"Did you go to Hangzhou to meet Huang Tianxuan’s parents?"

Holding two phones, Li Peifeng faced the screen where Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning questioned him with implied anger, yet he was surprisingly calm.

It’s no surprise that they guessed this; after all, the incident of buying the watch in the afternoon revealed that he and Huang Tianxuan were shopping in Hangzhou, so logically they deduced meeting the parents was involved.

Perhaps it wasn’t just Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning who figured it out. Zhao Qingge likely guessed too, but didn’t contact to avoid making Li Peifeng upset, pretending she didn’t know.

This is how a mature woman handles things, yet right now, these two immature ones require Li Peifeng to resolve it...

"I indeed had a friendly meeting with Huang Jianzhong and Gina, shared a lunch in a relaxed atmosphere, and afterward, I exchanged calligraphy insights with Mr. Huang Jianzhong and chatted about literary creation with Mrs. Gina."

Wu Wenyue sneered and asked, "Did you discuss which auspicious day to hold your wedding with Huang Tianxuan too?"

"No, but her parents did urge a marriage, which I didn’t agree to."

Xu Manning said sarcastically, "Oh, why didn’t you agree? Do you find it beneath you to marry in, or did they not fancy this poor guy?"

"Don’t say things out of anger."

Li Peifeng spoke earnestly, "Tianxuan’s parents appreciated me a lot, didn’t require me to marry into their family, nor did they discuss a dowry. They even hinted through words that if I married Tianxuan, they’d present us with three mansions in the Capital and Hangzhou, two luxury cars worth over a hundred million and stated that the sooner we marry, the better. After the marriage, they’d give me thirty million for entrepreneurial investment..."

"However!"

Li Peifeng’s tone intensified, his expression serious: "I didn’t agree, and I told them that my relationship with Tianxuan wasn’t stable yet for marriage. This is partly the reason, but primarily, you guys are the most important in my heart!"

"Just hang up, if you have nothing more to say, hang up."

Xu Manning replied very coldly, "I have to attend a meeting soon, no time to listen to your nonsense." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Wu Wenyue was also impatient: "I just have one question, when are you coming home?"

"...Are you planning to ambush me at the train station and assassinate me?"

"I asked when you’re coming home?!!"

...

Li Peifeng planned to stay in Hangzhou for three days. On January 14, he would board a flight to the Capital to meet Xu Manning and Zhao Qingge before finally returning to Ningyuan City.

In these three days, aside from meeting Huang Tianxuan’s parents on the first day, he spent the remaining days hanging out and shopping with Huang Tianxuan, while also practicing the specific processes of pregnancy and childbirth repeatedly.

Even though Hangzhou’s winter was somewhat chilly, it was far more pleasant than the desolate Northeast. Li Peifeng and Huang Tianxuan created many sweet memories in this city.

The snack street at Qinghe Fang, Wushan Night Market, the bars on South Mountain Road... One day it snowed, and the two of them strolled hand in hand on the snowy Su Causeway of West Lake, holding each other as they aged together, it was such a beautiful scene.

Although Li Peifeng had fun in Hangzhou with Huang Tianxuan, he didn’t forget the other girls.

On the last day, he and Huang Tianxuan went to the mall intending to buy some bags and jewelry to make them happy.

However, these gifts were quite expensive; a branded bag could easily cost thirty to forty thousand, and a piece of small jewelry fifty to sixty thousand. The key was that Li Peifeng had to buy gifts for four people!

Even though it was Zhao Qingge, Wu Wenyue, and Xu Manning who were upset, since Huang Tianxuan was right beside him, could he not give her anything? Of course, he had to! Leaving her out would definitely make her upset even if she wasn’t mad originally.

And for these four, at least a bag and a piece of jewelry each, right?

Four hundred thousand, at least four hundred thousand...

Initially, when Li Peifeng first arrived in Hangzhou, he had already purchased plenty of gifts for Huang Tianxuan’s parents. Even though those gifts didn’t seem like much, they were actually luxurious items with sky-high prices, totaling over eight hundred thousand. They included jewelry for Gina and tea sets and art pieces for Huang Jianzhong.

The Huang family indeed had wealth and didn’t lack what he brought, but Li Peifeng felt he had to demonstrate his financial capability, even if it seemed overconfident, he wanted to show his sincerity. On another note, it was also his gesture to reciprocate the Vacheron Constantin watch from Huang Tianxuan.

In doing so, Li Peifeng’s savings of four million quickly fell to around three hundred thousand, but fortunately, January 12 was the payday for Endpoint’s manuscript fees,

The manuscript fees for December last year had increased as expected, but the staggering one million and thirty thousand income still surprised Li Peifeng.

Upon calculation, he realized that besides electronic subscriptions and rewards, there were shares from several of his comic adaptations and royalties from the publication of ’Evil CEO.’

His savings went back to four million, making him generous while picking gifts...

"Pick whatever you like, I’ll pay!"

At the LV counter in Hangzhou Plaza, Li Peifeng gestured grandly to Huang Tianxuan, who was less concerned: "I’m not too interested in these things. You should save up and get me a yacht instead. I’ve always wanted to sail a yacht to the beach in summer, fish and sunbathe..."

You’re not asking for a yacht, you’re asking for my life!

Li Peifeng gave a dry cough and didn’t respond to that; although he wasn’t too fond of these luxury goods either, he couldn’t find alternatives, so he said, "If you’re not interested, don’t buy them. We’ll check out jewelry later; help me pick out a few bags for them first."

Gift-picking for girls was always a headache for Li Peifeng. Jewelry was easier; choosing expensive and flashy ones wouldn’t go wrong, but bags came in various materials and colors, and it’s not just about the price. It’s about style and suitability, which was too difficult for a guy like Li Peifeng, so he sought advice from Huang Tianxuan, who was also a girl.
