The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Luo Huai finally finished writing a paper in early December, with a plagiarism rate of 6%.

I need to finish the other one as soon as possible, so that I can focus all my energy on spring recruitment and internships next March.

She stretched.

Suddenly I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, and a warm current rushed down my abdomen.

The aunt is here.

I opened the drawer, grabbed a sanitary napkin, then a new pair of underwear, and headed straight for the bathroom. Sure enough, there it was.

After she changed and washed up, she thought about going downstairs to ask someone to make her a bowl of brown sugar and eggs. As soon as she stepped out, a maid was waiting for her.

"Young Madam, Madam said you should wait a while before coming downstairs."

"why?"

"President Pei has arrived."

Upon hearing that it was Pei Yuanzhou, she lost all desire to go downstairs and smiled, saying, "Okay, tell the kitchen staff to make a bowl of brown sugar and eggs."

The servant and Luo Huai turned around, and Pei Yuanzhou's voice came from downstairs.

"Little Locust Tree".

Luo Huai stopped and looked downstairs.

Mother Xing stood up and said, "Yuanzhou, Luo Huai has things to do and can't come down."

“Auntie, I am from Xiaohuai’s family. It would be impolite for Xiaohuai not to see her family when they come.”

Mother Xing was worried that rumors about the two getting along would spread and bring shame to the Xing family, so she sent a servant to wait on the third floor to stop them.

Now, with just a few words from Pei Yuanzhou, she had no choice but to force a smile and nod.

Luo Huai had no choice but to go downstairs.

Various gifts were displayed on the coffee table.

"I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to visit you and Youyou. I just happened to be running some errands nearby today, and these are gifts for you and Youyou that I brought back from abroad."

Pei Youyou, sitting on the sofa unwrapping her gift, pursed her lips, looking incredulous. Was she deliberately using her name to see Luo Huai?

Luo Huai blocked and deleted her brother, and since she couldn't contact him, she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

Now that Luo Huai is married, meeting her brother won't do her any harm; after all, if the reputation is bad, it will only be Luo Huai's.

Seeing her calm expression, Pei Yuanzhou became even more flustered and turned to her, saying, "These are yours. Do you want to see if you like them?"

Luo Huai could detect a hint of cautious flattery in his tone.

Unlike before, when I would calmly and smilingly give gifts.

I don't know what's wrong with me today.

"Thank you, Yuan..." She wanted to say thank you, Brother Yuanzhou, but Xing Yanzhao's cold face suddenly appeared in her mind, so she silently changed her words, "Thank you, President Pei, I like the gift very much."

They said they liked it without even looking at it.

They even called him President Pei.

You can tell it's just a polite remark.

Knowing that she was still angry, Pei Yuanzhou panicked even more.

He wanted to go up and say something, but remembering that Aunt Xing and his sister were still there, he barely managed to hold back.

"Xiao Huai, there's something I want to talk to you about in private."

Mother Xing gave Luo Huai a warning look, reminding him not to forget the Xing family rules: no matter what happened before, everything must be severed now.

Even without Xing's mother reminding her, Luo Huai knew she needed to keep her distance from Pei Yuanzhou, especially after what her aunt had said.

not worth it.

Pei Yuanzhou is not worth it.

"President Pei, please say what you have to say here."

Luo Huai's words relieved Xing's mother, who nodded and thought to herself that Luo Huai was sensible.

Pei Yuanzhou knew that what he wanted to say wasn't appropriate to ask in front of others, and seeing that Luo Huai refused to talk to him alone, a brilliant idea suddenly came to him.

“I’ve been searching through the storage room these past few days and found some of your parents’ things. I wanted to talk to you about them.”

Luo Huai was taken aback and asked in confusion, "How come my parents' things are with you?"

Pei Yuanzhou: "I often saw your parents when I was a child. This was a gift from them. The day before you were born, I had a meal with your parents and took a group photo. It was also found in the storage room."

"Let's talk outside," Luo Huai said, walking outside.

Pei Yuanzhou smiled and nodded at Xing's mother, then turned and followed her out.

Before Xing's mother could say anything, Pei Youyou stopped her and said, "Mom, don't worry, there are so many servants watching over the house, nothing will happen. I just happen to have something I want to tell you. My aunt's latest drama is really awful, and netizens are criticizing it to death!"

Xing's mother's attention immediately shifted.

Listening to Pei Youyou talk about Tang Zhu's new drama, although Tang Zhu herself wasn't mentioned, the entire drama was, and Tang Zhu's investment was also involved. Now, all the money invested has gone down the drain.

Xing's mother was happy inside, but she only smiled faintly on the surface.

Listening to Pei Youyou's complaints and complaints, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Over the years, no one has dared to mention Tang Zhu in front of her, whether it's good or bad.

She had been holding her breath.

Now someone has finally taken her place.

Xing's mother also felt that Pei Youyou was a very good daughter-in-law, with only a few minor flaws that were not serious.

……

Luo Huai and Pei Yuanzhou arrived in the garden.

The cold winter wind was howling.

Pei Yuanzhou suggested going to a sheltered place.

Since we're avoiding the wind, we should also avoid people. If things go wrong, we won't be able to clear our names even if we jump into the Yellow River.

Luo Huai told him to speak here.

Pei Yuanzhou took off his coat to put it on Luo Huai, saying, "I just heard you ask someone to make brown sugar eggs. Are you on your period? Don't get cold."

Luo Huai stepped aside to avoid the question and asked directly, "What do you want to say about my parents' things? Or do you want to give them to me? If you do, thank you."

“I’ll give it to you another day. I not only found the things your parents gave me in the storage room, but also a lot of your drawings, diaries, and crafts from when you were little.”

"In your drawings, at first there were only Mom and Dad, but later it was only you and me. The little figure you drew would hold my hand and affectionately call me Brother Yuanzhou..."

Luo Huai frowned. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Pei Yuanzhou simply gazed at her, his eyes growing affectionate, and continued, "In your diary, you only write the good things, never the bad. It's all about me. I pick you up from school, you lean against me to sleep, and especially one of those pages, where I go to your parent-teacher conference, you not only drew me, but also..."

“You have absolutely nothing to tell me about my parents,” Luo Huai interrupted him hastily. “You’re lying to me, I don’t want to hear it.”

She turned and left.

She clearly remembered that the painting was tucked inside her textbook. She lost the textbook and the painting together, so how did it end up in the Pei family's storage room?

Why did Pei Yuanzhou go to the storage room to look for something?

Why are you coming to her to say these things now?

Luo Huai felt flustered and confused.

She's leaving.

Pei Yuanzhou wouldn't let her go, and relentlessly pulled her aside, describing the contents of the painting.

"You not only drew me, but you also drew yourself. During the parent-teacher conference, only the parents were in the classroom; none of you students were there. But you still drew yourself sitting next to me, leaning on the desk and looking at me. There was a sentence in the conversation bubble..."

"Pei Yuanzhou!" Luo Huai turned around and shouted at him, speaking with such a loud voice for the first time. His face was flushed red from exerting all his strength, and the corners of his eyes were also red.

She shook her head and said, "Enough, stop talking. It's all in the past. This is the Xing family home. Are you deliberately trying to make my life difficult?"

The message bubble reads: I want to marry Brother Yuanzhou.

Pei Yuanzhou realized he had overreacted, took a deep breath, and asked, "Xiao Huai, I just wanted to ask you if you like me too?"

It's no different from simply saying the line from the painting.

Luo Huai's pupils contracted, and when he saw Xing's father and Xing Zhengyu returning from outside, he was completely dumbfounded.

They definitely heard it.
