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

Pei Luonan had just sent Gu Fanxing back to the ruins when his cell phone rang. The name "Mom" popped up on the screen. His heart skipped a beat - he knew without thinking that Pei's mom must have known about the failed proposal.

He took a deep breath and pressed the answer button. Before he could speak, Pei's mother's angry voice came from the other end of the phone: "Pei Luonan! Tell me the truth, did you mess up the proposal?!"

Pei Luonan tightened his grip on the phone and tried to soften his tone: "Mom, it's not a big deal, it's just that Xingxing needs some time to think about it."

"Consider? Consider what?" Pei's mother's voice suddenly rose. "I've already received the heirloom and signed the consent form for the surgery. You still can't handle this? Aren't you too incompetent?"

Pei Luonan leaned against the car and sighed: "Mom, it's not that I'm incompetent, it's just that Fanxing is still a little worried, and she hasn't completely let go of Long Weiwei's matter."

"Long Weiwei? That woman again!" Mother Pei's anger flared. "These are all fabricated stories, and you can't even resolve them. No wonder Xingxing feels uncomfortable. It's a wonder your proposal was successful! I think you're just not thoughtful enough. You can't even resolve this little misunderstanding, and you still want to get married?"

Pei Luonan did not refute, but just listened quietly.

He knew that Pei's mother was anxious, and it was also for his own good. After all, everyone in the Pei family had long regarded Gu Fanxing as their future daughter-in-law and hoped that they could settle down as soon as possible.

"Tell me, what happened then?" Pei's mother's tone softened a little. "Did you not explain yourself clearly? Or did Xingxing suffer some injustice?"

Pei Luonan told Pei's mother what happened on the day of the press conference from beginning to end - from the hand-drawn illustrations on the big screen, to taking out the wooden sign and recorder, to Gu Fanxing bringing up the matter of Long Weiwei, and finally he took out the consent form for surgery and the heirloom. Although Gu Fanxing did not agree, his attitude had softened a lot.

"...She finally ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I bought her and even talked to me, unlike before when she kept avoiding me."

There was a subtle joy in Pei Luonan's voice, "Mom, I hope it's ahead. Give me some more time, and I'm sure she'll agree."

"Hopeful? I think you're just too optimistic!" Mother Pei snorted. "Do you think you can buy Xingxing off with just a piece of candy? They're just giving you face and not wanting you to embarrass yourself in front of everyone! If you're really capable, then quickly resolve Long Weiwei's issue and don't let Xingxing harbor any resentment!"

Pei Luonan nodded: "I know, I have asked Kong Haoyu to organize Long Weiwei's apology statement and evidence, and send it to Xingxing tomorrow so that she can be completely relieved."

"What's the point of sending it over?" Pei's mother insisted, "You have to explain it to Xingxing in person and speak to her heart! Girls are sensitive. If you don't talk to her properly, she will always have a knot in her heart!

Also, when you go to the ruins to see her every day, don’t just talk about it, you have to take actual action!

If she likes to study porcelain pieces, you help her look up information; if she is tired, you give her water to wipe her sweat; if she wants to eat something, you have to buy it for her even if you have to run all over the county!

Pei Luonan agreed with a smile: "I know, I have already asked Ling Jiuer. Xingxing has been studying the patterns of Song Dynasty celadon porcelain recently. I asked someone to borrow a few rare books from the museum and will bring them to her tomorrow.

Also, she said yesterday that the food in the cafeteria was a bit salty, so I've already told the chef today to prepare lighter meals for her starting tomorrow."

"That's better." Mother Pei's tone finally softened. "You have to pay attention. Xingxing is a good girl. If you miss her, you'll never find such a good wife again in your life! Your father and I are still looking forward to having grandchildren. If you delay any longer, I will go to Yang County to find you myself!"

Pei Luonan's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Mom, don't come. I will definitely solve it as soon as possible and not let you and Dad worry. If you come, it might be bad if Xingxing feels pressured."

"What's wrong with me going? Can't I go and see my future daughter-in-law?" Mother Pei snorted, "But since you are so confident, I will wait a little longer.

But remember, if Xingxing still doesn't agree after a month, I'll go there myself and talk to him about it for you!"

Pei Luonan smiled helplessly: "Okay, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer within a month."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Luonan was full of motivation.

He knew that although Pei's mother was harsh in her words, she was doing it for his own good. With the support of his family, he was more confident that he could make Gu Fanxing completely put aside her worries and agree to his proposal.

The next morning, Pei Luonan arrived at the ruins site, bringing with him the rare books borrowed from the museum and some light meals prepared for Gu Fanxing.

Gu Fanxing was sorting porcelain pieces in the tent. When she saw him come in, she was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and continued with the work in her hands.

"I brought you some information about the patterns on Song Dynasty celadon porcelain. Take a look and see if it's useful."

Pei Luonan put the information on the table and handed over the thermos bucket. "You said the food in the cafeteria was too salty, so I asked the chef to make something lighter for you. There's your favorite steamed fish and vegetable salad."

Gu Fanxing raised his head and looked at the documents and thermos on the table. He felt warm in his heart, but still didn't say anything, just nodded.

Pei Luonan didn't mind. He sat on a chair beside her and watched her sort out the porcelain pieces.

The sunlight shone through the gap in the tent and fell on her profile. Her serious look was particularly moving.

After a while, Gu Fanxing finally spoke: "Yesterday...thank you for sending me back."

Pei Luonan was delighted and said quickly, "You're welcome. It's my duty. By the way, regarding Long Weiwei's matter, I've asked Kong Haoyu to organize all the evidence. If you want to see it, I'll bring it to you now."

Gu Fanxing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll take a look."

Pei Luonan immediately took out his cell phone, which contained Long Weiwei's apology video, the Long Group's statement, the media's clarification report, and a scanned copy of the lawyer's letter. Each piece of evidence was very detailed, enough to prove that everything Long Weiwei did was planned by her alone and had nothing to do with Pei Luonan.

Gu Fanxing looked at it seriously, his fingers sliding across the screen, and the doubts in his eyes gradually dissipated.

After reading the last piece of evidence, she raised her head, looked at Pei Luonan, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."

Pei Luonan quickly shook his head: "No need to apologize, it's my fault that I didn't explain it to you earlier and made you feel wronged.

Xingxing, I know I made you worry before. If anything happens in the future, I will never let you worry about it alone again."

Gu Fanxing looked at his sincere eyes, and her worries dissipated a lot.

She thought of everything Pei Luonan had done for her during this period, and every single thing showed his care and concern.

"Pei Luonan, I'm willing... to try with you." Gu Fanxing's voice was soft but firm.

Pei Luonan's eyes lit up instantly, as if they were filled with stars.

He stood up excitedly and said, "Xingxing, are you serious? Are you willing to try it with me?"

A faint blush appeared on Gu Fanxing's face: "Well, but if you dare to make me angry again, I will still ignore you."

Pei Luonan quickly assured: "I won't, absolutely not!"

Pei Luonan looked at Gu Fanxing's smiling face, his heart filled with happiness - he knew that this agreement that spanned twenty years had finally come to a successful conclusion.

Pei Luonan held Gu Fanxing's hand tightly, his eyes full of cherishment.

"Xingxing, thank you for giving me a chance. I will definitely spend my whole life to prove that my feelings for you will never change."

The two smiled at each other, with each other's figures reflected in their eyes. In the days to come, they will face all the storms together, guard each other's love together, and turn this agreement spanning twenty years into the warmest daily life for the rest of their lives.
