Chapter 233 Why are you back?
It was late at night and the Pei family villa was very quiet. Only a few retro street lamps in the courtyard and the headlights in the living room emitted soft and warm light, creating a peaceful world.
Pei Luonan parked the car, turned off the engine, sat in the car for a moment, then slowly pushed the door open and walked out.
Inside the house, Pei Luochuan was lying on the soft sofa, playing a game, completely unaware of the noise outside.
Mother Pei was different. She was a light sleeper to begin with, and the slight vibration of the car engine just reached her ears through the window lattice, and she was instantly awakened from her dream.
She rubbed her eyes in the dark, adjusted for a moment, got up, put on a thick velvet nightgown, and walked out of the bedroom with a bit of eagerness and expectation. She had been thinking about this since she knew that Pei Luonan went to Gu Fanxing to celebrate the holiday on New Year's Eve.
Hearing the sound of the car engine, although Pei's mother was looking forward to the outcome of her son's New Year's Eve trip, she still felt worried.
According to her, this was a great opportunity and the atmosphere was so harmonious. Why didn't her silly son take advantage of the opportunity and stay there for a night to take a step further with that girl Fanxing? Why did he come back?
Even if it's just to express your feelings, or to create a little romantic surprise, to make a qualitative leap in their relationship, it's also better to put marriage and childbirth on the agenda earlier so that she can hold her first grandson soon.
With such good cards, why play them so conservatively?
Just as Mother Pei stepped into the living room, Pei Luonan happened to push the door open and the mother and son's eyes met.
Mother Pei stepped forward quickly and couldn't help but speak: "Luonan, I'm confused. Today is New Year's Eve. What a great atmosphere. Why don't you think of going forward? What a good opportunity. If you take the opportunity to express your feelings, maybe Fanxing will be moved, and this matter will be accomplished faster. Mom is still waiting to hold her grandson."
Pei Luonan was slightly startled, and a trace of barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across his face, like a child whose secret base was raided. He scratched his head subconsciously and called softly: "Mom, you haven't slept yet?" There was a hint of guilt in his voice, and he smiled helplessly: "Mom, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Mother Pei pulled Pei Luonan to sit on the sofa, picked up a pillow and put it behind him, and said angrily: "Are you still in a hurry? You have known Fanxing for more than half a year. I have given her the heirloom of our future daughter-in-law. Why are you in a hurry?"
At this time, Pei Luochuan finished his fierce battle. Hearing the noise in the living room, he staggered out in slippers, his hair disheveled like a bird's nest, sleepy eyes, yawned and muttered: "Brother, you're finally back. Mom has been missing you all day." After that, he picked up an apple and started to eat it, his curious eyes wandering between his brother and mother.
Pei's mother rolled her eyes at him: "You kid, you only know how to play games, unlike your brother who knows how to spend the holidays with girls." Pei Luochuan replied with a playful smile: "I'm just making room for you, and besides, chasing girls is not as easy as playing games."
Pei's mother ignored Pei Luochuan's jokes and turned to ask Pei Luonan: "What about Fanxing's attitude towards you? Is she closer? I can tell you, our whole family likes this girl, you have to be attentive."
Pei Luonan's ears turned red, and he coughed lightly: "Mom, don't worry, I know what to do."
Mother Pei showed a look of joy and clapped her hands, "That's good. I hope you can achieve your goal soon. It will be so lively as a family."
Pei Luochuan said, "Mom, you are so impatient. It's not even a start yet. My brother has to take his time."
Mom glanced at Pei Luochuan and said, "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. You have to hurry up on this matter. By the way, do you know what Fanxing likes and what her hobbies are? Be prepared next time you meet."
Pei Luonan nodded: "She loves reading. There is a second-hand bookstore in the old city that she often goes to. She also likes to make some snacks by herself, and her skills are pretty good..." When he mentioned this, the smile on his face grew.
Pei Luochuan stood up and patted Pei Luonan on the shoulder: "Brother, come on, when you marry my sister-in-law, our Pei family will be more interesting, and I can play this game for a few days less."
"You'd better take care of yourself. You're not a child anymore." After saying that, Pei Luonan walked towards the room and his figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Pei Ma and Pei Luochuan looked at each other, and instantly, they had a tacit understanding, just like two "drama queens" preparing to plan a big show.
Mother Pei was the first to break the silence. She raised her eyebrows, moved closer to Pei Luochuan, and said in a low but teasing voice, "Your brother's soul has completely fallen on that girl Fanxing tonight. Did you see that? When he mentioned her, his eyes lit up and his voice unconsciously became soft." As she spoke, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Pei Luochuan laughed out loud, imitating Pei Luonan's expression just now, and deliberately pinched his voice to learn: "'Mom, she loves reading, there is a second-hand bookstore in the old city that she often goes to...' Oh my god, when has our Pei family ever produced such a lovesick person? I even suspect that my brother has been secretly replaced by someone."
Mother Pei patted Pei Luochuan lightly and pretended to be angry: "You little brat, you are so naughty, don't tease your brother. But to be honest, your brother usually looks very calm, but when it comes to Fanxing's matter, he panics and gets nervous, like a young boy on his first date."
Pei Luochuan sat back on the sofa and said with a smile: "Mom, you don't understand this, it's called one thing conquers another. I think my brother will have a headache for his sister-in-law in the future. One day, if his sister-in-law frowns, he will have to think for a long time whether he has done something wrong."
Mother Pei also sat down, plucked a grape and put it into her mouth, nodding as she chewed, "It's really possible. Judging from today's situation, my family will probably have to revolve around Fanxing in the future. Your brother has been concentrating on his work these years, and his love life is as monotonous as boiled water. Now that he has finally met someone he likes, our family must fully support him."
Pei Luochuan became excited: "Of course! Mom, do you think we should help my brother?"
Mother Pei's eyes lit up, and she poked Pei Luochuan's forehead with her finger: "You are the only one who has many tricks, but this is a good idea. Let's discuss it tomorrow. We have to do it cleverly so that your brother and Fanxing don't notice."
"Don't worry, Mom. Are you still confident in my work? I guarantee it will be flawless!" Pei Luochuan patted his chest loudly, his face full of pride, as if he had already seen his elder brother successfully win the girl's heart with the help of his "clever plan".
Mother Pei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't just talk and don't do anything. If something goes wrong, I'll deal with you. Anyway, you're not a child anymore. When can you bring a girlfriend home for me to take a look at?"
Pei Luochuan was instantly like an eggplant hit by frost: "Mom, we were just talking about my brother, why are you talking about me? I haven't finished my game yet, so I can't take care of my girlfriend for the time being."
Mother Pei snorted, "What an excuse you made. Can playing games make a living? I'll go ask around among your friends someday to see if there's a suitable girl. I'll definitely help you with your business."
Pei Luochuan wailed and ran towards the room shouting, "Mom, please don't do that. I'm going to sleep first. We'll talk about it tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow..." He disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only Pei's mother shaking her head helplessly in the living room with a smile on her lips. The Pei family will be in for a lot of fun in the future.
Pei Luonan returned to the room, slowly walked to the window, opened a corner of the curtain, looked out the window at the quiet night, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
As for his relationship with Gu Fanxing, even though the road ahead is long and he has to be careful and cautious and keep his heart on edge at all times, it will all be worth it as long as he thinks that the final destination might be spending the rest of his life with her.
He secretly clenched his fists, as if to encourage himself, then turned around, walked to the bed with a complex mood of unknown yet full of expectations for tomorrow, ready to find that brief sweetness and warmth again in his sleep.
Although the story of the Pei family that night has come to a temporary end, the future days will be long and the Pei family is destined to be lively and full of warmth.
