Li You followed Pei Jingzhouâs words and said to Gu Lanshi, âYes, Iâll come with my boyfriend when I have time.â
Gu Lanshiâs expression did not change as he replied calmly, âAlright. If you make time, remember to contact me, You have my contact number.â
Li You nodded. âl will.â
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 Jingzhouâs 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, âDo you usually interact much with that Gu guy?â
Li You moved closer to Pei Jingzhou and said with a smile, âl thought you wouldnât ask about him.â
Pei Jingzhou was very calm. âYou knew I would ask about him?â
Li You said, âActually, Senior Gu is a person with a high
Pei Jingzhou raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly. âIs it appropriate for you to praise another man in front of your boyfriend?â
âLet me finish first.â Li You smiled ingratiatingly. This time, she spoke faster than before. âWhat 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 shouldnât have said those words outside the airport just now. After all, youâre still beside me, so I guess he did it on purpose.â
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and surprise flashed across his eyes. âSo you have a clear mind.â
Li You shrugged smugly. âOf course. Girls are often more easily aware of these details than boys.â At this point, Li You even said, âDo you believe me? Letâs switch. If a girl wants to seduce you so openly and covertly, you definitely wonât notice it yourself. If I get angry and remind you, you will definitely say that Iâm being unreasonable.â
Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways. âAm I such a person in your eyes?â
Li You shook her head in denial. âNo, no. 1 mean a small number of boys.â
Pei Jingzhou chuckled. âAs a girl, itâs normal for you to feel insecure, but in our relationship, Iâm the most insecure person. Li Youâ¦â Halfway through his sentence, Pei Jingzhou suddenly shouted Li Youâs name. Li You nodded. Pei Jingzhou looked at her steadily. âSome words are shackles that will restrain you, but I think Iâm qualified to say them.â
Li You asked curiously, âWhat words?â
Pei Jingzhou said slowly, âYouâre my first love and will be my wife in the near future. Youâre the only person Iâve firmly liked and loved in my life. Iâve given you all my first times. You canât have the thought of abandoning me. Be it now or in the future, you have to be responsible for me until the end.â
After hearing Pei Jingzhouâs 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. âDonât worry, Iâll definitely be responsible for you to the end.â
Pei Jingzhou suddenly said, âA heartless person has to swallow ten needles.â
âOkay, a heartless person has to swallow tenâ¦â Li You suddenly looked up at Pei Jingzhou. âTen needles?â
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. âAre you afraid?â Li You let go of Pei
Jingzhouâs arm. Pei Jingzhou!s eyes darkened. âAre you really afraid?â
âItâs not that Iâm afraid.â She didnât want to expose him, but seeing how nervous he was that he asked her twice, she was afraid heâd really feel bad, so she said, âDonât think I donât 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.â
Pei Jingzhou pretended not to know. âl said it casually. I donât know about this.â
âStop pretending. Pei Jingzhou, 1 know you too well.â Li You paused for a moment before continuing, âYou want to say such an oath, but youâre afraid that one day, Iâll really be cursed for disloyalty. You canât even bear to let me swallow a thousand or a hundred needles. In the end, you only said ten needles.â
At this point, Li You leaned towards Pei Jingzhou with an expression that said,
âAm I right? Did I hit all the targets? Hurry up and praise me.â Pei Jingzhouâs palm restrained her waist. âYou seem to know everything.â
Li You smiled smugly. âOf course, because I know everything.â
Pei Jingzhou stared into her bright eyes. âIf youâre unfaithful, you have to swallow ten needles. If Iâm unfaithful, Iâll swallow ten thousand needles.â
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. âMy parents came back this time to talk about our engagement.â
Pei Jingzhou nodded. âItâs better to get engaged early than late, so when I mention this in front of Uncle and Auntie, will you think that Iâm restraining you in advance?â
âPei Jingzhou, on the other hand, youâre 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~ â As she spoke, she couldnât help but kiss Pei Jingzhouâs handsome face.
Satisfied with this kiss, she went on. âAnd so devilishly good-looking to satisfy all a womanâs fantasies about her future partner from the inside out. Donât you know how many women are eyeing you covetously?â
Pei Jingzhou replied, âl really donât know.â
âAlright, itâs understandable that you donât know. Only men who arenât confident in themselves will scrutinize themselves over and over again.â Li
You praised her so much, and her small mouth seemed to be covered in honey.
The smile on Pei Jingzhouâs 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, âArenât you going in with me?â
âIâll come tomorrow,â Pei Jingzhou said. Li You pouted. âAre you busy today?â
Pei Jingzhou nodded. âA little.â
Li You was a little dejected. âAlright then. See you tomorrow.â
She waved at Pei Jingzhou and was about to turn around and go in when Pei Jingzhouâs voice sounded.
âIâm busy because I have to go back and prepare gifts, supplements, baijiu, dried fruits, tea leaves. Iâm coming to the Li Mansion to propose marriage. The Pei family values traditions from ancient times very much. Although Iâve 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 canât miss out on any..â
