Chapter 214 The Goose's Domineering Rescue of Her Husband: Countdown (2)
Xu Wang looked at the date marked on his phone with a very serious expression, and his brows slowly furrowed without him noticing.
Pei Yanchuan keenly noticed this. He followed Xu Wang's gaze and saw the extra date marked on the phone.
"Is this some important day?" Pei Yanchuan's voice was gentle, as if he was afraid of startling the person in his arms.
"No, the 30th is the important day. You'll spend it with me, right?" Xu Wang smiled and looked up at Pei Yanchuan. If you looked closely, you could see a hint of worry in his eyes. After all, who knows what might happen in this world?
"Of course, can I pre-order a cake from Su Nan now, peach flavored?" Pei Yanchuan's voice was unhurried, his deep and pleasant voice soothing Xu Wang's somewhat restless mood.
"No, I want lychee flavor this time," Xu Wang said softly under Pei Yanchuan's gaze.
Pei Yanchuan unconsciously tightened his grip on Xu Wang.
"Okay, we'll have the lychee flavor."
"Awoo!"
Seeing its two owners suddenly sticking together, Nuomi barked unhappily, trying to get their attention.
Nuomi lay on the sofa, nuzzling against the two of them.
Xu Wang quickly hugged Nuomi's head: "Okay, okay, I'll give you an extra little cake as a reward later."
………………
In a dilapidated little rented room.
Zhong Ran opened the door, looking exhausted. He had been entangled with the Leng family for so long since his scandal broke, but he never expected that they would still divorce in the end.
To be honest, although Zhong Ran had only been married to Leng Yifan for a few months, he did have a few small advantages because Leng Yifan never put any precautions against him.
Zhong Ran originally intended to keep fighting with the Leng family, but to his utter surprise, someone in the Leng family drugged him. One day, he suddenly found that his health was deteriorating, and whenever he passed by Leng's parents, their eyes looked at him as if they were poisoned. At the same time, Zhong's parents were also ambushed on their way home.
Zhong Ran realized that if he continued like this, he would eventually be out of the Leng family. So he took the initiative to negotiate with Leng's father. The Leng family paid all the breach of contract fees on him in one lump sum, and he agreed to divorce Leng Yifan immediately and keep quiet about certain things.
The negotiations, which had been deadlocked for more than half a month, came to an end.
Zhong Ran shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these thoughts.
As soon as he entered the house and closed the door, his mother grabbed his arm tightly.
"Xiao Ran, how can anyone live here? Let's go back to our old house." Zhong's mother glanced at the room with obvious disdain.
Mr. Zhong sat silently on the dilapidated sofa, his head still wrapped in white gauze.
"Mom, can't you see our situation yet?" Zhong Ran was at his wit's end. He pulled his mother's hand away.
Hearing Zhong Ran's words, Zhong's mother chuckled and said, "It's mainly your older brother. Ever since he had that argument with you last time, he's become increasingly silent."
Zhong Ran's expression changed as he thought of his older brother. He didn't know when his once normal older brother had been completely numbed by alcohol.
Zhong Ran pushed his mother aside and went into the innermost room. He gently pushed open the door, and the room was dark. As soon as Zhong Ran entered the room, he kicked an empty wine bottle at his feet.
"Big brother? Hmm!" Before Zhong Ran could finish speaking, a pair of large hands suddenly grabbed his neck.
The door to the room was locked from the inside, and Zhong Ran could clearly feel himself starting to have difficulty breathing. He pounded on the large hand around his neck.
"It's all your fault! Why did you have to get involved with Pei Yanchuan? Why did you have to cause trouble for Xu Wang?" Zhong Yuan's breath reeked of alcohol, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Cough cough cough! If you're so capable of blaming me, why don't you go and pull Pei Yanchuan down? Do you dare? If you don't dare, you'll just be showing off in front of me." Zhong Ran's face turned red from holding back his anger, but he still looked at the person in front of him defiantly.
A few seconds later, Zhong Yuan suddenly let go of his hand: "I can."
"Cough cough cough..." Zhong Ran covered his neck with both hands and slid down to the ground.
"You'd better bring Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan down with you! I'll thank you." Zhong Ran's eyes were filled with intense hatred when she mentioned Xu Wang.
………………
The next morning, Pei Yanchuan got up early as usual. Just as he was about to kiss Xu Wang on the forehead to get up and go to work, Xu Wang suddenly wrapped his arms around his neck and sat up with him.
"Xiao Wang, let go. You can go to the company later." Pei Yanchuan reached out and patted the person in his arms.
Xu Wang didn't speak. He shook his head, trying to clear his head: "No need. I won't go to the company today. I'll go to work with you."
