Chapter 570: Chapter 356: I Can Still Salvage This
Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning deliberately played along in the group chat, subtly hinting to Zhao Qingge and Huang Tianxuan that they were planning to do something bad with Li Peifeng. Their purpose was naturally to assert their dominance, provoking Zhao and Huang to become jealous and unhappy, thus staying away from Li Peifeng.
This tactic was an old routine; Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning had used it many times before. However, it worked best this time because Li Peifeng was very cooperative.
An open scheme, a blatantly obvious one.
Li Peifeng, the hungry ghost for lust, knew it was a trap but willingly fell into it.
This was something Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning had anticipated. They knew Li very well: once they dressed up beautifully and showed some initiative, Li Peifeng would definitely fall for it.
And this would inevitably trigger some follow-up reactions. For example, Zhao Qingge, filled with anger, might rush from home to Jintian City to catch them in the act.
If Old Zhao were to witness the scene of the three in a heated argument, there would be no need to elaborate on the consequences; it was a situation Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning were eager to see. As long as Zhao Qingge showed up, their plan to ’eliminate the competition’ would be halfway to success.
But their move was primarily aimed at Zhao Qingge, with little hope of it affecting Huang Tianxuan. This was because Old Huang was relatively generous about it, with weaker possessiveness, or perhaps a much lower moral threshold for such things. She had witnessed the three of them fooling around more than once and had even eavesdropped through door cracks without much reaction.
In fact, and indeed as Wu and Xu had predicted, upon learning about it, Huang Tianxuan was deliberately teased by Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning. Apart from feeling a bit angry initially, her emotions quickly settled down, and she couldn’t be bothered to care.
Therefore, Huang Tianxuan had no interest in Zhao Qingge’s ’catch them red-handed’ suggestion. Instead, she advised, "There’s no need to go there and make yourself upset. Even if you see them three rolling in bed, what can you do?"
Zhao Qingge was momentarily speechless and asked, "Have you returned to the Capital? Can you go?"
"I returned the day before yesterday, even earlier than you. I can go, but I don’t want to."
Huang Tianxuan paused for a moment and reminded, "And don’t forget his special ability. As long as Peifeng wants to, he can monitor our movements in real-time. So even if we go, he’d likely find out in advance and avoid us."
"I want to go anyway!"
Zhao Qingge enunciated each word: "If I don’t go, I’m condoning their crimes! Condoning crime is also a crime!!"
Huang Tianxuan said calmly, "What if Li Peifeng goes wild and makes a criminal out of you too? I can’t stop him, and the four of us together aren’t enough for one of his hands."
Zhao Qingge replied decisively, "He wouldn’t dare!"
Wouldn’t dare? What is it that he wouldn’t dare to do?
Huang Tianxuan chuckled, "Fine, fine, if you want to go, go ahead. I’m not going. Besides, Peifeng and I have also committed a crime before, and we plan to commit a perfectly orchestrated crime tomorrow. Hopefully, it will yield some results. If you can’t stand it, I suggest you stay away from this criminal in the future."
"Are you really going to have a child with him?!"
"Yes."
After being teased by Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning and now provoked by Huang Tianxuan, Zhao Qingge finally couldn’t hold it in anymore: "No way, you can’t have a child, we... you guys aren’t even married, how can you have a child?"
"Who says you can’t have a child if you’re not married?"
"It’s just not allowed!!"
Huang Tianxuan mischievously smiled, "Then call the police and have your student arrested."
"..."
Zhao Qingge fell silent, and Huang Tianxuan didn’t want to tease her any further, sighing, "Things have come to this, if you cannot accept it, break it off with him immediately. If you can accept it, then have a good talk with him, discuss terms, come to an agreement... Alright, I have work, let’s chat again when there’s time?"
"Beep~ Beep~"
Zhao Qingge, her heart in turmoil, just hung up the phone when she heard that familiar voice in her mind again.
[Darling, I’m discussing work with them now. I’ll be back soon, don’t worry.]
Zhao Qingge’s heart tightened: "Then make a video call to let me see?"
[We’re still chatting. I’ll call you as soon as I’m home!]
[Get lost! You’re not allowed to be in bed with them while talking to me!]
[We’re not on the bed, and I miss you so much...]
[Shut up, sever the connection, you’re not allowed to think about me!]
Li Peifeng didn’t listen, and the emotions that came through were even stronger and more passionate, making Zhao Qingge suspect whether he was doing that sort of thing with Wu and Xu...
[I’m sorry, I can’t stop thinking about you. My damned mind only thinks of you, it serves no other purpose. Love won’t fade, longing won’t cease. I’ve thought of you until I’m covered in winter snow, longed for you until my head blooms with spring cherry blossoms. Luckily, our thoughts are audible, no distance between fish and birds can stop our hearts from meeting. I want you to hear the sound of longing, just like a thousand poems of the Tang Dynasty, or the wind teasing the golden wheat stalks in springtime. But if you find the noise unbearable, I’ll think of you a little quieter...]
Zhao Qingge squinted, "If you miss me that much, I’ll just come to Jintian City to find you."
[No need! I’ll finish up soon, and once I do, I’ll come to you.]
[Don’t come to my house. If you keep spying on my thoughts, I’ll head to Jintian City to find you right away!]
A fed-up Zhao Qingge issued a final ultimatum, and it worked—Li Peifeng’s voice disappeared from her mind, and her mood calmed down again. But as Zhao Qingge couldn’t help but think East and West, that peace was disturbed again.
Her mind conjured up fragments from their latest Shared Dream session, all scattered and, except for yellow, devoid of any other colors...
"Ridiculous, degenerate!"
Zhao Qingge cursed under her breath, picked up her phone intending to call Li Peifeng, but stopped herself, hesitated for a long time, then opened the desk drawer and took out a brown leather diary, picking up a pen to write.
