Li Xiwu turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Although she was not on speaker, the two of them were extremely close. Pei Jingzhou should have heard what Han Qianye said.

Just as she thought, Pei Jingzhou had indeed heard her. He freed his hand to take the phone from her hand and said to Han Qianye, “Madam Di Xin has already taken Yaoyao away.”

Han Qianye was surprised. “You’re letting her take him away just like that? Hey, although I don’t know how you arranged it, isn’t it better to leave him at the Pei residence than with Madam Di Xin?”

Pei Jingzhou said calmly, “Why don’t you listen to what you’re saying?

“What am I talking about? I’m talking about, uh… when are you and Xixi coming back?” Han Qianye was slow for a few seconds before she quickly reacted and stopped talking.

Pei Jingzhou said, “On the way back.”

Han Qianye said that she understood and hurriedly hung up.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet. Pei Jingzhou looked sideways and saw Li Xiwu resting her chin on her hand and quietly looking out of the car window.

Without needing Li Xiwu to ask, Pei Jingzhou explained himself, “The first time Mom saw Yaoyao, she felt that Yaoyao looked a little like me when I was young, so she joked that Yaoyao was my illegitimate son.”

Li Xiwu’s eyelids twitched. She turned around and looked up at him. “Fourth Brother, do you think I’ve misunderstood?”

“Even if you didn’t misunderstand, I think it’s necessary to explain,” he said softly.

Li Xiwu smiled brightly. “I was indeed a little puzzled just now, but after thinking about it, I felt that Auntie should be talking about Yaoyao. I didn’t expect you to be right.”

Pei Jingzhou, who was hugging her, smiled.

At this moment, Li Xiwu suddenly asked, “Did Yaoyao really look like you when you were young?

Pei Jingzhou said in an uncertain tone, “I can’t remember what I looked like when I was young because the last time I saw a photo of me when I was young was more than ten years ago.”

Li Xiwu believed this. Han Qianye might flip through the photo album when she is bored. Pei Jingzhou would not look at photos of his childhood for no reason. She slowly sat up straight. “Since Auntie said that you look alike, you should look a little alike. When we get back to the Pei residence later, I’ll ask Auntie about Fourth Brother’s childhood photos and compare them.”

Pei Jingzhou replied, “Okay.”

It was a ten-minute drive.

The car drove into Tan Hua Mansion. Han Qianye waited for a long time before finally seeing Li Xiwu. She came out in a hurry and took Li Xiwu’s hand as they walked in. “You should like all the dishes tonight,” she said.

Li Xiwu was not very resistant to Han Qianye i s enthusiasm and calmly adapted. Pei You’an was not around today, and Pei Jiao would be back very late, so there were only four of them for dinner.

Just as the meal was about to start, the butler, Uncle Dong, hurried in. “Madam, Mrs. Zhou is here.”

Mrs. Zhou, Lin Yourong.

Han Qianye was pulling Li Xiwu along and talking about happy things. When she heard the butler say that Lin Yourong was here, her bright and lively face pulled down in the next second.

Although she had not liked Lin Yourong much recently, there had to be etiquette. Since she was already here, she naturally couldn’t chase her away with a cold expression.

Han Qianye turned to Li Xiwu and said, “I’ll go pick up Yourong.”

Li Xiwu agreed. “Okay.”

Then, Han Qianye stood up and walked out. Before anyone could hear her voice, Lin Yourong’s smiling voice sounded. “Qianye? Qianye?”

Han Qianye walked out. “Coming, coming.”

Lin Yourong had been to Tan Hua Manor several times. Coupled with her identity, she would be let in.

Not long after her car arrived outside the Pei residence, she saw Han Qianye, who had come out to welcome her. She was overjoyed. She walked closer and quickly held Han Qianye’s hand, saying in a reproachful tone, “I haven’t seen you for a long time. Do you know how much I missed you?

The two sisters were used to holding hands, but Han Qianye was not used to it.

Perhaps because of what happened last time, she was still a little disgusted. However, Han Qianye was still passable on the surface. “I’ve been busy recording the show recently and don’t have much free time. I forgot about you.”

Lin Yourong asked, “There’s only the last episode left, right?”

Han Qianye said, “Yes, there’s still the last episode.”

“You’re finally done recording,” Lin Yourong said. “When the episode is over, I’ll accompany you to relax. Rolls-Royce has arranged a fragrance art salon. It’s the day after you finished recording the last episode. I’ve already made time.”

Han Qianye nodded. “Alright, I’ll bring Xixi along.”

Lin Yourong’s smile froze. “Qianye, your relationship with Li Xiwu has been getting better and better recently.”

Han Qianye changed the topic and asked, ‘IWhy are you here tonight?”

Lin Yourong’s lukewarm voice said, “I missed you. You blocked me and didn’t reply to my WeChat contact. I had something on during the day, so I had time to come over at night.”

Han Qianye:

If not for Lin Yourong’s reminder, Han Qianye would have forgotten that she had already blocked Lin Yourongs number.

Han Qianye laughed dryly. “Maybe I made a mistake. I’ll pull it out for you later. As for WeChat, I haven’t used it much recently.”

Lin Yourong did not expose her openly. “Then you have to quickly pull me out of the blacklist. Also, look at WeChat more often.”

Han Qianye nodded and pulled Lin Yourong in. “You came just in time. I was about to start dinner.”

Lin Yourong was surprised. “It’s already half past six. You haven’t had dinner turned around and asked, “You’ve eaten?”

“I ate before I came,” Lin Yourong teased. ‘Otherwise, if I came over at this time, wouldn’t I be deliberately freeloading? I thought you had eaten too.”

“Not yet,” Han Qianye said. “Xixi’s work ended a little late today, so dinner naturally started a little later.”

Lin Yourong’s expression changed slightly when she heard Han Qianye call out “Xixi” intimately. Not only did she not get a divorce on this variety show, but their relationship also became better and better. It was annoying.

In the living room, Li Xiwu had already gotten up.

She looked up and saw Lin Yourong walking beside Han Qianye. She greeted her politely, “Mrs. Zhou.”

Lin Yourong sized up Li Xiwu. “I can only see you on the live broadcast usually. I’m finally seeing you in person today. You’re so beautiful. You’re much more beautiful than on the live broadcast.”

Li Xiwu was humble. “Thank you. Mrs. Zhou, you look very good too.”

Lin Yourong said, “My complexion is all taken care of. How can I compare to a young girl like you?

Li Xiwu was unperturbed. “I thought Mrs. Zhou’s complexion was natural, especially the luster of your skin. I feel ashamed.”

Lin Yourong smiled calmly. “You’re too modest.”

Today was the first time Lin Yourong had come into direct contact with Li Xiwu. She had only seen her from afar..
