Wu Wenyue: "We are grocery shopping."

Then, she sent a short video.

Xu Manning was standing by the vegetable rack in the supermarket, diligently picking out greens, left and right. Discovering the camera pointed at her, she was forced to put on a show, using a bunch of greens to cover half her face and smile with a photo-ready grin.

"She’s filming a video, you’re posing wrong."

Huang Tianxuan teased as she walked by, and the video ended.

Li Peifeng sent a 520 money transfer, then typed a reply: "Don’t just focus on vegetables, get more meat and seafood."

Wu Wenyue: "Will you be back to eat?"

Li Peifeng: "Probably won’t make it in time, you guys go ahead."

Wu Wenyue: "What are you doing now?"

"Right here!"

Standing at the bus stop by the roadside, Li Peifeng spotted the BMW approaching from the traffic and immediately waved at it before typing a reply: "Waiting for someone, they’ve arrived, chat later."

The BMW slowly stopped beside him, Li Peifeng opened the door, placed all the gifts from the ground into the car, and sat in the passenger seat.

Zhao Qingge looked back, frowned, and said, "You bought too much, how much did you spend?"

Li Peifeng pretended to be generous: "Not much, not even a week’s worth of my pay."

"I asked how much you spent?"

Zhao Qingge kept pressing, forcing Li Peifeng to reveal the true price: "One hundred and ten thousand."

"You’re really..." Zhao Qingge’s face changed, clearly annoyed: "You’re rich? Didn’t I tell you there’s no need to buy such expensive gifts? Why don’t you listen?"

They were expensive, but to keep it consistent with the gifts for Wu Wenyue’s parents, couldn’t favor one over the other.

After all, balance is found in all things.

Li Peifeng comforted her: "It’s okay, it’s within my capability, besides, these aren’t even for you, why are you upset?"

After speaking, seeing Zhao Qingge’s brow still furrowed, he fished out an exquisite white jewelry box from his pocket, humming, "Dun dun dun~ Look what’s this?"

Zhao Qingge’s surprise flashed across her face, she pursed her lips and asked, "What?"

"See for yourself."

Li Peifeng said with a grin, "It’s your holiday gift."

The box contained a Boucheron 18K gold ceramic ring, costing over ten thousand. And what did it bring? Zhao Qingge’s happiness!

"Spending money recklessly. What’s so special about Christmas?"

Zhao Qingge’s words sounded dismissive, but her tone softened as she gazed at the ring in the box. Her previously displeased expression gradually turned gentle. She didn’t ask about the ring’s price anymore, looked from the ring to Li Peifeng, seemingly waiting for something.

"Let me put it on you."

Understanding her unspoken cue, Li Peifeng took the ring in his right hand, gently held Zhao Qingge’s hand with his left, and placed it steadily on her right ring finger, then intertwined their fingers, slowly turning to give her a kiss.

After more than ten seconds, they broke apart. Zhao Qingge’s face was flushed, she tidied her hair and calmly said, "Let’s go."

Li Peifeng glanced at the time on the car’s central control screen, 4:20 pm, nodding, "Yes, let’s be early."

The car started moving, and as Zhao Qingge drove, she occasionally glanced at the ring on her finger, visibly pleased.

As for Li Peifeng, with lots of cars on the road, frequently stopping and going, he found it quite boring in the car, hence he spent his time admiring Zhao Qingge.

Old Zhao wore black casual pants today, the crease ironed straight. On top, a camel base shirt paired with a short white down jacket, elegant and yet simple.

But no matter how beautiful one might be, constant staring can tire one out. So, taking advantage of a red light, Li Peifeng reached out to touch Old Zhao’s thigh.

"Aren’t you wearing thermal pants?"

Concerned, Li Peifeng felt Zhao Qingge’s leg, attempting to pull up a little to check for thermal pants, and was rather surprised...

"Really not wearing? Are you not cold?"

"Let go, I’m driving!"

Zhao Qingge smacked Li Peifeng’s hand away in annoyance and continued driving as the red light turned green.

Li Peifeng refused to miss an opportunity to flirt, tugging at his suit collar, seriously asking: "You think my suit is alright? It’s the one you wanted me to wear during last night’s video call."

Zhao Qingge looked ahead, but there was a slight panic in her eyes, responding softly, "Looks very nice."

Li Peifeng leaned to her ear, whispered, "So you think I look better in it or out of it?"

"..."

Perhaps it was his words or his breath that made Zhao Qingge’s cheeks redden silently.

"Can’t answer?"

Li Peifeng suppressed his laughter, holding her hand again, gently tracing circles in her palm, tempting her in a devilish whisper: "After dinner at your parents’, I’ll go home with you. Then I’ll take off my clothes for you to see which looks better, wearing them or not... How about it?"

[Rascal rascal rascal!]

While still ten meters behind the car ahead, Zhao Qingge suddenly snatched her hand from Li Peifeng’s grip, honking twice hurriedly, then glaring at him: "Shut up!"

Shut up?

Li Peifeng blinked, engaging [Mind Connection], the voice resonated in Zhao Qingge’s mind;

[I want to take off my clothes, then yours, embrace nakedly in bed rolling around, then $#(@*!]
