Chapter 119 It's so spicy!

Pei Xingyu looked at the barrage of comments that exploded instantly, and was both amused and exasperated. He quickly clarified, "Can you guys please calm down? It's making my eyes blurry."

"What boyfriend? Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a boyfriend."

"That's my uncle's girlfriend, my aunt! Don't make wild guesses!"

"This is my aunt! My own wife! My uncle and I are legally married! Don't you dare get me into trouble. If my uncle finds out you're playing matchmaker, I'll be dead!"

[Auntie? Lin Yan'an's boyfriend?]

My aunt's voice is so lovely; I'm curious what she looks like.

[Haha, Xingxing chickened out.]

[Oh, she's an elder, my apologies... Wait, who are you saying she is? Lin Yan'an's girlfriend?!]

After Pei Xingyu finished speaking, he smiled and greeted Zhong Wan, then asked, "Auntie, would you like to say hello to them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan quickly shook her head: "No, you go ahead and play, I'm going to visit my mom."

Pei Xingyu nodded, watching her quickly disappear into the kitchen, and explained to his phone with a smile, "Auntie is shy, huh? I have to end the broadcast now, let's chat another day."

After finishing speaking, Pei Xingyu decisively ended the live stream, put away his phone, and chased after her, asking, "Auntie, where's my uncle?"

Zhong Wan paused, then smiled and explained, "He's away on a business trip. He asked me to come with you to Kyoto to wait for him."

Pei Xingyu understood and asked curiously, "Going on a business trip? To my dad's film crew or somewhere else?"

Zhong Wan shrugged: "I didn't ask in detail."

"Tsk,"

Seeing this, Pei Xingyu couldn't help but complain, "Auntie, you're hopeless! You didn't even bother to find out where my uncle is?"

"I don't need to know everything, but you should at least have a general idea, right?"

"My uncle is a real hot commodity, aren't you afraid someone else will snatch him away?"

Zhong Wan shrugged: "That depends on his willingness, and besides, I have spies around him."

A hint of surprise flashed in Pei Xingyu's eyes, then suddenly he thought of something and his eyes lit up: "Is Sui Sui with him?"

"uh-huh."

"Amazing!"

The two chatted for only a few minutes before the steaming dumplings were ready.

The family sat down around the dining table. Zhong Wan looked at her father's empty seat and asked curiously, "Mom, where's Dad? Is he on the day shift?"

"Um."

He Qilan nodded and said, "We're on the day shift, let's eat first, no need to wait for him."

"After you finish eating, leave early and get some rest."

"Um."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, He Qilan handed the list she had written to Zhong Wan and instructed her, "This is what I found out from Xingyu about Yan An's family's preferences. After you go to Kyoto, buy these things before Yan An returns. Buy more, just in case."

He Qilan continued to give instructions with concern, and handed over a bank card that she had prepared beforehand: "This is the card that Yan An left behind last time. He didn't want it, so you can keep it. The family doesn't need it."

"If you don't have enough money on you, use this first. It's your first time meeting his parents, so you can't go empty-handed or be perfunctory."

Zhong Wan understood, reached out and took the form, but pushed the card back: "I'll just take the form. You can keep the bank card; I have money on me."

Even with money, it's probably unlikely to be enough.

He Qilan said with some worry, "I checked, and some of the things there are really not cheap. You should take some with you."

Zhong Wan chuckled upon hearing this, put her arm around her mother's neck, and gestured with her hand, "Don't worry, your daughter has this much money in her account, and Lin Yan'an even enabled Intimate Payment for me, so I can use his money if I need more."

Seeing her sly smile, He Qilan shook her head and smiled helplessly.

Just then, Zhong Yang's voice calling for help came from inside.

Zhong Wan reached out and hugged her mother before saying, "Then we'll be going now. You should rest well at home."

"Don't worry about the haunted house or the resort. My uncle and his family are here, so don't fret about it."

He Qilan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, what could I possibly be concerned about?"

She suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "Liqun and your sister-in-law also went to Kyoto."

"Find some time to contact them, and take this opportunity to organize something so they can properly thank your friend."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan nodded silently, her smile fading slightly: "I understand."

He Qilan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "People should always look forward."

"Try to think more positively. Be mindful of your emotions in front of Liqun, especially your sister-in-law."

"Um."

Zhong Wan lowered her eyes and sighed softly.

After saying goodbye to her mother, Zhong Wan nestled in the back seat, watching the familiar scenery flash by outside the window, and looking at the distant mountain where her relatives and friends were buried, her feelings were very complicated.

Life is truly unpredictable; who could have imagined that Rui Rui would... at such a young age...

Zhong Wan leaned her head against the car window, listening to soothing music and the sounds of Pei Xingyu's phone. She then picked up her phone and started scrolling aimlessly.

But she never expected big data to be so powerful, not only bringing up Pei Xingyu, but also Lin Yan'an.

Zhong Wan paused slightly on the screen and opened his homepage.

He posted a new video this morning, which is the same breakfast picture he posted before.

Zhong Wan's fingers twitched slightly as she found his photo and looked down at it.

Details she had previously overlooked suddenly came to mind, and even the Zhong Suisui in the corner, which she had previously ignored, seemed to become more distinct.

A slight smile played on her lips; it seemed... she really did miss him.

Zhong Wan gently stroked his face on the screen. His familiar eyebrows and eyes, his forehead covered in sweat, and his cheeks were still a little dirty, but she found him exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

She eventually saved the photo and changed it to her own profile picture.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Upon opening the chat window with him, Zhong Wan lowered her eyes and hesitated.

She missed him and wanted to talk to him.

But I didn't want to disturb his work.

11 a.m., which is during working hours.

After much hesitation, Zhong Wan put away her phone and suppressed her longing.

She held back, but Zhong Suisui had no idea what holding back meant.

Zhong Suisui, forced to play with Pei Xingyao, seemed to sense its mother's longing.

It couldn't help but turn its head and glance at the tightly closed conference room door.

Looking at Pei Xingyao, who was happily munching on snacks, it couldn't help but wag its tail in annoyance, its gaze fixed on the things in Pei Xingyao's hands.

As if sensing its gaze, Pei Xingyao paused in her eating of spicy snacks, looked up at its gaze, then looked down at what was in her hand, and asked hesitantly, "Can Sui Sui eat spicy food?"

As she spoke, she tentatively picked up one and handed it over: "Why don't you try it first?"

【Meow. 】

Zhong Suisui nodded politely, lowered her head, opened her mouth, and ate it in one gulp.

The next second, its eyes widened instantly, its mouth opened wide, and the spicy snack it hadn't finished eating fell onto the coffee table. The cat instantly exploded.

【Ugh! It's so spicy!】

Zhong Suisui howled and vanished from the spot in an instant.

Pei Xingyao was taken aback upon seeing this, and quickly got up, anxiously searching around.

After seeing the conference room door flash briefly,

She was truly convinced.

I've never seen such an affectionate cat.

Zhong Suisui sneaked in several times that morning!

Pei Xingyao sighed helplessly and quickly followed.

Peeking through the crack in the door,

Zhong Suisui was squatting confidently on the conference table, gulping down the water from Lin Yan'an's cup.

Pei Xingyao sighed and rubbed her forehead: "..."

This cat is really spoiled rotten.
