Chapter 482: Chapter 480: Pamper Her Well!
Zhaozhao listened to the silence on the other end of the phone before continuing, "Alright, you two have a good chat, I won’t be the third wheel."
She said this and handed the phone directly to Xia Wenyan, then very sensibly left the room.
Still peeling an orange, Xia Wenyan was taken aback and could only blankly take the phone, bewilderingly asking, "Brother Pei, were you looking for me?"
"Um..."
Zhaozhao watched the two chat as if no one else was around and silently sighed, then got up and left the room.
With Zhaozhao no longer beside him, Xia Wenyan’s courage grew, "Brother Pei, I miss you so much. If you don’t come back soon, I think I’m going to get lovesick."
Pei Huai obviously knew that Xia Wenyan said that offhandedly, but he still took it seriously.
He shifted his body, and the sound of water splashing from the bath echoed, "I miss you too."
Very much, very much.
His voice was hoarse, and because of the drugs he inhaled before, his tone also carried a complex emotion.
When Zhaozhao was still around earlier, Xia Wenyan hadn’t noticed, but now alone, he distinctly sensed the difference in Pei Huai’s voice.
He furrowed his brows tightly, somewhat worriedly asking, "Brother Pei, has something happened over there? Why does your voice sound a bit strange?"
He remembered when he was schemed against by Avril, his voice had sounded like this.
Xia Wenyan also recalled what Zhaozhao had told him earlier, that Pei Huai went abroad this time because the elders of his clan had dragged him to a matchmaking event.
When Zhaozhao spoke about it earlier, he had felt a vague discomfort.
Xia Wenyan thought it was just because they had agreed to remain single and he was furious at Pei Huay for secretly going on arranged dates, but now it seemed a bit different.
Thinking that Pei Huai might have been plotted against, Xia Wenyan immediately became anxious, "Brother Pei, where are you now?"
Pei Huai felt somewhat weary as he came back to his senses, noticing Xia Wenyan’s tension over the phone, he couldn’t help but curve his lips reassuringly, "I’m in a hotel. Don’t worry, I’m fine."
"Brother Pei, were you set up by someone?" His hand clenched tightly into a fist, suppressing the nervousness at the bottom of his heart, and hesitantly asked.
Pei Huai originally wanted to lie, but after pondering for a moment, he decided to tell the truth to Xia Wenyan, "Yes, I didn’t expect them to be so bold during dinner. But fortunately, my men arrived on time, so they didn’t manage to get the better of me."
He skipped over the process of how Feng Ya Meizi nearly got killed and briefly mentioned the outcome.
Xia Wenyan thought of the suffering he had endured before, his brow involuntarily furrowing with a bit of heartache, "Then, Brother Pei... have you seen a doctor?"
He knew all too well how unbearable it felt, better than anyone else.
At that time, he had managed to endure it thanks to Pei Huai being by his side, but now Pei Huai was in trouble, and he couldn’t be with him, Xia Wenyan suddenly felt somewhat frustrated.
He irritably ruffled his hair, "When you said you were going abroad, I should have gone with you, so you wouldn’t have to endure so much alone."
Pei Huai couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, "Your words are enough."
It was rare for their Yanyan to actively show concern for him.
Seeing that Pei Huai didn’t want to elaborate, Xia Wenyan could only change the subject, "Did the people from the family who want to arrange a marriage with you do this? Which family are they from? Will your direct rejection have any impact on you?"
He had grown up in the Xia Family since childhood, and his parents were very open-minded—they never cared about those so-called concepts of social status, so for them, marrying any type of wife was acceptable.
The children of the Xia Family were not forced into arranged marriages for the sake of the family, so he was not sure whether the Pei Huai family was the same.
After all, there were many families that had grown strong through arranged marriages.
Pei Huai thought of Feng Ya Meizi, whose face he had slashed, and knew that the Fengya Family would probably not let things go.
Even if the Fengya Family knew that Feng Ya Meizi had drugged him, they would likely try to pin the blame on him. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
The Fengya Family was declining with each generation, and now with Feng Ya Meizi, they only had one daughter left, so in order to strengthen the family’s power, they definitely needed to arrange a marriage between the two families.
As for the Rimu Family he was currently in, they were hardly different from the Fengya Family; without finding him as the heir, the Rimu Family would really be on the decline.
Originally, these old fools had been begging him, but unexpectedly, they had also conspired with the Fengya Family against him.
He really had given those old fools too much face.
Pei Huai took a deep breath, "I will soon have my affairs abroad settled, can you be good and wait for me in the country?"
Seeing that Pei Huai was not going to talk about the matter of blind dates, Xia Wenyan could only obediently agree to what Pei Huai said.
"Take good care of our daughter, and I’ll bring you gifts when I return," Pei Huai said, not wanting Xia Wenyan to always focus on his blind dates and deliberately changed the subject.
Upon hearing the word "daughter," Xia Wenyan’s eyes immediately lit up.
He had always been particularly fond of having a sister in the past.
However, the sister that his family raised seemed somehow different from what other families described.
He had never felt the joy of being a brother.
It was not until Lu Zhaozhao appeared that he found the feeling of being a brother again.
However, Lu Zhaozhao was already quite grown up, and there were many limitations to how much he could pamper her.
Especially things like kissing, hugging, and lifting her were completely out of the question.
Moreover, with Song Sinian, this king of jealousy, he had even less time to interact with Lu Zhaozhao.
Now that he had a daughter, he could properly spoil her!
Pei Huai listened to Xia Wenyan chattering nonstop on the other end of the phone and completely relaxed.
At this time, Feng Ya Meizi, whose face Pei Huai had slashed, had already been sent to the hospital.
She had already awakened from her coma, and due to the severe pain in her face, her expression was very ferocious.
"What has happened to my face? My face!" Feng Ya Meizi was somewhat crazed lying on the hospital bed, her entire face twisted severely as she looked at the several bodyguards nearby.
In addition to her face covered in gauze and blood, it appeared even more ferocious.
Although they had already stitched her up, thinking back to how she looked when she was first brought in, with her face slashed, it was clear how much disdain the attacker had for her.
They had always known that this young lady of their family was arrogant and completely disregarded others’ feelings, and many people who had caught her eye, even if they were schemed against by her, had no choice but to accept it due to her status.
After all, Feng Ya Meizi was fairly attractive in appearance and stature, and spending a spring night with such a person was acceptable...
