Chapter 100: Men's Intuition

Pei Jian counted the days and found that it had been seven days since he last saw Nian Xi.

Considering that Gu Ci had just left, Nianxi would not be in a very happy mood, and he was even more afraid that she would be annoyed, so he endured it and did not dare to appear around her frequently.

When he was just reborn, he lost the initiative because he was too self-righteous, and Gu Ci took advantage of the opportunity.

Now that Gu Ci has passed away and cannot come back, he has no worries and has time to slowly reconcile with Nian Xi.

During these days, Pei Jian collected a lot of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings to please his father Wen.

But at the entrance of Yiqiao Street, Wen Qingheng was seen accompanying a handsome young man, chatting and laughing as they entered the Wen Mansion.

Zhou Yanli.

After seeing clearly who the young man was, Pei Jian was almost stunned.

When did Zhou Yanli have any contact with the Wen family?

He never knew their origin.

Zhou Yanli was from Empress Lu's mother's family. After entering the government, he naturally joined the Jing Wang faction and became his political enemy. Moreover, this person was cunning and cunning, and was used to doing shady things. He was a very difficult and ruthless character.

Seeing him, Pei Jian's originally good mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.

It's not that I'm afraid.

In his previous life, Pei Jian was able to support the prince to ascend the throne, and now he is not afraid of anyone.

He was just a little worried, thinking of a possibility that things might get out of control again.

There are simply too many men in this world.

After Gu Ci left, Zhou Yanli came.

Nianxi likes handsome men. No matter whether it is him or Gu Ci, they are consistent in some aspects.

Zhou Yanli is handsome and has an even better appearance. Moreover, he is still very young.

Pei Jian suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis and urgency.

At some point, he really wanted to meet Nianxi immediately and ask her if she knew Zhou Yanli and whether she would be attracted to a man like this?

Impulsiveness and impatience swept over him again.

His sanity was collapsing rapidly, and in almost an instant, he was already walking towards the direction of "Half a Cup of Floating Life".

He even wanted to get her guarantee that she would not fall in love with the young man at home.

Fortunately, the remaining bit of rationality stopped him.

Based on what?

What can Nianxi rely on to promise him?

How can I tell him about his relationship with Zhou Yanli?

If he did this, it would be the same as the previous times. Not only would he not get the answer he wanted, but he would also push her further away.

Their relationship had just reconciled.

Pei Jian finally stopped.

Then, he saw Nian Xi returning home. It was not until the end of the evening that Zhou Yanli said goodbye and left the Wen Mansion.

On the way back home, he searched through all his memories about Zhou Yanli. Then he suddenly remembered that Zhou Yanli was from Jinling, and before Nianxi returned to Beijing, his father-in-law had worked in Jinling for several years!

They knew each other a long time ago...

Pei Yan's face became increasingly gloomy.

He thought back to his previous life, and realized that Zhou Yanli had never been married until his rebirth.

There was also a colleague who wanted to propose marriage to Zhou Yanli, but he brushed it off by saying that he already had a beautiful woman in his heart.

They were all men, and it was a banquet, so no one took his words seriously.

Now that I think about it carefully, it's really shocking.

Pei Jian didn't know whether his guess was right or not, but sometimes, a man's intuition was terrifyingly accurate!

No wonder Zhou Yanli targeted him like that in the court!

During this period, he thought carefully that it was very easy to like a girl like Nianxi who had an outstanding family background, appearance, and personality.

You can tell just by looking at the reviews.

But in his previous life, until they got married, he didn't realize how precious his wife was.

She gave him all her love and enough sense of security. He didn't even have to worry about resigning. However, he didn't know how to cherish her and wasted her feelings.

At that time, he never thought that one day she would leave him.

…

In "Half a Cup of Floating Life", Nian Xi asked the kitchen to prepare a few more drinks and snacks, and instructed them to pack them and send them to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion.

Wang Muyi laughed and said, "Lu Xiaoqi just took away a big bag yesterday. Are you going to curry favor with your seventh brother so early in the morning?"

Nian Xi knew she was joking, so she deliberately asked, "Jealous?"

Wang Muyi made two "tsk tsk" sounds and rolled his eyes to the sky, "Be careful or he will think you are coveting his father."

Nian Xi couldn't help laughing, "Actually you two should become sworn brothers. If you think so, you'll have more topics to talk about with Lu Huai."

"This is for the second wife of the Duke of Fuguo. He is the younger brother of my neighbor when I was in Nanjing. He came to the capital and stayed at the Duke of Fuguo's mansion. When he mentioned our shop yesterday, I agreed to send him a few portions to try."

"Neighbor's little brother? Is he the handsome and well-behaved one you mentioned?" Wang Muyi immediately wanted to say, "How old is he? Is he much younger than you?"

Nian Xi glanced at her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Wang Muyi argued, "You didn't think about it that way, so how do you know I was just imagining things?"

"When I was a kid, I was naughty and we often played together. Now we are both grown up, and he wants to study in the Imperial College and take the imperial examinations, so it's not easy to be together as before. I am sending this food to fulfill our childhood friendship."

And I am grateful to him for holding an umbrella for me when it snowed heavily.

Wang Muyi saw that she was talking in a normal way, so she lost interest. "That's right. You just left after resigning. It will take at least ten days or half a month for you to calm down before you can talk about it."

Just as I was about to say something cheerful, I heard a few maids pointing at the window and laughing in low voices.

At this time of year, "Fu Sheng Ban Guan" was very quiet, with few guests. Neither Wang Muyi nor Nian Xi was a person who treated servants harshly, so the maids gathered together to chat and laugh to relieve boredom.

"What's wrong?" Wang Muyi asked.

A maid blushed and said, "Madam, look outside the window. That gentleman has been standing there for quite a while."

Wang Muyi was curious and walked towards the window. She immediately saw Pei Jian standing across the street with a lonely look on his face. Because of his outstanding temperament and handsome appearance, people who passed by, especially the ladies, would turn around to look at him.

Wang Muyi controlled the arc of his mouth and said to Nianxi, "Nian'er, someone is waiting for you."

It seems that Nianxi won’t be able to wait ten days or half a month to calm down.

Nian Xi stood up to take a look. Pei Jian seemed to have sensed something and raised his head, meeting her eyes across the bustling street.

Wang Muyi had felt earlier that Pei Jian’s eyes were not innocent when he looked at Nianxi, and now, her guess has come true!

As soon as Gu resigned and left, he couldn't wait to pry open the wall.

Men's friendship

"Is he here to show his concern for you on behalf of his good brother?"

Wang Muyi loved to join in the excitement, and asked Nianxi with a smile, "My good brother is on the battlefield, and he is here to bring warmth?"

Before cousin Mu could say anything like "the touching brotherhood", Nian Xi walked out quickly.

Even so, Wang Muyi's teasing voice could still be heard from behind, "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you just ask him to wait a little longer?"
