Now, the one who remained silent was Pei Jingzhan.
Yan glanced at him and found a moment while waiting for the red light to speak: "Pei Bingjun, are you angry?"
Pei Jingzhan's expression was indifferent. "I'm not angry."
Yan Qiao pouted, "She's clearly angry."
Look at those lips, so tightly pursed.
"It's not that we don't have money, it's just that even if we had money, we would still have to spend it frugally, right?"
"Oh."
Yan glanced at him, "If you get angry again..."
"how?"
"Then I can only apologize to you."
The light turned green, and Pei Jingzhan started the car and drove forward.
"How are you going to apologize?"
Yan Qiao pursed her lips, a smile blooming on her face.
"I'll apologize!"
She leaned in and gently kissed his cheek.
The touch was swift, the soft, warm sensation on his face vanishing in an instant.
Pei Jingzhan's hands suddenly clenched, and his whole body stiffened.
In the quiet of the night, he had pictured those red lips countless times in his mind.
Yan Qiao's lips must be very soft.
And this moment proved it.
His jaw tightened, his whole body tensed, and his eyes grew even darker.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Yan Qiao suddenly felt a sense of frustration.
"This apology isn't enough? You're still angry?"
Pei Jingzhan curled his lips slightly. "No."
He's just used to suppressing his emotions.
No matter how turbulent his heart was, his face remained calm and composed.
Now, even if Yan Qiao wanted to pluck the stars, he could build a ladder for her.
Yan Qiao stared at him, her eyes sparkling.
"So what are you thinking about?"
Pei Jingzhan stepped on the brakes, brought the car to a stop, and turned his head to look at her.
With his handsome face and burning gaze, Yan Qiao's cheeks flushed slightly.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Pei Jingzhan's gaze softened. "I'm thinking about whether I should post a few more updates on my WeChat Moments."
This loss of face was well worth it.
Yan Qiao rolled her eyes and said in a spoiled tone, "Even if you post a few more updates on your Moments, it's still not going to make me kiss you again!"
Pei Jingzhan raised an eyebrow. "It's okay, I'll take my turn next time."
His mood visibly improved, and the corners of his lips never left his mouth the entire way.
The luxury car sped along the road. Yan Qiao looked out the window, gazing at her profile reflected in the car window, then at herself.
My heart was filled with joy, and I couldn't hide my smile.
Back at the courtyard house, Pei Jingzhan parked the car and carried the fruit home.
Yan Qiao stood aside and sighed, "If only I had an orchard, I could grow whatever fruit I wanted."
You can make any kind of fruit wine you want, and you'll never lack fruit.
Pei Jingzhan put down his things. "What's so difficult about this?"
Yan Qiao got busy, boiling the glass jars she had prepared for brewing wine in hot water to sterilize them.
The bottles were dried before processing the fruit.
The fruits are all very fresh; just remove the skin or the pit.
Making fruit wine is actually very simple: layer fruit and rock sugar, leave a gap at the bottle opening, pour in double-distilled liquor, and seal it.
Yan Qiao smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said in a sweet, innocent voice, "Let's open it together when it's ready to drink!"
Pei Jingzhan asked, "How long will it take before we can drink it?"
"It will take two or three months. This is just the first batch. We'll make lychee wine in two months when the lychees are ready."
Pei Jingzhan was touched; the feeling of being drawn into Yan Qiao's life plan brought him inexplicable joy.
I'm indescribably happy.
"good."
Immediately afterwards, he took out his phone and sent a message to Li Qiao.
JZ: [To fence off a piece of land in the suburbs.]
Li Qiao: […Third Master, we're not the emperor.]
JZ: [Heh.]
JZ: [Can't Assistant Li do it?]
Li Qiao: [Third Master, what is it used for?]
JZ: [Orchard.]
After a moment's consideration, Li Qiao replied, "Our group has related industries under its umbrella."
JZ: [Not for sale.]
Li Qiao thought to himself, "Why open an orchard if you're not going to sell the fruit you're growing?"
Have capitalists changed their nature?
Li Qiao: [Why grow it if you're not going to sell it?]
JZ: [Yan Qiao likes it.]
These four simple words delivered a substantial dose of sweetness to Li Qiao.
Li Qiao: [In the past, the old man always said that Third Master was clueless about romance when he chose marriage partners for you. Now it seems that it was the wrong person.]
The person who can make Pei Jingzhan understand romance has arrived.
JZ: [Enough with the nonsense, I'm single.]
Li Qiao was hit with a critical strike of 10,000 points. How could someone with a 36-degree mouth say such cold words?
Li Qiao: [Third Master, before you called me in the middle of the night and disturbed my time together, I wasn't single yet. [Smile]]
In other words, his single status is inextricably linked to Pei Jingzhan.
Just when things were about to get heated, he got a call from his boss, and his girlfriend kicked him out of bed, telling him to go live with Pei Jingzhan from now on.
Now look what's happened! The instigator! The culprit! Showing off their love in front of him!
JZ: [A sincere piece of advice for Assistant Li: he could give up his high-paying job and choose a love that is hard to come by.]
Li Qiao: [[You bastard, die.jpg] [Eat shit.jpg]]
Li Qiao: [You retracted a message]
Li Qiao: [You retracted a message]
JZ: [Smiling face]
Yan Qiao's fruit wine production is nearing completion, with each bottle being sealed up.
"Put it in the side room."
The construction has been going on for more than two months now, and I think it will be finished in another month or so. Then we can put all the fruit wines into the wine cellar.
Pei Jingzhan first took a picture, and then helped Yan Qiao carry the glass bottle into the side room.
After putting away the fruit wine, he posted another message on his WeChat Moments.
[Want to drink fruit wine [Image]]
Chenwu popped up again: [Changed her personality? Drinking fruit wine instead of whiskey? What a sissy.]
The comment was posted and then deleted by him immediately.
Pei Jingzhan scoffed, probably because Xu Ran had twisted his ear.
Chen Wu fears neither heaven nor earth, except his wife at home.
Chen Wu: [Come on, bro, I'll take you for a drink!]
Pei Jingzhan replied: "[My dear nephew is so kind; Yan Qiao will make it for me. [smile]]"
Indulging in idleness: [doge emoji]
Yan Qiao came out of the side room and said that Chen Ge wanted to take over the Siheyuan to film a variety show.
Do you have any objections?
Pei Jingzhan closed his phone. "Go ahead and do it if you want. You don't need to consider me."
Yan Qiao pouted, "We're filming six episodes here, and there are a lot of people coming and going. I'm afraid it will bother you."
"I won't be on camera, so it won't have any impact."
Pei Jingzhan's meaning was clear: she should prioritize his own preferences.
Yan Qiao then replied to Chen Ge, indicating that she agreed to participate in the program.
Chen Ge immediately replied, instructing Yan Qiao to prepare several rooms, enough for the guests.
Each episode usually has 2 to 3 guests, no more than 3, including both men and women, and it's best to prepare three rooms.
They usually arrive on the first day and leave on the second day.
The next day, guests from the next episode will arrive.
Yan Qiao thought for a moment and realized that there hadn't been any major changes to the front yard; it was all just renovations on the existing foundation, and it was already done.
The courtyard house is so big, it has no shortage of houses.
There are several public restrooms.
But she didn't want people to live in the main courtyard; there were many other rooms available for people to live in, especially in the back building near the entrance.
Yan Qiao: [Accommodation isn't a problem, but are there any requirements regarding food and drink?]
Chen Ge patiently explained a few words to her.
Yan Qiao grasped the main content of each day's shooting.
Just like when she made the pavilion before, she did it all by herself. Now that there are guests, she can let the guests participate and interact.
However, they need to cook for themselves every day. As for ingredients, the production team will assign tasks, and they will earn points based on the completion of the tasks, which can then be exchanged for ingredients.
Chen Ge: [Just treat this as a leisure and retirement program, showing everyone your real life.]
