Chapter 6 But we are a legally married couple
Yan Zhuoyu choked on her coffee, and the tips of her fair ears turned red.
"no……"
Pei Weijin was very understanding and waited quietly for her explanation.
Yan Zhuoyu opened a Tencent game on her phone, got up and walked to Pei Weijin's side, leaned down slightly and brought the phone close to his eyes.
"It's this game. I often team up with Zhuyue to play. If we get first place, the celebratory message 'Winner Winner Chicken Dinner' will appear."
Pei Weijin caught a whiff of the faint scent of preserved plum blossoms on her body, and his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the small red mole that was faintly visible on the side of her neck. His eyes darkened slightly in an instant.
He subtly stepped back and said softly, "Yes, I'm sorry, I misunderstood Mrs. Pei."
"?"
Yan Zhuoyu was very close to him and saw his little actions, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing in disbelief.
What do you mean? She just got a little closer, is it really necessary to be so disgusted?
She knew Pei Weijin had a cleanliness obsession, but this was the first time she had ever felt such blatant disdain.
Yan Zhuoyu felt a surge of displeasure and was about to lash out when a black cell phone was handed to her.
The phone's home screen is very simple, with only DingTalk and Tencent Meeting, in addition to WeChat, which is essential for chatting.
Pei Weijin had suppressed his excitement, his voice calm and even: "Help me download one, so we can team up in the future."
"what?"
Yan Zhuoyu was stunned, forgetting what she was about to say.
She had been living with Pei Weijin for almost half a month. This man was always working, so it was normal that he didn't know about this slogan. But why did he suddenly become interested in games?
He even offered to help her download the game.
Pei Weijin patiently repeated, "Help me download it, and we can team up together in the future. I'll carry you to victory."
"what."
Yan Zhuoyu gave a brief laugh, took the phone, and downloaded the same game for him.
He's good at bragging.
She practiced for a long time before developing superb marksmanship; it's hard to say who will lead whom to victory.
After the meal, Pei Weijin actually started a beginner's tutorial.
Yan Zhuoyu sat to the side watching him. Gunshots were loud, but the man in the suit and tie showed no change in expression, as if he were dealing with an important contract.
Not long after, Pei Weijin looked up and said, "I have completed the mission."
Yan Zhuoyu pulled a chair next to him with great interest, but then remembered being "disliked" earlier.
So, in a menacing manner, he pulled the chair away again.
She never keeps her unhappiness to herself; she has to let everyone know that she's unhappy, especially the person who started it.
Pei Weijin was puzzled, but also felt that there must be a reason for her doing so, since he was a novice in games. So he humbly asked, "Is this a ritual before the game starts?"
"No."
"That is?"
Yan Zhuoyu sat in the corner of the private room, the furthest away from him, and said sarcastically, "Didn't President Pei look down on me? I'll stay away from you so as not to upset you."
Pei Weijin: "..."
She kept her head down, and when she didn't get an explanation from the other party, she became even angrier.
When someone else joined them, Pei Weijin pulled up a chair and sat down with her.
The man lowered his head, his gaze falling once more on the small red mole, then slowly moving upwards, his light gray eyes finally revealing emotion.
"I don't mean it's bad, I just suddenly felt like doing it when I saw you."
Yan Zhuoyu stared into his eyes, paused for two seconds, and then her face turned bright red.
"you you you!"
Enraged, she covered Pei Weijin's mouth, "You're not allowed to say such things in broad daylight!"
Pei Weijin said in a serious tone, "But we are a legally married couple."
As he spoke, his warm breath touched Yan Zhuoyu's palm, making her even more shy.
Saying such straightforward words yourself and hearing others say them are completely different experiences.
"Absolutely not! Don't say it!"
Pei Weijin sighed softly, a smile appearing in his eyes, "Mrs. Pei, you weren't like this last night."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!"
Yan Zhuoyu snatched his phone and accepted the team application.
Just as I was about to start the game, the interface froze for a moment, and a message popped up at the top.
[Yan Shuting invites you to a video call]
Yan Zhuoyu frowned, hung up without hesitation, and entered the game with Pei Weijin.
While the game was loading, her father called again.
[Yan Shuting invites you to a video call]
How annoying.
Yan Zhuoyu cursed inwardly and immediately blocked Yan Shuting's number.
Unexpectedly, the other party changed their number and continued to call, as if they would keep calling if she didn't answer the phone today.
Yan Zhuoyu suppressed her temper. "I'll take this call first. I'll follow you. Find a less crowded place to skydive."
Pei Weijin nodded slightly. "Okay."
After the call was connected, a familiar yet annoying middle-aged man's voice rang out.
“Zhuoyu…”
Yan Zhuoyu answered the phone, her tone cold: "I just finished breakfast, so you'd better not say anything disgusting."
On the other end of the phone, Yan Shuting's voice was filled with anger: "I am your father, how dare you speak to me like that!"
“Father?” Yan Zhuoyu sneered, “I thought you were a human trafficker. You almost married me off to a sixty-year-old man for money.”
"I'll let bygones be bygones for what you just said, since you're young."
Yan Shuting dropped the pretense of a kind father and directly commanded, "I've seen the news. How long are you going to cause this trouble? Don't you think you've embarrassed yourself enough?"
"Now that you've married into the Pei family, you should be a proper Mrs. Pei. What kind of behavior is it to show your face in public every day?"
"Quickly leave the entertainment industry and apologize to the Pei family!"
With her back to Pei Weijin, Yan Zhuoyu chuckled and said sarcastically, "What? Wasn't it enough that you forced my mother to her death? Now you want to force me to my death too?"
Yan Shuting flew into a rage, "Insolence! I see you have no manners whatsoever!"
"rule?"
Yan Zhuoyu's eyes were cold: "My mother is quite disciplined. A popular actress announced her retirement from the entertainment industry at the peak of her career for you. What did she get in return?"
"A renowned actress became a housewife, penniless. She even had to call you to ask for permission to buy her daughter a new schoolbag for 50 yuan. Do you remember what you said back then?"
Yan Shuting said impatiently, "Why are you bringing up these old stories? Your mother could have been hit and killed while picking up a coin. She was incredibly stupid. I'm ashamed to even mention her!"
Yan Zhuoyu's voice trembled, becoming slightly sharp with sobs: "That coin was the money we used to take the bus home!"
"Enough with this nonsense. Go apologize to the Pei family right now. Don't let them think you're not presentable. If we get divorced, I won't care about you!"
Just as Yan Zhuoyu was about to retort, a cool hand gently took her phone away.
Pei Weijin gently patted her back a few times and said coldly, "Father-in-law."
His voice was calm and composed, yet exuded the oppressive aura of a superior. Just two words were enough to silence Yan Shuting instantly.
Yan Shuting's voice became extremely gentle, almost ingratiating: "President Pei, what is this...?"
Pei Weijin said calmly, "Is my father-in-law setting rules for the Pei family?"
