Xu Nian never expected that after watching the concert, Pei Zhuo would propose to her in such a high-profile manner on the spot.
For a while, the fans who came to the concert took pictures of the two of them and cheered them on.
Xu Nian lowered her head and accepted Pei Zhuo's roses, seemingly shy, but in fact she never accepted his marriage proposal.
Seeing this, Pei Zhuo leaned close to Xu Nian's ear and whispered, "Niannian, it's okay if you don't agree. From today onwards, the trending topics will all be about my successful marriage proposal to you."
"Pei Zhuo, can't you have any shame?" Xu Nian glared at him. He was sure she wouldn't embarrass him, so he deliberately arranged this scene.
"Have some shame. How could I have tricked you into my hands without this face?" Pei Zhuo said shamelessly, leaving Xu Nian speechless.
Someone at the scene recognized Pei Zhuo as the founder of Xinhui Entertainment. The news of the proposal was posted online and immediately became a trending topic.
After proposing, Pei Zhuo left the concert with Xu Nian, beaming with joy.
As soon as the two got into the car, Zhou Lingjing called.
Pei Zhuo gestured for Xu Nian to answer the phone. When the call connected, Zhou Lingjing's angry voice came through the receiver. "Niannian, how could you agree to Pei Zhuo's proposal? What about me? What am I supposed to do? Don't you want me anymore?"
“Ah Jing, I didn’t agree. That’s all made up by the media.” As soon as Xu Nian finished speaking, she felt Pei Zhuo’s eyes turn dangerous.
He was still smiling, but that smile gave her the creeps.
"Niannian, when are you coming back?" Zhou Lingjing's voice was much calmer, not as angry as before.
“Niannian and I are going to the beach to watch the sunrise, so we won’t be going back today,” Pei Zhuo interjected.
"Pei Zhuo, it's only eleven o'clock now. What kind of sunrise are you taking Niannian to see? Bring her back." Zhou Lingjing sneered on the other end of the phone, his anger, which had just been suppressed, instantly flared up again.
"Zhou Lingjing, why should I listen to you? I'm not sending Nian Nian back. Forget about it!" Pei Zhu snatched Xu Nian's phone and hung up.
To prevent Zhou Lingjing from calling again, he turned off both of their phones.
Watching his actions, Xu Nian felt a bad premonition. "Pei Zhuo, I don't want to watch the sunrise, let's go back, okay?"
"What are you afraid of, Niannian? We can go back after watching the sunrise!" Pei Zhuo deliberately dragged out his words, his sarcastic tone making him seem a bit neurotic.
The car started and sped along the road like an arrow.
"Pei Zhuo, can you please not drive so fast?" Xu Nian's hand gripping the seatbelt was so tense that it turned white.
"Tch! So afraid of dying with me?" Pei Zhuo said unhappily, but still slowed down the car.
Xu Nian's complexion improved, and she began to take stock of the situation on both sides of the road.
After watching for a few minutes, she realized that the car was driving further and further away from the brightly lit city center.
Through the car's headlights, she could vaguely see the rice paddies along the roadside.
It was already autumn, and the rice paddies were filled with a cacophony of insect chirps, the sharp, piercing sounds stimulating one's eardrums.
The car suddenly stopped, and Xu Nian turned her head in confusion, looking at Pei Zhuo with her eyes asking why he had suddenly stopped.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Pei Zhuo turned his head to look at her, his smile ambiguous.
"Pei Zhuo, is there something wrong with the car?" The two of them were in a confined space, and the other person was not in a good condition. Xu Nian was frantically warning herself.
"Niannian, there are still several hours until dawn. Let's do something else before then!" Pei Zhuo unbuckled his seatbelt and approached Xu Nian.
Seeing him approach, Xu Nian's eyes twitched, and she unbuckled her seatbelt, intending to get out of the car.
However, the car doors had already been locked, leaving her with nowhere to escape.
"Niannian, why are you running?" Pei Zhuo pressed her down in the passenger seat, lowered the seat, and pulled her into his arms.
"Pei Zhuo." Xu Nian's voice began to tremble, and the panic on her face caused all the anger in Pei Zhuo's heart to burst forth.
He grabbed Xu Nian's chin, looked directly into her eyes, and said, "Niannian, you said you like both me and Zhou Lingjing, so why don't you want me to touch you?"
"Pei Zhuo, I think this kind of thing should be saved for the wedding," Xu Nian said with a forced smile.
Pei Zhuo looked at the delicate girl in his arms, a hint of melancholy in his smile. "Niannian, do you really want to save it for your wedding? Or are you keeping your chastity for someone else?"
Xu Nian's pupils contracted, then she smiled with a slightly unfocused look in her eyes: "Pei Zhuo, what nonsense are you talking about? Who would I remain chaste for?"
"Since that's the case, Niannian, will you give yourself to me?" Pei Zhuo's eyes burned, and a large hand landed on Xu Nian's waist.
"Pei Zhuo, no!" Xu Nian suddenly grabbed that hand, resisting what was about to happen.
"Niannian, why can't I? You want to leave it to Zhou Lingjing, don't you?" Pei Zhuo gripped Xu Nian's hand, his expression gradually turning sorrowful, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
"Pei Zhuo, I'm afraid of pain, I don't want to be here." Xu Nian pitifully feigned weakness, trying to calm Pei Zhuo down first.
But then darkness fell before her eyes. Pei Zhuo covered her eyes and said to her in a hoarse voice, "Niannian, don't look at me like that."
"..." Xu Nian understood; at this moment, whatever she said or did would be wrong.
Pei Zhuo is two-faced; there's a dividing line between him and normal people. If he crosses that line, he's a madman.
The point that triggered that line was Xu Nian.
A tender kiss landed between their ears, and he gazed at her with longing, his eyes burning with desire.
Just when Xu Nian thought she was doomed, Pei Zhuo grabbed her hands...
After a long while, a soft hum escaped his lips. "Niannian, when are we going to register our marriage?"
"When do you want to go?" Xu Nian stared blankly at the car roof, letting Pei Zhuo wash her hands with mineral water.
Pei Zhuo: "Tomorrow."
He could only feel at ease if he got the marriage certificate as soon as possible.
"Tomorrow?" Xu Nian's eyes flickered. It seemed that she would have to use Zhou Lingjing to get rid of Pei Zhuo tomorrow.
"Niannian, did you agree?" Pei Zhuo looked at her with delight.
"Hmm!" Xu Nian hummed lazily, slowly closing her eyes to hide her thoughts.
Upon receiving confirmation, Pei Zhuo was overjoyed and couldn't help but hug and kiss the person again.
After his initial excitement subsided, Pei Zhuo addressed his doubts. "Niannian, what are you trying to achieve by keeping me and Zhou Lingjing hanging on like this?"
Xu Nian looked at him speechlessly. When did she dangle them like that? They were the ones who climbed up to her on their own.
I'd only known her for a day or two, and all I was thinking about was getting her into the marriage registry. Now I'm turning around and blaming her.
Xu Nian said irritably, "I'm doing this for your pleasure."
"What about Fu Nian?" Pei Zhuo suddenly asked.
He kept his eyes on Xu Nian as he asked the question, not missing a single unusual expression on her face.
Xu Nian asked in confusion, "What Fu Nian?"
"It's nothing!" Pei Zhuo smiled with relief.
If she doesn't care about that person, things will be much easier!
