Chapter 334: Chapter 332 Stay away from him!
Lu Zhaozhao furrowed her brows, "Have you... decided to make a move against Xia Wenjin?"
Pei Huai visibly flinched, as if he had not expected Lu Zhaozhao to ask such a question.
He chuckled lightly and countered, "Why would you suddenly bring this up?"
Lu Zhaozhao shrugged, "Recently, although the scandals released by Xia Wenjin were aimed at the Xia Family, the ones affected the most were me and Fourth Brother."
Their family’s Mr. Song, because of this matter, had wanted to pack Xia Wenjin off to Africa to mine coal overnight.
Not to mention Pei Huai.
Previously, Song Keren and Xiao Jinglan mistakenly harmed Xia Wenyan with drugs, one got exposed in various colorful videos and photos, and the other ended up in emergency care from the distress.
She had also only obtained this information after pestering Sinian for days on end.
According to Sinian, this setup was not yet over, it was just a part of Pei Huai’s plan.
If Song Keren and Xiao Jinglan had such a miserable fate, let alone Xia Wenjin.
Pei Huai shrugged, his demeanor indifferent as he looked at Lu Zhaozhao, "In your heart, is your brother really such a person?"
Lu Zhaozhao, seeing Pei Huai’s expression of being wronged, almost didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She raised her hand to pat Pei Huai, uttering solemnly word by word, "It’s precisely because I have such a brother that I feel secure."
She was no saint and felt no pity or sympathy for those who had once bullied her.
After all, they had not shown any mercy when they schemed against them.
Why should they show mercy?
Pei Huai’s gaze fell on Lu Zhaozhao’s petite face, seemingly a bit helpless.
He sighed lightly and raised his hand to rub Lu Zhaozhao’s head, "If your brother were even half as smart as you, I would surely be nervous every day."
"..."
Lu Zhaozhao didn’t know whether to sympathize with her brother or with Pei Huai at that moment.
"Cough, cough..."
Suddenly, a familiar coughing sound came through.
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but feel a jolt at the bottom of her heart.
Sure enough, she turned her head towards the source of the sound and saw Sun Qian walking towards them gracefully.
"Zhaozhao, I brought the cold medicine, do you want to drink some first?" Sun Qian shook the cold medicine in her hand with a concerned expression.
Her voice was gentle, seeming as if she came because she was worried about Lu Zhaozhao.
Afterward, Sun Qian’s gaze shifted towards Pei Huai and she smiled, "Pei Huai, are you here to deliver medicine to Zhaozhao too?"
It was good that she had planted an assistant here to secretly monitor Lu Zhaozhao’s side after she left.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known that Pei Huai and the others had come!
Sun Qian thought about her timing of appearing just right, neither awkward nor failing to highlight her care for Lu Zhaozhao.
She refused to believe Pei Huai could remain indifferent towards her.
Pei Huai’s gaze swept past Lu Zhaozhao before it finally settled on Sun Qian.
He gently shook his head, his voice neither salty nor bland, "I came with Yanyan to visit the set."
Afterward, he raised his hand to touch Lu Zhaozhao’s head, asking, "Are you sick?"
The concern in Pei Huai’s eyes was genuine.
After all, Lu Zhaozhao was Xia Wenyan’s darling treasure. If she were sick, Xia Wenyan would surely be in a flurry of panic.
"No, I just sneezed, Teacher Sun might be a bit too worried," Lu Zhaozhao tugged at the corners of her mouth stiffly, offering Pei Huai a look that said "it’s all thanks to you."
Pei Huai could clearly understand the mockery in Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes.
He slowly lowered his hand, "It’s good that you’re not sick."
"Cough cough..." Seeing this, Sun Qian coughed a few more times, "These past few days I’ve felt a bit uncomfortable, maybe caught a cold, and I don’t even have a thermometer at hand, Pei..."
"Stay away from him!"
Before Sun Qian could finish her sentence, a displeased voice came from afar, causing everyone around to look in the direction of the sound.
Xia Wenyan appeared from a distance, carrying three cups of milk tea.
He tossed the milk teas into Pei Huai’s arms and pulled both Lu Zhaozhao and Pei Huai several steps back, keeping a distance from Sun Qian.
Sun Qian’s smiling facade cracked momentarily; she struggled to maintain a gentle voice as she looked at Xia Wenyan and asked, "Teacher Xia, what do you mean by this?"
Xia Wenyan eyed Sun Qian warily and said seriously, "Didn’t you just say you have a cold?"
Sun Qian nodded, her expression growing more puzzled as she looked at him.
"You have a cold and still don’t know to stay cautious? What if you infect my sister and Brother Pei?" Xia Wenyan looked at Sun Qian disdainfully as if she were some dreadful virus.
Even someone as seasoned as Sun Qian almost cracked on the spot.
What kind of ironclad straight man was Xia Wenyan?
She, a delicate woman, had a cold—shouldn’t he be caring and considerate?
And he even accused her in public?!
Lu Zhaozhao, standing behind Xia Wenyan, almost burst out laughing; if she hadn’t pinched her thigh hard, she worried she might laugh too loudly. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
It was really hard for an ironclad straight man like Xia Wenyan to find a wife, so...
Her gaze stealthily glanced at Pei Huai and then quietly withdrew.
As for Pei Huai beside her, he seemed unsurprised by such occurrences.
He calmly opened a cup of milk tea and handed it to Lu Zhaozhao, then opened another cup and brought it to Xia Wenyan’s lips.
Xia Wenyan almost instinctively drank the milk tea, the person who had just been all bluster a moment ago now completely tempered.
Sun Qian looked at Pei Huai gratefully, then said aggrievedly, "Teacher Xia, I know you don’t like me, but I really had no bad intentions. I was just coming over to bring Zhaozhao some cold medicine."
She spoke, pulling out the cold medicine from her hand, "I was worried Zhaozhao might catch a cold..."
"If you’re really worried she might catch a cold, stay away from her; it’s not like you have many scenes together." Listening to Sun Qian’s beat around the bush, his brow furrowed, and he snapped back out.
Don’t think he couldn’t see Sun Qian’s interest in Pei Huai!
His Brother Pei, such a great guy, how could he be ruined by a woman like Sun Qian?
He had heard more than once from people in the circle about topics related to Sun Qian.
Not only does she love to act like a diva, but her temper stinks too.
Their family’s Brother Pei is such a good-tempered person, why should he find someone with such a poor temper?
And this woman always stirs up trouble between him and Pei Huai.
If Sun Qian really got together with Pei Huai, he suspects they wouldn’t even remain friends.
The thought alone made Xia Wenyan burst into irritation.
He was absolutely not going to let Sun Qian have a chance with Pei Huai!
Hmph!
Thinking this, Xia Wenyan looked at Sun Qian with even more wariness.
Sun Qian’s molars were almost crushed, but with Pei Huai present, she could only continue to play the innocent.
She pursed her lips, and tears fell, "Teacher Xia... sob, you really misunderstand me, I..."
