Chapter 184
Weisheng Huailing, who had previously surrounded Ji Yanchuan, no longer had the heart to do so.
He now had only one question: "Who is the unlucky bastard next in line for the plot?"
Lin Qing: "Sob, sob, sob, I hope it’s not me! I can’t handle Qiao Chuchu’s suspicion and wrath."
Lou Yuejue: "And it definitely shouldn’t be me! I’m not mentally prepared to handle it yet!"
Lou Tingsi: "@Pei Yuan, I think the probability is higher for someone from your family. Any thoughts?"
Pei Yuan, cold as ice: "As long as it’s not Pei Youchuan, anyone else is fine."
Pei Fengnong’s sharp remark: "Third Brother is a guy who can’t keep his mouth shut. No problem with his work skills, but when it comes to matters of the heart, he’s got zero tact."
Pei Youchuan: "What do you mean, who can’t keep his mouth shut?"
Pei Mu: "You."
Pei Ci: "You."
Pei Youchuan: "......"
Pei Buxian said ominously: "Pei Youchuan, if you expose us, I’ll come to your room at night..."
Pei Youchuan: "?"
Ying Chen: "What, to clobber him with a stick?"
Pei Buxian: "To cut up all his sneakers."
Ying Chen: "?"
Ying Chen sent a meme.
Weisheng Biehe: "You better watch out. We’ve lost track of Qiao Chuchu. Currently, she’s MIA."
Pei Youchuan: "Haha, you’re all way too nervous. It’s definitely not me. Although my plot hasn’t started yet, I have a feeling it’s still a long way off. After all, I’m the strongest guy in the Pei family. I’m the toughest, no one can touch me!"
He raised his phone, filming a short video of his beaming smile: "And I’m at the Lan City docks right now, about to board a luxury cruise to talk business. Let you guys in on this gorgeous view of the sea!"
As Pei Youchuan turned around, he inadvertently caught Qiao Chuchu in the frame.
She appeared like a ghost, and her voice echoed in his mind: [Oh, my soon-to-be-drowned Third Brother, cherish these moments while you’re still breathing. Once you board that ship, you’ll become the sole unlucky soul to meet your end in this capsizing disaster.]
Pei Youchuan: "?"
Huh?
He put down the phone, his fingers instinctively hitting send.
No one had opened the video filled with his self-admiration.
But then Pei Buxian chimed in: "Ah! Chuchu’s in the video! It’s definitely Third Brother’s turn to die!"
Even Qiao Chuchu’s inner thoughts were recorded!
Pei Fengnong couldn’t believe it: "Pei Youchuan is going to drown?"
Among the Pei brothers, Pei Youchuan was the most robust, practically a double-door fridge.
Pei Ci couldn’t help but comment: "You really can’t judge a book by its cover. I thought he’d at least get trampled by an elephant."
Pei Youchuan: "?"@@novelbin@@
What’s with the elephant comment?!
He nervously looked up, staring at Qiao Chuchu not far away.
The sea breeze caressed Qiao Chuchu’s fluffy curls as she hopped off her scooter, standing beside it, watching him.
Pei Youchuan instinctively took two steps back.
...Why do the things I fear the most always happen?
What would Qiao Chuchu do to him? Would she hate him?
Punish him?
He wanted to back away further, but his feet felt rooted to the ground, refusing to budge.
To his surprise, he realized that if Qiao Chuchu were to punish him for this, he didn’t want to escape. He only wanted to apologize, to please her, no matter what, just don’t ignore him.
But if Qiao Chuchu ignored him because of those thoughts...
It would be better to kill him.
Thinking this, he grinned, spreading his arms and running toward her: "It’s been a minute, and you’re already coming to see me. You must miss me. Come, let Third Brother give you a hug, and let’s head to the luxury cruise together!"
Qiao Chuchu turned and walked away, straight to the staff, pulling out a wad of cash: "I’m a mom, and my son Zihan will be boarding the ship later. I believe your ship has safety issues. Please thoroughly inspect it now."
[It’s so easy to fix Pei Youchuan’s mess. Just find the bad spot on the ship, have the staff switch it, and that’s it. I don’t even need to waste words on Pei Youchuan. This will be solved effortlessly.]
Qiao Chuchu smirked: [Zihan is a treasure, always ready to shine.]
The staff was a bit awkward: "Eh...that doesn’t really comply with regulations. Where’s your son Zihan?"
Pei Youchuan, looking like a mobile fridge, stepped up to the staff, his voice booming: "I am Zihan."
The staff: "?"
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
What do you think?
