Pei Yanli stood up and looked at his mother's furious expression. He was afraid that she would not agree for a while.
Fearing that his mother would cause trouble for the two sisters, Pei Yanli comforted them, "Don't worry, I'll find a chance to discuss things with Brother Xiao. Tomorrow, Sisi and I will take a day off and go to the Li residence to discuss the marriage."
Aunt Pei watched his back as he walked back into the house, feeling panicked and anxious.
This stubborn donkey!
After dinner, Pei Yanli rushed to the largest restaurant in the city.
Originally, he wanted to pick up Sisi and take her home when he got off duty, but he didn't expect that when he got there, he found out that the prefect had held a welcoming banquet for Xiao Yunchen at the restaurant.
All the officials in the government office went there.
He just came back to eat. It wasn't too late that day, so he should be able to wait for Sisi if he waited a little longer.
He arrived just in time and saw Li Sisi walking out of the restaurant alone.
Li Sisi was alone at the table and was forced to drink some wine by those people, but she had promised Nian Nian that she would never get drunk outside.
So she only drank one glass, and no matter how much those people urged her to drink, she refused to drink.
She came out early, and the group of officials were still drinking inside.
The night wind just as the night fell startled her expression. When she saw Pei Yanli waiting at the door, she was stunned.
Then he trotted over and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to take you home." Pei Yanli said naturally.
Li Sisi wanted to cry after hearing this. Pei Yanli's constant thoughtfulness always made her feel cherished and cared for.
She looked up at Pei Yanli, and somewhere in her heart she felt a sense of solid security, and the suppressed emotions in her heart unconsciously revealed themselves.
There was obvious guilt in her voice as she said, "Pei Yanli, Xiao Yunchen is injured."
Pei Yanli's heart stagnated, and he asked tentatively: "If Sisi is worried, I will accompany you to visit him?"
"I'm not worried about him!" Li Sisi pursed her lips, shook her head and continued, "Besides, he was drunk. I got him drunk. I even beat him up today. I didn't know he was injured."
She was talking to herself, but it seemed more like she was defending herself and comforting herself.
"Ignorance is not a crime. You are not to blame for this." Pei Yanli walked forward, took her hand and said softly, "Sisi, I have already told my mother about the marriage. You can take a day off tomorrow and we can discuss the details together."
Li Sisi's worries and regrets were instantly shattered by his words. She said in surprise, "This... I haven't told Nian Nian about this yet."
Pei Yanli lowered his head and said seriously and confidently: "She has always been watching our affairs. As long as you are willing, she will not object."
Li Sisi thought about it and realized that Nian Nian had indeed always known about her and Pei Yanli, and Nian Nian had also said that it would be a good thing for her to marry into the Pei family.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will go to the government office to ask for leave early tomorrow morning."
Pei Yanli led her back and said, "You don't have to get up early. Since you're going on vacation, then you should have a good rest. I'll go talk to you tomorrow."
Hearing this, Li Sisi hurriedly said, "How can that be? How can I ask you to help me with my leave request? You have your own things to do."
"It's just a quick word. It won't take much time."
Pei Yanli stopped and reached out to tuck the loose hair that hung down on Li Sisi's forehead behind her ears. His low voice was full of doting, "Don't you girls all like to dress up beautifully? That pair of Yanlan butterfly hairpins looks especially good on Sisi."
His cold fingers touched the tip of her ear, which was red from the alcohol.
Li Sisi blushed shyly, pursed her lips and chuckled as she said, "Then I'll wear that tomorrow."
Pei Yanli looked at her with her face slightly tilted up, her rosy and slightly drunk face full of trust and dependence, and her lips as red and tempting as a ripe peach.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly: "Yeah."
