Zhixi opened her eyes wide in astonishment.
She never expected Liu Minjun would actually agree!
As for character... she wouldn’t dare vouch for Pei Yuanchen.
"Auntie, Ziyi has a simple personality; she might not even understand what liking someone means yet. Sometimes, her fondness for a person is no different from liking a toy. I think there’s no rush in this matter," Zhixi thought for a moment and said.
"That’s true," Liu Minjun nodded, "Let’s observe for a while then."
"Mm-hmm," Zhixi nodded.
After Liu Minjun left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If He Jingyao knew his sister was about to be fooled by Pei Yuanchen, he would definitely be furious.
Thinking of this, she laughed, but a wave of sadness and longing still surged in her heart.
She missed him—missed him very, very much.
In the afternoon, Zhixi found Pei Yuanchen and conveyed Liu Minjun’s words to him.
The result was Pei Yuanchen jumped three feet high in fright!
"How is that possible?"
"Auntie said she trusts your character because you’re my brother," Zhixi looked at him sternly, "But I wouldn’t dare vouch for your character. Listen to me, unless you intend to marry Ziyi and be good to her for a lifetime, don’t mess with her."
Pei Yuanchen felt wronged.
Clearly, it’s this young lady who’s been messing with him, right?
But if He Ziyi keeps popping in unexpectedly, he’s really afraid he might not be able to hold back one day and just go through with it.
Pei Yuanchen resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said grumpily, "Fine, I’ll move out today."
"Don’t tell me you really have some beastly ideas?" Zhixi glared at him.
"That’s not the point; the point is this is Miss He’s home!" Pei Yuanchen still sounded grumpy, "Enough said, I’m moving out now. Don’t worry, I won’t live too far away. Call me if you need anything."
Zhixi nodded a bit dazedly.
When Pei Yuanchen took leave from Liu Minjun, he fabricated a reasonable excuse, and Liu Minjun agreed readily. However, He Ziyi’s face was covered in visible disappointment.
Pei Yuanchen persisted in not looking at her. After saying goodbye to Xiaobao, he left breezily.
Zhixi saw Ziyi’s tearful face and couldn’t help but curse inwardly, Pei Yuanchen really is a beast.
He Ziyi looked at her with teary eyes, "Sister-in-law, did Uncle Xiaobao leave because of me?"
"No, he really has something to do, Ziyi," Zhixi said gently, "Don’t be sad; you’ll see him again in a few days."
He Ziyi sniffled and nodded earnestly, "Mm."
She still had such a childlike heart; soon she threw aside her sadness and started playing around with Xiaobao.
Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh.
As time passed, Zhixi’s belly noticeably grew bigger.
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed, during which three very serious terrorist attacks occurred in Country Z.
One of them targeted Zhuo Yuwei, and the other two against Ning Ruixin; both even suffered minor injuries, causing their speeches and voting campaign activities to be suspended.
Both presidential candidates were under terrorist threat, which plunged the country’s citizens into panic.
No one knew when the terrorists had infiltrated, and the internet was flooded with speculations and rumors, which were causing more panic without providing any truth.
However, what worried Zhixi more was that He Jingyao still hadn’t returned. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveIＦire.net
