked surprised. how did you know my last name? after the surprise, boyuan seemed to react quickly. did lu jia tell you? lu jia, who was using his phone as a tool, said, ive always said my wife in front of miss li. old ke can testify for me? with that, lu jia turned the phone screen around and faced ke yuyang. ke yuyang sat upright and said twice, ill testify. ill testify. opposite her, lu jia also asked li xiwu curiously, how did miss li know my wifes surname? as he asked this, he turned the phone screen around and faced li xiwu so that boyuan could see her. li xiwu looked up and said softly, ive met madam di xin a few times. madam di xin once said that her daughter had married into the capital. coincidentally, i received another call two days ago. the other party called himself bolin sharasin. at this point, li xiwu slowly looked up at boyuan in the video. ive also come into contact with yaoyao. i recognized yaoyao just now, so i speculated that you should be bolin sharasins sister, madam di xins daughter, miss boyuan sharasin. boyuans face lit up with surprise and approval. youre still smart. li xiwu grabbed the keyword of this sentence and looked puzzled. boyuan knew her from the past? boyuan seemed to be able to tell what li xiwu was thinking at this moment. she smiled and raised her voice. im really your fan. i used to like you very much, and i like you very much now. i even want to see you. as long as li xiwus comprehension ability was a little weaker, she should treat this sentence as boyuan simply wanting to meet her idol as a fan. obviously, lu jias video call was not spontaneous. it was deliberate. in order for her to see boyuan? or, to see yaoyao in the video? li xiwu, boyuan called out to her in the video. li xiwu came back to her senses and did not think about the reason for this for the time being. she looked at boyuan and saw her waving at her. im very happy to see you in such a way. i wont disturb your conversation. see you again if fate allows it. li xiwu suddenly panicked. wait. boyuan was in no hurry to hang up. she smiled and asked, whats wrong? li xiwu imew what was going on, but she couldnt help but say, i know this is a little presumptuous, but i still want to trouble you. can you let me say a few words to yaoyao? just a few words. it wont take up much of your time. ever since they parted last time, she had missed yaoyao. she thought that since she couldnt meet him in person, it would be good to talk to yaoyao in the video. as long as yaoyao was in a good state, she would feel more at ease. boyuan did not reject her request and readily agreed. of course. whats there to worry about? youve interacted with yaoyao before. yaoyao must have left a deep impression on you. its reasonable for you to want to see him again. li xiwu was very touched by boyuans understanding. thank you. wait a moment. ill go to yaoyao now. okay. li xiwu waited patiently. at this moment, li xiwus attention was focused on the video, so she naturally did not notice lu jias expression. ke yuyang glanced sideways at lu jias expression and saw the corners of his lips curl up into a meaningful smile. of course, ke yuyang knew what this smile meant. just now, he had appeared to greet li xiwu because lu jia asked him to do so. the video call was also arranged by lu jia. ke yuyang was not sure what his goal was. however, ke yuyang was not curious. boyuan had already walked to yaoyaos side with her phone. she pointed the camera at yaoyao, who was sitting on the ground, then squatted down and said gently, yaoyao, look at whos in the video. yaoyao turned at the sound. when he saw li xiwu appear in the cell phone video, there was no surprise or joy on his face. there was no joy at all. he only took a glance before he retracted his gaze and continued to twist the cube in his hand. it was a fourth-tier rubiks cube. when little jingzhe, who was beside him, was still trying to restore the cube, yaoyao was already doing so. no one had ever taught him how to restore the cube. it was just that after watching a video of the cube being restored, he remembered the formula and figured it out a few times. then, the difficulty increased step by step. after he turned his head, he fiddled with it seriously. whether boyuan called out to him twice, three times, or four times, he did not turn back again. he focused on the fourth-tier rubiks cube in his hand. boyuan was very helpless. she said to li xiwu, yaoyao hasnt been in a good mood recently. the only thing that can interest him is the cube in his hand. other than that, he likes to be alone and the quiet atmosphere.. Chapter 370 - Chapter 370: Actually, She Cares chapter 370: actually, she cares translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwus heart was heavy. she didnt say anything for a long time. boyuan explained, yaoyao has slight autism. his condition has been a little more serious recently, so he doesnt pay much attention to others. dont misunderstand that he doesnt like you because of this illness. li xiwu felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart. she asked softly, has yaoyao been like this recently? yes, boyuan replied. li xiwu wanted to ask something else, but after a moment of silence, she retracted her words. yaoyao was adopted by madam di xin, and boyuan was only an auntie in name. it was already very good that she could take care of yaoyao. as an outsider, she could only care about him. if possible, she really wanted to go to boyuans house to see yaoyao. however, it was not easy to say this. she was not familiar with lu jia and boyuan. it was indeed not good to suggest going to the lu residence as soon as they met. it made it seem like she had other intentions. she was silent and did not speak. she looked at yaoyao, who was silently twisting the cube, reluctantly. on the other end of the video, boyuan seemed to be able to read li xiwus thoughts. she suddenly said, i can tell that youre very concerned about yaoyao. if you have time, you can come over and take a look. when li xiwu heard this, surprise flashed across her eyes. she asked nervously, can i come over and see yaoyao? boyuan smiled gently. of course. its just that. after a pause, boyuan added, you saw yaoyaos current situation just now. hes very resistant to strangers and likes to be alone he usually doesnt have much emotion and is always quiet. when you come to see him, you might have to be prepared for him to ignore you. actually, boyuan was not sure about yaoyaos thoughts. did yaoyao remember li xiwu or not? when yaoyao saw li xiwu in the video just now, he did not react at all. boyuan was very nervous. when li xiwu came to see him, would yaoyao ignore her? i know all this, li xiwu said. i can come over today if its convenient. boyuan did not expect li xiwu to be so eager. she asked again and again with uncertainty, you can come over today? li xiwu replied, yes, i can. boyuan said, then let lu jia bring you over. by the way, what do you like to eat? ill get auntie to prepare it. hearing that boyuan was going to entertain her, li xiwu immediately said, theres no need to trouble yourself. im just here to take a look at yaoyao. how can that do? boyuan smiled at li xiwu in the video. youre my idol. this is the first time my idol has come to my house, so i have to entertain you well. to be honest, im very excited now. im looking forward to you coming. li xiwu replied, okay. she ended the video call. lu jia put down his phone and rubbed his wrist. its not easy to be a tool. li xiwu said apologetically, thank you, mr. lu. lu jia rubbed his wrist. dont call me mr. lu. it feels like a high hat. i dont feel at ease wearing it. in the past two years, ive only produced one work a year. im almost unable to afford the title of best actor. li xiwu continued, although theres only one work a year, its of good quality. youve already taken all the grand slams. that was true. lu jias strength was obvious to all. after winning the best actor award, his reputation and popularity had always been good. after announcing his marriage, he did not lose fans. instead, he gained more female fans. in the entertainment industry now, to dare to announce that he was married at his most popular time, he was really very responsible. moreover, lu jia cared for his family. outside, he was a glamorous best actor, but inside, he was a very responsible and responsible husband. lu jia was very humble. sigh, actually, ive wanted to quit filming for a long time, but sometimes, when i think about it, i feel sorry for so many fans who grew up with me, so i still maintain one project a year. li xiwu could understand his thoughts. compared to his career, he cared more about his family, but his responsibility was not just his family. he also had tens of millions of fans who had accompanied him through this. lu jia asked li xiwu, miss li, is it convenient for you to leave now? its convenient. li xiwu slowly stood up. ill talk to my assistant. wait for me for two minutes. lu jia made an inviting gesture. go ahead. ive finished chatting about the variety show script. ill wait for you outside. li xiwu replied, okay. at this moment, li xiwu was worried about yaoyao. she couldnt wait to see him, so she had to go today. she walked towards yuanyuan. seeing her return, yuanyuan took a few steps forward. miss li, are you done chatting with mr. lu and the rest? not yet. li xiwu raised her hand and looked at her watch. its still early. go back to the company after accompanying jinzhu. you dont have to wait for me. yuanyuan guessed, did mr. lu treat you to a meal? li xiwu smiled and lied naturally. its ke yuyang. he has a lot of connections in the industry. today is an opportunity to get to know him. i can expand my own connections. yuanyuan was enlightened. that makes sense. then, she quickly waved her hand. miss li, go quickly. when sister jinzhus third set is done, ill talk to her. after its over, ill bring her back to the company. okay. after li xiwu responded, she had already turned around and walked out. when she came out, she recognized lu jias car at a glance. it was the same car she had seen at shuoguo kindergarten last time. the license plate was exactly the same. she walked over and ke yuyang got out of the car. he opened the car door for li xiwu. miss li, please. li xiwu said to ke yuyang, thank you. on the way to the lu residence, lu jia did not find much to talk about with li xiwu. li xiwu was worried about yaoyao, so she was more at ease without any topics. when they arrived at the lu residence, ke yuyang drove away. lu jia led the way and brought li xiwu straight to the elevator. it was probably because lu jia had sent boyuan a message downstairs in advance. when the door opened, boyuan was standing inside to welcome her. the moment she saw li xiwu, she went forward excitedly. youre finally noticing the way boyuan was looking at her, li xiwu did not know how to respond. however, one thing was certain. boyuan did know her from when she was in country t. seeing that li xiwu was cold, boyuan smiled and went forward. she naturally held li xiwus hand intimately. come in quickly. at this moment, not only was li xiwu a little restrained, but she was also a little hesitant about going in. this was the first time she had come to the lu residence, and she had just met boyuan. although she had known lu jia for a long time, the two of them had never interacted. because she wanted to see yaoyao, she had never thought rationally about whether she should come or not. instead, she came directly. she had not even thought about whether this was a trap. thinking of this later, li xiwu felt a trace of fear. but she thought that if it happened again, she might still follow lu jia here without hesitation just to meet yaoyao. boyuan saw her hesitation and asked, arent you coming in? beside her, lu jia also looked at li xiwu. li xiwu did not hesitate for long and did not care about that. she only wanted to see yaoyao now, so she went forward. sorry to disturb you. after entering, boyuan led the way. as she walked, she said, yaoyao is in little jingzhes childrens room. he has been sleeping with little jingzhe recently. its quite good, li xiwu replied. she didnt know what to say, but she replied that it was quite good to ease the atmosphere. boyuan smiled. youre too restrained. li xiwu did not reply and just followed silently. she originally thought that bo yuan would pull her in to chat about the past) but after bo yuan welcomed her in, she did not mention anything and brought her to see yaoyao. at the door of the childrens room, bo yuan stopped and turned to look at li xiwu. dont you realize that everything today is too coincidental? li xiwu was stunned. what? boyuan said, youll be confused if you care. li xiwu pursed her lips. boyuan looked enlightened. you care a lot about yaoyao, right? these words stumped li xiwu. did she care about yaoyao? in what capacity did she care about yaovao? was it iust because yaovao was ditiful? was she being compassionate or something? li xiwu asked herself many questions. but she had no answer for herself. actually, i have a lot to say to you, but i can tell that youre anxious, so i brought you to see yaoyao first. hes inside. go in first, boyuan said to li xiwu.. Chapter 371 - Chapter 371: Yaoyao Enduring chapter 371: yaoyao enduring translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the childrens room was very bright and decorated in a princess style. hello kitty was everywhere, and there were many dolls. the curtains and bed curtains were also pink muslin, and the princess bed was even more dreamy. there were two children sitting on the thick carpet. they both had short hair. if li xiwu had not seen little jingzhe in the video before she came, she would probably have thought that boyuan had given birth to a son. and now, sitting on the thick carpet were two little boys. the carpet sucked sound. as li xiwu slowly approached, there was almost no sound under her feet. yaoyao sat quietly on the carpet and focused on the fourth-tier rubiks cube in his hand. even though little jingzhe was chattering beside him, it did not affect him at all. little jingzhes personality was lively to begin with, and yaoyao had been ignoring her. she was not playing, so she kept talking, wanting yaoyao to pay attention to her. this rubiks cube isnt fun at all. play with me, okay? yaoyao. yaoyao, do you like to watch paw patrol? lets watch paw patrol together, okay? youre on top of my pikachu. get up, get up. give it to me. give me the rubiks cube. my mother bought it. whether little jingzhe was fooling around or being noisy, yaoyao was veryquiet and never said a word. however, he was not completely wooden. when little jingzhe asked him to get up, yaoyao would also get up obediently. in fact, he was not pressing down on pikachu at all. pikachu was on the princess bed. then, little jingzhe snatched the rubiks cube away. yaoyao let little jingzhe snatch it away and would not take the initiative to snatch it back. after losing the cube, yaoyao quietly looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him and at the row upon row of tall buildings. nothing seemed to affect his emotions, make him angry, or cause him to have strange emotions. ill give it back to you, you little nerd. it was not until little jingzhe stuffed the rubiks cube back into yaoyaos hand that yaoyao retracted his gaze and lowered his head to continue restoring the rubiks cube in his hand. his actions reminded li xiwu of a marionette. he did not have his own thoughts. he was dominated by the person who carried the thread. li xiwu stood at the back and watched quietly for a while. when she saw yaoyaos current state, her heart felt stuffy and she felt indescribably uncomfortable. little jingzhe had hit a wall in front of yaoyao many times and was bored. she wanted to go out and play with her mother. she stood up slowly. when she turned around and saw li xiwu standing there, she was shocked ah! this shock shocked li xiwu, too. then, she panicked and said quickly, im not a bad person. im not a bad person. im as li xiwu spoke, yaoyao, who was silently sitting there to restore the cube, suddenly turned around. when he saw li xiwu, he was stunned at first, and it was obvious. then, right on the heels of that, his usually calm eyes showed some surprise. his emotional expression reached its peak at this moment. boyuan, who had heard the commotion, was very surprised to see yaoyao reveal such an expression. however, in the next second, the surprise in yaoyaos eyes disappeared and was replaced by that expressionless expression. he silently turned his head and lowered his head, continuing to restore the cube in his hand, as if the child who had expressed his emotions very vividly just now was not him. it was just an illusion that li xiwu and boyuan had seen. little jingzhe slowly walked up to li xiwu. other than the shock of suddenly seeing a stranger, she was not afraid of li xiwu at all. she looked up and asked, who are you? why are you in my house? li xiwus lips twitched. just as she was about to speak, boyuan, who was walking over from behind, said, little jingzhe, shes moms good friend. you have to call her auntie? little jingzhe stared at li xiwu, her gaze darting back and forth. after a while, she said, is she my aunt whom ive never met? boyuan smiled and nodded. yes. little jingzhe said to li xiwu, ive seen you on television before. my mother likes to watch you act on television. boyuan corrected her. thats a variety show. little jingzhe put her hands on her hips and said reasonably, anyway, i saw auntie on television. boyuan laughed out loud. the core is right. little jingzhe walked forward and took the initiative to hold li xiwus hand. she shook it gently up and down. hello, auntie. li xiwus heart softened. she slowly squatted down and covered little jingzhes hand with her other hand. nice to meet you, little jingzhe. although she had been shocked just now, this did not affect little jingzhes good impression of li xiwu. girls liked beautiful things and beautiful people. little jingzhes impression of li xiwu was that she was super beautiful. boyuan went forward and reached out to little jingzhe. little jingzhe, didnt you say yesterday that you wanted to help me make egg tarts? mommy has already prepared the flour ingredients and is waiting for you to help. okay. little jingzhe walked happily towards boyuan boyuan wanted to take little jingzhe out now and leave space for li xiwu and yaoyao. before she left, she said to li xiwu, were all outside. if you need anything, you can call me. li xiwu looked up at boyuan and thanked her sincerely. thank you. boyuan smiled. were friends. theres no need to be polite. ill take little jingzhe out first. li xiwu stood up. okay. the door was not closed, and boyuan and little jingzhe gradually disappeared from li xiwus sight. she turned around and stood still for a while before walking towards yaoyao, who was sitting there quietly. after approaching, she squatted down beside yaoyao and noticed that the rubiks cube in yaoyaos hand was about to be restored. li xiwu remained silent and did not disturb him. after about a minute, the rubiks cube in yaoyaos hand successfully recovered. however, yaoyao did not put down the rubiks cube just because he had completed the restoration. instead, after messing up, he repeated his previous actions and restored it. li xiwu pursed her lips and shouted softly, yaoyao. yaoyao paused for only two or three seconds. as if he hadnt heard anything, he continued to restore the cube in his hand. just like that, li xiwu had unknowingly squatted for a long time. her legs were numb, but she did not get up. instead, she simply squatted down. yaoyao heard a movement beside her and resisted turning to look at li xiwu. when li xiwu reached out tentatively, yaoyao turned sideways and turned around, choosing to turn his back to li xiwu. li xiwu: at this moment, li xiwu felt indescribably helpless. because when she interacted with yaoyao previously, yaoyaos attitude towards her was not like this. he was clearly very clingy the first time they met, but for some reason, he did not even look at her this time. was it because he had forgotten about her? li xiwu sighed softly and slowly said, im sorry, yaoyao. i didnt know you came to the capital and lived here. if i had known earlier, i would have come to see you earlier. yaoyaos recovery of the cube was much slower than before. however, because his back was facing her, li xiwu did not see the subtle change.. Chapter 372 - Chapter 372: Guessed His Intentions chapter 372: guessed his intentions translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations come to think of it, she and yaoyao had not been apart for long. therefore, li xiwu was unwilling to believe that yaoyao ignored her and looked at her with an unfamiliar gaze because he didnt remember her. she felt that the possibility was very small. yaoyao was a very smart child. he shouldnt have suddenly forgotten her, however, seeing that yaoyao was ignoring her, li xiwu really didnt know what to say. she looked at yaoyaos small figure in silenceo after a long time, she slowly stood up. she did not imow that the rustling sound when she stood up was magnified in yaoyaos ears. halfway up, yaoyao suddenly turned to look at her. just like that, their eyes met. li xiwu immediately froze in her actions. she even forgot for a moment if she planned to sit down or get up. she looked a little at a loss. until yaoyao said the first thing hed said since they met, are you leaving? hearing yaoyao speak, li xiwu suddenly came back to her senses and squatted down again. she adjusted her composure and immediately replied, im not leaving. however, yaoyaos expression did not change, nor did he say anything else. he turned her back on li xiwu and lowered his head to continue fiddling with the cube in his hand. this time it was fiddling, not restoring it. this was because yaoyaos mind was not on the cube now. he was afraid that li xiwu would suddenly leave. li xiwu could guess part of yaoyaos thoughts. she tried to reach out and put her hands on yaoyaos shoulders, turning him to face her. although she had turned yaoyao around, yaoyao lowered his head, unwilling to look up at her. li xiwu called out gently, yaoyao? yaoyao ignored her. li xiwu continued, how have you been recently? have you eaten properly? i remember that the last time you came to the capital, you were a little unaccustomed to the environment, causing your stomach to be weak. is it the same as last time? yaoyao still ignored her. li xiwu took a deep breath. actually, ive always wanted to 20 to country t to see you halfway through her sentence, yaoyao, who had his head lowered, suddenly looked up and stared at li xiwu. then why didnt you come? these words stumped li xiwu. if she answered that she had originally decided to go to country t after new years day, would yaoyao believe her? i, i li xiwu spoke extremely slowly and explained, ive been busy with work recently. i wanted to come to country t to see you when im done. yaoyao pressed the corners of his lips down. it was an expression that only people in low spirits would have. it was so low that it seemed like he would cry in the next second. however, yaoyao suppressed his emotions and turned his face away from li xiwu. he said in a low voice, you wont come. li xiwu quickly said, i will. you wont come. yaoyao sounded like he was crying. you wont come. dont come either. i dont like you. li xiwus heart ached when she heard yaoyao say that he didnt like her, but she still maintained a smile and asked, why doesnt yaoyao like me anymore? yaoyao lowered his head sadly and did not answer. just as li xiwu was about to say something else, yaoyao suddenly said to her fiercely, go out. li xiwu was stunned. yaoyao repeated, get out. i dont like you. li xiwu took a deep breath and asked with difficulty, does yaoyao really not like me anymore? yaoyao nodded and answered seriously, i dont like you anymore. it was normal to be hated by a child. children also cared about fate. moreover, they had always been sincere. if they liked someone, they liked them. if they hated someone, they hated them. for those they liked, they wished they could hold them in their hands. they couldnt wait to reject those they hated. li xiwu thought that yaoyao really hated her and did not want to see her. she was afraid that if she shamelessly said anything else, it would make yaoyao hate her even more, so she swallowed all the words she wanted to say to yaoyao. she would probably have to find another opportunity. and yaoyao was in a bad mood to begin with. she couldnt keep annoying him. hence, li xiwu propped herself up on the ground and slowly stood up. after looking at yaoyao reluctantly, she turned around and left the childrens room. the moment she came out, she met boyuan, who was standing outside the door. they looked at each other awkwardly. boyuan had tricked little jingzhe out. after tricking her out, she handed little jingzhe to lu jia to watch. she stood outside the door, not entirely eavesdropping. she just wanted to see with her own eyes if li yous appearance could relieve yaoyaos terrible mood. however, she seemed to have overestimated li xiwus effect on yaoyao. whether it was the video call or li xiwus trip here, yaoyaos attitude towards li xiwu was completely that of a stranger. this puzzled boyuan. from her brothers words, yaoyao should have a good impression of li xiwu. otherwise, she would not have let lu jia take this opportunity to bring li xiwu to the lu residence to see yaoyao. she thought that if yaoyao ignored li xiwu in the video, what if li xiwu came personally? however, the final development was too different from what she had expected. you boyuan was the one who spoke first. the latter was li xiwu. li xiwu said, you go first. boyuan didnt stand on ceremony, but it wasnt convenient to talk at the door. she gestured. lets talk outside. li xiwu agreed. okay. at that moment, lu jia and little jingzhe were on the terrace. lu jia was teaching little jingzhe to speak the language of country t. it was all a simple greeting and easy to learn. you said my surname today. you should know that im from country t, right? boyuans voice was very gentle, just like the smile on her face. but i used to speak more english, but later on, i learned chinese. speaking of which, it was fate. not long after i learned chinese, i met lu jia, who came to country li xiwu thought of something and continued, i remember that back then, the real-life movie, bridge effect, starring lu jia, was very popular in country t after it was broadcast. it was even more popular than in china. that year, lu jia seemed to have gone to country t to receive an award. boyuan smiled. it was that time that lu jias movie suspension bridge effect broke the viewership ratings in country t. he was invited to country t to receive the award. i met lu jia at that award ceremony. li xiwu glanced sideways at boyuan, who was smiling like a flower. fate is often so romantic and wonderful. boyuan couldnt deny it. i think so too. the two of them chatted about other things briefly. boyuan did not mention the topics she had known li xiwu about in the past. knowing that li xiwu had lost her memory, she said that those things in the past were useless, so the topic naturally returned to yaoyao. boyuan said, i thought yaoyao would have different emotions for you. i didnt expect it to be the same. perhaps its because his condition has worsened. ive been contacting the mental therapist recently. li xiwus heart sank. she asked, why is yaoyao in the capital when he wasnt in a good state? boyuan replied casually, i only know that my mother asked my brother to send yaoyao to me. miss boyuan sharasin. li xiwu suddenly called the other partys name solemnly. boyuan was a little surprised. huh? li xiwu voiced her doubts. i didnt think too much before i came, and its the same after i came. but now that l i ve calmed down and thought about the various scenes today, i feel that its too much of a coincidence.. i dont want to expose the reason, but i want to ask, is there anything you havent told me? Chapter 373 - Chapter 373: Because You Gave Birth To A Son With Him chapter 373: because you gave birth to a son with him translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations boyuan looked at li xiwu in surprise. do you think i havent told you something? li xiwu pursed her lips. not exactly. boyuan smiled. could it be a guess? li xiwu did not answer and looked at boyuan quietly. instinct seemed small. she was just speculating. based on everything that had happened from the moment she saw lu jia to when she entered the lu residence and saw yaoyao, she made a guess. she wasnt entirely sure, actually. she was just waiting for boyuan to tell her the answer. youve always been smart. its not surprising that you guessed. boyuan looked up and smiled. li xiwu asked, then can you tell me? actually its not very convenient, was boyuans reply. li xiwu sighed, okay, i understand. seeing that li xiwu had compromised and stopped asking, boyuans expression was slightly more serious than before. its not inconvenient for me to say it, not that i dont want to tell you, but i have some concerns. i need to confirm something with you before i can tell you. i understand. li xiwus eyes flickered. so what do you want to confirm? boyuan turned sideways and pretended to think. at this moment, she was thinking about telling li xiwu directly: you actually have a son with him, and that is yaoyao. or maybe tactfully testing the waters first: do you remember ever having a child before? the former seemed too direct. there was a high chance that she would scare li xiwu, and then she would have to explain for a long time. the latter was more suitable in a gradual manner. she had to mention it first before delving into the topic. then, she would take the opportunity to tell li xiwu that yaoyao was her son. boyuan decided to tell li xiwu in the latter way. that way, she wouldnt scare her. therefore, boyuan, who had decided, suddenly shouted, li you li xiwu was stunned, but she did not respond. boyuan reacted. im sorry, i should call you li xiwu. youre using this name now. its fine. although im using the name li xiwu now, im still li you. you can call me that. it didnt matter even if she wasnt used to it. after she regained her memories in the future, she would eventually adapt. boyuan smiled. okay, ill still call you li you like before. li xiwu smiled back. boyuan continued, i want to ask you something. although you dont remember the past, youve been found by the mo family recently, which means that you already know your identity and who your parents are. then can you tell me what else you imow? i li xiwu pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before choosing to tell boyuan frankly, i know i still have a daughter. boyuans pupils were dilated with obvious shock! li xiwu was not surprised by boyuans reaction. she explained, when i found out about my background, i wasnt that shocked and accepted it very calmly. but when i found out that pei jingzhou and i had a four-year-old daughter, i couldnt believe it either. it felt like a dream. with that, she saw that boyuan was still in shock. li xiwu shouted, boyuan? boyuan didnt react. li xiwu raised her hand and waved it in front of boyuan. boyuan, are you listening to me? boyuan came back to her senses, but the shock was still on her face. at this moment, boyuan grabbed li xiwus wrist and asked agitatedly, you had a daughter with him back then? initially, li xiwu could understand boyuans shock, but boyuans overly shocked reaction puzzled her. this reaction was even more unbelievable than when she first found out that she had a daughter. however, in the face of boyuans question, li xiwu chose to answer frankly, yes, he and i have a daughter called youyou. shes already four years and three months old. she just came back to us. boyuan immediately said, its fake! li xiwu. boyuan was so agitated that she blurted out, its fake! after saying that, she realized that she regretted it. li xiwu was puzzled. why do you say that? because because you have a son with him!!! it was yaoyao! yaoyao is the son you had with him! how did it suddenly become a daughter? and she had already acknowledged her. after the shock, boyuan quickly calmed down and remained rational and sober. she sorted out the contents of her conversation with li xiwu as quickly as possible. she had forgotten about her hand and was still holding li xiwus hand tightly. li xiwus wrist hurt a little. she reminded her softly, boyuan, can you let go of your hand first? boyuan was stunned for two seconds before she immediately let go. im sorry, im sorry. did my grip hurt you? li xiwu smiled back. im fine. by the way, li you, can you tell me how you and he found your daughter? boyuan asked curiously. she had to ask before making a judgment. li xiwu could tell that boyuan was eager to know this. she could choose not to say anything, but after hesitating for a moment, she told boyuan everything that had happened between her and pei jingzhou taking youyou back. she tried her best to avoid what gu lanshi had done before. it was also relatively concise, but the general process was still complete. after boyuan heard this, the shock on her face finally calmed down. she only asked her calmly, then did you bring your daughter for a paternity test? li xiwu said firmly, i gave birth to youyou. theres no mistake. boyuan reminded kindly, a lot of things will happen in four years. dont be so rash. i still suggest that you take your so-called daughter for a paternity test. at this moment, boyuan felt that there was something wrong with this daughter who had suddenly been picked up. perhaps someone had misled her!? yaoyao was clearly her and pei jingzhous son! however, boyuan knew very well that if she said it rashly, it was another matter whether li xiwu believed it or not. what was the motive of the person who sent her daughter to the two of them? to be safe, boyuan chose to be more cautious. after all, her brother had handed yaoyao to her, so she had to protect him. after hearing bo yuans words, li xiwu asked, what did you mean just now? boyuan said, its li xiwu asked, what is it? boyuan: the air went quiet. li xiwu waited for boyuans explanation, but boyuan suddenly fell silent. after a long while, just as boyuan was trying to say something to ease the atmosphere, li xiwu said directly, boyuan, im very sure that youyou is my biological daughter. the paternity test can prove it, but your kind reminder was right. ill bring youyou to do another paternity test with him. boyuan was surprised. in other words, the daughter you picked up only did a paternity test with you, but she hasnt done a paternity test with him yet? li xiwu nodded. mm. boyuan murmured, then there must be something wrong. when you get back, you have to do another paternity test. li xiwu pursed her lips. i will. its just a matter of time.. what about you? can you tell me now? Chapter 374 - Chapter 374: So He’s Jealous chapter 374: so hes jealous translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations boyuan began to stammer. wh-what? li xiwu could tell that boyuan was deliberately perfunctory. she knew that she wouldnt get the answer she wanted if she continued asking, so she decided not to ask. she looked at her watch and said, ive been here for more than two hours. i should go back. but you agreed to stay here for dinner. boyuan stopped li xiwu. li xiwu smiled faintly. i didnt say that. it was boyuans turn to be speechless. she thought back carefully. it seemed that li xiwu had indeed not said anything about staying for dinner. she had always been the one taking the initiative. however, boyuan was not so thin-skinned. she continued, since you didnt say that, ill invite you to stay for dinner again tonight. can you stay? li xiwu looked troubled. i boyuan suggested, tell you what. why dont you call him for dinner, too? in the face of boyuans kind invitation, coupled with the fact that the two of them were friends in the past and she had even seen yaoyao today, logically speaking, it would be inappropriate for her to refuse again. besides, it wasnt like they wouldnt interact in the future. li xiwu hesitated for a few seconds before replying, okay. boyuan was delighted. thats great. li xiwu said, but i have to go back. the smile on boyuans face suddenly disappeared. youre not coaxing me, are you? no. li xiwu smiled and said lightly, i want to bring youyou here too. boyuan composed herself. she really wanted to see that little girl. it would be good if li you brought that little girl along. alright, but you cant stand me up. ive ordered a lot of dishes and seafood. auntie has already prepared them in the kitchen. if you dont come, we wont be able to finish so many dishes, boyuan said. li xiwu nodded. we will definitely come. they chatted happily. although li xiwus doubts were unanswered, she was already very satisfied to see yaoyao today. boyuan sent li xiwu out the door. after watching her leave, she closed the door. after sighing, she muttered in a low voice, why did a daughter suddenly appear back then, she clearly gave birth to yaoyao. from the day her mother carried yaoyao back, she knew that yaoyao was born by li xiwu. however, at that time, everyone thought that li xiwu was no longer around. now, the position that should have belonged to yaoyao was replaced by a little girl who suddenly appeared. she didnt know who did it or if they had any ill intentions. boyuan sighed softly and turned around, preparing to talk to lu jia about this. when she turned around, she saw yaoyao, who was supposed to be in the childrens room, standing quietly in front of her. yaoyao was holding a restored rubiks cube in his hand. he looked up at her as if he had something to say. boyuan thought that she was hallucinating. just as she was about to ask yaoyao if something was wrong, yaoyao had already spoken before her. is she gone? he asked in a muffled voice. she? li you? no, thats not the point. the point is that yaoyao really took the initiative to talk to her!!! yaoyao didnt wait for boyuans answer. he repeated what he had just said. is she gone? boyuan was overjoyed because yaoyao had taken the initiative to talk to her. she quickly squatted down and replied, she just left. when yaoyao heard this, he didnt say anything else. he took the cube and turned to leave. boyuan: she reached out and grabbed yaoyaos wrist. then, she pulled yaoyao in front of her and asked gently, yaoyao, are you reluctant to let her go? yaoyao lowered his eyes and remained silent. this scene made boyuan think that she had an illusion just now. this illusion was that yaoyao did not take the initiative to talk to her. it was her imagination! but she was very clear-headed and knew that she was not hallucinating. yaoyao just didnt want to speak anymore after hearing her answer. boyuan reached out her hands and held yaoyaos cheek. she gently raised it. yaoyao, shell come again. yaoyao suddenly reacted when he heard this. he slowly raised his eyes and looked at boyuan. seeing that yaoyao finally reacted, boyuan exhaled. you do care about her. you cant bear for her to leave just like that, but why didnt you pay attention to her when she came to see you? yaoyaos voice was muffled, and his words were clear. she has a child she likes. boyuan: therefore, her doubts were completely answered at this moment. so yaoyao was jealous! except. boyuan was curious. when did you meet the little girl? she had never even seen it before. yaoyao did not answer her and remained silent. boyuan guessed, outside the kindergarten, right? yaoyaos pupils changed slightly. boyuan knew at a glance that she had guessed correctly. it was that day at the kindergarten when she picked up little jingzhe that she specially brought yaoyao over. in the car, yaoyao seemed to have seen something and suddenly leaned against the car window, looking out anxiously. it turned out that the people yaoyao saw that day were li xiwu and the others. and he had seen it more than once! no wonder yaoyaos mood became even worse after he came back that day. boyuan pulled the lonely yaoyao into her arms and hugged him gently. she comforted him. that little girl is staying at her house. she will be picked up after a while. youve misunderstood her. yaoyao didnt believe it at all. he only believed what he saw. he came out of boyuans arms and turned back to the childrens room. when boyuan saw yaoyao like this, her heart ached even more than when she saw him usually keep his head down and not say a word. he must have thought that the person he was thinking about didnt like him anymore, so he was very sad. it was also because he was jealous that he ignored li xiwu. his thoughts were clearly innocent, but no one would know his grievances if he didnt say so. li xiwu had hitched a ride here this afternoon. so she had to call a car herself when she got back. the car arrived. she put on a mask and gave the address of pei jingzhous company. after a twenty-minute drive, the car stopped outside the building. li xiwu did not take off her mask when she entered. just as the front desk was about to ask her if she had an appointment, li xiwu took off her mask. i the front desks eyes widened and she raised her voice. mrs. pei! li xiwu coughed lightly. keep your voice down. the front desk obediently lowered her voice. lady boss. li xiwu smiled. i have something to discuss with president pei. is president pei busy now? lady boss, please wait a moment. ill call assistant chen. the front desk picked up the phone and did not forget to ask li xiwu before dialing. do i need to mention you? li xiwu shook her head. no need. recently, pei jingzhou has been a little busy. li xiwu knew very well that if she asked him on wechat if he was busy, he would definitely say that he was not busy. she asked through the front desk that if pei jingzhou was very busy now, she would go back and wait. she would not disturb his work. and she came here this time only to tell pei jingzhou about going to the lu residence today. after the front desk finished asking, she said to li xiwu, lady boss, president pei just returned to the office. li xiwu nodded. okay, i understand. she took the elevator upstairs. his secretary, wang kaiheng, recognized her at a glance. he stood up and was about to call for help when li xiwu made a shushing gesture. wang kaiheng understood and immediately shut his mouth. she walked over and asked, is president pei inside? wang kaiheng stammered, um, hiss, p-president pei just ended a meeting. hes hes inside? li xiwu said, secretary wang, have you been tongue-tied recently? wang kaiheng: seeing that wang kaiheng was about to help her open the door, li xiwu gestured that there was no need. wang kaiheng immediately looked bitter. li xiwu saw something.. whos here? Chapter 375 - Chapter 375: Pei Jingzhou Is Henpecked (1) chapter 375: pei jingzhou is henpecked (1) translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations in li xiwus opinion, this expression meant that there was someone else other than pei jingzhou in the office. li xiwu asked, whos here? its, its wang kaiheng stammered. li xiwu had already seen through it and smiled. it seems that secretary wang is too free usually. youre so free that you dont even know how to open your mouth to speak. wang kaiheng: she went forward and knocked lightly on the door. just as she was about to push the door open and enter, chen xin suddenly came out of the office. seeing li xiwu at the door, he asked in a normal tone, madam, when did you come? li xiwu said, i just arrived. with that, she was about to go in when chen xin stopped her. madam! li xiwu frowned and looked at chen xin in confusion. whats wrong? usually, when li xiwu came to the company, chen xin would welcome her in immediately. today, chen xin stopped her outside. li xiwu couldnt help but wonder what pei jingzhou was doing inside. or who he is meeting. madam, mr. pei is on an important call, chen xin explained. li xiwu took a deep breath and said softly, if hes meeting someone important, i understand that i cant go in and disturb him, but hes just answering the phone. why cant i go in? chen xin knew very well that his words were a little clumsy just now, but if he let madam in at this time and saw that woman, it would probably be difficult to explain. he did not expect madam to suddenly come over at this time. chen xin? li xiwu called out. chen xin came back to his senses and quickly replied, aye. when he answered, chen xin did not dare to look at li xiwu at all, afraid that li xiwu would see through his panic. little did he know that the more he avoided her gaze, the less he dared to look at li xiwu, the more it meant that there was something wrong. li xiwu did not intend to ask anything else from chen xin. she pushed him forward and pushed open the door to enter. madam! before chen xin could stop her, the door was opened by li xiwu. just as li xiwu was about to enter, a woman suddenly appeared at the door. it was a woman li xiwu had never seen before. it was a very unfamiliar face. the woman was wearing a dark green cheongsam with a high slit. the cheongsam was printed with roses and permed flowers. because the slit beside her legs was extremely high, it made her legs look fair and long. they were extremely seductive. as the saying went, flirtatious, charming, and extraordinary. when li xiwu sized up li xiwu, she was also sizing her up. when they looked at each other, she covered her mouth and smiled. youre mrs. pei, right? li xiwu replied calmly, yes. logically speaking, li xiwu should be very vigilant when a charming woman like xiang wanning appeared in pei jingzhous office. but she realized that her emotions were calm. was there a hint of anger? yes, when chen xin deliberately lied to her just now. other than that, she did not feel angry at all, because she did not think pei jingzhou would do anything behind her back. she did not know why she was so firm in her belief, but she trusted pei jingzhou. xiang wanning narrowed her slender fox-like eyes and said with a smile, guess those small employees wanted to take credit when i came to the company, so they reported it to mrs. pei, right? li xiwu smiled. no. isnt that so? i thought mrs. pei heard the commotion and specially came over. from the looks of it, mrs. pei is more patient than i thought. chen xin couldnt stand it anymore. mrs. he, you halfway through his sentence, chen xin saw pei jingzhou coming out and immediately stopped talking. xiang wanning asked chen xin with a smile, what about me? pei jingzhou said, you can leave. when she heard pei jingzhous voice, she did not turn around. she leaned her upper body against the door frame and smiled charmingly. compared to mrs. peis calmness, president pei seems to be more impatient. i couldnt tell that president pei is also very henpecked. li xiwu looked up at pei jingzhou. she had seen him since he came out. pei jingzhous voice was cold. this is my company. mrs. he, please save some dignity for me. if news of me being henpecked spreads from mrs. he, as the boss, where will my dignity be in the company in the future? xiang wanning smiled when she heard that. she played with her newly made burgundy manicure and said slowly, president pei is right. if i accidentally spread the news, not only will president pei lose his dignity, but mrs.. pei will probably become a famous fierce woman in the entire aristocratic circle! Chapter 376 - Chapter 376: Pei Jingzhou Is Henpecked (2) chapter 376: pei jingzhou is henpecked (2) translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu, who was inexplicably called a fierce woman: pei jingzhou gestured to chen xin. send mrs. he off. chen xin nodded and made an inviting gesture. mrs. he. before xiang wanning left, she glanced at li xiwu and said meaningfully, l also want to learn mrs. peis husband-controlling skills. i wonder if mrs. pei has time to teach me some other day? li xiwu smiled back and corrected her. l believe mrs. he misunderstood or was instilled with the wrong concept. the so-called husband-controlling technique is a woman interfering too much and trying to use a way to modify the other party to obtain the husband-and-wife life she wants. in the end, it resulted in a disharmonious and unhappy marriage. this is not something worth promoting. xiang wanning choked and said, mrs. pei, youre right, but my relationship with my husband isnt good. how can i reconcile it? when li xiwu heard this, she didnt know what expression to show. in the end, she only replied, im sorry, mrs. he. im not a relationship consultant and cant answer your question. pei jingzhou looked impatient. of course, it was because xiang wanning had not left for a long time. he reached out and held li xiwus wrist. go in first. li xiwu nodded and was about to enter with pei jingzhou. behind her, xiang wanning suddenly stopped her. mrs. pei. li xiwu stopped in her tracks and tapped her fingertips on pei jingzhous palm, indicating that she would wait. she turned around and looked at her. is there anything else, mrs. he? xiang wanning smiled. l really envy you. to li xiwu, this was a very strange sentence. only she knew that xiang wanning was really envious of li xiwu. li xiwu only smiled back at this. she originally didnt need to be bothered, but seeing the sadness and loneliness flash in the other partys eyes, li xiwu still said, l didnt finish my sentence just now. when a woman becomes dependent, her negative emotions will turn into aggression, in a vain attempt to subdue a man in another way. this has become the husband-controlling technique mrs. he mentioned. actually, thats not the case. dont be too dependent. its enough for the two of them to become the best collaborators. xiang wanning seemed puzzled by this. a collaborator? li xiwu nodded. yes, but it depends on how you interpret it. hearing this, the smile on xiang wannings face disappeared, and her expression was much more serious than before. mrs. pei is indeed from a high-ranking family. your words are thoughtful and meaningful. this sounded a little sarcastic at first glance. but she could tell from her expression that she wasnt being sarcastic. she was serious. li xiwu only counseled her and did not say anything else. if she continued, it would make her look like she was preaching. she didnt have much ability herself. she wasnt qualified to teach others how to live. xiang wanning said, goodbye, mrs. pei. then, with chen xin leading the way, they left. in the office. li xiwu came and went as she pleased. she poured water and sat down. her expression was as usual, and she did not show any unhappiness because of the small episode she had just encountered. just as she was about to put down the cup, pei jingzhou reached out to take it. are you so relieved that you wont ask me? li xiwu looked up at him. ask what? pei jingzhou said, werent you overthink when your husband is alone with a woman in the same room? li xiwu smiled faintly. l admit that my husband is an outstanding and charming man. its normal for other women to admire him. of course, ill be jealous, but i can tell the situation. i wont choose to be deaf and blind under such circumstances, then question you and say that i wont listen to your explanation. pei jingzhou!s thin lips curled up. honey, if you do this, i wont even have a chance to explain. li xiwu raised her eyebrows slightly. what are you trying to say? pei jingzhou sat down beside her, his arm naturally behind her. his other hand was still holding the glass of water that li xiwu had drunk. he raised his hand to take a sip, then leaned over and asked, can you praise me again for what you just said? li xiwu said, is that all you want to say? pei jingzhou nodded. yes. he thought that li xiwu would probably not cooperate with such a boring matter, but to pei jingzhous surprise, li xiwu really praised him. my husband is handsome, divine, outstanding, and charming. hes definitely one in a million.. Chapter 377 - Chapter 377: Pei Jingzhou Is Henpecked (3) chapter 377: pei jingzhou is henpecked (3) translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations after praising him, she asked pei jingzhou, do you think its realistic to praise you like this? pei jingzhou smiled and leaned over to kiss her. li xiwu raised her hand to stop him. l still have something serious to say. she was here to tell pei jingzhou that she was going to boyuans house as a guest. besides, guests should be more self-conscious about being guests. they shouldnt go too late. after all, she could not let everyone in the hosts family wait on an empty stomach. however, before she could speak pei jingzhou asked her, dont you want to ask me why mrs. he is looking for me first? li xiwu turned around and faced pei jingzhou with a slightly serious expression. its fine if you dont say anything. whats going on between assistant chen and secretary wang? that mrs. he came to look for you. secretary wang and assistant chen even covered for you. if theres really something between you and her, assistant chen and secretary wang have really done a great job. pei jingzhou: pei jingzhou could not explain. he called chen xin over. at this moment, chen xin had just sent xiang wanning downstairs when he received a call from pei jingzhou and rushed back. as soon as chen xin entered, he saw li xiwu sitting in the middle of the sofa with her legs crossed and her arms crossed, looking like she was asking a question. on the other hand, mr. pei was sitting at the side, rubbing his eyebrows with his fingertips and smiling helplessly. chen xin was extremely nervous. he walked forward. madam, mr. pei. pei jingzhou removed his hand and looked up at chen xin. have you sent her away? chen xin replied, mrs. he drove here herself, so i didnt send her outside. pei jingzhou turned his face away and remained silent. this made chen xins heart beat like a drum. he swallowed and knew what to say at this moment. he slowly lowered his head and explained, madam, that mrs. he usually dresses more and she always deliberately says things that make people misunderstand. im afraid that youll misunderstand when you see her coming to look for mr. pei. li xiwu took a deep breath and said calmly, assistant chen, do you know? i wouldnt have thought too much about it. you could have just let me in. if it affected their conversation, i would have avoided it myself. instead, its easier for me to misunderstand and think too much if you stopped me from going chen xin explained, actually, its because of mrs. hes history. she squeezed out second master hes wife. its not honorable to begin with, but because of young master he, she had some interaction with mr. pei. at this point, chen xin paused. actually, those words should not have been said by a man like him. it was not appropriate, making him look like a despicable person who was discussing others behind their backs. however, there was no one else around now. if he did not explain clearly, he was afraid that mr. pei would not be able to pass this hurdle. he carefully glanced at mr. peis expression and saw him frown slightly. chen xin quickly continued, of course, there are some precedents. even if mrs. he successfully became the second madam of the he family, she usually doesnt know her place. she secretly flirted with some married men and attracted their attention, causing disharmony in their marriage. i was also worried about this, so li xiwu said, thats why you stopped me from going in. are you afraid that mrs. he will mislead me with a few words and affect my relationship with fourth brother? chen xin lowered his head. im sorry, madam. i didnt consider this matter properly. li xiwu suppressed a smile. youre indeed lacking in consideration, but your starting point is not wrong. chen xin added, of course, madam, if you have any conflict with mr. pei, the entire company will suffer. li xiwu raised her eyebrows and smiled. is it that exaggerated? chen xin sweated and carefully glanced at pei jingzhous expression before daring to continue. madam, you dont know, but every time you come to the company, mr. pei is very happy. everyone in the company can tell, so everyone says in private that youre mr. peis candy. li xiwu murmured, ea candy. chen xin was no longer as nervous as before, and his speech became a little lighter. sugar can improve ones mood. its a combination of physiology and psychology, and the human brain needs serotonin and adrenaline the most. sugar can satisfy this demand of the brain immediately. li xiwu glanced sideways at pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou supported his chin with his hand and smiled. the employees are spreading it in private. i didnt say that. li xiwu believed this. just now, chen xin had also said that it was discovered by the employees through reading his body language. however, li xiwu did not pay much attention to it. she had rarely come to pei jingzhous company before. she might only come two or three times in half a year. after explaining clearly that there was nothing else for chen xin to do, chen xin left first. li xiwu noticed that pei jingzhou had finished the glass of water she had drunk. she took the glass and stood up. if i hadnt come, you wouldnt have been thirsty. when i came, it was as if you hadnt drunk water for more than ten days. pei jingzhou leaned back on the sofa with a slightly lazy expression. the water my wife drank is sweet. li xiwu said, stop joking. the corners of pei jingzhous lips curled up. when li xiwu poured the water over, he said, her name is xiang wanning. shes the wife of he wangs second uncle.. Chapter 378 - Chapter 378: This Relationship Seems to Be a Little Messy chapter 378: this relationship seems to be a little messy translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu said, she just looks very maturely dressed. i think shes only in her early twenties. this was a judgment of perception and vision. the first impression that mrs. he gave people was a very mature and charming impression. if they didnt talk much, li xiwu would probably think so. however, after chatting for a while, li xiwu realized that the other party should be very young. and when she said early twenties, she was probably in her early twenties. she was so young. to marry an old man in his fifties who could be her father and only ask for glory and wealth? but so what if she was rich? everyone had their own way of living. she couldnt speculate. pei jingzhou played with li xiwus hand and rubbed her beautiful fingertips. shes on he wangs side. at this moment, li xiwu had yet to notice anything amiss. she asked casually, so he wang is on the same side as his second uncle? pei jingzhou smiled. his second uncle cant wait to kill him. li xiwu glanced sideways. then how did he wang convince this second aunt to stand on his side? pei jingzhou smiled but did not say anything. this expression was unreadable to li xiwu. li xiwu only knew a rough understanding of the he familys relationship and had never clarified it. she had also seen very little of the he family. not to mention that xiang wanning was not second master hes first wife, so it was even more impossible for her to meet her. she only knew that the he family had changed. the internal battle was in full swing. at this moment, he wang was too busy to take care of himself, but xiang wanning had come to look for pei jingzhou. if pei jingzhou had not said that xiang wanning was on he wangs side, li xiwu would probably think that xiang wanning had come to look for pei jingzhou to rope him into second master hes side. seeing that li xiwu was in a daze, pei jingzhou asked with a smile, have you sorted it out? when li xiwu heard this, she raised her eyebrows. fourth brother, do you think im figuring out the current situation of the he family? pei jingzhou said, no? li xiwu shook her head. no. pei jingzhou reached out and hooked his arm around her waist. why didnt you ask why she came to see me? li xiwu took the opportunity to move closer to pei jingzhou. can tell that fourth brother wants to explain. pei jingzhou said in a low voice, but you never ask. li xiwu smiled. because i believe you. i said it just now. pei jingzhou said, even if you believe me unconditionally, i still have to explain. she came to me to make a deal with me. at this point, li xiwu would be lying if she said that she was not curious. she asked, what kind of deal? she will provide me with favorable information in the middle and ask me to do my best to help he wang obtain the inheritance rights of the he family. the reward is the blue eyes mountain in the suburbs of the capital. no matter how calm li xiwu was, she could not remain calm when she heard that the other party was going to offer him the blue eyes mountain. as far as she knew, blue eyes mountain was famous in the suburbs of the capital. it was a mountain full of sycamores. the entire mountain was famous for the lake shaped like an eye at the top. however, that mountain belonged to the he family. a hundred years ago, the he familys ancestor had introduced 20,000 sycamore trees. the amber eyes at the top of the mountain were artificially excavated. the he family had established itself in the capital for so many years because of that blue eyes mountain. li xiwu asked, doesnt she know that you were going to help he wang? pei jingzhou shook his head. she thought i was the one watching from the sidelines, so she came to me to make a deal. the pei familys power was something many aristocratic families wanted to rely on. however, because the pei family was not associated with any aristocratic family, they could not be relied on even if they wanted to. the corners of li xiwus lips curled up. then what was she thinking? she begged you to help fight for the family assets and gave an astonishing reward, but if she handed the blue eyes mountain to you, whats the point of he wang fighting for the family assets? pei jingzhou said calmly, since she can transfer the takeover of the blue eyes mountain to me, it means that she doesnt want glory and wealth. she wants he wang to be safe. compared to those worldly possessions, what xiang wanning wanted was for he mjang to be safe. moreover, before he wang participated in the competition for the family assets, xiang wanning did not agree with he wangs involvement. they had talked about it, and he wang had agreed, but who knew that he wang would suddenly change his mind? helpless, she came to pei jingzhou and offered him such a huge reward. li xiwu understood what she meant, but she suddenly looked at pei jingzhou with a surprised expression. xiang wanning is he wangs aunt. what does she mean by helping he wang? pei jingzhou looked at her sideways and smiled faintly. guess. li xiwu looked at pei jingzhous expression and looked at him briefly. although pei jingzhou did not say anything, it seemed to li xiwu that he had said everything. soon, li xiwus expression became subtle. could it be pei jingzhou said, its what you think. li xiwu was surprised. how dare he? pei jingzhous voice was mixed with a smile. he cared, so why wouldnt he dare? li xiwu choked. for a moment, she didnt know if she should express surprise or shock. she retracted her hand from pei jingzhous. this relationship seems to be a little messy. pei jingzhou said, more than a little. the complaints from pei jingzhou were on point. it was indeed more than a little messy. however, on second thought, it was not considered chaotic for a family like the he family. as for he wang, she didnt know what he was thinking back then. he actually touched someone he shouldnt have and even coveted her. li xiwu smiled and shook her head. pei jingzhou said, ive known he wang for more than twenty years. 1 dont know everything, but i roughly know his personality. when i found out about this, i was also surprised. li xiwu coughed lightly. that mrs. he is after all, his aunt pei jingzhou said, he knows what hes doing. indeed, he wang knew better than anyone, but he just couldnt figure it out. he had originally been playing around, but in the end, he had lost his heart. with this, li xiwu immediately understood why he wang suddenly wanted to fight for the family assets. pei jingzhou leaned over. what are you thinking? li xiwu thought of a poem. beauty is not a calamity. its a pity that im a lowly concubine. all my worries and troubles are caused by the mortal world. its hard to say anything else. with he wangs guts, he will definitely win this familys assets, li xiwu said with a smile. pei jingzhou said, l hope its as he wishes. on the other side. at the lu residence. after boyuan sent li xiwu off, she went to the terrace. seeing her come out, lu jia asked, is she gone? boyuan nodded. yes, she just left. lu jia was about to continue asking when boyuan gestured for him to wait. she leaned over and coaxed little jingzhe. little jingzhe, can you play with yaoyao? little jingzhe puffed up her cheeks and said in a muffled voice, but yaoyao ignored me. boyuan said, its not that he doesnt want to talk to you. hes just very upset. go comfort him. is that so? little jingzhe asked. boyuan nodded. yes, go quickly. yaoyao needs you very much now. Chapter 379 - Chapter 379: Satisfaction and Happiness chapter 379: satisfaction and happiness translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations little jingzhe was happy to coax yaoyao. the two of them had gotten along very well before, but for some reason, yaoyao was in a low mood this time and ignored little jingzhe. however, even though she was repeatedly ignored, little jingzhe was still willing to circle around yaoyao. after little jingzhe left, lu jia moved a little to the side, leaving the seat empty. boyuan sat down beside him. seeing that boyuan did not look too good, lu jia asked, what did you talk about? you dont look too good. boyuan turned to look at lu you. i was about to tell li you that yaoyao was the child she gave birth to in country t back then. lu jia laughed in a muffled voice. but i can tell that you didnt tell her. otherwise, you wouldnt look like this. boyuan sighed. i didnt tell her. it was a close call. she really almost told li xiwu. but in order to ensure yaoyaos safety, she still didnt say anything. lu jia poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. tell me in detail. boyuan took the water from lu jingzhou and took a sip. she said gently, do you know? li you told me just now that she gave birth to a daughter in country t back then. she gave birth to her with pei jingzhou and only acknowledged her recently. lu jia was stunned. she said that? boyuan took another big sip of water. after swallowing, she sighed. yes, she told me herself. i thought that yaoyao was with us. why did she acknowledge another daughter? could there be a conspiracy? because of this concern, i didnt tell her that yaoyao was her biological son. lu jia took the empty glass of water from boyuan and placed it back on the glass table beside her. after a moment of surprise, he said, maybe it wasnt a conspiracy. they did have a daughter, too. but my mother never said they were twins. she never said. this was what boyuan was puzzled about. boyuan continued, back then, when my mother carried yaoyao back, she only said that it was li yous child. she didnt say that there were other children, and she never mentioned twins. when she carried yaoyao back, li you was no longer around. moreover, yaoyao was still very weak at that time and could not withstand long-distance travel. however, my mother still asked someone to find out pei jingzhous address in the capital. she wanted to send yaoyao back to pei jingzhou. after all, pei jingzhou was yaoyaos father. at this point, boyuan sighed for the third time. although she found pei jingzhous address, pei jingzhou seems to be recuperating in the hospital. since pei jingzhous condition is not good, my mother can only plan to send yaoyao back to pei jingzhou after he recovers a little. although yaoyao has lost his mother, he has to return to his fathers side to grow up. after more than half a year, when yaoyao recovered and wanted to send him back to pei jingzhous side, she learned that pei jingzhou was married. my mother and i unanimously decided not to send yaoyao back. since pei jingzhou was married, yaoyao probably wouldnt be loved by his biological father if he went back. it would also affect his relationship with his new wife, so we didnt think of sending yaoyao back until we heard about li you boyuan said a lot in one breath. she made herself sound depressed. she rested her head in the crook of lu jias arm and sighed for the fourth time. i thought everything had finally turned around and yaoyao could return to his parents, but whats with this daughter who suddenly appeared? lu jia rubbed boyuans hair. dont think too much. youre the one whos depressed in the end. why dont you call our mom now and ask if li you still had a daughter who was lost back then? if she matches, there wont be a problem. boyuan looked up suddenly. no wonder it was said that this person had entered a dead end and needed guidance. it was clearly a very simple matter. she wanted to go down a dead end, and just couldnt understand it. in fact, as lu jia had said, it was very simple. ask her mother. back then, did li you had only given birth to one yaoyao, or was it a pair of twins? on the other side. li xiwu told pei jingzhou about her visit to boyuans house at the right time and left the company early with him. in the car back to lake lu. li xiwu called auntie lin, who was already preparing dinner. li xiwu quickly said, theres no need to prepare too much for dinner today. auntie lin, just prepare dinner for you alone. a friend is treating us tonight. we wont be eating at home. auntie lin said, madam, thank god you said it in time. i was about to scoop the rice. li xiwu smiled and asked, wheres youyou? auntie lin said, youyou is watching television. aye, she recognized that i was answering your call and ran over. youyou took the cell phone from auntie lin and asked in a low voice, niom, when are you coming back? hearing youyou call her mother, li xivvus heart almost softened. the fatigue and tension of the day dissipated in an instant. she answered youyou, were on our way back. theres probably still pei jingzhous voice came from beside her. about six minutes. li xiwu glanced at pei jingzhou, then turned on the speakerphone so that pei jingzhou could hear youyous voice more clearly. she said to youyou, baby, well be home in six minutes. youyou asked, is daddy back too? li xiwu took the phone and pointed at it. pei jingzhou said, yes, i came back with your mother. great. ill wait for you. she could tell that youyous tone meant that she was very happy. the cartoon was still playing. after youyou finished talking to li xiwu and pei jingzhou, she ran to the living room to watch television. after ending the call, the smile on li xiwu!s lips did not stop. fourth brother, are you satisfied with your current life? li xiwu put away her cell phone and held pei jingzhous arm. pei jingzhou asked her, what is your definition of satisfaction? li xiwu thought for a few seconds and answered seriously, probably bliss. the happier she was, the more satisfied she was. that was the definition shed given after careful consideration. pei jingzhou said, i m very content. there was no complete definition of satisfaction, but he was content. he was close to thirty, and had a wife and daughter, he was very content. but li xiwu lowered her eyes to hide the faint sadness in them. although pei jingzhou did not see it, he could hear the difference in her tone. but what? li xiwu said softly, its just that for now, i keep feeling that its not enough. theres something missing. she couldnt say what was missing. but when she thought about it seriously and defined the source of satisfaction, an indescribable sense of disappointment and loss would rise in her heart. she couldnt even explain this feeling. suddenly, she remembered yaoyao. at the thought that yaoyao ignored her and faced her with his lonely back, saying that he didnt like her, li xiwu felt her heart ache. now that she thought about it, she still felt terrible.. Chapter 380 - Chapter 380: It Was Obvious That She Was Their Biological Daughter chapter 380: it was obvious that she was their biological daughter translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu leaned her head on pei jingzhous shoulder and said softly, fourth brother, i still dont understand why yaoyao said that he doesnt like me when he last saw me. its probably the illness. pei jingzhou said, boyuan told you that yaoyao currently needs a psychological therapist. this means that yaoyaos current psychological situation is very bad. he is very against the outside world. this rejection includes everything. its not that he doesnt like you. with pei jingzhous comfort, li xiwu felt better. in order to make li xiwu feel better, pei jingzhou said, ive already contacted the psychotherapist. wen yes qualifications are not bad, but in terms of yaoyaos current situation, yaoyao needs a child psychotherapist more. li xiwu sat up and her expression turned serious. in a situation like yaoyao, will the mental treatment take long? will yaoyao suffer? pei jingzhou shook his head. im not sure yet. ill get chen xin to screen them. ill see them tomorrow morning. once im sure, ill arrange for them to be by yaoyaos side immediately. however, i heard that the cycle of educational intervention and treatment will also be relatively long. theres also medicine as a supplement. itll be better if we take care of both. li xiwu nodded. thats good. back at lake lu. li xiwu and pei jingzhou both changed their clothes and went to be guests. they solemnly prepared gift boxes and brought youyou out at around 5:30 pm. youyou was dressed up beautifully by li xiwu. she braided two small braids and picked up two strawberry hair clips from both sides. she had bangs and her down jacket was a light yellow color with a pair of small bell-bottom pants. she was too cute and soft. as a result, ever since he left the house, pei jingzhou could not bear to let youyou leave his arms. he kept hugging her as if she was grown on his arm. the hair clip was not very stable. when youyou was rubbing against pei jingzhous arms and was about to fall off, pei jingzhou would carefully clip the hair clip back. although his movements were unfamiliar, they were filled with careful and inexhaustible love. when her bangs were a little messy, pei jingzhou pushed them back and returned them to their original state. he was very careful. after sitting in the car for a long time, youyou was sleepy for a moment before she perked up and asked in a low voice, dad, where are we going? pei jingzhou pondered for a moment before replying, brothers house. li xiwu looked over. youyou was curious. is he youyous brother? pei jingzhou realized that he had said something wrong, and li xiwu corrected him in time. little jingzhe is four years old, but i dont know how many months she is. shes probably a younger sister. yaoyao is only three years old. hes younger than little jingzhe and youyou. he should be a younger brother. youyou asked, is the younger brother obedient? li xiwu smiled gently. hes very quiet, youyou. you must be patient when you talk to him after you see him. youyou rested her head in pei jingz,hous arms. alright, ill remember this. i must be patient with big brother. li xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. it seemed that youyou was very persistent about her big brother. pei jingzhou looked at li xiwu and said softly, youyou is noisy. yaoyao might resist her approach. l dont think so. li xiwu remembered what she had seen in the afternoon. at that time, yaoyao was focused on restoring the cube. little jingzhe kept talking at the side and did not dare to interfere. but no matter what, yaoyao was not angry, nor did he resist little jingzhes approach. she told pei jingzhou what she had seen in the afternoon, then said, little jingzhes personality is very similar to youyous. theyre both lively and talkative. since little jingzhe wasnt resisted, youyou definitely wont either. pei jingzhou nodded. l hope so.! hopefully, youyou and yaoyao will get along well. after the long drive, they finally arrived at boyuans house. pei jingzhou carried yaoyao and walked behind li xiwu. li xiwu pressed the doorbell in front. it was lu jia who opened the door. seeing that it was li xiwu, he said, youre here. li xiwu introduced pei jingzhou, who was behind her. his name is pei jingzhou. hes my husband. lu jia smiled faintly. l know. ive seen him before. with that, he turned sideways and gestured for them to come in. please, come in. li xiwu replied, okay. after li xiwu entered, lu jia looked at pei jingzhou and shifted his gaze to the little girl in pei jingzhous arms. he took a few glances and looked away. then, he looked at pei jingzhou and extended his hand. president pei, ive heard a lot about you. pei jingzhou hugged youyou with one arm and reached out with the other to shake his hand. hello. lu jia said, welcome, please come in. pei jingzhou nodded and carried youyou in. when the door closed, lu jia couldnt help but sigh. the little girl in pei jingzhous arms really resembled li xii,vu and pei jingzhou. could she really be their biological daughter? at this moment, boyuan was helping the auntie in the kitchen. tonight was a feast. there were more preparations. auntie couldnt handle it alone. lu jia was also helping. when he heard the doorbell, boyuan couldnt let go of the work in her hands, so she asked lu jia to open the door. when she was done, she came out wiping her hands. youre here. treat yourselves as if youre at home. sit down. ive washed the fruit. and the words stopped abruptly. because boyuan had seen youyou! pei jingzhou had just put youyou down when they arrived at an unfamiliar environment. youyou looked around blankly, as if she was trying to adapt. suddenly, she heard the voice of an unfamiliar auntie. youyou looked up and saw that the auntie was looking at her. li xiwu walked over. boyuan. boyuan suddenly came back to her senses and put down her wiped hand. she asked, this is youyou? the daughter you just acknowledged? li xiwu nodded. yes, youyou. boyuans expression changed. its so like you li xiwu smiled faintly. uncle cai also said that youyou is very similar to me when i was young. looking at the little girl who looked so much like li you, boyuans doubts immediately died down. coupled with the truth her mother had told her, boyuan took a deep breath and immediately smiled again. she picked grapes for youyou. the shine-muscat is very sweet. youyou took it with both hands and looked obedient. thank boyuans heart melted at the thanks. youre so cute. youyou smiled, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. boyuan hugged youyou and kissed her. youyou was stunned for a moment, then smiled shyly. boyuan said, youre as cute as your mother. li xiwu squatted down and couldnt help but laugh. was i the cute type in the past? boyuan blinked and said, of course. youre simply a sweet girl. as the male owner, lu jia naturally had to entertain pei jingzhou. although the two of them both smoked, they naturally did not smoke at home. they sat down and chatted. however, pei jingzhous gaze would inadvertently linger on li xiwu and youyou from time to time. boyuan suggested, yaoyao and little jingzhe are both in the childrens room. is youyou afraid of strangers? if not, send youyou to the childrens room to play with little jingzhe and yaoyao.. Chapter 381 - Chapter 381: Youyu Called Him Brother chapter 381: youyu called him brother translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu agreed readily. okay. she had the same idea herself. she would let yaoyao come into contact with youyou and see if youyous personality could affect yaoyao. in turn, yaoyaos mood might improve a little. they arrived outside the childrens room. boyuan said to li xiwu, ill send youyou in and let the three children get used to each other first. li xiwu hesitated. boyuan knew what li xiwu was worried about. little jingzhe wont bully youyou. dont worry, lets see how youyou and yaoyao get along. let them get along first. if we adults will specially tell them that, the children will definitely not be happy. li xiwu felt that it made sense and nodded. okay. after youyou adapted to this new place, she was indeed not afraid of strangers. when they arrived outside the childrens room, boyuan only said to youyou, go play with them, okay? she thought that she would have to communicate with her. unexpectedly, youyou did not even hesitate for a second. she agreed happily and immediately ran in. boyuan thought that youyou had seen her favorite toy. little did she know that youyou had seen yaoyao. after youyou went in, li xiwu and boyuan left the childrens room silently. boyuan gestured for li xiwu to sit down and drink tea and eat fruits. her family still had many specialty snacks from country t. li xiwu naturally couldnt sit still, so she followed boyuan to the kitchen. after a while, the two of them became much closer. they were getting closer and closer to the topic. at first, they talked about youyou, then about bolin. at this point, boyuan suddenly smiled and said in a louder voice, li you, you probably dont know this, but my mother once wanted to propose to your father. she wanted you to marry my brother. li xiwu was helping wash the vegetables. when she heard this, she was a little surprised. really? yeah, my mother used to have that idea, boyuan said. this was all in the past to li xiwu. she didnt remember. hearing from boyuan, it sounded like she was listening to someone elses story. boyuan noticed the change in li xivvus expression and restrained her voice. dont you remember anything? li xiwu smiled faintly and shook her head. i dont remember. the scenes in her dream were all about her parents and her pregnancy. if she wanted to remember all her memories intact, she needed to be hypnotized again and awaken them. she had also mentioned this to pei jingzhou. on the surface, pei jingzhou agreed to her request and followed her wishes. but so far, pei jingzhou has not made any arrangements. he was probably worried that she would be in a bad state when she completely regained her memory. boyuan saw that li xiwu was a little depressed. even if it was not so obvious, she could tell when she was close. so she comforted her. it doesnt matter if you cant remember the past for the time being. anyway, theres still so much to come. one day youll remember. li xiwu nodded and replied softly, yeah. boyuan continued the conversation. at that time, my brother wasnt married, and you werent married. i really wanted you to be my sister-in-law, but later i found out that you had a childhood sweetheart fianc. at this point, boyuan revealed an embarrassed smile. as a younger sister, i will always think that my brother is the best and most handsome. at that time, i thought that your childhood sweetheart fianc must not be comparable to my brother. it was only when your childhood sweetheart fianc appeared that i realized what it means to be a match made in heaven. you two are. li xiwu continued, back then, he often came to country t. i know a little. although you know that he came to country t to accompany you back then, you definitely dont remember many details. seeing that li xivvu did not show any repulsion, boyuan continued this topic and told it like a story. i was born in the royal family of country t and was used to infighting. all love was not worth mentioning in front of rights and interests until your love with him made me believe that love would also be very beautiful and pure. its just that i had never encountered it at that time. he often comes to country t to accompany you. every time, he stays for three to five days. after he goes back, he will come to country t again every once in a while. he never seems to find it troublesome. the longest time he comes is for more than ten days. but more than ten days was rare. he seems to be very busy too. haha, to be honest, i thought he was an unemployed person at first. if now, how could he have so much time to accompany you in country t? later on, i found out that he was actually a big boss of a company. it simply refreshed my understanding. people in such a position must have countless beauties around them, but he actually loved you alone firmly. such love is really rare. but fortunately, your love runs in both directions. for you, he tirelessly ran between country t and the capital countless times. after you finished your studies in country t, you were also prepared to return to work and stay by his side. how enviable. at this point, the envy on boyuans face was obvious. she leaned closer to li xiwu and said in a lighter voice than before, you made me believe in love. although i hadnt seen it then, i was looking forward to it. li xiwu smiled knowingly and said to boyuan, because you began to believe and look forward to love, you later had happiness. yes! it was obvious that boyuan was very excited. later on, i met lu jia. because i believe in love, i was always determined when i dated him. even if i lost in the end, i could afford to lose. li xiwu said, later on, you realized that lu jia was even more determined than you. li xiwu felt boyuan lean to her side and put her arm against her. i feel that the you in front of me now is no different from the you i knew back then. youre still the li you who made me believe in love. li xiwu smiled faintly. thank you for telling me this. boyuan said, to me, its just a memory. ill wait for the day you remember. li xiwu replied, okay. after preparing the dishes, the auntie began to stir-fry. li xiwu and boyuan couldnt held much. so thev came out of the kitchen. at this moment, in the childrens room. youyou ran in because she saw yaoyao. at that time, yaoyao sat there in a daze. no one knew what he was thinking. only little jingzhe chattered non- stop. yaoyao didnt feel annoyed. he glanced at little jingzhe occasionally and then continued to stare blankly. at this moment, a force suddenly attacked him. before yaoyao could react, he was pounced on. after being pounced on, the back of his head hit the ground through the carpet. youyou pounced on yaoyao and said with joy, haha, we meet again. yaoyao was still in a daze. the back of his head hurt a little. but it didnt matter. little jingzhe, who was beside him, had already opened her mouth in shock. wow! youyou didnt forget to greet little jingzhe. hell? little jingzhe said, youre so brave. after greeting her, youyou looked at yaoyao. however, yaoyao did not react at all. his expression was blank, which frustrated youyou. youyou remembered that her father had said that she was coming to her brothers house today.. she looked at the boy, who was in a daze, and asked in a low voice, are you my brother? Chapter 382 - Chapter 382: Clingy chapter 382: clingy translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations little jingzhe quickly moved over and said to youyou, hes my brother! youyou asked, why cant he be my brother? because, because little jingzhe suddenly ran out of words. seeing that yaoyao was still being pressed down, little jingzhe went forward to help. come down, come down quickly. obediently, youyou flipped down and sat on the carpet. ouch. while exclaiming, youyou didnt forget to pull yaoyao up. in the end, after yaoyao was pulled up by youyou, he immediately shook off youyous hand, as if he was very resistant to youyous contact. even youyous gaze was very guarded. however, youyou was not discouraged by yaoyao!s guarded gaze. she leaned towards yaoyao eagerly. dont you remember me? yaoyao turned his head away from youyou and said nothing. youyou quickly crawled in front of yaoyao and stared at him. she repeated what she had just said. do you really not remember me? yaoyaos lowered eyes moved slightly, and his butterfly-like eyelashes slowly lifted. he looked at youyou in front of him. he should have hated her, but when he really saw her, he realized that he didnt seem to hate her that much. he couldnt even control the urge to get close to her. youyou reached out to yaoyao and poked his cheek with her fingertips. why do you look so unhappy? yaoyao moved his head back, but he still couldnt avoid youyous touch. youyous hand reached out as far as she could and poked him in the face. yaoyao frowned, but it was only a frown. he didnt show any anger. seeing this, youyou continued to poke yaoyao!s face with her finger. after that, she said, the meat on your face is not as fleshy as my face. yaoyao said with a tense face, you. go. away. those three words werent coherent. he didnt push her away. it was obvious how much yaoyao tolerated youyou. youyou retracted her hand and continued to look at yaoyao with her eager eyes. then, she asked, are you ignoring me because youre unhappy? yaoyao ignored her. youyou continued, when i came, mom told me that i have to be patient when talking to my brother. i will definitely be very patient. as soon as she finished speaking, yaoyaos emotions fluctuated a little. he finally said a complete sentence, im not your brother. he thought that this sentence would be enough to suppress youyou and stop her from approaching. however, yaoyao underestimated how clingy the other party was. just like before, he was caught off guard as she pounced on him to hug him. she asked, if its not an elder brother, then its a younger brother. whats your name, younger brother? yaoyao didnt answer. he suddenly felt annoyed. and his annoyance wasnt just in his heart. it was the kind of annoyance that showed on his face. he pushed the unfamiliar little girl on him. he did not dare to push her too hard, so he forced himself to push her. realizing that he couldnt push her away, he quickly gave up. this scene almost stunned little jingzhe. she slowly moved over and stopped beside youyou. she raised her hand and gently poked youyous arm. his name is yaoyao. meaning bite, but he doesnt bite casually. yaoyao turned his head with difficulty. why was it difficult? because his neck was trapped by youyou, it became a little difficult to turn his head. he looked at little jingzhe, who took the initiative to introduce his name, and little jingzhe stuck out her tongue. yaoyao silently looked away again. at this moment, youyou let go and raised her chin to introduce herself. ill remember. your name is yaoyao. you have to remember that my name is youyou. it means pomelo. although you dont bite, i like to eat pomelo. after introducing herself, youyou turned to ask little jingzhe, whats your name? when her name was suddenly asked, little jingzhe introduced herself solemnly. my name is lu zhi. you can call me zhizhi or little jingzhe. my father said that my nickname was given according to the 24 solar terms of china. originally, i was born in late march, so it should be the spring equinox. however, mom said that the spring equinox was not pleasant, so my father named me little jingzhe. anyway, its in march. little jingzhe had already told others many times about her self-introduction. every time, she would say the same long sentence, and every time, she would say it in one go. she had no choice. she was too skilled. therefore, she had almost memorized her self-introduction. after little jingzhe finished introducing herself, she asked youyou, your nickname is youyou. then whats your name? youyou was stumped. she shook her head. i dont know. i only know that my name is youyou, although i dont know how to write this word yet. then, youyou asked, but the teacher will call me gu youyou. is that my name? little jingzhe nodded calmly. yes, your name must be gu youyou. realization dawned on youyou. so my name is gu youyou! ill remember it. it was easier for the two little girls to play together. moreover, they were two little girls with similar personalities. after a while, the two of them were extremely familiar with each other. little jingzhe took the initiative to pull youyou and introduce the names of her dolls to her. there were too many dolls to count. yaoyao sat there and watched silently. sometimes, he rested his chin on his hand, and sometimes, he leaned back. in short, his gaze was not as dull as before. it would stop on youyou many times before stopping on little jingzhe. outside. boyuan and li xiwu were chatting about planting flowers on the terrace. li xiwu had some skills in planting flowers. she had planted many flowers in the small courtyard and they bloomed very brightly. when it was the season, they were as beautiful as paintings. when boyuan found out that li xiwu was very good at planting flowers, she chased after her and asked her about her planting skills. although li xiwu was not a professional, the flowers she planted grey very well, so she shared some of her careful planting skills with boyuan. the two of them chatted happily. after all, in boyuans eyes, li xiwu was still her friend. the two of them meeting was equivalent to reuniting with an old friend. there was no sense of alienation at all. to li xiwu, it was no different from meeting a new friend she could get along with. at this moment, the auntie came out of the kitchen and said loudly that dinner was ready. boyuan replied, coming, coming. she turned and pulled li xiwus wrist. lets go. its time to eat. li xiwu did not resist boyuans contact and went in with her. lu jia went to the childrens room to call the three children, but only little jingzhe and youyou came out. yaoyao was unwilling to come out, and lu jia was still coaxing him. little jingzhe held youyous hand and walked to boyuan. she said happily to boyuan, mom, gu youyou and i are good friends. boyuan was about to praise little jingzhe for being awesome and becoming good friends with youyou so quickly, but she opened her mouth and didnt say anything she wanted to praise. she asked little jingzhe, why gu youyou? little jingzhe replied, youyou said so. gu youyou is her name. her surname is gu boyuan was a little surprised. she turned to look at li xiwu. li xiwus expression did not change. she explained with a faint smile, i only told you today that youyou was picked up from a friend of mine, but i didnt tell you who the friend who took care of youyou for the past four years was. boyuan was curious. is it convenient to say? li xiwu nodded and said, its gu lanshi.. Chapter 383 - Chapter 383: Learning That Yaoyao and Youyou Were Born On The Same Day chapter 383: learning that yaoyao and youyou were born on the same day translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations originally, in the afternoon, when li xiwu mentioned what had happened during the process of bringing youyou back, boyuan had been wondering who the person taking care of youyou was. however, at that time, li xiwu called him a friend and did not say his name, so boyuan did not ask further. boyuan said in surprise, in other words, the person who has been taking care of youyou for the past four years is gu lanshi, and youyou takes gu lanshis surname? li xiwu nodded. mm. boyuan murmured, no wonder. li xiwu was puzzled. no wonder what? before she could ask, boyuan asked her, has youyous current surname been changed? by the way, have you thought of a new name? its in the midst of the procedures. ill be able to change it soon. i havent thought of a name yet. ill leave it to pei jingzhou to think about that, li xiwu said. she had dreamed of the name her father had given his grandchildren. her father had given it to her with his heart. li xiwu wanted to use it, but she had yet to discuss it with pei jingzhou. boyuan nodded. you can keep youyous nickname, you have to think of a good name. you cant choose it casually. li xiwu smiled. yes, ill think about it carefully. at this moment, youyou walked towards li xiwu. she reached out with both hands and held li xiwus hands by her sides. she shouted coquettishly, mom. li xiwu squatted down and brushed away the messy bangs on youyous forehead. whats wrong, youyou?! youyou leaned against li xiwu and whispered, mom, i saw my brother. li xiwu asked softly, did the brother speak to you? youyou nodded. yes. li xiwus heart skipped a beat. what did your brother tell you? youyou immediately became a drama queen and took two steps back. she imitated yaoyaos tense face. you. go. away. boyuan laughed at the side. li xiwu couldnt help but laugh. she could guess that youyou must have gone to stick to yaoyao. yaoyao didnt like to be stuck, so he said those three words. however, it was a good thing that yaoyao was willing to talk to youyou. it was better than ignoring youyou. besides, youyou was lively to begin with. if she was ignored by children her age again, she would inevitably be disappointed for a while. li xiwu continued to ask youyou, did brother say anything else? i know, i know. little jingzhe took the initiative to answer for youyou. yaoyao said: im not your brother. youyou nodded. zhizhi is right. boyuan squatted down and suddenly asked youyou, youyou, little cutie, youre four years and how many months? youyou replied, im four years and three months old. when boyuan heard this, she turned to look at li xiwu. the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. li xiwu could tell that boyuan seemed to want to say something to her. she asked, whats wrong? boyuan told li xivvu, yaoyao is also four years and three months old. upon hearing this, li xiwu was stunned for a few seconds before she remembered something. the surprise on her face quickly returned to normal. you must have remembered wrongly. yaoyao told me himself that he was three years and four months old. back then, yaoyao had gestured to tell her. she guessed from yaoyaos gestures that he was three years and four months old. moreover, when she said that he was three years and four months old, yaoyao even nodded. that meant that this was yaoyaos age. moreover, li xiwu had always remembered this very clearly. on the other side, pei jingzhou walked over from the side and did not miss what boyuan had said to li xiwu. he paused slightly and stood there quietly. seeing that li xiwu did not believe her, boyuan repeated with a serious expression, li you, im not lying to you. yaoyao is really four years and three months old. moreover, he was born on february 23rd. seeing that li xiwu did not believe her, boyuan repeated with a serious three years and four months old. could it be that yaoyao remembered wrongly? its not that yaoyao remembered wrongly. boyuan took a deep breath and slowly sighed. in a calm tone, she said, my mother probably didnt tell you, right? yaoyao was born prematurely and his health has always been poor. in addition, he suffered from autism and didnt like to eat. he didnt eat properly, causing his body to be unable to keep up with his nutrition. so he looked much younger than children his age and was easier to bully. my mother has always talked about the age of yaoyao in reverse and taught him to say that. hearing this, li xivvu slowly clenched her fists behind youyou. boyuan saw the change in li xiwus expression and deliberately asked, when is youyou born? li xiwu pursed her lips. its that day, gu lanshi had told her about youyous preferences, what kind of tricks she likes to do, and some special food and toys. in addition to this, gu lanshi also told her youyous birthday. february 23rd. li xiwu slowly read out the date. boyuan pretended to be surprised. what a coincidence! its already a coincidence that youyou is the same age as yaoyao. even their birthdays are the same!! li xiwu glanced sideways at boyuan. boyuan immediately restrained the expression on her face to prevent herself from appearing too deliberate. fate is really strange. yaoyao and youyou are actually born on the same day. li xiwu could clearly feel her breathing becoming faster and faster. it was because her heart was not calm enough. at this moment, it was already in turmoil. yaoyao was actually a four-year-old and three-month-old child. yaoyao and youyou had the same birthday. yaoyao was a child adopted by madam di xin. sensing that li xiwu was very unstable, boyuan asked with concern, are you alright? li xiwu shook her head, her eyelashes fluttering. im fine. boyuan said, you suddenly look very pale. are you feeling unwell? li xiwu forced a smile. no, i just squatted for too long and my legs are a little numb. just as she was about to get up, someone held her arm. when she noticed the hand, she looked up and met pei jingz,hous deep gaze. standing slowly, she exhaled and tried to steady herself. did you hear that? seeing that pei jingzhou was silent, li xiwu said, yaoyao and youyou are born on the same day. pei jingzhou lowered his eyes. i heard. compared to pei jingzhous calmness, li xiwus heart was already in turmoil. usually, because of her personality, she could remain calm and composed no matter what happened. but this time, she really couldnt convince herself to calm down as soon as possible. at this moment, lu jia came out. but he was alone. boyuan wanted to wait for li xiwu to ask, then she pulled her to the dining table and sat down. after that, they would talk about this while eating. since her mother, madam di xin, had already told her what had happened back then and confirmed that youyou was not a fake, she had to tell li xiwu about this tonight. she had been delaying telling li xiwu just to confirm that it was safe. as long as it was confirmed to be safe, anything could be said next. at this moment, after lu jia came out of the childrens room, he looked helpless. l still overestimated myself. i tried my best, but yaoyao still refused to pay attention to me and even rejected dinner. boyuan frowned worriedly. yaoyao didnt eat much at noon today, and he didnt eat at night. what if he fainted from hunger in the middle of the night? li xiwus heart ached when she hears this. she was about to go to the childrens room when pei jingzhou suddenly grabbed her wrist and said in a low voice, ill go.. Chapter 384 - Chapter 384: The Family of Four Acknowledge Each Other chapter 384: the family of four acknowledge each other translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations when pei jingzhou entered, every step was light. he immediately saw yaoyao sitting on the carpet. the heater in the childrens room was very strong. yaoyao was only wearing a white sweater. as his head drooped, his hair hung loosely. as pei jingzhou approached, yaoyao also heard footsteps. he did not turn around to see who it was and continued to stare out the window in a daze. pei jingzhou said, yaoyao. when yaoyao heard this voice, his drooping head slowly raised. he thought that his uncle was here to coax him to dinner, but this time, his voice did not sound like his uncles. instead, it sounded very similar to the other voice in his memory. however, he should not be here yaoyao continued to droop his head and look at the trees outside the french window. pei jingzhou was not surprised to see that the little guy ignored him. he knew that he had been in a bad mental state recently and ignored everyone. he went forward, bent his knees, and squatted down beside yaoyao. then, he slowly reached out and gently placed his palm on the top of his head. what are you looking at? this time, the reaction of yaoyao was even greater than before. he suddenly turned his head. as he turned his head, pei jingzhou raised his palm a little to make it easier for him to look at the little guy. the moment yaoyao saw that it was pei jingzhou, his pupils changed in obvious shock. pei jingzhou suddenly pulled a long face. stand up. it was unknown if it was because of the bloodline suppression, but yaoyao really stood up obediently. even pei jingzhou was surprised. looking at yaoyao, who was standing in front of him, pei jingzhou asked him, why arent you eating dinner? yaoyao didnt say anything. pei jingzhou asked, youre not hungry? yaoyao nodded. pei jingzhou said, you have to eat even if youre not hungry. besides, this is a necessary dinner in the three meals a day. does it feel good to be hungry? yaoyao wanted to turn around and ignore pei jingzhou to protest against not eating dinner. thinking so, he did the same. he really turned his back on pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou looked at the little guys angry back and couldnt help but laugh. are you planning to fight to the end? yaoyao ignored him and lowered his head. seeing this, pei jingzhou stood up. i cant go against the little kids wishes. since youre not eating, ill leave first. pei jingzhou stood up and seemed to leave. yaoyao thought he would coax him, just like his uncle, until he heard distant footsteps behind him. yaoyao turned his head and realized that he had left. yaoyao lowered his head in disappointment. sad emotions surged in his heart, and he looked like he could cry in the next second. looking for me? a voice suddenly came from the other side, scaring yaoyao. he turned around and was stunned to see the tall figure in front of him. after about seven or eight seconds, yaoyao slowly raised her head to look at him. he didnt leave!!! he had deliberately made those fading footsteps. in an instant, the depressed expression on yaoyaos face disappeared, replaced by heartfelt joy. this happiness was even shown on yaoyaos face. pei jingzhou leaned over slightly and saw the change in yaoyaos mood. he asked gently, do you want to go out for dinner with me now? yaoyao hesitated for a moment before slowly raising a hand to pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou raised his eyebrows. normally, if a child reached out a hand to him, he would not understand the reason. but yaoyao reached out a hand to him, and he immediately understood that he meant to hug him. without hesitation, he reached out and held the little guys armpit. the weight on his arm made pei jingzhou frown. you havent eaten well recently? he couldnt have been lighter. he was at least ten pounds lighter than youyou. yaoyao buried his face in pei jingzhous shoulder and remained silent. pei jingzhou did not ask further. afraid that the people outside would wait for too long, he carried yaoyao out first. li xiwu waited anxiously outside. she wanted to go to the childrens room to take a look a few times, but she remembered that pei jingzhou had gotten along well with yaoyao back then. even if pei jingzhou did not persuade yaoyao, he should have come out. he hadnt come out for so long. so they must have been talking. beside her, boyuan comforted her. theres been no movement for so long. they must have had a good chat. li xiwu pursed her lips. perhaps. seeing that li xiwus anxious expression had improved, boyuan was slightly relieved. not long after, pei jingzhou came out with yaoyao. when li xiwu saw that pei jingzhou had finally come out, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. she noticed that yaoyao was in pei jingzhous arms and buried his head in his shoulder. it was an extremely warm scene. it was a scene of a father and son. sorry to keep you waiting, pei jingzhou said as he walked over with yaoyao. lu jia smiled and continued, no, the last soup has just been served. you came out at the right time. with that, he went over to pull out a chair. sit down. pei jingzhou nodded slightly and turned to look in li xiwus direction. seeing that she was walking towards him with youyou, pei jingzhou waited for her to come over before sitting down. pei jingzhou placed yaoyao beside him. beside yaoyao was youyou and li xiwu. the four of them were next to each other. after everyone sat down, boyuan clapped her hands and smiled brightly. there are usually only the three of us at home. although its not cold, its definitely not as lively as today. its better to have more people. its lively enough. li xiwu continued, its lively with more people. its originally a tradition, but modern young people prefer a family of three to live under one roof. they occasionally feel lonely, but most of the time, they feel that its just right. boyuan winked at li xiwu. youve hit the nail on the head. li xiwu smiled faintly. she turned to look at yaoyao and saw that he was sitting obediently on pei jingzhous left. there was a youyou between him and li xiwu. yaoyao probably sensed li xiwus gaze and turned to look at her. then, he silently turned back and lay his hands obediently on the table, continuing to be silent in his own world. lu jia got up and poured red wine for everyone. after pouring the red wine, he thoughtfully poured milk for the three children. youyou held her glass of milk and raised it to little jingzhe. little jingzhe also raised her glass and took a big sip. her upper lip was covered in a layer of white. youyou turned around and clinked glasses with yaoyao again. just as everyone thought that yaoyao would ignore her, yaoyao took the milk cup in front of him and reluctantly clinked it with youyou. youyous voice was crisp. cheers! yaoyao moved his lips as if he wanted to say the same word, but in the end, he didnt. he silently took a sip of milk. li xiwu and pei jingzhous gazes were focused on yaoyao. the emotions in their eyes were different. what they wanted to know would probably be revealed after dinner. it wasnt appropriate to raise this topic at the dining table as no one had eaten yet. but to li xiwu, she really couldnt wait to know what was going on. at this moment, boyuan suddenly said to lu jia, hubby, look. li you, mr. pei, yaoyao, and youyou look like a family of four. lu jia smiled meaningfully. you dont say. it does look like a complete family of four. pei jingzhou looked up and said, perhaps it is. li xiwu pursed her lips when she heard this. at first, the meaning of boyuans words was obvious. she deliberately let li xiwu and pei jingzhou know that yaoyao was the same age as youyou and had the same birthday. it was definitely not a coincidence. pei jingzhou and li xiwu planned to talk about this seriously after dinner. but now that boyuan and lu jia had started this conversation, it was exactly what she wanted to say. seeing that the moment was right, boyuan cleared her throat. there were many things i didnt know before. to confirm them, and to clear my doubts, i had to ask my mother. at this point, boyuan turned to look at li xiwu. my mother told me that you were indeed pregnant back then. li xiwu said softly, are you worried that youyou!s background is unknown? l really did worry, boyuan said honestly. but after asking my mother, 1 stopped worrying because my mother said that you were pregnant with fraternal twins back then. with that, li xiwu suddenly looked at boyuan. beside her, pei jingzhou tightened his grip on the cup.. Chapter 385 - Chapter 385: The Truth Back Then (1) chapter 385: the truth back then (1) translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations this was the first time han qianye, who had gone to country t to visit madam di xin, had gone to madam di xins house today. the first two times she had gone, she had been to the hospital. however, because madam di xins health was not good and she needed to rest, han qianye did not stay for long the first two times, so she did not have the chance to ask much else. until today. han qianye received a call from madam di xin and learned that she had already been discharged from the hospital in the afternoon. she kindly invited them to her residence as guests. han qianye dressed up a little in the hotel she was staying at and rushed over with pei qingji. in the car on the way to sharasin house. han qianye gritted her teeth and said, when i go to see madam di xin this time, i have to ask about yaoyaos background no matter what. it had been delayed for two days. if she delayed any longer, she didnt know how long she would have to wait after she returned to the country. pei qingji took off the scarf on his arm and carefully placed it on han qianyes shoulder. he asked obsequiously, what if you cant get the answer then? han qianye pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at pei qingji. why are you pouring cold water on me for no reason? pei qingji said, im just afraid that youll be disappointed again, so im giving you a heads-up. bah, bah, bah. youre the one whos disappointed. dont talk to me now. shut your mouth. han qianye glanced to the side. pei qingji pursed his lips and gestured silently. han qianye pretended not to see it. pei qingji continued to gesture. the more he gestured, the more anxious he became. he almost spoke, but he did not. he still kept his mouth shut. han qianye almost laughed out loud. she suppressed the corners of her lips and looked up at him sideways. ill allow you to say something. pei qingji seized the opportunity. i was wrong, i was wrong, i was wrong. he hurriedly said three times. the corners of han qianyes mouth were about to reach the back of her head. she suddenly thought of something and said, if we know the outcome tonight, well return to the country tonight. alright. pei qingji took out his phone. ill book a plane ticket. han qianyes mood instantly improved again. with a husband who admitted his mistake so quickly, it was difficult to stay angry for a while longer. the two of them did not make any advance preparations for this trip. it was han qianyes last-minute decision. the plane tickets, luggage, and hotel were all on pei qingji. pei qingji, who had dominated the pugilistic world for the first half of his life, would only serve his wife for the rest of his life. he was still willing to work hard. han qianye was in a good mood for a while, but she quickly became a little depressed. the timing did not match. we just arrived in country and found out that yaoyao had been sent to the capital. were really unlucky. pei qingji said, if yaoyao isnt around, its the same if you ask madam di xin. han qianye turned around. based on yaoyaos personality, hes really a little antisocial. madam di xin sent yaoyao to the capital just like that. if yaoyao stays in an unfamiliar place, it might be very difficult to adapt in a short period of time. pei qingji continued, some time ago, madam di xin brought yaoyao to the capital. didnt she stay at her daughters place for two days? he went to a place once. it should be easier for yaoyao to adapt. han qianye shook her head. other children might be able to adapt, but yaoyao might not. hes so antisocial. my heart aches just thinking about him staying there alone. pei qingji comforted her. well go back tonight. tomorrow, well pick up yaoyao. yeah. han qianyes mind was filled with yaoyaos pitiful look. the more she thought about it, the more her heart ached. country t did not have four seasons, but there were three seasons: hot season, rainy season, and cold season. this time, it was the cold season, but it was not cold at all. the temperature was very comfortable. the car arrived at madam di xins residence. after han qianye got out of the car, she held pei qingjis arm and entered under the servants lead. youre here. madam di xin personally went to the door to welcome them. from the smile on her face, it was obvious that she had recovered well. han qianye quickly let go of pei qingjis arm and took three steps forward to greet her. are you feeling better? madam di xin held han qianyes hand. just look at my complexion. it looks much better, han qianye said. madam di xin nodded, then pulled han qianye in. after taking two steps, she stopped and turned to look at pei qingji, who had almost been ignored. since youre here, youre one of us. be casual and dont be restrained. pei qingji nodded. yes. han qianye followed madam di xin in. it seemed that madam di xin was holding her wrist, but in fact, han qianye was supporting her slightly. although madam di xin looked much better, she was still old and had just left the hospital after being sick. she had to be careful. madam di xin had probably stayed in the hospital for too long. there was no one around to relieve her boredom, so she chatted with han qianye a lot. as they chatted, han qianye changed the topic to yaoyao. she suddenly asked, yaoyao has been sent to the capital. are you planning to go to the capital to pick him up personally after some time? madam di xin smiled and said, i probably wont pick him up. han qianye looked up at madam di xin. it was as if madam di xin knew what she was thinking. madam di xin knew why she had come to country t this time. before this, han qianye had said to madam di xin that she was here to travel with pei qingji. but as expected, madam di xin only believed it on the surface, she did not believe it in her heart. in that case, han qianye did not intend to beat around the bush. she said directly, to be honest, i already know that yaoyao is my biological grandson. madam di xin was not surprised. she only asked han qianye, when did you know? han qianye adjusted her sitting posture slightly and treated this topic seriously. i was very surprised the first time i saw yaoyao because his eyes were too similar to jingzhou when he was young. if he was unrelated, how could he be so similar? however, i also know a principle. children are still young. their facial features havent fully developed. its not surprising who they look like. although im usually careless and dont pay much attention to many things, yaoyaos appearance surprised me. the idea of doing a paternity test came to me then. just to reassure myself. but in order to reassure myself, the result made me even more uneasy. when the paternity test results came out and i found out that yaoyao was jingzhous biological son, i was more anxious than anyone else. at that time, i thought, if this was an illegitimate son who had been wandering outside, how would i explain it to li xiwu? at this point, han qianye sighed helplessly. pei qingji reached over and gently placed his hand on the back of han qianyes hand. he held her hand to make her feel better. madam di xin took the black tea in front of her and took a sip. after putting it down, she asked, what happened next? han qianye said, after that, ive been hiding this matter. before i figured out who yaoyao was born with jingzhou, only my husband and i knew. madam di xin smiled and asked, qianye, since you can tell that yaoyao looks like jingzhou when he was young and immediately went for a paternity test, why dont you be bolder and think that yaoyao is the child of jingzhou and little you? Chapter 386 - Chapter 386: The Truth Back Then (2) chapter 386: the truth back then (2) translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations han qianye explained, at first, i thought of this possibility, but i still rejected it. it was because i didnt know at that time that li xiwu was the former li you. at this point, han qianye looked up at madam di xin with a serious expression. li you and jingzhou were in love. i wouldnt be too surprised if she had a child. but at that time, i thought she was li xiwu, someone who looked like li you but wasnt her. how could she have known jingzhou early and given birth to a three-year-old yaoyao? this was very unreasonable. madam di xin spoke for han qianye. so you thought at that time that yaoyao was the illegitimate child of jingzhou and another woman, or that the child he gave birth to with li you back then had nothing to do with the current li xiwu. it was only when you knew that li xiwu was li you that you had a complete reason to suspect that yaoyao was the child the two of them gave birth to in country t, right? han qianye nodded. yes, thats what i thought after that. when she found out that li xiwu was li you, was very sure that yaoyao was li xiwu and jingzhous son from country t. after all, li xiwu had survived back then. yaoyaos existence also became reasonable. except, no matter how sure she was, she still needed to do a paternity test to confirm it. there was that tiny 1% even with that 99%. if she was wrong, yaoyao had nothing to do with li xiwu. when the time came, things would be huge. it affected li xiwus relationship with jingzhou. so shed been cautious and kept it to herself. madam di xin asked, then are you planning to do another paternity test for yaoyao and li you? han qianye nodded. yes. after a moment, han qianye continued, however, something went wrong in the process and temporarily hindered this plan. the hair follicles in yaoyaos hair could no longer be used. at that time, yaoyao had already been brought back to country t by madam di xin. if she wanted to get yaoyaos dna again, she had to come to country t personally. seeing that dinner was about to start, han qianye took the opportunity to ask madam di xin, how was yaoyao born back then? was the age of yaoyao correct? also, was he born by li xiwu? madam di xin could tell that han qianye was anxious. han qianye must have been holding it in for a long time after chatting so much just now. she had only asked now. madam di xin smiled and gave han qianye an affirmative answer. yaoyao was born by li you. during li yous pregnancy, i accompanied her to many prenatal checkups. also, yaoyao was born prematurely. the ages you knew before didnt match. yaoyao wasnt three years and four months old, but four years and three months old. when han qianye heard that yaoyao was li xiwus biological son, she was extremely happy. hearing that yaoyao was a premature baby and about her age, han qianye held her breath. madam di xin, what happened back then? dont be anxious. madam di xin looked at han qianye. i know youre very eager to know all this. dont be anxious. let me finish first. han qianye suppressed the worry in her heart and nodded. go ahead. madam di xin recalled everything that had happened back then and said tirelessly, yaoyao was a premature baby that was cut out in advance. his various physiques are not well developed, so he needs to stay in the incubator. not long after li yous accident. i rushed to the hosnit.al and picked up yaoyao, who had been in the incubator for more than fifty days. at that time, yaoyaos body had developed much better. he could also be fed at a normal temperature. hearing madam di xins words, han qianye sighed in her heart. this child is lucky. not only is he lucky, but he also has a hard life. a bitter smile appeared on madam di xins lips. it was her heartache for yaoyao. not long after he was born, his grandparents were no longer around, and his mother was no longer around. i originally planned to send yaoyao back to pei jingzhou after i could contact him. at least, he would have a close relative to take care of him. however, when i planned to send yaoyao back, i found out that pei jingzhou was married, so i decided not to send him back for the time being. han qianye lowered her eyes. three years ago, jingzhou suddenly married a woman and she looked a little like li you. although i didnt think that he had really moved on, i treated that woman as li yous substitute. it was the comfort of jingzhou i s longing for li you. therefore, she did not investigate li xiwus true background at that time. of course, even if she checked, she wouldnt find anything wrong. the atmosphere was a little gloomy. han qianye blamed herself for not paying attention to the outside world back then. if she had been a little suspicious back then, even if she could not investigate it for the time being, as long as she was suspicious, it wouldnt have taken so long madam di xin asked han qianye, are you blaming yourself now? han qianye did not speak and used silence to indicate her tacit agreement. pei qingji, who had been sitting at the side without saying anything, suddenly asked) madam di xin, why was yaoyao born prematurely? did something happen back then? its not an accident. madam di xin paused for a moment before continuing, you should know about mo zhus illness back then, right? pei qingji nodded. i know a little. han qianye said, its leukemia. i heard that she left in pain. she didnt know why the topic mentioned mo zhu, but since madam di xin mentioned it, there must be a reason. madam di xin sighed. yes, leukemia. mo zhus beautiful hair was all gone because of leukemia. later on, she wore a wig for a long time. although had never seen mo zhu fall sick later, she remembered mo zhus previous appearance very clearly. in her memory, she was a very intellectual, capable, and beautiful woman. she had become the female mayor of shen city at a young age and had contributed a lot to the development of shen city. many people remembered her, but they did not know that she had passed away due to illness. at this moment, madam di xin revealed the truth. the mo family has no history of illness, and mo zhus body has always been very good. there have never been any lesions in her hematopoietic cells. in addition, leukemia is not contagious. at that time, no one suspected the real reason why mo zhu had leukemia. it wasnt until the last few days of mo zhus late stage that they knew that a virus had caused the abnormality of the hematopoietic function in mo zhus body. and the reason for the virus was that mo zhu followed li huaisheng to the neighboring countries around country t. mo zhu has always known, but she didnt tell anyone and has always hidden it from li huaisheng. later on, li huaisheng broke down when he found out the truth. after mo zhu passed away from illness, he was already prepared to leave with mo zhu. however, at that time, there was chaos in country t and my grandson was kidnapped. at the last moment, li huaisheng went to negotiate alone and successfully saved my grandson. at this point, madam di xin suddenly became very agitated. her voice was trembling. he was able to send my grandson out. actually, he could have survived, but he didnt want to live like this at all. he made preparations in advance and handed li you over to pei jingzhou. then, he made everything right. in the end, he chose his own place and was obliterated by the cannon fire. han qianyes eyes turned red when she heard this. so much happened in country t back then pei qingji had already guessed the answer. ive heard that umbilical cord blood can save people with leukemia. the reason yaoyao was born prematurely was because li you had cut him out in advance to save her mother, right? madam di xin nodded. yes. what madam di xin said next shocked han qianye and pei qingji. madam di xin said, however, li you didnt expect that she would get pregnant without pei jingzhou knowing. twins cant reach their full term. if it was brought forward, it would be very risky for the two fetuses to survive. she knew very well that she had let pei jingzhou down and selfishly chose to save her mother, so she had been hiding her pregnancy from pei jingzhou.. Chapter 387 - Chapter 387: His Partial Selfishness chapter 387: his partial selfishness translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations a corner of the truth from back then was torn open. the past in front of them was enough to make the listeners hearts ache. mo zhus death, li huaishengs subsequent death, and the two children who had been dissected in advance li you faced a huge test of survival alone. she was only twenty years old then. in the prime of her life, she suffered the indelible pain of life. han qianye lost control of her emotions and the tip of her nose was red. she cried until she was out of breath in pei qingjis arms and said in a trembling voice, little you has suffered so much. she thought that her parents were gone and her two children were gone. no wonder she lost her memory. how can she live with these memories pei qingji was not a sentimental person to begin with. he felt pity and wiped han qianyes tears. its all in the past. han qianye pushed away pei qingjis hand that was wiping her tears. what do you know? you havent experienced it before. youre just listening to the process of this matter as a bystander. youre sighing in your heart and feeling sorry for her. and little you has really experienced this. who can understand her pain? the more she spoke, the more han qianye cried. the so-called empathy is always just a word. it didnt happen to you. no one can truly empathize! with that, han qianyes tears flowed even more fiercely. she said with tears in her eyes, my poor yaoyao and my little grandson whom ive never met before. what did i do back then? i han qianye cried and took responsibility. pei qingji did not even know how to coax her. especially now that han qianye was sensitive, he was really afraid that he would say the wrong thing again. recalling madam di xins memories, pei qingji suddenly realized that madam di xin had never said that the other child was no longer around. madam di xin, pei qingji suddenly shouted. at this moment, madam di xin, who was also a little depressed and had yet to recover from her memories, slowly raised her eyes and looked at pei qingji. pei qingji deliberated for a moment before asking, if yaoyao was adopted by you, where did the other child go? han qianye, who was sobbing in pei qingjis arms, stopped when she heard pei qingji ask madam di xin. she looked up from pei qingjis arms with tears in her eyes and looked at madam di xin blankly. look at me. i was too busy crying. han qianye quickly wiped the tears off her face and adjusted her sitting posture. since theyre twins, they must have been cut out on the same day. theyre also premature babies. then is the other child a boy or a girl? did it survive these words choked in han qianyes throat and she could not ask. madam di xins mentality had already eased a lot. seeing that han qianyes face was covered in tears, she gently handed her a piece of paper. wipe it again. pei qingji took it for han qianye. ill do it. after taking the tissue, pei qingji carefully wiped han qianyes face. han qianye waited patiently for what madam di xin was about to say. like most twins, one of them will absorb more nutrition, so they will naturally develop the best. although li yous two children are both premature babies, yaoyaos physique is much worse. he needs to stay in an incubator for nearly two months. the other is a girl. her physique development is not bad. she passed the critical period safely. after her body growth and development were normal, she only stayed in the incubator for more than twenty days. li you endured immense psychological pressure to save her mother, but she was still a step too late. in the end, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only watch her mother die. at this time, because the two children had just been taken out, they went through a very dangerous rescue. she was also told by the doctor that the chances of the two children surviving would be very low. this is undoubtedly a huge blow to li you, who has just lost her mother. she lost her mother and almost couldnt keep her two children. the scenes of the past appeared in front of her eyes. madam di xin sighed softly. that was the most difficult period for li you. she was even a little crazy. one moment, she thought that her mother was still around, and the next moment, she thought that the twins were gone. after that, there was chaos. after li huaishengs accident, li yous accidents happened one after another. i naturally couldnt ignore her children, but when i went to pick them up from the hospital, only yaoyao was left in the incubator. han qianyes heart skipped a beat when she heard this. is there any news of the other child? madam di xin said, i used a lot of manpower to find out who took the other child. han qianye asked anxiously and nervously, then, then did you find out? madam di xin nodded. of course. its very easy to find out from the manpower i used. his name is gu lanshi. he was once li huaishengs student and is on good terms with li you. gu lanshi, gu lanshi han qianye murmured the name repeatedly. the more she listened, the more familiar it sounded. i think ive heard this name somewhere. pei qingjis words reminded han qianye, could it be that variety show you guys went to? yes! han qianye remembered after pei qingjis reminder. tang xians son! that time at the li mansion, he was the one who tried to forcefully recover little yous memories! madam di xin asked, are you familiar with each other? han qianye shook her head. no. moreover, at the mention of this person now, han qianye was still angry. this person has evil intentions. he must have known everything that happened to little you in country t back then. since he knew, he still tried to forcefully recover little yous memories. its really too much. fortunately, i rushed in on time that day. if she was a step later, li xiwu would probably remember her past. madam di xin was a little surprised. so he tried to forcefully recover li yous memories at that time. i havent contacted him in the past few years. he probably only knew that li you had been alive because of that variety show. madam di xin did not know about this. now that she heard han qianye mention this, she was more or less surprised. madam di xin said, he wants to recover li yous memories as soon as possible. other than a small part of his selfishness, a large part of the reason is probably the girl he took away back then. pei qingji put away the tissue and asked, i want to know, since you found out who took the girl back then, why didnt you ask him to return the girl? madam di xin smiled. i naturally talked to gu lanshi, but in the end, i agreed to let gu lanshi take li yous daughter away. i know that he will treat li yous daughter well because thats his only consolation for missing li you. as for me, i still have to take care of yaoyao. pei qingji nodded. understood. han qianye immediately asked, then is my granddaughter still with gu lanshi? Chapter 388 - Chapter 388: Not Lost, Repossessed chapter 388: not lost, repossessed translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations madam di xin shook her head, but it wasnt that she didnt know what it meant, but she wasnt completely clear, so she didnt continue. at this moment, han qianye suddenly thought of something. she suddenly turned to look at pei qingji. that day pei qingji understood what han qianye was thinking based on the expression on her face. you want to talk about the photo my daughter showed you that day. han qianye nodded. yes, its the photo jiaojiao showed me. could the little girl in the photo be her granddaughter?? han qianye told madam di xin about when madam di xin heard this, she guessed, gu lanshi might have returned li yous daughter to her. the little girl you saw in the photo might be yaoyaos twin sister. hearing this, han qianye was extremely excited. she turned around and patted pei qingjis arm. that i s great, thats great. old pei, we have to return to the country quickly. pei qingji smiled and asked, youre not eating dinner? han qianye was stunned for a moment. she turned around and saw madam di xin looking at her with a smile. han qianye was slightly embarrassed. im sorry, madam di xin. i was too happy and excited. madam di xin said, qianye, i know youre anxious, but at this point, its better to eat dinner before leaving for china. it wont take long. han qianye quickly nodded. okay. on the lu familys side. at this moment, boyuan was already a little regretful. she couldnt wait to tell li xiwu yaoyaos true identity at the dining table. she was too quick-witted, but it caused li xiwu to not be able to eat a mouthful of rice. she couldnt wait to ask her what was going on. boyuan could only tell li xiwu and pei jingzhou the truth. it wasnt a long story. it was just a matter of a few words. after saying that, boyuan reached out to take the red wine in front of her to moisten her throat. lu jia was quick to change the red wine to warm water. boyuan smiled knowingly. after drinking most of the cup of water in one go, she put down the cup and clasped her hands together. she looked at li xiwu opposite her. thats what happened. yaoyao is also your and mr. peis biological son. you gave birth to twins in country t back then. li xiwu clearly felt that her breathing was unstable, her hands and feet were cold, and her scalp was even numb. the complicated physical reaction made her brain very confused, and she did not react for a long time. pei jingzhou, who was still calm, stood up and changed places. he sat beside li xiwu and held her hand, giving her a sense of security and trying to calm her down. but that didnt seem to help. pei jingzhou could clearly feel the fingertips of the hand he was holding trembling. pei jingzhou frowned and ignored boyuan and lu jia. he pulled li xiwu into his arms and hugged her. we didnt lose them. they came back. yaoyao is our son. he and youyou are biological siblings. pei jingzhous words were calm and powerful, pulling li xiwu back to reality. but she hadnt calmed down yet. she didnt dare to look at yaoyao or youyou for fear of scaring them. beside him, youyou stared blankly at her parents, who were hugging each other. yaoyaos face was expressionless as she watched this scene quietly. he seemed to be able to sense that all of this was related to her. boyuan whispered to lu jia, am i too anxious? or am i being too direct? i feel that li yous emotions are out of control lu ya comforted boyuan. its not direct, and theres no hurry. theyll find out sooner or later. she lost control of her emotions because she regained them. although shes never had them before, theres always a gap in her heart. its finally filled up. boyuan pursed her lips and said nothing in the end. worried about her mother, youyou wanted to slide out of the chair and go to her mother. her short legs swayed and she kicked twice, wanting to slide down. but the chair was too close to the dining table. she needed to move it back a little first, but she wasnt strong enough. she used all her strength. at this moment, yaoyao suddenly reached out to grab youyous hand. youyou turned to look at yaoyao. why are you pulling me? yaoyao did not speak. he let go of youyous hand and pushed the dining table in front of him with both hands. he moved the chair under him and slowly slid back a little. after the gap in the middle widened, yaoyao slid down from the chair. yaoyao, who had successfully slid down, went behind youyous chair and moved it back for her. after all, he was small and did not have enough strength. he could only move bit by bit. the adults on both sides didnt notice this. when the gap was wider, youyou could slide down smoothly. with a thud, her small boots landed on the floor. youyou, who had lost her balance, almost fell. yaoyao held her up. after youyou steadied herself, she turned around and bent down slightly with her hands behind her back. her eyes were like crescent moons as she smiled. thank you ? after thanking him, youyou walked towards li xiwu. youyou didnt know, but yaoyao followed silently. mom. youyou walked over and hugged li xiwu. she asked warmly, whats wrong? li xiwu had calmed down a lot. when she heard youyous voice, she looked to the side. youyou was very worried about her. her face and eyes were filled with obvious worry. li xiwu reached out and touched youyous hair. moms fine. youyou took the initiative to rub her head into li xiwus palm. im hungry. i want to eat the prawns mom peeled. li xiwu agreed gently. okay. yaoyao. pei jingzhous voice suddenly sounded. li xiwu looked up and saw pei jingzhou looking to her side. li xiwu followed pei jingzhous gaze and looked to the side. she saw yaoyao standing there quietly. their eyes met, and yaoyaos small face was expressionless. he was too quiet. so quiet that he made himself invisible. it was hard to spot him. li xiwu got up, got out of her seat, and squatted down in front of yaoyao. at this moment, thousands of words were gathered in her heart. there were too many questions and concerns. for a moment, she didnt know which one to ask. why are you crying? suddenly, yaoyao spoke, and he was asking li xiwu. this surprised li xiwu, but more ecstasy surged in her heart. she slowly reached out and tried to hold yaoyaos hand. she was afraid that yaoyao would reject her, so she was probing. when she realized that yaoyao did not refuse, she successfully held her hand and could not help but cry tears of joy again. her voice was extremely choked. because, because, because im happy. yaoyao pulled a long face. at first glance, he really looked like pei jingzhou. youre lying. i wont cry if im happy. this time, yaoyao said more than the previous sentence. li xiwu was really happy. but the tear glands seemed to have become independent. they kept crying and could not be controlled. im really happy. li xiwu reached out her other hand and slowly pulled yaoyao into her arms. yaoyao did not resist li xiwus hug. but he couldnt be considered happy.. Chapter 389 - Chapter 389: Mom Will Always Be By Your Side chapter 389: mom will always be by your side translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations last time, she was also so good to him, but when she turned around, she had other children and did not look for him. she did not really like him. yaoyao did not want to covet this moment of warmth. however, he couldnt bear to push li xiwu away. deep in his heart, he still yearned. if only he could hug her more. even as he thought that, her grip on him loosened. sure enough, she wouldnt hug him all the time. li xiwu also wanted to hug yaoyao more because yaoyao did not resist her touch at this moment. however, she was afraid that her tears would fall non-stop and rub against yaoyao before letting go. she raised her hand and kept wiping her tears. for the first time, she cried like a child. even the way she wiped her tears was very childlike yaoyao watched quietly. he was still sulking, but seeing that she kept wiping away tears, kept wiping them away, he wondered why she was crying. isnt it only children who cry? why did adults cry too? could he reach out and wipe her tears? would she despise it? probably not? why doesnt he try it? yaoyaos hands moved slightly at his sides, trying to lift them and do what he wanted. but the fingertip moved several times and still did not lift. after many internal struggles, he gave up. she would definitely despise it, he thought. after wiping her tears, li xiwu looked up and looked at yaoyao seriously. seeing that yaoyao was frowning, li xiwu thought, is it because i was too ugly from crying just now? yaoyao said, mm. li xiwu smiled bitterly. then i wont cry anymore it doesnt look good when i cry. yaoyao moved the corners of her lips and said, but you look good when you smile. li xiwu asked, really? yaoyao nodded and answered seriously, really. when boyuan and lu jia saw this scene, they couldnt help but sigh. blood relations were really magical. boyuan said, they clearly didnt acknowledge each other, and yaoyao didnt know that the person in front of him was the mother he missed day and night. however, just because he had met her once and spent a few days with her, he developed such a strong dependence on li xiwu. lu jia added, what surprised me the most was that yaoyao said a lot just now, and he communicated normally with miss li the entire time. you didnt think yaoyao would stutter just because he had retardation in speech, did you? boyuan asked lu jia. lu jia admitted, im not lying to you. actually, i really think so. after all, for so long, he hasnt said a few complete words every time i interact with him. im just thinking that he rarely speaks. its rare for him to only say two or three words. he shouldnt be able to communicate normally. boyuan reached out angrily and nudged lu jia. i heard from my mother that he can communicate normally if hes willing to talk. he just doesnt want to talk. realization dawned on lu jia. i see. at this moment, li xiwu was already adjusting her mood as soon as possible. a good mood could make the corners of her lips curl up more naturally. then ill smile more because yaoyao likes to see me smile. yaoyao suddenly frowned. li xiwu raised her hand and soothed yaoyaos frown. dont keep frowning, yaoyao. you look good like this. yaoyao asked, will you never leave me as long as i keep smiling at you? these words made li xiwu, who had finally adjusted her emotions, instantly cry again. her bean-sized tears fell like broken beads, startling yaoyao. as her tears fell, li xiwu shook her head at yaoyao. no, never again. from now on, i will be by your side forever. every word was hard to say. every word was very firm. yaoyao slowly raised his hand and slowly reached for li xiwus face. li xiwu probably knew what yaoyao wanted to do and didnt move until his fingertips touched her face. that small hand gently wiped away her tears. as he did so, he said, dont cry. li xiwu nodded. okay, i wont cry. ill listen to yaoyao. yaoyao shook his head. you dont have to listen to me. just dont cry. li xiwu held back her tears. she looked up and forced back the tears in her eyes. she had to control her emotions. youyou also wanted to come over and comfort her mother, but her father was holding her hand, so she couldnt come over. hence, youyou took it for granted that her father had made her mother cry. she turned around and lectured pei jingzhou fiercely. dont make her cry. pei jingzhous expression was gentle as he replied, okay. youyou pouted. but mommy is crying. go coax her. pei jingzhou nodded and shouted at yaoyao, yaoyao. yaoyao looked up at pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou waved his hand. come here. yaoyao seemed to be hesitating about whether to go over. he looked at li xiwu in front of him and then looked up at pei jingzhou. after some hesitation, he did not want to go over. li xiwu wiped her face gently and said to yaoyao, go over. after hearing li xiwus words, yaoyao walked towards pei jingzhou. when yaoyao stood in front of pei jingzhou and looked up at him, although he did not say a word, his expression seemed to ask, why did you call me over? pei jingzhou bent down slightly and asked, are you hungry? yaoyao shook his head. pei jingzhou said, do you want prawns? ill peel them for you. yaoyao was about to shake his head, but when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment before nodding. you dont want to do it yourself, do you? pei jingzhou smiled, then stood up with yaoyao in his arms. sit down properly first. ill peel it for you. he carried yaoyao to a chair and sat down. in front of him was a large plate of boiled prawns. pei jingzhou rolled up his sleeves and wiped his hands with the towel beside him. then, he began to peel the prawns. he peeled for three people, li xiwu, youyou, and yaoyao. li xiwus emotions had already stabilized a lot. she also knew that if she continued to cry, she would collapse. she was also a little hungry. she thought that she would have to spend a lot of energy accompanying yaoyao later. even if she didnt have an appetite, she had to eat something to fill her stomach. she was about to start eating. youyou placed the first prawn she had obtained in li xiwus bowl. mom, eat. li xiwu picked up the prawn for youyou, who covered her bowl. no, no. its for mom. li xiwu couldnt help but laugh. okay, thank you, youyou. youyou smiled. youre welcome. in the next moment, there was another prawn in the bowl. yaoyao just retracted his hand and was silently eating. li xiwus heart softened. the emptiness and incompleteness in her heart were completely filled. this perfection made li xiwu even more determined to regain her memories. she had to regain her memory.. Chapter 390 - Chapter 390: Being Firmly Chosen chapter 390: being firmly chosen translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the atmosphere in the dining room was very good. yaoyao also ate obediently. however, compared to the continuous conversation with li xiwu, there was much silence during the meal. whatever pei jingzhou and li xiwu picked up for him, he would eat a little. if he couldnt eat, he wouldnt eat too much. he didnt force himself. however, the problem they had to face after dinner was how to persuade yaoyao to go home with li xiwu and pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou was already communicating with yaoyao. it was obvious that pei jingzhous communication did not seem to be very effective. yaoyao was very obedient in front of pei jingzhou, but it seemed to be a relatively difficult task to follow the two of them this time. yaoyao was clearly unwilling. as for why boyuan saw li xiwus worry and pulled her to the side. actually theres something i havent told you. li xiwu turned to look at boyuan. what is it? at this moment, li xiwu was too sensitive. when she heard boyuan say that there was still something she had not told her, she was afraid that it was something serious, especially if it was related to yaoyao. seeing that li xiwu looked a little nervous, boyuan quickly said, dont think too much about it first. its not a big deal. i just found it by chance after you left this afternoon. li xiwu nodded. go ahead. boyuan looked up at yaoyao and then at youyou, who looked a little unhappy. she said slowly, the reason why yaoyao ignored you after you came today is actually because he saw you walk past him with youyou in your arms that day. as she spoke, boyuan couldnt help but sigh. although children are carefree, their minds are also very sensitive, especially children like yaoyao. their minds are several times more sensitive than other children. when he returned to country t, i heard from my mother that yaoyao was actually in a very bad state. he should have been fantasizing that you could meet him or pick him up, but you didnt come. my mother instructed my brother to send yaoyao to the capital and tried to contact you to probe you. then, he would find an opportunity to explain yaoyaos identity. i thought that when yaoyao saw you, his mood would improve a little, but he bumped into you with youyou in advance. therefore, in yaoyaos opinion, he was simply chosen by you once and was decisively abandoned by you. upon hearing this, how could li xiwu not understand? she lowered her eyes and said in an extremely self-reproachful tone, so what youyou saw that day was yaoyao. yaoyao also saw youyou. its just that we were out of tune. no wonder yaoyao thought he was the one chosen. however, when he saw another child about his age being hugged by li xiwu and pei jingzhou, he would also be disappointed and sad. he would think that he was not good enough and was abandoned. li xiwu said, no wonder yaoyao was unwilling to acknowledge me after seeing me today. it was like seeing a stranger. at that time, i was still wondering if yaoyao had forgotten about me because i hadnt seen him for a while boyuan said, how could that be? how could yaoyao bear to forget you? li xiwu looked up at yaoyao, who was not far away. the childs face was tense and his lips were tightly pursed. he looked like he had no intention of compromising at all. li xiwu was about to go over when boyuan stopped her. wait, li you. li xiwu paused and turned to look at boyuan. boyuan reminded li xiu, concern makes you confused. this reminder did immediately remind li xiwu. boyuan continued) now that you know why yaoyao ignored you, are you going to coax him with a promise? yaoyao is on guard. he only believes in the temporary and not the long-term. hes very afraid of being abandoned. that was a very important reason. however, li xiwu ignored it. that was why boyuan reminded her that yaoyao would not believe her if she only promised him. he would only appear obedient on the surface, but there was a barrier in his heart. knowing that he was not the only one, he would seal his heart even more. boyuan gestured to li xiwu. look at youyou beside you. li xiwu turned her gaze to youyou, who was standing at the side. because pei jingzhou was talking to yaoyao, youyou stood there quietly and watched with a lonely expression. li you, youre a very smart person. you can see clearly at any time and understand the most. the reason why youre confused about yaoyao is because youre worried. boyuan got to the point. because she did not remind li you at this moment, li you realized that she had missed something. boyuan said, these two children separated before they were even full-term, let alone grew up together. neither side knows that the other is their twin brother and sister. not only yaoyao, but youyou will also wonder if she will be abandoned if another child suddenly comes. will the joy she obtain be short-lived? li xiwu pursed her lips. i know what you mean. boyuan breathed a sigh of relief. im glad youre rational now and can listen to me carefully. throughout the entire process, boyuan advised li xiwu sincerely. to li xiwu, this affection was especially precious. she already understood boyuans intentions and nodded at her. yaoyao will stay here with you for now. ill come over often to see him during this period of time. when hes willing to open his heart to me again, ill take him home. she paused for a moment and brought up something more important. the psychotherapist contacted by pei jingzhou will come over tomorrow if nothing goes wrong. ill come over too. mr. pei is indeed efficient. boyuan was relieved to hear that the psychotherapist had been found. you can just come over tomorrow. ill be at home. li xiwu nodded. okay. she turned around and walked towards pei jingzhou. seeing her come over, pei jingzhou stood up and shook his head silently at li xiwu. no matter what i say, he will listen. but he is still unwilling to come with us. li xiwu took a deep breath, and her originally tense expression softened. boyuans words just reminded me that its understandable that yaoyao isnt willing to come with us now. with that, li xiwu shook her head at pei jingzhou. he doesnt feel safe. pei jingzhou quickly understood what li xiwu meant. li xiwu gestured. go coax youyou. ill talk to yaoyao for a while. after that, well go home first. ill come back tomorrow. pei jingzhou understood that this was the only way. after pei jingzhou went over to accompany youyou, li xiwu walked to yaoyao. she leaned over to hug yaoyao. yaoyao was not in a good mood, but he did not resist li xiwus contact. he let li xiwu pick him up and place him on the sofa beside her. right on the heels of that, she squatted down in front of yaoyao and reached out to touch his hair. she said gently, baby yaoyao, i wont be very busy with work recently. ill have a lot of time to come over and play with you. we have to go back tonight. ill come back tomorrow. yaoyao listened quietly and said nothing. li xiwu smiled faintly. i mean what i say. ill definitely come tomorrow because i like you very much. that i like you very much made yaoyaos pupils lose focus for a moment.. Chapter 391 - Chapter 391: Like From the Bottom Of the Heart chapter 391: like from the bottom of the heart translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations with that, li xiwu was about to get up. the obedient and silent yaoyao suddenlv asked her. will vou reallv come tomorrow? li xiwu stopped in her tracks and looked at yaoyao. yaoyao did not avoid her gaze. he asked again what he had just said, his tone even more persistent than before. will you really come again tomorrow? after asking, yaoyao patiently waited for li xiwus answer. anticipation flashed across his eyes. li xiwu felt a lump in her throat. she told herself to calm down. she took a deep breath to calm herself down and nodded at yaoyao. i will. i will definitely come tomorrow. yaoyao did not show a trace of joy when he heard li xiwus answer. he carefully hid his emotions. oh, he said and didnt say anything else. li xiwu gently waved at yaoyao. bye, yaoyao. im going back. yaoyao nodded slowly. li xiwu stopped waving and reached out to yaoyao. she cupped her hands around yaoyaos cheek. then ill see you tomorrow, okay? yaoyao still nodded slowly. even though yaoyao did not speak, li xiwu was still very satisfied. at least yaoyao nodded. this was yaoyaos response to her. he must be looking forward to it too. after retracting her hand, li xiwu stood up and walked towards pei jingzhou. lets go home. pei jingzhous gaze landed on yaoyao, who was sitting on the sofa. yaoyao was also looking at him. the father and son looked at each other for a moment. yaoyao retracted his gaze and lowered his head. pei jingzhou understood that li xiwus decision was right. nothing could be rushed. this was the best solution. after leaving the lu family, li xiwu was a little dejected. youyou, who was in pei jingzhous arms, was very obedient and quiet. this was because youyou could sense that her mother was unhappy. she could not disturb her mother at this time. after getting into the car, li xiwu felt better. she reached out and said, youyou, come to me. pei jingzhou wanted to say something, but youyou had already slipped out of pei jingzhous arms. she moved towards li xiwu and threw herself into her arms. morn ? youyou threw herself into li xiwus arms and sweetly called her mother. li xiwu gently stroked youyous cheek. yes. youyou looked up and blinked as she asked li xiwu, is brother coming to our house in the future? li xiwus hand on youyous cheek paused. it was clearly just a simple answer, but at this moment, li xiwu did not know how to answer youyous question with the most suitable words. the chauffeur maintained a uniform speed and drove on the wide avenue. the rows of buildings on both sides of the street and the greenery kept retreating through the car windows into afterimages. while li xiwu was thinking, pei jingzhou had already asked youyou for her, do you like yaoyao? youyou opened her eyes. i like him. pei jingzhou continued to ask, then what do you think if we bring yaoyao back to live with us? as soon as he said this, the smile on youyous face faded a little until it completely disappeared. she lowered her eyes and pouted. she asked in a low voice, when yaoyao comes, are you sending me away? no. no. the answers came from li xiwu and pei jingzhou almost in unison. youyou turned around and looked up at li xiwu, as if she wanted to confirm it again. really? li xiwus answer was gentle and firm. i really wont. hearing this answer, the smile that had disappeared returned to youyous face. her eyebrows relaxed and she danced. okay, okay. i love and she liked him from the bottom of her heart. she liked him for no reason. from the first time they met to today, she liked him very much. li xiwu looked at youyou, who was dancing with joy. worried that she would fall) she reached out to support her. when youyou stopped, she kissed youyou i s forehead. mom will bring yaoyao over as soon as possible. youyou nodded. okay. youyou, pei jingzhou shouted. youyou turned to look at her father. huh? pei jingzhou corrected her. in the future, yaoyao will not be a younger brother. he will be an older brother. youyou didnt ask too many questions and nodded obediently. ill remember. pei jingzhou did not expect his daughter to accept it so quickly. he remembered that he had been doing the procedures recently and had moved youyous household register over, but he had yet to think of her name. honey, have you thought of a nice name for youyou? pei jingzhou asked. li xiwu smiled faintly. fourth brother, havent you thought about it? pei jingzhou said, i thought about it a little, but i feel that its a little lacking. he had originally planned to return to the pei family and let pei qingji and han qianye name youyou and enter the pei familys genealogy. however, pei qingji and han qianye had not been in the pei family recently. he told li xiwu his thoughts. li xiwu said, youyous name and yaoyaos name have to be prepared, but auntie and uncle havent been around recently. lets wait a little longer, or pei jingzhou smiled. you suddenly thought of a nice name? li xiwu looked up at pei jingzhou. i dreamed of a scene. pei jingzhou: yeah? li xiwu said softly, in my dream, i was pregnant. my father, who was standing beside me, told my mother that if i gave birth to a boy, his name would be li yangui. if it was a girl, her name would be li yansheng. she dreamed of it, so that must have happened. li yangui, li yansheng. pei jingzhou murmured these two names with a relaxed expression, as if he was very satisfied. these two names are very good, pei jingzhou said. our father must have thought about it seriously, or he wrote down the names after flipping through the naming dictionary page by page. this sentence hit li xiwus heart. she sighed with emotion. it had been so long since the dream. she could still remember the two names her father had mentioned in the dream. she had probably committed them to memory deep down. as for surnames, one is surnamed pei, and the other is surnamed li, pei jingzhou suddenly said. li xiwu looked at pei jingzhou in a daze. are you sure? pei jingzhous eyes and tone were firm. yes, but its up to you to decide who takes the surname pei and who takes the surname li. dont worry about entering the genealogy. there will be another name written on the genealogy. just change the household register. family genealogy and household registration did not conflict. in the genealogy, the descendants of the pei family could not write external surnames, so they had to choose another name to enter the genealogy. in the future, they could use both names. li xiwu looked at youyou, who was about to fall asleep in her arms. let me think about it. theres no hurry to decide. pei jingzhou replied gently, okay. back at lake lu, pei jingzhou took youyou, who was already asleep in li xiwus arms. as he hugged youyou with one hand, he did not forget to hold li xiwus hand with the other. li xiwu smiled. just carry youyou. you dont have to hold my hand. im not a child. pei jingzhou held li xiwus hand firmly. we have to hold hands for the rest of our lives, no matter what.. Chapter 392 - Chapter 392: A Burning Look chapter 392: a burning look translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the next day, li xiwu was going to the company for a morning meeting and asked for leave from the higher-ups. pei jingzhou would send youyou to kindergarten this morning. pei jingzhou was holding youyous small school bag. youyou stood on tiptoe. ill carry my own school bag. okay. pei jingzhou agreed and bent down to place the small bag on youyous back. youyou wrapped her hands around the straps of her bag and looked up at pei jingzhou. if only yaoyao would go to school with me in the future. hearing this, pei jingzhou squatted down and carefully tidied youyous bangs. this day will come, and this day will come soon. li xiwu, who had already packed up, walked out. seeing that the father and daughter were talking, she brought the milk to youyou. youre so happy. what did dad tell you? youyou held the glass of warm fresh milk. daddy said that i can go to school with yaoyao soon. li xiwu looked at pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou said, it wont take long. li xiwu smiled gently. yes, not for long. pei jingzhou stood up, and so did li xiwu. she helped pei jingzhou tidy his collar bow tie, and pei jingzhou looked at her deeply. how could li xiwu not feel pei jingzhous burning gaze in front of her? when she was almost done tidying up, she looked up at pei jingzhou. ive already received a call from the psychotherapist. weve agreed on a time. ill go over to see him after my morning meeting. theres no hurry to come over. deal with your work first. pei jingzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at her hand. then he raised his hand to hers and kissed it. okay. li xiwu asked, fourth brother, do you have something to say? hearing this, pei jingzhou smiled. you know what im thinking with a look. look what this means. li xiwu smiled. what does that mean? pei jingzhou said, it means that my wife loves me very much. li xiwu snorted and laughed at him. look at you. you dont look like a man whos turning thirty. instead, you look like a young boy who has just fallen in love. pei jingzhou leaned forward slightly. a young boy who has just experienced love will say sweet nothings to his girlfriend. its nice, but it might not be reliable. and im your husband. not only are sweet nothings nice, but theyre also reliable. thats the difference. li xiwu chuckled and pushed him gently. alright, alright, alright. reliable, especially reliable. i have to go out. pei jingzhou replied gently, okay. the morning meeting would take about half an hour. it would take another half an hour to apply for leave and leave the company. it was estimated that the time to meet the mental therapist was just right. if she was delayed at home, there would not be enough time later. youyou had already finished her milk. but she took it and put it away herself. she hopped around with her small school bag on her back. li xiwu walked forward and bent down to kiss youyous forehead. mommy is going to work. daddy will send you to kindergarten today. mommy will pick you up after school. youyou nodded obediently. okay~ then, she raised her hand and waved at li xiwu. bye, mommy~ li xiwu smiled. it was true that she was very happy, but there was something missing from this happiness. previously, she didnt know and couldnt say what it was that she was missing, but now she knew. what she was missing was yaoyao. the family of four was considered complete. she waved goodbye to youyou before leaving. she drove to the office. after the morning meeting ended, the other higher-ups left. li xiwu stayed. qi jiangchi, who had yet to leave, adjusted his posture to a comfortable and lazy sitting posture. without anyone around, he did not have to maintain his image as a boss. he could do whatever he wanted. he looked up at li xiwu, who was tidying up the documents, and teased, its said that people are in high spirits when theyre happy. it seems that miss li has encountered a happy occasion. tell me about it and make me happy. li xiwu organized the documents in front of her and pushed them to the side of her hand. did i really put my feelings on my face? qi jiangchi raised his chin. there are five words written on your face: im in a good mood. li xiwu smiled. its a private matter. im happy. ill enjoy it alone. qi jiangchi pursed his lips. tsk! at this moment, the morning meeting was over. there was no need to talk about work. putting aside their superior-subordinate relationship, the two of them chatted as friends. when they were almost done chatting, li xiwu planned to cut to the chase. she naturally couldnt be self-righteous about always taking leave, so she didnt mention it directly. qi jiangchi seemed to know what she was going to say. before she could speak, he said, im sharing something happy with you. li xiwu asked, what is it? qi jiangchi adjusted his sitting posture and leaned forward. hua guan media is about to be listed. this news came so suddenly that li xiwu was surprised. when? qi jiangchi smiled meaningfully. probably at the beginning of next year. at the beginning of next year. it was the end of the year now. that was almost immediate. li xiwu asked, why didnt i hear you mention this at the morning meeting? logically speaking, the morning meeting would definitely mention such an important matter like the companys listing. it would quickly spread internally in preparation for next years listing. however, at the morning meeting just now, qi jiangchi did not mention that the company was going public in front of the higher-ups. this puzzled li xiwu. seeing li xiwus reaction, qi jiangchi couldnt help but laugh. are you guessing if i was lying to you just now? li xiwu continued, im guessing if something happened inside the company. qi jiangchi laughed. as expected, were not on the same channel. li xiwu looked puzzled. what do you mean? it means that the company is indeed going public. the time will be faster than i expected. i didnt lie to you when i said that its the beginning of the year. its just that im not prepared yet, so i didnt mention this today. but soon, the entire company will know that hua guan media is going public at the beginning of the year. qi jiangchi finished speaking in one breath. although she did not say why the company could be listed as soon as possible, li xiwu understood the reason after some thought. qi jiangchi took in the expression on li xiwus face and knew that she understood. in a week, the shares will be approved by the securities regulator. after theyre completed, theyll be ready to be issued. theres a big boss overseeing the fund-raising. ill just cross my legs and wait for the day the company goes public. who else could it be other than pei jingzhou when it comes to big boss? li xiwu did not expect it at first because the news that the company was about to go public was very sudden. under normal circumstances, they had to wait until the end of next year for hua guan media to be listed. the company had to make a hit to drive the listing. and just now, qi jiangchi had deliberately revealed the reason why it was listed. li xiwus reaction was not slow, and she quickly understood why it was listed so quickly. pei jingzhou had spent money on hua guan media! Chapter 393 - Chapter 393: How Can It Compare to Twenty Years of Childhood Friendship? chapter 393: how can it compare to twenty years of childhood friendship? translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the smile on a persons face was enough to prove how happy he was. li xiwu looked at the smile on qi jiangchis face and was quite happy. president qi, since the company is about to be listed, then next li xiwu was interrupted by qi jiangchi. rest well from now on. other than the morning meeting, you can make arrangements for the morning and afternoon yourself. li xiwu was stunned. qi jiangchi asked, are you worried that no one will care about xue jinzhu? li xiwu had yet to react. im i know, i know. qi jiangchi gave li xiwu a reassuring look. you dont have to worry about xue jinzhu. shes your artist, so i naturally wont hand her over to others to take care of. dont worry, ill watch over xue jinzhu personally. it was probably because qi jiangchi was in an especially good mood today. he said a lot more. especially just now, li xiwu could not interrupt him many times. it was not until qi jiangchi finished speaking that li xiwu had a chance to ask, so youve arranged everything for me? qi jiangchi gave li xiwu a reassuring expression. i didnt arrange it for you. president pei arranged it for me clearly. no phenomenal popular drama has urged the company to go public. i still have to work hard for a long time to do it. as soon as president pei made a move, i flew to the cosmic space station on a rocket. at this point, qi jiangchis expression looked much more smug. i havent told my father about such a big matter yet. if my father knew, he could start writing the family tree from me. this was a slightly exaggerated joke. li xiwu echoed, then youll directly become a new ancestor. qi jiangchi couldnt stop smiling. seeing qi jiangchi smile so happily, li xiwu was also happy. although pei jingzhou was the one who spent the money, li xiwu still owed qi jiangchi a favor. thank you. qi jiangchis smile faded a little. i dont like to hear this. li xiwu smiled faintly. alright, im not going to say it anymore. qi jiangchis smile returned. what do you want to do now? go ahead and do it. i wont do anything directly to xue jinzhus arrangements. ill tell you in advance. dont worry. li xiwu nodded. okay. after coming out of the meeting room, li xiwu returned to the office downstairs. yuanyuan was beside xue jinzhu. after li xiwu finished dealing with her matters, she left the company to meet the psychotherapist who had arrived on time. on the other side. after pei jingzhou sent youyou to kindergarten, he did not go to the company. instead, he went to see gu lanshi. chen xin was the one who handled the transfer of youyous identity. not only did pei jingzhou not appear, but gu lanshi also handed these matters to his assistant. in the tea pavilion, the two men sat facing each other. gu lanshi held the tea needle in his hand and fiddled with the cinnamon in front of him. i thought you wouldnt see me after youyous transfer procedures were completed. pei jingzhou said, that was my original plan. the corners of gu lanshis lips twitched. he placed the cinnamon that had been opened with a tea needle into the cover bowl and poured boiling water. he poured it into the tea plate the first time and into the purple clay pot the second time. he was skilled in every move. it was obvious that he drank tea a lot. after pouring tea into the teacup in front of pei jingzhou, gu lanshi said, do you imow why i specially ordered the tiger roaring rock? pei jingzhou picked up the teacup in front of him and smelled the fragrance. she likes it. gu lanshi looked up in surprise. i thought you didnt know. pei jingzhous voice was cold. what makes you think so? gu lanshi choked. thats true. how can the time i spent with little you compare to the time you were childhood sweethearts for twenty years? gu lanshi said this with some realization. it couldnt completely be said that he had put it down. only he knew that he couldnt put it down, but he couldnt hold it either. back then, he could not change pei jingzhous status in li yous eyes. four years later, he still could not do it. friends can still be friends. gu lanshi picked up his cup of tea and sniffed it. if i cant even be friends, how regretful will that be? thats why its only friends. with that, he took a sip of tea and vented the pent-up frustration in his chest. pei jingzhou did not drink it. he put down his teacup. you took care of youyou for three years. logically speaking, i should thank you. gu lanshi played with the teacup in his hand and smiled casually. to be able to make president pei thank me, ive gained face here. in the past, pei jingzhou would not even look at gu lanshi. however, youyou had been raised by gu lanshi. in the past four years, not only had youyou grown up well, but she also had a good personality. it was enough to show that gu lanshi had taken good care of youyou. of course, personality also had a lot to do with her nature. however, it was a fact that youyou was in good health. therefore, pei jingzhou was very patient and did not look cold. theres something i want to confirm with you. gu lanshi raised his eyebrows. go ahead. pei jingzhou asked, did li you get pregnant behind my back to save her mother? gu lanshi lowered his eyes and did not answer immediately. he seemed to be thinking about whether to answer this question. pei jingzhou did not rush him. he waited patiently for gu lanshi to finish thinking and decided not to say it. pei jingzhou was very patient. he waited for three to five minutes. gu lanshi poured the tea in the purple clay pot and made a new pot. he poured himself another cup and slowly savored it. he seemed to be testing pei jingzhous patience, but to gu lanshi, he had just not thought it through. the two of them drink their tea quietly for a while without saying anything after a while, pei jingzhou spoke first. she didnt tell me. its not that she doesnt believe me, nor is she afraid that ill be angry that shell gamble with the childs life. shes afraid that if she loses the child in the end, she wont be able to face me, so shes been hiding it from me since she was pregnant. coincidentally, mo zhu was sick. she needed to recuperate for chemotherapy. li xiwu used the excuse of accompanying her mother for chemotherapy to hide it from pei jingzhou. if it were any other reason, pei jingzhou would definitely not not come to country t for a few months. gu lanshi said calmly, youve already found out everything you need to know. theres no need to ask me again. i didnt find out. pei jingzhou said truthfully, its a guess. gu lanshi said, guess? pei jingzhou said bluntly, madam di xin blocked all information back then, so i was kept in the dark for so many years and didnt know anything. however, i knew about madam mo zhus leukemia back then. the appearance of youyou and the concealment of her pregnancy back then made me guess that li you planned to use umbilical cord blood to save her mother. gu lanshi said, your guess is right. madam di xins power had absolute authority in country t. it was indeed difficult for pei jingzhou to find out about the information she had blocked. however, the reason why madam di xin blocked the information was also a form of protection. if she did not block it, it would be exposed. she could not let those curious people in the outside world guess too much about what li you had experienced back then.. Chapter 394 - Chapter 394: Envious of Pei Jingzhou Having A Son and Daughter chapter 394: envious of pei jingzhou having a son and daughter translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the tea in front of pei jingzhou was already cold. gu lanshi was drinking by himself and had already drunk several cups of hot tea. unknowingly, the two of them had been sitting here for nearly two hours. gu lanshi sipped his tea in satisfaction. he did not have anything urgent to do and did not waste much time. he looked up at pei jingzhou and saw that he had no intention of leaving. he guessed that he had something to talk about. gu lanshi reached out and poured the tea in front of pei jingzhou onto the tea plate. he poured him another cup of hot tea. you dont seem to like the cinnamon that little you likes very much. pei jingzhou retracted his gaze and looked down at the steaming cinnamon tea in front of him. shes been sleeping lightly recently. this tea is refreshing. its not easy to fall asleep at night. it will wake her up. gu lanshi: who drinks tea in the middle of the day and cant sleep at night? thats when one drinks tea at night, okay? however, how could gu lanshi not tell that a certain someone had deliberately said that? gu lanshi clicked his tongue. dont you still have a grudge against me for not being able to defeat me back then? who doesnt know how to provoke? gu lanshi specially picked on pei jingzhous pain. after all, if two men lost a fight, they would grit their teeth at the thought of it for the rest of their lives. although pei jingzhou had just been discharged from the hospital, since he had won, gu lanshi did not care if he had won unfairly. however, it seemed that pei jingzhous reaction when he heard his words was not as gu lanshi had expected. he did not look angry and was even very calm. gu lanshi put down the white porcelain cup in his hand and made a clang. how boring. with that, he was about to get up and leave. pei jingzhou stopped him in a low voice. gu lanshi. gu lanshi stopped in his tracks and said impatiently, pei jingzhou, what else do you want to ask? pei jingzhou looked up. do you know that there was another boy in the incubator back then? gu lanshi was slightly stunned. what do you mean? pei jingzhou said calmly, literally. gu lanshi suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief. are you saying that little you gave birth to twins back then? pei jingzhou leaned back. the smile on his lips showed that he was in a good mood. it seems that you dont know. hah! gu lanshi chuckled and finally understood. so youre here to show off in front of me that you have a son and a daughter now, right? at this moment, not only was pei jingzhou smiling, but the smile in his eyes was also thick. i never said these things. you didnt say! gu lanshi sneered. but your reminder just now was so clear. i couldnt pretend to be confused even if i wanted to. i was indeed very surprised. although i had always been in country t back then, little yous stomach was very big before i realized that she was already pregnant. at that time, she hid it from everyone around her and stayed in a quiet place with her mother. it had been a long time since you came to country t. every time i looked at little yous bulging stomach, i would think that since little you deliberately hid it from you, if only she could keep it from you forever. then, wouldnt i be able to take advantage of the situation and become a father? pei jingzhous eyes turned cold. good thinking. of course. gu lanshi did not take pei jingzhous anger to heart. in any case, i dont mind being a stepfather at all. love me, love my dog. youyou is my biological daughter. look at how beautiful i think. pei jingzhou nudged his cheek with the tip of his tongue. ha. on the other hand, gu lanshi laughed out loud. pei jingzhou had been calm and composed just now. gu lanshi could not tell what pei jingzhou was thinking at all. he could only guess that he had something else to ask. at this moment, pei jingzhous emotions leaked out, and it was obvious at a glance that gu lanshi could not help but laugh. he sat down again and smiled smugly. you can lose your cool sometimes. at this point, gu lanshi paused for a moment and added, little you is indeed your weakness. pei jingzhou, you have to be glad that i dont have absolute bad intentions. if im completely bad, youll have a headache. pei jingzhou casually threw a sentence to gu lanshi. those who provoke me wont have a good ending unless you think you have nine lives to play with. these words were no longer a subtle threat. it was a blatant threat. gu lanshi knew very well that if he forced pei jingzhou into a corner, this was indeed something pei jingzhou could do. after all, how could pei qingjis son be so easily controlled? i was just joking. gu lanshis calm words drowned out what he had just said. then, he asked, back then, after little yous accident, i went to the hospital to take youyou away, but i didnt hear about the existence of the other child. when madam di xin came to me to ask for youyou back, she didnt mention the other child. could it be that that child has been raised by madam di xin? pei jingzhou said, mhm. gu lanshi asked, is the boy an older brother or younger brother? it was rare that the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before. pei jingzhou was not stingy with gu lanshis small questions. eldest son. gu lanshi said angrily, as expected, you have a son and a daughter. pei jingzhou smiled faintly. yes. gu lanshi gritted his teeth. congratulations. pei jingzhous smile deepened. thank you. with that, pei jingzhou raised his hand and pulled open his sleeve to look at his watch. it was getting late. he still had to go to the lu residence. he picked up the white porcelain cup in front of him and drank the warm tea. he put it down and stood up. goodbye. with that, pei jingzhou turned around and left. gu lanshi quietly watched pei jingzhou leave and smiled silently. a son and a daughter he really had a son and a daughter. it would be a lie to say that he did not regret sending youyou back. if he had known that he still had a son, he would have raised youyou alone. it was useless to regret it. gu lanshi could only curse pei jingzhou 10,000 times in his heart. han qianyes flight was at five this morning. she woke up early and did not sleep well on the plane. after landing in the capital, she was extremely sleepy and was brought back to the old residence by pei qingji. she slept until the afternoon. after getting up, han qianye quickly dressed up. when she went out, she was in a hurry. she put on her earrings as she walked. when she passed by the front garden, han qianye stopped and turned to look at the rockery pool beside her. the earrings were already on. han qianye turned around and walked towards the rockery pool. pei jiao, who was sitting beside the rockery pond and fishing contentedly, saw that someone was coming over. it was her mother, and she had no intention of pulling back. she even smiled and greeted, mom, youre awake. han qianye put on the dignity of a mother and said with a straight face, are you rebelling? how dare you fish under my nose? pei jiao straightened her back and smiled. mom, you just dont allow dad to fish because he often stays away for the entire day. you didnt say that im not allowed to fish. besides, my fishing is just a leisurely way for young people to entertain themselves. she was right. at this moment, han qianye was in a hurry to go out and could not be bothered to argue with pei jiao. she turned around and prepared to leave. suddenly thinking of something, han qianye turned to ask pei jiao, are you in contact with that qin kid? Chapter 395 - Chapter 395: So Gentle That One Can ‘t Refuse chapter 395: so gentle that one can t refuse translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jiao was at a loss. mom, who are you talking about? han qianye thought about it seriously and could not remember that persons full name for the time being. i forgot that kids name. didnt i give you his contact on wechat some time ago? anyway, his surname is qin, and hes mo yujins son. qin pei jiao thought about it carefully and roughly remembered who it was. however, she didnt admit that she remembered who it was. she said in a perfunctory tone, i dont remember. ill look through the recent friend addition records later. han qianye said angrily, your memory is bad at such a young age. eat more walnuts to nourish your brain. its fine if youre at home every day, but you only know about makka pakka outside. pei jiao was speechless. seeing that her mother was about to leave in a hurry, pei jiao shouted, mom, where are you going? are you coming back tonight? han qianye said, im going to see my grandson and granddaughter. ill be back later. when the words came, han qianye had already walked far away. uncle dong had to jog to catch up and arrange the car han qianye needed to go out immediately. pei jiao raised her hand to support her chin, savoring her mothers words. grandson? granddaughter? sister-in-law gave birth? no, how long had it been since she last saw her sister-in-law? that slim waist was even thinner than hers. how long had it been since she had a child? it should be someone elses child. buzz buzz buzz. the phone in her pocket vibrated. pei jiao guessed that it was a call from beike. last night, beike had sent her a message saying that there would be a list today. he should be calling to dump the list for her. it seemed that she was not far from the day she would live an early retirement life. just thinking about it made her feel good. she took out her phone and was about to answer beikes call when she looked down. it was not beikes call, but an unfamiliar call from nanzhou. nanzhou, how far away was that it wasnt easy to guess. after hesitating for a moment, pei jiao picked up the phone. hello. a warm voice came on the line. hello, im wei yu. wei yu?!! of course pei jiao remembered the name wei yu. but how did wei yu get her number? and call her? are you pei jiao? just as pei jiao was wondering why wei yu had called her, wei yus question came from the phone. she cleared her throat. ahem, its me. then she asked, um, why did you call me? she wanted to ask him where hed gotten her number, but on second thought, the two of them were engaged as children, and they were both in aristocratic circles. it should be easy for wei yu to get her number. she just didnt know why wei yu had called her. on the phone, wei yu asked her, do you remember me? pei jiao nodded through the phone. i remember. youre wei yu. wei yus voice was as gentle as before. then do you remember that there was a betrothal between us? pei jiao wondered if there was going to be a marriage alliance when wei yu suddenly called her to mention the betrothal. so soon? she had yet to live a retirement life. if she got married, wouldnt she have no freedom? just as pei jiao was feeling all sorts of worries, wei yu on the other end of the line said, are you at home tomorrow? i want to visit the pei residence. pei jiao gestured with the tip of her nose. visit our house? wei yu: yes, do you think tomorrow will be okay? if so, ill tell uncle pei. pei jiao changed the topic and asked, you just returned to the country, right? wei yu: yes. pei jiao smiled and said, look, you just returned to the country. your old friends should be waiting to meet you she wasnt finished, but the meaning to be expressed was more obvious, when wei yu said, is tomorrow inappropriate? his voice was just too gentle. it was hard to refuse. the new list that beike had mentioned would be completed tonight. she was indeed at home tomorrow, so it was really not easy to refuse. this time, pei jiao did not hesitate and replied, yes, its appropriate. ill be at home tomorrow. wei yu smiled gently. okay, ill come over tomorrow. after the call ended, pei jiaos mind was filled with that gentle voice. it was no wonder that she was impressed. it was mainly because her brother was cold and her brother was noisy. the friends she knew were either unrestrained or unruly. and wei yu was something that had happened when she was a child. unexpectedly, after decades of not seeing each other, wei yu had become her ideal type just by relying on his voice. the cell phone vibrated in her hand again. this time, it was beike. pei jiao picked it up. when beike heard this, goosebumps rose all over his body. did you take the wrong medicine? pei jiaos expression instantly darkened, and her voice returned to normal. youre the one who took the wrong medicine! beike asked, then why was your tone strange just now? pei jiao was overjoyed and unaware. how is it strange? beike: damn coquettish. pei jiao: beikes call was indeed to dump the list, but pei jiao did not remember what list beike had dumped for her until the call ended. her mind was filled with the gentle voice of wei yu. she realized belatedly that she was infatuated! she told herself that a gentle voice was secondary. she had to look at his appearance. if his voice was gentle alone, what if wei yus food had been too good all these years and he became a fatty? shell think about it tomorrow. at this moment, pei jiao did not know what would happen tomorrow. it might even change the choice she would make in her life. on the lu familys side. ever since the appearance of the psychotherapist, yaoyao had been very resistant to meeting the psychotherapist, let alone communicating with him. he hid in his room and did not even see li xiwu. although this situation was troublesome, the psychotherapist had his own way. at this moment, dr. xu had already communicated with li xiwu and chose to use the aromatherapy on yaoyao. li xiwu didnt know much about aromatherapy, but she was concerned about yaoyao, so she still asked carefully about the effects of aromatherapy. dr. xu answered her, mrs. pei, aromatherapy can be inhaled through the sense of smell and enter the cerebral cortex and peripheral system, thereby improving the patients nervous system and reducing the extreme reaction to sensory stimulation in autistic patients. it can allow the patient to relax and calm down before slowly undergoing speech training. although li xiwu did not understand psychology, dr. xus words were easy to understand. she nodded. then lets begin. the aromatherapy could indeed be very effective on yaoyao. compared to the resistance he had when he first met dr. xu, after the fragrance was inhaled into the cerebral cortex, yaoyaos emotions were clearly much calmer. after yaoyao calmed down, li xiwu needed to go out, but yaoyao refused to let go of the corner of her shirt. seeing this, dr. xu turned to li xiwu and said, he depends on you. li xiwu was slightly stunned. she knew that yaoyao liked her. however, she did not know that yaoyao relied on her. as yaoyao had never expressed it, li xiwu did not feel it. dr. xu added, in this situation, patients mainly express themselves from the bottom of their hearts.. Chapter 396 - Chapter 396: Being Followed chapter 396: being followed translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu understood what dr. xu meant. in other words, whatever yaoyao was not good at expressing or what he really wanted to do, at this moment, he would bravely do it and say it. li xiwu leaned over slightly and asked yaoyao, do you not want me to leave? yaoyao replied, wim. dr. xu said, he expressed his true thoughts to you and dared to say them. li xiwu smiled knowingly and held yaoyaos hand. im not leaving. ill stay here with you. yaoyaos lips curved, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. seeing the smile on yaoyaos face, li xiwu realized that yaoyao had dimples like youyou. to be exact, his dimples are at the bottom of his mouth. he had to grin to notice the dimples. previously, she did not realize, so there was no comparison. after comparing, she realized that other than their looks, the siblings were much similar. next, dr. xu began his treatment. two hours passed and finally yaoyao fell asleep. dr. xu exhaled and whispered to li xiwu, mrs. pei, the treatment on the first day was very successful. li xiwu had accompanied yaovao the entire time, so she could naturally tell that todays treatment was very successful. especially with the help of the fragrance, yaoyaos current state was equivalent to recalibrating. the subsequent speech training was also very smooth. she said sincerely to dr. xu, thank you, dr. xu. dr. xu quickly said, this is my job. afraid that they would disturb yaoyaos peaceful sleep, li xiwu and dr. xu came out first. after closing the door, dr. xu continued, coupled with the aromatherapy, the initial effect is very good for the patient. however, we cant use this method all the time. without waiting for li xiwu to ask, dr. xu continued, the treatment method after that will gradually progress to aba training. ill tell you and mr. pei in detail after this training. li xiwu nodded and asked, how long will that take? this time, dr. xu did not give a definite answer. instead, he hesitated for a moment before saying, we cant estimate it with the minimum number of days yet. well have to see the effect next week. li xiwu understood what dr. xu meant. i understand. ill cooperate fully with your psychological treatment of yaoyao. after doctor xu left, the smile on li xiwus face increased. yaoyaos condition was improving, and as the treatment progressed, it would completely improve. how could she not be happy? boyuan looked at the smile on li xiwus face and walked over. the psychotherapist that mr. pei contacted is really good. the one overseas really cant do it. li xiwu asked, did madam di xin arrange a psychotherapist for yaoyao when she was in country t? boyuan replied, the psychotherapist never interfere in the past. just some time ago, when yaoyao was sent to the capital, his condition was really bad. he didnt eat and even fell seriously ill boyuan quickly stopped talking. she turned to look at li xiwu and blamed herself. look at me. i spoke too quickly. i didnt realize that saying this would make you feel uncomfortable. li xiwu shook her head. its fine. continue. i also want to know what happened to yaoyao some time ago. boyuan hesitated. li xiwu said, im really fine. tell me. seeing that li xiwu really wanted to hear it. boyuan continued. a while ago. after yaoyao returned to country t from the capital, his condition was still a little better at first. i heard that after watching the variety show you went on, his emotional state completely collapsed. my mother was too worried. she took care of yaoyao for a few days and exhausted her body. my brothers heart ached when he saw yaoyao. he was afraid that his body would not be able to take it if yaoyao continued in this state, so he arranged for a psychotherapist. this psychotherapist used medicine to interfere from the beginning, causing yaoyao, whose stomach was already weak, to vomit and have diarrhea. after my brother discussed it with my mother, my brother hurriedly sent yaoyao to the capital. with every word, boyuan would sneak a look at li xiwus expression. she was afraid that she would break down. fortunately, li xiwu had been quite calm and composed. li xiwu understood the reason and took a deep breath. yaoyao was waiting for me to pick him up in country t, but when he saw that i was still happily participating in the show on television, he was disappointed in me. boyuan comforted her. you didnt know at that time, did you? but this will never happen again. you and mr. pei will always be by yaoyaos side. li xiwu nodded. yes, i will. before three oclock, pei jingzhou came to the lu residence to guard the unconscious yaoyao. he did not mention to li xiwu about his meeting with gu lanshi today. after that, li xiwu and boyuan went to shuoguo kindergarten to pick up little jingzhe and youyou from school. on the way, li xiwu and boyuan chatted. neither of them noticed that a car had been following them. until li xiwu received a call from han qianye xixi) are you home? li xiwu guessed that han qianye must have returned. she did not ask immediately and answered han qianyes question first. auntie, im not at home now. ill go back later. han qianye asked, then are you in the company? li xiwu said, no, i took leave. han qianye asked again, are you going home tonight? yes, but it might be a little late. auntie, are you and uncle back? after answering, sne asked. han qianye slept until the afternoon. she rushed to lake lu and learned that there was no one at home. then, she rushed to hua guan media and learned that li xiwu had applied for leave. every time she was left out in the cold, han qianye was not discouraged. she quickly called li xiwu again. after knowing that li xiwu would only return at night, han qianye was a little disappointed. she replied, yes, i came back this morning and slept. unexpectedly, i slept until the afternoon. li xiwu smiled faintly. did auntie have a good time overseas? han qianye immediately said, you know that im overseas? i know, li xiwu said. i heard from fourth brother that you and uncle went to malaysia. no, i didnt go to malaysia. han qianye told li xiwu the truth. xixi, i went to country t. i went to see madam di xin. hearing this, li xiwu lowered her eyes and remained silent. it was unclear on the phone. han qianye was afraid that she would disturb li xiwu if she spoke for too long. since youre back tonight, come back tonight. i have something to tell you. li xiwu agreed. okay. after ending the call, li xiwu held her cell phone and her eyes lost focus for a moment. boyuan, who was beside her, could tell that there was something wrong with her expression. she asked with concern, i saw that your expression was a little strange after you answered the call. did something happen? li xiwu looked up and shook her head. nothing. by the way, i realized that you seemed to call mrs. pei mom on the show. why do you call her auntie in reality? no one could be blamed for conspiracy theories. after all, li xiwu and pei jingzhou were so loving and had a good relationship with her mother-in-law on the show. however, she called her auntie so distantly in private. boyuan couldnt help but think more. is it true that mrs. pei didnt accept you at all? is everything on the show for the audience? li xiwu shook her head. no, im not used to calling her mom. boyuan restrained her voice and whispered, is it because of your mother? li xiwu smiled faintly and was about to answer when the driver in front lowered his voice and reminded her, mrs. lu, mrs. pei, theres a car following us.. Chapter 397 - Chapter 397: Malicious chapter 397: malicious translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations just now, on the topic of raising children, boyuan had taught li xiwu many useful insights. the two of them chatted happily, so they did not notice that a car had been following them. the chauffeur had noticed the car behind a few minutes ago, but there was a lot of traffic at this time. he was not sure if the car was following them, so he observed it from time to time. after getting off the highway, the chauffeur realized that the car behind was still following. he began to be vigilant. old zhao, change the route to the kindergarten. find a suitable place to park first. boyuan did not panic at all. instead, she calmly reminded the chauffeur to find a place to park. the chauffeur replied, okay. li xiwu lowered the window on her right. she could see the car behind her in the external rearview mirror, but she couldnt see the complete front of the car or the license plate number. and she couldnt see the driver from this angle. li xiwu turned around and asked, boyuan, can you see if the driver is a male or female chauffeur? boyuan also lowered the window and looked through the outer rearview mirror on the left. then she shook her head. i couldnt tell. that person is wearing a hat and mask and a black shirt. li xiwu continued to ask, based on the skeleton alone, is it slender or slightly thick? boyuan looked at it again seriously and replied, slightly slender. with that, boyuan turned to look at li xiwu. could it be an acquaintance? li xiwu also looked sideways at boyuan. im not sure. lets stop the car first and see if that car still follows. boyuan nodded. thats what i thought. the chauffeur found a suitable spot to stop the car. the car behind slowed down after following him off the highway and maintained a distance from the car. after the chauffeur stopped the car, the car did not drive away. instead, it stopped by the roadside, only about ten meters away. the chauffeur was alarmed. that car pulled over too. its just behind us. boyuan frowned. what does this person want? li xiwu raised her hand to open the door. seeing this, boyuan suddenly reached out and grabbed li xiwus hand. li you, dont get out of the car yet. li xiwu said, ill go down and take a look. no, no, boyuan said worriedly. the other party is obviously following the car. his identity is unknown, and we dont know why hes here. what if hes an evil person! boyuans worry was not unreasonable, and li xiwu understood. however, she pulled back from opening the door and raised her hand to point at the tall building outside. this place is in the business circle. there are many people coming and going outside. even if the other party isnt a good person, they shouldnt do anything in public. boyuan shook her head. what you said makes sense, but im still worried. ill accompany you down. by the way, call old zhao along. and boyuan held li xiwu with one hand, afraid that she would get out of the car just like that. she took out her phone from her coat pocket with the other. ill call lu jia and tell him about the current situation. li xiwu couldnt dissuade boyuan. she smiled and replied, okay. when boyuan called lu jia, li xiwu kept an eye on the car behind her. it did not drive away, and no one got out. she felt that it might be an acquaintance, but she could not guess who was following so blatantly. as for why she was so sure that it had something to do with her, it was because before this, boyuans life was peaceful. it should have nothing to do with boyuan. boyuan hung up the phone with mr. lu. ive told lu jia. lets go. li xiwu nodded and casually took out a mask from her bag and put it on. after getting out of the car, li xiwu walked straight to the car. she walked too quickly, and boyuan grabbed her wrist. li you, dont be anxious. li xiwu gave boyuan a reassuring look, then walked to the drivers seat with slightly faster steps. she raised her hand and knocked on the window gently. after a moment, the window lowered. although the person in the car was wearing a hat and mask, he was not wearing sunglasses to cover the eyes. just by looking at each other, li xiwu recognized who they were. the person in the car looked up and smiled at li xiwu. where are you going? ill drive you. yu hewei. li xiwu called her name accurately. in the car, yu hewei took off her mask. you recognized me with just your eyes? li xiwu asked, whats the matter? yu hewei said, you havent answered me yet. did you recognize me with just my eyes? li xiwu said, yes. yu heweis smile deepened. im glad to hear you say that. li xiwu didnt have time to chat with yu hewei. she just wanted to confirm who was following her. now that she saw that it was yu hewei, she wasnt nervous. instead) she was more relaxed than before. at least, it was someone familiar. boyuan, who was behind her, looked over. its yu hewei? yu heweis gaze swept past li xiwu and looked at boyuan behind her. they looked at each other for a moment before yu hewei raised her hand and waved. miss sharasin, were old acquaintances. its been a long time. boyuan took a step forward. so its really an acquaintance. yu hewei said, it shouldnt be just an acquaintance. our relationship in country t back then wasnt shallow. when boyuan heard this, she deliberately made an expression that she couldnt remember. is that so? why dont i remember our friendship back then? because of boyuans words, the smile on yu heweis face faded a little. its fine if you dont remember it. im indeed not worthy of the famous sharasin family in chunwu. boyuan raised her hand to touch the tip of her nose and said seriously, indeed. yu hewei: if it were before, boyuan would not be hostile to yu hewei. however, boyuan followed the subsequent live-streams of mother-in-law joys variety show, especially the last episode. she saw that yu hewei was also on that variety show. after watching the entire live-stream, yu heweis performance on the show disgusted boyuan. li you had experienced so many upsetting things, so why did yu hewei insist that li you remember? she even induced her in every way and set a word trap for li xiwu. it was also that time that made boyuan dislike yu hewei. seeing her again today, she naturally did not treat yu hewei well. yu hewei was not blind. she could tell that boyuan did not like her. she turned to look at li xiwu. where are you going? li xiwu had just raised her hand to look at her watch. it was very close to three oclock, but even though she was in a hurry, her tone to yu hewei was still very gentle. its not convenient to say more. if you have nothing else to say, ill leave first. just as she finished speaking, boyuan had already pulled li xiwus wrist. lets go. otherwise, we wont have time. yu hewei did not stop her. she stuck her head out of the car window and looked at li xiwus back. arent you afraid that ill continue to follow you if you dont tell me where youre going? li xiwu stopped short. boyuan turned around and raised her cell phone. then ill call the police now and tell the police that someone is following us with ill intentions. yu hewei lowered her voice. miss sharasin, im not talking to you.. Chapter 398 - Chapter 398: I Want to See You chapter 398: i want to see you translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations boyuan was unyielding. you didnt talk to me, but if i heard you, i had the right to answer. after all, my mouth is on me. what reason do you have to control me? besides, im called a righteous man, understand? boyuan was best at arguing and had never lost. li xiwu pulled boyuan back. alright, theres no need to say too much. were in a hurry. boyuan was furious. but she li xiwu said, im not familiar with her. hearing li xiwus words, boyuan suddenly smiled and turned to look at yu hewei. did you hear that? shes not familiar with you. why are you following us? if you follow me again, ill call the police immediately. with that, boyuan pulled li xiwu into the car and left. yu hewei looked at the back of the car and smiled. then, she took out her phone and opened li xiwus wechat. she found a recent photo in the photo album and sent it. then typed: [is this the daughter you had with him?] after li xiwu got into the car with boyuan, she was still calm. she did not feel the threat yu hewei posed to her. on the other hand, boyuan rambled, my mother has a better relationship with yu hewei because yu hewei used to be your friend. my mother will look at her differently. i didnt have much interaction with yu hewei in the past. the few times i met her was when i saw you. she was by your side. i dont think she knows about your pregnancy, does she? li xiwu shook her head. she doesnt know. this was because gu lanshi had mentioned to her that yu hewei had never seen her when she was pregnant. with madam di xin as a cover, not to mention yu hewei, gu lanshi only found out about li xiwus pregnancy when she was five months pregnant. boyuan said, its best if she doesnt know. i keep feeling that shes a little strange. just last time, yu hewei participated in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show that you and mrs. pei recorded. i wasnt surprised to see her. the audience thought that she was honest, but i thought that she had ill intentions. li xiwu did not reply, looking thoughtful. boyuan turned to look at li xiwu and asked, did you notice it on the show? li xiwu came back to her senses and nodded. i sensed it. she wanted me to regain my memories and think of her. why must you think of her? did she think shes important? boyuan complained. just as she finished complaining, li xiwus phone beeped. li xiwu took out her phone. seeing this, boyuan consciously looked away and did not spy on li xiwus private message. li xiwu opened wechat. when she saw the wechat photo yu hewei had sent, her pupils constricted. she gripped her cell phone tightly to prevent her emotions from being disturbed by yu heweis words. after quickly calming down, li xiwu typed: [what exactly are you trying to say?] she waited a moment in silence. the prompt came again. it was a message from yu hewei. [i want to see you. get out.] stop the car! li xiwu suddenly said. the chauffeur slowed down and found a suitable spot to pull over. seeing this, boyuan asked worriedly, whats wrong? li xiwu put away her cell phone and turned to boyuan. i have something to do. im afraid ill have to trouble you to pick youyou up today. help me tell youyou that im sorry i couldnt pick her up today. ill make a grapefruit cake to apologize to her tonight. alright, ill tell youyou what you said. that grapefruit cake makes me crave it. boyuan smiled. she had probably guessed why li xiwu suddenly wanted to get out of the car, but she didnt ask. she only said, then come back early. ill prepare the ingredients for the cake and learn from you. li xiwu smiled faintly and replied, okay. after li xiwu got out of the car, boyuan lowered the window and reminded her worriedly. then, the car drove away and rushed to the kindergarten to pick up youyou and little jingzhe. li xiwu waited where she was for about three minutes before a black car slowly drove over and stopped in front of her. the car window rolled down, revealing yu heweis face. her lips curled. get in. without a word, li xiwu walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and got in. compared to the casual smile on yu heweis face, li xiwus expression looked a little cold. it was difficult to ignore such an expression. yu hewei was in no hurry to start the car. she rested her elbows on the steering wheel and looked at the cold-faced li xiwu calmly. dont be unhappy. i just want to chat with you. i dont have any other thoughts. li xiwu looked sideways at yu hewei. if you want to chat with me, you can start. yu hewei asked, why did you and pei jingzhou have a daughter for no reason? instead of answering, li xiwu asked) when did you secretly take that photo? the photo was of her and youyou interacting. it had been secretly taken by yu hewei. two days ago, i wanted to go to your company to look for you and recommend myself oh no, i recommend that i debut. i wanted to let you see if i was suitable to be your artist, but you werent in the company. i still didnt see you the next day. as she spoke, yu hewers tone became even more curious. i was wondering what you were doing, so i found an opportunity to follow you. in the end, i saw a very interesting scene. you actually brought a little girl along, and that little girl even called you mom? li xiwu said frankly, her name is youyou. shes my daughter. yu hewei said, she looks to be three or four years old. was she born in the capital three years ago, or in country t four years ago? li xiwu said, country t. yu hewei thought quickly. the months you were with your mother for chemo? li xiwu looked up at yu hewei. yu hewei could tell from li xiwus expression. looks like i was right. li xiwu said, did you ask me to meet to ask this? more than that. im tired of working and dont want to return to hai city for the time being. i want to continue developing in the capital. after thinking about it, ive decided to debut as an actress. as she spoke, yu hewei leaned over and looked at li xiwus side profile with sparkling eyes. are you willing to sign me and promote my debut? li xiwu smiled. youre suitable to debut. your face is your capital, but i cant take you on. you rejected me so quickly? yu hewei sighed. li xiwu didnt want to talk to yu hewei about such boring things. she returned to the main topic and said to yu hewei seriously, i know you dont have any ill intentions. you want to see me, so i came. ive answered everything you want to ask. im willing to believe what you said before. we were very good friends. perhaps you were by my side for a long time. our friendship is even more precious than i imagined. ive already made preparations to recover my memories. ill remember everything about the past and you. these words probably touched yu heweis heart. she looked very moved. her eyes were lowered and her eyelashes fluttered.. do you know what im feeling now? Chapter 399 - Chapter 399: Choose to Let Go chapter 399: choose to let go translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations li xiwu asked, what feelings? yu hewei said bluntly, jealousy. li xiwu pursed her lips and did not say anything else. yu hewei raised her eyes again and looked straight at li xiwus face. she said seriously, im very jealous. in the past few years in the capital, youve had better friends. before you recover your memories, you and boyuan can still be good friends. what about me? li xiwu said frankly, youre very selfish. yu hewei sneered. selfish? li xiwu took a deep breath. in fact, a large part of the reason why gu lanshi wanted me to regain my memories was because youyou was with him. he wanted me to remember that i had a daughter. and you wanted me to regain my memories just because i had forgotten about you. although i havent even remembered my past, i also know that it was tragic. isnt it selfish for you to ignore my feelings? li xiwu knew that she should not have said these words to yu hewei. however, yu heweis words just now prompted li xiwu to say these words. yu hewei said, then youre not going to regain your memory? i just said that im making preparations. ill remember the past, li xiwu said. yu hewei looked at li xiwu deeply. if you remember, remember to contact me so that i can let go. li xiwu replied, okay. yu hewei looked away and whispered, were you worried that i would threaten you with your daughter when i found out? i thought so when i saw your wechat message. after all, i keep feeling that our magnetic fields dont match. but after standing by the roadside and waiting for you for a few minutes, i sobered up a little in the cold wind. you wouldnt have done that. you just wanted to see me. but you know that because of previous reasons, i didnt want to have anything to do with you, so you used my daughter to let me see you. yu hewei mocked herself. you seem to know what im thinking. i dont know. li xiwu smiled faintly. im just guessing. yu hewei heaved a sigh of relief, her expression stronger than before. youre right. i just want to see you. im a very stubborn person. whether its knowing that youve passed away or seeing you again later, you treat me as a stranger. ive never been able to let go of it. when you remember, i might be able to let the car didnt follow the original route. yu hewei adjusted the gps and sent li xiwu to the lu residence before li xiwu got out of the car, yu hewei asked, can i be there on the day youre prepared to recover your memories? li xiwu replied, sure. perhaps because li xiwu agreed too quickly, yu hewei was a little stunned. then, she repeated, can i really be present? li xiwu smiled faintly. i have to let you get over it, right? seeing the smile on li xiwus face, yu hewei was in a daze. she stared at li xiwus profile for a moment before saying, do you know that my feelings for you have always been impure? she wanted to see a shocked expression on li xiwus face. however, when li xiwu heard her words, her face was expressionless. she only replied, i know. no, no. yu hewei shook her head gently and sighed. you dont know. how can you know? even if you recover your memories, you wont know. li xiwu glanced sideways at yu hewei and said calmly, i just found out. yu hewei was stunned for a few seconds before asking, another guess? li xiwu smiled. when you said you wanted to let go, i remembered some details from our previous contact and suddenly realized. yu hewei asked her, then will you hate me? li xiwus tone was neither fast nor slow, inexplicably calming yu heweis emotions. the new ideas that belong to modern people also represent an equal perspective. i wont hate it, but i wont accept it. but were still friends.. Chapter 400 - Chapter 400: Father and Son, And Enemies chapter 400: father and son, and enemies translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations there was no need to say anything else. li xiwu pushed open the car door and got out. just as she was about to close the car door, yu hewei stopped her. li you. li xiwu paused in the act of closing the car door. yu hewei said, dont you have anything else to say to me other than what you just said? li xiwu glanced at yu hewei. what do you want me to say? yu hewei said calmly, anything is fine. as long as you say it, i will cherish it. li xiwu pursed her lips. after staring at yu hewei for a moment, she said, if happiness is too difficult, then i wish you peace. yu hewei said, thank you. li xiwu smiled faintly and did not say anything else. she closed the car door and turned to enter. yu hewei stared at li xiwus back for a long time. it was only when she could not see her back that she slowly retracted her gaze. a smile appeared on her lips and she murmured, its indeed the best blessing. boyuan opened the door and saw that li xiwu had returned. she quickly pulled li xiwu in. youre finally back. i was so worried. im sorry for making you worry. li xiwu felt a little guilty. its fine. its good that youre back. boyuan smiled. li xiwu nodded and asked, youyou didnt make a fuss, did she? youyou has a super good personality and doesnt know how to make a fuss. boyuans tone was light. im familiar with the teacher. the teacher agreed to let me pick youyou up. although youyou looked a little lonely when she saw that i was the one who picked her up, after i told her the reason why you couldnt pick her up, her expression immediately changed. she was very easy to coax. hearing boyuans words, li xiwu felt a little more at ease. they had only been together for a short time and she had yet to completely understand her daughters personality. she could not help but be a little worried that youyou would make a fuss when she go back on her word. boyuan said that youyou and little jingzhe were in the childrens room. li xiwu glanced in that direction. wait for her and little jingzhe to play for a while more. ill go see if yaoyao is awake. boyuan said, yaoyao is already awake. mr. pei is inside with him. go take a look. ill wait for you in the kitchen. li xiwu nodded. mm. when she reached the guest bedroom door, li xiwu gently pushed the door open and entered. she thought that she would see a very warm scene when she came in, but what she saw was a confrontation between an adult and a child. yaoyaos face was tense, as if he was holding on to something. pei jingzhous expression was calm as he watched how long his son could last. li xiwu walked over and asked, what are you two doing? the father and son turned around at the same time. the next second, yaoyao ran towards li xiwu without hesitation. however, before he could take two steps, pei jingzhou grabbed his collar. why are you running? do you want to complain? when li xiwu heard the word complain, she asked pei jingzhou, did you deal with him? not yet, but if he continues to be so stubborn, he probably wont be able to escape this beating. although he said that, pei jingzhous arm that was holding yaoyaos collar was not stable. he was afraid of strangling yaoyaos neck. as yaoyao leaned forward, his arm moved forward. li xiwu met yaoyaos aggrieved gaze and her heart softened. she quickly called out to pei jingzhou, let go first. pei jingzhou let go and ran behind li xiwu with yaoyao. li xiwu asked gently, what do you want yaoyao to do? is he unwilling? pei jingzhou slowly stood up. take a shower. li xiwu was surprised. yaoyao isnt willing to shower? pei jingzhou said, this kid doesnt want me to bathe him. i see. li xiwu couldnt help but laugh. yaoyao is shy to begin with. of course he wont be willing if you forcefully bathe him. pei jingzhou looked up at li xiwu. this glance clearly did not convey anything, but the smile on li xiwus lips immediately disappeared. she coughed lightly and her expression became unnatural. pei jingzhou asked, arent you going to tell me? li xiwu understood that it was impossible to pretend to be confused at this time. pei jingzhou clearly knew that she had gone to see yu hewei. she did not tell pei jingzhou in advance. it must have been boyuan who told him that pei jingzhou knew about this. li xiwu chose to be honest. yu hewei and i were once good friends. im sorry for forgetting her. we sat down quietly and spoke frankly to each other. after that, she sent me back. she couldnt say anything about yu heweis feelings for her for the time being. it was quite ridiculous. she couldnt say it in front of pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou did not ask what li xiwu and yu hewei had talked about. he only said, let me know in advance the next time you see her. okay. li xiwu nodded with a smile. she turned to hold yaoyaos hand. by the way, why are you suddenly bathing yaoyao? pei jingzhous thin lips curled up. its rare for this kid to have a peaceful sleep today. its so peaceful that hes dreaming hmph! before pei jingzhou could finish speaking, yaoyao pulled a long face and snorted angrily. this snort was a reminder to pei jingzhoustop talking! leave me some dignity! pei jingzhou stopped mid-sentence. he noticed that yaoyaos expression was very lively. it was something that usually did not happen and could not appear vividly. pei jingzhou saw it all, so he said, he was hot from sleeping, and sweated a little. is that so? li xiwu pulled yaoyao closer. let me see? yaoyao avoided it and shook his head. no, no. at this moment, pei jingzhou reached out to yaoyao. come here, yaoyao. yaoyao looked at li xiwu with pitiful eyes. li xiwu wanted to help, but boyuan was still waiting for her in the kitchen. the sooner she finished making the cake, the sooner she could go back. auntie was coming tonight. in order not to waste time, li xiwu squatted down and coaxed yaoyao. im not watching anymore. go take a shower first. your body will only feel refreshed after taking a shower. go take a shower obediently. theres cake to eat after taking a shower. do you want to eat it? yaoyao nodded. yes. li xiwu smiled. alright, go take a shower with daddy with him now. i guarantee that when you come out of the shower, youll be able to eat delicious cake yaoyao nodded obediently. mm. li xiwu was a little surprised that yaoyao was so easy to communicate with. could it be the obvious effect after treatment? at this moment, yaoyao was so easy to communicate and cooperate with. li xiwu couldnt help but want to kiss him. however, before kissing him, she still asked politely, can i kiss you yaovao hesitated. then shook his head. li xiwu was not surprised to be rejected. she reached out and gently stroked yaoyaos hair. afraid that boyuan would wait for her for too long, she stood up. ill go out first. remember to come out of the shower and eat cake. yaoyaos lips curved a little. he was smiling, but his smile was very restrained and didnt look too obvious. after li xiwu left, yaoyao turned around and looked up at pei jingzhou. the smile on his lips disappeared completely when he looked at pei jingzhou for a few seconds. in the end, he walked up to pei jingzhou as if he had accepted his fate. he lowered his head and looked at the ground. thank thank you. pei jingzhou said, if you want to thank me, you have to look at me. yaoyao looked up at pei jingzhou again. thank you. although he said thank you, it was obvious from his tense little face that he was still unconvinced. pei jingzhou squatted down on one leg and looked at yaoyaos unconvinced expression. he suppressed a smile and said, you were too soft. i didnt hear you clearly. yaoyaos muffled voice said, im going to tell her you have bad ears.. Chapter 401 - Chapter 401: Talking With His Son chapter 401: talking with his son translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jingzhou chuckled. my ears arent good? yaoyao was very reasonable. i clearly said thank you twice, but you still cant hear me clearly. its not that i cant hear you clearly. i just hope you can say it again and express it boldly, pei jingzhou explained. yaoyao stubbornly thought that it was what he thought. its clearly your ears that are bad. pei jingzhou: the father and son looked at each other quietly for a moment. pei jingzhou said, im guessing that you dont really want to eat the cake. then go and fill the bathtub yourself. with that, he was about to get up when yaoyao reached out and grabbed a small part of pei jingzhous sleeve. pei jingzhou looked down at the small hand stubbornly tugging at his sleeve. werent you quite unreasonable just now? yaoyao put on a serious expression. ive thought about it carefully. cake is still more important. pei jingzhou raised his chin and suppressed a smile. to bow just for a cake? yaoyao didnt know that many words. whats a bow? pei jingzhou explained, it means to admit defeat. yaoyao said in a muffled voice, then i admit defeat. help me shower. pei jingzhou said, i was willing to help you shower just now, but im not willing now. yaoyaos eyes widened in disbelief. this expression was extremely vivid. pei jingzhou was very satisfied. the more vivid the expression, the better. he continued, of course, i am not completely unwilling to help. lets make a deal. if you do it, ill help you shower. yaoyao looked disappointed, but even so, he still answered pei jingzhous questions. go ahead. pei jingzhou took the opportunity to suggest, call me daddy and ill help you. yaoyaos eyes widened again, his small expression filled with disbelief. probably no one he had ever met had made such a request of him. pei jingzhou smiled and asked, are you unwilling? yaoyao asked pei jingzhou seriously, why do i have to call you daddy? arent you youyous father? pei jingzhou pursed his lips and did not answer immediately. its youyous father, and its also your father. but he knew that yaoyao wouldnt believe him if he said it directly, and the shackles in yaoyaos heart needed to be unlocked bit by bit. just take it that im joking with you, pei jingzhou said calmly. yaoyao said, its not funny. pei jingzhous smile faded. yaoyao said, its not funny, is it, daddy? pei jingzhous heart skipped a beat, and the faint smile on his lips curled up again. he reached out and pulled yaoyao in front of him, wanting to carry him. lets go take a shower. yaoyao shook his head in resistance. no. yaoyao lowered his head in embarrassment. my pants are wet. it doesnt matter. pei jingzhou picked up yaoyao and walked into the bathroom in the guest bedroom. yaoyao lay in pei jingzhous arms and hugged his neck with both hands, rubbing against him. pei jingzhou naturally sensed that he was in a good mood. there was plenty of room in the bathroom. after pei jingzhou put yaoyao down, he went to the bathtub to fill the water. yaoyao took off his clothes. his movements were not very agile, even a little clumsy and slow, but they were methodical. when the sweater and flannel pants on his body were removed, the ribs above yaoyaos lower abdomen were obvious, and the shoulder blades above his back were even more obvious. when pei jingzhou noticed this, his expression changed slightly. when the water temperature was suitable, pei jingzhou carried yaoyao over and let him test the water temperature again. after confirming that the water temperature was suitable, he placed him in the bathtub. the first time he bathed a child, pei jingzhou was quite attentive. although youyou had been brought home, she was already more than four years old. even though pei jingzhou was a father, it was still a little inappropriate. the shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom in the guest bedroom were not unwrapped. pei jingzhou took the shower gel and opened it. he squeezed it out, lathered it, and applied it to yaoyao. he was not very skilled, but pei jingzhou had tried his best to be gentle. yaoyao said, i can wash it myself. pei jingzhou retracted his hand. go ahead. the father and son did not say anything. yaoyao took a shower seriously. pei jingzhou stood guard at the side, afraid that yaoyao would fall into the bathtub and drown. the atmosphere was appropriately warm. pei jingzhou suddenly asked, are you unhappy in country t? yaoyao looked up at pei jingzhou and blinked his beautiful eyes. pei jingzhou asked again, answer me. are you unhappy in country t? yaoyao rubbed the bubbles in his palms. im happy. pei jingzhou stopped asking about this topic and changed the topic. there are two of us here. about you wetting the bed when yaoyao heard about wetting the bed, his eyes widened again, and he looked very anxious. pei jingzhou raised his hand to his forehead and laughed. the first sentence of that sentence was that there are two of us here, so no one else will know. yaoyaos voice was muffled. stop talking. pei jingzhou asked a fatal question. what about the wet bed sheets? yaoyao looked like he was about to cry. think of something. pei jingzhou nodded. i can think of a way for you, but you have to answer my next question. yaoyao nodded. okay. it was a rare opportunity to coax yaoyao and say a few more words. pei jingzhou naturally had to seize it. he asked, youre embarrassed about wetting the bed, arent you? yaoyao said, mm. pei jingzhou asked, have you wet your bed before? yaoyao shook his head. no. pei jingzhou smiled and asked, did you look for the bathroom in your dream? hearing this, yaoyao suddenly looked at pei jingzhou in surprise. this expression was indeed too shocked. although he did not ask, his expression silently expressed: how did you know? pei jingzhou raised his eyebrows. remember, dont trust any bathroom you find in your dreams in the future. yaoyao didnt quite understand. why? how could he explain it? pei jingzhou did not know how to explain so yaoyao immediately understood. after some thought) he said, just remember this. yaoyao nodded obediently. ill remember. pei jingzhou continued to ask, do you hate the doctor today? i hated it at first, but i stopped hating it later. yaoyao spoke his true thoughts. pei jingzhou said, hell come again tomorrow. yaoyao didnt react. it was obvious that he did not reject him. if he did, the subtle expression on his face would not escape pei jingzhous eyes. pei jingzhou asked again, then do you like the capital? yaoyao continued to rub the bubble in his hand. he did not think about this question for long and quickly answered pei jingzhou, i like it. pei jingzhous expression softened. you really like it? yaoyao nodded. yes. after receiving yaoyaos affirmative answer, pei jingzhou felt a little more at ease. then youll always live in the capital. yaoyao asked, always? Chapter 402 - Chapter 402: Yaoyao’s Thoughts chapter 402: yaoyaos thoughts translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations yes, always, pei jingzhou said. yaoyaos lips twitched as if he wanted to say something. pei jingzhou naturally noticed yaoyaos reaction and asked, what are you trying to say? yaoyao pouted and said seriously, but my home isnt here. pei jingzhou told yaoyao firmly, itll always be here. yaoyao did not seem to understand this sentence very well. he thought that he would return to the place where grandma was soon. he would accompany grandma every day, sometimes enter and leave the magnificent palace, and sometimes stay in the quiet residence. day after day, he would live that life. he was used to it. but at this moment, after yaoyao heard pei jingzhous words, a trace of hope uncontrollably ignited in his seemingly calm heart. if only he could really stay here forever. he could see her every day. he could also see yaoyao looked up at pei jingzhou and said, you. pei jingzhou did not know what yaoyao was thinking. i what? yaoyao shook his head and didnt say anything else. he focused on showering. when he was almost done washing, pei jingzhou went outside and found a set of yaoyaos clothes. he picked yaoyao up from the water and rinsed the foam off his body under the showerhead. he dried him and put on clean clothes. then, pei jingzhou personally went to clean up the bedsheets that yaoyao had wet. although yaoyao had found the bathroom in his dream, he woke up in time. only a small ball of wetness was printed on the bed sheets. pei jingzhou, who rarely dismantled the bed blanket, had no choice but to do it himself. he rolled up his sleeves and dismantled the bed blanket. yaoyao watched from the side, his sullen expression looking more or less guilty. pei jingzhou placed the dismantled bedsheets aside and found the hairdryer in the drawer. he dried the wet lump on the bed and waited for the smell to dissipate. yaoyao pointed at the sheet. what about that? pei jingzhou said, throw it away. yaoyao said, thats not good. pei jingzhou smiled. you know its not good. yaoyao: ( ) pei jingzhou picked up the bedsheet. do you know where the washing machine is after staying here for a few days? yaoyao nodded. i know. then he turned and walked out. follow me. pei jingzhou smiled and followed. li xiwu made a cake that was about six inches tall today. without a complete tool, she had made the cake into a square. the appearance and texture of the cake were superb. boyuan could not control her mouth and ate the entire cake that li xiwu had cut off for her. after eating, she began to regret it. because of my diet, i havent touched cake and cream in a long time. im craving it today, and my bike will smoke at night. li xiwu was a woman herself, so she naturally understood that boyuan was already very thin and still wanted to lose weight. its fine to eat it once in a while, li xiwu comforted her. i only eat it once in a while. its mainly because youyou likes it. boyuan said, not only do children like this cake you made, but adults also like it very much, okay? if i had a physique that doesnt get fat, i would have finished showing off the cake as soon as it was ready. li xiwu smiled faintly. im also envious of this physique, but its rare. the two of them chatted. the three children opposite were sitting side by side eating cake. there was cream on the tip of youyous nose and cheeks. little jingzhe only had a little at the corner of her mouth, and only yaoyaos face was the cleanest. when the scene changed again, li xiwu and boyuan saw yaoyao take a tissue and seriously wipe the cream off youyous face. it was extremely heartwarming. after interacting with her for the past two days, boyuan wished that li xiwu would stay next door to them. that way, she could see her all the time. moreover, the children were all in the same kindergarten. they had company when they picked them up. when it was almost five-thirty, li xiwu said that she wanted to go back. boyuan tried to keep li xiwu. normally, li xiwu would have stayed. but han qianye would go to lake lu tonight, so she had to go back. after explaining the reason, boyuan expressed her understanding. before leaving, li xiwu went to find yaoyao. probably because he knew that li xiwu was leaving, yaoyao returned to his room alone. when li xiwu arrived, pei jingzhou had just come out. she asked, did you tell yaoyao? pei jingzhou said, mhm. li xiwu said, ill talk to him again. pei jingzhou turned sideways. hes not in a good mood, but think about it another way. the more reluctant he is, the sooner we can take him home. li xiwu nodded. youre right. the deeper their relationship was, the stronger yaoyaos dependence on pei jingzhou and li xiwu would become. until he became more and more inseparable, he hoped that they could meet at all times. that was the day yaoyao was willing to go home with pei jingzhou and li xiwu. when they returned to lake lu, it was a few minutes past six. traffic during the evening rush hour was a little later than expected. when she opened the door and came in, auntie lin hurried over. madam, sir, youre back. and me~ youyou, who was in pei jingzhous arms, waved her hands. auntie lin smiled and said, i saw youyou a long time ago. hehe ? youyou struggled in pei jingzhous arms. daddy, put me down. okay. pei jingzhou bent down and put youyou down. youyou rushed over and pounced on auntie lin. she hugged auntie lin first. auntie lin leaned over and stroked youyous hair. youyou smiled happily and turned around to walk inside to see her little goldfish. li xiwu handed the small bag to pei jingzhou. she was about to change her shoes when she saw auntie lin looking at her as if she had something to say. li xiwu asked, whos here? auntie lin nodded. madam and master are here. although auntie lin had never seen han qianye in reality, she had seen han qianye on television variety shows and knew that she was li xiwus mother-in-law, so she called her madam. the man who came with madam had a similar aura to pei jingzhou. he was dignified and should be the head of the pei family. when li xiwu heard that the two of them were here, she quickly changed her shoes and asked, auntie lin, are there many fresh dishes in the fridge? madam and master came half an hour ago. oh, right, theres also a young man. he should be mr. peis brother. i dont know when youll be back. ive already ordered food from the online supermarket and theyre on their way here. youve worked hard, pei jingzhou said to auntie lin. auntie lin said, its my job, but, sir and madam, my culinary skills cant cook much decent food. auntie lin was not an all-round nanny. her responsibility was to take care of youyou, do some housework, and buy on time. previously, when she took care of youyou, she only made two or three nutritious dishes every day. she really could not cook too many big dishes. li xiwu gestured for auntie lin not to worry. ill arrange it. are they all inside now? auntie lin nodded. yes, theyre inside. li xiwu turned to look at pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou had already taken out his cell phone. leave the dishes from the supermarket for now. its so late. ill order a table of dishes from qionglou and send them over. li xiwu smiled. i think so too. in the living room, the first thing youyou did when she came back was to look at her little goldfish in a hurry. she had to look at them every afternoon. as soon as she ran in, she saw three strangers in the house. the moment han qianye saw youyou, she stood up excitedly.. Chapter 403 - Chapter 403: 1 Miss You chapter 403: 1 miss you translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations at this moment, li xiwu and pei jingzhou had yet to enter, but han qianye was 100% sure that this was her wandering granddaughter at first glance! han qianye walked forward excitedly. youyou stepped back in shock. seeing this, pei qingji quickly reached out to stop the excited han qianye. you scared her! after pei qingjis reminder, han qianye realized that she was too anxious. she quickly restrained her excitement and said to youyou in a guilty tone, im sorry. grandma was too happy to see you. i accidentally frightened you. the wariness in youyous eyes turned into confusion. grandma? han qianye nodded. aye. youyou puffed out her cheeks. youre not my grandma. of course, i am. han qianye sounded very certain. beside her, pei qingji reminded her, youre like a child trafficker outside. this is the first time were meeting. how can you say that youre her grandma the moment you come up? although shes a child, shes not stupid. han qianye pulled a long face. do i look like a child abductor? pei qingji panicked. i mean han qianye said, dont speak. pei qingji manually zipped up his mouth. okay. at this moment, li xiwu and pei jingzhou walked in one after another. pei jingzhou walked in front. when youyou saw pei jingzhou, she ran over and pounced on him. pei jingzhou bent down and picked up his daughter. seeing youyous tense smile, pei jingzhou asked, whats wrong? its me, its me. han qianye did not dare to walk forward again, afraid that she would scare youyou again. she explained, i was too excited just now and scared the little darling. pei jingzhou looked up at han qianye and pei qingji and nodded. dad, mom. pei qingji nodded. han qianye nodded. pei jingzhou said, you just arrived. youyou hasnt adapted to your existence yet, so she was frightened. shell be fine after adapting. its my fault for being too agitated just now. han qianye felt a little guilty. li xiwu walked out from behind pei jingzhou. youyou is very lively. she was a little frightened and will quickly forget. xixi! when han qianye saw li xiwu, she took two steps forward. you dont know how much ive missed you these past few days. thank you for your concern. li xiwu smiled faintly and called out, auntie. turning to look at pei qingji, who was standing by the sofa, li xiwu nodded and called out, uncle. pei qingji nodded. calling her that did not matter to han qianye. li xiwu could call her whatever she wanted, so she was not in a hurry to correct her. she asked, where did you go today? li xiwu turned to look at pei jingzhou. seeing this, han qianye also turned to look at pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou said, i went to madam di xins daughters house. when han qianye heard that it was madam di xins daughter, she immediately reacted. is yaoyao with her? li xiwu replied, yes, auntie. yaoyao has been at boyuans place recently. fourth brother and i will go over to accompany him every day. han qianye nodded. i also heard from madam di xin that yaoyao was sent to bolins sister, who lives in the capital. that person should be called boyuan? li xiwu said, yes. han qianye stopped the conversation and did not continue asking. it was not appropriate to stand there and chat. she turned to look at the little girl in pei jingzhous arms, then walked over and asked lovingly, your name is youyou, right? pei jingzhou nodded. yes. han qianye slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch youyou at close range, but she was afraid that her contact might make youyou dislike her, so she silently lowered her hand. after all, she had given youyou a fright just now. seeing this, pei jingzhou said, just get along more. han qianye nodded. thats true. youyou pointed at the fish tank not far away. 1 want to see my little goldfish. alright, ill go over now. pei jingzhou carried youyou towards the fish tank. han qianye looked at pei jingzhous back with relief. he had children and an outstanding wife. jingzhous life was very complete. retracting her gaze, han qianye returned to li xiwu and held her hand. come sit and talk. i have so much to tell you. li xiwu smiled faintly and replied, okay. pei qingji consciously sat in the armchair on the other side. han qianye pulled li xiwu to sit down on the sofa. during this time, she kept holding li xiwus hand and asked worriedly, how has yaoyao been recently? li xiwu had long known that han qianye was going to ask about this. she replied in a neither fast nor slow tone, the psychotherapist has already begun to do psychological treatment for yaoyao. after that, he will prescribe medicine and undergo educational intervention. the day he gets better wont be long. thats good. han qianye couldnt help but sigh softly. madam di xin said that yaoyao fell seriously ill when he was sent to the capital. li xiwu lowered her eyes. she had also heard from boyuan that yaoyao had indeed been seriously ill before he was sent to the capital. yaoyao was born prematurely, and he was the one with the least nutrition among the twins. he only survived healthily after staying in the incubator for more than fifty days. because of his autism, he closed his heart and did not like to speak. he also did not take the initiative to eat properly, causing his physical development to be a little shorter than children his age. he was not as tall as youyou, nor were his arms and legs chubby. after that serious illness, he lost a lot of weight. li xiwu looked up at han qianye and shouted, auntie. han qianye met li xiwus gaze. ask away. li xiwu said, has madam di xin already told you everything that happened back then? yes, she told me everything. han qianye nodded. madam di xin told me everything about what you experienced in country t four years ago and why you gave birth to yaoyao and youyou. with that, she asked li xiwu, i can tell you anything else you want to know. this was also what madam di xin had said to han qianye at the dining table before she returned. madam di xins exact words at that time were, the past doesnt have to be sealed for too long. ive told you all this. if little you asks you about this when you go back, tell her. if she doesnt ask, you can pretend not to know anything. han qianye naturally agreed to madam di xins request. so now, she was waiting for li xiwu to ask her about the past. as long as li xiwu asked, she would tell her everything that had happened back then. however, to han qianyes surprise, li xiwu did not ask about her past in country t. she only said, im already prepared to recover my memories. theres no hurry, after a pause, li xiwu said seriously, my past i want to remember it myself after i recover my memories. han qianye originally thought that li xiwu would want to know the past. however, she quickly understood li xiwus thoughts. the past that came from her mouth was still like listening to someone elses story to li xiwu, who had no memories. it was better to wait for her to regain her memory.. Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: Favorability Maxed Out chapter 404: favorability maxed out translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei youan came out of the bathroom. as he wiped the water off his hands with a tissue, he asked, dad, mom, when are brother and sister-in-law coming back? just as he finished asking, pei youan looked up and saw pei jingzhou standing not far away. brother! pei youan walked over quickly. i only went to the bathroom for a while and you guys came back. wheres sister-in-law? pei jingzhou raised his chin slightly and gestured to the left. pei youan turned around and looked over. at this moment, his sister-in-law was sitting and chatting with his mother. it had been a while since they last met. pei youan even missed li xiwus culinary skills. if not for the fact that time was tight for revision and he did not have much time to come back, he would have gone to the small courtyard with a lot of delicious food every week. pei youan strode over. after taking a step, pei youan realized that he seemed to have overlooked something. he turned around and craned his neck to look behind his brother, trying to see the person he had ignored. pei jingzhou smiled and asked, what are you looking at? at this angle, pei jingzhous side was just enough to block youyous figure who had stepped on the stool and looked at the goldfish. therefore, pei youan could barely see the corner of a light yellow down jacket. it was clearly a girls clothes. sister-in-law was sitting over there. who was the girl beside his brother? pei youan said suspiciously, brother, why do i feel like theres someone beside you? pei jingzhou said, there is someone. pei youan turned back. who is it? just as he finished speaking, youyou poked her head out from beside pei jingzhou and looked at pei youan curiously. their eyes met. pei youan had the biggest reaction. his eyes widened. wow, brother, who is she? pei jingzhou introduced, your niece. pei youans eyes widened again. did i hear wrongly?! han qianye walked over and said, of course you didnt hear wrongly. lets get to know each other. pei youyou, your biological niece. she had heard from li xiwu that youyou did not have an official name yet. then she would call her pei youyou first. it was nice. pei youan swallowed hard and realized something. no wonder you and dad came to lake lu today and agreed to let me follow you. so thats what happened. han qianye smiled. thats right. after knowing that the little girl was his niece, pei youan went forward enthusiastically and said to youyou, no matter where you used to live, since my brother and sister-in-law brought you back and changed your surname to pei, youre my biological niece from now on. with that, pei youan reached out to hug youyou. youyou hugged pei jingzhous arm tightly and shook her head. no. pei youan was very disappointed. its our first time meeting. cant we even hug? im your uncle. youyou shook her head firmly. no, no, no. pei youan: he had been rejected so decisively. although he was disappointed, pei youan understood. children were shy. it was normal. he turned to look at pei jingzhou and asked, brother, where did you bring her back? from a welfare home? just as he finished speaking, pei youan received a blow to the back of his head. he raised his hand and covered the back of his head in pain. he turned to look at the person who had knocked his head. mom, why did you hit me? han qianye reminded her, i already said that shes your biological niece, not brought here by the welfare institute. pei youans expression was filled with disbelief. how is this possible? why not!? pei jingzhous voice came from behind. pei youan and pei jingzhou looked at each other for a few seconds before falling silent. his brother didnt look like he was joking. of course, he didnt believe his brother made such a joke. could he have accidentally stepped into a parallel universe? at this moment, li xiwu walked over. when pei youan saw li xiwu, his eyes lit up. he jumped to li xiwus side. sister-in-law, sister-in-law, whats going on? i feel that the last time we met was only a month ago. why did you and my brothers child become so old in the blink of an eye? li xiwu suppressed a smile. her name is youyou. shes the daughter your brother and i gave birth to four years ago. we also have a son. his name is yaoyao. hes the same age as youyou. theyre twins, but yaoyao hasnt been here recently. youll see him soon. after listening to li xiwu, pei youan froze on the spot. having a daughter had been shocking enough for a hundred years, but he had yet to digest this fact. sister-in-law had told him that there was a nephew!!! could it be that he had really accidentally stepped into a parallel universe? li xiwu raised her hand and gently patted pei youans arm. its a long story. well talk about it during dinner later. but dont be too surprised. its just something that happened in the past. pei youan nodded. it seemed to be true. pei youan could not be blamed for being in a daze. he had been locked up in school for nearly a month. when he came out, he knew that his nephew and niece were already four years old. if he was not in a daze, who would be?! the food ordered by qionglou came quickly. the table was full. the house at lake lu was rarely as lively as tonight. in han qianyes words, after we get yaoyao back, well call pei jiao over. its less than a month before the new year. this year will be more lively than any year in the past. everyone present could imagine the scene han qianye mentioned. that scene would be very lively. in the dining room, li xiwu and pei jingzhou told them about the process of bringing youyou back and also about yaoyaos current treatment. knowing that yaoyaos first day of treatment was very successful, han qianye heaved a sigh of relief. at the same time, she took advantage of tonight to tell li xiwu and pei jingzhou something. when i first saw yaoyao, i was very shocked. this child actually looked so similar to jingzhou when he was young. later on, the more i thought about it, the more i felt that something was wrong, so i took the initiative to do a dna test on yaoyao and jingzhou. only han qianye and pei qingji knew about this. therefore, after han qianye said these words, li xiwu was indeed very surprised. however, she was not surprised that han qianye thought that yaoyao looked like pei jingzhou when he was young. she had heard pei jingzhou mention this before and wanted to go to the old residence to take a look at pei jingzhous childhood photos, but she did not see them. later, she didnt take it seriously. what surprised her now was that han qianye had actually done a dna paternity test on pei jingzhou and yaoyao. i know about this, pei jingzhou said slowly. pei jingzhou recalled that his mother had taken yaoyao and his hair for a paternity test. at that time, he had not taken it seriously. li xiwu turned to look at pei jingzhou. when did you know? pei jingzhou said, the day i first met yaoyao, mom was also in the hospital. you came together. later, yaoyao met me. when mom saw me hugging yaoyao, she looked very surprised) but i didnt take it seriously at that time. li xiwu immediately understood. its normal that you didnt take it seriously. how could you think of a boy you met by chance as your own child? pei jingzhou nodded. indeed, i didnt take it seriously. i wasnt curious about the results of moms paternity test and missed the truth. han qianye continued blaming herself, this is my fault. pei youan only cared about listening and did not participate in these topics. while listening, his hands did not stay idle. he peeled prawns for youyou, picked fish bones for youyou, picked up food for youyou, and made her like him more. when han qianye heard youyous laughter, she turned to look at youyou, who was beaming with joy from youans coaxing. unknowingly, she was also happy. she continued, at that time, i didnt know xixis identity, so i naturally didnt think that yaoyao was born from xixi and jingzhou, so i didnt dare to tell jingzhou the results of the dna. i just wanted to find out who jingzhou gave birth to yaoyao with. at this point, han qianye looked up at li xiwu. it wasnt until i found out about your background and knew that you were li you that i placed my suspicions on you. i guessed that yaoyao was born in country t with you and jingzhou back then. however, everything has to be decided by the outcome, so it dragged on until now.. Chapter 405 - Chapter 405: How to Coax Her If She Cried? chapter 405: how to coax her if she cried? translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations now, han qianye felt that yaoyao had fallen seriously ill when he returned to country t because of her carelessness and mistakes. she felt extremely guilty. she regretted not stopping madam di xin and leaving yaoyao in the capital. this way, yaoyao would not fall seriously ill and even worsen his previous condition. li xiwu could tell that han qianye was blaming herself. she said gently, auntie, i can understand your actions. you have to speak with results. you cant rely on guesses. moreover, your intention is to protect my relationship with fourth brother. these words were well-advised and comforted han qianye. it made han qianye feel better. pei youan, who was at the side, listened attentively as he fed youyou. at first, he did not know anything. it was only tonight that he found out that the sister-in-law he admired the most was actually the daughter of a famous diplomat in the country, and his sister-in-law was once an outstanding diplomat. this identity was enough for pei youan to brag about in school for a long time! at this moment, pei youan looked a little smug. in the end, other than my brother, im the only one with the best taste. with that, everyone looked at pei youan. pei youan explained consciously, ever since sister-in-law entered the house four years ago, mom and dad didnt liked her. my sister is also someone who doesnt care about anything. im the most satisfied with sister-in-law. you have to know that i called her sister-in-law the first time i saw her. pei youan rubbed their noses in it. han qianyes face turned a little green. youre really my good son. pei qingji said, if you dont speak, no one will think youre mute. pei youans happy lips immediately retracted. li xiwu couldnt help but laugh. it wasnt easy for her to continue this topic, so she didnt say anything. pei jingzhou, who was beside her, prepared a dish for her. he put down his chopsticks and said, four years ago, i was the one who made the decision to arrange all of this. all the misunderstandings were caused by me. li xiwu looked sideways at pei jingzhou and knew that he was taking all the responsibility. moreover, in the end, it seemed that the source of everything was indeed because of his decision back then. for a moment, no one said anything else. after dinner, pei jingzhou and pei qingji cleaned up the dishes on the table. pei youan cherished youyou very much. he followed her wherever she went like a lackey. fortunately, youyou was not against it and was willing to let pei youan follow her. she even introduced her ultraman to pei youan. when pei youan saw ultraman, he was puzzled. shouldnt little girls like barbie dolls? why do you like ultraman that only boys like? youyou turned to look at pei youan and said coquettishly, i already have a lot of barbie dolls. pei youan asked, you dont play barbie dolls but ultraman? youyou replied, i like ultraman fighting monsters. if you dont believe in ultraman, ultraman wont pick you up in the future. pei youan snorted. so you believe that one day, ultraman will take you to protect the world? youyou said, thats right! pei youan laugh out loud. hahahahaha, there is no ultraman in this world. the ultraman in youyous hand fell to the ground with a thud. when pei youan heard this voice, he immediately stopped laughing. he quickly went forward to pick up the fallen ultraman and handed it to youyou. but youyou did not reach out to take the ultraman back. the corners of her lips pressed down, all the way into a downward arch. seeing this, pei youan thought to himself, its over! when youyou cried, the entire family would skin him! at this moment, pei youan wished he could slap himself. why was his mouth so cheap? how could he have forgotten that saying? if he wanted to destroy someones faith, he just had to tell them that there was no ultraman in this world. fuck! he was really precise in stepping on a sore spot. im sorry, im sorry. dont cry. if you cry, the entire family will skin me pel youan quickly apologized. however, youyou looked up, opened her mouth, and wailed. pei youan was petrified. for a moment, he didnt know whether to continue apologizing or coaxing. han qianye rushed over when she heard the commotion. pei qingji, pei jingzhou, li xiwu, and auntie lin followed behind. youyou was crying too loudly. everyone thought that she had accidentally fallen and that was why she suddenly cried so loudly. han qianye walked over and saw pei youans helpless expression. she went forward and questioned him, did you hit youyou? pei youan immediately raised his hands. im innocent. how would i dare? han qianye picked up youyou, who was crying, and coaxed her. seeing that she was not getting better, she turned around and scolded pei youan, what did you do? pei youan stammered, i-i just at this moment, pei jingzhou walked over. seeing that youyou was crying badly, he reached out. let me do it. han qianye knew that she could not coax youyou, so she handed youyou to pei jingzhou to hug. probably because of her sense of security, youyou did not cry so loudly after entering pei jingzhous arms. however, she was still sobbing, looking angry and sad. as a grandfather-to-be, pei qingjis heart ached when he sees his granddaughters eyes were red from crying. shes crying so much. as he spoke, pei qingji looked up at the helpless pei youan. how did you make her cry? pei youan was most afraid of pei qingji in this family, followed by his brother. a father always had the dignity of a father. of course, this was also called the strongest bloodline suppression. pei youan did not dare to look pei qingji in the eye. he avoided eye contact and stammered, i-i just said that there are no ultraman in this world. the last five words were whispered, like mosquitoes. han qianye thought she had heard wrong. what? what? pei youan mustered his courage and repeated, i said in front of youyou that there are no ultraman in this world! as soon as he finished speaking, youyou, who was in pei jingzhous arms, cried even harder. she looked up and her mouth was wide open. han qianye glared at pei youan. look at you. shut up. pei youan muttered, you didnt hear me clearly and wanted me to say it again. youre still talking back? pei qingji glanced at pei youan with a warning gaze. pei youan could mutter a few words in front of han qianye, but he did not dare to do so in front of his father. he obediently did not dare to say anything. li xiwu walked over. she had heard pei youans words just now. seeing that pei youan was a little aggrieved by his fierce words, she went forward to comfort him. youyou will quickly forget about unhappy things. she likes you very much. she will be able to communicate with you happily again soon. pei youan grinned. right? i thought so! fortunately, youyous personality is not like my brothers. pei jingzhou, who had been called out, said, are you implying that my personality is very bad? Chapter 406 - Chapter 406: Youyou’s Like Li Xiwu chapter 406: youyous like li xiwu translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations not at all. pei youan instantly became tactful. brother, your personality is especially good. after all, your personality can even win over sister-in-law. how can it be bad, right? although the words sounded smooth, how could pei jingzhou not tell that these words were more insinuating than before? pei jingzhou glanced at pei youan and smirked coldly. young brat. at this moment, youyous cries had become much softer. but her small shoulders were still twitching. it was obvious that she hadnt been throwing a tantrum. she had really been crying her heart out. the bangs on her forehead were wet with sweat. li xiwu carefully brushed the bangs off youyous forehead. youyou rubbed against her and was about to come to li xiwu when she reached out. hug~ li xiwu took youyou and hugged her. the tears on youyous face had yet to dry, so she rubbed some on pei jingzhous collar. now that she was in li xiwus arms, she rubbed some on li xiwus thin velvet high collar, but there were no obvious traces. li xiwu coaxed her gently, if youyou believes that there are ultraman in this world, there must be. your thoughts have to be firm and not be shaken. youyou was shaken just now. youyou whined in li xiwus arms. then has mom seen ultraman? li xiwu smiled faintly. mom has never seen it before. because moms thoughts are not firm enough, i cant see ultraman. as long as youyous thoughts are firm and not shaken, you will definitely see ultraman one day. youyou propped up her head and asked with a serious expression, really? li xiwu replied, of course. it was a white lie. a child whose faith had been shattered would not easily be interested in many things in the future as they grew up. if she continued to maintain this faith and gradually grew up, she could easily accept the fact that there were no ultraman in this world. she could also maintain her passionate faith forever. youyou immediately smiled, and her eyes curved into crescents. li xiwu knew that youyous mood had been cured. she asked gently, do you still want to play with little uncle? youyou nodded. yes. pei youan widened his eyes in shock and quickly gave her a thumbs up. sister-in-law, youre too awesome. youyou isnt angry with me just because of a few words. li xiwu exuded a motherly glow from head to toe, and her expression and tone were especially gentle actually, i havent completely figured out youyous personality, but theres one thing. its easy to communicate with youyou. as long as you communicate with her seriously, she can listen to all the words and logic. when pei youan heard this, he said firmly, youyou must take after you on this point. li xiwu smiled and asked, why do you think so? pei youan glanced at pei jingzhou. because my brother didnt give me a chance to communicate with him at all. hes as dictatorial as my father. ahem! pei qingji coughed lightly and reminded pei youan, im still here. pei youan smiled awkwardly and quickly shut his mouth. he was afraid that if he said anything else, he would not be able to escape that beating tonight. it was almost nine oclock, but han qianye had no intention of leaving. pei qingji reminded her several times. han qianye pretended not to hear it at first, but seeing that it was getting later and later, she was afraid that she would delay her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters rest. li xiwu had the intention to keep han qianye. the house in lake lu was very big, and there were several guest rooms. it was not a problem to stay there. han qianye almost agreed, but she was still rational. if she stayed here, she would definitely want to chat with li xiwu. she had no choice. the moment she saw li xiwu, her mouth and hands could not stop moving. pei youan would only return to school tomorrow afternoon, so he asked, dad, mom, can i stay here for the night when you go back? pei qingji said, no. han qianye said, did you hear what your father said? no. pei youan turned to beg pei jingzhou with a fawning expression. brother, can i stay here for the night? pei jingzhou smiled. obviously pei youans eyes were filled with anticipation. pei jingzhou said, obviously not. the anticipation on pei youans face instantly turned into frustration. dont tell me youre holding a grudge just because i made youyou cry just now. pei jingzhou said, youre always so carefree. you dont have the stability of an adult at all. when do you think its appropriate for me to arrange for you to enter the company? enter the company? no way. its too early. i havent graduated from high school. pei youans head hurt when he heard that he was going to enter the company. his thoughts were the same as pei jiaos. he liked freedom. it was enough to have his brother in the company. he didnt want to get involved at all. pei jingzhou glanced sideways at pei youan. nine years of compulsory education. the journey is long and the mission is heavy. which year did you miss? pei youan: pei jingzhou reminded him, youre used to the current stability, but youve never thought of maintaining it. its true that im your brother, but managing the pei family is not just my business. the blood of the pei family runs in your veins, so you have to protect the pei family. the principles came as it pleased. pei youan was not mentally prepared to comprehend it. pei youan said, brother pei jingzhou said, what do you take me for? the pei familys sky? pei youans tone was a little self-righteous. dad handed the company to you and the pei familys power to you. youre the pei familys sky now. pei jingzhou sneered. the burden of the pei family is not on you. you dont feel pressured, so you naturally yearn for freedom. i dont need you to mature immediately, but you have to remember that no one can support you forever. pei youan pursed his lips and fell silent. at this moment, the two brothers were together. it was rare for pei jingzhou to talk so much. other aristocratic families fought openly and secretly, and brothers fought. pei jingzhou and pei youan were respectful towards each other. such a relationship was rare in a tycoons family. however, as time passed, pei youans personality easily deteriorated because he enjoyed peace too much. pei jingzhou sighed. pei youan, you have to be glad that you were born in the pei family. pei youans eyes were clear and stupid. huh? the clear stupidity in pei youans eyes was too obvious. it was difficult for pei jingzhou to ignore it. if you were in the he family, no one would know where you would die now. pei youan shuddered when he heard this. although he didnt pay much attention, his friends of the same age were all in the circle of aristocratic families, so he had naturally heard a little about them. his peers, or those who were a few years older, had already started fighting for the family assets at the age of fifteen or sixteen. in order to fight for the family assets and the inheritance rights, it wasnt unusual for someone to suddenly disappear one day. it would only be an accident when they found out. however, after his brothers reminder, pei youan suddenly thought of he wang, who was in the tigers den of the he family.. hence, he asked, brother, how has brother wang been recently? Chapter 407 - Chapter 407: It’s Enough That I Love You chapter 407: its enough that i love you translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jingzhou said calmly, dont worry, hes alive. pei youan had never seen the big world before. he was afraid that his small heart would not be able to take it, so he did not dare to ask further. its good that hes alive. its good that hes alive. pei jingzhou looked up at pei youans frightened expression and sneered. thats all youve got. pei youan did not dare to retort. that was indeed all he could do. knowing that he could not stay for the night even if he racked his brains, pei youan was about to leave when pei jingzhou stopped him. youan. pei youan turned around and was overjoyed. brother, you agree to let me stay here for the night? pei jingzhou said, dont keep dreaming of unrealistic goals at all times. youll only be disappointed. pei youan was dejected. i knew it. pei jingzhou walked over and stood beside pei youan. you have to plan your life well. with that, pei jingzhou went to look for li xiwu. pei youan smacked his lips and muttered to himself as he walked out, if only i were a daughter. these words happened to enter han qianyes ears. she added, such a coincidence. i just went to country t and learned a little about the gender change there out of curiosity. if you have this thought, as your mother, i naturally have to support you and help you contact the doctor. faced with his mothers sudden enthusiasm, pei youan shuddered and shook his head vigorously. no, no, no. i was just saying. i dont have such thoughts. han qianye clicked her tongue. what a pity. i thought i could have one more daughter and one less son. pei youan: night fell. youyou was coaxed to sleep by auntie lin. li xiwu glanced outside the door. when she returned to the master bedroom, pei jingzhou had just come out of the bathroom. his black bathrobe was loosely tied. as he walked, some images were faintly discernible. li xiwu teased, fourth brother, you did it on purpose. pei jingzhou wiped his wet hair with the towel on his shoulder and walked up to her. he asked with a smile, on purpose? li xiwu looked up at him and did not reply. she was afraid of answering him, so she changed the topic and mentioned what han qianye had said at the dining table tonight. she took the towel from his hand and gestured for him to lower his head a little. she took the initiative to wipe his hair. as she did so, she said, auntie said that she had done a paternity test on you and yaoyao before. i thought of something at that time. do you want to know? pei jingzhou smiled. if i said i didnt want to, would you really not say it? li xiwu snorted. if you say you dont want to, i really wont say it. its up to you to listen. pei jingzhou restrained her hand from drying his hair. he took it down and reached into the open collar of his bathrobe. go ahead. im listening. li xiwu: li xiwu had almost forgotten what she was going to say when her attention was diverted. she didnt pull her hand away. hed let her touch it anyway. it would be a waste not to. she pressed her palm against his hard chest, her knuckles flexing as she gently scraped her fingertips over every inch of his skin. pei jingzhou grunted and looked a little bitter. li xiwu stopped her fingertips and finished speaking first. i remember that auntie had collected my dna before. that day, she was still recording a show and she took my lipstick. i didnt think too much about it at that time. later on, when i thought about it carefully, i felt that something was wrong. a bold thought even popped into my mind. was she taking my dna for a paternity test? pei jingzhous deep eyes hooked onto her. do you regret not asking clearly when you think about it now? li xiwu admitted, yes. saying this yes made her heart feel muffled. she also said, because there was a scene of me being pregnant in my previous dream, i later suspected that yaoyao might be my son. however, because the ages didnt match, it was also because of this that i didnt investigate very firmly. i even calmly wanted to wait for a suitable time to go to country t to see madam di xin and ask her about what happened back then. if i had been more determined back then, yaoyao wouldnt have suffered from this serious illness. at this point, li xiwus voice gradually became choked. pei jingzhou pulled her into his arms and imprisoned the back of her head with his palm. mom, dad, me, you, were all blaming ourselves, but we have to hide these things in our hearts and do our best to make up for these shortcomings. we have to get yaoyao back as soon as possible. li xiwu said in a muffled voice, yes. when she was lying in bed, because her emotions had fluctuated greatly just now, it was not easy to fall asleep. pei jingzhous arm was around her waist. he did not do anything and only hugged her quietly. at first, her back was facing pei jingzhou. this posture made her feel extremely safe, as if she was wrapped in pei jingzhou. after a while, she turned to face him and whispered, fourth brother, arrange for a doctor. ive thought it through. i want to recover my memory. pei jingzhou asked her, have you really thought it through? li xiwu replied, yes. the atmosphere was not quiet, but it was a little frozen. li xiwu naturally knew pei jingzhous concerns, but she had really thought it through. it was only a matter of time. it was better to do it earlier. perhaps it would be uncomfortable for a while. but now that she knew that her parents had passed away and she had found her children, all that was left of her tragic past were those memories, she would accept it. pei jingzhou did not speak for a long time. li xiwu could not help but ask him, fourth brother, when i looked at you with an unfamiliar gaze after i lost my memory, did your heart ache? pei jingzhou replied, rather than being trapped in pain and being muddle-headed, i want you to have a brand new life and live well. li xiwu said, even if i dont love you anymore? pei jingzhous arm around her waist gradually tightened. he said in a low voice, its enough that i love you.. Chapter 408 - Chapter 408: Eternally In Passionate Love chapter 408: eternally in passionate love translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the next day, pei jingzhou received a call from father pei. father pei said on the phone that he wanted him to bring li xiwu back to tanhua manor in the morning. after answering the call, pei jingzhou went to the cloakroom. in front of a wide full-length mirror, li xiwu was raising her wrist to tie her hair. she was doing it seriously and did not notice pei jingzhou. the room was well heated. she was wearing a thin, tight bra and light blue jeans. her slender waist showed off her fair skin as she raised her hand. her figure was perfect. pei jingzhou came in and happened to see this scene. his eyes darkened, and the desire he had suppressed last night gradually revived. his feet were light as he inched closer. li xiwu was halfway through tying her hair when she saw pei jingzhou in the mirror. she smiled. is youyou up? the two of them woke up early. at this time, youyou might not be awake yet, or she might have just woken up. pei jingzhou walked behind li xiwu and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. his palm lingered on her abdomen, his calloused fingers caressing her skin. dad called just now. im on the phone. i havent gone out yet. li xiwu lowered her hand and turned to look at him. you rarely mention it in front of me when uncle usually calls you. now that you mention it, it seems that theres something. pei jingzhou stared at her beautiful lips with his deep eyes and lowered his head to kiss her. li xiwu drew back her neck. lets talk first. pei jingzhous adams apple bobbed. kiss me first. with that, he tightened his grip on her waist before she could say yes. li xiwu couldnt help but chuckle when she saw that he didnt intend to stop until he kissed her. she called him by his full name. pei jingzhou, is this our first day in a relationship? pei jingzhou did not manage to kiss her, so he was no longer anxious. he said with a faint smile, in my opinion, every day is the first day. li xiwu raised her eyebrows. always in passionate love? pei jingzhou said, of course. li xiwu snorted. its said that men go downhill after the age of twenty five. my man still has the energy to maintain a passionate relationship forever. should i say that im quite happy? as soon as she finished speaking, the smile on li xiwus lips gradually froze. pei jingzhou asked her, why arent you laughing anymore? sensing the obvious change in his body, li xiwu took a deep breath. not now. pei jingzhou said, i know. li xiwu said, if you know, why pei jingzhou said hoarsely, but i cant control it. li xiwu: pei jingzhou slowly leaned over and pressed her body back. his arm was still firmly around her slender waist. its your fault. i wanted to come in and talk to you about something, but you insisted on seducing me. she seduced him? li xiwu laughed in anger at his words. what a big hat. i didnt do anything. how did i seduce you? nonsense. the last word sounded coquettish. here, here pei jingzhous other hand was not idle. his fingertips brushed across li xiwus fair neck, collarbone, and then down until they stopped on her slender waist. and here. li xiwu could feel that when his fingertips stopped at her side waist, they were not restless. an itch came, and li xiwu groaned. this voice touched pei jingzhous heart. li xiwu had yet to put on makeup, and her face was slightly red. she gritted her teeth. pei jingzhou! pei jingzhou chuckled, his hot breath landing on her earlobe. do you know now? even if you dont do anything and just stand there, its enough to make me fall head over heels for you. i cant help myself. what a way to say that he was head over heels in love. what a way to say that he couldnt control his emotions. at this moment, the person who took the initiative to provoke her was determined to win. the one who was teased fell for it at all times. she was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling mirror by pei jingzhou, and her back felt a little cold. she was afraid that things would get out of hand and wanted to stop him, but her strength seemed to have been sucked out of her. the air became even hotter, and li xiwu found it difficult to breathe. she punched pei jingzhou a few times, but because she couldnt use much strength, it was more like she was pretending to resist. in the end, li xiwu simply gave up. since she couldnt beat him, she thought, she might as well join him. unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door. it sounded random. it was undoubtedly youyou. li xiwu was so shocked that she instantly woke up. her fair fingers curled up and she grabbed pei jingzhous clothes. her voice trembled slightly. youyou is here. i know, pei jingzhou said. he lowered his head and kissed li xiwus sweating brow to calm her down. wait for me. li xiwu bit her lip. dont tell me you still want pei jingzhou said hoarsely, just for a moment. soon. in the end, li xiwu left first. she was fine. she just needed to tidy up her clothes a little and pull down the clothes that pei jingzhou had pushed up. after tidying up, she looked in the mirror. her cheeks were still a little red. it was warm, but it was not a big problem. she came to open the door. youyou was no longer outside the door. just a few minutes ago, youyou knocked on the door but received no response. when she tried to tiptoe to open the door and enter, she was stopped by auntie lin and pulled youyou away. auntie lin was someone who had experience. it was fine to enter a persons room who was staying alone. even their own children tried not to enter the room where the couple lived after night and in the morning. it was inconvenient. how awkward would it be to bump into something? li xiwu didnt have time to tie her hair. she came out of the master bedroom with her light brown long curly hair and went to the living room. when auntie lin saw her, she smiled and greeted, miss li. li xiwu smiled back. good morning, auntie lin. auntie lin pointed at the dining table. ive already made breakfast. youyou is eating. li xiwu replied, okay. morn~ youyou raised a piece of toast in her hand and waved at li xiwu. have breakfast. ill spread sauce for you. li xiwu walked towards the dining room. coming. a few minutes later, pei jingzhou came out of the master bedroom. he had changed his clothes. he had a dark gray coat on the crook of his arm and a tie in his other hand. his expression was unchanged, and he exuded a cold and abstinent aura. if li xiwu had not seen him lose control more than ten minutes ago, she would have believed that he was really abstinent. li xiwu took a bite of the toast that youyou had smeared with sauce for her. she looked at pei jingzhou, who was walking towards the dining room, and asked in a teasing tone, are you okay? it was more or less sarcastic. how could pei jingzhou not tell? he placed his jacket on the back of the chair and pulled out a chair to sit down. if i said no, how are you going to make it up to me? li xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. she placed the toast in her hand on a plate and took another piece. after applying the sauce, she placed it on the plate in front of pei jingzhou. is applying the sauce personally considered compensation? pei jingzhou smiled. that smile looked extremely doting.. yes, how can it not count? Chapter 409 - Chapter 409: Not Qualified to Marry Your Daughter chapter 409: not qualified to marry your daughter translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the weather wasnt very good today. the temperature had dropped last night, and it was drizzling this morning. li xiwu and pei jingzhou sent youyou to kindergarten together. in the car, pei jingzhou told her about what mr. pei had called this morning. the pei family and the wei family are long-time friends. my father has always been on good terms with the head of the wei family. when pei jiao was only a few years old, the son of the head of the wei family, wei yu, was about the same age as pei jiao and had a betrothal when they were young. recently, when wei yu came back to the country, the wei family mentioned the betrothal back then hearing this, li xiwu immediately guessed. so the wei family is going to visit the pei family today? pei jingzhou nodded. mm. li xiwus only opinion of the betrothal was, the betrothal is equivalent to seeing each other when they were young, but they havent seen each other since they grew up. even if they meet now, neither party can recognize the other. although its in the name of the betrothal, its actually a marriage alliance. pei jingzhou said, the pei family doesnt need a marriage alliance, but the pei family and the wei family are family friends. the betrothal was also decided by the previous generation. its not convenient for the elders to interfere. it depends on what choice pei jiao and wei yu make. li xiwu asked, does pei jiao know about the betrothal? pei jingzhou said, she knows. its good that she knows. li xiwu had not interacted much with pei jiao and did not fully understand her personality. however, it was easy to resist an arranged marriage. it was best not to hide it. since pei jiao knew, it depended on whether pei jiao accepted this arranged marriage when she was young. li xiwu analyzed and said, wei yu just returned to the country. the wei family quickly came to visit. they probably had the intention to bring up the marriage between the two of them, such as getting engaged first. pei jingzhou said, thats right. then we have to return to tanhua manor this morning? li xiwu asked. pei jingzhou nodded. yes. after sending youyou to kindergarten, li xiwu went to the company for a meeting. pei jingzhou did not leave after sending li xiwu to the company. he sat in the car for more than forty minutes and waited for li xiwu to come out. at that moment, li xiwu thought that pei jingzhou had just arrived. li xiwu also said, fourth brother, your timing is really accurate. pei jingzhou smiled and did not explain. he gestured for the chauffeur to drive. li xiwu took out her phone. ill tell boyuan that ill go over later. pei jingzhou said, mhm. after sending it, li xiwu waited for boyuan to reply before putting away her cell phone. on the way to tanhua manor, li xiwu heard pei jingzhou mention the interactions between the pei family and the wei family in the early years and recent years. however, their main interactions were still with father pei and grandpa pei. in pei jingzhous generation, there were only business interactions. if wei yu married pei jiao, their interaction would naturally increase. when they arrived at tanhua manor, the car drove into the old residence. pei jingzhou held an umbrella while li xiwu held his arm. the two of them walked in and two people walked out. the man in the lead was wearing a black coat and was seven feet tall. it was impossible to ignore him. his face was hidden under the umbrella. the rain blurred her vision, and she could only vaguely see his thin lips pursed into a straight line under the umbrella. wei yu arrived at the pei residence half an hour earlier than expected. pei qingji and wei chengfeng, wei yus father, were good friends for many years. the two of them interacted more frequently in the early years. in the past few years, pei qingji loved to fish, so his interactions with wei chengfeng gradually decreased. now that wei chengfeng had come to visit the pei family, pei qingji naturally had to welcome him personally. however, pei qingjis face quickly darkened because his good friend, wei chengfeng, was not here at all. only wei chengfengs son and his bodyguard were here. in the huge living room, wei yu sat on the side of the armchair. his bodyguard stood beside him. han qianye and pei qingji sat opposite each other. pei qingji did not look too good, while han qianye secretly sized up wei yu she had not seen for many years. he sat upright, his back straight, and his posture very straight. that was secondary. that face was really impeccable. he had a rare pair of phoenix eyes that were emotionless, but they were not cold either. his nose bridge was also very superior. he sat there without saying anything or smiling. the aura and outstanding appearance he had were impossible to ignore. the wei familys genes were indeed correct. han qianye slowly said, the last time i saw you was more than ten years ago. at that time, you were playing with jiaojiao. in the blink of an eye, youve already grown up. if you didnt say that you were wei yu, i wouldnt have known that its you. wei yu was unperturbed. so auntie still remembers me. han qianling said, back then, my jiaojiao was still young and insensible. she chased after you and kissed you until you cried. that scene is still fresh in my mind. not only did the past appear in front of han qianye, but it also appeared in front of wei yu. han qianye was just mentioning it casually. wei yus expression did not change. he did not even move his pursed lips. he was so calm that no one could tell what he was thinking. han qianye looked at wei yus attitude and her expression turned a little cold. she raised her voice and asked, why are you here today? wei yu looked up at han qianye. why isnt pei jiao here? han qianyes expression was cold. let me ask you, why are you here today? wei yu met han qianyes cold gaze and said clearly, to cancel the betrothal. as soon as he finished speaking, the coldness on han qianyes face disappeared. she folded her hands in her lap and put them down. she looked at wei yu calmly. youre really shameless. wei yu was neither servile nor overbearing. auntie, youre flattering me. han qianye was furious. youre really arrogant, young brat! wei yu said, auntie, calm down. there were not many people who could be so arrogant in front of han qianye, let alone in front of pei qingji. wei yu today could be considered a precedent. pei qingji, who had been silent for a long time, slowly said, is this the purpose of your visit in your fathers name? wei yu nodded. i guess. pei qingjis eyes turned cold. young brat, are you in charge of the wei family now? i dont have the ability yet. besides, i dont intend to inherit the wei familys business, wei yu said truthfully. a piece of trash like me shouldnt be qualified to marry your daughter. pei qingji snorted. at least you know your limits. han qianye could tell. arent you retreating in order to advance? to put it bluntly, you dont accept this marriage.youll use a strong method first, if it doesnt work, youll belittle yourself. young brat, ive eaten more salt at my age than youve eaten rice. dont think i cant see through your thoughts. wei yu: since auntie can tell, do you agree to cancel this betrothal? han qianye did not say anything and turned to look at pei qingji. pei qingjiu said, jiaojiao has something on today and will be back in half an hour. if i had known, i would have stopped her and let her see your attitude before going out. however, i thought about it carefully just now. its better not to dirty my daughters eyes. you can get lost.. Chapter 410 - Chapter 410: Fulfill chapter 410: fulfill translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations wei yus lips curled into a very faint smile. uncle and auntie are reasonable. as soon as he finished speaking, wei yu raised his hand in acknowledgment. the bodyguard walked towards han qianye and pei qingji opposite him. he leaned over slightly and handed over the box in his hand with both hands. please take a look. han qianye did not move at all. she looked up lazily. pei qingji glanced at it and was not interested. wei yu said, open it. when the bodyguard heard this, he opened the box. there was an ordinary-looking pearl quietly placed on the dark velvet cloth. this pearl immediately attracted pei qingjis gaze. pei qingji was surprised that wei yu was so generous. is this your sincerity? its also an apology. wei yu was neither servile nor overbearing. to thank uncle and auntie for fulfilling my wish. pei qingji snorted. fulfill? youre not worthy. han qianye chased her away. you can leave now. wei yu stood up and nodded slightly. ill leave the heavenly jewel. this is only a portion of the apology gift. ill send more apology gifts later. uncle, auntie, goodbye. with that, wei yu turned around and left. his tall figure quickly disappeared from pei qingji and han qianyes sight. after the bodyguard put down the box, he followed closely behind. if this pearl was placed in front of most ordinary people, they would definitely not recognize that this was actually a priceless heavenly jewel. han qianye picked up the box. this kid is really straightforward. pei qingji did not even look at the priceless pearl. if not for wei chengfeng, that young brat would not have thought of leaving the pei residence today! alright, whats there to be angry about? its not worth our anger. han qianye casually threw the box containing the heavenly jewel on the coffee table. the heavenly jewel fell out and rolled to the edge of the coffee table. this was not the first time han qianye had casually thrown away a priceless item. she said, this kid is so good-looking. it would be a tragedy if jiaojiao took a fancy to him. its a good thing that he didnt face this betrothal because of his familys arrangements. otherwise, it would have harmed our jiaojiao. pei qingji laughed angrily. you know how to comfort. outside the door, because wei yu had come half an hour early, when pei jingzhou and li xiwu arrived, they encountered wei yu. it was raining just now, so they couldnt see clearly. as they approached, li xiwu barely saw the appearance of the person opposite her. he stopped in his tracks, and the bodyguard holding the umbrella for him raised it higher. mr. pei, mrs. pei. wei yu spoke first. pei jingzhous gaze landed on wei yu. leaving? wei yu looked up. i came early. i just finished talking to uncle and auntie and was about to go back. it was obvious from the scene in front of him that no one else from the wei family had come today. there was only wei yu and the bodyguard holding the umbrella behind him. li xiwu added, looks like were too late. wei yu: im the one whos early. it was obvious that wei yu seemed to be in a hurry to leave. li xiwu and pei jingzhou made way. after the two of them left, she and pei jingzhou entered. after entering, pei jingzhou asked about the situation. han qianye roughly explained the situation just now. in the end, she smiled and said, if that old man wei knew that his son was so rash, he would faint from crying. li xiwu asked, then this betrothal is invalid? yes, its naturally invalid, han qianye said lazily. no matter how much that old man wei begs or how much he regrets, theres definitely no possibility of this betrothal recovering. her voice trailed off. pei jiao walked in, panting and putting her hands on her hips. im back. im finally back in time.. wheres wei yu? is he here? Chapter 411 - Chapter 411: Can ‘t Forget It Until Now chapter 411: can t forget it until now translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations in order not to miss their first meeting after so many years, pei jiao rushed back. it was all beikes fault for giving her the job yesterday. something happened in the latter half of the night, so pei jiao had no choice but to go out and stay up all night. originally, she could not come back so soon this morning, but she gritted her teeth and resolved everything. she rushed home immediately. she thought she would be in time to see wei yu, but she heard her mother reply he left! pei jiao was stunned. left?! han qianye nodded. yes, he left. pei jiao walked forward and put down her hands on her hips, still panting. shouldnt he have just arrived at this time? he came early. han qianye looked up at pei jiao. you rushed back in such a hurry just to see him? pei jiao nodded. yeah. theres no need to see him. han qianye shook her head in disappointment. your father and i have already seen through that bastard for you. hes not worthy of you. i havent even met him yet, and youre already so sure that hes not worthy of me. at least let me meet him. pei jiao was speechless. pei qingji, who was sitting beside her, asked) jiaojiao, are you feeling a little regretful that you didnt see him? i a little, apparently. pei jiao shrugged. not only was she physically tired from rushing back, but she was also mentally tired. she could not wait to see the gentle and elegant young master wei before they met. it was all that beikes fault. something had actually happened to the order he had introduced. if she had not gone out last night, she would definitely have seen wei yu this morning! jiaojiao, you dont have to feel regretful. pei qingji said to the disappointed pei jiao, this kid isnt worthy of you meeting him. hes not worthy of you meeting him specially. no matter how disappointed pei jiao was, she could tell what her father was implying. is he very ugly? han qianye spoke first. yes, hes very ugly. too ugly to look at directly. her daughter was obsessed with looks. this sentence was enough to dispel the filter in her heart about wei yu she had faced when she was young. however, after pei jiao heard this, she did not believe it immediately. instead, she was skeptical. are you sure hes very ugly? why dont i believe it han qianye nodded with certainty. hes really ugly. pei jiao asked, how ugly? han qianye described, he looks like a pear lump in june. liu yong has to call him big brother when he sees him. pei jiao raised her eyebrows. liu yong? pei qingji continued faintly, one of the four ugly men in ancient times. pei jiao was speechless. damn, so ugly? han qianye said to pei jiao, you cant blame dad and mom for judging people by their appearance. if theyre a little ugly, it wont pose much of a threat to their genes, but theyre too ugly. even nuwas reconstruction cant save that gene. how exaggerated han qianye was now. it was so exaggerated that pei jiao believed that it was not wei yu who came to annul the betrothal, but that the pei family did not like wei yu. otherwise, if pei jiao knew the truth, she would feel frustrated. pei qingji and han qianye echoed each other. at first, pei jiao was indeed stunned, but she was still very sober. if i didnt remember seeing wei yus parents when i was young, i would have believed you. han qianye did not know what to say. she threw pei jiao a sentence. believe it or not. pei jiao reasoned, the probability of having an ugly son from equally superior and good-looking parents is too low, unless theres a genetic mutation. her mother was very beautiful, and her father was also very good-looking when he was young. han qianyes lips were worn out, but she realized that her daughter was still not fooled. for a moment, she did not know if she was a little frustrated or if she should think highly of pei jiaos intelligence. she was about to say something. pei jiao suddenly said faintly, why do you think i chased after wei yu to kiss him when i was young? its because hes good-looking. he shouldnt have become ugly as soon as he grew up! han qianye: pei qingji: when li xiwu, who was sitting opposite her, heard this, she couldnt help but smile. she knew that pei jiao had a big personality, but she didnt know that pei jiao was so brave when she was young. han qianye rolled her eyes at pei jiao. your brain is usually stuck. why is it spinning so fast today? did your gears go haywire? pei jiao said, i just dont believe that wei yu is very ugly. han qianye really could not speak to her daughter who only look at looks. pei qingji glanced at han qianye from the corner of his eye. han qianye simply did not say anything and gave pei qingji a look to let him decipher. the atmosphere froze a little. pei jiao also knew that the outcome would be the same no matter what she asked about wei yus appearance. it was better to ask something else. what did wei yu say after he came? also, are wei yu i s parents here too? are they here to mention my engagement to him when he was a child? han qianye did not want to answer a single question. in the end, pei qingji answered, but he told pei jiao in another way. he did not mention that it was wei yu who brought up the nullification of the betrothal. pei jiao was a little disappointed. is this betrothal annulled just like that? pei qingji comforted his daughter. young people should advocate free love. besides, this betrothal is equivalent to a marriage alliance. when did my daughter need to sacrifice her marriage for an alliance? therefore, i suggest that this betrothal alliance is officially annulled today. after hearing father peis words, pei jiao felt an indescribable feeling. she was not sad. after all, she had not seen wei yu for more than ten years. their relationship was even more ordinary than ordinary friends. it was just a little regretful. the voice on the phone was so gentle that she couldnt forget it until now. she wanted to see what wei yu, who spoke so gently, looked like more than ten years later. she did not know if she would have the chance to see him again in the future. as she thought about it, pei jiaos gaze suddenly turned and landed on li xiwu. li xiwu, who was looking at her, pursed her lips quietly. she and pei jingzhou did not speak just now. they just sat at the side and listened quietly. it was related to pei jiaos life. after wei yu came, li xiwu had roughly heard everything from han qianye and pei qingji. the reason why wei yu came was clear, and he insisted on canceling this betrothal. in that case, it was no longer possible for him to be pei jiaos match in the future. receiving pei jiaos gaze, li xiwu thought that pei jiao would ask her. after looking at each other for a few seconds, pei jiao looked away first. it was obvious that she wanted to ask, but she held back. pei jiao left not long after. she said that she wanted to go back to sleep and yawned as she walked. it seemed that she did not take it to heart. seeing pei jiao leave, han qianye heaved a sigh of relief. this girl only knows makka pakka. its getting harder and harder to fool her if shes smart. pei qingji retorted, when is my daughter not smart? han qianye said seriously, she doesnt have much on her mind. she likes simplicity and yearns for freedom. if she marries, im still afraid that her future in-laws will bully her. in the future, be it her own boyfriend or someone elses introduction, i only have one request. pei qingji asked, what request? han qianye said, marry into the pei family.. Chapter 412 - Chapter 412: She Troubled Herself chapter 412: she troubled herself translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei qingji agreed. good idea. in the future, if anyone wants to marry my daughter, they have to marry into my pei family and be under my control. otherwise, they have to get lost as far as possible. han qianye was furious. my jiaojiaos grievance this time is definitely not for nothing. ill remember this debt from the wei family. although han qianye usually scolded pei jiao for being stupid, this was actually all because she spoiled her. she had never asked her daughter to be like the daughters of other aristocratic families. she only wanted her daughter to live freely and happily. that was why pei jiao had developed her current personality. pei jingzhou and li xiwu had come back for nothing today. she had thought that the patriarch of the wei family would visit today. who knew wei yu came in the name of the patriarch of the wei family? his goal was to cancel the betrothal. he left as he wished. pei jiao was still in the dark and did not know that she had been unilaterally dismissed by wei yu. han qianye left li xiwu and pei jingzhou for lunch before leaving. the two of them agreed. after that, li xiwu contacted dr. xu and went to boyuans house in the afternoon to treat yaoyao. during the meal, pei jiao ate quietly. no matter what han qianye and li xiwu talked about, she did not participate in any topics. han qianye knew that li xiwu was going to boyuans house to accompany yaoyao for mental treatment in the afternoon. she also wanted to see yaoyao and suggested that she go with her. li xiwu nodded. sure. yaoyao must be very happy to see you. han qianye was worried. im just afraid that little yaoyao wont even remember me. no. li xiwu was very sure. yaoyao has a good memory. he must have remembered you. these words comforted han qianye. after lunch, han qianye went up to change her clothes. pei qingji went to the library, while li xiwu and pei jingzhou sat in the living room and waited. taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else around, li xiwu said, when we were eating just now, i realized that pei jiao was in a bad mood. did she guess? so what if she guessed? pei jingzhou said, with pei jiaos personality, she wont like wei yu. li xiwu, who had never come into contact with wei yu and did not even know anything about him, asked, why are you so sure? pei jingzhou reached out and wrapped his arm around li xiwus waist. this person is two-faced and extremely shrewd. li xiwu immediately understood. no wonder you didnt say a word back then. at first, when mr. and mrs. pei lied to pei jiao that wei yu was very ugly, pei jingzhou did not say a word. he was like a bystander. he did not respond because he wanted to avoid saying anything unnecessary. pei jiao would not be agitated, but she would still lose face. sister-in-law. pei jiao walked over from behind, not as sloppy as usual. after walking over, she called li xiwu sister-in-law obediently. li xiwu smiled back. when we were eating just now, you looked listless. you probably didnt rest well. walk around a little and catch up on your sleep later. pei jiao replied, okay, ill walk around first to digest my food. with that, pei jiao looked at pei jingzhou. she was not as well-behaved as when she called li xiwu sister-in-law. when she called pei jingzhou the god of fortune, her tone returned to its usual sloppy tone. god of fortune, its really not easy to meet you. please come back to the old residence more often. pei jingzhou looked up at pei jiao. how much do you want? pei jiao grinned and rubbed her hands. as expected of the god of fortune. just give me some. in any case, her brother was generous. if he gave her some, it would be enough for her to spend for a long time. of course, this was only because her budget would take a long time, because the money she earned now was not wasted. it was all saved up for an early retirement. this was not the first time pei jingzhou had seen pei jiao like this. he took out his phone and handed it to li xiwu. your sister-in-law has the authority over the finances. tell her how much you want. pei jiao turned around and looked at li xiwu with shining eyes. li xiwu, who was hesitating about whether to take the cell phone, had no choice but to take it under pei jiaos shining gaze. she realized that pei jingzhous phone had already added her face to unlock it. the screen lit up, and after identifying it accurately, she unlocked it. she looked up at pei jiao. how much do you want? pei jiao was too embarrassed to say how much she wanted in front of li xiwu. she smiled and said, sister-in-law, just give it as you see fit. li xi nodded. she opened the business application and found the transfer record pei jingzhou had given pei jiao. the limit was 500,000 yuan, so she entered 500,000 yuan and transferred it to pei jiao. after that, she transferred another 500,000 yuan. pei jiaos phone beeped. she picked it up and looked at it. damn! sister-in-law, youre still the generous one? a million dollars with a wave of her hand. she hit the jackpot. pei jingzhou looked at pei jiaos money-grubber expression. are you implying that im not generous enough to you usually? not at all. definitely not. pei jiao shook her head. the god of fortune and the goddess of fortune are very generous. pei jingzhou smiled. you can talk. pei jiaos smile was especially bright. she raised her cell phone and waved. i wont disturb you. ill leave first. after pei jiao disappeared from li xiwus sight, she retracted her gaze and handed the phone back to pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou did not take it. just leave it there for me. no, take it yourself. i still have to look for you when a call comes, li xiwu said as she stuffed the phone into pei jingzhous hand. he held the edge of his cell phone and laughed softly. if a call comes in, cant mrs. pei answer it for me? li xiwu said, mrs. pei is very busy. pei jingzhou smiled dotingly. what are you busy with, mrs. pei? li xiwu raised her eyebrows. im busy ignoring mr. pei. pei jingzhou: pei jiao took her cell phone and went back upstairs. she locked the door and transferred the million yuan she had just received to another account. only then did she feel at ease. the computer screen kept flashing. it was a link from beike. pei jiao dealt with it briefly and turned off the computer. then she called beike. i have something on recently. dont look for me. beike immediately became nosy. blind date? preparing to have a refreshing love for a period of time? pei jiaos lips twitched. sorry, im not dating. ill go beat someone up and hide for a while after im done. beikes gossipy tone turned into a curious one. beat up who? do you need me to shake someone for you? pei jiao coughed lightly. in a lawful society, its wrong to fight in groups. i can handle my own private matters. beike became more and more curious. what is it? pei jiao did not want to say it, but at the thought of that, the gloominess in her heart deepened. in the end, she gritted her teeth and said, im despised. he actually came to my house specially to annul this betrothal. beike: annulled? pei jiao took a deep breath. yeah. beike: in front of you? pei jiao couldnt suppress her anger anymore. she said angrily, no, my parents refused to tell me. they were afraid that i would be embarrassed. i called him and asked him myself. do you know that he broke the fantasy i made up? its fine if he changed his gentleness that day and spoke coldly to me, but he even told me not to pester him. how am i pestering him? i just called to ask what was going on. f*ck, im so angry. i cant take this lying down, so i plan to teach him a lesson and let him know that i, pei jiao, am not someone to be trifled with. beike understood. so you were abandoned before you even started? pei jiao was speechless. this stab accurately pierced pei jiaos heart, causing her heart to ache. beike quickly corrected himself. this is too much. this is really too much. pei jiao finally felt a little better. beike continued asking, then what are you planning to do to him? youre not planning to rape him, are you? pei jiao was stunned, then she grinned. not a bad idea. are you crazy? youre going to sacrifice yourself just to teach him a lesson? thats too much of a sacrifice. beike felt very unfair for pei jiao and advised her not to do it. pei jiao laughed evilly. youre the one whos crazy. how can i sacrifice myself? since hes so arrogant, let others touch him. lets see how arrogant he can be! when beike heard this, he had goosebumps all over his body. he sincerely reminded her, just dont go overboard. be careful not to get yourself killed.. Chapter 413 - Chapter 413: Meet Him chapter 413: meet him translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations counting the cold winter, it had already entered the coldest time of the year. it was almost new years day, and the entire streets of the capital were showing signs of welcoming the new year. it had been raining all day. the sky was gloomy and colder than usual. it was also easier to be irritated. around five oclock, the frustrated pei jiao prepared to go out. she was really afraid of the cold and changed into an even thicker down jacket. she tied a rabbit fur scarf around her neck, but she was afraid of getting cold. before she went out, she went back and put on a hat. beikes car was parked outside tanhua manor, waiting for pei jiao. as pei jiao came out with an umbrella, beike recognized her from afar and immediately turned on his spotlights. pei jiao changed her hand holding the umbrella and saw beikes car. she quickened her pace and walked towards beikes car. she sat in the front passenger seat and was putting away the umbrella when she heard beike click his tongue. youre dressed very differently today. pei jiao looked up. whats different? beike said very seriously, very cute? pei jiao snorted. girls are incarnations of cuteness. its just that as they age, their style and dressing have changed. theyre still essentially cute. beike chuckled. it seems that this young master wei has given you an extraordinary blow. your mentality has changed. pei jiao could not be bothered with beikes teasing. originally, she had planned to meet wei yu herself. she had already told beike not to look for her for the next two days. however, beike insisted on meeting wei yu. pei jiao was hot-headed and actually agreed. at this moment, beike was about to start the car. his hand paused in midair for a few seconds before he turned to look at pei jiao. are you sure you want to meet wei yu? pei jiao nodded. yes, dont you want to see him too? beike: youre not calling people? pei jiao rolled her eyes at beike. i already said that in a lawful society, people have to be taught when they gather and fight. come on, you even dare to peek through the firewall to look at national secrets. compared to being caught and educated, this is life imprisonment. beike accidentally mentioned that pei jiao had done the most reckless thing when she was young. she was lucky that time. if she had made even the slightest mistake, pei jiao would be in prison now. it was not an exaggeration. pei jiao gestured for him to stop. hey, a good man doesnt talk about his past bravery. what she had done back then was indeed rash. if it were now, she would not dare to do it even if she was given a hundred guts. hurry up and drive, pei jiao said. if youre late, we might not see wei yu. the wei residence was more than ten kilometers away from the tanhua manor where the pei family lived. beike drove for more than half an hour before arriving at the wei residence. the car stopped in the distance. beike lowered the window and looked up at the majestic and ancient residence in front of him. this residence of the wei family is worth some money. pei jiao said, the wei family is also a famous family. i know. beike clicked his tongue. no wonder hes so unyielding. he dared to offend the pei family. pei jiao was speechless. beike clearly did not say anything, but it seemed like he had said everything. the rain was still falling, no less than when she had first left the house. the windshield wiper in front of her scraped back and forth. pei jiao looked away and reached out to open the door. beike stopped her. are you planning to go in just like that? pei jiao said, what else? beike: are you sure the wei family can let you in? pei jiao said, lets try. beike: is there a way? pei jiao said truthfully, no. beike: then how are you going to get in? pei jiao had already pushed open the car door and picked up the umbrella with her other hand. just be thick-skinned enough. halfway down the car, before pei jiao could hold the umbrella, beike suddenly reached out and pulled her back into the car. pei jiao fell back into her seat. she said, ouch, and almost hit her head on the gear lever. beike held the back of her head with his other hand so she didnt hit it, but she managed to sprain her waist. pei jiao bared her teeth. are you crazy? what are you doing? my waist almost cracked because of you. beike made a shushing gesture, then gestured to pei jiao with his eyes. look ahead. pei jiao retracted her bared teeth and turned her head. she looked in the direction beike had indicated. in this season, the sky darkened early. half an hours journey, the sky was getting dark. looking through the night, under the white light of the mansions door, a black cayenne slowly drove out of the side door of the wei residence. the guard walked forward and stood outside the backseat window, bending respectfully. the person in the car said something, and the guard smiled and nodded, then retreated. the cayenne slowly drove out of the mansion. from afar, pei jiaos vision was still good. from her angle, she could just see the slowly rising window of the cayenne after it drove out. she saw a young man sitting in the backseat. however, pei jiao only saw his side profile. pei jiaos gaze was still following in that direction when the cayenne drove away. beikes voice pulled pei jiaos soul back. could the person in the car be wei pei jiao suddenly turned her head and stared at beike in surprise. is he wei yu? beike: i dont know. i guessed. pei jiao had never seen wei yu when she grew up, let alone beike. the man in the back seat of the cayenne just now was especially young and had a special chauffeur. the guards attitude was also respectful, so it was very likely that that person was wei yu! pei jiao instructed beike, go over there and ask. bei ke was unhappy. why dont you go yourself? pei jiao looked at him. are you going? beike swallowed. go, go, go. beike reluctantly pushed open the car door and got out. pei jiao handed him an umbrella and reminded him, dont ask if the person in the car was wei yu just say that youre looking for wei yu. beike: got it. theres more, pei jiao said. beike turned around. what else? pei jiao shouted at the top of her voice, walk faster! beike: two minutes later, beike ran back. he opened the car door and sat in. he said to pei jiao loudly, the person in that car just now was wei yu. pei jiao said, drive and chase after the cayenne. beike: ? seeing that beike was in a daze, pei jiao reminded him, what are you waiting for? drive, or we wont be able to catch up. why didnt you say so earlier? weve come so far. it would be strange if we could catch up! beike cursed as he started the engine and drove in the direction cayenne had left. although it was a few minutes late, beikes tracking skills were very good, and he quickly locked onto the cayenne driving out of the wei residence. pei jiao stared at the car in front of her while praising beikes tracking skills. i knew you would definitely catch up. other than you, no one else has this technology. beike sneered. stop ktving me. pei jiao said, alright, ill cpu you. beike: just dont end up in the icu in the end. unexpectedly, beikes last sentence came true.. Chapter 414 - Chapter 414: Bad Fate chapter 414: bad fate translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations along the way, beike maintained a constant speed and tried not to let the car in front discover them. pei jiao was not worried at all, because beikes tracking technique was just as she had praised just now. it was indeed very powerful. no matter how long they followed, it would be very difficult to discover them! they followed him for about ten minutes. pei jiao clearly felt a little hungry. she had yet to eat dinner. when she yawned, her stomach keep rumbling. beike was focused on the movements of the car in front of him. when he heard pei jiaos stomach rumbling, he glanced at her. are you hungry? pei jiao said, i didnt eat dinner when i went out. beike chuckled and reminded her, there are snacks in the storage box in front of you. eat them to fill your stomach. when you encounter wei yu and beat him up to vent your anger, ill take you to eat a good meal. pei jiao listened to beike and opened the storage box in front of her. there were really a lot of snacks. pei jiao casually took a chocolate-flavored sachima. you actually have the habit of stuffing snacks in the storage box. why didnt i know before? beike said) thats because we used to drive motorcycles. this car is rarely driven. thats true. pei jiao took a bite of sachima. after that, she followed him for another half an hour from the city to the suburbs, from the suburbs to the remote area. bei ke finally realized that something was wrong. damn it, this place is too remote. pei jiao, who was feeling sleepy after eating her snacks, suddenly woke up when she heard beikes voice. what? where are we? beike lowered the window and spat on the remote road. we shouldnt be discovered if we keep such a distance. where is wei yu going? beike was still very confident in his tracking skills. he didnt think hed been brought to such a remote place because the other party had discovered him, but the situation forced him to think more. hey! hey! where are we now? pei jiao asked anxiously. beike: i dont know either. pei jiao said, then stop the car first. beike braked. the cayenne in front of them had already driven far away. if they looked into the distance, they could only vaguely see a cluster of white light on the narrow road in the distance. in the wilderness, beike and pei jiao were not familiar with the road. coupled with the fact that it was already dark, they could not see clearly what was going on. beike asked pei jiao, are we still chasing? pei jiao lowered half of the car window. the rain became heavier, and she kept glancing at the rain in the car. pei jiao quickly closed the car window. the rain wont stop. for safetys sake, its better not to chase it. beike clicked his tongue. if i had known that we were in a remote place just now, i would have driven to the front to stop them. its really amazing for us to follow them here where its so remote. pei jiao picked up her phone and looked at the time. its not eight yet. lets go back. beike did not turn around. instead, he asked her, are you willing to give up when you chased him all the way here? pei jiao thought for a moment. i think before she could finish, beike started the car and drove on. pei jiao realized that he had no intention of turning around and asked nervously, do you still want to continue? follow! beike looked unhappy and gritted his teeth. this person must have tricked us. pei jiao could tell that beike was very angry. she stopped him. its raining now. for safetys sake, theres no need to follow him. hes not going overseas. we can follow him again tomorrow. but at this moment, beike would not listen to anything pei jiao said. the car picked up speed and followed. pei jiao was not worried about beikes driving skills. she yawned in boredom and guessed that wei yu had most likely discovered the car behind them and deliberately lost them. therefore, it was useless to follow them now. they were probably long gone. the road ahead narrowed a lot. the ground was potholed, and the car swayed. pei jiaos heart skipped a beat. she felt that the car would flip over in the next second. she perked up a little and reminded beike, drive slowly. beike was focused on driving and did not look over. he only said, go ahead and sleep. ill wake you up when i catch up to him. pei jiao sighed in her heart. she had originally thought that her anger was the greatest, but now, her anger was transferred to beike. the car shook harder and harder. pei jiao was not only flustered, but the snacks she had just eaten were also being tossed around in her stomach, making her feel a little uncomfortable and her face a little pale. turn around. i dont think i can make it, pei jiao shouted weakly. when beike heard pei jiaos weak voice, he turned to look at her. are you alright? pei jiao shook her head. not good. my stomach feels uncomfortable. its too bumpy. seeing that pei jiao was really uncomfortable, beike quickly slowed down. however, the car suddenly slowed down and stopped in place. wait a minute. we have to go through this part of the road first. bear with it for a while. as beike spoke, he increased his speed again. pei jiao thought that it would pass after enduring it. unexpectedly, she endured it and almost died. after the car slowed down, it was stuck there and could not move. before beike could adjust his mentality, he stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out. the ground was wet and slippery, and he did not control the steering wheel well. the car rushed to the side of the road and finally flipped over. it was all too sudden. before pei jiao could even react, she felt the world spin. her head was bumped, then her shoulders, then her knees. the huge pressure pain made her unable to recover, and her head was even more dizzy. the rumbling in her ears was like thunder, mixed with beikes voice. after an unknown period of time, pei jiao felt that she should have been unconscious for a few minutes. now that she was awake again, the cold night wind blew at her face inch by inch. she felt that her hands and feet were cold and she could not move. the slightest movement hurts. beike beike, ah, hiss pei jiaos entire body ached. she called out to beike in a hoarse voice, but no one answered her. she called beikes name several times, but there was no response. she began to search for the phone in her bag. after touching it for a long time, she realized that even her coat was gone, one of her shoes had fallen off, and her hat was nowhere to be seen. she had left it somewhere. and now, she was covered in injuries, big and small. her clothes and hair were all wet. pei jiao sighed at her bad luck. if she had known, she would not have agreed to let beike follow them. she did not know where beike was, and she could not move at all. every time she moved, she would grimace in pain. she lay quietly on the ground for an unknown period of time until a cluster of white light shone over from afar. a hint of hope lit up in pei jiaos dim eyes. someone was coming. did beike come looking for her? as the footsteps approached, pei jiao felt the light on her body become stronger. he must have shone the flashlight on her. soon, she heard the person say, young master, its a person. is it dead? came a cold voice. the footsteps approached pei jiao a few steps. pei jiao felt someone kick her shoulder and frowned. hiss it hurt. that person turned around and said, young master, shes still breathing. dont worry about it. drive. the mans voice was cold, colder than the wind on this rainy night, slicing into people inch by inch like a knife. who was so heartless? since they had bumped into each other, they should at least help call 110. otherwise, would they let her stay in the wilderness for the night? it was winter and so cold. if she stayed here all the time, she would not survive until tomorrow! on the news panel, there would probably be the headlines of #a certain tycoons daughter died in the wilderness#. when that person heard his young masters words, he turned to leave. he really did not intend to care about pei jiao. pei jiao was afraid of death. she used the last of her strength to grab the persons pants and said in a hoarse voice, save me? the air was quiet for a moment. after a while, the people in the car got out. she distinctly heard the car door open. young master. the person greeted him respectfully and stepped aside. pei jiao was still tugging at the mans pants when she heard another set of footsteps. she slowly looked up and could barely see the face in the rain and fog. this face was the profile she had seen pei jiaos eyes widened in disbelief. its you? the man handed the umbrella to the person beside him and slowly squatted down. he reached out and pinched pei jiaos chin, forcing her to raise her face. the rain and mud covered half her face, and her hair was wet and scattered. she looked like a beggar. the man asked her, you know me? pei jiao bit her lip stubbornly and did not speak. she only stared at the man in front of her with hatred. the hand on her jaw suddenly pulled away. the man took out a handkerchief and wiped the stain from his hand. first time ive seen someone look at me like that in a desperate situation. interesting. bring her along.. Chapter 415 - Chapter 415: His Compassion chapter 415: his compassion translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jiao was still conscious when she was picked up. when she was about to be placed in the car, her consciousness gradually dissipated. her head was dizzy, and her vision became blurry. that was when she heard the man say throw her in the trunk. these cold words almost made pei jiao choke on a mouthful of blood. even so, she still had a trace of hope in her heart, thinking that the person holding her should not be able to bear it. if he really left her in the trunk and bumped along the bumpy road, she, who was only half alive, would die. no she bit her lip hard and forced herself to wake up. her fingertips tugged at the clothes of the person hugging her. dont-dont throw me the man ignored her words and carried her straight to the trunk. with a thud, pei jiaos head hit a protruding object. pei jiao completely fainted from the collision. oh no! ji he hadnt hugged the woman much and hadnt paid attention when he put her down. hed caused her to hit her head. ji he quickly reached out and checked the unconscious womans breathing. fortunately. shes still alive. but it might hurt her even more. ji he pulled down the trunk and walked around the car to get into the drivers seat. young master. as ji he fastened his seatbelt, he turned back to the man in the backseat. she fainted. wei yu lowered his head and was flipping through the mysterious information in his hand. when he heard this, his slender fingers paused, but he did not look up. this path is steep. if she cant withstand it, shell be sent to the funeral home if she dies. ji he said, what if shes still alive? hearing this, wei yu looked up and his gaze landed on ji hes face. what do you think? ji he speculated, send her to the hospital? wei yu: what else? ji he raised his hand to scratch the back of his head. thats good, but well have to see if she can hang on. shes quite a pretty girl. its a pity if she dies. wei yu lowered his head and continued to read. he asked casually, have you taken a fancy to her? ji he shook his head. i wouldnt dare. wei yu said calmly, why wouldnt you dare? ji he said carefully, isnt she the person you like, young master? i like her? wei yu chuckled in his throat. im just welcoming the new year. its a convenient thing to accumulate merit for the benefit of others. embarrassed, ji he turned to drive. to wei yu, saving pei jiao tonight was not only a matter of convenience, but also a trace of imperceptible compassion. but he would never admit that this trace of compassion had ever existed. the rain did not stop tonight. halfway through the drive, wei yu received a call. after learning that another piece of mysterious information had been stolen, he was furious and said in a low voice, go to the engineering department. ji he maintained a constant speed and asked nervously, young master, what happened? peril looked grim. another piece of information was stolen. ji hes expression changed drastically before he burned with anger. young master, you painstakingly brought these two documents back from overseas. what are those old things in the engineering department doing! wei yu said in a low voice, be quiet. ji he immediately shut his mouth and adjusted his route to the engineering department. more than an hour later, the cayenne slowly drove through a grand door. the uniform police officers stood in two rows, looking very apprehensive. pei jiao, who was unconscious in the trunk, did not know what kind of place she had arrived at. there were already more than ten people standing outside the car. they were wearing thick coats and holding umbrellas. some of them looked nervous, some looked worried, and some had dark expressions. after wei yu got out of the car, those people surrounded him and said something. wei yu frowned impatiently and said in a low voice, enough! as soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. ji hes hand, which was holding the umbrella for wei yu, trembled in fear. at this moment, everyone was looking at wei yu, waiting for him to say something else. however, wei yu did not say anything and walked in first. ji he strode after him. thinking of the girl still in the trunk, ji he mustered his courage and said, young master, the girl in the trunk.. wei yu stopped in his tracks. the group of people following closely behind also stopped in their tracks and looked nervously at the back of wei yu. wei yu glanced sideways at ji he. go make the arrangements. ji he was anxious. young master, i however, wei yu, who left behind this sentence, had already walked far. he walked a little faster, and the people behind almost couldnt catch up. ji he held the umbrella and returned to the car. at this moment, a police officer had already come to help park the car. ji he called the police officer in front of him. help me hold the umbrella. with that, he handed the umbrella to the police officer. the police officer did not know what was going on and did not ask. he stood obediently beside ji he with an umbrella. ji he reached out and opened the trunk. the girl was curled up in the trunk, her body wet and disheveled. the police officer didnt see her clearly at first until ji he turned on the flashlight on his cell phone and shone the white light in. then he reached out and pushed the hair away from the girls face. a pale face appeared in front of them. the officers expression changed slightly. a dead man? ji he was not sure if the girl was dead or not. he reached out and touched the side of the girls neck, then his expression relaxed. shes alive. call the people from the infirmary over. ji he instructed as he picked up the girl in the trunk. the police officer was also very worried. if a dead person was really brought in, it would be even more troublesome to verify. when he saw that she was not dead) and even asked the infirmary over, the police officer did not think much of it. he turned around with an umbrella and ran towards the infirmary. when ji he saw that the umbrella was taken away by the police officer, he almost laughed out of anger. however, he thought that since she had been drenched for so long, there should be no problem for a while. he carried the girl and walked straight to the dormitory building at the back. finally, pei jiao was carried into a clean and tidy living room. because her clothes were wet and dirty, ji he did not put her directly on the bed. not long after, the police officer rushed over with the people from the infirmary. it was a male doctor. ji he handed the girl to the male doctor. treat the wounds on her body and pay attention to check if there are any signs of internal injuries. the doctor glanced at the girl on the sofa, then asked carefully, this is? ji he was about to find an excuse to brush it off when the police officer behind him said, its young master weis woman. ji he glared at the police officer. the police officer thought that he had guessed wrong, so he said, but this is young master weis usual living room. this sentence immediately shut ji he up. when he carried the girl up to this floor just now, he had done it completely subconsciously because the young master usually lived on this floor. he had not realized it just now. after the police officers reminder, he realized what he had done. he actually brought her to young masters room. when the doctor heard that she was young master weis woman, he immediately put down the medicine box. dont worry, leave it to me. ji he wanted to explain, but then he remembered that young master probably wouldnt be back tonight. there were a lot of overwrought matters over there. not only tonight, but young master would probably be there all day tomorrow. with this thought in mind, ji he couldnt be bothered to explain.. Chapter 416 - Chapter 416: White and Long Legs chapter 416: white and long legs translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jiao was lying on the sofa. she was wet and dirty, and there were many wounds on her body. although she was not bleeding, she still looked shocking. the doctor had nowhere to start for a moment. in addition, this was young master weis woman, so the doctor was even more cautious. hence, he looked up and said to ji he, we have to call a woman over and help her change her clothes. also, wipe her body. otherwise, itll be easy to get infected after the wound is treated. sure. ji he turned to let the police officer go. it was inconvenient for him to stand here, so he went out too. he left the doctor inside and treated some of the larger wounds for the girl first to prevent infection and fever. outside the window, the rain subsided, and soon the cold wind was blowing again, gusts of it cutting like knives against his cheeks. ji he rubbed his numb cheeks as a voice came from behind him. ji he. ji he turned around and saw the person who came out. he nodded and shouted, mrs. lin. mrs. lins name was wen qiong, and she was the wife of minister lin of the engineering department. she was already 40 years old, but she looked very young, dignified, and gentle. wen qiong occasionally came to the engineering department to stay. she had been here for two days and had yet to leave. just now, he could not find a suitable person to change pei jiaos clothes. coincidentally, wen qiong was still awake at this time. ji he could only go over personally and trouble wen qiong to come over. wen qiong said to ji he, when i came, the doctor had already treated the wounds. so far, it doesnt seem to be infected, but its hard to say if shell have a fever in the latter half of the night. someone has to guard her. ji he replied, ill guard her. since young master had handed her over to him, he could not ignore her. mrs. lin, ill send you back. ji he turned around and gestured for wen qiong to walk in front. wen qiong nodded dignifiedly. when she walked past ji he, she stopped in her tracks. the dignified look she had maintained a second ago turned into a gossipy face the next second. she leaned over and asked ji he, whats the relationship between the girl inside and wei yu? ji he choked. unexpectedly, mrs. lin suddenly became nosy and he stammered, she-she has nothing to do with young master. wen qiong smelled something wrong. nothing to do with him. then why are you hemming and hawing? ji he was stunned. he didnt know why he was hemming and hawing, so he replied to mrs. lin, shes a girl young master picked up on the way. at that time, he saw that she was still breathing, so he took her away and prepared to send her to the hospital. unexpectedly, something happened in the engineering department, so he came over and brought her here. wen qiong was skeptical. really? ji he nodded. of course its true. until now, young master and i dont even know her name. well treat it as doing a good thing. wen qiong snorted and looked like she had seen through it. could it be that hes lustful? otherwise, why would he be such a good person? ji he was speechless. this he actually couldnt refute this. it was his fault for being so single-minded. he was indeed not as meticulous as mrs. lin thought. normally, why would young master care about such things? could it be that he was really tempted by lust? no, no, no, no. ji he recalled the girls pale face and dirty appearance. shes so dirty that i cant tell what she looks like. its impossible for young master to be tempted by lust. she might be an ugly monster. shes not ugly. wen qiongs tone was meaningful. shes a little beauty. ji he did not believe it. wen qiong pointed inside. if you dont believe me, go in and take a look yourself. ji he walked in skeptically. the clock on the wall showed that it was ten-thirty and very late. when ji he came in, he raised his hand and fanned the smell of mud in front of him. the dirty clothes she had changed out of the girls body were all in the trash can. that was why the smell of mud had not dissipated. inside was a very large bed. ji he took a few steps and stopped. he looked at the girl lying on the bed in a daze. perhaps because her body had warmed up, her face was no longer as pale as before. there was some color. and that face looked as if it had been sculpted. even in her morbid state, her features were still exquisite. mrs. lin was not joking with him. the girl that young master had casually picked up was really beautiful. wen qiong walked over from behind ji he. she crossed her arms and asked ji he, what happened to her to hurt her so badly? ji he stared blankly at the sleeping beauty on the bed and replied absent-mindedly, im not too sure either. wen qiong coughed lightly. ahem! ji he came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure in front of mrs. lin. he raised his hand and scratched the back of his head to hide his embarrassment. wen qiong smiled and said, now i can tell that she was indeed picked up by you guys today. otherwise, why wouldnt your eyes move after seeing her clean up?! ji he continued to laugh dryly. i told you i wasnt lying. wen qiong said, yes, you didnt lie. then answer again. how did she get injured like this? this, i really dont know! ji he said truthfully. we met her on the way back from elder weis place. when we saw that she was still alive, we took her away. seeing that ji he had said that twice, wen qiong believed him. she looked up at the clock on the wall and turned to ji he. its late. watch over her. its fine if she doesnt have a fever in the latter half of the night. if she does, give her an injection. this is the medicine. as she spoke, wen qiong showed the medicine in the medicine box to ji he. ji he nodded at first, then thought of something and quickly asked, mrs. lin, did you change her clothes after wiping her down? do not look at what is contrary to propriety wen qiong burst out laughing. if i dont change her, will i let her wrap herself in the blanket just like that? dont worry, i took a shirt from wei yus closet and put it on her for the time being. ill send her another set of my clothes tomorrow. wear young masters clothes? ji he looked stunned. wen qiong glanced sideways at ji heo no? alright. after ji he received wen qiongs gaze, he did not dare to have any objections. call me if anything happens. if you cant call me, call the infirmary. nothing can happen to her. wen qiong instructed as she walked out with her hands in her pockets. ji he replied loudly, got it. after wen qiong left, ji he sat down on the sofa. he crossed his arms and sat in a serious posture, not sleepy at all. however, this vigilance did not last long. after a while, he fell asleep. pei jiao really had a fever in the latter half of the night. but ji he didnt know. pei jiao was dizzy from the fever. she rolled over a few times and continued to be dizzy. when wei yu returned, he was covered in cold air. he pushed the door open and entered. ji he, who was sleeping on the sofa, was still in his dream. he ignored ji he and walked straight to the bathroom. as he passed the bed, he suddenly stopped and glanced sideways at the large bed he had slept in before. there was a woman lying on the big bed. the woman was wearing his shirt and the blanket had been kicked away. her fair and slender legs were draped over the blanket. she was beautiful and eye-catching.. Chapter 417 - Chapter 417: Taking Advantage of Others! Beast! chapter 417: taking advantage of others! beast! translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations wei yus adams apple moved slightly. realizing his reaction, he quickly looked away from her fair legs. but after a moment, his gaze returned to her. her cheeks were flushed, and her collar was wide open. her exposed skin was suffused with a faint blush. those fair and slender legs were moving restlessly on the blanket. she was hot, and abnormally hot wei yu slowly walked to the bed and his deep gaze landed on her. then, he leaned over and placed his hand on her forehead. when the extremely hot temperature reached the back of his hand, wei yus expression darkened. he was already a little frustrated that his bed had been occupied when he came back to rest. at this moment, he still had to worry about the life and death of this unfamiliar woman. he walked to the cabinet, opened the medicine box, and searched for fever medicine. the fever-reducing medicine on the surface was very eye-catching. the syringe was beside it. wei yu took the medicine and the syringe. he turned around and walked towards the woman on the bed. she was hot. her limbs were moving restlessly, but only minimally. on closer inspection, her forehead was covered in thin sweat. wei yu held the syringe in one hand and threw back the covers with the other. as soon as he lifted it, the scene in front of him assaulted his vision, but he quickly stabilized his mind and continued to pull down her collar. pei jiao was already confused by the fever and did not know how to cooperate. she would rub against whichever side was cooler. when wei yus hand touched pei jiaos skin, pei jiao subconsciously took the initiative to lean over and hug his hand before pressing her cheek against his palm. she was very obedient and soft. wei yu: he looked down. there were green patches on her exposed shoulders and on her arms. he didnt know if there were any on her legs and the back of her stomach under the blanket. seeing that most of the superficial wounds on her body had been treated, she could twist and flip now. it seemed that she did not have any internal injuries. wei yu retracted his hand and pressed it against her arm instead. she struggled slightly, and her collar opened again. wei yu quickly looked away. but he knew very well that once he looked away, he wouldnt be able to get an injection. hence, wei yu turned around with a cold expression. so what if he saw it? she wouldnt know. with this in mind, wei yu began to inject her with a fever-reducing needle. the moment the needle pierced her skin, pei jiao bit her lip and let out a whimper. she frowned. an idea came to wei yu. its fine, he whispered comfortingly. this voice was much gentler than usual. it really miraculously comforted her. even her frown slowly relaxed, and she became much more obedient. after the fever-reducing needle was injected, wei yu pulled the blanket over her. he was about to get up when he paused. then he looked down and saw the hand that had reached out from under the blanket and was holding his little finger. she didnt have much strength left. her grip wasnt heavy. he could shake her off easily. however, he did not shake off her hand immediately. he slowly leaned over and looked at her face up close. after staring at her for a moment, his thin lips parted as if he was talking to himself. have we met somewhere before? pei jiao could not hear him, and her consciousness was already deep. when ji he came in with a yawn, he saw his young master kneeling on one knee on the bed and leaning down, very close to the girl on the bed. this position and the angle ji he looked at told him that young master was kissing that girl no! perhaps he was forcing a kiss on the girl! fuck! what a beast! taking advantage of the situation! young master! ji he said. wei yu was distracted and did not hear ji he enter until ji hes voice suddenly came. he suddenly stood up and turned his head, his cold gaze landing on ji he. startled, ji he stepped back. i wont disturb you anymore. continue, continue.. Chapter 418 - Chapter 418: Inexplicable Jealousy chapter 418: inexplicable jealousy translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations wei yu got out of bed with a dark expression and shouted in a low voice, stop! ji he immediately took root and did not dare to take another step forward. he raised his hand to cover his eyes. young master, i didnt see anything. i swear i really didnt see you pressed against her wei yus expression became uglier and uglier. ji he also realized that his words were making things worse and quickly shut his mouth. he didnt dare speak again. he only stole a glance at the girl on the bed from the corner of his eye. he couldnt see anything but half a leg sticking out of the blanket. what are you looking at? wei yus cold voice came, startling ji he. he quickly looked away and stammered, young master, i-i-i didnt look at anything. f*ck! that was scary! the young masters gaze on him just now was so vicious. wei yu leaned over and unobtrusively pulled at the corner of the blanket on the girls body, covering half of her exposed leg. when ji he saw young master tuck the girl in, mrs. lins words suddenly appeared in his mind. young master had been lustful from the beginning. even the mud and dirt on her face could not stop young masters sharp eyes!!! ji he walked over and asked in a low voice, young master, can you recover the stolen information? wei yu: wait. ji he understood the meaning of the word wait. he did not know the time or the outcome. his men had already been sent out to search in all directions, waiting for the time to retrieve that important information. noticing the redness in the young masters eyes, ji he realized that it was already the middle of the night. the bed was occupied tonight, and the young master did not seem to have anywhere to rest. just as ji he scratched his head and was thinking about how to resolve it, he heard the young master ask him, why did you bring her back to my room? ji he panicked and explained calmly, im afraid shell freeze to death. wei yu glanced sideways and said in a cold voice, afraid shell freeze to death? ji he quickly explained, there are few people living in this building at the back. the other rooms need cleaning. when i picked her up from the trunk, she was already on her last breath. i was afraid she wouldnt make it, so, so wei yu: so you put her on my bed? ji he lowered his head and said in a much softer voice, yes. wei yu walked out from beside ji he and walked towards the bathroom. before he left, he threw a sentence to ji he. go clean the other rooms. ji he had a bitter expression. young master, its already late at night. why dont we make do for the night and wait for tomorrow? wei yu paused and turned around. you also know that its the middle of the night? also, not only did you bring her to my house without permission, but you didnt take her away before i came back. ji he, do you want to quit? ji he was already used to the young masters angry side. he explained, i just didnt expect you to come back tonight. wei yu sneered. i dont need to rest? ji he shook his head violently. no, no. young master, even if youre made of iron, you have to rest. its my negligence. wei yu: then why arent you going? go, go, go. ill go now. young master, calm down first. ill tidy up the other room immediately. although ji he was used to wei yu throwing a tantrum, this was only a tantrum. if he was really angry, he would lose his job. after ji he went out, wei yu went to the closet and took a change of clothes. as he turned around, he inadvertently glanced at the bed. the fever-reducing needle worked quickly. she was much more well-behaved now. at least she wouldnt toss and turn, and her sleeping posture had become obedient. he retracted his gaze and went to the bathroom. ji he went next door. there were bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, but it was so late, it was best not to be so troublesome, so ji he chose to clean next door without hesitation. after cleaning up, ji he came to report. wei yu did not let ji he carry the girl on the bed to the next door. instead, he moved in next door himself. although the facilities next door were all the same, the bed couldnt compare to the silk bedsheets on the other side. coupled with the fact that no one had lived there for a long time, there was always a smell of dust in the air, so wei yu didnt sleep well that night. the air after the winter rain was filled with the chill of frost. there was a mist on the window, and the sitting room was very quiet, but the silence didnt last long. the sound of a cup hitting the floor shattered the mornings quiet. pei jiao sat on the bed in a daze. when she woke up, she felt as if her throat had been burned by fire. she opened her mouth but could not make a sound. she was extremely thirsty. she endured the intense pain all over her body and got up to find water. when she saw a glass of water on the bedside table, she reached for it without thinking. in the end, she didnt get the cup and knocked it over. she watched helplessly as the cup fell to the ground. her reaction was blank. she remained silent for half a minute. then she slowly raised her head and looked around the room at the decor and furnishings. it wasnt a hospital. where is she? just as pei jiao was confused about where she was, the sound of the cup falling to the ground was very crisp. wen qiong, who was at the staircase, heard the sound and quickened her pace. wen qiong rarely jogged like this. when she reached the door, she was already panting. after calming down a little, she pushed the door open and entered. she saw that the girl who had been picked up by wei yu last night had already woken up. she sat on the bed looking around in confusion. when the door opened, she looked at her in confusion. seeing that she was fine, wen qiong quickly adjusted her posture and walked in leisurely. she stopped by the bed and quietly sized up the girls appearance after waking up. her taste was right. she was indeed a little beauty. however, after waking up, she looked a little familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before. wen qiong couldnt remember for a moment. she picked up the unbroken cup from the floor and placed it on the bedside table. then she sat down and asked, whats your name? pei jiao pursed her lips and did not answer. just now, when wen qiong quietly sized up pei jiao, pei jiao was also looking at wen qiong. pei jiao wanted to ask who this unfamiliar woman was, but before she could speak, she was asked about her. pei jiao was vigilant. coupled with the scene of last nights encounter, she did not know her current situation. she thought about it. she wasnt going to tell this strange woman shed met for the first time her name. she wanted to ask where she was, but realized she couldnt make a sound. woo yi..? pei jiao thought it was because of the phlegm in her throat after sleeping the night. she coughed twice and cleared her throat. when she tried to pronounce the words again, her mouth opened. woo ah, i her throat hurt. she still couldnt make a complete and clear sound. she clutched her neck, her brow furrowed. her expression looked pained. wen qiong naturally saw through her pain and quickly went forward to comfort her anxious heart because she could not speak. you had a high fever last night. your throat might be inflamed. you need to rest well now. pei jiao suddenly looked up at the unfamiliar woman who was comforting her. wen qiong made a shushing gesture. dont speak. dont you want your voice to recover? if you forcefully make a sound and destroy your vocal cords, you wont be able to speak in the future. pei jiao couldnt take the shock and immediately shut her mouth.. Chapter 419 - Chapter 419: Hugging Her chapter 419: hugging her translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jiao couldnt make a sound, so she gestured, trying to let the other party know what she was trying to say. but after gesturing twice, she didnt know how to continue, because she hadnt learned sign language. dont be anxious. ill try to guess what you want to say. if im right, nod. if im wrong, shake your head. is that okay? wen qiong was very gentle and patient as she coaxed pei jiao to calm down. pei jiao nodded obediently, indicating that she could. wen qiong said, wait a moment. ill get you a glass of water. pei jiao nodded again. a moment later, wen qiong came to the bed with a cup of water. she handed it to pei jiao and said, its a little hot. drink it slowly. pei jiao took it and opened her mouth to thank her. the burning pain in her throat reminded her again that she could not make a sound. she lowered her head and did as this unfamiliar woman said. she held the glass of water and slowly blew on it to drink. pei jiaos throat felt much better as she took small sips of warm water. however, recovery was not something that this cup of water could resolve. it would probably take two or three days to fully recover with the help of medicine. forget it. as long as she survived, the rest was trivial. she just didnt know how beike was doing now. she hoped that he was lucky and fine. he might still be looking for her. that would be best. do you want to know why youre here? wen qiong saw that the little girl was in a daze and probed softly. pei jiao looked up at the unfamiliar and gentle woman in front of her in a daze. although she looked very young, when pei jiao thought of her mothers face, she could tell from the womans clothes and her hands that she was about the same age as her mother. wen qiong saw the little girl staring at her in a daze and asked with a smile, you didnt nod or shake your head. are you resisting me and unwilling to communicate with me? pei jiao shook her head and tightened her grip on the glass of water. wen qiong understood the little girls expression and continued to ask, do you want to know why youre here? pei jiao nodded. wen qiong explained, you were picked up. pei jiaos eyes widened. her expression was clearly asking, who picked me up? wen qiong said, youll see him later. pei jiao was silent for a moment, then nodded. seeing that the young ladys emotions were not fluctuating much, wen qiong stopped asking. she looked down and stopped at the gauze on her body that had been treated. after the night, some of the gauze was a little crooked, and some of it was still intact. the medicine had been applied on the bruises, but they would have to be applied again in the morning. wen qiong retracted her gaze and stood up to get the medicine box. pei jiao looked at the medicine box warily. wen qiong saw it and said gently, ill apply the medicine for you. your wound will heal faster. pei jiao blinked. she quickly finished the half cup of water. wen qiong took the cup and placed it aside. she rummaged through the medical kit and found the medicine. she began to apply the medicine for the young lady. pei jiao was very cooperative and obediently watched wen qiong apply the medicine for her. as her wounds were getting reapplied, she suddenly realized that her clothes had been changed. it was a loose shirt, and it seemed to belong to a man. pei jiao grabbed the corner of the shirt for wen qiong to see, her expression anxious and flustered. wen qiong couldnt help but laugh and explain, this is the shirt of the person who picked you up. its clean. pei jiao tugged at the corner of her shirt, her expression even more anxious. she wanted to express herself, but the pain in her throat made her have no choice but to make an anxious expression. wen qiong asked, do you want to know who changed your clothes? pei jiao nodded. wen qiong said, its me. pei jiao heaved a sigh of relief. fortunately, her virginity was still there. wen qiong thought of something and added, but you had a fever last night. i wasnt around. i heard from ji he that he gave you a fever-reducing shot. pei jiao. although this unfamiliar woman in front of her had never said who the person who had picked her up was, pei jiao could vaguely guess that that person should bewei yu! the person she met last night was wei yu. she recognized it from the side of her face. dont be afraid. hes a gentleman. he wont do anything to you. this room was originally his. after he gave you the injection last night, he went to stay next door. wen qiong tried her best to portray the best image of wei yu in front of pei jiao. if they were to matchmake, the two of them would probably succeed in the future. wen qiong thought happily. pei jiao shook her head to show that she did not mind. because she could not speak and her entire body was in pain, pei jiao needed a good rest. wen qiong did not disturb her for too long. it was only when wen qiong was about to leave that pei jiao remembered that after interacting with her for so long, she still did not know her name and identity. however, before she could ask, she had already left. pei jiao lay in a daze for the entire morning. no one came to visit her. when she was thirsty, she got up to pour herself some water. after drinking the water, she continued to sleep. someone brought lunch and medicine at noon. the food was very light and she couldnt eat it. she tried a few mouthfuls and pushed it to the side. after that, she obediently took the medicine. she wanted to get better quickly. she was so bored in the afternoon that she found a book on the cabinet and opened it to relieve her boredom. after an unknown period of time, she flipped through it and fell asleep again. when she woke up again, she woke up in a daze. she sat cross-legged on the sofa. when she opened her eyes, she could vaguely see a tall figure standing in front of the cabinet. pei jiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. at this moment, the man in front of the cabinet took the documents on the table and was about to leave. pei jiao wanted to stop him, but she could not make a complete sound. just as she was about to get up anxiously, the book on her fell to the ground with a clatter. the man who was about to leave stopped and turned to look at her. pei jiao bent down to pick up the book, but she lost her balance and fell off the sofa. she landed on her knees, her face contorted with pain as she let out a low whimper of pain. wei yu closed his eyes and put down the book in resignation. he returned and picked up the little woman who had fallen to the ground. pei jiao, who had yet to understand the pain, suddenly felt extremely insecure. she wrapped her arms tightly around wei yus neck. wei yu paused and looked down at her. they were too close. his chin brushed the tip of her nose, and wei yu quickly looked away, cursing himself for being crazy to hold her. how could he do such abnormal behavior! even when he came back, he could have asked ji he to help him get the information, but he insisted on coming back to get it himself. seeing that she was sleeping quietly on the sofa, he actually subconsciously lightened his footsteps. to hell with lust. hed never lusted after anyone in his life. wei yus face was cold as he carried pei jiao to the bed. he was distraught and threw her onto the bed roughly. pei jiao frowned in pain. she looked like she was about to cry. when wei yu saw her expression and realized what he had just done, he was a little annoyed. he told himself it was his conscience that wouldnt let him go. thats why he bent down to her. is everything okay? his voice was low and cold, hitting her directly in the heart. pei jiao slowly raised her head when she heard this. tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked pitiful. when wei yu saw this, his adams apple bobbed. he cursed in his heart and said with restraint, sorry. pei jiao was stunned. her grievance and pity were really because of the pain. of course, she didnt have a hint of pretentiousness and cried at the drop of a hat. so combined it together, she would have become what wei yu had just seen. and she realized that wei yu didnt seem to know who she was yet! Chapter 420 - Chapter 420: You ‘re Youyou ‘s Brother chapter 420: you re youyou s brother translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the treatment on yaoyao has been very good these few days. he was no longer alone for fifteen to sixteen hours a day like before. now, even if li xiwu and pei jingzhou were not in the lu residence, he would take the initiative to talk to boyuan. especially today, which happened to be a sunday. boyuan had been remembering how many words yaoyao had taken the initiative to say to her today since morning. when li xiwu arrived at the lu residence with the crystal dumplings she had made in the morning, boyuan immediately told li xiwu about the change in yaoyao. this is really a surprise. li you, do you know? yaoyao took the initiative to speak five sentences to me this morning! five sentences! this kind of situation was really rare. it had to be known that yaoyao would not take the initiative to say a word before. it was very difficult for him to barely speak. li xiwu could tell that boyuan was really happy and excited, and her heart was the same as bo yuans. she bent down to change her shoes and asked briskly, what did yaoyao say to you? boyuan couldnt hide the joy on her face. yaoyao came out of the room and told me that he had already tidied up the blanket. i was stunned, thinking that he just suddenly wanted to say something to let me know that he was up. but after a while, he came to tell me that his slippers were a little short. i was stunned because i really couldnt tell that his slippers didnt fit these few days. hearing this, li xiwu pursed her lips slightly and said in a self-reproachful tone, i didnt notice this problem either. dont blame yourself. we didnt notice. besides, if you dont say it yourself, itll be very difficult for others to know. boyuan pulled li xiwu in and said as she walked, now that yaoyao took the initiative to say it, it proves that this is the most obvious effect of the treatment. indeed, compared to the previous state of yaoyao, the current yaoyao was closer and closer to the state of a normal child. li xiwu looked around and did not see the two children. where are yaoyao and little jingzhe? in the childrens room. by the way boyuan thought of something and the smile on her lips became even brighter. yaoyao even took the initiative to teach little jingzhe to restore the rubiks cube today. li xiwu said, looks like hes very happy today. boyuan realized something and asked, did you say something to him yesterday? li xiwu nodded. yes, i told yaoyao that im taking him out to play today. no wonder! boyuan immediately understood. the performance of yaoyao today is not only an improvement after treatment, but also what you said to him last night. hes looking forward to it, which is why hes so happy today. li xiwu guessed so too. boyuans gaze landed on the thermos box in li xiwus hand. she asked in surprise, what delicious food did you make today? li xiwu picked up the thermos box and showed it to boyuan. crystal dumplings. lets try them together later. boyuan licked her lips and rubbed her hands. then i wont stand on ceremony. your culinary skills are my pursuit. li xiwu lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. recently, she had come over every day to accompany yaoyao for psychological treatment. boyuan was clearly happy and couldnt wait for her to stay here so that she wouldnt have to run back and forth every day. however, to li xiwu, coming here every day was always a little troublesome for the lu family. but it had to be troublesome because yaoyao was here. so now she came over every day with either a portion of the good food shed made herself or taught boyuan to make it. this was her way of thanking her. oh, right. its sunday today. why didnt you bring youyou along? after talking for a long time, boyuan realized that li xiwu had come alone today. li xiwu placed the thermos box on the dining table and explained, its almost the end of the year, and the companys annual meeting is being prepared, so i attend every morning meeting and leave early. hes at home today. hell pick us up with youyou later. i plan to bring yaoyao out to play today. people are the happiest when they go out to play. i want to go out to play, too. boyuans face was filled with envy. li xiwu said, lets go together. forget it. boyuan was very self-conscious. next time. today is the first time li xiwu asked seriously, are you really not going? boyuan shook her head and said with a smile, lu jia previously accepted a parent-child variety show. isnt it sunday today? the organizers have arranged for us to do an interview today. li xiwu asked, is it the parent-child variety show produced and released by nanjia? im not very sure about that. only lu jia knows. i only know that the name of the variety show is wonderful little time. anyway, its a parent-child variety show, boyuan said. when li xiwu heard the name of this variety show, she remembered that director gao had called her previously and invited her to participate in this parent-child variety show. unexpectedly, boyuan and lu jia participated. as she was thinking, she heard boyuan say, when we agreed to accept this variety show, lu jia and i had originally thought of bringing yaoyao along. because yaoyao had just arrived at our house during that period, he was in a very bad mood. however, now that li xiwu and pei jingzhou had acknowledged yaoyao, boyuan did not plan to bring yaoyao on the variety show again. this wasnt appropriate. but if boyuan suddenly looked at li xiwu. have you and mr. pei considered participating in the parent-child variety show? li xiwu told boyuan the truth, the director had already invited us before, but we had just picked youyou up at that time and didnt want to expose her too much, so we rejected him. thats true. boyuan nodded in agreement. the reason why she suggested it was because she wanted li xiwu to go to this variety show too. she would have someone to accompany her. it couldnt be helped. she liked li xiwu too much. all she could think was that she would be everywhere. li xiwu smiled back. but ill think about it again. boyuan looked very happy. then consider it carefully with mr. pei. if you participate, i wont be bored. the matter regarding the parent-child variety show, li xiwu did not immediately mention it in front of pei jingzhou. she was only considering it now. she hoped that yaoyao would have more fresh and interesting contact, so she had yet to completely decide if she wanted to participate. half an hour later, pei jingzhou came over with youyou. pei jingzhou put youyou down. youyou asked where her brother was because her father had been telling her along the way that she was coming to see her brother today. so youyou asked her brother where he was as soon as she came in. li xiwu pointed at the childrens room. brother is inside, and so is little jingzhe. youyou smiled happily and quickly ran towards the childrens room. li xiwu only retracted her gaze when she saw youyou enter the childrens room. she looked up at pei jingzhou. theres something happy. pei jingzhou could feel li xiwus joy and asked curiously, what is it? li xiwu told pei jingzhou what boyuan had told her when she came over today.. Chapter 421 - Chapter 421: A Family Photo of the Four chapter 421: a family photo of the four translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jingzhou remained calm. its indeed something to be happy about. yes, this dr. xu is very impressive. yaoyaos current good condition is all thanks to him. li xiwu felt that after yaoyao completely recovered, she had to thank dr. xu. pei jingzhou knew what li xiwu was thinking. dont worry, ill arrange it. li xiwu nodded and said, ill go over and take a look. pei jingzhou nodded. in the childrens room. as soon as youyou entered, she ran to yaoyao and hugged him in the most enthusiastic way possible before giving him a fierce kiss. little jingzhe immediately leaned over. and me, and youyou didnt let go. she hugged little jingzhe and kissed her. this is called treating everyone equally. little jingzhe laughed out loud. i know, i know. mommy kissed me and will kiss my father. she also said it was called this treating everyone equally. youyous eyes curved into crescents. my mother, too. yaoyao listened silently at the side, looking envious. youyou turned around and hugged yaoyao. brother, did you miss me? yaoyao was stunned at first, but right on the heels of that, he raised his hand and rubbed the cheek that youyou had kissed. although he didnt answer youyou, he didnt push her away. youyou was unhappy that she didnt get a response. she shook yaoyaos arm. did you miss youyou? did you? from yaoyaos expression, it was obvious that he was a little frustrated, but even so, he did not push youyou away. he only said in a muffled voice, why should i miss you? youyou smiled like a sunflower. because mom and dad said that youyou is your sister and you are youyous brother. yaoyaos face tensed. he turned to look at youyou, who was hugging his arm and refusing to let go. he hesitated for a moment before saying, i wasnt born your brother. its because your parents like me that im your brother. these words were completely unlike the words of a four-year-old child. to be able to say such a thing, he had to be at least seven or eight years old. but this sentence really came from yaoyaos mouth. li xiwu heard it with her own ears outside the door. she was not in a hurry to come in because she did not want to disturb the warm scene of the siblings who had not seen each other for five days. she looked at youyous blissful face as she pestered yaoyao. but she had never expected yaoyao to say such a thing to youyou. her heart also hurt from yaoyaos words. youyou didnt quite understand the meaning of that sentence just now. she answered in the way she understood, but mom and dad will always like you. yaoyaos tense face softened visibly. i try my best to be obedient, to become what they like, because i hope they can always like me. these words were clearly expressed in a happy tone by yaoyao. but no matter how one listened, it sounded a little lonely. li xiwu felt a lump in her throat. she was afraid that she would lose her composure if she went in like this, so she wanted to leave and go to the bathroom to adjust her emotions. she turned around and saw pei jingzhou walking over. all the emotions on her face could not escape pei jingzhous eyes. before he got close, he could tell that she had lost her composure. instead of asking immediately what had happened, he took her hand first to the terrace. when there was no one else around, pei jingzhou pulled li xiwu into his arms. did you hear or see anything? li xiwu was not a sentimental person. her emotions had always been very stable outside, but she had indeed not controlled them well just now. she leaned into pei jingzhous arms. i ignored what dr. xu said that day. he said that children with autism are very sensitive and will be a few years more mature than their actual age. pei jingzhou asked sharply, so what did yaoyao say just now? li xiwu nodded. hes being obedient now to please us. he even said that because we like him, hes youyous brother. pei jingzhou was silent. this was indeed not something a four-year-old child could say. as dr. xu had said, a child with such a condition would always be a few years more mature than their actual age. li xiwu withdrew from pei jingzhous arms. she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. yaoyao is becoming more and more dependent and trusting of us. this is a good thing, but theres always a chasm in his heart. this chasm keeps him awake at all times. he thinks that only by pretending to be obedient will he be liked by us. if this continues, he will always think that we like him because hes obedient. no, this cant go on. i have to let yaoyao know that hes our baby. we love him very much. pei jingzhou raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from her eyes. since he has made up his mind, its useless to tell him. we can only do something else to make him believe that we love him unconditionally. li xiwu took a deep breath. i have a plan, but well talk about it when we get back. pei jingzhou nodded. okay. around ten oclock, pei jingzhou and li xiwu left with yaoyao and youyou. the world of children was very pure. they loved lively places. pei jingzhou had booked a zoo and an aquarium, as well as the valley of happiness. the valley of happiness was very attractive to youyou. that was the first place she wanted to go. at this moment, yaoyao casually asked, is the next place an aquarium? li xiwu nodded. yes, the aquarium. yaoyao, do you want to go to the aquarium first? before yaoyao could answer, youyou raised her hand. i want to go to the aquarium too. pei jingzhou asked, youre not going to the valley of happiness? youyou giggled, revealing a row of white teeth. youyou will go wherever brother goes. li xiwu and pei jingzhou looked at each other and smiled. okay, lees go to the aquarium first. for most children aged four or five, the aquarium and zoo were the most attractive places. there were all kinds of small animals and all kinds of fish visible through the thick glass, especially great white sharks and whales. youyous non-stop wow sound was heard the entire time. most of the laughter was also coming from youyou. yaoyao was also very happy. although he did not laugh as much as youyou, the smile on his face did not disappear. in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, pei jingzhou and li xiwu walked behind the two children with masks on. li xiwu held pei jingzhous arm and said with a gentle smile, ive never felt so happy in my life. pei jingzhou said, i have a son, a daughter, and a wife. not only this moment, it will be perfect in the future, too. li xiwu smiled. yes, youre right. not only now, but also in the future. when they passed by a four-meter tall arched glass wall, an uncle who was taking photos walked over and asked the two of them if they wanted to take photos. li xiwu had this thought and asked pei jingzhou to communicate about the photo style first. she went to youyou and yaoyao and asked, do you want to take a photo together? youyou danced. take photos, take yaoyao hesitated. take a photo? us? li xiwu nodded. yes, lets take a family photo together.. Chapter 422 - Chapter 422: Bring Yaoyao Home chapter 422: bring yaoyao home translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations when taking the photo, yaoyao stood in front of li xiwu cooperatively. he stood properly, and his expression was obedient. youyou always relied on yaoyao, even when taking photos. she had to hold yaoyaos hand and be very close to him. the uncle was still adjusting his angle. facing this handsome family of four, for the first time, the uncle was worried that his photography skills would not be able to capture this beautiful scene. as the uncle adjusted his angle, pei jingzhou looked sideways at li xiwu and whispered into her ear, ive imagined this scene many times. li xiwu looked up and met his gentle gaze. dont fantasize anymore. when youre bored, look at the photos taken today. they both took off their masks for the photo. there were few people passing by at this moment. even if some passersby stopped and turned around, li xiwu did not care about being watched because this moment was really rare. there was a gentle smile on her lips. as she smiled, pei jingzhou slowly said to her thank you. li xiwu raised her eyebrows with a surprised expression. huh? pei jingzhou leaned over and kissed li xiwus forehead. thank you for letting me have everything i once imagined. li xiwu said, at this moment? pei jingzhous dark eyes were filled with determination. at this moment. li xiwu blinked. youre welcome, mr. pei. the uncle was mesmerized by the atmosphere at this moment. afraid that he would miss this moment because he was distracted, he quickly took a photo. ok! the photo uncle raised his hand and made an ok gesture. its perfect. youre going to love todays photos. the uncle took down the camera and admired the photos he had just taken. he was very satisfied. there was only one photo. this one was more memorable than many. the uncle quickly took out the photo and handed it to li xiwu in an envelope. he praised, youre the best-looking family of four ive seen in so long. at this point, he paused and looked at li xiwu. i keep feeling that you look a little familiar. i feel like ive seen you somewhere before. li xiwu smiled faintly. perhaps its because ive been to the aquarium before and you happened to see me once, so you find me familiar. the uncle tried to remember carefully, but he couldnt remember if he had seen her at the aquarium. afraid of delaying the photo-washing, he said, probably. then he took the photo to wash it. it wouldnt take long to wash the photos. and there was only one photo. it could be done in a few minutes. after receiving the photo, li xiwu was very satisfied. she turned around and handed it to pei jingzhou. i think its very good. what do you think? in the photo, youyou and yaoyao were both looking at the camera. youyou smiled the brightest, and yaoyao looked obedient. li xiwu and pei jingzhou were looking at each other. their gazes were affectionate. the background was blue glass, and a great white shark that swam past was the only photobomb. pei jingzhou pointed at the great white shark. its quite good at stealing the limelight. what do you mean stealing the limelight? it just happened to pass by. li xiwu smiled and took the photo back from pei jingzhou. she placed it in her bag. when we get back, lets frame the photo and put it in the most obvious place in the bedroom. pei jingzhou frowned. of course it has to be placed in the most conspicuous place, but the size of the photo is too small. li xiwu nodded. now that you mention it, i think so. wait a minute. ill ask him for the negatives, pei jingzhou said as he walked towards the photo uncle. the uncle was very straightforward. after taking the photos, many people asked him for the negatives. without another word, he sent them to pei jingzhou. the aquarium was huge. at the moment, pei jingzhou and li xiwu had just arrived at the shark museum with the two little guys. there were even more sea creatures ahead. youyou was like a happy fish in the aquarium. she was curious about everything and took a second look at everything. at first, it was youyou who took the initiative to grab yaoyaos hand. as they walked forward, they encountered more and more sea creatures. because youyou was engrossed, after she accidentally let go of yaoyaos hand, yaoyao would take the initiative to take youyous hand back and hold it firmly. youyou and yaoyao had a lot of fun that day. yaoyao was very lively today. along the way to the aquarium, he said a lot of things. he would tell li xiwu or pei jingzhou anything he wanted. there were names under the glass of every sea creature. if he knew a few words, he would take the initiative to ask what those words were read. seeing the change in yaoyao, li xiwu was also happy. pei jingzhou booked a cafeteria at noon. after lunch) the next stop was the zoo. it was winter now, and most animals were already hibernating and did not like to move outside, so if they went to the zoo now, they would not see many animals moving outside. but children didnt care if animals were hibernating. as long as they went to the zoo, they would be happy and satisfied. after confirming the location, the family of four went to the zoo. although they did not stay for long, yaoyao and youyou were very satisfied. the last stop was the amusement park. perhaps because the aquarium and zoo had exhausted all their energy, the two of them leaned against each other and fell asleep as soon as they got into the car. neither of them reacted when they mentioned that their next stop was the amusement park. pei jingzhou held youyous head to prevent her from falling off while sleeping. it seems that theyre tired from playing. lees go to the amusement park another day. li xiwu looked at the exhausted two little fellows. other than the tram at the zoo today, weve been walking. the physical strength of children cant compare to that of adults. they cant walk anymore and dont want a hug. well go to the amusement park next time. this kid is quite stubborn. pei jingzhous gaze landed on yaoyao. li xiwu smiled playfully. isnt this like you, fourth brother? pei jingzhou refused to admit it. i wasnt as stubborn as him when i was young. li xiwu suppressed the smile on her lips. i didnt say fourth brother was very stubborn when he was young. i mean now. pei jingzhou raised his eyebrows. now? do i? yes. li xiwus tone was light. the fourth brother i know is stubborn in every way. of course, pei jingzhou would have argued with li xiwu. he even admitted indirectly, perhaps, but i dont know. they had to redesign the route ahead. the chauffeur slowed down and asked, sir, madam, are we going to the lu residence or back to lake lu? pei jingzhou glanced sideways at li xiwu. li xiwus gaze landed on the sleeping yaoyao. she thought about how she had been going to the lu residence to accompany yaoyao every day during this period of time, but she had never brought yaoyao back to the pei residence or lake lu. but she couldnt decide. pei jingzhou could tell that she was in a dilemma and made the decision for her. its sunday today. its good to bring yaoyao back to lake lu. often, when li xiwu was in a dilemma, she only needed pei jingzhou to say the word and li xiwu would immediately make up her mind. she smiled cheerfully. okay.. Chapter 423 - Chapter 423: Remember, Your Name Is Li Yangui chapter 423: remember, your name is li yangui translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations yaoyao and youyou were exhausted today. they slept very soundly on the way back. youyou had to hug yaoyaos arm even when she was asleep. yaoyaos head was leaning in li xiwus arms, and he looked very obedient when he after the car arrived at lake lu, pei jingzhou got out of the car and carried youyou down. youyou was still hugging yaoyaos arm. this slight tug woke him up. li xiwu panicked when she saw yaoyao wake up. yaoyao, she called gently. yaoyao raised his hand to rub his relaxed eyes and replied in a daze, mm. li xiwu first tidied yaoyaos clothes and hair before carrying him. she said to him, were going to a new place later. yaoyaos open eyes looked blank. where to? li xiwu said, lets go in first. pei jingzhou waited outside the car. he had also listened to the conversation between li xiwu and yaoyao. his mood was similar to li xiwus, and he was afraid that yaoyao would resist coming here. because they hadnt asked yaoyaos permission before coming. li xiwu got out of the car and reached out to yaoyao. yaoyao said, i can walk on my own. li xiwu smiled gently. ill carry you up. yaoyao pursed his lips. but im very heavy. li xiwu said, yaoyao isnt heavy at all. its just right for me to carry you. during this period of time, li xiwu had learned a lot about yaoyaos personality. yaoyao rarely let her carry him, not because of the distance, but because he was afraid that if he was too heavy, li xiwu would find it difficult to carry him. she also observed that occasionally, when pei jingzhou hugged yaoyao, yaoyao would be very happy because yaoyao knew that it would not be difficult for pei jingzhou to carry him. he actually knew everything. hes just not good at expressing it. on the way up by the elevator, pei jingzhou and li xiwu did not speak. the two of them gave yaoyao a very quiet space by an unspoken mutual understanding. it was quiet, but it was also convenient for them to observe yaoyaos reaction. yaoyao did not show a trace of nervousness. he stayed steadily in li xiwus arms. when they reached the door, pei jingzhou opened the door and entered first. li xiwu stood at the door. she took a deep breath and adjusted her tone. she said carefully to yaoyao, were home, yaoyao. yaoyao turned to look at the scene in the room, then slowly turned around and lay in li xiwus arms without saying a word. pei jingzhou placed the sleeping youyou back in the childrens room and came out. he walked to li xiwu and reached out. let me do it. li xiwu nodded and let go slightly. pei jingzhou took the yaoyao. pei jingzhou put down yaoyao and said softly, stand properly. yaoyao stood obediently in front of pei jingzhou. pei jingzhou took half a step back and slowly squatted down. he said to yaoyao, welcome home, young brat. yaoyaos pupils had obvious changes. there was shock and surprise. the emotional changes might not be as vivid, but his eyes would not lie. yaoyao looked at pei jingzhou, then up at li xiwu. his gaze went back and forth a few times. he shook his head and said in a muffled voice, this is not my home. pei jingzhou said, its your home. yaoyao continued to shake his head. no. pei jingzhou said, this isnt your home. where do you want it to be? yaoyao didnt answer. the answer in his mind was: here. but he knew that this was not the case. this was youyous home and had nothing to do with him. but he knew that as long as he listened obediently and made them like him all the time, he could come here often to play. li yangui! pei jingzhou shouted in a low voice. the name that pei jingzhou suddenly shouted not only puzzled yaoyao, but also li xiwu. however, the surprised reaction was only for a moment. she quickly realized that pei jingzhou wanted to use his method to let yaoyao know that he belonged to this family. at the thought of this, li xiwu remained silent and did not interfere with pei jingzhous actions. pei jingzhou reached out and gently placed his hands on yaoyaos shoulders, bringing him in front of him. this is the name your grandfather gave you, li yangui. yaoyao was stunned and did not react for a long time. pei jingzhou knew that he was being too anxious at this moment. during this period of time, yaoyaos trust in him had increased a lot. however, li xiwus words today reminded him that if he did not do anything, yaoyao would probably always think that he was liked by them because he was pretending to be obedient. he knew that yaoyaos mind was a few years older than his actual age, so he believed that yaoyao would understand what he meant. remember, from now on, your name is li yangui. from now on, ill call you that from time to time. you have to get used to it. youyous name is li yansheng. shes your twin sister. li yangui, do you understand what i mean? yaoyao was silent. no one could tell if he understood what pei jingzhou meant or not understood a word. father and son looked at each other for a moment. just as pei jingzhou was about to repeat what he had just said, yaoyao said in his usual muffled voice, why am i li yangm? pei jingzhous eyes flickered and he lowered his gaze. im sorry about back then. i didnt know about the birth of you and youyou. if i had known, you would have grown up by my side. yaoyaos nasal voice was heavy and buzzing. so are you my father? pei jingzhou replied, yes. this moment might be too illusory and not that real to yaoyao, but to pei jingzhou, this was a good start. pei jingzhou was very satisfied. he stood up and looked at li xiwu, giving her a reassuring look. li xiwu felt a lump in her throat. she had been calming down. seeing the look pei jingzhou gave her, she felt much more at ease. next, pei jingzhou would slowly start letting yaoyao get used to his new name. yaoyao was here for the first time today and was a little restrained. he didnt know where to go, so he sat obediently on the sofa. li yangui. pei jingzhou brought the dragon fruit that li xiwu had cut and placed it in front of yaoyao. yaoyao picked up his fork and ate a piece. pei jingzhou would ask again, li yangui, is the dragon fruit delicious? yaoyao turned to look at pei jingzhou with a frown. he was conflicted about whether to say this or not. in the end, he mustered his courage and said to pei jingzhou, can you call me yaoyao like before? pei jingzhou said, sure. yaoyao grinned. pei jingzhou said, but you have to get used to this new name first. yaoyao: ( 7. 7 ) pei jingzhou said, what kind of look is that, li yangul? yaoyao turned his head away from pei jingzhou. i understand. my name is li yangui. pei jingzhou smiled. say it again. i didnt hear you clearly. yaoyao said loudly, got it. my name is li yangui. you useless father. if you have the ability, let me take your surname. pei jingzhou sneered.. heh Chapter 424 - Chapter 424: Continuation of the Li Family chapter 424: continuation of the li family translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations when li xiwu came over, she saw the cold expressions of the father and son! whats wrong now? she walked over with a smile and sat down beside yaoyao. she reached for the dragon fruit on the plate and fed it to yaoyao. youve been accumulating a little food recently. eating dragon fruit is good for your digestion. yaoyao looked up and saw that it was the dragon fruit that li xiwu had fed him. he obediently opened his mouth and ate it. even though his cheeks were puffed up, he did not forget to say, thank you. li xiwu stroked yaoyaos head. youre welcome, yaoyao baby. hmph. she had just finished saying that she was welcome when a soft snort came from behind her. li xiwu turned around to look at pei jingzhou. seeing that he was still looking very depressed, she couldnt help but laugh. she retracted her hand and turned around to adjust her sitting posture. she asked pei jingzhou, did yaoyao make you angry? pei jingzhou said, obviously. li xiwu laughed at him. why are you still angry with your son? he the words he wanted to complain were on the tip of his tongue. after a few seconds of silence, pei jingzhou still did not say them. he had already decided on the matter of surname. if he mentioned yaoyaos casual rebuttal in front of li xiwu, they would probably think about the surname again. moreover, pei jingzhou felt that he was not qualified to give the two children the surname pei. one child had to have the surname li, or both children had the surname li. this was not only li huaishengs wish, but also the continuation of the li family. li xiwu did not know what pei jingzhou was thinking at this moment. after teasing him for a while, she coaxed him. at this moment, the phone in pei jingzhous pocket rang. he took out his phone and li xiwu saw the caller id. it was a call from uncle. pei jingzhou picked up the phone. li xiwu did not deliberately listen to what pei qingji was saying on the phone, but she noticed that pei jingzhous expression was getting uglier and uglier. the call ended quickly. pei jingzhou put away his cell phone with a dark expression. seeing this, li xiwu asked, what happened? pei jingzhou said in a low voice, pei jiao is missing. li xiwu was stunned. missing? pei jingzhou stood up, and at the same time, li xiwu stood up as well. pei jingzhou pulled li xiwu into his arms and said softly, i have to go out for a while. im not sure when ill be back, but ill definitely call you back before i come back. if its late, sleep early. li xiwu replied, reassuring pei jingzhou. i know. be careful. mm. it was more important to find pei jiao. pei jingzhou did not waste any time. after letting go of li xiwu, he left. li xiwu frowned, worried about pei jiaos current situation. after father pei learned that pei jiao was missing, he was already anxious to send people to search for pei jiaos whereabouts. pei jingzhou was in a hurry to go out and look for pei jiao. afraid that li xiwu would be worried, he did not tell her too much about pei jiaos disappearance. all li xiwu knew so far was that pei jiao had been missing for three days. ever since pei jiao returned to the country, she had stayed out all night. occasionally, she would go home in the middle of the night, but at least she went home. this time, she did not go home for two days. they could not contact her phone either. they had performed a cell phone satellite location. currently, her cell phone was in a river in the suburbs by the river at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs of the capital. there was a cordon around the area. apart from the police cars, several other cars were parked one after another. there were already several boats rowing on the originally quiet river. on the other side of the river stood three people. the one in black was pei qingji. han qianye stood behind pei qingji, and beside han qianye was a young man in a black coat. when pei jingzhou walked over quickly, the young man looked up and saw pei jingzhou. he shouted, fourth brother. pei jingzhous gaze landed on qin zhuoning. old qin. qin zhuoning took two steps forward and walked to pei jingzhous side. he said in a low voice, theres still no news of pei jiao. auntie isnt in a good mood. pei jingzhou frowned. have you salvaged the cell phone? qin zhuoning shook his head. the river is changing. we can only lock onto the approximate location. were still fishing. pei jingzhou did not ask when qin zhuoning knew that pei jiao was missing and when he had come over. he walked sideways to han qianye and placed his leather-gloved hand on her shoulder. mom. han qianyes expression was not very good. i dont want to talk now. pei jingzhou did not say anything else. he stopped beside han qianye for a moment before walking to pei qingjis side. the winter wind wasnt strong, but it was like a blade. it whistled in waves, stinging the cheeks and making the hem of the clothes flap. pei qingji glanced sideways. seeing that it was pei jingzhou, his thin lips, which had been pursed for a long time, moved. i havent found your sister yet. pei jingzhou asked, what clues do we have so far? pei qingji said in a low voice, there are traces of a car accident, but this place is remote. there are no surveillance cameras to check. we can only check the surveillance cameras from the roads around this mountain. it will take some time, but ive already instructed them to send more people. the results will be out later. pei jingzhou thought of something. have you checked all the surveillance cameras outside tanhua manor? i went to investigate immediately. jiaojiao came out of tanhua manor and got into her friends car. her friend is also missing and cant be contacted for the time being. the more pei qingji spoke, the uglier his expression became. pei jingzhou understood that even his father said that he could not contact her. that person was basically missing. at this moment, someone ran over and shouted, ive detected it, ive detected it! its at the bottom of the lake!! pei qingji was shocked, and his expression, which had been pretending to be calm for a long time, completely disintegrated at this moment. han qianye, who was also standing there waiting for the good news, indeed received the good news, but it was the news of sonar detecting the bottom of the lake. han qianye almost lost her balance. qin zhuoning held han qianyes arm. auntie, be careful. han qianye barely stabilized herself and looked at the person running over. she asked in a trembling voice, what did you detect? the man said, car! its a car! han qianye trembled and shouted at the top of her lungs, wheres the diver? did you go down to take a look? they dived down. well get a message right away, the man said with trepidation. han qianyes eyes turned red, and her body was still trembling. qin zhuoning calmed down and comforted her, auntie, dont think too much. pei jiao is a lucky person. shell be fine. han qianye took a deep breath. i always scold her for not knowing how to improve and wasting her days. when she comes back, i wont scold her anymore. ill give her money every day, as much as i want. shell definitely be happy and go out less in the future at this moment, pei qingji and pei jingzhou were already on a boat. the boat rowed to where the sonar had detected it. pei qingjis expression was very tense. this spot? the searcher said, yes. two of the searchers have gone down. they before he could finish, one of the divers returned. he reached for the side of the boat, but before he could pull open the oxygen mask, pei qingji immediately leaned over and grabbed the divers arm. he asked anxiously, is anyone in the car? the searcher freed one hand to pull the oxygen mask away from his face. theres no one in the car, he gasped.. Chapter 425 - Chapter 425: On the Day of Mother’s Death chapter 425: on the day of mothers death translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei qingji, who had been tense for a long time, suddenly relaxed at this moment. his body lost its support and he slid down. pei jingzhou immediately held pei qingjis shoulder. theres no one in the car, which means that shes fine. she must be in a safe place now. youre right. jiaojiao must be in a safe place now. pei qingjis expression was much better than before. next, they had to start salvage. although there was no one in the car, if they salvaged the car, they could immediately identify the source of the car accident. it was especially important for the dashcam. when han qianye saw that pei qingji and her son had returned, she immediately went forward. is there anyone underwater? pei qingji shook his head. theres only one car. we didnt detect anyone. thats good, thats good. han qianye felt relieved. this really scared me to death. as long as there was no one in the car and the sonar had detected no other echo around them, no news was good news for the time being. it would take a little time to salvage. pei qingji coaxed han qianye to return to the car to wait for the news. han qianye was unwilling, so pei qingji personally brought han qianye back to the car to rest. pei jingzhou and qin zhuoning stood guard outside the cordon, waiting for the car at the bottom of the river to be salvaged. the two of them stood side by side. qin zhuoning retracted his gaze from the distant river and asked pei jingzhou, why didnt you ask me why i came today? pei jingzhou said, theres no need to ask. i know. qin zhuoning didnt believe him. fourth brother, do you really know? i know. pei jingzhou also retracted his gaze and turned to look at qin zhuoning. he wang mentioned it to me before. qin zhuoning smiled bitterly. he wang is such a big mouth. pei jingzhou asked, is it on a whim, or do you think pei jiao is suitable? the bitter smile on qin zhuonings lips turned into a choking laugh. fourth brother, your questions are good. no matter which question i answer, its a fatal question. pei jingzhou said calmly, then think carefully before answering this question. the atmosphere between brothers should be casual and relaxed, but when a brother coveted his sister, the atmosphere was not so casual and relaxed. as an elder brother, he had to have an attitude. pei jingzhous attitude was that brothers could joke about anything and risk their lives for anything. however, if he wanted to marry his sister, he had to show an attitude. however, now was not the time for qin zhuoning to express his stance. the most important thing now was to find the missing pei jiao. only when he knew that pei jiao was fine could he be at ease. uncle said that pei jiao got into her friends car. do you know who her friend is? qin zhuoning asked. pei jingzhou said, i dont pay much attention to her social circle. i only know that hes a friend she often hangs out with. i havent investigated that persons identity. qin zhuoning said, pei jiaos disappearance happened too suddenly this time. when we find pei jiao, we have to investigate all her friends. i keep feeling that this disappearance was not an accident or coincidence. do you think it was arranged by someone? pei jingzhou asked him. qin zhuoning said, its just a guess. well only know whats going on when we get the dashcam. lake lu. li xiwu did not go out again in the afternoon and stayed at home with yaoyao and youyou. during this period of time, the family had prepared many toys one after another. youyou couldnt play with them at all. now that yaoyao was here, many toys had been dismantled. there were legos, puzzles, magnetic sheets, and colored playdough. youyou liked colored playdough the most. she played with a box of colored playdough until flowers bloomed. it was all over the place. at first, yaoyao was more interested in the lego city series. after playing with it for a while, his interest gradually faded. in the end, she picked up the brand new fourth-tier rubiks cube. the afternoon dragged on. because li xiwu was distracted, it felt very long. during this time, yaoyao had asked her once, where is he? li xiwu took the opportunity to correct his form of address when yaoyao asked about pei jingzhou, who are you asking about, yaoyao? yaoyao pursed his lips and thought about what to say. li xiwu asked, is yaoyao asking where daddy is? yaoyao nodded. mm, mm. li xiwu deliberately said, then can you ask again? it wasnt that yaoyao didnt want to say it, but he was a little embarrassed to ask. at this moment, youyou, who was rubbing the colored playdough, squeezed over and asked, is daddy not off work yet? youyous words undoubtedly encouraged yaoyao. yaoyao moved his mouth and whispered to li xiwu, wheres daddy? li xiwu looked at the two little fellows who were looking at her eagerly and sighed in satisfaction. she replied, your father will be back a little late today because he has to work overtime. well sleep first later. yaoyao nodded. i understand. youyou threw herself into li xiwus arms and rubbed some of the colored playdough in her hand against li xiwu. daddy isnt back. can youyou sleep with mommy today? as youyou finished speaking, yaoyao also looked at li xiwu. although he didnt say anything, his big eyes were filled with hope. li xiwu touched youyous face and then yaoyaos face. of course. oh yeah! youyou made a handsome gesture. yaoyao was also very happy. the corners of his lips curled up. after a while, auntie lin came in and called for dinner. yaoyao consciously put down the rubiks cube. youyou was still wiping the colored playdough from her hand. after pressing it too hard, the colored playdough stuck to her palm. when yaoyao saw this, he took the initiative to help youyou clean the colored playdough from her hand. li xiwu watched in relief. she finally experienced the comfort of being an old mother. after dinner, li xiwu told auntie lin in advance that she would sleep with yaoyao and youyou tonight. auntie lin also knew that the master would be back very late tonight. she nodded and returned to her room after cleaning up. after nightfall, li xiwu sat at the head of the bed and read two stories, coaxing the two little guys to sleep. yaoyao didnt feel very safe. he wanted to be close to li xiwu. li xiwu was afraid that youyou would be jealous, but she didnt expect that not only would youyou not be jealous, but she would also take the initiative to push yaoyao to li xiwu. youyou herself hugged yaoyaos arm. at that moment, li xiwu wondered if this was the mutual sensing of twins. the phone by the bed beeped. li xiwu put down her bedtime book and picked up her phone. it was a wechat message from boyuan: are the two little guys asleep? did they disturb you? li xiwu clicked on the camera and took a photo of yaoyao and youyou sleeping together. she sent it to boyuan and typed a line: sleeping soundly. boyuan sent a cute emoji first, then a goodnight emoji. li xiwu smiled and replied with a goodnight emoji. she looked at the time. it was almost ten oclock. pei jingzhou had sent her a message an hour ago, telling her that he would be back a little late tonight, but there was no specific time. he had reminded her to sleep first. she put the phone aside and lay down quietly beside the two little ones. the night was peaceful, and she quickly fell asleep. but it wasnt a good dream. once again, she dreamed of the past.. it was the day her mother died Chapter 426 - Chapter 426: Pain From Four Years Ago chapter 426: pain from four years ago translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations the scene in the dream was blurry. li xiwu couldnt even see her mothers face clearly on the bed. the only thing she could see clearly was her mothers blue and white hospital gown. it was especially dazzling. youre in the later stage of pregnancy. its not convenient to go out. dont come over every day. im in good shape today. the nurses say i look a lot better than i did a few days ago. i love this wig. its a color ive always wanted to try but havent made up my mind to try. when im better, ill go and dye one like it, but you cant tell your father. hell definitely disapprove. li xiwu slowly reached out, trying to touch her mother. her outstretched hand was held by another warm hand. li xiwu looked up, trying to see the face of the person in front of her clearly, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldnt see it clearly. her mothers face was clearly in front of her, but it was still very blurry. little you. she heard a helpless sigh from her mother. mom loves you. i love you so much. if possible, i want to stay with you until you get married. then together with your father, i want to personally put your hand in the hands of the person who can take care of you for the rest of your life. only then can i feel at ease. but im sorry, mom doesnt have much time? warm tears landed on the back of li xiwus hand. she thought they were her mothers tears, but when she made a choking sound, she realized that they were her own tears. mom. she made a hoarse sound, emotionally broken. at this moment, she looked pained because her stomach suddenly hurt. as she held her bulging stomach, she wanted to say something else. when she looked up in a daze, her blurry vision instantly became clear. she saw her worried mother. mom she was thrilled. her mother threw back the covers and got out of bed. holding her by the back of her shoulder, she raised her voice and shouted at the door of the ward. nurse! nurse! soon, the ward door was pushed open from the outside two nurses hurried in. her mother said to the two nurses, quick, my daughters stomach hurts the nurse said, maybe its a symptom of miscarriage. help her out first. we cant let her stay here forever. li xiwu shook her head stubbornly. no, no, im not leaving. but the nurse wouldnt listen to her at all and forcefully took her away from her mothers ward. in the lift, li xiwu gripped her mothers cuff tightly. no matter how hard she tried to stay, she was forced to break free. at the last moment, li xiwu waved her hand blind in the air and grabbed her mothers hand again. she cried, mom, wait for me can you wait for me? please, wait for me. you have to wait for me her mother took her hand and said to her in a gentle voice, okay. mom will wait for you. with that, her mother firmly pried her hand away. li xiwu cried until she couldnt breathe. she watched as her mothers thin figure became more and more blurry before finally disappearing from her vision. the scene in the dream was silently changing. after being taken out of the ward, li xiwu fainted. when she opened her eyes again, she stared at the white ceiling with empty and blank eyes. after being in a daze for a long time, she slowly sat up and looked around. she realized that the person lying on the bed in a blue and white hospital gown had become her. she slowly raised her hands and touched her cheeks. was this still a dream? dream or not, she wanted to see her mother. yes! to see her mother! li xiwu lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed, but a sharp pain in her abdomen made her immediately stop. she slowly looked down and realized that her abdomen, which should have been bulging, had become flat. li xiwus face instantly turned pale. where were her children? she anxiously touched her stomach. there was nothing. she quickly lifted her hospital gown to look at her stomach. it was no longer slender, but it was not a big belly. there was a nearly ten-centimeter-long internal suture wound under the abdomen. it was not eye-catching, but it could not be ignored. she stared at her stomach in a daze for a long time. she did not even hear when the nurse came in until the nurse quickly walked forward and pulled down her hospital gown. miss li) why are you up? you have to lie down and rest now. li xiwu looked up at the nurse in front of her and asked, wheres my baby? the nurse paused, but didnt answer. li xiwu grabbed the nurses hand and asked anxiously, wheres my baby? the nurse pulled her hand back. you should rest first. at that moment, li xiwu suddenly lost control of her emotions and was in a daze. she gripped the nurses hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice, is my baby gone? the nurse shook her head. no, your babies are all here. its just that theyre not very healthy right now. you cant see them for the time being. you lied to me you lied to me, you lied to me! you lied to me! li xiwu, who had lost control of her emotions, did not believe the nurse at all. she pushed the nurses hand away and stood up. the nurse held her down and persuaded, miss li, the wounds on your body cant withstand your actions. you should rest well now, do you hear me? you should lie down and rest! however, at this moment, li xiwu couldnt listen to anything. she just wanted to see the two babies. there were waves of pain in her lower abdomen. in addition to the pain from the wound in the inner seam, there was also a knife-like pain in her lower abdomen. in an instant, her face turned as pale as paper, and layers of sweat appeared on her forehead. even with the pain, she didnt stop. she was desperate to get out. seeing that she couldnt stop her any longer, the nurse quickly pressed the call bell by the bed. a moment later, two more doctors and two nurses came in. they came over to help hold down the struggling li xiwu. another doctor said) do you want a tranquilizer? you cant give her a tranquilizer without permission. you have to ask madam di xin. but shes hurry up and contact madam di xin! yes. a doctor went out to contact madam di xin, while the other doctors and nurses held down li xiwu, who was struggling and resisting. knowing the reason why she had lost control of her emotions, the doctor tried to communicate with her. but it was useless. madam di xin rushed to the hospital immediately. when she saw li xiwu in such pain, madam di xin had no choice but to make up her mind and agree to give li xiwu a tranquilizer. after a while, the doctor and nurse helped li xiwu, who was covered in sweat, lie on the bed. after she stopped struggling, a tranquilizer seemed to have taken away her soul. she closed her eyes slightly and looked at the ceiling in a daze. madam di xin sat quietly by the bed and chatted with her. she wondered if li xiwu had heard her. she stared at the ceiling quietly for a long time until the sound in her ears disappeared.. she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep Chapter 427 - Chapter 427: Be Good, Don’t Cry chapter 427: be good, dont cry translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations after an unknown period of time, she felt as if shed slept deeply and deeply, as if a century had passed. when she thought shed finally woken from a dream, she opened her eyes and saw a blue bay window. she was still in the ward. she was sitting on the bed with her arms around her knees, staring out the window at the banana leaves swaying against the wind. she didnt know how long she watched in silence until she heard voices behind her yes. shes a little confused now. she often sits like this all afternoon. fortunately, the c-section wound is healing well. hows she been these past two days? well, its much better than before, but its still not too stable. mr. li came over yesterday. now the ward has to be guarded at all times. some things cant be mentioned in front of her. if you mention it, her emotions will go out of control. mr. li came yesterday? yes, mr. li wants to bring miss li home tomorrow. from what mr. li says, after miss li is discharged, he will send her back to the country. okay, i got it. these conversations came from afar one after another. li xiwu could not hear them clearly. however, she knew that the person asking was madam di xin. she sat still until the ward fell silent. after a moment, madam di xin walked over and sat down beside her. little you. li xiwu glanced sideways at madam di xin. madam di xin met her calm gaze and said gently, your father is sending you back to the country. li xiwu pursed her lips and said nothing for a long time. madam di xin reached over and gently stroked li xiwus cheek. youve lost a lot of weight in the past month. li xiwus nose stung. madam di xin coaxed her. be good. dont cry. tears welled up in li xiwus eyes. she wanted to cry, but in the end, she held them back. she heard madam di xin say, your father wants to send you back to the country. i guess he asked him to bring you back. the him madam di xin was referring to was pei jingzhou, who had not come to country t for a long time. because li xiwu had deliberately hidden it, not only did pei jingzhou not know that li xiwu had almost lost her mind after giving birth to two children, but he also did not know that mo zhu had passed away. only she and li huaisheng knew that li xiwu had been in the hospital for the past month. li huaisheng did not visit li xiwu much this month. he was keeping a low profile and dealing with mo zhus funeral. in addition, he was not in a good mood. he did not visit li xiwu because he was afraid that his emotions would affect her. however, li huaisheng had used the wrong method. li xiwu had a difficult month. she was slightly depressed, occasionally confused, and occasionally in a bad mood, but most of the time, she was alone and quiet. just like that, she endured for a month. i dont want to go back. li xiwu shook her head. madam di xin asked, why? li xiwus nasal voice was heavy. im afraid to face him. how could madam di xin not understand what li xiwu was thinking? are you afraid, or dont dare? li xiwu smiled bitterly. whats the difference? of course, there is, madam di xin said. youre afraid because you havent overcome this hurdle in your heart. you dont dare because you cant let go of this side. li xiwu said, both. madam di xin sighed softly. you have to face it and let it go. li xiwu shook her head, her nasal voice even heavier than before. i cant let go. i cant let go. ive let those two children down. ive let him down. i silly girl. madam di xin pulled her over and gently hugged her. at this moment, madam di xin had planned to tell li xiwu that the girl in the twins had been out of the incubator for a few days so that li xiwu could rest assured. she didnt tell her some time ago because she wanted to wait for her to calm down a little. now was a good opportunity. however, at this moment, the prime minister sent a message asking madam di xin to hurry back. it seemed to be an important matter! as the prime ministers wife, how could madam di xin not know about the recent cabinet discussion? the conflict between the two countries was becoming more and more intense. this time, there was probably no peace. after bidding farewell to li xiwu, madam di xin rushed back. for the next few days, li xiwu did not see madam di xin again. she knew from the nurses private discussion that country t had been very unstable recently. there was probably a turmoil, and she did not know when it would erupt. everyone in the cabinet was in danger, and everyone outside the cabinet was in a panic. the number of people at the hospital was dwindling. it seemed that those who knew what was going on had begun to escape. at this moment, madam di xin sent someone to pick li xiwu up and take her to a safe place. the moment she left the hospital, an explosion came from a tall building beside the hospital. the rumbling was deafening. the fear of the unknown grinned her nerves tightly like a hand- she was afraid to breathe loudly, trembling, unable to take the step of escape. when she looked up, the air was thick with smoke. screams and shouts howled in her ears. everyone was busy taking care of themselves and fleeing in all directions. some people were kneeling and praying. every gesture and expression was filled with piety. but fate didnt let the pious go. the fallen building smashed into him. this scene happened to fall into li xiwus eyes. she didnt even have time to shout: run! that person died in front of her eyes just like that. the hospital was quickly protected. the people entering and leaving were strictly checked. the explosion of the tall building was the first warning and provocation from the enemy country. country t decided not to sit still and wait for death. they issued orders to fight at any time. li xiwu was brought home in a daze. the moment she saw her father, all her willpower collapsed. she could no longer support her mental world and fainted. around six in the morning, when li xiwu woke up, she felt a large wet patch on the pillow. she turned sideways and frowned at the cold touch. she dreamed for a long time. she also dreamed a lot. the past appeared in her dream frame by frame, and she experienced it again. despair, pain, self-blame, and guilt all surged into her heart, making her experience it for real. why was it so painful back then that pei jingzhou hypnotized her memory? she always thought that although the past was tragic, she might be able to bear it. now she knew she couldnt take it. other than pain, there was still pain. she had experienced too much in country t. at that time, she was still young and could not bear it at all. if pei jingzhou had not gotten someone to hypnotize her memory, she could not imagine how she would have changed now. would she turn into a lunatic? she probably would. li xiwu took a deep breath and composed herself. she turned on the bedside lamp and propped herself up. yaoyao and youyou were sleeping soundly beside her, but pei jingzhou was nowhere to be seen. he probably didnt come back all night. fortunately, he didnt come back. if he found out that shed been crying for so long, hed blame himself again.. Chapter 428 - Chapter 428: The Healing of Two Little Angels chapter 428: the healing of two little angels translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations during breakfast, yaoyao and youyous appetites were not bad. auntie lin prepared breakfast for everyone, and the two little guys finished it. li xiwu didnt have much of an appetite and put down her chopsticks after a few bites. seeing this, auntie lin asked, miss li, is todays breakfast not to your liking? li xiwu looked up and shook her head. its not that i dont like it. its just that i have a slight accumulation of food and cant eat much. youll have to take digestive tablets then. dont eat anything else. drink a glass of milk first. ill get you some digestive tablets, auntie lin said and turned to get them. li xiwu smiled knowingly and was about to pour herself a glass of milk. before her hand touched the cup, she saw a cup of milk being silently pushed over to her right hand. when the glass of milk slowly pressed against the back of her hand, the small hand that had pushed over stopped and silently retracted, planning to pretend that nothing had happened. yaoyao, li xiwu called out. yaoyao suddenly looked up at li xiwu. li xiwu couldnt help but ask, you gave me your milk. what about you? yaoyao answered seriously, i know how to pour it myself. youyou, who was beside her, refused to admit defeat. she pushed the remaining half of the milk in front of li xiwu and said in a soft voice, mom, ill give you my milk too. i can get brother to pour me milk. dont worry. li xiwu was especially satisfied. at this moment, nothing could heal her better than the two cute little angels in front of her. after breakfast, youyou took yaoyao around the new house. as yaoyao said gloomily that he would not stay here permanently, he couldnt help but follow youyou and silently remember what this house looked like. youyou took the initiative to hold yaoyaos hand and said, mom and dad said that youre my brother. no one can take you away, and youyou wont allow anyone to take you away. yaoyao said nothing, but he was still happy. if only he could stay with them forever. li xiwu stood in the distance and watched quietly until her cell phone vibrated and a call came in. she picked up the phone. fourth brother. pei jingzhous voice came from the phone. have you had breakfast? she could tell that even though pei jingzhou deliberately relaxed his tone, she could still hear the fatigue. li xiwu nodded and asked him, have you found pei jiao? pei jingzhou said, not yet. li xiwu frowned. any clues? pei jingzhous voice was deep. the dashcam was burned. li xiwu was surprised. it was burned in advance? yes, pei jingzhou said. the car didnt fall into the river after going down the mountain. someone tampered with the car. after destroying the dashcam, it sank into the river. the most important dashcam was destroyed in advance. the other party did not burn the car directly. instead, after destroying the dashcam, they went to the trouble of sinking the car into the river. this was clearly premeditated. moreover, before pei jiao was discovered to be missing, that car had been in the water for two days. it had been three days and three nights since pei jiao was discovered to be missing. after a person disappears, they have a prime time of seventy-two hours, because finding the missing person as soon as possible during this time will give them the best chance of survival. in other words, the seventy-two hours of prime time had passed. and now, pei jiaos fate is unknown. li xiwu suddenly felt her breathing tighten. then now pei jingzhou said. dont think too much. wait for me to come back. li xiwu replied, okay. coincidentally, there was a busy line. after li xiwu ended her call with pei jingzhou, she picked up the call. guan sulings gentle voice came from the phone. darling. grandma, li xiwu called softly. guan suling only felt relieved when she heard li xiwus voice. i really miss you so much that i cant eat or sleep. darling, are you done with your matters? if youre done, ill pick you up today, okay? li xiwu naturally remembered that her grandmother had said that she wanted to take her to stay in the mo residence. she did not refuse. she just wanted to settle her work and the matters around her for the time being before going over to stay for a while. although her grandmother had not called her to rush her recently, li xiwu was not too busy. she had originally planned to bring yaoyao and youyou to the mo residence to see her grandmother in the next two days with pei jingzhou. but after pei jiaos disappearance darling? are you not free now? its okay, its okay. if youre busy and cant come back for the time being, i can wait. guan suling was also afraid that this call would make things difficult for li xiwu. however, she really missed li xiwu so much that she couldnt help but make this call. li xiwu did not want her grandmother to be disappointed. it was good to send yaoyao and youyou to the mo residence for two days. this way, she could help pei jingzhou, so she agreed. then ill come over at two in the afternoon. the surprise came too suddenly. guan suling almost thought she had heard wrong. darling, you mean today, today li xiwu said, yes, grandma. you dont have to send a car to pick me up when i come back today. ill get over myself. guan suling was overjoyed and quickly said, okay, okay, its up to you. grandma will wait for you. yeah. she could tell that her grandmother was really happy to know that she was going back today. after waiting for so long, li xiwu did not dare to disappoint her grandmother again. hence, after ending the call with her grandmother, li xiwu prepared to send pei jingznou a message to tell him tnat sne would bring yaoyao and youyou back to the mo residence today. after editing it, li xiwu hesitated. pei jingzhou was busy looking for pei jiao and could not leave. if she told him now, with pei jingzhous personality, he would most likely take the time to bring youyou and yaoyao back to the mo residence with her. it was more important to find pei jiao now. she could not distract pei jingzhou anymore. li xiwu deleted all the edited words, put away her cell phone, and went to look for yaoyao and youyou. at the engineering base. pei jiao was the only one in the minimalist living room. her injuries were still recovering, and it was not inconvenient for her to move around. however, because of her unknown identity, she could not go out for the time being. otherwise, she would be arrested the moment she went out. wen qiong brought the green ball she had personally made to see pei jiao. in order to take care of her privacy, wen qiong only stood outside and knocked on the door. she did not go in directly. pei jiao came over to open the door. when she saw that the person standing outside was wen qiong, she smiled reluctantly and gestured. wen qiong came in. hows your throat today? pei jiao shook her head. wen qiong sighed. look, i told you the day before yesterday not to try to pronounce it. now that your vocal cords are damaged, you wont be able to speak for a long time. pei jiao frowned and looked very sad. wen qiong opened the box and handed pei jiao a green ball. try it. i made it myself. its even been praised for being delicious.. Chapter 429 - Chapter 429: Let Him Accept His Fate chapter 429: let him accept his fate translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations wen qiong was very good and took good care of her. ever since she moved here, wen qiong had come to visit her every day, brought her delicious food, accompanied her to relieve her boredom, and told her about wei yu. but the only thing she didnt tell her was what this place was. she stood in the corridor and looked out several times. she guessed that this was a deep mountain, and at the top of it. there was a very tall signal tower beside it. this was probably a secret base. and it was a national secret base. why did she say that? because there are police officers outside. places guarded by police officers were either important national secret bases or she was overseas now, but those people didnt look like foreigners. after guessing, the cpu in pei jiaos mind was about to explode. she still did not know what kind of place this was! she thought in distress that she would have known where she was if she could touch all the electronics now. also, she couldnt go out. she was really going to suffocate to death! wen qiong waved her hand in front of pei jiao and asked her with a smile, what are you thinking about? pei jiao could not speak. she could only shake her head and take the green ball wen qiong had given her. she turned around and sat on the sofa. wen qiong followed her and sat down beside pei jiao. do you want to go home? when she heard the word go home, pei jiaos eyes lit up. she suddenly turned around and looked straight at wen qiong, her expression was asking anxiously, when can i go home? wen qiong shook her head at pei jiao. you cant go home for the time being. the base has lost something very important. the investigation is very strict now. you should be here for nearly half a month. hearing this, pei jiao looked up at the ceiling and did not say anything else. wen qiong took a notebook and pen and placed them in front of pei jiao. your right hand is still recovering, but you can still move the pen occasionally. why dont you try to write your name first? or write a string of phone numbers. ill help you contact your family. pei jiao looked at wen qiong from the corner of her eye. she did not say anything and looked like she was seriously considering it. she could be said to be extremely unlucky in this car accident. she was covered in injuries from the car accident and her body was covered in bruises. fortunately, her legs were not lame, but her hand was slightly fractured. she had a high fever at night and had a throat problem. because she was in a hurry to speak, her vocal cords were damaged. however, only pei jiao knew pei jiaos true situation now. it was true that her vocal cords were damaged and she could not speak, but her hands were actually not affected. she could hold chopsticks and comb her hair. but she played a trick. since she couldnt speak, she might as well be completely disabled. so she used her hand gestures to tell them that her hand needed a recovery period because of the fracture. she couldnt exert force for the time being, so she avoided writing communication. the handwriting would leave something bad for her. especially when she wrote her name. seeing that pei jiao was always distracted, wen qiong put down her notebook and pen and said, i know youre very anxious now, but this is an important base. not to mention my husband, i dont even have the right to let you go. pei jiao turned to look at wen qiong with a puzzled expression. wen qiong guessed, you want to know wei yus identity here? pei jiao was surprised. she could tell at a glance what she wanted to know. wen qiong smiled faintly. ill observe your expression based on what i said and guess what you want to know. pei jiao also smiled and waited for wen qiong to continue. however, wen qiong was only in charge of keeping her in suspense. this cant be said because your identity is unknown. if youre a spy sent by the enemy, something big will happen. pei jiao was once again speechless. guessing that i was a spy and still came to feed me every day, pei jiao couldnt help but wonder about the safety of the food. seeing that pei jiao was speechless and seemed to want to ignore her, wen qiong chuckled. im just joking with you. do you think im humorous? pei jiao was once again speechless. next, wen qiong coaxed pei jiao to eat the green ball. now, the food wen qiong brought every day was her test subject, and pei jiao was the guinea pig. fortunately, the food wen qiong made was not bad, but the color always looked strange. it was nearing noon. wen qiong went to get food for pei jiao. pei jiao waited patiently in the room for wen qiong to come back and feed her. she waited until two in the afternoon. pei jiao was so hungry that her chest was almost touching her back. she was almost seeing double. wen qiong still had not returned. she was so hungry that she wanted to go out. as expected, she was stopped. she couldnt even go down the building now. pei jiao gestured, wanting to express that she was hungry, but she had never learned how to gesture. the comparison was messy, and the two police officers could not understand it and ignored it. in the end, pei jiao returned to the living room dejectedly. other than the porridge in the morning, she had only eaten one green ball that wen qiong had brought in the morning. she was already extremely hungry. she hugged a pillow in her arms and sat on the sofa in a daze. after that, she fell asleep from hunger. she didnt know how much time had passed, but when she woke up again, she was woken up by the fragrance. she suddenly opened her eyes. there was a bento box on the small table in front of the sofa. even without opening it, the fragrance of the chicken was almost numbing pei jiao. she threw away the pillow and was about to open the bento box in a hurry. just as she was about to touch it, her hand paused. sensing that there was someone in the room, she slowly looked up. a tall figure stood in front of the cabinet. it was the elusive wei yu. he was unwrapping a document bag. he opened it and read it before closing it. then he took the document and prepared to leave. before leaving, he glanced at pei jiao, who was sitting obediently on the sofa. seeing that she was looking at him eagerly, wei yu frowned. he was about to walk out when he turned to her and stood in front of her. the base is very busy today. im sorry that i only brought you food now. pei jiao looked pitiful, but she was complaining in her heart. damn it! do you want me to starve to death? look at the time! its four oclock! its four oclock! she could no longer feel hungry. she was numb. no matter how fragrant the food was. it couldnt whet her appetite. of course. other than the bento box in front of her. pei jiao pointed at the bento box. how could wei yu not understand? do you need me to open it? pei jiao nodded. wei yu slowly leaned over and placed the document bag on the other side of the small table. when he was about to open her lunch box, his fingertips paused for a few seconds. why did he care about her? forget it. there was nothing she could do now. it wouldnt hurt to accommodate her. persuading himself, wei yu quickly opened the lunch box. there was a big drumstick, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, two sweet and sour meatballs, cabbage and beans. they were all crammed into a lunch box. each dish had a separate compartment, so it looked okay. although pei jiao was a rich young lady, her life was rough. the meal in front of her was considered very good to her. seeing her eyes light up, wei yu smiled. he opened the packaging of her chopsticks for her and handed them to her. here. pei jiao was stunned, but she did not reach out to take it. wei yu frowned slightly. youre not asking me to feed you, are you? pei jiao bit her lip. although she did not nod, her expression clearly meant that. wei yu put down his chopsticks. ive observed for a while. your hands shouldnt be so bad that you cant pick up your chopsticks to eat. if you dont eat, its up to you. pei jiao took a deep breath and pressed her lips down. she looked like she was about to cry. wei yus hand that had put down his chopsticks paused. he looked up at her and saw that she was looking down to hide her emotions. in the end, his heart softened. he replaced his chopsticks with a spoon and resigned himself to his fate. okay, ill feed you. from an angle where wei yu could not be seen, pei jiao smiled silently.. Chapter 430 - Chapter 430: Tempting His Heart chapter 430: tempting his heart translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations wei yu had never fed anyone in his life. his movements with the spoon looked very stiff and uncomfortable, but he would not go back on his word. he frowned. convincing himself it was just feeding. treat it as feeding a pet. it made no difference. the hand holding the spoon slowly reached for her. eat, he said in an uncomfortable tone. not only were his movements stiff, but his tone was also cold. the heat in the room was strong. pei jiao was wearing a loose sweater that wen qiong had given her. it barely fit her, but the collar was a little too big. seeing that wei yu was feeding her with a dark expression, pei jiao secretly gritted her molars. then, as if unintentionally, she leaned over. her collar slid down a little as she leaned over, revealing a piece of her fair skin. unsurprisingly, wei yu saw it. but he didnt take another look and immediately glanced away. pei jiao reached out and gently placed her hand on the protruding joint on the back of wei yus hand. this sudden touch was like a burn to wei yus hand. he suddenly pulled back. he used too much strength and the spoon in his hand fell, spilling rice on the floor. pei jiao frowned slightly. she bent down to pick up the spoon on the ground, but wei yu immediately stopped her wrist. his hand was wide, and his palm was dry and warm. her wrist was slender, as if it could be easily broken with a little force. so thin? for the first time, wei yu marveled that a womans wrist could be so thin. you he wanted to tell her to sit properly while he picked up the spoon, but he saw that because she was bent over, her collar slid down to reveal more it was even more eye-catching than before. this time, wei yus gaze seemed to be fixed. pei jiao seemed to have sensed something and looked up to meet wei yus gaze. her other hand quickly covered her collar, and her cheeks turned red at a visible speed. as if she felt very ashamed, she did not dare to look at him again. she lowered her eyes to hide her panic, but she did not know that under wei yus vision, she was full of delicate shyness. wei yu suddenly regretted being soft-hearted and staving. if he had known, he would have ignored her just now and left. she would eat this meal if she could. if she couldnt, she would leave it. anyway, she was the one who was hungry. however, when these regretful thoughts appeared in his mind, that beautiful and shy face appeared in front of him again. for a moment) his heart was in turmoil. wei yu closed his eyes tightly, and his eyes quickly regained their usual coldness. he retreated a little and said, im sorry. pei jiao blushed and looked up at him secretly. this glance was caught by him. she quickly looked down and shook her head again, indicating that it was nothing. wei yu picked up the spoon and put it aside. the spoon is dirty and cant be used. make do with the chopsticks. what do you think? pei jiao nodded obediently. she opened her mouth to say okay, but no sound came out. wei yu saw her mouth move, and his warm voice reminded her, when a person becomes mute, its normal that they cant adapt. pei jiao was speechless. you can keep quiet! pei jiao secretly gritted her molars. she adjusted her expression and slowly raised her head. compared to her shyness just now, her expression looked aggrieved. it was a pitiful face. wei yu swallowed slightly and changed his tone. its normal to not be used to it these few days. besides, it takes a while for your vocal cords to recover. although its not that fast, it wont take long. pei jiao smiled and snorted in her heart. this cold-hearted bastard actually knows how to comfort people. there was a faint smile on wei yu i s lips, and he knew that she should be in a better mood. do you still want to eat? pei jiao wanted to roll her eyes. am i a god? of course, i have to eat! she nodded, indicating that she wanted to eat. wei yu held his chopsticks in one hand and placed the other on the ground. he fed pei jiao bit by bit like he was feeding a child. his movements were not as stiff as before and he looked very patient. pei jiao was very hungry. in order to fill her stomach, she would eat every bite she was fed. she did not make a fuss and ate happily. a grain of rice stuck to the corner of pei jiaos mouth. she stuck out her tongue and licked it, but she did not reach it. she stuck out her tongue a little more and finally licked it. she smiled in satisfaction, her expression lively and bright. wei yu swallowed once, then again. then, he immediately looked away from her. pei jiao saw wei yu looking away with a cold expression. she raised her hand and poked the back of his hand in confusion. wei yu cleared his throat and his expression returned to normal. he turned his gaze away and continued to feed her. pei jiaos satisfied smile hid a hint of pride. after eating about 60 to 70% of the food, pei jiao pointed at the drumstick in the lunch box. her meaning was obvious. she wanted to eat the drumstick. wei yu: youre going to chew it yourself? pei jiao raised her left hand. although she could not hold chopsticks with her left hand) she could still hold a drumstick with her left hand. she waved her left hand in front of wei yu to express her intentions. wei yu understood, then got up and left. pei jiao. . forget it. she had been ordering this bastard around for so long. it was about time. she couldnt order him around all the way at once. she would save some for tomorrow to continue to torture him. she reached for the lunch box. wei yus stern voice sounded dont take it! this voice shocked pei jiao. she suddenly looked up at wei yu who had returned. she was about to make an expression to accuse him, but when she noticed the towel in his hand, she was stunned. wei yu sat down and reached out to her. give me your hand. pei jiao could roughly guess why he had left so suddenly. without hesitation, she reached over and gently placed her hand in the palm of wei yu. after the communication between the two of them just now, pei jiao realized that he no longer seemed to be so resistant to their contact. after she placed her hand in his palm, he used the wet hot towel to wipe her hand. this arrogant dog of a man actually had a gentle side. haha! pei jiao sneered in her heart. so what if he was gentle? at the thought that he was wei yu and that he was the man who had broken off the betrothal with her with inconsistent expressions, the little good impression that had just risen in her heart instantly disappeared. pei jiao looked very angry at this moment. she had forgotten to restrain herself. after wiping her hands, wei yu looked up and saw the resentful expression on her face. he frowned and asked, whats wrong? pei jiao came back to her senses and quickly restrained her expression. she quickly pointed at her right hand and frowned, vaguely expressing her meaning. peril guessed, your right hand hurts again? pei jiao nodded in agreement. wei yu: ill get the doctor to come over and take a look at you after dinner. pei jiao smiled faintly at wei yu, thanking him for his concern. she usually smiled openly and did not have much of an image. when she smiled at wei yu just now, she deliberately restrained the smile on her lips and looked very obedient and bright. wei yus expression did not change as he reminded her coldly, you can eat now. seeing that he immediately returned to his cold appearance, pei jiao criticized him in her heart while smiling and picking up the drumstick to eat.. Chapter 431 - Chapter 431: He Fell First chapter 431: he fell first translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jiaos eating manner was not coy, but she was not too bold. it was considered standard. the drumstick in her hand was juicy, and she didnt notice that the sauce was on the corner of her mouth. seeing that it was about to flow down, wei yu frowned and reminded her, theres sauce on the corner of your mouth. wipe it. pei jiao scrambled to get the tissue, but wei yu was already a step ahead of her. he handed her a tissue and reminded her, wipe it with your left hand. pei jiao did not take the tissue from wei yu and looked at him in a daze. wei yu raised his eyebrows. dont tell me you want me to help you? at this moment, pei jiaos expression seemed to be saying, can i? the expression was not difficult to read for wei yu. he was silent for a few seconds, then exhaled. once again, resigned to his fate, he raised the hand holding the tissue and told her, dont move. pei jiao smiled. wei yu pulled a face. dont smile. pei jiao suppressed the smile on her lips and turned into that aggrieved expression again. wei yu realized that he had spoken a little too harshly just now and restrained his tone a little. im not going to be fierce to you. pei jiao blinked at him curiously. wei yu explained, i was born that way. pei jiao: i think so too! bastard! wei yu reached over with a tissue and wiped the sauce from the corner of pei jiaos mouth. it was a very gentle gesture. the two of them were so close that pei jiao could smell the fir fragrance on him. it smelled a little good. she even wanted to lean closer and smell it carefully. she moved closer to him when wei yu was wiping her mouth. she admitted that she was suspected of doing it on purpose. she just wanted to see strange expressions on we yus face. wei yus hand paused. he lowered his eyes and watched her approach him bit by bit. she was careful, afraid hed notice, but she didnt know it. hed seen it all. when she was closer, he moved his lips and said in a low voice, have you smelled enough? pei jiao stopped in her tracks and slowly raised her eyes to look at him. the extremely close distance made their breaths intertwine. this posture was like that of a passionate couple who would kiss passionately in the next second. wei yus heart was in turmoil. he reached out and pushed her away. its clean. eat slowly. after pushing her away, he stood up and turned to leave. pei jiao glanced at the document hag on the table and reached for the empty cup on the table. she knocked on the table a few times. when wei yu at the door heard the sound, he stopped and turned to look at her. pei jiao pointed kindly at the document bag on the table. wei yu gave her a long look, then doubled back and picked up the folder on his desk. but this time he didnt bolt in panic like before. instead, he said, dinner will be delivered on time. and dont try to leave this building. when the missing things are recovered, you can naturally leave here. pei jiao looked at him eagerly. wei yu said, dont look at me like that either. its useless. even if i wanted you to leave, no one here would agree to let you go. pei jiao looked away and lowered her head. wei yus tone had always been casual and never deliberately restrained, but when he spoke to her just now, his tone subconsciously restrained a little. seeing that she was very disappointed, he said softly, no one will mistreat you here. you can stay in peace. when the missing thing is recovered, ill send you home myself. pei jiao thought to herself, send me home? im also looking forward to your reaction when you see my parents after sending me home! hmph! although she thought so, the reality was that wei yu had rejected the betrothal. so what if he knew that she was pei jiao and sent her back to the pei family? would she feel the pleasure of revenge? not at all. she had even suffered! she nodded at wei yu, her obedient expression answering him silently: ill listen. seeing this, wei yus gaze landed on the drumstick in her hand. he reminded her gently, the drumstick is getting cold. finish it as soon as possible, but dont choke. pei jiao nodded. wei yu nagged, you probably wont eat that rice anymore. leave it there. ill come back and clean it up tonight. pei jiao nodded again. wei yu saw that she was very obedient. although he was annoyed that he had become naggy, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. he took the document and turned to leave. she watched as wei yu disappeared before her eyes until the door closed. pei jiao leaned back and chewed on the drumstick without tasting it. she looked at the ceiling with a lifeless expression. it was really tiring to pretend. she had lived very self-centeredly for the past twenty years and had never pretended like she had for the past two days. on the one hand, she had to maintain the fake persona, and on the other hand, she had to deal with it very tiredly. what next? continue pretending? her voice would recover eventually. when the time came, should she say her true identity or make up an identity? however, making up an identity risked being exposed at any time. and her true identity was at risk of being ignored. it was too difficult. the next second, pei jiao suddenly sat up straight, and her expression gradually became serious. if she made up an identity to make wei yu like her, and then let him know that she was the one who had personally canceled the betrothal, how would he react? would he be so angry that he would stomp his feet? he probably would! it would be best to make him fall for her first before she kicked him away. that feeling of revenge would definitely be very refreshing! but imagination was always good. the reality was that the chances of wei yu falling for her were slim to the point of negligibility. even if hed compromised with her just now, it was only because she was a patient and hed brought her here. he was only doing what he could. this cold-faced, cold-hearted man was obviously not a romantic. he probably would not fall for anyone easily in his life. moreover, pei jiao could not imagine what wei yu would be like when he loves someone to death. that was too f*cking terrifying and did not suit his character at all. this way, it would be too difficult to conquer him. in addition, pei jiao did not have any love experience herself. she was about to use up all the small tricks she knew. it would be even harder to flirt with him next. pei jiao sighed wistfully and began to think about how to make wei yu like her. she didnt want him to love her to death. at the very least, she had to think of how to seduce him. pei jiao nibbled on a drumstick as she pondered in confusion. not long after wei yu left, a doctor came to take a look at pei jiaos wound. pei jiao sighed to herself that this person had not forgotten. after leaving, she really called the doctor to look at her wound. around seven in the evening, ji he came with a meal. he knocked on the door. pei jiao opened the door and saw that it was him. one second, her expression was very natural, and the next second, a hint of loneliness flashed across her face. ji he saw this loneliness and explained, young master is not done with his work yet. he asked me to bring you food. he also said that if you need to feed him, i can do it for you. pei jiao glanced at ji he and shook her head. ji he asked, no need? pei jiao gestured. ji he looked at it for a long time before understanding. you want young master to come back and feed you. you wont eat if he doesnt? pei jiao nodded. ji he grinned. then youre dreaming. how can our precious young master feed you personally? pei jiao pointed at the untidied lunch box on the small table and continued to gesture. he was the one who fed me at noon today! the heartless smile on ji hes face suddenly froze. impossible!! pei jiao smiled, her expression saying: of course, its possible! Chapter 432 - Chapter 432: Isn’t Marriage Here? chapter 432: isnt marriage here? translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jiao felt that it was too strenuous to gesture, so she simply ignored the man in front of her and turned around to leave him alone. this silence is the truth move was very effective. ji he immediately walked forward and asked pei jiao, did young master really feed you personally this afternoon? pei jiao stopped in her tracks and glanced at him sideways. she still had that silence is the truth expression. now ji he had no choice but to believe her. and he believes in it one hundred percent. however, he was very surprised. he touched his chin and said, ive worked for young master for a long time, but ive never seen young master so indulgent to any girl. youre really a special case. as he spoke, ji he watched pei jiaos reaction. seeing that she had almost no reaction, he reached out and poked pei jiaos shoulder. do you know what i mean? pei jiao blinked her doe eyes at ji he and replied silently, what do you mean? her gaze was pure and innocent. she was like a little white flower who was ignorant of the world. could it be that young master liked this style? she was really beautiful. ji he, who had seen countless beauties, felt that this young lady in front of him was very beautiful, and it was a beauty that made his eyes light up. it was just that her background was unknown for the time being. if there was nothing wrong with her identity, it was fine. pei jiao was furious when she saw the man in front of her looking at her as if he was examining the goods in the window. she displayed the unreasonable and pampered character that belonged to her current persona and pushed ji he out. ji he was stunned for a moment. before he could react, he was pushed out by the young lady in front of him. as he stabilized himself from being pushed to the door, he asked, why are you angry all of a sudden? dont you want to know what it means? pei jiao: dont you know how angry i am? i cant be bothered to scold you. also, she didnt want to know what it meant because it was boring. seeing that he was pushed to the door, ji he placed his hands on the door frame and sighed at how strong this young lady was. she only used her left hand to push him to the door. he quickly asked, do you have to ask young master to come over? pei jiao lowered her head and pushed him hard with her left hand. she even pried ji hes fingers off the door frame one by one. ji he panicked and quickly said, dont break it off. ill pass a message to the young master, but the young master is very busy now. he probably wont come back. you dont need my help. youre going hungry tonight, or ji hes gaze landed on pei jiaos left hand. i see that your hand has recovered and youre also a hercules. your left hand is too strong. although its a little awkward to hold chopsticks when eating, i think it shouldnt be a problem to feed yourself. get lost! the door closed with a whoosh, shutting ji he out. ji he was dejected. looking at the closed door in front of him, he sighed. not only is this young lady strong, but she also has a temper. not getting anything good, ji he turned around and left resentfully. at this moment, wei yu was so busy in the engineering laboratory that he did not have time to eat dinner. minister lin had already come in to remind him many times, but he was ignored by wei yu. when ji he came in, he had to go through layers of strict identification information, fingerprint recognition, and facial recognition until he entered the laboratory where wei yu was. wei yu was wearing a white lab coat and transparent goggles. he was standing in front of a technology glass table that was about half the height of a person. in front of him was a data display screen. rows of green english data were constantly being refreshed, and wei yu was recording some data analysis on the screen in front of him. ji he did not dare to disturb him. he walked to minister lins side and asked softly, young master havent had dinner yet? minister lin said faintly, workaholic, also known as: all four elements are empty. what do you think? ji he smiled meaningfully. minister lin, empty is lust. minister lin looked at ji he, who was standing beside him, and sneered. lust is the result of empty, and lust is the source. theres a hidden meaning in your words. who is the source? ji he shrugged. theres no hidden meaning in my words. its clearly minister lin who started it. i didnt say that. minister lin rolled his eyes at ji he. dont trap me. didnt you go to dinner? why are you back so soon? minister lin asked casually. ji he crossed his arms and stood casually. not yet. i went to deliver food to that person. i just came back. ill eat later. that? minister lin couldnt remember who it was for a moment. ji he mentioned, its the one young master brought back. with this reminder, minister lin remembered. oh, its that young lady wei yu picked up. ji he nodded. its her. minister lin suddenly smiled meaningfully. that young lady is under your control now, right? then you have to be more careful. take advantage of the fact that she cant enter and leave the base now and be more solicitous. capture her heart as soon as possible. a good marriage will come. minister lin, i appreciate your advice, but i want to live a few more years. he must have eaten a bears heart and leopards gall to dare to covet the person young master had taken a fancy to! even if young master did not express his stance, what young master picked up was young masters private property. minister lin was confused and was about to ask something when ji he quickly said, minister lin, i think young master has finished recording the data analysis. ill go over and pass a message. minister lin reminded him, this matter has already made him worry enough recently. youd better make it short and stop annoying him. ji he made an ok gesture. i know. wei yu had just finished recording the data. he took off his goggles and casually fiddled with the aircraft model beside him. after staring at it for two to three seconds, he began to analyze the data that was different from before. after recording, he still had to go to the testing room to do an electronic vibration test. if he continued to be busy like this, he would probably be busy until one oclock tonight. young master. ji hes voice came from behind. wei yu did not turn around. as he compared the data analysis record in his hand with the changes from before, he asked, what is it? ji he walked behind wei yu. young master, ive sent her the food. because he did not know pei jiaos name, when ji he mentioned pei jiao in front of wei yu, he used the word she or her. wei yus expression did not change. he continued to focus on comparing the data analysis and replied in a calm tone, mm. ji he raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. wei yu sensed it. anything else? ji he immediately said, she doesnt eat dinner. wei yus tone turned colder. whatever she wants. but wei yu slowly raised his eyes and looked away from the data. he turned to look at ji he. what exactly are you trying to say? ji he quickly conveyed the message. its not convenient for her to eat by herself with her hands. i was very enthusiastic about helping, but she didnt want my help. she wanted you! the air seemed to freeze for a few seconds. ji he felt that he had made a mistake in expressing himself and quickly reiterated, what i mean is, oh no, what she means is that young master has to go back and feed her personally.. Chapter 433 - Chapter 433: Her Heart skipped a beat chapter 433: her heart skipped a beat translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations wei yus lips twitched. she said that? ji he nodded at first, then quickly shook his head. she cant speak. its what she means by gesturing, but ive already reminded her to stop daydreaming. its impossible. then she wei yus voice deepened a little. what happened to her? ji he said, she chased me out. wei yu was silent. seeing that the young master did not say anything else, ji he fell silent. he could not quite understand the young masters thoughts. at first, he also felt that the young lady took herself too seriously, but if the young master had really fed her, it was a different matter. as ji he observed his young masters reaction, he probed, this young lady looks soft and weak, but shes actually very strong. i feel that she doesnt need such care. she can completely eat on her own. this is is ji he couldnt remember that adjective, but he didnt dare to say it in front of young master. he pretended to rack his brains for a moment, but he heard the young master reply, too pretentious? ji he nodded. yes! ha! wei yu sneered. ji he felt his blood run cold. he did not know what young masters sneer was meant to express his dissatisfaction, so he did not dare to ask. he could only say, young master, continue working. ill go eat first. you should eat early too. after all, your health is the most important. wei yu acknowledged faintly, then got up and walked towards the testing room. ji he pursed his lips, thinking that the young lady was probably going to be hungry tonight. young master would not go at all. however, if she wasnt stubborn, she would probably think of a way to eat by herself. she wouldnt have to wait for someone to feed her. thinking this, ji he felt a little more at ease. he turned to leave. seeing that minister lin was still there, ji he turned around and walked to minister lins side. the message has been conveyed. minister lin, lets go and have dinner together? minister lin stood up with his phone. i wont go. my wife has prepared dinner and is waiting for me to eat when i get back. ji he looked bitter. most people in this base have wives and children. im so envious. after a few seconds, ji he continued, but fortunately, my young master is also single. i feel better. minister lin smiled. its normal for him to be alone until hes 50 years old. ji he echoed, i think it will be until 80 years old. young master had long retired at that time. perhaps he was still paralyzed in bed because he was tired from work in his early years. its not difficult to fall in love at that time. he just has to lie down. it was unknown what minister lin saw, but the smile on his lips deepened. he deliberately asked, does wei yu know that youre so good at talking? ji he still did not know that someone was slowly approaching from behind. he grinned foolishly. of course, he knows. my young master even praised me for my mouth. im the best at talking. as soon as he finished speaking, ji he heard a cold voice behind him. you do have a way with words. before ji he could react, he picked it up with a smile. right? i knew it he paused, suddenly unable to speak. when ji he saw minister lins expression, he regretted it and wanted to take back his words, but it was too late. he slowly turned around. his neck and body seemed to be not one, and it was very difficult to turn. young master ji he smiled sheepishly. wei yu looked at ji he coldly. eighty years old? ji he lowered his head. wei yu: just lie down? ji he lowered his head even more. he wished there was a crack in the ground so that he could hide. wei yu: this months salary ji he suddenly raised his head. young master!!! however, he couldnt stop the implacable attitude of wei yu. is cut by half. ji he wanted to die. what did half of his salary mean? the blood in his heart could drip for three days and three nights. wei yu walked past ji he with a cold expression, leaving ji he with only one sentence. i hope you remember. ji he sighed. oh. wei yu paused and looked back at him. too little deduction? no, no, no. ji he quickly waved his hand. just right. its enough for me to remember. wei yu snorted coldly and left. ji he belatedly remembered something. young master, youve already changed into your lab coat. are you going to eat? no, arent you going to the test room? you he had already walked away and did not look back. ji he pursed his lips, looking uncomfortable. minister lin walked past ji he. youve been by wei yus side for so long and dont know his temper. youre asking for trouble. ji he wanted to cry. how would i know? why would the workaholic young master suddenly come out? eh, no he must have gone minister lin looked nosy. where to? ji he snorted. why should i tell you? minister lin said, its better to be happy together than alone. ji he said, then ill choose the latter. minister lin: pei jiao was struggling internally. she looked at her right hand, which could eat normally, and then at the clock on the wall. it was almost eight. although she wasnt that hungry, the dishes would get cold if she didnt eat. even if there was heat, how long could it last? it would all go cold before eight-thirty. she would either stubbornly refuse to eat it, or she would go hungry tonight or she could eat it herself. but in that case, didnt it mean that her hands were fine and she no longer needed to be taken care of? then how could she continue to act in front of wei yu? tsk, how troublesome. it was indeed troublesome for her plan. after struggling for a long time, she still didnt want all her efforts to go to waste. wei yu was not easy to deal with to begin with. now that the opportunity was rare, she had to have more contact with him in a short period of time. after mentally preparing herself to starve tonight, pei jiao opened the lunch box and sniffed the fragrance of the food. smelling it is equivalent to eating it. with that, she closed the lid again. to prevent her heart from wavering, she opened the door and went outside for a while, at least without being seen, so that her heart would not easily waver. when she came out, she realized it was snowing. and it had just started. it was just a little snow. like salt, it disappeared when it landed on her body. pei jiao waved her hand in the air a few times, as happy as a child. the big searchlight on the roof of this building was very bright, illuminating a long distance. pei jiao was breathing white mist when she noticed a man in a black coat not far below, walking towards the building. the man was holding a black umbrella. the streetlights and snow created a different atmosphere for him, making pei jiaos heart skip a beat. she had to admit that this bastard was superior from head to toe. pei jiao was stunned until wei yu entered the building. she suddenly realized that wei yu should be coming back. she hurried back into the house and paced to think about what she should do next. suddenly, a thought struck her. i have it. she opened the lunch box in a hurry and took out her chopsticks to open it. feeling that it was a little lacking, she threw the lid of the lunch box on the floor and used her chopsticks to get some rice grains to sprinkle around. then, she held the chopsticks in her palm and ate with difficulty. wei yu pushed the door open and saw this scene. she used her left hand to eat with great effort. she looked aggrieved, as if she would cry at any moment. when she looked up at the sound and saw that it was him, she instantly looked very happy. although she didnt say anything, that expression must have been a greeting: youre back. wei yu narrowed his eyes and walked over. he took the chopsticks from her hand naturally. theres nothing to do over there, so i came back early.. Chapter 434 - Chapter 434: Pull Him Off the Altar! Make Him Cry! chapter 434: pull him off the altar! make him cry! translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jiao couldnt help but think of the man she had chased out. she remembered that the man seemed to have told her very clearly: my young master is very busy and wont come back!! in the end, not long after that man left, wei yu returned. he even told her that he had nothing to do at work and came back early hungry? wei yu put his chopsticks aside and began to unwrap the spoon. he looked up at pei jiao. pei jiao thought to herself, i only had lunch after four. how can i be hungry so early! am i a pig! although she criticized him, she acted exceptionally obedient on the surface and nodded to show that she was hungry. wei yu lowered his eyes and took out the spoon from the package. with the experience of feeding at noon, he held the spoon steady this time so that it wouldnt fall to the ground again. chopsticks are only the most convenient to use yourself. a spoon is more suitable to feed you. with that, wei yu asked her, do you eat rice first or dish? pei jiao pursed her lips and did not react. was it her imagination? this damn man seemed to have become gentle. did he go out to buy a lottery ticket in the afternoon and hit the jackpot?? wei yu kept staring at her and met her gaze calmly. does it look good? he spoke casually to remind her not to get distracted. unexpectedly, she nodded and moved her mouth. although she did not hear a sound, one could tell from her lips that mouthed looks good! wei yu pursed his lips, his expression slightly serious. as soon as he became serious, he looked cold, mean, and not to be trifled with. he thought that expression would be enough to intimidate her, but he ignored her whimsy. the little girl reached out to him. her long fingertips were slender and beautiful, making it impossible to look away. she seemed to want to touch his face. at first, there was no reaction until that fingertip gently landed on the tip of wei yus nose. it was like a dragonfly skimming the water, but it also made wei yus heart throb at this moment. his eyelids moved slightly, then he slowly raised his eyes and looked at her, who was inches away. she was focused on the bridge of his nose. she had yet to retract her fingertips. her little trick that included some probing slid down gently. as if amused, she was a little presumptuous. the eyelashes on her eyelids fluttered like butterflies. she was unbelievably beautiful. i dont like people being so close to me, wei yus eyes held hers as he slowly reminded her. this voice was low and heavy, carrying an indistinct sense of oppression. pei jiao pretended to be slow to react and even grinned at wei yu. although she didnt have dimples when she smiled, the shape of her lips was good-looking. a little pearl protruded from her upper lip, and there were flower petal lines on her lower lip. the whole thing was in the shape of a moon. whether she smiled or not, it was to the extent that it could move ones heart at a glance. especially if he stared at her lips for too long, he would have the urge to kiss her because she looked easy to kiss. at this moment, the atmosphere was just right. pei jiao felt that this was a rare opportunity. she was prepared to create an atmosphere and close the relationship with wei yu to a certain extent. she thought about what expression to make next. it seemed most pretentious. however, she heard a cold voice say, youre acting too much. pei jiao: . sure enough, he was straight. he embarrassed her in a very direct way. she withdrew her hand and slowly stepped back, putting distance between them. she cursed in her heart: tsk, damn man! you dont have any desires, right? you have a clear heart and few desires! youre son of buddha shentan, right? wait! ill pull you off the altar one day! let you cry! pei jiao, who looked obedient and calm on the surface, kept howling in her heart. not only did she howl, but in order to stabilize her expression, she gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. lets eat first. wei yu picked up the food with his chopsticks and fed it to pei jiao. pei jiao opened her mouth obediently and deliberately stuck out her tongue. wei yu moved his hand away, his warning tone slightly cold. eat properly. pei jiao closed her eyes and suppressed her anger. she opened her mouth to a normal size and bit the vegetables that wei yu fed her. beauties could not make a sound when eating. they had to close their mouths to be elegant. she had performed very well this afternoon, but now that pei jiaos bones were rebelling, she insisted on making a sound. her mouth was full of food, smacking them at every moment. wei yu frowned and reminded her, dont make a sound while eating. this is basic etiquette. pei jiao was eating happily. her moving cheeks were very agile. when she heard the reminder of wei yu, her moving cheeks stopped and she blinked at him. wei yu couldnt ignore her gaze. he said word by word, look at the food when you eat, look at the chopsticks, look at the spoon. anything. you dont have to look at me. pei jiao moved her lips and said silently, you look good. it wasnt that easy to read lips, but some of the simpler ones were still easy to understand. all you had to do was stare carefully at the other persons lips as they spoke. wei yu read pei jiaos lips and said in a low voice, its not yours even if it looks good. its not your turn to think about it. pei jiao: . at this moment, her heart: hah! i cant deny that youre handsome! however, handsomeness and narcissism could not coexist. otherwise, your looks would be greatly reduced because of your narcissism!! although wei yu was born with a cold effect, pei jiao seemed to specially counter his temper. even if the atmosphere cooled down, it would not last more than ten seconds. this gave wei yu a headache. he could not imagine that after this woman could speak, the entire engineering base would probably be filled with her noisy voice. seeing pei jiao move closer and closer to him, he asked her, did you have adhd when you were young? pei jiao pouted and shook her head. no. wei yu ignored her shake of the head just now. its good to be a mute from now on. the people around you can have peace. pei jiao: . this damn man was really mocking her! after the meal, wei yu carefully put away the lunch box and packed up the lunch. leftovers were fine for an afternoon, but they were clearly not suitable to stay in the room overnight. they had to be taken out and thrown away. wei yu placed the remaining lunch boxes in the trash can, tied them up, and picked them up. he knew how to do the daily things in life. it was very normal for him to throw trash. however, he had never had the habit of reporting where he went, be it in the wei family or the base. his identity was like this, so there was no need. he picked up the trash bag and was about to leave. pei jiao took three steps forward and grabbed his wrist. the sudden touch repelled wei yu. instinctively, he pulled away and looked down at her. what is it? pei jiaos hand froze in midair for a few seconds before she began to gesture laboriously. are you leaving? wei yu said, youve never learned sign language. its not only difficult for you to gesture, but no one else can understand it. if its not a sentence with especially many words, you can try to lip-read it or write it slowly in your notebook. pei jiao chose the former. if she wrote it, wouldnt she expose that her hand was fine?! she mouthed the question: where are you going? when wei yu understood, he picked up the trash bag in his hand.. isnt it obvious? Chapter 435 - Chapter 435: Do the Most Considerate Thing chapter 435: do the most considerate thing translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations pei jiao continued to lip-read: will you come back? wei yu had to remind her. i live next door to you. of course ill come back. pei jiao smiled happily and nodded. seeing her look of relief, wei yu looked away and turned to go out. until the figure of wei yu disappeared at the door, pei jiao looked up at the sky and heaved a sigh of relief. it was really tiring not to be herself. it was really tiring to cater to someone. the key was that after performing tirelessly for half a day and displaying her true acting skills, the other party was as cold as a block of wood! pei jiao couldnt help but rub her chin and sigh. could this damn man have quit drugs?! of course, pei jiao would not admit that she was not charming enough, just like men would not admit that they were not good enough. then she could only try again. if this bastard kept sitting still, it would be equivalent to an ineffective strategy. when the time came, she would have to think of another strategy. in the end, if it really didnt work, he would follow her original plan and beat him up before running away. after making up her mind, pei jiao planned to apply medicine well for the next two days and let her wounds recover as soon as possible. otherwise, how embarrassing would it be to be dragged down by an unhealed wound! after calculating that he was about to return after throwing the trash, pei jiao quickly fiddled with the hair on her forehead and the hair on both sides of her ears. then, she went outside and stood in the corridor to look out. the snow was getting heavier tonight. she came out just in time. after a while, wei yu returned. he didnt have an umbrella. there was a thin layer of snow on the shoulders of his black coat, and a layer on his fine hair, like white sugar. he raised his hand to brush the snow off his shoulder. seeing her standing there, his face darkened. why are you out here? there was an almost imperceptible anger in his tone. pei jiao was wearing thin clothes. when she saw wei yu coming back, her eyes were almost curved into crescents. she mouthed, im waiting for you. wei yu walked over and grabbed her wrist to lead her into the house. i dont need you to wait for me. the door slammed shut. compared to the strength with which he usually closed the door, it was clearly heavier just now. like i said, i went to throw out the trash. i didnt say i wouldnt come back. just now, you knew to wear a jacket. now youre wearing so thin and standing in the cold outside. youre in good health, right? wei yus tone was heavy as he reprimanded her. he picked up his jacket from the sofa and draped it over her. if you catch a cold, i wont care. he said the most ruthless words, but he was doing the most considerate thing! pei jiao suddenly could not figure out this bastards personality. after he draped his jacket over his body, she smiled and gathered her collar. im afraid youre gone, she mouthed to him. wei yu glanced past her. i do have to leave now. pei jiaos almond-shaped eyes widened slightly. she took half a step forward and wei yu reminded her, i told you not to get too close to me. pei jiao stopped. she pointed at her wrist and mouthed, you even took the initiative to hold my hand just now! there were a little more words in this sentence, but he could roughly understand it. seeing that he did not react, pei jiao even complained, you held my hand and even put a coat on me. you also fed me. you didnt make that! she said the last long sentence too quickly. wei yu only saw her small mouth talking non-stop and did not understand what she was talking about. seeing that he did not react, pei jiao suddenly reached out and pushed him. then leave. wei yu did not notice. so after being pushed by pei jiao, he staggered and took half a step back. pei jiao realized that she had actually pushed wei yu forward. she was secretly happy and continued pushing. however, this time, no matter how hard she pushed, wei yu did not move. wei yu looked down at her. you seem to like to throw tantrums. pei jiao pouted: its none of your business. wei yu: i wont indulge your little tantrums with me. so youd better restrain yourself. when you can leave, ill send you back myself. pei jiao snorted and turned around to ignore him. wei yu did not stay long, let alone tell pei jiao. he went back next door. pei jiao heard the footsteps of wei yu leaving. when she turned around, wei yu had already walked out of the door. at this moment, facing wei yus departing figure, pei jiao cursed him 10,000 times in her heart. she slept well that night. she slept well and woke up early. she was up at six-thirty. after swaying and washing up at the sink, she dawdled until seven. she went out to the next door and raised her hand to knock on the door. while knocking on the door, she did not forget to admire the scene of thousands of pear blossoms blooming last night. it snows every year in the capital, big or small. this year, it fell later than usual. perhaps it was because of the temperature. one was not afraid of the cold when the snow was big, but of the frost. she would be so cold that she would tremble. there was no response. pei jiao knocked faster. this time, on the sixth knock, the door opened. pei jiao almost couldnt stop her hand from knocking on the mans chest. although she almost touched him, it didnt stop her from deliberately pressing her hand against him. wei yu intercepted her wrist. what is it? the man who had just been woken up had a serious morning temper. his voice was clearly hoarse, but his displeasure was real. pei jiao automatically ignored his temper. her gaze landed on the dark suit pajamas on his body and she couldnt help but take a second look. these pajamas seemed to be hanging on a hanger. his supermodel figure was really impressive. moreover, that face could be considered the work of the heavens. it was perfectly sculpted. and there was really a lot of hair. why were most of the good points taken by this bastard? pei jiao was furious as she slowly mouthed, can you take me to the canteen for breakfast today? wei yu looked at her. is that all? pei jiao nodded. wei yu: got it. pei jiao: he agreed so readily? she hadnt even started to show the expression shed prepared. seeing that the door was about to close, pei jiao quickly stretched out her foot and pressed it against the crack in the door, anxiously expressing, im hungry. when are you taking me to breakfast? wei yus eyes were clear and cold. are you a big eater? pei jiaos lips twitched. wei yu gestured. take your foot off. pei jiao pretended not to hear. dont blame me if its stubbed, wei yu said, about to slam the door shut. however, pei jiao was stubborn enough not to be frightened. her feet were motionless. wei yu, on the other hand, stopped in his tracks, he turned around and went in. as he walked, he said, wait for me for five minutes. pei jiao giggled and was about to enter. unexpectedly, it was as if wei yu had eyes on his back. the moment her front foot stepped in, he turned around and reminded her, dont come in. just stand there and wait. pei jiao: . so be it. who cared about coming in! the efficiency of wei yu was very high. he took five minutes, but he really did not exceed it. the coat had been changed to a long black down jacket, and the innerwear had not changed. to pei jiao, this vision felt like something was missing. right, a scarf! lets go, big eater. wei yu locked the door and walked in front of pei jiao. pei jiao was still thinking about what color a scarf would suit him. when she turned around and saw that this person had already walked far away and was not waiting for her, she was so angry that she cursed him dozens of times in her heart and quickly followed. when she followed wei yu, it was as if she had a pass beside her. shes out! shes out! she could finally leave the building! pei jiao was very happy, but she was a little too happy. the snow on the ground turned into water, and her feet were a little slippery. she accidentally fell. she thought she was going to fall on her face as soon as she left the house. at the critical moment, her waist tightened. wei yu wrapped his arm around pei jiaos waist and helped her stand up. then, he reminded her in a low voice, watch the road, idiot.. Chapter 436 - Chapter 436: Near 100 Million Chapter 436: Near 100 Million Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When one scolded someone for being an idiot, his tone could be angry, teasing, or doting and ambiguous Pei Jiao felt that it was indescribably abrupt for her to be scolded like this. However, when she saw his extremely serious and mean face, she immediately felt that nothing was out of place. He was really mean! Wei Yu released her waist and led the way expressionlessly. Follow. Pei Jiao made a face at the back of the dangerous figure. Blah, blah, blah! Before she could retract her expression, Wei Yu suddenly turned around, scaring Pei Jiao so much that her facial features almost twisted together. Wei Yu saw her strange expression and reminded her in a low voice, Watch your step! Pei Jiao pouted. Oh. Ever since she was brought into this secret base, Pei Jiao had never walked more than ten meters away from this building. After that, she would be stopped every time she arrived downstairs. When she was bored, she could only stand on the balcony and look out. Pei Jiao was undoubtedly excited to finally come out with Wei Yu today. She followed behind Wei Yu at a moderate pace, like a bumpkin who had never seen the world. Her gaze darted everywhere, trying to secretly remember some routes behind this building. This was important to her. It could be attached to the escape plan B! When he saw her looking around sneakily, he pursed his lips. You dont have to peek around like a thief. You can look around openly. No one will say anything about you. If you sneak around, youll attract attention. Pei Jiao glared at him angrily. Who was being sneaky? Wei Yu ignored the way she stared. Its useless even if you remember this place, he reminded her in a steady tone. Unless you grow wings and can fly, or burrow like a rat, you wont be able to leave until whats missing is recovered. Wen Qiong had already told Pei Jiao this. At that time, other than being mute, her mood did not fluctuate. Now that she heard Wei Yu say it again, Pei Jiaos heart burned. She took a few steps forward and blocked Wei Yu. In her hurry, she forgot to lip-read and waved her hand blindly. Wei Yu looked down at her. Use your lips. Pei Jiao stopped gesturing and bit her lip angrily. She told herself not to lose her temper when she was at a disadvantage. Otherwise, she would be the one to suffer. Quickly calming down, her expression quickly became much more obedient again. She mouthed, I didnt steal the thing. Why cant I leave? She spoke extremely slowly in the shape of her lips. Wei Yu could be understood. He told her, Whats missing is very important. If you ask me how important it is, I can only say that its more important than your life. The reason why were being careful now is to find it as soon as possible. All entrances and exits are sealed and cant be opened for anyone. Thats why. Pei Jiao was surprised. What could be more important than her life? In this world Never mind. All she could say was that in certain corners of the world she couldnt see, human lives were really as worthless as grass. She could still remember one time when she was overseas and Beike took her to a mysterious place The people who went to that place were all wearing masks. Their identities were mysterious, and most of them were either rich or noble. Under the flickering light, they sat below the stage with the bidding sign in their hands, standing at the top of the food chain looking down at the world like theyre ants. They chased after the living person on the bidding platform in a playful manner Pei Jiao trembled as memories surfaced in her mind. Wei Yu: Are you cold? Pei Jiaos expression darkened a little and she shook her head. Suddenly not in the mood to argue with him, she followed him obediently and they went to the cafeteria. Wei Yu naturally did not miss the brief few seconds of fear on the little girls expression. He did not know what she was afraid of. Although he was a little curious, he would not ask. They reached the cafeteria. Pei Jiao looked around at the scene in front of her in shock. A place similar to the office building was actually a canteen? She had seen the world, but the scene in front of her was still a little rare! Wei Yu saw her looking around with her mouth open. Shut your mouth, he reminded her. Pei Jiao glanced at him. Did this bastard find her embarrassing? Facial recognition was needed to enter to ensure that it was someone from the base. Pei Jiao had not recorded any identification method, so Wei Yu needed to do something about it. After successfully entering, Pei Jiao saw the canteen guide at a glance. After entering, Pei Jiao looked at the empty canteen and thought that she was late. She turned around and asked silently, Is there anything to eat since were so late? Wei Yu found a seat and sat down. Were early. Huh? It was almost seven-thirty, and she was still early? Did everyone here wake up very late? Didnt they have to rush to work at eight oclock in the morning? Uh Thinking back to when she went to wake Wei Yu this morning, Wei Yu seemed to be still asleep. Pei Jiao sat down opposite Wei Yu and asked silently, What time do you go to work? Wei Yu: Eleven oclock. Pei Jiaos eyes widened. Fuck me? Eleven oclock! What kind of fairy company was this! He actually started work more than two hours later than her brothers company! Thinking back, when she learned that she had to clock in to work at 8:30 sharp whether she went to the Pei Corporation or R.E., she became even more determined to save enough money to retire early. Wei Yus company was not bad. She just did not know how good the treatment was. Wei Yu saw all kinds of strange and vivid expressions on her face and asked, What are you up to? Pei Jiao grinned and pointed at her mouth, indicating for him to take a closer look. Wei Yu: Shoot. She asked: Hows your salary and treatment? Wei Yu: More than nine digits. Pei Jiaos jaw almost fell to the ground. Huh? Her mind went blank, and she forgot what a nine-digit number was. She immediately counted with her fingers: 1,000,000,000 Then, with a look of disbelief, she raised a finger. A hundred million? Wei Yu: Yes, this is the annual salary of a specially hired person. Pei Jiao instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Thats more like it. So youre a specially hired person. I know this. Youre like an expert consultant. In short, you have to have a powerful background to become a specially hired person. Your annual salary of 100 million doesnt seem to be much. Wei Yu: Yeah. Pei Jiao continued to be curious. Then how much is your annual salary? Wei Yu: More than nine digits. Pei Jiao pursed her lips. Are you a specially hired person? Wei Yu replied faintly, Yes. Pei Jiao was speechless. Fuck! Youve got bragging going on for you! Putting aside the value of the Pei familys daughter that she could not cash out, how many years would she have to work for this nine-figure annual salary? As if reading her mind, Wei Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, You want to come to work? Pei Jiao clapped her hands and blinked with a smile. Do you have any requirements for entry? Wei Yu: Were not hiring here. The smile on Pei Jiaos lips gradually disappeared. She was not close to the hundred million at all. Wei Yu took his cell phone and scanned the QR code on the table. He opened the menu and pushed the phone in front of Pei Jiao. Order whatever you want. When Pei Jiao saw that the cell phone had been pushed over by Wei Yu, she immediately looked up at him in disbelief. Wei Yu asked calmly, Theres nothing you want to eat here? Pei Jiao nodded. Yes. Then she said, Can I use my cell phone? The opportunity in front of her was very rare for Pei Jiao.. Chapter 437 - Chapter 437: I’m Li You Chapter 437: Im Li You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shed been locked in that building for the past few days. She hadnt seen any electronic equipment other than the television. Every time Wen Qiong came to see her, she had never brought her cell phone. She even asked her to provide her familys contact details and help her contact them. However, Pei Jiao kept pretending not to agree. And that Ji He only had a headset on him. He didnt seem to use his cell phone here. Only Wei Yu had a cell phone. But she couldnt get it. Firstly, she is injured now. She did not have the ability to get his phone without anyone knowing while avoiding Wei Yu. Secondly, Wei Yus attitude was the same as Wen Qiongs. He asked her to provide her own contact number and they would contact them. She knew very well that they wouldnt contact each other at all. They just wanted to be sure of her identity. Even if she revealed that she was Pei Jiao now, she still could not go back. Compared to asking them to contact her parents and saying, Your daughter is with me. Ill send her back after a while. Please dont look for her. This kidnapping tone was too terrifying! A better way would be for her to contact her family herself and tell them that she was indeed safe and sound. But she couldnt get any electronic equipment. At this moment, Pei Jiao was very nervous. She was afraid that Wei Yu would react and snatch the cell phone back. However, Pei Jiao was surprised by the generosity of Wei Yu. He actually said, Sure. Pei Jiao held her breath at first, then right on the heels of being sure that she hadnt heard wrongly, the smile on her face was as bright as it could be. Really? Wei Yu was very happy to see her. He couldnt help but smile. Use it. Just return it to me when youre done. Although Pei Jiao did not know why Wei Yu was suddenly willing to give him his cell phone, she could not deny that she had changed her mind about this mana dog man was no longer a dog and was even very handsome! She clicked on her cell phone to let Wei Yu unlock it. Seeing that there was no lock screen, she subconsciously looked at Wei Yu. Wei Yu explained calmly, I dont have the habit of locking my cell phone. Pei Jiao nodded. Oh, I see. It wasnt convenient to call someone in front of Wei Yu. She mouthed: Can I go over there and make the call? Wei Yu nodded. Of course. Pei Jiao quickly picked up her phone and went to the side. After confirming that she was very far away from Wei Yu, she stopped. She clicked on her cell phone. The wallpaper came with the system. On the page, there were all kinds of software commonly used by young people nowadays. She casually swiped and opened the phone column. Although she was very worried about Beikes current situation, it was rare to get a chance to get a cell phone. It was better to call her father first. She pressed the numbers one by one. When she reached the sixth number, her fingertips suddenly paused. With her super-sharp computer science, she realized that something was wrong. Why was the signal only two bars? She had discovered a signal tower here two days ago. Although the antenna of the tower radiated horizontally and the signal directly below might not be good, when she had followed Wei Yu over just now, she had observed that the signal tower was on the other side. Therefore, according to the level and direction of the antenna radiation, it was impossible for the signal to be bad at the lower angle, which was the canteen! Pei Jiao immediately exited the line. She had been so agitated just now that she had overlooked some details. For example, there would be a delay of a second or two when she clicked into the phone. There would also be a delay of a second or two when she entered the number. She didnt think anything unusual at the time. But now, her professional field reminded her in time that this cell phone was being monitored. She quickly scrolled back to see if there was any strange software. After carefully confirming that she did not find anything, Pei Jiaos face turned cold. This bastard couldnt be praised. To think that she had been so grateful to him just now. This wasnt ordinary surveillance at all. It was a chip implant. She couldnt even tamper with it! Pei Jiao took a deep breath to calm herself down. She turned back with the phone and sat down opposite Wei Yu. When Wei Yu saw her return, there was no joy on her face. Youre done with the call? Pei Jiao looked up at him and resisted the urge to grit her back teeth. She placed the phone on the table and pushed it over. Then, with a long face: I dont remember my familys number. Wei Yu frowned. You dont remember your familys phone number? Pei Jiao pouted and nodded sadly. Wei Yu asked, So you didnt call? Pei Jiao nodded again. Wei Yu closed his eyes and asked in a low voice, Have you thought about it seriously? One didnt have to listen carefully to hear the speechlessness in his heart. Pei Jiao pursed her lips. Perhaps she had hit her head in a car accident and couldnt remember. Wei Yu looked at her. You mean, you could remember your familys phone number before? Pei Jiao nodded. Yes. Wei Yu took the cell phone and tapped on it a few times. It was unknown what he had tapped on. Pei Jiao saw that he was speechless and sneered in her heart. This man was up to no good. After seven or eight minutes, the canteen staff served the food. Pei Jiao thought that it was another breakfast of porridge and buns. She did not expect Wei Yu to order a very sumptuous breakfast. There was also a soup that could be smelled without the lid being removed. It was in the stew pot. Pei Jiao lifted the lid of the stew pot happily, and her smile suddenly froze on her lips. Wei Yu, who saw this, reminded her considerately, Stewed pig brains to nourish your brain. Pei Jiao: . On the MO familys side. Li Xiwu had already moved into the MO residence with her children. In her current memory, this was the first time she had come to the MO residence. Yaoyao and Youyou were also new here. The quaint courtyard was filled with laughter. Youyou was lying on Guan Sulings knee, raising her head and saying something. Guan Suling brushed Youyous bangs lovingly and listened attentively. Yaoyao sat beside Guan Suling. He was carrying a huge guava in his arms. Although he was not as active as Youyou and did not smile as brightly as Youyou, it was obvious that Yaoyao was in a good mood. He liked the atmosphere. Not far away, Li Xiwu came out in a moon-white thin velvet cheongsam. The cheongsam was embroidered with burning flowers, making her figure look graceful. She also had a moon-white cloak of the same color on her shoulder. She was noble and gentle. MO Yan peeled an orange and had just eaten a piece when she saw Li Xiwu walking over. She almost choked on the orange juice. She coughed violently. Ahem, ahem, ahem Guan Suling turned around. Did you get phlegm in your throat? MO Yan pointed at Li Xiwu, who was walking over. Grandma! Cousin came out in the cheongsam you gave her! Wow! When Guan Suling heard this, she quickly stood up. Dao Xi, who was beside her, reached out and helped her up. Matriarch, slow down. With Dao Xis help, Guan Suling turned around. When she saw Li Xiwu walking towards her in her moon-white cheongsam, she knew that it was not her, but her vision still fell into a daze for a moment. She muttered, Ah Zhu. Li Xiwu walked up to Guan Suling and heard her grandmother call her Ah Zhu. She knew that her grandmother had seen her mother through her. She called out softly, Grandma. Guan Suling suddenly came back to her senses. The corners of her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something. Li Xiwu smiled faintly and said her original name frankly. Im Li You.. Chapter 438 - Chapter 438: Rich and Intimidating Chapter 438: Rich and Intimidating Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Guan Suling held Li Xiwus hand and sighed. Actually, youre more like your father, be it in temperament or demeanor. Its just that when you wear this cheongsam, I seem to see your mother in a daze. Li Xiwu asked, Did you custom-made this cheongsam for Mom back then? Yes, Guan Suling said gently. I personally measured your mothers size and custom-made this moon-white cheongsam back then. After she wore it back then, she didnt take it with her. At the mention of MO Zhu, tears flickered in Guan Sulings eyes. Ive always carefully treasured this moon-white cheongsam. I always thought that I could put it on you one day. Now, Ive finally fulfilled my wish. MO Yan walked over while eating an orange and said, That year, Aunt and Uncle were both at the MO residence for the New Year. Ive seen Aunt wearing this cheongsam. Even now, I think its stunning. Li Xiwu glanced sideways at MO Yan. Was I there too? Of course. MO Yan nodded and said with a smile, Were about the same age, just a little younger than you. Every time you and Aunt come back, well play together. As she spoke, MO Yan reached out, wanting to touch the cheongsam on Li Xiwus body. However, before her hand could touch it, Guan Suling gently slapped it away. You just peeled an orange. Go wash your hands before touching it. MO Yan smiled awkwardly. Okay, okay, okay. Ill touch it after I wash it. MO Yan finished the orange in her hand and waved at the servant at the side. The servant went forward and MO Yan said, Bring water. Ill wash my hands. The servant nodded and turned to get water. Guan Suling pulled Li Xiwu over and sat down. During this time, she could not bear to let go of Li Xiwus hand. She gestured to Dao Xi, who was standing at the side. Go get that sable from my cabinet. Dao Xi nodded and turned to get it. At first, Guan Suling looked forward to Li Xiwu wearing this moon-white cheongsam. Now, she looked forward to the purple mink on Li Xiwus moon-white cheongsam even more. She adjusted Li Xiwus shawl. The cheongsam is suitable for early February spring. Although its covered by the shawl, it definitely wont be able to withstand the winter wind. That sable is warm. It will definitely look good on you. Li Xiwu smiled back. Im fine now. Im not that cold. You wont feel cold after changing into it. Youll know its cold later. Guan Suling smiled. Purple will definitely suit you, and purple has a charm. MO Yan teased from the side, Of course purple has a charm, especially on Cousin. I think when Cousin-in-law comes later, hell probably stare straight at her. Guan Suling gave MO Yan a look. Dont tease your cousin. MO Yan chuckled. I know, I know. Cousins ears are red. Li Xiwu looked slightly uncomfortable. Guan Suling waved at MO Yan. Alright, alright. Go do what you need to do. Its rare for me to take a day off from my manager today. If theres nothing to do, I wont leave. MO Yan sat down and insisted on staying. Li Xiwu smiled faintly, then asked MO Yan, Have you accepted the parent-child variety show you mentioned previously? MO Yans eyes suddenly widened. She had wanted to find a suitable opportunity later to talk to Li Xiwu about her work. After all, Li Xiwu was a manager. Some suggestions could be referenced from Li Xiwu. At this moment, Li Xiwu took the initiative to ask. MO Yan immediately sat up straight. Cousin, are you paying attention to this variety show? Li Xiwu replied, I didnt pay attention. I just suddenly remembered and asked. Oh, I didnt take it. Last time, I listened to your suggestion and asked my manager to find out who was invited to this variety show. With that, MO Yan leaned towards Li Xiwu. Its all thanks to your suggestion this time. My manager went to find out that Mr. Lu was also invited to the show. Afraid that Li Xiwu would not be able to remember who the Best Actor Lu in the entertainment industry was, MO Yan quickly added, Its Lu Jia. The show invited him and his wife. Li Xiwu nodded. Yes, I know. MO Yan said, Right Huh! You know! Li Xiwu gathered her shawl. As she sat there, she could gradually feel the coldness. Ive been in contact with Lu Jias wife recently and know that theyre participating in this parent-child variety show. Oh, I see. Although MO Yan was very curious about how Li Xiwu interacted with Lu Jias wife, on second thought, Li Xiwu was a manager. It was not surprising that she knew everyone in the entertainment industry. MO Yan continued, The actresses are all rising, or those with a status comparable to mine, I have to avoid them. But its the same for the male actors. Lu Jias wife has never made it public on any platform. All the popularity and attention is on Lu Jia. If I go, Ill just be a foil, so I simply rejected the invitation. Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. This variety show is indeed very suitable for you from the perspective of a newcomer. The national popularity will increase a lot, but you have a certain status in the entertainment industry now. Its best to avoid being a foil. MO Yan chuckled. Yes, thats why Ive decided to take on the love variety. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. The script has been handed over? MO Yan said, Yes, Ive seen it. Its a blind date variety show. Im looking forward to it. Guan Suling listened to Li Xiwu and MO Yan chat with a smile and did not speak until she heard MO Yan say that she was going on some blind date variety show. She immediately asked, Is it a real blind date or a fake blind date? MO Yan said, Grandma, guess. I have nothing to guess. In any case, if you ask me, youd better go on the kind of blind date variety show that can really bring back a boyfriend. Youre not young anymore. You have to think more about your marriage, Guan Suling reminded. MO Yan patronized the old lady again. This must be a real blind date variety show. I went to this show to resolve my marriage. Guan Suling said, You better be serious. At this moment, Dao Xi brought the sable over. Madam, the clothes are here. Li Xiwu and MO Yan looked at Dao Xi at the same time. Dao Xi, who had returned, was carrying a walnut-colored vintage box. Not to mention how expensive the clothes in the box were, the box was already worth a fortune. Guan Suling raised her chin slightly. Open it and take out the sable. Dao Xi nodded and carefully placed the box on the stone table. First, he took a pair of white gloves from his shirt pocket. After putting on the gloves, he slowly opened the box. After opening the box, what entered Li Xiwus eyes was a violet cross mink. Its fur color was visibly luxurious. With gloved hands, Dao Xi carefully removed the sable from the box. Chapter 439 - Chapter 439: Stunning At a Glance Chapter 439: Stunning At a Glance Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Guan Suling smiled and said, You still have some taste. As soon as she finished speaking, Guan Suling slowly stood up and reached out to Li Xiwu. Darling, come. Li Xiwu knew how valuable this sable was. She didnt dare to wear it easily, so she shook her head and rejected her. Grandma, Im already very satisfied just by admiring it. I dont just want you to admire it. I want you to put it on. Guan Suling gestured gently. Come, get up and try it on. Li Xiwu hesitated. She could tell that her grandmother wanted her to wear it. She didnt know that her grandmother wasnt the only one who wanted her to wear it. Dao Xi and the servants standing at the side, as well as MO Yan, also wanted to see this sable on Li Xiwu. MO Yan leaned over and couldnt help but urge, Cousin, try it on. I cant wait to see you wear it. Seeing that her grandmother was still reaching out, Li Xiwu hesitated for a moment before reaching into Guan Sulings hand and slowly standing up. Guan Suling gently patted the back of Li Xiwus hand. Trust Grandmas taste. Grandma said that you look good in it, so youll definitely look good in it. Li Xiwu asked, This sable is Grandmas collection, right? Sort of. Its been in my collection for a few years. Its suitable to wear on many occasions, but Ive never worn it to any occasion. Guan Suling raised her hand and helped Li Xiwu undo the buckle of her shawl. As she did so, she said, Later on, I realized that I just wanted to collect this beauty, even if I would never wear it on any occasion. The buckle was undone. Guan Suling took off her shawl and handed it to MO Yan. MO Yan took it and placed it on her arm. She could not wait to see Li Xiwu put on this sable. She urged again, Dao Xi, look, put it on Cousin. Dao Xi nodded. Guan Suling retreated a little. Dao Xi walked behind Li Xiwu and carefully draped the sable over her shoulder. She carefully tidied up her fur and retreated to the side. There was no mirror in front of Li Xiwu, so she couldnt see the effect of this sable on her, but the warmth really came at once. Guan Suling smiled and shook her head. Seeing this, Li Xiwu thought that it was because it was very bloated and did not look good. She smiled and said, Its indeed not suitable for me. As she spoke, she was about to take off the sable. No. Guan Suling quickly stopped Li Xiwu from taking it off. Its very suitable. Very suitable. In my opinion, its too satisfying. Ive never seen anyone wear this kind of violet cross mink more charming than you. MO Yan walked around to Guan Sulings side to admire it. Her expression was similar to Guan Sulings. When Grandma bought this sable back then, it was enough to show how good her taste was. Cousin, this sable suits you too well! No one can wear it with your charm. For once, Li Xiwu was a little embarrassed by the praise. If I had a tail, I would probably be able to shake it until it left an afterimage. At this moment, Youyou, who was playing in the flowerbed at the side, ran over. Yaoyao walked behind unhurriedly. Youyou had always been used to pouncing on her mother directly. This time, she didnt. She looked up at Li Xiwu first and after confirming that it was her mother, she didnt pounce on her. Instead, she stared blankly. Yaoyaos reaction was similar to Youyous, and her dazed expression was very vivid. Li Xiwu did not know that the clothes her grandmother had given her raised her beauty to the extreme and magnified it a thousand times. It was said that beauty was not only born beautiful, but also needed to be dressed up. Guan Suling was very satisfied. Seeing that the two little fellows did not dare to acknowledge their mother, she could not help but laugh. Yaoyao, Youyou, do you still know your mother? Youyou smiled and slowly walked to Li Xiwu. Mom is so beautiful- It was the childs purest and sincere praise. Li Xiwus eyes were gentle. Really? Youyou nodded with a very serious expression. Really. Its so beautiful. Li Xiwu smiled. Thank you for your praise, Baby Youyou. Yaoyao watched from the side. Although his expression was not as dazzling and lively as Youyous, if he was willing to express it, he would definitely praise his mother with the best praise like Youyou. Before noon, Pei Jingzhou rushed over after finishing his work. Before Pei Jingzhou arrived at the MO Residence, he had sent Li Xiwu a message. However, at this time, Li Xiwu had brought Yaoyao and Youyou to the back garden of the MO residence with MO Yan. She did not know that Pei Jingzhou was here. Guan Suling was the only one in the front garden. She was lying in a rocking chair, looking very comfortable. Dao Xi led Pei Jingzhou to Guan Suling. Pei Jingzhou greeted politely, Grandma. Guan Suling looked up at her grandson-in-law, whom she had not seen for a while. She smiled gently and said, Darling took the two little guys to the back garden with Yanyan for about a while. Pei Jingzhou nodded and sat down opposite Guan Suling. Guan Suling asked, Youre not going to the back garden? Pei Jingzhou said, Theres no hurry. I think Grandma has something to ask me. Its suitable now. Youre good at reading someones body language. Guan Suling smiled and slowly sat up straight with Dao Xis help. Theres a surprise today. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows in surprise. Surprise? Guan Suling smiled meaningfully. Youll see later. Pei Jingzhou could not guess what kind of surprise it would be for the time being. He only wanted to see Li Xiwu now, but he could tell that his grandmother seemed to have something to talk to him about, so he could only stay. Guan Suling said slowly, When Darling brought those two little fellows back, I couldnt believe that they were actually the twins she gave birth to in Country T back then. No one in the MO family knew that she was pregnant in Country T back then. At this point, Guan Suling looked up at Pei Jingzhou. But when I found out from Darling that even you didnt know, I wasnt so unbelievable. Pei Jingzhou blamed himself. It was my negligence. Guan Suling still understood. Its not entirely your fault. I just found out that Darling did it to save her mother. It was to use cord blood to save the terminally ill MO Zhu. That time, Li Xiwu insisted on doing things her own way. She had hidden it from Pei Jingzhou, so she had naturally hidden it from everyone. Only Li Huaisheng, MO Zhu, and Madam Di Xin knew. Gu Lanshi, who had taken Youyou away, was the fourth to know. Guan Suling looked at the silent Pei Jingzhou and lowered her voice. I understand that she had already given birth for more than a month before the chaos in Country T. Later on, when you brought her back, why didnt you notice that she had given birth? If he had discovered it at that time, these two little fellows would not have been separated for four years. Pei Jingzhou replied slowly, After returning to the country, I stayed in the hospital for more than a month. When I went to see her, she was in a bad mood. The doctor suggested washing away her memories, and I agreed.. In the next three months Chapter 440 - Chapter 440: The Guilty Pei Jingzhou Chapter 440: The Guilty Pei Jingzhou Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Guan Suling asked in a low voice, Does that doctor know Little Yous identity? Pei Jingzhou shook his head. No. Guan Suling said, Then how could He was a doctor I trusted in the past and also the family doctor of the Pei family. Because I was seriously injured, he lied so as to let me receive treatment in peace. After I found out the truth, I fired him. From then on, no hospital under the Pei Corporation used him. Pei Jingzhous expression became even colder. I looked for him a few days ago. He admitted the truth that he didnt tell me back then. Guan Suling understood the reason. You were too ruthless at that time and didnt give him a chance to admit his mistake. He didnt tell you that Little You had a C-section scar on her stomach. It was also his revenge. It was indeed revenge. Because Pei Jingzhou fired the doctor in a fit of anger, all the hospitals under the Pei Corporation stopped hiring him. Coupled with the influence of the Pei family, any hospital in the capital would reject the doctor when they found out about his resume. He couldnt stay in the capital anymore, so he went to another city. Pei Jingzhou had spent a lot of effort to find him some time ago. I cant blame you. Guan Suling saw it clearly. Not to mention you, Id probably do it even more ruthlessly than you. With her methods back then, not only would she make all the hospitals in the capital unable to hire him, but she would also make all the hospitals in the country unable to hire him. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou slowly stood up. Grandma, Ill go find her. She had asked all she needed to know. Guan Suling nodded. Plum forest in the backyard, Dao Xi, lead the way for the new son-in-law. Dao Xi gestured for him to follow. Mr. Pei, follow me this way. Pei Jingzhou nodded slightly and led the way to the back garden. More than ten years ago, with a word from Guan Suling, a large area of wax groves was planted in the backyard. Every year during this season, the wax plums were in full bloom. It was very suitable for people to come and admire the plums in leisure. Because of the pleasant fragrance of the wax plums, they were very attractive to bees. When MO Yan went into the plum forest to pluck the wax plums, she accidentally provoked a bee. When she picked the wax plums, she accidentally picked the bee as well. She only realized that she had a bee in her hand when she heard a buzzing sound. Startled, she quickly shook it off, but the bee had already sent a message. Soon, five or six bees flew over MO Yans head, scaring her so much that she quickly ran and shouted. Seeing this, Li Xiwu wanted to go forward and help, but she quickly couldnt take care of herself. Youyou had also provoked a bee, but it was because she had put a wax plum on herself that she had provoked the bee to chase after the wax plum on her head. Youyou was scared and ran around screaming. Ahhhh, Brother, save me. Brother, save me Yaoyao chased after Youyou. Wait a minute. Take off the plums on your head. Dont run. Youyou had just stopped when the bee buzzed above her head, scaring her so much that she immediately ran again. I cant take it off. Brother, save me Yaoyao was worried. On the one hand, he had to chase after her sister and hold her back, while on the other hand, he had to be careful of the bee sting. Although the heels on Li Xiwus shoes were not high, she definitely could not run. For a moment, she did not know whether to chase after Yaoyao and Youyou or chase after MO Yan on the other side. She looked around and saw MO Yan running back with a gauze hat in her hand. Cousin! Cousin!! I found a hat over there. Its beeproof. Put it on. If you find a hat, put it on yourself. You dont have to give it to me. As soon as Li Xiwu finished speaking, MO Yan, who had run over in a hurry, stuffed the veil hat into her hand. Take it first. Theres more over there. Ill go get it. After MO Yan stuffed the veil hat into Li Xiwus hand, she turned around and ran over. Li Xiwu was about to say something when she looked up and realized that a few bees had also flown over her head. She was so frightened that she quickly covered her head with her veil. She knew that pollen-picking bees or not, they stung to protect themselves from harm. Especially since the bee MO Yan had just provoked had sent out a distress signal. There were a lot of bees around. Li Xiwu turned around to look for Youyou and Yaoyao. Through the white veil, she vaguely saw someone coming. She scratched the white veil and looked over. It was Pei Jingzhou. She was about to wave when she saw Pei Jingzhou walking over quickly. Before she could raise her hand, Pei Jingzhou walked past her. Li Xiwus smile froze on her lips. Even Dao Xi, who was walking behind, was stunned. She raised her hand and took off her veil hat. She turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou walking quickly in the direction of Youyou and Yaoyao. It was true that he was worried about the children, but Li Xiwu could not help but feel a little sad. He actually didnt even look at her. Dao Xi walked over to Li Xiwus side. Little Miss, Young Master might not have recognized you. Li Xiwu looked down at her outfit today. Maybe. He probably did not expect her to wear such a grand outfit to the back garden to admire the plums after returning to the MO residence. In addition, she was wearing a veiled hat when they were far away just now. Pei Jingzhou had already confirmed from afar that she was not her, so he walked past her when he approached. Even so, Li Xiwus heart ached. He couldnt recognize the outfit, but couldnt he recognize her figure? Okay, her idea was a little unreasonable. Li Xiwu handed the veiled hat to Dao Xi and crossed her arms. She raised her chin slightly and looked in the direction Pei Jingzhou had gone. She wanted to see when Pei Jingzhou would notice her. At this moment, Yaoyao had already removed the wax plum from his sisters head. The bee stopped circling the two of them and flew back to the plum forest. Youyou looked up and saw her father. She danced happily and shouted, Daddy Pei Jingzhou only saw his children and did not see Li Xiwu. The first thing he asked was, Wheres your mother? Youyou and Yaoyao were both stunned. The bright smile on Youyous face froze, and Yaoyao looked naturally stunned. Pei Jingzhou slowly squatted down and looked at the two little guys, who were suddenly stunned. You dont know where she is? Youyou also pointed in that direction and said, Mom is there. Pei Jingzhou was stunned. The figure he had seen when he came over appeared in his mind. He stood up and turned away. After the woman in the cheongsam and sable took off her veil hat, Li Xiwus face was already revealed. And he had actually glanced at his wife just now! He thought that the woman in luxurious clothes was the Yanyan that his grandmother was talking about, which was Li Xiwus cousin. Pei Jingzhou turned back. The distance of more than ten steps made him, who was usually calm or strategic, look a little guilty at this moment. He walked closer and shouted, Honey.. Chapter 441 - Chapter 441: Pei Jingzhou: My Wife Is So Beautiful Chapter 441: Pei Jingzhou: My Wife Is So Beautiful Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu still had her arms crossed over her chest and said in a lukewarm tone, Why are you calling me that? Pei Jingzhou never defended himself. I was wrong. The speed at which he admitted his mistake stunned Dao Xi, who was standing behind Li Xiwu. After all, the new son-in-law in his eyes was an influential figure who shocked the business world. However, he did not expect the new son-in-law to De completely ditrerent trom tne outside world m rront or young Miss. Li Xiwu was not angry at first, but when Pei Jingzhou admitted his mistake, she immediately felt that she was in the right. Like an angry wife, she pointed at the path Pei Jingzhou had just taken. I watched you walk from there to here and then there without looking at me the entire time. The explanation was on Pei Jingzhous lips, but he did not say it. Li Xiwu walked up to Pei Jingzhou. There was only half a step between them. He lowered his head and she looked up. You can ignore me when Im standing here. Does this mean that you dont want to see me at all? Pei Jingzhou grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. No. Li Xiwu struggled a few times. His arms were like iron. Seeing that she couldnt struggle, she raised her hand and punched his chest lightly. Is it because Im so beautiful that you cant bear to look? Pei Jingzhou smiled and replied in a low voice, Yes, I dont dare to look. Li Xiwu said, Cut it out. You just answered whatever I said. You didnt sincerely admit your mistake. At this moment, Li Xiwu was only focused on being angry and did not notice the surprise in Pei Jingzhous eyes. He was stunned by her outfit. She had always liked to dress simply. Todays outfit was something he had never seen on Li Xiwu before. Apart from this, it added to her charm. She was so beautiful that he was speechless and dazed. His dark and deep eyes were almost locked on her. Compared to his earlier neglect, it was more polite. He never looked at other women much, but if she was Li Xiwu, it would almost instantly steal his soul. This was Li Xiwus ability to keep a low profile and take Pei Jingzhous life at any time. Li Xiwu saw that Pei Jingzhous eyes were getting darker and darker. She raised her hand and patted his cheek. Why arent you saying anything? Pei Jingzhou said, My wife is so beautiful. Even in a fit of anger, what woman didnt like to hear her husband praise her? She suppressed a smile and forgot for a moment that Dao Xi was standing behind her. She poked his chest with her fair finger. Ill punish you for a month of Pei Jingzhou seemed to know what she was going to say and interrupted her. Dont even think about it. Dao Xi, who was standing at the back, wished he could become invisible or a crack in the ground. He wanted to crawl into it and hide. Young Miss, the new son-in-law. This was daylight! Cousin! Im back. MO Yan, who had successfully picked a large cluster of wax plums, was running over in a gauze hat. Li Xiwu quickly pried Pei Jingzhous hand away and turned around to ask worriedly, Did the bee sting you? MO Yan panted and said, How can that be? I put on the veil hat immediately when I found it. I took it off Halfway through her sentence, MO Yan saw the man behind Li Xiwu and stopped. Li Xiwu turned around and introduced, Hes Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou added, Cant you add the words, your husband? Li Xiwu said, Shut up. Pei Jingzhou laughed. Alright, lets not talk about it. MO Yan was stunned. Of course, she had seen Pei Jingzhou before and knew how legendary Pei Jingzhou was in the business world. She had thought that this rumored cousin-in-law and Cousin should be arrogant outside. She did not expect him to be so henpecked. MO Yan subconsciously laughed out loud. Li Xiwu asked, What did you think of? MO Yan looked at Pei Jingzhou and then at Li Xiwu. She covered her mouth and said, Im just surprised. Li Xiwu could roughly guess what accident she was referring to from MO Yans expression, so she did not ask further. MO Yan gave one of the clusters of wax plums in her hand to Li Xiwu. She didnt give her one basket because it didnt fit her. It was too abrupt. She would look better with one. In order not to be an eyesore, MO Yan took the initiative to bring Youyou and Yaoyao to Guan Suling. The advantage of getting familiar with the two little guys was that MO Yan could easily call them away without coaxing them. Dao Xi followed suit and left. This time, there were only Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou in the backyard. Li Xiwu handed the wax plum to Pei Jingzhou. Take it. Pei Jingzhou obediently took it. Li Xiwu asked, When did you come? Pei Jingzhou held the wax plum in one hand and held her hand with the other. I sent you a WeChat message. Li Xiwu looked down at herself and then looked up at Pei Jingzhou. I dont have any pockets on me. I didnt bring my cell phone over. Figured that since you didnt reply to my WeChat, he said. Li Xiwu smiled and casually chatted with Pei Jingzhou about her daily life. Boyuan called me today and asked me why I didnt send Youyou to kindergarten. I said that I would take two days off from the teacher. Its mainly because Youyou and Yaoyao have just arrived. Youyou has good adaptability. Yaoyao cant, so he has to adapt. If Youyou is always here during the day, Yaoyao will be in a better state. Pei Jingzhou nodded and said, Lets postpone the psychological treatment for two days. Observe the changes in Yaoyao first. Li Xiwu stopped short. Pei Jingzhou stopped and looked at her sideways. Li Xiwu asked, Is there any news about Pei Jiao? She had wanted to ask just now and had been thinking about it for a long time. She casually chatted about her daily life before asking, afraid that there was still no news. After asking, Li Xiwu did not see any dejection on Pei Jingzhous face. She asked, Is there news. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Yes. When Li Xiwu heard Pei Jingzhou say that there was, she immediately asked, Have you brought her back? Pei Jingzhous voice deepened. No, Im just sure shes safe, but I cant confirm her location. Li Xiwu asked, What do you mean? The general situation was that last night, Pei Qingji received a message on his phone. It was a string of Morse code. Pei Qingji immediately found someone to decipher the contents of the Morse code. The final translation of the Morse code read: Safe, Makka Baka. When Li Xiwu heard Pei Jingzhou say that he had translated the Morse code, she couldnt help but laugh. So Pei Jiao has been in a safe place. She just hasnt returned. Pei Jingzhou nodded. She might be trapped in a place, but this place is not dangerous to her. Li Xiwu agreed. Otherwise, the Morse code Pei Jiao had sent must have been for help. She thought of something and immediately asked, Since it was a message in Morse code, did you locate that number? Pei Jingzhou said, I did, but it was covered. It shouldnt have been covered by Pei Jiao. The phone she used had covered the location information. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. As long as shes safe. With that, she was pulled into Pei Jingzhous arms. Pei Jingzhous low voice sounded in her ear.. Are you planning to stay here for a few days? Chapter 442 - Chapter 442: Her Husband Is the Best Chapter 442: Her Husband Is the Best Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She knew Pei Jingzhou would ask about this. It wasnt that she hadnt thought about how long she would stay here. It was mainly because when she came back this time, the MO family was gathered together. Grandma was the happiest. She had to come over every morning, noon, and night to talk to her before she felt at ease. Li Xiwu looked up at Pei Jingzhous expression and asked him, Fourth Brother, how long do you think its suitable for me to stay here? As soon as Li Xiwu finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and hooked it around the back of her neck. Dont ask me first. Tell me how long you want to stay. This is the first time Im back. Of course, Grandma wants me to stay for as long as possible. Li Xiwu told him nicely, So I plan to stay at Grandmas house for ten days. Grandma is old, so its not appropriate for her to go out all the time. But she misses me. I cant come back all the time. So Ill stay a few more days to make Grandma happier. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Seeing that his expression did not change, Li Xiwu said softly, Its just that Fourth Brother has to suffer. Pei Jingzhou smiled. You know its a grievance. Think about how to make it up to me when we get back. Li Xiwus red lips parted. I thought youd say ten days is a long time. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Its a long time. You listened to Grandma, and Ill listen to you. Li Xiwu suppressed the smile on her lips and was about to suppress it. Her mood was indescribably high. Fourth Brother is so reasonable. Im actually not used to it. The hand that landed on the back of her neck slowly moved to the front. His fingertips gently lifted her chin. When did your husband become unreasonable? Li Xiwu felt her jaw itch and her cheek tilted slightly. Thats true. The journey back to the front garden was a little long. There was a stretch of cobblestones ahead. Li Xiwu held Pei Jingzhous arm and walked slowly. When she came over just now, she was holding MO Yans arm. She especially remembered that Yaoyao was following behind with a worried and nervous expression, afraid that she would fall. She casually told Pei Jingzhou about this. Pei Jingzhou looked down at the short boots she was wearing. The heels were thin, about five centimeters. After interacting with him for a long time, Li Xiwu could guess what Pei Jingzhou would do next from his expression. As expected, Pei Jingzhou handed her the wax plum in his hand and stretched his arm across her back to pick her up. Li Xiwu was prepared to be carried by him in advance. Holding the wax plum in her hand, she wrapped her arms around his neck and asked softly, Is it heavier than before? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Do you think Im an artificial scale? Li Xiwu said, The artificial scale isnt as accurate as the electronic scale. Give me an estimate. Pei Jingzhou said, You use it and despise it. Li Xiwu said seriously, I guess so. Pei Jingzhou was so angry that he laughed. He stepped over the goose-warm stones under his feet and deliberately said as he walked, Yes, its much heavier. This time, it was Li Xiwus turn not to laugh. Her expression froze a little and she asked seriously, Am I really heavy? Seeing that she was serious and very cute, Pei Jingzhou was not afraid of her hitting him. He continued to ask for a beating. Yes, it is. Li Xiwu pulled a long face. Looks like I have to lose weight. They had already walked past the warm stone road, but Pei Jingzhou did not put Li Xiwu down. He carried her and said, Theres no motivation to lose weight during the day. Lets do it at night. Ill accompany you. They were already an old couple, so how could Li Xiwu not understand the meaning behind his words? In your dreams. You have to sleep separately here because Im sleeping with Grandma. Just as he finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at her sideways. What about me? Li Xiwu smiled leisurely. The MO Residence is so big. There are so many empty guest rooms. You can sleep in any room you want. Dao Xi will arrange it for you. Pei Jingzhou said, Then what if I miss you? Li Xiwu said, Arent you hugging me? Pei Jingzhou said with a serious expression, I mean at night. Li Xiwu was not shy. She just wanted her face. She looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when no one was around. She kicked her legs a few times. Fourth Brother, put me down. Pei Jingzhou said, Its best to change the first two words to husband. No. Her tone was firm. Pei Jingzhou asked, Are you sure you dont want to change it? Li Xiwu took a deep breath. I wont change. You Hmm Before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by Pei Jingzhou. There was no one around. Li Xiwu, who was being carried, had the upper hand, but Pei Jingzhous kiss was more domineering. Li Xiwu did not have the upper hand at all and was even kissed dizzy. She kept shrinking back. Itsits fine. Pei Jingzhou turned a deaf ear. She heard his drum-like heartbeat and her hand dug into the back of his neck, leaving nail marks shaped like crescent. Only when Pei Jingzhou left her lips in satisfaction did he put her down. Li Xiwus legs went weak from the kiss and she almost lost her balance. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. You cant stand anymore. Li Xiwu glared at him angrily. Stop cracking wise remarks. Thats not it. He leaned forward slightly and his sultry words landed in her ear. Its words that want to sleep with you. Li Xiwus ears heated up. Youre still not talking. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Alright, I wont say anything. Ill only do it. It was not that she had never experienced Pei Jingzhous ability to flirt. He really did what he said. He was in passionate love every day. Passionate love Li Xiwu suddenly thought of something. She took the initiative to lean against Pei Jingzhou and hold his arm. Why dont you tell me about our first love? The two of them walked slowly towards the front garden, their steps in sync. Pei Jingzhou placed Li Xiwus hand in his coat pocket and covered it. He smiled dotingly. Do you want to know? Li Xiwu replied, Yes. Sometimes, I try my best to remember the process of our relationship back then. Whenever her mind went blank, she would always think back to the past. But in retrospect, most of it was images from dreams. She couldnt remember anything that hadnt appeared in the dream. Miss, Sir. At this moment, someone walked over. It was Dao Xi, who had returned. When Dao Xi walked over, he saw the young lady and the son-in-law walking together hand in hand. Their relationship was very enviable. Li Xiwu asked, Is it time to eat? Dao Xi nodded. Yes, Madam asked me to come and invite you to the front hall for dinner. Alright, Ill be right there, Li Xiwu replied with a smile. Dao Xi nodded. After informing them, he turned around and left first. It seems that I still have to wait until I remember all those pasts myself. Li Xiwu looked up at him. Arrange a suitable time for me as soon as possible. Pei Jingzhou did not respond and looked at her quietly. Li Xiwu pursed her lips slightly. The last time I mentioned this to you, you at least dealt with it on the surface. Today, you dont even deal with it on the surface. Pei Jingzhous expression returned to coldness. Its good now. Li Xiwu looked at him without blinking. Are you making a decision for me? Pei Jingzhou asked softly, Can I? Chapter 443 - Chapter 443: I’ll Love It Chapter 443: Ill Love It Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu retracted her hand and pursed her lips, her expression slightly serious. Probably all couples were like this. They were clearly talking and laughing a second ago. They were intimate and their relationship was ridiculously good. But in the next second, because of a disagreement, they fell out silently. Pei Jingzhou knew that she was angry and tried to say something. However, Li Xiwu did not give him a chance. She turned around and left, leaving Pei Jingzhou alone. Pei Jingzhou: They parted on bad terms. After the meal, the atmosphere at the table was especially strange. As MO Yans parents and brother were in the company, Auntie MO Yujin was also at the Qin familys side. Other than Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou, there were also Guan Suling and MO Yan at the dining table. There were many people, but it was not lively at all. Li Xiwu ate in silence, and Pei Jingzhou did not speak. The two little fellows seemed to have smelled the unusual strangeness and ate quietly. Guan Suling and MO Yan looked at each other. MO Yan shrugged, indicating that she didnt know what had happened either. Guan Suling did not know that this couple had been like this since they came back from the backyard. Guan Suling gave MO Yan a look, and MO Yan understood Grandmas look at a glance. She turned around and cleared her throat. Cousin! Li Xiwu looked up at MO Yan. Huh? The words that MO Yan had prepared were instantly stuck in her throat. She asked instead, Did lunch suit your taste? Li Xiwu said, Mhm. MO Yan smiled awkwardly. As long as it suits your taste. Eat more. Li Xiwu nodded slightly. Okay. MO Yan turned to look at Guan Suling and shrugged, silently saying, Grandma, Ive tried my best! Guan Sulings expression said, Alright, eat your food. Next, Guan Suling personally went into battle and called out at Pei Jingzhou, Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou looked up at Guan Suling. Guan Suling smiled benevolently and pointed at the dish beside Pei Jingzhous hand. Darling likes to eat wood ear. Give her some. Pei Jingzhou looked at the plate of cabbage and wood ear beside him, then turned to look at Li Xiwu. Then, he picked up some wood ear and placed it in Li Xiwus bowl. Li Xiwu did not reject the food Pei Jingzhou picked up, but she did not eat it, either. She only ate the food she picked up. It was obvious that she was still angry. Seeing this, Guan Suling finally stopped being a busybody. Although she was also quite curious. Why did this couple suddenly fall out? After lunch, Li Xiwu returned to the room she was staying in. Pei Jingzhou did not follow her in advance. After that, he did not know where her room was, so he asked his grandmother. Guan Suling walked up to Pei Jingzhou and asked, Why are you two still fighting? Pei Jingzhou looked helpless. Its my fault. Guan Suling said, I know its your fault. Otherwise, Darling wouldnt have ignored you. Tell Grandma. How did you provoke her? Pei Jingzhou had not planned to say anything. But at this moment, he changed his mind and mentioned it directly in front of Guan Suling. She wants to recover all her memories. Guan Suling reacted quickly. You didnt agree? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Mm. Has Darling mentioned this in front of you a few times? Guan Suling caught the main point. Pei Jingzhou said, She did, but I brushed it off. No wonder Darling ignored you. Its understandable. Guan Suling expressed her understanding. Pei Jingzhou remained silent. He looked in the direction where Li Xiwu had left. Li Xiwu was no longer in that direction. Guan Suling called Dao Xi over. Lead the way to Young Misss room. Dao Xi nodded and went forward to lead the way. Pei Jingzhou was about to follow when Guan Suling reached out and patted Pei Jingzhous arm. Wait. Pei Jingzhou turned around. Go ahead. Guan Suling said slowly, Actually, I think the same as you. I dont agree with her remembering everything. Its very good now. Shell live happily with you and have the two little guys by her side. If she thinks about the past, shell be sad from time to time. After a pause, Guan Sulings tone softened. The past is not good, and its not good to think about it, but its still a part of her complete life. Without this part, its incomplete. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Youre right. Thats the logic. You can insist on your plan, and I wont object. Coax her well. If you change your mind, remember to tell me before you make the arrangements so that I can accompany her. Guan Suling finished her sentence unhurriedly. Pei Jingzhou replied, Thank you for your guidance, Grandma. I know what to do. Guan Suling took her hand away. Go. Ill watch over the two little guys. Alright. Pei Jingzhou agreed and turned around. He followed Dao Xi to Li Xiwus room. After Li Xiwu returned to her room, she stopped being stuffy. She knew that Pei Jingzhou would be here soon, but she did not deliberately wait for him. She picked up the ball of yarn and the bar needle from the basket and continued to knit the scarf. She did not know this skill. She had learned it from her grandmother yesterday. It was a very simple flat needle. She had probably learned it herself. She planned to knit a scarf for Pei Jingzhou. Because she had just learned it and it was her first time knitting a scarf, it might be a little ugly when she knitted it. Her knitting technique was a little untidy and looked crooked. After knitting it to the length of an arm, it would look alright, but he could not take a closer look. She thought it made sense. After all, it was the first scarf shed knitted for him herself. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Come in, she said. Pei Jingzhou gestured behind him. Go back. Dao Xi nodded and turned to leave. Li Xiwu glanced at him and met his dark eyes. She immediately retracted her gaze and continued to knit her scarf. The atmosphere was quite quiet. Neither of them said a word. Pei Jingzhou watched her knit quietly. After an unknown period of time, Li Xiwu finally lost her composure. She asked first, What are you doing here? Seeing that she spoke first, Pei Jingzhou smiled. Im here to look for my wife. Li Xiwu looked away and continued to knit the scarf in her hand. Your wife doesnt want to see you. Pei Jingzhou said, I know. Li Xiwus voice was muffled. Then why are you still here? Pei Jingzhou reached out and grabbed Li Xiwus wrist. Li Xiwu looked up at him and saw him say, Ill make the arrangements. Li Xiwu asked despite knowing the answer, Arrange what? Pei Jingzhou was not perfunctory. For you to regain all your memories. Li Xiwus eyelashes fluttered. When are you going to make the arrangements? Pei Jingzhou asked her, Which day do you want? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. As soon as possible. Okay, Pei Jingzhou agreed. Just for the next two days. Ill arrange it. Li Xiwu threw away the knitting thread in her hand and pounced on Pei Jingzhou without any warning. Pei Jingzhou, Ive been asking you to compromise. Are you tired? Pei Jingzhou hugged her tightly. Ill gladly endure it.. Chapter 444 - Chapter 444: The Hypnotic Doctor Back Then Chapter 444: The Hypnotic Doctor Back Then Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou did not brush her off this time. He had promised Li Xiwu that he would arrange a doctor for the next two days. He meant what he said and almost without delay. Two days later, Li Xiwu received a call from the psychiatrist from back then. At that moment, she had just finished her morning meeting and came out of the meeting room. She was waiting for the elevator to return to the office downstairs. The elevator arrived, but she didnt enter. She turned to the corridor window and picked up the call. Hello, this is Li Xiwu. A young mans voice came from the other end of the line. Hello, Mrs. Pei. Li Xiwu took down her cell phone and looked at the phone. After confirming that it was an unfamiliar number with no caller ID, she pressed the phone back to her ear. You are? The man introduced himself in a gentle voice. Im Jiang Ce. Jiang Ce Li Xiwu quickly filtered the name in her mind. She didnt have any memories. It seemed that she really didnt know him. At least until she met this person, Li Xiwu really couldnt remember if she knew someone called Jiang Ce. She asked the other party why he had made this call. There was a smile in Jiang Ces voice. I was your hypnotist back then. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiwus breathing stopped. She suddenly gripped her cell phone tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white. On the other end of the line, Jiang Ce seemed to be able to sense her emotions. Actually, it was obvious just by thinking about it. After all, he was the key character in her memory loss. Mrs. Pei, I didnt contact you unilaterally. It was Mr. Peis idea, so I took the initiative to contact you. Sorry to disturb you. Jiang Ces tone was neither fast nor slow, making her feel inexplicably relieved. Li Xiwu said, Not at all, Doctor Jiang. Jiang Ce asked, When is it convenient for you to be free? We have to meet first. Li Xiwu raised her eyes and looked out of the window. Its convenient for me. Doctor Jiang can decide. Jiang Ce said, From what Mr. Pei said, Mrs. Pei is a little anxious about this matter. Since Mrs. Pei just said that its convenient, how about today? Today was indeed too sudden. However, what she said just now came from Li Xiwus mouth, so she naturally could not go back on her word easily. She nodded. Okay, this number is Dr. Jiangs WeChat, right? Yes, Jiang Ce replied. Private WeChat. Li Xiwu said, Then Ill add you later. Clear it and send it to me after confirming the address. Jiang Ce replied, Okay. After ending the call, Li Xiwu sighed. She was clearly the one who desperately wanted to recover her memories, but when she brought the process up, she became timid again. She stared out the window for a long time, then picked up her phone and copied the phone number from before. She opened WeChat to search. Two minutes later, she and Jiang Ce were each others friends. Jiang Ce sent a location: Ill wait for Mrs. Pei here before eleven-thirty. Li Xiwu clicked on the location. It was a relatively high-end cafe. Exiting the location, she typed a reply: Ill be there on time. Jiang Ce did not reply. Li Xiwu also put away her cell phone. She turned around and took the elevator downstairs to her office. Tomorrow night was the annual banquet. It was definitely busy, so this mornings meeting was half an hour longer than usual. The annual banquet of the entertainment media company was similar to the process of other large companies. The only difference was that the other companies annual meetings were all company employees. Other than the company employees, all the artists of Hua Guan Media were invited to the annual banquet. An artist wanted to produce a picture, and the scene had to be big. All the equipment would be carried out according to the standards of the red carpet. It was also the companys own business, so all aspects would be supervised in a more meticulous and strict manner. Li Xiwu was busy with the annual banquet tomorrow night when she received a call. Her expression darkened. After ending the call, she called Yuanyuan. Bring her here. With that, she hung up and continued to deal with the things in her hands. Half an hour later, Yuanyuan knocked on the door and entered. Miss Li. Li Xiwu looked up and saw Yuanyuan enter. She did not see Xue Jinzhu behind her and asked, Wheres Xue Jinzhu? Yuanyuan pointed at the door. Li Xiwu did not have a good expression on her face, and her tone was a little cold. Call her in. Yuanyuan took a few steps back and said to Xue Jinzhu, Miss Li wants you to go in. Xue Jinzhus eyes were red. Im too ashamed to see Miss Li. Yuanyuan persuaded her, Its already happened Alright, alright, alright! Xue Jinzhu interrupted Yuanyuans persuasion. Youve said this to me more than ten times. My ears are almost calluses. Yuanyuan fell silent and looked at Xue Jinzhu silently. This gaze made Xue Jinzhu feel guilty for a few seconds. She sniffled and said, Ive already beaten him up. If the other party wants to sue me, just sue me. At most Ill apologize. Yuanyuan gave her a thumbs up. You have a plan. Hmph! Xue Jinzhu composed herself and walked into Li Xiwus office with her head held high. At this moment, Li Xiwu was focused on her computer. When she heard the voice, she casually glanced at Xue Jinzhu, who had entered, and continued to deal with her work. Xue Jinzhu did not dare to disturb her and stood quietly at the side. Li Xiwu sent an MSN to Qi Jiangchi. The content was the other invitation list she had just checked. After finishing her work, she moved her chair and looked up at Xue Jinzhu, who was standing obediently outside the desk. Xue Jinzhu sensed Li Xiwus gaze and lowered her head even more, not daring to look at her. Li Xiwu shouted, Xue Jinzhu. Xue Jinzhus shoulders trembled and she slowly turned her head. She only dared to glance at Li Xiwus expression from the corner of her eye. Seeing Li Xiwus shocked expression, Xue Jinzhu swallowed hard. Miss Miss Li Xiwu folded her hands and placed them gently on the table. She asked Xue Jinzhu, Do you know what trouble youve caused? Xue Jinzhu nodded obediently. Li Xiwu said, Answer me. Xue Jinzhus muffled voice said, I know. Li Xiwu frowned. Louder. Li Xiwu suddenly stood up, and the movement almost scared Xue Jinzhu to tears. Actually, Li Xiwu was not scary, and her aura was not scary. However, Xue Jinzhu had done something wrong. She was guilty and flustered, and her face was pale. That was why she was so frightened that she trembled again. If Li Xiwu were a man, she would have already felt pity for Xue Jinzhu. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. What are you afraid of? Xue Jinzhus voice was as thin as a mosquito. I hit someone. Li Xiwu said, So youre afraid that Ill hit you too? Xue Jinzhu nodded subconsciously. When she reacted, she immediately shook her head. No, no. Li Xiwu sat down again and looked up. She asked calmly, Tell me what happened and how you quarreled with the other party. In the end, you fought. Dont hem and haw. There are no outsiders here. Tell me clearly. Xue Jinzhu asked first, Miss Li, have your anger passed? Chapter 445 - Chapter 445: So It’s an Acquaintance Chapter 445: So Its an Acquaintance Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu said, How can I be angry if you dont tell me? Xue Jinzhu shook her head. Then I wont say anymore. Li Xiwus eyes suddenly turned cold, scaring Xue Jinzhu so much that she did not dare to throw a tantrum anymore. She quickly explained everything and did not dare to hide a word. Li Xiwu spent five minutes listening to Xue Jinzhu and another two minutes sorting out the order of what she had said. In the end, she looked at Xue Jinzhu. Arent you the one who attacked first? Xue Jinzhu said angrily, If she didnt scold me first, I wouldnt have scolded her using my hands. Besides. Xue Jinzhus tone sounded extremely aggrieved. Were all from the same production team. We meet all the time. She doesnt say anything bad about me behind my back and deliberately lets me hear it. Isnt she asking for a beating? Li Xiwu said, So you couldnt hold back your temper and attacked first. Xue Jinzhu nodded. Li Xiwu sighed softly. Your temper is still so explosive. Youll attack without a word. You cant do this. Hearing Li Xiwus words, Xue Jinzhu was stunned. Is that all? A sigh and a sentence? Is she not going to scold her? Xue Jinzhu was already prepared to be scolded, but Miss Li did not seem to have any intention of scolding her. Miss Li, this is my first time filming a television drama, and its also the first time Ive attacked an actress in the same group on set. The matter is relatively bad. The director wants me to apologize to her, Xue Jinzhu said softly. Li Xiwu asked, Shouldnt you apologize? Xue Jinzhu bit her lip. But she scolded me first. Li Xiwu raised her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. Silly girl, it doesnt matter if youre the female lead or a resource celebrity. The law stipulates that no matter what the cause is, as long as you beat someone up first, its wrong. Youll be criticized, educated, and punished administratively. Xue Jinzhu pouted. Its just being criticized and educated. Its nothing. You dont think much of it, but if the other party doesnt accept the mediation and claims that shes dizzy and insists on going to the hospital to write an injury certificate and hold you accountable, no matter how many mouths you have to defend yourself, youll be indicted in a criminal case. The prosecutors office will sue you and finally sentence you to detention. Is it worth it? Xue Jinzhu was stunned. At that time, she had only thought about throwing the handle after the blade. She had never thought about these pros and cons. Miss Li, then I Xue Jinzhu wanted to ask something. Li Xiwu interrupted, Are there any scenes in the afternoon? Xue Jinzhu said, I dont have any scenes this afternoon. Li Xiwu said, I mean the actress you beat up. Xue Jinzhu reacted. She seems to have two scenes. Li Xiwu said, Buy a gift, bag, or perfume. You can decide for yourself. Its best if you send her something expensive. Spend some money to treat the entire production team to coffee. Use your specialty and be sweeter. Acknowledge your mistake in front of the director. Hearing Li Xiwus arrangements, Xue Jinzhus eyes gradually widened. Do I have to really do that? Not necessarily. Its up to you. Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhu calmly. If she doesnt pursue the matter, just treat it as good luck. Be careful next time. If she pursues the matter, just wait for the prosecution. Xue Jinzhus mouth fell open. Ah Li Xiwu added, Of course, in addition to being sued by the prosecutors office, the production team will also sue you for compensation for delaying the filming process. Xue Jinzhu slowly closed her mouth and whispered back, I know what to do. Li Xiwu said, What? Xue Jinzhu said loudly, Miss Li, I know what to do. Li Xiwu smiled in satisfaction. She looked at the time on the screen. It was time to leave to see Doctor Jiang. Picking up the cell phone from the table, she stood up and walked out from behind her desk. Walking up to Xue Jinzhu, Li Xiwu said, In the entertainment industry, its not like your circle of rich second-generation heirs, where countless people will surround you and praise you. There are many people in this circle who are more capable than you. Those first-tier celebrities can be humble. Remember, it wont hurt to keep a low profile. If youre too arrogant and domineering, youll suffer. You wont be able to be smug for long. Youll eventually suffer. Xue Jinzhu nodded. Ill remember. Li Xiwu nodded. Go to the production team and do what you have to do. Come back early. Ive already chosen the gown for tomorrow nights annual banquet. Just go to Nan Xin. Shell give you the gown. Xue Jinzhu asked, What about you, Miss Li? Where are you going? Xue Jinzhu noticed that Li Xiwu had even brought her bag. She was getting off work. I have something to do. I wont be back this afternoon. When Li Xiwu passed by Yuanyuan, she reminded her, Remember to urge her to come back early to try on the gown. Yuanyuan said, I understand, Miss Li. Only Xue Jinzhu and Yuanyuan were left in the office. Yuanyuan went forward. Sister Jinzhu, we I know, I know. Xue Jinzhus voice was weak. Apologize to that bitch and treat the entire production team to coffee. Yuanyuan said, I know that makes it difficult for you. Xue Jinzhu said, No matter how difficult it is, I will still do it. Miss Li is right. This is the entertainment industry, not my carefree and free circle of rich second-generation heirs. Since I insisted on entering this circle back then, I have to accept the rules of this circle. Yuanyuan was relieved that her daughter had grown up. Sister Jinzhu, the fact that you can think like this means that youve grown up. Xue Jinzhu couldnt withstand the praise. The moment she was praised, she almost smiled until her teeth were visible. Lets go, lets go. Hurry up and finish the business. Ill come back to try on the gown. Yuanyuan followed. Okay. Li Xiwu took the elevator straight to the underground parking lot and drove out. She adjusted the GPS and located the cafe that Dr. Jiang had sent. It was about a seven or eight-minute drive. After getting out of the car, she sent Dr. Jiang a WeChat message: Im here. She walked into the cafe when her cell phone beeped. It was a reply from Dr. Jiang. I know. I saw you. Li Xiwu stopped short. She looked around and saw a young man sitting by the window. The man was raising his hand to her. Li Xiwu walked over. Li Xiwu was about to reach out, but when she saw Doctor Jiangs appearance clearly, her outstretched hand stopped. Then she retracted her hand. Jiang Ces hand was still outstretched, but he was not embarrassed at all. He gestured. Please sit, Mrs. Pei. Li Xiwu sat down and put her bag aside. She said with a faint smile, Its indeed been a long time, Dr. Jiang. Wasnt Doctor Jiang the person who had cooperated with Gu Lanshi to hypnotize her when she went to the Li Mansion? When she woke up, she saw this person. But she hadnt seen him since. After she went back that day, she did have some dreams on and off, dreams that reminded her of the past. Its an honor to be remembered by Mrs. Pei, Jiang Ce said with a smile. Li Xiwu slowly said, Doctor Jiang was the doctor who hypnotized me four years ago. You were also the doctor who tried to recover my memory by helping Gu Lanshi four years later. I want to know what role Doctor Jiang played in this. Jiang Ce smiled. Thats not important. Li Xiwu picked up her bag and got up. Jiang Ce shouted, Wait, Mrs. Pei. Li Xiwu looked down at him. Jiang Ce smiled bitterly. Ill talk. Ill talk. Sit down first. Li Xiwu gave him face. Moreover, she had only stood up and pretended to leave for show. She sat down. Jiang Ce handed her the order. What would you like to drink, Mrs. Pei? Li Xiwu ordered a caramel macchiato. A moment later, the attendant served coffee. Li Xiwu picked up the spoon and gently stirred the bottom of the cup. She said softly, Doctor Jiang, theres no harm in saying so. Jiang Ce straightened his face and said, Actually, Mrs. Pei already understands. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and remained silent. Jiang Ce said, You didnt completely recover your memories after that day at the Li Mansion. You only remembered some fragments. Coupled with the fact that you saw me today, you must have understood. Li Xiwu put down her spoon and looked at Jiang Ce steadily. Why didnt you let me recover my memories that day? Jiang Ce said, Mr. Pei wont allow it. Li Xiwu said, Then why does it remind me of some things? Jiang Ce replied, I have to show some skills to make Mr. Gu believe me. Li Xiwus lips twitched. You took two sets of money, right? How can you call it taking two sets of money? Jiang Ce smiled ingratiatingly. This is called the ability to earn money.. Chapter 446 - Chapter 446: Unforgettable Chapter 446: Unforgettable Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The caf was backed up to the central business district. Most of the people who came here for coffee were white-collar workers. There was no noise. It was quiet. Li Xiwu had been mentally prepared on the way here. Faced with Jiang Ces words, she took a sip of her coffee and nodded frankly after putting it down. Sure. Jiang Ce said, Then Ill ask? Li Xiwu said, Okay. Jiang Ce knew in his heart what to talk about. He would not be too direct, lest Li Xiwu feel repulsed and disgusted. After that, there were more than twenty minutes of questions and answers Mrs. Pei, do you remember the first time you had a memory fluctuation? When I went to Mount Liang to record a show and was accidentally injured. Injured on the head? Yes, the head. What did you remember? I remember After about two minutes, Li Xiwu slowly replied, I remembered the last time I saw my father in Country T. In the end, he disappeared from my sight. Jiang Ce understood that these memories were too sad, which was why Li Xiwu did not answer immediately. Jiang Ce continued to ask, Did you recall the past in a dream every time? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes. Do those scenes in your dreams make you sad every time? Yes. Every time? Every time. Jiang Ce said, Because those are unforgettable. Li Xiwu choked, and the smile on her lips became more and more bitter. Shouldnt unforgettable feelings be mixed with sorrow and joy? Why do I only think of sorrow? Jiang Ce was silent and did not give her a complete answer immediately. Worried that Li Xiwus emotions would be in chaos, he changed the topic for the time being. Do you need snacks? Li Xiwu shook her head. No. thank vou. She looked directlv at Tiang Ce. Go Dont worry about my emotions. I remember most of it. Nothing can affect me. Jiang Ce clasped his hands on the table and said seriously, You remember most of it. In fact, it refers to most of your experiences in Country T. There have never been any scenes of you living in the capital, right? Jiang Ces words hit the nail on the head. It was also something Li Xiwu had always neglected. Not long ago, she had a dream. She dreamed that her mother had passed away and she had just given birth Everything that happened in the dream was very sad, as if she had been born very bitter and had experienced all kinds of hardships. Now that she had lost her memories, her life was peaceful. Seeing that Li Xiwu had already realized it, Jiang Ce smiled. At this point, lets put this topic to the question you asked me just now. You said that the dream was filled with sorrow. I said that it was an unforgettable experience for you, but you asked me again, shouldnt unforgettable sorrow and joy be mixed? Yes, its sorrow and joy, happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. Its sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. Its your entire life. Li Xiwu frowned, as if she was gradually understanding what Jiang Ce meant. Jiang Ce continued, Your sorrow happened in Country T and also ended in Country T. That was the cause and end of everything, so everything you saw in your dream was destined to be sorrow. From the first time you dreamed of the last time you saw your father in Country T, all you cared about was everything that happened in Country T. This also caused your subsequent dreams to be filled with sorrow. These were all points that Li Xiwu had always neglected. She suddenly understood, and the bitter smile on her lips turned to relief. Ever since I remembered those pasts intermittently, Ive always felt that the first twenty years of my life were sad. In fact, only that year was a hurdle I couldnt cross. From then on, it became a chasm I couldnt cross. I never thought about my life before that year. Jiang Ce was relieved. Yes, your understanding is correct. Li Xiwu looked up at Jiang Ce. Doctor Jiang, do you have anything else to ask? Ive roughly understood everything, Jiang Ce said and raised his hand to look at his watch. Its exactly twelve oclock. Ill book the cafeteria first. Li Xiwu replied, Okay. After leaving the cafe, Li Xiwu learned that Jiang Ce had taken a taxi, so she invited him to take her car. Jiang Ce did not refuse and got into the car with Li Xiwu. Jiang Ce was fastening his seatbelt when Li Xiwu adjusted the route and was about to drive. She placed her hand on the steering wheel when she noticed a familiar car appear in the outer rearview mirror. Convinced she wasnt seeing things, she turned to Jiang Ce. Drive my car. Jiang Ce was surprised. However, he quickly understood the reason because Li Xiwu said, Ill take the car behind. Jiang Ce couldnt see the car behind him in the inner mirror on his right, but he could guess who it would be. He unbuckled his seatbelt. Okay, Ill drive. Li Xiwu pushed open the car door and got out. Jiang Ce walked around the front of the car to her side and got into the drivers seat. After closing the door, he said to Li Xiwu, Mrs. Pei, Ill wait for you and Mr. Pei in the restaurant. Li Xiwu nodded. Okay. The car drove away. Li Xiwu turned around and went to the car behind. Seeing this, Chen Xin got out of the car immediately and opened the car door for Li Xiwu. Madam. Li Xiwu thanked him and bent down to get into the car. Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways and said in a low voice, You can pretend that you didnt see me. Li Xiwu smiled. Its so obvious. If I dont see it, wont I be nagged by Mr. Pei for two or three days when I go back? Her tone was light and her eyes were bright. It was obvious that she was in a good mood. Pei Jingzhou asked softly, Do I look like someone who can nag? Li Xiwu took his arm. Thats hard to say. Pei Jingzhou covered her hand with his palm and held it gently. Where are you going? After Chen Xin received it, he adjusted the navigation and set off. Along the way, Li Xiwu had a lot to tell Pei Jingzhou about what she had chatted with Jiang Ce in the cafe and some of her own thoughts. Pei Jingzhou could clearly feel some changes after Li Xiwu and Jiang Ces conversation. This was probably enlightenment in a sense. After Jiang Ces guidance, Li Xiwu opened up all the knots in her heart. Those meaningful conversations made her understand a lot of things that she had neglected before. The car arrived at the restaurant Jiang Ce had booked. Chen Xin parked by the roadside and had no intention of parking in the parking lot. Li Xiwu turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Arent you going to eat with me? Pei Jingzhou shook his head. Li Xiwu pursed her lips. You asked Doctor Jiang to contact me. After we met, I was the one who talked to him alone. On the way here just now, you only listened to me and didnt ask me anything. Pei Jingzhou pulled her closer.. So what are you trying to say? Chapter 447 - Chapter 447: Awaken Memory Chapter 447: Awaken Memory Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu looked up at him and asked tentatively, Although you didnt say anything and silently arranged everything for me, 1 never asked you how you felt. Are you still angry? Pei Jingzhou laughed. l didnt show my face and didnt ask. Does that mean Im angry in your eyes? Li Xiwu nodded. Mm. Then it seems that I should personally bring you to see Jiang Ce and not leave out all the content of your conversation. Does that mean that Im not angry anymore? he asked her with a hint of amusement in his tone. Li Xiwu bit her lower lip and remained silent. Pei Jingzhou pulled her into his arms. Im not angry. Li Xiwu was stunned. Huh? Pei Jingzhou said gently, Jiang Ce is a psychiatrist. Its very good to talk to you. If Im by your side, it will affect you, so I didnt show my face. I didnt ask you because I wanted to hear you talk about it. I was very happy to see the changes after your conversation with Jiang Ce. Li Xiwu felt a lump in her throat. She raised her hand and knocked Pei Jingzhous arm. Why didnt you say so earlier? Pei Jingzhou lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Go. Ill pick you up when its over. Li Xiwu looked up. Then Ill go in first? Mm. Pei Jingzhou looked at her. Just as Li Xiwu was about to retreat from his arms, she realized that she could not move. Pei Jingzhous arm did not let go. She suddenly smiled brightly and raised her head to kiss Pei Jingzhous lips. Only then was Pei Jingzhou satisfied. He let go of her slightly and Li Xiwu left his arms. She turned around and got out of the car. Chen Xin had already gotten out of the car and was waiting outside. Seeing Li Xiwu get out of the car, he watched her enter the restaurant before closing the car door and getting in. After getting into the drivers seat, Chen Xin asked, Mr. Pei, where to next? Pei Jingzhou said, Wait opposite. Chen Xin was stunned. Wait Opposite? Pei Jingzhou said, There are many restaurants nearby. Pick a place to eat. Chen Xin wanted to persuade Mr. Pei to go eat with him, but he swallowed his words and drove to the opposite side of the road to park. Li Xiwu had just entered the restaurant when she saw Jiang Ce waiting for her. This restaurant was very close to the cafe just now. They were all back-to-back with the central business district, and the dining environment was very quiet. Seeing that Li Xiwu was the only one coming in, Jiang Ce stood up and pulled out a seat for her. After Li Xiwu sat down, he asked, Is Mr. Pei not here? Li Xiwu said, No, he has something else. Jiang Ce nodded, then handed the order to Li Xiwu. l ordered three dishes. Mrs. Pei, you can order the rest. Li Xiwu didnt stand on ceremony. She took the order and flipped through it seriously. Realizing that there were three prawn noodles in this cafeteria, Li Xiwu ordered one. The attendant was about to write it down when Li Xiwu stood up and pulled the attendant to the side. She whispered a few words before borrowing the paper in the attendants hand to write down the license plate number. Then, she took out three pieces of cash from her bag and handed them to the attendant. Thank you for your hard work. The attendant took the cash and quickly shook his head. No, no. Ill deliver the Three Shrimp Noodles according to your arrangements. Li Xiwu smiled faintly, then turned around and sat down. Jiang Ce did not know what Li Xiwu had just talked to the attendant about. He only asked, Mrs. Pei, have you ordered? Li Xiwu nodded. Yes, Ive ordered. Ten minutes later, outside the Bentley on the other side of the road, a person dressed as a restaurant attendant was walking around sneakily. Pei Jingzhou looked up but did not lower the window. Until the man plucked up the courage to knock on the window. The car window slowly rolled down. Pei Jingzhou looked at the sneaky person outside the car. Whats the matter? The man asked, Are you the car owner of Jingzhou? Perhaps because Pei Jingzhous aura was too cold, that person did not dare to look straight at him. When he asked this, his voice was very soft, like a mosquito. Pei Jingzhou did not answer. He was about to roll up the window. The person outside the car mustered his courage. A lady named Miss Li asked me to come over Before he could finish, the car window rolled down again. Pei Jingzhou looked up at that person. Miss Li? Yes, yes. Seeing that the words Miss Li were useful, the person hurriedly picked up the cardboard box in his hand. Miss Li asked me to send this bowl of Three Shrimp Noodles to the owner of the car with the license plate number Jing.oooo. She said that this car is parked diagonally opposite the restaurant. Pei Jingzhou: The man was all ready to hand it in through the car window. At this moment, the car door opened and Pei Jingzhou reached out his hand. Give it to me. The person quickly handed the Three Shrimp Noodles wrapped in a paper box to Pei Jingzhou. Miss Li has already paid. Take your time. With that, he slipped away. Pei Jingzhou closed the car door and looked at the Three Shrimp Noodles in his hand. The outer packaging of the restaurant was very exquisite. The box containing the noodles was made of antibacterial and heat-resistant materials. The chopsticks and soup spoon were also standard in the restaurant. His lips curved unconsciously as he remembered that she was the one who had ordered the Three Shrimp Noodles the previous time. In the restaurant, as Li Xiwu ate, she thought that Pei Jingzhou should be eating too, right? This man was always like this. She had just been careful and secretly observed. Pei Jingzhous car did not drive away. It was only parked opposite. He really thought that she could not see it. She stood for a while longer, wanting to see if Pei Jingzhou would get out of the car. In the end, she only saw Chen Xin get out of the car and leave, She knew Pei Jingzhou very well. She knew that he wouldnt order takeout himself, and it was impossible for him to get Chen Xin to bring him food. There were restaurants nearby. If he wanted to eat, he could just go to one. The only explanation was that Pei Jingzhou had no intention of eating lunch. How worrisome. Seeing that Li Xiwu was distracted, Jiang Ce did not disturb her until she came back to her senses and took the initiative to ask, Doctor Jiang, am I going to your clinic in the afternoon? Jiang Ce put down his cutlery and picked up the warm water beside him to take a sip. He said seriously, If Mrs. Pei has such plans today. Li Xiwu was almost done eating when she put down her cutlery. Ive already thought about it. Today. Jiang Ce nodded. Okay, Ill take you to the clinic later. Later on, Li Xiwu realized that Jiang Ce l s psychologic clinic was not far away. It seemed to be a triangle around the cafe and restaurant. Perhaps because of this location, there was no hustle and bustle in the city center here. After arriving at Jiang Ces psychological clinic, Li Xiwu got out of the car and followed Jiang Ce in. She walked slowly and looked back. She did not see Pei Jingzhous car. She knew that he would come. Perhaps he was in a hidden corner outside. He was always like this, silently guarding behind her no matter what. Jiang Ce led her into a well-lit room. There were no electronic devices, only a recliner and a table with unlit incense. Jiang Ce gestured to her. Mrs. Pei, just lie down. Dont be nervous. How could she not be nervous? Not only was she nervous, but she was also apprehensive. She lay down on the recliner as Jiang Ce had instructed. Jiang Ce turned around and stood in front of the table, fiddling with the incense. Theres no need for a treatment for hypnotic memories. Youll slowly fall asleep next. Ill wake up all your memories during this period. When you wake up, youll need a long time to accept these memories. Are you ready? Im ready. Li Xiwu thought that she was alone now. She did not know that in just two days, Pei Jingzhou had made a lot of preparations for her without her knowing anything. At this moment, there was a wall between them. Pei Jingzhou was outside. Other than him, there were also her children, her grandmother, and her aunt, as well as Qiao Qiao, who had rushed back from Xingzhou.. Chapter 448 - Chapter 448: Girl, Li You (1) Chapter 448: Girl, Li You (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She dreamed back to ten years ago. The sky was gloomy, and the thunder came one after another. The weather in midsummer was always so unpredictable. After the heat wave passed, it wasnt long before a storm poured down like the Milky Way. The school building was brightly lit. At 10:00 pm, students came out of their evening self-study. Li You held an umbrella and stood downstairs looking for a long time, but she did not see Pei Jingzhou come out. She was a little anxious. When she saw Pei Jingzhous classmate, she immediately stopped him and asked, Is Pei Jingzhou out? That classmate knew Li You, mainly because she had appeared beside Pei Jingzhou too many times. Gradually, she became familiar. lhe classmate told Li You, Pei Jingzhou didnt come to the evening self-study tonight. He took leave. Li Yous face fell. He took leave? The classmate nodded. Yeah. Seeing Li Yous disappointed expression, he asked, Youre always by his side. Dont you know hes taking leave this afternoon? Li You was about to shake her head. Seeing the curious look on the students face, she said in a low voice, l know, but I forgot. Thank you. Youre welcome. Her classmates voice came from behind. Li You held her umbrella and grabbed her bag as she ran towards the school gate. She ran so fast that water splattered her ankles, dirtying her socks and the horrible sides of her shoes. But she didnt care. No matter how bad it was, it was not as bad as her current mood. Li Huaishengs car had been parked by the roadside for a long time. When he finally saw his daughter come out, he immediately turned on the double flash. Li You walked quickly to her fathers car angrily. After getting into the car, Li Huaisheng could tell at a glance that his daughter was in a bad mood. He asked, Are there too many papers today? Li You said nothing. Li Huaisheng suddenly realized. Why did you come out alone today? Li You looked up. Im afraid half a person will scare you. Li Huaisheng: The car drove slowly down the avenue. The rain was still heavy, washing over the car. The windshield wipers in front of it were almost smoking. When she returned to Qiang Yue Gardens Li Mansion, Li You saw that her mother was still sitting on the sofa waiting for her. She immediately stopped in her tracks. MO Zhu got up and came over. He carefully checked if his daughter was wet. After confirming that she was dry, he was relieved. Come, have a bowl of ginger soup. Li You: She wasnt wet, right? Li Huaisheng walked over from behind. Your mother has been cooking ginger soup since I went out to pick you up. She was afraid that you would be drenched in the rain. Its considered my duty not to let you be drenched. Its good to drink a bowl to ward off the cold. Li You replied gloomily, Oh. The ginger soup rushed to her nose. Li You had never liked this taste. After drinking it, the taste spread in her throat for a long time. However, it had been raining today. The ginger soup could ward off the cold and prevent colds. In short, it was good stuff. She finished her ginger soup and hurried upstairs with her bag. MO Zhu could tell that his daughter was in a bad mood. She turned around and saw Li Huaisheng looking at her with a smile. MO Zhu couldnt help but laugh. What are you laughing at? Li Huaisheng walked over and said, Im happy. What are you so happy about? Some kid ignores my daughter. Isnt that a good thing? Nio Zhu stuffed the bowl into Li Huaishengs hand and turned to walk in. Youre smiling too early. Li Huaisheng caught the bowl and followed MO Zhu. l dont think so. Little You cares about her pride the most. After being ignored like this, she definitely wont interact with him in the future. This way, Little You can focus on her studies. l told you that you were laughing too early, but you didnt believe me. Just wait and see. MO Zhus heart was clear. After all, she had been through it before. How could she not understand? Li Huaisheng: Impossible, right? That Pei kid was very arrogant, and his Little You had an extremely strong self-esteem. If no one gave in, they would definitely break up. Besides, this adolescent relationship was a momentary liking. It was far inferior to the unforgettable relationship between adults. Ever since that night, Li You stayed in the classroom after class and did not go anywhere. In order to avoid meeting Pei Jingzhou, she found an excuse to ask the teacher for leave and did not attend evening self-study for a week. However, she had taken the stacks of papers home to do them. She had not forgotten her homework at all. Finally, on this Sunday, Li You went to the 18th birthday party that her aunt had chosen for her youngest cousin. Her younger cousins name was Qin Chu, and she was Qin Zhuonings biological sister. She was two years older than Li You and was in the same class as Pei Jingzhou. She was about to graduate this summer. Qin Chu was very popular in class and invited many classmates to this birthday banquet. As her younger brother, Qin Zhuoning also invited a few friends to his sisters birthday banquet. Among these friends was Pei Jingzhou. At first, Li You did not know that Pei Jingzhou was here. She stayed in Qin Chus room and watched Qin Chu try on a gown in boredom. Every time Qin Chu tried on a piece, she would ask Li You, How about this one? A gown at this age could not be too revealing. It had to combine fashion and just the right amount of elegance, so the gown was almost all a small gauze dress. It was very fairy-like. Li You admired it seriously and said, It suits your complexion. After a few minutes What about this one? Qin Chu quickly changed out again and spun around in front of Li You, showing off the dress she was wearing. Li You rested her chin on her hand and replied seriously, This color suits you too. Its very refreshing. After a few more minutes And this one. How does it compare to the other two? Li You put her chin in her other hand. They all look good. Qin Chu smiled. knew youd say that. Li You smiled too. When Qin Chu went to change into the next gown, she stared out the window in a daze. What was going on? She threw a tantrum and did not look for Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou acted as if she did not exist and did not take the initiative to look for her. Thinking of this, Li You raised her hand and counted on her fingers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 We havent seen each other for 16 days. She and Pei Jingzhou had not seen each other for sixteen days. Was she so unimportant? The more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt. Li You sighed dejectedly. Sigh Qin Chu, who had just changed into a gown, happened to hear Li You sigh. She walked over and asked with a smile, Why are you sighing? Li You immediately composed herself and turned to look at Qin Chu. As soon as she looked over, her gaze was fixed on Qin Chu. The light blue dress was layered with light muslin that covered the layers of the skirt. The cuffs were lantern-shaped muslin, and there was a thin layer of sequins around the waist. Li You murmured, This one is so beautiful. Qin Chu spun around in front of Li You. Really? Li You nodded. This one looks better than the previous ones, and it suits you better. Then Ill wear this. Hell probably like it when he sees it. When Qin Chu said this, his face was filled with anticipation. Adolescent girls had many dreamy imaginations and unrealistic expectations, but at this moment, they yearned from the bottom of their hearts and their eyes were filled with anticipation. Li You envied Qin Chu. With her lukewarm relationship with Pei Jingzhou, she wondered if she would still yearn and look forward to it on the day she reached adulthood.. Chapter 449 - Chapter 449: Girl, Li You (2) Chapter 449: Girl, Li You (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The Qin familys villa was very big. At this moment, many guests were gathered in the huge living room to attend Qin Chus 18th birthday party. There were also classmates who had prepared gifts and were looking forward to Qin Chus appearance. Li You followed Qin Chu out of the room and walked through the corridor to stand in front of the fence above the living room on the second floor. From above, Li You could see everything. To her surprise, she saw Pei Jingzhou among the guests. He Li You pointed at Pei Jingzhou in the crowd. Qin Chu also looked in that direction. Hes here. Li You was stunned. She glanced sideways at Qin Chu and followed his gaze down again. Wasnt that Pei Jingzhou? Li You was filled with disbelief, but she still gathered her courage and asked, Is he the person youre looking forward to seeing? Qin Chu nodded and turned to Li You. I like him very much. I plan to confess to him tonight. Hearing Qin Chus words, Li You remained silent for a long time. Qin Chu sensed that Li You was in a bad mood and asked, Do you think I wont succeed? Li You came back to her senses and shook her head. No. After a pause, she said, Youre sure to make it. Qin Chu smiled gently. Thank you for your approval. I also hope that tonights confession will succeed. If it succeeds, this will be the best gift for my coming-of-age ceremony. Eighteen, coming-of-age ceremony. If Cousins confession succeeded, this was indeed the best adult gift. Li You forced a smile. Although she felt a little against her conscience, she still said, Hes very good. Cousin, youre also very outstanding. When youre together, youre a strong team. Youre very compatible. Im so happy now. Qin Chu turned to Li You and said, You know, I was very nervous at first. I was afraid that the confession would fail and he wouldnt like me. Now that I have your encouragement, I suddenly feel much more confident. Li You: She regretted saying these untrue words. However, she couldnt tell Qin Chu that she liked Pei Jingzhou too, right? So what if she told her? She wasnt an adult yet, and she wasnt in a relationship with Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou was single, so anyone could woo him. He was at the age where he could have a first love. How could he wait two years for her to come of age? Besides, Qin Chu was about the same age as him. In terms of family background, she was suitable. If Qin Chu really succeeded in confessing to Pei Jingzhou, she would definitely wish him well. Thinking about this, the smile on her lips became even more forced Lets go down together. At this moment, Qin Chu reached out to Li You, planning to hold her hand. Li You shook her head. Im afraid of society. If I walk beside you, a lot of people will look at me later. Im sorry. You can go dovvn first. Everyone is waiting for you. Qin Chu laughed at her. Youre sociophobic? Youre one of us. Yanyan admires you. At the mention of MO Yan, Qin Chu realized that she hadnt seen her tonight. She looked downstairs and glanced around. Seeing MO Yan beside her grandmother, she said to Li You, Yanyan is at Grandmas side. Ill go down first. When you come down later, you can go to Grandmas side first. Li You nodded. Okay, I understand. After Qin Chu went downstairs, Li You stood by the fence and looked down. Amidst the guests laughter and blessings, Qin Chu walked to her aunt and uncle. The students gave their blessings, and the elders praised Qin Chu in all sorts of ways. In the crowd, Qin Chu sparkled like a night pearl. No one could ignore her. She looked for a long time and suddenly felt as if a gaze was looking at her, following her sixth sense to find the direction of the gaze. The next second, she met Pei Jingzhous eyes. In the crowd, the young man, Pei Jingzhou, was wearing a white shirt and black pants. He exuded the usual coldness and distance from head to toe. Qin Zhuoning was standing beside him, and there was a boy on the other side. From this angle, she couldnt see that persons appearance clearly, but she was sure that he was a very handsome man. After looking at each other for a moment, Li You gradually realized that when everyones gaze was focused on tonights birthday girl, Qin Chu, only Pei Jingzhou looked up at her. She suddenly turned and walked away. Pei Jingzhou looked away after Li You left the fence. Qin Zhuoning took two glasses of champagne from the long table beside him and handed one to Pei Jingzhou. Come, lets celebrate my sisters birthday. Have a drink. Pei Jingzhou did not take it. No. Qin Zhuoning said, Its not like youre underage. Pei Jingzhou replied confidently, She doesnt like me to drink. Qin Zhuonings lips twitched. Alright. Then, Qin Zhuoning handed the champagne to Shen Yihe, who was beside Pei Jingzhou. Come, lets drink. Shen Yihe took the champagne Qin Zhuoning handed him and the two of them clinked it. Qin Zhuoning was very happy today and spoke without restraint. He teased Pei Jingzhou, I really didnt expect you to have the potential to be a henpecked husband at such a young age. What will happen to you in the future? I cant even call you out to drink. Pei Jingzhou glanced at Qin Zhuoning. Henpecked? Qin Zhuoning grinned. Dont tell me you havent even heard of this term. Ive heard of it, Pei Jingzhou replied calmly. My father is. Qin Zhuoning: No wonder This birthday banquet was very lively. The happiest person was the birthday girl, Qin Chu. Mr. Qin and Qin Zhuoning would drink all the toasts, so MO Yujin held her daughters hand at all times and brought her to meet the guests who came to her birthday banquet. After the banquet began, Li You was nowhere to be seen. Li You thought that no one would notice that she was not around, but her grandmother asked, Wheres my darling? This time, everyone was looking for Li You. Li You, who was hiding on the villa terrace, did not know that everyone was looking for her. She was bent over, elbows on both hands on the patio fence, looking up for the Big Dipper in the sky. Someone was gradually approaching behind her. She didnt notice until the voice came Isnt your neck tired? This sudden voice shocked Li You. She reacted greatly and looked at the person standing beside her in shock. When she saw that it was Pei Jingzhou, the fear on her face was replaced by the atmosphere. She said angrily, What are you, an important role tonight, doing here? Pei Jingzhou was puzzled. An important role tonight? Li Yous muffled voice said, Isnt that so? Pei Jingzhou reached out and touched Li Yous cheek naturally. As usual, the two of them did not feel uncomfortable at all. Li You did not dodge. Seeing Pei Jingzhou touch her face, she asked, Is there something on my face? The next second, Pei Jingzhou suddenly leaned over. Li You didnt move. What do you smell? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and slowly stood up. Youre not drunk. Li You: Pei Jingzhou said, The birthday girl tonight is your cousin. What has it got to do with me? Li You asked, Cant you feel it? Pei Jingzhou asked her, Feel what? Forget it. Li You did not want to say anything else and turned to leave. She took a few steps and heard Pei Jingzhou call her from behind, Li You. Li You did not stop. She did not intend to pay attention to him anymore. However, she could not leave. Pei Jingzhou stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. He questioned her coldly, Why have you been avoiding me these past few days? Avoiding you Okay, she was avoiding him, she admitted. Whats wrong with me avoiding you? I dont want to see you, okay? Pei Jingzhou asked calmly, Why are you hiding? Li You was furious. Why dont you know? Its all because you didnt tell me that you were home that afternoon. I was waiting in the rain for you to finish your evening self-study, but you werent there. Your classmate said that you went home early. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. In the rain? Li You became even angrier. Cant you get to the point! Although I have an umbrella, its still raining, okay? Do you want to know why I didnt tell you in advance? Pei Jingzhou asked her. Li You blinked. From his tone, it sounded reasonable. Pei Jingzhou snorted coldly, angry and depressed. That day, I saw thirteen love letters from different people in your bag. Do you know what it means to accept love letters? Li Yous confidence suddenly choked at this moment. She avoided eye contact.. Uh, listen to my explanation Chapter 450 - Chapter 450: Girl, Li You (3) Chapter 450: Girl, Li You (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand and leaned back on his elbow, looking sideways at Li You. Li You was guilty and did not dare to look at him at all. Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. Alright, Ill listen to you slowly quibble. Youd better quibble clearly. The terrace on the Qin familys villa was very spacious. The light shone on Pei Jingzhou. From this angle, he seemed to be covered in a layer of soft light, like a god descending to the mortal world. It was not that Li You did not know that Pei Jingzhou was good-looking, but to admire his beauty alone in this deserted place made her feel like she had made a fortune. She smiled ingratiatingly. Actually, those thirteen letters Pei Jingzhou interrupted and corrected her. Theyre love letters. I still recognize the words. Dont try to fool me. Li You was about to lose her smile. Looking at Pei Jingzhous serious expression, she stammered, l did accept those thirteen love letters, but I havent read any of them. I didnt intend to read them. You found out because I didnt have time to throw them away. With that, she stole a glance at Pei Jingzhou. He was looking at her, his eyes smiling. Suddenly, the broken line in Li Yous mind connected. She reacted and said in a self-righteous tone, Why should I explain to you about the thirteen love letters? You cant question me, okay? I shouldnt have said anything. Pei Jingzhou waited for a long time to explain, but when he heard her unreasonable, righteous reason and fierce rebuttal, he laughed angrily and took a step forward, closing in on her. Seeing him suddenly come over, Li You slowly retreated. Just talk. Why are you so close to me! Li You! Pei Jingzhou called her name in a low voice. Li You looked at Pei Jingzhous angry face in horror and heard him say, Dont you know why Im questioning you? Li You stuttered. l, 1, l, how would I know! Pei Jingzhou asked again, You really dont know? No, no, I dont. She was so nervous she couldnt speak. Pei Jingzhou seemed to want to say something else. It was obvious that he was in a dilemma. Li You saw his lips move a few times, but in the end, he did not say anything and only sighed. She blamed herself a little at the sound of his sigh. Actually, she could have explained more clearly, but she had to find all kinds of reasons. Wasnt she trying to anger him? But who knew? In her heart, she desperately wanted to see him stomping his feet in anger from her. If Pei Jingzhou knew what she thought, he would probably ignore her in the future. Never mind. After sighing, Pei Jingzhou said, Forget it. Then, he turned around and left. Seeing that he was about to leave, Li You caught up. l wont accept it next time. Pei Jingzhou did not stop in the next moment, so Li You almost could not catch up to him. He returned to his usual cold and distant self and said coldly, It has nothing to do with me. Thats your business. I dont want to know. After all, it has nothing to do with me. Li You: Although he was not so angry that he was stomping his feet, this angry method made Li You very helpless. She seemed to realize that whatever she said was useless. Seeing that she could no longer keep up with him, she simply stopped and stood where she was. Im sorry, she said to his departing back. However, Pei Jingzhou acted as if he did not hear her and continued walking quickly. This was useless, too? Ouch Li You suddenly cried out in pain. Then, she squatted on the ground and covered her ankle. She looked like she was in pain. When she saw Pei Jingzhou, who had already walked far away paused for a moment, she quickly lowered her head and covered her ankle, pretending to be in pain as she counted in her heart. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven She had just silently counted to seven when a pair of white shoes appeared in front of her. She didnt need to look up to know that they were Pei Jingzhous shoes. He turned back in the end. Pei Jingzhou squatted down and looked at her pitiful appearance. He knew that she was doing it on purpose, but his heart still softened. It was because he could not bear to see her cry out in pain. His voice was slightly lower. Did you sprain your ankle? Li You looked up at him and pouted pitifully. l sprained it. Pei Jingzhou was expressionless. Can you walk? Li You looked at her ankle and then at Pei Jingzhou. She looked troubled. I think I can walk. You dont have to worry about me. I just twisted my ankle. Ill be fine here. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you sure? Li You: He suppressed a smile, trying not to laugh, then reached out to her. Come. Li You slowly raised her arms. Pei Jingzhou helped her up and carried her in a princess carry. It was easy. Every time he carried her, it was easy. Li You wrapped her arms around Pei Jingzhous neck. l thought you wouldnt care about me. Pei Jingzhou said, l originally had this plan, but Im a gentleman after all. Even if someone sprains their ankle, Ill help them warmly. Warm? Him? If there was an annual joke, this would definitely be the joke of the year. She couldnt control her expression and laughed as she thought about it. Pei Jingzhou stopped and looked at her sideways. What are you laughing at? Li You groaned. Im happy. Pei Jingzhou asked, Are you happy because you sprained your ankle? Li You shook her head. No, I just thought of a joke. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. What joke? Li You said, Pei Jingzhou is a warm-hearted person. Pei Jingzhou: When she returned to the room, it was finally cooler. She could admire the moon and count the stars in the balcony, but it was a little stuffy and hot. It was uncomfortable to stay too long, and there were mosquitoes. Li Yous arm had already been bitten twice, and unknowingly, a small patch had turned red. Pei Jingzhou placed her on the sofa and turned to look for the first aid kit. Li You quickly said, Theres no need for medicine. Its just a slight sprain. Ill be fine after sitting down and resting for a while. Pei Jingzhou did not say anything. Although he was not familiar with the Qins villa, there was usually a small medicine box in the drawer under the coffee table. Pei Jingzhou opened the drawer and found the medicine box. After taking a closer look, he took some ointment and walked towards Li You. Li You knew very well that her foot was not twisted at all. How could she explain it when she was seen through? She racked her brains. Pei Jingzhou had already opened the medicine box in his hand and squeezed a bean-sized ointment on his finger. Then, he slowly leaned over. Li You quickly confessed, Actually, I didnt sprain my ankle. Pei Jingzhou paused. I know. Li You suddenly looked up at him. Pei Jingzhou smiled and smeared the ointment on Li Yous arm where the mosquito had bitten her. This is pine cream. So it was pine cream. After being bitten by a mosquito, the spots would dissipate quickly after this was applied. She was so nervous that she did not look at the medicine box carefully. Previously, Pei Jingzhou had also used this pine cream to wipe the red spots of mosquito bites on her. Moreover, he had done it several times. One time when they went out, he did not bring anything with him except this pine cream. She had no choice. She was a mosquito-type. Pei Jingzhou applied them seriously. He applied the two red spots on Li Liyous shoulders that had been bitten by mosquitoes.. Chapter 451 - Chapter 451: Girl, Li You (4) Chapter 451: Girl, Li You (4) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Pei Jingzhou finished applying the ointment for her, he checked her other arm for any traces of mosquito bites. After confirming that there was nothing, he put away the ointment. Li You whispered, Arent you angry? Pei Jingzhou put the medicine box away. Im angry. Li You raised two fingers. l lied to you twice. Pei Jingzhou turned to look at her and said calmly, So what if its twice or 10 times? Li You: Pei Jingzhou straightened up and walked towards her. Even if you lied to me your entire life, Ill admit it, so what if you do it twice or ten times? It was undeniable that at this moment, she abandoned pure like, in its place was the seed of love sprouting wildly and growing wantonly. She took the opportunity to ask the question she had been wanting to ask. Pei Jingzhou, youre so good to me. Do you treat me as your sister, or what? A sister? Pei Jingzhous tone was cold. Li You asked, Why are you angry again? Perhaps the way Li You asked this was wrong, causing Pei Jingzhou to be even angrier. His tone was also very unfriendly. l have a sister. Its not your place to be my sister. Hearing his fierce tone, Li You felt a chill run down her spine. Why are you so fierce? If you dont want a sister, then dont want a sister. Its as if I dont even have other chances Pei Jingzhou suddenly looked at her steadily. This gaze was too hot for Li You to ignore. Pei Jingzhou asked her, What do you want to do with me? That was a blunt question. Li You was too embarrassed to answer, but she still mustered her courage. She stood up and leaned in front of him. She raised her face and said to him firmly, Can you wait for me? Pei Jingzhous cold expression finally warmed. He asked despite knowing the answer, Waiting for you for what? Li You pushed his arm coquettishly, but it did not move. She lowered her voice and said, You understand. Pei Jingzhou insisted on teasing her. l dont understand. Youd better make it clear. How can I say that! She stamped her foot in exasperation. Why not? he asked with a half smile. Im just embarrassed. Forget it. You can wait as long as you want. She turned around angrily and pretended to leave. Pei Jingzhou grabbed her arm and pulled her back easily. He said to her, Wait. Li You looked up at him. It was rare for her to see a very serious expression on Pei Jingzhous face at this moment. He had also said the word wait to her with this very serious expression. She instantly burst with joy. The smile on her face was bright, but as she smiled, she suddenly thought of something and stopped smiling. Soon, the smile on her face turned serious. She said to Pei Jingzhou, But will you agree to Qin Chus confession later? Qin Chu was outstanding and had graduated with Pei Jingzhou this year. Compared to her and Pei Jingzhou, Qin Chu and Pei Jingzhou were the most suitable. Did what she said just now count as interception? Pei Jingzhou was at a loss. When is Qin Chu going to confess to me? Seeing that he was in the dark, Li You understood. After all, Qin Chu had just confessed tonight. Previously, it had been a crush. With Pei Jingzhous personality, he ignored everyone. It was normal that he couldnt tell that Qin Chu had a crush on him. As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a pain in her head. When she realized what was going on, Pei Jingzhou had knocked her on the head. Li You rubbed her forehead and groaned. It hurts, okay? You still know that it hurts? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Its good that it hurts. It wakes you up. Li You was puzzled. Wake me up? Why me? Go down. Your grandmother is looking for you. With that, Pei Jingzhou put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave. From the angle with her back facing him, Li You could not see how much Pei Jingzhous lips were curved. When Pei Jingzhou arrived downstairs, Li You followed him down. Now, everyone knew that Pei Jingzhou had gone to find Matriarch Mos little darling. Guan Suling waved at Li You from afar. Darling, come here, Li You walked over and sat down beside her grandmother. Guan Suling picked up some food for Li You, afraid that she would starve because she was late. She asked, Where did you go? Li You looked at the dishes on the plate in front of her and felt her appetite increase. She picked up her chopsticks and ate as she replied to her grandmother, l was watching television upstairs. I was so engrossed that I forgot to come down for dinner. Guan Suling smiled dotingly. Take your time watching the tv when you get home. When youre outside, its more important to fill your stomach first. Li Yous cheeks puffed up. Grandma is right. Not long after the meal, plates of dessert and fruit were served. Qin Chu played the piano very well, and today was a rare opportunity. Therefore, at the suggestion of his classmates, Qin Chu played For Elise for everyone. Under everyones applause, Qin Chu walked to the piano. Li You was also clapping. She saw Qin Chu sitting down at the piano and turned to look in Pei Jingzhous direction. A hint of shyness appeared on her face, probably because she had seen her crush. The melody of For Elise was very clear. After a series of rapid notes, the tune gradually became serious and solemn, as if it was in deep thought. Right on the heels of that, it expressed passionate emotions and ended in a beautiful and gentle atmosphere. This song itself was an expression of emotion. It was very suitable for a confession. When everyone played different tunes, their emotions were different. Li You was extremely talented at playing the piano. Some tunes were different from the original. When Qin Chu played For Elise, not only did she confess, but she also expressed the past that the girl had hidden in her heart for a long time. After the song ended, everyone applauded Qin Chu. Under everyones gazes, Qin Chu walked in a certain direction in the crowd. When Li You saw Qin Chu standing in front of Pei Jingzhou, her heart skipped a beat. She didnt know what Qin Chu had said to Pei Jingzhou, but in the blink of an eye, Qin Chu left. She looked very happy. Qin Zhuoning, who was beside Pei Jingzhou, turned around and was about to leave when Pei Jingzhou stopped him. Shen Yihe knows his limits. What limits does he have? Hell only make my sister sad. Qin Zhuonings tone was not very good, but he also restrained his volume. No, I have to go out. Qin Zhuoning turned around and went out. Pei Jingzhou stood there without moving. When Li You saw this scene, she felt that it was different from what she had imagined. It did not seem to be the case. By the way, where was the handsome man beside Pei Jingzhou and Qin Zhuoning? Before Qin Chu played the piano, he seemed to be there. Why was he gone now? She walked towards Pei Jingzhou and asked him softly, Why arent you going out? Pei Jingzhou looked over. Why should I go out? Isnt Qin Chu going to Li You thought about it and still felt that something was wrong. She asked, What did Qin Chu just tell you? Pei Jingzhou said, She asked me where Shen Yihe went. Although she was not sure who Shen Yihe was, Li You felt that he should be the handsome man standing beside Pei Jingzhou and Qin Zhuoning. After analyzing Qin Zhuonings expression just now, Qin Chu must have known that Qin Zhuoning would not tell her, so she asked Pei Jingzhou. so Li You finally realized that the person Qin Chu wanted to confess to tonight was Shen Yihe! Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: Girl, Li You (5) Chapter 452: Girl, Li You (5) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You was curious and wanted to go out and take a look. In the end, Pei Jingzhou stopped her. Why are you joining in the fun? Im just going to take a look, she said, about to slip away. Pei Jingzhou pulled her back. Dont go. Just stay here. Why? she asked, not understanding. Pei Jingzhou stared at her and smiled helplessly. What Qin Chu wants to say isnt for you to hear, so why are you going? Li You: Although she did not deny that Pei Jingzhous words made sense, she knew very well that if Pei Jingzhou did not hold her back, she would definitely sneak out to eavesdrop. Alright, then she wont go. The atmosphere in the hall was very good. Li You saw her grandmother waving at her several times. She went over and her grandmother played cards. She was bored looking at the cards and could not stay at all. Soon, she returned to Pei Jingzhous side. She had eaten a lot of desserts beside Pei Jingzhou. Some of them could not be finished with a bite, so she placed them in Pei Jingzhous hand and let him take them. Pei Jingzhou stood behind Li You like a sidekick. In his open palm, there were already several desserts that Li You would not eat once she took a bite of them. He casually picked up one of the leftovers from Li You. Li You turned around and saw it. Thinking that he was going to throw it away, she quickly stopped him. Dont throw it away. I still want to eat. Im just too busy to get so much. With that, she took the dessert from Pei Jingzhou and ate it. Pei Jingzhou said, l dont intend to throw it. Li Yous cheeks puffed up as she asked in a muffled voice, If youre not going to throw it away, are you going to eat it? Pei Jingzhou did not answer. At this moment, Li You suddenly approached Pei Jingzhou without warning. It was probably too sudden. He was slightly stunned, but he did not retreat at all. He just looked at her. The next second, Li You fed Pei Jingzhou a pink macaroon. Try it. Pei Jingzhou opened his mouth and bit the macaron. Before he could chew, he heard the girl ask him eagerly, Is it good? Is it good? Pei Jingzhou said, Mm. Li You held his arm and swayed. If you want to say whether its good or not, you cant just say mm. Its very perfunctory, okay? Pei Jingzhou answered her seriously, Its delicious. At this moment, at the card table not far away, the mahjong friend opposite Guan Suling said, Your little cabbage is about to be stolen. These words were deliberately said for Guan Suling to hear. When Guan Suling was playing cards just now, she looked at Li You from time to time. How could she not have seen Li You feed Pei Jingzhou? Guan Suling gave out Seven Bamboos and smiled. As long as my darling likes it. The mahjong friend at the side drew the Seven Bamboos and took out another tile. She played a circle tile and reminded Guan Suling, Matriarch, that person is amazing. That person is the eldest son of the Pei family. Whats wrong with being the eldest son of the Pei family? Even if hes the presidents son, if my Darling likes him, Ill tie him up for her. Pfft When Guan Suling said this, although everyone was laughing, no one questioned it. With how much Guan Suling doted on her granddaughter, she might really mean what she said just now. The mahjong friend opposite her played a card and said, From the looks of it, your Little You and the eldest son of the Pei family are quite compatible. Its alright. Guan Suling threw out another Four Bamboos, then frowned. The tiles she didnt need kept coming. After playing the cards, Guan Suling said, The main thing is that my darling is still young and hasnt seen much forest. There are only a few trees around her. Fortunately, she picked the best tree at a glance. But when she grows up and sees more forest, she wont only like one tree. The three mahjong buddies laughed out loud. As expected of a demon who doted on his granddaughter. These words could only come from Guan Suling. Guan Sulings last sentence was a little louder, and Pei Jingzhou heard it clearly. Li You was still choosing desserts at the long table when she suddenly heard Pei Jingzhou call her from behind. She picked up a Nanemo strip and turned around. After looking at each other for a long time, Pei Jingzhou did not say a word. Li You thought that he had taken a fancy to the nanemo strip in her hand, so she raised her hand and handed it to him. This is for you. Pei Jingzhou shook his head. Li You understood and retracted her hand. If you dont want to eat, why did you call me? After a moment of silence, Pei Jingzhou suddenly asked her, In the future, when you graduate and go to a university outside the capital or study abroad, when you meet many more outstanding people, will you stop for them? That last part was asked rather tactfully. Because at her age, Pei Jingzhou couldnt ask directly: Will you like someone else in the future? So he racked his brains and used extremely tactful words before asking in front of her. Li Yous EQwas not low, so she naturally understood what Pei Jingzhou wanted to express. She bit the piece of nanemo strip in her hand and said as she ate, l think so. The light in Pei Jingzhous eyes dimmed. Li You smirked. Arent you a little disappointed? Pei Jingzhou turned around and seemed to ignore her. In fact, he was quickly thinking about how to transmit her idea of staying faithful. It was human instinct to be half-hearted. It seemed hard to be single-minded. Maintaining a relationship based on like was far from enough. Solidity took time to accumulate. It seemed like a long time. Li You walked around to Pei Jingzhou and looked up at him. l will go to many places in the future and see a lot of the world. I will meet many interesting people. This cant be changed because my parents also said that this is growth. It is a very important component of life. Pei Jingzhou looked down at her. Mm. Li Yous smile was bright. My life is like this. Your life is like this, isnt it? Pei Jingzhou took a tissue from the side and pulled Li Yous hand over to wipe the chocolate stains on her fingers. As he wiped them, he replied, Yes, our lives are like this. Li You obediently waited for Pei Jingzhou to finish wiping before calling out to him, Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou folded the tissue and was about to throw it away when he passed by the trash can. Suddenly, he heard her call him solemnly, so he looked up at her. Huh? Li You smiled and said, I will go to many places in the future and see many mountains and rivers. However, the spring and autumn in your eyes surpass all the mountains and rivers I will see in the future. Pei Jingzhou was slightly stunned. His first reaction was, Where did you extract this sentence? Li You gestured with the tip of her nose and poked his arm. Why do you care where I took the extract? Just tell me if its nice. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Thank you. I was teased. Seriously, why did he say that he was being teased? Li You felt her ears turn red. She turned around and continued to take the desserts on the table.. Pei Jingzhous doting tone reminded her, Dont you think you ate too much tonight? Chapter 453 - Chapter 453: Girl, Li You (6) Chapter 453: Girl, Li You (6) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Did I? She thought carefully about how much she had just eaten. Its alright. I didnt eat too much or too little. Pei Jingzhou gestured for her to look back. Take a closer look at the table you ate all the way here. Li You glanced behind her and quickly looked away. She said perfunctorily, Its alright. Im not the only one eating, right? Pei Jingzhou replied, Yes, youre not the only one eating. I ate most of it. Li You smiled and tilted her head. Thats right. Just then, Qin Chu came in from outside. Li You didnt see her at first. It was only when Pei Jingzhou reminded her that she immediately turned around and saw Qin Chu. Li You threw aside all the desserts and hurried over. Cousin! Li You walked up to Qin Chu and asked curiously, How was it? Did you succeed? Qin Chu didnt have the happiness of a successful confession, nor did she have the sadness of a failed confession. Her expression was no different from usual. In fact, it was impossible to tell her emotions. Li You felt that something was wrong and immediately stopped smiling. She lowered her voice and asked, Did something happen? A forced smile appeared on Qin Chus expressionless face. Li You quickly said, Dont force yourself to smile. Its fine. Hearing Li Yous words, Qin Chu didnt make things difficult for herself. She took Li Yous hand. Come with me. Huh? Where to? Dont ask. Pei Jingzhou watched helplessly as Li You was pulled away by Qin Chu, but he did not chase after her. He had some understanding of Shen Yihes situation and plans before, but now, he had a rough idea. Upstairs. After Qin Chu pulled Li You into the bedroom and locked the door, Li You was shocked. Before she could react, Qin Chu hugged her. Li You held Qin Chus arm. Hey, Cousin Dont talk. Let me hug you for a while, Qin Chu said. Li You instantly quietened down. Cousins voice just now was very muffled. She seemed very sad. It seemed that the confession had really failed. However, Li You did not understand. Cousin was such an outstanding girl. Why would that person reject her? Boohoo Hearing Qin Chus cries, Li You was stunned. Wuvvuwuvvu The crying seemed louder than before. Li You came back to her senses and realized that Qin Chu was really crying. She quickly raised her hand and gently patted Qin Chus back. Cousin, dont cry. Its okay, its okay. Qin Chu sobbed. At tonights birthday party, her mother had put on makeup for her. At this moment, the makeup on her face was blurry with tears. She cried sadly. Why doesnt he like me? Why? He even said that my confession was too sudden. Hed never seen me before. This time, he was accidentally called to my birthday party by my brother. He said that he didnt know me at all. Boohoo Li You: Dont know? That shouldnt be possible. The prerequisite for liking him is that you must have interacted with him many times. How can he not know you? He must be lying to you, or he has something difficult to say, Li You analyzed calmly. What do you mean by difficult? Its not like were acting in a television drama. I dont believe you. Qin Chu was still crying so hard that she couldnt breathe. Li You quickly smoothed her back. Cousin Chu, dont cry. Your makeup is all smudged. Hearing that her makeup was smudged, Qin Chu completely let go of her emotions and cried. As she cried, she said, l dont know if hes pretending not to know me, but he was so cold just now. He rejected me decisively. Li You was angry when she heard that. Why is this person like this! Qin Chu sobbed. Yes, why is he like this? I dont think Ill like someone so easily again. Its just er, no. Not to that extent. The clothes dont fit. Thats the fault of the clothes. What does it have to do with you? Youll meet better, better boys in the future. Really, really. Take my word for it. Li You kept comforting Qin Chu. Perhaps it was because her comforting words had some effect, but Qin Chus crying became much softer and didnt sob as much as before. Qin Chu pulled out of Li Yous arms. Her eyes were red, and Li Yous heart ached. Qin Chu said to Li You, There are plenty of fish in the sea. Hes not the only tree in the forest. Ive decided. Li You was relieved. As long as you think it through. However, the next second, she heard Qin Chu say, Ive decided not to cut this hawthorn tree for the time being. Li You: Qin Chu looked at Li You with a firm gaze. Who gives up after being rejected once? At least three times. Otherwise, it will make my liking seem very insincere. I can chase after him again. Li You: Li You didnt need to comfort her anymore. Qin Chu had quickly composed herself. Although she wasnt as happy as before the birthday party, she was much better than when she cried out loud. Li You went downstairs and returned to Pei Jingzhou. Seeing her return, Pei Jingzhou asked, Are you done comforting her? Li Yous expression was gloomy. When she heard Pei Jingzhous question, she suddenly looked up at him. How did you know? Pei Jingzhou said, l guessed. Li You said, Then your guess is really accurate. Pei Jingzhou raised his chin. Of course. She walked up to Pei Jingzhou and asked him in a low voice, Did you know that handsome man would reject Chuchu? Pei Jingzhou shook his head. l dont know. Li You did not believe him. As if. Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. Actually, I know a little. Li Yous eyes lit up, and her face was almost on Pei Jingzhous. She kept asking, Tell me. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at the face in front of him. He moved back a little, keeping his distance and not crossing the line. Shen Yihe is an illegitimate child. At first, Li You did not understand why Pei Jingzhou said that Shen Yihe was an illegitimate child. But after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to understand something. Qin Chu was the eldest daughter of the Qin family. Shen Yihe was an illegitimate child. With such different identities, not only were they not compatible, but even if they were together, they would not receive blessings, especially since the status of illegitimate son on Shen Yihe would cause Qin Chu trouble. so Li You understood, but she guessed, Actually, Shen Yihe likes Cousin too, He just feels inferior because of his status. Pei Jingzhou smiled. l dont know about that. Im not as nosy as you. Li You said, Hmph. After Qin Chus birthday party ended, Li You was taken away by Guan Suling. However, when Guan Suling pulled Li You away, Li You gestured at Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou couldnt help but laugh. Got it. Ill wait for you tomorrow morning. Li You waved her hand. See you tomorrow Oh, Grandma, walk slower. Im going to fall. Guan Suling snorted dotingly. Look at how useless you are.. Chapter 454 - Chapter 454: Girl, Li You (7) Chapter 454: Girl, Li You (7) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Pei Jingzhou was in high school, he had always been a famous figure in school. Li You was in the same high school as Pei Jingzhou. She often heard all kinds of rumors about Pei Jingzhou. For example, just now, her deskmate, Xu Ying, ran in and sat down beside her. She told her in a very excited tone, The flower of the third year has been plucked! As she said this, every pore on Xu Yings face exerted strength. Li You was worried about the stack of papers in front of her. How long would she have to write? In the face of Xu Yings hysterical news, she really did not expect that the flower on the mountains was Pei Jingzhou! Therefore, she only replied calmly, Oh. Xu Ying suddenly leaned over and asked in a questioning tone, Just an oh? Li You turned around and looked at Xu Ying blankly. What else? Xu Ying still said the same exaggerated thing. Just an oh? Li You was even more confused. Then what should 1 express? Xu Ying slammed her hands on the table and worried like a mother. Your house has been stolen, and you only said an oh? Her house had been stolen? Li You stood up abruptly, and Xu Ying followed suit. Oh my god, you finally reacted. Li You was furious. What kind of security in Qiang Yue Garden is so bad? My house was stolen! Xu Ying was speechless. After all this time, she was singing a one-man show? Xu Ying couldnt hold it in anymore. She raised her hand and punched Li Yous shoulder. Your backyard is on fire. Do you understand now? Xu Yings punch was solid. Li You rubbed her shoulder that was hurting from Xu Yings punch, and her expression was a little twisted from the pain. What are you saying? My house was stolen, and my backyard was on fire. Our family encountered this unlucky thing, right? Xu Ying was speechless. This time, Xu Ying gave up. This dummy. It was hard to explain. Xu Ying turned around and left. Li You rubbed her face and realized something. Her grimacing expression instantly became serious. She suddenly turned to look at Xu Yings back and shouted, What did you say just now? Xu Ying did not turn around. I didnt say anything. Li You quickly chased after her and tried to please her. Did your first sentence say that the flower of the third year of high school has been plucked? Xu Ying turned to look at Li You. Are you a pig? Your reflex arc is so slow. Li You: Soon, Li You figured out the general reason from Xu Ying. It turned out that Xu Ying had learned from her third-year sister that the belle of her sisters class was planning to confess to Pei Jingzhou today! The reason why Xu Yings sister knew was that Xu Yings sister was friends with the sidekick. Xu Yings sister probably knew about Li Yous relationship with Pei Jingzhou, so she deliberately mentioned this matter in front of Xu Ying. Xu Ying did not disappoint her sister at all. She immediately rushed back and told Li You about this. When Li You heard this, she could not remain calm. She put down her paper and pen, turned around, and went straight to the basketball court. Five minutes later, Li You appeared on the basketball court. However, she was not alone. Xu Ying came with her. Xu Ying pointed in a direction on the basketball court. Look, she stole your house. Li You looked in the direction Xu Ying was pointing. There were three girls sitting on the bench. Li You noticed that the girl in the middle was holding a bottle of mineral water and looking towards the court. Xu Ying pushed Li Yous wrist. Your man is playing basketball for her! Li You naturally saw Pei Jingzhou on the court. The young man was wearing a loose white T-shirt and casual shorts. In order to reduce the impact on his ligaments in his wrist when he received the serve, he was wearing a wrist guard. It was unknown how long this game had been playing, but the hair on his forehead was already a little wet with sweat. His superior height and cold face made him look so eye-catching in the crowd of basketball players. Li You couldnt take her eyes off him. Seeing that Li You was not worried about her backyard burning, Xu Ying asked, What are you thinking? Li You couldnt take her eyes off the court. Im thinking how good my taste is. Xu Ying said, What? Li You said, My taste is really good. Look at so many boys on the court. The one 1 like is the most handsome! Hes indeed handsome! Theres no way to refute that, but my little fairy, someone else has taken a fancy to him, too. If you dont think of something, your backyard is about to burn down, Xu Ying said anxiously. Xu Ying was even more anxious than Li You. Li You turned around and asked, Has Pei Jingzhou accepted her confession? Xu Ying was stunned, then shook her head. Not yet. Li You said, Then Xu Ying said, What then? If you dont make a move quickly, youll cry. It was not that Li You was not anxious, but she had never worried about dealing with rivals. This was because it had always been Pei Jingzhou who quietly eliminated his rivals. Now that it was her turn, she did not know how to start. Xu Ying kept nagging in Li Yous ear. Pei Jingzhou is about to take the college entrance examination, and that girl is in the same batch as Pei Jingzhou. If the college entrance examination ends, the two of them will definitely be together. Although you wont see him for two years after he graduates, this long-distance relationship is completely different from being snatched away. Alright although youre not in a relationship, everyone knows that you and Pei Jingzhou are childhood sweethearts. Thats not right either. It seems that there are still many people who dont know. But! You often come to school with Pei Jingzhou and go home together at night. Some people have eyes! Say something, little fairy. You make it sound like my backyard is on fire. Im the only one whos anxious. Not only was Xu Ying impatient, but she had also always been worried about her like her mother. Li You said, Actually, Im very anxious too, but I cant just rush over and stand in front of her and shout like a lion, Youre not allowed to confess to Pei Jingzhou, right? I really cant do such a thing. That wasnt the only reason. The reason to go over didnt hold water, either. That girl was in the same batch as Pei Jingzhou and was also about to take the college entrance examination. They were very close to the right to fall in love freely, and she was still young. How could she dare to say that Pei Jingzhou was hers in front of those people? Did she still want to stay in this school? Xu Ying understood Li Yous distress, so she stopped urging her and asked, Then, lets wait and see? Li You bit her lip. Then lets wait and see, Just as she said this, Xu Ying bumped Li Yous arm and said anxiously, Look, its over. This match is over. Li You rubbed her arm. I saw it. 1 even saw that girl walking towards Pei Jingzhou.. Chapter 455 - Chapter 455: Girl, Li You (8) Chapter 455: Girl, Li You (8) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Li You finished speaking, she was pushed by Xu Ying. Do you want to go over and watch? Li You stood still as Xu Ying pushed her. Why do I have to go up and watch my backyard burn? Arent you going to see how she confesses to Pei Jingzhou? To be honest, shes quite beautiful. What if Pei Jingzhou agrees? Xu Ying was very worried. Li You pursed her lips. l dont think so. Xu Ying could not help but instill a sense of crisis in Li You. Not only is she quite beautiful, but her results are also in the top ten of the cohort. I heard that she filled in the same choice as Pei Jingzhou. When Li You heard that, she felt a lump in her throat. If you say so, I think the probability of Pei Jingzhou taking a fancy to her is a little high. Its not a little high, its a lot higher! Xu Ying said as she pushed Li You again. Hurry up and take a look. If you dont go over, therell only be dust in the backyard. Li You was a little afraid, mainly because she was afraid. As she firmly believed that Pei Jingzhou had promised her that he would wait for her that night, she thought about what Xu Ying had just reminded her. The girl who was preparing to confess to Pei Jingzhou was in the top ten of the cohort. She had good results and was beautiful. Most importantly, she was in the same cohort as Pei Jingzhou. Damn compatible! Xu Ying tried her best, but she could not push Li You forward. She felt like vomiting. She said angrily, Is there sticky superglue under your feet? Go over quickly. Shes talking to Pei Jingzhou!! No hurry, no hurry. Lets wait and see. Li You still did not dare to go forward. What are you looking at! Xu Ying was convinced. Alright, be a coward. Li You: It turned out that she was so obviously afraid. However, when she saw the girl hand the mineral water to Pei Jingzhou, Li Weis premonition became worse and worse. When Pei Jingzhou took the mineral water from the girl, the timid Li You immediately ignored everything and rushed over angrily. However, halfway through, Pei Jingzhou took the bottle of mineral water and tilted his body slightly. His eyes were as cold as ever. He opened his mouth and called someones name before throwing the mineral water at the person he called. Seeing this, Li You paused. Pei Jingzhou was very casual when he threw the mineral water. His expression was even a little cold. The girl who handed the mineral water to Pei Jingzhou looked even more embarrassed. Probably because her pride had been badly bruised, she looked like she was going to cry. The two friends who were close to the girl walked forward to support the girl. One of the girls said, Pei Jingzhou, you can choose not to drink it. Why are you giving it to someone else? Pei Jingzhous expression was calm, and his tone was as cold as ever. l never drink such cheap water. As soon as he said this, not only the girl, but the other two girls looked terrible. The girl was aggrieved. She couldnt help but say in a choked voice, What brand of water do you often drink? You can tell me. Ill definitely buy your usual water next time. Pei Jingzhou said impatiently, Theres no need to tell you. With that, Pei Jingzhou walked around the person in front of him and prepared to leave the stadium. The girl stubbornly stepped forward and blocked Pei Jingzhous path. My first choice is to enroll in Capital University. Pei Jingzhou said, So? The girl said, I know your first choice was also the Capital University. Pei Jingzhou did not deny it. Yes. Seeing that Pei Jingzhous expression was not as cold as before, the girl immediately gathered her courage again. Actually, my parents arranged for me to go overseas, but I still chose to stay at Capital University because I wanted to be closer to you. I wanted Pei Jingzhou did not give the other party a chance to finish speaking. Do you want to know why I chose Capital University? The girl was puzzled. Wh-why? Pei Jingzhou said, Because Capital University is the closest to No. 4 High School. The girl was stunned. Even this sentence was enough for the girl to understand what it meant. Ever since last year, she had realized that a girl often appeared beside Pei Jingzhou. She had heard that the girl e s family seemed to be relatives with Pei Jingzhous family. She often saw that girl appear beside Pei Jingzhou. They seemed to be on good terms. She did not think that Pei Jingzhou would like that girl. After all, they were two years apart. Perhaps in Pei Jingzhous eyes, that girl was like a sister. Until she heard Pei Jingzhou say that Capital University was the closest to No. 4 High School The girl smiled bitterly. Youre really childhood sweethearts. Pei Jingzhou was not in the mood to chat too much with unrelated people. He bypassed them and went straight out of the basketball court. Today was Friday, so he planned to go back to the dormitory to take a shower first. After school in the afternoon, he would bring Li You to eat the hotpot she had been craving for half a month. After Pei Jingzhou left, the girls eyes turned red. The friends around her comforted her one after another. Actually, you still have a chance. Childhood sweethearts are all pleasant to hear. In this day and age, childhood sweethearts cant withstand a fall from the sky. Thats right, thats right. Another girl comforted her. Pei Jingzhou still has to go to university. His university life is colorful, and hes more mature. How can he still think of the childhood sweetheart whos in her second year of high school? You still have a chance. The girl shook her head. l dont have a chance. Pei Jingzhou is the most rational and calm boy Ive ever met. With his illustrious family background, he should go overseas after graduating from high school. There are top universities waiting for him, but he chose to stay in the capital. 1 didnt quite understand why before, but now I finally understand why he chose Capital University Because he wants to be closer to the person he liked. On the other side, Pei Jingzhou had just come out of the basketball court when he saw someone sneaking away from the corner of his eye. He called out to her in a low voice Li You. Li You, who had not slipped far, suddenly stopped. Pei Jingzhou walked towards Li You. When did you come? Li You turned around and chuckled. l just came over. I wanted to watch you play, but I suddenly remembered that I still have four papers to do. I have to go back and do them now. She was about to slip away when Pei Jingzhou grabbed her wrist and easily pulled her back. Im about to take the college entrance examination. Shouldnt I be more enthusiastic than you? Im not even in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? Li You said, Theres no hurry. Pei Jingzhou looked at her empty hands. Wheres the water? Li You was stunned. What water? Pei Jingzhou chuckled. You came to watch me play basketball and not buy me water? When he was young, Pei Jingzhou had red lips and white teeth. When he smiled, he could mesmerize people. Li You could not stand Pei Jingzhous smile. He was extremely handsome. He had just finished playing basketball. The lines of his sweaty muscles were very clear. Li You really wanted to poke them. l didnt watch you play. I clearly came here to watch She almost said it, but fortunately even stopped herself. Pei Jingzhou asked, To watch what? Li You shook her head. Pei Jingzhou asked, Did you see that? Li You immediately denied it. No, I didnt see anything. Pei Jingzhou said, Ha! Li You: The two of them walked in the same direction. Xu Ying, who had been waiting for Li You, was long gone. As they walked, Pei Jingzhou said, Lets go eat hotpot tonight. Li Yous eyes lit up. Okay! Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways. Before I say this, I was waiting for you to ask me. Li You pursed her lips. Ask what Pei Jingzhou sighed and smiled. He stopped in his tracks. You can confirm with me what I promised you that night at the Qin residence. Li You bit her lip. Will you wait for me? Pei Jingzhou: Chapter 456 - Chapter 456: Girl, Li You (9) Chapter 456: Girl, Li You (9) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You shook her head. Theres no need to double-check. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Why? Because Li You turned around and smiled secretly. Seeing Pei Jingzhou following her, she immediately suppressed her smile. Because I know what Im doing. Why should 1 confirm it with you repeatedly? Pei Jingzhou murmured, Youd better know what to do. Huh? Dont believe her? Li You turned around and almost sprained her ankle. She quickly grabbed Pei Jingzhous arm, but Pei Jingzhou was faster than her. Youre always so rash. Li You retracted her hand and snorted. Ive been rash since I was young. If Im rash now, Ill be rash in the future. Its enough for you to suffer. Pei Jingzhou smiled imperceptibly. Perhaps, but Im already prepared. Li You spoke at her own pace. For a moment, she could not keep up with Pei Jingzhous words. She was stunned for a moment before asking, What are you prepared for? Pei Jingzhou said, Prepare to suffer for life. As soon as he said this, Li You immediately stopped talking. She stared at Pei Jingzhou quietly for a few seconds, and the corners of her lips curled up crazily. Then, she said in a serious tone, Oh, then youre really unlucky. Pei Jingzhou said, A little. Li You became more and more addicted to acting. 1 pity you for three seconds. Pei Jingzhou thought about it seriously and said, Isnt three seconds too little? A lifetime is a long time. You have to sympathize for at least ten seconds. Li Yous expression was strange. Its not impossible. Pei Jingzhou rubbed her head. Remember to wait for me in the afternoon. Li You did not resist Pei Jingzhous touch at all. She answered his question and asked, Where will I wait for you? Classroom. Then which hotpot restaurant are we going to? The hotpot restaurant youve praised countless times. Is there anyone else? Who else do you want to invite? Hotpot has to have more people, the more the merrier. There was silence after that. Pei Jingzhou did not speak. Li You sensed that Pei Jingzhou was in a bad mood. She moved closer to him and smiled ingratiatingly. Its noisy with too many people. Pei Jingzhou snorted. Didnt you just say that the more the merrier? Li You said, You didnt hear me clearly. I clearly said that its noisy when there are too many people. My head will be buzzing with noise. Pei Jingzhou did not expose her, but the smile on his lips became even gentler. The two of them had known each other for a long time. After Li You turned ten years old, she did not like to bicker with Pei Jingzhou. Because Pei Jingzhou would give in to her every time, as time passed, Li You felt that she was the one bullying Pei Jingzhou. It seemed that she was the only one who could bully Pei Jingzhou?! She was overjoyed. Later on, she found out that every love blossoms in her life was pinched by Pei Jingzhou. The apples in her drawer were always placed by Pei Jingzhou when he came to her classroom in the morning. She participated in sports and broke her leg. Pei Jingzhou carried her for a month and seven days As long as they were in the same school, they could see each other almost every day. However, because Pei Jingzhou was two years older than her, during the two years after Pei Jingzhou took the college entrance examination and left school, Li You thought about him all the time, even though the university he chose was not far from her high school. It was unknown if it was because of her. Pei Jingzhous original life path was to study in England, but he changed his mind after the college entrance examination. He chose to stay in the Capital University. Li You was only 17 years old when she graduated from high school. This year, Li Huaisheng happened to be going to the embassy in Country T. MO Zhu would also go to Country T with Li Huaisheng. Before that, MO Zhu had been the mayor of Shen City for several years. During the three years that Li You was in high school, MO Zhu had been at home. Li Huaisheng would be gone for several years. If MO Zhu went with him, it meant that if Li You stayed in the capital alone, she would not be able to stay by her parents side for the next few years. When Guan Suling found out that her son-in-law had gone to Country T for work, it was understandable for her daughter to go with him. However, she wanted to keep her granddaughter, Li You, behind. Otherwise, when she went to Country T, she could only look forward to Li You returning to the country at the end of the year. On this day, Guan Suling specially came to the Li Mansion. After discussing with Li Huaisheng and MO Zhu, she finally decided to ask Li You what she thought. Little You, have you thought it through? MO Zhu looked at Li You, who was sitting opposite her, and asked gently. In the huge living room, Li You was sitting alone at the side. Guan Suling was sitting at the side, while MO Zhu and Li Huaisheng were sitting on the sofa opposite Li You. Li You heard her mothers words, but she did not answer. She was silent, and no one knew what she was thinking. Li Huaisheng cleared his throat and shouted, Li You! Li You slowly raised her eyes. Her stuttering voice sounded muffled. l, 1, I havent thought about it. Guan Suling got up and sat beside Li You. She pulled Li Yous hand and held it tightly in her palm. Then lets not leave the country. Can you stay with Grandma in the MO Residence? Li You looked at her hopeful grandmother and then at her parents sitting opposite her. She did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, she felt even more depressed. MO Zhu seemed to have seen something. She stood up and walked over to Li You. Come with me. I want to ask you something. Li Yous heart skipped a beat. Looking at her mothers serious expression, she knew that she had to go. She slowly stood up and followed MO Zhu outside. The night was just right. The ground that had been roasted during the day would only feel a little cold at night. There were only Li You and MO Zhu here. Li You was not as nervous as before. It was mainly because in front of her mother, she could confess some secrets. MO Zhu asked with a gentle smile, Whats the reason for your hesitation? Li You stammered, Dont you know? mo zhu sala, I want co near you cell me yourself. Letting her say it herself was a little embarrassing for the process. She debated and mulled over how to say it was appropriate, MO Zhu stepped forward and reached out. She pressed her palm against Li Yous chin and raised her face a little. Look at your mother when you speak. Dont keep your head lowered. Say whatever you want. Li You looked at her mother squarely. Actually, I dont really want to go to Country T. Nio Zhu smiled. Then dont go. Li Yous tone became a little anxious. But if I dont go to Country T, I can only see you guys once a year. MO Zhu asked, Your worry is that you dont want to go to Country T, but you dont want to be separated from us for too long. You want both. Li You nodded vigorously. Yes, yes. Silly girl, how can there be so many things that can be the best of both worlds? When MO Zhu said this, her expression was as gentle as water. She turned around and raised her face slightly to look at the night sky. Li You walked around to MO Zhu. I cant bear to leave the capital, but I cant bear to leave you guys either. Although although Grandma is by my side, thats different. Nio Zhu smiled and asked, Whats different? Li You lowered her eyes. l want to stay by your side. MO Zhu said, Then come overseas with us. Li You hesitated.. But Chapter 457 - Chapter 457: Girl, Li You (10) Chapter 457: Girl, Li You (10) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the end, MO Zhu exposed his daughters true thoughts. The person you cant bear to part with is actually Little Pei, right? Li You suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Since her mother had said it outright, she didnt hide it anymore. 1 cant bear to leave him, she admitted frankly. MO Zhu asked, Does he know about this? Li You nodded. He knows. MO Zhu: Then what did he say? What did he say Li You recalled that afternoon. She had mentioned this in front of Pei Jingzhou, who had only said, You can go wherever you want. It was really just this sentence. There was nothing else. At that time, Li You felt stifled, not because of Pei Jingzhous attitude. Even if he treated her coldly, she would not feel stifled. She felt stifled because of her current choice. However, she did not tell her mother what Pei Jingzhou had said. She only said, He knew about this, but he didnt say anything. MO Zhu said, 1 dont believe he didnt say anything. Li You was stunned. MO Zhu gently pinched his daughters cheek. You two are so close. One day, you suddenly told him that you were going overseas to study. Did he really not say a word? Mom doesnt believe you. Li Yous nose turned sour. She threw herself into MO Zhus arms and said in a low voice, should stay in the country where he can see me. MO Zhu gently held her daughter in her arms and sighed. Have you thought it through? Li You shook her head. No. MO Zhu said gently, Then think again. But I dont know how to make a decision. Li Yous sobs deepened. MO Zhu gently patted his daughters back shoulder. There are many choices you can make. You cant make up your mind now. It doesnt matter. Just think again. After standing outside for a while, MO Zhu led Li You into the living room. When Guan Suling saw Li Yous current state, she swallowed her words. Her son-in-law had also told her something just now. She no longer tried to force Li You to stay. She would just wait for Li You to make her own decision. That night, Li You slept with Guan Suling. Guan Suling patted Li Yous arm gently, just like when she was young. Good girl, I dont care if you stay or go abroad. Nothing is more important than your happiness. Dont be too conflicted. Do what you think. Li You nudged Guan Suling. When I go overseas, Grandma wont be able to see me all the time. Guan Sulings tone was filled with doting. If you go overseas to study, Grandma can come and accompany you. Country T is too far away. Grandma will definitely stay for a month or two every time I go. Ill be satisfied. Li You replied, Okay. The next day, Li You had specially dressed up before leaving. After graduating from high school, she had spent some time dressing up, although her appearance did not require too much fancy dressing. She wore a fog-blue knee-length dress and carried the small bag her mother had bought for her on her shoulder. She went to Pei Jingzhous school to look for him. She had been here so many times in the past month that Pei Jingzhous roommates knew her. Before she got close, she heard one of her roommates say, Old Pei, your girlfriend is here, To Li You, being called a girlfriend was more or less uncomfortable. Even though she had already taken the initiative to confess to Pei Jingzhou and become his girlfriend on the day the college entrance examination ended. Pei Jingzhou looked up and saw her outside the laboratory. She was wearing a fog-blue dress that was beautiful and enchanting. She was so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off her. She stood on her tiptoes and waved at him. Pei Jingzhou threw the book to his roommate. Help me bring it back. His roommate took the book and looked envious. Old Pei is such a boring person, but he actually found a girlfriend with such a lively personality. They simply complement each other. My girlfriend cant wait to not contact me 24 hours a day. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways and replied, Feelings should be maintained from both parties. You can take the initiative to contact each other. His roommate sighed. That wont do. I have to be steady. Pei Jingzhou said, Its good that youre steady. Then youre not far from being single. His roommate: Damn! How can your thirty-six-degree mouth say words that are negative thirty-six degrees! Pei Jingzhou ignored him and walked towards Li You, who was waiting for him at the door. Seeing Pei Jingzhou come out, Li You went forward and held his arm. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Why didnt you send me a WeChat message before you came? Li You said, l want to give you a surprise. Pei Jingzhou said, Its indeed a surprise. Ive thought about it, Li You suddenly said. Pei Jingzhou stopped in his tracks and looked at her sideways. Thought about what? Li You stopped and took a few steps forward. She looked at Pei Jingzhou and said, Ive thought it through. Im not going to Country T. Last night, with her mothers counsel and her grandmothers encouragement, she had thought it through. If she did not leave the country, she would stay at her grandmothers place. That way, she would not have to be in a long-distance relationship with Pei Jingzhou. If I dont go to Country T and stay in the capital, we wont be in a long-distance relationship. I can look for you anytime. You can see me anytime. Li Yous smile was very bright. Are you very happy? She was genuinely happy. Therefore, she hurriedly told Pei Jingzhou, hoping that he would be as caring as her. However, to Li Yous surprise, Pei Jingzhou was not as happy as she had expected. After hearing what she said, his face was almost expressionless. The smile on Li Yous face gradually faded. She did not understand why Pei Jingzhou had such a reaction. Are you unhappy? Pei Jingzhou replied softly, Im happy. Li You let go of his arm. Youre lying. Your expression tells me that youre not happy at all. Pei Jingzhou said, Im really happy. Im not lying to you. Li You looked at his calm face. Then your expression doesnt look like youre really happy at all. You looked reluctant. Theres no reluctance. How can I not be happy if youre willing to stay in the country because of me? he said softly. Li You caught the underlying meaning. Do you have something else to tell Pei Jingzhou held Li Yous hand and said as they walked, 1 said yesterday that you can go wherever you want. I wasnt angry. Li You nodded. Li You, he called her name. Li You replied gloomily, Mm. Pei Jingzhous unhurried voice landed in her ear. No matter what, I wont trap you by my side in any name, unless I have no choice. Li You looked up at him. Why only as a last resort? Pei Jingzhou said, If theres really such a time, it means that you really need me at this time. Theres no other way, and its a last resort. Other than that, I promise you that I wont trap you by my side in any name. Li You said, But Pei Jingzhou said, Go to Country T and stay by your parents side. Ill be by your side in my own way. Li You was stunned. Your own way? At this moment, Li You did not know how Pei Jingzhou would accompany her in his way. His way was actually to take more than 200 days out of 365 days to fly to Country T to see her.. Chapter 458 - Chapter 458: Sweet Happiness (1) Chapter 458: Sweet Happiness (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You had just arrived in Country T and was almost unaccustomed to all kinds of things. These unaccustomed included the climate here, the local customs here, and the environment here. After that, she had skin allergies and insomnia. At night, her skin was so itchy that she couldnt sleep. The anti-allergy medicine she took didnt seem to have any effect. With all kinds of discomfort, she missed the capital very much. But this bit of hardship was nothing. When her mother first came here, she was also not used to all kinds of things. Their situation was similar. The only difference was that her mother had her father by her side at all times. She found her cell phone and called Pei Jingzhou, who was far away in the capital. She talked non-stop, but she did not mention a word about the discomfort here. Instead, she talked about the happy and interesting things she had encountered in Country T. When Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you adapting there? Li You quickly took away her cell phone. Afraid that Pei Jingzhou would hear her gasp, she composed herself and pressed the phone back to her ear. She replied in an extremely light-hearted tone, You dont know me yet. I can adapt anywhere. Moreover, Country T only has the hot rainy season and the cold season. In other words, theres no winter and its not as cold as the capital. I like warm places the most. She thought she had hidden her emotions very well. Little did she know that Pei Jingzhou had guessed everything in the few seconds when she took away the cell phone. Li You. He called her name softly. Li You replied, Yeah? Pei Jingzhou said, Ill enter the companys management in half a month. Li Xiwu blinked and recalled what Pei Jingzhou had said previously. He would enter the company in his second year and take over some of his fathers authority. However, it was postponed because of something. Pei Jingzhous major in university was finance. He had decided to minor in computer science in his second year, so he had delayed entering the company. Mr. Pei wanted Pei Jingzhou to enter an investment bank after minoring in computer science. In his second year of university, Pei Jingzhou studied while making very outstanding results in the investment bank. This year should be his busiest year in university. Be it semester or holidays, Pei Jingzhous figure was almost always in and out of the company, school, and computer laboratory. Now that Pei Jingzhous results had been recognized by the upper echelons of the Pei Corporation, after the recent board meeting, Mr. Pei announced that Pei Jingzhou would directly enter the companys management. This also meant that Pei Jingzhou was about to take over the entire Pei Corporation. Pei Jingzhou then told her, There are a lot of things to do in school and the companys management. I should be busy for a while. 1 dont have much free time. Li You nodded. I know. Pei Jingzhou asked her, What do you know? Li Yous tone was as light as before. Youre telling me this because youre afraid that youll be too busy. If 1 call you but cant find you, Ill be angry. So you let me know first. This way, when I want to look for you but cant find you, Ill know that youre busy and wont be angry. Pei Jingzhous faint laughter came from the phone. Yes, how smart. Hearing his laughter, Li Yous mood improved. Of course. Dont you know whose girlfriend I am? Pei Jingzhou said, But thats not what I meant. The smile on Li Yous lips froze. Huh? Then what do you mean? Pei Jingzhou told her, l said that Ill be busy for a while, but Im not so busy that I wont even have time to pick up my girlfriends call. Im just a little busier than usual. Oh, I see. And What else? she asked urgently. Pei Jingzhou said, l have a flight to Country T the day after tomorrow. Li Yous breathing stopped. The day after tomorrow? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. Li You was not convinced and asked again, The day after tomorrow? Pei Jingzhou replied patiently, Yes, the late-night flight the day after tomorrow. Pei Jingzhou Her voice was muffled and nasal. Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked her, Why? Am I not welcome? Li You said, Ive only been in Country T for a week. Pei Jingzhou asked, So? Li You said, Weve only been apart for a week and youre already here. Actually, we can save up. How many times can you come a year? Youre here so quickly. I dont know when the next time will be. So thats what youre worried about? He sounded amused. Youll use the time you had before to fly to Country T to see me. How extravagant. Although she said this, she was actually overjoyed. Pei Jingzhou said, Then following on, Ill come to see you every few days. Other than being extravagant, will you be annoyed? Li You thought he was joking. Country T and the capital were two countries apart, not two cities. However, since Pei Jingzhou had made this joke, how could she disappoint him? Of course not. Not only will I not be annoyed, but my happiness will soar to an unimaginable level. These words were sweet to Pei Jingzhous heart. He said, Wait for me. Ill see you the day after tomorrow. She replied, Okay, got it, boyfriend. Li Yous voice was not delicate, but it sounded very soft, especially in front of Pei Jingzhou. In her first year in Country T, Li You returned five times. Pei Jingzhou had come to Country T a total of 128 times in the past year. The next year, Li You returned to the country nine times, while Pei Jingzhou came to Country T 202 times. Most of the time, he returned after staying for a day. If it was counted separately, there were more than 400 flights. It seemed that as long as he had time, he would come to Country T to see her and accompany her. For the past few years, Pei Jingzhou had come to Country T to spend Li Yous birthday with her. Therefore, before Pei Jingzhous 22nd birthday, Li You secretly returned to the country a day early. She took a taxi with her suitcase and was on her way to Bangkok airport when she ran into a minor car accident. The forward stop of the cars inertia made her bang her knee. The car in front collided even more seriously. The ambulance was here, and Li Yous knees only bumped slightly, but the chauffeur still suggested that she change her flight and go to the hospital for a checkup first. Li You was unwilling. She took another taxi to the airport. Before she boarded the plane, she received a call from her father. When he found out about her accident, he asked her to stay. Li You did not know how her father found out so quickly, but in order to give Pei Jingzhou a surprise, she still boarded the plane. She thought that Pei Jingzhou did not know that she was back. But when she got off the plane, she saw Pei Jingzhou. At that time, Li You was stunned on the spot and thought that she was hallucinating. How did Pei Jingzhou know that she had secretly returned? Had her father told him? Li You quickly pushed her suitcase over. The closer she got, the clearer Pei Jingzhous face became in her vision.. When she got closer, she looked up and asked in disbelief, Why are you here? Chapter 459 - Chapter 459: Sweet Happiness (2) Chapter 459: Sweet Happiness (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The 22-year-old Pei Jingzhou was no longer the white-shirted young man who pinched her love blossoms in school and stuffed apples into her drawer. He exuded the charm of a mature man. The combination of a brown shirt and black pants was impossible to ignore. The only thing that remained unchanged was his mesmerizing face. Pei Jingzhou looked at Li You quietly for a few seconds and replied, Is it possible that 1 1 m here to pick up someone else? The corners of Li Yous mouth, which was almost at the back of her head, suddenly pulled back. She stopped smiling and snorted arrogantly. Then, she pushed her suitcase and tried to walk past him. She shouted, Excuse me. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and really listened to her. He moved aside slightly to make way for her. The corners of Li Yous pursed lips lowered. He had moved away just like that. It seemed that he was really not here to pick her up However, she was not angry. After all, she had come back secretly behind his back this time. Pei Jingzhou did not know at all before this. It might have been a coincidence. She happened to be back today, and Pei Jingzhou happened to come to the airport to pick someone up. She took two steps back to his side and said in a soft voice, Then Ill wait with you. Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, Youre not passing by anymore? Li You pouted. Dont laugh at me. Pei Jingzhou reached over and took the suitcase from her hand. He held her hand with his other hand. Lets go. Li You blinked at him. Arent you picking someone up? Pei Jingzhou said, You really believe that? Li You: Pei Jingzhou said softly, Im here to pick you up. Li You pulled her hand back. Then why did you lie to me? Then why didnt you tell me you were coming back this time? His reason was more valid than hers. Immediately, the reasons Li You found were untenable. She might as well throw a tantrum. She turned her head and ignored him, walking forward with her head held high. At this moment, many people came out of the airport one after another. Li You walked so quickly that she almost bumped into someone. One second, she was as arrogant as a little peacock, but the next, she quickly apologized non-stop. Pei Jingzhou walked forward and grabbed her wrist. Without saying a word, he led her out of the airport. Li You could feel that he was angry. That faint anger was not so obvious, but she could feel it. To be more specific, she couldnt see it, but she couldnt ignore it. Was it because shed come back so suddenly that he was angry? Or was he angry because she hadnt told him she was back this time? But wasnt a surprise even happier? She wondered if she was the only one who thought so. They got into the car. Along the way, Pei Jingzhou did not speak much at first. Li You had always been talkative. This time, she quietened down and sat obediently beside him. However, she felt uncomfortable after being quiet for too long. She slowly moved closer and closer to him. When she touched his clothes, Li You stopped and looked up. How did I provoke you? Pei Jingzhou did not say a word. Li You was never afraid of Pei Jingzhous expressionless face. He was a tiger in front of outsiders, but in front of her, he was a paper tiger. Pei Jingzhou still looked at her quietly. Li You hugged Pei Jingzhous arm and tightened her grip. You have to let me know what provoked you. How would I know if you dont tell me? Pei Jingzhous lips twitched. Are you sure you dont know? Through Pei Jingzhous gaze, Li You suddenly thought of something. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately let go of his arm and sat up straight. Did you know that I had a minor car accident on the way to the airport? Pei Jingzhous voice turned cold. You call that a minor car accident? It was indeed this matter. She should have thought of it earlier. Since Pei Jingzhou was here to pick her up, it must have been her father who told her that she was back today. How else would he have known she was back? Her father must have mentioned to Pei Jingzhou that she had encountered a small car accident on the way to the airport. She explained, It was just a minor car accident. The cab I was in was hit by the aftershock. I dont have a scratch on me. Pei Jingzhous tone was a little heavy. Its inauspicious to encounter such a thing when you go out. You should go back now. If anything happens again Li You leaned over. Pei Jingzhou, why do you still believe that you have to read the almanac when you go out? l never believe in these things. Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways. But if its related to you, I believe it. Li You bit her lip and did not speak for a long time. Shed been hit in the knee in this minor car accident. Her knee hadnt hurt at all since the four-hour flight. She was fine. However, in Pei Jingzhous opinion, a minor car accident was a huge matter. Li You said softly, l did it to surprise you. Pei Jingzhou said, Its a shock. l was wrong l forgive you. Hehe. Dont laugh. Dont I look good when I smile? Pei Jingzhou did not answer her. He just pressed her down and kissed her. Up until now, the two of them had been in a relationship. Their intimacy was limited to kissing. Other than that, neither of them had taken half a step past that. Pei Jingzhou valued her very much and treated her almost like a treasure. Even though he had always known Chapter 460 - Chapter 460: Sweet Happiness (3) Chapter 460: Sweet Happiness (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was time for Li You to get out of the car, but she did not want to leave at all. She refused to let go of Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou let her hug him like this and did not rush her. He asked casually, Hows your studies recently? Li You said, Why didnt you ask me if Ive missed you recently? Pei Jingzhou said, l know that. What if I didnt miss you? she asked deliberately. It seemed that there was indeed no need to miss him too much. This relationship between the two of them seemed to be a long-distance relationship, but it was actually like falling in love in a neighborhood. Pei Jingzhou calmly removed her hand from his arm. Seeing this, Li You smiled awkwardly and immediately regained her composure. She did not forget to say, l was wrong, I was wrong. Pei Jingzhou said, You did nothing wrong. Li You hugged his arm tightly. l missed you. Pei Jingzhou smiled. That sounds a little perfunctory. She tried to please him. Very, very much. Pei lingzholl said. Its still perfunctory. Of course, the words were perfunctory. Practical actions were real! Li You and Pei Jingzhou had been in a relationship for so long, so how could she not know? She bent one leg and knelt on the seat. The hands that were holding his arms raised and rested on his shoulders. She leaned forward and kissed Pei Jingzhous cheek. Other than her actions being a little rough, she was still very gentle when she kissed. She asked, Is this still perfunctory? Pei Jingzhou hooked his finger at her. Li You slowly approached. Pei Jingzhou reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her body to press down. He kissed her lips. At this stage, Pei Jingzhous kisses would not be too much. He was afraid that Li You would reject a kiss too deep. After all, not everyone could accept it. Of course, he would be the one suffering after a deep kiss. Therefore, at this moment, he only kissed her lips lightly. It was soft, like cotton candy. He wanted to continue exploring after plucking it. But he was very rational and restrained. He grabbed her chin and kissed her again. He immediately let go of her. Hurry up and go in. Li You did not leave. She placed her hands on his shoulders. You chased me away after kissing me. Pei Jingzhou, your behavior is not good. Pei Jingzhous smile was doting. He asked her, Then what do you want? What did she want Of course she wanted to Ah, no. She had to be more reserved. Once she said the words, they would make her look unreserved. She retracted her hand and moved her knees from the seat. She turned around and got out of the car. Standing outside the car, she waved at Pei Jingzhou. See you tomorrow, Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou asked her, You havent told me where you want to go. Li You grinned. l dont have much time to come back to the capital, and I dont know where its fun. You can decide, When youve decided, send me a WeChat message. Pei Jingzhou thought for a moment and agreed. Okay. She closed the car door. Before she went in, Pei Jingzhous car would not leave, Dao Xi came out to pick her up. After she followed Dao Xi in, Pei Jingzhous car left. Back at the MO residence. This time, Li You returned just in time to see MO Yan at home. During this period, MO Yan studied while filming in the entertainment industry with Auntie MO Yujin. Because she was still young, most of the roles she played were daughters or sisters. There were no formal roles. Li You asked, Are you planning to develop in the entertainment industry in the future? MO Yan handed an orange to Li You and picked up an orange to slowly peel. Although Im not in the acting department, Im full of energy every time I act. I like being an actress, so I have this plan. Li You peeled the orange in her hand and encouraged MO Yan as she did so. In less than five years, you will definitely become famous and become a household name. MO Yan laughed out loud. Although Ive acted in several dramas, Ive never even acted as an official supporting actress. It takes me at least ten years to become a household name. Li You stuffed the orange slice into her mouth. The sour taste spread. She narrowed her eyes. As long as you like it, ten years is nothing. MO Yan looked at Li Yous expression and then at the freshly peeled orange in her hand. In the end, she decisively put the orange aside. Youre right. Whats ten or twenty years? Guan Suling, who was sitting at the side, split the sweetest orange in her hand into two and gave Li You and MO Yan half each. At this moment, Dao Xi walked over and said, Miss Chuchu is here. Guan Suling replied, Bring her to the back garden. Dao Xi replied, Okay. Li You turned to ask her grandmother, l saw Chuchu once when 1 came back last year. 1 havent seen her since I came back this year. Did she go to another Sister Chuchu was in Hong Kong last year. Shes been home since she came back in the second half of this year, MO Yan answered. Guan Suling said, Yanyan is right. Chuchu has been in the Qin residence for the second half of this year. As for what Qin Chu was doing in the second half of this year, Li You didnt ask her grandmother and MO Yan in detail. She thought that since Qin Chu was here, she would talk to her more later. She broke off the sweet orange her grandmother had given her and had just stuffed a piece into her mouth when she heard someone call out to her not far away, Li You! Li You looked up in the direction of the voice. When she saw a young woman with a big belly, she was slightly stunned. When she saw again that the pregnant woman was Qin Chu, she choked on the orange juice in her mouth and coughed violently. Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough Cough, cough, cough Guan Suling was shocked by Li Yous almost breathless cough. She quickly patted Li Yous back. You cant eat too much just because this orange is sweet. Look at you, your face is red from choking. Nio Yan chuckled at the side. Cousin was clearly frightened by Sister Chuchus big belly! Li You wanted to say yes, but when she opened her mouth, her throat itched and tears flowed out. She looked like she had really choked. At this moment, Qin Chu walked over. Seeing that Li You was coughing and out of breath, she couldnt help but laugh at her. Its only been half a year. Look at you. Li You took a sip of the water her grandmother had poured for her before she felt a little better. Her face, which was red from coughing, had yet to recover. She looked at Qin Chu with her watery eyes. Oh, no, more specifically, she was looking at Qin Chus bulging stomach. She swallowed and asked, This is a balloon, isnt it? Qin Chu raised her hand and knocked her forehead. Why didnt you ask if it was a rubber ball? Li You smiled. l knew you were joking. Qin Chu looked serious. What joke? Li You could not smile again. Are you serious? It was Qin Chus turn to laugh. What do you think? Li You couldnt believe it. She still remembered when she saw Qin Chu last year, she asked if Qin Chu had wooed her crush. She heard from Qin Chu that she hadnt wooed him and that they hadnt contacted each other for a long time, and she couldnt let go. She even persuaded Qin Chu to welcome the new forest as soon as possible. It had only been half a year since they last met, but Qin Chu was about to give birth! Chapter 461 - Chapter 461: Sweet Happiness (4) Chapter 461: Sweet Happiness (4) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You still could not believe it. She stared at the bulging belly in front of her for a long time. In the end, she realized that it was useless to stare. Mostly, it didnt seem real. She simply reached over and tried to touch it, feel it. With her hand in the air, she hesitated like a coward. Qin Chu grabbed her hand and pressed it against her stomach. Look carefully. Is it a balloon or a rubber ball? Li You suddenly choked. It wasnt a balloon or a rubber ball. It was a solid belly. She didnt retract her hand. She looked up at Qin Chu and asked, Whose? Qin Chu smiled. Of course Im pregnant with mine. Li You said, What I mean is, this stomach Oh no, this child, who did you have it with? Qin Chu stopped teasing Li You and sat down at the seat MO Yan had made for her. She took the orange from Li Yous hand and ate it. As she ate, she said, Shen Yihe. Li You coughed. Qin Chu: Still choking? Li You raised her hand and pinched her neck. Its still a little itchy. With that, she sat down and turned to look at her grandmother. At this moment, her grandmother was peeling oranges again. Sensing Li Yous gaze, she looked up. Whats wrong, darling? Li You asked, When 1 came back before, why didnt I hear you mention Qin Chus pregnancy? Guan Suling said, You never asked, so I didnt mention it. Li You: Okay. Qin Chu finished the orange in her hand and took another one to peel. Seeing this, Li You quickly took the orange from her hand. Ill do it, Ill do it, Ill do it. She said it three times in a row, which was enough to show how attentive she was. Qin Chu placed one hand on the stone table and rested her chin on her palm. She looked at the extremely solicitous Li You. You were really scared when my stomach appeared. Li You sighed. You dont say. She thought she was hallucinating! But it was actually real! Of course she would be shocked! MO Yan echoed, Cousin, follow the trend. Li You chuckled. She handed the quickly peeled orange to Qin Chu. Some oranges are sour, some are sweet. Grandma peeled that just now, so its very sweet. Try this. If its sour, Ill peel it for you again. Its just right. Ive always liked to eat sour food since I was pregnant. After saying that, Qin Chu ate a piece and let out a hiss. Li You guessed from her expression. Its sour. Qin Chu said, It suits my taste. Li You thought of the phrase sour for boys and spicy for girls and asked, Do you believe in sour for boys and spicy for girls? Qin Chu asked, Then do you believe in that? Beside her, MO Yan said, l believe in chromosomes. As someone from the older generation, Guan Suling also said, The placenta will produce a hormone that will reduce the secretion of stomach acid and affect the appetite and digestive function of pregnant women. Only sour taste can revive the appetite. Qin Chu ate the orange and looked at Li You. Sour are boys and spicy are girls are one way of putting it. If you really want to know the babys gender, youll know in a month. Li You had been listening carefully to her grandmother. After hearing Qin Chus words, she looked at her stomach. In other words, your due date is coming up. Qin Chu nodded. When I saw you more than half a year ago, you couldnt have already been pregnant, right? Li You asked this question. She wanted to confirm it. Qin Chu didnt hide it from her and admitted, Yes, I just got pregnant. Li You said, Then why did you say Qin Chu told Li You the truth. l was planning to take the baby away, but he stopped me. Li You said, But Dont worry, its definitely legal to give birth to this child. Weve registered our marriage, but we didnt have a wedding, Qin Chu said. Qin Chu knew that Li You was worried about her, so she told her the truth. Li You would not feel bad for Qin Chu, but she would not be happy for her either, because Shen Yihe did not give Qin Chu an official identity. It was not that she wanted to be the young madam of the Shen family, but Shen Yihe s wife in public. Because Qin Chu and Shen Yihe were currently in a secret marriage. If Qin Chu hadnt come this time, she wouldnt have known that not only had Qin Chu registered her marriage with Shen Yihe, but she was also about to give birth. However, Qin Chu said that after Shen Yihe finished dealing with the Shen family, he would hold a wedding for her. Although it would be a little late, there would definitely be one. When Li You heard this, her prejudice against Shen Yihe improved a little. However, because of Qin Chus pregnancy today, Li You became even more determined. Shen Yihe and Pei Jingzhou seemed to be friends, right? Shen Yihe was already a father! But Pei Jingzhou was still a monk. Therefore, at night, she took the initiative to call Pei Jingzhou. On the phone, she told Pei Jingzhou about this. Just as she had expected, Pei Jingzhou also knew about Shen Yihe and Qin Chus marriage. Li You said, Pei Jingzhou, youre so tight-lipped. You didnt tell me anything. You never even asked. What am I supposed to tell you? he replied with a smile. Li You bit her lip and called out to him in a coquettish tone, Pei Pei Jingzhou was very quiet. Li You thought that her tone had been too coquettish just now. She corrected her tone slightly and said in her normal tone, Can I interview you? After a while, Pei Jingzhous voice sounded. What do you want to interview? Without Pei Jingzhou knowing, the smile on Li Yous face was very sly. She asked, Your friend is already a father. May I ask how you feel now? Pei Jingzhou said, Nothing. Li You said, Answer well. Pei Jingzhou said, l did. I really dont have any thoughts. Li You did not believe him and asked, Dont you want to get married to me sooner? Yes, I do, he answered without hesitation. Li You smiled as if it wasnt worth much. l do, too. Pei Jingzhou said, But no. The worthless smile on Li Yous lips instantly disappeared, as if it had never existed. She asked, Why? Pei Jingzhou said, l havent taken over the Pei Corporation and R.E. yet. Although Li You understood, she could not help but say, I dont want your assets. I want you. Pei Jingzhou smiled gently. Im very honored that you want me. Li You pursed her lips. Hmph. Pei Jingzhou knew that she was unhappy and explained to her patiently, My father values strength more. If 1 cant achieve the results he wants, the heir of the Pei Corporation can also have an outsiders surname. In his opinion, its fine without the Pei familys bloodline. Therefore, before taking over the Pei Corporation and R.E., Im not qualified to marry you. It would have been better if he hadnt explained. Now that he had, she felt even worse. Im not a gold-swallowing beast. It wont cost you much. Youre not in a hurry. If I run away with someone one day, youll regret it. Pei Jingzhou said, It seems that I have to work harder. Li You bit her lip and stammered as she reminded him, Actually, your efforts can be used in other aspects. Pei Jingzhou did not seem to understand what she meant. In what way? Li You blushed. What do you think? Pei Jingzhou said, Be more specific. Nothing more specific. You can figure it out yourself. Li Yous cheeks were hot. After saying that, she quickly hung up.. Chapter 462 - Chapter 462: Sweet Happiness (5) Chapter 462: Sweet Happiness (5) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After ending the call with Pei Jingzhou, Li You threw away her cell phone and got up to open the suitcase she had brought back. The suitcase was relatively heavy. Actually, there were only two or three pieces of clothes. The really heavy ones were the gifts she had brought for Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou did not lack material things, but if it was too simple, it would seem insincere, so she had prepared many gifts. One was a scarf she had learned to knit from her mother. She knew that Pei Jingzhou was suitable for black or dark brown, but she had knitted a pure white scarf. She had failed many times during this period, making it look ugly. Fortunately, the final product was satisfactory. After all, failure was the mother of success. There was also a photo album she had made herself. It was filled with photos of her and Pei Jingzhou over the years. There were also individual photos of Pei Jingzhou. They were all taken by her. Because Pei Jingzhou did not like to take photos, he did not take selfies. It was all thanks to her. Then there was a custom-made watch for men that she had been waiting for half a year. It was Patek Philippe and cost seven figures. It was very, very expensive and had almost cost her most of her savings over the years, but it was worth it. There was also a fountain pen, which was also custom-made. There were also abbreviations of her and Pei Jingzhous surname in the cap. Although it was not the most expensive brand, it still cost nearly six digits. She thought that Pei Jingzhou had many places to use a pen. If she gave him a fountain pen, it would definitely be useful. Finally, there was the ring. It was a platinum pair of rings. Both of them were plain rings. There were no patterns or carvings, nor were there any symbols or meanings. It was just that she felt that the plain rings were good-looking and suitable. Moreover, Pei Jingzhous fingers were so good-looking. They would definitely look good on such rings. After listing these gifts on the bed, she realized that there were not many gifts. There were only five. It was the packaging box that took up space. In addition, there was a butterfly-shaped memory pillow in the suitcase that was suitable for old people. She had bought it from a famous shop in Bangkok. It was said that the craftsmanship was very rare and the effect was amazing. Many people specialized in flying there from various countries to buy it. She could be considered to be following the trend, but the homework shed done said it was indeed useful. She hoped shed followed the trend correctly this time. Well, now Im broke. She giggled at the pile of gifts in front of her. Knock knock knock C There was a knock on the door. Li You was shocked. She quickly pulled the blanket over these gifts. Half of them were not covered, but she did not notice. She went over and opened the door. Seeing that it was her grandmother standing outside the door, Li You grinned. Grandma, why arent you asleep? Guan Suling said, Its rare for you to come back to the country. Everyone is together during the day, and Grandma doesnt have the chance to talk to you. With that, Guan Suling looked into the room behind Li You and asked, Is it convenient for Grandma to come in? Of course its convenient. Li You quickly stepped aside and invited her grandmother into the bedroom. This bedroom belonged to Li You alone. Not long after Li You was born, Guan Suling vacated this room for Li You to use as her own bedroom. Although Qin Chu and Li You were both Guan Sulings granddaughters, there was actually a difference in treatment. She wasnt biased from the start, but after interacting with them for so long, she was biased. After Qin Chu and Qin Zhuoning were born, they were taken care of by their paternal grandparents. MO Yujin was also in a half-retired state for those few years and stayed by her childrens side. Li You was different. Li Huaishengs parents died early, which meant that Li You was destined to be born without paternal grandparents. Those few years were when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was busy. MO Zhu took up the position of mayor of Shen City not long after giving birth to Li You. Li You grew up beside Guan Suling almost from the age of one to five. Therefore, to Guan Suling, Li You had been raised by her side since she was young. She was almost as precious as her heart. Naturally, she would be more biased towards Li You. When Guan Suling came in, she said, l often get someone to clean your room. Im afraid that one day, you wont be able to sleep at night because of the pungent dust. I raised you. Not many people know you better than me. Look at you this time. You came back without saying anything. Fortunately, your room is often cleaned. Otherwise, you definitely wouldnt be able to sleep tonight. Li You went forward and held Guan Sulings arm. If I really cant sleep, Ill sleep in Grandmas room. Guan Suling laughed at her. How old are you? Why a_re you still sleeping with Grandma? Even if Im in my fifties or sixties, I still want to sleep with Grandma. Li You leaned her head on Guan Sulings shoulder and acted like a spoiled child. Guan Suling was extremely satisfied. She pulled Li You over to sit down and chat slowly. When she reached the bed, she casually lifted the blanket and saw a pile of things on the bed. Guan Suling retracted her hand and asked, Little You, what are these? In front of her grandmother, Li You did not hide anything and said honestly, Its the birthday gifts I prepared for Pei Jingzhou. Little Peis birthday? Guan Suling did not know that Li You had come back for Pei Jingzhous birthday this time. She thought that she had decided to come back at the last minute just like before and deliberately surprised her. In the end, this surprise was for someone else. Li You nodded. Yes, its Pei Jingzhous birthday tomorrow, so I came back a day early to celebrate his birthday. Guan Suling snorted. When a girl grows up, she cant be kept. When this granddaughter grows up, she cant be kept. Li You giggled and patted the bed. Grandma, sit first. Guan Suling sat down. Li You immediately went to open the suitcase and took out the butterfly-shaped memory pillow in front of Guan Suling. Grandma, this is for you. Guan Suling was slightly stunned. When she reacted, she quickly reached out and took it. Is this for me? Li You nodded. Yes, its for you. This is called a memory pillow. I dont know if it really has the effect of increasing memory, but it can relieve your cervical vertebra disease and protect your spine better. Guan Suling was touched and relieved. Every time you come back, you would buy things for me. You just have to buy more for yourself. Why would Grandma need you to pay for anything? Li You sat down beside Guan Suling. l bought it for you. Its different from what you bought yourself. Guan Suling almost couldnt stop smiling. Like many elders, she said things she didnt mean, but she was actually overjoyed. The two of them chatted for a long time. Li You told her grandmother about her parents recent situation and her studies. She chattered for a long time like a chatterbox. Unknowingly, they were talking about Li Yous marriage. Guan Suling put the pillow aside and held Li Yous hands. Hows your progress with Little Pei? When she heard this from her grandmother, Li You did not think in that direction and said honestly, l think Im going to marry him.. Chapter 463 - Chapter 463: Sweet Happiness (6) Chapter 463: Sweet Happiness (6) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Guan Suling asked, Do you really think so? Li You nodded. Yes. After nodding, she asked her grandmother, Does Grandma think were not compatible? Anyway, she had always firmly believed that she would marry Pei Jingzhou in the future, sooner or later. Youre compatible, but youre not compatible, too. Guan Sulings expression was serious. I l have nothing to say about how Little Pei treats you. Ive seen all his efforts when you went overseas in the past two years, but no matter how good a relationship is, it cant withstand the test of time. Li You asked, Grandma, do you think hell have a change of heart? Guan Suling shook her head. It might not be him who has a change of heart. It might be you. Li Yous eyes widened and she said in disbelief, Why? I thought you would say that relationships cant withstand tests after a long time. The first person to change his mind will be Pei Jingzhou. Haha Guan Suling suddenly smiled brightly. This was a smile rarely seen on Guan Sulings face. Li You laughed too. After Guan Suling smiled, she said to Li You, Little Pei might have a change of heart, but the probability of him having a change of heart is lower than yours, because hes too proactive. Do you know that in love, the most proactive party often doesnt end well? Li You smiled, but she could no longer smile. Its over. After hearing her grandmothers words, she felt that she had the potential to be a scumbag. It was as if she would one day fall in love with someone else and abandon Pei Jingzhou, who had been by her side for many years. Li You found a good reason. Pei Jingzhou is handsome, rich, and has a good figure. Hes one in a million. With such an outstanding boyfriend by my side, and if I can still fall in love with someone else, I must be blind. Guan Suling patted the back of Li Yous hand. Silly girl, dont you understand what Grandma means? Li You was stunned. Huh? Guan Suling reminded her, Be more proactive and treat him better. It takes so much energy and time to go back and forth from the capital to Country T. How firm must his belief be to last so long? Now, do you understand what Grandma means? So that was what her grandmother meant. Li You nodded. I understand. Ill take the initiative. The next day, Pei Jingzhou came to the Nio residence early to wait for Li You. Li You came out with a shopping bag and sat in Pei Jingzhous front passenger seat. She had dressed up specially today. Her emerald green halter dress was paired with small rhinestone strappy sandals. Her hair, which she had permed before, was slightly curly and fell down her back like seaweed. She was ridiculously beautiful. Pei Jingzhou stared at her for a long time. Li You leaned over and asked, Does it look good? Pei Jingzhou nodded and said, Yes. The girls smile was as sweet as a peach and as bright as a lotus. She was uniquely beautiful in front of Pei Jingzhou. While he was in a daze, he sensed that she had taken the initiative to hold his hand. He looked down and saw Li You take out a ring from somewhere and silently put it on his middle finger. The size of the ring was very suitable. It was obvious that it was custom-made. Pei Jingzhou stared at the ring for a long time until he heard Li You call his name. Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou slowly looked up. The next second, the girl pushed herself up from the armrest box and reached over to hook her other hand around his neck and kiss him. The kiss on his lips was very light and soft. It seemed to be the same as usual, but also different from usual. Oh no. After Li You left Pei Jingz,hous lips, she saw a crystal clear smile on Pei Jingzhous lips. She suppressed a smile and thought to herself, Oh no. She accidentally rubbed her lip gloss on Pei Jingzhous lips. It was all her fault for applying a thick layer of lip gloss when she went out. In order to look good, she had just kissed and completely forgotten about this. Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and gently scratched his lips with his fingers. When he looked down again, Li Yous lip gloss was printed on his fingers. Li You looked apologetic. The next time I know Im going to kiss you, Ill definitely put on matte lipstick. Lipgloss is easy to transfer. Pei Jingzhou couldnt help but laugh. Anything. With that, he raised his hand with the ring on it. With the back of his hand to her, he asked, This is? Li You said loudly, Birthday gift. After saying the birthday gift out loud, she whispered, Do you like it? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Yes, I like it. She would burst with joy for a long time because of the word like. Thanks for the birthday present, he said. What are you thanking me for? Youre my boyfriend. Its only right for a girlfriend to prepare a birthday gift for her boyfriend, she said with a smile. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Is it a couple ring? How did you know? Li Yous smile turned to surprise. I dont think youll just buy a plain ring. If you only buy one ring, itll probably be patterned. There should be two plain rings, I guess, he said slowly, but his tone was firm. Li You opened her palm under his gaze. You guessed right. Its indeed a couple ring. Pei Jingzhou reached out to take it and held her hand. Since its a pair of rings, Ive already put it on, so you have to put it on too. The size of her ring was also very suitable. Seeing Pei Jingzhou put the ring on her finger, she murmured, It feels like a proposal. Pei Jingzhou picked up her hand and kissed the part where the ring was on. When that day comes, it will be a unique ring. The diamonds embedded on it will be your favorite color. The diamonds will also be your favorite shape. They will be very dazzling and most suitable for you. He was talking about a diamond wedding ring. Although that day had yet to come, when he said it now, she felt very, very close, as if their wedding were right in front of her. Suddenly, she was looking forward to it. She opened the bag for Pei Jingzhou to see. These are also gifts for you, but its more important for us to go out and play. You can take your time to look at them tomorrow, okay? Pei Jingzhou reached out to take it. Actually, he couldnt help but want to open it and take a look. However, there was very little time in the morning, so he couldnt delay it for too long. He took a rough look and placed it in the backseat reluctantly. Okay. Next, Pei Jingzhou drove Li You to the sea of flowers to take a hot air balloon. There was little time in the morning. This plan was just in time. After lunch, they went to the cafeteria that Li You had booked. She had booked a cake in advance, She knew that Pei Jingzhou did not like noisy places, so she booked a private room in the cafeteria. Although he didnt eat much of the cake, the meaning was very important. After all, it was also a birthday. It meant that another year had passed. In the afternoon, Pei Jingzhou brought Li You to the paragliding base. Li You liked this ride very much. It was Pei Jingzhou who brought her to play for the first time. Ever since then, she had liked it. Pei Jingzhou and Li You were outside for the entire day. After playing and eating, Li You was exhausted. She fell asleep in the car on the way back. When she woke up in a daze, she realized that she was in Pei Jingzhous arms. The surroundings were very familiar. It was the front garden of her grandmothers house. Instantly, she woke up and turned to look around. Why are we back? Pei Jingzhou stopped in his tracks. What? Li You turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Why are we back? Pei Jingzhou told her, Its almost seven. If youre tired from playing, Ill send you back first. Why are we back? Couldnt we go to a hotel! In a moment of anxiety, she blurted out the words without thinking. Pei Jingzhous eyes darkened.. To a hotel? Chapter 464 - Chapter 464: Sweet Happiness (7) Chapter 464: Sweet Happiness (7) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You had been preparing for this for a long time. She had even bought that and secretly hid it in the compartment of her bag, afraid that Pei Jingzhou would find out. She was ready to do her best. She was just waiting for the spring night. In the end, the segment was stuck. She fell asleep because she was too tired from playing and was brought back to the MO residence by Pei Jingzhou! At this moment, she did not dare to look into Pei Jingzhous eyes. She only dared to peek at him from the corner of her eye. Realizing the change in his gaze, her face turned hot and she kicked her legs. Pei Jingzhou, put me down first. ! Pei Jingzhou agreed and put her down. When she kept her gaze averted, he asked softly, What did you secretly plan this time? Li You looked obedient, but she was thinking: Plan what? What else can I plan! Of course its our lifelong harmony! You blockhead! Blockhead, blockhead, blockhead! She lowered her head and criticized Pei Jingzhou in her heart. If not for his birthday today, she would have scolded him. Well, okay. Even if it wasnt his birthday today, she couldnt bear to scold him. As she cursed silently, her chin was gently raised by the hand reaching out in front of her. She had no choice but to look up at him. Pei Jingzhous eyes darkened slightly. When he spoke, his voice was low and hoarse. You havent answered my question. Why should I answer you? She knew nothing else but to go back on her word. Ive already given you my birthday gifts. What else can I plan? Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand. Looks like Im thinking too much. As soon as Pei Jingzhou finished speaking, Li You suddenly leaned in front of him and grabbed the fabric on his arm. Then what are you thinking? Pei Jingzhou smiled. What I was thinking was He paused deliberately, arousing her extremely strong curiosity. Li You couldnt wait to know what Pei Jingzhou was thinking, but what she heard was, What Im thinking is that the other gifts havent been opened yet. You probably want to find a quieter place to open the rest of the gifts with me. This birthday is considered perfect, then. Li You was a little angry. You might as well not say anything. She had waited a long time for such an answer. Of course she was disappointed. She knew that Pei Jingzhou was very cautious about this matter and respected her very much, but at this moment, Li You treated him as if he respected her too much, so much so that he could misinterpret her obvious words. How unromantic. Eh Could it be that Pei Jingzhou couldnt do it? The moment this thought appeared in her mind, Li You immediately knocked the wooden fish a dozen times in her heart. Pei Jingzhou took half a step back and stared at her. Then Ill leave? Li You nodded absent-mindedly. Pei Jingzhou asked, Arent you going to open the remaining gifts with me? Im not going. Unwrap it yourself. Itll be more surprising. If I were around, I wouldnt be able to resist saying what the gifts in every box were. That way, there wont be any surprises, she said in a muffled voice, looking a little unhappy. Pei Jingzhou nodded in agreement. Youre right. Ill leave first. Li You nodded. Oh. Pei Jingzhou turned around and left. Li You stood rooted to the ground and watched as Pei Jingzhou left. She had just sighed when Pei Jingzhou turned around and asked her, Arent you going to send me off? Li You was stunned for a moment before she immediately chased after him. Her tone was filled with self-reproach. Im sorry. I was thinking too much just now and forgot that I should have sent you off. Pei Jingzhou took her hand and they walked side by side. He said, It seems that you do have a lot on your mind. So much so that you have to apologize to me. Li You bit her lip and said nothing in the end. At the car, Li You was about to wave her hand when Pei Jingzhou stopped her wrist. Actually, theres another place I havent taken you to. Hearing Pei Jingzhou!s words, Li You instantly perked up. Where? Pei Jingzhou stared at her sparkling eyes and said slowly, I bought a house. Ive been supervising the renovation for a while, but I havent bought all the furniture yet. I think when you come back next time, youll see the house with all the furniture. Li You was not surprised. In her opinion, it was not surprising for Pei Jingzhou to buy many houses. It was impossible for him to have only one property under his name. There would definitely be countless in the future. However, since Pei Jingzhou had told her, it meant that this house should be very important. After all, it was a house that he had personally supervised. He was so busy and still had time to supervise. The answer was obvious. She bit her lip and asked, Is it our wedding house? Pei Jingzhou replied, Mm. Li You was overjoyed that she had guessed correctly. Because of this, she could not wait to see her and his wedding house. Even though Pei Jingzhou said that it would only be renovated for a while and had yet to buy all the furniture, she couldnt suppress the small excitement in her heart. The next time I come back, itll probably be the end of the year, she tried to suggest. Can you take me to see it now? Worried that Pei Jingzhou wouldnt take her, she even said, I want to remember the structure of the house. If I buy the furniture I like overseas one day, Ill know where to place it. It can be considered participating in the furnishings. Besides, I dont even know how the renovation style is. Is it my style? Pei Jingzhou said, You dont like the heavy and cumbersome decor. Yo, you know me pretty well. She was secretly delighted. Pei Jingzhou continued, You like a simple renovation style. Its best if its Morandi color. Use less black because black looks too dull. If you look at it for too long, it will affect your usual mood. With every word Pei Jingzhou said, Li You looked even more surprised. In the end, her small mouth was about to open to the size of an egg. Seeing her expression, Pei Jingzhou smiled dotingly. Are you surprised? Im very surprised. A little surprise was not enough to express her current mood. As Pei Jingzhou had said, she was very surprised. He really knew her better than she thought! Li You, do you know how long weve known each other? Pei Jingzhou suddenly asked her. Li You had not calculated how long they had known each other. When she heard Pei Jingzhous question, she did some calculations. Before she could calculate the time, Pei Jingzhou told her, I met you when 1 was seven. Im 22 today. Li You, weve known each other for 15 years. As Pei Jingzhou finished speaking, Li You calculated that it had been exactly 15 years. Yes, it had been fifteen years since they were childhood sweethearts, boyfriend and girlfriend, and now, they had already decided on each other. They were just short of entering the marriage hall. Pei Jingzhou opened the car door and turned to look at her with a smile. Five years is enough for me to completely understand you, let alone fifteen years. I summarized you as everything to me a long time ago and included you in my future plan. Time can testify. No matter what you like or dont like, I know everything about you.. Chapter 465 - Chapter 465: Sweet Happiness (8) Chapter 465: Sweet Happiness (8) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou opened the passenger door. Li You knew that he had agreed to take her to see her new house!! She took two steps forward. She was in no hurry to get into the ca_r. Instead, she asked him, Then tell me, what do 1 like best? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and replied without thinking. Friday. Li You pouted. Thats all in the past. I dont like Fridays now. Really? He laughed softly. l remember you used to like Friday best. You even said that if you were free to change your name one day, you must change it to Li Friday. Li You stomped her feet. Dont mention my dark history. Who calls me such a silly name? Even if you want to name me something similar to Friday, you have to give me a more beautiful name, okay?! Pei Jingzhou said meaningfully, Li Friday. Yes, it does sound like a strange name. Li You snorted. That goes without saying. Pei Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, Im afraid its not easy to think about a beautiful one. It has to be a name with an accent that matches a portion of it, and it doesnt sound strange. Get in the car first and well think about it slowly. Li You was ecstatic. She bent to get into the car. She thought of something and stood up straight again. She turned to Pei Jingzhou and said, Theres a bug in your words just now. Friday has long gone behind the list of favorites. Youre my favorite. With that, she gave him a wink and got into the car. Pei Jingzhou smiled dotingly. He closed the car door and walked around the front of the car to get in from the other side. Ten minutes later, the car arrived at Lake Lu. Li You lowered the window and looked up at the building in front of her. Is this called Lake Lu? Pei Jingzhou slowed down and entered the district. He turned the steering wheel with one hand and answered, Yes, Lake Lu. Li You turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. By the way, I havent asked you when you bought this house. Pei Jingzhou said, The year before last. The year before last I thought this area looked a little familiar. These buildings werent built the year before last, were they? she asked. Pei Jingzhou nodded and said, It was approved in the middle of the year before last. It was also then that I included the new house in the wedding plan. Li You said in a clipped voice, Hmph, seriously, you didnt even tell me. Although you know my preferences, you should let me know in advance. Then I can participate in this renovation plan. By then the car had pulled into the garage, stopped, and turned off the engine. Pei Jingzhou unbuckled his seatbelt and turned his head. You can participate in the furniture arrangements. Li You raised her hand. Oh yeah! Pei Jingzhou said to her, Like a child. Li You unbuckled her seatbelt and placed her hand on the door. If Im a child, prepare to start in three years. Pei Jingzhou couldnt help but laugh. He got out of the car and walked around to hold her hand. Lets go, child. Lets see our new future home. Li Yous left hand was held by him, and her right hand reached out to hold his arm. She coughed twice and corrected him. What future? Its clearly our new home now. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Could it be because its my birthday today? Your lips seem to have been smeared with honey from beginning to end today. Li You grinned. Sweet, right? Pei Jingzhou said, Its so sweet. They took the elevator upstairs. The door lock was a fingerprint lock with a password lock. Pei Jingzhou recorded a fingerprint lock for Li You before bringing her in. The lights were all on. The 300-square-meter condo looked very empty for the time being because there was no furniture yet. Some of the main household appliances had been installed, but there was no television or washing machine. It was hot in summer, so Pei Jingzhou turned on the air conditioner. Li You went to the master bedroom. There was indeed nothing there. The cloakroom next door was still being measured. Pei Jingzhou leaned against the door frame and looked at her. What style do you like for the wedding bed? Li You had just come out of the cloakroom. When she heard Pei Jingzhous question, she replied without thinking, One that doesnt shake that vigorously. Pei Jingzhou looked shocked. It probably hadnt occurred to him that she could say such words at will when he asked a serious question. Li You was quite brave. After saying that, especially when she saw the shock on Pei Jingzhous face, she felt that she had sinned. What I mean is She explained seriously, You have to sleep on the bed every day. In order to ensure good sleep quality, it has to be stable. If you can hear the creaking when you turn over, it will disturb your sleep, right? Not to mention Pei Jingzhou, she couldnt bear to hear this explanation herself. Thats ridiculous. What year was it? How poor must she be to have a bed that creaked when she turned over? Pei Jingzhou beckoned her over, and Li You walked closer. After the shock on Pei Jingzhous face passed, he was expressionless. He said, Say what you just said again. Li You shook her head. l wont say. Pei Jingzhou said, How big of a commotion can you make when you turn over and make the bed creak? Li You glared at him angrily. You havent slept with me before. How do you know if I made a lot of noise when I turned over? As soon as she said it, she regretted it. She bit her tongue lightly, annoyed with herself for speaking without thinking. Oh, 1 havent slept with you before, so 1 didnt know you could make so much noise by turning over. The amusement in his tone was obvious. Li You ignored him and walked past him. Noticing the bag Pei Jingzhou had placed there, she pointed at it and said, Ive seen the wedding room.lll accompany you to open the gifts now. After youre done, go home. Pei Jingzhou walked over. Alright. He squatted down and took out all the gifts from the bag. He was very careful, afraid that there would be fragile items inside. Because there were no sofas, chairs, or stools, Li You squatted down. Open it. I wont make a sound beside you. 1 guarantee that every gift you open will have a surprise. Pei Jingzhou looked up at her. Your return was a surprise. How nice that sounded. But he just didnt know what to do. Li You was a little distressed. She thought that Pei Jingzhou probably did not intend to touch her before they got married. Pei Jingzhou did not seem to understand the hint she had blurted out at the MO residence. If he really understood, would he really ask her to say it again?? How could she say that again? Pei Jingzhou opened the gift with the fountain pen. Li You saw his reaction and asked softly, Do you like it? Pei Jingzhou unscrewed the cap of the fountain pen and realized that there were words engraved inside. At a glance, he could tell that they were his and her initials. He carefully put the fountain pen away and placed it back in the box. This series of actions showed that not only did he like it, but he also cherished it. He put it away before answering her. l like it very much. Li You folded her hands in her lap and rested her chin on her arms. l was thinking that you would have a lot of contracts to sign in the future, so I gave you a special fountain pen that you can carry around with you.. Look at how much I care, right? Chapter 466 - Chapter 466: Sweet Happiness (9) Chapter 466: Sweet Happiness (9) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou held the fountain pen and rubbed it gently with his fingers, clearly cherishing it. Youre the one whos considerate. Li You chuckled. Of course. Hurry up and open the next one. Pei Jingzhou put the fountain pen aside and unwrapped the album. His careful movements were afraid that he would spoil the album. Li You was originally smiling, but as she smiled, the tip of her nose turned sour. The photo album collection is made of cowhide. Go ahead and flip through it. It wont break. Pei Jingzhou did not listen to her. He still held it carefully and gently. He flipped through the pages. Almost every photo had an endless history. Li You was too good at talking, and Pei Jingzhou was very patient to listen to her. Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Afraid that she would be late, Li You urged Pei Jingzhou to put the album aside and quickly open the next gift. The next gift was the most expensive watch among these. Before he opened the box, Pei Jingzhou knew what it was. Because he often wore Patek Philippe watches, he had a deep impression of the logo, He was in no hurry to open it. Have you spent all the money? he asked her. Li You shook her head. No, Im a rich girl. I have a lot of money. Pei Jingzhou said, Continue to act tough. Im not trying to act tough. How much can a mere watch cost? Its only one-tenth of my allowance! Her tone was quite exaggerated. Pei Jingzhou couldnt help but laugh when he heard that. He opened the packaging in front of Li You. After looking at it, he said in front of her, If 1 1 m not wrong, this watch should start at seven figures. Li You pursed her lips. Pei Jingzhou said, Alright, I wont expose you. Li You pouted. Hmph. He removed the other Patek Philippe watch from his wrist and placed it casually aside. He took out the watch from the packaging and handed it to Li You. Help me put it on. Li You was happy to oblige. She took the watch and quickly put it on Pei Jingzhou. Then, she praised, It looks good on your wrist. Pei Jingzhou raised his wrist. You have good taste. These words were pleasant to hear! The corners of Li Yous mouth almost reached the back of her head. The last gift was a scarf that Li You had knitted herself. Pei Jingzhou was very surprised. Because he was sure that she had knitted it, he would not ask if she had knitted it. He unfolded the scarf and looked at it carefully. Then he looked up at her and said, Its well knitted. Li You bit her lip and whispered, Why didnt you ask if I knitted this? Pei Jingzhou said, You wont buy a ready-made scarf as a birthday gift. Its obvious that you knitted it yourself. You do know me. She smiled happily. l learned this needlework from my mother. My mother said that its amazing to know how to knit one. As long as you learn this well and knit the finished product, you can graduate. I tried many times. In the end, the one youre holding is the finished product of my graduation. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. No wonder its so exquisite. Li You really felt that Pei Jingzhou was too eloquent. She liked every word. She held out her hand. Here, let me help you put it on. However, Pei Jingzhou did not give it to her. He folded the scarf and put it away. Theres still one last gift to open. Theres no hurry. Let me open the last gift first. Li You looked confused. There are no more gifts. She even looked into the bag. The gifts I prepared for you this time are all here, except for the ring 1 gave you in advance this morning. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Its indeed all here, but theres still the most complete one that wasnt unwrapped. This time, it was Li Yous turn to be slow. What else? Is there a surprise in the wedding room? But shed looked around just now and hadnt found anything special. Just as she was wondering, Pei Jingzhou placed all the gifts in the bag. He pointed in the direction of the other guest bedroom. In there. When Li You saw this, her curiosity soared. She went over without waiting for Pei Jingzhou. She had not entered this guest bedroom just now. When she pushed the door open, she realized that there was a bed inside. There was a blanket, a sound-absorbing carpet, and curtains. It was very warm. It must have been decorated in advance, and it must have been done not long in advance. Could it be yesterday? Just as Li You was wondering, the door behind her suddenly closed and locked. Li You turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou turn around. Pei Jingzhou Her heart was beating like a drum and her entire body was tense. Vaguely, she seemed to know something. This big gray wolf was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. He was pretending to be so Pei Jingzhou walked towards him step by step. Do you like it? Li You pretended to be arrogant. Just barely. Pei Jingzhou walked up to her and began to unbutton his shirt. Li You was embarrassed and looked away. He unbuttoned only two buttons. It was a last-minute preparation. Last night, you said you wanted me to put my efforts to good use in other areas too. I know Li You couldnt stand it anymore. She covered his mouth. Stop talking! He took her hand and bent to kiss it. l know all about it, he said in a slightly hoarse voice. Although Im not sure this moment will be brought forward, I still listened to you and prepared it. Its here, in our wedding room. Li Yous heart skipped a beat. She tried to steady her breathing. But this is a guest bedroom. Pei Jingzhou grabbed her chin and lowered his head to kiss her. The bed in the master bedroom is still custom-made in France. It wont be back so soon. As long as this is the wedding house. If you want to go to that room, Ill carry you there later. Li You gathered her courage and asked, How? Pei Jingzhou lifted her up with both hands. Li You was shocked and instinctively wrapped her arms around Pei Jingzhous neck. His strong arms supported her hips. Is it okay to hug you like this? Li Yous ears were so red that they could almost bleed. Pei Jingzhou leaned closer and bit her earlobe. Now, youre the last gift. I want to open it myself. Li You could barely remember how it had happened in the beginning. She only knew that it was a long time. Until the dense forest was decorated with white dew in the morning, she fell asleep.. Chapter 467 - Chapter 467: Sweet Happiness (10) Chapter 467: Sweet Happiness (10) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You woke up very late. She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. Her mind was so blank that she couldnt remember what had happened last night for the time being. She thought shed just woken up from a nap. But for some reason, she was tired from the sleep. It was as if her entire body was filled with lead and she was carrying two hundred pounds across the entire desert. When she braced herself against the bed, ready to get up, the pain shooting through her body made her gasp. Hiss The thin blanket slid off her body. She looked down at her body. Her originally delicate skin was mottled. For a moment, memories poured into her mind like the Milky Way. Images of what had happened last night came back to her one after another. Last night Last night, she and Pei Jingzhou She turned to look at her side, but Pei Jingzhou was nowhere to be seen. However, the mess on the bed indicated what had happened last night. She and Pei Jingzhou were really together last night. But what about Pei Jingzhou? Why was he nowhere to be seen? If not for some of the images from last night intermittently appearing in her mind and some discomfort coming from her body, she would probably have thought she was dreaming. She wrapped herself in the thin blanket and got out of bed. The moment her feet touched the ground, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down. She cursed Pei Jingzhou 10,000 times in her heart and began to look for clothes. Pei Jingzhou folded her clothes and placed them at the end of the bed. Li You supported the thin blanket on her body with one hand and lifted her top and spaghetti strap skirt with the other. The top was wrinkled, and the skirt was torn a little. It was completely unwearable. She threw the clothes aside and continued to search for her cell phone beside the clothes. In the end, she couldnt find it after searching for a long time. She began to feel a little frustrated. The bedroom door opened, but Li You was so frustrated that she did not hear the door open. Until Pei Jingzhou approached her and asked her softly, What are you looking for? Li You was shocked and quickly turned around. As she turned around, the thin blanket that was wrapped around her suddenly slipped off. Li You tried her best but could not catch it in time. At this moment, time seemed to stand still. After about three or four seconds, Li You opened her mouth and screamed, Ahoh! ! Before she could completely cry out, Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and pinched both her cheeks. Her cries turned into a muffled oh. At the same time, Pei Jingzhou put down the bag he had brought in and quickly picked up the thin blanket to cover her body. He knew she was embarrassed. Li You quickly covered it. Because she was too anxious, she even stopped Pei Jingzhous hand from retracting. His palm was covering her chest. She was not pretentious. Anyway, what should have happened had happened. However, she was still angry that he had gone missing so early in the morning. She opened her mouth and bit Pei Jingzhous hand. She bit him a little too hard, but Pei Jingzhou did not even frown. Li You gritted her teeth. He leaned closer. She thought he was angry and ready to reason with her. Instead Im thick-skinned. Arent your teeth tired? You should bite more. I dont feel anything if you bite so little. Were you looking for me when you woke up? I had your clothes sent over. I went out to get them just now and watched over you until nine-thirty. I didnt expect you to wake up in the few minutes Ive been out. Can you believe it? I didnt leave. I was always here. She nodded. He asked again, Does it still hurt? The first few sentences were all coaxing and explaining. The last sentence made Li Yous face burn. She immediately relented and stomped her feet. Aiyo, dont ask this now! Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips. Im worried. Li You felt even more embarrassed. You dont have to say it. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Got it. Li You:? Pei Jingzhou walked forward and leaned over slightly, his lips close to her ear. One second, she was wondering what he was doing, and the next, she heard him say in her ear word for word, Does it still hurt? Li You bit her lip, feeling extremely embarrassed. But since he had asked so softly, there was no reason for her not to answer. She said, A little. Pei Jingzhou!s lips were still on hers. Sorry. Li You felt an itch at the edge of her ear. The strange feeling overlapped with some of the images from last night. Her entire body was tense, and her expression was unnatural compared to before. You dont have to apologize. It should be, its its a normal phenomenon. She felt that it should be a normal phenomenon. After all, she had never experienced it before. But on second thought, even if she had never eaten pork before, it was impossible that she had never seen a pig run. She probably knew something, so it must be normal. It was just that it hurt quite seriously. Looking at the refreshed man in front of her, she suddenly felt that it didnt hurt so much. How good was that? She had finally completed this very important matter with him. Recalling that she had bitten Pei Jingzhous hand just now, she quickly lowered her head to take a look. Between his thumb and index finger, there was a row of shallow teeth marks. It was her masterpiece. She looked at the ground again. It was the bag that Pei Jingzhou had thrown away in a hurry. The fabric that had scattered was light green. It should be her new dress. She bent down to pick it up, but the thin blanket on her body was really disobedient. Of course, she wouldnt admit that she couldnt grab it, so when she bent down, the thin blanket slid down happily. Pei Jingzhou pulled her over. She exclaimed and bumped into his arms. His strong arm lifted the thin blanket and wrapped it around her. Then, he bent down and picked up the bag on the ground. Change into it first. Ill wait for you outside. She took the bag and stammered, Last night Pei Jingzhou was very straightforward. The experience last night was wonderful. Li You instantly blushed. I mean last night you were so violent that you tore my skirt. Pei Jingzhou nodded slightly and said with a serious expression, Oh, Ill pay attention to this problem in the future. Li Yous face turned even redder. She pushed him. Get out, get out, get out. Pei Jingzhou was pushed to the door by her. Li You felt that he wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she would feel even more embarrassed. After struggling for two seconds, she asked, What do you want to say? Pei Jingzhous words were no longer as serious and direct as before. I helped you apply the medicine. Li You: She regretted it. She should have just closed the door. At this moment, her cheeks were as red as cooked crabs. This time, she closed the door without hesitation and hurried to change. Pei Jingzhou stood at the door and looked at the closed door with a smile. Li You put on the dress that Pei Jingzhou had prepared. It was very fitting. He knew her three sizes, knew the style she liked, and the dress hed prepared was very satisfactory. She went to the bathroom to wash her face. Without makeup, she could only go out with her bare face. Looking at herself in the mirror, she realized that her complexion was quite good, as if she was very nourished after plucking yang to nourish her yin. After tidying up briefly, she came out of the bedroom. Pei Jingzhou was waiting for her outside. When he saw her come out, he said, The dress suits you. Li You walked to his side. Of course. Why dont you take a look at who chose it? Its suitable everywhere. Pei Jingzhou said, It means that I have good taste.. Chapter 468 - Chapter 468: Past in Country T (1) Chapter 468: Past in Country T (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations You know me too well. I like the dress you prepared for me, too, but She pointed a finger at him, her small expression slightly serious. Youre not allowed to tear my skirt again. I like that skirt very much. Hearing Li Yous words, Pei Jingzhou felt even more guilty. Why dont I buy one and return it to you? Li You shook her head. Thats different. Pei Jingzhou asked, Not even the exact same? Li You insisted on being unreasonable. Thats different. She wanted to see how the usually calm Pei Jingzhou would deal with this matter. In the end, he did not say anything else and walked past her into the bedroom. Just as she was wondering what he was going to do, Pei Jingzhou came out with her skirt. Li You asked, What are you doing? Since you want the original, and you wont accept an exact same one, Ill wash this dress and sew it up again where it was torn. I promise itll be exactly the same again. He sounded so serious when he said this. At this moment, it seemed important to him. He didnt seem to think she was being unreasonable at all. Li You was caught between laughter and tears. You try your best to satisfy all my requirements. Dont you think Im being unreasonable, Pei Jingzhou? Pei Jingzhou looked at her. l know. He knows? She was slightly stunned. You know Im being unreasonable? l do, he repeated, in the same tone as before. She asked, Then why are you still so cooperative when Im being unreasonable? Pei Jingzhou pulled her over and held her hand tightly. I indulged you. Of course I have to cooperate. With that, he led her to the door, the bag containing his birthday gifts in his other hand. Li You was immersed in what he had just said. She was delighted. She looked in the direction and immediately asked him, Are we leaving? Pei Jingzhou said, l have to take you to the airport. Your flight leaves at eleven-thirty. When Li You heard that Pei Jingzhou was sending her to the airport, her face fell. Arent you going to keep me? Pei Jingzhou stopped in his tracks. She stopped, too, and raised her face to his. Pei Jingzhou pondered for a moment and reminded her, You have a few exams ahead of you. You havent had time to revise yet. Theres still time to go back and revise. Im not in the mood to study right now, she said. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Why arent you in the mood to study? Li You cleared her throat. 1 want to stay with you. Pei Jingzhou was silent. The next second, Li You retracted her hand from Pei Jingzhous. Forget it. Its not like I have to stay with you. Anyway, I can pass the exam even without revising. You dont have to worry. She threw a tantrum and started to walk away. Pei Jingzhou pulled her back and she said, What? Pei Jingzhou said, Continue staying here tonight. Li You immediately restrained her temper. I-I-I I mean, I want to be with you. I cant bear to leave you. If she continued to stay here today, she would not be very resistant. She was just afraid that the consequences of not controlling herself would be that she would recover for a few days. To be honest, she was looking forward to it. But she didnt show it. Pei Jingzhou smiled silently. He knew that she was a little afraid and that last night had been a little too ruthless, so he did not say anything else. But since she didnt want to leave, he took out his phone. Ill change your flight. Li You nodded. Okay, okay. She waited patiently for Pei Jingzhou to change the flight to tomorrow morning because it would take nearly four hours for the flight to reach Country T. It was already dark when the afternoon flight arrived, even though it was an hour later in Country T than in the capital. He didnt want it to be dark before she rushed back to Country T. After changing the flight time, he put away his phone and led her away from the house in Lake Lu. Li You did not walk very quickly, but she was very strong-willed not to let Pei Jingzhou carry her down. They walked slowly along the way, and Pei Jingzhou slowed down along with her. In the car, Li You asked a more worried question. That guest bedroom wasnt even cleaned up. It was a mess. That bedsheet clearly needed special treatment. Pei Jingzhou told her not to worry. Ill handle it. Li You asked, Youll handle it yourself? Pei Jingzhou laughed and asked, What else? Li You was in a daze for a moment. She suddenly realized that Pei Jingzhou had been smiling since she woke up this morning. She rested her elbows on the armrest box and rested her chin on her palms as she looked at him. Its worth your birthday this time, isnt it? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and changed the topic. Do you need me to help you revise and do the questions? If you change the flight time, my time will be free. I happen to have time. Just talk. Why bring up revision when youre talking? How disappointing. She quickly ended the conversation. Dont worry, Ill pass. Pei Jingzhou asked, Is university as good as you think? At the mention of this, Li You sighed. Its as good as I imagined, but its not especially good. There are quite a lot of exams, although theyre all voluntary. Did you know that my father instructed me to pass at least six languages? Im almost tongue-tied from learning all kinds of languages alternately every day. Pei Jingzhou said, Uncle knows eight languages. Yes, its terrifying. Moreover, my father speaks the eight languages very well. Theres no pressure to switch between minute and second. As she spoke, she couldnt help but sigh. My father also said that as long as I have four languages to switch between without pressure like him, its good enough. Hmph, underestimate me. Pei Jingzhou laughed. Youve been there for two years. Do you speak the language there now? Say what? Say Sawatdee Ka? She said this with a hoarse voice. At first glance, it really sounded like a Thai accent. Li You shared many interesting things with Pei Jingzhou. They were all recent because he knew all about them. On the way to breakfast, Pei Jingzhous smile did not stop. Guan Suling knew that Li You had not returned last night and had not left this morning. She called and asked worriedly. When she found out that Li You was by Pei Jingzhous side, she was a little relieved. After comforting her grandmother, Pei Jingzhou brought Li You back to the Pei residence. However, his luck was not too good. Han Qianye was not at home and went to Haojiang with Pei Qingjie. Pei Jiao was overseas at this time, so only Pei Youan was at home. Pei Youan was playing games in his room and did not know that his brother had brought his sister-in-law back. When he came out, he only saw Li You from afar. He had probably not seen her for too long and had almost forgotten who she was. He asked the old servant beside him, Whos that woman? The old servant replied, Its the future Young Madam. Pei Youan nodded. l cant imagine my brother getting married at such a young age. The servant was an old servant and knew about Pei Jingzhou and Li You. She smiled and said, Young Master has been with her for a long time. Pei Youan was still a kid at this moment. He seemed to understand. Then they must be very in love, right? Of course. Young Master and she are the most compatible childhood sweethearts Ive ever met.. Chapter 469 - Chapter 469: Past in Country T (2) Chapter 469: Past in Country T (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You had only come back for two days. Because she did not want to go to Country T so soon, Pei Jingzhou helped her change her flight and postpone it by a day. However, there would be a second time once she changed her flight once. At this moment, Li You kept urging Pei Jingzhou, Extend it for another day, just one day, okay? Pei Jingzhou did not take his cell phone for a long time. He said, Ive already changed it once. One more time wont hurt, she mutters. He said, Ill go to Country T with you. But I just want to stay in the capital with you. She took his arm and wheedled. In the past two days, she had acted coquettishly very often. There was an unreasonable coquettishness, and there was also a natural coquettishness. It was probably because girls would have a sensitive period after that night. She liked to stick to her boyfriend, like to wheedle, and like to be with him all the time. The thought of being separated made her so sad. For example, she had been in a bad mood since she heard Pei Jingzhou remind her of the flight tomorrow morning. She kept urging him to help her change her flight again. She could change the flight herself, of course, but shed be happier if Pei Zhou kept her too. What about your studies? Pei Jingzhou asked her. Li You blurted out, School is not as important as you! With that, Li You was stunned for a moment. Then, under Pei Jingzhous gaze, she sighed. Its over. I have a love brain. Pei Jingzhou couldnt help but laugh. Then what should we do? l dont know what to do either. I guess thats all I can do. After all, the love brain is in the brain. It cant be dug out. If I dig it out, the love brain will be gone, and so will l She said it so seriously. Pei Jingzhou laughed uncontrollably. Li You hugged his arm and continued to shake it. Theres more. I havent seen Uncle and Auntie yesterday. I want to stay for another day to see them. Pei Jingzhou calculated the time and frowned. They wont be back for another two days. Its not tomorrow. Li You nodded. Okay. Pei Jingzhou looked at her disappointed expression and finally agreed. Then postpone it for another day. This is the last time. Ill send you back the day after tomorrow. As Pei Jingzhou agreed, the smile on Li Yous face instantly lit up. She tiptoed and kissed Pei Jingzhou!s chin. l knew you were the best. What if his girlfriend was delicate and soft? Of course, he would continue to dote on her. On the fourth day, Li You bade farewell to her grandmother reluctantly. Accompanied by Pei Jingzhou, she boarded a flight to Country T. At night, MO Zhu prepared a large table of dishes. Although Pei Jingzhou had been to Country T so many times in a year, he rarely ate at Li Yous house. Most of the time, he would fly at night and stay in a hotel that he had booked for an entire year. He would accompany Li You for half a day in the day and return to the capital in the afternoon. Tonight, with Pei Jingzhous arrival, the atmosphere was a little strange. There were some things that no one said, but they seemed to be so harmonious and had an unspoken mutual understanding. However, the moment Pei Jingzhou sat down at the dining table, Li Huaisheng suddenly stood up. As Li Huaisheng stood up, Li You, Pei Jingzhou, and MO Zhu, who came out with the last dish, looked at Li Huaisheng, who suddenly stood up with a straight face. Li You swallowed, feeling a little flustered. She reached out and grabbed the hem of her fathers shirt, tugging gently. Dad? she called. MO Zhu placed the last dish on the table and asked Li Huaisheng, Why are you so shocked? Although Pei Jingzhou looked very calm, he was actually a little nervous. Li Huaisheng did not answer anyone. He left the dining table and went to the next room. Seeing that her father had left without saying anything, Li You asked her mother nervously, What happened to Dad? MO Zhu coughed lightly. Im not sure. Li You turned to comfort Pei Jingzhou. My father isnt usually like this Halfway through the sentence, she felt that something was wrong. She said again, My father must have encountered something troubling him today, so hes not in a good mood. Hes never like this. Pei Jingzhou nodded. l know. Uncle has racked his brains in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs all these years and made many outstanding results. Its inevitable that he will have a headache because of some cumbersome matters. Li Huaisheng, who had gone to the next room to get a bottle of baijiu,happened to hear Pei Jingzhous words. Li Huaisheng snorted. This kid does have a way with words. In the past, Li Huaisheng always called him Little Peo, Today, he had changed the way he addressed him and called him a kid. Pei Jingzhou knew why. At this moment, Li You and Pei Jingzhou turned around. Li Huaisheng walked over with a bottle of baijiu. MO Zhu glanced sideways and her gaze landed on the bottle of baijiu in Li Huaishengs hand. She said with a smile, You brought this bottle of Jiannan Chun here and couldnt bear to take it out to drink for so long. So its to treat our son-in-law today. Li Huaisheng corrected her. What son-in-law? Hes only my future son-in-law for now! Its too early to say. MO Zhu said, Its only a matter of time. Why cant I say it early? Li Huaisheng did not forcefully correct her and snorted. Li You smiled secretly and turned to Pei Jingzhou. Did you hear that, future son-in-law? Pei Jingzhou replied obediently, Yes. Li You couldnt help but tease, Pei Jingzhou, youre so obedient now. Youre like a primary school student. Just as she finished speaking, she heard Li Huaisheng cough heavily. Ahem! Pei Jingzhou immediately sat upright. Li You was the same. She immediately straightened her back and sat upright like Pei Jingzhou. Li Huaisheng placed the bottle of Jiannan Chun on the table and sat down. l usually have the habit of drinking. Boy, how about drinking with me? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Ill gladly accept. He did not even ask if Pei Jingzhou knew how to drink or how good his alcohol tolerance was. He just asked Pei Jingzhou to drink with him. The meaning was obvious. Since Pei Jingzhou was so straightforward, Li Huaisheng was about to pour the wine. Seeing that there were no glasses, he remembered that he had only been focused on getting the wine and did not take the glasses. He pretended to get up again. At this moment, MO Zhu had already placed two glasses in front of Li Huaisheng. You dont prepare glasses when you drink. You havent drunk for too long and have basically forgotten. Li Huaisheng felt embarrassed and whispered, Save me some face. MO Zhu smiled and said, Ill save it for you. If you drink more, Im afraid you wont be able to keep it. Li Huaisheng: Actually, Li Huaishengs alcohol tolerance was not very good. All these years in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he had relied on his strength to reach his current position. He rarely participated in fawning cocktail parties. Firstly, it was because his alcohol tolerance was not good, and secondly, it was because he disdained to attend colluding dinners. Therefore, his reputation in the industry had been extremely high all these years. Although he was a noob when it came to drinking, he would occasionally take a sip. It was considered pleasurable. Li Huaisheng felt a little heartache when he took out this bottle of Jiannan Chun, but he only had one daughter. After a few seconds of heartache, he finally took out this bottle of precious Jiannan Chun. Li Huaisheng poured Pei Jingzhou half a cup and said in a chatty tone, Have you ever drunk baijiu? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Ive drank some at dinner occasionally. I dont usually drink. Li Huaisheng smiled and raised his hand to signal Pei Jingzhou to take the wine. He said, This is called Jiannan Chun. Pei Jingzhou took the glass of baijiu and said, Jiannan Chun is a traditional wine. Its the representative of our Chinese baijiu.. Chapter 470 - Chapter 470: Past in Country T (3) Chapter 470: Past in Country T (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Huaisheng was quite satisfied to see that Pei Jingzhou was so sensible. Of course, he was satisfied with Pei Jingzhou not only at this moment. He had always been quite satisfied with Pei Jingzhou. After all, Pei Jingzhou was outstanding in all aspects. Most importantly, Pei Jingzhou treated his daughter well. This was very important and made Li Huaisheng very happy. However, just being satisfied was not enough. He still had to test Pei Jingzhou, just like how he was tested by Old Master MO before he married MO Zhu. He naturally could not let his son-on-law miss out on this experience after what he had experienced. After Pei Jingzhou took the glass of wine, Li Huaisheng said, You know this Jiannan Chun quite well. Continue. Pei Jingzhou did not drink it. He held it and answered calmly, talking about the origins of Jiannan Chun. His concise words described Jian Nanchuns origin and taste. Li Huaisheng agreed with Pei Jingzhous last two sentences. Thats right. The fragrance of Jiannan Chuns wine is indeed strong. My alcohol tolerance is not bad, but 1 like Jiannan Chun. Li Huaisheng was expressing his love for Jiannan Chun. He almost accidentally revealed the fact that he couldnt hold his liquor well. However, to Pei Jingzhou, the other meaning was more important. The other meaning was that Li Huaisheng liked Jiannan Chun very much, so after he returned this time, he would collect a few bottles of treasure and send them to Li Huaisheng. He thought of his fathers wine cellar. There was a lot of famous wine there that had disappeared from the market. There was also rare Dewars, which was especially precious. It seemed that he had to go to the wine cellar this time. Pei Jingzhou made up his mind and said to Li Huaisheng, Ill prepare it when I get back. Li Huaisheng was slightly stunned. Prepare what? For a moment, Pei Jingzhou thought that he had misinterpreted it, but he thought that even if he had misinterpreted it, since his uncle had mentioned his hobby, he could make his uncle happier if he was prepared to send it over. Li You whispered from the side, Dad, hes preparing Jiannan Chun for you. Oh? Thats not necessary. My alcohol tolerance is not He almost let it slip. Li Huaisheng had never been like this outside. He sighed inwardly. Indeed, he had long treated this kid as family. Li Huaisheng cleared his throat. You dont have to send it. Im usually busy with work, so I dont drink much. With that, Li Huaisheng looked at the wine glass in Pei Jingzhous hand. Pei Jingzhou understood and moved his hand over. Uncle, let me toast you. After Li Huaisheng picked up the cup, Pei Jingzhou lowered the cup under Li Huaishengs cup. Li Huaisheng only needed to drink a little to express his gratitude. Pei Jingzhou was toasting, so he had to finish it in one cup. As soon as the cup returned to the table, Li Huaisheng poured Pei Jingzhou another cup. This time, it was full, not half of the previous cup. How does it taste? Pei Jingzhou said, The texture is mellow and slightly sweet. Its as described, the grain fragrance is rich, but its a little strong. Li Huaisheng snorted. Strong? It was indeed strong, but Pei Jingzhou realized that he shouldnt say it. Saying this word meant that he had low acceptance, so he changed his words. Its sweet and comfortable. The aftertaste is long. Li Huaisheng was satisfied with this excuse. Not many people can drink my wine. Youre in luck. Its not easy to get drunk with Jiannan Chun. You dont have to worry about feeling unwell tomorrow. Come, drink this glass. No matter how many glasses Li Huaisheng poured for Pei Jingzhou, Pei Jingzhou would drink them all. Li You wanted to persuade them, but Pei Jingzhou kept holding her hand under the table. It was obvious that he did not want her to persuade him. She watched as Pei Jingzhou drank until his face turned red. Li Huaisheng knew his limits and did not keep letting Pei Jingzhou drink. He still had to eat when he should eat, in case it hurt his stomach if he kept drinking without food in his stomach. The bottle of wine was finished. The scene Li Huaisheng wanted to see did not happen. He wanted to see Pei Jingzhou lying on the table drunk. He would take advantage of Pei Jingzhous last moment to get information. This was already a chance to speak the truth after drinking. It was too rare. In the end, Pei Jingzhou did not fall down in the end. Other than his face and ears turning red, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be still awake. Li Huaishengs cheeks were also a little red. He burped. Good kid, you can hold your liquor well. Pei Jingzhou frowned. When the burp dissipated, he said, Uncle, you let me win. Li Huaisheng smiled. Ive indeed let you win. Youve impressed me. MO Zhu walked to Li Huaishengs side. You can sleep on the sofa tonight. Li Huaisheng said, But of course you have to sleep on the sofa. I dont care what you do outside. Youre at my house. Before you get married, you have to sleep separately. Pei Jingzhou was about to respond when MO Zhu pushed Li Huaishengs shoulder. l mean you. You smell like alcohol. I cant smell it. With that, MO Zhu turned around and went to the kitchen to cook hangover soup. Li Huaisheng quickly got up and followed her. l didnt drink much. Ill go out for a walk later. The smell of alcohol will disappear. No way. Ill disperse it right away. Sit down! With your alcohol tolerance, three glasses is enough. Im worried that youll go out and fall asleep in flower bed. I still have to come out to look for you later. l wont drink it next time. Go, go, go. MO Zhu pushed Li Huaisheng away, not letting him get close. However, Li Huaisheng insisted on standing there shamelessly. At this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, the calm, elegant, and amiable Uncle Li was like a child in front of his wife when he was drunk. The contrast was too strong. Li You laughed when she saw this. Li You. When she heard Pei Jingzhou call her name, she turned around. Whats wrong? Pei Jingzhous eyes were very cool when he was drunk, as if they were filled with dew. His usual coldness was very different. Li You had never seen Pei Jingzhou drunk before. She did not expect him to be drunk by her father today. She moved closer to Pei Jingzhou and closed the distance between them. Why did you call me? Pei Jingzhous lips were very red. He opened his mouth and said, Nothing. I just wanted to call you. Li You was amused. Then call me again. Pei Jingzhou obediently called out again, Li You. Li You said, l still want to hear it. Pei Jingzhou: Li You, Li You, Li You, Li You He called her name many times, so many that Li You did not count them. Although Pei Jingzhou usually sounded good when he called her name, now that he was drunk, it sounded different. He called out several times before she responded. He said, Im not happy. Li You suppressed a smile. Then what should we do? Pei Jingzhous clear eyes stared at her. Gradually, his eyes became deep. Li You thought he would say something overbearing, but she heard his pitiful voice say a word. Kiss Li You did not want to miss this moment. She quickly took out her phone and said to Pei Jingzhou, What did you just say? Pei Jingzhou reached out and pushed her phone away. He leaned over and rested his chin on her shoulder. He said in a low voice, Kiss me.. Chapter 471 - Chapter 471: Past in Country T (4) Chapter 471: Past in Country T (4) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You laughed hysterically. She had never seen such a cute side of Pei Jingzhou. It was probably because she had never seen him drink like this before. She leaned closer and her nose brushed past the overly strong wine fragrance on his body. She raised her hand and patted his shoulder. My parents are over there. Can we kiss when they cant see later? Pei Jingzhou said, No. He raised his head and looked at her steadily with his clear eyes. You have to kiss me now. Li You secretly turned on the recording. Since Pei Jingzhou maintained his last trace of consciousness and did not let her record it, she would record it. After turning on the recording, she coaxed him. Pei Jingzhou, continue stacking words. Pei Jingzhou closed his eyes for a while because of the smell of alcohol. Then, he slowly opened them and looked at her like before. What did you say? Li You repeated what she had just said. l said, continue to stack the words. Pei Jingzhou seemed to be confused. He actually asked her, What do you mean by stacked words? Its like Li You suddenly suspected that he was teasing her, but looking at his eyes, it was obvious that he was not very awake. She turned back to look at the kitchen. Her father was still circling her mother. He probably wouldnt come over for a while. Li You looked away and at Pei Jingzhou. At this moment, his drunken look was quite seductive. It would make people want to bully him, and it would be best if they bullied him to the point of crying. Li You had bad intentions for herself, but after three seconds, she reached out and pinched Pei Jingzhous chin. Pei Jingzhous eyelids were closing. After Li You reached out, he forced himself to open his eyes and look at her. That look made Li Yous heart itch. She couldnt help teasing him. Smile for me. Pei Jingzhou smiled for her to see. He was too obedient when he made this expression. It was as if he would do whatever she asked him to do next. Li Yous heart itched and wanted to take this rare opportunity to tease Pei Jingzhou. Hence, after Pei Jingzhou smiled at her, she shook her head and said, No, your smile is too standard. Smile again for me. Pei Jingzhou tilted his head and asked her, Is the standard bad? He tilted his head! She was going to die! Li You reached out to support his head. Why are you still tilting your head? Dont tilt your head. Dont! Pei Jingzhou asked her, Dont you like it? Li You smiled foolishly. l like it. Pei Jingzhou asked, Then why cant I tilt my head and look at you? The silly smile on Li Yous lips paused for a few seconds. She said seriously, You dont know what kind of looks you have. What kind of looks do I have? he asked again. Li You bit her lip. Looks that can bring disaster to the country and the people. Pei Jingzhou shook his head. Theres no need to wreak havoc on the country. 1 just have to wreak havoc on you. Li Yous expression was very serious. She reminded him, A heart arsonist just needs to have some good looks. Theres no need to be so seductive. Do you like it, then? He asked the same question again, but it already meant two things. Li You felt that she had become the one who was drunk. She was confused by Pei Jingzhous words. The smile on her face was even sillier than before, and her answer was honest. l love it. Then like me a little more. Im yours anyway, he said. Li Yous lips curled into a smile. She poked his chest with her small hand. Youre mine. Pei Jingzhou repeated her words, but he changed the word you to Im yours. So obedient. Li You had no choice but to continue teasing him. She took this opportunity to say, Youre already mine. Then Ill ask you to do something. You should be able to do it, right? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Go ahead. Li You said, Promise me first, that youll do it. Pei Jingzhou said without hesitation, l will. Li You said, Call me sister. Pei Jingzhou was silent. Didnt you say you would do it? Why did you fall silent when I asked you to call me sister? She suppressed the smile that was about to go crazy. Pei Jingzhou remained silent. Li You gently tugged at Pei Jingzhou!s sleeve. Call me. Let me experience what its like to be your sister. She was deliberately playing dirty. Who asked her to have a mature and steady boyfriend? Although he doted on her domineeringly and was equally gentle and careful, her rebellious heart really wanted to experience what it was like to have a relationship with a younger man. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou leaned over and slowly approached Li You. Then, Li You heard Pei Jingzhou said Sister. He called her Sister very softly. It landed softly in her ear. At that moment, Li You felt her bones go soft. So this was what it felt like!! Although shed had an addiction, she didnt think shed had enough. She said again, Call me sister again, okay? Pei Jingzhou said, Sister. Li You was so happy that she bared her teeth and smiled. Good boy. Pei Jingzhou said, Sister. Li You said, Aye, aye, aye. Pei Jingzhou said, Its your turn. Huh? Its my turn? Li You was confused and looked at Pei Jingzhou steadily. Pei Jingzhous thin lips moved as he said unhurriedly, Call me brother. Li You immediately shook her head. That wont do. I just became an elder sister. Well talk about it tomorrow. She was not satisfied yet, so she would not call Pei Jingzhou Brother. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou slowly stood up. Seeing this, Li You asked, Where are you going? Pei Jingzhou said calmly, l should go back to the hotel. Li You immediately stood up. Its already so late. You wont go, will you? My father has agreed to let you spend the night here. Although he said that you should sleep on the sofa, hes drunk. Hell fall asleep later. We can still share a room. Pei Jingzhou rejected her politely. No, Ill leave first. With that, he was about to go to the kitchen to tell his uncle and auntie. Li You tugged at him. Dont leave tonight. Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand. Its not appropriate for me to stay here. How is it inappropriate? Besides, youre drunk She knew that she couldnt send Pei Jingzhou to the hotel. She couldnt stay out all night in Country T. If she sent Pei Jingzhou back, no one would be at ease if she came back alone. Little Pei, are you leaving? MO Zhu, who came over with a plate of fruits, asked. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Yes, Auntie. I should go back. Rest early. MO Zhu asked again, Is your hotel far from here? Pei Jingzhou did not say the exact kilometer. He only said, Not that far. Mo Zhu smiled and said, Its already so late. Just stay for the night. Ill get Little You to send you to the airport tomorrow morning. Pei Jingzhou pretended to hesitate. Is that appropriate? How is it not appropriate? MO Zhu placed the fruit plate on the table and pointed to the room next door. That bedroom is controlled. Take Little Pei to that room to rest later. Li You immediately replied, Okay, Ill take him to rest immediately.. Chapter 472 - Chapter 472: Past in Country T (5) Chapter 472: Past in Country T (5) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations With that, Li You pulled Pei Jingzhous arm. Lets go and rest. Pei Jingzhou was about to follow when MO Zhu coughed lightly to remind him. Ahem! Li You stopped and turned to look at her mother. MO Zhu handed the plate of fruits to Li You. l washed it for you. Eat it. Okay. Li You took the plate of fruits. MO Zhu reminded her, Come out early later. I have something to tell you. Li You obediently replied, Okay, I understand. Then, as quickly as possible, she brought Pei Jingzhou to the bedroom. After bringing Pei Jingzhou to her room, the first thing she did was lock the door, afraid that her parents would suddenly barge in. Although she could not stay for long, she did not want to be disturbed when she was alone with Pei Jingzhou. She set the fruit platter aside. She went over to close the curtains. When she turned around, she saw that Pei Jingzhou had already taken the fruits from the fruit platter and was peeling them. She walked over to him. Do you feel better now? Do you want to go to bed early? Im not very tired. Pei Jingzhou handed the peeled fruit to Li You. Eat it. Li You took it and ate it. As she ate, she asked, Did you know that Country T produces the most mountain bamboo? Pei Jingzhou said, l remember that here, mountain bamboo is another name? Yes! Li You ate the mountain bamboo Pei Jingzhou had peeled for her in a few bites and replied, Its called mangosteen here. Its as famous as durian and can be called a fruit queen. Pei Jingzhou asked, Then do you prefer durians or mangosteens? Li You wanted to answer that she liked to eat mangosteen. She did not have much love for durians, but when she saw Pei Jingzhous gaze, the words on the tip of her tongue changed. She blinked and said, Of course I like to eat you. Pei Jingzhou said sarcastically, Unfortunately, youre not in luck tonight. l was just saying. Who wants to eat you? Its not delicious at all. She pursed her lips and turned around with another mangosteen. Rest early. Im going out. Before she could take two steps, Pei Jingzhou reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her back. She stepped back and leaned into Pei Jingzhous arms. Because he had drunk, he reeked of alcohol and his body was burning. She twisted her body. Pei Jingzhou said, Dont move. Let me hug you for a while. Li You reminded him, Im sorry, sir. Im not in luck tonight. Dont seduce me. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. Guess if Im sober or confused now? Sober or confused? She had thought that Pei Jingzhou was sober, but after his question, she was suddenly uncertain. She put the mangosteen aside and turned his wrist to face him. Their bodies were still pressed together. She looked up at him. They looked at each other for a moment. No one said anything. Until Li You couldnt help but ask, Were you pretending to be drunk outside just now? Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked her, What do you think? At this moment, the smile on Pei Jingzhous face was completely different from when she asked him to smile. He was deliberately pretending to be obedient just now. He was clearly black-bellied now! Just as she thought that she could take this rare opportunity to tease Pei Jingzhou and feel smug because of it, it turned out that Pei Jingzhou was teasing her without her knowing. With that thought in mind, Li You pushed him away, keeping her feet at arms length. Then she crossed her arms and turned sideways. Pei Jingzhou leaned towards her. Are you angry? Li You pouted. No. Pei Jingzhou reached out and gently hugged her. Then, he rested his chin on her shoulder and said in a slightly hoarse voice, Im not completely drunk. His breath landed on her neck. It was hot and itchy, and she shrank her neck to hide. Pei Jingzhou sensed that she was hiding and pressed his warm lips against her neck. Li You liked this kind of intimacy, but they were at her house now. Her parents would look over at any moment. She panicked and quickly pushed his head away. Because it was too heavy, she placed her elbow on his chest. Pei Jingzhou, Pei Jingzhou She was anxious and shouted twice. Pei Jingzhou reached back and tightened his grip on her waist. Im here, Li You elbowed him in the chest. Stop fooling around. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. Im not. Get up. Pei Jingzhou! She was clearly anxious. Pei Jingzhou almost leaned against her. Listening to her faster and faster heartbeat, the smile on his lips deepened. He slowly raised his head and kissed the side of her face. He whispered, You havent called me brother. Li You said, Call me sister again. Pei Jingzhou said, Sister. He called out without hesitation. Li You turned to face him, the smile on her lips almost reaching the back of her head. She bit her lip and called out in a ladylike manner, Pei Jingzhou did not show any expression when he heard this. He even said calmly, Actually, I dont feel anything. Hearing this, Li You poked his chest angrily. What else do you want to feel? If you really feel anything, you can forget about sleeping tonight. Pei Jingzhou said, l have to sleep even if I cant sleep. What if Father-in-law chases me out? Li You said, If Dad chases you out, Ill go out and pick you up again. Pei Jingzhou chuckled softly. Before letting go of her and letting her out, he whispered in her ear, You havent kissed me yet. Li Yous cheeks heated. Then close your eyes. Pei Jingzhou did as he was told and closed his eyes to wait. Li You slowly retreated, but Pei Jingzhou seemed to have sensed it. Before she could take half a step back, he pulled her back and kissed her. Li You thought of her mothers words and kissed Pei Jingzhou back. Only when he was satisfied did she free herself from his arms. You should go to bed early, she said. Pei Jingzhou looked at her with drunken eyes and replied, Mm. After Li You came out, she carefully closed the door. The moment she came out, she saw her father and mother sitting on the sofa. Her heart was beating like a drum as she slowly walked over like a hero heading to the execution ground. MO Zhu looked up and saw his daughter walking over. She pointed at the sofa on the other side. Come out and sit. Li You sat down obediently. MO Zhu gave her husband a look. Of course, Li Huaisheng wanted to listen in, but he listened to his wife more. He stood up and said, Im going to sober up. MO Zhu nodded. Li Huaisheng walked past Li You and leaned over to pat her shoulder. Dont be afraid. Your mother doesnt eat people. Li You choked. Mm. After Li Huaisheng left, there were only Li You and MO Zhu left. MO Zhus casual gaze landed on her daughter. Arent you going to explain? Li You knew that there was no point in saying anything else. She said directly, We will get married. When MO Zhu heard this, she smiled gently. Of course Mom knows. Li You grinned and asked, Will Mom object to getting married early? l wont object. MO Zhu looked at Li You. Because Mom believes in sincere love, Mom believes that you have met the most sincere love.. Chapter 473 - Chapter 473: Past in Country T (6) Chapter 473: Past in Country T (6) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although I wont object to you getting married early and believe that the most sincere love will happen to you, if there are any cracks in your relationship in the future, 1 hope you can distinguish love from life. Nio Zhu said gently. Li You had yet to experience her future married life, so she could only vaguely understand what her mother was saying. Got it. MO Zhu looked at his daughters confused expression and reached out to her. Come and sit beside Mom. Oh, okay. Li You came over and sat down beside her mother. Nio Zhu held his daughters hand and looked at her gently. Mom met happiness later than you. When Mom and your father met, I was already 26 years old. Before that, I had a first love, but it ended. When 1 met your father, I didnt think about the future. I even had the thought of making do. Li You had known for a long time that her mothers first love was not her father, but she did not know who her mothers first love was. However, her mothers original intention to be with her father was to make do. Li You did not know this before, this was the first time she had heard her mother take the initiative to tell her. Li You was very curious, so she asked, Then, did Dad use love to move you bit by bit? Yes. MO Zhu recalled the past. At least before I married your father, I had no feelings for him. Li You teased meaningfully, Oh, I know. You and Dad were married before you fell in love. MO Zhu was amused by this. Thats right. Li You only knew about her parents love after marriage now. However, she was more curious about how her mother had broken up with her first love. She wanted to ask. But she was also afraid that this first love, which had ended without a cause, would be a scar in her mothers heart. It would be uncomfortable to open the scar. MO Zhu saw her hesitant look. She raised her hand and rubbed the side of her daughters face. Do you want to ask how Mom and my first love broke up back then? Li You was surprised. How did you know I wanted to ask this? MO Zhu: l guessed from your expression. Li You leaned over and asked, Then can you tell me about it? The past was in the past. MO Zhu would no longer mention this in front of anyone, but it was fine if she was willing to mention it in front of her daughter. Because she wanted her daughter to know about relationships. Nio Zhu said slowly, That first love was actually a childhood sweetheart. 1 was in the same high school and university as him. We had a good relationship, but both parties never broke that layer of paper and said that we were together. It was only in my second year that I plucked up the courage to confess to him. Li You asked, Did he agree? He did. MO Zhu said, In my sophomore year, we officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. Li You nodded. Although your wish was fulfilled at that time, fortunately, it wasnt him later. Otherwise, I wouldnt be who I am now. MO Zhu smiled and said, Thats right. Fortunately, it wasnt him later on. Everyone said that he and 1 were childhood sweethearts. We were a good match and were even compatible with each other. As I liked him for a long time, at that time, when we were together, I thought that I would have a future with him. Unfortunately, this inexperienced relationship only lasted for a year and a half. When talking about these past events, MO Zhus expression was very calm because she had long let go. Li Yous heart ached when she heard that. She continued to ask, Why did it only last for a year and a half? Since you knew each other in high school and university, could It be that because you were too familiar with each other, he felt that he could never become a true lover? MO Zhu nodded. Sort of. Li You scolded, Scumbag. Nio Zhu laughed. Yes, a little. She didnt expect her mother to agree. Li You thought that when she was angry about this, her mother would explain that it wasnt like that. She felt better again. What happened then? For example, did he seamlessly connect with anyone else after you split up? Not really. MO Zhus tone was calm, without any hatred for the man. Although I like him and want a future with him, my personality is too strong, and I have a long-term plan and goals for the future. I remember that day he told me that I should spread my wings and fly to a higher place and stand on a stage that belongs to me. He told me not to take him because were not on the same path. If we can meet in the future, it might be fate. l remembered his words. He said, Our future encounter might also be fate. Therefore, I didnt stay depressed for long after our breakup. We wish each other a bright future. One day, we will meet at the peak. When I rose through the ranks and looked forward to continuing our relationship, I found out that he was with someone else. Hearing this, Li Yous heart trembled. Her mother worked so hard to hike and climb in one direction. She yearned to become outstanding and continue her fate with that man. But the heavens had dealt her a huge blow. That man still fell in love with someone else. Li You asked, Then did you hate him? MO Zhu said softly, l hated him at the time, but I let it go later because I knew where l t d lost. That fall from the sky was the right partner for him. She wasnt strong, she was very obedient. She treated him as the sky, and she was willing to stay by his side obediently. That was when I knew that what he needed was a weak and dependent lover who needed his protection, not a lover who could be evenly matched with him. When Li You heard this, she did not grit her teeth and criticize the mans criteria for choosing a partner. He wasnt actually too wrong. He was the same as many men in reality. This was because reality was like this. Not every man liked a woman who was evenly matched with him. Most men in reality preferred gentle and obedient women who only needed to snuggle up to them under their protection. MO Zhu looked at his daughter, who had fallen silent after hearing her words, and teased, Are you comparing that uncles personality with Little Peis? Li You did compare them. But that didnt affect anything. MO Zhu said, Your father and I have eyes to see the energy that Little Pei has put into you over the past two years. Li You pursed her lips. Ive known Pei Jingzhou for a long time. When I was five years old, I already hugged his arm and wheedled. Hes also my only first love so far and my future husband. But in Moms opinion, no matter how good childhood sweethearts are, will someone suddenly fall from the sky and break all of this? Thats possible. MO Zhu didnt give his daughter a perfect fantasy, so the answer sounded realistic. Li You lowered her eyes and fell silent. MO Zhu asked, Has your heart wavered? Li You shook her head without hesitation and replied, No.. Chapter 474 - Chapter 474: Past in Country T (7) Chapter 474: Past in Country T (7) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations MO Zhu was relieved. Relationships are the most unpredictable. No ones relationship path can really be smooth sailing for the rest of their lives. However, if you do your best to maintain this relationship, even if the final outcome makes you dissatisfied, dont be upset and depressed. Walk forward boldly forever. The person who loves you will wait for you at the end. The person who comes late will follow you silently. When Li You heard her mothers words, she benefited greatly. l understand. Pei Jingzhou is the person waiting for me at the end As she spoke, Li You looked up at her mother. And Dad is the person who followed Mom silently. Nio Zhu nodded. Yes. The mother and daughter chatted for a long time until it was late. It was time to rest. MO Zhu stood up, and Li You followed suit. MO Zhu raised her hand and patted Li Yous arm. After Little Pei returns to the country tomorrow, you should calm down and take the exam. After the exam, go to the embassy with your father. Li You agreed. Oh, got it. The next day, Li You sent Pei Jingzhou to the airport. Pei Jingzhou did not let her send him in. Study well when you get back. Youll take the exam the day after tomorrow. Ill come back after youre done. Li You replied, Got it. In fact, she couldnt bear to. She took the initiative to hug his waist. Last night, Mom told me to follow Dad to the embassy after the exam. How could Pei Jingzhou not understand what she meant? Youre used to being relaxed and comfortable. Now that youre suddenly going to be busy, theres a huge difference in your heart, right? Li You pouted. What do you think? Pei Jingzhou said, Im working hard too. Li You looked up at him. Little Pei, lets work hard together. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Is Little Pei something you can call? Am I not allowed to call you Little Pei, only my parents are allowed to call you Little Pei? I think this Little Pei is quite nice. She shook his arm coquettishly and said, You can also call me Little Li. Pei Jingzhou said, Li You. Li You said, Little Li. Pei Jingzhou said, Li You. Li You pouted and snorted. Bye-bye, Little Pei. Pei Jingzhou couldnt help but laugh. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Im leaving, then. Oh, wait! Li You handed a bag of mangosteens to Pei Jingzhou. Take this back for Auntie to eat. Pei Jingzhou took the bag. She said, Its not easy to bring durians. If you can bring durians, Ill definitely bring two more durians back for you. Pei Jingzhou looked at the bag of mangosteens in his hand. Then I have to thank the durians for being too big and not convenient to bring them back. Otherwise, I wouldnt even dare to imagine you letting me carry two durians into the airport. Its fine in Country T. If you carry two large durians and wear a hot pair of slippers and sunglasses, people will think youre a local handsome man. She smiled as she spoke. As she spoke, she did not forget to scan him up and down like a scanner. If you change into the set I just mentioned, you will be a standard local handsome man. Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and tapped her forehead. Im also a handsome local man in the capital. Li You pouted. Oh, Pei Jingzhou is so narcissistic. Pei Jingzhou said, l learned it from you. He lowered his hand. Im about to miss my flight. Im going in. Alright, bye~. She waved her hand reluctantly. Pei Jingzhou lowered his head and kissed her lips before turning to go in. After watching Pei Jingzhou enter the airport, Li You stood there for a while before taking a taxi to school. On this day, Li You revised and prepared for the exam the day after tomorrow. At the same time, she re-established her next plan. The most important thing was to go to the embassy. She hadnt expected the schedule to be brought forward by a day. Li Huaisheng planned to take Li You to the embassy tomorrow. Li You did not care if the time was brought forward. She was going anyway. The next day, Li You packed early and followed her father to the embassy. Although there was a rainy season in Country T, it did not actually rain often. However, for some reason, the recent weather has been indicating rain. Li You had never taken the weather in Country T seriously. But Li Huaisheng had brought an umbrella with him. In the car, father and daughter chatted about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not that complicated. It was divided into two main categories. She had known this for a long time. They were handling cases and research. The corresponding departments were all in the office, in charge of welcoming and sending people. The corresponding part of the research was the Political Department, which would write the latest developments and reports of the country. Li Huaisheng said, In addition to the cases and research you know about, theres also the Consul. Li You asked, Which consuls? Li Huaisheng said, Receiving Overseas Chinese and Consulate General. Li You asked again, Then what am 1 going to try to interact with next? l wanted you to come into contact with the case first, but your local language is too bad. You wont understand if the natives speak a little faster, so youd better go to the research office to train. If you dont know, look up the dictionary. Its better than you translating it to someone on your phone. At this point, Li Huaisheng did not forget to remind Li You, Youve been in Country T for almost two years, but your local language is still so bad. I suggest that you achieve intermediate local language skills in the second half of this year. When she heard that she was going to complete the intermediate T language skills in the second half of the year, Li You frowned. It was too difficult. It started to rain halfway through the drive. Li Huaisheng was glad. Fortunately, I brought an umbrella. Li You turned to look out the window. The rain was not heavy yet. When the car drove into the embassy, the rain was already much heavier. Li Huaisheng got out of the car and waited for Li You to come down with an umbrella. The father and daughter walked side by side. When they arrived under the roof, Li Huaisheng was about to put away the umbrella when a woman in her thirties walked over. The woman was here to seek consular assistance. She had just arrived overseas and had lost a large sum of money. As she could not find the direction of the consular office, she was about to ask someone when she met Li Huaisheng and Li You. The woman recognized Li Huaisheng at a glance and quickly shouted, Mr. Li Huaisheng handed the umbrella to Li You. Keep it. Li You took the umbrella and saw her father walk towards the anxious woman. After patiently listening to the womans explanation, he immediately took the woman to the Consulate. Li You watched as her father and the person who had come to the embassy to seek consular assistance walked away. She had planned to put away her umbrella and prepare to follow. She shook the raindrops off it. In her hurry, she hadnt noticed anyone coming in behind her, but shed thrown it at the person whod come in behind her, and at his face. Hey, you Hearing the voice, Li You quickly turned around. She saw that the boy behind her had a large patch of rain on his clean clothes and his face. Li You: Gu Lanshi: Li You quietly put away the umbrella and took out a bag of tissue from her bag. Without even taking it out, she handed it to the other party. Im sorry. I didnt do it on purpose. Gu Lanshi took the packet of tissues and placed the umbrella aside. He took out a tissue to wipe the rain off his face. Seeing that the other party looked guilty and apologetic, Gu Lanshi paused. Im fine. You can leave. Li You said again, Im sorry. With that, she turned around and ran away with the umbrella. She didnt think shed see him again. But she saw him again soon, because he was standing right behind her father.. Chapter 475 - Chapter 475: Past in Country T (8) Chapter 475: Past in Country T (8) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Not late. I just arrived too. Li Huaisheng put away his used fountain pen and turned around. When he saw that Gu Lanshis clothes were wet and even her hair was a little wet, Li Huaisheng asked with concern, Did you get wet in the rain when you came? Theres wind in the rain. Its a little wet, but its fine. Gu Lanshi handed Li Huaisheng the research document he had finished overnight. Li Huaisheng took the research document and asked, Are you wet inside? If your clothes are also wet inside, you have to Halfway through his sentence, Li Huaisheng frowned. No, you still have to change. Ive put a few sets of clothes here. Wait a moment. Ill get you one. Gu Lanshi quickly said, Teacher, theres no need. Li Huaisheng turned to look at Gu Lanshi. Working at the embassy, your image represents your country, understand? These words were remembered by Gu Lanshi. He did not refuse again and only said, Thank you, Teacher. Give me a minute. Ill get my clothes. After Li Huaisheng left, Gu Lanshi seemed to be the only one in the huge office. There was a globe on the desk, the kind that could spin. Gu Lanshi reached out and casually fiddled with the globe, waiting patiently. As he fiddled with it, Gu Lanshis hand suddenly stopped. He turned to look at the door. Li You, who was about to sneak in, happened to meet Gu Lanshis gaze. She was speechless. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Li You smiled awkwardly and said, Hello, we meet again. Gu Lanshi walked over to Li You and asked, Why are you here? Li You said, Uh Her gaze fell on the lapel in front of him. That was her masterpiece not long ago. Would this person denounce her after asking why she had come? Seeing that she was hemming and hawing, Gu Lanshi asked patiently, What are you doing here? Li You bit her lip and racked her brains to think of something. Im a cleaner. Gu Lanshi frowned and said in a surprised tone, Housekeeping? You? Yeah, yeah, hehe. Li You felt that this lie was ridiculous. She finished with a hollow laugh, then turned her head and looked around for something. When she realized that there was a rag on the cabinet under the windowsill, she pretended to be calm and walked over. She picked up the rag and wiped the table. As she did so, she said, No more slacking off. Ill start work now. Gu Lanshi stared at Li You for a few seconds before walking towards her. Seeing how hard Li You was wiping the table, he asked, You didnt dare to look at me directly just now because you were afraid that I would find trouble with you? Li You shook her head. How could that be? Im looking at you with my eyes open. Gu Lanshi looked a little speechless. I mean, you didnt look at me directly. Oh, Im naturally oblique, Li You said with a straight face. Gu Lanshi: Li You did not say who she was because she did not have an official identity in the embassy. Currently, she was only here to learn from her father. In the future, she would have to return to China to take the exam. It was equivalent to an internship. As an intern, she had just arrived today and already spilled water on her fathers student. How could she dare to say that her father was Li Huaisheng? It was an embarrassment to her father. Li You wiped the table skillfully and said with a smile, You dont have to stare at me. Ive been in this line of work for more than ten years. 1 can roughly tell with a glance which blind spot has a layer of ash. It must be wiped clean. Stop talking nonsense. Gu Lanshi exposed her. How old are you, and youve worked here for more than ten years? Doesnt that mean youve worked here since you were four or five years old? Li You continued to spout nonsense in all seriousness. Yes, this is Country T. Its normal to come out to work early. Gu Lanshi chuckled and said, You dont look like youre from Country T. Li You asked, Dont I look thick-browed enough? Gu Lanshi stared at Li You carefully for a few seconds before saying truthfully, Not enough. Oh Li You stammered. Actually Im a hybrid between Country T and China. Gu Lanshi said, Then say something in the local language. Li You: At this moment, she deeply realized the importance of her father telling her to study the local language!!! She swore to herself that she would learn the local language well after today! Perhaps because the expression on Li Yous face was too interesting, Gu Lanshi couldnt ignore it even if he wanted to. Moreover, this girl was the most interesting person he had seen since he came to Country T. For a moment, he couldnt help but laugh. The corners of his lips slowly curled up. He asked again, Is your local language not very good, or do you not know how to speak it at all? Its not too good, she said honestly, not daring to meet his scrutinizing gaze. Gu Lanshi raised her eyebrows. Oh? Then say something. Li You thought that this was making things difficult for her! She already said that it wasnt good, but he still had to make her say a few words. Thats why people couldnt lie casually because they couldnt cover up a lie. If she had known, she would have said that she was here for a stroll. Why did she have to say that she was a cleaner? Forget it. Shell just say it. She clasped her hands together and looked up at him with a smile. Sawatdee ka m Out of courtesy in Country T, Gu Lanshi also pressed his palms together. Li You quickly bent down again. After bending down, she waved at him. Laagorn Ka Q (Goodbye) She put the rag down and turned to slip away. Gu Lanshi stepped forward and blocked her way. He asked her in very standard local language, Khun j? bpai thti-n?i? (Where are you going?) Li You gave Gu Lanshi a thumbs up. You speak the local language so well. Gu Lanshi couldnt help but laugh. He crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly to ask her, Tell me, what are you here for? Li You said nothing. Gu Lanshi continued to ask, Are you here at the embassy to ask for help? Li You shook her head. Gu Lanshi asked, Are you here to look for a job? Li You thought about how she would be learning from her father for a long time, so she nodded and replied, Yes. Do you know the most convenient way to work in a foreign embassy in China? Gu Lanshi continued to ask her. Li You thought for a moment and said, Go to the official website and look at the recruitment notice? So you know. Gu Lanshi nodded. Yes, most foreign embassies in China wont recruit themselves. They will entrust the capitals diplomatic service bureau to publicize the recruitment information. If you want to find a job in the embassy in China, you need to be interviewed according to the recruitment requirements. There was no malice in Gu Lanshis tone. He only told the other party politely about this process. After hearing this, Li You smiled politely. Thank you. I understand. Have you graduated? Gu Lanshi asked again. Li You said, No. Gu Lanshi expressed that he understood everything. He kindly told Li You, If you really want to work here, the interview requirements will be stricter. Moreover, it might not be an official job. You have to return to the country to participate In the exam. Li You continued, l know that.. Chapter 476 - Chapter 476: Past in Country T (9) Chapter 476: Past in Country T (9) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations I can help you, Gu Lanshi said. As he said it, he barely thought about whether it would really help her work here. Li You asked curiously, How are you going to help me? Gu Lanshi pursed his lips and looked serious. My teacher is the curator here. I can ask him to help you come in and work. When Li You heard this, she looked troubled. Then wouldnt 1 have connections? Gu Lanshi thought for a moment and replied, Not really, because connections refer to people who are very familiar with some places or positions who get in through the back door for themselves. Were not considered acquaintances because I still dont know your name. Seeing how serious the other party was, Li You felt more and more guilty. The curator that the other party was talking about was her father. The person who could help her come in and work was also her father! Should she confess her identity next? It seemed that he would be here for a long time in the future, and she would come to the embassy often. The two of them would always meet frequently. If she fooled him again, they would become enemies! Actually, I Just as she was about to explain, Li Huaishengs voice came from the other end. Little Gu. Gu Lanshi said to Li You, Wait a moment. Then, he turned around and walked quickly towards Li Huaisheng. Li Huaisheng handed the clothes he had found to Gu Lanshi. Look at my memory. I forgot that the last time my wife came over to take back those clothes and iron them. 1 forgot to bring them over after that. I went to look for Little Zhang to get these clothes just now. Wear them first and change back when your clothes are dry. Gu Lanshi took it with both hands. Thank you, Teacher. Li Huaisheng nodded and looked in Li Yous direction. Seeing that she was standing there and not coming over, Li Huaisheng waved at Li You and said, Come here quickly. Li Huaisheng had called Li You over to introduce Li You to his student. When Li You walked over slowly, Gu Lanshi had already told Li Huaisheng, She just came in and said that she wants to apply for a job at the embassy, but shes still in school. If she comes in, it will only be unofficial. Teacher, can you help her? Li Huaisheng looked at Gu Lanshi and then at Li You, who was walking over slowly. Then, he asked Gu Lanshi, Did she tell you that? Gu Lanshi wanted to nod, but he remembered that he didnt even know the other partys name now, so he couldnt confirm if what he said was true. However, he believed her very much just now. When Li Huaisheng saw the conflicted expression on Gu Lanshis face, he asked, Do you know her name? Gu Lanshi shook his head. Li Huaishengs expression turned serious. Almost all our compatriots who came to the embassy are here to ask for help. You talked to her for so long just now and asked her why she asked for help, but you actually didnt ask her name and identity information? Do you know what your job responsibilities These words reminded Gu Lanshi. After realizing that he had made a very low-level mistake, Gu Lanshi lowered his head in shame. Im sorry, Teacher. Its my fault. Li You walked over slowly and saw her father lecturing the boy she had just splashed water on. She did not dare to make a sound. After walking over, she stood there silently. Gu Lanshi called out to her, Hey. Li You looked up at Gu Lanshi. Gu Lanshi gestured to her. Come here. Li You looked at her father and then at the person who had called her over. She hesitated for a few seconds before taking two more steps forward. When Li You approached, Gu Lanshi introduced him to Li You. Hes my teacher, Mr. Li Huaisheng. Li You nodded. Oh. She did not say anything else. Gu Lanshi coughed lightly and reminded her, Call him. Li You said, Huh? Gu Lanshi repeated, Call him. Li You turned to look at Li Huaisheng. This was her father. What should he be called? Uncle Li? Mr. Li? Old Man Li? Li Huaisheng waited calmly for his daughter to give him a new form of address. After a long while, she did not speak and took the initiative to ask, l heard from Lanshi that youre here to apply? Li You said, Uh Li Huaisheng reminded her, Answer well. Li You lowered her head and replied, Yes. When Li Huaisheng saw her indescribable expression, he was neither angry nor smiling. He turned to Gu Lanshi and said, Go change your clothes. Gu Lanshi did not leave. He turned around and looked at Li You, as if he was worried that she would not be able to deal with the teacher alone. Li Huaisheng smiled and asked, Little Gu, do you think Ill make things difficult for her? No, teacher. Shes just a little timid and doesnt know how to speak well, Gu Lanshi explained. Li Huaisheng was dissatisfied. How is she timid? I think shes shrewd and bold. Gu Lanshi still wanted to explain, but Li Huaisheng waved his hand. Go and change your clothes. Okay. Gu Lanshi nodded and left with the clothes. Before he left, he looked back at the girl again, worried. He was actually worried that she would leave directly later. It was their first time meeting and he did not know the other partys name. Country T was so big. If he left, it would not be so easy to meet again. After Gu Lanshi went to change, Li You finally heaved a sigh of relief. Before she could finish heaving, she heard her father ask her in a serious tone, Did you lie to Little Gu that you were applying for a job? Li You felt guilty and whispered, Yes, I lied to him. Li Huaisheng asked again, Why did you lie to him? Li You confessed, Actually, I spilled the water on his clothes, but I accidentally spilled it. 1 didnt notice him coming from behind. So you were afraid that he would find trouble with you, so you casually lied to him that you were here to apply? Li Huaisheng said angrily. Li You nodded obediently. Yes. Actually, I just wanted to tease him. 1 didnt expect him to believe me. He even said that he wanted you to arrange work for me. Li Huaisheng couldnt be bothered to talk to her anymore. He turned around and pulled a chair over, gesturing for her to sit down. After Li You sat down, Li Huaisheng went behind his desk and sat down. He opened the document that Gu Lanshi had given him and read two pages. After reading it, he pushed it in front of Li You. Take a look. Li You was surprised. Are you showing it to me? Li Huaisheng nodded. Yes, take a look first. Li You flipped it open. These were all research done by Gu Lanshi. They were very detailed, and she could understand them. While she was flipping through it, Li Huaisheng took a glass of water and prepared to make tea. He opened the drawer and took out a tea bag. He was used to it and his movements were methodical. By the time the tea was ready, Li You had already finished reading a page. She looked up at the glass in her fathers hand. The buds were tender and fragrant, so she said, Dad, I want tea too. Li Huaisheng pushed the cup of tea to Li You. The cup is washed every day. I just made my first cup today. Here, Ill go find another cup. With that, Li Huaisheng got up and went to the cabinet to find another cup suitable for making tea. Li You had long been used to her father giving her whatever she wanted. The boiling water for tea was only about seventy degrees. It wasnt particularly hot, but she couldnt drink it directly. She prepared to take a small sip. When Gu Lanshi, who had changed his clothes, saw this scene, he rushed over to stop her. You cant drink it! Li You was shocked. The water in her cup almost overflowed. She turned to look at the person whod stopped her from drinking tea. Did you apply poison to the mouth of the cup? Gu Lanshi!s expression was indescribable. He explained, Thats Teachers cup. You cant use Teachers cup. Li Huaisheng found another cup and said, You dont have to worry about Little You. Ill make another cup. When Gu Lanshi heard this, a trace of shock flashed across his eyes.. Little You? He immediately asked, Are you Li You? Chapter 477 - Chapter 477: Past in Country T (10) Chapter 477: Past in Country T (10) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations You know me? Li You was surprised. Gu Lanshi did not answer if he knew her. Instead, he confirmed again, Are you really Li You? Li You admitted, l am. Gu Lanshi suddenly laughed, making Li You feel strange, Gu Lanshi said, Ive heard the teacher mention you many times. Li Yous eyes widened. Her tone was even more surprised than when Gu Lanshi called her name just now. My father mentioned me in front of you many times? Yes. Gu Lanshi looked at Li You sincerely. Teacher said that he has a very lively daughter. Li You immediately understood the implication. Sigh, you dont have to be so reserved. My liveliness is equivalent to my fathers headache. I know all this. With that, Li You turned to look at her father and asked, Isnt that right, Dad? Li Huaisheng replied calmly, Yes, I have peach and plum trees all over the world. But I grow a bitter gourd at home. Li You turned around and shrugged at Gu Lanshi. Did you hear that? Im the bitter gourd my father planted at home. l realized that your personality is much more interesting than Teacher said. Gu Lanshis tone was very gentle. Also, dont belittle yourself. Youre very outstanding. Li You said, It sounds like a polite compliment. Youve never even interacted with me before, yet you say Im outstanding. Gu Lanshi smiled without saying anything. Thinking of what had just happened, the smile on Gu Lanshis lips disappeared, and his tone was apologetic. l should have thought of your identity from the moment I saw you come in. I was too slow. How are you slow? If youre slow, wouldnt I be retarded? With that, Li You took the initiative to apologize. Im sorry. 1 shouldnt have lied to you. Gu Lanshi shook his head, his voice as gentle as before. Its fine. Li Huaisheng coughed lightly. Since we know each other, lets do what we have to do next. Lets have lunch together. Gu Lanshi immediately agreed. Then, he turned to ask Li You, What jobs are you in contact with? If theres anything you cant handle, you can ask me. Li You said, Im just looking at the research. Dont worry, Ill take the initiative to ask you if I dont understand. There were still more than three hours until noon. It was still early for lunch. Next, Li You continued to flip through Gu Lanshis research. If she had any doubts, she would take the initiative to ask Gu Lanshi. After a while, she called him Senior. It was impossible to avoid contact when working together, but Li You knew her limits. She knew to keep a distance from the other party. Especially since she had a boyfriend now. Although her words and actions were mixed with childishness, her actions were very proper. In the car on the way home that night. Li You was a little tired. She was listless. She usually sat in school and had a lot of free time. Today, she stood more often and always ran around to learn how Gu Lanshi dealt with the overseas Chinese who came to the embassy to ask for help. She rubbed her stomach and legs. Although she was tired and wanted to empty her mind, she couldnt help but think about tomorrows exam. As she thought about it, she suddenly heard her father ask about her. This is the first time you worked with your senior brother today. What is your impression of him? Li You replied without thinking, Senior is very outstanding. After answering, Li You realized something from what she had just said. She turned her head and asked, Dad, are you planning to nurture Gu Lanshi as your successor? Li Huaishengs answer was ambiguous. Little Gu is indeed my favorite student now. What about your daughter? Li You pouted. Li Huaisheng snorted. You have no say. Li You imitated her fathers tone and snorted. Fortunately, theres no longer the hereditary system of the past. If this was the past, when you thought about me inheriting your mantle, you would probably sigh every day. Li Huaisheng found it difficult to disagree. Although youre not motivated in other aspects and your performance is average in all aspects, theres one good thing about you. Youre quite self-aware. Li You: The insult from her biological father was really insulting! The next day, Li You had to take the exam and did not go to the embassy. On the third day, Pei Jingzhou came to Country T. For the next half a month, Li You did not go to the embassy again because she had been working hard to learn the Country T language. Li You currently knows three languages, the best of which a_re Chinese and English. She had been in contact with the T language for a year and a half, but she had not been good at it. She understood that if she wanted to speak it well, the most important thing was not to expand her vocabulary, but to memorize the common words. Therefore, she had been studying the T language for the past half a month. Li Yous learning ability was very fast. This was not a talent. As long as she put in effort and studied seriously, she would definitely complete it well. In just half a month, she had completely memorized the common words that she had not been able to memorize. Half a month later, she finally appeared at the embassy. Gu Lanshi was a little surprised to see her. 1 thought you wouldnt come again before graduation. How could that be? Li Yous face was filled with confidence. Ive been seriously studying the T language recently and even signed up for the intermediate test. Gu Lanshi handed her a cup of freshly brewed coffee. When he heard this, his lips curled into a smile that was even more surprised than before. 1 remember that on your first day at the embassy, you were still worried about when you would pass the Elementary T language exam. Haha! Things are different now! Li Yous tone was very light. When she took the cup of coffee Gu Lanshi handed her, she said, Thank you. Dont make me coffee next time. 1 dont like coffee very much. Gu Lanshi nodded. Yes, Ill remember. Li You took a sip of coffee and frowned because of the bitterness. Gu Lanshi saw it and asked, The tea leaves are also very bitter. Why can you accept the bitterness of the tea leaves and not the bitterness of the coffee? Li You was stunned. She looked up at Gu Lanshi. Everyone has different tastes. There shouldnt be anything strange about that. Gu Lanshi smiled. Thats true. In the first few months before the end of the year, Li You had been running back and forth between the school and the embassy. In just a few months, she had not only completed the intermediate T-language exam, but also the advanced T-language exam a month later. In addition, she had learned the E and H languages. This year, Li Huaisheng did not have to guard the embassy. He brought his wife, MO Zhu, and daughter, Li You, back to the country. Gu Lanshi was also returning with them this time. When the four of them came out of the airport together, Li You saw Pei Jingzhou standing in the crowd waiting for her from afar. He was wearing a black coat and looked even more mature and steady. It had only been a week since she last saw him, but she felt that it had been half a year. A happy smile instantly appeared on her face. She stood on her tiptoes and waved her hand. Pei Jingzhou! When Gu Lanshi heard Li Yous cry, he looked in that direction and saw Pei Jingzhou. At this moment, it was also the first time he had seen what Li Yous boyfriend looked like.. Chapter 478 - Chapter 478: Past in Country T (11) Chapter 478: Past in Country T (11) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He had heard from his teacher that Li Yous boyfriend often came to Country T to see her. Although he was quite curious about what kind of person Li Yous boyfriend was, there would sometimes be some disdain in his heart. He thought that since he had come to Country T so many times in a year, he was either someone who did not do his job or a rich second- generation heir. If he really loved Li You, why didnt he stay in Country T to accompany her? Even with this guess in mind, the moment Gu Lanshi saw Pei Jingzhou, his grip on the suitcase subconsciously tightened. He asked in a normal tone, Li You, is that your boyfriend? Li You admitted generously, Thats right, Senior. Ill introduce you later. Gu Lanshi smiled. Okay. After spending more than half a year in the embassy, only Gu Lanshi knew what feelings Gu Lanshi had for Li You. He never said anything or revealed anything. He controlled the distance between the two of them very well because he knew that she already had a boyfriend. According to his teacher, they had not been in a relationship for two years. They had only known each other for a long time. Now, they were only short of getting engaged. Would she be engaged to him this year, then? He hopes not When there were still more than ten meters left, Li You pushed the suitcase to her father and sped up towards Pei Jingzhou. She expressed her longing enthusiastically, not embarrassed at all by the fact that there were many people here. She ran over and jumped onto Pei Jingzhous body, wrapping her arms around his neck. Pei Jingzhou also reached out in advance when she jumped over. Then, he held her waist and hugged her. Li You hugged Pei Jing tightly and asked, Pei Jingzhou, did you miss me? Pei Jingzhous answer was the same as before. There was only one word. Yes. She had always known that was his personality, but she still liked to deliberately chase after him and ask, Then you have to tell me how much? Pei Jingzhou said, Look at me. Li You looked at him obediently. Pei Jingzhou raised her chin and kissed her. At this moment, Li Huaisheng and his wife were not here yet. Gu Lanshi was also walking beside Li Huaisheng and his wife. They were seven to eight meters away from Li You and Pei Jingzhou, but this distance was enough for Li Huaisheng and his wife to see the two of them kissing. Look at these two. They dont care about the occasion at all. It was Li Huaisheng who spoke. Although he said that, Li Huaishengs tone was smiling. MO Zhu said on behalf of his daughter, Whats wrong with young people dating and kissing in public now? It means that they have a deep relationship. Isnt that good? Did you stay in those countries for nothing? Li Huaisheng said, l just said it casually. MO Zhu said, Dont say a word. Go back and prepare well. Its rare for you to come back this year. Its time to discuss their marriage. When he heard that they were going to discuss his daughters marriage, Li Huaisheng felt all kinds of upset. However, he had already discussed this with his wife in Country T. The main reason why he was fighting to return to the country this year was to discuss his daughters marriage. Gu Lanshi, who was walking at the side, asked, Did Teacher and Madam return to the country this year for Li Yous marriage? Li Huaisheng turned to look at Gu Lanshi. Faced with his favorite student and having a close relationship, Li Huaisheng did not hide it and nodded. Yes, Little Pei took the initiative to mention the engagement to me and your madam. After that, we also carefully discussed it. Although Little You is still young and has an uncertain temperament like a child, she has known Little Pei for many years. Besides, I watched Little Pei grow up. Its good to get engaged early. When Little You returns to the country to take up a post in two years, itll be suitable to get married. Gu Lanshis expression was calm. I thought Teacher would object to your daughter getting married early. Li Huaisheng smiled and said, You think, its not that you think. Which father wants to see his little sweetheart get married early? Gu Lanshi said, Then why did you still decide to let Li You get engaged to him? Li Huaisheng sighed. Little Gu, you have to understand that as parents, you should never try to control your childrens lives. As long as they dont break the law, as long as they have good values, it doesnt matter if theyre positive or sad. As long as they think its worth it and enjoy this process, everything else will be fine. Gu Lanshi suppressed the corners of his lips and said in a slightly cold voice, Because shes too young, she hasnt interacted much. Even if she suffers in this relationship in the future, is this the growth process she should experience? Li Huaisheng nodded. Of course. MO Zhu slowly said, Little You has seen a lot of the world in the past few years. Her emotional experience is indeed very poor, but its difficult to have a deep-rooted relationship in her life. The future is the future. Its fine as long as shes happy now. With that, MO Zhu looked ahead with gentle eyes. Look, shes so happy. Gu Lanshi looked ahead. How could he not tell that Li You was brimming with happiness and joy? It was dazzling and beautiful, but at this moment, he felt a little dazzled. Li You hugged Pei Jingzhou and cuddled for a while. Seeing that her parents were here, she quickly came down. She could do whatever she wanted from afar. In front of her parents, she had to have some dignity. She held Pei Jingzhous arm. Without her introduction, Pei Jingzhou had already greeted them one by one. Auntie, Uncle. Li Huaisheng nodded, his smile a little forced. Yes, he had specially come back to discuss his daughters marriage. How could he laugh? On the other hand, MO Zhu smiled in satisfaction. Then, he asked, The flight was delayed. Have you been waiting for a long time? Pei Jingzhou said humbly, No, I just arrived. MO Zhu said, With your personality, you must have come half an hour early. Pei Jingzhou smiled humbly. He reached out to take the suitcase from Li Huaishengs hand. Li Huaisheng waved his hand. No need, no need. Look at how Little You cant wait to hang on to you. She cant find the time to hold her hand. Li You smiled until her teeth were visible. When she thought of Gu Lanshi, who had almost been ignored, she quickly introduced, By the way, his name is Gu Lanshi. Hes the senior 1 mentioned to you before, Pei Jingzhou looked at Gu Lanshi. Gu Lanshi also looked at Pei Jingzhou. The two of them looked at each other. After all, Li Huaisheng and his wife were around, so they restrained their conflicting magnetic fields. Gu Lanshi deliberately reached out his hand. Hello, Im Gu Lanshi. Pei Jingzhou glanced over and reached out. Pei Jingzhou. The two of them did not exchange blows. It was no different from usual. Pei Jingzhou was disdainful, and Gu Lanshi felt that there was no need. When they left the airport and parted ways, Gu Lanshi deliberately mentioned in front of Li You, Little You, you said last time that you wanted to eat our hometowns specialty roast duck. Ill send it to you in a vacuum pack when I get back. Li You replied, Thank you. Gu Lanshi smiled. Youre welcome. The roast duck in our place is very famous, and the vacuum packaging taste isnt bad. Of course, if theres a chance, Ill treat you to a freshly roasted duck at our place. Li You was about to decline when Pei Jingzhous voice came from behind. Thank you. Well come together when we have time.. Chapter 479 - Chapter 479: Past in Country T (12) Chapter 479: Past in Country T (12) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You followed Pei Jingzhous words and said to Gu Lanshi, Yes, Ill come with my boyfriend when I have time. Gu Lanshis expression did not change as he replied calmly, Alright. If you make time, remember to contact me, You have my contact number. Li You nodded. l will. After Gu Lanshi got into the car and left, Li You and Pei Jingzhou also got into the car. Pei Jingzhou had arranged for two cars to pick her up this time. Other than that, there was also the car Cai Buqu had arranged. Li Huaisheng and his wife got into the car Cai Buqu had arranged to pick them up, while Li You got into Pei Jingzhous car. On the way back to the Li Mansion. There was a chauffeur driving ahead. Pei Jingzhou and Li You sat in the back seat. Li You nagged Pei Jingzhou about many interesting things. She was a little naggy, but this phenomenon only existed in front of people close to her. She spoke for a long time without mentioning Gu Lanshi. Until Pei Jingzhou asked her casually, Do you usually interact much with that Gu guy? Li You moved closer to Pei Jingzhou and said with a smile, l thought you wouldnt ask about him. Pei Jingzhou was very calm. You knew I would ask about him? Li You said, Actually, Senior Gu is a person with a high Pei Jingzhou raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly. Is it appropriate for you to praise another man in front of your boyfriend? Let me finish first. Li You smiled ingratiatingly. This time, she spoke faster than before. What I want to say is that after interacting with him for a year and a half, my impression of Senior Gu is that he has a high EQ. He shouldnt have said those words outside the airport just now. After all, youre still beside me, so I guess he did it on purpose. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and surprise flashed across his eyes. So you have a clear mind. Li You shrugged smugly. Of course. Girls are often more easily aware of these details than boys. At this point, Li You even said, Do you believe me? Lets switch. If a girl wants to seduce you so openly and covertly, you definitely wont notice it yourself. If I get angry and remind you, you will definitely say that Im being unreasonable. Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways. Am I such a person in your eyes? Li You shook her head in denial. No, no. 1 mean a small number of boys. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. As a girl, its normal for you to feel insecure, but in our relationship, Im the most insecure person. Li You Halfway through his sentence, Pei Jingzhou suddenly shouted Li Yous name. Li You nodded. Pei Jingzhou looked at her steadily. Some words are shackles that will restrain you, but I think Im qualified to say them. Li You asked curiously, What words? Pei Jingzhou said slowly, Youre my first love and will be my wife in the near future. Youre the only person Ive firmly liked and loved in my life. Ive given you all my first times. You cant have the thought of abandoning me. Be it now or in the future, you have to be responsible for me until the end. After hearing Pei Jingzhous words, Li You finally understood why he said that he had the right to say this. He was indeed qualified. However, she was quite surprised because Pei Jingzhou had never been a person who liked to say such emotional words. His liking and love were expressed enthusiastically and directly. They were all practical actions and he never had to say them with words. It was rare for him to say this in front of her today. It seemed that he had been agitated by Gu Lanshi. She took the initiative to hug his arm and leaned her head gently against it. When she spoke, her voice was soft. Dont worry, Ill definitely be responsible for you to the end. Pei Jingzhou suddenly said, A heartless person has to swallow ten needles. Okay, a heartless person has to swallow ten Li You suddenly looked up at Pei Jingzhou. Ten needles? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Are you afraid? Li You let go of Pei Jingzhous arm. Pei Jingzhou!s eyes darkened. Are you really afraid? Its not that Im afraid. She didnt want to expose him, but seeing how nervous he was that he asked her twice, she was afraid hed really feel bad, so she said, Dont think I dont know that this sentence is a vicious curse written by a witch in Wonderland in front of a love oath. But the exact words are that a heartless person has to swallow ten thousand needles. Pei Jingzhou pretended not to know. l said it casually. I dont know about this. Stop pretending. Pei Jingzhou, 1 know you too well. Li You paused for a moment before continuing, You want to say such an oath, but youre afraid that one day, Ill really be cursed for disloyalty. You cant even bear to let me swallow a thousand or a hundred needles. In the end, you only said ten needles. At this point, Li You leaned towards Pei Jingzhou with an expression that said, Am I right? Did I hit all the targets? Hurry up and praise me. Pei Jingzhous palm restrained her waist. You seem to know everything. Li You smiled smugly. Of course, because I know everything. Pei Jingzhou stared into her bright eyes. If youre unfaithful, you have to swallow ten needles. If Im unfaithful, Ill swallow ten thousand needles. Such words of love were undoubtedly shocking to Li You. It was as if it had hit her soul. No one else had ever made her feel this way. Only Pei Jingzhou. She took the initiative to kiss his cheek. My parents came back this time to talk about our engagement. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Its better to get engaged early than late, so when I mention this in front of Uncle and Auntie, will you think that Im restraining you in advance? Pei Jingzhou, on the other hand, youre already a famous nouveau riche in the business world. Many wealthy ladies and socialites have their eyes on you, and they want to become your Mrs. Pei. Not only are you rich, but you also look so mua~ As she spoke, she couldnt help but kiss Pei Jingzhous handsome face. Satisfied with this kiss, she went on. And so devilishly good-looking to satisfy all a womans fantasies about her future partner from the inside out. Dont you know how many women are eyeing you covetously? Pei Jingzhou replied, l really dont know. Alright, its understandable that you dont know. Only men who arent confident in themselves will scrutinize themselves over and over again. Li You praised her so much, and her small mouth seemed to be covered in honey. The smile on Pei Jingzhous lips did not disappear for more than ten seconds. The car arrived at Qjang Yue Garden. Li You thought that Pei Jingzhou would go in with her, but Pei Jingzhou only sent her into the Li Mansion. After giving her a few instructions, he prepared to drive back. Li You stopped him and asked, Arent you going in with me? Ill come tomorrow, Pei Jingzhou said. Li You pouted. Are you busy today? Pei Jingzhou nodded. A little. Li You was a little dejected. Alright then. See you tomorrow. She waved at Pei Jingzhou and was about to turn around and go in when Pei Jingzhous voice sounded. Im busy because I have to go back and prepare gifts, supplements, baijiu, dried fruits, tea leaves. Im coming to the Li Mansion to propose marriage. The Pei family values traditions from ancient times very much. Although Ive almost finished preparing these a few days ago, I still have to go back and take a closer look before I feel at ease. I cant miss out on any.. Chapter 480 - Chapter 480: Past in Country T (13) Chapter 480: Past in Country T (13) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You had been smiling foolishly all the way in. She was almost to the door. Because she didnt see the person standing there, she almost bumped into them. What are you so happy about? A question came from in front of her, making Li You, who was immersed in her own silly joy, suddenly come back to her senses. She stopped in her tracks and looked up at the person in front of her. Uncle Cai. Cai Buqu smiled kindly. Tell Uncle Cai, what made you smile so happily all the way in? Cai Buqu had been in the Li Mansion for many years. To Li You, Uncle Cai was equivalent to an uncle. Her father, Li Huaisheng, had always treated Cai Buqu as his biological brother. Uncle Cai had never been an outsider to the Li Mansion. Therefore, in front of her biological uncle, Li You chose to share her joy happily. She raised her hand to her mouth and whispered to Cai Buqu, Uncle Cai, Im about to get engaged. Cai Buqu was not surprised to hear this. He smiled and said, I just found out about this. Li You asked, Did Dad tell you on the way back? Yes. Cai Buqu nodded. Your father said that youre getting engaged to Little Pei. Li You nodded. Yes, Im getting engaged to him. Pei Jingzhous existence was known to almost everyone around Li You. Cai Buqu was no exception. When they were still in school, Li You had brought Pei Jingzhou to the Li Mansion many times. Cai Buqu had also seen Pei Jingzhou many times at that time. Although Li You and Pei Jingzhou were still young at that time and no one could predict the future, every time Cai Buqu saw Pei Jingzhou and Li You living together, he couldnt help but think that the person accompanying Little You now was that Pei kid. In the future, the person accompanying Little You would probably still be that kid Pei. Unexpectedly, it really matched his guess at that time. Cai Buqu recalled the past and couldnt help but smile. Your Uncle Cai is quite accurate. In the past, 1 thought that you and that kid Pei would most likely get married and have children. I didnt expect that in the blink of an eye, you and that kid Pei are really getting engaged. Congratulations to our Little You first. Thank you, Uncle Cai- Li Yous mouth was extremely sweet. After saying that, she gave Cai Buqu a thumbs up. Uncle Cai, you have good taste. Cai Buqu was all smiles. Thats true. With that, Cai Buqu raised his hand and patted the back of Li Yous shoulder. Hurry up and go in. This time, knowing that youre back, Uncle Cai hired an auntie to clean your room clean and spotless. I guarantee that youll live comfortably like when you were at home. Li You nodded obediently. Okay. After Li You entered, Cai Buqu turned around and looked at her bouncing back. He smiled and said dotingly, This girl will always be like a child who cant grow up. It was a lively night. Grandma and Auntie were all here. After the lively dinner ended, Guan Suling pulled Li You away from the stairs. It had been a while since they last met, and she had too much to say to Li You. It was probably past nine. Guan Suling looked at the time and thought that Li You was tired after coming back today. She had said everything she needed to say, so she urged Li You to rest. When Li You returned upstairs, the first thing she did was call Pei Jingzhou via video call. It rang a few times before the call was picked up, but the screen was dark and Pei Jingzhou was nowhere to be seen. She did not think too much about it because Pei Jingzhou had been busy with other things in the past. It was not convenient for him to show his face in the video. She lay on the bed with one hand on her head and the other on her cell phone. She asked briskly, Are you still busy? Pei Jingzhous deep voice came from the dark video. Im done. Seeing that the dark image had not changed, Li You asked, Then why didnt you show yourself? Pei Jingzhou said, l just took off my clothes and was about to take a shower. Li Yous eyes widened. Her head snapped up and she leaned closer to the screen. Let me see. On the other end of the video, Pei Jingzhou: There was a rustling sound in the video. Pei Jingzhou was probably fiddling with his cell phone. Immediately after, some white light flashed on the dark video screen, but it quickly turned completely black. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you sure you want to see it? There was a smattering of amusement in his voice. Li You had never been a pervert in the past. When other girls saw boys showing their abdominal muscles, they would scream. Only she was especially calm. Because she had them beside her, she was never surprised by others abdominal muscles. She was only surprised by the person beside her. This made Pei Jingzhou feel especially at ease. Pei Jingzhou had just said that he had taken off his clothes and was preparing to take a shower. The image in Li Yous mind instantly appeared, and it was even three-dimensional. Her mind was filled with Pei Jingzhous abs, Pei Jingzhous biceps, Pei Jingzhous waistline that was full of strength, and Pei Jingzhous proud long legs, of course. She wanted to see it, and couldnt wait to see it. It had been a long time since she and Pei Jingzhou lived together, and the literal meaning was deep. But when she thought about how she would get heaty when she saw it later, wouldnt she be asking for trouble? Therefore, after much hesitation, Li You said, Forget it. Take your time to shower. Come back when youre done. Pei Jingzhou suppressed a smile and asked, Are you afraid? Li You retorted, Would I be afraid? Pei Jingzhou said, Werent you afraid just now? Li Yous voice was much softer than before. l didnt want to disturb your shower. How can I be called a coward? Pei Jingzhou knew her too well. He asked again, Are you really not going to watch it? Li You: At this moment, Li You was frustrated. No, annoyed and frustrated. How could this man be like this? He knew that she could see but not touch him now, but he still insisted on seducing her. Pei Jingzhou. She called his name seriously through the video call. Pei Jingzhou replied, Yes? Li You said, Dont you know what kind of beauty you are? Pei Jingzhou chuckled and asked her, What kind of beauty am l? He was in the bathroom. The empty tone around him was so heavy that it changed his timbre to an even deeper pitch, tapping section after section on Li Yous heart. The next second, the video lit up. The scene in front of her made Li Yous eyes widen. Pei Jingzhou was satisfied to see her expression. He asked, l have been working out recently. Are you satisfied? Li You closed her eyes and said in her heart, Clear your heart and have few desires. Ifyou have no desires, you will be strong. The next second, she opened her eyes and brainwashed herself. This is my own boyfriend. Who else ifnot me could see!? Therefore, she immediately replied, Im satisfied. Im especially satisfied. Pei Jingzhou smiled. The bathroom lights were blazing, making Pei Jingzhous fair skin look slightly transparent. His hair was slightly wet, and he had washed his face with water. His eyes were clear, but they did not lose the gentleness that was only for her. He had probably boiled water. The dense fog around him was very thin, but at this moment it was like an ambiguous enhancer. Li You was almost confused. The corners of her mouth were almost reaching the back of her head. Until Pei Jingzhou took half a step back and asked her, Do you still want to look at my entire body? Li You pursed her lips and said with a serious expression, Pei Jingzhou, you violated the rules. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled. Is it against the rules? Li You said righteously, This is a bad video call. Its extremely harmful to a beautiful girl like me. Its already a serious violation. Ive decided. Im going to lock the door and turn down the volume before continuing to watch. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. Its quite righteous, but I suggest you put on your earphones..! Chapter 481 - Chapter 481: Past in Country T (14) Chapter 481: Past in Country T (14) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou, dont lead me astray. Although Li You complained, her hands were not free at all. She took her bag from the side and unzipped it to search for her earphones. Pei Jingzhou listened to her rummaging and chuckled. Yes, its my fault, so for the sake of my fiances physical and mental health, Ill come back to you after Im done showering. Hey, wait! Pei Jingzhou was very close to the camera. Only his chest could be seen from his upper body. Li You forced herself to look away from Pei Jingzhous chest and look at his face. Whos your fiance! Pei Jingzhou smiled. Soon. In the video, Pei Jingzhou reached for his cell phone, looking like he wanted to turn off the video. Li You looked at the headphones she had just gotten and then at the video. She shouted again, Wait!! Pei Jingzhou stopped reaching for his cell phone and looked at her through the video. Hm? The end of the sentence was very seductive. Li You whispered, Ill watch quietly, okay? Pei Jingzhou put on a serious expression. Its not like you havent seen it before. Li You became even more shameless than Pei Jingzhou. Hey, its been too long. I forgot. Long? Yeah, she said bluntly. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Have you really forgotten? Li You nodded again. Mm. Pei Jingzhou said, I have a mole on my lower back. Have you forgotten that? Ive forgotten no, I dont know at all. Although the two of them had been together for more than half a year, how could she study carefully where the mole on Pei Jingzhous body was? But as soon as she finished speaking, the video screen went black. Li You thought that her cell phone was broken. After anxiously shaking it twice, she realized that Pei Jingzhou had switched to a voice video. Li You threw her earphones aside and lay on the bed angrily. Pei Jingzhou, youre unkind. You deliberately diverted my attention. Pei Jingzhous voice came, mixed with the sound of running water. Im afraid you wont be able to sleep tonight after watching the entire process. Li You smiled playfully. Youre the one who cant sleep, right? Pei Jingzhou did not refute. It would indeed be him. On a whim just now, he had not thought that if she really watched him shower later, he would probably not be able to sleep for the first half of the night. In order to maintain his best state tomorrow, he could only go back on his word. The patter of water grew louder and became the sound of rushing water. Li You did not hang up. She took her phone to the bathroom to wash up. Brushing her teeth, washing her face, skincare and facial masks The next morning. It was a few minutes past seven. At this moment, Li You was still sleeping. MO Zhu held a dust bag in her hand and knocked twice on the door before entering. She first put the dust bag aside and walked to the bed. Her movements were still gentle as she lifted the blanket and reached out to brush away the messy hair on Li Yous face. Hurry up and get up. The Pei family is here. Li You opened her eyes. Whos here? MO Zhu cleared his voice and said, The Pei family is here to propose marriage. As soon as she finished speaking, Li You instantly woke up from her sleep. She suddenly sat up straight and turned to get out of bed. MO Zhu stopped her and couldnt help but laugh. Theyre on their way to propose. Hearing this, Li You, who was about to straighten up, suddenly sat down again. Mom, 1 thought I slept until late in the morning again. As she spoke, she picked up her phone and looked at it. The alarm hadnt rung yet. MO Zhu rubbed Li Yous face with both hands. If you wake up early, you can dress up early. If you wake up late, youll be in a panic. Then your appearance would not be exquisite. Given that her mothers words made sense, Li You did not argue. MO Zhu got up and went to get the dust bag. Inside was the little dress she had prepared for Li You. It had been ordered on the eve of her return and she had kept it from Li You. MO Zhu unzipped the dust bag and took out the burgundy dress inside. It was a high-end custom-made style and was expensive. It had been ironed in advance before it was delivered this morning. However, MO Zhu was worried. Before sending Li You in, she opened it and checked it carefully. Mom, what is this? Li You only saw an extremely bright color appear in front of her. She rubbed her eyes with one hand and reached out with the other to lift it to see what it was. She lifted it. There was something wrong with her expression. She lifted it again and suddenly looked up at her mother. Every frame of smile in MO Zhus eyes was so gentle. This is the engagement gown Mom ordered for you on the eve of your return. Take a look and see if you like it. Li You held the dress and was filled with joy. like it. Then get up quickly. Go wash up and come out to try. The size should be suitable. Mom has seen the changes in your figure in the past two years. Your father and I have been looking at the style for a long time. If it was sent over last night, we could let you try it in advance before sending it back to modify it. It might be too late this morning. After you wash up, come and try it quickly. If it doesnt fit anywhere, Mom will change it for you personally. As MO Zhu spoke, she urged Li You to wash up. Li You was not in a hurry to try it on. Instead, she put down her dress and reached out to hug MO Zhu. In a soft voice, she said, Thank you, Mom. MO Zhu patted the back of her shoulder. Mom has received your thank you. Hurry up and wash up. I will help you put on your makeup later. Ang- Okay. Li You carefully put the dress aside, got out of bed, and slipped into the bathroom. It took her two or three minutes to finish washing up. As soon as she came out, MO Zhu urged her to go in and do her skincare. Because she had to wear makeup for the entire day, her skin had to be moisturized to maintain its optimal state. Ten minutes later, Li You changed into the little dress that MO Zhu had prepared. Burgundy had always been called a high-level color. In recent years, burgundy had gradually become a tacky color, but when it came to marriage, burgundy was still an immutable standard. Because it represented joy, nobility, and the meaning was very important. Li You rarely wore burgundy dresses. Her skin was fair, and she could control any color. This time, she changed into a burgundy dress. In MO Zhus words, My daughter is so fair that she glows. Li You spun in front of MO Zhu. This is called Mom being good at giving birth. Mom still knows how to give birth. Your little mouth is smeared with honey, MO Zhu said. She went forward to help Li You see if the back of her waist was suitable. The little dress was a slim-fit design. The fabric was made of velvet, like the shoulder strap of a fishtail. There were very small pearls on the waist, making the entire burgundy dress look just right. It would also look more luxurious. Originally, the style that Mo Zhu saw was a princess-style dress. She also imagined that Li You would look cute and beautiful in it. However, after looking at a few more styles, MO Zhu changed her original idea.. Chapter 482 - Chapter 482: Past in Country T (15) Chapter 482: Past in Country T (15) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You was indeed still young, but this did not mean that she could only wear cute and sweet dresses. Now that her curves had grown to perfection, the front and back curves were very suitable for a slim dress. So in the end, MO Zhu chose this slim-fit dress. The length of the knee, the waist, and the curves were also outlined in detail. This dress was simply made for Li You. MO Zhu sighed at her unique taste. Your father originally valued that cuter one more, but after seeing this, our tastes matched. At that time, I thought of you in this dress. Yes, its the same as what I see now. Super, super beautiful. MO Zhu praised from the bottom of her heart. Li You was almost embarrassed by her mothers praise. Ill go look in the mirror. Go. MO Zhu said. During this period, MO Zhus gaze stayed on her daughter. Wherever her daughter went, her gaze followed. When Li You returned from looking at herself in the mirror, MO Zhu asked worriedly, Is it tight? Li You shook her head. No, its just right. With that, she pinched her waist with both hands and said, But if 1 had eaten a few more mouthfuls last night, it would probably be tight. MO Zhu reminded her, Then you cant eat too much during the day today. Its not that you cant eat your fill. You have to try your best to control your eating. Li You nodded. Okay. MO Zhu couldnt help but reach out and touch Li Yous cheek again. Bear with it for a while. Just for today. You can eat whatever you want tonight. Mom will make it for you. Mom, you must still think that Im a child Li You was about to cry. MO Zhus voice was still as gentle as ever. Mom is preparing her childs dowry now. At this moment, she did not know what words to use to describe her current mood. She had been pampered by her mother since she was a child. Whether she was studying, taking exams, or dating, her mother would never interfere in her life. Her mother would use all her gentleness to educate her to be a kind person, give her confidence, and teach her to love others while knowing how to love herself. Her mother was very, very good. She was the one and only best mother in the world. MO Zhu saw Li You sniffle and teased her gently, Youre not even married yet and youre already crying? Li You pouted. Im not crying. MO Zhu said, Yes, you didnt cry. Your voice was just as muffled as a mosquito. Li You smiled through her tears. When it was almost eight oclock, Guan Suling knocked on the door with Li Huaisheng. At this moment, MO Zhu was preparing to put on makeup for Li You. She knew that her daughter relied on her good skin and was very perfunctory with her skincare, so before putting on makeup, MO Zhu specially put on a new skincare routine for Li You. She heard a knock on the door. Li You was about to get up and open the door. MO Zhu pressed her shoulder gently. Just sit there obediently. Mom will open the door. Li You nodded. MO Zhu went over to open the door and saw her mother and husband outside. Li Huaisheng said, Uncle Cai just sent me a WeChat message. The Pei familys car is already outside Qjang Yue Garden. Nio Zhu said, They came so quickly. Li Huaisheng said, This is still a marriage proposal and engagement. If its the wedding day, theyll probably come before dawn. Guan Suling could not be bothered with the two of them. She went in to see Li You first. When Guan Suling entered and saw Li You in her little dress, she instantly smiled from ear to ear. As she walked forward, she praised, Youre really good-looking. My darling is really beautiful. Seeing that her grandmother had come in, Li You spun around in front of her. This is the dress Mom ordered for me. Guan Suling said, Ah Zhu has good taste. My darling looks the best in it. Then, Li Huaisheng and MO Zhu came in together. Li Huaisheng looked at his daughters dress and sighed. In the blink of an eye, my Little You is about to get married Li You said, Dad, were not married yet. Were just getting engaged. Li Huaishengs tone was still emotional. Isnt it the same? Back then, MO Zhu and Li Huaisheng got married late. MO Zhu was already 28 years old when she gave birth to Li You. Therefore, after giving birth to Li You, Li Huaisheng was determined not to have a second child, even though MO Zhu and Li Huaisheng had discussed whether to give Li You a younger brother or sister. At that time, MO Zhu did not want her daughter to be too lonely in the future. However, Li Huaisheng did not want MO Zhu to have another child. In fact, MO Zhus health was not good. Giving birth to Li You had already been a risk. She could not take another risk. Li You was born an only child. She grew up in the best family atmosphere and the happiest atmosphere. She was the apple of Li Huaisheng and his wifes eye. She had grown up being cared for and had never experienced the ups and downs of anyones life. Of course, Li Huaisheng also hoped that his most beloved daughter, the daughter who had grown up in his hands, his only daughter, would never suffer any hardship or ups and downs in her life. At the thought of this, Li Huaisheng took out a small box from his pocket and walked over. This is the engagement gift Dad prepared for you. Li You was pleasantly surprised. Dad? Although I have a straight face, Im not in a bad mood. Its just an engagement. I dont have to start paying attention now, Li Huaisheng said seriously. Hehe. Li You smiled and reached out to take it. She opened it and her eyes lit up. There was a golden little Pixiu lying in the box. Li Huaisheng saw the surprise on his daughters face and said, This Pixiu has been blessed. You have to bring it with you often. Li You nodded and closed it carefully. l will, I will. A Pixiu attracts wealth. It does attract wealth, but Dad wants you to have a Pixius life more, Li Huaisheng said. At this moment, Li You did not know what Pixius life meant. To attract more money? They heard that the Pei family had arrived outside the Li Mansion. Li Huaisheng and Guan Suling went out to welcome them first, while MO Zhu continued to help Li You finish her makeup. Li You could probably imagine the commotion downstairs. Pei Jingzhou should be dressed very formally today, right? He usually did not like to wear a tie, so he would definitely wear one today. After she was done with her makeup, MO Zhu reminded her, Look in the mirror. Li You looked up at herself in the mirror. MO Zhu said two words, Peerless beauty. Li You grinned. MO Zhu said, Dont smile like that. A gentle smile. Li You closed her mouth and smiled. MO Zhu nodded in satisfaction. Thats just right. A peerless beauty. As soon as she finished speaking, Li You stood up and walked out. MO Zhu was neither happy nor angry. Whats the hurry? Ill go take a look. Li You rushed out on her high heels. Instead of going straight downstairs, she looked down from the second floor. Uncle and Auntie Pei came. At this moment, Han Qianye was holding Pei Qingjis hand and chatting with Li Huaisheng and Guan Suling with a smile, but Pei Jingzhou was nowhere to be seen. The carpet and coffee table in the living room were already filled with betrothal gifts. Those betrothal gifts were simply too much for Li You to take in. She had missed the scene of those betrothal gifts moving in just now. Li You couldnt stand it anymore, She hurriedly glanced at the dazzling betrothal gifts and continued to search for Pei Jingzhou. Fiance, are you looking for me? Pei Jingzhous voice came from behind. Li You turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou, who was dressed in a formal suit, standing in front of her. She immediately asked, When did you come up? I didnt see you come up just now. Pei Jingzhou did not answer and looked at her in a daze.. Chapter 483 - Chapter 483: Past in Country T (16) Chapter 483: Past in Country T (16) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Every time Pei Jingzhou looked at Li You, his gaze was very restrained and gentle. But at this moment, the way he looked at Li You was straightforward and aggressive. And he did not hide his overly aggressive gaze. It brushed past her beautiful curves inch by inch. His gaze made Li You blush. She coughed unnaturally and called out, Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou came back to his senses and looked at her face again. Li You took half a step forward and gently poked Pei Jingzhous arm with her finger. Does it look good? Yes. Pei Jingzhous answer was without thought. Li You bit her lip and asked, Are you saying that I looked good or the dress looked good? Pei Jingzhou said, You. Li You was born to wear brightly colored clothes and dresses. In the past, when she attended, she would dress beautifully on certain occasions. However, at that time, she was mostly inexperienced and dressed like a girl. She rarely had a mature style. In the past few years overseas, her dressing style had changed a little, but she still rarely wore dresses with such bright colors. It was mainly because she was too bright. If she wore such bright colors again, she would look even more eye-catching, especially overseas. For the sake of her life, she had always worn low-key. At that time, she thought that when she married Pei Jingzhou in the future, she would definitely dress up differently every day and become a beautiful woman! At this moment, she was standing in front of Pei Jingzhou in a burgundy dress. She was beautiful. Pei Jingzhou was stunned. Li You slowly turned around under Pei Jingzhous burning gaze. Then, she looked up at him and said, After we get married, Ill often wear a red dress for you to see, okay? Pei Jingzhou reached out and grabbed her lower back, pulling her into his arms. l couldnt ask for more. Li You sneered and said what was on her mind. l still want to be a beautiful young married woman. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Of course. Huh? He agreed so readily? Shed expected a retort from him, given his possessive nature. She didnt expect him to agree right away. Li You asked again, Dont you think itll be too ostentatious? Perhaps. Pei Jingzhous voice was gentle. But youre Mrs. Pei. You can show off as much as you want. No one dares to say a word about you. Pei Jingzhou was not exaggerating. A few years ago, when the outside world talked about Pei Jingzhou, they all said how outstanding Pei Qingjis son was. Now that they were talking about Pei Jingzhou, they no longer used his fathers name and directly nominated him. And the meaning of his efforts was also to stand at the top. When others talked about his wife again, every word was with a respectful title. No one dared to underestimate her. The smile on Li Yous face became visible to the naked eye because of Pei Jingzhous words. She continued, Then Ill wear this style of dress every day after we get married. The length wont be the same every day. Ill also have to style my hair into big waves and put on red lipsticks. Itll be a completely different style. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. It seems that dressing has restricted you long enough in Country T. Its been quite a while, but Li You continued, Even if dressing in Country T doesnt restrict me, will you be at ease if I dress like I just said? Pei Jingzhou said truthfully, 1 1 m worried. How could he be at ease? At the thought of that scene, Pei Jingzhou almost went crazy. After being intimate on the second floor for a long time, the two of them went downstairs together. Li You followed Pei Jingzhou to see Uncle and Auntie Pei. Han Qianye was chatting with MO Zhu downstairs. It had been a long time since she had seen Li Huaisheng and his wife. However, she had always had a deep impression of Li Huaisheng and his wife. Li Huaisheng was a very outstanding diplomat and had a prominent family background. Li Huaishengs wife, MO Zhu, left a deeper impression on Han Qianye. When she was young, she was an outstanding figure and had even been the mayor of Shen City. Although she had a deep impression of Li Huaisheng and his wife, the Pei and Li families actually had no business dealings. The two families were not related. Back then, it was only because Han Pin brought Pei Jingzhou to the Capital University for a speech that Pei Jingzhou and Li You got to know each other. Speaking of which, Han Pin was their indirect matchmaker. However, at that time, Han Pin would never have thought that him bringing his nephew to Capital University by a whim would, by a freak combination of factors, arrange a marriage for his nephew. If he hadnt been so busy, he probably would have come today. Dad, Mom. Hearing her sons voice, Han Qianye turned around. Pei Qingji, who was beside her, also turned around. Pei Jingzhou brought Li You to Han Qianye and Pei Qingji. Mom, Dad, Little You is here, Li You looked at the two elders and called out sweetly, Uncle, Auntie. Han Qianye rarely saw Li You. When she saw the bright girl beside Pei Jingzhou, she was pleasantly surprised. She reached out to Li You. Little You, come here. Li You let go of Pei Jingzhous arm and placed her hand in Han Qianyes. A 1 Inf-ia Han Qianye responded and sized Li You up. Her voice was very gentle. l heard that you came back many times this year? Li You nodded. Yes, Ive been back a few times. I wanted to visit Uncle and Auntie, but unfortunately, you werent at home. l know that. When I came back, I heard Jingzhou mention it. Its really unfortunate. In the past few years, Ive had so much free time that Ive always wanted to travel. And it has caused you to miss us every time. As she spoke, Han Qianye turned around and took a box from Pei Qingji. She handed it to Li You. Aunties little gift. Take it. Li You subconsciously refused. Han Qianye stuffed the box into her palm and patted the back of her hand gently. You have to accept it. This scene was seen by MO Zhu and Li Huaisheng, who looked at each other and smiled. Pei Jingzhou also went forward and held Li Yous hand. At the same time, he grabbed the box. Mom gave it to you. Just accept it. Li You bit her lip and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Then, she thanked Han Qianye before accepting the gift. The gifts Han Qianye gave were all very expensive. Besides, this was an engagement gift from her future mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law. According to the rules and etiquette, the Pei family and the Li family should have a good relationship. This engagement ceremony should be very grand. However, after discussion, the two parties chose to keep the engagement ceremony simple and low-key. As long as the parents of the two families appeared, the engagement ceremony would be held directly after the marriage proposal. The ceremony was also very simple. Li You and Pei Jingzhou served sweet tea, also known as gaikou tea. Then, they would exchange engagement rings under the witness of the parents of both parties. There were no guests, only the families of the two closest parties. In the end, they raised their glasses and drank together at the round table banquet. This simple engagement ceremony was completed perfectly. Han Qianye said, The engagement ceremony is complete. Next, Qingji and I will start preparing for this grand wedding. Yes, everyone was looking forward to this wedding. Li You imagined how much she would look forward to the day of her wedding to Pei Jingzhou. She just didnt know that her expectations would be shattered by nightmares before long.. Chapter 484 - Chapter 484: Past in Country T (17) Chapter 484: Past in Country T (17) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On this special day, Li Huaisheng submitted an application for fireworks in advance. After the approval, clusters of fireworks bloomed in the night sky. To Li You, who had not seen fireworks for a long time, the scene in front of her was spectacular. At this moment, she was wearing a burgundy dress and a cashmere coat of the same color. She was standing beside Pei Jingzhou. She raised her hand and pointed at the fireworks in the sky. Look, doesnt this cluster look like a golden chrysanthemum? Pei Jingzhou saw the cluster of fireworks Li You was pointing at and replied, Yes, but it can also be said that its in the shape of a golden chrysanthemum. No wonder. 1 remember that the fireworks Ive seen in the past seem to be in the shape of golden chrysanthemums right? Its been too long since Ive seen fireworks. I almost forgot. Her tone was coquettish, soft, and lively like a child. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. The fireworks youve seen before are also in the shape of golden chrysanthemums. You didnt remember wrongly. Li You immediately laughed smugly. Seeing that she was smiling so happily, Pei Jingzhou couldnt help but call her name. Li You. At this moment, Li You was looking up at the beautiful fireworks in the night sky. When she heard Pei Jingzhou call her, even though she could not see the fireworks anymore, she still retracted her gaze and turned to look at him. Huh? Pei Jingzhou said to her under the fireworks, Were engaged today. The sound of fireworks did not drown out Pei Jingzhous voice. His words, Were engaged today, clearly entered Li Yous ears. How could Li You not respond to such a formal sentence from him? Hence, she clasped her hands and said, Congratulations. Pei Jingzhou smiled gently. Congratulations, fiance. That word fiance really landed on Li Yous mind. It was still so pleasant to hear. She gently pressed down on Pei Jingzhous arms and stood on tiptoe. As he was almost out of reach, Pei Jingzhou knew what she was going to do and slowly lowered his head. Li You raised her neck and took the initiative to kiss Pei Jingzhous lips. They embraced and kissed affectionately as that largest cluster of fireworks bloomed in the night sky and formed the letters [LOVE]. Li Huaisheng took out his cell phone, but he was too embarrassed to take a photo. After clicking on the camera, he handed the phone to his wife. Do the recording. Its not a bad idea to make such a precious and important scene into their wedding vlog in the future. To be honest, MO Zhu was too embarrassed to take this scene. However, when she heard her husband say this, she immediately felt that there was a need to record it. It would indeed be good to make it a wedding vlog on the day of the two childrens wedding. Hence, MO Zhu raised her cell phone and recorded the entire scene of Li You and Pei Jingzhou hugging and kissing. After the engagement, Li You followed her parents back to Country T. Her studies would be completed in more than a year. When her studies were completed, she could return to China to work and get married to Pei Jingzhou. At that time, Pei Jingzhou would no longer have to be so tiring. She could also accompany him for a long time. She planned her future very well and looked forward to every day she planned in the future, But in the end, plans could not keep up with changes. What happened to her a year later directly reversed her life trajectory and fate Time flew. This day had finally arrived. Li You had just finished her translation work at the press conference. When she came out with Father Li, he received a call from the hospital. Li You could not hear the contents of the call. She only saw the smile on Father Lis face slowly fade. The call ended. Li Huaishengs expression darkened, and Li You frowned. She asked worriedly, Dad, did something happen? Li Huaisheng did not say anything to Li You. When he called Gu Lanshi over in a low voice, he instructed, In the afternoon, you will represent the embassy in the negotiations. Gu Lanshi was a little surprised. Me? Li Huaisheng asked, Can you handle it well? Originally, Li Huaisheng was the one who personally participated in the negotiation. Now, he had no choice but to let Gu Lanshi take over. He had something very important to do and had to leave to deal with it. Gu Lanshi naturally sensed it too. In order to let his teacher not have too many worries, he nodded and agreed. No problem, teacher. I can handle it. Li Huaisheng nodded. Then Ill leave first. Remember to bring Little You along when you return to the embassy later. Dont leave her here alone. Gu Lanshi agreed. Okav. There was no need for Li Huaisheng to remind him. Gu Lanshi would remember to bring Li You along wherever he went. Especially since his teacher had left early today, as her senior brother, he naturally had to be responsible for bringing his junior sister back. Li You watched her father leave. She did not even know why he was in such a hurry to leave. For a moment, she was worried. Senior Gu, do you know why my father was in such a hurry to leave? Gu Lanshi shook his head. Im not sure, but Teacher left in such a hurry. There must be something very important. That goes without saying. Only something very important would make my father leave in such a hurry. I just dont know what it is. Whether its serious or not, whether it has anything to do with Mom. Recently, I keep feeling that Moms health isnt very good. When I care about her, she says its nothing At this point, when Li You turned to look at Gu Lanshi, her tone was muffled. Ever since Mom and Dad returned from the neighboring countries a month ago, she often looks very pale. I said that I wanted to take her to the hospital for a checkup, but I was always brushed off. Senior Gu, do you think my parents deliberately hid something from me? Gu Lanshi pursed his lips in silence. Did the teacher and his wife deliberately hide anything from Li You? To be honest, he really did not know. However, he also realized that his teacher had been distracted when he was working recently, especially in the past month or so of work. In the past, even if there was such a situation, it would only be for two or three days at most. And that was because he had been scolded by his teachers wife. This time he didnt know why. Senior Brother Gu? Li You frowned and shouted. Gu Lanshi came back to his senses and quickly said to Li You, Perhaps youre thinking too much. Besides, in my opinion, you should be the one in a bad state. Youve been participating in the hosting of the literary event for more than a week. You should be tired, but you dont think so. Really? Li You was skeptical and muttered to herself, But I feel quite relaxed these two days. Im not tired at all. Gu Lanshi smiled. See, I told you you should be tired, but you dont think so yourself. Li You did not refute. Thinking about it, Gu Lanshis words made sense. Perhaps this was it? She hoped so too! She was the one who was so tired, so tired she didnt know it, that she had some bad fantasies. She always expected something bad to happen. She waved away these terrible intuitions and told herself it was just an illusion. She should rest well when she gets home today. After work at night, Li You came out of the embassy and saw Pei Jingzhou waiting for her.. Chapter 485 - Chapter 485: Past in Country T (18) Chapter 485: Past in Country T (18) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou! When Li You saw Pei Jingzhou, the haze above her head dissipated. She slung her bag over her arm and ran quickly in Pei Jingzhous direction. She ran to Pei Jingzhou and stopped, panting. Pei Jingzhou reached out and tidied her bangs that were messed up by the wind. He deliberately teased, Its only been two days since we last met. Do you miss me so much? Li You looked depressed. She threw herself into Pei Jingzhous arms and hugged him. Pei Jingzhou, Im in a bad mood. Pei Jingzhous slowly raised hand froze. The words of concern were on his lips, but he did not ask a single question. It was not appropriate to stand here and talk. He took her hand. Get in the car first. She obediently followed Pei Jingzhou into the car. In Country T, Pei Jingzhou drove himself. Li You sat in the front passenger seat. Pei Jingzhou adjusted the route to go to the hotel he always stayed at. Along the way, Li You told Pei Jingzhou about her suspicious guesses. After saying that, she even asked, Do you also think that Im letting my imagination run wild? The traffic light was ahead, and the car slowly stopped. Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways. Youre not wrong to be worried about your mother. This isnt letting your imagination run wild. Also, havent you always trust your intuition? These words reminded Li You. Yeah, shed always trusted her intuition. But this time, she was actually convincing herself that it was an illusion of her imagination running wild. Pei Jingzhou adjusted the GPS. His destination was Li Yous address. Im not sure what happened just now. Since I know the general situation, its better to go back to your house first. Li You nodded. Thats good. Before 1 left the consulate just now, I called Mom. She said she was at home. Pei Jingzhou said, Its good that Auntie is at home. Youll be at ease when you see her later. These words were also to comfort Li You. After a ten-minute drive, they arrived at Li Yous address. Pei Jingzhou parked the car and got out to accompany Li You. As soon as she walked into the neighborhood and saw the dark two-story windows, Li Yous expression collapsed. Pei Jingzhou, theres no one at home. Pei Jingzhou naturally saw it too. Li You took out her phone and called Father Pei, but he did not pick up. She called Mother Pei again. The system voice message told her that it was not convenient for the other party to pick up the call for the time being. Li You was clearly anxious. She had called her mother before she left the consulate. At the time, her mother had answered her call and said that she was at home. But when she called again now, no one answered. She was so anxious that her face turned pale. She paced back and forth, eager and calling her mothers number repeatedly. Pei Jingzhou grabbed her arm and stopped her from pacing back and forth. He gently comforted her anxious mood. Dont be anxious. Uncle and Auntie must have something on. They cant answer the phone for the time being. It had better be like this, but when 1 called Mom ten minutes ago, Niom even answered my call Li You was so anxious that she was about to cry. After she made five or six unanswered calls, Li You received a call back from her father. When she saw the name Dad on the caller ID, the weight on Li Yous mouth suddenly lightened. When she picked up the phone, she suppressed her tears. Dad.. Li Huaishengs tired voice came from the phone. Little You, dont worry. Your mother is fine. Im staying by her side. For Li You, who did not know anything yet, Father Lis words undoubtedly confused her. She asked hesitantly, Whats wrong with Mom? Li Huaisheng did not want to tell Li You this cruel truth over the phone, so he only told her the hospital address. After hanging up, Li You was so distracted that her cell phone almost fell to the ground. Pei Jingzhou did not hear the conversation between Li You and her father. He took the phone from her and gently pulled her into his arms. Dont think too much about it first. Do you remember how often you mention Murphys Law to me? The more you think about bad things, the more they will happen. Dont think about those bad things. Do you want to stay at home and wait for them to come back, or do you need to go somewhere? Li Yous eyes were red as she pressed her forehead against Pei Jingzhous chest. Mom is in the hospital. Pei Jingzhou put his arm around her back. Since Uncle told you that Auntie is in the hospital, he must have told you the address of the hospital. Do you want to go to the hospital or stay at home and wait for them to come back? Li You replied firmly, To the hospital. Pei Jingzhou agreed. Okay, well go now. On the way to the hospital, Li You was very silent. She almost did not say a word. She thought about Pei Jingzhous reminder not to think about those terrible things. The more she thought about it, the easier it was for them to happen. Why not calm down and wait until she sees her mother in the hospital? Pei Jingzhou did not drive very fast and arrived at the hospital at a constant speed. Before getting out of the car, Pei Jingzhou received a call. Seeing the caller ID, Pei Jingzhou glanced at Li You. Li You was very sensitive now. Pei Jingzhou glanced at her and guessed that this call should be from her father. She was right. It was her father. She subconsciously looked at her cell phone. It was not switched off and the signal was good. However, her father must have something to tell Pei Jingzhou alone. He had to avoid her and not let her hear it. Li You suppressed the urge to take the cell phone from Pei Jingzhous hand and said in a low voice, Answer it. Pei Jingzhou nodded and picked up Father Li t s call in front of Li You. Li You did not deliberately want to hear what her father said to Pei Jingzhou. She only paid attention to Pei Jingzhous expression. Unfortunately, Pei Jingzhous expression had always been reserved. She could not see any changes. When the call ended, Pei Jingzhou put away his cell phone. Under Li Yous urgent gaze, he said, Uncle told me the ward number. Li You felt a lump in her throat. Is there nothing else? Pei Jingzhou looked at her eager expression and suppressed his softened heart. Theres nothing else. Li You did not ask again. On the way in, she was still very quiet. She did not ask Pei Jingzhou all sorts of questions and walked obediently beside him until she arrived at the floor where her mother was hospitalized. In the long corridor, she saw Father Li, who had become extremely haggard after not seeing him for only an afternoon. There was still a long way to go between them. She was stunned for a long time before she called out, Dad. When Li Huaisheng heard Li Yous voice, he looked over. He seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. Only when Li You appeared did a very difficult smile appear on his face. However, to Li You, it was a smile that was uglier than crying. Dad. Dad Her cries were very loud. She let go of Pei Jingzhous hand and walked towards Father Li while sobbing. Her face was filled with grievance, and her mouth was pouting. Just like when she had been wronged when she was young and went to look for her father to support her, she walked to her father while sobbing. When she approached Father Li and had yet to cry about why they did not pick up after calling so many times, she choked on the words. Because through the single pane of glass in the ward door, she saw her mother lying on the bed in the ward, wearing a ventilator.. Chapter 486 - Chapter 486: Past in Country T (19) Chapter 486: Past in Country T (19) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You almost lost her balance. The moment her body swayed, it was as if she would collapse at any moment. Pei Jingzhou went forward to support her. His joints bent and gripped her small arm tightly to prevent her from losing her support and falling to the ground. She used Pei Jingzhous help to turn to look at Father Li, who was standing at the side. She asked hoarsely, What happened to Mom? Li Huaisheng said, Your mother is fine. Li Yous voice was even hoarser than before, and she spoke faster. Dad, Im already at the hospital. Can you not hide it from me? Faced with her choked question, Li Huaisheng still did not tell Li You anything. He only said, Go in and see her first. With that, he said to Pei Jingzhou, who was beside Li You, Take care of her. l will. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Li You did not understand why her father was still unwilling to tell her anything at this moment when she had already come to the hospital. But her father didnt say anything. She couldnt question him hysterically. Her mothers illness wasnt just her pain. Her fathers heart ached even more After Li You entered the ward, Li Huaisheng did not follow her in for a long time. There was an indescribable sadness in his eyes as he stared at the glass window on the ward door for a long time. The huge ward was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant. There was a heart apparatus at the head of the bed that would beep from time to time. MO Zhu, who was lying on the bed with a ventilator, was sleeping. Li You did not make a sound as she walked towards the bed. She stood quietly by the bed and looked at her mothers sleeping face. Pei Jingzhou did not disturb her and stayed quietly by her side. After an unknown period of time, MO Zhu woke up faintly. She opened her tired eyes and vaguely saw two figures standing beside her bed. Her lips opened and closed a few times, as if she wanted to say something. A thin layer of mist quickly covered the ventilator. Li You saw her mother wake up and leaned down. Mom, its me. Nio Zhu blinked. This meant that she was awake and knew that the person talking to her was Li You. Li Yous voice was heavy. Do you want some water? Nio Zhu shook her head gently. Her movements were very small, and Li You could understand. However, when she saw her mother wake up, she always wanted to do something or say something. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but her throat was so dry that she swallowed them. Seeing her daughters worried expression, MO Zhus slightly pursed lips curled up a little, using this smiling expression to show that she was fine. However, this did not comfort Li You. She shook her head and said, How can you be fine? You were suddenly hospitalized. Before this, you didnt even tell me anything. You even hid it from me with Dad The more she spoke, the more choked she became. You were fine before 1 went out this morning. And you asked me what I wanted to eat for dinner She tried not to cry, but she couldnt stop the choking sound. The next moment, shed be crying. MO Zhus lips moved as he tried to make a sound, but it seemed very difficult to make a sound under the ventilator. Seeing this, Li You was anxious. She stopped saying those words and quickly stopped her. Mom, dont speak first. You have to rest well. With that, she remembered her father, who was still outside the ward. She quickly said to her mother, Mom, Ill go tell Dad that youre awake. MO Zhu blinked. Okay. Li You could tell that her mother also wanted to see her father. She hurriedly stood up and took a step forward. Pei Jingzhou, who had been standing behind her, grabbed her wrist. Just stay by Aunties side. Ill inform Uncle No! Li You interrupted Pei Jingzhou. She looked up at Pei Jingzhou and said firmly, Ill tell Dad that Mom is awake. Pei Jingzhou looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. He let go of Li Yous wrist and let her out. Outside the ward. Li Huaisheng sat quietly in the waiting chair against the wall. He maintained the same posture for a long time, so long that his body seemed to be a little stiff. However, he did not adjust his posture. His body seemed to have its soul extracted and was as motionless as a statue. Until Li You slowly walked to his side and called out softly, Dad. Li Huaisheng came back to his senses when he heard Li Yous voice. He looked at Li You beside him. The moment he saw Li You, his stiff face softened. He asked, Is your mother awake? Li You nodded. Yes, Mom is awake. Li Huaisheng slowly stood up. It was unknown if it was because he had been sitting in this position for too long, but when he stood up, he almost lost his balance. Li You quickly reached out to help him. After Li Huaisheng stabilized himself, he waved his hand and said, Theres no need to help me. Im not old enough to have someone help me stand. If Li Huaisheng had said such a thing normally, he would have said it in the most relaxed tone and in a joking tone. But at this moment, every word sounded so heavy to Li You. Li Huaisheng was about to walk into the ward when Li You stopped him and asked, Dad, whats wrong with Mom? Li Huaisheng stopped in his tracks. Seeing this, Li You took two steps forward and stood beside Li Huaisheng. She asked again, What happened to Mom? Li Huaisheng looked sideways at Li You. At this moment, Li You saw an emotionless expression on her fathers face. Ever since she grew up, she had never seen such an expression on her fathers face. Time passed second by second. Just as Li You thought that her father would still not tell her anything, she heard her fathers hoarse words Its leukemia. These short words were like thunder to Li You. The truth she desperately wanted to know was laid out in front of her without warning. Only then did she know that she was at a loss and helpless even in the face of the truth. However, other than shock, what was left was disbelief. How is that possible? She shook her head, not believing the truth shed heard from her father herself. However, Li Huaisheng did not give her a more definite answer. He went into the ward in silence, leaving Li You standing helplessly. She shook her head. Once, twice, three times until the tears that filled her eyes slid silently down her cheeks. Large drops fell. She took a breath and told herself, It cant be. It must be a misdiagnosis. It must be How can it be leukemia? Mom has always been so healthy. How can it be? She refused to believe this ridiculous truth. She convinced herself that it was a misdiagnosis! It must be a misdiagnosis!! She immediately turned to look for the doctor. Not knowing where the doctors office was, she asked as she walked. Finally, she asked if the doctors office was at the end of the corridor. As soon as she entered the office, she asked loudly Whos MO Zhus attending doctor? Chapter 487 - Chapter 487: Past in Country T (20) Chapter 487: Past in Country T (20) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At this moment, a male doctor in a white coat walked over from his seat and asked in very pure local language, Is Ms. MO Zhu awake? Li You nodded. Yes, my mother is awake. I want to know how her condition is. The doctor raised his glasses from the bridge of his nose. Whats your relationship with Ms. MO Zhu? Li You said, Im her daughter. After knowing the relationship between the person in front of her and MO Zhu, the doctors expression turned serious. He told Li You everything about MO Zhus current situation. The doctor did not speak quickly, but Li You was still in a daze because she heard the most terrifying words. Late stage Her throat was dry, and her hands couldnt stop shaking at her sides. Even if she heard it from the doctors own mouth, she still didnt want to believe the fact that was right in front of her. She murmured, But until now, my mother had been in good health and wed always lived together. How could that be? There was no sign of it at all The doctor understood the patients familys doubts. Therefore, the doctor told Li You the reason why MO Zhu had leukemia. It was a virus from a neighboring country that had messed up the hematopoietic function in MO Zhus body and she did not notice it immediately. That was why it quickly developed into the late stage without any warning. Neighboring country When Li You heard about the virus in the neighboring country, she immediately remembered that not long ago, her mother had indeed gone to the neighboring country around Country T with her father. The doctor understood the familys mood at this moment. Although late-stage leukemia was terrifying, late-stage leukemia could also be transplanted into bone marrow, so this did not mean that there was no hope. The doctors words reminded Li You, Since youre Ms. MO Zhus daughter, you can try to do a bone marrow puncture match for your mother. Li Yous eyes lit up. l can do it too. Any time. 1 can do it now. I can do it immediately. Not now. We have to wait until tomorrow. You have to be prepared in advance The doctor spoke at length. After saying that, the doctor had to remind Li You again, Although you are Ms. MO Zhus daughter and there is a high chance that you will successfully match your mothers bone marrow, this doesnt mean that you will definitely succeed. You have to relax. If you dont succeed in the end, you can wait patiently for a donation response after asking for help. Half a month ago, Li Huaisheng had already initiated a bone marrow donation request. Before asking for help, Li Huaisheng had already completed the bone marrow match with MO Zhu, but it did not succeed. After hearing the doctors words, Li You realized that her father had endured so much alone in the past half a month. Although the doctor had told her the worst possible scenario, she still had high hopes. She came out of the doctors office. Li Yous mind was filled with thoughts of bone marrow puncture. She did not even see Pei Jingzhou standing in front of her and almost bumped into him. After being grabbed by Pei Jingzhou, she came back to her senses and murmured, Why are you here? Pei Jingzhou said, After Uncle went in, I came out. 1 was behind you just now. You and the doctor were talking inside, and I was outside. Li You nodded and lowered her head. She said softly to Pei Jingzhou, Ive already found out about Moms condition from the doctor. Pei Jingzhou said, l heard it. Li You suddenly looked up at Pei Jingzhou and said firmly, My bone marrow will definitely match Moms. Pei Jingzhou said, l can try mine too. Li You threw herself into Pei Jingzhous arms. The emotions she had been suppressing for a long time burst at this moment. Pei Jingzhou Pei Jingzhou raised his arm and placed it between her back shoulders. Im here. Li You did not leave the hospital that night. She stayed in the ward. Although she had asked Pei Jingzhou to go back and rest many times, Pei Jingzhou did not leave. He stayed by her side in silence. Father Li also sat by the bed like a stone statue and sat quietly for the entire night. After a long night, at dawn the next day, the light of dawn shone through the shadows of the sycamore trees outside the window. The ground was mottled. Li You tiptoed to the bed. Her mother wasnt awake yet. Her father was still sitting in a sitting position. He had not changed much the entire night. However, Li You realized that her fathers raven-black hair seemed to have turned much whiter after this night Pei Jingzhou suggested that he do the bone marrow puncture first. Li Yous heart ached, but she had no choice, because she did not want to let go of any chance to save her mother. Pei Jingzhou cooperated and took a few tubes of blood. Then, it was bone marrow puncture surgery. This was also a surgery. Although it would not leave any scars, there was a risk of probability. Li You followed Pei Jingzhou the entire time. When Pei Jingzhou came out of the surgery, the first thing she asked was, Does it hurt? Pei Jingzhou had only undergone a local anesthesia, so he was very awake. When he came out of the operating theater, he saw that Li You was worried about him. He couldnt take care of himself, but he still reached out and rubbed her cheek. 1 dont feel anything. Nonsense. If you really dont feel anything at all, somethings going to happen. Her voice was muffled. In order to reassure her, Pei Jingzhou said softly, Its a local anesthesia. I dont feel anything for the time being. It might hurt a little when the anesthesia disappears. Li Yous eyes turned red. Pei Jingzhou said, l told the truth because I was afraid youd be worried. Dont cry. She fought back the tears that crawled out and nodded obediently. Mm. Entering the operating theater had always been a terrifying thing for Li You, but this time, it was for her mother. No matter how many times she entered, she did not feel afraid. When Pei Jingzhou was resting, she entered the operating theater. Li You and Pei Jingzhou did not hide the fact that they had a bone marrow puncture. Father Li knew about it. And it would take two days to get the results of the bone marrow puncture. Li You stayed in the hospital for the past two days and did not go anywhere. Pei Jingzhou ran between the capital and Country T. Madam Di Xin came a few times during this period, and Yu Hewei and Gu Lanshi also came twice. The MO family, who were far away in the capital, did not know about MO Zhus current situation. That afternoon, Madam Di Xin, who had come in the morning, came again in the afternoon. Li You had just finished answering Pei Jingzhous call and was about to get some water when Pei Jingzhou told her on the phone that he would arrive tonight and asked her to sleep early. Tomorrow was the day the results of the bone marrow puncture would be out. Thinking about tomorrow, Li Yous abdomen hurt again. She didnt know if it was because of her mood these past two days, but her menstrual period that had been delayed for so long came, yet she didnt have much blood. Her abdomen hurt even more than usual. She took a sanitary pad and bumped into Madam Di Xin as soon as she came out of the ward. She called out politely, Madam Di Xin. Madam Di Xin looked at Li Yous pale face, It was about the same as in the morning. Thinking about how she had asked her about the situation in the morning, she realized that her period had come. It was clearly a normal thing, but Madam Di Xin was still a little worried. Knowing that this girl would definitely not ask the doctor, she specially came again to take her to ask the doctor and check again. Hence, Madam Di Xin grabbed Li Yous wrist. Follow me. Li You was a little confused. She didnt know what Madam Di Xin was doing. Until Madam Di Xin brought her to the gynecology department on the other floor. When she saw the gynecology department, she subconsciously thought that Madam Di Xin wanted her to accompany her for some checkup. However, she heard Madam Di Xin say, Tell the doctor about your condition and see if you want to do a checkup. Your mother will be angry if she finds out that you dragged your sick body around for her. You know that your mother cant be angry now. Li You subconsciously resisted. 1 dont want to go. Im fine. No, you have to go in. If you dont, Ill tell your mother. Madam Di Xin reminded Li You with MO Zhu. This forced Li You to compromise. Because her mother really couldnt be angry now. She went in at last.. Chapter 488 - Chapter 488: Past in Country T (21) Chapter 488: Past in Country T (21) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Yous face was very pale, and her lips were almost pale. She looked very haggard. After asking Li You about some other situations, the doctor gave Li You a list and asked her to take a blood test. Li You was in a daze. As soon as she took the list, she heard the doctor say that she wanted to take a blood test. She asked in a panic, Why do you want a blood test? The doctor frowned and said to Li You, Youre already 20 years old. Why dont you care about your health at all? Your current condition is a little dangerous, do you know? Li You asked in confusion, Whats wrong with my body? The doctor said in a serious tone, Based on the amount of blood youre bleeding now, its abnormal in itself. As you said just now, its never been like this before. Even the pain is different from before. In the past, it was waves of menstrual pain that fell. This time, its an abdominal cramp. My preliminary speculation is that you might be pregnant. Preliminary speculation is that you might be pregnant The doctors last few words were like thunder to Li You. She shook her head. No way. I cant be pregnant. The doctor looked even more serious than before. Then do you have a boyfriend or not? Li You was stunned and did not answer the question. Actually, the doctor had asked this question just now, after asking about her symptoms. At that time, she thought that she might have some gynecological illness. Her common sense told her that girls who lived with their lovers were indeed more prone to some gynecological illness than girls who lived alone, so she confessed that she had a boyfriend. And now the doctor asked again. Because he speculated that she was pregnant Seeing that Li You did not answer her question for a long time, the doctor did not continue asking. He only reminded her, Then go for a blood test first. Just calm down and wait for the results. l know. She nodded. Even though Li You was still unwilling to believe the doctors speculation, she could only cooperate and go for a blood test first. She walked extremely slowly a few steps out of the doctors office. Her abdomen seemed to hurt even more. Seeing her come out, Madam Di Xin, who had been waiting outside, went forward and asked, What did the doctor say? Li You showed Madam Di Xin the list the doctor had given her. The doctor speculated that Im pregnant. Madam Di Xins hand froze as she took the list. She looked at Li You. Youre pregnant? Li Yous lips pressed down. It was obvious that she could not hold back her tears. The doctor speculated that I might be pregnant based on my symptoms But how could I be pregnant at this time Apart from being unable to believe that she was really pregnant, she was wondering what she would do at this time if she was Her mother was still waiting for her bone marrow to save her life. If she was really pregnant, could she still keep the child in her womb Madam Di Xin was also very clear about Li Yous current situation. She said calmly, Listen to the doctor first. Go and wait for the results of the blood test. Ill pay for you and buy you a pregnancy test. Li You tightened her grip on the list in her hand. Okay. A few minutes later, Li You lowered her sleeve and looked at the tube of blood in the nurses hand. She remembered that she had had a bone marrow puncture two days ago. Her heart suddenly tightened and she asked hesitantly, What would happen if a bone marrow puncture was done without knowing that I was pregnant? The nurse glanced at Li You. Its not impossible, but I dont recommend it. If your physique isnt good, its easy to miscarry. Also, anesthesia will affect the fetus in your womb. Li You asked anxiously, What impact? Nurse: It will affect the growth and development of the fetus, and its very likely that it will cause deformities. With that, the nurse looked at Li You deeply and asked, Are you planning to do a bone marrow puncture match in the near future? Li You did not tell the truth. She smiled and shook her head. Im just curious. The nurse reminded her, If you have this in mind, I suggest you think carefully before you decide. Li You understood that the nurse was reminding her nicely, but it was too late to remember the nurses words. She had already had a bone marrow puncture match without knowing that she was pregnant. Perhaps her current situation was not caused by stress and emotions. It was caused by her bone marrow puncture match Li You finished drawing blood and walked out in a daze. Madam Di Xin had already bought the pregnancy test paper and was waiting for Li You. Seeing Li You appear, Madam Di Xin walked forward and handed the pregnancy test paper box to Li You. Take a self-test first and wait for the blood test results. took it and thanked Madam Di Xin. Madam Di Xin sighed and did not say anything. Then, Li You went to the bathroom. Because she had never used a pregnancy test paper before, the wait was not as difficult as she had thought after reading the instructions carefully. The moment she saw the results, she was not as shocked and out of control as she had been at first. Those two lines made her calmly accept that she was pregnant. She threw the pregnancy test in the trash can and came out to wash her hands. The moment she looked up, she saw her pale face in the mirror. Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, she slowly walked out of the washroom. Madam Di Xin went forward to care for her immediately. How did Li You said calmly, Two lines. This outcome was within Madam Di Xins expectations. Ever since the doctor speculated that Li You might be pregnant, Madam Di Xin had an idea. Li Yous condition was so bad, it shouldnt be because of her menstrual disorder. Her intuition was right. Seeing that Li You looked calm on the surface, but her hands were trembling violently, Madam Di Xin pulled Li You to the waiting chair against the wall and sat down. Madam Di Xin held Li Yous hand and said seriously, The pregnancy test paper has already told you the results. Its actually the same whether you wait for the blood test results or not. It wont change anything. The point is that your physical condition is very bad now and you need to rest quietly. Little You, you can tell me your thoughts now. Do you want to keep this child? Li You suppressed the emotion that threatened to break down at any moment. l dont know. Madam Di Xin said, You have to make a decision. Li You was silent. Madam Di Xin said slowly, This question is very pale for your current situation. If nothing had happened to your mother, everything would be on track for you. You probably wouldnt hesitate to keep this child, but your current situation Li You held her aching abdomen. Ill think about it carefully. Madam Di Xin nodded. Alright. After saying that, she thought of something and reminded Li You, You can choose not to tell your parents about your pregnancy for the time being, but I suggest you tell Pei Jingzhou. He has the right to know. Li You held her stomach and stood up. 1 understand. She dragged herself back upstairs to her mothers ward, enduring a cramp in her lower abdomen. The ventilator on MO Zhus face had been removed. Other than looking a little pale, she was actually in a good state. Li Huaisheng had always been by MO Zhus side and took care of her meticulously.. Chapter 489 - Chapter 489: Past in Country T (22) Chapter 489: Past in Country T (22) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In order not to let her emotions affect her mother, Li You forced a smile every time she came into the ward. She didnt want her mother to see her grimace. It would also affect her mothers mood. Little You. She trudged to the door and heard her mother call out to her. Come here quickly. MO Zhu waved at Li You. Li Yous facial muscles stiffened. She forced herself to smile and slowly walked in. MO Zhu was half-sitting on the bed. Just now, she had been chatting with Li Huaisheng about too many unpredictable things. In fact, it could be considered an afterthought. Li Huaisheng could not stand this and was in an extremely bad mood. When Li You finally came in, MO Zhu took the initiative to break the silent and oppressive atmosphere. Li You had just walked to the bed when she saw her father get up. He looked away and said, You two can talk. Im going to the bathroom. With that, as if afraid that his daughter would see his red eyes, he rushed to the bathroom. MO Zhu sighed helplessly. She looked up at Li You and reached out to her. Come sit beside Mom. Li You placed her hand in her mothers and sat down beside her bed. Mom, are you feeling better? Much better. Nothings wrong. MO Zhu looked at Li You lovingly. She raised her other hand and gently touched Li Yous cheek. Your father is angry with me. Her tone was light, but it sounded uncomfortable to Li You. Dad doesnt want to hear those depressing words. Youll be fine. Youll be fine soon after the transplant. MO Zhu put her hand down and asked gently, Have you already made a match? Li You had no intention of hiding this matter. Because Dad knew, and he had always been by Moms side. As long as Mom asked a few more questions, Dad would definitely tell her. She nodded in acknowledgment. Already did. MO Zhu was not angry. She was just worried about Li Yous body. Did you feel any discomfort after the puncture? Li You shook her head and said, No, Im in good health. MO Zhus gaze traced Li Yous face inch by inch. Her heart ached as she said, But your complexion looks terrible. Look at your lips. Theres no color. Li You bit her lip, as if trying to hide the pallor that was visible to the naked eye. She explained, Im fine. Its just that Im probably too worried about you. In addition, I havent slept well for the past two nights. Then you have to go home and sleep tonight. How can you sleep well in the hospital? MO Zhu reminded Li You repeatedly, Listen to Mom. Go home later and sleep early tonight. Dont worry about me. The doctor said that I can be discharged after staying for two more days. Li You shook her head stubbornly. l wont. Mo Zhu smiled bitterly. Is it because Im sick and dont have the strength to shout at you that you can disobey me? Li You shook her head again. MO Zhu said gently, Go back and rest early. Sleep well and come back tomorrow, okay? Li You was very reluctant, but in order not to anger her mother, she nodded obediently. l understand. Seeing that Li You obediently agreed, MO Zhu smiled in relief. Thats good. Mom wont be angry anymore. Mother and daughter chatted for a long time. When Madam Di Xin came in, Li You realized that it was time to get the results of the blood test. Madam Di Xin stayed, and she found an excuse to leave. When she appeared in front of the doctor, the doctor looked clearly anxious. Where are you going? No one answered my call just now. Li You had never heard the phone ring. She fumbled for her phone. The doctor quickly said, Dont hold your cell phone for now. With that, he handed a report to Li You. Youre indeed pregnant. Li You was calm when she heard this result. She was as calm as when she saw the two bars on the pregnancy test paper. But what the doctor said right on the heels of that made her unable to calm down. The doctor said, Youre four weeks pregnant, but youre showing signs of a precursor miscarriage. You need to lie in bed and rest now and observe the symptoms. If the situation is serious, you have to get an IV to protect the baby. You cant go wandering around again. Li You had recovered from the fact that she was pregnant. Now, she was immediately forced to accept the possibility that she could have a miscarriage at any moment. The doctor called Li Yous name twice. Li You came back to her senses. If she listened carefully, she could definitely hear that her voice was trembling. Is it because I had a bone marrow puncture? The doctor was shocked. You even had a bone marrow puncture? Li You confessed. The doctor was very angry, but this was the patients private matter. No matter how angry he was, he could not predict or change anything in advance. He only reminded Li You repeatedly that she had to stay in bed to rest and protect the baby. Otherwise, the situation would be critical. By then, it would be too late. There wouldnt even be a chance to regret it. When she came out of the doctors office, she folded and put away the report. She remembered everything the doctor had repeatedly instructed her to do. She returned to her mothers ward again and told her mother and father that she would go home first. MO Zhu was worried that she would obediently say that she wanted to go home and insisted that her father send her back At this moment, Madam Di Xin stood up and said, Ill send her back. With that, Madam Di Xin gave MO Zhu a reassuring look. Dont worry. MO Zhu nodded. In the car. Li You sat quietly and did not say a word. Madam Di Xin did not disturb her until she returned home. Madam Di Xin watched as she entered and only changed her shoes. She did not even change her clothes before returning to the bedroom and lying on the bed. She tucked herself in, afraid that half-leaning wouldnt work, and lay straight down. Madam Di Xin poured a glass of water and placed it by the bed. The fact that you chose to listen to the doctor means that youve subconsciously accepted this outcome. Li You nodded. Ive accepted it. She had another thought now, but she wouldnt tell anyone. Madam Di Xin seemed to have seen through Li Yous worries and reminded her, Little You, you have to know that pregnant women cant donate their bone marrow. Li You remained silent. Madam Di Xin continued, Besides, in your current condition, protecting the baby is the most important. If anything happens to your body, it will be very difficult to protect the small bean sprout in your stomach. knew all this. She had borne the consequences of a bone marrow puncture while pregnant. She would also face the consequences of donating the bone marrow, but she didnt want to take such a huge risk if there was a way to get it both ways. This was her and Pei Jingzhous first baby. Although it was an accident, she didnt resist. If there hadnt been such circumstances, of course shed have chosen to give birth. Delaying her graduation and her job were small things to her. Nothing could be more important than this child. But now that her mother was sick and needed her bone marrow, she had to choose between the two. The only thing she was conflicted about now was whether to tell Pei Jingzhou that she was pregnant.. Would Pei Jingzhou agree to let her give up the baby in her stomach? Chapter 490 - Chapter 490: Past in Country T (23) Chapter 490: Past in Country T (23) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At this moment, Madam Di Xin suddenly asked, Little You, do you have an aunt? Li You suddenly opened her eyes. But soon, she slowly closed her eyes again. Aunt cant donate bone marrow to Mom. She has a weak heart. She cant take such a risk. Madam Di Xin was surprised. Your aunt has a heart disease? Yeah. Li You recalled that year. Her aunt had almost entered the ICU because of a cold. This cold had a lot to do with myocarditis. She said softly, Myocarditis is also a type of heart disease. Although its not congenital, and this condition hasnt put any strain on her body over the years, she cant make a bone marrow donation if theres a little problem with her heart. Madam Di Xin understood this logic. Thats true. Buzz buzz buzz. The vibration of her cell phone came from outside. Li You sat up and was about to lift the blanket when Madam Di Xin said, Just lie down. Ill bring your phone in. Li You nodded. Thank you. Madam Di Xin smiled and shook her head. She went out to bring Li Yous bag in and handed it to her. After answering the call, lie down and rest well. Ill go to the kitchen to take a look. If there are ingredients, Ill make a pot of soup for you. Your body needs to nourish itself now. Li You shouted, Madam Di Xin Madam Di Xin smiled knowingly. Youre still a child in your mothers eyes. In my eyes, youre also a little girl who needs the care of her elders. Now that your mother isnt by your side, Ill take good care of you. Li Yous lips pressed down a little. Madam Di Xin was afraid that Li You would cry. After urging her to answer the phone, she left. Li You was the only one left in the room. Other than her cell phone still buzzing, it was very quiet. She took out her phone just as the line went dead. It was a call from the hospital. Worried that it had something to do with her mother, Li You quickly called back. The other party picked up and asked, Is this Miss Li? Li You replied, l am. After the other party revealed his identity, he told Li You the compatibility results of the bone marrow puncture. Before facing this result, Li You had not even completely thought about the ownership of the baby in her stomach. The doctor said some technical terms. Li You asked directly, Just tell me if the match is successful. Then she heard the doctor say, Fortunately, the match was successful. The match was successful. This was the outcome Li You wanted the most. Just as the doctor had said the first two words, fortunately. Fortunately, the match was successful. She could save her mother. But Li You was not relieved by this result. Her reaction was a little wooden. No matter how much the doctor said on the phone, she did not listen carefully. After the doctor called Li Yous name four times, she finally came back to her senses. The doctor asked her if she had any concerns. Li You pursed her lips and was silent for two seconds before asking, Will donating bone marrow cause harm to the donors body? When the doctor heard Li Yous question, he immediately understood her mood. I can understand your worry, but in fact, donating bone marrow will not affect the donors health. It will completely dispel such concerns. Li You asked again, What about pregnant women? The doctor on the other end was stunned. As if he thought hed heard wrong, the doctor asked again with uncertainty, What did you say? Li You repeated, Can pregnant women donate bone marrow? Miss Li, Im telling you very clearly that pregnant women cant donate their bone marrow. This will affect the fetus greatly. How great that impact was, the doctor didnt elaborate. But the doctors tone was enough to prove the danger of this matter. Li You asked, Will it cause a miscarriage? The doctor replied, Yes. Even if she didnt miscarry, the child she gave birth to might not be healthy. After answering, the doctor vaguely guessed Li Yous condition, but he did not say it explicitly. He only reminded her, If you have a plan to prepare for pregnancy, I suggest you postpone it unless you give up the bone marrow donation. Li Yous voice was bitter. l dont want to give up. Those words spoke of her indecision in the matter. The doctor was very clear about Li Yous initial determination. Now that she was so hesitant, coupled with the question she had just asked, he was certain of the reason for her hesitation. The doctor took the opportunity to say, Of course, theres something I only mentioned to Mr. Li and havent mentioned to you yet. Other than bone marrow transplantation, the probability of cord blood containing blood ties curing leukemia is as high as 90%. This is because cord blood contains abundant hematopoietic stem cells. It can be used as a method of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and can save Ms. MO Zhu to a large extent. Li You suddenly sat up straight, looking a little excited. She held the cell phone close to her ear and shouted, Doctor! The doctor didnt hang up. Miss Li, go ahead. Li You took a deep breath and confessed her current situation. After she finished, there was silence on the line. Li You continued, just found out that Im pregnant. I want to know if my mother can still wait for my due date. The doctor told Li You responsibly, 1 cant guarantee it, but its not a big problem. The doctor also said, Youre pregnant, which means you have double insurance now. Your own bone marrow and cord blood. In my shoes, its not a bad thing that youre pregnant now. It was not that the doctor was comforting Li You, but from the current situation, Li Yous pregnancy was indeed not a bad thing. There seemed to be only one path in front of her. Whether it was a miscarriage before donating her bone marrow or giving birth to a dysfunctional child after the bone marrow donation, it was equivalent to giving up the child. But using umbilical blood was different. The chances of success were high, and the fetus could be saved smoothly. Moreover, leukemia was not everything after a bone marrow transplant. The recurrence rate after a bone marrow transplant was actually very high, and the probability of cord blood curing leukemia was as high as 90%. Coupled with Li You and MO Zhus relationship, cord blood was also an important storage method. The doctor told Li You all the pros and cons. In the end, Li You said to the doctor, l want to sign a confidentiality agreement with you. The doctor said, Miss Li, I have to decide whether to sign this confidentiality agreement based on the situation you mentioned. Li You pursed her lips and said unhurriedly, Help me hide the fact that Im pregnant. Dont mention it to anyone, including my parents. Also, no matter who asks, claim that my bone marrow is not a successful match with my mothers bone marrow. After that, Ill undergo a Cesarean section in advance while ensuring the safety of the fetus. The doctor was silent. He did not give Li You an immediate answer. This confidentiality agreement involved professional ethics as a doctor. However, this was Country T. Many things could be achieved. It was not that rigid. Li You did not rush the doctor to answer immediately. She waited patiently for a moment before the doctor finally agreed. We can sign this confidentiality agreement, but you have to listen to the doctors arrangements to ensure the safety of the fetus. Li You agreed. l will do it. After ending the call with the doctor, all the strength in Li Yous body seemed to have been sucked away. The cell phone fell from her palm, and she did not notice it until she heard faint footsteps. She suddenly looked up and saw Madam Di Xin standing not far away. Li Yous panic was written all over her face. You heard it Madam Di Xin walked over slowly. Dont worry. Just treat it as if Im also one of the people involved in this confidentiality agreement. You have to know that you cant do it all by yourself without them knowing that youre pregnant. Youll be exposed soon. Li You heaved a sigh of relief. Thank you. Madam Di Xin walked to the bed. l understand what youre doing. I can help you hide it for the first few months. But as your stomach grows bigger day by day, 1 cant hide it anymore. Li You lowered her eyes. l know. Madam Di Xin slowly leaned over and placed her hand on Li Yous shoulder. Li You, your actions did not disappoint me. Li Yous eyelashes fluttered. Madam Di Xin said, You love your mother, and your mother loves you more than you love her. If she finds out that you aborted the child in your stomach just to give her the bone marrow in order to save her, or even it you didnt abort it and gave birth to an dysfunctional child in the end, this matter will become an eternal hurdle in her heart even if you saved your mother. This shadow will accompany her to her death. And your choice now is right, its just that it will be a little harder next. You have to race against time, but I believe you will definitely beat time.. Chapter 491 - Chapter 491: Past in Country T (24) Chapter 491: Past in Country T (24) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After nightfall, Li You slept very restlessly. Rumble Thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky. Thunder rumbled one after another, lightning tore through the dark sky, and heavy rain poured down. Li You lay on the bed, tossing and turning. She could not sleep well. She had one nightmare after another, and she did not know what she had dreamed. At this moment, she was sweating profusely, and the hair on her forehead was all wet. Until waves of pain in her lower abdomen woke her up. Little You, Little You. Little You, whats wrong? Madam Di Xin came in with her clothes draped over her shoulders. She turned on the light and saw Li You lying on the bed with sweat all over her face. Her entire body was trembling, and her face was as pale as a sheet. Little You, are you feeling unwell? Madam Di Xin walked over quickly and asked. Li You curled up and said weakly, My stomach, my stomach hurts Hearing that her stomach hurt, Madam Di Xins expression changed drastically. She quickly helped Li You up. Quick, Ill take you to the hospital. Li You supported herself with one hand on the bed and grabbed Madam Di Xin!s hand with the other. With the help of Madam Di Xin, she slowly sat up. Madam Di Xin helped her lift the blanket. Suddenly, she was shocked and let go. Li Yous forehead was covered in sweat. Seeing Madam Di Xin suddenly let go and her terrified expression, she seemed to have realized something terrifying. She slowly looked down. At this moment, the bed under her was soaked in bright red blood. Her pants were also soaked in blood. There was an eye-catching bright red color in front of her eyes until there were more and more Screams of despair cut through the night. Li You woke up from a nightmare filled with blood. She opened her terrified eyes, her lips slightly parted, and she panted violently. The scenes in the nightmare were so real. The baby in her stomach turned into a pool of bright red blood. The blood soaked through her clothes and bedsheets. She was helpless and afraid Clatter. The lights came on. The warm light was not blinding, but Li You still subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes. After a few seconds, she felt someone reach out to her. She waved her hand and pushed the hand away. Then, she tried to sit up quickly. Seeing that she was overreacting, Pei Jingzhou knew that she was affected by the nightmare just now, and could not tell if it was reality or a nightmare. He clasped her wrist and pulled her close to hug her gently. Dont be afraid. Its me. When Li You heard Pei Jingzhous voice, she was stunned for a moment. However, at this moment, she was still in a daze and could not tell if it was reality or a dream. She slowly reached out her hand to Pei Jingzhou, trying to touch his cheek to feel reality. Before she could touch it, she suddenly remembered something important and pushed Pei Jingzhou away. Pei Jingzhou did not expect her to suddenly push him away with all her might. He understood that she had been under a lot of mental pressure recently, so he did not ask much. However, she was clearly in a bad state. Li You lifted the blanket on her body and felt around the bed, as if she wanted to confirm something. Pei Jingzhou did not stop her. He only asked, What are you looking for? Li You said in a daze, Blood, blood, a lot of blood, here, and here, a lot of blood As she spoke, she tossed and turned, trying to find the same scene as in her dream. But no matter how she searched, there was not a trace of blood on the sheets or her body. Pei Jingzhou silently pulled her into his arms. Li You did not struggle anymore. She leaned into Pei Jingzhous arms and murmured, Theres so much blood. So much, so much. Here, its all Pei Jingzhou, theres a lot of blood. So much blood She took a long time to quiet down. During this period, Pei Jingzhou only hugged her quietly. Until she stopped and woke up. She realized that she was not in a nightmare, and the person holding her was Pei Jingzhou. She slowly raised her tired eyes and looked at the gently swaying curtains not far behind Pei Jingzhou. Only when she felt tired did she call his name. Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou replied, Im here. Li You said, 1 1 had a nightmare, I know, he said. Pei Jingzhou only said that he knew, but he did not ask her what she had dreamed of. Once she said that terrifying nightmare again, she would only be even sadder. His arm around her loosened slightly and he pulled her out of his arms. He took a tissue from the side and gently wiped the thin sweat on her forehead and her hair that was wet with sweat. Li You sniffed and asked in a muffled voice, When did you get here? Pei Jingzhous movements were gentle. l arrived at eleven. When I came over, you were already asleep. Li Yous nose was red. She looked up at him. Why didnt you wake me up? Pei Jingzhou took two pieces of paper and barely wiped the sweat off her forehead. He placed the tissue aside and pulled up the blanket to gently vvrap it around her. Im afraid Ill wake you up. It wont be so easy to sleep again. The smile on Li Yous lips was even uglier than crying. She looked up from Pei Jingzhous arms. Im on my period. You cant bully me. Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes. What are you thinking? Li You: It seemed like she was thinking too much. Pei Jingzhou was actually worried about the quality of her sleep. She was not in a good mood now. It was difficult for her to fall asleep again when she finally woke up. For example, now that she had woken up from a nightmare, it would probably be a long time before she could fall asleep. She obediently didnt move again. Pei Jingzhou gently wrapped her in the blanket in this position and pulled her into his arms. Such an embrace was extremely safe for Li You. It was as if she was being held in Pei Jingzhous palm. No matter how she rolled, she would not roll out of his palm. Sleepiness came faster than shed expected. She didnt know when shed fallen asleep. When she woke up, Pei Jingzhou was no longer beside her. She sat up and remembered her nightmare last night. She immediately lifted the blanket. Seeing the clean bed and clothes, she felt much more at ease. She slowly raised her hand to cover her abdomen and felt this little life take root in her stomach. It was really a wonderful feeling. If Pei Jingzhou knew that she was pregnant, he would be very happy, right? She got out of bed and went to the bathroom. She had changed into a new sanitary pad before sleeping last night. It was still considered clean. She was right to listen to the doctor. Lying down and resting was the right thing to do. At least for the time being, she had to lie down and rest. She came out of the bathroom and composed herself to go out. Pei Jingzhou was making breakfast in the kitchen. She leaned against the kitchen door without saying anything until Pei Jingzhou noticed her. Youre up. Li You nodded and asked, Last night, Madam Di Xin was with me. I didnt see her this morning. Did she return to Chunwu? Pei Jingzhou replied, Yes, she left this morning. Li You nodded. Pei Jingzhou lifted the lid of the pot and scooped a bowl of ginger brown sugar water for Li You.. Chapter 492 - Chapter 492: Past in Country T (25) Chapter 492: Past in Country T (25) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This was the ginger brown sugar water Pei Jingzhou had cooked this morning. He had cooked it before and was experienced. It wouldnt taste too bad. Pei Jingzhou turned around and handed the ginger brown sugar water to Li You. Drink this cup first. Li You took it with both hands and took a few sips. Pei Jingzhou saw that there was still half left and reminded her, You have to finish it. Li You nodded and finished the ginger brown sugar water in front of Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou considered Li Yous current physical condition and cooked porridge for her for breakfast. However, she still did not have much of an appetite. She sat at the dining table and held the bowl of porridge in front of her for a long time, unable to eat it. Pei Jingzhou did not force her. He poured her half a glass of warm milk and pushed it to her. Drink another half glass of milk and go out. Li You had just picked up the half cup of warm milk and was about to drink it when she heard Pei Jingzhou say that he was going out. She shook her head and said, Im not going out today. She didnt say why, just that she wasnt going out today. Pei Jingzhou looked up at her. You dont want to go out? Li You took a small sip of milk and put it down. Mom is worried about my physical condition. She asked me to stay at home today. Im afraid that if I go over, she will be angry when she sees me, so Ill stay at home obediently today. More than half of this was the truth. Her mother had indeed instructed her to rest at home and not go to the hospital again today. However, the part that she had hidden from Pei Jingzhou was that she had to listen to the doctor and lie in bed to recuperate. Pei Jingzhou looked at her for a moment. If possible, I hope you can stay at home for the next two days and wait for Auntie to come back. Li You was stunned. Youre so haggard. Pei Jingzhou said everything he had been wanting to say recently. No one can predict Aunties condition. I can understand your feelings, but you didnt listen to anything I say. Not only me, but Uncle and Auntie dont want to see you in such a dispirited state. How could Li You not understand these words? She nodded, eyes downcast. l know. Pei Jingzhou stood up and walked towards Li You. He reached out to her. Li You placed her hand on Pei Jingzhous palm and wrapped her other hand around his waist. She leaned her head against his chest and said in a low voice, Im sorry for making you worry. Pei Jingzhou whispered, You dont have to say that to me. Li You pursed her lips. Ill adjust my emotions and mentality next. I wont be like before. Her words undoubtedly reassured Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou was very worried that she would continue to be dispirited, especially when he came over last night and saw Madam Di Xin, who was still awake. Madam Di Xin told him that the match had not succeeded and that Li You was in a bad mood. No wonder shed had a terrible nightmare last night. This time, Pei Jingzhou will stay for two more days. He wanted to accompany Li You more. As long as he was by her side and talked to her more, he could divert her attention from thinking about matching. Two days later, MO Zhu was also discharged. The weather on the day MO Zhu was discharged from the hospital was very good. Of course, it was not just the weather. MO Zhus complexion and condition were also visible to the naked eye. However, everyone knew that MO Zhus good complexion was limited to this period. After the chemotherapy began, her entire complexion and condition would be visibly haggard and pale. Half a month later, MO Zhu began the most torturous path of chemotherapy. At first, MO Zhu was reluctant to cut her hair. She wanted to hold on for a while longer, even if she saw a lot of hair falling off from chemotherapy in bed and on her pillow every day. One handful at a time. More and more. Li Huaisheng would put away those hairs every day, but he would only put them away after MO Zhu fell asleep. Actually, MO Zhu knew about it. Currently, Li Huaisheng could not suspend work at the embassy. He ran between the hospital and the embassy every day. Compared to his previous high- spirited, gentle, and elegant self, Li Huaisheng looked more than ten years older in just a month. It was not until MO Zhus hair fell more and more that she finally made up her mind to shave it off. On the day she shaved her head, MO Zhu did not let Li Huaisheng accompany her. Even though they had been husband and wife for so many years, she still did not want her husband to see her ugliest side. The only person beside her was Li You. Li You had a bag in her hand. MO Zhu thought that the bag contained the hat she was going to wear next. Until Li You took out a beautiful long wig from the bag. Li You helped her mother put on this beautiful long wig. Actually, Dad prepared this for you. MO Zhu knew at a glance that Li Huaisheng had prepared it because she had casually mentioned in front of him that she wanted to wear a long curly wig in the future. She did not expect him to remember it. MO Zhu closed her eyes and didnt look at herself in the mirror. Her voice was bleak. Actually, being sick isnt the most painful thing for me. What really hurt me was that I would eventually abandon you in advance. Li You suppressed the tears in her eyes. Mom, youll be fine. MO Zhu smiled bitterly. l hope so. Two months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, after Li You returned from the hospital, she was in a low state. At night, she stood in front of the mirror and slowly lifted her clothes. What the doctor had said at the hospital appeared in her mind. Two yolk sacs. This meant that she was pregnant with twins. What kind of physique did she have? Perhaps the only fortunate thing was that she had not willfully aborted the baby and donated her bone marrow. If she had aborted it, it would have been the lives of both children. But the problem in front of her now wasit was impossible to hide it for three more months. Three more months and her stomach would be very obvious. Originally, she thought that if nothing went wrong, she would be able to hide it until the fifth month. And she hadnt had a pregnancy reaction in the past two months or so. She was also glad that she was pregnant with an angel baby, which was why she hadnt suffered from the pregnancy reaction. She knew very well that if it hadnt been for the lack of a too obvious pregnancy reaction, she probably wouldnt have been able to hide it until then. In the end, she was pregnant with twins. Thump. There was a slight commotion outside. Li Yous mouth tightened and she quickly opened the door to leave. She saw her father pick up her mother, who had suddenly fainted, and hurry out the door. Li Yous expression changed. Mom! She hurriedly followed him to the hospital. MO Zhu entered the emergency room. Li Huaisheng stood outside in a daze while Li You sat in the waiting chair. Recalling the scene of her mother being sent in for emergency treatment, Li Yous determination suddenly wavered. Her clenched fists turned pale. After struggling for a long time, she slowly stood up and prepared to go find the doctor. She had only taken two steps when someone stopped her from behind Little You. It was Madam Di Xin. Li You stood rooted to the ground and looked helplessly at Madam Di Xin. Madam Di Xin walked over and grabbed Li Yous wrist. Dont make a decision youll regret. Li You suppressed the tears in her eyes. But Mom needs She needs you as a daughter. She doesnt need your marrow. Li Huaishengs voice sounded. Li You froze and turned around. Dad Li Huaishengs face was expressionless. l know everything. Li You looked at Madam Di Xin in disbelief. Madam Di Xin smiled bitterly. l promised you that I would keep this secret. I will definitely keep it. Li Huaisheng said, Your mother found it. With that, Li Huaisheng took out a folded folic acid wrapper box from his pocket. Li You stammered, l clearly Li Huaisheng sighed. You clearly left it outside, but your mother went out with you that day. Now, your mother and I know about your situation.. Chapter 493 - Chapter 493: Past in Country T (26) Chapter 493: Past in Country T (26) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li You thought that she had been hiding it well. But it was only at this moment that she realized that all her caution had been seen by them. They knew everything. They were just cooperating with her not to expose it. If she hadnt had the intention to save her mother in advance just now, her father probably wouldnt have laid his cards on the table with her so quickly. Li Huaisheng was worried that Li You would make an irreparable decision. His tone was not very good. If you dont listen and insist on being stubborn, dont blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter. Li You bit her lower lip in grievance. But Im afraid I wont make it in time. Theres still time, Li Huaisheng said firmly. Li You looked at Father Li in a daze and could not help but sob. But but Niom Li Huaishengs tone was as firm as before. If I say theres time, theres definitely time! After the emergency treatment, MO Zhu was out of danger. Li Huaisheng stayed close to her in the ward. Madam Di Xin had also gone in twice, but only Li You did not go in once. She sat quietly in the waiting chair outside. Madam Di Xin did not disturb Li You the first time she came out. When she came out the second time, she saw that she was still sitting there. She walked towards her lightly. Li You had been immersed in her own world and did not even know when Madam Di Xin had sat down beside her. Sensing the strength on her arm, she looked sideways and her eyelashes fluttered. Madam Di Xin. Madam Di Xin asked her, What do you want to do next? Li Yous lips parted. I think Before Li You could finish speaking, Madam Di Xin reminded her, You have to think carefully. Li You lowered her eyes. Moms condition is getting worse and worse. I cant convince myself to wait anymore. Besides, Mom cant wait anymore. Im afraid its too late Its fine, as long as you think it through, Madam Di Xin comforted. Li You turned around and reached out to hug Madam Di Xin. I still cant make a decision. No matter what I do, its wrong. I thought for a long time but couldnt think of the best solution. I dont know what to do She had said enough comforting words, and she had said more than ten persuasive words. Therefore, Madam Di Xin chose to remain silent this time. She did not continue to comfort her and only stayed by Li Yous side, observing her emotions at all times. At night, Father Li sent Li You home. The father and daughter, who had always talked about everything, were both silent today. Halfway through the drive, the quiet atmosphere was broken by Father Li. He asked Li You, Are you still angry about what I said this morning? Li You retracted her gaze from the car window and looked at the windshield in front of her. Ive already forgotten what Dad said this morning. Li Huai smiled angrily. Your stubborn temper is like mine. Li You glanced sideways at Father Li. Is it a good or a bad thing to be like you? Li Huaisheng shook his head. Not good. After a slight pause, he added, Not bad either. Li Yous lips curved, but it was a very faint smile. Dad, Ive grown up. I want to make my own decisions. The little smile on Li Huaishengs face disappeared. He found a spot and parked by the side of the road. He turned off the engine and turned to look at Li You. Then tell me, what decision do you want to make? Abort my biological grandson? Li You shook her head. No. Li Huaisheng looked a little better. It better not be. Li You said seriously, l hope you can help me hide my pregnancy from Pei Jingzhou. Li Huaisheng was not surprised to hear that. He only asked, Why did you want to hide it from him? He has a right to know. Of course he has the right Li You lowered her eyes. l will give birth to two babies in peace, but before something unknown happens, no one knows what the final outcome will be. Pei Jingzhou is already worried about my current condition. If he finds out that Im pregnant, he will blame himself even more than me. She didnt want to see him in pain. Everything had the best outcome. She could give her mother a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible, but her unexpected pregnancy happened at this important juncture. If Pei Jingzhou found out, she did not dare to imagine what he would do. This was also the main reason why she had chosen to hide it from Pei Jingzhou from the beginning. Li Huaisheng understood his daughters thoughts and reminded her, Youre right, but you can hide it for a while, but not forever. l know. I know everything. Li You raised her eyes and turned to look at Father Li. But Ive already thought it through. If he finds out in the future, say that I wanted to use umbilical cord blood to save Mom and secretly get pregnant without him knowing. In this way, it would become her right or wrong. Compared to Pei Jingzhous guilt and self-blame for the rest of his life, she was willing to bear all of this. Li Huaisheng did not think this was a good idea, but there did not seem to be a better solution at the moment. He could only compromise. At night, Li You held her cell phone and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she mustered her courage and called Pei Jingzhou, who was far away in the capital. Pei Jingzhou would come over tonight, but he had yet to get on the plane. He had just finished a meeting at the company and was about to go home to change his clothes and go to the airport. On the way home, he received a call from Li You. Pressing the phone to her ear, she closed her eyes and said gently, The ten oclock flight. Dont wait for me tonight. Go to bed early. More than once, Li You felt that just hearing Pei Jingzhous voice made her feel at ease. However, when she thought of what she was about to say, she took a deep breath and maintained a calm tone. Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou guessed that she had something to say and asked, What do you want to say? Li You pursed her lips and said softly, Its very important. Pei Jingzhou opened his eyes and tightened his grip on the cell phone. Tell me. Li You did not beat around the bush and said directly, Moms condition is not good. Dad cant let go of all his work at the embassy. I plan to delay my graduation. For the next few months, Ill accompany Mom for chemotherapy in peace. She paused for a moment and continued softly, Ill accompany Mom to a new address, so you dont have to come to Country T for the next few months. Pei Jingzhou remained silent. Li You waited nervously for Pei Jingzhous response. After waiting for a long time, Pei Jingzhou did not speak. Her nervousness turned to panic. Pei Jingzhou? Pei Jingzhou replied, Mm. She braced herself. Cancel your flight for tonight. There was silence on the other end of the line again. Li You knew that this arrangement was not appropriate, but this was the only way. She called out again, but this time Pei Jingzhou did not respond, so she continued to call his name. Once, twice, three times This was probably the only time in so long that she had called Pei Jingzhou many times since they met. He had clearly heard her, but he did not respond. As she shouted, tears began to creep into her voice. Im sorry.. Chapter 494 - Chapter 494: Awakened from the Dream Chapter 494: Awakened from the Dream Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou asked, Did you make this decision? She suppressed the ache in her heart and steadied her emotions as they approached the breach. Yes. Pei Jingzhou asked her again, Is your heart aching for me to run back and forth between the capital and Country T? Youre afraid that Ill tire myself out and want me to stay in the capital to rest? Li You bit her lip so hard that her lips turned white. Look, at this moment, he would still take the initiative to find a reasonable reason for her. Li You gritted her teeth and replied, Yes. Pei Jingzhou said calmly, What if I dont listen? He was testing her bottom line. Testing if shed change her mind because of what hed said. Li You said angrily, Up to you. All I want to do now is stay with Mom. Pei Jingzhou asked her calmly, Li You, what exactly do you want? Li You asked, Do you think that Ive fallen in love with someone else at this juncture and made this decision not to let you come to Country T because I want to be with someone else behind your back? They were about to start arguing. But in fact, the two of them had never quarreled seriously. Even if there were some conflicts in the past, they were only trivial matters. But this time, it seemed that if she continued, they would really argue. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Tell me, what exactly are you thinking? Li You said calmly, l already told you what I was thinking. You probably didnt listen to me seriously just now. Pei Jingzhou said in a low voice, Li You! Li You also raised her voice. Pei Jingzhou, what do you want? I just want to be by Moms side. I dont want to miss every minute and second by Moms side. Cant I even do this? This reason was not far-fetched. It was the only reason she could use to deceive Pei Jingzhou. It did work. In the end, Pei Jingzhou really compromised. He sneered. Alright, I promise you that I wont come to Country T. Ill come back on the day you want to see me. How about that? He enunciated each word through gritted teeth. It was obvious how angry he was at this moment. However, despite being so angry, Pei Jingzhou did not hang up. He only ended the call after reminding her a few times. After Li You took down the cell phone, she felt a lump in her throat. She raised her head and took a deep breath, trying to suppress her tears. After a long time, she finally forced her tears back. She slowly leaned back, bent her knees, and hugged her legs. She stared blankly at the photo of Pei Jingzhou on the cabinet opposite her In the following days, Pei Jingzhou did not come to Country T again. Li You accompanied her mother to the house Madam Di Xin had prepared for them. Time flew by. Li Yous pregnancy was already seven months old. In the past seven months, Madam Di Xin had accompanied Li You during every prenatal checkup. With the protection of the guards, nothing had gone wrong in the past seven months. Usually, when Madam Di Xin was by Li Yous side, she rarely talked to her about the Cabinet. These days, however, every time Madam Di Xin mentioned it to Li You, it was about the Cabinet. Because the war was about to start. Li You was worried about the war that was about to happen at any moment while paying attention to her mothers recent physical condition. She did not know if she had changed her address, but MO Zhus chemotherapy had been very effective in the past few months. Everything was going well. But recently, for some reason, MO Zhus health was deteriorating and her mental state was getting worse. Li You was worried that it would be too late. After discussing with the doctor, she chose to undergo a C-section in advance, When Madam Di Xin found out that she was going to have a C-section early, she rushed to the hospital to stop her, but it was already too late. Li You went to the operating table. After nearly two hours, Li You fell asleep and woke up again on the operating table. When she woke up, she fell asleep again. In a daze, she heard a baby crying. The tears she had been holding back for a long time finally fell. At the same time, when Jiang Ce saw Li Xiwus pained expression because of everything that had happened in the dream, he understood that it could end here. He turned and extinguished the incense next to him. As the fragrance went out, a moment later, the painful expression on Li Xiwus face gradually disappeared and she returned to calm. Jiang Ce reached out and snapped his fingers in Li Xiwus ear. Dreams are the past, not where you belong. Its time for you to wake up. Li Xiwu slowly opened her eyes. In front of her was Jiang Ce l s enlarged face.. She stared at it for a moment and murmured hoarsely, l woke up from a dream Chapter 495 - Chapter 495: Youyou: Petty Daddy Chapter 495: Youyou: Petty Daddy Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After she woke up from Jiang Ce l s mental clinic, Li Xiwu moved back to the Li Mansion. Pei Jingzhou did not move over with her. He stayed at Lake Lu with Yaoyao and Youyou. In two days, he sent Yaoyao to the MO Family. Although Youyou had been making a fuss about looking for her mother these past few days and Yaoyao had asked Pei Jingzhou several times when he could see Li Xiwu before he was sent to the MO residence, Pei Jingzhou still did not bring the two little fellows to the Li Mansion to see Li Xiwu. This morning, Youyou asked Pei Jingzhou before leaving as usual, Is Mommy coming back today? Pei Jingzhou picked up Youyous small bag with one hand and placed his other arm on the coat rack on the floor. He turned around and said to Youyou, Im not sure. Hearing the same answer as yesterday, Youyou pouted unhappily and asked, Did you make Mom angry? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. You think so? Youyous lips curled up. Then why isnt Mommy back? Youyou hasnt seen Mommy for five days. As she spoke, Youyou counted with her fingers. Look, there are seven days a week. Mom hasnt been home for five days. Five days. Dad, dont you miss Mom? Pei Jingzhou replied, No. When Youyou heard the word no, she was quite angry. She questioned angrily, Why dont you miss Mommy? Pei Jingzhou suppressed a smile. Me? Yes, yes. Youyou nodded vigorously. Pei Jingzhou smiled and did not say anything. He put on the jacket he had just brought over and leaned over to pick Youyou up. Before leaving, Pei Jingzhou said to Auntie Lin, Ill take Youyou to the MO residence. Go back to your hometown early when youre done. Tomorrow was New Years Day. According to normal working hours, Auntie Lins New Years holiday would start at six tonight. However, Pei Jingzhou has taken Youyou out now. There was no one at home from noon to the afternoon. Auntie Lin did not have to stay until six oclock. After finishing her work, she could go back to her hometown early. Auntie Lin nodded and replied, Ill go back after drying Youyou and Yaoyaos clothes. Pei Jingzhou nodded and carried Youyou out. Youyou waved at Auntie Lin. Grandma Lin, Happy New Year. Bye Auntie Lin imitated Youyou!s gesture and waved. Yansheng, Happy New Year. Youyou smiled until her teeth were visible. Okay~ Recently, Auntie Lin would occasionally call Youyou by her name. This was also to let Youyou adapt to her name faster. Youyou also liked her name very much. Every time she heard Auntie Lin call her Yansheng, she would be especially happy. Pei Jingzhou carried Youyou to the garage in the elevator. The chauffeur had already arrived early and was waiting. The automatic door slowly opened. Youyou got into the car and turned to ask, Are we going to Great-Grandmas place? Pei Jingzhou sat in and pressed the button. The automatic car door slowly closed. He replied, Yes, to Great-Grandma. Youyou grabbed Pei Jingzhous arm with both hands and looked up pitifully. Pei Jingzhou deliberately asked despite knowing the answer, You want to see Mom? Youyou said, Yes, yes~ Pei Jingzhou smiled and gestured to the chauffeur in front of him. Drive. The chauffeur started the engine. Youyou blinked happily and asked, Dad, are we going to find Mom now? No. Pei Jingzhou shook his head. Lets not look for Mom first. I have to send you to your great-grandmothers house first. When she heard that she was still going to her great-grandmothers house, the joy on Youyous face disappeared. She let go of Pei Jingzhous arm and turned around to sulk alone. While the little girl was sulking, she did not forget to complain to Pei Jingzhou. You dont even miss Mommy. When Youyou see Mommy, Youyou will complain to Mommy that Daddy doesnt miss Mommy at all. Pei Jingzhou looked at the little girls aggrieved expression and couldnt help but laugh. The reason I dont miss Mommy is because I miss my wife. That was a little awkward. Youyou stared for a long time before reacting. She turned around and asked, Is Mom Dads wife? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Yes. Youyous current logic was not very clear, so she asked, Is Mom also my wife? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. What wife? Thats my wife. Youyou asked, Isnt it common? Pei Jingzhou snapped. What do you mean by common? Shes my wife alone. Youyou pouted and snorted. Its not like Im snatching your wife. Pei Jingzhou: ? Youyou said, Petty daddy. Pei Jingzhou: Youyou usually sulked for no more than three minutes each time. She quickly composed herself. She moved her body nimbly and quickly moved to Pei Jingzhous side. She grabbed Pei Jingzhou!s arm again and said ingratiatingly, Youyou misses Mommy very much. I miss Mommy when Im in kindergarten, when I play with my classmates, I miss Mommy on the way home, and I miss Mommy when I sleep at night. Youyou can go to Great-Grandmas house without making a fuss. Seeing that Youyou is so obedient, Daddy, can you go and bring Mommy back? The little girl did not feel that she was talkative. She kept nagging in Pei Jingzhous ear. If she continued, calluses would appear in his ears. Pei Jingzhou was afraid that she would nag all the way, so he stopped teasing her and agreed. Okay, I promise youll see her tomorrow. Youyous eyes lit up when she heard her father agree. She reached out her hand. Shall we pinky swear? Pei Jingzhou laughed. You dont trust me? Youyou reached out her hand to Pei Jingzhou. Hurry up and pinky swear. You have to pinky swear. Pei Jingzhou smiled dotingly and imitated Youyous gesture. He reached out to pinky swear with her. After the pinky swear, Youyou immediately smiled like a sunflower. At the same time, at the MO residence. Yaoyao was squatting beside the flower bed outside the MO residence. The weather was cold and the frost fog was heavy. Yaoyao put his hands in front of his face to warm himself. He looked up in the direction of the car. Last night, he had learned from his great-grandmother that Youyou was officially on winter break. He would bring Youyou here today, so he came out early in the morning and squatted here to wait for Youyou and him to arrive. He had been squatting for seven or eight minutes. Guan Suling walked out with Dao Xis help. When the servant guarding behind Yaoyao saw her, she immediately stood up and walked forward to call out, Matriarch. Guan Suling looked at Yaoyao, who was stubbornly squatting there, and asked the servant, Is he still unwilling to get up? The servant shook her head. Little Master refused to get up no matter what. He said that he had to wait for Young Master and Young Miss to come. This child. Guan Suling smiled helplessly and walked towards Yaoyao, who was squatting there. Yaoyao heard a voice behind him and turned to look. Seeing that it was Great-Grandma, he got up and turned around to shout, Great-Grandma. Now, Yaoyao could already take the initiative to address people. However, he would only take the initiative to address them if they were close to him. After staying in the MO residence for a period of time, Guan Suling had interacted with Yaoyao the most every day. After their trust relationship was established, Yaoyao was very close to Guan Suling now.. Chapter 496 - Chapter 496: My Brother Chapter 496: My Brother Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was not convenient for Guan Suling to squat, so she leaned over slightly and held Yaoyaos hand to test his temperature. Yaoyao knew what his great-grandmother was worried about. He shook his head and said, Im not cold. If a child was cold, his hands would definitely be cold. When she touched Yaoyaos hand, it was warm. Only then did Guan Suling feel relieved and ask, Youve been squatting here for so long. Are you hungry? Yaoyao shook his head. Guan Suling looked up at the outside and said to Yaoyao, Your father and Youyou are on the way here. The journey isnt that fast. Its cold outside. Can you wait inside with your great-grandmother? Your father Actually, Yaoyao had already tacitly agreed that Pei Jingzhou was his father. However, he had never officially called them Dad or Mom. He had also thought that one day, he would be able to call his parents anytime and anywhere like Youyou. He had even tried his best to rehearse it many times in his heart, but every time he saw Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu, he did not know how to call them. As a result, he had never officially called them Mom and Dad. Occasionally, Pei Jingzhou would coax him to call them Mom and Dad. Yaoyao shook her head. l want to wait for them here. Guan Suling knew that the child was stubborn, so she called out, Bring a chair over. Ill sit and wait with Yaoyao. Dao Xi nodded and was about to turn away. Yaoyao shouted, Dont take the chair. Guan Suling asked, You dont want Great-Grandma to wait with you? Yaoyao said in a muffled voice, Go inside and warm yourself by the fire. There was a frosty fog today. It was cold outside. Although Yaoyao was stubborn, he still knew how to care about people, especially when his great-grandmother was old. She couldnt just sit there and suffer the frost in the winter. She had to have a stove beside her. Guan Suling knew that the little guy was worried that she was cold, and her heart warmed. However, she specially came out to coax Yaoyao in, so she said, If Yaoyao isnt cold, then Great-Grandma isnt cold either. Ill just wait here with Yaoyao. Yaoyao hesitated if he should say that he was cold too, then obediently go in with his great-grandmother. Before he could think about it, he saw a black car driving towards the door of the MO residence. Yaoyao recognized the car at a glance and stood on tiptoe excitedly. Theyre here, Guan Suling looked up at the approaching car and gestured to Dao Xi. Welcome the Young Master. Dao Xi nodded. Ill go now. Dao Xi brought the two servants down the stairs to welcome Pei Jingzhou and Youyou. Yaoyao wanted to follow him down, but he hesitated for a long time because he didnt know what to call him. By the time he wanted to follow, the car door had already opened. Yansheng is here! This was the first thing Youyou could not wait to say after getting out of the car. With that, she saw Yaoyao standing at the top of the steps. Her eyes lit up and she ran over. Yaoyao, Im here m Yaoyao had always been calm and composed. When Youyou ran towards him, he stood motionless on the steps. It was only when Youyou hugged him that he raised his hand to protect her from falling. The hug was brief. Youyou let go of Yaoyao and turned to hug Guan Sulings thigh again. She shouted crisply, Great-Grandma, Yansheng is here! Calling her great-grandma made Guan Sulings heart almost melt. She reached out and touched Youyous chubby face. Little Yansheng, Great-grandma misses you. Youyou said sweetly, 1 1 miss Great-Grandma too. With that, she looked at Yaoyao and grabbed her hand. And my brother. Yaoyao smiled slightly. Pei Jingzhou got out of the car and walked over. He nodded at Guan Suling and called out, Grandma. Guan Suling nodded with a smile. Yaoyao has been looking forward to it for a long time. Youre finally here. Lets go inside and warm up. Pei Jingzhou rejected her politely. 1 wont go in first. Ill pick her up today. It went without saying who that her was. Li You had already returned to the Li Mansion for five days. Tomorrow was New Years Day, and Pei Jingzhou wanted to bring Li You back to the MO residence. Guan Suling also wanted to go with them, but she still had to take care of the two little fellows. She said, Then come back early. Pei Jingzhou agreed. Okay. He was not in a hurry to leave. He had long sensed that Yaoyao had been looking at him since he came over. Pei Jingzhou turned sideways and walked towards Yaoyao. Yaoyao had already looked away, pretending that he hadnt been staring at him just now. Pei Jingzhou looked at the little guy, who thought that he had not been discovered, and couldnt help but ask, Why arent you addressing people? Yaoyao looked up at Pei Jingzhou obediently. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Hm? Yaoyao pursed his lips and whispered, Go get Mom. Pei Jingzhous smile deepened. He reached out and rubbed Yaoyaos hair. Okay, Ill pick her up now.. Chapter 497 - Chapter 497: Secretly Happy Chapter 497: Secretly Happy Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Several Luohan pine trees in the Li Mansion were already hung with small lanterns that indicated the New Year atmosphere. Cai Buqu woke up early in the morning and was busy arranging the New Year goods that had been sent over. Actually, the Li Mansion did not lack anything, but usually, only Cai Buqu lived here, so it was inevitable that there was a lack of liveliness. Therefore, Cai Buqu had bought many new year goods in the past two days. He rushed to send them all over this morning. In the living room, Qiao Qiao held a pair of scissors in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. The tablet in front of her was playing a video of the papercutting, but she didnt know how to cut it after looking at it for a long time. She turned to look at Li Xiwu and was depressed because the one in Li Xiwus hand was almost finished! Forget it. She had to watch and learn more before she could do it. Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Qiao Qiao, then laughed at the way she frowned and studied the video carefully. Must you cut this? Qiao Qiao rolled up her sleeves and put on a competing aura. You dont say. Im going to do this today. Mhen Qiao Qiao was about to study it carefully again, the phone beside her rang. She put down the scissors and paper cuttings and took the cell phone. Li Xiwu, who was very close to Qiao Qiao, saw the caller ID on the screen and said, Its your mother. Qiao Qiao made a shushing gesture at Li Xiwu, then pressed the speaker button and picked up the call. The call went through and Jiang Lins voice came through. Hi. Qiao Qiao cleared her throat and called out, Mommy On the other end of the line, Jiang Lin hissed. Even through the phone, she was mushy for a moment. Be serious. Im telling you something serious. Qiao Qiao was afraid that it had something to do with her grandfather. When she heard her mothers serious tone, she immediately became serious. Did something happen? Jiang Lin could hear the nervousness in her daughters tone and quickly said, Your grandfather is fine. You can spend New Years Day in the capital in peace. These words made Qiao Qiao feel relieved. Jiang Lin continued, Its your Little Uncle. Qiao Qiao was still feeling relieved. When she heard her mother mention Little Uncle, she almost choked on her breath. Because she was on speaker, Li Xivvu could hear the entire conversation between Qiao Qiao and her mother. Seeing that Qiao Qiaos ups and downs were all on her face, she almost laughed out loud. Qiao Qiao asked, Is Shao Jingmo coming to the capital? She guessed right. Jiang Lin said, Yes, your Little Uncle Shao Jingmos flight at night will arrive in the capital around midnight. Book a hotel for him in advance. Booking a hotel was a piece of cake. There was no need to refuse. Qiao Qiao agreed. Got it. Although she knew what was going on, she couldnt help but ask, Did Shao Jingmo specially pick me up? Jiang Lin said, Your grandfather found out that you went to the capital and reprimanded Shao Jingmo for not accompanying you. Its mainly because the Bai family has been in the limelight recently. Your grandfather is most worried about your safety now. Qiao Qiao knew that her grandfather was worried about her, but her focus on Mother Qiaos words was, Did Grandpa scold Shao Jingmo? Jiang Lin said, Yes. After getting confirmation, Qiao Qiao was secretly delighted. At the thought of the impressive and awesome Shao Jingmo being scolded in front of her grandfather, she really wanted to see that scene with her own eyes. She just didnt know if she would have the chance to see her grandfather scold Shao Jingmo with her own eyes in the future. She had to record it with her cell phone. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she completely ignored Mother Qiaos call. Guieui. Guigui? Hey, are you still listening to Mom? Jiang Lin called out a few times, but Qiao Qiao didnt react at all. It was Li Xiwu who nudged Qiao Qiaos arm gently with her elbow. Your mother is calling for you. Qiao Qiao snapped out of her daze. Huh? Whats wffong, Mom? Jiang Lin said on the other end of the line, When Shao Jingmo comes over, dont argue with him. Also, come back early after New Years. Qiao Qiao agreed. Okay, got it. After saying everything she needed to say, Jiang Lin gave a few more instructions before hanging up. Qiao Qiao put the phone aside and turned to look at Li Xiwu. Did you hear that? My mother said that my grandfather scolded Shao Jingmo. Li Xiwu looked at Qiao Qiaos silly smile and was infected by that smile. She smiled too. l can tell. Youre very happy that your grandfather scolded your Little Uncle. Qiao Qiao chuckled. Of course Im happy. After being happy for a while, she retracted the smile on her face. Its too early to laugh. I still have to book a hotel room for Shao Jingmo. With that, Qiao Qiao picked up her phone with a bitter expression and opened the travel software to book a hotel for Shao Jingmo. Qiao Qiao had left her residence in the capital for a long time. This time, she came back just in time to move into the Li Mansion with Li Xiwu. Now that Shao Jingmo was coming, he would definitely stay in the hotel. Of course, even if her residence had not been moved out, it was impossible for her to bring Shao Jingmo to stay with her. Even though he was her husband in name now! Li Xiwu took Qiao Qiaos cell phone and said, Dont book it yet. Shao Jingmo came to the capital to protect you. If hes staying in a hotel, then you have to go over and stay in a hotel too. How about letting him stay at the Li Mansion? I should go back to Lake Lu tonight. Qiao Qiao asked, Youre going back to Lake Lu tonight? Li Xiwu smiled. l remember everything in the past. I returned to the Li Mansion because I needed a space to calm down. When I adjusted my emotions, it was time to go back. Qiao Qiao nodded weakly. Li Xiwu continued to cut the paper in her hand. As she cut, she said, Qiang Yue Garden is considered a safe place. I can rest assured that you live here. Shao Jingmo probably wont mind. Tell him nicely. He doesnt mind. Of course he lives where I live. After saying this, Qiao Qiao was stunned for a few seconds. Thinking carefully, she felt that her expression was not quite right. She turned to look at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu was trying not to laugh. Qiao Qiao knew why Li Xiwu was holding back her laughter. She explained seriously, l dont have any feelings for Shao Jingmo in that aspect at all. There was just something v?ong with the way I expressed it just now. Li Xiwu expressed her understanding, but she couldnt stop smiling. She bit her lip to suppress her smile and nodded in agreement. In the end, she repeated in a meaningful tone, Yes, its a matter of expression. Qiao Qiao: Although Qiao Qiao had also carefully examined her attitude towards Shao Jingmo, she realized that she had always treated him as an outsider. However, while she treated Shao Jingmo as an outsider, she subconsciously felt that Shao Jingmo was family. What a contradictory mentality. At this moment, Li Xiwus paper cut was done. Qiao Qiao raised and lowered her butt and squeezed closer to Li Xiwu. l learned it from the same papercut video. How come youve already cut it? 1 still dont know how to start. Li Xiwu put down the scissors and spread out the word fortune that she had just cut for Qiao Qiao to see. Look carefully. How is it the same as the papercutting video? Qiao Qiao took a closer look. What you cut seems to be a word? Li Xiwu looked sideways at Qiao Qiao and asked, Look at the word. Although the cut wasnt that exquisite, the word was still easy to recognize. After reading it carefully, Qiao Qiao said, Fu. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. Then what are you planning to cut? Qiao Qiao looked at the papercut in her hand again. Rabbit. Li Xiwu reminded her, It would be strange if you could do it if you learned the most difficult small animal paper cutting when you first started. Learn a simple test first and youll know the word fortune. You dont have to try.. Chapter 498 - Chapter 498: Bully My Wife While I’m Not Around Chapter 498: Bully My Wife While Im Not Around Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao snatched the paper cutting from Li Xiwus hand and stuffed the one she had never cut into Li Xiwus hand. Great. I cut this word. Li Xiwu watched helplessly as Qiao Qiao took the fortune character she had cut for herself. She was caught between laughter and tears. How domineering. Qiao Qiao raised her chin and snorted proudly. You can call me Domineering Qiao, Unreasonable Qiao, Shameless Qiao. Anyway, President Pei isnt here. I can bully you however I want. He wont hear you even if you scream your throat out. Wuhu- Just as she finished speaking, a cold voice came Bullying my wife while Im away? When she heard this voice, the smug smile on Qiao Qiaos lips suddenly disappeared. She didnt think that she was hallucinating. Obviously, this was President Peis voice! !! The moment Li Xiwu heard the voice, she looked up in the direction of the door. It was Pei Jingzhou. She had not seen Pei Jingzhou for five days since they parted ways at Jiang Ces mental clinic. Shed known hed drop by today, but she hadnt expected him so early. She placed the paper cutout Qiao Qiao had given her on the coffee table, gathered the shawl around her shoulders, and stood up. Qiao Qiao also stood up and grabbed a corner of the shawl on Li Xiwu. President Pei came over in the morning. Why didnt you tell me in advance? Do you know how much damage his voice had done to my weak heart? Li Xiwus expression was honest. Actually 1 dont know. Qiao Qiao believed Li Xiwu when she saw her expression. Okay. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou had already walked over. He took off his coat. Li Xiwu reached out to take it and help him put it down. Pei Jingzhou said, Wait. Li Xiwu looked at him. Pei Jingzhou took out a dark burgundy velvet box from his coat pocket. Li Xiwu could guess that it was a ring without opening it. She said, Did you buy another ring? Pei Jingzhou was not surprised that she guessed correctly. He opened the velvet box. I dont know what to buy to coax you home. After thinking about it, I decided to buy a ring. Youve always liked diamonds. The box opened, and a fifteen-carat pink diamond appeared in Li Xiwus eyes. To Li Xiwu, who was already used to Pei Jingzhou giving her diamonds, this 15 -carat pink diamond was still beautiful. Without needing Pei Jingzhou to pick up the ring, she picked it up and put it on her middle finger. Yes, it looks good. Seeing her smile, Pei Jingzhou was also happy. My wife is the one who looks good. Li Xiwu looked up at him. Mr. Pei, your praise is too vulgar. Pei Jingzhou!s smile spread. Then what kind of praise do you want to hear? How can I say what I want to hear myself? Youll have to figure it out, she said, raising her hand to admire the pink diamond. Pei Jingzhou held her slender hand and rubbed his fingertips repeatedly. Should I praise you in private tonight? Li Xiwu glared at him. She indicated that there was someone else on the sofa. However, Qiao Qiao, who was sitting on the sofa, had already turned on the shielding mode when Pei Jingzhou came over. Her vision was blocked, but her ears were not. She had heard everything Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou were talking about. Fuck! A real couple was really good. They could drive at any time and without caring about the lives of others. Pei Jingzhou casually glanced at Qiao Qiao, who was sitting on the sofa, and raised his eyebrows. Miss Qiao, how have you been? Qiao Qiao straightened her back and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou with a smile. President Pei! Long time no see! Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. Miss Qiao, I havent heard from you since you returned to Xingzhou. Are you planning to stay in the capital for a long time or return to Xingzhou after a while? Qiao Qiao smiled back, but that smile looked dry. I-Ill be back in Xingzhou after a while. Xingzhou is far from the capital. Its hard to run on both sides. Its rare for you to come here. Why dont you stay for a while longer? Pei Jingzhous tone was very calm. Qiao Qiao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Pei Jingzhou didnt have any intention of asking questions. She slowly moved to the side and replied, Of course I want to stay in the capital forever. Its just that my hometown is in Xingzhou and Ive been wandering outside for almost four years. I have to go home for the New Year this year. When Pei Jingzhou heard this, he nodded in agreement. Its indeed time to go home for the New Year. Qiao Qiao laughed dryly. By then, she had moved to the sofa. Although Pei Jingzhou had never been mean to her, she was still a little afraid of his aura. When she moved to the side, she quickly got up and retreated. l suddenly remembered that I put my clothes in the washing machine just now. They should be done soon. Ill go take a look. And she slipped away. Li Xiwu watched Qiao Qiao slip away quickly and couldnt help but laugh. She turned around and said to Pei Jingzhou, Look at how scared Qiao Qiao is of you. Shes running so fast that her shadow is almost gone. Pei Jingzhou said, Firstly, I didnt shout at her, and secondly, I didnt mock her. I had nothing to do with scaring her off. It seemed that Pei Jingzhou had no idea how intimidating he was in front of Qiao Qiao, Li Xiwu smiled and pulled her hand out of Pei Jingzhous. Pei Jingzhou did not let go. She said, Let me see the ring. Pei Jingzhou still did not let go. He moved his fingers back. Look at it this way. Li Xiwu stopped looking at the ring and looked at Pei Jingzhou. Are you coming to pick me up? Pei Jingzhou said, Obviously. With that, he pulled her to sit down on the sofa and held her hand the entire time. Li Xiwu stopped trying to pull her hand back. She leaned against Pei Jingzhou and asked, Did you send Youyou to Grandmas place? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. He didnt mention that Youyou had been clamoring to find her, including going to the MO residence this morning and nagging all the way to fetch her mother. Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou. Five days. Did you miss me? Although she knew, she still wanted to hear him say it himself. Pei Jingzhou had never disappointed her. When she wanted to hear it, he answered seriously, l miss you. I miss you all the time. Li Xiwu smiled and teased, You sound like I abandoned you for five days. Pei Jingzhou said, Something like that. Li Xiwu retorted, How could that be? Its only five days. Pei Jingzhou had more reasons to refute than her. It cant be helped. Thats what wifey boys are like. A new word came out of Pei Jingzhous mouth. Li Xiwu was stunned for a long time. A wifey boy? Pei Jingzhou asked, Is it novel? Li Xiwu almost fainted from laughter. Thats enough. Whats enough? Ive been here for so long and havent kissed my wife. With that, Pei Jingzhou stuck close to her. Li Xiwu raised her hand to block him. With this raise of her hand and this angle, she realized that the pink diamond on her middle finger was really big. Pei Jingzhou took the opportunity to kiss her cheek while she was looking at the ring. Do you like it? l like it. Li Xiwu didnt hide her liking for this pink diamond ring. It was such a big pink diamond with such perfect cutting lines and a design. It was obvious that he had not bought it casually on the wav here. It should be She asked Pei Jingzhou, Did you buy it at Christies? Pei Jingzhous smile deepened. Guess again. Li Xiwu thought for a moment. Sothebys? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Yes. He took her slender and beautiful hand. l heard a while ago that there was a pink diamond in Fan Mao. The auction was set for the day before yesterday. Im not interested in it myself, but as soon as I heard that the pink diamond was fifteen carats, 1 went the day before yesterday. Its even more beautiful on your hand than I thought.. Chapter 499 - Chapter 499: Mr. Pei’s Heartfelt Words Chapter 499: Mr. Peis Heartfelt Words Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Not long after, it began to snow outside. It was cold. The fireplace in the Li Mansion was burning and filled with warmth. Uncle Cai was busy in the backyard, and Qiao Qiao had probably slipped to the backyard. Now, only Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou were in the entire huge living room. Five days was not long, but it felt like five years to Pei Jingzhou. He kept muttering in Li Xiwus ear, l havent eaten or slept well in the past five days. Im even distracted at work. He then picked up Li Xiwus hand and pressed it against his chest. Through the cashmere fabric, she felt the heat from his body. It was quite warm. As she warmed her hands, it burrowed into his clothes. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Did you feel it? Li Xiwu nodded. l feel it. Its quite warm. Im not asking you to feel warm, he said faintly. Li Xiwu pretended not to know. Then what do you want me to feel? Pei Jingzhou asked her, Dont you think Ive lost weight? She raised her hand and tapped his chest with her slender fingertips. It was a faint gesture that was a little seductive. Then she asked quietly, Well did you? Pei Jingzhou looked at her heartless expression and his molars itched. You didnt feel it at all? Li Xiwu looked at his gritted teeth and said with a smile, Okay I feel it. These words finally had a hint of coaxing. But that tone always sounded a little perfunctory. Pei Jingzhou grabbed her hand that was messing with his chest and said in a low voice, Ive really lost weight. Ill show you tonight. Li Xiwu bit her lower lip. Actually, I was lying when I said I felt it. Pei Jingzhous expression was dark. I could tell long ago. Li Xiwu looked up at him with a serious expression. The feeling is fake, but the vision is real. I noticed it when you came in just now. Fourth Brother, youve really lost some weight in the past five days. If what she said just now was a little coaxing, then her words now were really coaxing him. He loved every word he heard. Seeing that his expression had improved a lot, Li Xiwu thought to herself that this person was really easy to coax. It has been like this in the past and now. Nothing had changed after so many years. She retracted her hand from Pei Jingzhou. In the end, she couldnt pull it back after two tries. Pei Jingzhou clenched his fists tightly. Li Xiwu said, Before you came, Qiao Qiao and I were cutting paper. Weve already cut one. Ill cut another one and plan to put it on the wall in the bedroom upstairs. Pei Jingzhou let go. What was cut? Li Xiwu replied, A word. Scissors and paper cuttings were placed on the coffee table. If she kept cutting these, she could kill the afternoon. Li Xiwu picked up the scissors and paper cutting. Pei Jingzhou did not disturb Li Xiwu from continuing to cut. He casually picked up the paper cutting on the coffee table and opened it. It was a Fu e word. The cut was not exquisite. Pei Jingzhou gave an evaluation. Its barely neat. Li Xiwu was not angry when she heard that. She stuffed the scissors and paper cutting in her hand to Pei Jingzhou. l want a rabbit. Cut a rabbit for me. Pei Jingzhou looked at the scissors and paper she handed him and said honestly, l dont know how to. Then cut a puppy? she said. Pei Jingzhou said, l dont know that either. Li Xiwu looked at him calmly, her eyes full of mockery. Fourth Brother, what do you know how to cut? Pei Jingzhou returned the cutting paper to her and praised, l dont know how to cut anything. Mrs. Pei, you cut it well. Youre the best. Li Xiwu took the paper cut from Pei Jingzhou. Against your conscience. Pei Jingzhou retracted his gaze. How is it against my conscience? Its clearly from the bottom of my heart. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile so that she didnt laugh too much. Its a little perfunctory, but its nice. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and retorted, Perfunctory? How is it perfunctory? Mrs. Pei, you did a good job. Li Xiwu snorted. She had done it on purpose just now. The word fortune was indeed not well cut, but the level of what she had just learned was only so-so. There was still the upper limit, but it would take time. However, after Pei Jingzhou said that, she immediately became competitive. Seeing that Pei Jingzhou admitted defeat so easily, she smiled to herself and couldnt help but think of the past. In the past, Pei Jingzhou would compromise with her every time. Calculating the time, she had known him since she was five years old. Other than the three years when she lost her memory and got married, Pei Jingzhou had become a serf. She had been bullying Pei Jingzhou for the rest of the seventeen years. Thinking of this, Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. Pei Jingzhou asked her what she was laughing about. Li Xiwu moved the word away and moved closer to Pei Jingzhou. She looked up and asked him, When I think about how Ive bullied Fourth Brother for more than ten years, do you sometimes feel aggrieved? Aggrieved! Of course Im aggrieved. He finished her sentence with a resigned tone. Sometimes its so aggrieved to think about it. Its been more than ten years, not a few years. He acted it out. However, Li Xiwu could not tell and thought that Pei Jingzhou was taking the opportunity to talk to her. Guilt immediately rose. She straightened. l was a little naughty in the past. I was young and frivolous and insensible. Its different now. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Whats different now? Li Xiwu said, Now 1 know how to reason. Thinking about the past, how could she be willing to be reasonable? Sometimes, she was really domineering. However, Pei Jingzhou was willing to dote on her and spoil her, but she was still domineering. Then tell me a reason now. He waited patiently, rather seriously. Li Xiwu reached out to him and gently covered the back of his hand with her palm. Ill be gentler to you in the future. Pei Jingzhou looked at her calmly. Li Xiwu didnt hear him speak. She leaned closer to him. Im serious. Ill be gentler in the future and treat you well. Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and pointed between her eyebrows. l believe you Li Xiwu grinned. Before she could laugh for more than two seconds, he added, if Im a fool. I believe you if Im a fool. The smile on Li Xiwus lips froze as she waved his hand away. Between husband and wife Theres no trust between husband and wife. Pei Jingzhou seemed to know how to read minds and guessed everything she wanted to say. Mrs. Pei, is that what you want to say? Li Xiwu was instantly speechless. She admitted that she was occasionally at a disadvantage in terms of words. After all, the other party was Pei Jingzhou. She had to accommodate her husband. Although she was so clear-headed, she did not look happy. Pei Jingzhou saw it all. Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, Are you angry? Li Xiwu said nothing. She took the scissors and paper and cut the other word as quickly as possible. After cutting it, they would compare it. Well, it was barely symmetrical. Then, she took the word fortune and got up to walk upstairs. After taking a few steps, she did not hear a sound behind her. She turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou still sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a smile. Li Xiwu raised her hand and looked at the fifteen-carat pink diamond ring on her middle finger. She turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. In the end, she decided to turn back for the sake of the pink diamond. Fourth Brother, please go upstairs.. Chapter 500 - Chapter 500: With Mrs. Pei Coaxing Chapter 500: With Mrs. Pei Coaxing Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou handed Li Xiwu a hand. Hold my hand. Ah, you even became haughty. She reached over and didnt forget to tease him when she held his hand. Pei Jingzhou held her hand and stood up. l have no choice. Mrs. Pei dotes on me. Ill become haughty when I have to. Anyway, Mrs. Pei will coax me. Li Xiwu poked him in the side of the waist. Stop joking. Pei Jingzhou smiled and said, Even if Im not joking, Mrs. Pei will coax me. Li Xiwu couldnt be bothered to talk to him. The two of them went upstairs hand in hand. The bedroom where Li Xiwu lived was very clean. The first day shed come back to stay, shed tidied up her bedroom inside and out. Not much had changed in the furnishings, and the paintings on the walls hadnt moved. They were just badly dusty. Although Uncle Cai would clean regularly, there were always many hidden corners in the dust. Pei Jingzhou stood in front of the bookcase and looked at the photo frame placed on it. The photo inside was a photo of Li Xiwu when she was 11 years old. In the background were beaches and rows of coconut trees, and in the distance, blue waves. In the photo, Mr. and Mrs. Li were sitting on the beach. Li Xiwu was wearing a white dress and standing behind them, bending slightly to look at the camera. The wind on the beach was too strong, whipping her hair around. Pei Jingzhou picked up the photo frame and noticed that there was no dust on the glass. It had clearly been wiped many times. Li Xiwu pasted the two words fortune and came over to ask Pei Jingzhou, Is that okay? After asking, she noticed the photo frame in Pei Jingzhous hand and pursed her lips. This was not originally in the photo frame. Pei Jingzhou said, You changed it. Yes, I changed it. Li Xiwu took the photo frame from Pei Jingzhou and opened the clasp at the back. She took out the photo and placed it aside. Pei Jingzhou knew what she was going to do. She switched to another one. She must have changed a photo every day for the past few days. Li Xiwu took out the thick photo album from the drawer under the bookcase. She opened it to the third page and took out a photo. It was still a photo of a family of three, but Li Xiwu was only a year old in this photo and was in Mrs. Lis arms. Li Xiwu, who was more than a year old, was still young. She did not know how to look at the camera. When she looked around, she was photographed. She placed the photo in the frame and placed the one she had just taken out back into the photo album. After doing this, she handed the photo frame to Pei Jingzhou. Fourth Brother, let me show you how I was when 1 was young. Pei Jingzhou held the photo frame and smiled. Youyou does look like you. Hearing Pei Jingzhous words, Li Xiwu took the photo frame back from him and looked at it carefully. l dont think so myself, but now that you mention it, I think so too. It was said that a son was like their mother, and a daughter was more like their father. Perhaps because Yaoyao and Youyou were twins, Youyou looked like Li Xiwu when she was young, and Yaoyao looked more like Pei Jingzhou when he was young. This genetic inheritance was quite fair. Seeing that Li Xiwu was engrossed in the photo, Pei Jingzhou was worried that it would stir her feelings. He took the photo back and placed it on the bookcase. Its quite suitable here. Li Xiwu looked at the spot Pei Jingzhou had placed. Of course its suitable. It was placed there in the first place. Lets go see the words youve put up. He turned with her in his arms. Li Xiwu smiled. Dont worry. I wont trap myself easily. Its all in the past. The fact that she could say the words its all in the past made it clear that she had really let go. It was all in the past. Those were memories, but no one could erase them. They would always be in their hearts. At noon, Uncle Cai prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes. They were all Li Xiwus favorite dishes. After so many years, Cai Buqu would always remember what Li Xiwu liked to eat. Qiao Qiao also ate as much as she could. After a whirlwind, there was not much left on the table. At around three in the afternoon, Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou planned to go to the MO Residence. The two children were at the MO Residence. Li Xiwu persuaded Uncle Cai to go. But once Uncle Cai left, Qiao Qiao was the only one left in the Li mansion. In fact, Qiao Qiao wasnt afraid, but Li Xiwu was worried, so she took Qiao Qiao to the MO residence too. In the car back to the MO residence, Pei Jingzhou drove while Uncle Cai sat in the front passenger seat. Li Xiwu and Qiao Qiao sat in the back seat. Qiao Qiao grabbed Li Xiwus arm and asked, What if Shao Jingmo arrives in the capital early? Li Xiwu glanced sideways. Isnt that simple? Let him come to the MO Residence. He definitely wont come, Qiao Qiao said firmly. She thought of that proud man. He was very dictatorial and had always kept his word. He probably wouldnt let her stay in the MO residence. Li Xiwu didnt think so. She thought carefully and analyzed, Hes only one step away from taking charge of the Qiao family. Hes already a busy person now. In your grandfathers critical condition, he can completely take charge and not listen to your grandfathers arrangements. However, he still took the time to come to the capital this time. This means that he cares about you. When Qiao Qiao heard Li Xivvu say that Shao Jingmo cared about her, she quickly cleared her name. No, no, no. He doesnt care about me. Hes just putting on an act for Grandpa so that Grandpa can give him all the power in peace. Li Xiwu said, No, think about it carefully Theres no need to think about it. Qiao Qiaos tone was very firm, not giving Li Xiwu a chance to convince her at all. He came here specially for another reason. Besides, Shao Jingmo has business friends in the capital. It has nothing to do with me. Its just convenient. Li Xiwu looked at Qiao Qiao steadily. Qiaoer, youre really stubborn. Qiao Qiao was confused. Huh? Li Xiwu looked away. Nothing. In fact, Li Xiwu had been Qiao Qiaos close friend for three years. She knew Qiao Qiaos personality well. After thinking about Qiao Qiaos thoughts a little, she could guess why she was in such a hurry to clear her name. She was just feeling guilty. She looked silly, but in fact, she knew everything. Li Xiwu had seen through it just now. After being messed up by Qiao Qiao, she might as well not say anything even if she saw through it in the future and pretend not to know anything. The car arrived at the MO residence. Qiao Qiao was quite friendly wherever she went. It was mainly because she had a good personality. She was always enthusiastic and lively. When she saw Guan Suling, she shouted, Grandma! This voice shocked Guan Suling. When she saw that it was Li Xiwus friend, she gestured for Dao Xi and said, Miss Qiao, youre here. Go serve tea. l dont drink tea, Grandma. The smile on Qiaos pretty face was especially bright. I drink orange juice. Guan Suling looked at Qiao Qiaos lively and hot personality and naturally liked her a little, Dao Xi, go tell the kitchen to squeeze fresh orange juice. Dao Xi nodded. Aye, Ill go now. Guan Sulings gaze shifted and her attention landed on Li Xiwu. Before she could step forward, she suddenly heard Qiao Qiao shout Godson! Qiao Qiaos voice was loud. This sudden shout shocked even Li Xiwu, let alone Guan Suling. Beside her, Pei Jingzhou frowned. Qiao Qiao walked towards Yaoyao, who was coming out. Before Yaoyao could react, she hugged him and kissed his face. Yaoyao was shocked. Yaoyao turned around and looked at Li Xiwu in horror. Without hesitation, he called out, Mom.. Chapter 501 - Chapter 501: Treasure Chapter 501: Treasure Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Yaoyao never took the initiative to call her Mom. When he suddenly called her Mom just now, his voice was crisp and clear, surprising Li Xiwu. Even Pei Jingzhou was surprised. He glanced sideways at Li Xiwu and saw that she seemed to have yet to react to the way Yaoyao called her Mom. He clenched her palm and reminded her, Yangui called you. Li Xiwu came back to her senses and nodded. She walked towards Yaoyao. Qiao Qiao was still holding Yaoyao like a treasure. She kissed the left cheek and didnt let go of the right cheek. Yaoyaos terrified expression was heartbreaking and funny. Everyone around saw it, except Qiao Qiao herself! She kissed both sides of his face and did not let go of his forehead. When Yaoyao saw Li Xiwu coming over, he called out aggrievedly again, Mom. This Mom was soft in Li Xiwus heart. Usually, she had to coax Yaoyao to call them Mom and Dad. Now that he called her twice, it was obvious that he was really afraid. Just as Qiao Qiao was about to kiss Yaoyaos forehead, Li Xiwu reached out and covered Qiao Qiaos mouth. She was caught between laughter and tears. Thats enough. Look at how scared you made my son. How did I scare the little darling? Qiao Qiao still didnt notice and said firmly, Look at me. I gave you two kisses the moment we met. The little darling should be secretly happy. Li Xiwu reminded her, Look at Yaoyao. Qiao Qiao looked down at the little darling in her arms carefully. She hadnt felt it when she kissed him just now, but now that she looked closer, she realized that the little darling looked aggrieved, as if he had suffered a great grievance. Aiyoyo Qiao Qiao was caught between laughter and tears. She touched the little darlings face and said with heartache, Godmom cherishes Yaoyao so much that she cant help but kiss him twice. Why are you crying? Dont cry, dont cry. Ill kiss you again if you cry. Yaoyao didnt cry. But when Qiao Qiao said to not cry, Yaoyao felt even more aggrieved. He pouted, as if he would cry immediately if she said another word. Li Xiwu was shocked and quickly reached out. Yaoyao, come to Mom. Yaoyao bit her lip and walked towards Li Xiwu. Qiao Qiao was also afraid that the little guy would really cry. She let go and quickly pushed the Yaoyao to Li Xiwu. This was the first time she went to the MO residence, if she made Old Madam Mo t s biological grandson cry, she would be too embarrassed to eat at the table tonight. When Yaoyao reached Li Xiwus arms, he immediately reached out and wrapped his arms around Li XiWUS neck, leaning tightly into her arms. Because he had been frightened just now, he was already very aggrieved. Now that he was in Li Xiwus arms, he became even more confident. Li Xiwu coaxed gently, Its fine, its fine. Godmother just likes you too much. Yaoyao didnt say anything. Qiao Qiao felt guilty when she saw this scene and pretended to look away as if nothing had happened. She turned her gaze and saw another small figure leisurely walking over with her hands in her pockets. The little figure was the little girl. She braided two hairs, one on each side. Because it was cold, she even wore a furry brown hat on her head. The little girl was also wearing thick clothes. She was covered in brown mink fur and looked very round and noble. Qiao Qiaos eyes lit up and she waved her hand. Hey! Little Pomelo! Pei Jingzhou saw Qiao Qiao torturing his daughter after his son. He turned and asked, Miss Qiao, do you like children? When they arrived at the MO residence, Qiao Qiao was not so obvious that she was afraid of Pei Jingzhou. She cleared her throat and replied, l do. Mr. Pei, your children are especially cute and likable. Which parent didnt like to hear others praise their child? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Its a good thing that Miss Qiao likes children. You can plan early. A plan a plan? Qiao Qiao paused for a moment before asking, What plan? Pei Jingzhous smile did not fade. Isnt Miss Qiao married? Qiao Qiao stammered, Sort of. Pei Jingzhou said, Sort of? Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth. Yes. Getting married was the most taboo thing for Qiao Qiao to mention outside because she didnt admit to this marriage. Although she didnt admit it, it wasnt a pain that couldnt be poked. It was just because she was very unhappy to hear it. However, the person who brought this up was Pei Jingzhou. Qiao Qiao could only suppress her displeasure and understand what Pei Jingzhous so-called plan was. She replied calmly, We have to consider this matter. Its still too early. Newlyweds naturally have to enjoy the world of two people. Besides, my situation is different from yours At this point, she immediately changed the topic to Pei Jingzhou. President Pei, look. You and Xixi have never experienced the stage of raising children. Youre so happy now. Your son and daughter could be independent now! I cant even be envious of this. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Envious? Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes, yes. Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. Is that so? I understand. Qiao Qiao was at a loss. She wanted to ask what he understood. Why did his smile make her panic? Forget it. She shouldnt ask. Qiao Qiao didnt want to let go of the opportunity to get close to Youyou. She walked towards Youyou with a smile. At this moment, Youyou was walking over leisurely. Her big eyes darted around. There were so many people. Could it be that Dad had picked Mom up? Thinking that she would be able to see her mother soon, Youyou ran even faster with her short legs. As a result, she was stopped by Qiao Qiao as soon as she reached the front hall. She tried to circle around the person blocking her, but she realized that she couldnt. Youyou looked up at the person blocking her way. She was familiar. She had seen her that day. She was her mothers good friend. Youyou said sweetly, Pretty Sister Aye Q Qiao Qiao was touched by the word pretty sister. Qiao Qiao wanted to hug and kiss Youyou like she did with Yaoyao just now, but she was afraid that she would make Youyou cry later, so she resisted the urge to hug Youyou and kiss her fiercely. She suddenly regretted following them in a hurry and not buying a gift for the two little guys. Sigh, she was really not a qualified godmother. With this guilt, Qiao Qiao planned to just give her a hug. She squatted down. Can Pretty Sister hug Youyou? Youyou was very generous. She didnt even answer if she could. She threw herself into Qiao Qiaos arms and hugged her neck. Qiao Qiao was already surprised and pleasantly surprised by her initiative. Youyou created a more pleasant surprise. She cupped Qiao Qiaos face with her small arms and pouted as she kissed her. Mua Wow, Qiao Qiao was stunned. Before she could react, Youyou kissed her on the other cheek again. Now both sides are the same. Youyou held Qiao Qiaos face and asked, Where else do you want to kiss, pretty sister? Qiao Qiao was so happy that the corners of her mouth were about to crack. Thats enough, thats enough. Pretty Sister isnt greedy. Haha, Im super satisfied. Qiao Qiao was really satisfied. Youyous initiative made her so happy that she almost danced. If not for the fact that there were so many people standing here, she would really dance on the spot. As expected, others children were still the cutest. She wanted to kiss Youyou, but she was afraid that her drool would be on Youyou when she kissed her back, so she made a flying kiss gesture and moved away from Youyou. Go find your mother quickly. Chapter 502 - Chapter 502: Want My Wife to Accompany Me Chapter 502: Want My Wife to Accompany Me Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Youyou ran happily towards Li Xiwvu. Momet Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! Youyou shouted a few times. Even though Li Xiwu was holding Yaoyao in her arms, Youyou was not afraid that she would not have a seat. After running to Li Xiwu, she opened her hands and hugged Yaoyao. Li Xiwu freed one hand and pulled Youyou into her arms. With the two babies in her arms, nothing could be more satisfying than this moment. Her eyes were filled with gentleness as she reached out and rubbed Youyous chubby little face. Did you miss Mommy? Youyou pouted. l really miss Mom. Dad didnt lie to me. He really brought Mom back. Youyou is so happy. Mom misses you guys, too, she said. Seeing that the two little fellows eyes were filled with her, Li Xiwu felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Even though they had only been apart for five days, she still felt a little guilty because she had not told the two little fellows in advance before she went to stay at the Li Mansion. By the time the two little fellows could not find her, she had already moved to the Li Mansion. Youyou felt that she was not close enough to her mother. She pushed her brother, who was smothered in her mothers arms. She used very little strength. Yaoyao felt it and looked up at Youyou. Youyou said, Brother, Youyou cant touch Mommy anymore. Move. Yaoyao silently moved to the side to make some space for Youyou. Youyou was so happy that her eyes curved into crescents. Thank you, Brother m Yaoyao pursed his lips and said in a much softer voice than Youyou, Youre welcome. Li Xiwu felt relieved. Even after squatting for a long time, her legs did not feel sore. Pei Jingzhou came over and pulled Youyou and Yaoyao out to help her up. If you continue squatting like this, your legs will go numb. Li Xiwu whispered, Its already numb. Pei Jingzhou was about to reach out. Ill carry you. No need. She quickly pushed Pei Jingzhous hand away. When she looked up, she saw her grandmother and Qiao Qiao secretly laughing. Tonights dinner was especially sumptuous. There were many people too. It was lively and the atmosphere was good. Qiao Qiao was the only outsider at the dining table. Fortunately, she was especially friendly. After eating, she almost couldnt keep her mouth busy. She picked up some food and chatted with Guan Suling. Guan Suling liked Qiao Qiaos personality very much because Qiao Qiaos current personality always reminded her of Li You in the past. Shao Jingmo arrived even earlier than Jiang Lin had told Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao had thought that he would arrive in the middle of the night, but she received a call from Shao Jingmo at nine-oh-five. At that moment, Qiao Qiao thought that Shao Jingmo was about to board the plane and was too busy munching on melon seeds to care about other things. She quickly said, l know youre boarding. Theres still four more hours. Rest well on the plane. Call me when you get here. With that, she prepared to hang up. Shao Jingmos cold voice came from the phone. Im at the airport. Qiao Qiao said, l know. Shao Jingmo said, Im in the capital. Qiao Qiao said, l know what do you mean youre in the capital? There was no sound on the other end of the line. After about seven or eight seconds, there was still no sound. Qiao Qiao took down her cell phone and looked at the screen. The call was maintained and the call was not hung up. Qiao Qiao swallowed. Um did you just get here? She waited for another five or six seconds before she heard Shao Jingmo reply, Yes. Qiao (Xiaos expression was almost twisted. It was tine if this Shao guy came early, but why did he come so early?! Not daring to let her mind wander for too long, she immediately asked, Then where are you now? The airport. Did you call a cab? she asked apprehensively. Shao Jingmos tone was calm, and no emotions could be heard. What do you think? Qiao Qiao asked casually, You didnt come alone this time, did you? Shao Jingmo still said, What do you think? Qiao Qiaos heart skipped a beat. You didnt even bring a bodyguard? There was silence on the line again. Qiao Qiao realized that she was asking some inexplicable questions. Could it be that she could bully Shao Jingmo without his bodyguards? Dream on. After ending the call in a hurry, Qiao Qiao deliberated over her words and planned to bid Matriarch MO farewell. Before she could formulate her words, Guan Suling asked her, Qiao, whose call made you frown so often? Qiao Qiao stammered, Its, its an elder in the family. Guan Suling asked, Your father or your mother? Qiao Qiao looked down and said in a much softer voice than before, My Little Uncle. Guan Suling didnt know about Qiao Qiaos situation. She guessed from the contents of the call when Qiao Qiao answered the phone just now, Your Little Uncle is in the capital? Qiao Qiao nodded. Guan Suling asked, Just arrived? Qiao Qiao nodded again. Guan Suling beckoned Dao Xi over. Go make the arrangements. Prepare a car to go to the airport to fetch Qiaoers uncle. Dao Xi nodded. Yes. Qiao Qiao quickly stopped him. No need! This voice was a little loud. Guan Suling was fine, she was used to it after this afternoon. Dao Xi was shocked again and turned to look at Qiao Qiao. Miss Qiao? Qiao Qiao wanted to reject Matriarch Mo t s good intentions, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she gave up and pretended to be happy. Then sorry to trouble you. Ill go with you. My uncle is more vigilant. He might not believe me on the phone, so I have to go with him. Guan Suling nodded. Thats fine. Then go with Dao Xi and come back early. Qiao Qiao agreea. yes. Dao Xi gestured for her to come in. This way, Miss Qiao. Qiao Qiao nodded and walked in the direction Dao Xi had pointed. In the car. Dao Xi sat in the front passenger seat. The chauffeur was about to drive when Dao Xi turned to ask Qiao Qiao, Miss Qiao, which terminal is your uncle in? Qiao Qiao forgot to ask and quickly picked up her phone. Let me ask. Dao Xi said, Okay. She sent Shao Jingmo a WeChat message and waited anxiously for his reply. Fortunately, she did not wait long before Shao Jingmo replied: Terminal Three. Qiao Qiao immediately looked up and said to Dao Xi, Terminal three. Dao Xi nodded and gestured for the chauffeur to drive. Li Xiwu came out to look for Qiao Qiao. She learned from her grandmother that Qiao Qiao had gone out to pick up her Little Uncle. Li Xiwu looked at the time. Hes here? Guan Suling asked, You knew her Little Uncle was coming tonight? Li Xiwu nodded. I heard Qiao Qiao mention it today. She didnt say much. That was Qiao Qiao!s private matter. Guan Suling didnt ask further. She stood up and said, Yaoyao and Youyou will sleep with me tonight. Ill go pick them up. Li Xiwu probably felt that Yaoyao and Youyou would not go to her grandmothers side obediently. Unexpectedly, she thought too much. Yaoyao and Youyou obediently followed their grandmother. The two little guys waved at her and said, Good night, Mom. Li Xiwu leaned against the door frame and waved her hand. She watched the backs of the two children get further and further away, her eyes filled with satisfaction. Pei Jingzhou walked over from behind her. When are you going to sleep? Li Xiwu leaned against the door frame without moving. Im waiting for Qiao Qiao to come back. Shes not alone. Theres no need to wait for her. Pei Jingzhous arm came around her waist in a restraining posture. Li Xiwu looked down at the hand on her waist and said deliberately, Go to sleep if you want. Pei Jingzhou slowly tightened his arms and said naturally, Im afraid of sleeping alone. I need my wife to accompany me.. Chapter 503 - Chapter 503: Worried About Him Chapter 503: Worried About Him Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao didnt pick up Shao Jingmo at all when she reached Terminal Three. When she called him, she found out that he had already left the airport and had arrived at the hotel he was staying at. He was simply toying with her! Qiao Qiao was furious. When she was on the phone with Shao Jingmo, she was obsequious. After the call ended, she kept cursing. This dog man! No! Hes not even a man! He should be a dog! Is it fun to play with me? Cant you tell me before you go to the hotel? I made a wasted trip! Dog, dog, dog! She thought her scolding was pretty nasty. But the driver and Dao Xi in front of them couldnt help but laugh. However, Dao Xi was a little surprised. Wasnt it a little immoral for Miss Qiao, as a niece, to scold her biological uncle like this? Forget it. This wasnt his business. When people were angry, they really couldnt control their mouths. Besides, Miss Qiaos Little Uncle was indeed unkind. He knew that they would pick him up, but he went to the hotel alone first. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was furious, Dao Xi comforted her and asked, Miss Qiao, are you going to the hotel now? What am I going for! Im not going! Qiao Qiao didnt even think about it and said she wouldnt go, Dao Xi naturally listened to Qiao Qiao. She turned around and instructed the chauffeur, Go back to the old residence. The chauffeur agreed and changed the route. The atmosphere in the car quickly quietened down. Qiao Qiao stopped scolding. She looked silently at the buildings that kept retreating outside the car window. Under her vision, they were colorful and dazzling. The night scenery on this road was indeed beautiful. As she watched, she recalled the call with Shao Jingmo just now. Shao Jingmo sounded very tired when he spoke to her. Was he very tired? Or was he not feeling well? She thought about it for a long time and kept fighting in her heart. Seeing that they were less than two minutes away from the MO residence, Qiao Qiao finally changed her mind and shouted, Stop the car! The chauffeur found a suitable spot and pulled over. When the car stopped, Dao Xi turned around and asked, Miss Qiao, where Hey, Miss Qiao, where are you going? Qiao Qiao had already opened the car door. l remembered that I have something to deal with. You guys can go back first. Dont wait for me. With that, she pushed open the car door and got out. Dao Xi immediately got out of the car and went forward to block Qiao Qiaos way. Miss Qiao, Matriarch has instructed me to stay by your side and protect you until you return to the MO residence. Although Li Xiwu hadnt mentioned Qiao Qiaos matter to Guan Suling, she had specially mentioned the matter of ensuring Qiao Qiaos safety. Guan Suling had remembered it in her heart, which was why she had sent the most trusted Dao Xi to send Qiao Qiao to the airport. Dao Xi was worried that Qiao Qiao would leave alone at this time. If anything happened, he wouldnt be able to report back. Therefore, he could only forcefully stop Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao didnt want to trouble Dao Xi. She just didnt want to trouble them. After a few words of communication, she returned to the car under Dao Xis persuasion and gave the address she was going to. When Dao Xi heard it was some hotel, he instantly understood what was going on. It turned out that Miss Qiao was still worried about her Little Uncle on the surface and wanted to go over and take a look. The hotel was not far from here. After arriving at the hotel more than ten minutes later, Dao Xi personally sent Qiao Qiao up. She found the door number and raised her hand to knock, but no one came to open the door. Dao Xi asked, Miss Qiao, are you sure its this room? Qiao Qiao was very sure at first. She had already read the hotel location and door number Shao Jingmo had sent her many times in the car. Now that Dao Xi had asked, she was suddenly not so sure. She picked up her phone and looked at it. She repeatedly compared it to the room number. When she was sure, she said, Its this one. Dao Xi said, Then Ill go to the hotel front desk. Qiao Qiao nodded. Thank you. After watching Dao Xi leave, Qiao Qiao leaned against the door frame and waited. She didnt know if it was really such a coincidence, but not long after Dao Xi left, the door opened. Qiao Qiao was stunned for two seconds, then quickly stood up and looked up at the person inside. It had been a while since she last saw Shao Jingmo. When she saw him again, she almost thought that she had knocked on the wrong door. The person inside did not look like the usually well-dressed Shao Jingmo. He looked extremely haggard. It was as if he was terminally ill. Qiao Qiao had never seen Shao Jingmo like this before and was almost frightened. She stuttered for a long time and couldnt say a word. She just stared at him in a daze. Shao Jingmos gaze stopped on Qiao Qiaos beautiful face. His eyes were calm. After looking at each other for a moment, he spoke first. Its been a few days since we last met. Dont you recognize me? Qiao Qiao suddenly came back to her senses. This time, she was certain that the person in front of her was Shao Jingmo. Although he looked haggard and not as high-spirited as usual, she could tell that it was Shao Jingmos voice. She quickly adjusted her expression and retorted, Thats right. Its only been a few days since we last met. How is Little Uncle terminally ill? The New Year is in twenty days. Can you last until the New Year? Faced with Qiao Qiaos mocking tone, Shao Jingmo didnt mind. Before turning around and going in, he threw her a sentence. Dont worry. I wont let you be a widow for three to five years. The sneer on Qiao Qiaos lips faded a little as she followed Shao Jingmo in. If I understand correctly, Ill really be a widow in three to five years? l can die early, too, if thats how you interpret it, he said in a flat tone. Qiao Qiaos expression suddenly changed. She was shocked and surprised, but she quickly regained her composure and thought that Shao Jingmo was joking. If she wanted him to die early, would he really die early? Hah, the real probability was that he was not dead even after she died. Qiao Qiao didnt take it seriously. Thats not funny at all. Shao Jingmo turned around. Qiao Qiao stopped abruptly and bumped into him a little later. What? Are you angry because I didnt catch your cold joke? She was a little bolder now and was not as afraid of him as before. Moreover, he did not bring anyone with him when he came to the capital this time. It was equivalent to being alone. She even had the confidence to speak to him. Shao Jingmos expression was unreadable. You think this is a joke? Qiao Qiao shrugged. Isnt it? Shao Jingmo retracted his gaze. Yes. Qiao Qiao smiled. l told you so. But although your cold joke isnt funny, its indeed a little cold. Who says they can die early? She said the last sentence casually, but when Shao Jingmo heard it, his depressed mood actually eased a little. Even the wound on his waist did not hurt so much. The young ladys words were occasionally infuriating, but sometimes they were sweet. Unknowingly, a smile appeared on his lips. Qiao Qiao had caught him. She guessed that it was because of what she had just said that his expression improved a little.. Chapter 504 - Chapter 504: Are They Husband and Wife? Chapter 504: Are They Husband and Wife? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the past, she would only feel happy if she always made things difficult for him. Now that she saw his state Sigh, in the end, she could not bear it and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Shao Jingmo returned to the bed and sat down. His every move was extremely slow, and it was obvious that he was different from usual. Qiao Qiao, who wasnt very meticulous, also sensed that something was wrong with him. Thinking about how weak his voice was on the phone, she couldnt help but ask, Hey, are you alright? Shao Jingmo looked up at her. You dont know how to greet people anymore? Qiao Qiao: See, she knew she shouldnt have felt sorry for him. This man was not worthy of her heartache at all. It was not like he would lose a piece of meat with a hey. Qiao Qiao cursed in her heart, but on the surface, she looked obedient. Little Uncle. Shao Jingmo leaned back and nodded without looking at her. Actually, you dont have to come. On the one hand, you didnt need me to come over, and on the other hand, you sent me the location and door number. Did I get the wrong meaning? Qiao Qiao walked to the bed and crossed her arms. Its also my fault. 1 have to understand that you were only reporting your safety and didnt mean to let me come over Shao Jingmo interrupted her. Thats not what I meant. Qiao Qiao choked. Shao Jingmo opened his eyes and looked up at her. His voice was low. You can leave if you want. Im fine here. Dont worry. Whos worried about you? Qiao Qiaos reaction was especially sensitive, as if she was afraid that Shao Jingmo would misunderstand. Mom told me that you were coming to the capital. I thought that since I didnt pick you up, I had to see you. That way, 1 could answer to Mom. The corners of Shao Jingmos lips curled up slightly. Youve seen me now. You can go back first. Go back was speechless for a moment. Shao Jingmo asked, Are you staying at the MO residence today? Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Yes! Shao Jingmo said, Then go back to the MO residence first. Ill pick you up tomorrow morning. Qiao Qiao: Was he chasing her away? Qiao Qiao stared at Shao Jingmo and took a closer look. Seeing that he didnt seem to be joking, she slowly took half a step out. After taking half a step, she glanced at Shao Jingmo again. There was still no movement, so she turned around and left boldly. As she reached the door, she saw Dao Xi approaching with a room service. Miss Qiao? Dao Xi looked at Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao quickly came out and closed the door. Theres nothing else. Uncle needs to rest. Lets go back to the MO residence now. Dao Xi didnt ask any questions. He nodded and turned to explain the situation to room service. The attendant breathed a sigh of relief. Thats good. Im glad hes okay. Dao Xi took an extra precaution, and asked, Whats wrong? The attendant followed beside Dao Xi and said as they walked, At that time, the guest in room 9982 came to register for a room. His face was frighteningly pale, and we felt that he would faint at any moment. We were not too relieved, so we followed him up and only dared to leave after seeing him enter the guest room. When we heard you mention this guest room just now, we were all terrified. We thought something had happened to the guest in this guest room. As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned. Dao Xi and the attendant looked at her at the same time. Qiao Qiao asked the room service man, You said that when he came in to register for a room, his face was frighteningly pale? The attendant nodded. Yes. Qiao Qiao said, Just now, he came down to look for you to open the door to room 9982 Qiao Qiao pointed at Dao Xi beside her and continued, Did you think something happened to the guest in room 9982? The attendant nodded again. Yes. With that, the attendant raised the phone in his hand. Im ready to call 120 at any time, but maam, you just came out of room 9982. The guest in room 9982 should be fine, right? Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and remained silent. When she went in just now, Shao Jingmo did not look like nothing had happened. Shao Jingmos expression was verv bad. She even complained that he was as haggard as a terminal illness Was it possible that he had been holding on since the moment she saw him? Was Shao Jingmo sick? His voice was so tired, and heisface was so pale and haggard. It was obvious from his reaction! But she didnt take it seriously! Qiao Qiao pushed the two people in front of her away and quickly turned back. Realizing the door was closed, she waved to the attendant. Come and open the door for a moment. The attendant didnt ask why. It was mainly because they were afraid that something would happen to the guest inside and they would have to take responsibility. He quickly came over with a secondary card. There was a beep and the door opened. Qiao Qiao walked in quickly. When she saw Shao Jingmo lying on the bed with his eyes closed, her breathing stopped and her heart skipped a beat. Shao Jingmo! She hurried over. She knelt on one knee at the edge of the bed and reached out to shake Shao Jingmos shoulder. At first, it was a light shake, but Shao Jingmo did not react. Qiao Qiaos voice trembled involuntarily. Shao Shao Jingmo? Dao Xi and the attendant, who had followed in, saw this scene and their expressions changed. Dao Xi stepped forward to help. With trembling hands, the attendant clicked on the dial to dial 120. Qiao Qiao didnt wake Shao Jingmo up. She wanted to help him up, but she was too weak. Shao Jingmo was 1.87 meters tall, so it was difficult for her to even help him up. Qiao Qiao was anxious. She said in a nasal voice, Shao Jingmo, nothing must happen to you. If you die, Ill be a widow at a young age Beside her, Dao Xi, who was about to reach out to help, widened his eyes when he heard Qiao Qiaos words! Wasnt this the relationship between Little Uncle and his niece? How did they become husband and wife?? Dao Xi was dumbfounded and his mind was in a mess! Qiao Qiao turned around and saw that Dao Xi was stunned and not helping. Just as she was about to ask him for help, a calm voice fell into her ears Afraid of becoming a widow? Hearing Shao Jingmos voice, Qiao Qiao was stunned. She slowly turned around and saw Shao Jingmo looking at her with a faint smile. In just a second, Qiao Qiaos face turned red. However, her physical reaction was half a beat too slow and she did not get up from Shao Jingmos body. Shao Jingmo raised his hand and his palm naturally landed on her waist. That slender waist was easily controlled in his palm. It was a very ambiguous posture, but no one had any romantic thoughts. He pushed her a little harder with his arm. Get up first. Qiao Qiao was angry and ashamed. She only remembered to get up from his body after he reminded her. She didnt pay much attention when she got up and accidentally pressed her hand on the wound on her waist. The pain was magnified at this moment. Shao Jingmo frowned. Qiao Qiao thought he was pretending. How much do I weigh? Thats enough to make you feel so weak. Her casual words didnt go through her head. If she said them, she said them. Then she realized belatedly that shed expressed them a little strangely. They havent had sex yet. Why did she say he was weak? Dao Xi felt a little awkvvard beside them and did not dare to ask about their true relationship. At this moment, he interrupted, Mr. Qiao Uh, Mr. Shao, how are you? Do you need to go to the hospital? Shao Jingmo said, No need.. Chapter 505 - Chapter 505: Tsk, His Body Is Quite Good Chapter 505: Tsk, His Body Is Quite Good Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Dao Xi asked, So does Mr. Shao need anything else? Shao Jingmo said, Get out. Okay. Dao Xi knew his limits and didnt ask any more questions. When he left, he didnt forget to call the attendant out with him. The attendant asked if he still wanted to call the emergency number. Dao Xi shook his head. Not for a while, After the two of them left, the guest room instantly fell silent. Qiao Qiao carefully observed Shao Jingmos condition. His face was even paler than when she first came in. She didnt know what was wrong with him. She wanted to show some concern, but she felt that she was being nosy. What if she looked at it from another angle? She did not treat him as her husband or Little Uncle. It was fine to treat him as an ordinary elder and show concern. Qiao Qiao quickly convinced herself. She stammered, Are you feeling unwell? The atmosphere was quiet. Shao Jingmo looked up at her and did not say anything. Qiao Qiao felt depressed. She had put down her prejudice and cared about him, but this person was still holding back. Forget it. It had nothing to do with her even if he died. Although she thought so, Qiao Qiao couldnt control this considerate mouth. If youre feeling unwell, tell me. Ill take you to the hospital. Shao Jingmo shook his head. Qiao Qiao frowned. But you look awful. Is he alright? Seriously, he refused to say anything. Was she so untrustworthy? Qiao Qiao was very angry. It was fine if she couldnt control her considerate mouth, but she also couldnt control her legs that were moving closer to him. She approached the bed and leaned over to press the back of her hand against his forehead. Feeling that her temperature was normal, she muttered in a low voice, Its not hot She quickly asked him, Shao Jingmo, whats wrong? Shao Jingmo said indifferently, Im fine. Qiao Qiao said, l dont believe you. Shao Jingmo: Actually, he was injured. He had suffered this injury in Xingzhou, so he came early with his injuries because he was worried about her safety. Shao Jingmo did not intend to tell her about his physical condition. He knew that even if he did, she might not care. Shao Jingmo, are you going to tell me or not? Qiao Qiao was anxious. Shao Jingmo asked, Say what? Qiao Qiao asked anxiously, Whats wrong with your body? Shao Jingmo still said, Im fine. He must be lying to her! Seeing that Shao Jingmo refused to say anything, Qiao Qiao leaned closer to take a look. She bent down and closed the distance between them, so close that their breaths intertwined. It wasnt like she hadnt spoken so close to him before. Qiao Qiao tried her best to ignore Shao Jingmo, who was so close to her, and carefully checked if there was anything wrong with him. Shao Jingmos gaze landed on her face and the side of her neck. There was a faint jasmine fragrance on her body that entered his nose. He quietly watched as she got closer and closer to him. When she got closer, his Adams apple moved slightly and bobbed up and down. Qiao Qiao hadnt realized that she was so focused on Shao Jingmo. The hotel was heated. Shao Jingmo was not dressed thickly except for a black shirt. She knew that he loved to wear black shirts. He was tall and straight, with wide shoulders and a narrow waist. The ratio was astonishing. She had never touched this good figure carefully. This was the first time today. With that guilty feeling, her fingers went numb as if shed been electrocuted when they touched his chest. She told herself it wasnt psychological. This was static electricity. It was normal to rub against static electricity in winter. Her hand moved down inch by inch. She didnt even notice when she lost her sense of boundaries. The only thing she could feel was the incomparably hot gaze above her head. She ignored it and continued to feel down. Tsk, he had a good figure. She knew that Shao Jingmo was very self-disciplined, but most men his age had already started to gain weight. On the other hand, his abs were still so well-defined. He was a little too self-disciplined. The male models in the nightclub couldnt compare to him in figure. Qiao Qiaos mind was in a mess. Her eyes, which were staring at Shao Jingmos body, were almost translucent as she looked through Shao Jingmos body from head to toe. She cursed herself for being a pervert, but in the next second, she comforted herself. She was a normal woman. Wasnt it normal for her to look at beautiful things? She knew how to comfort herself! Just as her hand was about to reach her waist, she heard a muffled sound above her head. Qiao Qiaos first reaction was: Oh no, oh no, he got a reaction However, her second reaction was not to look up at Shao Jingmos expression, but down. Shao Jingmos voice deepened. What are you looking at? Qiao Qiao said without thinking, l thought I got a reaction from you. The atmosphere was deathly silent. After saying that, Qiao Qiaos mind went blank for a few seconds before she realized how fierce she had been just now. How dare she say such things in front of Shao Jingmo? She didnt dare to look up at Shao Jingmos face and turned to look behind her. When she realized that Dao Xi and that room service were gone, she let out a sigh of relief. Thank God. Qiao Guigui. Shao Jingmo called her hoarsely. Qiao Qiao kept glancing at him, not daring to look him in the eye. She stammered, Huh? The next second, her hand was grabbed by Shao Jingmos hand. She subconsciously retracted her hand, but Shao Jingmos grip on her hand was very tight. While she was panicking, she saw Shao Jingmos deep eyes, and her heart raced. Shao Jingmo held her hand and slowly moved it up his waist. Qiao Qiaos mind was in a mess. She thought he was going to take her hand and check his body reaction. Her breath quickened at the thought of touching that thing. Dont, she pleaded softly. Shao Jingmo asked calmly, Dont? Qiao Qiao was extremely embarrassed. know youre a normal man and will have a normal reaction, but I wont touch you. Shao Jingmo asked, Touch what? Qiao Qiao found it difficult to speak. That. Shao Jingmo smiled. Which one? She was so guilty that her legs went weak. She didnt even know how to plead for mercy. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were wet, like a frightened deer in the forest. It was difficult for Shao Jingmo to ignore them. He stopped teasing her and brought her hand to rest at his waist. Here. Qiao Qiao was dumbfounded. Huh? Shao Jingmo repeated, Here. Qiao Qiao realized that she was thinking too much. She had thought that she would touch something protruding. Sigh, she was really shameless. She would never dare to talk nonsense again. She followed the direction Shao Jingmo had pointed out and looked down. It was Shao Jingmos waist. What happened there? Was he hurt? Qiao Qiaos relaxed brows furrowed again. This time, she didnt need to exert any strength and easily separated from his palm. Her fingertips tentatively tapped the area around his waist and abdomen. She asked him, Whats wrong here? Shao Jingmo said indifferently, I suffered some light injuries. Qiao Qiaos heart tightened when she heard him say that he was injured. No wonder he had held it for so long and refused to say. He was injured. Qiao Qiao reached out and lifted his clothes. Let me see. Shao Jingmo gently pressed her hand down. You dont have to look. Its fine. Qiao Qiao asked, Why cant I see it? Shao Jingmo looked at her. Im afraid Ill scare you. The words Im afraid Ill scare you made Qiao Qiao feel as if her heart had been hit hard. It was a very subtle feeling. Stubbornly, she went to lift the hem of his shirt. Ill just take a look. I dont believe lifting it will be a bloody image. She insisted on opening it, so Shao Jingmo did not stop her and let her open it. However, after Qiao Qiao lifted it, she immediately pulled down his shirt to cover it in less than two seconds. She turned to look at Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo sounded tired. Were you frightened? Qiao Qiao said in a nasal voice, Its really bleeding. Afraid that she would cry, Shao Jingmo pushed her away. Go back to the MO residence first. Ill pick you up tomorrow morning. He began to shoo her away. Qiao Qiao refused to leave. Shao Jingmo, go to the hospital. Your wound needs to be bandaged again. She wasnt curious about how hed gotten hurt now. She just wanted him to hurry to the hospital to bandage it. Theres no need to go to the hospital. Its just a small injury, he rejected flatly. Qiao Qiao didnt know where she got her courage from, but she immediately said, If you dont go to the hospital to bandage your wound again, Ill divorce you now. Shao Jingmo looked at her deeply. Really? Qiao Qiao said firmly, Really. Shao Jingmo chuckled. His indifferent expression made Qiao Qiaos heart suffocate. She thought that he didnt take it seriously, but then she heard him say, Divorce is better than being widowed.. In order not to make you a widow early, I have to wait until the day you mention divorce to me, dont you think? Chapter 506 - Chapter 506: Does It Hurt? Chapter 506: Does It Hurt? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao was speechless, not knowing how to refute what he had just said. The atmosphere gradually froze. She suddenly understood that Shao Jingmo was trying to chase her away. Did he not want her to see him in such a sorry state? Now that she thought about it, that was possible. Qiao Qiao quickly composed herself and couldnt be bothered to argue with his dictatorial temper. Her gaze stopped at his waist. l dont know why you dont want to go to the hospital, but your injuries clearly need to be treated again. If you trust me, 1 can help you. The main reason she said that was because she wanted to see how badly injured he was so that she could know. As for whether she knew how to treat the wound, she knew a little, but it was definitely different from professional medical staff. It all depended on Shao Jingmo. She waited quietly for Shao Jingmos attitude, thinking that he would most likely refuse. She would grind him again until he made a choice. He would either go to the hospital or let her do it. However, Shao Jingmos attitude surprised her. He actually agreed. Sure. Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows. Do you trust me? Shao Jingmos lips twitched. I do. Qiao Qiao smiled dryly. l dont even trust myself. Youre my wife, the closest person to me. Who would I trust if not you? His tone was so calm that there was no fluctuation. It was clearly a heart-wrenching statement, but it sounded especially flat coming from him now. Alright, alright, stop talking. Thats strange. Qiao Qiao did feel uncomfortable when she heard that. Right now, she was most worried about his injuries and was also afraid that he would hurt badly. She turned and went out. Dao Xi and room service were waiting outside together. Qiao Qiao came out and asked the room service directly, Do you have a first aid kit? Room service nodded. Yes, Ill get it now. Dao Xi asked, Miss Qiao, how is Mr. Shao? Qiao Qiao was about to say that he was injured when she suddenly remembered Shao Jingmos attitude towards his injuries. She guessed that he didnt want anyone else to know about his injuries. She replied, He seems to have a cold, but its nothing serious. Hell be fine after taking his medicine. When she said this, Qiao Qiao didnt realize that her words didnt match. Dao Xi knew in his heart, but how could a cold use a first aid kit? It obviously wasnt as simple as a small cold, but Dao Xi didnt ask too many questions he shouldnt have. He silently retreated to the side. Room service quickly delivered the first-aid kit. After handing the first aid kit to Qiao Qiao, the door was closed by Qiao Qiao before he could ask if she needed help. Qiao Qiao carried the first aid kit to the bed. Seeing that Shao Jingmos eyes were closed, she panicked for a moment. It was not much different from when she came in and saw him lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She sat down by the bed and reached out to shake him. Shao Jingmo? Shao Jingmo did not open his eyes. Dont shake. Im not dead. Qiao Qiao said angrily, Open your eyes if youre not dead. You keep scaring me. I thought you were dead. After being frightened twice in a row, she felt that her small heart could barely take the shock burden. Shao Jingmo slowly opened his eyes and started unbuttoning his shirt without looking at Qiao Qiao. Seeing this, Qiao Qiao stammered, Can-can you just lift your clothes? Shao Jingmo, who was unbuttoning his shirt, paused and looked at her sideways. Sure. Alright, dont move yet. Ill help you treat your wound. Qiao Qiaos movements were very agile. She skillfully opened the first-aid kit and took out the disinfectant, iodophor, cotton balls, and other first-aid supplies inside. At this moment, she did not restrain herself and said to Shao Jingmo, Then Im going to start, okay? Shao Jingmo stared at her with his deep eyes and replied, Okay. After receiving Shao Jingmos response, Qiao Qiao first disinfected her hands before carefully lifting Shao Jingmos lower hem. Just now, she had been secretly coveting Shao Jingmos figure. Now that she had the chance to come into close contact, she was no longer in the mood to admire it. She had to quickly treat his wound. She gritted her teeth and continued to lift the hem of his shirt. The bandage on his waist and abdomen was exposed. When Qiao Qiao saw the blood on the bandage, her expression changed slightly. Its only been a while. Why are you bleeding so much? If you continue to bleed like this, youll The word die was on the tip of her tongue. She thought about it and decided it was unlucky. She bit it back and whispered, Blood has soaked the entire area of the bandage. When she lifted Shao Jingmos clothes just now, she also saw that the bandage was stained with blood, but it was not so large. It had only been a few minutes, but the area covered in blood had become much larger. When Shao Jingmo saw how worried she was about him, he felt for a moment that she actually cared about him. Dont worry. I wont die. Qiao Qiao retorted, Youre in your thirties, after all. Dont you know that people can die from blood loss? Do you think youre made of steel? Shao Jingmo smiled. Thank you for reminding me of my age under such circumstances. Qiao Qiao snorted. Youre already in your thirties. Its not like Im deliberately calling you old. Shao Jingmo remained silent and looked at her quietly. Shao Jingmo, are you in pain? Qiao Qiao had already lifted half of his clothes. Shao Jingmo did not respond. Shao Jingmo? Qiao Qiao became nervous and shouted again, Why arent you saying anything? Does it hurt? Shao Jingmo did not miss the nervousness in her eyes. He replied gently, It doesnt hurt. How can it not hurt? It hurts just looking at it. Qiao Qiao frowned. Youd better not talk. Ill unwrap the bandage for you first. The process will definitely hurt more. You have to bear with it. Okay, he said. With that, she began to work on it. She found the knot of the bandage and slowly untied it. The process of unwrapping the bandage from his waist and abdomen bit by bit would undoubtedly affect his wound. When it was completely unwrapped, Qiao Qiao saw the knife wound on his waist and abdomen. It was about seven or eight centimeters long and blood was flowing out. It was obvious that the wound was very deep. Seeing that she was frowning, Shao Jingmo asked, Are you afraid? Qiao Qiao looked up. Although she was usually timid and didnt have much backbone, she could remain calm in the face of this bloody smell. Im not afraid. She shook her head. Shao Jingmo said, Youre quite bold. Qiao Qiao retorted, Its not the first time youve met me. As she spoke to Shao Jingmo, she opened the iodophor and applied the cotton ball around the wound bit by bit. Her technique was unprofessional, and she had only learned how to bandage and stop the bleeding in university. She had almost forgotten about it. Fortunately, she was careful enough. When she rebandaged the wound, in order to prevent it from getting infected again, she used a bandaging method. This kind of bandaging could effectively prevent bacteria from invading, but it was not as effective as stopping the bleeding. During the bandaging process, Qiao Qiao realized that his clothes were in the way, so she went straight to unbutton Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo looked at her quietly and did not stop her. Qiao Qiao had just unbuttoned a button when she looked up and met his dark eyes. She immediately explained, l unbutton your shirt to make it easier to bandage it. Dont misunderstand. Im not that kind of person.. Chapter 507 - Chapter 507: Keeping a Secret Chapter 507: Keeping a Secret Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Actually, it was fine not to explain. Her special explanation made it seem like she was up to no good. However, Shao Jingmo asked her, What kind of person? Qiao Qiao tightened her grip on his button. Im afraid you think Ill do something to you while youre weak. You worried too much. I dont have such worries. His tone was steady. Even if you take advantage of me now and want my life, I wont resist. Qiao Qiao chuckled. Of course you wont resist. With your injuries, do you have the strength to resist? Shao Jingmo asked, What do you think? Qiao Qiao snorted. Stop showing off. Only your mouth is good now. He smiled ruefully. Qiao Qiao released her grip on his button, then lowered her head and continued to unbutton another button. Actually, she wanted to ask Shao Jingmo why he trusted her so much. Wasnt he afraid that she would take this opportunity to hurt him? Although she couldnt do anything to take advantage of others, there was a saying that one had to be wary of others. For example, she was always wary of Shao Jingmo. On the other hand, Shao Jingmo was really not wary of her at all and even dared to let her treat his wound. The atmosphere quickly quietened down. She moved quickly and quickly unbuttoned Shao Jingmos shirt. His strong chest was exposed, and his well-defined abdominal muscles attracted Qiao Qiaos attention. However, no matter how attractive he was, she was not in the mood. She could only obediently pull open his shirt and continue the bandage. Although it took a little longer, the wound didnt seem to be bleeding so much. Qiao Qiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. During the bandaging, she glanced at Shao Jingmos reaction from time to time. He was really calm, as if he was not the one who was injured. Instead, she was so nervous that she was sweating. Done, she said, a little out of breath. Thank you, he said, and prepared to button his shirt one by one. Seeing that it was so difficult for him to even raise his hand, Qiao Qiao took the initiative to say, Let me help you button it. Shao Jingmo was rarely polite to her. Ive already troubled you just now. It wont tire me out even if its a little more troublesome. Qiao Qiao reached over and helped him button up naturally from top to bottom. As she fastened the buttons, she tried to ignore the sight above her head. However, that gaze was too hot. Qiao Qiao couldnt take it anymore. When she looked up, she met his gaze. She pretended to be fierce and said, Dont look at me like that. Shao Jingmo replied, Okay. Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Shao Jingmo said gently, Didnt you say that I cant look at you? I know. I wont look at you again. With that, he looked away. Qiao Qiao: Eh, so obedient. All along, Shao Jingmos image in her eyes had been extremely dictatorial. When did she not have to listen to him? As a result, she was always rebellious in front of Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo, she called his name. Shao Jingmo nodded, but he did not turn to look at her. Qiao Qiao smirked. l told you not to look at me, and you did so. Why are you so obedient? Shao Jingmo simply closed his eyes and pretended not to hear anything. Seeing him close his eyes, Qiao Qiao knew that she would be asking for trouble if she continued. This person had no intention of paying attention to her. But after all this trouble, she hadnt asked him how hed gotten hurt, although not asking didnt mean she wasnt curious. Hed been bleeding when the bandage was removed from such a deep wound. Had he been assassinated? Unable to suppress her curiosity, she cleared her throat and shouted again, Hey, Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo still ignored her. Qiao Qiao wasnt discouraged. She shouted, Shao Jingmo, pay attention to me. Shao Jingmo closed his eyes. What are you trying to say? Qiao Qiao lowered her voice and asked, Can you tell me how you got injured? Dont worry, I wont tell anyone. Shao Jingmo said, A little accident. Qiao Qiao asked, What accident? Shao Jingmo did not intend to tell her, so he stopped talking. Qiao Qiao was curious to begin with, so she was indignant that she couldnt get the answer. No matter what, Im your wife, right? Why are you treating me like an outsider? Tell me. The words Im your wife made Shao Jingmo open his eyes. Qiao Qiao had said that on purpose to see if Shao Jingmo would react. Seeing that he did, she was secretly delighted. Tell me, I want to know. Shao Jingmo looked at the girl in front of him. When she tried to get information out of him, every expression on her face was especially vivid. She had grown up in his memories, and she would always move his heart as much as in his memories. After looking at her for a moment, he said slowly, Do you really want to know? Qiao Qiao nodded vigorously. Yes, yes. Shao Jingmo hooked his finger at her. Come closer. Qiao Qiao stopped buttoning his shirt and leaned in front of Shao Jingmo obediently. Tell me. Ill listen. I promise to keep this secret for you. Shao Jingmo chuckled. Its not a secret. Qiao Qiao: Shao Jingmo said, l just didnt want to tell you. Qiao Qiao: Forget it if he doesnt want to tell her. She gave up asking and was about to get up when her hand was grabbed. She looked down and saw that it was Shao Jingmos hand. His last button was still undone. He probably thought she was leaving, so he suddenly grabbed her wrist. Qiao Qiao said, Im not leaving. Shao Jingmo did not let go of her hand. There were some problems with the business deal. I was accidentally injured. Qiao Qiao was surprised to hear Shao Jingmo explain the reason for her injury. He really told her everything. Curious, she pressed, How could the deal go wrong? Shao Jingmo said, Theres a mole. Did you catch the mole? she asked again. Shao Jingmo did not say much and only nodded. Qiao Qiao knew better than to probe further. After being silent for a few seconds, she realized that it was probably very late. She gestured for Shao Jingmo to let go. Shao Jingmo let go of her hand. When she was free, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and looked at the time. It was almost eleven oclock. It was indeed very late. She put away her cell phone and asked Shao Jingmo, Do you want to go to the MO Residence with me? Shao Jingmo said, No. Qiao Qiao sounded troubled. But I promised Matriarch MO that I would bring my little uncle with me. Shao Jingmo said, You didnt tell Matriarch MO about our true relationship? No. She spoke bluntly. l wouldnt say Im married outside. Shao Jingmo lowered his eyes and said indifferently, You can tell them the truth. Qiao Qiaos eyes widened. And say you were hurt? Shao Jingmo replied, Yes. Forget it then. Ill say that you have something else on and its not convenient for you to go over for the time being. She felt that this was more appropriate. If she really told Matriarch MO that her Little Uncle was injured and could not come over, Matriarch MO would definitely ask what had happened. It would be very troublesome to explain. She stood up and turned to leave. Shao Jingmo watched Qiao Qiao leave without hesitation and slowly closed his eyes. After about two minutes, Qiao Qiao returned. Shao Jingmo opened his eyes when he heard the voice. Seeing that she hadnt left, he thought that she had forgotten something. However, he heard her say, Ive sent Dao Xi back. Ill sleep on the sofa tonight. Just call me if you need anything. Shao Jingmos calm eyes rippled. You arent going back to the MO Residence? Im not going back. She went to the sofa and sat down. She crossed her legs and sat very casually. Ive already sent Xixi a message to tell her that Im not going back to the MO residence tonight, so she knows. Dao Xi will tell Matriarch MO when he goes back. Of course, she wouldnt admit that she was worried about Shao Jingmo staying in a hotel alone. What if his wound inflamed in the middle of the night and he fainted from a fever? There had to be someone beside him, right? When she looked up, she realized that Shao Jingmo was looking at her with a deep gaze. She explained perfunctorily, Sigh, dont look at me like that. Just treat it as if 1 dont want to be a widow.. Chapter 508 - Chapter 508: Worried About His Kidney Chapter 508: Worried About His Kidney Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The night passed peacefully. Although Qiao Qiao was worried that there was no one beside Shao Jingmo, she was actually not of much use here. Besides, she slept so soundly at night that she didnt even know when she went to bed. As Shao Jingmo was hugging her, it affected his wound as expected. He endured the discomfort from his waist injury and leaned over to tuck her in. Qiao Qiao turned around and hugged Shao Jingmos arm, rubbing her cheek against the back of his hand. Shao Jingmo tried to pull his arm back, but she seemed to treat his arm as some important treasure. She hugged it tightly and did not let go. She even said something at the corner of her mouth. It was too soft for him to hear. Shao Jingmo hesitated for a moment before lying down beside her. As soon as he lay down, Qiao Qiao followed the heat on his body and moved over. He glanced at her and took the opportunity to pull his arm out of her arms and extend it to the back of her head. She immediately found the most comfortable position in his arms. Shao Jingmo looked at the girl in his arms and said softly, You came here yourself. Qiao Qiao was already asleep. She had no idea how much she had taken the initiative to snuggle into Shao Jingmos arms after falling asleep. The next morning, a thin mist of frost had condensed on the window. Qiao Qiao woke up from Shao Jingmos arms. She rubbed her eyes and wanted to stretch, but she couldnt stretch her arms. Her palm touched a warm hard lump. She thought it was the sofa wall, so she arched against it again. She suddenly realized that something was How could the sofa be so warm? And there was a faint smell of iodophor Thinking of a certain possibility, Qiao Qiaos eyes suddenly widened. She raised her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her. She was so frightened that she suddenly sat up straight and became completely energetic. Shao Jingmo had been sitting at the head of the bed for half an hour. He did not get out of bed or disturb her sleep. He sat quietly until she woke up faintly. He watched her stretch and arch into his arms. Finally, he saw her react belatedly. After sitting up straight, she looked at him with a shocked expression. They looked at each other for a moment. The air was so still it was awkward. Did you sleep well last night? It was Shao Jingmo who spoke first and broke the awkwardness between the two of them. Qiao Qiaos face heated up. She glanced away and didnt dare to look at him. She whispered back, Yes, I slept very well. She was warm the entire night. She was even wondering why the air conditioner was not as comfortable as last nights sleep. It turned out that she was sleeping in Shao Jingmos arms. She was really good! She just couldnt remember when shed gotten into bed. She lowered her head and quietly checked her clothes. They were all fine and there was nothing wrong. Then, she moved her limbs slightly. There was no soreness. Fortunately, Shao Jingmo was a gentleman and did not do anything to her last night. Her thoughts were all expressed in her actions, making it difficult for Shao Jingmo to ignore them. Dont worry. With my current situation, I cant do anything to you. These words were meant to reassure Qiao Qiao, but after hearing them, Qiao Qiao automatically understood another meaning. Little Uncle, your injury is on your waist and abdomen. That position is close to your kidney. Did it hurt your kidney too? When Qiao Qiao asked this question, there was clear stupidity in her eyes. At first glance, she didnt sound like she was teasing. She just wanted to know if the wound on his waist and abdomen would hurt his internal organs. This was also why she was sometimes sneaky, but sometimes clearly stupid. It was because she kept asking inappropriate questions at the wrong time. For example, at this moment. Shao Jingmo looked at her. Are you worried about my injury or my kidney? Qiao Qiao answered truthfully, Both. Shao Jingmos gaze deepened. It didnt hurt my kidney, and it doesnt affect it much. Qiao Qiao said, Thats good. She smiled. She was happy for Shao Jingmo. At least his internal organs werent hurt. As she smiled, the smile on her lips gradually froze. She suddenly looked at Shao Jingmo and quickly waved her hand to explain, To be clear, I was just worried that you would hurt your internal organs. I didnt mean that. What did that mean? She had just realized. Did Shao Jingmo think that she was worried about her future sexual happiness? God, she really didnt think that way! Seeing that Shao Jingmo didnt say anything, Qiao Qiao thought that he didnt believe her. She quickly tidied her clothes and continued to explain to him, I really didnt covet you. I didnt think about the future. I was really just worried about your health. Since she had already explained it so clearly, Shao Jingmo shouldnt have misunderstood, right? She glanced at Shao Jingmos expression. Tsk, he didnt look too good. Why did he seem even angrier after she explained? It must have been those words that offended him. She would definitely think before she spoke next time. She couldnt think or say anything else. Qiao Qiao quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Shao Jingmo had also woken up and was standing in front of the French window to answer the call. Qiao Qiao slowed down and walked towards Shao Jingmo quietly. Shao Jingmo was still wearing the black shirt from yesterday. It was a little wrinkled after a night, but it did not matter. At this moment, he was holding his cell phone in one hand to listen to the phone, and his other hand was in his pocket. His tall figure stood there like a human wall. She had seen his figure last night, but she had not been in the mood to admire it carefully. Now, she secretly regretted not taking a second look. It was rare to see a man in his thirties who took such good care of his figure. She walked to Shao Jingmos side. When he noticed her appearance, he naturally glanced sideways at her, then looked away and continued to listen to the phone. Qiao Qiao didnt disturb him. Bored, she raised her hand and drew on the French window in front of her. She drew a flower, a cloud, and a smiley face. Finally, she wrote her name and smiled happily. She smiled foolishly and did not notice that Shao Jingmo was looking at her and making those lively expressions. He looked at her for a long time until the person on the other end of the line finished reporting the matter and ended the call. Only then did he turn around. When he moved, Qiao Qiao sensed something and turned around, restraining the expression on her face. Little Uncle, are you done with the call? she asked with a smile. Although she called him Shao Jingmo yesterday, that was yesterday. Ever since she woke up this morning, she had been calling him Little Uncle obediently. Her tone was not as arrogant as yesterday. Shao Jingmo put away his phone. Just wait by the side for as long as I answer the call. Whats the matter? Qiao Qiao clasped her hands in front of her and said bashfully, Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you want to continue staying in a hotel. Depends. Shao Jingmo asked her, Where do you want to live? Qiao Qiao said, The hotel might not be that safe. I have to go to the MO residence first, then to the Li Mansion. Xixi said that when you come, well stay at the Li Mansion together. Its safe there. She used to be very bold, but it was different now because her personal safety was threatened.. Chapter 509 - Chapter 509: He Was Forced to Marry Her Chapter 509: He Was Forced to Marry Her Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She could say that she had no idea about the Bai family before. It was also during this trip to the capital that she heard Mother Qiao mention this matter. Mother Qiaos words were not specific, but she knew a little about it. In short, she had figured out the real reason why her grandfather wanted her to marry Shao Jingmo. Her grandfather wanted Shao Jingmo to protect her and not be snatched away by the Bai family. She was not Shao Jingmos biological niece and was not related to him by blood at all. If she was in trouble, Shao Jingmo would completely stand by and let her be snatched away by the Bai family. There was no man in the Bai family who was suitable for her to marry. If she was snatched away, could she be the Bai familys masters concubine? She didnt want that! If she married an old man as a concubine, she might as well die. Mother Qiao said that her grandfather regretted the bet back then. After thinking about it, the only way she could think of was to let her marry Shao Jingmo and become his wife. This way, if she was in danger, Shao Jingmo would not ignore her on account that she was his wife. The prerequisite for all of this was that her grandfather had to be the one to decide on the marriage. Even if Shao Jingmo wanted to reject, he would agree to marry her on account of her grandfathers nurturing and grooming. At first, Qiao Qiao felt so aggrieved. She couldnt understand why her grandfather wanted her to marry Shao Jingmo. After knowing the truth from Mother Qiao, she realized that the person who was really aggrieved was probably Shao Jingmo. He was forced to marry her. He was doing this to repay his grandfather for raising and nurturing him. After marrying her, he still had to protect her against the Bai family. In the past, she wouldnt have cared about Shao Jingmos life and death. Why would she stay in the same room with him? Now that she needed his protection in her current situation, she could only please Shao Jingmo more. It was more important to save her life. However, she had just found out the truth and was not completely familiar with it. She still could not control her proud personality and could not help but go against Shao Jingmo. She had insulted him several times last night. She did not know if he would hold a grudge You can go if you want. You dont have to tell me, Shao Jingmo said indifferently. Qiao Qiao twisted her fingers together, feeling a little complicated. l told you because I want you to go with me. Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways. Qiao Qiao met his gaze. l was going to pick you up last night to go to the MO residence, but because of your injuries At the mention of his injury, Qiao Qiao asked, How are you feeling today? Does it still hurt? Do you want me to take a look at your wound and see if its inflamed? Do you want me to change your dressing? Shao Jingmo could see the concern in her eyes. It looked like she was sincere, but he knew very well that she was just trying to please him. It feels good. It doesnt hurt. You dont have to see the wound as it isnt inflamed. You bandaged it well last night to prevent bacterial infection. He answered in one breath and added, You dont have to do this deliberately in front of me. Keep your usual attitude. Like last night. Last night? Rebuking him with every word? Implying something about him? It was not impossible, but she was mainly afraid that things would get out of hand. If she did not control her mouth and offended him, it would be over. At that time, she would not care about her life or death in a fit of anger. She had to take precautions. She couldnt be willful in front of him in the future. She could just keep her criticism to herself. Then you She continued to ask, Then are you going to the MO residence with me? Shao Jingmo pursed his lips. Can I go tomorrow? He was asking for her opinion. Qiao Qiao nodded quickly. Sure. Lets go over tomorrow. With that, she turned around to get her cell phone and called Li Xiwu to tell her so that she wouldnt worry. However, when she thought about how Shao Jingmo didnt say if he was going to the Li Mansion today, she turned around and looked at him eagerly. Shao Jingmo knew what she wanted to ask and said directly, Stay in the hotel today. Well visit Matriarch MO tomorrow before staying at the Li Mansion. Qiao Qiao grinned, then nodded. Shao Jing reminded her, Return to Xingzhou in five days. Qiao Qiaos grinning lips drew back and she replied in a weary voice, Got it. The two of them spent the entire day in the hotel in peace. Shao Jingmo took a few work calls in the morning, and each call lasted a long time. He had been holding video conferences in the afternoon for two hours, rested for a few minutes before continuing. Qiao Qiao had nothing to do, so she yawned frequently in the room. Shao Jingmo saw her embarrassed expression. She didnt care much about her image in front of Shao Jingmo. Girls only cared about their image when they went shopping and when they were in a relationship. Therefore, in front of Shao Jingmo, she was completely her real She was probably too bored, and Shao Jingmo couldnt bear to see her so bored. He called her over to listen in one of the meetings. Qiao Qiao grumbled, How can I understand? Shao Jingmos expression was serious. You have to listen even if you dont understand. When you return to Xingzhou this time, you have to enter the company to train. She subconsciously retorted, Isnt the company already yours? Why do you still want me to train? Even if I train, whats the use? Can I squeeze you out to inherit the company? Shao Jingmo looked at her with a deep gaze. If you have the ability, of course. Qiao Qiao shrugged. Obviously, even my father doesnt have this ability, let alone me. Shao Jingmo smiled. Are you looking down on yourself? Its not that I look down on myself, she retorted, finding a more convincing reason. Its mainly because youre my competitor. Im doomed to have no chance of winning. Why go through this? Shao Jingmo said, The reason sounds reasonable. Qiao Qiao chuckled. Shao Jingmo glanced at her. Qiao Qiao immediately restrained her smile. Dont be so serious. Putting aside the fact that 1 cant compete with you, theres another reason. Shao Jingmo was not curious about the other reason, so he did not continue asking her. However, Qiao Qiao couldnt control her mouth and insisted on saying in front of Shao Jingmo, Im your nominal wife. Our assets are shared. With you managing the company, I wont be short of money to spend, right? In the end, she said the word right especially softly and without much confidence. However, Shao Jingmo heard it very clearly. He was surprised that she would admit that the two of them were husband and wife in name. He felt a little happy and smiled. That does make sense. With his approval, Qiao Qiao looked slightly smug. Look, you said so Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Shao Jingmo. However, I mind my wife enjoying the fruits of my labor. Its better to work hard together. When you return to Xingzhou, enter the company with me. Theres no room for discussion. Qiao Qiaos face fell. Be your secretary? Shao Jingmo said, Anything is fine. Qiao Qiao asked, Am I a proper secretary? Shao Jingmo looked at her quietly. Qiao Qiao smirked. If the secretary has to wear black silk, do I have to wear it Shao Jingmos voice deepened. Be quiet. She snapped back, Got it. Her tone was a little aggressive. It was the same tone she usually used to scold Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmos lips curled up as he reached out to open the video call. The video conference began. Qiao Qiao didnt dare to slip away, so she could only listen obediently. Shao Jingmos video of the conference was in English the entire time. He was very fluent in English with proper pronunciation. Qiao Qiao closed her eyes and felt that there was a foreigner sitting beside her. Perhaps it was because Shao Jingmos English was too hypnotic, Qiao Qiao fell asleep beside him as she listened.. Chapter 510 - Chapter 510: Then Sleep Together Chapter 510: Then Sleep Together Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She fell asleep and leaned to the side uncontrollably. Just as she was about to fall, Shao Jingmo reached out and held her chin. Although it stopped her from falling, it also woke Qiao Qiao up. In a daze, she saw Shao Jingmos hand under her chin. She quickly sat up straight and shook her head. Sorry, sorry. You were too hypnotizing. 1 accidentally fell asleep. Shao Jingmo retracted his hand and said indifferently, Pay attention. Qiao Qiao nodded. Oh, okay. After that, Shao Jingmo continued with the video conference. Qiao Qiao continued to doze off at the side. Several times, she woke up on her own. Finally, she couldnt hold back her eyelids and her heavy sleepiness. Her head tilted Shao Jingmo reached out to hold her again in time. In fact, he was not paying attention to this video conference. He was distracted by her at all times, afraid that she would fall because she was dozing off. Next, he held Qiao Qiaos head with one hand to support her from falling while calming down to continue the video conference. On the other hand, the people on the other end of the video conference were very puzzled. Why did their boss extend a hand to the side during the video conference?? Finally, it was night time. Qiao Qiao ordered dinner. She had nothing to explain about sitting in on the video conference in the afternoon and dozing off frequently because Shao Jingmo did not say much about her. She was secretly delighted. Throughout the day, Qiao Qiao didnt ask Shao Jingmo about when she went to bed last night. Until she prepared to sleep tonight, she grabbed a pillow and hugged it. She gritted her teeth and said to Shao Jingmo, Can I sleep with you tonight too? At this moment, Shao Jingmo had just come out of the bathroom. He glanced at her indifferently. Up to you. Qiao Qiao grinned and went forward with a pillow. Do you need me to change your dressing? Shao Jingmo said, Ive already changed it. I dont have to trouble you. Qiao Qiao frowned. You changed it yourself? When? In the bathroom. She watched as Shao Jingmo walked to the bed and lifted the blanket. She followed closely to the side of the bed and went straight to the bed. She placed the pillow down and lifted the blanket to lie down. Shao Jingmo looked at Qiao Qiao, who was already lying under the blanket. He was silent for a moment. Instead of lying down, he picked up the pillow and turned around. Seeing this, Qiao Qiao asked, You t re not sleeping on the bed? Shao Jingmo replied, Go to sleep. Ill sleep on the sofa. Huh? Qiao Qiao immediately sat up, lifted the blanket, and was about to get out of bed. That wont do. You cant sleep on the sofa because youre injured. Ill sleep on the sofa. Shao Jingmo said, Sleep well. Qiao Qiao had already put on her shoes. But youre injured. Its fine. He was already moving toward the sofa. Qiao Qiao frowned. Shao Jingmo had never touched her before, nor did he deliberately make intimate movements, so she was very relieved to sleep with him. For so long, it was always her who touched him and accidentally made intimate movements several times. She was certain that Shao Jingmo really did not have any feelings for her. She was also certain that she had climbed into bed last night. Although it was a good thing that Shao Jingmo did not have any feelings for her, she felt that he seemed to despise her too much. Thinking that she would have to rely on him to protect her life for a long time, she grabbed the pillow and quickly got out of bed. She ran to the sofa as fast as she could before Shao Jingmo and lay down in front of him. Alright, the sofa is mine. Go sleep on the bed. Shao Jingmo looked at her expressionlessly. Are you sure? Qiao Qiao nodded. Im sure. With that, she turned around and faced the sofa wall. Im going to sleep. Dont disturb me. She deliberately said that she was going to sleep, but she was actually straining her ears to hear movement. She did not hear the footsteps getting further and further away. Instead, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. She turned around to take a look at the situation and saw Shao Jingmo close by. He leaned over and picked her up. She was slightly frightened and was afraid of falling. She hugged Shao Jingmos neck tightly. What are you doing? Shao Jingmo said, Sleep on the bed. Qiao Qiao was reasonable. But youre injured. Its not good to sleep on the sofa. Shao Jingmo stopped in his tracks and looked down at her. Are you worried about me? He was her backer. Of course she was worried about him, so she nodded. Yeah. After she answered, she saw the smile on his lips deepen a little. Then she heard him say, Then lets sleep together.. Chapter 511 - Chapter 511: Untitled Chapter 511: Untitled Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The bed in the hotel was very big. Qiao Qiao slept on the side of the bed. The distance between her and Shao Jingmo was enough for both of them to lie down. Even with his eyes closed, Shao Jingmo knew how far Qiao Qiao was from him. He reminded her in a low voice, Be careful not to roll out of bed. Qiao Qiao grabbed the blanket on her body and replied firmly, No way. Shao Jingmo didnt say anything else. He turned around and slept with his back facing Qiao Qiao. In such a sober state, Qiao Qiao couldnt sleep as usual when she was sharing a bed with Shao Jingmo. She propped up her eyelids and counted sheep. After an unknown period of time, there was a thud. The thud was too deafening. Shao Jingmo opened his eyes and looked sideways. Qiao Qiao was already gone. He sat up with a frown. Qiao Guigui? No response. Just as Shao Jingmo lifted the blanket and was about to get up, Qiao Qiao reached out and grabbed the edge of the bed. Her weak voice came. Im here. With that, she dug her fingers into the edge of the bed and slowly got up. Meeting Shao Jingmos puzzled and scrutinizing gaze, she lowered her head in embarrassment and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, Accident, it was really an accident. I thought there was still some space beside me, but who knew that after a while l Shao Jingmo finished her sentence for her. Rolled out of the bed. Qiao Qiao lowered her head and didnt dare to look at him. Yes. Shao Jingmo got out of bed and walked around the end of the bed towards her. He bent his knees and squatted in front of her. His slender fingertips brushed away the bangs on her forehead and asked gently, Where did you fall? Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. On the ass. The main thing was that her butt landed on the ground first. The area of impact was on her butt. If she had known, she wouldnt have insisted on sleeping by the side. She knew very well that Shao Jingmo wouldnt do anything to her, but she still made herself suffer. She deserved it. Shao Jingmo asked her, Does it hurt a lot? Qiao Qiao wanted to say that it hurt, but when she saw that the person in front of her was Shao Jingmo, she swallowed her grievance and said, Its alright. Shao Jingmo extended his hand. Come. Qiao Qiao said, I can get up on my own. Not allowing her to refuse, Shao Jingmo forcefully carried her up and placed her back on the bed. Qiao Qiao thanked him, and Shao Jingmo lowered his eyes to look at her. Not only children can complain about pain and grievances, you can do it too. Theres no need to endure it. Ill take whatever you say and do. Qiao Qiao looked at him in surprise. Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Are you that surprised? She nodded, her expression obedient. Shao Jingmo leaned over and adjusted the blanket for her. He turned around and sat down on the other side of the bed. You just need to know that from now on, no matter what I say or do, theres no need to be too surprised. Were husband and wife. As he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao took the initiative to move closer to him this time. Her initiative made Shao Jingmos hand, which was about to lift the blanket, pause. Qiao Qiaos lips curved a little. She looked at his chin and asked in a low voice, Did you pull the wound on your waist when you hugged me just now? She sounded worried. But Shao Jingmo didnt care about her worry. No. His tone was cold and indifferent. Thats good. Qiao Qiao frowned. Fortunately, she was already used to Shao Jingmos lukewarm attitude. She took the opportunity to say, Then will you protect me in the future? Shao Jingmo lay down and faced the ceiling. It depends on the extent of the matter. Even though he didnt say it explicitly, his words were enough to make her secretly happy. She knew that he probably wasnt just saying it casually. Since he had said it, he would definitely do it. With his verbal promise, she burst with joy and couldnt help but move closer to him. The closer she got, the more she pushed her luck. Little Uncle, can you be more accommodating to me in the future? Shao Jingmo straightened his body and did not move. A faint fragrance came wift past his nose. Compared to last night, it was even harder to endure at this moment. His throat was a little tight, and his tone was low. Am I not accommodating enough? Accommodating? She didnt seem to notice. Did you?! Shao Jingmo did not reply. At this moment, Qiao Qiao was already unknowingly leaning against Shao Jingmos body. This was because she had taken the initiative to be so close to him when she was awake. The fragrance on her body was not the fragrance of clothes, but the fragrance emitted from her skin. Silently, it tugged at Shao Jingmos heart and soul. She was seductive and unaware of it. She even leaned against him, trying to warm him up. Shao Jingmos entire body tensed up. As she got closer and closer, he couldnt help but sigh that the endurance he had been proud of was completely defeated. Qiao Guigui,! he called out in a low voice. Qiao Qiao looked up. Huh? Shao Jingmo said, Enough. Qiao Qiao didnt understand. Enough of what? Shao Jingmo gritted his teeth. Dont get so close. Dont get so close to him? He was the one who had said at first not to sleep on the side and to lean closer. Now that she was closer, he felt uncomfortable. She said, You were the one who said dont let me feel aggrieved. I want to get warmth from you. I cant do that, too? Shao Jingmo: She was so unscrupulous because he wouldnt do anything to her. But there was actually another reason, which was that Qiao Qiao had never been in a relationship. She was usually full of dirty words, but she was actually extremely innocent and didnt know many things. Especially since she did not know that something would happen if she rubbed against Shao Jingmo like this. Furthermore, Shao Jingmo was already an adult man in his thirties. If she continued to be so seductive without knowing it, she would attract trouble sooner or later. The next afternoon, Qiao Qiao went to the MO residence with Shao Jingmo. At this moment, Li Xiwu and her grandmother were brewing tea around the stove in the courtyard. It had snowed last night, and the snow had yet to melt. Youyou could not stay idle for a moment. She put on warm and waterproof gloves and played with the snow. She was the loudest in the entire courtyard. Yaoyao was not interested in the snow and sat obediently beside his mother. He rested his chin on his hands and watched his mother brew tea seriously one moment, then looked back worriedly to see where his sister was. Smokeless carbon was roiling red, and the fire was at its best. Guan Suling took the bamboo tweezers and moved the roasted chestnuts, peanuts, and cinnamon to the edge of the iron net. The heat area there was small, so there was room. She laid a few persimmons and oranges on it. When the chestnuts and peanuts were a little cold, Li Xiwu took two chestnuts, peeled them, and handed them to Yaoyao. Then, she gave the other to Youyou, who was squatting not far away and playing with the snow alone. Yansheng, Li Xiwu shouted. When Youyou heard her mother call her, she quickly slapped away the snow in her hand and skipped over. Im here. Li Xiwu reached out. Come and eat chestnuts. Youyou jumped in front of Li Xiwu. Because she was wearing gloves, it was not convenient for her to hold them herself, so she opened her mouth. !Ah Li Xiwu fed the chestnut to Youyou. Chew carefully and swallow slowly. Dont choke. Youyou nodded. Yes, yes. Yansheng knows.. Chapter 512 - Chapter 512: Upright Lady and Gentleman Chapter 512: Upright Lady and Gentleman Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Previously, Youyou often liked to say, Youyou knows, Youyou likes it, and Youyou wants it too. Ever since she called her name, she would always say, Yansheng knows, Yansheng likes it, or Yansheng wants it too. Yaoyao had yet to get used to his new name, but if Li Xiwu or Pei Jingzhou called him Yangui, he would react. However, the reaction was not as obvious as calling him Yaoyao. Youyou ate the chestnuts and two peanuts. After eating, she continued to play with the snow. This time, Youyou pulled Yaoyao over. Yaoyao was not interested in playing with snow. That was the most boring thing. However, when Youyou wheedled, Yaoyao compromised. Okay. Oh yeah! Youyou danced happily. The snow on the glove accidentally rubbed against Yaoyao!s body. Yaoyao was not angry and patted it clean with his hand. Li Xiwu looked at this scene and felt especially warm. She turned to her grandmother and said, Although Yaoyao has a mild personality, hes completely different in front of Youyou. Guan Suling peeled a chestnut for Li Xiwu. Of course. Youyou is his biological sister. Other than you and Jingzhou, Youyou is the closest person to Yaoyao in this world. Li Xiwu ate the chestnuts her grandmother had peeled for her with a gentle smile in her eyes. Thats right. Guan Suling handed Li Xiwu two more peeled peanuts. Come, eat the peanuts. seeing crus, Li Xiwu said gently, Granarna, Ill peel It myself. YOU can eat lt. You dote on your children, so 1 naturally have to dote on my granddaughter. Everyone dotes on their own. Here, take this. Guan Suling stuffed the peanuts into Li Xiwus hand. Did you notice? Although the therapy has a certain effect, Youyou actually brought more healing to Yaoyao. That was undeniable. Li Xiwu said, Us adults can only understand him according to our thoughts. Yaoyao is also afraid of troubling us sometimes. His thoughts are too sensitive, and he often suppresses his thoughts at the bottom of his heart. However, he will tell Youyou without reservation. Thats a good thing. Guan Suling flipped through the oranges and persimmons on the iron net with her bamboo tweezers and said with a smile, Thats right. Fortunately, with Youyou around, the relationship between the siblings is good. Thats better than anything. Li Xiwu turned to look in the direction of Yaoyao and Youyou. Youyou stuffed the snow into Yaoyaos hand. Yaoyao was not wearing gloves, but he did not despise the snow Youyou had given him. Instead, Youyou suddenly realized that Yaoyao was not wearing gloves and was afraid of freezing his hand. She quickly slapped away all the snow in Yaoyaos hand. After patting it clean, she still held Yaoyaos hand and breathed, trying to warm it up. As she breathed, she said, Im sorry, Brother. Yaoyao shook his head. Im not cold. But this freezes your hands. Youyou let go of Yaoyaos hand and turned to the servant beside her. Auntie, can you help Yansheng get another pair of gloves? Yanshengs brother doesnt have gloves yet. Thank The servants heart almost melted when she called her auntie. She quickly replied, Okay, Ill get it now. The servant came and went quickly. She unwrapped a new pair of gloves and went forward to put them on Yaoyao. This pair of gloves was made of the same material as Youyous gloves. It was warm inside and waterproof outside. Youyou reached out to Yaoyao and showed her gloves. Brother, look. Yanshengs gloves are pink. Brothers gloves are blue. Yaoyao said, Yours look good. Youyou smiled until her teeth were visible and praised him back. Brothers gloves look good too. Guan Suling picked up the boiling teapot and refilled Li Xiwus teacup. The two of them were chatting happily when the butler walked over quickly. Matriarch, Miss Qiao is here. Guan Suling looked up at the sound. Is it Qiaoer? The butler nodded. Yes, Miss Qiao didnt come alone today. She even brought an elder. Elder Guan Suling saw through it but did not say anything. The elder she brought here must be her little uncle. Hurry up and welcome them in. The butler nodded and turned to welcome them. Guan Suling looked at Li Xivvu. This girl hid it very well. If Dao Xi hadnt come back and mentioned it to me the night before, I would have thought that he was her elder. Li Xiwu took a sip of tea. Qiao Qiao and Mr. Shao arent very close either. There are some unspoken conflicts between them. Grandma, dont mention her relationship with Mr. Shao in person later. Just pretend that you dont know. Guan Suling understood. Grandma understands. Qiao Qiao was much more dignified today. She walked obediently beside Shao Jingmo, like a lady nurtured by the daughter of an aristocratic family. She was very different from her usual image. Her long hair wasnt curled and fell loosely behind her back. She wore an oatmeal-colored cashmere coat with a white knitted skirt underneath. It was knee-length and matched with short white boots. She looked exceptionally ladylike from head to toe. Beside her, Shao Jingmo was wearing a black woolen coat. His tall figure was straight, and his cold face looked especially cold. On the other hand, the dark brown gift box in his hand made him look like a mortal. The two of them walked together, and the scene was actually like a golden couple. Guan Suling reached out and touched Li Xiwus arm. Look, Qiaoer is walking with the person beside her. They look quite like a husband and wife. Li Xiwu didnt think so at first, but when her grandmother said that, she took a closer look. From the looks of it, they really look like husband and wife. In Li Xiwus opinion, the couples appearance was not that Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo were somewhat similar in temperament, but that they were compatible in temperament. Qiao Qiao was an upright lady, and Shao Jingmo was an upright gentleman. From the looks of it, they were indeed compatible. Seeing that Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo were already approaching, Guan Suling gestured to Dao Xi. Prepare a seat. Dao Xi moved forward to shift the seat. Grandma, Im here again. Qiao Qiaos voice was sweet and soft. As soon as she came over, she greeted Guan Suling enthusiastically. Guan Suling smiled at her. Youre finally here. I thought you wouldnt come today if you didnt come yesterday. Qiao Qiao said, How could that be? I told Xixi in advance that I would definitely come over today. Look, I shamelessly came to freeload again. Youre still talking about freeloading. You only ate so little the last time you came. This time, you have to make up for last time. As Guan Suling spoke, she looked at the man beside Qiao Qiao and asked, This must be Qiaoers uncle, right? Shao Jingmo glanced sideways at Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiaos scalp went numb. She explained to Matriarch MO with a dry smile, Grandma, hes hes my my This was the first time Qiao Qiao had introduced her relationship with Shao Jingmo outside. It was inevitable that she couldnt say it, especially since Shao Jingmo was originally her Little Uncle. She had forgotten all the introductions she had thought of on the way here. Seeing that Qiao Qiao couldnt tell him about their relationship for a long time, Shao Jingmo turned to look at Guan Suling and explained his identity casually. Yes, Im her uncle. Guan Suling had long known about their relationship, so she only smiled in an unspoken mutual understanding.. Chapter 513 - Chapter 513: President Pei Is So Blessed Chapter 513: President Pei Is So Blessed Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Matriarch MO, this is my first visit today. I dont know what gift is suitable. As he spoke, Shao Jingmo handed over the gift box in his hand. Qiao Qiao carefully chose this. I hope you like it. Shao Jingmo did his best to be polite. His words were very humble, displaying the attitude of a junior very appropriately. Guan Suling was usually very serious and was someone who valued etiquette. At this moment, Shao Jingmo had done his best, and his attitude was indeed rare. She raised her hand and gestured. Dao Xi understood and went forward to take the gift box from Shao Jingmos hand. He took it and placed it beside Guan Suling. Guan Suling glanced at the gift box and then at Qiao Qiao. She smiled and said, Qiaoer, thats very thoughtful. As long as Grandma likes it. Qiao Qiao felt very guilty. Shao Jingmo had prepared all of this, but Shao Jingmo said that she had carefully chosen it for Matriarch Mo. She had neither paid nor contributed, so of course she felt guilty. Guan Suling smiled and gestured to the two of them. Sit down. I just made tea. The oranges are ready. Try the roasted oranges. Li Xiwu also said, Qiao Qiao, lead Mr. Shao to a seat. Oh, okay. Qiao Qiao gently tugged at Shao Jingmos sleeve, indicating for him to sit down. Shao Jingmo pulled out a stool for her first. After Qiao Qiao sat down, Shao Jingmo sat down beside her. The charcoal stove was fiery red, and the orange skin was already burnt. It smelled quite good with the burnt smell of the orange. Qiao Qiao drank the tea and ate persimmons and oranges. She also ate a lot of peanuts, chestnuts, and cinnamon. The atmosphere was very good. Guan Suling and Li Xiwu both had an unspoken mutual understanding and didnt mention Qiao Qiaos true relationship with Shao Jingmo. In the evening, Qiao Qiao stayed in Li Xiwus room to talk about private matters after dinner. Pei Jingzhou was watching over Yaoyao and Youyou. He had come over at five. Now, he was in the courtyard with Yaoyao and Youyou. The searchlight illuminated the entire courtyard like it was daytime. There was laughter in every corner. Shao Jingmo came out with a cup of hot tea. It was easy to feel restrained in a completely unfamiliar place, and this was no exception for Shao Jingmo. The residual warmth of the hot tea in his palm gradually faded, but he did not go in for a refill for a long time. The two small figures running around the courtyard attracted Shao Jingmos gaze. Unknowingly, he looked at them for a long time until the hot tea in his palm turned cold. Husband and wife are loving, and they have a son and a daughter. How could he not be envious? And he probably wouldnt have these in his life. Yaoyao was more lively tonight with Pei Jingzhou around. Youyou, who was beside him, was already hot from running. She was panting and her face was red. The bangs on her forehead were a mess. Pei Jingzhou squatted down and tidied the bangs on Youyous forehead. You cant run anymore. Youll catch a cold if your clothes get wet. Youyou hadnt had enough fun yet and was clearly reluctant. Can we play for two more minutes? Although Pei Jingzhou doted on his daughter without any bottom line, he would not dote on her too much. If she caught a cold after running, she would suffer even more. Hence, he said with a serious expression, No, go in with your brother. Go wash up and sleep early. Youyou pouted and hugged Pei Jingzhous elbow. Daddy is the best in the worl& Pei Jingzhou smiled. What about Mom? Youyou repeated, Mom and Dad are the best in this world~ Pei Jingzhou said, Since Mom and Dad are the best, shouldnt you listen to Dad? Youyou puffed up her cheeks. But Yansheng hasnt had enough fun yet. No. Pei Jingzhou remained unmoved. Youyou said, Daddy is the most handsome father in the world! Pei Jingzhou couldnt help but laugh. That wont do. He turned to look at the quiet Yaoyao. Yangui, reason with your sister. Such a huge responsibility was thrown to his son without any intention of discussing it in advance. Yaoyao originally thought that his father was right. What if his sister caught a cold? For his sisters health, he accepted the order and coaxed his sister into following him into the house. Fortunately, Youyou listened to Yaoyao. He only coaxed her with a few words. This made Pei Jingzhou, their old father, very gratified. After coaxing his sister, Yaoyao held Youyous hand and the siblings slowly entered the house. When they passed by Shao Jingmo, who was standing on the steps, Youyou, who was in a good mood, waved at him. Godfather, The way she called him godfather was extremely unexpected. Shao Jingmo was a little surprised. Pei Jingzhou walked over and said calmly, Miss Qiao is the godmother of my children. Mr. Shao, youre Miss Qiaos husband, so youre naturally the godfather of my children. When Shao Jingmo heard this, he understood. He lowered his head and replied to the little girl, Good night. After watching the two little guys enter, Shao Jingmo turned around and looked at Pei Jingzhou, who was walking towards him. He smiled faintly and said, President Pei, youre so lucky. Pei Jingzhou was not humble at all. Im indeed lucky. I admit that. Shao Jingmo: Chapter 514 - Chapter 514: Doting On You Chapter 514: Doting On You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On the steps, Pei Jingzhou chatted with Shao Jingmo. Qiao Qiao came out of the house and looked up to see two charming men standing together and chatting happily on the steps. Seeing this, Qiao Qiao turned around and said to Li Xiwu, who was behind her, Bae, dont blame me for being evil. As long as we dont know them, theyre a couple in my eyes at this moment. Hearing this, Li Xiwu walked out from behind Qiao Qiao and looked up at the two figures standing on the steps in front of her. After watching in silence for a few seconds, Li Xiwu turned to look at Qiao Qiao. Youre right. Qiao Qiao held back her laughter. If President Pei finds out that even you agree with the evil couple Im in, his expression will definitely be interesting. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows slightly. Then tell me, what will happen to you when Shao Jingmo finds out that youre into the evil fauxmance of him and my husband? Tsk, what can he do? Although Qiao Qiao was showing off, the smile on her face had gradually disappeared. She cant get into it! Something was going to happen if she got into it! Seeing that Qiao Qiao couldnt smile, Li Xiwu nudged Qiao Qiao with her elbow. Why dont we go over and talk to him? Qiao Qiao shook her head crazily. No, no, no. How could she complain that her life was not long enough? Li Xiwus words had a deeper meaning. Even if you say it in front of Shao Jingmo, he wont do anything. After all, youre just husband and wife in name now. That wont do either. I cant always jump on the edge of a knife. Theres a limit to Shao Jingmos tolerance for me. Qiao Qiao knew her limits. Seeing that Qiao Qiaos expression had changed, Li Xiwu stopped teasing her. She mentioned staying at the MO residence tonight again and said, Its more lively here at Grandmas place. The Li Mansion is too deserted. Youll be more comfortable here than being alone with Shao Jingmo. Qiao Qiao said in a low voice, Actually its not that restrained. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Huh? Qiao Qiao bit her lip and smiled in embarrassment. After chatting for so long inside, Qiao Qiao didnt mention to Li Xiwu that she had already shared a bed with Shao Jingmo in the hotel, although nothing had happened between the two of them. She had not planned to say anything else about this matter, but for some reason, she could not help but reveal a little to Li Xiwu. Actually, its fine to be alone with Shao Jingmo. I wont be as restrained as before. Li Xiwu looked surprised. You? Qiao Qiao quickly waved her hand to clarify. Were not there yet. Li Xiwu nodded meaningfully. Oh It really didnt come to that. Qiao Qiao regretted mentioning this in front of Li Xiwu. It was easy to explain. She had no choice. That was how it was with people she trusted. Li Xiwu looked at Qiao Qiaos nervous expression and couldnt help but laugh. l didnt think too much about it. Besides, so what if it comes to that? It should be your decision at that time. He wont force you. Qiao Qiao agreed with Li Xiwu. But there was a little bit she corrected. l wont. Her tone sounded quite firm. Li Xiwus voice was gentle. Its good that you wont. Thats your decision. Even if you change your mind one day, dont worry about me laughing at you. To me, your happiness is the most important. Qiao Qiao hugged Li Xiwu and kissed her fiercely. l was in a hurry to reincarnate in this life and forgot to bring anything. Ill definitely dote on you in my next life. The corners of Li Xiwus mouth twitched. Where did you learn this? Qiao Qiao said righteously, On the Internet. There are many such jokes. Li Xiwu was speechless, only caught between laughter and tears. Qiao Qiao walked towards Shao Jingmo. She slowed down and almost didnt make a sound. At that moment, Pei Jingzhou and Shao Jingmo talked about children. Shao Jingmo said, President Pei is very lucky, but others children are the best. Its too troublesome to have my own. Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. Your own child is the best. How can you be sure before you have one? Shao Jingmo looked at the night sky. Im not as lucky as President Pei. Youre not unlucky. Pei Jingzhou smiled and glanced sideways. Niiss Qiao likes children very much. Qiao Qiao, who was slowly approaching, almost staggered when she heard Pei Jingzhou say, Miss Qiao likes children very much. She barely stabilized herself and shifted her gaze to Pei Jingzhou, looking at him steadily. Shao Jingmo met Pei Jingzhous gaze. President Pei actually understands a certain logic. Just because you like something doesnt mean that you have it too. Pei Jingzhou could not deny this. Indeed. As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou looked back and saw Qiao Qiao standing there. Pei Jingzhou said, Miss Qiao, did you hear everything? Qiao Qiao smiled dryly. Hear what? Seeing that Qiao Qiao was pretending to be confused, Pei Jingzhou did not say anything. When it was almost seven oclock, Qiao Qiao left the MO residence with Shao Jingmo and headed for the Li Mansion. Qiao Qiao leaned against the car window and waved at Li Xiwu. Bye-bye~ Li Xiwu said, Be careful on the road. Qiao Qiao turned to Shao Jingmo and said, Did you hear that? Drive slowly on the road. Shao Jingmo replied, Okay. The car drove away and gradually disappeared from view. Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou. What did you talk to Shao Jingmo about just now? Pei Jingzhou reached out and naturally wrapped his arm around Li Xiwus back. He envied me for having both children and said that I was so lucky. I comforted him that Qiao Qiao liked children very much. His reaction was probably expressing that he wasnt as lucky as me. Li Xiwu: She didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Fourth Brother, why dont you take a loudspeaker and tell the world that you have both children? Ive had this thought, Pei Jingzhou said. Li Xiwu laughed at him. Childish. Pei Jingzhou refused to admit it. Is it childish? Li Xiwu nodded. Very childish. Childish it is. He didnt argue further. Its my fault for having both children. Li Xiwu sneered and couldnt be bothered to talk to him anymore. Recalling Shao Jingmos expression just now, she asked, Did you say something to provoke Shao Jingmo? Pei Jingzhou said, Not really. Li Xiwu chased after him and asked, Tell me quickly. Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at her. Why are you looking at me? she urged him. What else did you talk to Shao Jingmo about? Pei Jingzhou said truthfully, 1 told him that Qiao Qiao likes children. Li Xiwu suddenly remembered that day in the courtyard. Qiao Qiao had almost kissed Yaoyao till he was on the verge of tears. At that time, Pei Jingzhou had asked Qiao Qiao if she liked children very much. Qiao Qiao had said yes without hesitation and said that she liked children the most. She did not expect Pei Jingzhou to spread this news to Shao Jingmo! No wonder Qiao Qiao looked so strange at that time. Li Xiwu didnt know whether to laugh or cry. She quietly reminded Pei Jingzhou, Qiao Qiaos relationship with Shao Jingmo hasnt reached that stage yet. Dont mention this in the future. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Looks like I was worrying for nothing.. Chapter 515 - Chapter 515: Can You Hug Me? Chapter 515: Can You Hug Me? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu pretended to be surprised. Ah, youre worried? Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes and smiled. To prevent my son from being frightened by her enthusiasm again, its best to let her have a child herself. Its probably very difficult between her and Shao Jingmo. Qiao Qiao hasnt realized her own feelings yet. Li Xiwu believed that at least for the time being, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo wouldnt have any further relationship development. Lets not talk about this anymore. Pei Jingzhou held her hand and walked in. As they walked, he asked, When are you returning to Lake Lu? Li Xiwu said, Well see. Pei Jingzhou said, Can you go back the day after tomorrow? Li Xiwu said nothing. Pei Jingzhou said, Then shall we stay for another three days? Li Xiwu still said nothing. Five days? Ten days? After the New Year? Li Xiwu remained silent. She suppressed a smile. Just as she was about to go up the steps, she looked up at the night sky. Fourth Brother, do you think it will snow tonight? How do you know? The weather forecast said so. Pei Jingzhou reminded her, Be careful of the steps. The two of them slowly walked to the steps. Li Xiwu looked down at the steps and suddenly stopped walking. Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways and asked in confusion, Whats wrong? Li Xiwu turned around. Can you carry me? Knowing what she meant, Pei Jingzhou smiled and reached out to carry her. Li Xiwu wrapped her arms around Pei Jingzhous neck. Were already so close. Dont you think Im very bored? Pei Jingzhou carried her up the steps. Then youd better be bored often. Li Xiwu curved her eyes and leaned into his arms. She said slowly, Pei Jingzhou, youve indulged me for more than twenty years. Pei Jingzhou carried her and took every step steadily. That was the past twenty years, theres still many more years in the future. She was overjoyed because of every action and every heartfelt word. She raised her face and whispered, Put your ear a little closer. Pei Jingzhou leaned closer to her as he walked. Li Xiwu said, Lets return to Lake Lu tomorrow. Pei Jingzhous gaze landed on her smiling face. There was no one around. Pei Jingzhou was unrestrained. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. Before Pei Jingzhou could taste more, Dao Xi who came out bumped into this scene and almost fell. The commotion was loud and alarmed Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu did not even look at who it was. She quickly buried her face in Pei Jingzhous arms. Pei Jingzhou did not look too good either. He carried Li Xiwu in. Dao Xi retreated to the side and watched the young lady and young master go in. Only then did he dare to take a deep breath. He patted his chest. Tsk, young masters gaze .could eat someone. After the New Years holiday ended, Li Xiwu focused on her work. Qiao Qiao followed Shao Jingmo back to Xingzhou. Xue Jinzhu had already joined the new dramas production team. In addition, she had signed two supporting roles with very heavy scenes. One was a big IPS supporting actress, and the other was a star drama. These were all resources that the company had supported and Xue Jinzhus father was willing to spend money. After Xue Jinzhu entered the production team, Li Xiwu also followed her into the production team to guard Xue Jinzhu. She personally watched Xue Jinzhu memorize the script and film for a full month. In the end, she even had to spend the New Year in the production team. Miss Li! Miss Li! Yuanyuan ran over, panting. Li Xiwu was sitting beside the director watching the replay on the monitor. On the screen of the monitor, Xue Jinzhus scene with the male lead was playing. Director Wang shook his head. I think we still have to reshoot here later. I thought it was alright just now, but now that I look back, it seems a little lacking. Jinzhus gaze is not on point. The assistant director said, l think theres no problem with this part. Jinzhus eye scene was very good. Director Wang frowned. No, this eye evasion is not very good. The assistant director did not find it troublesome. He just felt that Xue Jinzhus gaze was very good, but Director Wang felt that it was a little lacking and did not act out the gaze he had imagined. Hence, the two of them spoke one after another and quickly fell into a stalemate. The assistant director turned to ask Li Xiwu, Miss Li, what do you think? Li Xiwu was not surprised to be suddenly asked. Ever since she entered the production team of The Blue Bird Record! with Xue Jinzhu, such scenes were common every day. At the end of each stalemate, the director and assistant director would ask her for her opinion. Then, with her opinion and suggestion, they would reach a settlement and agreement. Just now, when Director Wang and the assistant director had a difference of opinion, Li Xiwu listened from the side and knew the cause. She said, The effect of Jinzhu acting another two more times would probably be the same. It should be better to adjust the plot. This sentence immediately reminded Director Wang and the assistant director. Director Wang said, Thats why its so awkward. Tell the screenwriter to change this scene and delete the male leads lines The assistant director said, Theres also this line from the female lead. Add a few words here to correspond to her expression. Seeing that Director Wang and the assistant director had reached an agreement again, Li Xiwu sat down and munched on melon seeds. At this moment, Yuanyuan ran over, panting. Li Xiwu asked, Whats wrong with Jinzhu? Yuanyuan said, Its not Sister Jinzhu. Its President Pei. Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Hes here on set? Director Wang was discussing the modification of the plot with the assistant director. When he heard Yuanyuan say that Pei Jingzhou was here, he immediately stood up. Where is President Pei? Yuanyuan said, President Pei didnt come to the set. He treated the entire production team to a roasted whole lamb. It was just roasted and sent over. Everyone surrounded it. It was very lively there. Director Wang was bitterly thinking that he would be the last to go back for tonights New Years Eve dinner. He had no choice. The filming progress happened to be stuck at this time and there was no way to take a holiday. If he did not film it, it would cost him millions a day. Therefore, he could only spend New Years Eve on set. He could not even make it for the New Years Eve dinner. The roasted whole lamb had come at the right time, filling the melancholy of not being able to make it to the New Years Eve dinner tonight. The director was overjoyed. He turned to Li Xiwu and said, Miss Li, you first? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Director Wang, you guys go over first. Ill come over later. Director Wang nodded. Alright, Ill go over first. When Director Wang left, he did not forget to call the other staff around him over. The assistant director followed happily. Yuanyuan asked Li Xiwu, Miss Li, arent you going over? Li Xiwu said, Go over and eat the roasted lamb first. Ill come over later. Yuanyuans mouth was filled with saliva from her taste buds. It was really too fragrant. She couldnt wait anymore. Then, Miss Li, Ill go over first? Li Xiwu smiled faintly. Go. After Yuanyuan left, Li Xiwu was left alone. She put down the melon seeds and picked up the cell phone beside her. She opened it and saw that it was all New Years wishes. She had replied more than an hour ago, and now there were more than a dozen. She was so focused that she did not even notice when Pei Jingzhou approached. After replying, she put down her phone and was about to get up and go over, as she was afraid that Pei Jingzhou would wait for too long. She looked up and saw the person standing in front of her. Li Xiwu was surprised. Fourth Brother He actually came to the set, but Yuanyuan did not tell her just now. Pei Jingzhou sat down beside her and gave her a small gift box. Im here to give my wife a New Years gift.. Chapter 516 - Chapter 516: I Really Like It Chapter 516: I Really Like It Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu gladly took the New Years gift that Pei Jingzhou had prepared for her. She knew that even if she asked him, he wouldnt say what it was, so she guessed first. A ring again? Again? Pei Jingzhou asked with a smile. In your eyes, do 1 only know how to give rings and jewelry? Li Xiwu played with the small gift box in her hand. Not really, but you really like to give me rings. The most common thing in the jewelry cabinet at home is rings. All kinds of rare gems are almost collected. l dont see you wearing it either, he said faintly. How am 1 not wearing it! Li Xiwu stretched out her hand and flicked her sleeve. Then, she raised her hand to show Pei Jingzhou. E l!m wearing my favorite sunrise today. A pigeon-blood ruby ring. Pei Jingzhous gaze landed on Li Xivvus raised hand. Her hand was especially slender and beautiful. The dark red color of this pigeon-blood ruby ring was a stark contrast to the cold white of her skin. Li Xiwu asked him, Fourth Brother, do you remember this ring? Pei Jingzhou looked away at her. Do you think my memory is bad? Li Xiwu said, Its been months. What if you really dont remember? I remember. His tone was firm. Of course he remembered. He had bought this pigeon-blood ruby ring from the Paulie Auction House a few months ago. At that time, there was only one gem that had not been made into a ring. Moreover, this gem had a very romantic name. It was called Sunrise. After bidding for this gem, he directly sent it to make a ring for Li Xiwu. While Pei Jingzhou was reminiscing, Li Xivvu opened the New Years gift box that Pei Jingzhou had given her. This gift box was much bigger than the ones he had given before. It was not heavy and was lighter. She casually guessed that it was a ring, but she felt that it should not be. She actually hoped it was something she could eat when she opened it. Because Pei Jingzhou had given her too much jewelry, the astronomical amount of jewelry in her jewelry cabinet could buy several planes. It was not that her estimation was exaggerated, but the jewelry Pei Jingzhou gave her easily cost seven digits. She was stunned when she opened the gift box. For a moment a bold thought occurred to her. Was this a magic box? She could have whatever she wanted. She quickly closed the box. Seeing this, Pei Jingzhou probed, You dont like it? Are you disappointed? Li Xiwu looked up at him. No. In Pei Jingzhous opinion, she thought that she was actually very disappointed, but she denied it tactfully. Just as he was about to take the box from her hand, Li Xiwu stopped him. Why did you take away the New Years gift for me? Pei Jingzhou said, This doesnt count. The real New Years gift is at home. There was still time to go back and prepare. Li Xiwu slapped Pei Jingzhous hand away and said with a smile, l dont want anything else. I just want this. With that, she pulled Pei Jingzhou to sit down. There was no one here. Everyone went to the front to eat the roasted whole lamb. Li Xii,vu asked Pei Jingzhou to sit in Director Wangs seat. The environment of the production team naturally could not be compared to home and the company. Just the chair alone had two or three clothes on its back. It was impossible to tell if they were clean or dirty. There was also Xue Jinzhus clothes and a big hat on the back of the chair Li Xiwu was sitting on. In addition to the chairs, the table in front of her was also relatively messy with all kinds of things. It was not that Pei Jingzhou did not mind, but the environment was not that important at this moment. Li Xiwu opened the box again in front of Pei Jingzhou and took out the stick of candied hawthorn inside. The candied hawthorn was wrapped in a layer of glutinous rice paper. It was indeed impossible to tell that there was a stick of candied hawthorn inside such a packaging, so Li Xiwu was especially surprised when she opened it. What followed was a huge surprise. She said to Pei Jingzhou, After I opened the box, I immediately closed it. Did you think I was disappointed to see a stick of candied hawthorn inside? Pei Jingzhou did not deny it. Yes. Are you stupid? If Im really disappointed, I wont show it directly, okay? No matter what, this is a New Years gift you prepared for me with your heart. She really couldnt help but want to laugh at him. Pei Jingzhou was not sure if she was serious. He asked with uncertainty again, Do you really like it? Li Xiwu nodded. l like it. Pei Jingzhou said, You dont have to force yourself. What do you mean forced? I really like it and am very happy. The expression on Li Xiwus face was especially vivid. She even told Pei Jingzhou, It would be boring if it was jewelry again. When I opened the box just now, I thought that it would be good if there was food inside. In the end, when I opened it, I realized that it was really food. I thought you were giving me a magic box. The more she spoke, the happier she became. All her joy showed on her face. Pei Jingzhou no longer suspected that his judgment was wrong. Now, he could confirm that she really liked it. He said, l chose the hawthorn myself and tasted it in advance. Its a little sour. It should be just right after being wrapped in sugar. Try it. Candied hawthorn couldnt be all sweet to begin with. It had to be sour and sweet combined to be the best candied hawthorn. Li Xiwu had made candied haws herself and knew this very well. She took a small bite and her eyebrows slowly relaxed because her taste buds felt the sweetness. Pei Jingzhou knew from her expression that it was delicious. He held her hand and ate the remaining half of the candied hawthorn. Li Xiwu was already used to his behavior. He wouldnt hesitate to continue tasting what shed tried. If she couldnt finish it, he wouldnt hesitate to continue eating. If anything good was in his hands, as long as she was there, the first bite of the good stuff in his hands would always be hers. Li Xiwus eyes were a little hot. Although there was nothing too obvious, Pei Jingzhou could tell at a glance. He let go of her hand. Im not eating. Li Xiwu, who was originally a little depressed, couldnt help but snort when she saw him like this. This emotion caught her off guard. Its not because you ate my candied hawthorn. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Then why? Li Xiwu said, l feel a little guilty. Pei Jingzhou thought about it carefully and understood why she said that she felt a little guilty. Yaoyao and Youyou are with Mom and Dad. Its just the two of us for the New Year. We can spend it however we want. This is our own life. He knew that she was feeling guilty. She was on set for the New Year and did not have time to spend the New Year with him and the two children. She moved her chair closer to Pei Jingzhou and ate the candied hawthorn. Ill tell Yuanyuan to keep an eye on Jinzhu later. Well go home early. Pei Jingzhou said, Theres no need to forcefully change the time. Its fine if its a little later. Ill wait for you as long as you stay. Li Xiwu smiled. What if its late at night? Pei Jingzhou said, Thats nothing. Although Pei Jingzhou did not care about time, since Li Xiwu had said that she wanted to leave early, she would keep her word. After a while, Xue Jinzhu came over with a roasted lamb leg. She was not surprised to see Pei Jingzhou here. Although Yuanyuan did not see Pei Jingzhou, she saw him walking into the set. She guessed that he was looking for Sister Li. Sister Li, President Pei. Xue Jinzhu walked over and placed the roasted lamb leg and a clean piece of foil on the table. You dont know, but when the five roasted whole lambs moved in, everyone fought over them like there was a famine. I almost couldnt snatch them.. Chapter 517 - Chapter 517: Fourth Brother Couldn’t Help But Dig Up Old Scores Chapter 517: Fourth Brother Couldnt Help But Dig Up Old Scores Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xue Jinzhu was not exaggerating at all. She had spent a lot of effort snatching the roasted lamb leg that she had just brought to Li Xiwu. She took out a wet tissue from her pocket and handed it to Li Xiwu. Sister Li, quickly wipe your hands and try it. Its so fragrant. President Pei has spent a lot this time. The roasted whole lamb that was treated by President Pei is a Damascus goat! Li Xiwu was surprised to hear that the roasted whole lamb today was a Damascus goat. This goat was indeed very expensive, and it was a rare goat breed in the Middle East. Its meat was much more delicious than ordinary mutton. Pei Jingzhou crossed his long legs and said calmly, You dont have to use the words spent a lot on me. Whats this? Its not even a piece of wool. Xue Jinzhu gave him a thumbs up. President Pei is generous. Its not a big deal. Pei Jingzhou reminded her, Hurry back and eat more. Itll be gone if youre late. Yes, yes, yes. Itll be gone later. Xue Jinzhu hurriedly turned around and left. Li Xiwu reminded her, Be careful not to fall. Xue Jinzhu waved her hand as she ran. Got it, got it. Li Xiwu smiled and placed the candied hawthorn back in the box. She pulled out a wet tissue to wipe her hands, then used both hands to tear off a piece of mutton stained with chili from the roasted lamb leg. She subconsciously wanted to feed the mutton to Pei Jingzhou first. Pei Jingzhou always gave her the first bite of delicacies, and she habitually gave him the first bite. He did not refuse when he saw her tear up the mutton and feed it to him. But Li Xiwu suddenly reacted and pulled her hand back. Pei Jingzhou looked at her quietly. Li Xiwu suddenly remembered something she had almost forgotten. You dont like mutton. Seeing that she suddenly remembered, Pei Jingzhou asked her calmly, Are you sure I dont like mutton? He just wanted to make sure she really remembered, so he asked her seriously. Li Xiwu replied with certainty, You dont like it. Pei Jingzhou did not like to eat mutton tour years ago. At that time, he almost did not eat it. It was his personal taste, and there was no other reason. In the next four years, he would occasionally try some mutton and gradually try to accept it, but he would definitely not eat much. At most, he would take a bite. After Li Xiwu retracted her hand, she fed herself the lamb leg meat she had just torn off. As she ate, she said, 1 remember that the first time you went to my house, my mother made mutton soup. You looked strange since you entered the house. At that time, I thought you didnt like my house, That was the first time Pei Jingzhou had gone to her house. Of course, he was not her boyfriend. At that time, she and Pei Jingzhou were only 15 or 16 years old. Pei Jingzhou continued, After that day, you ignored me for a week. Li Xiwu stopped moving her cheeks and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. l knew that you would remember the week I ignored you very clearly, and for a long time. Of course, but the reason I remember is because that was the first time I went to your house. Pei Jingzhou smiled gently. At that time, I racked my brains, but I still didnt know the reason why you were ignoring me. That was the beginning of our first cold war. We didnt see each other for nearly half a year after that. Li Xiwu swallowed the mutton in her mouth. The spiciness immediately rose. She opened her mouth and hissed. Pei Jingzhou reached out and took the light purple thermos flask on the table. He had picked this thermos flask when he went shopping with Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu had been using it recently. Pei Jingzhou opened the lid and handed it to Li Xiwu. Come. Li Xiwu took the thermos and took a small sip. Anyone who can eat spicy food feels a little spicy. Pei Jingzhou reminded her, Youve already stopped spicy food for a while. If you dont eat it for too long, your tolerance will decrease. Thats true, Li Xiwu agreed. She took another sip of warm water. Seeing that Pei Jingzhou was about to put away the roasted lamb leg on the table, she quickly said, 1 want to eat more. Although it was a little spicy, the spicier it was, the better it smelled. Especially since she hadnt eaten spicy food for a long time. It was rare for her to touch it, so she couldnt control her mouth. Pei Jingzhou naturally wouldnt put it away forcefully. When he heard that she wanted to eat it, he opened it again and reminded her, Eat less. Got it. Li Xiwu tore off another piece of lamb leg meat. It was a pity that Pei Jingzhou did not eat mutton. Otherwise, she would definitely show off in front of Pei Jingzhou. As expected of the meat of a Damascus goat. It was delicious. She was eating happily when Pei Jingzhou asked her, Ive never asked you. We ignored each other for half a year. If I hadnt taken the initiative to look for you, would you really have ignored me? Pei Jingzhou had never asked about this before. Because there was no topic suitable to bring up. Pei Jingzhou asked because she had mentioned this topic just now. Li Xiwus bulging cheeks slowly stopped. She took a sip of water and swallowed the meat in her mouth. She gently put down the thermos without turning to look at Pei Jingzhou. Ive thought about it. She could actually lie to Pei Jingzhou. After all, it had happened a long time ago. Even if she lied, Pei Jingzhou would not know. But she told the truth anyway. Therefore, she did not dare to look at Pei Jingzhou. After saying that, she felt guilty. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Li Xiwu suddenly sat up straight and mustered her courage to turn to look at him. l was immature and childish back then. Pei Jingzhou said, Are you so childish that you want to never contact me again? Li Xiwu said, l Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Hm? She shouldnt have mentioned this again. Li Xiwu regretted it. If she had known, she would have stopped Pei Jingzhou from bringing this up. Li Xiwu took a deep breath and called him by his full name. Pei Jingzhou, dont push your luck. She was at a disadvantage just now, but now that her mind was clear, she immediately took out her aura to suppress it. Pei Jingzhou tilted his head and looked at her from the corner of his eye. His smile was a little too demonic. Huh? Im pushing my luck? Li Xiwu said, Its the New Year. Are you sure you want to dig up old scores with me? Pei Jingzhou said, l was wrong. Li Xiwu drew a tissue to wipe her hands. Thats more like it. She threw the tissue into the trash can and looked up at Pei Jingzhous aggrieved face. She sighed and wondered if she was being too domineering. She pressed down on him fiercely every time. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she got up and sat on Pei Jingzhous lap before he could react. She placed her hands on his shoulders. Fourth Brother, are you aggrieved? Pei Jingzhou naturally wrapped his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling back. Aggrieved? No. Li Xiwu told him the truth. Actually, I was really happy when you took the initiative to look for me. I know, he said.. Chapter 518 - Chapter 518: The World Of Two Chapter 518: The World Of Two Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu said, Also, I was angry because I felt that you despised my house, but at that time, I didnt know that it was actually because you didnt like the smell of mutton. It was at that moment of anger that I said that I wont contact you again. My anger subsided, but 1 couldnt let go of my dignity every day, so I could only look forward to you taking the initiative to look for me every day. Ive been looking forward to itfor half a year. She emphasized the words half a year. These past events were too long ago. Even if she had already recovered her memories, she would not remember them often. However, from the moment Pei Jingzhou mentioned them just now, many memories appeared in her mind. The images were so clear. Pei Jingzhou said, l was also waiting for you to take the initiative to look for me for half a year. Li Xiwu smiled. We were both so stubborn. Did someone persuade you to take the initiative to look for me later? No one persuaded me. Although we didnt contact each other for half a year, I tried to spy on you every week until I saw a boy beside you one day. You were talking and laughing Li Xiwu quickly covered Pei Jingzhous mouth and stopped him from continuing. 1 was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. 1 did that on purpose. I was already anxious at that time. You werent the only one trying to see me. I was the same. I wanted to see you every day, but I was stubborn and couldnt put down my pride. It was only when my deskmate told me that if one party cared about the other, if a member of the opposite sex appeared beside one party, the other party would definitely appear immediately. At that time, you didnt have any members of the opposite sex around you, so I had no choice but to try it myself. In the end, you really appeared. Pei Jingzhou: Li Xiwu did not dare to look Pei Jingzhou in the eye. Pei Jingzhou took her hand and kissed her palm. So I was never the only one who insisted. Li Xiwus palm itched and she retracted it. Of course. Its just that you dont know. Youre not allowed to dig up old scores in the future. Pei Jingzhou denied it. Im not digging up old scores. Isnt this an old score? She got up from Pei Jingzhou. 1 1 cant even take it anymore. When she got up, she did not forget to pull Pei Jingzhou along. Now that weve eaten the candied hawthorn and roasted lamb leg, we should go home. Otherwise, the two little fellows will be anxious. Pei Jingzhou picked up her thermos. Lets go. Li Xiwu picked up the remaining candied hawthorn and held Pei Jingzhous arm. As she walked, she asked him, What are Mom and Dad eating tonight? She had already changed the way she addressed Han Qianye and Pei Qingji. She no longer called them Uncle and Auntie. Instead, she called them Mom and Dad like Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou said, There are many dishes that you like. Li Xiwu asked, Steamed pork ribs? Yes. Fish with vinegar sauce? Yes. Well, I havent had cured meat in a long time. There are some. And We have everything. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. l thought of these casually. Think whatever you want. Ill do whatever you want. Pei Jingzhou opened the car door for her. Li Xiwu looked at him. Theres no need for you to enter the kitchen personally when we return to Tan Hua Manor. There was no chauffeur today. Pei Jingzhou drove. Li Xiwu sat in the front passenger seat. Pei Jingzhou leaned in and personally fastened her seatbelt. He did not forget to kiss her before closing the car door. Pei Jingzhou walked around the front of the car and got in. Li Xiwu was very familiar with the road back to Tan Hua Manor. At first, she did not pay much attention to the road, but it did not take long for her to realize that this road was not the way back to Tan Hua Manor, but to She did not ask Pei Jingzhou. It was not until the car drove to the small courtyard in the suburbs that Li Xiwu finally realized why he said that he would cook personally. Tonight was a private time.. Chapter 519 - Chapter 519: Pei Jingzhou: Young Brat, Fighting with Chapter 519: Pei Jingzhou: Young Brat, Fighting with Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu had 11 days of holidays after the new year. It would probably be a waste if she only spent these 11 days in the capital. Hence, she discussed it with Pei Jingzhou and decided to take Yaoyao and Youyou overseas for a trip during the holidays. Their destination was tentatively Alaska. The family of four would bring almost no luggage on this trip. All the necessities and equipment would be purchased after they arrived in Alaska. It was also to be able to have fun. The luggage they carried with them would only be a burden. Ever since Youyou was brought back from Country T by Gu Lanshi, she had never gone on a transnational trip. She, who had been living in the capital, looked forward to this transnational trip and kept muttering. When Yaoyao was by Madam Di Xins side, he would occasionally be taken to other countries by Madam Di Xin. He was actually not happy about going on a long trip and was even a little resistant. It was often easy for his stomach to feel uncomfortable because of the acclimatization. This was also what Li Xiwu was worried about. This time, after Yaoyao learned that he was going on a long trip, he expressed his protest with silencehe didnt want to go! Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou took turns doing mental homework for Yaoyao. Then, they realized that Yaoyaos resistance to going on a long trip actually came from after he went on a long trip. Most of the time, he was alone in an unfamiliar place, and Madam Di Xin, who brought him on a long trip, was busy with other things. Without anyone to accompany him, this led to him not liking to go on a long trip. When Li Xiwu found out that this was the reason, although her heart ached for Yaoyao, she did not blame Madam Di Xin. As the former Prime Ministers wife, Madam Di Xin could not keep Yaoyao by her side all the time because she wanted to protect Yaoyaos safety. However, Yaoyao needed company more. In the end, Yaoyao could only stay alone in the well-protected high wall. Li Xiwu squatted in front of Yaoyao and zipped up his jacket. She said gently, Mom and Dad promise you that we will be by your side all the time on this long trip. No matter where we go, we will bring you along, okay? Yaoyao still did not say anything. He had been silent for almost two hours. No matter what Li Xiwu said, Yaoyao always protested with silence. Li Xiwus heart ached, but she was helpless because she really didnt know what method to use to make Yaoyao believe that she wouldnt leave him in one place this time. Pei Jingzhou walked over with a frown. He gestured for Li Xiwu to get up first, then picked up Yaoyao and placed him on the high chair beside him. He turned to Li Xiwu and said, You can leave first. Ill talk to this kid alone. Li Xiwu knew very well that Pei Jingzhou only doted on Yaoyao more than she did. Naturally, he would not use his dignity to make Yaoyao compromise. Okay, she said. She glanced at Yaoyao before turning to leave. After Li Xiwu left, only Pei Jingzhou and Yaoyao were left in the room. The atmosphere was very quiet. Li Yangui, Pei Jingzhou said in a serious tone. Yaoyao was still looking in the direction of the door, because Li Xiwu had just gone out in that direction. Hearing his father call him, he turned to look at him. Pei Jingzhou looked at the little guys unhappy expression and said, Make a statement. Yaoyao lowered his eyes, trying to hide his emotions with his eyes. Pei Jingzhou was very patient. He placed his arm on the side of the chair. Your mother told you just now. Why didnt you believe her? Yaoyao continued to droop his head, ignoring Pei Jingzhous words. Pei Jingzhous expression darkened. Li Yangui, raise your head and answer me. Dont just lower your head. What kind of person are you? Yaoyao slowly raised his head. He looked up at his angry father, but they only looked at each other and did not say a word. Pei Jingzhou could not do anything to him. Before he could reason again, he suddenly heard his son call out to him in a muffled voice Dad. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. When the kid finally spoke, he asked, What do you want to say? Yaoyao fell silent again, as if he was hesitating about how to express himself. Pei Jingzhou did not rush him and waited patiently. In the end, Yaoyao mustered his courage and said, l dont want to go. Pei Jingzhou was not surprised and only asked, You really dont want to go? Yaoyao did not remain silent this time. He shook his head first, then said, 1 dont want to go. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Okay, I understand. Yaoyao was very happy. His usually silent expression was a little livelier than usual. It was obvious that he was really happy not to go overseas. Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand and took two steps back. He leaned against the cabinet behind him leisurely and looked down at his son, who was relieved because he had promised not to go abroad. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Young brat, fighting with me? Ive decided, Pei Jingzhou suddenly said. Yaoyao looked confused. What had Dad decided? Pei Jingzhou said, Ive decided not to bring your mother and Youyou to Alaska. Yaoyao: Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, avoiding his sons gaze. Your mother mentioned to me several times that she wanted to watch the most beautiful aurora, but she couldnt find time because of work. Its her annual leave now, and its also time to watch the aurora. At this point, Pei Jingzhou said regretfully, What a pity. This is such a good opportunity. She cant see the aurora shes been longing for. Yaoyao frowned. Does Mom want to see the aurora? Yes, she really wants to. Pei Jingzhou then said, But we wont have the chance to go this year. Ill tell her later. Why dont we wait until next year? With that, Pei Jingzhou left. When he passed by Yaoyao, he grabbed Pei Jingzhous sleeve anxiously. Not only was he anxious, but his tone also sounded anxious. Dad. Pei Jingzhou stopped in his tracks and looked sideways at Yaoyao. Yaoyao raised his head. Im not going, but youre taking Mom to see the aurora. Pei Jingzhou shook his head. No. Yaoyao immediately asked, Why not? Pei Jingzhou told him the truth. Because your mother wants to bring you and Youyou along. Since you cant go, she naturally has to change her plan. Yaoyao asked, Change the plan? Pei Jingzhou revealed a bored expression. Shed probably have to go back to the company to work overtime. The vacation will end early. At this point, Pei Jingzhou deliberately said, You have to know that no mother will abandon her child to see the beauty of the world alone. If she really abandons her child one day, it must be because her child has grown up and can see this beautiful world on his own. Pei Jingzhou raised his wrist, indicating for Yaoyao to let go. But Yaoyao did not let go.. He pleaded in a low voice, Dad, can you take Mom and Sister to see the beauty of this world? Chapter 520 - Chapter 520: Successful Deception Chapter 520: Successful Deception Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations l want to, Pei Jingzhou said. Yaoyao grinned, but before he could be happy for more than three seconds, he heard his father say, Even if I want to take your mother and Youyou to Alaska, do you think your mother will come with me? Yaoyao shook his head. No. Pei Jingzhou said, So you know it, too. But Yaoyao said obediently, I can go to Grandpa and Grandma, or Great-Grandmas place. Ill wait for you guys to come back obediently. Pei Jingzhou thought for a few seconds. Then Ill communicate with your mother. Yaoyao nodded. Oh. Pei Jingzhous gaze landed on his sleeve. Let go. Yaoyao quickly let go of his fathers sleeve, but just as Pei Jingzhou was about to leave, Yaoyao grabbed his fathers hand again worriedly. Dad, please. Pei Jingzhou only said, Ill try my best. Yaoyao understood the meaning of trying his best. It means he couldnt be 100% sure. Yaoyao slowly let go of Pei Jingzhous hand. He still felt uneasy. If his mother really did not go to see the beautiful aurora because of him this year, would he be happy? He wouldnt be happy. Dad said that no mother would leave her child to see this beautiful world alone. Mom didnt want to leave him behind and only take Youyou to see the beautiful aurora. He wouldnt go, so Mom wouldnt go either. But Mom would be unhappy not to see the beautiful aurora. If Mom was unhappy, he wouldnt be happy either. This was originally a sure thing, but it quickly became something that made Yaoyao conflicted. In the end, he wavered at the juncture of changing his mind. At night, Pei Jingzhou was dealing with some work in the study. If he dealt with these in advance, he could go to Alaska in peace. Yaoyao avoided Li Xiwu and Youyou. He sneaked to the door of the study and raised his hand to knock. Knock, knock. Pei Jingzhou said, Come in. Yaoyao raised his hands and pressed the doorknob hard. He pushed open the door and entered. Seeing his father sitting in his office chair with the computer open in front of him, the half-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose reflected the light on the computer screen. Yaoyao did not come in directly. He asked politely, Can 1 come in? Pei Jingzhou looked at the small figure standing at the door. Young brat, Ive been waiting for you for a long time. He didnt come until he was almost done with his work. He thought he wasnt coming. Pei Jingzhou moved the computer in front of him in another direction and said, You can come in. Only then did Yaoyao tiptoe in. He didnt forget to close the door after entering. He shuffled over in his small slippers and stood outside Pei Jingzhous desk. He stood obediently. Pei Jingzhou pretended not to know why his son had come in and asked, Why arent you back in your room to sleep? Yaoyao turned his head and pointed at the Hermler clock in the corner. Its only nine. Of course, Pei Jingzhou knew that it was only nine oclock, but his son actually said, it was only nine oclock. He deliberately retorted, Only? Children should sleep early. Otherwise, they wont grow tall in the future. Yaoyao shook his head. Its okay. Niom said that I can be as tall as Dad in the future. Its good enough that Im as tall as Dad. I dont need to grow taller anymore. Pei Jingzhou: Yaoyao walked around the desk to Pei Jingzhous side. He leaned on the armrest of Pei Jingzhous chair with both hands and looked up. Dad, have you communicated with Niom? Pei Jingzhou placed his elbows on the armrest and pressed his fingertips against his head. Ive communicated with her. Shell go. Yaoyao was not very happy. He just asked again, Will Mom really go? Yes, Pei Jingzhou replied. He looked at the kids unhappy expression and asked, Ive already communicated with your mother, she will go to Alaska. You dont have to go. Just wait for us to get home. Why do you still look unhappy? Yaoyao asked, Then is Mom happy that Im not going? Pei Jingzhou shook his head. Shes not happy. Yaoyao said, Then Im not happy either. Pei Jingzhou asked, What reason? Because Mom isnt happy, so Im not happy, Yaoyao said. Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, Then what should we do? Yaoyao said, Ive decided. This tone was the same as when Pei Jingzhou said, Ive decided. Pei Jingzhou knew what the little guy was going to say next. After all, it was all within his expectations. The young brat had only been born for a few years. How could he beat him, his father? As Pei Jingzhou had expected, Yaoyao said, l want to go to Alaska with you. Yaoyao expressed this very clearly. The enunciation was also clear. Pei Jingzhous reaction was calm. Youre going? Yaoyao nodded. Yes. Pei Jingzhou removed his hand and looked at his son sideways. It might be too late. Yaoyaos eyes widened in disbelief. Arent you still here? Yes, we havent left yet, Pei Jingzhou said unhurriedly. But the tickets 1 booked are only for me, your mother, and Youyou. Theyre tomorrow morning, and I dont intend to change them. A huge sense of disappointment wrapped around Yaoyao. He pursed his lips and said in a muffled voice, Why cant we change our airline tickets? Pei Jingzhou reached out and pinched his sons face. He said in a benevolent fatherly tone, Because Im afraid that you wont be used to going overseas. If anything happens to you, my wife will scold me first. Yaoyao quickly shook his head. No, I guarantee. Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand and said firmly, This is not something you can guarantee. You cant control the various discomforts in your body. Actually, its good for you to stay at home. But I want to go, Yaoyao said firmly. When Pei Jingzhou saw that his son was about to cry, he knew that it was not appropriate to go overboard. He just had to stop when necessary. He sighed, then asked, Have you really thought it through? Yaoyao nodded without hesitation. Ive thought about it. Pei Jingzhou said, Alright, since youre so persistent, Ill change our plane tickets and add you. Yaoyao grinned. The smile on his lips was bright, and his crisp voice said, Thank you, Dad. With that, Yaoyao turned around and ran out. Pei Jingzhou looked at the little guys back and smiled. Young brat. In the childrens room. Li Xiwu had just washed Youyous face and came out. She carried Youyou to the bed and changed into her pajamas. Yaoyao did not return. She tucked Youyou in and said, Go to sleep first. Mommy will call Yaoyao back to sleep. Youyou said obediently, Okay. Li Xiwu stood up and was about to go out to find Yaoyao to sleep when she turned around and saw that Yaoyao had returned by himself. Li Xiwu walked towards Yaoyao and squatted down in front of him. Did you go to look for Daddy? Yaoyao nodded. Yes.. Chapter 521 - Chapter 521: Yaoyao Love You Chapter 521: Yaoyao Love You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu smiled gently and did not ask Yaoyao what he was talking to his father about. She held Yaoyaos hand and said, Lets go wash up. Your sister has already washed up and is preparing to sleep. During the New Year, Auntie Lin had already returned to her hometown, so Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou were the ones washing up the two children. Li Xiwu led Yaoyao to the bathroom. Yaoyao and Youyou had separate washbasins and small handkerchiefs to wash their faces. This way, they would be clean and hygienic. Li Xiwu took the small toothbrush and squeezed the toothpaste. Just as she was about to brush Yaoyaos teeth, Yaoyao took the small toothbrush. Ill brush my teeth myself. Okay. Li Xiwu handed the small toothbrush to Yaoyao. Yaoyao and Youyou could do it themselves when it came to washing up. Li Xiwu wanted to brush Yaoyaos teeth, but Yaoyao wouldnt let her. Youyou also washed up by herself. As a mother, she had never experienced many things about taking care of children. Speaking of which, she was ashamed. Li Xiwu took a small blue handkerchief, wrung it out with wet water, and handed it to Yaoyao. Yaoyao asked, Can Mom wash Yaoyaos face? Li Xiwu was surprised and immediately said, Of course. Mom is very happy to wash Baby Yaoyaos face. Yaoyao obediently looked up and closed his eyes. This action melted Li Xiwus heart. She quickly picked up a handkerchief and wiped Yaoyaos face. She wiped carefully and gently. As she wiped, Yaoyao opened his eyes and said to Li Xiwu, Mom, 1 hope youre happy every day. Li Xiwu stopped wiping Yaoyaos face. She was a little surprised why Yaoyao would say this to her. She asked, Did Dad teach you to say that? No. Yaoyao shook his head and said honestly, Dad didnt teach Yaoyao to say that. Its Yaoyaos hope. Yaoyao wants Mom to be happy every day. At this moment. Li Xiwu didnt know how to describe her mood. Mom. Yaoyao called her again. After so many days of interaction, Yaoyao could already call his parents naturally. There was no need for Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu to guide him. Recently, Li Xivvu could hear Yaoyao call her Mom every day. At this moment, Li Xiwu was extremely happy. She didnt know what Yaoyao was going to say next, so she replied first, Whats wrong? Yaoyao took the initiative to hug Li Xivvu. Mom, I hope youre happy every day. I love you so much. Perhaps Yaoyao thought that Li Xiwu did not hear what he had just said. So he hugged Li Xiwu and said it again in her ear. Li Xiwu kissed Yaoyaos forehead. Okay, Mom will be very happy every day because Mom has Baby Yaoyao and Baby Youyou. Mom is very happy. She was really happy and satisfied. Alaska is far away in North America. If one drives through the snow-covered Alaska Mountains at night, they can get close to the most beautiful aurora. This was also what Li Xiwu had always yearned for. It wasnt that she hadnt seen an aurora before, she had, so she was looking forward to seeing a more beautiful aurora again and getting closer to it. This trip to Alaska had fulfilled her dream. Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou stayed in Fairbanks with the two little guys. Yaoyao and Youyou were in especially good condition. Especially Yaoyao, who worried Li Xiwu the most. He had been in especially good condition since they set off and arrived. Li Xiwu had secretly asked Pei Jingzhou several times how he had convinced Yaoyao to come to Alaska together and in such a good state, How could Pei Jingzhou dare to admit that he had tricked him? He could only say, l have no choice. Our son listens to me.. Chapter 522 - Chapter 522: Hubby Is the Most Reliable Chapter 522: Hubby Is the Most Reliable Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Li Xiwu was skeptical. Why do I think not? Then do you want me to prove it to you? Pei Jingzhou said. He actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to prove it to her then it should be true. She pretended to be envious. Our son is still the closest to you. Pei Jingzhou said, Hes also close to you. Thats different. Li Xiwus tone was a little sad. Look, Ive been communicating with Yaoyao for so long, but I havent succeeded in shaking his heart to come on a trip with us. After you talked to him, he came just like that. This means that Yaoyao listens to you more. On the night before they left, Li Xiwu knew that Yaoyao and Pei Jingzhou had chatted for a long time in the study. She understood that Pei Jingzhou was communicating with Yaoyao. After Yaoyao returned from the study, he suddenly said a lot of considerate things to her, but he did not say that he had already decided to come to Alaska with them. The next morning, Yaoyao packed his own small luggage and ran over to ask Li Xiwu, Mom, when are we leaving for a trip? Li Xiwu was very surprised that her son had changed his mind. Her original travel plan was very clear. It had to be a family of four to make this New Year trip complete. If Yaoyao was still unwilling to go with her in the end, she would cancel her plan to go to Alaska and wait for the next year. At this moment, Li Xiwu was holding Pei Jingzhous arm and walking on the snow path with him. Yaoyao, who was walking in front, was holding Youyous hand, constantly careful not to slip and fall. Li Xiwu smiled in relief and gave Pei Jingzhou a thumbs up. On second thought, I have to admit that my husband is still the most reliable at critical moments. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Is this a compliment? Li Xiwu said, Cant you tell? Pei Jingzhous lips curled up. After receiving his wifes affirmation and being praised by her, Pei Jingzhous expression was not only joy, but the smile on his lips was also unrestrained. It was obvious that he was happy. Sometimes, it was a pity that humans did not have tails. If they did, the big tail behind Pei Jingzhou would have left an afterimage. Li Xiwu saw him smile. Happy? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. Li Xiwu shrugged his arm. Look at how worthless youre smiling. The more she said this, the more Pei Jingzhou did not hide the wanton smile on his lips and insisted on smiling for her to see. The snow path in front of them was still very long. It was impossible to walk all the way. In front of them was the aurora observation cabin. It was said that there would be many tourists gathered there. Pei Jingzhou did not plan to brine Li Xiwu and the two children to a place with too many people. so he went to another place where they could observe the aurora. It was the first time the family of four had come to Fairbanks. Pei Jingzhou had hired a guide locally. There were many people who could be guides. They did not stop talking along the way. On their first day in Fairbanks, they needed to adapt to the climate here. Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou did not shop for long before they brought the two children back to the hotel. The next day, the family of four took a dog sleigh. It was a team of many dogs. The lead dog led the other dogs as they dragged the snowmobile through the snow path. The scenery on both sides receded so quickly in their eyes that they almost didnt have time to catch it. Li Xiwu was in charge of taking photos. Even at such a fast speed, the snowmobile left many precious photos. After that, the family of four went to the Santa Claus Home in the Arctic town. The next destination was the Polar Museum and the Ice Sculpture Museum. Every place left precious memories in the camera Li Xiwu carried. Especially the photos of Yaoyao and Youyou. She had taken a lot of them. Next was a photo of her and Pei Jingzhou. At first, Li Xiwu planned to get the guide to help whenever it was time to take a photo of the four of them. However, when she saw the effect of the photo taken by the guide, she finally decided to work harder. She brought a triangular stand along the way and adjusted the angle to take the photo. This way, every photo of the family of four was perfect. On the third day. Todays destination was chosen by Li XiwuTurnagain Arm. They stayed here for almost the entire day. When it was time to go back in the afternoon, Yaoyao and Youyou still left reluctantly. In the end, Pei Jingzhou delayed their return to six in the evening just to let the two little fellows come to Alaska without any regrets. The first three days in Fairbanks were almost every day fulfilling. However, the more fulfilling it was, the more tired it became. Yaoyao and Youyou were still energetic. They wanted to go everywhere and could run and jump. However, Pei Jingzhou had to take care of his wifes body and mind. He did not want Li Xiwu to be too tired, so he chose the ice sculpture barbecue in the wooden house on the lake on the fourth day. There was no need to go out for the barbecue. There was no need to stand or walk for long. It was a barbecue outside and they could rest inside. Therefore, for the entire day on the fourth day, Li Xiwu slept and rested in the house. Pei Jingzhou wanted to accompany Li Xiwu, but the two little fellows could not ignore her, so he could only watch over them and let them have fun. At night, he would bring Li Xiwu to the hot spring. The hot spring could relieve her fatigue. After Li Xiwu finished soaking in the hot spring, she felt the vitality in her body return. After she got up, Pei Jingzhou wrapped her in a robe. Be careful not to catch a cold. Li Xiwu gathered her bathrobe. The heat is just right. I wont. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you feeling better? Im much better. After soaking in the hot spring, Li Xiwu felt all the fatigue in her body disappear, and her complexion returned to how it was when she first came to Alaska. She even said to Pei Jingzhou, I felt that I didnt have enough rest during the day, but I was afraid that I wouldnt be able to sleep at night if I rested too much. Now that Im done soaking in the hot spring, I feel comfortable all over. All the fatigue in my body has disappeared. I feel that I can walk ten kilometers in one go tomorrow. Pei Jingzhou smiled at the side. Ten kilometers. The guides here cant walk ten kilometers a day. That still depends on the guide. With two children and taking a car from time to time, the guide will walk less like us. However, some people will walk in groups of three to five. There are no children and they like to walk the entire time. The guide has to walk ten kilometers a day. Li Xiwu looked serious. Pei Jingzhou never took Li Xiwu seriously. He agreed with whatever she said. That makes sense. Li Xiwu couldnt help but laugh. Arent you going to argue with me? Pei Jingzhou said, No time. Li Xiwu was stunned. No time? Yes. Pei Jingzhous expression was serious. He held Li Xiwus hand and walked to the huge French window in front of him. Li Xiwu still did not know what Pei Jingzhou meant by no time, but she would know soon! They could admire the aurora in front of the French window, but Li Xiwu was a little worried about the two little fellows. Yaoyao and Youyou Pei Jingzhou said gently, Theyre asleep in the other room. The second room was not next door, but in the entire suite. This was because Pei Jingzhou had booked a presidential suite with a hot spring observation aurora. It was especially safe and secured.. Chapter 523 - Chapter 523: The Dream of Coaxing and Deceit Chapter 523: The Dream of Coaxing and Deceit Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The floor-to-ceiling window in front of her had attracted her since Li Xiwu entered. Because it was a one-way glass, she could admire the aurora outside the window while soaking in the hot spring without worrying about being seen from outside. Pei Jingzhou stood behind her and asked her gently, Do you want to see a dreamier aurora? Li Xiwu looked up at the French window. The auroras she could see were beautiful enough, but Pei Jingzhou actually said that there were even more dreamy auroras. She asked expectantly, Do you have to see them at a specific time? Pei Jingzhou replied, Yes. In the past few days in Fairbanks, Li Xiwu had seen the aurora many times. She had also chased it on a glass-domed sightseeing train. She would never forget this experience in just a few days. At this moment, Li Xiwus eyes were filled with anticipation. She asked Pei Jingzhou, When will the dreamy Aurora you mentioned appear? Will it be long? No, Pei Jingzhou said in a low voice. Soon. Soon, Li Xiwu understood why she would see it soon. She looked up in the direction where the aurora appeared and did not blink, afraid that she would miss the most dreamy aurora. At that moment, she ignored Pei Jingzhous movements behind her. It was only when he pressed her against the glass from behind that she realized what the so-called dreamier aurora meant He did not allow Li Xiwu to resist. The temperature rose rapidly. Pei, Jing Zhou!! She snorted delicately. Pei Jingzhou pressed his lips to the side of her face and reminded her, Be quiet. Those two little guys are sleeping. Li Xiwu had no room to resist. She could only be forced to accept his coaxing at the beginning. Intermittent words spilled from the corners of her mouth. How how could you use, um Aurora to lie to me? Im not lying to you, he said. He imprisoned the side of her waist with one hand and gripped her chin with the other, forcing her to look up at the aurora outside the window. Look, is the aurora dreamy enough? Li Xiwu closed her lips tightly, afraid that she would not be able to control herself and make other sounds if she answered. Pei Jingzhous breathing became much heavier. He deliberately asked, Honey, take a closer look. Isnt it dreamy enough? With that, he laughed softly. That laughter tickled Li Xiwus heart like a feather. The feeling of neither rising nor falling was really going crazy Honey, you dont seem to think the aurora in front of you is dreamy enough. Pei Jingzhou bit Li Xiwus ear. Then I can only work harder. Li Xiwu: She closed her eyes slightly. Under her gaze, the beautiful aurora outside the window was swaying non-stop. It was so fast that Li Xiwu could barely see it. It was dreamy. It was indeed dreamy. Li Xiwu finally understood what Pei Jingzhou meant. Every frame in front of her was very dreamy. The aurora seemed to be constantly changing. The dark green halo was magnified under her vision, and the entire sky was filled with a dreamy halo. It put her in a wondrous space. The constantly changing halo made her dizzy and almost lost her balance. Finally she begged for mercy. Im not watching anymore. Im not watching. But Pei Jingzhou insisted that she continue to watch the aurora. He whispered in her ear, Next time we go to Norway to watch the aurora, okay? Or to Greenland. Its the biggest island in the world, covered in ice and snow. Its also a good place to watch the aurora. Well look at it just like this, okay, honey? Li Xiwu: Li Xiwu was destined not to have a good sleep that night. She knew that Pei Jingzhou had planned this moment for a long time, but in the end, she still played along with him. The two of them watched a dreamy aurora that they would never forget. She had thought that the consequence of accompanying him was that she would not be able to get up the next day. However, to her surprise, she woke up before Pei Jingzhou. She looked at the time. It was still early. It was not even seven oclock. She glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou, who was lying beside her, sleeping soundly. She shifted her weight, ready to get up. Pei Jingzhou, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms. His low and hoarse voice sounded. Where are you going? Li Xiwu was pulled into Pei Jingzhous arms and could not get up for a moment. Its time to get up. Pei Jingzhou did not let go. Sleep with me for a while more. Its still early. Li Xiwu slowly turned from his arms and faced him. Are you tired, Fourth Brother? Pei Jingzhou opened his eyes. There was a trace of confusion in his dark eyes. He tightened his grip on her waist. What did you say? Hmph, he clearly heard her clearly, but he still had to ask again. Li Xiwu deliberately said, Fourth Brother, do you want to drink some nourishing soup today? Ill order you one, oh no, two servings. Its to nourish your body. You must be exhausted after watching the aurora for so long last night. As she finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou suddenly turned around and pressed her down. Do I need nourishment? Li Xiwu boldly looked straight into his deep and dangerous eyes. Yes, you need some nourishment. She still said so seriously. Its said that men who are more than twenty-five years old start to go downhill. Im doing this for you, Fourth Brother. Heh. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. This sounded a little creepy to Li Xiwu, but since she dared to provoke him, she was not afraid. She kept provoking and lingering at the edge of danger. Her courage was commendable, and she admired herself. In the end, when Pei Jingzhou was about to get serious, Li Xiwu finally knew to beg for mercy. I was wrong, I was wrong. Fourth Brother, I was wrong. She said a few times that she was wrong and begged Pei Jingzhou for mercy. Pei Jingzhou was angry and amused. Did you do it on purpose? She blinked. Even her feigned innocence didnt look innocent on her face at this moment. How did you know? she asked. Pei Jingzhou had planned to let her go, but in the end, he made up his mind and taught her a lesson. In the end, Pei Jingzhou insisted on asking her again, A man past the age of twenty-five goes downhill? No, no. Li Xiwu shook her head. Thats another man, not my man. This sentence coaxed Pei Jingzhou into submission. Li Xiwu didnt get out of bed until almost nine. This time, Pei Jingzhou woke up before her. He was already dressed and felt refreshed. Pei Jingzhou went over to take a look at the two little fellows. They were already awake. Youyou was sitting on the bed with her hair in a mess. Yaoyao had already put on his clothes and was putting them on for her. Youyou rubbed her relaxed eyes as she cooperated with her brother to dress her. Pei Jingzhou looked as relieved as a father. Li Xiwu was washing her face. She didnt close the door. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she began to do the days new makeup. Although her facial features and skin were good, she was also a woman who cared about appearances. She still dressed up seriously when she was outside. While she was drawing her eyebrows, Pei Jingzhou arrived. He leaned against the door with his arms crossed and looked at her with gentle eyes. Li Xiwu asked as she drew her eyebrows, Are Yaoyao and Youyou awake? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Yaoyao has already put on his clothes. Hes putting on Youyous clothes now. Li Xiwu nodded and continued drawing her eyebrows. Pei Jingzhou asked her, Are you tired today? Li Xiwus hand trembled and she almost drew the lines of her eyebrows crooked. She glared at Pei Jingzhou angrily. Shut up. Pei Jingzhou couldnt help but laugh. You can still glare at me. Looks like youre not tired. Li Xiwu took off her eyebrow pencil and said seriously to Pei Jingzhou, Be a human, Mr. Pei. Alright, be a human. Pei Jingzhou walked in. Li Xiwu was shocked and retreated. You cant really Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. Really what? Then, seeing that he had taken out his cell phone, Li Xiwu heaved a sigh of relief. Pei Jingzhou showed her the phone. Ive booked a plane ticket to Hawaii. After winter in Alaska, well go to Hawaii in advance for summer.. Chapter 524 - Chapter 524: Yaoyao: As Stubborn as Dad? Chapter 524: Yaoyao: As Stubborn as Dad? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Hawaii has a tropical climate, with little change in temperature throughout the year. It was not summer to go to Hawaii this month, but the climate and temperature were definitely the most comfortable. Therefore, after staying in Alaska for five days, Pei Jingzhou brought Li Xiwu, his son, and his daughter to Hawaii. The family of four had first arrived at Oahu, the capital of Hawaii. After checking into the hotel, Pei Jingzhou let Li Xiwu rest first. He brought the two little guys around to get used to crossing the hottest zone from the coldest zone as soon as possible. Yaoyao stood on a step and looked at the distant beach. A gust of wind blew, and he instinctively shrank back and shivered. Pei Jingzhou was carrying his sleepy daughter in his arms. He looked at his son, who was shivering beside him, and asked, Are you cold? Yaoyao looked up at Pei Jingzhou and shook his head. Actually, it wasnt cold. It was just that he hadnt transitioned from a climate with a huge contrast between the two areas. He asked his father, How many days are we going to be here? You just arrived and youre asking how many days youll be staying Pei Jingzhou could tell that his son was not very happy. You dont like this place? Yaoyao said truthfully, In Country T, beaches, seas, coconut trees These are all very common. Pei Jingzhou: It was undeniable that it was true. Pei Jingzhou looked at his daughter in his arms. Youyou? Youyou snorted. Pei Jingzhou said, Dad will send you back to the hotel. Can you sleep with Mom? After hugging for a long time, Youyou was already warm from sleeping in Pei Jingzhous arms. The light bangs on her forehead turned into strands. She sniffed and said in a sleepy voice, Yes. Pei Jingzhou turned around and said as he walked, Send your sister back to the hotel to rest first. Ill come out later. Yaoyao turned to follow. Oh. After returning to the hotel, Yaoyao walked in front. Before he reached the door, he had already taken out his room card. He raised the room card outside the door and swiped it. With a beep, the door opened. Pei Jingzhou carried his daughter in. In the room, Li Xiwu was in a daze. When she heard the door open, she immediately opened her eyes no matter how tired she was. It was mainly because she was in a foreign country that she was much more vigilant than usual, even though she knew that Pei Jingzhou might have returned with the two little fellows. Did I wake you up? Pei Jingzhou had just carried his daughter to the bed when he saw that Li Xiwu was awake. Li Xiwu was relieved to see that it was Pei Jingzhou. Ive been sleeping lightly. I didnt sleep very well. Seeing Pei Jingzhous actions, she immediately understood and lifted the blanket beside her. Asleep? she whispered. Yes, She wanted me to carry her not long after we went out, then she fell asleep soon. Pei Jingzhou gently placed Youyou beside Li Xiwu. After touching the bed, Youyou smelled the fragrance on her mothers body. She closed her eyes and moved towards Li Xiwu. Pei Jingzhou helped Yaoyao take off her sandals so as not to dirty the bed. Youyou quickly moved into Li Xiwus arms and placed her hand on her body. Li Xiwu brushed away the messy bangs on Youyous forehead. They were a little wet from her sweat, so she couldnt return to the dry look she had when she went out. She could only wait until she woke up to tidy them up. She turned to look for Yaoyao and saw her standing at the end of the bed, looking at her eagerly. She asked, Yaoyao, are you sleepy? Im not sleepy. Yaoyao shook his head and said considerately, Take Sister to rest. Li Xiwu smiled gently. Okay. This kid has been sleeping on the plane. Hes very energetic now. Pei Jingzhous gaze landed on his daughter under the blanket. Youyou only slept for half an hour when she first boarded the plane. She was very energetic until she got off the plane. Li Xiwu asked Pei Jingzhou, What about you? Arent you tired at all? Pei Jingzhou smiled. Which aspect are you referring to? Li Xiwu rested her elbows on the head of the bed and propped up her chin as she looked at him. Even cows have to rest after plowing for three miles. There are only bad fields, not tired cows, Pei Jingzhou retorted. Li Xiwu choked and was speechless. Ha, this man was just pretending! Her elbows were sore from the strain, so she propped them up on the pillow instead. It was more comfortable that way. All men are stubborn. When Yaoyao, who was at the end of the bed, heard this, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his mouth. Then, he turned to Li Xiwu and said, Mom, Im not. When Li Xiwu saw her sons serious expression, she almost couldnt help but laugh out loud. She suppressed her smile and said to her son, Baby Yaoyao, youre not a man yet. Youre just a little boy now. Yaoyao seemed to understand, then asked, Then will I be as stubborn as Dad when I grow up? Pei Jingzhou: Li Xiwu: Pfft This time, Li Xiwu really couldnt help but laugh. Fortunately, Youyou was already asleep in her arms and wasnt woken up by her sudden laughter. She laughed until her chest trembled. For a moment, she did not know how to answer her sons question. After thinking about it, she realized that she still could not answer. She looked at Pei Jingzhou. You have a say in this question. Answer it quickly. Yaoyao looked at Pei Jingzhou innocently and curiously. Dad? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Obviously The small expression on Yaoyaos face became more expectant. Obviously what? Pei Jingzhou said calmly, Yes. This word stunned Yaoyao for a moment. He was so stunned that he forgot what his father had just said. He recalled and frovwned. So when I grow up, Ill be as stubborn as Dad? Pei Jingzhou teased, Yes. Li Xiwu laughed uncontrollably at the side, afraid that she wouldnt be able to rest well if she continued laughing. If youre not tired, go out first. Ill take my daughter to sleep for a while more. Ill send you a WeChat message when I wake up. Make the call, he said, standing. Li Xiwu was caught between laughter and tears. Okay, Ill call you. Pei Jingzhou, who had stood up, did not leave immediately. He leaned over and kissed Li Xiwus forehead. Ill be in the hotel. I wont walk far. Rest well. Li Xiwu nodded and lay down on her side. After Pei Jingzhou left, he closed the door and followed behind him with Yaoyao. Pei Jingzhou turned around and said, Are you still going downstairs? Yaoyao nodded. Yes. Pei Jingzhou asked him, Where do you want to go? Yaoyao said honestly, Im not familiar with this place. Didnt you see where you wanted to go downstairs just now? No, Im too short. At this moment, the father and son had already come out of the room. Pei Jingzhou closed the door of the suite and turned around to see his son looking up at him. After looking at each other for a moment, Pei Jingzhou squatted down and extended his arm. Come. Yaoyao understood the meaning of this gesture because it was the same gesture when his father carried his sister. He did not go to his fathers arms immediately. Instead, he squirmed. Actually, I can walk by myself. Pei Jingzhou was about to stand up. Then walk yourself. Yaoyao immediately panicked.. Dad! Chapter 525 - Chapter 525: Their Wedding Chapter 525: Their Wedding Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Yaoyao immediately panicked. Dad! Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and scooped with his arm. His strong arm easily supported Yaoyaos body. It looked effortless. Compared to Youyous weight, Yaoyao was much lighter. Although he and Li Xiwu had already put in a lot of effort to nourish Yaoyaos body, this was not something that could be done overnight. It required a process. Pei Jingzhou carried his son with one arm and said as he walked, Eat more tonight. Got it, Yaoyao said. After entering the elevator, Yaoyao placed his chin on Pei Jingzhous shoulder and wrapped his arms around his shoulder and neck. He whispered, Dad. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Yaoyao asked curiously, Is being stubborn good or bad? Pei Jingzhou smiled. The definition of good or bad wont be fixed. If you think its good, its good. If you think its bad, its bad. I dont understand, Yaoyao said honestly. Pei Jingzhou said, Thats right. Yaoyao was silent. The elevator reached the ground floor and the doors slowly opened. Pei Jingzhou carried Yaoyao out of the elevator. There were not many people in the area around the hotel. Pei Jingzhou brought Yaoyao to the nearby street market to stroll around. When they arrived at the street market, they would find that most tourists were gathered there. It was very lively. Yaoyao looked at the many people who passed by with different looks. Some were blond, some were dark- skinned, and some had explosive hair. At this moment, he thought that it would be strange if his sister saw them. He had already seen many such scenes in Country T, so it was not strange. After walking for a while, Yaoyao asked, Dad, where are we going? Pei Jingzhou said, A bridal shop. Yaoyao looked confused when he heard those words. He had heard of marriage, wedding candy, red packets, and the words bride and groom, but he had never come into contact with the words, bridal shop, because he had never had the chance to. This was very novel to him. Yaoyao immediately asked, What kind of place is a bridal shop? Pei Jingzhou said, A place with a lot of wedding dresses. Yaoyao asked again, Whats a wedding dress? Pei Jingzhou asked, Do you know what a bride is? Yaoyao nodded. Pei Jingzhou said, When the bride gets married, she will wear a white wedding dress. Is it the kind of white dress Auntie Subasha wears when she gets married? Yaoyao asked seriously. Pei Jingzhou did not know who Auntie Subasha was, but Yaoyao was right. He explained, Yes, the white dress the bride is wearing is the wedding dress. After explaining, he asked, Whos Auntie Subasha? Yaoyao said, Uncle Bolins wife. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. He knew about Bolin. He was Madam Di Xins eldest son and had interacted with Bolin a few times when he went to Country T in the past. He was also the one who sent Yaoyao back to the capital. He still owed him a thank you in person. Yaoyao asked again, Are you going to buy a wedding dress and marry someone? Pei Jingzhou came back to his senses and laughed in anger. Who do you think I can marry? Yaoyao said to Pei Jingzhou with a serious expression and attitude, Youre already married to Mom, so you cant marry anyone else. Pei Jingzhou said angrily, You can shut up. Yaoyao fell silent, but his expression looked aggrieved. Pei Jingzhou looked at his sons aggrieved expression and sneered. Im not buying a wedding dress, nor am 1 marrying anyone. Im going to the bridal shop to choose a veil. Yaoyao asked curiously, Whats a veil? Pei Jingzhou: Before he could answer, Yaoyao asked, Dad, whats a veil? Pei Jingzhou pursed his lips. Heh, ignorant and stupid son. Yaoyao naturally continued Pei Jingzhous words. Im sorry. Im like Mom. Ill tell Mom about this seriously when I get back. These words came out of Yaoyaos mouth very smoothly. Although he often didnt say anything and didnt like to express himself, he was actually very good at expressing himself. For example, at this moment, Pei Jingzhou, who had heard him clearly, was already gritting his teeth. Go back and tell her what? Yaoyao said honestly, Go back and tell Mom that you said she was ignorant and stupid. Pei Jingzhou gritted his teeth and warned in a low voice, Dont be too arrogant. Yaoyaos big eyes were bright and clear. Mom said that my personality takes after Dad. Pei Jingzhou: He might as well not be this father! The street market was too lively. Pei Jingzhou brought his son around and did not find a satisfactory bridal shop. He didnt like the quality of those veils. They were all too inferior. In the end, he simply searched the entire bridal shop on Oahu and took a fancy to a good bridal shop. Then, he made a call. After instructing the other party to send the best veil in the entire shop to XX Hotel and express the style he needed, he brought Yaoyao back to the hotel to wait. Half an hour later, in the hotel lobby. Yaoyao was bored from waiting, but he was not a child who would make a fuss out of boredom, so he quietly dozed off beside Pei Jingzhou. Several times when his head was about to slide down, Pei Jingzhou would reach out and support it. Finally, the manager of the bridal shop arrived. She hurried in, followed by two assistants, each pushing two suitcases that were estimated to be twenty- six inches long. Pei Jingzhou and his son were the only ones sitting on the sofa in the entire lobby. The manager came forward to ask. When she found out that the other party was Mr. Pei, who needed a veil, she quickly introduced herself and introduced her wedding dress brand. Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and looked at his watch. Then, he said to the manager, Take out that veil. Im in a hurry. The manager nodded quickly. Okay, okay. Then, she instructed the two assistants behind her to open the suitcase. This time, the manager brought a total of five veils. They were the most expensive and best veils in the shop. Each one was packed in a separate dust bag and displayed in front of Pei Jingzhou. The manager tried her best to introduce them. Her mouth was dry. Pei Jingzhou finally chose a long veil. He was very satisfied with the texture and design. At the side, Yaoyao, who had been awake since the manager and the others came in, had been watching silently. Seeing that his father had chosen a veil, he asked, Whose veil is this for? Yaoyao knew that only married brides wore veils. So hed never understood why his father had insisted on buying a veil. Pei Jingzhou did not answer his sons question immediately. He paid a six-figure price. After the manager and the others left, he said, Because I owe your mother a wedding. Yaoyaos eyes suddenly widened. A wedding? A wedding with Mom? Pei Jingzhou said, Mhm. The expression on Yaoyaos face became vivid. Does a wedding have to invite a lot of people? Yes, Pei Jingzhou replied, then sighed. But this wont happen. Yaoyao expressed her confusion. Didnt you say that you owe Mom a wedding? Pei Jingzhou sneered. Young brat, do you think I havent thought of holding a grand wedding with your mother? I dream of it! But your mother said that there wont be a wedding. Yaoyao looked curious. Pei Jingzhou muttered, Its destined to be a pity that very important people are absent, so she said that she wont make up for it. Yaoyao fell silent. He seemed to understand why his father had said that someone important was absent from the wedding. The people who were absent were his grandparents, whom he and his sister had never seen. But Dad had chosen a veil that only brides could wear. Was that As he thought about it, he heard his father say Im going to have a wedding here with your mother that belongs to both of us.. Chapter 526 - Chapter 526: Yaoyao: They’re All Ways of the World Chapter 526: Yaoyao: Theyre All Ways of the World Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the hotel suite. After Pei Jingzhou left with Yaoyao, Li Xiwu only slept for half an hour before she stopped feeling sleepy. She woke up very quietly, afraid of waking Youyou up. As soon as she got out of bed, Youyou sat up and asked her with sleepy eyes, Where are you going, Mommy? Li Xiwu thought that the sound of her waking up had woken Youyou up and she returned to the bed. Mom isnt going anywhere. Do you want to sleep a little longer? Youyou nodded. Yes. So Li Xiwu coaxed her daughter to sleep for a while more. But when she got up, Youyou woke up again. Li Xiwu was caught between laughter and tears. She simply picked Youyou up and brought her to wash up. Then, the mother and daughter went out together. Li Xiwu planned to call Pei Jingzhou when she reached downstairs. If Pei Jingzhou was near the hotel, Pei Jingzhou might come and pick her up if she called now. Although he said that he was not tired, he had been arranging everything for the past few days. It would be strange if he was not tired. Li Xiwus heart still ached for him. She held Youyous hand and took the elevator downstairs. When she came out, she saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa in the lobby not far away. Who else could it be but Pei Jingzhou? As it was from the side, from Li Xiwus angle, she could only see Pei Jingzhou and not Yaoyao. She was about to lead Youyou over when she was suddenly attracted by the three people standing outside the sofa. Li Xiwu stopped in her tracks and was in no hurry to go over. She wanted to see what was wrong first. Youyou turned her head and saw that her mother was not leaving. She was about to ask when Li Xiwu suddenly squatted down and gently covered Youyous mouth with her hand. Shh. Youyous big round eyes blinked. Seeing such a cute daughter, Li Xiwu almost couldnt help but kiss her. She lowered her voice. Your father and brother are over there. Lets go over quietly and surprise them. Youyous eyes lit up even more and she nodded vigorously. Okay. After saying this to Youyou, Li Xiwu held Youyous hand and walked quietly towards the sofa. The closer she got, the clearer the conversation between Pei Jingzhou and the manager entered her ears. As she listened, Li Xiwu suddenly stopped. A veil? Was it the kind of veil she understood? At trus moment, tne manager took out tne veil from tne clust bag and carefully displayed it in front of Pei Jingzhou. Seeing the thin white veil, Li Xiwu was stunned. It was really the kind of veil she understood. Li Xiwu immediately changed her mind and brought Youyou to the sofa behind Pei Jingzhou. She gestured for Youyou not to make a sound and continued to eavesdrop on what Pei Jingzhou was going to do with the veil. Youyou listened to her mother and sat obediently beside her without saying a word. About ten minutes later, she heard Pei Jingzhou choose a satisfactory veil, then heard Yaoyao ask him, Who exactly wore this veil? Pei Jingzhou said, l owe your mother a wedding. Yaoyao asked again, A wedding with Mom? Pei Jingzhou said, Yes. Yaoyao asked, Does marriage involve inviting a lot of people? Pei Jingzhou said yes and said, But this day wont come. Li Xiwu heard the end. Including Pei Jingzhous words: Im going to have a wedding here with your mother that belongs to both of us. When she was still the carefree daughter of the Li family, when she was still dating Pei Jingzhou, she had fantasized many times about how grand her wedding with Pei Jingzhou would be in the future. At that time, she often whispered in Pei Jingzhous ear about the style of the wedding, the scene of the wedding, and what to do at the wedding. Pei Jingzhou said, Then well go to this plan, youll wear a Xiu He when I escort you for the wedding, and a wedding dress during the wedding. She had really fantasized a lot. Pei Jingzhou had also promised her a lot. At that time, she knew that Pei Jingzhou would fulfill all his promises. Then something happened to Mom and Dad, and there was no wedding. When she got back together with Pei Jingzhou, she was also in a state of amnesia. In order to protect her from the painful memories of the past, Pei Jingzhou kept a low profile and registered his marriage with her. There was no wedding. If he had been selfish for once, even without Mr. and Mrs. Peis attendance, he would still have insisted on holding their wedding. He probably wouldnt be so regretful now Li Xiwu removed her thoughts from her memories and carried her daughter out of the hotel lobby. She took the elevator back to the suite upstairs. She closed the door. Youyou asked curiously, Mom, didnt you say you wanted to surprise Dad? Lets put the surprise aside for now. Ill give it to him tomorrow. Li Xiwu sat cross-legged on the sofa and turned on the television. Then, she reached out and patted the seat beside her. Come and sit here. Youyou jogged over, climbed onto the sofa, and sat beside Li Xiwu. What surprise? Li Xiwu made a shushing gesture. Mom hid the surprise. When Daddy comes back later, dont say it in front of Daddy, okay? Youyou nodded. Then she asked, Can I tell my brother? Li Xiwu wanted to shake her head, but after thinking for a few seconds, she nodded. Sure, but you have to tell Brother secretly. Youyou nodded. Yansheng understand. Li Xiwu picked up her phone and called Pei Jingzhou. When Pei Jingzhou picked it up, she asked in a soft voice, Fourth Brother, where are you? Pei Jingzhou replied gently, Im downstairs in the hotel. Are you awake? Yes, I just woke up. She yawned. Youyou is awake too. Why dont I bring Youyou down now? Pei Jingzhou got up and said something to Yaoyao. Then, he said to her, Wait for me. Ill come up and pick you up. Li Xiwu hummed. No need. Since youre downstairs, Ill just bring Youyou down. Wait for me, he said. Im already in the elevator. Yaoyao, who was following Pei Jingzhou, said loudly, Dad, we havent reached the elevator yet. Pei Jingzhou glanced at his son. Yaoyao closed his mouth. Before entering the elevator, Pei Jingzhou ended the call with Li Xiwu. He and Yaoyao entered the elevator one after another. There was no one else at this time. There were only father and son in the elevator. Pei Jingzhou had one hand in his pocket as he looked down at his son. Youre really my good son. Yaoyao grinned slightly. Thank you, Dad. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Cant you tell the implied meaning? Yaoyao looked obedient. I know. Why are you thanking me if you know? Pei Jingzhou sneered. Yaoyao said calmly, Its all about the ways of the world. Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, Who taught you the ways of the world? Yaoyao answered seriously, I figured it out myself. Heh, figure it out yourself. Pei Jingzhou snorted. Every day, he was stunned by the various words his son said. As the elevator rose level by level, they quickly arrived at the floor. When the elevator door opened, the father and son stepped out of the elevator almost at the same time. Yaoyaos legs were short, and he had to take three steps to be comparable to Pei Jingzhou, so he walked faster.. Chapter 527 - Chapter 527: President Pei Took Out His Card and Swiped Chapter 527: President Pei Took Out His Card and Swiped Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou took a few steps and suddenly stopped. It was not that Yaoyao could not catch up to him, but that Yaoyao was already ahead of him. Pei Jingzhou pulled his hand out of his pocket and shouted, Li Yangui. Yaoyao braked and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Dad? Pei Jingzhou said calmly, Come here. Yaoyao stood rooted to the ground. Am 1 walking fast? Then Ill wait for you. With that, he stood obediently and waited for Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou smiled and squatted down. He extended his arm to the little guy. Come here. Ill carry you. Yaoyaos eyes suddenly widened. Every time he heard his father say that he would hug him, he would be very happy. He liked to stay in his fathers arms the most. This way, he could enjoy the same height of vision as his father. He quickly turned around and threw himself into Pei Jingzhous arms. After being picked up, Yaoyao asked, Were almost there. Why are you still carrying me, Dad? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Then Ill let you down? No, no, no. Yaoyao shook his head like a rattle. 1 want to be carried. Pei Jingzhou carried his son with one arm and said as he walked, Be tight-lipped. Dont tell your mother that I bought a veil, and dont let her know that I stored the veil. In short Before Pei Jingzhou could finish, Yaoyao continued, In short, I cant let Mom know about the veil. Then, help Dad put it on Mom and complete the wedding that belongs to the two of you in Hawaii. Pei Jingzhou laughed. As expected of my son. You know how to draw inferences. Yaoyao asked, What if Mom finds out in advance? Then Ill hold you solely responsible, Pei Jingzhou said. Yaoyao pursed his lips. l wont give it away. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Thats the best. Inside the house. Li Xiwu was watching television with her daughter. On the small table in front of them were Hawaiian fruits, such as pineapples, watermelons, papayas, and so on. The hotel would place these cut fruits in the fridge in advance before checking in. In this way, they could eat it anytime and anywhere. The cold would relieve the heat even more. Li Xiwu was eating the pineapple Youyou had fed her when she heard the door open. She looked up and saw Pei Jingzhou returning with Yaoyao. Daddy and Brother are back! Youyou sounded very excited. Li Xiwu sat cross-legged on the sofa. Seeing that the father and son had returned, she waved at her son. Yaoyao, come here. Yaoyao was very anxious when he saw his mother waving at him. He kicked his short legs. Pei Jingzhou understood and put Yaoyao down. Yaoyao ran to Li Xiwus side as quickly as possible. He first stuck to Li Xiwus arms, then sat obediently beside her. Li Xiwu took a slice of watermelon from the table and gave it to Yaoyao. Here, the cold watermelon is very quenching. Yaoyao took the watermelon from his mother and ate it without another word. When Pei Jingzhou came over, he saw that there was no room for him beside Li Xiwu. He could only sit in the armchair on the other side. He crossed his legs and leaned back lazily. He asked Li Xiwu, Where do you want to go later? Li Xiwu was silent for a moment before raising the corners of her lips. How about we go shopping tonight? Pei Jingzhou asked, Tonight? Dont you want to go out now? Go and rest, Li Xiwu said. l thought you guys would be downstairs. I brought Youyou down and we could go shopping together. Now that youre up, you guys should rest first and go out later. Pei Jingzhous lips twitched, wanting to say something. Li Xiwu knew what he wanted to say and insisted, Go out later. Rest first. Pei Jingzhou raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Alright, Ive received my wifes orders. With that, he stood up and walked towards Li Xiwu. The two children looked up at him at the same time. Pei Jingzhou did not say anything. He picked Youyou up and placed her on the sofa beside him. He turned around and was about to carry Yaoyao. Yaoyao immediately said, Ill go over myself. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. Youre quite observant. Yaoyao slid off the sofa and walked towards his sister. As he walked, he said, Because I have to make a living . Pei Jingzhou: Every time he heard his son say something unexpected, Pei Jingzhou became more and more curious about what his son had come into contact with behind his back. He sat down beside Li Xiwu and naturally reached his arm behind her. Where do you want to shop later? Li Xiwu tilted her head and looked at him. l just came here too. Im not familiar with the surroundings. Where did you and Yaoyao go shopping? Did you find anything fun? The street market is more lively, Pei Jingzhou said. Li Xiwu thought for a few seconds. The street market might be too lively for me. Why dont we go shopping? I want to buy a dress. Its perfectly normal to buy dresses since Hawaii has the most comfortable climate. Moreover, she did not bring any luggage on this trip. It was equivalent to shopping wherever she went. At this moment, she mentioned buying a dress, and Pei Jingzhou agreed. Alright, lets go shopping. Around six-thirty, Pei Jingzhou ordered dinner from the hotel and brought it up. After dinner, they left at seven. lhis hotel was very close to the busiest street market and to the business circle. Throughout the entire shopping trip, Pei Jingzhou took care of the children, carried their bags, paid, and carried their shopping bags. Li Xiwu was only in charge of shopping and trying on clothes. Then, she said, l want this. Pei Jingzhou took out his card and swiped it in one go. Li Xiwu bought several dresses, all in various colors and styles. The last shop she shopped in was mostly white and black. The style was also relatively familiar, which was in line with Li Xiwus favorite style. She chose a white strapless fishtail dress. The waistline design was very in line with her aesthetic taste, and she liked the curve of the fishtail very much. When she went to change into the dress and came out, Pei Jingzhou couldnt take his eyes off it. The dress was slim and the skirt was long. It was not suitable for her to spin around. She casually bent down for Pei Jingzhou to see. Does this look good? Before Pei Jingzhou could answer, the two little guys said in unison Mom looks good! Mom looks good! Li Xiwu smiled gently. You two have good taste. Mom thinks so too. She walked to the mirror and admired the white dress she liked at a glance. Pei Jingzhou stood up and walked towards her. He stood in front of the mirror with him, and his arm naturally wrapped around her waist. Why did you think of choosing a white dress? Li Xiwu turned her head. Dont I look good? No. Pei Jingzhou looked at her delicate face in the mirror. Its very beautiful. It suits you. Li Xiwu said, Then Ill buy it? Pei Jingzhou replied, Okay. Li Xiwu was about to change out of the fitting room when Pei Jingzhou said, Why dont you wear this and add a jacket outside? The temperature will drop a little at night. No, she said. l want to wear it when I go to the beach tomorrow. Pei Jingzhous eyes darkened. You bought a few brightly colored dresses just now. I thought you were planning to wear them at the beach. Different colors every day. Li Xiwu knew what Pei Jingzhou was suspecting. In any case, arent we staying in Hawaii for five days this time? 1 bought five dresses tonight. Ill change them every day. Ill wear the white one tomorrow. Pei Jingzhou smiled. Okay.. Chapter 528 - Chapter 528: A Little Tempted Chapter 528: A Little Tempted Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The next day. It was a sunny afternoon with a light breeze. Not far away, there were already some figures on the white beach. Those people were either in groups or alone. Li Xiwu came out of the bathroom and stood on the steps to look at the beach. When she saw Pei Jingzhou, she casually picked up the sun hat beside her and put it on. Then, she walked towards the white beach. The sunhat was very wide and covered the ultraviolet light tightly. Looking at her exposed arm, she was a little worried that todays sunscreen could not hold off the ultraviolet rays, although the ultraviolet rays werent that strong this time of year. Today, she was wearing the strapless white dress she had bought last night. Her arms were exposed, her bones were slender, and her skin was fair. This dress also perfectly displayed her graceful figure. It vividly displayed her assets. The ratio was shocking. Coupled with her beautiful face, every frown and smile was charming. But she probably didnt know how charming the outfit was. She hadnt gone far when she was stopped by a teenager jogging toward her Sorry to interrupt. The young man spoke in a polite tone. Li Xiwu raised her hand and touched the brim of her hat to her forehead. This way, her entire face was exposed. She saw the amazement in the young mans eyes turn to shock. For a moment, he forgot what he had come over to say and just stared at her blankly. Until Li Xiwu reminded him, Whats the matter? The young man came back to his senses and his ears quickly turned red. It was obvious that he was shy. He was so shy that he did not know what to say. He kept raising his hand to touch the back of his head. Li Xiwu sized up the youth in front of her. He had a very handsome face. His facial features were deep, especially his eye sockets, but his eyes were black, so was his hair. He also had the shape of an Asian face, Although he spoke English, she guessed that he was a mixed-blood. He looked to be in her late teens. He was wearing a white T-shirt and black hot pants, and his feet were bare. Teenagers of this age were so inexperienced. After he spoke, he couldnt even look her in the eye. Li Xiwu smiled and replied in English, If theres nothing else, Ill go over first. My husband is waiting for me over there. With that, she saw the young mans inexperienced and coy expression clearly stiffen. Then he looked at her in disbelief. The expression seemed to say: Your husband? Youre married? Are you kidding me? Thats impossible! The last hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes, indicating how unconvinced he was at this moment. Li Xiwu saw all the expressions on the young mans face. She did not smile too much because of that respect. She suppressed the smile on her lips and only smiled slightly. Then, in front of the young man, she raised her hand and pretended to brush her hair behind her ear, revealing the wedding ring on her ring finger. After brushing her hair, she walked past the young man. The young man snapped out of his daze. Seeing that his goddess was about to leave, he quickly chased after her. However, this time, he did not stop Li Xiwu. He just followed closely beside her and asked, Are you really married? Li Xiwu didnt expect the young man to catch up. Yes, Im married. The young man said, I dont believe you! Li Xiwu stopped in her tracks, and so did the youth. She turned to look at the young man, who was looking back at her. She knew that there was no need to explain clearly. After all, he was just a stranger she had met by chance. However, when she saw the young mans serious expression, his eyes clear and stupid, she couldnt help but laugh. Youre quite funny. Her laugh was gentle, and when she smiled, her expression was even more charming. The young man was dumbfounded again. He was completely mesmerized by Li Xiwu. His reaction was as if he had never seen a beauty before. Li Xiwu only smiled and he was mesmerized. Actually, it was not that he had never seen beauties before. The young man had seen many beauties, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Li Xiwu who could charm him from head to toe, My husbands waiting for me over there. I have to get over there. Bye. She smiled back. The young man did not leave just like that. He continued to follow her. Youre lying to me, arent you? Li Xiwu did not stop walking. How can you say that Im lying to you? The young man said seriously, Youre so young, your figure is so good, and youre so beautiful. You should be single with a lot of people chasing you. You cant be married. Li Xiwu smiled. Thank you for the compliment. The young man was shy. You dont have to thank me, because youre really beautiful. Ive been to many countries and Ive never seen anyone look so good. Its completely in line with my aesthetic. Even Li Xiwu, who was used to being praised, could not resist the young mans sincere and enthusiastic praise. She couldnt help but ask, Child, youve said this to many people, right? No, no, absolutely not. The young man raised his hand and swore. 1 swear, Ive never said anything like that to anyone before. Youre the first. With that, the young man made a point of correcting her. Im not a child. Im eighteen years old and an adult. Also, my name is Brynn. Its easy to remember. After correcting her, he even told Li Xiwu his name enthusiastically. Got it. See you again. Li Xiwu didnt intend to chat much with the youth and continued walking. But the young man was like sticky candy, insisting on sticking to her. To show my sincerity, I said my name. Can you tell me your name? Li Xiwu shook her head. Sorry. The young man tried to reassure himself. It doesnt matter. You must have your concerns if you didnt tell me. Li Xiwu: She stopped walking for the second time. The young man beside her stopped walking. For the second time, he stopped. Are you going to tell me your name? Li Xiwu asked the youth, What do you want to do? No, no. Dont misunderstand. The young man quickly clarified. I dont mean any harm. I just want to, want to, want to get to know you. After saying the last few words, the young man lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look Li Xiwu in the eye. Li Xiwu was a little helpless, but she still said her name. My name is Li Xiwu. The young man looked up. Li Xiwu? Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. Have you heard of this name? The young man shook his head. Not that Ive heard of it. I just think its quite a mouthful. Li Xiwu thought to herself that of course it was a mouthful. It would be strange if it went smoothly after the name she had come up with. The young man was clearly happy. He raised his left hand to scratch the back of his head, then his right hand to scratch the back of his head. He alternated his hands and asked very softly, Can I add you on WeChat? Probably not many girls could face the young mans face and some inexperienced actions without batting an eyelid. However, to Li Xiwu, other than feeling that the young man was a little cute and funny, her heart was indeed calm. She said to the young man, Sorry, no. The young man looked dejected. In the next second, he promised, Dont worry, I wont harass you.. Chapter 529 - Chapter 529: Attracting Bees and Butterflies Chapter 529: Attracting Bees and Butterflies Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although the young man in front of her was not difficult to deal with, Li Xiwu was no longer in the mood to deal with him. Before she came over, she had told Pei Jingzhou that she was going to the bathroom. She had already delayed for so long. Pei Jingzhou would be worried later. She was thinking about what to say when a small figure jumped over and hugged her thigh, shouting in a childish voice Momm Li Xiwu looked down and saw that it was her daughter, Youyou. She was a little surprised. This was because she didnt even see which direction Youyou was coming from. The sudden call of Mom also frightened the young man because he saw the little girl run over with his own eyes and hug the thigh of the goddess in front of him as she called her mother!! And the goddess did not push the little girl away. This, this, this, this is your daughter? the young man asked with a terrified expression. Li Xiwu looked up and smiled at the young man. Yes, my daughter, Youyou. With that, Li Xivvu picked Youyou up. Youyou looked at the young man curiously and blinked her big round eyes. Then, she turned to ask Li Xiwu, Mom, who is this uncle? Without waiting for Li Xiwu to answer, the young man said with a sullen expression, Im only eighteen years old, and you call me uncle? Li Xiwu smiled apologetically and said to the youth, Sorry, my daughter has a biological uncle about your age. Hes like you, very young. To be precise, it should be the clear sense of stupidity in the eyes of youths of the same age. But the young man still didnt believe it. He couldnt shake the feeling that this was one of the ways the goddess had rejected him. Maybe this little girl was her sister. Yaoyao is here Q Youyou said in Li Xiwus arms. Li Xiwu turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou walking towards her with his son in his arms. The moment the two of them looked at each other, Li Xiwu felt a little guilty. It wasnt that she hadnt been hit on by boys before and asked for her contact details. At that time, she had an impatient temperament and always rejected them without hesitation. Now, she is much calmer. She was not even as decisive as before, which delayed till now even Pei Jingzhou was here. The young man saw the man walking over. Although he was expressionless, his aura was like the mountains and seas. That aura was really a little oppressive to him. Although the other partys aura was strong, the young man was not afraid. He said in a timid tone, First come, first served. I hit on the goddess first. Before I succeed, stand aside. Faced with a young mans provocation, Pei Jingzhou did not even look at him. After coming over, he put his son down and walked to Li Xiwus side. He said calmly, l was wondering why you went to the bathroom for so long. So you met a child and was asked for directions. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. Yes. Pei Jingzhou asked, Did you point the way? Li Xiwu continued to suppress a smile. Not yet. Pei Jingzhou turned around and looked at the young man. Where are you going? The young man was stunned by Pei Jingzhous aura and almost couldnt answer. This magnetic field was comparable to his sisters when she was focused on experimenting. It was also a cold magnetic field that kept strangers away. The young man raised his head and puffed out his chest. Every word was on the tip of a knife and he did not know it. To the goddesss heart, but I accidentally got lost. Im asking the goddess to guide me. Pei Jingzhou pointed at the sea kindly. The road is there. Are you going? What kind of way is this? The young man had yet to realize the seriousness of the matter. Alright, I know youre just jealous of me. Jealous of me talking to the goddess first! Sigh, were both men. Dont mind me if Im honest. Youre already 28 or 29, right? The goddess is about the same age as me. Dont think about eating young grass! Pei Jingzhou sneered. The young man asked, What are you laughing at? Pei Jingzhou turned around and asked Li Xiwu, He said that Im an old cow who eats young grass? From just now to now, Li Xiwu was about to suffer internal injuries from holding back her laughter. She repeatedly bit her lip to hold back her laughter. When her expression management finally became more normal, she said, Youre young, right, Hubby? The word Hubby made the young man opposite widen his eyes in shock. The faint smile on Pei Jingzhous lips indicated that he was in a good mood. He was very satisfied with Li Xiwus answer. He looked at the young man. Im just an old cow eating young grass. Whats wrong? The young man: At this moment, the smug smile on the young mans lips completely cracked. He looked at the goddess, then at the man, and then at the two children he had subconsciously ignored just now, especially the little girl who had called the goddess Mom! Initially, the young man did not believe that his goddess was married. But he had to believe it now. Before the bud of love bloomed, it withered in the soil. Pei Jingzhou saw the young mans unpredictable face turn green and white. It was very exciting. He ignored him and took his daughter from Li Xiwus arms. He held Yaoyaos hand and said to her, Lets go, honey. Li Xiwu suppressed a smile and nodded. She said to the youth, Goodbye. The young man was disappointed. Sorry to disturb you. Li Xiwu smiled and shook her head. She turned around and left with Pei Jingzhou. After the two of them walked far away, Li Xiwu said to Pei Jingzhou, That child provoked you just now. I thought you would be rude to him. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Do I look like such an impulsive person? Li Xiwu said, No, but you dont like people provoking you. Pei Jingzhou smiled. That young brat is about the same age as Pei Youan. Why should I argue with him? Pei Jingzhou looked at Li Xiwu. Attracting the bees and butterflies. Li Xiwu coughed lightly. This is called endless charm. Its unstoppable. Thats true. My wife is as beautiful as a fairy and infinitely charming. As he spoke, Pei Jingzhous tone became serious. In order to prevent what happened just now from happening again, you cant leave my sight alone later. Li Xiwu smiled and replied, Got it, vinegar bucket. At this moment, the youth had yet to leave. He stood rooted to the ground and pulled out his phone with a long face. He called his sister, who was far away in the remote countryside, and said in an aggrieved voice, Koukou The line went dead. There was a beeping busy tone from the receiver. The young man was stunned. Unwilling to give up, he dialed again. The other end picked up. A calm voice came from the receiver. What can I do for you? The young man complained, l fell in love at first sight today. The girl on the other end of the line said calmly, Then the confession failed. The young mans mouth twitched. Damn! The girl on the other end of the line said, Youve never failed at flirting. Your tone this time is wrong. I guess youve kicked an iron plate. The young man sighed. Stop talking. I accidentally flirted with someones wife this time. You didnt see it. Shes really beautiful. Unfortunately, shes the mother of two children. The girl scolded in a calm tone, Evil creature. The young man: Before the girl hung up, the young man immediately asked, How long are you going to stay in that lousy place? Those old guys are waiting for your reply every day. Chapter 530 - Chapter 530: It’s Love Chapter 530: Its Love Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The wind on the beach had died down a lot. Li Xiwu raised her hand and adjusted the brim of her hat, trying not to block her vision. Behind her, she heard the laughter of Yaoyao and Youyou chasing after each other. She looked back and reminded gently, Run slower, the two of you. Be careful not to fall. Youyou replied as she ran, l wont, I wont Ouch~ As soon as she finished speaking, she fell. Youyou faced the beach and threw her hands in front of her, her face covered in sand. Yaoyao was shocked. When he reacted, he immediately helped Youyou up. Pei Jingzhou stood up. Seeing that Li Xiwu was about to go over, he said to her, Sit down. Ill go take a look. Then he went over first. They all thought that Youyou would cry. Unexpectedly, not only did the little girl not cry, but she also smiled foolishly. But her smile was full of sand, looking ugly and cute. Im fine. l . . . pfft, pfft, pfft As soon as Youyou spoke, she realized that her mouth was full of sand, so she spat out sand as she spoke. Even so, she was still smiling. This made others caught between laughter and tears. Yaoyao nervously checked if there were any abrasions on Youyous arms and knees. After confirming repeatedly that there were no abrasions, the nervousness on his face improved a little. Pei Jingzhou also checked carefully. In the end, he tidied Youyous clothes and wiped her face clean before returning to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu handed the coconut that had just been inserted with a straw to Pei Jingzhou. Was she hurt? No, she just ate some sand. Pei Jingzhou stuck his head over and took a sip of coconut juice. Li Xiwu chuckled and reached out again. Here, this is for you. When she reached out, she tried her best to turn her body to hide the bag behind her from Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou did not see the bag behind her for the time being. He only glanced at the coconut in her hand, which was also the one he had taken a sip of just now. He did not hesitate for long and reached out to take it. He asked with a smile, You cant drink anymore? What do you mean by I cant drink it? This is what I just opened for you. Li Xiwu snorted. Although there was a small hole in the coconut, it was intact without a straw. She only inserted the straw when she saw Pei Jingzhou coming over. In the end, this person thought that she could not finish it. Pei Jingzhou said, Just open it and drink it yourself. Theres no need to open it for me, I thought you couldnt drink it. You need an explanation for that? she asked with a smile. Pei Jingzhou said, Im afraid youll be angry. She stopped talking. She knew that the man beside her cared about her emotions the most at all times. When Pei Jingzhou retracted his gaze, he saw something behind her from the corner of his eye. He reached over. Seeing Pei Jingzhou reach over to take what was behind her, Li Xiwu pretended to be curious and asked, Whats wrong? Pei Jingzhou was stunned. The one behind you should be a bag, right? Pick it up and put it on the table. Otherwise, it wont be comfortable. She thought nothing of it. It doesnt matter. Pei Jingzhou looked behind her again. She quickly moved her body and leaned towards the small table. She held her chin in her palm and changed the topic. Fourth Brother, I look so good today. Arent you going to take a beautiful photo of me? Pei Jingzhou was slightly stunned. He looked at her meaningfully. Take a photo? Li Xiwu smiled. Uh-huh. Pei Jingzhou wanted to ask, Did you Come on, Im already posing, she urged. Li Xiwu interrupted Pei Jingzhou. She had already posed beautifully and was urging him to take a photo of her quickly. Pei Jingzhou retracted his question. There were two cameras on the table. He did not take one at random. Instead, he asked her, Which camera do you want to use? Use Li Xiwu reached out and tapped the camera on the small table. Use this Polaroid I bought last night. Pay attention to the angle and backlight. Dont black me out. Pei Jingzhou put the coconut back, then picked up the camera Li Xiwu had mentioned and stood opposite her. He asked her, Long shot or close shot? Li Xiwu maintained her pose. Take a long shot. Take a photo of the dress, too. Pei Jingzhou nodded. Not far away, Yaoyao and Youyou saw that they were taking photos and quickly ran towards Li Xiwu. Mom, Mom, I want to stand here. After Youyou ran over, she stood by Li Xiwus left hand. Yaoyao did not go over. He turned to look at his father, who was preparing to take a photo not far away. Pei Jingzhou received his sons gaze and did not say anything. He only gave him a look. Yaoyao understood that look and turned to walk the other way. Li Xiwu waved her hand and said, Yaoyao, you and Youyou each take one side. Yaoyao shook his head and said, Mom, I dont want to take photos. Oh, okay, then. Li Xiwu did not chase after the little guy and ask him why he was unwilling to take photos. She focused on the camera and said to Pei Jingzhou, Its done. Fourth Brother, film it. Pei Jingzhou agreed and began to adjust the angle of the photo. Yaoyao took advantage of the time when Mom and Youyou were taking photos to open the bag. There was the veil that Dad had prepared for Mom. But after he opened the bag, he didnt see the veil that Dad had prepared for Mom. Weird. How could there not be? Didnt Dad say that he would put the veil in this bag? Just as Yaoyao was wondering, he heard his mother call him Yaoyao. Yaoyao looked up in the direction of the voice. Li Xiwu smiled and asked, Yaoyao, do you need Mommys help? Yaoyao remembered that his father had said not to tell his mother in advance. This was a surprise for her, so he shook his head. You dont have to help. Ill find it. Li Xiwu asked again, What are you looking for? Yaoyao paused, not knowing how to answer. He looked at his father for help. Let me take a look. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou was walking towards Yaoyao. Yaoyao looked like he had seen his savior and gestured at the situation. As Pei Jingzhou approached, Yaoyao said in a low voice, Dad, the veil is gone. How can it be gone? I brought it out when 1 went out. Pei Jingzhou put down the camera, opened his bag, and continued to search. Yaoyao thought that he had neglected it. When his father came over, he would definitely be able to find the veil. He waited happily, but what came was Dads self-doubt l clearly brought it. Pei Jingzhou muttered to himself, Why was it gone? The joy on Yaoyaos face suddenly disappeared. Dad? Pei Jingzhou said unhappily, Dont call me. Yaoyao said, How could you forget to bring such an important thing? Pei Jingzhou looked up. Be quiet. Yaoyao was furious, his cheeks puffed up with anger. Useless. Pei Jingzhou: Fourth Brother. Li Xiwus voice came from behind. Pei Jingzhou gave up on the veil for the time being. He picked up the camera and stood up. Ill go over When he turned around and saw Li Xiwu, who was wearing a white veil not far away, he was stunned. Yaoyao also saw Li Xiwu, who was wearing a veil. His eyes were filled with joy. So the veil is already on Mommys head. Li Xiwu walked over step by step and stood in front of Pei Jingzhou. She looked around under Pei Jingzhous dazed gaze and asked, How is it? Is it alright? Pei Jingzhou came back to his senses. You Li Xiwu asked, Isnt it strange that I still found out about this after you hid it so well? Pei Jingzhou laughed. Actually, I knew it last night. Li Xiwu said, When I bought the white dress? Pei Jingzhou nodded. Mm. He knew it, but he wasnt sure. Li Xiwu took another half a step forward and closed the distance between her and Pei Jingzhou. She looked up at him and said, l happened to see you when you were choosing a veil. I heard everything you said. Pei Jingzhous eyes flickered. Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled. She reached out to hug him for a short while. Because of what I said, we no longer have a wedding, so our regrets cant be filled. I know you wont want to see me compromise because Im touched, so Ill take the initiative. Ill try to fill in the regrets of not having a wedding today. She slowly let go of Pei Jingzhou. We will host the wedding that belongs to the two of us. They looked at each other for a long moment. Pei Jingzhou did not say anything. He grabbed her chin and lowered his head to kiss her. Youyou widened her round eyes and watched her parents kiss. Yaoyao walked over and covered Youyous eyes. The kiss in the wind was so long. He once said, Li You, I want to hold your hand and toast the guests. She once said, l want to hold your hand too, from the beginning to the They were childhood sweethearts. The first time they met, an inexplicable joy sprang. Even after so many years, palpitations still arose. From then on, years passed. Even as time passed, all the love was still traceable.. Chapter 531 - Chapter 531: Black Stockings Chapter 531: Black Stockings Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The heavy curtains were impenetrable. Qiao Qiao rolled over under the blanket. She didnt have a good sleeping posture. Even when she turned, she wished she could cross the entire bed. This time, halfway through the turn, her limbs suddenly froze. After a moment, her hands began to move forward. When her fingertips touched something unusual, she knew very well that it wasnt the temperature of her body. But when she sensed that something was wrong, she didnt withdraw her hand. Instead, she boldly continued to touch it. Her wrist was suddenly restrained. She was shocked and subconsciously struggled. However, in the next second, the person who restrained her hand flipped over and pressed her down. Qiao Qiao opened her mouth to make a sound, but the person holding her down didnt give her a chance to speak. He blocked her lips with a kiss. Ugh Qiao Qiao was stunned. She instinctively wanted to push the person on top of her away, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not push him away. She straightened her back and wanted to press down, but the man on top of her could always easily restrain her again. The kiss was overwhelming. Qiao Qiao struggled to no avail. Her resistance was futile. In the end, she made up her mind and simply hugged the man on her and kissed him back, trying to distract him before escaping. She kissed him hard for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, a voice came from beside her ear. Wake up. Qiao Qiao suddenly opened her eyes. She had just been woken up. Her expression was blank, and her eyes were even more blank. Her mouth was still pouting, and she did not pout back for a long time. Mother Qiao, who was standing by the bed, said, Why are you pouting? Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and turned to look at Mother Qiao. She was stunned for dozens of seconds before asking, Mom, why are you in my room? Mother Qiao said, Jingmo came to knock on your door, but you didnt react for a long time. I happened to pass by and he asked me to come in and see why you werent up yet. With that, Mother Qiao asked again, Why are you pouting? Are you dreaming? Qiao Qiao: Pout Pouting? Did she? Yes it seemed Images suddenly surged into her mind. She had been forcefully kissed. Because she couldnt struggle, she counterattacked. In the end, she couldnt counterattack, so she simply forced a kiss back. She remembered hugging that person tightly and kissing her hard. Then, then she was woken up by Mother Qiao. When she was woken up, she was still pouting. Qiao Qiao covered her face. Damn it. She actually had such a dream. And the person she dreamed of was Shao Jingmo forcing a kiss on her. Qiao Qiao closed her eyes tightly, wanting to find a gap in the bed so that she could crawl into it. How could she treat the person in her dream, whose face could not even be seen clearly, as Shao Jingmo? That person could be anyone but him. Could it be because she had been in more and more physical contact with Shao Jingmo recently? No, from today onwards, she had to keep a distance from Shao Jingmo. At least three meters away from him! Seeing that Qiao Qiao was covering her face and not saying a word, Mother Qiao didnt ask further. She only urged, Get up and wash up. Its your first day in the company today. Jingmo has been waiting for you for a long time. Qiao Qiaos hand, which was covering her face, stiffened. She suddenly turned her head and asked, Im entering the company today? Seeing her daughters reaction, Mother Qiao knew that she had lost her mind from sleeping. Look at your memory. You were fine in front of Grandpa last night. Today, you officially followed Jingmo into the company for an internship. You forgot about it when you woke up. After Mother Qiaos reminder, Qiao Qiao finally remembered that she was going to the company with Shao Jingmo today. She sat up. Niother Qiao said, Why are you still hugging the pillow? Qiao Qiao looked at the pillow in her arms and was so shocked that she threw it away. Mother Qiao had a strange expression. Hurry up and get up. You have to wear more formal clothes. Got it, Qiao Qiao replied in a tired voice. Actually, she wasnt listening to this. Mother Qiao didnt leave either. She suddenly approached Qiao Qiao. At this moment, Qiao Qiaos head was lowered and she didnt realize that Mother Qiao was approaching. Until she heard Mother Qiaos faint voice ask her, Somethings wrong with you since you came back from the capital. Qiao Qiao, tell me, did you and Jingmo Probably knowing what Mother Qiao was going to say, Qiao Qiao quickly interrupted her. No, no, nothing. Mother Qiao straightened her back. Youre in a hurry to explain because you have a guilty conscience. Qiao Qiao: ? No way! Mother Qiao suddenly looked back at the door with a serious expression. No one was there. She retracted her gaze and went forward. She sat down by Qiao Qiaos bed and said to her earnestly, When you and Jingmo got married back then, it was also because of the situation. We had an unspoken mutual understanding. Qiao Qiao looked confused. She didnt know why her mother had suddenly told her this. Was this a reminder of something? Just as she was wondering, she heard Mother Qiao ask her, You and Jingmo arent together now, right? Hearing this, Qiao Qiao blushed slightly. Mom, dont say that. Seeing her daughters reaction, Mother Qiao knew that she had guessed correctly. You and Jingmo havent reached that stage yet, so its good to keep it like this. Anyway, you dont like him, and he doesnt think much of you. When the Bai familys matter is resolved in the future, you can part on good terms with him. Qiao Qiao was stunned. She had always thought that her mother wanted her to rely on Shao Jingmo. Only now did she know that her mother did not want her to have a deeper relationship with Shao Jingmo. Mother Qiao shouted, Guigui. Qiao Qiao looked up at Mother Qiao. Whats wrong, Mom? She heard Mother Qiao say, The Bai family is rising day by day. Only Shao Jingmo can deal with the Bai family. He has the ability to protect you. This is something Mom and Dad cant do. You have to be grateful. l know. Of course Ill be grateful to him. Actually, there was no need for Mother Qiao to remind her about this. Qiao Qiao knew what she was doing. Although she always picked on Shao Jingmo, that was before she knew the truth about marriage. Now that she had to rely on him as her backer, although she still hated him, she would not show it on her face like before. One had to have a conscience. She thought that her mother was just reminding her not to make Shao Jingmo angry. l know you know what youre doing. Im just taking precautions. Im warning you. Mother Qiao!s expression was as serious as before, and her tone was deep. Its better to pretend to be led by the nose than follow your heart. Otherwise, itll be too late for regrets. Qiao Qiao was stunned again. Too late to regret? Mother Qiao said, Im afraid that you really like him. Its not that hes bad, but hes not that suitable for you. You have a better future. Youll meet someone more suitable for you. Hes different. He stands at a high place and has no lack of other women around him. I dont want to see you fall in love with him one day and fight with other women. When Qiao Qiao heard Mother Qiaos words, she smiled indifferently. Dont worry. Its impossible for me to like Shao Jingmo. Thatd be best, Mother Qiao said. Mother Qiao stood up and changed her serious expression. She said gently to Qiao Qiao, Study hard after you go to the company. You went to the capital after graduation. You dont have any experience in the company. This is a good opportunity. Remember to bear with it and not get into conflict with anyone. Mom, youre a little worried for nothing. My personality is so good. How can 1 get into a conflict easily? As Qiao Qiao spoke, she patted her chest in front of Mother Qiao. Dont worry. Ill train well in the company. After Mother Qiao went out, Qiao Qiao quickly got out of bed. After washing up, she went to the cloakroom to dress up. Half an hour later, in the side hall of the Qiao residence. Shao Jingmo was sitting on the sofa reading a financial newspaper. He was holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a newspaper in the other. When he heard a commotion at the top of the stairs, he looked up. Good morning, Little Uncle. After Qiao Qiao finished the last step, she let go of her dress. When she walked over, she took the initiative to greet Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo placed the coffee in his hand on the table and looked up at her. suggest you change your clothes. Before Qiao Qiao could approach, she stopped when she heard Shao Jingmos words. She looked down at what she was wearing. It was pleasing to the eye and she liked it no matter how much she looked at it. Why do you want to change? she asked. Shao Jingmo closed the newspaper. Its not suitable. Qiao Qiao asked again, Why not? Shao Jingmo put the newspaper aside and got up to walk towards her. Just as he was about to approach, Qiao Qiao looked at his face and suddenly thought of the dream this morning. She took two steps back and pulled away from the two of them. Seeing her retreat, Shao Jingmo did not go forward again. He looked at her. It was the same three words. Its not suitable. Qiao Qiao didnt want to go against him, but she had chosen this outfit from the closet this morning and matched it for a long time. It was clearly very good-looking and appropriate. A knitted skirt, a small fragrant jacket, and short boots. She didnt show anything. She was even wearing leg socks. Why did she say they werent suitable? Or rather, what should she dress like? OL business attire and black stockings? Chapter 532 - Chapter 532: Office Hidden Marriage Chapter 532: Office Hidden Marriage Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao glanced at Shao Jingmos expression. It wasnt very bad, so she asked in a negotiating tone, Can I not change? I think its good to wear it like Shao Jingmo did not look at her. He turned around and walked out. Up to you. Qiao Qiao was delighted. Seeing that Shao Jingmo was about to reach the door, she quickly followed him. Hey, wait for me. A few minutes later, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo sat in the same car. She wanted to sit in the front passenger seat, but she was stopped by the bodyguard, Jingcheng. Miss, sit in the back with Third Master. Qiao Qiao raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. l want to sit in front. Her attitude was firm. Jingcheng looked troubled and looked at the man who was already sitting in the back seat. Shao Jingmo did not even look up. Just let her be. After hearing Shao Jingmos words, Qiao Qiao acted as if she was afraid that the bodyguard didnt hear her. She repeated it to him twice smugly. Little Uncle said to let me be, did you hear that? Let me be! Hey! Shao Jingmo was not looking at her at first, but when he heard her smug tone, he could not help but look up at her. The arc of her body was small, but her tone was smug and cheerful. As she twisted, her gaze accidentally met Shao Jingmos. Qiao Qiao immediately restrained herself. Ahem, since Little Uncle said so, move aside. Jingcheng stepped aside. Qiao Qiao quickly got into the front passenger seat. Shao Jingmo smiled. He could tell that she had the intention to distance herself from him since morning and had been avoiding him. He did not say anything and just closed his eyes to rest. The black Bentley drove steadily down the wide avenue. Qiao Qiao took out her lipstick from her bag and pulled down the rearview mirror of the passenger seat. She looked left and right and felt that her lips were a little pale, so she put some. After being smug for a long time, she remembered that she still did not know what position she would take in the company. She turned to ask Shao Jingmo, who was resting with his eyes closed, Little Uncle, you only said that I would go to the company, but whats my position in the company? Shao Jingmo slowly opened his eyes, his deep pupils bottomless. There are many positions at the bottom. If you want to do anything, someone will take you to the Human Resources Department. Just let me know when you report. Qiao Qiaos face, which was filled with good mood, instantly fell because of Shao Jingmos words. What? Shao Jingmo looked at her. Didnt you hear me? Qiao Qiao was furious. Im Qiao Huashengs biological granddaughter after all. Why must I start from the bottom when I enter the company? Shao Jingmo asked, Didnt you say in front of Grandpa last night that you would work hard even if you started at the bottom? These words choked Qiao Qiao. She did say that last night. At that time, it was to make her grandfather happy and let him know that she could take any hardship. She thought that if Shao Jingmo let her enter the company, he would at least arrange a more decent job for her. Unexpectedly, he really listened to what she had said to coax her grandfather last night and let her work at the bottom after entering Deep Blue. Shao Jingmo looked at her dissatisfied expression. Why? You dont accept it? l accept! Qiao Qiaos tone was very serious. She turned her head, put away the lipstick, and put it back in her bag. Why wouldnt I accept it? Grandpa asked me to listen to you, Little Uncle. Since you asked me to go to the east, I naturally wont go against you and go to the west. The work at the bottom is also done by humans. I can even do cleaning for the company. I definitely wont complain. Every word in these words was filled with backbone, but every word was meaningful. How could Shao Jingmo not tell? After all, even Jingcheng, who was beside her, could tell. He almost couldnt help but laugh out loud. It was very difficult to hold it in. There was no emotion on Shao Jingmos face. If theres anything, you can call me. Who wants to call you! Qiao Qiaos backbone was still there. Dont worry. After I enter the company, 1 promise I wont say a word about my relationship with you. No. Qiao Qiao turned her head and said firmly to Shao Jingmo, Ill pretend not to know you in the company. Shao Jingmo: What followed was a stagnant atmosphere. Qiao Qiao didnt say another word until the car arrived at the building of the Deep Blue Corporation. After Shao Jingmo got out of the car, Qiao Qiao was still sitting in the car. Shao Jingmo waited outside the car for two minutes, but Qiao Qiao didnt get out. He walked around the front of the car to the passenger window and knocked lightly. Knock knock knock C Qiao Qiao lowered the car window and said coldly, What? Shao Jingmo said, Get out. Qiao Qiao crossed her arms and glanced at him without looking at him. Im just a low-level employee. Its better not to go in with the president of the company, let alone let other employees see me get out of the presidents car. The company is so big and has thousands of people. I dont want others to say that Im the presidents mistress. How unpleasant. She spoke matter-of-factly, and her competing attitude was serious. That arrogant look made Shao Jingmo laugh, but he quickly regained his composure. Stop fooling around and come down. Qiao Qiao leaned in and turned her back to Shao Jingmo in an extremely awkward posture. No, no way. Shao Jingmo looked at her quietly for a few seconds before saying, If you dont come down, Im going to take action. Qiao Qiaos eyes widened. She suddenly turned around and looked at the man who had threatened her just now. You want to take action? Shao Jingmo did not say anything. Qiao Qiao repeated what she had just said. You want to take action? With that, Shao Jingmo suddenly opened the car door. As the car door opened, Qiao Qiao felt that there was nothing in front of her that could protect her, especially since Shao Jingmo said that he wanted to take action. At this moment, her expression changed. She crossed her arms in a gesture of self-defense. Lets talk nicely. You cant hit me. Without a word, Shao Jingmo leaned in and carried Qiao Qiao out. Qiao Qiao struggled for a long time before Shao Jingmo said, Are you done? Finally, Qiao Qiao stopped. She looked at Shao Jingmos cold face and turned to look at the ground. She was hanging in the air, which meant that Shao Jingmo was hugging her in public. Qiao Qiao let out a sigh. After a few seconds, she said, Put me down. Shao Jingmo said, Come in with me or Ill carry you in. Its your choice. It was a simple multiple-choice question. There was no need to think, but Qiao Qiao still asked, You really dare to carry me in? Shao Jingmo smiled. What do you think? Qiao Qiao said, l dont think you dare. Then lets try. Shao Jingmo hugged her and prepared to walk around the back of the car. Qiao Qiao was shocked. Realizing that Shao Jingmo was serious and not joking, she quickly shouted, Put me down. Ill go in with you. She was really afraid that Shao Jingmo would go crazy. It would be ridiculous to carry her in like that. On the first day she came to the company, the entire company knew about her relationship with Shao Jingmo. How could she survive? Shao Jingmo saw through her thoughts at a glance. Are you afraid that the people in the company will know about our relationship? We agreed on a secret marriage. Of course Im afraid, Qiao Qiao replied without thinking.. Chapter 533 - Chapter 533: Mrs President, Who Is Worth Billions Chapter 533: Mrs President, Who Is Worth Billions Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations They had agreed on a secret marriage before. Their relationship wouldnt be made public. Qiao Qiao couldnt ask for more, and Shao Jingmo tacitly agreed. But now, Qiao Qiao clearly felt that Shao Jingmo wasnt joking. He really planned to carry her in just like that. In that case, everyone in the company would know about her relationship with Shao Jingmo. Put me dovvn, she urged anxiously, kicking her shins. Shao Jingmo did not stand still. He did as she said and put her down. He turned sideways and used his broad body to block the view on the other side. His cold gaze stopped on her tightly furrowed brows as he explained, Those old fellows in Deep Blue have never seen you before, so they wont know that you joined Deep Blue today. They arranged for you to be at the bottom level so that you can adapt to the scale of the company as soon as possible and understand the interpersonal relationships in the company. Another point you can rest assured. Ive already arranged for someone to keep an eye on you at all times. No one will dare to stack the deck against you. There will also be someone specially guiding you. You wont be tired at any time. Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. Her lips parted slightly with a slightly surprised expression. Shao Jingmo said calmly, Shut your mouth. Qiao Qiao swallowed and obediently shut her mouth. Seeing Shao Jingmos serious expression, she hesitated for a long time before saying, Little Uncle, Im sorry Shao Jingmo said indifferently, You dont have to say that. Qiao Qiao looked up and took a step in front of him, smiling ingratiatingly at him. 1 1 didnt know youd arranged it all. If Id known Shao Jingmo knew what she was going to say. If you had known, you wouldnt have fallen out with me? l didnt fall out. Qiao Qiao wouldnt admit that she had thought of falling out with him on impulse, but her rationality pulled her back. She couldnt fall out with Shao Jingmo now. Just as she finished rationalizing, she heard Shao Jingmos explanation. She was stunned. Qiao Qiao was so guilty that she didnt even look at Shao Jingmo. Im just a little impatient, you know. Shao Jingmo said, l dont know. Qiao Qiao choked. Shao Jingmo turned around and reminded her, Follow me. Oh, Im coming. At this moment, she had already forgotten about keeping a distance from Shao Jingmo. What two or three meters? She had completely forgotten about it. She followed closely behind Shao Jingmo into Deep Blue. The bodyguard, Jingcheng, followed behind. As tor why Shao Jingmo always had a skilled bodyguard by his side, (Liao Qiao didnt understand it in the past. Now, she knew that it was because the Bai familys power was always around. It was safest to have a bodyguard by his side. On the way in, when all the employees saw Shao Jingmo, they would stop in their tracks and nod in greeting. Then, they would look at Qiao Qiao, who was beside Shao Jingmo. No one had seen Qiao Qiao before. She was not the only woman who followed Shao Jingmo into the company, but she was the only woman who followed Shao Jingmo into the company early in the morning. The other women before her were either company employees or partners. Therefore, after Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo walked far away, many people still turned to look at the woman beside the President and guessed her identity. Under countless curious gazes, Qiao Qiao went into the Presidents elevator with Shao Jingmo. After the elevator door closed, she immediately asked Shao Jingmo, I followed you into the company just now. So many people saw it. We agreed to keep our secret marriage a secret. How do we resolve it? Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways. How do you want to resolve it? Qiao Qiao said, Anyway, we have to keep our marriage a secret. Shao Jingmo said, No admission, no explanation, no clarification. Is that okay? Qiao Qiao: Shao Jingmo smiled and said calmly, Do you know why I insisted on letting you come into the company with me? Why? Qiao Qiao was curious about this as well. Shao Jingmo stared at her for a few seconds before saying calmly, Its for Grandpa to see. Qiao Qiao was puzzled. Grandpa? Shao Jingmo retracted his gaze. Im the actual owner of Deep Blue, but the chairman is still him. He has controlled this company for most of his life. Do you think he cant reach out to the company just because hes sick and cant manage the company? Qiao Qiao immediately understood. She thought that there was another reason why Shao Jingmo wanted her to follow him into the company. For example, he actually wanted everyone in the company to know about her true relationship with him. In the end, she was thinking too much. So he was doing it for her grandfather. This was considered an attitude for Grandpa. Qiao Qiao realized that she wasnt so happy inside. She felt a little depressed. l understand. As for the rumors, you have to deal with them. Shao Jingmo replied, Mm. They arrived at the floor of the Presidents office. The elevator doors opened. Shao Jingmo went out first. Qiao Qiao watched Shao Jingmo leave first and thought that he wasnt even waiting for her. As she was thinking, she heard Shao Jingmo say, Dont just stand there. Follow me. Oh, coming. She hurried after him. As this was her first time at Deep Blue Corporation, Qiao Qiaos impression of the entire company was that it was huge, including Shao Jingmos office. It was actually a separate floor with floor-to-ceiling windows in all directions, overlooking the entire Xingzhou. The secretary came in to report the meeting contents. Shao Jingmo sat behind his desk and flipped through the documents. Jingcheng stood silently at the door. Another assistant was already sorting out another portion of the documents needed for the meeting. Qiao Qiao was the most bored person, but she didnt dare to walk around Shao Jingmo!s office. She sat obediently on the sofa and played with her phone. After an unknown period of time, Shao Jingmo got up and walked out from behind his desk. Seeing this, Qiao Qiao immediately stood up and pretended to follow. Shao Jingmo, who was about to go to a meeting, stopped when he saw Qiao Qiao follow him. He said calmly, You dont have to follow. Qiao Qiao was disappointed. Oh. Shao Jingmo took in the flash of disappointment on her face and explained, Ill be in a meeting for about forty minutes. Qiao Qiao said nothing. Shao Jingmo called Jingcheng over. Stay with her. Dou Ying will come over in ten minutes. Just let her leave with Dou Ying. Jing Cheng nodded. Understood. After explaining, Shao Jingmo left the office. Qiao Qiao looked at the huge office and saw that only she and the bodyguard were left. All the restrictions from before disappeared, and she began to walk around. There were many vases and paintings in Shao Jingmos office. They looked quite expensive. She casually touched a vase and asked Jingcheng, Is this expensive? Jingcheng answered her, Miss, the one youre asking about is the pink Baitong vase that Third Master bought at Christies. Its worth 4,540,000. Qiao Qiao retracted her hand in shock. Any one of them was so expensive, let alone the others. There were several vases in this row. She went to the other side and reached for a painting. Jing Chengs voice came from behind. This is a work from Zhang Daqian, which the Third Master bought at Christies Uh Theres no need to finish. I know I cant touch it just by hearing the name Zhang Daqian. Qiao Qiao retracted her hand and went to Shao Jingmos desk. She said to Jingcheng, Dont tell Little Uncle that 1 took his seat. Jingcheng nodded. Okay. Forget it. Its fine even if you say it. Ill sit. After saying that, Qiao Qiao sat down and leaned back. She sighed and said, Its so comfortable to sit in a Presidents chair worth hundreds of billions. Jingcheng said, Miss, youre also Mrs President with a net worth of hundreds of billions. You sure know how to talk. Qiao Qiao grinned. As she smiled, she suddenly shut her mouth.. She remembered the name Shao Jingmo had mentioned before he left and immediately asked Jingcheng, Who was Dou Ying before Little Uncle left? Chapter 534 - Chapter 534: Dote On Her Chapter 534: Dote On Her Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao had just asked Jingcheng about this person when the office door opened. A woman in an OL business attire walked in with a document in her arms. The woman was expressionless and looked extremely imposing. She also had an aura that could not be ignored. Qiao Qiao only glanced at her and subconsciously stood up from her seat. Miss Qiao, 1 hear you talking about me? The woman walked to the desk and placed the documents on the table. She greeted Qiao Qiao expressionlessly. Qiao Qiao looked a little uncomfortable. She didnt know this woman, but the other party called her name directly after coming in. She was a little puzzled, but she didnt ask who the other party was directly. Instead, she looked at Jingcheng beside her for help. Jingcheng understood Qiao Qiaos gaze and took a step forward, about to introduce the woman to her. At this moment, the woman had already taken the initiative to introduce herself. Im really sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. Im the secretary of the board of directors, Dou Ying. With that, Dou Ying extended her hand to Qiao Qiao. Nice to meet you, Miss Qiao. Other than being a little restrained at first, Qiao Qiao didnt show much fear at this moment. She openly reached out and shook Dou Yings hand. Hello, Secretary Dou. Dou Ying smiled faintly. During your employment, Ill take you to familiarize yourself with the company. Dont worry, Miss Qiao. Ill take good care of you. Qiao Qiao felt extremely uncomfortable hearing this. Could Secretary Dou think that she was a well-connected person and look down on her? Just as she was thinking this, she saw Dou Ying sizing her up with a scrutinizing gaze. This gaze made Qiao Qiao even more uncomfortable, as if she was a commodity for sale in the window. She asked seriously, Secretary Dou, will my subsequent work be arranged by you? Of course. Dou Ying retracted her scrutinizing gaze. However, before I arrange your work, you have to change your clothes. Its not inappropriate to dress like this. On the contrary, its especially appropriate. However, as the lowest employee of Deep Blue Corporation, its too ostentatious to dress like this. You dont look like an employee. The corners of Qiao Qiaos mouth twitched. It was her clothes again! She remembered that before she left, Shao Jingmo had said that she had to change her clothes. Although he did not insist that she change at that time and said that it was up to her, Secretary Dou told her to change. If she had known, she would have changed at home. She asked, So what should I wear? Dou Ying opened the document in front of her and handed it to Qiao Qiao. Read these first. Ill bring you the clothes you changed into later. Oh, okay. Qiao Qiao took the document and sat down to read it. After sitting down for a few seconds, she suddenly stood up in shock and explained to Dou Ying nervously, Im sorry, I forgot that Im in Little in President Qiaos seat. Ill be right out. There were no signs of anger on Dou Yings face. She only said, Finish reading it early. Then she went to the table beside her and got another file. Qiao Qiao looked at Secretary Dous back and heaved a sigh of relief. When she sat down just now, Secretary Dou did not remind her. She reacted on her own. The moment she stood up anxiously, her mind was filled with Secretary Dous extremely serious and mean face. She was so frightened that her breathing became nervous. In the end, when she was explaining, she realized that Secretary Dous expression did not seem to be as bad as she had imagined. She guessed that it was probably because this was her first time committing a crime. Secretary Dou gave her some slack. She reckoned that if she did this again later, she would definitely scold her badly. She did not know why, but although Secretary Dou had not scolded her at all until now, she felt that this Secretary Dou must be very fierce when she scolded people. Shao Jingmo must have handed her over to a strict person like Secretary Dou on purpose. Perhaps Secretary Dou was here on Shao Jingmos orders to take her down a notch. But even if that was the case, what could she do? Since she wanted to stay in the company, she had to accept her fate! Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao sighed silently. Suddenly, she felt that her life was so hard. She came out from behind the desk with the document and went to the sofa to sit down and read it slowly. She was always easily distracted, especially when she could not understand these documents. If she could not understand them, she would have to ask. However, she did not want to take the initiative to ask Secretary Dou, mainly because she was afraid of her. She didnt dare ask and couldnt understand. She could only stare at the document in a daze. Aye! This was the seventh time she sighed. Jingcheng, who was standing at the side, was a little worried when he saw Missy sighing repeatedly. At this moment, his phone rang. Jingcheng took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Third Master. Shao Jingmo: [How is she?] Jingcheng typed a reply: [Third Master, Missy is looking at the account book Secretary Dou gave her, but Missy cant read it. Shes sitting on the sofa holding the account book and sighing.] To Qiao Qiao, what she was holding was an incomprehensible document. To the entire Deep Blue Corporation, she was holding the lifeline in her hand. Shao Jingmo had shown such an important thing to Qiao Qiao as soon as he came up. Probably no one could guess his true thoughts. Buzz. Shao Jingmo sent a short message: [Remind her to ask Dou Ying if she doesnt understand.] After Jingcheng came to a conclusion through his long observation, he typed a reply: [Miss is a little afraid of Secretary Dou.] Shao Jingmo did not send another message. At the same time, Dou Ying was checking the contents of Deep Blue Corporations recent press conference. Before she could finish checking, she received a call from Shao Jingmo. Dou Ying picked up the phone and deliberately raised her voice. President Qiao. Qiao Qiao, who was in a daze, immediately came back to her senses when she heard Dou Ying call her President Qiao. She quickly pretended to be reading the document seriously, but in fact, she pricked up her ears to secretly listen to Dou Yings call. At a certain distance, she naturally could not hear Shao Jingmos voice on the other end of the line, but she heard Dou Yings words clearly. Shao Jingmo asked Dou Ying, Did you scold her? Dou Ying replied, l wouldnt dare. Shao Jingmo said, Shes timid and cant help but be frightened. Dont always put on a straight face. Youll scare her. Dou Ying smiled bitterly. l know. Youve already specially instructed me more than five times. These words were not an exaggeration. Shao Jingmo had really instructed her no less than five times. Only Qiao Qiaos matter would make him pay special attention. He had instructed her many times. At this moment, there was a short seven to eight seconds of silence on the other end of the line. Dou Ying did not say anything else and waited for the person on the other end to give her instructions. After waiting for a moment, Shao Jingmo said, My meeting is almost over. Theres no need to tell her. Let her rest for a while, Dou Ying convinced him with reason. Diligence makes up for the lack of talent. Shao Jingmo still said, Let her rest. Dou Ying simply stopped persuading him and agreed. Alright, got it. After ending the call, Dou Ying looked at the screen of the phone and shook her head with a bitter smile. She placed the phone aside and turned around.. Chapter 535 - Chapter 535: A Scene of That Causes His Blood Boil Chapter 535: A Scene of That Causes His Blood Boil Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing Secretary Dou turn around, Qiao Qiao immediately retracted her gaze and concealed her eavesdropping posture. She pretended to be reading the document seriously. Until Secretary Dou walked over and stood beside her. Theres no need to look at it for the time being. Give me the document. Qiao Qiao handed the document back to Dou Ying without hesitation. After Dou Ying took it, she asked, Am I going to read it later? Dou Ying put away the document and put it into a yellow paper bag. When she heard Qiao Qiaos question, she looked up at her. This glance was especially intimidating to Qiao Qiao. She immediately said, Ill continue reading it. Dou Ying squeezed out a trace of gentleness from her stiff face. Theres no need to read it for the time being. Ill teach you how to read it later. Qiao Qiao nodded. Thats good. Sit for a while. Ill take you to change after Ive checked the contents of the press conference. Dou Ying turned around and said. Qiao Qiao heard this. Did it mean that she could blatantly let go? That would be great. She leaned back comfortably on the sofa. If the location and scene hadnt forbidden it, she would have just laid down and taken out her phone to play a game. In the end, she could only maintain a ladylike sitting posture. She took out her phone and casually scrolled through Weibo to see which female celebrity or male celebrity was trending again. About seven or eight minutes passed. Dou Ying had already checked the contents of the press conference. She came over and called Qiao Qiao. Alright, follow me. Qiao Qiao obediently put away her cell phone and followed Dou Ying out of the office. Under Shao Jingmo!s instructions, Jingcheng had been following Qiao Qiao. In the past, Qiao Qiao hated such inseparable sidekicks, but not now. She wouldnt find Jingcheng annoying wherever she went. After going down two flights of stairs, Dou Ying took Qiao Qiao to a company employees changing room. Then, she took out a set of clothes and handed it to Qiao Qiao. Change into this set. Qiao Qiao took it and nodded without looking at it carefully. Okay. Dou Ying looked at her meaningfully before turning to leave. This time, there was only Qiao Qiao in the changing room. She hugged the clothes Dou Ying had given her and sat dovvn in frustration. Suddenly, she felt a little like a deserter. It was too uncomfortable here. She spoke and did things with her hands tied, afraid that she would make that secretary Dou unhappy. She frowned and continued to sigh. From Shao Jingmos office above to the changing room below, she had sighed all her life today. Suddenly realizing that she was in front of a mirror, she forced a smile at the mirror. Tsk tsk, it was uglier than crying! Afraid that Secretary Dou would come in and rush her, she did not dare to delay any longer and got up to change. She did not notice what style the clothes Dou Ying had given her were. Now that she lifted it, she realized that it was actually an OL black and white professional suit. Unlike Dou Yings professional suit, hers was a skirt, and Dou Yings professional suit was a shirt and pants. Besides, this set of hers came with a black stockings. Qiao Qiao: When she went out, she still remembered that Shao Jingmo had said that she was not dressed appropriately. Could it be that she had to wear business attire with black stockings? See? Dou Ying had really prepared a professional suit and black stockings for her! She wasnt going to be Shao Jingmos secretary. Was it really okay for her to dress like this in the company? Knock knock There was a knock on the door, followed by Dou Yings voice. Are you done changing? Qiao Qiao craned her neck and replied, Ill be right there! After agreeing, she couldnt care less and quickly changed into this set of clothes. In less than two minutes, this OL professional suit was worn by Qiao Qiao. The professional suit was commonly seen with black and white colors, and the inside was a white shirt. Qiao Qiaos breasts were neither big nor small. This white shirt was barely suitable for her, but it was a little astringent! And the bottom skirt. It was a little too short. She pulled it down. It still felt short. Logically speaking, if she worked at the bottom, there should be no problem with the top of the professional suit. She should be wearing pants below, just like Dou Yings business attire. But her shirt was so tight, and she was wearing a hip-hugging dress. Most importantly, it was so tight that it showed off the curves of her figure. It just it didnt feel like she was here to work. Instead, it felt like she was here to seduce her boss. Not! Appropriate! Besides, it was fine if the suit was indecent, but there were even more indecent black stockings. Qiao Qiao held her forehead. She might as well put these black stockings on her head. However, if she really walked out with it on her head, she wouldnt have to wait for tomorrow. She would be famous in the company today. After struggling for a few seconds, Qiao Qiao nimbly put on the black stockings. Her legs were well-proportioned and slender. After putting on the stockings, her legs were sexy and attractive. Looking up, it was business attire, so it became indecent and sexy. Did Secretary Dou take the wrong clothes? Qiao Qiao sweated. A few minutes later, she came out of the changing room coyly. She covered herself with her original jacket, trying to look serious. Seeing Qiao Qiao come out, Dou Ying circled Qiao Qiao and sized up her. Qiao Qiao said, Secretary Dou, I dont think this attire suits me very well. Who said its not suitable? Dou Ying was very satisfied. She took the jacket off Qiao Qiaos shoulder and placed it on the crook of her arm. l think it suits you. No, it suits you very well. Qiao Qiao: She turned to ask Jingcheng. In the end, she realized that Jingcheng had turned around and looked away when she came out of the changing room. Who would dare to look at this! It was clearly to the extent that only Third Master could see it. In the end, Qiao Qiao followed Dou Ying to an office with a sullen expression. This office naturally could not be compared to Shao Jingmos huge office that occupied an entire floor. However, it was still very open, clean, and tidy. Qiao Qiao pulled down the hem of her skirt as she slowly walked around the office. Dou Ying, who was walking over from behind, reached out and pressed her lower back. Lift your head and chest. Dont hunch over. And dont keep tugging at your skirt. Qiao Qiao immediately stood up straight at Dou Yings reminder, but she still said, Im not used to wearing this. Dou Ying said, Take your time getting used to it. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Dou Ying reminded Qiao Qiao, This is where youll work from now on. Familiarize yourself with the environment first. I have something to deal with. Ill come over later. Qiao Qiao answered sullenly, Okay. After Dou Ying left, Qiao Qiao didnt want to pretend for a moment. She quickly unbuttoned a few buttons on her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. At first, this shirt felt barely suitable, only a little tight. After all this time, she felt so tight that she felt a little breathless. As soon as the button was undone, the gully appeared. It was white and dazzling. At the same time, outside the door. Shao Jingmo had just come down when he met Dou Ying and asked, Is she inside? Dou Ying nodded. Yes. Shao Jingmo did not know that Dou Ying had asked Qiao Qiao to change her clothes. Just as he was about to go over, Dou Ying suddenly said, President Qiao, Ive already settled everything this afternoon. I have something on at home, so Ill go back first. Shao Jingmo nodded. Okay. Dou Ying immediately said, Thank you, President Qiao. After thanking him, she immediately left. With one hand in his pocket, Shao Jingmo walked towards the office. When he opened the door and entered, he saw a scene that made his blood boil.. Chapter 536 - Chapter 536: Her Hair Is So Seductive Chapter 536: Her Hair Is So Seductive Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Inside the office, the lights were especially bright. Qiao Qiao sat on her desk. There was no one here. She was in a relatively relaxed and casual state. Her toes hooked into her high heels, and her slender calves swayed. The heels swayed up and down in the arc of her calves. She raised her hand to comb her hair. As a few buttons on her chest had been undone, this posture made her breasts look especially full and juicy. Shed felt a little breathless from the tight squeeze, but she felt better now. She couldnt help but think that if she wore this to work every day in the future, she would suffocate. See? Just thinking about it made her feel aggrieved. Halfway through combing her hair, she suddenly froze because she heard the door open. This meant that someone had entered. Dou Ying had just left, so she shouldnt be back so soon. The bodyguards were standing outside the door. Could it be that the bodyguards had come in to inform her? Qiao Qiao quickly tidied her clothes. But it was too late. The person was already in. When she saw that the person standing at the door was not a bodyguard but Shao Jingmo, she was petrified on the spot. Shao Jingmo! ! Why Shao Jingmo?! Compared to Qiao Qiaos petrified reaction on the spot, Shao Jingmo was not much better. He had never seen Qiao Qiao like this before. She was extremely sexy and seductive. Not to mention her entire body, even her hair was so alluring. Especially her messy shirt Seeing this scene, his Adams apple swallowed slightly, and his eyes darkened. In the end, he looked away with extreme restraint and reminded her in a low voice, Tidy your clothes. Hearing Shao Jingmos reminder, Qiao Qiao suddenly came back to her senses. She looked down at the shirt in front of her that had several buttons undone. It was to the extent that even the underwear and lace were exposed. She had accidentally been seen by Shao Jingmo, God damn it! She didnt want to live anymore!! Qiao Qiao blushed and quickly tidied the collar of her open shirt. Because she was flustered, her hands were trembling so much that she couldnt button them. There was a clang. One of the high heels on her foot left her toes and fell to the floor. Qiao Qiao was shocked. She stopped buttoning and scrambled off the desk to pick up the high heels. In the end, because she was too flustered, when she got down from the desk, her stockings caused her to slip and fall to the ground. Ah She yelped. The fall could be described as a mess. It was simply unbearable to look at. There was pain as well, pain from her limbs and bones. Especially her ankles, knees, and buttocks. She gritted her teeth in pain, her expression twisted. Other than the scream just now, she had to bite her lip to stop herself from making a sound. Before she could recover from the pain, she suddenly felt a wave of heat approaching. She turned to look in the direction of the heat and saw Shao Jingmo squatting in front of her. Where did you fall? Shao Jingmo asked her with a dark expression. Qiao Qiao bit her lip and didnt make a sound. She told herself not to be too embarrassed in front of Shao Jingmo, or she would be laughed at by him. However, when she heard Shao Jingmos concern, she suddenly felt especially aggrieved. When she spoke, her voice was already filled with a muffled sound. Knees. And, and, and Shao Jingmo asked, Where? Qiao Qiao was about to cry when she whispered, My ass. She sucked in her breath. It hurts a lot. Its fine. Dont move. Ill carry you up. With that, Shao Jingmo reached under her knees and supported her back with his other hand. He easily picked her up from the ground. Qiao Qiao obediently cooperated and wrapped her arms around Shao Jingmos neck. As he carried her up, the other high heels fell and the foot in her black stockings swayed. Without looking at Qiao Qiaos expression at this moment, the scene must have been very ambiguous and seductive. Shao Jingmo carried Qiao Qiao to the sofa and sat down. After Qiao Qiao sat down, she kept her legs tightly closed and her hands covered the hem of her thighs. It was all her fault that the skirt was too short. She would expose herself if she sat like this. Although Shao Jingmo was a gentleman and wouldnt look at much, she couldnt act like a hooligan just because he was a gentleman. However, while her knees and buttocks hurt, she still had to maintain a sitting posture with her legs together. Her posture was extremely awkward. Shao Jingmo placed his palm on her knee. Let me see. Qiao Qiao endured the pain and asked, Where? Shao Jingmo looked up. Where do you want me to look? Qiao Qiao bit her lip. Shao Jingmo quickly looked away and reminded her in a low voice, Button it first. Qiao Qiao then looked down at the front of her. The buttons of her shirt had yet to be completely buttoned. Although she was not as naked as when Shao Jingmo came in just now, she did not look like a good woman with such an open collar! No, which good woman would dress like her today! All that was missing was a price tag! Qiao Qiao clutched her chest and said in a crying voice, Little Uncle, Im sorry. I didnt mean to do this. Shao Jingmo frowned and restrained himself. Are you done? His gaze hadnt turned to her. Right away, right away, she answered as she buttoned all the buttons on her chest. Her chest was especially tight. She pulled her jacket over her chest. After buttoning, she checked the rest of her body and saw that there was nothing wrong. Then, she said, Little Uncle, Im done. Shao Jingmo turned around. The two of them looked at each other. Qiao Qiao was the first to look away, not daring to look at him. Shao Jingmos gaze landed on her knees and then on her ankles. She knew that he was looking at her. She was more nervous than embarrassed, and her toes unconsciously clenched. Originally, clenching her toes because of nervousness was a very normal physical reaction, but because there was a thin layer of stockings covering it, and it was black stockings, the scene changed. Shao Jingmos pupils darkened. It wasnt that men couldnt reject black stockings, but they couldnt reject the person they liked wearing black stockings. To Shao Jingmo, the scene in front of him was a silent temptation that constantly teased his self-control. He asked her in a low voice, Who told you to wear this? Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned and asked, Isnt this my next uniform? Uniform? Shao Jingmo narrowed his eyes. Who said that? Qiao Qiao told him the truth. Secretary Dou Shao Jingmo said, Ha. This sneer frightened Qiao Qiao. Was this anger directed at her or Secretary Dou? Could it be that this business attire was not her next work uniform and that Secretary Dou was deliberately embarrassing her? At the thought of this possibility, Qiao Qiao stood up angrily. She lied to me! The moment she stood up, she completely forgot that her knee still hurt. It wasnt until she stood up and finished shouting, She lied to me, that she grimaced and cried out in pain. Shao Jingmo stood up and supported her. Your legs are about to break, but you still have the energy to shout. Sit properly. Qiao Qiao said angrily, Im very angry to experience such a thing on my first day at the company! Little Uncle, you dont care about my feelings at all. There was a hint of complaint in her tone. Shao Jingmo said, l do. Ill scold her later.. Chapter 537 - Chapter 537: Take It Off Chapter 537: Take It Off Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao asked, How? Shao Jingmo asked her, How do you want me to scold her? Although I came in through connections, she didnt do anything to hurt me. She just made me wear a sexier business attire. Qiao Qiao knew very well in her heart. Little Uncle, you can scold her, but dont fire her. Ill pay attention to these things in the future and try to avoid them. Shao Jingmo looked at her serious expression and asked, Are you afraid that Ill fire her? Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes. It wont come to this easily, Shao Jingmo said. There has to be a good reason to dismiss the secretary of the board of directors. I dont have the right to fire her directly. Qiao Qiao nodded. Shao Jingmo reminded her, Youre not allowed to appear in the company in this outfit in the future. Qiao Qiao fully understood. So my work clothes arent of this style? Shao Jingmo asked, You seem to like this style? How is that possible! Qiao Qiao was afraid that Shao Jingmo would think that she liked it and let her wear it like this in the future. l dont want to wear it at all, but in front of Secretary Dou, I know that resistance is useless. Shao Jingmo said, You dont have work clothes. You just have to wear serious clothes. You have to get used to wearing serious clothes in the company. There it was again. This time, Qiao Qiao asked clearly, Why do you always have to correct my clothes? Because youre too young and your aura is too small. Your serious attire can add an aura to you and suppress those old fellows in Deep Blue, Shao Jingmo said to her. Qiao Qiao was surprised. Shao Jingmo actually asked her to suppress those old fellows in Deep Blue? But after the surprise, why did these words sound so funny? Qiao Qiao couldnt help but grin. Im not a Daoist priest. Those old guys arent demons. Why should I suppress them? As soon as she finished speaking, Shao Jingmos gaze on her deepened. Qiao Qiao couldnt stand Shao Jingmos gaze. After dodging a few times, she heard him say something You have to take charge one day. This time he sounded more serious than ever. But Qiao Qiao couldnt quite understand why he suddenly said this to her. After thinking about it carefully, she asked, Little Uncle, do you mean that after settling the matter with the Bai family, Ill leave Deep Blue and go back to support the Qiao family myself? Shao Jingmo said, Yes. Qiao Qiao had a very serious expression a second ago, but in the next second, she clicked her tongue in boredom and said in a nonchalant tone, The Qiao family only has Deep Blue Corporation to establish itself in Xingzhou. When the Deep Blue Corporation completely becomes yours, the Qiao family will be an extremely ordinary family. 1 dont have to support them. Ill just live a normal life. Shao Jingmo wanted to say something, but after looking at her for a moment, he did not say anything else. Qiao Qiao didnt take Shao Jingmos words to heart at all. Her mind was filled with what had just happened. No wonder Dou Ying was so imposing. As the secretary of the board of directors, no one except the old chairman seemed to be able to fire her easily. She had a pivotal position in the entire Deep Blue. She couldnt afford to offend her. At this moment, Shao Jingmo was staring at Qiao Qiaos knees. Although there were black stockings blocking it, the color on both sides of the knee was clearly different. He whispered, Take it off. Qiao Qiao was thinking about what had just happened when she heard Shao Jingmos words. Her eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief. Shao Jingmos thin lips moved as he repeated the word expressionlessly, Take it off. Take it off? Take it off? Why did Shao Jingmo ask her to take off her clothes? Didnt he ask her to button it up just now? Why did he ask her to take it off in the blink of an eye? Was this man tempted by her figure and couldnt help but want to do something to her? Ah, beast! She crossed her arms over her chest. No! Shao Jingmo didnt know how much fantasy Qiao Qiao had been thinking about in those few seconds. How can I look at your injuries if you dont take them off? Qiao Qiao stuttered. Look, look at the injury? Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. What else did you think? No, 1 didnt think anything. Qiao Qiao looked serious. Take-take-take off my stockings, right? Shao Jingmo replied, Yes. Qiao Qiao looked awkward. Then make yourself clear. Shao Jingmo propped his elbows on his knees and looked at her patiently. So you think I told you to take off your clothes just now? Then Ill do something to you? Qiao Qiao wanted to deny the dirty thoughts she had just had, but Shao Jingmo looked like he had seen through her. Denying could only comfort herself, so she nodded and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, Yes. Shao Jingmo smiled. Dont worry. Even if youre my legal wife, I wont do anything to you. With that, he stood and turned his back on her. Take it off. Okay, Qiao Qiao replied obediently. When she was chatting with Shao Jingmo just now, she did not feel any pain in her knees. It was probably because she had been distracted. Now that she was about to take off her stockings, her knees hurt. Qiao Qiao had already taken off half of her stockings to the bottom of her thighs. Shao Jingmo had his back facing her like a gentleman and didnt look at her. He was really a gentleman. Qiao Qiao suddenly had a bad idea. It was mainly because Shao Jingmo had always looked cold. She wanted to see a different expression on his face. Thinking of something, she raised her voice and deliberately shouted, Little Uncle, can you help me? Shao Jingmo did not turn around. He only asked, Help you with what? Qiao Qiao smirked. When she spoke, she tried to make her voice sound the same. Help me take off my stockings. With that, Shao Jingmos body stiffened visibly. Qiao Qiao caught the subtle change. She continued, l dont have the strength. My leg hurts. I cant lift it. Shao Jingmo glanced sideways at Qiao Qiao, who was asking him for help. It was clearly a trick that could be seen through at a glance. She probably didnt know that he wasnt a gentleman. It was just that he had restrained himself well and hid it well in front of her. If she had to tease him, then she couldnt blame him. After all, he was not a gentleman. Shao Jingmo slowly turned around and squatted down in front of her. Without saying anything, he reached out and grabbed her calf. His silent action frightened Qiao Qiao. She had only wanted to tease him. She didnt expect him to really turn around and help her take off her stockings. Qiao Qiao quickly retracted her leg, but Shao Jingmos wrist was too strong. She couldnt retract it at all. She immediately said, Little Uncle, I was just joking with you. Its not appropriate to joke about your injuries. I took it seriously. Shao Jingmo held her calf with one hand and helped her remove her stockings with the other. His movements were very natural, but in Qiao Qiaos opinion, it was another scene. She blushed and her heart raced as she tried to stop him again. Little Uncle, really, theres really no need. Im happy to help. His tone left no room for argument as he pulled her stockings down to her calves. The smooth and fair skin on her legs was in stark contrast to the black stockings. Qiao Qiaos heart was about to jump out of her throat. She swallowed hard to steady her heartbeat. She thought that she would be fine after Shao Jingmo took off her stockings, but Shao Jingmos hand suddenly stopped at the base of her leg. She called out softly, Li-Little Uncle? Shao Jingmo did not respond. His fingertips moved slightly on her fair calf.. Chapter 538 - Chapter 538: The Bai Family Came Looking For Her, First Trouble (1) Chapter 538: The Bai Family Came Looking For Her, First Trouble (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao tried to stop Shao Jingmo from continuing to help her undress, so she reached out and held Shao Jingmos hand. Little Uncle, I can do it myself. Didnt you say that your limbs are weak and you want me to help you? His voice was cold, and the hand holding her calf did not let go. Qiao Qiao panicked. I feel strong enough now. I can do it myself. Shao Jingmo looked expressionless as if he did not hear her. His fingertips lingered on her snow-white skin, caressing it neither gently nor heavily. He repeated it a few times, without pattern, but it was impossible to ignore. And there was no next move. Qiao Qiao bit her lip tightly. Her legs were itchy from Shao Jingmos touch, and he had not let go. Now, not only were her legs itchy, but her heart was also itchy. Fortunately, he still had some conscience and knew that her knee still hurt. He let go of her calf and slowly removed the stockings, setting them aside. Then he checked the bump on her knee for her. The atmosphere was silent the entire time. He didnt say a word, and Qiao Qiao didnt dare to say anything to break the silence and let him examine her. No broken skin, he said flatly. Taking advantage of this moment, Qiao Qiao quickly retracted her leg. It doesnt hurt as much as before. It should be fine. Dont move, he warned. Qiao Qiao paused in the act of retracting her leg, then obediently stopped moving. Shao Jingmo stood up and took out his phone to make a call. He instructed, Bring me an ice pack. When Qiao Qiao heard that Shao Jingmo had called someone to send an ice pack over, she knew without asking that it was for her. She quickly said, Little Uncle, this is too troublesome. Im really fine. I dont need an ice pack. Be quiet, he reminded her. Qiao Qiao was a little afraid and obediently shut her mouth. After Shao Jingmo finished giving his instructions, he hung up. Naturally, the wait wouldnt be short. Qiao Qiao hoped that the person who delivered the ice pack would run faster. She sat obediently and didnt dare to move. In any case, she felt all kinds of uncomfortable, but she didnt dare to show it too obviously. Dont be too restrained in front of me. Shao Jingmo could tell that she was uncomfortable. Just be yourself. I wont restrain you. At least not when its just the two of us. Qiao Qiao said awkwardly, Im not restrained. Shao Jingmo looked down at her. Your body is almost frozen like a stone statue. This is called unrestrained? Qiao Qiao choked. She moved her body slightly, but she was still not comfortable. She frowned slightly. She did not know that Shao Jingmo had seen this small change in her expression. He turned and walked away, giving her privacy. As soon as he left, Qiao Qiao immediately relaxed a lot. She didnt even dare to put away the stockings beside her just now. Taking advantage of Shao Jingmo!s departure, she quickly put away the stockings and stuffed them into her bag. She guessed that her and Shao Jingmos eight characters were incompatible. Fortunately, the two of them were only married in name. If they were really married, their eight characters would probably be in deep trouble. A few minutes later, Jingcheng knocked on the door and entered. He handed the ice bag he had specially found to Shao Jingmo. Third Master, heres what you wanted. Shao Jingmo was smoking. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray. He reached out to take the ice pack. Send lunch here at noon. For once, Jing Cheng was slow. Third Master, should I send your lunch here Shao Jingmo nodded and walked towards Qiao Qiao, who was sitting on the sofa with the ice pack. Jingcheng scratched the back of his head and watched Third Master walk towards Missy. He really couldnt figure out what was going through Third Masters mind. Third Master clearly liked Missy very much, but he wouldnt let Missy know, and Missy was afraid of Third Master. No matter how hard he tried, this relationship didnt seem to work. Now, Third Master had even arranged for Missy to enter the company. Although it seemed that she was starting from the bottom, he had directly shown Missy the account book. Could it be that Third Master was planning to nurture Missy to take over the entire Deep Blue Corporation in the future? However, this was unrealistic. With Missys qualifications and ability, she could not control the entire Deep Blue Corporation. Moreover, Third Master had worked so hard to control Deep Blue in his hands. It was unlikely that he would give it to Miss easily. As expected, Third Masters thoughts were not easy to guess at his age. Jingcheng did not dare to look at the sofa anymore and turned to walk out. On the sofa. Shao Jingmo approached Qiao Qiao with the ice pack. He squatted down and said, Its not broken. The swelling will subside after applying it. It wont hurt that much. Qiao Qiao reached out her hand. Ill do it myself.. Chapter 539 - Chapter 539: The Bai Family Came Looking For Her, First Trouble (2) Chapter 539: The Bai Family Came Looking For Her, First Trouble (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo glanced at her. This glance made Qiao Qiao think that she didnt know what was good for her. After all, he was the President of Deep Blue Corporation and a famous figure in Xingzhou. He had lowered himself to help her treat her leg, but she still shyly refused. Actually, it was just that she had too many inner dramas. Shao Jingmo only asked, Can you do it yourself? Qiao Qiao was stunned for two or three seconds, then she quickly nodded. Sure. Shao Jingmo did not say anything else and handed the ice pack to her. Qiao Qiao took it with trembling hands, afraid that Shao Jingmo would go back on his word. After taking it, she immediately applied it to her knee and even smiled foolishly at him. Shao Jingmo didnt leave. Instead, he sat down beside Qiao Qiao. He didnt sit very close to her and maintained his usual distance. While she was applying pressure on her knees, he asked her, Qiao Qiao, lets talk. Qiao Qiao turned her head. About what? Shao Jingmo did not look at her. Lets talk about what happens next. Qiao Qiao didnt ask what it was. She knew that Shao Jingmo would speak next. We dont have any feelings. Marriage is a formality. You need me to help you deal with the Bai family. My willingness to agree is to repay Grandpa for raising me. It doesnt conflict with each other, he said slowly. These words were very ordinary. But it was something Qiao Qiao had never heard of. Moreover, she had never chatted openly with Shao Jingmo before. This was the first time. Qiao Qiao almost couldnt keep up. Her mind was slow for a few seconds before she caught up. She didnt even call him Little Uncle anymore and called him by his full name. Shao Jingmo, dont tell me youre changing your mind now? Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways. Changed my mind? The ice pack in Qiao Qiaos hand scattered. She hugged Shao Jingmos arm with both hands and said nervously, You cant change your mind midway. If you dont protect me, something will happen to me. Shao Jingmo did not say anything and just looked at her quietly. The quieter the atmosphere, the more panicked Qiao Qiao became. She was really afraid that Shao Jingmo would really change his mind. The Bai familys power was gradually rising. She could not resist the Bai familys power alone. She would only be captured by the Bai family to fulfill her promise. At the thought of her fate, Qiao Qiao was on the brink of tears. She lowered her posture. Ill listen to you. If I say anything to make you uncomfortable, Ill apologize. Ill do whatever you say in the future. I wont disobey you. I just hope you wont change your mind. I dont want to marry that old man from the Bai family. Shao Jingmo tugged at the corners of his lips. Im many years older than you. Am I not an old man in your eyes? Youre not, Qiao Qiao said firmly. Shao Jingmo asked her, Are you trying to please me? Im not trying to please you. Qiao Qiao shook her head. How can the Bai family compare to you? Theres a great difference. Shao Jingmo said, Although youre only saying this to please me, Im still happy. Qiao Qiao whispered, Im not trying to please you. Im just telling the truth. Ive never seen anyone better than you. Even if she was sincere and did not say that to please him, Shao Jingmo did not think so. He would only think that she was trying to please him because she would not praise him for any other reason. Shao Jingmo leaned back and said indifferently, Ill still say the same thing. Theres no need to please me in the future. Its meaningless. Do whatever you want. If you pierce through the sky, Ill patch it up. If you lose in an argument, Ill back you up. Its a very simple matter. After a pause, Shao Jingmo added, Also, I wont change my mind easily. At least not until I take down the Bai family. This last sentence was to reassure Qiao Qiao. He promised that before taking down the Bai family, he would not change his mind easily and make her lose her protection. Qiao Qiao was frightened. After hearing Shao Jingmos words, she heaved a sigh of relief. Dont scare me like this next time. Im not scaring you, youre scaring yourself, he said. He bent to pick up the ice pack from the floor and turned onto his side to apply it to her reddened knee. This time, Qiao Qiao didnt insist on doing it herself. She just watched him apply it for her. As she watched, she couldnt help but say, Little Uncle, youre still quite good to me. Shao Jingmo pursed his lips. Is that so? Thats right. Dont always not believe me. Im serious with you a lot of the time. For example, just now, when I said that I had never seen anyone better than you, I meant it. But you didnt believe me. Shao Jingmo said indifferently, l believe you.. Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: The Bai Family Came Looking For Her, First Trouble (3) Chapter 540: The Bai Family Came Looking For Her, First Trouble (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao snorted. Its just perfunctory. With that, she reached out and took Shao Jingmos hand. She pressed down on the ice pack on her knee and said to Shao Jingmo, I wont lie to you in the future. Shao Jingmo was silent for a moment before taking out a cigarette box. It was obvious that he wanted to smoke again, but because he was beside her, he did not take out a lighter to light it. He played with the cigarette box in his hand quietly, looking distracted. In Qiao Qiaos opinion, this reaction was clearly not taking her words seriously. She felt a little defeated and discouraged. She could only continue the topic he had just asked. Little Uncle, you said that you wanted to talk about what happened next. Is that what you just said? Is there anything else? Shao Jingmo paused for a moment as he played with the cigarette box. He looked up slightly. Whats next Unknowingly, Qiao Qiaos upper body had moved much closer to Shao Jingmo. Didnt you say that we should talk about what happened next? Shao Jingmo took out a cigarette and pinched his fingertips. Nothing else. Leaving those words behind, he rose. Qiao Qiao didnt have to guess to know that he must have gone to smoke. In her impression, Shao Jingmo!s smoking addiction wasnt big. He didnt smoke every day. At some point, he would suddenly smoke two or three cigarettes in a row. He often smelled faintly of tobacco, too. It wasnt exactly unpleasant, because it was faint. Thinking about how Father Qiao had quit smoking because of Mother Qiaos words, Qiao Qiao thought of something and grabbed Shao Jingmos hand. At this moment, he was about to leave when she suddenly pulled him back. He was a little surprised. He looked down at her. Qiao Qiao said, Dont smoke so much. She was about to say, Dont smoke, but after thinking about it, it made it seem like she was meddling too much, so she turned it into a concern and told him to smoke less. Shao Jingmo looked at her for a few seconds and said, Im not smoking. Im getting you some water. Qiao Qiao immediately let go. Thank you, Little Uncle. Without a word, he put away his cigarette and really went over to get her some water. She didnt know if hed listened to her or if hed really just gone to get her water and shed mistaken him for smoking. Either way, she was quite happy. At noon, Jingcheng came in to deliver lunch on time. Qiao Qiao was not surprised that Shao Jingmo was also here to eat with her. The atmosphere of the two of them dining together was quite harmonious. Neither of them disturbed the other. Qiao Qiao quite liked this atmosphere. Both of them had their own sense of boundaries. 5:30 P.M. Today was Qiao Qiaos first day here. She didnt have any work arrangements and spent almost the entire afternoon watching television in the office to pass the time. No one cared about her, so she was extremely comfortable. Shao Jingmo came down from the office and waited for her to leave the company together. Qiao Qiao was afraid that if she got too close to Shao Jingmo and left in his car, she would be seen by the other employees of the company and expose their relationship. It was fine if it happened in the morning, but it was better to avoid it after work. Hence, she said to Shao Jingmo, Go ahead. Ill come back myself. If youre worried, you can get your bodyguards to follow me. Shao Jingmo said, No. Qiao Qiao knew he would say this. You still keep saying that 1 should be myself and not be restrained in front of you. How can I be myself if such a small request doesnt satisfy me? Shao Jingmo looked at her quietly. His gaze wasnt cold, so Qiao Qiao wasnt afraid. She explained, 1 just dont want the other employees in the company to see me get into your car and spread all kinds of rumors about my relationship with you. Shao Jingmo called Jingcheng over. Follow her. Jing Cheng nodded. Okay, Third Master. Shao Jingmo didnt say anything else. After instructing Jingcheng, he turned around and left. Initially, Qiao Qiao should be happy that Shao Jingmo agreed so readily, but she couldnt be happy because she knew that Shao Jingmo was angry again. Was this man a petty person? He was always angry with her. She waited for Shao Jingmo to leave for a few minutes before leaving the company. Along the way, Jingcheng followed her out. She couldnt help but ask Jingcheng, Does your boss often get angry? Jing Cheng answered truthfully, No, but around you, Miss, its common to be angry. Qiao Qiaos lips twitched. Jingcheng was probably a chatterbox. He answered without asking, Now, as long as Third Master is angry, it should be related to you, Miss. Therefore, please dont often make Third Master angry. Qiao Qiao didnt feel that the bodyguard had overstepped his bounds. She even half believed his words. l can easily affect his emotions Alright, Ill try to be more careful in the future. She went to the garage with Jingcheng. There was a spare car Shao Jingmo had left at the company. Jingcheng had just opened the car door for Qiao Qiao when a car suddenly sped over from afar. Qiao Qiao didnt think much of it at first. Her sharp senses didnt think that the car was coming for her. Instead, Jingchengs sharp reaction was to pull Qiao Qiao behind him immediately to stop her from getting into the car. Qiao Qiao was shocked and still in shock. Whats wrong? Before she could see what was going on with the car, she heard Jingcheng say, Miss, were in trouble.. Chapter 541 - Chapter 541: He Personally Punish The Person Who Bullied Her (1) Chapter 541: He Personally Punish The Person Who Bullied Her (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Miss, were in trouble. Hearing Jingchengs words, Qiao Qiao was shocked. You know them? Jingcheng turned around and glanced at Qiao Qiao. Although this glance didnt express anything, Qiao Qiao already understood what it meant. The Bai family It was the Bai familys car! Qiao Qiaos fear of the Bai family had almost been engraved into her bones in a short period of time, because the Bai family had been eyeing her covetously. Even though the agreed deadline had yet to arrive, the Bai family had already reminded her grandfather time and time again to keep their promise. And that agreed time was on Qiao Qiaos twenty-fourth birthday. There were still two months until this day. Screech! The Bai familys car stopped three meters away from Qiao Qiao and Jingcheng. The car door opened and two tall men got out. These two men looked fierce and it was obvious that they were not good people. They should be thugs brought by the Bai family. And the real Bai family was still in the car. M/hat, what, what should we do Qiao Qiao was scared out of her wits and instinctively grabbed Jingchengs arm for protection. Jingcheng protected Qiao Qiao behind him. Ive already sent Third Master an urgent message, Miss, dont be afraid. Lets wait and see. The Bai family wont snatch you in the street. These words were undoubtedly a calming shot for Qiao Qiao. As long as Shao Jingmo came, she would be fine. The reason why she trusted Shao Jingmo so much and firmly believed that he would rush over to save her after knowing that she was stopped by the Bai family was because of what he had promised her today. He had said that he would not change his mind easily. He had said that he would protect her well. He had said that he would at least ensure that she was safe and sound before taking down the Bai family. Qiao Qiao felt much more at ease. Youre right. Nothing will happen. Little Uncle will be here soon. As soon as she finished speaking, the person in the car opposite got out. The man did not look young. He was about forty years old. He was wearing a white suit and a burgundy tie. He had a refined smile and a few thin creases at the corners of his eyes. Qiao Qiao. The man knew her and said her name directly. Qiao Qiao looked at the smile on the mans face and couldnt help but feel apprehensive. She asked boldly, Who-who are you? The smile on Bai Qingnans face was even wider than before. He didnt stop walking towards Qiao Qiao. As he walked, he said, My surname is Bai. Even though she had already guessed that the other party was from the Bai family, Qiao Qiao still couldnt help but tremble when she heard him say that his surname was Bai. She held her breath. Sorry, I dont know any Bai family. As soon as she finished speaking, Jingcheng, who was blocking Qiao Qiao, scolded him sternly, Stand there! Bai Qingnan paused. Seeing this, the two thugs behind him pretended to go forward and teach Jingcheng a lesson. Bai Qingnan raised his hand. When the two thugs saw Bai Qingnans gesture, they stood on the spot and waited. Bai Qingnan looked at Qiao Qiao with an invasive gaze. You dont know me? As he spoke, Bai Qingnan seemed to have suddenly thought of something. His fingertips pressed against his eyebrows and he smiled. Its fine if you dont know me. Then Ill remind you that our Bai family and the Qiao family have a deep relationship, especially a few years before you were born. My father and your grandfather, Qiao Huasheng, have been brothers for a long time, At this point, the smile on Bai Qingnans lips faded a little. Have you heard of the bet between my father and your grandfather, Qiao Huasheng? If you havent, how about I tell you now? Qiao Qiaos face was cold. What brotherhood? What bet? I dont know and I dont want to know. Im not the head of the Qiao family now. If you want to understand these things, I suggest you go to the head of the Qiao family. Bai Qingnan chuckled. Do you want me to look for Qiao Huasheng, or Shao Jingmo? Who in the outside world did not know that Old Master Qiao was terminally ill and Shao Jingmo had monopolized the entire Deep Blue Corporation? The news that the Qiao familys surname would change soon had long spread in the outside world. Some people also said that Old Master Qiao did not die because he wanted his granddaughter to inherit the Deep Blue Corporation and take back everything from Shao Jingmo. There were already many versions of the rumors outside. But no version was convincing. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was silent, Bai Qingnans smile became even more wanton. Why dont we look for Shao Jingmo? Do you think an outsider like him will care about you? Qiao Qiaos breath caught. She didnt say anything because she was afraid of saying the wrong thing.. Chapter 542 - Chapter 542: He Personally Punish The Person Who Bullied Her (2) Chapter 542: He Personally Punish The Person Who Bullied Her (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations But the other party was undoubtedly provoking her. She was usually not a calm person, but Shao Jingmo was not here yet. She did not dare to act rashly, so she could only speak carefully. Hes my Little Uncle. How can he not care about me? Little Uncle? Isnt his surname Shao? Bai Qingnan reminded her. Qiao Qiao said angrily, What does that have to do with you?! Her furious rebuttal did not anger Bai Qingnan. Instead, it filled his face Vith a smile. It was a very kind face, but behind that face was extreme hypocrisy. Right on the heels of that, Qiao Qiao saw the smile on the other partys face and took a few steps back. She almost naively thought that the other party was stunned by her angry aura just now. Unexpectedly, it was an occasion to attack. Jingcheng narrowed his eyes and reminded Qiao Qiao behind him in a low voice, Miss, be careful. Qiao Qiao heard the nervousness in Jingchengs tone and asked worriedly, Will Little Uncle come? Jingcheng replied with certainty, Yes. This answer didnt completely reassure Qiao Qiao. Without seeing Shao Jingmo for a second, she wasnt 100% sure that Shao Jingmo would really come back to save her. The Bai family looked like they were going to snatch her in the street. The Bai familys reputation was bad, so there was nothing they wouldnt do. If they really fought later, Jingcheng would definitely not be a match for the Bai family alone. Qiao Qiao became even more worried. Hiding behind Jingcheng, she muttered to herself, If he doesnt come, if he doesnt come Miss, hide well! Before she could finish, Jingcheng suddenly pushed her behind the car. When she raised her eyes, her vision was in chaos. Jingcheng fought the two thugs alone. Originally, Qiao Qiao was very worried that Jingcheng would be at a disadvantage in a one-on-two battle. However, she didnt expect Jingcheng to have some skills at all. It wasnt too difficult for him to deal with the two thugs, but he was also distracted and couldnt easily escape. Qiao Qiao hid behind the car nervously, praying that Shao Jingmo would come soon. However, she knew very well that it had only been ten minutes since Jingcheng sent an urgent message to Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo would not rush over so quickly. Tsk. A sudden tsk behind her ear shocked Qiao Qiao. When she turned around, she saw that Bai Qingnan had arrived behind her and was so close. She knew something was wrong and turned to escape. Bai Qingnan grabbed her wrist forcefully and pulled her back to press her against the back wall of the car. He said with a faint smile, Twenty-four years old. The little girl has matured. Shes delicious. Qiao Qiaos face was pale. Although she couldnt struggle, she forced herself to calm down and not show any fear. She warned, Dont you dare touch me! Hahaha. Bai Qingnan laughed out loud. He smiled, and the creases at the corners of his eyes deepened a little. His face was not handsome, but it had the charm of a middle-aged man. Even if I touch you, what can you do? You belong to our Bai family, understand? Qiao Qiao was furious. I belong to myself. I dont belong to anyone. As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Qiao felt pain in her arm, and it was getting more and more painful. The pain came from her arm. She wanted to look down at her arm, but Bai Qingnan grabbed her neck and forced her chin up. He said with a faint smile, Did you know that your grandfather sold you to our Bai family? When you turn 24 years old, you will be a member of our Bai family and a plaything of our Bai family. Qiao Qiao spat. In your dreams. Bai Qingnan hadnt used much strength when he grabbed Qiao Qiaos neck. Seeing Qiao Qiaos disdainful expression, he pinched the sides of her cheeks with his fingers and exerted a little strength. Qiao Qiao winced. Bai Qingnan did not let go. Instead, he exerted more strength. Qiao Qiao wanted to struggle, but the strength of Bai Qingnans single hand restrained her tightly. Her little strength was almost useless in front of Bai Qingnan, and it would only anger him more. Stop fussing. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and a trace of impatience appeared in his eyes. You should belong to the Bai family when youre eighteen years old, but your grandfather still has some conscience. The agreement insists that you turn twenty-four years old. Old thing, he really knows how to scheme. Qiao Qiaos cheeks were pinched by Bai Qingnan, and she couldnt speak. She could only glare at him angrily. However, she did not know that the more she was like this, the more Bai Qingnan liked her. It was boring if it was too docile. The Bai family loved to tame it personally.. Chapter 543 - Chapter 543: He Personally Punish The Person Who Bullied Her (3) Chapter 543: He Personally Punish The Person Who Bullied Her (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He suddenly approached Qiao Qiao. In Qiao Qiaos opinion, he thought that he was going to take advantage of her forcefully. She didnt expect the Bai family to be so shameless. They dared to stop her before the deadline. She was afraid that she would really suffer, so she fought back. Dont struggle pointlessly. Its useless, Bai Qingnan teased, with a double meaning. Qiao Qiao couldnt break free, so she simply grabbed his hand and bit it hard. This time, she bit his hand hard enough. Bai Qingnans expression changed and he immediately let go of Qiao Qiao. Now that she was free, Qiao Qiao turned and was about to run. Bai Qingnan pulled Qiao Qiao back with a dark expression. He threw her hard against the wall of the car, and Qiao Qiaos body hit the wall hard. The pain began to spread from her back, and every piece of flesh on her back hurt so much that her face twisted. She lost her support and slid down. Bai Qingnan squatted down and grabbed her chin, forcing her to raise her head. If you werent so beautiful, one of your internal organs would definitely have been damaged. Qiao Qiao panted heavily. Her face was pale, and her hair was disheveled. Ill make you pay. Bai Qingnan smiled. Im looking forward to it too. Im looking forward to seeing how you, a young lady who cant even protect your family business and was sold, will make me pay the price. Qiao Qiaos despair spread from her head to her feet. Jingcheng was pressed to the ground by the two thugs and couldnt stretch. There was no way to save her. At the thought of Shao Jingmo, she suddenly coughed violently. Bai Qingnan retracted his hand and looked at Qiao Qiao, who was coughing violently. He frowned. Oh, Im sorry. I used a little too much strength just now. But dont worry. When you get to the Bai family, well treat you well. As soon as she finished speaking, there was a bang. Qiao Qiao didnt even see the scene in front of her clearly. By the time she came back to her senses, Bai Qingnans body had been kicked to the ground. Right on the heels of that was Bai Qingnans painful wail. Qiao Qiao blinked, thinking that she had seen it wrongly. One second, he was squatting in front of her and threatening her, and the next, he was kicked away. While she was lost, a familiar figure appeared in front of her. The Bai family doesnt have much ability, but theyre quite arrogant. If this continues, the Bai family will be finished sooner or later. Shao Jingmo walked over and dusted off his jacket. He stood in front of Bai Qingnan with one hand in his pocket. At this moment, Bai Qingnan was completely stunned. He did not even see the figure that suddenly appeared clearly just now before he was kicked flying and fell heavily to the ground. When he barely came back to his senses, he looked up and saw the man standing in front of him! Shao Shao Jingmo? Bai Qingnan looked incredulous. Arent you Shao Jingmo asked, Arent I being held back by the Bai family? As he spoke, Shao Jingmo took half a step forward and stepped on Bai Qingnans waist. His shiny leather shoes shone coldly under the garage lights. He leaned over elegantly, his eyes cold and his low voice filled with obvious killing intent. Can you stop me with the fancy moves of those people from the Bai family? With every word, Shao Jingmo exerts more force. Bai Qingnans face twisted in pain as he shouted at the two thugs, Men! Pull him away. Shao Jingmo turned around and pointed at the two thugs who were also being stepped on the ground not far away. They? Bai Qingnan: At this moment, Bai Qingnan finally reacted. After Shao Jingmo kicked him down, his two thugs had also been subdued by the people Shao Jingmo had brought. Now, he had become Shao Jingmos fish on the chopping block. His mind raced as he tried to figure out how to negotiate. However, Shao Jingmo did not give him a chance to negotiate. Ah Bai Qingnans scream echoed throughout the garage. Shao Jingmo kicked Bai Qingnans chin ruthlessly. A tooth fell from Bai Qingnans mouth, and the blood that flowed out stained his white suit. Bai Qingnans face was numb at first, but the pain three seconds later made him scream. Then, he covered his face and wailed. Shao Jingmos expression was fierce as he kicked him again. Bai Qingnans mouth was filled with blood as he begged for mercy. He suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Qiao Qiao, who was still sitting on the ground. His gaze frightened Qiao Qiao because she had never seen such a ruthless side of Shao Jingmo. She shivered in fear. Shao Jingmos eyes darkened and he walked towards Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao was afraid. Her lips and teeth were trembling, and her face was pale. She looked pitiful. Shao Jingmo pulled off his tie. Qiao Qiao didnt know what he was going to do at first. Was this because she had seen his violent side and wanted to strangle her? Suddenly, everything went black. It was Shao Jingmo who covered her eyes with his tie. Qiao Qiao was at a loss. Because she couldnt see, she subconsciously raised her hand to take off the tie that blocked her vision. Shao Jingmo held her hand and said in a much gentler voice than before, Dont move. She obeyed, not daring to move again. Shao Jingmo turned to look at Jingcheng, who was rubbing his arm not far away. Come over and cover her ears. Jingcheng immediately agreed. Understood. Soon, Qiao Qiaos ears were covered by Jingcheng. His grip was not strong, and she could vaguely hear some wailing. Was was Shao Jingmo doing it personally? Chapter 544 - Chapter 544: Everything He Did Moved Her Faintly Chapter 544: Everything He Did Moved Her Faintly Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiaos vision was dark. She couldnt see anything. The wails became extremely weak in her ears. She didnt know what Shao Jingmo had done to the Bai family, but she knew that that person must be in a terrible state. This was because she had just seen Shao Jingmos ruthless kick. Blood splattered from the Bai family members mouth After an unknown period of time, the faint voices faded, and there was dead silence in her sensory world. Vaguely, she thought she heard someone call out to her. She couldnt tell who the voice came from until Jingcheng removed his hand from her ear. Finally, she heard his voice clearly Guigui. Its all right. Lets go home. She was carefully picked up after that. She didnt suddenly hang in the air. Every move he made took care of her. She also subconsciously grabbed the arm that was hugging him. The material her fingertips touched was very familiar. She had touched it no less than seven or eight times today. She knew that it was Shao Jingmo. She grabbed his neck tightly. Although it was pitch-black and she could not see anything, she felt exceptionally at ease when she smelled the faint fragrance of cedar on his body. Shao Jingmo? After confirming that it was him, she still called his name uneasily, wanting to confirm it again before she felt at ease. Shao Jingmo carried her to the car opposite. Every step he took was heavy and steady. When he heard her uneasy trembling, he slowly tightened his grip on her back and replied in a low voice, Its me. Qiao Qiao was relieved to hear his voice. She buried her head in Shao Jingmos arms and said in a low voice, 1 thought you werent coming. Shao Jingmo replied, Have you forgotten what I said? l havent forgotten. Im just afraid, but I wont be afraid in the future, because you did what you said and didnt leave me behind. With that, Qiao Qiao couldnt help but rub her face into his arms. She was very insecure now. She could only feel at ease when she kept snuggling into Shao Jingmos arms, especially when she heard his steady heartbeat. She was really scared at first. She was afraid that Shao Jingmo would not save her and let her be taken away by the Bai family. He did not care about her life at all. Therefore, she could only hope. Fortunately, she was not deceived. Shao Jingmo rushed over in time and snatched her back from the Bai family. In the blink of an eye, Qiao Qiao was carried back to the car by Shao Jingmo. After Shao Jingmo put Qiao Qiao down, he was about to close the car door and get in from the other side. Before he could step back and close the car door, a small hand reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt accurately. Shao Jingmo looked at the uneasy little hand. Her hand hand trembled slightly. Her fingertips were greenish-white from the force, and the green veins on her wrist were clearly visible. Qiao Qiao didnt say anything, but her action already expressed her panic after the shock. Shao Jingmo placed his palm on her trembling hand and leaned over. Im not leaving. Im getting into the car from the other side. Qiao Qiao raised her pitiful little face. If she took off her tie, he would definitely see those wet almond m shaped eyes. With a thought, Shao Jingmo tidied his slightly messy jacket and reached out to take off the tie on her eyes. Seeing the light again, she blinked hard, and tears instantly fell from her eyes. There was a faint red mark at the corner of her eyes, making her look very pitiful. She cried. Qiao Qiao gripped the hem of Shao Jingmos shirt tightly with one hand and raised the other to wipe her tears. She looked at Shao Jingmo without saying a word, looking pitiful and aggrieved. Shao Jingmo looked at it for a moment and said, Sit a little inside. When Qiao Qiao heard this, her eyebrows relaxed. She immediately moved into her seat to make a very spacious space for Shao Jingmo. Then, she pointed, her expression seeming to say silently: Done. Shao Jingmo leaned over and sat in. Drive, he said. There were only Shao Jingmo, Qiao Qiao, and the chauffeur in this car. Jingcheng and the other bodyguards Shao Jingmo had brought were all in the other car. On the way back to the Qiao residence, Qiao Qiao stuck to Shao Jingmo like this for the first time in her life, especially in contrast to this mornings trip. In the morning, Qiao Qiao sat close to the car window, wishing she could distance herself from Shao Jingmo. And now, she had been hugging Shao Jingmos arm tightly and leaning her head against him. She did not speak along the way. The car arrived at the Qiao residence. After driving through the gate, they stopped outside the courtyard. The automatic car door slowly opened. Shao Jingmo glanced sideways at the person beside him and reminded her softly, Were here. Qiao Qiaos lowered eyelashes fluttered a few times, then she slowly raised her eyes and looked out. That was the Qiao familys villa. She was home, but she didnt want to get out of the car at all. She just wanted to stay here as if she was escaping. The sense of security she had sought from Shao Jingmo made her rely on him. She only wanted to hug him with the excuse that she was frightened and needed comfort. Even if Shao Jingmo might be impatient, she was prepared to accept his impatience. But what she thought didnt happen. Shao Jingmo was not impatient. He sat quietly with her for as long as she carried him like this. This car had been parked outside the courtyard for at least half an hour. Until she felt bad and called in a soft voice: Little Uncle. Shao Jingmo replied, Yes. Qiao Qiao looked up. Arent you angry? Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Angry? Qiao Qiao lowered her head again and said in a low voice, l shouldnt have said that I wanted to keep a distance from you and leave the company alone. I shouldnt have pestered you to sit here with me and not get out of the car. Im so unreasonable and always do things that give you a headache. Arent you angry with me? Shao Jingmo did not answer. Instead, he asked her, Are you afraid? At this moment, Qiao Qiao didnt dare to act tough. She was afraid, so she nodded obediently. He reached over and lifted her chin with his fingertips. Dont be afraid. The Bai family wont do anything to you for the time being. Before the deadline of the promise, the Bai family wont dare or act rashly. Qiao Qiao pouted and said in a muffled voice, There are still two months. Am I going to be constantly threatened by them? Shao Jingmo replied firmly, No. Then, he continued, Now, they only dare to probe. However, Ive already given them the results of this probe. The reason why the Bai family appeared in front of Qiao Qiao at this time was not only to remind Qiao Qiao of Qiao Huashengs promise to the head of the Bai family back then, but also because Qiao Qiao had entered the Deep Blue Corporation. Shao Jingmo would not eliminate all the spies the Bai family had planted in the Deep Blue Corporation. Since the Bai family wanted to control the Qiao family immediately, he would do as they wished. Now that the Bai family knew that Qiao Qiao had entered the Deep Blue Corporation, they were not sure what Shao Jingmos plans were. They would definitely lose their cool and immediately send someone over to investigate the situation. In the end, he did not manage to find out about the situation and was beaten up by Shao Jingmo. The news that Shao Jingmo had personally helped Qiao Qiao quickly reached the ears of the Bai family. As for how they would guess, it was the Bai familys business. It had nothing to do with Shao Jingmo or Qiao Qiao. After comforting Qiao Qiao, Shao Jingmo got out of the car and stood outside the car door. He reached out to her. Come here. Qiao Qiao looked at him quietly, uncontrollably sinking into his gentleness at this moment. Seeing that she did not reach out for a long time, Shao Jingmo said gently, Im not angry.. Can you come down now? Chapter 545 - Chapter 545: Taking the Initiative to Approach, The Jealousy Was Obvious (1) Chapter 545: Taking the Initiative to Approach, The Jealousy Was Obvious (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao didnt get out of the car for a long time was not because she was afraid of Shao Jingmo getting angry. She was just a little confused and had not completely adjusted her state of mind. At this moment, Shao Jingmo took the initiative to coax her out of the car. His expression was still so gentle. Unknowingly, Qiao Qiao felt a little guilty. Little Uncle, actually, you dont have to worry about me. Go in first. Shao Jingmo looked down at her. Dont worry about you? Qiao Qiao nodded. l always get you into trouble. Theres no trouble in my eyes. If I were your Little Uncle, I wouldnt have to care, but I have an even more important identity. This identity has to care about you, he said. Qiao Qiaos reaction was slow for a moment. What? Shao Jingmo enunciated every word. Your husband. Qiao Qiao was stunned. If Shao Jingmo havent mentioned it, she would not have realized that they were legally married. She was his wife in name and and a name on the certificate. A moment later, Shao Jingmo leaned over and asked before hugging her, Do you want a hug? Qiao Qiao was stunned again. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she looked surprised and confused. Such an expression was especially vivid in Shao Jingmos eyes. He couldnt help but want to kiss her. His Adams apple bobbed as he restrained the thought. He just looked down at her, waiting for her answer. Qiao Qiaos lips parted. In a very soft voice, she asked, Hug hug? Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Yes. Qiao Qiao couldnt speak for a moment. To be precise, she had forgotten how to reply to him. Those words kept appearing in her mind: Hug? Do you want a hug? Moreover, it was said by Shao Jingmo! Ever since she could remember, she had never heard Shao Jingmo say such gentle words. Not only did he say them to her, but he was also so gentle. At this thought, Qiao Qiao couldnt help but smile. Every frame of her silent laughter was vivid. Compared to the scare in the garage not long ago, this should be the original her. Seeing her purse her lips and smile, Shao Jingmo asked, You havent thought about it? Qiao Qiao looked up at Shao Jingmo. I.. Shao Jingmo said, You dont have to answer. Tell me with your actions. Qiao Qiao bit the corner of her lip and reached out to him. Shao Jingmo couldnt have misunderstood. It didnt mean that she wanted to hug him. It meant that she wanted to hold his hand. He smiled and withdrew to stand up straight. He reached out to her again. Come. Qiao Qiao looked at the broad palm in front of her and placed her hand on his heart without hesitation. She used the momentum to get out of the car slowly. Her legs were a little weak, probably because she was frightened by Bai Qingnan from the beginning and then by Shao Jingmos personal action. After that, her feet never touched the ground. When she got out of the car, her legs went weak and she fell into Shao Jingmos arms. Instinctively, she hugged him. He immediately held her lower back and comforted her. Im here. Qiao Qiao stood up straight with Shao Jingmos help. Im fine. Shao Jingmo held her hand tightly and led her. Lets go. Theyre waiting for us to eat dinner. Qiao Qiao said in a negotiating tone, Can you hide what happened today for me? Dont tell my parents, especially Grandpa. Her voice became much softer as she continued, You know Grandpas health. He cant be anxious or frightened. He already feels guilty and blames himself for what happened to the Bai family. If he finds out that the Bai family looked for me on the first day I entered the company She didnt finish the sentence, but Shao Jingmo knew. He agreed to her request. l know. I wont mention it. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Thank you. Shao Jingmo did not reply to her thanks. He held her hand and walked in. In the dining room. There was no need to deliberately divide the round table into master seats. Old Master Qiao had been eating in the recuperating bedroom previously. Recently, his physical and mental state had improved a lot, so he had been eating with everyone in the dining room. The food was on the table when Shao Jingmo was on the way home. At this moment, Old Master Qiao, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao were already sitting at the dining table, waiting for Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo to return. Father Qiao had just heard from the servant that the car had returned. Seeing that no one had come in, he asked the servant to rush them. Go and see whats going on. If we wait any longer, the dishes will turn cold. Mother Qiao took a sip of warm water. Whats the hurry? Theyll be in soon. Father Qiao said, Youve said this more than four times..! Chapter 546 - Chapter 546: Taking the Initiative to Approach, The Jealousy Was Obvious (2) Chapter 546: Taking the Initiative to Approach, The Jealousy Was Obvious (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mother Qiao turned her head. Its because youre waiting anxiously. Father Qiao fell silent. Hahahaha. Old Master Qiaos laughter was very deep. Ruzhang, I think youre just worried that shell be bullied on the first day she goes to the company. You dont even see her anywhere. Youre afraid that something happened to the company at the last minute. Father Qiao coughed lightly, looking a little uncomfortable. You can tell. Old Master Qiao laughed a few more times and said, You dont have to worry. Although that girl often doesnt behave properly, shes the most concerned about serious matters. In addition, Jingmo is still in charge of the company. No matter how strict Jingmo is, he wont cause trouble for her on the first day she entered the company. Father Qiao nodded and agreed with Old Master Qiao. Thats true. Just as he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo appeared in the dining room. Grandpa, Mom and Dad, were back. Qiao Qiaos voice came. When Old Master Qiao, Father Qiao, and Mother Qiao heard Qiao Qiaos voice, they turned around at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice. Qiao Qiao held Shao Jingmos arm and the two of them walked in together. This time, not only were their peers holding hands, but their hands were also linked. Qiaos beautiful face was filled with a blissful smile, and Shao Jingmos eyes were also very gentle. They did look like a married couple. Such a scene was actually very common in the Qiao family, especially in front of Old Master Qiao. Qiao Qiao would usually cooperate with Shao Jingmo and act like a loving couple for Old Master Qiao to see. This was because Old Master Qiao would only be happy if Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo got along well. When he was happy, his health would also improve a lot. Qiao Qiao also didnt want her grandfather to worry that she would suffer if she married Shao Jingmo, so every time she was in front of him, she would try her best to act like she was very loving with Shao Jingmo. But today, that smile looked really blissful. They were even holding hands. That was something that had never happened before in normal times. The two of you are finally in. Sit down. Dinner is about to start, Father Qiao said. Mother Qiaos gaze swept past the scene of her daughter and son-in-law holding hands. She smiled and said, Come quickly. Tonight is all your favorite food. Shao Jingmo only let go of Qiao Qiaos hand when she reached her seat. He pulled out the seat for Qiao Qiao and waited for her to sit down before taking a seat beside her. This behavior seemed normal, but in Old Master Qiaos eyes, it was full of satisfaction. He said to Qiao Qiao, Look, Jingmo is really considerate to you. Qiao Qiao smiled faintly. Hes usually like this. Old Master Qiao said, Thats good. 1 was afraid that I was forcefully matchmaking you back then, that you arent happy at all. Now that youre doing well in marriage, Im also gratified. The smile on Qiao Qiaos lips faded a little, but it wasnt that obvious. Grandpa is worried that Im unhappy. Arent you worried that Little Uncle is unhappy? As soon as Qiao Qiao finished speaking, all sounds at the table faded. Mother Qiao and Father Qiao looked over. Shao Jingmos hand that was holding the spoon paused. Old Master Qiao looked surprised. The atmosphere froze for about seven or eight seconds without a trace of sound. Until Shao Jingmo spoke first to break the stagnant atmosphere. He asked her, Corn ribs soup or mushroom soup? Qiao Qiao came back to her senses. When she turned to look at Shao Jingmo, her lips curled into a smile. Mushroom soup, thank you. Mm. Shao Jingmo scooped a bowl of mushroom soup for her. The soup tasted delicious, and Qiao Qiao especially liked it. Mushrooms wrapped in powder and boiled in soup were her favorites. But in the capital, because Li Xiwu could not eat mushrooms, she never showed that she liked to eat mushrooms in front of Li Xiwu after she found out. It was mainly because she was afraid that Li Xiwu would eat them by mistake, because it was not easy to tell when they were fried or boiled. As for the question just now, Old Master Qiao didnt answer. Qiao Qiao was just asking casually. She didnt have to chase after her grandfather for an answer. And she realized herself that she shouldnt have asked the question. During the meal, Old Master Qiao asked Qiao Qiao about her first day in the company and asked her to make a short oral summary for him. It was the first day, after all. She would probably spend most of her time familiarizing herself with the company, so there wouldnt be much concrete summary. Qiao Qiao gave a brief summary. Todays dinner ended happily. Old Master Qiao returned to the bedroom to rest with the help of the servants. Qiao Qiao was about to follow Shao Jingmo upstairs to their respective rooms when she was stopped by Mother Qiao.. Chapter 547 - Chapter 547: Taking the Initiative to Approach, The Jealousy Was Obvious (3) Chapter 547: Taking the Initiative to Approach, The Jealousy Was Obvious (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Guigui. Qiao Qiao turned around. Whats wrong, Mom? Mother Qiao asked, Are you going to rest? Qiao Qiao turned around and looked at Shao Jingmo, who was going upstairs and wasnt waiting for her. She was a little anxious and wanted to follow him, so she said to Mother Qiao anxiously, Yes, Im a little tired. I want to rest early. Mom, rest early too. Good night. With that, she stomped up the stairs after him. Mother Qiao retracted her gaze and looked at Father Qiao, who was walking over with a cup of nourishing flower tea. Father Qiao handed the nourishing flower tea he had just brewed to Mother Qiao and said, You dont look too good. Mother Qiao took the cup of nourishing flower tea. My heart aches for Guigui. She just entered the company and will definitely have to suffer from scratch. Father Qiaos mindset was more open. Why would Jingmo let her suffer? I think Jingmo takes her seriously and will naturally take care of her in the company. You dont have to worry. Shao Jingmo Mother Qiao wanted to say something, but after thinking for a few seconds, she swallowed her words. Forget it. Father Qiao asked, Forget what? Mother Qiao carried the nourishing flower tea back to the bedroom. Nothing. Qiao Qiao chased after him but couldnt catch up to Shao Jingmo. By the time she rushed over, Shao Jingmos bedroom door had already closed. Although their bedrooms were not opposite each other, they were still very close. She stood outside Shao Jingmos door, panting. She raised her hand to knock, thinking that Shao Jingmo must be tired after teaching the Bai family a lesson on her behalf today. Afraid to disturb his rest, she lowered the hand that had been raised to knock. She just wanted to say good night to him. If she specially knocked on the door and called him out, she would definitely disturb his rest. Forget it. Qiao Qiao turned around and left. At this moment, Shao Jingmo was standing inside his bedroom door. Hearing the fading footsteps outside the door, he opened it. However, in the next second, Qiao Qiaos head popped over from the side and she looked at him with a smile. Where are you going? Shao Jingmo was slightly stunned. He had clearly heard her leave before opening the door. Who knew that she had not left? Did she do it on purpose? Qiao Qiao moved in front of Shao Jingmo. Did you forget to bring something up? I can go down and get it for you. Its no trouble. Ill be happy to run errands for you. You protected me today and even avenged me. Its only right for me to do something small for you. Shao Jingmo: The atmosphere became very silent. Seeing that Shao Jingmo was ignoring her, Qiao Qiao also felt a little embarrassed. She slowly moved to the side. Then I wont disturb you anymore. Good night. She turned to slip away. Shao Jingmo suddenly stopped her. Qiao Guigui. Qiao Qiao turned around. Huh? Shao Jingmo asked, Whats the matter? Nothing. She denied it and said, What could happen to me? Nothing happened to me. Ill go back and rest. With that, she slipped away, faster this time than before. Shao Jingmo looked at her figure as she quickly slipped away, and his lips could not help but curve. Good night. The next morning, Qiao Qiao no longer kept a distance from Shao Jingmo like yesterday. She followed him around before and after leaving the house. If she could stay within a meter, she would definitely not keep a distance of more than three meters. And she was dressed a little more formally today. She wore a black suit jacket with a black net skirt and a pair of red and black high heels. She looked very professional. Grandpa, Im going to work. After waving at Old Master Qiao, she held Shao Jingmos arm and the two of them left the villa. The car was already waiting outside the courtyard. The automatic door slowly opened. Qiao Qiao got in first, and Shao Jingmo got in from the other side. When he sat down, Qiao Qiao immediately came over and asked, Little Uncle, how do I look today? Shao Jingmo did not look at her and replied, Okay. Qiao Qiao said, You didnt even look! Shao Jingmo turned around and scrutinized her from head to toe with his slightly aggressive gaze. Then, he asked, Arent you going to keep a distance from me? Qiao Qiao pouted. For safetys sake, its better not to keep my distance. Its fine as it is. But if you dont like it, I can try to stay away. Shao Jingmo said indifferently, Up to you. Qiao Qiao was used to this indifferent attitude, because Shao Jingmo was usually the same. The only time he was gentle was from yesterday afternoon to night. This man was quite charming when he cared about people, although she never denied his charm. The car arrived at the company garage. Today, they didnt go through the front door. Qiao Qiao followed Shao Jingmo from the garage elevator to the office building. Shao Jingmo walked faster. Qiao Qiao jogged after him. Normally, she would have shouted at him to walk slower, but not today. No matter how fast he walked, she would try her best to keep up. Until she couldnt keep up. She stood still, panting. Shao Jingmo noticed that she did not follow, but he did not wait for her. Qiao Qiao was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and grumbled, Cant you be more patient with me? I cooperated with everything today. I went out early and even wore formal clothes. I didnt keep a distance from you along the way. Ive been trying to please you. Why are you still so impatient with me? You dont care about me at all She had only been in the company for a day. Did Shao Jingmo think that she was familiar with the entire company? As she was thinking, she saw a beautiful woman walking towards Shao Jingmo. That woman was dressed lightly. She was beautiful and feminine. It was obvious that she was in line with Shao Jingmos style. The woman said a few words to Shao Jingmo before turning around and walking beside him. Qiao Qiao watched the two well-matched figures fade into the distance. The first time she felt angry was another feeling sour.. Chapter 548 - Chapter 548: He Admitted That There Was a Girl He Had Liked For Many Years (1) Chapter 548: He Admitted That There Was a Girl He Had Liked For Many Years (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao had never experienced such a sour taste before. She didnt give up and chased after him. Halfway through, Dou Ying stopped her. Qiao Qiao, why are you running? Qiao Qiao stopped and looked in the direction of the voice. When she saw that it was Dou Ying, her face darkened. Originally, she had almost forgotten about Dou Ying tricking her into wearing sexy business attire yesterday. However, when she saw Dou Yings face, the awkwardness from yesterday immediately appeared in her mind. She glanced ahead and saw that Shao Jingmo and the woman had already disappeared. She was depressed and turned to walk towards Dou Ying. Secretary Dou! Qiao Qiao walked closer and shouted. Dou Ying raised her hand and naturally brushed away the slanted bangs on her forehead. She asked with a smile, What happened just now? Who were you chasing? Qiao Qiao asked, Did Secretary Dou not see who I was chasing, or did you not see clearly who I was chasing? Dou Yings smile did not waver. l didnt see it. Qiao Qiao snorted inwardly. She had deliberately tricked her into wearing that business attire, but now she didnt feel guilty at all. She was calm enough. However, she finally understood. Even if she immediately questioned Dou Ying, a wily old fox, why she had fooled her yesterday, Dou Ying would give her a watertight reason that she could not find fault with. Forget it. Shell swallow this anger first. Next, Dou Ying accompanied her to her office. Someone had already cleaned it in the morning and it was very neat and tidy. Yesterday, you already had a rough understanding of Deep Blues culture and philosophy, and youre also more or less familiar with the company environment. As she spoke, Dou Ying handed Qiao Qiao a copy of the companys rules and regulations and reminded her, This is what youre going to read today. Its best to read it before eleven. Ill bring you around to familiarize yourself with the management after lunch. This wasnt difficult. Qiao Qiao took the companys rules and regulations document and agreed. Got it. Then, in front of Dou Ying, she began to read the companys rules and regulations seriously. Dou Ying looked carefully at Qiao Qiaos obedient and serious appearance and smiled silently. Then, she asked, President Qiao has a very important meeting this morning. This meeting was arranged by Director Song Yun. Hearing this, Qiao Qiao looked up at Dou Ying in confusion. The smile on Dou Yings lips was obvious. Song Yun is the head of the planning office. You have to remember two words: important position and real power. With these two things, she is now President Qiaos favorite. With that, Dou Ying turned around and left. Qiao Qiao was left looking in the direction of the door at a loss. It was a long time before she looked away. She rested her chin on her palm and looked at the company rules and regulations in front of her, thinking about what Dou Ying had said to her before she left. Did Dou Ying know about her relationship with Shao Jingmo? Logically speaking, she shouldnt know. But if she understood correctly, Dou Yings words to her just now should be reminding her of something. Then who was Song Yun? Could it be the woman who walked with Shao Jingmo just now? The appearance of the woman from before appeared in her mind. Her facial features were exquisite, cold, and elegant. She looked extremely compatible with Shao Jingmo. If Song Yun was her, it would be fine if she was good-looking. However, she was in an important position and had real power and ability. She was also someone Shao Jingmo appreciated. Damn! A confidant! Thinking of this, the word confidante quickly appeared in Qiao Qiaos mind. Soon, Qiao Qiao lowered her head and sighed. l knew it. Shao Jingmos spouse must be a strong alliance and an evenly matched partner. No, no. What am I thinking? Qiao Qiao raised her head and muttered to herself, What does it have to do with me? Jingcheng specially came to remind Qiao Qiao not to order lunch. Qiao Qiao knew that Shao Jingmo must have ordered for her, so she agreed. When it was time, Jingcheng brought in lunch and placed it on the coffee table. Five dishes and a soup. Judging from the dishes, they should all be at the culinary level of a hotel. Qiao Qiaos appetite was whetted. She couldnt wait when she smelled the food. She was about to start eating when Jingcheng reminded her in a low voice, Miss, why dont we wait for Third Master? Qiao Qiao was stunned. Hes coming down to eat? Jing Cheng was surprised. l thought you knew. How would 1 know? You didnt tell me in advance. Qiao Qiao couldnt help but want to eat, but since Shao Jingmo was coming, she had to behave herself. She looked at the dishes and swallowed silently.. Chapter 549 - Chapter 549: He Admitted That There Was a Girl He Had Liked For Many Years (2) Chapter 549: He Admitted That There Was a Girl He Had Liked For Many Years (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jingcheng scratched his head. I thought you knew, Miss. Qiao Qiao put down her chopsticks and exhaled. You didnt make it clear. You only said that 1 dont have to order lunch. Then I thought he ordered it for me. I didnt expect him to come down and eat with us. Just as he finished speaking, Shao Jingmos voice came from the door. Eat first if youre hungry. Theres no need to wait for me. Qiao Qiao turned to look at Shao Jingmo. He must have heard her conversation with Jingcheng. He walked over and draped his jacket over the arm of the sofa, then sat down opposite her. Just the two of us. As long as Im not here, you eat first. Qiao Qiao looked at the cold and oppressive face opposite her and answered untruthfully, Its alright. Im not very hungry. Shao Jingmo looked at her and asked, Then do you want to eat now or later? Qiao Qiao said angrily, l said Im not very hungry. Its not like Im not eating now. What am I eating later? The leftovers you left behind? If you dont eat, Ill wait until you do. Theres no leftovers, he said. Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. Not daring to think too much about it, she picked up her chopsticks. Then lets eat. Shao Jingmo smiled. Apart from some subtle sounds during the meal, neither of them spoke. In the end, Qiao Qiao put down her chopsticks first. Shao Jingmo looked up and asked her, Arent you going to eat more? Im full, she said. Shao Jingmo did not ask further and continued to eat. The atmosphere between the two of them wasnt very good. Although Qiao Qiao didnt speak with a gun and a stick, her tone was cold, making people have no desire to continue the conversation. She didnt get up to leave. She just sat there and watched him eat quietly. After staring for a long time, she finally couldnt suppress her curiosity and asked, Little Uncle, do you have someone you like? Shao Jingmo had already finished his meal and was about to drink a bowl of soup. He looked up at her upon hearing her question. As they looked at each other, Shao Jingmo!s gaze was deep and obscure. Qiao Qiao couldnt understand what kind of gaze it was at all, but the nervousness in her eyes was clearly seen by Shao Jingmo. Qiao Qiaos expression became unnatural. l was just asking. I didnt mean anything else. Shao Jingmo put down the bowl of soup. Did you suddenly want to ask casually, or did you think about it for a long time before asking? Why are you asking so clearly! Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Her expression was clearly very unnatural, but she still pretended to be calm. Dont you think the atmosphere is too quiet? 1 was just looking for a topic to ask. I really didnt mean anything else. After pretending to be calm, she continued the topic in order to make it seem more real. Little Uncle, you didnt answer me just now. Is it because you dont want me to know? Actually, theres nothing to hide. We both know about our marriage agreement. You wont interfere in my private love life. Its the same for me, With that, she secretly glanced at Shao Jingmos expression. Fortunately, he did not pull a long face. However, he had always been a person who did not show his emotions. She still had to watch his expression. Shao Jingmo lowered his eyes and looked at the bowl of soup in front of him. He rejected it faintly. This is my personal relationship. No comments. Qiao Qiaos small face tightened. Then if I tell you about my personal relationships first, will you tell me? Shao Jingmo looked up at her and said, Tell me. Qiao Qiao asked, l want a definite answer from you. Shao Jingmos emotions were as calm as water. Sure. Unexpectedly, he was quite straightforward. Qiao Qiao leaned forward with her upper body. In order to pry into Shao Jingmos personal feelings, she confessed her personal feelings to him. She cleared her throat and said solemnly, l have someone I like in the capital. Of course, this person was Li Xiwu!! Qiao Qiao thought that she had brushed him off, but she ignored Shao Jingmos insight. He asked calmly, Is it that Miss Li? Qiao Qiao: Shao Jingmo smiled playfully. So your orientation is female. Qiao Qiao: In just two minutes, her orientation was redefined by Shao Jingmo. Qiao Qiao was on the brink of tears. Why was it so difficult to get information out of Shao Jingmo? But at this point, Qiao Qiao still didnt want to give up. If she couldnt figure it out, she would just ask directly. Hence, she mustered her courage. Just as she was about to ask, Shao Jingmo replied calmly, Theres a girl Ive liked for years. Qiao Qiaos eyes widened and her voice rose.. Youve liked her for many years? Chapter 550 - Chapter 550: He Admitted That There Was a Girl He Had Liked For Many Years (3) Chapter 550: He Admitted That There Was a Girl He Had Liked For Many Years (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo did not say anything, which meant that he agreed. He kept his gaze on her, watching the expression on her face slowly change from very surprised to only slightly surprised. It was indeed expected for Qiao Qiao. He did have someone he liked. Oh. She actually didnt look that calm. She just pretended to take her time with an oh to show that she knew. Right on the heels of that, she said, Its a good thing to have someone you like. 1 was originally worried that getting married because of our agreement would affect your relationship with the person you like. Shao Jingmos gaze stopped on Qiao Qiao and he said word by word, It wont affect her. Shes with me. So theyre together. Was this an affair?! As soon as this thought popped into her mind, Qiao Qiao quickly came to her senses. She and Shao Jingmo were getting married by agreement. When they registered their marriage, she had already made the request that no one could interfere with each others private lives. In other words, even if Shao Jingmo had an affair, she had agreed in advance. However, the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. Qiao Qiaos face turned visibly ugly as she suddenly stood up. Shao Jingmo asked gently, Whats wrong? Whats wrong? Cant you tell? Im angry! Qiao Qiao realized that she had made her anger too obvious. Would Shao Jingmo suspect that she liked him? Bah! She didnt like him. Other than being handsome, rich, and gentle, what was so good about him?! Ahhh!! Why should she be angry and think of him well! Youre hopeless, Qiao Guigui! Nothing. Qiao Qiao said nonchalantly, l just ate a little too much and couldnt digest it. I stood up and walked around. Shao Jingmo said, Remember to eat digestive pills before dinner. Qiao Qiao said perfunctorily, Got it. After lunch, Shao Jingmo left her office. Then, Qiao Qiao didnt see Shao Jingmo again for the entire afternoon. Instead, she saw Song Yun. When she first met Song Yun, Qiao Qiao didnt feel a little panicked. This panic was because she had now taken over the position of Mrs. Shao, making Song Yun unable to show her face without an identity. Qiao Qiao? Song Yun called her name uncertainly. At that moment, Qiao Qiao was following Dou Ying. Along the way, Dou Ying introduced Qiao Qiao to the management and took her to meet her colleagues from the same department. Qiao Qiao listened especially seriously and didnt notice Song Yun walking over from the side. Until she heard someone call her. Qiao Qiao only knew that this woman was the woman she had seen around Shao Jingmo this morning. She was not sure that she was Song Yun until Dou Ying officially introduced her. Qiao Qiao, this is the director of the planning office, Song Yun. After confirming the other partys identity from Dou Ying, Qiao maintained a professional smile. Hello, Director Song. The smile on Song Yuns face looked much more natural than the professional smile on Qiao Qiaos face. l heard President Qiao mention you. I heard that Secretary Dou is taking care of you for the time being. I saw you walking together just now. I guess youre Qiao Qiao, right? Qiao Qiao forced a smile, wanting it to be more natural. Its me, but Im just a new employee. I havent even seen the President. Why would President Qiao mention me? She guessed that Song Yun must know about her relationship with Shao Jingmo. However, because this was a company, she naturally wouldnt say it. She didnt want Song Yun to find trouble with her in the future, so she simply said that she wasnt familiar with Shao Jingmo. It all depended on Song Yun. However, Song Yuns expression was not surprised. She went past the previous topic and asked, Where are you going? Dou Ying replied, Im bringing her to meet her colleagues from the same department. Song Yun said, l remember that she has a separate office. Secretary Dou, just teach her useful practical things. She doesnt have to maintain interpersonal relationships with other colleagues. Qiao Qiao chimed in at the right moment. l think since I work here, its necessary to get to know my colleagues. Song Yun glanced at Qiao Qiao. Thats good. Ill go up first. With that, Song Yun turned to leave. After Song Yun left, Qiao Qiao immediately asked Dou Ying, Is she opening gambit? Dou Ying raised her eyebrows. You think so? Qiao Qiao nodded. Dou Ying shook her head. Im not sure. Qiao Qiao said, Wily old fox. Dou Ying turned her face to the side and suppressed a smile. Qiao Qiao thought that Dou Ying didnt want to talk to her, so she didnt talk about anything other than work. It was time to get off work. Qiao Qiao stood obediently in a conspicuous place and waited for Shao Jingmo. At this moment, her colleagues from the company came out one after another. Those who had already seen Qiao Qiao would greet her, and Qiao Qiao would respond. She waited for a while before she finally saw Shao Jingmo. She was about to go forward when she noticed that Song Yun was following him out. Qiao Qiao immediately suppressed her smile. She turned around, not wanting to see the scene of a perfect match. As soon as she turned around, she saw Jingcheng standing behind her. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and said sourly, You saw it too, right? Jingcheng was confused. See what? Qiao Qiao pointed behind her. Look at them. Theyre so compatible. She thought Jingcheng would echo her, but he said, They dont necessarily match. Qiao Qiao grinned. Really? Jingcheng pointed behind her. Those are two men. I dont think they match. Qiao Qiao looked back. It was really two male colleagues walking together, talking and laughing. She was speechless. The further back she looked, the more she saw Shao Jingmo and Song Yun standing there without leaving. Song Yun was saying something, and Shao Jingmo was listening attentively. Qiao Qiao walked down the steps angrily. Go and wait in the car! Jingcheng immediately followed. A few minutes later, Shao Jingmo walked to the car. Jingcheng, who had been standing guard outside the car, lowered his voice and said to Shao Jingmo, Third Master, Miss seems to be jealous. Although Jingcheng looked like he was not scheming, he was actually very scheming. However, Shao Jingmo did not take his words seriously. She wont be jealous. Shes just angry after waiting for too long. With that, Shao Jingmo was about to get into the car when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said, Lets not go home first. Well change our route to the mall. Jingcheng asked, Should we clear the area in advance? Shao Jingmo said, No need. She likes lively places.. Chapter 551 - Chapter 551: Sweet Pull, Don’t Bully (1) Chapter 551: Sweet Pull, Dont Bully (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The car didnt drive far before Qiao Qiao realized that the route wasnt the way home. She asked Shao Jingmo, Is there anything else you need to do? Shao Jingmo replied, Its been a long time since you went shopping. Its still early. Shall I go shopping with you? Shopping at the mall? Qiao Qiao was surprised. Shao Jingmo asked her opinion, Are you going? Qiao Qiao looked down at her hands and feet. After thinking for a while, she muttered softly, Its not early either. Its already five-thirty. Because we came back late last night, Grandpa, Dad, and Mom have been waiting for us to eat for a long time. Shao Jingmo reached out his arm to Qiao Qiao and tapped her shoulder with his fingertips. Qiao Qiao turned to look at him. Whats wrong? Shao Jingmo said, l told Grandpa that Im going on a date with you tonight. They wont wait for us for dinner. You can shop as long as you want. Qiao Qiao was surprised. This was an arrangement she hadnt expected at all. Then, shall we go up for a date tonight? Shao Jingmo nodded. Qiao Qiao quickly brushed back her hair and found her voice. Did you tell Grandpa that? Shao Jingmo nodded again. He made no other response, said nothing. He just nodded. Qiao Qiao was quite happy. That kind of excitement would feel unreal when it surged up, but her heart quickly turned cold again. She hid her emotions and said faintly, Forget it. Were outside now. Theres no need for us to act like a loving couple outside. She was fine with it. But didnt he feel disgusted? Especially since he had someone he liked. Wouldnt it be disgusting and tiring to have to endure acting like a loving husband and wife with her at home and outside? Shao Jingmo looked at the changing expressions on her face and pondered for a moment before asking, So you dont want to go? Qiao Qiao shook her head. No. Shao Jingmo did not ask the chauffeur to change the route. He said, l want to go. Im usually busy with work and dont have much time to shop. Today is just the right time. Youre here too. Take it as shopping with me and buy two clothes. You have good taste. You can help me take a look. When Qiao Qiao heard Shao Jingmo ask her to help him buy clothes, the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably. She agreed in a slightly arrogant tone. l didnt want to go shopping at first. Im tired and bored, but Little Uncle, you asked me to help you buy clothes. Its not impossible to help with such a small favor. Alright, Ill go with you. Shao Jingmo curled his beautiful lips. Thank you in advance. Qiao Qiao said generously, Youre welcome. It was the evening rush hour. It was past six when the car arrived near the mall. Qiao Qiao got out of the car first and took out her phone to GPS the route here. After getting out of the car, Shao Jingmo said to Jingcheng, Go to the nearby pharmacy and buy a box of gastric digestive pills. Jing Cheng agreed. Okay, Third Master. By the time Qiao Qiao turned around, Jingcheng had already driven away. She walked to Shao Jingmos side. Little Uncle, Ill go eat first, right? Its just right to go shopping after eating. Shao Jingmo held her hand. Yes, Ive already booked the cafeteria in advance. This gesture of holding hands was very natural, so natural that Qiao Qiao didnt find it strange at all. She didnt struggle and obediently let Shao Jingmo lead her there. This cafeteria was one of the more upscale ones in the business circle. As far as Qiao Qiao knew, this cafeteria needed to be reserved at least three hours in advance. In other words, Shao Jingmo had been prepared to come here from the beginning. She didnt think much of it. She just thought that he had a sudden urge to shop and buy clothes. He was quite free. Soon, Jingcheng rushed over to deliver digestive tablets. Qiao Qiao was poking her head out curiously to see what the box Jingcheng had sent over while panting from running. Before she could see it clearly, she saw Shao Jingmo hand her the box. Eat before dinner. Right in front of her, Qiao Qiao saw the words on the box clearly. A digestive tablet? Qiao Qiao was puzzled. Shao Jingmo said, Didnt you say at noon that you wouldnt digest it if you ate too much? Qiao Qiao kept her mouth shut. She had said it casually at noon, but not only did Shao Jingmo take it seriously, but he also remembered it. Qiao Qiao felt very guilty, but the digestive tablet had been handed to her. She had to take it even if she didnt want to. Besides, it didnt matter even if she ate it. She read the instructions, then obediently ate the digestive tablet. During the meal, Qiao Qiao had a good appetite. However, she would always remind Shao Jingmo from time to time, You have to buy clothes later. Dont eat too much, or it wont be suitable. Shao Jingmo placed the poured drink beside her. Ill eat less. You should eat more.. Chapter 552 - Chapter 552: Sweet Pull, Don’t Bully (2) Chapter 552: Sweet Pull, Dont Bully (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiaos mouth was full as she said, l cant eat too much either. Im going on a diet. Shao Jingmo asked, Dont you girls always say that you have to eat your fill to have the strength to lose weight? Not every girl. Little Uncle, what you know is only one-sided. Girls who really want to lose weight will definitely be able to control their mouths. With that, Qiao Qiao stuffed another piece of beef into her mouth and said with puffed cheeks, But Im also the kind of girl you know. Shao Jingmo chuckled and reminded her, Eat slowly. Dont eat and drink just because you ate a digestive tablet before dinner. Got it. Qiao Qiaos cheeks never stopped moving. After paying the bill, Shao Jingmo returned and handed Qiao Qiao her wallet. Take it. At that moment, Qiao Qiao had just put on her lipstick. When she saw the wallet Shao Jingmo handed her, she blinked in confusion. Why did you give me the wallet? Shao Jingmo said indifferently, Men are trying on clothes outside, and women are paying. This is an act of giving men face. At this point, Shao Jingmo leaned over and looked at her with a smile. Mrs. Shao, its rare for you to come out today. Can you give me some face? The mention of Mrs. Shao made Qiao Qiaos heart beat faster. Flustered, she screwed on her lipstick and placed it several times before putting it in her bag. I-I-I havent paid for a man, she said in a slightly nervous tone. How about I be the first man? Shao Jingmo asked. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. But 1 Probably knowing what she was going to say, Shao Jingmo said, You dont have to worry about anything else. Ill tell you when I choose the clothes. When the time comes, you can just take the black card in the wallet and pay. Theres no password. She silently swallowed a few times and mustered her courage to take the wallet from Shao Jingmo. Put it in your purse, he said. Qiao Qiao obediently put her wallet into her ladys bag. Shao Jingmo reached out to hold her hand. Lets go. Qiao Qiao had just put the wallet away when she looked at the outstretched hand in front of her. She hesitated and didnt hand it over. Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Whats wrong? Qiao Qiao looked up at him and whispered, Without Grandpa and the others around, you dont have to hold my hand. There are many people outside. What if I accidentally lose you? I wont be able to answer to Grandpa when I go back. Its better to hold hands. With that, he didnt give her a chance to hesitate and took her hand to lead her out of the cafeteria. The feeling of her hand being held tightly made Qiao Qiao feel especially at ease. Her heart was still beating as fast as before. How strange. Why had her heartbeat been abnormal for the past two days? She obediently followed beside Shao Jingmo, and the two of them quickly entered the inner floor of the mall. It had been a long time since Qiao Qiao had shopped. When she saw many shops, she wanted to go in and take a look, especially jewelry shops. Beside her, Shao Jingmo could tell what she was thinking. When they passed by a luxury jewelry shop, he took the initiative to ask her, Shall we go in and take a look? No. Qiao Qiao shook her head. l agreed to help you look at your clothes. You havent even looked at a single one of your clothes. How can I have the cheek to look at what I like first? Its still early. The mens clothes are on the upper floor. Lets see what you like first. With that, Shao Jingmo held Qiao Qiaos hand and walked into the jewelry shop. This jewelry shop was Bvlgari. As soon as Qiao Qiao entered, she took a fancy to the jewelry from the Monet series and paid directly after trying it on. Seeing that she was about to pay with her own phone, Shao Jingmo reminded her, Use my card. Qiao Qiao said, No need. I have money. As soon as she said this, the salesperson looked at Qiao Qiao with admiration. Women in the new era were very handsome when they paid for their own shopping! They didnt have to ask their boyfriends to pay! However, the salesperson quickly retracted this thought. Because the man beside this lady said, Mrs. Shao, are you feeling sorry for your husbands hard work and cant bear to help him spend it? Qiao Qiaos expression froze. When the salesperson beside him heard that the two of them were husband and wife, her expression immediately changed. Not a boyfriend? It was a husband! Since he was her husband, she had to spend her husbands money! This beautiful wife! Qiao Qiaos ears heated up. She didnt expect Shao Jingmo to directly reveal their relationship. She threw a sentence at him angrily. Dont worry about me! Then she took her phone to the cash register to pay. Taking advantage of the fact that the lady was very far from the man, the salesperson secretly reminded her, Madam, hes your husband. Why dont you use his card? You have to use it! Its only right for a husband to spend money on his wife. If you cant bear to spend it, what if someone else is willing to spend it in the future? Ive been there before. Believe me, its definitely not wrong to spend your husbands money.. Chapter 553 - Chapter 553: Sweet Pull, Don’t Bully (3) Chapter 553: Sweet Pull, Dont Bully (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Her words woke her up from her dream. Qiao Qiao didnt understand, but she thought it was impressive. You seem to be right. If she didnt spend Shao Jingmos money, there would be many women who would spend Shao Jingmos money for her in the future. In the end, she would be the one to suffer. So, why not spend it?! Swipe the card! Qiao Qiao handed over the black card readily. When she came over after paying, Qiao Qiao looked refreshed. She was indeed happier spending Shao Jingmos money than her own. After all, she didnt work hard to earn it, so her heart didnt ache. She held the jewelry bag in one hand and the black card in the other. You wont feel the pinch when I use your card, will you? Shao Jingmo smiled. The harder my wife works to spend money, the more motivated your husband is to earn money. These words were quite pleasant to hear. Qiao Qiao bit her lip. But were faking our marriage. Were officially registered. How is this a fake marriage? His words were also a reminder to her. Our relationship is a married couple protected by the law. You can squander the assets under my name however you want. If you cant squander them all, 1 can help you plan how to squander them. Qiao Qiao smirked. Youre so generous to me? Shao Jingmo said word by word, Of course. Youre my wife. The words youre my wife were so charming that Qiao Qiao almost hugged Shao Jingmo and kissed him. She forcefully resisted this urge. This man was too good. Every look and every word teased her heart. But she was rational enough to know that he was only being nice to her in name. There was nothing wrong with that kind of behavior. Next, the two of them went to several jewelry stores. She bought several rings, necklaces, and earrings. They were all from Shao Jingmos black card. When she bought the watch, the salesperson recommended a pair of couple watches. Qiao Qiao was about to reject the couples watch that the salesperson had kindly recommended when Shao Jingmo said, We can try. Qiao Qiao was speechless. The salesperson took out the couples watch enthusiastically. Shao Jingmo put it on first. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was not wearing it, he held her wrist and helped her put it on. Qiao Qiao watched as he put the ladys watch from the couples watch on her wrist. She frowned. When Shao Jingmo asked her if she liked it, she didnt answer. Instead, she asked, Is it for me? Shao Jingmo said, Who else? Or rather, who else do you think Ill give it to? Qiao Qiao didnt say anything, thinking that Shao Jingmo must be putting on an act. When he was at home, he would wear it for Grandpa and the others to see. He definitely wouldnt wear it when he was outside. l like it. Her tone was forced. Shao Jingmo saw that she was unhappy. Is it very forced? Qiao Qiao shook her head. Im not. Shao Jingmo took off the watch on her wrist. Then 1 dont want it. Qiao Qiao pressed his hand down, clearly anxious. Who said I dont like it? I clearly like it. Shao Jingmo looked into her eyes and said in a low voice, l couldnt tell that you liked it. Qiao Qiao asked, Then what should I do to show that I like you? Should 1 hug you and wheedle, then say thank you to my dear husband? When Qiao Qiao said this, she blushed. Look at how anxious she was. She even said such mushy words. She stole a glance at Shao Jingmos face and saw a faint smile on his lips. She was so embarrassed that she wished there was a crack in the ground so that she could hide. Its not impossible. Shao Jingmos smiling voice entered her ears. Unconsciously, he leaned closer to her, his lips close to her ear. It was fine if the voice suddenly drew closer, but the faint heat in her ears could not be ignored. Her ears were extremely red, and her heart raced uncontrollably. Qiao Qiao felt like she was going crazy. She gritted her teeth in an extremely low voice. Little Uncle, stand properly. Wait for me to finish. Shao Jingmo chuckled. You were the one who said that you wanted to thank your dear husband. I heard you clearly. You cant deny it. Tell me now. Qiao Qiao: The magnetic field within a three-meter radius was sickeningly sweet, and the salesperson was stuffed with dog food. Qiao Qiao couldnt withstand Shao Jingmos invisible attack. She suspected that something was wrong with her mentality. Otherwise, why would she blush when Shao Jingmo approached her? This had never happened before. What are you talking about? She pushed him away angrily. You foot the bill! With that, she left, wanting to take a breather outside. She had just taken two steps when Shao Jingmo stopped her. Mrs. Shao. Qiao Qiao pretended not to hear. Shao Jingmo said slowly, Mrs. Shao, do you plan to detain me here after you took the wallet away? Qiao Qiao, who was about to leave the jewelry shop with her head held high, stopped abruptly when she heard this. Yes, Shao Jingmo!s wallet was with her. Once she left, Shao Jingmo couldnt pay. She turned back to him. Shao Jingmo placed his hand on the glass cabinet and turned to say to the salesperson, Im sorry, my wife is in charge. The financial power is also in her hands. I have to ask for instructions to complete the payment.. Chapter 554 - Chapter 554: Honey, I’ll Leave The Rest to You (1) Chapter 554: Honey, Ill Leave The Rest to You (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo came out of the shop and had already walked a few meters away. When they turned around, they saw that the salesperson was still secretly laughing. Qiao Qiao angrily elbowed Shao Jingmo. You make me look like a fierce woman when you say that in front of others. Shao Jingmo asked, Did l? Qiao Qiao snorted. Thats what you think, but others dont think so. They keep saying that their wives are under their control. They need their permission to buy anything. To others, I am a fierce woman. The image of a beautiful girl disappeared with a whoosh. A smile appeared on Shao Jingmos lips. How can this be called a fierce woman? This is called maintaining the family. Others cant wait to envy me. Bullsh*t! She retorted his correction. Who would envy you? Others will only pity you, okay? A earner has to get his wifes permission to spend money. As she said this, Qiao Qiao had already brought herself into the role of Shao Jingmos wife. She did not notice that the smile on Shao Jingmos lips deepened. She cleared her throat and continued. Im being matter-of-fact and reasonable with you. Shao Jingmo nodded his head and said meaningfully, Yes, that makes sense. Qiao Qiao: Qiao Qiao didnt want to shop on the first floor anymore, mainly because she had bought most of the things she liked. She would stop while she was ahead. Otherwise, if she spent too much, Shao Jingmo would think that she was a gold- swallowing beast and never bring her shopping again. They reached the mens clothing section upstairs. It was Qiao Qiaos first time shopping in mens clothes, so she was still a little nervous. She couldnt help but hold Shao Jingmos arm tightly. Dont take too These words meant something else to Shao Jingmo. Are you tired from shopping and want to go back early? Im not tired. Qiao Qiao said honestly, Its mainly because Im uncomfortable staying in the mens section for too long. Shao Jingmo led her into the shop. You wont. The mens section was basically filled with female saleswomen. As soon as Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo entered, the female saleswomen came forward to welcome them enthusiastically. Qiao Qiao was already uncomfortable, so she was extremely afraid of the saleswomen. Strange. She hadnt felt this way when shed been warmly received at the jewelry store. Was it just because this was a mens shop? Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She was about to ask the salesperson to help recommend it when the salesperson asked her first, Are you looking at your husbands clothes? Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows and thoughtheh, what kind of eyes did this person have? She could tell at a glance that she and Shao Jingmo were husband and wife. Honey. Qiao Qiao was stunned and didnt respond until Shao Jingmo called out a second time and said, Honey, Ill leave the rest to you. Qiao Qiao turned to look at Shao Jingmo, her almond- shaped eyes widening slightly. Shao Jingmos eyes were filled with a faint smile. Thank you, my wife. Qiao Qiao was really not used to Shao Jingmo calling her his wife. She wanted to tell him that it was better to call her by her nickname, but before she could speak, Shao Jingmo glanced sideways and said to the salesperson, Please take my wife to choose. The salesperson asked, Sir, arent you going to take a look at the style with your wife? Shao Jingmo shook his head. Theres no need. I trust my wifes judgment more. Okay, the salesperson agreed. She turned to Qiao Qiao and said, Madam, this is our new spring design. Qiao Qiao had no choice but to brace herself and follow the salesperson to the new spring design area. Shao Jingmo sat down on the sofa in the waiting area of the shop. Another salesperson immediately brought over hot tea. She smiled sweetly and tried to talk to Shao Jingmo. For a man like Shao Jingmo, who had a superior appearance, a superior figure, and an expensive watch on his hand, it was obvious that he was very rich. There were women everywhere who were willing to pounce on him. However, the salespersons conversation did not succeed. Shao Jingmo did not even look up at the salesperson. Theres nothing needed here. The salesperson was indignant. Sir Shao Jingmos voice turned cold. Noisy. The sweet smile on the salespersons face suddenly froze. Although she was unwilling, she could only stand up resentfully and retreat to the side. For Qiao Qiao, who was inexperienced in choosing mens clothes, helping Shao Jingmo choose clothes was undoubtedly a big challenge. She didnt know much about mens clothes. Why dont she choose two random clothes? Or let the salesperson pair it. After all, they were more professional. She looked around and actually took a fancy to a set.. Chapter 555 - Chapter 555: Honey, I’ll Leave the Rest to You (2) Chapter 555: Honey, Ill Leave the Rest to You (2) The salesperson immediately introduced this new spring design to Qiao Qiao seriously. Qiao Qiao listened attentively. After the salesperson raised the hanger and carefully explained, Qiao Qiao became more and more satisfied. She said, Take this and come with me. Okay. The salesperson followed. Qiao Qiao returned to Shao Jingmo and saw that he was resting with his eyes closed. She didnt wake him up casually. Instead, she leaned over and whispered in his ear, The clothes have been chosen. Shao Jingmo knew when she approached. When he heard her whisper in his ear, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. Are you done? Qiao Qiao smiled in embarrassment and pointed at the set of mens clothes in the salespersons hand. l took a fancy to it, and then she matched it. I think it looks good. It should suit you. Shao Jingmos expression was gentle as he smiled dotingly. Since you think its suitable, Ill give it a try. Qiao Qiao couldnt wait to see Shao Jingmo in this set of clothes. She waved her hand. Go, go. Shao Jingmo took the set of clothes and went to the fitting room. Qiao Qiao waited outside. The salesperson went to get Qiao Qiao a glass of water. Qiao Qiao took it and thanked her. The salesperson turned around and saw another salesperson standing at the side with a dark expression. She guessed that she must have had some ill intentions when she introduced the new spring design to the lady. She was always like this. She was crazy about finding a sugar daddy. The salesperson retracted her gaze and waited for Qiao Qiao to finish her water. She deliberately mentioned in front of Qiao Qiao, Madam, your husband is very concerned about your personal feelings. Qiao Qiao had to drink half a glass of water to quench her thirst. Hearing the salespersons words, she didnt know what to answer. She said casually, Its alright. The salesperson continued, This means that your husband cares about your feelings. Qiao Qiao was a little surprised and asked, Why do you think so? The smile on the salespersons face was sincere. She said to Qiao Qiao, Ive received many customers. Most male customers usually choose their own clothes when they enter a mens clothing shop. They care very much about the experience of buying their own clothes. There are also men who believe in their wives taste. Over time, I gradually realized that these male customers have a common characteristic. These words made Qiao Qiao extremely curious. She asked, What common characteristics? The salesperson said, Doting on their wives. These words were quite subtle to Qiao Qiao. The face of the salesperson at the side darkened. This insinuation made her unable to say anything. Maam, your husband came out after changing, the salesperson reminded her. Qiao Qiao immediately put down the cup and turned to look at Shao Jingmo, who had come out of the fitting room. It was a dark gray suit that was ironed without a trace of wrinkles. The jacket was of a medium-length style, and the inside was a lapel, so there was no need to wear a tie. Every move looked especially noble. Coupled with Shao Jingmos face, Qiao Qiao could only sigh in her heart. How is it? Shao Jingmo walked up to her and asked for her evaluation first. He had not looked at the mirror properly before this. Qiao Qiao asked, Do I have to tell the truth? Shao Jingmo frowned slightly. He thought that it was not good-looking, but since it was her evaluation, he accepted whether it was good-looking or not. He wanted her to choose as long as she was satisfied. He nodded. The truth. Qiao Qiao didnt answer him immediately. Instead, she went forward and grabbed Shao Jingmos hand to the full-length mirror. Looking at the tall man in the mirror, Qiao Qiao sighed in her heart again. So handsome! She turned her head and said, Did you look in the mirror? Shao Jingmo said, l did. Then? Qiao Qiao said, Dont you think its super handsome? Such praise was straightforward and fervent, which surprised Shao Jingmo. He thought that he did not look good. He looked at the mirror and his gaze first landed on her in the mirror. He paused for a moment before looking at himself in the mirror. He felt no different from usual, probably because he didnt pay too much attention to clothes. It was always the assistant who paired them in advance. Seeing that he wasnt speaking, Qiao Qiao shook his little arm and asked, How is it? How is it? Do you like it? Shao Jingmo looked at her in the mirror and replied, l like it. Qiao Qiao was so focused on Shao Jingmos expression that she didnt notice her reflection in the mirror opposite her. But why do I feel that you dont look like you like it much? Look, youre not even smiling. Shao Jingmos lips slowly curled up.. Chapter 556 - Chapter 556: Honey, I’ll Leave The Rest to You (3) Chapter 556: Honey, Ill Leave The Rest to You (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was a very gentle curve. Qiao Qiao grinned too. Thats right. This set suits you too well. It looks better than the male models of this brand. Ill suggest that their company hire you as their model. To be their model? He looked surprised. Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes. Then, she pointed at the mirror and continued, Look at your face that attracts both men and women and your superior figure. The brand will rise to another level after they hire you to be their model. Shao Jingmo called her gently, Qiao Guigui. Qiao Qiao replied, Yes? Shao Jingmo said, If I become a model and earn that meager salary every month, how can I support you? Im not extravagant when it comes to spending money. Besides, Qiao Qiao retorted subconsciously, how is the salary of a model low? Its not low either. Shao Jingmo did not refute her. He only listed it for her. If you attend an auction and take a fancy to a gem or a rare item, wont it cost millions? Qiao Qiao hesitated, then nodded. Shao Jingmo smiled. Take a private plane to Turkey to watch hot air balloons, go to the opera house in Sydney, go to the Chateau Lafite in France, and so on. Youve been talking about the countries you want to go to the most. If you want to go to the sea one day, you would need to book a cruise ship. Doesnt that cost a lot of money? This time, Qiao Qiao nodded without hesitation. The smile on Shao Jingmos lips deepened. Your clothes, bags, and jewelry are all luxury brands. Your skincare maintenance is also a top-notch beauty salon. When you go out, you have to have at least a Rolls-Royce. Can models really afford you? Qiao Qiao fell silent. Actually, it wasnt to this extent, but with Shao Jingmos current wealth, she felt that it would be a loss if he didnt fulfill what he said! Shao Jingmo said, Look, all expenses are so expensive. Are you sure you want to suggest that I become a model? Aiyaya, you took it seriously. I was just joking, she said immediately, smiling ingratiatingly. Shao Jingmo raised his hand and tapped her forehead. He teased, Your suggestion is actually not bad. If I develop, I can become your exclusive male model. Qiao Qiao blushed and couldnt take this lying down. She pushed him. Go change into another set. Shao Jingmo said, You havent chosen the next set for me. Qiao Qiao: When she came out of the mall after buying clothes, it was already nine-thirty. This was the first time Qiao Qiao had returned late with Shao Jingmo. When she returned home, Old Master Qiao was already asleep. Mother Qiao and Father Qiao were also asleep. When she reached the corridor upstairs, she quickly said goodnight to Shao Jingmo and returned to her room. Shao Jingmo looked at the closed door and stood outside for a moment before returning to his bedroom. By then, Qiao Qiao was already lying on the soft bed. She recalled everything that had happened with Shao Jingmo tonight. Her calves were no longer sore, and her feet no longer hurt. Only the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. She laughed out loud. Qiao Qiao covered her mouth and couldnt hide her emotions at this moment. On account of how happy she was shopping tonight, she would reluctantly forgive him for ignoring her during the day. Qiao Qiao slept especially well that night. The next day, she woke up early and changed a few clothes. She carefully put on a satisfied makeup and was in a good mood. She went downstairs to prepare breakfast before going to the company with Shao Jingmo. In the end, Shao Jingmo was not in the dining room. At first, she did not expect Shao Jingmo to have already left. She sat down at the dining table and picked up a piece of toast to spread jam on it. After taking a bite, she asked Father Qiao, Is Little Uncle not down yet? Father Qiao was reading the newspaper. When he heard this, he looked up and replied, Hes already gone out. Do you think hes like you, a lazy bum who slept until now? Qiao Qiao stopped pouting, thinking that she had heard wrongly. Little Uncle has already gone out? Mm. It was Mother Qiao who answered. She poured Qiao Qiao a glass of milk and pushed it to her. Qiao Qiaos good mood early in the morning dissipated at this moment. A second ago, she had thought that the jam was so sweet, but now it felt like wax in her mouth. What about me if he goes out first? Besides, I usually come down at this time and go out with him after breakfast. How can I sleep in? She had gone to bed early last night and woken early today. She was wide awake now. There was no need to confirm the time. It was eight-thirty in the morning. Mother Qiao saw that her daughter was unhappy. He seems to have gone to the office for something first. Your father will send you to the office later. Qiao Qiao nodded sullenly. Seeing that his daughters expression was so bad, Father Qiao smiled and teased, Its indeed different to have a good relationship. He just went out beforehand. Look at you. Why dont you let Jingmo tie you to his belt? Qiao Qiao continued to eat her toast tastelessly. Dad, dont guess what Im thinking. Alright, alright, alright. I wont guess your thoughts. Hurry up and eat, Father Qiao said. Mother Qiao looked at her daughters tasteless breakfast and probed, Is it because hes not around that you dont even have the appetite for breakfast? Qiao Qiao realized that she had made her emotions too obvious and restrained herself a little. No, Mom. You know, my appetite in the morning isnt very good. Mother Qiao said, Thats hard to say. Qiao Qiao fell silent. Mother Qiao asked unhurriedly, Did you have a good time outside with Jingmo last night? Qiao Qiao replied in a low voice, Its alright. Mother Qiao deliberately said, Tsk, I realize that you dont seem to be as afraid of him as before. Really? Qiao Qiao grinned. That means your daughter has made a name for herself. Mother Qiao smiled and said nothing else. After breakfast, Qiao Qiao got into Father Qiaos car and went to the company. On the way, Father Qiao chatted with her about recent company topics. Qiao Qiao was surprised to find that although her father didnt enter the company and didnt care about it, he knew a lot about the company. However, she didnt think too much about it. After all, her father was also a member of the Qiao family. It was normal for him to know something about the company. As they chatted, Father Qiao imperceptibly mentioned, Be more careful in the company. Its best to be more careful if you think about taking over the company. Qiao Qiao replied casually, Isnt Little Uncle in charge of the company? How can I take over the company? Besides, Im staying in the company now to stabilize a portion of our Qiao familys shares. Didnt you tell me that before? Father Qiao stopped talking and focused on driving.. Chapter 557 - Chapter 557: It’s Very Difficult to Like, and You Can Meet All Difficulties (1) Chapter 557: Its Very Difficult to Like, and You Can Meet All Difficulties (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao bought more than a dozen coffees in the cafe downstairs. She thought that since Dou Ying had already introduced her to her colleagues in the same department, she should also perform and treat them to coffee. The clerk helped her put the coffee in five separate paper bags. It was quite heavy. Qiao Qiao had a little trouble carrying it. She finally reached the floor. When Qiao Qiao came out of the elevator and approached the glass door with quick steps. she heard a sentence from inside Everyone should know, right? The old chairmans granddaughter is here for an internship! Hearing this, Qiao Qiao stopped in her tracks and looked up at her colleagues inside the glass door. The person who spoke was standing in the middle, waving his hand and gossiping with everyone. The others were leaning against the nearest desk and listening to the gossip. When they heard this, the other colleagues all looked disdainful or slightly mocking. Qiao Qiao quietly retreated to the potted plant of the fortune tree outside the glass and blocked her body with the dense leaves of the tree. The beaming colleague asked, Do you know who this person is? Another colleague teased, Who else could it be? Didnt Secretary Dou already bring that Missy over to meet everyone yesterday? The female colleague beside her chimed in, This young lady is quite beautiful, but she doesnt have any aura. One look and you can tell that shes easy to get along with. Someone teased, Youre trying to say that she looks easy to bully. Hey, hey, hey. I didnt say that. Speaking of which, the old chairman no longer has any real power. What can Missy do in Deep Blue at this time? I dont believe she can snatch Deep Blue back from President Qiao! Heh, maybe Miss really has the ability to snatch Deep Blue back from President Qiao. Youre too naive. On the surface, we call him President Qiao, but in fact, President Qiaos surname is Shao. He doesnt have the same surname as the old chairman. Its so easy to fall out with him. You can tell from Missys current situation. Although she has a separate office, she has to start from the bottom. President Qiao didnt even put in any effort. In that case, Missy is quite pitiful. As the biological granddaughter of the chairman and the daughter of the Deep Blue Group, she actually has to start from the bottom when she enters her company. President Qiao is ruthless and the company is stable. Hahaha Hey, hey, stop laughing. Someones here. After this reminder, everyone quickly regained their composure and pretended that nothing had happened. Then, they turned around in unison and looked at Qiao Qiao, who had come in with five bags of coffee. What are you guys talking about? You look like youre having a good time. Is it something I can listen to? Qiao Qiao asked with a straight face. Such a calm reaction made those people really unable to figure out if Qiao Qiao had heard what they were talking about. Everyone looked at each other. No one said anything. The atmosphere was awkward. Seeing that no one was saying anything, Qiao Qiao smiled and carried the five bags to the desk beside her. l bought this coffee downstairs. Everyone has a share, You guys split it. Ill go to work first. Even though Qiao Qiao had spoken, no one dared to move. After all, they had just discussed this Missy of the Corporation. Now that they had received this Missys coffee, everyone was really embarrassed to drink it. Qiao Qiao looked around with a gentle smile on her face. Seeing that no one dared to come forward to get coffee, she smiled and said, Everyone, dont be restrained. I wont eat people. Take advantage of the fact that the coffee is hot now. Everyone, come and drink it. With that, Qiao Qiao took out a cup of hot latte from the bag and handed it to a female colleague standing closest to her. Were all colleagues from the same department at the bottom. Well help each other in the future, dont you think? The female colleague took the cup of hot latte guiltily and replied with a dry smile, Yes, yes. Qiao Qiao gave a fake smile. Im leaving. Aye, okay, the female colleague said quickly. As soon as Qiao Qiao left, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief. The colleague who had started the conversation just now said in a sighing tone, Who said that this Missy doesnt have a temper and looks like shes easy to bully? Did you see the aura when she came in just now? Its almost comparable to President Qiaos aura! Another female colleague echoed, Yes, and Im sure she heard what we were talking about just now. In the future, keep your mouths shut. If she complains to President Qiao when shes unhappy, President Qiao will have to put on an act to give her an explanation. One or two of us will definitely suffer.. Chapter 558 - Chapter 558: It’s Very Difficult to Like, and You Can Meet All Difficulties (2) Chapter 558: Its Very Difficult to Like, and You Can Meet All Difficulties (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The moment that was said, no one dared to make a sound. It was mainly because they were afraid of becoming the one who would be made an example of. The first thing Qiao Qiao did when she returned to her office was pour herself a glass of water. She only calmed down a little after drinking an entire cup of warm water. Although she looked like she was not angry just now, she was actually furious. She knew that it wouldnt be long before Shao Jingmo completely controlled the entire Deep Blue Corporation, but she still felt very uncomfortable when she heard those words from those people. She sulked alone for a while before starting the days work. Jingcheng did not come in until noon. She was still thinking that she should be here with Shao Jingmo for lunch today, so she waited first and did not order takeout first. Although the company had a canteen, she was not familiar with this place. Moreover, there were too many people in the canteen, so she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable. It was better to wait for Shao Jingmo to come down and eat together. So she waited until one-thirty. Before the lunch from Shao Jingmo and Jingcheng arrived, Dou Ying arrived. Dou Ying came over to check on the work Qiao Qiao had completed today. When she was checking, she casually asked, What did you eat for lunch? Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing. Dou Ying didnt hear anything and turned to look at Qiao Qiao. Seeing her tense face, she asked, Did you order something not delicious? Look at your bitter expression. Qiao Qiao sighed and lied casually. l ordered Malatang. I like coriander, but they didnt put it in for me. To me, without coriander, theres no soul. Im not happy eating it. Dou Ying burst out laughing. Are you angry about this? Qiao Qiao said, Yes. Alright, its just coriander. Theres plenty in the companys canteen. Next time, go to the canteen to eat. If the takeout you ordered did not have coriander, just go to the canteen to get a serving, Dou Ying said. Qiao Qiao nodded. Okay. After checking Qiao Qiaos work and finding nothing wrong, Dou Ying was very satisfied. After praising her, she handed Qiao Qiao another set of data to check. When she was about to leave after giving her instructions, she was stopped by Qiao Qiao. Secretary Dou! Dou Ying turned around and raised her slender eyebrows. Huh? Qiao Qiao had been sitting down and was about to ask Dou Ying something when she stood up. She struggled in her heart for a long time before she mustered up the courage to ask, Is-is President Qiao very busy today? Dou Ying did not look very surprised by Qiao Qiaos question. l saw that you were distracted just now. Did you not dare to ask President Qiao? Qiao Qiao looked a little unnatural, but she admitted, Yes, hes my Little Uncle. I havent seen him all this time, so I wanted to ask if hes very busy today. Not very busy, Dou Ying said. Qiao Qiaos heart sank and she lowered her eyes. l understand. Dou Ying said, President Qiao went on a business trip. As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Qiao looked up with a surprised reaction. Hes on a business trip? Yes. Dou Ying told Qiao Qiao the truth. Its an impromptu and urgent meeting in Long City. Hell be back at three in the afternoon. Qiao Qiao nodded. So he went to Long City for a business trip. She thought it was very far. She nodded to show that she understood and thanked her. Thank you, Secretary Dou. Dou Ying said meaningfully, Youre welcome. I know President Qiaos schedule very well. If you want to ask in the future, just ask me. Qiao Qiao nodded. Okay. After Dou Ying left, Qiao Qiao immediately took out her phone and opened the takeout software. After choosing and not finding anything she really wanted to eat, she felt that she was not that hungry. Thinking about how she had lied to Dou Ying just now, would Dou Ying really not find out if she ordered takeout now? She might as well go to the cafe downstairs and eat some dessert. A few minutes later, Qiao Qiao appeared in the cafe downstairs. She ordered a mousse and a chocolate lava. She didnt really want coffee, so she ordered a strawberry Frappuccino. Shed barely eaten when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the glass window. On a closer look, it looked like Jingcheng. He had just gotten out of a black car. Wasnt that the car Shao Jingmo usually drove? From the angle she was sitting, she could vaguely see Shao Jingmo sitting in the back seat. As she watched, she supported her chin and muttered to herself, Didnt Secretary Dou say that he wont be back until three in the afternoon? Its still ten minutes to two He actually came back more than an hour early.. Chapter 559 - Chapter 559: It’s Very Difficult to Like, and You Can Meet All Difficulties (3) Chapter 559: Its Very Difficult to Like, and You Can Meet All Difficulties (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao was wondering if she should go out and take a look when another figure appeared in her vision. When she looked over, she saw that it was Song Qiao Qiao suddenly sat up straight and stared intently at Song Yun. Song Yun walked to the car door and then bent down to get into the car at Jingchengs signal. Jingcheng closed the car door and went to sit in the front passenger seat. The car quickly disappeared from Qiao Qiaos sight. Qiao Qiao retracted her dry gaze and continued to eat the mousse. As a result, the more she ate, the more tasteless it became. She wondered if someone had secretly changed the mousse cake for her when she was looking outside just now. After thinking about it, she took out her phone and dialed Shao Jingmos number. Only then did she feel the sweetness of the mousse cake. It rang a few times. Shao Jingmo picked it up. Qiao Qiao said first, Little Uncle, I heard from Secretary Dou that you went to Long City on a business trip? Her voice was steady, not much different from usual. Shao Jingmo replied, Yes. Qiao Qiaos tone became much lighter. Are you back? If youre not back yet, bring me a wax-stained shawl. One of the specialties of Long City was wax dye. Because Long City was close to Xingzhou, she had gone there several times in the past and even bought two wax-dyed shawls. That was why she suddenly mentioned this on the phone. It was fine if Shao Jingmo said that he had returned to Xingzhou. If he said he wasnt back yet and promised to help buy it, even if he ended up with a waxed shawl, it would probably be bought in Xingzhou. Shao Jingmo did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked, You only want one? Qiao Qiao said, Yes, one is enough. Shao Jingmo said, Ill buy you two. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and asked tentatively, Are you coming back to Xingzhou? Shao Jingmo said, Yes, Im preparing to go back. Its just right to buy it now. Upon hearing this, Qiaos expression immediately changed and she found a fake excuse. Little Uncle, Ill hang up first. Secretary Dou said that there was an error in the data I checked. Ill check again. She looked anxious, then hung up in a hurry. She put away her cell phone and looked at the table. There was still a lot of mousse left. She had not touched the chocolate lava at all, and she had only taken a sip of the Strawberry Frappuccino. However, she did not want to eat or drink it now, so she left it all here. She returned to her office to continue working. At five in the afternoon, she left the company early and took a taxi home. Seeing that she had come back alone, Mother Qiao and Father Qiao were very worried. Qiao Qiao said indifferently, l cant always rely on him. I have to rely on my luck. If Im unlucky, theres nothing 1 can do. Its my bad luck to meet the Bai family. She finished indifferently and went to sit on the sofa. She bent her knees and hugged her legs as she turned on the television. Mother Qiao came over to ask about the situation, but Qiao Qiao replied listlessly, Mom, nothing happened. Im just a little tired because its been too long since Ive had such a formal job. Mother Qiao said, A little tired? Why do I feel that youre like those young ladies in television dramas who have fallen out of love? Qiao Qiao: Buzz buzz buzz. The phone rang. Qiao Qiao didnt look at who was calling, nor did she have any intention of answering. She displayed her temper to the fullest, and no one knew why she was like this. This feeling was actually quite good. She didnt want everyone to know what she was thinking, so she had to hide it in her heart and not tell anyone. Qiao Guigui, the phone, the phone! Mother Qiao reminded her. Qiao Qiao didnt move. Mother Qiao picked up her phone. Its Jingmo. Arent you answering? Qiao Qiao said. Answer it. Mother Qiao hesitated for a moment before picking up Shao Jingmos call to Qiao Qiao. Hello, Jingmo. Shao Jingmo could tell that it wasnt Qiao Qiaos voice on the phone, and he could also tell that it was Mother Qiaos voice. He didnt change the way he addressed Jiang Lin and Qiao Ruzhang, but it wasnt appropriate to call them by their names directly, so he called out, Mrs. Qiao. Jiang Lin replied, Its me. Shao Jingmo asked, Wheres Guigui? Jiang Lin turned to look at Qiao Qiao and replied, She just got home and is watching television. In order to smooth things over, Jiang Lin specially added, Shes been watching a non-nutritious soap opera recently. Shes so engrossed that she cant hear the phone. Look, I answered it for her. The call went quiet for more than ten seconds. Until Shao Jingmo said, Okay, I understand. Im on my way back. Ill hang up first. Aye, okay. Jiang Lin finished the call and handed the phone to Qiao Qiao. Here, your phone. Qiao Qiao said, Mom, put the phone there. Jiang Lin sighed softly, then silently placed the phone on the coffee table in front of Qiao Qiao before leaving. Ten minutes later, Shao Jingmo returned home. He was carrying a bag. No one else could see what was in it. At this moment, it was not time to eat. When he saw Qiao Qiao sitting on the sofa watching television, he carried the bag over. Mrs. Qiao said that you were watching a soap opera and were very engrossed in it. So its cats and mice. Qiao Qiao corrected him. Tom and Jerry. Shao Jingmo replied with a nod. He was not in a hurry to ask her why she went home first without informing him in advance. Instead, he handed her the bag in his hand. You specially called to ask for the wax-dyed shawl. I bought you two. Qiao Qiao turned to look at the bag Shao Jingmo had handed her. After a moment of silence, she reached out to take it. Thank you, Little Uncle. 1 found it quite troublesome after calling you. Little Uncle, thank you. Shao Jingmo looked at her cold eyes and did not know why she was in a bad mood. He replied, As long as you like it. Actually, I dont like it that much. She tugged at the corners of her lips and tilted her head back to tell him, Its just that I suddenly wanted a new one on a whim, but when I remembered that I already had one, I didnt like it so much. Shao Jingmo frowned and walked closer to ask, Qiao Guigui, whats wrong? Qiao Qiao grinned and shrugged indifferently. Nothings wrong with me. I might be a little willful. Little Uncle, Im very sorry, but this is my personality. I cant change it. Im always willful. Also, dont be so good to me in the future. I wont cherish your kindness. Instead, Ill cause you trouble.. Chapter 560 - Chapter 560: Light Kiss (1) Chapter 560: Light Kiss (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao had always been reluctant to admit that she was a willful person. Back then, she dared to go against Shao Jingmo when she was young. She even ran away from home for three years in a fit of anger. She had always lived a free and unrestrained life, like the wind. Now, she was willing to admit that she was a willful person in front of Shao Jingmo. She was so willful that he was helpless and had a headache. Are you angry with me? Shao Jingmo asked as he sat down beside her. Qiao Qiao shook her head. How would I dare to be angry with you? Little Uncle, youre thinking too much. How could Shao Jingmo not tell if she was angry? He knew her too well. Anger was always on her face, and she could not hide it at all. He thought about the reason for her anger for a moment before asking tentatively, E ls it because I didnt wait for you when I went out this morning, or because I didnt tell you that I was on a business trip today? Actually, he didnt think she would be angry about these things. She had never paid attention to or cared about him. Naturally, she didnt need his schedule. If he took the initiative to tell her his schedule or do anything every day, she would definitely find it annoying. At this moment, Qiao Qiao slowly pursed her lips. Shao Jingmo observed the change in her expression. He didnt seem to have guessed correctly. If he had, she wouldnt have the same expression. He could only continue to think about why she was angry, but before he could figure it out, he saw Qiao Qiao lower her bent legs and shuffle into her slippers, ready to leave. Shao Jingmo raised his hand and grabbed her wrist. Where are you going? Qiao Qiao tried to pull her wrist back and tried twice without success. She said impatiently, Leave me alone. Shao Jingmo said, Im your uncle in name, and your husband in name. MJhy dont you choose an identity to control you? Or you dont have to choose at all. No matter what identity I have, I can control you legitimately. Shao Jingmo, I dont want to talk to you now. Qiao Qiao looked very angry. l dont want to say a word to you. Please let go of my hand. Shao Jingmo did not let go. He stood up and blocked her way. Its almost dinner. Where are you going? Qiao Qiao said, Im full. Im full of anger! Shao Jingmo asked, Have you eaten? Qiao Qiao didnt look happy at all. None of your business. Shao Jingmo was extremely patient. Qiao Guigui. Qiao Qiao turned her face to the side and repeated three times, l didnt hear you! I didnt hear you! 1 didnt hear you! She made the most of her willfulness. A personality as unreasonable as hers was probably intolerable to anyone. Even Qiao Qiao thought that Shao Jingmo would definitely be annoyed if she did it again. Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a faint heat coming from her ear. He asked her word by word, Qiao Guigui, do you hear me now? Qiao Qiao instinctively turned her head. Actually, she had expected Shao Jingmo to be very close to her, but she hadnt expected his lips to brush against hers. It passed so quickly she didnt even realize theyd kissed. She didnt feel that kissed and electrocuted feeling. Perhaps it was because this kiss wasnt much like a kiss. It was an accidental skin rub between the two of them. Even when she took the initiative to kiss Shao Jingmo last time, she did not feel this way. She didnt feel dizzy, reminiscent, or overwhelmed. It turned out that kissing wasnt as exciting as watching an idol drama. Qiao Guigui. Shao Jingmos pupils darkened as he called her in a low voice. Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and looked into his dark and deep eyes. Her anger turned into reproach uncontrollably. Why are you suddenly so close to me! Shao Jingmo slowly stood up straight. Qiao Qiao could see his Adams apple bobbing slightly, and his expression was slightly restrained. There was no change in his expression as he said in a light and indifferent tone, You were the one who said that you couldnt hear me. I thought that you would be able to hear me if I leaned closer. Qiao Qiao stomped her feet. That was out of anger. Shao Jingmo said, l didnt have any experience before, so I didnt realize it, but I have experience now. Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment. Experience? Shao Jingmo had a serious expression. There will always be a period of adaptability when two people are trying to get along. Qiao Qiao pouted. Tsk, I thought you meant inexperienced because youve never had a girlfriend. But thats obviously unrealistic. Little Uncle, youve had a truckload of girlfriends at your age, right? She didnt mean it. She knew very well that it was a slip of the tongue. It was also a reminder that she, a white paper, almost liked a newspaper. Fortunately, she had finally seen him clearly today.. Chapter 561 - Chapter 561: Light Kiss (2) Chapter 561: Light Kiss (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmos voice turned cold. Without explaining anything, he followed her words. Thats right. Just like you said, how can 1 not have had a woman at my age? Ive had many women before. Ive never raised many. One at a time. Raise? Qiao Qiao caught this keyword. Whoa, youre really something. You dont date seriously, but youre raising lovers, right? Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Its so troublesome to have a girlfriend. I still have to chase her away after breaking up. Just raise one every time. After our relationship ends, shell take the money and leave. Then Ill change to the next one. Qiao Qiao silently gritted her molars and glared at Shao Jingmo angrily. However, Shao Jingmo did not mind her gaze. Do you still want to know more about my private life? I wont describe the details. Youre still young, so its not appropriate for you to hear too much. But I can still tell you how many people Ive dated and what style I like. Who wants to hear about your affairs! Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth. Im not interested at all. Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Then I wont say anything. l dont like to hear it either. Qiao Qiao left angrily. Shao Jingmo grabbed her wrist and reminded her in a low voice, l told you to go upstairs after dinner. His cold tone was unquestionable. Qiao Qiao had been afraid of his expression in the past. Although he wasnt fierce to her, his aura was intimidating. As time passed, she avoided him every time she saw him. But now, she realized that she wasnt afraid at all even when Shao Jingmo put on the expression she was most afraid of in the past. But she hated it when he relied on his strength to hold her wrist and not let go! In a fit of anger, Qiao Qiao raised his hand and bit down on his wrist. She bit down hard. However, no matter how hard or painful it was, Shao Jingmo did not even frown. He even teased her, Is it because you havent had dinner that you dont have much strength? Qiao Qiao bit harder. When she released her mouth, she swung it hard again. This time, she actually shook off his hand. Didnt you say I didnt have the strength? Didnt it hurt? Then why didnt I use much strength to shake you off? she sneered. Shao Jingmo looked at her face that had regained its vivid emotions. Have you vented your anger? Im not angry. She sat down again. From the looks of it, she was not leaving. She sat there obediently and waited for dinner. Tonights dinner was clearly different from usual. Usually, Qiao Qiao would cooperate with Shao Jingmo to show Old Master Qiao the details of the good relationship between husband and wife. Tonight, Qiao Qiao didnt even act. She ate with a cold expression the entire time. She had not eaten lunch and was extremely hungry now. She looked like she had not eaten for three days. Mother Qiao was very worried and said, Eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you. Be careful not to choke. Im hungry. Her cheeks puffed and her words slurred. Mother Qiao asked, Then what did you have for lunch? This time, Qiao Qiao swallowed before answering. 1 didnt have much of an appetite at noon. I didnt eat. You didnt eat lunch? Mother Qiaos voice rose several decibels. The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly fell silent. Mother Qiao looked at Qiao Qiao, Father Qiao looked at Qiao Qiao, Old Master Qiao looked at Qiao Qiao, and even Shao Jingmo looked at her. Qiao Qiao wasnt used to everyone looking at her at once. l just dont have an appetite, so I didnt eat. Mother Qiao said angrily, Even if you dont have an appetite, you have to eat some snacks to fill your stomach. You cant not eat anything. Its not good for your stomach, understand? Qiao Qiao said perfunctorily, Its just this once. It wont happen again. Its only one time now. If I dont nag till your ears have calluses, there will be three or four more times in the future. Over time, this stomach disease will accumulate, Do you think I dont know that all illnesses are dragged out of you young people? Mother Qiaos words rendered Qiao Qiao speechless. Old Master Qiao put down his chopsticks and said, Once a person is unhappy, they wont have an appetite. However, you have to remember your mothers words just now. No matter how bad your mood is, you cant treat your body badly. Qiao Qiao nodded. l know. Grandpa, dont look at me. Hurry up and eat. Father Qiao also said a few words. Only Shao Jingmo was very quiet. The next day. Qiao Qiao didnt go to the company with Shao Jingmo. She asked Father Qiao to send her. Just as Father Qiao was about to agree, Shao Jingmo asked, Will you never go to the company with me again? Qiao Qiao replied, Yes. Shao Jingmo did not force her to leave with him. He said to her, Up to you.. Chapter 562 - Chapter 562: Light Kiss (3) Chapter 562: Light Kiss (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Then he was out the door. Qiao Qiao watched as Shao Jingmo left without hesitation. Her mouth moved and she cursed silently. In the next few days, Qiao Qiao maintained her principles and didnt go out with Shao Jingmo. She also ate lunch by herself. Other than meeting at home for breakfast and dinner, she rarely saw him at the company during the day. The stalemate lasted for more than a month. During this period, Qiao Qiao gradually became familiar with the companys business. Under Dou Yings lead, she followed a development team project and worked on it for more than a month. The product was still in the testing stage. There was still some time before the acceptance stage. Qiao Qiao was sent out to meet a customer. When she met the client, Qiao Qiao was very reserved. However, she had seriously remembered the words Secretary Dou had given her and knew how to deal with it. The client was a woman in her thirties. She wore rimless glasses and looked extremely gentle. Qiao Qiao believed in vision and thought that the client she met for the first time was very easy to get along with. In the end, she was difficult to get along with. The coffee was changed four times, and the dessert was changed twice. When Qiao Qiao introduced herself, she expressed in the gentlest words, Your hair color doesnt suit you very well. It looks a little abrupt. In order not to offend the client, Qiao Qiao said in a fawning tone, 1 dyed it before. It faded and became like this. Ill dye it back tomorrow. The female client smiled. Go on. Qiao Qiao finally finished her self-introduction and began to explain to the other party about the market for this product. Perhaps it was her first time meeting a client, but Qiao Qiao!s tone of introduction was not so smooth. After many pauses, the female client frowned. Did you enter Deep Blue last autumn? Qiao Qiao became even more nervous at being interrupted. No, Im not. The female client said, Any old employee with a little experience shouldnt be like you. The words like you were not in a good tone. She looked down on Qiao Qiaos business ability. Qiao Qiao smiled apologetically. Sorry, I just joined the company at the beginning of this year. Female client: With connections? Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. l The female client interrupted. You dont have to tell me everything. After all, Im not a household registrar. You were the one who insisted on asking, and now you wont allow me to answer Never mind. Youre God! Qiao Qiao kept cursing in her heart, but she maintained a smile on her face. Okay, then l The female client reached for her coffee and ran her arm along the table, so when she took it, the information on the table was scattered on the floor. The female client was surprised. Ah, why did it fall to the ground? Its okay, its okay. Ill pick it up. With that, Qiao Qiao quickly squatted down and picked up all the information. At this moment, a shiny leather shoe stepped on the information. Qiao Qiao wanted to say who was so immoral as to insist on stepping on it at this moment, but before she could look up clearly, her arm was grabbed and pulled up. Little Uncle? Qiao Qiao was very surprised. Why was he here? When did he arrive? It had been a long time since shed seen him at work. Qiao Qiaos mind was filled with question marks. The female client had seen Shao Jingmo the moment he stepped into the cafe. She immediately stood up and called out nervously, President Qiao. Shao Jingmo pushed Qiao Qiao to a chair and sat down. Jingcheng immediately moved a chair to Qiao Qiaos side. Shao Jingmo unbuttoned his jacket with one hand and sat down beside Qiao Qiao. This is the first time my niece is out to meet a client. 1 was worried and was afraid that she would be bullied, so I came over to take a look. The female clients expression changed. Niece? This woman was President Qiaos niece?! Qiao Thats right, her surname was also Qiao, but she had not expected her to be President Qiaos niece. No, no, nothing at all. The female client said in fear, l had a good chat with Miss Qiao. Ive also seen the product this time. Im looking forward to it. Shao Jingmo didnt seem to have heard what the female client said. He casually glanced at the ground. Whats on the ground? Ah? Oh, its the product information. I accidentally dropped it on the ground just now. As she spoke, the female customer immediately squatted down. l accidentally dropped it on the ground, so I should be the one to pick it up. Miss Qiao was too enthusiastic just now. I was quite embarrassed. Shao Jingmo did not move his foot away from the documents. He just looked down at the female client quietly as she picked up the documents on the ground. Until the female client said carefully, President Qiao, move your feet a little. Shao Jingmo smiled. Sorry, I didnt notice. Not at all. I accidentally scattered too much information. The female client smiled apologetically. Qiao Qiao had finally seen what it meant to say that there was always a higher mountain. However, compared to Shao Jingmo, the female client was like a small hill meeting a mountain! She was so arrogant just now and made things difficult for her. The moment Shao Jingmo appeared, she immediately tucked her tail between her legs. She could only be bullied when she was alone outside, but the moment Shao Jingmo appeared, she immediately soared into the sky. Shao Jingmo had no intention of leaving when he arrived. The female client was clearly afraid of Shao Jingmo!s aura and reached a cooperation with Qiao Qiao in fear. Before she left, she did not forget to apologize to Qiao Qiao, afraid that Qiao Qiao would hold a grudge. By the time she was far away, Qiao Qiao turned her head and asked, Why a_re you here? Shao Jingmos answer to her was, l happened to pass by. Qiao Qiao said, l dont believe you. Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways. Otherwise, do you think I can teleport over to help you when I know that youre being bullied? Qiao Qiao was speechless. She got up and put away the information on the table. Thank you, she said to him. Then she prepared to leave first. After taking a few steps, she heard Shao Jingmo ask her, Youve been angry for more than a month. When will you calm down? Qiao Qiao stopped in her tracks and turned to ask, Are you waiting for me to calm down? Shao Jingmo buttoned the front of his abdomen and stood up to look at her. Answer me. Have you calmed down? No. She turned and walked away. She thought to herself that even if she was no longer angry, how could he ask that? Even if she was not angry, she would become angry. When she was about to reach the door, she heard Shao Jingmo remind her, There will be some movements in the Bai family recently. Be careful. Qiao Qiaos expression changed. In the next second, she retreated to Shao Jingmos side as quickly as possible. What is the Bai family doing? Shao Jingmo said, l dont know. Qiao Qiao frowned. Youre kidding me. Shao Jingmo said, Make your own judgment. He knew that this was the first time she had seen a client alone today. So he had followed her all the way and sat in the car outside for so long. When he saw that she was bullied, he came in immediately to help her out. He spent the entire day on her. There were still mountains of company matters to deal with. He was ready to go back to the office now. He had just taken a step when she grabbed his cuff. She turned around and met that pitiful face. Little Uncle, you cant ignore me. Shao Jingmo looked at her for a moment and replied in a low voice, Ive never ignored you.. Chapter 563 - Chapter 563: Hook His Legs With High Heels (1) Chapter 563: Hook His Legs With High Heels (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Actually, theres no need Before Qiao Qiao could finish speaking, Shao Jingmo interrupted her. Theres only one car. Do you want the chauffeur to take you back to the company first, or do you want to go back together? The two of them were standing on the steps outside the cafe. Qiao Qiao said, Let me finish. Shao Jingmo raised his hand to look at his watch and frowned slightly. Its getting late. Get in the car and return to the company first. Ill get another car. Shao Jingmo, dont keep interrupting! Qiao Qiao said angrily. Shao Jingmos expression was not too good. My time is very expensive. I cant waste it all here, Jingcheng. Jingcheng, who had been standing at the back, came forward. Third Master. Shao Jingmo instructed, Send her back to the company. Jingcheng would never ask Shao Jingmo how to arrange it. He would only follow Shao Jingmos arrangements. He nodded and gestured to Qiao Qiao. Miss, get in the car first. Qiao Qiao ignored Jingcheng and walked around to Shao Jingmo. didnt say I wouldnt sit in the same car as you. Shao Jingmo looked down at her. l asked you. Qiao Qiao said self-righteously, But I didnt answer. You made the decision on your own. Shao Jingmo said, Qiao Guigui, speak properly. Qiao Qiao changed her tone. I shouldnt be so self-righteous. Im sorry. Shao Jingmo said, Im not asking you to apologize. l cherish my life. Is this okay? She was holding back a belly full of anger. Shao Jingmo looked at her quietly for a few seconds. This look made Qiao Qiao think that he was going to say a few more words. He did, but what he said was, This expression is very ugly. Qiao Qiao: Shao Jingmo said, Get in the car first. After Qiao Qiao got into the car, Shao Jingmo took out his phone and called back the missed call. A few minutes later, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo took the same car on the way back to the company. The chauffeur was Jingcheng. She was very obedient and quiet. She did not take the initiative to make her presence known in front of him. As for the distance between the two of them, it was not far. On the other hand, Shao Jingmo was closer to the window. Thinking about what she had said to Shao Jingmo today, it seemed to add up to more than what they had said in the past month or so. Ever since they fell out, she was not used to it at first. After about seven to eight days, she adapted. On that day, Shao Jingmo was probably really angry with her. If she didnt take the initiative to talk to him, he wouldnt even pay attention to her. Ha, stinky man. She didnt know if he still had a woman, but even if he did, he probably wouldnt let her find out. If she accidentally exposed him one day, it wouldnt be good for Shao Jingmos reputation. Bah, bah, bah. Qiao Qiao secretly pinched her hands. She was actually worried about Shao Jingmos reputation. Why hadnt he thought about his reputation when he played with so many women? Why are you pinching yourself for no reason? Shao Jingmos voice came from beside him. He saw her pinching her hands. Qiao Qiao suddenly came back to her senses and let go of her hand. Without denying it, she said casually, Im pinching it for fun. Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways. Inconvenient? Qiao Qiao shook her head. No. She suddenly couldnt hold it in anymore and took the initiative to move closer to him. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Shao Jingmo turn around and look out of the car window, looking like he refused to talk. Qiao Qiao pouted. Tsk! She crossed her legs. The toe of her high heels poked the end of the front seat from time to time. Because she was meeting a client today, she was dressed more formally. She wore pencil jeans with a loose white shirt, and her high heels were pointed. Green veins appeared on the back of her snow-white feet. That was what very thin people did. She stared at the tips of her high heels for a few seconds. Suddenly, she had a bad idea. She slowly moved her leg towards Shao Jingmo, and the tip of her shoe was close to Shao Jingmos trouser leg. Then, she continued to sway her toes like before. When she swayed more, she would brush against Shao Jingmo!s trouser leg. The first time she brushed past him, Shao Jingmo did not react. The second time she brushed against it, Shao Jingmo turned to look at her, but he didnt say anything. He only reminded her with his eyes. On the third time, Shao Jingmo stretched out his arm and pulled her over. Qiao Qiao didnt expect him to make a move directly. By the time she reacted, she was already in front of Shao Jingmo. She nudged him. Dont get touchy. Shao Jingmo kindly reminded her, Who touched me first? She was the one who moved her foot first and hooked him three times.. Chapter 564 - Chapter 564: Hook His Legs With High Heels (2) Chapter 564: Hook His Legs With High Heels (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The first time, she didnt restrain herself. The second time, she didnt restrain herself. The third time, she became even more unrestrained. She simply deserved a beating. Qiao Qiao refused to admit it. Im a girl with good morals. Would I do anything to you? Obviously not, so it must be your imagination. Heh Shao Jingmo chuckled. Its just my imagination. Qiao Qiao said, Thats right. Shao Jingmo retracted his hand and pushed her away. Youre getting better at distorting the truth and spouting nonsense. Qiao Qiao was depressed by Shao Jingmos behavior. One second, he was holding her tightly in his arms, and the next, he pushed her away coldly. She looked at his cold side profile and said, Scumbag. Shao Jingmo said, Not as much as you. Qiao Qiao retorted, You wont have a chance to do that to me. I wont give you a chance to be a scumbag with me. Shao Jingmo said, Youll get your wish. Qiao Qiao choked. Jingcheng, who was driving in front, was sweating profusely. Third Master had not interacted with Missy for a month, and the moment he did, he would speak coldly. Although he could understand that Missy was being too noisy, if Third Master continued to be in a deadlock, how could he take the next step with Missy? As a bodyguard, Jingcheng was very worried. However, he couldnt say anything. After all, work was more important than persuasion. He knew better. Buzz buzz buzz. Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz Shao Jingmo, your phone is ringing, Qiao Qiao reminded him. Shao Jingmo ignored her. Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz His cell phone kept vibrating, but Shao Jingmo didnt answer. Qiao Qiao was anxious for him. She urged him a second time. Shao Jingmo, didnt you hear your phone ring? If you dont plan to answer, can you turn off the vibration too? Shao Jingmo glanced sideways. Why dont you pick it up? Qiao Qiao looked away. Its not my call. Why should I answer it? Shao Jingmo smiled but still did not pick up the phone. After that, the call came twice more, but to Qiao Qiaos surprise, Shao Jingmo never answered the phone. Under normal circumstances, if it was a call that annoyed him, there was no need to answer it. He could just block it so that the call wouldnt keep coming in. However, Shao Jingmo did not even look at his cell phone or blacklist the other party. He let the other party call again and again. Although curious, Qiao Qiao wouldnt ask. She kept quiet and didnt ask anything else. Back at the office. The automatic door opened and Qiao Qiao got out first. She walked in without looking back. As she walked, she suddenly felt guilty. She felt that Shao Jingmo had helped her out today. No matter what, it could be considered a favor. It was better to restrain her temper. She should at least tell him before she leaves. Hence, she turned around and specifically told Shao Jingmo. In the end, when she turned around, she saw Jingcheng standing there. Shao Jingmo and the car had already disappeared. Miss, did you forget something in the car? Jingcheng hurriedly walked forward and asked. In his opinion, Missy might have left something personal in the car when she suddenly rushed back. Qiao Qiao shook her head and then asked, Where did Little Uncle go? Jing Cheng said, Uh, Third Master, he, he Forget it. Its none of my business where he goes. Qiao Qiao turned around and left. Jingcheng immediately followed Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao realized that Jingcheng was following her. She turned her head and said, You dont have to follow me in the company. Go do what you need to do. Come back when 1 get off work. Jingcheng frowned. Third Master has instructed me to follow you closely. 1 have to listen to him. Qiao Qiao could tell that something was wrong with Jingchengs expression. But why do you look so aggrieved? Is it very aggrieved for you to follow me? No, no. Jingcheng shook his head and replied, Im just worried Its nothing. Missy, go in first. Ill try to stay as far away from you as possible so that you wont be so upset to see me. Qiao Qiao: No, something was very wrong! Jingchengs expression didnt look right no matter how she looked at it. It was as if something was wrong. She suddenly remembered that in the car just now, Shao Jingmo did not pick up the call three times. Could something really have happened? Jingcheng, Qiao Qiao shouted sternly. Jingcheng stuttered. Miss, Miss, why are you suddenly so serious? Qiao Qiao came over and asked, Where did Little Uncle go? Jingcheng shook his head. Qiao Qiao asked, What do you mean by shaking your head? Dont know or cant say? Jingcheng was very honest. Other than instructing me to follow you closely, Third Master also instructed me not to say anything to you.. Chapter 565 - Chapter 565: Hook His Legs With High Heels (3) Chapter 565: Hook His Legs With High Heels (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations You cant talk too much, right? Qiao Qiao turned around and left. Ill tell Little Uncle tonight that you didnt follow the code of due diligence and left me to go out to play alone in the company. Jingcheng followed Qiao Qiaos footsteps and said as he walked, Miss, tell me yourself. Will Third Master believe you? Qiao Qiao said, Then Ill get Little Uncle to fire you. Jingcheng said, No, Third Master wont fire me. Seeing that Jingcheng was stubborn, Qiao Qiao snorted. Im the lady boss now. Shao Jingmos woman in name. I can fire you on his behalf. Jingcheng was terrified. Miss, dont talk me out of it so easily. Ill tell you, but you cant tell my Third Master. They entered the elevator at the same time. There was no one else in the elevator at this time, only Qiao Qiao and Jingcheng. Qiao Qiao leaned against the elevator wall and snorted with laughter. Are you stupid? How could 1 tell him? Next, Jingcheng honestly explained to Qiao Qiao why Shao Jingmo didnt answer the phone and where he had gone after sending her back to the company Qiao Qiao frantically pressed the elevator switch. Jingcheng was stunned for a few seconds, then asked in a daze, Miss, what are you doing? Qiao Qiao wasnt very calm. Of course to find Shao Jingmo. Jing Cheng asked, Miss, do you know where Third Master is? Qiao Qiao turned her head and looked confused for a few seconds. Isnt it the Bai family? l didnt say that Third Master went to the Bai family. I only said that Third Master went to meet the people from the Bai family. However, the venue was decided by the Bai family, but its definitely not in the Bai residence, Jingcheng said. Qiao Qiao slowly retracted her hand from pressing the elevator switch. He beat up that person from the Bai family last time. Wont he be in danger when he goes to see the Bai family this time? She did not deny that when she heard from Jingcheng that Shao Jingmo had gone to see the Bai family, her mind was filled with other than going to Shao Jingmos side, she was also worried about his safety. Miss, dont worry. Third Master has his own arrangements before doing anything. Although Third Master left me by your side, this doesnt mean that Third Master doesnt have other bodyguards by his side. Moreover, with Third Masters current status and influence in Xingzhou, the Bai family isnt just stupid enough to dare to attack Third Master. Jingchengs words calmed Qiao Qiao down a lot. The Bai family was at least afraid of Shao Jingmos current status in Xingzhou. Perhaps they were just sitting down to drink tea and chat this time. There was no need to make a fuss. And there was still more than a month before her birthday Qiao Qiao wasnt in the mood to work this afternoon. From time to time, she would ask Jingcheng, who was standing in the corner like a statue, Is Little Uncle back? Jingcheng shook his head. Miss, not yet. Qiao Qiao was very disappointed. Even though she asked every once in a while, it was still the same answer. It was time to get off work in the afternoon. When they got into the car, Qiao Qiao tried to persuade Jingcheng. Why dont we pick up Little Uncle first? Jingcheng said, l cant go without Third Masters order and address. Qiao Qiao said angrily, Although its unlikely that the Bai family will act rashly, arent you worried that something will happen to him? Jingcheng didnt say anything and focused on driving. Qiao Qiao silently took out her phone and called Shao Jingmo. The other party couldnt picked up the call for the time being. It was still the same as before. She didnt know if he deliberately didnt answer her call to make her worry. Oh no, he could be inconvenient to answer. After all, he didnt know shed worry about him. Back at the Qiao residence. Qiao Qiao didnt show any strange expression in front of Father and Mother Qiao. During the meal, everyone seemed to have an unspoken mutual understanding not to mention Shao Jingmo. At that moment, Qiao Qiao understood that her parents and grandfather knew that Shao Jingmo had gone to see the Bai family today. Only she didnt know. And she shamelessly found out from Jingcheng later. Late at night. Qiao Qiao heard the engine of a car. Although it was very soft, she was not asleep at this time, so she heard it very clearly. She immediately got out of bed and quickly went to the window and looked down. When she saw the car, her eyes were filled with smiles. Youre back. She quickly shuffled out the door and slipped around the corner of the stairs to wait for him to come up. Listening to the approaching footsteps, she timed her appearance and appeared in front of Shao Jingmo. Youre back. Shao Jingmo did not react in shock or surprise. He raised his hand and loosened his tie. Youre still awake. Seeing his expressionless face, Qiao Qiao quickly restrained her smile and asked carefully, Did the negotiation with the Bai family collapse? Ill see if youre injured. Did the Bai family No. Shao Jingmo pushed her away and walked past her. Im fine. Go to bed early. Dont stay up late. I stayed up late because of you. I dont usually stay up late. She didnt know why hed given her a cold face as soon as she got back. Come to think of it, was it because of the argument with her a month ago? It seemed so. He had ignored her in the car today. Qiao Qiao followed him. l know you went to see the Bai family. You dont have to ask me how I knew. I forced Jingcheng to tell me. I was just very a little worried about you. Shao Jingmo had already walked to his bedroom door, and Qiao Qiao had followed him here. He turned sideways. Nothing happened when I met the Bai family. Dont worry. Go back to sleep early. With that, he opened the bedroom door and was about to go in. When he turned around, Qiao Qiao grabbed his tie and questioned him angrily, Shao Jingmo, why are you so strange? Sometimes youre especially good to me, and sometimes youre especially cold to me, as if Im your emotional trash can. Ive ignored you for a month, but you really didnt take the initiative to say a word to me. Am I still your wife?! Shao Jingmo lowered his head to look at the tie she was holding. Then, he looked at her and said in a calm tone, Were getting married by agreement. Dont you know best? A rhetorical question rendered Qiao Qiao speechless.. Chapter 566 - Chapter 566: The Beginning of Emotional Warming (1) Chapter 566: The Beginning of Emotional Warming (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The atmosphere turned cold. The two of them looked at each other. Shao Jingmos face was cold, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes. Qiao Qiao didnt show any particularly angry reaction. She just looked at him without letting go of his tie, as if they were confronting each other. Until Shao Jingmo said, Im going to rest. Let go of me. Qiao Qiao pretended not to hear him. Shao Jingmo looked down at her hand that was grabbing his tie. Her hand was very small, and her joints were slightly pale, indicating how hard she was using her nails to dig into the flesh of her palm. He slowly raised his other hand and covered the back of hers. His fingertips exerted a little strength and pried her hand away. Ah it hurts Qiao Qiao frowned and shouted in pain. Shao Jingmo immediately let go. Qiao Qiao took this opportunity to grab his tie again and muttered softly, Dont you know that youre so strong? My hand hurts from your grip. Shao Jingmos face darkened. Qiao Guigui. Qiao Qiaos voice was muffled. Tell me. Shao Jingmo looked down at her. Im tired. Im going to rest. Let go of me and go back to sleep. But Im not sleepy. She deliberately ignored his previous remark. Shao Jingmo said, Im sleepy. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she looked up at him. l know we got married by agreement. I know that very well. You dont have to remind me. Also, l Also I dont have to be shameless. Im just worried that something will happen to you. After all, none of those Bai family members are good people. l, I She was so anxious that tears welled up. Tears welled up in her eyes and could fall at any moment. She wanted to raise her head and force the tears back. She could not let Shao Jingmo see it. It would be embarrassing. However, Shao Jingmo was so tall that she could see him when she looked up. She was so anxious that for a moment she didnt know what to do. And the tears didnt listen at all. They fell with a clatter. Qiao Qiao was stunned and didnt move for a moment. After perhaps three or four seconds, she thought that by reaching out and stepping unobtrusively on that tear, she could try to block the evidence that she had been crying. At this moment, Shao Jingmos voice came from above. Theres no need to step on it. I saw it. Qiao Qiao bit her lip tightly, looking aggrieved. She didnt dare to look up at him. He said, Im sorry. Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. He said, Youre not my emotional trash can. Im keeping my distance from you, but sometimes I cant help wanting to get close to you Im sorry. Qiao Qiao blinked her blank eyes. Cant help but want to get close to me? Shao Jingmo didnt want to say anything else and coaxed her. Go back and sleep. Okay, but wait for me to say a few words. Qiao Qiao was very stubborn. Ive been restless and distracted all afternoon. I was afraid that something would happen to you. Ive been sleepy for a long time, but I wont sleep. I just want to see you come back with my own eyes. Forget it. Just treat it as me being willful. Go to bed early. With that, she released his tie and turned to leave. However, she had just taken a step when her body retreated uncontrollably. A force was tugging at her, and there seemed to be a whistling wind in her ears. Right on the heels of that, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing, as well as the sound of a lock being locked. By the time Qiao Qiao reacted, she was already pressed against the back of the door. The lights were not on in the bedroom yet. The curtains were airtight, and the moonlight could not enter at all. There was only darkness in front of her, and she could see nothing. When ones vision was restricted, ones senses would be magnified infinitely at the first moment. The mans breathing beside her ear became very heavy. The usually faint cedar fragrance became especially rich at this moment, or perhaps mixed with another smell, but it smelled strangely good. Qiao Guigui His extremely magnetic but low and hoarse voice landed beside her ear like a feather. Thump, thump, thump. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. After her senses were magnified, Qiao Qiao only heard Shao Jingmos heavy breathing and smelled the rich cedar fragrance on his body, but she ignored her racing heart. Shao Jingmo slowly approached and placed his lips close to Qiao Qiaos ear. Your heart is beating very fast. Qiao Qiao subconsciously wanted to push him away, but Shao Jingmo reacted faster than her. He grabbed her hand that was trying to push him away and held it behind her. This posture was very strange. Her hand was restrained behind her back, and she had no choice but to lean forward. Even her chest was raised a little, close to him. It was a very embarrassing posture.. Chapter 567 - Chapter 567: The Beginning of Emotional Warming (2) Chapter 567: The Beginning of Emotional Warming (2) Translator: Henvee Translations Editor: Henvee Translations The blush spread from Qiao Qiaos cheeks to her ears and then to her neck. Fortunately, it was pitch-black and she couldnt see anything. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing. Little Uncle Her voice uncontrollably turned coquettish. Shao Jingmo asked, What did you call me? Qiao Qiao said, Little Aye, aye, it hurts Shao Jingmo asked, What did you call me? Qiao Qiaos voice was as soft as a mosquito. Shao Jingmo, dont bully me. You call this bullying? I havent done anything. The corners of his eyes were dry, and his Adams apple bobbed faster and faster. Qiao Qiao couldnt see in the dark. She raised her head and whispered, l, l, I should go back to sleep. Shao Jingmo chuckled. When I said that I was tired and wanted to rest, who grabbed my tie and refused to let go? Thats because She managed to raise her voice a few notches, but it quickly changed to a mosquito-like voice. Thats because Im not finished. Shao Jingmo slowly tightened his grip on the back of her waist and closed the distance between them. Are you done now? You She was very embarrassed. Although she was not very afraid of him now and only knew how to restrain herself when she looked into his eyes occasionally, she was very afraid of him at this moment. However, it was not the usual fear, but the fear that could sense danger. It was as if he would eat her alive if she was not careful. She was so nervous that she couldnt speak properly. I-I-Im done. Im done. Waist. Waist Please, please The hand on her waist was straining. It didnt actually hurt. She was just so close to him that she was almost in his arms. Shao Jingmo did not let go of her hand. His breathing was as chaotic and heavy as before. At this moment, he tried his best to calm his breathing. One second, two seconds, three seconds Even after half a minute, he did not seem to be better. He said, You dont have to worry about me going to see the Bai family. Theres no need for you to appear in the future. Ill settle everything. When that day comes, Ill return your freedom. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Im very free now too, Shao Jingmo said in a low voice, l thought you were very aggrieved now. Qiao Qiao asked, After settling the Bai familys matter and giving me my freedom, will you still care about me anymore? Shao Jingmo said, No. Qiao Qiao said, Then will you still live in the Qiao family? Shao Jingmo said, No. Qiao Qiao asked again, Can I still call you Little Uncle? Shao Jingmo said, Up to you. Qiao Qiao sneered. Then what do you mean by pressing against me now? Do you just want to talk to me up close? After saying that, Shao Jingmo let go of her. Now that she was free, Qiao Qiao shook her slightly sore arm. Although the figure in front of her couldnt be seen clearly, she could hear the subtle sound of him walking and knew that he was going to turn on the lights. She suddenly stepped forward. At this moment, she didnt know where she got her courage and accuracy from, but she went forward and hugged Shao Jingmos neck. She held his face with both hands and kissed him without hesitation. Qiao Qiao still remembered the first time she took the initiative to kiss Shao Jingmo. When she knew that her grandfather was going to marry her to Shao Jingmo, she was unwilling and unconvinced. However, in the end, she had no choice but to compromise for her grandfathers health. She took the initiative to kiss Shao Jingmo in front of her grandfather, indicating that she was willing. At that time, she was too bold. She didnt think about the consequences. But her taking the initiative this time wasnt impulsive. She knew exactly why she was doing it before she did it, but she wasnt going to say it out loud, so she just did it. She wasnt very good at kissing, let alone taking the initiative. It was a kiss that could only be described as messy. However, she did not retreat at all. She boldly hugged Shao Jingmos neck. Shao Jingmo didnt respond, which disappointed Qiao Qiao a little. She let go of her arm and stepped back. l wanted to talk to you, but I couldnt see anything in the dark. As soon as I came up to you, I accidentally kissed you. I dont know if I kissed your face or where. Lets talk tomorrow. Im going back to bed. She acted like a scumbag who wouldnt admit it after she pulled up her pants. She left after flirting. Just as her hand touched the doorknob, Shao Jingmo pulled her back and kissed her on the back of the door. It was almost overwhelming and unstoppable. This was the first time Qiao Qiao had seen Shao Jingmos madness when he took the initiative. His strength was so strong that he almost rubbed her into his bones.. Chapter 568 - Chapter 568: The Beginning of Emotional Warming (2) Chapter 568: The Beginning of Emotional Warming (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo l can hear you. My back hurts There was a three-dimensional relief sculpture on the back of the door. Qiao Qiao felt uncomfortable leaning against it. Slowly, he found some semblance of reason. He drew back and pressed his forehead to hers. Say you regret it. Qiao Qiaos eyes were blank. What? Shao Jingmo repeated in a hoarse voice, Say that you regret your rashness just now. Say that you regret it. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing. Shao Jingmo coaxed her. Guigui, listen to me. Say you regret it. That you regret your rashness. Okay, Guigui? Youre just regretting it Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth. l dont regret it. The air went quiet for a moment. Qiao Qiao knew what she had to face after saying this. She had to face her hidden feelings for Shao Jingmo. It was a secret liking, an uncontrollable palpitation, and an indescribable jealousy. After saying this, she could clearly feel that Shao Jingmos breathing was much heavier than before. Because she couldnt see, she didnt know if it was anger or something. But there was no time to give her time to think. Shao Jingmo picked her up horizontally, turned around, and strode towards the bed. She was placed on the bed by Shao Jingmo, and right on the heels of that, his body covered hers. Clatter. The warm yellow light at the head of the bed lit up. Qiao Qiao finally saw Shao Jingmos face clearly. His pupils were so dark that she couldnt see the bottom. His invasive gaze made her have nowhere to hide. It was this moment. The warm yellow light swayed slightly. The two figures reflected on the white wall were faintly visible. The night was still long The next morning. The sky was not completely bright yet. Qiao Qiao came out of Shao Jingmos bedroom after putting on her clothes. Her sneaky figure looked like she was a thief. Back in her bedroom, Qiao Qiao immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower. Although Shao Jingmo had carried her to take a shower in the middle of the night, they had done it again later on. It was equivalent to washing for nothing. She fell asleep just like that. At that time, she didnt feel it, but when she woke up, she realized how sticky her body was. The sound of running water filled the bathroom. Qiao Qiao looked at herself in the mirror. There were some obvious marks on her snow-white body. She didnt regret it at all. It was just that her waist and legs hurt terribly. She had always firmly believed that Shao Jingmo was a newspaper, but last night, all the signs were sending her a message that Shao Jingmo was not an experienced chauffeur. He even needed to look for the location! Didnt he say that he had raised so many women? In the end, he made her suffer like a rookie. But after what happened last night, it probably wouldnt happen again. Although she didnt regret it, she did feel a little impulsive, so she couldnt be impulsive again. She quickly washed and wiped her body before applying a layer of fragrant body lotion. Finally, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and came out. She was shocked when she came out. Shao Jingmo had quietly entered her bedroom and was still lying on her bed. At this moment, he was still the same as when she slipped out of his bedroom just now. His upper body was bare, his chest was firm, and his abdominal muscles were well-defined. His figure was impeccably self-disciplined, especially the ratio of his shoulders to his waist. Qiao Qiaos eyes widened. It was just that some scratches on his chest and arms were too conspicuous. Qiao Qiao knew that it was her work. Enduring her discomfort, she walked to the bed and asked, What are you doing here at this time? Shao Jingmo grabbed her wrist and pulled her down to lie on the bed. He covered her with the blanket. Continue sleeping. Qiao Qiao struggled to get up, but Shao Jingmo pressed her down. Sleep a little longer. Its still early. No, no. Get out. Mom often comes straight into my room in the morning to call me. If she comes in and sees you here, I wont be able to explain myself. She panicked and wanted to chase him away. Shao Jingmo reminded her calmly, Were legally married. With that, he pushed himself up to look at her, his dark, deep eyes much hotter than theyd ever been. What needs to be done has been done. Its more legal. Qiao Qiaos face heated up and she looked away, not daring to meet his gaze. She still said, Im an adult, and youre even more so. Just pretend that nothing happened last night. Never happened. Heh Shao Jingmo chuckled. This laugh sounded extremely dangerous to Qiao Qiao. She roughly knew what was going to happen next. She got up and was about to escape, but she was too naive. Shao Jingmo was beside her. How could she escape when the two of them were pressed together? She was immediately pressed under him. Qiao Qiao knew that she was panicking. She begged in a delicate voice, No, 1 really cant. It hurts. Let me see. His eyes darkened. He lifted the blanket and lifted her bathrobe Around eight oclock, there was a knock on Qiao Qiaos door. Mother Qiao stood outside the door. Why arent you up yet? Get up. Hurry. Knock knock knock Knock knock knock C She knocked a few times, but no one opened the door. Mother Qiao was prepared to go in and pick her up as usual. At that moment, the door opened. Mother Qiao was about to say something when she saw that the person standing in front of her was Shao Jingmo. Mother Qiaos eyes widened. Jingmo? Shao Jingmo was wrapped in a bathrobe, and his fine black hair hung on his forehead. It was very different from his usual elite behavior. He looked calm. The toilet in Qiao Guiguis bedroom is blocked. I came over to take a look at her. Qiao Qiao, who was hiding at the bathroom door, heard his lie and mouthed silently, Who would believe you? At this moment, Mother Qiao, who was outside the door, said, Oh, the toilet is blocked. Itll be fine after its done. By the way, is Guigui up? Qiao Qiao: Was this her biological mothers reaction? She actually did not suspect anything! Chapter 569 - Chapter 569: Shao Jingmo, Do You Like Me? (1) Chapter 569: Shao Jingmo, Do You Like Me? (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo had just come out of the door. He was wrapped in a bathrobe, and his belt and collar were tied. Nothing unusual could be seen from head to toe. Mother Qiao turned around and looked at Shao Jingmo. She asked, Everything went well yesterday, right? Shao Jingmo nodded. Yes. Mother Qiao felt much more at ease. Its good that it went well. Its been hard on you, Jingmo. This gratitude came from the bottom of her heart. After all, this matter concerned her daughter, and she had to rely on Shao Jingmo to settle it. Shao Jingmos expression was indifferent. Mrs. Qiao, theres no need to say this. Mother Qiao nodded. Go change your clothes too. The chauffeur is already here. Shao Jingmo nodded and left Qiao Qiaos door in front of Mother Qiao. He returned to his bedroom. Everything seemed normal. Mother Qiao didnt think too much about it. After seeing Shao Jingmo return to the bedroom, she shouted into the bedroom, Qiao Guigui, quickly wash up and come down for breakfast. Do you hear me? Qiao Qiaos voice came from the bathroom. Got it. Mother Qiao closed Qiao Qiaos door before turning to go downstairs. Knock knock knock. Qiao Qiao had just changed when she heard a knock on the door and came to open it. She thought that Mother Qiao was here to rush her again. She had picked out more clothes and put on makeup for a long time. In the end, when she opened the door, she saw Shao Jingmos cold face. He was already dressed in a shirt and business vest. Because he had to match his suit jacket, he had cufflinks on both arms. He was extremely handsome! The man in front of her was really handsome, but Qiao Qiao was also really nervous at this moment. She immediately stuck her head out and looked outside. After confirming that she didnt see anyone else, she asked him, Why are you knocking again? Shao Jingmo: Again? Qiao Qiao said, You were here just now. Shao Jingmo had one hand in his pocket as he looked at her calmly. Im here to rush you. Qiao Qiaos smile faded and she said fiercely, Dont rush me! Shao Jingmo suddenly walked forward. Qiao Qiao didnt know what he was going to do. When she saw him coming, she subconsciously took half a step back. Dont come in. Mom will come up to rush me again later. Shell see you. So be it. He was already in the bedroom as he said this. Shao Jing Hmm Qiao Qiao had nowhere to retreat. Shao Jingmo pressed her down and kissed her. His strength was always so strong that she did not even have a chance to struggle. She was even bullied miserably every time. Most of the lip gloss had been kissed off, and a portion of it was on Shao Jingmos lips. The rest had been eaten by him. He raised his hand and used his thumb to wipe the lip gloss from his lips. He stared at her with eyes so hot they could burn her. So thats what lipstick tastes like. Qiao Qiao was still calming down. When she heard his words, she replied sourly, Didnt you raise so many women in the past? Why didnt you eat lipstick when you kissed those women? She would never admit that she was jealous. The main thing was that when she thought about how many women hed had in the past, she felt like shed lost out. As if deliberately trying to fight for pride in front of him, she said shamelessly, l must find a clean little puppy in the future. Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. You think Im old, and you think Im not clean? Qiao Qiao snorted. You already know the answer. Shao Jingmo hugged her slender waist tightly. So you believed what 1 said that day? What he said that day? Qiao Qiao frowned. Which day are you referring to? Shao Jingmo said, The day we quarreled. That was a month ago Qiao Qiao had a deep impression of this day. When she heard him mention that day, the anger in her heart surged. She reached out and pushed him. Let go of me. Get out, get out. Shao Jingmo did not let go of her. Instead, he tightened his grip and hugged her. I lied to you. Qiao Qiao had been struggling, but she was stunned when she heard this. What? His lips came close to her ear and kissed her earlobe. Theres never been anyone else. Theres only you from the beginning to the end. If you were attentive enough, you should have sensed it last night. Im sorry to have put you through this. Qiao Qiaos eyes widened in disbelief. A random guess that popped into her mind while she was showering was actually true?! But that was clearly unrealistic. How could he have never had a woman? Then how had he endured all these years? He couldnt just rely on his hands. He saw through her thoughts and chuckled softly. Dont always think you know men very well. Men dont just have lust in their eyes.. Chapter 570 - Chapter 570: Shao Jingmo, Do You Like Me? (2) Chapter 570: Shao Jingmo, Do You Like Me? (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations That was undeniable. In the eyes of successful men, lust was the lowest level of desire. Qiao Qiao stared at him for a long time, then asked a particularly annoying question. Youre not just trying to make me feel better, are you? Shao Jingmo smiled. You can think so, but I have the right to defend myself. Youre still arguing. Qiao Qiao said in a very complaining tone, It hurt so much last night. Shao Jingmos eyes darkened. Sorry. Forget it, forget it. Who asked you to be a rookie? Ill reluctantly believe you this time. The corners of Qiao Qiaos lips curled up hard. She was also trying her best to suppress her joy, and trying not to make it too obvious. She circled the back of her hand and patted his arm on her lower back, indicating that he should let go. Shao Jingmo let go of her this time and said with a faint smile, Ill be more familiar with it next time. Ill be careful next time. Qiao Qiaos cheeks burned. She turned around and turned her back to him. l told you to treat last night as an accident. Were legally married to begin with. Its fine if an accident happens. It wont happen again. Qiao Qiao had said this just now. Then, she got a good serve from Shao Jingmo and almost couldnt get out of bed again. However, such a question of principle had to be made clear. Last night was a moment of impulse. How could she be impulsive from time to time in the future? Therefore, she had to draw a line in this matter. Qiao Guigui. Behind her, Shao Jingmo called out to her. His tone sounded no different from usual. Qiao Qiao didnt turn around. What? Shao Jingmo said, Turn around. Qiao Qiao slowly turned around. Shao Jingmo reached out, grabbed her neck, and hooked her in front of him. Then, he lowered his head and covered her lips. He kissed whenever he wanted. He was so domineering that he was unreasonable. Fortunately, he did not kiss her for long this time. After an extremely rough kiss, he let go of her and said, Ill come to your room tonight. Then he turned and went out. He closed the door for her considerately as well. Qiao Qiaos mouth was numb. She waved her arms at the air. Ill lock the door and close the window tonight! She didnt know if the arc of her waving was too wide, but the soreness in her body became more obvious. Her small face fell as she endured the flash of discomfort and cursed. Beast. During breakfast, Qiao Qiao acted like a coward the entire time. She didnt look at anyone and didnt dare to look at him for a second. Fortunately, Shao Jingmo was more restrained and did not deliberately find anything to talk about at the dining table. However, Father Qiao said, The two of you have been in a stalemate for almost a month. What problem cant you bury the hatchet? Qiao Qiao hung her head and didnt reply. She ate her breakfast in silence. Shao Jingmo replied, She looked for me this morning. As soon as he said this, Father and Mother Qiaos gaze landed on Qiao Qiao, who was buried in her head. Even without looking up, Qiao Qiao could feel her scalp go numb from the stare. She cursed Shao Jingmo a million times in her heart! Fortunately, Mother Qiao immediately realized what Shao Jingmo meant and chimed in, Thats right. This morning, 1 went to wake Guigui up. Jingmo was with her and even helped her look at the toilet bowl. It seems that their relationship has eased a lot. Qiao Qiao immediately replied, Were all under the same roof. Well see each other often. One month is enough to appease my anger. Its a good thing to reconcile. Father Qiao was very relieved. The two of you have finally reconciled. Whats there to be unhappy about between uncle and nephew? This commotion lasted for a month Ahem. Shao Jingmo coughed lightly. Attention at the dining table quickly focused on the coughing Shao Jingmo. Other than Old Master Qiao, who was eating breakfast in the bedroom, he was not present. Shao Jingmo said indifferently, Dont mention the word uncle and nephew in the future. Its not appropriate. Father Qiao found it strange. Usually Shao Jingmo said, Thats in the past. This is a critical period. The attitude of these words was unquestionable. How could Father Qiao not understand? Currently, the tug-of-war with the Bai family has begun. In the eyes of the Bai family, Qiao Qiao had to be Shao Jingmos wife. Nothing could go wrong. Father Qiao replied, Thats true. Ill try to watch my words in the future. After breakfast, Father Qiao was about to drive Qiao Qiao to the company as usual. Qiao Qiao also planned to take Father Qiaos car. At this moment, Shao Jingmo walked past her and held her hand. Lets go to the company. Qiao Qiao quickly said, Ill take Dads car. Shao Jingmo turned to look at her. Theres a meeting this morning. You have to listen in. Its too late now.. Chapter 571 - Chapter 571: Shao Jingmo, Do You Like Me? (3) Chapter 571: Shao Jingmo, Do You Like Me? (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations What meeting? Why didnt I know? Lets go. Hey, hey, hey. Why didnt you inform me in advance about the meeting? Shao Jingmo, walk slower. Its easy to fall if I dont see the way clearly. Then Ill carry you. Dont you dare! l dare! Before Qiao Qiao could protest, Shao Jingmo picked her up in front of Father Qiao. Before he left, he specially said to Father Qiao, Ill leave first. Father Qiao was dumbfounded as he watched his daughter be carried away by Shao Jingmo. Mother Qiao walked to Father Qiaos side and nudged him with her elbow. Isnt it strange? Father Qiao hissed. Young mens way of dealing with relationships is simple. When they make a fuss, they ignore each other for a month. When they reconcile, he immediately hugs her. Theres nothing strange about this though. I havent found anything strange about what Guigui does since she was young. Mother Qiao looked worried. Im just worried about what will happen if Guigui really falls into it. Father Qiao smiled and said, Its normal for her to like him. The matter with the Bai family hasnt been resolved yet. Mother Qiao reminded in a low voice, If Shao Jingmo can really keep the Bai family in check, he wouldnt have dragged it out until now. Do you think the Bai family is really to be trifled with? Im afraid that Shao Jingmo will go back on his word. At that time, our Guigui Father Qiaos expression turned serious. In the end, he said nothing and turned to go in with a dark expression. Shao Jingmo carried Qiao Qiao into the car. She was dissatisfied. The first thing she did after he put her in the car was to kick him with the tip of her high heels. The force wasnt heavy, but it wasnt light either. Qiao Qiao herself felt the pain for him. But Shao Jingmos face did not even frown. She moved closer. Doesnt it hurt? Shao Jingmo said, Be gentler next time. Qiao Qiao deliberately mocked him. Youre pretending so well. I thought you were really made of iron. Shao Jingmo stretched out his arm and naturally placed it on her shoulder. He asked her, Where are you referring to? The smile on Qiao Qiaos lips disappeared. She raised her hand and pushed him away. Be serious. Shao Jingmo, who had been pushed away, leaned over again. What are you thinking? Qiao Qiao glared at him. Shut up. Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows in surprise. Are you scolding me? Qiao Qiao raised her leg again. Not only am I fierce to you, but Im also kicking you. With that, she kicked him, but this time, she deliberately restrained the strength of her kick. Unexpectedly, when she kicked him this time, her ankle was grabbed. She kicked him twice and could not pull back. Shao Jingmo, let go if you have the ability. She felt that this posture was a little dangerous. Especially the dress she was wearing. If she wasnt careful, it would be exposed. Shao Jingmo pressed the switch with his other hand, and the front panel slowly rose, blocking the view in front of her. Qiao Qiao!s almond-shaped eyes widened slightly. This was the first time she had seen Shao Jingmos car raise the partition since she sat in his car. Usually, when the partition was raised, they were going to do something bad. Qiao Qiao bit her lip and stared at him defensively. Shao Jingmo slowly massaged her ankle. Are you afraid that Ill eat you? Qiao Qiao said, Do you dare? Shao Jingmo chuckled. Of course. Qiao Qiao shut up. Knowing that she couldnt afford to offend a man who had just started eating, Qiao Qiao could still hide. She immediately pounced on him and wrapped her arms around Shao Jingmos neck. Ill be good. Dont bully me, okay? With that, Shao Jingmos pupils darkened, and his Adams apple bobbed. He asked her in a low voice, Say that again? Qiao Qiao was a little afraid, because Shao Jingmos gaze seemed to be about to eat her up in the next second. Ill be good. Dont bully me, okay? He lowered his head and kissed her lips. Okay, he whispered back to her. She wasnt relieved to hear his answer, because the hand hed used to grip her ankle hadnt let go. The repeated, neither light nor heavy rubbing made her heart itch and feel dangerous. Just as she had expected, Shao Jingmo did not let her off easily. He kissed her again and again until the lip gloss on her mouth was gone. After he took his hand away, Qiao Qiao dared to ask, Was the brown mark left on your hand the one I made? He didnt take it seriously, and she didnt mention it. He raised her hand to look at it, then lowered it. Think of it as the brand you marked on me, he said playfully. Qiao Qiao frowned slightly. Why didnt you pull your hand away when I bit you that day? You knew how willful I was, but you still deliberately provoked me and said that it didnt hurt at all as I didnt eat. I dont believe that it really didnt hurt. Shao Jingmo said truthfully, It hurts. Qiao Qiao complained to him, Then why did you still Shao Jingmo said, l thought youd be fine after venting. Qiao Qiao was speechless. She couldnt help but think of some details. Shao Jingmo was always protective of her and obedient to her. He would respond to everything and consider her feelings immediately. He was lukewarm to her because she said that she had to keep her distance. So he was restraining himself. A guess gradually appeared in Qiao Qiaos mind. She suddenly turned to look at him. Shao Jingmos gaze was on her. When she turned around, they looked at each other. He asked, What do you want to say? Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and asked uncertainly, Shao Jingmo, have you liked me since a long time ago? Chapter 572 - Chapter 572: Marriage before Love, Dating (2) Chapter 572: Marriage before Love, Dating (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao only asked this on a whim. However, Shao Jingmo did not give her an answer directly. Instead, he asked her, Are you certain or just guessing? Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Im just asking. Im not certain or guessing. Actually, she shouldnt have asked. She clearly knew that Shao Jingmo had someone he liked, and that person was very likely the outstanding, capable, and beautiful Song Yun. After having sex with Shao Jingmo, she still felt a little guilty, even though she was Shao Jingmos legitimate wife. As she thought this, Qiao Qiaos chin was suddenly gently hooked by his outstretched hand. She was forced to turn her gaze to him. Shao Jingmo asked, Youre not certain, nor were you guessing? Qiao Qiao wanted to nod, but she couldnt with his hand under her chin. Shao Jingmo lowered his hand and gently caressed her fair neck. Arent I obvious enough? Qiao Qiao blinked. Shao Jingmo suddenly pressed her down. There was a leather seat under her, so it wouldnt hurt her back, but the space was too small. She couldnt stretch her arms and legs too far. While Qiao Qiao was still savoring Shao Jingmos words, he kissed her one after another. The more Qiao Qiao thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She suddenly pushed him up. Wait! Shao Jingmo helped her up and hugged her. His lips were close to her neck as he gave her an answer Its you. Hearing this, Qiao Qiao didnt move for a long time. When the car arrived at the company, she got out of the car first and went in. Shao Jingmo walked behind. Other than getting out of the same car, the way they interacted and the distance between them were no different from usual. Qiao Qiao arrived at her office. She closed the door, covered her face with her hands, and paced the office. On the surface, she looked like she was thinking calmly, but her heart was already in turmoil. Its her! Shao Jingmo admitted it himself! The person he liked was her!! The corners of Qiao Qiaos mouth curled up uncontrollably, and her smile quickly covered her entire face. Her mood was indescribably good. The only regret was that when she found out from Shao Jingmo that the person he liked was her, she forgot to ask him when he liked her because her mood was too complicated. Could it be from the moment he picked her up from the capital? Knock knock Two knocks on the door startled Qiao Qiao. She turned to look at the door and saw Dou Ying open her office door. She was standing there quietly, looking at her. Qiao Qiao immediately put down her hands that were covering her face. Dou Ying walked in and placed the document on the table. You didnt hear the sound I made when I opened the door. Maybe 1 was thinking too seriously and didnt notice you coming in. Qiao Qiao was a little nervous. As she spoke, she raised her hand and scratched her chin. Dou Ying walked up to Qiao Qiao. I saw you walking around just now. Did you encounter something difficult? No, no. Qiao Qiao quickly waved her hand. Dou Ying leaned forward slightly. Huh? Qiao Qiao moved back slightly and swallowed. Its really not difficult. The best way for adults to communicate was to stop when necessary. There was no need to ask too much, especially since it was taboo to get to the bottom of things. Therefore, Dou Ying did not pursue the matter. She pointed at the document on the table. Its for a meeting soon. A meeting? Qiao Qiao was slow to react. Dou Ying said apologetically, l forgot to tell you yesterday. President Qiao arranged it at the last minute. He just asked me to prepare the materials for the meeting for you. Qiao Qiao remembered that when she went out in the morning, Shao Jingmo had carried her away in front of her father with the excuse that he had a meeting in the morning! When does the meeting start? Is it now? She wasnt ready to go into the conference room, so she was a little worried. Dou Yings gaze landed on her lips for a few seconds before she said meaningfully, Theres no hurry. Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. Dou Ying reminded her, At least touch up your lipstick first. After all, the people sitting in the meeting room are all the companys elders. Qiao Qiao: The smile suddenly disappeared from her lips. Seeing Dou Ying leave her office and close the door for her considerately, Qiao Qiao covered her face and was on the brink of tears. If she had known, she would have touched up her lipstick first when she came into the office just now, but she had forgotten just now. Buzz. The phone on her desk beeped. Qiao Qiao got up and picked up her phone. It was a WeChat message from Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo: [Come to my office first..] Chapter 573 - Chapter 573: Marriage before Love, Dating (2) Chapter 573: Marriage before Love, Dating (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Without thinking, Qiao Qiao replied willfully: [Why didnt you come to my office?] The cell phone went silent. She guessed that Shao Jingmo must be speechless. He had been ordered by his employee for no reason! She rummaged in her bag for the lip gloss and the small mirror, intending to touch up on it. She was about to apply it when she realized it was lip gloss. She hesitated for a few seconds before giving up on this one. The lip gloss was good-looking, but it was too easy to rub off. There wasnt much left after Shao Jingmo kissed her. If he kissed her again, there would be nothing left. In order to prevent him from sneaking up on her again, Qiao Qiao put the lip gloss back in her bag and changed to a brick-red lipstick. Lipstick was much more durable, and it was a gorgeous dark color that was more effective in preventing it. After applying the lipstick, she looked carefully in the mirror. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she was. When she was done, she packed her bag, then picked up her phone and the documents on her desk and went out. Unexpectedly, just as she opened the office door, Shao Jingmo arrived. Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. You really came down? Shao Jingmo walked towards her. Of course, Ill only obey Mrs. Shaos orders. Qiao Qiao was secretly delighted. Seeing him approach, she looked behind him and saw that he was really alone. She couldnt find a topic to talk about, so she asked casually, What are you doing down here? There was a faint smile on Shao Jingmo!s lips. Didnt Mrs. Shao ask me to come to your office? Qiao Qiao Dit ner lip. 1 said It casually. Shao Jingmos gaze landed on her dark red lips. Even if its just a casual remark, Ill take it seriously. With that, he raised his hand to pinch her chin. You changed your lipstick. Qiao Qiao couldnt stand his burning gaze and didnt dare to look him in the eye. She looked elsewhere and replied, Yes, is it nice? He didnt interfere with what color lipstick she wore, but he would make a serious comment. It looks good. But looking at his expression, Qiao Qiao felt that he didnt really think it was good-looking. She deliberately asked, Isnt it a little too dazzling? No. After Shao Jingmo answered, he suddenly lowered his head and leaned over. Qiao Qiao moved back to avoid him. What are you doing? Shao Jingmo said, l want to kiss you. Qiao Qiao raised her hand and pushed him. Count how many times you kissed me today! l didnt count, he said. Qiao Qiao said, Many times. Shao Jingmo had a serious expression. Why dont we start counting from now? Qiao Qiao: His burning gaze was fixed on her delicate lips. His Adams apple bobbed a few times. Then well kiss tonight. Qiao Qiao turned around and walked away. In your dreams. Shao Jingmo stood on the spot and smiled. Then, he followed her and held her hand. Qiao Qiao let him hold her hand and followed him obediently. By the way, you called me to your office for something, right? Shao Jingmo said, l want to kiss you. Qiao Qiao shook his hand. Be serious. Shao Jingmo held it tightly and did not let her shake it off. He chuckled and asked, How can you be sure that what I said is not true? Qiao Qiao glanced at him. Alright, alright, alright. Ill talk. Shao Jingmo told her the truth. Todays meeting is very important. Ill officially introduce you to all the higher-ups in the company at todays meeting. You dont have to be afraid. Ill give you a hint with my eyes. Leave the rest to me. Oh, got it. From this moment on, she was beginning to feel apprehensive. The upper echelons of Deep Blue Corporation were all fierce generals who had worked hard with her grandfather back then. It was impossible not to go, Her parents intention was to let her enter the core of the company and occupy a certain position in the company in the future. At that time, she felt that it was quite difficult. How could Shao Jingmo give her a position in Deep Blue? As for now, it seemed quite difficult. It was a dilemma. The meeting room was on the upper floor of Shao Jingmos office. Qiao Qiao had never been to that floor. Only the higher-ups of the company and the board of directors could go up. Qiao Qiaos appearance did not surprise those people in the meeting room, but everyones attitude was very subtle. After all, Qiao Qiao was the real Qiao family and should be the true successor of Deep Blue Corporation. However, to everyones surprise, Shao Jingmo announced that Qiao Qiao had officially entered the board of directors with her original shares. As soon as these words were spoken, it caused a considerable commotion and quickly spread throughout the company. There had been all kinds of discussion in the past few days. Have you heard? Missy has entered the board of directors! Chapter 574 - Chapter 574: Marriage before Love, Dating (3) Chapter 574: Marriage before Love, Dating (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Who in the company doesnt know about this? A while ago, the eldest daughter, who was still at the bottom of the hierarchy, entered the board of directors in the blink of an eye. What do you think will happen to Deep Blue next? I thought that Deep Blue was about to change hands, but now that Missy has entered the board of directors, will Missy declare war on President Qiao and officially fight? Even if they fight, Missy will only lose. Its hard to say. Missy just entered the company. To put it bluntly, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Nothing good will come of her fighting President Qiao.! The version I heard was that President Qiao personally supported Missy into the board of directors, but I dont think thats possible. Who doesnt know that President Qiao is famous for being ruthless? How could he tolerate Missy standing in his way? Perhaps Missy is going to be in trouble recently. Dont say that. I just saw Miss go to President Qiaos office again. She hasnt come down yet. Hes probably picking on Miss again. Actually, Missy is quite pitiful. She just wants her familys company back. Now that there were rumors everywhere in the company, there were always differing opinions. At this moment, Obo Qiao, who was being discussed by everyone, was pressed onto Shao Jingmos desk. As for what they were doing Qiao Qiao only knew that she regretted coming up, and she had been tricked by him. Just twenty minutes ago, she was recording data in the office. She was working seriously when she suddenly received a WeChat message from Shao Jingmo: [Something happened. Come up for a while.] When Qiao Qiao saw this message, she immediately perked up. Something happened? What happened? Looking at Shao Jingmos message, it seemed like she had made a mistake at work. Moreover, the situation was quite serious. She quickly replied: [Is there something wrong with the file I sent you?] Shao Jingmo: [Come and check.] Seeing his reply, Qiao Qiao didnt dare to delay any longer and immediately went up. Initially, Shao Jingmo pretended to be serious, so she did not suspect anything at all. She even believed that it was a mistake in her work that caused a data check error and the subsequent data collapsed. Shao Jingmo said that he wanted to teach her how to verify it in the future so that it would not be easy to make mistakes. As he taught, the scene changed. After an unknown period of time, Shao Jingmo carried Ojao Qiao into the lounge inside the office. He placed Qiao Qiao on the soft bed and looked at her fragrant, soft, and red face. He couldnt help but ask for it again. In the end, Qiao Qiao didnt leave Shao Jingmos office all afternoon. But no one knew. When someone asked Dou Ying about the situation in the afternoon, Dou Ying said, Qiao Qiao? Shes already returned to the office. Someone asked Qiao Qiao how she was. Dou Ying said, President Qiao is such a black-bellied person. On the surface, he promoted Qiao Qiao to the board of directors, but behind her back, he let Qiao Qiao do all the dirty and tiring work. Poor little girl, she was bullied quite badly. Everyones expressions changed. They both sympathized with Qiao Qiao and were afraid of Shao Jingmos deterrence. It was almost seven-thirty when Qiao Qiao woke up. She opened her eyes and looked around blankly. It wasnt home. It seemed Youre awake. Qiao Qiao turned around and saw Shao Jingmo lying on his side beside her. She was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately turned her back on him. Dont talk to me. Shao Jingmo hugged her from behind. Are you angry? Qiao Qiao said, Hmph. She snorted, indicating that she was still angry. Shao Jingmo lowered his head and kissed her cheek. Its almost seven. I ordered food to be sent here. Lets go home together after eating. What did you tell Grandpa? she asked. Shao Jingmo said, That were working overtime in the company. Qiao Qiao turned to face him. You lie a lot. You know Im easy to fool, so you always lie to me. Shao Jingmo chuckled. Its not because youre gullible. Its because you trust me. Youre still laughing. Arent you just relying on the fact that I believe you and lying to me in all kinds of ways? You even did that in the office. If others find out Hmm She couldnt close her chattering mouth, so Shao Jingmo kissed her and swallowed all the words. After that, he helped her put on some clothes and carried her out. He had already cleaned up the traces on the desk. It was not convenient to get someone to clean up such a matter, so Shao Jingmo did it himself. This person was getting bolder. Each time, it became wilder. It was said that there wouldnt be a next time. But every time, Qiao Qiao couldnt resist his active temptation, and Shao Jingmo was especially enthusiastic. It was as if he had eaten delicious food and always wanted to eat it. No matter what, he wouldnt get tired of it. Qiao Qiao sat on the sofa for a while before Shao Jingmo went to return a work call. He stood at the window to take the call. She sat on the sofa and looked at him. The atmosphere was appropriately quiet for the years. Not long after, dinner was brought in. Qiao Qiao was hungry. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat the meat. The bowl was filled with the dishes Shao Jingmo had picked up for her. He was afraid that she would choke, so he would remind her to eat slowly from time to time. Qiao Qiao was eating happily. She had never asked about what she had been suppressing in her heart. There were several times when she wanted to speak, but she swallowed her words until Shao Jingmo saw through her. He asked her, You want to say something? Qiao Qiao stopped chewing and looked up at Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo said, Hm? Qiao Qiao swallowed the food in her mouth and asked him very formally, Apart from our marriage on the surface, do we have any other relationship now? For example, dating or something.. Chapter 575 - Chapter 575: Make Up for a Wedding (1) Chapter 575: Make Up for a Wedding (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although Qiao Qiao didnt directly ask about their true relationship, her attitude at this moment was very serious. She wanted to get the answer she wanted from Shao Jingmo! She wasnt sure if she would get her wish, but at least it came from Shao Jingmo. Fortunately, Shao Jingmo did not disappoint her. He did not even use his usual rhetorical tone. Instead, he said to her frankly and sincerely, l hope its a relationship. After saying this, he asked her again, May l? This time, he didnt beat around the bush and answered directly, which stunned Qiao Qiao. Her mouth opened slightly, and the chopsticks in her hand suddenly fell to the porcelain bowl with a crisp sound. They quickly rolled to the ground again, very coherent. She bit her lip in frustration and was about to bend down and pick it up. Shao Jingmo had already picked up the chopsticks and placed them aside before her. He then handed her a new pair of chopsticks. Use this pair. Qiao Qiao looked at the new chopsticks he handed her and then at him. She didnt move. Shao Jingmo asked, Are you full? Not yet. She shook her head. Shao Jingmo asked, You dont want your chopsticks anymore? I want it. When she said this, her expression was very serious. Then, under Shao Jingmos gaze, she said another three words. l want you too. She had racked her brains just now to think of many ways to respond to him. She was willing to date him! Very, very willing! However, she, who had always been carefree, actually felt a little timid and did not know how to respond to Shao Jingmos words. At this moment, she lost her grip on her chopsticks and dropped them. Shao Jingmo picked it up and gave it to her. At that moment, there was only one thought in her mind: If she wanted chopsticks, she wanted him too! Are you sure? he asked again, uncertain. Qiao Qiao replied solemnly, Absolutely. They smiled at each other. Qiao Qiao felt exceptionally unrestrained. She took the chopsticks from him and placed them beside the bowl. Then, she shifted her position and moved closer to Shao Jingmo, Then, she picked up her bowl and chopsticks and smiled brightly at him. Since I want you, are we boyfriend and girlfriend now, or husband and wife? Shao Jingmo hooked his finger. Come closer. Qiao Qiao obediently moved a little closer and then looked at him eagerly. Ill listen. Shao Jingmos eyes were filled with a gentle smile. Both. Qiao Qiao refused. No, I want a definite answer. Were a young couple thats dating, he answered seriously, not brushing her off. Qiao Qiao held the bowl and smiled foolishly. A young couple thats dating? Oh, its quite nice. I like it. He bent his head and kissed her. This time she didnt move away. She even took the initiative to kiss him back. After dinner, Qiao Qiao went home with Shao Jingmo. It was almost nine oclock, and Old Master Qiao was already asleep. There was no one in the living room, but the lights were on, and the entire living room was as bright as day. Qiao Qiao stepped into the living room. She walked quietly in front. Shao Jingmo did not walk with her. Instead, he walked behind with his hands in his pockets. She walked extremely slowly, worried that her high heels would make too obvious a noise. Shao Jingmo slowly followed behind her and never exceeded her pace. They seem to be asleep? she said to Shao Jingmo as she walked to the stairs. Maybe. He wasnt so sure. Qiao Qiao looked around and didnt see Father and Mother Qiao. She didnt even see a servant. Thinking about it, nine oclock was not considered late under normal circumstances. Tonight, the Qiao family was abnormally quiet. Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard Mother Qiaos voice from above. Qiao Guigui! Qiao Qiao looked up abruptly. Mom, youre still awake? Mother Qiao was standing on the stairs in her pajamas with a thermos in her hand. It seemed that she was about to go downstairs to get some water when she bumped into Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo, who had returned at this time. Mother Qiao walked down the stairs. Seeing her daughter smile guiltily at her, she asked, Have you had dinner? Qiao Qiao nodded obediently. Yes, I did. Mother Qiao asked, Where did you eat it? Qiao Qiao said, The company. Mother Qiaos gaze landed on Shao Jingmo, who was not far behind Qiao Qiao. She asked despite knowing the answer, Jingmo, why did you come back so late today? Working overtime! It was Qiao Qiao who took the initiative to answer. Mother Qiao glanced at Qiao Qiao angrily. Im not asking you. Qiao Qiao smiled ingratiatingly. Im working overtime with Little Uncle. I dont know anything about your work. If you have to be busy, be busy. If you have to rest, rest too. Dont tire yourself out. Mother Qiaos tone was filled with concern.. Chapter 576 - Chapter 576: Make Up a Wedding (2) Chapter 576: Make Up a Wedding (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao nodded and replied, l know. Actually, Qiao Qiao realized that her mother didnt look too happy. Could it be because she said that Little Uncle took her to work overtime that she came back so late? Before she could think too much, Mother Qiao came down the last step. You only say that you know. Forget it, forget it. I cant be bothered to talk to you. Go up and wash up early and sleep. Qiao Qiao replied obediently, Got it. She went upstairs first. Halfway to the corridor, she realized that Shao Jingmo was still downstairs. Shao Jingmo raised his chin at her, indicating for her to go up first. Qiao Qiao nodded and went up first. Mother Qiao came over after pouring the water. When she saw Shao Jingmo standing there, she slowed down. Nothing happened today, right? Shao Jingmo did not put on any airs in front of Mother Qiao and replied, Nothing. Were just working overtime. Mother Qiao nodded, then asked, Has the company been busy recently? Shao Jingmo replied, Working overtime is to train her according to your wishes. Mother Qiaos lips curled into a smile. Jingmo, you cant say that. At the very least, Guigui can share some of your burden in the company. This is also what Dad wants to see the most. Shao Jingmos voice was cold. I will definitely not let you down. Mother Qiao held the thermos and was about to go upstairs. When she walked past Shao Jingmo, she paused for a moment and looked sideways at him. She hasnt even lived her life clearly. How can she live the life of two people seriously? Shao Jingmo frowned slightly. Mother Qiao paused for a moment and continued after a moment of silence, Besides, Guigui has been used to being heartless since she was young. She always speaks and does things like a child, and her emotions are often too unstable, giving her father and me a headache. But youre completely different. Youre a mature and steady person. In the future, the person who can be by your side must be a generous, sensible, and obedient girl. Shao Jingmo raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He replied casually, Is that so? Thats right. Mother Qiao smiled. As you know, no mother will think that her daughter is lousy, but shes still young. Shes just a child. Shao Jingmo lowered his hand and echoed in a calm tone, Mrs. Qiao is right. Shes insensible, young, and willful. Were not compatible. These words were too sharp. Mother Qiaos expression darkened. Rest early. With that, Mother Qiao took the thermos and went upstairs. Shao Jingmo raised his head slightly and watched Mother Qiao leave. There was a shadow in his eyes, hiding a cold shock. He didnt go upstairs. Instead, he turned to the bar and grabbed a bottle of Western wine. He poured half a glass and drained it, then slammed it down on the bar. But in the second before the bottom of the glass was about to hit the bar, he steadied his grip and finally placed the glass gently on the bar. He couldnt disturb her. Just as he was about to pour a second glass of wine, a hand reached over and pressed down on the bottle in his hand. He didnt even have to turn his head to know that his little girl had come down. After Qiao Qiao pressed down on the bottle in Shao Jingmos hand, she quickly snatched it away and asked, Its such a good thing to drink. Why didnt you call me along? Shao Jingmo pushed the glass in front of him away and said, Im not drinking anymore. Qiao Qiao smiled playfully. You stopped drinking the moment 1 arrived? Shao Jingmo turned around and leaned his elbows on the bar counter. He looked at her with a smile. Since my wife is here, I have to be more self-conscious. Stop joking. Qiao Qiao imitated his posture and rested her elbows on the bar. I went to knock on your door just now and realized that you didnt come up at all, so I came down to look for you. Then I saw that youre actually drinking alone here. Are you unhappy? Tell me and make me happy. She was being sarcastic. She was deliberately teasing him, hoping to make him feel better. She would find a chance to ask him why he was drinking too much. However, Shao Jingmo did not give her a chance to ask. He held her hand. Im not drinking anymore. Go up and sleep. Qiao Qiao stubbornly refused to leave and chased after him. Why cant you tell me? Is it a business secret? Shao Jingmo was silent for a moment before answering her under her gaze, Im thinking about holding a wedding after settling the matter with the Bai family. Qiao Qiao looked unconvinced. Youre drinking here just because youre conflicted about this? Why are you sure Im drinking alone? he asked with a smile.. What if Im enjoying this? Chapter 577 - Chapter 577: Make Up a Wedding (3) Chapter 577: Make Up a Wedding (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations l believe you. She didnt pursue the question. Instead, she said, l think I believe you. Shao Jingmo was slightly stunned. You really believe me? Qiao Qiaos eyes curved. l do. Why wouldnt I believe you? Shao Jingmo reached out and pulled her into his arms. Im just a little frustrated, but it has nothing to do with you. Qiao Qiao obediently rested her chin in Shao Jingmos arms and rubbed it. Do you need me to return the wine to you? Im not drinking anymore. His arms relaxed and he lowered his head to kiss her. Go up and sleep. Qiao Qiao said shyly, 1 Shao Jingmo said, Hm? She braced herself. I want to sleep with you. Ill go back to my bedroom early tomorrow morning. Alright. He picked her up and wasnt afraid that someone else would appear at this time. Even if Father and Mother Qiao were here, he wouldnt hide it. That night, Qiao Qiao slept in Shao Jingmos bedroom. Qiao Qiao was very tired during the day, so Shao Jingmo was not too beastly. He hugged her to sleep at night and did nothing. After that, Qiao Qiao officially dated Shao Jingmo. It was a secret love affair. Other than Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo, no one knew about their relationship progress. Until this day, the Bai family appeared again. However, it was different from Bai Qingnans arrogant appearance last time. The Bai family member who came this time was also someone from the Bai family who had a say. His name was Bai Qingfeng. He looked gentle and refined, and his attitude was very kind. He was also very polite to others. Moreover, he was only here to personally send an invitation to Deep Blue Corporation. In Shao Jingmos office. Shao Jingmo handed Qiao Qiao the invitation that he had already seen. Qiao Qiao took it and quickly flipped it open. The 88th birthday of the head of the Bai family, Bai Fengjiang! As she read, her voice quickly became much softer until it disappeared. She closed the invitation and looked up at Shao Jingmo. Are you going? Shao Jingmo was holding a fountain pen on the table. He casually played with it and replied, Depends on the situation. Qiao Qiao didnt know what kind of situation it would be. What about me if you go? Should I go? Qiao Qiao was more worried about this situation. Shao Jingmo put down the fountain pen in his hand and looked up at her. Do you want to go? Qiao Qiao said gloomily, l dont want to go. The Bai family is so scary. What if I go and never return? Three days later was the birthday of the Bai familys head. On that day, there was a banquet at the Platinum Hotel, and the invitation that should have been given to the Qiao familys head was sent to Shao Jingmo. It was obvious that the Bai family was sincere. Shao Jingmo bent his finger at her, indicating for her to come over. Qiao Qiao put the invitation aside and stood up to come to Shao Jingmo. She sat beside him, extremely close to him. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. The invitation is in my hands, but I have to pass it on to your grandfather. His health is not good, so he obviously cant go. Then your parents will go in your grandfathers place, and I have to go because the invitation is in my hands. Qiao Qiao asked, What about me? How should she be arranged? Shao Jingmo probably wouldnt let her go. There were so many people at the 88th birthday banquet. If there were too many people, they might not be able to return. Shao Jingmos answer to her was, l wont be around that day, and your parents wont be around either. Only you and your grandfather were at home. Do you think its safe? Qiao Qiao felt a lump in her throat. Huh? Shao Jingmo had no intention of scaring her, but what he said was indeed the truth. Youre the most dangerous in the Qiao residence. Qiao Qiao swallowed. You Shao Jingmo said, Im not scaring you. Qiao Qiao couldnt even swallow her saliva. Shao Jingmo couldnt help but ask with a smile, Are you afraid? Qiao Qiao closed her eyes and turned her head. No kidding. Within three seconds, she twisted around to look at him again. What about me going with you? Would it be safer? Not necessarily, he said. Qiao Qiao asked, Is it dangerous to follow you? On Bai Fengjiangs birthday, there will only be more people at the Platinum Hotel. Even if I hold your hand at all times, 1 cant guarantee that nothing will happen, Shao Jingmo said truthfully. After hearing this, Qiao Qiao only sighed. In the end, its very dangerous for me to go. Its even more dangerous if I dont go. Its dangerous no matter what, right? Shao Jingmo did not deny it. Sort of. Can you not beat around the bush? Just tell me where I should be safe that day. She was getting anxious. Especially since Shao Jingmo only said the first half, she was even more anxious. Shao Jingmo knew that he couldnt tease her anymore. If he continued teasing her, she would be angry. He stretched out his arm and grabbed her waist. In the blink of an eye, Qiao Qiao sat on Shao Jingmos lap. Qiao Qiao was used to him hugging her at the drop of a hat. She sat obediently on his lap and didnt move, waiting for him to continue. Shao Jingmo said, l wont go that day. Ill always be by your side. I definitely wont let you out of my sight.. Chapter 578 - Chapter 578: Can’t Laugh Anymore, A Love Rival Appeared (1) Chapter 578: Cant Laugh Anymore, A Love Rival Appeared (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao wasnt very happy when Shao Jingmo said that he wouldnt go. Because she was more worried now. If you dont go, how will you answer the Bai family? The Bai familys power might not have reached the point where they needed to be afraid. However, the Bai familys current attitude towards Shao Jingmo was clearly expressing goodwill. If Shao Jingmo did not go this time, it would be equivalent to not giving the Bai family face. It was not a good thing to fall out with the Bai family on the surface. Are you worried? Shao Jingmo asked her. Qiao Qiao nodded. What do you think? Of course Im worried. Shao Jingmo played with her fingers and comforted her gently. The Bai family did have some status in Xingzhou in the early years, but its different now. The Bai family has long been in a state of disunity. Its not as united as the outside world sees. Qiao Qiao didnt know much about this. Can I take it that the Bai family is in an internal strife now? Shao Jingmo smiled. You can think of it that way. There were many open and covert fights in the corporations. What humans did not lack the most was greed. If they could surpass others, who would be bothered by the seemingly peaceful tripartite? Shao Jingmo raised her hand and kissed her fingertips. So dont worry about what will happen to the Bai family if I dont go. This birthday banquet is an internal competition in front of Old Master Bai. After Old Master Bai t s birthday, the internal strife in the Bai family might stop. Qiao Qiao pulled her hand out of his palm and wrapped her arms around his neck instead. She leaned closer and asked, Then who do you think will be the next head of the Bai family? Shao Jingmo said, Bai Qingnan. Qiao Qiao was surprised. Why do you think its him? Shao Jingmo smiled. What Im trying to say is that hes the least likely. Qiao Qiao laughed too. Shao Jingmos palm stopped on her lower back. Qiao Qiao didnt want to get up. She snuggled into his arms obediently. Can you rub my waist? He agreed, then took off his watch and placed it on the table beside him. He unbuttoned his cufflinks and rolled them up. After doing this, he placed his hand on her lower back again. He controlled the most suitable strength and massaged her gently. Then, he asked her, Mrs. Shao, is this strength alright? Qiao Qiao had closed her eyes and was enjoying herself. Its alright. Massage it well. After you massage, there will be a reward. He smiled. For the reward, I naturally have to serve Mrs. Shao comfortably. The day of Bai Fengjiangs birthday was approaching soon. Because of Shao Jingmos words that day, Qiao Qiao had never taken it to heart. When she came back from work one day and finished dinner, Old Master Qiao called Qiao Qiao over to talk to him. Mother Qiao cut a plate of fruit and handed it to Qiao Qiao. Your grandfather is looking for you. It might be related to the Bai family. Bai Fengjiang called your grandfather today. I dont know what he said, but your grandfather hasnt left the house all afternoon! Qiao Qiao frowned. Why is the Bai family always haunting me? Mother Qiao sighed. What can we do? Before this matter is resolved, the Bai family will continue to haunt us. Qiao Qiao fell silent. Mother Qiao stretched out her hand. Take it and go up quickly. Take note of the time and dont chat for too long. Urge your grandfather to go to bed early. Qiao Qiao took the fruit platter. Got it. In Old Master Qiaos living room. Qiao Qiao knocked on the door. A servant came over and opened it for her. Miss. Qiao Qiao said, You can go out first. Ill accompany Grandpa. The servant nodded and left after Qiao Qiao came in, closing the door again. Grandpa, 1 heard from Mom that you havent been out much recently. How can you not go out? Youll get moldy. Besides, the weather has been very good recently. Why dont I take a day off tomorrow and go out with you? Qiao Qiao became the talker as soon as she came in. She placed the fruit platter on the small table beside the bed and pulled a chair over. She sat down beside the bed and looked at the old man, who was sitting against the bed. Old Master Qiao said angrily, Even if your surname is Qiao, you cant skip work just because you say so. Stay in the company and learn more. Its better than anything. I dont need your company. Qiao Qiao was very casual in front of Old Master Qiao, She leaned forward and rested her elbows on the bed. She smiled and said, Although my surname is Qiao, I can also take leave. Who said that company employees cant take leave? After a pause, she added, And this is me being filial. And isnt it good for me to accompany you to relieve your boredom? I happen to have a lot of interesting things to chat with you about.. Chapter 579 - Chapter 579: Can ‘t Laugh Anymore. A Love Rival Appeared (2) Chapter 579: Can t Laugh Anymore. A Love Rival Appeared (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Old Master Qiao was amused. He reached out and knocked Qiao Qiaos forehead. Youve been smart since you were young. Youve grown up for decades in vain. Youre not steady at all. She replied without thinking, How can ones personality change just like that? Isnt that natural? Besides, its enough to have a mature and steady person in the family. If theres another one, wont there be chaos? Old Master Qiao said meaningfully, The person youve been criticizing has become a mature and steady person. Qiao Qiao knew that her grandfather was teasing her and smiled embarrassedly. Thats because I was young and insensible in the past. Old Master Qiao asked, Are you sensible now? Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes. Old Master Qiao laughed out loud. He laughed and coughed again. Qiao Qiao was so nervous that she quickly poured water for the Old Master. Old Master Qiao waved his hand. Its fine when youre happy. Its fine. When Old Master Qiao recovered a little, he looked up and saw that Qiao Qiaos eyes were red and she was about to cry. Old Master Qiao sighed helplessly. Look at how scared our Guigui is. Its fine. Grandpa is used to it. Just dont tease Grandpa. Grandpa wont laugh anymore. Qiao Qiao smiled through her tears. I was going to make you happy. Its better to be serious. With that, she put the glass of water back and brought the fruit platter over. Old Master Qiao did not resist fruits much and ate some. When they were chatting, Old Master Qiao almost never asked about Qiao Qiaos company. But tonight, for the first time, Old Master Qiao asked a lot of questions about her in the company. Including some recent developments in the Deep Blue Group. Qiao Qiao answered seriously. The topic shifted to Shao Jingmo, who was not present. Old Master Qiao asked, I cant find any fault with how well Jingmo treats you in front of me. Does he usually pick on you in the company? Qiao Qiao shook her head. No. Little Uncle treats me the same way he treats me in front of you and outside. As long as I dont know anything about the company and ask him, he will tell me patiently. Little Uncle treats me very well. This child is still loyal to you. Old Master Qiao sighed and looked melancholic. Back then, I wanted him to marry you. 1 owed him to begin with. Later on, when I saw that you two were in harmony, the guilt in my heart increased instead of decreasing. Qiao Qiao was curious. Why do you still feel that the guilt in your heart has increased instead of decreasing? Old Master Qiao said earnestly, After his parents passed away, I didnt see him shed a tear at the funeral. This child can endure it, so he can achieve great things. Hearing Old Master Qiaos words, Qiao Qiao slowly recalled the first time Shao Jingmo came to their house. The young man was only fourteen years old. He was wearing a slightly dirty sweater. Under the lead of his adoptive father, Qiao Huasheng, he stepped into the Qiao familys residence. Qiao Qiao, who was only seven years old, was not in the house. She had been squatting in the flowers in the front yard. When she heard her grandfathers voice, she immediately stood up from the flowers and waved her hand. Grandpa- At that time, Qiao Huasheng was leading a young man towards the door. When he heard Qiao Qiaos voice, he stopped and turned around. The young man turned around with Qiao Huasheng. Not far away, Qiao Qiao heard her grandfather say to the young man, Jingmo, look. The little girl in the flowerbed is my granddaughter. Her name is Qiao Qiao. I gave her a nickname called Guigui. Shell be your little niece from now on. At that time, Shao Jingmo, who had just lost his parents, was silent and expressionless. After her grandfather introduced her, the young man, who knew he was about to live under someone elses roof, gave her a very forced smile. Qiao Qiao had never seen such an ugly smile on a persons face. Therefore, she had never liked Shao Jingmo from that moment on. Guigui, Old Master Qiao shouted. Qiao Qiao came back to her senses. Huh? Whats wrong, Grandpa? Old Master Qiao waved his hand. The past is in the past. Lets not talk about the past. Lets talk about recent events. The Bai family has already looked for me. Bai Fengjiangs 88th birthday is imminent, so they specially invited me to participate. Qiao Qiao asked, Is Grandpa planning to go? Yes, I plan to go. Old Master Qiao said in a serious tone, l locked myself in the house for the entire afternoon today. Ive figured it out. Ill have to face it sooner or later, so Grandpa plans to bring you along. Qiao Qiao was stunned. Take me with you? Old Master Qiao nodded. Yes, Grandpa plans to bring you along. Dont be afraid. Youll be fine by Grandpas side.. Chapter 580 - Chapter 580: Can’t Laugh Anymore, A Love Rival Appeared (3) Chapter 580: Cant Laugh Anymore, A Love Rival Appeared (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao hesitated. But Little Uncle said Old Master Qiao guessed. Jingmo doesnt want you to go? Qiao Qiao nodded. Little Uncle said that if I went this time, the Bai family might use despicable methods to make me stay. Old Master Qiaos expression became even more solemn. But if you dont go, Ill be even more worried. Itll be fine. Little Uncle said that he wont go either. Hell accompany me. Qiao Qiao was afraid that her grandfather would be too worried, so she told him about Shao Jingmos arrangements. Old Master Qiao sighed and smiled. Jingmo is still the most considerate. With that, he waved his hand. Youve been chatting with an old man like me for so long. Go rest early. As for going to the Bai family, Ill think about it. Qiao Qiao stood up. Then rest early. She came out of the sitting room with a heavy expression. Her mind was filled with what she had just said to her grandfather. Why did Grandpa take her to the Bai family? Or could it be that Shao Jingmos considerations were not that safe? Perhaps it was safest to go to the Bai family because it was such a big birthday banquet. If she went missing, the Bai family would be the first to bear the responsibility. Especially when Shao Jingmo said that the Bai family was fighting among themselves now. The heirs were fighting to achieve results in front of Old Master Bai. Then what kind of results would satisfy Old Master Bai the most? Perhaps if he brought her to Old Master Bai? If Bai Qingfeng, Bai Qingnan, and Bai Qingchen attacked at the same time, she would be in danger! She was thinking about something and walking, so she did not notice Shao Jingmo walking over. She almost bumped into his arms before she heard his voice. What are you thinking so much about? Qiao Qiao let out a sigh and her eyebrows relaxed. Grandpas health is getting worse and worse. Im very worried. Shao Jingmo lowered his eyes. Dont worry too much. Ill arrange for the doctor to give him another comprehensive examination tomorrow. Then can I take tomorrow off and stay at home? she asked immediately. Shao Jingmo said. Mrs. Shao. the company has never had a system that doesnt allow leave. If youre not satisfied with the companys system, you can suggest rewriting it. Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh and laughed. She walked past him. I understand. Ill go back to sleep first. Im so sleepy- She yawned and stretched. Every physical movement indicated that she was sleepy. Shao Jingmo watched her leave and his eyes gradually turned cold. Then, he turned around and went to Old Master Qiaos living room. The next day, Qiao Qiao took leave to stay at home and accompany Old Master Qiao for a full physical examination. It didnt worsen. Many of the symptoms were related to mood. The doctor asked the family to enlighten the old man more. And this task fell on Qiao Qiao. After an entire day, it was obvious that Old Master Qiaos mood had improved a lot. Moreover, he had an appetite. In the afternoon, Qiao Qiao accompanied her grandfather to trim the flower branches in the front yard. It was almost five oclock, and the person who had delivered the gown had arrived at this time. Guigui, theyre here to deliver the gowns. Ive ordered two gowns. Call them over, Old Master Qiao said, holding the teapot. Qiao Qiao wasnt too curious about whose gown it was. She put down the scissors and waved at the person over there. Come here. Soon, the person who delivered the gown walked over. The two of them were wearing work clothes. One of them went forward and said to Old Master Qiao, Old Master Qiao, this is the gown you ordered a while ago. Its already ironed. Do you want to check it or try it on? If theres any problem, you can change it immediately. Old Master Qiao pointed at Qiao Qiao. You can communicate with her. Shes my granddaughter. Qiao Qiao was at a loss, but she agreed. Ill take a look first. The two gowns were of both sexes. After Qiao Qiao looked at it, she had an idea. The female design style was completely in line with her aesthetic standards, and the male design was very suitable for Shao Jingmo. This was the gown her grandfather had ordered for her and Shao Jingmo. There was no need to rack her brains to guess. Her grandfather hoped that she would go to the Bai familys patriarchs birthday banquet with Shao Jingmo. After a careful inspection, the two people waiting to send the govvns away. Qiao Qiao walked over with two big boxes and placed them in front of Old Master Qiao. Grandpa, Ive seen them. I quite like the design and style of the dress. Old Master Qiao hugged the teapot and took a sip of tea. He smiled and said, l didnt even say that this was a gown ordered for you. Qiao Qiao put her hand on the box. Such a beautiful gown. If Grandpa didnt order it for me, does Grandpa have other granddaughters? Old Master Qiao said, Of course youre the only granddaughter, but Grandpa still has another granddaughter. Qiao Qiao blinked. Cousin? Yes, Old Master Qiao said. The gown really isnt yours. I ordered it for your cousin. Shell be here tonight. Ill get Jingmo to pick her up. Qiao Qiao asked, Will Auntie come? Old Master Qiao shook his head. Your Auntie wont come. Only Xingruo will come. Qiao Qiao was puzzled. She didnt know why Aunties daughter, Lin Xingruo, would come to their house at this time. It was not until dusk that a black Bentley slowly drove into the Qiao residence. Qiao Qiao stood on the steps and looked in that direction, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked at the car. The car door opened. Shao Jingmo got out of the car. Qiao Qiaos lips curled up when she saw him, but the next second, the smile on her lips froze. Shao Jingmo reached into the car and placed a slender hand on his palm. Then, Lin Xingruo slowly got out of the car.. Chapter 581 - Chapter 581: Untitled (1) Chapter 581: Untitled (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After getting out of the car, Lin Xingruo almost lost her balance and leaned closer to Shao Jingmo. On the other hand, Shao Jingmo did not pull away from her. From his body movements, it could be seen that he had taken good care of Lin Xingruo. But this scene was very glaring to Qiao Qiao!! Why did he have to touch her! Didnt he know that he was a married man?! At this moment, Lin Xingruo looked up and saw Qiao Qiao standing on the steps. She stood on tiptoe and waved at Qiao Qiao. Sister Qiao Qiao! Qiao Qiaos lips curled into a very forced smile in response to Lin Xingruo. Mother Qiaos voice came from beside her. From afar, Xingruo and Jingmos temperaments are quite compatible. Compatible? Qiao Qiao answered her own question. l dont think its right at all. With Little Uncles graceful temperament, not many people are worthy of him. There was a hidden meaning in Mother Qiaos words. What about yourself? Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and didnt answer. Lin Xingruo had already followed Shao Jingmo over. She took a few steps in front of Shao Jingmo and stepped up the steps first. She stretched out her hands to Mother Qiao. After Mother Qiao held them, she called out sweetly, Auntie. Mother Qiao held Lin Xingruos hand and smiled. Little Xingruo, 1 havent seen you in a long time. Youre about to become a big girl. Lin Xingruo smiled shyly. Aunt, Im already 21 years old. Im an adult. Beside her, Qiao Qiao said slowly, Xingruo. Lin Xingruo withdrew her hand from Mother Qiaos hand, then opened her arms and took the initiative to hug Qiao Qiao warmly. Sister Qiao Qiao, I didnt know that youd been back in Xingzhou for a long time. If I had known, I would have come to look for you earlier. I missed you so much. Qiao Qiao hugged Lin Xingruo back. l came back in a hurry before. My former classmates and friends didnt know or contact me. You still have the cheek to say that. Its fine if its someone else, but you didnt contact me when you came back. Back then, I came to Xingzhou to attend university because you were in Xingzhou. Later on, you went to the capital, but I havent graduated from university. When I returned to the capital, I heard that you had returned to Xingzhou. Can it be such a coincidence? Lin Xingruos tone was filled with resentment. Her enthusiasm and joy for Qiao Qiao came from the bottom of her heart. After all, Qiao Qiao was her best playmate when she was young. Qiao Qiao apologized to Lin Xingruo and explained the reason, but she didnt say anything about her marriage to Shao Jingmo. She only talked about her grandfathers health. Tears welled up in Lin Xingruos eyes. My mother never mentioned Grandpas health to me. I didnt even know. Qiao Qiao was about to say that she would take Lin Xingruo to see her grandfather. Unexpectedly, Lin Xingruo turned around and pulled Shao Jingmos sleeve. She begged, Little Uncle, bring me to see Grandpa. Seeing this, Qiao Qiao was speechless. Shao Jingmo, who had not spoken since he came, replied under Lin Xingruos pleading, Sure. Qiao Qiao said, Xingruo, why dont I take you to see Grandpa? Mother Qiao grabbed Qiao Qiaos wrist. Let Jingmo take Xingruo there. Guigui, come with me to the kitchen to help. Shao Jingmos gaze swept past Qiao Qiao and stopped on Lin Xingruo. He said lightly, Lets go. Auntie, Sister Qiao Qiao, Ill go see Grandpa first. With that, Lin Xingruo followed Shao Jingmo in first. Qiao Qiao turned around and was about to follow her in when Mother Qiao kept pulling her. Xingruo hasnt come to our house in a long time. If she wants to see her grandfather, let Jingmo take her there. Come to the kitchen with me and have dinner early. Qiao Qiao freed her wrist from Mother Qiaos grip and said expressionlessly, I wont go to the kitchen. My culinary skills are poor, so I cant help much. With that, she walked in alone with her head lowered. Mother Qiao stepped forward. Are you angry? Qiao Qiao deliberately hid her emotions. Why would I be angry? Mother Qiao saw everything. My daughters good culinary skills were taught by me personally back then. Why did your culinary skills suddenly become bad? Did you forget your skills in the years youve been in the capital? l just forgot, Qiao Qiao said. Mother Qiao didnt know what to say for a moment. Looking at Qiao Qiaos lonely back as she went upstairs, she thought for a few seconds and followed her. She pulled Qiao Qiao upstairs and returned to the bedroom. She closed the door again and gestured to her. Sit down. Ill tell you the current situation. Qiao Qiao was a little confused. Her mood changed greatly from disappointment to confusion. She sat obediently and raised her head like a schoolboy, waiting for Mother Qiao to continue.. Chapter 582 - Chapter 582: Untitled (2) Chapter 582: Untitled (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mother Qiao stood in front of Qiao Qiao. Do you know why your grandfather called Xingruo over at this time? No idea. Qiao Qiao shook her head. Mother Qiao said, You dont have to go to the Bai familys heads birthday banquet this time, but Jingmo has to go, so your grandfather made a decision and asked Xingruo to go with Jingmo in your place. Qiao Qiao didnt quite understand. Why must Lin Xingruo go with Little Uncle? I can go too. At most, Ill publicly admit my relationship with Little Uncle. That way, the Bai family will be even more afraid. Youre thinking too simply. Mother Qiao sat down beside Qiao Qiao and said slowly, If you publicly admit that you and Shao Jingmo are married at the Bai familys masters birthday banquet, the Bai family will only be more unscrupulous. Although the Bai family is fighting among themselves now, if they want to show Old Master Bai their results, you will be in danger. Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes. Mom, I know everything youre talking about. Shao Jingmo had already told her this. No matter who from the Bai family attacked, she would be in danger. At this moment, Mother Qiao reminded Qiao Qiao, Dont forget that your grandfather asked you to marry Jingmo in order to use your status as his wife to restrain him and make him protect you with responsibility. He didnt do it to show the Bai family and make them retreat. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. She naturally would not forget her grandfathers original intention for her to marry Shao Jingmo. Mother Qiao also said, Your grandfather should have reminded you that Jingmos personality is very tolerant. He married you to repay your grandfather for raising him, and its also because of his responsibility that he protected you. Dont always think that he will do everything you want. Get the situation and straighten out your position. Qiao Qiao said angrily, Then did Little Uncle agree to arrange for Lin Xingruo to attend the birthday banquet with him? Mother Qiao replied, Its obvious, isnt it! He knows the situation and is in control of everything, including you. Youre just too innocent. You always foolishly think that everything he says is credible. He indeed wont harm you, but he controls you single-handedly. Dont get yourself involved. In the end, you wont have a good ending. Qiao Qiao was silent. She did not say anything for a long time, her eyes dark and gloomy. Mother Qiao knew that Qiao Qiao had heard everything she had just said. She stood up and said, Ill go down to the kitchen to take a look first. Dont stay in your room for too long. Dinner will start at seven sharp tonight. With that, Mother Qiao left Qiao Qiaos bedroom. Qiao Qiao sat quietly for a while, composed herself, then went to the cloakroom. She picked out a black linen windbreaker, put on a baseball cap, and changed into a pair of Doc Martens. Then, while no one was in the living room, she quietly went out the door. She didnt go out alone. Instead, she called Jingcheng. Come and pick me up. Jingcheng: ??? Qiao Qiao urged, Drive the car to me in five minutes, or Ill fire you. Jingcheng asked in a weak voice, Miss, may I ask where you are now? Qiao Qiao said, Come here first. Dont report it to Little Uncle in advance. Jingcheng agreed first. Then wait for me for five minutes, Miss. Ill rush over as soon as possible. If Qiao Qiao wasnt at the Qiao residence at this moment, Jingcheng would definitely have called Shao Jingmo before he left. However, Qiao Qiao was at the Qiao residence at this moment. At least her safety was confirmed. Although Jingcheng didnt know what was going on, he still rushed over immediately after ending the call. Qiao Qiao waited under the streetlight for five minutes. Jingcheng stopped the car. It was rare for him to see Qiao Qiao dressed like this. At first, he couldnt recognize her. After lowering the window, he called out tentatively, Miss? Qiao Qiao looked up. Under the brim of her hat, her face was clearly visible. After confirming Qiao Qiaos identity, Jingcheng was about to get out of the car when Qiao Qiao walked straight forward, walked around the car door, opened the passenger door, and sat down. To the Bar Buff. The confusion on Jingchengs face instantly turned to fear. Miss, its so late. Why are you still going to the bar? Qiao Qiao turned her head. Cant l? Its not that you cant. Its just that I might have to ask Third Master for his opinion. Miss, wait for me for a minute. As he said this, Jingcheng had already taken out his cell phone and was about to call Shao Jingmo to tell him about the situation. Before Jingcheng could make the call, Qiao Qiao snatched the cell phone from his hand. Contact him later. Theres no hurry.. Chapter 583 - Chapter 583: Untitled (3) Chapter 583: Untitled (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jingcheng was in a difficult position. But Miss Qiao Qiaos tone was cold. l told you to contact him later. Its not like I didnt want you to contact him. If he knew now, would 1 still go out for a drink?! Jingcheng: That made sense. But he didnt dare to do that. It was mainly because he could not answer Third Masters questions. Seeing that Jingcheng was still not driving and was in a deadlock with her, Qiao Qiao unbuckled her seatbelt. Forget it. Ill get a taxi myself. Jingcheng swallowed. It was the nervousness of making a decision in just a few seconds. He naturally knew what to choose between letting Missy take a taxi or following her at all times. He struggled internally for a few seconds, then relented. Miss, fasten your seatbelt first. Ill take you there. If youd been so quick, we should be at the entrance of the bar by now, Qiao Qiao said as she fastened her seatbelt again. Lets go. Jingcheng drove Qiao Qiao to Bar Buff under immense pressure. After parking the car, the first thing Jingcheng did when he got out of the car was to ask Qiao Qiao for her cell phone back. Miss, can you return my cell phone? Qiao Qiao raised Jingchengs phone and waved it in front of him. If I give it back to you, who are you going to call? Jingcheng took the phone back first and promised, I definitely wont call Third Master. Qiao Qiao grinned. Only a fool would believe you. She put the phone in her bag, then took out a black mask and put it on. Dont worry, Ill be fine. But you dont look fine when youre so nervous around me. Jingcheng: Qiao Qiao then took out a mask from her bag and handed it to Jingcheng. Cover your face. Jingcheng took the mask and quickly put it on to cover his face. Lets go. Qiao Qiao walked in front with leisurely steps. Jingcheng looked around and didnt find anything unusual. Then, he quickly followed. Bar Buff was very unfamiliar to Qiao Qiao. It was also her first time here today. The metal music was deafening. The people on the dance floor, male and female, wriggled and danced together hotly. The atmosphere was especially high. Qiao Qiao shuttled through the crowd and looked around. Then, she picked a booth and Jingcheng stood beside her. She couldnt hold her liquor very well, so she only ordered two bottles of Rio. Then, she gestured for Jingcheng to sit down. Dont stand there. Its obvious that youre from a powerful background. Be a little more natural. Were just friends who came out to have a drink. Jingcheng thought so too, so he sat down in the booth next to Qiao Qiao. Buzz buzz buzz. Qiao Qiaos phone was ringing. But she pretended not to hear. She held the Rio in her hand and drank it while looking at the male models on the dance floor. All of them had superb figures! Miss! Jingcheng shouted with a worried expression. Qiao Qiao turned around and asked Jingcheng, Do you also think those male models have great figures? Jingcheng: Qiao Qiao couldnt help but laugh when she saw Jingchengs defeated expression. Meanwhile, her cell phone was still ringing. Jingcheng felt helpless and miserable. He reminded her loudly, Miss, your cell phone is ringing. Qiao Qiao didnt think much of it. So be it. Dont worry about it. Jingcheng: While Qiao Qiao was focused on the dance floor, Jingcheng boldly went forward and took Qiao Qiao!s cell phone. Seeing that the caller ID was Third Master, Jingchengs hands trembled. Miss, its Third Master. Qiao Qiao retracted her gaze and looked at Jingcheng with a faint smile. Then answer it for me. Jingcheng hesitated for a moment before answering the call. It was too noisy in the bar. Jingcheng turned on the speakerphone, and Shao Jingmos angry voice came from the phone Qiao Guigui. His anger was obvious. Jingcheng gestured for Qiao Qiao to speak. Qiao Qiao only smiled and didnt speak, which made Jingcheng anxious. Say something, Qiao Guigui! Dont think I dont know where you are. Dont be willful. The smile on Qiaos pretty face faded a lot. She snatched the cell phone from Jingchengs hand and replied firmly, Im sorry, Little Uncle. Im being willful again this time, but male models are really good-looking and nice to touch. I like it very much! With that, Qiao Qiao hung up and turned on the flight mode. No matter how hard Shao Jingmo tried, he couldnt get in. Jingcheng looked worried. Miss, Third Master must be very worried about your safety now. Let me tell him. Qiao Qiao took a sip of her cocktail and replied lazily, Your mouth is on you. If you want to say it, say it. Im not stopping you. Jingcheng slowly reached out. Then the cell phone Qiao Qiao took out the phone and returned it to Jingcheng. After Jingcheng took back his phone, he immediately called Third Master. After explaining his current location, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Qiao Qiao rested her chin on her hand and looked across with a faint smile. Do you think Little Uncle will come? Jingcheng hesitated. Im not sure about that. Qiao Qiaos smile froze on her lips. Did you notice? Im deliberately provoking him. Jingcheng said, Uh Forget it. Theres no point in talking to a blockhead like you. Qiao Qiao took the bottle and took a swig. Originally, Qiao Qiao only wanted to have a casual drink to pass the time. However, the Rio was too delicious. Before Shao Jingmo came, she had already drunk three bottles. The dance floor was so high that it attracted her. Qiao Qiao got up and stumbled over. Jingcheng tried to stop her, and with this tug and pull, Qiao Qiao almost fell. Before Jingcheng could steady her, Qiao Qiao suddenly fell into an embrace. She was feeling a little dizzy. She looked up and tried to see the face of the person in front of her clearly. As she looked, she wondered if she recognized who it was. She grinned foolishly. She raised her hand to touch the face of the person in front of her. Youre quite handsome. Why dont you follow me? Shao Jingmos lips curled into a mocking smile. Can you afford it? Qiao Qiao pulled a long face and asked fiercely, Who are you looking down on? Let me tell you, I have plenty of money because I have a richer husband. If you follow me, Ill steal my husbands money to support you.. Chapter 584 - Chapter 584: She Admitted That She Would Be Jealous and Sad (1) Chapter 584: She Admitted That She Would Be Jealous and Sad (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmos expression was as cold as ice, and his tone was cold. You stole my money to raise another man. Qiao Guigui, youve grown up. Qiao Qiao suddenly quieted down. She raised her face and stared at the man with his arm around her for a few seconds, as if trying to identify him. Shao Jingmo looked unhappy. He raised his other hand and brushed away the messy hair on her forehead. Why? Cant you recognize your husband after drinking a little? Qiao Qiao suddenly sobered up and pushed Shao Jingmo away from his arms. She almost lost her footing when she retreated. Fortunately, Jingcheng, who was beside her, quickly held her steady. Miss, be careful. Qiao Qiao drew in her breath. After Jingcheng helped her steady herself, she asked him, When did Little Uncle come? Jingcheng replied, Just now. Qiao Qiao swallowed silently. When she looked up at Shao Jingmo again, the guilt on her face was obvious. Why did she sneak out tonight? It was because she didnt want to stay at home and see Shao Jingmo and Lin Xingruo interact. She was being willful this time because she wanted to wait for Shao Jingmo to come out and look for her. But now that Shao Jingmo had really come to look for her, she was a little afraid. She was about to pretend to slip away when she realized that Jingcheng was still holding her wrist and maintaining the gesture of helping her up. Qiao Qiao patted his hand. Let go. Let go. Jingcheng reacted and immediately let go. However, it was too late for Qiao Qiao to slip away. Shao Jingmo grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Where else do you want to go under my nose? Little Uncle, I was wrong. She frowned, her voice as soft as anything. Shao Jingmo frowned slightly. Does it hurt? Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes. Shao Jingmo asked, Did I use too much strength? Qiao Qiao looked aggrieved. Yes, you did. Shao Jingmo chuckled and loosened his grip a little. Qiao Qiao saw the opportunity and turned to slip away. However, her movements were not as fast as Shao Jingmos. This time, he pulled her back into his arms and restrained her. Qiao Qiao couldnt move for a moment. She was on the brink of tears and begged delicately, Little Uncle, I was wrong. I really know my mistake. Let go of me. I wont run anymore. Shao Jingmo held her in his arms with one hand. Just the strength of one arm was enough to make her unable to resist. She was too inexperienced to challenge him. Are you sure you wont run? he asked. Qiao Qiao shook her head tearfully. Im not running anymore. However, Shao Jingmo wouldnt fall for her tricks now. He pulled her hand and walked out. Come home with me. Upon hearing that she was going home, Qiao Qiao immediately struggled. l dont want to go back yet. Shao Jingmo turned around and looked at her. What do you want to do if you dont want to go back? Find a male model? Qiao Qiao remembered that she had just said in his arms that she wanted to steal her husbands money to keen a male model. At this moment. she wished there was a crack in the ground and she could crawl in. Deafening metal music filled the entire upper and lower floors of the bar. Most people were immersed in their own joy. Some disputes and tug-of-war were rarely noticed unless the scene was blown up. At this moment, it was not surprising that Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo were pulling each other. Only passersby would look at them curiously. Qiao Qiao felt that Shao Jingmo was too aggressive. He suppressed her with just a few words, as if she had made a huge mistake. And she could not break free from his shackles. She lowered her head and bit his hand, but she seemed to have forgotten that even if she bit Shao Jingmo!s hand until it bled, he would not let go of her easily. This time, Qiao Qiao didnt dare to bite him hard. It would be enough if she put on some airs. It wouldnt be easy to clean up if she went too far. She stopped struggling, but that didnt mean she gave in. She straightened her neck and said with confidence, Im your wife, not your subordinate. Why should you be the only one who can say what you want? I dont care. I havent had enough fun. Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. You just dont want to go home, right? Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes. She thought that Shao Jingmo would definitely be angry with her. Then, he would leave and not care about her life. She had also thought about it. If Shao Jingmo was so angry that he turned around and left, she would still follow him obediently. It was better to be a little more cowardly when it was time. However, she did not expect Shao Jingmo to not be angry at all. Instead, he said calmly, Alright, then I wont leave. Qiao Qiao: n? Shao Jingmo pulled her to the booth and sat down. How much did you drink just now? Shao Jingmo asked her. Qiao Qiao had just sat down and looked very confused.. What do you mean? Chapter 585 - Chapter 585: She Admitted That She Would Be Jealous and Sad (2) Chapter 585: She Admitted That She Would Be Jealous and Sad (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo said, The alcohol. Qiao Qiao immediately shook her head and refused to admit it. 1 didnt drink. Shao Jingmo raised his finger and pointed in her direction. Then whats that smell on your body? Qiao Qiao puffed out her chest. Womanly smell. Shao Jingmo glanced sideways at Jingcheng, who was standing at the side and was on standby. How much did she drink? The noise was too loud. Jingcheng bent down and answered, Third Master, Missy drank three bottles of Rio. Shao Jingmo asked, She didnt drink anything else? Of course I didnt drink anything else, Im here to pass the time, not to get drunk, Qiao Qiao answered herself. Shao Jingmo looked at her. Are you sober now? Qiao Qiao murmured, l wasnt drunk to begin with. She didnt tell the truth. In fact, her head was a little dizzy, but she didnt think it was drunk. It must have been too long since shed had a drink and she was just a little tipsy. If she could get drunk from drinking Rio, she would despise herself. But the more she thought about it, the heavier her head felt. Miss, why do you look like youre in a bad mood? Do you want to have a drink together? A glass of wine was handed to her directly in front of Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao turned and glanced at the man. He was wearing half-framed glasses and a handsome appearance. He was wearing a black shirt and looked like a refined scum. Before Qiao Qiao could react, Jingcheng walked forward and warned her in a low voice, Shes not someone you can provoke. The man was surprised at first, then asked Qiao Qiao with a smile, Your bodyguard? Qiao Qiaos reaction was also very surprised. You hit on me even though you know. The man waved his wine glass in Shao Jingmos direction. What about that person? Qiao Qiao said, My uncle. Shao Jingmos expression did not change. The smile on the mans face became dazzling. Adults take their parents out for drinks these days. Qiao Qiao put on a serious face. l cant help it. The family is strict. The man leaned closer. Its really rare for someone with a strict family background to come to a bar. Anyway, its especially novel to me. Qiao Qiao glanced at the man from the corner of her eye. Its your business if youre curious. Dont speak so close to me. Cant you see that my parents are unhappy? Shao Jingmo didnt say a word. He just watched quietly as Qiao Qiao spoke to the strange man. His expression wasnt that too good, nor was it too bad. However, the magnetic field that surrounded him was extremely oppressive. The man who was hitting on Qiao Qiao could clearly feel it, but he deliberately ignored it. He introduced himself to Qiao Qiao. My name is Bai Chen. Nice to meet you. He paused for a moment. As surprise dissipated in Qiao Qiaos eyes, he lowered his voice and said, Ive noticed you since you came in. Because the aura you exude is very attractive to me. Qiao Qiao moved silently to the side. She couldnt move anymore. She suddenly stood up and went to Shao Jingmos side. In Bai Chens eyes, she was being scared by him. He felt a sense of accomplishment. Bai Chen laughed wantonly. He crossed his long legs and placed one arm on the armrest of the booth. He raised his wine glass with the other and looked at Qiao Qiao, who had returned to Shao Jingmo!s side. Youre more attractive than I thought Qiao Qiao felt her scalp go numb and she couldnt help but feel nervous. Bai Chen swirled the wine glass in her hand. Youre extremely cute. Qiao Qiao said, Hooligan. Bai Chen spread her hands. Im not harassing you. Qiao Qiao said, Your words make me uncomfortable. Bai Chen looked apologetic. Is that so? Then Ill be careful. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Shao Jingmo, who had been silent for a long time, said coldly, Second Young Master Bai, Ive heard a lot about you. My seniority is too low. Im not worthy of Third Masters Ive heard a lot about you,! Bai Chen said humbly. Bai Chen did not have the insufferable or arrogant sense of superiority that the descendants of aristocratic families had. He was very humble and did not have much status in the Bai family because he was the stepson brought by Bai Qingfengs second wife. Therefore, Bai Chen had almost no presence in the Bai family. He had no right to interfere in many important matters of the Bai family. Shao Jingmo glanced at Bai Chen and asked calmly, Are you here alone tonight? Bai Chen smiled. Dont worry, Third Master. Im alone. There are no other members of the Bai family. Shao Jingmo looked up and introduced him to Qiao Qiao. Bai Qingfengs eldest son, Bai Chen. Bai Chen added, The same seniority as Miss Qiao. These words seemed to be hinting at something. As expected, after Bai Chen deliberately answered, Shao Jingmos expression changed slightly. However, Shao Jingmo was not angry because of this sentence. This was not his personality.. Chapter 586 - Chapter 586: She Admitted That She Would Be Jealous and Sad (3) Chapter 586: She Admitted That She Would Be Jealous and Sad (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao should have called him Mr. Bai after Shao Jingmo introduced Bai Chens identity. But Bai Chens deliberate words made Qiao Qiao feel very uncomfortable. Without thinking, she retorted, You dont look young either. If 1 didnt specifically mention seniority, I would have thought that I had to call you Uncle. The smile on Bai Chens lips froze. A faint smile could be seen between Shao Jingmos eyebrows. At this moment, Bai Chen slowly stood up. It seems that Miss Qiao is very guarded against me. Its understandable. After all, Im a member of the Bai family. The Qiao family is most guarded against the Bai family now. With that, Bai Chen walked out of the booth. Im afraid Ive dampened Third Masters mood. Ill leave first. Third Master, lets talk when were free. Shao Jingmo said, Take care. Bai Chen nodded. Before he left, he glanced at Qiao Qiao meaningfully. Goodbye, Miss Qiao. Qiao Qiaos lips twitched downward, but it wasnt that obvious. After Bai Chen left, Qiao Qiao slowly relaxed a little. She was probably a little afraid. If Little Uncle didnt come tonight, she wouldnt know how to deal with this Bai family. Her legs were a little weak from fear. At this moment, Shao Jingmo grabbed her wrist and pulled her down to sit on his lap. Qiao Qiao didnt move. Shao Jingmo placed his arm on her lower back and massaged her gently. Were you frightened? Qiao Qiao didnt dare to be stubborn. A little. His name is Bai Chen, and hes Bai Qingfengs stepson. Hes the eldest son in name and isnt related to the Bai family by blood, Shao Jingmo said. Qiao Qiao frowned. Previously, Grandpa said that the Bai family didnt have a man of my marriageable age. It turns out that Grandpa had excluded Bai Chen, who isnt related to the Bai family by blood, from the list. Shao Jingmo said, Bai Chen is a hidden danger. Qiao Qiao was curious. How so? Shao Jingmo said, Bai Chen is not liked in the Bai family. He only has the surname Bai. On the surface, he is not allowed to participate in anything in the Bai family. Eating, drinking, playing, and being ignorant are all illusions. If you peel off that layer of cat skin, there might be a tiger inside. Qiao Qiao swallowed. No wonder I thought Bai Chens gaze just now didnt look simple. Shao Jingmo turned to look at her. Qiao Qiao was stunned. What? Shao Jingmo asked her, Do you still want to drink? Qiao Qiao: Shao Jingmo said, Or should I order male models? When Qiao Qiao heard the words male model, her eyes lit up instinctively. In just a few seconds, Shao Jingmo saw everything. He laughed in anger and pointed casually at the dance floor where heat waves rolled nearby. You want that one over there? How could Qiao Qiao not see Shao Jingmos expression? She shook her head violently. No. Youre already here. Shao Jingmo had a serious expression. Go and order something youre satisfied with. So that you didnt come here for nothing tonight. Qiao Qiao panicked. Little Uncle are you serious? Shao Jingmo smiled. What do you think? Although Qiao Qiao could understand Shao Jingmos expression, she couldnt quite figure out what he meant. Why didnt it sound like he was angry? He didnt really want her to order male models, did he? You hesitated. Shao Jingmo stared at her face. Qiao Qiao swallowed and tried to explain. l Shao Jingmos lips twitched. Qiao Guigui, you actually hesitated. Qiao Qiao: Now, there was no way to clear her name. Why should she guess his thoughts? Of course, she didnt go to the dance floor, let alone order male models. A few minutes later, Shao Jingmo held Qiao Qiaos hand and walked out of Bar Buff. As soon as she came out, the cold wind blew on her face and Qiao Qiao instantly sobered up. Jingcheng went forward and Shao Jingmo handed him the car key. To the Tianfang Water Pavilion. The Tianfang Water Pavilion was a personal property under Shao Jingmos name. In the past, when Qiao Qiao didnt return to Xingzhou, he often went there to stay. After Qiao Qiao returned to the Qiao family, he rarely went to stay at the Tianfang Water Pavilion. It was not appropriate to return to the Qiao residence tonight. So Shao Jingmo took Qiao O?ao to the Tianfang Water Pavilion for the night. Jingcheng went over and drove the car over. Shao Jingmo carried Qiao Qiao into the car. Qiao Qiao was already light-headed and dizzy. She obediently leaned into Shao Jingmos arms and closed her eyes to relieve herself. She suddenly remembered what Shao Jingmo had said about going to the Tianfang Water Pavilion. She suddenly opened her eyes and asked, Arent we going home? Shao Jingmo said, Yes, but were going back to our other home. Qiao Qiao nodded and closed her eyes again. Shao Jingmo said, Sleep for a while. Qiao Qiao wanted to sleep, but there were many things she didnt ask in her heart. She had held it in for a long time and couldnt sleep in peace. She struggled with herself for a long time. Finally, she found the courage to ask him, Why are you holding someone elses hand? Shao Jingmo frowned. What? Qiao Qiao said, l said, why are you holding Lin Xingruos hand? Before Shao Jingmo could answer, Qiao Qiao straightened up from his arms and said with a serious expression, You cant hold someone elses hand. You have to avoid others touching your hand, or Ill be jealous. Shao Jingmo smiled and pulled her into his arms. l know. Qiao Qiao blinked. ? Shao Jingmo did not explain much. For example, who was that scene for? He was like a fish in water in the Qiao family and had everything under his control in the business world. He should not have any weaknesses, but because of her, the person leaning in his arms now, he could only follow the plan and do what he had to do for the Qiao family. Therefore, Qiao Qiao didnt know how much Shao Jingmo was carrying. She only knew how to throw a tantrum. After throwing the tantrum, she began to regret it. Before she could apologize properly, she felt sleepy and fell asleep in Shao Jingmos arms. However, she did not sleep well. She rubbed against Shao Jingmos arms, causing his expression to darken. Finally, the car arrived at the Tianfang Water Pavilion. Jingcheng felt the atmosphere in the car change. Third Master, were here. Shao Jingmos voice was hoarse. Go back first. Dont worry about anything Jingcheng nodded and immediately got out of the car to leave. Shao Jingmo didnt carry Qiao Qiao out of the car. Instead, he locked the car door. His palm restrained the side of her waist and he lifted her slightly. Qiao Qiao sat on his lap. He had no intention of waking her up.. He went straight to the point in this cramped space Chapter 587 - Chapter 587: A Kiss as a Reward (1) Chapter 587: A Kiss as a Reward (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao suddenly woke up and moaned. The warm lips pressed against her ear. She didnt need to turn around to know that it was Shao Jingmos lips. The fragrance of the cedar was dispersed by the warmth of his body, and another rich scent almost drowned her. Shao, Jing, Mo. She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling. Shao Jingmo chuckled. Im on your body. After an unknown period of time, the automatic door slowly opened. As a gust of cold air blew in, Qiao Qiao couldnt help but shiver. Shao Jingmo covered her with his jacket and wrapped it around her slightly to prevent the wind from entering her collar to prevent her from being cold. His arm shot out. Qiao Qiao was extremely tired. She raised her eyelids and looked at him. What? Shao Jingmo said simply, Carrying you. Where are we going? Her voice was soft. Shao Jingmo said, Home. Qiao Qiao raised her eyelids and looked out of the window. The environment was unfamiliar. It was obvious that she had never been here before. She shrank back on the other side of the seat. Im not getting out. The discomfort in her body made her frown. Shao Jingmo leaned in and placed his arm on her side, He asked her in a low voice, Does it hurt? Qiao Qiao glared at Shao Jingmo with an extremely resentful gaze. It was all his fault as the culprit. She gritted her teeth and scolded him, Beast. Shao Jingmo smiled. Its not unpleasant enough. Qiao Qiao said, l cant bear to scold you too badly. Shao Jingmo pulled her over and carried her out of the car. But the word beast suits me. She slapped his chest. Youre shameless. With a bang, Shao Jingmo closed the car door. He looked down at her. It also depends on when and what occasion. For example, just now. Its not very suitable for having shame. Qiao Qiao: In the past, she always felt that the Shao Jingmo she knew was a very principled and serious person. Until she interacted with Shao Jingmo and opened a new world together, she realized that her understanding of Shao Jingmo in the past was so simple. This man was a hungry wolf in wolfs skin. Being a wolf was scary enough, but he was still a hungry wolf. Almost every time, he would torture her to the extent of devouring her. Moreover, his comprehension was high. He could always easily grasp her weakness and continue to attack it based on her slightest reaction. Qiao Qiao was already scared. But every time she couldnt resist him, she could only be bullied. She raised her face and stared at his jaw. Suddenly, she wanted to lean forward and take a bite. Actually, she had already done so when she thought that. She raised her neck and leaned forward. But she did not bite it. She kissed him on the jaw. It was like a feather scratching the surface of the water. Shao Jingmo stopped in his tracks and looked down at her. As a reward just now? Qiao Qiaos face heated up. What are you thinking? Shao Jingmo chuckled. Im guessing that you were about to bite me just now and suddenly changed your mind. You must have loved me very much, so you turned the bite into a kiss as a reward. It would have been better if he hadnt been so detailed. At the mention of such details, Qiao Qiaos small face heated up. If it werent for the dark sky, she would have looked so embarrassed. She noticed that Shao Jingmo was only wearing a thin gray shirt, and his original suit jacket was wrapped tightly around her. Qiao Qiao asked him, Are you cold? Carrying you is like holding a small heater. Do you think Ill be cold? There was a faint smile in his voice, especially gentle. Qiao Qiao was still a little angry. But the anger in her heart inexplicably disappeared when he saw him being so gentle. But there was still one thing to be said. She poked his hard chest. Dont be so fierce in the future. Shao Jingmo quickened his pace and asked her as he walked, When did I scold you? Qiao Qiao was a little embarrassed to say this. She stammered, Im not saying that youre fierce to me in tone. Its just that just now, just now Suddenly realizing that there was a family of three taking a leisurely walk in front of her, Qiao Qiao swallowed her words. That family of three should be the owners of the Tianfang Water Pavilion. The couple held hands and walked slowly behind. The child skipped ahead, holding a small scooter. It was a very warm scene. Qiao Qiao couldnt help but take a few more glances and fantasize about whether she and Shao Jingmo would have a child in the future. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the family of three, Qiao Qiao tilted her head and closed her eyes, pretending to fall asleep in Shao Jingmos arms.. Chapter 588 - Chapter 588: A Kiss as a Reward (2) Chapter 588: A Kiss as a Reward (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo looked down at the person in his arms and knew that she was pretending to be asleep. He did not expose her. As they walked past the family of three, Qiao Qiao vaguely heard the woman say to her lover, Do you remember when I quarreled with my parents back then and ran away from home in a fit of anger? When you found out, you came to find me and coaxed me for a long time. You even coaxed me to sleep. After that, you carried me home like this. The mans voice was like a gentle wind. It sounded gentle. You remember after all this time? The woman snorted a laugh. Im just forgetful, I didnt lose my memory. The man told her in a low voice, l didnt tell you. I hugged you all the way that day and my arms were trembling the next day when I opened the bottle of mineral water. The woman giggled. Thats for trying to be brave! The man said, If I dont force myself, Im afraid the person beside you now isnt me. Qiao Qiao pretended to be asleep all the way and didnt open her eyes when she entered the elevator. When she reached the floor and Shao Jingmo opened the door, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked, Is your arm sore? Shao Jingmo looked down at her. Are you awake? Qiao Qiao smiled in embarrassment. I was pretending to sleep. Shao Jingmo said, l know. Qiao Qiao said, Why ask if you know? Shao Jingmo said, l want to see how long youll pretend to sleep. Qiao Qiao kicked her legs. Then put me down now. Otherwise, it wont be easy for you to open the door. Shao Jingmo said, Thats what you thought. With that, the door opened with a click. It was a fingerprint lock, so it was easy to open the door even when he was carrying her. He carried her inside and hooked his foot to close the door. The switch is to your left, he said. Qiao Qiao reached out according to Shao Jingmos instructions and found it accurately. She pressed the switch and the entire living room was instantly as bright as day. This was the first time Qiao Qiao had come to the Tianfang Water Pavilion under Shao Jingmos name. It was completely different from the Qiao residences renovation style. This place was simpler and more in line with Shao Jingmos aesthetic taste. However, it was obvious that some of the furnishings had not been carefully planned. Qiao Qiao saw this detail and casually commented. However, Shao Jingmo said, Thats because Im waiting for a mistress. Qiao Qiao said, l dont know how. Shao Jingmo placed her on the sofa. You can try if you dont know. Im leaving it to you anyway. It doesnt matter if its a little late. Theres no hurry to stay. Qiao Qiao raised her head and asked him, Do you really believe in my aesthetic taste? Arent you afraid that Ill completely turn this place into the style 1 like? The style she liked was too fresh and young. It was completely different from the style Shao Jingmo liked. Even if they fused together, it was very abrupt. Shao Jingmo stood up. If the home that belongs to us can all become your favorite style, I will definitely look forward to coming home every day. Qiao Qiao bent her knees and stepped on the sofa, then stood up. This made her seem much taller than Shao Jingmo. She reached out and placed her hands on his shoulders. Did you see the family of three downstairs? Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Hm? Qiao Qiao scratched the back of his neck with her fingertips. Did you see that? Shao Jingmo said, 1 saw it. Qiao Qiao bit her lip. Although I was pretending to be asleep with my eyes closed, do you know what I was thinking? Shao Jingmo said. Thinking about our future? The smile on Qiao Qiaos lips suddenly disappeared. No way. How could you guess that? It wasnt a guess. 1 thought so too, he said. Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned. Shao Jingmo kissed her cheek. At that time, I was also wondering if that scene would be reflected on us three or four years later. A family of three. Qiao Qiao asked, What if its a family of four? Shao Jingmo said, Everythings fine. It was still early. Worried that Qiao Qiao would starve for too long, Shao Jingmo got Qiao Qiao a yogurt from the fridge and turned to the kitchen. Nowadays, Shao Jingmo rarely returns to the Tianfang Water Pavilion. The property management would regularly inform Shao Jingmo before changing the ingredients in the fridge. Shao Jingmos culinary skills were naturally not as good as Qiao Qiaos, but he couldnt bear to let Qiao Qiao cook, so he rolled up his sleeves and personally cooked two portions of seafood noodles. In the living room, Qiao Qiao turned on the television and shook her legs while drinking yogurt. She sat leisurely and waited for Shao Jingmos noodles to be served. The cell phone beside her buzzed. Qiao Qiao poked her head over to take a look. Seeing that it was a call from Mother Qiao, she quickly put the yogurt aside and took the phone to answer the call. Mom, she said in an extremely low voice.. Chapter 589 - Chapter 589: A Kiss as a Reward (3) Chapter 589: A Kiss as a Reward (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On the other end of the line, Mother Qiaos tone was unreadable. She only asked, Where are you? Qiao Qiao said, Outside. Mother Qiao said, Where outside? Qiao Qiao tried to lie. Just But before she could tell the lie, Mother Qiao interrupted. Youd better tell the truth. Qiao Qiao choked. At the Tianfang Water Pavilion. The call suddenly fell silent. Mother Qiao didnt ask anything else for a long time. Qiao Qiao poked her head out and glanced in the direction of the kitchen. It was impossible to go back tonight. How could she bear to go back now when she had run away from home and used her willfulness to exchange for some alone time? Fortunately, Mother Qiao did not say that she wanted her to go back. She only asked her, Have you had dinner? Qiao Qiao replied, Not yet. Little Uncle is cooking now. Mother Qiao nodded. Then eat. Come back early after work tomorrow. Qiao Qiao asked, Whats the matter tomorrow? Mother Qiao said, Nothing much. Now that your cousin is here, its good to accompany her. Qiao Qiao agreed. Got it. At the same time as the call ended, Shao Jingmo came out of the kitchen with two bowls of seafood noodles. He shouted, Qiao Guigui, wash your hands and eat the noodles. Qiao Qiao went to wash her hands and realized that Shao Jingmo had even placed chopsticks for her. She sat down and picked up her chopsticks. Im still blessed with food. Shao Jingmo pushed the plate of octopus sauce in front of her. Youre lucky just by eating a bowl of noodles. Youre too easily satisfied. Qiao Qiao scooped a spoonful of octopus sauce into the noodles and stirred it evenly. Im not greedy to begin with. Ill be satisfied with a little. Shao Jingmo looked at her. Then I hope youre a little greedy. After all, the money your husband saved up for you over the years is enough for you to squander for a few lifetimes. Qiao Qiao took a slurp of noodles, her expression as satisfied as her mood. Im a person who spends a lot. What if I finish spending it in advance? Shao Jingmo stirred the noodles in his bowl. Then Ill continue to earn until you have enough to spend. Qiao Qiao was satisfied with this dinner. The portion was better, and she wouldnt be especially full. If she hadnt remembered to maintain her figure, she probably wouldnt have been able to help but pick another handful of noodles from Shao Jingmos bowl. Fortunately, she held back. After dinner, she accompanied Shao Jingmo to clear the dishes. After that, the two of them watched a movie together. Qiao Qiao thought that she was the only one paying attention. Shao Jingmo just accompanied her to watch casually. However, she realized that when she was excited, Shao Jingmo could follow up with two sentences about the plot development. She also asked with a very surprised expression, Youre watching? Shao Jingmo raised his hand and tapped her forehead. Then do you think Im sitting here with you and not watching it? She giggled and snuggled into his arms as she continued to watch the entire movie. At the end of the film, she didnt know how she got together with Shao Jingmo. She forgot the beginning and the process. After that, it was out of control. It was very late. Shao Jingmo carried Qiao Qiao into the bathroom in the bedroom. The sound of the water didnt stop for a long time. When they came out again, it was already late at night. Qiao Qiao fell asleep as soon as she fell into bed. The next morning, Qiao Qiao was woken up by Shao Jingmo very early. If it was Sunday, she would definitely be angry when she woke up, but she had to go to work. She endured it, but she silently scolded Shao Jingmo thousands of times. They arrived at the company. Shao Jingmo took Qiao Qiao to the top floor for a meeting. Qiao Qiao was almost yawning the entire time. She had no choice. She couldnt help it. She was too sleepy. Song Yun, who was sitting beside her, asked her, Did you not sleep well last night? Qiao Qiao was about to yawn for the fifth time when she heard Song Yuns question. She quickly adjusted her expression. l didnt sleep well. Song Yun asked, Staying up late to play with your phone? Qiao Qiao said, Yes. Song Yun reminded her, Try not to stay up late playing with your phone. Its not good for your eyes and your physiology will be imbalanced. Qiao Qiao buried her face in her hands. Yes, Ill be careful. Song Yun kept feeling that there was something wrong with Qiao Qiaos reaction, but she didnt intend to ask further. Just as she was about to look away, she was suddenly attracted by a mark on Qiao Qiaos neck. After seeing the mark, Song Yun finally understood why she felt that Qiao Qiaos reaction was not right. Song Yun smiled meaningfully. Coincidentally, Qiao Qiao looked up and saw the meaningful smile on Song Yuns face. At that moment, Qiao Qiao really wanted to find a gap to hide in. Qiao Qiao! Shao Jingmo shouted. For a moment, everyones eyes fell on Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao tensed up and looked at Shao Jingmo in confusion. President Qiao, whats wrong? Shao Jingmo said, Come on a business trip with me later. Qiao Qiao asked, Business trip? After the meeting ended, the others left the meeting room one after another, leaving only Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo. They were both still sitting. Qiao Qiao asked curiously, How long is the business trip? Shao Jingmo said, Well be back tomorrow morning. Qiao Qiao stood up.. Isnt it Bai Fengjiangs birthday banquet tonight? Arent you going? Chapter 590 - Chapter 590: Welcoming Wolves Into the House, Fighting Wolves (1) Chapter 590: Welcoming Wolves Into the House, Fighting Wolves (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo leaned back and folded his hands in front of his abdomen. He looked up at her. l promised you that I wouldnt go to the birthday banquet. But if you dont go Qiao Qiao frowned. Shao Jingmo said, What will happen if I dont go? Qiao Qiao closed her eyes, looking weak. She shook her head and sat down. Ill listen to your arrangements. I dont have anything else to say. Her face was filled with conflict. How could Shao Jingmo not see it? However, he would not change his mind about what he had already decided. In short, if he did not attend Old Master Bai t s birthday banquet, he had to leave Xingzhou for a day. Otherwise, he would have to bring Lin Xingruo along and leave Qiao Qiao at home. He didnt want to see her jealous and angry, so even if it was just for show, he wouldnt cooperate. As the next business trip was urgent, Shao Jingmo reminded her, You dont have to go back to the office now. Ill get Dou Ying to send your bag over. Come to the airport with me later. Qiao Qiao nodded obediently. Got it. Shao Jingmo picked up his phone and called Dou Ying. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the conference room door. Shao Jingmo said, Come in. Dou Ying pushed the door open and walked in. She said, President Qiao, this is Qiao Qiaos bag. Shao Jingmo reached out. Dou Ying immediately handed her bag to Shao Jingmo and said, President Qiao, the car to the airport is ready. Shao Jingmo nodded. Go do the rest. Okay. Dou Ying glanced at Qiao Qiao and turned to leave. Shao Jingmo got up with his bag and went behind Qiao Qiao. He reached out to her. We should go. Oh. She put her hand on it. At this moment, Qiao Qiaos mood was in a mess. She had a lot to say, but it didnt seem appropriate to say a word. Once she said it, it would disrupt Shao Jingmos plan. Now that Shao Jingmos forces were all over Xingzhou, the Bai family had never dared to attack her because they were afraid of Shao Jingmo. But then again, the Bai family did not dare to offend Shao Jingmo easily. What about Grandpa? Grandpa was the only one attending tonight. What would the Bai family do to Grandpa? Qiao Qiao, who had been conflicted for a long time, finally mustered her courage and said to Shao Jingmo when the elevator was about to reach the first floor, Little Uncle, why dont you attend Old Master Bai l s birthday banquet? Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. If you want to scold someone, scold me. Shao Jingmo asked her, Then what should I scold you about? Qiao Qiao said, Anything is fine, as long as youre happy. Shao Jingmos voice was cold. Is this the solution youve thought of for a long time? Qiao Qiao bit her lip. Im worried about Grandpa. If you dont go to the Bai family, will the Bai family embarrass Grandpa? Why dont you take Lin Xingruo with you? Ding! The elevator reached the first floor. Shao Jingmo held Qiao Qiaos hand and walked out of the elevator. As he walked, he said, You just saw me help her up and you ran away from home. How can you tolerate her attending the birthday banquet with me today? Qiao Qiao said, I Shao Jingmo stopped in his tracks, and so did Qiao Qiao. He looked at her. Is it possible, after a sober and rational balance, to find that even something you cant stand seems to be easy to accept because of some things? This question stumped Qiao Qiao, She looked at him nervously. Its not Shao Jingmo said, l dont want a satisfactory answer. You dont have to make things difficult for yourself to give me a reluctant answer. I know. With that, he suddenly let go of her hand. The moment he let go, Qiao Qiao felt her heart drop. Shao Jingmo asked one last time, Ill give you another choice. Go on a business trip with me, or watch me bring another woman to the birthday banquet? Qiao Qiao frowned. Little Uncle Shao Jingmo said, You just need to answer. It took a lot of courage for Qiao Qiao to say, You, you go Before she could finish, Shao Jingmo interrupted, Okay, Ill go. Shao Jingmo returned the bag to her. Then cancel the business trip. You wont need to go back to the office now. Try to go back to the Qiao residence as soon as possible. He finished his instructions and turned to leave. Qiao Qiao stepped forward and asked, What about you? Where are you going Shao Jingmo ignored her and walked out. Qiao Qiao sighed. In the end, she could only take the elevator back to the office alone. When she met Dou Ying on the way, Dou Ying was surprised.. Arent you on a business trip with President Qiao? Chapter 591 - Chapter 591: Welcoming Wolves, Fighting Wolves (2) Chapter 591: Welcoming Wolves, Fighting Wolves (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao shook her head. President Qiao has something else on. The business trip plan will be postponed. Dou Ying was puzzled. President Qiao was already planning this afternoons business trip a few days ago. Why did he suddenly postpone it Qiao Qiao turned her head and asked Dou Ying, Youre saying that President Qiao already planned todays business trip a few days ago? Thats right. As long as Dou Ying knew about President Qiao, she basically wouldnt hide it from Qiao Qiao. Besides, President Qiaos plan is only to take you there. Although he goes to Long City for business all year round, he doesnt know much about some fun places in Long City. He even asked me to make a plan Realizing that Qiao Qiaos expression was getting stranger and stranger, Dou Ying stopped talking. At this moment, Qiao Qiao asked, Can I see the plan? The plan is in my cell phone file. I made it with my phone. Go back to your office first. Ill send it to you later. With that, Dou Ying raised her wrist to look at the time. My client is here. I wont talk to you anymore. Ill leave first. Qiao Qiao watched Dou Ying leave in a hurry and reminded her at the top of her voice, Secretary Dou, remember to send me that file. l know. Dou Ying had already walked away. Qiao Qiao returned to the office. Less than a minute after she sat down, she received a WeChat notification on her cell phone. She picked it up and opened it. It was a document from Dou Ying. After taking a closer look, she realized that there was no business plan in Long City at all. They were all scenic spots and delicacies. On the surface, it was called a plan, but in fact, it was a complete and detailed tourist guide to Long City. Qiao Qiao felt even worse after reading it. She endured in the office until she got home. She had just arrived at the living room when she heard Lin Xingruo call her from the second floor Sister Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao looked up and saw Lin Xingruo, who had already dressed up, smiling at her. Her smile was very bright, like a sunflower blooming under the sun. Tap, tap, tap. She came downstairs. Lin Xingruo walked a little faster when she went downstairs. In the blink of an eye, she was beside Qiao Qiao. She held Qiao Qiaos arm affectionately and said in a coquettish tone, Before I came here last night, I was thinking that I must sleep with you tonight and talk to you about many, many happy things Who knew that when I came out of the tilers place, I would hear that you had gone out? Sister Qiao Qiao, where did you go last night? Qiao Qiao said, A friend asked me out to play. Lin Xingruo snorted. You didnt even bring me along. Qiao Qiaos gaze fell on Lin Xingruos govvn. Youre not familiar with my friend. Im afraid youll feel uncomfortable if you go. Not at all. Ive always been very friendly. Qiao Qiao said, Youre called a social butterfly. Lin Xingruo smiled. Realizing that Qiao Qiao was looking at the gown on her, she stepped back a little and spun in front of Qiao Qiao. Then, she asked, Does it look good, Sister Qiao Qiao? Grandpa prepared this for me. He said that Im going to a banquet with Little Uncle tonight. Qiao Qiao asked Lin Xingruo, Do you know what kind of banquet it is? Lin Xingruo: Birthday banquet? Qiao Qiao looked surprised. You know? Auntie told me about the situation in the afternoon. I roughly know everything now. Lin Xingruo held up her dress and waved it in front of Qiao Qiao. Its the Bai family, right? Little Uncle and Grandpa were invited to Old Master Bai t s birthday banquet. They should have taken you there, but for some reason, they replaced you with me. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. So you already know. Lin Xingruo nodded. Yes, of course. Sister Qiao Qiao, just stay at home in peace. Ill go meet the Bai family for you. She did not know if Lin Xingruo did not know how dangerous the Bai family was, or if she did not take the Bai familys danger seriously at all, but her words were very unrestrained. Qiao Qiao wanted to remind her, but before she could say anything, she suddenly heard her grandfathers voice Youre back, Guigui. Qiao Qiao looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mother Qiao pushing her grandfather in a wheelchair over. Qiao Qiao and Lin Xingruo went forward at the same time. After Qiao Qiao called her grandpa, Lin Xingruo immediately showed off her dress in front of Old Master Qiao. Just like what she had shown Qiao Qiao just now, she spun around and asked, Grandpa, the dress you chose for me suits me very well. Old Master Qiaos gaze was attracted by Lin Xingruos dress. As long as you like it. Lin Xingruos voice was crisp. l really, really like it. At this moment, Mother Qiao suddenly said, Our Guigui should look good in it. Lin Xingruo looked at Mother Qiao, then at Qiao Qiao. She continued, Sister Qiao Qiao is beautiful and has a good figure. No matter what she wears, shes a fairy.. But Chapter 592 - Chapter 592: Welcoming Wolves, Fighting Wolves (3) Chapter 592: Welcoming Wolves, Fighting Wolves (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Xingruo paused and the smile on her lips widened to the maximum. She looked harmless. But sometimes good looks might not be suitable. The air was suddenly quiet. Qiao Qiao raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Lin Xingruo. The smile on Lin Xingruos face was as bright as before. Sister Qiao Qiao, am I right? Lin Xingruos thoughts were too obvious. She didnt hide them at all, allowing Qiao Qiao to see them clearly. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she could tolerate it. She looked at Lin Xingruo and smiled. Sister Xingruo is too right. It might not be suitable. Im not the only one who has to remember this sentence, You have to remember this sentence too. Old Master Qiaos voice came. Alright. Qiao Qiao and Lin Xingruo looked at Old Master Qiao at the same time. Old Master Qiao smiled and said, l know that the two of you are close. There are too many things to talk about the moment you meet. Theres plenty of time later. It doesnt matter if you didnt chat for a while tonight. With that, Old Master Qiao looked at Lin Xingruo. Xingruo, are you ready? If youre ready, well set off for the Bai family. Lin Xingruo said, Grandpa, Im ready. Old Master Qiao nodded. Then lets go. Lin Xingruo walked forward and stood beside Mother Qiao. Aunt, let me do it. Mother Qiao smiled and made way. Be careful. l know, Lin Xingruo replied, then pushed Old Master Qiao out. Soon, two servants came in to help. In addition, Shao Jingmo had also returned. He got out of the car and personally helped Old Master Qiao into the car. Lin Xingruo stood at the side shyly, her eyes never leaving Shao Jingmo. Mother Qiao glanced sideways at her daughter. Are you jealous? Qiao Qiaos gaze met Shao Jingmos for a moment. He didnt seem to see anything wrong with her. When Lin Xingruo got into the car, he got in too. As the car drove away, Qiao Qiao retracted her gaze and answered Mother Qiao untruthfully, Ive never liked to be jealous since I was young. I dont know what its like to be jealous at all. Niother Qiao laughed at her. Then why do you look so lonely? Qiao Qiao didnt realize that her emotions were all on her face at this moment. She only restrained her expression when she heard Mother Qiaos reminder. l just dont understand why Grandpa insisted on calling Lin Xingruo. Mother Qiao pulled Qiao Qiao to the cafeteria. Mother and daughter sat opposite each other. Mother Qiao asked her, Why cant it be Xingruo? This sentence brought back a lot of Qiao Qiaos troubled past. She raised her wrist and rested her chin on her palm. She told Mother Qiao some of the past. In the end, Qiao Qiaos tone unconsciously became much heavier. In short, as long as its something I have, unless she doesnt like it. Once she likes it, she will definitely want something like me. As time passed, I wont let her know if I meet something 1 like or something fun. Mother Qiao said, l know all this. Qiao Qiao said nothing. Mother Qiao asked, Then are you worried that Xingruo will snatch Jingmo from you now? This question was a question of death. Qiao Qiao didnt dare admit her feelings for Shao Jingmo in front of her mother, but it would be against her conscience to say that she didnt care. Even if Shao Jingmo wasnt here, she didnt want to say that. Alright, dont be so difficult. Mom wont ask anymore. Its just the three of us for dinner tonight. After dinner later, go to bed early. When you wake up, a lot of things will be resolved. Qiao Qiao nodded. Got it. The dishes were served one after another. Mother Qiao got up. Ill get your father. Qiao Qiao nodded. Okay. As soon as Mother Qiao left, the servant who came in walked to Qiao Qiaos side. Miss, someone is here to visit. Qiao Qiao asked, Who is it? The servant said, The other party said that he drank with you at Bar Buff. Youre friends. His name is Bai Chen. The moment she finished speaking, Qiao Qiao suddenly stood up. Bai Chen? The maid nodded. Qiao Qiao hesitated for two seconds before saying, Ill go take a look first. The Qiao residences iron door was not opened for Bai Chen. At this moment, Bai Chen was holding a bouquet of red roses and leaning against the iron door. Seeing Qiao Qiao come out, he immediately stood up straight and looked at her. I thought you wouldnt see me. Qiao Qiao stood inside the door and looked at Bai Chen through the metal door. Youre already here. Bai Chen, youre bold enough to wrap a bouquet of roses. Where did you get this? Bai Chen smiled. l bought it on the way here, I wonder if you like it? Qiao Qiao was surprised. You bought me flowers? Bai Chen nodded. Yes. Qiao Qiao looked puzzled. You came to my house and even bought me flowers. Bai Chen, what exactly do you want? The smile on Bai Chens lips deepened. Guess. Are you a child? You want me to guess? Let me tell you, leave now, or Ill let the dog bite you. Qiao Qiao pretended to be fierce. She had no ill intentions towards Bai Chen. Because he was not a real member of the Bai family. But she would not get close to Bai Chen because he belonged to the Bai family. However, Bai Chen did not leave because of her tone. He held the bouquet of roses in one hand and placed his other hand on the door. Theres a happy occasion in the Bai family tonight. Ive never been liked by the Bai family, and I dont have anywhere to go tonight. I wanted to buy a bouquet of flowers to freeload from you. Why dont you take me in on account of how pitiful I am? Qiao Qiao snorted. Are you teaching me to lure wolves into my house? Bai Chen asked, Do you know what the Bai family is planning to do tonight? Qiao Qiao glanced at him. What do you mean? What are you trying to say? Bai Chen knocked on the iron door three times. If you want to know what happens next, please open the door.. Chapter 593 - Chapter 593: Huge Misunderstanding (1) Chapter 593: Huge Misunderstanding (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Before Qiao Qiao could speak, the bodyguard beside her immediately reminded her, Miss, pay attention to what he says. Also, hes from the Bai family. Im not opening the door for him! Qiao Qiao stepped back a little. I also know that hes a member of the Bai family. Hes very dangerous. Bai Chen raised her hand and touched the half-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He smiled elegantly. Are you so guarded against me? Qiao Qiao deliberately corrected him. Anyone who comes to our house is a guest. Why would I be wary of guests? Youre wrong. Our family is wary of the Bai family. Unfortunately, youre a member of the Bai family. Then I cant open the door for you. Please go back. Tonight, everyone was at Old Master Bai t s birthday banquet. Her grandfather and Little Uncle had also gone there, but she knew that Little Uncle had arranged for many bodyguards to guard the Qiao residence tonight. At this juncture, Bai Chen came and even tempted Qiao Qiao to open the door for him with the thought of what would happen at the birthday banquet tonight Bai Chen took out a single stalk from the bouquet of red roses. He lowered his head and sniffed it before handing it in through the gap in the iron door. l understand that you dont like the Bai family. Then, can I receive the Qiao familys hospitality when I visit as Mu Chen? Qiao Qiao didnt reach out to take the rose. She asked in surprise, Whos Mu Chen? Bai Chen said, My biological fathers surname is Mu. I changed my surname. Mu Chen is also me. Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. Youre really going all out. You dont want the surname the Bai family gave you just like that. Bai Chens answer was very calm. Im not related to the Bai family by blood to begin with. Losing the surname Bai is insignificant to the Bai family. Finally, its not my turn to carry the word traitor. With that, Bai Chen winked at Qiao Qiao and smiled frivolously. On account of my sincere attitude, can you invite me in? Dont you want to know what happened at the banquet tonight? I can tell you. Qiao Qiao was not moved by Bai Chens words at all. She crossed her arms and said, Bai Chen, did you read the story of the Big Bad Wolf and the Seven Little Lambs in Grimms fairy tale when you were young? Bai Chen didnt quite understand. What? It seems that your childhood was not complete. You dont even know this fairy tale. Well, Im a little sarcastic. Not all children like to read fairy tales. Qiao Qiao was annoyed that she had spoken too quickly because she had ignored the fact that Bai Chen was Bai Qingfengs stepson. She had also forgotten that Little Uncle had said that Bai Chens mother had married into the Bai family when he was six or seven years old. His parents divorced early, so Bai Chen did not have a complete childhood. Her words just now accidentally pierced into Bai Chens heart. Why arent you saying anything? Bai Chen looked at her with a faint smile. Dont tell me you think Im angry? Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Sorry. Qiao Qiaos unintentional words just now did not anger Bai Chen. Instead, this apology made Bai Chen a little unhappy. The smile on her lips faded. l dont like to hear that word. Qiao Qiao said, I Bai Chen handed her the rose again. Im not coming in. Take the flowers as a greeting gift for being friends. Think about what youll give me the next time you see me. Qiao Qiao still didnt take it. wont take it. The most troublesome thing for me is to return the gift. Bai Chen looked at her gently. Then I dont want a return gift. This rose is for you. Qiao Qiao hesitated for a moment and reached out to take the rose. The bodyguard beside her immediately reminded her, Miss, its better to be careful. Qiao Qiaos hand froze in midair. She turned to look at the bodyguard and saw that he was very nervous and worried, afraid that something would happen to her because she took this rose. Qiao Qiao turned to look at Bai Chen, who was waiting for her to receive the flowers. He did not rush her. He just waited patiently. Qiao Qiao hesitated for about ten seconds before reaching over and taking the rose from Bai Chen. She said, Thank you. Surprise flashed in Bai Chens eyes. You actually accepted my roses. Qiao Qiao didnt understand why he said that. She lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance of the roses. Thank you for the roses, but dont think too much. I only accepted your roses, but it doesnt mean that I accept you as my friend. I dont care if your name is Mu Chen or whatever-Chen. In my opinion, youre still a member of the Bai family. It has nothing to do with your surname. She made it very clear.. Chapter 594 - Chapter 594: Huge Misunderstanding (2) Chapter 594: Huge Misunderstanding (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She also wanted to tell Bai Chen not to try to get close to her in the future, especially not to come to the Qiao residence openly like tonight. Even if he really didnt have any ill intentions, she couldnt let him into the Qiao residence. At this moment, Bai Chen asked her, What if I leave the Bai family? Can I be your friend? Qiao Qiao frowned. Why must you be friends with me? Bai Chen smiled. Of course its because youre very suitable to be friends. Qiao Qiao couldnt be bothered with him. She urged him, Hurry back. I have to go in. Alright, 1 was rejected when I came out to visit. Ive also set a precedent for your Qiao family. I hope I can enter the house the next time I visit. After saying that, he raised his hand slightly. Im leaving. When he came, he brought a bouquet of roses. When he left, he left one for Qiao Qiao and took the rest with him. Qiao Qiao watched Bai Chens figure disappear into the night. She didnt know how long she watched until the bodyguard beside her reminded her, Miss, its late. Lets go in first. Qiao Qiao looked down at the rose in her hand, then turned and went in. At this moment, Mother Qiao and Father Qiao were already sitting at the dining table. Seeing that Qiao Qiao had returned with a rose in her hand, Mother Qiao asked curiously, Where did the flower come from? Qiao Qiao casually placed the rose on the dining table. Its a wild rose in the courtyard. Mother Qiao said, Do you think Ill believe you? I know everything about the Qiao residence. How dare you lie to me when wild roses grow? Qiao Qiao: Father Qiao asked, Who from the Bai family is here? Qiao Qiao sat down and answered, The one from the Bai family Father Qiao interrupted her. Its fine if you patronize your mother, but dont patronize me. Qiao Qiao obediently placed her hands flat on the dining table and replied obediently, Bai Chen. Although Father Qiao had never seen Bai Chen before, he knew that Bai Chen was Bai Qingfengs son, but he was not his biological son. He was his stepson and was not liked by the Bai family. Father Qiao frowned. When did you deal with Bai Chen? Qiao Qiao reached for her chopsticks. Can we eat first? Father Qiao nodded. Then lets talk while we eat. The chopsticks were already in Qiao Qiaos hand. She picked up a meatball and said before eating, My grandpa taught me not to speak when I eat. Father Qiao was speechless. After mentioning her grandfathers words, Qiao Qiao avoided the topic. After the meal, Qiao Qiao planned to go straight back to the bedroom upstairs. Just as she went up the stairs, Mother Qiao suddenly stopped her. Qiao Qiao, you havent taken your rose yet, right? Dont you want them? Qiao Qiao said, No, Mom, help me throw it away. Its so beautiful. Why should I throw it away? Keep it. Ill throw it away when it wilts. Mother Qiao really felt that this rose was beautiful, so she kept it. When she was delivering milk to Qiao Qiao, she took this rose up for her and placed it in the vase in her room. Around ten oclock, it started to rain. Qiao Qiao moved the cushion to the tatami window. She hugged her knees and looked out eagerly. Her body was in a stiff posture. She sat in the same position for a long time, looking forward to seeing the car drive back. She began to sigh unconsciously. On the twenty-third sigh, which was just after eleven, a black car finally came into view. The Qiao residences door opened and the car slowly drove into the Qiao familys house before stopping in front of the villa. Qiao Qiao almost subconsciously got up and went down to pick him up sneakily like before. However, before she could get up from the cushion, she saw Shao Jingmo and Lin Xingruo holding the same umbrella after getting out of the car. Moreover, Shao Jingmos jacket was still on Lin Xingruo. At this moment, the feeling in her heart was simply indescribable. Old Master Qiao was sitting in a wheelchair with an assistant holding an umbrella and someone pushing a wheelchair. Behind them, Shao Jingmo held an umbrella and covered himself and Lin Xingruo. The two of them walked in unison. Lin Xingruo seemed to be talking about something happy. The star-like smile on her face had not disappeared since she got out of the car and entered. Qiao Qiao felt very suffocated. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she asked for it. She was the one who suggested that Shao Jingmo change his mind and bring Lin Xingruo to the birthday banquet. At this moment, Qiao Qiao was no longer in the mood to go downstairs. She was afraid of seeing a more depressing scene. She sat quietly on the tatami for a while, Just as she was about to go back to bed, she heard a knock on the door.. Chapter 595 - Chapter 595: Huge Misunderstanding (3) Chapter 595: Huge Misunderstanding (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations For a moment she thought she was hearing things, until the second and third knock came. Qiao Qiao immediately put on her slippers and ran towards the door. However, she did not open the door immediately. Instead, she took a deep breath to calm herself down before opening the door. Shao Jingmo was standing outside the door. He was still wearing a rain-stained jacket. His hair was not messy at all, and his face was still Qiao Qiaos favorite. As shed hoped, she opened the door and saw the person shed wanted to see most. The hidden joy in her heart was obvious, and the corners of her eyes quickly filled with smiles. She said, Youre back. Shao Jingmo pushed the door open a little and stepped into her bedroom. She stepped back when he stepped in until he reached out and closed the door. He raised his hand to untie his jacket and twist it away. Qiao Qiao took the initiative to help him take off his rain-stained jacket. She took her coat and turned around to get a hanger to hang it up. Behind her, Shao Jingmo reached out and hugged her. Im back, Qiao Guigui. He held her very tightly. The coldness on his body dissipated the moment he approached her, leaving only a room of gentleness. Qiao Qiao smelled his faint alcohol smell. It was not strong, which meant that he had only drunk a few glasses tonight. She could not turn around and could only let him hug her like this. With her back facing him, she asked, Little Uncle, do you want to take a bath? Ill fill the bathtub for you now. Shao Jingmo gently placed his chin on the crook of her neck. Ill fill the bathtub myself. Qiao Qiao asked again, How much did you eat tonight? Are you hungry? Do you want supper? Shao Jingmo chuckled softly. Why do you suddenly look so much like a domestic wife? As soon as your husband returns, you busy yourself around him. Qiao Qiao asked, Isnt that good? It means that youre all I care about. Good, but not exactly good, he said. Qiao Qiao was puzzled. l could understand whats good. But whats not good? Shao Jingmo said, Youre my wife, not the nanny I hired. When I get home, you just need to tiptoe and hug my neck and take the initiative to kiss me. You dont have to do anything else. Qiao Qiao grinned. Your awareness is so advanced. Shao Jingmo loosened his arm slightly and grabbed her shoulder to turn her around to face him. Actually, Im a little hungry. l knew you went to the birthday banquet. It was basically just a chat. Or you were just coping with the wine. You definitely didnt eat much. She straightened the jacket in her hand. Then wait. Ill hang up your clothes and make you supper. You can order whatever you want. If it doesnt take too much time, I can consider satisfying you. With that, she turned to hang up her clothes. Shao Jingmo pulled her back. Thats too troublesome. Qiao Qiao shook her head. It wont be troublesome. Cooking is a very easy thing for me. If youre bored waiting, you can go to the kitchen and talk to me. That way, you wont be bored. Shao Jingmo smiled. Its still too troublesome. Theres another better way. Qiao Qiao asked with a dazed and adorable expression, Are we going out to eat? Shao Jingmo raised his hand and unbuttoned his shirt unhurriedly. Its most convenient to eat supper here. Qiao Qiao stared at his hands as he unbuttoned his shirt. You, you, you, you Shao Jingmo picked up her hand. Help me untie it. If she had unbuttoned herself, she would definitely be familiar with it. Even though she had unbuttoned Shao Jingmo three or four times, she was still unfamiliar with it, as if she did not know how to unbutton it. Shao Jingmo looked down at her and saw all the nervous expressions on her face. He leaned forward and looked at her closer. Is it difficult to undo it? Qiao Qiao swallowed and ignored the face so close to her. Im holding your jacket in the crook of my arm. Its not convenient to move. Why dont you unbutton it yourself? Ill hang up your clothes first. Her face was hot. She grabbed her clothes and turned to leave. Shao Jingmo watched her leave in a hurry. Unknowingly, a smile had been on her face for a long time. After drinking tonight, he was a little thirsty. He went to get himself a glass of water. Approaching the table, he paused when he touched the glass of water, his gaze lingering on the rose in the vase. It wasnt big or small, but there was only one rose in it. Shao Jingmo remembered that when he went to the Bai residence tonight and met Bai Chen, he was holding a bouquet of red roses. This was just a thought. It was actually nothing. Coincidentally, when Bai Chen passed by him with the bouquet of red roses, he said, l wonder if Miss Qiao will like this bouquet. At that time, Shao Jingmo casually said, She doesnt like roses. Bai Chen asked, E ls that so? Thats a pity. I carefully selected every single rose in this bouquet. If Miss Qiao is willing to accept a rose, Ill be happy too. Shao Jingmo did not take Bai Chens words seriously. When he entered, he reminded Bai Chen, You cant enter the Qiao residence. Bai Chen smiled. It doesnt matter if I cant enter, but I will definitely let one of my roses stay by Miss Qiaos side. 1 hope Mr. Shao can see my flowers too. At this moment, Shao Jingmo did see it. The rose.. Chapter 596 - Chapter 596: It’s Really Only You (1) Chapter 596: Its Really Only You (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao hung up his coat and came over. She saw a rose in Shao Jingmos palm. Who sent it? he asked, looking at her. This tone sounded inexplicably interrogative to Qiao Qiao, but she didnt lie to Shao Jingmo. Its from Bai Chen. Shao Jingmo was not surprised to hear this name. He was here. Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes, he came once. Afraid that Shao Jingmo would be angry and think that she had come into contact with the Bai family, she deliberately explained, But I didnt let him in. I only spoke to him through the door. The bodyguards you arranged can prove it. Shao Jingmo walked up to her with the rose in his hand and asked, What did you talk about? Qiao Qiao tried to take the rose from his palm. He took advantage of your absence to fool me and even changed his surname to trick me into opening the door for him. Im not stupid. How could I open the door for him just because he changed his surname? Shao Jingmo raised his hand slightly and avoided her hand, not letting her take the rose away. You didnt open the door for him and even took his roses. Do you know what this means? The smile on Qiao Qiaos lips slowly disappeared. Why so serious? She pointed to the rose in his palm. The reason I took his flowers was because I didnt open the door for him to come in. Hed been standing outside the door for so long that I was overflowing with goodwill. I only took one. I wont take it again. Shao Jingmo looked at the vase on the table. Although he didnt say anything, he took one look at the vase and Qiao Qiao knew something was wrong. She quickly explained, l didnt bring these flowers up. Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Is that so? Qiao Qiao felt a little aggrieved. Mom brought me milk and brought it up. She said that this rose is very beautiful. Coincidentally, there are no flowers in my room. It looks good. It looks good Shao Jingmos fingertips loosened slightly. Just as the rose was about to fall from his hand, he suddenly pinched the flower just as it was about to leave his palm. Qiao Qiao didnt know what he was going to do. But she soon found out. She saw Shao Jingmo shatter the flower with her own eyes before turning to leave. Qiao Qiao was stunned for a few seconds until Shao Jingmo opened the door. She reacted and immediately chased after him. She pressed the open door and refused to let him leave. Why are you so angry? Didnt I explain everything? Shao Jingmo looked very tired. Move aside. Qiao Qiao really didnt understand why he was so angry. Are you so angry because I accepted a rose from Bai Chen? Shao Jingmo did not say a word. However, that cold expression and attitude had already silently said everything. Qiao Qiao really felt that he was being too overbearing, but she thought about how angry she had been when she only saw him help Lin Xingruo up. Thinking about it this way, Shao Jingmos anger seemed understandable. She had never convinced herself before half a minute had passed. She blocked his way and did not walk away. l can explain in more detail and clearer than that about Bai Chen giving me flowers. Ill answer whatever you ask, including everything I said to him. Isnt that enough? For the first time, she put on such a low front in front of him. However, he was Shao Jingmo. She was willing to lower her attitude in front of him. Dont be angry. I promise you that I wont accept anything from Bai Chen in the future. She said as much. However, Shao Jingmo said, Are you done? Qiao Qiao was stunned. Shao Jingmo said, Move aside after youre done. Im tired. Qiao Qiao was in a daze until Shao Jingmo left her. She stood at the side in a daze and watched him leave. Shao Jingmo! Qiao Qiao shouted at his back. However, Shao Jingmo had already walked away and did not look back. Qiao Qiao didnt chase after him. Instead, she raised her hand and slammed the door, scolding, Stupid bastard!! Ill at least listen to you when Im angry. What about you? Youre not even willing to listen to a word of my serious explanation. Do you think I have to have you The more she scolded, the softer Qiao Qiaos voice became. She slowly squatted down and hugged her knees. She pouted aggrievedly. It seems that youre really the only one, you stinky bastard Qiao Qiao was silent for dozens of seconds, looking forward to Shao Jingmos return in ten seconds. But ten seconds passed, thirty seconds passed, and two minutes passed. Shao Jingmo still didnt come back. Qiao Qiaos legs were numb from squatting. When she stood up, she almost fell.. Chapter 597 - Chapter 597: It’s Really Only You (2) Chapter 597: Its Really Only You (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She held her numb leg and moved to the bed step by step. She picked up her phone and called Li Xiwu, who was far away in the capital. It was very late. Li Xiwu, who was not used to staying up late, had already fallen asleep. It was Pei Jingzhou who answered Qiao Qiaos call and replied, Shes asleep. If its not very important, you can talk about it tomorrow. Qiao Qiao sniffed. l can also tell you, President Pei. Pei Jingzhou: In order not to affect Li Xiwus sleep, Pei Jingzhou went to the window to answer the call. He turned around and looked at Li Xiwu, who was sleeping soundly. Go ahead. Qiao Qiao began to cry sadly and didnt say a word for a long time. Pei Jingzhou lost his patience. Were you domestically abused? Qiao Qiao said, President Peo, this is more serious than domestic violence. Pei Jingzhou frowned. Wait a moment. Qiao Qiao said, Oh. Pei Jingzhou reminded her, The premise is that youre not allowed to cry or affect her. Qiao Qiao said, l know. Pei Jingzhou held his cell phone and returned to the bed. He placed his hand on the bedside table and turned on the bedside lamp. The wa_rm yellow light shone on the sleeping Li Xiwu. Pei Jingzhou leaned over and got into bed. Looking at Li Xivvus sleeping face, he really did not want to wake her up. It was already so late. If it was anyone else, he would have hung up long ago. But it was Qiao Qiao who called so late. Pei Jingzhou gently pushed aside the blanket and reached out to cover her eyes to block the light. He called out softly, Honey. Li Xiwu was not in a deep sleep. When she heard Pei Jingzhou calling her, she slowly opened her eyes. His hand covered the light from the bedside lamp. The moment she opened her eyes, it was not blinding. When she got used to it a little, Pei Jingzhou removed his hand. Are you sleepy? Li Xiwu had just been woken up from her sleep and was indeed a little sleepy. Her sleepy eyes were very relaxed. Whats wrong? Pei Jingzhou said, Its Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao. Li Xiwu pushed herself up from the bed. Wheres my cell phone? Pei Jingzhou reached out and took the cell phone from the bedside table. The call page was still maintained. Qiao Qiao was waiting for her. Li Xiwu took the cell phone and pressed it to her ear. Qiaoer. Qiao Qiao said nothing. Li Xiwu shouted again, Qiaoer, are you listening? Pei Jingzhou took a jacket and put it on Li Xiwu. Shes in a bad mood. She must have encountered something difficult. Hearing Pei Jingzhous words, Li Xiwus heart skipped a beat. She gripped her cell phone tightly and was about to shout again when Qiao Qiaos voice came. Bae Her nasal voice was strong, and it was obvious that she had been crying. Li Xiwu gathered her jacket. What happened? Qiao Qiao poured out all the bitterness in her heart. After she finished speaking, her mood improved a little. Li Xiwu listened carefully and then analyzed it for Qiao Qiao. He might be hiding something from you. It should be something very important to your Qiao family. Your parents should know, but Qiao Qiao said, But Mom and Dad wont tell me. Li Xiwu pursed her lips in silence. Qiao Qiao was not ignorant. Although she was not meticulous, her intuition had always been very accurate. She had always felt that Shao Jingmo was hiding something from her, as well as her parents and grandfather. It was as if everyone in the Qiao family knew and had the right to know. Only she could not know! Actually, I can pretend not to know about these things and obediently follow their arrangements. Ill walk the path they paved for me, but my relationship with Shao Jingmo isnt as good as I thought. Li Xiwu knew that Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo were together. She was close to Qiao Qiao. She would tell Li Xiwu almost everything that happened to her in Xingzhou. From the beginning to the end, Li Xiwu had high hopes that Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo would be together. During this period, she had also heard Qiao Qiao share some interesting things about her relationship with Shao Jingmo. She once felt that no matter what happened to the Qiao family in the future, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo would probably continue to hold hands like this. However, when she heard Qiao Qiao begin to doubt her relationship with Shao Jingmo, she didnt know how to comfort her for a moment. Qiaoer. Qiao Qiao said in a low voice, Yes. Li Xiwu said, l dont know much about Shao Jingmo, and the only thing I know about him is from you, but I cant determine what kind of person he is. You know best, right? Qiao Qiao replied, Yes. Li Xiwu continued, He was indifferent to you and made you become overcautious. This alone is enough for you to face the fate of this relationship seriously. Perhaps this is very difficult for you because I know that this is the first time youve fallen in love. You dont want to and are afraid of losing completely.. Chapter 598 - Chapter 598: It’s Really Only You (3) Chapter 598: Its Really Only You (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao was about to cry again. Bae, every word you say pokes at my heart. Li Xiwu chuckled. Make a decision. The call fell silent. There was no sound from Qiao Qiaos end at all. Li Xiwu was in no hurry and waited patiently. About a minute later, she heard Qiao Qiao sniffle. Then, she heard Qiao Qiao say, l know what to do. Ill hang up first. Li Xiwu nodded. Dont stay up late. Go to bed early. The call ended. Li Xiwu stared at the cell phone in a daze for a few seconds until Pei Jingzhou reached over and took the phone away. Its time to sleep. Li Xiwu turned to look at him. Did you hear everything? Pei Jingzhou placed his phone on the bedside table. Obviously. Li Xiwu moved closer to him. Then what do you think? Pei Jingzhou took off her coat. An upright official will have difficulties resolving family matters. With that, he pulled her to lie down. Li Xiwu was no longer sleepy. She wanted to sit up and chat, but as soon as she sat up, Pei Jingzhou pulled her down and she lay in his arms. She stopped moving and rubbed her brow against his chest, finding a comfortable position. Just give me an opinion, based on what youve heard. Pei Jingzhou remained silent. Li Xiwu pinched him lightly. Pei Jingzhou laughed softly. 1 shouldnt have woken you up. Li Xiwu pinched his finger and poked it instead. Chat with me. Although she had said a lot to enlighten Qiao Qiao tonight, only Qiao Qiao knew if it was useful. Those who did something wrong could just be persuaded. However, the probability of persuasion being effective for people in love was actually very small. Li Xiwu knew it too well, but she didnt think she had a love brain. Especially compared to Pei Jingzhou, who was more romantic. This was not her imagination. This was a fact that Pei Jingzhou had admitted. The Qiao familys matter hasnt been resolved yet, so I dont have any opinions on Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo for the time being. If I have to say what I think, then everything will come to an end after the Qiao familys matter is over. These were Pei Jingzhous rational words. Qiao Qiao didnt sleep well all night. The next morning, she woke up with dark circles under her eyes. Her hair was not washed and her face was not wiped. She sat at the dining table and yawned frequently. Compared to Lin Xingruo, who was dressed very exquisitely, she looked like a village girl. As Lin Xingruo smeared cranberry sauce on her toast, she asked Qiao Qiao, Sister Qiao Qiao, you look so haggard today. Did you not sleep well last night? As Lin Xingruo asked, Father and Mother Qiao looked over, but Shao Jingmo did not look at her. Qiao Qiao quickly glanced over and lowered her head. Im not feeling well. I dont have the energy to dress up. Mother Qiaos heart ached. Then take today off and dont go to the office. Qiao Qiao subconsciously glanced at Shao Jingmo. Lin Xingruo sensed Qiao Qiaos gaze and also looked at Shao Jingmo. Then, her gaze moved back and forth between Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo twice before she suddenly smiled. Lin Xingruo shouted, Little Uncle. Shao Jingmo was focused on eating breakfast and did not look at anyone. When he heard Lin Xingruo call him, he only nodded and did not look up. Lin Xingruo said, Sister Qiao Qiao doesnt seem to be feeling well. She wants to take a day off. Little Uncle, youre in charge of the company. Can you give Sister Qiao Qiao a leave? At this moment, Mother Qiao also said, Jingmo, shes not feeling well. Why dont we let her rest at home for a day today? Shao Jingmo put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth with a napkin. If the employees need to take leave, they need to look for their direct superiors, not me. Just go through the process. With that, Shao Jingmo stood up and left. Mother Qiaos expression changed. Jingmo! However, Shao Jingmo ignored her and walked far away. Even Lin Xingruo was a little surprised. Is Little Uncle in a bad mood? Qiao Qiao suddenly stood up. Mother Qiao looked at her daughter, who was in a daze. You dont have to go to the company. l didnt ask for leave from my direct superior. I still have to go, Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly and turned to Mother Qiao. Mom, Ill go to the company first. You havent finished your breakfast, Mother Qiao shouted. Qiao Qiao said, Ill go to the cafe downstairs to buy it. Lin Xingruo watched Qiao Qiao walk away with a curious expression. Did Sister Qiao Qiao and Little Uncle fall out? Why do both of them look so bad? Mother Qiao smiled faintly. Guiguis like this when shes uncomfortable. As for Jingmo, hes always like this. Lin Xingruo couldnt disagree. I think so. Qiao Qiao thought that by the time she came out, Shao Jingmos car would have driven away and he wouldnt be waiting for her. When she came out and saw that the car was still parked, she quickly ran over. She did not get into the car directly like before. This time, she asked outside the car, Little Uncle, can I take this car? Shao Jingmo was looking down at his cell phone. When he heard her question, he replied, Yes. Qiao Qiao opened the car door and got in. She said to the chauffeur, Drive, A few minutes later, the car pulled out of the villa and drove steadily down the wide avenue. Qiao Qiao wanted to talk to him, but every time she turned around and saw his cold and distant side profile, she swallowed her words. When she finally mustered the courage to speak, Shao Jingmo put away his cell phone and suddenly said, In three days, the grudge between your Qiao family and the Bai family will be completely resolved.. Chapter 599 - Chapter 599: Do You Know, Jingmo Likes You (1) Chapter 599: Do You Know, Jingmo Likes You (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao heard the words your Qiao family the most clearly. He had plucked himself out of the Qiao family. Although this was normal, combined with the tone of his voice when he said this just now, it made Qiao Qiao feel that he had been an outsider from the beginning to the end and had only been forced to get involved in this dispute! Qiao Guigui. While she was in a daze, Qiao Qiao immediately came back to her senses when she heard Shao Jingmo call her name. She looked confused. Whats wrong? Shao Jingmo looked at her. Did you hear what I said just now? Qiao Qiaos eyes dimmed. After taking a deep breath, she said, l heard you clearly. Shao Jingmo said, Repeat it. Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes and said in an extremely low voice, In three days, the grudge between our Qiao family and the Bai family will be completely resolved. She mimicked his tone. He used your so she used our, as long as he was happy. The car arrived at the company. When she got out of the car, Qiao Qiao thought that Shao Jingmo wouldnt wait for her, so she moved slowly. She even wanted to wait for Shao Jingmo to get in first before getting out of the car and not walk with him. But she was thinking too much. Shao Jingmo did not go in directly after getting out of the car. Instead, he stood outside the car and waited for her. Seeing that she was dawdling and not getting out of the car, he didnt rush her. He stood outside the ca_r and waited patiently. Qiao Qiao thought she was imagining things until she couldnt help but ask, Little Uncle, are you waiting for me? Shao Jingmo calmly asked, What else? Qiao Qiao quickly got out of the car. She tidied her clothes and said in embarrassment, l thought Shao Jingmos gaze landed on her. Ive made my promise, it doesnt matter even if there are only three days left. When he turned, she immediately followed and asked, And will it always count when you say you love me? She didnt know how she could suddenly ask this in front of him, and on such an untimely occasion. Fortunately, there were no passersby on either side. Of course, Shao Jingmo did not give her a straight answer. Only skimming the conversation to remind her, Youll preside over todays meeting. Qiao Qiao was in a daze. Got it. She wanted to chase him for clarification, but she was afraid of annoying him. Recently, the company had been busy enough for him. Now, there was the Bai family to worry about. So she was sensible and well-behaved and didnt pursue the matter. Because she thought that it would only take two days. He wouldnt be angry for long. When his anger surpasses, he might even pay attention to her. At this thought, Qiao Qiao couldnt help but smile. Even her mood improved a lot. She realized that she was quite easily satisfied, and it was after comforting herself. She only hoped that Shao Jingmo would be less angry with her in the future. At night, after dinner, Qiao Qiao took the initiative to push Old Master Qiao out for a walk. Old Master Qiao was naturally happy and smiled brightly. Mother Qiao reminded her, When the wind gets stronger, push your grandfather in as soon as possible. l know, Qiao Qiao replied as she turned to look for Shao Jingmo. Mother Qiao said, Jingmo took a call and went to the side hall. Qiao Qiaos eyes drifted for a moment. Im not looking for Little Uncle. Alright, do you think I didnt know about you? Mother Qiao took a thin blanket, folded it, and placed it on Old Master Qiao. She said to Qiao Qiao, ahead. Slow down. Dont push too quickly. l know, Qiao Qiao replied. She pushed Old Master Qiao out of the house while the servants followed from a distance of three meters in case of emergencies. Qiao Qiao pushed slowly and casually asked about Lin Xingruo in front of Old Master Qiao, Grandpa, isnt Cousin coming back to stay tonight? Old Master Qiao said, Xingruo is attending university here and has a lot of classmates. I heard from her that the classmates who asked her out today were very close in the past. Shes about to return to the capital. She thought that it would be rare to meet them in the future, so she went to stay at her classmates house for a night. Qiao Qiao nodded and asked, Cousin came to Xingzhou this time to attend Old Master Bai t s birthday banquet. Is there nothing else? Old Master Qiao turned around and asked, Guigui, what do you want to ask? l dont want to ask anything. I just want to tell Grandpa something. It was obvious that there was a hidden meaning in her words. She couldnt hide it at all. Old Master Qiao smiled and said, l knew you pushed me out, not for a simple walk. I cant be bothered to guess. You young people have too complicated thoughts. Tell me yourself.. Chapter 600 - Chapter 600: Do You Know, Jingmo Likes You (2) Chapter 600: Do You Know, Jingmo Likes You (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao pouted. No way. Its easier to guess what we young people are thinking. You old people are the ones. You keep your thoughts hidden so tightly that others cant tell at all. Oh? Then look. Do I look like I have something on my mind? Old Niaster Qiao asked her with a smile. Qiao Qiao shook her head. It doesnt look like it. Right? Hahaha. Old Master Qiao laughed a few times, but as he laughed, the smile on his face faded a little. He sighed and said calmly, Actually, there is. Soon, Old Master Qiao waved his hand. Lets not talk about me. Tell me about you. Qiao Qiao had thought that she would hear her grandfather take the initiative to chat with her. Obviously, she was thinking too much. Even if she asked her grandfather directly now if he was hiding something from her in dealing with the Bai family, her grandfather would not tell her. Knowing the consequences of asking, she simply knew better than to ask. She pushed the wheelchair and walked slowly. Uncle and 1 No, I think I should call him Shao Jingmo in front of you. Otherwise, it will mess up seniority. Old Master Qiao was interested. Its fine with the addresses, but Ive heard your mother mention that your relationship with Jingmo is much better than before. Qiao Qiao didnt deny this. In the past, Qiao Qiao would have echoed Old Master Qiaos words, but that performance sounded fake. Actually, Qiao Qiao didnt realize that Old Master Qiao knew very well that she and Shao Jingmo were acting lovingly in front of him every day. He just didnt say it out loud. He knew that even if he said it, it would be making things difficult for Qiao Qiao, so he had never deliberately mentioned anything. At this moment, Old Master Qiao suddenly raised his hand. Guigui, come here. Qiao Qiao walked around and squatted down on Old Master Qiaos right. She looked up. Grandpa. Old Master Qiao looked loving. Tell Grandpa the truth. After interacting with him for so long, havent you been serious about Jingmo at all? Qiao Qiao was very embarrassed. Her voice became blurry. Grandpa, do you think that Shao Jingmo and 1 are acting lovingly in front of you to reassure you? Old Master Qiaos expression was unfathomable, as if he had seen through everything. Your grandfather is just old, not blind. Of course I can tell. Qiao Qiao beamed and asked, What about now? Old Master Qiao thought for a moment. Its hard to say. You seemed to be acting quite well a while ago. In the past two days, your acting skills have deteriorated like before. Qiao Qiao: What? Her acting skills have deteriorated Old Master Qiao asked curiously, Did the two of you bicker because of something in the company recently? Qiao Qiao said, No. Actually, we have a good relationship. Old Master Qiao was a little surprised. Good? Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes, its really good. We arent acting. Its all true feelings. What I wanted to tell you just now is that I want to hold a wedding with Shao Jingmo after the grudge between the Qiao family and the Bai family is settled. You can host it then. Youre holding a make-up wedding? Old Master Qiao was even more surprised. Qiao Qiao nodded and said seriously, Grandpa, Im not joking. And I hope you can agree to let Shao Jingmo restore the surname Shao to the outside world so that he can marry me openly. At this moment, her face was filled with anticipation. She was already fantasizing about how beautiful it would be to put on a wedding dress and walk on the red carpet with Shao Jingmo. Now, just the fantasy made her yearn for it and look forward to this day. Old Master Qiao didnt know what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, he asked, Have you really thought about spending the rest of your life with Jingmo? Qiao Qiaos face was full of happiness. She nodded. Ive thought about it. Old Master Qiao asked, You wont regret it? Qiao Qiao subconsciously wanted to shake her head and tell her grandfather in a very firm tone that she wouldnt regret it. But just as the words were about to slip out, she hesitated again. Seeing her hesitation, Old Master Qiao reminded her, There are still many choices in the future. Theres no hurry to make a decision now. You still have to think about your own life before making a decision. Actually Ive already thought about it, Qiao Qiao said. The reason I didnt answer just now is that I think no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Feelings cant withstand the tempering of time, Over time, everything will fade easily. But now, Im really prepared to give my all. I want to spend the rest of my life with him.. Chapter 601 - Chapter 601: Do You Know, Jingmo Likes You (3) Chapter 601: Do You Know, Jingmo Likes You (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao was 100% sincere at this moment. However, as Old Master Qiao had said, If Jingmo hears you say these things, he should be very happy. l think so right? Qiao Qiao covered her face with both hands and smiled shyly. Old Master Qiao said in relief, Did you know that Jingmo likes you? Hearing this, Qiao Qiaos almond-shaped eyes widened slightly. Her reaction was surprise, but she was not surprised to know that Shao Jingmo liked her. Instead, she was surprised that her grandfather knew that Shao Jingmo liked her! Had her grandfather seen through it, or had Shao Jingmo told him? Old Master Qiao asked her, Are you surprised? A little. She made a a little gesture. Old Master Qiao gathered the thin blanket around his legs. 1 thought youd be surprised and ask me in disbelief once, twice, three times until you were sure it was true. But your reaction really surprised me. Qiao Qiao asked instead, Then how did you know, Grandpa? Old Master Qiao looked like he had seen through her. l could tell. But I dont think its obvious, she said. Old Master Qiao said, Thats what you think. Besides, you were too prejudiced against him at that time. You thought that he had snatched everything from the Qiao family and snatched away the inheritance rights that originally belonged to you. When you hated him, you would ignore everything he had done for you. Old Master Qiaos words hit Qiao Qiaos heart. She hadnt thought much of it before. However, after her grandfathers reminder, she realized that she had really neglected a lot of Shao Jingmos kindness to her because of her prejudice. She saw him as malicious. Naturally, she ignored his kindness to her. Every time she saw him, she either mocked or targeted him. It was rare for her to be pleasant. And he seemed to be used to it. No matter how willful she was and how she targeted him, he accepted it. Guigui. Old Master Qiaos voice came. Qiao Qiao answered sullenly, Yes? Old Master Qiao said, If youve really thought it through, that youll spend the rest of your life with Jingmo, then you have to live well. Qiao Qiao said, l will. Also. Old Master Qiao added, Guigui, you have to treat him better. He lost his parents a long time ago. Later on, I brought him into the Qiao family and acknowledged him as my son. Suddenly, he had a new family. However, in his opinion, he was always a child under someone elses roof and was not happy. The only happiness he had was given to him by you unintentionally, so Grandpa was not surprised that Jingmo liked you later. The night wind blew through the treetops, and the swaying branches rustled in the moonlight. Old Master Qiao pulled up the thin blanket on his body several times, but he still felt cold. He turned to the dazed Qiao Qiao and said, Guigui, the wind is rising. Push me in. Qiao Qiao replied, Yes. Not long after Qiao Qiao pushed Old Master Qiao in, a figure walked out from under the faint shadows of the trees. On the third day. Qiao Qiao went to work as usual. She yawned and looked listless. It wasnt that she had slept late last night, but she had been too busy for the past two days. Shao Jingmo had given her a lot of things to do at the company. She was so busy that her butt didnt touch the stool. She couldnt even take a sip of water. Other than being busy, she would often send Shao Jingmo some caring WeChat messages. As for why she didnt meet him, it was because he was also busy. Other than having meetings at the company, he would have meetings outside. There were too many dinner parties and various invitations to count. Qiao Qiao didnt know if it was her imagination, but Shao Jingmo had been nurturing her very carefully recently. Buzz buzz buzz. The cell phone on the table vibrated non-stop. Qiao Qiao rubbed her tired eyes from looking at the computer for too long, then took the cell phone and answered it. Shao Jingmos voice came from the phone. Where are you? Qiao Qiao replied, In the office. Shao Jingmo said, Come down. Ive arranged a chauffeur. Qiao Qiao perked up a little. Where are we going? Shao Jingmo said, Its fine if you dont come. Im going! Afraid that he would take back the call, she quickly saved all the pages on the computer and turned it off. She held the phone in one hand and quickly tidied her hair with the other, afraid she looked too disheveled. She quickly took the elevator to the bottom floor. The chauffeur was Jingcheng. He waved at Qiao Qiao. Miss, here. Qiao Qiao jogged over and glanced into the car before asking, Wheres Little Uncle? Jingcheng said, Third Master asked me to take you to a place. When we reach that place, youll be able to see him. Qiao Qiao didnt think much of it and quickly went to give someone an out. Then lets go. Dont just stand there. Jingcheng wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing that Qiao Qiao had already opened the car door, he sighed in his heart and followed her. After arriving, Qiao Qiao knew for the first time that the place Shao Jingmo wanted her to come to was the golf course. They have been busy for three days, why do they suddenly have the time for this? Jingcheng went forward and said, Third Master is inside. Qiao Qiao said, Lead the way. Jingcheng raised his hand and made a gesture. Lets go, Niiss. On the way in, Qiao Qiao tidied her hair and admired the scenery of the court. She had a feeling that she had been here before. It had probably been a long time, and she couldnt remember very well. She looked down at the clothes she was wearing. They werent very suitable for playing ball. She had to change it later. Thinking of playing golf with Shao Jingmo, her footsteps couldnt help but lighten. She followed Jingcheng into the sports car. When they were almost there, Qiao Qiao saw a few figures standing there. She had a good vision and saw Shao Jingmo at a glance. She was about to ask Jingcheng when she suddenly saw a scene that suffocated her.. Chapter 602 - Chapter 602: Let’s Get a Divorce (1) Chapter 602: Lets Get a Divorce (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo was holding a golf club with one hand and chatting happily with the person in front of him. At this moment, there was a young and beautiful woman standing with him. The woman was wearing a classic polo shirt and top with a pleated skirt. She wore a sunhat and leaned against Shao Jingmo with a smile. The man opposite seemed to have said something interesting, and the woman naturally leaned on Shao Jingmo and smiled. Then, the woman raised her head and hooked her finger at Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo leaned over slightly. The woman stood on tiptoe and hooked her arm around Shao Jingmo!s neck before kissing his cheek. Shao Jingmo did not push the woman away. Instead, he took the opportunity to stop the womans waist with a doting expression. Seeing this, Qiao Qiaos heart ached as if it was being strangled. Her face was ashen. She grabbed Jingcheng beside her and asked, Did you see that just Jingcheng was silent. Qiao Qiao asked again, Did you see it? Jingcheng didnt even dare to look Qiao Qiao in the eye. He turned his face away and avoided her gaze without answering. Qiao Qiao comforted herself. l must have been seeing things. Jingcheng clenched his fists and wanted to say something. Miss, actually You dont have to say it. Im seeing things. Qiao Qiao interrupted Jingcheng and turned around, staring fixedly in the direction she had just seen. There were tears in her eyes, and although they looked like they would fall countless times, she held them back. After the ball car arrived, Qiao Qiao ran over as soon as she got out of the car. Jingcheng didnt stop her and just followed silently. President Qiao, who is that? Someone noticed Qiao Qiao walking over and asked Shao Jingmo because she was unfamiliar. The moment Shao Jingmo turned around, Qiao Qiao stopped in her tracks. At the same time, the woman leaning against Shao Jingmo turned around. Wen Lu had seen Qiao Qiao once. She had a good memory and wouldnt remember wrongly. She took the initiative to raise her hand and wave at Qiao Qiao. Hi, Miss Qiao. To Qiao Qiao, this Miss Qiao sounded like a show-off and provocation. Qiao Qiao didnt back down. She walked over. Shao Jingmos gaze landed on Qiao Qiaos face as he said indifferently, Youre here. The moment Qiao Qiao opened her mouth, she heard her own broken voice. Im not late, am I? Shao Jingmo said, No. Wen Lu reached out to Qiao Qiao. Hello, Miss Qiao. My name is Wen Lu. Weve met before, you might not remember me anymore, but I remember you. Qiao Qiaos throat was sore, and her voice was hoarse. When have we met? Wen Lu mentioned, About two months ago, my father and I came to Deep Blue to discuss a collaboration. At that time, you came to deliver a document. My father thought that you looked a little familiar and asked Jingmo about your identity. Jingmo said that you were his niece. Although the outside world knew that Shao Jingmo was adopted by Old Master Qiao and was not related to the Qiao family by blood, after Shao Jingmo took over the Deep Blue Corporation all these years, he had not officially announced that he would leave the surname Qiao. The niece he was talking about must be from the Qiao family. At this moment, Wen Kaiqin, who was standing opposite her, said, The first time I saw Miss Qiao that day, 1 felt that she looked familiar. I was right. With that, Wen Kaiqin praised Wen Luz Lulu, you have a good memory. Wen Lu said, Dad, dont praise me outside, or Ill become smug. Wen Kaiqin laughed out loud. Qiao Qiaos lips also curled into a forced smile. l had just entered the company at that time. I wasnt familiar with many things. Wen Kaiqin continued, Then Miss Qiao should be completely familiar with everything in the company now, right? Qiao Qiao said, Im ashamed. Im a rather clumsy person. I learn everything slowly. No one cared about the modest words. With her identity, no one looked down on Qiao Qiao. Wen Lu noticed that Qiaos pretty face did not look very good. She asked with concern, Miss Qiao, you dont look too good. Are you feeling unwell? Qiao Qiao shook her head. Im not uncomfortable. Wen Lu raised her hand and called the caddie over. Go get a glass of plain water. Dont be too hot. Qiao Qiao looked at Wen Lu. Thank you, Miss Wen. Youre welcome. You can call me Lulu. Wen Lu smiled shyly. She held Shao Jingmos arm and looked like a gentle woman. We havent met much. Its normal for you to not be familiar with me. Perhaps it wont be long before our relationship takes another step forward. Qiao Qiao was confused.. What relationship? Chapter 603 - Chapter 603: Let’s Get a Divorce (2) Chapter 603: Lets Get a Divorce (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Wen Lu was reallv embarrassed to sav the word Aunt. It would make her seem unreserved and impatient. Wen Lu could only turn to look at Shao Jingmo. Arent you going to introduce me? Shao Jingmo lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Lu. There was no emotion on his face. But to Qiao Qiao, this scene was like a sweet couple looking at each other. Qiao Qiao couldnt stand it anymore. She lowered her head and calmed herself down. She tried her best to maintain a calm tone and asked, Arent you going to introduce me, Little Uncle? Shao Jingmo looked over. The occasion isnt that formal. I called you over to get to know President Wen. Since were at this point, let me introduce you. Wen Lu looked at Shao Jingmo hopefully. Qiao Qiao also looked at Shao Jingmo, waiting for him to continue. Mr. Wen was also waiting for Shao Jingmo to officially introduce his daughter, Wen Lu. Qiao Qiao. Her name is Wen Lu, my fiance. The moment Shao Jingmo finished speaking, Qiao Qiao seemed to hear something shatter. Only Wen Lu smiled happily. Qiao Qiao had seen that kind of happiness before. In the mirror, on her face. At this moment, Qiao Qiao really wanted to say that out loud: 1 was married to him a long time ago! Youre not a fiance! But could she really say it? Her rational mind told her not to say. What if the scene in front of her was just a show between Shao Jingmo and Wen Lu? Her horizons should not be so narrow, let alone ruin Shao Jingmos matter because of a moment of anger and jealousy. That had to be it. Because it was impossible for Shao Jingmo to fall in love with someone else, He even announced that someone else was his fiance. She was his wife. After comforting herself like this, Qiao Qiao finally felt a little better. But even if she convinced herself, the image of Wen Lu kissing Shao Jingmo kept flashing through her mind. The moment that image appeared, her heart felt like it was placed on the gallows as she suffered. Her eyes reddened and she fought not to cry. Wen Lu realized that her eyes were red. She asked curiously and worriedly, Miss Qiao, whats wrong? Qiao Qiao sniffed and shook her head. Nothing much. I just suddenly found out that Little Uncle is in love and will soon enter the marriage hall. Im quite emotional. His life is finally going to be complete. Wen Lu smiled happily. So youre sighing. 1 thought you didnt like me. Qiao Qiao shook her head again and forced herself to continue acting. How can that be? You have to be good to Little Uncle He used to be very bitter. Shao Jingmos eyes darkened and he suddenly said, Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao looked up at him sharply. Shao Jingmo said, Lulu and I are going to play golf for a while. Take your time to talk to President Wen about the bidding. When Qiao Qiao heard this, she didnt feel uncomfortable. Instead, she felt much more at ease. Look, he was just putting on an act. It was because of cooperation. There was no other reason. He hadnt changed his mind. When the collaboration was agreed, everything would quickly be back on track. She replied, l understand. Wen Kaiqin was very cooperative. During the entire conversation with Qiao Qiao, his attitude was very attentive. He had no intention of going through the motions. This also boosted Qiao Qiao!s confidence. However, she could not control her gaze. From time to time, she would look at the two figures on the court. Wen Kaiqin realized and said with a smile, Lulu fell in love with your Little Uncle at first sight. Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and looked away. Little Uncle is very outstanding. Many girls like him very much. Liking is one thing. To be able to gain his favor and win his heart is an ability. It took some effort for Lulu to woo him. Wen Kaiqins words were very emotional. He also said, Ive never seen her so concerned about anyone. Shao Jingmo is good in all aspects, and hes also my ideal and most satisfied son-in-law. Now that fate has arrived, what happens in the future will depend on their luck. Qiao Qiao echoed with a faint smile and didnt reply. The collaboration went very smoothly. After the discussion, Qiao Qiao couldnt wait to go home. She took the initiative to go over and say to Shao Jingmo, who was teaching Wen Lu how to play basketball, Little Uncle, I want to go home. She thought it would be almost over by the time they finished talking about the collaboration. However, Shao Jingmo only replied, Let Jingcheng send you back. Qiao Qiao asked, What about you? Wen Lu looked over. Dont worry. Ill send your Little Uncle back later.. Chapter 604 - Chapter 604: Let’s Get a Divorce (3) Chapter 604: Lets Get a Divorce (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao ignored Wen Lus words and looked at Shao Jingmo. Are you really not going back? Shao Jingmo changed his grip on the cue stick and didnt look at Qiao Qiao, who was standing at the side. He held Wen Lus hand and walked to the other side. You can go back first. You dont have to wait for me. Qiao Qiao stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Her hands and feet were as cold as ice, and she let the wind mess up her hair. She didnt know how shed left the field. She didnt know how she got home. Just like that, the afternoon passed in a daze. Shao Jingmo did not return even after dinner. Mother Qiao asked, Is Jingmo having a business dinner today? Qiao Qiao shook her head. Mother Qiao said, Then why didnt he come back? Qiao Qiao said, l dont know. Mother Qiao did not speak anymore. She turned to look at Father Qiao and asked softly, She looks like shes in a bad mood. Theyre probably bickering again. Father Qiao said the truth, One is in his early thirties and the other is in her early twenties. Do you expect them to respect each other for the rest of their lives? It would be strange if they didnt quarrel. Mother Qiao was speechless and scolded softly, l asked you to comfort your daughter, not make sarcastic remarks. Father Qiao corrected her. Thats not sarcasm. Thats the truth that people who have been through it can see. Its not a big deal. Itll be fine in two days. Didnt the two of us go through it like this? Mother Qiao stopped talking and ate in silence. After dinner, Qiao Qiao went back to her room. It wasnt that she was sleepy. She just didnt want her family to see her break down and doubt herself. It was a mess. She couldnt control it herself. She could only hide and not let them see or worry. Shao Jingmo did not come back very late tonight. It was exactly ten oclock. She sat on the tatami in front of the window and watched the car drive into the front yard. After the car stopped, Shao Jingmo got out of the car. Time passed. She calculated when Shao Jingmo would return to the bedroom. Hearing the door close, she got out of the tatami, put on her slippers, and went out. Standing outside Shao Jingmos door, she hesitated for a long time before she mustered the courage to knock. After three knocks, the door opened. Little Uncle. She smiled and tried her best to sound normal. Shao Jingmo had no intention of turning his body to let her in. He asked her, What is it? Qiao Qiao took the initiative to ask, Can I go in? She realized that she had been much humbler in this relationship recently. In the past, she could enter and leave his bedroom whenever she wanted. She had never asked for his wishes. At this moment, she still had to get his permission before she dared to go in. Fortunately, Shao Jingmo moved aside. Come in. Qiao Qiao was overjoyed. She went in obediently first. When Shao Jingmo closed the door, she secretly hugged him from behind. l just missed you. I wont ask you about today. Not a word. I promise. Shao Jingmo covered the back of her hand with his palm, pried open her arm, and turned around. Disappointment appeared on her face, but he didnt seem to see it. His expression was cold enough to keep her at bay for a thousand miles. You can ask about this afternoon. Qiao Qiao shook her head and smiled. Im not asking. I know you were just putting on an act. I understand now, and I wont be jealous. Shao Jingmos gaze flickered and he did not look at her. His tone was so cold that it was unreasonable. Im not putting on an act. Qiao Qiao stiffened. She didnt actually believe it, but she couldnt suppress the dull ache in her heart. She couldnt understand why he had to say that. When she spoke again, her voice was more muffled. l said I wouldnt be jealous. Im very sensible now. I wont mess with you, and Ill try not to be willful in front of you. Dont say these things to anger me, okay? She reached out tentatively and gripped a little of his cuff. Shao Jingmo raised his hand to avoid it. He walked past her and went to the bedside table to get a box of cigarettes. He turned around and went to the French window. He took out a cigarette from the box and lit it. He took a puff. When Qiao Qiao was around, he rarely smoked. Second-hand smoke was too harmful. He cared a lot about her health. Earlier, it had been out of frustration, but after reason, he stubbed it out again. Qiao Qiao walked over slowly. Seeing the cigarette he had stubbed out, she felt a little relieved. She asked him in a low voice, Has something happened to the company recently? No, he said. Qiao Qiao asked again, Then why do you look so frustrated? There was a two-minute silence in the air. He didnt answer. Qiao Qiao couldnt help but ask again, Is it about the Bai family? Shao Jingmos eyes did not move. She felt that she should have guessed correctly and continued, You said three days last time, but its already three days. Is it still not resolved? Actually, theres no hurry. Ill be obedient during this period and definitely not interact with anyone in the Bai family. Qiao Qiao, Shao Jingmo called to her. Qiao Qiaos reaction changed from a little stunned to surprised. You never call me Qiao Qiao. You always call me Qiao Guigui. Shao Jingmo turned to face her. Ill call you Qiao Qiao from now on. Qiao Qiao shook her head. No, I just like hearing you call my nickname. Im not calling you that anymore. Its not suitable, he said. Qiao Qiao was stunned for a while. Little Uncle She didnt lose control of her emotions or throw a hysterical tantrum, let alone question him. All her reactions were well behaved. She just wanted him to see the change in her. However, she did not understand why Shao Jingmos attitude towards her had changed so much since she came into contact with Bai Chen last time! She thought that they would be fine in two days. When Shao Jingmos anger subsided, they would be fine. However, for the past few days, Shao Jingmo had always treated her with a lukewarm attitude. Other than really wanting to teach her at work and being very strict with her, she did not feel any love from him. She didnt understand why this was happening. She lowered her head and said, 1 already know my mistake. Why are you still so angry? I Before she could finish, Shao Jingmo interrupted her. He said, Lets get a divorce.. Chapter 605 - Chapter 605: I Didn’t Let You Down (1) Chapter 605: I Didnt Let You Down (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao didnt mishear. She heard every word that Shao Jingmo had said. She stubbornly raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and asked him, Is it because of Miss Wen? Shao Jingmo did not answer. Say something. Is it because of Miss Wen? Qiao Qiao was very stubborn. The more he pretended to be unfathomable, the more she wanted a complete answer from him. But tears were always disappointing. As soon as they were wiped clean, they filled her eyes again. She raised her hand to wipe it several times. Her eyelids were red. Shao Jingmo only watched quietly as she wiped her tears. There were no ripples in his eyes, let alone the gentleness that he used to dote on her and love her. It was like a dream that no longer existed. Qiao Qiao choked and asked a question that made her feel especially embarrassed. If its not Miss Wen, then it must be because Ive made you tired of me and made you lose your novelty, right? Shao Jingmo ignored her emotions and replied, Yes. Qiao Qiao continued to ask indignantly, What about Miss Wen? Do you really like her? Shao Jingmo said, l like her. After the word like was said too easily, it became really cheap. What Qiao Qiao still didnt understand was, Because she makes you feel novel, or because her background brings you a lot of convenience? Shao Jingmo said, Both. Qiao Qiao heard her own hoarse voice almost indistinguishable. Then what am l? A joke after you had sex? Shao Jingmos expression was extremely cold, especially his cold eyes. They were like ice that could not melt. He only stood in front of her and did not say a word. In an instant, he became the distant moon in the sky when she looked up. In just a moment, they were like strangers. He looked at her coldly for a moment before answering her. Its consensual. Why take it too seriously? Qiao Qiaos chest tightened. l thought youd at least say something pompous to brush me off. That wont be necessary, he said mildly. Qiao Qiao shook her head helplessly. Weve been together for a few months, after all. Why did it become unnecessary in the end Are you so eager to cut ties with me? Shao Jingmo reminded her, The reason why youre willing to marry me is to get protection from me. After settling the matter with the Bai family, well get a divorce. This is what you said before. Perhaps you should still remember. He paused for a moment. While she looked stunned, he made another vicious cut. Also, during the marriage, both parties dont interfere with each others privacy and personal life, including how to divide the assets after marriage and the compensation for you. Its already written in black and white in the prenuptial agreement. If I remember correctly, you stared at the agreement three times that day. At this point, I didnt let you down. 1 didnt let you down. If she hadnt heard it with her own ears, Qiao Qiao wouldnt have believed that Shao Jingmo had said this. Her almost broken emotions kept wandering around the critical point, ready to erupt at any moment. She bit her lip hard, and her lips quickly broke because of her strength. Blood filled her lips and teeth, and the fishy sweetness quickly filled her nose. She suddenly felt that her brain was lacking oxygen, and the things in front of her swayed. She was a little dizzy. She didnt know if it was because she was angry, but her feet were even more unsteady. She tried to calm her emotions and adjust her condition so that she wouldnt be in such a sorry state. However, as she retreated, her body swayed uncontrollably. At this moment, a strong arm reached over and grabbed her arm. She couldnt wait to look up at him. Her eyelashes trembled, and she looked extremely pitiful. Little Uncle She tried to summon his affection, just like before. However, all she got in return was Shao Jingmos cold gaze. If youre not feeling well, go back and rest early. Qiao Qiao was stunned. The only hope on her face disappeared in a moment. She shook off his hand forcefully, causing her to lose her support. She took half a step back and accidentally fell to the ground. After falling, she looked around in confusion for a long time. For a moment, she did not know where the pain in her body came from. When she came back to her senses, it was all over her limbs. Shao Jingmo bent down to help her. Qiao Qiao stubbornly waved his hand away. Dont touch me. Shao Jingmos outstretched hand froze. Then, he actually retracted his hand. He stood in front of her and reminded her in an extremely heartless voice, You should know your place.. Chapter 606 - Chapter 606: I Didn’t Let You Down (2) Chapter 606: I Didnt Let You Down (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Know your place Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly. She propped herself up on the carpet and the wall with her other hand and slowly stood up. She backed away from him, putting her other hand on the wall to stop herself from falling again. It was enough to fall once. If she fell a second time, she would really be hopeless. She looked at him and imitated his current expression. She put on a cold mask. Im really sorry for making a fool of myself just now. Shao Jingmos expression did not change at all. Qiao Qiao didnt expect to see the expression she had hoped for on his face again. The man in front of her was extremely cold. He was also ruthless. As expected of the top businessman. After maximizing his benefits and calculating everything, he revealed the most terrifying capitalist face in front of her. She backed slowly to the door. In the distance, Shao Jingmo looked at her quietly. Qiao Qiao raised her hand to wipe the tears off her cheeks and turned to open the door. When the door closed again, she was only one door away from him, but from then on, they were separated by mountains and seas. She had thought that their relationship was the sweetest nectar. Who knew that in the end, it was a poison? The next morning. Mother Qiao came downstairs and found Qiao Qiao sitting alone on the sofa. After going down the last step, Mother Qiao walked towards Qiao Qiao. Why are you up so early today? Qiao Qiao looked up, her face very pale. After listening to Mom, I went to bed early last night So I got up early in the morning. You usually stay up late and dont listen even if I say it a hundred times. Whats wrong with you today? Did the sun rise from the west? Mother Qiao teased with a smile. After saying that, she reached out and touched Qiao Qiaos cheek. It would have been better if she hadnt touched it. When she did, she was shocked. Why is it so cold? How long have you been sitting here? Qiao Qiao forced a smile. For a while. You only know how to lie to me. If you really only sat here for a while, how could you be so cold? Even your hands are so cold. After Mother Qiao touched the coldness of Qiao Qiaos cheek, she quickly touched Qiao Qiaos hand. It was colder than her face. She had clearly been sitting here for a long time. Mother Qiao wanted to ask Qiao Qiao if something had happened, but seeing Qiao Qiaos pale face, she swallowed the words. She could vaguely guess what was going on. Mother Qiao was speechless. She turned around and went to get a shawl. She carefully wrapped it around Qiao Qiao and asked her, What do you want to eat for breakfast? Qiao Qiao said, Noodles. Okay, Mom will cook noodles for you. Mother Qiao patted Qiao Qiaos shoulder gently. Not long after Mother Qiao went to the kitchen, Shao Jingmo went downstairs. He saw her immediately, sitting on the sofa in the living room, but he ignored her presence. He buttoned the front of his suit and walked out the door.Seeing this, Qiao Qiao stood up and called out to him, Little Uncle. Shao Jingmo paused, but he did not turn around. Qiao Qiao walked over and stood beside him. She asked, Little Uncle, are you going out without breakfast today? Its still early. Her tone was soft, not quite the same as usual. Shao Jingmo did not look at her sideways and only said, Im not eating anymore. He was about to leave when Qiao Qiao stopped him again. Little Uncle. However, Shao Jingmo didnt stop walking until Qiao Qiao said, When are you going to give me the divorce agreement? It was this sentence that made the man, who had wanted to ignore her, stop again and turn around. Qiao Qiao had been calm for the entire night. Her heart was like ice, shattering one by one until now. It had never been her style to pester him. It was too degrading and undignified. She had waited early in the morning to ask Shao Jingmo for the divorce agreement personally. Shao Jingmo turned around and looked at her. What he saw was her overly pale face. At first glance, she looked like her soul had been extracted. Noticing that the redness in the whites of her eyes was very faint, it meant that she had not cried again after leaving last night. Only the dark bruise under her eyes was slightly heavier. She probably didnt sleep well last night. He spoke slowly, his voice not as cold and heavy as it had been the night before. The divorce papers will be in your hands by noon. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips, then nodded slightly. Shao Jingmo was not at the dining table today. Mother Qiao and Father Qiao had an unspoken mutual understanding. They didnt mention a word about Shao Jingmo. Actually, Qiao Qiao was very puzzled. Why did her parents seem to know everything even when she didnt say a word about Shao Jingmo? She couldnt help but wonder if it was arranged a long time ago. After breakfast, Qiao Qiao went to the company as usual. Before noon, Dou Ying sent over a yellow paper bag document. When she handed it to Qiao Qiao, she reminded her solemnly, President Qiao said that this is an important document. After youre done reading it, go up and look for him as soon as possible.. Chapter 607 - Chapter 607: I Didn’t Let You Down (3) Chapter 607: I Didnt Let You Down (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Dou Ying didnt know that the yellow paper bag document contained Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmos divorce agreement. She was only here to run errands and thought that the yellow paper bag document really contained big secrets related to the company. Qiao Qiao didnt open it immediately and replied, Got it. Thank you, Secretary Dou. Its fine, its fine. After Dou Ying conveyed the message, she left first. But before she left, she reminded Qiao Qiao, Youre not wearing makeup today. Qiao Qiao raised her hand to her face. Recently, there had been several times when she hadnt put on makeup at work, and every time, she looked the worst. She did not mind. After Dou Ying left the office and closed the door, she opened the yellow paper bag document. The words divorce agreement appeared at the top. Qiao Qiaos mood was as calm as a dead pool of water. She looked down expressionlessly. She still remembered some of the terms of the marriage agreement, but the couples assets had been notarized in advance. At that time, she thought that she wouldnt get much from Shao Jingmo after the divorce. But now that she had really received the divorce agreement, she couldnt help but sigh. Shao Jingmo was really generous. It was even a thousand times, ten thousand times more generous than she had imagined. More than 200 properties across the country were transferred to her name. The deposit accounts of a dozen international banks were also transferred to her name. There were also the company shares that had been transferred to her, making her the second vice president of Deep Blue Corporation, second only to his shareholding in Deep Blue. Was he crazy? Not to mention two hundred properties, the deposit accounts of the dozen or so international banks had already reached a jaw-dropping price. He had given her almost half of his assets, and he had almost nothing except the shares in the company. Qiao Qiaos hands were trembling at the end. She really did not understand why this man, who had already had a change of heart, this heartless and ruthless man, would give her all his assets when they broke up. A few minutes later, Qiao Qiao appeared in Shao Jingmos office with the divorce agreement. At that moment, he was in a video conference. Qiao Qiao tactfully stood at the side and did not disturb him. It was only after his video conference ended that she looked at her. Have you read everything? Qiao Qiao walked forward and placed the divorce agreement on the tan desk. l remember that the prenup didnt ask you to give me all your assets. Shao Jingmo leaned back and looked at her. You probably didnt see the end. Qiao Qiao was stunned. She really thought shed overlooked something. She picked up the divorce agreement again and scrolled to the end. She read it several times, then made sure it was no different from the version shed just seen. All I see is that youve transferred all the assets under your name to me. If theres anything Ive overlooked, you can remind me, she said, putting down the agreement. Shao Jingmo lowered his eyes for a moment, and complicated emotions flashed across them. They were dark and unclear, and Qiao Qiao couldnt see them. Under her vision, he only revealed an arrogant expression, not intending to explain much to the ignorant her. She waited a moment. Only then did Shao Jingmo slowly say, Ill leave it with you for the time being. Ill get it back later. Qiao Qiao choked on a laugh. If these assets really come into my hands, do you think Ill return them to you? Shao Jingmo said, Youre not stupid. Qiao Qiao asked, Can I take that as a threat? Shao Jingmos expression was calm. Obviously. Qiao Qiao sneered. I know you plan to officially leave the Qiao family and marry into the Wen family. When you marry Miss Wen, who tempts you, youll have everything in the Wen family Hah, youre indeed a capitalist. You calculated fifty steps in advance before you took that one step. Youll have almost everything in your sight. Shao Jingmo smiled. You understand everything. It seems that learning from me during this period of time has not been in vain. Qiao Qiao calmed herself down. l wont learn from you again. I dont want to become like you. After saying this, she went forward, picked up a pen, and signed her name on the divorce agreement in front of Shao Jingmo. She didnt know how forbearing Shao Jingmos expression was when she signed the paper. Because she had her head down and couldnt see. She signed her name neatly. After putting down her pen, she handed him the divorce papers. Ive signed them. Your turn. Shao Jingmo quietly looked at the two scrawled words on the paper. Looking at the tip of the pen, she signed very hard. The tip of the pen was almost cutting through the paper. Qiao Qiao looked at him and urged him, Its your turn to sign. Shao Jingmo did not take a pen or look at her. He only pushed the agreement aside and said, Its fine if you sign it. Qiao Qiao sneered. Shao Jingmo, dont let me have any expectations. He raised his eyes to hers. The expression on her face became very unfamiliar. It was no longer as lively as usual. After looking at each other for a moment, he accepted his fate and took the pen. Without hesitation, he signed the words Shao Jingmo in front of her. His strokes were very fast and smooth without any hesitation. Finally, he broke the last trace of anticipation in Qiao Qiaos eyes. He signed it. He signed it so readily. There was no trace of nostalgia. Qiao Qiao laughed self-deprecatingly. Shao Jingmo, were two different people from now one. Chapter 608 - Chapter 608: Chase Him Out of the Qiao Family (1) Chapter 608: Chase Him Out of the Qiao Family (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Shao Jingmo signed the divorce agreement, Qiao Qiao said, Can I make another request? Shao Jingmo put his pen aside. Speak. Qiao Qiao said word by word, l want you to move out of the Qiao residence today. Shao Jingmo looked up at her with a dark expression. Qiao Qiao was very calm. Since were divorced, I think its better if we dont live under the same roof again. What do you think, Mr. Shao? Although the last sentence sounded like she was asking for Shao Jingmos opinion, she had already made up her mind. She was just informing him. Shao Jingmos gaze landed on the divorce agreement that he had just signed and he said indifferently, After the divorce process and the transfer of assets, I will naturally move out of the Qiao residence. You dont have to remind me. Qiao Qiao leaned over slightly and placed her hands on the sandalwood table. She stared at him and said word by word, I want you to move out of the Qiao residence today. Shao Jingmo did not try to reason with her anymore and nodded. Sure. Qiao Qiao exhaled and slowly stood up straight. The corners of her lips curled up visibly. Although she was smiling, it looked a little forced. She said in an extremely relaxed tone, Shao Jingmo, Ive finally chased you out of the Qiao family. Shao Jingmo was expressionless. Qiao Qiao picked up the divorce agreement that Shao Jingmo had signed and slowly stepped back. Ive hated you since the first day you entered the Qiao family. Later on, I tried my best to chase you out of the Qiao family. Shao Jingmo smiled. l know. Qiao Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. Now Ive finally done it and chased you out of the Qiao family. Shao Jingmo said, Congratulations. Thank you. After thanking him, Qiao Qiao took the divorce agreement and turned to leave Shao Jingmos office. There was no one in the corridor. Qiao Qiao almost couldnt hold back her emotions, but she forced herself not to cry. She gripped the divorce agreement tightly in her hand and left with dignity. She was definitely not as inferior as last night. The elevator door opened and Song Yun walked out of the elevator with a document. The two of them met. Qiao Qiao, Song Yun shouted. Qiao Qiao was about to enter the elevator when she was stopped by Song Yun. She should have stopped and asked Song Yun if anything was wrong, but she didnt. She chose to ignore Song Yuns voice and walked straight into the elevator. Song Yun realized that Qiao Qiao was not in a good mood and followed her in. Qiao Qiao, why are you so pale? Are you feeling unwell? Qiao Qiao looked up at Song Yun and knew that she was asking out of goodwill. She didnt ignore her and shook her head at Song Yun. l dont have any makeup on. My lips are pale, so I look like Im sick. There was nothing wrong with this sentence. l see Song Yun couldnt ask anymore and prepared to go out. But at this moment, the elevator door had just closed, so Song Yun couldnt go out again. When she pressed the elevator button again, it was already past the time limit, so she could only follow Qiao Qiao down first before coming back up. The stack of documents in her arms was too thick. Song Yuns arms were sore and she switched hands. In the end, when she changed hands, she accidentally let go of a portion of the documents and dropped a few on the ground. Song Yun bent down to pick it up. Ill do it. Otherwise, youll be flustered and the other information will fall. Qiao Qiao helped and squatted down to pick it up. Song Yun quickly said, Thank you. Youre welcome, Qiao Qiao replied softly. She quickly picked up all the information and was about to return it to Song Yun when she noticed some content on the information. She suddenly looked up and asked, Is there going to be a shareholders meeting soon? Song Yun took the information and nodded at Qiao Qiao. Yes, in three days. Qiao Qiao let go and tidied a strand of hair by her ear. She asked casually, Why havent I heard that theres a shareholders meeting in three days? Song Yun stacked the information on the original information. Only the higher-ups in the company know that the company will hold a shareholders meeting in three days. It hasnt completely spread in the company yet. After all, its about changing the boss. How can it spread immediately? Otherwise, everyone will be in a panic and the entire company will be in chaos. Ding! The elevator arrived at the floor Qiao Qiao was going to. Before the elevator door opened, Qiao Qiao turned and asked, Is it because President Qiao is leaving? Song Yun asked Qiao Qiao in confusion, President Qiao didnt mention this to you? Qiao Qiao shook her head. No. The elevator door slowly opened and Qiao Qiao walked out. She turned around and glanced at Song Yun. As the elevator door slowly closed, Song Yun raised her hand to her mouth and lowered her voice. The new Presidents appointment and dismissal order is coming down. The company is going to change.. Chapter 609 - Chapter 609: Chase Him Out of the Qiao Family (2) Chapter 609: Chase Him Out of the Qiao Family (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations With that, the elevator door closed. Qiao Qiao stared at the elevator door in front of her, her mind filled with what Song Yun had just said. The new President is here. The company is about to change. Was it because Shao Jingmo had transferred a portion of his shares to her? Qiao Qiao didnt delve into the specific reason. Firstly, it was meaningless. Secondly, the things Shao Jingmo had given her would eventually return to him. To her, this wealth was only temporarily kept with her. Including Deep Blue Corporation. He had worked hard to manage it for so many years. How could he easily return it to the Qiao family? It was all an illusion. His ambition was unimaginable. Around four in the afternoon, when Qiao Qiao was dealing with work in the office, she received a bouquet of flowers from her colleague. The colleague said, It was sent by a man who claimed to be surnamed Bai. Qiao Qiao looked at the bouquet of roses in front of her. Bai Chen? The colleague shook his head. He only said his surname was Bai, but he didnt say his name. But this bouquet was given to you by name. Qiao Qiao reached out to take it and said to her colleague, Thank you. Her colleague smiled and teased, No one in the company has dared to woo you because President Qiao is around. No one dares to covet President Qiaos position as his nephew-in-law. I didnt expect someone outside to have already made the first move. Just now, I passed by and told everyone that this bouquet of flowers was given to you by a handsome man. All the male colleagues in the entire department are crying and regretting not wooing you earlier. Qiao Qiao smiled faintly and didnt feel uncomfortable with her colleagues teasing. Its a little exaggerated, but Im also single now. Her colleagues eyes widened. Really? Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes. She turned and placed the roses in her arms on the table. Her colleague came up behind her and asked, What about Mr. Bai, who sent the flowers? Qiao Qiao looked up. We just met. Her colleague left with a gossipy expression. Seeing that the door was closed, Qiao Qiao took out the card between the flowers. The pink-and-purple card had a line of gold-embossed writing on it: Can I come to your house for dinner tonight? At the bottom was a list of numbers. Qiao Qiao stared at the phone number for a while, then took the cell phone and entered this number. After five rings, the other party picked up. His extremely magnetic voice was slightly low. Hello. Qiao Qiao said, Im fine. There was silence for two or three seconds, then a low laugh came from the other end. It was as pleasant as a cello. If she hadnt seen it before, Qiao Qiao would probably have imagined Bai Chens appearance to a higher level. Bai Chen spoke slowly, her words clearly surprised. l really didnt expect you to call the number on the card. Qiao Qiao asked, Why? Isnt the phone number on the card yours? Yes, of course. Bai Chens tone changed from surprise to excitement. Its just that I didnt expect Miss Qiao, who wouldnt even let me in that night, to accept my roses today. You didnt throw them away. You even looked at the card and called the number on it. Qiao Qiao threw the card into the trash can, walked around the desk, and sat down in the chair. Bai Chen, do you know what happened to me because you ran to give me a flower that night? Bai Chen was curious. Oh? Allergic to flowers? Qiao Qiaos lips twitched. Im allergic to you. Can this be treated? Bai Chen sounded a little worried. Qiao Qiao said, Its incurable. Bai Chen said, Thats a pity. I like you so much and want to be with you. I even think that we might be the right couple. Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes speechlessly. Unfortunately, Bai Chen couldnt see it through the phone. At this moment, Bai Chen asked her, You havent accepted my flowers for three days. Why did you think of accepting my flowers today? Tell me the truth, are you moved by my persistence day after day? Qiao Qiao was puzzled. What did you say? Bai Chen chuckled. Although you rejected me that night, I was really happy that you accepted a rose from me. From the next day onwards, I sent roses to your company every day. You rejected me for three days, but you accepted it today and even called me. What does this mean? It means that youre moved by me. After rejecting it for three days, she received it today. Qiao Qiao only needed to think for a moment to know what was going on. For the first three days, the roses were intercepted by Shao Jingmos men, so she didnt know at all. As for why she received the roses today, it was because she and Shao Jingmo had divorced. Shao Jingmo tacitly agreed that others could woo her and did not stop the roses today. That was why they were successfully delivered to her.. Chapter 610 - Chapter 610: Chase Him Out of the Qiao Family (3) Chapter 610: Chase Him Out of the Qiao Family (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly. Her tone was not rushed at all. She calmly replied, Touched your ass. Bai Chen reminded her, Pay attention to your manners. Qiao Qiao said, l have no manners. What should I pay attention to? Bai Chen: He could tell that she was very angry. Could it be that Missy was bullied somewhere and specially called me to be her punching bag? To Bai Chen, this was the only reason. Qiao Qiao asked, Cant l? Bai Chen raised her eyebrows and laughed softly. Its not impossible. Anyway, youre on the phone. Go ahead and vent. Ill take it all. Qiao Qiao wasnt that bored to vent her anger on someone she wasnt very familiar with. As for her making this call, she naturally had her own plans. It wasnt appropriate outside. The company wasnt suitable either. As for home Qiao Qiao cleared her throat. Didnt you want to come to my house for dinner? On the other end of the line, Bai Chen perked up. Yes, of course I do. I really, really do. Qiao Qiao didnt relent immediately. She asked first, Why do you want to eat at my house? Bai Chen said, Going to your house is equivalent to getting your approval. Can I understand it that way? Qiao Qiao asked, Who said that? Bai Chen said, Me. Qiao Qiao chuckled. The topic was just right. She relented. Then come over. The line went quiet. As if to confirm that he had heard correctly, after about four or five seconds, Bai Chens not-very-convinced voice said, Really? Qiao Qiao said, Just you. Bai Chen said, Of course. Qiao Qiao said, I have to search you from head to toe, including your underwear. If thats unacceptable, hang up now. Bai Chen: After hanging up, Qiao Qiao put the phone back on the table. She glanced sideways at the bouquet of red roses and made up her mind. It was time to get off work. She swaggered out of the office with the bouquet of red roses. Jingcheng was in charge of picking her up. Seeing Qiao Qiao come out, he opened the car door immediately. Miss. Qiao Qiao got into the car with the roses and closed the door. At the same time, in the other car, Shao Jingmo saw Qiao Qiao come out of the company with a bouquet of roses and get into Jingchengs car. She seemed in good shape, unaffected by the divorce. That was good. At least he could rest easy. At night, Qiao Qiao was busy in the kitchen herself. Mother Qiao wanted to come in and help, but she was quickly chased out by Qiao Qiao. Im completely fine alone. Watch the television for a while. Let me know when the guests arrive. Ill welcome them. When Mother Qiao was driven out by Qiao Qiao, she asked curiously, Who exactly are the guests tonight? Qiao Qiao said, Youll know when he gets here. The more mysterious she was, the more curious Mother Qiao became. But she also knew that it was useless to be curious. Qiao Qiao definitely wouldnt say anything if she wasnt here. After Mother Qiao went out, Qiao Qiao continued to work. When it was almost 6:40 p.m., Mother Qiao came in and reminded Qiao Qiao, Hey, the guest you mentioned is probably here. Okay, Im on my way. Qiao Qiao washed her hands and wiped them on her apron before turning to leave. Seeing that she was going to welcome the guests like this, Mother Qiao reminded her, Take off your apron. No need. Its not like hes anyone particularly important. I dont have to pay attention to my image. Qiao Qiaos indifferent words made Mother Qiao speechless. At the entrance. There were bodyguards on both sides, and Bai Chen stood in the middle. He was dressed formally in a suit and trousers, shiny black leather shoes, and his hair was waxed. He had changed into gold-rimmed glasses to look good. After dressing so solemnly, he did look much more serious than usual. The only thing that was more out of place was that he was dressed so formally, but he was carrying a box of milk in one hand and a bag of fruits in the other. He looked like he was visiting relatives during the New Year. Qiao Qiao couldnt help but tease, Youre so down to earth. Bai Chen looked at her. His expression did not match his festive appearance. She did not know what he had just experienced, but his face was extremely ugly. Im a commoner to begin with. Its normal to be down to earth. Qiao Qiao smiled. Have your underwear been checked? Bai Chens face darkened. l thought you were joking. l cant help it. I have to think about the safety of my family, right? Im just afraid that youll bring something that will pose a threat to our family. Im just being safe. Who asked you to be a member of the Bai family? As Qiao Qiao spoke, she went forward and reached out to take the milk from his hand. Look at you. If you want to come, come. Why are you carrying so many things? Bai Chen said, Milk is heavy. Qiao Qiao reached the other side. Then Ill carry the fruit. Bai Chen said, Fruit is also heavy. Qiao Qiao retracted her hand and turned around. Then carry it yourself. Bai Chen walked to her side and said faintly, 1 didnt ask you to carry it. Noticing that Qiao Qiao was wearing an apron, Bai Chen asked, Are you going to cook for me tonight? Qiao Qiao glanced sideways at him. Instead of answering, she asked, Do you know why I let you into my house today? Bai Chen smiled playfully. Does Shao Jingmo know that you let me into your house tonight? Qiao Qiao said, He doesnt need to know. Bai Chen said, Maybe he knows. Qiao Qiao stopped in her tracks and turned to him. Im sincerely entertaining you tonight, so I hope youll be more sincere tonight and answer my questions.. Chapter 611 - Chapter 611: Farewell, We Will Never Meet Again (1) Chapter 611: Farewell, We Will Never Meet Again (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Bai Chen snorted. You call this sincerity? Qiao Qiao looked at him expressionlessly. If you know whats going on, dont talk nonsense. Its meaningless. The arrogant and confident expression on Bai Chens face instantly dissipated. Miss Qiao, youre making me feel very defeated. 1 thought you were moved by my sincerity and persistence in sending flowers. Thats why you invited me to your house for dinner. l thought it was clear when you came over, Qiao Qiao said. If I really knew better, I would have casually dressed up and come over empty-handed. Why would I have been worried about what to wear tonight? Why would 1 care about the gifts 1 should prepare? After all, your parents first impression is very important. The more Qiao Qiao listened, the more ridiculous she felt. She reminded him angrily, Bai Chen, Im inviting you to dinner. This isnt the first time Ive brought you back to my house to see my parents. Get this straight. Bai Chen chuckled and pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. You said that. But 1 didnt think so. Qiao Qiao: After leading Bai Chen in, Mother Qiao was the first to welcome him. Mother Qiao had never seen Bai Chen before, so she naturally did not know him. She looked at Bai Chen from head to toe and commented in her heart: Hes dignified, talented, and quite a handsome young man. Noticing that Bai Chen was carrying fruits and milk, Mother Qiaos expression changed. Its good that youre here. Why are you carrying so many things? Bai Chen was very polite. Auntie, this is my first time here. I didnt know what to buy, so I just bought some. Mother Qiao said, Young man, youre quite honest. The things you gave were also shocking. Qiao Qiao couldnt help but laugh at the side. She said, Alright, Mom. Keep the things. Bai Chen, please entertain her too. There are still two dishes that havent been stir-fried. Ill go to the kitchen first. Mother Qiao agreed and put down the milk and fruits. After Qiao Qiao went to the kitchen, the smile on Mother Qiaos face suddenly disappeared. She turned to look at Bai Chen and asked with a scrutinizing gaze, Your surname is Bai? Bai Chen did not avoid his surname and admitted frankly, Yes, my surname is Bai, my name is Bai Chen. Mother Qiaos face turned cold. The Xingzhou Bai family? Bai Chen nodded. Yes. The only family that could be called the Xingzhou Bai family was the Xingzhou Bai family, which was opposite the Qiao family. Although Mother Qiao really hoped that the person in front of her just happened to have the surname Bai, it was obviously just hope. The person in front of her was from the Bai family. However, since he was invited to the house as a guest, Mother Qiao naturally would not give the other party an ugly expression. She smiled understandingly, but her tone was much more distant than before. She casually pointed at the sofa. Sit down. Dont be restrained. Bai Chen did not feel nervous. He sat down on the sofa casually. When Auntie heard that Im a member of the Bai family, you almost chased me out immediately. Its really difficult for me to relax. Auntie, dont mind if Im too restrained. You dont look restrained to me. Mother Qiao sat down on the sofa opposite Bai Chen and reminded him, Its better to be honest. I dont like your glib words. Bai Chen restrained himself a little to make himself look less casual. Theres a good saying. The wind knows the strength of the grass. As time passes, people will see the heart. When I come more often in the future, 1 believe Auntie will slowly understand me better. Im definitely a very reliable person. Auntie, dont worry. Alright, who doesnt know how to say nice things? Mother Qiao asked seriously. How did you meet our Guigui? Bai Chen asked, Auntie, do you want to hear the truth? Mother Qiao made a move to get up. Bai Chen quickly said, In university. Mother Qiao looked cold. Kid, dont try to fool me just because I havent seen you before. Do you think Ill believe you? If Qiao Qiao and Bai Chen had really known each other in university, Mother Qiao wouldnt have only found out now, especially since Bai Chen was a member of the Bai family. At this moment, Qiao Ruzhang pushed Old Master Qiao downstairs for dinner. As soon as they arrived downstairs, the two of them noticed Bai Chen, who was sitting opposite Mother Qiao, Old Master Qiao was the first to recognize him and shouted, Youre Bai Chen? Bai Chen stood up and nodded. Grandpa Qiao. Behind Old Master Qiao, Qiao Ruzhang asked, Dad, who is he? Old Master Qiao said, Bai Qingfengs son, Bai Chen. Ive seen him a few times. You and Xiao Lin shouldnt have seen him before. When he heard that it was the Bai family, Qiao Ruzhangs expression changed slightly. Why are the Bai family here? At this moment, Bai Chen had already walked over. He looked at Qiao Ruzhang and called him uncle before explaining why he was here.. Chapter 612 - Chapter 612: Farewell, We Will Never Meet Again (2) Chapter 612: Farewell, We Will Never Meet Again (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Ruzhang was a little surprised. When did you meet Guigui? Bai Chen said, A long time. This kid said in front of me that he had known Guigui since university, and he said that he had known her for a long time. From the looks of it, hes not telling the truth, Mother Qiao said as she walked over from behind. Old Master Qiao smiled and said kindly, It doesnt matter if he knows her or not. Since Guigui invited him to our Qiao family as a guest, hes a guest of our Qiao family. Mother Qiao glanced sideways at Bai Chen and did not say anything. She turned around and went into the kitchen. Bai Chen leaned over slightly and greeted politely, Grandpa Qiao, how have you been? Old Master Qiao said, Other than my blood pressure being a little high, Im relatively stable. Bai Chen said, You have too many worries, so its not easy to lower your blood pressure. Old Master Qiao was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked up at Bai Chen and asked with a smile, Young brat, you can tell that I have too many worries. Then why dont you take a look again? Whats on my mind? Qiao Ruzhang sized up Bai Chen quietly. Bai Chen smiled meaningfully. Then I have to think carefully. At this stage, what else can Grandpa Qiao have on his mind Dinners ready! When Qiao Qiao came out, she saw her grandfather and Bai Chen chatting happily not far away, so she interrupted. Everyone came over and took their seats. Bai Chen sat next to Qiao Qiao. The first thing he asked after sitting down was, Qiao Qiao, wheres your Little Uncle? Arent you waiting for him? Qiao Qiao had just taken off her apron and handed it to the servant. Just as she was about to sit down, she heard Bai Chen ask her this. She was unperturbed. Hes busy, she replied calmly. She had yet to tell her grandfather and parents about her divorce and chasing Shao Jingmo out of the Qiao family, so she naturally would not mention it to an outsider like Bai Chen. l thought I would be able to see your Little Uncle tonight. 1 especially admire him. Bai Chens words were filled with regret. Qiao Qiao had already sat down. Admire him? It turns out that people like you, who think so highly of yourself, also admire others. Are you praising me? Or teasing me? Bai Chen smiled. Qiao Qiao gave him a sideways glance. Cant I even shut you up when youre eating? Old Master Qiao, who was sitting at the master seat, said, Lets eat. The food will turn cold later. With that, Old Master Qiao looked at Bai Chen and asked, Bai Chen, do you drink? Bai Chen said, l usually drink, but I drove here today. I still have to drive back later, so I wont drink. Alright. Old Master Qiao nodded. The atmosphere at dinner was very good. It was not considered harmonious, but it was a little warm. It was mainly because there was a chatterbox from the Bai familyBai Chen. Bai Chen could pick up any topic and chat about anything. He was not uncomfortable at all, let alone make the atmosphere cold. To use Qiao Qiaos description of him, it was, You really knew how to talk. Bai Chen continued, Ill take that as a compliment. Halfway through the meal, Shao Jingmo returned. Everyone was eating. At first, no one noticed. It was the servants voice who sounded. Third Master, everyone is eating over there. Qiao Qiaos hand froze on her chopsticks. Bai Chen noticed the change in Qiao Qiao and an ambiguous smile flashed across his eyes. Father and Mother Qiao looked in Shao Jingmos direction. Old Master Qiao shouted, Jingmo, youre back. Come and eat. We just sat down. Shao Jingmo walked over. There was no need to circle around. As soon as he arrived, he happened to be standing behind Qiao Qiao. His gaze landed on Old Niaster Qiao first and he replied gently, Ive eaten. What time did you eat? Old Master Qiao asked. Shao Jingmo said, Five forty. Old Master Qiao reached out his hand and gestured. Its already seven-thirty. Why dont you sit down and eat some more? The dishes on this table tonight were all cooked by Guigui personally. How can you have this fortune usually? Niother Qiao also said, Jingmo, why dont you sit down and eat some more? Shao Jingmo didnt say anything. His gaze landed on Qiao Qiaos back. Bai Chen, who was sitting beside her, took the opportunity to greet him. Hi, Mr. Shao. Shao Jingmo shifted his gaze to Bai Chen. Bai Chen put down his chopsticks and smiled brightly. Mr. Shao, we meet again, but this time, I came to your house shamelessly as a guest. Shao Jingmo glanced at Bai Chen. Youre indeed shameless. The smile on Bai Chens lips froze. At this moment, Qiao Qiao put down her chopsticks and said, Little Uncle, Bai Chen is a guest 1 invited. I hope you can respect my guest.. Chapter 613 - Chapter 613: Farewell, We Will Never Meet Again (3) Chapter 613: Farewell, We Will Never Meet Again (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Bai Chen didnt expect Qiao Qiao to speak up for him. The corners of his mouth instantly curled up, and he looked a little smug and show-off. Shao Jingmo looked at Bai Chen. Although he did not say anything, his gaze was clearly cold. The servant came over to refill the bowls and chopsticks. Although Shao Jingmo sat down, he did not touch his chopsticks and only sat quietly. His aura was strong to begin with. He sat there without saying a word or moving his chopsticks. The originally warm atmosphere at the dining table instantly turned cold. Father and Mother Qiao felt especially uncomfortable. Qiao Qiao was also uncomfortable, but she tried her best to hide her discomfort. She kept telling herself in her heart that this was her house and there was nothing to be uncomfortable about. Shao Jingmo was the outsider. Old Master Qiao hesitated a few times. In the end, there was an awkward silence. Bai Chen was the only one who ate especially well without being affected. After dinner, Shao Jingmo pushed Old Master Qiao back to his room. The door had to be closed to prevent a third person from entering. Clearly, he had something to discuss. Qiao Qiao was quite curious, but she knew that it was useless to be curious. She couldnt know what they didnt want her to know. Even if she went in, the things or topics they were supposed to talk about would be terminated because she was there. Qiao Qiao stood outside the door for a while, then turned around and went downstairs silently. Bai Chen leaned against the railing of the stairs and waited for Qiao Qiao. When he saw her coming down, he looked up at her. As the two of them got closer and closer until there was only one step left, he teased, Your Little Uncle doesnt look to be in a good mood. Did you make him angry again? Qiao Qiao crossed her arms and stood on the top step, looking down at Bai Chen. So what if I made him angry? Thats my business. Look at you. Youve eaten and played. Isnt it time to go home? Why dont you leave now? Ill walk you to the door. Bai Chen: When they reached the door, Bai Chen was a little unhappy. But Qiao Qiao was fast, and he had to keep up, so he was even more unhappy. Qiao Qiao, are you feeling guilty? He couldnt say that. However, Bai Chen was quick-witted. As soon as he said it, it hit Qiao Qiaos sore spot. Hence, Qiao Qiao, who was originally quite calm, immediately exploded because of Bai Chens words. Whats there to be guilty about? Whats there to be guilty about? I didnt do anything wrong. Why should I be guilty!! Bai Chen was intimidated by Qiao Qiaos aura and said in a weak voice, Your Little Uncle doesnt let you come into contact with me, but you let me in today. It just so happens that he came back. Isnt that enough for you to feel guilty? Qiao Qiao was stubborn. Its my decision to invite you here as a guest. What does it have to do with him? If you dont know how to speak, dont speak. Its unpleasant. Bai Chen: Her guilty conscience was too obvious. But he couldnt say that. She would bristle at the mention of it. Bai Chen chuckled. Alright, I wont say it, in case you beat me up later. Theres no one around now. For the sake of your meal tonight, ask me anything you want to ask. Ill tell you everything I know. There was indeed no one in the front yard. Everyone was inside. It was a good time to ask questions. The night wind blew with frost and dew. It was a little cold. Qiao Qiao gathered the collar of her sweater and tucked her chin into it. How will the matter between the Bai family and the Qiao family be resolved? She didnt beat around the bush. She asked directly. Before Bai Chen could answer her, she specifically said, I can tell if its true or not. Dont try to fool me, but if you insist on fooling me, dont even think about coming to my house for dinner again. Bai Chen chuckled. Theres a second time? Qiao Qiao didnt answer. Bai Chen took half a step back to her side and raised his hand to pat her shoulder. Are we friends now? Qiao Qiao glanced sideways at Bai Chen, who was grinning cheekily. Her lips moved and she said one word. Yes. Bai Chen patted Qiao Qiaos shoulder with some force. Then I definitely wont lie to my friend. Qiao Qiao snapped, Are you going to tell me or not? Its very cold outside! Ill say. Bai Chen sighed and looked up at the sky. Ill tell you everything. Ten minutes later, Qiao Qiao sent Bai Chen to the door and watched her walk out. After taking two steps, he turned around and said, Its cold outside. Go in early. Qiao Qiao put her hands in her jacket pockets and just looked at him. She pursed her lips for a moment and said, Thank you. Bai Chen smiled playfully. Arent you afraid that Im fishing and deliberately told you fake news? Qiao Qiao looked indifferent. Ill make my own judgment. Bai Chen sneered. Then why arent you going back? Cant bear to see me leave? Qiao Qiao smirked. Get lost. Bai Chen waved his hand. E Im leaving. The car wasnt far away. Bai Chen opened the car door. As he bent down to get in, Qiao Qiao suddenly called out to him, Hey. Bai Chen turned to look at her. Qiao Qiao asked, Bai Chen, have we met before? Have we? Bai Chen smiled wantonly. l dont have a very good memory. Maybe not. Qiao Qiao said nothing more. After watching Bai Chens car leave, she turned around and went in. She stood at the top of the stairs and hesitated. When she saw the servant passing by, she asked the servant if Shao Jingmo had come out. Then, she found out from the servant that Shao Jingmo was still in her grandfathers room. They had been chatting for a long time. Qiao Qiao didnt go upstairs to wait. She turned around and went to the vintage gramophone. Bored, she fiddled with it and waited patiently. There was a nine oclock beep from the Hermler clock. Qiao Qiao heard footsteps coming downstairs. She looked up and saw Shao Jingmo coming down. He had to pass by the gramophone when he went downstairs. Shao Jingmo couldnt avoid her when he came down. When she saw him coming, the anger in her heart surged and her expression darkened. Didnt you promise me that you would move out of the Qiao residence tonight? Shao Jingmo walked past her. l have to move my luggage, so I naturally have to come back. Qiao Qiao kept her distance and kept pace with him. Can you finish moving tonight( Shao Jingmo said, Im not sure. Qiao Qiao asked again, What about all day tomorrow? Shao Jingmo stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her. Dont worry about me going back on my word. The things will be moved away one after another. As for me, Ill only bore you for two more days. Two days later, youll never see me again. Qiao Qiao suddenly clenched her fists at her sides. She would never see him again Chapter 614 - Chapter 614: His Blessing, Her Love Chapter 614: His Blessing, Her Love Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo turned to leave, but Qiao Qiao suddenly stopped him. Wait! She acted subconsciously. When Shao Jingmo turned around and his gaze landed on her wrist, she immediately removed her hand. l havent finished speaking. If I dont make it clear now, Im afraid 1 wont have a chance in the future. You said it just now. After that we might never meet again. Shao Jingmos gaze stopped on her face and he said faintly, What else do you want to say? Qiao Qiaos lips moved slightly, and her voice was a little lonely. Is it that when someone doesnt love another person, they wont even be willing to give their patience to the other party? Shao Jingmo asked her, Is this what you wanted to say? Qiao Qiao shook her head. No. The atmosphere between them seemed to have returned to what it had been. At that time, Qiao Qiao had always been very afraid of Shao Jingmo. She was afraid of his dignity. She was afraid of his strong aura, and she was afraid of his dictatorship. In addition, she had always avoided him later. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that she had never treated him seriously all these years. Even though they had been in love for a short while, she was naturally enjoying his love and had never put in any effort. She was silent for too long until Shao Jingmo reminded her, Did you not think of anything to say, or did you not have anything to say to begin with? Yes, of course Her voice trailed off as she struggled to find the right words. At this moment, a servant walked over. The servant went to Shao Jingmos side and said, Third Master, the food is ready. Shao Jingmo raised his hand and gestured for the servant to leave. The servant understood the gesture and was about to turn around and leave when Qiao Qiao stopped her. Wait a minute. The servant turned around and looked at Qiao Qiao. Miss? Qiao Qiao glanced at Shao Jingmo, then at the servant and asked, You said that the food was ready. Who asked you to heat it? The servant replied, Third Master said Shao Jingmos voice was slightly cold. This is none of your business. Get down. Qiao Qiao said, Dont go! The servant was a little frightened, mainly because she had worked for the Qiao family for almost a year and had never encountered such a situation. The servant carefully measured Shao Jingmos expression and then Qiao Qiao!s. She made up her mind, so she said to Qiao Qiao, Miss, before Third Master went upstairs, he instructed me to heat up tonights meal after he came down. I only did as Third Master instructed. I dont know anything else. Why do you want to heat up the food? Qiao Qiao turned to look at Shao Jingmo. Shao Jingmo said matter-of-factly, Other than packing my luggage, 1 have to go back to the company to work overtime tonight. Ill have supper in advance. Who would believe that? But since Shao Jingmo had said so, Qiao Qiao didnt pursue the matter immediately. She raised her chin slightly and spoke faster than before. Now that you mention it, I seem to be hungry too. Lets eat together then. Will Little Uncle mind? Shao Jingmo looked at her quietly. Qiao Qiao gave a fake smile. Up to you. Shao Jingmo retracted his gaze and walked towards the dining room. Qiao Qiao immediately followed. There were four dishes on the table, all leftovers from the dinner. Usually, the leftovers from every meal would be thrown. They would never leave any behind. The reason why they were not thrown tonight was because Shao Jingmo had told the kitchen in advance. Qiao Qiao was puzzled. When exactly did he tell the kitchen? She clearly remembered that not long after dinner, Shao Jingmo pushed her grandfather upstairs. The only chance she had to look away from him was when she went to the bathroom! Could it be when she went to the bathroom? With that thought, she couldnt help but ask him curiously, When did you go to the kitchen to tell them to keep the leftovers? Shao Jingmo scooped a bowl of soup and took a sip. Then, he began to eat. He had no intention of answering her. Qiao Qiao asked directly, Was it when I went to the toilet? Shao Jingmo stopped picking up food and looked at her sideways. Dont say anything inappropriate at the dining table. Qiao Qiao hated his lecturing attitude the most. It was as if he was really her elder. She folded her hands and placed them flat on the dining table. She pursed her lips and said, When we were eating, Grandpa asked you to join us. I remember you clearly said you werent hungry. Shao Jingmo took his time to answer her as he ate slowly. I just said that I have to work overtime at the company tonight. Its not wrong to have more food in your stomach. Qiao Qiaos watery eyes flashed, and she lowered her voice a little. You keep throwing me indifferent words. Its as if Ive always been easy to fool. Shao Jingmo looked at her sideways. Qiao Qiao met his deep gaze impartially. You could have asked the kitchen to make you another serving. Why did you have to eat leftovers? His answer was watertight. The kitchen doesnt know when Ill be down. The meal tonight will be edible once its hot. Itll take too long to make another one. I dont have time to wait. Qiao Qiao choked on a laugh. Its really hard to get the truth from you. Shao Jingmo continued to eat. His every move was noble, and so was his eating. He was neither fast nor slow and was pleasing to the eye. There were also bowls and chopsticks in front of Qiao Qiao, but she didnt use them. She had only eaten dinner not long ago, so she wasnt hungry at all. She propped her chin on her palm and leaned forward slightly, deliberately finding a topic to ask him, Is my cooking good? Shao Jingmo said, Its alright. Qiao Qiao said, Just alright? Isnt this evaluation too low? Shao Jingmo said, Theres still room for improvement. Qiao Qiao said for no reason, You could have enjoyed my cooking for the rest of your life. Treat it as if Im not blessed, he said mildly. Qiao Qiao choked. She stared at him in silence, barely even blinking, until her eyes were faintly sore and red. She was quite afraid that she wouldnt be able to control her emotions and cry like this in front of him. She took a breath, trying to steady herself. Her gaze became a little distant. She tried to force back the tears in her eyes. However, how could she avoid Shao Jingmos gaze? He saw all these subtle changes, including the moment when she almost cried He tightened his grip on the chopsticks in his hand and lowered his eyes to restrain his emotions. Didnt you just say that you wont see me again, that you still have something to say? Lets say it now. Ill be almost done eating by the time youre done. Qiao Qiao pressed her lips into a straight line. After a moment, she said, l havent thought of anything to say yet. Ill think about it when I do. These four dishes were originally leftovers, but they seemed to suit Shao Jingmos taste. In the end, there was not much left. Qiao Qiao waited quietly at the side until he finished eating and stood up. He said to her, Ive already gone back to my room to pack a portion of my luggage before I came down just now. Someone will come and move it tomorrow. Ill tell you in advance so that you wont rush me. Im not that unreasonable. Ive already chased you out of the Qiao residence. How can I be so mean that I wont give you time to move out of the house? Qiao Qiao stood up. . Ill send you out. Shao Jingmo glanced at her and did not refuse. Okay. The car was parked outside the gate yard. Qiao Qiao followed Shao Jingmo out. He had come back alone tonight. Without a chauffeur, he would drive himself. He went down the steps and turned to her. Go inside. Qiao Qiao stood on the steps. 1 dont want to go in yet. Its good to be in the cold. Shao Jingmo looked at her. Qiao Qiao smiled faintly. l forgot to tell you that I havent told Grandpa and Mom and Dad about our divorce. Shao Jingmo said, Grandpa already knows. The faint smile on Qiao Qiaos lips disappeared. Just now? Yes, Shao Jingmo said. I went to see Grandpa. Ive said everything I need to say. Live well from now on, Qiao Guigui. With that, he opened the car door and got in. Qiao Qiao took a step down the stairs. At this moment, the window rolled down. When Shao Jingmo looked over, she raised her foot back. He looked at her. Its cold outside. Go inside. Qiao Qiao shook her head. She stood there, watching him from a distance that was neither close nor far, until the window slowly rolled up and he drove away. Under the night sky, her lonely figure swayed slightly. Her tear-filled eyes stared at the back of the car in the distance, then she murmured, There wont be a farewell.. Chapter 615 - Chapter 615: Forget Him (1) Chapter 615: Forget Him (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On the night Shao Jingmo left the Qiao residence, Qiao Qiao had insomnia for the first half of the night. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She finally fell asleep in the latter half of the night, but she only slept for less than two hours. When she woke up at four in the morning, she could not fall asleep again. Without turning on the lights, she crept out of bed, fumbled for her coat at the end of the bed, and put it on. Then she went to sit quietly on the tatami in front of the window. Without any sense of time, she sat until dawn. Then she was sick There was no high fever, no nausea, and no dizziness. She was just like an eggplant that had been frostbitten. She was listless, looking very haggard. Mother Qiao invited the family doctor to take a look. Qiao Qiao didnt make a fuss. She was very cooperative with the doctor the entire time. A few minutes later, the doctor closed the door and came out. Seeing Mother Qiao and Father Qiao waiting anxiously, the doctor shook his head at them. Mother Qiao was shocked. How can it be so serious? Father Qiao didnt look any better. We were talking and laughing last night. Everything was fine. Why would she The doctor said seriously, What I mean by shaking my head is that Miss Qiao is fine. As soon as she said this, Mother Qiao and Father Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. Mother Qiao said to the doctor unhappily, You could have just said it. Why did you have to shake your head? I was so frightened that I thought it was a serious illness. The doctor frowned, his expression grave. Theres nothing physically wrong with Miss Qiao at the moment, but if she continues like this, her psychological situation might not be very optimistic. Father Qiao asked, What do you mean? The doctor said, Theres too much on her mind. This state didnt just show up today. Im guessing its been going on for a few days. Father and Mother Qiao looked at each other. They also knew about Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmos divorce. Not long after Shao Jingmo came out of Old Master Qiao!s room last night, they also went in and found out about the divorce, Qiao Qiao had been hiding her emotions very well recently, especially in front of her parents and grandfather. She looked almost the same as usual, in the company too. No one knew how unhappy she was. Only when it was late at night was she in her worst mood. She had been suppressing it and had never let it out, so she was extremely pained and even tortured herself repeatedly. Finally, last night, the secret she wanted to know the most was in front of her. Everything came crashing down, and the line of defense that had supported her body finally broke. Mother Qiao pushed the door open and entered. Qiao Qiao was sitting on the bed. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, and her face was very pale. She had been staring at a certain place for an unknown period of time with her empty eyes. That emotionless state made Mother Qiaos heart ache. Guigui. Mother Qiao walked to the bed. Qiao Qiao was in a daze when Mother Qiaos voice brought her back to reality. She slowly raised her head to look at Mother Qiao and called out hoarsely, Mom. Hearing this hoarse voice, Mother Qiaos heart was about to break. She sat down by the bed and reached out to cup Qiao Qiaos face. Whats on your mind? Can you tell Mom? Qiao Qiao looked at Mother Qiao quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled sarcastically. Theres nothing to say. Mother Qiao frowned. Is it because of Jingmo? There were tears in Qiao Qiaos eyes, but that wasnt a sign that she was going to cry. She realized that after her mood became neither sad nor happy, her emotions no longer rose and fell. She couldnt cry even if she wanted to. Mother Qiaos heart almost ached when she saw this. l know its because of him. Qiao Qiao looked away, and Mother Qiaos hand fell. He liked another woman. Whats so important about him that you cant let him go? He didnt hesitate when he agreed to marry you, and he didnt hesitate when he mentioned divorce. What does that say about you? It means that you didnt matter to him from the beginning to the end. He didnt take you seriously at all. Listen to Mom. Theres still a long way to go. You dont have to waste it on him. Hes not worth it. When Mother Qiao finished saying, Hes not worth it, Qiao Qiaos emotions suddenly fluctuated greatly. She didnt refute Mother Qiaos words, but pushed her away. Get out! Get out! Mother Qiao did not expect her daughter to have such a big emotional reaction because of what she said. Guigui Mother Qiao hesitated. Seeing that her daughter was in an extremely bad mood, her heart ached. When it comes to him, you can still keep your heart calm. Once I say that hes not good, you lose control of your emotions. He affects you too much. Chapter 616 - Chapter 616: Forget Him (2) Chapter 616: Forget Him (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiaos eyes were red. Get out! Okay, okay, okay. Dont be angry. Mom will go out now. Mother Qiao stood up. Her hands, which were hanging by her sides, seemed to have nowhere to put them. She sighed. Ive arranged for a servant to guard your door. If you want anything or eat anything, just shout. Qiao Qiao didnt say anything. She bent her knees and hugged her legs. She rested her chin on her knees and zoned out. In the end, Mother Qiao stopped nagging and turned to leave. As soon as the door opened, Mother Qiao saw Father Qiaos concerned face appear in front of her. Seeing her come out, he immediately went forward and asked, What happened just now? Why did it suddenly cause such a big commotion? Mother Qiao looked unhappy. She almost fell out with me when I mentioned Jingmo. Father Qiao said angrily, Why are you still mentioning Jingmo at a time like this? Are you afraid that Guigui wont be able to forget him for the rest of her life? Dont you know that Guigui had a secret worry now? If I dont mention Jingmo, who will I mention? Mother Qiao quickly lowered her voice and quietly closed the door. She pulled Father Qiao to the side. Be quiet. You cant let her hear you. Father Qiao looked back at the closed door, almost overflowing with worry. From what you said, the divorce procedures are already in progress. Mother Qiao nodded. Ive been watching the process. Well get the divorce certificate by tonight at the latest. Were finally free. l think after interacting with him for the past few months, Guigui really likes Jingmo. Otherwise, she wouldnt be so reluctant. Father Qiaos tone was filled with regret. Unfortunately, she and Jingmo are not fated. Mother Qiaos face darkened. Alright, dont mention anything thats already a foregone conclusion. Although the doctor said that Guiguis condition is a mental illness and needs a heart medicine, the doctor also said that time is also a good medicine to cure a mental illness. When he leaves, everything will return to the right track. Over time, Guigui will slowly forget about him. In a year or two, she might forget about him completely. At three in the afternoon, Qiao Qiao was disturbed by some noise. She opened the door and came out. When the servant saw her go out, she immediately asked, Miss, what do you need? Qiao Qiao looked at the people standing in the corridor not far away. Who are they? The servant turned and glanced in that direction, then said to Qiao Qiao, Miss, its a moving company. Qiao Qiao said, Moving The servant looked at Qiao Qiaos expression and said, l heard that Third Master is moving out of the Qiao residence. Those people were hired by Third Master from the moving company. Qiao Qiao looked in that direction. Did they just arrive? Yes. How long will it take to move? Im not sure about that. I think theyll be able to move it all by tonight. When theyre done Before the servant could finish speaking, Qiao Qiao suddenly walked over. At this moment, there were four movers standing in Shao Jingmos bedroom. Jingcheng stood at the innermost area. Wherever he pointed, he would say, Dont touch these. And dont touch these. The worker asked, So which ones do we move? In here. Jing Cheng pointed at a cubicle in the bedroom. When the worker rolled up his sleeves and was about to start work, Jing Cheng specially reminded him, The items are precious. You have to be careful, especially those that are covered. Theres no need to open them without permission. Just move them properly. The workers agreed in unison. They were all movers hired by professional companies, so they naturally wouldnt cause trouble. After Jingcheng opened the door, the workers entered one after another. At that moment, Qiao Qiao was standing at the door, watching the workers enter the cubicle one after another. She had been to Shao Jingmos bedroom many times and knew that there was a cubicle there, but she needed a key to enter. She had always been curious. She had even secretly asked Shao Jingmo if he could give her a special privilege and let her go in to see what rare treasures were hidden inside. However, she was always tricked by Shao Jingmo, so she had never gone in until now. Soon, the two workers carried out a frame because it was covered with a burgundy flannel. No one knew what was under it. The worker looked up and saw a young girl standing at the door. He kindly reminded her, Its a valuable item. Please make way. Qiao Qiao didnt leave. She walked in. Without saying a word, she reached out to lift the burgundy flannel, but before she could touch the corner of the flannel, Jingcheng, who came out of it, stopped her immediately Miss, wait! Jingcheng ran over and blocked Qiao Qiao with his body.. Chapter 617 - Chapter 617: Forget Him (3) Chapter 617: Forget Him (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao looked up at Jingcheng. The nervousness on his face conveyed to her that there was something very important under this covered frame. Qiao Qiao was expressionless. Ill just take a look. It wont take much of your time. Jingcheng shook his head. No. Qiao Qiao asked, Why cant I see it? Jingcheng explained clumsily, This is Third Masters personal item. Its very expensive. I hope Miss wont make things difficult for me and let my people move it away successfully. l didnt say that I wouldnt let you move the things. Qiao Qiaos tone was a little heavy, and her expression wasnt very good. also said that Ill just take a look. It wont take up much of your time. Jingcheng stood in front of Qiao Qiao and didnt move at all. Im sorry, Miss. Its inconvenient. Qiao Qiao said, What if I insist on it? Jingcheng remained silent. Qiao Qiao used all her strength to push Jingcheng away, but her little strength was useless. Jingchengs body didnt move at all. Since she couldnt do it openly, she had to do it in secret. She suddenly squatted down. Jingcheng thought in disbelief that she was going to crawl in and immediately leaned over to pull Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao took the opportunity to push his hand away and lift the burgundy flannel. She desperately wanted to know what was under that flannel. But when she really opened it, she regretted it. There was a huge oil painting embedded in the frame, and the person in the portrait was her. Every frown and smile was almost lifelike, In the painting, she stretched out her hands as if she was gesturing. But she had forgotten. She had no impression of what she was gesturing at. She couldnt remember the clothes she was wearing in the portrait or the scene she was in. The only thing she was sure of was that Shao Jingmo had painted the painting. There was a signature at the bottom: Mo. Qiao Qiao had already seen the oil painting, so Jingcheng wasnt too flustered. If he hadnt deliberately gone easy on her just now, Qiao Qiao wouldnt have had the chance to lift that flannel. If she saw it, so be it. Missy should have seen it anyway. Miss, youve already seen the paintings. Please dont make things difficult for us to move these paintings, okay? Jingcheng said. Qiao Qiao retracted her gaze and looked at Jingcheng. You mean, theres still a portrait of me inside? Jingcheng was silent. Qiao Qiao walked in and Jingcheng stopped her. Miss, theres no need. Its not up to you to decide if its necessary or not! Qiao Qiao waved away Jingchengs obstructing arm and entered the secret room. One, two, three, four There were about fifteen or sixteen paintings in sight, most of them oil paintings and a few sketches. They were all framed, and the visual scene almost shocked Qiao Qiao. When did he secretly draw so many portraits of her behind her back? The date. Shed forgotten to look at the date. In addition to the signature, there was the date. A year ago, two years ago, the day before he came to the capital to pick me up Qiao Qiao read the signature and date under each oil painting over and over again. Every time she read it, a tear fell. She reached out slowly, her hand trembling slightly in midair as she tried to touch the oil painting. That painting just now was how Miss looked when you stood outside the salon to attract customers the first month you went to the capital. Jingchengs voice sounded. Qiao Qiao turned around. That oil painting just now? Jingcheng nodded. Qiao Qiao choked. No wonder she only felt that she was gesturing in that painting, but she couldnt remember what scene it was. It turned out that it was her first month in the capital. She had opened a barber shop and didnt have any business, so she shamelessly went out to attract customers. Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes and whispered, So Little Uncle has been paying attention to me since I arrived in the capital. Third Master was worried about you being alone over there, so he i s been paying attention. Jingcheng went forward and gestured for Qiao Qiao to look at every painting here. Miss, youve taken a closer look just now. You should have noticed that the dates of every painting are in the past three years. As long as he misses you, hell draw your portrait in this room until you come back. He locked this cubicle, afraid that youll be frightened when you see these paintings. Qiao Qiao raised her hand to wipe the tears off her cheeks. What else? Jingcheng knew very well that since he had already gone against Third Masters wishes and let Miss see his secret, he might as well go against it to the end. He didnt want Miss to hate Third Master until he died. Other than drawing your portrait to comfort his longing, Third Master will go to the capital to see you twice a month, but you dont know because Third Master has never shown his face in front of you. The only time he showed his face was when he brought you back. Miss, you probably thought that youre very lucky. Everything is going smoothly in the capital, but in fact, Third Master has helped you settle many things. Many of the messes have also been quietly cleaned up by Third Master. Third Master has done a lot for you. You just dont know. You always think youre just lucky. Qiao Qiao shook her head. Im not looking at it anymore. Jingcheng frowned. What? Qiao Qiao looked up at Jingcheng. Pretend I didnt come in. Pretend I didnt know anything. Pretend I didnt lift that flannel just now. You dont have to tell me anymore. With that, she turned and fled the place.. Chapter 618 - Chapter 618: He Knows What She Likes (1) Chapter 618: He Knows What She Likes (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao chose to escape not because she was unwilling to face it, but because she felt so guilty that she couldnt face Shao Jingmos feelings for her. All of those seemed ordinary, but every piece was so heavy that she couldnt afford it. Jingcheng chased after her and stopped her. Miss, wait. Qiao Qiao stopped, but she didnt turn around. Jingcheng looked at Qiao Qiaos back and said, Im sorry that what I said just now caused some trouble for you, Miss, but other than that, I have to say that Third Masters feelings for you are unwavering. Qiao Qiao was silent for a long time. She slowly turned around, but her face was full of sarcasm. What a nice thing to say. Then why didnt he say it to my face? Jingchengs jaw tightened. Qiao Qiaos lips curled into a playful smile. You know that saying these words will cause me trouble, but you still insist on taking up my time. Its so boring to say these meaningless words. With that, the teasing smile on her lips disappeared and turned into a cold expression. In the end, Jingcheng didnt say anything else and turned to go in. Before five oclock, Shao Jingmos personal belongings were all moved out of the Qiao residence by the workers Jingcheng had arranged. Among these personal items, other than a few clothes and the paintings in the bedroom cubicle, he did not take anything else. Qiao Qiao stood alone in the garden and watched the car leave quietly. She didnt look away even when the door slowly closed. Mother Qiao walked over silently and placed the shawl on Qiao Qiaos shoulder. Its almost dinner. Go in. Qiao Qiao didnt say anything. She lifted the shawl off her body and turned to go in. Mother Qiao didnt have time to reach out and catch it. The shawl fell to the ground. Guigui! Mother Qiao bent down and picked up the shawl, looking unhappy. However, Qiao Qiao reacted like a child in the rebellious stage. Without saying anything, she turned around and left. Mother Qiao was a little angry. Im just spoiling you too much. At the dining table. Qiao Qiao ate in silence. The atmosphere was very quiet, except for the crisp sound of chopsticks touching the porcelain bowl. Halfway through the meal, Old Master Qiao finally couldnt help but say, This mushroom chicken fir soup tonight is alright. Father Qiao immediately added, Its very delicious. Old Master Qiao took the opportunity to ask, What do you think, Guigui? Qiao Qiao didnt answer and continued eating. Guigui, you cant continue like this. It was Mother Qiao who spoke. Her expression was not very good. People have to look forward. You cant stay where you are forever. You have to face a brand new life in the future. Why do you have to look like youre on the verge of death? Whats the point? Parents patience was always limited. Besides, Qiao Qiao always looked like she was about to die. She ignored everyone who spoke to her and was completely immersed in her own world. She wouldnt listen to anyone. Taking advantage of the fact that they were at the dining table, Mother Qiao couldnt help but say all the words she had been holding in. It seemed to have some effect. Qiao Qiao put down her chopsticks and looked at Mother Qiao. She asked in an extremely calm tone, If you dont want to see me like this, tell me, who caused me to look like this? I even hate myself. In a moment of anger, Mother Qiao slammed her chopsticks on the dining table. There was a smack! Father Qiao was shocked. Old Master Qiaos expression was solemn. Only Qiao Qiao didnt blink. She was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. Mother Qiao rarely lost her temper at Qiao Qiao, let alone shouted at her. Most of the time, it was easy to negotiate. But today, Mother Qiao really couldnt control her temper. Do you think were the ones who caused the current situation? Qiao Qiao didnt say anything. She just looked at Mother Qiao quietly. How can a heartless person be worthy of you pouring your heart out to him? Hes not worthy at all. Mother Qiaos tone was domineering. After saying that, seeing that her daughters expression did not change, she softened her tone, Fate cant be forced. Since youve come this far, it means that your fate has ended. You should plan your future life well. Father Qiao echoed, Thats right. Look, youve been depressed all day. Only Old Master Qiao did not speak. Mother Qiao thought that after she said this, there was a high chance that she would anger Qiao Qiao even more. With her unpredictable personality, Mother Qiao wouldnt be surprised if she shouted at her in the next second. But to Mother Qiaos surprise, Qiao Qiao nodded obediently and replied gently, Ill adjust my mood as soon as possible. This reaction was completely unexpected. She turned to look at Father Qiao, who also looked confused.. Chapter 619 - Chapter 619: He Knows What She Likes (2) Chapter 619: He Knows What She Likes (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Only Old Master Qiao said, Just do as you please. Qiao Qiao looked at Old Master Qiao. Grandpa, Ill be fine soon. Dont worry about me. Old Master Qiao nodded and picked up some food for Qiao Qiao with the serving chopsticks. Lets eat. The next day, Qiao Qiao went to work as usual. The news of the shareholders meeting had already spread in the company. Everyone in the company knew that Deep Blue Corporation wanted to change the President. In Dou Yings office. Qiao Qiao handed the document in her hand to Dou Ying, then raised her hand to gather her wax- stained shawl. The shareholders meeting is tomorrow. How much internal information do you know? Dou Ying had a complicated expression. Im not sure yet. Suddenly, Dou Ying looked up at Qiao Qiao. Do you know that the company is saying that you will take over President Qiaos position next? Qiao Qiao remained silent, her eyes dark and unreadable. Dou Ying looked at Qiao Qiaos expression and suddenly laughed. Only when I think so did those people in the company not guess that you would take over President Qiaos position. From the day she entered Deep Blue, the first person Qiao Qiao came into contact with was Dou Ying. The two of them were colleagues and good friends. They were so close that they talked about everything. However, no matter how good their relationship was, Qiao Qiao knew one thing: Dou Ying was nurtured by Shao Jingmo. A faint smile appeared on Qiao Qiaos lips. She raised her hand and took a book from the bookcase beside her. She opened it casually and her fingertips stopped on a page. Why does Secretary Dou think that Im the one taking over Deep Blue? Dou Ying stood up and walked around the desk to Qiao Qiao. She picked up the book in her hand. Youre reading this book too early. Qiao Qiaos gaze fell on the cover of the book. An encyclopedia of parenting? Youre not married or have children. Why are you looking at a parenting encyclopedia? Dou Ying teased her. After putting the parenting encyclopedia back on the shelf, she took another book and handed it to Qiao Qiao. This one suits you. Qiao Qiao took the book. Take a step forward. Inspiring women to pursue their goals bravely and achieve a perfect balance between career and family, Dou said. Qiao Qiao said, Im not married. Of course I know. I mentioned it just now. Dou Ying opened two pages for her. When she reached the page of the catalog, Dou Ying said, Its very interesting. I think it suits you. You can read it when youre bored. Qiao Qiao closed the book. Thank you, but I dont want to read it for the time being. Back to the main topic just now. Secretary Dou, you havent answered me yet. Why do you think that Im the one taking over the Deep Blue Corporation? After a summary, Dou Ying said. Qiao Qiao was puzzled. What specifically? Dou Ying smiled. When you first came to Deep Blue Corporation, President Qiao showed you the companys important accounts. Which boss would do such a thing? Qiao Qiao pressed her lips into a straight line. Dou Ying continued to say to Qiao Qiao, You should know that the companys accounts are equivalent to the companys lifeline. No matter how much President Qiao dotes on you, his niece, its not to the extent of giving the lifeline to you directly. But President Qiao just had to do this. Then let me guess, what is President Qiao planning to do? Qiao Qiao didnt say anything. She looked at Dou Ying quietly, waiting for her to finish. Its to nurture you to take his place. Dou Ying raised her hand and patted Qiao Qiaos shoulder, giving her a reassuring and determined look. Actually, you know that Im a loyal subject nurtured by President Qiao. Ill definitely be loyal to President Qiao forever. Similarly Dou Ying looked into Qiao Qiaos eyes and said word by word, 1 1 will also be loyal to you. Without beating around the bush, Dou Ying made her stand clear in front of Qiao Qiao and her attitude. Qiao Qiao put the book back on the shelf. l dont have the ability to take over Deep Blue. Ability requires experience. I remember that when President Qiao first entered Deep Blue, he did not have the current thunderous methods. Time is the best grinding tool, and you will also be the best knife. Dou Yings every word was filled with deep meaning. Qiao Qiao wasnt in the mood to understand those deep meanings. She only said three words, Its boring. Dou Ying choked and was about to say something when Qiao Qiao turned around and went out. In the elevator, Qiao Qiao gathered her shawl around her. The mirror on the inner wall reflected her current appearance, She had exquisite makeup and a beautiful hairstyle. She looked radiant and energetic. This was what Father and Mother Qiao wanted to see the most. When the elevator reached the next floor, Song Yun entered the elevator. The two of them met. Song Yuns gaze lingered on Qiao Qiao for three to five seconds before she said, This wax-dyed shawl really suits you.. Chapter 620 - Chapter 620: He Knows What She Likes (3) Chapter 620: He Knows What She Likes (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao was stunned for a few seconds. Do you like wax dye too? Song Yun shook her head. l dont like it very much myself, but I know you must like it. Qiao Qiao smiled. Chief Song, why do you say that? Song Yun also smiled. l also learned from President Qiao that you like wax dye. The smile on Qiao Qiaos lips faded. Song Yun didnt notice the change in Qiao Qiaos expression and continued, This wax-dyed shawl youre wearing looks very familiar. If I remember correctly, it should be the last time I accompanied President Qiao on a business trip to Long City. After his meeting, he specially went to the street market to pick it for you. At this point, Song Yun seemed to have thought of something interesting, and the smile on her lips deepened. President Qiao is dignified and extremely outstanding-looking. When he stands in that crowd, he can attract too much attention. That day, my assistant and I were a human wall blocking those women. President Qiao was at the side picking the shawl for you. Now that 1 think about it, I cant help but want to laugh. Qiao Qiao looked down at the shawl she was wearing. I thought he bought this when he came back. Its true that he came back early, but the wax-dyed shawl was indeed bought in Long City. Song Yun reached out and gently touched the wax-dyed shawl on Qiao Qiaos body. You like wax dye, so you should be able to tell that this rough workmanship is from the market. If its too exquisite, President Qiao must have gotten someone to custom-made it for you. This reminded Qiao Qiao. But at that time, she had not taken a closer look at the wax-dyed shawl Shao Jingmo had brought back for her. At that time, she was even jealous because she saw him with Song Yun. Qiao Qiao choked on a laugh and said nothing in the end. The elevator reached the first floor. Song Yun and Qiao Qiao came out together. Song Yun asked, Where are you going? Qiao Qiao looked at the cafe over there. Song Yun understood. Thats too much of a coincidence. Im going to order coffee too. Qiao Qiao said, Then lets go together. Song Yun was naturally happy. The two of them chatted about a lot of topics, but most of them were about the shareholders meeting tomorrow. Song Yun knew more, but Song Yun e s current guess was that it was Old Master Qiao. This mountain originally belonged to the tiger. Now that the tiger has returned to the mountain, it can be considered to have set things right. Qiao Qiao said, Set things right? Song Yun nodded. These are President Qiaos words. These were Shao Jingmos exact words. He wanted to put everything back on track. They waited until the next day. Qiao Qiao and Old Master Qiao arrived at Deep Blue Corporation together. The three secretaries and assistants were all busy. All the higher-ups of the company came out to welcome them. It was a huge scene. Qiao Qiao was dressed formally. She pushed the wheelchair under Old Master Qiao and entered the company under countless gazes. Shao Jingmo was also present at todays shareholders meeting. After two days, Qiao Qiao saw him again. He didnt seem to have changed much. His face was as cold as ever and he wasnt easy to approach. In the past, he had looked at her coldly, but at least the gaze he gave was familiar. Now, he had not even given her a look. It was as if they had become complete strangers. At the long oval table sat all the generals and elders of the Deep Blue Corporation. Old Master Qiao sat at the head of the table, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo faced each other, and below them were the others. At this moment, Old Master Qiao said firmly, Today, 1 officially announce to everyone that I will transfer all the shares under my name to my granddaughter, Qiao Qiao. With that, Qiao Qiao slowly clenched her fists in her lap. She looked up at Shao Jingmo opposite her. His expression was cold and he did not speak. Old Master Qiaos gaze landed on Qiao Qiao and he said gently, Then for now, the person who has the most shares in Deep Blue Corporation is my biological granddaughter, Qiao Qiao. I announce that she will become the actual controller of Deep Blue Corporation. She will also take over the future of Deep Blue Corporation. Not a word of objection came from below. Everyones eyes were on Qiao Qiao now, waiting for her next speech. Under everyones gaze, Qiao Qiao slowly stood up and faced them. Her expression was calm, without a trace of timidity. She looked around first before stopping on Shao Jingmo. She slowly said, 1 will definitely not let Grandpa down and everyone down. In the coming days, I will definitely lead Deep Blue Corporation to a better future. A short speech. There was no need to say too much. Just say what needed to be said. Then, Qiao Qiao slowly sat down amidst waves of applause. Her gaze remained on Shao Jingmo. He was finally willing to look at her squarely and say a word to her. Congratulations.. Chapter 621 - Chapter 621: A Life for a Life (1) Chapter 621: A Life for a Life (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The shareholders meeting officially ended. Everyone stood up. After the new President pushed the old chairman out, they followed him out one after another. Only Shao Jingmo sat quietly in his seat and had no intention of getting up to leave. Boss! Dou Ying stepped forward and took the wheelchair pusher from Qiao Qiao. Let me push the old chairman. Qiao Qiao moved half a step to the side, leaving her seat for Dou Ying. This nickname is not bad. Dou Ying looked at Qiao Qiao and smiled implicitly. Qiao Qiao said, Go on ahead. Dou Ying nodded. Just as she was about to push the wheelchair, Old Master Qiao turned around and called out, Guigui. Qiao Qiao took two steps forward and squatted in front of Old Master Qiao. Whats wrong, Grandpa? Old Master Qiao pointed behind him. He didnt say anything, but Qiao Qiao understood what he meant at a glance. She shook her head and said lightly, Im not going. Old Master Qiaos face was filled with love. Instead of regretting it downstairs and rushing over later, why dont you meet him now? Grandpa will wait for you downstairs. Qiao Qiao felt a fishbone in her throat. Grandpa After watching Dou Ying push Old Master Qiao away, Qiao Qiao stood there quietly for a while before turning back to the meeting room. Jingcheng and an assistant stood at the door. Clearly, Shao Jingmo was still inside, Jingcheng didnt stop Qiao Qiao. When Qiao Qiao turned back, he specially opened the door for her. As usual, he gestured at Qiao Qiao. Miss, please come in. Qiao Qiao glanced at Jingcheng. Im sorry. Jingchengs face was tense and expressionless. You shouldnt have said these words to me, Miss.! Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and smiled. Without saying anything else, she walked into the conference room. The windows in the huge conference room were bright and clean. Just a few minutes ago, it was filled with the senior members of the entire company. It was a scene that no small employee would dare to breathe hard when they came in. Now, only Shao Jingmo was left sitting quietly in his original position. Qiao Qiao approached him from behind and called out in a gentle voice, Little Uncle. Shao Jingmo raised his hand and buttoned the front of his abdomen. Just as he was about to stand up, Qiao Qiao immediately placed her hand on his broad shoulder. Ill just say a few words. Shao Jingmo did not move. Qiao Qiao walked around and sat down opposite him. She looked up at him quietly for a moment and said, Thank you, Little Uncle, for putting in so much effort to pave the way for me. In just a few months, you made me the new President of Deep Blue Corporation. Shao Jingmos expression was indifferent. Sitting in this position and sitting firmly in this position are two different concepts. I hope you will always remember it. l will. Qiao Qiao said seriously, l will remember everything you taught me. You can rest assured, Little Uncle. Shao Jingmo picked up the cell phone on the table. Qiao Qiao stopped him again. Little Uncle, can you sit for a few more minutes? Shao Jingmo rubbed the edge of his cell phone. Isnt it just a few words? A hint of loneliness flashed across Qiao Qiaos eyes, so fast that it was difficult to notice. She said unhurriedly, Were once husband and wife after all. After today, I dont know when well meet again. Shao Jingmos tone was very calm. In the future, you and I will each face a new life. Whether we meet again is not that important. Qiao Qiao looked into his eyes. Those dark and deep eyes were unfathomable. No one could ever guess what he was thinking. She sat up slowly, her belly close to the edge of the conference table. Actually, I know Shao Jingmo suddenly interrupted her. l should go. With that, he stood up and raised his hand to button the front of his abdomen. He moved his seat and turned to leave. He was so determined. It was as if he had never loved her. In this relationship, it had always been her wishful thinking. This was probably the outcome he wanted to see the most. However, Qiao Qiao didnt do as he wished. Just as Shao Jingmo turned to leave, she suddenly stood up and said, Shao Jingmo, its fine if you dont love me. Its fine if you want to marry someone else, but its impossible for you to draw a line with me. Shao Jingmo did not stop. Qiao Qiao stared at his cold back as he left and said firmly, Im pregnant. Those short words were like a thousand pounds crashing to the ground. With a bang, the mountain shook. Shao Jingmo suddenly stopped and turned around. He asked her coldly, What did you say? Qiao Qiaos pretty face didnt change. She boldly looked straight at him. Im pregnant.. Do you think we can still completely draw the line between us? Chapter 622 - Chapter 622: A Life for a Life (2) Chapter 622: A Life for a Life (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo did not say anything and turned back. Seeing him return, Qiao Qiao smiled proudly, but soon, she couldnt smile anymore. Shao Jingmo grabbed her wrist. Then go to the doctor for a checkup now. When Qiao Qiao heard that he was going for a checkup now, her face was full of resistance. l just checked it. Theres no need to check it a second time. Shao Jingmo asked her calmly, Wheres the checkup form? Qiao Qiao said, At home. In the past few days, she had hardly seen any emotions on Shao Jingmos face. He always had a cold expression and treated her even more. She felt uncomfortable and wanted to make him uncomfortable, but she couldnt bear to. After thinking about it, this thought suddenly came to her. Even though she knew the consequences of lying, she still wanted to take the risk. And now, Shao Jingmos reaction hovered between trust and disbelief. He looked extremely pale. It was as if he had encountered the most difficult thing. There was no surprise or joy. Qiao Qiao suddenly realized that even if she was really pregnant now, it was not something that could change Shao Jingmos mind. Therefore, when Shao Jingmo wanted to confirm it with her for the third time, Qiao Qiao suddenly smiled and said to him, Im pregnant, but its not yours. Shao Jingmos eyes were deep as he stared at her. Qiao Qiao was not afraid of his gaze. She raised her voice and said, Ive officially taken over Deep Blue Corporation today. Everyone is celebrating, so 1 made a child to celebrate. Shao Jingmos gaze moved down and stopped on her flat abdomen. The way he looked at her abdomen made her uncomfortable. Were just divorced, not enemies. I just want to say a few more words. Youre the one whos been too cold to me. Shao Jingmos expression changed. Youre not allowed to make such jokes again. Qiao Qiao was naturally rebellious, especially when she heard his words. She was very indignant. Were already divorced. Why do you care if Im joking? Shao Jingmo ignored her unconvinced look and pulled out a chair to sit down. Dont you have something to say? Say it. Im in a hurry. Lulu is waiting for me to go back. You two are very close. Qiao Qiao sat down again. Shao Jingmos tone softened. Of course. Qiao Qiao couldnt stand his double standard attitude. He was cold to her. At the mention of Wen Lu, not only did his face soften, but even his tone was so gentle. Little Uncle, you dont have to deliberately make me unhappy. Actually, I dont care as much as you think. Its only been a few months. Do you think I love you so much? Its just for fun. For the first time, she realized that loving and killing each other was an appropriate way to describe her and Shao Jingmo. With that, she gave Shao Jingmo a provocative look. Her gaze conveyed: Not inferior. Shao Jingmo said, Youre right. Its just for fun. Is that what youre forcing me to say? Qiao Qiaos lips curled into a playful smile. Yes, to insult you. Shao Jingmos eyes were calm. Anything else? You can insult me all at once. You wont have such an opportunity in the future. The smile on Qiao Qiaos lips faded. Shao Jingmo Shao Jingmo said, Hm? Qiao Qiao stood up slowly and placed her hands on the table. She leaned forward and looked at him. Can you make another choice? Shao Jingmo asked her, What choice? For example? Qiao Qiao said word by word, Choose me firmly. Shao Jingmo suddenly smiled. Is this a new way for you to insult me? Annoyed, Qiao Qiao sat down again. Yes, its a pity you didnt fall for it. Her expression was filled with loneliness. It was impossible for Shao Jingmo not to see it, but he chose to ignore it. Or, he didnt care. Qiao Qiao quickly composed herself. When she looked up at him again, her eyes were clear. l have nothing to say. Little Uncle, you can go. Shao Jingmo stared at her for a moment before standing up. Take care of yourself. Qiao Qiao nodded. Shao Jingmo turned around and left. Qiao Qiao sat still and watched as he walked further and further away. Just as he was about to disappear, she suddenly said, If it were me, I would choose you firmly. She wondered if Shao Jingmo had heard her. The door was empty. There was no sign of him. At night. Qiao Qiao returned home. She had just taken office today, so she was busy. Ever since she personally sent her grandfather back to the Qiao residence in the morning, she had been busy when she returned to the company. Dou Ying and Song Yun became her left and right assistants and assisted her in everything she had to do after sitting in this position.. Chapter 623 - Chapter 623: A Life for a Life (3) Chapter 623: A Life for a Life (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When she returned home, even though she was very tired, she would still force herself to put on a mask and be a good daughter in front of Father and Mother Qiao. She stepped into the foyer. A clear voice sounded Sister Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao looked up in the direction of the voice. Lin Xingruo was running towards her. Sister Qiao Qiao, congratulations. Lin Xingruo hugged Qiao Qiao and congratulated her sincerely. Qiao Qiao didnt move and let Lin Xingruo hug her for a while before saying, Thank you. Lin Xingruo let go of Qiao Qiao and asked her with a smile, You just took office today. How do you feel? Is it hard being the President? Qiao Qiao replied, Im fine. Look at how tired you are. I dont believe you. Lin Xingruo took Qiao Qiaos arm and they walked in together. Qiao Qiao asked her, When did you arrive? Lin Xingruo said, Uncle came to pick me up around five. Didnt I send you a WeChat message? Qiao Qiao took out her phone. Is that so? I was too busy to look. Lin Xingruo pursed her lips. Then Ill reluctantly forgive you. Qiao Qiao put the phone back into her bag. She turned to look at Lin Xingruo. Her tone was unpleasant, but her face was so clear and energetic. She seemed to see her previous self. Previously, she had been so heartless and carefree. Sensing that Qiao Qiao was looking at her, Lin Xingruo turned around and said, Actually, 1 know youve never liked me very much. This time, you took the initiative to call me to Xingzhou. I think its not just to make me envious that you have the Qiao familys business. You must have something else. Tell me. Anyway, youre successful now. Ill curry favor with you in the future. If theres anything, tell me. Qiao Qiao opened her mouth and was about to say something when Mother Qiao came over. Guigui, Xingruo, its time to eat. Qiao Qiao replied, Coming. Lin Xingruo raised her voice. Coming, Auntie. The atmosphere at the dining table tonight was very good. Lin Xingruo was a little more talkative, and Qiao Qiaos condition was almost visibly improving. Mother Qiao was very gratified, and Father Qiao was also very happy. Only Old Master Qiao looked unhappy. Especially during the meal, Lin Xingruo asked unintentionally, Will Little Uncle come back to stay in the future? Lin Xingruo learned a little about Shao Jingmo moving away from Mother Qiao in the afternoon. She wasnt sure about the details, which was why shed suddenly asked at the dinner table. Old Master Qiao looked at Qiao Qiao. The smile on Qiaos pretty face faded a little. He wont move back, she replied. Lin Xingruo observed everyones expressions and realized that she shouldnt have asked this question. After Qiao Qiao answered her, she knew better than to ask again. After dinner, Qiao Qiao called Lin Xingruo to her room. She locked the door and took Lin Xingruo to the terrace to sit. Holding a plate of fruits in her hand, Lin Xingruo raised her voice and asked Qiao Qiao, What exactly do you want to talk to me about? When Aunt came over just now, you stopped talking. It made my heart itch. Qiao Qiao sat down in the chair beside Lin Xingruo. Actually, its nothing. Lin Xingruo ate a piece of apple and puffed out her cheeks. Impossible, she said incoherently. Qiao Qiao looked at the night sky in the distance and said softly, Xingruo, if, I mean if one day I suddenly disappear and no one can find me, will you take care of Grandpa and my parents in my place? Lin Xingruos puffed-up cheeks slowly stopped. She looked at Qiao Qiao in disbelief. Cousin, what did you say? Qiao Qiao turned her head. Im just saying if. Its not true. Why are you so nervous? Lin Xingruos expression was serious. Stop it. Which normal person would say this for no reason? Qiao Qiao suddenly sneered. Why did you take it seriously? Lin Xingruo put down the fruit platter, her expression still serious. Youd better tell me what happened. The careless smile faded from Qiao Qiaos pretty face. She lowered her eyes and said softly, When I love someone, I choose him unwaveringly. Live or die. Lin Xingruo looked confused. So what are you trying to say? Qiao Qiao took a slice of apple from the fruit platter in front of Lin Xingruo and took a small bite. She said, If Im really gone one day, I hope you can take good care of my parents and Grandpa for me. Youre crazy! Qiao Qiao, how can you say such a thing! Lin Xingruo stood up anxiously. Qiao Qiao looked up. Sit down. Lin Xingruo did not look too good. Youd better explain whats going on first. Qiao Qiao shook her head. l cant explain it clearly. 1 only know what to do next. Also, I hope you keep what I said to you tonight to yourself. Lin Xingruo slowly sat down and asked with rapt attention, Where are you going? Qiao Qiao turned her head. The night wind ruffled her bangs. She raised her hand and tucked it behind her ear. On my birthday, a cruise ship will sail to international waters. Bai Chen said that Shao Jingmo and the Bai family would be on that ship that day. A new bet. A life for a life. Shao Jingmos life for hers.. Chapter 624 - Chapter 624: But I Still Love You (1) Chapter 624: But I Still Love You (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although Lin Xingruos reaction was a little slow, she was not stupid. Combined with what Qiao Qiao had said, she quickly understood Qiao Qiaos next plan. Lin Xingruos eyes widened in disbelief. Do you really have to go this far? Qiao Qiao replied, Yes. But youre being too selfish. Think about it In her agitation, Lin Xingruo reached out and grabbed Qiao Qiaos arm, trying to persuade her. Qiao Qiao frowned slightly in pain and reminded Lin Xingruo, Youre hurting me. Lin Xingruo did not realize that she had suddenly become agitated. She let go, but her expression was not very good. She was a little angry as she repeated, Youre too selfish. Qiao Qiao asked Lin Xingruo instead, Tell me, what is selfish? Lin Xingruos tone was a little extreme. Nothing in this world is more important than your own family. Your decision is too selfish. You didnt consider Uncle and Aunt at all. How can they accept this fact at their age? Qiao Qiaos expression was calm. Doing this does make me look selfish. Lin Xingruo said firmly, It is! But so what? Qiao Qiao asked. Lin Xingruo was instantly speechless. Qiao Qiao gathered her collar and took a deep breath. She looked at the dark night in silence. Lin Xingruos eyes were a little red. She knew that it was useless to say anything. Even if she threatened Qiao Qiao to tell her uncle and aunt everything she knew tonight, it wouldnt change Qiao Qiaos decision. She knew very well that Qiao Qiao had really thought of this last step. In the following time, Qiao Qiao adjusted her schedule and emotional state very well. She would ruthlessly torture everyone in Deep Blue and be a worry-free granddaughter in front of Old Master Qiao. She would be a daughter who fulfilled her filial piety in front of Father and Mother Qiao. She seemed to have grown a lot at once. She was sensible, capable, and filial. Most importantly, she did everything. She was so perfect that no one could find fault with her, but there was no trace of her usual vitality in her eyes. Especially when she was alone. In the corner where no one saw her, those eyes, usually the most vivid, seemed to be dead in the mud of an abyss. But no one knew she was pitiful. People would only think that the undisciplined and arrogant little girl had finally grown into a qualified adult. She had lived the way everyone expected. Qiao Qiao counted the days and endured every day in pain. Finally, it was her birthday. After midnight, several WeChat messages popped up one after another. She opened them one by one. Li Xiwu: [Qiaoer, happy birthday. May you be safe, healthy, and carefree every Li Xiwu: [Transfer 8,888.88] The next message was a blessing and red packet from Mother Qiao. The next message was Father Qiaos blessing and red packet. She accepted the transfers one by one and replied to them one by one. Mother Qiao reminded her to sleep quickly, and Li Xiwu sent her a goodnight emoticon. Qiao Qiao scrolled up and her fingertips stopped on Shao Jingmos WeChat profile picture. There was no movement, no messages at all. Unwilling to give up, she clicked on it. The chat history on the page was still more than ten days ago. Other than that, there were no new WeChat messages. Qiao Qiao sighed. She knew that he wouldnt send her any more messages, but she couldnt help but look forward to it. She had not seen him for more than ten days. She wondered how he was doing. Buzz. A notification came from his cell phone. Qiao Qiaos silent heart raced at this moment. She immediately picked up her phone and opened it. Her face was full of anticipation, but what she saw was not the message she wanted to see. The smile immediately disappeared from her lips, as if it had never existed. Qiao Qiao sighed again. It was not a WeChat message from him. After replying to someone elses blessing, she dropped the phone, hugged the pillow, and rolled over. Then she buried her face in the blanket. Seconds ticked by. She was not sleepy at all. She counted the time in her mind, as if she wanted to use this method to urge herself to fall asleep as soon as possible. After an unknown period of time, just as she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she heard a vibration notification again. Buzz. Qiao Qiao suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear. The sleepiness shed worked so hard to muster instantly dissipated the moment the notification sounded. She propped herself up on her arms and looked for her cell phone. After searching under the blanket for a long time, she suddenly gave up. Actually, she knew in her heart that it was not him, but she would always have a little anticipation. After the anticipation came disappointment. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to continue to be disappointed. She took out her phone and opened the page. The next second, Qiao Qiao suddenly sat up. She held her cell phone, her face filled with disbelief and surprise. This time, it was actually it was really a WeChat message from Shao Jingmo! !! Mo: [Happy birthday, Qiao Guigui.] There were no words to describe Qiao Qiaos feelings now. She bit her lip and closed her eyes. The joy inside her threatened to shoot through the clouds. She quickly read Shao Jingmos WeChat message a few times before finding his number and dialing it. After a few rings, the other party picked up the phone under Qiao Qiaos extremely apprehensive mood. His extremely magnetic voice was very low. Why arent you asleep? Qiao Qiao suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried to say in a tone that sounded very calm, l cant sleep. There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds. Qiao Qiaos heart was in her throat, worried that he would hang up. Ever since he said that he didnt love her, his temper had been bad, and he had no patience with her at all. He was doing it his way. Pushing her away, far, far away. Fortunately, although it was quiet for a long time, he did not hang up. After a silence, he asked her, Have you been suffering from insomnia? Qiao Qiao answered in a small voice, Yes. He asked, Because of what? Qiao Qiao said in a muffled voice, l dont know. He did not ask further. The clock on the wall pointed to nearly 00:24. The room was too dark. Qiao Qiao turned on a bedside lamp and leaned against the bedside table, holding her cell phone tightly, waiting for his next words. When it was too quiet, any subtle sound would be magnified several times. Shao Jingmo heard her turn on the lights. His voice softened a little. Drink some milk before you go to bed. Itll help you sleep. Qiao Qiao didnt respond. He was silent for a few seconds before saying to her, Happy birthday, Qiao Guigui. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and replied, Thank you, Little Uncle. Live well, he said. Qiao Qiaos lowered eyelashes fluttered. Okay. Im hanging up, he said. Hearing the voice fade away, Qiao Qiao knew that he should have taken away his cell phone. She suddenly raised her voice and shouted, Little Uncle! There was silence for a moment. Qiao Qiao took down the cell phone and stared at the screen, waiting for his response minute by minute, afraid that he would hang up quickly again. Yes? He put the phone back to his ear. It didnt sound as impatient as shed expected. Thank God, thank God. She gathered up a thick nasal twang and took advantage of the moment to say to him, l want to ask you another question. Shao Jingmos voice was as gentle as before. Ask away. Qiao Qiao asked him, Will we see each other again? It wasnt a surprise question. It wasnt new. Although shed asked the same question before, hed never answered her directly. But this time, after pondering for a moment, Shao Jingmo gave her a positive answer. We wont meet again. Forget everything from before. Qiao Qiao felt suffocated. I-Ill forget it. Qiao Qiao steadied her voice and said the sentence in its entirety. But I still love you. There was silence on the other end of the line. Qiao Qiao took the initiative to hang up the call. She held the phone that had a black screen. Her eyes were red and she couldnt sleep the entire night. She stayed up until four in the morning. She went to wash her face and hair, changed into a beautiful dress, and put on exquisite makeup. The reefs by the sea were slippery and unsuitable for high heels, so she changed to flats. It was past five oclock after she had carefully dressed up. She did not take her cell phone. With her hands empty, she walked out into the night. Two hours later, Qiao Qiao stood on the fence of the house by the sea and looked out. The wind and waves at six in the morning were even stronger than she had expected. The waves slapped into white foam and floated on the reefs. In the distance, the horizon stretched as far as the eye could see. The boss who came from behind said, Its typhoon weather today. The wind and waves are too strong to go out to sea. Qiao Qiao pointed at the cruise ship in the distance and asked, Isnt that cruise ship going out to sea today? The boss looked in the direction Qiao Qiao was pointing and shook his head. Thats not under my control. The route of the typhoon is all displayed on the satellites map. Going out to sea under such circumstances is playing with your life. Qiao Qiao looked away and asked, What if we go to the international sea? Can we come back? The boss glanced at Qiao Qiao and said indescribably, The chances of coming back are very small.. Chapter 625 - Chapter 625: Untitled (1) Chapter 625: Untitled (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The sky was very dark, and the gray clouds blocked the only ray of sunlight in the morning. Mist enveloped the entire sea, and the horizon disappeared in an instant. As the sea breeze hit them, the air was mixed with the damp smell of salt. It wasnt pungent, but it smelled bad. The coldness hit her like an icicle. Qiao Qiao gathered her shawl around her, and her lips were slightly dark green. Seeing Qiao Qiaos state, the boss beside her reminded her kindly, Go inside. Its too cold here. Qiao Qiao was indeed very cold. She was almost numb from head to toe. She shook her head and let out a shaky breath. Im waiting for someone. The boss glanced at the cruise ship in the distance and asked, The man youre waiting for is going out to sea today? The boss was a fisherman here. He knew very well what kind of environment could be out at sea and what kind of environment could not. In bad weather, it must be dangerous if he had said the chances of returning after going to the open sea were slim. Qiao Qiao saw the bosss worry and forced a faint smile. The friend Im waiting for is a foreigner. Hes from the northwest and has never seen the sea. The boss smiled. Youre risking your life to accompany a gentleman. Then wait a moment. Ill ask my wife to get you a thick shawl. Youre wearing so little. If you stay a little longer, youll definitely be hospitalized tomorrow. Qiao Qiao didnt reject the bosss kindness. She nodded and thanked him first. Thank you. The boss waved his hand and turned to go inside. You paid for it. I should. Qiao Qiao looked at the bosss back as he went in. A bitter smile appeared on her lips. There was a chair beside her. She pulled it over and sat down. She wrapped her shawl around her with both hands and sat there. After a while, the lady boss came out wrapped in a thick down jacket. She even had a jacket in her hand. Without a word, she walked over and spread out the jacket to wrap it around Qiao Qiao. The sea is covered in fog now. Its too cold. Why dont you follow me inside? Qiao Qiao turned around and saw the lady bosss kind face. She raised her voice in the wind and replied, Im waiting for someone. l know. My husband just told me that youre unwilling to go in because youre waiting for someone. Show me the photo. Ill guard it for you. Go in and get warm. The lady boss was being kind. Especially since Qiao Qiao was too thin and looked lonely. Her lips were dark blue after being blown by the sea breeze for too long, making ones heart ache. Qiao Qiao shook her head. No need to trouble you. Ill wait by myself. Thank you for the coat. Im very warm now. Please dont worry. The lady boss knew that it was useless to say anything else. She took Qiao Qiao!s hand and rubbed it for her. When it was a little warmer, she covered her coat. If you cant stand the cold, come in quickly. Qiao Qiao replied, Okay. After the lady boss went in, she said to her man, Set a time and go out to take a look every ten minutes. Shes so thin. Im afraid shell faint from the cold outside. The boss agreed. Alright, Ill set a time first. After the first ten minutes, the lady boss went out to take a look. That young lady sat down properly in her chair. Twenty minutes later, the lady boss went out to take another look with a cup of hot water. She was still sitting in the chair. Thirty minutes Forty minutes An hour passed. The lady boss came out with another glass of hot water. When she got closer, she realized that the wind had eased a lot and most of the fog on the sea had dissipated. Seeing that the fog had dissipated, the lady boss was in a good mood. She handed the hot water to Qiao Qiao and said, Miss Qiao, the fog on the sea has dissipated. The hot water was held in midair. No one took it. The lady boss looked down and realized that her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep. The lady boss thought for a few seconds and felt that something was wrong. She leaned down and shouted, Miss Qiao? Miss Qiao, can you hear me? Miss Qiao? No reaction. The lady bosss expression changed and she quickly shouted inside, Old Cheng, come out quickly. She fainted. The boss ran out when he heard the voice. When he saw Qiao Qiao with her eyes closed and her face pale, he sighed. She refused to come in no matter what. See what happens now. The lady boss stretched out her hand and pushed the boss. Alright, shes already fainted. Dont make wise comments here. Take her to the hospital first. Ill do it. The boss stepped forward. It was definitely impossible to help her up. He could only carry her out first. Just as the boss was about to carry Qiao Qiao, a voice said, Dont touch her.. Chapter 626 - Chapter 626: Untitled (2) Chapter 626: Untitled (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Hearing this, the boss and lady boss looked up at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a man in a black coat standing at the entrance. The boss turned to look at the unconscious Qiao Qiao, then at the person standing at the door and asked, Are you Miss Qiaos friend? The lady boss lowered her voice and said, That attire and that temperament. Its obvious that hes that person Miss Qiao is waiting for. The boss said, 1 think so too. The man walked over for a few seconds, his gaze lingering on the unconscious Qiao Qiao. As he approached, he leaned over and held Qiao Qiaos face. It was very cold, and her lips were dark. Worried that something would happen, he reached out and checked Qiao Qiaos breathing. The boss said angrily, Shes just unconscious. I was about to take her to the hospital when you came. You must be the friend Miss Qiao was waiting for, right? Bai Chen looked up at the boss and replied, Yes. His windbreaker exuded moisture, his hair was slightly disheveled, and his breathing was ragged. He must have been in a hurry on the way here. He was indeed in a hurry. He had sped over. Bai Chen prepared to pick up the unconscious Qiao Qiao. The lady boss was more cautious. Before Bai Chen picked Qiao Qiao up, she asked, Do you know her full name? Bai Chen said, Qiao Qiao. The lady boss was relieved. Then take her to the hospital quickly. Bai Chen said, Sorry to trouble you. Its no trouble. Miss Qiao gave me money, the boss said quickly. Bai Chen nodded and left with Qiao Qiao in her arms. When he came down from the seaside pavilion, the damp and salty sea breeze blew against his face. Bai Chen looked down at the person in his arms. She was not in her down jacket properly, and the wind blew in. He quickened his pace and carried Qiao Qiao back to the car as soon as possible. But he was a step too slow. He hadnt been far from the attic when the person in his arms moved her eyelids and her raven-black eyelashes fluttered. Bai Chen slowed down and looked down at the person in his arms. Youre awake. Qiao Qiaos eyes were filled with confusion. She looked around and finally looked at Bai Chen. When she opened her mouth to speak, she felt as if her throat had been pierced by a knife. It was a long time before she said weakly, Why are you here? Bai Chen said, Because 1 knew you would come today, 1 specially came to look for you. Qiao Qiao said weakly, Bai Chen, put me down first. Bai Chen did not follow her instructions and reminded her, Youre very weak now. Ill send you to the doctor first. With that. he Quickened his Dace. Qiao Qiao coughed a few times, looking very uncomfortable. Put me down first. Bai Chen said, Lets talk in the car. Youre cold all over now. Its like hugging ice. Go back to the car and turn on the air conditioner for you to relax. Im not going back to the car. Put me down first. No way. l said, put me down. Qiao Qiaos tone deepened a little. Bai Chen lowered his head and met her stubborn eyes. Although he was angry, he could not keep his word because he was not someone important to her and could not control her. The road was flat and far from the sea. The fishy wetness had faded a lot. Bai Chen didnt put Qiao Qiao down. He carried her back to the car and stuffed her into it. Only then did he feel more at ease. When Bai Chen leaned in to give Qiao Qiao her seatbelt, Qiao Qiao said, Ill hate you. Ill hate you forever. Bai Chens hand froze. Qiao Qiao turned to look at him. l mean what I say. In the end, Bai Chen compromised and let Qiao Qiao out of the car. However, when she got out of the car, Qiao Qiao deliberately left her phone in the car. Bai Chen saw it and was about to remind her when Qiao Qiao quickened her pace and walked back. Qiao Qiao had regained some clarity now, but her feet were a little wobbly. With Bai Chens help, she barely stood firm. Without a word, she turned and walked toward the beach. Bai Chen did not stop her or pull her. He silently followed beside her. Are you planning to wait for him to return? Qiao Qiao walked extremely slowly. 1 want to stop him from getting on the cruise ship. Bai Chen said, You cant stop him. Since he has decided to use his life to exchange for your safety in the future, he will definitely board the ship. Qiao Qiao didnt say anything and walked forward stubbornly, even though she was staggering and looked like she would fall at any moment. Bai Chen couldnt stand it anymore. He grabbed Qiao Qiaos arm and stopped her from moving forward. Maybe hell come back, but before he does, can you take care of yourself first? Qiao Qiao was like a drifting flower, scattered by the wind, all over the ground. Qiao Qiao stubbornly pried Bai Chens hand away. Dont worry about me. I wont listen to a single word.. Chapter 627 - Chapter 627: Untitled (3) Chapter 627: Untitled (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Bai Chen: This time, Qiao Qiao didnt go to the attic. She stood by the sea. Her body was too weak to support her for too long, so she squatted down. This way, she could also resist the sea breeze. The fog really did lift. The color of the sea looked deep. As the clouds floated low, it seemed to cover the surface of the sea, lifeless. She looked into the distance. The cruise ship had yet to go out to sea. In other words, Shao Jingmo had yet to arrive. Then wasnt the position she was squatting in too conspicuous? No, it was better to be conspicuous. She was afraid that Shao Jingmo wouldnt see her. It was better for him to see her. As she was thinking, Qiao Qiaos expression suddenly froze. She slowly stood up. Because her body was weak, she couldnt support herself and almost fell. Bai Chen quickly held her. Be careful. Qiao Qiao stood up with Bai Chens help. She looked at the two cars parked under the cruise ship in the distance. Someone had gotten out of the car. Qiao Qiao recognized the person at a glance. It was Jingcheng. He, he he Qiao Qiao wanted to go over. Bai Chen grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. He raised his coat to cover her. As she quietly struggled, Bai Chen said, Someone from the Bai family. Qiao Qiao froze, then went still. Bai Chen glanced into the distance. My stepfather, Bai Qingfeng. Qiao Qiao asked, Did he get out of the car? Bai Chen said, He got out of the car. The next second, Qiao Qiao pushed Bai Chen away with all her might and turned around to look in that direction. At that moment, Shao Jingmo was boarding the cruise ship. Jingcheng did not board it. He stood there and watched. Qiao Qiaos eyes widened. She wanted to call Shao Jingmos name, but just as she opened her mouth, Bai Chen covered it with her hand. Dont call him. Qiao Qiao couldnt shout. She could only whimper. As she struggled, she found an opportunity to bite Bai Chens hand. The pain made Bai Chen frown, but he did not let go. calming her anxiety. After all hes done for vou. cant you work harder? Qiao Qiaos eyes were red, and her shoulders were trembling violently. Her tears fell silently on the back of Bai Chens hand, one drop after another. Finally, the moment Qiao Qiao let go, Bai Chen felt that the pain was even stronger than before. He hissed. He raised his hand and saw that the bite mark was so deep that the flesh was almost visible. The cruise boat set sail, heading out to sea, getting farther and farther away. Qiao Qiao kept looking in that direction and murmured, We didnt see each other one last time. We didnt see each other one last time We didnt see each other one last time Bai Chen endured the pain in her hand and said to Qiao Qiao, You have to try to look on the bright side. Maybe its not goodbye forever. Qiao Qiao ignored Bai Chens words. Ill never see him again. I really wont see him again Really, they would never see each other again. This farewell was forever. Qiao Qiao burst into tears. Bai Chen was shocked and didnt know how to comfort her. But he actually knew in his heart that it was useless even if he coaxed her. Her heart was broken, and it would hurt to mend it. Qiao Qiao, Bai Chen wrapped her clothes around her to prevent too much wind from entering. The reason why I told you about this last bet is because you have the right to know, you shouldnt be in the dark. But Im telling you not because I want to see you in such pain. Dont torture yourself. Qiao Qiao said nothing. She wiped the tears from her blurred vision and fixed her gaze on the cruise ship sailing on the distant sea, getting farther and farther away and smaller until it was out of sight. Qiao Qiao said, Bai Chen, leave. Bai Chen looked at her. You have to come with me. Otherwise, Ill wait here with you. Qiao Qiao shook her head. Waiting for him is my business alone. It has nothing to do with you, so go. Ill wait for him and go home with him. The last sentence, Go home with him, sounded soft, like a relief. Bai Chen did not say anything and stood quietly beside her to guard her. Time passed just like that. At noon, in the afternoon, nearing the evening, Qiao Qiao had only drank water during this long time and had never eaten a grain of rice. No matter how Bai Chen persuaded her, she did not eat it. Bai Chen was so anxious that he almost forced her to eat. But in the end, he could not bear to see her cry again. It was good to be quiet like this. He could just wait with her until the answer she wanted. It was getting late, and the temperature was getting lower. Soon, the temperature dropped to only five or six degrees. Qiao Qiaos face was blue from the cold, and Bai Chen, who was beside her, was no better, but he still held on. Qiao, Qiao Bai Chens voice sounded ethereal. Qiao Qiao moved her stiff body and turned to ask Bai Chen, Why arent you leaving? Bai Chen said, Im worried about you. Qiao Qiao exhaled weakly. Tell me the truth. Have we met before? Bai Chen closed his eyes and did not answer. Qiao Qiao reached out her hand. Are you okay? Bai Chen nodded. Qiao Qiao said inexplicably, Its so late. Bai Chen opened her eyes again. You know its late. I told you to go back a long time ago. l want to call him, whether he answers or not. Ill go back after Im done, Qiao Qiao said calmly. She lowered her head and looked for her cell phone in her pocket. Before she could find it, Bai Chen took out her phone and handed it to her. You left your phone in my car. Use mine. Qiao Qiao shook her head. l need to use my cell phone. Help me get it. Bai Chen did not move and looked at her quietly. Qiao Qiao said, Then Ill go back and get it myself. Even if I get it, Ill have to call him here. She was very stubborn. Bai Chen could not do anything to her and resigned herself to her fate. Okay, Ill get your cell phone. Wait for me here. It was already dark. Bai Chen was worried and reminded her several times before leaving. Qiao Qiao watched Bai Chens figure fade away.. Chapter 628 - Chapter 628: Countless Bottom Lines For Her (1) Chapter 628: Countless Bottom Lines For Her (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Bai Chen left, he was worried about leaving Qiao Qiao alone. The voice in his heart reminded him firmly: You cant leave!! When Qiao Qiaos cold face appeared in his mind, he chose to compromise in the end. But when he rushed back with his phone, the beach was empty. Qiao Qiao! Bai Chens face was Dale as he stumbled towards the shore. anxiouslv looking for Qiao Qiao. However, there was no trace of her. Qiao Qiao, Qiao At this moment, Bai Chen saw a lump floating on the sea. On a closer look, he quickly recognized that it was the black down jacket Qiao Qiao had worn today. Bai Chen threw his phone aside and quickly took off his jacket. Without any hesitation, he jumped into the sea. The sky was too dark, and the sea was bone-chilling. After going deep into the sea, he could not see anything. Bai Chen was numb from the cold, and his arms could barely exert any strength. His body was as heavy as lead as he kept sinking. The conviction that he hadnt found her yet sustained him. He kept surfacing to catch his breath. After his last breath of air, he stayed in the sea for a long time. The seawater from all directions poured into his ears, nose and throat. Bai Chen swam forward with all his might. After a long time, he surfaced again. The cruise ship docked by the sea lit up with searchlights. The light and shadow of the sea shimmered and floated. Not long after, Bai Chen swam ashore. No one knew how long hed been in the sea. No one knew how strong his willpower was to keep him awake and not be swept away by the waves. At this moment, he was already drenched. The moment he reached the shore, all his strength was sucked away. His staggering steps were on the verge of collapse. The moment he fell, he did not forget to protect the person in his arms tightly. This person he had saved with almost half his life. Bai Chen was already trembling from the cold, but he couldnt care less about himself at this moment. He carefully placed the unconscious Qiao Qiao on the embankment and crawled over to get his cell phone and jacket. He covered Qiao Qiaos cold body with his jacket first. Then, he pressed the emergency number. His arms were trembling non-stop. He stopped himself, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was already trembling so much that it was in pieces. He could only try his best to speak clearly. Punggol Bay, fell into the sea and fainted. Urgent This short sentence took almost all of Bai Chens strength. He gripped his cell phone tightly and turned to look at the unconscious Qiao Qiao. A relieved smile appeared on his lips. Fortunately, I finally finally saved you After saying this last sentence, Bai Chen could no longer hold on. His head drooped and he fainted. When the ambulance arrived, Qiao Qiao was lying there quietly. Her vital signs were very weak. Bai Chen was still unconscious, but his vital signs were fine. The first thing the doctor did was to save Qiao Qiao, while Bai Chen was carried into another ambulance. In the hospital. Father and Mother Qiao, as well as Old Master Qiao, had already arrived and were waiting outside the emergency room. Three hours later, it was after midnight. Qiao Qiao!s vital signs finally stabilized. After the doctor came out to inform the family of the situation, Mother Qiao, who had been worried for a few hours, finally felt at ease. Because she was too nervous just now, she almost lost her balance after her body and mind relaxed. Father Qiao held Mother Qiao steady and comforted her. Shes fine now. l know shes fine. Mother Qiao was terrified. Her tears couldnt stop falling. Why did she go to the sea? Why did she fall into the sea? All of this means that she clearly already knows everything. Shes been looking normal every day recently. It turns out that shes been trying her best to hide herself. Old Master Qiao, who was sitting in the wheelchair, had a weathered expression. His turbid eyes were filled with tears as he said in a trembling voice, When is my granddaughter coming out? The doctor said, She has to undergo observation for the night first. If theres nothing wrong tomorrow morning, she can be transferred to a normal ward. Mother Qiao grabbed the doctors arm and asked anxiously, Isnt her life out of danger? The doctors expression was solemn. Although the patients life is out of danger at the moment, the patients own survival awareness is not strong, so we still need to observe. After the doctor left, Old Master Qiao sighed wistfully and closed his eyes. Are you all satisfied with the current situation? Dad, you cant say that, Father Qiao said. This is the last thing any of us want.. Chapter 629 - Chapter 629: Countless Bottom Lines For Her (2) Chapter 629: Countless Bottom Lines For Her (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mother Qiaos face was filled with sorrow. l should have realized that something was wrong with her recently. She has been mischievous and unruly since she was young. Its all my fault for being careless and not discovering it earlier Qiao Qiao, who was still unconscious, couldnt hear anything from the outside world. She fell into a long, deep dream. Shao Jingmo was in this dream. However, it was the fourteen-year-old Shao Jingmo. When Shao Jingmo first arrived at the Qiao residence that year, he was unfamiliar with the new environment and was not used to it. He had the thought of leaving. But he knew that he no longer had parents. None of the relatives wanted to adopt him. He could only be kicked around by them like a rubber ball. That night he sat at the door of his house. He had not eaten all day and was so hungry that he could barely raise his spirits. Qiao Huasheng appeared in front of him and said that he wanted to adopt him. Then he entered the Qiao family and changed his surname. The dream suddenly changed. Shao Jingmo went to middle school. His results were good and he was liked by the teachers, but he was often bullied by his classmates. Once, when a classmate asked Shao Jingmo for protection money, Qiao Qiao, who had seen this scene in the car, got out of the car without hesitation and rushed up in front of Shao Jingmo. She was young and looked small in front of Shao Jingmo. It was obvious that she was easy to bully. But those people did not dare to bully her, because she had two burly bodyguards accompanying her. The students who were asking for protection money did not give up, but because they were afraid of the two bodyguards beside Qiao Qiao, they only dared to warn Shao Jingmo, Youd better hide behind this little guy every day. Qiao Qiao pointed at the person who had spoken and said fiercely, Even if Im not here, youre not allowed to bully him. Only I can bully him. Hes our servant! Those people suddenly laughed out loud. Someone said mockingly, So youre a servant! No wonder he doesnt have any money. Hes a guard dog. Hahaha, so what if his grades are good? Hes still a guard dog. After those people spoke one after another, they laughed and turned to leave. Qiao Qiao turned to look at Shao Jingmo behind her. Seeing his cold face, she said, You can only be bullied by me, do you hear me? Shao Jingmo ignored her and turned to leave. Qiao Qiao said, Take the car back. Shao Jingmo said, You can go back first. Qiao Qiao asked curiously, Are you angry because I said you were our servant? Shao Jingmo had already walked a distance away. Qiao Qiao did not give up. She aimed at Shao Jingmos height and ran over. She exerted strength on her toes and used his shoulders to pull her onto his back like a monkey. Carry me, carry me. She lay solidly on his back, very excited. Shao Jingmo did not move. He stood on the spot and calmly said, Come down. Qiao Qiao wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. l wont. His calm tone repeated, Get down. No, no, no. Qiao Qiao grabbed him tightly and even moved closer to his neck. Youre too easy to bully. You dont talk back or fight back You only know how to stand there stupidly and be bullied. Do you know that anyone can bully you like this? He seemed to relent. He didnt force her down again. Because he knew she wouldnt listen and come down. But he didnt reach out to support her. He let her scrabble against his back like this. As he walked slowly, he whispered, 1 1 cant get your grandfather into trouble. Qiao Qiaos arms ached and she couldnt hold on anymore. Carry me for a while. Im going to fall. Shao Jingmo did not seem to hear her. His hands stayed at his side. Qiao Qiaos body continued to slide down. With a bitter expression, she said, What are you afraid of? Ill protect you. If youre bullied, fight back. If you cant win, bite the other party until theyre convinced. If Im not around, come back and tell me. Ill hit them back for you. Shao Jingmo still did not speak. Qiao Qiao was about to fall. Just as she accepted her fate and was about to let go, Shao Jingmo suddenly raised his hand and supported her. She returned to his back. Qiao Qiao was overjoyed. Thats right. Shao Jingmo carried her on his back and walked slowly step by step. Two bodyguards followed behind, and no one dared to approach. He walked a long way before saying, l wont carry you next time. Qiao Qiao didnt take his words seriously. What he said about next time had always only worked on others. Only towards her that his bottom line was countless next-times. The dream ended when Shao Jingmo carried her home. When Qiao Qiao woke up, it was already past ten the next morning. Before she opened her eyes, she heard Father and Mother Qiaos voices. They were very faint, so she couldnt hear them very clearly. Guiguis awake, Mother Qiao was the first to notice. Father Qiao quickly surrounded her. Guigui? Qiao Qiao opened her eyes and saw Father and Mother Qiao surrounding the bed. She closed her eyes as if she was escaping, unwilling to face them. Guigui. Mother Qiao tidied Qiao Qiaos hair and asked gently, Are you hungry? Mom cooked something delicious for you. Father Qiao asked, Are you feeling unwell? Guigui No matter how much Father and Mother Qiao said, Qiao Qiao remained silent and didnt give any response. She looked like she had fallen asleep again. After that, at the doctors suggestion, Father and Mother Qiao went out of the ward. When there was no one else in the patients room, Qiao Qiao finally opened her eyes. She slowly raised her hand and saw the IV needle on the back of it. She blinked to clear her vision and murmured huskily, Im alive. Then, she said, Why am I still alive? She was alone for the entire morning until Mother Qiao brought in lunch at noon and saw Qiao Qiao sitting on the bed in a daze. You havent eaten for a day and a night. Your body needs nutrition. Mother Qiao walked in with the thermos box. Ive made your favorite dishes. Although theyre all light, youll definitely like them. Mom, Qiao Qiao suddenly called. Huh? Im here. Mother Qiao was slightly excited. Qiao Qiao turned around and said to Mother Qiao, 1 want to leave this place. Mother Qiao immediately put down the thermos and walked over. Without hesitation, she said, Alright, Ill listen to you. Well live somewhere else. Qiao Qiao shook her head. Not us. Me. Mother Qiao was stunned, but she quickly came back to her senses. Silly child, dont say that you want to live far away alone again. That wont do. Why not? Qiao Qiaos lips were bloodless. l just want to go somewhere without you. When Mother Qiao heard this, she looked angry. Guigui, you However, before she could say anything angrily, she was interrupted by Qiao Qiaos extremely calm voice. You want him to die Youve decided to kill him from the beginning. Youre too selfish, too selfish Qiao Qiao! Mother Qiao said angrily. This was his choice. We didnt force him. After being angry, Mother Qiao quickly regained her composure. Alright. lets not talk about him. You can just say these dignified words for you to hear. Qiao Qiao looked up and said calmly, 1 wont hate you because youre my parents, but Ill never accept what youve done for me. Never.. Chapter 630 - Chapter 630: News about Shao Jingmo (1) Chapter 630: News about Shao Jingmo (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mother Qiao was furious for a moment. Her face turned cold as she said, Leave? Dont even think about it! Qiao Qiao looked at Mother Qiao calmly. Im just informing you, not discussing it with you. Im also informing you that I wont agree to you leaving alone. Mother Qiaos cold tone was irrefutable as she said, Now, the entire Deep Blue Corporation is counting on you to inherit and prosper. If you leave, who will the Deep Blue Corporation be handed over to? Just because of your dispensable relationship, you want to ignore everything your father and I have done for you. Youre unfilial! Qiao Qiaos tone became mocking. Are you restraining me with morality? Mother Qiao dug her nails into her palms. Yes! Qiao Qiao said nothing more. She lay down with her back facing Mother Qiao. The entire ward was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Mother Qiao stood by the bed and looked at her daughters uncompromising back. For a moment, she was speechless. This was because Mother Qiao subconsciously knew that at this moment, it was useless to say anything. Instead, it would cause things to go the other way. The only thing to do now was wait. All of this had just happened. It was normal for Qiao Qiao to be unable to let go and angry. After a long time, the wounds in her heart would heal and the past would fade. Everything would naturally return to square one. At the thought of this, Mother Qiao felt a little better and her expression improved. Guigui, why dont you get up and eat first? Mother Qiao changed her domineering attitude from before and bent down to persuade her gently. l promise you that I wont interfere with any of your thoughts. The most important thing now is to take care of your body. I know. Go out first, Qiao Qiao said with her eyes closed. Mother Qiao didnt force Qiao Qiao to get up and eat now. Alright, Mom will go out first. If you need anything, call call the nurse. Qiao Qiao said, Mm. Mother Qiao tucked Qiao Qiao in considerately and left the ward silently. The moment the door closed, Qiao Qiao slowly opened her eyes. She wasnt sleepy. She closed her eyes and didnt speak because she didnt want to face Mother Qiaos dominance and meanness. As a daughter, she had no right to criticize her biological mother. Moreover, all of this had started because of her. From a mothers perspective, a mother would naturally choose to protect her daughter at all costs. She was angry, she loathed, she hated, but she knew she couldnt face her biological mother with these emotions, so she chose not to face Mother Qiao. She could only respond and protest with silence. A few minutes later, Qiao Qiao lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She took the thermos box that Mother Qiao had placed on the table and dragged her tired body to the nurses station to ask about Bai Chens ward. It took a few more minutes. Qiao Qiao finally arrived outside Bai Chens ward. She was about to knock on the door when she heard a conversation coming from inside. Have you searched the entire sea? Ive searched. Not that I want to say, but why are you so concerned about that Shao guy? Do you think he can survive falling into the sea on the high seas? Heh, whats the difference between this bet and the bet with Grandpa Qiao back then? Grandpa Qiao lost his granddaughter back then, and the stepson he found won her back for him. It seems fair, but only the Bai family knows how unfair this bet is!! Only the Bai family knows how much the Bai family did in the bet. Grandpa Qiao was tricked by the Bai family back then. Now, theyre using the same trick to deal with Shao Jingmo. The Bai family is stupid. They underestimated Shao Jingmo. How could he not be prepared? Alright, shut up! Im just stating the truth. Shao Jingmo won the bet this time. He should have gotten off the ship safely, but the Bai family didnt keep their word and wanted to threaten him. Little did they know that all the evidence against the Bai family is in Shao Jingmos hands. On the one hand, the Bai family is afraid, but on the other hand, they want Shao Jingmos life. In the end, they finally reached an agreement. As long as Shao Jingmo dies, the Bai family will let the Qiao family off completely. If the Bai family doesnt do it in the end, all the murders that the Bai family has been involved in all these years will be announced by the people Shao Jingmo arranged in advance. Shut up. I told you to shut up. It wont do you any good to know so much. Then Im really sorry. I know all about it. Young brat, watch your mouth. Do you still think youre not annoying enough in front of your father? Look at what youve been doing recently. Also, dont interfere in the Bai familys matters.. Chapter 631 - Chapter 631: News from Shao Jingmo (2) Chapter 631: News from Shao Jingmo (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Mom, Ill say it again. Im not his son, and hes never really treated me as his son. I was born Mu Chen. Ill still be Mu Chen in the future. Mrs. Bai suddenly quietened down. Bai Chen did not speak for a long time. After about half a minute of silence, Bai Chen asked, What are the chances of survival after falling into the sea? Mrs. Bai asked in a puzzled tone, Why are you so concerned about Shaos life and death? Suddenly, Mrs. Bai seemed to have thought of something and her puzzled tone became very surprised. Youre already 25 years old and havent properly fallen in love. Dont tell me youre gay? Bai Chen: Mrs. Bai sounded even more surprised. Youve taken a fancy to that Shao? Bai Chen: The atmosphere was quiet for a few more seconds. When Mrs. Bai spoke, her tone became a little clipped. Its your freedom to like men, but if you really fancy that Shao, unfortunately, he probably wont be alive. Bai Chen frowned. How so? Mother Bai l s tone was solemn. l heard some of Qingfengs conversation with his subordinate last night. Its said that after Shao Jingmo fell into the sea, the cruise ship stopped on the surface of the sea and only docked when the typhoon subsided. For more than ten hours, there were members of the Bai family guarding the international sea. No other cruise ship passed within a certain distance. Thats the international sea. Shao Jingmo has no chance of survival. Bai Chens cold tone said, The Bai family is really unprecedented in terms of ruthlessness. Thats enough. Even if you really like him, you can only keep it in your heart. Im afraid hes already buried in the stomach of a fish. Mrs. Bai stood up and sighed. Rest well. Ill go back first. Your father should come to see you later. If youre unwilling to tell me the reason why you fell into the sea, think about how to explain it to him first. Bai Chen did not speak, his face cold. Mrs. Bai did not say anything else and turned to leave. When she reached the door of the ward, she was suddenly stopped by Bai Chen and asked, Is the Qiao family really safe? Mrs. Bai turned around. 1 cant guarantee anything, but out of fear, the Bai family wont touch anyone in the Qiao family for at least ten years. After all, the Qiao familys lifeline was saved by Shao Jingmo. Bai Chen sneered and lowered his eyes to mutter to himself, A life for a life. How can I compare to him? Mrs. Bai took half a step back. What did you say? I said, you can go. Bai Chen lay down and pulled the blanket up to cover his head. Mrs. Bai was displeased. The white blanket in the hospital is only used when someone dies. Bai Chen said, Its about the same. Mrs. Bai did not do anything but say, Young brat, Ill count to three. As soon as she finished counting one, Bai Chen pulled the blanket off his face. You just have to let me take action. Mrs. Bai t s anger dissipated and she opened the door to leave. Bai Chen glanced at the door, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed to go to the toilet. Before he could shuffle on his slippers, the ward door opened again. Bai Chen was very unhappy. Mom, is there anything you cant His voice trailed off. Because Bai Chen saw that the person who opened the door was not Mrs. Bai, but Qiao Qiao. Bai Chens tone was clearly filled with surprise. Ever since he woke up last night, he had been asking the nurse from time to time if Qiao Qiao had woken up. He heard that she woke up, even the precise time that she woke up. However, he did not manage to visit her, afraid that he would bring her to the Bai family. He had been thinking about her. He would never have expected her to come to him when she woke up. At this moment, Bai Chen looked a little confused. Until Qiao Qiao walked up to him step by step with a thermos box and called out, Bai Chen. Bai Chen slowly stood up straight. Because Qiao Qiao had come so suddenly, he was at a loss for a moment. Why are you here? Look at how pale you are. You should lie down and rest well. I was going to visit you when I was discharged. Qiao Qiao turned around and placed the thermos box on the cabinet by the bed. She asked casually, You knew I was awake? Bai Chen came over. l asked the nurse. I didnt come to see you immediately because I was afraid of accidentally bringing the rest of the Bai family here. By the way, what did you bring? Its food. My mother made it. Qiao Qiao opened the lid of the thermos box and turned to him. l dont have much of an appetite yet. I cant eat. I knew you were still in the hospital, so I brought it to you. I havent eaten it before. Its very clean. And thank you for saving me this time.. Chapter 632 - Chapter 632: News from Shao Jingmo (3) Chapter 632: News from Shao Jingmo (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Bai Chen raised her hand and pressed the back of her neck. Youre willing to thank me and say the word save, which means Qiao Qiao said, l dont want you to save me, but you risked your life. Logically speaking, I should thank you. Alright, I wont say anymore. Bai Chen also realized that he shouldnt have said that. He took the lid of the thermos from her and set it aside to clear the table. Then he quickly took out the three dishes and soup. It was a fresh and nutritious meal. It was obvious that she had put in a lot of effort. Bai Chen held his chopsticks and didnt know where to start. He asked Qiao Qiao, Im gonna eat it, then? Qiao Qiao nodded. Yes. Bai Chen began to eat while Qiao Qiao watched quietly from the side. He took a bite and praised her hard. Qiao Qiao didnt say anything. Bai Chen praised her as she ate. Qiao Qiao still didnt say a word. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Seeing that he had already eaten more than half, Qiao Qiao still sat silently at the side. Bai Chen finally couldnt help but ask, When you came in just now, did you meet the woman who left my ward? Unsurprisingly, Qiao Qiao spoke. She nodded before saying, l met her. I know. Thats your mother. Bai Chen put down his chopsticks. So you heard it too? Qiao Qiaos lips curved into a very forced smile. Didnt you tell me long ago? I know. You do know, but its only limited to knowing that Shao Jingmo did this for you. A life for a life. But you wont feel good when you hear his ending with your own ears. Bai Chen did not want to talk about this topic at all. As he had just said, Qiao Qiao might never be able to let go of this matter for the rest of her life if she heard Shao Jingmos ending with her own ears. It was also possible that she would not walk out of this for life. When Bai Chen thought of this, his stomach turned sour. He could not swallow the delicious food in front of him. Qiao Qiao asked, Bai Chen, the high seas are endless. There are no ships within a few kilometers. The only cruise ship is going to kill him. Was he very desperate? Bai Chen said nothing. Qiao Qiao didnt care if Bai Chen answered her or not. She continued, 1 1 tried the feeling of falling into the sea, but I quickly fainted and didnt experience death when I was awake. Bai Chen moved his lips. Qiao Qiao, he Bai Chen, say, is it possible that he would survive? Qiao Qiao suddenly asked innocently. Bai Chen was speechless. Qiao Qiao didnt get a reply from Bai Chen. Her mood gradually became lonely and sad. Bai Chen looked at Qiao Qiaos lifeless face and said softly, Every step he has calculated is related to you. He has paved the way for your future, the future peace of the Qiao family, and your position in the Deep Blue Corporation. Qiao Qiao said, Bai Chen, rest well first. If you cant finish these, throw them away. You dont have to return the lunch box to me. After saying this, Qiao Qiao turned around and left Bai Chens ward. Qiao Qiao! She had already walked to the door and opened it. Bai Chen said, Youre a rose he raised himself. You should bloom gorgeously, not fester in the soil. Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes, troubled. Mm. Also, Bai Chen took the opportunity to mention, you asked if weve met somewhere before. Yes, we have. At Xingzhou University. Qiao Qiao slowly turned around, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and forced a smile at Bai Chen. Actually, Ive already remembered. It was on the basketball court of Xingzhou University that you lost a match. Your opponent asked you to stop a girl at random to confess. Bai Chen sneered. l stopped you. Qiao Qiao said, l slapped you. Bai Chen lowered his eyes. Ive remembered it just like that. Qiao Qiao looked sincere. Im sorry. Bai Chen looked up at her and his smile changed from loneliness to brilliance. Ill accept this apology. Qiao Qiao smiled and turned to open Bai Chens ward. Two days later, Qiao Qiao left the hospital. Ever since she was saved from falling into the sea, she did not seem to have any thoughts of committing suicide. Perhaps Bai Chens words that day had reminded her. Even though she had stopped thinking about that, she did not live a good life. She didnt go to the office. She didnt care about anything. She only went to the bar every day and got herself drunk every time. It was as if she was making things difficult for herself, torturing herself in all kinds of ways. She looked more like a walking corpse. Her soul had already sunk into the depths of the sea when she fell that day. Father and Mother Qiao couldnt do anything other than feel heartache every day, because any persuasion was useless to Qiao Qiao. Half a month passed like this. That night, Qiao Qiao was very drunk at the bar and even got into an argument with someone. They almost got into a fight. When Bai Chen came to help her out, Qiao Qiao fell asleep. The bag on which her head rested buzzed. She wondered who was calling. Qiao Qiao didnt take it. After Bai Chen settled the dispute for her and apologized to the other party, he was about to help Qiao Qiao up when he heard her cell phone vibrate. Bai Chen gently held her head and took out the phone in her bag. She saw that it was a call from Country T. There was no name or caller ID. Bai Chen wanted to hang up and send the drunk Qiao Qiao home first. But he was afraid that it was an important call for Qiao Qiao, so he picked it up for her. He pressed the phone to his ear. Hello. The womans puzzled voice came from the other end. Hello, you are?! Me? Bai Chen was very careful not to reveal his identity. Instead, he asked the other party, Whats the matter? The woman on the other end of the line immediately said, Its like this. Hes a Chinese man sent by a local fisherman. He fell into the sea and was in a coma for half a month. He just woke up yesterday, but he lost his memory and is unwilling to say a word. Were confirming his identity. Just now, he repeatedly recited a string of numbers. We contacted the owner of this phone number immediately.. Sir, is it convenient for you to come to Country T to confirm his identity? Chapter 633 - Chapter 633: I Thought I’d Never See You Again (1) Chapter 633: I Thought Id Never See You Again (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Bai Chen was stunned. For a moment, he thought he had heard wrongly. Taken to hospital by fishermen, fell into the sea and fainted for half a month. When he woke up, he lost his memory. He didnt answer anything, but he remembered this phone number? Was it him? Hello, sir, are you still listening? the person on the other end of the line asked again. Bai Chen looked at Qiao Qiao, who was sleeping soundly because she was drunk. Then, he took down his cell phone and looked at the screen. The call was still on, but he didnt say anything else. Sir? Sir, can you hear me? The person on the other end of the line didnt get a response for a long time and was a little anxious. Sir, we need to confirm the patients identity with you. This is very important because at the moment, youre the only person we can contact among the only clues the patient provides. If you cant come to Country T to confirm it, hell eventually be sent to a shelter. Bai Chen closed his eyes and asked in a resigned tone, Does he have any other injuries besides amnesia? The other party said, Other than the head wound, his body has been carefully examined. There are no other wounds. Then did he mention anyones name in the past two weeks? Bai Chen asked again. The other party said, No. He didnt say a word for the past two weeks until yesterday. He repeated a string of numbers. This is the phone number. Bai Chen said, l understand. The other party continued to ask, Then can you come to Country T to confirm it? Ill send the exact address of the hospital to your phone later. Bai Chen did not answer directly if he was coming to Country T. Instead, he asked the other party, Can I contact you again with this phone number? The other party replied, Yes. Bai Chen said, Then wait for me to call back. Before tomorrow. The other party could sense that the person on the other end of the line was a little hesitant, so she did not rush him. She only replied, Okay, Ill wait for your call. Before the call ended, Bai Chen said, Please take good care of him. The other party immediately said, Dont worry. The hospital will definitely take good care of the patient during the identification process. If it exceeded the time to confirm his identity, the hospital would leave him alone and send him to a shelter. As the name implies, shelters took in people who had nowhere to live or were in a difficult situation. They were also called wanderers gathering places. After ending the call, Bai Chen took out his phone and saved the number on it. After doing this, he put Qiao Qiaos phone in her bag and helped the unconscious Qiao Qiao up. Qiao Qiao, its time to go home. Qiao Qiao didnt react. Bai Chen reached out and gently touched Qiao Qiao!s cheek. She had lost a lot of weight recently, and her cheeks were especially obvious, followed by her collarbone and thin body. If she continued to drink like this, her face would soon be too thin. Bai Chen didnt shake Qiao Qiao awake. He picked up the bag beside her and hung it on his arm. Then, he carried Qiao Qiao horizontally. After coming out of the bar, he put Qiao Qiao in the car. Bai Chen fastened her seatbelt and was about to leave when Qiao Qiao suddenly grabbed his arm and said with an aggrieved frown, Youre not leaving without me. Bai Chen looked at her quietly. He knew that she thought of him as Shao Jingmo. He didnt back out. Instead, he raised his other hand to the side of the car door. Qiao Qiao, can you hear me? Qiao Qiao slowly opened her eyes and burped. Seeing the face so close to her, she raised her hand and slapped it away. Why is it you again? Bai Chen smiled bitterly. You dont want to see me? Qiao Qiao seemed to have sobered up a little. She adjusted herself into a comfortable sitting position and tilted her head to the side, not looking at him. Dont you have anything else to do every day? Bai Chen reached out and pushed away the bangs on her forehead gently. If you had lived a good life and stopped coming to these places to drink, I probably wouldnt have appeared in front of you. Qiao Qiao closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, not replying. Of course he could tell. He retracted his hand. l know theres no point in saying this, and youre considered completely depraved now. You numb yourself with alcohol every day and live a muddle-headed life Actually, I want to know if youre punishing yourself by making life difficult for yourself, or are you thinking of falling like this and dying in an accident one day so that you can look for him as you wish? Bai Chen seemed to be talking to himself. Qiao Qiao heard him but ignored him. She pretended to be asleep with half wakefulness and half silence. l have a suggestion now. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was avoiding the topic, Bai Chen suddenly changed the topic.. Chapter 634 - Chapter 634: I Thought I’d Never See You Again (2) Chapter 634: I Thought Id Never See You Again (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiaos lowered eyelashes moved slightly. Bai Chen closed the passenger door and walked around the front of the car. He sat in the drivers seat and turned to her. Shall I take you to relax? Qiao Qiao slowly opened her eyes. Her head was tilted to the drivers seat. When she opened her eyes, she saw Bai Chens smiling face. Where are we going? Bai Chen said, Country T. Qiao Qiao closed her eyes again. Im not going. Bai Chen said, The scenery in Country T is very good. Qiao Qiao turned her back on Bai Chen. Im not going. Bai Chen smiled and took out his phone to type a message: Help me book two tickets to Country T tonight. After sending this message, Bai Chen took Qiao Qiaos bag from the backseat and found her ID card. Then, he edited his and Qiao Qiaos ID cards and sent them over. The other party quickly replied: Young Master, the fastest flight to Country T in Xingzhou is one. Bai Chen typed: Sure. Come to the airport in an hour and take my car away. After sending the message, Bai Chen put away his cell phone, adjusted the GPS, and drove straight to the airport. The bar was more than ten kilometers away from the airport. In the twenty minutes that Bai Chen had been driving, Qiao Qiao had fallen asleep again. After arriving at the airport, Bai Chen carried the sleeping Qiao Qiao into the airport. At first, Qiao Qiao was very resistant and refused to cooperate with the security check. Then, for some reason, she thought it through and was willing to cooperate. After nearly two hours of flying, the plane landed at Bangkok Airport. The next day, Qiao Qiao woke up in the hotel. She pulled open the curtains. The sun shone on her eyes and face. She raised her hand to cover them. After her eyes slowly adjusted to the strong morning light, she looked across at the golden beach and the blue sea. So beautiful. Is this Country T? Knock knock knock C There was a knock on the door. Qiao Qiao quickly lowered her head and tidied her clothes. After confirming that she was still normal, she went to open the door. Bai Chen stood outside the door. Morning. Qiao Qiao crossed her arms and had no intention of inviting him in. Arent you afraid that my parents will hunt you down after bringing me to Country T like this? Bai Chen sneered. Uncle and Auntie are good law-abiding citizens. At most, they bombarded me with phone calls. No, it should be bombarding me. Qiao Qiao made way for Bai Chen and turned around to pick up the phone on the bedside table. There have been more than twenty missed calls. Theyve already called the police. The Bai family took me away. Tell me, how do you explain this? Bai Chen did not come in. He leaned against the door frame and raised his hand to support his chin. Explanation is equivalent to concealment. Its more realistic to be beaten and scolded. Qiao Qiao finished looking at her cell phone and called Mother Qiao back. She told Mother Qiao the country she was in, but she didnt say the exact area she was in. She also explained her current situation. Although Mother Qiao was very anxious, she was also afraid that Qiao Qiao would do something drastic again. As long as she confirmed that Qiao Qiao was safe, she didnt force her to ask further. In the end, she only asked that Qiao Qiaos phone be open 24 hours a day. After negotiating with Mother Qiao, Qiao Qiao turned around and saw that Bai Chen was still standing there. She asked, Did you bring me to Country T just to relax? Bai Chen shrugged. What else? Qiao Qiao walked over. Let me say this first. You dragged me here. Im not in the mood to relax and enjoy the scenery. 1 heard that there are quite a lot of transvestites here. I want to play with them. Bai Chen: Qiao Qiao took the room card next to her. Well go our separate ways. Ill go out first. Bai Chen left. After Qiao Qiao closed the door, he followed her. Ill take you somewhere. Qiao Qiao asked casually, Where? Bai Chen said, Youll know when you get there. Qiao Qiao didnt reply. She thought that since Bai Chen had brought her to Country T, he must have made arrangements. After thinking about it, he just wanted to help her quit her drunken days. It was no use. Even if it stopped in Country T, she would still be the same as before when she returned to Xingzhou. She couldnt control herself. Without anything to look forward to in life, she felt that living was especially boring. Bai Chen rented a car and Qiao Qiao started to doze off. She was not familiar with Country T and could not understand the language of Country T, let alone the route here. When she looked at the pedestrians outside through the car window in a daze, her mind was blank. The car arrived at a hospital. After getting out of the car, she looked around and asked Bai Chen, who was walking towards her, Is this a hospital? Bai Chen nodded. Qiao Qiao turned around and left. Bai Chen pulled her back. Where are you going? Qiao Qiaos face was cold.. You dont think Im mentally ill, so you brought me to see a doctor, do you? Chapter 635 - Chapter 635: I Thought I’d Never See You Again (3) Chapter 635: I Thought Id Never See You Again (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Bai Chen was stunned at first, then he smiled. If you hadnt said so, I wouldnt have thought about it. Qiao Qiao shook off Bai Chens hand. Im not going in. Bai Chen did not chase after her and stop her. He only said, Im taking you to see someone. Qiao Qiao suddenly stopped walking. Her back slowly straightened, and her hands trembled at her sides. She turned to look at Bai Chen. What did you If one listened carefully, they would notice that Qiao Qiaos voice was trembling. Bai Chen smiled. Im taking you to see someone. Qiao Qiao walked back and asked anxiously, Is it him? Bai Chen did not nod or shake his head. He only asked her, Will you be obedient now? Qiao Qiao nodded immediately and nodded a lot. Bai Chen raised his hand and touched the top of Qiao Qiaos head. Then Ill take you in now. Qiao Qiao choked and nodded. On the way in, Qiao Qiao was especially obedient. She followed Bai Chen obediently and even looked around extremely carefully. She walked as fast as Bai Chen walked until she saw that nurse. While Bai Chen was talking to the nurse, Qiao Qiao listened obediently. The nurse looked at Qiao Qiao several times and even praised her. Shes like a quiet cherub. Bai Chen said to the nurse, That person might be her husband. Shes in a bad mood. The nurse covered her mouth. Really? Bai Chen smiled. l have to take her to confirm it first. The nurse nodded quickly. Okay. Follow me this way. It was a very ordinary large ward. There were six beds neatly arranged inside. There were people lying on the first five beds, except for the one by the window. The nurse looked around but couldnt see anyone. She became nervous. Ill go take a look at the surveillance cameras. Qiao Qiao could tell that the nurse was nervous. She immediately grabbed Bai Chens arm and asked uneasily, Are we late? Bai Chen comforted her. It cant be such a coincidence. He disappeared again as soon as we arrived. Qiao Qiao was so anxious that tears were about to fall. At this moment, a nurses voice came from the door Youre back. l thought Oh, by the way, your family came to see you. One of them seems to be your wife. She looked worried Before the nurse could finish, she was suddenly interrupted by Bai Chen. Sorry, wait a moment. The nurse saw the person walking behind Bai Chen and understood what was going on. She moved aside first. Qiao Qiao walked over slowly. She looked at the man standing outside the ward. After a few days, she felt like years had passed. Tears instantly flowed out of her eyes. She couldnt believe it at first. She thought shed imagined it because shed missed him so much. And yet he was so real, appearing in front of her. Little Uncle When she called out, her emotions had already collapsed. Shao Jingmo stood outside the ward. He was wearing an ill-fitting hospital gown. It had been more than half a month since he was rescued and sent to the hospital. His stubble had grown, and his hair was a little messy. He had not taken good care of it. Compared to before, the change was huge. He looked like he had fallen into dire straits. But no matter how much he had changed, Qiao Qiao could recognize him at a glance because it was a familiarity engraved in her bones. She walked toward him, one step at a time. Shao Jingmo stood on the spot and looked at her quietly. His gaze was so unfamiliar. Even when Qiao Qiao threw herself into his arms and hugged him, he didnt show any resistance, nor did he move, he just let her hug him. The nurse immediately turned to Bai Chen and said, When he woke up, he resisted anyones touch and the approach of our medical staff. Its amazing. When she approached him just now, he didnt show any resistance. Bai Chen felt quite upset. Maybe he just acknowledges his wife. The nurse agreed. That makes sense. After Qiao Qiao threw herself into Shao Jingmos arms, her tears kept falling like beads. Soon, a large portion of the clothes in front of her was soaked. She cried until she was out of breath. She sobbed until she was a little out of breath. She looked up at him for a long time, but she couldnt say anything She was too agitated. When people were extremely agitated, they would lose their voice. If she didnt say another word soon, she might faint from anxiety because she couldnt catch her breath. At this moment, her brain had clearly begun to lack oxygen, and her body could not help but go limp. However, her hands grabbed the clothes on his arm tightly and did not let go. She could not stop the whimpers. Everyone could tell that something was wrong with Qiao Qiao. Bai Chens expression changed drastically. He was about to step forward when Shao Jingmo grabbed Qiao Qiaos waist and pulled her into his arms, patting her back. Cough cough cough cough cough Qiao Qiao suddenly coughed violently. Shao Jingmo did not let go of her. He continued to pat her back until he heard her catch her breath and say intermittently, I- I thought I I would never see you again in my life.. Boohoo Chapter 636 - Chapter 636: You Love Me Very Much (1) Chapter 636: You Love Me Very Much (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao threw herself into Shao Jingmos arms and cried for a long time. He didnt change his posture, and his face was expressionless. He just held her and let all her tears wet the clothes. He was surprised that he didnt mind, so he fell silent and thoughtful. Bai Chen listened to Qiao Qiaos cries from the side and felt especially heartbroken. In the end, he couldnt stand it anymore and reminded him, least coax her. Are you going to let her cry until the end of time? Shao Jingmo looked at Bai Chen expressionlessly. Seeing that Shao Jingmo did not react, Bai Chen said helplessly, Do you know how she has been living every day since you disappeared? She needs you to comfort her very much now. If you dont coax her, she will cry until her brain lacks oxygen and faints! The nurse also looked worried. Shes too agitated. Its better to calm down as soon as possible. Hearing the nurses reminder, Shao Jingmos expressionless face finally changed. He cupped her cheek with both hands and ignored everyone else present. He lowered his head and kissed Qiao Qiaos lips. The crying stopped. Qiao Qiao was stunned. The instant confusion was so great that it could ignore the slight pain of the stubble on his face. At this moment, time seemed to have pressed the pause button. Although Shao Jingmos kiss was sudden, it wasnt domineering. It was gentle and undoubtedly familiar to Qiao Qiao. While Qiao Qiao was still in the kiss that stunned her, Shao Jingmo moved his head back and his lips slowly left hers. His dark eyelashes dropped slightly, and his dark eyes stared into her misty eyes. Although he did not say anything, he seemed to have said a thousand words. The nurse looked away silently. Bai Chen looked unhappy. He thought to himself, I asked you to coax her, but I didnt ask you to kiss her, and not care about the life and death of others at all. In the end, Bai Chen and the nurse went out first. Otherwise, it would seem too crowded standing here. When they were outside, Bai Chen said to the nurse, Its been hard on him to stay here, move him to a VIP ward. The nurse nodded quickly. This way. Ill take you through the paperwork. Shao Jingmo had been staying in a multiple ward for the past few days. Bai Chen quickly completed the procedures and upgraded Shao Jingmos ward to a VIP ward. The environmental facilities were a hundred times better than the original multi-person ward. When Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo went upstairs, she held Shao Jingmos hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she let go. He seemed to sense her uneasiness, so when she squeezed his hand tightly, he tightened his grip on hers. When they arrived at the ward, the nurse roughly introduced some of the furnishings. Qiao Qiaos emotions and limbs seemed to have been restrained. She listened to the nurse absent-mindedly and turned to look at Shao Jingmo, who was standing in front of the window from time to time. It was only when the nurse left that she relaxed. She went to lock the door first and jogged to Shao Jingmos side. Little She was about to call out to him when Shao Jingmo looked over. Their eyes met, and her throat choked, but she didnt shout. The stubble on Shao Jingmos chin was obvious. Although he was in a sorry state, the messy stubble did not affect his handsomeness. He was still the same person. As long as she took a look, she would be tempted by him countless times. How did you end up in Country T? she asked softly. Shao Jingmo did not answer her question. Instead, he said, We kissed just now. Qiao Qiao was stunned. The scene of her hugging Shao Jingmo and kissing him as if no one was around quickly appeared in her mind. At that time, her eyes were filled with him, so she did not feel embarrassed. Now that Shao Jingmo suddenly mentioned it, her face suddenly heated up. She stammered, I-I was agitated just now. l Before she could finish, Shao Jingmo asked, Why did you call me Little Uncle? Qiao Qiaos eyes widened and she looked at him in confusion. Shao Jingmo continued to ask her, So are we uncle and niece? Or is there some other relationship? Qiao Qiao: Qiao Qiao realized that she couldnt answer a single question from Shao Jingmo. She wondered why hed asked that. Or was he actually testing her? Or did he feel that she shouldnt find him again, so he was still alienating her like LJCIUIC. Thinking of all kinds of possibilities, Qiao Qiao felt even more suffocated. When she spoke again, her tone was filled with grievance. I already know what youve done for me. Shao Jingmo looked puzzled. What did I do for you? Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Qiao Qiao felt a little angry, but she couldnt bear to lose her temper with him. She couldnt even bear to say a harsh word. She only swallowed her anger. You dont have to try to hide it from me anymore. I know everything youve done for me. Let me tell you, no matter what method you use to chase me away or treat me badly in the future, I wont leave you unless 1 die.. Chapter 637 - Chapter 637: You Love Me Very Much (2) Chapter 637: You Love Me Very Much (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In a moment of anger, she said too much. Shao Jingmo frowned when he heard that. Its stupid to think less of your life. Im stupid. Im hopelessly stupid. What can I do? I just have to have you. The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and her nasal voice became louder. Seeing that she was aggrieved, Shao Jingmos tone softened. Im just reminding you to put yourself first at all times. Qiao Qiao said stubbornly, Youre first. Shao Jingmo frowned even more. Am I very important? Qiao Qiao looked into his eyes boldly. Very important! Those two short words were all her sincerity, the kind she held in front of him. Shao Jingmos expression turned serious. So whats our relationship? We Qiao Qiao was about to say something when she suddenly realized a possibility. She asked him tentatively, Do you know who you are? Shao Jingmo answered truthfully, l dont know. When Qiao Qiao heard this answer, she felt that he was joking, but his expression was so serious that he didnt seem to be joking. Qiao Qiao panicked. Youre lying to me, arent you? Why would I lie to you? Shao Jingmos furrowed brows relaxed a little. He took half a step away and distanced himself from her. He said to her, This is the first time Ive seen you today. The first time hed seen her Qiao Qiao couldnt help but let out a soft laugh. But soon, that smile faded. Her throat tightened, and when she breathed, she felt a dull pain in her heart. She shook her head silently. Thats impossible. Shao Jingmo asked her, Do you not believe me? Qiao Qiaos eyes turned red again. How can this be the first time weve met today? Weve long She couldnt say it. A sob clogged her throat. Shao Jingmo had an urge to pull her into his arms and hug her. In the end, he suppressed this urge and said in a calm voice, l believe weve met long ago and are very familiar with each other. Perhaps were both very important to each other. If not, why would I follow the urgency in my heart and take the initiative to kiss you just now. When she heard Shao Jingmos words, Qiao Qiaos heart skipped a beat. She stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to reach out to his neck and kiss his lips. Shao Jingmo did not avoid it. Instead, he turned passive into active, he clasped the back of her head and deepened the kiss. After Bai Chen finished the procedures, he went to buy a few meals. When he came up, he learned from the nurse that Qiao Qiao had already taken Shao Jingmo to the VIP ward. Considering that their separation was better than their new love, Bai Chen was afraid that he would enter and see something he shouldnt see, so he knocked on the door in advance. After a while, Qiao Qiao opened the door. Bai Chen pushed the door open and entered. He looked around and saw only Qiao Qiao. He asked, Wheres Shao Jingmo? The bathroom, Qiao Qiao said. Just a minute ago, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo were still kissing. A minute later, Bai Chen knocked on the door. The knock frightened Qiao Qiao so much that she bit Shao Jingmos lower lip. His expression did not change, but she hurriedly wanted to see if she had bitten through the skin. Shao Jingmo grabbed her wrist, his eyes darkening. Very familiar. Qiao Qiao didnt react for a moment. Familiar with what? The warm touch of my lips, he said. Qiao Qiao blushed and broke free from her wrist. Ill open the door. When she opened the door for Bai Chen, Shao Jingmo had already gone to the bathroom. Bai Chen placed the food on the table. How is it? Is the environment of this VIP ward good? Qiao Qiao eagerly poured Bai Chen a glass of warm water. When she handed it to him, she even said, Thank you. Bai Chens hand that was reaching out to take the cup stopped in midair. He smiled bitterly and said, How can you say thank you when youre pouring me water? Qiao Qiao said, Thats two different things. Bai Chen took the cup and drank it in one go. Since were talking about two different things, why dont you tell me why you look unhappy? Shouldnt you be happy to find him? Qiao Qiao composed herself and slowly exhaled. He doesnt remember me, she said. Bai Chen looked unconvinced. He doesnt remember you? Qiao Qiao nodded. Isnt that nonsense! Bai Chen had a complicated expression on his face. He paced back and forth with his hands on his hips and suddenly muttered, When the nurse told me on the phone that he had lost his memory, 1 believed her. But his reaction to you just now was clearly that he remembered you. Otherwise, he wouldnt have kissed you. Qiao Qiao was slightly stunned and looked a little uncomfortable. Recalling the main point of his words, she immediately asked, Youre saying that the nurse already told you that Little Uncle had lost his memory on the phone? Bai Chen stopped pacing and turned around. l also knew about it last night. He had lost his memory, but he only remembered your number. The hospital called to confirm with you, which means that this call was originally to your phone. However, you were drunk at the time, so I answered the call. Qiao Qiao immediately understood. So bringing me to Country T last night was a last-minute decision, not because you knew in advance that he was here. Im not that resourceful that Ill know where hell drift after he falls into the sea. Bai Chen said slowly, It was a little rushed. I didnt know how to tell you, so I decided to bring you to Country T first. Of course, I was mainly afraid that if anything happened after 1 told you in advance, or if the person the nurse was talking about wasnt him, all my expectations would be for nothing. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. She was filled with gratitude for what Bai Chen had done for her. Bai Chen put down the cup and walked around to stand beside her. He said earnestly, Even if he has lost his memory, its still him. Its good that he cant remember. Take him away and live somewhere else so that the Bai family cant find you. Bai Chens words hit home on Qiao Qiaos thoughts. She had not planned to tell Bai Chen. Even though the two of them had become very good friends, she would always have scruples because he was a member of the Bai family. Bai Chen saw through Qiao Qiaos thoughts and asked, Is that what you plan to do? Qiao Qiao nodded. Bai Chen laughed in anger. Ive been busy with you and went to the bar every day to protect you and pick you up. When I found out about his situation, I brought you to him immediately. In the end, youre so guarded against me? Qiao Qiao felt very guilty, but she also told the truth. Because youre a member of the Bai family. Im sorry about that, Bai Chen. Bai Chen sighed. Thats true. Im a member of the Bai family. You were right to guard against the Bai family. Qiao Qiao wanted to say something else. Bai Chen waved his hand at her. Alright, since thats what you plan to do, then arrange it according to your plan. You dont have to worry about me selling you for the rest of your life. Remember to call me when youre settled. If youre worried, you dont have to tell me the address after youre settled. Just as he finished speaking, the bathroom door opened and Shao Jingmo walked out. He shaved his stubble and washed his face. Even if his hair turned to straw, it could not hide the beauty of that face. Bai Chen clicked his tongue. As expected, the cost of us men becoming handsome is too low. Shao Jingmos cold gaze landed on Bai Chen. His gaze was a little unfamiliar. l dont know your identity yet. Bai Chen introduced himself seriously. Im Qiao Qiaos brother, your brother-in-law. Shao Jingmo retracted his cold gaze and turned to look at Qiao Qiao. His gaze softened visibly. Are we married? Theyre already divorced. Qiao Qiao knew that she should tell the truth, but Bai Chens serious nonsense had affected her just now, so she went along with it. Yes, Im your wife. You love me very much.. Chapter 638 - Chapter 638: Send You Off With A Good Wind (1) Chapter 638: Send You Off With A Good Wind (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao didnt blush when she said this. She felt that this was just a white lie. Besides, Shao Jingmo had lost his memory and couldnt remember anything. It was good to not talk about the past. Although she was fantasizing, Shao Jingmos reaction caught her off guard. He suddenly reached out to her. Wheres our marriage certificate? The expression on Qiao!s pretty face suddenly froze. Bai Chen almost couldnt help but laugh out loud. He thought to himself, Who asked you to lie? Continue to lie. Ahem Qiao Qiaos originally confident eyes kept dodging because of her guilt. She didnt dare to look into Shao Jingmos eyes at all and answered him slowly, Who would go out and bring their marriage certificate with them at any time? I dont have this habit. Shao Jingmo should have taken it seriously. So, you didnt bring it with you, and youre not fooling me. Of course. Qiao Qiao raised her voice, but she wasnt confident. Im definitely not lying to you. Youre the only person Ill never lie to in my life. You can trust me 100% l believe you, Shao Jingmo said. Qiao Qiaos eyebrows twitched, and her reaction was a little silly. Do you really believe me? Shao Jingmo said bluntly, Didnt you say that you wouldnt lie to me for the rest of your life and make me believe you 100%? Ah Yes!! Qiao Qiaos beautiful face was filled with a bright smile. Shao Jingmo stared at it for a moment and looked a little dazed. Frames of fragmented images suddenly flashed through his mind. These fragmented images were trying to piece together. Perhaps because he was very eager to repair those fragmented images, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. The pain came too suddenly. Shao Jingmo could have endured it, but as the pain spread, he lowered his head and pressed the palm of his hand against his forehead with a painful expression. Seeing him like this, Qiao Qiao was so frightened that her voice cracked. Whats wrong? Is it a headache? Shao Jingmo waved his hand, but the symptoms did not ease. The tingling sensation continued to spread. Bai Chen walked over with a solemn expression. It should be a psychogenic headache. Qiao Qiao didnt quite understand what Bai Chen was saying. Whats a psychogenic headache? Bai Chen explained calmly, Its usually when one is too agitated and stimulated the blood vessels in their brains. He should have recalled some of his past just now. Those images appeared in his mind without warning. He tried to receive those messages, but it was very difficult. In other words, Little Uncle needs to rest the most now? Qiao Qiao asked. Yes. Bai Chen nodded slightly. Not only must he rest, but he also has to rest well. Qiao Qiao immediately helped Shao Jingmo to rest. Bai Chen looked at Qiao Qiao!s busy figure and knew that he couldnt help much here. He also seemed redundant. Then, he left the ward silently. Qiao Qiao actually knew when Bai Chen left, but she didnt stop him. She was distracted and weak now. She could only ignore Bai Chen for the time being and remember his kindness. She pulled a chair and sat by the bed. Just as she was about to sit down, Shao Jingmo suddenly said, Here. Qiao Qiao looked up at him. When he lifted the covers to make room for her, she immediately understood what he meant. Shaking her head, she said, 1 1 dont need to rest. Youre the one who needs it more now. Shao Jingmo looked at the ceiling, and his already cold voice became cold. l understand. So you were lying to me. Qiao Qiao quickly explained, No, Im not lying to you. You dont have to explain. I understand. After all, Im now an unknovvn person with no memories at all. Anyone can make up a story to lie to me. With that, Shao Jingmo turned his back on Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao: Qiao Qiao didnt know that Shao Jingmo would be so sensitive after losing his memory. Her heart ached. Afraid that sulking would be bad for his memory recovery, she quickly took off her shoes and climbed into his bed. As quietly as she could, she hugged him from behind. Seeing that he didnt avoid it, she became bolder. She pulled the blanket over him and covered her. This way, they would sleep together. The familiar fir on his body filled her nose. Qiao Qiao couldnt help but feel sad. It had been a long time since she had experienced such peace of mind since the argument and then her messy life. At this moment, Shao Jingmo pried her hand away and turned around. Qiao Qiao thought that he was probably not angry anymore, or that he had something to ask her. Unexpectedly, she was pressed under him. The seamless oppression made her freeze. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide with confusion, horror, and a hint of undisguised excitement.. Chapter 639 - Chapter 639: Send You Off With A Good Wind (2) Chapter 639: Send You Off With A Good Wind (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Jingmo saw everything. He controlled the strength in his body and did not press it all on her. He bent his knees and pressed them between her legs, his breathing gradually becoming heavier. There was always a faint fragrance coming from her body that made him familiar and infatuated. Although he suspected their relationship, he was actually very sure that she was closely related to him. Shao Jingmo stared into her eyes for a long time before he suddenly said, Today is special. Qiao Qiao was fascinated by the familiarity she hadnt seen in a long time. She couldnt help but sink into it for him. Her heart was beating wildly. She swallowed and asked, Whats special? Shao Jingmos voice was low and hoarse. When I woke up, all I saw were strangers. Only you gave me a familiar feeling at a glance. Weve really met before. These words undoubtedly made Qiao Qiao feel excited and satisfied. Even if he had lost his memory, he would still retain a portion of everything related to her in his subconscious. More than met. Qiao Qiao raised her hand and poked his chest with her fingertip, reminding him, Im your wife. You have to remember this sentence. Dont forget it in the future. Okay, Ill remember it. As soon as he said that, his expression became a little more serious. By the way, honey, whats your name? Qiao Qiao: This conversation was really strange! He was clearly pressing against her, and the atmosphere was filled with blushing and heartbeats, but he suddenly asked her what her name was. Qiao Qiao suddenly felt defeated and pouted. You remember my phone number, but you dont remember my name. That phone number came to me suddenly. I was afraid l t d forget, so 1 told the nurse, he explained seriously. Qiao Qiao smiled. Well, I dont mean to blame you. Actually, she was overjoyed. It was sweet. That feeling was like lying on a soft cloud. She took the initiative to put her hands on his neck and said softly, Qiao Guigui. The moment she said those three words, a sharp pain came from the depths of his heart. Shao Jingmo suddenly frowned. Qiao Qiaos expression changed drastically. She held his face and asked worriedly, Does your head hurt again? Did my name stimulate your memory? Its not a headache, its a heartache, he said. Qiao Qiao was puzzled. Could it be could it be that theres something wrong with your heart? She immediately pushed him and tried to get up. They must have seen that you were alone and couldnt contact your family, so they didnt do a specific comprehensive checkup on you. Youre so seriously injured and the sea Ill take you for a comprehensive checkup first. Only then will I be at ease. Shao Jingmo pressed her down and wrapped his palm around her back. Then, he pulled her into his arms and comforted her gently. Im fine. Then he took a moment to recover, waited for the twinge to dissipate, picked up one of her hands, and bent his head to kiss her palm. Qiao Qiao paused slightly, her almond-shaped eyes filled with mist. He closed his eyes and murmured, Its because its so familiar. So familiar that just hearing the name makes my heart ache. The mist in Qiao Qiaos eyes instantly condensed into dew because of his words. Dont cry, he said. When Qiao Qiao spoke, her voice was very nasal. How can I control it just because I want to? You didnt blame me? He wanted to be sure. No. She shook her head. The tip of her nose was red. Shao Jingmo lowered his chin slightly and leaned closer to her. Their breaths intertwined, and it was especially rich. He asked her in a hoarse voice, Then can I kiss you now? In such an atmosphere, every word Shao Jingmo said was undoubtedly tempting to Qiao Qiao. Her cheeks were hot, her heart was racing, and her breathing was a mess. Even though her breath was in a mess, she remained calm and said in a low voice, You cant kiss me. It would be a mess here. She couldnt bear to think of a scene that couldnt be stopped. Shao Jingmo slowly stood up. Okay, I wont kiss you. Qiao Qiao got up. Halfway through, Shao Jingmo suddenly pressed down on her. His arrival was sudden. He grabbed the back of her head with one hand and pressed her shoulder with the other. His kiss came. She couldnt avoid it. She let him take what he wanted. Suddenly, she wasnt worried anymore. She opened herself up and gave it to him. For no other reason than that this person was him. Shao Jingmo could feel that she was accepting him. He lowered his head and kissed her exquisite eyebrows before lying down. Sleep with me for a while. Qiao Qiao was stunned. She didnt dare think about it. She threw herself sideways into his arms, and he took the opportunity to lift his hand and pull her into his arms. Go to sleep.. Chapter 640 - Chapter 640: Send You Off With A Good Wind (3) Chapter 640: Send You Off With A Good Wind (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao giggled. Im like your child, because you sound like youre coaxing a child. Shao Jingmo patted the back of her shoulder with his palm, as if it was beating a beat. How about this? Isnt it more like it? Qiao Qiao nodded in his arms. Shao Jingmo said, l feel the most at ease now. Me too, she said. Later on, Qiao Qiao fell asleep for some reason. Perhaps it was because she was very at ease in Shao Jingmos arms, but she unknowingly felt sleepy. When she woke up, she was alone in the hospital bed. The absence of his residual warmth made her uneasy. She immediately rolled off the bed to look for him. Because she was in such a hurry, she forgot to put on her shoes. She opened the door and was about to go out when she saw the person standing outside. She was suddenly stunned. She looked up at him, her face pale from shock. Little Uncle Shao Jingmo originally thought that he would be able to sleep with her for a while when he returned. He did not expect her to sleep so lightly and wake up quickly. Seeing that she was worried, her hair was messy, and she was barefoot and not wearing her slippers, he frowned and went forward to pick her up horizontally. No matter how anxious you are, you cant not wear shoes. Qiao Qiao pouted, Im in too much of a hurry. Shao Jingmo asked her, Whats the hurry? Qiao Qiaos voice was low. Im afraid I just had a beautiful dream. When I wake up from this dream, youll disappear. She was afraid. Very, very afraid. That was why she was so sad. Shao Jingmo pursed his thin lips into a straight line as he walked in and pulled her inside. As he walked, he explained, l went to see Bai Chen. Qiao Qiao turned to look at him. When did you go? He said truthfully, After you fell asleep. So you were waiting for me to fall asleep so that you could sneak over to see Bai Chen? Qiao Qiao asked. Then what did you talk about? Shao Jingmo made her sit by the bed and pressed his palm on her shoulder. To understand my identity and background. With that, he bent down and helped her put on her slippers. When Qiao Qiao heard him say this, her heart skipped a beat. She was afraid that Bai Chen would say more, but on second thought, Shao Jingmo should know everything in the past. But those memories were not good. After putting on her shoes, she stood up and frowned. Did Bai Chen tell you everything? No. No? He seems to be afraid of letting something slip. Hes been patronizing me. Good job, Bai Chen. Shao Jingmo could see the joy on her face. It seems that youre very happy that I cant remember the past. No. Qiao Qiao immediately shook her head. Shao Jingmo raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose. Why dont you look in the mirror? How happy are you smiling now? Qiao Qiao bit her lower lip and controlled her facial expression. That night, Bai Chen did not appear again. Qiao Qiao knew that he hadnt left Country T, but he hadnt told her where he had gone. At night, she still stayed with Shao Jingmo. As they interacted, she had a vague feeling that Shao Jingmo must have learned something from Bai Chen in the afternoon. Because when she accidentally mentioned the Bai family and the Qiao family, Shao Jingmo did not react. He was very indifferent to the topic, not curious at all. Weird, isnt it? But that was it. The less curious he was, the more she thought he knew something. After staying in the hospital for three days, Qiao Qiao went through the discharge procedures for Shao Jingmo. When she paid, she realized that Bai Chen had left a sum of money and the hospital had even returned a portion to her. She called Bai Chen. Bai Chen picked up her call. Baby, did you miss me? Qiao Qiao turned on the speakerphone, and Shao Jingmo was beside her. She was a little embarrassed, because Bai Chen usually didnt call her that. At this moment, Shao Jingmos expression was cold. He was not angry, but unhappy. She tried her best to ignore Shao Jingmos gaze. She cleared her throat and said to Bai Chen, When I was doing the discharge procedures just now, I realized that you had paid the money. The hospital even returned some to me. Bai Chen said, Is that all? Qiao Qiao wasnt shy. She said generously, Thank you. Were all friends who know each other well. Theres no point in saying thank you. The wind on Bai Chens side was very noisy and sounded a little ear-piercing. Qiao Qiao asked speculatively, Are you by the sea? Bai Chen asked, Did you hear it? Qiao Qiao said, Mm. Bai Chen said, Ive never been to Country T before. This is my first time here. I realized that its quite beautiful here, so I plan to stay for a while. As for you guys, Ive thought about it. I wont send you off when you leave Country T. You can contact me when you land. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. Ill contact you when we land. Just as she hung up, Bai Chens high-pitched voice suddenly came from the phone. Have a good trip. See you around. Qiao Qiao felt very secure. Her lips curled into a gentle smile. Ill see you again. She hung up, Shao Jingmo held Qiao Qiaos hand and walked out of the hospital. Have you thought about where to go? Shao Jingmo asked her. Without thinking, Qiao Qiao said, To the capital. Well live in the capital from now on.. Chapter 641 - Chapter 641: How Did You Fancy a Little Piece of Trash Like Me? (1) Chapter 641: How Did You Fancy a Little Piece of Trash Like Me? (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Qiao Qiao arrived in the capital, she opened a hotpot restaurant that she had dreamed of. She thought that with her hot-bloodedness, she would definitely reach the peak of her new life. In the end, it only took three months for the hotpot restaurant to close. She was not discouraged. She thought that her expectations for reaching the peak of her life were too high and she encountered a bump. She comforted herself that it was fine and stood up where she fell, so she lowered her expectations a little. After that, she changed her money-making strategy and started investing. Every time before investing, she would put in a lot of effort to analyze the risks of this investment. If the investment was a movie, she would go to Li Xiwu in advance to sound her out, such as how high the industrys evaluation of this movie was. Li Xiwu had always answered Qiao Qiaos questions. Every time Qiao Qiao asked, Li Xiwu would carefully analyze the market for investing in movies for Qiao Qiao and assess all aspects. She would even give examples of movies with the same theme and which were easier to enter the competition segment of international film festivals. Of course, it was just an example. It didnt mean that this movie would make a steady profit as long as Qiao Qiao invested. However, Qiao Qiao was bold. After analyzing it, she invested immediately. And in the end, without exception, she lost. The movie failed, and it was difficult to even recover the losses from the box office, let alone enter an international film festival. Qiao Qiao was still not discouraged. What she did not lack the least was confidence. She would not admit defeat even if she had to fight to the end. Hence, she continued to invest in new movies. She did not leave the television drama behind. She invested in the drama that was the adaptation of the most popular novel. In the end, she lost money time and time again. After that, she lost several movies and television dramas. She was numb from the losses. Qiao Qiaos mind collapsed. In the beginning, she could treat it as testing the waters. After all, it was not so easy to earn money in the capital. She had to take something one step at a time. However, after figuring out the way, she still invested steadily. She had never seen the money return when it went out. She really had no choice but to believe in metaphysics! It was too strange. She suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when she came to the capital alone, she had also gone bankrupt. After three years, she had not done anything. Qiao Qiao couldnt help but guess. Could it really be that she and the capital were incompatible? At night, Qiao Qiao returned home with a dejected expression. By then, Shao Jingmo had already finished cooking. The last soup was about to be served. He was wearing casual clothes and an apron. He stood in front of the stove, his hands busy. Hearing Qiao Qiao come back, he raised his voice. Wash your hands first and prepare to eat immediately. Oh, got it. Qiao Qiao threw her bag and car keys on the cabinet at the entrance and shuffled in. The moment she opened the door, she smelled the fragrance of food. She walked closer to the dining table and saw that it was indeed all her favorites. In the past three years, Shao Jingmo had controlled her appetite too accurately. He was simply a perfect husband. Still When she thought about how she could not do anything and would lose money no matter what she invested, she felt embarrassed to face Shao Jingmo. However, she couldnt not tell him. She would feel better if she said it. Besides, Shao Jingmo was the best at enlightening her. She walked around and headed for the kitchen. What soup are you making tonight? She leaned in the doorway, grinning. Shao Jingmo turned around and looked at her with a gentle expression. A pigs belly stewed with chicken. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. No wonder it smells so good. Shao Jingmo put down the spoon and waved at her. Come here. Qiao Qiao immediately came to Shao Jingmos side. Just as she approached, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. This action was especially gentle and delicate. Qiao Qiao knew that this was a comforting hug. Although she had just returned and had not said anything, she felt that he must already know that she had returned in defeat again. Little Uncle, I think I have to recognize a fact, Qiao Qiao stammered. Shao Jingmo said, Speak. Qiao Qiao would only feel at ease if she stayed in his arms. She snuggled into his arms. l realized that I dont seem to have the ability to support this family. Shao Jingmo chuckled. You lost your investment again? Qiao Qiao said, Yes! If it were anyone elses husband, when faced with his wifes repeated investments and losses, he would either not be able to help but say a few words or remind his wife not to do these things if she was not suitable to invest and earn money. Anyway, Qiao Qiao felt that she was wasting Shao Jingmos patience, until there was nothing left. But in fact, not only did Shao Jingmo not say anything about her, but he also did not remind her or say some serious words. He always said, Ill transfer 100 million yuan to you tomorrow, you could invest in another film project.. Chapter 642 - Chapter 642: How Did You Fancy a Little Piece of Trash Like Me? (2) Chapter 642: How Did You Fancy a Little Piece of Trash Like Me? (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qiao Qiao looked up from his arms. Youre giving me money again? Again? Thats not very accurate. The smile on Shao Jingmos face deepened. Every sum of money I have is shared between us. Currently, theres no liquidity under your name. Im not lending you money or giving you charity. Im giving you convenience. Qiao Qiao wasnt very happy. Im already so prodigal, yet youre still at ease giving me so much money. If I spend all my money, are we going to beg on the streets? Then lets see if youll spend all the money 1 earn first, or if well go begging on the streets together. Just as Shao Jingmo finished speaking, a gurgling sound came from the stove behind him. The soup in the pot was boiling, and a little of the soup splashed out along the lid. Shao Jingmo immediately pushed Qiao Qiao away to avoid the hot soup splashing on her. He quickly turned off the heat and stirred the pot with a soup spoon. Lets eat first. All the dishes were served. All of them were Qiao Qiaos favorite. Shao Jingmo scooped a bowl of fragrant soup for Qiao Qiao first. Qiao Qiao held it and took a small sip before her body warmed up. Its a little hot. Drink slowly, Shao Jingmo reminded her. The bowl was made of mino yaki and was very insulated. No matter how long she held it. it would not burn her hand. It was also because her hand could not sense too much heat that it was easy to scald her mouth when she drank it. Qiao Qiao knew to pay attention to these things, but every time she drank hot soup, Shao Jingmo would specially remind her. His thoughtfulness was meticulous. Qiao Qiao held the bowl and said, The nanny we hired is probably the most idle, Shao Jingmo said, She gets busy when Im busy. Qiao Qiao put down the bowl with a serious expression. See, its fine if youre busy at the company, but youre also busy at home, Actually, you can just leave cooking to the nanny. Shao Jingmo chuckled. l cant slack off. Qiao Qiao was puzzled. Slack off? Shao Jingmo said, l just want to take care of you personally. Im worried about others. My heart aches for you. Youre busy at the office during the day and have to come back at night to cook for me. How am I going to live the rest of my life if such a good husband had bad health? she said matter-of-factly. Shao Jingmo picked up some food for her. Im not that tired that I cant cook dinner. I dont need you to worry about life without me. Qiao Qiao giggled. She picked up her chopsticks and ate the food Shao Jingmo had picked for her. Then, she nodded. Little Uncle, your culinary skills are much better than mine. Shao Jingmo said, You flatter me, Qiao Qiaos cheeks puffed up. As she ate, she said, My investment this time has failed again. Do you know what went wrong? Shao Jingmo asked casually. Qiao Qiao shook her head. l dont know. If I knew, I wouldnt have lost it again. Shao Jingmo couldnt help but laugh. Your husband is in the investment industry. Youre investing blindly outside, but you didnt ask me. If you dont lose, who will? Qiao Qiao stopped pouting. She looked up at him in a daze for a few seconds. When she opened her mouth, it was filled with grievance. Little Uncle, are you laughing at me? Shao Jingmo stood up and walked behind her. He considerately gathered her loose hair and tied it up to prevent it from falling into the bowl when she drank the soup. Im reminding you that your husband is not just for show. You have to use it. Qiao Qiao answered him seriously, Okay, Ill use it tonight. Previously, she did not dare to spout dirty words. Now she was at ease. After coming to the capital for three years, they had been together day and night. Time did not dilute his love for her. Instead, it became stronger and more loving. Shao Jingmo would never say things like l cant leave you, but he would express it with his actions. For example, he was actually very busy. The second month after coming to the capital, he had recovered all his memories. However, Shao Jingmo had pretended for half a year. In this half a year, he had focused all his attention on Qiao Qiao and stayed with her wholeheartedly. One day half a year later, Qiao Qiao accidentally discovered that he had regained his memory. He knew that it would be difficult to reconcile if he kept it a secret anymore, so he simply confessed. Unsurprisingly, Qiao Qiao was angry, and it took Shao Jingmo a long time to coax her. Although Qiao Qiao was angry, she was angry that he had long regained his memory and didnt tell her. In fact, she was very happy. Without his memory, he was like an incomplete fragment. Recovering his memory was the most complete him. After the couples honeymoon period for half a year, Shao Jingmo began to plan to take root in the capital. Without the halo of the former Deep Blue Group or new connections, he could still rely on his strong methods and ability to rise again. He first entered an investment bank. With his unique vision and investment analysis, he quickly hooked up with the capitals investment bank supervisor. At the end of the first year, he established the Qiao Lan Capital and became the CEO of Qiao Lan Capital. The next year, he was selected to the list of top investors. He invested in more than a dozen companies under his name, two of which achieved actual control. In the third year, Shao Jingmos name was quite famous in the global financial circle. He was even rated as one of the most valuable investment bankers. He jumped to become an investment banker and was even a venture capital big boss that his peers talked about. It took Shao Jingmo less than three years to stand at the top of the pyramid again. When the Bai family found out that he was alive and had made a fortune in the capital, they were furious, but no one dared to look for him. This was because everyone in the Bai family knew that Shao Jingmo had never broken his promise. He had indeed fulfilled his promise. After falling into the sea, his life and death were up to fate. Moreover, he still had the Bai familys secret in his hands. Ihe Bai family did not dare to act rashly at all. They could only grit their teeth and forget about the grudge. They had to protect the Bai familys future first. Shao Jingmos ability was obvious to all. He was very outstanding, making Qiao Qiao admire him. However, she was still a little curious. Little Uncle, I have something to ask you. Shao Jingmo continued to pick up food for her. Could it be that youve become enlightened and need me to help you analyze the investment trend? No, no. Qiao Qiao shook her head. l was thinking that you have such good taste and your investments are accurate. Youve never lost. M/hy did you take a fancy to a little piece of trash like me with such a vicious eye? Shao Jingmo replied calmly, Its not that I have good taste. Its because I want to protect you, so I have to become powerful and become your backer. Youre the greatest influence.. Chapter 643 - Chapter 643: The World of Three (1) Chapter 643: The World of Three (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After many failed investments, Qiao Qiao was not dispirited. Under Shao Jingmos encouragement, her fighting spirit was quickly reignited. After that, under Shao Jingmos analysis, she used the 100 million yuan that Shao Jingmo had given her to invest in a modern criminal investigation theme that was not very promising. Modern criminal investigation had never been thought highly of. Qiao Qiao knew that in the film and television industry, ancient films were always the most popular, followed by modern urban themes. Both had a popularity that would never lose the market. Modern criminal investigation Qiao Qiao suddenly suspected Shao Jingmos judgment. Perhaps financial and stock markets were his forte, and he actually wasnt that accurate in the film and television industry? Shao Jingmo said, dont know much about metaphysics, and I wont use gossip to calculate the fate of this drama in advance. Im just analyzing the possibility that this drama might become popular with data based on the production team you provided. As for whether it will really become popular in the end, it still depends on fate. Just based on what you said, Ill bet on one. Qiao Qiao was full of fighting spirit. Eleven months later, the modern criminal investigation drama that Qiao Qiao invested 100 million yuan in was successfully aired. During the promotion period before the broadcast, Qiao Qiao was quite nervous. She recalled that she had even been to the production team during the filming. The production team was filled with veteran actors, making her scalp tingle. In any case, as long as she stayed on set, she was especially confident that this drama would become popular. But as soon as she left the set, she couldnt help wondering if the show would flop. Fortunately, the viewership ratings during the premiere were alright and the popularity was not bad. The production team and other investors had contacted Qiao Qiao and asked her if she wanted to buy a trending topic to increase the popularity. Qiao Qiao wanted to see the real results, so she didnt let her buy the trending searches. And the results of this drama did not disappoint Qiao Qiao. During the broadcast, the popularity increased greatly every day, almost breaking through a qualitative leap. The popularity of the premiere video website had already soared to the third place in the entire video popularity. With such high results in front of her, it was too dazzling. Qiao Qiao almost couldnt believe that this drama would be so popular that everyone would watch it. To celebrate the success of this investment, Qiao Qiao prepared many sumptuous ingredients in advance and invited Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou to her house. Shao Jingmo knew that there were guests tonight, so he came back from the company early. He had just arrived home when he came in from the entryway and saw a man in a white sweater sitting on the sofa in the living room. Hearing the voice, Pei Jingzhou turned to look at Shao Jingmo and smiled. Mr. Shao, how have you been? When Shao Jingmo saw Pei Jingzhou, he recognized him at first glance. He walked over and said, Thank you for your concern. Pei Jingzhou smiled. He had come with Li Xiwu half an hour before Shao Jingmo returned. Li Xiwu went into the kitchen to prepare dinner with Qiao Qiao. Pei Jingzhous culinary skills were alright for making his own dishes, but it wasnt that presentable and couldnt help the kitchen much. He sat in the living room and flipped through books to pass the time. At this moment, Qiao Qiao and Li Xiwu were busy in the kitchen. The two of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was warm. Shao Jingmo went to the kitchen door to take a look first to let Qiao Qiao know that he was back. However, Qiao Qiao, who was busy at this moment, did not see the tall figure standing at the kitchen door. It was Li Xiwu who noticed first. She greeted politely, Mr. Shao. Shao Jingmo nodded politely. When Qiao Qiao heard the voice, she turned around and saw Shao Jingmo standing at the kitchen door. She smiled. Little Uncle, go entertain President Pei. Xiwu and I will take care of the kitchen. The dinner will start soon. Shao Jingmo smiled gently and replied, Okay. He turned around and went to the cabinet at the bar. After opening the drawer, he turned to ask Pei Jingzhou, who was sitting on the sofa, What tea does President Pei prefer? Pei Jingzhou said, Cinnamon. Just a moment. Shao Jingmo took a jar of Tiger Roar Rock Cinnamon from the drawer. A moment later, Pei Jingzhou picked up the tea that Shao Jingmo had personally brewed. He looked happy. After tasting it, he praised the taste of cinnamon. Shao Jingmo asked, Mr. Pei, do you prefer cinnamon? Pei Jingzhou said, My wife likes it, so do 1. Shao Jingmo smiled faintly and asked, Where are your two children? Why didnt you bring them over? l picked them up from school and went to their grandmothers house. My wife and I plan to return to the small courtyard tonight, so we wont bring them along. Pei Jingzhou said slowly and put down his teacup. Shao Jingmo filled Pei Jingzhous teacup with tea. EA world of two is great.. Chapter 644 - Chapter 644: The World of Three (2) Chapter 644: The World of Three (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jingzhou said meaningfully, A world with more people might be more lively. Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. Not necessarily. Didnt Mr. Pei send the children to the old man just to have some alone time with your wife? Pei Jingzhou raised his eyes and smiled. It depends on how one understands it. Shao Jingmo smiled without saying anything. At the kitchen door, Qiao Qiao poked her head out and said to Li xmru, They get along very well. Li Xiwu, who was washing the vegetables, couldnt help but laugh. Are you worried that they will fight? Hey, Bae, dont say that. If they fight, do you think President Pei or Little Uncle will win? Curiosity suddenly rose in her heart. Li Xiwu smiled. You want the truth? Qiao Qiao immediately raised her hand and gestured. Let me make it clear first. You cant give me face on purpose. Im really not giving you face. Li Xiwu drained all the vegetables, picked up the corner of her apron, and wiped her hands. If they really fight, its indeed your man who would win. Fourth Brother was injured because of me in Country T a few years ago, so his body has actually not recovered much. Qiao Qiao looked at Li Xiwu worriedly. If President Pei is not in good health, will your relationship be harmonious? Li Xiwu was stunned at first, then she chuckled. Qiaoer, should I say that you have a lot of trash in your head? Qiao Qiao said in all seriousness, As the saying goes, a parents love for their son is far-reaching. If it were you and me, this sentence would have the same meaning. Li Xiwu gently pushed Qiao Qiaos shoulder. Whos the parent and whos the beloved son? Youre taking advantage of me so well. Of course. Qiao Qiao was modest at all. Tonight, Qiao Qiao was in charge of the kitchen. Li Xiwu was in charge of helping out, such as washing the vegetables, peeling the garlic, and cutting the vegetables. Qiao Qiao had prepared most of them before Li Xiwu came, The two of them chatted about the modern criminal investigation drama that Qiao Qiao had invested in this time and how much more popular it would probably become in the future. In fact, Qiao Qiaos heart had already been refreshed countless times by the results of this drama. She would receive good news every day. In Li Xiwus analysis, With such a theme and team, coupled with such results, I dare say that there wont be another similar theme in the next two years. These words hit Qiao Qiaos heart. This is happier than me acting in it myself. You should be happy. Li Xiwu said truthfully, The industry is now talking about the success of this drama. The script is well written, the cast is well chosen, and the production is very diligent. In addition to your huge investment, this drama has more resources to choose their spots. Now, be it directors, actors, investors, sponsors, or video websites, its all a win-win situation. Li Xiwus words were not exaggerated at all. The success of this drama had indeed caused a huge storm in the industry. Qiao Qiao shrugged and giggled. Bae, if you continue to flatter me like this, Im going to be smug. Li Xiwu supported herself with one hand on the stove and looked up at Qiao Qiao with a smile. l dont usually agree with being high-profile, but this time, you should be smug. Qiao Qiao laughed out loud. But as she laughed, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. At first, she didnt think much of it, thinking that she was laughing too hard to control her breath. However, when she scooped up the braised pig trotters in the pot, the feeling that something was wrong rushed to her heart. Qiao Qiao remained in the position of holding the tray and didnt move. Li Xiwu realized that something was wrong and came over to ask, Did you forget to put something in? Qiao Qiao slowly turned to look at Li Xiwu. She didnt say a word, but she looked a little uncomfortable. Li Xiwus heart skipped a beat. She hurried forward to help her catch the plate and put it aside. She held Qiao Qiao. Not feeling well? Is it your heart or something? Ugh Qiao Qiao covered her mouth. Li Xiwu: Qiao Qiao waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. However, the next second, she couldnt help but retch uncontrollably beside the kitchen trash can. She wasnt retching loudly. Coupled with the fact that the living room was a distance from the kitchen, Shao Jingmo didnt hear her. Li Xiwu quickly squatted down and patted Qiao Qiaos back gently with her palm to calm her down. Did you taste the uncooked spring bamboo shoots just now? No. As soon as she said no, the wave of nausea washed over her. Qiao Qiao couldnt suppress this nausea no matter what. It was as if her stomach was churning and the nausea was very strong.. Chapter 645 - Chapter 645: The World of Three (3) Chapter 645: The World of Three (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although Li Xiwu had been through this before, the only experience she had was many years ago. For a moment, she didnt think in that direction. She only thought that Qiao Qiao suddenly had an upset stomach. Li Xiwu helped Qiao Qiao up. Lets go to the hospital first. Qiao Qiao nodded and stood up with Li Xiwus help. She knew that it was better to go to the hospital to take a look at this situation. Although she had not tried the undercooked spring bamboo shoots, she suddenly felt so nauseous. It was possible that her stomach had really suffered some damage. However, when she was helped up by Li Xiwu, the nausea instantly disappeared. Qiao Qiao pressed on her chest. She didnt feel anything and pressed again. After the nausea disappeared, she was no different from before. In order to confirm, she even jumped on the spot twice. Li Xiwu was stunned. What are you doing? Qiao Qiao chuckled. 1 1 m fine. Li Xiwu was skeptical. Are you sure? Im really fine. Qiao Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. She felt much better. l dont know what happened just now. I suddenly felt my stomach churn. I felt nauseous and retched. I wanted to vomit, but I couldnt. Now, its like nothing happened. Li Xiwu gradually fell into deep thought. After Qiao Qiao felt better, she didnt want to go to the hospital again. She turned around and continued to fiddle with the stove. We have to start eating quickly, or itll be too late. The color of the braised pork trotters was very beautiful. With the braised juice, the smooth and tender pork trotters, it looked very tasty and soft, making people have an appetite. However, Qiao Qiao felt that she had no appetite at this moment. Although she didnt feel that nausea, she didnt really want to eat it. Qiao Qiao frowned bitterly. She scooped all the braised pork trotters onto a plate and continued to prepare the next dish. Li Xiwu, who was standing at the side, was deep in thought. The possibility that she had not thought of at first was already growing in her mind. Li Xiwu felt that it was very likely when compared to Qiao Qiaos situation. But she wasnt in a hurry to say it. She would mention it to Qiao Qiao after dinner. The dishes tonight were especially sumptuous. The atmosphere in the dining room was also especially good. Shao Jingmo brought out red wine. Before the meal, the four of them stood up to congratulate and celebrate Qiao Qiaos huge profit from this investment drama. When they returned at night, Li Xiwu drove as Pei Jingzhou and Shao Jingmo drank some. During this period, Qiao Qiao wanted to drink more, but she was stopped by Li Xiwu. After the meal, Pei Jingzhou and Shao Jingmo sat and chatted for a while before starting to clear the dishes. Li Xiwu took advantage of this moment to pull Qiao Qiao to the terrace. Seeing that Li Xiwu was nervous, Qiao Qiao became nervous too. Whats wrong? Why are you suddenly so serious? Li Xiwu was indeed very serious. She asked Qiao Qiao, How long has it been since your period? Qiao Qiao thought about it seriously. About ten days late. After saying that, she was stunned at first. She looked at Li Xiwu in disbelief. Li Xiwu nodded. Thats possible. Qiao Qiaos expression froze. 1 hurt my body when I fell into the sea. It wasnt easy to conceive. Ive been letting nature take its course for the past few years. He was never anxious, and I didnt plan this. Now Li Xiwu took Qiao Qiaos hand and shook it comfortingly. Perhaps fate had not reached at that time, but now its fate, so Li Xiwus gaze landed on Qiao Qiaos stomach. The little guy has already chosen you. Qiao Qiao felt a lump in her throat. Seeing this, Li Xiwu quickly said the important thing first. Dont have too much hope. Look, I also took the opportunity to pull you outside after dinner. Im afraid I talked too early. Everyone will be happy too soon. If its a mistake, well still be very disappointed. l understand. Qiao Qiao nodded. Ill go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. Li Xiwu said, Ill accompany you. Qiao Qiao didnt mention a word to Shao Jingmo about what happened tonight. Although Shao Jingmo never mentioned children and she had never cared, if she really had a child, he would definitely look forward to it, right? She was afraid that this anticipation would come to nothing. Therefore, she did not tell Shao Jingmo. She asked Li Xiwu to accompany her to the hospital for a checkup first. If she was really pregnant, she would definitely come back without stopping to tell him. If it was really a mistake, she would pretend that nothing had happened. After making up her mind, Qiao Qiao went out the next day as usual. She said that she had asked Li Xiwu out to play cards with her, but in fact, she slipped to the hospital accompanied by Li Xiwu. Shao Jingmo had never asked about Qiao Qiaos daily arrangements. Especially when Qiao Qiao went to play with Li Xiwu, he wouldnt ask. He would only ask her if she had eaten on time at mealtime and come to fetch her home at night, so he wouldnt think much about it this time. The entire day passed peacefully. At night, Shao Jingmo returned early. Seeing Qiao Qiao sitting on the sofa with a pile of barbecue in front of her and a big bag of snacks, Shao Jingmo was surprised. He walked over and asked, Why did you buy so many snacks and barbecue? Qiao Qiao had a starch sausage in her hand. She raised her face and chuckled. l want to eat it. Shao Jingmo did not stop her. He sat down beside her and tidied up the messy barbecue and snacks in front of him. You can eat if you want, but dont eat too much. Barbecue and the like are easy to cause enteritis. Also, you wont be able to sleep at night if you eat too much. Qiao Qiao bit her lip and smiled. Shao Jingmo noticed that something was wrong with her and asked, What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy? Im happy because Im in a good mood. Qiao Qiao added, Im eating more barbecue now because I have to eat less for the next nine months. Shao Jingmo frowned slightly. What? Qiao Qiao put down the starch sausage and handed the pregnancy test report beside her to Shao Jingmo. Youve leveled up. Shao Jingmos expression froze, but he did not reach out to take it. Qiao Qiao leaned closer and asked, Isnt it a little scary? No, let me take my take. With that, Shao Jingmo really took two to three minutes to take the pregnancy test report from Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao realized that Shao Jingmos hand was trembling. He had always been calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but at this moment, not only were his hands trembling slightly because of this pregnancy test report, but his eyes were also red. Before Qiao Qiao could calm him down, she was suddenly pulled into his arms. Qiao Qiao patted his back gently. Congratulations, Little Uncle. His hoarse and choked voice sounded in her ears. Congratulations, Qiao Guigui.. Chapter 646 - Chapter 646: He Wanted to Accompany Her Chapter 646: He Wanted to Accompany Her Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao had not carefully calculated how many days she had stayed in this godforsaken base. Five days? Ten days? Or twenty? She wasnt sure. In any case, it had not been more than a month. Currently, her vocal cords had recovered and she could speak as normally as before, but she had been pretending and acting. At first, she would not be able to grasp her acting skills well, especially when she was anxious. She almost spoke. Now that she was used to being mute, she had even learned some sign language for daily communication. However, not many people could understand it except for Wei Yu. Especially Ji He, the assistant of Wei Yu. It was difficult to communicate with him. Half an hour later, Pei Jiao would be accompanied by Ji He to find a persimmon tree. She heard that it was the only fruit tree in the base. It was nurtured by Wen Qiong in her early years. It was very good-looking. This was the fourth year of persimmons. The people in the base were very busy. No one would come to pick persimmons. The persimmons on the branches were already ripe in this season. There was no need to put them back after picking them. They could be eaten after washing. Wei Yu had told Pei Jiao about the existence of the persimmon tree because she was too bored. When Pei Jiao heard this, her eyes widened. In the end, before she could be happy for more than three seconds, she heard Wei Yu remind her, Since I told you, you can go, but you have to be accompanied by Ji He. Pei Jiao: (7 _ D Wei Yu wanted to ignore Pei Jiaos expression, but after taking a look, even if he turned his face away, her lively expression would always appear in his mind. He turned to look at her. Also, youre not allowed to go up the tree yourself. Let Ji He pluck as much as you want. Pei Jiao pursed her lips. Wei Yu reminded her, Attitude. Pei Jiao restrained her attitude and nodded obediently in front of Wei Yu. Wei Yu had a complicated expression. When he faced Pei Jiao, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was very strange, but he did not think much of it. He thought that it was just a precaution against an outsider like her. Pei Jiao gestured and asked, Are you going to work? The two of them had always lived separately. As for why Wei Yu was with her so early in the morning, it was because he had come back to get the information and brought her breakfast. This way, Pei Jiao wouldnt have to make another trip to the canteen. Wei Yu understood her gesture and nodded. Recently, the base has lost something important. Im at my busiest time. I cant accompany you and watch you all the time. Pei Jiaos expression turned strange. Had she misheard something just now? He said accompany her?? Seeing Wei Yus expressionless face, Pei Jiao was certain that she had misheard. Wei Yu picked up the information. Before he left, he said to Pei Jiao, Youd better be good and not run around. Ill bring you dinner tonight. Pei Jiao gestured twice. Would it be too much trouble? Wei Yu shook his head. No, I have to eat too. Pei Jiao was surprised. Are we eating together? Wei Yu pursed his lips and replied coldly, Its not that I want to eat with you, but the bases investigation has become more and more strict recently. I have to watch over you to prevent you from being caught by mistake when youre not under my watch. It doesnt feel good to be locked up and completely restrict your freedom. I hope you understand. Pei Jiao pursed her lips and nodded. Her impatient expression seemed to say, I do, I do, I do, I do! Wei Yu sneered and nodded in the direction behind Pei Jiao. Breakfast is getting cold. Eat as soon as possible. Pei Jiao ignored him and turned to go in, leaving him alone. Wei Yu didnt care if she ignored him. He took the documents and left first. After Wei Yu left, Pei Jiao quickly finished her breakfast and waited patiently for Ji He to pick her up. Half an hour later, Ji He arrived on time. He stretched and said, Im clearly here to take care of Young Masters food and daily life. Now, Ive been sent to be your mother. Pei Jiao was especially unhappy with Ji Hes tone. She gestured: Im going to report you! However, Ji He could not understand Pei Jiaos gesture at all. After a while, he asked hesitantly, You want to hit me? It seemed that he could achieve one thing. However, there was a huge difference in strength between men and women. Even if Pei Jiao wanted to beat Ji He up, she could not express it in front of him. For the sake of that persimmon tree, she quickly smiled ingratiatingly at Ji He. Thats more like it. Girls should be gentle and likable. With that, Ji He waved his hand. Follow me. Pei Jiao raised her eyebrows and immediately followed. When she got there, she understood why she had almost explored the entire base and had never seen the persimmon tree. It turned out that the persimmon tree was at the border between the base and the outside world. No wonder Wei Yu said that she had to be accompanied by Ji He to pick persimmons. Ji He moved swiftly and quickly climbed up the tree. Pei Jiao raised her head and raised her hands, gesturing at Ji He. This time, Ji He understood two gestures. You want to eat? You want to eat a big one? Alright, alright, I understand. Ill find you a big persimmon. Stand further away. Be careful not to let the ripe persimmon fall on your head. As soon as he finished speaking, a ripe persimmon landed on Ji Hes head and hit his face. When Pei Jiao saw Ji Hes comical expression, she almost couldnt help but laugh. Fortunately, she stopped herself in time. She pressed her lips together and stifled a laugh. She gestured twice, worried. Its fine, its fine. Ji He had no choice but to get down from the tree. Its a little unfavorable at the start. Ill go wipe it off. Wait for me. Pei Jiao nodded. While Ji He was wiping his face, Pei Jiao climbed up the tree herself. Her movements were even more agile than Ji Hes. She picked three persimmons in one go and put them in her pocket. Why are you up the tree? Wei Yus voice came from under the persimmon tree. Pei Jiao thought that she was hallucinating and thought that Wei Yu was busy at this moment. When she looked down, she realized that it was really Wei Yu. He was standing tall under the tree in his white work clothes. He was looking up at her from the tree. Pei Jiao felt a little guilty. She was used to expressing it with gestures, but she had forgotten her current situation. When she raised her hand to gesture, she lost her balance and almost fell from the tree. The moment she teetered, Wei Yus expression changed. He instinctively raised both hands and tried to catch her. Fortunately, Qiao Qiao did not fall, and Wei Yu missed. Pei Jiao smiled awkwardly, but there was no smile on Wei Yus face. His expression was extremely cold as he said angrily, Did I remind you not to go up the tree? His tone was heavy, with a roar. Pei Jiao was stunned and looked at him in a daze. Wei Yu quickly realized that his tone was a little harsh. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his expression softened. He approached the tree trunk and reached out to Qiao Qiao. Come down first. Ill help you. Pei Jiao shook her head. No. Wei Yu repeated, Come down. Pei Jiao still shook her head. No. Wei Yus expression turned cold again. Are you coming down? Pei Jiao was not afraid at all, especially the more Wei Yu threatened her, the more obvious her rebellious bones became. She shook her head and said, I wont! Wei Yu was clearly angry. Do you have to anger me? Pei Jiao turned her head away from him and raised her hand to fiddle with the persimmon that had fallen in front of her. Realizing that it was not completely ripe, she did not pick it. Seeing that Pei Jiao completely ignored his words, Wei Yu was so angry that he was about to go up the tree. Pei Jiao immediately moved to prevent Wei Yu from grabbing her foot. However, this move caused her to miss and fall backward. AhI She let out an instinctive scream. Fortunately, Wei Yu was fast enough to catch Pei Jiao when she fell. Although the impact was not strong, it was enough for Pei Jiao to press Wei Yu down. Theres no beautiful kiss, Pei Jiaos front teeth hit Wei Yus front teeth. She was in so much pain that her entire face was in a mess. Wei Yu was not any better. Get! Up! Pei Jiao lay on the ground and did not move. She covered her mouth. Boohoo, it hurts Wei Yu suddenly realized. You can speak now? Pei Jiao was stunned. It was over.. Chapter 647 - Chapter 647: It’s Her Who’s Sweet (1) Chapter 647: Its Her Whos Sweet (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao silently got up from Wei Yu. In this situation, no matter what, it was better to run first! Ignoring the pain in her teeth, she stopped patting the grass off her body and turned to leave. But before she could take two steps, she was grabbed by the back of her collar by a hand coming from behind. Then, Wei Yu t s cold voice asked her from behind, Where are you going? Pei Jiao gritted her teeth. She had been careless. After pretending for so long, she was used to being mute. Why had she exposed herself today? Pei Jiao shrank her neck, indicating for Wei Yu to let go first. But now Wei Yu didnt believe her. He grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her back. His strength caught her off guard. She fell back and leaned into his arms. Pei Jiao froze and even stopped breathing for dozens of seconds. After a long while, she slowly turned her head. Meeting Wei Yus almost burning eyes, her scalp tingled and a lump formed in her throat. Wei Yu finally let go, but he did not move away. He pressed her shoulder and turned her to face him. Pei Jiao laughed awkwardly and began to gesture. Because she was too guilty, her gestures were messy, making it impossible to tell what she was gesturing about. Wei Yu lost his patience. Speak. Pei Jiao swallowed and said slowly, l think I suddenly recovered. Wei Yu let out a mocking smile. Suddenly recovered? Pei Jiao nodded. Wei Yu specially described it. Your vocal cords, which have been out of tune for a long time, suddenly recovered from the shock? Pei Jiao nodded again. You really have to hold out hope until you are faced with the grim reality. Wei Yu grabbed Pei Jiaos wrist, his eyes cold and threatening. Since youre unwilling to tell the truth, Ill lock you up first. When youre honest, youll answer. When Pei Jiao heard that Wei Yu wanted to lock her up, she immediately exploded. She struggled and tried to shake off Wei Yus hand. What right do you have to lock me up? Im not your prisoner. Besides, I didnt do anything bad. At this moment, Ji He, who had finished washing his face, returned. He scooped up a handful of water from the nearby rockery pool to wash his face. When he returned, he saw his young master standing with the little mute. At first glance, the two of them looked like a young couple holding hands. However, when Ji He took a closer look, he realized that Young Masters expression was very bad, and that little mute did not seem to know her place. He ran over. Young Master, Young Master! Wei Yu turned to look at Ji He and said in a cold voice, Did I tell you to keep an eye on her outside? Ji Hes hair stood on end. Without explaining, he lowered his head. Young Master, its my fault. Pei Jiao felt the need to explain to Ji He. He went to wash his face because he was hit by a persimmon. Why are you so fierce? 1 wont run. Eh? Little Mute, you can speak? Ji He was very surprised. Pei Jiao avoided his gaze, Just now 1 suddenly could speak. Ha- I Wei Yu smirked and pulled Pei Jiao in front of him. The two of them were extremely close. Pei Jiao sensed danger and moved her head back, staring at him warily. Wei Yus eyes were as cold as before. You still have the mood to intercede for others. Do you know what kind of situation youre in now? Pei Jiao straightened her neck. Its nothing more than being detained here and not being free. Wei Yu had no choice but to remind Pei Jiao, The base lost something very important, and you happened to be picked up by me, Coincidentally, you couldnt speak because your vocal cords were damaged. Even when your vocal cords were healed, you continued to pretend to be mute. Without batting an eyelid, you were cleared of all suspicion. Look, is this reason enough to lock you up for interrogation? Pei Jiao felt a chill run down her spine. Previously, she did not think that Wei Yu was scary because he had always been very cold in front of her and ignored her. But at this moment, for the first time, Pei Jiao felt the danger coming from Wei Yue He didnt seem to be just saying it, but he really could do what he said. As long as there was life, there was hope. Pei Jiao was afraid that if she was really locked up, everything would be exposed. Hence, she immediately admitted defeat and said pitifully, l was wrong. Wei Yu probably did not expect her to admit her mistake so quickly. He could not help but be stunned when he heard these three words. Not only Wei Yu, but Ji He was also stunned. This little mute was like a small steel cannon all day long and looked fearless. Now, she was actually frightened by Young Master. However, not many people dared to provoke Young Masters dignity.. Chapter 648 - Chapter 648: It’s Her Who’s Sweet (2) Chapter 648: Its Her Whos Sweet (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In any case, those who had provoked him had a tragic outcome. Pei Jiao observed Wei Yus reaction and saw that his face was tense. Although he did not say anything, his aura was still very fierce. She whispered, Can you forgive me? I wont do it again. Wei Yu let go of her and took half a step back, putting distance between them. Speak properly. Pei Jiao frowned and said in a low voice, Im talking nicely. Wei Yu glanced at her. When can you speak? Pei Jiao stammered, A-a few days. Wei Yu did not intend to let her brush it off. He continued to ask, How long are a few days? Pei Jiao bit her lower lip and looked at him awkwardly. Such a gaze was too innocent. In addition, Pei Jiao had an extremely beautiful face, and her eyes were clear and filled with innocence. Once she gave in and pretended to be obedient, just a look from her could easily make people want to protect her. Wei Yus breathing became a little chaotic. He quickly turned his face away from him. Go back with Ji He first. Ill come back to interrogate you tonight when Im done. With that, Wei Yu looked at Ji He and reminded him word by word, Look after her. Ji He quickly nodded. Young Master, Ill definitely take good care of her. He quickly came forward and tugged at Pei Jiaos sleeve. Lets go back first. Some bad luck cant be touched. Wei Yu lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on the action of Ji He pulling Pei Jiaos sleeve. Ji He sensed a cold gaze piercing over. When he saw that it was Young Master looking at him, he immediately retracted his hand. At first, Ji He thought it was his imagination, but the young master looked away after realizing that he had retracted his hand. Whats going on? Why was he suddenly so scary? Pei Jiao did not leave. She was holding back her anger and felt very uncomfortable, but she could only hold it in. She took a deep breath and composed herself. Before she left, she took out a persimmon from her pocket. Seeing that it had been crushed a little, she changed to another persimmon to make sure it was not crushed. Then, she handed it to Wei Yue Here you go. Wei Yu glanced at her with an inexplicable gaze. Pei Jiao said, This is a persimmon I picked on the tree just now. Ill give you one. Wei Yu did not reach out his hand. He was extremely cold and looked like he could not be curried favor. Pei Jiao gritted her teeth and forced it on him. Its for you. After stuffing the persimmons into Wei Yu t s hands, Pei Jiao turned around and left. She walked especially quickly, and Ji He could only jog to keep up with her. Wei Yu stared at Pei Jiaos departing figure for a long time. He didnt look away until he couldnt see her. He looked down at the persimmon in his hand and quickly fell into deep thought again. At night, Wen Qiong came to see Pei Jiao. The moment she entered, she asked worriedly, l heard that Wei Yu scolded you this morning? Pei Jiao sat cross-legged on the sofa and handed Wen Qiong a washed apple. Who did you hear that from? Ah, you really could speak. Wen Qiong had come to confirm if Pei Jiao could really speak. Now that she was sure, she was very happy. After knowing you for so long, I finally hear your voice. With that, Wen Qiong put the apple back. l heard it from Ji He. Pei Jiao did not say anything and silently bit the apple in her hand. Wen Qiong suddenly leaned closer to Pei Jiao and asked her gently, You can speak now. Can you tell me your name? Pei Jiao turned to look at Wen Qiong. After looking at each other for a moment, she said, Fei Yi. Fei Yi? What a nice name. Wen Qiong was very happy that Pei Jiao was willing to tell her her name. However, she asked again, Is your surname Fei? Pei Jiao repeated, Fei Yi. Wen Qiong said, Its rare to see a surname like Fei. This surname plus the name after it is Fei Yi. Yes, its the best name Ive ever heard. Pei Jiao felt a little guilty and did not dare to look into Wen Qiongs eyes. She laughed dryly. My mother gave it to me. Wen Qiong praised, Your mother is good at naming. Pei Jiao said, Perhaps. Knock knock knock C There was a knock on the door and Wen Qiong immediately stood up. Wei Yu should be back. Hes not far behind me. Pei Jiao was about to get up and open the door when Wen Qiong placed her hand on her shoulder. Sit down. Ill open it. Pei Jiao nodded. Wen Qiong went over and opened the door. Seeing that Wei Yu was holding a lunch box, she asked, Did you bring dinner for Fei Yi? Wei Yu glanced around the room casually and then looked at Wen Qiong. Fei Yi? Wen Qiong smiled and said, Her name. Wei Yus lips twitched. That surname is rare. Its as rare as your surname, Wen Qiong said. The surname Wei was one in a hundred thousand people. Fei was the same. They were all rare surnames. After Wei Yu entered, Wen Qiong closed the door and walked in. Look, even your surnames are so compatible. Wei Yus gaze landed on Pei Jiao. At that moment, she was looking up at him as he entered. He did not restrain his voice, as if he was deliberately saying it for Pei Jiao to hear. Its not whatever she says. Perhaps these two words are fake. Pei Jiao heard Wei Yus words. She knew it was aimed at her, but she wasnt angry. She said, Thats my name. If its fake, I will be hit by a car when I go out. Wei Yus expression turned ugly. Dont you know that such words are unlucky? l know. Pei Jiao threw the apple core into the trash can. Its precisely because I know that I dare to swear a poisonous oath. Otherwise, how could you believe me? Wei Yu placed the lunch box on the coffee table and looked down at her. Its my business whether I believe it or not. Pei Jiao said, Then its my business whether I get hit by a car when I go out. Shut up. Wei Yu was displeased and scolded her angrily. Dont say such unlucky words again. Pei Jiao puffed out her cheeks. You even have to control my words. Wen Qiong was very embarrassed at the side. It seemed that Wei Yu had no intention of leaving immediately. Wen Qiong could only leave first to avoid it being inappropriate to stay here. Before she left, she said to Pei Jiao, Hurry up and eat. Ill go back first. Pei Jiao nodded. Oh. After Wen Qiong left, she did not forget to close the door considerately. Only Pei Jiao and Wei Yu were left in the room. One stood and the other sat. One was domineering, and the other was casual. Pei Jiao was the first to break the silence. l ate an apple just now. 1 cant eat that meal anymore. Wei Yu didnt care if she wanted to eat or not. He only asked her, Is your name really Fei Yi? Yes. Pei Jiao nodded. Wei Yu stared at her for a few seconds. The food is hot. Its up to you to eat or not. With that, he turned and left. Pei Jiao stopped him. Hey Wei Yu stopped in his tracks and asked sideways, What else? Pei Jiao bit her lip and asked softly, Didnt you say that you would come back and eat with me tonight? Wei Yu: Ive eaten. Pei Jiao added, You even said that you would interrogate me tonight. Wei Yu said, Well talk about it tomorrow. He was about to leave when Pei Jiao stopped him again and asked, Is that persimmon sweet? Wei Yu closed his eyes and finally replied with one word: Sweet.. Chapter 649 - Chapter 649: Thinking They’re Dating (1) Chapter 649: Thinking Theyre Dating (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although Wei Yu said that he wanted to interrogate Pei Jiao, the next day, the third day, and the fourth day passed. He did not appear in front of Pei Jiao, let alone interrogate her. Pei Jiao understood that Wei Yu had been very busy these past few days. He was so busy that she could not even see his shadow from morning to night. Fortunately, she was not grounded. She could enter and leave freely within the restricted area as before. At four in the afternoon, Pei Jiao strolled to the side of the building. Because there were guards everywhere, she was very obedient and did not look around. Before she could approach, a guard came over and asked her, Who are you looking for? Pei Jiao stood very straight and replied, Im looking for Wei Yu. The police officer remembered Pei Jiao, so when Pei Jiao said that she was looking for Wei Yu, he did not question her intentions. He only said, The rules here state that outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please wait here. Ill go pass the message. Pei Jiao nodded. Thank you. The guard turned and entered a series of numbers on the electronic screen outside the building. After waiting for the connection, the guard explained the situation. Pei Jiao was too far away to hear or see who appeared on the electronic screen. She only stood there and waited patiently. She waited for about two minutes. The electronic screen went out. The guard walked over to her and said, Dr. Wei has instructions. Please follow me. Pei Jiao was quite surprised. She had thought that Wei Yu would ignore her. After all, he had been in hiding for so many days. She said nothing and obediently followed the guard inside. This was a high-tech building. It was strictly guarded. There were alarms and infrared lights everywhere, and surveillance cameras everywhere. It was difficult to enter and difficult to leave. The guard led Pei Jiao to a place with a lot of delicious food. In addition to the delicious food, there were also rows of massage chairs and an audio-visual room for watching movies. It was very high-class. Pei Jiao was puzzled. She asked the guard, Where is this? The guard said, A place that helps to relieve stress and rest. Pei Jiao understood that this was actually a place for employees to rest. Many large foreign companies had them. The size of the facility depended on the size of the company. Clearly, this was a very high-level resting place. Those desserts, frozen desserts, juice, fruit scoop, and so on were all separate and looked very exquisite. Pei Jiao had been in the base for so long, but she had never known that there was such a godly place here. This was her first time here today. The guard went to the side and entered the password on the screen. A card popped out. The guard walked over with the card and handed it to Pei Jiao. This is Dr. Weis card. With this card, you can buy everything here. Pei Jiao took the card. Wheres Wei Yu? The guard explained, Dr. Wei only instructed me to bring you in and give you his card. I dont know the rest. You can wait here. Pei Jiao nodded. Alright, I understand. Pei Jiao did not stand on ceremony. After the guard left, she took Wei Yus card and went to order something delicious. There were more than a hundred types of desserts and more than 50 types of fruits. Pei Jiao was dazzled and could not choose at all. She ordered a lot. There would be a waiter here to deliver the food she had ordered to her designated location. Pei Jiao had just finished swiping her card when she heard a question from behind. Can you finish the food you ordered? Pei Jiao turned to look at the person talking to her behind her. It was a thin and tall man with a fair and clean face. His facial features were Pei Jiaos aesthetic point, and he was a cold handsome man. However, the man in front of her was very unfamiliar to Pei Jiao. She had never seen him in all her time at the base. However, he was wearing the same white work clothes as Wei Yu. He should be from the laboratory. Who wouldnt be tempted by a handsome man for a second? Pei Jiao smiled shyly. Hello. Ji Qingzhou was dazed for two to three seconds by the smile on Pei Jiaos face. You are? l Pei Jiao hesitated to tell the other party. Ji Qingzhou suddenly guessed. You look unfamiliar. Im guessing youre the girl Wei Yu picked up from outside, right? Having been guessed, Pei Jiao nodded frankly. Its me. l actually guessed right. Ji Qingzhous gaze landed on the card in her hand. This is Wei Yu t s card. Hes very good to you. Hehe, so-so. Pei Jiao turned and walked towards the massage chair. Ji Qingzhou had been cooped up in the base for too long. It was rare to see an unfamiliar face, so he was very interested in Pei Jiao.. Chapter 650 - Chapter 650: Thinking They’re Dating (2) Chapter 650: Thinking Theyre Dating (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He followed Pei Jiao and walked beside her. l heard that you couldnt speak when Wei Yu picked you up. Pei Jiao said, My vocal cords were damaged. Im fine now. Ji Qingzhou asked, When did you recover? Pei Jiao said, Recently. Ji Qingzhou said, l heard that you couldnt contact your family because you couldnt speak previously. Have you contacted your family now? Pei Jiao suddenly stopped and turned to look at the man following her. havent seen you in the base for almost a month, but youre very familiar with me. Are you paying attention to me? l didnt deliberately pay attention, Ji Qingzhou explained. l heard Wen Qiong mention you. I can tell that Wen Qiong likes you very much because she always mentions you in the laboratory. Its Wen Qiong That was nothing. Pei Jiao did not say anything else. She went to the massage chair and chose a seat to sit down. Then, she swiped Wei Yus card, closed her eyes, and began the massage. The waiter pushed the food Pei Jiao had ordered over in the dining car. Ji Qingzhou said to the waiter, Shes not familiar with this place. Watch out for her needs at all times and try to let her rest here happily. The waiter nodded. Okay, Dr. Jit Ji Qingzhou said, Mm. After the waiter left, Pei Jiao suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Ji Qingzhou. Ji Qingzhou received Pei Jiaos gaze and smiled slightly. Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ji Qingzhou, and Im Wei Yu t s colleague. Dr. Ji, Pei Jiao shouted. Ji Qingzhou raised an eyebrow. What do you want to ask? Pei Jiao was originally lying down, but now she sat up. She pointed at the massage chair beside her. Dr. Ji, sit. Just now, Pei Jiao did not want to bother with Ji Qingzhou. Ji Qingzhou could tell, so he did not try to disturb her again and only instructed the service staff. But at this moment, Ji Qingzhou could clearly feel that her goodwill was because of his identity. Ji Qingzhou sat down beside her. If its a question that can be answered, Ill tell you everything I know. Im sorry if it involves the base. Pei Jiao felt a lump in her throat. Ji Qingzhou saw her hesitation. Whats wrong? Pei Jiao probed, l want to ask, what exactly is the thing missing from the base? The topic has crossed the line. The smile on Ji Qingzhous face faded. Pei Jiao sighed. Then let me ask you another question. When can I leave here? You want to leave here? Ji Qingzhou asked. Pei Jiao nodded. Ji Qingzhou looked a little surprised. Actually, youve long been cleared of suspicion and can leave. Its just that you need to recover your vocal cords and apply for it yourself. After getting approval and completing the review process, you can leave. After a pause, Ji Qingzhou looked at her. You didnt apply for it after your vocal cords recovered? Pei Jiao shook her head. She didnt even know. Ji Qingzhou asked, Did you choose to stay here because of Wei Yu? How can I stay here because of him? Pei Jiaos lips twitched. Really? Ji Qingzhou was surprised. Wen Qiong said that you lived in the dormitory that Wei Yu lived in before. Wei Yu is a clean freak. I thought you were dating now? Pfft! Pei Jiao snorted. With him? We dont even talk about dogs. Ji Qingzhou: Pei Jiao was originally in a good mood and had a good appetite, but now, she had no appetite. She didnt stay long before leaving. Before leaving, Ji Qingzhou stopped her. Are you still coming tomorrow? Pei Jiao said, Well see. She went back to the accommodation building, dug out the ball of yarn from the drawer, and knitted a scarf according to the tutorial video shed seen in her memory. It didnt go well at first. But it was much better after she got used to it. If someone was beside her at this moment, they would definitely not understand why she did not enjoy the moment when she was sitting in the massage chair eating fruits and ran back to weave a scarf. She was naturally petty. Even after interacting with him for so long, she still did not want to let Wei Yu off. It wasnt humiliating to break off the engagement, but his way of doing so made her feel even more humiliated. Therefore, she had to take revenge. Now, she knew from Ji Qingzhou that as long as she applied and completed the process, she could leave this place. Before she left, she had to finish her act. Pei Jiao knitted for a long time. When she was tired, she stood up and stretched her limbs. After twilight, she went to wait outside Wei Yus door. It would be even colder at night. Her breath would be white fog. The tip of her nose was red from the cold, as if she had lost consciousness. She didnt know how long she waited, but as she waited, she fell asleep sitting in front of his door. Wei Yu came back very late. He knew that Pei Jiao had gone to look for him today and had used his card to order a lot of food. She had not eaten dinner when she returned. He asked the canteen to specially cook a plate of wontons for her. He was about to raise his hand to knock when he saw the figure sitting at his door from the corner of his eye. After seeing who it was, Wei Yu e s eyes darkened and he walked over. Fei Yi, he called out. But the sleeping person didnt react. Wei Yu squatted down and placed the wonton aside. He reached out and touched her face. It was as cold as ice and her entire body was about to freeze. Wei Yu t s expression darkened. He picked Pei Jiao up as quietly as possible and returned to her room. There was an unknitted scarf on the sofa. Wei Yu only glanced at it briefly and placed Pei Jiao on the bed first. He wrapped the blanket around her and gently rubbed her body, hands, and feet. He did this personally and meticulously. His movements seemed familiar. But in fact, Wei Yu had never done this personally before. She was the only exception. After he finished rubbing his hands together, he went back to rubbing her feet. At this moment, Pei Jiao woke up and frowned. Ouch It hurts Wei Yu paused and straightened his upper body to look at her. Where does it hurt? Pei Jiao looked at him blankly and remained silent. Wei Yu asked again, Where does it hurt? No, it doesnt hurt anymore. Pei Jiao sat up and looked at him. Wei Yu, when did you come back? Why am I in the room? I remember that I was at your The door, Wei Yu said. Pei Jiao nodded. Yes, I was waiting for you at your door. I might have accidentally fallen asleep. Fortunately, I finally saw you. Its so cold. Why are you waiting for me at my door? Whats so important that you cant wait until tomorrow? Wei Yus voice was mixed with anger. Pei Jiao lowered her head aggrievedly. I cant see you at night, let alone in the morning. I couldnt see you when I went to look for you today. I had no choice but to wait for you at your door. Wei Yu frowned. An equally strange emotion rose from the bottom of his heart. It was very subtle and indescribable.. He just asked her, You really want to see me? Chapter 651 - Chapter 651: Yes, I Like You, And I Want to See You Tomorrow (1) Chapter 651: Yes, I Like You, And I Want to See You Tomorrow (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao replied without hesitation, Yes. Why do you want to see me? Wei Yu answered his own question. Is it because I didnt lock you up and interrogate you personally? You couldnt sit still and wanted to make things difficult for me? Pei Jiao suddenly stopped. The anger in her heart surged. If she had not been restraining herself, the fire in her eyes would have burned Wei Yu to death! Although she was furious, Pei Jiao still appeared calm on the surface. l cant wait to see you because I miss you. You have the right not to see me, but you dont have to deliberately say such things to hurt me. Miss me? He was surprised by the word. Pei Jiao explained, Not that kind. I just havent seen you. I-I-I wanted to see you. Wei Yu asked casually, Thats all? Pei Jiao was about to say something when Wei Yu t s gaze landed on her finger. He frowned and asked, What happened to your hand? Pei Jiao immediately hid her hand and shook her head. Nothing. Wei Yu reminded her, Your guilt is too obvious. Pei Jiao choked. Her index finger and thumb were a little red from knitting a scarf for so long that her thumb still hurt a little. It was mainly because she hadnt knitted for too long. It would be strange if her hands werent red and painful after knitting for so long. She silently hid her hand under the blanket and drooped her head. Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and her teeth bit her lower lip tightly. Her cheeks puffed up. Wei Yus hands moved slightly at his sides. He hesitated for two seconds, took two steps forward, and slowly leaned over. He seemed to have something to say. After some thought and hesitation, he said nothing. He stood up straight again, thrust his hands into his jacket pockets, and towered over her. Eat the wonton. Rest early. With that, he turned and left. Pei Jiao immediately looked up. Seeing that he was about to leave without a word of coaxing, she could not help but be anxious. Wait! She got out of bed in a hurry. Because she got up in a hurry, her body fell off the bed before she could take her feet out of the blanket. She didnt even have time to scream before she fell to the carpet. There was a thud that seemed to be audible throughout the building. No matter how fast Wei Yu reacted, he did not have time to catch Pei Jiao this time. He watched as she fell from the bed. What are you doing? Wei Yu went forward angrily and immediately helped Pei Jiao up. Pei Jiao had really fallen badly. Fortunately, her head did not hit the ground with that thud just now. However, she was sad that her knees were kneeling on the floor. This immediately added new injuries to her knee that had yet to recover. Pei Jiaos face turned pale from the pain. At first she couldnt make a sound. Her mouth was slightly open, and she looked very much as if shed fallen into a daze. She only raised her hands, which were braced against the ground, and her knees hurt so much that she couldnt move. Wei Yu thought that he had spoken too harshly and tried to be gentle. How are you? Pei Jiao couldnt help but cry. When Wei Yu saw that she was crying, he felt more relieved. He did not ask her about the situation again. Instead, he picked her up and placed her back on the bed. At this moment, the entire room was filled with Pei Jiaos cries. That cry could be said to be heart-wrenching. Wei Yu found it ear-piercing and tried to ease her emotions. Did you hit your knee? Pei Jiao nodded while crying. Yes, knee, knee It hurts Wei Yu had never seen Pei Jiao like this before and could not help but laugh. Seeing him laugh, Pei Jiao cried even harder. Youre still laughing at me. Boohoo Sorry. The smile quickly faded from his lips. He thought that since she was crying so much, her eyes should not be able to see. Bear with it. Wei Yu grabbed the ankle she had been kneeling on just now. Then, he used both hands and gently picked it up to make her maintain the appropriate bent knee position. At this moment, Pei Jiaos cries filled the entire room. Wei Yu automatically blocked her voice in his mind and gently pulled up the hem of her pants, revealing her knees. Its red, he should have said softly. Boohoo Wei Yu looked up at her. Take your time to see if this leg can be straightened. Boohoo Pei Jiao did not do as she was told and only cried non-stop. Wei Yu was silent for half a minute before getting up to get the first aid kit. He took out a bottle of spray and decisively sprayed it on Pei Jiaos knee. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts Pei Jiao, who was about to cry, felt the pain suddenly intensify and immediately pushed Wei Yus hand away.. Chapter 652 - Chapter 652: Yes, I Like You, And I Want to See You Tomorrow (2) Chapter 652: Yes, I Like You, And I Want to See You Tomorrow (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Fortunately, Wei Yu had finished spraying. He said calmly, If you dont cooperate, I can only spray you with this. Its not a big problem. Itll be much better tomorrow. Why didnt you say so in advance? She sounded full of complaints. Wei Yu put her pants down and put the spray back in the first-aid kit. Then, he looked up at her. Would you listen if I told you? Pei Jiao nodded. Yes. Wei Yus lips twitched. Then Im sorry. I can only pay attention next time. Who wants a next time? she muttered under her breath. Im already out of luck. l didnt cause your bad luck, he said. Pei Jiao looked at him and remained silent. Wei Yu asked, Do you think I caused it? Pei Jiao shook her head. Not entirely. Oh, half my responsibility anyway, right? he asked. Pei Jiao shook her head. Forget it. I was unlucky. Wei Yu could not help but laugh. Seeing that the tears on her face were still wet, he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe them away. Pei Jiao did not move and let Wei Yu wipe her face. She looked at him obediently with her misty eyes. It was difficult for Wei Yu to ignore such pitiful and beautiful eyes. Gradually, he seemed to realize that he was doing something he shouldnt. He froze, then quickly pulled his hand away. Then he stared at his hand for a long moment. Pei Jiao took in his reaction and asked softly, Is it because Im in a sorry state now that Im ugly to you? Wei Yu realized that he was in a daze and that it was because of her. He couldnt help but laugh at himself. Finally, he answered according to his heart. Not ugly. Pei Jiao smiled. She pointed at the scarf on the sofa and begged him in a pleading tone, Can you help me get the scarf on the sofa? Wei Yu glanced sideways in the direction Pei Jiao was pointing. Then, he got up and went to get the half-done scarf from the sofa. He didnt ask anything and thought it was just her boredom. However, when she crooked her finger at him to signal him to approach, Wei Yus heart suddenly skipped a beat. He stood still, his cold eyes looking down at her. Whats wrong? Pei Jiao was very embarrassed to say, That day, I realized that you had a jacket that looked especially good, but you were missing a scarf, so I planned to knit a scarf for you. Im halfway done, but you can try it first. Wei Yus breathing stopped and his voice became noticeably lighter. You knitted it for me? Pei Jiao nodded shyly. Yeah. Wei Yu looked at her hand and noticed that her fingers were red, but she hid her hand from him and tried to hide it. He pursed his lips and asked, So the reason your fingers are so red is because you knitted a scarf? Pei Jiao smiled foolishly. Yes, but it doesnt hurt at all. Really. l dont care if it hurts. Wei Yu quickly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said coldly, I dont need anything you do. Theres no need to please me so much. His words made Pei Jiao look like a clown. However, Pei Jiao was not sad or disappointed. This seemed to be within her expectations. She gripped the scarf in her hand and a forced smile curved her lips. Its okay, she said to him. I knitted it for you willingly. If you dont like this color, tell me. Ill change the color and knit it again. Towards the end, her voice unknowingly became much lower. Her hands repeatedly rubbed the fabric of the clothes in front of her. Ive just learned to knit and am still in the learning stage. Its just nice for me to practice. Dont worry, its not troublesome, It just so happens that Im very bored every day. Ill treat it as killing time. Wei Yu looked at her calmly. He saw every expression on her face and every movement of her hands. He leaned slightly towards her. Pei Jiao sensed his approach and did not avoid it. Instead, she boldly looked straight at him. Wei Yus face was expressionless, but Pei Jiao looked shy. He asked the question bluntly. Do you like me? Pei Jiao was not afraid to admit it because of her shyness. She boldly met Wei Yus gaze and admitted frankly, Yes, I like you. This was what Pei Jiao mustered her courage to say. Wei Yu asked her, When? Pei Jiao bit her lip and whispered, My heart skipped a beat, but more than that, I gradually liked you. When I woke up and saw you. After hearing this, Wei Yu remained expressionless and only said, Alright, tell me your true identity first. The reason he brought up this topic was to make her back off. However, Pei Jiao was serious. She gathered her thoughts and replied, My name is Fei Yi. Im 22 years old. My family lives at Xingzhou Wynn Residence. My parents are still alive. My father is a university professor, my mother runs a small company, and I have a younger brother who will enter university soon. You can check. This identity was the one she used when she was wandering outside. It was real and verifiable. The photos were all the same. They couldnt go wrong. It wouldnt go wrong, but it would quickly fail. That was why she hadnt used this identity to fool them when shed been brought here in the first place. She wasnt sure how long shed be locked up here, so shed been pretending to be mute to muddle through. Now was the right time. When this identity failed, she would almost have successfully left. Wei Yu probably did not expect her to choose this moment to confess her origins. And she was so specific about it. His expression was dark and unreadable. He raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He did not speak for a long time. Pei Jiao endured the pain in her knee and slowly stood up. She raised the half-finished scarf in her hand and approached him. Can you try it? Wei Yu looked at her quietly and did not say anything. Forget it then. Pei Jiao lowered her hand in disappointment. You dont like it, so youll hate it even if you try. As soon as she lowered her hand, the half-finished scarf was taken away by Wei Yu. Pei Jiao was stunned and looked up at him. You Wei Yu put the half-finished scarf around his neck. Like this? Pei Jiao burst with joy and nodded. Anything is fine. Seeing her smile, Wei Yu felt inexplicably happy. He let Pei Jiao approach. You adjust. Pei Jiao reached out happily. She gestured at how much longer she needed to knit. She changed several ways to match it. Finally, when her fingertips touched his neck, he suddenly gripped her wrist. Its fine. With that, he took off his scarf and returned it to her. l should go back and rest. You should rest early too. This time he didnt stay long. He turned and walked away. Pei Jiao did not stop him. She only said loudly to his back, Wei Yu, I want to see you tomorrow too. Wei Yu walked quickly. Pei Jiao noticed that the edge of Wei Yus ear was red when he left.. Chapter 653 - Chapter 653: Give Her Private Space Chapter 653: Give Her Private Space Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao looked at Wei Yus fleeing figure and smiled unconsciously. It was only when the door closed and Wei Yu was long gone that the smile on her lips slowly faded. She looked down at the scarf in her hand. It was still half-finished and not very well knitted. Compared to the scarf sold outside, the needlework was extremely crude. Although Wei Yu did not say if he liked it, he definitely did not hate it. Recalling the redness at the edge of Wei Yus ear when he left just now Pei Jiaos eyes became even more determined. The next day, Pei Jiao woke up very early. It hadnt snowed recently, and the weather had improved a lot. She wasnt dressed as thickly as before, and it was easier to dress. After tidying herself up, she took the time to wait outside the door. After waiting for about ten minutes, Wei Yu opened the door and came out with a document bag. The moment Pei Jiao saw Wei Yu come out, her gaze was fixed on him. She noticed that he was wearing a pure black handmade tweed coat and black leather shoes today. He looked like he was going to an important occasion. Where was he going? Pei Jiao racked their brains to guess his recent schedule. She did not seem to have heard anyone say what Wei Yus plans were recently. As she thought, she stood where she was and waited for him to walk over first. When he approached, Pei Jiao immediately smiled brightly. Good morning, Wei Yu. Wei Yu asked her expressionlessly, Is your leg healed? It would have been fine if he hadnt mentioned it. At the mention of it, Pei Jiao felt a dull pain in her knee. Last night, when she went to bed, that was called pain. She couldnt make a turn no matter how hard she tried. She could only lie flat and maintain the posture of bending one leg. In the end, her sleeping posture changed in the middle of the night. Her injured knee touched the bed and she woke up from the pain. Not yet. Pei Jiao shook her head and answered seriously, It doesnt matter if 1 walk slowly. It will hurt a little if I walk too fast, but its fine. Of course, Wei Yu knew that she must still be in pain, but hearing her say it with his own ears was another matter. His clenched jaw relaxed a little, and his expression softened. Since it still hurts, why dont you sleep more? Why are you out so early? Pei Jiao placed her hands behind her back in embarrassment and bit her lower lip several times. Last night, 1 said that I wanted to see you today too. I said this, so I must fulfill it. Wei Yus lips curled into a faint smile. Now that weve met, what are your plans? Pei Jiao whispered, l want to go to breakfast with you. During this period of time, as long as she did not want to go out, Wei Yu would get Ji He to send her food. It did not matter if it was morning, noon, or night. As long as she wanted to eat, he would send it. Or sometimes, Wei Yu would bring it back for her personally. However, a long time had passed since the last time the two of them went to breakfast together, so Pei Jiao wanted to do it again. She looked at Wei Yu expectantly and eagerly, waiting for him to speak. She didnt know how attractive her gaze was to Wei Yu now. He didnt even hesitate before agreeing. Sure. Pei Jiao was delighted and laughed happily. She grabbed his wrist and said excitedly, I knew you were the best. Wei Yu looked down at her hand. The air suddenly became quiet. Pei Jiao realized that she had gone overboard and quickly pulled her hand back. She scratched behind her ear shyly. Im sorry. I was just too happy and agitated just now. I didnt manage my hands well. With that, she quickly raised her hand, her little expression becoming very serious. l promise I wont touch your hand again without your permission. Wei Yu curled his lips and sneered. As he passed by her, he said, Lets go. You agreed to take me to breakfast with you? she asked uncertainly. Wei Yu asked her back, What else? Pei Jiao was overjoyed. After she took a big happy step, the pain in her knee reminded her that she could not stride now. The pain made her frown. She suddenly stood where she was. Wei Yu sensed that she was not following and turned to look at her. Seeing that she was frowning and looking very uncomfortable, he turned back and asked, Can you walk? Pei Jiao tried to be brave. Yes, definitely. Wei Yu watched her act tough calmly. Then take two more steps for me to see. Pei Jiao was a stubborn donkey. If Wei Yu deliberately provoked her, she would really fight him. She took a step forward and wanted to show him. However, before she could take that step, Wei Yu picked her up horizontally. Pei Jiao was slightly stunned. This was the first time she had been carried by Wei Yu while she was extremely awake. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and stared at his jaw. Wei Yu could clearly feel her gaze on him. As he walked, he said, Why? Are you planning to keep staring at me until you see through me? Pei Jiao said, Its your fault for being too good-looking. Wei Yu naturally wouldnt respond to this, because he never liked people praising him for being good-looking. But he wouldnt be angry if she praised him. At most, he would ignore her. Along the way, Wei Yu received many surprised gazes. Wei Yu, who had always been pure of heart and had few desires, was actually carrying a woman in his arms today. This was a rather explosive scene in the entire base, When they arrived at the canteen, Wei Yu put Pei Jiao down. Pei Jiao glanced at the canteen today. It was quite crowded. It was completely different from that day. She retracted her gaze and turned to Wei Yua Thank you. Wei Yu shook his head gently. Pei Jiao asked again, Does your arm feel a little sore after carrying me for so long? Do you think its difficult for me to carry you? Wei Yu asked her. Pei Jiao smiled and shook her head. No, you look very relaxed after carrying me for so long. I feel that you can still carry me back and forth twice. Wei Yu smiled. As many rounds as you want. Pei Jiao smiled coquettishly. Are you proving yourself? l dont need proof. He said the words a little too quickly. Pei Jiao silently moved her hand over and held the tip of his index finger. Wei Yu looked down. Whats wrong? Pei Jiaos face was full of flattery. Can I hold your finger? There are many people in the canteen today. Im afraid Ill get lost. In the past, Wei Yu would have shaken off Pei Jiaos hand and distanced himself from her by another two meters. However, the current Wei Yu could easily compromise in front of Pei Jiao. He agreed without much hesitation. Sure. Youre the best. Pei Jiao did not dare to push her luck. She said that she would hold only one finger. The cafeteria was much livelier today than it had been that day. Pei Jiao knew very well that Wei Yu had cleared the scene to trick her that day. Although she understood, she had to pretend to be confused. Is it because were so early that there are so many people? I remember the last time you brought me here, it was just the two of us. Wei Yu sensed the uneasiness coming from her fingertips and walked even slower. They went to a meeting that day. Its just the two of us. Although there are many people today, theres no need to be nervous. Just ask me if you have any questions. Pei Jiao subconsciously snuggled closer to him because of his words. In the short few minutes since they entered and sat down, more than ten gazes had already looked over and stopped on Pei Jiao. Wei Yu frowned, clearly displeased. He looked up and said to Pei Jiao, Its better to stay in the dormitory and eat in the future. Pei Jiao was using Wei Yus phone to order food after scanning the QR code. When she heard Wei Yus words, she shook her head and said, I dont want it. Wei Yu stared at her and asked her why. Do you prefer lively places? Pei Jiao said affectionately, l like where you are. Wei Yu pondered for a moment. Then lets go to another place. Where? Pei Jiao was very curious and immediately looked up at him. Wei Yu said, My private lounge. Pei Jiao bit her lip, her eyes sparkling with a smile. Are you making things easy for me? Wei Yu said nothing. Pei Jiao lowered her eyes. Then forget it. Im afraid Ill trouble you. Wei Yu suddenly reached for the cell phone and took her hand. No, lets go now.. Chapter 654 - Chapter 654: I Want to Be With You Chapter 654: I Want to Be With You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The so-called private space was Wei Yus private lounge other than the base accommodation building. This lounge was even bigger than Pei Jiao had imagined. There were rows of bookcases, high wine racks, a comfortable sofa area, a big bed for resting, and well-kept green plants everywhere. In addition, there was a super big fish tank. Oh right, there was a spacious terrace outside, too. Pei Jiao liked this place the moment she arrived. She turned to Wei Yu and asked, This place is much better than the accommodation building. Why dont you stay here? Wei Yu said, This place is only suitable for rest. Pei Jiao turned around. If it were me, I would definitely choose to live here. Wei Yu looked calm. You like it here? Thats right. Im obvious enough, right? Pei Jiao giggled, her voice thin and crisp. Although I like this place, compared to living next door to you, Ill still choose that accommodation building. Their eyes met. Pei Jiaos eyes were filled with a bright smile. She liked to express it clearly and passionately. Wei Yu did not need to experience it carefully. One look at her and he knew. However, he never responded to her liking. He found it too baffling, but he couldnt refuse her approach. After a moment, he looked away and turned to open the refrigerator. Do you want yogurt? Pei Jiao asked pitifully, Arent we going to eat breakfast after drinking the yogurt? On the way here from the canteen, Wei Yu didnt say anything else about breakfast. She couldnt help but wonder if he was going to wait for those people in the canteen to finish eating before taking her down for breakfast. At the thought of this possibility, Pei Jiao pouted and felt a little depressed. Wei Yu took a bottle of yogurt from the fridge and handed it to her. Seeing the lively expression on her face, he chuckled. Do you think Ill treat you badly? Pei Jiao took the yogurt and held it with both hands. 1 didnt eat wontons last night. Im a little hungry. Just as she finished speaking, Wei Yu looked angry. You didnt eat? Pei Jiao pouted. Its cold, so 1 didnt eat it. Hearing her explanation, Wei Yu was stunned. Cold? Pei Jiao nodded. Yes. Wei Yu asked, So youve been hungry all night? Im not very hungry. Pei Jiao saw that Wei Yu seemed to be angry and guessed that it was because she had not eaten dinner. She said to him with a cheeky smile, l didnt really want to eat tonight. 1 wanted to lose weight. Wei Yus tone was serious. Dont be cheeky. Pei Jiao bit her cheek and said aggrievedly, Dont be so fierce. Wei Yu reminded her, You should know the downside of not eating dinner. l really dont know. Why dont you tell me? Pei Jiao leaned in front of him. Putting aside the fact that youre malnourished, its easy to suffer brain damage and nervous breakdown if you dont eat dinner often. If these symptoms appear, youll be in pain. After reminding her, Wei Yu took out his phone and made a call. When the call went through, he instructed, Send breakfast up as soon as possible. After giving his instructions, he hung up. Seeing Wei Yus serious expression, Pei Jiao whispered, Ill remember. Ill have a good dinner in the future. Wei Yus expression finally softened. Breakfast will be served soon. Take a walk around and familiarize yourself with the environment. Okay she said obediently. Pei Jiao had never been a restrained person. Since Wei Yu had spoken, she did as he said. Hence, she drank her yogurt and wandered around to familiarize herself with the environment. Soon, she strolled to the terrace, Pei Jiao realized that this position on the terrace was taller than any place she had ever been in the base. She could almost look down on the entire base and the surrounding mountains. Do you like the view? Wei Yus voice came from behind. Pei Jiao nodded. l like it. Wei Yu was very satisfied with her answer. Ill give you a pass tomorrow. You can enter and leave here freely. Pei Jiao turned around and looked at him with wide eyes. Are you serious? Wei Yu raised an eyebrow. Are my words hard to believe? Its not that I cant believe it, but Im too surprised. Pei Jiaos eyes were filled with a happy smile, but soon, that smile turned into loneliness. I feel like Ive been here for a long time. The place I spend the most time is that accommodation building. With that, Pei Jiao turned silently and faced the outside of the terrace. Wei Yu took two steps and stood beside her. Are you tired of staying here? he asked her. No, Pei Jiao denied. Wei Yu hesitated. If you want to leave No! Before Wei Yu could finish, Pei Jiao suddenly grabbed his arm and shook her head at him. Wei Yu looked down at her with a gentle expression. Why dont you want to leave? Dont you miss your family? Pei Jiao asked instead, Can 1 really leave if I want to now? Wei Yu did not answer immediately. He stared at her for a long time before saying, The missing thing has been traced. After some time, when its verified, you can leave. Wei Yu lied. But he didnt know that Pei Jiao knew that this sentence was a lie. That day, Ji Qingzhou had told Pei Jiao that she could have left the base long ago, but she had to apply to verify her identity before she could leave. Pei Jiao would not guess why Wei Yu was lying to her. She pretended not to know anything and shook her head at Wei Yu. Im not a suspect, and 1 dont want to leave. The wind on the terrace ruffled Pei Jiaos hair, and the determination in Pei Jiaos eyes was almost overflowing. Without hesitation, Wei Yu raised his hand and brushed away the hair covering her cheek. He didnt know that it was an overly intimate gesture, He just wanted to do it, but he didnt forget to ask clearly, Why dont you want to leave? Dont you miss your parents? When his hand was about to fall back, she took Wei Yu l s hand and said, Because of you. His palm was warm, but he didnt avoid her touch. Tell me the truth. Pei Jiao pursed her lips and slowly pressed the palm of his hand to her cheek. After I told you about my background that day, I dont know if youve investigated my background. If not, Ill tell you about my original family. l know. Wei Yu let her hold his hand like that. You dont have to say. Pei Jiaos nose turned sour and her eyes turned red. But I want to tell you that 1 was born into a family that favored boys over girls. My parents dont care about me. Look, they havent looked for me after Ive been missing for so long. In their eyes, Ive always been dispensable. After saying this in front of Wei Yu, Pei Jiao thought to herself, Fortunately, I set my identity as miserable as possible! At that time, she was mainly afraid that her true identity would be exposed on the international list and bring unnecessary trouble. She looked up and glanced at Wei Yus expression. Seeing that the time was right, she let go of his hand and threw herself into his arms. As expected, she wasnt pushed away. Pei Jiao knew her limits. She only threw herself into his arms, but she did not hug him, as if she was looking for temporary support and comfort. She said softly, Id like to stay with you if I can, even though you might hate me a little, but dont worry. Im definitely not bothering you. Who said I hate you? Wei Yu asked her.. Chapter 655 - Chapter 655: At the Thought of Her, He Would Be In a Good Mood Chapter 655: At the Thought of Her, He Would Be In a Good Mood Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations You really dont hate me? Pei Jiao seemed to want to confirm again if she had heard wrong. There was no impatience on Wei Yus face as he answered truthfully, No. Pei Jiao was very happy. She took the opportunity to ask him again, Then do you like me? Wei Yu looked down at her and did not answer. Instead, he asked her, What kind of like do you mean? Pei Jiao tightened her fingers and looked a little nervous. The kind between a man and a woman. Wei Yu shook his head. No, Hearing him say no without hesitation, the joy in Pei Jiaos eyes instantly disappeared. She did not seem to expect Wei Yu to tell her the answer directly instead of avoiding the question. You dont like me at all? She wasnt giving up. Wei Yu said, Maybe I have a good impression of you, but I dont like you. Good impressions arent the same as liking, she said. Wei Yu looked very serious. l know its different. Liking is an involuntary feeling from the bottom of my heart. The range of liking is very wide, and liking creatures is also a kind of liking. Pei Jiao looked at his serious face. Then look at my eyes. Wei Yu did as he was told and looked straight into Pei Jiaos big eyes. And? Pei Jiao suddenly approached him. Wei Yu did not move, nor did he move back. Pei Jiao lowered her head in frustration. Liking someone comes from the heart, and liking someone comes from the eyes. You didnt hide or even blink. As expected, its just a good impression. I know. Wei Yu took in all her reactions. He realized that her emotions were not changeable. They had only changed more because of him. She was clearly very happy a second ago. Just because of his answer, her mood instantly plummeted. What do you know? Wei Yu asked her deliberately. Pei Jiao turned around and walked in. l know you dont like me anymore. Fei Yi. Wei Yu turned around and looked at her back. He called her name. Pei Jiao stood where she was and did not turn around. The atmosphere between them was relatively silent. Wei Yu said, Turn around. Pei Jiao did not move, pretending not to hear him. Wei Yu suppressed his racing heart and walked towards her back. Standing beside her, he reasoned with her in a relatively gentle tone. Men and women dont like each other the same way. You might like me on a whim. It starts with a skin you get tired of looking at. When youre tired of looking at it, youll quickly find the next skin you like better. And mens liking is mostly confirmation. Youre going the other way, Pei Jiao retorted. She raised her head sideways and met his gaze. Women dont fall for each other just because of their looks. Men are the visual animals. If not for the fact that the occasion was not right, Pei Jiao would probably have laughed out loud. In this materialistic world, men being loyal are especially precious. It was only normal to love one after seeing one. A peerless good man like her brother, who loved someone wholeheartedly, was almost extinct. At least, that was what Pei Jiao thought. Although he was refuted, Wei Yu did not try to retort. In your definition, Im a man who loves one whenever I see one. Then why do you still like me? Pei Jiao took half a step towards him and said to him word by word, Because Im tempted by sex. Wei Yu: Knock knock knock C There was a knock on the door. Pei Jiao grinned at Wei Yu. Ill open the door. Wei Yu stared at her back as she went to open the door. His tongue pressed against his molars that were faintly itching. What a good reason to be lustful. Pei Jiao opened the door and saw that it was Ji He who had brought breakfast. She smiled sweetly and greeted Ji He. Good morning, Assistant He. Ji He walked in with breakfast. Correction, Miss Fei. My surname is Ji. Isnt that a very special address? In the future, when 1 call you Assistant He, youll know its me. After saying that, Pei Jiao pointed at the small table beside her. Just leave breakfast here. That makes sense. Ji He agreed with Pei Jiao and placed breakfast in her designated spot. Wei Yu walked over with one hand in his pocket. Ji He immediately smiled and greeted, Young Master. Wei Yu pulled a face. Are you in a good mood? Ji He couldnt laugh anymore. He silently lowered his head and thought to himself that he was finished. He had immediately bumped into a gunpowder muzzle and didnt even know what was going on.. Chapter 656 - Chapter 656: At the Thought of Her, He Would Be In a Good Mood (2) Chapter 656: At the Thought of Her, He Would Be In a Good Mood (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He wondered who had provoked Young Master so early in the morning. Miss Fei Yi did not seem to have provoked Young Master. She was not an important person, so she would not make Young Master angry because of her. Then who provoked Young Master?? Ji He racked his brains but could not figure it out. Pei Jiao pretended not to know anything. She took the breakfast out of the bag and placed it on the small table. She said to Wei Yu, You can eat now. Wei Yu glanced sideways at her and said nothing. Pei Jiao smiled as sweetly as before. Arent you eating? Wei Yu retracted his gaze and left, leaving Pei Jiao with a cold profile and a sentence. Im full. Pei Jiao: After Wei Yu left, Ji He quickly turned to ask Pei Jiao, l couldnt figure out who provoked Young Master after thinking for a long time. Do you know who it was? Pei Jiao shook her head innocently. l dont know either. Forget it. Ji He admitted his bad luck. Who asked me to follow the strange young master? Ill leave first. Leave it here after you finish eating. Ill come back to get the lunch box later. Pei Jiao nodded. Okay. After Ji He left, Pei Jiao was alone in the huge house. Pei Jiao looked in the direction of the door and smiled sarcastically. Ever since Wei Yu left without breakfast, he had not appeared again for the entire afternoon. Pei Jiao did not run around. She stayed obediently in Wei Yus private lounge. She spent her time either watching television or gardening or rummaging through Wei Yus bookshelf. The most miserable person in the afternoon was Ji He. He kept facing the young masters cold face. Every second felt like torture, especially when there was a call from the old residence. If the young master did not pick up, Ji He would be scolded. Ji He felt that he was being put in a spot. Dr. Ji. Ji He held his cell phone and begged Ji Qingzhou. Why dont you help me persuade the Young Master on account of our surnames? I cant hold on much longer. Ji Qingzhou put down the engineering design in his hand and turned to look at Ji He. Are you begging me? Ji He nodded. l can even kneel. Forget it. Ji Qingzhou couldnt help but laugh. Because kneeling is useless. You begged the wrong person. Im not that familiar with M/ei Yu. If youre not even familiar with Young Master, Im afraid no one in this base is. Ji He looked pitiful. Dr. Ji, can you bear to see me suffer like this? He that hides can find. I clearly saw that Wei Yu was in a good mood when he brought that young lady to the canteen in the morning. After that, I dont know where he brought the young lady. When he came back, he had a cold expression as if everyone owed him. I dont even know what happened. How can I resolve it? Ji Qingzhous words were filled with logic, so Ji He could not refute. In the end, Ji He sighed in resignation. Let me bear the storm from Matriarch alone. Ji Qingzhou laughed out loud. He hooked his finger at Ji He, who leaned over. Dr. Ji, are you willing to help me convince Young Master? How can my persuasion be useful? Ji Qingzhou knew this well, so he thought of a lousy move. Listen to me. Later, when youre like this Two minutes later, Ji He appeared beside Wei Yu. At first, Ji He did not say anything and waited silently at the side. After a while, his phone rang. Ji He picked it up in front of Wei Yu. Matriarch. Wei Yu was checking the design parameters from yesterday. He was very busy, so busy that he had no time to deal with anyone. However, it was difficult for him to ignore Ji He when he was so close to him. Seeing that Young Master did not react, Ji He followed Ji Qingzhous instructions and said to Matriarch Wei, Matriarch, Young Master is indeed very busy now, but theres someone who can take your call in Young Masters place. Wait for me for a few minutes. Ill give her the phone. After saying that to the person on the other end of the line, Ji He immediately said to Wei Yu, Young Master, Ill get Miss Fei Yi to answer Matriarchs call. What do you think? Wei Yus expression turned cold. Ji He pretended not to see Wei Yus expression and continued, In any case, youre too busy to leave now, and Miss Fei Yi is very bored. Its a good opportunity to chat with the Matriarch. That way, she wont look for you. Although it was a lousy move, Ji He felt that this lousy move seemed to be useful. No matter what he said just now, Young Master would ignore it. When he mentioned Miss Fei Yi just now, Young Master immediately reacted. Ji He knew that it was working and turned to leave. Young Master, Ill go find Miss Fei Yi first. Stop right there! Wei Yu l s cold voice sounded. Ji He was shocked and immediately stood rooted to the ground. Wei Yu threw aside his work for the time being and stood up to walk over. He took the cell phone from Ji He and glanced at him before answering the call. Get lost. Ji He did not expect Dr. Ji t s lousy move to be so effective. Young Master really could not withstand any provocation. He quickly nodded. Alright, Ill get lost now. With that, he immediately disappeared from Wei Yus sight. Wei Yu held the phone and sat back in his seat. Seeing that the cell phone page was still on, he raised the phone to his ear and called softly, Grandma. The old ladys kind voice came from the phone. Why havent you answered my call today? Wei Yu said her usual excuse. Im busy. So busy that you dont even have time to answer my call? The old ladys muttering tone was slightly dissatisfied as she complained, l only stayed for half a day the last time I came back. I havent been back for almost a month. Wei Yu leaned back. l told you before that the base has lost something very important. The base is currently in full lockdown. I cant come back for the time being. The old lady asked, How long will I have to wait? Wei Yu did not say anything. Fei Yis appearance suddenly appeared in his mind and he could not help but guess what she was doing at this moment. As he guessed, his lips curled up unconsciously. The old lady didnt hear anything. Busy with something again? she asked in a raised voice. Im busy. Wei Yu came back to his senses and said softly, l might be back in another half a month. The old lady said, You mean what you say? Wei Yu said, Ill try my best. The old lady said, Forget it. You always say to try your best. After a pause, the old lady remembered what Ji He had told her just now and asked, That kid Ji He said something about Miss Fei Yi. Which girl is this? Wei Yu did not avoid the question. A girl I met by chance. The old lady said, Do you like her? Wei Yu was about to deny it when the old lady suddenly said, You have to remember that youre still engaged. Thats the daughter of the Pei family. Dont take it lightly. Wei Yu said nothing. Knowing that Wei Yu was still on the phone, the old lady had no choice but to mention, You knew about the engagement with the daughter of the Pei family long ago. The last time you came back, I quite hoped that you could meet that daughter of the Pei family. Unfortunately, you left in such a hurry. You cant delay it anymore when you come back this time. Yu, are you still listening to Grandma? The old lady called twice, but there was no response. She thought the line had gone dead. Im listening, Grandma, Wei Yu said. The old lady only felt at ease when she heard the voice. She wanted to say something else, but Wei Yu did not hide it anymore. He took the opportunity to tell the old lady the truth. Grandma, Ive already broken off the engagement with the daughter of the Pei family. I wont be with her.. Chapter 657 - Chapter 657: Hooking Chapter 657: Hooking Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Only Wei Yu himself knew that he had canceled the marriage with the Pei family. In addition, after canceling this marriage, Wei Yu went straight back to the base. The news did not reach the old lady, so the old lady was still in the dark half a minute ago. Now that she heard Wei Yu say that he had already broken off the engagement with the Pei family, the old lady was stunned. You really broke off the engagement? Wei Yu replied, Yes. The old lady knew her grandson very well. She quickly realized that Wei Yu was not joking. Moreover, this was completely something Wei Yu would do. Besides, the old lady also knew that Wei Yu had always resisted the marriage with the Pei family. Our Wei family and the Pei family have been friends for many years. Why did you cancel this marriage just like that? Why didnt you discuss it with us in advance? Although the old lady was angry, she did not blame Wei Yu for canceling the marriage without permission. However, she still reminded Wei Yu, The Pei family is a famous family in the capital after all. Although our Wei family has a hundred years of foundation, we still have to be careful in front of the Pei family. In order not to worry the old lady, Wei Yu said, I understand. Its good that you understand. The old lady sighed and said, l didnt know before, but now that I know, our Wei family should apologize personally. Dont worry, Ill go to Mrs. Pei personally. Wei Yu lowered his eyes and said in a softer voice, Grandma, Im sorry to trouble you again this time. Youre still being polite to me. The old lady smiled and said, If you dont like her, even if youre forced to get married in the end, the girl will suffer. Grandma is thinking for you, and of course, Im thinking for her. I know your personality. If you dont like her, you wont want her even if she was forcefully given to you. At this point, the old lady had no choice but to mention, However, Ive seen the daughter of the Pei family once. Shes quite a beautiful girl. Speaking of which, you havent even seen her yet. Why dont you meet her personally before I contact Mrs. Pei? Its good to tell her clearly. Wei Yu rejected her outright. l dont have to see her. The old lady laughed. Alright, alright, alright. So be it. From your attitude, even if she stands in front of you like a fairy, you probably wont look at her twice. Alright, I wont disturb you anymore. Our Wei family has a huge family business and doesnt have to worry about food and clothes. Dont work too hard outside. Take care of your health, understand? Yes, I know, Wei Yu replied. In the Wei family, Wei Yu would always be the most favored eldest son and eldest grandson. No one in the Wei family would ever object or interfere with any of his decisions. Even if they offended the Pei family this time, what the Wei family wanted to do was not to force Wei Yu to compromise, but to personally apologize to the Pei family. After ending the call, Wei Yu put his phone down on the table. Wei Yu shouted. In less than five seconds, Ji He flashed to Wei Yus side. Young Master, have you finished answering the Matriarchs call? Did the Matriarch urge you to go back? Wei Yu did not answer. Instead, he asked, She hasnt come out all afternoon? Ji He pretended not to understand. Who? Wei Yu narrowed his narrow eyes. Ji He felt a chill run down his spine and immediately said, Ever since Young Master left this morning, Miss Fei Yi has never left the house. Wei Yu asked, Did she ask for anything? Ji He said, Apart from delivering lunch, Miss Fei Yi thanked me and didnt say anything else. Wei Yu picked up the cell phone on the table and handed the new material he had researched today to Ji He. Give it to Minister Lin for me. Tell him that Im off work first. Ji He took the new material. Young Master, youre off work? Youve never gotten off work so early. According to Wei Yus work habits, he never looked at the time when he got off work. He worked until he wanted to get off work every day. It was not yet five oclock today. There was even half an hour before the normal knock-off time. That was why Ji He was especially shocked. Wei Yu glanced at Ji He. Dont you often complain to Grandma that I dont cherish my body and work overtime every day? Ji He exclaimed, Its useless for me to persuade you, so I mentioned it to the Matriarch. Youre quite talkative. If you continue talking, Ill cut your tongue off. With that, Wei Yu left. Ji He looked at Wei Yu l s departing figure and scratched the back of his ear. Why do I feel that it doesnt seem like enlightenment? More like hes eager to see someone. Ji Qingzhous voice came faintly from behind. Who do you think he cant wait to see when he gets off work so early? Ji He reacted half a beat too slowly. Who? Ji Qingzhou laughed. Of course its his lover in the golden house. Wei Yu walked especially quickly back to his private lounge. It was as if there was some magic drawing him to quicken his pace. He finally reached the door. He reached out and fitted the fingerprint to the identification. Then he pressed down on the doorknob to open the door. The house was different from when hed left it this morning. It was a lot messier. There were several packs of uneaten snacks on the couch. There was potato chip residue on the carpet. There was a half bottle of Coke on the coffee table, but the house was empty. Wei Yu shouted, Fei Yi? No sound responded to him. Wei Yu shouted twice more, but there was still no response. The wind outside the terrace blew in and lifted the curtains in the house. Wei Yu focused for a moment and suddenly thought of something. He walked quickly to the terrace. There were no signs of climbing on the terrace fence. And it was so high up. She probably couldnt have thought of taking the terrace. It was too dangerous. But where had she gone? Wei Yus eyes darkened. He had never been so flustered as at this moment. Veins bulged on the back of his arm, which was propped against the fence. A moment later, he was back in the house. It was like looking for something lost. Inch by inch, he searched every corner of the house. Fortunately, he found her behind the sofa in the end. The moment he saw her lying there unharmed, Wei Yu understood what it meant to regain something one had lost. He immediately squatted down and removed the empty Rio bottle beside her before slowly helping her up. When he spoke, his voice was surprisingly gentle. Wake up? Pei Jiao was drunk. Even she did not expect to be knocked down by two bottles of Rio. She had wanted to lie down on the sofa to rest, but she was seeing things. Coupled with the fact that her legs were inconvenient, she accidentally fell behind the sofa and fell asleep. Only now was she woken up by Wei Yu. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Wei Yu, she quickly closed them again and pouted. How strange. I can even dream of you. Wei Yu laughed. You dont want to dream of me? After lying on the ground for a long time, Pei Jiao instinctively burrowed into Wei Yus arms for warmth and replied subconsciously, l want to see you. I miss you so much. Wei Yu did not speak, but his mood surprisingly improved. He carried Pei Jiao horizontally and placed her back on the bed for the time being. He took off her shoes himself to avoid touching the wound on her knee. Every move was extremely careful. He covered her with the blanket and was about to get up when Pei Jiao suddenly opened her eyes. Then, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Wei Yus neck. Wei Yu was caught off guard and was pulled down by her. However, their lips did not touch. He held on and controlled the buoyancy of his body to prevent his entire body from pressing against hers. Pei Jiao was drunk, but her movements were extremely agile. She used the momentum to flip over and pressed Wei Yu down when he was unprepared. Wei Yu borrowed the force to get up again, but Pei Jiao raised her face at this moment. Wei Yu froze and looked at her without moving. Pei Jiao opened her misty eyes and her cheeks were slightly pink She first smiled foolishly at Wei Yu. Wei Yus heart beat faster. Youre drunk, he reminded her hoarsely. Am 1? Pei Jiaos eyes widened a little, and her face was closer to his. Wei Yu held his breath and watched her approach infinitely. Their hot breaths gently intertwined. Wei Yu had never felt like this before. His heart was beating so fast that it could not be any faster. He wanted to say something, but his throat suddenly tightened and he could not say a word. Pei Jiao slowly moved her hand up and placed it on Wei Yus shoulder. Her other hand was on his chest. She seemed to be doing everything based on her intuition. At this moment, she leaned in front of him based on her intuition. As their lips got closer and closer, Pei Jiao suddenly stopped. She blinked her blurry eyes and said softly, This doesnt seem right. Wei Yus breath caught. What? Pei Jiao added, l cant do this. Youll hate me even more. With that, she made it as if to get up and douse the lit fire. However, just as Pei Jiao came to her senses and was about to leave, Wei Yu was no longer as calm as before. He reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling it in front of him. Um Chapter 658 - Chapter 658: Officially Responding to Her Like (1) Chapter 658: Officially Responding to Her Like (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao did not know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she realized that she had returned to the dormitory in the accommodation building. There was no one else beside her, only her, with a stunned expression, when she woke up. There was a faint burning pain in the skin of her mouth. She seemed to forget what was going on. She raised her hand to her mouth, then her expression changed to a grimace. Hiss, ah It hurts, it hurts, it hurts It hurt so much! Pei Jiao lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She went to the bathroom to look in the mirror. When she saw that the skin of her mouth was red in the mirror, as if she had been ruthlessly ravaged, her eyes were filled with shock. Why is my mouth broken? She frowned in confusion. Then, to test if she had imagined it, she raised her hand to her lips again. Hiss It still burned. As it hurt, Pei Jiao suddenly fell into deep thought. She quickly recalled how her mouth condition had been caused. In Wei Yus private lounge Two bottles of Rio She fell under the sofa After that, she seemed to hear Wei Yus voice calling her in a daze, sounding more anxious than before. After that, she seemed to see Wei Yu carry her to the bed. In the end Pei Jiao shuddered. Some images in her mind gradually became clear, and the strange feeling magnified infinitely in her mind. Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle. Damned man, he looked like a human on the surface. Why was he so ruthless when he kissed her? Her mouth was broken. Hiss, it hurts. Pei Jiao shook her head and looked at herself in the mirror again. Her mouth seemed to turn even redder. She immediately turned on the tap and scooped up a handful of water on her face. The cold water temperature quickly cleared her mind. The images that she could not get rid of in her mind were washed away by this handful of cold water. A few minutes later, Pei Jiao went next door in a thin coat and knocked on Wei Yus door. Wei Yu came to open the door. When he saw that it was her, his eyes avoided hers. For a moment, he did not notice that she was wearing thin clothes. He only asked, Its very late. Whats the matter? Pei Jiao looked at Wei Yu pitifully. Im getting heaty. Wei Yu, who had been avoiding her gaze, looked at her and frowned slightly, as if he had not heard her clearly. What? Pei Jiao pointed at her mouth and said to him in a muffled voice, 1 dont know whats going on either. When I woke up, my mouth was a little swollen. It burned when 1 touched it. Wei Yus eyes darkened at that. He knew best how the swelling on her mouth had come about. If she came knocking on the door now to ask him for an explanation, he would admit it. And he would solve it the way she wanted. He was ready to take responsibility. But she only looked puzzled and said that she was heaty. The words he was about to admit suddenly stuck in his throat and he couldnt say them. Wei Yu looked at her quietly for a moment before asking her softly, Do you know how it happened? l dont know. Ive been like this since I woke up. Pei Jiaos voice was muffled, and her almond-shaped eyes were pitiful. Wei Yu suddenly walked out of the house. Without saying anything, he took Pei Jiaos hand and returned to where she lived. Pei Jiao let him hold her hand and followed behind him obediently. What do you think happened? When I woke up, my mouth was swollen, as if it had been bitten. At this point, she clearly felt Wei Yus body stiffen. She asked again, Oh, right. How did I get back? Wei Yu said, You dreamwalked. Pei Jiao said, I dont believe you. Then how do you think you got back? His tone was flat. l dont know. Pei Jiao shook her head. At this moment, Pei Jiao had already followed Wei Yu back into the house. He let go of her hand and walked in with ease. He took a thicker coat and covered her. Its not like day at night. Its colder outside. Youll suffer when you catch a cold. He kept a straight face and said something bad-tempered, but his hands didnt stop as he carefully put her coat on. Pei Jiao was like a child, obedient. She raised her hand and let Wei Yu put on her coat. As he buttoned her jacket, she stared at Wei Yus face, which was inches away. What about the mouth? Wei Yu stopped in his tracks. Pei Jiao continued, Although I dont know whats going on, it hurts when I touch it. Do you think it will become even more swollen tomorrow? Its as swollen as a sausage. Sausage lips are ugly. Wei Yu, can you help me think of a way? I dont want to wake up with sausage lips tomorrow.. Chapter 659 - Chapter 659: Officially Responding to Her Like (2) Chapter 659: Officially Responding to Her Like (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiaos voice was soft. Just hearing it made ones heart soften. Not to mention Wei Yu, who was in front of her. He fastened the last button on her shirt and slowly raised his eyes to stare at her delicate face. Applying anti-inflammatory medicine should reduce the swelling. Pei Jiao blinked. Where can I find anti-inflammatory medicine? Wei Yu turned around and went to the cabinet beside the bookshelf to open the drawer. He took out an anti-inflammatory medicine and walked towards Pei Jiao. Ill usually have a spare one. Itll be just right for you, he said, unscrewing the lid of the anti-inflammatory medicine, then handing it to her. Pei Jiao did not take it and asked a more worried question. Is this expired? Wei Yu said firmly, No. Pei Jiao looked down and shook her head. Although it hurts even if I dont touch the skin of my mouth, it must hurt even more when I apply anti-inflammatory medicine. Id better not. Ill just let it swell tomorrow. Her cowardice came quickly. Just a second ago, she was worried that her mouth would swell into sausage lips tomorrow. Seeing that he had taken out anti-inflammatory medicine, she immediately beat a retreat. Wei Yu was both angry and amused. Arent you afraid that your lips will swell like sausages tomorrow? Pei Jiao frowned. l am Wei Yu: Then be good. Pei Jiao stepped back. l dont want it. After saying no, she turned around and was about to run away, but Wei Yu grabbed her wrist faster than her and pulled her back. Pei Jiao could not escape. Her expression turned to one of horror as she shook her head at him. No, no, I dont want it. Im most afraid of pain. Wei Yu grabbed her wrist and refused to let go. Are you sure you dont want to apply it? Im not applying it anymore, Pei Jiao said firmly. However, this time, Wei Yu did not accommodate her and said directly, Ill help you apply it. Pei Jiao hesitated. Then, then, then can you be gentler? Wei Yu laughed. Its just applying medicine. How heavy do you think it is? Pei Jiao looked unafraid of death and raised her face to him. Then apply it. The smile on Wei Yus lips spread. Of course, he wouldnt just apply it to her. First, he pulled her to the side and sat down. Then, he took a cotton swab and applied the ointment to her swollen lips bit by bit. This process was not as scary as Pei Jiao had imagined. But to Wei Yu, this process was very torturous. Because his mind was filled with the way he had kissed her not long ago, the memory was very deep. That scene was completely imprinted in his mind. The faint fragrance of her body wafted over. He tried to ignore the wisps of fragrance, but when his gaze returned to her lips, his eyes instantly darkened. Her lips were slightly red and swollen. After applying the creamy anti-inflammatory ointment, it was like a delicate rose, silently inviting him to pluck her. Wei Yu suddenly stopped applying it. He closed his eyes and swallowed slightly. Pei Jiao paid attention to Wei Yus reaction and asked, Are you feeling unwell? Wei Yu shook his head and moved his upper body back. Then, he stood up. Its applied. Dont apply it if theres nothing wrong. When the medicine takes effect, sleep for a while. You should be fine tomorrow morning. As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Jiao raised her hand to touch it. Wei Yu grabbed her wrist. l told you not to touch it. Pei Jiao looked up at him. Wei Yus breathing had yet to calm down and was a little chaotic, so his tone was a little heavy. Coupled with the fact that he deliberately restrained his expression, he looked a little fierce. Pei Jiao was stunned. She whispered, Ill control my hands. Dont be so fierce. Wei Yu was stunned, then immediately said to her, Sorry. Pei Jiao was stunned. You said Sorry? Wei Yu was a very arrogant person. Whether it was his personality or his appearance, he was cold and arrogant. He would not give in or apologize. Few people could hear words related to an apology from him. But just now, when that apology came out, he didnt hesitate at all. You dont accept it? Wei Yus gentle eyes focused on her. If you dont accept it, Ill say it more. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Pei Jiao raised her hand. Theres no need to say anything else. Its enough. Wei Yu chuckled. You forgive me easily. Because its you. Pei Jiao grinned foolishly. Other people cant, but you can. Wei Yu had an idea. His gaze stopped on her lips that were covered in anti-inflammatory medicine again. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and put away the anti-inflammatory medicine that he had applied on her just now. He placed it back in the original drawer and came to Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao asked him, Arent you going back to rest? I seem to have delayed your rest because of this small matter. You were already so tired from work during the day. Her eyes were full of heartache. Wei Yu shook his head gently. Im not tired. Pei Jiao said, As if. Im really not tired. You didnt hold me up. Wei Yu stood in front of Pei Jiao and said seriously, Sleep well tonight. When you wake up tomorrow, the swelling on your lips will subside. Pei Jiao nodded. l know. And Wei Yu hesitated, not finishing his sentence. Pei Jiao was actually not sleepy at all. After all, she had slept until now after getting drunk. It was not a problem for her to stay up all night. Normally, she would definitely stay up all night, but there was no cell phone or computer here. It was meaningless to stay up all night, so she could only sleep. After tormenting Wei Yu for half a day, she was satisfied. But what did Wei Yu mean by looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated? What else was he going to say? Although Pei Jiao could not guess, she would not rush him. She looked at him curiously. What else? Tomorrow morning he said seriously, holding her gaze. Tomorrow morning, I can give you an answer. Pei Jiao asked curiously, What answer? Wei Yu said, l already have a clear answer in my heart. Since its clear, why cant you tell me now? Pei Jiao pouted. Youre not sending me away, are you? The smile in Wei Yu t s eyes was the gentlest Pei Jiao had seen in a long time. She heard him say, want to be more formal.. Chapter 660 - Chapter 660: Crazy Wedding Chapter 660: Crazy Wedding Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao blinked. Be more formal? Yeah, he said. Pei Jiao couldnt help but laugh. What is so important that you have to be more formal? Why dont you tell me some now? Otherwise, I wont be able to sleep tonight. She was really curious. Whether it was the side she deliberately displayed or the other side of her heart, she was especially curious about what Wei Yu had just said. However, Wei Yu would not stay and tell Pei Jiao now. Well talk tomorrow. Sleep early. Ill go back first. With that, he turned and left. Pei Jiao stared at Wei Yus departing figure until he closed the door and left. She slowly retracted her gaze. She raised her hand and touched her lips. The burning pain from before had lessened, and it was cold now. This anti-inflammatory medicine was indeed very effective. Pei Jiao couldnt help but laugh, and she was very happy. She slowly returned to the bed and sat down. She turned her elbows back and propped herself up on the bed. She raised her face and looked at the ceiling, the smile on her lips growing brighter. It was quite tiring to pretend for so long. However, Pei Jiao did not expect it to work so quickly. She thought that it would be very difficult to conquer Wei Yu. She was even worried that her patience would run out early. Fortunately, everything was going according to her plan. Pei Jiao smiled in satisfaction. In such a good mood today, she expected to sleep peacefully tonight. Instead, she had a nightmare. In her dream, she was holding a wedding with Wei Yu. She was wearing a snow-white wedding dress and a veil on her head, happily receiving blessings from every family and friend. Wei Yu was also wearing a white suit and was so dazzling among the guests. Many guests came to the event location. Wei Yu t s relatives, her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and younger brother were all here to witness her and Wei Yus happy moment. When the wedding was held, she and Wei Yu were standing face to face, The priest was reading the oath. When the priest asked Wei Yu, Are you willing to be engaged to her? In the future, be it illness or health, or any other reason, you will love her, take care of her, respect her, accept her, and be loyal to her until the end of your life? Wei Yu looked at Pei Jiao and did not answer. Instead, he asked her, Do you love me? Pei Jiao nodded. l love you. Wei Yu shook his head, looking dazed. Youre lying to me Pei Jiao looked puzzled. Whats wrong? Wei Yu did not say anything else. He took out a dagger from his white suit jacket. The moment he raised the dagger, the blade flashed with a sharp cold light. Pei Jiao was frightened. She watched helplessly as Wei Yu raised the dagger and stabbed at her, but she did not move. The knife came down and pulled out again. Blood splattered everywhere, instantly staining Pei Jiaos white wedding dress like red spider lilies. Pei Jiao held her bleeding chest, her pale face filled with disbelief and unwillingness. Why? Why did you kill me? When she was in danger, she did not ask for help. Instead, she asked Wei Yu why he had raised a knife to kill her at the wedding. Because I love you, Wei Yu said and laughed involuntarily. The knife he was holding was dripping blood. A large portion of his white suit was stained by Pei Jiaos blood, and his face was also covered in blood. Wei Yus facial features seemed to be twisted together and gradually became terrifying. He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood off his lips. Then, he slowly squatted down and said to Pei Jiao, l killed you with my own hands. This way, you will always be mine. He raised the knife in his hand again and stabbed himself in the abdomen. Pei Jiao was so weak that she could not make a sound. She could not stop him and could only watch as he committed suicide in front of her. The bright red blood almost dyed the snow-white of the two of them red. In the end, Wei Yu fell into Pei Jiaos arms. Her five senses dissipated. Just as her consciousness was about to disappear, Pei Jiao heard Wei Yu say to her with the last of his strength, Ill die with you. Whoosh! Pei Jiao, who had been woken up by a nightmare, suddenly sat up in bed. Sweat drenched her forehead and hair. There was a thin layer of sweat on the side of her face and neck. She panted unevenly. Every frame of the blood-stained wedding dress in her mind seemed to have really happened. It was shocking. Knock knock knock. There was a knock on the door. Probably from the nightmare, her nerves were a little weak now. A knock on the door startled her again. Knock knock knock. The knock came again. Pei Jiao took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions that were in a mess from the nightmare. Then, she slowly lifted the blanket and got out of bed to open the door. The door opened, and the light shone in. She raised a hand to shield her eyes. After a moment, she looked at the person standing outside the door. Wei Yu, she called softly. Wei Yu, who was outside the door, walked in. Pei Jiao did not notice and staggered half a step when she moved to the side, almost falling. Wei Yu reacted quickly and held her waist. He asked in a low voice, Youre not awake? Before Pei Jiao could speak, Wei Yu realized that there was a thin layer of sweat on her neck and face. He immediately frowned. Why do you look so pale? Pei Jiao was stunned for a moment before saying in a muffled voice, I had a nightmare. What nightmare scares you so much? he asked. When he asked what nightmare it was, the scene of Wei Yu raising the knife and stabbing her in her dream appeared in Pei Jiaos mind. Pei Jiao trembled. She moved away from Wei Yu and kept a certain distance. She shook her head and said, l forgot what the nightmare was. Wei Yu frowned slightly. Forgot? Pei Jiao said, Yes, I forgot. Wei Yus lips twitched. You dont seem to have forgotten. Pei Jiao did not want to answer this. She turned around and walked towards the bathroom with her head lowered. Wei Yus voice came from behind. Ill wait for you outside. Pei Jiao paused and immediately turned to ask, Why are you waiting for me? Wei Yu looked at Pei Jiaos distracted expression. Arent you eating breakfast? Oh Pei Jiao sighed and smiled reluctantly. Then you might have to wait a little longer. I just woke up and havent washed up. Wei Yu replied, Okay. She went into the bathroom and locked the door. She looked at herself in the mirror and patted her chest. Phew. Fortunately, its just a nightmare. I was scared to death. She quickly washed her face and checked if the swelling had subsided. Seeing that her mouth had returned to its usual state, she immediately felt much better. A few minutes later, Pei Jiao followed Wei Yu out. She obediently walked beside him. Although she hadnt said anything along the way, her mind hadnt been idle. She was planning an appropriate time to file an application to leave the base. She had to hide the entire process from Wei Yu and not let him know. But how could she do it without Wei Yu knowing? Pei Jiao racked her brains to think of a countermeasure. Especially since she had to leave when Wei Yu had fallen in love with her. Only then could she achieve her perfect revenge. Time must not be wrong. Every step had to be planned in detail. She was thinking so seriously that she didnt notice when Wei Yu stopped. As she walked, she accidentally bumped into him. She looked up. Why arent you leaving? Wei Yu turned around. Youre so preoccupied early in the morning. What exactly did you dream of? Can I tell you about my dreams? Obviously not! Pei Jiao naturally changed the topic and asked, Didnt you say last night that you had something to tell me today? You even said to be more formal. What is it? Wei Yu reached out to her. Pei Jiao was stunned. What do you want? Wei Yu said, Give me your hand. Pei Jiao hesitated for a moment, then slowly placed her hand in Wei Yus. He held it gently and said to her, Ill take you to meet someone first. Youll know after you meet them.. Chapter 661 - Chapter 661: She Become His Fiancée Again Chapter 661: She Become His Fiance Again Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao was very curious about who Wei Yu was taking her to meet. Wei Yu did not tell her even after asking all the way. When she finally saw that person, Pei Jiao was confused. She first looked at Wei Yu, then at the person Wei Yu had specially brought her to meet. She was speechless and did not know how to address him. Until Wei Yu introduced him to her. Fei Yi, hes Minister Lin, whos in charge of everything in the base. Pei Jiao was very puzzled, but she did not show it on her face. She nodded obediently at the person Wei Yu introduced. Hello, Minister Lin. Hello. Lin Zheng nodded. At this moment, although Lin Zheng did not smile, he was quite puzzled. He was about to sleep last night when he suddenly received a call from Wei Yu. In the past, if Wei Yu called so late at night, he would definitely talk to him about the main project. However, he had predicted wrongly this time. Wei Yu called to tell him that he was bringing someone to see him today. Of course, Lin Zheng had heard some rumors recently. He had more or less heard about Wei Yu and knew that he was much closer to the girl he had brought into the base, so he guessed that Wei Yu should be bringing that girl over today. Unexpectedly, it was true. l know you and Wen Qiong are very close. Lin Zheng smiled gently and said to Pei Jiao, But Wen Qiong left the base yesterday and went home. Shell come again in two days. Oh, I see. Pei Jiao was at a loss. She could only smile at Minister Lins words. At this moment, Wei Yu said, l didnt bring her here to look for Wen Qiong. Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows. Then you brought her here for? Wei Yu said word by word, l want to apply for a pass for her. Lin Zhengs eyes widened. What did you say? Wei Yu repeated, l want to apply for a pass to the base for Fei Yi. In the entire base, Wei Yu could get anything he wanted without Lin Zhengs permission. This was his privilege when he joined here, and he was also the only person in the entire base who had this privilege. However, it was against the rules to apply for a pass to the base for an outsider like Pei Jiao. It was also a taboo. According to the normal process. Lin Zheng would definitely not agree. Wei Yu, you should know that the pass to the base cant be applied for by outsiders. Lin Zhengs expression instantly became serious. Wei Yu nodded. l know. Lin Zhengyi smiled angrily. Then why did you mention it? Wei Yu pursed his lips and lowered his voice slightly. l know. Thats why I brought her to you personally. I also hope that Minister Lin can give me this privilege. Lin Zheng: Pei Jiao remained silent at the side. She was also very surprised that Wei Yu had suggested applying for a pass to the base for her. That was the pass to the entire base!! She knew that this was a pass that only everyone who entered the base could apply for. Moreover, the process was strict. It was not easy to obtain that pass. Wei Yu, you cant use your position for personal gain. Its against the rules, Lin Zheng reminded him with a straight face. Wei Yu smirked. Rules are dead, but people are alive, arent they? Otherwise, I wouldnt have specially come to look for you. Only this matter requires your approval. Lin Zheng was angry and amused. For a moment, he was caught between laughter and tears. Youve been in the base for so long and have never taken the initiative to look for me. Its rare for you to look for me this time. I have to be put on a high profile. This meant that they had come to an agreement. Wei Yu smiled back. Thank you, Minister Lin. I hope to get the pass as soon as possible. Lin Zheng indeed relented. Because it was Wei Yu who asked for the pass. If it were anyone else, Lin Zheng would probably not give it to him even if he racked his brains. However, it was definitely impossible for it to be as fast as possible. No matter how fast it is, it cant be down in a day or two. The process has to be completed. Just wait. With that, Lin Zheng looked at the girl who was standing obediently beside Wei Yu. Wei Yu wants to apply for a pass to the base for you. Do you know what authority this card represents? Pei Jiao pretended to be ignorant and shook her head. Lin Zheng smiled gently. With this card, you can enter and leave the entire base freely in the future, but At this point, Lin Zheng suddenly became serious again. He turned to Wei Yu and said, l almost forgot to remind you that the name of applying for this card for her must be related to you. In the future, if anything happens, you have to take responsibility. You should know this. l know. Wei Yu nodded. Lin Zheng teased, Then what other relationship is more suitable for me to fill in the sibling relationship? Wei Yu stared at Lin Zheng and said nothing. Lin Zheng deliberately said, In your name, you have to fill in the relationship. If you dont fill in the siblings, 1 really cant think of anything suitable. Tsk The corners of Wei Yus lips twitched. Without looking at Pei Jiao, he said, Ill fill it in as my fiance for the time being. As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jiaos eyes widened.. Fiance? Chapter 662 - Chapter 662: Can’t Bear For Her To Leave (1) Chapter 662: Cant Bear For Her To Leave (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Seeing Pei Jiaos surprised reaction, Wei Yu was a little uncertain about her thoughts. He tried to ask, Do you mind? Pei Jiao did not say that she did mind, nor did she say that she did not mind. She reined in her surprise a little and smiled meaningfully. Why a fiance? Wei Yu looked at her intently. The closer the relationship, the faster this pass will be completed. Pei Jiao asked, Is that really the case? Wei Yu: Yeah. Lin Zheng saw through it but did not say anything. In any case, he did not expect to see Wei Yu lie in his lifetime. This little girl was really innocent. She just had to believe Wei Yus words. l think Pei Jiao smiled shyly. Its actually not that important whether youre my fiance or not. I want a pass to the base more. This was the truth. But to Wei Yu and Lin Zheng, it probably meant something else. She was probably tactfully indicating that she preferred the term fiance. Lin Zheng coughed lightly. Alright, with your current relationship and Wei Yus position in the base, Ill probably be able to get a pass in two days after I submit the information. Wei Yu said politely, Thank you. Its no trouble. Lin Zheng smiled happily. Its nothing. Helping others is a pleasure. Wei Yu knew what Lin Zheng was laughing about and did not reply. Oh, right, Lin Zheng said. Although I promised to apply for a pass for her, you must send me the most detailed information on her identity. As you know, the pass process is very strict. Before applying, you will investigate her identity. Wei Yu nodded. l know. Thats good. Lin Zheng nodded. When they left, Wei Yu naturally held Pei Jiaos hand and left. After the two of them came out and walked in silence for a while, Pei Jiao finally couldnt help but say, Wei Yu, youre holding my hand. Wei Yu looked a little unnatural. This is your first time here. Im afraid youll get lost if I dont hold your hand. Pei Jiao giggled and raised her chin. Am I that stupid in your eyes? Not stupid. Wei Yus voice was very soft. Im just a little worried. Just as he finished speaking, Pei Jiao moved closer to Wei Yu. This blocked Wei Yus way forward. He had no choice but to stop and look down at her. Pei Jiaos eyes were curved like crescent moons, and her entire face looked extremely bright. She didnt seem to have heard him clearly and wanted to confirm it with him, so she blocked his way. Whos more worried? Wei Yu stared at her beautiful eyes and did not answer. At this moment, Pei Jiao should not have asked further. However, she did not have to maintain her EQin front of Wei Yu, because from the looks of it, Wei Yu might prefer her to have no EQ. This was also why star students liked bad students. Because she was smart enough. As for the person she liked, she didnt have to be smart. It was most important to like her. Therefore, Pei Jiao insisted on asking, Why are you worried about me? Is it because you care about me? Or Wei Yu suddenly interrupted her. Theres no reason. Dont think too much. Then why did you apply for a pass for me? She deliberately brought this up. Wei Yu said, You dont want it? If you dont want it, Ill tell Minister Lin to withdraw the application. Hey, hey, hey. When did I say I didnt want it? she pouted. Wei Yu said, Then dont ask again. But Just as Pei Jiao was about to continue asking, Wei Yu grabbed Pei Jiaos hand and walked forward. Ill send you back first. Pei Jiao sighed and was pulled away by Wei Yu in a hurry. Dont walk so fast. Pei Jiao couldnt keep up. Wei Yu really slowed down. He did not bring Pei Jiao to his private lounge today. He sent her back to the accommodation building and even sent her to the door. Pei Jiao could not help but remember that in the past, Wei Yu would not send her personally at all. He would always ask Ji He to send her. Even if he sent her off once or twice, he would only send her to her dormitory and leave. He had been much more considerate recently. He would either carry her back in person, Or he would walk her to the door himself before going to work. Before he left, Pei Jiao stopped him. Wei Yu! Wei Yu turned to look at her and said nothing, waiting for her to speak. At this moment, his expression was not very gentle, but it was patient.. Chapter 663 - Chapter 663: Can’t Bear Her To Leave (2) Chapter 663: Cant Bear Her To Leave (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao leaned against the door frame and asked him with a smile, 1 still want to ask why you helped me apply for a pass. She didnt say anything in advance. She hadnt even guessed at all. Therefore, she was still a little surprised. Wei Yu did not give her a straight answer. He only said, Convenient. Convenient for what? He didnt say, nor did he give a more specific answer. Pei Jiao was puzzled, but she didnt ask again this time. She bit her lip and whispered to him, Thank you. Expressionless, Wei Yu turned to leave. Pei Jiao did not go in immediately. After watching Wei Yu leave, she came out and stood by the fence to look down. Wei Yu was already downstairs. He was not walking fast, as if sensing something. He slowly stopped, then looked up. The floor was not high, but their eyes were far apart. Pei Jiaos lips curled up and she smiled at him. Her facial features were as bright as lotuses, but this glance would always be remembered in Wei Yus heart in the future. He moved his lips and said something. Pei Jiao couldnt hear him, but she could read his lips. He was saying, Its cold outside. Go inside. Pei Jiao raised her hand and waved it, also mouthing words. Wei Yu saw it and finally smiled at her. Three days later, Pei Jiao received the base pass that Wei Yu had applied for her. With this pass, she could move freely around the base, but this freedom didnt mean anywhere on the base. It meant where most of the bases personnel could come and go. She could come and go as she pleased. Perhaps she had been restricted for too long. After Pei Jiao obtained this pass, she was like a monkey that had just been released from under the Five Fingers Mountain. As long as she could enter the entire base with the pass, she would take a walk. But often, because the base was too big, she wouldnt be able to find her way back if she went. Therefore, recently, Wei Yu would receive one or two calls every day asking him to pick her up. Gradually, it seemed that the entire base had tacitly agreed to Pei Jiao and Wei Yus relationship. For example, at this moment. Wei Yu was in a group meeting. Everyone present was an important member of the base. At the critical moment of the meeting, Wei Yu was also uploading the most critical design when his phone rang. Usually, at this time, Wei Yus phone was silent. But recently, because Pei Jiao was too noisy, Wei Yu would not turn his phone off even if he was in a meeting. Wei Yu picked up his phone and saw the caller ID. He looked up and said to everyone, Sorry, I have to take this call. Naturally, no one would mind. Ji Qingzhou couldnt help but tease, Some little troublemaker probably caused trouble again. Shes looking for her parents. Lin Zheng, who was sitting opposite Ji Qingzhou, said, Single dogs wont understand this joy. Ji Qingzhou sighed. Minister Lin, no personal attacks. Lin Zheng picked up the glass in front of him and lowered his head to take a sip of tea. He put it down and said, How can this be called a personal attack? This is for you to learn from Wei Yu. Look, Wei Yu, this iron tree, is already blooming. Why are you still putting that Makka Pakka down? Ji Qingzhou snorted. Its also fate that makes an iron tree bloom. However, Minister Lin, who did you learn Makka Pakka from? Speaking of this, Lin Zheng wanted to laugh. He lifted his chin in Wei Yus direction. Ji Qingzhou understood immediately. That girl is really straightforward and really knows how to make a fuss. She has a good personality and can complement Wei Yu. Lin Zheng could tell. Just wait and see. Wei Yu will be controlled by this girl sooner or later. Ji Qingzhou hissed. Why do I feel that Wei Yu has already been controlled to death without waiting to see? Just as he finished speaking, Wei Yu, who had finished the call, placed the information and blueprint USB in front of Ji Qingzhou. Ill leave it to you. I have something to deal with. Ji Qingzhou: A few minutes later, Wei Yu appeared in a forbidden area of the base. When the police officer guarding the place saw Wei Yu, he immediately walked over. Wei Yu saw the slender figure sitting on the steps and asked the police officer, Whats going on? The police officer explained, Dr. Wei, its like this. She wanted to go in just now. Weve already explained to her why she cant go in here, but she still wants to go in. We had to call you over. Wei Yu nodded, indicating that he understood the situation. He walked towards Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao had been sitting on the steps for a long time, When she saw Wei Yu, she was very happy. The corners of her mouth were almost reaching the back of her head. But when she noticed that Wei Yu had come with a straight face, the smile on her lips slowly faded. You came, she whispered. Wei Yu stood in front of her. Whats going on? His tone was also cold. He must be angry. Pei Jiao lowered her head and did not dare to look at him again. 1 missed you. I didnt have a cell phone to contact you, so I thought of this method. Actually, Im not going in. The police officer standing beside him was dumbfounded. You Wei Yu glanced sideways at the police officer, who immediately retracted his words. So be it. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wei Yu reached out to Pei Jiao. Pei Jiaos withered smile immediately returned to her lips. She placed her palm in Wei Yus hand. He exerted a little force and she was pulled up. Wei Yu, Wei Yu, my feet are numb. Pei Jiao could not stand steadily. Wei Yu asked expressionlessly, So? Pei Jiao whispered, Can you carry me? Wei Yu was unmoved. Pei Jiao looked disappointed and limped to the side. Forget it. 1 can walk by myself. Wei Yu grabbed her wrist. Pei Jiao shook him off angrily. Wei Yu walked to her side and bent down to carry her. When she was in Wei Yus arms, Pei Jiaos face was filled with joy. She reached out and hugged Wei Yus neck. l knew you would carry me. Wei Yu looked down at her. What if 1 dont carry you? Pei Jiao said firmly, Youll carry me. Wei Yu said, l spoil you too much. He was really spoiling her too much. By now, the entire base knew how close they were, but in fact, he had nothing to do with her. l didnt ask you to spoil me. Pei Jiao pretended to be obedient after taking advantage of him. You were the one who insisted on spoiling me. Wei Yu pretended to put Pei Jiao down. Alright, walk by yourself. Pei Jiao hugged Wei Yus neck tightly. No, no. Carry me back. The corners of Wei Yu t s lips curled imperceptibly. He turned around and said to the police officer, Sorry to trouble you. The officer nodded. Its what I should do. Then, Wei Yu carried Pei Jiao and left. After walking far away, Wei Yu asked her, Why do you want to see me? Didnt we just meet this morning? Its all because I miss you so much. An hour apart is like a day apart. Three hours apart is like three hundred days. Her tone was exaggerated to the point. However, Wei Yu reminded her with a straight face, Dont let it happen again. Although there have been many times. Pei Jiao asked, Did I cause you trouble? What do you think? he countered. Pei Jiao pouted. Then I wont bother you anymore. Wei Yus jaw tightened and he said nothing. Pei Jiao added, l also think this will cause you too much trouble, so I want to leave the base tomorrow. Just as she finished speaking, Wei Yu stopped in his tracks.. His face suddenly turned cold as he suppressed some emotion and asked her, You want to leave? Chapter 664 - Chapter 664: Together Chapter 664: Together Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao realized that Wei Yus expression had changed when she mentioned leaving. She couldnt tell if he was angry or something. She kicked her legs and said, Why dont you put me down? Wei Yu was silent for a few seconds before putting her down. Do you still remember the last time you asked me if I didnt miss my family? I told you about my family situation back then. I really dont want to go home, Pei Jiao said to him seriously. Wei Yu stared at her. Then why are you leaving now? Pei Jiao asked, Are you asking me? Wei Yu frowned slightly, not understanding what she meant. Forget it. Pei Jiao turned and walked forward. l dont want to talk to you anymore. The conversation ended before Wei Yu could even react. She walked quickly, but after taking a few steps, she was pulled back by Wei Yu and almost bumped into his arms. She barely stabilized herself and did not get too close to him. After she stabilized herself, she even deliberately took two steps back. Wei Yu saw this detail. There was no anger in his heart. His face turned cold for a moment, and even his tone was not very good. Speak clearly before you leave. Pei Jiao pretended not to understand. Her tone was colder than his. Say what? But Wei Yu asked her, Why dont you want to talk to me? Pei Jiao was speechless. She thought that he would ask her why she left, so was it because he had never been enlightened from the beginning to the end, or was his EQ really low?! She felt that it must be his low EQ. Theres nothing to tell. She made it as if to walk away again. But every time, Wei Yu pulled her back. After repeating it a few times, she was annoyed and shook off his hand. I have nothing to say. Let go of me. Wei Yu was not blind, so he could naturally tell that she was angry. He pursed his lips and was silent for a few seconds. Then, with some probing, he slowly reached over and held her hand. This time, Pei Jiao did not struggle to shake off his hand. She only looked up at him quietly. Wei Yu thought about it countless times before asking her carefully, Why are you leaving? When he asked her this, all of Wei Yus pride and nobility disappeared. Like a puppy about to be abandoned, he was carefully asking his master why he had abandoned him. Pei Jiao felt suffocated for no reason. In order not to get too caught up in this elusive emotion, she chose to ignore his expression at this moment and look away. Wei Yu did not get an answer from her, so he asked again, Why do you suddenly want to leave? Pei Jiao sighed, but she had no choice but to look at him. What do you think? Wei Yu guessed on his own. Because I did something to upset you? Pei Jiao suddenly wanted to laugh. What was going on? It was neither here nor there. Then what do you think you did? Pei Jiao echoed her question. Wei Yu was silent again, but his silence at this moment was not because he had nothing to say. Instead, he was seriously recalling if he had really done or said anything recently to upset her. But after thinking for a long time, Wei Yu could not remember anything. He had to ask, You can say it. If I did something wrong, Ill apologize. He sounded serious, not joking at all. Pei Jiao was angry and wanted to laugh. Seeing his serious attitude, she suppressed her laughter and said, Although I dont have a good relationship with my family, can you really not think of why I want to go home at this time? Wei Yu frowned. Pei Jiao continued, Ive been staying at the base and following behind you like a tail every day. Others must think that Im very thick-skinned and keep pestering you. At the mention of pestering him, she slowly lowered her eyes and said in a much softer voice, feeling a little inferior, Ive always been a carefree person. I dont care much about what others think or say about me. I dont care about my own reputation, but I have to care about yours. I might have been pestering you too much recently. There must be many people at the base who think were unclear. Everyone will suspect my character, which will affect you. Her emotions rose, and her nasal voice began to thicken. She sniffed and slowly turned around. I feel like Im only going to cause you trouble and ruin your reputation by being here, so Id better leave the base. You dont have to worry about where Ill go. Im just a rootless blade of grass. Ill rest wherever the wind blows. After she finished speaking, there was a change in Wei Yu e s tense face. Then he smiled, and his tone was noticeably lighter than before. So after all youve said, youre going to leave and cry. Dont you have anything specific to express? l dont have to say the details, she said. The two of them had been standing there for a long time, but there was no one else, so they would not be disturbed. Wei Yu pulled her over and hugged her. Pei Jiao poked his chest with her chin. It took a lot of effort to raise her face and press her chin against his shoulder. Why are you hugging me? Wei Yus low voice landed in her ear. What exactly? Pei Jiao bit her lip and remained silent. Wei Yu said, Do you want an answer specifically? Pei Jiao still bit her lip tightly and remained silent. Wei Yus deep voice was mixed with amusement. Then Ill give you this answer. Pei Jiao was stunned. Huh? At this moment, Wei Yu suddenly let go of her. Before Pei Jiao could react, Wei Yu cupped her chin and lowered his head to kiss her. Pei Jiao did not react at first and wanted to do something. But when she saw him duck his head, she reacted immediately. Her head moved back and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened as she looked at him in confusion. Wei Yu had no intention of stopping here. The hand under her chin moved to the back of her neck, then his fingertips pressed forward slightly, forcing her to look up. His kiss landed just like that. This kiss was Pei Jiaos first time awake. The last time she fell asleep when she was drunk, she did not know how Wei Yu kissed her or how long it lasted. She did not have any experience, so when she woke up, she realized that her lips were swollen. And at this moment, she was so awake. Pei Jiao struggled for a moment, but she was surprised to find that she did not seem to reject his kiss that much. No, no. They had only been together for a short time. She could not let herself fall easily. Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain. Pei Jiao pushed him away with all her might and took a few steps back. Why did you kiss me? Wei Yu licked his lips and stared at her with his dark eyes. Do you hate it? Pei Jiao frowned slightly. l dont hate it. Its just too sudden. Fei Yi, lets be together. He said suddenly. Pei Jiao was stunned at first, then right on the heels of it, she looked at him in surprise, He observed the reaction. Do you think Im joking? Pei Jiao hesitated. Is it not a joke? Its not a joke. Wei Yu sounded very serious when he said this to her. Not only is it not a joke, but its not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Its a deliberate decision. I want to be with you. If this was a confession, it seemed too formal. But from Wei Yus mouth, that was the only way it sounded normal. Pei Jiao asked again with uncertainty, Do you really want to be with me? Yes, very much. Wei Yu was obviously nervous. So are you willing? Pei Jiao suddenly smiled. But Wei Yu didnt know if she was smiling because she was happy or because of something else, so he felt even more apprehensive. Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Pei Jiao suddenly stepped forward. She stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around Wei Yus neck. Like a dragonfly skimming the water, she kissed the corner of his lips. Wei Yu was a little stunned. This made his heart beat faster than his proactive KISS. Pei Jiao had yet to let go. She looked at him and said to him, Ive been waiting for this day for a long time.. Chapter 665 - Chapter 665: Trust Her With All His Heart Chapter 665: Trust Her With All His Heart Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When she said that she had been waiting for this day for a long time, only she knew what it really meant. But to Wei Yu, it sounded like she had chased him for a long time before she finally got a response from him. Therefore, he was ashamed. His arm slowly tightened around her lower back and pressed her tightly into his arms. 1 1 wont disappoint you. His voice was gentle. Although Pei Jiao had seen his gentle side many times recently, they were not as gentle as at this moment. Moreover, it was not only gentle. Pei Jiao could also feel his cherishment. She raised her hand and wrapped it around his waist. This was a gesture of hugging him back. Then, in a voice only the two of them could hear, she asked, Wei Yu, are we boyfriend and girlfriend now? Wei Yu curled his lips and said with a smile in his voice, Yes. Pei Jiao sniffed in his arms to express how excited she was. She murmured to herself, Wei Yu, I feel like Im dreaming. Its not a dream, he said. He knew that if he responded, he would make her very happy, but he didnt expect her to be so happy. He suddenly felt like a jerk. He shouldnt have let her wait so long. Especially every time she looked at him expectantly, he never officially responded to her. However, his selfishness did not want her to leave, so he kept her in the way he thought was right. In fact, he disappointed her again and again. At the thought of this, Wei Yus mind cleared up. He also understood that he could not let her worry about personal gains and losses anymore. He held her tightly in his arms, not wanting to let go for a moment. With all the seriousness he could muster, he said to her, Fei Yi, nothing I said to you today, including taking the initiative to kiss you, was impulsive. I want to say to you that Im serious. I want to be with you very seriously. And now, were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. After hearing him finish, Pei Jiao smiled faintly. She also responded to him with a serious attitude. Wei Yu, I know how you feel. They were both in their first relationship in elementary school. They probed each other. They were a little talkative and a little childish. After that, Wei Yu personally sent Pei Jiao back to the dormitory. Before leaving, Wei Yu restrained himself from kissing Pei Jiao and only said a few words. However, Pei Jiao accidentally teased him. In the end, Wei Yu could not restrain himself. He pressed Pei Jiao against the door and kissed her for a while. Pei Jiao almost couldnt breathe before letting go of her. Pei Jiao felt her mouth go numb and her back hurt. That feeling was really high and easy to fall for. She scolded herself with a frown as she raised her hand to her back and rubbed her aching shoulder blades. Seeing her movements, Wei Yu suddenly remembered that he had pressed her against the door and kissed her for a long time. Her back rubbed against the door and it probably hurt a little. He calmed his slightly erratic breathing and his voice was still hoarse. Does it hurt? Pei Jiao nodded delicately. Wei Yu went up, and reached out to replace her hand. Is it here? Pei Jiao said, A little above. On the shoulder blade. Wei Yu found the right spot and massaged her back shoulder blade neither gently nor forcefully. Sorry. He didnt stop what he was doing. His gentle voice fell to her ear. Next time, Ill pay attention to how you feel. Who wants a next time? Pei Jiao sounded a little shy. Wei Yus arm seemed to be much lighter. Cant I kiss you next time? Pei Jiao stomped her feet. Aiya. It was a very embarrassing topic, but he insisted on asking it in all seriousness. Moreover, Pei Jiao was no longer pretending to be shy. She was really a little shy. This was her first time in a relationship, even though it was premeditated. However, Wei Yu had no intention of stopping here. It would be too cruel to me if you only give me a kiss this once. Pei Jiao looked up and asked, Then how did you live before we got together? Before Wei Yu could answer, Pei Jiao answered her own question. Sigh, look at what Im saying. Its as if youve never been in a relationship before we got together. Look at how good you are, how handsome, and how outstanding you are. Your previous girlfriend must have been very outstanding and beautiful, right? Wei Yu couldnt help but laugh at her sour tone. Where did you hear that I used to have a girlfriend who was outstanding and beautiful? Why didnt I know? Pei Jiao was surprised. Have you never had a girlfriend before? No. He shook his head in denial. Pei Jiaos heart was beating faster and she was not sure. Wei Yu had been overseas for many years. Moreover, his external qualities were indeed outstanding. It was impossible that he had never had a girlfriend. Hey, hey, hey, stop. What was the point of thinking so much? It didnt matter if hed had a girlfriend in the past. Even if hed had a dozen or a hundred, it had nothing to do with her. Now, she was just pretending to ask. Pei Jiao became serious. So, you really havent had another girlfriend before me? Wei Yu replied firmly, No. Pei Jiao looked skeptical. 1 1 cant believe youve never been in love before Is that strange? he asked. A little. Pei Jiao gestured and smiled happily. It feels like Ive earned it. Wei Yu laughed. Youve earned it. What about me? Pei Jiao pretended not to understand. You what? Wei Yu pulled back his hand from massaging her back shoulder blade. Nothing. He had no intention of continuing the conversation. Because he was afraid that if he knew she had a wonderful past, he wouldnt be able to help being jealous. At this moment, his phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was Ji Qingzhou. He picked up the call. Pei Jiao was very close to him and could hear Ji Qingzhous voice coming from the phone. When Wei Yu finished the call, she quickly urged him, Go back quickly, Ive delayed your work. No delays. Think of it as giving me a break, he said gently. Then you have to go back now, right? I vaguely hear that Dr. Ji t s tone is a little anxious, as if the current matter needs you to go back and deal with it. Pei Jiao was very understanding. You cant not go to work because of me. In the eyes of others, Ill be a demon concubine who causes chaos. Wei Yu found her description very novel. Demon Concubine? Pei Jiao said, Demon Concubine is not good. I want to work hard to become your good wife. These words touched Wei Yus heart. He smiled, and it wasnt just the corners of his lips. There was a gentle smile in the corners of his eyes. Okay, Ill go back for a while. Ill pick you up for dinner when Im done, he said. Pei Jiao nodded. Okay, Ill wait for you obediently. Theres no need to be obedient. Do whatever you want. Ill come back as soon as Im done. With that, Wei Yu leaned over and kissed her forehead naturally. Just as he was about to leave, Pei Jiao suddenly stopped him. Wei Yu, can you let me use your phone? She was trying. She wanted to see how much Wei Yu trusted her now. Without any hesitation, Wei Yu took out his cell phone from his pocket and handed it to Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao did not take it. Her reaction was a little wooden. Arent you worried? However, Wei Yu asked her, What am 1 worried about? Worried that Id mess around with your cell phone. She observed his expression. Wei Yu laughed. As long as youre not messing around. She immediately assured him, l definitely wont mess around. After making the promise, she didnt forget to be honest with him. l lied to you last time when I told you I didnt remember my home number. Wei Yu said, l know. You know? She was surprised. She had the suspicion that shed been hiding it well, but hed seen through her at a glance. Wei Yu said, Youve just arrived in an unfamiliar place. Youre on guard against me and everyone. Its normal to pretend that your memory isnt good. Pei Jiao said, Then Its nothing. Wei Yu stuffed the phone into her hand with relief. Use whatever you want.. Chapter 666 - Chapter 666: Raising the Bargain To Flirt With Him (1) Chapter 666: Raising the Bargain To Flirt With Him (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Wei Yu left, Pei Jiao immediately closed the door and locked it. She leaned against the door and looked down at the phone she had just received. An extremely carefree feeling made her exhale an even more carefree breath. She laughed. She smiled especially happily. But soon, she couldnt smile anymore, because she seemed to have forgotten to ask Wei Yu what the screen lock was. Tsk! Why was she so careless? Perhaps she was too excited. Pei Jiao quickly opened the door and walked out. At this moment, Wei Yu returned. The two of them were caught off guard and Pei Jiao smiled awkwardly. Did you come back to tell me the password to your cell phone? Wei Yu nodded. Sorry, I forgot to tell you just now. Pei Jiao walked up to him and handed him the phone. Then unlock it. She made a show of not intending to pry into his privacy at all. However, Wei Yu did not take the cell phone. He only said to her, Ill read it. You enter the password. Pei Jiao shook her head. The screen lock is your privacy. Besides, Im just calling home. You just need one moment to unlock the phone. You dont have to tell me the password. The screen lock is private, but not in front of you. Wei Yu gestured to her. Enter it. Pei Jiao bit her lip and snickered. Then, she listened to him and opened the screen. After Wei Yu finished reading the password, she successfully unlocked the screen. The other software doesnt have a password. Theres money on WeChat. If you want to buy Oh, look at my memory. Forget that money cant do anything here. With that, Wei Yu suddenly thought of something. He took out his wallet from his pocket and handed Pei Jiao a card. This card is for you. Pei Jiao recognized the card Wei Yu handed her at a glance. She took it and asked, Is it the card the police officer gave me when I went to look for you that day? Yes, Wei Yu replied. This isnt a bank card, but you can spend whatever you want at the base. With that, he looked at her and smiled gently. Dont worry about expenditure. Theres enough. Pei Jiao pouted. Youre almost giving me all your belongings. l want to give you more, and do my best, Wei Yu said to her. Even if this sentence was not directed at Pei Jiao, it was undoubtedly fatally seductive to any woman. Pei Jiao automatically classified these words as flowery words in her mind. She waved the cell phone in her hand. If you continue, a day will pass. Hurry up and go back to work. Otherwise, youll be delayed. Wei Yu looked at her deeply and nodded. Then, he turned to leave. This time he was really gone. Pei Jiaos face regained its expressionlessness. She held her cell phone and entered, locking the door again. Although she knew that Wei Yu would not come back again, it was better to be careful. Pei Jiao took her phone to the window in the house. Currently, the screen has been relocked. She entered it again according to the password Wei Yu had just mentioned and unlocked it successfully. Pei Jiao noticed that this cell phone was different from the one Wei Yu had used to test her in the canteen last time. It was just that the colors looked similar. Moreover, there was very little software in this phone, and there were few phone numbers in the address book. There were notes under the surname Wei, as well as notes under the name Mom and Dad. From all the signs, this seemed to be the phone Wei Yu usually used. But her intuition told Pei Jiao that something was still wrong. In her suspicion, she checked the cell phone signal first. The signal wasnt good, but it wasnt bad. Pei Jiao closed her eyes and made some plans. After about ten seconds, she did not act rashly until the cell phone screen turned black. In the end, Pei Jiao took her phone to the bathroom. She turned on the tap and filled the basin with water. When the water was about to overflow, she threw Wei Yus phone into the basin. There was a thud. It was the sound of the cell phone falling into the water. Pei Jiaos face was as cold as ice. She waited quietly for two to three minutes before slowly taking Wei Yus phone out of the basin filled with water. The cell phone kept dripping water. Pei Jiao took a tissue and dried the outside of the phone before turning to leave. She found Ji He, whom she had not seen for a few days. At that moment, the coldness on her face had long been replaced by nervousness. Seeing that she was about to cry, Ji He quickly walked over and asked, Miss Fei Yi, whats wrong? Who bullied you? Pei Jiao shook her head. No one bullied me. Ji He looked puzzled. Then what are you? Pei Jiao lowered her head and handed Wei Yus phone to Ji He. Wei Yu gave me the phone so that I could call my family, but I accidentally dropped it into the water.. What should I do Chapter 667 - Chapter 667: Raising the Bargain To Flirt With Him (2) Chapter 667: Raising the Bargain To Flirt With Him (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At this point, Pei Jiaos tone was clearly crying. So what if it fell into the water? Its not a big deal. Its really not that big of a deal. Ji He quickly took the cell phone and comforted her. Pei Jiao sobbed and asked, Is it really fine? The phone was already switched off when 1 pulled it out of the water. I dont know if it can be repaired. Will we not be able to find the information Wei Yu usually keeps in his phone? Its fine, its really fine. Ji He looked at the cell phone as he comforted Pei Jiao and said, This is only Young Masters spare cell phone. He rarely uses it. Theres no important information on it. Dont blame yourself too much. Pei Jiao narrowed her eyes. Then I didnt cause him any trouble? No, dont worry, Ji He said in a guaranteed tone. After hearing this, Pei Jiao felt better, but she still sounded a little guilty. Wei Yu only gave me his phone today and asked me to contact my family. In the end, I was too careless. I went to the bathroom and got the phone into the water. Im such a person. Im always careless and cant do anything well. Miss Fei Yi, dont think like that. Its fine even if this cell phone cant be turned on. Young Master doesnt use it much. Im basically the one who keeps his cell phone At this point, Ji He realized that he seemed to have said too much. He raised his hand to scratch the back of his head and laughed dryly. Anyway, you dont have to blame yourself, really. Besides, Young Master has already given you his phone to use. He wont be angry even if its crushed. Thats all for now. Ill take the phone and dismantle it to see if the water in it is serious. Pei Jiao said, Then regardless of whether the cell phone is fixed or not, can you send it over? I have to explain it to Wei Yu personally. Of course theres no problem, Ji He said in a promising tone. Pei Jiao nodded politely at Ji He. Thank you, Assistant He. It was still this form of address, and Ji He couldnt help but laugh out loud. He smiled and replied, Miss Fei Yi, go back and wait. Ill dismantle it very quickly. According to you, Ill send it back to you regardless of whether theres a problem. Alright. After that, Pei Jiao went back. Seeing that Pei Jiao had left, Ji He immediately took out another cell phone and called Wei Yus laboratory. After the call went through, before Ji He could speak, he heard Wei Yu ask him, Whats wrong with the cell phone? Ji He thought that Young Master really knew. On second thought, since Young Master would give the phone to Miss Fei Yi, he naturally would not let her do whatever she wanted. This was also to be safe. Ji He told Wei Yu the exact situation. After hearing this, Wei Yu said, Fix the phone and send it to her as soon as possible. If the phone is too damaged to recover, change to an identical cell phone. Ji He looked at the cell phone in his hand. Young Master, the damage in this cell phone is a little serious. I can only try my best to fix it. Wei Yu: Okay. Pei Jiao returned to the accommodation building and waited for nearly two hours. Finally, Ji He knocked on the door. Pei Jiao opened the door and saw Ji He standing outside. She quickly welcomed him in. Assistant He, come in and talk. l wont go in. I came here specially to give you a cell phone. The water intake of the cell phone isnt serious. Its been tested. Theres no problem. It can be used normally. With that, Ji He handed the phone back to Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao took it and looked at it. She thanked Ji He very sincerely. Thank you so much, Assistant He. Its all my fault for being careless. The repairs have delayed you for so long. These are all things I should do. Ji He was afraid that Pei Jiao would continue to thank him. After explaining everything, he quickly left. After Ji He left, Pei Jiao was in no hurry to close the door. She checked her cell phone against the light outside. After roughly checking, she entered her original password and unlocked it. The page was the same as before, and so were all the records. However, Pei Jiao was so professional that she could tell the difference after checking it twice. It looked exactly the same as the original cell phone, but it was actually another cell phone. Bastard man Pei Jiao gritted her teeth. You say it so sincerely, but in fact, youre using a phone that has been monitored. Mens mouths were indeed liars. Although she was very angry, Pei Jiao quickly composed herself after being angry.. Chapter 668 - Chapter 668: Raising the Bargain To Flirt With Him (3) Chapter 668: Raising the Bargain To Flirt With Him (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At this point, everything was logical. Wei Yu had a pivotal position in the base, so he could not do anything as he pleased. The pass card was meant to make things easier for her. It was also a silent trap. Nothing happened to her if she behaved. If she didnt behave, she would fall into this trap. Although she had a fake identity, it did not make sense when Wei Yu picked her up in the mountains. In addition, she had never explained why she appeared at that place in the middle of the night. Even though Wei Yu had a good impression of her now, liking her did not conflict with suspecting her identity. It had to be said that Wei Yu was really meticulous. Even in a relationship, he was wary of her. At the thought of this, Pei Jiao suddenly smiled. She was already caught between a rock and a hard place. She did not expect to go all out to increase her chips. She had to get out as soon as possible. It was almost six in the afternoon. Wei Yu came out of the laboratory after he was done with everything. Young Master, I ironed the clothes. Ji He walked over with a coat. Wei Yu nodded and took off his white work clothes. He took the jacket from Ji He and put it on. After putting it on, he deliberately looked at himself in the mirror and turned to ask Ji He, How is it? Ji He was stunned for a few seconds. Young Master, what do you mean? Wei Yu said, The condition and clothes. Ji He was stunned again. Wei Yu frowned. Not good? No, no, Ji He immediately said. Young Master, youre in a good state and youre also handsome. Youre simply better-looking than Pan An and Song Yu. Usually, when Wei Yu came out of the laboratory, he would change into his coat and leave. There was nothing wrong with him asking about his clothes, let alone looking for a mirror. Was he dating Miss Fei Yi? However, Ji He always felt from the bottom of his heart that it was impossible for Young Master to fall in love easily. This was because Young Master had always been a workaholic in Ji Hes eyes. He was not interested in anything other than work. If he had any interest in Miss Fei Yi recently, it would definitely be temporary. It was impossible for it to rise to the level of dating. Otherwise, it would be too scary. Thats nice, but what kind of expression is that? Wei Yu noticed that the expression on Ji Hes face was a little too vivid. Ji He wanted to explain. l Forget it, cut the crap. Wei Yu was not in the mood to listen to Ji Hes nonsense. He asked, Did she go out again in the afternoon after she returned to the accommodation building? Ji He asked. Are you referring to Miss Fei Yi? Wei Yu: Mm. Ji He immediately replied, No. I changed the cell phone and sent it to Miss Fei Yi. She didnt leave the house again in the afternoon. Wei Yu nodded, indicating that he knew. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Ji He, In the future, when Grandma calls again, tell her that Im very busy Ji He immediately said, l know. Ill tell the Matriarch that youre very busy with work. Ill say this every time the Matriarch calls. Dont worry, Young Master. Im not done. Wei Yu looked at Ji He. Ji He blinked. Young Master has a new excuse? Wei Yu smiled gently. Next time, say that Im busy dating. Ji Hes jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock. Disbelief and doubt were written all over his face. Wei Yu ignored Ji Hes reaction and turned to leave. Ji He came back to his senses and hurriedly followed. Young Master, Young Master, you said that you were busy dating. Who are you dating? Wei Yu walked a little faster. He could not wait to see her. When he heard Ji He ask him curiously, Wei Yus lips twitched and he chuckled. Who do you think it was with? The reason why Ji He asked who he was dating was subconsciously. Actually, he knew very well who Young Master was dating. It was none other than Miss Fei Yi. Ji He swallowed and said, But Young Master, you clearly installed a listening device on her phone. Wei Yu stopped in his tracks. Ji He immediately stopped in his tracks. Wei Yu glanced sideways at Ji He with cold eyes. My dating her has nothing to do with my suspicion of her identity. Even if theres really something wrong with her identity, Ill settle it. Im doing this to protect her. Ji He suddenly understood. l understand. Even though he understood, Ji He was still very shocked that Young Master suddenly fell in love. When Ji He came back to his senses, the young master was already far away. Before Wei Yu returned to the dormitory, he specially went to buy a mousse cupcake. It was strawberry. In addition, he went to buy some strawberries and blueberries. When he returned with the fruits and cake, he stood outside the door and knocked. No one answered after he knocked a few times. He frowned and shouted, Fei Yi? No one answered. He called her name a few more times. Still no answer. Finally, he entered the password. The house was empty. There was no sign of her. After the last time she was drunk, Wei Yu was sure that she should be in the house, so he put down the things and went to look for her. Then there was a click. It was the sound of the bathroom door opening. The moment Wei Yu heard the sound, his tense nerves eased. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around. You When he turned and saw her coming out of the bathroom, wet and wrapped in a towel, everything in the world paled and he was speechless. Pei Jiaos hair was still wet, and she was only wrapped in a towel. Moreover, this towel was not very long. It reached her chest and covered her thighs. Her exposed skin had not been completely dried, and water rolled down her fair skin. It was really like hugging a pipa and half covering her face. After watching for a moment, Wei Yu l s breathing became chaotic. In a brief state of speechlessness, he looked at her without blinking. Pei Jiaos reaction was clearly very uneasy, especially with Wei Yus gaze. Not only was she uneasy, but she was also a little frightened and was trying to slowly retreat to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, when she retreated, she did not notice her feet.. Her left foot stepped on the heel of her right slipper and she fell unprepared Chapter 669 - Chapter 669: Unless You Don’t Want Me (1) Chapter 669: Unless You Dont Want Me (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao calculated the time Wei Yu would return. But it was later than expected. She lay in the bathtub for a long time, waiting until she almost fell asleep. In a daze, she heard Wei Yu calling her. She suddenly woke up and quickly got out of the bathtub. She wrapped a towel around her and opened the bathroom door. At first, she didnt think too much when she planned to do this, including implementing it without hesitation. But the moment she really walked out wrapped in a towel and met Wei Yus eyes, she almost visibly panicked. Her body reacted instinctively and retreated. Unexpectedly, she was so unlucky that she accidentally stepped on the heel of her slippers when she retreated. She suddenly lost her balance and fell backward. The expected pain didnt come. In her panic, she realized that Wei Yu had pulled her back so that she did not fall. To her surprise, Wei Yu respected her very much. After pulling her back in time, he looked elsewhere and did not take advantage ot this moment to see her naked. Even though he was already her boyfriend. Are you all right? he asked her urgently, his gaze flicking to the other side. Pei Jiao was still a little shocked. She used Wei Yus arm to slowly stand up straight from his arms. She shook her head and realized that he could not see her when he looked away, so she replied, Im fine. I was just frightened. Wei Yus frown eased a little when he heard her say that she was fine. The fragrance of the shower lingered between them. But they were both warm. Pei Jiao had been frightened just now, and Wei Yu was not much better. Although he pulled her back immediately, he was still a little afraid. He was afraid that if she fell, the situation would definitely be very serious. At this moment, Wei Yu had one hand on Pei Jiaos lower back and the other clenched into a fist to prevent his fingers from accidentally touching skin that he shouldnt have touched. His voice wasnt quite steady. Stand still and straighten your towel. Ill get you a bathrobe. Pei Jiao did not respond. She only moved her arm. Wei Yu immediately said, Dont move either. Pei Jiao stuck out her tongue and obediently stopped moving. Okay. After she stood up, Wei Yu turned around and went to the bedroom. Soon he came out of the bedroom with a flannel bathrobe. Like before, he didnt dare look at her directly. He held out his hand and looked down so that he could tell the direction of the bathroom, so that he wouldnt bump into the wall and embarrass himself. Put it on first. He reached out and handed her the bathrobe. Pei Jiao said, Come closer. Wei Yu did not think much of it and took half a step forward. Pei Jiao said, Come a little closer. Wei Yu took another half step. Pei Jiao suppressed a smile. Wei Yu, I still cant reach it. Why dont you come closer? The first time might be a little far, the second time might really be a little short. The third time would be when Wei Yu realized that he had been deceived. Shed done it on purpose. Wei Yu looked at the distance between his feet and her and smiled. In the end, he opened the bathrobe in his hand and wrapped it around her. Covering the scenery, he could finally raise his eyes to look at her squarely. Meeting her smiling almond-shaped eyes, Wei Yus heart almost skipped a beat, but he remained calm. He asked her, On purpose? Pei Jiaos hair was still wet. After the shock, her body cooled for a moment. Now, she finally felt some heat return. She gripped the bathrobe in front of her with both hands and looked like she was about to laugh. Nothing deliberate. Maybe it was inadvertent. Wei Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. Then can I take that accident just now as an accident? Pei Jiao bit her lip. It was really an accident just now. l know it was an accident. I was just teasing you. Wei Yu pulled her closer and tightened his bathrobe. Go back to the bedroom and dry yourself and change. When you come out, Ill blow-dry your hair. Well have cake later. Pei Jiaos eyes lit up when she heard about the cake. You even bought a cake? Wei Yu nodded. l guess youll like it. Pei Jiao ignored the fact that the bathrobe she was wrapped in was not tight and leaned towards Wei Yu. You guessed right. I really like cake. She leaned forward, causing spring to suddenly burst out. Wei Yu immediately looked away. Although he reacted quickly, it was inevitable that he saw some erotic scenes After experiencing the uncontrollable feeling of his aura being in chaos, his pupils were as deep as a pool of water. When he spoke again, his voice became a little hoarse.. Did you do it on purpose this time? Chapter 670 - Chapter 670: Unless You Don’t Want Me (2) Chapter 670: Unless You Dont Want Me (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao clutched her chest. No, I was careless. Fei Yi. He whispered her name, Pei Jiao looked up at him. Wei Yu said, Im a normal man. Dont always flirt with me, or youll regret it. Pei Jiao felt very aggrieved. Youre the one who cant stand being teased. How can you blame me? Besides, I was really careless. It wasnt on purpose. Also, how could I have thought that you would come back just in time for me to take a shower? I think you deliberately came back at this time to watch a beauty leave the shower. She only looked aggrieved. When she said this, she did not feel aggrieved at all. Wei Yu couldnt help but laugh. Are you making false counter charges? Not at all. Im being honest, she said stubbornly. Wei Yu did not argue with her. He gathered her bathrobe around her and urged, Go in and change first. Oh. Obediently, she went back to the bedroom and spent two or three minutes changing before coming out. Wei Yu had already taken the hairdryer out of the drawer and plugged it in. Seeing her come out, he reached out to her. Come and sit here. Pei Jiao walked over and sat down at the seat Wei Yu pointed at. Wei Yu picked up the hairdryer with one hand and lifted her wet hair behind her with the other, preparing to blow on it. At this moment, Pei Jiao suddenly shouted, Wait. Wei Yu looked down at her. Pei Jiao turned around and showed Wei Yu the dark brown bottle in her hand. You have to apply this before drying your hair. Wei Yu couldnt tell what it was at a glance. He took it from Pei Jiao and looked at it. Then, he read the words from the bottle. Immaculate hair care oil? Pei Jiao nodded. Yes, I said I needed it last time. Wen Qiong brought it for me. I think its very useful. I always apply it on my hair after washing it. When she finished, she reached over, ready to take the conditioner oil back. Wei Yu said, Theres no instructions on the bottle. It must be on the packaging. Just tell me how to use it. Ill help you apply it. Pei Jiao was stunned. Youre going to help me apply hair care essential oil? l can try, Wei Yu said. If I learn it this time, I can help you in the future. Pei Jiao chuckled. Its not easy to learn. Alright, Ill teach you. Wei Yu asked for guidance in a serious manner. He would drip as many drops as Pei Jiao said. Then, he applied the haircare essential oil to her hair according to every step she had mentioned. When it was evenly applied, he picked up the hairdryer and dried her hair. This was the first time Wei Yu had done these things. He did it very seriously, not perfunctory at all. When he dried her hair, he was too careful, afraid that the hot wind would burn her, so it took him a long time to blow it dry. The buzzing was too noisy. Pei Jiao couldnt talk to him and almost fell asleep. When the wind finally stopped, Pei Jiao opened her eyes and asked, Are you done? Wei Yu put down the hairdryer and said, Done. Pei Jiao moved her head. After her hair was dry, her entire head felt much lighter. Behind her, Wei Yu touched her hair lovingly and said, This hair care essential oil smells very good. Do you like it? Pei Jiao stood up and turned around. Wei Yu nodded. Pei Jiao said, Then Ill get another bottle from Wen Qiong? No need. Wei Yu shook his head. He pulled her to the sofa and sat down. He took out the cake and strawberries. Pei Jiaos eyes lit up when she saw the cake. Wei Yu handed her a spoon. Try it. Dont finish it. Leave some room for dinner. l think after eating this cake, we wont have to eat dinner anymore. Pei Jiao took the spoon. She did not eat the first spoonful of cake herself. She fed it to Wei Yu first. Wei Yu was about to say that he still had to eat dinner when she fed him the mousse cake and waited expectantly for him to open his mouth. He didnt like cakes and desserts. But shed fed him personally. He wouldnt refuse, so he opened his mouth and ate. It was very sweet, so sweet that one would feel sick if they took another bite, but this was only for people like him who didnt like cake, Pei Jiao immediately asked him, How is it? Wei Yus lips curved. Its delicious. Its definitely delicious, but from your expression, I dont think you like sweet food that much. You actually pretended to be calm and answered that its delicious. Pei Jiao put down the spoon and handed the cup of plain water beside her to Wei Yu. Drink some water to wash away the sweetness. Wei Yu looked at her quietly. Seeing that he did not react, Pei Jiao asked, Is it not sweet anymore? Wei Yu said softly, Sweet, very sweet. Sweet to the core. These words of love were quite good. Pei Jiao put the cup of warm water back and picked up the spoon. l want to try how sweet it is. Its so sweet that it hurts. When the cake entered her mouth, it was smooth and delicate. The sweetness overflowed on her tongue. It was really delicious. Wei Yu actually didnt like sweet things. He was really unlucky. She thought so. She heard Wei Yu say, How can you tell at a glance that I dont like sweet things? Pei Jiao said, Emotions dont lie. It was really obvious at a glance that he was resistant to sweets. Pei Jiao really liked sweet food. The sweeter she ate, the better her mood would be. As she ate, she asked him, l heard you call me in the bathroom just now. You sounded quite anxious. Did you think I ran away? Wei Yu said, No. Pei Jiao pursed her lips. Then why are you shouting so loudly? Youre quite nervous. Wei Yu took a tissue and reached over to wipe a little cream from the corner of her mouth. His actions were so natural that Pei Jiao was stunned. He seemed to be doing something ordinary. When he was done, he gripped the tissue in his palm. l didnt tind you the last time in the private lounge. I really thought youd run away, but today Im sure you didnt leave. Just because I didnt leave last time doesnt mean I wont leave this time. Youre so sure Pei Jiao said to him, You trust your judgment too much. With that, Pei Jiao took another big bite of cake. Wei Yu looked at Pei Jiao intently and asked, Then will you leave me? Pei Jiaos puffed-up cheeks suddenly stopped. She made a strange expression. It wasnt easy for me to woo you. How could I bear to abandon you? Im the one who should be worried, okay? One day, when you fall in love with someone else, you might ruthlessly kick me away. No. Wei Yu shook his head. Unless you dont want me.. Chapter 671 - Chapter 671: Passionate Love (1) Chapter 671: Passionate Love (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao did not listen to anything else. Only Wei Yus words, unless you dont want me, were in her mind. But the conversation didnt continue. She didnt eat the cake again. Instead, she took two strawberries and said to him, Come on, lets go to dinner. Wei Yu put away the cake and prepared to throw it away. Pei Jiao stopped him. Dont throw it away. Put it in the fridge. Well eat it for supper later. Eat this for supper? He had no intention of not wanting her to eat supper, but he felt that it was a little shabby to eat the remaining cake for supper. Pei Jiao pursed her lips. Im used to it. Seeing that Wei Yu was about to say something, Pei Jiao smiled at him. Its nothing. Its a fact that my family background is not good, so theres nothing to hide. Even if you didnt check my identity, I would have told you the truth about my family. When she said this, Pei Jiaos expression was extremely calm. Im used to living a tight life since I was young, so I am always subconsciously Wei Yu placed his hand on her shoulder. Alright. He stopped her from continuing. Pei Jiao smiled bitterly. l just want to tell you frankly. l know, he said. Pei Jiao looked up at Wei Yu and asked carefully, Then will you mind my not- so- good family background? For a moment, Wei Yu did not know what to say. He didnt mind. He didnt mind at all. From the moment he was sure that he liked her, he had accepted everything about her from the bottom of his heart. He did not care about her bad family background at all. His heart would only ache. But he knew he couldnt say these words of heartache. They would hurt her pride, so in the end, he said nothing and pulled her into his arms. Pei Jiao could feel the sense of security in his arms. She smiled. Wei Yu, I like you so much. In the next few days, as long as Wei Yu was not working, Pei Jiao would almost always be by his side. Gradually, everyone in the base knew that the two of them were in a passionate relationship. Wei Yu never liked to be secretive. When he was in a relationship, he would talk openly. He would never wrong Pei Jiao, so every time someone asked, he would directly say that Pei Jiao was his girlfriend. Pei Jiao seemed to have fallen in love too. Every day, Wei Yu would bring her all kinds of small surprises. Ever since the two of them officially became boyfriend and girlfriend, Wei Yu had not done anything out of line other than kissing. He really respected her. He would definitely restrain himself from anything other than kissing. However, it was precisely because he was too restrained that he could kiss Pei Jiao until she lacked oxygen every time. Pei Jiao was really worried that she would be kissed to death one day. She told Wei Yu her worries, making him laugh uncontrollably. He reached over and flicked her brow with his fingertips. Whats on your mind all day? Its not that Im imagining things. Theres really an example. Pei Jiao said seriously, l remember reading a report in the past that boyfriends loved to kiss too much and kissed their girlfriends to death. Wei Yu: Wei Yu began to doubt his life. He looked at her quietly for a long moment, and his reaction seemed to be one of anger and amusement. So? Pei Jiao crossed her arms in front of her. In order to maintain the novelty of love, I can only kiss you once a day. Wei Yu asked again, Does that start now or today? Pei Jiao even thought about it seriously. Weve already kissed twice today, so it wont start from now. It will start today. Wei Yu rested his chin on his hand and looked solemn. Isnt that a little harsh? You call that harsh? Pei Jiao crossed her arms and raised her chin proudly. She snorted. If this is considered harsh, it must be because youve never seen true harshness. Why? Do you want to see it? No need. Wei Yu waved his raised finger. Ill pay attention to this problem. Pei Jiao smiled proudly. Thats more like it. Wei Yu did not have work this afternoon, so he accompanied Pei Jiao for the entire afternoon. There were not many places to play in the base, so Wei Yu brought Pei Jiao to the base tower once. From there, she could see the entire base. After Pei Jiao followed Wei Yu to the tower, she was so surprised that her mouth did not close. l thought 1 had already seen the entire base in your private lounge last time. So this is the best place to observe the entire base.. Chapter 672 - Chapter 672: Chapgter 672: Passionate Love (2) Chapter 672: Chapgter 672: Passionate Love (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Wei Yu stood in the direction of the wind and shielded her from it. Youve observed it before? Pei Jiaos expression froze. Fuck, she talked too much. Her eyes darted around as she quickly thought about what to say next. She definitely couldnt deliberately explain or deny it in this situation. Otherwise, it would be too obvious! Fortunately, she thought quickly and thought about how to deal with it. She immediately turned to look at Wei Yu. At this moment, she knew very well that she could not avoid Wei Yus gaze and said in a calm tone, Is it strange for me to observe this place? Actually, Ive long wanted to figure out what kind of place this is. Im also curious why so many scientific researchers are gathered here and are almost isolated from the world She didnt hide her curiosity about the base at all. Wei Yu asked her, Then, did you remember the terrain here in the private lounge last time? Pei Jiao said, 1 1 only remember a little, but its very difficult to remember everything. My memory isnt very good, but if you let me see it a few more times, I might be able to remember it all. Fei Yi. Wei Yu called her name formally and said, There are indeed many scientific researchers in the base, but its not convenient for me to tell you too much about the base. l know. Im curious, but 1 dont really want to know. Look, its been so long, but I havent asked you. With that, Pei Jiao smiled at him. The wind in the tower blew a little harder. Pei Jiao shrunk her neck to prevent the wind from entering her collar. Wei Yu slowly leaned closer to her, his broad body firmly blocking the wind. Just as Pei Jiao had thought, if she was more sincere, Wei Yu had nothing to ask. If she avoided the topic or lie, Wei Yu would be even more suspicious. As expected, sincerity was always a sure-kill move. The wind is too strong. Do you want to go down? Wei Yu asked her opinion. Lets wait. I still want to stand here for a while and look at the landscape of the entire base. I have to remember this place, she said in his face. Wei Yu couldnt help but laugh. Actually, if you look at it that way, you wont be able to tell the complete landscape here. You can ask me directly if youre curious about which side. Pei Jiao did not stand on ceremony. She pointed to the right. Is that the way out? No. Wei Yu shook his head and pointed in another direction for Pei Jiao. Its that way. Pei Jiao looked in the direction Wei Yu was pointing. Actually, she knew that direction when she asked Wei Yu. But she deliberately asked the wrong question. After Wei Yu pointed in that direction, she pretended to say, I already knew it was that direction. 1 deliberately pointed in that direction just now. Wei Yu smiled tightly. Yes, you pointed wrongly on purpose. It was almost evening. Ji He hurriedly went to the accommodation building to look for Wei Yu, but there was no one. After asking around, he quickly went to the base tower. At this moment, Wei Yu and Pei Jiao had just come down from the tower. The two of them were holding hands and talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very sweet, and Ji He was too embarrassed to disturb them. However, what he came to say was more important and could not be delayed. He braced himself and walked forward. Young Master. Wei Yu could tell that Ji He was anxious and asked in a low voice, What is it? There was no need for Ji He to hide anything from Pei Jiao. He said directly, Young Master, Matriarch called. She said that she would be at the base tonight. Wei Yu frowned. What time? Ji He said, Shell be there around seven. Pei Jiao, who was at the side, had yet to react and asked, Matriarch is? Wei Yu glanced sideways at Pei Jiao and said, My grandma. Oh Pei Jiao nodded. Did your grandma come to the base to see you? Shes probably here to see you Ji He looked at Pei Jiao and gloated for some reason. Miss Fei Yi, Matriarch should be here to see you. Pei Jiao said, Me? Pei Jiao had already forgotten that she had seen Matriarch Wei before. However, she had not gone to see her deliberately. She had gone to a certain grand birthday banquet with her mother and met Matriarch Wei. At that time, Matriarch Wei took the initiative to stop her mother. The two of them even chatted for a while. She was not good at socializing at the birthday banquet, so she did not accompany her mother. She found a seat and sat down, quietly playing games on her phone. She vaguely heard her mother and Matriarch Wei talking about her. She casually looked up and saw Matriarch Wei smiling at her. Pei Jiao naturally could not look coldly at the old ladys kind smile, so she smiled back. Then, looking at the old ladys mouth, there was a high chance that she was praising her in front of her mother. Her mother said, She only knows Makka Pakka. However, at this moment, Pei Jiao had already forgotten that she had seen Matriarch Wei, so she did not have much of a reaction when she heard from Ji He that Matriarch Wei had come to the base. At this moment, Wei Yu said to her, Grandma probably knows about you and wants to come and take a look. Pei Jiao said, So, your Grandma wants to see me? Wei Yu nodded. Yes. It was already very obvious. Otherwise, why would Matriarch Wei suddenly come? She did not even inform Wei Yu in advance and let Ji He know. Wei Yu was very considerate of Pei Jiaos feelings. Fei Yi, are you willing to see Grandma? Wei Yu looked clearly nervous when he asked this. He added, Grandma is very kind. She wont be fierce. Pei Jiao actually didnt care. Ill meet her. Ill meet her sooner or later anyway. Besides, your Grandma came all the way here. How can I hide? Wei Yu was very happy to hear this well meet sooner or later. This proved that she had thought about her future with him and was prepared to meet his family. Then this is settled? Wei Yu asked her again. Pei Jiao nodded. Yes, weve agreed. Wei Yu immediately asked Ji He to arrange a place to stay. Matriarch Wei had come so late. She would definitely stay at the base for the night. The things that had been lost at the base had been recovered recently. The entire base was no longer sealed off. They only needed to register it. It would no longer be as strict as before. Next, Pei Jiao and Wei Yu went to dinner. After dinner, Pei Jiao returned to the accommodation building first. Wei Yu had to negotiate with Minister Lin and would return a step later than her. She was going to meet Wei Yus Grandma tonight. In order to leave a good impression on the old lady, Pei Jiao felt that it was necessary to dress up. Of course, this was also for Wei Yu to see. However, after she lived here, Wen Qiong had brought her all her clothes and skincare and cosmetics. There was almost no room to choose her clothes. She bit her lip and debated. In the end, she chose the white tweed coat, then paired it with a pair of wide-legged pants and white shoes. After dressing up, she used the only makeup she had. When she came out, Wei Yu happened to come back to pick her up. Wei Yu said, Put that scarf on. That scarf? While Pei Jiao was puzzled, Wei Yu said, The one you knitted for me yourself. Oh Do you want to wear it? Pei Jiao reacted. Wei Yu nodded. Yes. Next, the two of them made various adjustments in front of the mirror to deal with Weibo, so they delayed some time. When Ji He rushed over, he saw Wei Yu trying on a scarf in the house. Miss Fei Yi was helping him tidy it up. Ji He wanted to wait for Young Master to tie it up, but after looking at it for a long time, it did not look like he could do it well. He said directly, Young Master, Matriarch will be here soon. Wei Yu turned around. Got it. With that, he stopped adjusting and held Pei Jiaos hand. Thats all. Grandma is almost here. Lets go down first.. Chapter 673 - Chapter 673: Recognized? (1) Chapter 673: Recognized? (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On the way to see Matriarch Wei, Pei Jiao was still imagining if Matriarch Wei was an old lady that was difficult to deal with. Or could she be a kind grandma, as Wei Yu had said? Suddenly feeling that she was thinking too much, Pei Jiao immediately abandoned these unnecessary worries in her mind. Regardless of whether that old lady was fierce or kind, this was the only time. She just had to deal with it. There was no need to think too much. Pei Jiao had already followed Wei Yu to the waiting place. When she arrived, she realized that she and Wei Yu were not the only ones who came to welcome her. Minister Lin and Wen Qiong were also here. Pei Jiao did not feel surprised. The Wei family still had a certain status in the capital, so it was normal for them to be valued. Although she thought so, she still had to show a little curiosity on the surface. She tugged at Wei Yu t s sleeve and asked him in a low voice, Wei Yu, is your grandma a very powerful person? Even Minister Lin came out to welcome her personally. Its not a big shot. Were familiar with each other, Wei Yu explained. Pei Jiao looked enlightened. l see. Seeing Minister Lins serious expression, I thought your Grandma was a big shot. With that, Pei Jiao asked curiously, Wei Yu, tell me the truth. Is your family very rich? Wei Yu fell silent. The Wei family was famous in the capital. If one asked around in the capital, they would know about the Wei family. However, Pei Jiao did not know, nor was she familiar with the so-called Wei family. How should he answer? Wei Yu, a car is driving in. Look, is it your grandmas car? Pei Jiaos voice interrupted Wei Yus thoughts and ended the topic. Wei Yu did not think much of it and looked up at the door. After seeing the car clearly, Wei Yu said to Pei Jiao, Yes, Grandma is here. As he said this, Wei Yu subconsciously tightened his grip on Pei Jiaos hand. Pei Jiao looked down at it and then at Wei Yu. There was an indescribable subtlety in her heart. She attributed it to the fact that she was really experiencing the scene of meeting her parents, so it made sense for her to feel subtle. The car drove in. Wei Yu held Pei Jiaos hand and walked over. Pei Jiao stood still and Wei Yu looked sideways at her. Pei Jiao said, Its not good for me to go forward directly. Go and welcome your Grandma first. Wei Yu understood what she meant. He nodded, let go of her hand, and walked over. After Wei Yu passed, Wen Qiong walked over. She stood beside Pei Jiao and gently nudged her with her elbow. Tell me how you feel now. Pei Jiao calmly adjusted her expression and made a shy reaction, pretending not to understand. What? Silly girl, Wen Qiong scolded her with a smile. Then, she said, l saw you and Wei Yu get together with my own eyes. Pei Jiao bit her lip and smiled shyly. Seeing Pei Jiao smile so happily, Wen Qiong couldnt help but sigh. Actually, in retrospect, the scene that night was a little similar to tonight. However, it rained that night and Wei Yu brought you into the base just like that. When she mentioned this, Wen Qiongs face was full of smiles. At that time, you were covered in injuries and your clothes were tattered. I was the one who changed your clothes. Pei Jiao turned to look at Wen Qiong. Thank you, Wen Qiong. Wen Qiong gently patted Pei Jiaos arm. Im saying this to remind you of the scene, not to ask you to thank me. Dont say thank you again. Pei Jiao pursed her lips. l know, but I suddenly realized that it seems like so long. I always owe you a thank you. If I had known, I wouldnt have mentioned it. Wen Qiong smiled bitterly. At that time, only I could change your clothes. No one else could have done this. Besides At the mention of something else, Wen Qiongs expression became slightly more serious than before. She said to Pei Jiao, l really hope that you and Wei Yu will continue to be like this. Im waiting to attend your wedding banquet. Pei Jiaos face turned red. This is nothing. We just, just, just started dating. Its been more than a month since youve started dating, Wen Qiong said. Pei Jiao shook her head. No, no. She quickly made it clear. Its me whos been at the base for more than a month. I havent been in a relationship with him for more than a month. Seeing Pei Jiao explain so seriously, Wen Qiong couldnt help but laugh. Alright, I know. At this moment, Matriarch Wei was already getting out of the car. Wen Qiong pulled Pei Jiao. Lets go and see Matriarch Wei. Pei Jiao nodded and felt that it was more suitable to go forward with Wen Qiong. If she had met her with Wei Yu just now, she would definitely have looked very anxious. Just as she was about to approach, when Pei Jiao saw Matriarch Weis appearance clearly, the expression on her face almost cracked. She stopped short. Beside her, Wen Qiong asked her, Whats wrong? Pei Jiao reacted quickly and said, Wen Qiong, Wen Qiong, I-I think my period is here. They were all women, so Wen Qiong understood Pei Jiaos words. Then go back first. It wont be good if you get it on your pants later. Yes, yes. Pei Jiao nodded. This is the first time Ive seen Wei Yus grandma today. I cant embarrass myself in front of her. I have to go back and change quickly. Wen Qiong asked her, Do you want me to accompany you? Theres no need. Pei Jiao smiled reluctantly. Ill go back myself. Ill have to trouble you to help me tell Wei Yu. Wen Qiong nodded. Yes, thats fine. Then go back quickly. Pei Jiao frowned and turned to leave. She walked quickly, walking almost at a trot. She didnt dare breathe hard until shed run back to the accommodation building and closed the door. After calming down, Pei Jiao pinched her cheek and muttered to herself in frustration, How could I forget that Ive seen Grandma Wei Yu before? Damn, I almost went back to before I was liberated. She did not dare to imagine what would happen if Grandma Wei recognized her as Pei Jiao, the fiance he had personally rejected. If she wasnt at the base, she could have run away. But this was the base, not a place where she could run away just because she wanted to. She had really been scared out of her wits just now. She paced back and forth, thinking about her next countermeasure. According to Ji He, if Wei Yus Grandma was really here for her and wanted to see her, she would definitely recognize her on the spot. But if she avoided Wei Yu t s grandma, it seemed even more fishy. Just as Pei Jiao was racking her brains to think of a solution, there was a knock on the door. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she was startled by a sudden knock on the door. She whirled around to look at it. Was Wei Yu back? Or did Wei Yu bring his Grandma along? They shouldnt have come together so quickly? Pei Jiaos heart was in her throat, and she was extremely nervous. Fei Yi? When the knocking stopped, she heard Yu calling her from outside. Pei Jiao swallowed and did not respond. She went to the bathroom and closed the door before locking it. When Wei Yu came in, she listened carefully for footsteps. It seemed that he was alone. Just as she heaved a sigh of relief and was about to come out, she suddenly heard Matriarch Weis voice ask, Didnt you say that the little girl is back? Pei Jiao instantly retracted her hand from the doorknob as if she had been electrocuted.. Chapter 674 - Chapter 674: Wei Yu Heard It! (1) Chapter 674: Wei Yu Heard It! (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao panicked. Her mind froze. She had no idea what to do next. Should she go straight out? Let Wei Yus Grandma recognize her at a glance? And then face Wei Yus anger? Of course not! She had worked hard for so long to get to where she was now. During this period of time, she had almost sacrificed herself to win Wei Yus heart. At this point, she could not let all her efforts go to waste. Otherwise, she would not be satisfied even if she died. Just as Pei Jiao was racking her brains to think of all kinds of ways to deal with it, Wen Qiongs voice came from outside the door. Wei Yu, come here for a moment. Wen Qiong sounded a little out of breath. She had just run over. Wei Yu glanced at the bathroom door, then turned and walked towards Wen Qiong. Pei Jiao pricked up her ears to listen to the commotion outside the door. She did not know what Wen Qiong was rushing over to say, but she guessed that Wen Qiong might not have told Wei Yu why she had suddenly returned. However, this was only a guess. Wen Qiong was there at that time, so she should not have watched Wei Yu bring his Grandma over without explaining the situation to him. After a few minutes, knock knock knock C The knock came again. Pei Jiaos heart tightened. Fei Yi? Wen Qiong called out to her from outside the door. Pei Jiao clenched her fists and tried to answer in a steady voice.? it Wen Qiong? Wen Qiong replied, Its me. Pei Jiao pressed her hand on the doorknob and slowly opened the door. When she saw Wen Qiong standing outside, she looked to her left and back worriedly. Wen Qiong saw this reaction. She smiled. Im alone now. Wei Yu and Matriarch Wei have already left. Pei Jiao was very cautious, but she could not show it too obviously, so she asked curiously, l think I heard Wei Yus voice just now. Did he come back? Wen Qiong looked at Pei Jiaos reaction. Didnt you hear anything just now? Pei Jiao shook her head, her reaction true. l was running the water inside just now and didnt hear anything. Just as I finished running the water, I heard you calling me from outside the door. Wen Qiong said, Its Wei Yu and Matriarch Wei. Oh. Pei Jiao came out of the bathroom. She looked natural and went to the cabinet to pour herself a glass of hot water. As she poured the water, she asked casually, Wen Qiong, is Wei Yus Grandma here to see me? Shes here to see you. Wen Qiong looked apologetic. You can blame me for Pei Jiao turned around with the hot water and looked at Wen Qiong. Whats wrong, Wen Qiong? Wen Qiong said to Pei Jiao, You asked me to tell Wei Yu why you went back, but I didnt make it clear at that time. Matriarch Wei was in a hurry to see you, so she came straight here. Pei Jiao pursed her lips. The heat from the cup blurred her face. Wen Qiong walked over. l specially rushed over to make things clear to Wei Yu. After he found out about your situation, he had already left with Matriarch Wei, so theres only the two of us here. Pei Jiao looked up at Wen Qiong quietly. When she spoke, her voice was light and ethereal. What a pity. Then, her ethereal tone became filled with regret. l didnt see her when I went to welcome her. I missed her again just now. Wen Qiong smiled faintly. Its nothing. Youll see each other anyway. Pei Jiao lowered her head to drink the water. Wen Qiong reminded her, Be careful not to burn yourself. Theres only the two of us here. Drink slowly. Pei Jiao was stunned. Her grip on the cup slowly tightened. Wen Qiong looked at Pei Jiaos calm reaction and said meaningfully, Fei Yi, youre more stable than most girls Ive met. HissH Pei Jiao frowned and hissed. Wen Qiong immediately asked, Whats wrong? Pei Jiao looked up at Wen Qiong, who was concerned about her, and shook her head slightly. The cup isnt very insulated. It seems a little hot. Put it down if its hot, silly, Wen Qiong said gently. Dont keep holding it in your hand. Youll accidentally hurt yourself. With that, Wen Qiong reached over and took the cup from Pei Jiaos hand. She placed it on the cabinet. Drink it when its a little cold. Pei Jiao looked at Wen Qiong quietly. She could tell that there was something in Wen Qiongs every word. When she was preparing to welcome Matriarch Wei outside just now, Wen Qiong had already said something very suggestive to her, but she actually did not react. She even felt that Wen Qiong was really blessing her and Wei Yu. But now, Wen Qiongs hint was so straightforward. If she continued to act stupid and pretend not to understand, Wen Qiong would probably say it directly.. Chapter 675 - Chapter 675: Wei Yu Heard It! (2) Chapter 675: Wei Yu Heard It! (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Wen Qiong went to the door and gently closed it. Wei Yu might be back soon. After closing the door, Wen Qiong turned to look at Pei Jiao. Fei Yi Oh no, Miss Pei, is there anything you want to talk to me about? Pei Jiaos pupils constricted. In the past month or so at the base, she had been careful, careful with her words and actions. From being spoiled and domineering at the beginning, to being able to restrain herself now, she thought that she had definitely not exposed herself. However, if she really accidentally exposed herself without her knowing, Wei Yu would definitely be the first to know because the closest person to her was only Wei Yu. But now, Wen Qiong, who could only be considered her friend, had caught her off guard when she called her Miss Pei. Are you surprised to hear this, Miss Pei? Wen Qiong walked towards her. There was no questioning tone. Her voice was gentle, and the smile was still on her face. Pei Jiao remained calm and replied calmly, l dont know Wen Qiong interrupted Pei Jiao. l guess you should say that you dont know what Im talking about, let alone Miss Pei, because your name is Fei Yi now. Pei Jiao: Wen Qiongs prediction was very accurate. She had completely guessed everything Pei Jiao was going to say. She did want to muddle through, but it was obvious that Wen Qiong was a smart person and did not plan to let her muddle through so easily. In that case, Pei Jiao could only lay her cards on the table, You knew, so Wei Yu knew long ago? No. Wen Qiong shook her head. Wei Yu doesnt know yet. Pei Jiao clearly did not believe Wen Qiongs words. She picked up the cup of slightly cooled water and walked to the sofa calmly to sit down. You know everything, but Wei Yu doesnt. This doesnt seem to make sense. Wen Qiong stood outside the coffee table. Under normal circumstances, including from your point of view, it doesnt make sense. But thats the truth. In the entire base, Im the only one who knows that youre Pei Jiao. With that, Pei Jiao suddenly stood up. Water flowed out of the cup in her hand and overflowed on the cuff and the back of her hand. Fortunately, the water was no longer hot. Pei Jiaos breathing was a little unstable. She said angrily, As you said, youre the only one in the entire base who knows my true identity. Can you keep your voice down? With that, Pei Jiao put down the cup and walked to the door. She opened the door and looked to her left and right. When she was sure no one was there, she breathed a sigh of relief. She closed the door forcefully and strode to Wen Qiong. Wen Qiong looked at Pei Jiaos aura and was shocked. Are you planning to silence me? Pei Jiao was stunned by this question. She subconsciously replied, Ive never killed anyone in my life. Wen Qiong, who heard this, After saying this, Pei Jiao: In the next second, Wen Qiong turned to leave. Pei Jiao reacted extremely quickly and grabbed Wen Qiong. This frightened Wen Qiong so much that her face turned pale. W-What are you doing? Pei Jiao asked, Why did you suddenly run? Soon, they both calmed down. Wen Qiong said, When I saw your aura just now, the image of you flying into a rage out of humiliation and killing me to protect your secret appeared in my mind. The corners of Pei Jiaos mouth twitched. Ive really never killed anyone. Wen Qiong turned to look at Pei Jiao. Theres a huge problem with this sentence. Many murderers have never killed anyone before they did. Pei Jiao: They passed the topic of conversation. Back to the topic, Pei Jiao asked Wen Qiong seriously, Did you happen to see where I gave myself away? Let go first. Wen Qiong looked up and down. Pei Jiao let go of Wen Qiongs hand. Go ahead. Wen Qiong straightened her clothes and sat down. Its not that you accidentally gave yourself away. How about this? Let me remind you. Do you know anyone with the same surname as me? Pei Jiao frowned. Wen Wen Qiong looked at Pei Jiao with a faint smile, waiting for her to remember. Pei Jiao had a good memory. After hearing Wen Qiongs reminder, she quickly remembered a good friend of her brothers called Wen Ye. Wen Ye was a psychiatrist. In his spare time, he often played with He Wang and Qin Zhuoning. He rarely went to their places, only once or twice, but every time he went, he would bring her to play. At this moment, she thought of Wen Ye and narrowed her eyes. Is it Wen Ye? Wen Qiong nodded. Thats right. Wen Ye is my biological brother. You didnt expect this, did you? The relationship between people is so subtle. Pei Jiao choked. Wen Qiong also said, Didnt I leave the base and go home a while ago? Wen Ye went home too. Hearing this, Pei Jiao almost didnt have to listen to what she had to say anymore. She knew how Wen Qiong knew. Wen Qiong did not stop talking. The Pei familys daughter went missing. The Pei family looked for her for a few days and did not look for her again. Wen Ye only mentioned it casually because he knew the inside story. However, Ive always been sharp about most things, so I asked when she went missing and how long she had been missing. Wen Ye probably did not think much of it and told me, his sister. Wen Qiong looked at Pei Jiao. After hearing that, I was curious and asked Wen Ye for your photo. Guess what? The person in that photo looks exactly like the person I guessed. Pei Jiao pursed her lips in silence. Wen Qiong was tired of talking. She stood up and walked to Pei Jiaos side. Pei Jiao, Fei Yi. Its indeed not easy to think of when you take apart your surname and form your new name. Pei Jiao closed her eyes hard. She took a deep breath and looked at Wen Qiong helplessly. So you plan to tell Wei Yu everything you know? Not necessarily. Wen Qiongs attitude was very clear. First of all, I want to know why you hide your identity and came to Wei Yu e s side. You even made him fall in love with you. Pei Jiao said without thinking, l like him. Be sincere, Wen Qiong reminded her. Pei Jiao still said, l just like him. I like him very, very much. I want to be with him. If I cant be with him in the end, I wont be with anyone else in the future, so I want to fight for this relationship for myself within my capabilities. Wen Qiong reminded her again, Tell the truth! This time, Wen Qiongs expression was clearly more serious than before. Pei Jiao was furious. When she spoke again, her voice was several decibels louder. l like Wei Yu! I just like him! I only like him. I only want to be with him in my life. I have to be with him! Whether you call me stubborn or paranoid, it wont change my determination to like him. Her words were sonorous. Her eyes were so determined. This was her most sincere attitude. Even Wen Qiong was shocked. At this moment, the door slowly opened and Wei Yu appeared outside. The moment Pei Jiao saw Wei Yu appear outside the door, she felt her blood flow backward and her entire body turn cold.. Chapter 676 - Chapter 676: Meeting the Parents Chapter 676: Meeting the Parents Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao spoke so loudly because she was gambling. She was betting on whether Wei Yu had come. She was betting on how much Wei Yu would hear if he came. Although she was mentally prepared to deal with it calmly, the moment she saw Wei Yu open the door, she would still be so flustered that her limbs would stiffen and her hands and feet would turn cold. Wei Yu Pei Jiao called his name softly. Wei Yu entered with a dark expression. He pulled Pei Jiao into his arms and protected her. He looked up at Wen Qiong opposite him and said coldly, Why are you making things difficult for her? Wen Qiong was speechless. Seeing Wei Yus reaction, Pei Jiao finally felt relieved. Wei Yu, Wen Qiong didnt make things difficult for me, Pei Jiao raised her face from his arms and explained. Wen Qiong looked at Pei Jiao, who was explaining, and thought that it was better not to explain. Looking at Wei Yus expression, he probably thought that she had bullied Pei Jiao when he was not here! l just want to talk to Fei Yi about how she likes you. Pei Jiao looked a little unnatural. 1 1 might have asked too much just now. Wei Yu frowned. Just asking too many questions? Why does it sound like youre forcing her? Wen Qiong was speechless. It was no wonder that Wen Qiong was speechless and could not answer. It could only be said that Wei Yus aura was too strong. The moment he arrived, he suppressed Wen Qiong with his aura. Wen Qiong did not know what to say now. Beside her, Pei Jiao was afraid that Wen Qiong would be agitated by Wei Yu and reveal her true identity. In order not to let anything happen, she quickly grabbed Wei Yus Wrist. Wei Yu, Wen Qiong and I are very close. I just wanted to express my liking for you loudly, so 1 didnt control my voice. It might sound like a fight to you, but its actually not. Seeing this, Wen Qiong was silent for a few seconds before agreeing. Thats right. Wei Yu, youre thinking too much. How could 1 make things difficult for Fei Yi? With that, Wen Qiong looked at Pei Jiao and asked, Isnt that right, Fei Yi? Pei Jiao quickly said, Yes. The two of them echoed each other and brushed it off in the blink of an eye. Wei Yu did not pursue the matter for the time being. He said to Wen Qiong, You can leave first. L.. alright. Wen Qiong glanced at Pei Jiao before she left. Initially, she had made plans. If Pei Jiao did not make things clear today, she would tell Wei Yu the truth. From the looks of it, even if Pei Jiao did not make it clear, she did not want to tell Wei Yu the truth. She was bitterly disappointed by his protective attitude. Ill go talk to Matriarch Wei. Ill leave first. Before leaving, Wen Qiong glanced at Pei Jiao, making Pei Jiaos hair stand on end. After Wen Qiong left, Pei Jiao heaved a sigh of relief. Wei Yu went over and closed the door. Then, he pulled open his jacket and clothes and took out a packet in the inner pocket. It looked like a candy-shaped package. Pei Jiao asked him, What is this? Wei Yu said, Brown sugar. Pei Jiao was stunned. Seeing Pei Jiaos reaction, Wei Yu explained, Wen Qiong told me that 1 was careless. I didnt know and specially brought Grandma over to see you. He spoke contritely, his hand already unwrapping the package. Pei Jiao was caught between laughter and tears. l actually heard your voice in the bathroom, but L.. Hmm Pei Jiao bit her lip and was a little embarrassed to say this. It was not convenient for me to open the door at that time. When 1 came out, Wen Qiong was alone. She said that you and Grandma left first, so Wen Qiong told you, Yes, Wei Yu replied and took out a brown sugar wrapped in the shape of a candy from the packaging. I checked. You have to drink more brown sugar water during your period. Ill make you a cup. Pei Jiao was very happy. Okay. The water in the kettle was still warm. Wei Yu poured the water and put a complete piece of brown sugar in it. Then he stirred it with a spoon to make the brown sugar melt as soon as possible. He brought the brewed brown sugar water over and handed it to Pei Jiao. l didnt do well enough. I should have been more careful. Pei Jiao did not expect Wei Yu to blame himself so much. She held the cup of steaming brown sugar water and sniffed it. l cant tell you this. You dont have to think its something important. With that, she changed the subject. By the way, wheres Grandma? I was supposed to meet her with you tonight, but there was a small accident. Looks like I can only see her tomorrow. Wei Yu t s expression improved. Grandma has already gone to the place shes arranged to stay. You can only see her tomorrow. Thats good. And its good to see her tomorrow. Pei Jiao sat down on the sofa with a glass of water. Wei Yu said to her, l think I should formally ask for your wishes. We might have lunch together tomorrow. Pei Jiao looked up at him. Wei Yu looked serious and a little nervous. Pei Jiao retracted her gaze and took a sip of sugar water. Of course Ill go. Actually, 1 really want to see your family. This way, our relationship might take a step closer. Wei Yu walked up to Pei Jiao and slowly squatted down. He looked at her gently. l heard what you said just now. Pei Jiaos heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her composure. What did you hear? Wei Yu said, You said that it has to be me in this life. Pei Jiao bit her lip. l didnt say that. In any case, I heard it. You cant deny it. Wei Yu held Pei Jiaos other hand and said to her seriously, When I see Grandma tomorrow, Ill bring you back to the Wei family to see all my family.. Chapter 677 - Chapter 677: Taking the Initiative to State Your Identity (1) Chapter 677: Taking the Initiative to State Your Identity (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Take her to meet his family? The people from the Wei family? Pei Jiao couldnt help but think to herself that now that she didnt even dare to meet Matriarch Wei, how could she meet his family? After leaving the base, she would never step into the Wei family again in her life! Although she thought so, Pei Jiao looked surprised. Wei Yu, are you serious? Are you really taking me to see your family? Wei Yu promised her, Yes, Im serious. I cant leave for the time being because of work. When Im done with this, Ill take you to see my family. Thats great. Pei Jiao was very happy, but more excited. Wei Yu, youve made me feel valued. Wei Yus heart ached for her. He tightened his grip on Pei Jiaos hand. You should be valued. Pei Jiao secretly pinched her palm with her other hand, forcing her eyes to turn red. She had already put the brown sugar water aside. She leaned over and pounced on Wei Yu. At the moment when he was caught off guard, her hand touched the inside of his pocket. Wei Yu, its really great to meet you. Do you know that youve cured all my misfortune? Under such circumstances, Wei Yu was not guarded against Pei Jiao at all. Even though Pei Jiao had quietly taken the phone from his pocket, he did not notice it at all. And tonight, because Pei Jiao was on her period, Wei Yu did not disturb her for too long. He watched her finish the brown sugar water and chat for a while before leaving. But not back next door. To the lab. After Wei Yu left, Pei Jiao, who was already lying on the bed, suddenly sat up. She quickly got out of bed and went to the sofa she had just sat on. She took out a cell phone from the gap in the sofa. Although she had a cell phone that she could use recently, that cell phone had been implanted with a listening device by Wei Yu. If it was a software listening device, she could still remove it herself, but with an implanted listening device, she could not remove the listening device without tools. Every day, she could only play games on that cell phone and go online. She did not even dare to log into her WeChat. She had to disguise herself every day. She felt more tired than ever. Especially since Wen Qiong already knew her identity, which meant that this time bomb had entered the countdown. If she delayed any longer, she might play Wei Yu to death. Matriarch Weis arrival became the fuse for her to make a decision as soon as possible. Usually, Wei Yus personal cell phone was with Ji He, but today, Matriarch Wei came over. His cell phone must be with him, so she dared to steal it rashly because she knew that this cell phone was definitely not monitored. Pei Jiao checked the cell phone first. Then she unlocked it with the previous password. She wondered if even God was helping her. Shed actually solved it. It was the same password. Pei Jiao was a suspicious person and immediately stopped what she was doing. However, she quickly stopped caring about anything and continued operating. She did not have much time now. She had to check if this cell phone was being monitored as soon as possible. After checking and finding that everything was normal, she felt more at ease. She did not contact her family. Instead, she contacted Beike first. This was also the second time she had contacted Beike since coming to the base. The last time she had contacted Beike to help her report to her family that she was safe, it had been really dangerous and indescribable, but this time was not much better. She waited a few seconds before the call was answered. Pei Jiao gripped her cell phone tightly and shouted, Son! The person on the other end of the line was stunned at first, then he reacted and scolded, Whos your son? Are you f*cking crazy? Yes, yes, yes! Pei Jiao said. Im sick. Im quite sick. Is it convenient to prescribe medicine? There was another silence on the line. Pei Jiao waited patiently. After a few seconds, the person on the other end of the line roared, Where the hell are you? I cant find you anywhere in the entire capital. There was no sound last time. I thought you were dead! Beikes roar was deafening. Pei Jiaos eardrums hurt. She rubbed her ears and said, Not yet, but itll be soon. Beike immediately became nervous. Where are you? Youre not locked up in some prison, are you? Bah, youre the one whos in prison. Cant you expect me to do well? Pei Jiao lowered her voice and said, Im fine, but Im in a relatively dangerous place now. Something might happen at any time. Ill send you a map later and roughly mark my current location. Youd better find this place to pick me up in three days.. If its more than three days Chapter 678 - Chapter 678: Taking the Initiative to State Your Identity (2) Chapter 678: Taking the Initiative to State Your Identity (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiaos tone became more and more serious. On the other end of the line, Beikes expression was also very solemn. Youll die? Pei Jiao: Beike hurriedly asked, Is your place inside or outside the country? l dont think I left the country Pei Jiao was not too sure. She had always thought that this base was on the border of the capital. Moreover, it was not far from the place where she had followed Wei Yu. But that day, standing on the tower, she realized that she couldnt see any highway at a glance. There were only mountains. If Wei Yu hadnt pointed her in the direction, she wouldnt have known which road was coming here. When Bei Ke heard Pei Jiaos uncertain tone, he seemed to have thought of something and asked worriedly, Dont tell me you were sold to Southeast Asia? That place is a hell where even Sun Wukong will be slapped twice. If youre sold to that place, you can only be careful in your next life. Pei Jiao said angrily, You havent contacted me for so long, but your mouth is still as vicious as ever. Beike said, We havent contacted each other for so long. You shouldnt have any organs missing. Pei Jiao pretended to hang up. Forget it. Let me die here. Beike panicked. Hey, hey, hey, dont hang up, dont hang up. I was just teasing you. Do you know that Im more anxious than anyone else when 1 cant find you? Pei Jiao said, l dont feel anything. Beike held it in for a long time before saying, 1 miss you every day. Pei Jiao smiled. What do you miss about me? Me beating you up? Yes, 1 want you to beat me up. When you come back, youll beat me up every day. Beikes tone was like that of a resentful wife. Pei Jiao took down her cell phone and looked at the time. She had been chatting with Beike for six minutes. Wei Yu had yet to return, which meant that he should not have realized that her cell phone was missing. But it was also possible to find out. She quickly made it short. Remember to look at the picture I sent you later. Ill delete all the records on my end. Remember not to call back, or Ill die. Beike said, Its not my first day out. I know the rules. Its good that you know. Well talk about the rest when I come back. Kneel, little guest. With that, Pei Jiao hung up. Beike laughed in anger. Kneel? Pfft. Pei Jiao took out the map she had already drawn from the gap in the bedside table. After spreading it out, she clicked on her camera and took a picture of the hand-drawn map. Then she texted it to Beike. Within seconds of sending it, the phone rang. Pei Jiao was so frightened that her hand trembled and she almost shook her phone off. Her heart thundered as she stared at the caller ID on her phone screen. It was Ji He! Would Ji He call her at this time? Obviously, Wei Yu had discovered that his cell phone was missing and used Ji Hes phone to call this cell phone. Pei Jiao hesitated whether to answer it when the other party called a second time or now. After some hesitation, she chose to pick it up now. Hello? Ji He? Pei Jiao asked softly. The mans deep voice came from the receiver. Fei Yi, its me. Pei Jiao calmed herself down. Wei Yu? Yes, Wei Yu said. l just realized that my cell phone is missing. so I used Ji Hes phone to call it. It seems that I left it with you. Ill come and get it tomorrow. So its your phone. I thought it was the phone you gave me. It all looks the same, Pei Jiao said and suggested, Why dont I send it to you now? No need. The laboratory is far from here, Wei Yu reminded her. Rest early. Ill pick you up tomorrow morning. Pei Jiao did not deliberately try to find a conversation. Alright then. After hanging up, Pei Jiao heaved a sigh of relief. However, before she could heave a sigh of relief, her cell phone rang again. Pei Jiao was a little weak. Although she saw that the caller ID was a familiar number, she did not relax much. She picked it up and pressed the phone to her ear. You found out so quickly? she said weakly. Beike could tell that something was wrong with her tone. Whats going on? Just now, your tone was full of vigor as you scolded me. Its only been a few minutes, but youre already listless. Were you bullied? Im just a little weak from shock. Lets get down to business. Did you really find my current address based on that map? Pei Jiao asked. Im just so awesome! Beikes tone was a little smug. Ive been looking for you for so long, mainly because I dont have any clues. I went on the satellite to look for this clue you just gave me, and I really found it.. Youre at Base XXX, right? Chapter 679 - Chapter 679: Taking the Initiative to State Your Identity (3) Chapter 679: Taking the Initiative to State Your Identity (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Hearing the word base, Pei Jiao suddenly perked up. Although she was not sure what base this was, she had confirmed her location when Beike clearly said the word base. Impressive, Pei Jiao praised. This is really a base. Beike got carried away by the praise. If I wasnt powerful, how could I be your senior brother? Pei Jiaos expression fell. Forget it. Youre setting me up. But now that youve confirmed my location, remember not to look for me rashly. Wait for my message. Also, dont reply to any messages from this number or call again. Beike: know, but can you tell me about your current situation? Do you know how worried I was about you Beep, beep, beep Pei Jiao had already hung up. She deleted all the records and the map profile shed just taken. Then she placed her phone on the cabinet and went to bed with trepidation. The next day, Pei Jiao left very early. She did not tell Wei Yu in advance. Instead, she went straight to Wen Qiong and asked about Matriarch Weis residence. Minister Lin had arranged a specific residence for Matriarch Wei. It was actually on Minister Lins side. The location was very bright, and Matriarch Wei was very comfortable living there. Along the way, Wen Qiong took advantage of the fact that there was no one else around to mention last night. l havent told anyone. Pei Jiao looked calm. Thank you. Wen Qiong slowed down. But I dont know when Ill say it. Pei Jiaos reaction was indifferent. Its okay. Wei Yu will find out sooner or later. Arent you afraid that hell be angry and fall out with you? This was what Wen Qiong thought might happen. However, Pei Jiao did not care. She also slowed down and walked level with Wen Qiong. Thats my personality. If I like someone, Ill chase them boldly. When I have Wei Yu, theres nothing to worry about. If you had discovered my identity a month ago, I would probably have been worried that you would tell Wei Yu. These words stunned Wen Qiong. Thats right, Wen Qiong believed her. Actually, she had believed most of it last night. With Pei Jiaos words this morning, she was certain that Pei Jiao did not have any ill intentions. She was just a girl who was bold enough to chase after her lover. Wen Qiong couldnt help but sigh. Its rare to see a girl like you boldly and passionately pursuing someone you like. Pei Jiao endured this praise. Its alright. I must like him very much to do this. Its not worth the risk if I dont. Thats true. Wen Qiong agreed. When they arrived at Matriarch Weis residence, Wen Qiong said to Pei Jiao, This is it. Thank you, Wen Qiong, but I want to talk to Matriarch Wei alone, Pei Jiao said more reservedly. Wen Qiong naturally understood what Pei Jiao meant. Alright, Ill go have breakfast first. Pei Jiao nodded. After watching Wen Qiong leave, Pei Jiao raised her hand and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties. She sized Pei Jiao up and asked, You are? Pei Jiao introduced herself. Im Wei Yus girlfriend, Fei Yi. That woman was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect the person the Matriarch was especially anxious to see last night to come so early today. Please come in. The woman did not dare to be negligent. Knowing that Matriarch Wei was here to see her, she welcomed her in first. Pei Jiao smiled and replied gently, Thank you.. Chapter 680 - Chapter 680: Cohabitation (1) Chapter 680: Cohabitation (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao spent nearly ten minutes telling Matriarch Wei the reason for her appearance here. The entire process was extremely touching. When she saw Matriarch Weis pained expression, Pei Jiaos heart was clear. As expected, sincerity was always a sure-kill move! Matriarch Wei stood up and walked to Pei Jiao. She held Pei Jiaos hand and said, Silly girl, stop crying. Grandmas heart is about to break. Pei Jiao sobbed. Grandma, Im afraid youll blame me. What are you saying? Why would Grandma blame you? Grandmas heart aches for you, Matriarch Wei said with heartache. Pei Jiao lowered her eyes and said intermittently, But no matter what, this is a lie. Wei Yu still doesnt know my identity, but Im afraid that if I tell him my true identity he wont want me anymore. How dare he! Matriarch Weis expression darkened. Pei Jiao was shocked by Matriarch Weis aura. She was stunned and did not say anything. Seeing this, Matriarch Wei knew that she had frightened Pei Jiao. She quickly comforted her gently, Grandma is talking about him, not you. Dont be afraid, dont be afraid. Grandma will make the decision for you! Matriarch Weis attitude undoubtedly gave Pei Jiao a chance to continue suggesting. Seeing that the time was right, she said, Grandma, although Wei Yu doesnt know my identity now, hes very good to me and likes me more and more. I want you to keep this secret for me for the time being. When Wei Yu completely falls in love with me, Ill take the initiative to lay my cards on the table and explain this matter to him. At that time, well have a certain strong relationship foundation. Wei Yu wont abandon me even if he i s angry. Her words were sincere. Especially the last sentence: Wei Yu wont abandon me even if hes angry. Anyone could tell that she had placed herself very low in this relationship. From the beginning until now, she had been silently fighting and giving. After Matriarch Wei heard Pei Jiaos words, her heart ached. She opened her arms and hugged Pei Jiao lovingly. Grandma will listen to you. Grandma wont interfere, but Jiaojiao, youre Pei Qingjius daughter. Your brother is also a famous and influential figure in the capital. Grandmas heart aches for you. Im not aggrieved. Pei Jiao withdrew from Matriarch Weis arms and pretended to be strong as she shook her head. Grandma, I really dont feel aggrieved at all. If I like someone, I should be wholehearted. I like Wei Yu. Im willing to have him in my world. When Matriarch Wei heard this, she sighed helplessly. Girl, the stakes are so high now. What if you pay the wrong amount? Life should take a gamble while youre young, Pei Jiao said with a yearning expression. l wont regret it even if we become strangers in the future. At least Ive worked hard to fight for it. 1 have no regrets. Matriarch Wei was deeply gratified. Since youve said so, what else can Grandma say? Youre just like your mother back then. Youre a little romantic. Pei Jiao was stunned. She did not show this reaction on purpose. Instead, she subconsciously reacted in surprise when she heard Matriarch Wei say that her mother was a romanticist. She had never known that her mother was a romantic when she was young! Are you surprised? Matriarch Wei asked her with a smile. Pei Jiao nodded. l thought my father was the romantic one. My father loved my mother very much. That was after they got married. He wasnt like this before they got married. I have seen a lot back then. At the mention of the past, Matriarch Wei was in high spirits. Hence, she pulled Pei Jiao to talk about the past. Just as they were getting excited, there was a knock on the door. Xiu Zhi, go and see whos knocking so loudly. Matriarch Wei was displeased. The woman called Xiu Zhi by Matriarch Wei was the woman who had opened the door for Pei Jiao just now. She was the butler of the Wei family and Matriarch Weis trusted aide. Xiu Zhi went to open the door. Seeing that it was Wei Yu, Xiu Zhi shouted, Young Master. Wei Yu walked in with a cold expression. When he saw Pei Jiao sitting beside Matriarch Wei, the coldness on Wei Yus face clearly decreased by more than half. He even ignored Matriarch Weis existence and went forward to hold Pei Jiaos hand. Pei Jiao was forced to stand up and then be pulled into Wei Yu e s arms. Matriarch Wei was stunned, but she did not say anything to disturb the two of them.. Chapter 681 - Chapter 681: Cohabitation (2) Chapter 681: Cohabitation (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiaos hands were in the air, allowing Wei Yu to hug her like this. However, because Wei Yu was hugging her too tightly, she could not breathe. Wei Yu.. Wei Yu let go and his face returned to how it was when he came in just now. The moment he opened his mouth, he said in an interrogative tone, Didnt you say last night that you would wait for me to pick you up in the morning? Hearing this, Pei Jiao heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw that Wei Yus expression was so bad just now, she thought that Wei Yu knew that she had called the outside world last night. Unexpectedly, it was because she hadnt waited for him this morning. She had come to see Matriarch Wei alone behind his back. How could she wait for him? l was thinking Pei Jiao was about to find a reasonable explanation. Matriarch Wei stood up and pulled Pei Jiao to her side, protecting her. How dare you say that about Fei Yi? She couldnt see me last night because it was inconvenient. She felt guilty all night and came over early this morning. Im afraid youre still sleeping in. Wei Yu looked at Matriarch Wei. Grandma, L.. Are you calm now? Matriarch Wei asked angrily. Yes, Wei Yu replied. Matriarch Wei did not say anything else about him. After all, he looked nervous when he came in just now. His calm reaction when he saw Jiaojiao did not seem to be an act. During this period of time, Jiaojiao had sacrificed so much. It seemed that it was still effective. In the future, the two families would continue to be good friends and their relationship would last forever. Matriarch Wei and everyone in the Wei family would be glad to see it. Matriarch Wei turned to gesture at Pei Jiao. Sit. Pei Jiao looked at Wei Yu and then at Matriarch Wei. Then, she obediently listened to Matriarch Wei and sat down. Then, Matriarch Wei also sat down, but she did not ask Wei Yu to sit. She asked, Did you rush over so anxiously because you were afraid that an old woman like me would make things difficult for Fei Yi? Wei Yu shook his head. No, Grandma. l Matriarch Wei interrupted, Its normal to be worried, but think about it carefully. Your life has been hanging by a thread for so long. Its not easy for you to have a girl you like. Do you think Ill be an obstacle for you? I didnt think so, Wei Yu said. Matriarch Wei said, Its good that you dont think that way. Anyway, you have to know that I like Fei Yi very much and agree with your relationship. You can be together. Even if you have a wedding immediately, I will prepare it for you immediately. Wei Yu turned to look at Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao, who was about to watch the show, did not expect the commotion to fall on her. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted as she should have. She bit her lip shyly and tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips. Did you hear what Grandma said? Matriarch Weis voice pulled Wei Yu back to his senses. He replied softly, Marriage is still early. Matriarch Weis expression changed slightly. Its still early, but you have to have this plan. Let Fei Yi have hope. You cant drag her down just because she likes you from the bottom of her heart. Wei Yu replied, l have a plan. Its good that you have plans. Matriarch Wei stopped there and did not continue, Wei Yu walked forward and held Pei Jiaos hand. He said to Matriarch Wei, Grandma, well leave first. Matriarch Wei remained silent. When they left Matriarch Weis place, Wei Yu held Pei Jiaos hand tightly. After walking for a long time, he did not let go. Pei Jiao could not help but say, Say what you want to say now. Theres no need to hold it in. Wei Yu stopped in his tracks. He turned sideways, his voice so soft it was almost insubstantial. Why didnt you wait for me this morning? Pei Jiao replied in Matriarch Weis exact words, l felt guilty all night and didnt sleep well. I woke up early and came over. After seeing Grandma, Im in a good mood and relaxed. Wei Yu looked at her quietly. Pei Jiao stretched and turned to see Wei Yu staring at her. She smiled brightly and asked, Is there something on my face? Youve been staring at my face. Or is it because I didnt sleep well last night that I look terrible today? Wei Yu said, Neither. Pei Jiao leaned over to tease him. Suddenly, she heard Wei Yu ask her, Will you leave me? Pei Jiao was stunned, then immediately asked, Then will you leave me? Wei Yu shook his head and Pei Jiao immediately said, l wont. But in fact, Pei Jiao misunderstood what Wei Yu had said, l dont know. Pei Jiaos face fell. Then I dont know.. Chapter 682 - Chapter 682: Cohabitation (3) Chapter 682: Cohabitation (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After saying this, she walked forward angrily. Her footsteps were fast, but this time, Wei Yu did not chase after her. He only walked silently behind. In the end, it was Pei Jiao who gave in first. She turned back. Alright, you might leave me. After all, I was the one who wooed you first. That saying is right. The one who loves the most between two people is the easiest to lose. I can afford to lose. Its fine. Wei Yus expression darkened. Your liking for me is so passionate. I often wonder how long this enthusiasm can last. Pei Jiao sensed that something was wrong. You l didnt find you this morning, he said suddenly. When I opened the door and went in, there was no sign of you anywhere. No matter how much I called out to you, there was no response. I thought youd disappeared. Pei Jiao smiled. l dont know magic. How can I disappear Hmm Caught off guard, Wei Yu suddenly leaned over and kissed her. He clasped his palms to the back of her head and kissed her especially hard. Pei Jiao had almost no room to struggle free. She could only be forced to accept his kiss with personal emotions. It was a long time before he let go of her. He panted and greedily inhaled the fragrance of her body. Then he pulled her tightly into his arms and said in a low and hoarse voice, Im an unwavering materialist, but Im still afraid that you really know magic and will suddenly disappear from my eyes one day. Can you promise me that youll never disappear from my eyes? Pei Jiaos body was warm from his hug, but her heart was as cold as ice. How can you be so childish She responded to him with a faint smile. l promise you, I dont know magic and I wont disappear from your sight. Wei Yu seemed to sigh and laugh, but his arms tightened around her. Wei Yu did not go to work all day. He was almost always by Pei Jiaos side, so it was inconvenient for Pei Jiao to do anything. But she couldnt send him away. She even had to look happy with him. Even Matriarch Wei could not stand how clingy Wei Yu was, let alone others. At night, Wei Yu was so clingy that he did not even intend to leave. He even asked for her opinion. Fei Yi, can we live together? Pei Jiao almost staggered. Seeing that it was so late, she thought she could heave a sigh of relief and wait for Wei Yu to leave so that she could have her own privacy. But Wei Yu actually said that he wanted to live together??? What had he thought? He had been guarding her for the entire day today. Was he going to guard her for the entire night?! Pei Jiao refused without thinking. No! Why not? Arent we already No means no! Pei Jiao interrupted Wei Yu and quickly calmed down. My period is here. I cant do it tonight. Wei Yu suddenly smiled. What did you think I would do? Pei Jiao looked at him. Wei Yu said, Perhaps I didnt express myself clearly. Im sorry, but when I say live together, I mean we live together. Dont worry, I wont do anything I shouldnt do now. Pei Jiao was speechless. She blinked faster and faster, a guilty reaction. Only she knew that she was not on her period. If Wei Yu found out, it would be another unspeakable lie, She quickly calmed down and walked up to Wei Yu. She took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist and looked up. Actually Im not worried about what will happen. On the contrary, Im looking forward to it more. If it werent for the fact that its inconvenient now, youd be the one in danger. Arent you worried about what Ill do to you? Wei Yus breathing quickened. A faint fragrance wafted to the tip of his nose. He actually found it difficult to control himself. What will you do? Wei Yu looked at her without blinking. Pei Jiao smiled brightly and poked his chest with her finger. What can I do? Why dont you teach me what to do? To Pei Jiao, this night was no different from usual. Even though they were in the same bed, she didnt feel anything. But Wei Yu was different. He had never thought that just hugging her to sleep would torment every cell in his body as if a century had passed. He didnt even dare move. He didnt even dare to breathe hard. The entire night passed. When he woke up the next day, Wei Yus face was filled with fatigue. He had clearly slept all night and should be in high spirits, but he seemed to have plowed the ground all night. Ji He stood outside the door with a new set of clothes. When Wei Yu opened the door and came out, Ji He looked up and saw Wei Yus expression. He immediately thought, Could this Miss Fei Yi have transformed into a demon? Otherwise, why did Young Master look like his essence had been sucked dry on the first night?! Clothes. Wei Yu reached out. Ji He immediately handed over the clothes and said, Young Master, the Matriarch will leave tomorrow morning. Minister Lin is holding a banquet tonight. Wei Yu frowned. He had a bad feeling.. Tonight? Chapter 683 - Chapter 683: Don’t Want to Separate (1) Chapter 683: Dont Want to Separate (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao came out of the house and happened to hear Ji He tell Wei Yu that Minister Lin would hold a banquet tonight. Wei Yu, Pei Jiao shouted at him. Wei Yu gestured for Ji He to leave first. He turned around and closed the door. Why dont you sleep a little longer? Pei Jiao smiled and said happily, l slept very well last night. I woke up before you. 1 think I heard Ji He say that Minister Lin is holding a banquet to entertain Grandma tonight? Wei Yu avoided Pei Jiaos gaze and answered irrelevantly as he walked in. Im not going to the laboratory today. How could Pei Jiao not tell that he was deliberately avoiding this topic? But why would he avoid it? Didnt she already have Grandmas approval? He had seen it all. Could it be that he wouldnt let her go tonight? That wont do! She was definitely going. She would find an opportunity to contact Beike again while she was at it. It would be even better if she could leave tonight. After making up her mind, Pei Jiao chased him to the bathroom. Wei Yu rummaged for a razor in the drawer under the sink. As usual, he methodically squeezed out the shaving cream and prepared to shave. Pei Jiao leaned against the door frame and looked at him. She asked curiously, l secretly kissed you this morning. You clearly didnt have stubble. Why did you shave? Wei Yus hand, which was about to squeeze the shaving cream, paused. The scene of her suddenly kissing his chin when she turned over in the morning quickly appeared in his mind. How could he have thought that she had done it on purpose? He only thought that she had accidentally kissed him when she turned over. His heart throbbed uncontrollably. He looked up at her. l shave regularly. Im used to it. This seems to be a good habit. Pei Jiao asked. Sort of, he said. Then he raised a hand to her. Pei Jiao understood his gesture. He was asking her to go in. Obediently, she walked to the sink and propped her arms casually on the side. She raised her face and asked, Do you want me to shave you? Let me make it clear that I dont know. Wei Yu asked her, It doesnt matter if you dont know. Do you want to try? Pei Jiao nodded. 1 1 really want to try shaving my boyfriend, but Im not confident. Im afraid Ill leave a scar on your good-looking face. Isnt it more manly to leave a scar? Wei Yu handed her the shaving cream. Pei Jiao was caught between laughter and tears. Thats not how you describe a man. Do you think youre the gray wolf? Because there was a scar on the gray wolfs face. Handsome and masculine. If you wish, then I am. He sounded serious. Pei Jiao ignored his seriousness and changed the topic. Whats this called? Wei Yu said, Shaving cream. Pei Jiao asked suddenly, What does it do? She was a girl. It was normal for her not to understand the shaving cream boys used. Even if she knew a little, she had to pretend not to know anything. Wei Yu explained to her, Applying this can soften the hair and lubricate it. It can also reduce the friction between the blade and the skin. There are also antibacterial components in it Alright, alright. Theres no need to explain in detail. I dont need it. With that, Pei Jiao squeezed out a piece of white paste, Apply it around your chin, right? Wei Yu nodded and looked at her with a smile. Pei Jiao followed his instructions and used her fingers to wipe his chin bit by bit. This was the first time she had done this. She was not familiar with the technique, but she applied it carefully. Now that the two of them were very close, every breath Wei Yu took landed on her face. Pei Jiaos cheeks were clearly red. She held her breath, but her heartbeat gradually sped up uncontrollably. Fei Yi, I think I heard your heartbeat, Wei Yu suddenly said. Pei Jiao looked unnatural. Were not close. How can you hear me? However, in the next second, Wei Yu wrapped his hands around Pei Jiaos waist and pulled her up to sit on the sink. Pei Jiaos hands were covered in white shaving cream. After sitting on the sink, she looked very confused. Wei Yu said, Continue. Pei Jiao took a deep breath. Continue with what? Wei Yu smiled. Is it done? Okay, its done. Pei Jiao stuttered. You, you, look at the mirror yourself. Ive already applied it. But Wei Yu said, But youre blocking the mirror. How do I look? Pei Jiao pretended to come down and let him look in the mirror, but Wei Yu grabbed the back of her waist. This way, her upper body had no choice but to pounce forward as if it was inertial. He took the opportunity to kiss her. In the end, Pei Jiaos face was covered in white cream. As their ears rubbed, she suggested, Why dont you go to work today? Wei Yu was still immersed in the lingering kiss just now. For a long time, he savored it. When he suddenly heard her ask him to go to work, the gentleness on his face faded and a layer of coldness appeared. Dont you want me to accompany you? Pei Jiao asked, But you have to work, right? Wei Yu tightened his grip on her waist. Youre more important. Pei Jiao chuckled. Are you afraid that Ill run away? She hadnt said it casually. Shed said it on purpose, and Wei Yu had given her the expected answer. Yes, in case you suddenly run away and I never find you again. Pei Jiaos eyes flashed. Are you really afraid that Ill leave you? Wei Yus answer was so honest. Im afraid. Im very afraid. Pei Jiao snickered. What should I do? I think I accidentally stole your heart. You also know that you stole my heart. Wei Yu held her face in his hands, his movements extremely judgmental. So what if you stole it? You dont have to return it to me. I just want you to be by my side, okay? Of course, Pei Jiao replied without thinking. Wei Yu was slightly stunned. Then, he pressed Pei Jiao into his arms and kissed her for a long time. Wei Yu did not go to the laboratory all day. Just like yesterday, he stayed by Pei Jiaos side. In Ji Hes words, Young Master, hes been sticking to Miss Fei Yi from morning to night. Hes just short of taking a rope to tie Miss Fei Yis belt. After hearing Ji Hes report, Matriarch Wei calmly put down her teacup and said, Looks like I have to go back and prepare. Xiu Zhi asked, Madam is planning to go back and prepare Young Master and Miss Pei Ahem! Matriarch Wei interrupted Xiu Zhi in time. Beside her, Ji He was dumbfounded. Aunt Xiu Zhi, who did you say Young Master was marrying? Xiu Zhi said, Assistant Ji, Im talking about Miss Fei Yi. It might be an accent problem. You didnt understand. Is it an accent? Ji He was still a little stunned. l think I heard Miss Pei? What Miss Pei! Where did this Miss Pei come from? Matriarch Wei said unhappily, Why are you so deaf at such a young age? Xiu Zhi clearly said Miss Fei Yi. I heard it clearly. Ji He felt wronged. Auntie Xiu Zhi had clearly said that it was an accent problem, but the Matriarch blamed him for having an empty ear. Its my fault. I heard it wrongly. Ji He did not dare to stay any longer, afraid of being scolded. The banquet is about to start. Ill rush Young Master. Matriarch Wei waved her hand. Go, go. After Ji He left, Matriarch Wei glanced at Xiu Zhi. That mouth of yours. Xiu Zhi said, Assistant Ji shouldnt think too much about it. Besides, Young Master and Miss Pei are very close now. It wont be long before Miss Peis identity is exposed. Matriarch Wei said, Thats true, but I promised Jiaojiao that I would keep this secret for her Eh, forget it, forget it. Youre not unreasonable. I hope they get married as soon as possible. Ji He went to rush Wei Yu at five. It was almost six oclock when Wei Yu brought Pei Jiao to Minister Lins residence. Wen Qiong was busy inside. There was also someone from the canteen helping to cook. They were all making home-cooked dishes and could smell the fragrance before they came in. Grandma! Pei Jiao saw Matriarch Wei sitting there and was about to go over. However, Wei Yu held her hand tightly. Theres no hurry. Lets go over together. Pei Jiao sighed helplessly. Wei Yu, I dont even know whats wrong with you. Wei Yus expression was calm. Nothing. I just dont want to be separated from you.. Chapter 684 - Chapter 684: Take It For Your Own (1) Chapter 684: Take It For Your Own (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao vaguely felt that Wei Yu had already found out about contacting Beike that night. However, that cell phone should be fine. Moreover, after interacting with her for so long, she felt that with Wei Yus personality, if he knew that she was contacting the outside world and had a suspicious identity, he would definitely not allow her to do whatever she wanted under his nose. In order to verify what she was thinking, Pei Jiao suddenly reached out. Can I use your cell phone? Wei Yus face tightened. What for? Pei Jiao felt that her guess was gradually being confirmed. Wei Yus reaction was to ask her what she was doing with his cell phone and not what she wanted it for. Playing mahjong or playing Fight the Landlord. She hid her emotions and leaned against him with a sweet smile. l thought you didnt know how to play mahjong. I can teach you. Wei Yu said, Not interested. Pei Jiao egged her on. Its good to play it during boredom. Wei Yus rejection made Pei Jiao unable to refute. Grandma likes to play mahjong, and so does Wen Qiong. The three of you can sit together later. Pei Jiao was surprised. Grandma really knows how to play mahjong? Wei Yu remained calm. Shes an expert. Then I must challenge an expert. Pei Jiao looked expectant. Wei Yu smiled and asked her, l didnt know you knew how to play mahjong after being together for so long. Who did you learn it from in the past? You want to know? Pei Jiao deliberately teased him. Then l wont tell you! Pei Jiao could have told Wei Yu generously. However, she was worried that there would be no end to it. When the time came, she would even be tricked by Wei Yu. This person had been a little neurotic recently. He had been watching her from morning to night, afraid that she would run away. In addition, Pei Jiao kept feeling that she might have exposed something, but Wei Yu was holding back. She had to steady herself. Go greet Grandma first. Shall we go together? Pei Jiao held Wei Yu l s arm. Wei Yu nodded. Mm. The two of them walked up to Matriarch Wei. Pei Jiao let go of Wei Yus arm and squatted in front of Matriarch Wei. She called out sweetly, Grandma. When Matriarch Wei saw the two of them walking over arm in arm, she was almost smiling. Where did you go this morning? You didnt even come to talk to Grandma. Pei Jiao bit her lip and turned to look at the culprit, Wei Yu. Its all because of him. Of course I want to accompany you. Matriarch Wei looked at Wei Yu, who was standing at the side, and reprimanded, How can you pester Fei Yi all day long and not leave her side? Wei Yu had a valid reason. Shes my girlfriend. Matriarch Wei was stunned when she heard that. Then, she was caught between laughter and tears. Fei Yi is only your girlfriend now, not your wife. Besides, if Fei Yi annoys you one day and throws you away, Ill see if you can find a place to cry. Pei Jiao chuckled. Grandma, how could Wei Yu cry? Matriarch Wei said, Thats not necessarily true. But no one would have thought that this was all a story for another day. Wei Yu sat down beside her and said faintly, Do you want to see me cry? Pei Jiao turned to look at him. Why dont you cry for me now? These words sounded like teasing. Wei Yu couldnt help but laugh. He reached out to Pei Jiao. Get up. Matriarch Wei also quickly raised Pei Jiaos wrist. Your feet will be numb from squatting for too long. Get up and sit down to talk. Alright. Pei Jiao placed her hand in Wei Yu e s and got up to sit in the empty seat beside him. Wei Yu, youre here. Lin Zheng walked over with a pot of freshly brewed Luohan fruit tea. Wei Yu nodded. Mm. As soon as Lin Zheng came over, he couldnt help but tease Wei Yu. Youve already taken a two-day break. Wei Yu replied calmly, can still take a full half a month of leave. Lin Zheng poured a cup of Luohan fruit tea for everyone and sat down. Youve indeed saved enough time for your leave. Its time to take it. However, you never take leave usually. The bases workaholic is referring to you. Its quite rare for you to have two days of leave in a row. Wei Yu rested his elbows on the small table beside him and smiled. Its not like the entire base doesnt know that Im in a relationship. Whats there to be curious about? Im just accompanying my girlfriend. Lin Zheng clicked his tongue. Youre just short of writing the words Im in a relationship on your forehead. Youre afraid that everyone wont know that our irontree has finally bloomed. Wei Yu said, Its blooming, and its very lush. In the past, when faced with these teasing, Wei Yu would have a dark expression and not like others to discuss him too much.. Chapter 685 - Chapter 685: Take It For Your Own (2) Chapter 685: Take It For Your Own (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations But now, he could respond to these teasing and teasing with ease. The meal started at six-thirty sharp. The atmosphere at the dining table was very lively. A large round table had been moved here at the last minute. After everyone sat down, the seats were actually just right. Pei Jiao naturally sat beside Wei Yu. She asked casually, Do you know how to drink? Wei Yu: l dont know how to drink. You really dont know how to drink it? Pei Jiao asked again in an uncertain tone. Wei Yu replied, l dont know how to drink. Lin Zheng, who had just stood up, said, Little Fei Yi, hes fooling you. Although this kid wont fall after a thousand cups, he can drink. As Lin Zheng finished speaking, Wei Yus expression immediately changed. Pei Jiao smiled meaningfully at the side. Are you afraid that Ill despise you if I find out that you drink? Wei Yu turned to glare at Lin Zheng, who was baffled. Soon, he turned to Pei Jiao and said, Drinking is a hindrance. I dont drink much. Pei Jiao said, Ive never felt that drinking makes things worse. Its always my own problem to make things worse. It has nothing to do with alcohol. But if you drink some alcohol, you should feel better tonight. Wei Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed Pei Jiaos wrist. Tonight With this tug, he pulled Pei Jiao into his arms. Pei Jiao felt puzzled and propped her head on his chest. What? Wei Yu restrained his anger. What are your plans for tonight? The two of them sat next to each other as if no one was around. They were at the dining table. When others saw this scene, they felt that the two of them were extremely close. However, only Pei Jiao could feel Wei Yus uneasiness and suppressed anger. She took a deep breath and lowered her voice to whisper in his ear, Desire is hard to fill. You didnt sleep well last night. Wouldnt you be able to sleep well if 1 persuade you to drink some wine tonight? I heard Her hot breath sprayed on the edge of Wei Yus ear. Wei Yus ears turned almost visibly red. Pei Jiao chuckled. l heard that its impossible for men to do it after they drink. Look at how understanding I am. At that moment, she could clearly feel Wei Yus breathing quicken. However, her face was in front of him, almost blocking Wei Yus side profile. The people at the dining table could not see how lustful Wei Yus expression was at this moment. Pei Jiao giggled. Everyone is watching. Control yourself. Wei Yu quickly adjusted his breathing. Apart from his ears, which were still very red, his face looked to have returned to normal. He slowly moved back and his hand under the table held hers tightly. Where did you hear that? Pei Jiao bit her lip. Do I have to explain this? Wei Yu sneered. Explanation? From what youre saying, you seem to know a Pei Jiao raised her hand and gestured. Its alright. Its just a little. Lin Zheng saw that the two of them were whispering. They looked so intimate that he couldnt stand it anymore. Lets talk when we get back. Pei Jiao quickly sat upright. Wei Yu held one of Pei Jiaos hands tightly and continued to adjust his breathing. The dishes were served one after another, and everyone prepared to eat. Lin Zheng usually did not have any other hobbies except for drinking a little wine. Tonight, he took out all his precious wine and poured a glass for everyone. Then, he raised his glass. To the Matriarch first. After that, everyone raised their glasses and toasted Matriarch Wei. Matriarch Wei did not change the wine in her glass. Drinking was very easy for her. It was just that as she got older, Xiu Zhi often supervised her not to drink too much. There was only one glass tonight. After that, everyone ate and chatted and drank freely. Lin Zheng felt that it was boring to drink alone and wanted to pull Wei Yu along. However, Wei Yu made up his mind not to drink tonight and rejected him. Lin Zheng was uninterested. At this moment, Pei Jiao suddenly raised her glass. Minister Lin, Ill drink with you. Pei Jiaos words were filled with the heroic aura of the martial world. Matriarch Wei smiled dotingly, and Wen Qiong smiled happily. Lin Zheng did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Wei Yu, who was sitting beside Pei Jiao. Wei Yus face was dark and he did not look like someone to be trifled with. Lin Zheng was about to say forget it when Pei Jiao stood up and came out of her seat. It seemed that she was planning to change seats. At this moment, Wei Yu, who had not said anything, suddenly reached out and pulled Pei Jiao back to sit. You cant drink it. Pei Jiao was pulled to sit down, almost spilling the wine in her glass.. She asked indignantly, Why cant I drink it? Chapter 686 - Chapter 686: Take It For Your Own (3) Chapter 686: Take It For Your Own (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Wei Yus face darkened. Can you drink it? Pei Jiao raised her head and puffed out her chest. She cleared her throat. Of course I can drink. If you dont believe me, wait and see me drink Lin Buzheng down. Lin Zheng: Initially, Lin Zheng did not want to drink with Pei Jiao because he felt that firstly, it was because Pei Jiao was a girl, and secondly, he could not drink to his hearts content through Wei Yu. However, after Pei Jiao said that, he immediately became anxious. Drink me down? I want to see how capable you are! Lin Zheng immediately took it seriously. Pei Jiao was also very serious. Just as she was about to get up with the wine glass in her hand, she was stopped by Wei Yu again. Who was drunk after drinking two bottles of Rio last time? Pei Jiao was exasperated. Youre not allowed to mention it! Wei Yu said, Im just reminding you not to force yourself. Whos trying to be brave? Pei Jiao was extremely unhappy. Even if you dont drink, you cant stop me from drinking, right? I was originally happy tonight. Ill beat you up if you stop me. As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Everyone looked at Pei Jiao again. Even Wei Yu was stunned. Pei Jiao realized that she had gone too far. Just as she felt so embarrassed that she didnt know what to say to smooth things over, Matriarch Wei laughed out loud. Hahahahahaha! Right on the heels of that was Wen Qiong and Lin Zhengs laughter. Soon, the entire dining table was filled with demonic laughter. Other than Pei Jiao, who was still in an awkward and confused state, and Wei Yu, who was being scolded, Wei Yu did not seem angry at all. He stood up and pulled Pei Jiao back to sit down. Then, he placed his hand on Pei Jiaos shoulder. Ill drink. Eat well. Pei Jiao muttered, Didnt you say you didnt want to drink it? Wei Yu said, Im afraid youll beat me up. Pei Jiao: She had not seen a smile on Wei Yus face all night, but after Pei Jiao said that she wanted to beat him up, a long-lost smile appeared on his face. His mood seemed to improve a lot. Pei Jiao was puzzled. Could this person be in need of a beating?? After dinner, Wei Yu still drank a lot, but there was no drunkenness on his face. Instead, Lin Zheng was a little drunk and began to sing. The smile on Matriarch Weis face did not stop. She and Wen Qiong beat the rhythm of Lin Zheng, who was singing beside them. As Lin Zheng sang, he began to dance again. Ji He sang beside him. Lin Zheng danced and pulled Wen Qiong along. The atmosphere was extremely cheerful. Pei Jiao smiled especially happily at the side. Seeing that Lin Zheng and Wen Qing were dancing especially well, she was eager to try. She turned to Wei Yu and said, Shall we dance too? Wei Yu replied gently, Okay. Soon, Pei Jiao and Wei Yu joined the dance floor. Pei Jiao was not good at dancing and could only follow them. Wei Yu, who had always been cold, gradually became uncoordinated under Pei Jiaos lead. He quickly took back the lead and let her catch up with him. This night was the happiest night Pei Jiao had been in the base for so long. Looking at every smile in front of her, she couldnt help but think how good it would be if she could always be so happy. After the meal, Pei Jiao pulled Matriarch Wei and Wen Qiong to play mahjong. Wei Yu was a little drunk. At first, he could still force himself to watch Pei Jiao play mahjong with them. After watching for a while, he couldnt take it anymore and closed his eyes to take a nap. Pei Jiaos card skills were indeed impressive. She had won a lot of money alone. Matriarch Wei, who had been a veteran for so many years, had to admit that she was inferior. Wen Qiong asked, Who did you learn to play mahjong from? Pei Jiao replied on a whim, My sister-in-law, but Im not asking her to teach me. I saw that she was very good at cards, so I learned it because 1 thought it was interesting. Wen Qiong gave Pei Jiao a thumbs up. Impressive. Self-taught. After playing cards for a few rounds, Matriarch Wei could not take it anymore and could only retreat first. It was clearly impossible for Pei Jiao and Wen Qiong to fight each other. This banquet could only end here. Pei Jiao called Ji He over. Carry him back. Ji He rubbed his hands and said, How would I dare to carry Young Master? Just hold him. Pei Jiao thought about it and agreed. Wei Yu cared about his reputation, so he said, Alright. Hold him steady. Dont drop him. Ot course, Pei Jiao did not have to say this. Ji He would definitely help her up. It took seven to eight minutes to reach the accommodation building. Ji He asked, Miss Fei Yi, should we help Young Master to your side or his side? Pei Jiao thought for a moment. To my side. Ji He chuckled in his heart and nodded steadily. Okay, Miss Fei Yi.. Chapter 687 - Chapter 687: Take It For Your Own (4) Chapter 687: Take It For Your Own (4) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Two minutes later, Ji He helped the drunk Wei Yu to the bed where Pei Jiao was sleeping before leaving. Seeing that Ji He had left, Pei Jiao went to lock the door and turned back to the bed. She knelt on one knee and reached out to pat Wei Yus face. Wei Yu? Wake up. No response. Pei Jiao called out again, but there was still no response. She slapped his cheek harder. Two smacks and he still showed no sign of waking up. Youre still drunk, arent you? As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yu opened his eyes. Pei Jiao was shocked and leaned back. Wei Yu reached out and pulled her back, throwing herself against him. Pei Jiao lay on the ground and did not dare to move. She asked nervously, Youre not drunk? Wei Yu said, A little. Pei Jiao said, Then why didnt you react when I called you just now? Wei Yu said, Im wondering if youll slap me to death if I dont wake up. Pei Jiao: This was awkward. This person was awake and even pretended to be drunk. He did not make a sound on the way back with Ji Hes help. Pei Jiao rubbed her face with both hands. l just used a little more strength. Does it hurt? Wei Yu pressed her hand down and whispered, It doesnt hurt. Pei Jiao frowned and said, My heart aches. Wei Yu chuckled. l didnt feel your heart ache when you attacked just now. Pei Jiao propped herself up on his chest. Ive already said that Im naturally stronger. Why dont I try again? Wei Yu grabbed her hand. That wont be necessary. She got up. Im going to the bathroom. Wei Yu nodded. After Pei Jiao entered, she closed the bathroom door behind her. She took out the phone she had stolen from Wei Yu and entered the unlock password to call Beike. The first call rang for a long time, but Beike did not pick up. Pei Jiao was extremely anxious. What the hell! Pei Jiao was so anxious that she wanted to fold her phone. She resisted the urge to destroy it and continued to dial. As she waited quietly for the next few seconds, she felt tormented and anxious. She paced back and forth. Finally, when the last call was about to end, the other party finally picked up. Pei Jiao immediately pressed the phone to her ear. Why arent you answering my call? She waited for Beike to explain, but what awaited her was another cold voice Im afraid youll be disappointed if I answer. The moment she heard Wei Yus voice, Pei Jiaos hair stood on end. She took down her cell phone and looked at the call carefully. It was clearly Beikes number, but why did the person who answered become Wei Yu? Could it be that he had captured Beike? Why arent you saying anything? Wei Yus voice came from the phone again. Pei Jiao felt a chill run down her spine, Her high-strung mental state prevented her from speaking normally. She was silent for a long time until she heard a small sound behind her. Realizing something, Pei Jiao turned around. When she saw Wei Yu standing outside the door, holding up his cell phone and talking to her, she felt her heart stop. Wei Yu took down his cell phone and smiled faintly. Why arent you saying anything? Pei Jiao swallowed. W-why were you the one who picked up this call? Wei Yu walked in step by step. Because Ive monitored every cell phone you can get your hands on, including the night you contacted the outside world. I know every word you said on the phone. Pei Jiaos breathing stopped and her face turned pale. Her guess had come true! Wei Yu actually found out about the conversation she had with Beike that night. He had been using all kinds of methods to get her to take the initiative to contact the outside world. This hateful man! Wei Yu also said, He didnt answer the call when I called. He should know that I called. In order to prevent you from contacting each other, 1 set this number to transfer. As long as you call him, it will automatically jump to my phone number and become a call to me. Is it still a surprise? Pei Jiao: No wonder! She knew it was clearly a call to Beike. So why was it Wei Yu who picked up? She thought that Beike had been kidnapped by Wei Yu! Pei Jiao quickly calmed down and asked coldly, So youve always suspected me. Youve never liked me? Thats not true! After she said those questioning words, Wei Yu visibly became nervous. He came in quickly and wrapped his hands around her shoulders as he spoke. He looked down at her and said, Its true that I like you, but its true that I suspect you. It doesnt conflict. I just want to figure out who you are and why you were in the mountains that night. I want to know why you came. Pei Jiao was expressionless. Then do you know why Im here now? Wei Yu was silent. Pei Jiao understood. Wei Yu still had not figured out her true identity. The only thing he had now was her call with Beike that night. Fortunately, Beike never called her by her name, nor did he mention anything about her family. Tell me your true identity. Wei Yu slowly tightened his grip on her shoulder. Whether youre here for that confidential document or for something else, with me around, no one can hurt you at all. Tell me your identity, okay? Pei Jiao laughed. Hehehehe Wei Yu frowned. What are you laughing at? Pei Jiao did not say anything. Suddenly, she took the initiative to reach out and climb onto Wei Yus neck. She tiptoed and kissed him. This sudden kiss stunned Wei Yu. His rational mind told him that she was doing this on purpose. He should push her away and stay rational and calm. But the kiss she took the initiative to wrap around made him unable to avoid it. He almost couldnt stop himself. After struggling internally for a moment, he gave up dispiritedly and sank into it with her. At that moment, he quickly made a decision. He would take her for himself. That way, she would always be his. The two of them would always be involved. All reason and calm were crushed by her passion at this moment. The kiss began with calculation and then spiraled out of control. It was only a few seconds apart. Pei Jiaos initiative became passive. It was only when the pain came that she realized how crazy her decision was. She had actually fallen with Wei Yu. However, she did not try to escape midway. She had already come to this point. She did not regret it. She only hoped that it would end quickly. The temperature in the room rose. The night was long and charming. After an unknown period of time At the last moment, Pei Jiao, who was almost exhausted, took advantage of Wei Yu t s extreme passion and used all her strength to slash at the back of his neck. The next second, Yu fell on Pei Jiao. That was the moment when he was least prepared. Pei Jiao panted and opened her eyes briefly. Her eyelashes trembled slightly before she quickly closed them again. When she finally recovered, she pushed the unconscious Wei Yu away and got out of bed to change, enduring the discomfort coming from her body. The bed was in a mess. At a glance, Pei Jiaos eyes hurt from the color on the bedsheets. She took a deep breath, her emotions sour and indescribable. After all the time it had taken, she hadnt expected to put herself in it. After changing, Pei Jiao took the pass. When she reached the door, she looked back at the unconscious Wei Yu. l dare to disregard the consequences, so I dont mind losing it. You owe me this. Retracting her gaze, she quickly composed herself and stepped out of the door.. Chapter 688 - Chapter 688: Wei Yu was Mad with Anger (1) Chapter 688: Wei Yu was Mad with Anger (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the early morning, Wei Yu woke up. The pain in the back of his neck made him frown. It took him a moment to recover before he could force himself up from the rumpled bed. When he opened his eyes, the room was in chaos. Memories of last night quickly flashed through his mind, from questioning her identity at the beginning to everything that happened later Every scene was engraved in his mind. He rolled out of bed and went in search of her. Fei Yi? Fei Yi Wei Yu called her name over and over again, looking for her. He deceived himselfshe had never left. The warmth of last night had been real. Everything had really happened, so how could he believe that shed disappeared? He searched the entire house. There were traces of her life everywhere. There were toiletries on the sink, towels, ladies slippers on the ground, clothes in the closet, and a glass of water on the cabinet. They were all traces of her existence. But he could no longer find her. In the end, Wei Yu was almost exhausted. The pain in the back of his neck made him dizzy. After losing his support, he was too weak and knelt on the floor. There was a thud. It hurt to the bone. The phone, which had landed on the floor at some point, began to vibrate at a frequency. The moment he heard his cell phone ring, Wei Yu seemed to have seen hope. He scrambled over and grabbed the cell phone. When he saw that the caller ID was Ji He, he felt disappointed. At the same time, he had a bad feeling. The vibrations kept ringing like a death warrant. Wei Yu picked it up and slowly pressed the phone to his ear. His tired voice seemed to take a century. What is it? Hearing this voice, Ji He was stunned. What was wrong with Young Master? However, before he could ask further, he quickly reported, Young Master, three hours ago, Miss Fei Yi left the base with that pass. Wei Yus hands were trembling as he confirmed word for word. What did you say? Ji He was extremely anxious and quickly repeated clearly, Young Master, three hours ago, Miss Fei Yi left the base with the pass you applied for her! Ji He also said, The security department contacted you, but Young Master, your phone has been unanswered. Young Master, are you alright? Wei Yu was furious. Why did you only inform me now about what happened three hours ago? When Ji He heard the young masters furious voice, he was so frightened that a chill ran down his spine. He explained, Because because when Miss Fei Yi left the base, she said shed be back before six. She also told the guard that you knew shed left. Coupled with the fact that she had a pass in her hand, the guard didnt make things difficult for her. Its already past six and shes not back yet. The police officer contacted me and explained the situation There was a bang. Wei Yu smashed his cell phone. The call was suddenly cut off. Ji He was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. Although he was not sure what exactly had happened that would cause Miss Fei Yi to leave overnight, Ji He could feel from Young Masters furious tone that something big had happened! ! Wei Yu casually put on a jacket and left. The early morning wind carried the spring frost and was bone-chilling. When the guard saw Wei Yu walking over with a dark expression, he immediately went forward. Dr. Wei! The next second, Wei Yu grabbed the guards collar and questioned coldly, How long has she been gone? The guard was so frightened that his face turned pale. He replied with a trembling voice, Shes been gone for almost three and a half hours. Wei Yu was furious and the veins on his arm bulged. It was especially terrifying. Ji He rushed over just in time to see this scene. Young Master, Young Master, Ive already sent someone to chase after Miss Fei Yi. It should Ji He wanted to say that he had sent out a lot of people and should be able to catch up to Miss Fei Yi However, looking at his young masters terrifying expression, Ji He felt that there was no need to continue speaking such comforting words. It had been three and a half hours. If someone had been there to receive her, they would have been long gone. Even if there was no one to receive them, it would be a landmine-like search through the mountains. It would be very difficult to find anyone in a short period of time. Wei Yu let go of the terrified guard. His eyes were scarlet and seemed to be suffused with blood. He said in a low and hoarse voice, Find! Ji He approached. Young Master Wei Yus stern gaze landed on Ji He as he said word by word, Find her! Even if we have to search the entire mountain, we have to find her! We have to find her! Okay, okay Ji He replied.. Chapter 689 - Chapter 689: Wei Yu Is Mad With Anger (2) Chapter 689: Wei Yu Is Mad With Anger (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Also, Wei Yu reminded her in a low voice, dont hurt her. Bring her back to me properly. Ji He quickly agreed. Understood. Wait a minute. Wei Yu pushed Ji He away. I lost her. Ill find her myself. Ji He: Ji He had never figured out what caused Miss Fei Yi to suddenly leave the base in the middle of the night. Most importantly, Young Master actually did not know when Miss Fei Yi left! It would probably be even harder to find her. The news of Pei Jiao leaving the base quickly spread to Matriarch Wei. Matriarch Wei was originally prepared to return to the Wei family today. When she woke up early in the morning, Xiu Zhi was helping her wash up. Before she was done, there was a knock on the door. Matriarch Wei quickly pushed Xiu Zhi away. Hurry up and open the door. It should be Jiaojiao. She knows that Im leaving this morning. Shes probably here to accompany me. Xiu Zhi put down the wooden comb and turned to open the door. The door opened and the person standing outside was Wen Qiong. She asked, Aunt Xiuzhi, is Matriarch up? Im up. Im washing up. Miss Wen, whats the matter? Xiu Zhi asked. Wen Qiongs expression was solemn. Ill tell Matriarch. Xiu Zhi nodded and turned to let Wen Qiong in. Wen Qiong walked to Matriarch Weis side. Matriarch. Seeing that the person who came was Wen Qiong, Matriarch Wei was not very disappointed. She asked, Whats wrong, Wen Qiong? Wen Qiongs expression was very serious. Its about Wei Yu. When Matriarch Wei heard that it was related to Wei Yu, she immediately sat up and looked nervous. Wei Yu? What happened to Wei Yu? Wen Qiong told Matriarch Wei everything she had learned this morning. When Matriarch Wei heard this, she frowned. Why did she leave overnight? Wen Qiong sighed. Im not sure about the exact situation yet. I only learned about it from Ji He. I heard that Fei Yi was still living with Wei Yu last night. When Fei Yi left, Wei Yu didnt know. I even suspect Matriarch Wei voiced Wen Qiongs suspicion. You suspect that when Fei Yi left, Wei Yu was in a coma. Wen Qiong nodded. Thats the only possibility. If Wei Yu knew that Fei Yi was leaving last night, he wouldnt have lost control so much after learning that she was gone this morning. This time, Matriarch Weis expression was even more solemn than when Wen Qiong came in. Where is Wei Yu now? Matriarch Wei asked in a low voice. Wen Qiong said, He left the base to look for Fei Yi. Matriarch Wei wanted to check on Wei Yus current situation and figure out what was going on. When she heard that he had already left the base, she could only give up for the time being. At this moment, Wen Qiong suddenly mentioned something in front of Matriarch Wei. Matriarch, Wei Yu doesnt know about this yet, but I think its necessary to mention it to you. Matriarch Wei asked, What is it? Wen Qiong said, Fei Yis real name is not Fei Yi. When Matriarch Wei heard Wen Qiongs words, she turned to look at Xiu Zhi beside her. Her gaze seemed to be asking silently, Did you say that? Xiu Zhi shook her head. Matriarch, I didnt mention this to anyone. Wen Qiong looked surprised. Matriarch, you know Fei Yis true identity? When Matriarch Wei asked Wen Jingqiong, she knew that there was no need to continue hiding it. Wen Qiong clearly knew about this before her. l do. Of course I know all about it. Meanwhile, in an SUV that drove into the capital, Pei Jiao sat curled up in the backseat. Her face was pale and she looked very haggard. Beike glanced at her from time to time through the rearview mirror and asked worriedly, Are you really not going to the hospital? Pei Jiao shook her head. No. Beike wiped his face and suppressed his frustration. l think youre almost in a daze. What kind of inhuman torture did you experience when you were locked up there? What did they do to you? Pei Jiao closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering. Dont ask. My heart is f*cking aching for you. Yet you told me not to ask. Do you believe that Ill go back and blow up that base? Beike was so angry that he said ruthless words. Pei Jiao said angrily, If you insist on bombing it, I definitely wont stop you. At most, Ill come to the prison to see you every year in the future. Beike: He cursed under his breath. How heartless. I was so worried about you for nothing. I even took such a big risk to pick you up. Thank you. Pei Jiao threw him a thank you and buried her head in her knees to escape. The journey from the base could be considered soul-stirring. On one hand, it was the discomfort coming from Pei Jiaos body. She could not walk fast or run. On the other hand, she was worried that Wei Yu would wake up soon. Once he chased after her, she would definitely be captured. Fortunately, she took Wei Yus other cell phone and kept in touch with Beike. When she saw Beike, she almost cried. At that time, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground. It was Beike who rushed over and carried her to the car. Beike booked a hotel. Pei Jiao slowly got out of the car. Her walking posture was a little strange. Beike could not stand it anymore. He carried Pei Jiao in his arms and walked into the hotel. Pei Jiao was not pretentious, mainly because she really did not want to walk now. They arrived outside the reserved suite on the ninth floor. Beike said, Please raise your hand and hug me tightly. Pei Jiao did as she was told and wrapped her arms around Beikes neck. Beike placed an arm across Pei Jiaos back knee. The hand around her waist freed itself and he took out the room card from his pocket. There was a beep and the door opened. Beike held the room card and carried Pei Jiao in. He placed her on the bed and stood up straight with his hands on his hips. He looked down at her and asked, What do you need? Food. Pei Jiao was very rude. Order one of my favorites. I want to eat my Bei Ke frowned. Not only were you beaten up there, but you werent even given food? Pei Jiao picked up a pillow and hugged it. She said aggrievedly, Yes, they hang me up every day and beat me up in all kinds of ways. They dont even give me food. I starve twice every three days F*ck! 1 didnt expect you to be so miserable there. Beikes heart ached when he heard that. Youre so hungry, but they actually didnt kill you. Youre lucky. Pei Jiao: What kind of words were those? Are you hoping that Ill die there? Pei Jiao rolled her eyes at him. Beike: Im just sighing at how tough your life is. Pei Jiao said, Get lost. Beike did not say anything else and resentfully rolled off to buy food for Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao rested for a while before going to the bathroom to take a shower. She wanted to wash away all the dirt on her body. However, when she took off her clothes and saw herself in the mirror, she couldnt help but scold, Beast.. Chapter 690 - Chapter 690: The Lowly Wei Yu (1) Chapter 690: The Lowly Wei Yu (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Beike returned, Pei Jiao was still in the bathroom. He placed the food and clothes he had brought back on the sofa and the small table board, respectively. Then he walked to the bathroom door and knocked In there? He asked at the top of his voice. After a while, Pei Jiaos voice sounded. Yes. Beike was relieved. Ive bought all the food you like. There are also clothes. I bought two sets according to your favorite style. Pei Jiao said, Okay. Beike retracted his hand and turned her back to the bathroom door. She muttered, Wear whichever one you like. Pei Jiao said, l heard you. Beike put his hands in his pockets. Why are you so impatient? Pei Jiao did not respond. The bathroom suddenly became very quiet. Beike did not hear Pei Jiaos voice and quickly turned back. He knocked anxiously on the door. Hello? Are you alright? The bathroom door opened. A wave of heat and fragrance surged out. Beike raised his hand and waved, and a slender figure appeared in front of him. Pei Jiao was wearing a waffle-patterned bathrobe provided by the hotel and a white water-sucking towel wrapped around her head. Her face was slightly rosy and she looked good. Beike clicked his tongue. Were you cultivating inside? Pei Jiao wrapped her bathrobe around herself. Im in the immortal class. No wonder immortal energy lingered around you when you came out. Beike laughed out loud. But I almost fainted from choking on so much immortal energy. You were suffocating inside, but you didnt suffocate. Pei Jiao raised her eyebrows. What did you say? Beike bowed. l said, 1 wish Missy good health. Pei Jiao said, Rise. Beike smiled. You really think of me as a slave. After Pei Jiao raised her hand to hold the towel that had become a little heavy, she walked towards the living room. Beike followed her and asked, On the way back just now, you said you wanted me to book you a flight to Mauritius. Are you sure? What do you mean sure? You havent booked it yet? Pei Jiao turned to look at him. This gaze was not to be trifled with. Beike smiled bitterly. Im just confirming with you again. Ill book it immediately. Oh right, are you alone? Pei Jiao said faintly, Otherwise, would I be half a person? Beike: Pei Jiao walked to the sofa and bent down to open the bag to look at the clothes Beike had brought. In the end, she chose a black sweater and jeans. She took the clothes back to the bedroom to change and blow-dry her hair. When she came out again, Beike had already opened all the food and placed it on the small table. You can eat now. Beike waved at her. Pei Jiao took off the towel on her head and casually placed it on the back of the chair beside her. Then, she walked over and sat down. Looking at the braised pork chops, crayfish, and a sticky Malatang in front of her, she swallowed and rubbed her hands together, ready to take it directly. As soon as she reached out, she heard a smack. Pei Jiao retracted her hand, her face filled with anger. It hurts. Beike sneered. Its the pain that will teach you a lesson. Ive already placed the disposable gloves in front of you. Cant you see them. Hurry up and put them on. You control too much. Pei Jiao reluctantly put on disposable gloves. She liked to eat delicacies like crayfish, beautiful frogs, and roasted meat. These were also available at the base, but in order to maintain her persona, she had never taken the initiative to ask to eat them. Now that she had returned to her life, she could finally realize her freedom as a crayfish. Pei Jiao was impressed. Seeing that she was eating so happily, Beike did not send the few crayfish he peeled into his mouth and gave them all to Pei Jiao. He couldnt help but ask curiously, How have you spent the past month or so there? Pei Jiao said as she ate, l got by. Beike gritted his teeth. Im being serious. Pei Jiaos mouth was red from the spiciness. Beike poured her a glass of soda. After she drank it, she said, How do you think you can live with someone you hate every day? Someone you hate Beike thought for a few seconds. Wei Yu? Hearing this name again, Pei Jiao was clearly stunned. Beike saw through it. Actually, when you gave me the map that night, I guessed that you should be by Wei Yus side. Logically speaking, if you wanted to take revenge on him for breaking off the engagement, it wouldnt have taken so long. Its been more than a month. What are you still doing there? Pei Jiaos puffed cheeks slowly stopped. Its a long story. Beike: Then lets make it short Pei Jiaos expression was solemn. l played Wei Yu. Beikes reaction was slower.. How? Chapter 691 - Chapter 691: The Lowly Wei Yu (2) Chapter 691: The Lowly Wei Yu (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After quietly looking at each other for a few seconds, Beike looked enlightened. Oh, I understand. You toyed with him. Pei Jiao: Beike sat closer to Pei Jiao. At this moment, his face was filled with gossip. So after you played with his feelings, you dumped him? Does he know who you are? Will he come looking for you for revenge later? Pei Jiao had thought that Beike was a little too nosy. However, her eyebrows twitched when she heard Beikes last sentence, Will he come looking for you for revenge? She had a very bad feeling. She straightened. Since Ive done this, do you think Im afraid hell come after me? Even if he does, do you think Ill be afraid? Thats hard to say. Beike told Pei Jiao the truth. To be honest, when you disappeared, I went to investigate Wei Yu when I couldnt find you. Wei Yus personality is really bad. Whoever provokes him will be unlucky. Pei Jiao: When Wei Yu found out her true identity, he would definitely come looking for trouble with her. Pei Jiao had already expected this. That was why she had quickly asked Beike to book a long flight to Mauritius for her on the vvay back. She had to go out and hide. As for how long she would hide, it would depend on the situation. Stop it. Pei Jiaos hair was already standing on end. She quickly gestured for Beike to shut up. From now on, dont mention Wei Yu in front of me and dont mention the previous engagement. I have nothing to do with him! Beike could tell the seriousness of the matter from Pei Jiaos tone. It seemed that a lot had really happened in the past month. Tell me about you. Pei Jiao looked at Beike. Where did you go after we got into the car accident that night? Youre still talking. I almost died that night! Although it had been a month, now that she thought about it again, Beike still felt shaken. The two of them chatted for a long time until Pei Jiao finished all the crayfish in front of her. Only when Pei Jiao was sleepy did Beike leave. Before leaving, Beike did not forget to leave a brand new cell phone for Pei Jiao. Although youre going out to hide, contact your family before you go out to hide. They should be very worried about you. Pei Jiao took the new cell phone. Thanks. Not long after Beike left, Pei Jiao followed closely behind. She remembered something urgent that she had yet to do. Last night happened so suddenly with Wei Yu. What if she was pregnant? She had to buy medicine to avoid it. She searched the nearby pharmacy on her phone. After identifying the nearest pharmacy, she went straight out the door. The round trip would take no more than seven or eight minutes. When Pei Jiao returned to the hotel lobby with the medicine, she suddenly stopped. The car parked by the roadside attracted her attention. If she wasnt mistaken, the car was Oh no! Pei Jiao cursed under her breath and turned to run. But it was too late. Not far behind her, a dark-faced man was standing there waiting for her. Pei Jiao almost turned to stone when she saw Wei Yue God! Did he have to tease her like this How long has it been? Wei Yu had found her! Why arent you running anymore? Wei Yu walked towards Pei Jiao step by step, his expression terrifyingly dark. Pei Jiao slowly retreated. How, how, how did you find me? Wei Yus eyes were cold. Is it difficult to find you? Pei Jiao shrank her neck and swallowed. No, its not difficult, but it shouldnt be. Wei Yu approached Pei Jiao step by step. Due to his almost cannibalistic aura, Pei Jiao tactfully did not run away under his nose. Could she escape? The answer was obvious. She knew that Wei Yu would definitely flare up next. He might even lose control and do something to hurt her, such as hitting her? Pei Jiao was ready to fight back. However, the next second, she was stunned. Wei Yu did not shout at her or hit her. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly as he muttered, Fei Yi Pei Jiao was stunned. His anger seemed to have dissipated, but she could sense that he was nervous and agitated. That nervousness was fear that she would escape, and that agitationwas he had regained what he had lost. He held her tightly in his arms. I found you Fei Yi, Ive been looking for you for a long, long time. I was afraid I wouldnt find you Dont leave, okay? Pei Jiao asked him calmly, How exactly did you find me? Wei Yus tone was not steady. The location of that cell phone is here.. Chapter 692 - Chapter 692: The Lowly Wei Yu (3) Chapter 692: The Lowly Wei Yu (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Didnt she lose that cell phone halfway? It was because she was worried that there was still a location on the phone, but she had clearly throw it halfway through. How could the location still appear? No At that time, she did not have the strength to walk anymore. When she fell to the ground, she threw the phone aside. Beike rushed to carry her back to the car, then seemed to turn back Fuck! Dont tell me that guy picked up the phone again? As she was thinking, Wei Yus magnified face suddenly appeared in front of her. Before Pei Jiao could react, Wei Yu had already cupped her face and kissed her. When Pei Jiao reacted, she immediately pushed him away. The rejected kiss disappointed Wei Yu. He asked, Fei Yi, dont you like me anymore? Pei Jiao said without hesitation, Ive never liked you. Wei Yu was stunned. The next second, his expression suddenly became furious and he grabbed her shoulder forcefully. l know your identity is suspicious. I knew it a long time ago! But I still indulged myself in falling in love with you and falling for you. But in the end, it was you who played with me? Why? Pei Jiao narrowed her eyes and asked uncertainly, You dont know the reason? Wei Yu asked, Should I know? Pei Jiao thought that he had chased after her after knowing her identity, but he did not know anything yet. He had probably chased after her after waking up. At this thought, Pei Jiao suddenly smiled. Are you laughing at my wishful thinking? Or are you laughing at me for being stupid enough to be fooled by your methods? The veins on Wei Yus arms bulged as he questioned her angrily. Tell me, why did you do this to me? Pei Jiao was dizzy from his shaking. But she didnt answer a word. She just looked at him with pity. Wei Yu couldnt stand her gaze. Perhaps its because you have a mission and came to the base just to get what you want? Did you get it? If you dont, Ill give it to you. Ill give it all to you, okay? At this moment, Wei Yu placed his self-esteem at the bottom. Or He guessed on his own. If our identities are opposite, I can stop working at the base. Ill go back to the Wei family. Ill stay with you as my Young Master Wei, okay? Pei Jiao: She knew that this relationship she had manipulated might affect Wei Yu. But she hadnt expected the impact to be so great. He even gave his job at the base to be with her. That seemed to be his favorite job, didnt it? Say something. Can you answer me? Wei Yu begged her in a low voice. Pei Jiao did not want to say anything. She was only thinking about how she could escape. Then there was a screech of brakes Screech! Pei Jiao and Wei Yu turned to look at the roadside at the same time. Beike got out of the car aggressively. He held a fire extinguisher in his hand and strode over. Then, he raised his hand and pulled the safety catch on the fire extinguisher. He aimed it at her and Wei Yu and hissed. Pei Jiaos eyes widened in disbelief. The next second, she was protected in Wei Yus arms. Almost in the blink of an eye, white mist filled the sky, blocking all vision. Pei Jiao felt a pulling force, followed right on the heels of a muffled groan and the sound of fighting. She couldnt tell the direction in the white fog and could only walk around based on her intuition. She suddenly bumped into a human wall. The next thing she knew, she was being pulled over. Pei Jiao thought it was Wei Yu and tried to break free with her hands and feet. If she couldnt break free, she would pinch him. Beikes grimacing voice sounded. Its me. Pei Jiao was stunned for a moment before she exploded. You f*cking! My mothers fine. Stop talking. Get in the car first. Beike pulled Pei Jiao out of the white fog, stuffed her into the car, and drove away.. Chapter 693 - Chapter 693: Direct Confrontation (1) Chapter 693: Direct Confrontation (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Cough cough cough cough Pei Jiao kept coughing, and her eyes were red. Beike looked at her in the inner rearview mirror and asked in a slightly worried tone, Are you okay? Im fine Pei Jiao raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Beike happened to see this scene. Why are you still crying? Didnt I just use a fire extinguisher to stab him a few times? Its not like 1 took his life. Why is your heart aching?! My heart aches, my ass! Pei Jiao quickly adjusted her breathing. You cant differentiate between friend and foe and rush over to kill indiscriminately. Your eyes are red from killing, but you dont allow me to choke? When Beike heard this, he laughed in a muffled voice. Then what can I do? Otherwise, you want me to snatch you back from him alone? I want this kind of unusual method to catch him off guard and compete to see whos crazier. Look, didnt I successfully snatch you back from him? Pei Jiao: You did, but I almost choked to death. Beike sneered. Its fine. Youre still alive. Pei Jiao: Beike added, And the situation was urgent. It was good enough to snatch you back from him. Otherwise, you wouldnt be in my car now, but in his. Hed take you back and lock you up. Although there was nothing wrong with Beikes words, when Pei Jiao thought of the taste of being killed by the fire extinguisher just now, she would never forget it. By the way! Pei Jiao suddenly stood up and placed her hand on the back of Beikes seat. She asked him, Did you lose that cell phone? Beike was dumbfounded. Cell phone? What cell phone? Pei Jiao said, When you picked me up last night, you carried me into the car. Did you even go back and pick up a cell phone? Just the cell phone alone made Beike at a loss. However, Pei Jiao was so detailed that Beike immediately remembered. He nodded. Yes, I picked up the cell phone, but I threw it in the trunk. I thought you might use it in the future. Use your ass! Pei Jiaos expression changed rapidly. Its really you. I knew it was you. Beike: what? Shut up. Pei Jiao turned to look for the cell phone. The trunk was not easy to flip over. Pei Jiao used her hands and feet and spent a lot of effort to find the cell phone in the corner of the trunk. As Beike drove steadily, she glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Pei Jiao was holding the cell phone excitedly. She smiled and said, 1 knew you would still use that cell phone. Fortunately, I put it away for you. You Huh? Why did you throw the phone? Pei Jiao raised the cell phone out of the car window. Pei Jiao closed the car window and said, Its because you picked up this cell phone that Wei Yu found me so quickly. Otherwise, why do you think he appeared downstairs in the hotel? The moment she saw Wei Yu, her hair stood on end. She had thought that Wei Yu was very capable, which was why he had found her so quickly. Beikes reaction was clearly stunned. Theres a location on the phone? Pei Jiao rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to reply. With a smack, Beike slapped his forehead. Its my fault, its my fault. Why did I think in this direction at that time? Pei Jiao said, Thanks to you, Im not deadah It was said that one could not speak too soon of a fluke. Before she could finish speaking, Pei Jiao was thrown to the side and hit the inner door. Clang! Thump. Unprepared, Pei Jiao was hit twice in a row. Beikes face turned pale. As she sped up and looked at the road ahead, he asked nervously, Are you alright? No voice answered him. Beike panicked. Hello? Pei Jiao? Pei Jiao, are you alright? Hello? Pei Jiao? Pei Jiao? Beike called out a few times, but he did not hear Pei Jiaos movements. If not for the car chasing after him, he would have stopped long ago. Moreover, he would not have hit Pei Jiao so hard! As Beike drove steadily, he paid attention to the car following closely behind and was worried that something had happened to Pei Jiao. Dizzy or dead? Why didnt you say anything? Dad? Pei Jiao, who had finally recovered, replied with a sigh, Hey, Daddy is fine. Beike: The huge rock in his heart was finally relieved. This time, Beike could finally drive in peace. l called you for a long time, but you didnt respond. I thought you were dead. Pei Jiao propped herself up on her arms. Youve always hoped for the best for me. You can move, right? Beike sounded worried.. Chapter 694 - Chapter 694: Direct Confrontation (2) Chapter 694: Direct Confrontation (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao had already returned to her seat. If Im not dead, I can still move. Beike: Thats good. Pei Jiao rubbed her knees and elbows that were hurting from the collision. It was so painful that her brows could not relax for a long time. She endured the pain and asked, What happened just now? You suddenly made a sharp turn and didnt even tell me. Do you know that I was almost crippled by you? Beike raised his chin, indicating that she should look behind her. Here. Pei Jiao turned to look out the rear window. She realized that it was Wei Yus most frequent Cayenne, following their car. Pei Jiao gritted her molars. A dog skin plaster. Beike hummed a tune and teased, l really didnt expect you to be so charming. In just a month, you charmed that Wei guy and chased after you. Pei Jiao said, Your father is infinitely charming. Beike clicked his tongue. Its one thing to charm him. Its another thing for him to settle scores with you. The two dont conflict. Its indeed time for you to go out and hide. If you fall into his hands again, its hard to guarantee that he wont be crazy enough to imprison you. Pei Jiaos hair stood on end. Dont scare me. Its not a scare, its a reminder. Beike restrained the sloppy look on his face. Sit tight. Im going to start taking a detour and dump that dog skin plaster. Beike drove steadily. Worried that Pei Jiao would be too nervous, he even played light music to relax her. Half an hour later, Beike cursed as he parked the car outside a mall. He got out of the car and brought Pei Jiao into the mall. Its really a dog skin plaster. I cant shake it off no matter what. Beikes expression was extremely ugly, because this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. They had almost covered half of the capital. However, Wei Yus car kept chasing after his car. Along the way, it drove wildly as if it did not care about its life. Beike was scared. Because he was most afraid of encountering such people who didnt care about their lives. Let me tell you, dont provoke him again in the future. He doesnt want his life, but I want mine. Sooner or later, youll be played to death by him. Beike did not forget to complain as he pulled Pei Jiao away. Pei Jiao was so tired that she was out of breath. Im the dignified daughter of the Pei family. Why should I be afraid of him? Run slower. I cant breathe. Beike turned his head. Then should 1 give you to him now? That way, I wont have to escape. Pei Jiao almost fainted. How dare you! There were many people in the mall. Beike fled everywhere with Pei Jiao, and Wei Yus men chased after them. Such a scene had seriously affected the order of the mall, and security officers had already been mobilized. This would only benefit Wei Yu. To Pei Jiao and Beike, it was simply a blow to their heads. There were not many places to hide. A few minutes later, Pei Jiao and Beike hid in the trendy fitting room. After pulling the curtain closed, Pei Jiao broke free from Beikes hand and bent over, her palm on her thigh. l cant take it anymore. I really cant run anymore. I cant run anymore Beikes condition was not much better. He panted heavily. l say, why dont you call your father, your mother, your brother, and your sister-in-law for help? Its not safe to race on the road. He chased after us desperately. Now that hes entered the mall, who knew that so many people in the mall couldnt stop him? If this continues, youll return to Wei Yu sooner or later. Pei Jiao turned around to see if Wei Yus men were chasing after her. Now that she and Beike were in someones fitting room, they could probably hide for two minutes. It seems that Wei Yu is not planning to let me off today. Pei Jiao was a little dejected. Beike comforted her. Dont worry. Ill definitely bring you to avoid him. If it really doesnt work, Ill get someone to save you. You have connections, Pei Jiao said. But whether they give you face or not, its hard to say. Beike: Pei Jiao made a decision. Help me stall for a few minutes. Ill take advantage of these few minutes to call my brother. Beike pointed at himself. Ill delay him? Pei Jiao nodded. 1 1 believe you. Beike narrowed his eyes slightly. Then wouldnt I be caught in minutes if I went out? Are you sure your brothers men can rush over in these two minutes? Pei Jiao had already taken out her cell phone. How will you know if you dont try? The changing room was not big. It was just enough for one person to use their hands and feet, but with another person, Pei Jiao stretched out her hand and elbowed Beike in the stomach. Beike held his stomach. Uh Pei Jiao rolled her eyes at him. Dont moan like that. At this moment, the female salespersons voice came from outside. Please pay attention to the public place. Pei Jiao gritted her teeth and punched Beike. Shut up. Hiss! Beike covered his mouth. Pei Jiao: The female salespersons face darkened. Because the fitting room was covered by a curtain, the female salesperson did not lift it directly. Instead, she clenched her fists and knocked on the wall beside her. She warned, Please note that this is a public place. At this moment, the female salesperson had already treated Pei Jiao and Beike as a couple with hobbies. Such couples would specialize in public places and do incomprehensible and disgusting things. For example, in the fitting room. Seeing that the two people inside did not come out, the female salesperson simply lifted the curtain. However, as the curtain was lifted, it was not a chaotic scene. Instead, a man appeared in front of the female salesperson with a pout. The female salesperson was shocked. Ah Beike put a finger to the female salespersons mouth. Shh. The female salesperson: ? Beike pouted and leaned in front of the female salesperson. Come, let me whisper something to you. Three seconds later Screams rang out. The female salesperson held the clothes rack in one hand and grabbed Beikes arm with the other. Ill beat you to death, you stinky hooligan, stinky hooligan Wei Yus men arrived just in time to see Beike being dragged and beaten up by the female salesperson. Wei Yu narrowed his eyes and raised his hand slightly. The people behind him immediately rushed forward and restrained Beike from the female salesperson. This sudden stance was like a police arresting a criminal. The female salesperson was frightened and immediately leaned to the side. Wei Yu t s face was cold as he slowly walked up to Beike. Beike also slowly raised his head. Their eyes met. It was the first time the two of them had met face-to-face.. Chapter 695 - Chapter 695: Home (1) Chapter 695: Home (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This was the first time Wei Yu and Beike had faced each other head-on. Compared to Wei Yu e s cold face, Beike, who was being controlled, was much calmer. He even asked in an innocent tone, Are you police? Wei Yu looked down at Beike. No. Beike was held down by two people and could not move his shoulders, so he had no choice but to arch his back and be sized up by Wei Yu. To be honest, he was very unhappy with the way Wei Yu looked at him, but he endured it and still said in that ignorant and sloppy tone, Then why are you arresting me? Am I breaking the law? Wei Yu t s tone was cold as he asked directly, Where is she? Beike pretended to be very confused. Who? Wei Yu raised his eyes and looked at the female salesperson. Wheres the girl who entered your shop with him? The female salesperson was a little frightened by the scene. Shes, shes, in the fitting room inside. Wei Yu did not ask any more questions and went straight into the shop. The curtains in the three fitting rooms were all open. Pei Jiaos figure had long disappeared. Wei Yus face instantly darkened. She still escaped! She still ran away!! Seeing Wei Yu come out with a dark expression, the female salesperson stuttered and asked, Is, is, is she not inside? Wei Yu glanced at the female salesperson coldly. Did they go in together? The female salesperson nodded quickly. Yes, yes. Suddenly remembering something, the female salesperson quickly pointed at Beike, who was being held by the two of them. He went hand in hand with that girl. It was obvious that the two of them were a couple, and they even made that sound in the fitting room. When I heard that sound, I immediately went to remind them not to do that kind of thing in public. In the end, he started to tease me as soon as he came out. I didnt participate in anything, nor did it have anything to do with me The female salesperson was afraid that the imprisoned Beike had done something wrong. In order not to implicate her, she quickly explained the entire process. However, after she explained the truth, the cold-faced man suddenly raised his fist and punched the man who was being held. The process was so fast that the female salesperson did not see it clearly. And Beike fell to the ground. Fuck! Wei Yu took two steps forward and leaned over to strangle Beike. With a little force, he forced Beikes upper body up. The anger on Wei Yus face could scare people to death. He slowly exerted strength in his joints and warned word by word, Stay away from her. Beikes face turned red from the pinch and he struggled to say, She and I have the closest relationship in the world. Even though he was almost speechless, Beike did not forget to provoke Wei Yu. Wei Yu was furious and exerted more strength in his palm. Then an anxious voice behind him said: Young Master! Young Master, the mall manager is here. Not only did the managers of the mall come over, but there were also more and more passers-by watching. However, in the eyes of most people, this was a fight, and it was a fight with numbers. Because Beike, who looked weak on the ground, was very pitiful, his face was almost the color of pig liver. Wei Yu stopped rationally and stood up. Take him away. The other two subordinates immediately went forward and carried Beike away. Wei Yu looked around, hoping to see her in the crowd. If her friend fell into his hands, would she escape first, or would she hide in a secret corner and watch the scene just now? Ten minutes later, Pei Jiao returned to the Pei residence in Tanhua Prefecture, Han Qianye and Pei Qingji were not at home today. It was rare for Li Xiwu to have time to bring Youyou and Yaoyao back to her grandmothers house, while Pei Jingzhou was in the company. Only the servants and butler were walking in and out of the huge Pei residence. At first glance, Uncle Dong thought that he was in a daze when he saw Pei Jiao. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. Miss? Its me. Pei Jiao walked up to Uncle Dong. Im back.. Chapter 696 - Chapter 696: She Wants to Be Engaged Chapter 696: She Wants to Be Engaged Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After knowing that Pei Jiao had returned home, Pei Jingzhou returned from the company early. Stepping into the living room, Pei Jingzhou asked with a dark expression, Where is she? Uncle Dong walked forward and said, Miss is in her own bedroom. Pei Jingzhou went upstairs with a dark expression. When he reached Pei Jiaos bedroom door, he did not knock and shouted, Pei Jiao, come out! A few seconds later, the bedroom door opened a crack. Pei Jiao could feel her brothers anger through the door. But thinking about it, it made sense. She had disappeared for more than a month, and there had been no news of her during this period. She only asked Beike to help her tell her family that she was safe. Pei Jiao smiled ingratiatingly. Brother. Pei Jingzhou looked coldly at Pei Jiao, who was in the crack of the door frame. Come out. Pei Jiao really could not stand her brothers cold gaze. She obediently opened the door and stood very obediently. Brother, I have something to tell you Eh? Brother, where are you going? I havent said anything! Pei Jingzhou turned around. Lets talk downstairs. A few minutes later, Pei Jiao arrived downstairs. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou was sitting on the sofa and answering a phone call. Pei Jiao slowly approached and heard the conversation clearly No need. Ill come by at three. Depends on the situation. The person has yet to be interrogated When he said that the person had yet to be interrogated, Pei Jingzhou looked up at Pei Jiao. This glance made Pei Jiaos hair stand on end. Retracting his gaze, Pei Jingzhou said to Li Xiwu, Shes not missing an arm or a leg. She looks fine. Pei Jiao guessed that her sister-in-law was worried about her and was asking her brother about her situation on the phone. She quickly said, Brother, tell Sister-in-law that Im fine. Pei Jingzhou conveyed Pei Jiaos words. She said shes fine. When Li Xiwu heard this on the other end of the line, she was relieved. She gave a few more instructions before ending the call. Pei Jingzhou put down his phone. Seeing that Pei Jiao was about to sit down on the small sofa beside her, he said coldly, Did 1 tell you to sit? Pei Jiao immediately stood up and pretended to stretch her arms casually. l just lost my balance. Pei Jingzhou crossed his long legs and raised his chin slightly. He looked at Pei Jiao calmly. Why are you unsteady and injured? Pei Jiao immediately shook her head. Im not. The dignity on Pei Jingzhous face was unquestionable. Tell me the truth. Pei Jiao had been afraid of Pei Jingzhou since she was young. How could she dare to fool him? Moreover, nothing could escape Pei Jingzhous eyes. She turned in a slow circle, then said, Im really not hurt. Look. Pei Jingzhous expression was unreadable. He stared at Pei Jiao for a few seconds. She did not look injured. When did you get back? he asked casually, reaching to the side and tapping his fingertips. Pei Jiao understood what he meant and immediately walked over to sit beside Pei Jingzhou. She was very well-behaved. Of course, she did not dare to be rash in front of Pei Jingzhou. Last night. Pei Jingzhou asked, Where did you rest? Pei Jiao said, l came back in the middle of last night and slept in the car for a while. Then I went to the hotel. She honestly told him everything about her schedule. Youre back. Instead of going home first, you went to stay in a hotel? Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. With whom? Pei Jiaos eyes darted around. That friend of mine. Her brother knew about that friend of hers. Therefore, Pei Jingzhou did not suspect anything. Pei Jiao also clearly felt that after she explained this, the surrounding magnetic field was no longer as oppressive as before. Tell me in detail what happened in the past month. Pei Jingzhou asked Pei Jiao to explain herself. Pei Jiao went home at this time and was prepared to tell the truth. Therefore, she confessed what had happened in the past month. She did not leave anything out. Nearly ten minutes passed. Pei Jingzhous expression went from dark to gentle, to furious, and finally to calm down. However, his expression did not look too good. So that Wei guy is looking for you all over the city? Pei Jingzhou stood up and looked at Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao also stood up. He knows that 1 lied to him and wants to find me to vent his anger. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Hes looking for you to vent his anger. Him? Pei Jiao saw a murderous look in her brothers eyes. This was why she dared to get into trouble. Ever since she was young, no matter how much trouble she caused, it was either her brother or her father who stood up for her. She had never suffered. So how could she take this lying down about Wei Yu? She had to take revenge on him. However, getting her revenge was originally something to be happy about, but she had accidentally implicated Beike. Now, she had to save Beike. Pei Jiao had already thought of a way. She said, Brother, I want to be engaged! Pei Jingzhou narrowed his eyes. Engaged? To whom? Pei Jiao said without thinking, Anybody is fine, but it must be a fake engagement. As for who came to follow me through the process, Brother, help me arrange it. The sooner, the better. Also. Pei Jiao forgot to get to the point. The engagement ceremony has to be grand and we have to invite the Wei family! If they were really engaged, Pei Jingzhou naturally would not allow his sisters engagement to be settled so quickly. But if it was a fake engagement, it would be easier. Pei Jingzhou already had a candidate in mind.. Chapter 697 - Chapter 697: It’s a Ruthless Person Chapter 697: Its a Ruthless Person Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Pei Jiao returned to her room, she realized that there were more than ten missed calls on her phone. They were all from Beike, She looked at the dozen missed calls and fell into deep thought. Beike had been taken away by Wei Yu. Unless he found a way to escape successfully, or else these missed calls were all from Wei Yu using Beikes cell phone. Obviously, the latter was the most likely. Just as Pei Jiao was about to call back, this call came again. Pei Jiaos fingertips trembled, and she took a few deep breaths before answering. You finally picked up. Wei Yus cold voice came from the phone. Pei Jiao heard Wei Yus voice again and couldnt tell what she was feeling. She walked to the window and waved her hand to open the curtains. When she spoke, she said in a tired tone, What did you do to him? Wei Yu suppressed the anger in his chest. Arent you going to ask me first? Im the one calling you now! Pei Jiao said, Ask you what? Im not familiar with you. As soon as she finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the line for a long time. Even without saying a word, Pei Jiao could feel the peak of Wei Yus anger. Unsurprisingly, he must have hated her to death. Why did you grab my friend? Let him go. She broke the silence first, her tone perfectly calm. Wei Yus out-of-control voice came. Are you ordering me? Or discussing it with me? Pei Jiao gritted her teeth. Why did you arrest him? He didnt provoke you. Wei Yu snorted. Are you that heartless? Pei Jiao did not care about his anger. Let my friend go. Fei Yi! His voice was almost hysterical. Pei Jiao found it ear-piercing, so she moved the cell phone away a little. His anger was overwhelming. She didnt even doubt that if he really lost control in front of her at this moment, he would strangle her. Pei Jiao calmed herself down before putting the phone back to her ear and asking inexplicably, Are you angry? On the other end of the line, Wei Yu was stunned. She couldnt see the sudden excitement in his expression as he asked her urgently, Are you concerned about me? Pei Jiao: Wei Yu asked again, You still care about me, right? Pei Jiao was angry and tried to be calm. After all, weve slept on a bed under a blanket. Isnt it normal to care?! Even if Pei Jiao did not want to admit it, the fact that she and Wei Yu had been in a relationship could not be erased. Even though she had a goal in this relationship. At this moment, Pei Jiao was open-minded. The fact that she dared to say this openly meant that she did not care. However, Wei Yus next sentence made her feel awkward and furious Did it still hurt last night? Wei Yu suddenly asked her. Pei Jiao was stunned at first, but she quickly realized what he was asking. Her face suddenly turned hot and red. Shut up! Wei Yu sounded worried. Last night, l Pei Jiao gritted her teeth and warned him, This matter is in the past. Dont mention it again! Past? Wei Yu sounded incredulous. Are you planning to draw a line with me from now on? Pei Jiao frowned. Isnt it obvious! After a pause, Pei Jiaos tone quickly became relaxed. Were all adults. You can afford to play, right? Wei Yus suppressed anger was instantly provoked by Pei Jiaos words. Ive never just wanted to play with you. l Pei Jiao asked, You what? Wei Yu had never been so determined. l want to be responsible for you. Huh? Pei Jiao smiled. You want to be responsible for me? Wei Yu said, Or you can be responsible for me. Pei Jiao: She took down her cell phone and said loudly to the screen, l dont need you to be responsible, and I wont be responsible for you. With your lousy primary school skills, youre the worst in my career. Im too embarrassed to criticize you! As Pei Jiao finished speaking, there was dead silence on the other end of the line. After Pei Jiao finished cursing, she was in a very good mood. Although she didnt mean what she said and was almost tortured to death, she wanted to scold him. He was simply inhumane! She hung up after cursing. Then, she quickly turned on her computer and searched for Beikes current location. In less than a minute, she found out where Beike was now. It was actually the hotel Beike had booked for her! Meanwhile, at the hotel. Wei Yu looked at the phone that had stopped beeping and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. If not for the fact that he had to rely on this cell phone to contact her, he would have smashed the phone. Beike, who was tied up in the bathroom, had been quietly eavesdropping on the commotion outside the door. At this moment, the bathroom door was suddenly kicked open, scaring Beike. He raised his face in horror and looked at Wei Yu, who was standing at the door. His mouth moved. Um um? Thats right, Beikes mouth was glued shut! In addition to his mouth, his body was also trussed up. He sat on the ground and moved like a cicada pupa. Wei Yu stood outside the door, his cold gaze landing on Beike. After a moment, he squatted down and reached out to tear the glue off Beikes mouth. Beike tilted his head. Wei Yus hand paused in midair. A cold expression appeared on his face and he said bluntly, If you dont want to suffer. Beike immediately became obedient. Wei Yu tore off the glue from Beikes mouth. Beike opened his mouth to shout, but Wei Yu said, Go ahead and shout. Lets see if anyone will save you. Beike swallowed. Cough, cough, cough! Im just clearing my throat. Wei Yu squatted with his knees bent and the arm holding the tape casually rested on his knee. What exactly is your relationship with her? Answer properly. Otherwise, 1 cant guarantee that I wont seriously injure you and kindly send you to treatment. Damn! Beike widened his eyes and glared at Wei Yu. Are you threatening me? Wei Yu smirked. Which words can you tell that Im threatening you? Beike was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. Wei, dont be too arrogant. Wei Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. Thats right. You even know that my surname is Wei. It seems that her appearance at the base was really not a coincidence. It was planned long ago. For what? That confidential document? Beike looked away, not taking Wei Yu seriously at all. l dont know what youre talking about. You know, you know! Wei Yu enunciated every word. You know what every word I say now means. Youve appeared by her side repeatedly and know her like the back of your hand. You two seem to be close now. How long have you known each other? Whats your background? With every word that Wei Yu said, Beike could sense the growing jealousy. Beike asked with a smile, How long have we known each other? Why should 1 tell you? Wei Yu t s face was cold. Im her boyfriend. Beike snorted. Boyfriend, then does she acknowledge you? In my opinion, its as if you like her unilaterally and wont let go. You still have the cheek to call yourself her boyfriend. Are you shameless! Wei Yu: His anger had reached a critical point with a few words from Beike. Beike clearly had the illusion that he was in danger He cursed himself for talking nonsense at this time. This Wei guy was obviously a ruthless person. If he went crazy, he would probably be skinned alive. Beike restrained his arrogance and smiled ingratiatingly. Bro, calm down. Dont you just want to see her? Ill help you, but can you untie the rope on my body first? The anger on Wei Yus face did not subside. Buzz buzz buzz- There was a cell phone vibrating outside. Wei Yu reached out and stuck the glue back on Beikes face. Think carefully about how to explain yourself. With that, Wei Yu got up and went out to answer the call.. Chapter 698 - Chapter 698: It’s Good That You’re Here (1) Chapter 698: Its Good That Youre Here (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was Matriarch Wei. Wei Yu had just picked up the phone when Matriarch Weis anxious voice came from the receiver. Where are you? Wei Yu said, Grandma, Im in the capital. You really went to the capital. Matriarch Wei seemed to have expected Wei Yu to follow her to the capital, but she was very worried about the current situation. She asked, How did you make her angry? Otherwise, why would she leave overnight! Wei Yu didnt want Grandma to worry too much. She bickered a little. Dont worry, Grandma. Ill coax her. When Matriarch Wei heard Wei Yus words, she was relieved. Its normal for young couples to bicker occasionally. Fei Yi likes you so much. Dont let her be disappointed. And she Wei Yu replied, l know everything. The l know everything he said at this moment was to reassure Matriarch Wei. He said it in a guaranteed tone to show that he knew how to coax her. However, to Matriarch Wei, she thought that Wei Yu already knew Pei Jiaos identity. Then she didnt have to say anything else. Thats good. Matriarch Wei felt much better. Before hanging up, she did not forget to remind him, Dont always wait for her to give in just because she likes you. Remember, youre there to coax her. Matriarch Wei knew Wei Yus personality very well. He had been outstanding since he was young, so his personality had always been very arrogant. He was always very domineering and never admitted defeat easily. It was precisely because of Wei Yus personality that Matriarch Wei was worried that even if Wei Yu went to coax Pei Jiao, he would not be able to let go of his pride. When the time came, she would not be coaxed back and their relationship would become even worse. To be honest, before she came into contact with Pei Jiao, Matriarch Wei thought that it was fine if the engagement was broken off. At most, the Wei family would suffer some pressure from the Pei family. However, after interacting with Pei Jiao, Matriarch Wei felt that it would be a pity if Wei Yu really missed Pei Jiao. The next morning, Pei Jiao was about to sneak out the door when she heard Youyou say loudly Grandma! Auntie is going out! Youyou, who had woken up early in the morning, had just come from the cafeteria when she met Auntie, who was about to sneak out of the door. She remembered Grandmas instructions to keep an eye on Auntie, so she shouted without hesitation. Pei Jiao walked over and covered Youyous mouth. Shh! Youyou pried Pei Jiaos hand away. Grandma Where are you planning to slip off again? Han Qianye walked over with her hands on her hips. Pei Jiao quickly let go of Youyou and said guiltily, Im going out for a walk. Han Qianye narrowed her eyes. You have to stay at home today. Youre not allowed to go anywhere. Youyou only knew to keep an eye on Auntie and not let her go out, but for some reason, she did not let Auntie go out. She asked curiously, Why dont you let Auntie go out? Han Qianye said, Shes going out to do bad things. Pei Jiao: Now, apart from Pei Youan, everyone in the Pei family knew that Pei Jiao had disappeared for more than a month and had tried her best to tease Wei Yu. The Pei family naturally did not take the Wei family seriously. However, what Han Qianye and Pei Qingji were angry about was that Pei Jiao had taken such a huge risk and stayed by Wei Yu l s side for more than a month. In the end, she was afraid that Pei Jiao would almost die in a car accident that Therefore, Han Qianye specially used this matter to knock on Pei Jiaos head. Do you think you have a few lives? Nothing happened to you in the mountains that night. Its all because our Pei familys incense burned well. Pei Jiao naturally did not dare to refute. Yes, yes, yes. Mom, youre right. Han Qianye waved her hand and pointed at the stairs. Go back upstairs. Pei Jiao opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she swallowed her words and silently turned to go back upstairs. Pei Jiao stayed at home obediently all morning. She did not receive any more calls from Wei Yu during this period. There was no movement on the cell phone at all. However, she really couldnt sit still and took the initiative to call Pei Jingzhou. It rang for a long time before he picked up. Pei Jiao sighed. Brother, how are your arrangements? Pei Jingzhous cold voice came from the phone. You went out? How would I dare to go out! Pei Jiaos sigh did not stop. Mom restricted me from going out. I stayed at home obediently. Pei Jingzhou said, Then stay at home obediently. Pei Jiao: She thought that she would feel more at ease after calling her brother, but after the call ended, she became even more anxious.. Chapter 699 - Chapter 699: It’s Good That You Are Here (2) Chapter 699: Its Good That You Are Here (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations What she was worried about really came true. Less than two minutes after she hung up, her cell phone rang. It was a short message. Pei Jiao opened it nervously. It was a message and a picture from Beike. In the picture, Beike was half-lying on the ground with his arms and legs tied. His eyes were wide open. And the message below was: Come and see me. It was a few short words, with an address attached. Pei Jiaos eyes darkened and she almost fainted. She finally understood why Wei Yu had not taken the initiative to contact her all morning. Her brother must have taken action. Wei Yu had moved from the hotel to his property in the capital. Beike was also brought over by him. Ding! Another text came in. Wei Yu: I wont hurt your friend, but I wont let him go if you dont come. After reading the message from Wei Yu, Pei Jiao instantly had the urge to call the police after a vicious cycle. But shed obviously thought it all too easy. Although her brother had already made a move, Beike had always been at Wei Yus place. Last nights dreams were all about Beike being killed. She broke out in a cold sweat. No one knew what this lunatic Wei Yu would do on impulse. If he hurt Beike, she would never be able to make up for it. One man takes responsibility for his own actions. After weighing the pros and cons, Pei Jiao still found a way to slip out of the door. Half an hour later, Pei Jiao arrived at the address Wei Yu had sent her. The famous wealthy district in the capital was in the opposite direction from the Wei family. Pei Jiao lowered the car window and placed her hand on the window sill. She looked up at the tall building that occupied a wide area but only had three buildings. Its really suitable to hide a woman in a golden house. Pei Jiao said casually, then took out her phone and called Beike. She knew that Wei Yu had Beikes phone, so she called him directly. It rang for less than two or three seconds before it was hurriedly picked up. Pei Jiao said, Im here. Wei Yus voice was steady on the phone. 1 1 know youre here, Pei Jiao: In the distance, the door of the district was slowly opening. Then, Pei Jiao saw Wei Yu walk out. His figure was tall and straight, like a pine tree, but his face was extremely cold, like a demon from hell. Pei Jiao took one look before looking away and locking the car door. Wei Yu walked to the car window and looked at her through the lowered half of the window. Theres someone nearby. I received a call just as you arrived. That was his explanation. He looked much calmer than yesterday. On the other hand, Pei Jiao was not as calm as him. She tried to calm down. l want to talk to you properly. Wei Yu was easy to talk to. Sure. Pei Jiao also said, l came with sincerity. Wei Yu looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. know. Get out of the car first. Initially, Pei Jiao was worried that Wei Yu would open her car door as soon as he came over, so she locked it in time. Seeing that he was so polite, she had nothing to say and pushed open the car door to get out. The next second, Wei Yus broad figure magnified infinitely in front of her. He wrapped his arms around her. There was no tug or out-of-control emotion. He walked calmly to her and reached out to pull her into his arms. Pei Jiao was stunned. Can we talk first? Wei Yus voice was deep. Just a hug. Pei Jiao wanted to push him away forcefully, but she suddenly put her hand down. Forget it, it wouldnt hurt to let him hug her. Only when he was in a normal mood could the two of them talk calmly. The short hug did not satisfy Wei Yu. Even so, Wei Yu tried his best to restrain himself from doing anything that she hated. After releasing her, he took her hand and laced his fingers together. Pei Jiao did not like this closeness and tried to break free. Wei Yu said in a low voice, Im afraid youll leave again. Pei Jiao sighed and said helplessly, 1 1 m here to talk to you. Were not done yet. Why would I leave? Wei Yus tense jaw finally relaxed a little. But he kept his grip on her hand. On the way in with her, he would specifically tell her, l bought this property myself before I left the country. Ive been renovating it while I was abroad. Ive lived here a few times since 1 returned. Pei Jiao pursed her lips. Oh. Wei Yu said, The decor is very simple, but it can be changed. Or if you dont like the floor, you can choose again. Ill order it. Pei Jiao: Wei Yu said, If you dont like flats and like villas, I can get someone to look at the houses immediately. Theyll be renovated according to your aesthetic taste and No. The more Pei Jiao listened, the more confused she became. She had to interrupt Wei Yu. What do you mean by telling me this? By then she had stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at him in confusion. Although they were here to talk, she had angered him with her words yesterday. Did he not have any grudges? Before Wei Yu could answer, the property manager who passed by bowed enthusiastically and greeted him. Mr. Wei, are you going out today? Wei Yus face was cold and he did not answer. The property manager had good eyesight. When he saw the girl beside Wei Yu, he immediately asked, Is Mr. Wei going out with his girlfriend today? As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yus cold face softened visibly. He held Pei Jiaos hand tightly and replied, We just came back. The property manager smiled brightly and immediately greeted Pei Jiao. Then, he praised sincerely, Mr. Wei, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Pei Jiao was a little embarrassed by the enthusiastic praise from the property manager. Wei Yu raised his lips and said, Shes the most beautiful girl Ive ever seen. Pei Jiao turned to look at him. Unknowingly, her heart skipped a beat. She secretly pinched the soft flesh in her palm and reminded herself why she was here today. That property managers words were too annoying. She took Wei Yus hand. Lets go. Wei Yu was almost dragged away by Pei Jiao. The property manager, who was standing where he was, waved enthusiastically. Mr. Wei, fresh vegetables and seafood will be delivered later. Wei Yu remembered that Pei Jiao would silently pick up crayfish to eat at the dining table and said to the property manager, Send another five pounds of crayfish over. The property manager said, Okay, Mr. Wei. The crayfish you want will definitely be delivered. Pei Jiao asked as she walked, Why did you buy so many crayfish? At this moment, the smile on Yu t s lips did not disappear. Dont you like to eat it? Pei Jiao was stunned. When did he see that she liked crayfish? l have no intention of staying to eat with you, she replied coldly. Wei Yu said, What if I keep your friend for dinner? Pei Jiao stopped in her tracks and turned to glare at Wei Yu fiercely. Youre threatening me again! Wei Yu looked at her steadily. l just want you to stay. We have no possibility! The words were in Pei Jiaos throat and would come out in the next second. However, she was afraid that saying this would anger Wei Yu and affect their subsequent conversation, so she swallowed her words. Take me to my friend first. Wei Yu smirked. Were all your friends. Ive never seen you ask me if Im Pei Jiao asked coldly, Then how are you? Wei Yu paused for a moment. The next second, the smile returned to the corners of his eyes. The smile he grinned was extremely unlike his usual appearance. It was very bright. Its good that youre here.. Chapter 700 - Chapter 700: Her Decision Chapter 700: Her Decision Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations I want to see my friend. Faced with Wei Yus straightforward inner thoughts, Pei Jiao interrupted him. Wei Yu could not do anything to her and was afraid that she would be anxious, so he could only hold her hand and enter the first building. They took the elevator upstairs. Pei Jiao finally met Beike. At that moment, he was no longer trussed up. Wei Yu probably knew that she was here and was afraid that she would be angry, so he untied Beike. However, Wei Yu did not seem to have informed Beike in advance that she was coming over. The moment the door opened, the chair in Beikes hand almost hit her head. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he saw that it was her. The chair in his hand tilted and smashed to the side. But it still frightened Pei Jiao. Out of instinct, she shrank back. She happened to retreat into Wei Yus arms, and he used both hands to protect her. At this level, even if the chair in Beikes hand really smashed down, Pei Jiao might not be injured at all. Its you! Beike threw the chair in his hand and reached out to pull Pei Jiao over from Wei Yus arms. Pei Jiaos head was pulled back. The next second, Wei Yu grabbed her other hand to prevent her from being pulled over by Beike. Both of them exerted their strength almost at the same time. Pei Jiao opened her mouth. Hey! The moment the scream sounded, the two of them let go almost at the same time. Pei Jiao felt the soreness of her hands being pulled at the same time and grimaced. The two of you can really take my life. Wei Yu: Are you okay? Beike also stepped forward. Are you alright? They spoke in unison. Afraid that they would pull her again, Pei Jiao took a step to the side. Wei Yu took care of Pei Jiao and did not go forward. Beike reacted much faster. Taking advantage of Wei Yus relaxed guard, he pulled Pei Jiao in front of him and pinched her neck, but he did not use any strength. Just like that, Pei Jiao was held hostage by Beike with a dumbfounded expression. Beike said to Wei Yu in a fierce tone, Let me go, or Ill strangle her to death for you to see. Pei Jiao: Wei Yu only frowned and watched this scene quietly. He did not go forward to stop or get angry. Beike secretly exerted strength in his arms, making the veins on the back of his hands look like they were bulging. Wei Yus calm attitude definitely meant that he felt that he would not really attack. Hello, Beike? Pei Jiao raised her hand and gently patted the back of Beikes hand. Bei Ke had a fierce expression. Dont try to worm your way into being friends with me. Its all because of you that I was arrested and locked up here. Now that youve fallen into my hands, be a good hostage! Pei Jiao: To be honest, in the past, Pei Jiao only felt that Beike was crazy. Now, she felt that Beike was not just careless. He was just innocent and stupid. Hello, Beike? Pei Jiao called out to him. Beike lowered his voice. Shh, cooperate with me and pretend to be very afraid. Ill take you running with me when the time is right. Pei Jiao rolled her eyes speechlessly. Do you think he captured me? Beike was stunned. Isnt that so? Pei Jiao said, l came here myself. Beike relaxed his grip. Then why didnt you say so earlier? Pei Jiao asked, Did you give me a chance to say that? You reached out and strangled me. Beike: Wei Yu, who did not disturb the two of them from the beginning to the end, asked softly, Have you guys finished chatting? Pei Jiao pried Beikes hand away and walked over. Let him go first. Ill stay. Wei Yus lips curled up as he turned to look at Beike. You can leave now. Before Pei Jiao came, Beike wanted to leave every second. Other than kicking him in the mall, Wei Yu had not attacked him again. However, Wei Yu had tied him up for the entire night. It was too humiliating for Beike. Now that Pei Jiao was here, Beike did not want to leave so much. Im already here, so Im going to have a meal before leaving. Beike clearly had no intention of leaving. Wei Yu did not look happy. Just like what you scolded last night, Im petty and have no food for you. Beike looked at Pei Jiao. Youre such a generous person, but you actually talked to such a petty dog. Its embarrassing. Pei Jiao suppressed a smile. You know how to fan the flames. As expected, as soon as Beike said that, Wei Yus expression turned ugly. In the end, Wei Yu even convinced himself to tolerate Beikes existence. Who asked him to be her friend? They reached the living room. Beike crossed his legs on the coffee table, his posture higher than Wei Yus. Wei Yu stood opposite him, his expression dark and ugly. Pei Jiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and took a call from Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou was furious on the phone. Didnt I tell you to stay at home? Pei Jiao was not confident. Ill be back soon. Pei Jingzhou said, Pei Jiao! Although Pei Jingzhou had always called Pei Jiao by her full name, this often made Pei Jiao even more afraid. She explained, l know you have plans, but I dont want my friend to be in constant danger. Dont worry. Ill be back tonight. Pei Jingzhou said nothing. Pei Jiao could clearly feel her brothers anger through the phone. In her brothers eyes, she was too disobedient! l promise Pei Jiaos tone softened. Really, I promise. At this moment, Wei Yu walked to Pei Jiaos side. Pei Jiao sensed it and turned her body to prevent Wei Yu from hearing anything. Just this once. Ill hang up first. With that, she hung up, not caring how angry her brother was. She turned and met Wei Yus probing gaze. Why are you still eavesdropping on my call? Wei Yus gaze lowered and stopped on the phone in her hand. l want to know who youre calling. My friend. Casually perfunctory, she walked toward Beike. Wei Yu couldnt see through her. Learning from the lessons of the past two days, he didnt try to probe into her private matters again. Pei Jiao walked over and saw that Beike was sitting like a second master. She said in a negotiating tone, Why dont you leave? Beike: l wont leave. Wei Yu stood behind Pei Jiao, his expression not too good when he heard Beike say that she was not leaving. l have another way to invite you away. He said invite. However, Beike and Pei Jiao knew very well what kind of invite it was. Beike looked at Pei Jiao deeply. Are you sure you want me to leave? Pei Jiao had a plan. Yes, leave first. Dont worry, nothing will happen to me. Behind her, Wei Yu glanced at Pei Jiao silently. He felt that she should believe him. He was moved and took a step forward unknowingly. Beike took in Wei Yus reaction just now and couldnt help but sneer. You look worthless. Im leaving. Beike understood Pei Jiao. Since Pei Jiao had repeatedly asked him to leave first, she must have her own plans. Beike did not intend to ask what she wanted to do. Wei Yu sent Beike out the door. As he closed the door, Beike pressed his foot against the crack and warned Wei Yu, Dont bully her! Wei Yu did not even look at Beike. He kicked his foot out and closed the door. Beike: He was as arrogant as ever Pei Jiao and Wei Yu were the only ones in the huge room. Pei Jiao sat down generously, looking ready to talk business. Sit down first. I have a few things to tell you. Wei Yu sat down beside Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao looked sideways at him. She realized that Wei Yu was looking at her with such passion. Pei Jiao avoided his gaze. His overly hot gaze left her at a loss. She couldnt look straight at him and could only avoid it. Before she could speak, Wei Yu couldnt help but touch her. He grabbed her wrist first and then approached her bit by bit. Every inch of distance was just right, making it difficult for Pei Jiao to push him away or retreat. She thought she should be repulsed. However, there was no rejection in her heart at all. She seemed a little too strange. She shouldnt have reacted like this. Wei Yu gently held her and rested his chin on her shoulder. Go on. Im listening. Pei Jiao: She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were clear. Get up first. Sit still so I can talk to you properly. Wei Yu hugged her with extreme dependence. l want to do this. You can accommodate me. Pei Jiaos temples throbbed. She endured it. l want to talk about my true identity. Whats your real identity? he asked, following her lead. His tone was low and filled with unclear emotion. Pei Jiao was not in the mood to guess his emotions. She told him calmly, Im from a mysterious guild in Xingzhou. Wei Yu asked, What guild? Its not convenient for me to say more, Pei Jiao said seriously. But I can tell you that my goal in approaching you was to get that secret document. Shed never heard of any bullshit document, but just to fool him, shed make it up. Hed believe it anyway. She raised her elbow and pushed him away a little. She faced him squarely. So weve been on opposite sides from the beginning. Wei Yu pulled her back into his arms again. l dont mind or care. Now that the document has been recovered, no one has made a mistake. Thats not an obstacle. Pei Jiaos head hurt. You dont care just because you like me? Wei Yu t s tone was firm. l dont care. Then Pei Jiao looked into Wei Yus eyes and said to him seriously, Ill give you an address in three days. Come and see me. Ill tell you my decision that clay.. Chapter 701 - Chapter 701: Resentful Wei Yu Chapter 701: Resentful Wei Yu Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Another three days? Obviously, Wei Yu minded these three days very much. He didnt want to be separated from her, so he negotiated. Is one day okay? Pei Jiao looked at his serious expression and could not help but laugh. This person did not seem to know the seriousness of the matter. No. She didnt hesitate to refuse his consultation, then pulled out of his arms. He wouldnt let her. He pressed her shoulder. l dont want to be apart from you for too long. Its insecure. Pei Jiao thought she had heard wrongly and turned to look at Wei Yu. What did you say? Wei Yu didnt look like he was joking at all. Insecure. Pei Jiao chuckled, but Wei Yus expression darkened. Am I that funny to you? Yes Pei Jiao changed the topic. Of course, thats not what I mean. I just think.. She leaned closer to him and looked at him steadily. Its strange. Youre clearly such a calm and composed person, but you actually said to me that you dont feel safe. Have you forgotten? At first, you disdained me. Even my life and death were insignificant. Perhaps they werent even trivial. You only saved my life that night out of morality. Pei Jiao had only mentioned this casually. However, to Wei Yu, he felt that Pei Jiao must be digging up old scores, and this old score was what he wanted to make up for the most. Im sorry. We met for the first time that night. If Id known Id like you so much later No ifs. He was anxious to explain, but Pei Jiao raised her hand to his lips. Alright, I was just saying it casually. I dont have any intention of making a fuss. Wei Yu said, But l Without giving him a chance to speak, Pei Jiao suddenly removed her hand, leaned forward, and gently kissed his lips. Wei Yu was stunned for two seconds before he quickly turned the tables and moved his hand to the back of her neck to deepen the kiss. Pei Jiao could clearly feel that he was very happy, especially when she took the initiative to kiss him. She was doing this to distract him. Actually, she had other ways to divert his attention. For some reason, her mind went blank and she chose to shut him up. Now, Wei Yu had turned the tables on her. Worried that things would really get out of hand, Pei Jiao used all her strength to separate for a moment. Wei Yu, listen to me. Listen to me first The way Wei Yu looked at her was almost lascivious. What are you going to say? Pei Jiaos heart was beating like a drum and her entire body was tense. She calmed her breathing and said slowly, No you cant. Wei Yu swallowed. l know. He had no intention of doing anything to her, but when she took the initiative, he couldnt control himself. He couldnt help it. She was too tempting for him. Even he couldnt understand why she had such magic in her. Even a casual teasing could make him drunk on her and head over heels for her. This feeling that even he couldnt control didnt make him feel chagrined. Instead, he enjoyed it because she was the first and only person to make him feel so much emotion. Wei Yu. Pei Jiao called his name softly. Wei Yu restrained himself and forced himself to calm down. You want to tease me again? Pei Jiaos face was filled with tenderness. No, I wanted to say that I should go. Wei Yu was mesmerized by her every frown and smile, but when he heard that she was leaving now, he calmed down a little. l want you to stay here with me tonight. This is my property. No one will disturb us. Pei Jiao immediately refused. No, I cant stay here. Wei Yu begged her. Tonight. As for the three days you said, I can promise you that Ill find you at the address you gave me. Pei Jiao knew that he was negotiating. But it was clearly impossible for her to stay here tonight. She pushed him away and stood up, straightening her clothes. 1 have to go now. I wont stay tonight. Ill send you the address. If you dont come, forget it. This is all weve got. Wei Yu looked up at Pei Jiao and smiled bitterly. Youre so distant from me that Im scratching my heart and lungs, including when you came to see me today. You gave me hope and made me feel uncomfortable. Pei Jiao looked at him playfully. Wei Yu, are you a resentful woman? Wei Yu didnt care about the title. Maybe. A resentful woman was full of resentment because she could not get her husbands care. For example, no matter how low Wei Yu lowered himself, Pei Jiao refused to believe him wholeheartedly. Therefore, he was filled with resentment, making him look like a resentful woman. Im leaving. Pei Jiao turned around and left. Wei Yu did not stop her anymore. When she was about to reach the entrance, he mustered his courage and asked, Back then, you said that you wanted to return to the Wei family with me. Can I take that seriously? Pei Jiaos hand was on the doorknob. She turned around. Youll know in three days. Wei Yu stood up. Seeing her turn to leave, he became disappointed and frustrated. After a while, his cell phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was Ji He. He picked it up casually. Ji He said, Young Master, Miss Fei Yi has left. Do you want to follow her? Wei Yu walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the car on the ground. Theres no need to follow. Shell be unhappy if she finds out. Ji He: Didnt Young Master say that you wanted to find out where Miss Fei Yi lives? Ji He said. Wei Yu said the same thing. So what if I find out? Shell be unhappy. Ji He was anxious. Young Master, have you forgotten how she tricked you? Shes a liar. She lied to you about your feelings and your body. Young Master had been single for 25 years. Other than his schoolmates, female colleagues from the base, and the Wei family, there was no other opposite sex around him. This time, he had fallen for Miss Fei Yi. He had really fallen a little hard. Wei Yus car had already driven away. He retracted his gaze and held his cell phone with another hand. He warned Ji He in a low voice, Do what you have to do and dont ask about my private matters. Ji He was speechless. However, he was complaining in his heart: Young Master is too unprincipled! After causing trouble for so long, his anger has yet to subside. He forgot everything when he saw her. Why would he be afraid that she would be unhappy? Love was too scary. It was like a horror movie. Pei Jiao was very careful on the way home. She was worried that Wei Yu would send a car to follow her. She kept circling around and only dared to drive home after confirming that no car was following her. She knew that she would be criticized when she returned from this trip without permission. She also knew that she had to tuck her tail between her legs later. As soon as she went in, she heard someone call her: Jiaojiao. Pei Jiao frowned slightly. This was not her brothers voice, nor was it her fathers. It was a little unfamiliar, but also a little familiar She turned to look in the direction of the voice. Qin Zhuoning? Pei Jiao recognized the man walking towards her at a glance. Qin Zhuoning was a little surprised. Its been a long time. I thought youd forgotten about me.. Chapter 702 - Chapter 702: Learning That She Was Getting Engaged With Someone Else (1) Chapter 702: Learning That She Was Getting Engaged With Someone Else (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations If I hadnt seen you in person, I might not have remembered for a while, but as soon as I saw you, I knew you were Qin Zhuoning. As Pei Jiao spoke, she had already walked up to Qin Zhuoning. Especially last time. I heard my mother mention you by chance. At that time, I vaguely felt that it was familiar. Now that I see you, 1 know. Qin Zhuoning was amused by Pei Jiaos words. Its been a long time since we last met. Youre still so strange. Pei Jiao praised, Long time no see, Brother Zhuoning. Youre still so handsome! But no matter how handsome I am, I still cant enter Jiaojiaos eyes. Qin Zhuoning first sighed softly, then joked seriously, Ive grown such a face for nothing. Pei Jiao was cynical. Youre so good-looking, yet youre still lamenting. How is He Wang going to live if he hears you? Qin Zhuoning was slightly stunned. Soon, his deep eyes were filled with smiles. Jiaojiao, I really like what youre saying. Hey, Pei Jiao, why cant you change your bad habit of badmouthing others?! Not far away, He Wang leaned against the Roman pillar of the spiral staircase. He was only a few steps behind Qin Zhuoning. Seeing that Qin Zhuoning and Pei Jiao were chatting happily, he leaned against the pillar and watched the commotion. Hearing Pei Jiao suddenly mention him and say that he was not as handsome as Qin Zhuoning, He Wang was furious. He walked over with leisurely steps. Your Brother He is good-looking, suave, and infuriatingly handsome. How dare you say that Im inferior to him? As soon as he finished speaking, He Wang turned his face and looked at Qin Zhuoning provocatively. Pei Jiao crossed her arms. Youre so narcissistic. This is called confidence. He Wang took two steps forward and stood beside Pei Jiao. He raised his elbow and placed it on Pei Jiaos shoulder, his face full of arrogance. Pei Jiao smiled. Long time no see, Brother Wang. Why are you still so flashy? He Wang said angrily, Pei Jiao, you also know that we havent seen each other for so long. Cant you say something nicer? Also, you just said that Im not as good-looking as Old Qin. I havent fussed with you yet. Youre still calculative? Youre so petty. Pei Jiao poked his arm. He Wang leaned forward slightly and leaned closer to Pei Jiao. He said in a tone that was about to laugh, You still have the cheek to say that Im petty. What about you? Just because he rejected your engagement, you turned the world upside down? Pei Jiao snorted and shrugged. You dont know the whole story. Qin Zhuoning said on Pei Jiaos behalf, Jiaojiao has her reasons no matter what she does. Besides, Jiaojiao also said just now that neither you nor I know the whole story. He Wang chuckled. 1 didnt say that she was wrong. Look at how worried you are. Qin Zhuoning had always been on Pei Jiaos side. Whether she was right or wrong, he would subconsciously feel that Pei Jiao was in the right. As his good friend, how could He Wang not know his intentions? He knew it long ago. He Wang turned to Pei Jiao and said, Im worried about you. Youve gotten yourself into trouble for no reason. Theres no need for you to go all out to deal with such a person. Just say the word and Ill make him kneel in front of you. Qin Zhuoning teased, People who inherit the family assets are indeed different. They even speak tough. He Wang raised his eyebrows. Of course. Pei Jiao had naturally heard that He Wang had successfully fought for the family assets with the help of her brother. Although it was not to the extent of fighting among siblings, the He family was indeed a little scattered now. Old Master He was already dead. After He Wang took charge, he had been reorganizing the He family. He had been very busy recently and had taken the time to come today. Here, the call came again. The phone in He Wangs pocket buzzed. He frowned with a bad feeling. He took out his phone and saw that it was his subordinate. His expression darkened. He did not avoid Pei Jiao and Qin Zhuoning and picked up the call. Speak. The subordinate on the phone said, Master, Xiang Wanning ran away. He Wang was instantly furious. What did I tell you before I left? The subordinate on the other end of the line was trembling. Master, someone is picking her up. He Wangs brows gathered with hostility as he said coldly, Chop off the people guarding her. With that, He Wang hung up. Pei Jiao, who was standing beside He Wang, could clearly feel He Wangs anger.. She frowned and asked, What happened? Chapter 703 - Chapter 703: Learning That She Was Getting Engaged With Someone Else (2) Chapter 703: Learning That She Was Getting Engaged With Someone Else (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He Wang looked up. The coldness in his eyes faded and he returned to his sloppy appearance. He smiled and shook his head. Nothing. As he spoke, He Wang placed his hand on Pei Jiaos shoulder, unruly and gentle. Brother is now the head of the He family. Im afraid I wont be able to accompany you anymore. Ill leave first. Ill take you to the ranch another day. Although He Wang deliberately restrained his emotions, Pei Jiao did not really know nothing. She nodded. Its true that I havent been to the ranch in a long time. Remember to take me there sometime. He Wang retracted his hand and turned to give Qin Zhuoning a look before leaving. The two of them watched He Wang walk away. Pei Jiao flashed to Qin Zhuonings side and nudged his arm gossipily. Do you know whats going on? Qin Zhuoning retracted his gaze and looked sideways at Pei Jiao. Why are you so curious? Pei Jiao smiled. He took a call just now and his expression immediately changed. Moreover, 1 was very close to him and heard what the person on the phone said Xiang Wanning? This is clearly a womans name. For a woman to stir up such a big emotion in him, their relationship must not be simple. Shes either an enemy or a lover. Youre quite smart. Qin Zhuoning laughed. This analysis standard is very high. Pei Jiaos eyes lit up. The latter? In front of Pei Jiao, Qin Zhuoning had nothing to hide. He nodded slightly. Then Pei Jiaos face was full of gossip. Who is Xiang Wanning? Qin Zhuoning said, His stepmom. Pei Jiaos sparkling eyes widened, and her pupils trembled. T-t-t-this? But not anymore. Because Old He is already dead. Dead? Have you forgotten? Oh, oh, oh Pei Jiao belatedly raised her hand to scratch her ear. I knew, but the CPU exploded for a moment just now. I didnt react. That relationship stunned her. But on second thought, this seemed like something He Wang would do. After calming down a little, Qin Zhuoning threw her another thunderbolt. Its not unrequited. Pei Jiao said, He even tried to take it by force? Qin Zhuoning smiled without saying anything. Why are you telling her everything! Not far behind, Pei Jingzhou walked over. Pei Jiao turned around first and shouted, Brother, youre here. Qin Zhuoning also turned around and explained, She was curious, so I said a few more words. You shouldnt have told her even if shes curious. Pei Jingzhou handed the golden-pink invitation to Pei Jiao. Qin Zhuoning smiled helplessly. Pei Jiao took the golden-pink invitation Pei Jingzhou handed her. What is this? Pei Jingzhou said, Look for yourself. Pei Jiao took a closer look at the words on the cover of the Dost. A wedding invitation? She immediately opened the invitation. After reading it, Pei Jiao looked at Pei Jingzhou with wide eyes. Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled. You didnt understand? Pei Jiaos mouth moved, then she silently turned to look at Qin Zhuoning. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou added, If you dont understand, let Old Qin read it for you. Pei Jiao asked Qin Zhuoning, You know about me? Qin Zhuoning nodded. Yes. Pei Jiao lowered her eyes in frustration. Brother Zhuoning, Ive embarrassed myself in front of you. Qin Zhuoning shook his head. Youre being too polite. Pei Jiao was a little worried. The fake marriage is a farce. Wont this affect After what she had done, she asked her brother to help her resolve it. This time, even she felt that it was a little too much. It was all because she couldnt take it lying down. Qin Zhuoning saw Pei Jiaos worry. Of course I dont mind, but if you do How could I mind? Pei Jiao said to Qin Zhuoning. Im worried about how this will affect you. After all, its only a temporary measure. Qin Zhuoning smiled faintly. As you said, its just a temporary measure. It doesnt affect me at all. Im worried that youll mind that the person youre pretending to be engaged to is me. Pei Jiao shook her head. How could that be? Three days later was a time she had casually set for Wei Yu. The engagement date on the wedding invitation was set by Pei Jingzhou. Seven days later. This was too long. She couldnt drag it out. Wei Yu just didnt know her true identity at the moment, but that didnt mean he never knew. Matriarch Wei and Wen Qiong, either one would tell Wei Yu about it. so Pei Jiao looked at Pei Jingzhou. Brother, I want to bring forward the engagement date to three days later. Qin Zhuoning glanced sideways at Pei Jiao. Im fine with it. Pei Jingzhou frowned. If you want to bring it forward, and Old Qin wont have a problem. Then lets set it three days later. In these three days, the news that the Pei family was going to marry the Qin family quickly spread throughout the upper-class circle and the entire wealthy family. At the same time, Pei Jiao had not been idle for the past three days. She had kept in touch with Wei Yu every night to stabilize him. Wei Yu had no idea that she was getting engaged. It was not until the afternoon before the engagement that Wei Yu received the address Pei Jiao had given him. She added: If you come tomorrow, Ill let you know what I decide. After reading this message, Wei Yu was about to call back when Matriarch Wei called. Wei Yu frowned and pressed the phone to his ear. Grandma, whats the matter? Matriarch Weis tone was solemn. Pei Jiao is getting engaged to the eldest son of the Qin family. Wei Yu: Engaged? Matriarch Wei couldnt understand. Didnt Little Yu say that he could coax her? Why was she getting engaged to the Qin family in the blink of an eye?! Whats going on? Why is Pei Jiao getting engaged to the Qin family? Matriarch Wei asked anxiously. Wei Yus attitude was calm. What does her engagement have to do with me? Grandma, Ive already broken off the engagement with her. She has nothing to do with me now. When Matriarch Wei heard this, she was instantly exasperated. Then why did you promise me that you would bring Jiaojiao back? What do you mean by not caring? Could it be that Jiaojiao left that night because of you? Wei Yu was puzzled.. Grandma, what are you talking about? Chapter 704 - Chapter 704: Wei Yu, Are You Crying? (1) Chapter 704: Wei Yu, Are You Crying? (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations You, you. I dont think you dont know. Youre just pretending to be confused in front of me. Matriarch Wei finally understood. Ever since Pei Jiao left angrily that night, you didnt return to the Wei family because you didnt want to expose yourself in front of an old woman like me. Wei Yu frowned. He only knew a little about Matriarch Weis words. Matriarch Wei continued, Now that the news of Pei Jiaos engagement to the eldest son of the Qin family has spread throughout the various aristocratic families, even our Wei family has received the engagement invitation. It was our Wei family who let Pei Jiao down. This invitation is clearly ironic. Sigh, at this point, theres no point in saying anything else. Forget it. Matriarch Wei had nothing else to say. Now that the news of the marriage between the Pei family and the Qin family had spread throughout the various aristocratic families and invitations had been issued, could it change anything? In the end, Matriarch Wei hung up. Wei Yu held his cell phone in a daze for a long time. At this moment, his mind was filled with what Matriarch Wei had just said. He didnt seem to understand what was going on. But if he put everything togetherGrandma said that it was because he did not coax Pei Jiao well that Pei Jiao got engaged to the eldest son of the Qin family in a fit of anger? However, after canceling the betrothal with Pei Jiao that day, he had never contacted Pei Jiao again, and Pei Jiao had never looked for him. Then why did Grandma say that he wanted to coax Pei Jiao? She even said that he had promised to coax her? Unless Wei Yu gradually tightened his grip on the cell phone, the green veins on the back of his hand especially shocked. Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong! The doorbell rang urgently. Wei Yu closed his eyes tightly, the strength in his palm almost crushing the phone. He calmed down for a while and secretly told himself that it was not what he thought. Fei Yi had nothing to do with Pei Jiao! They were two completely different people, Wei Yu threw the phone on the sofa and went to open the door. Ji He stood outside the door. At this moment, his expression was solemn. He was still walking with a newspaper in his hand, but that newspaper looked like it was about to be crumpled by him. Ji He raised his trembling hand and handed the newspaper to Wei Yua Young Master, look at this. Wei Yu had a bad feeling, so he did not take it. He only asked coldly, What is this? Ji He said, Miss Fei Yi Oh no, Miss Pei is getting engaged to Qin Zhuoning! In an instant, the air seemed to be enveloped in a layer of coldness. On the way up, Ji He kept crossing himself in his heart. Now, looking at Young Masters expression, it seemed that he had drawn fewer crosses. Wei Yu slowly raised his hand. Under Ji Hes vision, Wei Yus fingertips were trembling visibly. He seemed to be trying his best to control and stabilize his emotions. After taking the nearly crumpled newspaper, his hands shook even more. Ji He cleverly reminded him, Young Master, why dont you stop looking? Lets snatch the marriage tomorrow! Snatch the marriage? Wei Yu gently raised his eyes to look at Ji He and threw a series of questions at him. Why snatch the marriage? Whose marriage? What does it have to do with me? Ji He scolded himself for being too quick-witted. Then Young Master, you should read the newspaper first. As Ji He said this, Wei Yu had already flipped open the newspaper. The creases blurred the words. He used his palm to smooth out the irksome creases bit by bit. The originally tiny words seemed to have been pressed on the A+ key and were slowly magnified in front of Wei Yu. The newspaper reported the news of the marriage between the Pei family and the Qin family. The Pei family was a top-notch wealthy family in the capital, and the Qin family was also famous in the capital. It was not surprising that the news of the marriage between the two families was in the newspapers. Now that the news had spread, the entire circle of aristocratic families had different opinions. Ji He specially reminded him, Young Master, theres also a photo below. Its a photo of Miss Pei and Young Master Qin. The two of them look very compatible. That last sentence was undoubtedly like a knife in Wei Yus heart. Wei Yu lowered his eyes and continued reading. A black-and-white photo appeared in front of him. When he saw Pei Jiaos face in the photo, Wei Yu quickly clenched the newspaper. Its her It was really her After going around in circles for so long, at first, he couldnt understand why she had toyed with his feelings. Why she had been good to him at first, but she had been distant from him. After leaving, she had come back to him again, but she had always shown hostility to him. All of this was like a joke becauseshe was Pei Jiao! Pei Jiao, whom he had annulled the betrothal. The relationship between the two of them was actually so deep Ji He carefully observed Wei Yus expression and said angrily, Young Master, I knew it. This Miss Pei has been up to no good since she appeared that night. She has been deliberately hurting you.. Chapter 705 - Chapter 705: Wei Yu, Are You Crying? (2) Chapter 705: Wei Yu, Are You Crying? (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Wei Yu did not say a word. Anger, powerlessness, mixed emotions This whole deception was even more unforgivable than the night shed fled from the base without warning. She was smiling so brightly in the newspaper photo. Her proper gown made her look like a noble white swan. It was her hand that was holding another mans. And this picture was takenyesterday. Yesterday. She was clearly coaxing him on the phone yesterday While she was coaxing him, she was attending the party with another man No wonder Miss Pei appeared at the foot of the mountain that night and was coincidentally picked up by Young Master. In the end, you even brought her back to the base. All of this was planned by her in advance, As for Young Master, every step you took was part of her plan. At this point, Ji He immediately revealed an understanding expression. Young Master, look how much she hates you. She would rather bet her life on it to take revenge on you. Wei Yu crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball and said coldly, Fei Yi, Pei Jiao, so she told me her surname early on Ji He had also thought of this when he came over with the newspaper. Wasnt the word Fei Yi t taken apart to read the surname Pei?! However, at first, no one would have thought that she was related to Pei Jiao. Seeing that Wei Yu was about to leave, Ji He boldly went forward and stopped him. Young Master, Miss Pei and Young Master Qins engagement is tomorrow. Im afraid you wont be able to see Miss Pei now. Wei Yu ignored Ji He and pushed him away. Young Master! Ji He shouted. Its useless for you to go. Miss Pei has spent so much effort planning for so long. She just wants to see you in a sorry state for her. You cant do as she wishes. You should stop your losses in time and stay away from her. Besides Ji He was afraid that Wei Yu could not hear him. Matriarch and Miss Wen Qiong also knew that Miss Fei Yi was Miss Pei! Its all my fault for being slow to react that day. I clearly heard Aunt Xiuzhi say Miss Pei, but Matriarch said that I heard wrongly! By then, Wei Yu had entered the elevator. However, Ji He felt that Young Master must have heard him! Tan Hua Manor. Wei was stopped outside the Tan Hua Mansion. He could not even see the door of the Pei residence. Uncle Dong rushed to the balcony upstairs. Madam, Madam. Han Qianye turned around. Huh? Uncle Dong walked forward and said, The Wei family is here. Han Qianye turned to look at Pei Jiao beside her and poked her. Daughter, did you hear that? The Wei family is here. I guess its most likely Wei Yu. When Pei Jiao heard this, she did not even look up, as if it had nothing to do with her. Seeing this, Han Qianye turned to Uncle Dong. Go tell that kid that its too late today. The Pei family doesnt receive guests. Tell him to go to Shengshi Hotel tomorrow to attend the engagement ceremony. Uncle Dong nodded. Understood, Madam. A few minutes later, Uncle Dong personally walked to the entrance of the Tan Hua Manor. At this moment, there were several security officers standing at the entrance because Wei Yu had tried to barge in a few minutes before Uncle Dong arrived. Hence, there were only four security officers at the entrance. Now, four more came. Youre here. The security officer recognized Uncle Dong and made way respectfully. Uncle Dong nodded and walked forward to say to Wei Yu, Hello, Mr. Wei. Im the Pei familys butler, Uncle Donga Madam asked me to pass you a message. The Pei family is not meeting guests today. Please leave. In addition, Madam has invited Mr. Wei to attend the engagement ceremony of Miss and the new son-in-law at Shengshi Hotel at nine tomorrow morning. Every word was polite. Wei Yu said with a cold expression, l want to see Pei Jiao. Uncle Dong advised, Youll see her tomorrow morning when you go to Shengshi Hotel. Wei Yu said, Tell Pei Jiao that I wont leave until she comes out tonight. Seeing how persistent Wei Yu was, Uncle Dong did not say anything. He shook his head helplessly and turned to go in. A few minutes later, Uncle Dong came to the terrace again. Madam, Mr. Wei wants to see Missy. He said that if Missy doesnt see him, he wont leave tonight. Han Qianye chuckled. Who is he threatening? Uncle Dong said, He tried to barge in just now, but fortunately, he was stopped. 1 think hes stubborn. Im afraid he wont leave until he sees Missy tonight. Young brat, you really think too highly of yourself. Han Qianye did not have a good impression of Wei Yu at all. It was all prejudice. Pei Jiao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, Did he come alone? Uncle Dong nodded. Yes. Han Qianye placed the fruit tea in her hand on the glass table and said unhappily, No matter what he does, youre not allowed to see him. Pei Jiao pursed her lips. l didnt plan to see him. On the glass table, Pei Jiaos phone screen lit up and then turned off. It lit up again and again. It was all Wei Yus calls. Pei Jiao turned on the silent mode, so she did not look at her cell phone. She was silent for a few seconds before reaching for her cell phone. Han Qianye patted the back of her hand gently. Why? Did your heart soften when you heard that he wont leave tonight and has to wait outside all night? Pei Jiao retracted her hand. 1 want to call him back. Han Qianye said angrily, In ancient times, Wang Baochuan dug wild vegetables. What do you want to do today? Learn to dig wild vegetables? Pei Jiao was speechless. Alright, I wont call him back. The mother and daughter chatted for a while more about tomorrows engagement arrangements. Han Qianye could tell that Pei Jiao was distracted, but she did not say anything. She stood up and left so that she could catch her breath. Pei Jiao looked back for a long time. After confirming that her mother had returned to the house, she picked up her phone. More than forty calls were from Wei Yu. Pei Jiao called him back and he immediately picked up. His low voice was filled with fatigue. l thought you would never talk to me again. Pei Jiao was very calm. Whats the matter with all these calls? Wei Yu calmed himself down. The Wei family has received an invitation. The Pei family wants to marry the Qin family. The engagement ceremony is tomorrow. Pei Jiao chuckled. And? Wei Yu said, It has nothing to do with you, right? How can it not be related? Pei Jiao picked up the fruit tea beside her and took a sip. After all, one of the protagonists of the marriage alliance is me. Didnt I send you an address this afternoon? Thats the address of my engagement tomorrow. Youre welcome to come. Fei Yi! Wei Yus voice was almost hysterical on the phone. Pei Jiao took a deep breath and maintained a calm attitude. She put down the fruit tea and said, Fei Yi is my nickname. My main name is Pei Jiao. In addition, if theres nothing else, Ill hang up. If she did not hang up, Pei Jiao felt that she could not breathe. For some reason, her chest felt so tight that her heart felt like it had been minced into dumoline filling. At this moment, Wei Yu said, l want to see you now. Pei Jiao refused without hesitation. Impossible. l beg you, I want to see you Wei Yu l s voice was very hoarse. Can l? Pei Jiao frowned, her emotions indescribable. I Fei Yi, come out come out and see me, okay? I beg you Pei Jiao, who was about to hang up, suddenly froze when she heard Wei Yus intermittent and hoarse tone.. She said in disbelief, Wei Yu, are you crying? Chapter 706 - Chapter 706: Blood All over the Ground Chapter 706: Blood All over the Ground Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The Wei Yu that Pei Jiao knew would not shed a tear easily even if he was tortured and in pain. But just now, she vaguely heard his low and hoarse voice. Her first reaction was that he was crying When she asked the question bluntly, Wei Yu denied it vehemently. I didnt! Why would I cry Pei Jiao choked on a laugh. So I was thinking too much. Thats right. Why would someone like you cry? Her tone was thin and cold. Just like that night when she raised her hand and hit his neck, decisive and resolute. Wei Yu said slowly and stiffly, I know you hate me. Pei Jiao said, Since you know it, why say it? Wei Yu said, If you dont come out to see me, Ill snatch the marriage tomorrow. Pei Jiao chuckled and said indifferently, Are you threatening me? Yes, Im threatening you. If you dont come out to see me now, Ill definitely snatch the marriage tomorrow. Im going to disrupt your engagement. Wei Yus tone was firm. At this point, Pei Jiao naturally did not doubt the authenticity of Wei Yus words. Since he had said it, he would definitely carry it out. Pei Jiao only felt that if Wei Yu threatened someone else, it was very likely that he would succeed. But threatening her? It could only be said that he thought too highly of himself. Pei Jiao threw him three words indifferently. I wont come out! Then she hung up and dropped her hand on the glass table. She was so angry! At this point, this man was still so arrogant. He actually thought that he could make her compromise by threatening her. If she really compromised tonight, she would definitely be controlled by him again in the future. Of course, she had no intention of having any more dealings with him. After the fake engagement was held, it would be best if she could make him so angry that he would lie in bed for ten days and half a month. From then on, the two of them would never contact each other again. Huh? Weird? Why wasnt there any movement on the cell phone? She forcefully hung up the call, but Wei Yu stopped calling her incessantly?! Pei Jiao was not sure if she had been too angry just now to notice her cell phone. She took back her cell phone and looked at it. There was really not a single call. There were a lot of WeChat messages, all of which were blessings. The moment she opened it, there were all kinds of blessings. She thought that she would feel slightly better after reading a few more of these blessings. In the end, the more she read, the more depressed she became. She simply turned off her phone. Out of sight, out of mind. She drank the fruit tea and got up to go to sleep. At this moment, Uncle Dong rushed over, looking quite anxious. Young Miss! Uncle Dong hurried to Pei Jiao, panting. For some reason, Pei Jiao suddenly had a bad feeling. What happened? Uncle Dong panted. Its that Mr. Wei. He, he, he It wasnt that Uncle Dong was deliberately saying half of it, but that he was almost out of breath. He was old and had run too quickly just now. It took him a long time to make himself clear. It was that Mr. Wei who had a conflict with the security officer at the door. Pei Jiaos eyebrows twitched. Did he break in? No! Uncle Dong said. He was beaten. Pei Jiao heaved a sigh of relief. He deserved it. Hearing that Wei Yu had been beaten up, Pei Jiao had no sympathy at all. He really thinks that the security officers of Tanhua Manor are pushovers. He even dared to barge into Tanhua Manor. Of course he deserved to be beaten! Uncle Dong was not finished. But, Miss, Mr. Wei was beaten up a little badly. Bad? How bad is it? Pei Jiao was calm a second ago, but when she heard that Wei Yu had been beaten up a little seriously, she felt a little nervous and worried. Uncle Dong: I heard that theres blood all over the ground. Weve called 120! What? The ground is covered in blood? The scene of Wei Yu lying on the ground being kicked by many people instantly appeared in Pei Jiaos mind. Her heart skipped a beat. How did this happen? Hes Young Master Wei after all. Dont they know how to control their strength?! As she spoke, she walked in and prepared to go downstairs. Before Uncle Dong could react, Pei Jiao was already downstairs. Uncle Dong immediately caught up. Miss! Miss, where are you going? Pei Jiaos face was dark and solemn. Ill go take a look. Uncle Dong was worried. But Madam said you cant go out tonight. By then, Pei Jiao had already walked away. Just dont tell her. Uncle Dong: How could she not know if I didnt tell Madam Pei Jiao was just in time. The ambulance had just arrived when she arrived. Uncle Dong was really not exaggerating. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and Wei Yu was lying on the ground half-dead. There were a few security officers standing beside him, but no one went to help Wei Yu up. He watched coldly. Seeing this, Pei Jiao was furious. She ran over as quickly as she could. What are you doing? As Pei Jiao arrived, the eight security officers made way for her. Her aura was like a tidal wave. When Pei Jiao saw that Wei Yus nose and mouth were covered in blood and he was lying on the ground on his last breath, her heart felt like it had been stabbed. She squatted down, but because she was afraid that she would use too much strength to aggravate Wei Yu t s injuries, her helpless hand stopped in midair, not daring to touch him. Wei Yu? Pei Jiaos voice was trembling, but she did not notice it. Wei Yu, who was in a pool of blood, slowly opened his eyes. The moment he saw that it was Pei Jiao, he forced a smile and said with difficulty and intermittently, Youre finally willing to see me. With that, he fainted. It was as if he had resisted for so long just to wait for Pei Jiao. Wei Yu? Wei Yu, wake up? Wei Yu? Pei Jiao carefully grabbed his wrist, her fingertips quickly tainting the blood on his body. She shouted a few times, but Wei Yu, who was completely unconscious, did not respond to her. Pei Jiao suddenly turned to look at the security officers standing at the side. If he wants to barge in, just stop him. Dont tell me that the eight of you can stop him alone. Why did you beat him up like this? At this moment, the medical staff who had gotten out of the ambulance were walking over quickly with a stretcher. The security officers who were questioned by Pei Jiao were all frightened and afraid of her anger. One of them mustered his courage and said, Its Mr. Peis orders. Mr. Pei asked us to do as we please. If anything happens, we dont have to be responsible. My brother or my father? Pei Jiao asked. The other bodyguard gathered his courage and said, Both. Pei Jiao understood that it was not just one person. It was her brother and father. Perhaps her mother had also tacitly agreed. She was getting engaged tomorrow, so they would not attack Wei Yu at this time. However, Wei Yu happened to come forward at this time and ask for a beating. Madam, please move aside, the medical staff beside her reminded Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao stood up and moved aside. Then, she watched as the medical staff carried the unconscious Wei Yu onto a stretcher. Blood dripped from Wei Yus hand. His hand was hanging to the side and the ground was covered in blood. It was a shocking sight. Then another paramedic asked, Whos his family? One of the security officers said, His family is not here. You can just take him away. The paramedic nodded. Sure. But as he turned around, the medical staff was stopped by Pei Jiao. Wait a minute! The paramedic turned around and Pei Jiao said, Im his family. Ill accompany you. The medical staff asked, Whats your relationship with the injured? Hey, dont ask. Lets go. Save him first, or hell bleed to death. Pei Jiao did not think too much about it and followed them into the ambulance. The security officer stopped her. Miss Pei, you cant go Pei Jiao was inexplicably angry. You beat him up so badly. Cant I go to see him? The security officers looked at each other. In the end, no one dared to stop Pei Jiao from following the ambulance.. Chapter 707 - Chapter 707: Can You Stop Crying? (1) Chapter 707: Can You Stop Crying? (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At the hospital. Wei Yu was sent to the emergency room. As a family member, Pei Jiao had to wait outside. While she waited, she was anxious and frustrated. She kept pacing back and forth, occasionally looking back to see if the emergency room door was open. There was blood all over the floor. Would he die from blood loss? Wei Yus body was so good. He should be able to withstand it, right? How did those security officers hit him? Did Wei Yu lie on the ground and let them hit him without fighting back? What if Wei Yu was going to die? Pei Jiao had countless questions in her mind. In the end, this last question made her heart skip a beat. Then, she immediately abandoned this unrealistic thought. How could this scourge die! He was so lucky! Family, please move! the paramedic said from behind. Pei Jiao turned around and saw that Wei Yu had been pushed out by the medical staff, but he was still unconscious. Overwhelmed with worry, not only did she not move aside, but she stepped forward and asked, Hes not dead, is he? This tone, coupled with Pei Jiaos current expression, made the medical staff wonder if this family member in front of them wanted to see the injured die and be pushed out. The injured patient is out of danger. Please make way. We want to push him to a normal ward, the medical staff said to Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao muttered to herself as she made way, Its good that hes not dead! She knew it. He had only been beaten up and seen a little blood. It was not life-threatening. Besides, her father and brothers instructions were only to teach Wei Yu a lesson. How could they really kill him? Since Wei Yu was fine now, then shouldnt she go back? Although he was still unconscious, it seemed that he was fine. The Wei family would rush over to take care of him if they knew. It was not appropriate for her to stay here. Besides, her parents would probably be angry if she left as Wei Yus family in front of so many security officers tonight, so she had to go back quickly. Pei Jiao walked over and pressed the elevator button. While waiting for the elevator to rise, Pei Jiao felt especially conflicted. She hesitated about whether to take a look at Wei Yu or leave. She was already standing at the elevator door. At this moment, the medical staff walking over from afar shouted, Family? Family? Take this form and go to the contributory office downstairs to apply for hospitalization. Pei Jiao was stunned for a moment and almost said, Im not his family. Seeing that the payment list was already in front of her, she swallowed the words and took it. Okay, 1 understand. The medical staff reminded Pei Jiao, The patient is in Ward 47. Pei Jiao nodded. Thank you. Seeing that the family member in front of him was in a lost state, the medical staff comforted her. Hes fine. He just suffered a serious injury and has to rest well for the next period of time. Do you know the exact situation of the people who beat him? If theres anything difficult to resolve, I suggest you call the police to deal with it. The medical staff did not know the exact situation. In their eyes, such a matter indeed had to be reported to the police, so they kindly reminded Pei Pei Jiao shook her head. Theres no need to call the police to deal with it. Some private disputes will be resolved. The paramedic indicated that he understood. As he turned away, she said, You can visit him in the ward after you pay the fee. Pei Jiao replied, Okay. After the medical staff left, Pei Jiao gritted her teeth and resigned herself to fate. She went downstairs to pay for the hospitalization. There were not as many people in the hospital at night as during the day. There was no need to queue for the payment downstairs. After Pei Jiao paid the fee, she took the invoice upstairs to Wei Yus ward. She tried to be as quiet as possible as she pushed through the door. When she arrived at the bed, Pei Jiao looked at the sleeping Wei Yu and slowly frowned. There was too much blood. Wei Yus face was still very pale. There was gauze on his forehead and left cheekbone. The corner of his mouth was still torn and blood seeped out. Compared to his usual high-spirited appearance, he looked very pitiful. If he opened his eyes, he would probably be in a sorry state. She had never seen such a fragile side of Wei Yu. At a time like this, it seemed that anyone could bully him. Even if she slapped him now, he could only accept it. He might not wake up. At the thought of this, Pei Jiao could not help but smile. Then, she leaned over and waved her hand at the sleeping Wei Yu. l really want to slap you! She wrinkled the tip of her nose and retracted her hand. If you had told me nicely about breaking off the betrothal back then, how could there be such nonsense now? As long as you told me nicely, how could I not agree? Now, youre being tormented and injured. You deserve it.. Retribution, do you know? Hmph! Chapter 708 - Chapter 708: Can You Stop Crying? (2) Chapter 708: Can You Stop Crying? (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations With that, Pei Jiao snorted angrily. Wei Yus eyelashes trembled slightly in his sleep, but Pei Jiao did not notice. Tired of standing, she pulled a stool out from under the bed and sat down. She crossed her legs, her expression indifferent. Thinking about it carefully, we only met a few times when we were young. You were so beautiful as a little boy, as exquisite as a doll. I couldnt help but kiss you a few times. You dont really think I liked you when I was young and when I grew up, I still liked you, do you? You must think so. Youre really narcissistic. Pei Jiao clicked her tongue and shook her head. When I grow up, Ill forget about you. How can I like you? Wei Yus eyelashes fluttered again. This time, Pei Jiao saw it. She suddenly stood up and leaned closer. After taking a closer look and seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, she sat down again and muttered to herself, wonder if you can hear what Im saying She guessed he couldnt hear her. Pei Jiao said enough and felt thirsty, but there was no water to drink in the ward. She simply took out her phone and dialed Ji Hes number from her memory. After Ji He answered the call, she briefly explained Wei Yus current situation and gave him the hospital address. Ji He said that he would come over immediately, and Pei Jiao hung up. After calling Ji He, Pei Jiao stood up and put away her cell phone. She looked down at Wei Yu for a moment before turning to leave. At this moment Her hand was suddenly grabbed. Pei Jiao was shocked and subconsciously retracted her hand. However, the moment she retracted her hand, the hand that was holding her tightened, causing Pei Jiao to be unable to retract her hand. She turned around and realized that Wei Yu had woken up. His eyes were half open, and his palm was holding her hand slightly hard. The strength was clearly not letting her go. That deep gaze was fixed on her. Pei Jiaos eyebrows twitched. Youre awake Wei Yu opened his mouth to speak, but he couldnt make a complete sound. He tried a few times before finally saying, Pei, Jiao. He was struggling so hard that the first thing he said was her name. Pei Jiao leaned over slightly and looked at him, who was trying his best to speak and ask her to stay. Coupled with the gauze on his face, he looked so pitiful. Pei Jiao wanted to pry his hand away, but she couldnt bear to. She asked, Do you want water? Wei Yu shook his head gently. Pei Jiao asked, Then what do you want? Did he want to go to the toilet? That would be too difficult for her! She would not help. Wei Yu looked at her lovingly. You, sent me to the hospital? Pei Jiao said, You dont have to thank me. After a pause, she added, But you have to pay me back for the medical fees. After all, we have to be even. Neither of us can owe the other. Wei Yu t s lips curved slightly, but because the corner of his mouth was broken, the pain made his expression look painful. Pei Jiao frowned. Youre already so injured, yet you can still smile? Wei Yu endured the pain and said word by word, Im happy to see you. He spoke intermittently. When he was unconscious, he was satisfied to see her. When he woke up, he saw her too, so he was extremely happy. It was right not to fight back when he was beatenit was worth it. At this moment, Pei Jiao asked, Didnt you dodge when they hit you? Or didnt you fight back? Your skills shouldnt be so bad, right? Wei Yu closed his eyes for a moment and said, No. Pei Jiao slowly stood up and placed her other hand on the head of the bed. Did you not dodge or did you not fight back? Both. This was Wei Yu e s answer to her. Pei Jiao frowned. Huh? Wei Yu said, l want to see you. Im willing to be beaten. Pei Jiao: She really didnt know what to say about him. Forget it. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Ive already called that assistant of yours. Hell be here soon. I have to go. Remember to reimburse me for the medical expenses. Pei Jiao had no intention of staying any longer. She had been preparing to leave before he woke up. Now that he is awake, she should leave immediately. But Wei Yu held her hand tightly and refused to let her go. Can you stay, please? Pei Jiao did not scold him on account of how pitiful he was. Its very late. I have to go home. Let go. Wei Yu refused to let go. Pei Jiao had no choice but to pry it open with her other hand. Wei Yu was injured and could not exert much strength compared to Pei Jiao. He was quickly pried open. Instead, he grabbed the hem of her shirt. Dont. Go. Pei Jiao sweated. You make it sound like I abandoned you heartlessly. Wei Yus expression was dull. Isnt that so? Pei Jiao: Wei Yu enunciated each word clearly. Didnt you just want to abandon me? She didnt want to be fierce to him on account of his pity, but his pestering made Pei Jiao not want to tolerate it anymore. She was about to scold him when she paused. She saw Wei Yu looking at her pitifully with red eyes. This was an expression Pei Jiao had never seen on Wei Yu t s face before, and his red eyes Pei Jiao felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat. You This guy was actually crying. He had refused to admit it over the phone, but now his eyes were red in front of her. It was simply hateful! She hated it when men cried. Wei Yu! Pei Jiao gritted her teeth and said angrily, Youre not allowed to cry. Wei Yus eyes were very red and misty. As he blinked, a tear fell. However, he still refused to admit it. How can 1, possibly, cry! Pei Jiao was originally very angry, but seeing him deny it with tears in his eyes, she found it funny. Looks like I have to take a photo for you to see. As she spoke, she was about to take her cell phone. Wei Yu sat up to stop her. The pain all over his body made him look like he was in pain. Pei Jiao was shocked and quickly held him. What are you doing? Cant you behave after being so seriously injured? It would be strange if you can recover when you move around like that. Wei Yu grabbed her wrist. Then dont leave, okay? Pei Jiao asked, If 1 dont leave, am I going to stay here and watch over you all night? Im not that kind. Wei Yus eyes were red and his tone was a little choked. You can. Come to the bed. Ill sit. As long as you dont leave. Pei Jiao: Or, he continued despite the pain in his body, you come to the bed. Ill hold you and sleep. Pei Jiao: She looked at Wei Yu, who wanted to say every word clearly and tried his best to persuade her to stay. His eyes were red from crying, and his expression was so aggrievedthis relationship made Pei Jiao feel helpless and amused. She suddenly reached out and wiped his tears. There was a hint of gentleness in her negotiating tone.. Can you stop crying first? Chapter 709 - Chapter 709: The Thing About You Kissing Me (1) Chapter 709: The Thing About You Kissing Me (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Wei Yu agreed in a choked voice. Okay. He stopped crying. But his black eyelashes seemed to have been wet by the rain, and his eyes were filled with tears. Pei Jiao looked at Wei Yu and an indescribable feeling rose in her heart. She hesitated and asked him, How many times have you cried recently? Wei Yu pursed his lips and remained silent, as if it was difficult for him to speak. Pei Jiao knew him well. Seeing his expression, she understood. It seems that youve been crying a lot recently. If he hadnt been so miserable, she would have put her hands on her hips and laughed at him. Although she held back her laughter, she could not help but mock, Youre Dr. Wei who returned from overseas. Youre the high and mighty young master of the Wei family. Youre indeed quite spineless to play with yourself for someone youve only known for more than a month. After saying that, Pei Jiao realized that her words were too sarcastic. She cleared her throat and added, What I mean is that no matter what, you shouldnt risk your life. After a beating tonight, you wont recover for ten days to half a month. Wei Yus eyes flickered. Are you worried about me? Pei Jiao subconsciously replied, No, Im mainly afraid that youll die in Tan Hua Manor. Its more troublesome for my brother to deal with it. You heartless woman! Wei Yus throat felt a little better and he immediately choked on Pei Jiaos words. Pei Jiao smiled. What a heartless woman. Youre right! Its not the first time youve known me. Ive always been so heartless. If you were really heartless, you wouldnt be here now. Wei Yu knew her well. Pei Jiao asked, Then Ill leave? No! Wei Yu panicked and grabbed Pei Jiaos shirt like a child. You cant leave. Pei Jiao raised her hand to look at her watch and realized that she was not wearing it when she went out. She had no choice but to take out her phone and check the time. Then, she handed the phone screen to Wei Yu and pointed at the time. Ten-thirty. Its already very late. I still have to get engaged tomorrow. Its enough that I can send you to the hospital so late and waste so much time with you. Wei Yus tone was cold. Do you have to get engaged to that Qin guy tomorrow? Pei Jiao pried open his fingers one by one. Of course. The invitation was sent out three days ago and published in the newspapers. Didnt your Wei family also receive the invitation? How can it be fake? With that, she pried Wei Yus fingers away and took a few steps back. Wei Yu stared at her without blinking. You dont love him. Why are you engaged to him? Pei Jiao looked indifferent. So what if I dont love him? Im old enough to get married. There are no restrictions on me. What about me? Wei Yu asked her urgently for an answer. Didnt you like me at all? Even a little? Pei Jiao said, No. The word was short and decisive. It showed how eager she was to draw the line between them. Wei Yu felt as if his heart was riddled with holes. It hurt. Pei Jiao, you made me like you first. Now that I like you, you abandoned me Pei Jiao frowned and pretended to be indifferent. How much cultivation do I have? Its all because youre not clear-minded enough to resist temptation. Wei Yu choked on a laugh. Not everyone can treat me like this. Ive always remembered that incident when I was young. From the beginning, when you were close to me, 1 didnt resist because I subconsciously accepted you. Pei Jiao was at a loss. What is it? Wei Yu enunciated each word clearly. About you kissing me. Pei Jiao: Wei Yus ears quickly turned red. He turned his face away and said in a strange tone, When I was young, my health was not good. Everyone gave in to me and followed my wishes. No one had ever forced my will. That was the first time! The first time someone forced a kiss on me without my consent and even pressed me to the ground. My first kiss was taken away by you then, and The accusation was blunt and aggrieved. Pei Jiao couldnt stand it anymore and stopped him with a flushed face. Enough, enough. Stop talking. Ive already forgotten about this. Dont mention it again. Although it was what she had done when she was young, Pei Jiao never wanted to admit that she had bullied Wei Yu so bravely when she was young. After that, she even complained that Wei Yu would not let her kiss him. Everyone was laughing. Only Wei Yus eyes were red with grievance, pitiful and helpless. Seeing that Pei Jiao did not want to admit it and even wanted to quickly clear her name, Wei Yu gritted his teeth in anger. l indulged you in getting close to me from the beginning, but I never understood why you were the only one different. Only when I knew that you were Pei Jiao did I understand the reason. You used force on me when I was young, coaxed and lied to me when I grew up.. If I dont fall for you, who will?! Chapter 710 - Chapter 710: The Thing About You Kissing Me (2) Chapter 710: The Thing About You Kissing Me (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao wanted to say, Uh The more Wei Yu spoke, the more resentful he became. Now that youve coaxed me, you dont want me anymore. Pei Jiao, only you dare to treat me like this in this life. Only you would trample on my sincerity! Pei Jiao wanted to say, Wei Yu snorted. l admit that Ive fallen into your hands in this life. Whether you want me or not, Ill rely on you from now on. Pei Jiao: No Pei Jiao walked closer to the bed and reminded Wei Yu, Im getting engaged tomorrow. Is there a point in you clinging to me like this? Wei Yus expression became much calmer. As long as you dare to get engaged, Ill snatch the marriage tomorrow. If I cant, I dont mind being the third party. Pei Jiaos lips twitched. Youre crazy. Wei Yu smiled sarcastically. Indeed. I went crazy for love and was driven crazy by you, More than once, Pei Jiao felt that Wei Yu was very paranoid, especially now. You want to stop this engagement, right? Lets see if you can enter the hotel tomorrow. With that, Pei Jiao turned around and left with a cold expression. Wei Yu saw that Pei Jiao had really left this time. He scrambled off the bed, but his injured body was too disappointing, causing him to fall off the bed. With a thud, Pei Jiao turned around and saw a disheveled figure lying on the clean floor. But this time, Pei Jiao did not soften and left. Wei Yu choked. You really dont care about me anymore It was already past eleven when Pei Jiao returned to the Pei residence. When she returned so late, she thought that her parents were already asleep. However, before she reached the entrance of the Pei residence, she saw that the lights were brightly lit in front of her. It was over. There would definitely be a denunciation next. She prayed that her mother was alone and not the entire family. She went in with trepidation. When she saw that besides her mother, there was also her father, brother, and sister-in-law sitting on the sofa in the living room, she almost blacked out. Yo, youre back. Han Qianyes calm tone came, Pei Qingji looked up at his daughter who had returned with a tense expression. Pei Jingzhous face was cold. Only Li Xiwu smiled when she saw Pei Jiao return. Then, she waved at Pei Jiao. Come here. Pei Jiao noticed that Li Xiwu was sitting alone on a small sofa and was not sitting with her brother. Li Xiwu asked her to sit in the seat beside her, far from her brother and her parents. At that moment, Pei Jiao was grateful. She quickly walked to Li Xiwus side and was about to sit down when Pei Jingzhou suddenly said, Did 1 let you sit? Pei Jiaos tone was so soft. Brother! How angry could he be with his biological sister? She did not understand and went against the rules. Calling him brother was more useful than anything else. Pei Jiao kept practicing the truth. Although Pei Jingzhous tone was still cold, his expression was clearly much better than before. Sit down and talk. Aye, aye. After Pei Jiao sat down, Li Xiwu held her hand and told her not to worry. Pei Jiao was so touched that she almost snuggled into Li Xiwus arms. Han Qianye couldnt bear to look. Look at you, wheres your courage? Pei Jiao said, Courage cant be eaten. Its fine if you dont have it. Han Qianye laughed in anger and asked directly, Did you send that Wei kid to the hospital? Pei Jiao nodded. Yes. Han Qianye asked, Dead? No, Pei Jiao said honestly. l was about to come back after sending Wei Yu to the hospital, but he woke up, so 1 wanted to take a look and chat with him. Thats why I came back a little late. As for what they talked about, Han Qianye and Pei Qingji were not curious. Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu were not curious either. However, there was something that had to be clarified tonight, so Han Qianye said, Everyone present is family. Jiaojiao, tell us the truth. Do you have feelings for Wei Yu? No! Pei Jiao immediately denied it. But the faster she denied it, the more it meant she was trying to hide something. After thinking about it, Han Qianye swallowed some of the questions she wanted to ask and only asked, Then the engagement tomorrow will be held as usual? Of course it will be held as usual, but Pei Jiao suddenly looked at Pei Jingzhou. Brother, when Wei Yu comes tomorrow, just stop him. Dont hit him again. Pei Jingzhou said coldly, Does your heart aches? Brother, Im a human, not a cold-blooded animal. It would be a sin not to let him live well when hes about to die. Pei Jiao smiled bitterly. Anyway, its enough that Ive achieved my goal. Dont hurt him again. Pei Jingzhou understood what Pei Jiao meant. No matter how much she hated Wei Yu, she only hated him. She was not so vicious that she wished Wei Yu would die. If it really came to that, his sisters innocence from when she was young would be gone. It was already too late. Han Qianye yawned and did not say anything else. She stood up and went back upstairs. Before Pei Qingji left, he reminded Pei Jiao, If you want to change your mind, tell me directly. Dont feel any burden. Youre my daughter. Pei Jiaos eyes sparkled. know, Dad. After Pei Qingji and Han Qianye went upstairs, Pei Jingzhou also stood up. Just as he reached out to hold Li Xiwus hand, Li Xiwu said, Go up first. Ill talk to Jiaojiao for a while. Ill be up soon. Pei Jingzhou did not say anything. He nodded and went upstairs. Now, only Li Xiwu and Pei Jiao were left in the living room. Pei Jiao knew that Li Xiwu had something to say to her. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she took the initiative to ask, Sister-in-law, what do you want to tell me? Li Xiwu pursed her lips. Dont let yourself regret it. Pei Jiao couldnt help but smile. Sister-in-law, dont tell me you think I like wei Yu too? Li Xiwu shook her head, then stood up and placed her hand on Pei Jiaos shoulder. Youre the one who wants to keep the answer to yourself. Pei Jiao was suddenly silent. The next morning. Shengshi Hotel was in full swing preparing for an engagement ceremony. In the fitting room, from seven oclock onwards, rows of hangers were pushed in front of Pei Jiao, allowing her to choose the gown she wanted to wear today. But it was almost nine oclock. Pei Jiao chose none. Perhaps because it was a last-minute engagement, the gown had to be custom-made in advance. The shortest time to work was a week. Three days was far from enough. They could only choose from the various brands. It was inevitable that she would be picky. When Qin Zhuoning arrived, he heard that Pei Jiao had yet to choose a gown, so he could only go up to look for her personally.. Chapter 711 - Chapter 711: The Best Time to Marry You Chapter 711: The Best Time to Marry You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Qin Zhuoning pushed the door open and entered. The huge cloakroom was spacious and bright. A dazzling array of clothes, shoes, hats, and jewelry in layers of glass cabinets greeted her eyes. Currently, there were four service staff carefully choosing a gown for Pei Jiao to wear to todays engagement. Pei Jiao sat on the sofa, leaning forward slightly. She reached out and fiddled with the bouquet of beautiful red roses in front of her absent-mindedly, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. Miss Pei, look at this set. Its a Chinese cheongsam with Su Xius pattern. The buttons are low and wont hurt your neck. Its mainly comfortable. Pei Jiao glanced at it and shook her head. l dont like the style. The last time she wore a very beautiful Chinese cheongsam, Pei Jiao took a look and said that she didnt like it, but the reason was not the style, but the abrasive buckle and high collar. Wearing it for a few more minutes would be a burden. This Chinese cheongsam did not have a high collar, and the style was 90% similar to the previous cheongsam. However, the reason Pei Jiao did not like it this time was because of the style. Wasnt that obvious enough? She just didnt want to wear it. The service staff felt it. Then Ill go and match two more sets. The waiter thoughtfully poured Pei Jiao a cup of coffee. After pouring the coffee, she stood up. Seeing the man who came in, the waiter was about to remind Pei Jiao when Qin Zhuoning waved his hand and the waiter left silently. Pei Jiao retracted her hand and stretched. Her curly hair, which had been rolled up in advance, flowed down. Two strands hung down on both sides of her forehead, making her look lazy and beautiful. After choosing nearly a dozen sets, she was already tired of choosing. She wanted to nestle on the sofa and sleep, but her mind was repeatedly pulled by the engagement today. She was feeling frustrated when someone sat down beside her. She was stunned at first, but she quickly sat up straight and perked up. Brother Zhuoning, why are you here? To pick you up, of course. Qin Zhuoning was wearing a white suit. His broad shoulders and narrow waist perfectly matched this suit. He was very formal. Pei Jiao had always known that Qin Zhuoning was very handsome, but today, Qin Zhuoning seemed to have reached a new level of handsomeness. Qin Zhuoning did not mind Pei Jiaos fearless gaze at all. He even asked her, How do I look today? Pei Jiao replied affirmatively, Very handsome! Qin Zhuoning raised his eyebrows. Very high praise. Pei Jiao replied, Youre not only so handsome today. Its just that I rarely see you in a white suit. Its rare to see this on our engagement day. If you think I look good in a white suit, Ill wear it often in the future, Qin Zhuoning said. Pei Jiao smiled. Dont wear a white suit every day just because I say that it looks good. Dont look good for others, but yourself. With that, she picked up the cup of coffee in front of her and sipped. Qin Zhuoning looked at her quietly for a moment, then raised his hand to look at his watch and reminded her gently, Its half past nine, Jiaojiao. Pei Jiao put down the coffee. Are the people at the hotel rushing you? Today was the day of their engagement. The entire Shengshi Hotel was extremely lively. The head of the Pei family and the head of the Qin family were already preparing guests in the hotel. Qin Zhuoning had already arrived at the hotel. When he found out that Pei Jiao was still choosing her gown, he specially rushed over. He answered Pei Jiao, Half of the guests are here, but we should go over. Half. There are already so many people Pei Jiao was still a little distracted. She stood up. Then Ill change into my gown and go with you as soon as possible. Qin Zhuoning also stood up. Do you want me to help you refer? Okay, Pei Jiao agreed happily. This patient with severe indecision needs your help. l remember that you didnt have indecision in the past After pausing for a moment, Qin Zhuoning quickly changed the topic. Do you want to wear a long dress or a short skirt today? Ill give you a suggestion based on the length. Pei Jiao knew that Qin Zhuoning immediately ended the topic of indecision. It was his sense of propriety. She didnt want to make things difficult for Qin Zhuoning. What was the point of delaying the engagement? She said to Qin Zhuoning, A long dress! I prefer a long dress. Qin Zhuoning nodded. Okay, Ill take a look for you. Pei Jiao thought that Qin Zhuonings aesthetic taste was probably the same as most mens. Her long dress was mainly white and beautiful, and it was best to look fairy-like. However, she did not expect Qin Zhuoning to choose a light lake-green feather dress for her. It had a small V-neck back and a strapless design. The skirt reached the ground, making Pei Jiaos eyes light up. At first, when the waiter helped Pei Jiao match it, she thought that Pei Jiao might not want to choose a slightly brighter and exaggerated style, so she did not take out this feather dress. Now that she saw the amazement in Pei Jiaos eyes, the service staff regretted thinking so much. Qin Zhuoning also took in Pei Jiaos shock and smiled. It seems that you like it very much. At least I like it at first glance. Pei Jiao walked forward. Ill try it first. Qin Zhuoning gestured to the waiter. Help her put it on. With a swish, the champagne-colored curtain was pulled closed, separating Pei Jiao from the two waiters who helped her change into her gown. While waiting, Qin Zhuoning received a call from the hotel. After answering, the person on the phone said, Mr. Qin, that person came to the hotel. Qin Zhuonings eyes darkened. No matter what, we have to stop him. The person on the phone said, We havent made a move yet. Mr. Peis men have stopped him so far. Qin Zhuoning said unhurriedly, If he dares to barge in, dont worry. The person on the phone replied, Understood. After the call ended, there was the sound of a curtain opening behind her. Qin Zhuoning turned around and his gaze landed on Pei Jiao, who had changed into a feather dress. He was immediately stunned and could not look away for a long time. From your expression, I guess this feather dress should look good on me? Pei Jiao walked over with the dress. Qin Zhuoning was a little dazed. There were thousands of words in his heart, but in the end, they only gathered into two words. Very beautiful. Pei Jiao looked at herself in the mirror. The effect is better than I expected. You have good taste. Qin Zhuo slowly walked behind Pei Jiao and looked at her bright reflection in the mirror. He murmured softly, Jiaojiao, youve really grown up. Pei Jiaoyang smiled. Please, Im almost 23 years old, okay? As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Zhuoning couldnt help but hold her hand. To be able to have a grand engagement with you in your best years, its worth dying. When Pei Jiao heard him mention the word death, her expression changed. Brother Zhuoning, you have to avoid saying those things. Dont mention these unlucky words on such an auspicious day. With that, she naturally pulled her hand out of Qin Zhuonings. Lets go to the hotel to hold our engagement. Qin Zhuoning stared at Pei Jiaos back and hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his voice and asked her, If today wasnt a fake engagement but a real engagement, Jiaojiao, would you still go? Pei Jiao stopped in her tracks. She turned sideways and slowly turned to look at Qin Zhuoning with a faint smile. Of course. A hint of hope rose in Qin Zhuonings eyes. Are you also Pei Jiao said, Didnt we agree on the fake engagement from the beginning? So there wont be this if.. Chapter 712 - Chapter 712: Kidnapped Chapter 712: Kidnapped Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The motorcade headed for the hotel. The first car was the Pei familys car. Pei Jiao and Qin Zhuoning sat in the second car. Ever since they got into the car, Qin Zhuoning had been carefully tidying Pei Jiaos feather skirt. Pei Jiao was very embarrassed. Brother Zhuoning, get someone to follow behind me and help me tidy my skirt later. Theres no need to ask someone else to do this. Qin Zhuoning had already tidied up his feather skirt and looked at her gently. As long as Im here. Pei Jiao thought about rejecting him. At this moment, Qin Zhuoning said, Its more convenient for me as Im closer to you. He had a point, so Pei Jiao did not refuse again. The car drove on the wide road, still a distance away from the hotel. Qin Zhuoning knew that Pei Jiao had woken up early today. Although she had spent some time choosing a gown, her face was visibly tired. He moved closer to her unobtrusively and said, Do you want to take a break? He wanted her to lean on her shoulder. Then remember to call me when we get there. With that, Pei Jiao raised her hand and yawned. She wanted to force herself to stay awake, but after Qin Zhuoning said that, she seemed to be even more sleepy. If youre a guest, I wont necessarily call you when we arrive, but the protagonist today is the two of us. Ill definitely call you when we arrive. Dont worry. Qin Zhuoning slowly pressed his shoulders together. l can lend you my shoulder as a pillow. Pei Jiao shook her head. No, Im fine just like this. An almost imperceptible look of disappointment flashed across Qin Zhuonings eyes. Less than two minutes after Pei Jiao closed her eyes, the sound of Harley came from outside. The sound wave rose and fell, making Pei Jiao, who was not curious, open her eyes and look out of the car window. The scrawny man was wearing a helmet and riding an ultra-cool Harley, keeping the speed level with her small car. The man glanced into the car from time to time. There was amusement in his eyes under the transparent goggles. The Harleys voice was so loud, and the man in the car was exceptionally cool. It was difficult for Qin Zhuoning, who was beside Pei Jiao, to ignore him. Instinctively alert, Qin Zhuoning reminded the chauffeur coldly, Speed up and get the convoy behind to stop him. He thought the man riding the Harley was Wei Yu. Theres no need to speed up. Let him follow. Pei Jiao smiled brightly. Hes my friend. Qin Zhuoning thought it was Wei Yu, but when he heard that he was her friend, he heaved a sigh of relief. He did not know if it was because he had been too tense for the past two days, but he kept feeling that Wei Yu would snatch Pei Jiao away on the day of the engagement, so when he saw someone dressed like this, he subconsciously thought that Wei Yu was intercepting her. At this moment, Qin Zhuonings expression was much more relaxed. He asked, Its your friend from Xingzhou, right? Yes. Pei Jiao nodded. Last night, she had called Beike and asked him to attend her engagement with Qin Zhuoning. In the end, Beike said that he was not free and could not come. After she said that it was a fake engagement, Beike changed his words. It depends. Ill come over when Im done. Pei Jiao only replied with two words: Damn tsundere. Today, Beike still came and followed the convoy. Clearly, he had been here when Pei Jiao got into the car. Pei Jiao raised her hand and leaned against the car window. She raised her voice and asked, Did you bring the gift money? l didnt bring it. Beike turned to look at her. Be careful not to expose yourself. Pei Jiao looked down at her chest. She was not exposed at all. This gown was super compatible with her figure. She puffed out her chest. Thats the style. Beike replied, How ugly. Pei Jiao glared at him. How dare he say that she was not good-looking? She shouted indignantly, You look bad today too. From a distance, she could see the smiling eyes under the Beike helmet. But at this moment, something happened ahead. The steady car gradually stopped. The Harley that Beike was riding was parked on the parallel line beside Pei Jiaos car. Pei Jiao looked forward and asked curiously, Why did you suddenly stop? Qin Zhuoning comforted her. Its fine. Ill go down and take a look. Stay in the car and dont come down. Pei Jiao nodded obediently. Okay. As Qin Zhuoning got out of the car, Beike also took off his helmet. His hair fluttered in the wind. He raised his hand to smooth it back, then got out of the Harley. If Qin Zhuoning could not recognize Beike just now, then now that Beike had taken off his helmet, he could only recognize at a glance that Beike was the same person who often walked with her. Just as he had guessed, this person was from Xingzhou. Since he was here, Qin Zhuoning was even more at ease to go forward and check on the situation. After Qin Zhuoning left, Beike carried his helmet to Pei Jiaos car. He placed one hand on the edge of the door and looked down at Pei Jiao in the car. I threw a huge order and didnt accept it. I specially came to attend your engagement ceremony. I cant be so unlucky, right? Pei Jiao said, Whats so unlucky? Beike raised his chin in front of him. It looks like a car accident. The traffic police are here. Pei Jiao did not expect to encounter a small accident. 1 hope its not a big problem. Beike naturally hoped so too. He bent down and leaned in front of the car window. With a serious expression, he praised, Youre quite beautiful today. Pei Jiao smiled smugly. How beautiful? Beike said without thinking, Like a bird. Pei Jiao: Beike: A bird with green feathers all over its body. Pei Jiao scolded him with a smile. What can you expect from a hog but a grunt? Beike laughed. By the way, did you not check the calendar for your engagement? Not really, Pei Jiao said belatedly. Beike clicked his tongue. Just because its a fake engagement, you skipped the checking! Pei Jiao thought for a moment and felt that Beikes words made sense. Even if it was a fake engagement, she should have looked at the date. Look, she had met with a car accident when she went out! Beike changed his grip on the helmet. Ill go take a look at the front. Dont follow me out of curiosity, lest you drop a feather. Pei Jiao could not be bothered with him and rolled up the car window. She did not know how long she would have to wait. Pei Jiao closed her eyes and prepared to sleep for a while. She might be at the hotel when she woke up. Meanwhile, Qin Zhuoning had already figured out the reason for the traffic jam. It was indeed a small car accident. Someone was injured, but no one died. It was fortunate. It wouldnt take more than ten minutes for the accident to be cleared. Qin Zhuoning went to greet them and asked them to settle it as soon as possible. When he returned, he saw the man with the helmet walking over. Beike was the first to ask, When can we clear it? A few minutes, Qin Zhuoning answered with a frown. Why are you in front? Beike: To join in the fun, of course. l came to the front to check on the situation. Its because youre there that I can leave in peace! Qin Zhuoning said in a low voice, Beike raised his eyebrows. What are you worried about? Qin Zhuoning had a bad feeling and immediately turned back. Beike had yet to realize the seriousness of the matter. He snorted and put on his helmet. After turning around, he leisurely turned back. However, Beike, who had returned, did not see Pei Jiao. He only saw Qin Zhuonings dark face and the feathers scattered on the ground! The smile on Beikes face suddenly disappeared. His first thought was that it was over.. The beautiful bird had been taken! Chapter 713 - Chapter 713: Search the City Chapter 713: Search the City Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao had been kidnapped! The car door suddenly opened and a sudden white handkerchief covered her mouth and nose. Her pupils dilated. Before she could struggle, she quickly lost consciousness. That person did not have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex at all. He pulled the unconscious Pei Jiao up with brute force and carried her on his shoulder. The thick feather skirt was scraped repeatedly and scattered on the ground because it was too fragile. In the blink of an eye, the unconscious Pei Jiao was stuffed into another van. The van drove away. The car exhaust left behind stirred up a hot wind, sweeping up the feathers on the ground. In an instant, they danced in the sky. When Qin Zhuoning rushed back, all the flying feathers fell to the ground. And the van was long gone. There was a bang! Qin Zhuoning, who was filled with anger, punched the car door heavily! Beikes expression changed drastically. Its Wei Yu? Without a doubt, Wei Yu was the most likely to abduct her. Qin Zhuonings expression was dark and ugly. I was on guard at all times, he even barged into the hotel entrance to cause trouble. I didnt expect him to come up with a plan to lure the tiger away! Then how do we find her now? Beike thought of a complete set of actions in his mind. Go to the Wei family? Force them to hand her over? If the MJei family protects Wei Yu, well teach them a lesson and let them know that they cant abduct just anyone! Qin Zhuoning took out his phone with a dark expression and made a call. Compared to Qin Zhuoning, who was burning with anger and had veins popping on his forehead, Beike was much calmer. While Qin Zhuoning was waiting for the call to go through, Beike said, As long as its confirmed that Wei Yu did it, you can rest assured that he wont hurt Pei Jiao. That Wei guy loves Pei Jiao very much. The only trouble is that the chances of him snatching Pei Jiao away this time and returning her to you are not high! Qin Zhuoning glanced at Beike. That gaze was so cold that it made ones heart tremble. After the call connected, Qin Zhuoning quickly told Pei Jingzhou about the current situation. Pei Jingzhou fell silent. Qin Zhuoning quickly sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly asked, Whats wrong? Pei Jingzhou said, I have Wei Yu now. Qin Zhuonings expression changed, and the voice coming from the receiver was neither loud nor soft enough for Beike to hear. The expression of Beike, who had once thought that Wei Yu had snatched Pei Jiao away, turned solemn. It was over. If it wasnt Wei Yu, that beautiful bird was really in danger The engagement ceremony between the Pei family and the Qin family was canceled in advance because of Pei Jiaos disappearance. As no reason was announced, although many guests were curious about what had happened, no one deliberately asked. In a surveillance room, seven or eight computer screens were showing the replay of every surveillance route. Qin Zhuoning had been watching the surveillance cameras for nearly half an hour. Pei Jingzhou pushed the door open and entered. Qin Zhuoning stood up and turned around. He immediately asked, Is everything locked down? Pei Jingzhou replied with a dark expression, Yes. After confirming that Pei Jiao had not been snatched away by Wei Yu but by an unknown group, Pei Jingzhou immediately used his connections to get all the airports, train stations, high-speed rail stations, passenger stations, and crossings to record Pei Jiaos information and intercept her immediately. Now, it was almost a situation where the entire city was searching. However, the capital was too big and needed time. Half an hour had passed, but there was no news of Pei Jiao yet. Pei Jingzhou walked to the monitor and glanced at the seven or eight screens in front of him. He asked Qin Zhuoning, Have you found out where that car is? Qin Zhuoning stared at the replay of the surveillance video on the screen and said coldly, The van that took Jiaojiao away was originally the only car on that road that was going in the opposite direction. Because of a small accident in front, after that van led the way in the opposite direction, a few other cars followed it. The van disappeared into thin air when it reached the intersection. I suspect that those cars that followed the opposite direction were covering for the van. Pei Jingzhou leaned over and pressed the pause button. Dont doubt it. Its just a cover. The image frozen on the screen was of the cars driving in the opposite direction converging. They seemed to be avoiding cars that werent driving in the opposite direction, but they were actually covering for the van. Qin Zhuoning said, So, there are many of them. Pei Jingzhou frowned slightly. Theyre from overseas. Qin Zhuoning also realized that the window of a small white car that intersected with the van was lowered. The man sitting in the front passenger seat was a foreign bald man. That was not showing his face carelessly. It was obvious that he was deliberately letting all of them see it. These people came from overseas and are very likely to be hired, so is it possible that they are from the guild Jiaojiao came from? Qin Zhuoning guessed boldly. Pei Jingzhou had also thought of this. Without hesitation, he took out his phone and took a picture of the foreign mans face on the screen. Then he called Beike. Meanwhile, Wei Yu was locked in an empty room in the Pei residence. In order to prevent him from escaping, Pei Jingzhou ordered someone to tie his hands and feet and tie his body to a chair. Beike pulled a chair and sat opposite Wei Yu. He looked at Wei Yu, who was still injured and tied to the chair, unable to move. There was a subtle feeling of gloating. He crossed his legs. You really didnt arrange it? Wei Yus expression was ugly and his heart was filled with anger, but he held back his anger and said nicely, Do me a favor and let me go, okay? That wont do! Beike crossed her legs. The person who kidnapped you is Pei Jiaos brother, not me. How can I dare to make a decision? If he finds trouble with me, will you come back and keep an eye for me? The remark was a joke. However, Wei Yu took it seriously. Sure. Im going to look for her now. Whether I find her or not, if Pei Jingzhou asks, Ill definitely come back and explain. Beike pretended to waver. Do you think its true? Wei Yu also saw that Beike was wavering and immediately said, Of course its true, as long as youre willing to untie me. How naive, hehe. Beike mocked mercilessly. Wei Yu: His cell phone buzzed. Beike took out his phone. When he saw the caller ID, the sloppy look on his face immediately disappeared. Wei Yu said in a hoarse voice, Put it on speaker! Beike wanted to reject him outright. However, seeing Wei Yus almost begging gaze, he was still moved. He pressed the speaker button and his voice spread. Pei Jingzhous voice sounded. I sent you a photo. Take a look and see if you recognize it. Beike replied, Alright, let me take a look. Pei Jingzhou reminded him, Dont hang up. Beike did not hang up. Seeing a red dot on the message column, he opened it. Wei Yu, who was tied to the chair, suddenly made a huge commotion. He tried to get up and escape the rope that bound him, eager to see what the photo Pei Jingzhou had sent to Beike was. Especially when he saw Beikes expression change drastically, Wei Yu was extremely nervous. Whats wrong? Whos in the photo? Is there a problem? Beike muttered in a low voice, Its Martin. Hes in the capital Martin? Wei Yu had never heard of this name. You know him? Beike closed his eyes, his expression extremely ugly. l understand. I understand why she was kidnapped! It was because of him! Because he had stolen the mysterious document from the base, Martin and the others knew that the document was in his hands and that he would not hand over the document no matter what, so they kidnapped Pei Jiao! Martin and the others were planning to use Pei Jiao to threaten him to get that mysterious document?! Beike raised his hand and grabbed a handful of his hair, his face filled with frustration. Damn it! Its actually because of me! Its all my fault! Wei Yu suddenly became irritable and seemed to understand a little. So it was someone from that guild who kidnapped Pei Jiao? Pei Jingzhou heard their conversation clearly.. Chapter 714 - Chapter 714: Join the Fun Chapter 714: Join the Fun Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Pei Jiao woke up, she realized that her limbs were tied up. Her vision was dark and she could not see anything. It was still unknown what kind of environment she was in. She tried to curl her knees and found that she couldnt move. Youre awake! A strange mans voice came from straight ahead. Pei Jiao slowly raised her head. Although she could not see anything, her intuition told her that she was looking in the direction of the man. Pei Jiao found this voice vaguely familiar. But she couldnt remember where shed heard it before. Until the man spoke again Dont be afraid. In mv hands. youre either safe and sound. or youre safe and sound. The mans tone was mixed with a hint of frivolity as he slowly leaned in front of Pei Jiao. Now, 1 have good news for you. As long as you cooperate with me, the chances of you being safe and sound are higher! Pei Jiao could feel the man approaching. She smelled strong tobacco, acrid and unpleasant. The action of leaning back was her disdainful attitude, and this inadvertent little movement made the man laugh. That laughter was low and deep, making ones hair stand on end. Pei Jiao probed, Beiyang? The mans laughter suddenly disappeared. Pei Jiao knew that she had guessed correctly, but what she did not understand was, Why did you kidnap me? Beiyang was Beikes biological brother. She had met Beiyang a few times at the Xingzhou Guild, but Beiyang did not have a good relationship with Beike. The conflict between the two brothers was very deep. She wondered if Beiyangs kidnapping this time had anything to do with Beike After a long while, Beiyangs voice came. It was as low and cold as ever. Can you distinguish people by their voices? Yes, Pei Jiao admitted. You havent answered my question. Whats the hurry! Beiyang grabbed Pei Jiaos chin. He exerted a little force, forcing her to look up. Pei Jiao was unwilling to cooperate. Her jaw twisted. Beiyang warned coldly, If you move around again, I dont mind dislocating your jaw for a few minutes. Just these few minutes are enough for you. Pei Jiao wanted to struggle again. Beiyang slowly exerted strength on his wrist. Pei Jiao cried out in pain and did not dare to move again. Seeing that she had become obedient after learning her lesson, Beiyang was satisfied. You dont take the soft approach, but the hard one. Youre asking for trouble. Pei Jiao swallowed and felt a chill run down her spine. Even though she could not see anything, she could feel the threat coming from Beiyang. Beiyang studied Pei Jiaos face closely. Although she was blindfolded, it did not affect his admiration at all. Pei Jiao hated such dominance. She frowned. Have you forgotten that the Pei family is behind me? Hahahaha! Beiyangs wanton laughter came. You can even know its me from my voice. How can I not know that youre from the Pei family? Have you forgotten what I just said? Youll be fine. At most, youll suffer a little for the next two days. Besides, 1 dont want to offend the Pei family. I just want something. When I get it, Ill let you go. Wanted something? She had disappeared from the base for more than a month and did not owe anyone anything. What did Beiyang mean? As she was thinking, the black cloth in front of her was removed, and the blazing light blinded Pei Jiao. She subconsciously turned her head. After a while, she barely opened her eyes. She turned her head and Beiyangs half-smiling face came into view. She composed herself and said, Long time no see. Beiyang replied, Its been a long time. Pei Jiao asked, Am I still in the capital? Yes! Of course! Beiyang grabbed Pei Jiaos shoulder and thoughtfully helped her up from the ground. Then, he sat her on the chair beside him. Ive let you suffer. Pei Jiao was very cooperative. She knew better than to make a scene. Because she knew that Beiyang was different from Beike. He was too ruthless and was best at being ruthless when talking. He was a pervert. Pei Jiao was not afraid of hooligans, baddies, or people stronger than her, because these people always had room to deal with them. However, she was afraid of perverts, because perverts were the most unfathomable. Pei Jiao moved the corners of her lips and forced a smile. Is it convenient to say what you want? Beiyang smiled. Good question. Then, Pei Jiao calmed herself down and listened to Beiyang say, A document. Pei Jiao asked, What document? At this moment, there was a knock on the door and a tall foreigner entered. His name was Martin and he was Beiyangs subordinate. After Martin came in, he walked straight to Bei Yang and leaned over to whisper, Second Young Master is here. Since they were close, Pei Jiao could roughly hear it. Beiyang laughed softly. Look at my move. Its so accurate. Kidnapping him is useless. Kidnapping Pei Jiao made him compromise immediately. Lets go and see my lover brother! As he spoke, Beiyang was about to get up. And Martin wasnt finished. Theres someone else who came with the second young master. Beiyang didnt take it seriously and asked casually, Who? Martin said, One of the participants in completing that secret document, Dr. Wei. Beiyangs eyes flashed with disbelief. He quickly turned to look at Pei Jiao and suddenly laughed. l didnt expect that Dr. Wei would actually come. Pei Jiao, youve really impressed me. Your business ability hasnt been very good for the past two years, but youre very good at charming people. If I can keep Dr. Wei here today, youll take credit. Pei Jiaos heart sank. Beike had naturally come to confront Beiyang and resolve the matter.. Why was Wei Yu here at this time? Chapter 715 - Chapter 715: Alone to Repay Chapter 715: Alone to Repay Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Dr. Wei, how have you been? Beiyang, who was laughing enthusiastically, walked over from the crowd. Wei Yu turned sideways and looked at the person walking towards him not far away. His gaze stopped on Beiyangs face for a moment before he turned to look at Beike beside him. You two brothers dont look alike. Beike had a serious expression. How can it be the same when one is born from an ex-wife and the other is a second wife! No wonder! Wei Yu raised his hand to support his chin. What happened next was unpresentable. Beike said faintly, He was born from the ex-wife. I was born from the second wife. Hes my brother! Wei Yu: Hahahahahaha! Beiyang walked over and laughed arrogantly. Dr. Weis opinion coincides with mine. As expected, were the same kind of people. Beikes face darkened. Beiyang walked over and handed his hand to Wei Yu. Dr. Wei, Ive heard a lot about you. Wei Yu coughed lightly and handed over the hand that was supporting his chin. He shook Beiyangs hand lightly. l havent heard much about you. Youre just a little famous. Beiyang said teasingly, Dr. Wei is not humble at all. Wei Yu smiled. With my aptitude, is that considered modest? With that, Wei Yu let go and the smile on his lips faded. Not counted! Of course not! Beiyang looked very easygoing, and there was no ferocious glint in his eyes. Its the Dr. Wei in my impression. Hes as arrogant as ever. Wei Yu said, You flatter me. Compared to Beiyangs passionate treatment; the guest, Wei Yu, seemed a little arrogant. He looked around. Other than Beiyangs subordinates, there was no one else. This was a villa halfway up the mountain outside the capital. Other than the group of fierce subordinates standing behind Beiyang, there were seven or eight Landkuluzes outside when they came in just now. Clearly, Beiyang had made full preparations for this plan and had invited foreign mercenaries. Even the Pei family could not act rashly. And the reason why Wei Yu dared to disregard Beiyang was naturally because he had a value that Beiyang had taken a fancy to. This value was also Beikes bargaining chip for him to come to the negotiation today. Please sit down. Beiyang waved his hand. Martin and the other deputy brought two chairs and a table, then two bottles of whiskey. Beiyang said, Our Xingzhou doesnt have the etiquette of treating guests with tea. We only have the rule of treating friends with wine, Pour it for the two of them. Martin picked up a bottle of whiskey and roughly unscrewed the cap. He poured wine into two empty glasses, then said in not-quite-standard Mandarin, After you. Beikes face was dark. He did not even look at the glass of wine. Wei Yu calmly picked up his wine glass. Treat your friends with wine He sneered. Then you should have many friends, right? Beike continued faintly, Hes too sinister and cunning. No one is his friend. Hes very pitiful. These words hit Beiyang where it hurt. A dark look flashed across his eyes. You wont have it easy either if you anger me, my good brother. Figure out your current situation. Beike raised his eyebrows. Are you threatening me? Beiyang stood there motionless. So what if I threatened you? If you could resist, would you still come today? Beikes palm on the armrest of the chair suddenly tightened. He was about to get up when Wei Yu pressed his hand on the back of Beikes hand and reminded him in a low voice, Calm down. Dont ruin my business. Beike endured it again and again, forcefully suppressing the anger in his chest. After Wei Yu retracted his hand, he raised his voice and asked, Wheres my friend? Beiyang was very happy. He pointed inside. Inside. However, Beiyang said that verbally. Beike and Wei Yu could not be sure if Pei Jiao was really inside. She might have been moved. Hence, Wei Yu suggested, I want to see her first. Of course, but only if Beike smiled faintly. Dr. Wei, you have to show your sincerity before I can let you see her. Wei Yu said, Im here today to show my sincerity. Brilliant. Bei Yang was very satisfied. He turned to look at Beike. My good brother, did you see that? This is the attitude to negotiate with me. Beike still did not look happy. What exactly do you want? Dont you know what I want? Beiyang enunciated each word clearly. The mysterious document you stole from the base. Beike said nothing. On the way here, he had already told Wei Yu that he was the one who stole the mysterious document that was missing from the base. However, he did not steal it the night he went after Wei Yu with Pei Jiao. Instead, he went to the base when Wei Yu left the base and returned to the Wei family. He had everything just right. The base only discovered it two days after it was stolen. Which was the night of the accident. He pretended not to know where Wei Yu was going that night and acted with Pei Jiao along the way, lying to her. After Pei Jiao disappeared for more than a month, he actually knew that Pei Jiao was at the base and that she was very safe. He did not look for her because he had been wandering around with that mysterious document. It was not until Pei Jiao contacted him for the second time and he settled the mysterious document that he went to pick her up. He had been acting and lying to Pei Jiao. His heart was filled with guilt and uneasiness, so no matter what, he had to bring Pei Jiao back today. Thinking of this, Beike glanced sideways at Wei Yu. That deep gaze was unfathomable. Seeing that Beike was silent, Beiyang did not rush him. He had plenty of patience. Martin took a chair and placed it opposite Wei Yu and Beike. Beiyang sat down in it. Think about it slowly. He casually crossed his long legs and looked at Wei Yu and Beike opposite him. He said unhurriedly, Two for one. Leave the document and you behind. You can exchange it for her to leave. Otherwise, leave the document and Dr. Wei behind, this works as well. Wei Yus eyelids twitched. This outcome was what he had expected before he came. They could either use Beike and that mysterious document to exchange for Pei Jiaos safety, but if Beike was in Beiyangs hands, he might not have a good ending in the end as the two of them have a long-standing grudge. But if he stayed, Beiyang would need him, so his life would not be in danger. However, before Wei Yu could speak, Beikes voice sounded He stays. These two words were powerful. Beike pointed at Wei Yu, who was sitting at the side, and said word by word, Ill hand that mysterious document to you. Wei Yu will also stay. You have to let me go with her. Beiyang glanced at the silent Wei Yu and smiled inexplicably. Hes actually the righteous one? Why dont I believe it? Beike immediately said to Wei Yu, Tell them that youre willing to stay and exchange for Pei Jiao to go back with me! Wei Yu stared at Beike for a long time before saying word by word, Yes, Im willing to stay and let her go. Beike raised his eyebrows. Did you hear that? He stayed willingly. Beiyang chuckled. Im curious about how you convinced Dr. Wei to stay in advance. Beikes voice was cold. No. He owes Pei Jiao this. Beiyang saw through Beike. Dr. Wei owes a love debt and repays it with his courage.. What about you? Will you turn around and take the credit? Kill two birds with one stone? Chapter 716 - Chapter 716: Continue This Lie Chapter 716: Continue This Lie Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations You talk a lot of nonsense. Beikes expression was cold. Isnt it just that document? Now that Ive agreed to give you the document and Wei Yu is staying, arent you satisfied? Beiyang didnt like Beike talking to him with such an attitude. He warned with a treacherous smile, Figure out your current situation and who youre talking to. Beikes jaw tightened as he suppressed his anger. This defeated and forbearing look made Beiyang especially happy. He turned to look at the silent Wei Yu. Doctor Wei, are you really willing to stay? Wei Yu replied without hesitation, Yes. Delightful, but The smile on Beiyangs lips faded. Youd better record a voluntary video. Only then can I keep you in peace. Otherwise, if you go back on your word halfway, it will be very troublesome for me to deal with it if the matter blows up. Beiyang had his own concerns. He kidnapped Pei Jiao, his mercenaries would be able to withstand the Pei familys anger. However, if he forcefully abducted Wei Yu, it was a small matter to endure the Wei familys anger. One had to know that Wei Yu had an entire base behind him. That entire base represented the interests of the country, so they naturally could not afford to provoke it. Wei Yu, on the other hand, was very calm from the beginning to the end, as if no words could cause ripples in his eyes. He turned to look at the aggressive Beiyang and was in no hurry to answer. Instead, he picked up the glass of wine and took a sip. He was elegant, like a guest. Beiyangs eyes lit up. Dr. Wei, hows my wine? It burns. Wei Yu enunciated each word clearly. But I drank it anyway. The smile in Beiyangs eyes was so thick that it could not be dispelled. He clapped in satisfaction. How satisfying. Just based on Dr. Weis sincerity, Ill let her go immediately as soon as the document is in my hands. Beike turned to look at Wei Yu and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself in the end. Half an hour later, Pei Jiao sat in a car leaving the villa. The driver was Beike, and they were alone in the car. Beike drove very quickly and attentively. Along the way, Pei Jiao asked many questions. Beike only chose some answers and did not reply to the most important ones. Pei Jiao was probably angry. Her calm tone suddenly rose. Stop the car! Beike naturally would not listen to Pei Jiao. He maintained a steady speed and continued driving. He asked with a smile, Why are you stopping the car? Its a long way. Are you planning to walk back? Pei Jiao was also stubborn. Just walk! Stop the car. The smile on Beikes lips faded. After surviving a calamity, can you behave yourself? Pei Jiaos heart was in a mess, but Beike always played dumb. At this moment, she had a plan. She made a feint of snatching the steering wheel, and Beike blocked her hand. You dont care about your life, but I cherish my life. Stop fooling around. Pei Jiao said angrily, Ive asked you so many times along the way. Where did Wei Yu go? Why didnt you give me a straight answer? Is he still up there? He went back a long time ago. Beikes expression did not change as he said calmly, I was the one who came to pick you up alone. When Wei Yu found out that you had been kidnapped, he insisted on following me. I couldnt dissuade him, so I brought him here. Pei Jiao said, And then? Why did he leave again? Beike held the steering wheel with one hand. Before I came, I told him that there was a high chance that Beiyang wouldnt let him in. He didnt believe me and insisted on following me. See, he was chased back before he even entered the door. Pei Jiao snorted. Do you think Ill believe you? Beikes expression was calm as he replied lightly, Its up to you to believe it or not. Anyway, hes sticking to you like a plaster. You might see him when you get back. Whats the hurry? Perhaps this sentence was too natural. Pei Jiao felt that it might really be as Beike had said. Wei Yu was fine, but he had just been chased away Thats not right Pei Jiao frowned, and her expression became much more serious than before. When you came, I knew that after that subordinate came in to report to Beiyang, I clearly saw that Beiyang was very surprised by Wei Yus arrival. He even claimed that he was Dr. Wei. How could he be chased away without even seeing the door?! Beike: Pei Jiao was smart. Sometimes, she was too smart, making it difficult for Beikes lie to continue. Beike raised his hand to his temple, but his expression did not change as he continued to insist on that excuse. Hes already gone back. If you dont believe me, theres nothing I can do. Its up to you. Pei Jiao was silent. Faced with Beikes words, she wanted to question him again, but she could not say anything because it made her seem very willful. She also hoped that it was really as Beike had said. Wei Yu had already gone back.. Chapter 717 - Chapter 717: Thinking I Like Her Chapter 717: Thinking I Like Her Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao could only convince herself this way. Otherwise, she would never allow Wei Yu to be used in exchange for her leaving this deal. She did not want to owe Wei Yu anything. Beike sent Pei Jiao back to the Pei residence in Tan Hua Manor. Pei Jiao had just gotten out of the car when she was pulled over by Qin Zhuoning, who was walking quickly towards her. Youre back. Qin Zhuonings arm was a little strong, making Pei Jiao angry. It was still Beike who reminded him after getting out of the car. If you continue to hug her like this, shell die. Sorry. Qin Zhuoning realized that although he had let go of his arm, his hand did not leave. Instead, he held her arm tightly and asked worriedly, Did anything happen there? Pei Jiao saw that Qin Zhuoning was worried about her and shook her head. Im fine. Beike picked me up. Qin Zhuoning turned to look at Beike. At this moment, Beike took out a cigarette box and had just lit a cigarette. The fingers holding the cigarette were trembling, especially when Qin Zhuoning looked at him. He bit the cigarette butt and explained incoherently, My half-brother, a little personal matter. He gave me face, but I had to give him what he wanted. It was agreed, and he agreed to let Pei Jiao go. Actually, Qin Zhuoning did not know why Beiyang let her go. Only Pei Jingzhou and Beike knew about this matter. Pei Qingji also knew a little, but the others, including Han Qianye and Li Xiwu, did not. Pei Jiao observed Beikes expression. He looked like he was lying inside and out, but it was useless to interrogate him. The words she wanted to say were in her throat, but in the end, she didnt ask anything. She turned and went in, equally silent, representing her current attitude. Qin Zhuoning did not follow her in. He knew that Pei Jiao, who had just been kidnapped, probably did not want too many people around her now. She needed to rest. The cigarette in Beikes mouth had already been extinguished. He did not smoke at all. Seeing Pei Jiao enter, he seemed to heave a sigh of relief, but his brows were a little dejected. When Qin Zhuoning saw this, he raised his hand and took away the cigarette from his mouth. Can you tell me whats going on? Fourth Brother didnt even go to fetch Jiaojiao back. Other than believing in you, there should be something else. Beike raised his eyes to look at Qin Zhuoning and said firmly, Its a private matter of my family. My stupid brother saw that I was close to Pei Jiao and thought that I liked her, so he kidnapped her and threatened to take something he urgently needed. The words were clear. However, what Qin Zhuoning cared about at this moment was not what that document was. Instead, it wasYour brother suspects that you like Jiaojiao, but its just a suspicion. He shouldnt have put in so much effort to kidnap Jiaojiao. In other words, unless Beike really liked Pei Jiao! However, Qin Zhuoning did not ask directly for the sake of his face. Beike exhaled and did not answer. He turned around and was about to return to the car when Qin Zhuoning stopped him. Are you feeling guilty? Beike said as he walked, None of your business! The car door opened, and Beike was already in the car. Qin Zhuoning knew what was going on and did not ask further. He left Beike some face and watched his car drive away. Pei Jiao returned to her room and locked the door. She found her cell phone and called Wei Yu, but no one answered. Pei Jiao dialed a second time and a third time, but no one picked up. Annoyed, she called Ji He directly. Ji He picked up the phone very efficiently. It only rang twice before he picked up. Hello, who are you looking for? Pei Jiao said, Im looking for Wei Yu. Ji He did not recognize Pei Jiaos voice for a moment and replied first, My young master is very busy. May I ask why youre looking for him? Pei Jiao said bluntly, Im Pei Jiao. Oh, youre Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao Pei what, Pei Jiao?! Ji Hes tone changed from calm to horrified. Ji He asked nervously, Is it the Pei Jiao Im thinking of? Pei Jiao said calmly, Its the Pei Jiao youre thinking of. Ji He asked again, The one who dumped my young master? Pei Jiao took a deep breath. Yes. She immediately asked, Wheres Wei Yu? Ji He lost his temper. Why should I tell you? Pei Jiao held back her temper. Youd better think carefully before answering. Through the phone, Ji He said firmly, Why should I tell you my young masters whereabouts? Youre a woman who abandoned my young master. How dare you call and ask about his whereabouts? Young Master has already made up his mind to stay away from a vicious woman like you. Pei Jiao: Ji He also said, Do you know how deeply you hurt Young Masters heart last time? Ive never seen such a dispirited Young Master. Its all because of you. Pei Jiao asked, Are you done talking? Her warning tone carried a deterrent force that made Ji He shiver on the other end of the line. Ji He wanted to calm down, but he couldnt. He told Pei Jiao, Young Master has returned to the base. Pei Jiao asked, Really? Of course its true. Why would I lie to you! Ji Hes tone was very calm. Pei Jiao said, But he didnt answer my call. Ji He sneered. Isnt it normal for Young Master not to answer your call? You lied to him. He should have stayed away from you long ago.. Chapter 718 - Chapter 718: Discovering Pregnancy Chapter 718: Discovering Pregnancy Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao endured her anger and did not flare up. She tried her best to communicate with Ji He calmly. I only have a few words to say to Wei Yu. After that, I promise I wont contact him again. Ji He said with an attitude, You can tell me now. Ill pass it on to Young Master. Pei Jiao gritted her teeth. Send the message to you? You hate me so much that you cant wait for me to draw a line with your young master as soon as possible. Wouldnt it be adding fuel to the fire? Ji He was dissatisfied. Miss Pei, what kind of person do you take me for? Pei Jiao said, Someone who hates me. Thats undeniable. Ji He did not want to spend too much time on the phone with Pei Jiao. After all, Young Master had instructed him before, so he said, Up to you. If youre worried that Ill add oil, vinegar, and so on, just wait for Young Master to come back from the base and tell him yourself. If youre relieved, tell me. Ill pass the message on. Pei Jiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath. This situation was too difficult to guess. Previously, she could confirm that Wei Yu liked her very much, but now, she was not so sure. Now that Wei Yu did not answer her call, it was either because her engagement had made him see her clearly, so he wanted to return to the base after seeing her again. However, because he was chased away by Beiyang, he chose to return to the base directly. Or Wei Yu was at Beiyangs place and could not leave. Pei Jiao hesitated for a few seconds and asked, When is the next time he comes back from the base? Ji He brushed her off. About a month. Pei Jiao asked patiently, Whats the exact time? Im not sure about that. Youve been with the young master for so long, dont you know him well? Hes a workaholic. When he works, he doesnt care about anyone. The longest time he stayed at the base was for more than half a year. Pei Jiao: Half a year! So long However, half a year was enough for her to forget him and completely remove him from her life. She would never contact him again. Alright, then Ill talk to him personally when he comes out of the base. With that, Pei Jiao hung up on Ji He. In the following days, Pei Jiaos life returned to normal. The marriage with the Qin family had been paused because of a kidnapping. Now that Pei Jiao had returned, the Qin family mentioned this matter again. However, Pei Qingji rejected the Qin family on the grounds that his daughter had been frightened by the kidnapping and needed to recuperate. The Qin family understood and did not mention the engagement for the time being. Day after day, more than half a month passed quickly. Pei Jiao had not called Wei Yu again for more than half a month, including Ji He, but she would secretly pay attention to when Wei Yu would return from the base. In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed. Wei Yu still had not returned from the base. Pei Jiao began to feel even more uneasy. She wanted to go to the base, but at the same time, she knew very well that even if she went to the base, she would not be able to enter. Unless On this day, Pei Jiao still turned on her computer and spent a lot of effort to break through the bases firewall. She controlled most of the bases surveillance cameras, but she did not find Wei Yu. Her ability was limited. After being discovered, she immediately erased the information and exited. Then, she tried again. In the end, the computer went black. Irritated, she tossed the computer away. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. She went to open it. It was Uncle Dong standing outside. Pei Jiao asked, Whats the matter, Uncle Dong? Uncle Dong said, Miss, Mr. Qin and Mr. He are here. Mr. Qin said that he wants to invite you to ride a horse at the ranch. If you dont want to go, Ill reject them for you. No need. Pei Jiao was in a bad mood, so it was good for her to relax. Tell them to wait for me for a few minutes. Ill dress up. Uncle Dong nodded. Okay. A few minutes later, when Pei Jiao came downstairs in a dress, she saw Qin Zhuoning standing downstairs. He was wearing a white satin shirt and his eyebrows were clear. The European-style background behind him made him look like he was in a painting. Qin Zhuonings gaze never left Pei Jiao. When Pei Jiao approached, his eyes were filled with surprise, but he did not praise her directly. Instead, he asked worriedly, Are you in a bad mood these last two days? Pei Jiao was indeed not smiling at all. She looked like she was in a bad mood. As she walked out, she said, I havent been sleeping too well. I keep having nightmares at night. A nightmare? Qin Zhuoning kept pace with Pei Jiao. What kind of nightmare? Pei Jiao shook her head. I cant describe it. In that strange world, I kept turning into a small animal. I flew and swam in the water. It was very strange. Qin Zhuoning laughed. Then how is this a nightmare? Pei Jiao stopped. Because every time I wake up, there are tears in the corners of my eyes. The smile on Qin Zhuonings lips faded. Pei Jiao changed the topic. Wheres He Wang? Uncle Dong came up just now to say that you came with He Wang. Qin Zhuoning explained, At first, we came together, but now hes gone to the ranch first. This person really doesnt have any patience, Pei Jiao said. Then lets go too. The afternoon sun slanted over the ranch. Coffee tables were arranged under umbrellas. Many people were already sitting there. He Wang sat with a woman in a cheongsam. The woman in the cheongsam ignored him. He Wang was like a grandson, wishing he could take out his heart and coax her. Pei Jiaos eyes widened. Is that He Wang? Then the one beside him is Qin Zhuoning: Xiang Wanning. Pei Jiao fell silent. She could not continue asking questions she should not ask. She could just pretend not to know anything. Qin Zhuoning naturally held Pei Jiaos hand. Lets go change into riding clothes. Lets go. Pei Jiao retracted her hand calmly. Qin Zhuoning glanced at her and walked forward in silence. Follow me. There was a lot of entertainment in the ranch. Musical dramas, tea parties, shooting, and fencing. The people who came here to play were rich young masters and second-generation officials. They each had their own way of diversion and didnt interfere with each other. After changing into her riding clothes, Qin Zhuoning went to the stable and brought a horse over. Jiaojiao, ride this horse. Pei Jiao had nothing to pick on the horse Qin Zhuoning had chosen for her. I like the white one. Yes, a white horse. I knew you would like it. Come, Ill help you get on the horse. Qin Zhuoning reached out his gentlemanly hand. Pei Jiao had ridden a horse before and was very familiar with the process. She used the momentum to get on the horse. The white horse took two steps. Pei Jiao was still not sitting firmly. Her upper body was raised and falling, but she could hold on. Qin Zhuoning raised his head and asked her, Are you going to ride around first, or should I lead the horse around for you? I can ride it myself. Its not like I dont know how to ride it. Dont worry, Im very bold. Pei Jiao squeezed the horses belly. The horse slowly moved forward, bouncing. Seeing that she was riding very steadily, Qin Zhuoning was relieved. Pei Jiaos riding skills were not bad. She rode steadily for three laps. Before Qin Zhuonings last lap arrived, she nimbly dismounted and handed the reins to the horse trainer to take back to the stable. She went to change first. Along the way, her abdomen hurt slightly. She felt that something was wrong, so she went to the toilet first and realized that she was bleeding.. Chapter 719 - Chapter 719: Everyone Is Unjust, Everyone Is Sinful (1) Chapter 719: Everyone Is Unjust, Everyone Is Sinful (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao calculated her period and realized that it had been delayed for more than half a month. Her period was not always accurate every month. Occasionally, it would be delayed, or it would come in advance, Seeing that she was bleeding, she felt that it should be a late period, so she did not think too much about it. When she came out of the bathroom, she looked up and saw Qin Zhuonings back waiting for her. She walked over and shouted, Brother Zhuoning.! Qin Zhuoning turned around, his brows filled with worry. Are you feeling unwell? Theres no discomfort. Pei Jiao shook her head gently. need to buy some hygiene supplies. She didnt bring it with her when she went out, so she naturally had to buy it on the spot. Qin Zhuoning understood what hygiene supplies were. He took out his phone. Wait here for a moment. Ill get someone to buy them for you. He was considerate and gentlemanly enough not to mention those awkward words, but he knew exactly what she needed. Under such circumstances, Pei Jiao naturally would not reject his kindness. Then Ill have to trouble you. Dont stand on ceremony with me, he said, already making a call. After a few concise words, he hung up. Within a few minutes, the female ranch employee rushed over with a black bag to deliver something. The morning sun enveloped the entire ranch, making it golden. Pei Jiao was sitting under a parasol. It was early summer, and the wind from the north of the ranch was still a little cold. Qin Zhuoning took a shawl and placed it on Pei Jiao. Seeing that Pei Jiaos face was pale, he ordered another cup of brown sugar water and brought it over. He pushed the brown sugar water in front of Pei Jiao. I heard that drinking some brown sugar water will be much better. Pei Jiao took it and held it with both hands, absorbing the warmth from the cup. You know quite a lot. Qin Zhuoning: I checked on Baidu just now. His honesty made Pei Jiao laugh, but when she smiled, she would feel a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She thought that it was because she had pulled her nerves, but she realized that when she did not laugh, there would still be a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Pei Jiao frowned. Although her menstrual period was unstable, she had a constitution that did not cause abdominal pain. What is going on now? Qin Zhuoning could tell that Pei Jiao was feeling very uncomfortable and immediately suggested, Why dont I send you back? Pei Jiao did not want to trouble Qin Zhuoning too much, lest she spoil his mood. I just havent slept well recently. Its not as serious as you think. Lets wait a little longer. There are many reasons for not sleeping well. Dont force yourself. Qin Zhuoning was worried and pulled Pei Jiao up. Wen Ye knows an old Chinese doctor. Ill take you to that Chinese doctor and let him nurse your body. Pei Jiao wanted to refuse, but Qin Zhuonings attitude did not allow her to resist. In the end, she did not argue with him. Before leaving, Qin Zhuoning greeted He Wang. He Wang asked, Is the situation serious? Why dont I accompany you Forget it. Stay with her. Qin Zhuoning glanced at Xiang Wanning, who was riding a horse on the horse farm, and reminded him, If you teach her to ride a horse, be careful that she will turn around and ride away. As soon as he finished speaking, they saw Xiang Wanning bend down and communicate with the horse trainer in the horse farm. She asked the horse trainer to give her the reins. Without Qin Zhuonings reminder, He Wang saw it. He Wang turned around and scolded Qin Zhuoning for jinxing him. Then, he instructed, Remember to call me if anything bad happens. This time, it was Qin Zhuonings face that darkened. What bad situation can there be? Youre the jinx. He Wang replied perfunctorily. At this moment, he had already rushed into the horse farm. Fortunately, the horse trainer did not hand the reins to Xiang Wanning to hold. Instead, he waited for He Wang to enter before handing the reins to He Wang. From afar, Qin Zhuoning saw that Xiang Wanning was making a fuss again on the horse. He Wang immediately got on the horse and sat behind Xiang Wanning. He wrapped his arms around her and only calmed down after a while. Qin Zhuoning did not delay for long. After contacting Wen Ye, he quickly brought Pei Jiao to the old Chinese doctor. When they arrived at the Chinese Medical Hall, Pei Jiaos expression was clearly worse than at the ranch. Before she sat down, the respected old Chinese doctor looked at Pei Jiaos expression and frowned. He pointed. Let her sit there. Qin Zhuoning wanted to help her up, but Pei Jiao waved her hand. You dont have to treat me like a patient. Im just a little uncomfortable. Qin Zhuoning hesitated. Im worried Theres nothing to worry about. Coincidentally, my period is irregular. I plan to recuperate. Pei Jiaos tone was relaxed, and her breathing was not as weak as her face, making Qin Zhuoning feel much more at ease. The old Chinese doctor did not speak.. Chapter 720 - Chapter 720: Everyone Is Unjust, Everyone Is Sinful (2) Chapter 720: Everyone Is Unjust, Everyone Is Sinful (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Chinese medicine emphasized on observing, hearing, and asking questions. Ever since Pei Jiao came, the old Chinese medicine doctor had observed Pei Jiaos every move and facial expression. When Pei Jiao and Qin Zhuoning were talking, the old Chinese medicine doctor listened quietly. Then, the old Chinese medicine doctor sat down. When he was tidying up the pulse pillow, he asked Pei Jiao a few questions about her current sleeping state and working state. Pei Jiao answered them one by one, and finally, she took her pulse. Pei Jiaos expression was calm. The most she could think of was a deficiency in qi, uterus, and insufficient qi and blood. If it was more serious, she would go straight to the hospital. If it was not serious, she would prescribe medicine to recuperate. It was a very simple matter. Qin Zhuoning, who was standing beside her, had a worried expression on his face. He was even more nervous than Pei Jiao, especially the old Chinese doctor. He frowned as if he had encountered a difficult illness. Dr. Zhong Qin Zhuoning desperately wanted to ask something, but just as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by the old Chinese doctor. Be quiet. Qin Zhuoning could only take back what he wanted to ask and stand quietly at the side, not disturbing him anymore. Half a minute later, the old Chinese doctor retracted his hand. His grave brows had relaxed. He looked up at Qin Zhuoning, then at Pei Jiao and asked, Are you a couple? No. Pei Jiao answered no on the surface, but she was thinking, Why didnt he say the result and ask this question? The old Chinese doctor pointed at Qin Zhuoning and asked Pei Jiao, Is he chasing you? Pei Jiao still shook her head. She was about to explain her relationship with Qin Zhuoning, but Qin Zhuoning answered the old Chinese doctor before she could. Yes, Im chasing her. Although Im not her boyfriend now, Ill be soon. Pei Jiao was slightly stunned. She turned to look at Qin Zhuoning. No, we Youre pregnant, the old Chinese doctor said to Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao wanted to explain to the old Chinese doctor that Qin Zhuoning was joking, but when she suddenly heard the old Chinese doctor say, Youre pregnant, her heart froze and her face was filled with disbelief. She seemed to think shed heard wrong. Im pregnant? The old Chinese doctor nodded, his expression serious. Youre pregnant. This is a preliminary diagnosis, but with my decades of experience, the chances of a misdiagnosis are minimal. Also, your fetal qi is unstable and there are signs of a precursor miscarriage. To be safe, I suggest you go to a proper hospital. Qin Zhuoning slowly clenched his fists at his sides. He did not say a word and did not try to interrupt the conversation between the old Chinese doctor and Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao still did not want to believe the fact that she was pregnant. However, Wen Ye was a psychiatrist himself. After being introduced by his connections, the probability of such qualifications being misdiagnosed was indeed very small. She took the medicine. How could she be pregnant? I Pei Jiaos face was even paler than when she came. l took medicine at that time, but why am I still pregnant? This was not a shameful question. The old Chinese doctor answered Pei Jiao seriously. After hearing the old Chinese doctors words, Pei Jiao finally understood what the problem was. This was the first time, so she didnt understand and didnt have any experience. Before she could take the 24-hour emergency contraceptive pill she had bought, she was flustered by Wei Yu when he chased her to the hotel and fled in a hurry. In the end, it was already more than 24 hours before she took the pill. At this moment, the effect of the medicine had already been reduced. She thought that she would be fine after taking the medicine, so she did not take it again for seven days. When she walked out of the Chinese Medical Hall, Pei Jiao was still in a daze. She almost missed her step when she went down the steps because she wasnt paying attention. Fortunately, Qin Zhuoning, who had been following beside her, helped her up in time. Be careful. Pei Jiao turned to look at Qin Zhuoning, who was supporting her, and said self-deprecatingly, Im so cheap. Dont say that about yourself. Qin Zhuoning calmed her down. Youre not wrong. This was an accident. Pei Jiao shook her head, looking a little dazed. l wouldnt have come this far. She was still too impulsive that night! What did she mean by disregarding the consequences? What did she mean by not caring about losing anything? In the end, it all became a sin. It was indeed as the saying wentno one is unjust. Everyone who has feelings is a sin. Brother Zhuoning, please take me to the hospital first. She had to get rid of this thing in her stomach. She was not married yet. There was no way she would have a child out of wedlock. If word got out, the Pei family would be completely embarrassed by her. Qin Zhuoning knew what decision she had made. He would not persuade her, nor would he support her. He just reminded her from his position, Arent you going to tell him? Pei Jiao waved away Qin Zhuonings hand and walked down the steps with a cold expression. Why should I tell him? Its best not to let him know anything about me. Seeing Pei Jiaos determined attitude, Qin Zhuoning did not say anything else. Soon after the two of them left. Wen Qiong appeared in the Chinese Medical Hall. Wen Ye, who was beside Wen Qiong, tried to persuade his sister. Sister, I think its really not good for you to pry into other peoples privacy in private. Wen Qiong stuffed the bag into Wen Yes hand. Shut up and leave me alone. Wen Ye: He did not mean to let his sister know, but when he introduced Pei Jiao to the old Chinese doctor through Qin Zhuoning, his sister happened to be beside him and heard his conversation with Qin Zhuoning clearly. Old Zhong! Wen Qiong lifted her skirt and sat down opposite the old Chinese doctor. The old Chinese doctor looked up at Wen Qiong and said indifferently, What wind blew Mrs. Lin here? You should have told me in advance before coming so that I could shower and burn incense in advance to welcome Mrs. Lin. Wen Qiong said, Stop teasing me. Im here to ask you something. The old Chinese doctors expression turned a little more serious. Where are you feeling unwell? Wen Qiong said, Its not me. Its the girl who came to take your pulse just now. Whats wrong with her? The old Chinese doctor shook his head. One of the medical ethics. You cant casually reveal the patients condition to others. Wen Qiong knew this old mans character, so she could only torture him. A few minutes later, Wen Qiong came out of the Chinese Medical Hall with a serious expression. Wen Ye caught up to her and asked, Sister, are you going to look for Jiaojiao now, or go to the Wei family to tell Matriarch Wei? Im afraid 1 wont be able to make it alone. Wen Qiong said to Wen Ye, Xiao Ye, why dont you make a trip to the Wei family for me? Ill go find Pei Jiao. Well split up. Wen Ye was present just now and naturally knew about Pei Jiaos situation. She was pregnant, so it should be Wei Yu t s. Anyway, that was what his sister thought so far. However, Wen Ye had his own principles. Its up to Jiaojiao whether she wants this child or not. Sister, you shouldnt kidnap her with your morals. Besides, shes unmarried and doesnt like Wei Yu. Only a fool would choose to give birth under such circumstances. Wen Qiong frowned. Im worried that something has already happened to Wei Yu. Its been more than a month, but Matriarch Wei is still hiding it. She only told her that Wei Yu has returned to the base. Im not trying to use morality to kidnap Pei Jiao, but Wei Yu has yet to return Wen Ye said bluntly, In the end, dont you still want to use morality to kidnap her and restrain her? I think the best way to deal with it is to pretend that you didnt come today and pretend that you dont know anything. Pei Jiao can make her own decisions. Wen Qiong fell silent.. Chapter 721 - Chapter 721: Wei Yu Had Already Disappeared for a Long Time (1) Chapter 721: Wei Yu Had Already Disappeared for a Long Time (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At the same time, Pei Jiao was already in the hospital. However, after confirming that she was pregnant and that there were signs of a precursor abortion, she did not immediately decide to undergo an abortion. She folded her arms and walked slowly down the hospital corridor, saying, Its past the time of the drug flow. Theres going to be surgery but Im afraid of the pain. Ive never had surgery before Qin Zhuoning, who had been accompanying her, comforted her. This surgery is harmful to the body. If you cant bear to part with it, dont do it. I acknowledge this child. Its not that I cant bear to, its just fear Pei Jiao immediately denied it. She shook her head at Qin Zhuoning. Besides, this is my own fault. Why do you have to get involved? It has nothing to do with you. She pretended to sound relaxed, as if she did not understand what Qin Zhuoning meant. Qin Zhuoning placed his hand on Pei Jiaos shoulder. Jiaojiao. Pei Jiao lowered her eyes, her black eyelashes trembling slightly. She did not dare to look at Qin Zhuoning again. A nurse passed by the corridor. Qin Zhuoning pulled Pei Jiao aside and said to her, This isnt meddling. I want to take responsibility. Pei Jiao smiled bitterly when she heard this. She pried away Qin Zhuonings hand on her shoulder. Brother Zhuoning, what nonsense are you talking about? This child isnt yours. Why are you taking responsibility? Pei Jiao! Qin Zhuoning suddenly called her by her full name, his voice slightly low. The nurse who passed by turned to look at the two of them, then reminded them kindly, 1Keep your voice down in the hospital. Qin Zhuoning said to the nurse, Sorry. He did not say anything else. Instead, he pulled Pei Jiao out of the hospital. After returning to the car, he continued the topic. However, just as he finished speaking, Pei Jiao interrupted him. Brother Zhuoning, I know how you feel. Qin Zhuoning was stunned. Looking at Pei Jiaos current attitude, what he wanted to say turned into helplessness. Jiaojiao Pei Jiao was a little tired. She pressed her temples to ease the soreness. Drive me home. In the end, Qin Zhuoning did not tell her his feelings. He knew that she wouldnt want to hear it even if he said it. It would only add to her troubles. Just as he was about to drive, a black car drove past in front of Qin Zhuonings car. Soon, the door opened and Wen Qiong got out. Qin Zhuoning recognized the car. It was Wen Ye, so he naturally recognized the woman who got out of the car. It was Wen Yes sister, Wen Qiong. Judging from Wen Qiongs anxious manner, she must be looking for Pei Jiao. Jiaojiao, Qin Zhuoning called her softly. Pei Jiao lowered her hand and looked at Qin Zhuoning. Huh? Qin Zhuoning gestured for her to look out of the car window. She should be looking for you. Pei Jiao glanced sideways and saw Wen Qiong standing outside the car. Without hesitation, she pushed open the car door and got out. Wen Qiong, Pei Jiao shouted. At this moment, Wen Qiong could no longer care about her usual image. She walked forward and grabbed Pei Jiaos arm. She sized up her entire body and asked, Is it gone? Pei Jiaos reaction was not slow. She guessed that Wen Qiong must know about her pregnancy and that she might have a miscarriage when she came to the hospital. Wen Ye had introduced the old Chinese doctor. It did not seem strange for Wen Qiong to know, but she was a little surprised that Wen Qiong knew so quickly. Is it really gone? Wen Qiong asked nervously again. Pei Jiao nodded her head. Wen Qiong sighed. What a pity. Pei Jiao said, Whats there to pity? Were not the same kind of people. You cant wait to draw a line with Wei Yu. Wei Yu cant bear to leave you. Theres no sign of him now. I dont know when hell come back. After saying that, Wen Qiong sighed and urged Pei Jiao, Hurry up and get into the car. Dont get cold. Youre very weak now. Wen Qiong thought that Pei Jiao had already undergone an abortion. This abortion was equivalent to minor confinement, so she had to pay more attention. However, Pei Jiao did not enter the car. She suddenly grabbed Wen Qiongs hand and asked, You just said that you dont know where Wei Yu went? Wen Qiong was stunned. It seems that you dont know? l Pei Jiao shook her head, then was stunned. How could that be? Didnt he return to the base? He did not go back to the base. Wei Yu has disappeared for a long time. The entire Wei family is hiding it now, Wen Qiong said with a sigh.. Chapter 722 - Chapter 722: Let Wei Yu Know (1) Chapter 722: Let Wei Yu Know (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations A few minutes later, Pei Jiao returned to the car. Qin Zhuoning could tell that her expression was not right. He guessed that Wen Qiong had probably said something about Wei Yu when she came to look for Pei Jiao. He was not sure what she had said, but it was definitely not something good. After Wen Ye drove away, Qin Zhuoning asked her, Is it related to Wei Yu? Pei Jiaos thoughts were in a daze, and she did not hear Qin Zhuoning for the first time. It was only when he reached over and patted her shoulder that she barely came back to her senses. She looked at him in confusion. What? Qin Zhuoning felt extremely uncomfortable. Is there news of Wei Yu? Pei Jiao shook her head and said vaguely, Im not sure. Qin Zhuoning took in Pei Jiaos reaction. Wen Qiong must have been looking for you to tell you about Wei Yu. Pei Jiao lowered her eyes. l dont know. Dont ask me. Qin Zhuoning could not tell what Pei Jiao was thinking. He could only guess from Pei Jiaos reaction. Either Wen Qiong was also here to ask Pei Jiao about Wei Yu, so Pei Jiao did not know anything now, or Wei Yu was fine now and Pei Jiao knew, so she was indifferent. He rather hoped it would be the latter. It would be best if Wei Yu was safe and sound now. The two of them would draw the line between them from now on. As for that child Qin Zhuonings gaze landed on Pei Jiaos abdomen. Pei Jiao sensed his gaze and instinctively raised her hand to cover her abdomen. Qin Zhuoning lowered his eyes sadly and placed his hand on the steering wheel. Ill take you home first. Im not going home yet, Pei Jiao suddenly said. l want to go to Beikes. Qin Zhuoning replied imperceptibly, Isnt Beike not back yet? He is. Pei Jiao looked out of the car window. He returned the day before yesterday. Qin Zhuoning vaguely knew why Pei Jiao was looking for Beike at this time. Coincidentally, Wen Qiong had come over. So shes looking for Beike about Wei Yu. Out of selfishness, Qin Zhuoning persuaded her, Have you forgotten what the doctor told you not long ago? You have signs of a miscarriage. You cant run around. Its best to lie in bed and rest. Pei Jiao knew whether he reminded her or not because her lower abdomen still hurt. l wont wander off. She forced a smile. Qin Zhuoning couldnt do anything to her. He thought to himself, Forget it, let her be. Half an hour later, Pei Jiao arrived at Beikes residence. Qin Zhuoning wanted to send Pei Jiao in, but Pei Jiao rejected him. No need. I come here often. 1 can go by myself. Ive dampened your spirits today. Ill definitely make it up to you next time. Qin Zhuoning didnt like to hear her polite words. They were so distant that they couldnt even be considered friends. Dont say this in the future. Qin Zhuoning watched her leave. Ill smoke here for a while before leaving. Go in first. As he spoke, he took out his cigarette box. Pei Jiaos gaze lingered on the cigarette box in his hand for a moment before she turned around and went in. As Pei Jiaos figure disappeared at the entrance, Qin Zhuonings car did not leave for a long time. His thin arm resting on the window sill, a cigarette between his fingertips. He did not smoke it until it burned out. Pei Jiao knew the password to Beikes house. She knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it. She entered the password and entered it. Stepping into the entryway, she bumped into Beike, who had come late to open the door. Compared to Pei Jiao, who looked too pale because of her discomfort, Beike looked like he was terminally ill. Dark circles under his eyes, his lips bloodless, and he was quite dispirited. Seeing him like this, Pei Jiao had the illusion that she had entered the wrong door. Beike? Pei Jiao called his name uncertainly. Beike looked at Pei Jiao steadily for a long time, then turned around and walked towards the fridge. Why is it you? I thought there was a thief. Pei Jiao endured the discomfort and walked in. She teased him in her usual tone, So youre disappointed not to see the thief? Beike opened the fridge and took two bottles of soda. He turned around and threw one to Pei Jiao. Ive already rushed out to fight the thief, then I saw that it was you. Tsk, what a disappointment. The soda taken out of the fridge was too cold. Pei Jiao quickly placed it on the bar beside her. With your weak body, are you sure you wont black out as soon as you raise your hand? The two of them were not inferior to each other. Beike unscrewed the cap of the soda bottle and gulped down most of it. The cold soda made him feel better. He raised his hand to smooth the messy hair that had fallen across his forehead, revealing his smooth forehead. This way, he looked even more energetic. At least, he was not as dispirited as before. Miss, why are you here? He turned to the sofa and avoided Pei Jiaos gaze, not daring to look at her directly.. Chapter 723 - Chapter 723: Let Wei Yu Know (2) Chapter 723: Let Wei Yu Know (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao also noticed. She walked to Beikes side and sat down. They were clearly not close, but Beike moved away as if he had bounced back and kept a distance from her. She had never seen him like this before. Pei Jiao felt that he had something on his mind. It was fine if he did not dare to look her in the eye. When he saw her open the door and enter just now, what did his expression mean? Guilty? She pursed her lips. Must something happen before I come to you? I used to come here a lot. Beike thought for a few seconds, but he turned his head away from her. You should come less in the future. Its hard to explain why a man and a woman are alone. His reason was irrefutable. Pei Jiao laughed in anger. Do you have a guilty conscience? Beike smiled at Pei Jiao. Not at all. My heart is clear and honest. Is that so! Pei Jiao changed the topic extremely abruptly and asked him directly, Do you know where Wei Yu is? Beike was still smiling, but his smile was faint. Coupled with his unfathomable expression, no one could see through him. Pei Jiao felt that he had a lot on his mind. Sometimes dispirited, sometimes energetic, as if they were one person and two personalities taking turns to stand guard. Seeing that he was smiling but not answering, Pei Jiao suddenly stood up. Beike thought that she was angry from embarrassment and was about to slam the door and leave. He was not prepared to politely keep her. Unexpectedly, she stood up to walk to him and grab his collar to question him. Wheres Wei Yu? Beike froze for a moment, then laughed out loud. His black eyes were clear, but the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. He slowly raised his hand and pressed it against the back of hers. How would I know where Wei Yu is? he replied softly. Youre asking the wrong person. Pei Jiaos grip on his collar slowly tightened, but this strength was nothing to Beike. Pei Jiao endured the discomfort in her abdomen and continued to interrogate Beike. l want to know Wei Yu l s whereabouts. You must know. You think too highly of me. How can I be sure? Beike looked up at her expression and thought it was. Are you very worried about him? Pei Jiao wanted an answer to reassure her. It would seem meaningless to explain, so she followed Beikes answer. Yes, Im worried about him. The smile on Beikes lips froze for a few seconds. Youve been waiting for news of his return to the Wei family every day for more than a month, right? Pei Jiao said, Yes. Suddenly, she heard Beike sigh. The frozen smile on his lips spread again, but it was mostly bitter. l went to see him. Pei Jiao frowned. Where? Beike told the truth. In Xingzhou, in a sealed laboratory, there are people from Beiyang guarding it heavily. They locked Wei Yu inside to do experiments for them. Theres no end to it. Pei Jiao frowned slightly and thought to herself that Wei Yu really did not leave that day. Beike closed his eyes, his expression forbearing. Wei Yu is like a walking corpse there. If this continues, he probably wont live long. Hearing that Wei Yu might not live long, Pei Jiaos heart ached. They abused wei Yu? t! Theres no abuse. Beiyang needs someone like Wei Yu very much. He will be treated well. Then why Pei Jiaos eyes stung. She wanted to ask why he still didnt have long to live despite such good treatment. Beike explained, Because Wei Yu knew that he wouldnt be able to come back. He would rather die of exhaustion there than be locked up by Beiyang for the rest of his life. Now, Beiyang cant do anything to him. He can only squeeze him dry in his last moments. So that day Pei Jiaos voice became hoarse. Wei Yu was the one who swapped me back that day? Beike admitted, Yes. This trouble was caused by Beike. That day, he had not agreed to Wei Yu replacing Pei Jiao. He had caused this trouble himself, so he was naturally prepared to end it himself. However, Wei Yu knew that if he was taken away by Beiyang, he would be half dead even if he did not die. He made a deal with him and asked him to bring Pei Jiao back first. Then, he would think of a way to save him from Beiyang. Beikes expression was pained as he blamed himself. l was anxious to save you back then and was confused. I thought that I could really save Wei Yu by myself, but I overestimated my strength. In the past month or so, Ive used countless methods but I couldnt bring Wei Yu out. I only saw him once and was almost caught. At this point, Beikes guilt intensified. l regret it. I contacted Beiyang and used myself to exchange for Wei Yu. Although Beiyang wants me dead, he has a sense of choice. As long as Wei Yu is the most useful to him now, I cant bring him back. Pei Jiao let go of Beikes collar. She staggered back half a step, her expression looking even more pained than before. At first, Beike thought that Pei Jiao was worried about Wei Yu. She looked worried about him, but looking at it now, it didnt seem to be what he thought. Beike suddenly stood up and held Pei Jiaos arm and back. Are you feeling unwell? Pei Jiao took a deep breath, trying to ease the pain. Help me sit down. No. You seem to be in a lot of pain. Is it your stomach? Ill take you to the hospital first. Wait! Pei Jiao pressed down on Beikes arm. l know my situation. I just need to rest. Beike could not dissuade Pei Jiao. He helped her sit down and went to get her a cup of hot water. At this moment, Pei Jiaos face was exceptionally pale and she looked haggard and weak. Beike was worried and asked all sorts of questions. Pei Jiao did not tell him the reason and only asked him, Is Wei Yu really not coming back? Beikes expression was very ugly. Its very difficult anyway. Pei Jiao asked, What if I get my brother to step in? Beikes words were very realistic. Every emperor has a minister. A strong dragon cant suppress a local snake. Dont you see how far Xingzhou is from the capital? Pei Jingzhou is famous in the capital. Everyone gives him face, but in Xingzhou, we still have to follow the rules. Beikes words reminded Pei Jiao. Yeah, that was in Xingzhou. So, he will really die there, right? Pei Jiaos eyes became empty. Beike did not want to lie to Pei Jiao. The situation is already very bad. He cant come out, and he doesnt want to live there. Can you do me a favor? Pei Jiao suddenly straightened up and grabbed Beikes arm excitedly. Beike guessed, You want me to take you to see Wei Yu? Pei Jiao, to tell you the truth, this is unrealistic. Its very difficult for me to see him. No, Im not going to see him. Pei Jiao quickly calmed down. She folded the test result from today and handed it to Beike. Help me take this piece of paper to Wei Yu and ask him to wait. Beike took the piece of paper and asked, What is this? Pei Jiao said, Just help me bring it to him. If he really cared about her, he should be able to hold on until the day she saved him after seeing this pregnancy test result.. Chapter 724 - Chapter 724: Looking For Father With Her Child Chapter 724: Looking For Father With Her Child Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Beike put away the piece of paper and promised Pei Jiao, Ill try my best to send it to him. Dont try. You have to! Pei Jiao knew that she was being unreasonable, but she couldnt care less now. Pei Jiao Beike really did not dare to make any promises. Although saying some words could comfort Pei Jiao, he could not bear the consequences. He did not want to see her hold on to hope but be disappointed in the end. Pei Jiao could tell that Beike was worried. Okay, I wont say anymore. But can you go back to Xingzhou and give this to him as soon as possible? Im afraid he wont be able to hold on. Wei Yu was so stubborn. Once he didnt want to live anymore, no one could save him. With his high-intensity work, the probability of sudden death is indeed very high. Beikes expression was solemn. Ill go back today, but I have to send you back to the Pei family first, or to the hospital. Beike was still worried about her health. Previously, she had always been lively and energetic. Other than the day she was picked up from the base and looked a little disheveled, he had not seen her so weak since. Beike prioritized her health, but Pei Jiao did not care. When she arrived downstairs, she realized that Qin Zhuonings car had yet to leave. Pei Jiao was not surprised. She turned to Beike, who had sent her down, and said, Ill go back to the Pei residence first. Send me a message when you reach Xingzhou. Also, contact me after you give it to him. l know. Beike looked up at the car parked not far away. He sent you here. Pei Jiao nodded. At this moment, the car door opened, and Qin Zhuoning got out and walked towards Pei Jiao. Beike did not want to face Qin Zhuoning head-on, so she said to Pei Jiao, Ill go in first. Pei Jiao suddenly thought, Please l know. Beike gave her a reassuring look. Pei Jiao was still worried and finished her sentence. Please, you must hand it to him. After knowing each other for so many years, do you think I dont trust you? Although Beike was teasing, it was actually more like self-deprecation. Pei Jiao shook her head. No, Im afraid that something will happen. Im afraid that he wont be able to wait. That Im afraid he wont be able to wait inadvertently revealed Pei Jiaos true feelings. Beike also understood that this woman in front of him, who said that she didnt care and didnt mean it, had secretly taken another man to heart at some point. Except shed never admit it. She even thought that she could hide it in her heart for the rest of her life so that no one would know. But something had happened to that man. She couldnt even be bothered to hide the unknown concern in her heart now. l promise you this time. Beike gave her a reassuring look again. It will definitely be delivered to him. With his assurance, Pei Jiao finally felt a little more at ease. Qin Zhuoning walked to Pei Jiaos side and took off his jacket to put it on her. Lets go. Pei Jiao looked down at the coat and wanted to take it off and return it to him, but Qin Zhuoning held her hand. Its cool in the afternoon. Be careful not to catch a cold. Pei Jiao thought that there was a small bean sprout in her stomach, so she did not refuse anymore and turned to return to the car. In the next few days, Pei Jiao waited for news of Beike every day. Compared to that month, for the first time, she felt that every day felt like a year. Qin Zhuoning was currently helping her hide her pregnancy, but she knew very well that she could not hide it for long, especially since her mother had already suspected that she was taking pregnancy medicine recently. On the sixth day, the uneasy Pei Jiao finally received a call from Beike. On the phone, Beike told her, Ive handed over the thing you asked me to give to Wei Yu. Pei Jiao was unprecedentedly excited. How is he now? Its not very good, Beike said honestly. Pei Jiaos excited heart sank, and her voice became a little lower. Is that so But dont worry. No matter how bad it is, at least Wei Yus condition will stabilize for a while. The thing you asked me to give him is better than a miracle pill. After he saw it, at least he wont look like hes dying. Beike told Pei Jiao everything she had seen when she went to see Wei Yu to reassure her. Also, I have better news for you. Theres hope of picking Wei Yu up. Now, theres a big shot in Xingzhou whos willing to help us. Beike told Pei Jiao this good news. Pei Jiao still did not know the situation. She was surprised and a little confused. A big shot from Xingzhou? Who is it? Beike spoke more vaguely. It was Mr. and Mrs. Pei who pulled the strings. That person expressed his willingness to use someone to appear. Pei Jiao was worried. Is it possible? Before the matter is settled, no one can guarantee anything, but if the other party is willing to help, the chances of winning will be higher. Beikes tone lowered a little. Youve stayed in Xingzhou before, so you should know about the Bai family and the Qiao family. Wait patiently for my news first. Im hanging up. With that, Beike hung up. Pei Jiao held her cell phone in a daze. She was both surprised and worried. Xingzhou, Xingzhou, Xingzhou Beike asked her to wait patiently, but after thinking about it, she felt that she had to go personally. After making up her mind, Pei Jiao booked a flight to Xingzhou tonight on her phone. She had always been willful. This trip was the same. She hid it from everyone in the family. She did not bring any luggage or daily necessities. She only had a child in her stomach and successfully landed at Xingzhou International Airport at one in the morning.. Chapter 725 - Chapter 725: Don’t You Dare Touch Her! Chapter 725: Dont You Dare Touch Her! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Beiyang received a report from his subordinate that Wei Yus condition had improved since the day before yesterday. His condition has improved Beiyang pushed the experimental data in front of him away and took the metal box. He took out a cigar and held it between his fingers. Ever since I brought him to Xingzhou, he has been acting like hes on the verge of death every day. Even if I kill him immediately, he wont resist. Who has come into contact with him recently? Martin took out his lighter. There was a click, and the ghostly blue flame gathered. The defense system has indeed been acting strangely for the past two days. My stupid brother is here? Beiyang bit the cigar between his teeth. The cigar was lit, and a strong smell of truffles quickly filled the air. It was mixed with the smell of coffee and nuts, smoothing every nerve. Martin put away his lighter. Boss, were investigating now. Were not sure if the second young master did it yet. Trash, it happened the day before yesterday, and yet youre still investigating it. Beiyang sneered. Other than my stupid brother, who else has his ability?! Martin quickly added, Second Young Master has been so arrogant recently. Do you want me to send someone to teach him a lesson? Beiyangs eyes suddenly turned cold and he was furious. Dont think too highly of yourself. Martin quickly lowered his head. Yes, boss. Beiyang took a deep puff of the cigar. His chest swelled and he couldnt vent his anger. The rich coffee and nuts melted into a bitter taste in his mouth. He waved his hand and pulled out the cigar between his lips and crushed it in the ashtray. As he got up, Martin immediately took his jacket and draped it over Bei Yangs shoulders. Boss, are you going to? Beiyang gathered his jacket. Im going to meet Dr. Wei and sound him out. Boss, do you think theres a trap too? Martin followed Beiyangs footsteps. Beiyang walked like a shooting star. No matter how much you threaten and bribe him, its useless. Why did he suddenly understand now? Could it be that my stupid brother find a way to save him? Martin threatened, No, Boss. The laboratory is heavily guarded. There are mercenaries inside and outside, and the external defense system is a world-class top equipment. Even if Second Young Master brings people here, its impossible to save Dr. Wei. Beiyang looked unhappy. You underestimate my stupid brother. He can even enter the base. How long do you think you can stop him here? Martin didnt think Second Young Master was very powerful. If not for the fact that the boss did not allow them to kill him every time, the second young master would not have existed in the Bei family! Brothers quarrel, was there? No! The boss had clearly been thinking about their brotherhood. Inside the laboratory under the high-tech glass, four armed guards stood outside each floor door. From facial recognition to the last level, the retina recognition was unlocked and they officially entered the laboratory core. Below the experiment cabin, Wei Yu was wearing a white coat and goggles. Sometimes, he looked up, sometimes he lowered his head, and focused on recording the changes in the data in front of him. After being locked in this laboratory for more than a month, his skin that had not been exposed was so pale that it was almost transparent. Coupled with the high-intensity work and long-term tense nerves, he looked much thinner. The green veins on the back of his hand were a little shocking. At this moment, he was focused on his work He exuded a coldness that kept people at bay. Unless it was necessary, very few people in the laboratory approached him and talked to him. Hearing footsteps approaching behind him, Wei Yu stopped writing. Before he turned around, he heard Beiyangs voice Dr. Wei! Upon hearing Beiyangs voice, Wei Yu lowered his head and continued taking notes, ignoring the person behind him. Martin was extremely unused to Wei Yus arrogant attitude. Even if he had the right to be arrogant, he should learn to restrain himself in front of his boss. Martin was about to step forward when Beiyang raised his hand to block him. This is none of your business. Wait by the side. Martin nodded, and had to step aside and stare first. Beiyang circled around Wei Yu. Dr. Wei, youre in a good mood today. Wei Yu did not look at Bei Yang from the beginning to the end. His tone was cold. Shouldnt you be happy that Im in a good mood? Happy? Why do you say that? Beiyang crossed his arms and looked at Wei Yu with interest. Wei Yu stopped writing. It can provide you with more efficient work returns. Beiyang nodded. Thats true, but if you give me the reward of efficient work, wont you consider it again and devote yourself to serving me? Sure, Wei Yu suddenly said. Beiyang sneered. Since Dr. Wei is so straightforward, it seems that something must have happened that made you very happy. Let me guess Wei Yu took off his goggles and placed them aside. He turned to Beiyang and said, Theres no point in guessing. Not necessarily. Beiyang smiled meaningfully. Did my stupid brother think of a way to save you? Wei Yu remained silent. Beiyang said, Dr. Wei, do you think I dont know about my stupid brother contacting you recently? Perhaps he even came to the laboratory and was just lucky enough to slip away. Wei Yu remained expressionless. No matter what Beiyang said, he would not fall for it. Its fine if you dont say it. Beiyang was not angry. He was patient. l think just saving you wont make you feel better. Who is it because of? Let me think Oh right, that Miss Pei, right? The moment he finished speaking, Beiyang clearly saw a change in Wei Yus eyes. I was right. Beiyang smiled proudly. It seems that Dr. Wei is the same as my brother. Theyre both big lovers. Wei Yus voice was indifferent. It doesnt matter what you say. With that, Wei Yu turned around and left the experiment module to go to the experiment pool. One of his subordinates rushed over and whispered something to Martin. Martins expression changed. He immediately walked to Beiyangs side and reported in a medium voice, Boss, our people saw Miss Pei at the international airport. Wei Yu, who was walking towards the experiment pool, suddenly stopped. Beiyang noticed this and the smile on his lips deepened. Which Miss Pei? Martin said, The one who has a lot of contact with Second Young Master. We kidnapped her last time to exchange for that document from Second Young Master. Oh? Its actually her. Beiyang raised his voice. What kind of wind is this? It actually blew this Miss Pei to Xingzhou.! Martin asked, Why dont we grab her, boss? Dont you dare touch her! A cold voice sounded with penetrating anger. Beiyang looked up at Wei Yu. Although he had seen countless storms, he was still stunned by Wei Yus cold gaze for a few seconds.. He had no doubt that if he dared to say that he would mobilize Pei Jiao, Wei Yu would go crazy and die with him immediately! Chapter 726 - Chapter 726: Life Is Expensive Chapter 726: Life Is Expensive Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Dr. Wei, dont be angry. Of course, Beiyang would not fall out with Wei Yu immediately because of Pei Jiao. In addition, after interacting with him for this period of time, he had some understanding of Wei Yu. Others would rather have a bad life than a good death. But he would rather die early than live. Wei Yus anger did not subside. He warned Beiyang coldly, Dont touch her! How could I touch her? Beiyang immediately played the role of a good cop and scolded Martin. What do you mean by whether we can catch her or not? Do you know how to speak? Dr. Wei is our guest. Of course, we have to treat Dr. Weis sweetheart with respect. Martin was in charge of playing the bad cop. Boss, I think capturing that Miss Pei can make Dr. Wei serve you wholeheartedly. Wei Yu looked at Martin like a meat grinder and wished he could grind him to pieces on the spot. Martin cowered and continued to give bad ideas. Im sure Dr. Wei would like to meet the sweetheart hes been thinking about day and night! Its just nice to accompany him. As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yu suddenly walked over. Martin faced him head-on, but Beiyang pretended to stop him. The effect had been achieved, and this show should stop. In the end, he was caught off guard and took a punch from Wei Yu. The commotion was so big that his coat fell off. Martin quickly picked it up and draped the coat back over Beiyangs shoulders. Boss, hes too arrogant. Beiyang raised his hand to signal Martin to shut up. He looked at Wei Yu. Dr. Wei, what do you mean? Martin, who was standing at the side, couldnt help but sigh. The boss was too polite. He had been beaten up, but he didnt forget to call him Dr. Wei. Wei Yu glanced at Martin, who was standing behind Beiyang. His cold eyes were filled with killing intent. You were the one who stood in front of him. Beiyang was extremely unhappy. The tip of his tongue nudged his numb cheek. Youre still so arrogant under my nose, Dr. Wei. It seems that you know your value now. Wei Yu said indifferently, Sorry, life is precious. Beiyang choked and instantly laughed in anger. Dr. Wei has something I cant use up. Now that you mention it, I have no reason to refute. Wei Yus eyes were cold as he warned him again, Dont touch her. Beiyang did not mind Wei Yus punch. Before he left, he did not forget to instruct Martin, Send someone to follow Miss Pei and escort her to the hotel shes staying at. Dont let her be kidnapped by some blind person in my territory. Ill be more sincere so that Dr. Wei can rest assured. Martin agreed quickly. Yes. When Beiyang turned around, Martin was about to follow when Wei Yu stopped him. Wait. Beiyang and Martin turned around at the same time. Martin could tell from Wei Yus gaze that it should be him, so he pointed at himself and asked, Nie? Wei Yus eyes were indifferent. Yes. Martin quickly looked at Beiyang. Boss! Beiyang glanced at Martin. Why are you looking at me? Are you still afraid of him? Have you forgotten that youre a top international mercenary? Ten of him wont be a match for you. This was not an exaggeration. In terms of skills, Wei Yu was naturally no match for Martin. Martin was a top international mercenary that had been selected layer by layer. Not many people could defeat him. Martin nodded. Thats true! What he wouldnt admit was that he had indeed been a little flustered when Wei Yu stopped him. After Bei Yang left, Wei Yu slowly walked up to Martin. The invisible pressure made Martin want to escape, but he knew that if he really escaped, he would not be able to survive in the future. Dr. Wei, what else do you have to say? Martin asked, stiffening his neck. Wei Yu narrowed his narrow eyes, his expression dangerous. Martin swallowed. He knew that he couldnt hit him, or his boss would be angry, but he was afraid that Wei Yu would take it out on him, so he said, Dr. Wei, you cant hit me after you hit my boss. Wei Yu said word by word, Dont touch her. This was the third time! He was very persistent! Martin immediately said, The boss has already promised you that he wont touch Miss Pei. The more suspicious you are, the more you will anger the boss. Perhaps he will go back on his word. Tell him that if he dares to go back on his word, Ill burn this entire laboratory. Wei Yu left this sentence there. Martin shuddered at that. He had no doubt that when this lunatic went crazy, he would do anything. Especially since the boss valued this laboratory very much. It contained all the bosss blood, sweat, and tears. If it was really destroyed by this lunatic, it would be the end of the world. At this moment, Pei Jiao had already checked into the hotel. She did not know where the laboratory where Wei Yu was locked up, let alone where the people from Beiyang were entrenched. She could only settle down first before contacting Beike. When Beike found out that she had returned to Xingzhou, he was so angry that he raced all the way here, afraid that Pei Jiao would be captured if he was a step too late. When he arrived at the hotel and saw that she was sitting there perfectly fine and had even ordered a bunch of nutritious food to enjoy, more than half of Beikes anger dissipated. However, when he thought about how he had seen Beiyangs subordinates downstairs, Beikes expression turned especially ugly. I told you to stay in the Pei residence and wait for news. Why are you so willful and insist on coming to Xingzhou? Do you know that youve been targeted by Beiyangs people? Pei Jiao was holding a halal chicken drumstick. She took a bite and ate it deliciously. As she ate, she said, l know. There was a car following me all the way from the airport to the hotel. Then why didnt you contact me earlier? If it was like last time, they would have just kidnapped you. No one would have known if you died here. Beike was too angry and didnt have any scruples when he spoke. Pei Jiao knew that Beike would be angry, so she did not reason with him. Im fine, arent l? She didnt argue, which rendered him speechless. Beike looked at the plate. It should be more than half a halal chicken. Now, only the skeleton and the drumstick in her hand were left. She had also eaten a lot of other food. He frowned and asked, Why did you eat so much? Pei Jiao took a big bite of the drumstick. Because there are two people eating now.. Chapter 727 - Chapter 727: Come and Pick Him Up (1) Chapter 727: Come and Pick Him Up (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Two people eating? Beike did not think in that direction at all. Your soul? Pei Jiao rolled her eyes at Beike. Dont speak if you dont know how to speak. Then why are there two people eating? The confused Beike was still spouting nonsense. Could it be that something happened in this hotel suite? Who elses vengeful spirit is lingering here? Pei Jiao almost couldnt help but throw the remaining chicken bones at Beike. If you talk nonsense again, Ill feed you mute medicine. Beike thought that before he even started to fly into a rage, she was already in the right. He walked forward and was about to say a few good words to her about the trip to Xingzhou. However, before he could speak, he heard Pei Jiao say coldly, Im pregnant. Beike was stunned for a moment, as if he had not heard clearly. What? Pei Jiao wiped her mouth with a tissue, then wiped her hands. Then, she slowly moved her hand to her abdomen and looked up at Beike. She repeated seriously, Im pregnant! As Pei Jiao finished speaking, the suite was almost dead silent. Pei Jiao saw that Beike was standing there motionless, as if his acupoints had been pressed. She couldnt help but laugh. Are you very surprised? Beike barely came back to his senses. Whose? Pei Jiao stood up. Its not yours anyway. She walked towards the French windows, planning to open the curtains a little. When she was done pulling the left side to the right, she was suddenly blocked by Beike. She asked, Why are you standing here? Beike asked her with a serious expression, Is it Wei Yus? Pei Jiao was very calm about this topic. Who else could it be? From your tone, you seem to be looking forward to you and his child. Beikes gaze moved down and stopped on Pei Jiaos abdomen. Her eyes were dark and cold. Pei Jiao raised her hand to cover her abdomen and also blocked Beikes line of sight. Youre not allowed to have any ideas about my son. Yo! Youre already protecting your child! Beike sneered. Also, how long has it been? You even know its gender? Pei Jiao endured Beikes sarcasm. I have a feeling its a son. With that, she pulled back the curtains on the other side as well. The entire suite was suddenly brighter. She stretched her arms and yawned sleepily. At first glance, it was still about two hours before dark. Standing here and looking into the distance, the prosperity of Xingzhou was not inferior to the capital. The rows of tall buildings were too much to take in. It had been a long time since she had come to admire the prosperity in such a calm mood. Beike walked to Pei Jiaos side and stood beside her in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Im sorry, my tone wasnt very good just now. Pei Jiao was magnanimous. l forgive you. Beike suddenly said, l didnt look at the piece of paper you asked me to give Wei Yu. Pei Jiao knew very well. l know you didnt look. Otherwise, you wouldnt have been so surprised just now. Beike smiled bitterly. Weve known each other for so long. You know that Im a very disobedient person, right? If it were in the past, it would be impossible for me not to read it. Only last time, I followed the rules and never looked at what was on that piece of paper once. What would happen if you saw it? Pei Jiao turned to ask him. Beike also looked at Pei Jiao and did not hide his selfishness. Its very likely that I will intercept it. Wei Yu wont be able to see it. He thought that revealing his selfishness would make Pei Jiao angry. However, Pei Jiao only smiled faintly. Whether you intercept it or not, I will come to Xingzhou to pick him up. This time, Beike was truly speechless. He sighed and turned to leave. When he was almost at the door, he turned back and reminded Pei Jiao, Stay in the hotel tonight. Dont go anywhere. Pei Jiao turned to look at him. The operation is tonight? Beike nodded slightly. Yes, so you should eat and sleep.. As long as nothing goes wrong, I guarantee that you will see him when you wake up tomorrow morning! Chapter 728 - Chapter 728: All the Past Is Prologue (1) Chapter 728: All the Past Is Prologue (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao did not respond and looked at Beike silently for a long time. The frown is so deep. Are you worried that I wont be able to keep my promise to bring him back to you, or dont you trust me to do what I say? It was an interrogative tone, as well as a self-mockery. Pei Jiao shook her head. Im not worried or distrustful. I want to go. Beike was about to say something when Pei Jiao interrupted him. l know you wont agree. You think that Ill cause trouble if I go, but when you leave, Ill only make you worse if I follow you secretly. Beike laughed angrily. So youre considering my feelings? Yes. Pei Jiao nodded. Will you take me? Beike shook his head. No. Pei Jiao turned around. Then forget it. You said forget it, but once I leave, youll think of all sorts of ways to follow. Pei Jiao, oh Pei Jiao, I really owe you in my previous life. Pei Jiao said frankly, You owe me. Beike did not deny it. Yes, he was the one who caused all the trouble. Not only did he implicate Pei Jiao, but he also implicated Wei Yu. He implicated too many people. In the end, Beike still accommodated Pei Jiao. l used to spoil you too much. This time, I wont accommodate you. Who knows how youll nag me in the future? I dont want to have calluses on my ears at such a young age. Pei Jiao immediately turned around and the smile on her face widened. Really? Beike forcefully swallowed the words when have I ever lied?. Forget it, he still lied. But even if it wasnt easy to lie this time, he still had to lie to him. He couldnt let her take the risk with him. Beike specially mentioned, l only guarantee your safety. I cant guarantee anything else. As he said this, Beike glanced at Pei Jiaos stomach, his intentions clear. Pei Jiao did not expect him to be very magnanimous to the little guy in her stomach. l just want to see you bring Wei Yu back with my own eyes. I wont cause you trouble, including this in my stomach. Beike smirked. Ill pick you up at eight sharp. Have a good rest first. Alright. Pei Jiao watched Beike leave until the door closed. She smiled in relief. The wind in Xingzhou was strong tonight, so strong that at one point the citizens felt that it was going to rain tonight. It was almost eight in the evening. Pei Jiao, who was not sleeping well, was woken up by a call. She suddenly sat up, thinking that it was a call from Beike. She looked at her cell phone and realized that it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment before answering. Slowly, she pressed the phone to her ear and took deep breaths to steady her breathing. Hello. Pei Jiao, its me. A familiar voice came from the receiver, making Pei Jiao feel dazed. It had only been a month, but she felt that she had not heard his voice for a long time! She reached out and turned on the lamp. She looked at the clock under the lamp. It was ten minutes to eight. It was time for Beike to pick her up, but Wei Yu had actually contacted her at this time. Could it be that Beike had already brought Wei Yu out in advance? Just as Pei Jiao was puzzled and did not say anything for a long time, Wei Yus voice sounded again. Im back. Pei Jiao suddenly stood up. Youre back? Im back, Wei Yu repeated. There was no emotion in his voice. It was calm and emotionless, making one feel distant. However, Pei Jiao had known him for so long and knew very well that it was Wei Yus voice. She gripped her cell phone tightly and asked, Where are you? On the phone, Wei Yu said, Im outside your door. You can see me when you open the door. Pei Jiao frowned. Wei Yu t s tone on the phone sounded too strange, but she thought that he must be very depressed after being locked in the laboratory for so long. She maintained the call and slowly walked to the door. She looked out through the peephole and saw that Wei Yu was really standing outside the door! Pei Jiao opened the door and shouted in an urgent and uncertain tone, Wei Yu, is that you? Was it him? Was this person she had seen after more than a month really Wei Yu? Wei Yu, who had a wooden expression, smiled strangely at her when he saw her after the door opened. He slowly put away his cell phone and walked forward to hug Pei Jiao. l missed you so much. This hug was extremely sudden. Pei Jiao was stunned at first, but then she felt his hands tighten around her, almost pulling her into his arms. Pei Jiaos intuition told her that there was something wrong with the person in front of her. But the face in front of her happened to be Wei Yus face. Pei Jiao tried to push him away, but her current strength could not move him at all. She said with difficulty, Wei Yu, let go first. 1 have something to say to you.. Chapter 729 - Chapter 729: All the Past is Prologue (2) Chapter 729: All the Past is Prologue (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations As if he hadnt heard her, Wei Yu hugged her tightly and repeated, missed you so much. For the last time, Pei Jiao used all her strength to push the man who was hugging her away. However, in the next second, a sharp blade suddenly appeared in his hand. Silver light flashed from the sharp edge. Pei Jiao watched as Wei Yu shakily picked up the sharp blade and pointed it at her Wei Yu! Pei Jiao shouted. Wei Yu t s wooden expression paused. When his calm eyes looked at her, they gradually focused. But soon, the focus disappeared. He returned to his previous wooden appearance and pressed her step by step with a sharp blade in his hand. Pei Jiao had nowhere to retreat. She was forced into the room. Her hand groped behind her, trying to find a sharp weapon to defend herself. The closest thing to her was a vase. She picked it up without hesitation and prepared to defend herself, but at the critical moment, when Yu swung the sharp blade at her, she still chose to dodge and did not hit him with the vase. He was Wei Yue He was hypnotized. She couldnt hurt him. She did not know what had happened in the past few hours. She only knew that when she woke up and did not see Beike, she received a call from Wei Yu. When she went to open the door for Wei Yu happily, Wei Yu wanted to kill her. Wei Yu? Wake up. Wei Yu, can you hear me? Im Pei Jiao. Im Pei Jiao! Im ah . Her sentence stopped halfway forcefully as Wei Yu pressed her shoulder against the wall. Seeing that the blade in his hand was about to stab her, she closed her eyes helplessly. It seemed that she could not avoid it There was a chi. Pei Jiao frowned, but the pain she had expected did not come. She opened her eyes slowly. Wei Yus face was inches away. The expression on his face was no longer wooden. His eyes were filled with love. Wei Yu? Yeah. His voice broke. Is that you? Wei Yu? Pei Jiao called out in disbelief again and again. Youre awake? Do you know who 1 am? Wei Yu? l know, he said with difficulty. Pei Jiao, youre Pei Jiao. The fear on Pei Jiaos face dissipated, followed by joy. She wanted to hug him. Youre finally However, her outstretched hand missed. Wei Yu could not stand anymore. His body swayed and he knelt on the ground. Afraid that his body would press against hers, he even fell to the side. Pei Jiao looked down and saw some blood on her fingertips. When she looked down again, it was Wei Yus figure on the ground. Only then did she realize that he had only woken up after stabbing himself. His remaining consciousness made him rather hurt himself than hurt her at all. There were several drops of blood on the ground that were slowly gathering. They were all flowing from Wei Yu. Pei Jiao was at a loss. She squatted down and did not know where to touch him, afraid that she would accidentally hurt him a second time. Wei Yu She leaned over and called his name, Wei Yu looked like he was in pain. He held on to his gossamer breath to comfort him. Im fine. Im really fine. Dont cry. Pei Jiaos eyes turned red. What happened? Why did you become like that just Beike set fire to Beiyangs laboratory. In a fit of anger, Beiyang got someone to hypnotize me and send me back to find you. Beiyang was furious. He knew that Beike cared about Pei Jiao, so he was crazy enough to let Wei Yu kill Pei Jiao and make them turn against each other. At this point, Wei Yu had lingering fears. When he could not control his consciousness, he used the last of his shallow consciousness to injure himself before waking up. Hed almost hurt her. Thank God, thank God Pei Jiaos tears fell. Wei Yu was especially afraid of seeing her cry. He tried his best to cover the blood with his clothes and comforted her as he did so. Dont be afraid, dont be afraid. Ill cover it. Pei Jiaos tears were like broken pearls. You were afraid of hurting me, so you deliberately hurt yourself, right? Wei Yu blamed himself and apologized over and over again. Im sorry. 1 still scared you I couldnt control my behavior. Im sorry, Im sorry Pei Jiao cried and shook her head. Seeing that more and more blood was flowing out of his body, she remembered to call for help and quickly took out her phone to make a call. Her hands were trembling, and her breath was in a mess. Her eyes were so blurry from her tears that she couldnt see the screen clearly. By the time she wiped her tears, she didnt know which software she had tapped into the cell phone page. She backed out in a panic, dialed the emergency number, and gave the hotel address.. Chapter 730 - Chapter 730: All the Past is Prologue (3) Chapter 730: All the Past is Prologue (3) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After doing this, she finally calmed down. She leaned over to check the wounds on Wei Yu e s body. She was so frightened just now that she forgot that she also knew some basic first aid knowledge. When she reached out, Wei Yu grabbed her wrist to stop her. Pei Jiao hurriedly said, l want to stop the bleeding first. Her voice was shaking. Overwhelmed worry was making her panic. Wei Yus face was pale and his forehead was covered in layers of sweat. Even so, he ignored his own safety and did not let her touch him, afraid that he would scare her. Dont touch it. But this time, Pei Jiao did not allow him to refuse and forcefully checked the wounds on his body. His clothes were pulled open, and a shocking wound was at the edge of his left abdomen. Blood flowed out, as if there was no end to it. It was unknown if he had injured his vital points. Wei Yu, does it hurt very much! Wei Yu shook his head. It doesnt hurt. Youre still trying to be brave when your life is at stake. Let me tell you, Im a person with a heart of stone. I definitely wont feel sorry for you. Pei Jiao said ruthless words to divert his attention while simply treating his wound to prevent him from losing too much blood. Wei Yu felt happy to hear this. l finally met you. Dont talk so much, Pei Jiao reprimanded him. Wei Yu propped himself up on the ground and wanted to sit up. Pei Jiao was shocked and quickly stopped him, but she could not stop him at all. Wei Yu gritted his teeth and wanted to sit up and kiss her. He didnt care about anything else. He didnt care about the pain, the blood, or the sorry state he was in. He just wanted to kiss her. l think about you every day. Every day In the end, the lingering kiss stopped because Wei Yu was exhausted. Pei Jiaos lips were red. When she regained her senses, she was filled with regret and quickly stopped Wei Yus bleeding. Because of the episode just now, Pei Jiao suppressed all her doubts and curiosity. No matter how he had been hypnotized to kill her, how he had escaped from the laboratory, and how he had found the hotel, she did not want to know any of this for the time being. She only wanted him to be safe. At this moment, dense footsteps came from not far outside the door. Pei Jiao was seriously stopping the bleeding in Wei Yus abdomen. She was not affected by the footsteps and focused on finishing the last step. Wei Yu grabbed Pei Jiaos wrist. Hide. Pei Jiao ignored him and continued to stop the bleeding. Wei Yu wanted to get up, but his strength was exhausted. His eyes were red as he begged her in a low voice, Jiaojiao, please hide. Go hide quickly. Hide better. l wont. Im worried about your wound. Pei Jiao shook her head, her attitude firm. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: The ambulance will be here soon. Nothing must happen to Wei Yu! Those people were here. The door of the hotel was open. The person who came was Martin. When he walked in, he saw Wei Yu, who was covered in blood, lying on the ground. Pei Jiao was squatting in front of him to stop the bleeding. Martins eyes were fierce. Dr. Wei would rather hurt himself than hurt his sweetheart at all. Tsk, how lovely. Wei Yu tried to pull Pei Jiao away, but it was too late. Martin ordered, Take the two of them back together. Several subordinates behind him rushed forward. When Pei Jiao was pulled up, Wei Yu struggled crazily and roared, Dont touch her! Martin looked down at Wei Yu, who couldnt even take care of himself. The boss promised you that he wouldnt touch her, but you actually joined forces with Second Young Master to burn down the bosss laboratory. Its simply unforgivable!! Do you know how many years the boss has worked hard to build the laboratory? Bunch of idiots, now you have to pay the price for everything youve done! Wei Yu said, Ill pay this price. Let her go and Ill go back with you. You and Second Young Master wont be able to escape. Hes the mastermind this time. Dont worry, hell die even more miserably than you. With that, Martin raised his hand and gestured for his subordinates to take Wei Yu and Pei Jiao away. Wei Yu was injured and was still resisting stubbornly. Only Pei Jiao allowed those people to hold her up without struggling. Her heart was filled with the thought that Wei Yu was injured. Seeing that those people were using brute force against Wei Yu, Pei Jiaos expression turned ugly. She reminded them, Hes injured! Can you be careful? Blood dripped to the ground. It seemed that the bleeding had not stopped. Pei Jiao was very afraid that Wei Yu had lost too much blood. However, those people ignored her words and practically dragged Wei Yu away with brute force. Pei Jiao struggled free and rushed forward. Martin said, Separate them. The men obeyed Martins orders and forced the two men apart.. Chapter 731 - Chapter 731: All the Past Is Prologue (4) Chapter 731: All the Past Is Prologue (4) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Pei Jiao did not dare to hug Wei Yu i s arm too hard and was quickly separated by those people. Wei Yu was not in a good state and would faint at any moment. Just then, the siren of an ambulance sounded. One of the men walked over to Martin. Boss, its the ambulance. Martin glanced at the barely breathing wei Yu. If he brought him back like this, he would definitely die from excessive blood loss, and it would be difficult to report to his boss. However, with this Miss Pei around, he was not afraid that Wei Yu would run away in the future. Martin made a quick decision. Leave Dr. Wei with the ambulance and take her away. Pei Jiao felt relieved when she heard this decision. Fortunately, she didnt get wei Yu killed When Beikes men arrived, Wei Yu was already out of danger. The doctor had operated on him in the ambulance. Fortunately, his vitals had not been injured, but because he had lost too much blood and the wound was deep, he would have to walk less for nearly a week But Wei Yu was stubborn and refused to go to the hospital. Beike could only bring Wei Yu to his car and promise the doctor repeatedly before the doctor was willing to let him go. After all, this was a matter of life and death. In the doctors eyes, no one could joke about life. The SUV sped along the wide road. Wei Yu sat in the backseat with a pale face. He had just undergone surgery and could not move. He was in an extremely bad state. He asked Beike, Can you stop them? We can stop them! Beike replied with certainty. Even though hes constantly moving, we have so many people and the help of the Qiao family. Well definitely be able to stop them! He had already arranged for someone to stop the car that took Pei Jiao away. With the Qiao familys people mobilizing and his men flanking them from both sides, coupled with the fact that the fire in the laboratory had not been extinguished, Beiyang could not manage this side for the time being. But Beike would never have thought that Beiyang, who he thought could barely take care of himself, was not far behind his car. It was Wei Yu who discovered it first. He reminded Beike to look at the left outer rearview mirror. Theres a car. After taking a glance, Beike i s expression changed. lts Beiyang! Hearing Beiyangs name, Wei Yu l s expression was even uglier than Beikes. Ill admit that the grudge between the two of you involved me, but you shouldnt have involved Pei Jiao. If anything happens to Pei Jiao today, you can go to hell! Beike sneered. Dont worry, Ill go to hell first. After Beiyangs car caught up, he directly hit Beikes car with all his might. It was obvious that Beiyang was ruthless this time. Fortunately, Beikes car skills were not bad and he had changed lanes many times. However, it was not easy to avoid Beiyangs pursuit while maintaining the speed of the car. After a few chases, Beike quickly gained the upper hand. Beiyang is crazy! This lunatic! I just burned down your laboratory. At most, Ill compensate you. Im about to catch up to the car in front. Wei Yu, help me watch the road. Wei Yu struggled to push himself to the front. The wound under the gauze on his abdomen split open, and blood quickly stained his clothes. Just as he was about to catch up to the car in front of him, Beike glanced and saw Beiyangs ferocious face in the rearview mirror. Beikes heart skipped a beat. He had an ominous feeling. Sure enough, in the next second, Beiyangs car suddenly collided with the car in front of them. The continuous collision caused the body of Beikes car to suddenly collide with the car in front, causing three consecutive collisions, Boom There was a series of loud bangs. On the wide avenue, three cars collided and flipped sideways at the same time. Black smoke rose into the air, and the event location was a mess. The sky was already dark. Not long after, the alarm went off one after another, and the road was quickly sealed. In his daze, Wei Yu felt someone calling him. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw glass that had shattered into spiderwebs. A medical staff wearing a mask was talking to him. He couldnt hear what he was saying. Soon, he was dragged out of the car. There was blood on the ground and on his clothes. He was lifted onto a stretcher. Smoke billowed in the distance. It was pungent. Where was Pei Jiao ? What about her? Wei Yu tried to climb off the stretcher with the last of his willpower. Fortunately, the medical staff caught him and prevented him from being seriously injured again. Worried that he would flip again, the medical staff put down the stretcher first. Wei Yu took the opportunity to get up with difficulty. When he looked up, his dark pupils reflected the flames that soared into the sky in the distance. Black smoke billowed, like clusters of vengeful spirits wailing in the sky.. Wei Yus shallow consciousness still remembered that position, that car Chapter 732 - Chapter 732: All the Past Is Prologue (5) Chapter 732: All the Past Is Prologue (5) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Shes still in there, he murmured. He crawled towards the fire. Save her. Save her He was covered in blood and a pillar of blood was flowing down his forehead. The medical staff did not dare to touch him too much or stop him. Only two more people could help him up. Wei Yu was helped to his feet. He pointed at the flames in the distance and said, My lover is inside. Save her, save her The police officer who came over said, The fire was too strong. The person has burned to ashes. My condolences. My condolences? Wei Yu looked at the policeman who had called him. No, shell be fine The police officer did not say anything else. Seeing that Wei Yu was dripping blood, he reminded the medical staff, Hes not doing well. Hurry up and send him to the hospital. Dont delay any longer. The medical staff was about to take Wei Yu away forcefully. Wei Yu suddenly said calmly, No need. Ill walk by myself. He told the paramedics to let go, then turned slowly, as if he had let go and was ready to leave. But at that moment, while no one was paying attention, he turned with all his strength and stumbled through the cordon towards the cluster of flames that soared into the sky. It took all his strength and willpower at that moment. Before anyone could react, he actually ran into the sea of fire without hesitation. There was a relieved smile on his face. It was relief, and also belonging. Fei Yi, dont be afraid. Ill accompany you. At this last moment, he shouted the name shed told him when theyd first met. The fire was right in front of him, and the world suddenly spun. His vision darkened, and he instantly lost all consciousness. The three-hit car accident caused a huge sensation in Xingzhou. At one point, it was in the newspaper for a week. Officials have released a limited list of the people killed in the major car accident, including the two brothers from the Beihai Group. Beihai Group had a pivotal position in Xingzhou. After the Qiao and Bai families, it was the fastest-growing corporation in recent years. The old chairman of the group only had these two sons. Bad news had come, and the old chairman had also been hospitalized. There had been no news so far. Ten days later, Wei Yu woke up in the hospital. Before he woke up, he had been indulging in the beautiful dream he had woven. In this beautiful dream were Pei Jiao and their child. The three of them were very happy in this beautiful dream. When he woke up, the white ceiling and the pungent smell of disinfectant were reminders that he was alive and well and in the real world. Are you awake? A nurses voice came from beside him. Wei Yu looked up at the nurse and asked, How long have I been asleep? The nurse answered him. Today happens to be the tenth day. Wei Yu looked around in confusion. Where is this hospital? The nurse told him that this was a famous hospital in Xingzhou. She also told him about his physical condition. He had recovered relatively well during the ten days he had been unconscious. Wei Yu listened distractedly, his mind filled with the scene of the car accident. At this moment, the nurse mentioned, Your fiance takes care of you everyday. Look, she went to talk to your attending doctor about your health. Wei Yu snapped out of his daze and frowned. My fiance? The nurse smiled faintly. Yes, your fiance. Shes very beautiful. Shes been by your side since you were taken to the hospital that day. As the nurse finished speaking, the ward door was pushed open. When Pei Jiao walked in unhappily, her mind was filled with the doctors words. The doctor said that it might be very difficult for Wei Yu to wake up in this situation. She sighed, not knowing how to wake him up. When she came in and saw the nurse, Pei Jiao smiled at her. However, when she saw that Wei Yu had woken up, she was suddenly stunned! Wei Yu? She wasnt even sure if she was seeing things. Just a few minutes ago, she was discussing with the doctor when Wei Yu would wake up. When she was back, he woke up. Wei Yu rolled over and was about to get out of bed, but the wounds on his body restricted him. Before he could lift his blanket, his face and lips were pale from the pain. Pei Jiao walked over quickly. Wei Yu, Wei Yu The nurse advised Wei Yu not to move and to rest well. However, Wei Yu did not listen. He endured the excruciating pain and wanted to get up and hug Pei Jiao with lingering fears. Its not a dream. This is actually not a dream. He really felt her in his arms. Pei Jiao smiled through her tears and hugged him back happily. It wasnt a dream to begin with. Ive been waiting for you for a long time. All the past is a prologue. All futures are anticipated Chapter 733 - Chapter 733: All Futures Are Anticipated (1) Chapter 733: All Futures Are Anticipated (1) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The next February, Pei Jiao gave birth to a boy. When the delivery room door opened and the nurse pushed the bed out, a group of people immediately surrounded it. Han Qianye squeezed in front. Im so beautiful. My granddaughter has to see me first so that shell be as beautiful as me when she grows up. It was rare for Pei Qingji to squeeze with Han Qianye. Im not bad-looking either. Let me take a look first. Matriarch Wei said excitedly, Im old. Let me take a look first. Pei Youan could not get in from above. Instead, he got in from below. Im the invincible number one handsome man in the universe. My niece must be the first to see me. Li Xiwu laughed uncontrollably at the side and supported Pei Jingzhou with her hand. For this first glance, theyre almost fighting. Pei Jingzhou had a smile and regret on his face When Pei Jiao gave birth, the outside was filled with people who cared and doted on her. When Li Xiwu gave birth to Yaoyao and Youyou, she was the only one lying in the cold delivery room. Li Xiwu glanced at Pei Jingzhous expression and knew what he was thinking. She gently pinched his arm with her fingers. Why dont we work hard and have another child to make up for this small regret? Pei Jingzhou pulled her into his arms. Thats not how you make up for your regrets. Li Xiwu recalled that she was still very young when she gave birth to Yaoyao and Youyou. She was only in her early twenties. Even now, when she thought about it, it felt too distant. It was not impossible to have another child. She quite wanted to have another one herself. Forget it. She could not tell Pei Jingzhou about this. She would let nature take its course. Anyway, she had been using various prescriptions to nourish his body for the past year. Perhaps one day, she would really give birth. At this moment, Pei Youans noisy voice came from ahead. What? A boy? Why does a boy use a pink blanket? Han Qianye asked, Didnt they say that its a daughter? The nurse looked confused. No one said it was a daughter. Han Qianye sighed. Its all Wei Yu l s fault for talking about his daughter from time to time, making our entire family think that shes a daughter. If this son is like Pei Jiao, hell definitely overturn the roof every other day. Pei Qingji added, The roof is too high now. He cant lift it. Han Qianye thought for a moment. Thats true. Matriarch Wei was overjoyed. To her, both boys and girls were the great-grandsons of the Wei family. In the future, everything in the Wei family would belong to this little great-grandson. After a while, Pei Jiao was pushed out of the delivery room. Because it was a C-section, she could not move yet. Wei Yu had been by Pei Jiaos side since she entered the delivery room. Then, he followed her into the VIP ward. His eyes did not leave Pei Jiao the entire time. He did not even look at the son in the swaddle. Or rather, he didnt even know if it was a boy or a girl. When the doctor in the delivery room told him it was a boy, he hadnt listened to a word. It was not until later that after several observations by the doctor and several confirmations that Pei Jiao was fine that his tense nerves finally relaxed. Matriarch Wei asked Wei Yu to take a look at his son. Wei Yu came back to his senses and asked, Isnt she a daughter? Pei Youan, who was standing at the side, said angrily, You still have the cheek to say that? Its just that you keep saying that my sister is pregnant with a daughter. Ive always thought that my sister is pregnant with a daughter. I thought that my little niece would look at me first and look like me in the future, but in the end, shes a nephew. However, my nephew is even more handsome than me. Hehe, with a good-looking face, he will be pursued by a group of girls wherever he goes. Han Qianye really couldnt stand Pei Youan selling melons to everyone. Shut your Muggle mouth. If you keep talking, Ill teach you a lesson. Pei Youan thought he was very handsome and blew at the bangs on his forehead. Hmph, do you think Im afraid? I just dont want to talk anymore. Now that Pei Jiao was asleep, Han Qianye was afraid that Pei Youan would wake her up, so she quickly chased him out. The others left one after another, except for Wei Yu, who was accompanying them in the ward. Beside it was a space capsule for babies. Taking advantage of the fact that Pei Jiao was asleep, Wei Yu got up and walked to the space capsule. The swaddle wrapped the baby very tightly, revealing only a wrinkled little face. Wei Yu frowned. It was his first time as a father, but his heart was as calm as water. He even had a strange guessthis was his and Pei Jiaos child? He bent down and reached out, wanting to touch the child. His hand reached into the air, but he stepped back. He was so small and looked so fragile. It was better not to touch him.. Chapter 734 - Chapter 734: All Futures Are Anticipated (2) Chapter 734: All Futures Are Anticipated (2) Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Just as he retracted his hand, a hand suddenly reached over and touched the babys wrinkled face for him. The fingertips were very long, but the action was very gentle. It left without stopping. Have you chosen a name? The man retracted his hand and turned to ask. Just by looking at the hand, Wei Yu couldnt recognize the owner of the hand, but he knew who it was from the voice. He turned to look at Qin Zhuoning and replied, Wei Shi. Qin Zhuoning asked, Which word? Wei Yu said, Shi from the first encounter. Qin Zhuoning repeated, Wei Shi, Wei Shi Who came up with this name? Jiaojiao, Wei Yu said. You dont even believe that yourself. Qin Zhuoning smiled and said, Its impossible for Jiaojiao to come up with this name. I know her too well. I guess shes probably prepared to name this child with the weight he had. Wei Yu l s lips twitched. What could not be denied was that Qin Zhuoning was right. At that time, Pei Jiao was awake during the Cesarean section. When she heard the nurse report that the child weighed more than seven pounds, she immediately grabbed Wei Yus hand and said excitedly, Seven pounds! Seven pounds! Lets call it Wei Qijin! At that time, Wei Yu was even more nervous than Pei Jiao. In a daze, he agreed. Alright, lets call him whatever you want. Wei Qijin, Wei Qijin Wei Yu hoped that Pei Jiao had forgotten about the name she had given in the delivery room. It was not difficult for Qin Zhuoning to tell from Wei Yus expression that he had guessed correctly, so he asked again, How many pounds? I forgot. Wei Yu would not allow everyone to know the name Wei Qijin. Qin Zhuoning laughed uncontrollably. Its fine if you dont say it. Jiaojiao will say it. Wei Yu: Four years passed in the blink of an eye. Wei Shi was already in kindergarten, in the middle class. Pei Zhi, who was half a year younger than Wei Shi, was in a small class. After school in the afternoon, Pei Youan took on a heavy responsibility and waited outside the kindergarten early in the morning. When school ended, he went to pick up Pei Zhi, who was studying in a small class. After picking him up, he went to pick up Wei Shi who was studying in a big class. Little Uncle. Uncle. The two little guys held Pei Youans hands and walked in two directions. Pei Youan stood in the middle and let the two little guys pull him. Pei Zhi said, I want to buy that diamond egg. The boss said that it can hatch the strongest diamond and be invincible. Wei Shi said, That shop is wholesale wild Ultras. Im going to buy a truck of it. Pei Zhi turned to Wei Shi and said, Im in a hurry. If Im late, the diamond egg will be gone. Wei Shi disagreed. Mines more urgent than yours. Buy mine first! Pei Zhi said, Mine is more urgent. Me, me, me, me. Its me, its me, its me. Uncle! Young Uncle! Uncle, dont you like me anymore? I like you the most. Young Uncle, Zhizhi likes you so much. You said that you like Zhizhi the most. Pei Youan felt like his head was about to explode when he was pulled to the sides by the two children who had different opinions. Alright! Pei Youan looked like he had nothing to live for. One, two, three, blockhead, whoever speaks first is a dog. The two little guys finally behaved. Pei Youan did not buy the diamond eggs or wild Ultraman. He dragged the two stubborn children back to the car. As soon as he got into the car, Pei Youan received a call from Pei Jiao. Pei Jiao asked him, Did you pick him up? Pei Youan snapped, I did. Two. One was Pei Jiao and Wei Yu i s child, called Wei Shi. One was Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhous third child. Li Xiwu naturally got pregnant with a son named Pei Zhi. Pei Zhi and Wei Shi were about the same age. They could play and quarrel. Sometimes, they were like fire and water, and sometimes they were intimate. The two of them attended the same kindergarten and were often inseparable. There were always endless things to talk about and endless fights. It was unknown who Pei Zhi took after. In any case, he was not like Li Xiwu or Pei Jingzhou. His personality was even more lively than Youyous, and Wei Shis personality was completely like Pei Jiaos. When the two of them were together, they were simply invincible. Pei Jiao said to Pei Youan, Ill leave my Little Shi to you for the time being. I believe in you. Youll definitely take good care of him. Pei Youan said, Sister, I want to date With two children, the girls ran away in fear when they saw him. They said that he had two children at such a young age. He had nowhere to explain, and he couldnt find a place to cry. Pei Jiao comforted him. Your current experience of taking care of children is building the foundation for your future marriage and children. You dont want your wife to despise you for not taking care of children in the future, right? Pei Youan said, Sister, I feel like youre brainwashing me. Nonsense. Im reminding you. Alright, lets not talk about it. Your brother-in-law and I are about to land in Xingzhou to see our old friends. Well be back in seven or eight days. Ill leave Little Shi and Zhizhi to you. With that, Pei Jiao hung up. Pei Youan: Just as he ended the call, Pei Jingzhou called again. Pei Youan accepted his fate and picked it up. He sighed and shouted, Brother. Pei Jingzhou asked, Who were you talking to just now? Who else could it be? Your sister who doesnt want a son but wants youth! Pei Youan said. Pei Jingzhou chuckled. Its been hard on you these past few days. Pei Youan said, Its not hard. Life is hard. Pei Jingzhou said, Your sister-in-law and I are going overseas. Yangui and Yansheng left with Mom and Dad. Ill have to trouble you with Pei Zhi. Pei Youan gritted his teeth. ..Okay. Pei Jingzhous instructions were usually concise and not as talkative as Pei Jiaos. After saying two sentences, he hung up. Pei Youan held his cell phone. His expression was even more lifeless than when he picked up the two little fellows. Pei Zhi asked, Where are my parents? Pei Youan said, They dont want you anymore. Wei Shi immediately asked, My parents dont want me anymore? Pei Youan saw through him. Yes. Its alright. Pei Zhi hugged Pei Youans arm. Young Uncle will take good care of me. Wei Shi hugged Pei Youans arm from the other side. Uncle, theres still me. Pei Youan was on the brink of tears. Was I a traitor in my previous life? Why do I have to suffer the sin of raising a child at such a young age in this life? Meanwhile, the flight Pei Jiao and Wei Yu were on had just landed at Xingzhou International Airport. After leaving the airport, Pei Jiao held Wei Yus arm. The two of them chatted and laughed along the way. After leaving the airport, a man wearing sunglasses leaned against the car door not far away and waved at Pei Jiao. Its Beike! Pei Jiao smiled and turned to Wei Yu. I knew it. Beike must have arrived before us. Wei Yu glanced in that direction. Its not just Beike. Theres someone else in the car. ?? That car accident had made Pei Jiao and Wei Yu think that Beike had died in a sea of fire. It was only later that he found out that Beike had been taken away by his brother, Beiyang. All their grievances ended in that car accident. All the past was prologue; All the future was anticipated..
