However, as time passed and Mu Qiannian’s thoughts went elsewhere, she forgot how close Pei Mingchen was to her.

The stir-fried pork with garlic in the pot looked like it was almost ready. She tasted it and felt that it tasted pretty good.

Thinking that Pei Mingchen also wanted to eat it, Mu Qiannian picked up a piece of meat and wanted to give it to him to taste. However, Pei Mingchen’s lips pressed against her forehead without warning.

If she was a little taller, or if Pei Mingchen was a little shorter, it would be mouth-to-mouth.

Mu Qiannian was so shocked that she took a step back and the meat on her chopsticks fell to the ground.

Pei Mingchen, who was equally surprised, was also stunned. He was instantly flustered.

Would Niannian be angry? She did not seem to like being too close to him..

Almost instantly, Pei Mingchen said anxiously, “I didn’t do it on purpose. It was an accident just now. I just wanted to be closer to you. I didn’t… I didn’t want to do anything to you.”

Mu Qiannian’s originally flustered heart was calmed down by his helplessness.

Mu Qiannian’s gaze landed on Pei Mingchen’s uneasy face. “You don’t have to worry. I know you didn’t do it on purpose. It’s fine.”

Pei Mingchen was comforted. He walked closer and rested his head on her shoulder. His hands hung by his side as he restrained himself.

Feeling wronged, Pei Mingchen said, “I’m so worried. I’m worried that you’ll hate me because of this. You’ll think that I’m taking advantage of you.”

Mu Qiannian could not help but laugh when she heard that. “How could that be? I know that you’re not the kind of person with dirty thoughts. I understand you.”

Pei Mingchen nodded when he heard that and stood up obediently.

He was actually also the kind of person with dirty thoughts, but… He only wanted to have dirty thoughts toward his Niannian.

Mu Qiannian pointed at the dining table. “Bring two sets of cutlery over and sit down. I’ll be done soon.”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Pei Mingchen’s eyes when he heard that. Mu Qiannian happened to catch a glimpse of him.

The thought flashed across Mu Qiannian’s mind instantly, but she managed to suppress it. Was he too clingy? He was clearly very respectful to her in her previous life, but she had never seen him with such a soft personality.

Two dishes were served. Mu Qiannian swiftly scooped two more bowls of rice and sat down in front of the dining table.

“Come, eat quickly. After you’re done, take a shower.”

“Okay.” Pei Mingchen was very supportive. In the end, both dishes were cleared by him.

Mu Qiannian supported her chin as she sat across from him. She watched as Pei Mingchen obediently picked up the bowl and chopsticks to wash. She was very satisfied with his self-awareness.

Life was just like having someone to cook and someone to wash the dishes. It was really nice.

Mu Qiannian came out of the bedroom with a towel draped over her shoulders. Pei Mingchen turned around and saw the scene of her drying her hair.

Pei Mingchen volunteered. “Sit down, I’ll dry your hair.”

Mu Qiannian wanted to reject him, but Pei Mingchen had already grabbed the hairdryer in his hands. His eyes were filled with anticipation, and Mu Qiannian could not reject him.

She could only nod and sit down on the stool. Pei Mingchen stood behind her and carefully used the hairdryer to dry every strand of her long hair.

When he was almost done, Pei Mingchen seemed to be addicted to blowing her hair. Mu Qiannian urged him with a laugh, “Why are you still blowing when it’s already dry? Hurry up and go in to take a shower. It’s getting late.”

A greedy look flashed across Pei Mingchen’s eyes as he reluctantly went into the bathroom.

The sound of water coming from the bathroom made Mu Qiannian feel uneasy.

Mu Qiannian knew that she should just continue sleeping like before, but when she heard the movement inside, she could not help but imagine the scene inside. It was really shameful.

She simply took out her phone and read her text messages.

Soon, Pei Mingchen was half-naked and his lower body was wrapped in a towel. It was so loose that it gave Mu Qiannian the illusion that it would fall off at any moment.

However, she could not remind him. If she did, would she not be saying that she had been paying attention to his lower body?

Just thinking about it made Mu Qiannian feel wretched.

Her gaze fell on his short hair that was still dripping with water. She waved at him and picked up the towel that she had used on the stool.

“I remember there was a towel in there. Why did you come out without drying your hair?”

Pei Mingchen walked closer to her and sat down on the stool that she had sat on earlier. “I was so anxious to see you that I forgot.”

Mu Qiannian’s hands stopped moving and her face turned slightly red.

Pei Mingchen only knew how to speak. Mu Qiannian just silently dried Pei Mingchen’s hair.

If he said it to another girl, no one would be able to escape from his grasp.

Of course, it was the same for her.

Moreover, Pei Mingchen could only be hers. He would not say anything that would make other girls blush.

Pei Mingchen’s short hair did not need a hairdryer. It would dry after a few wipes of the towel.

Pei Mingchen got up and turned off the lights in the room. Then, he diligently turned on the night light at the bedside.

Seeing that the person had already lifted the quilt and was about to lie down, Mu Qiannian moved slightly closer to the bedside.

This small action caused Pei Mingchen to pause for a moment. However, he quickly returned to his normal state and hid under the quilt.

Pei Mingchen felt very uncomfortable just now. His heart was very uncomfortable when Niannian hid there.

He was quiet and did not make any other movements. He obediently closed his eyes and fell asleep. Mu Qiannian also slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, when the sky was still foggy, there was an urgent knock on the door.

The person outside the door knocked for a long time, but no one opened the door, so it was replaced by the sound of someone banging on the door,

when Mu Qiannian heard the sound, she got up with hazy eyes, pushed the room door open, and closed it carefully. Then, she went to open the door.

The moment the door was opened, she saw Mu Wanwan standing at the door aggressively, holding a bucket of paint in her hand.

Seeing Mu Qiannian open the door, Mu Wanwan was furious. She lifted the bucket of paint and was about to splash it at Mu Qiannian.

However, Mu Qiannian was quick-witted. She pushed the bucket of paint that was already suspended in mid-air and pushed it back.

The bright red paint splashed all over Mu Wanwan’s body.

Mu Wanwan closed her eyes. She was at a loss for what to do for a moment before she screamed furiously, “Ah! Mu Qiannian, you b*stard!”

Mu Qiannian scratched her ear as she was shocked by Mu Wanwan’s scream. She leaned lazily against the door frame and looked at Mu Wanwan indifferently. “Who are you calling a b*stard?”

Mu Wanwan shouted, “I’m talking about you!”

In the next moment, Mu Wanwan realized that she had been tricked and screamed again, “You, you’ve gone too far!”

Mu Qiannian asked in amusement, “You came to me with paint and said that I’ve gone too far. How have I gone too far?”

Mu Wanwan said angrily, “Because of you, my innocence was ruined. It was all because of you. It was all because of you that you ruined me with that dirty trick!”

If Mu Qiannian had not forced Mu Wanwan to drink that cup of ginseng tea with added drugs and then broadcasted the video of her having sex with someone else at such an important occasion, Mu Wanwan would not have become a joke among the upper class of City A.

Mu Wanwan would not even lose the chance to acknowledge her ancestors and lose her identity as the Young Miss of the Mu family.

It was all Mu Qiannian’s trick, it was all her fault!

Mu Qiannian sneered and looked at Mu Wanwan with a condescending gaze. “Because of me? Are you sure you didn’t deserve it? You know better than I do what happened to that cup of ginseng tea!”
