Chapter Twenty-Two: Thai Cool and Hot!
At the Pei family's old residence, Old Master Pei looked on with a lingering sense of satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad."
"Master, we have already identified the mastermind behind the online trolls." The butler quickly walked to Master Pei's side.
"Who is it?" Old Master Pei's expression turned cold upon hearing this.
"It's Pei Yan." The butler was both puzzled and somewhat expectant when he received this name.
"Pei Yan? The girl who came that day? Hmph, he uses all those underhanded tricks on his own family. Give that idiot a call. If he can't even control his own daughter, then I don't mind helping him." Old Master Pei looked disgusted when he mentioned his good-for-nothing son.
That very night, the sound of a mother and daughter crying could be heard from Pei's father's house.
In the simple village, the morning sunlight shines in through the windows.
Pei Yanchuan opened his eyes in the sunlight, and a fluffy little head was sleeping soundly on his left shoulder.
Xu Wang clung to Pei Yanchuan, his hands tightly resting on Pei Yanchuan's abdomen.
Pei Yanchuan felt a pang of tenderness upon seeing this scene.
Pei Yanchuan carefully moved the person on top of him onto the bed. Standing by the bed, Pei Yanchuan picked up his phone; it was already past 6 o'clock.
The security cameras in the hallway and living room outside the room have been restored to working order.
Pei Yanchuan changed his clothes and walked out of the room. As soon as he opened the door, he came face to face with Hou Yunqi on the other side of the room.
The two silent men nodded to each other, then walked into the kitchen in unison, each taking one of the two aprons from the kitchen wall.
The cameramen had already turned on their cameras and followed behind the two.
[They're here, they're here.]
Everyone's up so early!
Good morning, good morning, have a happy weekend!
[I went to sleep as soon as I logged off the live stream last night, and I woke up feeling refreshed this morning.]
[President Pei and Hou Yunqi got up so early.]
[I can't believe it, these two really exude the aura of married men in their aprons.]
Pei Yanchuan and Hou Yunqi worked together very well. They fried some eggs, ham, and toast, preparing some sandwich ingredients.
After preparing all the ingredients, Hou Yunqi made a sandwich with great care. He cut the sandwich diagonally into triangles and then placed them delicately on the white porcelain plate in front of him.
After everything was done, Hou Yunqi nodded to Pei Yanchuan and turned to leave the kitchen.
Pei Yanchuan also began preparing breakfast for himself and Xu Wang. Pei Yanchuan carefully controlled the combination of their food to ensure that the breakfast was nutritionally balanced.
Finally, he didn't forget to squeeze a glass of juice for Xu Wang.
When Xu Wang got up, the bed was already empty.
Xu Wang yawned as he walked out of the room and strode confidently to the kitchen door.
The cameraman knew exactly how to turn the camera towards Xu Wang.
In an instant, the two of them seemed like characters from an idol drama.
[Aaaaaah! Give the cameraman a bonus!]
[The camera work here is so good, directors should really learn from it.]
The air between them was thick with happiness.
Xu Wang crossed his arms, tilted his head, and leaned against the wall.
Pei Yanchuan also smelled the familiar minty scent in the air, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Just when everything was peaceful and serene, Zhong Ran walked in with a smile.
"Brother Pei, good morning! The breakfast smells delicious! Your cooking skills are getting better and better. I still remember when you were little, you secretly baked steamed buns and ended up burning the crusts to a crisp." Zhong Ran looked on with a nostalgic expression.
Xu Wang's mouth twitched. Sure enough, it was the protagonist's basic skill: flashback.
Pei Yanchuan saw Zhong Ran beside him frown and take two steps to the side.
Zhong Ran noticed this and her right hand, which was resting on the refrigerator, stiffened slightly.
[Does Ranran know President Pei?]
[Of course, Ranran is also from a wealthy family.]
As far as I know, the Pei family and the Zhong family were neighbors when they were children.
[Really? Does Ranran have such a powerful background?]
[But I felt something was off about what Zhong Ran said.]
[There is some tea. Why didn't Xu Wang greet him?]
[Is the person upstairs thinking too badly of people?]
………………
Zhong Ran composed herself and took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator.
Zhong Ran stood in front of the refrigerator for a long time trying to open the bottle cap, but it wouldn't budge.
"Um, Brother Pei, could you help me open this bottle?"
"Yan Chuan, I can't find the clothes I'm supposed to wear today." Xu Wang grabbed Pei Yan Chuan's waist before Zhong Ran could react.
"I'll get it for you." Pei Yanchuan looked at Xu Wang in his arms and gently ruffled her hair. Then, ignoring the embarrassed Zhong Ran beside him, he turned and walked out of the kitchen.
Xu Wang and Zhong Ran were left alone in the kitchen.
Xu Wang looked at Zhong Ran with a smile: "Teacher Zhong, you can't open the bottle cap? Here, let me help you."
Xu Wang turned around and casually took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator.
Xu Wang gently tapped the cap of the soda bottle, then picked up the mineral water bottle upside down and swung it from bottom to top.
Pop!
With a gentle tap, Xu Wang sent the bottle cap tracing a beautiful arc through the air.
Yunxi happened to walk into the kitchen and instinctively caught the thing in front of him with both hands. A bottle cap landed steadily in his palm.
"My God..."
Yunxi glanced at the bottle cap in her hand, then at Xu Wang's nonchalant movements, and couldn't help but swallow hard. Is this what weakness is? Did President Pei learn a pirated dictionary from elementary school?
[！！！]
[！！！！]
[Thai Cool & Hot!!!]
Is this still my beautiful, delicate wife who's too frail to do housework?
[As expected, lovers see things differently than we do (I love this contrast!)]
Xu Wang pushed the soda on the table in front of Zhong Ran: "Okay, drink it."
Xu Wang twisted open the cap of the mineral water bottle in his hand and toasted him.
"Teacher Xu is really strong." Zhong Ran picked up the soda in front of her with a blank expression and took a sip.
A triumphant smile flashed across Xu Wang's eyes as he watched the other person's actions.
Just as Xu Wang had expected, the crew members appeared in the kitchen right on time the next second, and she looked at Zhong Ran with a smile.
"Teacher Zhong, this bottle of soda costs 200 yuan. Could you please pay for it?"
Zhong Ran stared blankly at the soda in her hand. "You mean 200 yuan? My starting capital was only 100 yuan."
Upon seeing this scene, Yunxi instantly perked up; wasn't this a perfect replica of herself from yesterday?
Yunxi silently closed the refrigerator and moved the sign next to it out from the corner.
The sign displayed nothing other than a redemption chart for the drinks in the refrigerator.
