Pei Yao's eyes darkened a little, and he pulled her hand over: "Hurry up, where's the noodles?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you hungry?" Lu Qi opened the cupboard, took out the flour and handed it to him, then took out another fermentation basin and placed it on the table.

"I'm quite hungry." Pei Yao held her in his arms.

He put the flour on the table, poured it in purified water, and taught her how to knead the dough step by step from behind her.

......

The dough was kneaded three times that night. While it was fermenting, the man became restless again and turned the wide workbench into his territory.

Helpless, he tossed and turned and the dough I had kneaded was spilled, so I had to start over.

When Pei Yao carried Lu Qi into the bathroom, his head was covered with flour. It took a long time to wash it dry. When he returned to the kitchen, the flour was finally fermented.

In the middle of the night, when all the servants in the house had gone to bed, the light in the kitchen was still on. Pei Yao held her hand, rolled out the dough piece by piece, and looked at her round nails.

"Short nails are better."

Lu Qi turned his head and took a look at the strong chest muscles under his loose bathrobe. The scratches on his body from last time were gone, and he certainly didn't scratch until he bled today.

But it left a few bite marks on him, because he never let her do it.

But the more cruel he was, the more obsessed she became, and she couldn't stop responding to him.

Blushing, Lu Qi turned away and said nonsense, "I haven't seen you dislike the long nails of Hollywood actresses."

It was just a casual mention, but Pei Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "When did I ever talk to you about Hollywood actresses?"

Lu Qi closed his eyes and let the cat out of the bag.

In fact, when I heard Celine chatting in Chinatown, I was quite concerned about how she would hook up with Pei Yao. She couldn't just go up and shake hands.

There must be something else!

For example, she would sit on the side of his sofa, put her arm around his shoulder, and giggle in his ear, while he would just smile indifferently. Depending on the girl's flirtation, she might even compliment her on her beautiful nails!

She had heard that Mr. Pei had a lot of scandals when he was in China. He was so lustful, and before they reconciled, she didn't believe he would be honest.

However, before returning, she couldn't be jealous, so she evaded the question, "Don't all men like Hollywood actresses? Don't you like them?"

Where did the jealousy come from? Pei Yao smiled lightly and pinched her face: "Boss Lu has so many handsome guys, don't you like them?"

Really, I didn't bother with her anymore.

When she was in Tianyu, she was surrounded by many handsome young men, such as Zhou Yikai, Lin Hao, Zhang Zinan... He could list a whole truckload of them for her, and there was also Shen Yici, who deserved to be called a nobody.

She was quite good at forgetting everything and arguing with him about some imaginary Hollywood actress.

Lu Qi paused, then suddenly turned around and hooked her arms around his neck: "Oh, I suddenly remembered that it's already three in the morning. Happy New Year's Eve, Mr. Pei."

The subject changed so quickly.

I really wonder if she remembers everyone else but herself.

The topic didn't last too long and was quickly passed over.

In the second half of the night, Lu Qi sat on his lap, with his arm covering her back. His big hand held her hand and taught her how to make dumplings, folding it in circles.

The dumplings that were originally meant to be eaten on New Year’s Eve are now being wrapped.

Seeing that she was in good spirits and not sleepy, I cooked a few for her as a midnight snack or breakfast.

I coaxed her back to sleep at daybreak, pulled the quilt over her, and seeing how soundly she slept, I felt that I had spent this New Year's Eve peacefully.

Is this considered a little compensation from the gods and Buddhas for him over the past eleven years?

But as a greedy person, she would only want more, and one New Year's Eve was not enough. She couldn't allow any more accidents to happen and have to run for her again.

Without rushing to lie down and sleep, Pei Yao turned around and walked out.

The servants downstairs all got up and walked quietly as if they didn't exist.

Pei Yao stood at the stairs, called Nikita over, and asked in a cold voice, "Who did the Madam meet yesterday afternoon?"

Nikita immediately thought of Celine, the Hollywood girl. Although Lu Qi had told her not to mention it to Pei Yao, since Pei Yao asked and she took his salary, she immediately told him everything.

After listening to this, Pei Yao remained calm and said nothing. He turned around and went back to his room.

-

Lu Qi slept until three in the afternoon, and the aroma of the New Year's Eve dinner downstairs was already filling the air.

When I went downstairs, Pei Yao was on the phone in the living room again. During the Chinese New Year, there were a lot of calls from China.

He was woken up by the phone at noon. He got up and went out, and the phone kept ringing until now.

Just after hanging up, another video came in. Seeing that it was Pei Zhenzhen, Pei Yao was a little annoyed, but at least gave face and answered it.

On the other side of the video, Pei Zhenzhen was standing outside the old house. Seeing that the weather was quite cold over there, she was wearing a bunny head and wishing him a happy new year.

After saying a few auspicious words, she started talking: "Brother, will you accompany my sister-in-law to celebrate the festival this year?" She meant that he would accompany her, not that she would accompany him.

It seems that she likes her sister-in-law very much.

I couldn't help but feel a little better and gave her a smile: "Yeah."

Then I heard Pei Zhenzhen nagging: "Why haven't I seen my sister-in-law? Let me chat with her. My love battle with Captain Jin has been quite effective recently."

I know they talked about these things often for a while.

Pei Yao frowned, his hand resting on the back of the love seat, holding the phone from a distance, and said calmly, "She's not free. She won't be free today."

The meaning is very clear, Pei Mingzhu is not allowed to talk to her.

Pei Mingzhu paused. Although she was a bold and aggressive young lady, she was still a little afraid of Pei Yao. Once this man started to keep his word, there would be no way to talk.

I just don't quite understand. I heard from my family about Pei Yao's situation in Dubai, and I was a little skeptical.

Now it really seems like her brother has put the person under surveillance and doesn't allow anyone to contact him.

Not daring to disobey, Pei Mingzhu nodded and hung up the video: "Oh, then I wish you and sister-in-law a happy new year."

The screen cut off, and Pei Yao picked up his phone to see the New Year greeting message that popped up.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Qi had come downstairs and was standing at the porch.

After putting away the phone, Pei Yao smiled softly and beckoned her: "Wake up. Come over and give me a hug."

Lu Qi walked to the sofa and sat next to him, looking at his phone intentionally or unintentionally.

In a low voice, he couldn't help but ask, "What about your sister?"

"Yes." Pei Yao responded and helped her head to his shoulder.

Then she asked hesitantly, "Did I know her before?"

Pei Yao nodded as soon as he heard it: "Did you hear the video?"

Lu Qi didn't deny it. She put her head on his shoulder and nodded when she heard that he didn't want them to talk on the phone.

The clock on the closet struck four in the afternoon, and the news turned to the Chinese channel. Families gathered together, decorated their homes with lanterns, and went home to celebrate the New Year with their relatives and friends.

I really wanted to ask him why he didn't allow it.

But then he thought about it and realized that he might be afraid that she wouldn't know anything when asked and his family would find out her true situation.

At this time, Nikita came into the small living room with a roll of firecrackers and nodded politely: "Sir, Madam, dinner is ready. The first gift of the new year is firecrackers to welcome the new year. Would you like to set them off yourself, sir?"

Lu Qi rubbed out of his arms and became excited: "I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Saying that she was the one to come, Lu Qi grabbed Pei Yao's hand, dragged him out of the living room, and asked him to accompany her, and he had to light the fire.

Firecrackers were set off outside the door. Pei Yao covered her ears from behind and watched the red light explode.

It is said that if people do not quarrel or make noise on New Year's Eve, the coming year will be smooth sailing...
