This was like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep; Pei An looked at Bai Yajing gratefully.
"Oh, I was away on a business trip for the past few months, and I just got back."
As he spoke, he cautiously glanced at the person in the rearview mirror, his palms sweating with nervousness.
Upon hearing this, Xu Wei's previously low spirits instantly lifted. It turned out he had gone on a business trip, and it wasn't because of anything else...
As soon as she was in a good mood, Pei An immediately noticed and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The rest of the journey was filled with conversation and laughter among the group.
Once they arrived home, Pei An carried all their belongings inside, not letting them touch them.
Bai Yajing poured him some tea and handed it to him, saying, "Uncle Pei, thank you for bringing us back. Have some tea and rest."
Pei An looked at her gratefully again, thanked her, and then took a sip.
Xiao's mother had a keen eye, and she had some suspicions along the way.
"Ya Jing, let's take the things to our in-laws and let them try them out!"
Bai Yajing smiled and agreed, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together, taking the things and leaving.
Xu Wei looked bewildered. The guests were still here, so why had they all left?
Then she can't leave, otherwise it wouldn't be good if no one would entertain them when they were brought back.
Fortunately, the two were already familiar with each other, and Pei An intentionally steered the conversation, so things returned to their previous state.
After finishing his tea, even though he was reluctant to leave, he couldn't stay any longer and carefully took out a gift box from his pocket.
He nervously swallowed hard and silently pushed himself in front of Xu Wei.
"Comrade Xu, I... I was shopping for New Year's gifts for my family today, and I saw this. I felt it would suit you perfectly, so I bought it. You... do you like it?"
After saying those words, his ears turned red, and he felt a little uneasy. This was the first time he had given her a gift, so it was understandable that he was nervous.
Afraid she would refuse, he quickly stood up and said, "My mom is waiting for me to come back for dinner, so I'll be going now. See you next time!"
After saying that, he walked away in a few steps.
Xu Wei opened and closed her mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word because he kept talking non-stop.
She picked up the box, intending to chase after him to return it, but unfortunately, her legs weren't as long as his, and she couldn't run as fast as him. By the time she came out, the car exhaust fumes had almost dissipated.
"Hey! Why are you running so fast?"
Why would you give me a gift? That's such a waste of money.
She doesn't easily accept gifts from others, especially from men. If she can't win them over, she'll think she'll return the gift next time.
She took the box back into the house, put it away, and started reading a book.
But as I looked at it, my gaze kept inadvertently drifting towards the box.
I haven't even turned the page of the book I've been holding for so long.
Unable to focus on the book from either side, and driven by sheer curiosity, she put the book down and went to pick up the box.
Carefully unwrapping the colored paper, she gasped the moment she opened the box.
Inside is an imported Pixnet fountain pen, which is very rare and can only be sold in foreign exchange shops.
It costs around 130 per tube.
She slammed the box shut. It was too valuable! She had to return it next time!
I carefully rewrapped the colored paper, put it in the drawer, and locked it.
Once she returned to her room, several heads immediately popped out.
A few people huddled together and whispered among themselves.
"With such an honest attitude, can he really win over Weiwei?"
