Li Xiwu’s face was expressionless. “My schedule is very full. I might not have much time.”

Gu Lanshi immediately asked, “Are you free tonight?”

Li Xiwu frowned. “Not tonight.”

Gu Lanshi asked, “Why not?”

Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. “What does that have to do with you?”

Gu Lanshi could not hide the disappointment in his expression. “I thought you would want to know.”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips. “Actually, I’m not that curious.”

The credibility of Gu Lanshi’s words was not high. Moreover, there was a certain risk in meeting him alone. Li Xiwu, who had been tricked once, naturally would not be easily tricked a second time. Even if she went to meet him alone, she had to be prepared. She would not go so easily.

However, Li Xiwu thought about it carefully before making the necessary preparations. Instead of listening to what Gu Lanshi might say to her, she might as well get information from Pei Jingzhou. Why should she trust an outsider but not her husband?!

Xue Jinzhu was confused. “What are you guys talking about? I don’t understand a word.”

After listening to it, she could barely hear one sentence. Gu Lanshi wanted to ask Sister Li out today! !

Gu Lanshi took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiwu. “This is my phone number.”

Just as Li Xiwu took the business card, Xue Jinzhu pushed Gu Lanshi to the other side. As they walked, she lowered her voice and said, “What’s wrong with you? I already said that Sister Li’s group is a real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She has a husband. How can you provoke her?”

Without giving Gu Lanshi a chance to speak, Xue Jinzhu continued in a serious tone, “Who doesn’t like a mature sister? I admit that Sister Li’s style makes people want to conquer her, but you can’t. That’s because the man who conquered Sister Li is very strong. You can’t be his match at all.”

These were Xue Jinzhu’s honest words. She hoped that after Gu Lanshi listened, he would back off. In the end, she looked up and saw that Gu Lanshi was angry!

His expression seemed to be filled with anger. “Is it Pei Jingzhou?” Xue Jinzhu was stunned. “So you know who Sister Li’s husband is.”

Gu Lanshi said coldly, “How can I not know?”

Xue Jinzhu was surprised. “Then why do you still want to get close to Sister Li? Is there something wrong with you?”

Gu Lanshi: ‘

He had wanted to reason with her.

However, Gu Lanshi ignored her and drove away with a cold expression.

Xue Jinzhu watched the car drive away and muttered with her hands on her hips, “What kind of person is this? Don’t you know your own worth? How dare you covet President Pei’s wife!”

Tao Jing walked over and heard Xue Jinzhu muttering something with her hands on her hips. When she got closer, she couldn’t hear clearly, so she guessed and asked, “Jinzhu, did you quarrel with your boyfriend?”

Xue Jinzhu turned around and continued, “That’s right. We’ve quarreled, but husband and wife still quarrel. It shouldn’t be a big deal for a couple to quarrel, right?”

Tao Jing couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s nothing to begin with, especially now that you’re a couple. It’s time for you to get used to each other.”

Xue Jinzhu seemed to have thought of something. She suppressed the corners of her lips that were about to curl up and said, “I think my boyfriend is just so-so. Actually, he’s not that good. He has a lot of bad habits and is always cold and violent to me. I think this fate is coming to an end.”

When Tao Jing heard that the situation was so serious, her first reaction was not to persuade her to reconcile. Instead, she asked, “Is he really cold and violent towards you?”

Xue Jinzhu thought to herself that since everyone did not know Gu Lanshi well, she would just spout nonsense. “That’s right, he’s a Scorpio. He’s self-centered and cold and violent at the drop of a hat. Back then, I was bewitched by his appearance and loved him to death. Only then did I know how difficult it was to get along with him.”

It was easy for girls to empathize with each other. Especially when it comes to relationships.

When Tao Jing heard Xue Jinzhu’s words, her heart ached. “Then there’s no way you can maintain your relationship.”

Xue Jinzhu sighed. “That’s right. It’s too tiring to be together. Look, just now, he just left without a word. He didn’t care about my feelings at all. I thought that I would take it one step at a time. After the program is over, I’ll have a good chat with him. Will we be together or will we be apart?”

Tao Jing was very moved. “Then you must consider it carefully. You still have many choices when you’re in love. Don’t let yourself suffer.”

Hearing Tao Jing’s tone, Xue Jinzhu guessed that she was not as happy as she seemed.

Li Xiwu had already gotten into the car that came to pick her up.

The driver said, “Madam, Mr. Pei said that he wants to go to the supermarket to buy groceries. He asked me to drive you to the entrance of the market and wait for a while. Mr. Pei is coming from the company.”

Li Xiwu had no objections. “Anything is fine.”

The driver nodded and adjusted the navigation to go to the largest supermarket nearby. A few minutes later, the car stopped at the open-air parking lot.

Li Xiwu waited quietly in the car for two to three minutes. During this time, she did not drink much of the remaining half cup of milk tea in her hand. The main reason was that she was a little tired of it.

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the car window.

Li Xiwu glanced sideways and saw Pei Jingzhou standing outside the door. She pushed open the car door and got out. “Fourth Brother.”

Pei Jingzhou held a mask in his hand and helped her put it on. He explained, “I don’t want my wife to be dragged to take a photo with me while we’re walking.”

The mask covered half of her face.

Li Xiwu smiled brightly. “Then are you wearing a mask?”

“Yes.” After saying that, Pei Jingzhou took out a mask and put it on.

Li Xiwu did not notice it when she was wearing it because she could not see it. When she noticed the mask on Pei Jingzhou’s face, she realized that the two of them were wearing matching masks. The pattern was a heart shape that could be combined.

The two of them entered hand in hand.

Li Xiwu asked, “What about Yaoyao? Has Madam Di Xin picked him up?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Mhm.”

Li Xiwu was a little disappointed. “The little guy didn’t even say goodbye to me.”

Pei Jingzhou: “He’s probably going back to Country T.”

Li Xiwu’s hand that was wrapped around Pei Jingzhou’s arm moved down and held his hand instead. “Fourth Brother, you said that we would adopt a child in the future. If we work hard, do you think we can adopt Yaoyao?”

Of course, Pei Jingzhou knew what she was thinking. “It might not be that easy.”

Li Xiwu said, “Huh?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Yaoyao was adopted in Country T. The procedures are very simple, but Madam Di Xin might not agree.”

Li Xiwu thought for a moment and said, “That’s true. Madam Di Xin has been adopting Yaoyao for so many years. She already has deep feelings for Yaoyao. Why would she let someone else adopt him so easily?”

Pei Jingzhou stopped in his tracks. Li Xiwu also stopped. He cast a sidelong glance at Li Xiwu and asked in a serious tone, “You want to adopt Yaoyao?” Did she? Li Xiwu had an uncertain answer in her heart.

Pei Jingzhou saw Li Xiwu’s hesitation and told her firmly, “You have to be responsible for adoption. Once you’re sure, I can give it a try..”
