Chapter 612 She's Very Well-Behaved (Forty-One)
Shang Shang asked curiously, "What did Mengmeng do to you today?"
Everything was fine yesterday. Did Yan Lei confess his feelings to Du Mengmeng this morning and get rejected?
Yan Lei showed his phone to Shang Shang: "I sent her a message, a confession message, and she actually replied to me, calling me an idiot."
Shang Shang took the phone and looked at the messages the two had exchanged. Yan Lei had sent a really lame joke, the kind that was extremely cold, which implied that he liked her.
Du Mengmeng probably didn't understand the joke and thought it was boring, so she posted two words: "Idiot."
Shang Shang was somewhat amused and exasperated: "You drink because of this? You drink because of this?"
Yan Lei's eyes widened: "This isn't serious?"
Shang Shang sighed: "You... Yan Lei, have you ever thought that Du Mengmeng is a very straightforward person and doesn't understand these lame jokes at all?"
Yan Lei was stunned, his drunkenness almost completely gone. He looked at Pei Yanli and said, "Come and see, is it really that hard to understand?"
Shang Shang handed her phone to Pei Yanli. Pei Yanli took the phone, glanced at it, and said with a somewhat complicated expression, "Where did you get these? Can't you just send a message if you need something?"
Yan Lei was taken aback: "No... you guys really have no sense of humor at all. Isn't mine good enough? It's both subtle and interesting."
Shang Shang sighed: "You should spend less time online. If there's anything, just talk to Mengmeng directly."
Pei Yanli pushed Yan Lei, saying, "Clean up the room, we haven't had lunch yet."
Yan Lei said with a bitter face, "Then let's change to another private room."
After moving to the next private room, Pei Yanli opened the lunchbox and handed Shang Shang chopsticks: "Check if the food is cold. If it is, I'll heat it up."
Shang Shang touched the outside of the lunchbox: "It's still warm, no need to heat it up, just eat it like this."
Yan Lei sat down beside him, watching Pei Yanli serve food to Shang Shang and even help her pick out fish bones. He propped his chin up and said, "Old Pei, are you... are you trying to raise a daughter like this?"
Shang Shang chuckled: "No wonder you couldn't win over Mengmeng."
Yan Lei suddenly looked at Shang Shang: "What do you think I need to do to win over Du Mengmeng? Haven't I been good enough to her? If she has any difficulties, just one phone call and I'll drop everything and go there immediately."
Shang Shang looked at him seriously: "If you want to pursue Du Mengmeng, you need to change your way of getting along, right? You two are like brothers, how can she see you as a man?"
Yan Lei was furious, and finally angrily picked up his chopsticks to eat.
After thinking for a moment, Shang Shang still advised him: "You've known Mengmeng for so many years, you should know what kind of personality she has. She's a bit like a boy, not fussy about details, and doesn't think things through carefully."
"You know why she likes Shi Jian? It's because Shi Jian makes her want to protect him."
Yan Lei: "???"
Finally, she couldn't help but swear: "Is she out of her mind? Protective instincts? With her tiny frame, who can she protect?"
Shang Shang was both amused and exasperated: "See, you still don't understand Mengmeng enough. You should get to know Mengmeng better, then change your way of interacting with her to get her attention."
This is the only solution she can think of right now, after all, she doesn't have much experience in dating.
Yan Lei ate in silence, pondering the feasibility of Shang Shang's words.
Finally, he looked at Pei Yanli and asked, "What do you think?"
Pei Yanli glanced at Shang Shang: "She's right. You have a big problem. You should reflect on it carefully."
Yan Lei fell silent again. They weren't even married yet, and Pei Yanli had already learned to listen to his wife?
After lunch, Pei Yan had a meeting in the afternoon. Fearing that Shang Shang would be bored with him, he decided to take her home to rest first, and then see if they could have dinner together in the evening.
Shang Shang had no objections. Although she liked Pei Yanli very much, she was a very rational person.
She didn't intend to cling to Pei Yanli: "You just go ahead and do your work. Call me when you're done."
Pei Yanli was reluctant to part ways. He escorted Shang Shang to the gate of the family compound and watched her prepare to get out of the car. Suddenly, he reached out and took her arm, gently pulling her closer. He leaned down and kissed her cheek: "After the meeting, I'll come find you, okay?"
Shang Shang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll tell my parents that I won't be having dinner at home tonight."
Pei Yanli held the back of her head and leaned down to kiss her lips.
...
Not far away, Zhou Xiye sat in his car, coldly staring at the cars on the opposite side of the road. His secretary reminded him, "Minister Zhou, today's meeting is postponed by fifteen minutes. There is an emergency meeting at the Ministry of National Defense."
Zhou Xiye gave a soft "hmm" and drove away. He looked back once more and saw Shang Shang get out of the car before his brows relaxed a little.
The secretary was also unsure; Minister Zhou, who is usually very serious, seemed quite angry just now? Was it because the meeting was postponed?
After Shang Shang got out of the car, she waved to Pei Yanli and said, "Go ahead and get busy. Call me when you're done."
She watched Pei Yanli drive away with a smile before slowly walking home.
When I got home, I wanted to take a shower, but I couldn't treat the wound on my back, so I had to wait for my mother to come back.
I was lying on the sofa watching TV when I sent messages to Du Mengmeng and Wang Jiani, but they were both probably busy and didn't reply.
After thinking for a moment, Shang Shang sent another message to Shen Fanxing.
Less than five minutes later, Shen Fanxing called directly.
As soon as Shang Shang answered the phone, Shen Fanxing's voice came through urgently: "How is it? How is it? Are you together? What have you two been doing?"
Hearing Shen Fanxing's frivolous voice, Shang Shang felt a pang of regret; she shouldn't have sent her the message.
Changing the subject: "When are you coming back? I'm injured, aren't you going to come back and see me?"
Shen Fanxing chuckled, "My little darling, it's not that I don't want to come back to see you, it's just that Zhou Zhiyun hid my ID card, so I can't go back."
Shang Shang chuckled: "You just don't want to come back, do you?"
Shen Fanxing lay on the sofa, munching on an apple and chatting with Shang Shang. She was being well taken care of by Zhou Zhiyun, so she didn't really want to go back.
Most importantly, her assistant sends her more than a dozen messages every day, making it seem like the company would go bankrupt without her.
Fortunately, Chen Shuo is reliable, mature and steady. He has never called her once, probably because he knows that she, his boss, is unreliable, so calling would be pointless.
For important matters, they go directly to Shang Xingzhou to report.
After chatting for a while, Shen Fanxing solemnly told Shang Shang, "I feel that Pei Yanli is also a very vigorous person. You... still need to work on your physique."
Shang Shang exclaimed "Ah!" and then screamed, "Chen Fanxing, what nonsense are you talking about? Can't you think a little more rationally?"
Shen Fanxing sighed: "Look, what's there to be shy about? I'm just sharing my experience with you! And also, the first time hurts a lot..."
Shang Shang: "..."
She hoped that Shen Fanxing would never come back, and she didn't want to contact her again.
