Chapter 66 Chapter 66 "You seem to have a filter for me."...

Pei Lanqing looked down at her, unsure where she had gone. Hearing her say this, he asked, "Is it work-related?"

Lin Qianyuan nodded slightly, recalling the scene that happened this afternoon, and frowned slightly.

Pei Lanqing raised his hand to smooth her brows and tidied her hair beside her ears. "Did something unpleasant happen to you?"

Lin Qianyuan hesitated for a moment, "Does it count?" She said this, not even sure whether she should say it or not.

Pei Lanqing stroked her hair, smiled slightly, and replied affirmatively, "Of course."

Lin Qianyuan stopped dwelling on it and quickly spoke, "It's not a big deal. Yesterday, I asked my assistant to check the details of the contract signed with the art museum. This was probably his first time dealing with this kind of thing, so he wasn't very familiar with it. He wasn't very prompt with the other party and missed some key points in the contract. Ultimately, I had to handle it myself."

After saying this, Lin Qianyuan frowned. "She seemed very afraid of me, or perhaps she felt guilty about not handling the task well. She was clearly working with a frustrated mood, so the working atmosphere in the afternoon was a bit bad."

Pei Lanqing almost understood after hearing this. "Actually, you're only concerned about her subsequent performance, not whether she handled the task successfully."

Lin Qianyuan leaned into his arms and nodded sullenly.

She had clearly told her when they first met that she could communicate with her if she had any questions.

Lin Qianyuan sighed, "I mentioned this to her before I got in the car to go home. She lowered her head at the time, and I'm not sure if she understood it."

Pei Lanqing could imagine such a scene, perhaps not in the gentlest tone, but from his point of view, she had done her best. After the situation occurred, she completed everything she had to do in the first place.

As he was thinking, Pei Lanqing suddenly frowned and smiled slightly, looking at her with bright eyes.

Lin Qianyuan just looked up, looking confused, "Why are you laughing?"

Pei Lanqing thought for a moment and answered seriously, "Maybe it's because I have a good boss standing in front of me."

Lin Qianyuan was stunned for a moment, then regained consciousness, frowned again, and said honestly what he was thinking, "It seems like you have a filter for me."

Pei Lanqing looked at her extremely solemn expression and couldn't help laughing. He said honestly, "Really? Why don't I think so?"

Lin Qianyuan was a person who could sometimes be indecisive. He arched his brows slightly, looking reluctant. "Alright. If you insist on thinking this way, I can't help it."

Pei Lanqing's smile widened. He gently kissed her forehead and then looked her straight in the eye. "Why did you suddenly sign a contract with the art museum?"

Lin Qianyuan didn't hide it from him, "There's an exhibition next Tuesday."

"How long?"

"Two months."

Pei Lanqing nodded. "I have to go to court next Tuesday, but it should be over quickly. Try to go over and visit as soon as possible."

Lin Qianyuan had participated in many such activities over the years, but she had never heard anyone say such words to her. Suddenly, she felt a strange emotion in her heart, especially since she remembered that she had not yet mentioned the opening lecture to him. It took a long time before she could speak out loud, "Why?"

Pei Lanqing looked at her and saw that she didn't seem to be joking. He half sighed helplessly, "Lin Qianyuan, what do you think?"

Lin Qianyuan was a little confused and looked bewildered.

Pei Lanqing frowned slightly, took her hand, and brought her under his eyelids. He looked directly into her eyes and asked frankly, "Aren't we in a relationship now?"

Due to his professional direction and the nature of the cases, Pei Lanqing often faced not vicious and violent criminals, but elites in suits and ties.

Gaze is essentially a weapon used in a game of mutual competition to penetrate lies and desires, and is therefore inevitably coercive, and sometimes needs to be controlled, but there is always a tension in trying to get the truth.

Lin Qianyuan couldn't stand his gaze and had to look away first, "Yes."

Pei Lanqing sighed deeply, raised his arms and wrapped them around her waist, trapping her in his arms, and whispered softly, "Why do you sometimes seem so clueless?"

Lin Qianyuan buried his head in his chest, listening to his heartbeat, and his own heart also returned to its original place.

She couldn't explain it either. It was like a child who suddenly got the candy he had been coveting for a long time. When he lost the sense of reality, he would always think about going to the treasure chest to check again.

Lin Qianyuan hugged him back, quietly without making any sound. After a long time, she talked to him about the lecture.

Pei Lanqing was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Girlfriend, how come you are so amazing?"

Lin Qianyuan's face turned red, and he couldn't tell whether it was the first half or the second half of the sentence. He mumbled for a long time but couldn't say a complete sentence.

Pei Lanqing held her face in his hands and looked at her carefully. "Are you nervous?"

Lin Qianyuan glanced at him, then looked away. She wasn't as nervous as she was now, so she replied casually, "Not bad."

Pei Lanqing smiled and asked for the specific time. He felt very sorry because he probably wouldn't be able to make it.

Lin Qianyuan was in a good mood. "You want to see it?" She nodded, very generous. "I'll find someone to record it for you."

Pei Lanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, held her chin with his hand, moved a few inches closer, and pecked her lips lightly, "Hmm."

Lin Qianyuan doesn't make promises easily, but once she makes one, she will keep it. Knowing that Qin Yi is still in the country, she told her about this matter on Monday night.

Qin Yi replied immediately, and replied very happily, "Ms. Lin, you don't have to pay me for this little thing. I promise to take beautiful photos of you."

Lin Qianyuan finished listening to this voice message. Then, Qin Yi sent a few more words, this time in text form. [No, actually, I just patted it casually. Miss Lin, do you know why this happened?]

Lin Qianyuan was confused and instinctively asked: [Why?]

Qin Yi laughed out loud, seeming to forget that Lin Qianyuan was not her employer. She only thought that the first trick she had learned online in the past few days had finally come in handy, and typed quickly, "Because Miss Lin, you are already very beautiful."

Lin Qianyuan frowned, thinking he had seen it wrong, exited the page, and then opened it again.

Lin Qianyuan: [? ]

Qin Yi hissed softly. This was not what he had imagined. Just as he was about to press on, he saw a cold message coming from the other side: [Are you sick?]

"..." Qin Yi felt that Miss Lin was really unromantic. That was why she was not sick and was in great health. [No.]

Lin Qianyuan nodded secretly, guessing that she had sent it by mistake. She didn't waste time on it and ended the topic neatly, "I'll pick you up at the small building at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Qin Yi complained sadly, "Okay."

Lin Qianyuan put down her phone and went over the lecture schedule again. She understood it clearly and suddenly thought of something. She walked out of the room and quietly pushed open the study door.

Pei Lanqing stopped turning the pages and looked towards the door. She was standing there motionless. He smiled, put down the materials, and waved for her to come in.

Because she had to recite words aloud, she did not stay in the study to work tonight, leaving Pei Lanqing sitting here alone. When she looked up, she felt a little empty, and her heart was empty as well.

Seeing her again at this moment, he couldn't help but reach out and hold her hand, stroking it gently, and smiled gently, "Are you done?"

Lin Qianyuan nodded, and she asked in return, "What about you?"

Pei Lanqing readily replied, "Not yet."

Lin Qianyuan held his hand tightly, bent down and came close to him, "Would you mind lending me three minutes of your time?"

Pei Lanqing hesitated for a second in a serious manner, and Lin Qianyuan had already consciously moved closer to him and kissed him a few times. His eyes then lit up and he looked at him intently.

Pei Lanqing looked back with gloomy eyes. He had no intention of doing anything, but now he raised his head again, shortening the distance between them and deepening the kiss that had just been light.

Lin Qianyuan was dazed until someone gently bit the tip of her tongue. She came back to her senses, closed her eyes, and shyly hooked her lips around his, responding unskillfully.

When it was over, she was carried to sit on the desk, then she hid her face in his neck and kept silent.

"Lin Qianyuan."

"Hmm?" Lin Qianyuan raised his head following the voice, his eyes seemed to be filled with clear water, shining brightly.

Pei Lanqing couldn't help but kiss her again, and only then did he remember to agree, "It's convenient."

Lin Qianyuan also remembered why she had come to see him, so she pulled him into the master bedroom and opened the closet, "Help me choose a set."

Pei Lanqing looked at her and was happy to participate. He didn't say that they were all suitable, but chose one from them.

Lin Qianyuan nodded, decided to wear the dress tomorrow, and hung it on the outermost side of the closet.

Pei Lanqing lowered his head and smiled, then turned to look around.

He hadn't entered this room since she moved in. She didn't have many belongings, so it seemed a little deserted for some reason.

Lin Qianyuan closed the wardrobe door, thinking that he was looking at the bed. She was used to sleeping on the sofa, and she couldn't get used to sleeping on the double bed here for a long time. She suffered from insomnia every night. The quilt was rolled to one side, which looked a bit strange. She was wondering how to explain it so that it wouldn't seem so abrupt.

Pei Lanqing didn't pay much attention to this. He turned around and said to her, "I have something for you."

"What?"

Pei Lanqing walked out of the master bedroom with her, then returned to his room and handed her the item he had retrieved. "Sachet."

Lin Qianyuan reached out to take it and squeezed it unconsciously.

Pei Lanqing smiled lightly and explained slowly, "These are filled with some traditional Chinese medicine ingredients that help with sleep. They're basic, universal prescriptions that are relatively mild and won't cause irritation."

After saying this, Pei Lanqing remembered her weekend routine and had to speculate, "You haven't been sleeping well lately? Insomnia?"

Lin Qianyuan couldn't say no. She almost never got up until noon. "Well," she added, fearing he would ask more questions like last time, "maybe a little work-related anxiety."

Pei Lanqing nodded, as he thought.

Lin Qianyuan lowered her eyes. The thing in her hand continued to emit a fragrance. She put it to her nose and sniffed, "What's in here?"

Pei Lanqing thought for a moment, "Albizia julibrissin, lavender, jujube seeds, cypress seeds, and a little bit of osmanthus."

"Osmanthus fragrans?"

"Yes," Pei Lanqing held her hand tightly. Her hands were cold, just like before she went abroad, as if she had a cold body. He specifically explained this situation to the Chinese doctor.

Osmanthus is warm in nature and can warm and replenish Yang Qi. Its taste can dredge the meridians and relieve cold evil.

Lin Qianyuan accepted it, but still couldn't help asking, "Is this useful?"

Pei Lanqing pondered for a moment, then said in a soothing tone, "Perhaps. The effect might be minimal. We might as well give it a try first."

Lin Qianyuan didn't refute, but looked up at him for a long time, "Don't you ever suffer from insomnia?"

Pei Lanqing recalled, "Yeah, very few."

Lin Qianyuan noticed it, and he slept well, breathing slowly and quietly, which made people feel calm.
