Chapter 217 He Doesn’t Deserve You

After knocking on the door, Pei Jingxu found that Pei Huaifeng seemed to be away.

Just as I was considering whether to go back first, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Sister!"

Pei Jingxu turned around and saw Pei Huaifeng holding a bunch of fruits and vegetables in his arms. He tilted his head and looked at her with joy in his eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, Pei Jingxu reacted and took some of the items for him, laughing out loud: "Why did you buy so many things?"

"I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. I haven't seen many things. I want to try them."

As Pei Huaifeng spoke, he opened the door and let Pei Jingxu in.

Pei Huaifeng also wore a veil hat when he went out. In addition, the place where he lived was remote, so he only moved around nearby, so the possibility of being discovered was not high.

But even so, Pei Jingxu was still worried: "In the future, if you want to eat something or need something, just write to Hongyao and let her buy it for you. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone under the emperor's feet."

Pei Huaifeng looked at Pei Jingxu with a hint of helplessness, and smiled gently: "Sister, I'm not a child anymore. Your brother also knows a little bit of fighting, okay?"

At least protect yourself and get away with it.

Pei Jingxu knocked his head in displeasure, "Be careful."

Pei Huaifeng acted coquettishly and shook Pei Jingxu's hand: "Sister, why haven't you come to see me these few days? You promised to make snacks for me that day, but you didn't do it."

Pei Jingxu smiled and said, "I'll make it for you today."

Pei Huaifeng said hello and helped Pei Jingxu to make pastries.

Pei's father only taught Pei Jingxu the Pei family's secret pastries, and said seriously that rare things are valuable. If you want to make money, don't tell Pei Huaifeng the secret recipe.

Pei Jingxu had no intention of avoiding Pei Huaifeng and let him help him.

Then Pei Jingxu discovered that Pei Huaifeng was too stupid!

Sometimes he used salt instead of sugar, sometimes he added more water to the flour, and sometimes he added more water to the flour. Before the pastry dough was even made, Pei Huaifeng's body and face were covered with flour.

Pei Jingxu: “…”

She suddenly understood why her parents didn't give Pei Huaifeng the secret recipe for pastries.

——Afraid that someone would die from eating it and ruin the reputation of Pei’s pastry shop.

Pulling a piece of dough and throwing it to Pei Huaifeng, Pei Jingxu said speechlessly: "Go play with the dough and don't make trouble for me, okay?"

Pei Huaifeng: "Okay."

Sitting obediently aside, Pei Huaifeng fiddled with the dough while chatting with Pei Jingxu to relieve his boredom.

The last time they met was rushed. Pei Jingxu was anxious to redeem Pei Huaifeng and find him a place to live, so they had no time to chat.

Now that the two of them are together, it feels like they are back in their childhood.

"Sister, is Rong Xuanzhou treating you well?"

Pei Huaifeng still remembered that Pei Jingxu had married Rong Xuanzhou.

At this point, Pei Jingxu paused kneading the dough and continued, "I divorced him."

"What!?" Pei Huaifeng frowned, his face darkening, "Did he bully you?"

Pei Jingxu raised her eyebrows slightly: "No, I just... don't like him anymore."

Upon hearing this, Pei Huaifeng looked at Pei Jingxu with gentle yet distressed eyes.

He has always understood his sister.

If you like someone, you won’t turn back until you hit the wall.

If she said she didn't like it anymore, she must be as disappointed as if she had died once.

Pei Huaifeng smiled at her and said, "Then I don't like you. Sister is so beautiful, I always feel that Rong Xuanzhou is not worthy of her."

Pei Jingxu couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and raised an eyebrow at him: "Then who do you think is worthy of me, Xiaofeng?"

Pei Huaifeng thought for a moment, then looked at Pei Jingxu and said seriously, "I can't think of it. In my mind, Sister is the most beautiful woman in the world. I have never imagined what kind of person would be worthy of Sister."

After a pause, Pei Huaifeng continued, "But sister, why haven't I heard about your divorce from Rong Xuanzhou during my time in the capital?"

Pei Jingxu's smile faded: "Not many people know about the divorce yet, and the Rong Mansion hasn't announced it yet."

Pei Huaifeng nodded: "But I heard that the Rong family has split up, and the two sons of the Rong family have set up their own families and moved out."

Pei Jingxu scratched his face, not knowing how to tell Pei Huaifeng for a moment.

How should she tell her younger brother that not only had she divorced Rong Xuanzhou, but she had also slept with Rong Xuanzhou's brother and was about to marry him?

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Noticing Pei Jingxu's discomfort, Pei Huaifeng asked softly, "Why are you blushing?"

Pei Jingxu chuckled dryly and changed the subject: "Don't just talk about me. What about you, Xiaofeng? Have you met someone you like in the past few years?"

Pei Huaifeng curled his lips and said, "I've been wandering around and don't have the energy to think about these things."

Pei Jingxu looked at Pei Huaifeng with a bit more heartache in his eyes.

Before Pei Jingxu could say anything else, Pei Huaifeng blushed and looked at her sheepishly, "But I was able to return from the capital thanks to the help of a young lady. She's not in the capital right now, though. When she returns, I'll introduce her to my elder sister."

Pei Jingxu sensed something different, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Girl?"

Pei Huaifeng was about to pull the dough into a hedgehog, but he didn't even look at her. He just nodded repeatedly, his ears slightly red. "She's a very warm-hearted girl."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu didn't ask any more questions and just said hello.

The snacks were put into the steamer, and Pei Jingxu glanced at the sun.

It’s getting late.

Looking at Pei Huaifeng beside him, Pei Jingxu whispered, "I made a few dishes. If you can't finish them, remember to put them away, otherwise they will go bad."

Hearing Pei Jingxu say this, Pei Huaifeng looked at her with some sadness: "Sister, are you leaving?"

Pei Jingxu looked at Pei Huaifeng, smiled helplessly and nodded.

She has been out for too long and it's time to go back.

"Where does Sister live now?" Pei Huaifeng asked softly, "Since you've divorced Rong Xuanzhou, why don't you move in with me?"

Pei Jingxu smiled and patted Pei Huaifeng on the shoulder: "It will be soon. Once things over there are resolved, we can live together forever."

Once she can calm Rong Jianxue down, she will also be able to protect Pei Huaifeng a little.

Pei Huaifeng also smiled and said, "Be careful on the road, sister."

"You should also pay attention to your own safety. If you are short of anything, go buy some red medicine. Go out less and don't make enemies with others. Okay?"

Pei Huaifeng tilted his head and smiled: "Sister, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. How about you put me on your waist and take me with you?"

After nagging and admonishing him a few more times, Pei Jingxu left the house, closed the door, and told him not to come out.

Wearing a veil on his head, Pei Jingxu lowered his head and quickly left here, walking towards Rong Jianxue's mansion.

In a restaurant near the new house, Pei Jingxu met Hongyao, changed his clothes, and then walked out of the room and returned to the mansion.

After returning home, Pei Jingxu took Hongyao and made some pastries.

Hongyao was puzzled: "Girl, what are you doing?"

Pei Jingxu whispered, "Where is Rong Jianxue?"

Hongyao: "The eldest son should be handling the files at the Dali Temple now."

Pei Jingxu smiled and said, "Prepare the carriage for me."
