Chapter 2789: Chapter 1733: Reading Comprehension

“What are those two kids doing?”

The takeout had already been brought in and laid out on the dining table, but the people were nowhere to be seen, and even the ones who went to call them hadn’t returned.

Li Wanrong stood up, “You guys sit here for a while, I’ll go up and take a look.”

“Alright.”

Seeing her sister-in-law walk to the stairs, Pei Ning exchanged a look with her husband, and then the couple made their way into the dining room.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t eating?”

Pei Linhan was setting the table. There were a lot of things ordered—noodles, porridge, buns, fried dough…

What a pity.

It’s not like being in a train pulled by a donkey.

The big brother was just like that, annoyingly pretentious.

“Brother, tell me the truth.”

With her own brother, there’s no need to beat around the bush. Pei Ning went straight to the point, “The person upstairs isn’t just Duoduo’s boss, right?”

Pei Linhan pretended not to hear, calling her brother-in-law, “King Bin, sit down first.”

“Brother～”

Pei Ning leaned over, nudging his arm, “You’re keeping secrets even from me? Rest assured, I won’t tell a soul; not even Li’er, that girl.”

Pei Linhan gave her a sidelong glance, “Why ask me? Wouldn’t it be easier to ask directly when they come down later?”

Pei Ning gave him a shove, “No wonder sister-in-law always scolds you, you bring it on yourself, you deserve it!”

“Look at you, just like your sister-in-law, getting all worked up after a few words.” Pei Linhan shook his head.

Pei Ning couldn’t help but stomp her foot, “I really sympathize with sister-in-law. If King Bin acted like you, I would’ve left him long ago.”

“I sympathize with King Bin too.”

Pei Ning stomped her foot again.

“Alright, why are you so anxious?” Luo Binwang had to step in to cool things down,

“Duoduo’s my niece, shouldn’t I be concerned? I watched her grow up; when she was little, I even changed her diapers!”

Luo Binwang, with his scholarly demeanor, seemed slightly awkward, “Why bring all that up?”

Pei Ning redirected her attention, “It’s not just me, brother. Our whole family, all the relatives, they’re all keeping an eye on this.”

“It’s not only the relatives, the whole country is watching,” Pei Linhan replied calmly.

Pei Ning laughed.

Luo Binwang smiled as well.

“Brother, you do know a lot of people are curious, right? Everyone is wondering what kind of boyfriend Duoduo will have.”

“Then you might be disappointed, he’s just like the rest of us, with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth…”

“Haha, brother, you slipped up, didn’t you?”

Pei Ning looked smug.

Pei Linhan realized he’d been caught, “You know, your brainpower is only so much, and yet you use it all on me.”

Pei Ning feigned ignorance, “Brother, when did those two get together? How come not a peep was heard? You and sister-in-law really keep a tight lid on things, huh? Planning to surprise us this time, are you?”

Although he appeared calm and indifferent on the surface, Pei Linhan was inwardly quite proud.

Hmm.

He felt a sense of vindication.

He held traditional views, believing that no matter how accomplished or famous his daughter became, being single would still invite gossip and criticism. But surprises always come unexpectedly.

“It’s not even official yet. Let young people handle their matters; we shouldn’t interfere too much,” he said, pretending to be nonchalant.

“Tch～”

As his sister, how could she not see through her brother’s pretense? Having gotten the answer she wanted, Pei Ning looked upstairs, feeling a mix of emotions.

She was, in fact, the aunt, but how could she ever see that girl purely as a niece?

If this news got out, how big of a stir would that cause? The entire internet would crash, wouldn’t it?

“Huh, where are they?”

Li Wanrong, arriving at the guest room, found it empty. She came back out, searching along the second floor, “Duoduo… “

When she finally reached the terrace, the once-close couple had already separated, standing two steps apart. This distance was clear enough that even someone with sharp vision couldn’t imagine any misunderstandings.

“What are you two doing here?”

Li Wanrong stepped onto the terrace, simply baffled.

“There was a bit of a smell, so I washed the pajamas,” Boss Jiang said, showing no signs of anything unusual. He was obviously referring to the stinky bomb that had been sneaked in late at night. Li Wanrong clearly understood but what could she do?

Her daughter was her flesh and blood, after all.

“You could’ve just left it,”

She glanced at the pajamas hanging on the clothesline, choosing not to mention the stinky bomb further.

“To be honest, Auntie, I’m a bit of a germaphobe.”

“…”

Li Wanrong was momentarily taken aback, then she laughed, “Being clean is a good habit, unlike your Uncle Pei, sigh, what a slob…”

“Have you brushed your teeth?”

Pei Yunxi spoke, her face was not charming; rather, it was quite elegant. The traces of earlier discretions had already been erased, handled professionally. Even though just minutes ago she was personally acting out a passionate scene, she’d masked it well enough for late-coming observers to detect no hint.

“What kind of question is that?”

Li Wanrong didn’t immediately comprehend, her gaze shifting back to Jiang Chen’s face, “Jiang, haven’t you brushed yet?”

No, that can’t be.

Behind him was the rising sun; his face seemed to be brightened by a filter, the previous fatigue gone. Clean and bright, it was a delight to behold, not at all like someone who had just woken up.

“I brushed.”

Boss Jiang, who had vigorously swapped germs with the national goddess, showed no embarrassment.

“Did mom give you a toothbrush?”

Pei Yunxi turned to her mother.

“Huh?”

Li Wanrong was momentarily confused but then understood, “Jiang, is there no toothbrush in your room?”

“Oh, sorry, I forgot last night.”

Li Wanrong appeared embarrassed and immediately said, “I’ll get one for you right away.”
