The eldest daughter is committing suicide, and the marriage partner comes to redeem her

So that's why. No wonder it sounded familiar.

It seems that the last time at Shen Zhiyan's house, the food that Li Yanzhou's assistant brought was from this restaurant.

The two of them didn't eat much, so Pei Zigui ordered a few of Jiang Ruoli's favorites, a total of five dishes, one soup, and a small dessert.

He discovered that Jiang Ruoli had to eat something sweet after every meal. It didn't necessarily have to be cake, but something that girls liked to eat, like a sense of ritual.

“Don’t put chili in any dishes, and don’t make desserts too sweet.”

When Jiang Ruoli heard this, his heart was like a calm lake into which a small stone was thrown, causing circles of splashes.

What Pei Zigui said were all her habits.

But she seemed to have no memory of what habits he had in his life.

Although this guy is a germaphobe, he can eat her leftovers without any concern.

As for what to eat and drink, it all seemed the same to him.

No preference at all.

There is only one thing, Pei Zigui is allergic to crabs, he learned about it from Ye Die last time.

“Do you have anything you like?”

Pei Zigui was using a hot towel to wipe Jiang Ruoli's hands. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The things I love?"

Isn't there one right in front of you?

Jiang Ruoli added: "Or, in other words, something we like to eat. Otherwise, it would be easy for us to be exposed in front of our elders next time, just like the last time with the crabs."

The man's hand wiped every white and tender finger, and slowly folded the hot towel and put it back in place.

After thinking for a moment, he curled his lips towards Jiang Ruoli, "You, do you count?"

Jiang Ruoli didn't react at first. What do you like to eat?

My cheeks felt hot, and I felt embarrassed and annoyed when I thought about certain scenes.

"Why are you so ridiculous? I'm serious. If you don't want to say it, forget it. Humph!"

Pei Zigui pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have any particular favorite food. Many things are dispensable to me. For example, as you said, I'm allergic to crabs, but I don't seem to feel particularly sorry about it."

"If I have to say, I don't like things with strong flavors, such as hot pot."

Jiang Ruoli took a sip of water and said indifferently: "What a coincidence, I love hot pot the most. If I can't eat spicy food, I will eat other kinds of soup bases."

Hot pot is so delicious! Who can refuse it?

Thinking of the smell coming from the house that night when he picked her up from the police station, Pei Zigui chuckled, "Yeah, I smelled it."

"Then can I still eat hot pot at home in the future?"

In fact, Jiang Ruoli was just asking casually. According to her personality, even if Pei Zigui said no, the young lady would still eat whatever she wanted.

At worst, you can just open the windows for ventilation after eating. The fresh air system of Lanting Garden worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is not just for decoration.

"If I say you don't want to eat, will you obey me?"

The eldest lady shook her head honestly.

Pei Zigui couldn't help laughing out loud, his low, mellow voice made Jiang Ruoli stunned for a few seconds. The man's handsome face showed a gentle expression, his eyebrows were full of joy.

It's rare to see this dead face smiling so happily.

Pei Zigui put the boneless fish into Jiang Ruoli's bowl and said softly:

"Eat, Lantingyuan is our home. As the hostess, you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Ruoli was very happy to have received the golden medal of immunity from death. He tasted the delicious fish with a smile on his face and a smile on his face.

Seeing the obvious smile on her face, Pei Zigui's mouth corners also curled up.

Shen Zhiyan was also in the private room next door.

She was the only one in the huge private room.

And the man beside him.

Li Yanzhou had just returned from Hong Kong City, and Zhou Zhu contacted Shen Zhiyan to go to Li Garden in advance to burn incense.

Coincidentally, she had just come out of Li Garden when she met the man getting off the car.

"Miss Shen, are you free to have dinner with me?"

There was fatigue that was hard to conceal beneath the lenses, and Shen Zhiyan agreed for some reason.

This was not the first time that I followed Li Yanzhou to Manyun. I thought Zhou Zhu would go with them, but Zhou Zhu dropped them off at the entrance of the alley and drove away.

"Won't Zhou Zhu come with us?"

Li Yanzhou tilted his head and lowered his eyes, his deep black eyes hiding a smile: "Zhou Zhu has been too tired following me these days, let him rest for two days. Or is my boss so cruel and inhumane in Miss Shen's eyes?"

"I didn't mean that."

Shen Zhiyan quickened her pace.

Behind her, Li Yanzhou was wearing a coat, and his broad figure seemed to completely cover the woman, creating the illusion that he was protecting her in his arms.

"Doesn't Miss Shen like her jade mushrooms? Eat more."

Li Yanzhou had just picked up some food for Shen Zhiyan using a serving chopstick when the waiter walked in respectfully.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Pei is also next door."

"Is he alone?"

"There is another woman, I think she is Mrs. Pei."

The man waved his hand: "Got it, go down."

Li Yanzhou glanced sideways and saw the woman next to him looking at him. Her watery eyes seemed to be speaking.

"Want to come over and say hello?"

Shen Zhiyan nodded.

In the huge city of Jiangcheng, the only person who could be called President Pei and who could ask the waiter to inform Li Yanzhou was Pei Zigui.

If it was Lili who was dining with him, then she could just say hello. If not, as a good friend, she would definitely remind Lili.

Perhaps he guessed what she was thinking, and a mellow voice sounded:

"Don't worry, Pei Zigui won't bring other women here to eat except Jiang Ruoli."

Meeting Li Yanzhou's teasing gaze, Shen Zhiyan felt that all her little thoughts seemed to have nowhere to hide.

"So, eat your fill first, and I'll take you there later."

As he spoke, Li Yanzhou put another piece of golden pumpkin pancake into Shen Zhiyan's bowl.

"Mr. Li, eat too." She followed his example and took a small piece of pork ribs.

Li Yanzhou looked at the brightly colored sweet and sour spare ribs in the bowl, slowly put them into his mouth and chewed them, with a lazy and comfortable look in his eyes.

"Did you get the gift?"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhiyan put down her chopsticks and said seriously: "That's too expensive, I can't accept it."

If she knew that the bracelet that Li Yanzhou and Jiang Ruoli fought so hard for at the auction was given to her, she would never let them do what they wanted.

"Besides, didn't Mr. Li say that day that this was to be given to an important person?"

Li Yanzhou pursed his lips and looked over calmly.

"Ms. Shen, aren't you an important person to me? After all, you control my sleep quality."

If someone else heard this, they would definitely misunderstand.

For example, the waiter standing in the corner of the private room and serving the dishes could no longer control his gossipy expression.

Shen Zhiyan was slightly annoyed, and her ears couldn't help but turn slightly red.

"If it's another perfumer, will Mr. Li give such an expensive gift?"

Li Yanzhou put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "There won't be a better perfumer than you, so don't make such an impossible assumption."

"Didn't Miss Shen just praise me for being considerate of my subordinates? Well, as my perfumer, this is just a bracelet. Just consider it as your year-end bonus."

"Is it difficult?"

Shen Zhiyan bit her lip and met Li Yanzhou's slightly hurt gaze.

My heart softened and I nodded.

"Then I will keep it for Mr. Li temporarily."

With a chuckle, Li Yanzhou picked up the chopsticks again.

"So, we can have a good meal now?"

"Would you like to try some newly brewed rice wine?"

Shen Zhiyan couldn't resist her curiosity and asked Li Yanzhou to pour a small cup.

The rice wine brewed by the master craftsman is fragrant and sweet. It feels like eating sweet rice wine. Before you know it, the cup is empty.

When she looked up again, the beauty's cheeks were red and her eyes were blurry.

*

In the private room next door, after eating and drinking, the eldest daughter started to act up and make trouble again.

"Pei Zigui, do you really not have Bai Yueguang?"

"No. I have been bound to you by marriage since childhood, and I dare not do anything that crosses the line."

Jiang Ruoli was quite satisfied with this answer.

"So, is there a ritual?"

Pei Zigui's voice is clear and gentle, and if you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of nervousness in it.

"White Moonlight..." The little fox rolled his eyes and blinked playfully, "Yes."

The man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his voice became a little more sinister: "Who?"

How come he had never heard of it? Or, during his study abroad? It shouldn't be.

"Hey, these are the chicken soup wontons made by the chef at the Pei family's old house."

When she came to her senses, she realized that she had been tricked by the little girl. Pei Zigui pinched her face as punishment, but the hostility between his eyebrows disappeared invisibly.

"on purpose?"

"Who said Bai Yueguang must be a human? Did you make that rule?"

Inside the door, people were laughing and playing.

Outside the door, Li Yanzhou held the person in his arms carefully, fearing that she would fall accidentally.

Who could have expected that Shen Zhiyan's alcohol tolerance was so poor.

It's also my own fault for not considering the strong aftereffect of rice wine.

"Do you still want to go in?"

Shen Zhiyan raised her head and looked at Li Yanzhou and shook her head obediently.

"I'm not going in. I can tell it's Lili."

"Then let's go home?"

Shen Zhiyan, who was slow in thinking, nodded obediently.

Li Yanzhou hugged the person unconsciously, smiling gently as his eyes passed by.

"So nice."

In the darkness of night, a tall man helped the staggering woman out of the alley.

The dim light shone on the two of them, also illuminating the distance between them that was getting closer and closer.

This night was destined not to be peaceful.

Late at night in Li Garden, the soft and delicate voice of a woman like a kitten could be heard, sometimes coming and sometimes not.

The white camellia in the yard was wet with dew, swaying in the wind, waiting for the first ray of sunshine at dawn.
