Pei Liyan's eyes sank and he buckled his belt.
"Li Yan!" Qiao Xiang was stunned for a moment when he saw him buckling his belt. A flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Did Pei Liyan undress and take off his belt in front of Qiao Rui just now in this room?
She couldn't believe it, how could this be possible?
"Don't you know how to knock when you come in?" Pei Liyan said coldly and displeasedly.
Qiao Xiang came to his senses and quickly explained: "Oh, Qiao Rui didn't close the door, so I walked in. I thought you might as well change your clothes."
"No need." Pei Liyan said quietly: "Qiao Rui helped me dry it. I don't like to wear clothes prepared by others."
Qiao Xiang was startled and said: "I am not someone else, Li Yan, do you have to distinguish me so clearly?"
Pei Liyan glanced at Qiao Xiang with a half-smile but said nothing.
Qiao Xiang plucked up his courage again: "We used to be good friends, but now that you're married, will we no longer be good friends?"
"Yeah." Pei Liyan nodded.
Qiao Xiang's heart tightened, not knowing what Pei Liyan wanted to express by quietly saying "um".
She deliberately ignored it and said: "We are relatives now, even more intimate."
Pei Liyan shrugged, with a very lazy expression: "If you want to say that, that's fine."
He glanced at Qiao Xiang and said calmly: "I didn't expect Qiao Rui to have such a status in your Qiao family. There is nothing in this room. Is this how the Qiao family treats Qiao Rui?"
Qiao Xiang was stunned and quickly said: "How could it be? Grandpa loves Qiao Rui very much. Isn't it because you came home today and didn't have time to prepare!"
"So, when Qiao Rui and I came back home, we did it abruptly?"
"No, Li Yan, that's not what I meant. Don't get me wrong. I'll go find Grandpa and tell him to prepare all the supplies for Sixth Sister," Qiao Xiang said.
Pei Liyan glanced at Qiao Xiang and said calmly: "I still think it's best not to have a misunderstanding, otherwise Qiao Rui and I will not come to Qiao's house in the future."
"No!" Qiao Xiang stood in front of Pei Liyan with a very anxious expression, "I will arrange it for you, and I guarantee that it will be well arranged."
If Pei Liyan doesn't let Qiao Rui come back and he doesn't come, then he's not a relative and has left, right?
She would never allow this to happen.
But why did Pei Liyan stand up for that bumpkin Qiao Rui? What did he mean?
"Then there's Miss Lao." After Pei Liyan finished speaking, he walked out.
"Li Yan!" Qiao Xiang hurriedly chased after him. In a fit of excitement, he grabbed Pei Liyan's sleeve and stopped him from going out.
Pei Liyan frowned slightly and looked at Qiao Xiang.
She pursed her lips, mustered up her courage, and didn't let go.
He just looked at Qiao Xiang expressionlessly. "Miss, what do you mean?"
"Li Yan, I know you are angry with me, do you have to call me this?" Qiao Xiang's bright big eyes were filled with a layer of moist mist, making him look pitiful.
Her other hand was still holding the pants she had prepared for him.
"Otherwise, how should I call you, Miss?" Pei Liyan asked with a slight smile: "Sister-in-law? Should I call you Sister like Qiao Rui?"
"No!" Qiao Xiang shook his head.
These names were so harsh and not what she wanted.
She just wants to go back to the past.
The time when she almost became Pei Liyan's girlfriend.
She felt that he obviously liked her.
Pei Liyan's face was calm, his eyes fell on Qiao Xiang's hand holding the cuffs of his clothes, his eyes were very oppressive.
Qiao Xiang was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously retracted his hand under this compelling gaze.
She hugged the box in her arms tightly with both hands and whispered: "Li Yan, you used to call me Qiao Xiang, so you should just call me by my name."
Pei Liyan responded lightly. "Yes!"
He reached out to open the door, and Qiao Xiang panicked again and asked quickly: "Li Yan, are you and Qiao Rui happy?"
Pei Liyan was about to leave, but he paused again, turned to look at Miss Qiao, and said calmly: "Why do you ask that?"
Qiao Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "I thought you were perfunctory in choosing Qiao Rui."
Pei Liyan explained seriously: "No, I am very serious."
Qiao Xiang twitched his lips: "I don't believe it. You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me."
Pei Liyan shrugged, opened the door, and said again: "We'd better not chat alone in this room. I don't know if you think I have anything to do with Miss Qiao."
Qiao Xiang was stunned, not expecting him to say so clearly.
In order to avoid suspicion, he refused to stay for a while longer.
Qiao Xiang followed and said in a low voice: "I thought you would choose another cousin, but I never expected that you would choose Qiao Rui."
Pei Liyan walked out of the door, stood in the corridor, turned to look at Qiao Xiang, and said word by word: "Qiao Rui is very good, but I don't like how you all talk to me in this tone one by one."
He was protecting Qiao Rui again.
Qiao Xiang wanted to say something about Qiao Rui's affirmation, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly woke up.
She can't say anything bad about Qiao Rui.
Because Pei Liyan doesn't like it.
Even Qiao Yufei, who had just walked to the corner of the second floor, heard this and opened her mouth in surprise.
Pei Liyan is protecting Qiao Rui.
Protecting Qiao Rui quietly where Qiao Rui can't see her, even the eldest sister doesn't care anymore?
Qiao Yufei was a little confused.
She thought that Pei Liyan chose Qiao Rui just to piss off the eldest sister, because the eldest sister has always been very confident, always looking above her head, and not paying attention to anyone.
Even on the day of the wife selection meeting, he was confident not to attend.
Now that she overheard the conversation between Pei Liyan and the eldest sister, Qiao Yufei felt extremely shocked.
Doesn't he also take his eldest sister seriously?
Qiao Yufei quietly went downstairs.
Qiao Rui was no longer in the room at this time. After telling the old man about Pei Liyan's request, Qiao Rui sneaked out to enjoy the scenery in the garden outside.
It's no fun competing with those sisters.
She might as well watch the competition outside.
After Qiao Yufei went downstairs, she was surprised not to see Qiao Rui. After asking her sister, she found out that Qiao Rui had gone out.
She also chased him out of the house, and sure enough she saw Qiao Rui in the garden. This country bumpkin was even wearing pink.
Looking like this, let alone dressing up, is simply an eyesore.
She frowned in disgust, walked over, and shouted from a distance: "Qiao Rui!"
Qiao Rui also froze. Unexpectedly, Qiao Yufei also came out.
She had clearly seen Qiao Yufei going upstairs just now, so how could she come downstairs in the blink of an eye?
Isn't her target Pei Liyan?
Qiao Rui murmured in her heart, but turned around and shouted: "Second sister!"
"You idiot, why are you here looking at flowers alone? Didn't you see the eldest sister chatting with your husband upstairs?" Qiao Yufei couldn't get Pei Liyan, and naturally she didn't want Qiao Xiang to get her either.
Now, she felt that Qiao Rui, a country bumpkin, didn't seem to be such an eyesore.
"My husband?" Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, she couldn't adapt to this title.
"Pei Liyan!" Qiao Yufei said, "You ran out to enjoy the flowers and didn't even accompany your husband."
