"Okay." Pei Yicheng had never objected to her ideas.
"What else?" Xu Nianhua looked at him expectantly,
Meeting her expectant eyes, Pei Yicheng thought briefly and then said, "I’ll try to get more business for your studio in the future. Lou Fan has a wide network."
"As for finding the shop, I’ll handle it," Pei Yicheng continued.
Xu Nianhua quickly interrupted, "No, let us handle it ourselves. The studio isn’t just mine; it belongs to all six of us. We have time; if we can’t find something this week, we’ll find it next week. We’ll definitely find something suitable."
"Getting business is fine," Xu Nianhua said earnestly.
Pei Yicheng thought for a moment and asked, "Did anything special happen when you were out today?"
Xu Nianhua looked at him blankly, suddenly remembering someone seemed to be following them today. Could it be true?
"Was there?" Seeing her expression, Pei Yicheng knew she had noticed something and looked at her encouragingly.
Xu Nianhua said uncertainly, "Yicheng, actually, there wasn’t anything special. It’s just that for a while, I felt someone was following us. Maybe it was just my feeling."
Pei Yicheng specifically asked which road it was, and then he had an idea. He said, "I had Ling Dong send someone to covertly protect you. He might have just arrived and made you aware of his presence. Don’t worry, from now on, if anything happens while you’re out, just call out for number one, and he will show up."
Xu Nianhua blinked and asked, "When did this start?"
Pei Yicheng said without blinking, "Just these days."
"Isn’t that unnecessary? I’m not some rich heiress; what danger could I possibly face when going out?" Xu Nianhua thought he was making too much of it.
On this matter, however, Pei Yicheng wouldn’t back down at all. He could agree to anything else but not this. Not wanting to scare her, he stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Don’t make me worry. Number one won’t interfere with your daily life."
This sudden embrace threw Xu Nianhua’s heart into disarray, and she forgot to mention anything about number one again.
Xu Nianhua didn’t know where to put her hands. Having lived for two lifetimes, this was the first time she’d been held so formally in someone’s arms. She could clearly hear the thumping of his heart against his chest.
The moonlight streamed down through the gaps in the leaves, casting their long, elongated shadows onto the ground.
Pei Yicheng’s voice suddenly rose in her ear.
Xu Nianhua suddenly stood up straight. His words were somewhat baffling.
"Study hard," Pei Yicheng said as he touched her head, feeling her soft hair that still smelled of shampoo. In the dim night, her fair, luminescent face and her bright eyes shone more brilliantly than the stars, making it impossible for him to look away.
"You have classes in your junior year too, right? Is it okay that you’re often not at school?"
"My classes are already in senior year, so I’m currently interning, and Xiyue Hotel is my internship project."
"Speaking of which, Jiayi and the others bought Liunian’s perfume; they all say it smells really good. I see many students at school have bought it too."
"A new product will be released next month; I’ll give you one then."
"I’ll buy it to support your business."
"No way," Pei Yicheng refused, "It’s only right for a boyfriend to give his girlfriend perfume."
Alright, you have the final say.
