Chapter 152 152 Lu Xuan: It’s not easy, our Pei Qi has finally come to his senses…
The big orange cat trembled its furry ears and looked at him curiously, "What did you say?"
Seeing that Pei Qi's appetite had been whetted by him, Lu Xuan smiled and jokingly said, "Kiss me, and I'll tell you."
Pei Maomao: “????”
There's something wrong with you, kid!
The "big orange cat" held his face with its huge tiger paws. Pei Maomao's amber eyes were filled with seriousness, and his little tail was wagging. "Hurry up and tell me! Otherwise, I will eat you!"
Lu Xuan's eyes were smiling, and he jokingly said, "Then let's talk about it in detail, how are you going to eat me?"
Pei Maomao: “…”
You kid can't care about anything, right?
Seeing this, Pei Maomao flicked his tail and stood up to jump off the sofa.
Lu Xuan quickly scooped up the entire cat. He then made a timely move to smooth things over. "Alright, alright. Switch back to your form, and I'll tell you."
"Really?" Pei Maomao asked half-doubtfully.
"Really? Why would I lie to you?" Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Hearing this, Pei Maomao cooperated and switched to human form. She put her arm around his waist and held him tightly in her arms. His palm firmly grasped Pei Qi's hand. "I just talked to him about the pros and cons of the marriage. Effie's Morris family is indeed the top of the five major families. However, it is wrong for them to take the initiative like this. Effie keeps saying that there was a child marriage between her and me. It was my father who agreed to it. My father has no say in the matter in my family. Even if he agreed, what would it matter?"
"What's more, they played this card first, as if they wanted to reserve me in advance. So what are the benefits? Although such a reputation can indeed bring me convenience in certain matters, it is, after all, something that has not yet been decided. If this matter spreads, it will put me in a disadvantageous position in future marriages. To put it bluntly, the Morris family is now playing a card of getting something for nothing. Marriage is all about integrating interests. They are only offering me empty things. Do you think I will accept them? Is this in the interests of the Custer family? Without sufficient benefits, can mere empty reputation impress my uncle, the head of the family?"
Bruno always puts the interests of his family first. If there is not enough interest in this matter, he will not be tempted at all.
Pei Qi frowned at Lu Xuan's words. He subconsciously clutched the corner of Lu Xuan's clothes and muttered, "What if the other party is really sincere and puts down enough chips? You're not really going to become someone else's son-in-law, are you?"
Seeing Pei Qi getting really anxious, Lu Xuan suddenly laughed. He couldn't help but pinch Pei Qi's soft cheeks, "Pei Qi, you are so stupid."
Pei Maomao: “????”
There's something wrong with you, kid!
Just forget it if you don’t explain it properly!
You're even making personal attacks! You're outrageous!
The angry Pei Maomao bit his palm and stared at Lu Xuan with dissatisfied eyes, like an angry pufferfish.
Seeing his irritated look, Lu Xuan couldn't help but poke him several times with his fingers. He patiently explained to Pei Qi, "Pei Qi, you're such a fool. Stagnant waters can't stir up any waves. In this situation, it's hard for you to break the deadlock. So creating waves is the best option. As the saying goes, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. The Morris family, as the head of the five great families, was the first to extend an olive branch to me. What do you think the other great families would think if they saw this? They'd definitely actively fight for it. Even if they don't have daughters, they'd try to borrow daughters and dig up those daughters from the side branches in the corners."
"By then, I'll be a hot potato. Do you think they'll just sit there and watch the other party reap the benefits?"
Pei Maomao's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "This way, they will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble!"
Lu Xuan tapped Pei Qi's forehead in satisfaction and said with relief, "Our Pei Qi has finally come to his senses. I was worried they wouldn't start a fight. The more they make trouble, the better it is for me. Then I can take advantage of the situation and avoid offending both sides. If I were a knife, whoever controls me would become the one holding the knife. Do you think they would back down on this issue? Definitely not."
"At that time, I will only have two choices. The first choice is for me to choose one of them for marriage. However, no matter who I marry, the other parties will be dissatisfied because they will not watch the other party become powerful. The second choice is for me to choose a stranger from outside of them who poses no threat to them to marry. Which one do you think will be more in line with their core interests?" Lu Xuan smiled and winked at him.
Pei Maomao raised two fingers and said without hesitation, "The second option, because the second option will not affect their basic interests and will not pose a threat to them."
Lu Xuan ran his fingers through his hair, playing with it casually. His azure eyes were like the dark ocean. "So, muddying the waters is in my best interest. I won't let you fall into danger, let alone become a target of public criticism."
Pei Maomao held his face, pecked him on the side of his cheek, and said excitedly: "It's really hard for you to think so far ahead! I'll reward you!"
Lu Xuan gently touched his forehead, his deep eyes reflecting Pei Qi's figure, his Adam's apple rolling, "Then can you reward me in other ways, for example..."
Hearing this, Pei Maomao got out of his arms without hesitation and said confidently, "Alright! I'm going to watch the analysis video Bert sent me! The game is coming soon, don't think about those things all day long! Just focus on the game, okay?"
With that, Pei Maomao ran towards the room. As soon as he returned to the room, he immediately locked the door. His movements were smooth and seamless, and he was as skilled as if he was guarding against a thief.
His communicator lit up and Lu Xuan sent him a message.
LL: "Pei Qi, are you deliberately avoiding getting close to me?"
Pei Maomao: “…”
Upon hearing this, Pei Maomao's face suddenly turned red. This guy still has the nerve to mention it!
Others do some proper exercise to improve their emotions.
What about Lu Xuan? Lu Xuan was sucking the marrow out of him, wanting to squeeze every bit of his strength out of him.
Pei Maomao: “…”
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Lu Xuan is polite, gentle and humble in front of people, but behind people, he is like a mad dog with endless energy. He agreed to do it twice, but later he couldn't remember how many times he did it.
Ah Xuan has no credibility in this regard.
Pei Maomao lazily lay on the soft big bed and explained seriously, "Stop daydreaming. I'm focusing on the game and conserving my energy. Don't even think about distracting me during the game!"
Lu Xuan: “…”
LL: “So, during the competition, I can only eat vegetarian food?”
Pei Maomao: "If it doesn't work out, you can just let Thumbelina suffer. That's called working hard to have enough food and clothing!"
Lu Xuan: “…”
Lu Xuan was so angry that he laughed. He calmly sent a voice message to Pei Qi, "Do you know that people who hold back for too long have strong fighting power? After the game, don't even think about sleeping tonight."
Pei Maomao: “!!!!!”
What's this?
This is a naked threat!
Can Pei Maomao bow to Lu Xuan's evil forces? He can't!
Pei Maomao stiffened his neck and said angrily, "Really? Who will be unable to sleep then? It's hard to say now! I might make you meow!"
Lu Xuan curled his lips teasingly, "What? You started talking in your sleep as soon as you lay down? It was a beautiful dream. Dream more, there's everything in your dreams."
Pei Qi: "..."
Is your mouth poisoned?
Although they lived under the same roof, they were never tired of exchanging verbal battles with each other through the communicator.
The next day.
This long-awaited battle has officially begun.
The team that wins the game first will be the first to enter the top ten of this National Cup.
