Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Don’t Bring Trouble Upon Yourself

"Did you really investigate this matter?" Pei Liyan was shocked, then became serious: "Qiao Rui, it’s best if you don’t look into this, you’ll be playing with fire."

"Pei Liyan, are you even a man?" Qiao Rui glanced disdainfully at Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan was stunned, feeling a bit helpless: "This matter is a taboo for the Lin Family, it has nothing to do with my manhood. I just don’t want you involved in dangerous things."

"It’s already too late," Qiao Rui said. "If you’re afraid of playing with fire, you can quickly divorce me and get yourself out of it."

"What are you saying?" Pei Liyan said gravely. "Do you think I’m the kind of person who’s afraid of dying?"

"Seeing how cautious you are, who knows if you’re afraid of death?" Qiao Rui snorted, her tone full of contempt.

She’s not afraid, even as a girl, so she doesn’t know what he’s afraid of as a grown man.

It’s simply embarrassing.

If people knew her husband was this cautious, wouldn’t they laugh until they lose their teeth?

Pei Liyan felt very helpless: "I just don’t want you involved in such dangerous things, do you understand?"

"I already told you, it’s too late, I’m already involved," Qiao Rui said calmly. "So, if you’re scared, you can hide quickly; there’s still time. If you’re not afraid, I can protect you."

Pei Liyan made an emergency stop, parked the car by the roadside, turned on the hazard lights, and then looked at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui frowned and reminded him, "Mr. Pei, don’t drive recklessly; this is a public street. If you don’t want to live, don’t drag others down."

"Don’t worry, I’m not done living yet," said Pei Liyan. "You girl, I’m trying to talk to you nicely, letting you see the danger, and you mock me like this. In your heart, am I such a useless man?"

Qiao Rui was startled by his serious attitude, finally understanding that she had hurt his pride as a man.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

Alright, this man’s pride is quite strong.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Liyan frowned and said, "Am I that useless in your heart?"

"Not exactly," Qiao Rui said with a smile. "In fact, you’ve always been very useful."

Pei Liyan looked deeply into Qiao Rui’s eyes; being looked down upon by her, his heart was filled with hurt.

No man can endure being looked down upon by his wife, so low like dust.

"During the day, your presence makes me powerful, and at night, you can warm the bed; you’re indeed useful," Qiao Rui said seriously. "Also, at night you certainly are a man, so why are you so timid?"

"Damn it," Pei Liyan was taken aback. She had the nerve to say that, and he felt a bit helpless. "I’m doing this for your own good."

"Thank you for your good intentions, but it’s really okay. If you’re scared, I can really protect you, so don’t curse, okay?" Qiao Rui saw his face change mysteriously and joked with a smile.

Pei Liyan was annoyed, his eyebrows knitted into a knot, his eyes filled with anger, but ultimately, it turned into profound helplessness.

This series of changes was all seen by Qiao Rui.

He reached out to stroke Qiao Rui’s face, softly saying, "Girl, you’re so infuriating. If I really needed you to protect me, it would indeed be as you said, I wouldn’t be a man."

"Are you mad?" Qiao Rui laughed and said.

"Not mad," Pei Liyan repeated. "If you’ve chosen to walk such a dangerous path, I can only accompany you, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, we will hold hands together, facing and enduring it all."

Qiao Rui was taken aback, she didn’t expect him to say that.

"Fool!" She was moved, reached out and held his hand, smiling as she said, "Why endure? If we face it hand in hand, we’ll be unstoppable."

Pei Liyan was stunned, then chuckled. "Alright, unstoppable!"

This girl always surprised him.

Qiao Rui also smiled, holding his hand.

At that moment, she couldn’t help feeling full of emotions which flooded into her heart.

A heart also warmed up.

"Let’s go, the cars behind are honking," Qiao Rui said. "Parking on the roadside is holding up others."

"Alright, let’s go then." Pei Liyan leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead, cherishing it greatly.

Qiao Rui’s face heated up, and she said, "Hurry up and go."

When Pei Liyan restarted the car and merged back onto the road, he said in a deep voice, "Tonight, I still have to prove that I am a man."

Qiao Rui: "...."

Pei Liyan glanced at her and said, "This naturally requires your cooperation."

"Alright, I’ve already proven you’re a man, okay?" Qiao Rui said.

"No, you just said I wasn’t a man, so I need to prove it seriously," Pei Liyan said earnestly.

Qiao Rui didn’t want to engage him anymore and could only change the topic. "Where are we going to eat hotpot?"

"Originally, I wanted to eat out, but given the situation, let’s eat at home," Pei Liyan said. "I’ll call Mrs. Feng now."

Qiao Rui said, "It’s too late to go home, let’s just go to a hotpot restaurant."

"Do you have anything in the afternoon?" Pei Liyan asked back. "Didn’t you say earlier that a phone call could handle it?"

"Some things can’t be handled over the phone, I have to do it myself," Qiao Rui replied irritably.

Pei Liyan smiled, full of meaning, and said, "The premise of that is, if we don’t go home to eat hotpot, there are some things that don’t need hands-on involvement?"

Qiao Rui snickered. "Of course not."

She knew very well that eating at home would mean not going out in the afternoon.

Pei Liyan laughed and said, "Okay, then let’s go to the restaurant."

So, the two of them went to a hotpot restaurant, got a private room, ordered dishes, and prepared to enjoy the meal.

When the lamb slices were cooking in the pot, Qiao Rui began to prepare her dipping sauce.

"Mr. Pei, do you eat spicy?" Qiao Rui asked.

Pei Liyan said, "Mildly spicy."

Qiao Rui nodded and made him a bowl of mildly spicy dipping sauce.

Pei Liyan cooked the hotpot, took out the cooked meat, and placed it on the plate in front of Qiao Rui.

He filled her plate first, then got some for himself.

This detail caught Qiao Rui’s attention, and she raised an eyebrow slightly.

Pei Liyan said, "Eat up."

He then started cooking seafood.

Qiao Rui only focused on eating, being taken care of by Pei Liyan, she felt very good.

The meal was only halfway through when someone knocked on the door.

Pei Liyan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Who?"

"Mr. Pei, our master would like to meet you and Miss Qiao," a low male voice came from outside.

Both Qiao Rui and Pei Liyan narrowed their eyes, and Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, "In half an hour; we need to eat first!"

The outside paused, then said, "Our master is already here."
