Chen Yao was a little slow to react, "Huh?"
Pei Shuo: "I want to pursue you, is that okay?"
Chen Yao heard it clearly this time.
Pei Shuo: "Although I've never said it out loud, I've been wanting to pursue you for a long time."
It wasn't a sudden impulse, nor was it an impulse in the middle of the night. It was just that when the atmosphere was just right, he didn't want to hide it anymore and just wanted her to know his true thoughts.
Chen Yao smiled softly, her eyebrows raised slightly, "Pei Shuo, now change to video and let me see you, I will agree."
Pei Shuo paused, thinking she was just joking, but when she stopped talking and looked like she was really waiting, he said uncertainly, "Do you really want to see it? Then... wait for me to change my clothes first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yao heard a rustling sound coming from the other side.
She swallowed slightly and hurriedly called him: "No need to change, it's fine like this."
Pei Shuo paused after untying the belt of his pajamas, as if he suddenly understood something, and quickly tied the belt back on. However, he pulled the open collar open a little more, making it look even looser than before.
That night, Chen Yao saw the scenery that satisfied her as she wished, but because she could only watch it through the screen, she felt even more unbearable. The feeling of powerlessness of only being able to watch but not eat made her mood fluctuate.
…
In the next few days, Chen Yao went out of town to attend an event, and Zhou Xiuran happened to be going there on a business trip, so he went with her.
They checked into a local five-star hotel. Chen Yao brought Xiao Yin with her, while Zhou Xiu Ran brought his assistant.
Seeing that Zhou Xiuran seemed to be staying in the same hotel with them, Chen Yao was a little surprised: "Uncle, don't you have a house here? Why are you staying in a hotel?"
Zhou Xiuran: "It's too late. I'm too lazy to go. It's only a few days away anyway. Let's just stay in a hotel. It's convenient."
Chen Yao: “Okay.”
The front desk staff handed them the room cards one by one. Chen Yao had just taken hers when her phone in her bag suddenly started vibrating.
Xiaoyin quickly took out the phone for her and handed it to her.
Chen Yao saw that it was Pei Shuo calling her, but because her uncle was there, she suddenly didn't want to answer the phone.
Zhou Xiuran glanced in her direction and asked in confusion, "Who called? Your parents? Why didn't you answer?"
Chen Yao pursed her lips, silently hung up the phone, pointed to the elevator over there and said, "I'm going up. Don't answer it yet. The signal in the elevator is not very good."
Zhou Xiuran: "That's right, let's go up now."
…
After Chen Yao entered the hotel room, she called Pei Shuo back as soon as she put down her luggage.
When talking about his uncle Zhou Xiuran being here, Pei Shuo suddenly chuckled, "Are you afraid of him finding out?"
Chen Yao said bluntly: "Well, I'm afraid."
Pei Shuo: "He will find out sooner or later. When that happens, I will go and apologize to him in person."
Chen Yao was just about to ask what kind of crime you asked for when there was a knock on the door.
She didn't think much about it, just thinking it was Xiaoyin, so she walked over and opened the door.
When Zhou Xiuran stood at the door and casually asked her if she wanted to go out for a midnight snack, she was so scared that her phone dropped to the ground with a "dong".
Zhou Xiuran looked at her helplessly, then squatted down and picked up the phone.
At this moment, Pei Shuo on the other end of the phone didn't know what was going on. He raised his voice a little and asked worriedly: "Chen Yao, what's wrong with you?"
This voice...isn't it Pei Shuo?
Zhou Xiuran was stunned and subconsciously looked at the phone screen, and found that he was indeed on a call.
It's so late, and they're on the phone?
Zhou Xiuran narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Yao.
Chen Yao quickly took the phone back from him and said to Pei Shuo, "I have something to do, so I'll hang up first. I'll contact you later."
Then he hung up the phone.
Zhou Xiuran said bluntly, "That was Pei Shuo just now, right? Why were you talking to him on the phone so late at night? When did your relationship become so good?"
Chen Yao hesitated: "Just... talking about the follow-up visit next Friday."
Zhou Xiuran clearly didn't believe it and raised an eyebrow, "This kind of thing can be discussed on WeChat. Why would you have to call me so late at night?"
Chen Yao was about to tell him everything when Zhou Xiuran waved his hand at her and said in a deep voice, "It's okay. I won't force you to talk if you don't want to. I'll go talk to Pei Shuo and he'll understand."
As he said that, he took out his cell phone and called Pei Shuo.
Pei Shuo received a call from Zhou Xiuran as expected.
He answered all his questions one by one.
Zhou Xiuran: "When did you two start?"
Pei Shuo: "It's not as smooth as you think. I'm still pursuing her. It will only count if she agrees one day."
Zhou Xiuran: "Do you think that catching up with her will solve the problem? My niece has never been short of food, clothing, and daily necessities since she was a child. She is not easy to deal with. Whether it is her parents or me, we would like to pluck the stars from the sky for her."
Pei Shuo: "Well, I know. With my salary, I can't even afford to buy her a bag, but I get dividends from Enming shares every year, and I will go back to inherit the family business in a few years."
Zhou Xiuran raised his eyebrows: "Don't you always want to not go back to take care of those things?"
Pei Shuo: "My dad feels too tired and wants to retire early."
Zhou Xiuran: "Okay, let's get off topic. I just want to tell you one thing. If you dare to wrong Chen Yao, or just play with her or something, I will never forgive you."
Pei Shuo: "Xiu Ran, I'm serious."
