Chapter 136 Year After Year
Everyone drank alcohol at the birthday party that night.
Pei Wu was slightly tipsy, while Lu Xiwen was simply using the alcohol as an excuse to do what he had always dreamed of.
When he stumbled and helped Pei Wu upstairs, a burst of laughter erupted behind him.
Lu Xiwen seemed to have no shame, remaining unmoved.
Who says top-tier people don't get drunk? He's completely drunk right now.
Needless to say, Pei Wu is usually easily swayed by a few kind words from Lu Xiwen, and with the added blessing of his birthday, he is even more accommodating.
Lu Xiwen was still grumbling about how he hadn't really celebrated his birthday since he was ten, and Pei Wu had forgotten to refuse.
In short...
The two of them didn't leave their room for five days.
Food is personally delivered to the door by the staff.
Once, Lu Xiwen opened the door and bumped into a waiter. Admittedly, the waiter was a Beta, but he could still smell the strong scents of both. The Alpha in front of him was handsome and beautiful, like a satiated big cat, but his eyes still held the anticipation for the next meal.
"Give it to me." The Alpha's voice was weary as he took the food container and turned around. As he closed the door, the waiter noticed the clear scratch marks on the back of his neck.
Pei Wu didn't even have the strength to lift her hand to drink the porridge, but Lu Xiwen was clearly very eager to help. He blew on a mouthful of porridge to warm it up, tasted it with his lips, and then fed it to Pei Wu with great care and satisfaction.
Pei Wu's lips were too weak to move after finishing her meal, and Lu Xiwen quickly leaned forward: "What's wrong, baby?"
"roll……"
This didn't sound like an insult. Looking at Lu Xiwen's blissful expression, it was as if he had been hit on the nose by a beautiful flower. He smiled and helped Pei Wu lie down, his voice as gentle as water: "Sleep a little longer."
Pei Wu lost consciousness almost instantly.
Anyway, once everything was over and Pei Wu had recovered and returned to the company, his pheromones were so strong that even the barrier couldn't completely conceal them.
Lan Zhe instinctively kept his distance, and a look of sympathy appeared in his eyes as he looked at Pei Wu.
Pei Wu: "..."
At this point, their relationship was no longer a secret within the company.
In the past, during internal discussions at Changrong, President Lu was not only the moon in the sky and the flower on the mountain, but also a human bomb and a love terminator. His sharp tongue alone was enough to make people back away, and it was unimaginable what kind of person could win his favor.
But after this person became Pei Wu, everyone felt... President Lu truly deserves to be a top-tier individual blessed by genes, to be able to find such a compatible partner.
Not good enough? Not at all.
Pei Zhu, an Omega who easily defeats a group of Alphas, possesses outstanding professional skills that can silence the picky and fastidious CEO Lu. Every time someone leaves Changrong, there are a bunch of people lining up to take them away. Needless to say, his own physical attributes are also impressive. Every year, the new recruits who join the company may not dare to look directly at CEO Lu, but there are definitely a few who can't take their eyes off Pei Zhu.
Among them, there was even an Omega who boldly confessed his feelings. Upon learning about Pei Zhu's secondary sexual characteristics, he was devastated and lost his mind, taking a long time to recover.
Of course, Lu Xiwen's covert surveillance is tolerable, but if an Alpha or Beta version appears, then the only option is to engage in a fierce battle.
Rumors reached Lu Xiwen's ears in the morning, and by the afternoon, this person was able to stroll around in front of the other party, "casually" hold Pei Wu's hand, help him tidy his slightly messy sideburns, successfully declare his ownership, and leave satisfied.
So much so that watching fearless newcomers forced to compete became a great hobby for the elderly in Changrong.
Everyone thought Pei Wu was going to be promoted, but after becoming a special assistant, there was no further prospect of promotion.
“Sending you to a branch office is a waste of your talents. To be honest, positions like vice president are stable, but you can only learn so little. You might as well come with me. Isn’t that much better than those professional courses that cost tens of thousands of yuan an hour?” Lu Xiwen said logically.
Pei Wu knew his ulterior motives, but she couldn't refute them. Lu Xiwen was a person who was constantly improving and surpassing himself. Sometimes, Pei Wu would gain a lot from a negotiation.
That's fine, Pei Wu is quite satisfied.
On the other hand, as Guan Yan's investments grew larger and larger, Pei Wu's bank account became increasingly full.
It can't compare to Lu Xiwen's assets, but it has achieved the economic freedom he longed for during his student days.
In June of the following year, Pei Zhen successfully passed the entrance exam for S University.
It should have been a happy occasion; Lu Xiwen was even looking for a studio to design princess dresses. But for some reason, Pei Ming was insisting that Pei Zhen not go to school and even hid the acceptance letter.
Upon hearing this, Pei Wu immediately made a phone call. Zhang Wenxiu answered with delight, but then made no mention of Pei Ming's mistakes and kept complaining about the family's difficulties over the past two years.
Pei Wu hung up the phone and drove for two hours with her bodyguards to arrive.
When the door opened, Pei Zhen still had tears on her face. Upon seeing Pei Wu, she couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
Pei Wu pulled his younger sister into his arms and coaxed her until she calmed down. He then signaled the bodyguards behind him to make their move. Pei Ming was still shouting when he was dragged out. This man, whom they hadn't seen for more than half a year, had become a bloated, unkempt, and slovenly young man with murky eyes.
The bodyguard had a strong grip; after two slaps, Pei Ming's eyes cleared.
“Actually, not having an admission notice won’t affect Pei Zhen’s normal enrollment, but you have to give it to me today,” Pei Wu said coldly. “Don’t make me say it a second time.”
Zhang Wenxiu and Pei Gaosheng stood to the side, unable to resist the powerful aura emanating from Pei Wu, and urged Pei Ming with their heads down.
Fearing a beating, Pei Ming scrambled out to find him.
Pei Wu told Pei Zhen to pack her things, and immediately prepared to leave with her.
Zhang Wenxiu wiped away her tears, saying, "I accept that you hate me, but Xiao Zhen was also raised by me."
"You won't be shortchanged on alimony," Pei Wu said calmly. "Stop harming the children."
As they closed the door, the brother and sister heard Zhang Wenxiu's heart-wrenching cries.
They kept walking forward without looking back.
Pei Zhen successfully registered, relieving Pei Wu of a major worry. The little girl truly "shone brightly" at the graduation banquet hosted by Lu Xiwen. Her princess dress was beautiful, and her crown almost blinded everyone. Pei Zhen looked beautiful and noble, but that didn't stop her from digging her toes into the ground the whole time.
Lu Xiwen was so engrossed in his art that he couldn't tear himself away.
He often comes up with strange and unusual ideas, especially after his younger sister Pei Zhen came into his life. Pei Wu turns a blind eye to it, only offering a few words of advice when the two of them go too far.
Life flowed peacefully amidst the occasional chaotic moments.
Waking up from her afternoon nap, Pei Wu gazed at the lazy sunlight lingering on the windowsill, almost losing track of what day it was.
"Get up when you're awake. I'll take you and Pei Zhen to see the fireworks tonight." Lu Xiwen pushed open the door and came in, his whole body shrouded in a misty haze of light, like Pei Wu in a long and quiet dream.
Pei Wu was watching intently when suddenly, Lu Xi noticed something, stopped, and turned around.
Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.
They fell in love at first sight and have stayed together ever since.
May every year to come be like this day.
A long wind swept in, carrying with it a lingering sense of love as it rose into the air, finally soaring towards the boundless and azure sky.
