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

Ling Jiuer was holding the list of supplies and was originally going to find Gu Fanxing to confirm and sign, but just as she reached the door of the tent, she saw Pei Luonan casually draping his coat over Gu Fanxing's shoulders - in the morning light, the man's movements were natural and gentle. When Gu Fanxing lowered her head, the tips of her ears turned slightly red, just like the silhouettes of a young couple hidden in a picture album.

Ling Jiuer paused, quietly took two steps back, and covered her mouth to stifle laughter: "Good boy, this dog food came unexpectedly. My list came at the right time, but also at the wrong time."

She simply leaned against the tree trunk next to her, her fingertips unconsciously scratching the edge of the list, but her eyes couldn't help but glance into the tent - she could see Gu Fanxing's sparkling eyes when she opened the thermos, hear her whisper "delicious", and Pei Luonan's unconcealable smile when he watched her eat.

When she saw Pei Luonan reaching out to help Gu Fanxing wipe the porridge stains from the corner of her mouth, and Gu Fanxing's cheeks instantly flushed, Ling Jiuer couldn't help herself at all. She took out her phone, made an "OK" gesture towards the tent, and quickly put it away. She had already started thinking in her heart: "No, I have to tell Fangfei about this! Xingxing's progress is much faster than I expected!"

She clutched the list and walked briskly towards her temporary office tent. When she passed the kitchen, she caught a glimpse of Pei Luonan cleaning the stove where she had just cooked - the stainless steel pot was polished to a shine, the porcelain plate for chopped green onions was washed clean, and even the apron was neatly folded and hung on the hook.

Ling Jiuer couldn't help but sigh. "I've only heard that President Pei is a decisive and efficient businessman. Now it seems that he's also a good family man. Xingxing has really found a treasure this time."

Back in the office tent, Ling Jiuer put the list aside, took out her cell phone and made a video call to Xiao Fangfei.

The phone rang twice before it was picked up. Xiao Fangfei's face appeared on the screen, a cup of coffee in her hand. "Jiu'er? You're calling me at this hour. Is there a new discovery at the ruins, or has Xingxing been 'fed' by Pei Luonan again?"

Ling Jiuer plopped down on a chair, leaning closer to the screen, her tone filled with excitement as if she was telling someone something big: "Fang Fei! You don't know! What happened today is even more exciting than discovering a complete piece of Song Dynasty porcelain! Pei Luonan actually pushed a multi-million dollar overseas project just to make breakfast for Xingxing!"

"real or fake?"

Xiao Fangfei paused with the coffee cup in her hand in mid-air, and looked at the screen with raised eyebrows.

"Did I hear correctly? He just pushed back on a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars? I've heard people say Pei Luonan is a 'workaholic' who never misses any business opportunity. How come he's so 'willful' when it comes to Xingxing?"

"Absolutely true!"

Ling Jiuer placed the phone on a stand and gestured with her hands.

"When I passed by the kitchen this morning, I saw Pei Luonan wearing an apron and cooking millet porridge. She also steamed crystal shrimp dumplings that Xingxing loves, and even washed and arranged the strawberries on a plate.

As a result, he received a call from Kong Haoyu, saying that there was a problem with the new energy project of the overseas M Group, and he had booked a flight for him to fly over in the afternoon. What do you think Pei Luonan said?

Xiao Fangfei put down her coffee cup and leaned forward slightly: "What do you mean?"

"He directly asked Kong Haoyu to refund his plane ticket and said, 'You go negotiate the project for me, I have more important things to do'!"

Ling Jiuer imitated Pei Luonan's tone and deliberately lowered her voice.

"Later I found out that the 'more important thing' he was talking about was staying here with Xingxing and getting along well with her! Don't you think this is both domineering and heartwarming?"

Xiao Fangfei couldn't help but smile when she heard this, her eyes full of relief.

"I really didn't realize that Pei Luonan cared so much about Xingxing.

I used to worry that, coming from a business background, he'd treat relationships like 'projects,' but now it seems I was overthinking it. He's willing to give up a multi-million dollar project just to be with Xingxing. This devotion isn't fake."

"you do not say!"

Ling Jiuer picked up the pen and turned it around twice, "You didn't see the scene in the morning - when Xingxing came out after washing up, Pei Luonan immediately handed her the thermos bucket and took off his coat to put on her, fearing that she would catch a cold.

When Xingxing was having breakfast, he sat opposite her and watched her with a look in his eyes so gentle that it could make water drip out of them.

Later, Xingxing asked him if he was busy with work, and he said, "The most important thing for me now is to be with you." I almost cried with envy when I heard that!

Xiao Fangfei picked up the coffee and took a sip, a smile on her lips.

"Xingxing has had a tough year, too. She's been completely focused on archaeology and has always been cautious with her relationships.

She once told me that she had been hurt and no longer dared to believe in love.

Now that Pei Luonan is so obedient and accompanies her, she should be able to slowly let down her guard, right? "

"I should have let it go!" Ling Jiuer leaned closer to the screen and lowered her voice, "I was just delivering the list when I saw Pei Luonan holding Xingxing's hand. Xingxing didn't avoid it and said with a blushing face, 'I've seen a lot more clearly.'

Pei Luonan asked her if she was willing to officially date him. Although Xingxing didn't nod directly, her expression clearly showed that she was moved! "I think it won't be long before we can drink in their wedding wine!"

"That would be great."

Xiao Fangfei's eyes were filled with genuine joy, "Xingxing deserves to be treated so attentively.

In the past, she was afraid that Pei Luonan's feelings for her were just a "partnership", but now Pei Luonan has proved with his actions that what he wants is not "cooperation", but a "real future" with Xingxing.

This way, the last bit of knot in Xingxing's heart should be untied."

Ling Jiuer nodded, picked up her phone, walked to the door of the tent, and took a photo of the ruins exploration area outside: "Look, Xingxing is sorting out the porcelain pieces in the tent now. Pei Luonan didn't disturb her, but helped her organize the materials. The two of them were busy with their own things, but they had a tacit understanding.

This kind of unintentional companionship is more effective than any sweet words."

Xiao Fangfei looked at the exploration area on the screen and said softly, "I'm so happy for Xingxing. I've seen her work so hard for archaeology, and I've also seen her hesitate in her relationships. Now she's finally met someone who can let go of her guard and trust her. It's great."

"That's right!" Ling Jiuer's tone softened, "I used to worry that Xingxing would keep hiding in archaeology and not want to open up to me. But now with someone as persistent and caring as Pei Luonan, she can't hide away even if she wants to.

But honestly, Pei Luonan's 'way of pursuing his wife', although a bit 'Versailles', does make people feel reliable."

Xiao Fangfei smiled: "As long as he's reliable. In the future, you should help me keep an eye on him. If Pei Luonan dares to bully Xingxing, we will be the first to not let him off."

"That is required!"

Ling Jiuer patted her chest and made the promise.

"We are Xingxing's 'number one bestie'. We will be the first to get angry with anyone who dares to bully her! But looking at the current situation, Pei Luonan loves Xingxing so much that he can't bear to bully her."

The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Fangfei said that she had a meeting to attend at the law firm, so she hung up the video.

Ling Jiuer looked at the black screen with a smile on her lips. She picked up the list on the table and walked briskly towards Gu Fanxing's tent.

This time, she would not be "sneaky" anymore. She would ask Xingxing for his signature openly and take some of the strawberries that Pei Luonan brought with her.

On the other side, Xiao Fangfei hung up the phone and looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window, her heart filled with warmth.

She remembered the look on Gu Fanxing's face when she carefully read the archaeological materials sent by Pei Luonan; she remembered the confusion and expectation in Gu Fanxing's eyes when she hesitated whether to accept Pei Luonan.

Now, these entanglements are finally slowly dissipating, and expectations are gradually being responded to.

Xiao Fangfei picked up the documents on the table, and the smile on her lips deepened - her good sister finally waited for the person who was willing to give up business opportunities for her just to have breakfast with her. This happiness came just in time.
