I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

196 Saying I Love You During Kissing

At this moment, Pei Jingzhou put on his jacket and walked over. “I’ve already let you have my wife for an hour. Haven’t you talked enough?”

The expression on Han Qianye’s face drooped. “What do you mean by that?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Then I won’t let you do it next time.”

Han Qianye immediately compromised. “Alright, alright, alright. I won’t disturb you two.”

!!

Li Xiwu suppressed a smile and went out for a walk with Pei Jingzhou. The night was colder than the day. The words would steam intermittently under the light.

Pei Jingzhou knew that her hands were prone to coldness. Before coming out, he took out the leather gloves from his coat and put them on her. The leather gloves had inner velvet and were windproof.

Li Xiwu looked at her hands. “It’s just a little big.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Your hands are too small.”

Li Xiwu smiled brightly. “How can a woman’s hand compare to a man’s?”

Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways. “You didn’t answer my call today.”

As they chatted, the topic suddenly cut off. Li Xiwu was slightly stunned and raised her eyebrows to look into Pei Jingzhou’s eyes.

Pei Jingzhou continued to ask her, “Is it because you don’t want to answer it, or are you too busy to answer it?”

Li Xiwu looked away and lowered her eyes. “Fourth Brother, do you really want an answer?”

The probability of the former was very high. Pei Jingzhou did not want to embarrass himself. “I was just asking.”

Buzz buzz buzz.

The phone in her pocket was vibrating. Li Xiwu took off her leather gloves and handed them to Pei Jingzhou. With a natural gesture, Pei Jingzhou’s lips curled. She took out her phone. The caller ID was Yuanyuan.

Li Xiwu had a bad feeling. After telling Pei Jingzhou that she’s picking up an important call, she went to the side to answer it.

Yuanyuan’s calm voice came from the phone. “Miss Li.”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips. “Tell me.”

Yuanyuan said, “Sister Weiling brought Qi Zishen home.”

Li Xiwu gripped her phone. “She wasn’t photographed, was she?”

Yuanyuan sounded sad. “I’m not sure if she was photographed, but Qi Zishen has always been cautious. I don’t think so.”

What’s done is done. Li Xiwu sighed softly. In the end, she still went the wrong way.

“So what if it was taken? It won’t affect Qi Zishen at all. He still has some ability since he did not screw it up after so many years. If he admits that Weiling is his girlfriend, it’s fine. If it’s just for fun…”

The outcome was obvious.

Yuanyuan’s choked voice said, “I really don’t understand why she cut off her escape route in advance.”

Li Xiwu comforted her. “There are many stops on the way. No one will accompany anyone through the entire journey.”

Yuanyuan said, “But what makes me feel the most uncomfortable is that Sister Weiling let you down. Sister Xie Wen was bewitched by a scumbag. She couldn’t escape from mental control herself. Sister Weiling is awake, but this time, she was sober enough to see that she had made a mistake.”

Li Xiwu said lightly, “Yuanyuan, everything is not irreversible yet. Do your job first.”

Yuanyuan agreed. “Okay.”

She ended the call. Li Xiwu looked up at the moon hanging in the night. Unknowingly, Pei Jingzhou walked behind her and pulled her into his arms. “Troublesome matter?”

Li Xiwu felt a lump in her throat. “Fourth Brother, what do you think human nature is?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “People are born good.”

Li Xiwu murmured the words Pei Jingzhou had said. It was a sentence that everyone could memorize, and sometimes it was a very helpless sentence.

Pei Jingzhou leaned close to Li Xiwu’s ear. “Of course, there’s another answer.”

Li Xiwu said, “Huh?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Appetite and lust are only natural.”

Li Xiwu: “…”

–

The two of them did not stay at the Pei residence and returned to Lake Lu.

Pei Jingzhou, who had been vegetarian for a while, had eaten meat tonight.

Li Xiwu thought that he would catch her and torture her with all his might, but Pei Jingzhou acted like a human tonight. Even Li Xiwu was surprised. However, she controlled her mouth very well, afraid that she would suffer if she asked another question.

The next day, she got up early to prepare. The production team’s car and cameraman would arrive at nine.

A WeChat notification sounded. She picked up her phone.

Han Qianye: [I’m coming over, okay?]

Han Qianye: [Can I come over now?]

Han Qianye: [I’m already packed. I heard that the live broadcast has started.]

Li Xiwu typed a reply: [Sure, I’m packed too.]

“Fourth Brother.” She was about to tell Pei Jingzhou that she was leaving.

Pei Jingzhou, who came out, scooped up his jacket from the chair. “Let’s go.”

Li Xiwu also took her bag. “Fourth Brother, are you going to the company?”

Pei Jingzhou smiled. “What else?”

The management of Lake Lu’s property was strict. The production team’s cars could not be driven in casually, especially the cameramen, because there were also some other celebrities living in Lake Lu.

The live broadcast was on. More than 700,000 online netizens were watching the Lu Lake mansion—

...

[I’ve been waiting for three days this time. My flowers are withering.]

[My appetizer variety show is finally back. I’m happy.]

[I heard that they are not gathering at Fu Town this episode, I’m looking forward to the single-line mission ~]

[F*ck! This is Lake Lu!]

[Mother Dragon and her husband actually live in Lake Lu!]

[The first day of the variety show should start recording from Lake Lu. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been suspected of being a fake wealthy family for so long.]

[Living in Lake Lu might not be billionaires, but they must be very rich. After all, any house starts at 200 to 300 million.]

[Many celebrities also live in Lake Lu’s neighborhood. It doesn’t feel bad. The really rich top tycoons live in Tan Hua Mansion.]

[How can Lake Lu compare to Tan Hua Mansion? You can buy Lake Lu as long as you have a few hundred million yuan. Tan Hua Mansion is priceless. Moreover, only people with status can buy it.]

[Tan Hua Mansion is too high-level. Actually, Lake Lu is already very good. Can ordinary people live in a house worth 200 to 300 million yuan?]

[That’s right. Why would you worry about other people’s houses worth 350 million yuan with a salary of 3,500 yuan?]

...

The popularity of the live-stream was slowly rising. It quickly rose from more than 700,000 to more than 1.5 million. Under the gaze of millions of netizens, a low-key Bentley slowly drove out of Lake Lu and stopped opposite the business car with Mother-in-Law Joy’s logo.

Inside the Bentley, Li Xiwu reached for the door and was about to get out of the car. Pei Jingzhou coughed lightly. Li Xiwu paused and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou.

Pei Jingzhou looked at her. “Aren’t you going to kiss me?”

Li Xiwu was not pretentious. As if it was a routine matter, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Pei Jingzhou’s neck to kiss him. After a light kiss, Li Xiwu retreated. “Fourth Brother, is this okay?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “There’s no emotion in the kiss. There’s no technique.”

Li Xiwu blinked and said with a bright smile, “I have to say that I love you while kissing.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “That’s a good suggestion.”

Li Xiwu looked at Pei Jingzhou’s gaze. Just now, she had hooked one hand around Pei Jingzhou’s neck. This time, she raised her other hand and wrapped both hands around his neck.

After a deep stare, her delicate lips parted. “I love you.”

Pei Jingzhou’s pupils contracted. The next second, Li Xiwu kissed him.
