After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!

How exactly was she supposed to reply to that? They’d caught her coming out of Pei Yan’s room, and were already like this. If they knew she’d been married to him for a long time, wouldn’t they be picking their eyeballs up off the floor?

"We..."

Qin Yun hesitated for a moment and replied very tactfully, "I came to see Mr. Pei about something."

"No way, you two have been together all day. What could possibly need to wait until you’re resting to discuss? There’s definitely something going on! Sister Yun, are you trying to hide Mr. Pei? You can’t do that."

Wang Li laughed, her expression somewhat amusing but not malicious.

Even Pei Yan’s die-hard fan Li Ning didn’t show any discontent and was, in fact, more gossip-driven than Wang Li.

"Sister Yun, is Mr. Pei a qualified boyfriend? Is he also particularly cold when he’s with you? He probably isn’t. I see how he pampers you in day-to-day life." Li Ning thoughtfully rubbed his chin. "No wonder Mr. Pei is biased; he smiles at you but looks serious with Jingjing. Turns out there’s a reason for that."

"I finally understand why Jingjing’s personality changed so much on the show this time. It’s because she’s a fan of Mr. Pei."

Lin Yihan also shook her head deeply, "Exactly, Mr. Pei just about spoils Sister Yun rotten. If I liked Mr. Pei, I couldn’t stand it either."

Then, she looked at Qin Yun with excitement, "Sister Yun, what’s it like being in a relationship with Mr. Pei? Is he a macho type? Ahh, just thinking about it feels so thrilling! You have to tell us all about it."

Qin Yun was covered in black lines, why were they all so curious about what it’s like to date Pei Yan?

Qin Yun’s eyes flickered as she responded, "Calm down, I’m really here to see Mr. Pei about something, but he’s not here."

Having said that, she turned and opened Pei Yan’s room door, and sure enough, he wasn’t inside.

The few who had been anticipating seeing some thrilling scene: "..."

Apparently, they celebrated too early.

Mr. Pei is a man untouched by the Mortal World, unworthy of having a girlfriend.

Wang Li shook her head in regret, "Such a pity! I always thought Mr. Pei would find a girlfriend who would stun everyone, but now that I think about it, if Mr. Pei and Sister Yun are together, it’s surprisingly fitting! What is this?"

The others also nodded in agreement.

Even Xiaoxiao nodded along, "Anyone else, and I’d feel it wouldn’t work, but if it’s Qin Yun, I feel I can accept it."

Qin Yun, curious, asked, "Why?"

Wang Li and Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, and Xiaoxiao cautiously considered before responding.

"Because Sister Yun has a real zest for life. If you’re with Mr. Pei, you’d definitely bring out his passion for life. I think you two together are a perfect match. You don’t know, being alone with Mr. Pei can make the surrounding air feel colder, but with Sister Yun, it feels much better."

Wang Li shared the sentiment, "Mr. Pei even bought me snacks and milk tea. Though it was alongside buying for others, alone with Mr. Pei, I instinctively feel scared. His stern and cold aura makes people keep their distance, but with you around, it’s different; Mr. Pei feels warmer and even laughs."

Wang Li sighed in admiration, realizing she wasn’t alone in feeling this way; others did too.

Even the rest nodded in agreement, fully accepting Xiaoxiao and Wang Li’s take.

Qin Yun’s heart skipped a beat; was that really how they appeared to outsiders?

Oh no, on a more straightforward note, they’re basically saying she loves to eat!!

And so, she’s full of life...

But thinking about it, Pei Yan has indeed always taken great care of her, whether at work, in life, or even in her career. He discreetly helps wherever he can.

Even things she isn’t aware of, he does without mentioning.

Suddenly, she felt a longing for Pei Yan.

Qin Yun glanced quietly at Wang Li and Xiaoxiao, "Mr. Pei is indeed a very good man."

Wang Li suddenly asked, "Do you like Mr. Pei?"

Everyone’s eyes turned to Qin Yun because of that question, pausing her thoughts.

"What kind of question is that? Is there anyone here who doesn’t like Mr. Pei?" Xiao Hu couldn’t take it anymore; he knew he was closest to the actual truth among the group, and seeing them work so hard to dig up the truth, he interrupted Wang Li.

"You don’t like Mr. Pei?" Xiao Hu asked Wang Li, with an air of mischief.

Wang Li frowned, "I do, I’ve always liked Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei is practically my dream man."

Xiao Hu asked Xiaoxiao again, "You don’t like Mr. Pei?"

Xiaoxiao nodded sincerely, "I do. I’ve watched all of Mr. Pei’s works; I’m his most loyal fan."

Xiao Hu turned to look at Li Ning and Bai Ziyu, "Let’s forget about you two. I can tell you like Mr. Pei, what about Zhao Lan and Lin Yihan?"

"I like him."

Everyone admitted they liked Pei Yan.

Xiao Hu finally looked at Qin Yun, his gaze somewhat wandering, "So isn’t it perfectly normal for Sister Yun to like Mr. Pei? What’s the fuss about?"

Everyone nodded thoughtfully; Xiao Hu seemed to have a point. Many people like Mr. Pei, so there’s nothing unexpected about it.

Seeing the realization dawn upon everyone, Qin Yun turned the tables and asked, "Why are you all together, did you come looking for me?"

Wang Li shook her head, "Of course not. We went to find you, but you weren’t in your room. So we came to find Mr. Pei, only to find you instead, which surprised us."

"Yeah, yeah, almost thought my idol ended his single life; was about to tweet the celebration." Li Ning nodded, holding his phone, seemingly ready to tweet.

"Where is Mr. Pei?" Xiaoxiao finally asked a sensible question, but no one knew the answer.

"Let’s go outside and look."

"Let’s go."

As they turned to leave, they saw Pei Yan lazily leaning against the archway in the corridor; who knows how long he’d been there.

Everyone froze in place, looking at each other.

Xiaoxiao awkwardly greeted, "Um, Mr. Pei, you’re back?"

Had Mr. Pei heard all the jokes they made about him just now??!!

Pei Yan nodded lightly.

Then casually spoke, "Do I seem hard to get along with?"

All of them shook their heads quickly, "No no, Mr. Pei is not hard to get along with, we were just joking, please don’t take it to heart!!"
