Chapter 663 - 663 348 Reconciliation_2
Chapter 663: Chapter 348: Reconciliation_2 Chapter 663: Chapter 348: Reconciliation_2 Taking advantage of the break between TV shows, Pei Muchan glanced at Lin Wanzhou doing yoga and couldn’t help but curl her lip.
What are you showing off for if he’s not here?
It’s obvious who’s got the better figure.
That said, Pei Muchan has been feeling a tad lazy these past few days.
She barely felt like moving, even after ‘that’, Xu Qingyan had to carry her to the bathroom.
However, she’s been controlling her diet, so she’s not worried about gaining weight, and she checks her weight on the scale every day.
She had also thought about getting a yoga mat and showing the little ones what a real woman looks like.
So what if she has a yoga mat and can do yoga?
But while her mind is willing, her body isn’t on the same page.
Forget it, let her off the hook.
But these days have indeed been strange; it’s been nearly half a week into the quarantine.
The situation seems to be getting more serious, and she has no idea what’s happening outside.
Pei Muchan put down her phone and turned her head to look at Lin Wanzhou again, feeling curious.
This woman…
Her schedule should be busier than mine, right?
With the New Year approaching, why doesn’t she look worried at all?
Doesn’t she need to attend various New Year’s Eve shows?
Although she was curious, Pei Muchan would never ask, as that would seem like admitting inferiority.
What does being childhood sweethearts matter, they’ve already been intimate.
Besides, Xu Qingyan is still cautious around her.
Sister, you better go online and look up what men like.
And here you are practicing yoga, huh.
Lin Wanzhou turned her head, sensing some gazes, and couldn’t help curling her lip.
Older woman!
Xu Qingyan had gone out but not to look for Shen Jinyue upstairs.
Instead, he went downstairs to collect supplies and contacted the leaders to get a clear picture of the situation.
Their community had poked a hornet’s nest of a biological issue, and a whole bunch of people needed to be quarantined.
The leaders thought he wanted to come out, and while hesitating, they were moved to tears when they heard him say he wouldn’t trouble Dongzhou.
The leaders immediately felt moved by such a conscientious entrepreneur.
Not only did he bring capital to Dongzhou but also solved a huge employment gap and boosted jobs.
At such a critical time, he was still promoting his philosophy of not troubling Dongzhou.
Honestly, the leaders even thought about finding a way to help him.
They couldn’t let talent be discouraged, but after several explorations were sternly rejected by Xu Qingyan, there was no other option.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingyan, wearing a mask, took two sets of supplies upstairs.
Then, he got clean supplies prepared by Zhou Mian from another location.
Including some medicines, family planning supplies…
Hmm?
Zhou Mian was well-prepared indeed.
To prevent contamination, he even went through special channels for no-contact delivery.
It was costly, but Xu Qingyan was willing to pay for this situation.
Any amount of money was insignificant compared to the alternative ending he envisioned, maybe even a kidney-tonifying medicinal wine would suffice.
Xu Qingyan stroked his chin, wondering if Zhou Mian was over-analyzing things.
Was this kid trying to play the court strategist?
Always observing everything?
After going upstairs, he found both women in the living room and didn’t pay much attention.
The other set of supplies he left in the foyer, as he had just delivered it to Shen Jinyue and the others.
While organizing vegetables in front of the fridge, he suddenly felt someone approaching.
He turned around to find Lin Wanzhou squatting down in front of him.
“Let me help you.”
“No need, no need, I can sort it out myself, it’s not much.” Xu Qingyan naturally wouldn’t let Lin Wanzhou handle these, especially with Pei Muchan present.
In the living room, on the sofa.
Pei Muchan felt unsettled listening in.
What does that mean, is it showing that I’m lazy?
The little friend sure has a lot of thoughts!
She thought about it, got up from the sofa, and walked to Xu Qingyan’s other side.
Glancing at him, she said nothing and squatted down to help him sort the vegetables.
“Uh…
you two.” Xu Qingyan was bewildered.
What’s going on?
Why suddenly this intense competition?
In the past, just hearing the phrase “you two” would have surely caused Pei Muchan to sulk.
But after spending a week together, Pei Muchan didn’t really have any reaction anymore.
In the evening, Xu Qingyan cooked dinner as usual, and Lin Wanzhou came over to lend a hand.
Pei Muchan wasn’t used to it, but refused to be shown up, and the three of them in the kitchen didn’t feel crowded.
But both women couldn’t cook to save their lives, they were truly more of a hindrance.
Xu Qingyan didn’t dare to say anything, it was like fishing in water.
If he said something even slightly harsh, the happy fish would immediately swim away.
From the beginning of the lockdown in the residential complex, it has been exactly ten days.
Lin Wanzhou’s phone has been ringing non-stop, and she had arranged a six-day timeframe with Wen Yun, which has already been exceeded.
Pei Muchan was looking on with amusement, watching television on one side.
Every time she saw Lin Wanzhou quietly stepping out to the balcony to make a call, she wanted to laugh.
Can’t sit still anymore, can you?
Unlike her, who hardly has much work at all.
When she wanted to work, she could be diligent, but when she occasionally wanted to rest…
With a studio running normally, even a shutdown wouldn’t have much of an effect.
As time pushed on day by day, Pei Muchan felt a bit bored too, almost half a month had passed.
Finally, during lunch, she could not help but ask.
“When will the lockdown outside end?”
Hearing this, Lin Wanzhou also looked up.
At first, she felt a bit guilty because Wen Yun had been urging her to come out, not to use…
intentional delays.
Wen Yun had been calling and urging these past few days, and she had been assuring.
And then…
Wen Yun couldn’t stand it, tried to pull some strings to get her out, only to find…
It was completely impossible.
The situation this time was unprecedentedly severe, not something a bit of clout could solve.
Thus, Lin Wanzhou actually felt relieved, although it meant work was delayed.
But…
all things considered, she couldn’t leave.
Not being able to leave was one thing, but in her heart, she also didn’t want to leave.
After all, Pei Muchan looked completely lax, as if work was unnecessary, which made her exceedingly anxious.
If she left, wouldn’t all her previous efforts be in vain?
Now, suddenly hearing Pei Muchan saying this, Lin Wanzhou felt a trace of joy.
Is the old lady…
finally unable to sit still?
Wants to leave?
“Ah?” Xu Qingyan looked up and after pondering for a while, said, “The situation outside is a bit complicated, I’ve also asked the leaders on Dongzhou’s side, and the answer I got was…”
“What?”
“Not optimistic, I’m afraid.
Xinghai has also implemented a policy, no entry allowed.” Xu Qingyuan explained, “Not to mention being unable to leave Dongzhou, you might even get stranded at Xinghai Airport.”
“Do you have any urgent matters?”
Pei Muchan shook her head, “I’m not in a rush, it’s just that I’ve been feeling a bit restless, it’s been almost half a month.”
Xu Qingyan hummed a response, then asked.
“Shall we clear the living room, set up for playing badminton?”
Pei Muchan thought over it and agreed.
“If it’s going to be locked down for a month, simply waiting around is too boring.”
“Alright, I’ll start setting it up this afternoon.” Xu Qingyan nodded, then turned to look at Lin Wanzhou, “What about you, will you join us?
There’s a computer in the study.”
“I…
I might as well.” Lin Wanzhou was also somewhat fed up, always lying down or sitting in a small space, constantly on guard against the old lady’s tricks.
Furthermore, with work pressing from the other side, to be honest, she was also on edge.
Hearing that they could play badminton brought her some anticipation.
“I think I bought a game console that can be hooked up to the TV for simulation games,” Xu Qingyan said, “The study has chess, and there’s also international chess.”
“There should be playing cards and Ludo as well, which came with the house.
The quality is so-so, but they should be playable.
Do you want them?”
Gulp, Lin Wanzhou blinked.
Having been locked down for too long, she was indeed a bit tempted, even though it was with the old lady.
“I have no issues, isn’t she supposed to have a ton of work?” Pei Muchan laughed, her arms crossed, “You ask her, see if she’s in the mood to play.”
“I don’t have any issues either!
Work has already stopped!” Lin Wanzhou retorted, “Right now, everywhere is locked down, and the local Spring Festival Gala may go with a live broadcast.”
While she was saying this, Pei Muchan suddenly remembered something and asked.
“Then won’t you have to spend the Spring Festival right here?”
“That might be the case, if the lockdown is lifted in a few days…” Lin Wanzhou said.
“You can stop thinking about that, are you guys on the Spring Festival Gala program?
Are you dancing or singing?” Pei Muchan asked casually, bypassing Xu Qingyan.
Damn, the eunuch messenger is already useless.
The two madams are communicating directly.
What do you think?
