Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Half a month later, in the office of Pei Group, Pei Luonan stared at the data that kept jumping on the screen, his eyes flashing with excitement, and his whole body exuded irrepressible joy.

After countless days and nights of hard work by the team, the project finally achieved a major breakthrough. Key indicators continued to rise, far exceeding expectations. Letters of intent from partners poured in, and everything was moving in the most ideal direction.

"Finally succeeded!" Pei Luonan stood up suddenly, took out his cell phone impatiently, and called Shi Yunchen and Kong Haoyu: "Brothers, the project is done! Let's find a good place tonight to celebrate and don't stop until we get drunk!"

Shi Yunchen's lazy voice came from the receiver: "Okay, you choose the place, I'll just take care of the food. I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot what delicious food tastes like."

Kong Haoyu excitedly shouted: "Great! I've been looking forward to relaxing for a long time!"

As the lights came on, Pei Luonan, Shi Yunchen and Kong Haoyu gathered in a stylish Western restaurant in the city center.

The three of them found a seat near the window and sat down. Pei Luonan ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes and selected a bottle of fine red wine.

After the food and wine were served, Pei Luonan raised his glass and said, "Come, let's toast to our success!" His eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky.

"Cheers!" Shi Yunchen and Kong Haoyu also raised their glasses. The three of them raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp, their faces filled with satisfied and happy smiles.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the three of them enjoyed the food while enthusiastically sharing the interesting stories and troubles at work during this period.

Just as they were chatting animatedly, the door of the restaurant was slowly pushed open, and a faint and elegant fragrance wafted in.

Kong Haoyu looked up inadvertently, and his whole body froze as if he was cast under a spell, with the wine glass in his hand suspended in mid-air.

It was Xiao Fangfei who walked in. She was wearing a white, fitted dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her light steps, like a swaying lily, fresh and refined. A perfectly placed smile graced her lips, like the warmest spring sunshine, instantly illuminating the entire restaurant and attracting many people's attention.

Kong Haoyu's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he felt his breathing become rapid and disordered, as if an invisible big hand was tightly strangling his throat.

He lowered his head in panic, pretending to concentrate on cutting the steak, but the knife and fork in his hands seemed to be deliberately disobeying him and made a chaotic "ding-dang-dang" sound on the plate.

Pei Luonan and Shi Yunchen keenly noticed his abnormality, followed his gaze, and instantly understood what he meant.

Pei Luonan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smirk, and deliberately raised his voice, which was particularly loud in the restaurant: "Hey, isn't this Xiao Fangfei? Haoyu, how about we invite her to sit at the same table with us, what do you think?" Pei Luonan deliberately suggested.

"No, that's not necessary. They may not agree." Kong Haoyu said hypocritically.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Fangfei was already walking towards them with elegant steps.

"What a coincidence, you are here too." Xiao Fangfei walked to their table, her voice clear and pleasant, like a lively and beautiful piece of music, gently echoing in the air.

"Yes, what a coincidence. Miss Xiao is coming to dinner too? Let's sit together." Pei Luonan extended an invitation warmly, and did not forget to wink at Kong Haoyu, his eyes full of teasing and mockery.

Kong Haoyu was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his palms. Fine beads of sweat covered his palms. He secretly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Fangfei, and then quickly lowered his head, as if he was afraid that the other party would discover his inner secret. He felt both expectant and afraid, and the two emotions intertwined and surged in his heart like a surging tide.

Xiao Fangfei hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly and agreed: "Sorry to bother you." Then she slowly sat down in the empty seat next to Kong Haoyu.

Kong Haoyu could only feel a faint, elegant fragrance lingering around him, which made him even more nervous and uneasy. His body was as tense as a fully drawn bow, and even his sitting posture became stiff and unnatural.

Pei Luonan looked at his embarrassment and couldn't help laughing, and his laughter drifted gently in the air.

Shi Yunchen was confused: "Haoyu, why are you so quiet today? Aren't you usually very talkative? Why do you become mute when you see Miss Xiao?"

Kong Haoyu glared at Shi Yunchen, trying to hide his nervousness: "Don't talk nonsense, I... I'm just a little tired." There was a hint of imperceptible panic in his voice.

Xiao Fangfei seemed to sense Kong Haoyu's discomfort and whispered, "Mr. Kong, are you busy with any projects recently? You seem very busy."

When Kong Haoyu heard Xiao Fangfei taking the initiative to talk to him, he suddenly felt an indescribable joy in his heart, and that joy bloomed in his heart like fireworks.

He quickly replied, "Ah, it's just some routine work. I'm a bit busy lately as we're rushing to meet deadlines on the project." He tried to make his voice sound steady, but the slightly trembling tone still betrayed his inner nervousness.

Pei Luonan joined in the fun with a mischievous smile on his face: "Haoyu works really hard. He often works overtime until late at night. It's so tiring."

"Boss, you..." Kong Haoyu was embarrassed and annoyed, but he had no way to deal with him.

In the following conversation, Kong Haoyu was pleasantly surprised to find that although Xiao Fangfei was outspoken, she had her own unique and profound insights on many things.

Unconsciously, Kong Haoyu's eyes always fell on Xiao Fangfei unconsciously, and his eyes were full of tenderness and admiration, but whenever he realized his gaze, he would look away in panic, for fear that others would see through the secret feelings deep in his heart.

Pei Luonan watched this scene and felt sincerely happy for Kong Haoyu.

He knew very well that Kong Haoyu had long-standing feelings for Xiao Fangfei, but he had always been timid and cowardly and dared not express his feelings.

Today's unexpected encounter may become the beginning of a beautiful story.

As the dinner was coming to an end, Xiao Fangfei left because she received a phone call.

After Xiao Fangfei left, Pei Luonan decided to "stimulate" Kong Haoyu again.

Pei Luonan cleared his throat and said seriously, "Haoyu, we've been brothers for so many years, and I've never seen you so uncomfortable. If you like someone, just pursue them openly. Don't be so timid all the time. Look at you tonight, you're so nervous that you can't even speak clearly."

Shi Yunchen was awakened by Pei Luonan's words: "Why, Haoyu, you like Xiao Fangfei? How come I didn't know? You're hiding it well enough."

Kong Haoyu's face flushed red as he anxiously retorted, "Stop talking nonsense. There's no such thing as what you think."

Pei Luonan persisted: "Still being stubborn? Your thoughts are all written on your face. As soon as Miss Xiao sat down, your eyes never left her."

Shi Yunchen also added fuel to the fire: "No wonder you smiled so brightly when we were chatting just now. I've never seen you care so much about anyone before."

Kong Haoyu was speechless and could only wave his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, stop talking, I know what's going on."

Pei Luonan patted Kong Haoyu's shoulder and said, "We are doing this for your own good. If you like someone, you should be brave enough to pursue them. Otherwise, it will be too late when others get there first."

Shi Yunchen also nodded and said, "Yes, we all support you. If you need any help, just ask."

Kong Haoyu looked at his two good brothers and felt deeply moved. Although he felt a little embarrassed by their teasing, he also understood that they were truly thinking about him.

He took a deep breath and secretly made up his mind that maybe he really should muster up the courage to pursue his own happiness.
