Yan Qiao's mood was ruined by Yan Yaoyao, so she left without even picking the mugwort leaves.
Evan reluctantly saw them off.
"Aren't you going to eat before you leave?"
Yan Qiao smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'll invite you to visit the courtyard house later."
Evan was overjoyed and watched them leave with a smug look on his face.
On the way back, Yan Qiao was unusually silent.
Even Pei Jingzhan, who didn't have much experience in relationships, noticed this.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Yan Qiao glanced at him, "What, you still have the energy to talk? You weren't done talking with Yan Yaoyao earlier?"
Pei Jingzhan: "...Wasn't I talking to her to cooperate with you?"
Yan Qiao scoffed, "You two talked the whole way before you even saw me!"
She deliberately used a high-pitched voice, mimicking Yan Yaoyao's affected manner: "Thank you, Mr. Pei, for showing me the way~"
"Tch, you even led the way for her!" Yan Qiao's eyes were full of accusation.
Pei Jingzhan found it baffling. "Qiaoqiao, be reasonable. There's only one way to go."
If he doesn't take this route, which one will he take?
Yan Qiao snorted and said coldly, "Yes, I'm unreasonable. You can lead the way for her. She's more reasonable than me."
Pei Jingzhan: "...Don't compare her to you, she's not worthy."
Yan glanced at him and said, "Then why did you lead the way for her?"
Pei Jingzhan: "..." Is this never going to end?!
"I didn't show her the way!"
Yan Qiao gave a forced smile: "So what did she say? Thank you, Mr. Pei, for showing me the way~"
Pei Jingzhan almost laughed out of anger, experiencing a profound sense of powerlessness towards Yan Qiao for the first time.
He turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road.
He turned to look at her, his strong arms resting on the steering wheel.
"cell phone."
His posture made Yan Qiao feel a little guilty.
"What are you going to do with your phone?" She obediently took it anyway.
Pei Jingzhan took it and searched for Yan Yaoyao's WeChat account.
"I've blocked you," Yan Qiao reminded her.
Pei Jingzhan deftly removed the person from the blacklist and made a voice call.
A puzzled voice came from the other end: "Yan Qiao?"
I almost thought I was dreaming.
Pei Jingzhan said in a deep voice, "Miss Yan Yaoyao."
Yan Yaoyao's voice was filled with surprise: "Mr. Pei? Why are you calling me using Yan Qiao's phone?"
Pei Jingzhan said, "There is something I need you to clarify for me."
Yan Yaoyao hesitated for a moment: "What is it?"
Pei Jingzhan looked at Yan Qiao and asked, "Did I show you the way?"
Yan Yaoyao: "...What?"
"Just now, did I lead the way for you?" Pei Jingzhan asked patiently again.
Yan Yaoyao bit her lip, of course she wouldn't dare to play tricks on him.
"No, Mr. Pei did not show me the way."
Pei Jingzhan's expression visibly softened, and he said in a doting yet helpless tone, "Did you hear that?"
Yan Qiao curled her lips into a smile. "I heard you."
"Satisfied?"
Yan Qiao: "It's alright."
"Are you calm now?"
Yan Qiao glanced at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not angry at all. It was just a thank you to Mr. Pei for showing me the way. What's there to be angry about? I'm not angry at all."
Pei Jingzhan looked at her, who was saying one thing but meaning another, and thought she was just like a kitten throwing a tantrum, which was extremely cute.
He couldn't resist reaching out and ruffling her hair.
"Okay, you're not angry. I'm the one who wanted to explain to you."
At this moment, Yan Yaoyao's voice appeared out of place: "Mr. Pei..."
Pei Jingzhan then remembered that the call hadn't ended, so he hung up immediately and added her back to his blacklist.
It was done in one go, without stopping for even a moment.
At this moment, Yan Yaoyao couldn't help but send Yan Qiao a "?".
Result message: [Message sent, but rejected by the recipient.]
She was so angry that her whole face contorted in anger.
...
On the way back, we passed an orchard.
Yan Qiao asked Pei Jingzhan to stop the car, "to buy some fruit."
Pei Jingzhan stopped the car by the roadside and followed Yan Qiao inside to buy fruit.
Yan Qiao took a box of cherries, a box of strawberries, a box of pineapples, and a box of peaches.
Pei Jingzhan: "...Are you buying new stock?"
Yan Qiao paid the money, and box after box was put into his hands.
"It's not about buying the fruit; it just happens to be a good opportunity to make fruit wine with the green plums. In a few months, when grapes are in season, I'll make some wine."
Pei Jingzhan was walking back with the fruit when he saw the traffic police stick a ticket on the car window.
Yan Qiao quickly ran over, "Officer, let's go now, don't give us a ticket!"
Traffic police: "The tickets have already been issued, so we can't not issue them."
Yan Qiao smiled ingratiatingly, "We're just buying some fruit, we're about to leave."
The traffic policeman glanced at the fruit in Pei Jingzhan's hand and said, "How about this, post it on your WeChat Moments, get 10 likes, and promise not to do it again, then I won't issue a ticket."
Pei Jingzhan originally wanted to say that it would be better to post it on Tieba (a Chinese online forum) or just impose a fine.
Yan Qiao readily agreed: "Sure!"
Traffic police: "Whose car is this?"
Yan Qiao pointed at Pei Jingzhan without any politeness, not feeling at all that she was tricking him.
"his!"
Pei Jingzhan: "..." What a rip-off!
The traffic policeman sized him up. "Rich kid, huh? Looks like a fine is nothing to you. Post it on your WeChat Moments and get 10 likes before you can go!"
Pei Jingzhan's face was blank: "You should just stick it on."
Yan Qiao glanced at the receipt; the fine was 1200 yuan.
"Pei Bingjun, if there's a fine, it'll be deducted from your salary! Your salary for this month is almost gone!"
Before Pei Jingzhan could speak, she took out his phone, opened WeChat, and went to Moments.
"Wait! Let me take a picture!"
Yan Qiao couldn't help but laugh. "Pei Bingjun, give me a smile."
Pei Jingzhan gave a cold laugh, and with a click, the image was frozen in time.
Yan Qiao selected a picture, zoomed in and out, and found that this man didn't need any beauty filters at all; he was flawless from every angle.
I parked my car haphazardly on the roadside, obstructing traffic. I deeply regret my mistake and promise not to repeat it. I need 10 likes, waiting online. Thank you everyone! [Heart] [Image]
After sending the message, she returned the phone to Pei Jingzhan.
"You can see for yourself, just collect 10 likes."
Pei Jingzhan's post on WeChat Moments was so explosive that it brought out all the lurking CEOs in his circle of friends.
The person who instantly likes posts is always Chen Wu; it's as if he doesn't need to go to work and spends all his time staring at Pei Jingzhan's WeChat Moments.
Chenwu: [Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I took a screenshot of Pei Laosan!]
Xiao Yunqi: [Watching the drama unfold! Front row seat!]
Chu Xiting: 【。】
Zhang Yufan: [Son, so handsome!]
Pei Zuoji: [You little bastard, what a disgrace!]
Pei Xiang: [Hahahaha I bet five cents this post on WeChat Moments definitely wasn't made by my uncle!]
Li Qiao: [Oh ho!]
There are also some people who can only watch the drama unfold, not daring to speak, and can only silently give their thumbs up.
These are 10 likes; I'll collect them quickly.
The traffic police officer took pity on you and said, "Alright, you can go now. Be careful next time."
Pei Jingzhan got into the car and immediately deleted his WeChat Moments post with a sour face.
As a result, Chenwu got carried away and started having fun in the group chat.
Chenwu: [@JZ @JZ Come out and chat, you model citizen!]
Chenwu: [@JZ You just deleted your Moments post, stop pretending to be dead!]
JZ: [Get lost!]
Chenwu: [It wasn't me who told you to post this on WeChat Moments, why are you taking it out on me?]
Xiao Yunqi: [But we can't just scold Yan Qiao, can we? She prioritizes romance over friendship, right?]
JZ: [Get out.]
Chu Xiting: 【。】
JZ: [You get out too.]
