Chapter 683 - 683: Don’t Want to Separate (1)

Pei Jiao came out of the house and happened to hear Ji He tell Wei Yu that Minister Lin would hold a banquet tonight.

“Wei Yu,” Pei Jiao shouted at him.

Wei Yu gestured for Ji He to leave first. He turned around and closed the door. “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”

Pei Jiao smiled and said happily, “l slept very well last night. I woke up before you. 1 think I heard Ji He say that Minister Lin is holding a banquet to entertain Grandma tonight?”

Wei Yu avoided Pei Jiao’s gaze and answered irrelevantly as he walked in. “I’m not going to the laboratory today.”

How could Pei Jiao not tell that he was deliberately avoiding this topic? But why would he avoid it? Didn’t she already have Grandma’s approval? He had seen it all. Could it be that he wouldn’t let her go tonight?

That won’t do!

She was definitely going. She would find an opportunity to contact Beike again while she was at it. It would be even better if she could leave tonight.

After making up her mind, Pei Jiao chased him to the bathroom.

Wei Yu rummaged for a razor in the drawer under the sink. As usual, he methodically squeezed out the shaving cream and prepared to shave. Pei Jiao leaned against the door frame and looked at him. She asked curiously, “l secretly kissed you this morning. You clearly didn’t have stubble. Why did you shave?”

Wei Yu’s hand, which was about to squeeze the shaving cream, paused.

The scene of her suddenly kissing his chin when she turned over in the morning quickly appeared in his mind. How could he have thought that she had done it on purpose? He only thought that she had accidentally kissed him when she turned over.

His heart throbbed uncontrollably. He looked up at her. “l shave regularly. I’m used to it.’

“This seems to be a good habit.” Pei Jiao asked.

“Sort of,” he said. Then he raised a hand to her.

Pei Jiao understood his gesture. He was asking her to go in. Obediently, she walked to the sink and propped her arms casually on the side. She raised her face and asked, “Do you want me to shave you? Let me make it clear that I don’t know.”

Wei Yu asked her, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. Do you want to try?”

Pei Jiao nodded. ‘1 1 really want to try shaving my boyfriend, but I’m not confident. I’m afraid I’ll leave a scar on your good-looking face.”

“Isn’t it more manly to leave a scar?” Wei Yu handed her the shaving cream.

Pei Jiao was caught between laughter and tears. “That’s not how you describe a man. Do you think you’re the gray wolf?”

Because there was a scar on the gray wolf’s face. Handsome and masculine.

“If you wish, then I am.” He sounded serious.

Pei Jiao ignored his seriousness and changed the topic. “What’s this called?”

Wei Yu said, “Shaving cream.”

Pei Jiao asked suddenly, “What does it do?”

She was a girl. It was normal for her not to understand the shaving cream boys used. Even if she knew a little, she had to pretend not to know anything.

Wei Yu explained to her, “Applying this can soften the hair and lubricate it. It can also reduce the friction between the blade and the skin. There are also antibacterial components in it…”

“Alright, alright. There’s no need to explain in detail. I don’t need it.” With that, Pei Jiao squeezed out a piece of white paste, “Apply it around your chin, right?”

Wei Yu nodded and looked at her with a smile.

Pei Jiao followed his instructions and used her fingers to wipe his chin bit by bit. This was the first time she had done this. She was not familiar with the technique, but she applied it carefully. Now that the two of them were very close, every breath Wei Yu took landed on her face.

Pei Jiao’s cheeks were clearly red. She held her breath, but her heartbeat gradually sped up uncontrollably.

“Fei Yi, I think I heard your heartbeat,” Wei Yu suddenly said.

Pei Jiao looked unnatural. “We’re not close. How can you hear me?” However, in the next second, Wei Yu wrapped his hands around Pei Jiao’s waist and pulled her up to sit on the sink. Pei Jiao’s hands were covered in white shaving cream. After sitting on the sink, she looked very confused.

Wei Yu said, “Continue.’

Pei Jiao took a deep breath. “Continue with what?”

Wei Yu smiled. “Is it done?”

“Okay, it’s done.” Pei Jiao stuttered. “You, you, look at the mirror yourself. I’ve already applied it.”

But Wei Yu said, “But you’re blocking the mirror. How do I look?”

Pei Jiao pretended to come down and let him look in the mirror, but Wei Yu grabbed the back of her waist. This way, her upper body had no choice but to pounce forward as if it was inertial. He took the opportunity to kiss her.

In the end, Pei Jiao’s face was covered in white cream. As their ears rubbed, she suggested, “Why don’t you go to work today?”

Wei Yu was still immersed in the lingering kiss just now. For a long time, he savored it. When he suddenly heard her ask him to go to work, the gentleness on his face faded and a layer of coldness appeared. ‘Don’t you want me to accompany you?”

Pei Jiao asked, “But you have to work, right?”

Wei Yu tightened his grip on her waist. “You’re more important.”

Pei Jiao chuckled. “Are you afraid that I’ll run away?

She hadn’t said it casually. She’d said it on purpose, and Wei Yu had given her the expected answer. “Yes, in case you suddenly run away and I never find you again. ”

Pei Jiao’s eyes flashed. “Are you really afraid that I’ll leave you?”

Wei Yu’s answer was so honest. “I’m afraid. I’m very afraid.”

Pei Jiao snickered. “What should I do? I think I accidentally stole your heart.”

“You also know that you stole my heart.” Wei Yu held her face in his hands, his movements extremely judgmental. “So what if you stole it? You don’t have to return it to me. I just want you to be by my side, okay?”

“Of course,” Pei Jiao replied without thinking.

Wei Yu was slightly stunned. Then, he pressed Pei Jiao into his arms and kissed her for a long time.

Wei Yu did not go to the laboratory all day. Just like yesterday, he stayed by Pei Jiao’s side. In Ji He’s words, “Young Master, he’s been sticking to Miss Fei Yi from morning to night. He’s just short of taking a rope to tie Miss Fei Yi’s belt.”

After hearing Ji He’s report, Matriarch Wei calmly put down her teacup and said, “Looks like I have to go back and prepare.”

Xiu Zhi asked, “Madam is planning to go back and prepare Young Master and Miss Pei…”

“Ahem!” Matriarch Wei interrupted Xiu Zhi in time.

Beside her, Ji He was dumbfounded. “Aunt Xiu Zhi, who did you say Young

Master was marrying?”

Xiu Zhi said, “Assistant Ji, I’m talking about Miss Fei Yi. It might be an accent problem. You didn’t understand.”

“Is it an accent?” Ji He was still a little stunned. “l think I heard… Miss Pei?”

“What Miss Pei! Where did this Miss Pei come from?” Matriarch Wei said unhappily, “Why are you so deaf at such a young age? Xiu Zhi clearly said Miss Fei Yi. I heard it clearly.”

Ji He felt wronged.

Auntie Xiu Zhi had clearly said that it was an accent problem, but the Matriarch blamed him for having an empty ear.

“It’s my fault. I heard it wrongly.” Ji He did not dare to stay any longer, afraid of being scolded. “The banquet is about to start. I’ll rush Young Master.”

Matriarch Wei waved her hand. “Go, go.” After Ji He left, Matriarch Wei glanced at Xiu Zhi. “That mouth of yours.”

Xiu Zhi said, “Assistant Ji shouldn’t think too much about it. Besides, Young Master and Miss Pei are very close now. It won’t be long before Miss Pei’s identity is exposed.”

Matriarch Wei said, “That’s true, but I promised Jiaojiao that I would keep this secret for her… Eh, forget it, forget it. You’re not unreasonable. I hope they get married as soon as possible.”

Ji He went to rush Wei Yu at five. It was almost six o’clock when Wei Yu brought Pei Jiao to Minister Lin’s residence. Wen Qiong was busy inside. There was also someone from the canteen helping to cook. They were all making home-cooked dishes and could smell the fragrance before they came in.

“Grandma!” Pei Jiao saw Matriarch Wei sitting there and was about to go over.

However, Wei Yu held her hand tightly. “There’s no hurry. Let’s go over together.”

Pei Jiao sighed helplessly. “Wei Yu, I don’t even know what’s wrong with you.” Wei Yu’s expression was calm. “Nothing. I just don’t want to be separated from you..”
