Chapter 208 Don't Be a Coward
In the afternoon, Pei Luochuan, as usual, lazily lay on the sofa and browsed the entertainment news. Sometimes he laughed out loud at some interesting content, and sometimes he looked relaxed and indifferent.
Just then, the door opened and Pei Luonan walked in, dragging his slightly tired body.
Pei Luochuan suddenly jumped up from the sofa, his eyes flashing with excitement, looking like a little monkey who had discovered a new toy.
"Brother, you're finally back!" Pei Luochuan rushed to Pei Luonan in a few steps, with a gossipy smile on his face, "Did you deal with Brother Yunchen today? Tell me quickly, I can't wait."
Pei Luochuan rubbed his hands as he spoke, the scene of Shi Yunchen being humiliated by his brother already appeared in his mind, and that scene made him very excited.
Pei Luonan's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and that look was like a sharp sword, piercing straight at Pei Luochuan, and he said coldly: "Are you too idle? Do you want me to help you stretch your muscles?"
This scene happened to be seen by Pei's mother who came out of the kitchen. She was holding a bunch of green vegetables in her hand. There were water droplets hanging on the leaves, which were crystal clear under the sunlight.
Mother Pei pretended to be angry and said, "What are you two bastards doing? You are so dishonest all day long."
Mother Pei has always been frank with her two sons. She says whatever she wants to say, never hides anything, and never spoils them.
Seeing this, Pei Luochuan quickly hid behind Pei Ma like a clever little rabbit, sticking only his head out, then pulled Pei Ma's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, look at my brother, he wants to bully me. You have to make the decision for me."
Mother Pei smiled and patted Pei Luochuan's hand, saying: "For those who are simple-minded, it is natural to be bullied, isn't it?" Mother Pei's words were merciless at all.
Pei Luochuan was already accustomed to Pei Ma's speaking style. He chuckled with a gleam in his eyes.
"Mom, do you know? Brother Yunchen broke the news in the group of the Five Handsome Men, saying that he sent Sister Fanxing home.
You also know how I usually treat girls. This time, I actually sent Sister Fanxing home, which surprised everyone.
It seems that I am going to punish Brother Yunchen because of this."
When Mother Pei heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up like two shining stars.
She put down the vegetables in her hand, pulled Pei Luochuan to sit on the sofa, and said anxiously: "Really? Your brother sent Fanxing home? This is really good news."
Pei Luochuan nodded and continued, "Yes, Mom. You also know that Sister Fanxing has come to our house twice, and we all like her very much. You have always hoped that they can develop well. This time, brother took the initiative to send her home, it seems that the relationship has made progress."
Mother Pei couldn't stop smiling, and the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out, as if she had become several years younger.
She looked at Pei Luonan, her eyes full of relief: "I knew it, I knew that this child finally got it. Fanxing is such a good child, beautiful, sensible and polite. The last time she came to my house, she helped me cook, and she got along with us like a family. I have long regarded her as my own daughter-in-law."
Pei Luonan sighed helplessly, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said: "Mom, don't think too much, I just gave her a ride, nothing special."
Pei Ma's smiling face suddenly fell, her brows furrowed, and a hint of disappointment and anger flashed in her eyes.
She stood up suddenly, pointed at Pei Luonan and began to scold him: "On your way? If it's not on your way, you won't send me off? You little brat, you dare not take the responsibility for what you did.
I think you like Fanxing, but look at you, what do you look like? You are so shy and timid, are you still a man? If you like her, just chase her openly! What is this? You are going to piss me off to death as a mother! "
Pei Luonan was somewhat at a loss for words by Pei's mother's sudden outburst. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain: "Mom, it's not what you think. I..."
"What do you mean? Don't make excuses for me. Don't I know you? You are a coward. You don't even dare to chase the girl you like. Do you want to live alone for the rest of your life?" Mother Pei became more and more excited. Her face flushed red. She waved her hands constantly, completely disregarding her image.
Pei Luochuan was dumbfounded. He didn't expect his mother to be so angry. He wanted to persuade her: "Mom, don't be angry. My brother may have his own difficulties..."
"Don't speak for him! What difficulties could he have? He's just a coward! Why did I give birth to such a useless son?" Mother Pei glared at Pei Luonan fiercely, her eyes full of disappointment.
Seeing that Pei's mother was so excited, Pei Luonan took a deep breath and said calmly: "Mom, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Some things can be rushed, and some things require the right time, place, and people. Don't be impatient, otherwise it will be counterproductive."
When Mother Pei heard her son speak so confidently, she felt that it made sense and her anger subsided a lot.
But she still pretended to be angry and said, "I gave birth to a stupid son who is so slow to chase a girl. How can I not be anxious? My sisters and grandchildren are all soy sauce, but I don't even have a wife. How can I not be anxious?"
Pei Luochuan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Mom, who is my brother? He is a big shot in the business world, and he must be a master of love. Don't worry about it. After all, a tiger mother will not have a dog son!"
After hearing what Pei Luochuan said, Pei's mother calmed down and stopped talking.
In the evening, the family sat at the dining table to eat.
When Pei's father came back from get off work, he saw that the atmosphere was a little strange and asked, "What happened today? I feel like you all are weird."
Pei Luochuan was about to speak, but was stopped by Pei Luonan's eyes. Pei's mother also said softly: "Nothing, let's eat."
Dad Pei didn't ask any more questions and started eating.
At the dinner table, Pei Luonan ate silently.
He knew that although his mother's words were harsh, they were for his own good.
After finishing his meal, Pei Luonan returned to his room and gently closed the door, as if to shut out the noise from the outside world.
He walked to the desk and sat down. On the desk was a delicate little box containing bits and pieces of memories he had collected about Gu Fanxing. There was a glass marble she gave him when she was a child. The colorful colors flickered under the light, just like the precious and obscure memories between them.
Pei Luonan picked up the glass marble, rubbed it gently in his hand, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
The agreement between him and Gu Fanxing as boyfriend and girlfriend is not only a helpless choice, but also a way for him to stay close to Gu Fanxing in this complicated situation. Under this seemingly false appearance, he has a deep affection for her for more than ten years.
He knew that Gu Fanxing's revenge plan was a fire in her heart, which burned her emotions and left her no time to care about anything else.
He could only guard silently by the side, like guarding a flower struggling in the storm.
On the one hand, he longed to get closer to Gu Fanxing and to hug, kiss and express his love to her like normal couples; on the other hand, he was afraid that his impulse would ruin her plans and cause her irreparable harm.
He couldn't be the wind that made the flowers wither faster. He could only wait, wait for her to succeed in revenge, wait for her to let go of her hatred, wait for her to truly see his love and walk towards him willingly.
In the living room, Pei's mother and Pei Luochuan were still discussing in a low voice how to help Pei Luonan and Gu Fanxing improve their relationship, take their relationship a step further, and allow the Pei family to welcome a new member as soon as possible.
This night at the Pei family is full of expectations for the future and blessings for love, but little do they know that beneath this seemingly beautiful appearance, there is also an unknown secret and complex emotional entanglements.
