Chapter 24 I won't hold you back anymore

Unlike Yun Zhaozhao's anger, Pei Jiuyan seemed somewhat pleased. He looked at his 'work' with satisfaction, "I'm sorry, baby, Jiu-ge didn't mean it. Baby hasn't dressed up like this in a long time, and Jiu-ge couldn't help himself."

"Zhaozhao, I miss you so much."

Pei Jiuyan's gaze was intense. Yun Zhaozhao was all too familiar with this kind of gaze. In the past, when their eyes met, dry wood and raging fire would always burn very brightly.

She took a step back warily, her hand instinctively resting on her abdomen, and looked at Pei Jiuyan with suspicion: "Stay away from me."

Pei Jiuyan may look respectable, but he's a completely different person in bed, no different from a wild beast. Moreover, he never listens to her in bed.

Even when she had cried all her tears, he wouldn't stop; instead, he would become even more agitated and keep saying suggestive things.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Pei Jiuyan had such a wicked side.

Seeing her wary look, Pei Jiuyan's lips curled into a bitter smile. "Zhaozhao, baby, your husband was wrong, okay? Don't be angry anymore."

"roll."

Yun Zhaozhao was no longer buying it. She pointed to the door and said, "Get out, I want to rest."

Pei Jiuyan cooperated by being kicked out this time. Yun Zhaozhao quickly closed and locked the door. Hearing the sound of the lock, Pei Jiuyan's eyes turned cold.

Looking at the obvious teeth marks in the mirror, Yun Zhaozhao cursed Pei Jiuyan to death.

This dress is unwearable; she'll have to change into something else. She doesn't have many clothes at home; most of them are still in the 'home' she shared with Pei Jiuyan. Yun Zhaozhao didn't want to go back to get them, so after much deliberation, she only found two suitable dresses, one of which was the one she wore on her eighteenth birthday.

Seeing that dress, Yun Zhaozhao felt a little dazed. It was this dress that she wore when she confessed her feelings to Pei Jiuyan.

Years have passed, and everything has changed.

Without hesitation, Yun Zhaozhao stuffed the dress into the closet and put on another one.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yun Zhaozhao felt a little ashamed. This was a gift from her brother for her sixteenth birthday. It was princess-style and pretty, but it didn't quite match her age and seemed a bit like she was trying to look younger than she was.

But there was no other choice now, there was no time to lose. She opened the door and saw Pei Jiuyan standing there, and she was stunned for a moment.

That bastard has been outside the whole time.

Upon seeing Yun Zhaozhao's dress, Pei Jiuyan froze, seemingly recalling something through the dress.

Not knowing what was wrong with her, Yun Zhaozhao pushed Pei Jiuyan.

"A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of the way."

Pei Jiuyan wasn't annoyed by the push; instead, he suddenly reached out and tightly grasped Yun Zhaozhao's hand.

"Where do you want to go, baby? I'll go with you."

"Pei Jiuyan, why are you following me like this? Don't you have anything to do?"

Yun Zhaozhao looked at Pei Jiuyan with annoyance, but Pei Jiuyan was not annoyed. He gave all his patience to Yun Zhaozhao, "What's my business compared to the baby!"

Yun Zhaozhao gave him a sarcastic look. "Really? But that's not what you said before."

Pei Jiuyan frowned: "When did I become like this..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression changed several times. It was more than a year ago when he had just taken over a big project and was extremely busy every day, while Yun Zhaozhao was very clingy to him.

One time, he couldn't help but say, "Yun Zhaozhao, don't you have anything to do? You're always clinging to me, how am I supposed to work? Do you know how much you're delaying my schedule?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it, and later bought Yun Zhaozhao a painting she liked and gave it to her. Yun Zhaozhao was overjoyed, and he thought the matter was over and never took it to heart again.

Seeing that he remembered, Yun Zhaozhao smiled and said, "I won't bother you anymore, and please don't bother me either."

This time, Pei Jiuyan was pushed away, and he didn't follow.

Because of Pei Jiuyan, Yun Zhaozhao was delayed for a long time. By the time she arrived at the Fu family, the banquet was about to begin.

Yun Zhaozhao added another note to Pei Jiuyan's mind before taking the gift to find Grandpa Fu.

Yun Zhaozhao immediately attracted attention upon her appearance.

"Bao'er".

Zhou Xiao had arrived long ago. When she saw Yun Zhaozhao, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, and she asked in a low voice, "Weren't you not coming?"

Before Yun Zhaozhao could speak, she continued, "You're making me so jealous! These are the clothes your brother Yun Fei gave you when you were sixteen, right? It's been nine years, and you can still fit into them."

Zhou Xiao looked on with envy, jealousy and resentment. Not only had her figure not changed, but the key was that Yun Zhaozhao looked perfectly natural in the dress, still the little princess who was the center of attention.

Her eyes remained clean and pure, without the slightest change. No wonder Yun Zhaozhao was so envied by people in the industry; she was practically envious.

"I'll talk to you now, I'm going to see Grandpa Fu."

She came with a mission.

Yun Zhaozhao walked nervously to Grandpa Fu and called out softly, "Grandpa Fu."

When Grandpa Fu heard the voice, he turned around and saw Yun Zhaozhao. He was visibly delighted.

"Zhaozhao? You little devil, you finally remembered to visit this old man."

Grandpa Fu pulled Yun Zhaozhao's hand and made her sit down next to him. He looked at her carefully and said, "You've lost weight. Have you not been eating properly?"

Seeing that Grandpa Fu treated her the same as before, Yun Zhaozhao felt a warmth in her heart and said, "No, I was just sick for a while, but I'll be fine in a while."

"How did you get sick?"

Grandpa Fu looked concerned, which made Yun Zhaozhao feel even worse. She quickly said, "Grandpa Fu, my maternal grandfather is busy with the art exhibition and can't come back. He specially asked me to come and apologize to you."

As she spoke, she took out the gift her grandfather had prepared, and then took out the gift she had prepared, saying playfully:

"Grandpa Fu, I'm poor and can't afford to buy a gift, so I can only give you something I made myself. Please don't mind."

Grandpa Fu was about to speak with a smile when he heard a voice say, "Yun Zhaozhao, you're getting more and more stingy."

The speaker was Fu Le, the granddaughter of Grandpa Fu. She and Yun Zhaozhao were about the same age, but they had never gotten along since childhood and were always fighting. They had fought and complained about each other a lot when they were young.

However, Yun Zhaozhao did not dislike her.

Hearing Fu Le's words, Yun Zhaozhao blinked and said, "You know my family's situation, of course I can't be as generous as before."

"you……"

Fu Le was speechless at Yun Zhaozhao's shamelessness. Seeing her grandfather glaring at her unhappily, she angrily took the gift and said:

"I'd like to see what you've brought."

She opened it and glanced at it. Her eyes lit up, as if she had caught something red-handed. She raised her voice and said, "Yun Zhaozhao, being stingy is one thing, but now you're even lying."

How dare you admit that you made this?

As she spoke, as if afraid others wouldn't know, she held up what she was holding, "Look, does this look like something Yun Zhaozhao made?"
