"Oh?" Qin Sisi raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on her face. "If you're not belittling me, then you're praising me?"
"Sisi." Lu Yibai looked down at her, the coldness and sarcasm in his eyes instantly turning into tenderness.
"Sisi, don't be anxious, let me explain to you slowly."
Qin Sisi: "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yibai explain slowly."
Lu Yibai smiled and said, "We've been in love for so long, even if we've had some disagreements, I won't easily say anything to hurt you. What I said just now wasn't to humiliate you, but to remind you."
"A reminder to return to reality and not be led by the nose by a false desire to compare yourself to others."
"You are still young and have a chance. You must not get caught up in the trap you set for yourself."
"..." Qin Sisi looked up at him without saying a word.
He raised his hand and gently stroked Qin Sisi's hair, his eyes filled with a hidden heartache.
"We've been together for four years and done everything intimate. Although we're having some disagreements right now, it doesn't stop me from caring for you. I'm a person who's stubborn but soft-hearted; many times I've already compromised in my heart, but I still can't let it go with my words."
"Sisi, you've been with me for so long, don't you understand me yet?"
"..."
Qin Sisi's eyes glazed over for a few moments, and the hard edges on her body softened little by little amidst the conflicting emotions.
She was shaken.
“Sigh…” Lu Yibai sighed at the right moment, “Sisi, I admit that I’m not exactly a respectable person. But most of my less respectable things were for you.”
“Back then, I came to Yuncheng all alone, without any family or friends. Starting a business is extremely difficult, and I would never have been able to make a name for myself in Yuncheng without the help of others.”
“I liked you so much back then, but your father looked down on me. In order to prove myself and to make a name for myself so that you could live a life that everyone would envy, I had no choice but to climb up the ladder by taking advantage of the Qin Group.”
“I’m a man, I have dignity, and many times I feel ashamed of myself. The Qin Group helped me, but I feel like I’m taking advantage of them.”
“I went through a lot of pain during that time. I was conflicted, anxious, and uneasy, and I couldn’t sleep all night. It was Sisi who stayed by my side every step of the way, and she helped me slowly get out of my emotional state.”
“I still remember what Sisi told me. Sisi said that we will be a family in the future, and it is okay to share resources for the time being; Sisi also said that everything I have done is for our future, and it is only right for the Qin Group to do something for me.”
Lu Yibai's words were soft and gentle, like hypnosis, taking Qin Sisi back to that difficult yet sweet time.
At that time, her relationship with Lu Yibai was really good, so good that everyone around her was envious.
"Sisi." Lu Yibai opened his arms and gently pulled Qin Sisi into his embrace. "As you said, we are the most compatible partners. As long as we join hands again, we will definitely be able to complete the mission beautifully."
Are you ready to win the battle?
"..." Qin Sisi did not speak.
Lu Yibai was wearing his usual perfume, a cool and refreshing scent like a forest after the rain, which could calm people down as soon as they smelled it.
Qin Sisi closed her eyes, and her body, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed slowly at this moment, and she nestled peacefully into Lu Yibai's arms.
Lu Yibai curled his lips into a smile, but the smile couldn't reach his eyes.
"Sisi, I've already figured out a way to deal with Pei Xingzhi. You just need to cooperate with me."
Qin Sisi's voice softened: "How can we cooperate?"
Lu Yibai: "The same old trick is being used again, but the protagonist is no longer Weilan Studio, but..."
"Qin Group." Qin Sisi suddenly opened her eyes.
……
"Ah!"
"Ah sneeze!!"
Xie Zhaoyuan was watching the banquet for the full moon celebration when she suddenly sneezed twice.
"Oh dear." Pei's mother put down the toy she was holding and quickly came over to gently pat Xie Zhaoyuan's back. "Why have you been sneezing so much these past few days? Have you caught a cold because you're not dressed warmly enough?"
"It shouldn't be." Xie Zhaoyuan rubbed her nose. "It's very warm at home, and I'm wearing a lot of clothes, so I haven't felt cold at all."
Mother Pei took the shawl that was draped over her shoulders and carefully draped it over her body: "If you're not cold, then why are you sneezing so much?"
Xie Zhaoyuan thought for a moment and joked, "Maybe someone is talking badly about me behind my back. After all, I'm a super internet celebrity and a well-known jewelry designer now, so there must be a lot of people who are envious and jealous of me behind my back."
"..." Even Pei's mother was amused by her narcissism. "Your personality isn't much more mature than Xiang Xiang's."
“Mother-in-law, you’re exaggerating.” Bai Ruiying walked over with Xiangxiang in her arms and sat down next to Pei’s mother. “Zhaozhao’s level of immaturity is clearly similar to Xiangxiang’s. When Xiangxiang gets a little older, he can learn to take care of his mother.”
"My goodness!" Song Yihuan came downstairs carrying a tablet. "Wow, she's so precocious! She's only a few months old and she can already take care of her mother?"
Pei Lingxuan: "Absolutely. In the plan I set for Xiangxiang, she should start cooking in the kitchen when she is four months old."
"..." Pei's mother was speechless. "I'll thank you on Xiangxiang's behalf."
"Hi," Pei Lingxuan waved her hand modestly, "It's nothing."
"Zhao Zhao." Song Yihuan slipped on her slippers and snuggled close to Xie Zhaoyuan as if she were cold. "How was the banquet? Was there anything you were particularly satisfied with?"
Xie Zhaoyuan shook her head: "I looked at many banquets, but in the end I still think the one Dad chose is better."
"Mom, how about we book the one Dad recommended?"
Bai Ruiying: "I also think that hotel is good, and the owner of that hotel is your father's good friend. If we really book with them, we should be able to get a good price."
Song Yihuan: "So it's decided then?"
"No rush." Bai Ruiying put Xiangxiang in the crib, straightened up and stretched her back. "Let's wait for Xingzhi and Xiaoyi to come home, and then we'll let them know before making a decision."
“Pei Xingzhi made his decision a long time ago!” Xie Zhaoyuan put away her tablet and said with a smile, “Pei Xingzhi was with Dad when he was choosing the banquet, and this hotel was their unanimous choice.”
Bai Ruiying: "Then let's not wait any longer. Let's book the banquet here. Huanhuan will just let Xiaoyi know when he gets back tonight."
"Hahaha!" Song Yihuan laughed mischievously. "Xiao Yi's status in the family is even lower than that of the turtle in the fish tank!"
