Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Uninvited Guest
When Xu Wang let go of Pei Yanchuan, Pei Yanchuan subconsciously chased after him for a moment.
This subtle movement was clearly seen by Xia Yu and the fans in the live stream.
[You two are so sweet it's killing me.]
[Oh my god, President Pei actually pursued me a little more at the end, I can't take it anymore.]
[Chase him! Kiss him, Mr. Pei!]
[President Pei really loves it!]
[Mr. Pei, do you feel this isn't enough? We think so too. We'd like to request a few more minutes.]
[Upstairs, could you lend me your abacus for a few more minutes?]
[This is already the umpteenth wallpaper I've changed, but I'm very satisfied (happy).]
………………
The director, seeing the viewership numbers reported backstage, jumped for joy, exclaiming, "It's a hit! It's a hit!"
The director excitedly pulled the assistant director into dancing in the room. They'd made it all back, they were about to make all the money back.
The assistant director was completely bewildered by the situation until the director finally got tired, and then he realized what was going on.
The night wind grew increasingly chilly, and just as Xu Wang finished changing his clothes, a coat was draped over his shoulders.
"It's cool in the evening." Pei Yanchuan stood next to Xu Wang, wearing only a thin shirt.
"Then why are you still standing here with me in the cold wind? Hurry up and get on the boat." Xu Wang said with a smile, pushing Pei Yanchuan back.
But just as he was about to board the ship, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhong Ran's jealous gaze out of the corner of his eye. Xu Wang found it amusing; he had figured this person out. He had no ability whatsoever and was a fence-sitter, wanting to switch sides without even considering whether the other side wanted to talk to him.
"You go in first, I'll be right back with something." Xu Wang waved to Pei Yanchuan.
"Okay, then hurry up." Pei Yanchuan reluctantly let go of Xu Wang's other hand.
Xu Wang walked back to the deck, and Zhong Ran was indeed still standing in the same spot.
"Aren't you very smug?" Zhong Ran asked through gritted teeth, looking at Xu Wang in front of her.
He didn't understand why the result was so different from what he had imagined, even though he had made all the preparations before recording the show.
"Yes," Xu Wang readily accepted.
“You…” Zhong Ran was clearly surprised that Xu Wang would be so blunt.
"What? Can't I be proud?" Xu Wang never suppressed his feelings; good was good, and bad was bad.
"Don't be too happy yet, I haven't lost yet..." Zhong Ran thought of Pei Yanchuan's meticulous care for Xu Wang, and then of Leng Yifan, who needed her to coax him even for the smallest things. The red glow of jealousy in her heart grew even stronger.
"Stop, stop! Don't give me these victim declarations. First of all, I never wanted to compete with you in anything. You don't need to talk to me like a resentful man. I don't want to hear it or pay attention to it. As long as you and your partner don't bother me and Pei Yanchuan, I don't want to know what you're doing."
After finishing his sentence, Xu Wang yawned widely, turned around, and walked gracefully into the cabin.
Zhong Ran stood there alone, the cold wind making him feel chilly. Suddenly, he seemed to sense a dangerous gaze. Zhong Ran keenly looked up and met Pei Yanchuan's gaze from inside the cabin.
Pei Yanchuan stared for an unknown amount of time, his face expressionless, his calmness frightening, his dark eyes filled with indifference, as if he were looking at a lifeless object, and Zhong Ran was that lifeless object.
Zhong Ran fled in panic, feeling like he was being watched by a ferocious beast. He didn't know why, but he always had this feeling.
On the other side, Xu Wang pushed open the door and smelled the faint aroma of lychee wine in the air.
Hearing the noise behind him, Pei Yanchuan immediately turned around, a slight smile on his face, and looked at Xu Wang who had just returned: "You're back?"
"Mmm." Xu Wang took the initiative to step forward and hug Pei Yanchuan's waist.
Pei Yanchuan obediently held the person in his arms.
The two embraced quietly without making any other moves, but this simple action magically soothed their hearts.
Xu Wang didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up, he was already home.
When Xu Wang opened his eyes, he saw his cartoon goose pillow. The big cartoon eyes on the pillow were looking at Xu Wang with a cute and innocent expression.
Xu Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
There was a pink sticky note on the cartoon goose pillow.
Xu Wang rolled over, removed the sticker from the pillow, and sure enough, it was left by Pei Yanchuan.
Xiao Wang, there's some porridge left in the pot in the kitchen. Remember to drink some when you get up. I asked the housekeeper to order lunch for you, so remember to eat a little more of the dishes.
The note read "Left by Pei Yanchuan" in the lower right corner.
Xu Wang hugged the pillow and rolled around on the bed again before reluctantly getting off.
Xu Wang walked into the kitchen, where a faint aroma of rice filled the air. He opened a small pot in front of him, revealing a bowl of perfectly separated white porridge. Before drinking it, he took a picture of himself with his breakfast and sent it to Pei Yanchuan.
Xu Dawang: I've got today's breakfast. Thanks to President Pei for feeding me, mua.
Xu Dawang: [Photos][Photos][Photos]
Meanwhile, in the conference room of Pei's company.
Despite the sweltering summer heat, the conference room was so cold that people instinctively wrapped themselves in coats.
Ta-da!
The constant beeping of cell phone messages sounded unusually loud in the spacious and quiet conference room.
The restless crowd instinctively looked at the phone that the boss had placed on the table in front of him.
Pei Yanchuan picked up his phone, and upon seeing who had sent the message, his aura immediately softened.
Everyone else in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief, especially Assistant Yang, who was closest to Pei Yanchuan.
Boss lady, your message came just in time.
Pei Yanchuan glanced around at his subordinates: "I hope that the matter I raised today will have a solution on my desk by tomorrow morning."
"Yes, President Pei," everyone in the conference room said in unison.
Pei Yanchuan nodded, stood up, and strode out of the conference room.
Several minutes after Pei Yanchuan left, everyone in the room finally relaxed.
"Long live the boss lady!" A male alpha employee exclaimed with gratitude.
"I will always support the boss lady!"
"I'm a little curious as to why the boss is interested in such a small company as Zhong's," an older employee asked curiously.
"I feel like either I offended our boss or our boss's wife," a young female department head guessed.
"I feel it's only a matter of time before the Zhong family is wiped out. That guy from the Zhong family used to harass our CEO Pei. If our CEO Pei hadn't been too lazy to deal with him, the Zhong family would have been gone long ago!" The head of the public relations department shook his head.
"Why should we know so much? Anyway, the boss pays us, so we should just help him out," the head of the technical department said nonchalantly.
“That makes sense,” a male employee agreed, touching his thick hair.
Pei Yanchuan returned to his office, turned on his phone, and tapped the pictures on the screen repeatedly.
Pei Yanchuan slightly separated his index finger and thumb, zoomed in on the picture, and the entire phone screen was filled with Xu Wang's smiling face.
Pei Yanchuan looked at the smiling face on his phone and couldn't help but smile back.
Pei Yanchuan saved all the pictures, and finally selected two of them as his phone's wallpaper and screensaver.
Pei: [Pat head emoji]
Pei: I'll bring you peach-flavored mini cakes when I get back.
Xu Wang had just finished a bowl of porridge when he received the message. He raised an eyebrow after seeing the message pop up at the top of his phone.
Tap the keyboard with your finger.
Xu Dawang: Thank you, President Pei. You've worked hard. I'll give you a shoulder massage when I get back.
Xu Dawang: Master Goose is online.
Pei Yanchuan chuckled softly upon seeing the message.
Pei: Okay.
Inside the villa, after finishing breakfast, Xu Wang began practicing Tai Chi again.
After finishing one round, my whole body felt warm and I felt much more comfortable.
While Xu Wang was obediently waiting at home for Pei Yanchuan to get off work, Pei Yanchuan didn't arrive yet, but instead, several uninvited guests arrived.
