Chapter 284 Suddenly Angry
Lu Zuofan knew from the exclamation mark she sent that she was still angry.
So, what exactly is she angry about?
Lu Zuofan was very confused.
He called Pei Muye.
When Pei Muye answered the phone, his tone was very impatient: "Why are you calling?"
"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?" Lu Zuofan was already annoyed: "Are we still brothers?"
"Look at the time! It's the perfect time to get off work and have dinner and chat with your family. What do you want?"
"I didn't disturb you while you were sleeping, what's wrong with saying a few words to me at this hour?"
"What's going on?" Pei Muye asked. "Youyou is waiting for me to build toys together."
"I'll just say a few words!" Lu Zuofan was about to explode with anger: "I'm asking you, why do women get angry for no reason?"
"You're asking me this?" Pei Muye said, "How should I know? Is Jingjing angry? Or are you asking someone else?"
“Who else could it be but Jingjing?” Lu Zuofan sighed. “I don’t know why, but she suddenly got angry, and she was even angry when she talked to me.”
Pei Muye said, "That's strange. Hasn't she always disliked you? Isn't it normal for her to talk to you with such a temper?"
"No, she was fine this morning. Does Lin Xiyin ever get angry for no reason?"
Pei Muye said, "No."
"Then you're lucky."
Pei Muye said, "No one can help you with your relationship with Qu Jingyou. Don't ask me either. My wife is different from her. I don't know the answers to her problems either."
"What use is a brother like you?" Lu Zuofan said, quite distressed. "You can't help at all."
"I'm being lenient by not sabotaging you. I even made a solemn promise when I arranged for you two to meet."
Lu Zuofan said, "Can you really bear to see me grow old alone?"
“It’s not that serious,” Pei Muye said. “Don’t worry, there will always be someone willing to marry you.”
“But it has to be someone I’m willing to marry,” Lu Zuofan said. “I only want to marry Qu Jingyou.”
"Then good luck."
"Can you offer some practical help?"
"Shall I transfer you some money?"
"What would I do with your money!" Lu Zuofan sighed. "Have your wife ask Jingjing why she's angry."
"Speaking of which, Jingjing actually called my wife and asked about you."
Lu Zuofan stood up abruptly: "What did you ask me?"
"You asked me if I knew you could cook and make desserts. Speaking of which, can you make desserts?"
Lu Zuofan said, "Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I do this. It can clear my mind and is quite stress-relieving."
"You're really good at this," Pei Muye said. "When will you make some for my wife to try?"
Lu Zuofan said, "No problem. Then, when I go to your house, you can have your wife invite Jingjing over too."
"You're being incredibly cunning. Why should I expect something in return for just a little food from you?"
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” Lu Zuofan said. “Quickly ask your wife what she wants to eat. She’s pregnant, so I can make something healthy, green, and additive-free.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Muyi was genuinely moved.
He held his phone and asked Lin Xiyin, "Wife, is there any dessert you want to eat? Lu Zuofan said he'd make it for you."
Lin Xiyin had a bad impression of him before, but he apologized to her later, though the two of them didn't actually have much contact.
She wasn't familiar with him and felt embarrassed to ask him to cook for her.
Seeing that Lin Xiyin didn't speak, Pei Muye said, "Don't be polite with him, order whatever you want to eat."
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Anything is fine. I'm not picky about food. I like all kinds of desserts."
Pei Muye said into his phone, "You do it."
Lu Zuofan said, "Then remember to call her Jingjing."
"Tomorrow?" Pei Muye asked, "When?"
"Let's have dinner at your place this afternoon," Lu Zuofan said.
"You're quite impolite."
Lu Zuofan smiled and said, "I will thank you properly."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Muye spoke to Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin frowned: "Call Jingjing over? Isn't that asking the impossible? You know perfectly well that Jingjing hates him."
Pei Muye said, "Here's what you'll do: tell Jingjing that if she wants to come, she can; if not, then forget it."
Lin Xiyin glared at him: "Don't meddle in other people's business in the future!"
"knew!"
Helpless, Lin Xiyin had no choice but to send a message to Qu Jingyou and tell her the truth.
Unexpectedly, Qu Jingyou replied: Okay, sister, I'll come over tomorrow afternoon.
She was puzzled and asked her: "Jingjing, are you okay? It's okay if you don't come."
Qu Jingyou thought that since she was going to meet Lu Zuofan anyway, there would be many people at Lin Xiyin's house, so she wouldn't have to be alone with him.
That's why she agreed.
She replied: It's okay, I can do it.
Lin Xiyin didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, Lin Xiyin went to school, but she returned home early, arriving at around four o'clock.
I had just gotten home when Lu Zuofan arrived.
He was carrying several boxes, but because they weren't transparent, you couldn't see what was inside.
This wasn't his first time here, but because he didn't have a very good relationship with Lin Xiyin, he would only talk to Pei Muye and leave each time he came.
They didn't even stay for a single meal.
We can make up for it all today.
Pei Muye teased him, "You took quite a lot, did you really do it?"
"Want me to show off my skills at your place?" Lu Zuofan asked, looking around. "Jingjing isn't here yet?"
"No, I just called, I'm on my way." Lin Xiyin walked over: "Long time no see."
Lu Zuofan smiled at her: "Long time no see. I brought some food, see if you like anything."
"Thanks."
Lu Zuofan was a guest, and Lin Xiyin had no right to eat directly in front of him.
Pei Muye didn't care about anything else. He opened the box and took out the contents one by one, and was quite surprised.
"So many? You made them all?"
There was even an eight-inch cake.
Lu Zuofan said, "The cake base was made last night, and I've been busy all morning. We'll cut the cake when Jingjing arrives. There are several other portions, so you can try them first."
Pei Muye gave it to Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin has always loved sweets, and her appetite seems to have increased even more since she became pregnant.
She took a bite and froze.
The butter cookies melt in your mouth, with a subtle aroma and a delicate sweetness, making them surprisingly delicious.
Lin Xiyin used to find the cookies from outside a bit oily.
But this is just right; it doesn't feel cloying.
I tried the others, and they all tasted great too.
Lin Xiyin couldn't control herself for a moment, and while she was eating, Qu Jingyou arrived.
As soon as the car started running in the yard, Lu Zuofan jumped up and walked out.
Lin Xiyin was about to leave when Pei Muye stopped her, saying, "Since you've eaten their food, you should at least give them a chance."
Lin Xiyin said, "I didn't expect him to cook so well."
Pei Muye said, "I didn't expect that either."
Just then, the two men entered.
Qu Jingyou walked ahead, her face initially tense, but she smiled when she saw Lin Xiyin.
"elder sister!"
She walked over, and Lin Xiyin took her hand.
"Did the driver bring you here?"
"yes."
"Would you like something to eat? It was all made by Lu Zuofan."
What did he do?
Lin Xiyin pulled her to sit down: "Look, there's so much here, and there's a cake too. They said it can only be cut when you arrive."
Tonight, Qu Jianhang took Lin Youxing to the place where Yan Chengyu used to live.
We'll clear out our house for them to have a party.
The desserts for the kids have already been set aside and put in the refrigerator.
Qu Jingyou wasn't particularly moved by Lin Xiyin's words, and simply said, "Then cut it, remember to save some for Youyou."
Although I'm not particularly interested, it does taste good, that's a fact.
Qu Jingyou started chatting with Lin Xiyin as soon as she arrived, leaving Lu Zuofan standing aside.
Pei Muye was also nearby. Lu Zuofan gave him several meaningful glances, but Pei Muye didn't understand.
Left with no other option, Lu Zuofan had to send a message to Pei Muye.
But when his phone rang, Pei Muye didn't move at all.
Lu Zuofan kicked it: "Cellphone."
Pei Muye said, "It's alright, I don't handle official business at home."
"Take a look," Lu Zuofan said, placing it in his hand.
Pei Muye then unlocked the app, saw it was from him, and asked suspiciously, "Are you crazy? We're sitting face to face and you still..."
"See?" Lu Zuofan wished he could shut him up.
Pei Muye looked at it, then glanced at Lin Xiyin and Qu Jingyou, and then typed.
Lu Zuofan glanced at it and replied with two words: "I don't care."
Lu Zuofan told him to call Lin Xiyin away.
He came to meet Qu Jingyou, but although they did meet, they didn't even have a chance to exchange a single word.
He was so anxious.
Pei Muye noticed his gaze and stopped teasing him. He got up and pulled Lin Xiyin, saying, "You've been sitting for too long. I'll go for a walk with you so we can have dinner later."
"I'll go with my sister."
Lu Zuofan spoke up from the side: "Jingjing, I have something I want to tell you."
Qu Jingyou said, "What's there to say?"
Lu Zuofan said, "Just a few words."
Qu Jingyou could only say, "Then you sisters go first, I'll come in a bit."
After they left, Qu Jingyou said impatiently, "Speak."
"Jingjing, don't ignore me."
"We made a bet before, and we only agreed to meet, right? There was no rule that I had to chat with you, was there?"
Lu Zuofan regretted it in his heart. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have added more conditions back then.
"I know there's no such rule, but we can't just meet and not say a word to each other."
Whether I tell or not depends on my mood.
"Jingjing, can I ask you for a favor?"
Why are you making such a fuss!
"Just this one."
"Speak up now!"
"Exactly, if you get angry in the future, can you tell me why?"
"I don't like the look of you, I hate you, I don't want to talk to you, there's no reason why."
“It’s like yesterday,” Lu Zuofan asked, “You were fine when you were at my house, so why did you get upset when I sent you back?”
When he said that, Qu Jingyou thought of his car.
She wouldn't stoop to his level and retorted, "Who did you buy that car for? You broke up, can't you just give it to her? Don't let me ride in a car that other women have ridden in!"
"What..." Lu Zuofan was stunned for a moment before he realized, "That one from yesterday? I just bought that one."
"Just bought it?"
"Yes, I thought you would like it, so I specially ordered it. I just got it not long ago."
