Pei Xu had already touched Gu Jiaorong, and she was his legitimate concubine. If he needed her, there was no need for him to put himself in a difficult position.

But he didn't understand why everyone thought he liked Gu Jiaorong.

Thinking of Gu Jiaorong's lazy appearance, who couldn't even please others, how could he possibly like her?

Pei Xu went to Gu Jiaorong simply because he thought she was harmless.

If I look for someone else, it will take a lot of effort, and they may not be as easy to understand as Gu Jiaorong.

Pei Xu was dealing with a bunch of cunning people outside, and he didn't want to have to be constantly on the lookout for them after returning home.

If Gu Jiaorong knew what he was thinking, she would definitely agree with him.

Of course, workers who have already finished get off work don’t want to work overtime.

If she were asked to work overtime every day like Pei Xu, her resentment would probably be enough to feed ten evil sword immortals.

Even if she is rich and powerful!

It’s a pity that Gu Jiaorong was exhausted, she was just a small employee.

It is really difficult to get promoted in the workplace, especially for a newbie.

Shen Zhaohua became even more angry when he heard him questioning him in such a light-hearted manner.

"Pei Xu, I'm not blind. If you treated her the same way as Xie Wanning, I wouldn't mind. But you went to her room for two consecutive days and bought her snacks. You've never treated me like this before, even though we're lovers."

Shen Zhaohua has comparisons in his mind, and they are by no means groundless.

Pei Xu closed his eyes and told himself in his heart that Shen Zhaohua was still useful.

"Zhaohua, I'm a man, a normal man, not a monk. You asked me to respect you, and I did. Isn't that enough?"

Pei Xu's words were very clear. He had a need, and if Shen Zhaohua didn't want to, he would go find someone else.

This is a normal thing for men of this era.

But Shen Zhaohua couldn't accept it, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a fuss.

"Pei Xu, does it have to be like this?"

Shen Zhaohua didn't understand why he had become so humble.

But she didn't have the courage, she couldn't open her mouth to say she was leaving.

She likes Pei Xu and depends on Pei Xu.

Without Pei Xu, she couldn't live such a life.

Shen Zhaohua always understood that she was sinking while being sober.

When she first came here, she always felt that she was different and could not be influenced by the times and environment, but now she understands that no one is immune to influence.

The strict feudal hierarchy made it difficult for her to move forward.

Only with Pei Xu and under his protection can Shen Zhaohua retain a bit of the pride of a new-age woman.

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She finally understood the arguments she had with her roommates before traveling through time. Even if she was well-versed in history, even if she understood the production of gunpowder, even if she mastered the technology that was ahead of her time, she might not be able to truly thrive.

In this era, everyone has no choice.

At this moment, cracks began to appear in Shen Zhaohua's arrogance.

She had to admit that perhaps someone like Gu Jiaorong, who had no advantages, was more suitable to survive in this era.

Although she relied on her looks to serve others, she also won Pei Xu's favor for a short time. What difference did this make to her talent?

No matter how much Shen Zhaohua knew, he still ended up like this today.

Is there any difference between her and Xie Wanning?

Shen Zhaohua had no answer, she subconsciously looked at Pei Xu.

Pei Xu sat there quietly, within her reach, yet seemed so far away.

She seemed to have never understood her lover.

Shen Zhaohua pulled the corner of his lips, "Pei Xu, do you still like me?"

Pei Xu did not deny it. He looked at Shen Zhaohua and there was no smile in his eyes, but his brows softened.

"Of course, Zhaohua, you know that you are different in my eyes."

But Shen Zhaohua just didn't feel in love anymore.

She felt that Pei Xu's love had quietly transferred to Gu Jiaorong.

"Since you like me, then you can stay and have dinner with me today."

In the end, Shen Zhaohua did not make any excessive requests. She already had the answer in her heart, and if she asked, she would be rejected.

Her remaining pride would not allow her to be rejected by Pei Xu.

"it is good."

Pei Xu nodded, a meal wouldn't make a big difference.

Besides, he had indeed neglected Shen Zhaohua for a while, and he should comfort her to prevent her from causing trouble for Gu Jiaorong again.

Although Gu Jiaorong never complained to him, he always felt that Gu Jiaorong didn't like being disturbed.

Just as Pei Xu thought, Gu Jiaorong really didn't like being disturbed.

Fortunately, Pei Xu's harem is relatively simple, with only a reborn princess and a time-traveling Bai Yueguang, otherwise she would definitely be annoyed to death.

Gu Jiaorong held a glass of apricot blossom wine and drank alone.

"Sister, the prince went to Miss Shen's place today, I'm afraid he won't come to our yard."

Yueyan was still young and not suitable for drinking, so she held her chin and sighed while watching Jiaorong drink.

She cares more about Pei Xu's stay or departure than Gu Jiaorong.

At this time, Gu Jiaorong was taking a sip of apricot blossom wine. The fragrance of apricot blossom instantly filled her entire mouth. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and she looked very enjoyable. Obviously, she did not hear Yue Yan's words.

"Sister, are you listening to me?"

Yueyan pouted. Although she listened to her sister Jiaorong's words, she didn't need to care too much about whether the prince stayed or left.

But the prince bought snacks and asked Fu'an to deliver wine, which clearly shows that he has Sister Jiaorong in his heart.

"I'm listening. I'm listening."

Gu Jiaorong nodded perfunctorily, but actually didn't take it to heart at all.

Shen Zhaohua is Pei Xu's beloved. The two have been in conflict for so many days, it's time to reconcile.

Gu Jiaorong was not surprised, and even felt that it was reasonable.

But the little girl Yueyan took it to heart.

Once people get something, it is difficult to accept losing it.

Gu Jiaorong felt that she was quite sensible and had put herself in the right position from the very beginning. She did not think that the prince had fallen in love with someone else just because he came twice.

Love is poison, extremely poisonous, don’t touch it!

Apricot blossom wine is still the best, with a light floral fragrance but not astringent.

Gu Jiaorong sipped the wine with a look of enjoyment on her face. She couldn't drink much and didn't dare to drink too much.

But it is enjoyable enough to have a drink accompanied by the intoxicating evening breeze.

"Sister, if the prince never comes to our place again..."

"That would be great!"

Gu Jiaorong immediately responded that she could just lie down and do nothing and get paid for nothing.

Just thinking about it made her feel so beautiful.

Is such a good day really coming?

Gu Jiaorong felt that this good thing was worth celebrating. She drank the apricot blossom wine in the cup in one gulp, ignoring Yue Yan's surprised expression.

Yueyan didn't expect that Sister Jiaorong was really not attracted to the prince at all, after all, the prince was so handsome.

But Sister Jiaorong is also good, she is good-looking and has a good temper.

Yueyan thought so and felt that her sister Jiaorong was worthy of the prince.
