Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Sooner or Later Ruined by You

Qiao Rui looked up at the man’s cold face and smiled back, asking, "What could possibly be the matter? Didn’t I tell you earlier, nothing’s wrong."

Pei Liyan also sighed in relief, only truly relaxing when he saw she was okay. "Good that you’re fine, but the news really exaggerates things."

He pulled Qiao Rui fully into his arms, hugging her tightly.

Qiao Rui was held so tightly she almost couldn’t breathe and laughed lightly, "The news exaggerates a lot of things, it’s never been one or two days that way."

Pei Liyan sighed, then looked deeply at Qiao Rui; indeed, nothing was wrong. This girl knows how to play, and she plays big.

"Girl, you play so big, my heart can’t take it," Pei Liyan’s tone was indulgent and helpless.

Qiao Rui’s heart tightened, feeling his gaze was a bit too intense, a bit unusual.

She somewhat couldn’t handle such a gaze, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Come on, you aren’t that fragile. By the way, you didn’t follow me again, did you?"

"I was worried about you, not exactly following you." Pei Liyan looked deeply into Qiao Rui’s eyes and said, "Anyway, it’s funny that I ended up tailing Jiang Jinfeng, and then we went to see the so-called car accident site you staged, saw Gai Yin and your driver, and knowing you’re okay, Jiang Jinfeng and I went for tea together."

Qiao Rui was taken aback, puzzled. "When did you get so familiar with Jiang Jinfeng to go for tea with him?"

"Not familiar with him, but since we had a fender bender, naturally we needed a cup of tea to calm our nerves." Pei Liyan’s tone revealed no emotion.

Qiao Rui still found it odd, so she asked another question, "Was the fender bender serious?"

"Not serious." Pei Liyan stepped in front of her and scrutinized her, saying, "You arranged such dangerous things and didn’t even tell me."

"It’s okay, it was all fake, I’m very fond of life." Qiao Rui glanced at him. "By the way, do you want to take a shower?"

Pei Liyan nodded. "Yes, I need a shower. Want to join me?"

Qiao Rui chuckled. "Too bad, I’ve just showered."

"Have another one." Pei Liyan looked at her unwaveringly, sincerely inviting.

Qiao Rui shook her head. "No, after finally drying my hair, it would be a waste of time to wet it again. You go shower; I need to make some arrangements by phone."

Pei Liyan gazed deeply at Qiao Rui’s face once more.

He found it strange, though her face was different, he must remember exactly how it’s achieved.

Under such intense scrutiny, Qiao Rui asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Pei Liyan turned his gaze away, saying, "Just thinking you’re a very impressive woman."

He actually wanted to say she’s a chameleon but feared it would be too blunt.

Pei Liyan had a hint of a smile on his lips, his stern features exuding infinite tenderness.

"Thank you for the compliment." Qiao Rui smiled. "I hope to be someone who can walk alongside Mr. Pei."

"You’re more than enough." Pei Liyan smiled warmly, "I should say it’s my honor."

Qiao Rui’s eyes brightened, "Once I’m done with this phase, I’ll take you back to my village to meet the aunts there."

Pei Liyan was momentarily stunned, "So you’re saying I’ve passed the test then?"

Qiao Rui nodded. "Whether you’re qualified or not isn’t up to me; it’s up to the village aunts."

"My wife is you, not the village aunts." Pei Liyan chuckled lightly, charming and sexy, "They can only make decisions in your village."

Qiao Rui laughed at his tease and pushed him towards the bathroom, "Go shower already."

Pei Liyan laughed too, "Really not going to shower with me? We haven’t shared a bath yet."

Qiao Rui giggled, "We will sooner or later. I really have to arrange other things today, don’t waste time, okay?"

"I remember when we parted, you promised me you’d thank me properly." Pei Liyan reminded.

Qiao Rui replied, "You also promised me to wait at home for me, but when I came back, you weren’t here."

"Alright then!" Pei Liyan said, "I’ll admit today was my fault."

"Got it." Qiao Rui gave him a casual smile, helped him close the door, and went back to her room to make calls.

Her first call was to Jiang Jinfeng.

The call was answered quickly.

Jiang Jinfeng’s voice came from the other side, "Are you okay?"

"What could possibly happen to me? But you, how come you ended up having tea with Pei Liyan?"

"After the fender bender, he invited me for tea, so we had some. Since I hit his car, he made the suggestion, and I couldn’t refuse, right?" Jiang Jinfeng was relieved they were talking on the phone; had it been face-to-face, he would’ve been nervous earlier.

"Makes some sense." Qiao Rui furrows her eyebrows, "What did you talk about during tea?"

"Nothing much. We just looked at the accident site and said hello to Gai Yin."

"You met Gai Yin?" Qiao Rui paused, realizing Pei Liyan was quite sly.

"And Huang Ying." Jiang Jinfeng added promptly.

"I know they were handling the aftermath together." Qiao Rui said, "I just find it odd that you two went for tea."

"It was nothing, just had some tea. He was actually quite polite." Jiang Jinfeng endorsed Pei Liyan.

"Alright, understood." Qiao Rui inexplicably felt a strange vibe between Jiang Jinfeng and Pei Liyan.

Because Jiang Jinfeng praised Pei Liyan, odd.

Having hung up, Qiao Rui immediately contacted Gai Yin and Huang Ying, then made a few other calls.

Counting time, Pei Liyan should’ve finished showering by now.

She arranged everything, and no sooner had she sat down, a knock sounded on the door.

Qiao Rui opened the door and saw Pei Liyan standing at the threshold, looking at her with a teasing smile.

Qiao Rui looked at him too, having changed into home clothes—a pink round-neck T-shirt and gray-white trousers—standing there like a youthful boy full of vitality.

The pink color greatly complemented his skin, making him look several years younger than his age.

Qiao Rui smiled, "Why dressed so fresh and young?"

Pei Liyan raised his eyebrows, "Fresh and young?"

"Yeah, like a pretty boy."

"So you’re happy with it?"

"Did you wear it for me?" After a few seconds, Qiao Rui realized and looked at him, "Did you really wear it for me?"

Pei Liyan nodded.

"You’re really thoughtful." Qiao Rui laughed, his adorable gesture making her lips part slightly, "But this color indeed looks good on you, suits you."

Most men don’t look this clean in pink, but on him, his whole aura changed, to that of a vibrant youth.

Pei Liyan watched her giggle teasingly, keeping his eyes fixed on her, "As long as you like it."

"Time to sleep." Qiao Rui said, "I’m quite busy tonight, can I sleep alone?"

Pei Liyan thought for a moment. "Not just arranging those things, it can’t be something I can’t know about, can it?"

"It’s not that there’s something you can’t know, just worried it might affect your sleep."

Pei Liyan seized Qiao Rui’s wrist, saying, "I don’t mind, come on, let’s sleep together."

Looking at him holding her wrist, Qiao Rui said, "Luo Xiuxin wants to go to the hospital tonight to kill me, I feel I need to go to the hospital."

"Didn’t you already arrange someone?" Pei Liyan countered, "I also arranged Fang Mo, so tonight you shouldn’t go anywhere, just stay home with me."
