Chapter 483: Past in Country T (16)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Every time Pei Jingzhou looked at Li You, his gaze was very restrained and gentle. But at this moment, the way he looked at Li You was straightforward and aggressive. And he did not hide his overly aggressive gaze. It brushed past her beautiful curves inch by inch. His gaze made Li You blush. She coughed unnaturally and called out, “Pei Jingzhou.”
Pei Jingzhou came back to his senses and looked at her face again. Li You took half a step forward and gently poked Pei Jingzhou’s arm with her finger. “Does it look good?”
“Yes.” Pei Jingzhou’s answer was without thought.
Li You bit her lip and asked, “Are you saying that I looked good or the dress looked good?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “You.”
Li You was born to wear brightly colored clothes and dresses. In the past, when she attended, she would dress beautifully on certain occasions.
However, at that time, she was mostly inexperienced and dressed like a girl. She rarely had a mature style.
In the past few years overseas, her dressing style had changed a little, but she still rarely wore dresses with such bright colors.
It was mainly because she was too bright. If she wore such bright colors again, she would look even more eye-catching, especially overseas. For the sake of her life, she had always worn low-key.
At that time, she thought that when she married Pei Jingzhou in the future, she would definitely dress up differently every day and become a beautiful woman! At this moment, she was standing in front of Pei Jingzhou in a burgundy dress. She was beautiful.
Pei Jingzhou was stunned.
Li You slowly turned around under Pei Jingzhou’s burning gaze. Then, she looked up at him and said, “After we get married, I’ll often wear a red dress for you to see, okay?”
Pei Jingzhou reached out and grabbed her lower back, pulling her into his arms. “l couldn’t ask for more.’
Li You sneered and said what was on her mind. “l still want to be a beautiful young married woman.”
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “Of course.”
Huh? He agreed so readily? She’d expected a retort from him, given his possessive nature. She didn’t expect him to agree right away. Li You asked again, “Don’t you think it’ll be too ostentatious?”
“Perhaps.” Pei Jingzhou’s voice was gentle. “But you’re Mrs. Pei. You can show off as much as you want. No one dares to say a word about you.”
Pei Jingzhou was not exaggerating.
A few years ago, when the outside world talked about Pei Jingzhou, they all said how outstanding Pei Qingji’s son was. Now that they were talking about Pei Jingzhou, they no longer used his father’s name and directly nominated him.
And the meaning of his efforts was also to stand at the top. When others talked about his wife again, every word was with a respectful title. No one dared to underestimate her.
The smile on Li You’s face became visible to the naked eye because of Pei
Jingzhou’s words. She continued, “Then I’ll wear this style of dress every day after we get married. The length won’t be the same every day. I’ll also have to style my hair into big waves and put on red lipsticks. It’ll be a completely different style.”
Pei Jingzhou chuckled. “It seems that dressing has restricted you long enough in Country T.”
“It’s been quite a while, but…” Li You continued, “Even if dressing in Country T doesn’t restrict me, will you be at ease if I dress like I just said?”
Pei Jingzhou said truthfully, “1 1 m worried.”
How could he be at ease? At the thought of that scene, Pei Jingzhou almost went crazy.
After being intimate on the second floor for a long time, the two of them went downstairs together.
Li You followed Pei Jingzhou to see Uncle and Auntie Pei. Han Qianye was chatting with MO Zhu downstairs. It had been a long time since she had seen Li Huaisheng and his wife. However, she had always had a deep impression of Li Huaisheng and his wife.
Li Huaisheng was a very outstanding diplomat and had a prominent family background. Li Huaishengs wife, MO Zhu, left a deeper impression on Han Qianye. When she was young, she was an outstanding figure and had even been the mayor of Shen City.
Although she had a deep impression of Li Huaisheng and his wife, the Pei and Li families actually had no business dealings.
The two families were not related. Back then, it was only because Han Pin brought Pei Jingzhou to the Capital University for a speech that Pei Jingzhou and Li You got to know each other.
Speaking of which, Han Pin was their indirect matchmaker.
However, at that time, Han Pin would never have thought that him bringing his nephew to Capital University by a whim would, by a freak combination of factors, arrange a marriage for his nephew.
If he hadn’t been so busy, he probably would have come today.
“Dad, Mom.’
Hearing her son’s voice, Han Qianye turned around. Pei Qingji, who was beside her, also turned around. Pei Jingzhou brought Li You to Han Qianye and Pei Qingji. “Mom, Dad, Little You is here,”
Li You looked at the two elders and called out sweetly, “Uncle, Auntie.”
Han Qianye rarely saw Li You. When she saw the bright girl beside Pei Jingzhou, she was pleasantly surprised. She reached out to Li You. “Little You, come here.’
Li You let go of Pei Jingzhou’s arm and placed her hand in Han Qianye’s.
“A 1 Inf-ia
Han Qianye responded and sized Li You up. Her voice was very gentle. “l heard that you came back many times this year?”
Li You nodded. “Yes, I’ve been back a few times. I wanted to visit Uncle and Auntie, but unfortunately, you weren’t at home.”
“l know that. When I came back, I heard Jingzhou mention it. It’s really unfortunate. In the past few years, I’ve had so much free time that I’ve always wanted to travel. And it has caused you to miss us every time.” As she spoke,
Han Qianye turned around and took a box from Pei Qingji. She handed it to Li You. “Auntie’s little gift. Take it.”
Li You subconsciously refused. Han Qianye stuffed the box into her palm and patted the back of her hand gently. “You have to accept it.”
This scene was seen by MO Zhu and Li Huaisheng, who looked at each other and smiled. Pei Jingzhou also went forward and held Li You’s hand. At the same time, he grabbed the box. “Mom gave it to you. Just accept it.”
Li You bit her lip and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou. Then, she thanked Han Qianye before accepting the gift. The gifts Han Qianye gave were all very expensive. Besides, this was an engagement gift from her future mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law.
According to the rules and etiquette, the Pei family and the Li family should have a good relationship. This engagement ceremony should be very grand.
However, after discussion, the two parties chose to keep the engagement ceremony simple and low-key.
As long as the parents of the two families appeared, the engagement ceremony would be held directly after the marriage proposal. The ceremony was also very simple. Li You and Pei Jingzhou served sweet tea, also known as gaikou tea. Then, they would exchange engagement rings under the witness of the parents of both parties.
There were no guests, only the families of the two closest parties. In the end, they raised their glasses and drank together at the round table banquet. This simple engagement ceremony was completed perfectly.
Han Qianye said, “The engagement ceremony is complete. Next, Qingji and I will start preparing for this grand wedding.”
Yes, everyone was looking forward to this wedding.
Li You imagined how much she would look forward to the day of her wedding to Pei Jingzhou.
She just didn’t know that her expectations would be shattered by nightmares before long..
