Chapter 46 Hunger and Frostbite



After Pei Zhaoan finished speaking, everyone present looked surprised.

Li Han suddenly looked at Pei Zhaoan, who returned a cryptic smile.

Viewers in the live stream were shocked by Pei Zhaoan's statement, "I arranged it," and flooded the chat with comments.

[I thought using drones was already a big investment, but I didn't expect them to become part of the decorations as soon as the fireworks started.]

Watching fireworks over the sea from the deck of a luxury yacht—is this some kind of romantic drama?

[Li Han, if you're tired of acting, let me act in two episodes. TvT]

[It's understandable that the drone was a long-held wish from Cen Zhi, but why did President Pei immediately send a fireworks display over the sea? It's like a marriage proposal.]

According to my cousin's friend, Li Han interned at ES Technology, a company founded by Pei Zhaoan, during her university years, but suddenly resigned during the internship.

【Huh? ES is a big company, internships are very hard to get, why did you suddenly resign?】

[It's said that the day before Li Han left, she prepared a data presentation video for President Pei. However, when President Pei opened the video on the USB drive in front of European clients, it turned out to be a Peppa Pig cartoon, leaving him speechless.]

[My god, if this happened to me, I'd run away tonight too!]

No wonder Li Han was perfectly normal around everyone else today, but acted like a frightened bird around Pei Zhao'an. What a tragic fate!

The fireworks exploding in the air constantly changed patterns, like opening a blind box, beautiful and wonderful.

When the last cluster of fireworks burst into the sky, the pattern created by the exploding flames astonished everyone!

A giant Peppa Pig head.

It shines brightly in the night sky.

The fireworks were fleeting, but this "stunning" scene was etched into everyone's memory.

[Pfft! I'm dying of laughter! Is President Pei blatantly taking revenge on Li Han for the time she caused his company's demise back then?]

[What? This was also arranged by President Pei?]

[OMG, I saw it from the other side of the river too! That giant pink Peppa Pig is so cute and funny!]

[Unexpectedly, beneath President Pei's aloof and noble exterior lies a cunning and ruthless soul.]

The light from the fireworks shone on Li Han's fair face, and Li Han opened her eyes wide like a startled deer.

Li Han's live stream features fireworks, a candlelight dinner, and handsome men.

Meanwhile, in He Qinqin's live stream room, after tidying up the living room, she was starving.

At this moment, He Qinqin picked up a bowl of plain porridge and ate it while chewing on some bland vegetables.

The contrast between the two live streams was even more stark.

Looking at it this way, He Qinqin seems a bit pitiful...

Is she pitiful? She chose this downward spiral of "freedom" herself.

[Si Jin had already given her a choice in the hospital ward. She could have gone to a private hospital VIP ward to recover, but He Qinqin chose to stay in this dilapidated basement, cleaning someone else's home while still sick.]

[I suspect that CEO Si's reason for preventing He Qinqin from dating Shi Yao and arranging blind dates for her is to avoid seeing this happen...]

[Emm, it suddenly occurred to me that He Qinqin could have been sitting on a luxury yacht, chatting with her handsome and polite blind date while watching the sunset over the sea.]

But she chose to stay in the semi-basement, her body still recovering, drinking plain porridge, inhaling secondhand smoke, and cleaning up bottles scattered all over the floor.

He Qinqin was drinking her porridge when she looked at Shi Xin sitting opposite her. Shi Xin had been holding her phone ever since she came in, her expression serious, and she hadn't said a word.

"Xin Xin, have you had dinner yet?"

Would you like some porridge?

Shi Xin nodded perfunctorily and then shook her head, her eyes fixed on the screen.

Shi Xin was watching Li Han's live stream when she saw the blind date arranged by Si Jiuyin in the live stream, and only then did she realize why she was being ridiculed by everyone.

She had never seen such an extravagant blind date scene before!

The TV series and novels are still too conservative in their portrayal.

The Si family is indeed a top-tier wealthy family.

Of these five men, I could marry any one of them and be set for life, not to mention they're all so handsome.

Shi Yao and Si Jin are the most handsome people Shi Xin knows in real life.

Seeing that Shi Xin was completely absorbed, He Qinqin finally couldn't help but ask, "Xin Xin, what are you looking at?"

When Shi Xin realized that these people were originally arranged by Si Jiuyin to be given to He Qinqin, her eyes darkened.

"I'm looking at the blind date that President Si arranged for you."

Shi Xin handed over her phone, her eyes darting around, watching He Qinqin's expression with a hint of uncertainty.

Netizens are also looking forward to seeing He Qinqin's reaction to these blind date partners.

[If He Qinqin knew she missed all this, her expression would be priceless, wouldn't it?]

[Perhaps these five weren't the same group Si Jiuyin originally prepared for He Qinqin; they might be people Si Jiuyin deliberately put on camera to clear her name.]

[It's impossible that President Si didn't show He Qinqin the photos of her blind date; I have a feeling he didn't meet her standards.]

Upon hearing the words "blind date," He Qinqin paused in her porridge-drinking motion, glanced at the handsome man on the screen, and abruptly shook her head.

"Looks like I was right not to go."

"They're not bad-looking, but they lack that Shi Yao vibe."

[Sis, what kind of feeling are you looking for? A stingy, greasy, and scheming feeling?]

I'm speechless. Some people are just a match made in heaven. I was just feeling sorry for her... now I feel like my sympathy was wasted.

[President Si was right to terminate the adoption agreement... Luckily, she's not his biological daughter, otherwise, with He Qinqin's intellect, she might have brought the Si family down.]

Shi Xin raised an eyebrow, concealing the expression in her eyes, and sighed, "Sister-in-law, you truly love my brother."

He Qinqin: "Of course, I like your brother as a person, no matter what his identity is."

Shi Xin zoomed in on the live stream on her phone to show a panoramic view.

He Qinqin's gaze was fixed on Li Han's dining table: king crab, foie gras in red wine, and pigeon marinated in Shaoxing wine...

"Glug—"

He Qinqin swallowed hard. The white porridge she had just drunk seemed to have no effect on her, as if she had just drunk water.

He Qinqin licked her chapped lips.

Shi Xin rolled her eyes and asked, "Sister-in-law, why hasn't Brother Si Jin come to see you lately?"

He Qinqin said irritably, "The agreement is signed, he's no longer my brother. I had a falling out with him at the hospital."

Shi Xin could tell that He Qinqin was in a bad mood, so she didn't ask any more questions and turned back to her room.

He Qinqin began to clean up the dishes and the kitchen, but at this moment she felt weak and unsteady on her feet.

"Gurgle—"

My empty stomach growled; three meals of plain porridge in a row were definitely not enough to satisfy my hunger.

He Qinqin suddenly remembered that when Si Jin visited her in the hospital ward, Assistant Jiang was carrying a thermos bag containing food from her favorite private restaurant.

This private kitchen doesn't do takeout, the owner is well-off, has an eccentric personality, and cooks whatever he pleases.

However, when He Qinqin was 17 years old, she was hospitalized and had no appetite. She mentioned that she only wanted to eat at this private restaurant.
