Chapter 97: Adults Don’t Get Stye

In the first second of the video, what comes into view is Xie Peizhou's handsome face in a suit and tie with a stern brow.

Wen Ci initially thought it was a launch event for some new product from the Xie Group, but as she listened, she realized something was amiss. Xie Peizhou was actually clarifying his relationship with Song Wanqing! He claimed they were just ordinary college classmates, not in a romantic or marital relationship, and he seriously threatened to hold the rumormongers criminally responsible.

Finally, the video blogger concluded with a Hunan accent, saying, "The president of the Xie Group is so busy with his work, and for so many years he's ignored all the gossip. But this time he's making such a big fuss about clarifying the rumors about him and Song Wanqing. Could it be that the Xie Group is really about to welcome a genuine president's wife?"

Accompanied by the last melody of Hunan dialect, a hand with Buddhist beads on its wrist placed a plate of king crabs on the dining table.

"Is there anything else you want to eat? We have seafood shrimp fried rice, would you like some?"

Xie Peizhou's low, magnetic voice rang out. Compared to the cold and serious voice during the press conference, it was now extremely gentle and considerate.

Wen Ci's eyelashes trembled, and she raised her eyes to look at him.

The man curled his thin lips, knowing that she had seen the clarification video, as if silently saying, Song Wanqing and I are really innocent, you are the only one in my heart.

"I want seafood shrimp fried rice. Do you have pudding for dessert? I want strawberry pudding."

When Wen Niannian saw the huge king crab, her eyes lit up. Seafood shrimp fried rice was her favorite, and she clamored to get it herself.

Wen Ci's heart beat faster, but it was obvious that Xie Peizhou did this to make her happy.

It gave her a greater sense of security and confidence, and made her believe that Xie Peizhou really liked her and that there was nothing between him and Song Wanqing.

Wen Ci looked at her daughter who looked very happy and took her hand, "Then let's go get it."

Xie Peizhou noticed the smile in her eyes, and his heart softened as he watched the mother and daughter leave.

The seafood buffet restaurant is very large, with a wide variety of delicious food. The desserts are located quite far away from the table occupied by Wenci.

Wen Ci and Nian Nian spent a long time choosing according to their stomach capacity.

When the two returned with plates full of their favorite delicacies, Xie Peizhou had already politely declined three female customers who wanted to share a table.

The last female customer saw Wen Ci and Wen Niannian coming over, and apologized very apologetically, saying that she didn't see the wedding ring on Xie Peizhou's hand and didn't know he was married and had a daughter.

Upon hearing this, Xie Peizhou glanced at Wen Ci's slender, clean fingers, without any embellishment.

What's her finger size?

Wen Ci didn't notice his scrutiny and said to the girl, "It's dinner time now and there aren't enough seats at the table. Are you alone? We can still seat one more person here."

"No, no, I'll go somewhere else and not disturb you three from having dinner. Bye."

The girl waved her hand and quickly disappeared.

It is common for them to be mistaken for a family of three when they bring their daughter with them, and even little Wen Niannian is used to it.

Returning to the seat inside, the little girl stared at the king crab with sparkling eyes, "Mommy, eat, eat, I want to eat crab legs!"

Wen Ci smiled, handed her a long crab leg, and helped her serve a small plate of seafood shrimp fried rice.

Xie Peizhou put on gloves very consciously and peeled seafood for the mother and daughter.

The meal was delicious.

The three of them were full.

Xie Peizhou took the opportunity to suggest, "How about we go for a walk by the river to digest our food before going home?"

Wen Niannian rubbed her bulging belly, but she was thinking about the cotton candy at the riverside stall. She pulled Wen Ci's arm and said coquettishly, "Mommy, I'm so full. Let's take a walk before going home~"

Two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, looked at her eagerly. Wen Ci opened her mouth, but could not say anything except "yes".

By the river, the lights are coming on.

There are many tourists, and the roadside is lined with long snack stalls of various kinds, such as grilled gluten, stinky tofu, grilled pig's trotters, fried vermicelli and fried noodles. The aroma of all kinds of life is overwhelming.

It’s just that the three of them ate too much seafood today, and their appetites were suppressed.

But before the three of them had walked for a while, Nian Nian had a string of pink marshmallows and a hydrogen balloon with Snow White patterns printed on it in her hands.

The little girl happily ran along the crowd, watching the "Snow White" in her hand flying in the sky.

Wen Ci and Xie Peizhou followed behind her.

Wen Ci also had the same marshmallows and hydrogen balloons as her daughter.

When buying, Wen Ci said no, but Xie Peizhou insisted on buying two.

Wen Ci looked at him, deliberately calling him uncle, and said coldly: "In your eyes, I will always be a child, right?"

Xie Peizhou looked at her pouting mouth in dissatisfaction, his Adam's apple rolled, and he resisted the increasingly strong desire to kiss her in public.

While she's not paying attention, hold her little hand.

The issue of seniority is actually a bit sensitive for both of them.

After Wen Ci finished speaking, she actually felt a little regretful.

But Xie Peizhou said: "I hope that in my eyes, you can always be as carefree and happy as a child."

Wen Ci had a very hard time during the five years she was hurt by him.

He hopes that the rest of her life will be filled with sweetness.

The temperature was getting lower and lower at night, and Nian Nian sneezed.

Xie Peizhou held her in his arms and said, "Let's go. I'll take you home."

I got home at 8:30 in the evening.

The house was pitch black, so Xie Yiyi was probably not at home.

Wen Ci was worried that her daughter would catch a cold after eating seafood, so she asked her to go to the bathroom to fill the bath water and then helped her take a bath.

The little girl changed into indoor slippers and ran obediently to the master bedroom.

In the living room, Wen Ci was about to pour a cup of hot water for Xie Peizhou when the man behind her said softly, "It's getting late. I'll be leaving first."

Wen Ci was stunned for a moment and put down the glass.

She thought he would stay for a long time, or even stay.

It's not even nine o'clock yet, and you're saying it's late and you want to leave?

For a moment, Wen Ci felt an unexpected sense of loss in her heart, and her breathing became a little stiff. She couldn't help but wonder - did Xie Peizhou feel that after getting to know her, his feelings for her were not love...

Wen Ci bit the tip of her tongue, but didn't show it on her face. She smiled at him and walked him to the door. "Well, be careful on the road."

Xie Peizhou changed his leather shoes at the entrance. He looked at Wen Ci's suddenly dim eyes with his dark eyes, curled his thin lips, and glanced towards the master bedroom. He could vaguely hear the sound of running water and guessed that his daughter would not suddenly appear.

He put his arm around Wen Ci's waist, brought her close to him, lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, and whispered, "Can't bear to leave me?"

Wen Ci turned her face away, trying to take his hand off her waist, "No."

"No?" Xie Peizhou's bony hands pinched her waist, not only did he not loosen his grip but he increased the strength. At the same time, he pressed his face down and kissed her lips heavily, absorbing the softness on her lips.

"Open your mouth..."

The man kissed her lips and was about to go deeper when he heard the door open with a click.

Then, Xie Yiyi's scream reached their ears, "--Ah, I didn't see anything!"

The ambiguous atmosphere suddenly shattered.

Wen Ci's cheeks were flushed with heat. She pushed Xie Peizhou away and turned around to see Xie Yiyi in pajamas, covering her eyes with her fingers spread out.

Wen Ci: “…”

The lust in Xie Peizhou's eyes was forced to fade. He took a deep breath and looked at his niece who was leaning against the door. His tone was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction and displeasure. "You are an adult now. You won't get stye even if you see it!"
