Chapter 336: Chapter 334: Why Is He Being So Sour?
"Brother Pei, do you have someone you like now?"
Xia Wenyan said this while staring intensely at Pei Huai.
For some reason, he felt a bit nervous.
What if Pei Huai really had someone he liked, would he start to drift away from him?
Pei Huai’s eyes lifted slightly, watching his lips move before extending his palm to Xia Wenyan’s lips.
Xia Wenyan reflexively spat the orange seed into Pei Huai’s hand.
This made Xia Wenyan even more upset.
Pei Huai was so good to him as a brother, he would definitely treat a girlfriend even better.
Once he had a girlfriend, he would surely dote on her and not on him.
Xia Wenyan’s brows furrowed instantly, and his complexion grew even uglier.
If Pei Huai had a girlfriend, wasn’t it natural for him to spoil her?
Why was he feeling so sour about it?
Of course, Pei Huai had no idea what Xia Wenyan was thinking. He discarded the orange seed from his hand and stuffed another segment of orange into his mouth.
Then he slowly said, "I don’t like any women."
Just one man.
Xia Wenyan’s eyes suddenly brightened, seeming much cheerier, "I knew it. How could you possibly date someone under my nose without me knowing..."
He said this with a clear touch of triumph.
Pei Huai sighed helplessly and asked casually, "What about you, do you plan on continuing with blind dates recently?"
Hearing the words "blind dates," Xia Wenyan’s scalp tingled.
That Avril wasn’t really a blind date candidate at all.
It was just because he hadn’t messed with his older brothers, and was sent to be a target.
Xia Wenyan ate another segment of orange, then lazily leaned back on the sofa and muttered, "Forget about blind dates, I’m quite lazy by nature. If I were looking, I’d want someone who dotes on me, and preferably not too fierce..."
He said this, his gaze drifting towards Pei Huai, smiling, "Of course, if it’s someone better than Brother Pei, that would be even better."
But someone better than Pei Huai towards him... emmm, that seems very hard.
Because Pei Huai was really too good to him.
If he didn’t meet such a person, it seems like making do with Brother Pei wouldn’t be so bad...
After all, Brother Pei isn’t going to get married, so sticking by his side shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Pei Huai glanced at Xia Wenyan, stuffed another orange segment into his mouth, and chuckled, "Then it’s a deal. Find someone who treats you better than Brother Pei, and if not, you’re not allowed to settle."
"Okay." Xia Wenyan nodded decisively, completely unaware of what this promise meant to Pei Huai.
He contentedly picked up another tangerine from the table and started peeling it.
Looking for someone who would treat Xia Wenyan better than him?
Impossible.
So... Yanyan, you can only be mine.
Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened, and as evening approached it began to snow, lasting for two days.
The film crew Lu Zhaozhao was part of could only shoot indoor scenes due to the weather.
Her part in the indoor scenes was minimal, so the director simply gave her a few days off, allowing her to leave the crew.
Lu Zhaozhao initially wanted to stick close to Song Sinian at the company, but then she remembered they had discussed marriage and hadn’t even bought a diamond ring yet.
So she turned her head directly to the mall, planning to first take a look at the latest popular styles and then go with Song Sinian to customize a pair of wedding rings.
Lu Zhaozhao browsed through several stores but didn’t find any styles she liked; instead, she saw a nice jade bracelet.
"Madam, this is a new style in our store. Let me get it for you to take a look."
As the clerk spoke, he brought over all the jade bracelets that Lu Zhaozhao had seen and placed them on the counter.
Lu Zhaozhao was just about to reach for one when a hand snatched it up before she could.
"This bracelet isn’t bad, I’ll take it."
Lu Zhaozhao furrowed her brows and looked up at the person holding the bracelet, her expression displeased.
The person who took the bracelet was a man, probably in his thirties, not overweight but somehow his slicked-back hair made him look greasy no matter how she looked at him.
Especially the obviously flirty way he looked at her made Lu Zhaozhao feel even more disgusted.
She simply ignored the man in front of her and picked up another bracelet.
"Beautiful lady, if you like this bracelet, I can bear to part with it, just give me a contact number."
Suddenly, the man by her side spoke slowly.
Seeing that Lu Zhaozhao showed little reaction, he added, "My name is Feng Jiyue. Have you heard of the Song Group? I am the cousin of Song Sinian, the president of Song Group."
"..."
Well, well.
This man was a relative from the maternal side of Song Sinian’s family?
She remembered that Song Sinian had mentioned their family members from the Feng family would attend their wedding.
She didn’t expect them to arrive so quickly.
Their wedding planning wasn’t even finalized yet, had the Feng family members come in such a rush?
If Lu Zhaozhao remembered correctly, after Feng Xiran’s death, the Feng family had lost the support of the Song Family and quickly declined.
They were even squeezed out of the Shangjing Circle by other families.
She didn’t expect that they’d come to Shangjing so quickly after just hearing the news of Song Sinian’s wedding.
Now that they had come, to actually use the name of the Song Group to swindle?
Lu Zhaozhao could not stand it.
She glanced at Feng Jiyue and said coldly, "I’ve heard of the Song Group, and I’ve heard of Song Sinian, but I’ve never heard of him having any cousins."
Because of her previous popularity in the entertainment industry, Lu Zhaozhao had disguised herself a bit when she went out.
She had not expected to run into such an unlucky person at a jewelry store.
Upon hearing what Lu Zhaozhao said, Feng Jiyue was not angry but rather became smug, "I grew up with Song Sinian; don’t believe me, look."
He said this and took out his mobile phone; the screensaver was a photo of him with Song Sinian.
Although it was Song Sinian as a child, the delicate features made him instantly recognizable.
Lu Zhaozhao felt a softness in her heart, never imagining that Mr. Song from their family was such a cool little bun when he was a child.
So cute.
But thinking about how his biological mother treated such a little bun, she felt a pain in her heart as if it were being pricked by needles.
Feng Jiyue saw that Lu Zhaozhao’s expression had softened a lot and continued to speak fluently, "My aunt is Song Sinian’s biological mother, and he is having a wedding soon, which is why I came to the Song family."
Lu Zhaozhao raised her skeptical brows and surveyed Feng Jiyue, "You’re staying at the Song family’s?"
She had been to Old Master Song’s place with Song Sinian last weekend and didn’t see any member of the Feng family; perhaps this guy was just bluffing?
Feng Jiyue’s eyes narrowed, and he hesitated to speak directly for a moment.
He was originally following his parents’ wishes, coming to the mall to pick a wedding gift for Song Sinian, incidentally using his wedding as an opportunity to mend the relationship between the two families, and by the way...
